Eddie Lyons and Dorothy Devore have hired "The Careful Decorator" to paper their walls. What they get is Lee Moran in this funny Universal short comedy.

Lyons and Moran had a very successful career as a comic duo in this period and this one, with all the tropes about sloppy wall paperers and annoying mothers-in-law are present, with the two horrors blithely unaware (or perhaps uncaring) of the carnage they wreak.

Lyons and Moran would go their ways in a few years; the strain of working so closely wore out a lot of creative groupings. Lyons would die in the middle of the next decade. Moran would work through the middle of the 1930s and live into the 1960s.
