Spoilers ahead
In Atlantic City, Flash and Blodgett run a modest studio that specializes in alibi photography—fake tourist shots built with improvised backdrops to provide clients with convincing proof they were somewhere else in the country. Their business thrives on the silly, the sly, and the carefully staged lie, always delivered with a wink and a camera shutter.
One day, a married couple arrives separately seeking these photographic proofs: Bud Nimrod wants evidence of a Maine moose hunt, while Connie Nimrod requests proof of Washington, D.C. The two photographers, unsuspecting that the pair are husband and wife, decide to play matchmaker with a light touch and a mischievous spark, hoping to fuel a more entertaining commission.
