Le film s'ouvre sur la même scène à deux endroits différents : Oxford et Moscou. Deux hommes se serrent la main et vont dans des directions opposées. Tandis que l'un, Mississippi, chrétien pratiquant la Bible à la main, va à l'ouest, l'autre, René Saint-Claude, a Le Capital de Karl Marx. Une narratrice dit : "Deux amis ont décidé de changer le monde, l'un par la loi de Moïse, l'autre par la révolution mondiale". Puis l'un est mort, l'autre a empoisonné sa femme. Cependant les deux morts ont un lien.

En 1910, un cirque itinérant s’arrête dans une petite ville. Le directeur a pour pseudonyme Sacha Obolski.

De son vrai nom Alexander Oberholzer, il est revenu pour fêter l’anniversaire de son frère. Les petits-bourgeois déconcertés font la connaissance de sa ravissante épouse Iduna, qui chante une chanson en hommage à son père, un clown célèbre. Elle fait tourner la tête aux beaux-frères qui sont d’honnêtes maris, ce qui ne manque pas de créer des conflits.

Helen Bartlett (Carole Lombard) is the wife of the honest lawyer Ken (Fred MacMurray). She is a "writer" but cannot think of anything to write and instead lives in her fantasy world of telling lies. When she discovers that they are broke, she attempts to get Ken to take a case of a man who stole hams. Ken, who is scrupulously honest and will not defend a client who is guilty, finds out that the man really did steal the hams, and therefore does not take the case. Helen is forced to get a job as a secretary for businessman Otto Krayler (John T. Murray), a family friend. On her first day in his sumptuous apartment/office, he attempts to seduce Helen, which causes Helen to quit the job. However, she discovers that she accidentally left her hat and coat behind. She returns with her friend Daisy McClure (Una Merkel) only to find that Otto Krayler has been killed and $12,000 of missing money is the supposed motive. Police lieutenant Darcey (Edgar Kennedy) suspects Helen and take her into custody. To further complicate her situation, Helen spins multiple possible accounts of the murder, discussing how she might have done it in each scenario, but finally says that she had nothing to do with it.
