Charley hires three "good-time girls" (Thelma Todd, Anita Garvin, and Kay Deslys) to help him secure a real estate deal by working their charms on the potential buyers at a party set to close the deal. Charley makes sure plenty of booze is on board and tells the girls to go upstairs and get ready. But when he answers the knock at the door, he is met by three stern-faced, hard-boiled, tee-totaling scarecrows (Del Henderson, Tenen Holtz, and Carl Stockdale) who have been sent to replace the rowdy businessmen Charley was expecting. Chase is stuck -- how does he get around this awkward situation? Thank heavens for Thelma Todd who suggests they break the ice by playing a game - anyone for post-office? Eventually the party becomes raucous. The businessmen loosen up and start a seltzer-water fight, much to the landlord's exasperation. Truly a fun short subject, more because of its buoyancy than any really clever gag or plot device. Whispering Whoopee is a pleasant entry in the Chase series and one of the best Charley Chase short sound comedies!
