Description by OLDIES.com:
How can a couple of goofball gas station owners make a buck when a big, shiny station opens across the street offering cut-price gas? Well, they could tap into a big oil company's fuel line, get their gas for free, and start a we-can't-lose price war. It's a perfect plan...until armed robbers and a lit cigarette carelessly tossed aside make it all go up in smoke.
Product Description:
"Slight" is right: this harmless comedy programmer is as inconsequential as it is enjoyable. It's the tale of two Army buddies: go-getter Geechy Cheevers (Mickey Rooney) and sedate family man Freddie Clopp (Eddie Bracken). Inveigling his way into Freddie's household, Geechy drives everyone bonkers with his get-rich-quick schemes. After convincing Freddie to quit his job and mortgage his home in order to set up a gas station, Geechy cooks up an underhanded scheme to tap the gas pipe of a rival station. Standing on the sidelines is Geechy's long-suffering girlfriend Beverly (Elaine Stewart) and Freddy's far-from-understanding wife Emily (Marilyn Erskine). An obligatory slapstick chase finale caps this exercise in lunacy.
