Synopsis
Alan Tanner's new play opens in a week, but he just can't finish the third act. He's retreated to a snowbound cottage to work, but blonde neighbor Pat Quinn wants to play. Producer Arthur Layton sends Alice, Alan's first ex-wife, to help him stick to business. But then Daisy, his second ex-wife, shows up wanting her alimony. Stranded with two ex-wives, a girlfriend, and a jug of applejack, Alan still has to finish his play!
