Inhaltsangabe: In a comedy of errors, Hermie Jensen (Harry Morgan) has been a slave to his animal-loving woman day in and day out. Fifteen years of marriage to Myra (Barbara Baxley) and all he gets is a weekly ten-dollar allowance. Hermie would rather fish and drink beer all day like his next-door neighbor, but instead, he had to run errands for pet supplies. Since Hermie can't trade in her livestock or train Myra to drink beer, he decides to put the bit on her. Buying a poisonous coral snake, one that instead looks like a harmless king snake, Hermie comes home one day to give his wife an anniversary present. Returning home a few hours later, Hermie is surprised to find Myra alive and well, complaining that the snake is unfriendly. She hands him the reptile, and snake immediately bites him, whereupon Hermie falls over dead. But when the doctor shows up later...
