Desk Sergeant: It's a good idea too, havin' a boy like that as chief. Teachs'em discipline and how to be a good, law-abiding citizen. Not that I ain't saying adults don't need disciplinin'. Take you, for instance. If you'd a been the chief when you was a kid, you wouldn't go around breakin' the law.
Edgar Kennedy: Oh I wouldn't, would I? Say, how do you know I was breaking the law?
Desk Sergeant: People don't come in here to pick no flowers.

A case where the actor was much better than the material they gave him.

During the 1930s and 40s, Edgar Kennedy made a bunch of domestic comedies for RKO Studio. Most of them find Edgar saddled with hellishly awful in-laws! In this case, instead of the usual mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Edgar's stuck with a father-in-law who, as usual, meddles in Edgar's life.

The plot to "Mutiny in the County" is incredibly contrived and impossible to take seriously. The story begins with Edgar putting up with a lot of crap from not only his father-in-law but the neighbor kids who hit him twice with baseballs. The police cite him after he throws away the kids' ball...as it hits the police car. Later, when he comes to the municipal building, he finds the police chief, judge, public defender and mayor to be children. It seems that the city let the kids run things for a day...which really makes no sense whatsoever. Does the film get any better than this?! Well, during the trial, the two cops beat up Edgar...and no one seems to object!!

Overall, this is a frustrating film. It seems that the only joke is to do horrible things to Edgar....even if none of it is very funny. And, it's frustrating because Edgar Kennedy COULD be very funny...just not here.
