The Morris, the Merrier



Cops hunt the once criminal Blackie,
And Runt, his diminutive lackey
With charades and disguises,
Blackie trades in surprises
Pulls stunts that are winning and wacky.



Chester Morris played Boston Blackie in a series of 14 films for Columbia. George E. Stone played his sidekick, the Runt in all but the first and last of the entries. Richard Lane was the long-suffering Inspector Farraday. Kent Taylor later played Blackie on TV. Title by terrier Donald Benson.
