Another error in the plot summary?
editThe plot summary states: "Harry realizes that he is being tailed by a divorce lawyer hired by his wife. Depressed, Harry meets with Linda ..." Surely the private eye whom Harry spots, chases and wrestles to the ground, thought he was tailing Osbourne Cox, but Harry had moved into Osbourne's house, and he was tailing Harry by mistake! Harry's wife was not suing for divorce; Katie Cox was! That mix-up is one of the many mix-up jokes. Arrivisto (talk) 12:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Brilliant observation! Too tired to edit it in tonight IM Serious (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- On second thought, i think Harry was the proper target because the detective had been spying long enough to know who he was after and Harry's wife had her secret affair who she might have been trying to legitimize: IM Serious (talk) 09:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
