Careful Harry
by William McCleery

While the family of the girl he loves seems to be in danger, Careful Harry hurls caution to the winds.

Borrowing a costume from the would-be starlet next door, Harry masquerades as a gangster's moll to break up a conference between his girl's father and the hot-tempered radio tycoon from New York who would lure Father back to his old job as the writer of a weepy soap opera.

Not only is the conference interrupted, but guns are drawn, a dignified neighbor is mistaken for a gangster, police are called, and after a wild chase Father's ex-boss is dragged off to the local jail.

Father and Harry engage in sizzling debate, which inspires Mother to take a stand, whereupon Father and Mother tangle.

But the battle that really sets the window-panes to rattling is between Father and his dictatorial ex-boss.

When the smoke lifts we find the affectionate Bonfield family reunited on a better basis than ever.

Father gives Harry due credit - plus an overdue bawling out.

One taste of action hasn't cured Harry, but there seems to be hope for improvement.
