Jack Benny is preparing his New Year's Eve radio broadcast but takes
time out to take his valet Rochester to meet his girlfriend Josephine
arriving on a steamer. Fred Allen and his sister Barbara are also en route
to the dock to meet Barbara's daughter Mary, returning from a personal
appearance tour in South America. Josephine is her maid. Their cars get
involved in an accident and, in a bumping contest, Fred reduces Jack's
old Maxwell to junk, and is taken to jail. Mary loses her dress in an
accident and Jack offers to get her another one, but winds up being
arrested for stealing. Barbara tells Mary that Fred is a nervous wreck
because of Jack's continual slander of him on Jack's radio program. Jack
hires the Merry Macs away from Fred and Fred decides to go to Miami for
a rest. Jack decides to open his radio program from Miami. They meet,
have another brawl, and end up in jail again. The two are in a motorboat
accident where both are knocked unconscious and Mary, in an effort to
end the feud, tells Fred that Jack saved his life. They have dinner
together at Fred's apartment and Rochester, whom Fred has hired away
from Jack, appears and the feud is on again.
