Barney Hellum is cleaning up on Wall Street if you count the windows. He's a window washer who brings in the business by scribbling on them. He takes Slim Summerville into partnership, but the business doesn't prosper when the ostrich swallows the bank roll.
It's based on Billy De Beck's popular and long-running comic strip. Like other Larry Darmour short comedies of this period, it mostly depended on its long-suffering cast to make things more interesting. Here, it turns into a thrill comedy, with Hellum and Summerville on a window-cleaner set-up stories above the street.
Although the strip is still being produced, Google is reduced in importance; the strip is now "Barney Google and Snuffy Smith." Smith has been the main character since 1954. In fact, for about fifteen years, Barney didn't appear at all.
