Bert Roach has just divorced his latest wife, and that's another half million dollars down the drain. He bets Ernest Woods that he can keep away from women: $1,000 a kiss, $5,000 if he gets engaged, and $10,000 married, all payable to the orphans. When they get to Roach's home, they discover that his uncle in Turkey has died and left him his harem, all of whom lack daddies.
It's a pretty good comedy directed by shorts specialist William Watson for Al Christie, who was now releasing through Educational Pictures. The coming of sound had cut down on the number of independent comedy shorts, and although the arrangement would continue through 1938, when Educational would be folded into 20 Century-Fox, the new comedy stars would be more about talk and less about visuals.
