Golden Roll Productions sixth major extravaganza is a tribute to the classic comedy team of Abbott & Costello. The film showcases three of their best routines. First up is 7 x 13 = 28. It is the story of the team trying to out wit their landlord by cheating her out of the rent. The second skit is entitled the Lemon Bit. This is where Bud cons people on the street by getting them to play an unfair game. Finally no Abbott and Costello tribute can be produced without doing a renditions of Who's On First, the classic baseball routine of funny named baseball players.
This film utilizes new microphone and lighting equipment. This is the first sign that Golden Roll Productions is trying to produce better quality films. Also this film is the first to release the new production company logo created by Michael W. Mowery.
Joe McGroarty returns to a Golden Roll Productions set for the first time in 2 1/2 years. Joe was last seen in Buddy Boys: The Movie II ~ The Search For The Golden Roll. The reason for the long hiatus is that Joe didn't feel as though any of the available parts would suite him and he publicity stated that he wanted to play a new role before considering a third Buddy Boys project.
The Who's on First clip is from 1989 which actually predates the "official" formation of GRP. That clip was used for the sole purpose of releasing the film on time. The new Who's On First material was only partially filmed. You can see the out takes from this footage during the bloopers section of the film.
This film is Rated PG
Running Time: 25 minutes
Video Release: August 22, 1994
