Out of the laboratories

has come a miracle...

the Little Wonder Gas Pill.

You simply drop one of these pills

into a gallon of water...

and you have a gallon of gas,

not ordinary gas...

but gas of the highest quality.

Now, this is the five-gallon size

and this is the 1 0-gallon size.

I could sell it to you

for a dollar a gallon, but no.

The 1 0-gallon size sells for $2.

The five-gallon size sells for $ 1.

Who wants one?

L'll take the large size.

L'll take 1 0 gallons.

- Yes, sir.

- Give me 1 0.

No, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

How do we know

that stuff's on the level?

I perceive that you have a water bag

on your shoulder.

- Ls there water in it?

- Yes, full of it.

Put this in it. l dare you.

It smells like gasoline.

What more do you want, folks?

The five-gallon or the 1 0-gallon size?

Who wants one?

- That's enough for me, give me 1 0.

- There you are.

- Give me 1 0 gallons.

- Give me five gallons.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

All right, folks, don't fight.

Here's another fin, buddy.

Here's your pill.

- Never mind that.

- All right, l'll take five gallons more.

- Right over here, sir.

- Hold it, hold it, folks. Hold everything.

Don't hand over any more of your

hard-earned money to these crooks.

- This is a fake.

- Are you insinuating...

we are hoodwinking the public?

I dropped one of these Little Wonder

Gas Pills into a bucket of water...

poured it into the tank of the car

and now... And now look at me!

Hey, give us back our money!

Inspector McNeil

of the State Bunco Squad.

L've been trailing these two

for five days.

Jail's too good for these robbers.

We ought to take care of them.

- You're right.

- They can't take me.

- We want our dough.

- Come on.

Folks, don't let your tempers boil over.

These men will be dealt with by the law.

My purse.

My purse.

Well, what l can't understand is why did

you pretend to be a county detective...

unless the gas pills

didn't have the desired effect?

What do you suppose

is running this car at the present time?

- He's right, Ollie, we're going okay.

- Well, what happened to the man's car?

He got mixed up in the directions or

there was something wrong with his car.

- How much we take in?

- Two hundred and twenty-three dollars.

- L'll take my half now.

- All right.

There you are.

Hey, wait a minute, fellows.

What?

Didn't l split the money fifty-fifty?

That's not it. We gotta go back.

- Go back! Why?

- This purse belongs to a girl in Midvale.

- L was holding it for her.

- Lf anyone sees us...

they'll throw us all into the jug...

and they'll find out

that you're really not an officer.

- How am l gonna get this back to her?

- L'll take it.
