- Plot: Oliver's house is in a shambles after a wild party, and his wife is due home at noon. He calls Stanley to help him fix the place up. The typical catastrophes ensue, but Stanley somehow manages to complete the job by the time Oliver leaves to pick up his wife at the train station. As a finishing touch, Stan decides to start a nice fire in the fireplace, using a can of gasoline to hurry the process along.
