Not Their First Film!

The Plot

The comedy team of Clark & McCullough, Clark (Bobby Clark)and Grustark (Paul McCullough)seek refuge in the boarding house owned by Finlayson (James Finlayson)after wrecking the car owned by Morgan (Kewpie Morgan).

Finlayson, never without rules, warns them there is no cooking allowed in the rooms and his new roomers proceed to pop corn over the gas heater. A young girl (Josephine Whittell)mistakes their room for the bathroom, which leads to some pre-code complications. The slapstick ending finds Clark and Grustark driving out of the boarding house in Morgan's car with a bed attached to the car.

Contrary to the IMDb listing, this is NOT their first film. The were making shorts in the 20s but most of them are lost after a fire. This movie represents their RKO days, after they left Fox. The better movies were the lost ones from Fox.

This short is the 3rd they made for RKO. It's not one of their best, but I still wish it was for sale somewhere. They were a unique and strange team.
