Synopsis | In the intervening years, Beamer's mob has changed, as the boys have grown weaker and the lady has put on a few pounds. They jump into a beat-up convertible only to discover that Funnyman is their chauffeur, and the Screwball Scrapper takes them on a wild ride into an elevator entrance of an old building. After many unsuccessful attempts to dispose of their driver, the gang is apprehended with a crate of the Mafoosky jewels in their possession, and a jealous Sgt. Harrigan kicks Funnyman in his steel-plated rear. |
