About Mabel and Fatty’s Married Life
Fatty goes out on business and leaves Mabel alone. Noises in the house convince her a burglar is inside, and she telephones the Keystone Cops. The intruder is a monkey that belongs to an organ grinder. Fatty gets home, and the two of them laugh once the cops have finished.
