Slapstick! Hijinks! Lunacy! Wacky comedy legends Ole OIsen and Chic Johnson star as confidence men with as many aliases as they have junk bonds. After being run out of town with their tails between their legs, they bounce into a new money-making adventure with Gertie, their Ieggy (but dumb-as-a-brick) blonde secretary and her mammoth Great Dane Prince.
Their antics lead them to the quiet town of CenterviIIe where the foursome are accused of kidnapping BilIy (Sammy McKim), a runaway to whom they had offered a ride. Once the misunderstanding is explained and Billy is sent home to his attractive mother (Lila Lee), the wacky crooks unleash themselves onto the town and paper it fuIl of worthless bonds. Bleeding the suckers dry, OIsen and Johnson outstay their weIcome in CenterviIle and a "necktie mob" forms to Iynch them on the spot!
VaudeviIIians Olsen and Johnson achieved superstardom two years later with their surreal "anything goes" Broadway smash "HeIIzapoppin'", which was produced as a film in 1941 by Universal Studios. |
