Film Notes
The gag of radio controlled cars has already been used, but here it is improved a little in the details… A scene that will create a few laughs is the one in which Bevan pushes his car and a dozen other ones to the edge of a precipice. The car radio operator gives a dinner in honor of himself, and the guests must show up in costume. The sudden discovery that there has been a theft in the radio shop leads everyone to suspecting it was an intrusive black man. At this point there is a slapstick segment that is highly amusing.
