Featured review
Dapper Dan
Bud and Lou try to guess people's weight on the sidewalk. Waiting, Lou pokes his head into the bars of the jail as a criminal is getting his mugshot. Comically, he bends down as the photographer snaps Lou's picture instead. Fresh off a $60,000 safecracking job, gangsters Chopper (Joe Sawyer), Moose Miller (Robert Bice), Olga (Claire Carleton), and Fifi (Veda Ann Borg) take a room in the boarding house to lay low. Chopper is dangerously jealous of any attention toward his wife, Fifi. Bud spots Lou's picture in the paper as wanted con man "Dapper Dan Davis". He tells Lou to not leave the apartment as he goes to the police station to straighten things out. Fifi becomes ill at a restaurant and leaves alone for the apartment, but enters Lou's by mistake and passes out. Lou frantically gets her out of the apartment, but is caught by Chopper taking her home and kissing. Olga shows the paper showing he is Dapper Dan to Chopper, who admires the great con man. Lou passes Bud off as his accomplice Slick Watson. Chopper has them join them on a big $200,000 safecracking job at Union Warehouse. He has them follow his mob rule of not leaving each other's sight until the job is over. Lou manages to phone Mike the Cop about the set up. Things go haywire at the warehouse.
Yet again, this is another episode with a strong resemblance to an earlier Three Stooges short. This time it is "Fright Night", with the same lead gangster character name and his girl played by the same actress, and a similar warehouse scene. Both were written by Clyde Bruckman.
