Edgar Kennedy is off to go play golf when his wife asks to borrow the car! That’s no problem, he’ll get a taxi - but his driver used to be a fellow member until his wife got involved in a love triangle and now he drives a cab! Nervous, he decides to double-back and check just why she (Florence Lake) wanted the car in the first place. Now we are given a clue as to the whole thing right from the get-go, so we know just what is really going on as poor old Ed gets the wrong end of the stick at just about every turn and it’s fair to say that for him - if it can go wrong, it will. With the police suspecting he’s a bit of a peeping Tom and with just about everyone involved in the frenzied pursuit of a body in a basket, it builds up to quite an action-packed conclusion. No, there is nothing very original here but maybe it might just suggest to married folks that a little bit of trust might not do anyone any harm.
