Just caught this short on TCM, and found it to be quite a charming tale of a family of counterfeiters. Based on a true story, the short is dramatically photographed, swiftly plotted, and uses the pleasant talents of Leon Ames (who effectively and amusingly played Judy Garland's irascible yet loving father in Meet Me In St. Louis). The scene in which the entire family (including the youngsters) is engaged in learning to produce fake bills is quite interesting, and there are several other elements in this short film (including the "Yawning Detective," and the manner in which Mr. Nordill eventually slips up) which add up to a nice way to spend a very short period of time. Superior of its type, I think.
