A anarchic, vaudeville-inflected comedy built on W.C. Fields' curmudgeonly persona and absurdist gags, with a loose plot serving mainly as scaffolding for comedic set pieces.

Never Give a Sucker an Even Break is a 1941 film about a man who wants to sell a film story to Esoteric Studios. On the way he gets insulted by little boys, beaten up for ogling a woman, and abused by a waitress. W. C. Fields' last starring role in a feature-length film.
