This Toots and Casper short is actually a rip-off-----ahmmm, remake, of Charley Chase's NOW I'LL TELL ONE (1927), directed by St. Elmo Boyce (who was engaged to Thelma Hill, but committed suicide in 1930 due to a drinking problem) and featuring Bud Duncan, Thelma Hill, George Gray, and Cullen Johnson:
