Whether He Can Afford It Or Not

Leon Errol gets the bright idea that he can save money by marrying his daughter, Suzi Crandal -- later star of HOW I BECAME A NUDIST -- to a client's son. He rents them an apartment, but his wife, played by Dorothy Granger, thinks he's renting a love nest.

It's a fairly standard entry in Errol's long-running series of comedy shorts for RKO, filled with the usual misunderstandings, sputterings, and come-uppances for Leon. It's not a deal-changer for fans of old comedy, being more akin to the situation comedies of TV than the slapstick comedies that Columbia's shorts department specialized in. However, for those who enjoy well-timed misadventures, it will please.
