Safe and Sane1924

A contest offering $500 to whoever can open a "burglar proof safe" attracts an unfair competitor in Andy (Jimmie Adams); he doesn't bother mentioning that he works for the safe company and has the secret combination. But Andy isn't the only one who's got some tricks up his sleeve. This Christie Comedy, featuring one of his favorite leading ladies, former Mack Sennett "Bathing Beauty" Vera Steadman, was directed by Harold Beaudine. Harold was a prolific director of comedy shorts throughout the 1920s but he was a slouch compared to brother William "One-Shot" Beaudine, perhaps Hollywood's all-time most prolific director of movies and television episodes. - Dennis Harvey
