honeymooners--father threatens to shoot hubby and arrives at same hotel, jealous husband.
When the story begins, a young couple has eloped and arrive at a hotel. The bride's parents soon arrive...and the father had threatened to shoot the man who elopes with his daughter...though they don't know the newlyweds are there. Another couple is quarrelling and the husband is the jealous type. And, as you watch, you just know that the three families will all have a major falling out in the hotel.
This is a short from Educational Pictures, a company that made mostly indifferently funny comedies for Fox. There were a few exceptions, but generally their output was not up to the quality of much of the competition...particularly Hal Road Studios.
While the folks in the film were not known for comedy, including John Litel was odd as he was never the least bit funny in his later pictures. Not surprisingly, as a result the film just wasn't very funny and they ended up doing very little with the nice set-up. The only part I really did like was the big confrontation scene between the groom and his father-in-law...that was cute.
