Carny con artist and snake-oil salesman Eustace McGargle tries to stay one step ahead of the sheriff but is completely devoted to his beloved daughter Poppy.
This film is based on a 1923 stage revue of the same name starring W. C. Fields and Madge Kennedy.
While filming the movie, W.C. Fields regularly drank from a flask, which he insisted was only "pineapple juice." One day, however, the stagehands replaced the vodka in the flask with real pineapple juice. When Fields tasted it, he sputtered and shouted, "Who put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?!"
This is the last film of Tammany Young, who died of a heart attack shortly before filming ended.
