Marjorie Beebe is supposed to marry Kenneth Thomson, but first she has to get a fright-wig hairdo, then ride in a side poorly connected to a motorcycle to a different church. Then she meets Vernon Dent and things really go wrong.

Miss Beebe mugs magnificently for director Earle Rodney in this very funny Mack Sennett short comedy, with a cast that includes Flora Finch, who was the comic bane of John Bunny twenty years earlier. Although she would have her last credited role in 1934, she would continue to appear in movies through 1939, dying the following year at the age of 70.

As for Miss Beebe, I have never seen her in a comedy in which she performed better. A good comic performer needs to look very silly, and she certainly does that here!
