Abbott and Costello become involved with a wealthy countess of Burponia who arrives in the U.S. seeking her missing husband and is willing to pay six million "klotskies" to find him. After a series of misadventures involving a garbage can and mistaken identities, the duo attempts to help locate the husband. Later, Costello purchases a suit on credit from a clothing store, but the salesman pursues him for payment, leading to more comedic chaos as Abbott and Costello try to resolve the situation.
