Ridiculous and utterly moronic film with Fred Allen as a circus barker who inherits $12 million and then it goes to $300,00, providing he can find the loot in a chair, stashed away by his murdered uncle.
The premise is all right until we get to the locating of the chair. We chase around Mrs. Nussbaum's apartment for it, get involved with a brawl, and meet up with gangster William Bendix, ready to be overthrown by his gang of cut throats.
Jack Benny plays himself and again shows how stingy he is. Had the film stuck with the original bad guy lawyer and his crowd, it would have been far better.
Don Ameche and Victor Moore play themselves as has-beens and are in the huge brawl scene.
Allen is funny, but no one could really rise above such a foolish script.
