Utilizig the threat of a divorce to teach husband Donald Woods a lesson, Lupe Velez bites off more malapropisms than she can chew in this third installment of the RKO sit-com like series. Rubber-legged Leon Errol is once again the prankster minded Uncle Matt and his nephew's eccentric boss whom Matt impersonates at Velez's urging in order to aid him in dealing with business rivals determined to out-wit him.
Likable in spite of its basic repeat of the same plot, the series remains a mild diversion in the classic studio age. It is no less memorable than any of the comic series of this era, if maybe containing a bit more slap-stick. Wise-cracks fly from Errol as Matt disguised as Epping to Matt's slightly shrewish wife Elizabeth Risdon who continues her campaign against Velez. The staff of the Reno hotel gets involved in the confusion with the poor house detective fighting double vision every time Errol appears. Of course, the series suffered from continuity issues and some bad dialog of the here we go again. But when it is wrapped up in a harmless package, it is easy to forgive its flaws.
