    The plot just makes no sense at all...
    When the film begins, through a case of mistaken identity a waitress thinks Charley is making improper advances on her. So, she does what any sane person would do--shoves a cream pie in this customer's face. And what does he do? Exactly what any sane person would do--he falls instantly in love with her!!! Later, after he does a lot of pursuing, she arranges to have her brother dress up like a lady and beat up Charley. Does any of this make sense to you? No?! Then I guess that pretty much sums this one up! It's full of bizarre plot elements that are confusing and make no sense, is very badly written and ends with a giant free-for-all that makes even less sense. All in all, one of Charley's worst films for Columbia Pictures although the film that still has a few funny moments. It's just a shame that few of these moments make any sense at all.
