00:06The End
00:33Oh, my God.
01:15It's too bad Belmont escaped, but at least I captured Farrell.
01:19Farrell?
01:19Yes, I left him at Morello's hotel, handcuffed.
01:22So I'll have to fix this tower and hurry back before Belmont gets to him.
01:29Losing that Stradivarius violin was bad enough, but having Farrell captured by Blake was
01:34even worse.
01:36That's right.
01:37We need Farrell.
01:39Yes, I know.
01:40I'll free him as soon as possible.
01:42But I can't make any plans until I know what Blake intends to do with him.
01:46You can't very well walk into his office and ask him.
01:51No, but I can let him sit there and tell us everything we want to know.
01:57Water?
01:58Oh, yes.
01:59Over there.
02:40Did you get any information from Farrell?
02:43No, but I found this in his pocket.
02:46I'm quite certain it's the key to a post office box.
02:50And if that's where Belmont gets his mail, we're on the right track.
02:53Joyce, will you take this key to the postmaster and see if he can tell you which post office
02:56branch you're shooting?
02:57All right.
02:58That's the last time we'll use that post office.
03:08My dear, this is a wonderful opportunity for us to get Joyce Kingston.
03:17With her in my hands, I can force Blake to release Farrell.
03:20We'll simply exchange prisoners.
03:22That's smart thinking, Jim.
03:32Hello.
03:34This is Blake.
03:37Rita Parker?
03:39Listen carefully, Blake.
03:41We're holding your secretary a prisoner.
03:43And if you want to save her life, you'll have to release Farrell within two hours.
03:47Let Joyce come to the phone so I'll know if you're telling the truth.
03:49I think I can convince you without that.
03:52We got her as she came out of the post office building with that key.
03:55Now, do you believe me?
03:58Maybe.
03:59Remember, you have just two hours to decide.
04:01And by the way, don't waste time having agents watch the post office branches.
04:06We won't be using the mails from now on.
04:09Wait a minute.
04:12She hung up.
04:14Belmont's holding Joyce the prisoner and threatens her life unless we'd release Farrell.
04:24How do you know?
04:25From what Rita Parker said on the telephone.
04:28We've got to get Belmont now.
04:30Let's question Farrell once more.
04:31Okay, you won't talk, Jerry.
04:33Well, it's worth a try.
04:33Come on.
04:34Come on.
04:53Come on.
04:57I got it.
05:00How did you ever guess there was a dictaphone in here?
05:03Because Rita spoke of my agents watching the post office branches.
05:06And I didn't mention it until after Joyce had left.
05:09Here, open it up. See what type it is.
05:11See what range it has. Anything that will give us a clue.
05:17I know this type well.
05:19It has a range of only four blocks.
05:22There's a lot of buildings within an area of four blocks square.
05:26Wait a minute.
05:27Look, see this little loop?
05:29It's a directional area.
05:32What position did you find this gadget in?
05:37Like that.
05:39It's pointing to the north.
05:41That means whoever was listening to us is within an area four blocks to the north.
05:49This is our district. Let's see what's north of here.
05:52The mid-city park takes up three blocks.
05:54Well, that leaves only one block of buildings to cover.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Those buildings are a department store, a row of small shops.
06:01And on this corner, a theater.
06:03The Oval Asco.
06:05But that's been closed for two years.
06:07And that's exactly where I think we'll find Belmont's headquarters.
06:10Belmont himself in this district?
06:12It'd be just like him.
06:13He's very daring and always does the unexpected.
06:16I'm gonna take a look at that theater.
06:57Someone's tinkering with the piano backstage.
07:02Put her in the closet and I'll get out of sight.
07:17Good night.
07:20Come on.
07:21Come on.
07:23Come on.
07:24Come on.
07:26Come on.
07:32Come back in the door again.
07:34Toss your gun away, Blake.
07:39Miss Kingston's already here.
07:43Before I ring down the curtain on you, Blake,
07:45I would like to know how you found your way here.
07:48By the way, haven't you forgotten Farrell?
07:50I thought you wanted to exchange him for Miss Kingston.
07:54Bring him in, boys.
08:11Let's go.
08:34Let's go!
08:35Let's go!
09:04Let's go!
09:36Let's go!
10:11Let's go!
10:40Let's go!
11:25And when Jim Belmont fired at me, his bullets went through the closet door.
11:29I heard a scream and a fall.
11:32Later, when I opened the door, she was at the door.
11:34She was lying there, dead.
11:37It was tough luck for her.
11:42It would have been worse luck for me if Rita hadn't hidden herself in the closet.
11:46She was standing directly in front of me when Belmont fired through the door.
11:50She got the final payoff from her own boss.
11:54In the final analysis, even Jim Belmont wasn't so smart.
11:57He could easily have been a leader among men if he'd picked an honest profession.
12:01Instead of that, all he gets is a police burial.
12:06This is the entire file on the Jim Belmont and Associates.
12:09Mark it, case closed.
