action
Stan is quite suppressed by his wife, but doesn't want her to spoil a nice evening with Ollie. He forges a "secret" plan with Ollie over the phone, but his wife overhears. This is angry and as a punishment replaces the liqueur Stan wants to take with him with peppered soapy water. In the café, the two of them are having a great time, laughing, crying and not even noticing that the soapy water has replaced the liqueur. It's not until you see Mrs. Laurel that the fun ends. Because she has a rifle with her and shoots after the two in anger, so that the car in which Stan and Ollie want to escape falls apart.
