"Everytime Someone Around Here Gets an Idea, It Costs Me Money"
boblipton23 May 2018
When Edgar loses money he doesn't have playing the system devised by his layabout brother-in-law, Jack Rice, he has to borrow money from a banker. When he makes ice cream, he drops the banker's heirloom watch into the dessert, with typically increasingly disastrous results in this entry to the long-running COMMON MAN short subject series.

Kennedy's screen career had begun with Keystone in the 1910s, and continued with Roach in the 1920s. He began his short-subject series, usually co-starring Florence Lake as his wife, Jack Rice as her brother, and Dot Farley as her mother, through his death in 1948, amidst a busy supporting career in features.

Watchable

The Plot.

Edgar's brother-in-law persuades Edgar to indulge in a little betting at the race track, and Edgar loses $900.

While entertaining a banker to get on a loan, for a supposed worthy purpose, the bookie's henchman shows up demanding to be paid.

These later Kennedy vehicles follow a format that starts to resemble later stooges comedies.

In other words, they are still watchable but the plots become stagnant.

Still, it's worth a viewing.

Even if it's not one of the best.
