A Trailer Tragedy

Edgar Kennedy and wife Vivian Oakland are taking a vacation in their trailer, while her father, Billy Franey drive..... until it turns out Billy didn't mail in the latest auto payment, so it's repossessed and they have to park the trailer in a trailer camp, courtesy of the Auto Club.... until it turns out Billy didn't mail that check either. At least they still have the trailer.

This is Edgar's backup family in his RKO shorts series. It ran from 1933 through his death in 1948, and featured Edgar's temperamental fireworks, capped off with his 'slow burn.' This one is ornamented by a couple of clowns from his days at the Hal Roach sstudio: Tiny Sandford, who always played cops for the comic, even though he might play a musketeer for Douglas Fairbanks; and Charlie Hall, a graduate of the Karno troupe like Chaplin and Stan Laurel, always the pugnacious little guy willing to battle with everyone. He's a lot of fun here fr a standard, funny episode.
