The Big Squirt

Available on DVD:

No review available.

Trivia • The fifth film made by Charley Chase with Columbia Pictures to be released. • Song featured: "I'm A Daring Drugstore Desperado". • Remade by Columbia in 1951 as "The Awful Sleuth". • Charley Chase's daughter Polly appears as one of the girls. • As a heads-up, but if you search the internet for "The Big Squirt" or "Charley Chase The Big Squirt," something else will appear. Something nasty! LOL. My opinion • N/A
