Just Neighbors
About Just Neighbors
Harold and Snub live next door, with adjoining yards. Harold offers to help Snub build a chicken coop. They wreck the garden and the laundry on the line, then fight through the fence. The fight stops when Snub's toddler wanders into the street and is pulled out of the traffic. The two men are neighbors again.
