W.C. Fields stars as Larson E. Whipsnade, a seedy circus owner which is in debt. His daughter is torn between love for a ventriliquist or marrying a rich suitor to help her father. I am a huge fan of W. C. Fields, but could never bring myself to like the Charlie McCarthy dummy (or in fact ventriloquism on a whole, I feel it's only a few steps above Mime).And because of this the greatness of Field's comedy is often offset. This movie can be found in the W.C. Fields comedy collection, along with, "The Bank Dick", "My Little Chickadee", "It's a Gift", "International House", and "W.C. Fields:Behind the Laughter"
