00:01:00a.
00:01:31Hurry up with the call.
00:01:34So you're the latest cub, eh?
00:01:36Yes, sir.
00:01:37What's your name?
00:01:38Arthur Brighton.
00:01:39Well, Art Brighton, your newspaper career starts or stops with this assignment.
00:01:43And don't forget, from now on, news comes first.
00:01:47Yes, sir.
00:01:48You remember that old lady who was killed by what was called a marijuana-crazed youth?
00:01:52Yes.
00:01:53Well, that was news.
00:01:54Now I find this woman left with an eccentric thought in her will, a moral thought.
00:01:59That might make her news again.
00:02:01Yeah.
00:02:02You go to that town, follow up the lead, see what you can learn.
00:02:06I don't care how you get in with that young set, but get in.
00:02:09Yes, sir.
00:02:30I heard you're going to inherit your grandmother's money, Joan.
00:02:34Yes, it was in the paper.
00:02:36Oh, was it?
00:02:41Ah!
00:02:42I'm kidding!
00:02:43Oh!
00:02:44Oh!
00:02:45Oh!
00:02:46Oh!
00:02:47Oh!
00:02:48Are you all right?
00:02:49Oh.
00:02:50I always told everybody you would inherit your grandmother's money someday.
00:02:56When is Judge Herbert going to give it to you?
00:02:59How much is it?
00:03:00Are you all right, Miss Frisbee?
00:03:02Oh, for ma'am's sakes, no.
00:03:04I mean, yes.
00:03:06How much is it?
00:03:07But you are hurt, Miss Frisbee.
00:03:09Now you just follow my example and you'll get that money all right.
00:03:13You know, I've been a good girl all my life.
00:03:16How much did you say at first?
00:03:18I did the same, Miss Frisbee.
00:03:22Little snip.
00:03:27Oh!
00:03:28Now, you shouldn't laugh at her.
00:03:31She might have been hurt.
00:03:32So what?
00:03:33The old gossip.
00:03:34Come on home.
00:03:35Mother's waiting for us.
00:03:36Oh, don't you try to baby-sister me.
00:03:45Okay, Linda.
00:03:46Read it any way you like, upside down, backwards, or sideways.
00:03:50I'm telling you, it still spells Joan Barry gets the money.
00:03:53You think so?
00:03:55Well, I'm telling you something, Jack Howard.
00:03:57Neither you or that money's going to walk out on me.
00:03:59I don't know about the money, but I'm on my way.
00:04:01Not so fast.
00:04:04Suppose Joan strays from the straight and narrow path.
00:04:08Then who gets Grandma's dough?
00:04:12Well?
00:04:14Well?
00:04:15You're a past master at compromising girls, aren't you?
00:04:19Why, not Joan.
00:04:22But don't get too serious about it.
00:04:24Remember, we're still man and wife, even if it is a secret.
00:04:27I can't forget that.
00:04:40Hey, look here, Judge Herbert.
00:04:42You've been doing that to me for 20 years.
00:04:44Doing what?
00:04:45Jumping a king backwards with a man.
00:04:47You can't do that.
00:04:48Well, I did, didn't I?
00:04:49And you're a cheat.
00:04:51Hey, you can't call me a cheat, Pop Brady.
00:04:53But I did.
00:04:54Well, you did it for the last time.
00:04:57Play chess with me.
00:05:13Here, what do you want?
00:05:15How's chances of getting a Parisian flip?
00:05:18Never heard of it.
00:05:19You want one of them things, miss it yourself.
00:05:45Hey, who are you?
00:06:02Name's Art Brighton.
00:06:05Kind of a fancy drink you're mixing.
00:06:07What do you call it?
00:06:09Parisian flip.
00:06:14What do they taste like?
00:06:16Swell.
00:06:18What do you have?
00:06:19The same.
00:06:22Two Parisian flips.
00:06:24Yes, sir.
00:06:42I want a vanilla malt.
00:06:43Come on, yours?
00:06:44Oh, I got a big pint open.
00:06:46Yours, please?
00:06:47Chocolate malt and milk.
00:06:48Chocolate malt and milk, coming right up.
00:06:50There you are, Pop.
00:06:51Hello, Judge Herbert.
00:06:52Hello, Joan.
00:06:57I want my malt and milk.
00:06:58Coming right up.
00:07:01Gee, Pop, it looks like you're getting prosperous
00:07:03having a soda clerk work for you.
00:07:05Ain't got anybody working for me.
00:07:07What's he doing?
00:07:09Him?
00:07:10He's mixing Parisian.
00:07:12Oh.
00:07:14I hired him just now.
00:07:16There's a jump for you, Pop.
00:07:18That's right, Joan.
00:07:19You can see it.
00:07:21There's a nice girl.
00:07:24They don't come any better.
00:07:27Well, what are you going to have?
00:07:28Fine malt beer.
00:07:29Hello, Brighton.
00:07:30Still talking those poor folks?
00:07:31Oh, don't be silly.
00:07:43When is this weenie bake?
00:07:44Tonight.
00:07:45I'm taking Joan.
00:07:46Why, I thought Linda was your favorite heartbeat.
00:07:48Tonight it's going to skip a beat.
00:07:50Go ahead, Joan.
00:07:51I have a date.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:58Who are they?
00:07:59What are they?
00:08:01What's that?
00:08:02Marijuana weed cigarettes.
00:08:03Didn't you ever smoke them?
00:08:04No.
00:08:05Dang, you missed a real kick.
00:08:06Something different.
00:08:07That's right.
00:08:08And Linda says the man who sells them
00:08:09told her they wouldn't hurt her.
00:08:11Come on, give me one.
00:08:13I haven't got any more.
00:08:14They're all gone.
00:08:15You know, those things cost money,
00:08:16and you don't give me enough.
00:08:18Well, I'll get some more money for you tomorrow.
00:08:21Well, I haven't got any more reefers.
00:08:23Would you like something stronger?
00:08:25What kind of a kick does it have?
00:08:27See what you think.
00:08:30You're lovely, Joan, lovely.
00:08:32I never realized it before.
00:08:34I'm afraid it's the moon.
00:08:36And I'm afraid it's the good.
00:08:39Will I see you often?
00:08:41Mm-hmm.
00:08:42Tomorrow?
00:08:43Mm-hmm.
00:08:45And the next day?
00:08:48No.
00:08:49Oh, why not?
00:08:51Because it's Sunday, and I'm going to church with mother.
00:08:54Hey, this party's dying.
00:08:56And how.
00:08:57Hey, you two lovebirds, get something peppy on that radio.
00:09:06Oh, hey, I feel just like a son.
00:09:09Oh, I feel like your favorite slave.
00:09:13All right, play dance.
00:09:17Say, here you are, here you are, right this way,
00:09:20ladies and gentlemen, and see Fatima.
00:09:27What's that?
00:09:28It sounded like Joan.
00:09:30Help!
00:09:31Help!
00:09:32Give me a hand!
00:09:37Oh, Joan, what happened?
00:09:39Oh, isn't this awful?
00:09:41What happened, Joan?
00:09:42What happened?
00:09:43How's the matter, Jack?
00:09:44Can't you take care of a girl?
00:09:45I bet you weren't doing it on purpose.
00:09:47You do that.
00:09:48That's awful.
00:09:49That's awful.
00:09:50That's awful.
00:09:51That's awful.
00:09:52That's awful.
00:09:53That's awful.
00:09:54That's awful.
00:09:55That's awful.
00:09:56That's awful.
00:09:57Don't do it, it's ice cold.
00:09:59All right, lie down, lie down.
00:10:01What happened, Joan?
00:10:02I slipped and fell in the lake.
00:10:04Better get those clothes off.
00:10:06Come on, let's get some clothes on.
00:10:12They better be pants and heels.
00:10:14They are.
00:10:15It's so cold in that lake.
00:10:17Here, you better take that.
00:10:19I'll take that.
00:10:20Take a bandana for your head.
00:10:21Oh, thanks.
00:10:22Hey, Jenny, bring us that coat.
00:10:26Here's the wood.
00:10:27Yeah, come on.
00:10:31Oh, boy, you're shivering.
00:10:34Well, this coat will warm you up.
00:10:36Boys do it.
00:10:44Here, get this coat on, honey.
00:10:47There we are.
00:10:53Oh, hang it up there, girls.
00:11:06Hey, hey, none of us boys saw you undressing, Joan,
00:11:09but I bet this is what you look like.
00:11:17Excuse me.
00:11:27Don't forget the socks.
00:11:28Is that the way you do it, Joan?
00:11:30Some class.
00:11:36Charlie, I don't wear socks.
00:11:47Oh!
00:11:57Joan, look!
00:11:58Your clothes are burning!
00:11:59Oh!
00:12:04Watch it, Joan!
00:12:05Watch it, Joan!
00:12:08Oh, don't marry.
00:12:10Ain't what you used to be.
00:12:12Ain't what you used to be.
00:12:14Ain't what you used to be.
00:12:16Oh, don't marry.
00:12:17Ain't what you used to be.
00:12:19Not so long ago, without a bride.
00:12:32What a surprise!
00:12:33Hey!
00:12:36Hey, look, it's Frisbee's house.
00:12:38Look, Frisbee's fine.
00:12:40Oh, look at the hair.
00:12:42Miss Frisbee, it was my fault.
00:12:51Why, Joan Barrett, you're naked.
00:12:58I fell in the lake, Miss Frisbee.
00:13:00While my clothes were drying, they burned.
00:13:02A likely story.
00:13:05Oh, don't pay any attention to that old badlack.
00:13:08She never believed the truth about anybody anyway.
00:13:12Come on, Joan.
00:13:13Come on.
00:13:14Let's get her.
00:13:15Come on, Joan.
00:13:16Come on.
00:13:17Come on.
00:13:18Let's step on it.
00:13:37Maine, 300.
00:13:43Maine, 300.
00:13:52Mrs. Barrett, I think you should be the first one to know.
00:13:55Your daughter Joan drove into my house in the news.
00:14:00In the what?
00:14:01In the news.
00:14:03Well, where did she get it?
00:14:04Where did she get what?
00:14:06Well, what was it you said?
00:14:08I said your daughter Joan.
00:14:11Well, she's running around naked.
00:14:14You're talking nonsense, Miss Frisbee.
00:14:16Good night.
00:14:27Maine, 145, please.
00:14:39I'm tired.
00:14:41Well, Mom?
00:14:43Well, Joan, what happened to your shoes and stockings?
00:14:45I went for a swim in the lake.
00:14:47At night?
00:14:48Oh, don't get excited, darling.
00:14:50It was an accident.
00:14:54Well, did your husband write a good night kiss?
00:14:57Dozens of them.
00:14:59Dozens of them.
00:15:07Between the telephone and her scooter,
00:15:09Frisbee will tell the whole town before noon.
00:15:29Hello.
00:15:30Hello.
00:15:31Can you get in?
00:15:32Not yet.
00:15:33Did you have a good time at the party last night?
00:15:35I'll say.
00:15:36You missed a lot of fun.
00:15:38Oh, I always seem to miss all the fun.
00:15:41We'll have to change all that.
00:15:43Can I depend on it?
00:15:46What do you think?
00:15:48When are you going to have another party?
00:15:50There won't be another one like last night.
00:15:52Why not?
00:15:53Joan Berry took off all her clothes and danced the hula.
00:15:56Joan Berry?
00:15:57I'll say.
00:15:58She's some wild Indian, she is.
00:16:04Brighton, I sent for you to straighten you out
00:16:07on this assignment.
00:16:08Now, I'm not interested in obscene parties.
00:16:11That's only news and location where it occurs.
00:16:13What I want to know is the underlying
00:16:15cause of such action.
00:16:17Find out if marijuana is playing any part
00:16:19in the lives of these young people.
00:16:21Here are pictures of the young people
00:16:23Here are pictures of suspects and known peddlers.
00:16:25Take them with you and keep your eyes open.
00:16:32Now I'm going to show you something that should impress
00:16:34you as to the seriousness of the situation.
00:16:53Marijuana dates back as far as 1090 A.D.
00:17:18A weed was then called, by the Arabic word,
00:17:22from which we get our English word, assassin.
00:17:25During this period, a diabolical, fanatical,
00:17:29cruel and murderous group living in Syria and Persia
00:17:33committed secret murders in blind obedience
00:17:36to the will of their masters.
00:17:38The heinousness of these crimes aroused
00:17:41all of Europe and Asia.
00:17:43It was their custom that whenever a sheikh
00:17:46required the services of an assassin,
00:17:48a distinctive class known as feijas
00:17:51were intoxicated with hashish,
00:17:53known to us as marijuana.
00:17:56The weed now, as well as then,
00:17:58is rightly accused of exciting the basest
00:18:00and most criminal tendencies in the minds of its addicts.
00:18:04In one of our prisons, a survey recently made
00:18:07showed that out of 450 persons,
00:18:10125 were addicts of marijuana,
00:18:13ranging from 18 to 31 years of age.
00:18:18Furthermore, the records of a certain district attorney
00:18:21taken over the period of the past several years
00:18:24revealed that in his district,
00:18:2717 out of 37 of the murderers,
00:18:3213 out of 145 forgers,
00:18:3615 out of 145 cases of assault and battery
00:18:41were addicts of marijuana.
00:18:44But I'm afraid that my words will not impress you,
00:18:47so allow me to give you a few scenes
00:18:50that I know will have a lasting impression.
00:18:55I saw her standing on the eighth story ledge.
00:18:58She jumped. It's a plain case of suicide to honor.
00:19:02Suicide to most everyone,
00:19:04but to me it's murdered by marijuana.
00:19:08You murdered five people, including your uncle.
00:19:11The weapon was found on you.
00:19:14Why did you do it?
00:19:19I had a terrible dream.
00:19:23People were trying to hack off my arms.
00:19:29They were sneaking around, trying to kill me.
00:19:33I recognized one of them. It was my uncle.
00:19:40I had to kill him.
00:19:42Before they killed me.
00:19:44I had to kill him. Can't you understand? I had to kill him.
00:19:48They killed me. I had to kill him. Can't you understand?
00:19:57Hi, man.
00:20:00Hi, ma'am.
00:20:06Hey, three orange eggs and make them strong.
00:20:08And how?
00:20:09Here's the first. Dutch treat.
00:20:11All right.
00:20:12Linda, is Jack taking you to the dance tonight?
00:20:15He's giving me the gate for Joan.
00:20:18Who's your date?
00:20:19Well, I thought Charlie was,
00:20:21but I guess the love bug hasn't bitten him yet.
00:20:24I've been dodging him all day.
00:20:26Maybe his love bug's a firefly.
00:20:28Only works at night.
00:20:30If you ask me, I think it's a snail and I'm wasting my time.
00:20:34I guess I'd better turn my charms on a new prospect.
00:20:39Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.
00:20:42My mother says that he will go.
00:20:50I guess I'd better try it again.
00:20:52Which one are you looking for?
00:20:53Oh, no, you don't.
00:20:54You kissed your nephew for a date.
00:20:56You kissed your nephew for a date.
00:20:58No, I won't.
00:20:59Well, I don't even know him.
00:21:01Coward.
00:21:02I bet you're afraid to ask him.
00:21:04Okay, it's a bet.
00:21:09Hello.
00:21:10Hello.
00:21:11What's your name?
00:21:12Art.
00:21:13Mine's Edith.
00:21:14Do you work here at night?
00:21:15Uh-huh.
00:21:16Every night?
00:21:17Late.
00:21:18Well, what are you doing tonight?
00:21:19Nothing. Why?
00:21:21Nothing.
00:21:25Do you see that girl over there?
00:21:27The one with the hair ribbon on?
00:21:29Uh-huh.
00:21:30She wants a date with you.
00:21:32Her name is Joan.
00:21:34Joan Barrett.
00:21:37Swell, thanks.
00:21:39Good luck.
00:21:43Did you ask him?
00:21:44I did.
00:21:45Well, I guess the treat's on me.
00:21:48You kids go ahead.
00:21:49I'll see you later.
00:21:50I'm going to wait for Marge.
00:21:57It'll be a pleasure.
00:21:58When does it happen?
00:22:00You and me.
00:22:01Aw, Charlie, don't be a groanie.
00:22:03I asked for a date.
00:22:05But for Joan.
00:22:09I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:10Our date.
00:22:11What date?
00:22:15No fault.
00:22:18Sorry.
00:22:19I guess the joke's on me.
00:22:28Thanks for the double cross.
00:22:31What's the matter?
00:22:32Wouldn't she fall for your line?
00:22:34Maybe it's her instinct.
00:22:35I never was much at dancing.
00:22:36There are grasping opportunities.
00:22:38Let's hear your line.
00:22:39Maybe I'll buy it.
00:22:41Well, I'll tell you, lady.
00:22:42I'm a one-woman man.
00:22:44I guess it's the air dealing me.
00:22:46And I never forget.
00:22:47Don't tell me.
00:22:48I know.
00:22:49It's the elephant.
00:22:50Is it true that elephants never forget?
00:22:53Sure.
00:22:54But they might just as well.
00:22:55They haven't anything to remember.
00:22:57Well, get that elephant of yours working
00:22:59and see if you can remember that you
00:23:01have a date with me tonight.
00:23:03You mean it?
00:23:04Just wait outside after you get finished work
00:23:06and see.
00:23:08OK.
00:23:11Well, you've got your date.
00:23:12Yes, thanks.
00:23:14What are you doing?
00:23:15The treat's on me.
00:23:16Oh, thank you.
00:23:17See you later.
00:23:18Bye.
00:23:19Bye.
00:23:25Edith played a trick on you, Miss Berry.
00:23:27I'm sorry.
00:23:29I really am.
00:23:31Oh, that's all right.
00:23:32I understand.
00:23:37So you're the girl the whole town's talking about.
00:23:44I'm sorry.
00:24:14Boss says you've got to get more business.
00:24:38What's he growling about?
00:24:40I'm bringing him plenty.
00:24:41Well, you're going to bring more and like it.
00:24:43Don't forget what I told you.
00:25:14Well, did you tell her?
00:25:16Yeah.
00:25:17She'll come through all right.
00:25:22Oh, gee, this is a swell place.
00:25:24Do you live here alone?
00:25:26Oh, no.
00:25:27When my mother and father get back to New York,
00:25:29I'm going to let them stay here for a while.
00:25:31Well, that's nice of you.
00:25:34Oh, wait a minute.
00:25:37No credit.
00:25:39Cash customers only.
00:25:41Here's a color of my money.
00:25:43Here's mine.
00:25:44Give me one.
00:25:45Oh, boy.
00:25:46Here's mine.
00:25:47I can hardly wait.
00:25:49Wow, isn't that good.
00:25:51I'm going to get you a drink.
00:25:54Oh, my goodness.
00:25:55Oh, I'll be back.
00:25:57Oh, my goodness.
00:25:58I'll be back.
00:25:59Oh, my goodness.
00:26:00Oh, my goodness.
00:26:01Wow, isn't that good?
00:26:03I've been waiting for this all day.
00:26:05One more, or I'll be floating.
00:26:10I want something stronger.
00:26:12How much have you got?
00:26:17There.
00:26:18Okay.
00:26:28Now don't take those all at once.
00:26:32Oh, I'll be getting a...
00:26:33Well, have a good...
00:26:34Oh, my.
00:26:35This is going to be a swell party, isn't it?
00:26:37Well, have a good time, girls.
00:26:39You bet.
00:26:40You think we won't.
00:26:41Very much.
00:26:48I met Judge Herbert at Pops today.
00:26:50Did he take the bait?
00:26:51No.
00:26:52His close-burning gig was too mild for the old moss-pack.
00:26:56Imagine.
00:26:57I'm sorry, Miss Berry. I really am.
00:26:59Oh, you're always sorry.
00:27:01You should be an undertaker.
00:27:02Well, you wouldn't want to marry an undertaker, would you?
00:27:05Oh, I don't know.
00:27:06They have wonderful homes.
00:27:08I don't believe you like me.
00:27:10How did you guess it?
00:27:11Oh, I'm pretty good at guessing.
00:27:13You'd better see that that darling Joan of yours gets some of these.
00:27:16Okay, I'll take care of it.
00:27:22Dance?
00:27:23Just a moment.
00:27:24Joan's my date.
00:27:26You'll save a dance for me, though, won't you?
00:27:28Maybe.
00:27:59Come on, honey, let's try.
00:28:01Oh, no, Jack.
00:28:02I'm tired.
00:28:03I want to sit down.
00:28:04Oh, all right.
00:28:07I guess this is my dance.
00:28:08You guessed wrong.
00:28:29Oh, my God.
00:28:30Oh, my God.
00:28:31Oh, my God.
00:28:32Oh, my God.
00:28:33Oh, my God.
00:28:34Oh, my God.
00:28:35Oh, my God.
00:28:36Oh, my God.
00:28:37Oh, my God.
00:28:38Oh, my God.
00:28:39Oh, my God.
00:28:40Oh, my God.
00:28:41Oh, my God.
00:28:42Oh, my God.
00:28:43Oh, my God.
00:28:44Oh, my God.
00:28:45Oh, my God.
00:28:46Oh, my God.
00:28:47Oh, my God.
00:28:48Oh, my God.
00:28:49Oh, my God.
00:28:50Oh, my God.
00:28:51Oh, my God.
00:28:52Oh, my God.
00:28:53Oh, my God.
00:28:54Oh, my God.
00:28:55Oh, my God.
00:28:56Oh, my God.
00:28:57Oh, my God.
00:28:58Oh, my God.
00:28:59Oh, my God.
00:29:00Oh, my God.
00:29:01Oh, my God.
00:29:02Oh, my God.
00:29:03Oh, my God.
00:29:04Oh, my God.
00:29:05Oh, my God.
00:29:06Oh, my God.
00:29:07Oh, my God.
00:29:08Oh, my God.
00:29:09Oh, my God.
00:29:10Oh, my God.
00:29:11Oh, my God.
00:29:12Oh, my God.
00:29:13Oh, my God.
00:29:14Oh, my God.
00:29:15Oh, my God.
00:29:16Oh, my God.
00:29:17Oh, my God.
00:29:18Oh, my God.
00:29:19Oh, my God.
00:29:20Oh, my God.
00:29:21Oh, my God.
00:29:22Oh, my God.
00:29:23Oh, my God.
00:29:24Oh, my God.
00:29:25Oh, my God.
00:29:26Oh, my God.
00:29:27I'm afraid mother will find out.
00:29:30Jack, I'm thirsty.
00:29:31Will you get me a drink of water, please?
00:29:33Would you like some lemonade?
00:29:35I'd love it!
00:29:39What's the matter with you?
00:29:40Losing your technique?
00:29:41Well, if you think so, watch my speed.
00:29:46You come to many of these parties?
00:29:47No, I've never been to one before.
00:29:49Aren't they exciting?
00:29:51Yes.
00:29:56Oh, I'm sorry, I'll make you another one.
00:30:11Oh, never mind.
00:30:13What did you put in this?
00:30:15Well, there's hardly anything in it.
00:30:17Go ahead, drink it.
00:30:18All right.
00:30:23Give me a reefer.
00:30:25I ain't got any more.
00:30:26Where can I get one?
00:30:28See that fella behind me?
00:30:30Get him from him.
00:30:39Go ahead, drink it.
00:30:40I'll make you another one.
00:30:41Okay.
00:30:55These parties last pretty late, don't they?
00:30:57Oh, what time is it?
00:31:00Oh.
00:31:01Oh, I better get Margie.
00:31:02I must go home.
00:31:03I'll find her for you.
00:31:15Irel.
00:31:17What do you want?
00:31:21Margie, your sister wants you.
00:31:33Having a good time?
00:31:34I should say so.
00:31:42Say, where you been?
00:31:44I thought you were a one-woman man.
00:31:46And the elephant never forgot.
00:31:50What's the matter, sis?
00:31:52Oh, don't go home yet, June.
00:31:54Okay, sourpuss.
00:32:18Come on, everybody.
00:32:19Come on.
00:32:31Where's Joan?
00:32:32She passed out.
00:32:33She's in there.
00:32:37Uh, you get the rest of them out of here,
00:32:39and I'll stay and take her home about dawn.
00:32:41Oh, no, you don't.
00:32:42You leave her here.
00:32:45Maybe Angel Face can talk her way out of this one.
00:32:54Wake up, kids.
00:32:55Party's over.
00:32:56Come on.
00:32:57Let's go home.
00:32:58Wait a minute.
00:32:59I want to powder my nose.
00:33:00It'll wait till you get home.
00:33:01Come on.
00:33:02Let's go.
00:33:03It's all over.
00:33:13Hey, where am I going?
00:33:14I don't care.
00:33:37Where's Joan?
00:33:38I don't know.
00:33:39I brought her home.
00:34:09Hello?
00:34:11Hello!
00:34:33There she goes again.
00:34:36Dang it all.
00:34:37Why is it these kids always cut capers at the wrong time?
00:34:42Darling, I'm not criticizing you.
00:34:44Don't try to baby-sister me.
00:34:46I know what everybody in town is talking about,
00:34:48even Judge Herbert.
00:34:50Mother told me you didn't have a chance of getting
00:34:52Grandma's inheritance now.
00:34:53Then we could have done a lot with the money.
00:34:55I realize I've made a mess of things,
00:34:57but honestly, I don't know what happened.
00:35:00Oh, no, of course not.
00:35:04You can pull the wool over Mother's eyes,
00:35:06but you can't fool me.
00:35:07I'm going in for some of that free love, too.
00:35:09Marjorie, what an awful thing to say.
00:35:11Well, if you can get away with that sort of thing,
00:35:13so can I.
00:35:14And from now on, I do as I please.
00:35:16And neither you or Mother are going to stop me.
00:35:18Marjorie, don't talk like that.
00:35:20You don't believe.
00:35:21I believe one thing.
00:35:22You spent the night with Jack Howard.
00:35:28Which is quoting from the official code book number
00:35:32seven.
00:35:33Page 32, third line, paragraph 19.
00:35:38My, you moth-eaten old hypocrites.
00:35:40Don't you split hairs with me on the law.
00:35:42You can't tell me there's anything wrong with Joan Barry.
00:35:45She's entitled to that money, and she's going to get it.
00:35:48Which is beside the point.
00:35:50I must render a decision that is fair, just,
00:35:53and equitable to all parties concerned,
00:35:56be they friend or foe.
00:35:59Justitia regina.
00:36:01What's that mean?
00:36:02To me, it means justice reigns.
00:36:05To you, it means nothing.
00:36:08Oh, talk American, you old bratterskite.
00:36:10Sir, I am.
00:36:11My decision shall be rendered according to the facts,
00:36:14and in no other way.
00:36:16And furthermore, I can have you arrested
00:36:19for trying to impede the justice of this court,
00:36:22of our fair city.
00:36:23And furthermore, I drank Persian flips with you.
00:36:27The last time.
00:36:29You old soda jiggler.
00:36:32What?
00:36:33What?
00:36:47There, there, Joan.
00:36:49There, there.
00:36:51Darling, darling.
00:36:53Oh, Mom, I've made such a mess of things.
00:36:56I did so want you to have Granny's money.
00:37:00I know how much you need it.
00:37:02Need it?
00:37:03Fiddlesticks.
00:37:04Who cares anything about the old money?
00:37:07The only thing I care about is my girls and their happiness.
00:37:12Oh, Mom, I don't think I'll ever be happy again.
00:37:18Everyone has done the same, such terrible things.
00:37:24I know, Mom.
00:37:26It isn't fair.
00:37:30Of course it isn't, darling.
00:37:33Many things in this world aren't fair.
00:37:36We all get hurt many times, but each hurt
00:37:39makes us a little stronger to bear the next one that
00:37:42is sure to come.
00:37:43People have a funny way of forgetting the blessings
00:37:46and remembering the hurts.
00:37:48You're young, Joan.
00:37:49You must be brave.
00:37:51You and I both know that everything is all right.
00:37:54Now, what's that you always say?
00:37:58Keep your head up.
00:38:00Jim.
00:38:02Good heavens, you're a sight.
00:38:06I'm going to wash your face.
00:38:08Oh, Mom, you're so wonderful.
00:38:15Hiya, Jack.
00:38:16Hello.
00:38:17I always said Joan Barry was a good girl.
00:38:20I always said Joan Barry would turn out to be no good.
00:38:23Why, her father was as wild as a march hare.
00:38:26He ran around something terrible.
00:38:29Ran too fast for you to catch him.
00:38:31Why, Henry Brady.
00:38:34He's always sticking his nose in other people's business.
00:38:37The worst old gossip in this town.
00:38:40Come on.
00:38:41Let's get out of here.
00:38:42This place is getting to be positively indecent.
00:39:03Hiya, Joan.
00:39:04How about a date?
00:39:05Come on, honey.
00:39:06Hiya, Joan.
00:39:07How about a date?
00:39:08Come on, honey.
00:39:09I'll show you a good time.
00:39:10All right, buddy.
00:39:11Ouch.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13Get up.
00:39:14Here you go, boy.
00:39:15Our time right with you.
00:39:17I guess that'll teach him a lesson.
00:39:19Too bad it had to happen in here.
00:39:21Well, that's all right.
00:39:22Well, it's not all right.
00:39:24I was at that party last night, and I know what happened.
00:39:27Maybe you do, but everyone else in town is against me.
00:39:31Well, I'm not.
00:39:37No, I was born here.
00:39:38And you've never been in a big city?
00:39:40No.
00:39:41Say, you've got something to look forward to.
00:39:43I love it.
00:39:44The hurrying crowds, all going places.
00:39:48It makes you feel like you're really in the stream of life,
00:39:50really doing big things.
00:39:52Why, you can just feel the throb of the metropolis.
00:39:55Oh, it sounds poetic.
00:39:57Well, it is.
00:39:59Only it's more like big music.
00:40:01The symphony of the city, you know.
00:40:03The auto horns, the traffic noises,
00:40:05the roar of the elevated railways,
00:40:07the subways in the rush hour.
00:40:08Say, wait until a subway guard slams a door in your face.
00:40:11Boy, that's a thrill.
00:40:12Oh, it must be great.
00:40:14And that's not all.
00:40:15There's museums, theaters, lights, tall buildings.
00:40:20Some of them are so big you can't see the tops of them
00:40:22when you're standing on a sidewalk.
00:40:24All you can see is the sky.
00:40:26But you can't look at that too long,
00:40:28or someone will come along and bump into you,
00:40:30and you'll be arrested for jaywalking.
00:40:32And on Sundays, say, it's a real treat
00:40:34walking through those empty streets downtown on a Sunday morning.
00:40:37There's not a soul in sight,
00:40:39just big buildings on both sides of you.
00:40:43You can just feel the power of the place.
00:40:47It makes you feel sort of awe-inspired.
00:40:50Oh, it must be wonderful.
00:40:53It is.
00:41:00Why, Mr. Brighton,
00:41:02you didn't need to run out of gas.
00:41:05Anyone in town will be glad to tell you that I don't walk home.
00:41:08Oh, pipe down.
00:41:19That looks like Linda's car.
00:41:21Well, ask her if she won't give us a lift while I get some gasoline.
00:41:33Wouldn't she give us a lift?
00:41:35No. Said she was in a hurry.
00:41:38I think she did it to spite me.
00:41:40Huh. Nice people we know.
00:41:53What's the matter with you?
00:41:55You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:41:58I thought I'd recognized one of those men.
00:42:02Looks like those kids knew Linda.
00:42:05Yeah.
00:42:07Better spot a new place to meet her.
00:42:09Try the hotel.
00:42:11Okay.
00:42:15Marjorie, I thought you were going to stay home tonight.
00:42:18No, I think I'll run over to Linda's for a while.
00:42:21Now, Marjorie, if you're too sick to go to the church social with Joan and me,
00:42:24you're too sick to go anyplace else.
00:42:27If you're too sick to go to the church social with Joan and me,
00:42:29you're too sick to go anyplace else.
00:42:31You better go back to bed.
00:42:33Oh, all right.
00:42:34Mother, come on. It'll be late.
00:42:36We won't be very long, darling.
00:42:38Good night.
00:42:47Now I'm alone.
00:42:49Oh, what a rogue and peasant slave of ours.
00:42:54But in a fiction, in a dream of patience.
00:43:15A broken point.
00:43:20And all for nothing.
00:43:22Poor Hecuba.
00:43:24What Hecuba to him, for he's a Hecuba that he should wait for.
00:43:27What would he do had he devoted himself more for patience than I have?
00:43:32Well, hello.
00:43:34My, what a nice party you got here.
00:43:36I know I wasn't invited, but I felt awfully lonesome.
00:43:40I hope you don't mind my gate crashing.
00:43:42Oh, you smell terrible.
00:43:44I'm sorry.
00:43:46Got any perfume?
00:43:49Leave him alone. I need some new customers.
00:44:09What are you looking for?
00:44:11I have some cigarettes.
00:44:13Somebody stole my smokes.
00:44:15Try one of these.
00:44:18Thanks.
00:44:31Marjorie. Marjorie.
00:44:34She must have gone to Linda's after I told her not to.
00:44:37Well, I'll call her and tell her to come home.
00:44:39You'll do nothing of the sort.
00:44:41I'm going over and get her.
00:44:43I'm going over and get her.
00:44:47We want Linda. We want Linda.
00:44:51We want Linda.
00:44:53Hurry up.
00:44:55Hey, this is on me.
00:44:57Oh, thanks, Charlie. She has no idea.
00:44:59I'll let you pick her.
00:45:07Oh, hello, sugar.
00:45:09Oh, yeah?
00:45:11I've got my hands up.
00:45:25Oh, what's your hurry?
00:45:28Come on, let's play hard.
00:45:30Listen, you be the front end and I'll be the back end.
00:45:33No, you've got to be the back end.
00:45:35No, no, you be the back end.
00:45:37No, I'll be the front end. You be yourself.
00:45:41Come on.
00:45:56I was only kidding her.
00:45:58Oh, that's all right.
00:46:11Oh, my God.
00:46:41Marjorie! Marjorie!
00:47:11Marjorie!
00:47:16Marjorie, what's the matter with you?
00:47:27There, there, Marjorie.
00:47:42Good morning, Mrs. Barry.
00:47:44I wonder if I could speak to Joan for a couple of minutes.
00:47:46I don't know.
00:47:48Please, I've got to speak to her.
00:47:50All right, come in. I'll ask her.
00:48:00Mother.
00:48:07Art Brighton is downstairs.
00:48:09Art Brighton is downstairs. He wants to see you.
00:48:11But I don't want to see him.
00:48:13Well, I think you'd better go down and talk to him.
00:48:15It was nice of him to call.
00:48:17All right.
00:48:29I know there isn't much I can say, Joan,
00:48:31but there are some things you must know.
00:48:33We can't part this way, Joan.
00:48:35You've got to listen to me.
00:48:37Wait, you've got to listen to me,
00:48:39whether you want to or not.
00:48:41I believed in you, Joan.
00:48:43It's your turn now.
00:48:45Trust can't all be on one side.
00:48:47It's give and take, 50-50.
00:48:49You mustn't doubt me now.
00:48:51All night, I felt as though the whole world
00:48:53had dropped out from under me.
00:48:55And I thought if I could just see you,
00:48:57you'd understand.
00:48:59But you don't.
00:49:03What has your family physician told you, Mrs. Barry?
00:49:05That it's the usual nervous condition
00:49:07of a young girl.
00:49:09But there's something else, doctor, I know it.
00:49:11And I want the truth.
00:49:13Very well, Mrs. Barry.
00:49:15Your daughter is a psychopathic case.
00:49:17She is on the verge of insanity.
00:49:19She has marked symptoms
00:49:21of drug addiction,
00:49:23and I strongly believe she has been using marijuana.
00:49:25What's that?
00:49:27A cigarette made out of a narcotic weed.
00:49:29Where would she get anything like that?
00:49:31It's easy enough to obtain.
00:49:33Your daughter is the fourth case
00:49:35I've examined today.
00:49:37All young people with similar symptoms.
00:49:39What will happen to her, doctor?
00:49:41She'll get well, won't she?
00:49:43With proper care,
00:49:45we may be able to help her.
00:49:47I'll send you a competent nurse.
00:49:49In the meantime, if you note any changes,
00:49:51call me immediately.
00:49:53Good day, Mrs. Barry.
00:49:55Good day, doctor.
00:49:57Oh, I've been so stupid.
00:49:59It's all my fault.
00:50:01I should have realized something was wrong.
00:50:03Don't blame yourself, Joan.
00:50:05I should have told you.
00:50:07Did you know?
00:50:09Yes. I'm not what you think I am.
00:50:11I'm a reporter assigned to this town
00:50:13to get a story.
00:50:15Remember those two men we saw
00:50:17near the filling station that night?
00:50:19Yes.
00:50:21Well, I recognized one of them as a narcotic peddler,
00:50:23and the one who's passing the stuff
00:50:25is your cousin, Linda.
00:50:27Linda?
00:50:29Are you sure?
00:50:31Yes, I made a buy from her last night.
00:50:33Well, you've got your story.
00:50:35Why don't you send it in?
00:50:37But it's more than a story, Joan.
00:50:39Terrible things are happening
00:50:41to young people like your sister
00:50:43all over the country.
00:50:45I know that Linda gave her that stuff,
00:50:47but it's only my word against hers.
00:50:49If these boys and girls won't admit it
00:50:51when they're so sick,
00:50:53why, what chance have I got to prove it?
00:50:55Joan, you've got to help me get more evidence.
00:50:57Delighted, sure.
00:50:59Well, Joan, when will we make it?
00:51:01Tonight.
00:51:03I'm supposed to be the bad girl of the town.
00:51:05I have the name,
00:51:07so I'll play the game.
00:51:09Let's make it a wild one.
00:51:11Well, baby, I'll throw a party
00:51:13that's worthy of the occasion.
00:51:15Swell.
00:51:17Now what do I do?
00:51:19Get some cigarettes and bring them out to me.
00:51:21I'll be outside in the car.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:25Come on, Charlie.
00:51:27Give us a two.
00:51:29Oh, I don't feel like it.
00:51:31I haven't got any pep.
00:51:33One of the girls was telling me
00:51:35about a new cigarette that peps you up.
00:51:37Oh, you mean Reefers.
00:51:39Yes, that's the name of them.
00:51:41Would you like to try one?
00:51:43Sure, why not?
00:51:45I'm supposed to be on the loose.
00:51:47Okay. Okay, gang.
00:51:49We want Linda.
00:51:51We want Linda.
00:51:53Come on, Linda, two.
00:51:57Who brought her here?
00:51:59I did. She's all right.
00:52:01She wants to go the route.
00:52:03What's the idea?
00:52:05Don't try to pull any fast stuff on me.
00:52:07I'm not.
00:52:09If you don't think so, watch her go for the Reefers.
00:52:13Oh, thank you.
00:52:23They're strong, aren't they?
00:52:25Oh, a little.
00:52:27And everybody pays for them, too, don't they?
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:53Here.
00:52:55Here.
00:53:21Here.
00:53:23I'm on the refreshment committee.
00:53:27Thank you, Linda.
00:53:45I'm getting dizzy.
00:53:53Oh!
00:54:01I came here for something.
00:54:03What was it?
00:54:07Don't you remember?
00:54:09In town, you're supposed to be a bad girl.
00:54:11And you came here to fulfill your obligation to society.
00:54:15Gee, that's right.
00:54:17Thanks for reminding me.
00:54:19I've got a lot of responsibility.
00:54:23But isn't it fun?
00:54:25Sure.
00:54:27Don't you remember?
00:54:29We were going to run away and get married.
00:54:33Oh, yes.
00:54:35But, listen.
00:54:37We don't want the gang to know that we're running out on them.
00:54:39So, uh, you wait outside,
00:54:41and I'll meet you out there.
00:54:43Okay.
00:54:45But don't be long.
00:54:53Hi!
00:54:55Hi!
00:55:15Joan.
00:55:17Arthur?
00:55:19What are you doing here?
00:55:23Oh!
00:55:31Come on, Joan, we're going home.
00:55:33Come on, we're going home now.
00:55:35Come on, Joan.
00:55:37Let go of me!
00:55:41Serves him right.
00:55:43He hurt my arm.
00:55:47Everybody be kangaroos.
00:55:53Wait a minute, you double-crosser!
00:56:23Wait a minute.
00:56:53We didn't get married, did we?
00:56:55No.
00:56:57We're going to straighten up first.
00:56:59No marriage.
00:57:01No honeymoon.
00:57:03Oh, that's all right.
00:57:05You'll have a separate room.
00:57:07Connecting.
00:57:23I'll be right back.
00:57:53Well, it looks like we ought to make more doors than that.
00:58:02Yeah.
00:58:03What are you doing listening at that door?
00:58:20I was looking for my room.
00:58:21Do you find your room by listening?
00:58:26A milk toast.
00:58:27Pleasure.
00:58:28Still.
00:58:29Come on, open the door.
00:58:30Police Department.
00:58:31This is Mrs. Berry and my daughter Joan is underage and she went to...
00:58:47We'll be over at that hotel right away.
00:58:51Yes, ma'am.
00:58:56I remember your mug.
00:58:58Didn't I see you at the gas station?
00:59:00Oh, still pigeon, eh?
00:59:21Come on, get over there.
00:59:27Come on, move.
00:59:30You too.
00:59:33Operator, operator.
00:59:36Who is it?
00:59:39It's me, Jack.
00:59:40Open the door.
00:59:41Hello, Crane.
00:59:42I have Loco O'Donnell and his partner here.
00:59:45What?
00:59:46Did you get the story?
00:59:47Yes.
00:59:48Well, wait a minute.
00:59:49I'll get your rewrite, man.
00:59:50Wait a minute, Mr. Crane.
00:59:51I've got to find a girl first.
00:59:52I'll get you a dozen girls here.
00:59:54Give me that story.
00:59:55No, you send a man up here.
00:59:57I'll hold him until he arrives.
00:59:59Make it fast.
01:00:07Joan.
01:00:08Joan, open the door.
01:00:20Joan.
01:00:41The young couple just rested here.
01:00:42Where are they?
01:00:43Upstairs.
01:00:44Then show us the room.
01:00:45Come on, Mike.
01:00:50Who is it?
01:00:51Open up.
01:00:52It's the police.
01:01:06What's your name?
01:01:07Joan Barrett.
01:01:14Show me that key.
01:01:16Show me that key.
01:01:27All right.
01:01:28Come on.
01:01:29You're going with me.
01:01:43Well, I see you got him all right.
01:01:44Hurry up.
01:01:45Get in the car.
01:01:46Wait a minute, Mr. Crane.
01:01:47I've got to find my girl.
01:01:48I tell you, news comes first.
01:01:49Where are we going?
01:01:50We're going back to town to get the real story,
01:01:52and you're going with me.
01:01:55You can't kidnap me.
01:01:56No, it's against the law.
01:01:57What about the freedom of the press?
01:01:58You can't take me away like that.
01:02:15I want to bail out Jack Howard.
01:02:17All right.
01:02:28Oh, Miss Jacob, Joan Barry's in jail.
01:02:36Joan, darling, what happened?
01:02:39I can't tell you, Mother.
01:02:41Why not?
01:02:43Because I can't say anything without Art Brighton.
01:02:46Well, what's he got to do with it?
01:02:48I can't tell you, Mother.
01:02:50You must tell me, Joan.
01:02:52The hearing on the will is today,
01:02:54and I've got to know what happened for your sake.
01:02:58Oh, good morning, Mr. Brady.
01:02:59How are you?
01:03:00Just fine.
01:03:01Just fine.
01:03:02Here comes that old tomcat on her gotcha wagon.
01:03:06Joan Barry's in jail.
01:03:08He'd make a good Paul Revere.
01:03:13Say, what did she say?
01:03:14She said Joan Barry was in jail.
01:03:18Say, where are you going?
01:03:19Going to get her out?
01:03:20What do you think?
01:03:24Have it quiet, please.
01:03:26It was my original intention to render my decision
01:03:29in the privacy of my official chambers.
01:03:32But there seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:03:35There seems to be so many people in this town
01:03:38interested in Elizabeth Barry's will
01:03:40that I decided to hold a public hearing.
01:03:43Hello.
01:03:44Hello, operator.
01:03:45Operator, I've got to find Pop Brady.
01:03:47Please, I've got to find him.
01:03:48It's important.
01:03:49And furthermore, there have been certain individuals
01:03:53guilty of unlawful attempts to influence
01:03:56the court of our fair city
01:03:58and impede the progress of the wheels of justice.
01:04:03Here.
01:04:10We will proceed.
01:04:13Miss Barry.
01:04:14Stand up.
01:04:17Is it true that you were arrested on a moral charge?
01:04:24Yes.
01:04:25Is it also true that on a previous occasion
01:04:29you were in a state of intoxication?
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:43Where are you?
01:04:44What's going on down there?
01:04:45That nurse wouldn't tell me a thing.
01:04:47Where's Joan?
01:04:48She's in jail.
01:04:49She's where?
01:04:50I said in jail.
01:04:52I got her out for the hearing.
01:04:54I don't know how you did it,
01:04:56but you certainly fixed things up in a pretty mess
01:04:59getting Joan into this trouble.
01:05:01Let me tell you one thing, young fellow.
01:05:03Save it, Pop.
01:05:04You've told me enough.
01:05:05Now listen, get this straight.
01:05:07Huh?
01:05:08Delay it?
01:05:09You've got to delay that hearing until I get there.
01:05:12Delay it?
01:05:13Say, I'll bust that court wide open.
01:05:21Proceed, Miss Frisbee.
01:05:23You know me well enough, George.
01:05:25Judge.
01:05:26To know that I would be the last person in this...
01:05:30The last person in this town to say a word against anyone.
01:05:33But the night they ran their automobile...
01:05:36The night they ran their automobile into my house,
01:05:39Joan Ferry was as...
01:05:41Joan Ferry was as naked as a jaybird.
01:05:44And he...
01:05:46One...
01:05:47Two...
01:05:50Three...
01:05:55Four...
01:05:57Five...
01:05:59Six...
01:06:01Seven...
01:06:03Eight...
01:06:05Nine...
01:06:07Ten...
01:06:09Eleven...
01:06:11Twelve...
01:06:13Thirteen...
01:06:15Fourteen...
01:06:17Fifteen...
01:06:19Sixteen...
01:06:21Seventeen...
01:06:23Eighteen...
01:06:25You're out of order.
01:06:26Sit down.
01:06:31Now, as I was saying, Your Honor, I was, uh...
01:06:35Proceed, Miss Frisbee.
01:06:37What is it?
01:06:38I said proceed.
01:06:40Oh, yes.
01:06:42Now, let me see. Where was I?
01:06:45Oh, yes.
01:06:46About the time Joan Barry stayed out all night.
01:06:50Some people said she was innocent.
01:06:52But I always say, where there's smoke, there's fire.
01:06:57Oh, you do, do you?
01:07:00Henry Brady, one more irregularity and I'll fine you for contempt of court.
01:07:05Now, if you have any evidence you wish to present pertaining to this case under consideration, you will be heard.
01:07:11Now, Judge, Your Honor, with your permission...
01:07:15All right, proceed.
01:07:16You'll be seated, Henrietta.
01:07:19Just for a moment, please.
01:07:21Things are no different in, uh...
01:07:24Well, get to the evidence you wish to present.
01:07:26Well, I will if you'll stop interrupting me.
01:07:28You proceed or sit down.
01:07:32Well, first of all, will you enlighten me on one point?
01:07:36What's Joan accused of?
01:07:38Moral turpitude.
01:07:40Moral turpitude.
01:07:42Uh-huh.
01:07:44Judge Herbert, where was you on the night of June 6, 1908?
01:07:50Ah, that's beside the point.
01:07:52No, it ain't.
01:07:53And I'll tell you where you was.
01:07:55You was locked up all night with a young lady in Henry Hoppersheimer's barn.
01:08:00You said it was an accident.
01:08:03And so did you, Henrietta.
01:08:06But for quite some time after, you referred to George here as, uh, Sweetie Chick.
01:08:13And furthermore, if I remember correctly,
01:08:18there was quite some scandal in our fair community.
01:08:21And the subject of it was moral turpitude.
01:08:25Yeah, but times have changed.
01:08:27No, they ain't.
01:08:29And you was lucky to talk yourself out of a shotgun marriage.
01:08:32There wasn't any harm in it,
01:08:34any more than there was in Joan here staying out all night.
01:08:38Henry Brady, I'll fine you for contempt of court.
01:08:42Go ahead and fine me.
01:08:43But consented, I'm going to have my say.
01:08:46You have insulted the dignity of this court,
01:08:48and I order you to leave this room.
01:08:51I ain't going.
01:08:52Bailey, remove him.
01:08:54You will be sorry for this.
01:08:58I'll fine you $25 for contempt of court.
01:09:01You can't fine me.
01:09:03Well, I did, didn't I?
01:09:04For the last time.
01:09:05Take him out of here, Bailey.
01:09:06Take him out of here.
01:09:07Hey, take your hands off him.
01:09:09I'll get back in a minute.
01:09:15Quiet, please.
01:09:16This bench will tolerate no more of this upheaval.
01:09:20Can't you go any faster than this?
01:09:24Judge Herbert, may I say something?
01:09:26Why, of course, Mary.
01:09:30Well, I hardly know how to start.
01:09:34My daughter has done things that I do not condone myself,
01:09:37and I won't attempt to explain them.
01:09:40Only she can do that, and she won't, not even to me.
01:09:44But I know my little girl.
01:09:49And nothing convinces me that she did wrong.
01:09:55Give Linda Clayton the money.
01:09:57I want none of it.
01:09:59But find out what's going on in your fair city, as you call it.
01:10:05Make my daughter Joan tell you where she was and what happened.
01:10:13Joan Barry, stand up.
01:10:16I am at a complete loss to understand your motive
01:10:19in offering no testimony to refute the accusations made against you.
01:10:23Your insistent denial is not enough,
01:10:26and your statement that one Arthur Brighton can explain everything
01:10:30is of no moment to this court.
01:10:33As Arthur Brighton has made no appearance in your behalf,
01:10:37you have left me no choice.
01:10:41Linda Clayton, stand up.
01:10:47It is the order of this court that you, Joan Barry, be...
01:10:51Judge Herbert!
01:10:53What is the meaning of this interruption?
01:10:55Judge Herbert, I have here the first copy off the press of the newspaper
01:10:58for which I work as a reporter.
01:11:00It concerns everyone in this room.
01:11:04Marijuana, the assassin of youth, the scourge of our country,
01:11:08is reaching out like a mad killer, mowing down the youth of our land,
01:11:11distorting their minds and leading them into lives of degradation and crime.
01:11:16This evil is struck here, Your Honor, right in your own homes,
01:11:19and has turned innocent play into tragic orgies.
01:11:23Why, at this very moment, your courtroom is filled with smokers of this terrible weed.
01:11:28How dare anyone accuse Joan Barry!
01:11:31She was helping me to uncover the source of this living death in your town.
01:11:35Why, in this very case, it was used as the companion of certain people
01:11:38to ruin the characters, yes, even the lives of others,
01:11:41in order that they might satisfy their greed for money.
01:11:44I refer to one of the litigants in this case, Linda Clayton.
01:11:49That's a lie!
01:11:50I suppose it's also a lie that you taught a sweet little girl to smoke that weed.
01:11:55This little Marjorie Barry, who at this very moment is lying at death's door.
01:12:01That's why Joan helped me.
01:12:03And I have proof, Your Honor.
01:12:06Pop, open that door.
01:12:10Coming in.
01:12:13Pop.
01:12:31Yeah.
01:12:32Chop it.
01:12:42Hey, did you see two or three shots of vanilla in this here Parisian clip?
01:12:50I guess it don't make no difference.
01:13:02Don't marry a nice writer, go to be married.
01:13:09You're telling me?
