Here's another of the short subjects that RKO turned out, based on the popular radio series, in which four resident smart guys and one guest expert -- here, Howard Lindsay, then well known for co-writing and starring in LIFE WITH FATHER on Broadway -- answer questions. For each question they miss, $25 in a savings bond is sent to the USO.
The format has the experts sitting at a long desk that makes them look like overage schoolboys being asked questions by teacher Clifford Fadiman. Their fumbling and hemming certainly makes the operation look real.
There are a lot more props and attempts to guess what some performers are seen doing than would appear in the radio version.
