The film is presumed lost.
Plot[edit]
The film is somewhat propaganda for the Christie film company. A husband goes out to hunt ducks, but Wifey thinks he is chasing girls. (Chickens, walking on two feet). She trails him, and soon he and his friends get wet in the water. They find an old farmhouse with some farm girls, who let them wear their clothing. Wifey then causes more trouble until everything makes sense.[1]
According to the Motion Picture News of January to February 1920, the Christie comedies stave off slapstick and “chase” comedy.[2]
