At a Boston hotel, Constance mistakes the artist Bartlett for the former lover who abandoned her and tries to keep him near as a substitute. Their resemblance entangles Bartlett in the Wyatt family's strained relationships, while the comedy examines the pressures of marriage and the loneliness of unmarried women.
During an overnight train journey, anxious new mother Agnes Roberts repeatedly wakes a fellow passenger while worrying about her husband, baby, and long-absent brother. Her husband boards secretly, then mistakes the passenger’s berth for hers; when the brother finally joins them, Agnes and her aunt successively mistake the same Californian for their relatives and acquaintances. The three-part farce turns their mistaken identities and interruptions into escalating comedy.
