This is the second of eight Joe McDoakes shorts in which Jane Frazee played the missus. Why the usual Phyllis Coates wasn't in these eight, I have no idea. But this Mrs. McDoakes is amazingly patient, as Joe sure gave her reasons to wanna clobber him!
Mrs. McDoakes wants to go out to a night club, but Joe is a drip about the whole thing. Finally he agrees to take her but only wants to be really cheap and he complains how he doesn't want to dance! But, when his co-worker Homer arrives with a hot blonde, suddenly Joe spends money like it grows on trees and is very solicitous to this lady. Oddly, Mrs. McDoakes didn't seem too upset by this. However, his big spending creates a problem...they cannot afford the bill!
This one is pretty funny and enjoyable...and worth seeing. Nothing brilliant but plenty of what you've come to expect from the series.
