I wholeheartedly agree with many of the comments here, this is one of my all-time favorite poverty row films!  And the reason is definitely largely due to Mantan Moreland, perhaps his finest hour, though I always find him entertaining, but he's just dead on hilarious in this one!  And it's a pretty good story and production all-around as well.  Would have been a masterpiece had Bela been in the film, but as it is, it's pretty darn good fun!
