the film begin with wheeler sneak into the apartment of his girlfriend . her aunt ( edna may oliver a person too talented for this film ) do not like wheeler a sentiment i can easily relate to . the aunt decide to take this bland young lady abroad to get her away from wheeler . they leave and wheeler invest in a revolution in a small mythical kingdom because they promise to make him their king . at about the same time and woolsey be in the same small mythical kingdom and he be make king . so when wheeler arrive and it be up to the boy to fight it out and but they refuse because they be already friend which greatly disappoint the people and a killing and replacing king be a national pastime . i be a huge fan of comedy from the golden age of hollywood the silent era through the 1940s . i have see and review hundred and if not thousand of these film and yet despite my love and appreciation for these film i have never be able to understand the appeal of wheeler and woolsey the only comedy team that might be as bad a the ritz brother . despite be very successful in their short career in hollywood ( cut short due to the early death of robert woolsey ) and i can not help but notice that practically every other successful team do the same basic idea but much good . for example and there be many element of this film reminiscent of the marx brother film and duck soup and yet crack nut never make me laugh and duck soup be a silly and highly enjoyable romp . at time and woolsey talk a bit like groucho and but his joke never have punchlines that even remotely be funny . in fact and he just seem to prattle pointlessly . his only funny quality be that he look goofy surely not enough reason to put him on film . additionally and wheeler have the comedic appeal of a piece of cheese a piece of cheese that sing very poorly . a missed opportunity be the old vaudeville routine later popularize by abbott and costello a who on first which be do in this film but it lack any spark of wit or timing . in fact and soon after they start their spiel and they just end the routine so prematurely that you be leave frustrated . i know that who on first have be around for many year and use by many team and but i really want to see wheeler and woolsey give it a fair shot and give it their own twist . once again and i have find yet another sub par film by this duo . while i must admit that i like a few of their film mildly ( such a silly billy and the rainmaker which i actually give 6 to on imdb ) and this one be a major endurance test to complete something that i find happen all too often when i view the film of wheeler and woolsey . where be all the humor .
