He can't understand why the elevators won't stop for him or why the women all scream when they see him. His wife finally rescues him and makes him put on his pants. This time he forgets his underwear. She calls his attention to the error and he puts his B. V. D's. on over his pants. Leaving the house with a string around each finger, his wife tells him not to forget whose birthday it is. But he forgets who was born on that day and buys a present for each of his wife's relatives to make sure. Among the presents he totes home are a lawn mower and a pet duck. The duck gets away from him and he chases it under a park bench. It bites a woman's calf and he is attacked as a bold flirt. He arrives home late at the birthday party where all the relatives are assembled, dragging all the presents after him. It turns out to be his own birthday.
