Storyline

Flash used to be a talented baseball player but he took to drinking and now he sells stolen watches in the streets. One day he meets Chu Chu who, before falling into alcoholism like him, was a successful entertainer. Now she still dances but in the streets for no more than a cent or two. Luck seems to smile at them the day they find stolen government documents forgotten some place. They decide to return them to their legal owners but instead of the expected reward money all the retribution they get is a whole lot of trouble. Written by Guy Bellinger

Trivia

This was the first 20th Century Fox-produced movie to use the 3rd type "20th Century Fox" company logo (used from 1981 to 1994), with the round/straightened "0". This was designed by veteran Pacific Title artist Rocky Longo, who also designed the previous Fox logo (the 2nd type with the slanted "0", used from 1953-1981). See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Emily is dancing on the street dressed as Carmen Miranda, she's sometimes completely in the shadow of the building and sometimes in the sun. See more »
