00:02:28Let's go.

00:02:29Let's go.

00:02:30Let's go.

00:02:31Are you kidding?

00:02:36Why should I try to kid a policeman?

00:02:38I said that's him, and I want him run in for pretty larceny.

00:02:47What about it, Billy?

00:02:48Did you take anything?

00:02:50Well, not exactly, Mr. Sullivan.

00:02:53I...

00:02:53He's lying, lying to tell you.

00:02:55Never mind the gab, stoner.

00:02:57Save it and tell it to the judge.

00:02:59Come on, Billy.

00:03:01Right off of the street, I picked him, Judge.

00:03:12Because I'm a pushover for kids, see?

00:03:15And the way he told it, he said he wanted to make some extra dough after school.

00:03:19So I thinks to myself, sure, give the kid a chance.

00:03:23So I did.

00:03:24So the minute I turn my back, he's got his dirty mitts in the till.

00:03:28That's what I'm charging him with, Judge.

00:03:30Judge, snatch it from the till.

00:03:33Well, son, it's, uh, it's Billy, isn't it?

00:03:36Yes, sir.

00:03:37Billy Freeman.

00:03:38Well, Billy, did you take the money or didn't you?

00:03:41Gee, I don't know.

00:03:43I, I guess maybe you could say I did, but...

00:03:47Guessing won't do, Billy.

00:03:48Either yes or no.

00:03:50Gosh, I'm all mixed up.

00:03:53It, it don't seem like I'd done nothing wrong.

00:03:56Yes or no, Billy.

00:03:58Sure, I took the money, if that's what you're waiting for me to say.

00:04:01But, but golly, I had to.

00:04:02Are you sure you had to?

00:04:06There's no excuse for stealing, Billy.

00:04:08No matter how much you need the money.

00:04:10Are you sure about that, Your Honor?

00:04:12I beg your pa...

00:04:13Oh, it's you.

00:04:17That's quite a statement for a man in your position to make.

00:04:20Just when was the last time you needed money badly enough to steal for it?

00:04:23Now, just a minute, lady.

00:04:24Ah, ah, ah, Sullivan.

00:04:26Here, what are you trying to do?

00:04:27Get the Child Welfare Society down on our necks?

00:04:29Not to mention the country club set.

00:04:32See, Miss Allen is quite within her rights as a welfare worker to appear as counsel for the defense.

00:04:36As a matter of fact, she's quite welcome.

00:04:39They haven't hurt you, have they, Billy?

00:04:42As a matter of fact, we were just getting ready to take him to the torture chamber.

00:04:45You were just in time for the fun.

00:04:47I shouldn't be the least bit surprised.

00:04:49Knowing this court's ideas on child psychology.

00:04:52Oh, child psychology.

00:04:54Another book you've read.

00:04:56What would you like me to do with the boy?

00:04:58Let him go scot-free just because he's admitted his guilt?

00:05:00I'll bet he twisted your arm and made you tell him, didn't he, Billy?

00:05:03Now, wait a minute, Joan. That's not a nice thing.

00:05:04My name's Miss Allen, if you please.

00:05:06Oh, Miss Allen, if you please.

00:05:10Billy, would you be good enough to tell you a story to Miss Allen, if you please?

00:05:14Billy, you don't have to repeat anything that's going to make you unhappy.

00:05:18Billy, what I want to know is, just why did you take that money?

00:05:24Gee, Miss Allen, I had to to get Pal out of jail.

00:05:28Gosh, maybe they shot him already.

00:05:31Shot him? What for?

00:05:32For not having a license.

00:05:34That mean old dog catcher come and got him.

00:05:36Oh, it's a...

00:05:38And that's why you took the money, son.

00:05:41Snatched it, you mean.

00:05:42If you shout at this child, I'll pick at your store.

00:05:49Billy, why didn't you ask your mother for the money?

00:05:54I ain't got a mother.

00:05:55She died when I was real small.

00:05:57Oh, I'm sorry.

00:06:00Oh, that's all right, ma'am.

00:06:02Honest.

00:06:04Only, only sometimes I wish I had a mother like most kids.

00:06:08Of course you do, Billy.

00:06:11Why didn't you get the money from your dad?

00:06:13Wouldn't that have been easier?

00:06:15Gosh, no.

00:06:16Poppy, I mean, Pop hasn't got no money.

00:06:20You see, he's been kind of sickly lately, and...

00:06:23Well, he couldn't work.

00:06:25And honest, I just had to have it.

00:06:27I couldn't let Pal down.

00:06:29Not even if I had to go to the electric chair.

00:06:32Besides, I had it coming to me.

00:06:34The money, I mean.

00:06:36He had a buck coming to him.

00:06:37And then the little thief tries to hold me up for a deuce.

00:06:40Uh, how long did you work for Mr. Stoner, Billy?

00:06:44From after school till 8 o'clock at night.

00:06:46For a whole week.

00:06:49And you had the nerve to offer him a dollar.

00:06:54Is that right, Stoner?

00:06:56Sure, what do you expect?

00:06:58A unit scale?

00:07:00If you have any other employees, I promise you I'm going to have you investigate.

00:07:04Give him his money, Sullivan.

00:07:07Now, you've got your money.

00:07:08Sure.

00:07:09That's all you have, Tom.

00:07:10Certainly.

00:07:10Then get out.

00:07:19Here's the money for Pal's license, Billy.

00:07:33Honest?

00:07:35Gee.

00:07:36Pal and me will never forget you for this.

00:07:39But that doesn't mean that you're forgiven.

00:07:40There's still no excuse for taking anything that doesn't belong to you.

00:07:44No matter what the reason.

00:07:46And if you ever come before me again,

00:07:48I'm going to send you up the river.

00:07:52Maybe for life.

00:07:57Case dismissed.

00:07:58That is, that's satisfactory to Miss Allen.

00:08:03Sullivan.

00:08:04Take the boy down and get his dog for him.

00:08:06Yes, sir.

00:08:08Uh, never mind, uh...

00:08:09Sullivan.

00:08:10If you wait here a minute for me, Billy,

00:08:12I'll take you down to get Pal.

00:08:13All right, ma'am.

00:08:14The decision was entirely satisfactory to Miss Allen.

00:08:31Oh.

00:08:32Sit down.

00:08:34I have something I want to tell you.

00:08:35What?

00:08:37I was horrid just now.

00:08:38And I'm sorry.

00:08:40You were wonderful.

00:08:41So are you wonderful.

00:08:42What have I been telling you all along?

00:08:43Twenty-eight times my actual count have asked you to marry me.

00:08:46And what have I said each time?

00:08:48Will you marry me?

00:08:49I certainly...

00:08:50Now, Joan, you're getting me all mixed up.

00:08:51That isn't what I said.

00:08:53I meant that we're both wonderful.

00:08:55Just like two and two makes four were wonderful.

00:08:57Come over here.

00:08:59See you across the street?

00:09:00It's the Marriage License Bureau.

00:09:02They can add us up in a jiffy.

00:09:04No, Roger.

00:09:05It won't work.

00:09:07Twenty-nine.

00:09:07I wish it were just a problem in simple arithmetic.

00:09:15But there's too much higher mathematics involved.

00:09:20We've both had too much of everything.

00:09:23Too much money.

00:09:24Too many luxuries.

00:09:27We don't know what it is to really live.

00:09:29No.

00:09:32I want to marry a poor man.

00:09:34A man of the people.

00:09:36A man of the...

00:09:37What's the matter with me?

00:09:38Didn't I take this juvenile court job when I could have gone with the biggest law firm in town?

00:09:42What have I got to do to be a man of the people?

00:09:43Talk like Gene Autry?

00:09:44You know, you may work out after all.

00:09:48I was really surprised at you today.

00:09:50Not a trace of snobbishness.

00:09:52What do you mean, snobbishness?

00:09:53Anybody could see the boy was telling the truth.

00:09:55All he needs is to have someone give him a decent chance.

00:09:58Exactly.

00:09:58And I'm going to see what we can do about it.

00:10:00We?

00:10:01Joan, you mean that?

00:10:01You mean that we...

00:10:02I'm going to see his father.

00:10:04Oh, his father.

00:10:05Anybody can see his father.

00:10:09And the score was six to five.

00:10:12Come on, Billy.

00:10:13We'll go ahead and catch your dog.

00:10:14Gosh, Miss Allen, I hope he's all right.

00:10:16Oh, certainly he is.

00:10:18Bye, Judge.

00:10:19Bye, Billy.

00:10:20And don't worry not about your money,

00:10:21because I'll pay you back as soon as Pop gets a job.

00:10:24All right.

00:10:26Goodbye, Joan.

00:10:28Bye, Roger.

00:10:37Sullivan,

00:10:37what do you know about the boy's father?

00:10:41Well, not very much, sir.

00:10:43Except that he was a Marine in the last war.

00:10:46And quite a hero, I guess.

00:10:48They wouldn't let him come back on account of his physical condition.

00:10:51And they almost lost his mind about it.

00:10:54And he's drinking too much for his own good.

00:10:56Here we are.

00:11:17It ain't much, but like Pop says, it's home.

00:11:20Well, that's all that really matters, Billy.

00:11:25Shall we go in?

00:11:27Yes, ma'am.

00:11:27Well, I tell you, Miss Allen,

00:11:45maybe I'd better go in first to see if Pop's sleeping,

00:11:48because he gets mighty tired looking for work,

00:11:50and, well, he wouldn't like it none if I brought ladies calling

00:11:54without giving him a chance to spruce up first.

00:11:57Here, have a seat.

00:11:58Come to think of it,

00:12:08maybe you'd rather sit on a porch.

00:12:10It's, well, like Pop says,

00:12:12it's much cooler there, anyhow.

00:12:13Thank you, Billy.

00:12:17All right.

00:12:18I'll stay here and keep you company.

00:12:27Boy, he's sure a fine dog, ain't he?

00:12:30Well, I'll be out in just a minute.

00:12:32Boy, old Pop be surprised.

00:12:37Pop!

00:12:38Oh, Pop!

00:12:39Hey, Pop, where are you, Pop?

00:12:43Hey, Pop, where are you?

00:12:50Hey, Pop!

00:12:52I'm home.

00:13:00Hey, Pop!

00:13:13I guess he ain't home yet, Miss Allen,

00:13:21but you can come in.

00:13:22I can't expect him any minute now.

00:13:23Well, this is it.

00:13:35Of course, there ain't no frills,

00:13:37but that's because these are bachelor diggings.

00:13:40That's what they call them in England, the captain says.

00:13:43Well, who's the captain, Billy?

00:13:45That's my Pop,

00:13:46Captain William Freeman

00:13:48of the United States Marine Corps.

00:13:50You mean to say you ain't never heard

00:13:53of Wild Bill Freeman?

00:13:55Mm-mm.

00:13:57Say, now, that's awful.

00:14:00Look.

00:14:02This is what they gave him.

00:14:04Look at who signed it, too.

00:14:06The Secretary of War.

00:14:08Is that your father, Billy?

00:14:10This one?

00:14:11Mm-hmm.

00:14:12That's him, all right.

00:14:13Of course, he's changed a bit.

00:14:16Would you like to see some of his medals?

00:14:18I'd love to.

00:14:19Oh, they're beautiful.

00:14:31My, he must have been a very brave man to win these.

00:14:35Say, he still is.

00:14:37He's the bravest man in town.

00:14:39Only, well, some folks don't seem to remember.

00:14:43I guess that's why he has such a tough time getting a job.

00:14:46Oh, I'm sure that's why.

00:14:47So am I.

00:14:49Look it.

00:14:50This is his distinguished service cross.

00:14:55Wonderful.

00:14:57Would you like to see some of the medals he brought back?

00:14:59I'd love to.

00:15:02They're right in there.

00:15:13Oh, excuse me.

00:15:15That's just where me and Pop keep all our old junk.

00:15:19Gosh, it's sure funny how stuff piles up, ain't it?

00:15:21It happens to everybody.

00:15:24Here, let me help you tidy up a bit.

00:15:26Oh, that's all right, Miss Allen.

00:15:27I can do it.

00:15:30Gosh, it's funny you're coming today.

00:15:32Pop and me always clean up on Fridays.

00:15:34Well, he wouldn't like it none of...

00:15:37if he knew you saw the place looking like this.

00:15:41That's all right, Billy.

00:15:42Oh, but where's the broom?

00:15:45Gosh, I don't know, Miss Allen.

00:15:47Billy.

00:15:48Billy.

00:15:49Billy.

00:15:51Oh, thank you, pal.

00:16:02What do you know, it's right there all the time.

00:16:04Handy like you know.

00:16:08Gee, this is swell to you, Miss Allen.

00:16:10Oh, I like doing it, Billy.

00:16:14Oh, there's a cat one.

00:16:21Captain.

00:16:22Oh, hello, Billy boy.

00:16:24You all right, Pop?

00:16:25We got company.

00:16:26Well, let me.

00:16:27I'm going to come and call on.

00:16:28Her name is Miss Allen.

00:16:29She's a big society lady.

00:16:30And she fixed it up with the judge so I wouldn't have to go to jail.

00:16:32And Paul wouldn't have to be shot.

00:16:34Children?

00:16:35Shot?

00:16:35What are you talking about?

00:16:35Oh, it's all right now, Pop.

00:16:36I'll tell you about it later.

00:16:38Come on.

00:16:49Oh, my God, you've got company.

00:16:50Well, my God, you've got company.

00:16:52What are you talking about?

00:16:55Oh, my God.

00:16:56Miss Allen, this is my pop, Captain Wild Bill Freeman.

00:17:15How do you do, Captain Freeman?

00:17:17How do you do, Miss Allen?

00:17:21My apologies, Miss Allen.

00:17:23You see, your boy didn't tell me.

00:17:25It's my fault.

00:17:26I'm afraid I intruded.

00:17:28Not at all, Miss Allen, not at all.

00:17:31Billy, chair for Miss Allen, quick.

00:17:34Yes, sir.

00:17:36Here, Miss Allen.

00:17:37Thank you, Billy.

00:17:40Any luck today, Pop?

00:17:42No luck today or any other day, son.

00:17:46Have you tried any of the defense plants, Mr. Freeman?

00:17:49They should have something for you.

00:17:50Well...

00:17:51That'd be all right, Miss Allen, but...

00:17:54You see, Pop's waiting for a letter from Washington.

00:17:56He's going to be a Marine again.

00:17:59Maybe he's going to be a major.

00:18:01Or even a lieutenant.

00:18:03Aren't you, Pop?

00:18:04Well, I'm afraid not, Billy.

00:18:07I...

00:18:07The letter came, and...

00:18:09I guess they don't need Wild Bill Freeman anymore.

00:18:12You can't pass the physical.

00:18:14Too old, I guess.

00:18:16Too old?

00:18:17But you're a valuable man.

00:18:20Why, you're no older than...

00:18:22than General MacArthur, and look what he's doing.

00:18:26No use, Billy.

00:18:28I'm sorry.

00:18:30I guess this is one war the Freemans ain't going to help win.

00:18:34Well...

00:18:34Well, maybe they'd take me, Pop.

00:18:36Maybe if we lie a little bit, and...

00:18:39Maybe if I stand up real straight and tall...

00:18:41Maybe they would, huh, Pop?

00:18:43Afraid maybe they wouldn't, Billy.

00:18:45But we could try, couldn't we?

00:18:47You understand, Miss Allen.

00:18:49How there's got to be at least one Freeman in this war.

00:18:53Well, I'm afraid your daddy's right, Billy.

00:18:55You're really much too young.

00:18:57But...

00:18:58But I'm tall for my age, and...

00:19:00And I'm strong, and...

00:19:01Oh, Pop, what are we going to do?

00:19:13Look.

00:19:14Here's an idea that may solve your problem.

00:19:16See what you think of it.

00:19:18Did you ever hear of the Army Patrol dogs?

00:19:20No, ma'am.

00:19:21Well, those dogs have to enlist in the Army just like people do.

00:19:25And they're regular soldiers just like anybody else.

00:19:27Their job is to stand guard with Army sentries at camps, outposts,

00:19:32and even with guards at defense plants.

00:19:34Does that give you any ideas?

00:19:36Gee, I don't know.

00:19:38How could that help us Freemans?

00:19:41How could we...

00:19:44Pal!

00:19:46We could, couldn't we, Pop?

00:19:48Pal's sort of a Freeman, and...

00:19:49Well, he could carry on the tradition, couldn't he?

00:19:52Well?

00:19:53Well, yeah.

00:19:55Yeah, I guess maybe he could.

00:19:57Sure.

00:20:00Well, Pal, I guess that settles it.

00:20:04Tension.

00:20:08Ready.

00:20:14Ain't you excited, Pal?

00:20:16Just think, you're going to be...

00:20:18And he had plenty of company.

00:20:21There were Great Danes.

00:20:24Doberman Pinschers.

00:20:25Other Shepherds.

00:20:30Airdaels.

00:20:32And Collies.

00:20:34All of them confused and wondering at their strange new surroundings.

00:20:39Then came their first day out.

00:20:44Each one led by a kindly, understanding trainer into the main yard.

00:20:49Like raw recruits they were.

00:20:50And being mere dogs, they imagined they were being brought of their confinement to frolic and get acquainted.

00:20:58They were frisky and unruly as they barked their hellos and swapped stories.

00:21:02In dog language, of course.

00:21:04But what's this?

00:21:10What does that man doing?

00:21:12What does he have there?

00:21:15Suddenly, our canine rookies find out as one explosion after another comes over.

00:21:20Pal and the others bark, frightened and angry.

00:21:22Unable to understand why the trainers have turned on them.

00:21:25Now they're using bigger ones, louder ones.

00:21:28You won't be hurt.

00:21:33Quiet.

00:21:36Quiet, boy.

00:21:37That's all.

00:21:38They keep it up day after day.

00:21:44What Pal and the others don't seem to understand is that an army dog must get accustomed to gunfire,

00:21:48whether he ends up patrolling or on some battlefield.

00:21:52Before long, they get used to it.

00:21:54Pal is now completely unafraid.

00:21:56He has learned lesson number one.

00:21:58He'll never be gun shy again.

00:22:03Now wait a minute.

00:22:04This is going too far.

00:22:06That'd blast anyone's ears off.

00:22:08Look out.

00:22:14Now what do you make of that?

00:22:18Well, Pal, it's that you and your friends will have to resign yourselves to going through that smokescreen.

00:22:23You know, you might have to do that in actual warfare.

00:22:26Forget how you always hated smoke.

00:22:28You're a soldier now.

00:22:31Attaboy.

00:22:34Easy.

00:22:34It's only smoke.

00:22:36It won't hurt you.

00:22:37It's going to be an army dog.

00:22:39You'll have to learn how to take it.

00:22:42Just to make it tough, let's see how you and the boys do with the hurdles under the same conditions.

00:22:47Oh, so you can't wait now.

00:22:56That's the way.

00:22:58Just like taking milk from a kitten, isn't it?

00:23:01Smoke or no smoke, obstacles or no obstacles, you're ready.

00:23:05Here they are again after a week of obedience training.

00:23:19They've learned to heal, to follow the trainer without straying, jumping or barking.

00:23:23And they've learned to stay or stop when that command is given.

00:23:26Detail.

00:23:27And they've learned to help.

00:23:27Detail.

00:23:28Detail.

00:23:29Halt.

00:23:30Relieve.

00:23:31Guard.

00:23:32Forward.

00:23:33Fire.

00:23:34Return.

00:23:35Guard.

00:23:36Forward.

00:23:37Fire.

00:23:38Return.

00:23:39Guard.

00:23:40Forward.

00:23:41Fire.

00:23:42Park!

00:23:45See tail, attention!

00:23:48See tail, forward!

00:23:51Park!

00:23:54Right turn, march!

00:24:03To the rear, march!

00:24:08To the right, flank, march!

00:24:16Detail, bump!

00:24:20Relieve, guard!

00:24:23Forward, march!

00:24:26Yes, this is a far cry from their original confusion

00:24:29when they were first brought out into the training ground.

00:24:32All right, boys, at ease.

00:24:36Here, here, is this any way to treat a fellow after he's been such a good dog?

00:24:44What are you trying to do, get me mad?

00:24:46You hit the nail right on the head, pal.

00:24:49That's the idea exactly.

00:24:51You've got to be vicious when the enemy lunges at you or your master.

00:24:54Leap at him.

00:24:57It won't hurt yourself as long as that spring is there to relieve the strain.

00:25:01That's right, grab that burlap sack.

00:25:06Grab anything he hits you with.

00:25:08Risk it from him.

00:25:09That's going to be your job.

00:25:11Pull and pull hard until he lets go.

00:25:14Good boy.

00:25:19You're convinced now, aren't you, that you're stronger than he is.

00:25:23From now on, you'll always win out because it's been planted in your mind that you are stronger.

00:25:28Look at those scars.

00:25:31No wonder they wrap the trainer's arm like that.

00:25:36Why does he wear a coat with such soft panting?

00:25:42You could almost bite through that, couldn't you, pal?

00:25:45Maybe you will, and your teeth might hurt the trainer.

00:25:48But not half so much as it might hurt you if he were padded with something harder.

00:25:52And once that happens, you would never try it again.

00:25:56So rather than ruin a good army dog, the trainer is going to take that chance.

00:26:05Here he comes, firing to anger you, which doesn't faze you much now.

00:26:09All you want is to get at that arm and hold on to it until he drops that gun.

00:26:14Well, here's your chance, pal.

00:26:22After him, boy.

00:26:29Nicely done.

00:26:32At the trainer's command, you let the enemy go.

00:26:34Then, close by, you help transport your prisoner to safekeeping,

00:26:40wary of him every step of the way.

00:26:43You've learned your job, pal.

00:26:45Like Billy said, you're a real army patrol dog.

00:26:54Well, if it isn't Captain Freeman.

00:26:57Hiya, Sergeant.

00:26:58And Billy.

00:26:59Hello, Sergeant Jay.

00:27:00Say, I hope we aren't interrupting anything, but the boy and I were just going by.

00:27:03I thought we'd stop in and see how pals getting along after all these weeks.

00:27:06He's a real soldier, sir.

00:27:07You should be proud of him.

00:27:08Shucks, Sergeant Day.

00:27:10It just comes natural to pal.

00:27:12Because he's a fighting Freeman, that's all.

00:27:13Well, sir, I tell you.

00:27:15He's a fighter, all right.

00:27:16And smart.

00:27:17As trainer Wilson here says, three weeks has been and you should see him.

00:27:20A veteran, sir.

00:27:21Will you be seeing action soon, Sergeant?

00:27:23Well, it won't be long.

00:27:24It won't be long.

00:27:25I'm making final inspection tomorrow and figure to axe up these dogs for the army.

00:27:29Maybe you two would like to stay and see what's going on here.

00:27:31Well, I'm afraid we'll have to be going, Sergeant.

00:27:34The boy has to go to school and I have a job to finish.

00:27:38What is it, sir?

00:27:40Ask him, Pop.

00:27:41You know.

00:27:42What?

00:27:43Oh.

00:27:44Sergeant, you suppose we might see pal for a few minutes?

00:27:48The boy kind of wants to have a word with him.

00:27:50Well, sir, it's not according to their rules, but oh, I'll take a chance.

00:27:54Trainer Wilson's a good scout.

00:27:56Come on in.

00:27:57Thank you, Sergeant.

00:27:58Oh, Wilson.

00:27:59Do you mind if we see pal?

00:28:01You see, this is the first time pal's been away from home and, well, I kind of miss him.

00:28:26Stay.

00:28:27That's why they don't like to have them see their owners.

00:28:29They forget and disobey.

00:28:30All right, pal.

00:28:31Pal, I'm surprised that you acting the way you did today.

00:28:38forget and disobey all right pal

00:29:53um

00:30:02Let's go back.

00:30:32Come in.

00:30:48Are you Judge Davis?

00:30:52That's right.

00:30:53Do you want to see me about something?

00:30:55Yes.

00:30:55You see, my name's William Freeman.

00:30:58You're Billy's father.

00:31:00I'm awfully glad to see you.

00:31:01I've heard quite a bit about you.

00:31:03Well, Billy doesn't exactly mention you in passing either.

00:31:06According to him, you're the greatest man outside the White House.

00:31:08Oh, that's a pretty big order.

00:31:10I hope you won't be too disappointed.

00:31:11Won't you sit down, Mr. Freeman?

00:31:14Now tell me, is this a social visit or official?

00:31:17Well, it's a little of both.

00:31:18First off, I wanted to meet you, and secondly, I think the Freemans are indebted to you.

00:31:22Indebted?

00:31:23What do you mean?

00:31:24Did Billy ask you to?

00:31:25No.

00:31:26As a matter of fact, Billy didn't even mention it, which isn't like him.

00:31:30Miss Allen happened to tell me.

00:31:32Miss Joan Allen?

00:31:34Yes, you know her.

00:31:35I certainly do.

00:31:36Yes, I know, Miss Allen.

00:31:41Getting back to Billy, Mr. Freeman, it really isn't surprising that he hasn't told you because

00:31:46he's been paying me in installments.

00:31:48I've got a record of it here somewhere.

00:31:50Let's see, I always keep a record of everything I do, or most everything.

00:31:55I always have it because Billy comes in, and I never know when he's going to come in, so

00:31:58I always have it.

00:32:00More keys, I never can find locks to fit them, though.

00:32:04Here.

00:32:05There we are.

00:32:06I knew I'd find it.

00:32:08There.

00:32:0983 cents so far.

00:32:11That's pretty good, huh?

00:32:12What a kid he is.

00:32:14Well, let me pay the balance.

00:32:15Oh, if you don't mind, Mr. Freeman, I'd rather you didn't.

00:32:18You see, this is between Billy and me, and if his sense of obligation doesn't permit

00:32:22him to tell you, and he wants to take care of it himself, I say let him do it.

00:32:26Let him make his own way.

00:32:27It's good for him.

00:32:28He seems to realize it, so certainly we should.

00:32:31Well, come to think of it, I guess maybe you're right.

00:32:34I think I also understand why he thinks so much of you.

00:32:37Miss Allen, too.

00:32:39Miss Allen, what did she say?

00:32:41Not as important, you know.

00:32:43I just thought maybe you might remember.

00:32:45Well, I don't remember anything special, except I know she speaks well of you.

00:32:51Oh, just, just well?

00:32:53Yes, as a matter of fact, she was saying only the other day that she thought you should

00:32:56keep more in touch with Billy.

00:32:58She was?

00:32:59Yes, of course.

00:33:00I don't know anything about these things, but isn't it part of your duty to keep in touch

00:33:04with Billy through her?

00:33:06I mean, unless you're too busy here in the office.

00:33:09Well, of course I am.

00:33:10I'm pretty busy.

00:33:12I...

00:33:12But you're right.

00:33:13It's my duty to see more of her.

00:33:15Because of Billy.

00:33:18Because I will see more of her.

00:33:21Still, uh...

00:33:22Um...

00:33:22Well, uh, tell me, Mr. Freeman, is, uh...

00:33:25How are things going with you?

00:33:27You hear any more from, from the Marines?

00:33:29No, I couldn't pass the physical.

00:33:31But I'm going to keep on trying, because I'm in better shape now.

00:33:34I haven't touched a drop in weeks.

00:33:35Oh, that's fine.

00:33:36You know what I think the trouble was, Judge?

00:33:37I've been reading all this stuff about what our enemies are doing to our innocent people,

00:33:42and it drives me funny.

00:33:43And then I think those same things can happen to my boy, and it drives me crazy.

00:33:47And I start drinking to forget about it.

00:33:50But one day I said to myself, Bill, I said, this drinking isn't doing you any good.

00:33:54You're on the wrong beam.

00:33:56Now snap out of it.

00:33:56Get on the new beam and see how you feel.

00:33:58And how do you feel, Bill?

00:33:59I feel fine.

00:34:00I feel perfect.

00:34:01Well, I could go out right now and fight two wars like that last one.

00:34:04Well, I'm taking it easy.

00:34:05I'm biding my time.

00:34:06I have a few more weeks of good hard work and healthy living,

00:34:09and I can pass any exam they want to give me.

00:34:11That's the spirit, and you'll make it, too.

00:34:12Oh, I hope I will.

00:34:14You know, it's an awful thing to know that you can't help, and you want to help.

00:34:17But you can't get back in to do it.

00:34:20Oh, I'm sorry, Judge.

00:34:23I'd better be going.

00:34:25It's been awful nice to talk to you, and...

00:34:27I'm glad you dropped in.

00:34:28Will you please come out and see us real soon,

00:34:30and don't forget what I said about Miss Allen.

00:34:33I certainly shan't.

00:34:34Goodbye, Judge.

00:34:58Goodbye, Judge.

00:34:59Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:00Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:01Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:02Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:03Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:04Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:05Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:06Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:07Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:08Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:09Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:10Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:11Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:12Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:13Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:14Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:15Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:16Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:17Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:18Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:19Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:20Goodbye, Judge.

00:35:21Go away, pal.

00:35:51Pal, pal, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in camp?

00:35:57So you went over the hill, huh?

00:36:00Well, I never thought I'd see the day when a Freeman was a deserter.

00:36:05I ought to turn you over to the MPs right this minute.

00:36:08But no, sir, I'm going to give you another chance.

00:36:21I'm going to talk to the sergeant and see if I can swear you with it.

00:36:29Hello, Sergeant A? This is Cap Freeman.

00:36:32Have you got a dog, A-W-O-L?

00:36:35Yeah, he's here and looking mighty remorseful.

00:36:40What do you want me to do with him?

00:36:42As bad as that, huh?

00:36:52Well, I'll see what I can do for you.

00:36:54Sergeant, if he promises never to do it again,

00:36:58will you take him back as a special favor to me?

00:37:03Just a minute.

00:37:05Pal, he says he'll take a chance on you.

00:37:08But I've got to be responsible for you from now on.

00:37:11How about it?

00:37:13You promise?

00:37:17He promises, Sergeant.

00:37:20Good. I'll be right over with it.

00:37:26So long, pal.

00:37:28Remember what you promised.

00:37:34Sorry about the dog, Sergeant.

00:37:36I'm sure it won't happen again.

00:37:37And, uh, thanks.

00:37:39Are you in a hurry?

00:37:40Because if you're not, we're doing some interesting things here.

00:37:43You might enjoy it.

00:37:44All right, boys.

00:37:51What, sir?

00:37:52I'll tell you.

00:37:53In this one, the man is hidden in the bushes.

00:38:00Then the dog is turned loose.

00:38:02No leash this time.

00:38:03No leash this time.

00:38:12And if he's a good patrol dog, which we hope he is,

00:38:14he'll find his man, run him down, and disarm him.

00:38:17Say, that's pretty good, Sergeant.

00:38:18Now he's found his man.

00:38:31He'll follow him through fire and water.

00:38:34Now if you step over here, we can see better what's going on.

00:38:37You'll notice, sir, the dog doesn't hesitate.

00:38:55Now watch closely.

00:38:56If the man is armed, sir, he'll shoot.

00:38:58Now watch closely.

00:38:59If the man is armed, sir, he'll shoot.

00:39:01If the man is armed, sir, he'll shoot.

00:39:20If the man is armed, sir, he'll shoot.

00:39:29I've been reading all this stuff about what our enemies are doing to our innocent people, and it drives me funny.

00:39:35You know, it's an awful thing to know that you can't help and you want to help.

00:39:51You can't get back in the door.

00:39:53The dog hangs on until the trainer calls him off.

00:40:07Out!

00:40:14Well, sir, isn't he good?

00:40:20Captain Freeman!

00:40:24Wilson!

00:40:27Did you see Captain Freeman leave here? He was here a minute ago.

00:40:30No, I didn't see him leave.

00:40:32Well, sir, isn't that funny?

00:40:53Yo, I thought it was the Captain, but we always pretend like I'm the orderly.

00:40:54Well, that's the reason for that fancy apron, huh?

00:41:04Yes, sir.

00:41:17I thought it was a captain. We always pretend like I'm the orderly. Oh, that's the reason with that fancy apron, huh?

00:41:22Yes, sir. Won't you sit down, please? Well, thank you, Billy.

00:41:28I don't know what's keeping the captain. He's kind of late. Well, he's all right, isn't he? Oh, sure. He's never been better.

00:41:35I guess something must have kept him. Maybe he got a new job, huh? That's probably what it is, Billy.

00:41:39I'm sure he's all right because he dropped in to see me today. We're old friends now.

00:41:43Well, then, if you've already met him, we'd better be running along. We don't want to hold dinner up when the captain gets home.

00:41:49Oh, don't go, Miss Allen. Pop would probably be very glad to see you again.

00:41:54There. That's probably him now saying he'll be right home. Or will he be surprised when I tell him who's here?

00:42:03Hello, Captain.

00:42:06Colonel? When they make it that, Pop?

00:42:09Oh, excuse me, Colonel Mason.

00:42:15I thought it was my Pop calling.

00:42:18No, sir. He ain't home yet.

00:42:21Can I take a message?

00:42:25What?

00:42:26Would you mind repeating that, sir?

00:42:29All right, son.

00:42:31Now, listen carefully.

00:42:32I just received notification from Washington

00:42:35they're going to give your father another chance.

00:42:38They're willing to stretch your point and take him back into the Marines.

00:42:41They did?

00:42:43Honest?

00:42:45That's wonderful, sir.

00:42:47My Pop's going to be the happiest man in the world when he hears this.

00:42:52Yes, sir.

00:42:53I will.

00:42:55And me and my Pop both appreciate it.

00:42:57Well, goodbye, Colonel.

00:43:01And I hope they make you a general for this.

00:43:04A general, sir.

00:43:09Miss Allen, Judge Davis, did you hear?

00:43:11They're going to give Pop another chance.

00:43:14They're going to take him back into the Marines.

00:43:16Isn't that wonderful?

00:43:18Now Pop won't be the only one.

00:43:20It's going to be Captain Wild Bill Freeman of the United States Marines again.

00:43:25Oh, Miss Allen, I'm so happy.

00:43:28Why doesn't Pop come home so I can tell him?

00:43:31Oh, come on now, Billy.

00:43:32Don't be so excited.

00:43:34Your daddy will be home soon.

00:43:36Then think what fun you'll have telling him all about it.

00:43:38Well, look now, I think I hear footsteps.

00:43:40That must be the captain.

00:43:45Cap?

00:43:50Oh, Pop.

00:43:52Hello, Billy.

00:43:53What?

00:43:55Miss Allen, hello, Judge.

00:44:01Sorry.

00:44:02Oh, Captain.

00:44:04Why'd you do it?

00:44:06Why?

00:44:07What's the colonel going to tell them in Washington now?

00:44:12Colonel?

00:44:14Colonel?

00:44:14Colonel, what colonel?

00:44:16Colonel Mason.

00:44:18He just called and said they're going to give you another chance.

00:44:21Another chance?

00:44:22There's a chance.

00:44:26It's too late, Billy.

00:44:27It ain't no use.

00:44:29I had a look in today.

00:44:35Is that any way to talk, Bill?

00:44:36After what you told me this morning?

00:44:38I can't help it.

00:44:39I can't help it.

00:44:39I tell you, I can't help it.

00:44:41Billy!

00:44:42Get a hold of yourself.

00:44:49Of course you can help.

00:44:52Just your imagination.

00:44:54You told me so today, don't you remember?

00:44:56You want to get some rest, Bill?

00:45:05That's what you need.

00:45:21You'll be all right, Billy.

00:45:22It just needs a little rest.

00:45:27And Billy, if I were you,

00:45:30I wouldn't mention the Marines

00:45:32or anything about soldiering or the war.

00:45:36You know what your dad needs most

00:45:37is a good job to keep his mind occupied.

00:45:40There's nobody who gives Dad a job.

00:45:44They all think he's crazy.

00:45:47I don't think so, Billy.

00:45:49And I think maybe I can find him a job.

00:45:52Do you really, Roger?

00:45:55Will you try?

00:45:58I would anyway, for Billy's sake and his,

00:46:01but if you'll promise to keep looking at me like that,

00:46:04I'll get him a job if I have to build

00:46:06a factory of my own to do it.

00:46:08Isn't he wonderful, Miss Allen?

00:46:22Now, well, it isn't so much that it's our obligation

00:46:37to give a World War hero like Freeman a job, Dave,

00:46:40as it is a thought that by giving him a job,

00:46:43you're giving him back his self-respect.

00:46:45He just finished a small job for Neff, the contractor,

00:46:47and you want to see the change in him.

00:46:49All right.

00:46:49Suppose I give Freeman a job

00:46:50and he might cause damage

00:46:52that would throw a whole section out of commission.

00:46:54Do you know what those few lost hours would do?

00:46:57Well, I have a pretty good idea, but...

00:46:59But you don't really know.

00:47:00No.

00:47:01All right.

00:47:02Now, let me show you something.

00:47:04Those few hours would mean a few days

00:47:08in some 25 plants spread over the country,

00:47:11plants that depend upon us to supply them with parts.

00:47:14And over on some battlefield,

00:47:16that would mean several weeks of disastrous waiting.

00:47:19And they can't wait on battlefields, Roger.

00:47:21No, and they mustn't.

00:47:23You're right about that.

00:47:26I just thought...

00:47:27Well, perhaps you might be able to find a job

00:47:29for him on the stock room.

00:47:30Say, there's a thought.

00:47:31He couldn't get into much trouble there, could he?

00:47:32Oh, that's grand, Dave.

00:47:34I knew you wouldn't let me down.

00:47:36Roger, I hope you understand my problem.

00:47:39I can't let a thing hamper us.

00:47:40Production must be kept going,

00:47:42regardless of breakdowns, priorities, or sabotage.

00:47:45Sabotage?

00:47:46Oh, say what you ought to have

00:47:48of some of those army patrol dogs to guard your plan.

00:47:51They're the best protection you can get.

00:47:53Well, now you've got something.

00:47:55I've been wanting to look into that for some time,

00:47:56but I've been so busy.

00:47:57What do you know about them?

00:47:59I know they're the best insurance

00:48:00against saboteurs you can get.

00:48:01You see, they're trained

00:48:03to patrol right along with your guards.

00:48:06Oh, they'll send trouble a mile away.

00:48:08They always got their man, too.

00:48:09I'm sold.

00:48:10How would you like to take care of the details for me

00:48:12since you're so interested?

00:48:13I'll do more than that.

00:48:14I'll pick the first dog for you.

00:48:15Good.

00:48:16Now, would you please let me alone for the duration?

00:48:18I certainly will.

00:48:20You're practically alone right now.

00:48:22By the way, Dave,

00:48:23if there's anything I can do for you,

00:48:24just let me know.

00:48:25You're a little late, Roger.

00:48:26I haven't been in juvenile court

00:48:27since I broke a window playing baseball.

00:48:29Good morning, Judge.

00:48:32Goodbye, Dave.

00:48:32I'll do it again.

00:48:48Box now.

00:48:49Nixon, the German friend.

00:48:53When do we contact Henkel?

00:48:55In a couple of days, maybe.

00:48:56He'll give us our orders then.

00:48:57Come on, let's get into our street clothes.

00:49:01Then we'll bury these rafts in these doors.

00:49:27We'll bury them.

00:49:51$1,000 a week.

00:49:51$2,000 a week.

00:49:51The

00:49:52Station

00:49:53One

00:49:54One

00:49:55One

00:49:56One

00:50:10One

00:50:12Where

00:50:13You

00:50:14How about?

00:50:16What

00:50:17You

00:50:18There he comes, Billy.

00:50:36Hey, Bob!

00:50:37Bob!

00:50:38Billy!

00:50:42Billy, this is a surprise, a welcoming committee.

00:50:46What?

00:50:47No photographer.

00:50:48We've got something there, Bob.

00:50:50Look!

00:50:55Pal, what are you doing here?

00:50:58Well, sir, I tell you, he's reporting for duty.

00:51:01Sentry duty, sir.

00:51:03Mr. Titus asked for him.

00:51:04Special.

00:51:05Come on, pal, let's go.

00:51:07Good luck, pal.

00:51:10I certainly can't say the Freemans aren't all out for the war effort, can they, Bill?

00:51:13Look, how about a little all-out effort for dinner?

00:51:15Or is the celebration off?

00:51:17Celebration?

00:51:18In what celebration?

00:51:19Just because I'm going on the night shift?

00:51:21Because you and pal are working together.

00:51:23Me, the judge, and Miss Allen are going to take you out.

00:51:25Why, that's wonderful.

00:51:28Thanks, I guess I'm just a lucky fellow.

00:51:31This is just the beginning of your luck, Bill.

00:51:33From now on, the brakes are going to be rolling at you just like off an assembly line if I'm

00:51:36any judge.

00:51:36Gee, I guess that settles it then, Pop.

00:51:39Because, boy, he sure is a judge.

00:51:40I've checked on the movement of the trucks for the last 30 days, and they travel on almost

00:51:50perfect schedule.

00:51:52You understand everything clearly?

00:51:54Everything, Henkel.

00:51:56And you, Fred?

00:51:56I understand.

00:51:58We won't fail.

00:51:58We can't fail.

00:51:59We'll use this new type of corrosive gas bomb.

00:52:06Besides being highly explosive, it'll corrode and destroy every machine in the building.

00:52:11Now, this is how it's used.

00:52:13According to Henkel, that truck ought to be along by now.

00:52:43What's the matter, buddy?

00:52:48My pal got hit by a car.

00:52:50Give me a hand so I can get him to the hospital.

00:52:51Sure.

00:52:54You take his feet.

00:53:13Go ahead, Hans.

00:53:43Joe Hawthorne, 708.

00:53:54On through.

00:53:55They're waiting for that stuff.

00:54:13Here we are.

00:54:23Don't move or make a sound.

00:54:31Keep those men busy.

00:54:34All right.

00:54:35Start unloading that truck.

00:54:36Act like nothing's happening.

00:54:43All right.

00:55:13Oh, my God.

00:55:43Oh, my God.

00:56:13There's gunfire in the back rail.

00:56:27Oh, my God.

00:56:29Oh, my God.

00:56:31Oh, my God.

00:56:33Oh, my God.

00:56:35Oh, my God.

00:56:37Oh, my God.

00:56:39Oh, my God.

00:56:41Oh, my God.

00:56:43Oh, my God.

00:56:45Oh, my God.

00:56:49Oh, my God.

00:56:51Oh, my God.

00:56:53Oh, my God.

00:57:02Oh, my God.

00:57:05Well, that's pretty rough.

00:57:07Hey, what's that?

00:57:18It's a bomb!

00:57:20Run!

00:57:30After him, pal!

00:57:35heaven and heaven...

00:57:40Heavens!

00:57:47Heavens!

00:57:52You have to go!

00:57:56I know you were mad.

00:58:02And...

00:58:03Get off me! Help! Get off me! Help! Get off me!

00:58:22Get off me! Get off me!

00:58:32Let's go!

00:59:02Let's go!

00:59:05Let's go!

00:59:07I think I'd better go in first. You and Pal wait here.

00:59:22Maybe you're right.

00:59:23Oh.

00:59:24I think I'd better go in first. You and Pal wait here.

00:59:29Maybe you're right.

00:59:31I think I'd better go in first. You and Pal wait here.

00:59:34Maybe you're right.

00:59:35You're right.

00:59:36Oh.

00:59:37Hello.

00:59:42Hello.

00:59:43I was just taking a last look at the captain's thing before I put him away for good.

00:59:55I know.

00:59:56I guess they won't want this little trunk up there.

00:59:59Where, Billy?

01:00:00At the orifice asylum.

01:00:01That's where I gotta go.

01:00:02They've got folks no more.

01:00:03Would you keep the captain's things for me, Miss Allen?

01:00:04I'd be glad.

01:00:05I'd be glad.

01:00:06I'd be glad.

01:00:07I'd be glad.

01:00:08I'd be glad.

01:00:09I'd be glad.

01:00:10I'd be glad.

01:00:11I'd be glad.

01:00:12Billy, but I have something better to suggest.

01:00:13How would you like to come and live with us?

01:00:14Huh?

01:00:15Mm-hmm.

01:00:16I'll tell you a secret and it'll be one nobody else has.

01:00:19I mean, I'd be glad.

01:00:20I'd be glad.

01:00:21I'd be glad.

01:00:22I'd be glad.

01:00:23I'd be glad.

01:00:24I'd be glad.

01:00:25Oh.

01:00:26Oh.

01:00:27Oh.

01:00:28Oh.

01:00:29Oh.

01:00:30That's all.

01:00:31Oh.

01:00:32Oh.

01:00:33Oh.

01:00:34Oh.

01:00:35Oh.

01:00:36Oh.

01:00:37Oh.

01:00:38Oh.

01:00:39Oh.

01:00:40secret, and it'll be one nobody else will know for a while. That is, unless you tell

01:00:45the judge. Oh, I promise I won't tell anybody, Miss Allen. Well, the judge's bachelor days

01:00:51are over. But I don't know exactly how to tell him that I'll marry him. You see, I've

01:00:57said no for so long, maybe he's changed his mind. Oh, he wouldn't do that, would he, Miss

01:01:02Allen? May I answer that? I'll never change my mind. How? Oh, boy, how are you? I'm

01:01:10sorry, Joan, if I came in at the wrong time, but Pal was terribly impatient, and did you

01:01:16mean too sad about us? No, I didn't say it just for Billy's benefit. Say, this is swell.

01:01:23You and Miss Allen getting married? Pal here? Say, why isn't Pal at the plant? Why isn't

01:01:30he on duty? Well, Pal got a 15-day leave, Billy, for being such a hero. Oh. Now, how about

01:01:35it? Are you and Pal going to come and live with us?

01:01:40I guess that takes care of Pal. How about you, Billy? I rather hoped you would, because

01:01:54we're going to need a man in the house. Sort of a, well, sort of a sergeant to sort of take

01:01:58charge of things when I go into the service. The service? You mean the Marines like the

01:02:03captain? That's right. Only I'll be just a private. But it won't be long before you'll

01:02:06be able to be almost as proud of him as you are the captain. Oh, sure I will. And Pal's

01:02:12going to be famous, too. Boy, I'll be the happiest boy in the world. Gee, you and Pal just

01:02:19got to win this war.

01:02:21We will, Billy. Just like the captain helped win the last one. Only this time we're going

01:02:25to fix it so, so you don't have to win a war ever. That's it. See, um, will you help me

01:02:33with the trunk, please? Oh, I certainly will. Help me with your coat, too. Thank you.

01:02:37All right. Here, Whit. It's the collar outside. All right. Got to be fancy. There we are.

01:02:46Come on.
