What happens

Tired Theodore (Swedish: Trötte Teodor) is a 1931 French-Swedish comedy film directed by Gustaf Edgren and starring Valdemar Dalquist, Karin Swanström and Brita Appelgren. It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arne Åkermark. It is based on the 1913 German play of the same title by Max Ferner and Max Neal which has been adapted for the screen a number of times. A separate French-language version Night Shift, directed by Henri Fescourt, was also produced in 1932. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
