It's written and directed by Al Boasberg. Starting with a Broadway success that was film by Keaton as BATTLING BUTLER. Boasberg became a gag writer and eventually directed a few of the shorts he had written. While his nonsensical dialogue and physical gags were good, he couldn't get much of a performance out of the lesser actors here. He had just signed a contract to write for Jack Benny when he had a heart attacked and died at the age of 46.
