00:02:08Good evening, Sergeant.
00:02:10Good evening.
00:02:11I'd like to see Captain McTavish.
00:02:12What's the name, please?
00:02:14Gilbert.
00:02:15What do you want to see him about?
00:02:17Something confidential and private.
00:02:20Very private.
00:02:23Well, what about it?
00:02:25Well, I'll have to know what it's about.
00:02:27I can't phone the captain without knowing.
00:02:29You know, he's a pretty busy man.
00:02:31I've...
00:02:33Oh, that's different. Excuse me.
00:02:39Yes?
00:02:40Captain, there's a man here by the name of Gilmore.
00:02:42Said he'd like...
00:02:43Gilbert.
00:02:44Huh?
00:02:45Gilbert.
00:02:46Oh, yes, Gilbert.
00:02:47Gilbert.
00:02:48Captain, there's a man by the name of Gilbert.
00:02:50Says he wants to see us.
00:02:51Very important.
00:02:52I'm sure you'll want to see him.
00:02:53I'll be right out.
00:02:54Said he'd be right out.
00:02:56I'll be right out.
00:02:58I'll be right out.
00:03:00Good evening, Captain.
00:03:01My name's Gilbert.
00:03:02How do you do?
00:03:03I'd like to have a little private talk with you.
00:03:04Hello, Captain.
00:03:05Good evening, Miss Blaine.
00:03:06You, uh...
00:03:07You wouldn't draw a story to a poor starving girl reporter, would you?
00:03:08No.
00:03:09And you keep away from Gahagan.
00:03:10Why?
00:03:11People beginning to talk?
00:03:12Come right in, Mr. Gilbert.
00:03:15We'll be glad to cooperate with you, Mr. Gilbert.
00:03:17But I thought the Secret Service, like the G-Men, didn't work with the police.
00:03:20Well, ordinarily, we don't work with anyone at all.
00:03:22I don't know.
00:03:23I don't know.
00:03:24I don't know.
00:03:25I don't know.
00:03:26I don't know.
00:03:27I don't know.
00:03:28Well, ordinarily, we don't work with anyone at all.
00:03:30But occasionally, situations arise where the local police can do things that we can't,
00:03:34without tipping our hand.
00:03:36Now, this is such a case.
00:03:37I need a police officer to front for me.
00:03:39And, from what we know in Washington, Steve McBride is our man.
00:03:42Well, it's quite an honor.
00:03:44Well, there'll be honor enough in this for all of us if we get our man.
00:03:47The Secret Service have been after him for 14 years.
00:03:50Who is it?
00:03:51Bailey?
00:03:52That's right.
00:03:53Hundred-dollar Bill Bailey.
00:03:54I understand he's pretty smooth.
00:03:56Doesn't go for any rough stuff.
00:03:57Yeah, that's right.
00:03:58But the brainiest of them slip up now and in.
00:04:00And Bailey has finally made a mistake.
00:04:02Yeah?
00:04:03Is that so?
00:04:04Yes.
00:04:05He quarreled with one of his own men.
00:04:06We got to him and found that Bailey was coming out here to pass the stuff at the races.
00:04:11Well, if you know that, it ought to be easy to nab him.
00:04:13Now, the only way we can do that is to give him his head for a while.
00:04:16Let him think he's getting away with it.
00:04:18You mean you're going to let him pass some of his counterfeit of the track?
00:04:21No one will be stuck with it.
00:04:23The department in Washington has made arrangements with the local Federal Reserve to honor Bailey's counterfeit until we are ready to close in.
00:04:30I can understand that.
00:04:32And we'll be only too glad to have a hand in it.
00:04:34Well, first, I want you to get me on one of the hundred-dollar windows at the track where I can spot the bills as they come through and tip my men to follow the passers.
00:04:43Well, I can get you on the window, all right.
00:04:45That track steward owes us a few favors, doesn't he, Captain?
00:04:48Good.
00:04:49But don't let him know I'm a government man or what I'm working on.
00:04:51And then you'll have to see the editors of the newspapers and ask them to kill any stories about counterfeit circulating.
00:04:57I'll get the newspapers to play ball.
00:04:59Steve, keep away from torture if this thing is over.
00:05:02I'll do that, Captain.
00:05:04Miss Blaine, my fiancee, is a newspaper woman.
00:05:06And I won't be the word to her.
00:05:07Well, I hope you don't, old man.
00:05:09Say, I'd like to see that track steward and get everything settled tonight, if I could.
00:05:13All right, we can drive out to his house right now.
00:05:15Fine.
00:05:16Oh, incidentally, McTavish, you better make the routine check on me with Brennan.
00:05:21All right, I'll phone Brennan.
00:05:22Oh, send him a note.
00:05:23That's the routine way of doing it.
00:05:25Then you'll have a record for your file.
00:05:27Just check for identification.
00:05:29Brennan knows I'm here and why, but I'm not supposed to contact him until I need him.
00:05:33Yes, I understand that.
00:05:34I'll tell Gahagan to bring the car around.
00:05:36Oh, I was going to have Gahagan take a note to Brennan.
00:05:38Say, my car is parked down the block.
00:05:40Why not use that?
00:05:41All right, I won't need Gahagan.
00:05:42Hmm, I'll get the car.
00:05:45I won't need you.
00:05:46I'm going to drive McBride somewhere because Gahagan is taking a note to Brennan.
00:05:50Put the car in front of the station.
00:05:57What's on your chest there, handsome?
00:05:59Captain wants to see it.
00:06:01What have I done now?
00:06:08I feel a poem coming on.
00:06:11Captain McTavish is a Scotchman.
00:06:14McBride and me is mix.
00:06:17If I tell Torchy one more thing, they'll send me to the sticks.
00:06:23Not bad.
00:06:24Not bad.
00:06:25Did I send for you?
00:06:30I mean, did you send for me, Captain?
00:06:32Yes.
00:06:33Sit down.
00:06:34Yes, sir.
00:06:43I think that ought to cover it.
00:06:44Yeah, that ought to do it.
00:07:01Mr. Hagan.
00:07:02Yes, sir.
00:07:03I want you to take this note to Tom Brennan and the Federal Building.
00:07:06Is the office open this late, sir?
00:07:07If it isn't, they'll give you his home address.
00:07:08Yes, sir.
00:07:09I mean, yes, sir.
00:07:10Bring back his answer.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:12And don't show that to Torchy Blaine.
00:07:13Oh, you know B, boss.
00:07:14Yeah, that's the trouble.
00:07:15Yes, sir.
00:07:16You all ready, Mr. Gobert?
00:07:17Yes, my car is down front.
00:07:18All right, let's go.
00:07:19Thank you, Captain.
00:07:20I'll go.
00:07:21Thank you, Captain.
00:07:22All right, let's go.
00:07:23Thank you, Captain.
00:07:24All right.
00:07:25All right.
00:07:26All right.
00:07:27All right.
00:07:28All right.
00:07:29All right.
00:07:30All right.
00:07:31All right.
00:07:32All right.
00:07:33All right.
00:07:34All right.
00:07:35Thank you, Captain.
00:07:36You're going to be a great help.
00:07:38Now, see you all later.
00:07:41Well, I've begun to think dinner was going to turn into breakfast.
00:07:44Oh, I'm sorry, Torchy, but I can't take you to dinner.
00:07:47You what?
00:07:48You mean, oh, you mean on account of this gentleman here.
00:07:52Well, he can have dinner with us.
00:07:54Oh, this is Miss Blaine.
00:07:56I mean, Miss Blaine, this is Mr.
00:07:59Mr.
00:08:00Gilbert.
00:08:01How do you do, Mr. Gilbert?
00:08:02How do you do, Miss Blaine?
00:08:03You'll have dinner with us, won't you?
00:08:04Well, I'd like to, but we have something to...
00:08:05Oh, we can't do it, Torchy.
00:08:06We have some important business.
00:08:07I'll call you later.
00:08:08Come on, Mr. Gilbert.
00:08:11Hmm.
00:08:12I think I'll have a snoop instead of a stick.
00:08:23Stevie!
00:08:25Stevie!
00:08:26Torchy, I thought I made you understand.
00:08:27We've got important business.
00:08:28Well, I'm stuck here.
00:08:29Drop me someplace.
00:08:30I'll see you tomorrow.
00:08:31Go ahead, Mr. Gilbert.
00:08:32Look out now.
00:08:33Go ahead, take care of yourself.
00:08:34Go on!
00:08:35Get him!
00:08:37Get him!
00:08:38Get him!
00:08:39Get him!
00:08:40Oh, don't ever do that, Torchy.
00:08:44Now, what's the matter?
00:08:45I forgot to tell Steve something important.
00:08:47Follow him, Paul.
00:08:48Oh, listen, Torchy.
00:08:49Listen.
00:08:50I'm sorry.
00:08:51I can't do that.
00:08:52I've got an important errand to do.
00:08:53What have you got to do?
00:08:54Well, I've got to deliver a note to, uh, to, uh...
00:08:58Mr. Brennan of the United States.
00:09:06Gee, Torchy, I've come there saying something I shouldn't have.
00:09:08I've got to get out of here.
00:09:10Let me just throw it in.
00:09:11Let me just throw it in.
00:09:12Let me just throw it in.
00:09:17There's a fine couple of basketball players.
00:09:22Let me just throw it in.
00:09:27Wait a minute, Buddy.
00:09:28Wait a minute, buddy.
00:09:36Who are you, and who do you think you're talking to?
00:09:38I'm a cop.
00:09:39Well, you'll have to prove it.
00:09:40Says who?
00:09:41Says us.
00:09:42We're from the DA's office.
00:09:44Yeah?
00:09:45Well, you guys must be new on the staff.
00:09:47What?
00:09:47Everybody knows me.
00:09:48I'm Gahagan, Lieutenant McBride's driver.
00:09:51Well, you'll have to prove it, buddy.
00:09:53There's a guy going around in a phony police car
00:09:55posing as a cop making stick-ups.
00:09:56Yeah, but this ain't no phony police car.
00:09:59And here's me badge.
00:10:00Yeah?
00:10:01This guy stole a badge, too.
00:10:02What other identification have you got?
00:10:05Well, I got me wallet with me police card.
00:10:07There it is.
00:10:11What's this letter?
00:10:12Well, that's a letter from Cap McTavish
00:10:14to Operator Brennan in the post office.
00:10:16You see, I'm doing Secret Service work
00:10:17for the next half hour.
00:10:19Do you think he's all right?
00:10:20I guess so.
00:10:21Here you are, Gahagan.
00:10:22All right, buddy, be on the lookout for this guy, will you?
00:10:24And if you pick him up, it may mean a promotion for you.
00:10:27Okay, I'll keep me eyes open.
00:10:28No phony cop can fool me.
00:10:30So long and good luck.
00:10:32See you later.
00:10:38Mr. Brennan?
00:10:40Yes?
00:10:40I'm Gahagan from Cap McTavish's office.
00:10:42Ah.
00:10:43Here's a letter for you.
00:10:44Those are all right, John.
00:10:45Thanks.
00:10:46Well, it's after 9.30.
00:10:48Don't tell me that old buzzard's still up.
00:10:50He is.
00:10:52Well, let's see.
00:10:53He told me to wait for an answer.
00:11:09Make yourself at home, Dr. Higgins.
00:11:11Thanks.
00:11:11Thanks.
00:11:12Oh, here you are, Gahagan.
00:11:37Here we are.
00:11:41Thanks.
00:11:42Do you smoke?
00:11:43I smoke anything.
00:11:44Have a cigar.
00:11:46Oh, thanks.
00:11:48Colorado Cabagio.
00:11:50Colorado Cabana.
00:11:51Oh, yeah, my Greek ain't so hot.
00:11:53I'll smoke it a little later.
00:11:55Nothing like a good cigar.
00:11:57It reminds me of a poem I once wrote.
00:11:59When your head is all a muddle, and your noise is all ajar, and you've got no one to cuddle, you'll get a joy in a cigar. Not bad.
00:12:10Well, not good.
00:12:12Yeah, but not bad.
00:12:14You better get back with that note, Gahagan.
00:12:16Okay, I'm on my way.
00:12:17Thanks again for the cigar.
00:12:19Bye-bye.
00:12:25Lester.
00:12:26Lester, darling.
00:12:27Lester.
00:12:27Oh, Lester.
00:12:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:12:32What is this?
00:12:33Lester, you can't do this to me.
00:12:36How can I do what I ain't doing?
00:12:38Father, you see how he treats me.
00:12:40Young man, what do you mean by spurning my daughter?
00:12:43I didn't do no such thing.
00:12:44I never even met the dame.
00:12:48I've made a mistake.
00:12:50Oh, I'm so sorry, but you are the living image of my Lester.
00:12:53We apologize, Mr. Humbly.
00:12:55Uh-huh.
00:12:56Mr. Gahagan is the name.
00:12:58Come along, Gickham.
00:12:59Well, what are you laughing at?
00:13:03Your face.
00:13:03Well, yours is no moaner, Lester.
00:13:05Get out of the way.
00:13:05How did the garlic come off?
00:13:19As it always does, without a hitch.
00:13:21Do you suppose Gahagan is wise to anything?
00:13:23Not a chance.
00:13:24What do I do about this letter?
00:13:27Give it to me.
00:13:27Yeah, and I got one here, too.
00:13:28Yes.
00:13:30I'll save him for Bailey, and he'll add them to the collection.
00:13:32Say, when do we start shoving the quay?
00:13:34From what happened tonight, I think Bailey will start working the racetrack tomorrow.
00:13:41Here you are, Cap.
00:13:43Swell guy, that Brennan.
00:13:44Ho, ho, ho.
00:13:45What did he do?
00:13:46Kiss you?
00:13:48Huh?
00:13:48Say, where did you get that lipstick on your face?
00:13:51Lipstick?
00:13:53That must have come from that dame that kissed me.
00:13:55Listen, Gahagan, when the captain sends you on an important errand, you're not supposed to stop and play kissing games.
00:14:00Well, I didn't stop.
00:14:01In any way, it wasn't me she thought she was kissing.
00:14:03Say, have you been drinking?
00:14:05Oh, no, Cap.
00:14:06I haven't touched a drop in months.
00:14:08Five minutes after I get through telling you not to talk to Torchy Blaine, I catch you showing her where you're going.
00:14:14Say, what's ailing you?
00:14:16Well, it's me mind.
00:14:17It's working all the time.
00:14:19I'm just fatigued, I guess.
00:14:21I think he needs a rest, Cap.
00:14:23So do I.
00:14:24Take her two weeks.
00:14:26Right now.
00:14:27Oh, that's great.
00:14:28It'll give me a chance to work on that horse betting system I perfected.
00:14:31Thanks, Cap.
00:14:32Two weeks vacation?
00:14:33Oh, I don't know why I'm coming over that guy lately.
00:14:38Neither do I.
00:14:54Here, Steve, read that.
00:14:58Gilbert's an important man in the Secret Service, all right.
00:15:00Well, it's nice to see you, Charlie.
00:15:04I'm glad you stopped here.
00:15:05Come in again sometime.
00:15:06Okay, Nigel.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:07Good luck.
00:15:09Torchy!
00:15:11Come here.
00:15:16Sit down.
00:15:19When are you going to hand me a story that's worth your salt?
00:15:21Well, there's a story on whatever Steve's working on now, but I haven't been able to find him for two days.
00:15:26Now, lay off what Steve's working on.
00:15:27Let him alone.
00:15:29Well, this is interesting.
00:15:32My boyfriend's working on a case that's so important he won't even talk to me about it.
00:15:35And my news-hungry editor tells me to lay off of him.
00:15:38Now, listen, Torchy.
00:15:39There's certain things we can't even touch.
00:15:41Oh, like this Mr. Gilbert, for instance?
00:15:43I can't even discuss it with you.
00:15:46So they've got you muzzled.
00:15:48Well, listen, big boy, they're not going to muzzle me.
00:15:50I'm a newspaper woman with a set of old-fashioned morals and ethics that tell me I have an obligation to my readers.
00:15:55I'm going to crack this Gilbert case.
00:15:57And if you don't print the story, I'll take it to a paper that will.
00:16:02Torchy!
00:16:02Come here!
00:16:03I'm going to lose my job, my livelihood, my pittance if I don't get a story.
00:16:10Well, how can I help?
00:16:11By telling me what you know about that Gilbert case the lieutenant's working on.
00:16:14Now, why, now, I couldn't tell you anything about that.
00:16:17Not even to save my job?
00:16:18I'd lose my job.
00:16:20Oh.
00:16:21Oh, well, I wouldn't want you to do that.
00:16:24Where's Gahagin?
00:16:25On vacation.
00:16:26He's playing the races and cleaning up with a system he's got.
00:16:29Gahagin has a system?
00:16:31Yes, sir, and he's getting rich fast.
00:16:33The lieutenant said when he saw him at the track yesterday...
00:16:36Steve was at the track yesterday?
00:16:38So that's where he's been hiding.
00:16:40Now, listen, Miss Blaine, if he ever finds out that I let that slip...
00:16:43Oh, he won't find out.
00:16:45I haven't even seen you, Sergeant.
00:16:47I just heard about Gahagin beating the races and I'm going out to swipe the system.
00:17:00Number three to win.
00:17:02Yeah.
00:17:03Did you send your man after that guy in a white suit?
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:28Ask me this.
00:17:29Phony, huh?
00:17:30Bailey's special.
00:17:32I'll stick with your man in case he gets into trouble.
00:17:34Hey, hey, Steve.
00:17:35Come here.
00:17:37Don't follow him.
00:17:38He might spoil everything.
00:17:39Let my man do it.
00:17:40When I give you the word, step in, but not before.
00:17:42You know, one slip and we're dead.
00:17:44Okay, I'm sorry.
00:17:45But I'm itching for action.
00:17:47No, you'll get it.
00:17:48Don't worry.
00:17:48Don't worry.
00:17:48Why don't you look where you're going.
00:17:54I ain't going no place.
00:17:56Gahagin.
00:17:57Torchy.
00:17:58Welcome to the sport of kings.
00:18:00What a day.
00:18:01What a day.
00:18:02Come on, listen.
00:18:02Be a pal now.
00:18:03Let me in on that system.
00:18:04How did you find out about it?
00:18:05Oh, everybody's talking about it.
00:18:07Okay, I'll tell it to you, but you've got to keep it mom.
00:18:10I'll be very secretive.
00:18:12I don't care about that, but you've got to keep it mom.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:16Come on, let's go somewhere where normal hairs.
00:18:21There's a good place up there.
00:18:26Come on, I'm all ears in my palm inches.
00:18:28Well, I'll tell you how it works.
00:18:30First, I concentrate.
00:18:32Or a window of trains.
00:18:34Then I make my mind go blank.
00:18:36That should be very easy.
00:18:37Make my mind go blank?
00:18:39It's the easiest part of the system.
00:18:41As I was saying, I make my mind go blank until a number pops into it.
00:18:45A blank number?
00:18:45A blank number.
00:18:46No, no, any number.
00:18:48Then I multiply the number by the same number,
00:18:51and the last number of the result is the horse I plunked on.
00:18:54Simple, ain't it?
00:18:55Simple.
00:18:57Listen, Professor, I haven't your keen mathematical mind,
00:18:59so let's get on to cases.
00:19:00How do you intend to bid this next race?
00:19:03Oh, well, I never bother with those things.
00:19:06Let me see.
00:19:11Number six.
00:19:13Six times six is 37.
00:19:15Number seven is our horse.
00:19:17Six times six is 36.
00:19:19Are you sure?
00:19:21It has been for the last few years.
00:19:24Well, I guess it's number six we bet on,
00:19:25although number seven feels better to me.
00:19:27And I don't like to go against me mathematics.
00:19:32There goes the bugle.
00:19:33Better get your bet down.
00:19:34And remember, keep my system to yourself.
00:19:37Only me and you and Steve know anything about it.
00:19:39Did you let Steve in at it?
00:19:41Oh, sure.
00:19:42But you know, Steve,
00:19:43I think the system is a little too much for his mental faculties.
00:19:47Where is Steve?
00:19:49There he is.
00:19:53And there he's been standing for two days,
00:19:55like one of them flowers in a pot.
00:19:59I'll meet you at the rail.
00:20:00Well, stranger.
00:20:09Oh, hello, Torchy.
00:20:11What are you doing here?
00:20:12I came out to interview a horse,
00:20:13but it's like the police department.
00:20:15He won't talk.
00:20:16How's your luck?
00:20:17Well, I, uh,
00:20:18I haven't been playing much.
00:20:23Ha, ha, fancy that.
00:20:25What?
00:20:25There's your friend, Mr. Gilbert.
00:20:27Where?
00:20:28Where?
00:20:28Don't give me that where.
00:20:29You've been acting like a screener
00:20:30ever since I started talking to you.
00:20:32Now, listen, Torchy,
00:20:33get this straight.
00:20:34Mr. Gilbert came to see me and McTavish
00:20:35about, uh,
00:20:37about a private matter.
00:20:38Whereupon you start dodging me,
00:20:40refuse to return my calls,
00:20:41and camp at the racetrack
00:20:43where Gilbert works.
00:20:44Oh, nothing of the kind.
00:20:45I simply came out here to, uh,
00:20:47to learn Gahagan's system, I know.
00:20:50You pardon me
00:20:51while I put two frog skins
00:20:52on a Gahagan special.
00:20:55The fourth race.
00:20:57The horses are entering the gate
00:20:58and they're all lined up nicely.
00:20:59It looks like a well-behaved field.
00:21:04Sea Breeze has just broken through
00:21:05and is causing trouble.
00:21:07Look at the way
00:21:07that Sea Breeze is acting up.
00:21:09Sea Breeze?
00:21:10Yeah, number six.
00:21:11The horse we're betting on.
00:21:14Maybe he's just rearing to go, huh?
00:21:16I hope so,
00:21:17but I still think
00:21:18we should have bet
00:21:18our number seven war race.
00:21:21There they go.
00:21:23Which one is our horse?
00:21:24The last.
00:21:25Well, they're not there all by themselves.
00:21:28Rainbow in front by a length.
00:21:29My girl is second
00:21:30and war race.
00:21:30You think he's got a chance
00:21:31to come in, huh?
00:21:32Yeah, but don't sit up for him.
00:21:35Around the turning end
00:21:36at the backstretch.
00:21:37It's rainbow by a head.
00:21:38War race on the rail is second.
00:21:39My girl is third
00:21:40and fair play.
00:21:42Around the far turn
00:21:43and coming for home.
00:21:44It's rainbow by a head
00:21:45and war race.
00:21:45War race is driving hard
00:21:47and it's war race and rainbow.
00:21:48War race is in front
00:21:49by a length.
00:21:50War race wins
00:21:51by a length and a half.
00:21:52War race.
00:21:53My number seven.
00:21:54I told you I had a feeling.
00:21:56After this,
00:21:57I'm going to use
00:21:57my own system.
00:21:59What do you know
00:21:59about mathematics anyway?
00:22:01All I know is
00:22:02I want to stay.
00:22:03Have you got any around here?
00:22:04Yeah, over there.
00:22:05Only they call them hamburgers.
00:22:07Oh, hello, Steve.
00:22:25Hello, Tom.
00:22:26What are you doing here?
00:22:28You know what I'm doing here.
00:22:31Oh, trying to make it the hard way.
00:22:32Over there.
00:22:34Listen to Brennan McBride.
00:22:36Let me know
00:22:36what they're talking about.
00:22:38Okay, Chief.
00:22:41You been over
00:22:41to $100 window?
00:22:43I got orders
00:22:43to stay away
00:22:44from the $100 window.
00:22:45From Washington?
00:22:46No, from my wife.
00:22:48Say, I haven't
00:22:48cashed a bet all day.
00:22:49Give me something good
00:22:50in the last race, will you?
00:22:51Hello, Chief.
00:22:52Hi, Gahagan.
00:22:53Mr. Brennan,
00:22:53you know Gahagan, my driver.
00:22:55Oh, hello, Mr. Brennan.
00:22:56Hello, Gahagan.
00:22:57Yeah, I know Mr. Brennan
00:22:58from way back.
00:22:59Have a cigar.
00:23:00And they're your kind.
00:23:01Colorado Cabagio.
00:23:03Oh, thanks.
00:23:04I'll smoke it later.
00:23:05Nothing like a good cigar.
00:23:06after dinner.
00:23:07That's right.
00:23:07Reminds me of a poem.
00:23:09I heard it.
00:23:11That's right, you did.
00:23:13Say, Gahagan,
00:23:13give Tom something
00:23:14good in the last race,
00:23:15will you?
00:23:15With pleasure.
00:23:17Number eight.
00:23:18Number eight.
00:23:19Oh, that's an awful dog.
00:23:21Can't help it.
00:23:22My assistant says he's hot.
00:23:23I have $100 for number nine
00:23:24to win.
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:27$100 for number nine
00:23:28to win.
00:23:30There goes the bugle.
00:23:30Get your bet down.
00:23:31I'll see you in the stands
00:23:32and tell you all about it.
00:23:33See you later, Chief.
00:23:33Okay.
00:23:34Well, I'll take a flyer on it.
00:23:35See you later.
00:23:36You're back.
00:23:44Nothing stirring
00:23:45but a breeze.
00:23:46Just small torment.
00:23:49The bride's watching.
00:23:51Follow that Greek
00:23:51who just went out.
00:23:52was that one of your men
00:24:02you sent after him?
00:24:03Hmm, Gonzales,
00:24:04one of my assistants.
00:24:05You know who the Greek is?
00:24:07I'm not sure, Stevie,
00:24:09but I think that's Bailey himself.
00:24:11No kidding.
00:24:12I hope he didn't recognize you.
00:24:13No, he's not suspicious
00:24:15or he wouldn't come near the track.
00:24:17Hope Gonzales don't lose him.
00:24:19He won't.
00:24:20We'll have a line on there
00:24:21to hide out tonight.
00:24:22That suits me.
00:24:23I'm fed up with doing nothing.
00:24:24Hey, Hagen, where have you been?
00:24:29I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:24:30Gee, Torchy,
00:24:31you know how much
00:24:32me and Mr. Brennan
00:24:32won on the last race?
00:24:34How much?
00:24:34Six hundred bucks a piece.
00:24:36And that's what happens
00:24:37when nobody interferes
00:24:38with me mathematics.
00:24:39Hey, Hagen, you're marvelous.
00:24:41Where did you go to school?
00:24:42P.S. 14 on 28th Street,
00:24:44but the system's me own idea.
00:24:46Yes, sir.
00:24:47Eight times eight is 68.
00:24:49Have you heard
00:24:50that six times six is 37?
00:24:52No.
00:24:53Yes.
00:25:03Hello, Steve.
00:25:05Hello, Gil.
00:25:08Much bad money passed today?
00:25:11Plenty.
00:25:14There you are.
00:25:15Holy smokes.
00:25:17How do you manage
00:25:18to take this from the window
00:25:18without being short?
00:25:19Why, replace it
00:25:20with my own money.
00:25:21How do you like that?
00:25:22That's the most genuine
00:25:23looking stuff I've ever seen.
00:25:25I couldn't tell it
00:25:26from the real McCoy.
00:25:27Why, you could spend
00:25:27that anywhere in the world, Steve.
00:25:29Sure.
00:25:36Well, I've got to go, Steve.
00:25:38My boys will be reporting in.
00:25:40Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:25:42Boy, am I dying
00:25:43to get my hands
00:25:44on that guy, Bailey.
00:25:45Well, I'll be right
00:25:46with you when you do.
00:25:48Okay.
00:25:52Good along.
00:25:52Good along.
00:25:52Good along.
00:25:59Good along.
00:26:00Good along.
00:26:01Good along.
00:26:01Good along.
00:26:02Good along.
00:26:02Good along.
00:26:03Good along.
00:26:03Good along.
00:26:04Good along.
00:26:04Good along.
00:26:05Good along.
00:26:05Good along.
00:26:06Good along.
00:26:06Good along.
00:26:07Good along.

00:26:15Good along.
00:26:16Good along.
00:26:17Good along.
00:26:18Good along.
00:26:19Good along.
00:26:20Good along.
00:26:21Let's go.
00:26:51What is this guy, a fish?
00:27:13Hello, Chief.
00:27:13Hello, Marie.
00:27:15How are you?
00:27:15Fine.
00:27:16Good.
00:27:19Hello, boys.
00:27:20Hi, Chief.
00:27:22Say, I just had a little fun ditching McBride's girlfriend.
00:27:25Listen, boss.
00:27:26If that dame gets in your hair, I'll wash her out.
00:27:29Oh, gloomy.
00:27:30When you've been with me for a while, you'll learn to solve your problems with brains instead of bullets.
00:27:36Yeah.
00:27:36Well, I don't like any dames what go gumshoeing around.
00:27:40Well, right now, Miss Blaine's shoes are too wet to do anything but go home.
00:27:44The boys tell me you put on quite an act for McBride down there at the track.
00:27:49Oh, and a very profitable act.
00:27:52There you are.
00:27:53About 10 grand.
00:27:54Hey, I showed him to McBride.
00:27:56Told him it was a phony I picked up.
00:27:58What'd he say?
00:27:59Well, he examined them.
00:28:02He said they were so well made, he couldn't tell them from the good ones.
00:28:05Poor sap.
00:28:06He didn't know that Uncle Sam made them, and they better be good.
00:28:08Have you got help to just how they operate?
00:28:11Yep.
00:28:11I've got the inside on the whole system.
00:28:13I know when the deposit and the bank they use.
00:28:15Everything.
00:28:16And I'll swap a bunch of our stuff for the real McCoy every day.
00:28:19Until we have to take it on the land.
00:28:21When will that be?
00:28:22When the bills get to the Federal Reserve Bank and they send for the Secret Service.
00:28:26Sounds airtight all right.
00:28:28But don't you think that we should have someone watching the Federal Reserve Bank?
00:28:31Well, I'm glad you brought that up.
00:28:33Look, Gonzales, you camp across the street from the Federal Reserve.
00:28:37Every day, from the time it opens to the time it closes.
00:28:40The minute that Brennan or any of his men go into that bank,
00:28:42you hop out to the track and get me to the office.
00:28:43I'll duck out and we'll blow.
00:28:45Okay, Chief.
00:28:45And every night, the government men don't show,
00:28:48they meet me at the apartment in the city,
00:28:49so you can bring the money out here, in case I don't get away.
00:28:52Right.
00:28:53You gonna keep on camping at that city place, boss?
00:28:55Well, I've got to.
00:28:56You can't hear a newsboy calling an extra paper out here in the country.
00:28:59You don't miss a trick, do you, boss?
00:29:01Well, I'd better not.
00:29:03Gee, this is a nerve-wracking business.
00:29:05As soon as this job is finished,
00:29:06I'm going to pick a nice, quiet little home on an island.
00:29:09Far, far away.
00:29:11Well, just be sure it's not Alcatraz.
00:29:18Yeah, but it seems to me this guy Gilbert is working awful slow.
00:29:21You may be right.
00:29:22But these federal men work differently.
00:29:25And as long as he thought enough of us to ask us to work with him,
00:29:28we'd better go along his way.
00:29:30All right, I won't say anything to him then.
00:29:33Hello, Gil.
00:29:34Hello.
00:29:36Good morning, Gilbert.
00:29:38Morning.
00:29:39What's the matter?
00:29:39Anything wrong?
00:29:40Plenty.
00:29:41Bailey shook us off last night.
00:29:42What?
00:29:43How?
00:29:43Well, my man Gonzalez tailed Bailey to a restaurant.
00:29:46Then he phoned me at the apartment.
00:29:48Well, I joined Gonzalez and we followed Bailey.
00:29:50Then who do we find tailing us but Miss Blaine?
00:29:53Miss Blaine?
00:29:58Steve, I'll have to ask you to please keep that girl out of my hair
00:30:01before she spoils everything.
00:30:03Leave it to me.
00:30:04Oh, hello, Steve.
00:30:14What's the matter?
00:30:14Did you dial the wrong number?
00:30:15Listen, Torchy.
00:30:17What's the idea of tailing Mr. Gilbert?
00:30:19So, he's been telling tales to teach her, huh?
00:30:21Listen.
00:30:22You'll keep out of it if I have to frame a charge and throw you in jail.
00:30:25Oh, swell.
00:30:26Then I'll have you pinch for false arrest and maybe they'll put us in the same cell.
00:30:29Wouldn't that be ducky?
00:30:30Uh, I guess he didn't think so.
00:30:42Hi, baby.
00:30:43Hello.
00:30:47Well, what are you going to do, give a bride away?
00:30:50Pass the get-up, huh?
00:30:52Yes, only it's half past two.
00:30:54Oh, I know what time it is.
00:30:55It doesn't look like it.
00:30:56Wearing a morning suit in the afternoon.
00:30:58Well, it was more when I put it on.
00:31:00I'm taking a day off from making my million.
00:31:03Say, Torchy, how about writing a story about me and my system?
00:31:06Why don't you try the comic supplement?
00:31:08Well, you can work in about the ransom bills.
00:31:11About the what?
00:31:12When I made my deposit this morning, the bank people asked me about a bill I got at the racetrack.
00:31:17I don't bet it was kidnapping, though.
00:31:20Gahagan.
00:31:21A light begins to glimmer in the gloom.
00:31:25What gloom glimmers where?
00:31:26Well, I happen to know that they're not looking for any ransom bills in this part of the country.
00:31:30But they might be looking for something else.
00:31:33What for an instance?
00:31:35What denomination was that bill they questioned you about?
00:31:37A hundred dollar bill?
00:31:39And how do you like that?
00:31:40The first one I get my hands on is something the matter with it.
00:31:42Uh-oh.
00:31:43I get it.
00:31:44A hundred dollar bill, Bailey's working the track.
00:31:46And this Mr. Gilbert's a secret service operator sent there to catch him.
00:31:51And they're not going to let me in on it, huh?
00:31:53Well, I'm going to get that, Bailey.
00:31:55Good.
00:31:55And you're going to help me.
00:31:56Oh, Torchy.
00:31:57What's the matter?
00:31:58Oh, I feel a poem coming on.
00:32:02If my job I should lose, you can blame a dame.
00:32:05You can't blame booze.
00:32:06And I'll tell you where to put the blame.
00:32:08Upon the head of Torchy Blaine.
00:32:10Oh, will you stop?
00:32:11I'm going to get you promoted.
00:32:12Here, read this.
00:32:16How did you get on to this?
00:32:27What do you care?
00:32:27It's worth an extra at least.
00:32:29Sorry, kid.
00:32:29We can't print it.
00:32:31Why not?
00:32:31Because we've been asked to lay off.
00:32:33Here the papers, too.
00:32:34Until the government cracks the case.
00:32:35What if they don't land, Bailey?
00:32:36We miss a swell story.
00:32:38They'll get him.
00:32:39They've been saying that for 15 years.
00:32:40So what?
00:32:41What do you want me to do about it?
00:32:42I want you to assign me to this story exclusively.
00:32:45Give me a freehand carte blanche.
00:32:46And all the expense money I need.
00:32:47Stop pipe dreaming.
00:32:48Oh, listen, Maxie.
00:32:50We've caught criminals while Steve and the local police were chasing red herrings.
00:32:53I'll bet you 20 bucks against yesterday's Herald.
00:32:56That I find Bailey before Gilbert does.
00:33:00What can you lose?
00:33:02If I flop and the Secret Service takes Bailey, I'm still on the inside.
00:33:04And you scoop the country on a government story.
00:33:06I don't like it, Torchy.
00:33:07Now, Bailey isn't supposed to be a killer.
00:33:10But if he's Corey, he'll bite and scratch like the other rats.
00:33:12Well, this cat can do a little scratching on her own, too, you know.
00:33:14What do you say?
00:33:17All right.
00:33:18I'll give you the assignment on two conditions.
00:33:20Name them.
00:33:21First, that you don't interfere with Steve or Gilbert in any way.
00:33:24And you don't let them know what you're doing.
00:33:25Oh, Maxie, you're a honey.
00:33:27Oh, Maxie, you know what I think this means?
00:33:40What?
00:33:41That bill they asked me about is counterfeit.
00:33:43Hagen, you're a bright boy.
00:33:44That's why I'm going to give you a job.
00:33:46Oh, but I don't want no job.
00:33:47I'm on me vacation.
00:33:48Never mind.
00:33:48I want you to go out and rent me a bloodhound.
00:33:51A bloodhound?
00:33:52Yes, the kind of a pooch that can smell his way around and step on it.
00:33:55Hagen, I'm going to make you one of the biggest police heroes in the country.
00:33:58Yeah, but I don't want to be a hero.
00:33:59I just want to play me system.
00:34:01Listen, two and two isn't going to be five all your life.
00:34:03Now, go on.
00:34:04No, I never know me own mom.
00:34:14Hello, license bureau.
00:34:16I want to talk to Jimmy Higgins.
00:34:22I camped at a federal reserve all day.
00:34:32The government man didn't show.
00:34:33Good.
00:34:34Give this to the professor.
00:34:36Did you make much of a hold?
00:34:38Plenty.
00:34:38Tell the boys I'll be out later.
00:34:40Right.
00:34:52Hi.
00:35:14Hi.
00:35:14Hi.
00:35:16Hello, kid.
00:35:26Meet Blitzen.
00:35:27That's German for lightning.
00:35:30He acts like he was hit with it.
00:35:31I thought I told you to get a bloodhound.
00:35:33Oh, listen.
00:35:34The way Blitzen can sniff a cradle
00:35:35may a bloodhound look like he had a cold.
00:35:37Who sold you that bill of goods?
00:35:39Schmidt and a police store.
00:35:40Blitzen got a big police written in Germany
00:35:42and Scandinavia and worked Scotland Yard.
00:35:45Which your luck owns.
00:35:46Yes.
00:35:47You didn't eat any of the bird seed in that store, did you?
00:35:49I tell you, he's the McCoy.
00:35:50He don't even speak English.
00:35:52Oh, that's fine.
00:35:52We don't speak German.
00:35:54All we need is a dialect.
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:58Schmidt gave you a book on how to order Blitzen around.
00:36:00How to pronounce the words and everything.
00:36:01Look.
00:36:02Tell him to sit up and show some signs of light.
00:36:05Sit up.
00:36:05Sit up.
00:36:05Sit up.
00:36:06Here, here, here.
00:36:08Sit.
00:36:09Blitzen.
00:36:10Set stick.
00:36:13Are you listening?
00:36:15Set stick.
00:36:16You're sure that's German you're talking?
00:36:20Well, that's what it says in the book.
00:36:22Maybe he doesn't like your accent.
00:36:25I made a mistake.
00:36:27I told him to sit down.
00:36:28And he's doing that already.
00:36:30You see?
00:36:31You can't fool him.
00:36:32That's what they say about horse flies.
00:36:33Give me that book.
00:36:34Blitzen.
00:36:35Blitzen.
00:36:39Blitzen.
00:36:40Come mit Meier.
00:36:43Come mit Meier.
00:36:46Come mit Meier.
00:36:48Come.
00:36:54Come.
00:36:55Here.
00:36:56Snuff.
00:36:57Snuff.
00:36:57Ah.
00:36:59Ah.
00:36:59Ah.
00:37:00Ah.
00:37:00Now go.
00:37:01Remember sit down.
00:37:04Uh, first day?
00:37:05Ah.
00:37:05Shhh! Don't stay so loud. Pipe and seat down.
00:37:14Say, what's the idea of having a dog sniff the tire?
00:37:17I put creosote on the tires. It'll leave a scent on the road that'll last for days.
00:37:20Now all we have to do is wait for Gilbert.
00:37:22He may be along in a few minutes, and then again, it may be hours.
00:37:25Well, as long as we have to wait, how about sitting in my car?
00:37:28Your car?
00:37:30Sure, there it is.
00:37:33My system paid for it.
00:37:35Come on.
00:37:43Six times six is 37.
00:37:47Hey, you know, I think I got this stuff down pat now.
00:37:50Let's see. Stand up. Stay off.
00:37:57That's right.
00:37:59Sit up.
00:38:03What?
00:38:05Sit up.
00:38:11Oh, listen, Gehagen.
00:38:13Kiss me.
00:38:14Oh, Torchy, I can't. What would Steve say?
00:38:16Oh, you stoop, I'm not asking you to kiss me. It's a phrase here in the book. Look.
00:38:20I've got to learn that and spring it on, Steve.
00:38:22Give me a kiss.
00:38:29Hey, what's the big idea?
00:38:30You asked for it. I told you, you can't fool him.
00:38:38Hey, look. Is that him?
00:38:39Yeah, that's him.
00:38:43Down, Blitzen. I mean, Gehagen.
00:38:49After him, but not too close.
00:38:51After him, but not too close.
00:39:02He's going the same way he did last night. Let him get ahead.
00:39:04There's the detour sign, now. Pull over to the side and stop.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:27Come on.
00:39:27Come on.
00:39:43In the car.
00:39:44Gehagen in. Gehagen in.
00:39:48We'll have to stop and let him sniff at every road that turns off.
00:39:50Come on.
00:39:51Come on.
00:39:58Didn't I tell you that pooch knew his onions?
00:40:01Hope he doesn't get them mixed up with that creosote.
00:40:14What does that mean?
00:40:15It means it's the end of the road.
00:40:17Blitzen must have given us the wrong steer.
00:40:19I don't believe it.
00:40:20We must overlook some turning off place.
00:40:22Well, then, let's drive back and...
00:40:29Hey, Torchy, ain't that a gate?
00:40:30Yes. Wait a minute.
00:40:36This must be the place. Come on.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:49It's locked.
00:40:50All right, you have to climb over.
00:40:52Who, me?
00:40:52Shhh.
00:40:53Who, me?
00:40:54Yes, yes.
00:40:55What?
00:40:55Yeah, but what about me? You, Sue?
00:40:57Well, never mind your Sue. Get over, Gehagen.
00:40:58I feel that something's going to happen to my pants.
00:41:04Nothing's going to happen to your pants. Go on.
00:41:10Hey, that's Gilbert now. I'll bet the old geezer's another secret service man.
00:41:16Gee, I'd sure like to get a load of what they're talking about.
00:41:18Why don't you go inside? You could hear better.
00:41:23Where'd you come from?
00:41:25Shhh. Quiet, Shtilly, Blitzen.
00:41:27Shhh.
00:41:30Hello, buddy. Remember me?
00:41:33Of course I remember you.
00:41:34Well, so they got the state's attorneys men working on the case, huh?
00:41:39Quiet, Blitzen. He's a cop, too.
00:41:41Say, what was your name again?
00:41:42Stoneham.
00:41:43Stoneham. This is Officer Stoneham.
00:41:45This is Torchy Plain of the Morning Herald, Lieutenant McBride's Finance.
00:41:49How do you do? How do you do?
00:41:51Shall we go inside?
00:41:53Go in?
00:41:54Yes, let's go in and sit down.
00:41:58Well...
00:41:59All right. Come on, Blitzen.
00:42:09After you, please.
00:42:12Well, Miss Blaine.
00:42:17Oh, Mr. Gilbert.
00:42:19Come in.
00:42:24Well, what a persistent pursuer.
00:42:27It's the ink in my blood, I guess.
00:42:29I'm just as anxious to meet this Mr. Bailey as you are.
00:42:31Well, before we talk about that, tell me.
00:42:34How did you manage to trail me?
00:42:36Creosote on your tire.
00:42:38Oh, I see. You remember your Sherlock Holmes.
00:42:40That's right.
00:42:41But I'm afraid we're a couple of stupid Dr. Watsons.
00:42:44And it's my face red.
00:42:45Oh.
00:42:46Well, I wouldn't worry about that.
00:42:47Won't you sit down?
00:42:51You said you were anxious to meet Mr. Bailey, didn't you?
00:42:54You said it.
00:42:55Stick around. You may have that pleasure any minute.
00:42:58You mean you know where Bailey is?
00:43:00Well, I have a pretty good idea.
00:43:02And you're gonna let me in on it?
00:43:03Well, I think such devotion to duty deserves a reward.
00:43:07You've caught him?
00:43:09Well, no, not exactly.
00:43:11You see, Mr. Bailey has done the catching.
00:43:14Oh, Bailey's done the ca...
00:43:17What?
00:43:19Professor, suppose you present Mr. Bailey.
00:43:22Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
00:43:24Miss Blaine, permit me to present Mr. Bailey.
00:43:27Hey, what's the gag?
00:43:34It's no gag.
00:43:36I get it now.
00:43:38And Steve thought...
00:43:39That I was Mr. Gilbert of the Secret Service.
00:43:42No, my dear. There is no Mr. Gilbert.
00:43:45We manufactured credentials and sold them to Steve.
00:43:47Along with some notes that fooled him in the Secret Service.
00:43:50Gee, those friends must be dumb dicks.
00:43:51No, quite on the contrary. They're very smart operators.
00:43:54Their only mistake is not studying my methods as carefully as I study theirs.
00:43:58Oh, I see.
00:44:00And now may I present the professor, engraver, to America's number one counterfeiter.
00:44:05And may I add, for Mr. Gahagan's benefit,
00:44:08he wrote the letters you so faithfully delivered to Mr. Brennan and Mr. McTavish.
00:44:13How do you like that?
00:44:18Dinner or soy?
00:44:19Bugs, you don't have to stand on ceremony with our friends.
00:44:23They're going to be with us for several repasts.
00:44:28Okay, then come and get it.
00:44:38How did you find the soup?
00:44:40Oh, I just looked into the dish and there it was.
00:44:43And it was swell.
00:44:45So I heard.
00:44:46Well, don't misunderstand me, Miss Blaine.
00:44:52I think Steve is a great guy.
00:44:55And I can understand your affection for him.
00:44:57But you must admit that his appeal is,
00:44:59well, shall we say, one of, uh, brawn rather than brain.
00:45:04Well, let's just wait until the case is finished.
00:45:06You know, last lats and all that sort of thing.
00:45:09Pick up your mitts.
00:45:13Steak!
00:45:15Oh, you must have known I was coming.
00:45:17So you were partial to steaks, Miss Blaine?
00:45:19Oh, it's fondest thing I is of.
00:45:21Sure.
00:45:22She's always pressing Steve to buy her a fillet mignon.
00:45:25And he doesn't?
00:45:26Well, possibly he's too much of a gourmet to indulge what he considers a plebeian pallet.
00:45:32Hey, let's cut out the dirty cracks about Steve.
00:45:35You can't blame him for being fooled when you took in the government, Dix.
00:45:39Should make a swell story. I'd sure love to write it.
00:45:41But maybe I'm not going to write any more stories, huh?
00:45:43Why, of course you are, Miss Blaine.
00:45:46We'll detain you only until I finish my little job at the trap.
00:45:50And when will that be?
00:45:52Well, that depends upon another charming and unpredictable member of your sex.
00:45:56Lady Luck.
00:46:00This looks like a kidnapping to me.
00:46:02And you know what that means.
00:46:04The feds will get us if it takes them ten years.
00:46:06And we'll all wind up in the electric chair.
00:46:08He's right.
00:46:09There shouldn't be any witnesses.
00:46:10There shouldn't even be a corpus delicti.
00:46:12Oh, I know.
00:46:13I only reassured her so she wouldn't suffer while she waits for it.
00:46:17Now, we need something that'll destroy all evidence.
00:46:20But something humane.
00:46:22Can of nitroglycerin with the clock set to go off after we leave?
00:46:26That's it. Arrange it.
00:46:29In the meantime, Gloomy, you and Bugs humor them.
00:46:32Give them anything they want.
00:46:33Remember tomorrow's getaway day.
00:46:35We'll really take them tomorrow.
00:46:38Hello.
00:46:42Hello, Maxie.
00:46:43Do you know where Torchy is?
00:46:45No, Steve. She hasn't been in this morning.
00:46:47Well, where can she be?
00:46:49The landlady said she wasn't home all night.
00:46:51Well, that doesn't sound much like Torchy.
00:46:53Listen, Maxie.
00:46:54Is she working on this Bailey thing?
00:46:57Well, in a way.
00:46:58But she won't interfere with you or the government boys.
00:47:01Well, I told you to keep her out of it.
00:47:03Now, if she comes in, have her call me.
00:47:05Is something going wrong?
00:47:06Miss Blaine's disappeared.
00:47:08No.
00:47:09She's sticking her nose in this Bailey case.
00:47:10I don't like it.
00:47:12Well, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.
00:47:15She strikes me as a girl who can take care of herself.
00:47:18Well, it's late. I've got to get to the trap.
00:47:20Okay, let's go.
00:47:22Give me a bus.
00:47:25Now, give me the other...
00:47:27Pardon me, the air and the...
00:47:29Yeah, I'll give you L-I-V-E-R.
00:47:34Say, I just thought of something.
00:47:36I've got to get out of here.
00:47:38Sit down.
00:47:39Huh?
00:47:40Sit down.
00:47:41Well, how long are you going to keep us here?
00:47:42Bailey's told you when he's finished what he's doing.
00:47:45Now, sit down.
00:47:51Well, he hadn't better keep us here long.
00:47:52Why not?
00:47:53Well, Schmidt only let me have the dog for a day.
00:47:56And if I don't get him back, he'll be looking for me.
00:47:59He will?
00:48:00Sure.
00:48:01That poach is worth dough.
00:48:03Cost me 50 bucks to rent him.
00:48:09Say, listen.
00:48:10The dog hasn't been out all day.
00:48:11I ought to take him.
00:48:12I'll take him.
00:48:14You can't.
00:48:15You don't talk his language.
00:48:17Better take him.
00:48:18The boss told us to humor them.
00:48:19All right.
00:48:20We'll all go.
00:48:21Come on, Blitzen.
00:48:22Come with me.
00:48:23Come.
00:48:24Come on, Flatfoot.
00:48:25You can't call me.
00:48:26Why not?
00:48:28Well, I...
00:48:30I just don't like to work, that's all.
00:48:32Come on.
00:48:33Come on.
00:48:34Come on.
00:48:35Come on.
00:48:36Come on.
00:48:37Come on.
00:48:38Come on.
00:48:39Come on.
00:48:40Come on.
00:48:41Come on.
00:48:42Come on.
00:48:43Come on.
00:48:44Oh boy.
00:48:45Oh boy.
00:48:46Oh boy.
00:48:47What?
00:48:53Listen, go up there and start something.
00:48:55Huh?
00:48:56Go do something to attract their attention.
00:48:57What do I do?
00:48:58I don't care anything, but keep them busy.
00:48:59Go on.
00:49:00Yeah, but...
00:49:01Go on.
00:49:02Go on.
00:49:03Go on.
00:49:04Quick.
00:49:09Oh!
00:49:10What's the big idea, Flatfoot?
00:49:11Geheim.
00:49:12Not house.
00:49:13Schnell.
00:49:14Hey.
00:49:22What are you trying to do?
00:49:23Bring the cops?
00:49:27Hey.
00:49:28Wait a minute.
00:49:30Hey, you.
00:49:31You.
00:49:32Come here.
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:34Get in the house.
00:49:36Both of you.
00:49:43Ferdinand and two of his men showed up at the Federal Reserve.
00:49:45Okay.
00:49:46Hop out.
00:49:47Tell the boys to get everything ready to blow.
00:49:48Right.
00:49:49I'll ditch McBride after the last race.
00:49:50I'll tell the professor where to meet me.
00:49:57He works for McBride, don't he?
00:49:59Suppose the guy that owns the pooch goes to McBride and he puts two and two together.
00:50:03I'm told McBride is rather bad at putting two and two together.
00:50:06You know, your idea was more melodramatic than practical.
00:50:10But, uh, since you folks seem to fancy the melodramatic, we'll give you some.
00:50:14Ropes, gags, secret panels, and all the rest.
00:50:18Go through it, folks.
00:50:19Okay.
00:50:26Maybe I should have married Steve and had babies.
00:50:31Yeah.
00:50:32Let me know if she comes in, will you?
00:50:33Thanks.
00:50:34Goodbye.
00:50:37Thanks a lot, bud.
00:50:38Okay.
00:50:48Hello, Blitzen.
00:50:49Bill, come here.
00:50:50But...
00:50:51Where...
00:50:52Where...
00:50:53Where is he going, huh?
00:50:56Listen, Gil, I haven't been able to find Miss Blaine yet.
00:51:13I'm getting worried about her.
00:51:14Well, I don't think you have anything to be worried about, Steve.
00:51:17I'm willing to bet she'll be phoning you before the night is over, asking you to buy her a steak.
00:51:24Steak?
00:51:25Yes, you were telling me how fond Miss Blaine is of steak.
00:51:28Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
00:51:30Hey, I think I'd better take a taxi into town, Steve. I've got some things to run down.
00:51:34Why don't you come along with me? I'll drive you to the place you want to go.
00:51:37Well, this is confidential. I'd better go along.
00:51:40Well, maybe you can help me.
00:51:41I? How?
00:51:42Well, maybe Miss Blaine has got mixed up with Bailey's.
00:51:44And you know the ropes about him better than I do.
00:51:47Come on, do me a favor.
00:51:48Well, all right.
00:51:52Blitzen, what's going on?
00:51:54No?
00:51:55He should bark.
00:51:57You would think the 50 dollars come out of his pocket.
00:52:00But, Mama, we don't lose the 50 boxes.
00:52:03I tell you, Gehagen comes tomorrow.
00:52:05So, and I tell you, Gehagen has cramped out.
00:52:08What?
00:52:09He told you he needs the dog for police work.
00:52:11Yes.
00:52:12And his landlady told me he is out of the police department.
00:52:15When did she say this?
00:52:16Just now.
00:52:17I was just talking to her over the telephone.
00:52:19And she said he wasn't there yesterday.
00:52:20He wasn't there today.
00:52:21He wasn't there tonight.
00:52:22And he wasn't there tomorrow.
00:52:23Mama?
00:52:24Sweetheart.
00:52:25You know, Gehagen is a friend of Lieutenant McBride.
00:52:29And if Gehagen don't come tomorrow, I will see Lieutenant myself.
00:52:33Why put off from today till tomorrow what should be done yesterday.
00:52:37Mama, pass my word.
00:52:39What?
00:52:40Shut up.
00:52:41You said it.
00:52:44Why don't we set the clock and blow out of here?
00:52:46No.
00:52:47Why not?
00:52:48Because the boss may have changed his plans.
00:52:49You don't think that copper McBride could have had a brainstorm, do you?
00:52:52No.
00:52:53McBride hasn't got the material required for a brainstorm.
00:52:54Papa.
00:52:55What are you doing with Blitzen?
00:52:56I'm doing nothing with Blitzen.
00:52:57You are doing it.
00:52:58What am I doing?
00:52:59You are going to Lieutenant McBride and getting the $50.
00:53:02But Mama, I can go alone.
00:53:04I don't need it at all.
00:53:05But Mama, I can go alone.
00:53:07I don't need it at all.
00:53:08I can go alone.
00:53:09Why not?
00:53:10Why not?
00:53:11Because the boss may have changed his plans.
00:53:12You don't think that copper McBride could have had a brainstorm, do you?
00:53:14No.
00:53:15McBride hasn't got the material required for a brainstorm.
00:53:17Papa.
00:53:18What are you doing with Blitzen?
00:53:19I'm doing nothing with Blitzen.
00:53:20You are doing it.
00:53:21What am I doing?
00:53:22You are going to Lieutenant McBride and getting the $50.
00:53:25I don't need it at all.
00:53:26But maybe the Lieutenant wouldn't believe you.
00:53:28This policeman wants evidence and Blitzen is the evidence.
00:53:31Now go.
00:53:36Yeah, yeah.
00:53:37Blitzen, that's the trouble with us.
00:53:38You are living my life and I'm living yours.
00:53:40That's nice.
00:53:41Mach, dass du rauskommst.
00:53:48Gee, I wish the boss had told us what time to set the blast off.
00:53:50No, don't worry.
00:53:51He'll call us.
00:53:52Yeah, but it's 7 o'clock now.
00:53:54What's keeping him?
00:53:55Calm yourselves, boys.
00:53:56Bailey knows what he's doing.
00:54:03What did you say Gahagan wanted the dog for?
00:54:05For some police work.
00:54:06He wanted to follow a skint.
00:54:08You mean a scent?
00:54:09Yeah, skint.
00:54:11Gahagan wasn't working on any other case, was he?
00:54:14No, but somebody else was.
00:54:16Somebody who might need Gahagan.
00:54:17Who?
00:54:18Miss Blaine.
00:54:19She's been missing for two days.
00:54:21Now we find out Gahagan's been missing too.
00:54:24And this dog that he hired comes back, alone.
00:54:27It's Clara's day, Chief.
00:54:28They're being held somewhere.
00:54:29And the dog got away.
00:54:32What do you think, Gil?
00:54:34I think you boys are trying to hatch a plot where there isn't one.
00:54:37Gahagan's probably been playing that system at the track you told me about.
00:54:40Making more money than he was accustomed to and has gone to his head.
00:54:43What about the dog and the scent?
00:54:45Well, he hires a valuable dog to impress someone.
00:54:48Gives Smith a cock and bull story so he won't charge him too much.
00:54:51Then, since he's probably lost his shirt at the track,
00:54:53and hasn't the fifty to pay, he's standing Smith off.
00:54:56That's nice.
00:54:58Well, there may be something in that.
00:55:00What about Miss Blaine?
00:55:02Well, you yourself told me how eccentric she is in her way of working.
00:55:05How unpredictable.
00:55:06I'm still willing to bet you, Steve,
00:55:07that she'll be in here before the night is over with a scoop for her paper.
00:55:11And ask you to buy her a steak.
00:55:17I hope you're right.
00:55:21Well, I've got to see McTappens.
00:55:24You fellas, stay right here, will you?
00:55:26Yes, but...
00:55:27What about my fifty bucks?
00:55:29You'll get your fifty bucks. You stay here too.
00:55:32Say, Steve, really, I should be going.
00:55:34Oh, do me a favor and stick around a couple hours, will you, Gil?
00:55:36I'm a little worried. I might need you.
00:55:38I'd do the same for you.
00:55:39Well, if you insist.
00:55:41Yeah.
00:55:43I'd appreciate it.
00:55:57Blitzen, Ruich.
00:55:58Didn't you hear the man promise us the fifty bucks us?
00:56:02Ha, smart dog.
00:56:06Hello?
00:56:07Catherine?
00:56:09Mr. Gilbert.
00:56:10Say, I'm going to be detained a little while.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:14No, I won't want very much to eat.
00:56:16Just set the regulator on the stove for, uh...
00:56:19Eight o'clock.
00:56:23Go ahead to the show.
00:56:25Okay, honey, I'll see you later.
00:56:27Haynes has to set the clock for eight and then get out of here.
00:56:29Go to it, Bugs.
00:56:30Right. Great.
00:56:49I'll see you later.
00:56:52Sergeant, give me those gloves with Gahagan's.
00:56:53The ones he left in the car.
00:56:57There they are, Chief.
00:57:02All right, come out here, fellas.
00:57:04Gil, I just had a brainstorm.
00:57:05I got a hunch of Torchy and Gahagan are being held someplace
00:57:07and this dog can lead us to him.
00:57:08But, Steve, you're going storybook on us.
00:57:10Well, maybe so, but what have we got to lose?
00:57:11Let's climb in a squad car, see what we can find.
00:57:13Oh, count me out, Steve.
00:57:14I haven't got time for this kindergarten stuff.
00:57:16Oh, be a good guy.
00:57:17Come on and bring that dog.
00:57:19Come on, Schmitty.
00:57:21All right, boys. Pile in.
00:57:23Get in there, Schmidt.
00:57:24Give me that dog.
00:57:25Oh, yeah.
00:57:27Don't know where we're going,
00:57:28but we'll get the general direction for the dog.
00:57:32Here, boy.
00:57:33Take a smell of this.
00:57:35Now, find him.
00:57:36Tell him to get going.
00:57:37Nixon.
00:57:39Gave the finger here, Hagan.
00:57:40Take your finger, Hagan.
00:57:42Huff, huff.
00:57:49Huff, huff.
00:58:08Huff, huff, huff.
00:58:09Huff, huff.
00:58:15He's heading for the east highway.
00:58:16Hests up to him.
00:58:19Huff!
00:58:24Huff, huff, huff, huff!
00:58:26Huff, huff, huff.
00:58:29Huff, huff, huff, huff.
00:58:33All right.
00:59:01Looks like it's it.
00:59:03Tell him to clean your eyes.
00:59:09Nixon, come here.
00:59:11All right, over you go.
00:59:15Hey, Gil, come on.
00:59:23Well, I'll wait out here, Steve.
00:59:25This is your show.
00:59:26You don't need me.
00:59:26Listen, we might have to break in.
00:59:28We'll warn Uncle Sam behind us.
00:59:29Come on.
00:59:33There's something funny about this thing.
00:59:42No one upstairs, Chief.
00:59:44There's no one down here either.
00:59:45Well, there you see, Steve.
00:59:46What a wild goose chase.
00:59:48Come on, let's go.
00:59:49Wait a minute.
00:59:49What's your hurry?
00:59:50Oh, I've got an appointment, Steve.
00:59:52Really, I can't stay.
00:59:53Oh, don't worry about that.
00:59:54Let's stick around a while.
00:59:55Yeah, but what do you mean?
00:59:56What are you going to do?
00:59:58Let's sit down a minute.
00:59:59Maybe something will happen.
01:00:02What?
01:00:02What can happen?
01:00:03Oh, I don't know.
01:00:04Sit down and see.
01:00:05Oh, listen, Steve.
01:00:06I'm fed up at this horse play.
01:00:07I'm going.
01:00:08Yeah.
01:00:09Sit down.
01:00:12Well, Bailey, looks like the show is over.
01:00:17What did you say?
01:00:18You heard me.
01:00:19Where's Torchy?
01:00:21Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:00:23I think you're out of your mind, but let's talk about it outside.
01:00:26What's the matter with right here?
01:00:31Well, I, I don't like to see you make a...
01:00:33fooling yourself this way and, and, and, and what?
01:00:37Listen, Steve, we've got to get out of here.
01:00:39We can't stay here another minute.
01:00:41Bailey, what's eating you?
01:00:43There's a nitro bomb.
01:00:44It'll go off any minute.
01:00:45Where is it?
01:00:46She'll go to the cellar.
01:00:47Quick, boys, now, sir.
01:00:48Where's Torchy and Gahag?
01:00:50I'll show you.
01:00:53What are you doing now?
01:00:55There she is.
01:00:56Torchy!
01:00:58Murphy, put the cuffs on here.
01:01:03Now, will you mind your own business?
01:01:04Oh, God, I get it.
01:01:05Oh, this.
01:01:06Oh, Skipper, I was never so glad to see anybody.
01:01:09You know, what did I?
01:01:15Oh, God, I get it.
01:01:17Oh, God, I get it.
01:01:19Oh, Skipper, I was never so glad to see anybody.
01:01:21You know, what did I?
01:01:22What was that crack you made about brains and brawn, Mr. Bailey?
01:01:31Well, I guess I made a mistake.
01:01:32One little slip, Bailey, but it was enough.
01:01:35What was that?
01:01:35Twice you popped off about Torchy lacking stakes.
01:01:39I may be a dumb dick, Bailey,
01:01:40but I know I never told you anything about that.
01:01:43So you must have got it from Torchy,
01:01:44which meant you'd been talking to Torchy
01:01:46when I didn't know anything about it.
01:01:48That's pretty thin, Steve.
01:01:49Well, it was enough to give me a hunch to check up on you.
01:01:52So tonight, when I told you I had to see McTavish,
01:01:55I called up Brennan.
01:01:56He said he didn't know any Gilbert in the Secret Service.
01:01:59So I figured you were a phony,
01:02:01and those notes that sold you to me and the captain were forgeries.
01:02:04Isn't he the dumbest thing?
01:02:06So then I knew you must be Bailey
01:02:08and had Torchy and Gahagan.
01:02:10I knew I couldn't break you down,
01:02:11so our only chance was a dog.
01:02:13Whoever broke him loose really deserves a credit.
01:02:16Thank Torchy.
01:02:17Oh, thank Gahagan.
01:02:19Well, have it your way.
01:02:21What about my 50 boxes?
01:02:23You'll get your 50 boxes.
01:02:24Blitz, for you that give sliver,
01:02:27you're welcome.
01:02:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
