00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00The End
01:30Oh, Frankie, where have you been?
01:47They're caught in a traffic jam.
01:50Boy, look at that new reception.
01:52She's a honey.
01:53You'd better forget about her and put your uniform on.
01:58You know how Mr. Farrell is about us being late?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Plenty of time, my boy.
02:02Plenty of time.
02:03Now, if you'll excuse me.
02:08Good morning.
02:09Oh, good morning.
02:09May I help you?
02:10Uh, yes.
02:11Would you see if there's any mail to me, please?
02:12Good morning, Amy.
02:13Oh, thanks.
02:14Perhaps you'd better tell me your name first.
02:15Oh, yes, of course.
02:16Ryan.
02:17Frankie Ryan.
02:19What's yours?
02:20Aunt Nathan.
02:20No, there's nothing for you, Mr. Ryan.
02:23All right, thank you.
02:25Good morning.
02:25Say, you're new here, aren't you?
02:27Mm-hmm.
02:27Just started this morning.
02:28Mm-hmm.
02:29From out of town?
02:30Uh-huh.
02:31Well, which is it?
02:32Singer or an actress?
02:33Oh, singer.
02:34Singer, I've always wanted to be in radio, and this is as close as I could get.
02:39But how do you know all this?
02:40Oh, well, you see, all our employees would like to be on the air, but, well, a lot of
02:44them are pretty good, too.
02:45But, well, you see, most of them just don't get an opportunity.
02:48Singer, huh?
02:50Say, uh, has anybody auditioned you yet?
02:52Oh, no, not yet.
02:53Well, we'll have to take care of that right away.
02:56Right away?
02:57You mean right now?
02:58Why, sure.
02:59There's no time like the present, you know.
03:01Well, what about my job here?
03:02Oh, well, that can wait.
03:04This is important.
03:05You see, the radio field is always open to new talent.
03:07And, well, yours might be just the voice we're looking for.
03:10You're very kind, Mr. Ryan, but I don't think I do.
03:13Oh, no, no, no.
03:13I won't take no for an answer.
03:15Come on.
03:16Stella, you watch the desk, will you?
03:18We're going to audition Miss Mason.
03:19You're what?
03:20You heard me.
03:21Audition Miss Mason.
03:21Right this way, Miss Mason.
03:23Well, the rules, uh...
03:25Mr. Frank, I can't.
03:27I got the jitters plumped down to my toes.
03:29Suppose that...
03:30Well, what's the matter, Jeff?
03:31You're doing fine.
03:31Now, come on, try it again.
03:33Are you sure this is all right, Mr. Ryan?
03:34Oh, of course it's all right, Miss Mason.
03:37Jeff is just worried because we're using this office instead of the regular audition.
03:40It makes no difference where we is.
03:41If that Mr...
03:42Jeff!
03:43Uh, are you ready, Miss Mason?
03:45Yes.
03:47Nervous?
03:47A little.
03:48Oh, well, that's only natural.
03:49We're all that way at first.
03:52All right, Jeff, go ahead.
03:54Well, good luck.
03:56Go on, Jeff.
03:57I'm not superstitious
04:08And I don't believe in wishes
04:12But I've a hunch that things will happen soon
04:16Every sign must show it
04:23That I love you
04:25And you know it
04:28It looks like another lucky pair in view
04:34By the looks of things
04:38I like the looks of things
04:41Oh, how you change me
04:44Rearrange me
04:46By the looks of things
04:48Never thought a kiss
04:51Would make me feel like this
04:54To be specific
04:57It's terrific
04:58Living a life of bliss
05:01What a thrill to share your loving glances
05:06Oh, how sweet romantic
05:10You're the reason my heart sings
05:13And my heart dances
05:15By the looks of things
05:17You change the looks of things
05:21So goodbye, blue world
05:24It's a new world
05:25By the looks of things
05:27Thought I only had a lovesick notion
05:33But this new commotion
05:36Was a revelation of a sweet devotion
05:41By the looks of things
05:44You change the looks of things
05:47My life is pleasing
05:50You're the reason
05:52By the looks of things
05:54Wow!
05:57Ain't that something?
05:58Mr. Frankie!
05:59Say, you have got a voice
06:01That was great
06:02Oh, thank you
06:02I'm glad you liked it
06:04Liked it?
06:04Why, say, with a voice like that
06:05You've got no business
06:06Behind a reception desk
06:07I can see you now
06:08A star, your name
06:09We all won't be seeing stars
06:11If we don't get out of here
06:12That Mr. Frown
06:13I thought I'd find you here
06:15A few old tricks again, huh?
06:18This ain't my idea
06:19I know whose idea it is
06:21Oh, Mr. Farrell
06:23This is Miss Mason
06:24She's got a wonderful voice
06:25The greatest you've ever heard
06:26Well, how do you do, Mr. Farrell?
06:27How do you do?
06:28And don't try to evade the issue
06:29Why aren't you in uniform?
06:30And why aren't you at work?
06:31You took the words
06:32Right out of my mouth
06:33Well, we didn't mean any harm, Mr. Farrell
06:36That's not the point
06:37One more shenanigan like this
06:39And you're going to find yourself
06:40Out of a job
06:41Yes, sir
06:42Now get busy
06:42See if you can find Miss Wilson
06:43She's holding up the rehearsal
06:44Yes, sir
06:45Right away
06:45I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Farrell
06:50I didn't know
06:51It wasn't your fault
06:52I know that
06:52Well, then I won't move my job
06:54Of course not
06:55Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Farrell
06:57Not at all
06:58Mr. Farrell will call you
07:00And he wishes to see you
07:01Yes, Mr. Hastings
07:02Say, Ann
07:02Have Rita Wilson
07:03Report to Mr. Hastings
07:04As soon as she comes in
07:05All right
07:05Miss Wilson, please
07:06Oh, Paige
07:08Paige, front, please
07:13Oh, Paige
07:17When Miss Wilson comes in
07:19Have her see Mr. Hastings at once
07:20It's important
07:21Look, Ann
07:22Will you forget about your
07:23That'll be all
07:23Paige
07:24That's nice work, honey
07:26You sure put him in his place
07:28Well, he needed a lesson
07:29But he is kind of cute
07:33Miss Wilson
07:35If you please
07:36This way
07:36This way
07:37Excuse me, Miss Wilson
07:41What is it?
07:42Mr. Hastings
07:43Would like to see you
07:43In his office right away
07:44It's all for today
07:45Some other time
07:46And Mr. Farrell
07:48Is waiting for you
07:48In Studio A
07:49Tell Mr. Farrell
07:50I'll see him
07:50As soon as I talk
07:51To Mr. Hastings
07:51Yes, ma'am
07:52But you must be sensible, Rita
07:59I am being sensible, DJ
08:01Just the way I like to be
08:02Sure, and at my expense
08:04Now, you listen to me, Rita
08:05You listen to me, Sam Quigley
08:06I've been pushed around
08:07By you two long enough
08:08Either I get my way
08:10Or I quit
08:11That's final
08:12But you can't do that
08:13Oh, can't I?
08:15Well, you just watch
08:15Now, now, let's be calm
08:17Let's not lose our heads
08:18About this thing
08:19I'm surprised at you, BJ
08:21Getting her all upset like this
08:23Well, when she told me
08:24Now, now, I'll take over
08:25From here
08:25Now, Rita
08:27Why can't you be a good girl?
08:28I am a good girl
08:29Well, you know what I mean
08:31Give up this silly idea
08:32Of leaving us
08:32For the Deniglo people
08:33Haven't we made you happy here?
08:35No
08:36We gave you a raise
08:37And sorry, didn't we?
08:38No, what?
08:38So, we pay you
08:39As much as any sponsor
08:40Can afford
08:41What do we have to do
08:42To please you?
08:43Why, hasn't Mr. Hastings
08:45Told you?
08:46Told me what?
08:47What is this, BJ?
08:48Well, you won't like it, Sam
08:50She wants her salary double
08:52She
08:52Double?
08:53And that's only the beginning
08:54Look, Sam
08:55She wants the right
08:56To choose her own producer
08:57Announce a comic book
08:58Stop, that's enough
08:59That's enough
08:59Are you out of your mind?
09:01Nobody's worth that money
09:02The Deniglo people
09:03Think I am
09:04You mean they agreed to that?
09:06All I have to do
09:07Was put my name
09:08On the dotted line
09:09Now, Rita
09:10You can't do this to me
09:11I can't afford it
09:12Well, you better do it, Sam
09:14You'll be the laughing stock
09:15Of radio
09:16If she signs
09:17With some other
09:17Toothpaste account
09:18You don't have to tell me that
09:19I know it
09:20Think it over, Sammy boy
09:21And don't keep me
09:26Waiting too long
09:27Or I might lose my patience
09:28And sign with Deniglo anyhow
09:30And you said you'd bring her
09:34Into line
09:35Why didn't you do it?
09:36After all, if you were programmed
09:38Yes, and costing me
09:39Fifteen thousand a week
09:40And for what?
09:41It's got the best rating
09:42Of any show on the air
09:43And you've still got Rita
09:44Oh, Rita
09:45Who cares about Rita?
09:46There are plenty of singers
09:47As good as her
09:48You can buy them for a dime a dozen
09:50The woods are full of them
09:51But she's got the name
09:52Yeah
09:53And the glamour
09:55Not for me she hasn't
09:56What she has
09:58For twenty million radio listeners
09:59And if you think
10:00I'm going to let a rival
10:01Two-Face manufacturer
10:02Cash in on it
10:03You're crazy
10:04All right
10:04All right, Sam
10:05I'll take care of it
10:06Now, don't worry
10:07I don't intend to
10:09How's that blue moonlight number
10:12At the time, Mr. Farrell?
10:13I don't know, Dick
10:14Mr. Farrell
10:15I'm not getting enough strings
10:16Oh, all right
10:17Dick, have the brass
10:18Hold down a little bit
10:19The fiddler in the mud
10:20Hey, when do we start?
10:22Just a minute, Ted
10:23And incidentally
10:24While you're on your feet
10:25How about digging up some new gags
10:27For that script of yours?
10:28What, go back on Joe Miller
10:29After all these years?
10:30Not a chance
10:31Look, if those gags
10:32Good enough for my grandfather
10:33They're good enough for me
10:34What's the idea
10:37Of rehearsing this show
10:38Without me?
10:38What we're doing
10:39Doesn't concern you, Rita
10:40Doesn't concern me
10:42I like that
10:43The whole show
10:43Is built around me
10:44That's how little
10:45I'm concerned
10:46Would you mind
10:47Stepping outside with me
10:48A minute, Rita?
10:50I want to rehearse
10:50Your lines with you
10:51Privately
10:52What's the matter
11:00With you and the
11:01Primadonna, Martin?
11:01I thought you two
11:02Were pretty chummy
11:03Oh, forget it
11:04Huh?
11:04She looked through you
11:05Like you weren't even there
11:06I said forget it
11:07Okay
11:08Oh, hi, fellas
11:13Say, listen
11:14I got a great new gag
11:15For you
11:15For the pearly dance show
11:16Okay, shoot
11:17All right, look
11:18One fella says
11:19To the other
11:19He says
11:19You're so dumb
11:20I bet you don't know
11:21What kind of skinned shoes
11:21Are made of
11:22Now, get this
11:23The other guy says
11:24No, but banana skins
11:25Would make good slippers
11:26All right
11:28Huh?
11:29All right
11:30You can't rule me off
11:31For trying
11:31Paige
11:32Mr. Farrell wants to see you
11:37In Studio A, Paige
11:38Oh, look, Ann
11:39Can't you lay off of that
11:40I was only trying to help you
11:41Yes, you almost
11:42Help me out of a job
11:43Well, look
11:43I can explain everything
11:44They'll only have lunch with me
11:45Well, I
11:46Yes, sir
11:46I'll tell him right away
11:47On your horse, Frankie
11:48Yeah, okay
11:48Well, how about it, Ann?
11:50Well, I'll think it over
11:51Oh, swell, look
11:52Meet me in Studio A
11:53As soon as you're on
11:53Hey
11:55Boss, we got a terrific gag for you
11:57Little mighty
11:58Don't tell me it's a gag
11:59Where Rita Wilson
11:59Breaks her leg
12:00And has to be shot
12:00No gag could be that good
12:02Now, get this
12:03You're so dumb
12:04I bet you don't know
12:05What kind of skinned shoes
12:06Is made out of
12:06No, but banana skins
12:08It made pretty good slippers
12:09Is that a war?
12:13Just a gag for the snapper
12:14Hey, mister
12:23You can't go in there
12:25Why?
12:26I'm not gonna hurt nothing
12:27I know, but that's a rehearsal
12:28And ain't nobody allowed in there
12:29But people in the show
12:30Well, maybe I'm on the show
12:32I know you in the show
12:33I know everybody that's in that show
12:34You can't go in there
12:35You can't
12:36Listen, banjo eyes
12:37I'm going through that door
12:38And you...
12:38But, mister Frankie
12:39Tell this gentleman
12:39He can't go in there
12:40Wait a minute, cowboy
12:41What seems to be the trouble
12:42I ain't aiming to horn in
12:44On nothing, buddy
12:45I'm from Ogallala
12:46Kind of a stranger
12:47Around these parts
12:48I ain't never seen
12:49A big broadcast before
12:51Oh, well, this is not a broadcast
12:52It's just a rehearsal
12:53Oh, that don't make no difference
12:54As long as I can see
12:56Some of them big stars at work
12:57You reckon I could kind of
12:58Go in there and watch
12:59Well, I reckon maybe you can
13:01But look, you gotta sit in the back
13:03And be quiet
13:03I won't make a sound
13:05All right, come on
13:06Hey, Jeff, you come on with us, too
13:07Oh, mister Frankie
13:08Why me?
13:09Well, I want to show you
13:10How easy it is
13:11Not to be afraid of a microphone
13:12Oh, mister Frankie
13:13It ain't easy for me
13:14Not to be scared of nothing
13:15You know that
13:16Come on
13:17All right, I'll go
13:18Now, let's go right up there
13:24And sit down
13:25And don't make any noise
13:26Say, has anybody seen Mr. Farrell?
13:30He sent for me
13:31He's out on the roof
13:32Tell him to hustle it up for you
13:33We gotta time the Wilson spot
13:34Right away
13:35There's no argument
13:39I simply want the script changed
13:41That's impossible
13:42And you know it
13:43We can't rewrite the script
13:44At the last minute like this
13:45If it's because you don't
13:46Happen to like the comic
13:47I can't stand that, ma'am
13:48It's impossible for me
13:49To sing under such circumstances
13:50Now, look, Rita
13:51As a producer of this show
13:53My reputation is at stake
13:54And you're not going to ruin it
13:55You'll sing, all right
13:57And you'll like it
13:57Excuse me
13:59What do you want?
14:00Well, uh, Mr. Martin
14:01Is ready to tell you
14:02Miss Wilson's song
14:03Okay
14:04All right, Bob
14:05I'll sing
14:06But you won't like it
14:08Well, Frankie
14:09Stick around
14:11He'll have the rehearsal
14:12I want to talk to you
14:13Yes, sir
14:14All right, let's go
14:17Places, everybody
14:18Better get waiting, Bob
14:19I'll pick it up on page 10
14:22Tag on the Wallace routine
14:25I've made some changes
14:26And that'll be an improvement
14:27Quiet, everybody
14:29We're timing this
14:30What's the idea of running around
14:32With your clothes
14:33Didn't take you very long
14:34To get here
14:35My feet got hot
14:36So I turned a hose on them
14:38And two rows
14:39Oh, I get it
14:41Fell, huh?
14:42Don't be silly
14:42All right, you're so dumb
14:44I'll bet you don't even know
14:45What kind of skinned shoes
14:46Are made out of
14:46No, but banana skins
14:48That make pretty good slippers
14:49My dad
14:51Will you see me glowing
14:57Stop the music
15:04What's the matter with you, Rita?
15:07Can't they wait until I'm ready?
15:09Oh
15:10Well, are you ready now, Miss Wilson?
15:13Yes
15:13All right, start it again
15:27In each cafe
15:30You'll hear the band playing
15:32The conga
15:33Couples are swaying
15:37There in the spell of a dance
15:39Conga
15:42Now you can learn to do the conga
15:46That Latin rhythm
15:48Everyone seems to know
15:49No matter where you may go
15:51They do the conga
15:52Rhythm
15:55You join the chain
15:57And follow rhythm
15:59And to the jungle temple
16:01You move your feet
16:02You find that you're in the
16:03Bees doing the conga
16:05Then with the chain
16:09You remain until they
16:10Find the archway
16:12And with your favorite partner
16:16You crawl through the archway
16:18Then pray
16:20My girl
16:21You may be lucky
16:23With the conga
16:25What happened?
16:28Find the switch
16:28Turn on the lights
16:29Somebody get those lights on
16:31Something's happened to Rita
16:34She's been shot
16:35Somebody watch that door
16:36See that no one gets out
16:37Well, do something
16:39Don't just stand there
16:40Get a doctor
16:41Never mind the doctor
16:42You better get the coroner
16:43This girl's dead
16:44Hey
16:45Let me out of here
16:46Let me out of here
16:48Coroner's on his way up, Marty
16:54What do you make of it?
16:56Whoever shot her
16:57Knew his business
16:57That's a cinch
16:58Plug straight through the heart
17:00No powder burns
17:01That gun was fired
17:03Out there someplace
17:04Lights out, too
17:07That's fancy shooting
17:08Yeah, too fancy
17:10All right, boys
17:13I won't need you
17:13You can beat it
17:14Are you sure nobody left this studio
17:24While the lights were out?
17:26Why, yes
17:27Or after they came back on?
17:28You can see for yourself
17:29We're all here
17:30I don't see anything
17:31Who's we?
17:33Why, uh...
17:34That's right, Lieutenant
17:34Nobody can get out of here
17:36Even if they wanted to
17:36No, why not
17:37Well, you see
17:38The doors lock automatically
17:39From inside the control booth
17:40That's for rehearsing
17:41And broadcast, too
17:42It keeps out anybody
17:43Right now, I'm only interested
17:44In who they keep in
17:45Is he telling the truth?
17:48What do you mean
17:48Am I telling the truth?
17:49I'm asking him
17:50All right
17:51He's right
17:52Well, in that case
17:54The murderer is still in his room
17:56Oh, that's preposterous
17:57These radio people
17:58Broadcasting is sacred to them
18:00Well, they wouldn't think of
18:01Of course they wouldn't
18:02I'm stupid not to have realized that
18:04It was suicide
18:06When nobody was looking
18:07She tiptoed over
18:08And switched out the lights
18:09Shot herself
18:10Swallowed the gun
18:11And then trotted right back
18:13There to die
18:14That's not what I meant
18:16Well, if Rita Wilson
18:17Didn't swallow the gun
18:18Who did?
18:18Just hold your horses, Brown
18:19I'm coming to that
18:20Delaney
18:21Find that gun
18:22It's around here somewhere
18:23Okay
18:24Ten to one, you don't find it
18:26No?
18:26Tell me
18:27Why not?
18:28Well, because I've looked
18:29The place over from top to bottom
18:30Before you got here
18:31And of course you searched
18:31Everybody, too
18:32Well, no
18:34I guess I forgot that
18:35But
18:35Holy smoke, the cowboy
18:37What cowboy?
18:39Tex, the singing cowboy
18:40He might carry a gun
18:42Hey, hey, lieutenant
18:44He's gone
18:45Oh, he won't get far
18:47Wait here, Delaney
18:47Come on, Jeff
18:48Excuse me, young
18:49Please
18:50Wait a minute
18:53If he used the elevator
18:54We'll take the stairway
18:55And cut him off
18:55Okay, let's go
18:56Is this a routine?
19:01Yeah, you should write a funnier one
19:02Hey, Farrell
19:03Quote
19:04If you were a smart producer
19:05You'd hook this up
19:06And shoot it out over the air
19:07Atop any program
19:08Come out of this madhouse yet
19:09Unquote
19:10You must have been out of your mind
19:13What do you mean?
19:14You know what I mean
19:15But I didn't
19:16Keep your voice down
19:17You're safe
19:18Hey, miss
19:18Did the cowboy just leave here?
19:20Why, yes
19:21Take the barton
19:21He just walked out
19:22There he goes
19:30Hey, come back here
19:31Get out of it
19:50You shouldn't have done that, mister
19:52You'll have to hurt somebody
19:53Doing that
19:54Where do you think you're going?
19:56Back to the hotel, I reckon
19:57Oh, you was, eh?
19:59Sure, I didn't figure that killing was any of my business
20:01Brother, you don't know how much that killing is your business
20:04There's nothing on him, Marty
20:05There's nothing here, boss
20:06All right, what did you do with it?
20:07Do with what?
20:08You know, the gun
20:09The one you killed Rita Wilson with
20:11Oh, you got me all wrong
20:13I don't pack no gun
20:14Them things are dangerous
20:16Supposing somebody got killed
20:18Somebody did get killed
20:20Well, see what I mean
20:22ABC regrets to announce that the Perlident program
20:30Usually on the air at this time
20:32Will not be heard tonight
20:33An unfortunate incident this afternoon
20:35Took the life of Miss Rita Wilson
20:37Known to millions as the Perlident girl
20:40Miss Wilson was shot down by an unknown assailant
20:43During a studio rehearsal
20:44To the hotel
20:48That night
20:50In a moment
20:52The PC
20:57Miles
20:58Oh, yeah
21:04Oh, yeah
21:06Oh, the
21:07Get heavy
21:42Well, that's fine, Jeff, but we can't use that on the radio.
21:47No?
21:47No, you see, we have to have...
21:49Oh, hello, Mr. Farrell.
21:50Oh, I was afraid you'd gone home.
21:51No, that cop Marty held everybody up.
21:53You want to see me?
21:55Yes, I'd like to talk to you, Frankie.
21:57Oh.
21:57Oh, I get it.
21:58I'm fired, huh?
21:59Excuse me, Mr. Farrell.
22:01I'll see you all later, if you don't mind.
22:04No, on the contrary, I came to ask a favor of you, if you don't mind.
22:08Sure, go ahead, shoot.
22:10Well, you overheard Miss Wilson of me having a bit of an argument this afternoon before the...
22:15That's right.
22:16Well, it didn't really mean anything, Frankie.
22:18As a matter of fact, there was nothing to it, but you can understand how such a thing might look if taken in the wrong light.
22:25Yeah, sure, I understand.
22:26You mean it might get you in a mess, huh?
22:28Yes.
22:28There'd be a lot of embarrassing questions, and, well, you realize that my reputation as a producer, I couldn't afford to.
22:34Oh, I'm way ahead of you.
22:36You mean you want me to keep my mouth shut?
22:37Yeah.
22:38Yeah, that's right.
22:39It's all right with me.
22:41Doesn't mean anything to me.
22:42I knew you'd see it the right way.
22:43Thanks a million, Frankie.
22:44Yeah, I won't forget it.
22:45Oh, Mr. Farrell.
22:46Yes.
22:47Say, who are you going to get to fill Rita Wilson's spot?
22:51Well, I haven't thought about it.
22:53It's a little early for that, don't you think?
22:55Yeah, but, look, when you do think about it, when you keep Ann Mason in mind, she's got a wonderful voice.
23:01Certainly.
23:02Thanks for reminding me.
23:04Now, ask her to come and see me.
23:05We'll talk about it.
23:05Right.
23:06Good night.
23:06Good night, mister.
23:17I'm sure glad you didn't come out for it.
23:19Say, what that Mr. Farrell man wanted, is you in trouble again?
23:22No, no.
23:23He just invited me over his house for a game of checkers.
23:25Checkers?
23:26Checkers?
23:27Now, ain't that something.
23:28Mr. Frankie, one of these days, you're going to try me too far.
23:32Well, look, pull yourself together, will you?
23:33We've got a lot of work to do.
23:34I want to go over this new routine of ours.
23:36Well, Mr. Frankie, between me waking you in the studio all day and running around all night
23:40hitting you, well, I ain't getting no sleep.
23:42Well, a growing boy like you doesn't need any.
23:44I know, but just growing wears me to a frazzle.
23:48Look, you got your script?
23:49Oh, I got that right here.
23:50Okay, I got to get something for a mic.
23:52Mic?
23:53Does you have to?
23:54Are you still scared of a microphone?
23:56Every time I see one of them things, I get the jitters all inside of myself.
24:00Well, look, we've got to break through that.
24:02Now, look at that microphone.
24:04That ain't no microphone.
24:05That's a mouth.
24:05I know, I know.
24:07But look, can't you pretend it's a mic?
24:08Now, go on, look at it.
24:10Now, you still scared?
24:11Oh, Mr. Frankie, how do you expect for me to be afraid of something that's closer to me
24:14than my own brother?
24:16Yeah, I never thought of that.
24:19Wait a minute, I got an idea.
24:20Uh-oh, I don't like the looks in your eyes when you say you got an idea.
24:23That means trouble.
24:25I got just the thing.
24:26Uh-oh, whatever it is, I ain't gonna do it.
24:28I ain't gonna do it.
24:29I ain't gonna do it.
24:31I ain't gonna do it, Mr. Frankie.
24:32No, sir, I ain't gonna do it.
24:34Of course, right there's why Miss Wilson got killed.
24:36Quiet down, will you, Jeff?
24:37What do you want to do, wake the dead?
24:39Wake the dead?
24:40Mr. Frankie, and I got enough on my mind without you putting ideas in my head.
24:45Jeff, do you mean to tell me you're actually afraid of Rita Wilson's ghost?
24:48It ain't the ghost, it's the person that made her a ghost.
24:50That's what's bothering me.
24:52Boy, you're terrific.
24:53Come on, let's rehearse this thing.
24:54We want to get out of here sometime tonight.
24:57Go ahead.
24:58Uh, Mr. Frankie, I've been thinking.
25:00Uh-oh.
25:01I don't think I want to be active at all.
25:02Now, wait a minute, Jeff.
25:04There's nothing to matter with you.
25:05You're just afraid of that microphone, that's all.
25:07That ain't all.
25:07Well, what's worth it?
25:08Well, now, look, you want to be a success, don't you?
25:10You don't want to be a janitor all your life.
25:12Well, at least I get paid for being a janitor.
25:14Well, sure you get paid.
25:15Yeah, but look, if you're on the radio, think of the glamour.
25:18People glamouring for you.
25:19Now, wait a minute, Mr. Frankie.
25:20That lady, Miss Wilson, had glamour.
25:21Look at her now.
25:22Uh-uh.
25:23That work is too dangerous.
25:24You tell me something, will you, Jeff?
25:26What would you do if you didn't have anything to be scared of?
25:29Well, I would never mind.
25:30Look, let's rehearse this thing.
25:31We want to go home sometime tonight.
25:33Well, if I got it, I just got it good.
25:35Well, then start reading, will you?
25:36Oh, Mr. Frankie, it's your first line.
25:38Oh.
25:39Yeah, that's right.
25:40All right, you ready?
25:41No, I'm ready.
25:42Laura Raffer, how you feel?
25:43Uh, mornin', Mose, uh, I'm sick.
25:48Sick?
25:49Boy, you is always complainin' about...
25:51Mr. Frankie, you don't expect me to speak in no dialect, do you?
25:54No, no, you read yours just plain.
25:56You're the straight man.
25:58Oh, that's different.
25:59Come on, now, let's start again.
26:01Mornin', Raffer, how you feel?
26:03Uh, mornin', Mose, uh, I, I'm sick.
26:06Sick?
26:07Boy, you is always complainin' about...
26:09Mr. Frankie, uh, it's a little hot in here.
26:11Uh, uh, let's go outside, huh?
26:14Yeah, it is kinda warm.
26:15No, but wait a minute, I'll fix the ventilator.
26:18Oh.
26:28No wonder it won't work.
26:30Hey, Jeff, come here, quick.
26:32Yes, sir.
26:35Look in here.
26:36Hmm, goodness, is that a gun?
26:39Yeah.
26:40Must be the one that killed Rita Wilson.
26:42Pretty smart, huh?
26:43He's probably put in there while the lights were out.
26:45Uh, a gun and me ain't got no business in the same room.
26:48I'll see you.
26:50Uh-oh.
26:52Hey, Jeff, wait a minute.
26:53Hold the phone.
26:54What are you two doin' in here?
27:04Well, we were just, uh...
27:06What's that?
27:07It's the gun you've been lookin' for.
27:09Oh, tryin' to hide it, eh?
27:10Oh, now, wait a minute.
27:11You certainly live up to your reputation as a cop, don't you?
27:14You suspect everybody.
27:15It's my business suspectin' people.
27:17Where did you find it?
27:19Come on over here and I'll show you.
27:20Right there in that ventilator.
27:24Must have been put there after the murder.
27:26Oh, no wonder we couldn't find it.
27:27How do we know you didn't put it there?
27:29Yeah, how do we know you didn't sneak back here tonight
27:31and try to grab it off when you thought nobody was around?
27:33Mm-hmm.
27:34We caught you right in the act, didn't we?
27:36Oh, now, wait a minute.
27:37Saddle down.
27:38Where do you get that stuff?
27:38It's a good thing you used your head
27:40and picked this gun up with your handkerchief
27:41because of your fingerprints around it.
27:43Well, what if they are?
27:46Now, wait a minute now.
27:47Where are y'all gonna take us?
27:49Police headquarters.
27:50What for?
27:50We didn't do nothing.
28:15Look at that.
28:16And that.
28:20Well, we gotta let you go.
28:22Yep, there wasn't your fingerprints.
28:24Well, don't have to look so disappointed about it.
28:27Mr. Lieutenant, do that mean that we are free again?
28:30Did we murder?
28:31Well, to an extent, yes.
28:33But don't leave town.
28:34No, sir.
28:35Well, what makes you think we'd want to leave town?
28:37Well, you've nosed out all the other answers.
28:39Try dipping your beak into that one.
28:41Now, listen, Marty.
28:41Don't call me.
28:42All right, all right.
28:43All right, all right.
28:44Blue, Kenneth.
28:52Paging Mr. Waters.
28:54Paging Mr. Waters.
28:55Mr. Waters in Studio B, please.
28:58Oh, hello, Tex.
28:59Hiya.
29:00Paging Mr. Waters.
29:01Well, good morning, Tex.
29:02Paging Mr. Waters.
29:03Morning, Miss Ann.
29:04Hiya.
29:04You look happy.
29:05You got some good news?
29:06I sure did.
29:08Mr. Farrell's going to let me audition for him this morning.
29:10Oh, Tex, that's wonderful.
29:13It's about time you had a chance.
29:14You've waited long enough.
29:16Well, we both had, Miss Ann.
29:18Maybe you'll be next.
29:20Oh, I hope so.
29:21Good luck, Tex.
29:22Oh, thank you.
29:27Well, that cowboy don't waste any time, does he?
29:30What do you mean?
29:32Well, he's always hanging around you,
29:33Oh, he's talking to you.
29:34What's he want, anyhow?
29:36I think that's none of your business.
29:38Oh, well, pardon me.
29:39But if you must know,
29:40he was telling me about his audition.
29:42Audition?
29:43For who, Farrell?
29:44Yes, Paige.
29:46Mr. Farrell is going to hear him this morning.
29:48Oh, Mr. Farrell, is it?
29:50Well, I guess that puts me in my place.
29:52Well, you asked for it.
29:54Yeah.
29:55Paging Mr. Waters.
29:57You mail for us, beautiful?
29:58Oh, I see.
29:59Oh, hello, Mr. Fingal.
30:00Listen, I got another great gag for you.
30:01Stow it, kid.
30:02We ain't buying gags anymore.
30:03We're off the air.
30:05Off the air?
30:06Yeah, Wallace quit this morning.
30:07But he couldn't.
30:08Ah, but he did.
30:09And now we're on relief.
30:12Ain't that cute?
30:13Gee, I'm sorry.
30:15But look.
30:15Watch your job, kid.
30:16We might start angling for it.
30:18No mail, Mr. Fingal.
30:19Thanks.
30:20So long.
30:21Good luck.
30:25Hey, Ann.
30:26Did you hear that?
30:27What about it?
30:28What about it?
30:29That means they need a new comic for the Pearly Dent show, doesn't it?
30:31Yes.
30:32Well?
30:33Well, what?
30:34Frankie.
30:35Not you.
30:35Well, who else?
30:36Why not?
30:37Look.
30:37Jeff and I have got a swell comedy act worked up.
30:39Does Mr. Farrell know about this?
30:42Oh, no.
30:43But, well, don't you worry.
30:45It's in the bag.
30:46Well, just make sure you don't wind up in the bag.
30:48Keep your fingers crossed.
30:49Say, is he kidding?
30:53Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie.
31:00These words came low and low.
31:04Nice cheerful little diddy.
31:06Yeah.
31:07Now I know why they call them lone cowboys.
31:10Or not plenty.
31:11Some boy who lay on his dying bed at the close of day.
31:19That'll do, Mr. Barton.
31:21Thank you very much.
31:22Well, I'm not through yet.
31:23I've got a lot more to do.
31:25Heard all that we required.
31:26We'll let you know if we can use you.
31:28How much more of this torture?
31:30One more coming up.
31:32Presenting the two blackbirds, Rastus and Mowles.
31:35Hey, what goes on here?
31:41Morning, Rastus.
31:42How's yours?
31:43Morning, Mowles.
31:44I'm sick.
31:46Boy, you is always complaining about something that you ain't even got.
31:50And couldn't have it if you did have it.
31:52Boy, I got it.
31:53You got what?
31:54A kind of a feeling that stars...
31:57I had that once.
31:58You mean the kind of a feeling that stars in the head and works around the eyes.
32:01That's it.
32:02Yeah?
32:02Mm-hmm.
32:03What you doing for it?
32:04Well, I seen myself a doctor.
32:07And he gave me a bottle of...
32:08Don't take them, they'll kill you.
32:10Now, why don't you try...
32:12I tried two boxes of them.
32:13They didn't do me no good.
32:15Then why don't you go see Dr...
32:16That quack?
32:17I had him.
32:18You see, he's one of these kind of doctors.
32:20Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
32:21Well, look, in that case, what you need is a cutting doctor.
32:24You know, a sturgeon.
32:26A man who can go rock weight on you.
32:28You know, one that takes a knife and he cuts your hair.
32:30I had mine taken out last year.
32:32Oh, you did, huh?
32:33Yeah.
32:33Well, look, what else do you think maybe could be wrong with you?
32:35Well, you see, I thought maybe it was...
32:37Oh, no, no, no, though.
32:39You're all wrong.
32:39Couldn't be that.
32:40Now, look, why don't you try some of them pills you know that my brother took when he was suffering
32:44from muddy cock when he was...
32:45Was he out there?
32:46I thought all the time he was going to go.
32:48Yeah, he did, but he doesn't come back.
32:50What's he doing now?
32:52Well, you see, he's working again.
32:54Where?
32:54Well, he's got a job and, boy, do you know he's making a salary or...
32:58That ain't no money at all.
33:00Yeah, I know, and that poor devil, he'll fix him to get married.
33:03Uh, uh, uh, look here, uh, Mr. Franke, you got to talk slow if you want me to keep up with you.
33:08I can't talk that fast, Mr. Franke.
33:13Uh, who is he going to marry?
33:15Well, don't you know he's going to marry the daughter of...
33:17Uh, she's a nice girl.
33:19Mm-hmm.
33:20All right, break it up, you two.
33:21Well, what's the matter, boss?
33:22I thought we was doing pretty fine.
33:24You know better than to try a stint like this.
33:26Well, now, just a minute, Mr. Fowl.
33:28You think I wouldn't recognize you behind this stuff?
33:30Don't touch me.
33:31I don't rub off.
33:32Oh, Frankie, this is taking things a little too far.
33:35After all, I agreed to one audition, but not...
33:37Yeah, but Mr. Farrell, I mean, Mr. Farrell, we knew you needed two new comics for the Pearly Dents show,
33:41so we just thought that...
33:43Uh-oh.
33:44Here come that man again.
33:47Sorry to bust in like this.
33:48Not at all.
33:49Were you looking for me?
33:51Text Barton.
33:51They told me he was here.
33:52Well, uh, he just left here, Lieutenant.
33:54Who's he?
33:55Who's who?
33:56You.
33:58Frankie, don't you remember?
34:00What happened to you?
34:01Fall in a coal bin?
34:03Yeah, I think I did.
34:04Uh, you should have passed him in the hall.
34:07He must be in the building somewhere.
34:08Thanks.
34:10Hey, Lieutenant, wait a minute.
34:14Hey, Marty.
34:16My name's Lieutenant Phillips.
34:17Don't forget that.
34:18Yeah, okay.
34:20What did you want with Text Barton?
34:21Were those his fingerprints on the gun?
34:23Don't know yet, but it was his gun.
34:25We got a wire back on the serial number.
34:27Well, then he's the killer.
34:28Well, you can't tell.
34:30He did time back in Cheyenne.
34:32Used the same gun in a shooting scrape over some woman.
34:35What's her name, Delaney?
34:36Oh, Wharton.
34:37Gladys Wharton.
34:38Yeah, that's it.
34:40Oh, thanks a lot, Morty.
34:41I mean, Lieutenant.
34:43Come on, Delaney.
34:47Wharton.
34:49Gladys Wharton.
34:50Oh, Jeff, have you seen Frankie?
34:52Yes, ma'am.
34:52There he is.
34:54That?
34:55Yes, and it's not funny.
34:57Here, Frankie, take these contracts over to Mr. Hastings' office and wait for an okay.
35:01Right.
35:03Come on, Jeff.
35:06Say, now's a good time to sell our actor, Mr. Hastings.
35:13Yeah, but we've already been vetoed once by Mr. Farrell.
35:16Oh, quit beefing.
35:17Come on.
35:17I wonder what this is all about.
35:35I don't know, but this ain't no place for me.
35:38Come here.
35:39Pull yourself together.
35:40Something's all wrong.
35:43Where's Mr. Hastings?
35:44Don't look at me.
35:45I ain't got him.
35:47Come on, Jeff.
35:47Let's take a look around.
35:52Tex Barton.
35:57Jeff, he's dead.
35:58I'm glad you left that door.
36:02We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin.
36:06Death once again stalked the halls of Amalgamated Broadcasting Company today, striking down Tex Barton, cowboy troubadour.
36:14Detective Lieutenant Marty Phillips, in charge of the investigation, believes the crime to be the work of the mysterious assailant,
36:19who, less than 24 hours before, took the life of Rita Wilson, beautiful ABC singing star.
36:31What bothers me is why, in an institution of this size, nobody heard the shot when the gun was fired.
36:37Oh, that's easy, Lieutenant.
36:39Yeah, with you, everything is easy.
36:41Well, you see, all these rooms are soundproof.
36:42Well, that could account for it.
36:44Which reminds me, how does it happen you're always on deck every time a murder's committed around here?
36:49Well, uh, coincidence, I guess.
36:52Yeah?
36:53Well, men have been convicted and hung on the strength of coincidence.
36:56Don't forget that.
37:00And you say you two were auditioning at the time of the murder?
37:03Yes.
37:04That's right.
37:05And you claim you were in his office across the street when it happened.
37:09Yes, uh, yes, I was.
37:11That's right, we were looking over some contracts.
37:13I can prove it.
37:14That leaves you, Miss Mason.
37:16Well, I'm wondering...
37:17I know, I know.
37:18You were listening to the swing parade broadcast.
37:20But I...
37:20And you can prove it.
37:23Where were you?
37:24Uh, I, uh, I was in the coincident with Mr. Frankie.
37:31Well, if this ain't as neat a set of alibis as I've ever heard.
37:36Well, it'll be all for now.
37:37You can go.
37:38But don't anybody leave this building without checking with me first.
37:41And don't try anything funny.
37:43And that goes double for you.
37:45Yes, sir.
37:48Oh, Frankie.
37:55Look, you, you won't say anything about this.
37:57Oh, no, don't worry about that.
37:58Oh, fine.
37:59But listen, don't you forget Ann's audition.
38:01Oh, that's right.
38:03I'll tell you what, you, you have her in the audition room in half an hour and I'll hear her then.
38:06Have to step.
38:07Somehow or other
38:12Although you're gone
38:16The love you brought to me
38:21Will linger on
38:25Who would have thought it
38:29Or who could foresee
38:32The love we treasured
38:38Would only be
38:40A memory
38:42Somehow or other
38:46Someday, sweetheart
38:51Mmm, not fair.
38:54We'll lose our lottery
38:55Very good.
38:57Right from the start
38:59She's all right.
39:00We'll build a castle
39:03That won't disappear
39:08Somehow or other
39:13Dear
39:15Was I all right?
39:23Honey, you can sing for me anytime.
39:25He really doesn't sign you up.
39:26He's crazy.
39:27Crazy, am I?
39:28Like a fox.
39:30That girl's great.
39:31I'm going to sign her up.
39:32Oh, but Sam, she's a green kid.
39:34She's had no experience.
39:35Well, that's what I like about her.
39:36Get her in here.
39:37Okay.
39:42Oh, gee, Ann, that was marvelous.
39:44You were great.
39:45You sure was, Miss Ann.
39:46You think that like nobody's business.
39:48Oh, I hope so.
39:49You think Mr. Farrell will like it.
39:51Well, how can he help but like it?
39:53Well, Ann, you're in.
39:56Made it.
39:57Really?
39:57Yes, Mr. Hastings just called.
39:59What'd I tell you?
40:00He and Mr. Quigley would like to see you in the client's room right away.
40:03Well, come on.
40:03What are we waiting for?
40:04Hey, where do you think you're going?
40:06Well, with Ann.
40:08Well, why?
40:09I'm her agent.
40:10She's the greatest discovery I've ever had.
40:12Yes, I know, Frankie.
40:13But under the circumstances, don't you think you'd better let me handle it?
40:16Oh, but gee, Mr. Farrell.
40:18I think maybe he's right, Frankie.
40:20Oh, yeah, sure, okay.
40:23Good luck.
40:31Well, I guess we got the brush off.
40:34How do you like that?
40:36How do you like that?
40:37But, Mr. Frankie, wait.
40:40How do you like that?
40:42I arrange for the whole audition.
40:44I get her all set.
40:45What happens to me?
40:45Yeah, I'm a smart guy.
40:47I wind up behind the eight ball.
40:49Is you talking about me?
40:50No.
40:52Jeff, I'm through with women.
40:54Absolutely through with them.
40:55Especially singers.
40:56That's the best idea you had, Jeff.
40:58Because singers don't last long on this network.
41:00No, sir.
41:01You said it.
41:05But you know, Jeff, gee, I'd hate to see anything happen to Ann.
41:09I mean, like...
41:10Well, like what happened to Miss Wilson and Mr. Tex?
41:12Yeah.
41:14You know, somebody has to catch those killers.
41:17Looks like it's going to have to be us.
41:19Yeah, not so heavy on that us.
41:21You're going to find them killers.
41:22Them killers ain't found me,
41:24and I ain't going to give them no help by finding them first.
41:29Jeff, I've got it.
41:31We've got a date.
41:32I've got a date right here with a broom, and I'm going to keep it.
41:34No, you haven't.
41:35Go on, change your clothes.
41:36Because I have to.
41:37Go on and change your clothes.
41:38Am I going to have trouble with you?
41:40Change and blow it.
41:42Hey, Stella.
41:43Have those cops left yet?
41:45Well, I haven't seen them, Frankie.
41:46Oh, huh?
41:46Look, have you got Tex Barton's home address there?
41:49Sure.
41:49Give it to me, will you?
41:50Oh, now, look, Frankie, this isn't another one of your brainstorming.
41:52Never mind that.
41:53This is important.
41:55Well, it's room 203 at the Wolves Hotel.
41:57Swell.
41:57Thanks a lot.
41:57Come on.
41:58Oh, my goodness.
42:00Tex killed in Mr. Hastings' office.
42:02It just don't make sense.
42:04Don't none of it make no sense to me.
42:05Well, if Tex did kill Rita, who killed Tex and why?
42:08Why ask me a reason, Mr. Frankie?
42:10Why should I know?
42:11Well, I was just thinking out loud.
42:13Uh-oh.
42:14So you don't suppose Mr. Hastings could have killed Tex or Rita, do you?
42:17I don't think so, because Mr. Hastings is an awful nice man.
42:20Yeah, that's the way I had it figured.
42:21But I don't know.
42:22The finger seems to point to him.
42:24Uh, Mr. Frankie, if you don't be careful, the finger's going to be pointing at you.
42:27If I could only get my hands on one good clue.
42:30Like what, for instance?
42:31Well, like getting a line on that girl that Tex was mixed up with in Cheyenne.
42:34What was her name?
42:35Gladys Wharton?
42:36I don't know the lady.
42:37Well, I'd like to.
42:39I think she's the answer to the whole shooting match.
42:41That's one answer I don't want to know.
42:43Well, if my hunch is right, we're about to find out.
42:46Here it is, yes.
42:47Mr. Frank, shh.
43:02203, this is it.
43:04If you ask me, we is it.
43:10There's nobody in.
43:11How can you expect for Mr. Tex to be home if he's dead?
43:13I wasn't thinking of Tex, stupid.
43:15Did it ever occur to you that somebody else might have the same idea?
43:18Well, if anybody else ain't got it, the idea must not be no good.
43:21I'm going.
43:22Now, wait a minute.
43:22This is the break I've been waiting for.
43:24We're going in.
43:25Ain't that trespassing?
43:26And besides, ain't the doula?
43:28Yeah, but the skeleton key is the answer to that.
43:31You always got the answer to everything.
43:33Come on.
43:38Mr. Frankie, you got me in here.
43:40Now, what else I'm going to do?
43:41Now, look, get busy.
43:42If I know Marty Phillips, he won't be long in finding this place himself.
43:45You examine the bed.
43:46I'm going to look through the drawers.
43:47Yes, sir.
43:51Never can tell what you find.
43:52Might be something big.
43:54Look a year, look a year.
43:56Look a Texas suitcase.
43:58Boy, let me at it.
44:00Oh, them ain't nothing but papers.
44:01What did you expect to find?
44:02A dead body?
44:04Well, with nothing surprising here, lady, the way we've been going,
44:06I ain't got some of them scared to open my dinner bucket anymore.
44:09Say, listen, if these papers are what I think they are,
44:11it's better than finding gold.
44:12Mr. Frankie, you sure got a plenty of sense of value.
44:15Look at me in.
44:17Now, ain't that something?
44:20It's a picture.
44:22Then my eyes didn't fool me after all.
44:27Look at that.
44:28There's a telegram, too.
44:29I can't believe it.
44:44Yet they tie up the picture, the telegram.
44:49She must be Gladys Wharton.
44:50Well, you don't mean to say that she killed that cowboy, do you?
44:53No, Jeff, I don't know what to think.
44:55Looks bad.
44:56Yeah, look, don't you say anything to anybody, not even Ann.
45:00Oh, you know me.
45:02You know, if she did, well, if she did, she must have had a good reason.
45:08You know, Jeff, we got to help her.
45:10Yes, sir.
45:12Greetings, kiddies.
45:13I noted what's going to happen.
45:15I noted.
45:15I suppose this is a coincidence, too.
45:18Well, no, not exactly.
45:19Well, you see, we kind of like Tex, so we thought we'd come up in his room, you know, and gather up the things and, well, send him home.
45:26Sure, I know.
45:27A very noble gesture.
45:29You wanted to help him so much, you tore his room apart doing it.
45:31It's robbery, all right, Marty.
45:33No doubt about it.
45:33It's as plain as the nose on your face.
45:35But, uh...
45:36Marvelous, Delaney.
45:37Sometimes I wonder what I'd do without you around to tell me these things.
45:41Yes, sir.
45:42All right, kid, spill it.
45:43What did you find?
45:44We didn't find anything.
45:45I just thought that...
45:46Well, suppose you start thinking of a nice, cozy room behind bars.
45:49Because that's where you're going to wind up if you don't start talking fast.
45:52What makes you think we found anything?
45:54Oh, that look on your face, like the cat that ate the canary.
45:56You ain't kidding, nobody.
45:58Okay.
45:59You win, Marty.
46:00And my name's Lieutenant Phillips, not Marty.
46:05Oh, holding back evidence, eh?
46:07Ann Mason.
46:11And a telegram from Gladys Wharton.
46:14Very interesting.
46:16You wouldn't be trying to protect your little girlfriend, now, would you?
46:19Well, uh, no.
46:21That's my picture.
46:22She gave it.
46:23Get away.
46:24This belongs to the state now.
46:25In the case of the people versus Gladys Wharton.
46:28What do you mean?
46:28You're going to...
46:28I mean, for my money, Ann Mason murdered Tex Barton.
46:32Bring him along, Delaney.
46:33Hey, wait a minute.
46:34You know, Jeff and I didn't look this place over very good, aren't you?
46:37You're going to look around and see if we overlooked anything?
46:39Yeah.
46:40I think you've got something there.
46:52They locked us in.
46:54Break it open.
46:55Open this door.
46:57Hey, Ann, Ann, wait a minute.
47:14Oh, Frankie, I've got the most wonderful news.
47:16Never mind that.
47:17Listen, I've got to talk to you right away.
47:18Come on out on the roof.
47:19Go on, Jeff.
47:21Well, what's the matter, Frankie?
47:22What's wrong?
47:23Everything's wrong.
47:24Marty's wise to the whole shebang.
47:25Wise to what?
47:26I don't understand.
47:27That picture.
47:28And the telegram.
47:28He found them.
47:29What picture?
47:30What telegram?
47:31Oh, you know, Ann, the picture you gave Tex Barton.
47:33Oh, that.
47:34Oh, that.
47:34Listen, you're on a spot.
47:36Oh, don't be silly.
47:37I knew Tex before.
47:38He'd worked with some of the smaller radio stations.
47:40And when he heard I was out of a job, why I took my picture around.
47:42Well, look, that's all right with me.
47:43But you're going to have a hard time making Marty believe it.
47:46Don't you realize he thinks you've killed Tex?
47:48And he's coming up here to make an arrest right now.
47:50Well, that's awful.
47:51Well, I can't believe it.
47:52Well, you better believe it because he's not fooling.
47:54He sure ain't, Miss Ann.
47:55But my contract, I just signed it.
47:57Forget about your contract.
47:58The best thing for you to do is to get out of here as quick as you can.
48:01Find a place to hide.
48:02And I know just the place.
48:04The county jail.
48:06You're under arrest, Miss Mason.
48:07Or should I say, what?
48:09And I'm taking you along with her.
48:10Me?
48:11Marty, what for?
48:11For locking me in that room.
48:14Okay, Marty, we'll go with you.
48:15But you're sure going to look like a chump when the papers tell how we made a monkey out of you.
48:19Come on.
48:20Don't worry, Ann.
48:21We'll do everything we can for you.
48:23Now, there's a guy that's a credit to the police force.
48:32It ain't fair, Mr. Frankie.
48:34Here it is way past my dinner time and I'm starving to death and there you is reading a book.
48:38All right, be quiet, will you?
48:39I'll be through in a minute.
48:40That's what I've been telling my stomach, but it keeps on arguing.
48:44Here's one, look.
48:46Robert Farrell, radio producer, formerly in New York.
48:50Well, no Cheyenne, he's out.
48:52No, he ain't.
48:52I've just seen him come in.
48:57Look, look at this one.
48:58B.J. Hastings, radio executive, formerly owner of WRW in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
49:05Jeff, that's it.
49:06We've got it.
49:07You mean Mr. Histon is the killer?
49:08Well, he could be, but gee, it's hard to believe.
49:11But look, if Ann knew him and Cheyenne, then she's in on the whole deal.
49:16Now, if we can only talk to her and find out...
49:17My goodness, she is the killer.
49:20No, Ann couldn't kill anybody.
49:22No?
49:22She...
49:23Well, she's not the type.
49:25Come on.
49:26Where are we going?
49:27To the end.
49:28Down to the jailhouse?
49:29Well, certainly.
49:30Oh, Mr. Frank, if this is one summer that I thought I was going to get some fresh air.
49:34You'll get plenty of it.
49:35Come on.
49:35Come on.
49:37Uh-huh.
49:37Okay.
49:39Goodbye.
49:40Hiya, Marty.
49:42How many times have I got to tell you my name as Lieutenant Phillips?
49:46And if you're looking for any clues, I ain't got any.
49:48You're telling me.
49:50I told you.
49:51I'm sorry, Marty.
49:52They slipped past me.
49:53It's all right, Delaney.
49:54All right, kid.
49:56Get it off your chest.
49:57Well, it's nothing.
49:58I just wanted to see Ann.
49:59What makes you think I'd let you see it?
50:01Well, as a taxpayer, it's my privilege.
50:03Well, of course.
50:05Hey, wait a minute.
50:06You don't pay taxes.
50:07Well, I will someday.
50:09So couldn't I see her now on account?
50:12Delaney.
50:14Wait a minute.
50:15You can't throw me out.
50:16I got a right to see Ann.
50:17Well, she ain't here.
50:19She ain't here?
50:20We released her on bail a half an hour ago.
50:23You released her on bail?
50:24We released her on bail.
50:26Who did it?
50:27Who did it, Marty?
50:27Who got her out?
50:28Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.
50:30You mean you don't know?
50:31Oh, the deal was handled by Max Krieger, a bail broker.
50:34Wouldn't give his client's name.
50:36He wouldn't, huh?
50:38Marty, do you realize what this means?
50:40It means I've got too much on my mind right now to worry about it.
50:43Now, will you please?
50:44But look.
50:45Now, Ann didn't kill Tex.
50:47And if she is Gladys Wharton, she knows too much.
50:49So the killer gets her out of jail so he can murder her.
50:52Maybe he's got something there, Marty.
50:54Yeah, I know.
50:55Say, if that's straight, that girl's life means less with every tick of the clock.
50:58We gotta find her.
51:00Listen, there's a chance she might have gone to the studio.
51:01She's supposed to be on the perma there now.
51:02Well, it's a long one, but we'll try it.
51:04Say, Marty, you know, I've been thinking.
51:10Uh-oh.
51:11Well, stop it.
51:11Every time you start to think, I get a headache.
51:13You get a headache.
51:14Every time he starts to think, I get a nervous concussion.
51:17Quiet down, Jeff.
51:19Look, Marty, you know, I don't think Ann is Gladys Wharton.
51:21No?
51:22Then who is?
51:23Well, how about Rita Wilson?
51:25No, you're crazy.
51:26We looked up Ann Mason's record.
51:28She has from a little town about 50 miles outside of Cheyenne.
51:31Yeah?
51:32I didn't know that.
51:33Oh, and nice of you to admit it.
51:35Say, look, did you know that Mr. Hastings comes from down there, too?
51:38Where did you find that out?
51:39Oh, I looked it up in the radio yearbook.
51:40He used to own a station down there.
51:42Then maybe he's the one we're looking for.
51:44I don't know who we're looking for.
51:46This case gets more mixed up every time I blink my eyes.
51:50How about it, Marty?
51:51How about what?
51:52How about Mr. Hastings?
51:53How about shutting up so I can think?
51:56Step on it, Delaney.
51:57Right.
52:11Excuse me, miss, I, uh...
52:12Stella, have you seen Ann?
52:13Why, yes, she came in a minute ago with Mr. Farrell.
52:16Farrell?
52:17That's all I want to know.
52:18Farrell, I want to talk to you.
52:33Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
52:34You still on the job?
52:35What have you done with Ann?
52:36I haven't seen her.
52:38The girl at the desk said you came in with her a while ago.
52:40Well, she must be confused.
52:41I think you're the one that's confused, mister.
52:44Now, are you going to tell us where she is?
52:45Yes, I did come in with her, but I don't know where she is now.
52:51That's a fact.
52:51It better be.
52:52It is.
52:53Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me, the Purley then show goes on in half an hour, and I...
52:56Oh, no, you don't.
52:57You're staying right here with me.
52:59Well, look, what about Mr. Hastings?
53:00Will you get that idea out of your head?
53:02No, I'm getting to the bottom of this thing once and for all.
53:05Delaney, round up everybody and have them in the client's room in 15 minutes.
53:09And that goes for you, too.
53:10Yes, sir.
53:11Jeff, what's been the matter with me?
53:21That's just what I've been trying to figure out.
53:23The teletype.
53:23I should have thought of that a long time ago.
53:27Well, here's hoping it works.
53:28Just hoping we don't get caught.
53:41We got him.
53:55It's coming through.
53:56You don't say so.
53:57Mr. Frankie, you sure is a genius.
54:11Yeah, Jeff.
54:25Tex used to do a singing act with a blonde girl named Gladys Wharton.
54:30Jeff, it's beginning to click.
54:31Rita Wilson used to be a blonde.
54:33What do you know about them?
54:35It says they both left town hurriedly after a shooting scrape with some radio executive.
54:41Now, who was the radio executive?
55:05It's gone dead.
55:26And just when we were going to find out something important.
55:29You don't think a ghost did that, do you?
55:31No.
55:31That machine went off too conveniently.
55:33Say, this one's connected with the machine in the newsroom, isn't it?
55:38No wonder.
55:41You wait here, Jeff.
55:42Alone?
55:43With all these gossers?
55:44Mr. Frankie!
56:03Hey, where's the fire?
56:08Listen, I'm on the trail of something hot.
56:10Come on, follow me.
56:15Somebody slugged him.
56:17Jeff!
56:18Jeff, wake up!
56:20Is that where I think I is?
56:22Or is that where I hope I ain't?
56:24Oh, my head.
56:25What happened, Jeff?
56:27I was standing over there looking at that machine.
56:31It wasn't hurting nobody.
56:33Boom!
56:33I gets it.
56:35I knew what was going to happen to me, Mr. Frankie.
56:37I knew it.
56:40It's gone, all right.
56:42Delaney!
56:42He must have come in here from the newsroom and grabbed that tape and then went out the
56:46other way.
56:47Did anybody enter or leave this room?
56:49Nobody but you, the kid, and the porter there.
56:52Thanks.
56:52Must have used this door.
56:54Where does it lead to?
56:55Well, to a hall.
56:55It leads to the sponsor's room.
56:56Well, let's go.
56:59Y'all go ahead.
57:00I'll stay here and re-cooperate.
57:01Is there anybody left here?
57:04Don't ask me.
57:05I didn't notice anybody.
57:06Don't listen here, Lieutenant.
57:07Quiet, quiet.
57:08Speak your peace, Frankie.
57:10Well, I just checked with station WRW in Cheyenne, and I think I've got the lowdown on who killed
57:14Tex Barton and Rita Wilson.
57:16What did you find out?
57:18Well, the way I've got it figured, you see, Rita was Tex's wife.
57:22And, well, she ran out on him for some big radio executive.
57:24What?
57:26And just who is this big executive?
57:28Well, I don't know yet.
57:29It was just coming over the teletype when somebody tore the tape.
57:33But I've got a new lineup.
57:35Now, as I see it...
57:36All right, get him up, everybody.
57:39First man that moves follows the same route the Tex took.
57:42Nice work, Frankie.
57:43I killed Rita, sure.
57:46I found out she was throwing me over for someone else.
57:48What about the cowboy?
57:49He was the only one that knew about Rita and me.
57:52I had to get rid of him, too.
57:54All right.
57:58I'm in this thing pretty deep.
58:00So don't try anything.
58:02One or two more won't make any difference to me now.
58:05A middle back!
58:06Good work!
58:07Give me that.
58:07Good.
58:08I thought you'd get away with it, huh?
58:10Take him down, Delaney.
58:11It's a pleasure.
58:12Come on, you.
58:13This is the unalbum of the broadcasting company.
58:15Presenting the Perlodent Hour.
58:27The broadcast.
58:28Where's Ann?
58:28Now, where do you think?
58:31Presenting for the first time on the air,
58:33the girl who is destined to become radio's new singing sensation,
58:36Ann Mason.
58:37Well, how do you like that?
58:44Practically sitting right in my lap and I didn't know it.
58:46Sure.
58:47You didn't think I'd leave her running around
58:48so you could throw her back in jail again, did you?
58:50Conga.
58:55Conga.
58:57Now you can learn to do the conga.
