Take these off at once and cut out
this infernal nonsense!
There you are.
I give you the killers.
Why, it's the Hastings brothers,
the men who are going to buy the store.
Gentlemen, I'm terribly sorry,
but it's really not my fault.
You certainly do look
like crooks.
Well, we'll forget about it this time.
Mistakes can happen.
Give me those keys so I can
unlock these handcuffs.
Hurry up.
What's the matter with you?
I'm sorry, gentlemen.
Up!
The gray coats! Keep them up.
Start walking.
Well, look who's here!
- Austin Benny and the Snapper.
for a long time.
Be careful. We don't wanna
be sued for false arrest.
Sued? Why, you're
entitled to a reward.
Come on, you thugs.
- Come on, you guys, get moving.
Get along.
We're ready to close
the deal, Mr. Rogers.
I have a certified check in my pocket.
If you take us to your office, we'll sign it.
Gentlemen, I have an idea.
This being Saturday,
Why not postpone
The employees can meet the new owners.
We can make it a regular ceremony.
That's a splendid idea.
We can invite the press, get a lot of
free publicity. - Sounds good to me.
We can have a party,
just like in Hollywood.
That's fine. Let there be wine.
- And women.
And song.
- And women.
And caviar.
- And women.
And more women.
Hey, Wacky. I got a good idea.
Why don't you and me
go play for the party.
Look how you're dressed.
You look terrible.
There's a bunch of high-class people there.
You're dressed like a scared scarecrow.
That's too bad. They wouldn't let you in
dressed that way. Goodbye, Wacky.
Hey, Wacky?
Hey, Wacky, come on.
Everything's fixed. You're gonna
play at the party. Come on.
Hey, Wacky.
Why...!
Gentlemen, are you well taken care of?
- Yes, thank you.
we can make the first editions.
I'll have Mr. Rogers and
the Hastings brothers ready for you.
Never mind the Hastings. We want
a picture of Rogers signing. That's news.
Yes, I'm sure it will be.
Well, be patient.
It'll only be a few minutes.
Now, there's one thing more.
Did you get Sutton out of the store yet?
I'm waiting till dark.
there'll be cops. Get him out fast.
I'll take care of it right now.
Hop in here. There's a few things
I'd like to discuss with you.
What I'm about to say is intended
for your ears alone.
Oh, Wolf.
Martha, dear, there are many bonds
that will hold us together through eternity.
Really, Wolf?
What are they?
Your government bonds, your
savings bonds, your liberty bonds.
Maybe in a year, after we're married... .
- Yes?
Who knows? There may be
a little baby bond.
Oh, it all seems so wonderful!
Tell me, Wolfie dear,
will we have a beautiful home?
Of course. You're not planning
on moving, are you?
No, but I'm afraid after
we're married a while...
will come along...
and you'll forget all about me.
- Don't be silly. I'll write you twice a week.
Are we all ready?
- Yes.
Fellow employees...
all of you know that Tommy Rogers'
musical education...
was made possible by the sympathetic
understanding of the late Hiram Phelps.
If it weren't for that,
the music you're about to hear now.
Friends, I hope you'll enjoy
Tommy Rogers' "Tenement Symphony".
Sorry to have kept you
waiting, boys.
Don't shoot till you see
the whites of my eyes.
This will call for a headline change.
Shove the war news to the second page.
Tonight, the front page is mine.
I see. Snobs.
- Don't worry. I take your picture.
Drop that before I drop you!
- I drop it.
Why, you!
What paper do you represent?
- "The News"
Take out a subscription to
"The News" and cancel it.
And sign the cancellation
"Disgusted Reader".
Would you mind if I borrowed
your camera?
Thank you, sir. You made
a powerful friend. We'll get a picture.
We'll ignore the dailies and send it
to the American Museum of Art.
What is it, Duke?
Sutton got away. When I spotted him,
he was talking to his sister Joan.
Why didn't you get him?
- He ducked into a crowd and disappeared.
We've got to get Joan.
She'll talk. Come on.
Hey, look at me and laugh.
- I've been doing that for 20 years.
I must speak to you at once.
- What a lucky girl.
Just in time to get in
the picture with me.
Pose pretty, now.
- Get ready.
Look nice, now.
Turn on the lights!
- What's the meaning of this?
Don't worry, Joan,
I'll protect you.
I can't understand why Tommy
wants to marry you.
Where did that scream come from?
- Stand back, everybody. Touch nothing.
Luckily, Wolf was at the crime scene.
- Where's Joan?
Hey, Tommy, I got the picture.
- Oh, gentlemen, the case is solved.
He'll develop this picture
and bring to light what took place.
I'll look for Joan while you
develop the picture.
You know how to develop it?
- He can use potassium or silver nitrate.
Use the nitrate, it's cheaper.
Are you all right, Tommy?
- Yeah.
This looks like Grover, is built like
Grover and is dressed like Grover.
Who do you think it is?
- Grover Cleveland.
Why don't you assist Basil
Rathbone and let me alone.
Hurry with the picture. I'm going to the
police. This means 99 years for Grover.
Maybe even life.
Give me that negative.
- Quiet.
Give me that negative.
Give me that picture.
- Can't we talk this over sociably?
Give me the picture.
- They're a dollar a dozen.
Give me that picture. - I guess
we better give him the picture.
Come on!
Hey, come on!
I think he's unconscious.
- What's the difference? We've still got the picture.
All right, up with your hands.
I got him! I got him!
Here!
Thought we wouldn't
get you, huh?
Now give me that picture.
Adis, senor!
- Arrivederci!
There's a couple crazy killers
loose in the store. - What?
Yes, Rogers' bodyguard.
Turn out the lights, lock
We can't go this way. The cops.
- Let's go this way, it's quicker.
Hey, we got to skate faster
than they can shoot.
There's an exit at the end
of the aisle. Skate like mad!
Come on!
- Come on!
You go down that way.
I'll go down this!
Look! Wacky!
Don't move!
Get Mr. Grover.
We've got to get this picture
to Tommy immediately!
There he is!
Hey, Wacky! Flywheel!
Help! Help!
Hey, Flywheel!
Hey, Wacky! Flywheel!
Hey! Don't let him get that!
- What do you think you're doing?
Stick them up, or I'll shoot.
- He'll shoot.
Wacky.
Come on, Wacky.
Flywheel, in here!
Hurry, Wacky!
Come on! Come on!
Turn that over here.
- Get that over there.
Hey, Wacky, come here.
Quick! Quick!
Up against the door, now.
Give me that picture!
All right! All right!
- Don't shoot!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
We give up! - All right. Come on.
Well, that takes care of him.
- Let's get out of here.
Get the police, quick!
Here I am.
- That's what I call quick.
Certainly give you service from
this door. - Get them up.
