The whole idea about a husband who loves to drink and carouse that is caught by his wife is nothing new. However, how well it is handled in this film is what makes this film so good.
Fatty goes to a bar and is getting drunk. He and his wife apparently live upstairs (is this an apartment with a bar or a hotel is hard to say) and when she comes down and catches him, she leads him upstairs and orders him to stay put and stay out of trouble. She leaves on some errand and he immediately runs across the hall to a poker game. Soon, a detective breaks up the game and spends most of the film looking for Fatty. Fatty tries to get back in his apartment but it is locked, so he hides out at the neighbors. The lady next door is alone--her husband just stepped out. And, when the husband returns, Fatty hides in a hideaway bed that rolls into the wall. This is by far the funniest bit, as he bounces in and out, back and forth in the bed until eventually, it comes smashing through the wall into his own apartment--where his angry wife and the detective are waiting. You really have to see it to appreciate it.
A very breezy and cute film.
