Never Steal Anything Small is a 1959 American CinemaScope comedy-drama musical film directed by Charles Lederer and starring James Cagney and Shirley Jones.

It is based on the play The Devil's Hornpipe by Maxwell Anderson and Rouben Mamoulian.

Jake Macllaney will do just about anything to win the presidential election of longshoreman union Local 26.

When he encounters young upright attorney Dan Cabot and Cabot's attractive wife Linda, Macllaney breaks up their marriage, pursues Linda, and pins a grand larceny rap on Dan.

Jones, who plays a happily married woman whom the labor leader wants to steal away, performs a lively musical number, spoofing television commercials.
