"Dorian Dope, who doesn't use his head, finds out the hard way that there are home hazards too. He discovers that leaving the handle of a frying pan over the gas means a nasty burn; a stepladder in front of a closed door, a bad fall. Altogether, he violates twenty rules for home safety and finally, bruised and battered, falls asleep while smoking."

"Previews and Reviews," Film News (October 1953): 15.
