This "lost" film has now been found and can be purchased on DVD by R & B Enterprises (URL provided at the end of the clip). This 1940 Monogram movie stars Frankie Darro, Mantan Moreland, Mary Kornman and Lillian Elliott.
WHY did B movies in the 30's and 40's have more of a plot than movies today? The dialogue was a HELL of a LOT better, cliched or not. I am SO tired of actors today relying on idiot pratfalls, like a shot in the groin (hello Adam Sandler) with a baseball, hockey puck, etc.....I don't think even in the silent era they used the custard pie in the face gag as much!
