Two A.M.

Tom Howard is working as an assistant to George Shelton. Shelton is a burglar, and he seems pretty good at his job, but Howard keeps asking for instructions at the top of his lungs, asks the lady of the house they are robbing for the combination to her safe, and quizzes a cop who seems as clueless as he whether he expects them to walk eight blocks out of their way to the precinct house.

Howard never hit it big in the movies, but he had a good supporting role in RAIN OR SHINE, and a long streak of shorts, first for Paramount and then for Educational Pictures. Eventually he went into radio and did well there.
