This film is from the last year in which the Hays code (Hollywood self-censorship) wasn't fully enforced yet. It is surprisingly osé for its time, including naked athletes in the shower filmed from behind or in white sportswear that shows a bit more than it should -- and standing still although in terms of the plot they should be moving.
As is typical for exploitation films, there is a thin plot that is just a pretext for showing the movie's selling point -- in this case sparsely clothed athletes. This film's plot is about some crooks fresh out of jail, turning to the legal business of publishing a magazine that has a pretext for showing sparsely clothed athletes. One can wonder if some of the people behind this movie were fresh out of jail... (Probably not the director. I checked that.)
It's an OK comedy. Some people will find it is worth watching once to see what was possible in 1934's Hollywood, or because they are interested in some of the actors (including famous athletes). But it's below average as a movie.
