    I Don't Recall Seeing 'Hotcha' In A Greeting Card Recently

    Laurel and Hardy are selling greeting cards door to door. When they enter Mae Busch's flat, they find her in tears. She feels her husband, Charles Middleton, is neglecting her. She offers to pay Ollie $50 to make love to her to make Middleton jealous and reawaken his feelings. The plan is successful. Middleton feels it necessary to challenge Hardy to a duel.

    It's a very late short for the Boys, filled with nonsense and sight gags, and Arthur Housman doing his drunk act. It's also the last short that longtime Roach stalwart, Noah Young would appear in with Stan and Ollie.
