Summary
Three wives have a problem on their hands - their happiness. They grow tired of sitting at home, while their husbands are elsewhere seeking a kick, and decide to have a little excitement of their own. One of the wives has an idea. They finally decide to try it out and teach the non-domestic husbands a deserved lesson. After many hilarious situations and complications, the husbands decide that perhaps they have been a little foolish in passing up the company of their respective wives, and decide that henceforth they will be only too glad to act as their escorts and at'enti e admirers.
