A manual, addressed to all males who do not wish to be encumbered by wedding rings and promises, examines the pitfalls, the nets and traps with which the bachelor is surrounded, and displays the artful dodges that will free him from the ""itch to hitch"". The opposition line-up consists of women, types and wiles; pressures and possible persuasions; feminine propaganda and the vigilance and training to avoid it; the dangers of matrimony and the beauties of the single state; awkward situations and ways and means of shunning -- or running; etc., etc. Exhaustive in its research, this subversive program is, on the whole, only part-time humorous and is leeringly illustrated by Dennis Mallet.
