When his wife’s friends leave their coats on him during a nap, the resulting chaos—sparked by a hobo, a jail cell, and a cab ride to nowhere—unravels into a comedic chain reaction he never saw coming. Written by Hal George and illustrated by Al Zere, with a delightfully chaotic cover by E. C. Stoner and Larry Page, this Fox comic is a quirky, fast-paced slice of mid-century humor.

Cuthbert is told to "take a rest" by his doctor, and milks this for all it's worth. While he's asleep, his wife's friends come to visit and pile their coats on top of him. Cuthbert tosses them out the window and they're taken by a hobo. This compels Cuthbert to rush out into the street in his pajamas, causes him to wind up in jail, incurs a hefty fee for cabs to drive the coat-less ladies home, and then he's required to return all of the garments to their owners.
