The Shaggy D.A. Page #2

Synopsis: Sequel to the 1959 movie about a boy who gets turned into a dog because of an ancient ring which some say is cursed. Today the boy, Wilby Daniels is a grown man, a lawyer and with a family. When they're robbed and Wilby tries to report it to police but only gets the run around, he decides to run for District Attorney or D.A. Because he believes that the current D.A. John Slade is not only doing his job but is on the take. When Daniels publicly denounces Slade, Slade decides to try and get something on him. And he might have found it when the ring that turned him into a dog when he was a boy is stolen from the museum and when the words inside are read, he turns into a dog.

152 Hadley Drive.

My house has been robbed again.

Wilby Daniels.

I have an account there.

D-a-n-i-e-l-s.

Remember that name.

It's the name of your next D.A.

Go get 'em, Pop.

Win with Wilby.

That campaign contribution

will be gratefully accepted, Admiral.

Damn the torpedoes.

Full speed ahead.

Those dock pirates got me too.

I've been robbed.

[Up-tempo brass band music]

Good afternoon, madam.

I'm Wilby Daniels.

I'd like to solicit your vote for D.A.

Daniels for D.A.

Thank you very much.

Hello.

I'd like to solicit your vote for D. A...

Daniels for D.A.

Could I interest you in one of these?

Vote for Daniels.

Hi, honey.

Here are some more handouts.

- How's it goin'?

- My name is Wilby Daniels.

My hand is sore

and my smile is permanent-pressed.

- I think we've met before.

- Madam, Daniels for D.A.

Good. Keep it charming and sincere.

That technique won me.

- I remember. What's this?

- That's a symbol. It's a new broom.

It means you're gonna

sweep the town clean.

There's a good customer.

Don't forget to kiss the baby.

That's a good vote-getter.

Nothing over 16.

That's a good smack-in-the-head getter.

Good afternoon.

My name is Wilby Daniels.

I'm running for D.A.

I hope I can count on your support.

My, that's a...

...a beautiful child.

Hello.

You see, Joey likes you.

Let go, honey.

Oh, no. Look what you've done

to this nice man's suit.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- That's all right. Lovely child.

This way, Mr. Daniels.

"Local attorney promises

to clean up city if elected."

He might do well

to start with himself.

[Laughs]

What about his charges that you're

derelict in prosecuting criminals?

Typical sensationalism designed

to grab space in the media.

I realize that you ladies and gentlemen

are much too smart to fall for that.

There are refreshments

in the next room.

That's all the questions

Mr. Slade has time for right now.

Thank you, Mr. Slade.

Yeah, Eddie?

I've got it in front of me.

It's nothin' to worry about.

I just don't like these

enthusiastic amateurs.

Will you believe me?

He's gonna fade. He's a lightweight.

I hope you're right.

Haven't I always been so far?

You take care of everything over there,

I'll take care of this end, OK?

[Curator] We come now to

our always popular Borgia exhibit.

You remember that the Borgias

dealt in a most uncompromising way

with their enemies, frequently

lacing their wine with poison,

as we see here

in this charming little dinner party.

[Curator] On occasion,

they resorted to even more

drastic methods of dispatching a victim.

This painting illustrates a legend

that Lucrezia Borgia

once transformed

an unfaithful suitor into a dog.
