Lady Epping is reunited with her Lord (Leon Errol) here, but hubby appears minus his "Mexican Spitfire" disguise, so in essence, Lydia Bilibrook is playing the Elisabeth Risdon character, the wife frazzled by her husband's schemes. She's not as nagging as Risdon's Aunt Della, more frazzled like a subtle Billie Burke. The plot line surrounds a stolen deer head and Errol's drunken blackout where he had stolen the head from a restaurant to prove he had been hunting rather than on the convention which was most likely Bullwinkle moose rather than Bambi deer. There's more confusion involving the arrival of their newly married son, having just eloped with a young woman they've never met, and Errol's confusion upon meeting her, thinking that he's committed bigamy while under the spell of hooch. Errol tries to hide the two Mrs. Errols with hysterical chaos. More of the same from the Errol school of two reelers which had many bags, some five and dime, some Macy's, yet usually stuffed with a variety of goodies for shoppers of both stores.

It Started At The Convention
boblipton17 October 2019
Leon come home from an Atlantic City convention, having gotten blackout drunk. There he is confronted with Ann Sumners, the new Mrs. Errol. She is the bride of Leon's son, who is home on a three-day leave, but Leon thinks he married her during his drunk and he is now a bigamist.
Leon seems to have gotten himself convinced he was a bigamist in several episodes of his long-running series of shorts for RKO. Perhaps this is because so many different actresses played his wife in different movies, but I think not. It just amused people, including, I imagine, the writers, to think that this skinny balding shrimp of a man could imagine himself that much of a lady killer. In truth, he was married to one woman from 1906 through her death in 1946. Of his record with other women during that period, the record says nothing.
