Mr. Newlywed was a pleasant sight for sore eyes. He was hurrying home to his own wifie. Ye Gods. what a strange sight. He was in such a hurry that Motor Mike, the Cop could not keep up with him. The cause of all this rush was the prettiest, dimpliest little wifie you have ever seen, and she had the cutest dog, who did all kinds of tricks. The, only thing that marred their happiness was the fact that their Landlord was their next door neighbor. Mrs. Landlord was a domineering factor in the whole house. Her poor husband and cat had to shimmy the way she jazzed. The Newlyweds' dog and the Landlords' cat were friendly enemies. The dog chases the cat into Mrs. Newlywed's apartment, and the poor cat seeks shelter under her bed. Mr. Landlord was very fond of his cat and therefore followed the cat under the bed. Just then, Mr. Newlywed rushed into his house to escape the Cop. Mrs. Newlywed does some antics in trying to hide the Landlord under the bed. Her husband thinks she has gone crazy and tells her to help him hold the door shut so that the Cop won't get in. She gets up, and lo and behold there is Mr. Landlord as big as life.
