- Episodic look at married life and in-law problems. Adventures include a ride on a crowded trolley with a live turkey, a wild spin in a new auto with the in-laws in tow, and a sequence in which Hubby accidentally chloroforms his mother-in-law and is convinced that he has killed her. When she begins sleep-walking, he thinks that she has returned to haunt him.

- In Highland Park, it's Agnes Fisher and Harold Hope's wedding day. Mishaps almost keep them from getting hitched: he goes to the wrong church, then, one of the guests, Professor McGlumm, convinces him that the bride only wants him to collect his life insurance. Finally they marry and her family moves in with them. Harold is now convinced that he'll be poisoned at dinner. When further mishaps give him stomach problems, McGlumm rushes him toward the hospital. On the trip, all is revealed and it takes a bride's kiss to set things right.

- Physical comedy drives this vehicle for then-famous clown Poodles Hanneford, part of a legendary British circus family. Already pushing forty but impeccably nimble, he plays suitor to beauteous, heavily daddy-guarded Betty (Betty Walsh) and the duo try their hardest to elope. This is an essentially plotless series of gags but they're good ones, well above the producing Weiss Brothers' average at the time. While "Poodles" never quite parlayed his big-top celebrity into screen stardom, he occasionally appeared in movies as late as circus-themed Hollywood spectacular BILLY ROSE'S JUMBO. He passed away five years later in the Catskills, no doubt surrounded by a diehard old-school showbiz community to the end. - Dennis Harvey

Baretta realizes that the drugs are destined for an old mobster and puts him under constant -- and obvious -- surveillance. It's so obvious that the mobster gets to know Baretta and even to create a semblance of friendship with him. By the end of Act Four, the mobster has served up his nephew (who was the driving force behind the robbery) to Baretta for arrest. Baretta is grateful, but in the tag he and the mobster sit on the mobster's front porch -- jointly waiting as the trucks roar up Interstate 5, getting ever closer to the mobster's imminent doom.
