This slapstick comedy was released by the long defunct Monogram studio. The humour is juvenile, but those interested in Hapa-Haole music will find some redeeming elements. Steel guitar of very nice tone is used from the opening seconds and in several parts including a jaunty number played over the final credits. Odetta and Kahala Bray are featured dancers, and as they worked with Harry Owens in Hollywood at the time, I am going to suggest the steel-player was Freddie Tavares.
