Wade Boteler thinks he's going to marry Andy Clyde's niece, but the wedding features Vernon Dent in a German accent; Boteler's role is to disrupt the cermeony with his weeping and wailing in this poor Mack Sennett short.
Sennett's comedy empire had contracted mightily from the 1910s, and here he is, directing this insufferable, laugh-free short, something he had left to far more capable hands for more than a decade. He soon would be out of independent production, still with his own logo, but effectively a line producer for Paramount. Even his occasional successes, like the W.C. Fields shorts, now recognized as classics, were seen as abject failures at the time.
