Obusku z pytle ven! (1955)

This film documents the consequences of fib. Tony is followed down the street by a dog. To impress his pals, Tony claims that the dog is his. When the pooch goes back to its original owner, a little girl, two of Tony's well-meaning friends kidnap the pet and “return” it to Tony. The boys then run into trouble with teachers, cops, the girl’s friends, and their own consciences.
