Grocery store owner, Chic Sale, is forced to protect his Boilsville, Ark., business from the wicked ways of a rival chain-operated store. His fight gets complicated when his grand-daughter falls in love with the competition, played here by David Manners.
This is a delightful vehicle for Chic Sale in which he provides another of his amusing yet sympathetic rustic characterizations. By his usual so-so standard, Erle C. Kenton's direction is astonishingly slick and he also handles a really diverting chase climax with similar finesse Here is a "B" movie that most moviegoers took to with relish. Admittedly, Charles "Chic" Sale was an easily recognizable type that readily appealed to the majority of both rural and city audiences. Well, he did back in 1932. I doubt if he would have the same impact today. Let's see if Warner Archive ever gets around to pressing a DVD.
