More Mayhem, part 5
Cop Broderick Crawford nearly gets gipped on a little diamond ring. He doesn't, but a murder just down the block, and a crafty escaped murderer, means he's suspended without pay (which really means he's going undercover). Roughhousing down at the docks. Liquor is served, while down the street it's more murder. Wisecracks. ("Be careful." "Yeah, sure. I'll carry real bullets in my gun.") Kidnapping of the object of the little diamond ring. Disguises. Marriage?
Family political squabbles. Riot induction (blacks). World domination (real!). Seduction by schoolteachers. Father-son fallings-out. Loneliness. Riot induction (Jews). "I can't take it anymore!" "We need you to stick with this." Together: "He's quite a guy." The trial that sets them free. Plus:one roundhouse punch in the jaw for the scumbags.
Bank Robbery as the credits rise. Another security guard makes a desperate plunge and gets it casually, on the way out the door. Moll Kim Novak seduced by Fred MacMurray. Fred MacMurray and his cop buddies watch Novak through the blinds. Straying buddy eyes to the nurse next door. Secret rendevous: real love, real money. Bank robber snuffs it. Cop buddy snuffs it. The spiral. At the bottom: Fred MacMurray. Novak gives him a peck on the cheek and gets stuffed into a squad car.
