Hold 'Em Jail

Genre: Comedy Sport
Premiere: 1932
Country: USA

Hold 'Em Jail is a 1932 American pre-Code comedy film starring Wheeler and Woolsey as a couple of inept characters who are wrongfully convicted of firearm possession. They are sent to prison, where they somehow end up playing on the warden's football team.

Warden Edgar Kennedy frames innocent people and blackmails them into playing on his football team in exchange for promises of eventual exoneration.

Wheeler and Woolsey are aware of the racket, but Kennedy treads lightly with them because his spinster sister (Oliver) is in love with one of them.

Unusually for the duo, the film is a straight comedy without 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."
