This is what I call a see it and forget-it movie. True, it's mildly entertaining while you're actually watching it, but two or three hours later, it's had to recall more than one or two of its comic episodes. In fact, the one I remember is a scene that the stars, Judy Canova and Robert Lowery, did not appear in at all, in which the villain forced the banker to cash a check that was so large that it made him search out all the cash he had in the bank – even down to the coins. In fact, the said banker was right near the end of counting out bags of these coins when – well I won't spoil the plot for you. Suffice it to say that Miss Canova sings a few forgettable songs and has a grand time pitching in a bit of slapstick now and then. And she is not nearly as strident here as she appears in some of her other screen incarnations. In fact, Charles Lamont's direction is even a notch or two above his usual humdrum competence.
