Ventriloquist Jerry Morgan has failed with another love affair. The reason: when the relationship reaches the point when it is time to discuss marriage, his two dolls become mean and jealous.

Since Morgan is leaving for Zurich the same night, he decides to hide the secret plan in the heads of the dolls.
