00:00:00The End
00:00:30Hey, Stony!
00:00:31Oh, boy.
00:00:34Hey, wait.
00:00:49Hey!
00:00:54Hey, wait.
00:00:55Hey, come on, hey, wait, don't hit so hard.
00:00:58Take it easy.
00:00:59All right, I'll swing easy, then.
00:01:01All right, come on, let's go.
00:01:02Come on, let's see it.
00:01:03And what are you backing up for?
00:01:04Who are you waving at?
00:01:05And what are you practicing for your wrestlers?
00:01:07What is that, a hundred-yard dash?
00:01:09What a sad case.
00:01:10Hey, Gloopy, why don't you get me a partner that'll spar?
00:01:13Champ, you know no spar partner will get in a ring,
00:01:15wouldn't you, the minute they're in their row?
00:01:17Eh, pretty tough, I guess.
00:01:18Why, you'll hit that kid from the west side so hard,
00:01:21you'll knock it from the north side to the south side.
00:01:23Get in there and give him a few rounds.
00:01:25A classical rider, get up on your feet.
00:01:28All right, but take it easy, Muggs, you know I'm your pal.
00:01:30Just throw a few jabs at me, that's what I got to rehearse with.
00:01:32All right, take it easy, Bill.
00:01:33Hey, come on.
00:01:34Hey, come on.
00:01:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, cut out the fisticuffs,
00:01:37especially you, Muggs.
00:01:40I want to rehearse a little more.
00:01:41He's got a very important fight tomorrow night.
00:01:43Yeah, yeah, I know, but listen here,
00:01:44there's a brand new pool player down at Nick's.
00:01:47Boy, he's just loaded with that stuff called money.
00:01:49And, buddy, he's just dying for somebody to come
00:01:52and take it away from us.
00:01:53Is he picking, sir?
00:01:54Yes, ma'am.
00:01:55What's the lad's name?
00:01:56I didn't get a name, but it sounded like something like Harry, somebody.
00:02:00I want you to go in and fight a couple more rounds.
00:02:02Yeah, I want you in shape tomorrow night.
00:02:03Muggs is in great shape, aren't you, Muggs?
00:02:05Shut up, cock. I'm the manager. I'll tell the one he's in shape.
00:02:08Quit the gargling, Glimpy.
00:02:10The fight's tomorrow night. The Reddy Cash is waiting now.
00:02:12Sarge will fight and need some rest and relaxation, don't he?
00:02:15Boys, get my pool room formal.
00:02:16Why don't you put on your socks?
00:02:17No shape on.
00:02:18Hey, Danny's got that phony chalk.
00:02:21Where is Danny, anyway?
00:02:22You ought to know. Ivy's your sister.
00:02:24First thing you know, Danny will be your brother-in-law.
00:02:27Anybody that marries my sister has to lick me first.
00:02:44We still haven't got that right.
00:02:45Will you show me how you do it?
00:02:46Hey, kids, why don't you put this in your routine?
00:02:50Hey, Danny!
00:02:54Hey, what's cooking up there?
00:02:55Maybe he's up there doing a Kozatsky with your sister.
00:02:57Kozatsky, my front plates.
00:02:59Hey, Danny!
00:03:02How you doing?
00:03:02I think so.
00:03:03It'll be good.
00:03:04Let's try it.
00:03:05Okay.
00:03:06Hey, Danny!
00:03:09What's brewing up there?
00:03:13Hiya, Mons.
00:03:14Hiya, fellas.
00:03:15Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
00:03:16You're not just practicing up for the big dance contest.
00:03:18Come on up and watch us.
00:03:19No, Pablo.
00:03:20Will you come down?
00:03:21I want to practice up on you a little bit.
00:03:22Okay.
00:03:23I'll be right down.
00:03:24Yeah.
00:03:25I'll leave Ivy there.
00:03:28Boy's got a brilliant future.
00:03:29Swell fella.
00:03:32We'll have to finish our practicing later, Ivy.
00:03:34I've got to go with the fellas.
00:03:35Okay, Danny.
00:03:36So long.
00:03:36So long.
00:03:39I wonder what's keeping that great hero I heard so much about.
00:03:42He'll be here.
00:03:43Muggs can hear that money jingle in your pockets miles away.
00:03:49Hey, Muggs!
00:03:51Get a load of that!
00:03:52Don't cover it up.
00:03:54That's the way I like to see it.
00:03:55My name first.
00:03:56Yeah, but that makes you the challenger.
00:03:58Just a natural born point killer, ain't you?
00:03:59You know, my father once had his name on a thing like that.
00:04:02Yeah, I wanted.
00:04:02Dead or alive, reward two cents.
00:04:04Hey, Muggs!
00:04:05Muggs!
00:04:06Your man was in there waiting.
00:04:07Pardon me, Slim.
00:04:10Man, he sure looks anxious.
00:04:12You sure you got that chalk, Danny?
00:04:14Yeah, but you won't need it, Muggs.
00:04:15You can beat him on the level.
00:04:16There's no percentage in that.
00:04:18When I give you the signal, you change that chalk.
00:04:23Hiya, Nick.
00:04:23How's the trust fund?
00:04:24Hello, boys.
00:04:26Hello there, sucker.
00:04:27So you're the champ around here, huh?
00:04:29That's me.
00:04:29How'd you like a few lessons?
00:04:30I might condesend to teach you to find the points of the game.
00:04:32For a nominal consideration.
00:04:34Yeah, even for money.
00:04:35Your line of chatter is very impressive, Jack.
00:04:37Your name is Muggs.
00:04:39I'm sorry.
00:04:40Muggs.
00:04:41What do you say we just play a nice sociable game for about five bucks?
00:04:45What are you going to use for money?
00:04:46Cigar store coupons?
00:04:48You'll have to talk to my treasurer about that.
00:04:50Don't worry, Elsie.
00:04:50Did you get your money?
00:04:52What am I saying?
00:04:52Go ahead.
00:04:53Grab a cue.
00:04:54I don't need no cue.
00:04:54I'll kick him in.
00:04:56Hey, scruno.
00:04:57Get my weapon.
00:04:58Solid.
00:05:00Don't forget when I give you the high sign, remember that chalk.
00:05:03All right.
00:05:04This will be brutal.
00:05:09I don't want no handicaps.
00:05:10Let's toss for the break.
00:05:11Sure.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:15You got a coin?
00:05:16Nothing but big bills here.
00:05:19What do you cry?
00:05:20Heads.
00:05:21You break.
00:05:22Did I say heads?
00:05:23Yeah, you said heads.
00:05:24It's your artillery, Muggs.
00:05:25Thanks, scruno.
00:05:27Watch this shot.
00:05:29A little safety.
00:05:29I taught Greenleaf.
00:05:36Go ahead.
00:05:37Shoot, mister.
00:05:49That's a great shot.
00:05:50Where'd you learn that one?
00:05:52You better get that dough ready, McGinnis.
00:05:54If I sink these next four balls, you're through.
00:05:55You ain't got them yet.
00:06:06What are you stalling for?
00:06:08His luck will run out soon, Muggs.
00:06:10Then he can win on the level.
00:06:11Don't give me that routine.
00:06:12Change that chalk as fast as you can.
00:06:15Nice throw, kid.
00:06:18This is game ball, you know.
00:06:19Yeah?
00:06:19Where's it going?
00:06:21Down the end.
00:06:22Up the mystic, aren't you?
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26Come on.
00:06:26Get clear, will you?
00:06:32Keep your eye on it, fellas.
00:06:36Well, that's it.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:38Pay off.
00:06:39Thanks, Danny.
00:06:40I should make you pay the five.
00:06:42Come on.
00:06:42Where's the dough?
00:06:43What dough?
00:06:44That was just a practice game.
00:06:45That's all.
00:06:45Just a practice game, wasn't it?
00:06:46You're pretty brave with this gang around here.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:48Get that dough up.
00:06:49What dough?
00:06:49The five bucks.
00:06:50You want the five?
00:06:51Yeah, I want the five.
00:06:52How about these bucks?
00:06:53Oh, oh, kid, you're not in condition.
00:06:55I'll see you later.
00:06:56Hey, look, how about my money?
00:06:57Just put it in the book.
00:06:58I'll trust you.
00:06:59Gee, I'm sorry, fella.
00:07:13He just lost his temper.
00:07:14Don't worry.
00:07:15He won't get away with this.
00:07:16He's not so tough.
00:07:17And I'll get my money, too.
00:07:19I hope that fella on fighting tonight falls up that easy.
00:07:23Oh, forget about it.
00:07:24He's OK.
00:07:25You'll get your dough.
00:07:26Darn right, I'll get my dough.
00:07:27Look at Danny in there talking about a pool shark.
00:07:30I bet they're in cahoots.
00:07:31Hey, fellas, who's going to pay for that game?
00:07:34Well, Muggs said he trusted you for it, didn't he?
00:07:37That's right.
00:07:37He did say that.
00:07:39He's honest, that boy.
00:07:43You shouldn't have hit him, Muggs.
00:07:45He wasn't set.
00:07:46He wasn't set, huh?
00:07:47Why didn't you change that chalk?
00:07:48Well, I...
00:07:49Well, I what?
00:07:50You're yellow.
00:07:50That's why you didn't change it.
00:07:52I'm not yellow.
00:07:53I thought you could win on the level.
00:07:54You know, I'm beginning to figure something out.
00:07:57Why I won a championship last year and you were just a runner-up?
00:07:59Because you haven't got what it takes, that's why.
00:08:02You won that on the square, didn't you?
00:08:04Ah, stop beating around the bush.
00:08:06I'm leaving, fellas.
00:08:07This jellyfish is giving me indigestion.
00:08:10You work me.
00:08:11The only thing I can't stand is a narc.
00:08:17What?
00:08:17Dog races?
00:08:18Nah, nah, we ain't got any more dog races.
00:08:21They're rabbit eyes.
00:08:22All right.
00:08:25What's on your mind, kid?
00:08:26I got a tip for you, Tony.
00:08:28You got a tip for me, huh?
00:08:30You know the amateur championship fight tomorrow night?
00:08:32East side versus West side?
00:08:34Now, don't tell me you're giving me a tip on McGinnis.
00:08:37We've had McGinnis on the nose.
00:08:39Yeah, but you're giving odds.
00:08:42What are you driving at?
00:08:43Suppose I tell you I got a way of keeping that McGinnis out of the ring tomorrow night.
00:08:47All right, McGinnis don't show up.
00:08:49What about the switch in the yard?
00:08:51If I know that neighborhood and that West side Kid Johnson,
00:08:55your money will be riding a town betting against the East side.
00:09:01Sounds wacky, but...
00:09:04Maybe he's got some.
00:09:05Maybe he has.
00:09:07Now, here's what I'll need for my end of the deal.
00:09:09There's three things we got to get, see?
00:09:11That's the one that's going to get him, Ma.
00:09:14You know, this is just the way I'm going to look when I come home tonight.
00:09:16Untouched by human hands.
00:09:17That's the spirit, son.
00:09:18You sure you don't want to go, Ma?
00:09:19There ain't going to be no blood, much.
00:09:20No, I think I'll stay and listen to the radio.
00:09:22Danny and I will be right there rooting for you, Muggs.
00:09:24You mean hooting for me, don't you?
00:09:25I may be a little late, Ma.
00:09:26You know, speeches and testimonials and stuff like that.
00:09:28How about a little kiss for luck?
00:09:29Thanks.
00:09:30I'll be right there rooting for you, Muggs.
00:09:32You mean hooting for me, don't you?
00:09:33I may be a little late, Ma.
00:09:34You know, speeches and testimonials and stuff like that.
00:09:36How about a little kiss for luck?
00:09:38Thanks.
00:09:42I sure hope Muggs wins.
00:09:44What do you mean hope?
00:09:46I'm a Guinness never lost a fight.
00:09:48That's right.
00:09:49That's right.
00:10:06Hold it, Muggs.
00:10:07What's the beef, Chief?
00:10:08Publicity picture.
00:10:09Oh, pictures, huh?
00:10:10Well, let's get a good pose.
00:10:11I'm from the Bulletin, Muggs.
00:10:13I figured I'd take in a few pictures before you win tonight.
00:10:15You know, once you get to the arena,
00:10:16the newspaper man and the cameraman,
00:10:17why, they'll steal you right away.
00:10:19I figured I'd get a couple in front of your house.
00:10:21That's for the newspapers, huh?
00:10:22Sure, the Bulletin.
00:10:23See that sign up there?
00:10:24Yeah.
00:10:25Muggs, McGinnis, boss, Hank Johnson.
00:10:27Yeah.
00:10:28Well, focus that right in the middle of your lamp.
00:10:30And let's get a good picture.
00:10:31Okay, anything you say, champ.
00:10:33I'll show you how I'm going to look after I win this fight.
00:10:34Are you ready?
00:10:35Hold it now.
00:10:36Well, I'm going to wash my hair a little bit.
00:10:37Okay, here it goes.
00:10:38Oh, when my mother sees that picture, will she be proud?
00:10:42Hey, what paper did you say you were from?
00:10:43Bulletin, we'd like to get an interview.
00:10:44You know one of those things, Dynamite McGinnis tells reporter
00:10:47how he expects to knock out Johnson.
00:10:49Oh, you mean kind of an autobiographical, huh?
00:10:51That's it.
00:10:52Well, that's...
00:10:53Mr. Dynamite.
00:10:54Say, listen, kid, I got a great idea.
00:10:55Mr. Dynamite.
00:10:56Mr. Dynamite.
00:10:57That's me?
00:10:58That's you.
00:10:59Say, listen, I got a great idea.
00:11:00How about riding over to the arena in style on the company's Jeep?
00:11:02In the meantime, you can tell me the background of your whole life.
00:11:04Well, you want the dramatic highlights or just the little personal touches?
00:11:06Anything you care to say.
00:11:08All right, that's great.
00:11:09We'll start from the beginning.
00:11:10Okay, step in, Chief.
00:11:12Arena, Joe.
00:11:19Murphy Harris, same paper.
00:11:21Meet Muggs McGinnis, the greatest fighter on the east side.
00:11:24Hello, kid.
00:11:25What's new, shorty?
00:11:26Well, Muggsy, how about telling us something about yourself?
00:11:28When I was three months old, I'd run away from home.
00:11:30Six months later, I'd come back, my father took one look at me,
00:11:33and he'd run away from home.
00:11:34All kidding aside, when did you first start fighting?
00:11:38I started when I was very young.
00:11:40I won my first 18 fights by knockouts.
00:11:42Then they took my brass knuckles away.
00:11:45Scrap metal.
00:11:51Hey, what's the idea?
00:11:52We ain't going to the arena.
00:11:54What are those blinds down for?
00:11:56Haven't you heard?
00:11:58This car's having a dim out.
00:12:00You can't get away with this. Let me up.
00:12:02You should try to be more cooperative, champ. Relax.
00:12:05We're gonna let you in on a little treat.
00:12:07Listen, there's 10 million people down there tonight that paid to see me fight.
00:12:10I gotta get there, you understand?
00:12:11They'll see a fight, all right. But you won't be in it.
00:12:19Amsterdam has a good ride.
00:12:21That was a pretty good fight, wasn't it?
00:12:23Yeah, well, you'll see the next one.
00:12:24I can hardly wait.
00:12:28Hey, Danny, you want it in the dressing room right away.
00:12:31What for?
00:12:32Don't ask questions, just come on.
00:12:33Go ahead, Danny.
00:12:36That substitute of yours isn't here in three minutes,
00:12:38we're gonna have to disqualify the East Side kids.
00:12:40Hey, Glimpy, why don't you go in?
00:12:42Who, me? I'm not in shape.
00:12:43Is that him?
00:12:45Yeah.
00:12:46Okay, thanks.
00:12:47What's going on?
00:12:48Ah, Muggs got lost somewhere.
00:12:50So you gotta go in and fight for him.
00:12:51Me? I'm not in shape.
00:12:52Uh-uh, I said that first.
00:12:54What do you got to worry about?
00:12:55You was runner-up, wasn't you?
00:12:56You can't get hurt.
00:12:57Look, if you're not in there within three minutes, we get disqualified.
00:13:00Take the clothes off, come on, will you?
00:13:01Hey, Joe, go out and explain to Ivy, will you?
00:13:04Right away.
00:13:05How long we got?
00:13:06Oh, about three minutes.
00:13:07Come on, get out of here.
00:13:08I'll give you a rub down fast.
00:13:09Don't get in right away.
00:13:11Don't get in right away.
00:13:13Ivy, Muggs didn't show up.
00:13:14Danny's got to go on in his place.
00:13:16Well, where is Muggs? He left the house in town.
00:13:18I don't know. We haven't heard a word from him.
00:13:19Maybe he had an accident.
00:13:20Danny can't go in there and fight. He's not in condition.
00:13:23Oh, look, Ivy, it's only four rounds. He can't get hurt much.
00:13:26Much?
00:13:27He was runner-up last year, wasn't he?
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:30Oh.
00:13:31Turn on the radio, Joe.
00:13:32Eh, save the electricity.
00:13:33That fight will be forfeited just like you guys want.
00:13:36Shut up. I want to listen to the fight.
00:13:38What fight? There ain't gonna be no fight unless I'm in there.
00:13:49You all right, Danny?
00:13:50Yeah, I guess I'm okay.
00:13:51Well, just don't worry about it.
00:13:52If anything happens, I'll be right in there with that water bucket.
00:13:54Water bucket? What are you, an air raid warden?
00:13:56Gee, I wish I was in there fighting.
00:13:58I shall never get my first fight, never get my last fight.
00:14:01Same fight.
00:14:02Don't worry, I'm gonna win this fight.
00:14:04That's the spirit, kid.
00:14:05Just go in there. Keep swinging, keep swinging.
00:14:06In case you don't hit the guy, the breeze might give him pneumonia.
00:14:08Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event of the evening.
00:14:14Four rounds of boxing in this corner and representing the west side,
00:14:19battling Hank Johnson.
00:14:26And in this corner, from Muggsy McGinnis and representing the east side,
00:14:32young Danny Lyon.
00:14:34They can't do that. They can't such a joke, man.
00:14:36Hey, get easy, Mr. Dynamite. You're not in the ring tonight.
00:14:41I get it. Danny paid you guys to snatch me tonight just so he could fight.
00:14:45Huh? Is that it?
00:14:46What's the matter? Don't you think Mr. Lyons can win?
00:14:48Win? He'll be hanging on those ropes so much tonight that people will think he's a yo-yo.
00:14:52Pretty smart kid, though, don't you think?
00:14:54Sure, sure. He's smart. Very smart.
00:14:56Here all the time he's been associating with you cheap snipers,
00:14:59and I never knew nothing about him.
00:15:00That's what I mean about being smart.
00:15:05You boys know all the rules.
00:15:07Make a nice, clean fight of it. Keep all your punches up.
00:15:10In case of a knockdown, go at the farthest neutral corner.
00:15:12Shake hands and come out fighting.
00:15:13Hey, Rep. In case Danny gets knocked down, which corner does he go to?
00:15:22Well, this is it.
00:15:43Come on, give it to him.
00:15:48Keep your left up, you're looking...
00:15:50Boys, move around cautiously.
00:16:07Watch that left.
00:16:13Oh, I wish he was in there.
00:16:14Oh, I wish he was in there.
00:16:15Oh, I wish he was in there.
00:16:16Oh, I didn't get in there when you had a chance.
00:16:17Oh, I might let him not in there.
00:16:18Stop crying.
00:16:19Oh, I wish he was in there when you had a chance.
00:16:21Oh, I wish he was in there when you had a chance.
00:16:22Oh, I might let him not in there.
00:16:23Stop crying.
00:16:28Listen.
00:16:29Come on, Jack.
00:16:31Come on.
00:16:36Get in.
00:16:37Get in there.
00:16:38Get in there.
00:16:41Watch that left, Jack.
00:16:42Listen to me, you'll be a fighter.
00:16:44You know, you're ruining my reputation.
00:16:46I'm sick of it, Jack.
00:16:48Get in there and keep doing this, Jack.
00:16:50Keep your head.
00:16:57Lyons comes out, barely able to keep his hand up.
00:16:59Johnson, cool, ready for the kill.
00:17:01Steps around smartly.
00:17:03See that?
00:17:04Lyons gypped his way into that ring tonight.
00:17:06Now he's getting just what's coming to him.
00:17:08But that ain't nothing compared to what's going to happen to him
00:17:10when I get out of this overcrowded bus.
00:17:14He isn't doing so well.
00:17:19He'll come around once he gets used to being in there.
00:17:40Wait a minute, Danny.
00:17:41Take it easy, Danny.
00:17:42Take it easy.
00:17:43Give him that right hand, Danny.
00:17:58One, two, three...
00:18:01Get up! Get up!
00:18:02What are you waiting for?
00:18:03Come on, get up!
00:18:04Five, six, seven...
00:18:13One, two, three, four, five...
00:18:18One more like that and you'll be able to go home.
00:18:21Thanks.
00:18:22Seven, eight, nine...
00:18:28That's it!
00:18:29Hit him up again! Hit him with your right!
00:18:36How do you feel, chef? Sit down. Come on.
00:18:38What are you doing?
00:18:41See you then?
00:18:42Oh yeah, quick!
00:18:43Watch out, let's check that out!
00:18:45This time you're giving him a left-foss, right-foss,
00:18:46then give him a Japanese uppercut.
00:18:47A Japanese uppercut?
00:18:48Yeah, double-foss.
00:18:49Come on, kid. Build up.
00:18:55Beat him up!
00:18:57Come on, Danny!
00:18:58Danny Boy!
00:18:59Yes, folks, Danny Lyons just seemed to step out of a trance.
00:19:11Lyons lands a vicious hook to Wildcat's right eye.
00:19:23Hey, what goes on?
00:19:24You got me.
00:19:25Give him a light.
00:19:26Give him a light.
00:19:29Johnson is down.
00:19:34He's down.
00:19:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:19:49Can you picture that?
00:19:51He must have hit him with a stool.
00:19:52And now, ladies and gentlemen, the winner, Danny Lyons will receive the coveted amateur
00:20:02boxing belt.
00:20:03It'll take you ten years to work this off, and you'll start tomorrow.
00:20:08Sensational champion.
00:20:09Oh, boy, you're really late.
00:20:10You hit that guy so hard with that bolo, they're still counting over him.
00:20:14Will that Muggs be surprised?
00:20:15I'm not very surprised.
00:20:17Muggs, where have you been?
00:20:18What happened to you?
00:20:19I've been around.
00:20:20Don't worry.
00:20:21We won the championship.
00:20:22Gee, Muggs, when you didn't show up, we didn't know what to do, so...
00:20:25You did all right, kid.
00:20:26My friends took very good care of me.
00:20:28My friends?
00:20:29What are you talking about?
00:20:30Might as well tell you, fellas.
00:20:33Danny fixed it up so he could fight tonight instead of me.
00:20:36Well, Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:37Yeah, yeah, playing dumb, huh?
00:20:38Don't you figure this out all by yourself?
00:20:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:41I wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:20:42No, you wouldn't do it, but you hired a couple of palookas to take me for a ride until
00:20:44this fight was over.
00:20:46Hey, is he making with the truth?
00:20:47Is that on the level?
00:20:48What goes on?
00:20:49Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:49You've got to believe me you're wrong.
00:20:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
00:20:52Incidentally, this belt belongs to me.
00:20:56Okay, Muggs, what about the car and those guys?
00:20:59Yeah, no, you never heard nothing about it.
00:21:01Of course, you know I'm still champ around here.
00:21:04Sure, Muggs, we...
00:21:05Well, just to prove it...
00:21:06Hey, wait a minute, boy!
00:21:07What's the matter, boy?
00:21:08What's the matter, you?
00:21:10Now I'm going out and sure to press the real champ.
00:21:12Take care of him.
00:21:13I've got to take some pictures, Will.
00:21:14I will.
00:21:14I'll take care of it.
00:21:16Danny's coming.
00:21:18Hello, Mom.
00:21:19Hello, Mr. Gander.
00:21:20Congratulations, Danny.
00:21:21You were great tonight.
00:21:23We heard the whole thing on the radio.
00:21:25Where's the belt you won?
00:21:26Oh, the belt?
00:21:28You won it, didn't you?
00:21:30Yeah, I won it.
00:21:31But I lost it.
00:21:33Lost it?
00:21:34Where?
00:21:35How could you lose it?
00:21:39I'll tell you all about it later, Mom.
00:21:40Sure, Danny.
00:21:41Oh, by the way, one of my boys left for the Army this afternoon.
00:21:45You can have the job tomorrow.
00:21:47Gee, that's swell, Mr. Gendick.
00:21:48I'll be there first thing in the morning.
00:21:51Good night, Mrs. Lange.
00:21:52Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:21:52Good night, Danny.
00:21:53Good night, sir.
00:21:53Good night, sir.
00:21:53Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:21:57Danny, what about the belt?
00:22:00Well, I didn't exactly lose it, Mom.
00:22:02The East Side has it.
00:22:04The East Side has it?
00:22:06Well, I gave it to Muggs.
00:22:07If I didn't, it would have meant a brawl.
00:22:10Mom, why don't you let me go out and teach him a lesson?
00:22:12Danny, as long as I live, I will never have a son of mine
00:22:15fighting in the streets.
00:22:16But, Mom.
00:22:17You...
00:22:18Hey, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:31Muggs is going to hit Danny Lyons so hard, they're going to count him out in the air.
00:22:35He's going to give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear.
00:22:38In fact, he's going to make him the only kid in this block with a built-in victory garden.
00:22:42He's so tough, he told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:45He told Joe Lewis where to get off?
00:22:46Are you kidding?
00:22:48Well, they were riding on the same streetcar together.
00:22:51What do you say, champ?
00:22:52It's a pleasure to stand up here and look down at all these smiling and intelligent faces.
00:22:56Now, don't you folks think the phony champ ought to come out and fight like a real man?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02Well, then call him.
00:23:03Danny!
00:23:04That's the matter with you, you're trying to make yourself conspicuous?
00:23:07Now, call him conservatively.
00:23:08Danny!
00:23:12Take it easy, champ.
00:23:13I don't want you to bruise that hand.
00:23:14You're fighting next week.
00:23:16Muggs McGinnis beat it.
00:23:19That's how Danny comes down.
00:23:20I want to give him a little lesson in pugilistic art.
00:23:23He's working.
00:23:24Working, huh?
00:23:26Whose baby carriage is he pushing now?
00:23:28Go and find out for yourself.
00:23:29Go over to Lewis Gendick's garage.
00:23:35Gendick's?
00:23:36Sir, that mooch is muscling on my territory again.
00:23:39You know how long ago I was promised that job?
00:23:40How long?
00:23:41Six months.
00:23:42180 days.
00:23:43What are you going to do about it?
00:23:44It ain't going to be pleasant to watch.
00:23:46Give me the crown, champ.
00:23:47Stoney, skinny.
00:23:48Take this back to Joe to Petra.
00:23:50Right.
00:23:50Right.
00:23:50Thanks very much.
00:23:55Come back again.
00:23:56Thanks.
00:23:56Hiya, fellas.
00:24:13What's cooking?
00:24:14Still crawling in front of me, huh?
00:24:16Last night you fixed it so I can't make the fight.
00:24:18Now you take the job that I was supposed to have.
00:24:20Not in a million years, McGinnis.
00:24:22Your memory must be depreciating, Gendick.
00:24:24You promised me this job.
00:24:25Sure, I remember.
00:24:26But when I put anybody to work around here,
00:24:28I want a gentleman.
00:24:29Not an irresponsible, nearly well like you.
00:24:32Since when do you call this double-crosser a gentleman?
00:24:35On your way, troublemaker.
00:24:37Come on, fellas.
00:24:38The atmosphere is getting a little dense around here.
00:24:40Why don't you two guys go play ping-pong with a time bomb?
00:24:45If he was my son, I'd give him an old-fashioned talking to right over my knee.
00:24:52Sometimes I can't figure mugs.
00:24:55I wonder if he could take the same kind of medicine he dishes out.
00:25:04Yes, sir.
00:25:05Oh, it's you.
00:25:06Hi.
00:25:06Hello, champ.
00:25:08What do you want, regular or Ethel?
00:25:10What's so funny?
00:25:11You cost me some dough last night.
00:25:13And incidentally, you can thank me for getting in that ring.
00:25:16What?
00:25:17You mean...
00:25:17Yeah, yeah.
00:25:18I finally got in with mugs.
00:25:19Cost me some dough, but it was worth it.
00:25:22How many gallons do you want?
00:25:24Make it three, and here's my ration book.
00:25:27Don't be so gloomy.
00:25:30Don't forget, Danny's name is going to be stricken from the records.
00:25:33He's out of the club intimately, ultimately, and forever.
00:25:36Why not get his next year's dues first?
00:25:37How many of you are there, huh?
00:25:38Never mind his next year's dues.
00:25:40He's out right now, presently, henceforth, etc.
00:25:43Oh, you're a big man, aren't you?
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:50Check the oil?
00:25:51No, here.
00:25:53Thanks.
00:25:53I'll be seeing you, champ.
00:25:54Oh, Mr. Gendick.
00:26:04Could I take about ten minutes off?
00:26:05Why, sure, Danny.
00:26:07Thanks a lot.
00:26:07I'll be seeing you.
00:26:09All right.
00:26:09All right.
00:26:11Azov, the 15th Instinct of the Month quote.
00:26:14Hey, how do you spell Azov?
00:26:15Azov?
00:26:16I don't know.
00:26:17Strike it from the records.
00:26:19I asked the president of this club, hereby alone, unanimously ostracize Danny Lyons from
00:26:23this club.
00:26:24And if he knows what's good for him, he won't come around anymore.
00:26:27Hey, Chairman at Arms, see who that is.
00:26:35Maybe somebody trying to break the lease.
00:26:37Now, with all the good news comes a little bad.
00:26:40Hey, Muggs, it's Danny.
00:26:41Never heard of him.
00:26:42Come on.
00:26:43I've just been advised that Muggs would not enjoy the pleasure of your company.
00:26:47Well, I'm still a member of this gang.
00:26:50I told you not to let him in here.
00:26:51I ain't no second front.
00:26:53Listen to me, Muggs, and the rest of you fellas.
00:26:54What you do, come over here to cry on my shoulders?
00:26:57I didn't come down here to cry on anybody's shoulder.
00:26:59I have an idea that Harry Wyckoff was behind that whole mess last night.
00:27:02Sure he was.
00:27:03You and Harry worked together.
00:27:05Oh, you're crazy.
00:27:06Well, the last time I saw Harry was at the...
00:27:07Was at the pool room.
00:27:09And now I know why you didn't switch that chalk like I told her.
00:27:12You wanted Harry to win.
00:27:13Well, Muggs, you've got to believe me.
00:27:15I'm on the square with you.
00:27:16No, I think I know why you came down here.
00:27:19To encounter Ivy.
00:27:20Ivy?
00:27:20What's she got to do with it?
00:27:21She's got a lot to do with it.
00:27:22Just in case you thought I didn't want you two going out together,
00:27:25or you'd come down here and try to worm your way out of this thing,
00:27:28just like you're doing now.
00:27:29Muggs, you don't even give me a chance.
00:27:31I ain't giving away no chances.
00:27:32And furthermore, stay away from my sister.
00:27:38Well, I'll see you tonight, Mr. Klinkhammer.
00:27:39Okay, Danny.
00:27:41Well, hello, boys.
00:27:43Hiya, Klinky.
00:27:44It's Klinkhammer.
00:27:46Okay, St. Candle.
00:27:47Hey, weather clear.
00:27:48Track fast.
00:27:50Looks like a Mickey Finn with fuzz on it.
00:27:52Man, look at that head.
00:27:53A beautiful skin.
00:27:54Every time I look at it,
00:27:55I want to put on my finger and then start bowling.
00:27:59Very funny.
00:28:00Well, I suppose you boys all have your partners
00:28:01for the big dance tonight.
00:28:02I don't need no partner.
00:28:03I can win it alone.
00:28:04I got a dame that's solid.
00:28:05Z-O-I-L-T.
00:28:06Hey, look, are you going to give Wes more of that counterfeit money?
00:28:08I certainly am.
00:28:10Counterfeit.
00:28:11Why, my money's good.
00:28:12Always has been.
00:28:13Yeah, the last time you gave me a five link
00:28:15and was winking.
00:28:17Well, look, boys, I got to go now.
00:28:18I got to pay a little social call on your folks, you know.
00:28:21Well, I'm off.
00:28:22You're not kidding.
00:28:23You are off.
00:28:24See you later, Klinky.
00:28:26If clothes make the man,
00:28:27you've got a long way to go, son.
00:28:28I'll be a later.
00:28:31Step down, sir.
00:28:35Yeah, Milky.
00:28:36Keep the change.
00:28:37Thank you, sir.
00:28:39Hiya, Mr. Scurullo.
00:28:40Fine, how are you, fellas?
00:28:41Hiya, Pop.
00:28:42Hi, Ray.
00:28:43Where you been?
00:28:43To a Turkish bath?
00:28:44It's about getting a shine.
00:28:45It's got to look neat once in a while, don't I?
00:28:47Take over.
00:28:49Yeah, I'm only hip to what you're talking about.
00:28:51Hey, Jackson, you know that shop you just shined up?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:54Well, who's that big colloca he's talking to in there?
00:28:56He's a friend of my boss.
00:28:57He works here.
00:28:58Hey, Muggs, maybe Danny was right.
00:29:00Sure, maybe he was right,
00:29:01but that still don't prove he didn't have nothing to do with it.
00:29:03Look, you kids,
00:29:04if anything's cooking on your brains,
00:29:06don't do it around here.
00:29:07And for you, my little Eclipse,
00:29:10you take over while I go home to see your mama.
00:29:13Give me a shine, boy.
00:29:13Look at that, Pop.
00:29:14I'm allergic to this polish.
00:29:16Hey, boy, give me a shine.
00:29:17If you give me a shine,
00:29:18I'll polish you off,
00:29:20but quick if you don't get out of that chair.
00:29:22Let's take a sword.
00:29:23See you came around to pay off a little pool debt, huh?
00:29:26Yeah, we came around to pay off, all right.
00:29:30What do you want?
00:29:31Where's that young elephant you was just talking to?
00:29:33I haven't seen nobody.
00:29:34Well, you got a stigmatism, huh?
00:29:37You paying much protection lately, Wyckoff?
00:29:39What's it to you?
00:29:40Oh, nothing.
00:29:42Nothing at all.
00:29:43How much you lose on the fight last night?
00:29:45I think you lost a little more than I did, huh?
00:29:47How would you like to lose consciousness?
00:29:50What's the matter?
00:29:50Can't you take a little rib?
00:29:51Maybe a laughing boy knows a little about this, huh?
00:29:54Look, fellas, this ain't no pool hall.
00:29:56Now, get out of here before I call the cops.
00:29:58Call the cops?
00:29:59That's a funny one.
00:30:00Go ahead and call them.
00:30:01We'll lead them right into that back room there
00:30:02and let them place a couple of bets.
00:30:04And speaking of bets,
00:30:06there's a couple of newspaper men back there
00:30:08that we're going to place a little parlay on.
00:30:10But I wouldn't bet them to win.
00:30:18What do you kids want in here?
00:30:20Oh, we just come around to renew acquaintances.
00:30:22Hello, kid.
00:30:23Now, kid.
00:30:24So you remember me, huh?
00:30:26I thought you tried to say you was a couple other guys.
00:30:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:30:30That lapse of memory.
00:30:31All right, outside.
00:30:32Now, get going.
00:30:33Yeah, we'll get going.
00:30:34You hear what he says, fellas?
00:30:35Well, let's go.
00:30:36Give me a...
00:30:37Hey, I wonder what time the floor show goes on.
00:30:46What's Hatsy's face doing up there?
00:30:48Where's the judge?
00:30:49Must be out to lunch.
00:30:51Gee, a lady judge.
00:30:52Next case, please.
00:30:55Benny Miller.
00:30:57Joe Collins.
00:30:59Harold Stone.
00:31:00Glimpy McLeavy.
00:31:03Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:06Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:07Hey, Muggs!
00:31:15Do people usually call you by that name Muggs?
00:31:18No, that's because he's so homely.
00:31:20I mean, tough.
00:31:21Tough?
00:31:21Only my friends call me Muggs.
00:31:25I don't think you'd know a friend if you saw one.
00:31:27I'm his friend.
00:31:28Thanks, Glimp.
00:31:30I don't suppose any of you boys have got a job.
00:31:32A job?
00:31:32I worked once.
00:31:33I was a pin setter.
00:31:34What is a pin setter?
00:31:35They knock him down.
00:31:36I set him up.
00:31:38Gee, judge.
00:31:39Ain't you never polled?
00:31:42Stop that.
00:31:44Sorry, Miss, uh, Your Honor.
00:31:47Didn't get much sleep last night.
00:31:48I can't see no point in discussing Glimpy's career.
00:31:51The issue is, are we going to the Hooskow or ain't we?
00:31:54Whether I send you there or someone else does,
00:31:56eventually that's where you're going to wind up.
00:31:59I can't understand it.
00:32:01You boys are supposed to be good American citizens.
00:32:04While our soldiers are fighting for peace,
00:32:06you're disturbing it.
00:32:07There's 101 things that you can do
00:32:09to further the war effort.
00:32:12And I'm going to give you a chance to do it.
00:32:14Go on home and don't let me catch you back here again.
00:32:17Case dismissed.
00:32:18Thanks, Miss Judge.
00:32:22So long there, Charlie.
00:32:23Where do you think you're going?
00:32:28You said the case was dismissed.
00:32:30The case was dismissed for them.
00:32:32They were brought in here for disturbing the peace.
00:32:34You were brought in here for bookmaking.
00:32:36This is your second offense.
00:32:37How do you plead?
00:32:40Guilty.
00:32:41Six months each.
00:32:43Next case, please.
00:32:47I'll see you fellas later.
00:32:48I got a little date.
00:32:49Moks, can I go with you maybe, honey?
00:32:51No, this is personal.
00:32:52I don't know.
00:32:53Okay.
00:32:54Hey, fellas, you want to go over to the pool room, huh?
00:32:56Didn't you hear what that judge said?
00:32:59Hey, I wonder where he's going.
00:33:00Let's find out.
00:33:01Hey, Danny.
00:33:12I've had a change of disposition.
00:33:15Yeah?
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:18Hey, Mugs is talking to Danny.
00:33:20Hey, what do you know about that?
00:33:21You can take Ivy to that dance tonight.
00:33:25Thanks.
00:33:25I appreciate that.
00:33:26That's nothing.
00:33:27Nothing at all.
00:33:29About that fight.
00:33:31They found out about Wyckoff.
00:33:32Oh, did he tell you how much I paid him for the job?
00:33:34Right so you wasn't in on it.
00:33:36It's just a lucky break for you, that's all.
00:33:39By the way, we're having a meeting tomorrow night.
00:33:42The last I heard, I was kicked out of the club.
00:33:44Yeah, well, I kicked you back in.
00:33:47I'll see you later.
00:33:51Don't wait up for me.
00:33:53Patricia may, but we've got nothing in common.
00:33:55You can't even shoot a game of pool.
00:33:58If that's the way you feel about it, you better hang up.
00:34:03I guess that's the way she felt about it.
00:34:06I hope Danny likes his dress.
00:34:08Well, I don't see why not.
00:34:09He sees you in it every day.
00:34:11Mother.
00:34:14Well, good evening, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:17Won't you come in, Danny?
00:34:19Hello.
00:34:20Hello, Ivy.
00:34:20Are you ready?
00:34:21I will be in just a minute.
00:34:22Wait till I get my coat.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:24Mr. Danny lines to see Miss Ivy McGinnis.
00:34:27Prepare for a lull.
00:34:29Very funny bit.
00:34:31You expect to win that 50 tonight?
00:34:33We're sure going to try.
00:34:34Well, you should know a couple of good steps by now.
00:34:36You've been practicing for 300 years.
00:34:39Now, take me, for instance.
00:34:40I'm going to win that Mazuma tonight,
00:34:41and I ain't had no practicing at all.
00:34:43You're going to dance tonight, Mugs?
00:34:45Who's your partner?
00:34:46Anybody I know?
00:34:46I didn't know you went in for dances, Mugs.
00:34:48I'm ambidextrous.
00:34:50Tonight, you're going to find out
00:34:51that I can beat you with my feet as well as my hands.
00:34:54Come on, Danny.
00:34:55Let's go.
00:34:56Good luck, kids.
00:34:57Be home early.
00:34:57Good night, Mugs.
00:34:58Good night.
00:34:58Good night, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:59Have a good time.
00:35:02Don't slam the door, Schlemiel.
00:35:05I'm sorry, Ma.
00:35:06I don't like to be crude like that.
00:35:09But that guy brings out the bad side in me.
00:35:11Did I hear you say you were going to the dance?
00:35:13When did you decide on that?
00:35:15Just now.
00:35:16A little spontaneous conclusion.
00:35:19Hey, Ma, do me a favor, will you?
00:35:20Press the shirt and block this hat.
00:35:22You're not going to the dance in those clothes.
00:35:25No.
00:35:26No, I guess not.
00:35:27Well, how about that outfit I used to wear
00:35:29when I was a choir boy?
00:35:30I'll get it for you.
00:35:34Choir boy.
00:35:34When a body
00:35:46Meet a body
00:35:48Coming through the rye
00:35:51When a body
00:35:54Kiss a body
00:35:56In a body cry
00:35:59When all I see
00:36:03Has a body
00:36:05Need me say
00:36:07In all the lads
00:36:11They smile at me
00:36:13When coming through
00:36:15The rye
00:36:17High
00:36:18High
00:36:19High
00:36:21High
00:36:21High
00:36:31At the rye
00:36:32When a body
00:36:36Good evening, Mr. Gaines.
00:36:37Good evening, Danny.
00:36:39Hello, Mr. Gaines.
00:36:39I wish you luck in the contest this evening.
00:36:41Oh, thank you.
00:36:42Thanks a lot.
00:36:43See, that band sounds swell, doesn't it, huh?
00:36:45Sure does.
00:36:46Daddy, look, I can't believe it, it's Mutz with a girl.
00:36:49I wonder who she is.
00:36:51Muggs, how'd you get here so fast?
00:36:53We had an upper birth on Superman.
00:36:55Well, I'll see you later.
00:36:56Good luck, Muggs.
00:36:57You'll need it.
00:37:00I want you to check this hat.
00:37:02That's too much.
00:37:16And now, for the benefit of you swing shifters,
00:37:29that is, those of you who have to go home early,
00:37:34we're going to have the amateur jitterbug contest immediately.
00:37:38Now, all those contestants will kindly come up to the table
00:37:40and get your numbers.
00:37:41See, we have numbers to put on your back, every one of you.
00:37:43Plenty of them.
00:37:44Come on, folks.
00:37:45Up to the table.
00:37:53Dancing alone?
00:37:54Nah.
00:37:55Hey, Glumpy, are you in the contest?
00:37:56Sure.
00:37:57I didn't know you were jitterbug.
00:37:58Are you kidding?
00:37:59Me and the members of my family have been bugs for years.
00:38:01Well, where's your suit coat?
00:38:02Suit coat?
00:38:03Couldn't wear it.
00:38:04It's got a hole in the knee.
00:38:05Hey, look, if you don't mind, we have a contest on here.
00:38:08Hey, if she falls down, she'll be home.
00:38:10Funny guy.
00:38:11He's got this thing just as good as one.
00:38:14What's the use of dancing a couple hours and expending all that energy?
00:38:17Good luck, Mars.
00:38:18I don't need no luck.
00:38:19This thing's in a bag.
00:38:20Yeah?
00:38:20I hope there's a hole in the bag.
00:38:23Your number.
00:38:24I don't like that number.
00:38:25Give me the other one, will you, boss?
00:38:26No, it's no good.
00:38:27That's my lucky number.
00:38:29Five, five.
00:38:30That's the one.
00:38:31It better be lucky, Mars.
00:38:33Well, you've been very pessimistic.
00:38:36Okay, boys.
00:38:37Let her go.
00:38:38Let her go.
00:38:39All right.
00:38:41Let's go.
00:38:42Let her go.
00:38:44Let her go.
00:40:00What did you turn it up on the property?
00:40:03Dispose of that thing.
00:40:05No sooner say it then I'll...
00:40:30Oh, get your old girls.
00:40:43Come on, Second Front, let's get some milk.
00:40:48Oh, get your old girls.
00:40:52Come on, Second Front, let's get some milk.
00:40:55I was getting close to $50 at a time.
00:41:15Old mugs are sure to win.
00:41:19$50 a time, old Muggs are sure to win.
00:41:49The End
00:42:19Oh, it's too bad, Ivy.
00:42:26I guess they were too good for us.
00:42:28Oh, it's all right.
00:42:29Mugs won anyway.
00:42:45Well, congratulations, Mugs.
00:42:46Thanks.
00:42:47Give me the 50, quick stammer.
00:42:49I've told you a thousand times, my name is Klunkhammer.
00:42:53Yeah, yeah, we'll overlook your personal difficulties.
00:42:55Shoot the booty to me, Snooty.
00:43:01No.
00:43:03I don't like that look in your eye.
00:43:05I'm sorry, kids.
00:43:08What are you sorry about?
00:43:09I won, didn't I?
00:43:10Well, that all depends.
00:43:12Young lady, do you work at the Silver Slipper Dance Hall?
00:43:15Well, in a way.
00:43:17And you get paid for dancing?
00:43:18Yes, I guess so.
00:43:21Well, that settles it.
00:43:21I'm sorry.
00:43:22I can't give you the prize money.
00:43:24Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please.
00:43:25Attention.
00:43:27Unfortunately, Mr. McGinnis has been dancing with a professional.
00:43:31How did you expect me to win with an amateur?
00:43:33I've got to have some personal handicap, don't I?
00:43:35Would you please stop butting in when I'm interrupting?
00:43:38Mr. McGinnis has been disqualified.
00:43:40And the real winners of the East Side Amateur Jitterbug Contest are Danny Lyons and Ivy McGinnis.
00:43:49Danny!
00:43:50Danny, we won!
00:43:51We won!
00:43:52Oh, Muggs isn't going to like this.
00:43:55All right, champions, come and get your money.
00:43:57You're full of perjury, you know that.
00:43:59I won that contest all by myself.
00:44:01I just used the slightest bit of assistance from this young, innocent girl here.
00:44:05Muggs, I told you before, you're disqualified.
00:44:07That means scram.
00:44:09Oh, come on, Muggs.
00:44:10We had fun anyway.
00:44:12Congratulations, Danny, and you too.
00:44:14Thanks a lot.
00:44:15Well, half of this is yours, Ivy.
00:44:16Oh, that's all right, Danny.
00:44:17You keep it for a while.
00:44:18Okay.
00:44:20I've been playing second fiddle you for a long time, Lyons.
00:44:23But you're going to look awful funny playing a harp.
00:44:26Now, now, no fisticuffs.
00:44:28I did it.
00:44:28Don't part your hair, breakaway.
00:44:33All right, everybody dance.
00:44:35And let the archers follow where they may.
00:44:45Hey, that's a drag, Muggs.
00:44:47You had to lose that contest after all that fancy hoofing.
00:44:50Yes, indeed, Muggs.
00:44:51Where did you learn all those fancy steps?
00:44:53I invented them.
00:44:54You're a real hip cat, Pop.
00:44:55You're a pure man.
00:44:56Oh, Danny, congratulations, both of you.
00:44:59That was great stuff.
00:45:00Oh, thanks.
00:45:00Thanks a lot.
00:45:01Jim, I'm sure sorry you got disqualified, Muggs.
00:45:04I never saw anybody look any serious.
00:45:06Oh, cheer up, Muggs.
00:45:07It's all in the family anyway.
00:45:08Well, the drinks are on us.
00:45:09What do you have?
00:45:10I'll have an orange.
00:45:11What are you going to have, Muggs?
00:45:13I'd like to have a few words with you.
00:45:16There's a lot of little things we got to discuss.
00:45:18About 50 of them.
00:45:20But I think we better do it in private.
00:45:22Okay, Muggs.
00:45:24Excuse me, honey.
00:45:25I'll be right back.
00:45:25Yeah, he'll be right back.
00:45:30Hey, Javier, it's too bad.
00:45:31You were disqualified.
00:45:32Professional jealousy.
00:45:33Will you have kids?
00:45:34Glippi's mine.
00:45:35Already got mine.
00:45:36Orange egg.
00:45:36Me too, lemonade.
00:45:38Just make mine water.
00:45:39I'm driving.
00:45:39Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:45:43Come on, walk over to 50.
00:45:44You've been holding it long enough.
00:45:46But, Muggs, we won the contest.
00:45:47Technically, yes.
00:45:48Financially, not.
00:45:49You were disqualified.
00:45:52Besides, part of this money is ivy's.
00:45:54I'll take care of the distribution.
00:45:55Muggs, Danny, what's the matter?
00:45:57You'll go back to your lemonade.
00:45:58It's a little personal matter.
00:45:59Now, come on.
00:46:00Get it on the line.
00:46:02You can't stand to lose, can you?
00:46:03No, I can't.
00:46:04If you don't give me that dough,
00:46:05I'm going to belt you one right on the chin.
00:46:08Now, make what to take.
00:46:11Danny, don't do it.
00:46:13Just because he's my brother,
00:46:14don't let him knock you around.
00:46:16That money belongs to us.
00:46:17My palm is itching, and my left is raring to go.
00:46:21If you're going to get it up,
00:46:21I'll give you one more chance.
00:46:25Okay, Muggs, if that's the way you want it.
00:46:28That's just the way I want it.
00:46:29Half of that's ivy's, don't forget.
00:46:31I don't want any part of it.
00:46:33Wait a minute, ivy.
00:46:34I'll take you home.
00:46:35I can find my own way home.
00:46:38Spoken like a true McGinnis.
00:46:40Well, so long, champ.
00:46:43Hey, Danny, wait a minute.
00:47:00You're leaving the dance rather early, aren't you?
00:47:03Well, I was getting pretty tired.
00:47:04Isn't everyone going to take what Muggs hands out?
00:47:08I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:47:10I know that.
00:47:11But he thinks you are.
00:47:13Did you ever think of joining another gang?
00:47:16That'd be running away.
00:47:17Not the outfit I'm talking about.
00:47:19They'll be glad to get you.
00:47:21They will sooner or later.
00:47:23You'll be fighting all kinds of bullies.
00:47:26Like Muggs?
00:47:26Worse.
00:47:27These bullies are called Japs and Nazis.
00:47:30You mean the army?
00:47:33That won't be running away, Danny.
00:47:34That's real fighting.
00:47:37They tried to get me and 17, but couldn't finish the job.
00:47:41There I go, talking about that again.
00:47:46We'll talk it over some more.
00:47:48See you in the morning, Danny.
00:47:50Yes, sir.
00:47:51Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:47:52Good night.
00:47:57And then I met Mr. Gendick outside.
00:48:00Your father and Mr. Louis Gendick were very good friends.
00:48:03They fought together over in France.
00:48:06I'll bet Pop was a good soldier.
00:48:09One of the best.
00:48:11What are you thinking of, Danny?
00:48:16I'm thinking what a lot of us fellas should have done weeks ago.
00:48:20I'm joining the army.
00:48:22With your consent.
00:48:25For that kind of fighting, Danny.
00:48:27Always.
00:48:28I'm proud to have you go.
00:48:29I'm proud to have you.
00:48:33I wonder what Ivy will think.
00:48:36Do you mean to say that Danny stood there and did nothing about it?
00:48:41Muggs might be a bully and all that, but Danny doesn't even stand up for his own rights.
00:48:46Well, it seems to me that if Danny had a little of what Muggs has, and vice versa, you'd have something.
00:48:52You're still like Danny anyway, don't you, honey?
00:48:54You're still like Danny anyway, don't you, honey?
00:48:59You're still like Danny anyway, don't you, honey?
00:49:03You're still like Danny.
00:49:04R-Q-O-P-L-Y-Z-M...
00:49:15Hello, Glippi.
00:49:16Don't tell me you want to go to work.
00:49:18Wake!
00:49:19Just give myself an eye test.
00:49:20Hey, what happened to Danny?
00:49:21You fired him?
00:49:22Danny quit.
00:49:23Quit?
00:49:24What did he do?
00:49:24A failure go to his head?
00:49:25He had a special reason of his own.
00:49:28I don't think you boys are going to see him around so much.
00:49:30Okay, I'll play straight.
00:49:31Tell me.
00:49:32Danny's joined a new gang.
00:49:34New gang.
00:49:35Bring them around and rip their heads together and make a bonfire out of them.
00:49:38But this gang's really tough.
00:49:40Tough.
00:49:40That's different.
00:49:41New gang?
00:49:43Mugs ain't going to like this.
00:49:45Fantastic.
00:49:46How do you make those hangers, Mugs?
00:49:47Just practice.
00:49:48Just practice.
00:49:48That's all.
00:49:49Hey, I can remember what time in Chicago...
00:49:50Hey, get a load of this.
00:49:51Don't lose what I got to tell you.
00:49:52Listen quietly.
00:49:53Listen.
00:49:53Now speak English.
00:49:54Danny's left.
00:49:55He's gone away.
00:49:56Why do I care about Danny?
00:49:57Yeah, but he's joined a new gang.
00:49:58What gang?
00:49:59I don't know.
00:49:59Gendick's wouldn't tell me.
00:50:00What's Gendick know about it?
00:50:02Nothing.
00:50:02As long as he said, it was very tough and they controlled the whole country.
00:50:06I'm going to get even with Gendick one of these days.
00:50:08Yeah, he always sticks up for Danny.
00:50:10That's why you never got the job.
00:50:11I'll tell you what to do.
00:50:13You fellas scatter around, see what you can find out about Danny and his new gang of
00:50:16his and come back here and let me know.
00:50:20Come out of your tone deaf.
00:50:22Oh, don't be so gruesome.
00:50:23Hey, Muggs, what is this about Danny?
00:50:33Oh, I'd rather not talk about it.
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:37Hello, Peter.
00:50:38What's the matter?
00:50:39Look, look what they did.
00:50:44Murderous.
00:50:45My parents.
00:50:47What do I do about them?
00:50:48Oh, don't worry, Peter.
00:50:50Go over to the consulate.
00:50:52He will advise you what to do.
00:50:55You mean to say those Nazis just walked in and snuffed out a whole town just like that?
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00It was no bigger than our neighborhood from Mott Street to this block.
00:51:03Hey, Nick.
00:51:07What's this?
00:51:08What are you doing?
00:51:09Going to school or something?
00:51:10Or this?
00:51:13I'm studying to be an American citizen.
00:51:16You mean to say you ain't a citizen?
00:51:18I soon will be.
00:51:20Soon as I know what's in here.
00:51:22Is it very tough?
00:51:24Some of the questions are easy and others you have to study again and again.
00:51:29I don't see why you have to know all that stuff.
00:51:31That's the trouble with you and a lot of people.
00:51:34You take your citizenship for granted.
00:51:36You should know all these things.
00:51:38Just like you know the name of your friends.
00:51:40I know the whole book from cover to cover.
00:51:42Go ahead, ask me some questions.
00:51:44All right.
00:51:45What are the first ten amendments called?
00:51:49Uh, better ask me another question.
00:51:52The book's full of them, ain't it?
00:51:53Oh, if you don't know that, there's no use of going any further.
00:51:56The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights.
00:52:00Did you ever read them?
00:52:02Not recently.
00:52:04Well, the Bill of Rights simply means freedom and protection.
00:52:08It has a lot of clauses.
00:52:09But after all in all, it's like the fall of freedom the president talks about.
00:52:15Well, uh, those people must have kind of missed the boat on that set-up, huh?
00:52:19Oh, but they will get those things pretty soon.
00:52:23That's why our boys are journeying the army.
00:52:26You mean all those fellows who used to come in here and shoot pool and all those guys that had joined the army, they know all about this Bill of Rights and Amendments?
00:52:32Maybe not.
00:52:33But in their hearts, they know.
00:52:37Like you, Muggs.
00:52:39I saw your face when you read that paper.
00:52:43I didn't have to tell you about the Bill of Rights.
00:52:46Americans are born with it in their hearts, and it just has to come out sooner or later.
00:52:54Where are you going, Muggs?
00:53:09Muggs.
00:53:18Guess what?
00:53:19Guess what?
00:53:19What?
00:53:20Danny's joined the army.
00:53:21Danny did what?
00:53:22Don't you hear my voice?
00:53:23Danny's joined the army.
00:53:24Maybe he wants to fight now.
00:53:26Yeah, I'm just in the mood.
00:53:28What are you going to do?
00:53:30I'm going to do nothing.
00:53:31Exactly nothing.
00:53:33What's the matter, Muggsy?
00:53:57What's the trouble, Muggsy?
00:53:58I've never seen you this way before.
00:54:01What's wrong with me anyway, Ma?
00:54:03Why say that?
00:54:04There's nothing ever wrong with a McGinnis.
00:54:06Everything I do turns out wrong.
00:54:08I'm always making enemies.
00:54:10I don't like to hurt nobody, Ma.
00:54:12I always try to do the right thing.
00:54:15Once in a while, I've got to kick the fellas around the club a little bit,
00:54:17but that's just to show them I'm the leader, that's all.
00:54:19What's the real trouble, Muggsy?
00:54:23I want your consent to join the army.
00:54:26What brought this on?
00:54:28Well, Danny's in the army.
00:54:31Strutting around like a peacock in that new uniform is with the brass buttons and everything.
00:54:36Look, Ma, I can beat Danny.
00:54:37I can beat him in anything.
00:54:38I've been beating him all my life.
00:54:40I'll be a captain.
00:54:41I'll be a major.
00:54:42I can still beat him.
00:54:43If that's the reason you want to join, I don't think you'll make a good soldier.
00:54:50That's not the reason, Ma.
00:54:52There's other reasons.
00:54:53I can't explain them.
00:54:54Just give me your consent, will you?
00:54:55No.
00:54:57Not until you're drafted, or I think you really want to fight for your country
00:55:01and not just to show Danny up.
00:55:03Well, Muggsy never kept you away from Ivy.
00:55:18No, and he won't be able to after tonight.
00:55:23More ways than one.
00:55:25Look, Ma.
00:55:27An engagement dream.
00:55:29It's pretty, isn't it?
00:55:30I know someday you and Ivy would.
00:55:34Does she know?
00:55:35No.
00:55:36I didn't know whether to tell Muggs first or...
00:55:40Tell Muggs?
00:55:41Get on your feet, soldier.
00:55:44Now you listen to me, Danny Lyons.
00:55:47You're a man now.
00:55:49Sooner or later, Muggs McGinnis is going to find this out.
00:55:52You go and give that ring to Ivy.
00:55:55And forget about Muggs.
00:55:57Thanks, Ma.
00:55:58Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:16You cheated.
00:56:17How can you win a game of solitaire without cheating?
00:56:20At least once.
00:56:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:56:22I've seen him, I've seen him, I've seen him.
00:56:24Quit those semi-hysterics.
00:56:25You've seen who?
00:56:26I saw Danny in his uniform.
00:56:28He even saluted me.
00:56:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:30What's the matter?
00:56:31Now to think of it, he didn't have his thumb in the right place.
00:56:34Where was he going?
00:56:35Towards your house.
00:56:36He was, huh?
00:56:37Gonna strut his uniform up in front of Ivy.
00:56:40Where you going?
00:56:41Oh, I'm gonna have a little chat with him, that's all.
00:56:43Wait a minute.
00:56:43With Danny in the army, you can't boss around like you used to.
00:56:46I'm still head man around here.
00:56:47You fellas follow me at a safe distance,
00:56:49and you'll find out whether or not I can boss him.
00:56:51Why, Danny.
00:57:02Hello, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:57:03Where did you get back?
00:57:04Well, I got in about an hour ago.
00:57:06Oh, wait till Ivy sees you.
00:57:08Ivy, why, you look fine in your uniform.
00:57:10I think you've put some weight on.
00:57:12You look splendid.
00:57:13How have you been?
00:57:14Well, Danny.
00:57:15Dear, what a surprise.
00:57:16Hello, Ivy.
00:57:16I brought you some popcorn.
00:57:18Oh, popcorn?
00:57:20Well, I've heard a boy's bringing orchids and candies,
00:57:22but never popcorn.
00:57:23Oh, my little please.
00:57:24Well, I suppose you two kids haven't seen each other in a long time,
00:57:28and you want to be alone.
00:57:29Yes.
00:57:30No.
00:57:30I'll be right back.
00:57:32Oh.
00:57:33In about three hours.
00:57:34Oh.
00:57:35Come on, Danny.
00:57:36Sit down.
00:57:36I want you to tell me everything you've been doing.
00:57:40It's a long story.
00:57:42Well, you've got the wrong bag.
00:57:44Well, what's the difference?
00:57:45Popcorn's popcorn.
00:57:45Well, there's a little more in this one.
00:57:48Oh, all right.
00:57:51Good.
00:57:53You know, the popcorn man told me you sometimes find a prize in these.
00:57:56Oh, really?
00:57:57Mm-hmm.
00:57:58Gee, it's been so lonesome without you.
00:58:03Hey, Danny.
00:58:04Hey, look, I found one.
00:58:05You see?
00:58:06What did I tell you?
00:58:07It's just like an engagement ring.
00:58:09What do you mean, like?
00:58:10It is.
00:58:12You put it in there?
00:58:13Uh-huh.
00:58:14That means we're engaged?
00:58:16If you want to be.
00:58:18Oh, Danny.
00:58:19Here.
00:58:27Well, how romantic.
00:58:30Ah, Romeo and Cleopatra.
00:58:32Don't be obnoxious.
00:58:33This is no time for compliments.
00:58:34Muggs, I want you to meet your future brother-in-law.
00:58:36Since when are you making the decisions around here?
00:58:38Danny and I are engaged.
00:58:40That's right.
00:58:40I don't know how long this has been going on, but you're disengaged right now.
00:58:43Yeah, and I'll have you both to know.
00:58:45What's the idea, Muggs?
00:58:47This is my house, ain't it?
00:58:48I'll ask the questions around here.
00:58:50Muggs, please.
00:58:50Watch out, you'll hurt my arm.
00:58:52Boys are downstairs.
00:58:54They'd like to see you.
00:58:55Besides, I'd like to have a little talk with you.
00:58:58Ivy can spare you for a few minutes.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:02Oh, okay, Muggs.
00:59:03Fine.
00:59:11I'll be right back, Ivy.
00:59:13Hey, boy, do you look rude in that suit?
00:59:26Yes, sir.
00:59:27We really thought you'd join a new gang.
00:59:29No wonder Gettick said your gang had a couple of million guys.
00:59:31And they're all swell fellas, too.
00:59:33All right, break it up.
00:59:34Cut the gab.
00:59:37What's on your mind, Muggs?
00:59:38Oh, nothing much.
00:59:39I just want to stop these boys before they start kissing you.
00:59:43You know, I'm still head man around here,
00:59:44and I don't like to see the old gang bust up.
00:59:46So I'm going to give you a chance to get back in.
00:59:48He's in the Army.
00:59:49He don't like our gang.
00:59:50Well, heck, I don't.
00:59:51I still want to be a member.
00:59:52I'll give you a chance to prove that.
00:59:54How can I?
00:59:55Gendick likes you a lot, doesn't he?
00:59:57Yeah, and he'd like you, too, if he gave him half a chance.
00:59:59I'm not interested in the old boys socially.
01:00:02I'm just interested in those new tires he's got.
01:00:04What?
01:00:05You kidding?
01:00:06No, I'm not kidding.
01:00:07And I need you to help me.
01:00:09You want me to help you rob Gendicks?
01:00:11What for?
01:00:11But dough, that's what for.
01:00:13But, Muggs, you know...
01:00:14Never mind.
01:00:15You may belong to a new gang,
01:00:16but you're still taking orders from me.
01:00:19Okay, Muggs.
01:00:22Anything you say.
01:00:24Get a hole again, they can get him in a conversation.
01:00:26The main thing is to get him wait in the front of that store.
01:00:29Suppose you get caught.
01:00:30I got an alibi.
01:00:31And fight him, or we got an excuse.
01:00:33Just tell him he looks like he needs a glass of milk or something.
01:00:35Take him down to McGillicuddy's.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:38Take it easy.
01:00:39Boys.
01:00:40There goes a chump.
01:00:43What are you whistling about?
01:00:48What brings you around here this time of night?
01:00:50Well, I was sort of strolling, and I have to get to bed early at camp.
01:00:54Oh, just the novelty of staying up, eh?
01:00:57Yeah, I guess that's it.
01:00:58Well, sit down, Dan, and tell me all about army life.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:03Hey, they're sitting down.
01:01:04They must be tired.
01:01:05What's that slug trying to do?
01:01:07I told him to get Gendick out of there.
01:01:09Looks like he's giving you the double cross.
01:01:11Well, if he knows what's good for him, he's going to take Gendick for that walk.
01:01:14Maybe he's trying to save his rubber heels.
01:01:17You're looking well, Danny.
01:01:19The army must be treating you all right.
01:01:21Oh, I've been feeling great.
01:01:22I've only been in a month, and I put on 50 pounds.
01:01:2450 pounds.
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:26Two in weight and 48 in equipment.
01:01:31How do you like that?
01:01:32Danny turned a stool pigeon.
01:01:34So what?
01:01:35Gendick's would have caught us anyway.
01:01:36There's only one thing to mix that deal up.
01:01:38I'm going to fix that right now.
01:01:40Hey, we're going back to the pool room.
01:01:41I got a date with an eight ball.
01:01:42You ever hear the old maximum business before pleasure?
01:01:45Well, this is old business.
01:01:46Danny?
01:01:48For once and for all.
01:01:50Is the back of the garage all locked up?
01:01:52Well, sure, it's always locked up at night.
01:01:55You know that.
01:01:55I should know it.
01:01:56I used to work for you.
01:02:02Well, I have to be running along now.
01:02:04Good night, Mr. Gendick.
01:02:05Good night, Danny.
01:02:07Drop in again before you go back to camp.
01:02:09I sure will.
01:02:13What's the matter?
01:02:14You got a hole in your memory?
01:02:15I talked to Gendick, just like you told me to.
01:02:17Sure, you talked to him.
01:02:19If you didn't follow my orders,
01:02:20you've been an important job in your head.
01:02:22I had to be punished on it.
01:02:23You weren't really going to rob Gendick.
01:02:25You just wanted to get me in trouble.
01:02:26Still the same old jellyfish, huh?
01:02:29You must be crazy to think I'd help you pull a job like that,
01:02:32especially in these.
01:02:33Look, I'm still head man around here.
01:02:35And when I say something, I want it done.
01:02:36I'm sorry, Muggs, but I'm through taking that kind of orders.
01:02:39I think I can still keep you in line.
01:02:41I've been doing it all my life.
01:02:45Here, Beanie.
01:02:47Is she kidding?
01:02:48No, I'm not kidding, Muggs.
01:02:50You've been asking for this for a long time,
01:02:52and now you're finally gonna get it.
01:02:54And make yourself nice and comfortable,
01:02:55so when you fall, you won't hurt yourself.
01:02:57Yeah, you better be comfortable.
01:02:58George, kid!
01:02:59Whoa!
01:03:00Hey!
01:03:01Hey!
01:03:02Watch it, Muggs!
01:03:06How'd you like that, Muggs?
01:03:08I love it.
01:03:20Well, have you had enough?
01:03:24Yeah.
01:03:25Yeah, I guess that fills the bill.
01:03:31No hard feelings, huh, Muggs?
01:03:34Yeah.
01:03:35I always said the guy who married my sister
01:03:37would have to lick me first,
01:03:38and you've done it.
01:03:39I'm sure glad it worked out this way, Muggs.
01:03:41Well, I'm not glad,
01:03:43but it's all right.
01:03:46Well, we cleaned that place out,
01:03:47and what can we get some more?
01:03:49Well, you know that, don't you?
01:03:50Well, I know.
01:03:51Oh, no.
01:03:52Hey, well, look who's here!
01:03:53Look who's here!
01:03:54Oh, he must have tears!
01:03:55How are you, fellas?
01:03:56Oh, you look great!
01:03:57What are you boys doing?
01:03:58We're taking that scrap metal
01:03:59down to Gendick's garage for the salvage drive.
01:04:01Hey, didn't they get Gendick for the Army yet?
01:04:03Not yet.
01:04:04Well, I'm glad to see you, boys,
01:04:05and there's close cooperation with the armed forces.
01:04:07Keep up the good work.
01:04:08It's too bad us guys couldn't make it.
01:04:09But we'll be in there with you next year.
01:04:11Yeah.
01:04:12With Danny, Glimpy, and I in there,
01:04:13the war will be over next year.
01:04:14Good luck!
01:04:15Oh, so long.
01:04:16I'll see you.
01:04:17I'll see you.
01:04:18I'll see you.
01:04:19Hey, look!
01:04:20You see what I see?
01:04:21Oh, no.
01:04:22It can't be.
01:04:29Ivy!
01:04:30Salute your superior officer.
01:04:32Yes, sir.
01:04:33Yes, ma'am.
01:04:34Private Lions, get in.
01:04:35Yes, ma'am.
01:04:40Boy, ain't this a swell army?
01:04:41Where else could a buck private
01:04:42kiss a second lieutenant and like it?
01:04:44In spite of all my objections.
