00:01:49It's coming at you!
00:01:52What's this, a bath on Friday?
00:01:55Here, I'll give you a hand.
00:01:56Hurry up before that tank comes back and snaps at you.
00:01:59Don't you know enough to keep out of the horse trot
00:02:01with that nice new uniform?
00:02:02What'll the colonel say?
00:02:07So the day ended and sudden showers for all concerned.
00:02:10Well, what do you think of him, George?
00:02:12You can stop crowing, J.C.
00:02:14I'll admit he's the biggest single attraction on the air,
00:02:16and I'm willing to pay your price.
00:02:18I'll give you your choice of 15 first-class programs.
00:02:21But Shannon's time is not for sale.
00:02:23Why, he's worth more to me to build goodwill for the station.
00:02:26He's certainly doing it.
00:02:27Yes, sir. He's my prima donna.
00:02:29A self-contained unit.
00:02:30He photographs his own stuff, projects it, and describes it.
00:02:34There's not another man like him.
00:02:36You've just seen the latest news events,
00:02:38brought to you as usual by your television newsreel reporter, Jeff Shannon.
00:02:41And so, tomorrow at this time,
00:02:43look for me again on your television screen.
00:02:45Wait a minute, folks. Stand by.
00:02:48Election returns.
00:02:50We've just received the official returns on today's primary elections.
00:02:53On the citizen's ticket, Clifford Farrow, 427,384.
00:02:58James Ross, 422,423.
00:03:01So there's the line-up, Farrow against for Austin elections next month.
00:03:04May the best man win.
00:03:06Well, goodbye, everybody.
00:03:07Here's looking at you until tomorrow at the same time.
00:03:11Well, we might as well make over the front page.
00:03:14Now that Shannon has broadcast the latest figures.
00:03:18He wasn't a bad newspaper man, either, when he worked for us.
00:03:21Yes, sir, he sure packs a wallop.
00:03:23His broadcast is heard by more people than know how to read a newspaper.
00:03:28You know, Roy, with Jeff's help,
00:03:30we stand a chance to keep Farrow and his gang from plundering this city.
00:03:33We have only until November.
00:03:35Why don't you talk to Shannon?
00:03:37I appeal to him on the basis of civic conscience.
00:03:40He hasn't got any.
00:03:41Well, then, on the basis of his loyalty to the paper that gave him his start.
00:03:45I don't think he has any of that, either.
00:03:50Hey, Mike, look.
00:03:52If you want to find somebody Jeff is loyal to, here he is.
00:04:01You're right, Roy.
00:04:03As soon as we put the paper to bed, I'll go over and see Jeff at his house.
00:04:09Don't be late for dinner tonight, Peaches.
00:04:10I was reading early on account of Buddy.
00:04:12Imagine my kid having his sixth birthday party already.
00:04:15Yeah.
00:04:17Yeah.
00:04:18The sayings of time certainly does fly under the bridge.
00:04:22Hey, I bet you that's Mabel.
00:04:24I'll have her meet me halfway to say some time.
00:04:29Hello, Mabel.
00:04:31Hey, on account of we could say some time, will you meet me?
00:04:33The last time you asked me to meet you, you got lost and didn't show up for two hours.
00:04:37Well, you know where cherry runs into vine?
00:04:40I tell you, cherry does run into vine.
00:04:43Over near North Mulberry?
00:04:45No, honey bear.
00:04:46It's not a fruit market.
00:04:48Look, Mabel.
00:04:50You know where Orange Grove runs into Walnut over near Maine?
00:04:54Yeah, sure.
00:04:55Yeah, well, that's not the corner.
00:04:56Look, it's where cherry runs into vine.
00:05:00Yes, that's clear.
00:05:01There's a mud pack.
00:05:04Oh, I'll meet you in ten minutes.
00:05:06Just stay where you are.
00:05:09Well, where are you?
00:05:11Hello, operator.
00:05:12Trace that call, will you?
00:05:13Hello.
00:05:13Come on.
00:05:14Oh, women ain't got no sense of direction.
00:05:17She don't know east from her elbow.
00:05:18I was telling Mabel where...
00:05:19You're always telling Mabel.
00:05:20Isn't she worn out enough to say yes?
00:05:22Well, sure, she's worn out enough.
00:05:24I mean, sure, she'd marry me anytime if I just put my foot down.
00:05:27But you know how love is.
00:05:29You've got to give it time to ripen.
00:05:32Someday I'll give her the ring.
00:05:34Aren't those supposed to be diamonds?
00:05:36Well, some people like diamonds.
00:05:38But personally, I like atheists and satires.
00:05:43Hello, Uncle Dan.
00:05:44You're early, aren't you?
00:05:45Yeah, I know.
00:05:46I wanted to catch you before you got away.
00:05:48We'll be over to Buddy's party tonight, as soon as I've finished.
00:05:51Great.
00:05:52Buddy and Laurel are counting on that.
00:05:53Mabel and me are going to be there, too.
00:05:55Well, now that's an attraction.
00:05:57Can I have a birthday cake for Buddy, Jeff?
00:05:59Sure, with six candles on it.
00:06:01And you can blow them all out.
00:06:02Last time I blew out birthday candles,
00:06:05Uncle Dan's breath lit up like a neon sign.
00:06:11I don't get it.
00:06:12Oh, just a second, Jeff.
00:06:14I've got something I want to ask you.
00:06:16Sure, what is it?
00:06:17When are you going to give me a hand
00:06:19of keeping that Proof Farrell out of City Hall?
00:06:21Are you still harping on that?
00:06:22I'll never stop.
00:06:24You're sure making it awfully tough for me to refuse.
00:06:26Now, I've never asked you for anything before,
00:06:28but in your position,
00:06:29with all your representatives getting you the facts...
00:06:31You can ask me for anything you like,
00:06:33except to use part of my time on the air for political speech-making.
00:06:36How would I sound?
00:06:37You'd sound great, as you always do.
00:06:40And you'd have the thanks of the whole city if you do it.
00:06:42I'll do without their thanks, and they can do without me.
00:06:45Well, I'm sorry.
00:06:49Why don't you do the campaigning yourself?
00:06:50You've got a half an hour and plenty of listeners.
00:06:52Me?
00:06:53You know what I am.
00:06:55I'm just a comic ventriloquist.
00:06:56I amuse children.
00:06:57I try to.
00:06:59Getting modest at your age?
00:07:01Uncle Dan, you're wanted in the rehearsal hall.
00:07:05I'll see you later.
00:07:15You're on the switch, Mommy.
00:07:19Hello, honey.
00:07:23Is this well broadcast yet?
00:07:24At least I know I'll always have one fan.
00:07:26You tired?
00:07:27A little.
00:07:28Happy birthday, son.
00:07:29It's strange to you.
00:07:30Here comes the express, Daddy. Look out.
00:07:32He's just crazy about that train Uncle Dan gave him.
00:07:36I'll go.
00:07:40You're my old boss, Mike, and I've always listened to you with respect.
00:07:43But as far as my going on the air to campaign against Farrow,
00:07:46well, frankly, I'm not interested.
00:07:48Well, didn't the way that Farrow bought and slugged his way into the primaries
00:07:50teach you anything?
00:07:52Yep.
00:07:52An old lesson.
00:07:53That's none of my business.
00:07:55Look.
00:07:56Your oldest friend Uncle Dan seems interested enough.
00:07:59Read what he says.
00:08:00He told me all about it.
00:08:01If he wants to get into trouble with his sponsors, I can't stop him.
00:08:04After all, he's free white and well over 21.
00:08:07Well, you're independent.
00:08:09Yep.
00:08:09And I'm going to stay that way.
00:08:11When you worked for me, you knew the difference between something crooked and something on the level.
00:08:15But I'm not a newspaper man anymore.
00:08:18Well, even an ex-newspaper man has opinions.
00:08:20But a smart ex-newspaper man keeps them to himself.
00:08:22Well, I'm sorry, Mike.
00:08:24I'm not playing.
00:08:25Now, let's forget all about this politics talk and come in and enjoy the birthday party.
00:08:29You know, the old Shannon hospitality?
00:08:30No.
00:08:31Not tonight.
00:08:32Nor any night.
00:08:34All I'll take from a guy I've lost respect for is my hat.
00:08:55Who was it, dear?
00:08:56Uh, somebody peddling something.
00:09:07Pointing out that a civic emergency looms in the coming elections, Uncle Dan Carter noted radio artist at late today.
00:09:15It becomes the duty of every citizen to judge the merits of the candidates carefully.
00:09:21Farrow's criminal background is a direct challenge to all decent voters.
00:09:27What have you got to say to that?
00:09:30I'll give a statement to the press refuting the baseless charges of this, uh, radio comic.
00:09:35Never mind what you'll say. We'll write that out for you.
00:09:37It's ridiculous. That man doesn't know me or anything about me.
00:09:40But what does he mean by a criminal background?
00:09:42Sheer fiction. An empty threat.
00:09:44Quiet.
00:09:46Now, if this guy's got anything on you that I haven't got, I want to know right now.
00:09:49Not later.
00:09:51Now, spill it.
00:09:53Why, of course he hasn't, Melvin.
00:09:56But just the same, those, uh, irresponsible charges should be stopped.
00:10:00That's all I wanted to know.
00:10:02Don't give out any statements to the press.
00:10:04But this Uncle Dan, he'll keep hammering.
00:10:07Never mind about him. He'll stop.
00:10:15Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear buddy. Happy birthday to you.
00:10:27Walter it was a return for you.
00:10:27You're gonna make a wish and blow out the candles?
00:10:29Uh huh. Can Felix blow too?
00:10:31Sure.
00:10:32Go ahead, make your wish.
00:10:34I wish the stork would bring me a brother just like Felix.
00:10:41The stork. Hasn't anybody ever taken...
00:11:08I don't'emistro.
00:11:09Uncle Dan,
00:11:10this one isn't loaded,
00:11:11but the next one will be if you don't lay off.
00:11:13No, a fan.
00:11:31Hey, Jeff.
00:11:33Your sacks we shot down by the railroad tracks turned out swell.
00:11:36Fine, we'll run it later.
00:11:38You don't mean to tell me that the mug that owns those slums down there is going to run for
00:11:42mayor of this town.
00:11:44Yeah, but when he sees these pictures tonight, he'll lose that nerve.
00:11:47How about the other stuff?
00:11:48Oh, it's all cut. All ready to go.
00:11:50200 feet of people going in out of those gambling houses run by the Farrow Sutter Combine.
00:11:54And then there's those horse race betting pilots.
00:11:56Great. If that doesn't put Farrow out of the running, I've got something else here.
00:12:00A wire from a private detective in Keillersville, a fellow named Mason.
00:12:04Seems to have plenty on Farrow from a way back.
00:12:07I hope you know what you're... doing.
00:12:10What do you mean?
00:12:12Putting stuff like that on a television news program.
00:12:15Well, it's graphic material, isn't it?
00:12:17You're the boss.
00:12:19Did you see the late city edition of the News Tribune?
00:12:22No.
00:12:26Jeff Shannon joins fight against Farrow.
00:12:28Noted television reporter to wield powerful influence.
00:12:31He will...
00:12:31That's putting it on a bit thick, isn't it?
00:12:33Sounds like you wrote that article.
00:12:34Now, Mike Halloran wrote that himself.
00:12:37And he told me to say that he'd forgotten all about last night.
00:12:40I'm sorry about it, too.
00:12:41Well, I go on in 17 minutes.
00:12:43That gives me just time to check my notes.
00:12:45Well, I'll listen on your set.
00:12:46Uncle Dan, when you get there, will you tell Laurel I'll call her later?
00:12:49Sure.
00:12:49Good luck, Jeff.
00:12:50Thanks.
00:12:52I'll put these on the projector, Jeff.
00:12:53Okay.
00:13:04I'm busy.
00:13:06I recognize you without that.
00:13:08I'm still busy.
00:13:09I won't take much of your time.
00:13:10Thanks.
00:13:10But I could use that 15 minutes you're doing on the air tonight.
00:13:14So could a lot of other people.
00:13:16You're pretty much sold on this anti-file broadcast, aren't you?
00:13:19You get to a television set in the next 10 minutes and you'll find out.
00:13:22Oh, I'll do that.
00:13:23I'm one of your fans.
00:13:26Maybe you're also one of Uncle Dan's fans, who admires him so much he sends him fruit.
00:13:32That's a great guy, that Uncle Dan with that dummy.
00:13:35That's a great gag.
00:13:37I'll tell him you like him.
00:13:38Right now, I'm busy.
00:13:40You know, you're working too hard.
00:13:42You should relax for a while from politics anyway.
00:13:46Is that a threat?
00:13:47No, just good advice.
00:13:48That's a nice-looking kid.
00:13:51Your wife, I suppose.
00:13:53Let that alone.
00:13:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:59We're still friends?
00:14:11On in two minutes, Mr. Shannon.
00:14:22Uncle Dan, can me and Felix listen, too?
00:14:25Certainly.
00:14:26With this broadcast, your dad will be a hero.
00:14:29Come on, sit over here with Felix.
00:14:31And in conclusion of this number, station KBQ will take pleasure in presenting as its television feature, the appearance of
00:14:37Jeff Shannon.
00:14:38Oh, I'm proud of him now than I've ever been in my life.
00:14:41You know, he'd do anything in the world for you, Uncle Dan.
00:14:44Now, Laurel, whatever Jeff does is for you and Buddy.
00:14:48That's right.
00:14:48Proper.
00:14:49Wyatt, Felix.
00:14:50My pot's on the air.
00:14:52Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:54This is Jeff Shannon, your television reporter.
00:14:56And you're just in time to hear the...
00:14:58The keynote address by Mrs. Robert G. Eaton, president of the Commonwealth Club.
00:15:03Madam Chairman, ladies of the Commonwealth Club, my task is to review the last quarter century of our achievements.
00:15:12And in conclusion, we must dedicate ourselves as wives and mothers to hold fast to the ideals of our founder,
00:15:20the saintly Consuelo J. Haverstraw.
00:15:28I can't understand it.
00:15:29That isn't the kind of thing Jeff is accustomed to showing.
00:15:32Don't worry.
00:15:33He's just building up to the Farrah thing.
00:15:35This type of aircraft carrier, said by experts to be the most efficient of its kind, was launched today at
00:15:402 o'clock at the Philadelphia shipyard.
00:15:42Watch her as she slides gracefully down the way to take her place in the battle fleet.
00:15:46What's Jeff giving us?
00:15:47Yeah, where's the stuff about Farrah we've been waiting about?
00:15:50That's what I'm waiting for.
00:15:52We can see ship launchings anyplace.
00:15:56Watch them as they roll around that wooden saucer in what they call the six-day bike race.
00:16:00And where'll they be when the six days are up?
00:16:02Just where they started.
00:16:03I can't make it out.
00:16:05After what he promised to do.
00:16:07Neither can I.
00:16:08See, he's only got a couple of minutes left.
00:16:10Call up the station.
00:16:13And that's all for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
00:16:15You'll be hearing and seeing me again at the same time tomorrow.
00:16:32Is my dad a hero now?
00:16:39Is he?
00:16:42You'd better say goodnight to Uncle Dan and Felix, buddy.
00:16:45It's your bedtime.
00:16:46Goodnight, Uncle Dan.
00:16:48Goodnight, buddy.
00:16:49Goodnight, Felix.
00:17:00Hello.
00:17:01Hello, Jeff.
00:17:07My, what a gay, cheerful place I came into.
00:17:09Why didn't somebody talk?
00:17:11I don't know what there is to say, Jeff.
00:17:13What's the matter?
00:17:14Didn't you like my program?
00:17:15Oh, it's all right.
00:17:18I know it isn't what I promised to put on, but, well, I just decided I couldn't do it.
00:17:22Well, you don't have to give me any excuses.
00:17:25I don't intend to.
00:17:26But you promised Uncle Dan.
00:17:28So what?
00:17:29Do you want me to get down on my knees and apologize because I didn't blast the air full of
00:17:32political talk?
00:17:33Oh, it's all right, Jeff.
00:17:36Doesn't look all right from where I'm standing.
00:17:39Anybody think I committed a crime?
00:17:41It isn't that.
00:17:42But someone who commands public attention must expose Farrah.
00:17:46Well, what about you?
00:17:47You seem to take this Farrah opposition as a personal matter.
00:17:50I do.
00:17:51Well, what could I go on the air with?
00:17:54All right.
00:17:55If you ask for it, I'll give you what was offered to me.
00:17:57The so-called precious evidence from Mason, Keillersville.
00:18:09Oh, thanks.
00:18:12Good night, love.
00:18:13Good night, Jeff.
00:18:20Jeff, you shouldn't have said things like that.
00:18:22I know you forgot yourself.
00:18:24Yes, I guess I did.
00:18:25I'm sorry it happened in this house.
00:18:27He's been like a father to you.
00:18:29And what but he thinks of him...
00:18:29But can't you see I...
00:18:31I just couldn't go on with that program.
00:18:33No, I can't see.
00:18:34And I'm not going to ask you why.
00:18:36That's strictly your business.
00:18:46Joining forces with the News Tribune, Uncle Dan Carter's broadcast will be uncensored.
00:18:51And sensational disclosures regarding Farrah's background are promised.
00:18:56Want to hear some more?
00:18:57No.
00:19:00Okay.
00:19:02Uncle Dan will make his headquarters in the editorial office of the News Tribune,
00:19:05where he'll receive any information regarding the campaign from now until Election Day.
00:19:11By gosh, I'm going to call him up and wish him that he throws a natural the first time out.
00:19:15Go ahead.
00:19:20News Tribune, give me Uncle Dan.
00:19:23Hello.
00:19:25What was that?
00:19:26What happened there?
00:19:28Sounded like an explosion.
00:19:30Hello?
00:19:30Hello?
00:19:31Yes, Jeff Shannon speaking.
00:19:33Okay, thanks.
00:19:34Peaches, grab your stuff and head for the truck.
00:19:36What is it?
00:19:36The News Tribune building has just been bombed.
00:19:52Come on, Peaches.
00:19:53We've got to step on it.
00:19:54Stand back.
00:19:55You don't want to get hurt.
00:20:08Grab the small camera, Peaches, and come on.
00:20:12Coming through, folks.
00:20:13Coming through, folks.
00:20:14Coming through.
00:20:15Television newsreel coming through, if you please.
00:20:17Go ahead, Shannon.
00:20:17All right, hurry up.
00:20:18Get those folks to the hospital, quick.
00:20:20Hurry.
00:20:26What happened, Mike?
00:20:27They got to us.
00:20:28You see, Jeff?
00:20:35Who was that guy?
00:20:36Well, they've caught him.
00:20:37That's all we need.
00:20:38Let me get this straight.
00:20:39Oh, stop asking foolish questions.
00:20:41You know the setup as well as I do.
00:20:43Somebody tried to blot out the News Tribune.
00:20:45I know who did it, and so do you.
00:20:46Don't make any statements you can't prove.
00:20:48Now, Farrow did this work.
00:20:50And it'll be proved as soon as that guy tells you who his boss is.
00:20:52Be careful, it's the newsreel.
00:20:56Then you're staying neutral.
00:21:05Well, where's Curly's confession?
00:21:07You've got a long wait, boys.
00:21:08Appleby's in there flashing a superior portrait.
00:21:10Judge Martin's signature carries more weight than your affidavit, Mr. Halloran.
00:21:13You're letting him go?
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:15We're going to give him the key to the city.
00:21:17Wait a minute, Curly.
00:21:18I suppose you want to say something to your television audience, don't you?
00:21:20Oh, sure.
00:21:21You've got a beautiful jail here, folks.
00:21:22Only I wasn't in but for one meal, it was fine.
00:21:25Even the rats got indigestion.
00:21:28So long, folks.
00:21:33Tough break.
00:21:34We had him cornered, and he was going to talk plenty when Appleby busted in with the Ritz.
00:21:38Next time we grab him, I'm going to see that he takes up where he left off.
00:21:41You saw that, didn't you, Jeff?
00:21:42You know who Appleby worked for.
00:21:43Naturally.
00:21:44Something has happened to you, boy, made you blind to what's going on.
00:21:48You're wrong.
00:21:49Something happened that opened my eyes.
00:21:53What was all that patter you was giving Sutter over the telephone?
00:21:56I had her telling you was sprung, didn't I?
00:21:59Yeah, but you didn't tell him nothing about me popping off, did you?
00:22:02I mean, I wasn't going to say anything.
00:22:04I was just stalling for time.
00:22:07I know, Curly.
00:22:09I know.
00:22:10Oh.
00:22:12Oh.
00:22:18Gee, Mel, I was worried for a while.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21So was I.
00:22:22Thanks for springing.
00:22:23Forget it.
00:22:25We're still friends.
00:22:31Mel!
00:22:35The murder of Curly Parsons is one thing, but the dynamiting of the News Tribune building
00:22:41with serious injury to three innocent persons is something else.
00:22:46Hello, darling.
00:22:47Something which should cause all citizens to wonder if their loved ones could ever be safe.
00:22:53By this time tomorrow, I expect to have proof of every one of my accusations against Farrell.
00:22:59It will be documentary proof.
00:23:06What's the matter, Jeff?
00:23:09Where's Buddy?
00:23:09Well, I put him to bed.
00:23:11That's right.
00:23:12I'd rather see him in bed than down here listening to that wild-eyed junk cooked up by Mike Halloran.
00:23:15Why, that's Uncle Dan.
00:23:17I know it is.
00:23:18Can't I even be free of it in my own home?
00:23:28Had any visitors today?
00:23:30Why, no, Jeff.
00:23:31No.
00:23:34You didn't get this on a newsstand.
00:23:36Mike Halloran left it.
00:23:38Why did you say nobody was here?
00:23:40I'm sorry.
00:23:41I should have told you.
00:23:42Mike wanted me to talk to you again.
00:23:43He thought perhaps after what you've seen...
00:23:45The next time Mike Halloran calls, tell him to see me at my office and not come sneaking
00:23:48around my home.
00:23:49He convinced me that even the great Jeff Shannon has a duty as a private citizen.
00:23:52I'm not interested in what he thinks my duty is.
00:23:55Neither were those people who were walking past the News Tribune building.
00:23:57But three of them were almost killed.
00:24:00Are you waiting until something happens to Buddy or me before you come to your senses?
00:24:05Please, Jeff.
00:24:08What are you doing?
00:24:10Leaving.
00:24:11And when my home is no longer a political club, let me know.
00:24:21Good morning, Television KBQ.
00:24:24Mr. Branch, one moment, please.
00:24:28Go ahead.
00:24:31Television KBQ.
00:24:33Well, don't bawl me out, lady.
00:24:35You called me.
00:24:36I didn't call you.
00:24:39Good morning, Hazel.
00:24:40My boss in?
00:24:40Not yet.
00:24:42He ain't.
00:24:43Did he phone?
00:24:44No.
00:24:45Oh, shucks.
00:24:46I wanted him to be the first to congratulate me.
00:24:49Now you get the break.
00:24:51Well, I'm waiting.
00:24:53Go ahead.
00:24:54What happened?
00:24:55Did you get a raise?
00:24:56Oh, I'm not that lucky.
00:24:58I'm going to get tied.
00:24:59Well, you're certainly fit to be.
00:25:01Yeah.
00:25:03Yep, any day now, for sooner or later, I'm stepping into the halter.
00:25:07Halter is right.
00:25:09Anyhow, congratulations.
00:25:10Thank you.
00:25:10Say, who's the lucky girl?
00:25:11I am.
00:25:12Or I mean, was I?
00:25:14You know, when she said, okay, I sure was embezzled.
00:25:17You know, all I got to do now is pick up the license.
00:25:19Price is no object.
00:25:20I want the best.
00:25:21They're all the same price.
00:25:23Two dollars.
00:25:24Two dollars.
00:25:25Say, that's awful reasonable.
00:25:27You know, I paid five dollars for a hunting license and had to buy a gun besides.
00:25:35Television KBQ.
00:25:36Emergency call from Mr. Shannon.
00:25:38Here, I'll take it.
00:25:39Go ahead.
00:25:40Hello.
00:25:41What?
00:25:42Where?
00:25:42Thanks, we'll be right over.
00:25:44Say, on oil, Derek just caught fire over at field number nine.
00:25:47Get Jeff's house quick, will you?
00:25:49No, Peaches, he isn't at home.
00:25:51I haven't any idea where he is.
00:25:53He hasn't been home all night.
00:25:55Gee, you've never done that before.
00:25:57Well, you just leave everything to me, Laurel.
00:25:59Yeah, I'll handle him.
00:26:00Sure.
00:26:01Yeah, I'll send him home to you.
00:26:02Don't worry.
00:26:03Goodbye.
00:26:24Felix, how would you solve the traffic problem?
00:26:26Well, I'd borrow every car off the strength it wasn't paid for.
00:26:30But Felix's credit is the lifeblood of the nation.
00:26:40Hello?
00:26:41Hello?
00:26:42Oh, there's Peaches.
00:26:43Hey, something awful's happened.
00:26:44There's a four-alarm blaze down at the oil field and a hundred thousand gallons of crude waiting to go
00:26:48up in flames.
00:26:48Well, that's Jeff's department.
00:26:50Why are you...
00:26:50Well, that's what I'm coming to.
00:26:52I can't find Jeff.
00:26:54Him and Laurel had a few snappy words last night.
00:26:57Well, you try him at the Loonyville bar.
00:26:59That's where I'd go to think up some answers.
00:27:01Let me know.
00:27:02Goodbye.
00:27:17Special delivery for Dan Carter.
00:27:19Sign here, please.
00:27:22Thank you.
00:27:26Healersville.
00:27:40Yippee!
00:27:41Felix, it's all here.
00:27:44Enough dynamite to blast Farrah right out of politics.
00:27:48Come on.
00:27:49We'd better stop rehearsing right now.
00:28:16This is a fine.
00:28:17How have I been?
00:28:18Leave me alone.
00:28:19It's me, Peaches.
00:28:20Do you remember?
00:28:21How do you do?
00:28:22Oh, come on, Jeff.
00:28:24You've got to snap out of this.
00:28:25Why?
00:28:25Well, the oil field's burning down.
00:28:28Let it burn.
00:28:29Oh, you got Laurel worried sick.
00:28:33So she thinks I'm yellow.
00:28:35Okay.
00:28:36No, you're not yellow.
00:28:38You're green.
00:28:40Hey, Jim.
00:28:44Give me a pitcher of ice water, will you?
00:28:46Water?
00:28:47What are you going to use for a chaser?
00:28:49Him.
00:28:51Peaches don't ever get to where you've got to be a tin god to a woman.
00:28:54Oh, me, I have already.
00:28:56Mabel said yes last night.
00:28:58Ain't that something?
00:28:59Congratulations.
00:29:00Who is Mabel?
00:29:03Ah.
00:29:04Ah.
00:29:05Good for you.
00:29:08Ah.
00:29:09Ah.
00:29:12Ah.
00:29:21Ah.
00:29:27Thanks, Jim.
00:29:31What are you trying to do?
00:29:32Put me on ice?
00:29:33No, no.
00:29:34You're...
00:29:34I was minding my own business, and a couple of guys in a fight started, and...
00:29:37Oh, so this is the way you spend your time advancing television.
00:29:39Oh, let me...
00:29:40And letting me wait all morning for you at the license bureau.
00:29:42Let me explain, will you?
00:29:43The engagements are off.
00:29:44Here, take your cheap ring.
00:29:46Cheap?
00:29:46I'll have you know that cost 85 bucks.
00:29:4885 what?
00:29:49Honest.
00:29:50I'll show you the summons.
00:29:54All right.
00:29:55If that's the way I feel about it, I'm through.
00:30:01Ain't dames impregnable.
00:30:03I'm through with them.
00:30:04That's what I am.
00:30:05Why, she wouldn't even give me a chance to explain.
00:30:07Let's get drunk.
00:30:08Right.
00:30:09Oh, no, no.
00:30:09We can't do that.
00:30:10We got work to do if we don't want to get scooped.
00:30:13Oh, so you don't want to work, huh?
00:30:16You want to play.
00:30:24Get your late news tribune here.
00:30:26Dan Carter cracks down.
00:30:28Read all about it.
00:30:29And paper.
00:30:30Television.
00:30:31After getting farrowed.
00:30:32Read all about it.
00:30:35Thanks.
00:30:36Extra.
00:30:36Read all about it.
00:30:38Dan Carter cracks down.
00:30:40Extra.
00:30:48When I tell you that those papers are not for sale,
00:30:51I don't mean that I'm holding out for a higher offer.
00:30:54Now, don't tell me you can't use 20 grand.
00:30:57You're right.
00:30:58I can't.
00:31:00The things young men want to do with money don't interest me at my age.
00:31:04I'm interested in only one thing now.
00:31:07Keeping farrow out of City Hall.
00:31:11So it's no deal.
00:31:13Oh, yeah.
00:31:15I've got a counteroffer.
00:31:17I'll give you those papers, and they won't cost you a cent.
00:31:20But first, I want a public statement from Farrow to the effect that he's withdrawing as a candidate.
00:31:28Now, look at the position I'm in.
00:31:30If you have definite proof that Farrow's an ex-criminal, I want to withdraw as his campaign manager.
00:31:35After all, this may be a trick on your part.
00:31:41And if it isn't, I think that the fair thing to do is to show me the evidence.
00:31:47Oh, no.
00:31:50After Felix and I get through broadcasting tonight, the next person to see those affidavits will be the Federal District
00:31:56Attorney.
00:31:57Oh.
00:31:58Is that final?
00:32:00That is final.
00:32:10We're still friends.
00:32:12We're still friends.
00:32:49If Jeff would only call up or let me hear from him so I could let him know how sorry
00:32:53I am, I wouldn't care whether I was right or wrong.
00:32:55Well, I've no business to meddle between the two of you, but if it'll give you any comfort to know
00:33:00it, you are absolutely right.
00:33:02Well, that's consolation coming from you.
00:33:04But it doesn't bring Jeff home.
00:33:06Well, let me interfere once again, maybe for the last time.
00:33:10Why don't you and Buddy ride down to the studio with me?
00:33:13Jeff ought to be getting back there just about then.
00:33:16All right, Uncle Dan.
00:33:17When I put these on the air tonight, I believe I'll have done the most important job of my life.
00:33:23Well, let's go.
00:33:24Come on, Buddy.
00:33:26You can carry Felix.
00:33:34Come on, Felix.
00:33:36We're going to see my dad.
00:33:47That's him.
00:33:48Let's go.
00:34:14I think a family of woodpeckers are building a nest in my head.
00:34:18Yeah, me too.
00:34:19Only mine got a concrete mixer on the job.
00:34:21Why don't you call Laurel?
00:34:23How many feet of film did you get in that storage tank blow-up?
00:34:26800.
00:34:27But that's changing the subject.
00:34:28I said we needed more film.
00:34:30That talking to you is like waving a bull in front of a red flag.
00:34:34Then don't argue.
00:34:36Call up Sergeant Mike Riley at headquarters and see what's going on.
00:34:39All right.
00:34:40All right.
00:34:56Hello, Sarge.
00:34:58Yeah?
00:34:58Yeah?
00:34:59Yeah.
00:35:00Oh, a hit and run crash at Prospect and Woodard, huh?
00:35:02Ambulance follow-up.
00:35:03Say you couldn't give out with a nice big tenement house fire or a good riot, maybe.
00:35:07No, you couldn't, huh?
00:35:09Okay.
00:35:09Goodbye.
00:35:14What's it doing?
00:35:14Hit and run crash.
00:35:16No good.
00:35:17Well, there's ten of those in this town every day.
00:35:19You said we needed more film?
00:35:20I know, but...
00:35:22Oh, well, all right.
00:35:23Come on.
00:35:23Let's go.
00:35:32Couldn't anybody get the license number?
00:35:35The street was empty.
00:35:35I come running.
00:35:36Oh, really?
00:35:45Take that thing, will you?
00:35:48All right, all right.
00:35:49Never mind.
00:35:51Come on, Jeff.
00:35:52Let's get set up.
00:36:04Why, that's Uncle Dan's car.
00:36:09Is Uncle Dan in there?
00:36:10Yeah.
00:36:11You can't get in there.
00:36:12Jeff!
00:36:15Laurel, Laurel, what happened?
00:36:17Uncle Dan.
00:36:17No, Jeff, darling, it was terrible.
00:36:19Are you all right?
00:36:20Only my arm.
00:36:23Good money.
00:36:41Take it easy, Jeff.
00:36:45You couldn't have stopped it, Jeff.
00:36:47Whoever it is, we'll find him.
00:36:49You don't have to look any further.
00:36:50I did it.
00:36:51I started something I was too yellow to finish,
00:36:53and it boomeranged.
00:36:55Hit me where it hurt the most, buddy.
00:36:58Please sit down, Jeff.
00:37:00You're not helping anyone.
00:37:26Is it over, doctor?
00:37:27All over.
00:37:28Nothing more to worry about.
00:37:32Ain't I been telling you?
00:37:34I'm going to make a reservation here in case anything happens.
00:37:36You know, book to fire, doc.
00:37:39What did I say now?
00:37:41You and Mrs. Shannon can see your boy in a little while.
00:37:44Thank you, doctor.
00:37:55Here, darling.
00:37:58Daddy and Felix, too.
00:38:00Hello, Daddy.
00:38:02Hello, son.
00:38:05Did Felix get hurt?
00:38:07Just bruised, Lou.
00:38:10He's all bitter now.
00:38:12Look.
00:38:20Hello, Felix.
00:38:23What's the matter, Felix?
00:38:27What did I do?
00:38:37Maybe Felix doesn't feel like talking.
00:38:40Sure.
00:38:41When you get well, then Felix will...
00:38:47You'll have to leave, Mr. Shannon.
00:38:49We can only allow Mrs. Shannon to remain.
00:39:03It's all right.
00:39:04Buddy's asleep.
00:39:05He's resting nicely.
00:39:06I'm going in to tell Uncle Dan he's out of danger.
00:39:10Uncle Dan is dead.
00:39:23What did you say?
00:39:24He died five minutes ago.
00:39:29Feel as though I killed him.
00:39:31Oh, buck up, Jeff.
00:39:33We've got to stop and figure out what we can do.
00:39:35Whatever it is, it's for me to do.
00:39:36Now, don't rush away blindly.
00:39:38Those papers that Farrah was after, they're gone or burned.
00:39:42I don't know.
00:39:43It might have been photostats.
00:39:46Mason in Keillersville.
00:39:48The man I should have contacted.
00:39:50He gave Uncle Dan that evidence.
00:39:51He knows what's in it.
00:39:52I'll get him.
00:39:56Keep ringing, operator.
00:39:57Keep ringing.
00:40:13If I could only get some shut-eye around this place.
00:40:15Oh, listen, you.
00:40:16That poor kid in there isn't getting any more sleep than you are.
00:40:19Have you heard about Buddy?
00:40:20Laurel's in there now trying to get him to sleep.
00:40:22That Buddy was just crying for Felix to tell him a bedtime story.
00:40:25I wish Uncle Dan was a...
00:40:27Peaches, I've got something to do.
00:40:29Be a good fellow and stand by, will you?
00:40:30Take care of Laurel.
00:40:31I don't want anything to happen to her.
00:40:33Well, what are you going to do?
00:40:34Never mind.
00:40:34I'll see that he sticks.
00:40:35Thanks, Mabel.
00:41:00Come in, Shannon.
00:41:01And what are you doing here?
00:41:03Me?
00:41:05Why, I'm not here.
00:41:08Right now I'm at the Farrell campaign headquarters, having a conference.
00:41:15I asked you what you wanted here.
00:41:17Oh, I just wanted to be sure without violence, of course, that those affidavits burnt up in the accident weren't
00:41:22just copies.
00:41:23Is that what you want to know, too?
00:41:26That's all, huh?
00:41:26Well, I couldn't bring anybody over to crack open that sardine box, but fortunately, you know the combination.
00:41:34Sure, I know the combination.
00:41:36Well, then, since we're both looking for the same thing, why waste time?
00:41:45You know, I'm glad to see you're reasonable about it.
00:41:47Why not, since you're over at Farrell's headquarters?
00:41:50Mm-hmm.
00:41:51Now, let's see.
00:41:5310 to the right.
00:41:567 to the left.
00:41:59I've got it.
00:42:007 to the right.
00:42:12Well, there seems to be nothing here but some old oil stocks Uncle Dan's had for 30 years.
00:42:16You want to look?
00:42:17Might as well.
00:42:18Not that I don't believe you.
00:42:37Yes, I guess you're right.
00:42:39The originals were burnt.
00:42:40Satisfied?
00:42:41Yes, I didn't like to do this.
00:42:44Oh, I can see that.
00:42:45So, uh, we're still friends.
00:42:52Would you mind seeing who that is?
00:43:05I'll fix you prowling around here.
00:43:08Peach is holding.
00:43:10Where's that third guy?
00:43:11Let me at him.
00:43:12I'll fix him.
00:43:12If he wasn't at Farrell's headquarters all night, I'd swear it was Sutter.
00:43:15Well, who was it?
00:43:16We'll find out in a minute.
00:43:17Well, did you get his indemnity?
00:43:19If I didn't, that camera did.
00:43:22Come on.
00:43:26The magazine is gone.
00:43:29Peach is there was no film in the camera.
00:43:32Wait.
00:43:36We're still friends.
00:43:38You said it, boy.
00:43:52Look, buddy, a drummer boy.
00:43:54Yes, sir.
00:43:54Rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-dub.
00:43:56When you get home, we're gonna buy you a real drum.
00:43:58How's the little fella today?
00:43:59Just fine, doctor.
00:44:01Oh, Shannon.
00:44:06I know he seems perfectly well to you, doctor, but I've never seen him this way before.
00:44:10Listless, sad.
00:44:11He's a child.
00:44:12The memory of what happened won't last long.
00:44:14But he's never been able to understand about Uncle Dan.
00:44:17If there was only some way to make him understand gradually, or if there was something pertaining
00:44:21to Uncle Dan that might reawaken his interest.
00:44:24I wonder if that would work.
00:44:27What are you thinking of?
00:44:28Well, he could see Uncle Dan again.
00:44:30He used to rehearse on talking films so that he could criticize himself.
00:44:33Yes, Uncle Dan's rehearsal film.
00:44:35Say, that's right.
00:44:36I could get Peaches to bring over a projector.
00:44:38Why couldn't we give all the kids a show?
00:44:39Fine, I'll make arrangements.
00:44:41Would you have time tomorrow, Jeff?
00:44:42Election day and all?
00:44:43All I can do now about the election is sit around and watch Farrell's majority roll-up.
00:44:47I'll get the film right now.
00:44:49Say, tomorrow about 11.
00:44:50All right.
00:44:56Bye, son.
00:44:57Bye, kids.
00:44:58Bye.
00:45:30How did a shrewd fellow like you manage to lose out on the primaries?
00:45:34Crooked politics, if you must know.
00:45:36Well, how's that?
00:45:37I offered a buck a vote, and the fair crowd offered two bucks.
00:45:41It was a terrible blow to reform.
00:45:44Well, you must know, Felix, that life isn't just a series of jokes.
00:45:48Not on this program anyway.
00:45:50No, there comes a time when life must be taken with grave seriousness.
00:45:55Speak up, Uncle.
00:45:56Let's have it with both barrels.
00:45:57Well, we're soon going to have the final election for mayor of this city.
00:46:03All right, kids.
00:46:04Another reel, another reel coming up.
00:46:11How does it look?
00:46:12You can mark the 12th to the 18th districts in the Farrell column.
00:46:16That gives us an overwhelming lead.
00:46:18Yes, but nothing's in the bag till the polls close.
00:46:20The heaviest vote, and also the slowest, is in the midtown sections.
00:46:24A convicted thief.
00:46:26A man who was alive today only because he bribed a jury
00:46:29who would have sent him to the gallows for murder.
00:46:32Could have the criminal insolence
00:46:34to run for the highest public office in our city.
00:46:37The proofs?
00:46:38I've got it, every bit of it, right here in my possession.
00:46:43Here is the original warrant for his arrest on that charge.
00:46:47It gives his real name, Stanley Morgan.
00:46:5020 years ago, he was a small-town swindler.
00:46:53A man who demanded an accounting from Morgan was killed.
00:46:57Morgan was tried for murder, but he escaped the charge.
00:47:00And I have proof here that he bribed the jury which acquitted him.
00:47:04Afterwards, Morgan disappeared.
00:47:06Peaches, stop that film.
00:47:07Hang on to that reel.
00:47:09What are you going to do, Jeff?
00:47:10I'm not going to do anything.
00:47:11But Uncle Dan is.
00:47:12He's going back on the air.
00:47:15Morgan disappeared.
00:47:17Three years later, and a thousand miles from the scene of his crime,
00:47:21he became Clifford Farrell.
00:47:24For years, these fingers have been dirty with vice, graft, and corruption.
00:47:30Today, his campaign manager tried to bribe me into silence.
00:47:33He murdered once to gain his ends, and he may again.
00:47:36But he can't scare me into withholding this evidence.
00:47:40And you mustn't be misled into voting for him.
00:47:43Storm signals have been hoisted all along the Atlantic coast.
00:47:46The Weather Bureau reports heavy rainfall and winds of hurricane violence.
00:47:49Well, that's what they got on here.
00:47:50If I would have known this, I wouldn't have touched you with a ten-foot pole.
00:47:53We can quash all that when Cliff takes off.
00:47:56After that, he won't pull another bolt.
00:47:58We'll be lucky if this doesn't land us all in the state pen.
00:48:01Southern resort towns in the path of the hurricane that are sweeping northward toward New York
00:48:05have been abandoned, and 85-mile-an-hour gale rages.
00:48:08New York's storm drains are taxed by the heaviest downpour in years.
00:48:12But that's nothing to what has happened further south,
00:48:14or might happen right here in New York,
00:48:16which lies in the direct path of the hurricane.
00:48:23You know, the trouble with you guys is that you quit before you're licked.
00:48:27Well, gentlemen, I'm not licked yet.
00:48:29But after the evidence...
00:48:30Sutter is right.
00:48:31That wouldn't be admitted as evidence in any court,
00:48:33particularly after I'm elected.
00:48:35Shut up.
00:48:36Elected? How do you expect to be?
00:48:38Why, uh...
00:48:38Shut up.
00:48:40He's in the lead now.
00:48:41Is that right?
00:48:42Yes.
00:48:43Well, gentlemen, he's going to stay in the lead.
00:48:46Come on.
00:48:56How's that?
00:48:56How's that?
00:48:57How's that?
00:48:57How's that?
00:48:58Well, you did it, Jeff.
00:49:00What a garrison finish.
00:49:01Just came from Farrow's office.
00:49:03He's not seeing anybody.
00:49:04Guess nobody's seeing him, either.
00:49:05What's going on outside?
00:49:06Somebody giving something away?
00:49:07The reserves waiting for an extra on your scooperoo.
00:49:09Great.
00:49:10It's too bad we can't get this through to New York.
00:49:12It's a national story.
00:49:13Yeah, some storm they're having, huh?
00:49:15Let me at him.
00:49:16Let an old man embrace this all-conquering hero, eh?
00:49:20So you finally let them have it with both barrels, eh?
00:49:22Farrow won't get another vote all afternoon.
00:49:24If Dan were only here to see it.
00:49:27Yep.
00:49:28He deserves every bit of credit for this.
00:49:30Oh, I almost forgot Laurel called.
00:49:31She's the proudest woman in the world, Jeff.
00:49:33I'll call her.
00:49:34That storm in New York is turning into an earthquake.
00:49:37Earthquake in New York?
00:49:38It's on the television.
00:49:39Come on.
00:49:44Not KBQ.
00:49:45The network station.
00:49:46No.
00:49:47Men and women of America, something ghastly is happening.
00:49:50It's coming.
00:49:50It's here.
00:49:51An earthquake in New York.
00:49:53Oh, those millions of human beings down there in the heart of the city.
00:49:55Death is underfoot, in the air.
00:49:57It's indescribable.
00:49:58Nothing has done it.
00:49:59Oh, why didn't we listen when they warned us?
00:50:01It's too late now.
00:50:02There's no escape.
00:50:03The Naval Observatory reports a tidal wave coming.
00:50:05If that's true, then there won't be a soul left alive.
00:50:08Ships at sea confirm the report of a tidal wave.
00:50:11The air is crackling with SOS tidal wave.
00:50:13SOS tidal wave.
00:50:14SOS tidal wave.
00:50:16The Empire State Building is crumbling.
00:50:27The tidal wave.
00:50:29The tidal wave.
00:50:29It's coming.
00:50:30We'll all be killed.
00:50:31The tidal wave.
00:50:33The tidal wave.
00:50:39A panic started.
00:50:41They're running wild.
00:50:54Where are you going?
00:50:54You've got to get out of here.
00:50:55Well, what do you use of running?
00:50:57You can't reach them with a panic-spickin' mob.
00:50:58Well, get everybody on the roof.
00:50:59If it's coming, not as good a place as any.
00:51:01Get the people out of the press room.
00:51:03Everybody, quick.
00:51:03I've got to get Larlan, buddy.
00:51:05But here, you can't get across town in this mob.
00:51:07Try the phone.
00:51:17The flash mob observation place.
00:51:19The tidal wave sighted sweeping over Staten Island.
00:51:21It's thundering onto Manhattan.
00:51:22Warning.
00:51:23All states within 100 miles of the Atlantic coastline evacuate the entire population at once.
00:51:27The tidal wave will sweep inland.
00:51:29National Guard and American Legion commanders report to the nearest army post for emergency service.
00:51:33Tidal wave.
00:51:34Run to your legs.
00:51:36Tidal wave.
00:51:49The tidal wave has struck.
00:51:55The whole Atlantic Ocean is pouring in through New York Harbor.
00:51:57The city is doomed and the millions in it.
00:51:59All of humanity.
00:52:18All of humanity.
00:52:19Tidal wave, it's coming.
00:52:21New York has been wiped out.
00:52:22Look.
00:52:24Look at those, sir.
00:52:25Look at those buildings.
00:53:15Come on.
00:53:16I've got a car outside.
00:53:17Come on.
00:53:20Hurry up, Grandpa.
00:53:21Hurry up.
00:53:42There's the Jorgensen building.
00:53:43The last one standing on Chambers Street.
00:53:45Going all like an old warrior.
00:53:47It's impossible to see anything past 14th Street yet.
00:53:49The peak of the flood water is just now reaching there.
00:53:51The Hudson River has swollen to a height of 30 feet above tide.
00:53:54Wee Hawken is in the westward path of the wave.
00:53:56Attention.
00:53:56This may be the last warning in our time to give.
00:53:59The tidal wave is traveling rapidly.
00:54:00Its direction is south by west.
00:54:02And there goes what remains of the central depot.
00:54:04It's hard to watch that breaking up.
00:54:06It must have been crowded with people hoping to escape by train.
00:54:08But no train.
00:54:10No train could outrace the mad speed of the tidal floodwaters.
00:54:27Yes, but I must get through to my husband.
00:54:31Can't get a line through.
00:54:32And it's rising fast.
00:54:34We'll try to keep our equipment dry as long as we can.
00:54:37New York's highest point above sea level, Washington Heights, is underwater.
00:54:40I guess the finish is near.
00:54:42We'll take you down to the bay again.
00:54:43But it's hard to tell where it begins.
00:54:45There's only one thing visible.
00:54:48Men and women of America, this is the end.
00:54:56What's that clicking?
00:54:57The New York teletype.
00:55:01That's funny.
00:55:12Hey, Jeff!
00:55:25But that's impossible.
00:55:26I just saw the stock exchange building wrecked in the television.
00:55:34Confirm.
00:55:36Immediately.
00:55:38Has.
00:55:40Title.
00:55:41Wave.
00:55:42Hit.
00:55:44New York.
00:55:45Hey, Chester.
00:55:49What do you make of this?
00:55:50Yes, a guy thinks we've had a tidal wave.
00:55:56Somebody's idea of a gag.
00:56:00They're answering.
00:56:03Quit kidding.
00:56:04Been raining cats and dogs here.
00:56:07Some wires down.
00:56:09But if there's been a tidal wave,
00:56:12we didn't even get wet feet.
00:56:15Yours must be cold.
00:56:17That broadcast's a fake.
00:56:18But why should anyone want to pull a phony like that?
00:56:20I don't know, unless...
00:56:22Boy, have we been dumb.
00:56:23What's the quickest way to get the people away from the polls?
00:56:25A panic.
00:56:25You don't think that Farrah would be too...
00:56:27No, Farrah wouldn't, but Sutter would.
00:56:28I'm going across the street to K&R and find out what is going on.
00:56:31Meanwhile, you round up your gang and get out a special bulletin.
00:56:33We may need it.
00:56:34But you better take Roy and a bunch of my hustlers.
00:56:40Well, you stop eating that stuff and come on.
00:56:42I should turn away from danger and have my back face to face with it.
00:56:45Why, this is the most stupendous stuff I ever shot in my life.
00:56:47Yes, but what good is it?
00:56:48There won't be anybody left to show it to.
00:56:50Look, honey, get lost, will ya?
00:56:52I'll try it.
00:56:57Beatrice, bring your still camera, quick!
00:57:16You can't come in here!
00:57:19Where do you think you're going, wise guy?
00:57:24Just as I thought.
00:57:26A city of eight million.
00:57:27Eight million souls built by the toil of ten generations of men
00:57:31engulfed in one mad moment of nature's fury.
00:57:33What do you mean? First to get in my station.
00:57:36So, this little stunt had station cooperation, eh, Miggins?
00:57:43Here's your tidal wave, a movie.
00:57:44How do you expect to get away without a library film?
00:57:47We forgot to announce it was a film transcription.
00:57:49And broadcasting a film isn't any crime.
00:57:51Deliberately inciting a panic is.
00:57:53You've gotten away with larceny, bribery, and murder,
00:57:55but this time you tripped yourself up.
00:57:56Now, wait a minute.
00:57:57You can't interfere with a legitimate television program.
00:58:00We can until the polls close tonight.
00:58:02We'll try to bring the people to their senses.
00:58:03After that, the grand jury can have a look at your legitimate little program.
00:58:06You sure you got film in the camera this time?
00:58:08Ah, plenty.
00:58:09Then take another picture of this legitimate enterprise
00:58:11for the district attorney's office.
00:58:14Jeff, look out!
00:58:17Peaches, don't let them get away!
00:58:40Peaches, don't let them get away!
00:58:40Then take another picture of me.
00:58:43All right, let them get away!
00:58:47Come on, let them get away!
00:59:14Grazie a tutti!
00:59:17Grazie a tutti!
00:59:49Grazie a tutti!
00:59:51Grazie a tutti!
00:59:53Grazie a tutti!
01:00:00Grazie a tutti!
01:00:04Grazie a tutti!
01:01:19Grazie a tutti!
01:01:22Grazie a tutti!
