Storyline

Biff Jones is a driver/salesman for the Good Humor ice-cream company. He hopes to marry his girl Margie, who works as a secretary for Stuart Nagel, an insurance investigator. Margie won't marry Biff, though, because she is the sole support of her kid brother, Johnny. Biff gets involved with Bonnie, a young woman he tries to rescue from gangsters. But Biff's attempts to help her only get him accused of murder. When the police refuse to believe his story, it's up to Biff and Johnny to prove Biff's innocence and solve the crime.—Jim Beaver

Short Review

Although this type of film is not my forte, it will appeal to lovers of slapstick comedy, and it is very well done for the genre . One sight gag after another adds to the Three Stooges-type comedic quality of this film and the sequences fit together impressively.We must give credit where credit is due. This film is a marvelous example of slapstick comedy, and would appeal to young people of today if it was in color and reprocessed so that it was technologically modern. After all the effort put into films from this era, it's a shame no one thinks to make them technologically on par with modern day fare.All in all, this one's a winner.
