The boys get in deep trouble with their wives in "Sons of the Desert." They have their hearts set on going to the Sons annual convention in Chicago, but Lottie Hardy says Oliver is going to the mountains with her. So, he feigns sickness and Stan gets a veterinarian as an M.D. to diagnose his need for a trip to Honolulu. Lottie gets sea sick so Stan has to go with Olie.
When they return home after a week's carousing in the Windy City, they find the wives gone and the newspaper on the table that announces the sinking of the Honolulu ship on its return. The survivors are due in the next day. But before they can leave the house, the girls return. The guys head for the attic to hide out until the next day. The girls go to a movie to calm their nerves and see a newsreel of the Sons of the Desert convention in Chicago. And, of course, the husbands are hogging the newsreel camera.
It's hilarity from that point on when the girls return home and the guys are found out before the rescue ship returns. As Stan says, wife Betty tells him that "Honesty in the best politics." Here are a couple more favorite lines.
Oliver, "Why did you get a veterinarian?" Stan, "Well, I didn't think his religion would make any difference."
Stan, "We're just like two peas in a pot." Oliver, "Not pot - pod-uh, pod-uh."
