not sure about the marriage

Michael O'Flaherty 'Speed' McBride (Pat O'Brien) forgets about his wife Connie's birthday which causes friction in the marriage. It doesn't help with the arrival of Connie's old admirer Gordon Tolliver (Rudy Vallée). Speed gets drunk at a bar and lets another man drive his car. They drive off a pier. The other man is killed but Michael is mistakenly identified. He is instead rescued by a passing river showboat. The boat leader Kismet (Adolphe Menjou) convinces him to play dead and haunt his wife in an effort to save his marriage.

First, Speed is not that great of a husband. It would be helpful if the marriage is worth saving. I have no evidence either way. Second, the premise is ridiculous. A silly story is not the end of the world. I'm just never fully convinced with the first problem that all the silly screwball antics amount to nothing much. I don't find it funny.
