Why Pay Rent?

In "Why Pay Rent?", Elmer tries to make life easier for his freeloading brother-in-law by fixing up a room for him and his wife. However, the arrival of the brother-in-law's stepson, Junior, complicates things further. The apartment quickly becomes too cramped, prompting the decision to purchase land and construct a do-it-yourself home.

The film takes a humorous look at the challenges of home-building when Junior inadvertently mixes up the part numbers for the house. The incompetence of Elmer, Henry, and their wives adds to the comedic disaster. This film captures the essence of 1930s comedy, making it a fascinating piece for collectors interested in the genre and the era's storytelling style.
