Synopsis
No relation to the Cracked Nuts he directed in 1931, this hokey sci-fi-comedy from director Edward F. Cline stars
Stuart Erwin
as Lawrence Trent, a country rube who wins a refrigerator-slogan contest and gets some money for his efforts. Meanwhile, mad scientist Boris Kabikoff (
Mischa Auer
) builds a silly-looking robot in his own image and hooks up with a New York patent attorney (
William Frawley
from
I Love Lucy
) to bilk Trent out of his prize money.
Shemp Howard
plays the robot as a lusty creature with a penchant for skirt-chasing and is used by black servant Chloe (Hattie Noel) to do housechores and frighten her husband Burgess (
Mantan Moreland
), who has a gambling problem.
Una Merkel
co-stars with
Astrid Allwyn
and
Pierre Watkin
