In this remake of his 1941 short subject MAN-I-CURED, Leon Errol and his business partner are in the Boston Hotel Room set at RKO -- I guess it's the Boston one, since that's where the action is supposed to take place), where they run into Peggy Maley. The shenanigans involve her, her boyfriend/hotel detective Jay Norris, a mink coat, and two or three other people. It's fast, it's funny, if not as funny as the first one.

Leon Errol had ahieved fame on the Broadway stage, then came to the movies. Eventually he settled at RKO for his series that ran from about 1933 through his death and 1951, frequent supporitng comic in features and whatever trouble he could get into with his combination of slapstick -- he was famous for his 'rubber-leg' eccentric dancing, his 'Lord Epping' character, and when in his usual comic persona, quick double takes.
