Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Ted (Bud Abbott) and Tommy (Lou Costello) are a couple of window washers who accidentally get mixed up with criminals.
Kitty Cameo: In the opening scene of the film Tommy has a toothache and comes up with an elaborate way to pull his tooth. He ties a piece of string to the tooth and the other end to a dog. He also ties a string to a crate holding a Siamese cat.
Tommy sits some distance away and pulls on the one string, lifting the crate up so the cat runs out. The dog chases the cat, of course, but the tooth doesn’t give and Tommy ends up running all over the yard being pulled by the dog.
The plan doesn’t work and Tommy just gets slammed around for his trouble.
Final Mewsings: Cats usually charge reasonable dental fees.
Many thanks to Ted Davis for spotting this cat for us!
