This reminds me of so many agonizing shorts I have seen. WC Fields in It's a Gift on the balcony trying to get some sleep from all the harping people, Popeye in Me Musical Nephews, again trying to get some sleep, and a bunch of others like it. Edgar Buchanan is recognizable as the guy that takes heaps of abuse from the likes of Abbot and Costello, the 3 stooges, and many others. This short is just Edgar reprising difficult times again for being under the mis-understanding that he's about to have a baby, when he isn't. It is a fun piece if you like living through humorous agony.
