Only two reels of this Mack Sennett feature still exist, so it is very difficult to judge how good the complete feature would have been. The film has a Who's Who cast from the Mack Sennett Studio in 1920. It looks as if every comedian who was working for Sennett at the time appeared in the film. Marie Prevost and George O'Hara are a newly married couple who visit Judge Charlie Murray to obtain a divorce. The judge tells them some kind of story about husband Charlie Murray and wife Phyllis Haver -- it is hard to tell exactly what the story is because so much of the film is missing. The first reel consists of many married couples having illicit rendezvous at a cafe. Billy Bevan, Kalla Pascha and Eddie Gribbon play shady lawyers who apparently prowl the place looking for blackmail victims. Raymond Griffith has a short bit as a boyfriend who does not realize that his girlfriend is married.
In the latter reel, Sterling has crashed his car into Judge Murray's car. Apparently Sterling has done much to embarrass Murray, so Sterling is hauled into court in front of him. It looks like Sterling will be doing a long stretch of jail time, until lawyer Bevan produces an embarrassing photo of the judge. When Murray's wife finds out, general mayhem ensues, with several people dangling from high electrical power wires. Unfortunately, this is all of the film that exists. While the film probably was not a classic, it is a shame that most of it is lost.
