Thank you.

young fellow. We're taking you to Palm Springs tonight. How do you like that,

huh?

I'll pick you up about four, honey. How will that be?

Most well. I'll have everything packed.

Fine. Car's ready, sir.

Okay. Goodbye, darling.

Bye -bye.

Oh, by the way, be sure and have the dog washed today.

Yes, sir. I'll take him to that new place on State Street. Okay, let's go.

Okay,

now take it easy. No soap in his eyes this time.

Hey, everything all in shape?

We've got a great reputation to live up to now. Everything seems to be in

working condition here. Go get your equipment on.

Palm Springs to me? What are you stopping here for? I'm just stopping to

the dog.

But you're not going to take that mutt to Palm Springs.

What can we do for you, sir?

How's my dog coming, the Dalmatian? Oh, the one with the freckles. That's him.

He'll be ready in a minute. We're putting the finishing touches on him.

Did anyone ever tell you you had pretty paws?

But you shouldn't bite your nails.

Go get my friend's bill.

I'll show him.

Come on, darling.

Here he is, thick and spanked. Fifty cents, please.

Looks fine.

Thank you, uh, Mr.

Powell.

The jackpot! It's about time.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. That 80 -50 sign... Try that low.

1 -11 South Norton.

Thanks, Mr. Manning. Call again.

All right. I don't want to set aside customers.

Where's Mrs. Manning?

Flagged a taxi, sir. I imagine she's gone to Palm Springs alone.

Oh, dear.

No keys.

Now you'll be a good baby while Mama goes around and tries to get in the back

door. That's nice.

Three miles an hour. We ought to be going faster than that.

You're right.

You know, the old engine ain't what it used to be. You're telling me.

Listen to that exhaust.

Hey, you. Come here.

Why don't you close your cutout?

Here. Thanks.

Turn her over.

Just as I thought. Two cylinders missing.

Sounds like a carbon knock to me.

Ow!

Say, did you ever have your valves ground?

Certainly, with onions.

Yeah, with... Oh!

Hey, fellas, look.

Why, it's a baby.

Ain't you never seen a baby?

Sure, but what you doing out there?

Maybe somebody's trying to get rid of it. You mean it's being adopted?

Abandon, you lug. And if there's nobody home, the kid will starve to death.

Go on, get it. I like babies.

I was one myself once.

Come on, we'll take him over to the police station. You want to have him

arrested for loitering?

Go on, put him in.

I don't know.

It was my idea, but I don't think much of it.

He's a cute little rascal, ain't he? Yeah, I'd like to keep him and raise him

myself. Nothing doing. It ain't fair to the kid.

Well, maybe we could give it some milk before we turn it in. Kind of fatten it

up a little.

Come on, let's go.

Go on now, you've caused enough trouble.

Get in your doghouse and stay there.

You'd better step on her now, Tom.

She's probably halfway to Palm Springs by this time.

If he only knew.

Oh, boy, you're going to have a feast.

Quiet.

He's there.

Hide that thing.

What are you going to do with that?

Put my hand over it.

Come on.

Good evening, Mr. Stutz.

Oh, hello, boys.

What's the trouble?

Oh, nothing.

Could we have our key?

Certainly. Thanks.

Don't do something.

Did you hear a baby crying?

It's only Curly. He never could stand green onions. They get in his hair.

I mean his eyes.

Come on. Get the key.

Get the key, please.

Hey! Wait a minute.

What on earth has happened to you?

Something like that.

Wait just a minute. I think I can fix you up.

Drink this right down. It always fixes me up.

Just take it easy and you'll be all right.

Come on.

Hey, where's Butch?

Not bad.

Let's look what I got for you.

How do you like that?

Get rid of him quick. It's the landlord.

I heard a baby in here.

A baby?

How is this even me you heard talking?

Yeah, now do you see?

I always like to talk baby talk.

Baby, you want a cracker? Oh, yeah.

He's spoiled.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I'll keep my eye on you guys.

What's the matter, Butch?

The kid looks tired.

I'll fix his bed.

Hey, porcupine, give me a hand. Take it easy, kid.

Hurry up.

mufflers, eh?

Well, I didn't want the baby to catch cold.

Well, if you were over here, I'd give you this.

Sleep all right, huh?

Here, fix the baby's milk. I'll handle that.

Hey, fellas.

Look, it's Butch.

Hey, we ain't no kidnappers. We better get that kid back to his parents.

I got it.

Here.

Boy, have I got brains.

What's the idea?

I'm going to fall to cuffs and dress you as the baby's mother.

But I never saw the baby's mother. She never saw you either, did she?

No. Well, go on.

But I don't feel like a mother.

Good morning, Mr. Mulcahy. Good morning.

A fine bunch of cops we have around here letting babies get kidnapped all over

the place.

Don't you worry. We'll have them crooks behind the bars in 24 hours.

Not bad, not bad.

What do you mean, not bad? Look at those.

Wait, I'll fix that.

What are they for?

I'm going to pad them up with these sponges and nobody will ever get wise.

Give me a hand.

They've got a couple of suspicious characters down at headquarters.

The detectives picked them up this morning. Maybe you can identify them.

Wait a minute.

He's all the detective I need. Follow him and we'll find the baby.

How are you, Mr. O 'Halloran? I want you to meet my sister, Mrs. Dennis O'Toole.

She just came over from Ireland.

Oh, Mrs.

O'Toole, is it from the outside?

A fine broth of a bar you have here. Is he on the bottle yet?

Oh, I should say that. He don't smoke, drink, nor chew.

Oh, Mrs.

O'Toole. You know, Mrs.

O'Toole. Oh, I beg your pardon. You remind me of a Colleen I once knew in

county carry.

And you remind me of a cop I once knew in the county jail.

Oh, come on over. I wouldn't say Officer O 'Hannoran.

Let me see the baby. Ah,

that's a fine breath of a boy.

You've got to be going, sis. We'll miss that train. Goodbye, Officer.

Goodbye,

Mrs. O 'Hannoran.

I tell you now, then.

I'll take the baggage car.

I wish we were both going on that train.

Wait a minute. Why, that's the kidnappers. Come back here.

Come back here, you kidnappers. You can't get away with that.

Just a minute.

Ain't I seen you somewhere before?

Oh, no.

And what part of China are you from, may I

ask?

Well,

I think we'll take a little trip over to the west side to the police station.

Come along.

The baby got away.

Quiet, quiet. See, you woke up the baby.

That's him, that's him. It's a baby.

You're going for this, I tell you. It's my baby. Come here, darling. So you

tried to fool me, eh? Now, wait a minute, lady. We found that baby on the

doorstep. We're no kidnappers. Aren't you the fellows that run the dog

Sign me. Sure, I'm Moe. I'm Carly. I'm Larry.

Quiet.

I see it all now. They saw the baby on the doorstep and they thought I had

abandoned it.

I'm sure there must be some mistake, officers. If you'll release these boys,

I'll vouch for them. Oh, darling.

But look at you. You're the dirtiest baby I've ever laid my eyes on.

Oh, we'll handle that. Let me have them and follow me down the alley. Right,

right, right, right.

Help me out, officer. Come on, get out of there.
