Summary
In The Daffy Dill, Neal is a man whose mental bandwidth is so perpetually overloaded that he exists in a state of chronic, comedic fugue. This isn't just a case of misplaced keys; Neal manages to attend his own wedding as a casual observer, blissfully unaware that he is the central protagonist of the ceremony. After his bride, Edna, physically identifies him and drags him through the vows, the cycle of amnesia continues. While Edna prepares for their shared future, Neal retreats into a past objective, calling his new wife to propose to her because he forgot he already did. The film culminates in a domestic collision where social patience expires and a shotgun-wielding mother-in-law becomes the final arbiter of Neal's wandering focus.
Synopsis
Neal is so forgetful that he forgets it is his wedding day, and he is in the church as a spectator. Edna, his bride-to-be, spots him and they are married. The bride returns to her home to pack for the honeymoon trip, but Neal, the simpleton of the title, forgets to do so. He does recall that he had meant to propose to Edna, so he calls her up and does so. Later, his new mother-in-law, has had enough and meets him at the door with a shotgun.
