Billie Reeves is ot only convinced that other men are making advances towards wife. Carrie Reynolds, ut that she is too extravagant with money. So the next day, when Miss Reynolds if looking for cash to pay for her new hat, he discovers delivery boy. Arthur Matthews pipe.
Billie Reeves was intended as Lubin's response to the Chaplin craze. Like chaplin, Billie had served his time in Fred Karno's pantomime company. Unlike far too many of the slapstick comics who entered the movies about this time, he did not do a Chaplin imitation, nor claim Chaplin was imitating him. Here he offers himself as an ordinary looking fellow able to take some hard knocks.
Unfortunately this movie has not aged well, with its intimations of wife-beating, even if we know, as in all good comedies, there will come a day of reckoning.
