Released May 07, 1953
Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
Columbia
15.9 min. (Short Subject)

The Chief of Detectives gives Moe, Larry and Shemp 24 hours to solve the murder of Slug McGurk. They question a witness, an Italian organ grinder with a British accent, but he runs away when they mention a murder. A frustrated actor named Gilbraith Q. Tiddlewadder (better known as Chopper) tries to confess as a publicity stunt, but the real killer shows up, outraged at not getting credit, and starts shooting up the police station.

The filing cabinet sequence is footage lifted from HOLD THAT LION! (1947).

Although not mentioned onscreen, Murray Alper's character is named 'Mr. Pardon' in the script.
