The be-kilted, lady-killing Philip (Laurel), fresh off the boat from Scotland, draws (with his sartorial elegance) a huge crowd where ever he goes, much to the chagrin of his hugely embarrassed uncle (Hardy), who decides that the best solution to his familial problem is to commit the titular act – a task easier said than done, in this lacklustre and rather uninspired early Laurel and Hardy short.
