Poor old Dagwood manages to gum things up when he falls for a confidence scam engineered by the duplicitous Toby Clifton (Adele Jergens). He even finds himself in a compromising position that seriously endangers his future connubial happiness with wife Blondie (Penny Singleton). Once again, it’s up to Blondie to straighten out the mess. Mr. Dithers is played by an uncredited Edward Earle, who is seen only from the back; Earle’s voice is dubbed over with an old recording of Jonathan Hale, the series’ original Dithers.

Fired for messing up an important contract, Dagwood (Arthur Lake) takes a job as a manual laborer for a construction firm.

The upshot of all this is that Dagwood ends up in a lunatic asylum, forcing Blondie (Penny Singleton) to come to the rescue. Number 18 in the long running Blondie series. Blondie Knows Best was writer/director Edward Bernds’ first entry in the long-running “Blondie” series, and arguably his funniest. Bernds was a big fan of comedian Shemp Howard (whom he’d directed in several Columbia 2-reelers) and accordingly he gives Shemp free reign in his scenes, resulting in some hystericially funny moments. Blondie Knows Best represented Jonathan Hale’s farewell to the series; in the next entry, Blondie’s Big Moment, he would be replaced by Jerome Cowan as Mr. Radcliffe
