Another early Danny Kaye short with a weak script

This is the fourth of four shorts that Danny Kaye was in at the start of his film career. Kaye isn't in the lead role, but steals all the scenes he's in. Again, this is a film that has a good idea for a plot. The antics are good, and there's plenty of those. Unfortunately, the script just doesn't have much humor in the dialog.

Charles Kemper has the lead as Charlie Kemp, an accident insurance agent. The best humor has to do with his company and its insurance policies. Charlie sells a policy to Nikolai Nikolayevich, and when two foreign Russian agents try to kill Nikolai, Charlie does everything he can to try to keep him alive.

The name of the insurance company is, Look Before You Leap Accident Insurance Co. It's slogan is, "Your broken neck is our loss."

Here's the best exchange of dialog in film. Charlie Kemp says, "You have no idea how much money you'd get if you broke both arms, both legs, 15 ribs, drowned and suffocated." Nikolai Nikolayevich, "I couldn't be that lucky."
