    This is a short comedy that gets decent mileage out of one basic gag. Hen-pecked husband Leon meets a man who looks exactly like him, and he thinks he has found a solution to all his problems. He pays the double to keep his wife and mother-in-law company, while Leon himself goes out to play cards with his friends. Naturally, things do not work out as planned, and it leads to some fairly funny moments. It's all very predictable, but the scenes where the doubles run into each other are done rather well, and the overall effect is pretty amusing.
