Synopsis

On the eve of his wedding, Tom joins a poker game that is raided by police. Escaping through a women's bathhouse leads to borrowed clothes and a succession of mistaken identities. Disguised as a bishop, he eventually faces the prospect of conducting his own fiancée's wedding to someone else.
