Fourth of 48 MGM "Crime Does Not Pay" shorts released from 1935 to 1947.
Crime Does Not Pay was a series of M-G-M shorts films, often produced with cooperation from law enforcement, ostensibly made to warn movie goers about "the wages of sin," and how to avoid them in their own personal lives.Their often preachy tone always pleased the MPAA and guaranteed them wide distribution by theatre owners seeking *morally uplifting" material to show between features on double bills.
