Show Synopsis (Courtesy Pioneer Drama):
Young writer Steve Jenkins is home sick, so he’s working on a new story for a big-league writing contest. In his feverish condition, Lucky Hudson, Steve’s crime-busting hero, appears and takes Steve into the comic underworld of zany gangsters, night clubs, and back alleys. Full of oddball criminals such as Big Al, Little Al, and Medium Al, Ma Cribbs, Mad Dog Myrtle, Two Gun Tommy, Petty-Larceny Jane and more, Steve experiences thrilling hold-ups, a prison riot, and even his own sentencing to death row! The bad guys are planning the biggest caper in the history of gangland, and it’s up to Steve and Lucky to blow the whistle! This is a fun escape into the noir style with loads of laughs and gags.
