George Nordyke is married to Lynn, the perfect wife, but is unhappy about
it; his wife is so competent that poor George's masculine ego never gets
exercised. But along comes a spider with a coy approach, Lola May
Wayne, and Mr. Deflated files for divorce and ready to set up
housekeeping with a new web-master.But, on the eve of the trial (hence
the title) an orchestra leader who has been eying Lynn himself, is
murdered, and Lynn deliberately draws suspicion upon herself. And, just
as he thought, George comes running back to her rescue. George plans
to take her to their yacht and sail away to Canada but, curses, the yacht
has been de-commissioned, and won't be sailing anywhere. But Lola May
has followed them and reports their location to the police. The crime gets
solved and George and Lynn decide to forget about the divorce.
