00:00:00The End
00:00:30Any mail for me?
00:00:47I'll see, Mr. Travis.
00:00:50Not a thing, sir.
00:00:52If I get a telegram or a special, have me page.
00:01:00Good evening.
00:01:10You look most charming, as usual.
00:01:13I'm going to be quite important and ask you if...
00:01:15If I dye my hair or is it really red?
00:01:19You guessed it.
00:01:21Well, do you or is it?
00:01:23I do not and it's really red.
00:01:26Anything in perfumes this evening?
00:01:27Uh, why, uh, yes, I believe so.
00:01:31Have you Lurigan?
00:01:32Yes.
00:01:33What size?
00:01:33What size would you suggest for a charming girl?
00:01:36Well, she'll probably take all she could get.
00:01:38Most women will.
00:01:44A philosopher and a cynic.
00:01:46At least a cynic.
00:01:48That's Lurigan.
00:01:49Do you like it?
00:01:50Do you?
00:01:51It's alluring.
00:01:52I'll take it.
00:01:53I hope she likes it.
00:01:54I'm certain she will.
00:01:57How late do you work?
00:02:03Until 12.
00:02:04And then?
00:02:06I go home and go to bed.
00:02:09Will you go somewhere with me and have supper?
00:02:12Now, don't let that red hair burn you up.
00:02:17Oh, I don't know.
00:02:20What's open after 12?
00:02:22Oh, some near beer garden.
00:02:24No, I mean something first class, where respectable people go.
00:02:27You think I'm a nice girl?
00:02:28I don't know how nice you are, but I know how careful I am.
00:02:36I'll be waiting for you in the lobby at 12.
00:02:40Promise not to make me walk back home?
00:02:41I don't enjoy that sort of thing.
00:02:44Well, all right, I'll chance it.
00:02:46Something for a charming girl.
00:02:48Oh, thank you.
00:02:53I'll be waiting.
00:02:58All in, girl, order.
00:03:00Elevator going up.
00:03:02All in, girl, order.
00:03:06On fire.
00:03:11Eins, zwei, drei, spiel!
00:03:13Is that not a garden house?
00:03:15Yes, it's a garden house.
00:03:16Is that not a garden house?
00:03:18Yes, it's a garden house.
00:03:20A garden house.
00:03:22Oh, it's a garden house.
00:03:25Oh, it's a garden house.
00:03:28Oh, it's a garden house.
00:03:34Is that not a garden house?
00:03:36Yes, it's a garden house.
00:03:37Is that not a garden house?
00:03:39Yeah, that is a mandalier, mandalier, garden tier, hop around, garden house.
00:03:44Oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es, garden house.
00:03:57I will, is this not an Eisenbaum?
00:03:59Yeah, that is an Eisenbaum, is this not a other land?
00:04:03Yeah, that is a mandalier, mandalier, garden tier, hop around, garden house.
00:04:09Oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es, garden house.
00:04:24Oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es, oh, wie schön es,
00:04:54da, da, da, da.
00:05:07Oh, what will it be?
00:05:09Oh, just a sandwich, please.
00:05:12Club sandwiches and coffee.
00:05:14Oh, would you rather have beer?
00:05:16Milk, milk, please.
00:05:18Milk?
00:05:19Milk.
00:05:19Milk.
00:05:32Take good care of yourself, don't you?
00:05:34Cigarette?
00:05:35No, thank you. I don't use them.
00:05:38Well, now that we're acquainted, what's your name?
00:05:42Lynn Monat.
00:05:44Sounds like a nightclub hostess.
00:05:46Well, be that as it may, it's mine.
00:05:48But I don't know yours.
00:05:51Oh, just call me Jack.
00:05:53But that isn't your real name, is it?
00:05:55Of course not.
00:05:57How long have you been around this town?
00:05:59Twenty-three years.
00:06:01I was born here.
00:06:03Not married, are you?
00:06:05Heavens no.
00:06:07With your family?
00:06:09No, I have no family.
00:06:11Oh.
00:06:14I like you.
00:06:16You're...
00:06:17Different.
00:06:18That's what they all say.
00:06:21Well, don't worry.
00:06:22I haven't any proposition.
00:06:23I just wanted company.
00:06:25Are you sure that's all?
00:06:27Absolutely sure.
00:06:29Well, that's fair enough.
00:06:32Where are you from?
00:06:33New York.
00:06:34Oh.
00:06:35I understand the hotel where you're working is going to be replaced by an office building.
00:06:43Yes.
00:06:44Guess I'll be looking for a job soon.
00:06:47I could find something for you to do in New York if you wanted to leave here.
00:06:50What would I do in New York?
00:06:52What would I do in New York?
00:06:53I'd find something for you.
00:06:56Well, it sounds almost like a proposal is so sudden.
00:06:59I don't like to make up my mind in a hurry, though.
00:07:02You see, I like to know what I'm doing.
00:07:05From what I know about women, they never know what they're doing.
00:07:09Am I flattered?
00:07:11Women are too emotional.
00:07:12You can't trust them.
00:07:14You think you know women?
00:07:16I know this.
00:07:18A woman who is loyal and can keep her mouth shut is worth a lot of money to any man.
00:07:27What do you mean?
00:07:30Maybe when we're better acquainted, I'll explain it to you.
00:07:40Take care of your trunk.
00:08:00The boy.
00:08:01Come with Monaster 501.
00:08:10Courtland 57219.
00:08:37Yes.
00:08:40Yes, this is Mr. Travers, resident.
00:08:54May I speak to Mr. Travers, please?
00:08:56Does Mr. Travers know you, Miss Mullins?
00:08:59I see.
00:09:01Well, Mr. Travers is out of the city at present.
00:09:03No, I'm sorry.
00:09:05I don't know when he expects to return.
00:09:08Victoria Hotel?
00:09:09Yes, I'll tell him you called.
00:09:11All right.
00:09:31Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:54I hope you don't think I was trying to flirt.
00:09:57Well, what would you call it, then?
00:09:58You're sitting on my hat.
00:10:01Oh, why, I beg your pardon.
00:10:05Well, it's my fault.
00:10:06You see, I went to the telephone, and when I came back,
00:10:10well, there you were, sitting on my hat.
00:10:13Yes, so you said.
00:10:14Yes, sitting on my hat.
00:10:16Well, I'll have to be going now.
00:10:24Darn it all, I want to talk to someone.
00:10:27I'm lonesome.
00:10:28And that privileges you to join me?
00:10:31This is New York.
00:10:32And that helps.
00:10:33Well, it helps.
00:10:36You're a stranger, aren't you?
00:10:38How'd you know it?
00:10:40Oh, I don't know.
00:10:41There's something about out-of-towners that's different.
00:10:45Do all of her go-hick?
00:10:46Oh, heavens no.
00:10:48Say, look here.
00:10:49What?
00:10:49I came down from White Plains to take my wife to the theater.
00:10:53She walked out on me for a weekend party, and here I am, stranded.
00:10:57Can't trust women.
00:10:59Is that your philosophy, or merely an assertion for conversation?
00:11:02I'm quoting someone.
00:11:05A man, I'll bet.
00:11:07Yes, a man.
00:11:09Well, I guess we can consider ourselves acquainted.
00:11:12Quite as well.
00:11:13My name's Bob Shelton.
00:11:15And mine's Lynn Monnet.
00:11:18Is your hair...
00:11:19Yes, my hair is really red.
00:11:21And I have tickets for the vanities.
00:11:23What about it?
00:11:24Did I say I was lonesome?
00:11:25Now, don't tell me you have a date.
00:11:27Should I, or shouldn't I?
00:11:31Please say yes.
00:11:34All right.
00:11:35Suppose someone saw us and told your wife.
00:11:37You flatter me.
00:11:39She wouldn't care.
00:11:41Can I depend on that?
00:11:42Absolutely.
00:11:43All right.
00:11:44We see the vanities.
00:11:46I'll go upstairs and change, and I won't be long.
00:11:48Great.
00:11:57I'll go upstairs and change.
00:12:27Hello.
00:12:50Hello.
00:12:51Yes, this is Miss Monnet.
00:12:54All right.
00:12:55Miss Monnet.
00:12:57Thanks.
00:13:01Hello there, how are you?
00:13:03I'm sorry I wasn't here when you phoned.
00:13:06I've been out to Chicago on business.
00:13:10Well, where are you?
00:13:13Oh.
00:13:15Well, that's rather an expensive hotel, young lady.
00:13:18Well, for a poor working girl who hasn't worked nearly a month, it most certainly is.
00:13:24Oh, New York's all right, but I'd like it better if I had a job.
00:13:27No, I haven't forgotten you said you'd give me something to do.
00:13:33Oh, splendid. What time?
00:13:35Just a moment.
00:13:37Joe.
00:13:40Is there anything on for this evening that I can't sidestep?
00:13:43Harry said Morgan was around several times.
00:13:47Morgan, eh?
00:13:50Well, I'll drift down to the silver moon about midnight.
00:13:53Tell Harry.
00:13:57Hello.
00:13:58We'll have dinner here at my apartment.
00:14:02That is, if you're not afraid.
00:14:04Afraid of what?
00:14:07You?
00:14:08Oh, heavens no.
00:14:11Then I'll inspect the car at 7.30.
00:14:14Yes, it's room 501.
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:17All right.
00:14:19Goodbye.
00:14:27Hello there.
00:14:28How are you?
00:14:29Well, you're even better looking than I thought you were.
00:14:32It's easy for you to say nice things, isn't it?
00:14:35If I mean them.
00:14:36Gee, this is a small place.
00:14:40I'm glad you like it.
00:14:43Cocktail?
00:14:44Believe it or not, I don't use them.
00:14:46You don't smoke?
00:14:47You don't drink?
00:14:49What do you do?
00:14:50Eat, sleep, and work.
00:14:53Well, that's not a bad routine.
00:14:54Sure you won't have one?
00:14:59Quite certain.
00:15:01Well, I'll say one thing.
00:15:03You know you're mine.
00:15:04Don't forget my red hair.
00:15:06I didn't.
00:15:07I haven't.
00:15:09And I won't.
00:15:11How long did you say you've been in town?
00:15:13Nearly a month.
00:15:15You know, you promised me a job.
00:15:16And if you're handing them out, you're the only one in New York who is.
00:15:20What's the matter, bro?
00:15:22Flat.
00:15:22So you want a job, eh?
00:15:27Well, if you've changed your mind, I can get one someplace else.
00:15:29Don't be silly.
00:15:31I'm not.
00:15:34Redheaded spunk, eh?
00:15:37There are thousands of pretty girls in this town looking for jobs.
00:15:41They end up on the streets.
00:15:43Or in the morgue.
00:15:45Well, the morgue may get me.
00:15:47But not the streets.
00:15:49You've never been really hungry.
00:15:53When you get really hungry, you'll do almost anything.
00:15:57And speaking of hunger, there's dinner.
00:16:05We eat.
00:16:13Well, how do you feel now?
00:16:14Oh, like a new person.
00:16:16A full stomach certainly alters one's outlook on life.
00:16:19Rather.
00:16:19All right, Lynn.
00:16:23You're working for me.
00:16:25Do you mean it?
00:16:27I never say things I don't mean.
00:16:30You'll find that out.
00:16:31Well, what am I to do?
00:16:33The first thing you ought to do is to move into an apartment.
00:16:36I selected one this afternoon on 87th Street.
00:16:39Yes.
00:16:40I'll take care of the rent.
00:16:42Also, any reasonable expense for clothes.
00:16:44You're always to be well-dressed.
00:16:48I see.
00:16:49I'll pay you $100 a week.
00:16:53Well, what on earth can I do to earn all that money?
00:16:56Nothing very exciting.
00:16:57Nothing very hard.
00:16:59But you'll be subject to my call night or day.
00:17:03Well, that requires an explanation.
00:17:07There's nothing to explain.
00:17:09Nothing to be afraid of.
00:17:10I'm handling a deal which necessitates my being seen at times
00:17:16with an attractive girl who looks well-bred.
00:17:20You look it.
00:17:23Thanks.
00:17:25You have brains.
00:17:27I must have a girl with brains.
00:17:29And, most important of all,
00:17:31you've got to keep your mouth shut.
00:17:34Meaning?
00:17:36Just exactly that.
00:17:37When you can't remember anything else,
00:17:41don't talk.
00:17:43Well, I learned to keep my mouth shut a long time ago.
00:17:46I assure you that everything is all right
00:17:48and nothing will happen to you.
00:17:51Is it a bargain?
00:17:54Yes.
00:17:54Here's $600.
00:18:08Five for clothes in advance.
00:18:12Joe.
00:18:14Why, I've never had so much money before in all my...
00:18:17You'll probably have a lot more if you do as I tell you.
00:18:20Tell Al to bring the car around.
00:18:22Miss Monica's leaving.
00:18:22Al has the key to your apartment
00:18:27and will help you if you need him.
00:18:31I'll see you at 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
00:18:3310 o'clock.
00:18:35Is that all you have to say?
00:18:38Well, you told me to keep my mouth shut.
00:18:42You win.
00:18:43You win.
00:18:43Say, who's the redhead with Pravice?
00:18:58I've never seen her before.
00:19:02I've got something very important I want to tell you.
00:19:05All right.
00:19:06Hello, Pravice.
00:19:20Hello, Morgan.
00:19:21Sit down.
00:19:22Miss Lee.
00:19:24This is Mr. Pravice B.
00:19:26How do you do?
00:19:27I've heard about you.
00:19:28Oh, so you're going to try it again, eh?
00:19:36After that last sellout.
00:19:39Meet Mrs. Travers.
00:19:42How do you like the silver moon, Mrs. Travers?
00:19:46She loves it.
00:19:51She raves about it.
00:19:54You've got things pretty well sewed up in this part of town.
00:19:58Uh-huh.
00:19:59They're going to stay that way, too.
00:20:02Maybe you're right.
00:20:03But I wouldn't be too sure.
00:20:07Come up to my plate.
00:20:09I'm doing real well.
00:20:11And spreading out a bit.
00:20:13You'd be in a good spot if you'd stay up there.
00:20:17Maybe I'm ambitious.
00:20:19Like you.
00:20:20Really?
00:20:21Yeah.
00:20:23This is quite a place.
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26Quite a place.
00:20:28But you can never tell when a storm will come up.
00:20:31No.
00:20:32But I'm always prepared.
00:20:38Well, V.
00:20:39Let's toddle along.
00:20:43Goodbye, dearie.
00:20:44You've got a great line of conversation.
00:20:48Good night, Mrs. Travers.
00:20:59I thought you didn't smoke.
00:21:02I don't.
00:21:04You'll do.
00:21:06You got dance?
00:21:07All right.
00:21:08You certainly know how to keep your mouth shut.
00:21:30Did I overdo it?
00:21:31No.
00:21:31It's been interesting.
00:21:36Rather.
00:21:52It's getting a bit stuffy in here, Mr. Travers.
00:21:54Wouldn't you rather have dinner in the private dining room?
00:21:56That's a good idea.
00:21:58What do you think?
00:22:00This way, please.
00:22:14Morgan just left.
00:22:17Is my car waiting?
00:22:18In the alley.
00:22:19Good.
00:22:20Good.
00:22:20And now, Lynn, lesson number two.
00:22:36I'm going to leave you alone for exactly three minutes.
00:22:38In just ten minutes, supper will be served.
00:22:42After the waiter has left the room, close and lock the door.
00:22:45Then arrange the table as though we'd been eating.
00:22:48If anyone should happen to drop in,
00:22:51I've just stepped out to telephone.
00:22:55Understand?
00:22:57In the end of that, keep my mouth shut.
00:23:01Right.
00:23:01Hello, Cochran.
00:23:21Hello, Chief.
00:23:22Miss Travers here?
00:23:23In a private dining room with a redhead.
00:23:25A redhead, eh?
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:27Let's have a look.
00:23:27Oh, Harry.
00:23:47Travers here?
00:23:49Travers expecting you?
00:23:50I don't know whether he's expecting me or not,
00:23:52but I want to see him.
00:23:54And in the place.
00:23:54Mr. Travers?
00:23:58Mr. Travers?
00:24:01Mr. Travers?
00:24:02Here, here.
00:24:05Come on out, Travers.
00:24:09Come on, Travers.
00:24:10Open up.
00:24:14Open up or I'll break it down.
00:24:15What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
00:24:31A pineapple.
00:24:33A pineapple.
00:24:34I suppose you don't know anything about it.
00:24:37I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.
00:24:41No?
00:24:42I've been here all evening.
00:24:43Have you been here all evening?
00:24:53Yes.
00:24:54Mr. Travers and I have been here since 10.30.
00:25:03Dear, may I present my old friend, Mr. Regan?
00:25:08Mrs. Travers.
00:25:09Oh, Mrs. Travers.
00:25:14How do you do?
00:25:15How do you do?
00:25:17And now, gentlemen, may we be excused?
00:25:21Why, yes, of course.
00:25:28Whoever planted that pineapple certainly didn't do Morgan's place any good.
00:25:32No?
00:25:33No?
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:37Well, I'm happy to have met you, Mrs. Travers.
00:25:51Any questions?
00:25:54Yes.
00:25:54What's the pineapple?
00:25:58A fruit.
00:26:00It grows in Hawaii.
00:26:03Oh.
00:26:10I'm as usual to be the dumb, Mrs. Travers.
00:26:12Opposing as my wife has been rather embarrassing to you, hasn't it?
00:26:18Well, you are paying me a salary.
00:26:21Oh, I'm sorry you feel that way about it.
00:26:23Oh, I'm getting used to it.
00:26:25Do you like it?
00:26:29Well, do you?
00:26:31Why don't you answer?
00:26:32You told me when I couldn't think of anything else to say to keep my mouth shut.
00:26:36Well, that's encouraging.
00:26:41Our host knows the Travers' peculiarities about separate rooms.
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:46And everybody thinks I'm crazy.
00:26:49Well, maybe I am.
00:26:52Oh, I don't think so.
00:27:06Why don't you go to your room, dear?
00:27:33Lynne.
00:27:41Well, I think I will.
00:27:42I'm awfully with you.
00:27:49Good night.
00:27:52Good night.
00:27:53Good night.
00:28:03Good night.
00:28:26Smoke?
00:28:29Travers' smoke's only the best.
00:28:32Hear that?
00:28:33Ride in a motorboat.
00:28:37Different, don't you think?
00:28:39Neat.
00:29:39We'll make an antique out of him.
00:29:41Well, we'll get down there. He'll be there at 8.
00:29:44Wait a minute.
00:29:45There's no slip-up on this.
00:29:48I'll go myself.
00:29:49Wait a minute, Ross.
00:29:50We can.
00:29:50I'll go myself.
00:29:52Okay.
00:29:54Have a drink.
00:29:54All right.
00:29:56Have a car ready. I'll be right down.
00:29:58All right.
00:29:59Skylar 83527.
00:30:10Hello, Lynn.
00:30:12Oh, hello, dear.
00:30:12Yes, I'm ready.
00:30:20Oh.
00:30:22We're not going?
00:30:23No, we're going to the theater instead.
00:30:26Don't rest.
00:30:28I'll call for you in 20 minutes.
00:30:31So be ready.
00:30:32Oh, all right, dear.
00:30:33I'll hurry.
00:30:35Goodbye.
00:30:35Goodbye.
00:30:35We'll be back in a minute, honey.
00:30:59We'll be back in a minute.
00:31:29Hey, what's the big idea?
00:31:53You think this is 4th of July?
00:31:55Well, you see, officers, the motor was clogged up, and I was trying to fix it.
00:31:59Well, cut it out, or I'll give you a ticket.
00:32:01Okay.
00:32:12Chris, what happened?
00:32:14Shut up.
00:32:14Police!
00:32:15Police!
00:32:16Police!
00:32:17The man's been killed!
00:32:18Police!
00:32:23Hey, you!
00:32:25Come down here!
00:32:26Follow that car!
00:32:31All right.
00:32:34Pull yourself together.
00:32:36It's either Morgan's life or mine.
00:32:39You'll get away from me in the morning from Cleveland.
00:32:42I've been there since Sunday night.
00:32:46Here.
00:32:48Ditch that when you get away from the car.
00:32:49And remember, keep your mouth shut.
00:32:54Goodbye.
00:32:54Okay.
00:32:54Here we go.
00:33:24Just a minute, young lady.
00:33:44We want to talk to you.
00:33:45Who are you?
00:33:51Oh, I remember.
00:33:52Come in, Cochran.
00:33:54Go ahead, then.
00:33:56And take your hat off.
00:34:04I've seen you before, haven't I?
00:34:07Yes, it's Silver Moon.
00:34:08Are you Mrs. Travers?
00:34:10No, I'm not Mrs. Travers.
00:34:22You were his girl, eh?
00:34:25I was.
00:34:27Were you out with him last night?
00:34:29No.
00:34:35Morgan was knocked off last night, and we think that Travers knows who did the job.
00:34:42Where were you last night?
00:34:46Here.
00:34:48Oh.
00:34:49Here?
00:34:51I didn't go out all evening.
00:34:54Where is Travers?
00:34:58He's in Cleveland.
00:35:03He's in Cleveland.
00:35:04I'm laughing myself to death.
00:35:11You don't look like the sort of a girl that would be mixed up with a man in Travers' business.
00:35:15I didn't know the business he was in until I read the newspapers this morning.
00:35:20How long have you been with Travers?
00:35:22Just a few months.
00:35:23I've been drawing a salary.
00:35:27A red-haired alibi.
00:35:38You don't look dumb.
00:35:41Did Travers ever ask you to carry a gun?
00:35:44Ever shove a gun in your hand and ask you to duck with it and then chuck it?
00:35:50No.
00:35:51Why don't you go through a thing?
00:35:52Oh, shut up.
00:35:54Travers isn't leaving any tracks.
00:35:56And you couldn't make this girl talk even if you third-degree did.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:04You don't look like a bad girl.
00:36:09I'm not.
00:36:11He was going to marry you?
00:36:14Sure.
00:36:16He was going to marry me.
00:36:17And you didn't know he was a big shot?
00:36:19No.
00:36:20You see, I knew he had power.
00:36:22And I thought he was on the level.
00:36:24I...
00:36:24Oh, I don't know what I thought.
00:36:27He was just leading you on, and you didn't get wise to his line, eh?
00:36:31Perhaps.
00:36:32Were you planning on sticking around until the fireworks popped?
00:36:42Until I read the paper morning, I didn't know what I'd let myself in for.
00:36:44Well, I might have guessed what Travers was if I'd have tried very hard, but...
00:36:50You see, I...
00:36:52I loved him.
00:36:56Well, I...
00:36:57I haven't been very bright, I guess.
00:36:59And perhaps I didn't want to know.
00:37:01Anyway, I made a mess of things, and I'm...
00:37:06I'm going to walk out on him.
00:37:10Are you going to stop me?
00:37:16Does Travers know you're leaving?
00:37:18No.
00:37:19He's in Cleveland.
00:37:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:37:24Oh, shut up.
00:37:29Now, listen.
00:37:31I'm being kind to you, and I'll give it to you straight.
00:37:35Land.
00:37:35And do it before Morgan's outfit goes into action.
00:37:39You know, taxes are high, and it costs a lot of money to keep up the mark.
00:37:43Well, so long, young lady, and take a tip from an old copper who's seen a lot of pretty
00:37:50girls who'll slap.
00:37:52Pick yourself out a nice little date and lay.
00:37:56Thanks.
00:37:58Okay, Cochran.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:00It is very difficult to find a position for anyone without reference to this, Mona.
00:38:17Well, I explained that they were lost with my baggie.
00:38:19I'm sorry, but I can't do anything for you.
00:38:23You mentioned a job as a nurse, and I love children.
00:38:27No, uh, I don't think so.
00:38:32My client is hard to please, and very particular.
00:38:45Any luck today, Mrs. Johnson?
00:38:46No, Mr. Sheldon.
00:38:48Aren't you going to speak to me, Mr. Sheldon?
00:38:50Uh, Lynn, for goodness sake, Lynn Moneth, how are you?
00:38:55Fine.
00:38:55Well, I'm sick to death in New York, and looking for a job in White Plains.
00:38:59Is that right?
00:39:00Yes.
00:39:01May we talk in here, Mrs. Johnson?
00:39:02Well, a six minutes ago.
00:39:04Sit down.
00:39:08You know, I've thought of you more than once since the night we went to the vanities.
00:39:11Oh, the roses you sent me were lovely.
00:39:13I'm glad you liked them.
00:39:14Did you tell your wife you took me?
00:39:17No.
00:39:18She never came back.
00:39:20Oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:22Things often turn out that way.
00:39:24You're a strange girl.
00:39:27Why?
00:39:28Oh, I don't know.
00:39:30You impress me as being quite sophisticated, and at the same time, rather naive.
00:39:37Well, I suppose I'm a little of both.
00:39:40Life mixes up the two after you've waited through it a few years.
00:39:44That's right, it does.
00:39:45I want my daughter to grow up with the knowledge that everything in life isn't superficial.
00:39:52How old is she?
00:39:53Nearly four years old now.
00:39:56Were you serious about wanting a job?
00:39:59Oh, I'd love to take care of a little girl.
00:40:01You would?
00:40:01Yes.
00:40:02When can you start?
00:40:04Right now.
00:40:05Fine.
00:40:16Oh, it's lovely.
00:40:17You like it?
00:40:19Wait a minute.
00:40:20Margaret!
00:40:23Margaret, bring Gloria down.
00:40:24Yes, sir.
00:40:25Hi.
00:40:29Hello, Daddy.
00:40:30Hello, honey.
00:40:31Hello.
00:40:31Is she going to be my new mama?
00:40:51Well, no, no.
00:40:54What's your name?
00:40:56Lynn.
00:40:56Lynn what?
00:40:57Mona.
00:40:58Are you going to stay here?
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:01Well, why don't you take off your hat?
00:41:08Now, does that suit you better?
00:41:11Yeah.
00:41:12Oh, she's a little doll.
00:41:15Well, you're going to get along.
00:41:19Why don't you come up, Dad, and see my toy?
00:41:22Oh, I'd love to.
00:41:24Good night, darling.
00:41:25Good night.
00:41:26And will you go to bed and be a real good girl?
00:41:29Yeah.
00:41:29Well, you won't go away and leave me with your land.
00:41:34Oh, no, darling, I won't.
00:41:38And will you stay here to my big girl?
00:41:42Oh, yes, gracious, I will do.
00:41:45Now, give me a good kiss.
00:41:47Oh, sweet.
00:41:48Now, what a bit.
00:41:49I'll see you in the morning.
00:42:02All right, Liz.
00:42:06Good night, darling.
00:42:07Good night.
00:42:08Good night.
00:42:30Good night.
00:42:32Lynn, are you happy here?
00:42:42Yes.
00:42:44You'll never know how happy I am.
00:42:47I'm glad.
00:42:48I don't know what we'd do without you.
00:42:51Well, that's sweet of you to say that.
00:42:54I mean it.
00:42:56Gloria loves you, Lynn.
00:43:00And so do I.
00:43:02Will you marry me?
00:43:14But you don't know anything about me.
00:43:16I don't want to.
00:43:18I love you.
00:43:20And I want you to be better.
00:43:22I love you.
00:43:23I love you.
00:43:32Well, Lynn, do you realize this is the first time you've been to New York since we've been married?
00:43:47It is, isn't it?
00:43:51New York.
00:43:54I don't like it.
00:43:56It's like some great machine grinding, grinding.
00:44:00Oh, it frightens me.
00:44:02I hate to leave home, even for an hour.
00:44:07Even to take you to the station.
00:44:11It's so quiet and peaceful here.
00:44:13You love our home, don't you?
00:44:15Wouldn't you?
00:44:17It was the first real home you'd ever known.
00:44:19You bet I would.
00:44:21Well, come on.
00:44:22You wait here for Mr. Shelton.
00:44:48Water.
00:44:49I've got to get out of town.
00:45:11Trent, they're gunning for you.
00:45:14I know it.
00:45:19Now, listen.
00:45:23Try Patterson.
00:45:25And tell him I expect him to come through.
00:45:27He's pretty tough.
00:45:29Go on.
00:45:39You hurry home, and don't forget to promise Gloria a nice present.
00:45:42Oh, if I could.
00:45:44More!
00:45:44Bye.
00:45:49Bye.
00:45:50Bye.
00:45:51Bye.
00:45:52Bye.
00:45:53Bye.
00:45:54Bye.
00:45:55Bye.
00:45:56Bye.
00:45:57Bye.
00:45:58Bye.
00:45:59Bye.
00:46:00Bye.
00:46:01Bye.
00:46:02Bye.
00:46:03Bye.
00:46:04Bye.
00:46:05Bye.
00:46:06Bye.
00:46:07Bye.
00:46:08Bye.
00:46:09Bye.
00:46:10Bye.
00:46:11Bye.
00:46:12Bye.
00:46:13Bye.
00:46:14Bye.
00:46:15Bye.
00:46:16Bye.
00:46:17Bye.
00:46:18I'm sorry.
00:46:48Follow that limousine.
00:47:18This is Shelton, please.
00:47:33Thank you, sir.
00:47:35See you, Seamy.
00:47:38Just a moment, please.
00:47:48It's all right, Barton.
00:47:49Yes.
00:47:54What do you want?
00:47:55Can we talk here?
00:47:57What do you want?
00:47:58Can we talk here?
00:48:00Yes.
00:48:01Well, all right.
00:48:02Now, listen, I'm in a jam, and you've got to help me.
00:48:06How did you find me?
00:48:07Saw you at the station in Trailer.
00:48:10New York is a small place.
00:48:12Well, what is it you want?
00:48:14I've got to get out of the country.
00:48:16My life isn't worth a nickel.
00:48:18I'm broke.
00:48:20And you're going to lend me $10,000.
00:48:29Well, where on earth can I get it?
00:48:35You married a rich man, didn't you?
00:48:37You're a smart girl.
00:48:39Get it from him.
00:48:40I can't ask him.
00:48:41Now, listen.
00:48:42I'm cornered.
00:48:44You've got to help me.
00:48:45I'll meet you at 8.30 at Peacock Inn.
00:48:48I can't.
00:48:49You're going to.
00:48:51I'll be in a private room on the north side.
00:48:54Come through the windows off the veranda, and you won't be seen.
00:48:56No, I won't.
00:49:00Now, listen.
00:49:02This is a good time for you to do some fast thinking and keep your mouth shut.
00:49:06You always were a clam.
00:49:07Well, be one now.
00:49:10Come through for me, or I'll...
00:49:13You mean...
00:49:15You tell my husband...
00:49:16Just try me.
00:49:19Come through for me.
00:49:32Hello, Mommy.
00:49:34Hello, Johnny.
00:49:37Where's my present?
00:49:39Well, I'm going to get it tomorrow, dear.
00:49:42All right.
00:49:43I'm going to get it tomorrow.
00:50:13Lynn, you're more beautiful than ever.
00:50:30Take off your coat.
00:50:31I want to look at you.
00:50:33No, I can't say.
00:50:35You're going to do as I say.
00:50:38I can't have the way to see me.
00:50:40I've been here before with my husband.
00:50:44That door is locked.
00:50:45You can step out that window under the veranda if anyone comes.
00:50:55Come here.
00:51:01Now, take off the coat.
00:51:03No, I'd better leave it on if I'm going to step outside.
00:51:05No.
00:51:07Oh, well, all right.
00:51:08All right.
00:51:08May I have the order, sir?
00:51:36I'm not quite ready yet.
00:51:38Come back in a few minutes.
00:51:3930 minutes.
00:51:45Lynn.
00:51:46He's gone.
00:51:56Well, where's the money?
00:51:57I didn't bring it.
00:52:03What?
00:52:05I couldn't.
00:52:08My husband is out of town.
00:52:10And besides, I...
00:52:14I won't ask.
00:52:16Now, listen.
00:52:24You're a smart girl.
00:52:27Why let a little thing like a husband stand in the way?
00:52:31I told you I can't.
00:52:33You can't, eh?
00:52:34You mean you won't?
00:52:36Yes.
00:52:37Why, you little fool.
00:52:40Did it ever occur to you that the police might be interested in finding a certain red-haired girl
00:52:44known as Mrs. Robert Shelton
00:52:45who handled the gun that killed Morgan?
00:52:48Oh, no.
00:52:49No, you wouldn't do that.
00:52:50I wouldn't, eh?
00:52:50All right, then.
00:52:52You're going to get me that money.
00:52:55I can't.
00:53:06Operator.
00:53:07Give me police headquarters.
00:53:09What are you going to do?
00:53:11Tell the police where they can find a certain red-haired girl.
00:53:14Hello, police headquarters.
00:53:21Let me talk to the captain of detective.
00:53:32Always work.
00:53:33Smart girl.
00:53:42Hello.
00:53:42I'm sure I heard a shot.
00:53:44Take that call, then.
00:54:08Who was it?
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:11Peacock in.
00:54:13There's something wrong, all right.
00:54:15We'd better investigate.
00:54:16Okay.
00:54:39What's the trouble here?
00:54:43I skidded and saw my motor.
00:54:45Not out of gas, are you?
00:54:46No, I used to choke so much that I had fun of the carburetor, I guess.
00:54:49Well, turn off your switch and close your throttle.
00:54:52Then step on your starter.
00:54:54Then turn on your switch and open your throttle.
00:54:56Maybe that'll help you.
00:54:57Well, I've been trying that for the last ten minutes.
00:54:58Well, come on.
00:54:59Do something.
00:54:59I'm in a hurry.
00:55:00Get out of here.
00:55:01Come on.
00:55:01Start it up.
00:55:04That's it.
00:55:05Come on, then.
00:55:06Bring that car on there.
00:55:07Come on, bring that car.
00:55:31Can't hear a shot, eh?
00:55:33Look at this.
00:55:34I only saw the door.
00:55:38Good thing we came down.
00:55:40Yes.
00:55:44What do those doors open, aren't you?
00:55:46A small terrace.
00:55:48You see, in summertime, we have the flowers and light.
00:55:51Never mind the decoration.
00:55:52Is that the back of the house?
00:55:54Yes.
00:55:55He asked me for a private dining room on the north side, the back of the house,
00:56:00with a window which opens until the balcony.
00:56:04What's his name?
00:56:05Smith.
00:56:06Mr. John Smith.
00:56:08Well, well, our old friend Mr. John Smith, eh?
00:56:11Uh-huh.
00:56:13You ever seen Mr. Smith before?
00:56:14No.
00:56:15Excuse me.
00:56:17But somewhere, someplace in New York, I have seen that man.
00:56:21Oh, I see him in New York.
00:56:23Yes, sir.
00:56:24Well, that helps.
00:56:25Only a few people live in New York.
00:56:27Now let's have a look at him.
00:56:29Oh, this is terrible, terrible.
00:56:32Travis.
00:56:33So it is.
00:56:36Trent Travis, parading as John Smith.
00:56:39Huh?
00:56:40Kent Thomas!
00:56:42What do you think, Kent?
00:56:43It don't mean we, Kent Thomas!
00:56:45Yeah.
00:56:45Oh, this will ruin me.
00:56:47It will ruin me.
00:56:49Who else was in the room?
00:56:49Well, the time I came in, he was alone.
00:56:52The door was locked.
00:56:53I knocked and he let me in.
00:56:55Did you hear any voices?
00:56:56Well, I, I listened when I came out.
00:57:01So!
00:57:03You are a snooper!
00:57:04Why do you listen when you're supposed not to, huh?
00:57:08Sometimes it is very interesting.
00:57:11Now you listen to me.
00:57:12You hardly...
00:57:13Cut it, Margolly.
00:57:14What did you hear?
00:57:15Well, I heard a woman's voice say, oh no, you wouldn't do that.
00:57:20What was he doing?
00:57:22Well, that, sir, I, I don't know.
00:57:27But just then, I heard a man say, well, how about getting me that money?
00:57:33And then some people came along and spoiled everything.
00:57:37I notify New York, they are looking for him.
00:57:41Now, get the coroner.
00:57:44Help!
00:57:45Help!
00:57:45Down here.
00:57:46Never stand there.
00:57:47This is Captain Kent speaking.
00:57:48They got him, eh?
00:57:54Morgan's gang put Travers on the spot.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:00I'll be there in about an hour.
00:58:03A dame?
00:58:06There usually is.
00:58:12I'm going to White Plains, McCartney.
00:58:13I'll see you in the morning.
00:58:19Hello, Kent.
00:58:20Hello, Regan.
00:58:21Thanks very much for your cooperation in that Branigan chase.
00:58:23Always like to do what I can to help.
00:58:27The carter removed the body.
00:58:29Well, you said there was a woman mixed up in this.
00:58:31What is she?
00:58:31That's what I'd like to know.
00:58:33Well, didn't anybody see her or get a description of her?
00:58:37You're a waiter served out of here.
00:58:39Did you see the woman when you served them?
00:58:43Well, sir, I think she must have stepped out on the carriage when I came in the door.
00:58:48Oh, and you didn't get a good look at her, eh?
00:58:50No, sir.
00:58:50But he heard her voice.
00:58:51What did she say?
00:58:53She said, oh, no, no.
00:58:55You wouldn't do that.
00:58:58Do what?
00:58:58Well, that, sir, I do not know.
00:59:03But then, then the man said, well, how about giving me that money?
00:59:10Oh, now calm yourself.
00:59:12Don't get excited.
00:59:13Well, I can't stop it sometimes, sir.
00:59:16I'm so emotional.
00:59:18I see.
00:59:19Well, just then some people came along, and I had to leave.
00:59:23Oh, that's too bad.
00:59:25Oh, but I came back.
00:59:27And then I heard him calling her by some funny name.
00:59:32Funny name, eh?
00:59:33What did it sound like?
00:59:35Lin...
00:59:36Lin...
00:59:37Lin...
00:59:38Lin...
00:59:39Lin...
00:59:41Lin...
00:59:42The Red-Haired Alibi.
00:59:45Now that you mention it, I do remember that he said,
00:59:49something about the police being interested in the red-haired woman
00:59:52that handled the gun in some murder case.
00:59:56But I don't remember the name.
00:59:58Was it Morgan?
01:00:00Morgan.
01:00:01That was it.
01:00:02Morgan.
01:00:03Morgan.
01:00:04You know her, Egan?
01:00:05Yes, that is, if it's the woman I think it is,
01:00:07she used to be Travers' girl.
01:00:09She walked out on him at the time that Morgan was killed
01:00:11and came up here to White Plains.
01:00:13Later, she married a man by the name of Shelton.
01:00:16She seemed to be a very nice girl,
01:00:18and I gave her a break.
01:00:20I hadn't quite cleaned up on the Morgan case at that time,
01:00:22and I kept track of her.
01:00:25You know where Shelton lives, don't you?
01:00:26Yes.
01:00:27Well, let's go up there.
01:00:28All right, but we'd better see the coroner first.
01:00:30Okay.
01:00:35Shelton, then?
01:00:36Well, is Mr. Shelton expecting you, sir?
01:00:39No, but I think she'll see us.
01:00:41Tell her Mr. Kent and Mr. Egan are here,
01:00:43and it is very important.
01:00:45Yes, sir.
01:00:46Just a minute, sir.
01:00:52She's done pretty well for her.
01:00:55Hmm, they usually do.
01:00:56Mr. Kent and Mr. Regan to see you, madam.
01:01:00What do they want?
01:01:01Mr. Kent said it was quite important.
01:01:04Oh.
01:01:05Well, all right, I'll see them.
01:01:06Very good, man.
01:01:10See you, gentlemen.
01:01:12Take your coat, sir.
01:01:13Oh.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:43Do you wish to see me?
01:01:55Yes, Mr. Shelton.
01:01:57I am Mrs. Mr. Regan.
01:01:59Kent, Mr. Egan.
01:02:02You don't remember me?
01:02:05No.
01:02:06Although your voice sounds familiar.
01:02:09I talked to you earlier this evening on Lane Road.
01:02:12Well, you remember.
01:02:15What is it?
01:02:17What do you want?
01:02:19Haven't you better sit down, Mrs. Shelton?
01:02:29Haven't I seen you before?
01:02:31It's possible.
01:02:33I've been around New York for nearly 50 years.
01:02:36I think you'll remember.
01:02:38I remember you.
01:02:41Yes.
01:02:42I know.
01:02:43You know why we're here, of course.
01:02:46Yes.
01:02:48You're in a tough spot, Mrs. Shelton.
01:02:51I know.
01:02:55Do you think a person is ever justified in killing another?
01:02:59Well, there are a lot of people without whom the world would be better off.
01:03:06I'm glad to hear you say that.
01:03:08Why?
01:03:11Perhaps I can make you understand, then, why I killed Trent Travis.
01:03:17Anything you say may be used against you.
01:03:19Oh, I'm not worried about myself, about my husband and Gloria.
01:03:26Had I had less confidence in my ability to take care of myself and keep out of trouble,
01:03:31I probably wouldn't have had any beginning with Trent Travis.
01:03:36Eventually, I found out who he was and what he was.
01:03:40And then I realized what I had been.
01:03:46I hated myself.
01:03:47I hated New York.
01:03:49And I tried to put it all behind me and out of my mind as nearly as I could.
01:03:52And then I came here to White Plains and met and married Robert Shelton.
01:04:03Trent Travis came back into my life today.
01:04:06He threatened my happiness.
01:04:08It was to preserve it that I went to the Peacock Inn tonight.
01:04:11He demanded money.
01:04:13A loan, he called it.
01:04:15A sum of money I couldn't possibly get without revealing everything to my husband.
01:04:19That's why I killed him.
01:04:24Did you keep the gun or did you throw it away, Mr. Shelton?
01:04:27I have it.
01:04:28My husband.
01:04:29May I see it, please?
01:04:32Yes, I'll do.
01:04:35That's all right.
01:04:37She's been back.
01:04:42What do you think?
01:04:44So what do you think?
01:04:45As far as I'm concerned, it's a cut and dried case.
01:04:50Yes.
01:04:59Hello.
01:05:01Hello, baby.
01:05:06Where's my mama?
01:05:08Why, your mama just stepped out for a minute.
01:05:12What's your name, darling?
01:05:14Gloria Shelton.
01:05:16Gloria Shelton.
01:05:17Oh, isn't that great?
01:05:20You know, I got a little niece just about her age.
01:05:25That's too bad.
01:05:27Nice home.
01:05:29Nice baby.
01:05:30From what she says, a good husband.
01:05:39Gloria's here.
01:05:41Here, I'll take her.
01:05:42Let me hold her.
01:05:46You might have been arrested immediately.
01:05:48I'm afraid so.
01:05:49Why, this is a .32.
01:06:00What?
01:06:01Let me see.
01:06:02You may have shot at Travers, Mrs. Shelton, but the bullet that killed him was fired from a .45-caliber gun.
01:06:22You see, there were a lot of people gunning for that man.
01:06:25The Morgan crowd, more than likely.
01:06:27I guess that's right.
01:06:28I'm sure it's right.
01:06:36Are you sure that was a .45?
01:06:38Positive.
01:06:39The medical examiner has the bullet.
01:06:45Then I'm not going to be arrested?
01:06:48No.
01:06:50Are you satisfied, Kent?
01:06:52All right with me.
01:06:53Okay.
01:06:53Okay.
01:06:53Okay.
01:07:00Good night.
01:07:01Good night.
01:07:02Good night.
01:07:05What are you crying for?
01:07:10Good night.
