If you can get a chance to see this obscure comedy short from Columbia Pictures, and are a fan of slapstick comedy, you should be pleased. However if you are looking to view this film for "3rd Stooge" Shemp Howard's performance, I have some bad news for you...he's not in the film. Although many sources, including this website, list Shemp as "Andy Clyde's Brother-In-Law", he is just nowhere to be seen. A disappointment indeed, as Shemp's performance and ad-libbing livens up some of the other Andy Clyde two-reelers he's co-starred in ("Boobs In The Woods" and "Money Squawks" to name a few). Still, there are some pretty clever sight gags and a fine supporting cast, including a fun role from Vernon Dent as Clyde's neighbor. If you are a fan of Columbia's brand of slapstick comedy, try to track down a copy of this little film.
