Jackie Cooper plays Johnathan West, who is feels as if he is always second fiddle to Little Caesar, a ventriloquist’s dummy (who looks very much like Willie, the dummy from The Dummy in Season 3).
It seems they can’t get a job, and they can’t pay their bills. They can’t even eat. So Caesar talks Johnathan into robbing a deli down the street to pay the rent. Then he talks him into robbing the place where they are trying to get a job and the little girl who has an aunt where the two stay turns them in when she hears them talking after pulling the job.
In the end, West takes the fall and the dummy is left with the cash, hidden safely where no one can find it. But the little girl just knows the dummy can talk, and he’s all too eager to have a new partner.
