A jumble of quips and dialogue scenes features a strained argument over marriage and money, a dress reform joke, a railroad accident remark, a light out confession, a wedding day greeting, and quick one liners about husbands, wives, bankers, editors, and a goat with a butter-plea caption. The kooky exchange shows playful wits and social foibles in a tangy, era-tinged banter.
