In the 1940s, before he rejoined the Three Stooges (he'd been the third stooge when they were on stage), Shemp Howard made several short films for Columbia. There are two main themes you see in these shorts--either Shemp is seen as a womanizer and his wife or neighbor is out to brain him OR Shemp is a completely annoying and pushy jerk. This is one of the latter films....where he is an insufferable fat-head who drives his poor neighbor (Tom Kennedy) out of his mind! Again and again, Shemp hurts the guy and then acts as if it's Kennedy's fault....not his.
It must have been fun to be Shemp in this one. Again and again, he spreads misery and is extremely pushy. Overall, an enjoyable and mindless short...better than the average Shemp solo film.
