Overview

Alice, a waitress working in a restaurant managed by a flirtatious and diminutive proprietor (Barney Hellum). The proprietor’s wife is a formidable, "lion-taming" woman who is intensely jealous. When the proprietor lures Alice into an "imprudent date" at the Lonesome Inn under the guise of offering her a promotion his suspicious wife and Eddie (Eddie Quillan), a busboy who is Alice's actual boyfriend, track them down. A chaotic confrontation ensues, leading to a "race for life" as the husband attempts to escape his wife’s wrath. The film concludes with Alice and Eddie successfully escaping together, while the husband and wife are seen in silhouette engaged in a physical brawl.
