Leon come home from an Atlantic City convention, having gotten blackout drunk. There he is confronted with Ann Sumners, the new Mrs. Errol. She is the bride of Leon's son, who is home on a three-day leave, but Leon thinks he married her during his drunk and he is now a bigamist.
Leon seems to have gotten himself convinced he was a bigamist in several episodes of his long-running series of shorts for RKO. Perhaps this is because so many different actresses played his wife in different movies, but I think not. It just amused people, including, I imagine, the writers, to think that this skinny balding shrimp of a man could imagine himself that much of a lady killer. In truth, he was married to one woman from 1906 through her death in 1946. Of his record with other women during that period, the record says nothing.
