Comment
A man (Harry Langdon) who runs a department store is seen by a friend of his wife's (Betty Blythe) moving a store mannequin in his car. She tells his wife that he is having an affair and she then enlists a solicitor to file for divorce. Things rapidly escalate into confrontation, but one of her friends (Grace Norman) is involved in a scam with her solicitor. Harry Langdon is particularly good in the scenes when he is dealing with and having conversations with the mannequin. Luana Walters is good as the love interest in the sub plot, though Betty Blythe is not really convincing as the aggrieved wife. Whilst not great is it entertaining.
