Nora Lane is scheduled to wed Franklin Pangborn, who ever agrees, including her, is a fine match, since he's rich. Then aviator Edward Nugent drops in twice via parachute while Pangborn is training for a charity boxing match.
It's directed by George Marshall. Film fans known Marshall from directing DESTRY RIDES AGAIN and some fine comedies for Paramount from 1940 through the middle of the 1950s. He had started out in the silent era as a director of comedy shorts, and had become head of Fox's short comedy production, so he knew what he was doing, and does it well here, with complications like Charles Sullivan being Pangborn's scheduled boxing opponent -- but he's also Pangborn's chauffeur and doesn't want to lose his job by showing up the boss.
It's a rough period in Sennett's history, but this is fun little comedy.
