Plot: Sarah Alexander catches her straight-laced husband, Columbia University Assistant Professor of Chemistry Randy Alexander, kissing another woman. From Russ's perspective, he was the one being kissed innocently, the woman in question being a grateful transfer student. However, Ann wants a divorce. On the advice of Randy's friend, TV writer Mike Haney who is a self-professed libertine, Terry tries to convince Sarah that he is really an FBI agent, the kiss all in the name of national security. David, with the help of Mike's prop friend, even gets a fake ID and gun. The ruse works. But Sarah, excited about her husband's secret life, may not be able to keep her husband's occupation a secret. And the real FBI get wind that a fake ID has been made. They may be able to use Randy to their advantage. But if someone like Ann believes her husband is an FBI agent, others, such as foreign spies, may believe so as well.
Alternative Plot: After he's caught kissing one of his co-eds, college professor David Wilson (Tony Curtis) is given marching orders by his livid wife, Ann (Janet Leigh). In order to avoid divorce, David concocts an elaborate alibi with his TV writer buddy (Dean Martin) : he claims to have been on an undercover mission for the FBI and that the kiss was crucial to his mission. With the help of a few props, Ann believes her husband's tall tale completely. And that's when his problems start.
