...said, in part: i) ''By agreement between the Governments of France and Canada and the Governments of Japan and Canada, it is proposed that each of these countries shall be represented in the other by a Minister pleni-potentiary." 2) "To assist in the development of transoceanic air routes, a site for an airship base has been purchased near Montreal. An airship mooring tower will be erected, and a public air terminal for airplanes provided." 3) "Among other important matters to which your attention will be invited will be measures providing for more favorable trade relations between Canada...

...Beery and Raymond Hatton cavort foolishly together, this time in a small Alpine village. Its inhabitants, with the exception of one beautiful girl, find their presence highly disagreeable. Wallace Beery becomes an Alpine guide, a profession in which his efforts are ludicrously insufficient. As Now We're in the Air at one point descended to extraordinarily vulgar farce, so Wife Savers allows its plot to depend upon a somewhat ribald interpretation of a note, written by the heroine, in which she informs the hero that he will have to marry her because she is in trouble. Wallace Beery also confesses...
