Otis (Victor Moore) is married to a rather terrible wife, Emma (Helen Broderick). After all, he works a regular job and she expects him to come home each day and do ALL the housework! But mousy Otis puts up with it and is a dandy 'housewife'. So what does Emma do with most of her time? She listens to the radio and enters all sorts of contests...something that has NEVER paid out in the least. One day, however, she is picked to be a finalist for a contest put on by a noodle company. What is the contest? To find the best housewife in America! And, despite being pretty worthless in that department, she gets poor old Otis to do most of the work to help her win the contest. But eventually, even the mild-mannered Otis has had enough...enough of her lying and taking the credit for all of his hard work. Where does this go next? See for yourself!
The movie is, I admit, a bit uneven. The first portion is just okay...but it does get better and the swimming suit portion near the end is a real hoot! Well worth seeing because Moore and Broderick are terrific...and the script is much better than you'd expect from a B-movie.
