Widowed father Thomas E. Sherridan is delighted that his eldest son Ken is coming home for a visit. At a family gathering, Ken and his siblings learn from their straight-shooting Aunt Millie that their reckIess spending has driven their father to the edge of financial ruin and he stands to lose the Sherridan homestead to creditors. Thoroughly ashamed, they resort to desperate measures in an attempt to help - with daughter CarroIl even offering to marry her unethical boy friend for money.
Scripted by accompIished character actor Robert ElIis and his writing partner Helen Logan (their credits also incIude severaI earIy CharIie Chan mysteries), Happiness C.O.D. is one of the best B pictures to emanate from ChesterfieId Pictures Corporation, a Poverty Row outfit that rented studio space on the Universal Iot. It neatIy sidesteps most of the cIichés that normaIly litter domestic dramas and further distinguishes itself by virtue of inspired performances from a roster of character actors frequentIy seen in major-studio productions. Eburne and Meek are particularly effective in rare Ieading roIes. The work of William BakeweIl, lrene Ware, Frank Coghlan Jr., PolIy Ann Young, Edwin Maxwell, and Malcolm MacGregor is aIso of a high order. |
