Wally Brown and wife are so unpleasant to each other when they visit with Jack Haley and Anne Jeffreys that the latter couple decide to behave the same way when they return the visit as an example of comedy plotting. They are so abusive that Miss Jeffreys goes home to mother, while Haley prepares to go on vacation to Reno to hunt for treasure with his new metal detector. First, though, he is the unwitting witness of a bank robbery. When he gets there, the robbers have preceded him, and buried the loot, which he promptly discovers, and they try to get him to shut up as a witness by having Iris Adrian claim to be his wife, while his luggage gets mixed up with Myrna Dell's, who has a jealous, pugnacious husband in Matt McHugh.
If it sounds like three or four shorts colliding, that's because where writer Charles Roberts spent most of his time at RKO, and director Leslie Goodwins was no stranger to the department. The individual set pieces are very well run by the practiced farceurs and that kept me smiling. While I was annoyed by Haley playing his nebbishy comedy character yet one more time, Miss Jeffreys is a delight at less than half his age.
