Ray Hughes and Dorothy Gulliver are glad the old neighbors are gone. They were always borrowing things and never returning them. Along come the new neighbors, Harry Gribbon and Vivien Oaklan. They borrow money to pay the movers, use their telephone, draw on their wall, and then knock a hole through to their apartment. After that, they become annoying.
What this early sound comedy lacks in obviousness, it makes up in Gribbon being obnoxious. This sort of comedy doesn't appeal to me, but there is little arguing with those it does. Its structure with rising annoyances is fairly classic, and if there ever was an annoying comic, it was Gribbon.
