Output (English): After nineteen years of marriage, Dan Edwards wife Val is exasperated with his lack of attention to her and the amount of attention he pays to a Los Angeles advertising agency that he runs with his friend, Ernie Brewer, a laidback secondincommand. Once an exciting man, Dan has become a bore to Valerie, as well as to their two children and to her feisty mother who lives with them. By contrast, they all look up to the exciting, swinging bachelor Uncle Ernie, who is always there to give advice to Val and the kids. Ernie enjoys telling Dan that hes envious of his friends family life and often reminds Dan that he was the one who was keen on Valerie first. Valerie likes it that Ernie does things her husband wont – dances with her, compliments her, even picks out the gifts Dan gets for her. Val is so frustrated, she seeks a lawyers advice about wanting a divorce. Ernie can see what his best friend is blind to, so he urges Dan to take his wife on a second honeymoon to Mexico. Once there, in a land of quickie marriages and divorces, Dan and Val get into an argument in front of proprietor Miguel Santos, and, before they know it, theyre divorced. An apologetic Dan makes it up to her, then arranges for them to be remarried right away. But an urgent business matter requires his presence back in L.A., then on to Detroit, to save his companys biggest account. Ernie travels to Mexico to explain everything to Val, unaware that shes expecting Dan and has already put the wedding ceremony in motion. By mistake, she ends up married to Ernie. Once he gets over his shock, Ernie anticipates a quickie divorce, but Val thinks she might enjoy this new arrangement. Dan, fed up with both of them, decides hes not exactly brokenhearted, either. Dan immediately discovers the joys of a swinging bachelor life, cavorting with Ernies sexy playmates and even with a young friend of daughter Tracys. As for poor Ernie, its up to him to run the business, which turns him into the same dull, inattentive husband to Val that her first one had been.
