Synopsis: A screwball comedy in which a crazy family drives their hard-working matriarch to the verge of a nervous breakdown, so when she inherits a fortune she’s more than happy to take care of herself for a change.

Purr Blur: With all the crazy happenings around the Frink’s apartment, Grandma Frinks (Helen Lowell) is glad to escape upstairs to complain to the sympathetic ear of her neighbor, Mrs. Shinliver (Maidel Turner).  During the scene when they are talking a calico cat is sitting on the bench next to Mrs. Shinliver.  One hardly notices the cat is there except its ear twitches every once in a while.

Final Mewsings: Complaining makes cats’ ears itch.
