Both Of Them Heroes
boblipton24 March 2020
Detective Darwin Karr is hunting Lee Beggs, who has been passing counterfeit money. The heroic dope is captured bye bad guys, who toe him to a saw table, while the great blade draws nearer and nearer. Now, who do you imagines saves him, racking him in a straight line despite Karr's meandering course? I think you can guess.

It's a variation of the big gag in the hit melodrama BLUE JEANS , immortalized in cartoons where Mighty Mouse (for example) saves Pearl Pureheart from Oilcan Harry. In the original, it's the heroine who saves the boy. That happens here too, although the slobbering mountain dog in this variation is a lot hairier than a meller heroine.
