About this film

The only known surviving installment of Stoopnagle & Budd's 1930s radio shows. The duo (Frederick Chase Taylor, William Budd Kulick) are considered to have been radio's earliest satirists, whose disciples would come to include Fred Allen and Bob & Ray (much of whose freewheeling deviltry may have been modeled at first on Stoopnagle & Budd), until the partnership broke up with no public explanation in 1937. Col. Stoopnagle became a frequent radio presence with a foray or two into early television until his unexpected death in 1950.
