One of the weakest Curly-era efforts

This short seemed pretty weak to me. The problem is too many things that were supposed to be funny failed to make me laugh. There were a few good parts as there are in any Curly short, but this one just had too many unfunny scenes for a stooge short.

Grade: D+
