Penner is occasionally annoying but otherwise it's a decent time-passer.
16 October 2021
Wilbur (Joe Penner) is a bit of an idiot...and his wife (Lucille Ball) is quick to let folks know. This is especially the case after the guy is accused of robbing the bank where he works....and she insists he's just too stupid to have done it! However, the real crooks who did it are holding him prisoner in a trailer he just won...and the police have assumed that because he's missing, he must have stolen the money. Along the trail, the wife gets paired up with a silly gigolo and you know that eventually it all will get straightened out.

This is an okay film. It has some funny moments, but a few times Penner overacts and is a bit insufferable. Add to that an ending involving a runaway trailer (which is NOT done well) and you have a recipe for a film which is a time-passer and nothing more.
