Radio crooner Bing Crosby (as himself) is so popular that women riot when they see him. But after his rich fiancée Mona (Sharon Lynn) “gives him the air,” he and a Texas oil man (Stuart Erwin), who also lost his girl, try to end it all with gas fumes.
Andre Roosevelt (the balding cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt) uses his yacht to rescue Captain Benson (Loch, who narrates) and Rita (Carol Jeffries), the daughter of a missing fortune hunter.
Nick (Jack Holt), the chief diver of a salvage boat, saves the life of diver friend Tobu (star Edmond Lowe from Chandu the Magician), whose arm has to be amputated.
Aloysius (Eddie Cantor), a homeless movie fan hired as a Hollywood extra, imagines that he’s in ancient Baghdad and is mistaken for the son of Ali Baba.
This picture was taken for Night Creatures, a feature article in Rolling Stone (August, 1984 double summer issue) by Kurt Loder. Other pictures were taken of me on a ladder changing the Selwyn marquee letters, but weren’t used.
In 1975 or maybe 76, I was working at Northern Records, a warehouse in the east side of downtown Cleveland. My job was being in charge of the loading docks. I loaded and unloaded skids of albums from trucks with a manual fork lift, checked the invoices, and let the Northern salesmen (and one saleswoman, who became a girlfriend) in and out. One day Bradley Fields (we both had gone to Lakewood high School, along with the Electric Eels) showed up at the dock with a band, who turned out to be the (as yet unrecorded) Heartbreakers from NYC.
