Joe Cook's gym is bankrupt, an income tax man wants to see him, he's training George Givot as a boxer, so what else can go wrong? Well, a lot of corny jokes, for one thing.
Cook seems more interested in enunciating clearly than in the quality of his gags, or perhaps his director is. After an appearance or two in the late 1920s, he went back to the stage, worked on his radio appearances, and then returned the the movie theater in a few comedy shorts for Educational Pictures, which was fading fast; they probably expected they would make a few bucks on it being Cook regardless of the quality of the movie.
