Featured review
Lou Costello for City Councilman
In fighting over Hillary, Bud and Mike the Cop pretend to shoot one another, but shoot a hole through Mr. Fields' rug. Lou gets blamed and is forced to pay for the damage. Bud decides to not let Mr. Fields get away with it. He instructs Lou to throw a rock through his window and when Mr. Fields comes out, insult him until he beats Lou up. Bud will take a picture and they'll sue him for everything he's got. Comically, Bud has Lou repeat it, increasingly getting worked over worse, as Bud doesn't think it looks good enough for a picture. When Mike the Cop begins to haul Lou to jail for the offense, he is stopped by a city councilman (Charles Cane) who protects his voters as the election nears. Bud decides to have Lou run for office as a city councilman. Lou likes the idea of being over Mike the Cop and begins working on his speeches and pleasantries. While giving a speech in the park, Lou struggles to make a case for himself.
