| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Palm Beach Story |
|---|
An inventor and his wife, named Tom and Gerry, are almost broke. Gerry decides to travel to Palm Beach to get a divorce, not out of spite, but to marry a rich man and give her former husband the money. Insanity abounds as Tom chases after her, and they eventually masquerade as brother and sister to keep from scaring off her wealthy future husband.
