Aside from a few dopey props, it's mildly funny.

Lloyd Hamilton plays a wimpy guy who would rather be out capturing butterflies than anything else. His father is not pleased and the film shows Lloyd out annoying almost everyone around him as he chases butterflies and destroys things in the process. A few of the jokes are very good but a problem in the film is the use of some props which are obvious and fake--such as the fake alligator. They actually DID use a real one in a few scenes and Lloyd is standing only a couple feet away--but when they substitute a fake one, it's incredibly obvious and kind of dumb. Still, despite its deficiencies, the film is worth seeing and a bit cute.
