00:20:02And now, ladies and gentlemen, the winner.
00:20:04Danny Lyons will receive the coveted amateur boxing belt.
00:20:07It'll take you ten years to work this off.
00:20:10And you'll start tomorrow.
00:20:12Sensational champ.
00:20:13Oh, boy!
00:20:13You have to be from the ringside.
00:20:15Oh, man!
00:20:15You hit that guy so hard with that Bolo, they're still counting over him.
00:20:18Will that Muggs be surprised?
00:20:19I'm not very surprised.
00:20:21Muggs, where have you been?
00:20:22What happened to you?
00:20:23I've been around.
00:20:24Don't worry.
00:20:25We won the championship.
00:20:26Gee, Muggs, when you didn't show up, we didn't know what to do, so...
00:20:29You did all right, kid.
00:20:30My friends took very good care of me.
00:20:32My friends?
00:20:33What are you talking about?
00:20:35Might as well tell you, fellas.
00:20:37Danny fixed it up so he could fight tonight instead of me.
00:20:40Well, Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:41Well, I...
00:20:41Yeah, yeah, playing dumb, huh?
00:20:42Did you figure this out all by yourself?
00:20:44I don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:45I wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:20:46No, you wouldn't do it, but you hired a couple of palookas to take me for a ride until this
00:20:49fight was over.
00:20:50Hey, is he making with the truth?
00:20:51Is that on a level?
00:20:52Yeah, what goes on?
00:20:53Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:54You've got to believe me you're wrong.
00:20:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
00:20:56Incidentally, this belt belongs to me.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Okay, Muggs.
00:21:02What about the car and those guys?
00:21:04I know.
00:21:04You never heard nothing about it.
00:21:06Of course, you know I'm still champ around here.
00:21:08Sure, Muggs, we...
00:21:09Well, just to prove it...
00:21:11Hey, wait a minute!
00:21:12What's the matter, boy?
00:21:13What's the matter, boys?
00:21:14What's the matter, boys?
00:21:15Well, I'm going out and sure to press the real champ.
00:21:17Take care of him.
00:21:17I've got to take some pictures.
00:21:18I will, I will.
00:21:19I'll take care of him.
00:21:20I think Danny's coming.
00:21:22I'm sure anxious to see him.
00:21:26Hello, Mom.
00:21:27Hello, Mr. Gender.
00:21:28Congratulations, Danny.
00:21:29You were great tonight.
00:21:31We heard the whole thing on the radio.
00:21:33Where's the belt you won?
00:21:34Oh, the belt?
00:21:36You won it, didn't you?
00:21:38Yeah, I won it.
00:21:39But I lost it.
00:21:41Lost it?
00:21:42Where?
00:21:42How could you lose it?
00:21:47I'll tell you all about it later, Mom.
00:21:48Sure, Danny.
00:21:49Oh, by the way, one of my boys left for the army this afternoon.
00:21:53You can have the job tomorrow.
00:21:55Gee, that's swell, Mr. Gendick.
00:21:56I'll be there first thing in the morning.
00:21:59Good night, Mrs. Lange.
00:22:00Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:22:05Danny, what about the belt?
00:22:08Well, I...
00:22:08I didn't exactly lose it, Mom.
00:22:10The east side has it.
00:22:12The east side has it?
00:22:14Well, I gave it to Muggs.
00:22:15If I didn't, it would have meant a brawl.
00:22:18Mom, why don't you let me go out and teach him a lesson?
00:22:20Danny, as long as I live, I will never have a son of mine fighting on the streets.
00:22:24But, Mom...
00:22:25You...
00:22:35Hey, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:39Muggs is gonna hit Danny Lyons so hard, they're gonna count him out in the air.
00:22:43He's gonna give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear.
00:22:46In fact, he's gonna make him the only kid in this block with a built-in victory garden.
00:22:50He's so tough, he told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:53He told Joe Lewis where to get off? Are you kidding?
00:22:55Well, they were riding on the same streetcar.
00:22:59What do you say, champ?
00:23:00It's a pleasure to stand up here and look down at all these smiling and intelligent faces.
00:23:04Now, don't you folks think the phony champ ought to come out and fight like a real man?
00:23:08Yes.
00:23:09Well, then, call him.
00:23:11Daddy!
00:23:12That's the matter what you are. You're trying to make yourself conspicuous?
00:23:15Now, call him conservatively.
00:23:16Daddy!
00:23:20Take it easy, champ. I don't want you to bruise that hand you're fighting next week.
00:23:24Mugs McGuinness, beat it!
00:23:27That's how Danny comes down. I want to give him a little lesson in pugilistic art.
00:23:31He's working.
00:23:32Working, huh? Whose baby carriage is he pushing now?
00:23:36Go and find out for yourself. Go over to Lewis Gendick's garage.
00:23:43Gendick's?
00:23:44Sir, that Mooch is muscling on my territory again. You know how long ago I was promised that job?
00:23:48How long?
00:23:49Six months. A hundred and eighty days.
00:23:51What are you going to do about it?
00:23:52It ain't going to be pleasant to watch.
00:23:54Give me the crown, champ.
00:23:55Stoney! Skinny! Take this back to Joe to peddle.
00:23:58Right.
00:24:02Thanks very much. Come back again.
00:24:21Hiya, fellas. What's cooking?
00:24:22Still crawling in front of me, huh?
00:24:24Last night you fixed it so I can't make the fight.
00:24:26Now you take the job that I was supposed to have.
00:24:28Not in a million years, McGuinness.
00:24:30Your memory must be depreciating, Gendick. You promised me this job.
00:24:33Sure, I remember. But when I put anybody to work around here, I want a gentleman.
00:24:37Not an irresponsible nerdy well like you.
00:24:40Since when do you call this double-crosser a gentleman?
00:24:43On your way, troublemaker.
00:24:45Come on, fellas. The atmosphere is getting a little dense around here.
00:24:49Why don't you two guys go play ping pong with a time bomb?
00:24:53If he was my son, I'd give him an old-fashioned talking to right over my knee.
00:25:00Sometimes I can't figure, Muggs.
00:25:03I wonder if he could take the same kind of medicine he dishes out.
00:25:13Yes, sir.
00:25:14Oh, it's you. Hi.
00:25:15Hello, champ.
00:25:16What do you want? Regular or Ethel?
00:25:18What's so funny?
00:25:20You cost me some dough last night.
00:25:21And incidentally, you can thank me for getting in that ring.
00:25:24What? You mean...
00:25:25Yeah, yeah. I finally got it even with Muggs.
00:25:27Cost me some dough, but it was worth it.
00:25:30How many gallons do you want?
00:25:32Make it three, and here's my ration book.
00:25:35And don't be so gloomy.
00:25:38Don't forget, Danny's name is going to be stricken from the record.
00:25:41He's out of the club intimately, ultimately, and forever.
00:25:44Why not get his next year's dues first?
00:25:46Find anybody there, huh?
00:25:46Never mind his next year's dues.
00:25:48He's out right now, presently, henceforth around.
00:25:51Oh, you're a big man, aren't you?
00:25:53Oh.
00:25:58Check the oil?
00:25:59No, here.
00:26:00Thanks.
00:26:01I'll be seeing you, champ.
00:26:10Mr. Gendick, could I take about ten minutes off?
00:26:13Why, sure, Danny.
00:26:15Thanks a lot.
00:26:19Azov, the 15th instinct of the month quote.
00:26:22Hey, how do you spell Azov?
00:26:23Azov?
00:26:24I don't know.
00:26:25Strike it from the records.
00:26:26I asked the president of this club, hereby alone, unanimously ostracize Danny Lyons from this club.
00:26:32And if he knows what's good for him, he won't come around anymore.
00:26:41Hey, chairman at arms, see who that is.
00:26:43Maybe somebody trying to break the lease.
00:26:45Now, with all the good news comes a little bad.
00:26:47Hey, Muggs!
00:26:48It's Danny.
00:26:49Never heard of him.
00:26:50Come on.
00:26:50I've just been advised that Muggs would not enjoy the pleasure of your company.
00:26:55Well, I'm still a member of this gang.
00:26:57I'm glad I told you not to let him in here.
00:26:59I ain't no second front.
00:27:00Listen to me, Muggs, and the rest of you fellas.
00:27:02What did you do?
00:27:02Come over here to cry on my shoulders?
00:27:04I didn't come down here to cry on anybody's shoulder.
00:27:06I have an idea that Harry Wyckoff was behind that whole mess last night.
00:27:10Sure he was.
00:27:11You and Harry worked together.
00:27:12Oh, you're crazy.
00:27:14Well, the last time I saw Harry was at the...
00:27:15Was at the pool room.
00:27:16And now I know why you didn't switch that chalk like I told her.
00:27:19You wanted Harry to win.
00:27:21Well, Muggs, you've got to believe me.
00:27:22I'm on the square with you.
00:27:24No, I think I know why you came down here.
00:27:26To encounter Ivy.
00:27:27Ivy?
00:27:28What's she got to do with it?
00:27:29She's got a lot to do with it.
00:27:30Just in case you thought I didn't want you two going out together.
00:27:33Well, you come down here and try to worm your way out of this thing.
00:27:35Just like you're doing now.
00:27:37Muggs, you don't even give me a chance.
00:27:39I ain't giving away no chances.
00:27:40And furthermore, stay away with my sister.
00:27:54Danny!
00:27:56Are you coming to the dance tonight, Danny?
00:27:57Yeah, I don't know.
00:27:58Maybe.
00:27:59Maybe?
00:28:00Why, everybody's going to the dance.
00:28:01Remember, I'm giving away 50 bucks to the best amateur jitterbug team.
00:28:04Yeah, I know.
00:28:05I could sure use that 50.
00:28:07Come to think of it, I could too.
00:28:13Oh, what am I doing?
00:28:14I'm giving it away.
00:28:16Hey, look!
00:28:17There's Klinkhammer.
00:28:18He's running for sheriff.
00:28:19You mean running from sheriff.
00:28:20It ain't sheriff's assemblyman.
00:28:22And furthermore, he ain't running.
00:28:23He's just champagne-ing.
00:28:25I'm surprised a man of my ignorance don't know nothing.
00:28:27Well, I'll see you tonight, Mr. Klinkhammer.
00:28:29Okay, Danny.
00:28:31Well, hello, boys.
00:28:32Hi.
00:28:32Hiya, Klinky.
00:28:34It's Klinkhammer.
00:28:35Okay, Sinkhandle.
00:28:37Hey!
00:28:37Weather clear.
00:28:38Track fast.
00:28:39Looks like a Mickey Finn with fuzz on it.
00:28:41Man, look at that hair.
00:28:42A beautiful skin.
00:28:43Every time I look at it, I want to put it on my finger and then start bowling.
00:28:48Very funny.
00:28:49Well, I suppose you boys all have your partners for the big dance tonight.
00:28:51I don't need no partner.
00:28:52I can win it alone.
00:28:53I got a dame that's solid.
00:28:55Z-O-I-L-T.
00:28:56Hey, look, are you going to give Wes more of that counterfeit money?
00:28:58I certainly am.
00:29:00Counterfeit?
00:29:01Why, my money's good.
00:29:02Always has been.
00:29:03Yeah, the last time you gave me a five Lincoln was winking.
00:29:06Well, look, boys.
00:29:07I got to go now.
00:29:07I got to pay a little social call on your folks, you know.
00:29:10Well, I'm off.
00:29:12You're not kidding.
00:29:13You are off.
00:29:14See you later, Klinky.
00:29:15If clothes make the man, you got a long way to go, son.
00:29:18See you later.
00:29:20Step down, sir.
00:29:25Yeah, Milky.
00:29:26Keep the change.
00:29:27Thank you, sir.
00:29:29Hey, Mr. Scroo.
00:29:30Fine.
00:29:30How are you, fellas?
00:29:31Hi, Pop.
00:29:32Hi, Ray.
00:29:32Where you been to, a Turkish man?
00:29:34This is out getting a shine.
00:29:35It's got to look neat once in a while, don't I?
00:29:36Take over.
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:39I'm only hip to what you're talking about.
00:29:40Hey, Jackson, you know that shop he had just shined up?
00:29:43Yeah.
00:29:43Well, who's that big colloca he's talking to in there?
00:29:45He's a friend of my boss.
00:29:46He works here.
00:29:47Hey, Muggs, maybe Danny was right.
00:29:49Sure, maybe he was right, but that still don't prove he didn't have nothing to do with it.
00:29:53Look, you kids.
00:29:54If anything's cooking on your brains, don't do it around here.
00:29:57And for you, my Lily Clips, you take over while I go home and see your mama.
00:30:02Give me a shine, boy.
00:30:03Look at that, Pop.
00:30:03I'm allergic to this pollen.
00:30:05Hey, boy, give me a shine.
00:30:06If you give me a shine, I'll polish you off, but quick if you don't get out of that chair.
00:30:11But that's a good sort.
00:30:14See, you came around to pay off a little bull dead, huh?
00:30:16Yeah, we came around to pay off, all right.
00:30:19What do you want?
00:30:20Where's that young elephant you was just talking to?
00:30:22I didn't see nobody.
00:30:24Well, you got a stigmatism, huh?
00:30:26You paying much protection lately, Wyckoff?
00:30:29What's it to you?
00:30:30Oh, nothing.
00:30:31Nothing at all.
00:30:32How much you lose on the fight last night?
00:30:35I think you lost a little more than I did, huh?
00:30:37How would you like to lose consciousness?
00:30:39What's the matter?
00:30:39Can't you take a little rib?
00:30:41Maybe a laughing boy knows a little about this, huh?
00:30:43Look, fellas, this ain't no pool hall.
00:30:45Now get out of here before I call the cops.
00:30:47Call the cops?
00:30:48That's a funny one.
00:30:49Go ahead and call them.
00:30:50We'll lead them right into that back room there and let them place a couple of bets.
00:30:54And speaking of bets, there's a couple of newspaper men back there that we're going to place a little parlay
00:30:58on.
00:30:59But I wouldn't bet them the win.
00:31:07What are you kids wanting here?
00:31:09Oh, we just come around to renew acquaintances.
00:31:12Hello, kid.
00:31:13Now, kid, so you remember me, huh?
00:31:15I thought you'd try to say you was a couple other guys.
00:31:18I don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:20That lapse of memory.
00:31:21All right, outside.
00:31:22Get going.
00:31:22Sure, we'll get going.
00:31:23You hear what he says, fellas?
00:31:24Well, let's go.
00:31:25Give me a call, Mick.
00:31:26I'll get my phone.
00:31:32Hey.
00:31:33I wonder what time the floor show goes on.
00:31:36What's Hartzett face doing up there?
00:31:38Where's the judge?
00:31:39Must be out to lunch.
00:31:40Gee, a lady judge.
00:31:42Next case, please.
00:31:44Benny Miller.
00:31:46Joe Collins.
00:31:49Harold Stone.
00:31:49No.
00:31:51That's Bert McGinnis.
00:31:54That's Bert McGinnis.
00:31:55Hey, Moss!
00:32:03Do people usually call you by that name Muggs?
00:32:06No, that's because he's so homely.
00:32:08I mean, tough.
00:32:09Tough?
00:32:10Only my friends call me Muggs.
00:32:12I don't think you'd know a friend if you saw one.
00:32:15I'm his friend.
00:32:16Thanks, Glenn.
00:32:17I don't suppose any of you boys have got a job.
00:32:20A job?
00:32:20I worked once.
00:32:21I was a pin setter.
00:32:22What is a pin setter?
00:32:24They knock him down.
00:32:25I set him up.
00:32:26Gee, judge.
00:32:27Ain't you never bold?
00:32:30Stop that.
00:32:32Sorry, Miss, Your Honor.
00:32:35Didn't get much sleep last night.
00:32:36I can't see no point in discussing Glimpy's career.
00:32:39The issue is, are we going to the Hooskowl or ain't we?
00:32:42Whether I send you there or someone else does,
00:32:44eventually that's where you're going to wind up.
00:32:47I can't understand it.
00:32:49You boys are supposed to be good American citizens.
00:32:52While our soldiers are fighting for peace, you're disturbing it.
00:32:56There's a hundred and one things that you can do to throw a war effort.
00:32:59And I'm going to give you a chance to do it.
00:33:01Go on home and don't let me catch you back here again.
00:33:05Okay.
00:33:06Thanks, Miss Judge.
00:33:09So long there, Charlie.
00:33:13Where do you think you're going?
00:33:18You said the case was dismissed.
00:33:20The case was dismissed for them.
00:33:22They were brought in here for disturbing the peace.
00:33:23You were brought in here for book making.
00:33:25This is your second offense.
00:33:27How do you plead?
00:33:29Guilty.
00:33:31Six months each.
00:33:33Next case, please.
00:33:36I'll see you fellas later.
00:33:38I got a little date.
00:33:39Marks, can I go with you maybe, honey?
00:33:40No, this is personal.
00:33:42Okay.
00:33:44Hey fellas, you want to go over to the pool room, huh?
00:33:45Didn't you hear what that judge said?
00:33:48Hey, I wonder where he's going.
00:33:50Let's find out.
00:34:00Hey, Danny.
00:34:02I've had a change of disposition.
00:34:04Yeah?
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:07Hey, Muggs is talking to Danny.
00:34:09Hey, what do you know about that?
00:34:11You can take Ivy to that dance tonight.
00:34:14Thanks, I appreciate that.
00:34:16That's nothing.
00:34:16Nothing at all.
00:34:18About that fight.
00:34:20I found out about Wyckoff.
00:34:21Oh, did he tell you how much I paid him for the job?
00:34:23Right so you wasn't in on it.
00:34:25It's a lucky break for you, that's all.
00:34:28By the way, we're having a meeting tomorrow night.
00:34:31The last I heard, I was kicked out of the club.
00:34:33Yeah, well, I kicked you back in.
00:34:35I'll see you later.
00:34:40Don't wait up for me.
00:34:44You're a nice girl, Patricia May, but we got nothing in common.
00:34:47You can't even shoot a game of pool.
00:34:50If that's the way you feel about it, you better hang up.
00:34:56Guess that's the way she felt about it.
00:34:58I hope Danny likes his dress.
00:35:00Well, I don't see why not.
00:35:01He sees you in it every day.
00:35:03Oh, not there.
00:35:08Well, good evening, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:35:10Won't you come in, Danny?
00:35:12Hello.
00:35:12Hello, Ivy.
00:35:13Are you ready?
00:35:13I will be in just a minute.
00:35:14Wait till I get my coat.
00:35:15Okay.
00:35:16Mr. Danny lines to see Miss Ivy McGinnis.
00:35:19Prepare for a lull.
00:35:21Very funny bit.
00:35:23Do you expect to win that 50 tonight?
00:35:25We're sure gonna try.
00:35:27Well, you should know a couple of good steps by now.
00:35:29You've been practicing for 300 years.
00:35:32Now, take me, for instance.
00:35:33I'm gonna win that Mazuma tonight, and I ain't had no practicing at all.
00:35:35You're going to dance tonight, Mugs?
00:35:37Who's your partner?
00:35:38Anybody I know?
00:35:39I didn't know you went in for dances, Mugs.
00:35:41I'm ambidextrous.
00:35:42Tonight you're gonna find out that I can beat you with my feet as well as my hands.
00:35:46Come on, Danny, let's go.
00:35:48Good luck, kids.
00:35:49Be home early.
00:35:50Good night, Mugs.
00:35:50Good night.
00:35:51Good night, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:35:52Have a good time.
00:35:54Don't slam the door, Schlemiel.
00:35:58I'm sorry, Ma.
00:35:59I don't like to be crude like that.
00:36:01But that guy brings out the bad side in me.
00:36:03Did I hear you say you were going to the dance?
00:36:06When did you decide on that?
00:36:08Just now.
00:36:08A little spontaneous conclusion.
00:36:11Hey, Ma, do me a favor, will you?
00:36:13Press this shirt and block this hat.
00:36:15You're not going to the dance in those clothes.
00:36:18No.
00:36:19No, I guess not.
00:36:20Well, how about that outfit I used to wear when I was a choir boy?
00:36:23I'll get it for you.
00:36:26Choir boy.
00:36:36The
00:36:37When a body beat a body coming through the rye.
00:36:45When a body kiss a body, get a body cry.
00:36:51When a lassie has a laddie
00:36:57Need they say
00:36:59Oh, in all the land
00:37:04They smile at me
00:37:05When coming through the ride
00:37:10Hi!
00:37:29Good evening, Mrs. Ginnick
00:37:30Good evening, Danny
00:37:31Hello, Mr. Ginnick
00:37:32I wish you luck in the contest this evening
00:37:34Oh, thank you
00:37:34Thanks a lot
00:37:36See, that band sounds swell, doesn't it, huh?
00:37:38Sure does
00:37:38Danny, look, I can't believe it
00:37:40It's Muggs with a girl
00:37:41I wonder who she is
00:37:44Muggs, how'd you get here so fast?
00:37:45We had enough of birth on Superman
00:37:47Well, I'll see you later
00:37:48Good luck, Muggs
00:37:49You'll need it
00:37:53And why don't you check this hat?
00:37:54That's too much
00:37:55When coming through the ride
00:38:18And now for the benefit of you
00:38:20Swing shifters
00:38:22That is, those of you
00:38:23Who have to go home early
00:38:26We're going to have
00:38:27The amateur jitterbug contest immediately
00:38:30Now all those contestants
00:38:31Will kindly come up to the table
00:38:33And get your numbers
00:38:34See, we have numbers
00:38:34To put on your back
00:38:35Every one of you
00:38:36Plenty of them
00:38:37Come on, folks
00:38:37Up to the table
00:38:45Dancing alone?
00:38:47Hey, Glumpy, are you in the contest?
00:38:49Sure
00:38:49I didn't know you were jitterbug
00:38:51Are you kidding?
00:38:52Me and the members of my family
00:38:53Have been bugs for years
00:38:54Oh, well, where's your suit called?
00:38:55Suit coat?
00:38:56Couldn't wear it
00:38:56It's got a hole in the knee
00:38:57Hey, look, if you don't mind
00:38:58We have a contest down here
00:39:00Hey, if she falls down
00:39:01She'll be home
00:39:05Got this thing just as good as one
00:39:07What's the use of dancing
00:39:08A couple hours
00:39:08And expending all that energy
00:39:09Good luck, Mark
00:39:10I don't need no luck
00:39:11This thing's in the bag
00:39:12Yeah?
00:39:13I hope there's a hole in the bag
00:39:14Huh?
00:39:16Your number
00:39:16I don't like that number
00:39:17Give me the other one, will you, boss?
00:39:19No, it's no good
00:39:20That's my lucky number
00:39:21Five, five
00:39:22That's the one
00:39:23You better be lucky, Mark
00:39:26Well, you're being very pessimistic
00:39:29Okay, boys
00:39:30Let her go
00:39:35Let her go
00:40:00Oh, let her go
00:40:04cloth Jole
00:40:06Oh, sir
00:40:07Oh, sir
00:40:07Oh, sir
00:40:10God, sir
00:40:10Youuck
00:40:12Ha, ha
00:40:14Uh, man
00:40:15Oh, sir
00:40:16Oh, sir
00:40:19Oh, sir
00:40:22That's right
00:40:23Oh, sir
00:41:03What you doing here for all the property?
00:41:06Dispose of that thing.
00:41:07No, sir.
00:41:07I said it done.
00:41:51Oh, get your old girls.
00:41:54Come on, second front.
00:41:55Let's get some milk.
00:42:16I was getting close to Victor Dummer time.
00:42:18Old mugs are sure to win.
00:43:45Give me the 50, quick stammer.
00:43:48I've told you a thousand times, my name is Klughammer, er, Klinkhammer.
00:43:51Yeah, yeah, we'll overlook your personal difficulties.
00:43:53Shoot the foodie to me, snooty.
00:44:00No.
00:44:01I don't like that looking, you're right.
00:44:04I'm sorry, kids.
00:44:06What are you sorry about?
00:44:07I won, didn't I?
00:44:09Well, that all depends.
00:44:11Young lady, do you work at the Silver Slipper Dance Hall?
00:44:13Well, in a way.
00:44:15And you get paid for dancing?
00:44:17Yes, I guess so.
00:44:19Well, that settles it.
00:44:20I'm sorry.
00:44:20I can't give you the prize money.
00:44:22Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please.
00:44:24Attention.
00:44:26Unfortunately, Mr. McGinnis has been dancing with a professional.
00:44:29Daddy, do you expect me to win with an amateur?
00:44:31I've got to have some personal handicap, don't I?
00:44:33Will you please stop butting in when I'm interrupting?
00:44:36Mr. McGinnis has been disqualified,
00:44:38and the real winners of the East Side Amateur Jitterbug Contest
00:44:43are Danny Lyons and Ivy McGinnis.
00:44:48Danny!
00:44:48Danny, we won!
00:44:49We won!
00:44:50Oh, Muggs isn't going to like this.
00:44:54All right, champions, come and get your money.
00:44:56You're full of perjury, you know that.
00:44:57I won that contest all by myself.
00:44:59I just used the slightest bit of assistance
00:45:01from this young, innocent girl here.
00:45:03Muggs, I told you before, you're disqualified.
00:45:05That means scram.
00:45:07Oh, come on, Muggs.
00:45:08We had fun anyway.
00:45:10Congratulations, Danny, and you too.
00:45:12Thanks a lot.
00:45:13Well, half of this is yours, Ivy.
00:45:14Oh, that's all right, Danny.
00:45:15You keep it for a while.
00:45:17Okay.
00:45:19I've been playing second fiddle you for a long time, Lyons,
00:45:22but you're going to look awful funny playing a harp.
00:45:24Uh-uh.
00:45:25Now, now, no fester cuffs.
00:45:26That's it.
00:45:27Go part your hair, breakaway.
00:45:31All right, everybody dance,
00:45:33and let the arches follow where they may.
00:45:35Every...
00:45:44Muggs, you had to lose that contest after all that fancy hooping.
00:45:47Yes, indeed, Muggs.
00:45:49How did you learn all those fancy steps?
00:45:50I invented them.
00:45:51You're a real hip cat, Pop.
00:45:53You're a killer, baby.
00:45:54Ah, Danny, congratulations.
00:45:56Both of you.
00:45:56That was great stuff.
00:45:57Oh, thank you.
00:45:58Thanks a lot.
00:45:59John, sure, sorry you got disqualified, Muggs.
00:46:01I never saw anybody look any sorrier.
00:46:03Oh, cheer up, Muggs.
00:46:04It's all in the family anyway.
00:46:06Well, the drinks are on us.
00:46:07What do you have?
00:46:07I have an Andre.
00:46:08Hi, Larry.
00:46:10What are you going to have, Muggs?
00:46:10I'd like to have a few words with you.
00:46:13There's a lot of little things we got to discuss.
00:46:16About 50 of them.
00:46:17But I think we better do it in private.
00:46:20Okay, Muggs.
00:46:21Excuse me, honey.
00:46:22I'll be right back.
00:46:23Yeah, he'll be right back.
00:46:27Hey, Jimmy, it's too bad.
00:46:28You were disqualified.
00:46:29Professional jealousy.
00:46:31Well, you have kids.
00:46:31Glippie's mine.
00:46:32Already got mine.
00:46:33Oh, and Jade.
00:46:34Me too, lemonade.
00:46:35Just make mine water.
00:46:36I'm driving.
00:46:37Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:46:40Come on, fork over to 50.
00:46:42You've been holding it long enough.
00:46:43But, Muggs, we won the contest.
00:46:45Technically, yes.
00:46:46Financially, no.
00:46:47Come on.
00:46:47Hatch to scratch.
00:46:50You were disqualified.
00:46:51Besides, part of this money is Ivies.
00:46:53I'll take care of the distribution.
00:46:55Muggs, Danny, what's the matter?
00:46:56You'll get back to your lemonade.
00:46:57It's a little personal matter.
00:46:59Now, come on.
00:46:59Get it on the line.
00:47:01You can't stand to lose, can you?
00:47:03No, I can't.
00:47:04If you don't give me that dough,
00:47:05I'm going to belt you one right on the chin.
00:47:07Now, make what to take.
00:47:10Danny, don't do it.
00:47:12Just because he's my brother,
00:47:13don't let him knock you around.
00:47:15That money belongs to us.
00:47:17My palm is itching,
00:47:18and my left is raring to go.
00:47:20If you're going to get it up,
00:47:21I'll give you one more chance.
00:47:25Okay, Muggs, if that's the way you want it.
00:47:27That's just the way I want it.
00:47:29Half of that's Ivies.
00:47:30Don't forget.
00:47:30I don't want any part of it.
00:47:32Wait a minute, Ivy.
00:47:33I'll take you home.
00:47:34I can find my own way home.
00:47:37Spoken like a true McGinnis.
00:47:39Well, so long, champ.
00:47:55Hey, Danny.
00:47:57Wait a minute.
00:47:59You're leaving the dance rather early, aren't you?
00:48:02Well, I was getting pretty tired.
00:48:05Doesn't everyone take what Muggs hands out?
00:48:07I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:48:09I know that.
00:48:10But he thinks you are.
00:48:13Did you ever think of joining another gang?
00:48:15That'd be running away.
00:48:16Not the outfit I'm talking about.
00:48:18They'll be glad to get you.
00:48:20They will sooner or later.
00:48:22You'll be fighting all kinds of bullies.
00:48:25Like Muggs?
00:48:26Worse.
00:48:27These bullies are called Japs and Nazis.
00:48:30You mean the Army?
00:48:32That won't be running away, Danny.
00:48:34That's real fighting.
00:48:36They tried to get me and 17, but couldn't finish the job.
00:48:41There I go, talking about that again.
00:48:45We'll talk it over some more.
00:48:47See you in the morning, Danny.
00:48:49Yes, sir.
00:48:51Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:48:52Good night.
00:48:57And then I met Mr. Gendick outside.
00:49:00Your father and Mr. Louis Gendick were very good friends.
00:49:03They fought together over in France.
00:49:06I'll bet Pop was a good soldier.
00:49:09One of the best.
00:49:11What are you thinking of, Danny?
00:49:15I'm thinking what a lot of us fellas should have done weeks ago.
00:49:19I'm joining the Army, with your consent.
00:49:24For that kind of fighting, Danny, always.
00:49:27I'm proud to have you go.
00:49:33I wonder what Ivy will think.
00:49:35Do you mean to say that Danny stood there and did nothing about it?
00:49:41Muggs might be a bully and all that, but Danny doesn't even stand up for his own rights.
00:49:45Well, it seems to me that if Danny had a little of what Muggs has, and vice versa, you'd have
00:49:51something.
00:50:00You still like Danny, don't you, honey?
00:50:03I suppose.
00:50:12R-Q-O-P-L-Y-Z-M...
00:50:16R-Q-O-P-L-Y-Z-M...
00:50:16Hello, Gliffy.
00:50:16Don't tell me you want to go to work.
00:50:18Wake!
00:50:19Just give myself an eye test.
00:50:20Hey, what happened to Danny?
00:50:21You fired him?
00:50:22Danny quit.
00:50:23Quit?
00:50:24What'd he do?
00:50:24Let failure go to his head?
00:50:25He had a special reason of his own.
00:50:28I don't think you boys are going to see him around so much.
00:50:30Okay, I'll play straight.
00:50:31Tell me.
00:50:33Danny's joined a new gang.
00:50:34New gang?
00:50:35Bring him around and rip their heads again and make a bonfire out of him.
00:50:38But this gang's really tough.
00:50:40Tough?
00:50:40That's different.
00:50:42New gang?
00:50:43Muggs ain't going to like this.
00:50:45Fantastic.
00:50:46How do you make those hangers, Muggs?
00:50:47Just practice.
00:50:48Just practice.
00:50:48That's all.
00:50:49Hey!
00:50:49I can remember one time in Chicago...
00:50:51Hey!
00:50:51Get a load of this!
00:50:51Don't move on, I gotta tell you.
00:50:52Listen quietly.
00:50:53Listen.
00:50:53Listen.
00:50:54Now speak English.
00:50:55Danny's left.
00:50:55He's gone away.
00:50:56Why do I care about Danny?
00:50:57Yeah, but he's joined a new gang.
00:50:58What gang?
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:00Gendick wouldn't tell me.
00:51:00What's Gendick know about it?
00:51:02Nothing.
00:51:03As long as he said it was very tough and they control the whole country.
00:51:06I'm going to get even with Gendick one of these days.
00:51:08Yeah, he always sticks up with Danny.
00:51:10That's why you never got that job.
00:51:12I'll tell you what to do.
00:51:13You fellas scatter around and see what you can find out about Danny and his new gang of
00:51:16his and come back here and let me know.
00:51:20Come out of your tone deaf.
00:51:22Oh, don't be so gruesome.
00:51:31Hey, Mugs.
00:51:32What is this about Danny?
00:51:33Oh, I'd rather not talk about it.
00:51:35Nick!
00:51:36Nick!
00:51:37Hello, Peter.
00:51:38What's the matter?
00:51:39Look, look what they did.
00:51:45Murderous.
00:51:45My parents.
00:51:47What do I do about them?
00:51:49Oh, don't worry, Peter.
00:51:50Go over to the consulate.
00:51:52He will advise you what to do.
00:51:55You mean to say those Nazis just walked in and snuffed out a whole town just like that?
00:51:59Yes.
00:52:00It was no bigger than our neighborhood from Mott Street to this block.
00:52:06Hey, Nick.
00:52:07What's this?
00:52:08What are you doing?
00:52:09Going to school or something?
00:52:10Or this?
00:52:13I'm studying to be an American citizen.
00:52:16You mean to say you ain't a citizen?
00:52:18I soon will be.
00:52:20As soon as I know what's in here.
00:52:22Is it very tough?
00:52:24Some of the questions are easy, and others you have to study again and again.
00:52:29I don't see why you have to know all that stuff.
00:52:31That's the trouble with you and a lot of people.
00:52:34You take your citizenship for granted.
00:52:36You should know all these things, just like you know the name of your friends.
00:52:40I know the whole book from cover to cover.
00:52:42Go ahead, ask me some questions.
00:52:44All right.
00:52:45What are the first ten amendments called?
00:52:51Better ask me another question.
00:52:52The book's full of them, ain't it?
00:52:53Oh, if you don't know that, there's no use of going any further.
00:52:56The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights.
00:53:00Did you ever read them?
00:53:02Not recently.
00:53:04Well, the Bill of Rights simply means freedom and protection.
00:53:07It has a lot of clauses, but after all in all, it's like the fall of freedom the president talks
00:53:13about.
00:53:15Well, uh, those people must have kind of missed the boat on that setup, huh?
00:53:19Oh, but they will get those things pretty soon.
00:53:23That's why our boys are journeying the army.
00:53:27You mean all those fellows used to come in here and shoot pool and all those guys that had joined
00:53:30the army, they know all about this Bill of Rights and Amendments?
00:53:32Maybe not, but in their hearts they know, like you, Muggs.
00:53:39I saw your face when you read that paper.
00:53:43I didn't have to tell you about the Bill of Rights.
00:53:47Americans are born with it in their hearts, and it just has to come out soon or later.
00:54:07Where are you going, Muggs?
00:54:18Guess what? Guess what?
00:54:20What?
00:54:20Danny's joined the army.
00:54:21Danny did what?
00:54:22Don't you hear my voice? Danny's joined the army.
00:54:24Maybe he wants to fight now.
00:54:26Yeah, I'm just in the mood.
00:54:28What are you going to do?
00:54:30I'm going to do nothing.
00:54:32Exactly nothing.
00:54:44What's the matter, Muggs?
00:54:57What's the trouble, Muggs? I've never seen you this way before.
00:55:01What's wrong with me anyway, Ma?
00:55:03Why say that? There's nothing ever wrong with a McGuinness.
00:55:06Everything I do turns out wrong.
00:55:08I'm always making enemies.
00:55:10I don't like to hurt nobody, Ma.
00:55:12I always try to do the right thing.
00:55:15Once in a while, I've got to kick the fellas around the club a little bit, but that's just to
00:55:18show them I'm the leader. That's all.
00:55:20What's the real trouble, Muggs?
00:55:24I want your consent that you're in the army.
00:55:26What brought this on?
00:55:29Well, Danny's in the army.
00:55:31Strutting around like a peacock in that new uniform.
00:55:34It's with the brass buttons and everything.
00:55:36Look, Ma, I can beat Danny.
00:55:38I can beat him in anything.
00:55:38I've been beating him all my life.
00:55:40If he's a private, I'll be a captain.
00:55:42I'll be a major.
00:55:42I can still beat him.
00:55:45If that's the reason you want to join, I don't think you'll make a good soldier.
00:55:51That's not the reason, Ma.
00:55:52There's other reasons I can't explain them.
00:55:54Just give me your consent, will you?
00:55:56No.
00:55:57Not until you draft it, or I think you really want to fight for your country and not just to
00:56:03show Danny up.
00:56:15Well, Muggs never kept you away from Ivy.
00:56:19No, and he won't be able to after tonight.
00:56:22More away than one.
00:56:25Look, Ma.
00:56:27An engagement dream.
00:56:29It's pretty, isn't it?
00:56:31I know someday you and Ivy would.
00:56:33Does she know?
00:56:35No, I didn't know whether to tell Muggs first, or...
00:56:40Tell Muggs?
00:56:41Get on your feet, soldier.
00:56:44Now you listen to me, Danny Lyons.
00:56:47You're a man now.
00:56:49Sooner or later Muggs McGinnis is going to find this out.
00:56:52You go and give that ring to Ivy.
00:56:55And forget about Muggs.
00:56:57Thanks, Ma.
00:57:15Hey, wait a minute.
00:57:16You cheated.
00:57:17How can you win a game of solitaire without cheating?
00:57:20At least once.
00:57:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:57:22I've seen him.
00:57:22I've seen him.
00:57:23I've seen him.
00:57:23Quit those semi-hysterics.
00:57:25You've seen who?
00:57:26I saw Danny in his uniform.
00:57:27He even saluted me.
00:57:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:57:30What's the matter?
00:57:30Come to think of it, he didn't have his thumb in the right place.
00:57:34Where was he going?
00:57:35Towards your house.
00:57:36He was, huh?
00:57:37Going to strut his uniform up in front of Ivy.
00:57:39Where you going?
00:57:40Oh, I'm going to have a little chat with him, that's all.
00:57:42Wait a minute.
00:57:43With Danny in the army, you can't boss him around like you used to.
00:57:46I'm still head man around here.
00:57:47You fellas follow me at a safe distance, and you'll find out whether or not I can boss him.
00:58:01Why, Danny.
00:58:02Hello, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:58:03Where did you get back?
00:58:04Well, I got in about an hour ago.
00:58:05Oh, wait till Ivy sees you.
00:58:07Ivy!
00:58:08Why, you look fine in your uniform.
00:58:10I think you've put some weight on.
00:58:11You look splendid.
00:58:13How have you been?
00:58:14Well, Danny.
00:58:14What a surprise.
00:58:16Hello, Ivy.
00:58:16I brought you some popcorn.
00:58:18Oh, popcorn?
00:58:19Well, I've heard a boy's bringing orchids and candy, but never popcorn.
00:58:23Oh, my dear, please.
00:58:24Well, I suppose you two kids haven't seen each other in a long time, and you want to be alone.
00:58:29Yes, no.
00:58:30I'll be right back.
00:58:32Oh.
00:58:32In about three hours.
00:58:34Oh.
00:58:35Come on, Danny.
00:58:36Sit down.
00:58:36I want you to tell me everything you've been doing.
00:58:39It's a long story.
00:58:42Oh, you've got the wrong bag.
00:58:43Well, what's the difference?
00:58:44Popcorn's popcorn.
00:58:45Well, there's a little more in this one.
00:58:47Oh, all right.
00:58:51Good.
00:58:52You know, the popcorn man told me you sometimes find a prize in these.
00:58:56Oh, really?
00:58:56Mm-hmm.
00:58:57Gee, it's been so lonesome without you.
00:59:02But, Danny, hey, look, I found one.
00:59:05You see?
00:59:06What did I tell you?
00:59:06It's just like an engagement ring.
00:59:08What do you mean, like?
00:59:09It is.
00:59:11You put it in there?
00:59:13Uh-huh.
00:59:14That means we're engaged?
00:59:16If you want to be.
00:59:17Oh, Danny.
00:59:26Well, how romantic.
00:59:30Ah, Romeo and Cleopatra.
00:59:31Don't be obnoxious.
00:59:33This is no time for compliments.
00:59:34Muggs, I want you to meet your future brother-in-law.
00:59:36Since when are you making the decisions around here?
00:59:38Danny and I are engaged.
00:59:39That's right.
00:59:40I don't know how long this has been going on, but you're disengaged right now.
00:59:43Yeah, and I'll have you both to know.
00:59:45What's the idea, Muggs?
00:59:46This is my house, ain't it?
00:59:48I'll ask the questions around here.
00:59:49Muggs, please.
00:59:50Watch out.
00:59:51You'll hurt my arm.
00:59:52Boys are downstairs.
00:59:53They'd like to see you.
00:59:55Besides, I'd like to have a little talk with you.
00:59:57If Ivy can spare you for a few minutes.
01:00:01Come on.
01:00:01Yeah, okay, Muggs.
01:00:03Fine.
01:00:11I'll be right back, Ivy.
01:00:18Hi, Ivy.
01:00:19Hi, Ivy.
01:00:20I'm out of here.
01:00:21Hey, boy, do you look rude in that suit?
01:00:26Yes, sir.
01:00:27We really thought you'd join a new gang.
01:00:28No wonder Gunnick said your gang had a couple of million guys.
01:00:31And they're all swell fellas, too.
01:00:32All right, break it up.
01:00:34Cut the gab.
01:00:36What's on your mind, Muggs?
01:00:38Oh, nothing much.
01:00:39I just want to stop these boys before they start kissing you.
01:00:42You know, I'm still head man around here,
01:00:44and I don't like to see the old gang bust up.
01:00:46So I'm going to give you a chance to get back in.
01:00:48He's in the Army.
01:00:49He don't like our gang.
01:00:50Well, heck, I don't.
01:00:50I still want to be a member.
01:00:52I'll give you a chance to prove that.
01:00:54How can I?
01:00:55Gunnick likes you a lot, doesn't he?
01:00:57Yeah, and he'd like you, too, if he gave him half a chance.
01:00:59I'm not interested in the old boys socially.
01:01:01I'm just interested in those new tires he's got.
01:01:04What?
01:01:05You kidding?
01:01:06No, I'm not kidding.
01:01:07And I need you to help me.
01:01:09You want me to help you rob Gendix?
01:01:10What for?
01:01:11But, oh, that's what for.
01:01:13But, Muggs, you know...
01:01:14Bother mind.
01:01:14You may belong to a new gang,
01:01:15but you're still taking orders from me.
01:01:19Okay, Muggs.
01:01:21Anything you say?
01:01:23Get a hold of Gendix and get him in a conversation.
01:01:26The main thing is to get him wait in the front of that store.
01:01:28Suppose you get caught.
01:01:30I got an alibi.
01:01:31And fight him, or we got an excuse.
01:01:32Just tell him he looks like he needs a glass of milk or something.
01:01:34Take him down to McGillicuddy's.
01:01:36Okay.
01:01:37Take it easy.
01:01:39Boys, there goes a chump.
01:01:43What are you whistling about?
01:01:47What brings you around here this time of night?
01:01:50Well, I was sort of strolling,
01:01:51and I have to get to bed early at camp, so...
01:01:54Oh, just the novelty of staying up, eh?
01:01:56Yeah, I guess that's it.
01:01:57Well, sit down, Danny,
01:01:59and tell me all about army life.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:03Hey, they're sitting down.
01:02:04He must be tired.
01:02:05What's that slug trying to do?
01:02:07I told him to get Gendix out of there.
01:02:08Looks like he's giving you the double cross.
01:02:10Well, if he knows what's good for him,
01:02:12he's going to take Gendix for that walk.
01:02:13Maybe he's trying to save his rubber heels.
01:02:17You're looking well, Danny.
01:02:18The army must be treating you all right.
01:02:20Oh, I've been feeling great.
01:02:22I've only been in a month,
01:02:22and I've put on 50 pounds.
01:02:2450 pounds?
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:26Two in weight and 48 in equipment.
01:02:31How do you like that?
01:02:32Danny turned a stool pigeon.
01:02:33So what?
01:02:34Gendix would have caught us anyway.
01:02:36There's only one thing to mix that deal up,
01:02:38and I'm going to fix that right now.
01:02:39Hey, we're going back to the pool room.
01:02:40I got a date with an eight ball.
01:02:42You ever hear the old maximum,
01:02:43business before pleasure?
01:02:44Well, this is old business.
01:02:46Danny?
01:02:47For once and for all.
01:02:50Is the back of the garage all locked up?
01:02:52Well, sure.
01:02:53It's always locked up at night.
01:02:54You know that.
01:02:55I should know it.
01:02:56I used to work for you.
01:03:02Well, I have to be running along now.
01:03:04Good night, Mr. Gendix.
01:03:05Good night, Danny.
01:03:06Drop in again before you go back to camp.
01:03:09I sure will.
01:03:13What's the matter?
01:03:14You got a hole in your memory?
01:03:15I talked to Gendix just like you told me to.
01:03:17Sure you talked to him.
01:03:18If you didn't follow my orders,
01:03:20you had an important job and you hedged on it.
01:03:22You weren't really going to rob Gendix.
01:03:24You just wanted to get me in trouble.
01:03:26Still the same old jellyfish, huh?
01:03:28You must be crazy to think I'd help you pull a job like that, especially in these.
01:03:33Look, I'm still head man around here, and when I say something, I want it done.
01:03:35I'm sorry, Muggs, but I'm through taking that kind of orders.
01:03:39I think I can still keep you in line. I've been doing it all my life.
01:03:44Here, Beanie.
01:03:47Is she kidding?
01:03:48No, I'm not kidding, Muggs.
01:03:50You've been asking for this for a long time, and now you're finally going to get it.
01:03:54Make yourself nice and comfortable so when you fall, you won't hurt yourself.
01:03:56Yeah, you better be comfortable.
01:03:58You're just kidding.
01:03:59Hey!
01:04:01Watch this, Muggs!
01:04:06How'd you like that, Muggs?
01:04:08I love it.
01:04:20Well, have you had enough?
01:04:23Yeah.
01:04:25Yeah, I guess that fills the bill.
01:04:30No hard feelings, huh, Muggs?
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:35I always said the guy that married my sister would have to lick me first, and you've done it.
01:04:39I'm sure glad it worked out this way, Muggs.
01:04:41Well, I'm not glad, but it's all right.
01:04:46Well, we cleaned that place out, and then what can we get some more?
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:49Well, I don't know.
01:04:50Oh, no.
01:04:51I don't know.
01:04:51Hey, well, look who's coming.
01:04:53Hi, boys.
01:04:55Boy, you look great.
01:04:56What are you boys doing?
01:04:57Oh, we're taking that scrap metal down to Gennick's garage for the salvage drive.
01:05:00Hey, didn't they get Gennick for the Army yet?
01:05:02Not yet, but I'm glad to see you boys and just close cooperation with the armed forces. Keep up the
