Connie Lee, who either wrote or co-wrote the bulk of the series episodes, had to eventually put together a story about Daisy, the Bumstead's smart dog, who we all loved. The big secret about Daisy is she even "talked" or muttered at times, making her one special addition to the family, almost like a real person.
Daisy, who was about one year old when the series began, was all grown up now and it was high time to get her into an adventure of her own. Accordingly, Daisy becomes an overnight star, thanks to her picture on the cover of a magazine, the poster dog for Daisy Soap? That's great news, except when she's spotted by Hazel, the pretty gal friend of a gangster (well played by Veda Ann Borg), who wants Daisy all to herself.
Daisy is DOG napped! A real wacky story that also finds Dagwood in the limelight, landing the job of a model for bathing suits? Actually, he doesn't look too bad. Arthur Lake had a fairly good build to model swim trunks.
Watch for the wild scene with Dagwood, Mr. Dithers and Cookie (played by cute Marjorie Kent). As usual, Dithers goes nuts.
Aside from popular character actress Veda Ann Borg, look for veteran actor Ernest Treux as eccentric businessman Theodore Glassby and favorite movie bad guy Marc Lawrence. Any film with Lawrence in it is always a treat.
A nice salute to Daisy, whose real name was Spooks "Daisy" Renfro. Spooks was given the name because she was always afraid, or looked afraid. She was owned by Ronnie Renfro, famous dog trainer, who owned about 100 other dogs. Spooks was trained by the famous animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax and appeared in over 50 films, including such classics as NATIONAL VELVET. Spooks was born in 1937 and lived to the ripe age of 18, passing in 1955. She was cremated by Mr. Renfro, who probably kept her ashes.
A mini classic, one of the best episodes with a very good script. Thanks much to MOVIES Net for running this gem on Saturday mornings. Also sold separately on dvd.
