Ollie extends a cordial invitation to Stan for dinner, tempting him with promises of a sumptuous feast comprising steak, mushroom sauce, strawberries, whipped cream, coffee, and a cigar.

However, tensions escalate when Oliver announces his intent to depart for South America, culminating in a heated exchange between husband and wife.

However, his intentions to similarly chastise Stan are interrupted by his wife's intervention, wielding a formidable vase to administer her own form of justice.

Meanwhile, Stan, seemingly unfazed, departs nonchalantly, only to meet an ignominious fate as he inadvertently tumbles down a flight of stairs, leaving Ollie to wince in sympathetic discomfort.

In addition, the gag of the spaghetti ending on Ollie's lap was originally conceived for their 1928 silent film Habeas Corpus, but was left unfilmed.
