The plot of the story by Earl Baldwin concerns the somewhat shocking adventures of two Broadway gold diggers who set out to make money by the old-time badger game. It is treated in such a humorous vein and corrien so much sparkling dia logue, however, that the shock nitus- tions are turned into riotous laughs. Ray Enright hus gives a unique twist to the direction which adds greatly to the hilarity of the plece.
