W.C. Fields stars as Egbert Souse, an unemployed, henpecked drunk who spends most of his time at the Black Pussy Cat Café. But things take a turn for the absurd when Souse inadvertently captures a bank robber and is rewarded with a job as a security guard. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
"I definitely liked 'It's a Gift' more, but Fields just can't be taken away, he's just the right kind of fool and he's willing to do anything for a laugh. His situational and verbal humor are just excellent, and at times he will amaze you with what he can say, and with the expression on his face as he says it. It's definitely not entertainment for everyone, but once this fat guy captivates you, he won't let you go."
