    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In order to fit it into a one hour format (52 minutes of film, 8 minutes of commercials) Hollywood Service Television editors slashed out the first two reels. The resultant film (re-titled "Unforgotten Crime") was thereby incomprehensible, and, sadly, seems to be the only version which has since survived.
    • Quotes
      • Mike Jason: See if you can pick up Pinky, the gardener. Trail him, see where he goes.
      • Mousey: Okay, Boss.
      • Mike Jason: And Mousey, tell Uncle Bells I won't be out to play--Mama's here. Hey-heh.
    • Alternate versions
      "Unforgotten Crime" is a TV version with the first two reels cut out.
