The More The Merrier.

Benjamin Dingle (Charles Coburn) arrives in Washington, D.C. as an adviser on the housing shortage and finds that his hotel suite will not be available for two days. He talks the reluctant young woman, Connie Milligan (Jean Arthur), into letting him sublet half of her apartment. Joe Carter (Joel McCrea) has no place to stay while he waits to be shipped overseas. When Connie finds out about the new arrangement, she orders them both to leave, but she is forced to relent because she has already spent the men's rent. Dingle takes full blame for the incident.
