custer: (Capone)
Ah late night television on TCM

This was a one reel short from 1930, a 22 minute musical with a really thin plot about Satans assistant going up to recruit more people for Hell. Had a predictable corny plot, bad acting and a very poorly choreographed dance number.

What I found most interesting was Satan going over the list of the newly deceased, and seeing a name "from Chicago" and saying "oh no! we don't want him down here!" to which the assistant replied "Oh no, hes going above!"

Even Hollywood was afraid of Al Capone.
