Just about every one of these episodes has Ralph go into one of his rages. Obviously, he would never hit Alice, but he does threaten her all the time. In this one, a telegram arrives, announcing the arrival of Alice's mother (at least it seems that way). Ralph goes ballistic to the point where Alice sends him upstairs to stay with the Norton's. Ed and Trixie end up at odds and Ralph must fact time with a woman he despises. Of course, there is an interesting twist at the end. It's an average episode. One of the bits I love is when Ralph has embarrassed himself and mouths words behind Alice's back. His facial expressions are great.
