00:00:00The End
00:00:33The End
00:01:00I am the whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night.
00:01:06I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.
00:01:12Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
00:01:17And tonight, at this lonely spot on a highway near a small town, we find an unusual birthday celebration in
00:01:25full swing.
00:01:26A very merry birthday, a very merry birthday, merrier than ever before.
00:01:35Congratulations, dear Eileen.
00:01:39May you celebrate a hundred more.
00:01:44A hundred more.
00:01:48Oh, that's a lot. It was awful sweet of you to remember me.
00:01:51Now, how could we forget with that guy reminding us every day?
00:01:54Oh, Tommy, you shouldn't have.
00:01:55Why not, Mom? It paid off, didn't it?
00:01:59I really made a haul.
00:02:00How about some more punch, fellas?
00:02:02I don't know. You made this pretty strong.
00:02:04Yeah, let's try it.
00:02:05I'll take some more, Tommy.
00:02:07You can handle it?
00:02:08I sure can.
00:02:09What did you get, Eileen, Steve?
00:02:11You want to know?
00:02:11Yeah, where did you get it? Sure.
00:02:13Let's take a look.
00:02:17An engagement ring.
00:02:18Oh, what a rock. That must have set you back plenty.
00:02:20You're a lucky guy, Steve.
00:02:22You're telling me?
00:02:23I'm a lucky girl.
00:02:24Lucky to win a mug like that?
00:02:26Are you kidding?
00:02:26Well, anyway, we're glad you picked him instead of that motor cop.
00:02:29You said it.
00:02:30Show us what you did, Eileen, when Steve slipped that ring on your finger.
00:02:32Yeah, give us a load of that.
00:02:34Come on, Vin. Don't be bashful. Come on.
00:02:36Come on, Steve.
00:02:37Come on, Steve.
00:02:38Well, you asked for it.
00:02:45Well, so long, honey.
00:02:46I've got to make a delivery on Bayview.
00:02:48I'll be seeing you.
00:02:49Bye, fellas.
00:02:50Good luck.
00:02:52Bye.
00:02:52Good luck.
00:02:54Good luck.
00:02:54Good luck.
00:02:56Good luck.
00:02:56Good luck.
00:02:57Good luck.
00:03:01Good luck.
00:03:04Good luck.
00:03:05Good luck.
00:03:06Good luck.
00:03:06Good luck.
00:03:07Good luck.
00:03:07Good luck.
00:03:08Good luck.
00:03:08Good luck.
00:03:09Good luck.
00:03:09Good luck.
00:03:10Good luck.
00:03:10Good luck.
00:03:11Good luck.
00:03:12Good luck.
00:03:12Good luck.
00:03:16Good luck.
00:03:19Good luck.
00:03:41Going toward Bayview, mister?
00:03:43Yeah, hop in.
00:03:45Thanks.
00:03:50Let's go.
00:04:04Ordinarily, you don't pick up hitchhikers, Steve, but with a warming drink under your belt and the memory of Eileen's
00:04:12kiss on your lips, you're feeling friendly toward everybody.
00:04:16It was only a moment's delay, but those 60 seconds are going to change the whole pattern of your life.
00:04:36Don't drive so fast, Jimmy, please.
00:04:38Fast?
00:04:38Wait till I really open her up.
00:04:39Oh, no, don't.
00:04:40Not on these curves.
00:04:41Relax, relax.
00:04:42I'm the best driver in the state.
00:04:44Look out, Jimmy.
00:04:54Bayview's about seven miles from McCabe's filling station.
00:04:57Where's McCabe's filling station?
00:05:01Well, it's just around the bend, dear.
00:05:08Hello, Don.
00:05:10Hiya, Max.
00:05:11How's Drake's?
00:05:11Everything's under control.
00:05:13I'm ready to call it quits for tonight.
00:05:40I'm ready to call it quits for tonight.
00:05:45No, no accidents.
00:05:52Correction.
00:05:53A truck just plowed into McCabe's gas station.
00:05:55I'll call you back.
00:06:08Nice going, Steve.
00:06:09Oh, hello, Don.
00:06:11Well, how did it happen?
00:06:13I tried to keep from hitting that car.
00:06:15He was coming right at me.
00:06:18What car?
00:06:19Coming around that curve.
00:06:21On my side of the road, too.
00:06:23Are you sure there was a car?
00:06:25Well, if you don't believe it, ask the guy that's riding with me.
00:06:33What guy?
00:06:37Well, some hitchhiker.
00:06:38He was sitting right here beside me when I crashed.
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:42Well, I'm not lying to you.
00:06:44A man was sitting there, and a car forced me off the road.
00:06:47The fellow driving it must have been drunk.
00:06:49Hmm.
00:06:50You're not so steady yourself.
00:06:52Maybe it was you that had one too many.
00:06:54You stopped at Rock Point to help celebrate Eileen's birthday, didn't you?
00:06:58Well, yes.
00:06:58I had one drink.
00:06:59So what?
00:07:00It's against the law for truck drivers to drink on the job, Steve.
00:07:03You know that.
00:07:04If you want to be technical, but I'm as sober as you are.
00:07:07You'll have to convince the judge of that.
00:07:09Maybe he'll believe the rest of your story, too.
00:07:12Are you trying to hang something on me because I beat your time with Eileen?
00:07:15If I wasn't on duty, I'd do something about that crack.
00:07:18Well, if you didn't have on that uniform, I'd help you do it.
00:07:21Stick around till I phone in a report.
00:07:25It's a fine mess.
00:07:26Somebody's going to pay for this.
00:07:39Thanks for the lift.
00:07:40No measure.
00:08:00You sent someone to tow in the truck?
00:08:01Yeah, Bernie.
00:08:03Glad you didn't get hurt in a crash, Steve.
00:08:05But am I in a jam?
00:08:06Look at that.
00:08:10Drunk driving.
00:08:11That's what it says.
00:08:12That cop's been waiting for a chance like this.
00:08:14Why didn't you brain him?
00:08:15Charlie, I'm in enough trouble without socking a cop.
00:08:19At least it's a good thing you're covered by insurance.
00:08:22I don't dare let McCabe file a claim.
00:08:24Why not?
00:08:25If I do, and I'm convicted of drunk driving, they'll cancel my policy.
00:08:29I'm out of the trucking business.
00:08:31What can you do?
00:08:32There's only one thing I can do, and it's to pay off.
00:08:35I guess I can borrow some money on the trucks.
00:08:37But you just got them free and clear.
00:08:39So what?
00:08:40I'll be in the red a little while longer, that's all.
00:08:44It'll be a couple of hours before Bernie gets back.
00:08:46All right, let's grab a cup of coffee.
00:08:47Okay.
00:08:59And since the defendant has been unable to produce a single witness
00:09:02to verify any of his statements,
00:09:04the court has forced to the conclusion
00:09:06that the defendant was in no condition to drive in a safe and sane manner
00:09:10on the night of September 23rd.
00:09:12Stephen Reynolds,
00:09:13your sentence will be six months in the county jail.
00:09:17However, since this is your first offense,
00:09:19and since you've made a satisfactory settlement
00:09:21with the innocent victim,
00:09:24sentence is suspended
00:09:25on the condition that your driver's license
00:09:27be revoked for the period of probation.
00:09:31Next case.
00:09:36Jack Sterling.
00:09:53Justice, sir.
00:09:55You're lucky he didn't send you to jail.
00:09:57He could have, you know.
00:09:58It'll be just as bad sitting around for six months,
00:10:00twiddling my thumbs
00:10:01and paying somebody else to drive for me.
00:10:04Oh, Steve.
00:10:06I hope there are no hard feelings.
00:10:08I only did my duty.
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:10Pleasant duty, wasn't it?
00:10:11Don, I never thought you'd let anything personal
00:10:14influence your testimony.
00:10:15But I didn't, Eileen.
00:10:16Stupid.
00:10:17Every dog has his day.
00:10:18Mine's coming.
00:10:19Is that a threat?
00:10:20Take it any way you want.
00:10:22Come on, dear.
00:10:23Please don't get into any more arguments with it.
00:10:37Gee, Steve.
00:10:38It dips and climbs just like a P-38.
00:10:41I thought you'd have some fun with it.
00:10:42Boy, will I.
00:10:44It will swell of you to get it for me.
00:10:46Yeah, you know.
00:10:48You know, when you grow up,
00:10:49I hope you follow aviation as a profession.
00:10:51I'll sure like that.
00:10:53You're a lot better than being a truck driver like me.
00:11:08Oh, boy, but these sandwiches are good, Mom.
00:11:10Anything tastes good at a picnic.
00:11:11Just the same.
00:11:12I'm glad you fixed these, huh, Steve?
00:11:14They're wonderful.
00:11:15If you like Mom, you like her cooking so well,
00:11:17why don't you marry her?
00:11:19Just eat your lunch, son.
00:11:20Just eat your lunch.
00:11:21Well, you're gonna someday, aren't you?
00:11:22Tommy!
00:11:23You're right, pal.
00:11:24Just as soon as my business is a little better.
00:11:25Well, it seems to me you waste a lot of time.
00:11:29Smart boy.
00:11:34But, well, the vegetables will rot
00:11:35if we don't deliver them tonight.
00:11:38Okay, Bernie, I don't want you to drive if you're sick.
00:11:42Is the truck loaded?
00:11:44Well, drive it over here.
00:11:45Are you well enough to do that?
00:11:48Okay, Bernie.
00:11:49Fine, goodbye.
00:11:49Fine, more bad luck.
00:11:51Bernie's sick.
00:11:53Well, maybe you can get Thompson.
00:11:57Hey, that's an idea.
00:12:00And follow him.
00:12:16Well, that won't do me any good.
00:12:19Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
00:12:20Drivers are hard to get on short notice.
00:12:23Yeah, goodbye.
00:12:25Hiya, Steve.
00:12:25Hello, Jerry.
00:12:27Sorry to hear about that raw deal Parker gave you.
00:12:30Oh, not too sorry, I imagine.
00:12:31Don't be like that, Steve.
00:12:33What if we are competitors?
00:12:34We can still be friends, can't we?
00:12:36If you want it that way.
00:12:37If I want it that way.
00:12:39Look, fella, I had all the trucking business
00:12:41until you came along and started cutting rates.
00:12:43Well, you were overcharging your customers.
00:12:45So what?
00:12:46Nobody squawked, but you stuck your nose in.
00:12:48Oh, now let's not go all over that again.
00:12:51I got to get a load rolling.
00:12:52All right, I'll make it brief.
00:12:54I'd still like to buy you out.
00:12:56The answer is still no.
00:12:57Don't say no till you hear my proposition.
00:13:00I'll give you part of the business,
00:13:02employment for you and Charlie,
00:13:03and I'll assume the mortgages you got to place on your trucks.
00:13:06I don't believe in Santa Claus.
00:13:08Nothing to earn.
00:13:09Why?
00:13:11You must think I'm stupid.
00:13:13My interstate holds are going to bring me in
00:13:14a lot of money in a few years.
00:13:16Yeah, if you last that long.
00:13:19Meaning what?
00:13:20I've got a strange philosophy of my own, Steve.
00:13:23I always try to get what I want in a nice way.
00:13:27First.
00:13:28Well, I'm glad we understand each other.
00:13:30So long, Steve.
00:13:31So long.
00:13:56Well, if you can't, you can't.
00:13:59Good-bye.
00:14:06Believe me, Steve, I wouldn't let you down if I wasn't sick as a dog.
00:14:08I know that, Bernie.
00:14:10Go on home and get a doctor.
00:14:12Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
00:14:13But I'll be back as soon as I can make it.
00:14:15Fine, Bernie.
00:14:17It's too bad I never learned to drive one of those battleships.
00:14:20Who can you get?
00:14:22Myself, that's all.
00:14:23Don't do it, Steve.
00:14:24If you're caught driving now, they'll throw the book at you.
00:14:26Well, what am I going to do?
00:14:28That load spoils or lose their account.
00:14:31I can't afford that.
00:14:32I'm a darn Parker spot you.
00:14:34You're out of the trucking process.
00:14:34Oh, he won't.
00:14:35I'll wait until it's dark.
00:14:36I'll stay off Highway 32.
00:14:38Check the truck for me, will you?
00:14:39I want to grab a bite to eat.
00:15:07I want to grab a bite.
00:15:37I want to grab a bite.
00:15:44Let's go.
00:16:16Let's go.

00:23:21Let's go.
00:23:22Let's go.
00:23:23Let's go.
00:23:31What's the matter?
00:23:34Just looking for someone.
00:23:38Take it easy.
00:24:03Take it easy.
00:24:38Nice, Nick.
00:24:40Say hello to Jeremy Mason.
00:24:41Hello, Stark.
00:24:42Hi.
00:24:44What do you have?
00:24:46Two beers.
00:24:47Right.
00:24:50Two beers.
00:24:59Here you are, sir.
00:25:02Corner, please.
00:25:03All right, I'll take care of you.
00:25:14Here we are.
00:25:19What's it going to be, mister?
00:25:22What are you going to have?
00:25:25What are you going to have?
00:25:27I'll have to talk right around.
00:25:28I'm a little hard to hear him.
00:25:29I said, what are you going to have?
00:25:32Dugan's special.
00:25:34Dugan's special!
00:25:37It's easy dough, Stark.
00:25:38When you get the cars, all you have to do is drive them over to Bayview.
00:25:42Isn't that the place where the cop was knocked off?
00:25:45Yeah, but don't let that worry you.
00:25:46That's been taken care of.
00:25:48Don't sound good to me.
00:25:50But hot cars are poisoned right now.
00:25:52Well, there's no risk to this.
00:25:53We've been operating for six months.
00:25:55You deliver the cars to Jerry's garage and collect.
00:26:01Here we are.
00:26:09Salt.
00:26:11Pepper.
00:26:13Holler if you want a refill, mister.
00:26:36And so a fugitive slinks back under the cover of darkness,
00:26:41clinging to the slim hope
00:26:43that an old glove and a man with a missing thumb
00:26:46will help improve his innocence.
00:27:04Tommy.
00:27:06It's Steve.
00:27:12Steve.
00:27:13Gee, I'm glad to see you.
00:27:15Pull down the shades.
00:27:17Oh, sure.
00:27:28I knew you'd come back.
00:27:30I had to see you and your mom.
00:27:33How is she?
00:27:34She's swell, only...
00:27:36Only what?
00:27:38Well, I...
00:27:40Tell me, I didn't kill Dawn.
00:27:43I knew you didn't.
00:27:44But, jeez, Steve, you know how women are.
00:27:47They just don't understand things.
00:27:49Ask me, come here, will you?
00:27:51Do you really think I should?
00:27:52It's okay.
00:27:53It's okay.
00:27:58It's okay.
00:27:59Come on.
00:28:04Steve's out there.
00:28:07You stay here and help Mabel.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:09This goes to the man on the end.
00:28:12I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:22Hello, Eileen.
00:28:24Steve, why did you come back here?
00:28:25I won't see you.
00:28:27I even hope that maybe you won't see me, too.
00:28:32I had the foolish notion that you wouldn't believe that I could kill anyone.
00:28:36Why did you run away?
00:28:37Panic, maybe.
00:28:39Maybe I couldn't forget how completely that judge believed my story the last time.
00:28:44Oh, Steve.
00:28:45Everybody's saying you were driving that truck.
00:28:47I knew.
00:28:48Do you believe it?
00:28:50I didn't hear from you.
00:28:52I didn't know what to believe.
00:28:54Why do you think I came back here?
00:28:56For the pleasure of getting myself hung?
00:29:01Do you want to tell me about it?
00:29:03Of course I do.
00:29:06Listen, honey.
00:29:09I'm not guilty.
00:29:10I didn't kill him.
00:29:16Watch the griddle, will you, Tommy, while I get some more burgers?
00:29:18Sure.
00:29:32It all happened so fast that I didn't get a good look at him.
00:29:34But didn't you try to stop him?
00:29:36Of course I did.
00:29:37That's how I got the glove.
00:29:38It's a pretty thin story, all right.
00:29:40I don't blame you for thinking nobody would believe you.
00:29:43Well, that's what I'm up against.
00:29:44Will you help me?
00:29:46Of course I will, but how?
00:29:48I want you to keep your eyes open for a man with a missing thumb.
00:29:51What?
00:29:52Yes, a man with his right thumb missing.
00:29:55Look at that.
00:29:57Hey, Mabel!
00:30:03Hurry up, Mabel!
00:30:05We've got some new customers!
00:30:16Take care of it, Eileen.
00:30:17It's my life insurance.
00:30:26I wish you could stay here.
00:30:28If someone would be sure to see you.
00:30:30No, I wouldn't think of it.
00:30:32It's awfully kind, but...
00:30:34Where can you go?
00:30:36Oh, Charlie's.
00:30:39Charlie would be glad to put me up.
00:30:42Darling, be careful.
00:30:44I will.
00:30:55I will.
00:30:56Is Mr. Mason in?
00:30:57Yes.
00:30:58Just tell him it's Charlie.
00:31:01Yeah.
00:31:01There's a Charlie here to see you.
00:31:03Sunday, ma'am.
00:31:03Thanks.
00:31:07Hello, Charlie.
00:31:08Glad to see you.
00:31:11What's on your mind?
00:31:12Well, Steve's business is folded up, so I'm looking for a job.
00:31:17Sorry, Charlie.
00:31:18I've got all the mechanics I need.
00:31:19Mr. Mason, I wish you could use me.
00:31:21It's tough finding work, and I'd do anything.
00:31:23I could use a night attendant.
00:31:25That'd be swell.
00:31:27All right.
00:31:27And if any small repair jobs come in, you can take care of them and get paid extra.
00:31:31That suits me fine.
00:31:32Okay, start tonight at $30 a week.
00:31:35Thanks.
00:31:38Heard anything from Steve?
00:31:40No, I guess he's gone for good.
00:32:01Where shall I put this heap?
00:32:02I want to store it.
00:32:03Just leave it here.
00:32:04I'll park it for you.
00:32:07You can make your arrangements in the office.
00:32:10Okay, bud.
00:32:27Come in, Stack.
00:32:29Yeah, all right, all right.
00:32:31Be sure and call me back.
00:32:32Now.
00:32:34Did you bring something for me?
00:32:36Yeah, a convertible.
00:32:38Good.
00:32:38Have any trouble?
00:32:40Not a bit.
00:32:40I told you you wouldn't.
00:33:02There you are.
00:33:03Any more coming tonight?
00:33:04All right, there's three on the way.
00:33:17Park this crate for me, will you?
00:33:19Sure.
00:33:31Say, uh, can you spare a cigarette?
00:33:33I'd be glad to.
00:33:36My hands are pretty dirty.
00:33:37You better take one out for me.
00:33:39All right.
00:33:42There.
00:33:43Thanks.
00:33:44Now, do you mind giving me a light?
00:33:46Not at all.
00:33:49Well, will you smoke it for you, too?
00:33:54Anything else I can do?
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:56You can go in the office and get your parking check.
00:33:59That's a good idea.
00:34:01Yeah.
00:34:06Well, you're left.
00:34:14Gets, you please.
00:34:23Come on.
00:34:30We're going to take you.
00:34:33Steve?
00:34:34Steve, are you...
00:34:36Hey, you're right about Jerry.
00:34:37They brought in four stolen cars tonight to have him doctored up.
00:34:40And what do you think?
00:34:41One of the drivers has no thumb on his right hand.
00:34:43What a break. Is he still there?
00:34:45Yeah, and he will be for about another hour.
00:34:47Then he and a couple other guys are going to drive some remodel jobs across the border.
00:34:51Swell. I'll phone the cops.
00:34:53Don't you think it'd be smarter to grab the guy first?
00:34:57Well, maybe you're right.
00:34:58And besides, if we're going to nail him, we ought to have the glove for evidence.
00:35:02Okay, I'll get it.
00:35:03Meet you in the alley back of the garage.
00:35:08Okay.
00:35:10I'll be waiting for you.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:25Tommy told me you'd phoned. I've been on pins and needles ever since.
00:35:27I couldn't explain to him.
00:35:29But Charlie's found the man. I've got to have the glove.
00:35:31Who is he?
00:35:32He's one of Jerry's gang. Down at the garage now.
00:35:35Oh, I hope you're right.
00:35:36I've got to hurry, dear.
00:35:42Hide some place quick, Steve.
00:35:44Captain Linfield and some detectives just came in.
00:35:47Steve, not that way.
00:36:02In there.
00:36:04Thanks.
00:36:10Well, Captain Linfield.
00:36:12Sorry to intrude this way, Mrs. Blair,
00:36:14but we got a tip that Steve Reynolds was back in town.
00:36:16We figured he might come here.
00:36:17You don't think he'd be that foolish, do you?
00:36:19Man, of love.
00:36:20There's a lot of foolish things, Mrs. Blair.
00:36:22Do you mind if we look around?
00:36:23Not at all.
00:36:24You wouldn't be satisfied if you didn't.
00:36:51Nobody out there, Captain.
00:36:54See where that door leads to.
00:36:59That's Mom's in my bedroom.
00:37:01We don't like anybody going in there.
00:37:03We'll just take a quick look, Sonny.
00:37:40Nobody in there.
00:37:43Good night, Mrs. Blair.
00:37:44Thanks for your cooperation.
00:37:46Good night.
00:37:49Good night.
00:37:50Good night.
00:37:56Oh, boy.
00:37:58Now, give me the lowdown.
00:38:00Someone must have tipped him when he beat it through a bedroom window.
00:38:02One of the screens was unhooked.
00:38:04I thought so.
00:38:06Well, he won't be back here tonight,
00:38:07but we've got to watch this place from now on.
00:38:24He'd be quiet.
00:38:24He's going to get back here tonight,
00:38:30And at the time,
00:38:32he's going to be back.
00:38:34Well, he's going to be back there.
00:38:34He's going to be a little bit.
00:38:35He's going to be back there.
00:38:36He's going to be back there.
00:38:40Charlie.
00:38:44Charlie.
00:38:46Charlie.
00:39:11Charlie.
00:39:36Charlie.
00:40:06Charlie.
00:40:46Oh, my God.
00:41:18Oh, my God.
00:41:52Oh, my God.
00:42:16Oh, my God.
00:42:21How did I get in there?
00:42:24I don't know.
00:42:25I guess it's the same guy that let me have it.
00:42:28Where?
00:42:29In Jerry's office.
00:42:30I was in there looking for you.
00:42:32I remember now.
00:42:33I was waiting in the alley for you when I got crowned.
00:42:36The four-fingered guy must have got wise to you.
00:42:39Maybe.
00:42:39But it could be true that Jerry caught me snooping around.
00:42:42It wasn't Jerry.
00:42:43I guarantee you, Jerry's dead.
00:42:46Safe's been robbed.
00:42:48Jerry's dead?
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:51Looks like we missed the boat.
00:42:53The glove won't do us any good now.
00:42:55Well, I didn't get it anyway.
00:42:56Some cops almost snapped me.
00:42:58They'd probably been better off if they had.
00:43:00Forget it, will you?
00:43:01Go on home.
00:43:02I'll call the cops.
00:43:03They're sure to grab the guy before he can drive across the board.
00:43:05Oh, it's no use.
00:43:06He's too smart.
00:43:08My best bet's to give himself up.
00:43:10Don't be a chump.
00:43:11If you do, you're really finished.
00:43:12Well, I can't go on like this.
00:43:19Clear out of here, Steve, or they'll pin this murder on you, too.
00:43:21What do you think I've been talking about?
00:43:23Come on, get out of here, will you?
00:43:51Tommy.
00:43:54Tommy.
00:43:55Tommy.
00:44:06Unhook the screen.
00:44:07Okay.
00:44:18I'll get Mom.
00:44:29Mabel, will you tell Mom I need her a minute?
00:44:31Sure, Tommy.
00:44:32Thanks.
00:44:40Tommy wants you Mrs. Blaine.
00:44:42Probably hungry again.
00:44:51What do you want this time, another ice cream coat?
00:44:53Heck no.
00:44:54Steve's here.
00:44:57You're taking an awful chance coming back here.
00:44:59Have you been to the garage?
00:45:01I got there too late.
00:45:02The guy had gone.
00:45:03He killed Jerry and robbed his safe.
00:45:05But where was Charlie?
00:45:06He got it too.
00:45:08They slugged him and threw him in a car.
00:45:09He would stick his neck out for me.
00:45:12I'm in an awful jam, Eileen.
00:45:16I'd be better off if I give myself up before they blame this one on me too.
00:45:20Do you really mean that, Steve?
00:45:22Give me the glove.
00:45:23I'll need it when I tell my story to the police.
00:45:26Are you sure that's why you want it?
00:45:28Of course.
00:45:29Why else?
00:45:30I told you Steve didn't know about it, Mom.
00:45:32Know about what?
00:45:34I'll show you.
00:45:58They're the real thing.
00:46:01Why am I stupid?
00:46:02I've been looking for a man with a missing thumb.
00:46:05I guess you're just not as curious as I am.
00:46:07Well, these things are worth a fortune.
00:46:10I wonder...
00:46:11What?
00:46:12I wonder if they have anything to do with the police coming up here.
00:46:15Well, it's impossible.
00:46:15Nobody knew about them but Tommy and me.
00:46:37Tommy.
00:46:37Tommy, what's got into you?
00:46:41Mabel's been spying on us.
00:46:42I caught her listening out the door yesterday.
00:46:44Now she's calling somebody on the phone.
00:46:46Do you think she's working with the police?
00:46:48Well, maybe.
00:46:49But my guess is that she's in with the guy that killed Jerry and Don.
00:46:53How long has she been working for you?
00:46:55Well, I hired her about a week after you left town.
00:46:58Well, at that time the cops weren't looking for me around here.
00:47:01She must be in with the guy that's after that glove.
00:47:05She got a job here so she could tip him off if I showed up.
00:47:21Well, let's go.
00:47:21My brother just called Mrs. Blair.
00:47:23He isn't feeling very well.
00:47:24I wonder if I could get off now?
00:47:26Of course, Mabel.
00:47:27I'll be out in a minute or two.
00:47:28Thanks a lot.
00:47:33She's lying, Mom.
00:47:36Nobody called her.
00:47:37I saw her dial a number.
00:47:40Well, that proves it.
00:47:41May I borrow your car?
00:47:42What are you going to do?
00:47:43I want to follow her.
00:47:45I've got a hunch she's going to meet her boyfriend and give him the lowdown.
00:47:47What if they see you?
00:47:49Why not let the police handle it?
00:47:50Well, there's no time.
00:47:51They might get away.
00:47:53Get my keys, Tommy.
00:47:54They're on the dresser.
00:47:55Here.
00:47:55I want you to put these diamonds away.
00:47:57Put them in the glove exactly as you found them.
00:48:00I want to show them to the police.
00:48:02If Mabel knows about them, it won't be safe to keep them here.
00:48:06I guess I'd better take them with me.
00:48:08Here.
00:48:09Here.
00:48:10I'll put them in here.
00:48:13Gee.
00:48:14That's pretty smart.
00:48:16You keep the glove until I need it.
00:48:18All right.
00:48:20Good luck, Steve.
00:48:21Thanks, pal.
00:48:23Bye.
00:48:34Bye.
00:48:34Don't worry, Mom.
00:48:35Steve knows how to take care of himself.
00:48:38Go to bed, Tommy.
00:48:39It's way past your time.
00:48:48I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mabel.
00:48:50Oh, that's quite all right, Mrs. Blair.
00:48:52Good night.
00:48:53Good night.
00:49:06Goodbye.
00:49:08What's up?
00:49:09Goodbye.
00:49:13Goodbye.
00:49:19Goodbye.
00:49:22Let's go.
00:49:53Let's go.
00:50:32How'd you make out of the garage?
00:50:36How much did you get?
00:50:38Oh, that's great.
00:50:39Now we don't have to worry about the diamonds.
00:50:44Are you crazy, sweet?
00:50:45Let's get out of town while the getting's good.
00:50:47All right.
00:50:48How soon will you be old?
00:50:50Well, you'd better make it half an hour.
00:50:52That'll give me time to pack.
00:50:53Let's go.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:50:56Let's go.
00:51:03Let's go.
00:51:13Let's go.
00:51:19Let's go.
00:51:22Let's go.
00:51:27Let's go.
00:51:29Let's go.
00:51:58Let's go.
00:51:59How will we do it?
00:52:00Remember, this guy's a killer.
00:52:02Well, that's why I need your help.
00:52:03We'll wait outside her place in the hall, and when they come out, we'll jump.
00:52:07Let's go.
00:52:08Let's go.
00:52:09Let's go.
00:52:13Let's go.
00:52:25Let's go.
00:52:26Bye-bye.
00:52:40Come on.
00:52:43I said put them up.
00:52:48Well, Charlie, I... I don't understand.
00:52:52You're kidding.
00:52:54Don't be down.
00:52:57You mean you were the one who...
00:52:58Yeah. I knocked off the motor cop.
00:53:01But why? What had it done done to you?
00:53:03He knew I pulled a job back east and broke out of the pen.
00:53:07I was paying him to lay off, but he got too greedy, so I...
00:53:09I had to get rid of him. For good.
00:53:12Well, why free me?
00:53:14You gave me the idea yourself.
00:53:16And he insisted on driving the truck that night.
00:53:18All right, hand it over.
00:53:20And what over?
00:53:21As if you didn't know.
00:53:23Give me that glove.
00:53:24I haven't got it.
00:53:40So it's still at Eileen's.
00:53:43Seems to me as though you're making an awful fuss over an old glove.
00:53:46I don't try to make me believe you don't know what's in it.
00:53:49No, I don't.
00:53:51Sit down, Steve.
00:53:59You stay here with him.
00:54:01Tries to get away, let him have it.
00:54:03Where are you going?
00:54:04Over to Eileen's.
00:54:05Don't take that chance, sweet.
00:54:06Jerry's door will keep us for a while.
00:54:07Forget the diamonds.
00:54:09Diamonds?
00:54:09Sure, if you didn't really know.
00:54:12Wait a minute, Mabel.
00:54:13Here's a way to get him back without me sticking out my neck.
00:54:25Now write what I tell you.
00:54:28Honey.
00:54:30That's what you call her, isn't it?
00:54:33Honey.
00:54:36Charlie and I walked into a trap.
00:54:43They're holding me while he brings you this message.
00:54:58If you want to see me alive,
00:55:04do exactly as I say.
00:55:10Give Charlie the glove
00:55:14and don't call the police.
00:55:21Now sign your name.
00:55:51Who told you to write anything about the diamonds?
00:55:54Nobody.
00:55:55But if you ask her to trade an old glove for my life,
00:55:57she'll think you're crazy.
00:55:59He's right, Charlie.
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:01Yeah, I guess he is.
00:56:03You better find something to tie him up with.
00:56:09Now I'll borrow Eileen's card.
00:56:11It'll make everything look Jake.
00:56:25You've got a customer, Eileen.
00:56:27Be right out.
00:56:42Good morning.
00:56:44A cup of coffee.
00:57:01Good morning.
00:57:01Thanks, boys. Come back again.
00:57:03Sure. I'll be seeing you.
00:57:09What's wrong, Charlie?
00:57:11Steve sent me.
00:57:12He's in trouble.
00:57:21There's some cops hanging around?
00:57:23There were just a while ago.
00:57:49What's happened to him?
00:57:49I think this will explain it better than I can.
00:58:00And Steve and I didn't have sense enough to take that glove apart.
00:58:03Yeah.
00:58:03And we all thought the guy actually had a thumb missing.
00:58:10Hello, Charlie.
00:58:11What are you doing here?
00:58:12Steve's in more trouble, dear.
00:58:13Charlie just brought me a note from him.
00:58:18Let me see it, Mom.
00:58:27But, Mom, he says here that...
00:58:34Well... that...
00:58:37Go ahead. What were you going to say?
00:58:39Steve says not to call the police.
00:58:42But how do we know they'll let him go after we've given the diamonds?
00:58:45Yes. How do we know that?
00:58:47They don't care a hoot about Steve. They only want the diamonds.
00:58:50I hope you're right.
00:58:51Well, we'd better do just as Steve says.
00:58:54But I'm going with you.
00:58:55Well...
00:58:56Okay, but hurry up.
00:58:57If those guys think I called the cops, Steve's a dead pigeon.
00:59:08You're a smart kid, Tommy.
00:59:10I guess I'd take after my mom.
00:59:15How are we going to get there?
00:59:16I got your car.
00:59:17Steve told me to use it.
00:59:20Good night, Tommy.
00:59:22You'll have to take care of everything while I'm away.
00:59:24Don't worry, Mom.
00:59:25I'll take care of everything.
00:59:26You got the glove?
00:59:28Right here.
00:59:29So long, Tommy. See you later.
00:59:31So long.
00:59:35Come on, Tommy.
00:59:38Come on.
00:59:47Come on.
01:00:20Come on.
01:00:23Charlie?
01:00:23Yeah, it's me.
01:00:32What did you bring her for?
01:00:34She just wanted to make sure this stuff got into the right hands.
01:00:37You shouldn't have come here, honey.
01:00:39It's all right, Steve.
01:00:40He didn't fool me for a minute.
01:00:43Smart girl.
01:00:45Now let's have that glove.
01:01:04So you didn't know a thing about the diamonds.
01:01:10What did you do with them?
01:01:14What did you do with them?
01:01:17He doesn't know where they are.
01:01:19I've hidden them and you'll never find them.
01:01:21I think I will.
01:01:25Stop it.
01:01:25I'll tell you where they are.
01:01:28They're in my tobacco pouch on the table.
01:01:42Gee, am I glad to see those little beauties again.
01:01:46Are... are they all there?
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:49This isn't a bad way to carry them.
01:01:51Thanks for the tobacco pouch.
01:01:53Let's beat it, sweet. I'm getting nervous.
01:01:55Okay.
01:01:56Take her and lock her in the bedroom closet.
01:01:59You heard what the man said.
01:02:01Well, let's be nice.
01:02:02And gag her so she'll be quiet.
01:02:13You've been a nice pigeon, Steve.
01:02:15Sorry I have to do this.
01:02:24Are you ready, Mabel?
01:02:25Be right with you.
01:02:27Be right with you.
01:02:40That one looks like it. I'll check the number.
01:03:03Just a minute.
01:03:16Charlie.
01:03:18Charlie.
01:03:23No.
01:03:24No.
01:03:28Where's Reynolds and Mrs. Blair?
01:03:30They're upstairs.
01:03:32Take care of him.
01:03:36Come on. You can get up.
01:03:40You can go.
01:03:43This is your lucky day, Reynolds.
01:03:44Mabel's turn states evidence.
01:03:46Her story clears you of the murder of Don Parker.
01:03:48Did she tell you about Jerry Mason?
01:03:50Yeah, she told us he killed him too.
01:03:53We're rounding up the rest of the Mason gang now.
01:03:57Well, Charlie couldn't resist the money in that safe.
01:04:00I still don't understand the connection between him and Don Parker.
01:04:03Parker had been a policeman back east.
01:04:05It was through him that Charlie was arrested and sent up for the Worthing diamond robbery.
01:04:08But the gems were never recovered.
01:04:10I remember reading about that case.
01:04:12It was about four years ago.
01:04:13That's right.
01:04:15After Parker joined the force out here, he accidentally ran into Charlie.
01:04:18He figured that he still had the diamond stashed away.
01:04:21And he started blackmailing him.
01:04:23Exactly.
01:04:24It cost him his life.
01:04:26It's unfortunate.
01:04:27But of the thousands of men who enforce the law,
01:04:30occasionally one turns crooked.
01:04:33Well, Captain, I sure want to thank you.
01:04:35Don't thank me. Thank that boy.
01:04:36He gave us the license number of his mother's car.
01:04:39Lucky to you we spotted it so quickly.
01:04:41I told you I'd take care of everything, Mom.
01:04:43I knew I could depend on you, Tommy.
01:04:45You know, Reynolds, there's a big reward for the recovery of those diamonds.
01:04:49There is?
01:04:49Yes, and you're gonna get it.
01:04:51And you're entitled to it after what you've been through.
01:04:54Steve, that's wonderful.
01:04:55It'll put you back in the trucking business.
01:04:57Put you out of the lynchroom business.
01:05:04Yes, Steve, you were lucky.
01:05:06Stopping for just 60 seconds to give a stranger a lift
01:05:09did change the whole pattern of your life.
01:05:12It might have ended in disgrace or even death,
01:05:14but fate was kind to you.
01:05:18It might have been through.
01:05:22It might have been tongue-inhaba.
01:05:26We were Mohamed.
01:05:28I think you saw it were handy when you got caught up.
01:05:34But where did you peace from between you?
01:05:42You
