You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939)
Directed by Edward F. Cline, George Marshall
Overview
Fields plays “Larsen E. Whipsnade”, the owner of a shady carnival that is constantly on the run from the law. Whipsnade is struggling to keep a step ahead of foreclosure, and clearly not paying his performers, including Bergen and McCarthy, who try to coax money out of him, or in McCarthy’s case, steal some outright.
