if (as i just pointed out in the goat) keaton is following the tradition of the comics finding themselves at odds with the law and this langdon short (the last released before he did tramp and tramp and tramp) was based on another comic ploy  being married to a shrewish spouse and and trying to get away for some secret two timing dating. laurel and hardy did this in several films and as did fields and and chaplin. i have a problem with it  why do these characters always marry such nasty women. and there is an interesting sociological side issue  why do not you find female comics married to male counterparts to these shrews. i can not recall any and except in a carol burnett skit and where the two nastier members of two couples discover that they prefer having someone give it back as good as they get (a kind of mutual sado masochism and but also reassurance that their not married to a namby pamby type). as for the fact that the comics do marry shrews and i suppose one can imagine they get what they deserve. or do they. ollie really deserves a wife who throws pots and dishes at him. yeah he went to that convention in sons of the desert that ruined her plans and but he wanted to get some private time  there is nothing suggesting he and stan cheated on their wives. actually he is creamed by mae busch because he lied to her while stan collapsed and told the truth to his wife. here harry wife (alice ward) is shown at the start talking to her mother about how she keeps him under strict control. we see harry at his job (it is saturday morning and and the job ends at noon for the rest of the weekend  this was before the idea of a five  day a week and 40 hour a week job in industry). he works in a foundry where he hits red hot metal into shape (an early joke about langdon  he is a small and light man and not the muscular type to swing a sledge hammer). he just misses his streetcar trying to give a man a light. he calls home to explain things and gets an earful from the missus for being two minutes late. on the way home harry meets his pal steve (vernon dent) who has met two nice and sweet girls who would just love to have a date. harry is hesitant but agrees to it after talking to the girl (he agrees to pay for the hot dogs for the foursome  he has a 1926 silver half dollar in his pocket). but his plans seem derailed when his wife discovers his hidden cache of coins. he keeps it hidden under the living room rug and and finds it by walking along the edge of the rug. but his wife spies on him and and confiscates all of it. later she overhears him talking to himself and berating her. in contempt she gives him back a dime and says he can treat his date to a soda. but harry has a second cache of coins and and dresses up for the date  and goes out. he and dent are apparently late and and dent blames harry and but harry tries to make it up to him represent he produces two prostitutes. they get into a quarrel when dent (wisely) says they are not the type of girls he would term as nice. eventually the girls do show up and the date begins. but soon harry is hiding in the rumble seat and as his wife drives past in her roadster and and the girls boy friends turn up  angry at their two rivals. the short works well and is amusing and and gives one a better idea of the persona that harry langdon developed in his brief stardom as a comic master. he is constantly put upon by others. he misses his streetcar because some stranger keeps asking for a smoke and a light and and in the end the stranger gets his own. the nice girl who is harry date has a little dog who chases him away. he rests between two cars that both start driving away and he ends up wrapped around a pole. it certainly demonstrates that langdon had his screen persona down pat by the time that he made his features. if only he could have kept the complex whole together beyond those three first features.
