In order to keep both of their parents in their lives, the boys come up with a plan to get them back together. They write letters to each of their parents pretending to be the other parent, expressing their undying love and desire to reconcile. The plan works, and their parents eventually meet up to talk things over.
However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when the boys' parents overhear a radio program discussing the benefits of a trial marriage. Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to reunite their family, the parents decide to enter into a trial marriage themselves.
