Released November 07, 1946
Featuring Joe DeRita (Solo)
Columbia
16.8 min. (Short Subject)

Life's patsy Joe Bates (Joe DeRita) manages to destroy his kitchen before heading to work at his dress shop. Accidentally accosting a customer (Dorothy Granger), he runs afoul of her jealous fiancee (Dick Wessel). Assuming that Joe is a womanizer, Mrs. Bates (Christine McIntyre) leaves him and moves into the women-only Hotel Amazon. Hoping to win his wife back, Joe registers at the hotel in drag. But the woman from his dress shop also lives there, and Bates finds himself on the run from the boyfriend and a brutish hotel matron named Violet.

 

A remake of Andy Clyde's Columbia short A MAID MADE MAD (1943).

Emil Sitka filmed a brief scene as Mrs. Bates' lawyer, but it was not included in the released cut of the short.
