Overview

Comedy

Simon Haldane works in the office of the Faulkner Iron Works, but he has been raised by his two maiden aunts in an extremely sheltered manner and is basically afraid of everyone and everything. One morning he finds a strange girl shivering in his bedroom, and although he's terrified of her, he manages to call a doctor for her. This starts a rumor that Simon is married. Complications ensue.

Trivia

Only about 40 minutes survive; the final reel is considered lost, so modern prints patch the ending with title cards summarising missing action.

Cultural

William Beaudine directed this during his respected silent period before his infamous 'one-shot' B-movie decline—this is pre-exile Beaudine, still trying.
