with William Bendix as Riley. Through the years, the friendship of Chester A. Riley and Jim Gillis has bloomed and ripened. It has survived every test of time and circumstance. But now Riley and Gillis are about to embark on a mutual undertaking, so perilous, so fraught with hidden danger, that no friendship could be expected to bear up under the strain.

They're chipping in to buy a car together. Riley, you're not actually going through with this crazy scheme, crazy scheme. We paid our door and we pick up the car tomorrow. What's crazy about it? Oh, you wouldn't give us a beat each other's throats in no time.

Oh, no, not me and Jim. We've been pals since I was in the crater. Oh, sure. Sure. Why I remember every morning my mother was putting me out in my crater on the front porch and little Jim would come over and rock me. Yes, but he used real rocks.

Your mother told me all about it. You weren't born with that nose. No. That was only in the beginning. All these years we've been real pals and we're going to keep on being pals. Not if you get that car you won't.

No, don't worry. We set so there'd be no arguments. Neither one is going to use the car without the other one. Oh, that's fine. I guess you'll sit up all night to see that Gillis doesn't sneak off with it.
