- Quotes
Rusty Cammeron: [Grandpop and Rusty have just finished watching Clark Gable in "Boom Town"] Grandpa, I couldn't bring myself to slap a woman.
Grandpop Cammeron: In your case, it's a necessity.
Rusty Cammeron: Well, supposing they don't go for it?
Grandpop Cammeron: You've got to assert your masculine dominance; if she takes it, that's love.
Rusty Cammeron: Well, what if she slaps back?
Grandpop Cammeron: That, my boy, is marriage.
- Crazy creditsSimilar to the Fred Allen film "It's In the Bag," Skelton narrates the opening credits, cracking jokes about the cast, crew, and even the title itself ("Please tell your friends. We'd like to make a little money on this picture.").

Featured review
Red Skelton
Red Skelton plays multiple members of the Cammeron family which owns a camera shop. Rusty Cammeron is drowning in debt and then he's saved from real drowning by wealthy land developer Lucia Corlaine.
There is a Stooge-like changing room gag. This needs something more to push this fully into a laugh out loud comedy territory. Red Skelton is throwing a lot of his silly physical humor into this. The side-by-side Red Skelton double can be visually static. He's not great in any of the roles. He's not a good romantic lead. Lucia also needs to be more dynamic and more time to develop some romantic chemistry. This is mostly for Red Skelton fans and has a few fun physical gags.
