STORY: The Boys tell their wives they have a business engagement, then sneak off to a poker game. En route, they stop to help two young ladies with a flat tire, and wind up splattered with mud. The girls invite them up to their apartment while their clothes dry, and all proceed to get roaring drunk. A boyfriend appears, sending L&H scrambling out the back window, in full view of their wives. |
| JB: Another film in the same vein as Should Married Men Go Home? and Their Purple Moment --- Laurel and Hardy exploring the ever fascinating world of married life. Like Their Purple Moment, this is a fine, average short and has some wonderful moments, especially the scenes of the one of the floozies playing with Stan's adam's apple --- but it is more important as a stepping stone to some of their later films, especially the classic features SONS OF THE DESERT and BLOCK-HEADS. |
