Nearly a knightmare.

Warning: Spoilers
Fortunately an ultra short short, featuring Hugh Herbert whose comic "hoo hoo's" in all those 1930's Warner Brothers musicals and comedies had him much beloved at the time but pretty dated schtick 80+ years later. This short has him on vacation with harridan wife Isabel Withers whose brother happens to be in the next hotel room on his honeymoon. The issue is that his wife sleepwalks and comes into Herbert's room while his wife is next door with her brother. Of course this is going to make the temperamental Withers even more furious, but the tension never really builds or goes anywhere. A few funny moments, particularly references to Withers nagging ways, and the sight of black janitor Ray Turner in a nightgown and blonde wig. Too many long pauses of dialog and action makes this one a literal drag.
