Grady Sutton is being tried for shooting Walter Catlett in the behind. As the case progresses, the facts emerge that Sutton and Nora Cecil were on their honeymoon when Catlett, Miss Cecil's first husband, moved in.

It's a funny late Mack Sennett comedy. Director George Marshall moves this one along at a good clip in a pre-Code bit of a story that Catlett, in his annoying moder, had starred in before. Billy Bletcher plays the judge, showing off his fine bass voice.

This short from Paramount begins in a courtroom. It seems that someone shot Walter (Walter Catlett) in the butt and the court case concerns this shooting. When Elmer (Grady Sutton) testifies, a long flashback sequence follows. It seems that Elmer had just married a woman and soon after, Walter insinuates himself into their home. Elmer soon realizes his wife is Walter's ex-wife! And, Walter is spending WAY too much time and attention on the lady...to the point where you can understand EXACTLY why Walter got shot! What's next? See the film.

I generally don't love these films produced by Mack Sennett for Paramount. However, here the story is good and the gags work well...making it a pleasant 20 minutes of viewing.
