rdfs:comment | - The Mumbles Quartet was a musical act that used their performances as a means to gain access to wealthy people and rob them. The criminal Mumbles was the mastermind and he accompanied the group on guitar. The other three members sang harmony. Their repertoire consisted of standards, love songs, and novelty songs. They were considered to be quite good, but Mumbles was not satisfied with the prospect of earning an honest living and insisted on committing robberies as well.

abstract | - The Mumbles Quartet was a musical act that used their performances as a means to gain access to wealthy people and rob them. The criminal Mumbles was the mastermind and he accompanied the group on guitar. The other three members sang harmony. Their repertoire consisted of standards, love songs, and novelty songs. They were considered to be quite good, but Mumbles was not satisfied with the prospect of earning an honest living and insisted on committing robberies as well. The three other members of Mumbles Quartet watched as Mumbles killed Officer Ferris while leaving the city in a car they had "borrowed" from Kiss Andtel, a singer and paramour of Mumbles. Dick Tracy was unable to gather enough evidence to charge them in the death, but the other members of the Quartet used this as leverage to get Mumbles to divide their stolen take equally (rather than Mumbles taking the bulk of it). After another successful robbery, the Quartet abducted Kiss Andtel and smuggled her onto an ocean liner. The Quartet celebrated with musical and liquor, unaware that Mumbles planned to betray them by setting off a bomb on the boat and escaping with their stolen money. The three member of the Quartet and Kiss Andtel were saved by Dick Tracy. Mumbles was presumed lost at sea and the Quartet members faced robbery charges.
