Okay, Chief

The film follows Bradshaw, an Englishman embroiled in a murder investigation concerning booze racketeer Buck Cooly. After being arrested in New York, Bradshaw claims he acted in self-defense but is tight-lipped about the woman who could confirm his alibi. The police chief, Galvin, persistently seeks to uncover her identity, leading to unexpected developments.

As a parody of police procedures, Okay, Chief utilizes elements of blackface, making it a product of its time. While it may not align with contemporary sensibilities, its historical context provides insight into early 20th-century filmmaking. This short film, produced by British International Pictures, showcases a unique blend of humor and crime that can interest collectors of vintage cinema and those studying the evolution of film genres.
