Meet Gracie Allen, the queen of the malapropism, able to twist common phrases into meaning something completely different. That's what George Burns finds out when she comes into his hat shop to buy a hat for her sweetheart. It turns out that she buys all the hats that her boyfriend wears, but doesn't know the size of his hats, only his suits. She even claims not liking one hat simply because it looks like a hat. much of the banter between Burns and Allen doesn't involve her attempt to buy a hat but her wacky family and situations that no sane person could imagine ever being in.
It's more wackiness from Burns and Allen in a one real short that is funny but not hysterical. A reference to professional golfer Bobby Jones is probably the best joke in the whole short, but after the setup begins, you begin to realize that the whole thing is sort of pointless, just an excuse for Gracie to act dizzy and drive sales clerk George batty. Burns and Allen perennial Chester Clute is present, revealing to me that he was the equivalent of James Finlayson to Laurel and Hardy, that touch of luck that they added for consistency and to briefly take the focus off of them.
