I'm feeling that I'm reeling when they strike up a band.

Each rhythm has me with them, and I'll say that it's grand.

There's only one reason my feet want to fly.

I'm steppy, I'm steppy, I'm telling you why.

When music's good and hot.

I've got loose ankles.

No matter where I go, they never become low.

The foot is finished, madam.

Thank you, Marcel.

That looks wonderful.

I could walk two miles for a cigarette now.

The sheiks have all saw it, Marcel. He makes walking back so easy.

Don't forget to have the big suite at my place tomorrow, Marcel. I want a

massage. Thank you, madam.

an awfully cute number, Betty.

What's the name of it? Oh, it's a little thing called loose ankles.

I wonder if all the family's downstairs yet.

Well, you know the old saying, where there's a will, there's a lot of

I bet even those from Alaska are here by now.

Can you picture them all sitting down there with a nice cream cone in each

Say, let's go down and see how the clan is gathering.

All right.

The name, please.

A Mr.

and Mrs. Berry from Walla Walla.

The berries from Walla.

To Walla.

Walla Walla.

The berries from Marblehead.

The Marblehead berries.

And Mrs.

Berry from Logan.

Oh. Oh, come in, dear.

The Logan Berries.

Good evening.

And the Ralph Berries.

How do you do?

I am Major Rupert Harper.

We are pleased to meet you. And this is my wife.

Mrs. Berry, my sisters, Miss Sarah and Miss Catherine Harper.

Girls, may I present Mr.

Berry of Walla? Walla Walla.

Yes, we've heard of you indirectly.

It's too bad that we should meet on such a sad occasion.

Oh, yes.

But make yourselves at home. We will open poor dear grandmother Barry's will

a few moments.

Hasn't got the Barry nose.

Your wife is young, isn't she?

Well, Ann?

Why, Ann?

Sarah, what a beautiful gown. You look too cute for anything.

Your sarcasm is entirely unnecessary.

Oh, it wasn't sarcasm. I was only pretending on Betty's account.

That's entirely unnecessary.

What are you doing here?

You're only a second cousin. You probably won't get anything.

No, but I can hope and pray. And maybe I might get an embroidered hot water

bottle.

What's going on in here? Am I missing something?

The major announcing himself.

I am about to commence reading your poor dear grandmother's will.

Oh, why is everyone so eager about this will?

We all have more money than we can possibly spend.

Why don't you give grandmother's fortune to the other relatives?

Everybody step into the library at once. I'll stand for no nonsense or delay.

Girls?

The same to you, Major.

Well, I think all the relatives are present.

Ladies, the berries.

So these are the berries. You mean this is the berries.

Gentlemen, be seated.

Looks like a minstrel show.

Now, we will see what we will see.

Now, we will see what we will get.

It was just as I expected. The dear old lady remembered exactly what everybody

wanted. I thought of that.

In fact, she even left Betty $5 ,000.

Well... That'll buy a roadster and a fur coat.

Sarah, you get the villa at Newport.

Catherine, the Lakewood place.

I get the Southport stables and the wine cellar.

Magnificent, eh?

How could she give a wine cellar to a prohibitionist? Well, that'll give him a

chance to raid his own place now.

My dear niece.

My very dear niece.

You surely don't mean me.

I most certainly do.

To my beloved granddaughter, Ann Harper Berry, I leave the Franklin Berry

Mansion in Westchester, my grandmother Flora's pearls, and securities to yield

an annual income of $70 ,000.

You mean... You mean she left Ann the pearls?

Mm -hmm.

Well, she has this house.

She can't live in two houses. It wouldn't be very decent.

Besides, the perils are too big for a young girl with all the strangling

going on nowadays.

Quiet, quiet. There is more.

The properties and securities shall pass into her temporary possession the day

following her marriage and become absolute on the death of her husband.

Tell me, Major, does the will say the natural death of my husband?

Yeah, so it does. So it does.

Yeah, I knew it.

I'm even deprived of the satisfaction of a good, honest murder.

My dear niece.

I don't want to hear another word. It is my duty to finish reading your poor

dear grandmother's will. Well, go ahead, but I'm not interested.

And wishing that my grandchild shall marry a man of the very finest type, I

hereby appoint her uncle Major Rupert Harper and her aunts... Sarah and

Catherine Harper as guardians to pass judgment on the man of her choice.

Oh, a jury, just like a beauty show or a baby contest.

And without their two -thirds consent, she cannot marry at all under the terms

of the will.

Well, that's lovely, because the one thing in the world I don't want to do is

get married.

Moreover, none of the other beneficiaries of this will shall receive

the inheritance until the marriage of my granddaughter Anne Harper Berry is

consummated.

Furthermore,

the heirs shall enjoy these bequests only so long as no scandal...

concerning any member of the family shall appear in any newspaper. Scandal?

Newspaper? In such an event, the entire estate shall pass to the possession of

the Riverside Cat and Dog Hospital. I think that's very personal.

My dear aunt and uncle, you all have more money than you can possibly spend.

And in order to gain even more, you wish to force me into an unwilling marriage.

Well, you won't.

Because I'm going to give this family a scandal that will make the cats and dogs

independent for the rest of their lives.

Well, I'll be dead.

How do you get into the newspaper?

I don't.

I've been lucky.

Yes, I know that.

But I mean, how do you suppose I might get in?

First get yourself a man.

Then a reporter.

And leave the rest to the typesetter.

Well, where am I going to get the man?

Daisy, there are lots of professional escorts.

If you'll help me get in a scandal, I'll see that you get your fur coat and

roadster anyway.

That's a bargain. Shake.

Okay. Well, I'm homeward bound.

Say, what's your plan?

New York World?

Advertising department, please.

Yes, classified.

Hello, I want to put an ad in your paper for tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Wanted. One young man.

Must be young and good -looking and unscrupulous.

No, no, unscrupulous.

Yes.

Expense, no odds.

Sela, beware.

Sela, take care.

Danger is near thee.

Beware.

Beware.

Beware.

am I able to cut my throat? If you do, can I have the razor?

As a singer, you're a tremendous dancer.

Don't even mention dancing.

Well, you come home from a tough day at the office, then struggle into one of

those monkey suits and rush some kittenish old dame around on a dance

Andy, we picked out the worst sideline in the world, didn't we? We sure did.

This being a professional escort has got me down.

Same here.

At that, we're better off than Gil.

He isn't even a good professional escort.

What a world.

Now, there's Gil. A fine, intelligent, hard -working kid.

And he can't even get a job.

You know, the kid's desperate.

He'd do most anything, but he just hasn't the heart to get into this

Fellas, I heard what you said.

And it's all true.

I won't be hanging on much longer.

Oh, don't worry, kid.

Everything's going to be all right.

Listen, Gilly old kid, being a professional escort isn't such a bad

Once you take one of these old battle axes for a whirl around the dance floor,

you'll find that whatever they pay you, it's not enough.

Honest, fella, I wish I could.

as an example of what a college education will do to you.

Poor kid.

Well, I wonder if anybody's been born today that I know.

Suffering tadpole drunkards.

What happened? Did you discover a new beauty spot? And how, right here in the

paper. Father, put on your specs, because little Nell is going to take the

mortgage off the farm.

Well, I'll be... You reading the help wanted column?

This bathing has gone to your head.

Wanted. One young man. Must be young, attractive, and unscrupulous.

Next, women and children first.

must be young, attractive, and unscrupulous.

Well, that's me.

Now, wait a minute. I saw this first. This job is mine if I have to go like

this. Now, listen, pal.

We'll flip for it.

Well, all right.

Heads, I win.

Say, Terry, I think that nickel was tails.

Andy, I don't think this job was meant for either one of us.

Maybe not for you, but it was made to order for me. You know, you and I can

by on our loose ankles.

But that kid in there, he doesn't know which way to turn.

Let's give the job to him.

Terry, you're right.

But will he go after it?

He'll go if we have to carry him.

I'll lend him my new suit, and I'll give him a shirt and tie a bind. Swell.

But wait.

What about Lynn? Not a word.

If that cutthroat hears about this, he'd hop in and grab it for himself.

Hello, Linton. Hi, buddy.

Say, Goldfish, you gonna use this bathroom all day?

Would you like me to draw your ball, Mr. Linton?

Get out.

Give me that paper.

Nothing doing. I'm reading advice to the loved one myself.

Who wiped their shoes on this last clean towel?

That's not a towel. That's crepe.

Who's dead?

You are. From the neck up.

Funny.

Why, aren't you the early bird this morning?

Yes. I'm expecting a worm.

A what, miss?

A man, Agnes. Just a man.

Ah, men.

Yes, they're all worms, miss.

Good gracious.

You must have a secret sorrow to speak that way of men.

Well, it's not exactly a secret sorrow, Miss. I tell everybody about it.

You don't mean to say that you've been in a compromising position.

Well, the position wasn't so bad.

But the circumstances were again me.

What if she's old and awfully homely? Forget her face.

Concentrate on her bank account.

I'd only do this for you and Terry, Andy.

Good morning.

Are you Mr. Worm? I beg your pardon?

Are you a man?

I... I think so.

I came in answer to this ad.

Oh, you want to see Miss Ann. So let in, sir.

You came in answer to the advertisement?

Yes. You, uh... Have you any references?

I mean, uh... Are you sure you are as unscrupulous as you say you are?

Oh, I haven't said anything yet.

But I'm sure I am.

Oh. You, uh... You don't mind being compromised?

Oh, no, no.

Have you been compromised before?

Of course.

Well, uh...

What type of compromising do you specialize in?

Plain or fancy?

Both.

Which do you prefer?

Well, the sort that would get into the newspapers, so they could have headlines

like this.

A man of mystery compromises debutante.

You mean to be caught in a... in a...

An affectionate embrace?

Exactly. We haven't much time, you know, so we'd better get right down to

business. You mean to start now?

Right now.

How's

this?

So far, so good.

What do I do next?

Why? I suppose you really ought to kiss me.

Would you pardon me for a moment, please?

Of course.

You'll never get into the newspaper that way.

You've got to take his clothes off.

What? His clothes off.

Oh, Agnes.

Do you mean... Do you mean all of them?

Well, as many as you can, Miss.

Well, this is a new experience for me.

But I'll try.

I'm afraid I'll have to be leaving.

Oh, but you can't leave.

I... You see, I have an appointment with my tailor.

You see, my coat's torn.

That's perfect.

What are you going to do? I'm going to have your coat picked.

Agnes!

Look, your tie.

There's marmalade all over it. But I never eat marmalade. Perhaps it's orange

jam. Nevertheless, we'll fix that, too.

Agnes, sew this coat and have the marmalade taken off that tie.

Listen.

Put these clothes in the closet and lock it up and throw the key out of the

window.

What'll I do next?

Take off those pants.

I couldn't. Throw yourself in his arms, hang on tight, and leave the rest to me.

All right.

Well, what do I do now?

Kiss me again.

Something awful has happened.

My suspenders broke.

My. That is too bad.

There's one of the buttons.

Oh, Agnes, don't.

Something else has happened.

What else could happen? Let me help you. Oh, no, no.

It'll be all right, sir.

Stop it, I tell you. Stop it. Let's be honest, there's still everything that's

torn in the house.

You mustn't mind Agnes. She's only trying to help you. But I'll catch my

of cold.

Here,

put this on. It may help.

Agnes, what did you do with them? When I get through with those pants to vest,

I'll never know them. Oh, Agnes, come here.

I think you'd better stay here.

I don't think you'll be needing me, Miss, from now on.

Do you still feel cold?

I don't know. I feel hot and cold all over at the same time.

I don't know. What's the matter with me?

Well, we have no time to lose.

So we'd better get back to our compromising position.

I'd rather not.

Oh, but the reporters will be here any minute.

Reporters? What for?

Why, to write up the scandal and to take our pictures.

Pictures like this?

Certainly.

I'd better go.

Oh, but why?

I'm sorry.

I have a confession to make.

I'm not a real professional compromiser.

You're not?

No. I'm just a fake, a phony, and a failure.

No, honest.

I don't know what it's all about.

I came here under a false impression.

But now that I've seen you, I wish it could be all undone.

You mean you wish you'd never come here? Is that it? No.

The moment I saw you, a strange feeling came over me.

And I felt that way, too.

I felt like I'd known you forever.

I felt that way, too.

Oh, I knew this was all wrong.

This mad, silly idea of mine would come to no good.

Can you ever forgive me?

I could just go on forgiving you forever and ever and ever.

Hooray! I think the reporters are here, Miss Anne.

What do we do?

Agnes, it's closing time. Quick.

But you told me to throw the key out of the window. Did you? But you told me to.

Well, find the key. Quick.

I think you better hide someplace.

But where's my necktie? Oh, never mind your necktie.

Oh, it's only you.

Yeah, I'm just a forerunner. The asthma sisters and Uncle Snort are right behind

me.

Ah, my dear second aunties, you're just in time.

Please leave Betty and I alone for a moment. We've something we must

out. Oh, no, you don't. You're not going to drag me into your illicit

adventures.

Illicit adventures?

Ah,

the bugle call.

What's this I heard? Who is having illicit adventures?

Anne has.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. Silence, Catherine.

I'll handle this. Sarah?

Explain what's going on here.

I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

And I'm going to start by searching the house.

No,

no, please.

Why not?

Well... Oh, Betty, tell them the truth.

Well... Well, Ann promised me a fur coat and a roaster. If I promised not to

tell, did she? Did she? Oh, I won't tell.

Betty, I'll give you a fur coat, a roaster, and a police dog if you will

And you can have the best horse in my stable. And I'll give you a pattern of

wristwatching to step in.

A fur coat and a roaster and a dog? A horse? A wristwatch and a pair of step

-ins? Oh, how can I resist all this?

I will tell.

Listen, there's been a man in this house.

All night.

You

purple

woman. You lavender

woman. You all the colors of the rainbow.

You rainbow.

Young woman, get away from there.

Open this door.

Open this door.

Open it. Come on, help me, girls. Open this door. Open this door. Open the

I'll help you.

It's true.

Who are you, sir?

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

It's none of your business.

What? Don't tell me you're waiting for a streetcar.

It is my business, sir.

You viper.

You scoundrel.

You flirt. He's not.

He's not at all.

Silence. You have no right to speak. You have betrayed us all. But there is a

way out. The breath of scandal shall not contaminate us because of your

misdeeds. You shall make atonement and rescue our good names at the same time.

Well, what do you mean?

You must marry this fella.

No. No.

I found out you're a couple of fine fools.

Who has been to the fortune tellers?

Know who this Barry woman is you stared Gill up against?

Tell us, cutie.

I figured she was probably some half -witted old hag.

But she's young, good -looking, and just inherited a couple of million in the

famous Flora Barry Pearl.

Sounds like a bedtime story.

Well, it's no bedtime story to me.

And I've got a scheme. If it works, look out.

I've decided to take a long shot at the Flora Berry girls.

The uncle's name's the same as mine, Harper. Thought it ought to crash the

for me.

You're not going to pull any rough stuff?

If I have to, yes.

I'm sick of living in a dump like this and grafting my meals from a lot of cow

-faced women.

Hey, what do you got against cows?

Oh, bull.

Hooray! For once he got the right answer.

Ho, ho, ho!

Say, those pearls are going to look terrible on you.

You know, Andy, I've got a hunch Gil made good.

Still looks good to me.

Hey, what's the matter? You look sick.

You've been hiding in doorways and dodging policemen all day.

You'd be sick, too.

Let's get him a doctor. Let's get him a drink.

Where's my coat?

I lost it.

Suffering cats. Why, my ticket for the circus cafe was in it.

Oh, give me that.

This is pre -war stuff. It's so old, it's rotten.

Thanks, Andy.

I'm all right. Really, I am. Sure, you look it. Well, come on. What was the

game?

Maybe it was a game.

And I just didn't know how to play it. But the dame, what was she like?

Lynn said she was a pit.

She's wonderful.

Listen, kid.

Tell me all about it. What happened?

Well, we talk, and we seem to understand each other.

She's wonderful.

Yeah, I got that before.

Go on.

Well, then, I can't remember very clearly, but a lot of terrible people

and they said that I compromised her. But the ad in the paper, didn't you want

to be compromised?

Yes.

Yes, I guess she did at first.

But then something happened.

She fell for you, isn't that it?

Well... Sure, it's a thing. And then what?

Then an awful old man came in and called me terrible names.

And he said... What?

He said, I have to marry her.

And what did you say?

I...

I jumped out the window.

But Ann, darling, can't you do anything about it?

I'm afraid not.

I don't even know who he is or where to find him.

His pockets are empty except for this ticket to some place called the Circus

Cafe.

Hmm. Grand opening of the Circus Cafe.

Wild, wicked, and loopy -ish. Beautiful girls in daring costumes.

Hmm.

I wonder where I could find him.

Let's go to the Circus Cafe. We might find him there.

That's an idea.

A great one. It's a wonderful idea.

But it's no good.

Ladies without escort, not admitted.

I wonder who we could get to take us.

A Mr.

Hopper, who claims to be a relative.

Ah, this might be the answer to a maiden's prayer.

Pardon me. Are you the young lady who advertised in the paper?

Well? Here I am.

Notice. Young.

Attractive. And unscrupulous.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Are you really a relative?

No, but it served to get me in.

What can I do for two such charming ladies?

Well, as long as you insist upon being employed, your first duty is to take us

to the grand opening of the Circus Cafe.

Agnes, our wrap.

I'm glad this household is peaceful and quiet again.

Anne must have come to her senses at last.

I'm quite sure she has. Don't worry. By morning, she'll come around to our way

of thinking as usual.

Police headquarters.

Inspector Blake, please.

Will you be late, Smith? You started.

We're going to the opening of the Circus Cafe, and we're going to be wild,

wicked, and whoopee. Anne, how?

This is Major Harper speaking.

Are your men all set to raid this circus cafe?

Hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, ten o 'clock will be all right. I'll be over immediately.

Splendid, Rupert. And if you don't mind my saying it, I hope you arrest everyone

in the place. People that go to a place like that deserve to be arrested.

You're right.

Good night.

Good night.

Have you your handkerchief?

He has.

Agnes. Is Miss Anne in her room? No, Miss. She went out.

With Betty?

Yes, Miss.

And a handsome gentleman.

Did she say where she was going? Yes, Miss.

She went to a cafe.

The Circus Cafe, Miss.

to have a wild and whoopish time.

Oh, that's the place the Major is going to raid.

Just another one of her plans to break the will. But we'll spoil it in spite of

everything. Agnes, our hats and coats immediately.

Mine also.

Oh, we've got to find this place, dear. Do you suppose we can?

A place of ill repute.

Anybody would know where it was. Oh, one of my attacks is coming on, dear.

Permit me to introduce the Grand Arena Spectacle and Parade.

Everybody look this way. Hip hooray, circus day. The clowns are on parade.

Here's a show that cannot flop.

Buy your peanuts and your pop. Drink up your red lemonade.

Let's start.

Open it up. Open it up.

Here's your ticket, Gil.

You go ahead in and wait for us.

Well, I don't want to go in without you, fellas. We'll be along in a minute.

We've some official business to attend to.

Go ahead.

All right.

First we have the acrobats in death defying stunts. If they fall down and go

boom, they only fall down once.

Here we have the ballet dancers dancing on their toes.

If they lose their skirts, then it will be the show of toes.

Tigers, lions, leopards from across the distant seas.

Over there you'll see a monkey looking for some fleas.

Bareback riders, happy daughters, you don't know the house.

Here's some happy paliacis who will make you laugh.

Pardon me, who's the owner of this place?

Why, Mr.

Morgan. That's the fellow. He invited us here as a special guest.

Wait just a minute.

I'm going to let you boys in on something.

I'm Mr.

Morgan.

Our mistake.

Must have been another place.

Yes, and another night.

But ladies without escort are not permitted.

I'm with her.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

You don't look sorry to me.

Gracious, what will we do for escort?

Catherine, we must get in. Did I hear you ladies say you must get in? Well,

makes it mutual.

Let me examine your ticket, please.

Just as I thought.

What did you say this lady's name was?

This is my sister, Miss Catherine Harper.

Miss Catherine Harper, meet Mr. Terry Todd. Mr. Todd, Miss Catherine Harper.

what did you say your sister's name was?

Her sister's name is Sarah.

Miss Sarah Harper, Mr. Annie Martin. Mr. Annie Martin, Miss Sarah Harper.

What do you do? Miss Sarah Harper, meet Mr. Terry Todd. Mr. Terry Todd, Sarah

Harper. And Miss Catherine Harper, Mr. Annie Martin. Mr. Annie Martin, Miss

Sarah Harper. What do you do? Miss Catherine Harper, meet Miss Sarah

Mr. Todd, my name's Martin.

Well, let's go make whoopies.

Good evening, Mr. Morgan. Oh, a ticket.

Hello, Morg.

All right, girls.

Park the bodies.

Pardon me?

Sit down.

We don't wish to sit down. We're looking for someone.

Why look any further? Here we are.

We're looking for our niece.

Well, all the nieces dance right by here.

Uh, squatty -boo.

Squatty -what?

Boo, us and French.

Uh, have a cigarette?

Don't start that, young man.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

What'll you have?

What have you got?

We have some great punch.

Punch?

Great!

That's four punches. And make each punch a knockout.

Come on, Romeo, let's dance, huh?

You'd better dance, Annie.

No, thank you. I'd rather walk.

Pardon.

Pretty warm, he might as well cool off.

Delicious!

Hey, my fast friend.

I thought I pickled your teeth.

Didn't realize I was the one thirsty.

Is

this

yours?

I thought it was mine.

Oh,

big

boy, what are you doing here all alone? Come on, let's dance.

I'd rather not.

Well, you're going to dance whether you want to or not.

You know, for a moment I thought that floor was moving.

Yours is the one with the girly laughter.

Catherine, you're getting silly.

So maybe it was my stigma.

Well, there's Gil.

I'll tell him where we are. Oh, Gil?

know you were married.

What are you doing here?

Say,

if you want us, we're sitting right over there.

Oh, don't I get an introduction?

This has been Miss Berry I was telling you about.

Came the dawn?

Well, pardon my hasty exit to see you all of a sudden.

What are you doing here?

Why, I came to look for someone I couldn't forget.

What are you doing here?

I came to forget someone I never thought I'd see again.

Tell me, why did you run away?

I was afraid your uncle would make you marry me.

Oh.

Would that be so terrible?

Not as so far as I was concerned.

Well, what are you thinking about?

Isn't the music lovely?

Would you like to dance?

No, I'd rather sit.

Oh, pardon us for not knocking.

Well, if it isn't Lindbergh.

The last time I saw you, you were flying out of a window.

Have you still got your pants on backwards?

Betty, I want you to meet Mr... Gail Hayden.

I don't need an introduction to that guy.

Oh, you've met him before?

Oh,

look what's here.

Give me a hand.

I don't like this hat.

Don't get in a hurry.

What's in this drink anyway?

It's full of peruna.

Do they make it out of peruna?

Kitty Spank.

You wouldn't be mean to little Terry, would you?

Terry, this hurts me more than it does you.

Oh, don't take it to the heart, Kitty.

You're too...

General Motors is doing today.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha,

ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha,

ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha,

ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha,

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

I've got to hold it tight. I'll sneak up on it. There you

are.

You got it.

Hasn't had a chance to worry yet. For a reason, why?

Not more.

Are you all right?

That's a rabbit.

That's a loose thing.

Are we having fun?

We should worry.

I should worry.

I should worry.

Oh, now, Sally, don't feel that way.

Forget it. I guess you do think that all we use is rouge and smoked cigarettes,

don't you?

Now, now, you girls aren't nearly as bad as you look. You couldn't.

You know,

everything is just serene and heavenly.

Tonight's been just like a dream.

If you wanted a chaperone, why didn't you advertise for one?

You couldn't even make good at that.

Are you going through with this scandal proposition you made to me or not?

No, I've changed my mind.

Haven't you?

Yes.

What are you butting into this thing for?

That's just what I was going to ask you.

I'll tell you darn quick if it weren't for these... Ladies and gentlemen.

Permit me to introduce Rita and...

World famous the dojo dancers.

In the dance of the leopard and the trainer.

Bigger, better, greater than...

After a while.

Andy, all my life I wanted to be a dancer. I could go butterfly.

But somebody will be picking you up in the net. You don't want to do that. A

hair dance?

Oh, I'm going to dance.

I'm going to dance. I can do it. This is plain.

You get up there. Not now. After a while. I mean, they don't like you to

here. After a while.

There'll be nothing left to say. Oh, get up there now. Get me down. What is your

mother going to say about this? Have a heart.

Trying to put on a wrestling mask. Oh, so that's the kind of a place this is.

You never can tell.

Says you.

Says I.

that give this place a bad reputation, I won't stand for it.

You may strike whenever you're ready.

I'll wait for you outside.

looking for.

Just look pretty and maybe some copper will pick you up. No, no, please.

We're not going to have any scandals. Are we, Gil? No, we're not.

Let's find a way out of here. Follow me.

I'm home.

If we don't, we'll all go to jail.

The dump is raided.

Oh, saving, saving.

No, wait. Don't get excited.

Don't look at me. Wait a minute. I've got an idea. What? Take this.

Come here. Come here.

Do something.

What is it?

Take off that hat.

Well, how are you going to do something? It's not going to bother him. I just

hold perfectly still. The police will tell. All right.

I'll get you out of here. I'll get you out of here. Fix her up.

Certainly was a smart idea, wasn't it? You said it.

That woman.

Won't anybody find this out?

How I ever got here in my sober senses.

More than I know.

And you're what?

No chance here.

There's a cop down below.

I'll take care of the cop.

You get the girls away.

Where's Gil?

Oh, he ran away like a dirty dog.

Why? I don't believe it. Say, this is no time to argue.

Let's beat it.

There goes Lent with Gil's girl. I seem to detect a faint odor of banana oil.

That palooka's trying to beat Gil's time.

Me thinks there is dirty work at the crossroads.

Let's go.

If Gil loved you, he wouldn't have run away.

I tell you, he'll never come back.

What about that proposition of ours?

I'll send you a check in the morning.

You better make up your mind before I go. I've made up my mind.

You know, somehow, I have an idea that he will come back.

That's what I call a darn good idea.

What do you two gentlemen want? We'd like to see Miss Perry. It's very

important. I'll tell her you're here.

Follow me.

This will be a good trick if we do it. We've got to do it.

Oh, good evening, gentlemen.

Good evening.

Where is Miss Berry? She's in there.

Alone? Oh, no.

She's with a dark, handsome gentleman who's trying to talk her in or out of

something. She means Linton. We've got to stop him from going any further.

Would you mind telling me what business this is of yours? Now, listen, lady. We

know this dark, handsome gentleman, and he's a bad boy.

And we don't mean perhaps.

Hello, Chisler.

Listen, Miss Berry.

You're about to do something. I don't know what, but whatever it is, don't do

it. Who are these men? I never saw them before in my life. Now, who do you

expect to believe that?

Won't you please tell me what this is all about?

I imagine it's a clumsy attempt to blackmail. Blackmail you? And we've been

lending him money to get his laundry out of park.

These men are a couple of escaped lunatics or something.

I'll give you the real lowdown.

This drugstore cowboy is trying to steal you away from a kid who really loves

you. But we're not going to let him get away with it. Not if I have to...

Say, honey, what are they trying to do to you? Nothing, kid. Just saving her a

lot of grief and heartbreak.

What do these fellas want here?

Oh, I don't know. It doesn't matter anyway.

Nothing matters as long as you're here. You didn't run away, did you? No.

I just battled a cop till you could get away.

I came here as fast as I could.

What's going on?

Nothing much now, but we hope wedding bells later on.

Ridiculous, ridiculous.

Yes, ridiculous, but deliciously true.

Well, I can't believe it. You mean to say you love this, this... Certainly I

love him. Oh, if you ask me, I'll ask no one. I don't know who you gentlemen are

and I don't care, but I want you to know that without my consent and that of my

two sisters, she cannot marry anyone.

But, sir, you wanted me to marry her this morning. Why have you changed your

mind? She can marry no one unless my sisters and I approve of them, and I do

approve of you.

Married? Married?

What is all this about?

Sally! Kitty!

Listen, old man, do you know these two flappers? These ladies, sir, are my

sisters. Your sisters? Yes, sir. Well, that's just dandy. Terry, find him a

cushion to land on.

Well, let's go, girls.

Now, then.

You two ladies have a niece, haven't you?

Yes.

Thank you.

And your niece is going to marry my boyfriend, isn't she?

Yes.

Thank you.

And you two haven't the least objection in the world, have you?

No.

Thank you.

Well, then, now that's all settled, the two often say yes.

Well, I don't understand.

Sarah, Catherine, what's come over you? You don't have to understand. That's one

of the advantages of being dumb.

And now we seem to be intruding upon the happy couple.

So let's choose our partners for the grand march to be led by that queen of

bathing beauties, Miss Oil City.

And now, followed by the happiness girls.

We're disgraced.

Come on, girls.

And their train seal.

I won't be called a train seal.

Throw them a fish.

Well, that looks like a rodeo.

Congratulations, you two darlings.

Thanks, Betty.

Can I drive you two cupids home?

You promised to keep both hands on the wheel.

Well, goodbye, kids, and bless you and all that other junk.
