There He Goes
About There He Goes
Harry loves the daughter of an estate executor the crooks have already threatened. He wanders into the house, opens the safe by accident, and a bag of money drops out. Police who are after the gang chase him across town. The crooks, with Vernon Dent as Jerry the Bull, turn up at Harry's place and start dividing the cash. He gets the better of them as the cops arrive, and he ends with the girl.
