Featured review
Good but far from being a classic
When the short film begins, Charley (Charley Chase) returns home very, very, very late from a night out with his fellow lodge members, the Hoot Owls. His wife has fallen asleep a long time ago and he tries his best to enter their home without waking her. But she soon awakens and announces she's had enough of this--he's out with the Hoot Owls five times a week and if he goes to yet another meeting, she'll leave him! In desperation, he not only promises this but insists that he take her on a second honeymoon, since he was out with the Hoot Owls during their first! Once they arrive at the hotel, Charley begins flirting with a young lady. Not surprisingly, her husband is a very jealous sort and he soon arrives--ready to kill Charley. Can anything possibly save him?!
For the most part, this is just silly fun. While it's not close to the quality of Chase's older shorts with Hal Roach Studio, for his later films with Columbia it's pretty good. Full of the typical violence and mindless fun you'd expect from one of these films and nothing more. Oh, and if you are wondering, that IS Charley singing--he had a very nice voice and used it in quite a few of his films.
