Hold 'Em Jail

Hold 'Em Jail is a 1932 American pre-Code comedy film starring Wheeler and Woolsey.

Wheeler and Woolsey are wise to the racket, but Kennedy has to treat them with kid gloves because his old maid sister (Oliver) is in love with one of them.

Rare for the duo, the film is a straight comedy with no musical numbers.

It is also noteworthy for giving Betty Grable her first substantial role after appearances as a Goldwyn Girl and in bit parts.

The title is a pun on the then-popular college football cheer, "Hold 'em, Yale."
