Andy Clyde thinks it's unlucky for him because it's Friday the 13th. In truth, what's unlucky for him is he keeps running into Barbara Pepper, who's engaged to a jealous Vernon Dent.
It's always fun to watch Andy in work, contrasting his slow reactions to the high-speed chaos. There is also a thrill comedy bit as he clings to a telephone, and the appearance of a Murphy bed, one of my favorite comedy props. In truth, though, it all has a random air to it, gag sequences out of the Columbia Shorts playbook chosen at random with just enough detail to make them sort of fit together. With Blanche Payson as a hotel detective at a ladies-only hotel.
