Joe Penner at one time was a top comedian and his main performing medium was
radio. He was on radio every bit the zany type you see here. His main catchphrase was "Wanna buy a duck?" A year after this film was done he would die quite
suddenly and young.
His brand of humor doesn't wear well in this type of film. His kind of frenetic pace was best in short subject films.
In this one Penner is a rich idiot who can't get anything going with young and attractive females. Instead of being grateful he won't be propagating, dad hires Russ Brown an expert in these matters to teach Penner to not be so shy and learn some social graces.
Penner's not shy any more when things are over, but social graces is a hopeless cause with him.
Joe Penner for these times is an acquired taste.
