Rolling Down to Reno

Radio announcer Harry von Zell claims that his station will soon expose a gangster who has been masquerading as a sportsman. Kenneth MacDonald, who fits the bill, calls up and threatens von Zell, who has been making it up. On being informed of the reality, von Zell takes his parrot and the train to Reno to hide. Along the way, a drunk pins a 'just married' sign to his rear and pours some rice on him.

Meanwhile, Christine McIntyre, who is married to MacDonald, takes the same train, intending to get a divorce. MacDonald pursues her.

I'd like to say that hilarity ensues, but because this was directed by Jules White, it's loud, it's obnoxious, and it's random. I know there are many people who think that White's movies are very funny. I don't. Capable comedy performer found themselves stuck in repetitive plots and gags, struggling and usually failing to find some way to do something original and funny in the face of White's penchant for destruction, wire gags, and loud sound effects.

Von Zell makes a good try here, but it doesn't quite come off.
