Bank robbers. Two of 'em.

Went down this alley.

"Out to tea. Joe. "

Be drinkin' sarsaparilla next.

Must be another holdup somewhere.

There they are!

Grab him while I put these on.

That's not one of the crooks.

That's Mr. Sous.

Yeah, Sous.

Accent grave over the "E."

Fine job apprehending this desperado

and retrieving the bank funds.

Yeah, 50,000 ain't hay.

Uh, yes! Yes! He got away.

Pulled a knife on me.

We detectives gotta do those things.

Never know when you're gonna catch

a couple of bank robbers.

Mr. Skinner would like to see you and

Look out there!

I'll give him a punch in the nose.

See those handcuffs

- Come to headquarters and identify this fella.

- Okay.

I'll break every bone in his hand.

- Myrtle should be proud to have a father like you.

- I guess she is.

No wonder,

after a thing like that.

Elsie Mae Adele Brunch Sous's father

just caught a burglar.

And he tried to cut his throat

with a knife about this long!

Yeah.

And he had a gun

about this big!

- You don't say?

- Did you kill him with one bullet?

Mm-hmm.

- Ohh, jiminy, you're pretty good.

- Jiminy!

One or two bullets. I was so busy shooting

him. That's the way I catch burglars.

- Do another!

- Oh, boy!

- Will you teach me?

- Ooh, that's swell.

I'll teach you

when you grow up.

I never smoked a cigarette

till I was nine.

Sign my autograph book,

Mr. Souse?

"Sou-say," son.

Accent grave over the "E."

- There's the accent grave.

- I saw you through the window.

- Oh, did ya?

- A knife four feet long, eh?

I'll say that the sword

Lee surrendered to Grant...

was a potato peeler by comparison.

You better come in and have

a little poultice on the house.

Don't mind if I do.

Mr. Sous? Here's the interview

you gave me for my paper.

- Look it over and see if it's correct.

- Oh, thanks.

I'll pursue it instanta.

Oh, yes!
