Gianni e Pinotto detectives

Gianni e Pinotto detectives (1942)

CommediaMistero

Gianni e Pinotto, autori di soggetti comico-polizieschi, desiderano richiamare su di sé l'attenzione del col. Andrews, direttore della radio. Alla prima di una trasmissione importante, s'introducono abusivamente nell'uditorio. Durante la trasmissione il col. Andrews muore improvvisamente, colpito da una scarica elettrica. E' assodato che si tratta di un delitto, ma chi ne è l'autore? Gianni e Pinotto si fanno credere detective, incaricati delle indagini, dando così origine ad una serie di comiche avventure. Poliziotti autentici prendono Gianni e Pinotto per gli assassini e li costringono a fuggire. Intanto viene estratta una lotteria radiofonica e ne risulta vincitore Pinotto. Egli deve però presentarsi nell'auditorio entro mezz'ora, perché diversamente il premio è perduto. I due, incuranti dei poliziotti, si presentano durante la trasmissione e col loro intervento permettono di scoprire gli assassini. Così, oltre al premio, avranno la fama cui aspiravano, di uomini del mistero.

Direttore: Erle C. Kenton
