Being a not-so-smooth wingman for his friend, Bunny concocts an unconvincing story about Gerald being a married man also on his way to Venice. Now, both men are left to find a fake wife to diminish Stephen’s suspicions.

!!Tropes:
*AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The Italian police have arrested Bunny on suspicion of being a burglar, and Gerald’s incompetent valet tries to clear things up by speaking absolute gibberish.
**Stephen is able to clear things up with actual Italian by saying he’s ‘’il amante’’ (i.e. her lover).
*CurtainClothing: When Germaine comes to Gerald’s home, he says her clothing has no style, and that her hips “don’t sing”. To prove that she’s the type of woman for him, she strips in front of him and takes on of his curtains and fashions it into a gown.
*FunWithHomophones: Gerald is quick to tell Stephan that he met Germaine in Cincinnati, but Germaine has to guess with Gerald trying to explain from his table:
-->'''Gerald''': ''Signally furiously'' Cinn…
-->'''Germaine''' [to Stephan]: We were living in sin!
-->'''Gerald''': ''Signally again'' Nati.
-->'''Germaine''': And we were very naughty!
*IdleRich: All except poor Germaine are.
*ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Claire wears a dress, that quite frankly, was pretty risqué for 1932.
*MistakenForCheating / NotWhatItLooksLike: Bunny climbed into Gemaine’s room and once he’s shooed away by her, Stephan runs in thinking there was a burglar. Both Claire and Gerald suspect something was going on between the two, but that wasn’t the case and is made clear by Bunny.
*PostKissCatatonia: Germaine feigns one specifically to make Claire jealous.

-->'''Germaine''': Breathing.

*RunningGag: Claire seems to always lose her dress in public places…
