The farcical sketch is about a young doctor, married a month, who has a youthful brother living with him who takes himself seriously. The doctor and his bride are very mushy. He discovers a note advising him that the poison enclosed is sure to kill and as "he is an old duffer and could readily be replaced," believes his wife intends to get rid of him. In reality, the poison is designed for the dog.
The audience found the humor in the sketch.
All three in the company indulge in rough horseplay. While there is nothing new in the act, it is well played.
