Robert Smith, wants to get married to hotel manicurist Joan Barclay. This will never do for the nephew of a man with an incompetent butler! Leon and wife Eva Puck head to the hotel to stop the wedding. There he mistakes manicurist Dorothy Granger -- yes, the same Dorothy Granger who usually played his wife in his long-running RKO series -- for Smith's fiancee. Leon and she have encountered each other before and she's glad to see him back, which annoys her current boyfriend, house detective Tom Kennedy.
That's an awful lot to cram into 20 minutes, along with Leon's blithering and dithering, sticking women into trunks and Dorothy crouching on top of a shower. When it comes to well-timed comedy gags, the more the merrier say I, and this sets them up and knocks them down very well. It's particularly good to see Miss Granger do a goodly percentage of the gags. Usually all she got to do in the series was shout at Leon and occasionally bust some ceramic bric-a-brac on his head.
