Between 1931 and 1933 Bing Crosby starred in six comedy short films for Mack Sennett.
The plots are all rather similar, but fun.
*Bing loves a girl.
*Her family doesn't like him, and try to get her to marry someone else.
*The comedy is slapstick.
*At the end Bing usually has to sing to prove who he is.
*There usually is a car chase.
These shorts are a lot of fun, and Bing sings some great songs in them.
