"That was no lady. That really was my wife", comic Andy Clyde says while trying to explain his way out of a situation, having gone out of town on business and caught trying to help the young woman in the next room with a leaky tub. He really was just trying to be helpful, but tell that to his jealous wife, the other woman's violently jealous husband and his meddlesome sister-in-law.
Obviously trust has to start somewhere, but not in these families. Geneva Mitchell is the alluring stranger, Bud Jamison the violent husband (and Clyde's client) and Esther's Howard (wife) and Muir (sister in law) one dimensional shrews. There are some funny moments but like most comedy shorts, not enough attention is given to character development, making most of the characters and situations very cartoonish in nature.
