Ollie brings Stan home for dinner, a very unwelcome surprise for Mrs. Hardy (Mae Busch) who storms out in a huff. Mrs. Kennedy (Thelma Todd), a neighbor from across the hall, offers to help the boys cook dinner; they, in turn, help to set her dress on fire. Mr. Kennedy (Edgar Kennedy), a cop, returns home and the boys hide the slip-clad Mrs. K. in a trunk. Unaware that his wife is within earshot, Mr. Kennedy starts bragging to the boys about his extramarital liaisons. His furious wife then confronts him about it before attacking him with many of their ornaments. Next door, Stan, Ollie and Mrs Hardy continue eating while ignoring the crashing, banging and shouting coming from the Kennedys apartment. Mr Kennedy shows up, battered, bruised and in a terrible state. He brings Ollie out and beats him up. He then prepares to do the same to Stan, but his wife has evidently not finished with him yet, as she comes out of their apartment wielding a gigantic green vase and, despite Mr. Kennedy's efforts to protect himself, crashes it over his head and puts him out for the count. Stan then leaves as though nothing has happened, but falls down the stairs as Ollie watches and flinches with every thump and loud crash as he reaches the bottom.
