00:00BIRDS CHIRP
00:30What what do you see what I do with that just my crazy eyes
00:43I
00:54Don't know who you are
00:56But it's dark I can see and you can't
00:59I know more that's the way I planned it now. I'm gonna get even with you Joker
01:21What do you want what do you want you're responsible for my chum whales being in prison and get beat up by your big gorilla
01:29What
01:31I saw I'm hanging there
01:34What are the lights I'm blind I can't I can't see my eyes
01:40Who is that the Joker I recognize his voice
01:56I can't understand what happened to them all
01:59Looks like he just disappeared right into the earth
02:01Yes, it's a very very peculiar thing
02:03We have men on duty 24 hours a day around the hole in the wall restaurant covering every foot of ground within a hundred yard radius
02:09Still no results
02:10What's our next step?
02:11Well, we've checked against all the police records throughout the country and we still haven't dug up one man answering his description with a criminal record
02:17Sounds like a pretty shrewd operator to me
02:21Yes, he certainly is
02:23You know Tracy
02:25This is like planning a big battle is this
02:27What do you mean?
02:28Well first you find out who your enemy is
02:30Then you find out his strength
02:32You find out his weaknesses
02:35Then
02:36When you plan to overcome him
02:38Everything must be prepared logically step by step
02:41Yes, but first we have to find the enemy
02:43You will
02:44And soon
02:50How are your eyes?
02:51Oh, I never could stand bright lights
02:53And now since that Joker thought up a new trick and set that flash off in front of my face
02:58Almost blinded me
03:00Oh, I tell you fluff my eyes are killing me
03:05But nobody can do this to the mole and get away with it
03:09Absolutely nobody
03:12You know what I'm gonna do?
03:14I'm gonna hunt that Joker out and I'm gonna kill him
03:18If it's the last thing I do
03:21Give him a hat
03:24If what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna kill him
03:27You can't know Tracy has cops all around here day and night
03:30I know he has
03:33But I've got an idea
03:34What's that?
03:35Yeah
03:37I'm gonna follow this thing through fluff
03:40I'm gonna put on a disguise
03:43A grey beard
03:45A cane
03:46A sloppy old hat
03:48Yeah
03:49That's what I'm gonna do
03:51I'll tell you what I want you to do
03:53I want you to go to a theatrical costumers
03:56Buy me a makeup kit
03:58Some grey crepe hair
04:00Pick up an old cane and a sloppy hat
04:03Yeah
04:05Yeah, that'll do it
04:07You know what you're doing, don't you?
04:08Sure
04:10Before the lights injured my eyes, I used to be on the stage
04:14The longer I'd know you, the more amazing you are
04:17But that's what I'm gonna do
04:19I'm gonna kill him
04:22Well, what are you standing there for?
04:24I told you to go and get this stuff
04:26I'll beat it
04:27Okay, Mo
04:32Yeah
04:34Blind me, Willie
04:35Huh?
04:36I'll kill you
04:38I'll kill you
04:42Oh
04:43Huh?
04:45Oh
04:47Ah
04:48Yeah
04:50Yeah
04:51I'm gonna kill him
04:53Now
04:54�
04:55The country
04:57Wow
04:58Well
05:00Well
05:01Ah
05:02��게
05:04So
05:06But
05:08So
05:09Dick Tracy, this is to inform you of the existence and whereabouts of a man named Mole.
05:29I know you're looking for this man, Mole. Mole has never left his house. And in fact, right now, the Mole is laughing at you and all the police you have in his neighborhood. P.S. Don't Moles Live in Tunnels?
05:51Now, this is a peculiar card. Don't Moles Live in Tunnels? You know, Sam, that's an idea we haven't done anything about.
05:58Well, who signed it? Well, there's no signature, Your Honor. It's just written on this big card.
06:02What is it? The Ace of Spades for death or something? Oh, it happens to be the Joker.
06:14All right, well. Oh, you got him. That's fine. Now, move that door. Move that door.
06:21What's the matter with you? Oh, I can't sit still. I don't know what to do.
06:26Can you imagine that little dirty punk shooting off those lights in front of my eyes? Do you know what that might have done to me?
06:34Mole, relax. Oh, you got it, didn't you, huh?
06:39Sit down, Mole. Yeah. Oh. Oh, that's fine. Look.
06:45Got a mustache. Got the comb and the scissors.
06:49Everything else. Oh. Now I can make myself a beard.
07:00Well, Fluff, how does this look?
07:02It's wonderful. Nobody would know you.
07:04I told you I used to be on the stage. Now, you wouldn't believe it, but I did play a bit of Shakespeare.
07:11Me kingdom for me hat.
07:13Now, my dear, would you mind helping your poor old Uncle Ezra across the street?
07:30Uncle Ezra, that's a good one.
07:32Now, what do you want me to do?
07:33Now, listen. We're going to separate to start with, because I can get along all right as the old man.
07:41But to know that you work here, and if we're seen together, we may cause suspicion.
07:46So we'll meet at the corner of Rudolph and Allen Street, right in front of the barbershop.
07:51Yeah, I know where it is.
07:52Now, you'll be there in 20 minutes.
07:54Then what happens?
07:55Then we'll go to the Joker's magic shop.
07:57And what do you want me for?
07:58Well, since my eyes have been so bad, I want to make absolute sure that we make no mistakes.
08:05You'll go in the store, look around, come out, and give me the layout.
08:10What if he recognizes me?
08:11Oh, don't be ridiculous. He's never seen you.
08:14Okay.
08:16All right, let's go.
08:20Well, um, now you say you're having a party at 12 people tonight.
08:26Now, this little glass here is what we call a dribble glass.
08:29Have the people at the party, get up, propose a toast.
08:31Everybody drinks, they all get wet.
08:34They'll always hate you, but believe me, sir, they'll never forget you.
08:39I'll be with you in just a minute, miss.
08:40I'm just looking around.
08:42Uh, guess what I have in my hand.
08:46This, my pretty young lady, is for you.
08:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just finish up with my customer over here.
08:50Very, very enthusiastic fellow, you know.
08:53Now, sir, this will absolutely kill him at the party.
08:56This, I guarantee.
08:59Huh? Clever? Great?
09:00Is he there?
09:15Yeah.
09:16Anybody else in the shop?
09:17One customer.
09:18Are you sure?
09:18Yeah.
09:18Good. I'll go get him.
09:21Wait till the customer clears out.
09:22I've come this far. I ain't gonna wait any longer.
09:25Why don't you make up your mind? Nobody can change you.
09:27Now, tell me the layout.
09:28It's called Joker's Magic Shop.
09:29It's just around the corner of the third store down.
09:31And when you go into the shop, on the right, there's a long counter.
09:34There's practically nothing else in the whole shop.
09:36Good.
09:37Even if your eyes are bad, you can't miss him because he's got a big head on with a false face with like a doll's.
09:41That's the best news I've ever heard.
09:52And now, Joker, I'm gonna take care of you.
09:54I'm gonna take care of you.
10:24I'm gonna take care of you.
10:26Well, let's say they're hidden rather than quiet.
10:28Well, what I mean is there hasn't been any action.
10:31No.
10:36Hello. Tracy speaking.
10:38Yes, Gillis.
10:40A murder in a trick shop downtown?
10:42All right. We'll get right on it.
10:44Now, what's the address?
10:46Okay.
10:49I heard some of the details on the way down.
10:51Is there anything more you'd like to tell us, Joker?
10:53Yeah. I was trying to sell this man one of these things.
10:56He was trying it on, and I had to go into the back room because I had a real good trick I wanted to show him.
11:00All of a sudden, I heard pistol shots, and I ran to the curtain and saw a man pumping boats into this guy here.
11:05Did you see who fired the shots?
11:06Yeah.
11:07Would you know what he looked like?
11:08Looked like a fellow who owns a restaurant down the street called The Hole in the Wall.
11:11He was wearing a beard, dark glasses, a hat, and carrying a cane.
11:15But you can't fool me with a disguise. That's my business.
11:17Yeah, well, this man whom you said was a customer, he had his head covered.
11:21How did this restaurant man know who he was shooting at?
11:24You know, I thought of that, too.
11:25Were you wearing a disguise like that yourself?
11:27Yeah, just a few minutes before.
11:28Anybody see you wearing it?
11:30Yeah, a girl came in here.
11:32Very cute little girl. She was wearing a sweater.
11:34Wait, wait, wait a minute.
11:35A girl wearing a sweater? So tall?
11:38Yeah.
11:39Red hair?
11:40Yeah. Sounds like fluff.
11:42Who's fluff?
11:43Well, she works in this restaurant for The Mole. She might be his girlfriend.
11:47You mean to say she came in here to put the finger on me?
11:49Well, it certainly looks like it.
11:50Oh, but you want to do that for her?
11:52That's what we'd like to know.
11:54Joker's Magic Shop.
11:55Is this a complete deck with a Joker?
11:57Yeah.
11:59Well, this one doesn't seem to have one in it.
12:02You say your name is Joker?
12:04That's right.
12:05Did you find something, Tracy?
12:06Do you remember the anonymous tip we got in a car just like this, only it was written on the Joker?
12:09Yeah, why?
12:10Well, now a man named Joker says a customer of his was shot.
12:13But I think he was killed by mistake.
12:15I'm going to take you down to headquarters if it's been questioning.
12:17Well, what do you want? You can't hold me for anything.
12:19Just for questioning. Maybe you'd like to help us.
12:33Bolt that door, Fluff.
12:34Gee, but that was pretty close.
12:37I did a pretty good job on that, didn't I?
12:41Now, how you do, my friends?
12:42Well, Mole, I might say you look very dashing in the beard.
12:47What are we doing, playing games?
12:49How did you get in here?
12:50Why, the back door was open.
12:52I thought I locked it.
12:53Did anybody else come in?
12:55Oh, no, no.
12:56Are you sure?
12:57Why, yes, of course.
12:59You go and bolt that door.
13:00Now, what do you want?
13:02Well, a few of your boys are in trouble, and I thought perhaps you might want to hire a good lawyer.
13:07A good lawyer?
13:08You.
13:09My dear young lady, they're one and the same thing.
13:11Just remember the name, J. Blackstone Springham, the finest criminal lawyer in the state.
13:16Hey, maybe I could use you at that.
13:18Do you know where you can buy a couple of witnesses?
13:22Why, what do you mean?
13:24Oh, it's a long story, and I'll tell it to you later.
13:27All I'm interested in right now is three or four good, reliable men who don't want too much money
13:33that can swear that they've been with me for the last three hours.
13:36Would you want three men or four men?
13:39What's the difference?
13:40Well, the difference being the price of an extra man.
13:43Oh, by the way, are you asking my advice on this?
13:45Of course I'm asking your advice.
13:47Good, good.
13:47That means I can now send you a bill for my services.
13:50But to continue, now, I would suggest, rather than three or four men whose stories might possibly conflict,
13:56that two good witnesses would turn out not only cheaper for you,
14:00but also more difficult for the police to trip up.
14:03Look, I want you to hear this.
14:07Not only is Springham a good shyster, but he wants to save me money.
14:12He talks pretty smart.
14:14Well, I'm glad to see you appreciate my talents.
14:17Oh, well, of course we have to have a little cash in advance on this.
14:22You don't forget anything, do you?
14:24Now, you just wait till I get this disguise off, and I'll take you into the office.
14:30Now, here.
14:31Here's a good one.
14:36Here.
14:38Continue.
14:41Love, love, come here a minute.
14:47Coming, Mo.
14:50What do you want?
14:52Looks like we might have to leave town.
14:54I think you better go home and pack.
14:55What are you doing with all that counterfeit money?
14:57I just paid Springham with some of it.
14:59It must be a pretty good job, otherwise he'd have recognized it.
15:02You must have about 25 grand there.
15:07Well, at least we can take a trip on that anyway.
15:09That's one consolation.
15:11Well, we can take care of that consolation business later.
15:14Now, you better go home and pack.
15:16And I'll phone you and name the place, and that's where we'll meet.
15:19What do you mean you'll phone me, name the place, and we'll meet there?
15:23How do I know you will?
15:24Well, look, are you trying to give me a bad time?
15:29Look, Mo, I'm not working here because of the way you part your hair or anything like that.
15:34I'm only here because of the money in it.
15:36So?
15:36Well, it looks like you're trying to brush me off so you can leave town without me and have no one to split with.
15:42Oh, now, is that a nice way for you to talk to me, Fluff?
15:46Well, if that's the case, why don't you give me a little of that dough right now so I can buy myself something to take with me?
15:52Then I'll know your heart's in the right place.
15:54Well, now, don't you know it would be dangerous for you to try and pass any of that counterfeit money in town?
16:00You might get caught.
16:01Don't be stupid. Only an expert can tell that queer dough from the real thing.
16:05Why, even Springham didn't catch it.
16:07That looks to me as though you're trying to get rid of me.
16:11Okay, I'll go home and pack.
16:15But I'll be right back.
16:20Now, this is the restaurant entrance, you know, the hall on the wall.
16:23Now, out here is the street.
16:25Now, this over here is the back lot where the deserted houses are.
16:27Between this building and that house, there's at least one underground tunnel if the mole had dug.
16:33Now, here's the mole's office.
16:35There's a secret panel entrance in and out of his office, and there's a secret entrance in back of his house.
16:39There are at least three rooms underground in the house that I know of, all connected with tunnels.
16:43And I've heard talk that the mole has a whole apartment underground, all spread out.
16:47Living room and everything else, all dug right out and connected by tunnels.
16:51Yes, indeed. This mole is really a peculiar character.
16:54No wonder we haven't seen much of him.
16:56I bet he could stay underground for months.
16:58Oh, I'll say. He's got a whole room full of nothing but canned food.
17:01He could stay down there a real long time.
17:03So we'll learn more and more about our enemy.
17:05Now we can plan our campaign.
17:07Joker, I want to thank you for this diagram and the help you've been to us.
17:10Is there anything else you want, Mr. Tracy?
17:12No. Of course, later you'll have to be at the trial.
17:15We'll book you as a material witness and release you on minimum bond.
17:17Thanks. I hope everything turns out all right.
17:20Don't worry, it will.
17:23Well, Sam, this is a very interesting setup the mole has.
17:27Yeah. Smart criminal could operate down there forever.
17:30There's always that one essential weakness.
17:33No man can operate and stay down there by himself.
17:36No, he has to have someone to talk to.
17:39And once he talks, there's never again such a thing as a secret.
17:43Now, Sam, I want you to go down and have a talk with Murphy.
17:45He's an expert on smoke and gas.
17:47What do you got in mind?
17:49I'm going to smoke the mole out of his tunnels.
17:51Well, well, Sammy boy, what might you be wanting?
18:01Murphy, I think I've got some news for you.
18:02What do you mean?
18:03Well, you've been wanting to get out of here and get some action, haven't you?
18:06Oh, I sure have.
18:07You know, I was telling Dick Tracy that what they needed up there in that detective department
18:12is a man that really knows his way around.
18:14Yes, yes, I know, I know.
18:15Now, didn't you used to be a consultant between the police and fire department on gases and smoke?
18:20I sure was.
18:21Yes, indeed, I was.
18:22And believe me, Sam Ketchum, I'm still keeping way ahead on the whole field.
18:26Why, in my spare time, I read up everything new when the subject comes around.
18:31What, uh, what's the story?
18:32Well, it seems there's a man living underground in a lot of tunnels right here in the heart of the city.
18:38Tunnels right here?
18:40Good Lord, no, you're joshing me.
18:42No, I'm not.
18:43It's the truth.
18:44But Dick Tracy has a plan to get him out in the open.
18:47And you're part of the plan.
18:48Me?
18:48Well, sir, that's fine.
18:50But, you know, they'd have to get somebody to put here to take me place.
18:54I'm doing that right now.
18:55And send Gillis in.
18:57I want him to relieve Murphy.
18:58Sir, my guy, that's good.
19:00That's the best news I've heard yet.
19:01And as soon as Gillis gets here, I'll go right up to Mr. Trace's office with you.
19:06You do just that.
19:11Where have you been?
19:12Been waiting here five minutes.
19:14The safe's open and the money's gone.
19:15I took that money down underground.
19:18What have you been doing?
19:19Well, I've been getting my papers and things in shape in case I have to leave town.
19:23Why do you want me to rush, though, and you're taking your time?
19:26Listen, Clough, you might as well get this straight.
19:29What I do is my own business.
19:32And when you're working for me, you do what I say.
19:36And if you don't like it, you can quit.
19:40Why, you no good shirveling rat!
19:45Well, you dirty little...
19:47All that conversation about splitting the dough, it was all talk, wasn't it?
19:50Of course it was.
19:52You take me for a fool.
19:54Don't you think that I know that a dame like you won't go for a guy like me, except for the money?
20:00So you've been playing me for a fool, is that it?
20:03Remember, Clough, you're the one that used the word.
20:06Oh, you no good rat!
20:08Now, men, you both have your instructions, all right?
20:20Come in.
20:22Well, Mr. Tracy, when are we going to get started?
20:24I have all the supplies and smoke tanks ready.
20:26Now, now, Murphy, we have a lot of men on this operation,
20:28and we're taking every precaution to see they don't get hurt.
20:30Right, sir.
20:31Well, Tracy, the cars are out front.
20:32The patrol cars have all been notified.
20:34As soon as we give the signal that the plan has started and everything is ready,
20:37things will move beautifully.
20:39Well, good.
20:39Let's get going.
20:44What car?
20:44After you, Mr. Murphy.
20:46Thank you, sir.
20:48I got it.
20:49You know, it sure does feel good to be in action once more.
21:00Tracy.
21:01It's Fluff.
21:07She's dead.
21:09Poor kid.
21:11It's a shame, but you never can tell.
21:12If you start to associate with criminals, you'll allow her to have to pay with your life.
21:19Well, how are we doing, Mr. Tracy?
21:21Oh, she's shiny in there.
21:23How are we doing, Mr. Tracy?
21:25It's all right.
21:25There's no one in here.
21:26Just this girl has been shot.
21:27Oh, my, oh, my.
21:31Well, uh, who do you think done it?
21:33Probably the mole.
21:35I wonder why.
21:36Well, it's the same old story.
21:37Either money or loot.
21:38We'll find out later.
21:40Murphy, you better start having the boys bring in the smoke.
21:42Right, sir.
21:43Sam, do you have that diagram?
21:44Yeah.
21:48Well, let's see.
21:49Here are the tunnels.
21:50And this is the mole's office.
21:54And in the corner of the room by the steam pipe, there's supposed to be a secret panel.
22:00It's supposed to be right over here.
22:05It opens from a switch on the desk.
22:08Let's see.
22:09Here it is.
22:10Let's see which one.
22:13Well, it's not that one.
22:14No.
22:16Let's try this.
22:20That's the one.
22:21There you are.
22:25Kind of dark in there.
22:27Yeah.
22:35Right this way, boys.
22:38All right in here, Murphy, is where we want the smoke.
22:39All right.
22:40Put it right down there, boys.
22:41Right over there.
22:42Now, boys, check and bring your horse right through here.
22:46Now, we start giving it to them right away.
22:48Now, just a minute, Murphy.
22:49Let's give Mother Mole a chance to get out.
22:51Call him.
22:51Well, all right.
22:53Mole, this is your last chance.
22:56If you don't come out of there with your hands up, we're going to start pouring the smoke for you.
23:02No answer.
23:04Okay, Murphy.
23:05Go ahead.
23:05All right, boys.
23:06Go right along with it.
23:07And be careful.
23:08Don't let it get that stuff out of there now.
23:09You're all going to be sorry for it.
23:11Got a couple of men watching the house next door.
23:13Well, everything seems to be taken care of with Murphy in here.
23:15Let's you and I go out there and take a look.
23:17Keep an eye on that entrance.
23:29I've got you covered, Mole.
23:55Come on over here and everything will be all right.
23:58Well, that was some fight, Tracy.
24:17Well, I can't understand it.
24:21I can't understand it.
24:23For several long years, I was waiting in that jail office down there for some action.
24:27And then finally, me big chance comes and what happens?
24:31There I am, in that room, quietly standing alongside of the smoke tank and on the outside all that fighting and shooting going on.
24:38My, my, my, was I humiliated.
24:42Well, say, by God, you sure did kill that Mole for the 40 days, didn't you, Mr. Tracy?
24:47He sure did.
24:49Well, it's all in a day's work.
24:51Yeah, some day's work.
24:53Well, Tracy, looks like that's the end of the Mole and his whole crew.
24:56Well, now I think I could use a nice, quiet evening at home.
25:01I think I'll just call Tess and tell her tonight I'm going to watch my television set.
