Featuring Shemp Howard (Solo)
Vitaphone
21.8 min. (Short Subject)

Johnny (Shemp Howard) is promised the chief process server's job if he can serve a summons on Musclebound Pete, a local hood. Like the servers before him, he's not only unsuccessful, but beat up for his efforts. Pete's only weakness is women, so Johnny switches clothes with girlfriend Helen, and goes after Pete in drag.

Shemp's contract shows that he was paid $750 for this short subject.
