Plot
Rich oil tycoon (Finlayson) awakens one morning after a night of carousing to be told that he was married the night before. Not only does he have a new wife but also a new golddigging stepdaughter and brother-in-law who want to kill him. His lawyer (Laurel) is called in to straighten things out when a blackmail attempt is made. He decides to hide out in a hotel with his butler (Hardy) and his lawyer (Laurel). He finally escapes by climbing on Stan’s shoulders, wearing a long overcoat and pretending to be Ollie’s wife. Wild chases through a dance hall and amusement park ensue.[1]
