Standard, but funny thanks to Shemp

Shemp Howard was already a veteran of the Columbia Shorts Department by 1944. In this short, he is teamed with Swedish dialect comic El Brendel, who had his own series of shorts at the studio since 1936. By this time, Brendel was teamed with Harry Langdon in a series of shorts until the comedian's death in October 1944 from a cerebral hemmorage. Brendel's contract with the studio was subsequently terminated, as a result.

The standard plot as Shemp and El as vagrants who are given 48 hours to come up with $100 for wrecking a policeman's motorcycle. They get job as assistant plumbers, despite having no knowledge. They then go to a mansion where they proceed to wreak havoc trying to find a missing ring.

Shemp would soon after highlight his own series of two-reelers for the studio, but this short is decent thanks to his performance.
