Trivia:
The Fuller Brush Company was noted for door-to-door sales of brushes of various sorts, with many Fuller Brush salesmen door-knocking houses all over the USA. There were two movies made - The Fuller Brush Man (1948) and The Fuller Brush Girl (1950). more
Goofs:
Plot holes: Lord Epping brings over a 'war orphan' from World War 1. Given that the film was made in 1941 and the war ended in 1918, Fifi would be around 22 years old, hardly an age for someone to be adopted as an orphan. more

These Mexican Spitfire movies are usually little more than a collection of bits from comedy short subjects, and RKO was one of the two best studios for short subjects in this period -- Columbia was the other with the Stooges and Andy Clyde. Lupe Velez does her broken English doubletalk, Leon Errol does a bit of his crazy legs routine and alternates between his usual voice and his Lord Epping bit and the usual silliness ensues.
In this case the effort is strengthened by the addition of several wonderful comedy performers. Fritz Feld is there, clicking his heels and popping; Tom Kennedy has a small bit as the sheriff and Zasu Pitts shows up, although her role is far too small and doesn't use her as well as it might.
Plot? Plot? Of course there's a bit of plot as the Lindsays try to get Lord Epping's business by having him get them a war orphan and he shows up with girl -- a war orphan from World War One. Does it really matter?
