In a whirlwind scheme to untangle their lives, Milt pushes the unlikely Harry toward Ellen, sparking an improbable spark that leads to a hasty marriage and honeymoon at Niagara Falls; meanwhile, Milt weds Linda, but bliss turns to bedlam as both unions crumble under the weight of mismatched miseries, forcing Milt and Ellen to plot a desperate reunion by luring the obstinate Harry back to the fateful bridge.
