Synopsis: J. Effingham Bellweather plays golf despite many slapstick setbacks.

Reaction: Nothing particularly wrong here, but this kind of humor has been done to death since Fields' day. Not his fault. He's great at it and this is a fine example of this kind of humor.

Personal Rating: 6/10

Random Trivia For This Title:

The film makes reference to an invention that was very new in 1930. W.C. Fields' character asks the hotel clerk: "Any telegrams? Cablegrams? Radio? Television?"
According to the wanted poster among the offenses that Bellweather has committed are "Eating spaghetti in public" and "Telling the facts of life to an Indian."
The picture of Bellweather on the wanted poster shows Fields in costume for his Fatal Glass of Beer sketch. It obviously is taken from a stage presentation of the well-tried routine as the comedian would not film it until 1933.
