"Bill Turnbull of Denver entered several 8mm subjects of the Chicago Fair. To our mind they were among the very best pictures of that event that had been submitted to us in the past two years. His pictures were well cut, nicely edited and deserving of honorable mention." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1936, 73.
"Amateur filmmaker and cinema historian H.A.V. Bulleid plays up slapstick and detective serial conventions in a comedy about a hapless private investigator for whom even the simplest tasks are fraught with mistakes and misunderstandings. Upon leaving his house one fine morning, Horatio Spink is asked to cash a cheque by his long-suffering wife. Heading straight to the bank, he collects the money, which he precedes to count on the street in full view of the local pickpocket. Unaware that he is now £15 lighter, Horatio walks home through the streets of Derby, bumping into the pickpocket outside his home. Startled, the boy runs away and Horatio gives chase. Given the slip by the pickpocket, who launches the cash over the houses, our hero ends up in a neighbour's backyard with a glamorous young sunbather. And having been spotted by a neighbour, Horatio seems destined for trouble. How will he get out of this one? What will his wife do? And will he ever get that money back?" (EAFA Database).
