This was the eighth and final film in the series. It marks the penultimate screen appearance for Lupe Velez, who committed suicide on 14 Dec 1944 after completing one more feature in her native Mexico.[4]

Plot

The story unfolds at a dude ranch. Once again, Dennis is competing with another man, in this case George Sharpe, for a contract with distiller Lord Epping. Due to a misunderstanding, everyone thinks Carmelita has had a baby, when in fact it's her cat that has become a new mother. Epping is willing to sign with Dennis provided he can see the baby, so as always, Carmelita and Uncle Matt have to resort to all sorts of subterfuge--including the inevitable impersonation of Epping by Matt and the resultant confusion for everyone else--in order to set things right.

Cast

Note: This film was made before RKO paired Carney and Brown as a comedy team, but they have no scenes together.
