Note: This is actually a re-release version from the 1940’s which was cut down to remove Pre-Code sequences which were no longer permitted by the censors. The original version seems to have been lost as well as the original color sequence. The original version was apparently tossed away after this edited version was made as it had become illegal to exhibit due to its Pre-Code content.
