00:20...
01:07Famous sleuth kills Chopper.
01:13Mr. Tracy, that was some battle.
01:15That sure was, Mr. Tracy.
01:17You sure did a fine job in killing that crook.
01:20I wonder what happened to the rest of the gang.
01:21Sam, there was no proof that there was a gang.
01:24All we know is that there was somebody there at the scene of the crime outside of Chopper.
01:27Well, Mr. Tracy, who do you think they were?
01:29I don't know. We didn't find them.
01:31No, when Chopper was killed, the other man just seemed to disappear.
01:35Well, Chopper committed a crime and he paid for it.
01:37But somewhere along the line, his path crosses the moles.
01:40The mole? Who is the mole?
01:41Oh, he's a mysterious character about whom we know very little.
01:45He owns a restaurant called The Hole in the Wall.
01:48Mr. Tracy had dinner there last night.
01:50Yes, well, the food was good, so tonight I decided to mix business with pleasure.
01:54I want to talk to that mole some more.
01:56Tess liked the food, too, so I told her to invite Diet Smith and Miss Frothingham to join us there.
02:01So, uh, I'll see you men later.
02:04Where are you going now?
02:05Well, I have a few errands to attend to for Tess before I meet her at The Hole in the Wall.
02:09See ya.
02:13Uh, what's, uh, what's troubling, Mr. Tracy, Sam?
02:17Well, Murphy, when he has an important case,
02:20he finds that he can solve it so much easier if he's alone and just, uh, keeps on walking.
02:27Yeah.
02:28It does do a man a bit of good to be alone with his soul once in a while.
02:31Well, me free time's about up, so I guess I'll be getting on back down to me dungeon.
02:37What, uh, what'll you be doing, Sam?
02:39Well, I think I'll just stay here at Tracy's desk and go over the, uh, papers here on the mole.
02:43Well, all right. I'll see you later, Sam.
02:45Mm-hmm.
02:46Go along.
02:50Yes, sir, sweet.
02:52These plates are worth at least a million dollars.
02:55This is the finest job that's ever been turned out.
03:02In fact, the Treasury Department is hot on the trail.
03:06Well, isn't it dangerous?
03:08A little.
03:09But we'll pass the money in Mexico.
03:12And then we'll travel around the world.
03:15You mean just you and me?
03:18Just you and me.
03:19Hey, how does it operate?
03:24Well, you have to have special printing presses, special paper, and special inks.
03:32You have to have a special talent, too, wouldn't you?
03:34Have you ever done a thing like that?
03:36No.
03:38But I put my finger on a man that can run this operation for me.
03:43Means you'd have to cut him in, wouldn't it?
03:45Yeah.
03:46But after he's finished his part of the job, then we can talk it over.
04:06Hi, Mo.
04:07I thought I told you never to come down here till I sent for you.
04:11Well, I'm sorry, Mo. I forgot.
04:13You can't afford to forget.
04:15Tracy's looking for you for that job when Chopper was killed.
04:18I'd like to get my hands on him, too.
04:21I hope you get the chance, and soon.
04:24Now, you stay here.
04:26Tracy's got nothing on you because you weren't mixed up in that killing job.
04:29And I may have some work for you later on.
04:32Now, Pawn, you beat it.
04:34And be mighty careful.
04:36All right.
04:36All right.
04:44Well, you sent for me, Mo?
04:46How are you, shyster?
04:47Please, sir.
04:49I resent...
04:49Counselor.
04:51That is.
04:52We got a little job for you.
04:54Oh, fine.
04:55I want you to go and spring wheels.
05:00Z.V.
05:01Wheels, that is.
05:02He's over in the city jail.
05:05Yes, yes.
05:06Well, what's he in for?
05:07Oh, nothing very serious.
05:09I guess a vacancy rep.
05:11Z.V.
05:11Wheels?
05:12Why, he's the finest counterfeit machine operator in the country.
05:16How did he end up on a charge like that?
05:19He plays the horses.
05:21Oh.
05:22I think he would work out a little deal where he can spend it faster than he can make it
05:27on that little machine of his.
05:30That is.
05:31Faster than he can make it on that little machine.
05:33Say, that's pretty good, Mo.
05:34Yes.
05:36Yeah.
05:36Oh, and that's a pretty good fee.
05:40That's not all yours.
05:42Half of it goes to you, and the other half to Wheels, so they can get him out of that
05:47vacancy rep.
05:48Now I want you to get him and bring him over here right away.
05:50You know, Mo, it's always a pleasure to do business with you.
05:53Yes, indeed.
05:55In fact, I might say you're one of my finest clients.
05:58See what cash I'll buy you?
06:00Loyalty.
06:02As long as my money holds out.
06:06That was a most, most unkind thing you've just implied.
06:09Thinking I, J. Blackstone Springham, could be bought for mere money.
06:16Do you want to know why he's bringing Wheels?
06:18Certainly not.
06:19The only reason I haven't been disbarred is that so far, I've been able to keep one step
06:23ahead of the law, which, of course, is just enough.
06:25I intend to stay that way.
06:28You can depend on me, Mo.
06:30I'll bring you your Mr. Z. B. Wheels.
06:38Oh, Sam, Sam Ketchum.
06:40That new fellow we got down here with the name of Wheels, he's been asking me all the
06:45afternoon if he could have a book to read.
06:47Well, I said, what kind of a book do you want?
06:49And he says he wants a book on mechanics.
06:51Well, now I have the book on me desk here.
06:53Now, here's why I'm calling you.
06:55Is it all right to give a prisoner a book on tools and mechanical equipment?
06:59Will it help him to escape?
07:00What's he in for?
07:02He's in for vagrancy.
07:03Oh, that's all right.
07:04Give it to him.
07:05Give it to him.
07:06Well, okay, okay.
07:10As long as you say so.
07:13Mechanics, no less.
07:14Well, Mr. Wheels, here's your book.
07:23Sure.
07:23I don't know what a man in here on a vagrancy charge we want with a thing like that.
07:28On print and presses and tools and various and sundry other mechanical items.
07:33Mr. Murphy, it is merely that I have an incessant quest for knowledge, regardless of the extenuating
07:38circumstances.
07:39Well, no, I'm not quite sure what you just said there, but, well, I guess it's all right.
07:55These plates are used to manufacture counterfeit money.
08:01They're all hand-etched.
08:04It took the man seven months to complete that job.
08:10And nobody but a treasury expert could detect the bills.
08:16There's been over a quarter of a million dollars worth of phony currency printed with these plates.
08:24And at least three men have died who have owned them.
08:29No kidding.
08:30Yeah.
08:31And now they're mine.
08:35Who's there?
08:37It's me, Block.
08:39Come in.
08:43Guess who's here.
08:43Well, this is no time for games.
08:46Who is it?
08:46Dick Tracy.
08:48Dick Tracy?
08:49What does he want?
08:50He didn't say.
08:51Except that he'd like to meet the manager of the restaurant.
08:54That's peculiar.
08:56What could he want with me?
08:57He didn't tell me.
09:00Listen.
09:00I don't feel like seeing Dick Tracy right now.
09:06But I think that we can arrange to make his visit pretty comfortable.
09:13What do you mean?
09:15Listen.
09:16If he starts snooping around here, he's liable to find something.
09:21I'll tell you what you do, Phil.
09:23You tell Tracy that the manager won't be back for, say, five or ten minutes.
09:28And why don't you sit down and have a cup of coffee on the house?
09:32Right.
09:34And now, Mountain.
09:36What?
09:36I got a job for you.
09:38That's all right with me.
09:40You just go out in the kitchen and prepare Mr. Tracy's coffee.
09:46Say, that's a good idea.
09:54Mr. Tracy, the manager isn't here yet.
09:56Will you have a cup of coffee on the house while you're waiting?
09:58I'll have some coffee, but I'd rather pay for it myself.
10:00Well, as you wish.
10:01Sugar?
10:02No, thanks.
10:03I'll take it plain.
10:05Fluff, have you seen the boss around anywhere?
10:07You're a mountain, aren't you?
10:09Yes.
10:09What about it?
10:10I want to have a little talk with you.
10:11What?
10:12Police headquarters?
10:13No, I can talk to you right here and now.
10:15Fluff, bring me a cup of that jam.
10:22What do you know about a man named Chopper?
10:25Just what would you like to know about him?
10:27Well, I just want to know what you know about him.
10:34It's coffee.
10:36It's sort of sweet.
10:39It's...
10:40It's a lot of trade where you can't stand up.
10:43Well, coffee, it's drunk.
10:45That's right.
10:46What happens now, mountain?
10:48The boss has got a good room down for him down below.
10:50That's where he's going now.
10:52He'll latch on that door.
10:53That's right.
11:04Top him down.
11:08Hilarious porn.
11:10What happens now?
11:11I told the mole we ought to bump him off, bury his body somewhere and forget it.
11:16Well, the mole said not to.
11:17Yeah, I know.
11:18I can't understand that.
11:20He's the most dangerous enemy we got.
11:23Why let him live?
11:24It always seems best not to question the mole.
11:27He knows what he's doing.
11:28Well, I suppose you're right.
11:31But I'd still like to cut him up a little bit.
11:34Well, what's the sense?
11:35He's fast asleep.
11:36He'd never know anything about it.
11:38Yeah, but when he wakes up, I'm going to bang him around.
11:41Come on, get a rope and let's tie him up.
11:46Here, gel.
11:46Here, this ought to hold him.
11:48I can't see.
11:49Well, they don't seem to be here.
11:57Are you sure this is the place?
11:59Oh, yes.
12:00Tess was most serious when she said we were to eat in a cellar.
12:04Why, Miss Frothingham, you do appear to be rather stuffy.
12:07I think the atmosphere here is very, very nice.
12:10We've been here at least 30 seconds and no one has come to show us to a table.
12:14Miss Frothingham, Miss Frothingham, how you do carry on.
12:17Why, this reminds me of a very delightful little place that I frequented in London when I was there.
12:25Just on the outskirts of the Soho district.
12:28That was in 1924.
12:30No, no, no, 1925.
12:31In 1924 and 1925, you were in Africa.
12:35Well, then it must have been in the early part of 1926.
12:38Good evening.
12:39Can I help you folks?
12:40Why, yes, my dear.
12:42I'm afraid we were trifled early, but we'd like a table for four.
12:45We were to meet the Dick Tracys here.
12:46Has either of them shown up?
12:48Dick Tracys?
12:49No, we haven't seen him since yesterday.
12:51Mrs. Tracys, too.
12:52You haven't seen her?
12:53No, she hasn't arrived yet.
12:54Oh.
12:55Your table is right this way.
12:56Oh, thank you.
12:56Thank you, my dear.
12:58There you are, Miss Frothingham.
13:00Yes, indeed, this is a most charming place.
13:04It reminds me of the time that I was in Buenos Aires.
13:07It was a charming, charming spot, indeed.
13:11One of the most charming hideaways in Argentina.
13:14A little while ago, you said it was in London, in the Soho district.
13:17Oh, yes, so it is, so I did.
13:19Well, I think I'll have a nice thick steak, rather rare,
13:23and I'll start off with a nice little dish of caviar with plenty of onions.
13:27Now, Diet Smith, stop your dreaming.
13:29You know your doctors haven't allowed you to eat food of that sort for years.
13:32Would you please be kind enough to warm these up for Mr. Smith?
13:36But don't serve them until our guests arrive.
13:38Oh, no, no, no.
13:40When will this ever stop?
13:49Oh, hello, Trace.
13:50Hello, you two.
13:51Mrs. Tracey, so nice to see you.
13:53I'm sorry I'm so late.
13:55Have either of you seen my husband?
13:57No, he hasn't shown up yet.
13:58I wonder where he could be.
14:00Well, don't worry.
14:01He will soon.
14:02You said this was a salad.
14:04It certainly is.
14:06It's a most charming spot.
14:11Well, just look at this pipe here next to me.
14:18Well, isn't that wonderful?
14:20What's wonderful about it?
14:21Why, that's the X-42 primary casting that my factory stopped making 22 and 24 years ago.
14:30Why.
14:32Hey, what definitely is in the pipes?
14:37Is that mice?
14:38If it is, I can't stand them.
14:39Ah, you're just like an elephant.
14:41They can't stand mice either.
14:44Ah, what magnificent qualities.
14:47Can I take your orders now?
14:49Uh, should we wait for Tracy?
14:51Why don't we just sit and chat a while?
14:53I'm not particularly hungry myself.
14:55Neither am I.
14:57I wonder what can be keeping my husband.
15:01There, I guess that'll haul him.
15:03Well, come on, I'll take you on for a game of cards.
15:04Who's there?
15:19Jay Blackstone Springham.
15:21Mr. Zeevee Wheels.
15:30Mole?
15:31Right.
15:31How'd you find out about me?
15:35Well, I was looking for a good counterfeit press operator.
15:38Max in Denver told me about you.
15:41All right, shyster.
15:43Your job is finished.
15:44Scram.
15:44Oh, yes, of course.
15:45I was just leaving.
15:47Well, gentlemen, it's been an extreme pleasure working with such fine, high-class people.
15:52Oh, and if I can be of any service in the future, don't hesitate to call me.
15:55You gave me one.
15:56Oh, yes.
15:57Of course, so I did.
15:58Good day, gentlemen.
16:02Is this your lawyer?
16:04On some cases.
16:06Well, now we're alone.
16:07We can talk.
16:09What do you want?
16:09Did you ever hear of the spiked derviled plates?
16:15Derviled engravings?
16:17The greatest job ever turned out.
16:19What do you know about them?
16:20What do I know about them?
16:23I got them.
16:25You got them?
16:26Yeah.
16:27At least three people have lost their lives trying to obtain those plates, and there will
16:30probably be a lot more.
16:32Well, where the payoff is big, it's worth the risk.
16:36Now you're talking my language.
16:38What do you mean?
16:40Big payoff.
16:42Oh, we'll get together on terms, all right.
16:45We'd better.
16:47What have you got besides the plates?
16:49Nothing.
16:50I figured that you'd have the stuff.
16:53Ah, means I have to get special inks and paper and a good hand-printing press.
16:57Yeah.
16:58You know, all these things require years and years of knowledge and training.
17:01Yeah.
17:02I know that.
17:04That's the reason that I had you sprung.
17:07Because you're the man for this job.
17:09Hmm?
17:11How much of this stuff do you want me to turn out?
17:13Well, at least a million dollars.
17:18And that is before we pass even one bill.
17:22That's a big order.
17:27Uh, how are you going to work it out?
17:31I've got plans.
17:33Big plans.
17:34And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:38And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:39And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:40And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:41And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:42And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:42And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:44And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:44And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:45And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:46And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:47And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:48And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:49And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:50And if we work it right, we can all be rich.
17:51I'll pay these.
18:15Well, so you're awake.
18:18Now I'm gonna fix your wagon, but good.
18:22Wait a minute.
18:23Let's finish this hand.
18:25I'm ahead.
18:26And I don't want you to use any shoes to quit.
18:29Well, I guess you'll be there.
18:31Watch it, copper.
18:48What in the world's making all that noise?
18:55It's getting so late.
18:56I can't understand it.
18:58Well, Dick Tracy's never late.
19:00I wonder what could have happened.
19:01Where could he be?
19:03Oh, there's Sam Ketchum.
19:04Maybe he knows.
19:05Good evening, Mr. Ketchum.
19:06Won't you join us?
19:07Oh, thank you.
19:08Where's Tracy?
19:09Well, that's what we wanted to ask you.
19:11He hasn't showed up yet?
19:12Don't worry.
19:13Nothing ever happens to Tracy.
19:14He'll be here in a little while.
19:16I hope so.
19:17Yes, this is the most marvelous piece of casting, you know?
19:21You can hear every sound of anything that touches it.
19:24Why, I hear a most peculiar noise.
19:35Most peculiar indeed.
19:37Diet Smith, now you stop that.
19:39I told you before, it's not polite to eavesdrop.
19:42I'm not eavesdropping.
19:43I'm merely testing my product.
19:46This product that Diet Smith is so proud of
19:49is the product of his old Pittsburgh plant
19:51that he manufactured more than 24 years ago.
19:53Well, no matter what it is, pipes, rubber, grains,
19:57you can rest assured that the Diet Smith Enterprises
19:59had something to do with it.
20:01It's nothing, nothing at all, but it's quite true.
20:06What do you got?
20:08I got a King High Street.
20:10Yeah.
20:11You're lucky.
20:13I got you that time, eh?
20:15Yeah, but I'll get even with you
20:16after I give this copper a good working over.
20:19Yeah.
20:23Looks like the boss wants you upstairs for a job.
20:29Yeah.
20:30I better...
20:31Oh, wait a minute.
20:32I better take this with me, too.
20:34You don't trust me?
20:35No.
20:36I'll see you later.
20:37Well, I guess that's about everything I'll need to do a good job.
20:42Where do you want me to put the press?
20:44I've got a sub-basement room all prepared for that.
20:47One of my men, Mountain, will be here in a few seconds
20:50and take care of all of this.
20:51He's to take his working order direct from you.
20:54Good.
20:55As long as he's big and dumb and strong,
20:56and will take instructions.
20:58That's a perfect description, the mountain.
21:07You sent for me, boss?
21:08Yeah.
21:09I bought it for you.
21:10Oh, secret panels and everything, huh?
21:12Who's this guy?
21:14That's Mr. Wheels.
21:15Here to take your instructions from him.
21:18Well, if you say so.
21:20Quite a setup you've got here.
21:21Yeah.
21:22I've got secret panels like that to every one of my underground rooms,
21:26including those two houses next door.
21:29A good place to hide.
21:31A good place to escape.
21:34And a good place to do things privately.
21:37First class setup, huh?
21:39Yeah.
21:40Tunnels and tunnels and nothing but tunnels.
21:44Is Dick Tracey awake yet?
21:46Yeah.
21:47When I left, he was tied to a pipe and gag.
21:50And Paul was about to cut him up a little.
21:53Just for practice.
21:54All this and Dick Tracey too?
21:56Ha!
21:57What more can a person ask?
21:58You've got a great sense of you, haven't you, Wheels?
22:00Yeah.
22:01Well, let's get down to business.
22:02Mountain?
22:03You see this piece of paper?
22:04Yeah.
22:05Well, I've written down here everything that I'll need
22:06in the way of inks and paper and equipment.
22:08I wish you'd take this slip and go to these addresses,
22:11pick up this stuff and get it to me through those tunnels
22:13or whatever you call it,
22:14to the place where I'm going to work.
22:15Is this the fellow that's going to print our money?
22:18That's right.
22:19I'll take mighty good care of you.
22:22Thank you, Martin.
22:24That ain't nothing.
22:25All right, Martin.
22:26Pick that stuff up.
22:30I like the way you work, Maul.
22:32Just like a top man.
22:34All right.
22:35Take care of things.
22:36All right.
22:37Take care of things.
22:39Just listen to that noise, Mr. Ketchum.
22:50Whatever can it be?
22:52Diet Smith, it is not polite to eavesdrop.
23:07How many times do I have to tell you this?
23:09Wait a minute.
23:10That sounds like code.
23:12S. O. S. T. R. A. C. Y. Tracy.
23:30O. K.
23:45That tapping sounded like it came from down below.
23:47There must be a sub-basement here.
23:54I guess I'd better finish you now, Carver.
23:58This is the end of you, green species.
24:00Hey!
24:01Hey!
24:18Oh, Carver!
24:19Carver!
24:20Please!
24:21You know your way out of this place, don't you?
24:23Yes!
24:24All right.
24:25Let's go.
24:27Please, Carver.
24:29Come on, right this way, sir.
24:34All right.
24:36Pawn, I thought I'd better go the whole way with you,
24:38right up to the jail cell, just to make sure you were locked up.
24:40You don't need to worry all about this one.
24:42He ain't going no place.
24:43You know, Mr. Tracy, it sure was a brave thing you didn't catch
24:46from that big thug all by yourself.
24:48Well, it wasn't all by myself, really, Murphy.
24:50Fortunately for me, Sam found his way downstairs to the room I was in.
24:54Otherwise, I might have been lost and Pawn would have escaped.
24:57Thanks, Sam.
24:58Thanks a lot.
24:59I thought it was nothing.
25:00You'd have done the same thing for me.
25:01Oh, by the way, did that guy Pawn rough you up very much?
25:04No, no.
25:05Nothing too bad.
25:06Anyway, Tess is a good nurse.
25:07He'll take care of me.
25:08Well, Tracy, that's another criminal you put behind bars.
25:12It sure was, Mr. Tracy, and by God, it is a wonderful job you did.
25:16Thanks, Murphy.
25:17Say, I feel in need of some food.
25:20Food, did you say?
25:21Hey, bring me back a hamburger too, will you?
25:23Take care of that guy, Murphy.
25:24I am here.
25:25No wonder, he's here.
25:26Hey!
25:27Hey!
25:28We're done here!
25:29Shh!
25:30Hey!
25:31We're done here!
25:32We're...
25:33We're done here.
25:34We're gonna try it.
25:35We're gonna try it.
25:37We're gonna try it.
25:38Come here.
25:40So come here.
25:41I'm gonna try it now.
