Square Crooks (1928)

Two former crooks, Eddie Ellison and Larry Scott, who have decided that they want to go straight, take a variety of jobs but always have to leave when their nemesis, Detective Harry Welch finds them. Two days after they are forced to quit their most recent jobs, as chauffeurs to the wealthy Carson family, a pearl necklace is discovered to be missing, Welch assumes that the two are responsible for the crime. Eddie, who is married to Kay, a fiery-tempered hotel telephone operator, tries to keep the fact that he has lost another job from her. Eventually, Eddie and Larry are exonerated after an old cohort of theirs is revealed to be the culprit.
