Once again the subject of alimony is the theme for a comedy and once again the result is something that might better have been left undone. As the title indicates, this is another crack at that alleged burning injustice–the payment of alimony by husbands to wives who don’t deserve any. Most of the action takes place in what the producer fondly imagines is a typical city jail where alimony dodgers are incarcerated. You are shown the inmates in various moods and situations. In between the attempted laughs there is much ranting about the injustice of alimony. The subject is hackneyed all that can be said has been said and this echo of a worn out theme.
