What a time Eddie Foy, Jr., and Jeanette Loff have trying to consummate their marriage. First, Jeanette's wedding dress catches fire as the happy couple traipse down the church steps; then Spanky from the Our Gang comedies hurls a muddy shoe that hits the lucky groom right in the kisser, followed by a frantic Key Stone Cops type chase down the streets of Hollywood; then to top it all uninvited guests--a multitude--drop in on the newlyweds. When the room finally clears and Eddie and Jeanette get ready to have a real wedding night, Benny from Panama, Eddie's old war buddy, arrives with a crew of sailors and an extremely animated and agitated mosquito.
Fans of old-time slapstick, Hal Roach style, are in for a treat. The last scene with a room full of assorted characters including the bride and groom attempting to swat the pesky insect is hilarious and shows the audience where the term "slap stick" originated.
