La prima notte in tre (1941)
Il film è una divertente satira delle pellicole poliziesche: racconta di un giovane, conduttore alla radio di una trasmissione sui delitti perfetti, che viene rapito da una banda di malfattori. Dovrà escogitare per loro il modo di uccidere una persona. Il protagonista rifiuta e, quando anche la sua fidanzata e un'amica vengono rapite, tenta di fuggire con loro. La polizia li salva appena in tempo.
