Okay, so Blondie and Dagwood are going to go on vacation, but Dagwood's co-worker Ollie keeps messing up the plans for a building contract, so Dagwood keeps having to postpone his vacation to fix them. Mr. Radcliffe decides that he can't postpone it any longer, but still needs Dagwood's help to fix the plans, so he tells Ollie to break into the Bumsteads' house and steal their luggage so they can't leave, and they don't. Daisy bites Ollie and gets thrown in the pound.
Meanwhile, there's a counterfeit ring across town, and Blondie has her handbag stolen by one of them at the store. So, they break into their house later, as Ollie is breaking back in to put the luggage back now that the building contract has gone through. Dagwood thinks that Ollie was there to catch the thieves, but Blondie finds out that it was Ollie that broke in in the first place. She tells him to go to the pound to release Daisy, as well as to get Mr. Radcliffe to let them leave for vacation immediately. She doesn't tell Dagwood any of this though. That's "Blondie's Secret."
Wow. You know, it's only these movies that can make a convoluted plot with so much potential for intrigue and comedy into something so dull and uninteresting. I continue to be shocked that they made 27 of these and the quality remained pretty much the same throughout.
