00:00:00THE END
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30The End
00:01:59There we go, right down the line up, on the fire, right, and there we go.
00:02:03Marshall.
00:02:04Now I'll tell you, Dice, where's my spell?
00:02:06Here we go.
00:02:07Put it into it for you.
00:02:08You see me two little deuces, babies?
00:02:09Little Jolt and Kokomo?
00:02:11Come on.
00:02:11Give him up.
00:02:12Dice.
00:02:13There it is.
00:02:14Train and ace.
00:02:14That's me, kiddies.
00:02:15Shoot two.
00:02:16Well, I'm cutting in for a penny.
00:02:17Hey, how do you get that way?
00:02:19This ain't you, Joey.
00:02:20Put it back.
00:02:20I'm living here with Molly, ain't I?
00:02:22So what?
00:02:24So I'm cutting in for every toy pass, get it?
00:02:27I don't get it and I don't like it.
00:02:29So hand over.
00:02:33Hey, you can't do that to my pass.
00:02:36Hey, who do you think you are?
00:02:45Hey!
00:02:46Hey!
00:02:46Hey!
00:02:46Get out!
00:02:47You weren't in the DA's office, Knuckles.
00:02:49I told you I don't want to talk to or see anybody.
00:02:51It's Pat O'Day.
00:02:52He's got news about your brother, Danny.
00:02:55Okay, I'll see, Pat.
00:02:57But if this is another one of your tricks to try and get me to talk, you're wasting your
00:03:01time.
00:03:01It isn't.
00:03:02Come on.
00:03:11How are you, Knuckles?
00:03:13He said you wanted to talk to me about Danny.
00:03:16Okay, Joe.
00:03:17Sit down.
00:03:22Start talking.
00:03:25Look.
00:03:27Who killed Wells?
00:03:28Lay off, will you, Pat?
00:03:30Even if I didn't bump that copper, I wouldn't squeal.
00:03:33Remember how me and Milo wake up still when you raided Tony's fruit stand?
00:03:37That was the stupid coat of a gang of kids.
00:03:40This is the electric chair.
00:03:41And it's our necks, isn't it?
00:03:42Then it was Milo way.
00:03:44You always did take his wraps.
00:03:45I didn't say that.
00:03:46Milo way is in California.
00:03:49Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:03:51And I also know you never packed a rod in your life.
00:03:53You're covering somebody and I've got to find out who.
00:03:56You know, scaring me is not going to do any good.
00:03:58I've been pushed around all my life.
00:04:00Besides, why aren't you satisfied you nabbed me?
00:04:02You got your promotion.
00:04:03And you got your headlines.
00:04:06Yeah, but what good do they do me?
00:04:07I'm in here under another name.
00:04:09And I like headlines.
00:04:10Sure.
00:04:11Any mug who thinks he's tough does.
00:04:14But what about your kid brother?
00:04:18Let him take care of himself.
00:04:20I had to.
00:04:21And look where you landed.
00:04:22How much does he know, Pat?
00:04:27He thinks you're in South America.
00:04:29He's with Molly.
00:04:31She can't keep him off the streets.
00:04:33You've got to help the kid, Pat.
00:04:35We can take care of him.
00:04:36You're the only one who can help him, Knuckles.
00:04:39Oh.
00:04:40Danny's smart.
00:04:42He knows you never had the nerve to shoot anybody.
00:04:44But if you burn as the fall guy, he'll turn against the law and take every kid in the neighborhood with him.
00:04:50We can't let that happen, Knuckles.
00:04:51Don't you see?
00:04:52You've got to tell me who did the killing.
00:04:54Cut it out, will you?
00:04:55You're a cop and you're working on me.
00:04:56But I ain't soft.
00:04:57And I ain't talking anymore, see?
00:04:58I ain't talking anymore.
00:05:00All right.
00:05:01It doesn't make any difference whether you talk or not.
00:05:03This thing is bigger than we are.
00:05:04It's bigger than the law.
00:05:05I'm going to crack this wide open and save you from the chair in spite of yourself.
00:05:09When the kid's on the street.
00:05:23Well?
00:05:24Molly, it looks like we're stymied.
00:05:26The governor says if he won't talk, he doesn't deserve sympathy.
00:05:31Pat, what can we do?
00:05:33I can't get to first base.
00:05:35The G-Men haven't a single lead on the counterfeiters yet.
00:05:39What about the people who saw the shooting?
00:05:41I've never seen so many blind witnesses.
00:05:43Not one of them noticed who was with Knuckles in the getaway.
00:05:47We can't keep Danny in the dark forever.
00:05:49Knuckles is in under a fictitious name.
00:05:51If he's electrocuted, it'll be all over the neighborhood.
00:05:54There'll be no keeping Danny from hating the law.
00:05:56Yeah, I know.
00:06:00I've got to find some way to convince him that it's easier and a whole lot more fun to play cops than it is robbers.
00:06:07That's it, Pat.
00:06:08Get them interested in something to keep them off the streets.
00:06:10Maybe you could form a club.
00:06:12They think clubs are for softies.
00:06:14Oh, but you could interest them in radio.
00:06:15You know all there is to know about it.
00:06:17I've tried that, too.
00:06:18Oh, some of the kids like it.
00:06:20Little Eric, the cripple, has got a two-way set.
00:06:22But not Danny's crowd.
00:06:23They're too worldly, too grown-up for such kid stuff.
00:06:27Don't rush me, boys.
00:06:28I'll be here all week.
00:06:29I'll fade him.
00:06:29I'll fade him.
00:06:30You got him last time, didn't you?
00:06:31Give me half, then.
00:06:32Half a cent.
00:06:33Shut up.
00:06:33Come on, come on.
00:06:34Hop on.
00:06:35Take any part of it.
00:06:36Come on, shoot.
00:06:36Come on, come on.
00:06:37Break it up.
00:06:37Break it up.
00:06:38Coppers, beat it!
00:06:42Mile away!
00:06:43Gee!
00:06:44Hey, hey, where you been?
00:06:45When did you get back?
00:06:46Hello, mile away.
00:06:48Boy, don't he look like ready money.
00:06:49Like that suit with it.
00:06:51I just put him from the coast.
00:06:53So you thought it was the law, huh?
00:06:54Maybe I better run you in.
00:06:57No, you didn't get them rags being a copper.
00:07:00You got angles.
00:07:01You tell him, kid.
00:07:03Maybe sometime I'll tell you about him.
00:07:05Molly home?
00:07:06Yeah.
00:07:07Now, won't she be glad I see you?
00:07:09Boy, are you shocked.
00:07:10Come on, look at that.
00:07:11But Molly, it takes money to start a club like that.
00:07:14Well, something's got to be done.
00:07:16The execution is less than a month away,
00:07:18and it doesn't look as though you're able to stop it.
00:07:20Hey, Molly!
00:07:21Molly!
00:07:23Hey, Molly!
00:07:24Molly, look who's here!
00:07:28A mile away.
00:07:30Well, well.
00:07:31How nice, Milton.
00:07:32Milton.
00:07:33Oh.
00:07:34I used to pull your hair for calling me that.
00:07:36I don't like mile away.
00:07:38Well, here's the new name.
00:07:40M. Franklin Harris.
00:07:42I got the Franklin off a hotel in Philly.
00:07:44New name, new suit.
00:07:49What's the racket this time?
00:07:50Now, aren't that just like a copper?
00:07:52A guy gets a new suit and right away he's in a racket.
00:07:54Don't you ever get tired of that dumb flatfoot hanging around?
00:07:56Oh, he's sort of like the furniture.
00:07:59I'll have to apologize for him.
00:08:01Now, I think you look nice.
00:08:03You don't look so bad yourself, baby.
00:08:05How about you and me stepping out sometime?
00:08:07I am nice.
00:08:08You'd better be nice, too.
00:08:10Remember, I had to chase you out of this neighborhood once.
00:08:12Oh, yeah, but that's all over now, Pat.
00:08:14From now on, I'm strictly legit.
00:08:17Huh?
00:08:18No kidding.
00:08:19Ever since I read about what happened to Knuckles...
00:08:21No, no, no, no.
00:08:21Let's sit down.
00:08:22Why don't you stand here all day?
00:08:24Here, Danny.
00:08:27Go buy yourself a cigar.
00:08:28Gee, thanks.
00:08:30Boy, I sure wish Knuckles was back in South America.
00:08:34Hey!
00:08:35You three had a gang just like Dutch Skinny and Meat, didn't you?
00:08:39Yeah, we had a gang.
00:08:41All right, come on, come on.
00:08:42Get out.
00:08:42Justine.
00:08:46Us guys are one of Milo A's angles.
00:08:48We're the smartest guy at a bunch.
00:08:50I bet he's got her older than to choke a horse.
00:08:52Whatever that is.
00:08:53Hey, dry up.
00:08:54He ain't never seen a horse.
00:08:56Shoot a dollar! Shoot a dollar!
00:08:57Oh, give me a dollar!
00:08:59What the fuck?
00:09:00Hey!
00:09:01Hey!
00:09:01Hey!
00:09:03On the level, Pat.
00:09:04I used to think you was an awful chump for taking the hard way.
00:09:07But since I see what the easy way got Knuckles, well,
00:09:10I'm beginning to get smart.
00:09:11I'm so glad to hear you talk like that, Milton.
00:09:15Our biggest worry is how Danny will take it when he hears about Knuckles.
00:09:19Pat and I were just trying to plan a figure some way of...
00:09:22Maybe I can help.
00:09:23What's the gag?
00:09:24Well, I thought maybe a boys' club.
00:09:26Turn up, Hardy.
00:09:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:09:28I'm coming!
00:09:29I what to do!
00:09:29Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:09:29I love you, sonny!
00:09:30Hey!
00:09:30Help!
00:09:30I love you.
00:09:31Get in there.
00:09:33Oh, want this dirty...
00:09:35Hey, I want your old abuse.
00:09:36Hang in, guys.
00:09:38You think you ruin a forest?
00:09:39Not sure, you win.
00:09:43Hey, pic.
00:09:45Well, you really need it.
00:09:46That's fine.
00:09:47Let we go.
00:09:49Come on!
00:09:49Jebby.
00:09:49Come on!
00:09:50You run it, Tony!
00:09:51For sure that time, Tony, we're going to pay all the time.
00:09:53Just to my luck.
00:10:02That's no good, Molly.
00:10:03Oh, if we had plenty of money to equip a real gym
00:10:06with boxing gloves and basketballs, they might go for it.
00:10:10You're right. The kids won't go for an empty room.
00:10:13Use your head.
00:10:14There are a lot of civic-minded saps uptown
00:10:16who are always donating something or other.
00:10:18They'll be glad to throw in with you.
00:10:19Pat, that's a splendid idea.
00:10:21Yes, it does have possibilities.
00:10:24I know a lot of businessmen uptown who might be interested at that.
00:10:28Sure you do.
00:10:29You can count on me for a pair of mitts.
00:10:31I might even drop around sometime and see if you can still lick me.
00:10:34Anytime.
00:10:36You know, my, the way you always were full of clever ideas,
00:10:40it's too bad you didn't keep your schemes on the level.
00:10:42Oh, Pat, leave him alone.
00:10:44I think he's wonderful.
00:10:46Hey, you're supposed to say that about me.
00:10:49Yeah?
00:10:50Molly used to go for me in a big way.
00:10:53Remember?
00:10:53Well, let's keep talking about the club.
00:10:55I want to get started on it right away.
00:10:57Rowing machine, James McMasters.
00:10:59Boxing gloves, George Morris.
00:11:01Kitchen utensils, Mrs. Mary Borden.
00:11:03Shower bath, Leon Miller.
00:11:06You're doing a fine piece of work, Pat.
00:11:08I know the boys are going to help you all they can.
00:11:11I know.
00:11:12I was brought up in that neighborhood.
00:11:14Thanks, Captain.
00:11:15And what about the badges?
00:11:16The commissioner's sorry that he can't give it as official sanction.
00:11:22But he did suggest that you design a badge of your own with the inscription, Junior Police.
00:11:28Thanks, Captain.
00:11:29I'll get on it right away.
00:11:33Have you got any leads on those counterfeiters yet?
00:11:36No.
00:11:37They're pretty smart operators, Pat.
00:11:39By the way, they haven't passed a bill in your neighborhood yet.
00:11:43You might keep an eye out for anything that shows up.
00:11:45Don't worry.
00:11:46I will.
00:11:46Now, you don't know how to break in a boxcar.
00:11:50Who told you?
00:11:51Mylowy showed me how to break the lock.
00:11:53That's how he got started.
00:11:55We ain't going to break in any boxcar.
00:11:57You want to be like Mylowy, don't you?
00:11:59I don't want to go to reform school like he did.
00:12:02We're going after the big stuff like he's doing now.
00:12:05Yeah?
00:12:06Maybe we'll do it without you.
00:12:07Maybe he ain't got the moxie.
00:12:11Maybe he ain't got the nerve to break in a boxcar.
00:12:28Listen.
00:12:29I'm running this gang, and you're going to do anything without me.
00:12:32Get it?
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:35Okay.
00:12:37Here, you wits!
00:12:51Come out of there!
00:12:52Well, we can't make no dough sitting around here.
00:12:54I'll say we can't.
00:12:55Here comes old man Wilkes.
00:12:56I warned you about breaking the law.
00:12:58You'll answer to the police for this.
00:13:00Hello, Pat.
00:13:16All right, you kids.
00:13:17Now beat it.
00:13:18What kind of a boat is it?
00:13:28I've been to the zoo.
00:13:30I can't see none there.
00:13:30Well, maybe somebody invented it.
00:13:33Maybe something new.
00:13:34Ah, you dope.
00:13:35They only invent things you can sell.
00:13:37You couldn't sell that.
00:13:39You couldn't give it away.
00:13:43Good morning.
00:13:44Good morning.
00:13:45Good morning.
00:13:47Good morning.
00:13:48Good morning.
00:13:49Good morning.
00:13:49Come on.
00:13:52Let's drag it out.
00:13:53Wait.
00:13:54Ah, maybe it'll come if you call it.
00:13:56Here, Percy.
00:13:57Here, Percy.
00:13:59Here, Percy.
00:14:00Here, Percy.
00:14:02Here, Percy.
00:14:02Here, Percy.
00:14:02Now, Dutch?
00:14:13Yeah, now!
00:14:20You dumb ox.
00:14:23You want to join our gang?
00:14:25Make a man of you.
00:14:27I had the same kind of a gang.
00:14:30Only I had it beat into me that the hard way paid off better
00:14:32than the easy.
00:14:33Just what their parents should do.
00:14:36Most of them don't have time, or don't know,
00:14:39or don't realize until it's too late,
00:14:41until one of their kids has ended up in the death house,
00:14:43like one of my gang has now.
00:14:44Don't you see, Mr. Wilkes?
00:14:46They have no place else to go but the streets.
00:14:48I see.
00:14:49You merely want them to have some place
00:14:52to spend their idle time.
00:14:54Exactly.
00:14:55It's a deal.
00:14:56Thanks, Mr. Wilkes.
00:14:58See what you can do with the old warehouse in a year.
00:15:02You mean this one?
00:15:03Yes, sir.
00:15:04Let's tell the kids.
00:15:05Well, listen.
00:15:06Every guy in my gang's got to have a name,
00:15:08like that's Skinny and Pee-wee.
00:15:09And your name's the mouse.
00:15:11You mean you want me to be in...
00:15:13Well, I could be in your...
00:15:16The mouse.
00:15:19The mouse.
00:15:21Say, come to think of it,
00:15:22that's a rather nice name, isn't it?
00:15:24And Pat.
00:15:25Yes, sir?
00:15:26Well, say to his father.
00:15:27Come on, let's go tell him.
00:15:28Hey, what's the old man for?
00:15:30What's the matter with the girl?
00:15:31Father.
00:15:32Father.
00:15:34Don't raise your voice so.
00:15:36You know what your mother...
00:15:37I want you to meet the gang.
00:15:39I've been initiated.
00:15:40Gang, this is my father.
00:15:41I mean my old man.
00:15:43Hiya, puppy.
00:15:44Hi, fancy pants.
00:15:45I mean, pop.
00:15:45And from now on, call me the mouse.
00:15:48Not Algernon.
00:15:49All right.
00:15:58Watch out.
00:15:59Good job.
00:16:00Good job.
00:16:00Good job.
00:16:11How long did it take you?
00:16:14Oh, it took about four months
00:16:15to build this portable radio set,
00:16:17and it's a honey.
00:16:18Now listen.
00:16:20Okay, you rookie mouse.
00:16:22Call the meeting to order.
00:16:28All right.
00:16:29Now, if you fellas will find the...
00:16:31I'll pipe down your mugs
00:16:35and fall in for the meeting.
00:16:36I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
00:16:47and to the republic for which it stands,
00:16:51one nation, indivisible,
00:16:54with liberty and justice for all.
00:16:56It's wonderful, Pat, but...
00:17:05Daddy won't give it a tumble, huh?
00:17:08No, Pat.
00:17:08I talked to him.
00:17:09Sure you did, honey.
00:17:10Well, I'm going after him.
00:17:12Tell Algie to carry on for me, will you?
00:17:14Good luck.
00:17:14Oh, boy.
00:17:22Did you get a load of that?
00:17:25Forget it, Dutch.
00:17:27This is good enough for us.
00:17:28All right, all right.
00:17:30Catch, boo.
00:17:30You, you lopers.
00:17:38Hello, Tony.
00:17:39Hello, Pat.
00:17:40Oh, I want to congratulate you.
00:17:42You're sure doing a nice job with the boys.
00:17:45You know, keep them off the streets and everything.
00:17:47Thanks.
00:17:49Oh, but this bunch of here,
00:17:51they sure is tough.
00:17:53They're not tough, Tony.
00:17:55You just got to get them thinking right.
00:17:57Yeah, I've got a ball.
00:17:59Come on, come on.
00:18:00Come on, come on.
00:18:01Okay, hey, out there.
00:18:02Any second.
00:18:04Police!
00:18:05Teams!
00:18:05Police!
00:18:07Teams!
00:18:08Teams!
00:18:08Ha!
00:18:09Now I have you, you thief.
00:18:10Come on.
00:18:11Now, you thief.
00:18:12I got a peewee.
00:18:13I'll show you.
00:18:14I'll show you.
00:18:15Here, here, here.
00:18:16What's going on?
00:18:18It's him, Pat.
00:18:19He's loaning.
00:18:20Daddy didn't know.
00:18:21I mean, we just played ball, that's all.
00:18:23You thief, you steal from my car.
00:18:24I did not.
00:18:25No, it is.
00:18:26Bart Smith's lying.
00:18:27We don't want nothing to do with his old car.
00:18:28Shut up.
00:18:29Now, I saw it all, Mr. Smith.
00:18:31The kid was going after his ball.
00:18:33He didn't mean to break into your car.
00:18:34Nein.
00:18:35Nein.
00:18:36Teams, all of them.
00:18:38On this one, he winds up like his no-good brother is.
00:18:41Quiet.
00:18:44That's enough of that.
00:18:45So?
00:18:46Where are we that you beat up citizens?
00:18:49Nein, it is not so here.
00:18:51I'm sorry, Mr. Smith.
00:18:52No harm intended.
00:18:54No harm, is it?
00:18:55You stangle me.
00:18:56No harm, is it?
00:18:59He chokes me because I say you are going to the electric chair like your brother is.
00:19:04You're a liar.
00:19:07Tell him he's lying, Pat.
00:19:08Tell him not going to be in South America like you said he was.
00:19:11Look, Danny.
00:19:11Let's go home.
00:19:14Then he ain't in South America.
00:19:17Then Schmitter's right.
00:19:18Well, why didn't you tell me?
00:19:24Knuckles didn't do anything to die for.
00:19:26They'll let him finish him off.
00:19:27He didn't do anything.
00:19:28He couldn't.
00:19:28Danny, steady, Danny, steady.
00:19:30They're not going to give him the chair.
00:19:32We won't let him.
00:19:32We're going to get him out.
00:19:33I give you my word.
00:19:34Your word.
00:19:36You've been lying to me right along.
00:19:38You won't get him out.
00:19:40It's guys like you to put him in.
00:19:41You're a copper.
00:19:42I hate copper.
00:19:42I swear.
00:19:43Now, look, Danny.
00:19:44He was my pal.
00:19:45Like Dutch here is your pal.
00:19:47And I know he didn't shoot a copper.
00:19:48We're going to prove he didn't.
00:19:50You and me.
00:19:51You're going to help get him out.
00:19:53How?
00:19:54I've got a plan.
00:19:55Come on home and I'll tell you.
00:19:57I ought to choke you for this.
00:20:03Yeah.
00:20:04I am a taxpayer.
00:20:06And I am going to the commissioner.
00:20:08And then we see who gets choked.
00:20:12Pat.
00:20:13You know, I get my orders from higher ups.
00:20:16The commissioner is afraid,
00:20:18but this boy's club of future voters
00:20:20might try to run this district.
00:20:22That's crazy.
00:20:23You can't tell that to the commissioner.
00:20:25And a cop can't go around
00:20:27shoving people's faces.
00:20:28I didn't shove him in the face.
00:20:30I merely tried to stop him
00:20:31from telling Danny
00:20:32that Knuckles is in the death house.
00:20:34Now, look, Captain.
00:20:35I can't be broken now.
00:20:37How am I going to clear Knuckles
00:20:38if I'm tied down to a beat?
00:20:40There's nothing I can do about it, Pat.
00:20:43Schmidt wants to press charges again, Danny.
00:20:45So get on your uniform
00:20:46and bring him in.
00:20:47Press charges?
00:20:48I told you the kid
00:20:50was only chasing a tennis ball.
00:20:52Will you come to your senses, man?
00:20:53Yes, sir.
00:20:56That's better.
00:20:57Now get going.
00:21:00Report back here in uniform.
00:21:02All right.
00:21:02Yes, Mahoney?
00:21:08Davis and Banks just brought in
00:21:09a stolen car
00:21:10bearing a California license.
00:21:11Well?
00:21:12There was a counterfeit plate
00:21:13under a floorboard.
00:21:14What?
00:21:15A plate.
00:21:16A counterfeit plate
00:21:17for a five-dollar bill.
00:21:18Send it in.
00:21:19Yeah?
00:21:20Yeah?
00:21:21Your brains brought us
00:21:22to New York,
00:21:23but we're just as hot
00:21:24as the cops
00:21:24as we ever were.
00:21:25Get your brilliance
00:21:26working on that.
00:21:27I have.
00:21:31What do you think
00:21:31I brought this mug along for?
00:21:33The cops here
00:21:34don't know him from Adam.
00:21:36All he can do
00:21:37is talk big.
00:21:38Why he couldn't even
00:21:39give this stuff away.
00:21:41Besides,
00:21:42he's only cool
00:21:43till they see him
00:21:43with you once.
00:21:44That's just why
00:21:45we're scattering out.
00:21:46You're going uptown.
00:21:48He's moving into
00:21:48a classy place
00:21:49on the west side.
00:21:51So he can spend
00:21:52what little dough
00:21:52he's got left?
00:21:53We're going to have
00:21:54plenty of dough.
00:21:54I've got a plan.
00:21:56A knockout.
00:21:57Don't tell me.
00:21:58Let me guess.
00:21:59You're going out
00:22:00and polish off
00:22:00the first cover you see.
00:22:02I told you
00:22:03to lay off of that.
00:22:08Oh, it's you.
00:22:10Why ain't Whisper
00:22:11here with that plate?
00:22:12Well, I must have
00:22:14picked him up.
00:22:15And you'd better beat it.
00:22:17If the cops ever
00:22:18bust in here
00:22:19and find that press,
00:22:20it's curtains for me.
00:22:27They knocked over
00:22:28Martin's garage
00:22:28and got the car.
00:22:29Where were you?
00:22:30Why'd you come here?
00:22:32They didn't spot me
00:22:33mile away.
00:22:33I'm telling you.
00:22:34I even followed them
00:22:35to the precinct station.
00:22:36This matter has been
00:22:37misrepresented to me.
00:22:38I'm going to resign now.
00:22:41Sit down.
00:22:42I didn't bring you
00:22:43here to resign.
00:22:44Oh, don't be a fool
00:22:45my way.
00:22:45Let's get out of here
00:22:46and go to Florida.
00:22:47The season ain't open yet.
00:22:49I always took care
00:22:49of you, haven't I?
00:22:51Give me a chance
00:22:52to think.
00:22:52I'll figure a land
00:22:53to Florida in style.
00:22:56Well, the cop has
00:22:57finally got Danny.
00:22:59Guess that makes me
00:23:00leader of this gang.
00:23:02And this is what
00:23:02we're going to do.
00:23:04I got to hold him
00:23:04out of the way.
00:23:05We tap with him.
00:23:06Then we really go places.
00:23:07Right, Peewee?
00:23:08Sure, we'll be
00:23:09riding high
00:23:09and Daddy's in the jug.
00:23:11Ah, let him
00:23:11take care of himself.
00:23:12He ain't my worry.
00:23:13What do you ever
00:23:14do for me?
00:23:14Nothing.
00:23:15He's done plenty
00:23:15for all of us.
00:23:16Especially you.
00:23:17Say, how about
00:23:18the time he saved you
00:23:19from that reform school
00:23:20rap?
00:23:20Do you remember?
00:23:21Ah, that was nothing.
00:23:22I could have done it
00:23:23with one hand,
00:23:24with one hand.
00:23:25What's a reform school
00:23:26rap?
00:23:29You guys turn
00:23:30in salt or something?
00:23:33What's the matter
00:23:34with you guys anyway?
00:23:35Listen, Dutch.
00:23:36Danny's always been
00:23:36on the square with us.
00:23:38And if you were
00:23:38where he is,
00:23:39you know,
00:23:40he'd try to get you out.
00:23:52Well, what do you think
00:23:53we can do?
00:23:54Well, you always said
00:23:55that you were just
00:23:56as smart as Danny was.
00:23:57Yeah, go ahead
00:23:58and think up something.
00:23:59Yeah, why don't you
00:23:59use your old bean?
00:24:02If you've got one.
00:24:03I got it.
00:24:04Listen, guys.
00:24:06No, no, I said no!
00:24:09Please, Mr. Schmidt.
00:24:10We won't even
00:24:11come around no more.
00:24:12We joined a club
00:24:13and everything.
00:24:14Well, really, sir,
00:24:14you misunderstand Danny.
00:24:16All of you!
00:24:17Or you're going
00:24:18to jail with him!
00:24:19Hey, Marlowe!
00:24:20Hey, Marlowe!
00:24:21Hey, Marlowe!
00:24:23What's up, Dutch?
00:24:24They've thrown
00:24:25Danny in jail.
00:24:26Who has?
00:24:27Old Mayor Schmidt
00:24:28said Danny
00:24:29was stealing
00:24:29out of his car.
00:24:31And Pat came
00:24:31and got him.
00:24:32Why that no-good copper?
00:24:38Listen, kid,
00:24:38I'll fix it for you
00:24:39if you'll
00:24:40do a little favor
00:24:41for me.
00:24:42Sure.
00:24:43If you can spring
00:24:43Danny,
00:24:44I'll do anything.
00:24:45You know that,
00:24:45Marlowe.
00:24:46Yeah, but this is not easy.
00:24:47You can get caught.
00:24:49Uh, you think
00:24:50I'm going to get caught?
00:24:51Nah, you're a smart kid.
00:24:54You remember
00:24:54Slats, Kenny?
00:24:55That's totally sure.
00:24:57He ain't around no more.
00:24:58That's what the law thinks.
00:25:00He just pulled a job
00:25:01down the street
00:25:02and planted some evidence
00:25:02to make it look like
00:25:03I did it.
00:25:04The double-crosser.
00:25:05Yeah, and if I don't
00:25:06get the stuff back,
00:25:07I'm in for a stretch.
00:25:08Where is it?
00:25:08I'll get it.
00:25:10It's down
00:25:11at the precinct station.
00:25:13Gee.
00:25:15You think I have to
00:25:15swipe something
00:25:16right at a police station?
00:25:18What's the matter,
00:25:18you yelling?
00:25:19No.
00:25:21But how am I going to get it?
00:25:22It's a cinch, kid.
00:25:25I'll talk to Schmidt.
00:25:26We'll all go down
00:25:27to the station
00:25:27as witnesses.
00:25:29And if the stuff's still there,
00:25:30it'll be a flat package
00:25:31wrapped in brown paper.
00:25:33And what I want you to do
00:25:34is...
00:25:36I agree that it seems
00:25:39unjust, Molly.
00:25:41But if Schmidt wants
00:25:42to be technical,
00:25:43he can press a charge
00:25:44of false entry.
00:25:45What does that mean?
00:25:46Reform school,
00:25:47I'm afraid.
00:25:49And you told me
00:25:50the captain just wanted
00:25:50to lecture him.
00:25:52If I'd have known
00:25:52it was going to be like this,
00:25:53I'd have sent him away,
00:25:54hidden him or something.
00:25:56You explain it to her,
00:25:57Captain.
00:25:57I couldn't help it.
00:25:58I don't care.
00:25:59It isn't right
00:25:59to ruin the boy's life
00:26:00just because an old fool
00:26:02had a grudge
00:26:02against his brother.
00:26:03I'm just a precinct captain
00:26:05who takes and gives orders.
00:26:07Why don't you talk
00:26:08to Mr. Schmidt?
00:26:09Don't worry, I will.
00:26:10And plenty.
00:26:13Hello?
00:26:14A Mr. Schmidt, Captain.
00:26:15Some boys
00:26:16and a Mr. Harris with it.
00:26:17Send them in.
00:26:18Oh, wait.
00:26:20Uh, send Danny in, too.
00:26:29Well, hell, anyway,
00:26:30it fits better
00:26:31than that old suit.
00:26:32What are you doing here, Harris?
00:26:34Well, Captain,
00:26:35I guess I just remembered
00:26:36something my old pal
00:26:37Pat here forgot.
00:26:39I used to be a kid
00:26:39in that block myself.
00:26:41All Schmidt needed here
00:26:42was a little civil reasoning
00:26:43and a little bit of a dream.
00:26:51Oh, gee, Molly,
00:26:52it's swell of you
00:26:53to come down here.
00:26:55As I was saying, Captain,
00:26:56never mind, Harris.
00:26:57Let Schmidt speak for himself.
00:27:00Now, just what is the charge
00:27:02you've got again this boy?
00:27:04Him?
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:06Oh, no,
00:27:06you do not understand.
00:27:09He comes by my place
00:27:10and chase away the customers.
00:27:12And last time,
00:27:13a window was broken.
00:27:14And I think it is him.
00:27:15But I was wrong.
00:27:17This time,
00:27:18he jumps into my car.
00:27:19And I chase him.
00:27:21And I smack him good.
00:27:25That's enough charge for him.
00:27:26Then you mean
00:27:27the real no charge?
00:27:28No.
00:27:30The charge is for him.
00:27:33He pushes me in the face.
00:27:35He chokes me.
00:27:36He is not fit.
00:27:37You should make him
00:27:38to go from the police department.
00:27:40The mouse is in the middle.
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:44And now he comes
00:27:45by my place in uniform.
00:27:47Yes,
00:27:47and he'll continue to do so.
00:27:50Any action that has been
00:27:51brought against Officer O'Day
00:27:53is because he has
00:27:54exceeded his duties,
00:27:55not because of the demands
00:27:56of a private citizen.
00:27:57Officer O'Day,
00:28:00the next time you see
00:28:02him hitting a boy,
00:28:03remember a charge
00:28:03called assault and battery.
00:28:05Yes, sir.
00:28:07And the next time,
00:28:07be sure you don't
00:28:08change your mind.
00:28:09There's also a charge
00:28:10called false arrest.
00:28:11Yes, sir.
00:28:13Well, I guess that adjourns
00:28:14my little court for today.
00:28:17Danny?
00:28:20You may not always get off
00:28:21so easy.
00:28:23Don't worry, Cap.
00:28:24I won't give you
00:28:25any more trouble.
00:28:25I'll see that he doesn't.
00:28:27Oh, Pat.
00:28:35Come here.
00:28:42Pat, I want you to run
00:28:43this counterfeit $5 plate
00:28:44up the Treasury Department.
00:28:45It's the first tangible
00:28:46bit of evidence
00:28:47that we've gotten.
00:28:48So be careful.
00:28:51Don't worry.
00:28:52I'm hoping this means
00:28:53more to me and Danny
00:28:54than it does
00:28:54to the Treasury Department.
00:28:57Okay, Dutch.
00:28:59You go and do
00:29:00whatever you want to do.
00:29:01But I promised Molly
00:29:03I could down
00:29:03and give the club
00:29:04the once-over
00:29:04because Pat's trying
00:29:05to spring knuckles.
00:29:06Pat's spring knuckles.
00:29:08He couldn't even
00:29:09spring you.
00:29:11If anybody can
00:29:12spring knuckles,
00:29:13it's my little way.
00:29:13He's smart.
00:29:15And he's a lot of
00:29:16sitting in his angles.
00:29:17He told me so.
00:29:18Right, Peewee?
00:29:18Right.
00:29:20Well, maybe we can
00:29:22get them both
00:29:22to help then.
00:29:23But Pat's still a coper.
00:29:24They don't get guys
00:29:25out of jail.
00:29:25They stick them in.
00:29:27Listen,
00:29:28Knuckles was Pat's pal.
00:29:30And I'm going down
00:29:31to talk to him anyway.
00:29:35So long, guys.
00:29:36Station W-2-B-R-C
00:29:48calling Vassie Junior
00:29:49Police Club.
00:29:50W-2-A-C-X
00:29:51calling W-2-A-C-X.
00:29:54Vassie Junior
00:29:55Police Station.
00:29:56Hello, Eric.
00:29:57You're coming in fine.
00:29:57Must be that new aerial.
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:00And listen, Pat.
00:30:01I just heard
00:30:01Danny and Dutch
00:30:02talking about you
00:30:03and the club.
00:30:03They're coming over
00:30:04to see you now.
00:30:06Do you remember
00:30:07exactly what they said, Eric?
00:30:12Sure, here it is.
00:30:13I wrote it down.
00:30:14Ready?
00:30:15This is what they said.
00:30:16Okay, Dutch.
00:30:17Go on and do
00:30:18what you want to.
00:30:18But I promised Molly.
00:30:32Okay, let's get
00:30:33out of here fast.
00:30:36Here.
00:30:44Go a little easier
00:30:44on this, will you?
00:30:46Sure.
00:30:47We can't keep on
00:30:48living on this chicken feed.
00:30:50And those bills
00:30:50are getting so hot now
00:30:51they're tracing them
00:30:52the minute they hit a bank.
00:30:53That's just what
00:30:54I want them to do.
00:30:55If they hit enough banks
00:30:56at the same time
00:30:56it'll take the heat
00:30:57off of us
00:30:57till we can make
00:30:58one big haul
00:30:59and get out of this town.
00:31:00Yeah?
00:31:00How are you
00:31:02going to float
00:31:03so many?
00:31:03That's what I called
00:31:04you for.
00:31:06Now get this straight.
00:31:08The copper I know
00:31:09has a club for kids
00:31:10sponsored by a bunch
00:31:10of big businessmen.
00:31:12I've got the kids
00:31:13eating out of my hand
00:31:14but I can't go
00:31:14near the place
00:31:15because the copper
00:31:16thinks he's wise to me.
00:31:18But I've got an idea.
00:31:19What I want you to do
00:31:22Hey Pat
00:31:31we wanted to talk
00:31:32to you about something.
00:31:33Yeah I know.
00:31:35Dutch wants to work
00:31:35on one of Miloway's angles.
00:31:38He thinks clubs
00:31:38are for softies.
00:31:39Hey wait a minute
00:31:40I never said that.
00:31:42No?
00:31:44Then who said this?
00:31:46Pat Spring Knuckles?
00:31:48Well he couldn't even
00:31:49sprain you.
00:31:50If anybody can
00:31:51sprain Knuckles
00:31:51just a mile away
00:31:52he's already going
00:31:52to let us in
00:31:53on one of his angles
00:31:54he told me.
00:31:55Pat's still a copper.
00:31:56They don't get guys out
00:31:57they put them in.
00:31:59Hey.
00:32:00How'd you hear that?
00:32:02Oh just a little gadget
00:32:03we have
00:32:04that wouldn't interest
00:32:05big tough guys
00:32:06like you are.
00:32:07Well it would me.
00:32:08Hey how'd you do it
00:32:09will you show me?
00:32:11That's one of the things
00:32:12I've been trying to do.
00:32:13But Dutch is right.
00:32:15I'm only a copper.
00:32:16I can't sprain criminals.
00:32:18I just want to prove
00:32:19Knuckles innocent.
00:32:19Yeah even his lawyer
00:32:20couldn't do that.
00:32:22That's because his lawyer
00:32:23doesn't know what we know.
00:32:24Knuckles wouldn't tell him.
00:32:26Yeah?
00:32:27What?
00:32:28Knuckles never carried
00:32:29a gun in his life.
00:32:31Hey that's right.
00:32:33He said Rod carries
00:32:35with suckers.
00:32:37Well.
00:32:38Then he couldn't
00:32:38have killed that copper.
00:32:40Right.
00:32:40And it's up to us
00:32:41to find out who did.
00:32:47Officer Patrick O'Day here.
00:32:49Algie.
00:32:52Mike.
00:32:54Gee I never did like cops.
00:32:56My old man
00:32:57tried out for him
00:32:58and he was too short.
00:32:59Boy will he be short
00:32:59when he sees this.
00:33:01Look Dutch.
00:33:03They got our names
00:33:04on the back of him.
00:33:05Yeah.
00:33:06And he just felt
00:33:06mine right for once.
00:33:10Thanks Pat.
00:33:11I'm proud to be
00:33:11a policeman.
00:33:12Me too.
00:33:13Yeah this ain't so bad.
00:33:14A classy looking gentleman
00:33:15to see Officer Pat O'Day.
00:33:17Well show the classy
00:33:18looking gentleman in Pete.
00:33:20Now remember kids
00:33:21keep your eye
00:33:23on any stranger
00:33:24you see in the neighborhood
00:33:24and wherever you go
00:33:25watch out for those
00:33:26bills I described.
00:33:27Now beat it.
00:33:28Officer O'Day.
00:33:36Yes sir.
00:33:37I'm Robert Morrison.
00:33:38I've worked with boys
00:33:39for years.
00:33:40I've just heard of
00:33:41the wonderful things
00:33:41you're doing.
00:33:43I'd like to help.
00:33:44Won't you sit down?
00:33:48We're off to a
00:33:49pretty good start here
00:33:50but any assistance
00:33:51certainly would be welcome.
00:33:53Well I believe boys
00:33:54should be given
00:33:54some practical work.
00:33:56Where they can earn
00:33:57their own money
00:33:58and occupy their time
00:33:58constructively.
00:34:00Idleness makes the criminal.
00:34:02Well I agree with you
00:34:03but the way business
00:34:04has been lately
00:34:04there hasn't been
00:34:05much work of any kind.
00:34:06That's why I've come.
00:34:09Here.
00:34:09Take a look at this.
00:34:23Let's find.
00:34:24Direct advertising
00:34:25has always been my means
00:34:26of contributing
00:34:27to enterprising young men.
00:34:30Tomorrow morning
00:34:30I want those circulars
00:34:31delivered into the homes
00:34:32of 10,000 families
00:34:33in different sections
00:34:35of the city.
00:34:35And you want boys
00:34:36to do it?
00:34:37Honest boys
00:34:38who won't throw them away.
00:34:40I'll pay them well.
00:34:41Let's say
00:34:41one dollar
00:34:44for every three hundred.
00:34:45Hey, hey mister!
00:34:48I'll deliver them all
00:34:49for that kind of coin.
00:34:50Give me some too.
00:34:51Give me some.
00:34:51I'm awful fast to live earth.
00:34:53There'll be plenty
00:34:54for everybody
00:34:55and I don't want to hear
00:34:56of any of them
00:34:57being shoved down a sewer.
00:34:59Thank you, Mr. Morrison.
00:35:00That money will come in handy.
00:35:02And there'll be plenty
00:35:03to go out every week.
00:35:04Hey, be sure to give them to us.
00:35:05We're junior police.
00:35:06You can trust us.
00:35:07Me too.
00:35:07Vassie Junior Police Club.
00:35:12Yes, Captain.
00:35:13Right away.
00:35:14I'm just leaving.
00:35:15I got a rush call
00:35:16to the stations.
00:35:17That's perfectly all right.
00:35:19You run right along.
00:35:20I suppose I can discuss
00:35:21the business with the boys?
00:35:22Yes, sir.
00:35:23Just tell Danny
00:35:24when and where you want
00:35:25the letters picked up
00:35:26and he'll be on the job.
00:35:27Now remember, rookies,
00:35:28keep your eyes open.
00:35:29We'll be alright, Captain.
00:35:31You'll have to get started
00:35:32by 6 a.m.
00:35:33So you better pick up
00:35:33the circulars by 5.30.
00:35:35I'll write the address for you.
00:35:37That plate was for
00:35:40an almost perfect $5 bill.
00:35:42I looked at it
00:35:42just half an hour
00:35:43before you left.
00:35:44That may be.
00:35:45I didn't see it.
00:35:46But the package I took
00:35:47to the Federal Building
00:35:47never left my hands
00:35:49until it was delivered.
00:35:50Then how was it
00:35:50a $5 plate when it left here
00:35:52and a blank plate
00:35:53when they opened the package?
00:35:55Maybe the Depression got it.
00:35:56Losing valuable evidence
00:35:58is serious
00:35:58for a man
00:35:59who's just been demoted.
00:36:00Look, Captain.
00:36:01I'm proud to be a member
00:36:03of the force,
00:36:03in uniform or out.
00:36:05But if that plate
00:36:05was substituted,
00:36:06it was done either
00:36:07before I got it
00:36:08or after it was delivered.
00:36:09I didn't do it.
00:36:11That's all.
00:36:13You may go now.
00:36:15Yes, sir.
00:36:16Do you think he was
00:36:25burned up enough
00:36:25over his demotion
00:36:26to let his old mob
00:36:28get next to him?
00:36:30I didn't think so
00:36:31before now.
00:36:33There's something
00:36:34crazy going on.
00:36:39I thought I knew
00:36:40why he was so interested
00:36:41in that plate.
00:36:42Is this all I'm going to get?
00:36:45Yeah, I can use more, too.
00:36:46That's all you can handle.
00:36:47Get going.
00:36:48And remember,
00:36:48none of these in the sewers.
00:36:49I'm out of here.
00:37:19I don't know.
00:37:49Leave an address where you can be reached.
00:37:59Circulars.
00:38:02Mailboxes.
00:38:03They all tell the same story.
00:38:08It's funny, Joe.
00:38:10There's none of that stuff been passed in the 68th Precinct.
00:38:15You better get up there and keep your eye out on all those apartment house mailboxes.
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:19They're all out turning the whole town upside down for them phony fires the kids spread.
00:38:27Didn't I tell you they heated me off us?
00:38:29Magnificent, Harris.
00:38:30Now we can start floating the 20s.
00:38:32And we'll be looking for them.
00:38:33We'd better hurry up, though, where they will be.
00:38:35We're lambing out tonight with a real bankroll.
00:38:37So get going.
00:38:38We'll meet at Cornwall's at 4 o'clock.
00:38:40What do you want me to do?
00:38:43Go step that press.
00:38:45Then get upstairs and keep a lookout for them floaters of mine from the west side.
00:38:48Look, Joe, what's wrong?
00:38:55I didn't do nothing.
00:38:56It says I want to find out.
00:38:57Oh, Finn.
00:39:05Now where do you suppose that came from?
00:39:06Yeah, that's who we all want to know.
00:39:08Well, listen.
00:39:08You can tell the captain.
00:39:09Come along.
00:39:10I didn't have nothing to do with that.
00:39:11Gee, you coppers don't even give a guy a chance to make an honest living.
00:39:14What's the trouble, Skinny?
00:39:16Well, I was working delivering those letters.
00:39:18I didn't know there was any hot dough in them.
00:39:20Working?
00:39:20That's fine.
00:39:22Who are you working for?
00:39:23A fellow by the name of Morrison.
00:39:24He gave the letters to Pat, and Pat gave the rest of the kids at the club.
00:39:27You can ask him.
00:39:34He's a good kid, Joe.
00:39:35Let him go.
00:39:37Okay, kid.
00:39:37Beat it.
00:39:39Thanks.
00:39:42Well, Captain?
00:39:44You were right, Joe.
00:39:47I had to be shown that a man could sink so low that he'd make criminals out of kids he's pretending to help.
00:39:53But he won't do it while I'm around.
00:39:56Follow Skinny.
00:39:57He may be going to pick up some more of that stuff.
00:40:00And by the way, pick up the trailer of any of Pat's kids, you see.
00:40:05Right.
00:40:14It's one o'clock.
00:40:31I got to get back on the beat.
00:40:32Thanks for the swell lunch.
00:40:33I'll have you over at my house for a snack sometime.
00:40:36Snack?
00:40:36You don't sound so easy to please.
00:40:38Well, anyway, I promise not to cry my woes on your shoulder like I have today after we're married.
00:40:42Mmm.
00:40:43Is this a proposal?
00:40:44It is not.
00:40:46Cad?
00:40:46Beat?
00:40:47Someday I'll make you eat those words, gal.
00:40:50After all this mess is cleared up and I'm back on my regular pay.
00:40:53I hope.
00:40:54Oh, Pat, don't worry about it.
00:40:56Captain is bound to learn about his mistakes.
00:40:58He doesn't make mistakes like that.
00:41:00Either that plate was substituted before we got there or while we were there.
00:41:05Molly, try and recall exactly what happened in the office.
00:41:13Well, Danny was alongside of me all the time.
00:41:16Dutch and Skinny could have taken the plate and are afraid to return it.
00:41:19But you suspect Miloway.
00:41:21If he took it, he's mixed up with a gang of counterfeiters.
00:41:24And Knuckles is covering him as he always has.
00:41:26But Miloway was in California when Knuckles was arrested.
00:41:29That's what he says.
00:41:34They met me, Pat.
00:41:39What?
00:41:39Well, as soon as the captain let me go, I got it as fast as I could.
00:41:41I think they're after you.
00:41:42They're after me?
00:41:43What are you talking about?
00:41:44What do you mean?
00:41:44Well, you didn't tell me there was a phony fit in those letters.
00:41:46So I told him I got it from you.
00:41:48And now they're all over town.
00:41:50What does he mean?
00:41:51He means that I'm in a jam for delivering counterfeit $5 bills all over town.
00:41:56Now I know it was Miloway who stole that plate.
00:41:58No one but he could think of a dirty trick like this to play on a bunch of innocent kids.
00:42:01But why would he give the counterfeit away?
00:42:02That's what I've got to find out.
00:42:04Look, Skinny, this is our chance to help Knuckles.
00:42:06You've got to tell me the truth.
00:42:07Why did Miloway come with you to the station?
00:42:09Well, he wasn't a pawn shop.
00:42:11Then he come out and bought Schmidt out for pinching Danny.
00:42:14Then he whispered something to him.
00:42:16He whispered?
00:42:18Yeah.
00:42:19He whispered he could use you kids.
00:42:22That means that Schmidt and Miloway are working together.
00:42:25And Morrison, too.
00:42:26But I don't get it.
00:42:27What's it all about?
00:42:28So you see, I'm the one that's hot now.
00:42:35And it's up to you kids to cover me up for a while.
00:42:37Well, I'll do anything to get that Miloway now.
00:42:39Okay.
00:42:40Go to Eric's and keep broadcasting anything you hear.
00:42:42I'll pick it up some way.
00:42:43Just be careful what you say over the air.
00:42:45Okay.
00:42:46But aren't you going to wait and explain to the captain?
00:42:48And let Miloway lamb out of town leaving me holding the bag?
00:42:52And trying to explain from a jail cell?
00:42:54I am not.
00:42:54I'm going after him.
00:42:56Pat, please be careful.
00:42:57Now, don't worry.
00:42:58Keep a stiff upper lip.
00:43:00No, don't keep a stiff upper lip.
00:43:01Relax and smile.
00:43:03That's better.
00:43:04There's the captain now.
00:43:05Stone him.
00:43:14Where's Pat, Molly?
00:43:15He isn't here.
00:43:16He isn't here.
00:43:24You shouldn't have done that, Molly.
00:43:31I'm going to radio away every car in town to be on the lookout for a disgrace to the force
00:43:36by the name of Pat O'Day.
00:43:38Come along, Molly.
00:43:39All right, kid.
00:44:05Hi.
00:44:06Where are you going?
00:44:06Back to the club to deliver some more circulars?
00:44:08I'm working.
00:44:09Yeah, I know.
00:44:10I just saw Dutch and he said that it was all gone.
00:44:13But you can make a couple of bucks doing a job from me.
00:44:16Oh, you don't have to pay me a mile away.
00:44:18I ain't forgot you sprung me.
00:44:20Ah, forget it, Danny.
00:44:21You know the Warwick Apartments on 126th Street?
00:44:24Yeah, it's about six parts from the subway, Ed.
00:44:26That's right.
00:44:27I want you to run this suitcase up there.
00:44:29Apartment 118.
00:44:30Tell the woman I sent you.
00:44:32Here.
00:44:33Here.
00:44:33Here's your car fare.
00:44:38And don't let anybody stop you.
00:44:40Check.
00:44:47Where's the kid going?
00:44:48Over the maze with that stuff.
00:44:50There's a law across the street.
00:44:51What?
00:44:52Don't worry.
00:44:53He might just be standing there.
00:44:54But I ain't taking no chances.
00:44:56Yeah, but the kid.
00:44:57He's got his badge on.
00:44:59Cops won't stop him.
00:45:00They're tailing him.
00:45:13You can't do anything now.
00:45:15I get to get up the maze.
00:45:16They must have found out about those kids spreading that stuff.
00:45:19Well, why don't they arrest the kid?
00:45:20They want to find out where that suitcase is going.
00:45:24Get a hold of Cornwall and Whisper.
00:45:26Tell him to be ready to leave when I get through.
00:45:28Let's go.
00:45:36Hey!
00:45:37Hey, Pee-wee!
00:45:39Want to go with me?
00:45:40Where are you going?
00:45:41126th Street.
00:45:47Come on, will you?
00:45:47Don't make any more letters to hand out.
00:45:49Tell you what I'll do.
00:45:49I'll treat you to a subway ride.
00:45:50Come on.
00:45:51Okay.
00:45:52Now, this is Joe.
00:45:54I saw a mile away come out of Smith's pawn shop on Bassey Street,
00:45:56so you better lift the place over.
00:45:58I'll call you later.
00:46:03This is the house.
00:46:04We're here for you, will you, Pee-wee?
00:46:06Okay, I'll be around.
00:46:07Well, what do you want?
00:46:33Mr. Harris wants you to take this one away from him.
00:46:35Well, give it to me and scram.
00:46:43All right, May.
00:46:45Open it up.
00:46:56Pick it up and bring it with you.
00:46:57I've got you this time.
00:47:00No.
00:47:01No, not me.
00:47:02You can't pin this on me.
00:47:02I ain't done nothing.
00:47:04Hey, what are you doing, Joe?
00:47:05I ain't done nothing.
00:47:06Not so fast, copper.
00:47:07Shut up.
00:47:08Pick up that stuff.
00:47:09We've got to get out of here before that shot brings everybody in the house.
00:47:12I say pick that up.
00:47:15I'm getting out of here.
00:47:16I don't want no part of this.
00:47:17You're leaving when I tell you.
00:47:18Come on, come on.
00:47:25Don't try anything funny.
00:47:39Guarding apartments, West 70th.
00:47:41Hey, Marlowe, let me go back into your apartment, will you?
00:47:58My badge is in there.
00:48:02See, even when I don't try, I live up to my name.
00:48:04They'll be out looking for the kid.
00:48:06I was a mile away.
00:48:07Yeah, and someday you won't be.
00:48:09You're too quick on that trigger.
00:48:11Yeah.
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:12You didn't have to bump that copper any more than the one Knuckles was going to the chair for.
00:48:16Got it.
00:48:16Knuckles?
00:48:19Pat told me there was counterfeiters mixed up in this.
00:48:21Quit clowning, Mae.
00:48:22Knuckles is the kid's brother.
00:48:25I was only kidding.
00:48:27Yeah, don't worry, Danny.
00:48:28They won't get you for bumping Joe either.
00:48:30Where we're going, we can use a smart kid like you.
00:49:05Who's there?
00:49:19Who's there?
00:49:30Get up.
00:49:31Get up.
00:49:35All right, where's mile away?
00:49:52Come on, you better start talking.
00:49:53Nein.
00:49:54You are police.
00:49:55In this country, do not shoot first.
00:49:57Right.
00:49:58But mile away got me and my boys into this.
00:50:00I'm just as hot as you are, so you'd better talk.
00:50:02All right.
00:50:04Don't shoot.
00:50:05I talk.
00:50:07This way, Sergeant.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:22Hey, Dutch.
00:50:24Monterey double-crossed us.
00:50:25The cops are right to Pat.
00:50:25At the Pat?
00:50:26Yeah.
00:50:27How far?
00:50:27Well, they think that Pat had us spread all our door all over town.
00:50:29There was a phony fit on those letters.
00:50:31Yeah, they found that out.
00:50:33Have you heard from Danny and Peewee?
00:50:34No, but Pat told me to come over here and broadcast anything we got.
00:50:37He's going to try to pick up on Eric's radio.
00:50:40Seating at the club.
00:50:41Maybe Danny and Peewee came back from all circulars.
00:50:43W-2-A-X-X.
00:50:54Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin.
00:50:58Officer Patrick O'Day is believed responsible for the wave of counterfeit bills that flooded the city this morning.
00:51:04Anyone knowing his whereabouts, please communicate with headquarters at once.
00:51:07Do not accept five-dollar notes with the...
00:51:09W-2-A-C-X.
00:51:13Calling W-2-A-C-X.
00:51:17There's no answer.
00:51:19Hey, Dutch, we've got to do something.
00:51:21Miloway's got Danny.
00:51:22He's holding a gun on him.
00:51:23He's really in a jam.
00:51:25Danny, too?
00:51:28Pat's in a jam.
00:51:29And so are we, all of us.
00:51:31Miloway double-crossed us.
00:51:33And you and me are the price saps.
00:51:34Huh?
00:51:37But I'll get even with that Miloway, Ed.
00:51:39Where's Danny?
00:51:42Up on West 70th, the Garden Apartments.
00:51:48Turn that thing on and start selling.
00:51:58Danny's Uncle Miles.
00:51:59Uncle Miles.
00:52:01Away over at the Garden Apartments on West 70th Street.
00:52:04Has taken Danny with him.
00:52:06Danny doesn't like it there.
00:52:08He says he'll die if someone doesn't come to see him soon.
00:52:11His address, his friend, Pat is listening in,
00:52:15is the Garden Apartments on West 70th.
00:52:18The Garden Apartments on West 70th.
00:52:24The Garden Apartments on West 70th Street.
00:52:27A mouse must be in the milk.
00:52:28The Garden Apartments on West 70th Street.
00:52:32A mouse must be in the milk.
00:52:34Dad, I'm taking your car.
00:52:36A mouse is in the milk.
00:52:37How's your number?
00:52:40West 70th.
00:52:40The Garden Apartments on West 70th.
00:53:06Danny.
00:53:07That's it.
00:53:08Ahead there.
00:53:08Pat, a gang just left with Danny.
00:53:17Take my car.
00:53:21I'll drive. Get in the back and stay down.
00:53:23Okay.
00:53:29You'll pick up Schmidt on the way out of town.
00:53:31Right.
00:53:32Hey, I'm not going out of town with you.
00:53:35One phony move out of you and this thing will talk.
00:53:38We're gaining on them, Pat.
00:53:52We're gaining on them.
00:54:00Step on it. There's a cop tailing us.
00:54:01Come on.
00:54:13Step on it. Open it up.
00:54:14Get somebody out of here.
00:54:25Come on. Get somebody out of here.
00:54:27Come on. Get somebody out of here.
00:54:31Come on. Get somebody out of here.
00:54:34Come on. Get somebody out of here.
00:54:47Come down.
00:54:48Let's go.
00:55:18Let's get out of here.
00:55:48Send out a description of young Danny Dolan to all departments.
00:56:00Ask them to spread a dragnet over the city.
00:56:02Tell them to be ready to shoot it out with him.
00:56:04This boy is armed and desperate.
00:56:06Yes, Captain.
00:56:07That's all.
00:56:08I've got to be Captain Moran.
00:56:09Let go of your cover.
00:56:11Captain Moran, it's Pat and Marlowe.
00:56:13They're fighting.
00:56:14They'll kill each other.
00:56:15You've got to do something.
00:56:16Come on, settle down.
00:56:17Where?
00:56:19Hey, fellas.
00:56:20We're in trouble.
00:56:20Come on, move back.
00:56:22Give the speaker and the microphone.
00:56:26All right, let's go.
00:56:26A mouse is in the milk.
00:56:41Come on, fellas.
00:56:41Come on, let's go.
00:57:11Come on, let's go.
00:57:41Come on, let's go.
00:58:11Come on, let's go.
00:58:42Look out Dutch.
00:59:07Marana.
00:59:25Marana.
00:59:33If you cut it out, you give me the creeps.
00:59:35Well, I'm nervous. We're all nervous.
00:59:37Well, Danny, you were right.
00:59:39Miloway made a full confession.
00:59:41His bullets were the same as found in the treasury man
00:59:43that Buckles was sent up for shooting.
00:59:45Gee, Pat, that's terrific!
00:59:53What about Dutch?
01:00:03Hey, wait a minute.
01:00:09Shorten that left hook you taught me.
01:00:15Hey, is that the one?
01:00:17Yeah, that's the one.
01:00:19Hey, you can't hit a guy when he ain't looking.
01:00:23It ain't honest.
01:00:25You're talking.
01:00:26Yeah, I'm talking.
01:00:27As long as Pat and the sponsors made me physical in...
01:00:31Well, anyhow, boss of this club,
01:00:33honesty is going to be the first rule.
01:00:37Hey, does that just go for the club?
01:00:39Yeah, that goes for us, too.
01:00:43You and me, from here on in.
01:00:45On your own in.
01:00:49Oh, gee, knuckles, you're swell.
01:00:54No, no, no.
01:00:55Now, don't be so unreasonable.
01:00:58Hey, uh, uh...
01:00:59Get a load of the lovebirds.
01:01:04Hey, Algy.
01:01:05Yeah?
01:01:06Come a minute.
01:01:07I got an idea.
01:01:15Well, you surely waited long enough to propose.
01:01:17How do I know you really care?
01:01:20Listen, if you want me to, I'll tell the world.
01:01:23I'll tell the whole world all of this.
01:01:26Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
