Jane does not let him get in a word; her tongue is a cyclone, and he is bewildered. Old Bud Fischer wants to get hold of the 'phone, but is told that it is busy. Fischer pushes and tries to give Murray the hint to ring off. Finally he grabs the receiver and tries to talk to his party, but Jane does not let up her tirade, still believing that Clarence is on the other end. Fischer, who thinks that he has his call, is almost driven crazy by the talk that comes back to him. Presently he asks Murray who is on the wire and is told that it is his wife. The old man knows he stands no chance against the woman's "lingo"; he throws down the receive and walks out. Murray returns to the attack, finally feels worn out, shouts "goodbye" and staggers out. and, throwing the receiver down, walks out. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
