==Plot summary=
Laurel & Hardy are members of a fraternity organisation, that is due to hold their annual convention in Chicago. After taking an oath to attend, Oliver finds his wife will not let him go, so he feigns illness, for which a veterinarian prescibes a trip to Honolulu. The boys go to the convention, with their wives thinking they are in Honolulu. On the way back, the return boat from Honolulu sinks in a typhoon, and Stan & Ollie have to explain how they got back a day early. However, the wives already know that they were deceived by their husbands and playing along only to test the character of their spouses. (One notable line has Stan misquoting his wife Betty as having said "Honesty was the best politics!")
