Featuring Shemp Howard (Solo)
16.33 min. (Short Subject)
Late for his wedding to Sally (Jean Willes), Shemp borrows a car with no brakes and crashes into a hydrant, drenching bystander Maisy Keeler (Christine McIntyre). Brakes or not, Shemp heads for the church again, this time with Maisy in the back seat as he gives her a ride home. Of course her home is across the street from the church, and Shemp is left to face a furious Joe Keeler (Dick Curtis), the boxing champ. Back at his car dealership, Shemp's first order of business is delivering a new car to... the Keelers. Naturally, Sally thinks this is a rendevous and decides to leave Shemp. She puts their new home up for rent, and who should move in but... the Keelers. Shemp knows nothing of this, and decides to go back to his new bride in the middle of the night, and wearing his pajamas in the Keelers' bedroom.
