00:00:00The End
00:01:19All right, hold her there, Joe.
00:01:23What are you going to do with it, Tom?
00:01:24You dunk it.
00:01:25We could fix it up.
00:01:26You heard me.
00:01:27Scrap it.
00:01:28Oh, now ease up.
00:01:30We could salvage a good piece of it and...
00:01:31I don't want any part of it.
00:01:33That heap killed Chick.
00:01:34I don't want to ever see it again.
00:01:35I know it's tough, losing your kid's brother.
00:01:38But you can't go on like this.
00:01:40You've got to let down.
00:01:41I will as soon as I get out of town.
00:01:42Well, what good's that going to do?
00:01:44You've got a good job here and a real future.
00:01:46Yeah, sweating extra speed out of jalopy.
00:01:48So thrill-hungry kids can get themselves cracked up.
00:01:51You've got a partnership in the garage if you'll stay.
00:01:54Thanks, Pat.
00:01:55You're a swell guy.
00:01:56I'm practical.
00:01:57The way you take those heaps and juice them up?
00:02:00Why, we could take a lot of old has-been crates and make them into custom-built.
00:02:05Thanks, Pat.
00:02:06This is the way it's got to be.
00:02:17Well, you'll need some dough wherever you land.
00:02:20Well, I've got enough.
00:02:21If I get stuck, I'll sell the car when I get to California.
00:02:23I can see your mind's made up.
00:02:25If you ever come back, I'll have a spot for you.
00:02:27Thanks, Pat.
00:03:06Sure looks so hot, really.
00:03:10Like a stack of hops on a cold griddle.
00:03:12Is this your lot, mister?
00:03:14No, I'm waiting for the owner.
00:03:15If he can find me a customer with a big enough bankroll, I'll sell this baby.
00:03:18Well, I might be interested.
00:03:20Is she as fast as she looks?
00:03:22120 fast enough for you?
00:03:24You're talking my language.
00:03:25Good.
00:03:26Get in.
00:03:31My name's Tom Durbin.
00:03:33Mine's Betty.
00:03:34All right, Betty.
00:03:35Hang on and watch the speed cops roll.
00:03:49Fast enough for you?
00:03:51Like a short-order cook.
00:03:53Good.
00:03:54How about making a quick deal?
00:03:55Not me.
00:03:56My boyfriend has to give it the once-over first.
00:03:58Boyfriend, huh?
00:03:59When can I see him?
00:04:01Tomorrow morning.
00:04:03That's the way it has to be.
00:04:04It's for my birthday present.
00:04:05I'm sure I can talk him into it.
00:04:08Yeah, I'm sure you can.
00:04:11Know where I can put up for the night?
00:04:13Well, I'm at Mrs. Randall's boarding house, Hash, and Whistler's mother, and three good to you today.
00:04:18Good enough.
00:04:36Oh, gosh, it's him.
00:04:38Who, the boyfriend?
00:04:39No, the kid just lives here.
00:04:41He works in the bank.
00:04:41He's got a crush on me.
00:04:43Don't tell him about the car.
00:04:44He's the jealous type.
00:04:45Maybe you could get him to buy it for you.
00:04:46He couldn't buy me a refill for a cup of joe.
00:04:50Hello, Steve.
00:04:51Hello, Betty.
00:04:52Steve, I want you to meet Tom Derling, an old friend of mine from out of town.
00:04:55This is Steve Reynolds.
00:04:56Howdy.
00:04:56How are you?
00:04:57We had a date, Betty, remember?
00:04:59Oh, I'll hurry and change.
00:05:01Steve.
00:05:02Tom's staying overnight.
00:05:03Will you help him get a room?
00:05:04Sure.
00:05:05Good night, Betty.
00:05:06Happy birthday.
00:05:07Her birthday?
00:05:09Oh, let's get her something.
00:05:11She's only been here a week.
00:05:12Quite a gal.
00:05:14Yeah, quite a gal.
00:05:28Is your boyfriend the jealous type?
00:05:30Maybe I'm going to lose his sale because Steve took you to the show last night.
00:05:33Oh, that kid.
00:05:34Look, I'm sorry he's late.
00:05:36I could demonstrate the car for you if you have something else to do.
00:05:39All I want to do in this town is leave it.
00:05:45Here they come.
00:05:47Hello, dear.
00:05:48Hello.
00:05:49Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:05:50I want you to meet Tom Derling.
00:05:52This is Jack Conley I was telling you about.
00:05:54Howdy.
00:05:55Glad to know you, Derling.
00:05:55And he's brother Frank.
00:05:57I am.
00:05:58So this is it, huh?
00:06:00This and what's under the hood, I'd like to show you.
00:06:02In just a few minutes, if you don't mind.
00:06:04We've got a little business in the bank.
00:06:05Only take a minute.
00:06:06Take a little ride then, huh?
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:12You'd better turn on the glamour.
00:06:13Your boyfriend doesn't seem very interested in your birthday present.
00:06:17Don't worry.
00:06:17You've got things on his mind.
00:06:19This is only a 10-minute parking zone.
00:06:21Oh, we're waiting for a friend in the bank.
00:06:23If I'm going to make it snappy, you'll get a ticket.
00:06:24Okay, I'll drive around the block.
00:06:25Never mind that.
00:06:27Stay here.
00:06:32Hello, Biddy.
00:06:33Hello, Tom.
00:06:34Hello, Steve.
00:06:34I was just going out to lunch.
00:06:35Maybe you'd like to...
00:06:36No, I can't.
00:06:36Excuse me.
00:06:37I'm busy.
00:06:38I'd better move before that cop gets back.
00:06:39I said stay here.
00:06:41Anything wrong?
00:06:42If I can be of any help...
00:06:46Hey, what's going on?
00:06:48Keep that motor on it.
00:06:48Get rid of the shovel.
00:06:50Hey, what is this?
00:06:51You heard me.
00:06:52They're taking orders.
00:06:57All right, come on.
00:06:57Get going.
00:06:58Hold.
00:07:14All right, let's get going.
00:07:16Step on a move.
00:07:17Hey, what is this?
00:07:18You heard me.
00:07:19They're taking orders.
00:07:22Hey, what is this?
00:07:51Hey, what is this?
00:07:54Pour it on.
00:08:24Okay, we lost him.
00:08:33I got you. I met another guy out there when I came out.
00:08:35I tried to brush him.
00:08:37Anyway, the information I pumped out of him helped plenty, didn't it?
00:08:39Yeah, it helped me.
00:08:40How much did we get?
00:08:41Oh, around 100 G.
00:08:44Sonny's talking to me, Eddie.
00:08:45What do you expect me to say?
00:08:47Oh, look, mister, I've been a good boy.
00:08:49Here, I have a couple in my boots.
00:08:51I didn't have much choice, did I?
00:08:53No, you weren't on the spot.
00:08:55And you're still on the spot.
00:08:57Yeah, we all got a murder rap hanging on us.
00:08:59That copper croaks.
00:09:00Shut up.
00:09:05Down the road, a piece to Walnut Grove.
00:09:07That's where you're droppers.
00:09:09We're leaving you behind, Sonny.
00:09:11You can take care of yourself.
00:09:13Yeah?
00:09:15Maybe I can.
00:09:17Look out!
00:09:21Don't cry.
00:09:34I'll cry.
00:09:37I'll cry.
00:09:37Go, Jack.
00:09:37Go, Jack!
00:09:37Go, Jack.
00:09:37Go, Jack.
00:09:38Go, Jack.
00:09:39Go, Jack.
00:09:56They're here with Tom Dirling.
00:09:58All right, send them in.
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:12Stay on your feet.
00:10:13I'm kind of banged up.
00:10:15Yeah?
00:10:16The bank guard is dead.
00:10:19Looks like the cop might kick off, too.
00:10:21I didn't shoot them.
00:10:22No?
00:10:24Then what were you using this for?
00:10:26To pick your teeth?
00:10:27It's the gun that shot them both, and it's the gun we found on you.
00:10:31It's not my gun.
00:10:32I was framed into the stick-up.
00:10:33That girl was kind of...
00:10:34Are you going to stick to that fairy tale?
00:10:37The big bad girl forced the good little boy to shoot two men.
00:10:41I didn't shoot anybody.
00:10:43Steve Reynolds saw the whole thing.
00:10:45He happened along just then, and...
00:10:47Oh, Reynolds just happened along then.
00:10:50And you just happened to be there at the same time.
00:10:53What do you take us for?
00:10:54I want the truth.
00:10:55You've got it there in my statement.
00:10:58From Chicago, huh?
00:11:00What did you come out here for?
00:11:02It's all in there.
00:11:03I was asking a question.
00:11:04My brother was killed.
00:11:06I don't want to live there anymore.
00:11:08Oh.
00:11:09Sensitive type.
00:11:15I ran out of dough.
00:11:17I stopped in Santa Marta to sell my car.
00:11:19And those two?
00:11:21Jack and Frank Conley.
00:11:22They come out here with you?
00:11:23I never saw them before today at the bank.
00:11:25And you thought they wanted to buy your car?
00:11:27Nice car, too.
00:11:29A real nice car.
00:11:31It's not hot, if that's what you mean.
00:11:33Buying old cars and fixing them up is my racket.
00:11:35Oh, so you're going to rack it, huh?
00:11:37It's my work.
00:11:38I'm good at it.
00:11:41In there, you'll find the name of a man in Chicago, Pat Travers.
00:11:44He'll tell you all about me.
00:11:46Tell me what?
00:11:47That you worked there?
00:11:48That you went to church on Sunday?
00:11:50You weren't in Chicago this morning.
00:11:52You were right here, sticking up a bank.
00:11:54And Reynolds gave you and your girlfriend all the information you needed.
00:11:58Is that what he said?
00:11:59He's not saying much.
00:12:00He may not live either.
00:12:02Mr. Booth, believe me, Steve Reynolds had nothing to do with this.
00:12:06Let me talk to him.
00:12:07He'll set you straight on both of us.
00:12:08He'll set you in the gas chamber, and that's where you're headed, darling.
00:12:12If you weren't in on this, why didn't you jump out of the car in front of the bank?
00:12:15I couldn't.
00:12:16They had their guns on me.
00:12:18Oh, what's the use?
00:12:19You won't let me talk to him?
00:12:21Sure we will.
00:12:22We'll all talk to him.
00:12:24If he comes, too.
00:12:26Call me when Reynolds is conscious.
00:12:28Take Darling to the hospital and wait.
00:12:31Okay, come on.
00:12:41Yes, that's right.
00:12:43I'm sorry, Miss Reynolds.
00:12:44That's about the whole story.
00:12:47Oh, just a moment.
00:12:48Here's Dr. Reedy.
00:12:49He'd like to talk to me.
00:12:51Doctor, it's Miss Reynolds, Steve Reynolds' sister.
00:12:54Dr. Reedy.
00:12:56We can't wait, Miss Reynolds.
00:12:58We're going to operate in a few minutes.
00:13:00I'll leave right away.
00:13:01I should be there in two hours.
00:13:04Please, please do everything you can for him.
00:13:13Children!
00:13:14Miss Reynolds!
00:13:15We just heard over the radio.
00:13:17I know about my brother.
00:13:18I was just leaving for Santa Marta.
00:13:20Miss Reynolds, before you go, inasmuch as your brother's mixed up in this thing, don't you think we should get
00:13:28a substitute teacher for the time being?
00:13:31You know how the parents are.
00:13:33Mr. Willoughby, you have my resignation.
00:13:36If you'll excuse me, I'll just miss the class.
00:13:37Of course, once your brother's cleared, Miss Reynolds, we want your back.
00:13:43We can't let sentiment interfere with our duty, can we?
00:13:52Well?
00:13:53He just came out of the operating room.
00:13:54Come on.
00:13:56Come on.
00:14:01What about him?
00:14:03We've done all we could.
00:14:04I'll give him just a few minutes.
00:14:05You can go in now.
00:14:07Come on.
00:14:22All right.
00:14:24Talk, John.
00:14:26Reynolds.
00:14:28Reynolds.
00:14:29Remember me, Derling?
00:14:32The fellow in the car with Betty.
00:14:35Don't think I was in on this stick-up.
00:14:36Tell him what you saw.
00:14:38They had their guns on me.
00:14:39Tell him, Steve.
00:14:39You saw them.
00:14:41Steve, you've got to tell him I'm charged with murder.
00:14:52Come on.
00:14:54Well, there's your alibi.
00:14:55Come on.
00:14:56Let's go.
00:14:57Let's go.
00:15:48What's that compound when he came in?
00:15:50No.
00:15:54Hi, fellas.
00:16:04When did it happen?
00:16:05Just a few minutes ago.
00:16:06Upstairs.
00:16:08What do you think?
00:16:19Oh, baby.
00:16:22Oh, baby.
00:16:22Of course, buddy.
00:16:22The emer steroid, yeah.
00:16:26Oh, baby.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:33Hello.
00:16:35Oh, baby.
00:16:36Hold it.
00:16:39Oh, baby.
00:16:42Oh, baby.
00:16:45Let's go.
00:16:51Okay.
00:17:01Close the door.
00:17:08If only I could have talked to him or done something.
00:17:13There's nothing more you could have done.
00:17:15I'm sorry, Miss Reynolds.
00:17:17In the third place, gentlemen,
00:17:18I hardly need warn you against the danger of causing any injury
00:17:22for the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves of the abdominal wall.
00:17:31What do you want? Can't you see we're operating?
00:17:34There's a murderer in the building, Doctor.
00:17:36There's nobody here but my students.
00:17:38What do you mean breaking in like this?
00:17:39No gown, no mask.
00:17:41Get out!
00:17:47Reynolds' sister just showed up.
00:17:49You stay here and check everybody who comes out of this room.
00:17:53You'll bring the Reynolds girl in my office.
00:17:58Did he ever mention Tom Derling to you?
00:18:01No.
00:18:02Anybody named Frank?
00:18:04No.
00:18:06This girl, Betty,
00:18:07maybe he wrote you about her, where she came from.
00:18:10Mr. Booth, suppose my brother was in front of the bank.
00:18:13He worked there.
00:18:14Derling says he was for him, too.
00:18:17You believe him?
00:18:18Miss Reynolds,
00:18:20let's just say that your brother got in with the wrong guy
00:18:23or maybe fell for a pretty face.
00:18:25It happens, you know.
00:18:26If you find the others, you'll know he had nothing to do with it.
00:18:29We'll find them, all right.
00:18:31Any ideas as to where we should look?
00:18:33No.
00:18:45What about Derling?
00:18:47Not yet, Chief.
00:18:48You know he's following the girl?
00:18:49Get Derling!
00:18:54Pretty interesting job.
00:18:55What did that guy mean later?
00:18:57Some guy said he got away.
00:18:58Probably make you.
00:18:59Yeah.
00:19:00Yeah.
00:19:00Yeah.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:23You're serious about surgery, aren't you?
00:19:27You know you can take off that mask now.
00:19:32I'm sorry, but I have to lock up.
00:19:34I'll be out in a few minutes.
00:20:04I don't want to hurt you.
00:20:05Be quiet.
00:20:06Well, I want us five minutes to get out of here.
00:20:08If I let you go, do you promise to be quiet?
00:20:11I'm sorry, but you asked for it, sister.
00:20:13It's different.
00:20:55The train's late.
00:20:57Oh, it's late.
00:20:58Sometimes later than other time.
00:21:00It's always late, though.
00:21:01Come on.
00:21:11Miss Reynolds, don't yell.
00:21:12Just stand there and listen, please.
00:21:14What do you want?
00:21:14Who are you?
00:21:15You're the man in the hospital.
00:21:17Derling!
00:21:18Wait.
00:21:18I need your help.
00:21:19I'm just as innocent as your brother.
00:21:21Can you prove that?
00:21:22If I could get my hands on those guys who framed us, I could prove plenty.
00:21:25Why should I believe you?
00:21:26You have to.
00:21:26You want to clear your brother, don't you?
00:21:31We'll knock him and you'll kill the last chance of clearing him.
00:21:39Pardon, miss.
00:21:40We're looking for somebody.
00:21:41Young fellow.
00:21:42Dark.
00:21:43About six foot.
00:21:44Pretty black hair.
00:21:45See someone like that hanging around?
00:21:50No, I haven't seen anyone.
00:21:52Sorry, mister.
00:21:53Got to take this away.
00:21:59We kind of thought this guy might try to get on the train tonight.
00:22:02Better watch yourself, miss.
00:22:04He's a killer.
00:22:05Come on, Dan.
00:22:06Train's in.
00:22:13Thanks.
00:22:14Why'd you do it?
00:22:16I don't know.
00:22:17For a minute, I...
00:22:19That's my train.
00:22:20Wait.
00:22:21I've been following you all day.
00:22:22Now, watch at the funeral this afternoon.
00:22:24Do you want to clear your brother or don't you?
00:22:27The police said...
00:22:28Wouldn't I be here risking my neck talking to you if I went on the level?
00:22:32All aboard.
00:22:33Well, what can you do?
00:22:35By myself, nothing.
00:22:36I can't show my face.
00:22:37But with you, someone who can work out in the open,
00:22:39together we might be able to untangle this thing.
00:22:45All right.
00:22:47What do we do?
00:22:48First thing, we try to get this off.
00:23:17We're going late tonight, huh?
00:23:18Always work late.
00:23:20Self's hard to get.
00:23:22And they're lonely out here.
00:23:23I like it.
00:23:24Nobody to pester me.
00:23:26Got a radio?
00:23:27I don't like radios.
00:23:29Blah, blah, blah.
00:23:31A lot of nonsense.
00:23:32You're not lucky for me you're here.
00:23:34Silliest thing happened.
00:23:35I guess I should be mad at the kid,
00:23:37but after all, it was as much my fault as his.
00:23:41I couldn't have let him play with it.
00:23:46I can't very well go downtown.
00:23:47The guys have kid me the rest of my life.
00:23:50That and my kid locked me up in my own handcuffs.
00:23:52I feel like an idiot.
00:23:54Where's the key?
00:23:55The kid lost him.
00:23:57Well, I guess we can get you out of it
00:23:59without cutting your arm off.
00:24:01You, sir, Sheriff Dolbish,
00:24:04I don't recollect seeing you around before.
00:24:06I'm a new man.
00:24:07Oh.
00:24:09Well, I think I may have a key over here.
00:24:11Henry!
00:24:13Nancy, you come in here.
00:24:14Henry, Mr. Blake just phoned
00:24:15and want you to come downtown right away.
00:24:17I thought he would.
00:24:18He's short of men.
00:24:20You're going to take these off
00:24:21before you go, aren't you?
00:24:21Sure, sure.
00:24:23They've got the roads all blocked.
00:24:24They're looking for that bank robber
00:24:25and they want you to help.
00:24:26Up with them, young man.
00:24:27What are you doing, Henry?
00:24:28That's him, the bank robber.
00:24:30Now hold his gun on him, Nancy.
00:24:32That's it.
00:24:34So you was playing as a kid, was it, young man?
00:24:37You ashamed of yourself
00:24:37trying to fool an old man?
00:24:40Hold on him, Nancy.
00:24:42Watch him.
00:24:44All right, give me your wrist.
00:24:46There you are.
00:24:46Now give me the gun, Nancy.
00:24:48There.
00:24:49Now go on out and phone the sheriff.
00:24:51Tell him I'll be right down.
00:24:52Say, I've got a surprise for him.
00:24:54Land safe.
00:25:03Sheriff Blake, please.
00:25:07Sheriff?
00:25:08Henry just caught that bank robber.
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:11In a blacksmith shop.
00:25:14We're starting right away.
00:25:18Henry, shall I get the car?
00:25:26You must be tired.
00:25:27You'd better rest a while.
00:25:32Well, that was a swell idea I had,
00:25:34but it hadn't been for you.
00:25:35I had to do something.
00:25:37You must have cat blood in you,
00:25:38the way you crept up behind that blacksmith.
00:25:39He never knew what hit him.
00:25:41Hope he's all right.
00:25:42Ah, don't worry.
00:25:45You know what you did when you hit him, don't you?
00:25:47You jumped into this thing with both feet.
00:25:50I realize that.
00:25:52He said you had some kind of plan.
00:25:54That's right.
00:25:55Well, the first thing I want you to do
00:25:56is go to Mrs. Randall's boarding house
00:25:58and get everything your brother left behind there.
00:26:00And that girl, Betty, might have left something, too.
00:26:02What am I supposed to find?
00:26:04I don't know.
00:26:05But at least it's a place to start.
00:26:07You ready?
00:26:29No dice.
00:26:30We might as well have left this at the boarding house.
00:26:32Try this suitcase with Betty.
00:26:35Shouldn't have been kicked around.
00:26:37No wonder she left it.
00:26:39It's empty.
00:26:43Those guys got away with a hundred thousand bucks
00:26:45and left us holding two moth-eaten bags.
00:26:48You're not after the money.
00:26:49The spot I'm in would have come in mighty handy.
00:26:52Just a minute.
00:26:53If I thought that's what you wanted, mother...
00:26:54Forget it.
00:26:55We don't even know where they are
00:26:56or have any idea how to get started finding them.
00:27:00You'd better take the train home in the morning.
00:27:01What are you going to do?
00:27:03Sit here.
00:27:05Cut out paper dolls
00:27:07and wait for them to find me.
00:27:10Wait a minute.
00:27:11What?
00:27:12These are restaurant doilies, aren't they?
00:27:14Yes.
00:27:19She used them to patch the holes in the lining.
00:27:21Why wouldn't she use newspaper?
00:27:23Why doilies?
00:27:25The checks.
00:27:26The way she talked.
00:27:28When I asked her if the car was fast enough, she said, like a short order cook.
00:27:32That's it, and a cup of joe.
00:27:34What does it mean?
00:27:35Her lingo.
00:27:36Hash house talk.
00:27:37And now these doilies.
00:27:39The River Ford Inn.
00:27:42The Glen Grove Tea Room.
00:27:45Bixle Cafe, Glendale.
00:27:46You think she was a waitress and worked in these places?
00:27:49Maybe.
00:27:50Just maybe.
00:27:52One of these spots is in Glendale, and the others are a couple hundred miles away.
00:27:56We'll have to take the back roads if you get caught with me.
00:27:58Well, you wouldn't dare show your face.
00:27:59I'll have to take that chance.
00:28:01Thanks.
00:28:41I've never heard of her.
00:28:43She must have just eaten that once and picked up the matches.
00:28:54She said she came from someplace around here.
00:28:56A waitress named Betty Forrester, huh?
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:00My wife and I were wondering what happened to her.
00:29:02We met her on her honeymoon.
00:29:05Well, not this place.
00:29:07Never had any women working here.
00:29:09Sorry.
00:29:10Thanks, anyway.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:13Well, let's go.
00:29:15One more stop.
00:29:16That's not it.
00:29:25If anything they was asking about, huh?
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:30Extra gangster trail to Sacramento!
00:29:36Extra, extra, read all about it!
00:29:38Gangster trail to Sacramento!
00:29:46You better try this one alone.
00:30:09You better try this one alone.
00:30:16You're the most persistent guy I ever saw.
00:30:19You know what it says in the book?
00:30:20Be punching.
00:30:21It also says something about patrolling your beat.
00:30:26Dishes, dishes.
00:30:28You've got another sink, fool.
00:30:31The only body can do run a tearoom without help.
00:30:35Mr. Roaster, Mr. Wilson, I was wondering where you two have been keeping yourselves.
00:30:39Hiya, Ma.
00:30:40Hiya, Ma.
00:30:41Hey, what's cooking?
00:30:42Turkey!
00:30:43I just smelled them in my life.
00:30:45Oh, thanks.
00:30:46Say, some coffee go good with these, Ma.
00:30:48Are you still all alone here?
00:30:50Huh, he's hoping his girlfriend might have come back.
00:30:52Ain't seen hide the hair a baby since she left two weeks ago.
00:30:55What can I do for you, dear?
00:30:57I just got into town and thought maybe you could use some help.
00:31:00Uh-uh.
00:31:01I don't think so.
00:31:02Well, what's the matter, Ma?
00:31:04You know you could use some help.
00:31:06I don't know.
00:31:07I've been getting along all right.
00:31:08Ah, go on.
00:31:09You told me yourself your dishwashing machine was busted.
00:31:13You look good at job.
00:31:14She looks like she'd be good, too.
00:31:15Well, I...
00:31:18Oh, all right.
00:31:20I pay 20 a week of meals.
00:31:21You sleep out.
00:31:22That's all right.
00:31:23You can start now.
00:31:25I'll pay you for the full day of course.
00:31:27All right.
00:31:27All right, sir.
00:31:28Ah, could you now spare a little time for the steak?
00:31:43And once you went and betty to the policeman, I was sure it was the right place.
00:31:46Then later in the afternoon, while I was washing the dishes, I saw her sneak out a tray with
00:31:50three plates of food.
00:31:51But there was no one in the dining room.
00:31:54Serving three people who weren't there.
00:31:56Looks like they're hiding all right.
00:31:57It has to be.
00:31:58Now, the thing to do is to go to the police.
00:32:00Nothing doing.
00:32:00Where will that get us?
00:32:01First thing they'll do is throw me in the clink, and I've had enough of clinks.
00:32:04But when they get the real crooks, it will...
00:32:06Well, suppose they turn around and say that your brother and I went on the hold up and stick
00:32:08to that story.
00:32:09Then where are we?
00:32:10Back in the soup with them for company.
00:32:13What else?
00:32:16I'll handle this in my own way.
00:32:18How?
00:32:18What are you going to do?
00:32:20From now on, you're out of it.
00:32:21But you...
00:32:22You're not going back there.
00:32:23If anything could happen, your life wouldn't be worth two cents.
00:32:26I still think we should call in the police.
00:32:28Forget it.
00:32:29We'll get you a place to sleep.
00:32:32In the morning, I'm going to pay a little visit to our pal.
00:33:02There's a cop in front of the filling station next door.
00:33:04He didn't see you.
00:33:05No.
00:33:06Now wait until he chased after a speeder.
00:33:14Oh, no.
00:33:15I fixed up something for you in there.
00:33:24What's this?
00:33:25An ironing board.
00:33:26Oh.
00:33:28An ironing board?
00:33:29Well, it's better than a box of cars.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32I can go to sleep and get my pants pressed at the same time.
00:33:35Thanks, June.
00:33:37You know, I was just thinking.
00:33:39Here we are in this fleabag.
00:33:41And what I could do for you with all that dough those guys got away with.
00:33:44Will you stop thinking about that money?
00:33:46All we're interested in is getting you and Steve cleared.
00:33:49Okay, okay.
00:33:50I was just supposing.
00:33:51Don't you ever suppose?
00:33:53Of course I do.
00:33:53But not about that.
00:33:55But I have been thinking about you being free and a lot of other things.
00:34:29Tom, about the police, don't you?
00:34:35Tom, you took the blacksmith's gun.
00:34:38Why didn't you tell me?
00:34:39Why did you hide it?
00:34:40Why shouldn't I carry a gun?
00:34:41I might need it.
00:34:42Those men we're looking for aren't packing water pistols.
00:34:45Those who get caught in the police find a gun on me.
00:34:48What's the difference?
00:34:48I'm wanted for murder anyway.
00:34:51Tom, I want to believe in you.
00:34:53I want to trust you.
00:34:55Right now I don't know what to believe.
00:34:56Because I've got this gun?
00:34:58That?
00:34:59Other things?
00:35:01Not wanting to go to the police?
00:35:03Worrying about the money?
00:35:05You blame me?
00:35:06Tom, if you find them, you will turn them in.
00:35:09You won't do anything else.
00:35:12How can I convince you?
00:35:15Here.
00:35:16Will this help?
00:35:18A lot.
00:35:19No more doubting?
00:35:21No more doubting.
00:35:25You'd better get some sleep.
00:35:26Good night.
00:35:59Tom?
00:36:03Tom?
00:36:04Tom?
00:36:27Tom?
00:36:37Tom?
00:36:38Tom?
00:36:40Tom?
00:36:48Tom?
00:36:48Tom?
00:36:48Tom?
00:36:49Tom?
00:36:50Tom?
00:36:57Tom?
00:36:59Tom?
00:36:59Tom?
00:37:00Tom?
00:37:00Tom?
00:37:07Tom?
00:37:10Tom?
00:37:12Tom?
00:37:13Tom?
00:37:14Tom?
00:37:24Tom?
00:37:25Tom?
00:37:26Tom?
00:37:26Tom?
00:37:30Tom?
00:37:31Tom?
00:37:32Tom?
00:37:32Tom?
00:37:32Tom?
00:37:32Tom?
00:37:33Tom?
00:37:45Tom?
00:37:47Tom?
00:37:58Tom?
00:38:00Tom?
00:38:01Tom?
00:38:02Tom?
00:38:04Tom?
00:38:06Tom?
00:38:07Ma. It's a nice, big, crooked family. Now, look here, darling, whatever you want. That
00:38:12Rob won't get it. Maybe not. Maybe all it'll get me is a nice, sweet feeling of putting
00:38:17a bullet in each of you. For the way you made me sweat. You wouldn't do that. Oh, wouldn't
00:38:21I? I've been dreaming about it ever since I started looking for you. Give us a break,
00:38:26will you? Like you gave me. You got away, didn't you? Sure. For how long? If I get caught,
00:38:30I burn. For what? So you guys can enjoy that hundred grand? If it's a cut you want, put
00:38:36it down that gat and we'll talk about it. I don't want a cut. I want it all. Where
00:38:39is it? We haven't got it. I'm itching to use this. Honest, it isn't here. We haven't got
00:38:45it, so it won't do any good to pop us. Expect me to believe that? If I get away, I'll
00:38:50have
00:38:50something to enjoy. And if I fry, I'll have something to fry for. I tell you, we haven't
00:38:55got it. Another guy planned this job and he's got it. I'll wait for him to fix our getaway.
00:39:00Do I get the door now or do I let you have it? Don't you move. Put your hands up.
00:39:06Put
00:39:08your hands up. Now, we're going out here. Put your hands up. Come on, here. Hold on,
00:39:27go and let's go. Come on. Come on. Come on, carry on. Come on. Come on, carry on. Come on,
00:39:40Break it here and try and grab the door, will you?
00:39:42All right, Jack.
00:39:42That's enough.
00:39:44Yeah, enough of that.
00:39:47Stop it.
00:39:48There's been enough killing already.
00:39:49The rest of the martyrs...
00:39:50Stop it!
00:39:50There'll be no more killing.
00:39:53I'd like to know what else we can do with him.
00:39:55Frank, find out how he got here.
00:39:57Yeah, maybe he ain't told us everything.
00:40:00Hey, Sonny, you want to do a little more talking?
00:40:02Come on.
00:40:03Get up.
00:40:06Come on, sit down.
00:40:10How'd you find it?
00:40:12Through her.
00:40:13He's nuts.
00:40:14I never told him anything.
00:40:16How'd you know where we were?
00:40:17Some restaurant, Doily.
00:40:18She left it an old suitcase.
00:40:20Had the name of the place on it.
00:40:22That was smart.
00:40:23It's lucky I found the Doily's before the cops had a chance to search her things.
00:40:26Maybe the cops let him come here purposely.
00:40:28They're trailing him.
00:40:29You think I'd come here alone if I had the cops with me?
00:40:32Sure, Sonny figured he'd bluff us out of the door and scram.
00:40:34Not bad figuring.
00:40:36All right, Ma, you don't want to stop bumping.
00:40:38What do we do with him?
00:40:40Oh, wait a minute.
00:40:41I did come here for the Do.
00:40:43I'm hot.
00:40:44After all, I was taking your rap.
00:40:46You'd have done the same.
00:40:47Now what?
00:40:47The spot I'm in, I can't hurt you.
00:40:49I'm worse off for the cops than you are.
00:40:52Let me hang around till you pull out.
00:40:54Or if you like, give me a small cut.
00:40:57Or take me with you.
00:40:58I'm good with the car, you know that.
00:40:59Might not be a bad idea.
00:41:00I don't want him around here.
00:41:02Like he says, he can't hurt us none.
00:41:05Maybe we could use him.
00:41:06Joe says that he...
00:41:07Shut up about Joe.
00:41:08Okay, it's only for a couple of days.
00:41:10Yeah, we'll let him hang around.
00:41:11And if he don't behave, we can always take the screws out of him.
00:41:14That I'll enjoy.
00:41:15Okay for now, Mom?
00:41:16Nice.
00:41:17I'll get him some coffee.
00:41:25I'm awfully sorry.
00:41:26I'm late.
00:41:27I miscigated the car and bus.
00:41:29I expect this has been very slow this morning.
00:41:31I'll be glad to stay late at night if you like.
00:41:35That's all right.
00:41:47What do you want me to do first?
00:41:48Get the dining room set up for lunch.
00:42:12Ever fiddle around with aeroplanes, Sonny?
00:42:14Yeah.
00:42:15I'm good at any kind of engine.
00:42:16Why?
00:42:17I might come in handy sometime.
00:42:19That's a small pie you make for lunch, Mom.
00:42:21Glad you liked it, Son.
00:42:24That new girl's really a worker.
00:42:26Certainly helps the body out.
00:42:29Oh, that crack was aimed at me.
00:42:31Don't give the shoe fits, dear.
00:42:33Jack, tell your old lady to lay off.
00:42:34I'm getting fed up.
00:42:36My, my, you weren't so suchy when you were slinging ash here.
00:42:38All right, cut it out, the both of you.
00:42:41Hey, you.
00:42:42Help Mark carry that upstairs.
00:42:44Sure.
00:42:54I thought you were afraid that he might...
00:42:56You know, there's something awful funny about that new dame coming here just before him.
00:43:01Maybe there's nothing to it.
00:43:02Then again, maybe there is.
00:43:05Very smart.
00:43:13Oh, this is Tom, a friend of ours.
00:43:16Well, hello, Sister.
00:43:17Hello.
00:43:18Um, Ma's put me up for a couple of days.
00:43:21Go on with the dishes.
00:43:23I'll get that.
00:43:27Well, I don't...
00:43:28Anything I can do to help, Sister?
00:43:31Yes.
00:43:31Stop calling me Sister.
00:43:34Ma sure knows how to pick her help.
00:43:45Okay, relax.
00:43:46I thought I told you to stay away from here.
00:43:48You took the gunner.
00:43:49I was afraid...
00:43:50Did they hurt you very much?
00:43:52I just got the first installment.
00:43:55How did you know?
00:43:56I followed you here.
00:43:59You put out the lights.
00:44:01We're together in this.
00:44:03Please don't leave me behind again.
00:44:05You might...
00:44:06Might what?
00:44:08If you get killed, you'll kill them.
00:44:10And even if you did get the money, you'd never be free.
00:44:13I'm not free now.
00:44:15There's still a chance.
00:44:17You're certainly in this with both feet, Sister.
00:44:22Au revoir!
00:44:29Hey, you sure do things for that apron.
00:44:31Here we go again.
00:44:33Take my advice, Miss, and go back to the kitchen.
00:44:35This guy's the wolf of Highway 106.
00:44:38Take my advice, and don't take his advice.
00:44:40Let's eat in there.
00:44:41Hey, I thought we were going to eat in the car.
00:44:43We were.
00:44:44Bring the coffee, Tuch.
00:44:46Any table will do.
00:44:52Let me see.
00:44:54Number 16.
00:44:55That one again?
00:44:56Give 14 a whirl.
00:44:57Stop kibitzing, will you?
00:44:5816's my favorite.
00:45:02Hey, I'll bet you're pretty sharp on the dance floor.
00:45:05No, I'm not really.
00:45:06Oh, that's what I like.
00:45:07The modest type.
00:45:08He likes anything, as long as it wears skirts.
00:45:11I'll get you some sugar.
00:45:13Oh, why does everybody pick that piece?
00:45:16Why don't you take it easy, Frank?
00:45:19Come on, Jack.
00:45:20Let's stand.
00:45:21Go away with it.
00:45:22We gotta get this barrel straight.
00:45:24Too bad that gun can't cook.
00:45:26Well, I think you're both even.
00:45:31Hey, that's pretty good.
00:45:32You get it?
00:45:33Gun can't cook, you can't.
00:45:36I'm hysterical.
00:45:38I'll dance with you.
00:45:40Those are wet.
00:45:42I'll set this one out.
00:46:00Let's get it fixed.
00:46:01Just about, I won't know till I plug it in.
00:46:07There you are.
00:46:08Fill it up and dry it out.
00:46:09My man, the two days you've been here, you've got everything working.
00:46:13Yep, everything except Betty.
00:46:14You can't be that busy.
00:46:16Look, I've got the whole evening off and nothing to do with it.
00:46:20That cop beat it.
00:46:22Sorry, I'm busy tonight.
00:46:26All right, why don't we get out of here?
00:46:27I'm getting sick of this joint.
00:46:29So am I.
00:46:30Joe, that's the way low.
00:46:31Where?
00:46:32How long does he expect us to wait?
00:46:34Supposed to take a run out of that door.
00:46:36Yeah, how about that?
00:46:38All right, Betty, you'll beat it up to Joe's tonight and find out what's holding him up.
00:46:41When do you want me to go?
00:46:42Leave here about 9.30, a quarter to 10.
00:46:44What about Sammy?
00:46:45When we leave here, we'll take him with us.
00:46:47Bump him on the way.
00:46:49All that music will drive me nuts.
00:46:52The state cop that used to hang around Betty.
00:46:54Cops hanging around jukeboxes, people coming and going.
00:46:56We ought never to come here.
00:46:57In a minute, somebody's going to get wise.
00:46:59Calm down, will you?
00:47:01Joe said this is the best kind of a front we could have.
00:47:03Yeah?
00:47:03Wider open, it seems.
00:47:05The less libelay are to figure it's a hideout.
00:47:06I wish we were out of here.
00:47:08I don't feel good with cops around.
00:47:22Here's a list of things to get.
00:47:23Have you got everything straight?
00:47:24Yes.
00:47:25Remember, everything has to go like clockwork.
00:47:28How about the cop?
00:47:29Can you get late with him already?
00:47:30I wish everything were bad, isn't it?
00:47:32Bring him here at 11.
00:47:33I'll start my act at 10.30 sharp.
00:47:35The lights go off right after 10.
00:47:37I dump this and the gas tank of Betty's car.
00:47:40They should that'll get well into the country before it clogs it up.
00:47:45Well, you know I have everything.
00:47:47Just put the things back at the jukebox.
00:47:48If the lights go off on schedule, I'll know everything's okay.
00:47:51There's your gag with a few that gave me the idea in the first place.
00:47:55June.
00:48:03I'll get along with you.
00:48:20Now, what's the matter with the lights in this joint?
00:48:28It's dark suddenly around here, doesn't it?
00:48:31I guess another fuse blew.
00:48:45Well, one of you come up and fix the lights.
00:48:47They're out all over the house.
00:48:48Let this guy do it.
00:48:50He's a handyman around here.
00:48:52I'll lock you to him.
00:48:53Sure.
00:49:00Let's see another one.
00:49:02Well, that one's all right.
00:49:04Come on, come on, hurry it up.
00:49:06Uh-huh.
00:49:07There's a bad one.
00:49:11There's another one.
00:49:14Probably a short in the wiring.
00:49:16If we don't fix it, it's liable to keep blowing out.
00:49:18Well, fix it.
00:49:20Let's try in there.
00:49:30It might be in that jukebox.
00:49:33See if you can find the wiring, Diogenes.
00:49:36What did you call me?
00:49:38Diogenes.
00:49:39He was a philosopher.
00:49:40Went around with a lamp.
00:49:41What for?
00:49:43He was looking for an honest man.
00:49:45What for?
00:49:46You got me.
00:49:49Yeah, here it is.
00:49:51How long is it going to take you to fix it?
00:49:52I don't know.
00:49:53Ten alerts, maybe half an hour.
00:49:55You don't need me.
00:49:56Nope.
00:49:57Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
00:50:13I don't know.
00:50:19He was doing and done.
00:50:20I don't know.
00:50:22Master!
00:52:16This place needs some fresh air.
00:52:20I'll bet this window hasn't been open since the house was built.
00:52:23Leave it the way it is.
00:52:24It's hot in here.
00:52:25I like it hot.
00:52:27I don't.
00:52:44I need some air.
00:52:46Look, I've had about as much of you as I can stand.
00:52:48Yeah?
00:52:49How do you think I feel about you?
00:52:51Boy, you say.
00:52:52Take it easy.
00:52:55I think you'd better listen to me.
00:52:56I'm sick of listening to you.
00:52:57Nobody asked you to bustle in here.
00:52:59You know, they got bust in here with just one trick in my hand, do you?
00:53:01What do you mean?
00:53:02I got friends in town.
00:53:03I know where I am.
00:53:05They've also got Betty right now.
00:53:06Are you all right?
00:53:07And if anything happens to me, how do we know he ain't bluffing again?
00:53:10Betty should be where she was going by now, shouldn't she?
00:53:12Why don't you check?
00:53:26Riverford, 920.
00:53:27What is this?
00:53:28Another scheme to get the dough?
00:53:30Nope.
00:53:31What's up the guy's there?
00:53:39I want you to sign a statement that I had nothing to do with that bankhold.
00:53:42Either me or Steve Reynolds.
00:53:44You're a screwy.
00:53:45No answer.
00:53:46What have you done with it?
00:53:47He wants us to give him a confession on that bank job.
00:53:50Either you start writing or they take care of Betty.
00:53:53Well?
00:54:00What do you want me to write?
00:54:02Just tell the truth about the holder.
00:54:21Oh, we're close for the night.
00:54:22I, uh...
00:54:24I'm looking for Ma.
00:54:26Just a minute.
00:54:27I'll get her.
00:54:28Hey.
00:54:30Say, don't I know you?
00:54:31I don't think so.
00:54:33I'll get Ma.
00:54:33Now, wait a minute.
00:54:34That's all that...
00:54:35Oh, hello, Jill.
00:54:36Who's this?
00:54:38It's June, my new waitress.
00:54:39How long's she been here?
00:54:40Couple of days.
00:54:41Couple of days, huh?
00:54:43You were in my place with some guy looking for Betty.
00:54:46I couldn't be.
00:54:47She doesn't even know Betty.
00:54:48She just came here looking for a job.
00:54:49Yeah?
00:54:50We'll see.
00:55:06What's matter, Jill?
00:55:07Is this name trying to...
00:55:11Sure.
00:55:12That's the guy?
00:55:14What guy?
00:55:15What's this dame and her husband pulling on you?
00:55:17Husband?
00:55:17He says they came to his place looking for Betty.
00:55:20Said they used to know her.
00:55:22Well, what do you got to say now, sonny?
00:55:25Well, she's your wife, huh?
00:55:29Where is Betty?
00:55:30Where do you head down with her?
00:55:31You gonna tell us, or...?
00:55:33Oh, no.
00:55:36This ought to be easy.
00:55:38You tell us what he did with her.
00:55:40Oh, it's gonna be like that, huh?
00:55:42You better spill it, sister, or...
00:55:44She had nothing to do with it.
00:55:46All right, you talk, then.
00:55:49Betty's probably on her way to his place now.
00:55:52They took up her gas so she'd stall before she got there.
00:55:54There's nobody else in on this, would you?
00:55:56No.
00:55:56Let's go back to your place and see.
00:55:58Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:55:59Wait a minute.
00:56:00What are we gonna do with them?
00:56:01We're about through here.
00:56:02I just don't give it to them now.
00:56:03Not yet.
00:56:03Yeah, we'll take them with us.
00:56:04Come on.
00:56:05If they're giving us the run around, then we can do it.
00:56:07Where are you taking us, Deriv?
00:56:09Get!
00:56:23Come on, get going.
00:56:29We ought to be along here someplace.
00:56:33That's our car.
00:56:42We'll keep going.
00:56:44Macy, you're down the road.
00:56:56One night I get a date with her, I have to be late.
00:56:59Looks like they're closed.
00:57:00I'll wait for you.
00:57:29Well, I guess you got tired of waiting.
00:57:30Well, pal, you're batting an even zero.
00:57:34Hey, who's that?
00:57:38Betty!
00:57:41Betty, how've you been?
00:57:42Hello, Al.
00:57:43Hiya, Betty.
00:57:43Hey, you look like you've been hiking clear from New York.
00:57:46Yeah, I missed connections.
00:57:48Oh, well, you must be dead.
00:57:50Let's go inside.
00:57:51We'll cut up a few touches.
00:57:53Let's go inside.
00:58:00Baby, are you a sight for sore eyes?
00:58:02Where have you been keeping yourself, anyway?
00:58:04I must look awful.
00:58:05Let me fix up a bit and I'll tell you all about it.
00:58:07Okay.
00:58:07Better look out she don't slip out the back door on you.
00:58:09I'll be right back.
00:58:16So I'm batting zero, huh?
00:58:18Oh, ho, ho.
00:58:20Hey, give me a nickel.
00:58:23Al, not number 16 again.
00:58:24It's driving me batting.
00:58:26Oh, yeah.
00:58:27Come here.
00:58:29Oh, you got no ear for music.
00:58:30Come on, give me.
00:58:31Nope.
00:58:32Only if you promise to play another one.
00:58:38You'll hear it and like it.
00:58:39I may hear it, but I won't like it.
00:58:45Now, this is my favorite.
00:58:47Look, I'll see you in the morning.
00:58:49I want some fresh air.
00:58:51Look, I've had about as much of you as I can.
00:58:53Yeah?
00:58:54How do you think I feel about you?
00:58:56What?
00:58:56Hey, take it easy.
00:59:00I think you'd better listen to me.
00:59:01I'm sick of listening to you.
00:59:02Nobody asked you to bustle in here.
00:59:04You know, they got bust in here with just one trick in my hand, do you?
00:59:07What do you mean?
00:59:07I got friends in town.
00:59:09I know where I am.
00:59:10They've also got Betty right now.
00:59:11Are you calling it?
00:59:13And if anything happens to me...
00:59:15Riverport doesn't answer.
00:59:17How do you have time to get there?
00:59:19I've got to get rid of those cops.
00:59:21Glenn, tell them I've got a headache.
00:59:23You got yourself into this.
00:59:26All right, I'll do it myself.
00:59:28Here, hold it.
00:59:30There's all the time to run in there.
00:59:33Why would you have to come back here?
00:59:35Why don't you keep on going?
00:59:36The only ride I could get was this way.
00:59:39If it was, I had to walk far enough.
00:59:41He wants to lazy.
00:59:42I'll dry up.
00:59:43I've got to think something to tell that cop.
00:59:47You keep trying the phone.
00:59:53Now, do I look a little better?
00:59:57Well, June better look as good when we find her.
00:59:59Where have they taken them?
01:00:00Where is this Joe's place?
01:00:03What's come over you two?
01:00:04Come on, Betty.
01:00:05You better spill it.
01:00:07Come on.
01:00:19All right, come on.
01:00:20Get out.
01:00:23Well, she isn't here.
01:00:25Maybe Betty went back to Moore's.
01:00:27Better phone.
01:00:27She better be there.
01:00:29Come on, get inside.
01:00:36Uh-uh.
01:00:43All right, operator, did you trace that call?
01:00:45Well, right.
01:00:47Now, River Ford didn't.
01:00:49The rig crew.
01:00:49Let's go.
01:00:55What's more?
01:00:56What'd you do with it?
01:00:57I told you.
01:01:02Come on.
01:01:03Tell me.
01:01:03What'd you do with it?
01:01:13Maybe you'll want to talk.
01:01:14He's telling you the truth.
01:01:15He doesn't know where she is.
01:01:18Look out!
01:01:21Come on, hurry.
01:01:23Come on.
01:01:27Let's go.
01:01:55Come on in here.
01:02:21Go on, blast it.
01:02:29Let's go.
01:03:14This is for you, sonny.
01:03:21Let's go.
01:03:23Let's go.
01:03:38Let's go.
01:03:41Let's go.
01:04:10Let's go.
01:04:12Let's go.
01:04:14Let's go.
01:04:16Let's go.
01:04:17Let's go.
