Above, film novice Charlie McCarthy blows his top. Below, vegetable peddler George Sakalis, a key witness in the Earle Kynette case, gets additional protection after complaining that he is being followed by private detectives ... The head of the VFW calls for assistance in the form of jobs or pensions for the "Lost Generation" of World War I ...  Dogs are under a state quarantine because of rabies ... And Harold "Bud" Marshall hopes to regain the use of his legs after being paralyzed when he was shot in the spine during a robbery.

Today we remember Edgar Bergen, but not John Stahl. If the reporter was accurate, Stahl was inept. A good director expresses what is wanted, a poor director just says 'No. Let's do it again."

And Charley is living comfortably at the Smithsonian, despite his profanity -- perhaps because of it.
