Word comes that the bride's mother will pay them a visit. They go to the station in their motorcycle which has a sidecar attached. A flock of bags and porters are tossed out of the train. Then comes the wife's mother, a great big bologni who tells her son-in-law that she doesn't like his name or his face. She piles her bags in the sidecar and sits on the top. Wifie sits behind her husband. Hubby drives alongside a truck. A dog sticks its face out and licks mommer-in-law. Then she raises a hullabaloo. When they arrive at his home, she has the poor lad carry all her grips at one time. It nearly breaks his back. An osteopathic treatment almost ends his existence. The parrot calls the newcomer names and she retaliates by making hubby serve tea when her old lady friends call. Booze in the tea makes them tipsy. Young jazzy friends call and are thrown out on their ears. Hubby finally scoops up the unwelcome visitor in his motorcycle, runs her ragged, until she agrees to leave town. Then he dumps her off at the station. She starts to protest, and he bumps her along, to the very steps of the train, giving her the merry ha, ha when the train pulls out. Written by
