Plot: Jimmie Harrison and Bobby Vernon are roommates. However, Jimmie's father has heard that this roommate is wild....and to try to convince Dad otherwise, he brings Bobby home for a visit...and has him sport glasses and pretend to be a bit of a wimp. However, Jimmie's sister wants a he-man for a boyfriend, so she has no interest in Bobby. Here is where the film gets pretty dumb, There's apparently some sort of wild caveman living in the nearby woods (huh????) and the plan is to show the sister that Bobby is a he-man. The problem is that the real wild man shows up and all sorts of goofiness occurs.Is it funny? Mildly. But the story idea is so contrived and weird that I don't especially recommend the comedy short.
