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.

In 1939, Columbia had started a new series of two-reel comedies called The Glove Slingers that followed the adventures of aspiring boxer Terry Kelly, his uncle Pat Patrick, and trainer Chuck. The role of Terry was played by four different actors through the series' run and the shorts were mostly story-driven with the usual slapstick gags thrown in.

The first entry has Terry (played by a young Noah Beery Jr.) who has a fondness for boxing, something that his religious mother (Dorothy Vaughan) is strongly against. When Pat and Chuck arrive for a surprise visit, Terry is thrown into an upcoming match with his girlfriend's brother Charlie Benson (Cy Schindell). Though Mrs. Kelly does not approve fighting of any kind, she discovers that the local priest has two tickets to the match and she cannot pass that up.

This short is entertaining and features a lot of other Columbia contract players in small roles: Dick Curtis, Richard Fiske, Victor Travers, etc.

In the mid-1980s, Richard Pryor's longtime drug addiction began to affect his physical appearance, he began to look sickly and pretty frail on screen. Despite the fact, this was Pryor's last starring role in a feature film. This comedy has quite a few laughs.

Arlo Pear is a mild-mannered engineer from New Jersey who is given a new job position in Boise, Idaho. His family is not happy with the idea, but have no choice but to go with it. Unfortunately, things fall apart quickly: their teenage daughter tries to sabotage every open house that happens, the three movers hired to transport the belongings to the new house actually steal them, and Arlo hires a young man with multiple split personality disorder to drive his priceless Saab to the house.

The cameos in the film are worthwhile, as well. Randy Quaid as crazed army veteran neighbor Frank. Dave Thomas as Arlo's friendly boss, Rodney Dangerfield as a loan officer with a serious gambling problem, Morris Day as a young man smitten with Arlo's daughter, and Dana Carvey as the multiple personality maniac.

Definitely worth watching.
