Well, as you know, when our young hero Dennis Day met the girl of his dreams, Mildred Anderson, over a year ago, his immediate problem was to get on the good side of her mother. Unfortunately, he's made very little progress with that problem. In fact, he hasn't even found out yet whether she's got one to get on. So this morning, he decided to seek some advice from one who's unquestionably a qualified expert on the matter, the cuter half of the Anderson family. Mr. Anderson. Yes, my son. I've been wanting to have a talk with you for some time, sir. It's about Mrs. Anderson. My little lump of love. Yes, sir, but with me, she isn't that kind of lump at all. In fact, she hates me. Oh, now, Dennis, I'm sure you're mistaken. It's probably just that you do something now and then that annoys her. Yes, sir, I breathe. Well, don't you stop my boy, even for her. But I got to do something, Mr. Anderson. I can't go through life or we're scared to death of her. Well, why should you, my boy? Now, I've known Pupsy for years, and I sure you she wouldn't harm a fly. Maybe not, but boy, the way she treats human beings. Dennis, you mustn't feel that way about my wife. She has a heart exterior, yes, but way down deep inside her is a sweet, kindly, lovely so-called. Mr. Anderson, I have no time for dredging. I need help now. Yes, son, I see your problem. Mrs. Anderson didn't have much respect for me either. Right up to the day that I asked her to come my wife. But then, she looked at me in a different light. Yes, sir, but I don't think a step like that would be practical for me. Well, to tell the truth, I really didn't have it in mind for you. But now, what we need is some little, oh, say, hey, wait a minute, I think I have it. Are you sure I want it? Yes, I think you do. Remember a few weeks back, my wife's club put on a drive to help juvenile delinquency? Yes, sir. Well, they have a new project now. They want the city of Weaverville to build a new jail. Gee, they must have helped juvenile delinquency no end. Well, no, no. As far as I know, the two projects are unrelated, except that because of her work on the other one, they made Mrs. Anderson the chairman of this one. Oh, I see. And you think if I could help her in some way... Exactly. Now, if she can get the city to erect a new jail, despite the objections of the mayor and the chief of police, I have a hunch the club presidency is in her lap. So, you see... Good morning. Oh, good morning, Mrs. Anderson. Good morning, blossom face. Gee, Mrs. Anderson, I just heard all about your problem with the new jail, and you know what? I'm going to help you. Dennis, don't say things like that, even if you're joking. But, Mrs. Anderson, I want to help. Don't you want to hear my ideas? Why should I? I might have a good one. You can't listen to your common sense all the time. Dennis, I'm warning you. Stay out of this. We're taking a public opinion poll on a new jail, and that's all that should be necessary to convince the mayor and the chief of police. But I know the chief of police personally, and I could have a talk with them and present your side of the case. Certainly not. Let's at least keep our old jail. If you get mixed up in this in any way, young man... Good morning, everybody. Oh, good morning, Mildred. Good morning, Mildred. Nailed it. Just remember what I said, Dennis. Come along, Herbert. Get your Hoover. This is your thorough cleaning day. Yes. My goodness, Dennis, what's the matter? Oh, I just hopped off to help your mother with the new jail, and as usual, I made quite a bit of backway. Gee, they really should have a new jail. Prisoners escape from this old rat trap and droves. It'd be wonderful if you could do something to... Say, wait a minute. An idea, huh? Oh, a beauty. Look, I'm the secretary of the committee headed by Mrs. Phillips to take a public opinion poll on the new jail. Yeah. Well, suppose I list houses to call on where we're sure no one's home. This is a beauty? Well, sure. Because there will be someone there. You. Me. Of course. At each place, you open the door just wide enough for Mrs. Phillips to hear you but not see you. Then in a different voice each time, you vote yes on the poll. Wonderful. Wonderful. That's trespassing, illegal entry, housebreaking. Not if we don't get caught. We'll pick places that are unoccupied or up for sale. Come on, let's go. You know what, Mildred? If you pass your ideas around to everyone in town instead of just me, they'd have to build a new jail. This house was open for inspection so we have a perfect right to be here. Gee, never in my wildest dreams did I expect to become all the answers on a public opinion poll. I wish I... Oh my gosh, look, here's Mrs. Phillips coming up the walk. All right, now, don't get excited. Just remember which way to vote and disguise your voice. Be Italian or something. Gee, I don't know much about Italian, but I'll try. Conducting a public opinion poll. That's a fine. I'm a vote to wee-wee. That's a mean mashu. I'm in a favor of the new jail. Who knew that I was going to ask you that? Well, uh, that's the question on everyone's lips, you know? Yes. Well, you happen to pass a vibe just to win a... to mine. Good night, please. Dennis, you've just got to be more careful after this. Yeah. Come on, her next stop is 349 Elm. Okay. That's something on your mind, lady. Mr. Stripteaser, let's get it off. Does the city of Weaverville need a new jail? By sure, ma'am. As the clerk in the girdle department said of the fat lady, there ain't no getting around that. Very much. Oh, much better, Dennis. All right, let's go. Professor Nikolai Rudenski? Uh, da. I'd like to ask you a question, professor. Da? Yes. Will you answer it? Does Weaverville need a new jail? Da. Oh, thank you, sir. Goodbye. Da-da. I see I've got my opinions, but they're no for free. Now, if you'll give me a hipney for my thoughts. Ah, thank you, ma'am. I vote aye. Full dispense and domestic. Will Holder, do you think Weaverville should have a new jail? Oh, yes, sure. You betcha. Oh, sure. Me only say my flavor a new jail for Weaverville. You betcha. Well, thank you very much. May I have your name, please? Ah, me only say I'm hip long on passing dang ding dong bong from Hong Kong. Could you repeat that? Oh, no. Very solid. Just made it first time. So now on the top of the morning to your collie and darling, and what is it I can be after doing for you this fine morning to store a cushion of McCree? That's what your sign says outside the door. Dr. Goldberg. Oh. Tell me, Dr. Goldberg, do you think the city of Weaverville needs a new jail? You're asking me, and I'm telling you. Far down? Far so good, Dennis. And this is the last place. Yeah, but I'm running out of voices. I can't think of anybody else to be. Dennis, just use your imagination. You've got to think of one. Oh, my gosh. Here she comes. I'll run out and try to stall her while you think of something. OK. Yes, I knew you'd be passing by here, so I thought I'd meet you. How's the pole going? Oh, my dear, it's a landslide for us. But you know, the strangest thing, I never see anyone. No, they just open the door and crack and put their foot in it. Oh, really? Yes. And honest of all, they're all wearing the same clothes. Light brown slacks and sneakers. Even hold a Swenson domestic. Oh, well, you don't say. I do believe it's a trend, my dear. I must wire Adrian immediately. Who do I find in this last house? They've all been so unusual today. I beg your pardon, but could you open the door just a bit wider? No, I can't, because I'm only two-and-a-half years older there, too, sir. I've seen the fact that you're wearing light brown slacks and sneakers. Uh, second childhood? So, perhaps I'd better push open the door and find out for myself. No, wait, wait. Denis Day. So, it was you all the time. Well, Mrs. Phillips, I... You've ruined my pole. That's what you've done. My report is worthless. I'll have to tear it up. Well, Mrs. Phillips, I... Think of you being in every single one of those houses. How could you do a thing like that? We use Mr. Anderson's car. The idea did blow up in our faces. You're not going to quit, are you? Yep. Denis Day, are you the kind of a man who takes a beating lying down? Nope. I get up and run. Well, you're not giving up. I have another idea. Oh, no, Mildred. Yes. This Mayor Brown who's fighting the new jail is a very impressionable man. Now, if an important senator from Washington in a big hat and a handlebar moustache told the mayor we needed a new jail, he... Mildred, no, not a senator. I won't do it. I won't. Denis? No, this I positively and definitely will not do, and that's final. Denis Day? Very well, pupsie. I'm a big senator from Washington. DC, that is. Senator, why this is a pleasure. Sit down, sir. Thank you, old master. We hear reports in Washington that you'd make a mighty good congressman. A congressman? Oh, senator, not really. Yep. Now, how do you stand on price control, Mayor? Labor, foreign relations, housing, the tariff? Well, gosh, I don't believe I ever gave any of them a thought. By George, you might even make the Senate. Gosh, senator. Honest? You bet, son. Only there's something standing in the way of your career. We hear... I say we hear you got a bad jail on this side. A bad jail? Mighty bad, son. We hear it so bad that you've got to lock people in it. But they're prisoners, senator. They vote, don't they? Well, yes. I love every one of them. But what can I do, senator? Building new jail, son, and fast. I've got big plans for you, but you've got to cooperate. Now, the first thing that we do... Oh, here's our chief of police. Chief, I want you to meet someone. Oh, hello, Denis. Hello, chief. Hello, as I was saying... Look at all this man, chief, and he's not a senator. A senator? Denis Day? That kills me. I don't think it's going to do me much good, either. I'm impersonating a senator, eh? Dave, do you know I could have you jailed for this? But I did it for a good cause, Your Honor. That jail you've got is an old rat trap. Why, anybody could break out of it. Anybody, huh? Why, sure they... Chief, why are you looking at me like that? You said anybody could get out, didn't you? Are you... are you... Is somebody going to get a chance? We're going to hold you on a technical charge. You've been impersonating a senator-wise guy. And if you can get out of our jail, we'll agree to build a new one. Me? You're going to put me in jail? Why, you'll be out in an hour. You said yourself was an old rat trap. Yeah, but suppose I was wrong. You'd leave a boy of my type in jail with those hardened criminals? That's their tough luck. They should have thought of that before they committed their crime. How are you coming with that hole? Okay. I ought to hit daylight any minute now. Not a boy. Keep digging. We got to get out of this... Wait a minute. Huh? Quick. Cover up the hole. Here comes the chief of the guy. Okay. Okay, kid. Right in here with these two boys. Well... I'll see you, chum. Hello, bunkies. What's the moniker, kid? The what? The name. I'm Harry the hook. Yeah, I'm Frankie the fake. Oh. I'm Dennis the day. What kind of a name is that? What kind of a name is that for a crook? Well, you see, I'm not really a full-fledged criminal. I'm just sort of an elderly juvenile delinquent. Oh, yeah? Yeah. They just put me in here to see if I could find a way to get out. Say, you boys don't happen to know anyway, do you? Oh, so that's it. You're a stooly, huh? Huh? All right. Talk, kid. How much do you know? Big pardon? Oh, don't give me that. Spill it. How much do you know? Well, I went through junior high. That's not what I mean. Do you see this fist, buddy? Yes, sir. It's very nicely formed. How'd you like it in your face? I... I wouldn't. Then talk. Go on. Say something. Yes, sir. Under the spreading chestnut tree... Shut up! Yes, sir. Let me out, I'm Frankie. There's nothing I like better than taking care of a stooly. Lay off, Harry. The guy's no stooly. I'm Tully ears. Let me out, I'm... You're crazy, Harry. It's too dumb to be a stooly. Oh, yeah? Listen to your friend, Harry. A wise guy, huh? I'll show you how we handle stooly's around here. Harry, watch it! You push it right into the... Hey! Look, a big hole in the floor. Imagine that. Yeah, imagine. Say, we better tell the chief, huh? A proller could sneak in here that way. Did you hear that, Frankie? He wants to tell the chief. And you said he wasn't a stooly, you dumb-ox. Yeah, well, who pushed him into the hole in the first place, you lunkhead? Who are you calling a lunkhead? Who are you calling a dumb-ox? You. Oh, yeah? So you want a plane, huh? Yeah. Gentlemen. Fellas. Monkeys. Please. Hey, you'll have to hurt someone or you'll not be yourself. Harry, wait a minute! Oh, is that one? Frankie, don't hit him with that phone! I guess I just bring out the beast and people. Hey, what's going on here? Holy smoke. Frankie and the hook, both out cold. It's my fault, chief. You see, I am. Your fault? Why, you little tiger. Huh? Who are you? What's this? A hole in the floor. Yes, sir. That's what started it, you see. Oh, yes. Are you all right? Mildred and Mrs. Anderson, what are you doing here? The marathonist. We came down to get you all. What is this? What's going on here? This kid just cooled off both these thugs. What? Dennis? How did it happen? Well, the way I figured it, the kid dug that tunnel to make the break, he said he was going to make. And those two thugs demanded to be taken along. They got tough about it, so day here, well, let's have the rest of it from you, day. Oh, no, go right ahead. You're doing fine. Good heavens, look at the size of the hole he dug. And in less than five minutes. How did you do it, day, with no cool tools of any kind? Oh, it wasn't very hard rock, I just used my teeth. Good gosh. Well, this boy has taught me a lesson. The town does need a new jail and I'm going to see that it gets one. Dennis, sugar baby, you doll you. Me, I lead the most unpredictable life. Proud of you, I could just kiss you. I'm going to kiss him. I think he's just the most lo- Dennis Day, come up out of that hole. Yes, ma'am. Dennis Day will be back in just a moment with the song. But first, here's a fact worth knowing.
