Geronimo1967
Talk about turning a drama into a crisis! McDoakes (George OHanlon) and his wife Alice (Phyllis Coates) are accused of running a temperamental stop-sign but instead of just paying the $2 fine, he elects for his day in court. That is just the start of the domino effect that sees his misdemeanour end up with him sharing a prison yard with some hardened criminals. Oh if only he had just kept his trap shut and avoided this cumulation of calamities! Its ok, this, even if OHanlon over-eggs the cake a bit but I wonder if it might have worked more entertainingly had it been a cartoon? The break neck pace of his bad to worse scenario colourfully and mischievously hand-drawn rather than drawn out? Just goes to show, though - the system always wins.
