Very enjoyable.

During the 1930s and 40s, MGM made a string of "Crime Does Not Pay" shorts--all of which illustrate excellent police work and serve to convince viewers that crooks ultimately WILL get caught. It's interesting, but these films usually showed a lot more realistic police procedures than the regular movies at the various studios (many full-length films portrayed the cops as idiots). In addition, they tell great stories that even when seen today are quite satisfying.

This story begins with the investigation of a traffic death. While the Sheriff readily believes that it was all an accident, the investigator thinks that MAYBE Old Lesh knows a lot more about this and that it was actually a cold-blooded murder! Well written, very entertaining and a nice case of smart police work. Worth seeing.

Anecdotes
Richard Carlson is the narrator for this 3rd entry in the 'Crime Does Not Pay' series of shorts that Warners ran in theatres (1935 - 1947). He would later become, arguably, one of the kings of the 1950's Sci-Fi B's, and he probably was best known for two of those 1950's classics - 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon' & 'It Came From Outer Space'.
