Jimmy is a reformer and in court saves his neighbor, Tyler, accused of flirting, from jail by promising to act as his conservator-of-morals for a month. They have not been out of the courtroom five minutes before they are both tangled up with a lady in distress whom they try to help across a puddle-filled street. Tabloid photographers photograph the reformer in the most compromising positions and situations. Given that premise write your own comedy after the wife has seen the pictures reproduced in the paper. Before the end is reached the police court judge, his wife, and seemingly every man's wife or every woman's husband is mixed up in the plot.

Did you know

โ€ข Lyle Tayo and Tiny Sanford appeared in this short only in the script, not in the final short.

โ€ข CORRECTION TO MY RECENT SUBMISSION - Lyle Tayo plays a woman Finlayson and Brooke meet on the street. Tiny Sandford plays Kay Deslys' husband.

โ€ข Previous note may refer to One Reel version. I have a 16mm print of the full two-reeler and both Lyle Tayo and Tiny Sandford DO appear. Tayo is a woman who takes in the distressed Finlayson and Brooke. Sandford plays her bull of a husband.
