Mansfield comes up with a further back story for Barry to be married with a child, so that the disgruntled person will feel even more sorry for Barry.

Problems arise when one of those disgruntled subjects is Winfield Jackson, Betty's father, she who accompanies her father into the newspaper office and meets "married" Barry. Further complications ensue as Barry tries to win back Betty without divulging the nature of his work, all the while Betty, her father and others within their circle make wildly inaccurate assumptions about his life, and others stand to benefit from perpetuating the lie that Barry is indeed married.
