Rooney and Bracken play old army buddies who decide to get rich by opening a gas station. This is all at the insistence of Rooney, who almost takes over his buddy's life to see his plan through. Bracken does most of the legwork while his partner masterminds the operation. They become very successful with the station but are faced with a problem when a large oil company opens a station across from theirs. This prompts the two partners to siphon gas from the pipeline leading to the competitor's hoses. Luckily, Rooney did not approach this role with his over-exuberant energy, which made his performance bearable and gave Bracken a well-deserved chance to display his comic talent. leave a comment
