A clip of a chase scene taken from the feature film The Bank Dick (1940). Two bank robbers get their car towed while holding up a bank. They run off and squabble with each other over their shares of the loot. Eventually they run into W.C. Fields who unwittingly captures one of the men and is made a bank security guard. The original robber's partner comes back to rob the same bank and takes Fields as a hostage on his second getaway, which turns into quite the wild ride.
