store manager a card telling him to charge it all to him is it revealed he is "one of the richest men in the world," owner of the Erl King, a fabulous yacht, which the twosome board for the final leg of the journey to Palm Beach. Back in New York, the now despondent Tom receives the same kind of generous no-strings-attached charity from the Wienie King he had accused Gerry of trading sexual favors for, helping clear his mind. The King encourages him to rent a plane, fly to Florida, and show up with a bouquet of roses to win back his bride. Arriving at the railhead in Palm Beach, Tom is directed to the dock and Hackensacker's yacht. There he sees the affectionate new couple aboard. Failing to run him off on shore, a flustered Gerry introduces Tom as her brother, Captain McGlue. Hackensacker's oft-married, man-hungry sister, Princess Centimillia (Mary Astor), is immediately smitten with Tom, dismissing her current lover, in tow, the bumbling Toto, to retrieve a handkerchief. When Gerry tells Hackensacker, who is working his way round to propose to her, that her "brother" is a partner with her husband in the same investment, Hackensacker agrees to back it, saying he likes the Captain and it will keep it "all in the family" once they are married. Invited to stay at the Princess' estate, the Jeffers' couple valiantly try to maintain their farce – while Tom reluctantly wrangles to win Gerry back, and Gerry determinedly seeks to stick to her original plan. Until, to the strains of Hackensacker crooning Goodnight Sweetheart beneath their window, the couple end up romantically entangled just as they had their last night together. Unmasked the next morning, they are reunited as one and confess the ruse to the Hackensackers. After John agrees to finance Tom's invention as simply a "good investment", sans sentimentality, the matter is begged whether Tom and Gerry have a brother and sister. They do...twins! There is an elaborate dual wedding, with Tom as best man and Gerry as matron of honor, John hand-in-hand with Gerry's sister, and the Princess with Tom's brother. A title card tells us that they "lived happily ever after...or did they?", before credits roll.
