Uncle Matt (Leon Errol) once again dones Lord Epping disguise to get business associate Donald MacBride to sign a business deal for his nephew (Charles 'Buddy' Rogers). Faster than Carmelita (Lupe Velez) can say "okey dokey" or "honky donkey", Lord Epping returns, Aunt Della (Elisabeth Risdon) complains and schemes, and Carmelita unleashes a whole new slew of malapropisms as only a "Mexican Spitfire" can. It's all formula, but fun formula, and the more I watch this series, the more it reminds me of an episode of TV's "Bewitched" with Errol and Velez always saving the day when it comes to her husband's business dealings.
The alleged ghost never appears, although there's light chat about it, and a balloon floating through the supposedly haunted mansion at night with a spooky face on it does scare Aunt Della into clinging onto Lord Epping for life, having earlier discovered Matt was impersonating him. This leads to some hysterical innuendo for the prim and proper matron with MacBride's slow burn getting faster every time he catches Risdon in the arms of either Errol as Epping or him as her nagged husband. The lack of slapstick though diminishes the amount of laughs which are still there, just not as riotous.
