A collage of dated humor and quick gags features playful exchanges about strong ox strength, mistaken identities, driving mishaps, wedding jokes, and one liners. Notable bits involve a violinist seeking strings, a shop clerk learning the difference between hens and roosters, and a toying with marriage and furniture plans.
