This is an amusing little feature that efficiently uses its basic premise. The concept in itself is not only simple, but far-fetched, and yet the story eases into it very smoothly, making a very wacky idea seem quite logical - as wacky ideas tend to do in the world of Charley Bowers.

The story has Charley as an eccentric inventor, who this time is trying to come up with a way to make banana peels less slippery. His character approaches it with the zeal, discipline, and persistence of a devoted scientist, and it is pretty funny to see both his methods and his seriousness in pursuing such a pointless project.

The gadgetry and the accompanying slapstick both work well. Shorter than most of Bowers's features from the era, it's a good example of getting a lot out of a premise without trying to drag it out too long. It's entertaining and worth seeing.
