- Trouble starts at the very beginning with Buster's characteristically masculine inability to cut the bread for sandwiches and otherwise help. Mary Jane does the work. Once started, Buster's baby brother tosses the contents of the luncheon basket to the trailing Tige so that there is no food when the picnic grounds are reached. Tige makes amends by stealing the luncheon of a neighboring party. Also having eaten the cream covering off a cake he creates a panic because all the picnickers think he is frothing at the mouth and suffering from the rabies. To add to the comfort (?) of the recreation-seekers a hornet's nest is dislodged and the hornets rout the entire picnic-camp crowd. For a finale a table cloth becomes a parachute and carries the youthful trio over a cliff-side into the ocean. All rescued, it becomes an entry in a Samuel Pepys diary "and so home to bed."
- This starts with an amateur theatrical given by Buster to his friends. A fat boy starts to muss things up by firing vegetables at the star performer, Tige. Then the fat boy takes Mary Jane to a fun palace, and Buster finds himself outside, unable to buy a ticket. Tige comes to his rescue by raiding a crap game and returning with a quarter for Buster's admission.
- Charley is trying to hold onto a job for a collection agency. He has arrived at his office late and is fired. Drawing on a very fertile imagination, he tells the boss a thrilling story, which we see on the screen, of how he had saved the boss' daughter from a band of Indians. That is why he was late. Great; the story goes over until the girl comes in to disclaim any knowledge of the whole episode. One more opportunity to hold the job is given Charley. He must collect a payment on a diamond ring or retrieve the ring. A strong man holds the bauble. Accompanied by the girl, this modern David goes forth to meet the 1926 Goliath. The first three rounds go to the title-holder but Kid David stages a comeback with the help of the girl. When Charley pretends to kidnap the girl, the giant shows undreamed-of chivalry and pursues the kidnapper. The chase leads to the office, where the ring which is in dispute is regained, to be used for an engagement ring.
- Lovey calls Dovey at his office and tells him over the telephone that something has happened to baby. Before she can explain what has happened the baby drops a plate and she drops the phone. Fearing disaster, Dovey rushes home to be told that baby has a new tooth. They decorate the house and invite the neighbors to celebrate the new tooth. The baby is missed and they fear he has been kidnapped. Rushing out, Lovey and Dovey get in their car and pursue a racing motorcycle that has something propped up in the sidecar that looks like a child. Snookums has crept into the car with his father and mother and is having a fine time unknown to them. The man in the motorcycle throws the "child" over the side of a bridge. Dovey dives into the rescue, bringing up a bottle of liquor swathed in napkins. Then Snookums is discovered sleeping in the back seat, and they camp on the road until midnight rather than wake him by starting the car.
- Charles is an impoverished shoe clerk who is an aspiring social climber. His first attempt is via horseback riding, and his sorry efforts with the prancing steeds are constantly riotous. Later, when the society belles visit the shoe store where Charlie is clerking, he furnishes a goodly portion of fun by pretending to be the owner of the establishment.
- The Newlyweds have new neighbors, a young couple with a little girl. She visits with Snookums and they proceed to run amok when the grown-ups leave them alone. They attack the family phonograph, smashing a pile of 78rpm records with a hand ax. Farm animals are let in, and they start their destructive work as well, especially done by a kick-happy donkey, who makes a credenza into a pile of kindling. When the adults return, they fall through holes in the floor, get pelted by eggs, and must wrestle the donkey out of the house. The two couples split into wives and husbands and both break out into fights. Snookums and his new girlfriend just sit back and laugh.
- Charlie's mother-in-law arrive for an uninvited visit and was is declared at once. It intensifies when the pet parrot tells Ma that Charlie has been saying bad things about her. A family picnic allows Charlie to win a bout or two.
- Wanda learns of an inheritance and the plan of the villain to marry her. She confides in her sweetheart who aids her by masquerading in her clothes and rescuing her when the villain seeks to take her away in a taxi.
- Tony, the beloved of Wanda, starts things off hilariously by providing his mother-in-law to be with the first thrill she has had in thirty years by taking her home in a motorcycle side-car. Narrow escapes galore and finally a wreck. Then the engagement party of her daughter. The villain, a bigamist for whom the police are looking, has ambitions of adding Jane to the collection of wives. He is in a fair way to do so until Tony discovers from a newspaper story that the chap who is wrecking the engagement party, his happiness and his face is the man wanted. He gets him by bringing in a bunch of kids who have been subsidized with a nickel bribe to claim the impostor as their father, Tony, with dress and veil, pretending to be one of the deserted wives.
- The first entry in the two-reel shorts series based on "The Newlyweds" (later changed to "Snookums") comic strip by George McManus. There is a neighborhood feud when Snookums throws empty cans into the neighbor's yard. This one features dancing eggs with the feet sticking out, a trained goose, and Snookums getting dizzy on a phonograph turntable.
