So You Think You're Not Guilty
Directed by Richard L. Bare
Produced by Richard L. Bare Productions, The Vitaphone Corporation
A lighthearted 1950s comedy short about a hapless everyman whose minor traffic violation spirals into absurd legal consequences through his own bumbling.
Joe McDoakes pleads "not guilty" to a traffic violation but is convicted anyway. Handling this setback in his usual manner, the two-dollar fine quickly pyramids to a 10-year jail sentence.
