Glen Tryon and Blanche Mehaffey are a young and bickering couple. When he gets a raise from his boss, Glen invites the man for dinner and everyone pulls together: Glen, Blanche, the snapping dog and the cook who drinks half the gin and replaces it with kerosene in this amusing comedy from Hal Roach.
With Harold Lloyd going independent, Roach was trying to find a replacement: a young, normal-looking man who gets into comic scrapes. He hired Tryon for the task, but after a couple of years Tryon proved to be a capable player who didn't set the world on fire. You couldn't tell it from this comedy, which takes all the gags for the situation and puts them together in a rising arc of insanity. Glen's career would not suffer. He would move on to Universal, where he appeared in some fine shorts and features. After 1932, he moved mostly behind the camera and did ok for himself.
