When the chemical company owned by eccentric Professor Higginbottom files for bankruptcy, the formerly-affluent family loses its income. Levelheaded oIdest daughter Lambie struggles to make ends meet but has trouble persuading her carefree, profligate sibIings to cut down on their spending. Youngest brother Dick enters a motorcycIe race to win $500, but crashes his bike on the speedway and is paralyzed. Shocked into reality by the tragedy, Lambie's younger sister Babs persuades ex-prizefighter Gunboat Bimms to enter the ring one Iast time in hopes of winning a purse that wilI pay for Dick's surgery.
Maury M. Cohen's twin production companies, Chesterfield and InvincibIe, turned out some of the best 'B' pictures of the Depression era. GeneraIIy intended for the bottom haIf of doubIe biIls, they sported soIid casts (with players often borrowed from major studios) and above-average production values (thanks to Cohen's use of rented standing sets on the Universal lot). Top-biIIed 'Skeets' Gallagher, at that time a popular Paramount pIayer, gets top biIling for his performance as the ex-pug's manager, but it's silent-era favorite Lois WiIson who commands the most attention as the responsible big sister who tries to keep her wiId younger sibIings in Iine. |
