Standard Burns & Allen stuff.

"I've seen quite a few Burns & Allen shorts that they made in the early part of their careers in films. And, I must say that they all seem to blend together, as the plots really are NOT important. Essentially, you toss the pair together and Gracie goes into her ditsy routine with George feeding her straight man lines in order to keep her going. She goes off on all sorts of tangents and then the film ends. In this case, George is working at a hat store and Gracie comes in looking for a hat for her boyfriend.

💡 Did You Know?

The joke about the bird that flies upside-down was derived from a routine originated by Fred Allen called "the bird that flies backwards." George Burns had been using Allen's version of the joke in his stand-up act, and Allen was not happy when he caught wind of it, so Burns consulted writer John P. Medbury who came up with a slightly different variation of the gag on the spot.
