Where to Watch

This comedy features a variety of lively acts hosted by the comedy duo, Scott and Whaley. It all begins when the comics win a soccer pool and find themselves several thousand dollars richer. They spend the substantial prize on a deluxe, high-tech apartment. The whole thing is controlled by buttons and the fellows have great fun pushing them and discovering their secrets. Once they figure it all out they begin entertaining a wild assortment of guests, including a clown piano teacher who uses carpenter's tools to ply his trade. Merry mayhem ensues.

A chaotic comedy-variety show loosely tied together by the comedy team of Scott and Whaley. The duo fake a winning ticket at the soccer pool and end up with thousands of dollars, which they spend on a lavish, ultra-modern apartment. They turn every knob and push every button in sight which causes the water, heat, and appliances to go wild. After getting things relatively under control, the men are visited by a variety of strange people, including a clown who tunes their piano with construction tools. It's all very bizarre--a number of musical interludes are worked into the story as well. The film was reissued a year later with 27 minutes removed.
