It's not revenge against Leon Errol, but his wife Dorothy Granger, the head of a reform league who wants to shut down burlesque theaters. The management of the theater (Wally Brown) sends over burlesque star Betty Underwood simply to humiliate Mrs. Errol, and of course, it gets Leon into trouble too as he gets progressively drunker while hosting her. Supposedly cooking with alcohol, he drinks more than he pours in the food and that a Underwood greatly in her scheme of getting Leon to the theater in time to interrupt Granger's attempts to stop the show.
Leon Errol is rubber legged enough without adding alcohol to it and that makes him all the funnier. In fact, once he drinks the alcoholic concoction (made of a variety of liquors), he's even funnier than Red Skelton was in his famous guzzler's gin skit. It's funny watching Granger and her sour pussed friends sitting at the burlesque theater waiting for a chance to call the police, and of course that's interrupted by Errol's drunken presence where he ends up on stage. This is one of the shorts that definitely could have been expanded into a feature because there is plenty of opportunity for laughs here.
