Plot

A summary from Motion Picture Herald reads:

The comedy concerns a girl for whom Barris falls, her sister, and the latter's husband played by big and big-voiced Edgar Kennedy, who believes Barris is making advances to his wife, and who pursues him with a large shotgun. It goes off at the wrong time, of course. [2]

Reception

"This Harry Barris comedy contains more really funny gags than any of the previous things in which he has been featured," a critic wrote for Photoplay . [3] "It's fast and funny," a writer for The Film Daily claimed, "and about the best short that Barris has appeared in." [4]
