When Lita Chevret informs Andy Clyde that her mother is coming to visit, Andy looks forward to meeting her. When she turns out to be Blanche Payson -- a specialist in comic overbearing wives and mothers-in-law since 1916 -- and a Saint Bernard, matters quickly degenerate into a series of donnybrooks in this very funny short comedy.
Between ten years at Mack Sennet's studio, and twenty at Columbia -- where he starred in the short subject division's second-longest-running series -- Andy spent a short period at Educational Pictures, where he devised the character he would play for the next thirty years: a decent older fellow who gets into an increasingly disastrous series of situations. Although his later shorts were hampered by small budgets, here there's a full house for the final fight between him and Miss Payson, and the cast includes Bud Jamison, Billy Engle, and Bobby Dunn.
