Chase's wife catches the eye of a talent agent, who dresses her up in extravagant clothes and gives her a small monkey to "be seen with", much to Chase's chagrin. They must keep the monkey out of sight of their hotel (apartment?) manager, which is hard to do once it gets loose and runs wild inside AND outside of the building.
I watched the scene of Chase out on the flagpole a few times, and while we all know the set was built to LOOK high up, there was still some air between that pole and the bottom of the frame, and it sure looks like Chase did his own stunts out there, though a double may have done the scene where he climbs the side of the building.
The quick bit of film where Charley claims to be having heart trouble is rather poignant, as he passed away from such an ailment in 1940.
A simple, fast moving short. I got a chuckle when Chase pretends to be a plumber, fixing a radiator with a hammer... shades of Jeremy Clarkson!
