The two hubbies immediately head for the hotel bar, leaving their wives to rave. Well aware of the reception awaiting them at the hotel they seek to soothe their wives by purchasing for each a diamond necklace from a street faker. The police have been warned to be on the watch for a pair of notorious diamond nippers, Stella and Steve, a reward for whose capture is offered. This pair of thieves spot Schultz and Stein's wives wearing the supposed valuable necklaces at the hotel lawn party and scheme to rob them. Stella then lures Schultz and Stein out for a row in order to leave the coast clear for Steve. Steve secures the necklace but in doing so, bungles the job. The police corner him on the end of the pier and, desperate, he flings the jewelry down to Stella, who happens to be rowing by with Schultz and Stein. The jewelry, however, falls into the ocean and Stella to recover it sets her two ardent admirers diving for it. Steve, to escape, jumps into the ocean and is rescued by Stella; they row away. The police then capture Schultz and Stein, the latter now having recovered the jewelry. They are arrested as diamond thieves. Meanwhile the wives have blamed the hotel manager for their loss. They make him pay dearly and then start in to enjoy life with the proceeds. The real diamond nippers are finally caught and Schultz and Stein are released. Then the indignant hotel manager forcibly recovers his money and kicks the troublemakers off his grounds. Schultz and Stein and their wives, however, go home happy for quite unexpectedly they are presented with the one thousand dollars reward for being instrumental in the capture of Stella and Steve.
