OC Note #1. A HONEYMOONERS connection when it comes to inventions.

OC Note #2. Yes, there REALLY is such a thing as barnical glue, research done to this very day on improving adhesives. Likely where writer Lowell Ganz got the idea.

The rest is hopeless... Oscar's dentist, Dr. Elmo(?) lets him in on a million dollar idea, so he thinks. He's developed a super glue from barnacals. Would he care to invest in this revolutionary invention? As expected, Oscar gets Felix in on the idea, even showing him the "power" of this incredible super glue --- like attaching a pencil to a bowling ball! This schtick also has the feel of the Three Stooges.

So the guys make their "presentation" to a glue company and its a downhill disaster, YES, reminding you of a Ralph and Norton train wreck. The performances here, as usual, are off the wall. Why to watch this silly stuff in the first place. Val Avery, who did so many character roles, is fun as the doc, and veteran Malcom Atterbury playing the old-timer glue boss who has seen it all.

Lowell Ganz put the time in on this one, soon to create LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY.
