One day when John is out as Emma, a freight train derails and crashes into John's back garden. When his neighbor visits the scene of the accident, "Emma" returns home. In order not to be exposed, John tells his neighbor that Emma is his wife, whom he has secretly married. Now John and Emma are forced to convince the neighborhood that they are both husband and wife.
