00:00:00There!
00:00:01Uh-oh! There goes another good man!
00:00:04Well, C.P., I think we've got another hit with that new tune of yours.
00:00:07You like it?
00:00:08How about singing a chorus for us?
00:00:09Why, I'd be glad to!
00:00:14Now won't you swing it lightly, girls? Won't you swing it lightly?
00:00:18Come on with me and drive with me. Won't you swing it lightly?
00:00:22Now when the band has stopped to play, and everybody's on to sway,
00:00:26come on and swing it lightly.
00:00:28Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:00:30When the cat is jumping and the crowd all gives us round,
00:00:34some cat will holler out, I'm just chugging round.
00:00:38Now all you cats swing lightly.
00:00:40Come on, you cats, and get to sleep.
00:00:42Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:00:44Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:00:53C.P.?
00:00:54Yes, Miss Carr?
00:00:55There's something I want you to do for me.
00:00:57I'd be glad to.
00:00:59Would you autograph this, please?
00:01:01Why, sure.
00:01:04Isn't he wonderful?
00:01:06What?
00:01:07Oh, but Dad, he's different.
00:01:09He's all he is.
00:01:26Blondie!
00:01:32Pretty face, funny hat,
00:01:34that's what my Blondie is.
00:01:36Lovable feet, both flat,
00:01:38that's what my Dagwood is.
00:01:40Blondie's not always right,
00:01:42I let her think she is.
00:01:44All of my thoughts are right,
00:01:46long as he thinks they're his.
00:01:48Life with us is fun and crazy,
00:01:51baby duckling, baby duckling,
00:01:54us and Daisy, part of family.
00:01:57Incredible, bum-steadable,
00:01:59hurry, you'll miss your bus.
00:02:01Watch out, you'll burn your stew.
00:02:03Nothing's too much for us,
00:02:05as long as with me there's you.
00:02:07Dagwood and Blondie,
00:02:09Blondie and Dagwood,
00:02:10always with me there's you.
00:02:15Get after that wood.
00:02:18Get in that carrier.
00:02:24She's been running me red.
00:02:38Dagwood, breakfast.
00:02:40Hurry or you'll be late.
00:02:42All right, Blondie.
00:02:48Yes?
00:02:49Do you own a little mutt with long ears?
00:02:51If you're referring to Daisy,
00:02:53she isn't a mutt,
00:02:54she happens to be a thoroughbred mongrel.
00:02:56All I got to say is,
00:02:58there's a law that says
00:02:59that no dog can run loose on the street,
00:03:01and if I catch your mutt,
00:03:03I mean your thoroughbred mongrel,
00:03:06running loose without a leash,
00:03:07and without someone hanging on to that leash,
00:03:09you'll pay a $500 fine.
00:03:11We only paid $3 for Daisy.
00:03:17Dagwood, you've got to talk to Daisy.
00:03:20I told her not to leave the yard this morning
00:03:22and she disobeyed me.
00:03:23Yesterday she hid Cookie's doll,
00:03:25and the day before that
00:03:26she tore up the Brady's newspaper.
00:03:28Oh, every spring it's the same old story.
00:03:31She starts acting like a puppy
00:03:32and we lead a dog's life.
00:03:34Yeah, well, where is she now, huh?
00:03:35Well, I don't know.
00:03:37But if she isn't here by the time I count three,
00:03:40she gets no ice cream on Sunday.
00:03:43One,
00:03:45two...
00:03:50I knew that would work.
00:03:51You talk to her, Dagwood,
00:03:52and I'll fix your breakfast.
00:03:53Oh, Blondie, I'm too tired
00:03:55for a father-daughter talk this morning.
00:03:57I stayed up half the night working on our budget.
00:04:00We got a lot of bills, Blondie.
00:04:02Cookie's tonsils, $115.
00:04:05Alexander's teeth, $75.
00:04:07Blondie's coat, $85.
00:04:09Dagwood's tie, 85 cents.
00:04:12Drink your orange juice, dear.
00:04:14Yeah.
00:04:15Oh, how are we ever going to pay everybody, Blondie?
00:04:18I'll loan you 10 cents, Daddy.
00:04:20Oh, now, isn't that sweet, Dagwood?
00:04:23You don't have to, darling.
00:04:25Daddy will take care of everything.
00:04:27That's what daddies are for,
00:04:29to work hard and take care of their families.
00:04:31Yeah.
00:04:32Daddies are supposed to worry.
00:04:34Uh-huh.
00:04:35And if daddies don't want to worry,
00:04:37they're supposed to ask for a raise at the office.
00:04:39Yeah, well, I guess I could ask Mr. Ditters for a raise,
00:04:42I guess, maybe.
00:04:43Gosh, Daddy, I hope I'm as brave as you are when I grow up.
00:04:47Thank you, Alexander.
00:04:49Good morning.
00:04:50Hope you don't mind my barging in without knocking.
00:04:53Oh, that's all right, Tommy.
00:04:55Dagwood, this is our new neighbor, Tommy Cooper.
00:04:58This is Mr. Bumstead.
00:04:59Hi, Tommy.
00:05:00How do you do, Mr. Bumstead?
00:05:01Tommy's quite a student.
00:05:03I think you'll be a good influence on Alexander.
00:05:05Oh, yeah.
00:05:06Mr. Bumstead, I'm reading some anatomy books,
00:05:09but I must say that the shape of your head is most unusual.
00:05:12Oh, it is?
00:05:13Well.
00:05:14Did you know?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16You see, I never had to...
00:05:18Now, see here.
00:05:20I...
00:05:21Hey, I'm late.
00:05:22Children, your father's leaving.
00:05:23Alexander, open the door.
00:05:25Hurry up.
00:05:26Come on.
00:05:27Children, your father's leaving.
00:05:28Alexander, open the door.
00:05:30Hurry up.
00:05:31Come on.
00:05:58New doll carriage.
00:06:01$10.
00:06:08Yes, Mary?
00:06:09Mr. Dittus, I've got that long-distance call
00:06:11through to Mr. Rutledge.
00:06:12Good.
00:06:13Put him on.
00:06:14Hello, Mr. Rutledge?
00:06:16Oh, I just wanted to find out when you'll be in town.
00:06:19About two weeks?
00:06:20Oh, that's fine.
00:06:21Our plans will be all ready for you by then.
00:06:23I've had one of my men, Dagwood Bumstead,
00:06:25working on them day and night.
00:06:26In fact, I expect him in at any moment
00:06:28with the first complete draft.
00:06:30I'll be looking for you.
00:06:31Goodbye.
00:06:34Let's see now.
00:06:35This week, I'll pay for one tonsil,
00:06:38two of Alexander's cavities, two...
00:06:42Hello, Wally.
00:06:43Having money trouble again, eh?
00:06:45Yeah.
00:06:46Oh.
00:06:47Dag, how'd you like to borrow $300?
00:06:50How'd I?
00:06:51Hey, guys, I certainly would.
00:06:53So would I.
00:06:54You know anybody who's got it?
00:06:56Say, Ollie, do you think you know who is in?
00:07:00I guess so.
00:07:01Say, you're not going to ask for a you-know-what?
00:07:04Yeah, I'll probably get a you-know-when.
00:07:06Look, Dag, if you're going to tackle dithers for a race,
00:07:11do it differently.
00:07:12Use psychology.
00:07:13Don't start writing asking for Bordeaux.
00:07:16Oh, shh.
00:07:17Sort of gradually work up to it.
00:07:19Talk about the weather.
00:07:21Crack a joke.
00:07:22Crack a joke?
00:07:23Flatter the old goat.
00:07:24Then crack down and let him have it.
00:07:27Do you think it would work?
00:07:29All he can do is say no.
00:07:31But he has so many different ways of saying it.
00:07:35Yes, Mary?
00:07:37Mrs. Bumstead would like to talk to you.
00:07:39Oh, she would?
00:07:40Put her on.
00:07:42Good morning, Blondie.
00:07:43What can I do for you?
00:07:47Dagwood left the Rutledge plans at home?
00:07:50Dagwood left the Rutledge plans at home?
00:07:52Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:07:55What's that?
00:07:56No, no, don't bring them down, Blondie.
00:07:58I'll take care of it.
00:08:00Goodbye.
00:08:01Now, are you sure it'll work?
00:08:03Sure, if you use my approach.
00:08:05Remember, weather, joke, flattery, praise.
00:08:09Yeah.
00:08:10Good morning, Mr. Dittus.
00:08:21Weather.
00:08:22Oh, isn't this wonderful weather?
00:08:25Makes you feel like working.
00:08:27Does it?
00:08:28Oh, yes.
00:08:30A joke.
00:08:31Something amuses you, Dagwood?
00:08:36Yes, I heard the funniest story on the bus.
00:08:38Gee, it slayed me.
00:08:39I heard something on the telephone that slayed me, too.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42Well, after I get through telling my story, you can tell me yours.
00:08:45I intend to.
00:08:46Oh, fine.
00:08:47Now, this is my story, Mr. Dittus.
00:08:50It seems there was a clerk at a bank...
00:08:53You can stop right there.
00:08:54And the clerk...
00:08:56I don't want to hear your story.
00:08:58You don't?
00:08:59Oh.
00:09:00Well...
00:09:01Oh, flattery.
00:09:06You know, J.C., in all the years that I've been working for you,
00:09:09I've never seen you looking so...
00:09:13Huh?
00:09:14How am I looking, Dagwood?
00:09:17I can't think of the word.
00:09:19Maybe I ought to go to my office.
00:09:21Dagwood!
00:09:23Look here, you nitwit.
00:09:25I know you were heading for a raise,
00:09:27but when you do stupid things like leaving those Rutledge plans at home, I could...
00:09:30Oh, I did forget them, didn't I?
00:09:32I thought you made the necessary changes in those garage specifications.
00:09:35Huh?
00:09:36Well, did you?
00:09:39You didn't.
00:09:40Oh, I'll torture you to one get.
00:09:44Look, you see, Mr. Dittus, I was working on my budget last night,
00:09:47and I need $300 awful bad.
00:09:49$300?
00:09:50How can you speak of small change like that
00:09:53when you know I'm trying to borrow $100,000 from Simon Rutledge?
00:09:56Whether I get it or not depends on those post-war housing plans you left at home.
00:10:02Dagwood, I could shoot you.
00:10:09Oh, Mr. Dittus, I didn't think you'd do it to me.
00:10:13Take care of Blondie and the children and Daisy and the five little puppies.
00:10:18Get up, you idiot. I didn't shoot you.
00:10:20Throw it in your matic drills. They're fixing the street.
00:10:22They are?
00:10:23Oh, my.
00:10:25Oh, Mr. Dittus, I'm just a bundle of nerves.
00:10:29I didn't get enough sleep last night.
00:10:31If this drilling keeps up, you won't get any work done today.
00:10:34Well, since you left the plans at home, you better do your work there.
00:10:37Work at home? Oh, that'll be nice.
00:10:40It'll be nice and quiet.
00:10:43What's that?
00:10:44I said it'll be quiet.
00:10:46Quiet!
00:10:48Quiet!
00:10:49Oh, excuse me. I didn't mean to yell.
00:10:57Quiet. Everything's quiet.
00:11:02Quiet.
00:11:10What are they doing here?
00:11:12Well, you never know what's going to happen in a neighborhood fracas.
00:11:15Oh, Tommy, you didn't call the police.
00:11:17Well, I just became aware of it.
00:11:18What's going on here?
00:11:19Oh, nothing at all, officer.
00:11:21Mrs. Brady and I were just having a little argument.
00:11:23That ain't the way we heard it.
00:11:25Somebody called headquarters and said two women had opened up a second front on Shady Lane Avenue.
00:11:30I'm sure Mrs. Brady and I can settle our little discussion without the aid of the law.
00:11:35Oh, I don't know about that.
00:11:37Maybe the law's what we need around here.
00:11:43Blondie!
00:11:45Oh, Blondie.
00:11:46Dagwood!
00:11:47Oh, it's my fault.
00:11:49They're not to blame. I'm responsible for everything that's happened.
00:11:52What has happened?
00:11:54Dagwood, what are you doing home? You haven't been fired.
00:11:57Oh, no, you see, Mr. D...
00:11:58Oh, never mind that. What has happened?
00:12:00I'll tell you what's happened.
00:12:02Your dog, Daisy, chased my cat, Henry, up a tree.
00:12:05And Henry's so sensitive, he might not come down for days.
00:12:09You shouldn't have told me that, lady.
00:12:11I won't sleep a wink tonight.
00:12:13Let's go, Bill.
00:12:14Well, aren't you going to do something about that dog running around loose?
00:12:17That's my department, lady.
00:12:19Well, where is she?
00:12:20Who, Daisy?
00:12:21Oh, she's in the house.
00:12:23I hope.
00:12:24I think I'll have a look around.
00:12:40And let me tell you what that dog did last week when I just hung my laundry on the line.
00:12:45Oh, how do you do? I'm a reporter.
00:12:47I heard the police siren and followed the car over.
00:12:49What's going on?
00:12:50Oh, Daisy Bumstead chased Henry Brady up a tree.
00:12:53Yeah? What did the Bumstead dame do?
00:12:55Catch Brady with another gal?
00:12:56Oh, no, no.
00:12:57Daisy's a dog and Henry's a cat.
00:12:59Oh, fine.
00:13:00I can see the headlines now.
00:13:02Dog chases cat.
00:13:04Enter the fires reporter.
00:13:05Oh, great scoop.
00:13:06Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:07Wait a minute.
00:13:08Maybe I can give you a story about Daisy.
00:13:10Let me read this letter for my son.
00:13:12It's this one.
00:13:14Bob's in the Navy waiting to come home.
00:13:17Well, I sent him some pictures of a few pinup girls and a snapshot of Daisy.
00:13:22And that's what he wrote back to me.
00:13:24Dear Mom, thanks for the pictures of the pretty girls,
00:13:27but I like the snapshot of Daisy best.
00:13:29So did my pals.
00:13:31In fact, we liked it so much that we voted Daisy as the dog we'd like to come home to.
00:13:35Well, tell her from me she's the Navy's pinup pooch.
00:13:39Pinup pooch.
00:13:41Not bad, not bad at all.
00:13:43You know, I think I can do something with that.
00:13:45I thought you could.
00:13:55Frankly, I think Daisy should be tied up.
00:13:57And furthermore, I...
00:13:58Folks, crime is marching on and we're standing here.
00:14:02Now you keep an eye on Henry.
00:14:05And you tell your Daisy to stop chasing the boys.
00:14:10Come on, Bill.
00:14:12Blondie!
00:14:14Blondie!
00:14:16Blondie!
00:14:18Blondie!
00:14:20Blondie!
00:14:22Blondie!
00:14:24Blondie, this man wants to see Daisy.
00:14:26Oh, what has she done now?
00:14:28Nothing, Blondie. He's from the city news.
00:14:30He wants to interview you about Daisy.
00:14:32She's going to be printed up in the newspaper.
00:14:34Daisy in the newspaper? Why?
00:14:36She's been voted the Navy's pinup dog.
00:14:39Pinup dog. Oh, no.
00:14:41Oh, Dag, did you hear that?
00:14:43Our Daisy's going to be a celebrity.
00:14:46Oh, getty, getty.
00:14:48Oh.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:54Oh.
00:15:20Mrs. Buxton! Alexander!
00:15:22Mrs. Buxton! Alexander!
00:15:24Mrs. Buxton!
00:15:26Alexander! Mrs. Buxton!
00:15:28Mrs. Buxton! Alexander!
00:15:30Oh, Tommy, what's happened?
00:15:32Oh, look, Mrs. Buxton. Daisy!
00:15:34Oh, Daisy, I'm here.
00:15:36I just bought her a new stand.
00:15:38Gee, now Daisy's a cover dog.
00:15:40Oh, excuse me.
00:15:42Blondie, did you see this?
00:15:44Oh, Miss Gilbert, isn't it wonderful?
00:15:46You're going to knock me over with a feather.
00:15:48Yes, Blondie.
00:15:50Oh, here he comes.
00:15:55Oh, Daisy.
00:15:57Oh, Daisy.
00:16:00Hey, you know what's happened to you.
00:16:02Say, I just called my father about this.
00:16:12We work on the plans all day
00:16:14and finish up by the end of the week.
00:16:16Now tell Mary not to interrupt us.
00:16:18Mr. Dittus, Alexander wants to talk to his father.
00:16:21Mary, we are not to be interrupted.
00:16:24But he says it's important.
00:16:28All right. Take it and make it brief.
00:16:33Hello? Hello, Alexander?
00:16:36Is there anything wrong?
00:16:38I can't hear you. All I can hear is mumbling.
00:16:41It's Daisy! She's next!
00:16:45Wait a minute. What'd you say?
00:16:47All I said is Daisy! She's with him!
00:16:50She's spread out all over!
00:16:54Huh? Oh, no.
00:16:57Oh, no.
00:16:59Dagwood, what is it?
00:17:01Daisy. She's been hit.
00:17:03She's spread out all over.
00:17:05Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:17:07I think I'm going to faint.
00:17:08Oh, you mustn't do that, Dagwood.
00:17:09You've got to hold on yourself.
00:17:11You know you can count on me to be your pillar of strength,
00:17:13someone to lean on.
00:17:16She was such a cute little dog, Mr. Ditters.
00:17:19Every morning she'd lick the paper and run for my face.
00:17:22I mean, she'd lick for the run and paper my face.
00:17:25Oh, what am I saying?
00:17:30But at least she left her five children to take her place.
00:17:33Oh, they'll never do it. There's only one Daisy.
00:17:37Oh, no. I can't go on, Mr. Ditters. I can't face it.
00:17:41Oh, but you've got to, Dagwood, for Blondie's sake.
00:17:43Blondie? Oh, I forgot about her.
00:17:45She must be pretty bad.
00:17:47And the children, too.
00:17:49All right. We'll go, Mr. Ditters.
00:17:51I'm all right now.
00:17:53I don't have to have your support.
00:18:05Come on.
00:18:06Sorry.
00:18:11Huh?
00:18:12Oh, I didn't know Daisy had so many friends.
00:18:15Please, please, let the dog's father through.
00:18:18Oh, Tommy, where's everybody, huh?
00:18:21In the living room. It's a good thing you came when you did.
00:18:24Your wife's worn out with the excitement and Daisy's half-dead.
00:18:27Half-dead? You mean she isn't all dead yet?
00:18:30What?
00:18:31Maybe I could say a last goodbye to her, huh?
00:18:33You're bearing up well, Dagwood. Fine.
00:18:39Huh?
00:18:43There you are, Mrs. Kelly.
00:18:56Pinned up pooch.
00:18:58So she was hit and got spread out all over.
00:19:01Oh, she's alive.
00:19:06There you are, Mr. Carter.
00:19:07Now, Daisy and I can't give any more autographs.
00:19:09We're really awfully tired.
00:19:11No more autographs.
00:19:12Dagwood, are you home?
00:19:13Oh, isn't it exciting about Daisy?
00:19:15Yes, indeed.
00:19:16As soon as we heard about it, we'll have some very important work.
00:19:19Oh.
00:19:25Pardon me. Pardon me.
00:19:27Didn't you hear what the lady said?
00:19:29No more autographs.
00:19:30I don't want an autograph.
00:19:31I want to see the owner of Daisy.
00:19:33My name is Theodore Glaspie,
00:19:35and I represent an advertising company which represents Daisy Soap.
00:19:38Use Daisy Soap and smell as fresh as a daisy.
00:19:42I created that slogan.
00:19:44Interesting.
00:19:45Go along, Dagwood.
00:19:46I haven't finished saying everything I have to say to you.
00:19:48Oh, yes, Mr. Dennis.
00:19:49Oh, wait, dear.
00:19:50Don't you want to hear what the gentleman has to say?
00:19:52After all, you own Daisy, too.
00:19:54Oh, he does, does he?
00:19:55Well, we're going to put your dog to work.
00:19:58We feel that with all this national publicity,
00:20:00that there's a great tie-up between her and Daisy Soap.
00:20:03Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:20:04Let's go, Dagwood.
00:20:05This is a penny-ante deal.
00:20:06Oh, it is, eh?
00:20:08Well, it just so happens that my company is willing to pay Daisy $100
00:20:12every time she poses for Daisy Soap.
00:20:14And we believe we can use her indefinitely.
00:20:17$100?
00:20:18Gee, Mr. Dennis, that's more than you pay me.
00:20:24Exactly what would Daisy have to do?
00:20:26Well, we haven't planned the whole set-up,
00:20:28but she'll pose for pictures, possibly with movie stars.
00:20:31Movie stars?
00:20:33Oh, Daisy, how would you like that?
00:20:40She isn't impressed, Mr. Glastie.
00:20:42Oh, but think what you could do with all that extra money.
00:20:45Buy victory bonds and maybe the few luxuries
00:20:47that your husband's salary won't allow you to buy.
00:20:50I'll see her.
00:20:51And I am sure there are bills that are crying to be paid.
00:20:55You must have been reading my mail.
00:20:58Then you can use that extra money.
00:21:00Here.
00:21:01No, here.
00:21:02Now, just to show our goodwill, here's $100 in advance.
00:21:09Now she's impressed.
00:21:13It's a deal, Mr. Glastie.
00:21:15I'll...
00:21:21So you want a shake on the deal too, eh, Daisy?
00:21:24We always said Daisy ran the house,
00:21:26but we never thought she'd be paying the bills.
00:21:28No, we never did.
00:21:29Gee, Daddy, now you won't have to worry so much.
00:21:31Daisy can be the head of the family.
00:21:33That's right, Alexander.
00:21:34Now Daisy can be the head of the family.
00:21:46Surprise, Dagwood.
00:21:48Hello, Dagwood.
00:21:51Ronnie, Jane, it's good to see you.
00:21:54Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:21:55You didn't go and buy anything, did you?
00:21:56Yes, I did.
00:21:57The sweetest little outfit.
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:01$48.50.
00:22:03You know, I told you we had to go easy this month.
00:22:05Now, don't get upset, dear.
00:22:07We can afford to get a few nice things now.
00:22:09I should think so.
00:22:10Now that Daisy's doing so well.
00:22:12Daisy's got good taste, hasn't she, Dagwood?
00:22:14Yes, she has.
00:22:15Oh, now, don't look so down in the mouth, Dagwood.
00:22:19I have something for you, too.
00:22:21Oh, your hat?
00:22:22Mm-hmm.
00:22:23Oh.
00:22:26Oh, watch.
00:22:28Look at that.
00:22:29Just the kind I've always wanted.
00:22:30Look at it.
00:22:31So Daisy played Santa Claus to you, too, huh, Dagwood?
00:22:34My, but she's generous.
00:22:36And, Dagwood, I bought some beautiful little sweaters for the children.
00:22:39The kind we've never been able to afford.
00:22:41Yeah, I can understand that.
00:22:44Can you take me to lunch, dear?
00:22:45First, we'll stop in the bank, and I'll deposit another one of Daisy's checks.
00:22:48Another one?
00:22:49Yes, dear.
00:22:50Oh, we're building up a sizable bank account.
00:22:52Isn't that nice?
00:22:53If Daisy keeps on working, she'll be wearing the pants in the family,
00:22:56and you'll be wearing the leash.
00:22:58Oh, Ollie.
00:23:06Good morning, Alexander.
00:23:07Good morning.
00:23:09Daddy, I've got something I want to discuss with you.
00:23:13Yes?
00:23:14It's about the business of Daisy.
00:23:16Oh, uh, what about her?
00:23:18Well, does she give me my 50 cents allowance for the week, or do you?
00:23:22Well, no, as a matter of fact...
00:23:24Huh?
00:23:25Well, Tommy said that now that she's earning more money than you are,
00:23:28she's supporting the family.
00:23:29Yeah, well, you just tell that Tommy Cooper that no matter what Daisy earns,
00:23:32I'm still supporting the family.
00:23:35I must admit, Sonny, that, uh,
00:23:38after all, Daisy's earnings have come in handy,
00:23:40but as long as I sit at the head of the table, I'm the boss.
00:23:51Good morning, dear.
00:23:52Sit down and eat your breakfast.
00:23:54Yeah, but Daisy's in my chair.
00:23:56What difference does that make?
00:23:57She had the sniffles this morning, and I didn't want her to sit on the cold floor.
00:24:01Well, but Blondie, that...
00:24:10Huh?
00:24:12Well, Daisy, don't you hear the paper boy whistling?
00:24:14Go on, get the paper.
00:24:16She doesn't do that anymore, dear.
00:24:18That's Elmer's job now.
00:24:20Oh, Elmer!
00:24:25Elmer, the news boy whistled.
00:24:31Oh, um, may I serve you some cream, Daisy?
00:24:34After all, uh, you paid for it.
00:24:36Dagwood, I don't like your attitude.
00:24:38In fact, I haven't liked your attitude all week.
00:24:41You've treated Daisy like a dog.
00:24:43I think you need a lecture.
00:24:57And just think, Dagwood,
00:24:59Daisy has paid all our bills just by posing a few times.
00:25:02You should be grateful.
00:25:04I am, Blondie, but I want to pay them myself.
00:25:07I'm the breadwinner.
00:25:09Oh, Blondie, you know how a man feels about supporting his family.
00:25:13Yes, I know, dear.
00:25:15And someday you won't need Daisy's help at all.
00:25:22Oh, thank you, Elmer.
00:25:24That's a good boy.
00:25:28Hello there.
00:25:29Good morning, Tommy.
00:25:30Waiting for Alexander?
00:25:31Yes and no.
00:25:33I was waiting for you to come along.
00:25:35I just found out about your amazing encounters with Mr. Bumstead,
00:25:38and I've decided I'd like to witness the phenomenon.
00:25:41The phenomenon?
00:25:43Oh, you mean about him knocking me down every morning?
00:25:46Well, I am happy to say that those days are probably gone forever.
00:25:49He hasn't knocked me down in a week.
00:25:51He doesn't leave the house in a rush the way he used to.
00:25:55I don't understand what happened.
00:25:57Yes, indeed, we ought to be very happy, Daisy's doing so well.
00:26:00It isn't every dog who has a social security number and pays an income tax.
00:26:05Mommy, do you have to go with Daisy every time she meddles?
00:26:08Yes, dear.
00:26:09Daisy won't pose unless Mother's with her.
00:26:11But you'll be all right with Mrs. Adams.
00:26:13She ought to be here in a minute, too.
00:26:15Oh, I'm late.
00:26:17Alexander, look, your mother's leaving.
00:26:20Get the door open.
00:26:35I knew there was a catch to it.
00:26:37He's been training her to get me.
00:26:45Goodbye.
00:26:46Bye.
00:26:47Bye.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:50Oh, my.
00:26:51Oh, look, Daddy.
00:26:52Huh?
00:26:53Oh, look, Daddy.
00:26:54Huh?
00:26:55Oh, look, Daddy.
00:26:56Huh?
00:26:57Oh, look, Daddy.
00:26:58Huh?
00:26:59Oh, look, Daddy.
00:27:00Oh, look, Daddy.
00:27:01Oh, look, Daddy.
00:27:02Oh, look, Daddy.
00:27:03Huh?
00:27:04Daisy Bumstead.
00:27:05Daisy Bumstead.
00:27:06Daisy Bum...
00:27:07Imagine anybody writing fan mail to a dog.
00:27:10Well, if you'd like to know my opinion...
00:27:12I wouldn't.
00:27:13Very well, then.
00:27:14Come on, Alexander.
00:27:15We'll be late for school.
00:27:16Right.
00:27:17Oh, well, you come on in the house, cookie.
00:27:19Mrs. Adams will be over here pretty soon, and Daddy's got to get to work.
00:27:25I wonder if there's greyhound blood in that family.
00:27:28Oh, boy.
00:27:32Where is that Mrs. Adams?
00:27:33I'm going to be late if she...
00:27:39Hello?
00:27:40Oh, hello, Mrs. Adams.
00:27:41We're waiting for you.
00:27:43You can't come over?
00:27:45Oh, but what'll I do with cookie?
00:27:47Oh, take her to the office?
00:27:50Oh, I can't do that, Mrs. Adams.
00:27:54Oh, no.
00:27:55I'd be awful mad if I showed up with cookie.
00:28:00Yes?
00:28:01Mr. Bumstead, I presume?
00:28:05Yes.
00:28:06That's me.
00:28:07I work for Blankey Leonard.
00:28:08You heard of him?
00:28:09Yes, he's the gangster.
00:28:13I mean, he's nightclub owner.
00:28:15That's a little better, bud.
00:28:17He sent me here to talk a deal over with you.
00:28:20Oh, uh...
00:28:22You were with me?
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:24Uh, cookie, you run upstairs and get your hat and coat,
00:28:26and daddy will take you to the office.
00:28:28All right, daddy.
00:28:29Yeah.
00:28:30Won't you sit...
00:28:31Huh?
00:28:39Look, guy, I'll get right down to the facts.
00:28:42Blankey's got a girlfriend named Hazel.
00:28:45Hazel's crazy about dogs.
00:28:47She fed a gander the picture of that mud of yours,
00:28:49and she wants him.
00:28:50Oh, Daisy?
00:28:52Yeah, how much do you want for the pooch?
00:28:55Oh, we don't want to sell her.
00:28:57Ah, you don't understand me, Bumstead.
00:28:59Oh, yes, I do.
00:29:00Look, Hazel wants the dog.
00:29:03Blankey gets what Hazel wants.
00:29:06So, Bumstead, how much?
00:29:08Well, we...
00:29:10I...
00:29:11We couldn't sell her.
00:29:14Ain't that awful?
00:29:16He won't sell us Daisy.
00:29:22Oh.
00:29:24That's me, daddy.
00:29:25Oh, yes, cookie.
00:29:27It's too bad you don't want to do business legitimate.
00:29:30You know, that makes things kind of complicated.
00:29:33You better sell it to us, Bumstead,
00:29:35because we're going to get rid of you.
00:29:37Hey!
00:29:38Huh?
00:29:39Wait a minute.
00:29:40You're kind of clumsy with kids.
00:29:42What's the matter, baby?
00:29:44Did he hurt you?
00:29:45Huh?
00:29:46Ain't you afraid of me?
00:29:47You better think over what I said, Bumstead,
00:29:49and call me at Blankey's place,
00:29:51the Kit-Kat Club.
00:29:53Goodbye, honey.
00:29:55Hey, you annoy me.
00:29:57How many times...
00:29:58I'm talking and the guy's always just doing things.
00:30:01What's the matter with you, huh?
00:30:03Oh, come on, cookie.
00:30:06Daddy, are those men going to take Daisy?
00:30:08Of course not.
00:30:10They were just talking through their hats.
00:30:14Like I'm talking through mine?
00:30:16Huh?
00:30:17Oh, no.
00:30:19Oh, no.
00:30:29Hmm.
00:30:30I see we have company today, huh?
00:30:32Is, uh, is Mr. Tithers in his office?
00:30:34He came in about ten minutes ago.
00:30:36Oh, well, I hope he doesn't come out,
00:30:38because I want to put cookie in my office before he sees her.
00:30:40So what if he does see her?
00:30:41What if he gets sore and fires you?
00:30:43You don't have to worry about money anymore.
00:30:45That little four-footed goldmine of yours is doing all right.
00:30:48Now, sit here, Ollie.
00:30:49Shh.
00:30:50You want him to hear you?
00:30:51Of course not.
00:30:52No, just...
00:30:53Cookie, now, now.
00:30:54You just be as quiet as you can and follow daddy.
00:30:59Hagrid!
00:31:03Since when did my office become a day nursery?
00:31:05Oh, well, you see, Blondie had to take Daisy to work,
00:31:08and nobody could take care of cookie but me.
00:31:10Now, you'll be very quiet, won't you, cookie?
00:31:14You see, cookie...
00:31:17She won't make any noise, Mr. Dithers.
00:31:19Well, all right.
00:31:20She better stay out here where somebody can keep an eye on her,
00:31:22because I want you in my office.
00:31:23We're going to finish those plans today.
00:31:25Sure, Mr. Dithers.
00:31:26We'll finish them.
00:31:27Now, come on, cookie.
00:31:28You can sit at a desk and make believe you're daddy.
00:31:31I don't want to sleep.
00:31:37Come on over here.
00:31:43There you are.
00:31:47Oh, we won't be bothered anymore now, Mr. Dithers.
00:31:50Cookie promised to be quiet.
00:31:52Good.
00:31:53Well, very good.
00:31:54We just have to change this community house and we're through.
00:31:57Oh, boy, I hope Mr. Rutledge likes our plans.
00:32:00You'll get your loan and I'll get my bonus.
00:32:02And Blondie ought to be impressed when I show her what I can earn.
00:32:06And Daisy will sit up and take notice, too.
00:32:08Quiet.
00:32:09Listen.
00:32:11I don't hear anything.
00:32:13That's just it.
00:32:14It's too quiet out there.
00:32:15It's too quiet out there.
00:32:36I got somebody.
00:32:39Now, don't tell me.
00:32:41I know.
00:32:42Oh, yeah.
00:32:43I know.
00:32:45It's Joe.
00:32:46No, it isn't Joe.
00:32:47No, wait a minute.
00:32:49This is fun.
00:32:59Mr. Dithers.
00:33:05Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Dithers.
00:33:07I'll put Cookie in my office.
00:33:09Now, kiddies, the play hour is over.
00:33:12So you'll all get back to work.
00:33:13Yes, sir.
00:33:19Daddy, let's call up Mr. Dithers.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:22No, no.
00:33:23Don't touch that, honey.
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25Now, here.
00:33:26You sit right over here.
00:33:28There you are.
00:33:30Yeah, nice pencil and paper.
00:33:32And I want you to draw Daddy some nice pictures, huh?
00:33:34Okay?
00:33:36Bye.
00:33:37Bye-bye.
00:33:42Believe.
00:34:13Mr. Dithers, this community house will make history.
00:34:16Well, I hope Simon Rudley thinks so.
00:34:18Of course, we could cut a new door in there.
00:34:20That's a good idea.
00:34:22Hello, Cookie.
00:34:23Hello, sweetheart.
00:34:24On the other hand, the...
00:34:29Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Dithers.
00:34:31I'll put Cookie in my office.
00:34:32Now, kiddies, the play hour is over.
00:34:34So you'll all get back to work.
00:34:35Yeah.
00:34:36Bye-bye.
00:34:37Bye-bye.
00:34:38Bye-bye.
00:34:39Bye-bye.
00:34:40Bye-bye.
00:34:42Oh!
00:34:47Oh, now, Dagwood, don't go to pieces.
00:34:49Now, you just brace yourself and leave this to me.
00:34:52Now, just leave this all to me.
00:34:54Cookie?
00:35:00Huh?
00:35:02Cookie?
00:35:03Cookie?
00:35:06Cookie, wait!
00:35:11Don't worry.
00:35:12Don't worry, Cookie.
00:35:13Don't be afraid now.
00:35:15Oh, get her out of here, Dagwood.
00:35:17Take her back to Blondie.
00:35:19I'm getting too old.
00:35:20I can't take this sort of thing anymore.
00:35:22Well, I've aged 10 years in the last two minutes myself.
00:35:24Get her out of here.
00:35:26All right, come on, Cookie.
00:35:28Don't worry, Daddy.
00:35:29I'll take you to Mommy.
00:35:30Come on, Cookie.
00:35:42Yes?
00:35:43Excuse me.
00:35:44I was looking for my wife.
00:35:45Does she work here?
00:35:46Well, not exactly.
00:35:47She's here with my dog, Daisy.
00:35:48Oh, I see.
00:35:49Mr. Bumstead, hello!
00:35:51And hello, little Cookie.
00:35:53Want to see your wife, Mr. Bumstead?
00:35:55Yes, I wanted her to take Cookie off my hands.
00:35:57Oh, well, she's in the studio with Daisy now,
00:35:59and the child might be in the way.
00:36:01But you can leave her with Miss Emery,
00:36:03and then you can pop in and see your wife.
00:36:05Oh, that'll be nice.
00:36:06Oh, and now, Cookie, you stay here with the nice lady,
00:36:08but don't walk outside the window.
00:36:11Mm-hmm.
00:36:19See, our advertising firm maintains this photographic studio.
00:36:22Ah.
00:36:23In these rooms, we have models posing for everything
00:36:26from helicopters to hair ties.
00:36:29Oh, Mr. Glaspie, I'm just trying to get you in your office.
00:36:31Will you come in here a moment?
00:36:32Certainly, John.
00:36:33Oh, uh, you go right ahead, Mr. Bumstead.
00:36:35Your wife is in Studio 5 with Anthony, our head photographer.
00:36:38Oh, all right.
00:36:40What beautiful eyes, and such silky hair.
00:36:43You're really the loveliest thing I've ever seen.
00:36:46Do you really think so, Anthony?
00:36:48Why should I lie, Mrs. Bumstead?
00:36:50I wish I could find someone as adorable and lovable as you.
00:36:53Oh.
00:36:58Yes, indeed, Daisy, you're a cutie.
00:37:00Huh?
00:37:02Why, Dagwood, what a surprise.
00:37:05Dagwood, what a surprise.
00:37:07Uh, this is my husband, and this is Anthony, dear.
00:37:10He's been saying the nicest things to Daisy.
00:37:12Yeah?
00:37:13I photographed all kinds of dogs, Mr. Bumstead,
00:37:15but Daisy is tops as far as I'm concerned.
00:37:17You're a lucky man to own this valuable piece of property.
00:37:20Thanks.
00:37:21Okay.
00:37:22I think we're ready for one more pose, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:37:25Whenever you're ready, Anthony.
00:37:27Oh, Dagwood, I'm so glad you came to watch Daisy work.
00:37:31Oh, I brought Cookie with me, too,
00:37:33but the young lady in the reception room is taking care of her.
00:37:35Well, what happened to Mrs. Adams?
00:37:37Well, she couldn't come over and...
00:37:38Mrs. Bumstead, we're ready.
00:37:40Oh, all right, Anthony.
00:37:41Wait till you see Daisy all dressed up.
00:37:45Trouble, trouble, trouble, always at the last minute.
00:37:48One of our male models just got word that his wife gave birth to twins,
00:37:51and he fainted, twice.
00:37:53Puts us in a bad spot.
00:37:55We've got to get set on this ad today.
00:37:57It's not going to be easy to get a substitute at this late date.
00:38:00You see, he's got to look sort of, uh...
00:38:07Come on, Daisy.
00:38:10Daisy, come on.
00:38:20Oh, you darling you.
00:38:22You sweet, sweet thing.
00:38:25Come on, sit down.
00:38:30Come on.
00:38:38Is there something wrong?
00:38:39No, indeed.
00:38:40Oh, Mr. Bumstead, how would you like to become a model?
00:38:43Huh?
00:38:44Where do you begin?
00:38:45Oh, there.
00:38:46Oh, you'll be perfect for this ad.
00:38:49And as I told you before, we do need someone very badly.
00:38:53Oh, no, no, no, I couldn't, Mr. Grasby.
00:38:55I don't know how to model.
00:38:57All you have to do is to pose and get paid for it.
00:39:00Yes, but...
00:39:01Now, don't move, Daisy.
00:39:03I think we can take it now.
00:39:04Jimmy, get your fans going.
00:39:11All right.
00:39:12Here we go, Daisy.
00:39:14Now, steady.
00:39:15Hold it.
00:39:18Swell.
00:39:19That's it.
00:39:20You can stop posing, Daisy.
00:39:23Come back now, Daisy.
00:39:25It's all over.
00:39:28Oh, that's another $100 for our smart little girl.
00:39:35Where do you pay models, Mr. Grasby?
00:39:37The top prices in town.
00:39:38It's a deal.
00:39:39I'll pose.
00:39:40Great.
00:39:41I'll tell Miss Emery that we found our man.
00:39:42Now, you go into studio four, and I'll meet you there.
00:39:45Careless.
00:39:53Dagwood, did you see Daisy?
00:39:54Oh, yes.
00:39:55Yes, I did.
00:39:56Isn't it cute the way she poses?
00:39:58I'm going to do a little posing myself.
00:40:00You are?
00:40:01Mr. Grasby thinks I'm a perfect type for a certain ad,
00:40:04and incidentally, I'll be well paid for my work.
00:40:07Oh, Dagwood, how wonderful.
00:40:09How much?
00:40:10Well, I don't know, but I guess if animals get $100 for posing,
00:40:15humans ought to get a lot more.
00:40:17Well, I've got to go over to studio four now and get ready.
00:40:21Maybe they'll let me watch you, Dagwood.
00:40:23First, I'll take care of Daisy and Cookie,
00:40:25and then I'll come right in and see you.
00:40:27Oh, if you like.
00:40:28Oh.
00:40:41Well, Mr. Bumstead, I guess we're all set.
00:40:43You can undress in this little room here.
00:40:45I would undress?
00:40:47Yes, indeed.
00:40:48Yes, indeed.
00:40:49You're to pose for a bathing suit company.
00:40:51Oh.
00:40:52Bathing suit, huh?
00:40:54Oh, boy, wait till Blondie finds that out.
00:40:56First, you'll pose in an old-fashioned bathing suit.
00:40:59Then you'll put on our new streamlined peachy-beachy suit.
00:41:02The job will only take an hour or two.
00:41:04Oh, I've got all the time in the world.
00:41:06What am I saying?
00:41:07Mr. Dithers expects me back to the office.
00:41:09Maybe I'd better call him, huh?
00:41:10Oh, well, here.
00:41:11You can use that phone right over there.
00:41:12Oh, yeah.
00:41:14Uh, Warren 5748.
00:41:20Yes, Mary.
00:41:21Dagwood's on the phone, Mr. Dithers.
00:41:23The phone?
00:41:24Well, you ought to be back in the office.
00:41:27Well, what is it now?
00:41:30Say that again.
00:41:31It sounded as though you said you were going to be a model.
00:41:35You are?
00:41:36Yes, Mr. Dithers.
00:41:37I figured during my lunch hour I could make some money posing.
00:41:41For peanuts, I suppose.
00:41:43No, for bathing suits.
00:41:46Well, be sure you don't go over your lunch hour.
00:41:48We've still got work to do.
00:41:50Oh, I'll be right back as soon as I finish, Mr. Dithers.
00:41:52No, there's nothing here that'll detain me.
00:41:55Yeah, I know.
00:41:56We'll get the work done today.
00:41:59Yeah, well, you see, J.C.,
00:42:00I've got some ideas about changing a few figures.
00:42:04What kind of figures, Dagwood?
00:42:06Tell her.
00:42:08Well, talk, will you?
00:42:09What kind of figures are on your mind?
00:42:11Dagwood, say something!
00:42:14Andy!
00:42:19Mr. Glasby, I can't pose for you.
00:42:21What? Why not?
00:42:28Oh, I'm sure your wife won't be jealous of him.
00:42:31Yeah, but you don't know Blondie.
00:42:33Oh, but she'll understand you haven't any interest in these girls.
00:42:36Why, she knows you wouldn't give one of them a single glance.
00:42:39As I was saying, you wouldn't give one of them a single glance.
00:42:42Oh, no, of course not.
00:42:44But Blondie will.
00:42:45I'd better call this off.
00:42:46Oh, but you can't.
00:42:47This ad must be done today.
00:42:49Yeah, but Blondie...
00:42:50Now, don't worry about her.
00:42:51I'll see that she doesn't come in here.
00:42:53Oh, you want to earn some extra easy money, don't you?
00:42:56Why, of course you do.
00:42:58You just go into that dressing room.
00:43:00I'll take care of your wife.
00:43:02Oh, Mr. Glasby, is Dagwood ready to pose?
00:43:05Not yet, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:43:07However, there's a matter I want to discuss with you in my office.
00:43:10Oh, can it wait? I want to see Dagwood.
00:43:12Oh, no, wait a minute.
00:43:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:43:14I didn't mean to raise my voice.
00:43:16I guess I'm a little nervous today.
00:43:18You see, Mrs. Bumstead, Dagwood told me he wanted to surprise you
00:43:21and show you the picture after it's made.
00:43:24But I...
00:43:25I knew you'd say yes.
00:43:28All right, let me see it.
00:43:31That's right, girls, you've got the idea.
00:43:34Bumstead, strike that pose I gave you.
00:43:46That's better.
00:43:47You see, Bumstead, the ad is going to be released
00:43:49in a couple of days.
00:43:50I'm sure you'll like it.
00:43:51I'm sure you'll like it.
00:43:52I'm sure you'll like it.
00:43:53I'm sure you'll like it.
00:43:54I'm sure you'll like it.
00:43:55That's better.
00:43:56You see, Bumstead, the ad is going to read,
00:43:58you're as old-fashioned as this coot
00:44:00unless you wear a peachy-beachy suit.
00:44:03All right, girls, give him the business.
00:44:06Bumstead, be yourself.
00:44:08Look like a dole.
00:44:11No, listen.
00:44:12That's it, perfect.
00:44:13Hold it.
00:44:14All right, boys, hit your lights.
00:44:17Here we go.
00:44:19Hold it.
00:44:21Swell.
00:44:22Now let's take a crack at the other one.
00:44:24I think you're really cute
00:44:25when you wear your peachy-beachy suit.
00:44:27Now, girls, you stay right here,
00:44:29and, Bumstead, you get into your sarong.
00:44:31Sarong?
00:44:32Go ahead and change, Mr. Bumstead.
00:44:34Sure, surprise us.
00:44:41Oh, I think the pictures are lovely, Mr. Bumstead.
00:44:44Now can I see Dagwood?
00:44:46No, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:44:47Why can't I see him?
00:44:48Because I promised him I'd keep you out.
00:44:51I mean, that is,
00:44:52he wants to surprise you with the finished picture.
00:44:55Goodness, it sounds like you two men are plotting something.
00:44:59What a silly idea, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:45:06I wish Daisy wouldn't do that.
00:45:07No, she wants to see Dagwood, too.
00:45:09Well, she can't.
00:45:13Daisy just ran into the corridor.
00:45:14Oh, she'll be all right, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:45:16All right, girls, you can take your places now.
00:45:18Mr. Bumstead, we're ready for you.
00:45:22Mr. Bumstead, we're ready for you.
00:45:24Yeah, it's a little drafty in here, isn't it?
00:45:28Not bad.
00:45:30Well, look at him.
00:45:31You look good, Bumstead.
00:45:32Now you take your same position.
00:45:33And girls, you know what to do this time.
00:45:35All right, come on.
00:45:36Come on, Dorothy.
00:45:37You get right over here.
00:45:38Now let's make this a good one.
00:45:42Bumstead, aren't you enjoying yourself?
00:45:44You look as if you expected your wife to walk in any minute.
00:45:47Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:45:49Bumstead, aren't you enjoying yourself?
00:45:50You look as if you expected your wife to walk in any minute.
00:45:53Well, do they have to do what they're doing?
00:45:56A fine thing.
00:45:57The average man would pay to be in your spot and you're complaining.
00:46:00I'm not an average man.
00:46:06Look out.
00:46:12Woo!
00:46:13Woo!
00:46:16Isn't that Daisy in one of the studios?
00:46:18Well, of course not, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:46:20Let's go.
00:46:21Daisy, will you go on and scram?
00:46:24Can't you see I'm working?
00:46:25Woo!
00:46:26Woo!
00:46:29It is Daisy.
00:46:31And she's giving the wolf call.
00:46:34Woo!
00:46:37Daisy, don't look at me like that.
00:46:39Will you go on?
00:46:40Daisy, go on.
00:46:41Beat it.
00:46:42Can't you see I'm busy?
00:46:43You are, aren't you?
00:46:45Yes, I am.
00:46:46Blondie.
00:46:47Excuse me, ladies.
00:46:49Oh, Blondie, I was just posing.
00:46:51So I see.
00:46:52Fun, isn't it?
00:46:53Oh, now, Blondie, I was just doing it to make as much money as Daisy.
00:46:57Why, Mr. Bumstead, I didn't say you'd get as much as Daisy.
00:47:00You're to be paid at our usual model rates, $7.50 per hour.
00:47:03And since you'll be posing for two hours, you'll earn $15.
00:47:06$15?
00:47:08So you were going to be paid more than Daisy.
00:47:10Evidently, it wasn't just the money that interested you.
00:47:13Oh, now, Blondie, you don't think...
00:47:19Blondie.
00:47:24I'm sorry, Dagwood.
00:47:25I tried to keep her out, but Daisy gave the show away.
00:47:28Daisy, Daisy, Daisy.
00:47:29That's all I've been hearing, morning, noon, and night.
00:47:32Daisy's taking my place in the family.
00:47:34She's earning more money than I am, and now she's...
00:47:36She's got Blondie sore at me.
00:47:38Well, cheer up.
00:47:39Maybe after a little lunch, you'll see things differently.
00:47:42Lunch?
00:47:43Daisy keeps interfering in my life.
00:47:45I won't ever be able to eat.
00:47:49I'm not going to stand for it.
00:47:51I'm not going to let a dog run my house and family.
00:47:55I'll tell Blondie how I feel.
00:47:57I'm not afraid of her.
00:48:01Is that you, Blondie?
00:48:03No, it's us, Daddy.
00:48:07Hey, what are you two doing out of bed?
00:48:09What are you doing out of bed?
00:48:11Well, I couldn't sleep,
00:48:13so I thought I'd make myself a little sandwich.
00:48:16Cookie and I couldn't sleep either.
00:48:18We're not very happy.
00:48:20What's the matter, Alexander?
00:48:22It's Daisy.
00:48:23Yeah, Daisy.
00:48:32Ever since Daisy began working, home's been different.
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:36Mommy has to spend so much time with her,
00:48:38we don't see Mommy very often.
00:48:40I might become a juvenile delinquent.
00:48:42Yeah, that's true.
00:48:44Mommy used to help me with my homework,
00:48:47but now she answers Daisy's fan mail.
00:48:49Yeah, I know how you feel, Alexander.
00:48:52Sometimes I wish Daisy would go away.
00:48:56And never come back.
00:48:59Do you both really feel that way?
00:49:02You, Daddy?
00:49:03Yes, I do.
00:49:04Daisy was responsible for a lot of things happening today
00:49:07between your mother and me.
00:49:09Mr. Ditters is angry at me
00:49:11because I didn't go back to the office.
00:49:13Yes, I wish Daisy would go away!
00:49:16But I'm gonna do something about it.
00:49:18Well, it's about time we decided who was head of this family.
00:49:40I thought I heard voices down here.
00:49:46Is this a private party, or can anyone join in?
00:49:50Blondie, we were all a little hungry.
00:49:53I should think so.
00:49:55You three hardly ate anything at dinner.
00:49:57Yeah.
00:50:01Well, if you want me to leave, I'll...
00:50:03Oh, gosh, no, Blondie.
00:50:05Well, if you want me to leave, I'll...
00:50:07Oh, gosh, no, Blondie.
00:50:09This is a family affair.
00:50:12And I think it's time we had a family talk.
00:50:20Something's happened to us in the last few weeks.
00:50:22We've grown apart.
00:50:23And I think I know the reason.
00:50:25It's Daisy.
00:50:29Dagwood, you've resented her because she earns more than you.
00:50:33And you've both felt neglected because I've had to spend so much time with her.
00:50:37But don't you see that what Daisy is doing is for all of us?
00:50:40She's part of the family.
00:50:42And families aren't supposed to be jealous of each other.
00:50:46We all share in any good fortune that comes along.
00:50:50Just think over what I've said and see if you can't feel more kindly towards her.
00:50:57Oh, Dagwood, I want to apologize for this afternoon.
00:51:00I really didn't think you were interested in those...
00:51:05Peach peaches.
00:51:11I sure feel better than I did.
00:51:13I must have been crazy thinking those things about Daisy.
00:51:16Wishing she was gone.
00:51:18Can you imagine this house without her around?
00:51:21Why, she grew up with you, Alexander.
00:51:23And she is one of the families.
00:51:25And families are supposed to pitch in and work together.
00:51:28And maybe someday Daisy's earnings will send you two through college.
00:51:32And if Mr. Dithers ever really fires me and I need a nest egg...
00:51:37Daisy will be right there with a helping paw.
00:51:41Let's not ever think of sending Daisy away.
00:51:44Let's forget we ever mentioned the whole thing.
00:51:51What are we waiting on?
00:51:53Oh, boy.
00:51:58Oh, boy.
00:52:04Daisy.
00:52:09Daisy.
00:52:13Dagwood! Cookie! Alexander!
00:52:29What's up, Blondie-ham?
00:52:31It's Daisy. She's gone.
00:52:33Gone where?
00:52:35Well, I don't know. I can't find her anywhere.
00:52:37Maybe she's missing a friend.
00:52:39Oh, she would have left word if she were.
00:52:41Oh, no.
00:52:43I know. The dog catcher.
00:52:45Maybe she was running around loose and he picked her up.
00:52:51Oh, where is she?
00:52:53Huh? Don't pretend you don't know.
00:52:56Daisy.
00:52:57No, I haven't. Honest.
00:52:58I come over here to get her autograph for my kid.
00:53:00Yeah, but...
00:53:01And I brought her some chopped meat.
00:53:09You mean she's gone?
00:53:13She wouldn't have run away.
00:53:15Maybe she did.
00:53:17Well, Alexander, what do you mean?
00:53:19Last night before you came down,
00:53:21Daddy and Cookie and I sort of mentioned we wished Daisy would leave.
00:53:25She might have heard us.
00:53:27But later we...
00:53:28You said you wanted Daisy to leave?
00:53:31Yeah, but...
00:53:32You three really said that?
00:53:34Yes, but...
00:53:35Oh, how could you?
00:53:37I... I...
00:53:40I can't believe it.
00:53:47Of course she must have heard you, poor darling.
00:53:50Poor little girl.
00:53:55I'll call the newspapers.
00:53:57She must be around the neighborhood.
00:54:03Will you get me the city news, please?
00:54:06If anything's happened to her, I'll never forgive you.
00:54:10City news.
00:54:12I want the Lost and Found Department, please.
00:54:15I can see her now, roaming through the streets,
00:54:18hiding behind ash cans,
00:54:20eating stale bits of bread.
00:54:23Hello, Lost and Found Department.
00:54:26I want to report a missing dog.
00:54:29What kind of dog?
00:54:31Well, she's sort of a...
00:54:33Terrier, Cocker Spaniel,
00:54:35Schnauzer, Scotty,
00:54:37and Poodle.
00:54:39You don't mean Daisy.
00:54:54Daddy misses his little girl.
00:54:57If Daddy doesn't get out of work,
00:54:59he's gonna miss a nice fat bonus.
00:55:01But, Mr. Dennis, I...
00:55:03Now, look here, Dagwood.
00:55:05I know how you feel about Daisy.
00:55:07I feel bad myself that she's missing.
00:55:09But she'll come back.
00:55:10Meanwhile, there's no point fretting about her.
00:55:12Now, Simon Rutledge will be here any minute.
00:55:14You've got to be on your toes when we talk to him.
00:55:16Dagwood, we've simply got to sell him on our plans
00:55:18so we can borrow that money.
00:55:20I know, but...
00:55:21I can't think about anything when I'm thinking about Daisy.
00:55:24What if she's hurt or hungry?
00:55:26I wake up at night hearing her calling,
00:55:28Dagwood, blinded.
00:55:30Stop humanizing that dog
00:55:32and putting words in her mouth.
00:55:36For all you know,
00:55:37she's coming up the front walk right now saying,
00:55:39I'm home, Mommy and Poppy.
00:55:41I've...
00:55:42You've got me doing it.
00:55:44Come into my office.
00:55:46Come into my office.
00:55:50Oh, Daisy, where are you?
00:55:59What a cutum she is.
00:56:01Such a widdle honey bunny.
00:56:04Hi, boys.
00:56:06Gather around, I've got some news.
00:56:08Blackie, darling,
00:56:09see what the boys found for Hazel Wazel?
00:56:11So that's the pooch you've been wanting, huh?
00:56:13What's it supposed to be?
00:56:15I know she isn't a thoroughbred,
00:56:16but I want her, understand?
00:56:18She looks kind of helpless, like me.
00:56:21As long as you're happy, baby.
00:56:23Who got it for her?
00:56:24Joe and me.
00:56:25We were leaving the club early this morning
00:56:27when we piped the mud coming down the street,
00:56:29so he grabs her.
00:56:30Didn't even put up a fight.
00:56:32We're gonna have a fight on our hands
00:56:33if we don't get out of town right away.
00:56:35The cops are wise to their last deal of ours,
00:56:37and we're plenty hot.
00:56:38We'll take Daisy, won't we?
00:56:40Yeah, we'll take Daisy.
00:56:42I don't think we should, boss.
00:56:43They got her played up in all the papers.
00:56:45Yeah, they're even stopping all the cars
00:56:46and stationing them for her.
00:56:48Yeah?
00:56:49Well, that's not too good.
00:56:50We'll have to leave her then.
00:56:52You know, we can't get caught for stealing a mutt.
00:56:55I won't go unless Daisy does.
00:56:57Oh, baby, please.
00:57:01Wait a minute.
00:57:02I got an idea.
00:57:04Sure.
00:57:05Sure we can take the pooch.
00:57:08I'll get Doc to do some work on her.
00:57:10If he can change the guy's kisser,
00:57:11he ought to be able to do a little plastic work on a dog.
00:57:13Plastic work?
00:57:14Well, I like Daisy the way she is.
00:57:16Oh, now, honey, look.
00:57:17As long as we have to have the dog with us,
00:57:19we'll be dead pigeons.
00:57:21Now, the doc can change her eyes, make them smaller.
00:57:24And he can shorten the tail.
00:57:27Dye the hair another color.
00:57:29Could lop off those long ears.
00:57:33Say, when we get through with that pooch,
00:57:34even her own father wouldn't recognize her.
00:57:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:57:43Dagwood, we're all ready for Rutledge.
00:57:49Stop looking like a sick cow.
00:57:51I can't help it, Mr. Diddy.
00:57:52Daisy's missing and Blondie's blaming me.
00:57:57Yes, Mary?
00:57:58Mrs. Bumstead is calling Dagwood.
00:58:00Take the phone, Dagwood.
00:58:04Yes, Blondie?
00:58:05Is Daisy home?
00:58:06No, Dagwood.
00:58:07But I just found out from Cookie where she might be.
00:58:10She told me two men were here the other day
00:58:11inquiring about Daisy.
00:58:13Hey, that's right.
00:58:14Two men did come to the house.
00:58:15They said they wanted to buy Daisy,
00:58:17and when I refused to sell her to them,
00:58:19they, well, they said they'd get her by hook or crook.
00:58:22You want to know the crook's name?
00:58:24Oh, it, uh, it was, um, wait a minute.
00:58:27Uh, oh, I, I, I can't think of it.
00:58:30Oh, Dagwood.
00:58:32Cookie said they mentioned a nightclub,
00:58:34but she can't remember the name.
00:58:36Oh, please say that you do.
00:58:38Oh, sure I can remember it.
00:58:39It was at, uh, the, uh, um, wait a minute.
00:58:44Oh, gee, Blondie, I'm so mixed up,
00:58:45I can't think of it either.
00:58:47Oh, Dagwood.
00:58:49Yes, I'll go to work on Cookie,
00:58:51and you look up the nightclubs in the classified phone book.
00:58:54Maybe that'll refresh your memory.
00:58:56Yes, and call me right back when you find the name.
00:58:59Well, if Daisy's been dognapped,
00:59:01shouldn't we notify the police?
00:59:04I'll get it.
00:59:09Mrs. Bumstead?
00:59:10Yes?
00:59:11Don't you know who we are?
00:59:13No, I'm, I'm afraid I don't.
00:59:15Oh, you're the sailors from the South Pacific.
00:59:17You've ordered Daisy your pinup dog.
00:59:19That's right, kid.
00:59:20Bob Adams gave us this address.
00:59:22We have a present for Daisy.
00:59:24Yeah, where is she?
00:59:26That's what we want to know.
00:59:28Huh?
00:59:31Yes, Mary?
00:59:33He's here, Mr. Dithers.
00:59:35Rutledge, send him in.
00:59:37Here, Dagwood, our man's arrived.
00:59:41Stop that, will you?
00:59:46Well, well, Mr. Rutledge,
00:59:48it's a pleasure to see you.
00:59:50Yes, indeed, Mr. Dithers.
00:59:52Oh.
00:59:54Is he ill?
00:59:56No, no, he's just having a bad day.
00:59:58Oh, I have trouble with my feet, too.
01:00:01May I take your coat?
01:00:03Yes, yes.
01:00:06Dagwood.
01:00:08Dagwood!
01:00:09Take Mr. Rutledge's briefcase.
01:00:11Thank you, young man.
01:00:13Won't you sit down, Mr. Rutledge?
01:00:17Now, with regard to that first project of ours...
01:00:20Take that!
01:00:22Dagwood!
01:00:24He's just full of animal spares, Mr. Rutledge.
01:00:27Well, we don't need him.
01:00:29I guess not.
01:00:31I've investigated you and your company, Mr. Dithers,
01:00:33and I feel that you qualify for a loan.
01:00:35You mean you lend me the money?
01:00:37Yes.
01:00:39I had my lawyers draw up the contracts
01:00:41and make up $100,000.
01:00:43You did?
01:00:45Yes.
01:00:47Well, may I see the contracts?
01:00:49I'm afraid we'll have to wait
01:00:51until that young man returns.
01:00:53You see, they're in my briefcase,
01:00:55and he took the case with him.
01:00:57Oh.
01:00:59He took the case with him?
01:01:01Oh!
01:01:03Do you remember what he said when he left?
01:01:05Uh, goodbye, I think.
01:01:07No, no, it was the name of a nightclub.
01:01:09Something like Knick-Knack.
01:01:11If I could see the name, I might remember it.
01:01:13Look, Cookie, is it the name of a city like Shanghai?
01:01:15Uh-uh.
01:01:17How about the name of a musical instrument like the banjo club?
01:01:19Uh-uh.
01:01:21How about the guitar club?
01:01:23Uh-uh.
01:01:25That's it!
01:01:27The Kit-Kat Club!
01:01:29Cookie, my precious!
01:01:31Oh, boy, maybe there'll be a fight.
01:01:33Come on, guys, let's go.
01:01:35Yes, come on.
01:01:37Oh, that's right, there might be a fight.
01:01:39You three children better stay here.
01:01:41Oh!
01:01:43I'll call a cab.
01:01:45Oh, Mrs. Bumstead, that'll take time.
01:01:47My father's car happens to be in the garage,
01:01:49and I happen to know where the key is.
01:01:53You're in, Tommy.
01:01:55You can all come.
01:01:57Let's get the car, kid.
01:01:59This way, mates.
01:02:01Mommy, shall I call Daddy?
01:02:03All right, Alexander.
01:02:05Cookie and I will get ready.
01:02:07Hurry up, Cookie.
01:02:09Warren, 5748.
01:02:11Lollapalooza Club.
01:02:13Lulu's Dugout.
01:02:15Marigold Club.
01:02:17Yes, Marigold.
01:02:19Marigold?
01:02:21Mr. Dithers, is there any way of getting in touch with Dagwood?
01:02:23Alexander just found out Daisy's at the Kit-Kat Club.
01:02:25I'll tell her when he comes in.
01:02:29Kit-Kat Club?
01:02:31That's it. I know where that is.
01:02:33Come on, Mr. Rutledge.
01:02:37So the doc said he couldn't make it, huh?
01:02:39I told him he'd send his assistant over.
01:02:41He should be here by now.
01:02:43Well, I'll give him just five more minutes.
01:02:45You help the boys get packed.
01:02:47Okay, Wagy.
01:02:55Hasn't the doctor's assistant come yet?
01:02:57No, the goon probably can't find the place.
01:02:59Maybe that's him now.
01:03:01Just in case it isn't.
01:03:03Here, Daisy, darling, under the table.
01:03:07Come in.
01:03:09Come in.
01:03:11Well, I see you finally got here.
01:03:13Yes.
01:03:15I suppose you want to see the dog?
01:03:17Yes, that's why I came.
01:03:19This way, doctor.
01:03:21Doctor?
01:03:23The doc's here, Hazel.
01:03:25Better get the pooch out.
01:03:27All right, Daisy, baby, come on out.
01:03:29Daisy.
01:03:31The last she is. Doc think he can handle her?
01:03:33Oh, why, yes.
01:03:35Good. Well, go ahead.
01:03:37Oh, but I don't understand.
01:03:39Say, didn't your boss tell you we wanted you to operate on the dog
01:03:41Oh, yes, but...
01:03:43Well, can you do it?
01:03:45Can I do it?
01:03:47Oh, yes.
01:03:49Yes, indeed.
01:03:51Naturally,
01:03:53I can't operate here.
01:03:55I'll need my instruments.
01:03:57My saws, chisels,
01:03:59and pliers, and...
01:04:01Oh, of course, I'll have to take the little doggy with me.
01:04:05Flacky!
01:04:07I don't want to give up, Daisy.
01:04:09I don't know how you feel, my dear lady,
01:04:11but there's really nothing to worry about.
01:04:13Now that Daisy's in my hands...
01:04:19Goodbye.
01:04:21Hey, wait a minute.
01:04:25You know who this guy is?
01:04:27He's Bumpstead, the owner of the dog.
01:04:29What?
01:04:31So, wise guy, you thought you were going to pull a fast one
01:04:33and double-cross me.
01:04:35Oh, no, I didn't.
01:04:37It wasn't.
01:04:43Well, you better stay here, ma'am.
01:04:45There's no telling what'll happen.
01:04:57Huh?
01:04:59What?
01:05:07Whoa!
01:05:13Whoa!
01:05:37Whoa!
01:06:03Mr. Dithers, what are you doing here?
01:06:05I came to see Dagwood. He's in there with important papers.
01:06:07Dagwood?
01:06:09You stay here, and I'll go and get the briefcase,
01:06:11and you can sign the papers.
01:06:13Don't let him get away, now.
01:06:15I won't let her get away.
01:06:35Whoa!
01:06:53Hey!
01:07:05Come on.
01:07:13Mr. Dithers.
01:07:15Yes, it's Mr. Dithers, you fool.
01:07:17I almost had the briefcase with the contracts in it.
01:07:19The refuge is ready to sign.
01:07:21Help me find the briefcase.
01:07:23Yeah, but I gotta find Daisy.
01:07:25Never mind Daisy. Help me find the case.
01:07:35Come on, Dagwood. Let's go this way.
01:07:37Dagwood, wake up.
01:07:39Wake up.
01:08:01Goodness, I wonder what's going on in there.
01:08:03I think I'll take a look at the floor, shall we?
01:08:17My butt is crowded in there.
01:08:19I'm going in.
01:08:21After all, I made a marriage vow that I'd stick with Dagwood for better or worse.
01:08:27And things seem to be getting worse all the time.
01:08:33Let's go.
01:08:47Blondie!
01:08:53This happens to be my dog.
01:08:55Oh, yeah? Well, listen, sister, I want it and what I want I get.
01:08:57Hand back the pooch.
01:08:59I'm sorry, but I'd rather not.
01:09:01I want the dog.
01:09:03One...
01:09:05Two...
01:09:07Three!
01:09:19Well, Blondie's got Daisy.
01:09:21I want that briefcase.
01:09:31Say, Blondie!
01:09:33Oh, Blondie.
01:09:35Where is he?
01:09:37Where's the briefcase?
01:09:39All right, break it up, break it up.
01:09:41Come on, get up here.
01:09:43Stay where you are, everybody.
01:09:45Don't move.
01:09:51I wouldn't try that if I were you.
01:10:01Blondie!
01:10:09Excuse me.
01:10:11Here.
01:10:13All right, come on.
01:10:15You too.
01:10:17Come on.
01:10:19Officer, here's the gun.
01:10:27Dagwood!
01:10:29My hero!
01:10:33Oh, Blondie.
01:10:37This is the most exciting business deal I ever transcribed.
01:10:43Gee, Blondie, I don't care if Daisy is the breadwinner for the family.
01:10:47As long as we're all together.
01:10:49You're right, Dagwood.
01:10:51Nothing matters but the five of us.
01:10:53Blondie!
01:10:57I mean the ten of us.
