Asleep in the Feet

"Asleep in the Feet" is a Zasu Pitts/Thelma Todd short from Hal Roach Studios. It co-stars a familiar Roach supporting actor, Billy Gilbert.

When the story (such as it is) begins, Thelma and Zasu have just arrived at their apartment after a day at work. They overhear the landlady telling another resident that she's going to be thrown out if she cannot pay her rent and so the two ladies would like to help her but they are broke. Another resident tells them they can make a few bucks at the local dance hall, so they head there. Once at the dance hall, several stuck up fuddy-duddies arrive to look the place over and pass moral judgment on the going ons there.

Not much actually happens in this short. It felt almost as if they really didn't have a thorough script but adlibbed a bit. None of it was brilliant but it was enjoyable enough to merit you watching it.
