synopsis
Having been teamed unsuccessfully with Tom Kennedy and the eccentric Elsie Ames, El Brendel was paired with Columbia second-banana Monte Collins this time around, to slightly better results. El and Monte play home auxilliary workers who run afoul of a Mad Scientist (played with glee by "Ming the Merciless" himself, Charles Middleton). The 2-reeler was remade by Columbia in 1950 as Dopey Dicks, this time featuring The Three Stooges and with Philip Van Zandt as the villain.
