This remake of the elusive 1935 short GOBS OF TROUBLE starring Tom Kennedy and Monte Collins is very funny thanks to the team of Andy Clyde and former Viagraph comedian Emmett Lynn. Felix Adler is credited for the script of this short, though I believe someone else wrote the original.
Andy and Emmett are sailors who return home after being on the ocean for a long time. They become nervous to propose to their fiancées and they soon live to regret it, as they end up getting married and succumb to doing the household work. When a fire burns down their apartment, they are forced to relocate to the suburbs where they try to impress their wives by cleaning the house, with disastrous results.
Jules White, of course, shifts the physical violent slapstick into high gear, especially the sequences where Andy tries to put a bed together and Emmett dealing with an uncooperative dresser. The two actually appeared together the previous year in WOLF IN THIEF'S CLOTHING, a partial reworking of Clyde's own short LOVE COMES TO MOONEYVILLE and they would team up again later in GOLD IS WHERE YOU LOSE IT, featuring Mel Blanc in a rare acting role and HOOKED AND ROOKED, a remake of UGLIER.
