Christmas card purveyors Stan and Ollie find themselves embroiled in a scheme orchestrated by a discontented wife, aimed at igniting jealousy in her passionless marriage.

However, their well-intentioned endeavor takes a perilous turn when the husband, a volatile artist, becomes excessively agitated, ultimately challenging Ollie to a midnight duel, fraught with mortal implications, in a fit of jealousy.

As tensions escalate, firearms are brandished, yet the wife intervenes, revealing the substitution of lethal ammunition with harmless blanks.
