Intrigue

When Mrs. Hardy refuses to cook supper, Mr. Hardy decides to cook it for himself and Mr. Laurel, but things go wrong during a jealous mix-up with the next-door married couple.

Oliver invites his friend Stanley over for a nice home-cooked meal, but Mrs. Hardy wants nothing to do with it and walks out. Mrs. Kennedy, Oliver's beautiful neighbor from across the hall, volunteers to help out, but the boys' bumbling soon has her dress on fire. Her police-officer husband investigates the ruckus just as Oliver gets the now-partially-unclad Mrs. Kennedy hidden in a trunk. Kennedy's boasting of how he handles his own womanizing backfires when his wife pops out of the trunk and blackens his eye. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hardy has returned and wonders what all the noise is coming from next door.—Paul Penna <tterrace@wco.com>
