W. C. Fields plays Whipsnade a fast talking shyster who is struggling to keep his second rate circus going.
Whipsnade is avoiding his creditors, his daughter is in love with ventriloquist Bergen who has two dummies and no money. However her daughter decides to marry a smarmy millionaire in order to help her father out.
At the engagement party, Whipsnade embarrasses her daughter's future in laws.
This is a fast frenetic comedy. Fields is true to form with his quick one liners usually filled with insults. Bergen is fun with his dummies.
You Can't Cheat an Honest Man does not quiet last the pace but the film is not overlong. The humour is very much of the zany variety.
