They each extend an invitation to come out and take dinner with them some time, much to Nervy Ned's delight. He fasts for three days before taking advantage of any of the invites. All set for a big home-cooked feed he starts out for the home of friend number one. He is welcomed by the alleged man of the house and told to make himself at home with the children until dinner is ready. The kids maul him to distraction and on top of that friend number one comes in with the sad news that dinner has been postponed until the next day. The truth is, his wife had told him to give his friend the air. Friend number two proves to be equally henpecked and number three is just going out to dine at a restaurant. Poor Ned. No food for three days and all his invitations to dinner worthless. He rushes to the nearest "hot-dog" stand and gets himself an armful of them. Written by
