Shopping with Wifie

Andy Clyde and his buddy are planning on getting an early start fishing. However, when Andy's adoring wife gets involved, though she says she wants him to go, she sure prevents him from going fishing. First, she makes the two friends a quick breakfast...and an hour later they STILL are at the house and not on the way. Second, when his boots turn out to be worthless, she insists they quickly run to the local store to buy a new pair...and they end up spending much of the day there thanks to a dopey and overzealous store detective (played by Fred Kelsey who ALWAYS seemed to play dopey cops and the like). Will the friends ever get to fish?

This is a mildly enjoyable short...not too many laughs but not bad despite this.

Andy Clyde is supposed to go trout fishing with Arthur Stone. First, though, Andy's loving wife Dorothy Granger insists on feeding him a good breakfast. Then his boots need replacing, so it's off to the store, while Stone waits around as other fishermen return with their catches and he has to beat rugs for his wife.

It's Andy doing what he does best, pulling humor out of small, everyday annoyances that grow in effect, even if it's Stone being annoyed, as well as the lady customers at the department store who discover Andy walking around without pants.

With Fred Kelsey as a store detective. A dumb one, of course!
