Crazy credits
The opening credits start with a live-action close up of Harry von Zell (with his name displayed on top of the screen) laughing diabolically, unaware he is on camera. When he finds out, he does an embarrassed double-take and the screen segues into the usual Greco comedy mask background.

A Misfire Debut for A Promising Series

Famous radio announcer Harry von Zell eventually turned his attention to acting and was signed to do a series of two-reel comedies for Columbia Pictures in the late 1940s. Many moviegoers found this series to be the funniest and best of all the two-reelers the studio produced. Sadly, this first entry is pretty weak, with Harry as a radio actor playing a gangster on a crime program and two escaped bank robbers mistake him as a real one. Most of the comedy is supplied by co-star Tom Kennedy, who plays a stir-crazy convict the robbers kidnapped during their escape from prison. Other than that, it's not a great start.
