The wife accompanies Lee to a blacksmith shop where Lee secures work. Lee has a hard time shoeing horses and a mule that persists in kicking Lee's head - one kick lands Lee on the cash register which rings up some money. Lee has to put up some money out of his pocket to make good. Queenie, the horse, comes in for shoeing. Lee tells her to get a pair of shoes for another little horse there. Queenie brings the blacksmith's shoes and mutilates them. The blacksmith becomes furious at Lee. Lee loses his job. On his way home, Lee buys a bottle of Nervo. He drinks some, goes into his home and orders the gossiping women there out and commands his wife to go out into the barn and get some wood. Just then the Nervo wears off; the wife asserts herself again and Lee jumps out the window onto Queenie and rides away. Written by Universal Weekly, August 19, 1922 See less
