Stanley is supposed to go out with Ollie for a night on the town, but his wife, Anita Garvin, objects. So he steals her bottle of liquor -- not knowing she has switched the booze for cold tea with pepper -- and sneaks out.
This sort of 'boy's night out' short comedy dated bac decades, if not centuries when the Boys made this one, so they had plenty of material to choose from, from Stan being confounded by a Yiddish newspaper to Anita Garvin's brand of sexy shrewishness; of all the many top comediennes on the Hal Roach lot, none could approach her for comic malevolence.
