Clancy in Wall Street is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film.[1] It stars Charles Murray, who had made a number of films for Edward Small.

It was also known as Clancy Caught Short and was described as the first comedy about the stock market crash.[2] It was the last film for director Ted Wilde, who had died in December of the previous year.

Plot

Plumber Michael Clancy, fixing up some pipe on the stock exchange, accidentally buys some stock and makes a quick $200 on a 20 percent margin. He wants to continue but his partner, Andy MacIntosh, refuses to get involved. Clancy makes a fortune, leaves his business, and crashes high society, ignoring his old friend, and urging his daughter, Katie, to reject MacIntosh's son in favor of Freddie Saunders. Then the stock market crashes.[3]
