00:46Come on, step on it, chaps. We're an hour late for our deliveries now.
00:49Oh, have a heart, Mr. Cuban. Look at that speed meal.
00:52What are you worrying about?
00:54About going to my own fuel.
01:05What did I tell you? Here come the cops.
01:07Now, listen. You keep quiet. I'll get out of this.
01:10You wouldn't be in it if you would go where the flowers was going
01:12instead of stopping where they ain't going.
01:25What do you think this is, a racetrack?
01:28No, it's a...
01:29What's your name and where's your driver's license?
01:33My name is Jefferson Thomas H.
01:37Here's my license.
01:42Uh, may I see this, officer?
01:48Terrible. Absolutely terrible.
01:51What do you mean, terrible?
01:52Well, uh, your handwriting.
01:54My handwriting? Why are you...
01:55Oh, now, wait. You don't understand.
01:57It's the way you cross your T.
01:59You see, very high and that half open O
02:01and that little thing you put on the end of the W.
02:03Hey, what are you trying to pull?
02:05Oh, well, nothing. Only, you never should have been a cop in the first place.
02:08Who are you?
02:09According to your handwriting, you have what is known as, uh,
02:12well, great artistic ability.
02:14I have what?
02:15Artistic ability.
02:16You see, you should have been a, well, a writer or a painter or a singer even.
02:23No kidding.
02:24Yeah.
02:25A writer, huh?
02:26A singer?
02:28Or a painter?
02:29Or a painter?
02:33How do you know?
02:35Look, here's the book I'm studying.
02:37Graphology and the Six Easy Lessons.
02:39Why, I've been studying for so long,
02:40what I can...
02:41a man I've never seen before.
02:43You can?
02:44Yeah, wait a minute. I'll show you.
02:46Here.
02:47Read that.
02:51To Susie.
02:52And...
02:53John Henderson.
02:54What about it?
02:55Well, when you see this Henderson,
02:57he mailed his order in.
02:58And he enclosed the cards to be set to miscarry with the flowers every day.
03:02So I studied his handwriting and...
03:04Bingo.
03:04Right away, I knew she couldn't marry.
03:06Why not?
03:07Well, look at that arm.
03:09You see that, see that little thing right there?
03:11Mm-hmm.
03:11Well, it's just like a woman's.
03:13She's a...
03:13Oh, that's correct.
03:15Say, uh, can I borrow that book on graph, uh...
03:18William, let me borrow a shop, will you?
03:19Oh, sure.
03:21So long, boys.
03:22So long, officer.
03:29Wait right here.
03:30There's a fire plug there.
03:31Suppose the police come along.
03:32But you always say, I'll only be a minute.
03:36Mm-hmm.
03:38Ain't that a shame?
03:50Oh, hello, Jimmy.
03:50Come on in.
03:51Thank you, Miss Carrie.
03:55Oh, they're lovely, aren't they?
03:58Yeah, I guess so.
04:00What's the matter, Jimmy?
04:03Look, are you going to marry this, Henderson?
04:06Why, I don't know.
04:08Why do you ask?
04:10No, I hate to tell you this.
04:12But you might as well know now as later.
04:14Oh, my goodness, this sounds serious.
04:16It is.
04:16You can't marry him.
04:18Why?
04:19Because I'm a graphologist,
04:20and I've analyzed his handwriting,
04:21and, well, he's a weakling.
04:23Are you sure?
04:24Absolutely.
04:25My analysis is never wrong.
04:27Why, Henderson's handwriting is,
04:28well, it's womanish.
04:30Look, let me explain.
04:35My handwriting is turned.
04:37What, sir?
04:38Well, you shouldn't have been a cop
04:39on account of the graph.
04:40Are you accusing me of taking graft?
04:43Uh, no, sir.
04:44I was just trying to tell you
04:45that you could make more money
04:46on other jobs.
04:48Another word out of you,
04:49and I'll drag you out of this car.
04:50Yes, sir.
04:56Oh, my goodness.
04:59Oh, me.
05:00Oh, my goodness.
05:02You see, Miss Carrie,
05:04it's all done by science.
05:05But, Jimmy, what I don't...
05:06Uh-uh.
05:07Why don't you argue with me?
05:08Because I like you.
05:09And I don't want to see
05:10a nice girl like you
05:11make a...
05:12make a serious mistake.
05:18Well, how do you do,
05:19Mr. Henderson?
05:19Oh, now, Jimmy, I...
05:20Uh-uh.
05:21Don't you try to kid me.
05:22That's your hand...
05:23Well, so is that.
05:25You're not going to give me away.
05:27Of course not.
05:28What I can't figure out is
05:30what's a pretty girl like you doing
05:31sending flowers to yourself?
05:33Well, I got sick and tired
05:35of hearing my roommate
05:36crow about her boyfriend
05:37sending her flowers,
05:38so I...
05:39Oh, I...
05:40Yeah, it's all right, too.
05:42It doesn't matter now.
05:45I can't afford
05:45John Henderson anymore.
05:47I lost my job.
05:48So I noticed.
05:50And I decided
05:51to take care of that.
05:52How?
05:54Well, I...
05:54I don't know myself yet.
05:56But don't you worry.
05:57You just keep your chin up
05:58and let O'Brien do the work.
05:59And say, I, uh...
06:01might even fix it
06:01so I can get your boyfriend, too.
06:36Is this what you call
06:37going to the grocery store?
06:38Oh, I'm sorry, Ma.
06:40I just stopped for a minute
06:41to do some analyzing.
06:42I'm looking for a boyfriend
06:43for Susie.
06:43Is that so?
06:45Susie.
06:46And who in the name
06:47of all the saints
06:47is Susie?
06:48Oh, you don't know her, Ma.
06:50She's an awfully sweet girl.
06:51She's a good friend of mine.
06:52Well, I'm sorry for her.
06:53The last time
06:54you tried to play Cupid,
06:56three people
06:57went to the hospital.
06:58Yeah, but that wasn't my fault.
06:59The book said that...
07:00Well, now you get out of here
07:01and analyze this grocery list
07:03for a change.
07:05Yes, ma'am.
07:10Ma, this is terrible.
07:12What's terrible?
07:13Well, according to your handwriting,
07:15you should have been a murderer.
07:16A murderer?
07:18For I'll murder you
07:19if you dare talk like that
07:20to your mother.
07:21But it's not me, Ma.
07:22It's just what graphology says.
07:23Don't you see that...
07:24Oh, you, you, you!
07:27You're slipping, Ma.
07:28Your aim's not as good
07:29as it used to be.
07:30I think mine's better.
07:31Catch that.
07:32Now, you remember this.
07:33You left that Susie alone.
07:35Heaven help her
07:36if you try and get her
07:37a boyfriend
07:38by your analyzing.
07:52Thank you, sir.
07:54Thank you, sir.
08:04We have a rush delivery this morning.
08:10And what is that you're hiding behind you?
08:12Oh, this?
08:14Well, it's just some odds and ends.
08:17Stuff that we don't need. I was taking it to a friend of mine.
08:20Don't ever let me catch you taking flowers in this place again.
08:23Now take this to Miss Phyllis Benton.
08:25And remember, it's a rush order.
08:26And when I say rush, I mean rush.
08:29Yes, sir.
08:30And remember what I said about taking flowers.
08:32Oh, I'm sorry about that, Mr. Lester.
08:34Now that I know you don't want me to, it won't happen again, sir.
09:01Flowers from Miss Benton.
09:06Take that box right back where it came from.
09:08And you can tell him from me I don't want his flowers or him or anything connected with him.
09:12Yeah, but listen, I...
09:16Hey, Jefferson. I got a boyfriend for Susie.
09:20Look, this Benton gal is through with her fella.
09:23And Susie needs a boyfriend.
09:24So now all I have to do is bring them together.
09:26Well, supporting Miss Susie don't like him.
09:29Well, she's got to like him.
09:31He's got a lot of money and he's a good spender.
09:33And, well, he's a regular he-man.
09:35Yeah, and he's got brains, too.
09:38Gosh.
09:38I can hardly wait to introduce him.
09:40I'll bet.
09:41Come on, let's go, Jefferson.
09:48Oh, say, Mr. Lester, do you know where Bill Jones lives?
09:51The one that sends flowers to Phyllis Benton?
09:53No, he's the catch customer.
09:55But what do you want to know for?
09:56Well, Miss Benton gave me a message for him.
09:58She did?
09:59What was the missing?
10:00Well, she said that she didn't want his flowers, him,
10:03or anything he was connected with.
10:05So I thought if you knew where he lived, like Jefferson and I could-
10:07But I don't.
10:08And besides, we don't give messages like that to our customers.
10:11Well, I know, Mr. Lester, you see, but-
10:13Get on with your next delivery, Jimmy.
10:15Yes, sir.
10:16And Jimmy.
10:17Yes, sir.
10:18Don't stop to do anything else but deliver flowers.
10:21Who, me?
10:22Oh, I wouldn't do that, Mr. Lester.
10:39Lester talking.
10:41Phyllis Benton wouldn't accept the flowers.
10:44She said she didn't want his flowers or him or anything connected with him.
10:49And that delivery boy wants very much to find Bill Jones.
10:53No.
10:54Don't worry.
10:56I stopped him on that.
10:58Here.
11:02Where is he?
11:03Where is he?
11:04Where to?
11:05The man that's going to fall in love with Miss Susie.
11:08Oh, well, I don't know yet.
11:10But I do know one thing.
11:11His name is Bill Jones.
11:12That's a big help.
11:14Well, now, listen.
11:15Don't you worry about it.
11:16Just leave it to me.
11:17I'll do the worry.
11:18Uh-huh.
11:20But, Mr. Cupid, if you go through that book looking all through them Joneses,
11:23we're going to be late.
11:24And we're going to get another traffic ticket in.
11:26Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
11:27Don't you want to get a boyfriend for a nice girl like Susie?
11:30Yeah.
11:30And I want to keep a job for a nice boy like Jefferson.
11:34Oh, now, quit complaining.
11:35There's nothing to it.
11:36All we have to do is check up on these Joneses and see which one sent the flowers to Phyllis
11:40Benton.
11:40That's all.
11:41Is that all?
11:43That's enough.
11:47Say, what's the idea of accusing my husband of sending flowers to another woman?
11:51The shop didn't have anything to do with it.
11:53What?
11:56Hello?
11:56No, no.
11:57We don't know anything about it.
11:58We didn't send them.
11:59Sure it was your delivery boy.
12:01And now my wife is leaving me because she said I sent flowers to Phyllis Benton.
12:05No, sir.
12:14No, we don't know anything about it.
12:15We didn't send flowers to anybody.
12:18Hello?
12:20Listen, that kid is still upsetting the whole town looking for Bill Jones.
12:24I'm going to fire him.
12:26What?
12:27What do you want a nosy kid like him up there for?
12:31All right.
12:32You're the boss.
12:33But I still think we ought to get rid of him.
12:36And I'll send him right up.
12:37Okay.
12:43It's about time you got here.
12:45What's the matter, Mr. Lester?
12:46More rush orders?
12:47Yes.
12:48And besides that, what do you mean by telephoning all over town for Mr. Bill Jones?
12:52Well, I told you, sir.
12:53Miss Benton gave me a message for us.
12:55Haven't I told you we don't deliver messages like that to our customers?
12:59Now get busy and deliver a boot in the air to Mr. Fred Morgan's apartment.
13:03Yes, sir.
13:04And remember, Mr. Morgan is one of our best customers.
13:07So don't stop to look for any more Bill Joneses.
13:10Say, Mr. Lester, we're getting an awful lot of rush orders lately.
13:12We could certainly use a girl around here to help us.
13:15A girl?
13:15Well, yes, sir.
13:16And, well, she could pack flowers and give Jefferson and I a lot more time than for our deliveries.
13:21And I know just a girl.
13:23Her name is Suzie Carey.
13:24Get going.
13:25Well, yes, sir.
13:30Yes, sir.
13:38The flowers for Mr. Morgan.
13:40Well, just a moment, please.
13:41Mr. Morgan wishes to see you.
14:17I ordered this about an hour ago.
14:18What took you so long to get here?
14:19Well, I'm sorry, but I've been looking for you.
14:22Me?
14:23Yeah.
14:23I've been looking all over for you, but I didn't know you were you.
14:27Well, I'm afraid I don't quite know the score.
14:29What's all this about?
14:30Well, you see, Phyllis Benton gave me a message to deliver to you personally.
14:34And, gosh, I looked every place for you, but I didn't know you were Bill Jones until just now.
14:38Wait a minute.
14:40My name is Morgan.
14:41Fred Morgan.
14:43What on earth makes you think I'm Bill Jones?
14:45Oh, I'm a graphologist.
14:47And the handwriting on Bill Jones' card is identical to that on your check.
14:50I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Jones.
14:52I mean, Mr. Morgan.
14:54Tell me, what's a clever kid like you doing delivering flowers?
14:59Oh, that's just a sideline.
15:01My real work is graphology.
15:02I see.
15:04I suppose you're wondering why I use the name Bill Jones.
15:07Well, yes, sir, I am.
15:13Young man, would you like to serve your country?
15:18Serve my country?
15:19Oh, boy, would I?
15:21Well, sit down.
15:22I'll give you a chance.
15:24Yes, sir.
15:25You see, about three years ago...
15:41Yes, sir?
15:42Fred Morgan in?
15:43Who shall I say is calling?
15:44Wait a minute, pal.
15:44I don't want to see him.
15:45I just want to know something.
15:46Well, I'm very sorry, sir, but...
15:47Now, now, I don't want to know much.
15:49I'd just like to know what time Mr. Morgan left his apartment.
15:52Yeah, he hasn't been out.
15:53Are you sure of that?
15:54Yes, sir.
15:55He hasn't been out.
15:57Okay.
16:07Is that a match?
16:09Yes, sir.
16:11Thanks.
16:13Keeping you pretty busy?
16:14Well, we're just making a social call.
16:19Had a lot of deliveries today?
16:21Yes, sir, and a lot that wasn't delivered.
16:23Hey, you didn't by any chance deliver some flowers to a Miss Benton, Phyllis Benton?
16:29Phyllis Benton?
16:30Oh, yes, sir.
16:30We delivered them flowers this morning.
16:32You know who sent them?
16:34Some Bill Jones.
16:36Mr. Cupid is running all over town looking for him now.
16:39Cupid?
16:40Yes, sir.
16:42That's a name that we call Jimmy, the delivery boy.
16:45What do you want to know so much about Miss Benton?
16:48I'm a reporter.
16:50Is she one of them celebrities?
16:52No.
16:53Well, that is, she wasn't until a few hours ago.
16:55Oh.
16:58Have a look at that.
17:11Yes, she's a pretty lady.
17:13What's the matter, can't you read?
17:15I can read reading, but I can't read writing.
17:18Oh, I see.
17:18Well, listen to this.
17:20Pretty Miss Phyllis Benton was today the victim of a ruthless killer.
17:23Mm.
17:24Who took her life under mysterious circumstances.
17:27Dressed in street clothes with packed bags as though leaving soon on a trip,
17:30the body of the girl was left in her apartment by the killer.
17:33Good precious of me.
17:34Police authorities are carefully checking every available killer's identity.
17:41You're a G man.
17:44Gee, that's wonderful, Mr. Morgan.
17:46And you're really going to let me be your assistant?
17:49Yes, Jimmy.
17:51Gosh.
17:52Providing you do exactly as I tell you to do.
17:55Oh, don't worry.
17:55I will, Mr. Morgan.
17:56You can depend on me.
17:57Now, the first thing I want you to remember is that you're not to tell me to anybody.
18:01Not even to the police or reporters or anyone.
18:06Not even the police?
18:08No.
18:09You see, Jimmy, running down spies is very dangerous work.
18:13You can't trust anyone.
18:15You never know who might be a spy.
18:18They're all over the place.
18:19Is Miss Phyllis Benton one?
18:21Yes, I'm afraid she is.
18:23That's why I didn't use my real name.
18:25I use lots of different names.
18:28Oh, I get you.
18:29Now, I want you to keep in close touch with me.
18:31And if anybody, anybody at all.
18:35Ask me.
18:36All right.
18:37Well, it certainly is an honor to work with you, Mr. Morgan.
18:39Thanks.
18:40Better run along now, Jimmy.
18:42Okay.
18:43Say, I don't like to mention this, but just between you and I, you know, I'm kind of qualified for
18:47this job.
18:48Used to be a boy scout.
18:50That's fine.
18:51Well, so long.
18:55What did you mean about Cupid looking for this Bill Jones?
18:58What does he want with him?
18:59I don't know no more, mister.
19:00You better ask Mr. Cupid.
19:01Here you come now.
19:02Oh, hello, Cupid.
19:03Hello yourself.
19:04Your friend here tells me you delivered some flowers today to Miss Phyllis Benton.
19:08That's right.
19:08What if I did?
19:09Well, he says that a Bill Jones sent those flowers and that you're looking for him.
19:12And I'd like to know why.
19:13You talk too much.
19:14Why are you asking me all these questions?
19:16Well, I'm a reporter and I'd like to get a line on Miss Phyllis Benton.
19:19Well, you're a reporter.
19:20Why don't you look her up?
19:21Well, I did.
19:23You don't need me then.
19:23She was murdered this afternoon.
19:25What?
19:28Who did it?
19:29That's what I'd like to know.
19:30Now, do you want to tell me what you want with Bill Jones?
19:33Well, no, I'm afraid that's still my business.
19:36I see.
19:37Let me give you some advice, Cupid.
19:39People who know anything about a murder and try to keep it to themselves sometimes get into trouble.
19:43Well, thanks very much for nothing.
19:45I think I can manage to take care of myself.
19:48Okay.
19:53Where are we going now?
19:54Sit tight.
19:55We've got to get rid of that Snoop.
19:57I've got to go back up and talk to Mr. Morgan.
19:59Now, look, if he comes back and asks you any questions, you don't know anything.
20:02Absolutely nothing, understand?
20:04You don't know nothing about what?
20:05About anything.
20:06About Mr. Morgan, Bill Jones, Phyllis Benton, or anything.
20:09Yeah, but he said if we don't tell what we know, we'll have to get in trouble.
20:13Yes, but if you do tell, you'll be a traitor to your country.
20:16Oh, Mr. Cupid, how could I be a traitor to my country?
20:19While my grandpappy cooked for the United States Army.
20:21Oh, now, look, try to get this into that thick skull of yours.
20:24Mr. Morgan is a G-man.
20:26G-man?
20:27Yes, and I'm a government agent now, too.
20:29You is?
20:29Yes, and so are you, I guess.
20:31That is, by proxy.
20:33Uh, can us wear a badge?
20:35No, no, we can't wear a badge.
20:37We're secret, secret servicemen.
20:40Oh, you've got to keep it a secret.
20:41That's it, now you've got it.
20:44Now, look, you wait right here for me.
20:58Can I speak to Mr. Morgan again, please?
20:59Sure, Jimmy, what is it this time?
21:01Hey, Chief, look.
21:02Somebody just murdered Ms. Benton.
21:04No.
21:06He's asking me a lot of questions.
21:07Says he's a reporter.
21:08What did you tell him?
21:09Nothing, Chief.
21:10Absolutely nothing.
21:12That's fine.
21:13Who do you think would do a terrible thing like that?
21:15I don't know.
21:17One of her spies, I suppose.
21:19Probably thought it would be safer to get rid of her.
21:23Gee, spies don't...
21:26Are you in your right mind?
21:29I think so.
21:30Why take a chance like that going to that crazy kid's house?
21:33That's just why I'm going to take chances.
21:35I don't get it.
21:36Maybe he isn't just a crazy kid.
21:39Maybe he has a brother or a father at home who put him up to all this.
21:43That's just what I was thinking.
21:44So what did you tell him all that bunk for?
21:46Because it's the surest way to keep his mouth closed.
21:49He's the only one that has me connected with Phyllis Benton.
21:52I know a better way to close his mouth.
21:55That kid's going to be very valuable to us.
21:57He'll watch every move Callahan makes.
21:59He'll notice anyone snooping around the shop.
22:02And he'll fly straight to me with the information.
22:04I still don't think it's...
22:06My dear Phillips, you never think.
22:08He'll be helping us night and day.
22:11And the sweet part of it is,
22:12a kid like that will never be suspected.
22:17Oh, but Jimmy, I'm afraid to barge in on your mother like this.
22:20Don't worry, mother's the sweetest thing in the world.
22:23Come on.
22:26Sit down.
22:27Ma!
22:30Hey, Ma!
22:31Say, what do you mean by coming home at this hour?
22:34And your ginger off, Mama?
22:35Uh, this is Susie.
22:37Miss Susie Carey, my mother.
22:38How do you do?
22:39She's going to stay with us tonight.
22:40Oh, she is?
22:41Yeah, and look, I want you to say that she's your niece from California.
22:45Mr. Morgan's coming over to see me on business,
22:46and I want him to meet Susie here.
22:48And you say that she's a relative of yours,
22:50so it won't look phony to Mr. Morgan to find Susie here.
22:53No, I don't see.
22:55Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. O'Brien.
22:57I know I shouldn't have come here, but Jimmy and Susie...
22:59It's all right, Miss Carey.
23:00I know it's no fault of yours.
23:02It's this bright son of mine.
23:04Do you mind waiting in the kitchen a few minutes,
23:06till I get down to the bottom of this?
23:08Sir, it's O'Brien.
23:11Jimmy O'Brien, now you listen to me.
23:14In the first place, you're Laner.
23:16Well...
23:17In the second place, I've told you time and time again
23:20to stop trying to play Cupid.
23:23But...
23:23In the third place, you can't use my house for a lonesome club.
23:27I'm not...
23:28And in the fourth place, I'll tell no lies about Miss Carey
23:32being my niece from California.
23:34Oh, Mom, please.
23:35It's not exactly a lie.
23:36We're just pretending.
23:38Please, say she's your niece.
23:39I'll do nothing of the kind.
23:42There's Mr. Morgan now.
23:44Hey, Susie.
23:45Susie, come on out.
23:46He's here.
23:47Don't forget, Mom, please.
23:48She's your niece from California, huh?
23:50I will not say she's my niece from California or any other state.
23:54Oh, hiya, Chief.
23:59Any new developments?
24:01Nothing new, Jimmy.
24:03Uh, come in, Mr. Morgan.
24:10Mother, I'd like to have you meet Mr. Morgan.
24:12How do you do, Mr. Morgan?
24:13It's a pleasure, Mrs. O'Brien.
24:14And this is my darling little niece who's just arrived from California,
24:18Miss Susie Carey.
24:19How do you do, Miss Carey?
24:22How do you do, Mr. Morgan?
24:23Let me take your coat, darling.
24:24Uh, Mr. Morgan, this is my graphology file.
24:27Uh, you and Susie can sit over there together and look at it, huh?
24:32Go ahead.
24:33Sit down.
24:35Well, uh, I'm hungry now, Mom.
24:37I think I can eat supper.
24:39Come on.
24:40You'll excuse us, won't you, please?
24:41Yeah.
24:51Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
24:53Putting poor Miss Carey in such an awkward position.
24:56But, Ma, according to...
24:57Don't you say graphology to me again!
24:59Shh!
25:00Well they'll hear you.
25:01Shh!
25:31Hey, Mom.
25:32Something must have gone wrong.
25:33They're not saying anything.
25:34You think maybe I better...
25:35Mind your own business.
25:37Yeah, but I picked him for Susie's boyfriend.
25:39I gotta do something.
25:46Excuse me for busting in like this, but...
25:48I just had an idea.
25:49Mr. Lester says you're one of our best customers, is that...
25:51Yes.
25:53Well, Susie's gonna be looking for a job, and...
25:55Well, we could certainly use a girl at the shop with all these rush orders and everything, so I thought
25:58maybe...
25:58Why don't you speak to Mr. Lester?
26:01Well, I did, but Mr. Lester and I aren't getting along so well right at the present.
26:06Oh, excuse me, will you?
26:07I think that's for me.
26:09I left this number at my apartment in case anyone tried to reach me.
26:12Oh, come on, I'll show you where the phone is.
26:14Right there on the table.
26:19Why don't you do something?
26:20I can't do everything.
26:22Oh, what can I do?
26:23I don't know.
26:24Oh, yes, this is Mr. Morgan.
26:26Olga was unavoidably detained.
26:29Oh, that's too bad.
26:31What shall I do with her corsage?
26:35Well, don't worry.
26:38I'll take care of everything.
26:39She'd be a cinch to get the job.
26:41Why, I'd be very glad to do that.
26:44I should think you would be a charming asset to the shop.
26:46Oh, thank you, Mr. Morgan.
26:48See, that's awful nice of you.
26:49Oh, not at all.
26:50And by the way, Miss Carrie,
26:52I have two tickets to the midnight showing of the golden slipper.
26:55I was to have taken my mother tonight, slightly indisposed.
26:58Am I presuming too much in asking you to go with me?
27:02I don't think I could.
27:03Oh, yes, you could, Susie.
27:04Sure, she'd love to go.
27:06Oh, but I'm not dressed.
27:07Well, I wouldn't give you time to change clothes and then come back, couldn't you, Mr. Morgan?
27:09Why, certainly.
27:10I'll call back for you in an hour.
27:13And I know a delightful place, about 15 miles in the country,
27:17where we could have dinner.
27:18Oh, oh, Susie, you'd be crazy about that.
27:20She's always like those out-of-the-way places.
27:22Well, I'm settled then, is it?
27:23I'll call back for you in an hour.
27:25All right.
27:31Boy, everything's going great, isn't it?
27:33Oh, it is, is it?
27:36Say, how many more times have I got to tell you to stop playing Cupid?
27:40Here you've got this girl going someplace she doesn't want to go,
27:43with a man she doesn't even know,
27:45doing something she doesn't want to do.
27:47Oh, but, Mom, you don't understand.
27:49She's perfect for Susie.
27:51Graphology says so.
27:52Say, Jimmy O'Brien,
27:53if you as much as mention that word in this house again, I...
27:58You know, Mom, that's what I've always liked about you.
28:01You're so tired.
28:02Come on, I'll get your hat and coat.
28:03Oh.
28:09That's lovely.
28:10I hope you're right.
28:11We're taking an awful chance with this girl.
28:13What else can we do?
28:15Not that an organ's in a jam.
28:17I don't like the most people.
28:20Besides, I don't think she'll question wearing a beautiful corsage.
28:23But suppose...
28:24I'll do the supposing.
28:26Furthermore,
28:27I want you to give her a job in the shop tomorrow.
28:29Give her a job here?
28:30Yes, here.
28:33She's going to work out excellently.

39:55very well
40:00so
40:01so morgan owns a shop huh
40:04can't figure out how he fooled me
40:05and mr morgan owned this shop we better quit that investigation
40:09why
40:09cause we going to investigate ourselves right out of jar
40:12oh shh

40:20hey you mean we can arrest morgan now
40:22no no not yet
40:23we know a lot of things about him but we can't prove any of it for instance we're sure he
40:26had phyllis benton married
40:28well
40:29why would he want to have her
40:30because she found out what he was using her for a signal carrier
40:33you gotta hand it to him he's plenty smart using flowers for messages
40:37flowers
40:37yeah
40:37what do you mean
40:39telegrams can be decoded telephone lines tapped but who's going to decode a bunch of flowers
40:44oh i get it you mean like roses would mean one thing and violet something else
40:48but smarter than that
40:49it's the arrangement the color combination and where they're worn
40:52a girl wearing a coarse serge could mean anything from arson to murder
40:56say that's pretty
40:58oh my gosh

41:57so we're going back to the shop
41:58i think i just had a brainstorm
42:07we're going back to that shop
42:09search all the files
42:10we may get enough evidence to arrest morgan tonight
42:13oh well he's probably taking morgan's baloney seriously
42:17just the same i'm going to keep my eye on him a little longer
42:22i don't think we ought to go back to that shop
42:24how you know that man back at that pool room ain't following us
42:26well we'll drive around the block and make sure he isn't
42:30pretty smart huh
42:30you know you see you ask my opinion you wouldn't listen no
42:34i'm
42:35hello
42:36lester
42:37listen
42:38i'm about three blocks away
42:40it looks like the kids headed for the shop
42:42turn out the lights and wait
42:44i'll come around the back way and meet you there
42:46i think he's up to something
42:54mr. cubit
42:58mr. callahan told us not to do anything unless we tell him
43:01and i think he's an awful smart man
43:03yeah well he wasn't smart enough to think of what i'm going to do
43:16i don't know
43:17jefferson get that record book we're going through everything in the place
43:19boy i'd give anything to see morgan's face when he finds out i'm trailing him instead of callahan
43:23mr. cubit is you sure that you ain't gonna change your mind again
43:26absolutely
43:27morgan's one spy that's going to be trapped by nothing but plain graphology
43:30and with callahan assisting me i wouldn't be surprised if we rounded up the whole bunch of those dirty rats
43:34but mr. cubit there's one thing about spies i can't understand
43:37yeah what's that
43:38why do they have to investigate them so much
43:41why don't they take them out and shoot them
43:42because you've got to have foolproof evidence
43:44oh
43:44and that's what we're getting right here
43:46i see
43:46boy this is great
43:48even if we're not real gene men we're still serving our country
43:50i can hardly wait for them to grab the whole bunch of them
43:52this will probably be the biggest roundup of spies in the united states
43:55i'm certainly going to make it plain to those newspapers what this country owes to graphology because
44:02is that you jefferson
44:08it can't be
44:10i'm afraid you're going to have to postpone that interview with the press

52:07Callahan
52:08Matt
52:08Number is 161285 but it's sure to be a phony that's all
52:23It's held rigidly in place by this wire frame
52:27Looks beautiful doesn't it a nice floral piece
52:30And it's time for 1230?
52:32Yes
52:33Well as long as we are unable to get these bomb sites
52:36No other country is going to have them
52:38Remember there must be no slip up
52:40I don't know how much Callahan told the girl
52:44Have you been able to get anything out of Jimmy?
52:46No he still insists she knows nothing
52:48Well bring him in I'll settle this
52:50Are we going to dispose of them now?
52:52No we can't afford to have two employees of the shop found liquidated
52:56Until our work is done and we're safely on our way
52:58Listen here Morgan
52:59Susie doesn't know a thing about this
53:01She don't know nothing I don't know nothing and Mr. Cupid don't know nothing
53:05And if he did we wouldn't be here
53:07Shut up
53:08Pick up this
53:09Tell her you're going to be out of town tonight
53:10Then get the girl on the phone
53:11I'm going to find out how much she knows
53:13Quit stalling
53:19Whitmore 9371
53:22Hello mom
53:23Oh hello Susie
53:25Listen will you tell mom I won't be home tonight
53:27Yeah I'm going out of town
53:31All right I'll tell her
53:32Say Jimmy
53:34From what Pat Callahan said tonight
53:35You were right about my not going out with Mr. Morgan anymore
53:38I'll tell you all about it in the morning
53:40Goodbye
53:42Say goodnight
53:45Well goodnight Susie
53:49Well I guess that settles that
53:51Morgan without a doubt you're just plain rotten
53:54What are you arguing with that to Mr. Cupid for?
53:56He didn't mean no harm
53:58Tell the carrier girl to take the floral piece to the very airport
54:00And give her a lot of extra flowers
54:02Enough to keep her there until 1230
54:08Can I talk to Mr. Callahan?
54:12Pat
54:14Pat
54:14It's me
54:16Cassidy
54:17Oh hello Cassidy
54:19How you feeling Callahan?
54:21Oh pretty good
54:21Hey
54:24Bend down a little I can't hear you
54:28Get that nurse out of here we're going places
54:33He says he'd like to have a cup of tea
54:40Get my pants
54:41Oh now wait a minute Pat
54:42You're a sick man
54:43Shut up and get my pants
54:44Oh gee Pat
54:47Now you see what I mean is
54:48You can always tell a man's character by his handwriting
54:52For instance your signature shows that
54:54Ah nonsense
54:55I don't believe it
54:56Put it away
54:56Every day you haven't studied graphology
54:59I still don't believe in it
55:01Suppose a man had palsy
55:02Oh well that wouldn't matter
55:04Because graphology would show you that
55:05Yes and his character too
55:07Now for instance
55:08Your signature shows that you like intrigue and adventure
55:11How?
55:13Well just by the way he crosses the T and
55:15Has a little
55:15It's very hard to see look
55:16See right there
55:18All right
