...finds her pining away for George "The Mug With a Good Heart" Raft, whom the FBI has sent away for an Alcatraz vacation. Love is present in the form of a quadrangle, but Joan stays loyal to her George; he shows his appreciation by letting himself be shot. Lloyd Nolan, menacing as every, tries to worm his way into Miss Bennett's heart, but gets only two Raft slugs for his efforts. And Walter Pidgeon, after years of being a tall and rugged forgotten man, gets the Indiana farm-girl on the first bounce. George Raft has been just...

The fare: 15? for adults, 10? for children. First night five busses were used, the second 13. Smart Fred Nolan prepared to throw into D.S.R.'s fresh-air cruises all the equipment that was needed...
