 Carol Hughes has the role of Oi- wins weepy wife.
 His boss Carver-played by Guy Kibbe, with bald and bland pom posity-has one day ordered Oiwin to do not less than fifty Mothers Day greeting verses - before the noon whistle blows. To add to his distress, his wife, Audrey, has up- braided him for his stupidity-and in desperation he hotfoots it to the gin mill of which Ed Kennedy is barkeep and bouncer-to drown his troubles in drink.
 There fate overtakes him.

and increase his speed.
