Cold Turkey

When Harry Langdon wins a turkey in the office Christmas party raffle, he has to get it home to wife Ann Doran without strangling Bud Jamison. When she discovers it's a live turkey, she orders Harry to kill it with an axe; landlord Monte Collins thinks he's the one to have his head chopped off.

Del Lord may not have been the ideal director for Langdon, but he was certainly open to Langdon's style of comedy, just as he had been to Charley Chase's. There are a couple of Langdon gag sequences here, with nice little touches, like his pixilated reaction to a drink at the party or when he's trying to persuade the turkey to climb into the icebox.
