00:00♪♪
00:29♪♪
00:44♪♪
00:56Yellow truck, two drivers, green running lights.
01:00♪♪
01:11Honey.
01:12Oh, honey.
01:16Sorry I'm late, Peggy.
01:18Been waiting long?
01:19No, we just finished packing and the maid's gone home.
01:21I really haven't had time to worry about your being late.
01:23But you might say you missed me just a little.
01:26Well, just a little.
01:30Oh, I was doing a little shopping this afternoon and thought you might like this.
01:34Oh, Jim.
01:36A diamond bracelet.
01:38Like it?
01:41Mr. Mallory, you have a good lecture coming to you for being such a spendthrift.
01:45Lavishing costly gifts like this on a woman and your wife, too.
01:48But you do like it, don't you?
01:50Oh, of course I like it.
01:52What woman wouldn't?
01:53Put it on.
01:54I'm going to wear it tonight even if it doesn't go with these clothes.
01:58Oh, but Jim, I'm really sincere when I tell you not to be so generous with me.
02:02We can't afford it yet.
02:03Oh, sure we can afford it.
02:05My trucking business is getting better every month.
02:07Before long I'll be able to buy more trucks, branch out.
02:09Honey, I tell you, business is good.
02:12But I've been reading about those gangs out on the roads taking trucks.
02:15Suppose they did that to your trucks.
02:16Wouldn't that ruin your business?
02:17Now, don't you worry your pretty little head about those things.
02:20It isn't the truck owners, honey, that it hurts.
02:22It's the bonding people, the insurance companies.
02:25They've been hit pretty hard.
02:27But so far I've been lucky.
02:29I can't expect even your luck to last all this.
02:37That's all the information I can give you now.
02:40I'll call you later.
02:42Yes.
02:47You fellas weren't very successful with this assignment.
02:49Not yet.
02:50I sent that truck out as bait.
02:52Gave you two armed detectives to drive it.
02:54A fast car to follow it.
02:55So you'll be on hand when they try to grab it.
02:57But we did get the truck back.
02:58I set a perfect trap.
03:00And the best you can report is we lose both our detective drivers.
03:03And the hijackers get away with our truck right under your very nose.
03:06By the time we caught up with the mob, they were heading it off with our truck.
03:09Both our drivers have been killed.
03:10We chased them, but they abandoned the load and got away.
03:12So, after laying this elaborate and surefire trap, the only thing you bring back is the bait.
03:17We still got a chance.
03:19Our drivers were approached by a girl in the lunchroom.
03:21When they left, she went right to a phone booth.
03:23When she came out, I had her picked up.
03:24Her call went to the private line in the trucking office.
03:27What trucking office?
03:28Here you are, Mr. Howard.
03:31Why, it couldn't be.
03:32Which might prove that his trucking business is just a front for his hijacking work.
03:37Well, that's reason enough to pick him up for questioning.
03:39And just in case this fellow is your man, you'd better be prepared for trouble.
03:44Take Leonard along with you.
03:45Oh, but Mr. Howard, I figure I'm going to the hospital.
03:48The doctor said our baby might be born tonight.
03:50As soon as you make this arrest, you can run along to the hospital.
03:52Sure, as soon as we make the arrest, I can bring him down to the station myself.
03:55Oh, swell, Steve, thanks.
03:56My wife certainly will appreciate that.
03:58See, I promised to be with her when our son is born.
04:01It's our first.
04:03Yes?
04:04You're Mrs. Mallory?
04:05Yes.
04:06We're looking for Jim Mallory, your husband.
04:08Well, Mr. Mallory is very busy.
04:10We're just leaving on a trip.
04:11Well, I guess you'll see us all right.
04:13You tell him Burke and Mort are here.
04:15We've got to see him right away.
04:16Well, come in.
04:18I'll tell him.
04:33Jim.
04:34Yes?
04:35Jim, two men are here to see you.
04:36One of them seems to be hurt.
04:37They said you'd know them, Burke and Mort.
04:40Oh, yes.
04:41Yeah, they're two of my drivers.
04:43Fill it up for me, will you, honey?
04:44I won't be a minute.
04:50What's the matter?
04:51Mort's hurt.
04:52Well, you didn't have to bring him here.
04:53I couldn't take him to a hospital with a bullet in his arm.
04:55So we've been hijacked, huh?
04:57Well, darling, I guess you were right.
04:59My luck has changed.
05:02Take him up to my room.
05:09Now, don't worry, dear.
05:10He's not badly hurt.
05:11Well, why not take him to the hospital?
05:13There's a good reason, Peggy.
05:14We'll have to take care of him here.
05:17I'm sorry about that trip.
05:18We'll have to take him next weekend.
05:20Oh, I don't mind, Jim, about our weekend being spoiled.
05:22But I don't understand why an injured man
05:24can't be taken to the hospital.
05:26Is there something you're trying to hide?
05:28Yes.
05:29You see, Mort is one of my drivers.
05:31He was shot by hijackers while he was
05:33protecting one of my trucks.
05:34Well, I still don't see what that has to do
05:36with his being brought here.
05:37Of course you don't, Peggy.
05:38But it's like this.
05:40I can't afford to have it known that I've been hijacked.
05:42Once it gets out, the insurance rates on my truck
05:44cargoes will go sky high.
05:45It's better for me to take the loss on one truck
05:47than let the insurance company know that I've
05:49been picked on by hijackers.
05:50But what if he dies?
05:51Oh, he won't die.
05:53Now, you run along and get a basin of hot water
05:55and some bandages.
05:56I'll take care of him.
05:57But you don't know how.
06:12This is Mallory's place.
06:13Hope he's in.
06:14I hope so.
06:15I don't want to lose any time getting
06:17on my wife at the hospital.
06:23What are you jumping on me for?
06:25Quiet.
06:26Get in there.
06:34Boys, you're through.
06:36I can't use you anymore.
06:37Well, we got the truck all right,
06:39but we had to dump it and run.
06:40I knew better than to leave him out
06:41where he might be picked up.
06:42Hey, will you fellas cut out your yapping
06:43and do a little figuring where I'm going to hide out?
06:45All right, but keep your mouth shut around here.
06:47My wife says the only thing about this business.
06:51And all the fool things to do.
06:53How'd you bungle the job?
06:54Well, maybe we didn't do all the bungling.
06:56That truck you picked for us was red hot.
06:58Why, the drivers were even cops,
06:59with a car full of them trailing us.
07:01How do you know they were cops?
07:02That's right, boss.
07:03We wouldn't have jumped him if we'd known who they were.
07:05We didn't see him.
07:06Imagine if we'd cracked the second one.
07:07You mean you killed two cops?
07:10Well, Mark, we're going to have to take you someplace else.
07:12I'm not taking any chances of the cops
07:13cracking down on this house.
07:15Not with my wife here.
07:17Why not?
07:18This is as good as any place for a hideout.
07:20Suppose we take them up to your cabin.
07:23Nothing to it.
07:38There are a couple of smart guys, all right,
07:40parking that car of yours out in front of my house.
07:42There's a couple of cops out there now looking it over.
07:44We're sure in a jam.
07:46Say, that car's been driven a long ways and fast, too.
07:49The motor's still hot.
07:50Oh, Jim, there are two men out in front
07:52jamming that car.
07:53Yes, yes, I know.
07:54I just saw them.
07:55Must be a couple of those hijackers.
07:56They don't like what Burke and Mort did to them.
07:58I guess they're coming here to talk to me.
08:00Well, shall I call the police?
08:01No, it's too late for the police to help us now.
08:03We've got to help ourselves this time.
08:06Listen, honey, you go out the back way
08:08and get the car in the driveway and keep it there,
08:10and we'll be right with you.
08:11Now hurry.
08:17There's a pool of blood in there and a bullet hole.
08:20Well, that proves I did hit one of them.
08:21Proves more than that.
08:22Proves there's more than just Mallory in there.
08:24There's at least one other man.
08:26Maybe we'd better get help.
08:27Oh, wait, Steve.
08:28Let's don't do that.
08:29We can take him ourselves.
08:30That would mean a promotion.
08:31With my wife in the hospital, I could use a raise in pay.
08:34I can use one, too.
08:35Maybe that new kid of yours can use a father, too.
08:37Oh, but Steve, we've done it before without asking for help.
08:40Well, one of us better go around the back way.
08:42OK.
08:43I'll take the front.
08:44Don't waste any time getting around there.
08:47Mort, you fellows go back in there.
08:49I'll stall until she gets the car.
09:04Well, what can I do for you?
09:05Your name Mallory?
09:06Yeah.
09:17Just a minute, sister.
09:18Where do you think you're going?
09:21Stop this car!
09:26You'll spend your weekend in jail, huh?
09:28Come on, put him out.
09:34Let's go.
09:46Let's go.
10:09Any news from the wife yet?
10:11Now, don't worry.
10:12I've got a call into the hospital.
10:14She'll be here any minute now.
10:24There's a gentleman out in the hall to see you.
10:26A Mr. Howard.
10:28Thanks.
10:35Hello, Howard.
10:36Any improvement in Leonard's condition?
10:38None.
10:39And with his wife in the hospital expecting a baby, he keeps asking about her all the time.
10:42That's all that's keeping him alive.
10:43I just came from the hospital.
10:45A baby was born.
10:47It's a boy.
10:48Eight pounds.
10:49Oh, that's great.
10:50How's his wife?
10:51All right.
10:53Only she keeps asking for Leonard.
10:56We'd better tell her.
10:57Wait.
10:59If Leonard should die,
11:01you and I are going to have a tough time keeping his wife from knowing for a while.
11:05How did you explain to her why he can't be with her?
11:08I told her he was out on a case for me.
11:11If you want to see him, you'd better come in now.
11:27Well, pal.
11:29Little Steve's here.
11:32Oh, swell.
11:36Eight pounds.
11:38Eight pounds.
11:40Hurry in now.
11:46How's my wife?
11:47She's fine.
11:49You won't let her know about me.
11:52Not the way she is.
11:54She thinks you're out on a case.
12:00Steve.
12:01Yeah.
12:03Couldn't I see my boy?
12:06Just once?
12:08Only for a second.
12:11I wonder if that could be arranged.
12:14Well, at least it's worth trying.
12:26Are you going to see your boy?
12:28Tom?
12:30Tom!
12:37He's gone.
12:41He'll never see his boy.
12:47If that Mallory woman hadn't knocked me off that car, this wouldn't have happened.
12:53If it takes the rest of my days, I'll find her.
13:10I'll find her.
13:30I can see now why you were never worried about losing your trucks to the hijackers.
13:33I tried to operate an honest trucking business at first, but it couldn't be done.
13:37Then why didn't you let me know what you were doing?
13:39I could have decided not to be the wife of a criminal.
13:41That's exactly what I was afraid of, Peggy.
13:43If you found out about it, that I'd lose you.
13:45You knew I had to learn it sometime.
13:48I thought I'd make enough to quit before then.
13:51If I hadn't been sucker enough to fall for that baited truck,
13:54I could have bought you the world with a gold fence around it.
13:56You weren't thinking very much of me into driving that car after you shot a man.
14:00I didn't shoot him.
14:01Well, I didn't either.
14:03But because I drove the car when you escaped, I'm wanted for murder.
14:06And that makes me a part of your gang.
14:09I'm going to tell them I never was a part of it, and I never will be.
14:14Oh, sweetheart, if you weren't a part of it, you couldn't be with me now.
14:16But there's nothing you can do about it.
14:18They'll never believe you, and you'll just spend the rest of your life in prison.
14:20Listen, sweetheart.
14:22I got plenty of money from this racket that I put aside.
14:24We can take it and go and live abroad.
14:26We can live swell till all this blows over, and...
14:28I can buy you all the things I've always wanted you to have.
14:30And we can live respectably.
14:32Thanks, Jim.
14:33But that isn't my idea of respectability.
14:37You've changed your mind about that, Peggy.
14:39You're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you, Jim?
14:41You bet.
14:42And when Mort and Bert get here with the doc,
14:44I'll... I'll get on my feet again in a few days, and we can get out of here.
14:49How do you plan to keep the doctor from telling the police when he leaves here?
14:53I don't have to let him leave here.
14:56If you bring a doctor here to save your life, and then kill him,
15:00no matter what it means to me, I'll give myself up and testify against you.
15:05I believe you would.
15:08Well, nothing will happen to him if he does what he's told.
15:11Then...
15:12Then you won't kill him.
15:15No.
15:18Now, listen, I want you to stay out of the room till the doc gets to working on me.
15:20When it's all over, I'll... I'll call for you.
15:35All right, all right, get busy.
15:45Clear that away.
15:48Too bad to get you out of a warm bed so late at night.
15:51I'm used to that.
15:53Only most of my patients don't go about it quite the same way as these men here.
15:57Well, I'm sorry to bother you.
15:59I've got to get back to work.
16:01I told him not to take any chances.
16:03How long ago were you shot?
16:05Two days. Why?
16:07That just tallies with what I've been reading in the newspapers.
16:10Meaning what?
16:11You're Jim Mallory.
16:15Where's the woman?
16:17If you're referring to my wife, none of your business.
16:19Well, just natural curiosity to see a woman of her kind.
16:23All right, doc, cut out the gab and get to work.
16:25All right, doc, cut out the gab and get to work.
16:28Hey, don't use that.
16:30I want to know what's going on.
16:32If I'm going to operate, I'll do it my way.
16:35All right, but don't use that hypodermic.
16:37In your hands, that needle could be worse than a gun.
16:40And I'm not taking any chances.
16:42Uh, Mort here will see that you don't try any funny business.
16:48And if I'm responsible for what happens,
16:50I'm not taking any chances on your twitching while I'm operating.
16:54If I'm responsible for what happens,
16:56I'm not taking any chances on your twitching while I'm operating.
17:00That would be too dangerous.
17:03And it'll be dangerous for you, doc, if I don't come out of this.
17:06If anything happens to me, they'll bury us both together.
17:09Don't worry. I want you to live.
17:12So they can hang you.
17:24Hey.
17:55Hey, doc.
17:58Don't you think it's about time he came out of it?
18:01Are you sure you didn't try anything funny?
18:06Is that you, Mort?
18:08Yeah, boss.
18:10How do you feel?
18:12Boy, that doc sure can put a guy to sleep.
18:15What time is it?
18:17Broad daylight, 7 o'clock.
18:19Yeah?
18:20Where's the doc?
18:22Where's the doc?
18:24Hey, get in here.
18:26All right.
18:30Well, I guess I better take your temperature.
18:33Wait a minute. What do you want?
18:36Would you kindly let me have my thermometer?
18:38What's the matter? Let him have his thermometer.
18:40Well, if I saw what he did to you with that needle,
18:42I'm not letting him get in this bag.
18:45Mort, here.
18:47Ask my wife to come in here with you.
18:49And you better knock before you go in there.
18:55The boys will fix you up something to eat.
18:57Never mind. I'll eat mine at home.
19:00You're going to be awfully hungry by then.
19:03Because you're staying right here until I get on my feet and can travel.
19:06Why, that may not be for days.
19:09Now, how will you have your eggs, doc?
19:11Straight up or over?
19:13I'll have mine boiled.
19:15I'll take them out of the shells myself.
19:18She's not in there. I found this notice for you.
19:27Hey, give me a lift.
19:29What's the matter, boss? What's up?
19:32Take it easy. We're packing up and going to find her.
19:35You better. She'll be picked up in no time.
19:37It won't take them long to make her talk.
19:39If you take my advice, she'll let her go instead of throwing us all in jail.
19:42If I want your advice, I'll ask for it.
19:44If I can't find her, I'll have to break into jail to get her.
19:47All right, boys, come on.
19:49Get the doc in the other room there and tie him up. Come on, get going.
19:52Doc, I'm sorry to have to do this, but we'll...
19:55We'll let somebody know where you are as soon as we're in a safe place.
19:58You won't get very far in the condition you're in.
20:00Come on.
20:14Come on.
20:16Come on.
20:43Why don't you listen to me?
20:45Stop this arguing with me. When my mind is made up, it's made up.
20:48When I say I quit, I quit.
20:52And you needn't bang my satchel around like that and bust everything in it either.
20:56I'm pretty good to drive you down to the railroad station.
20:59I should have let you walk the whole ten miles and lug the bag yourself.
21:02You're the third cook that's quit in a month.
21:04I never would have taken the job in the first place
21:06if they'd told me it was ten miles back in the wilderness.
21:09What difference does that make as long as you're getting paid for cooking?
21:12It makes a lot of difference when you're lonesome
21:14and don't get to see anybody to talk to for days.
21:16Oh, phooey!
21:18And I say to you...
21:20Oh, pardon me.
21:22What are you going to do about getting a new cook?
21:24Why?
21:25Well...
21:26You don't know Orrin Gevlin, do you?
21:27I'd like the job.
21:29You mean you're a cook?
21:30Well, I can cook, and I need work.
21:33You want this job after what she said about it?
21:35It can't be any worse than the place I just left.
21:38As a matter of fact, this is a swell job.
21:40And you'll be working for a swell boss.
21:42I kind of think the food will taste better to them when you cook it.
22:00Pretty classy, huh?
22:02Oh, it's lovely.
22:03But why does he want such a beautiful place so far away from everybody?
22:06That's just the reason.
22:07To get away from people that drive him crazy.
22:09You mean he never has any visitors?
22:11No one ever comes up here.
22:13He never lets anyone know when he's coming outside of me.
22:16Say, you ain't going to quit in that account, are you?
22:19I'll get you a company.
22:21Oh, no.
22:22I just as least not have very many people to cook for.
22:24Good.
22:26Um...
22:27What does he do?
22:28Paint, pictures for magazines, advertising, and things like that.
22:32When he arrives tomorrow, how long will he stay?
22:35Oh, maybe a week, maybe a month.
22:37You never can tell what he might do.
22:40There's your room up there.
22:41Pretty classy, too.
22:44And I need, too.
22:45Would you mind slinging me together some ham and eggs?
22:48All right.
22:49Scrambled, huh?
22:50What's your name?
22:51Red.
22:52All right, Red.
22:58What?
23:01What's the matter, huh?
23:04Hiya, boss.
23:06I thought I told you not to bring any women up here.
23:08I, uh...
23:10We didn't expect you until tomorrow.
23:12Yeah, I can see you didn't.
23:14Oh.
23:15This is the new cook.
23:16I had to give her one the last one quit.
23:20A cook, huh?
23:21Uh-huh.
23:22Well, hurry up and get me some food.
23:24I want a rubdown before dinner.
23:28Who gives you the rubdown?
23:30I do that.
23:31I take care of him, drive his car,
23:33and when we're in town, I'm his valet, too.
23:36Now hurry and get some food, baby,
23:38and make it the best meat you ever cooked.
23:40Say, uh...
23:42You sure you can cook?
23:44Oh, yeah.
23:48...on the great hunt for Mallory.
23:50A bulletin has just been phoned in
23:52by the sheriff of Greene County.
23:54A car believed to have been used by Mallory's wife
23:56in her desperate escape from her husband's hideout
23:59tonight was located just off a highway
24:02in one of the county's loneliest sections.
24:04Police were combing the district tonight
24:06in a quick move to locate
24:08the female fugitive's place of hiding.
24:10That's all for tonight.
24:12We'll be on the air again tomorrow morning
24:14with the latest developments of this sensational case.
24:17Good night.
24:21If our men can pick up Mrs. Mallory,
24:23it'll be only a matter of time till we have our hands on him.
24:26As far as I can gather,
24:28he's crazy enough about her to fight through anything to get to her.
24:31You're right, and we can take advantage of that.
24:33All we'd have to do is set an ambush with his wife as bait.
24:36Mallory and the rest of his gang would walk right into it.
24:39And I want to be there when they do.
24:54Oh.
24:55Where is she?
24:56She's up in her room.
24:57Red, that girl is not a cook.
24:59I watched you at dinner and did you eat.
25:01And what I ate tasted good, too.
25:03I didn't say the food wasn't good. You heard me.
25:05I said she's not a cook and never was one.
25:07I've never seen you in better spirits.
25:09You even forgot to drink your after-dinner brandy.
25:11Stop your gibbering, Red. You know what I'm talking about.
25:14You noticed it, too.
25:15Noticed what?
25:16She had trouble remembering what her name was.
25:20But I, uh, thought that the...
25:22You can't think.
25:23Now I'll find out about her.
25:28Come in.
25:31I'd like to...
25:36Oh, so you're reading philosophy, eh?
25:38Oh, I didn't just notice exactly what it was.
25:41How do you like it?
25:42It's much too deep for me.
25:44That's Schopenhauer.
25:45He tells the truth about women.
25:47Do you good to read it?
25:49I'm afraid I couldn't understand it.
25:51No woman wants to.
25:53He's the kind of man who doesn't like to read.
25:55No woman wants to.
25:57He's the philosopher that tells about the deadliness of a female.
26:00He tells of their cunningness to express an innocence
26:04when lying in the interest of a cause.
26:07Why don't you read Nietzsche?
26:09Huh?
26:10He says that dreadful experiences may raise a question
26:13whether he who experiences them is not something dreadful also.
26:16Very good.
26:17Why should women despise Schopenhauer?
26:19After all, he teaches them how to beat men at their own game.
26:21What's the matter, then, Stung?
26:26You might find it quite helpful to read more Aristotle or Roger Bacon.
26:30Just why are you masquerading as a servant?
26:32What's your racket?
26:33Racket?
26:34Did that hit home?
26:36My racket is cooking.
26:37Well, if you're a cook, I'm a crooner.
26:40Well, maybe you are a crooner. Did you ever try it?
26:42I'm an artist.
26:43Definitely?
26:44Definitely.
26:45But not knowing what you are,
26:46you'd better pack your things and I'll do my own cooking.
26:48Well, you'll have to eat it.
26:51Oh.
26:52I'm sorry, Mrs. Bannister, but he isn't here.
26:57Yes, I thought he would be.
27:06Hello, Mrs. Bannister.
27:08Hello, Claire.
27:09Well, this is an unexpected pleasure.
27:14Well, we never know what's going to happen.
27:18Well, we never dreamed you'd have company.
27:22Oh, uh, Mrs. Bannister, this is, uh...
27:25This is Miss...
27:26Anne Williams.
27:27Oh, yes, Anne. This is Mrs. Bannister and her daughter.
27:30How do you do?
27:31How do you do?
27:33Oh, please.
27:36Do you care for some coffee?
27:37Love it.
27:38Oh, and some coffee, if you don't mind.
27:41Yes.
27:42Please, if you don't mind.
27:44What should one do for a meal?
27:46Salam to her.
27:47Do you want a meal?
27:48Of course not, silly.
27:49I merely marvel that the well-known woman-dodger should be so considerate of his servant.
27:58You know, when we didn't find you at the studio, I said,
28:00Claire, he'll be up in his lodge.
28:03So you were.
28:04And here we are.
28:06Oh, you naughty boy.
28:09The idea of running away and not inviting us.
28:12Well, it doesn't seem to have been necessary.
28:15What's that?
28:16And here you are, alone and forlorn.
28:18Forlorn, but not alone.
28:27Cream.
28:29Sugar?
28:30No.
28:33Mrs. Bannister?
28:34No.
28:39Oh, perhaps you'd prefer tea.
28:41And why should I prefer tea?
28:43Oh, pardon, ma'am.
28:44I thought on account of your heart.
28:46Oh, how do you know about my heart?
28:48Well, I worked for a doctor once.
28:50You can tell by the color of the eye.
28:52Oh.
28:53Oh, there.
28:54Now, Claire, you see, everybody notices it.
28:57Oh, dear, I knew we shouldn't have come.
28:59Can't stand this altitude.
29:01Oh, dear.
29:02Oh, would you excuse me if I lie down?
29:05Yes, the guest room is to the left.
29:07Oh, thank you.
29:08You brought your luggage, of course.
29:10Oh, yes, we did.
29:11Oh, you see, we were going to...
29:13Claire, where were we going?
29:14Right here.
29:15Oh, yes, of course.
29:18Oh, dear.
29:21Sweet of you to invite us.
29:24Red, bring in the lady's luggage.
29:29I've already got it.
29:32I hope I didn't say anything wrong, ma'am.
29:34I doubt if you could ever say anything wrong.
29:39May I?
29:42Not exactly a cookbook, is it?
29:44Oh, that, I, uh...
29:46You see, I was just trying to interest her in philosophy,
29:49and we were discussing Schopenhauer, Aristotle,
29:52Roger Bacon, and others.
29:54How amazing.
29:55A philosophic cook.
29:56Aristotle with the orange juice,
29:58Schopenhauer with the toast,
30:00and Roger Bacon with the eggs.
30:02You know, it's a relief to occasionally find
30:04a woman who can listen.
30:06How long has she been listening?
30:08How long has she been listening?
30:10Retired her today.
30:11Not so bad for the first day.
30:13See here, Claire.
30:14And what about it?
30:15You run out on me, you dodge me for weeks
30:16until I'm terribly hurt and sick and worried
30:18wondering what I've said or done to you.
30:20Why couldn't you have told me there was someone else
30:22in that virtuous heart of Bruce Dunning?
30:24More coffee, ma'am.
30:26No thank you, ma'am.
30:36You know, you're swell.
30:39It's so nice to be appreciated.
30:42Sir?
30:54...Jim Mallory and his wife,
30:56after the notorious hijacking and murder gang,
30:58today rescued a country doctor kidnapped by the fugitives.
31:01Acting on a mysterious telephone tip,
31:03officers raided a secluded mountain cabin
31:05only to find the Mallories and their confederates had vanished.
31:08Dr. Richardson, who had been kidnapped
31:10the night previously by Mallory,
31:11was found shackled in the cabin.
31:13The doctor gave a hair-raising account
31:15of his experiences while a captive.
31:17He had been forced to perform an operation
31:19on the seriously wounded Mallory
31:21and had been threatened with death
31:23should the operation fail.
31:24Mallory's wife, according to the doctor,
31:26deserted the gang during the night
31:27and fled in one of their stolen cars.
31:29Mallory, on discovering her flight,
31:31expressed his grim determination to find her
31:33despite Dunning's warning to him
31:35that an attempt on Mallory's part to travel
31:37in his weakened condition
31:39might cause a relapse and result in death.
31:45Oh.
31:47Oh, I couldn't sleep.
31:49The strange house, you know.
31:50I hope I didn't disturb you.
31:52You look lovely in that light.
31:54Thanks.
31:56Don't go.
31:58The others...
31:59But I want to know more about you.
32:01I'm afraid that wouldn't be very interesting
32:03to a man of your philosophy.
32:04On the contrary.
32:06That's just the artist speaking.
32:08Maybe.
32:09I wish I had the ability to paint
32:11and catch the beauty of your moods.
32:13Then I'm only an illustrator.
32:16Which reminds me that I'm only a servant
32:19and your guests might resent my forgetting that.
32:21Oh, never mind them.
32:24I want to know more about you.
32:26Who you are.
32:27Where you came from.
32:29Why you suddenly happened into my life
32:31and changed my whole scheme of things.
32:33This doesn't sound very much like Schopenhauer.
32:35Must we go into that again?
32:37You don't hold that against me, do you?
32:42Mr. Dunning,
32:43what time do you want your breakfast tomorrow?
32:45What?
32:48I want you to press these for me tonight.
32:50Yes, sir.
32:51Must it be done tonight, Claire?
32:53Can it wait until morning?
32:54I want to wear them in the morning.
32:56That is, if you can spare her long enough to iron them for me.
32:58I'll be glad to do them for you.
33:14Well?
33:17Well?
33:21Thanks for paying a little attention to me.
33:23No, that was being pretty crude to her.
33:25I think she showed by far the best manners.
33:28Bruce, you know I'm pretty understanding about most matters.
33:31But aren't you being unusually attentive to a servant?
33:35I thought that I ought to apologize to her
33:37for some of the incidents that happened earlier this evening.
33:39Of course, Mother and I were late in arriving,
33:41so I don't know what occurred to necessitate an apology.
33:44It's because my guests failed to see
33:46that Miss Williams is not an ordinary servant.
33:48I'd have to be blind not to see that.
33:50Who is that woman, and how does she happen to be here?
33:52I think I told you all I know about her.
33:54Red hired her and brought her up here.
33:56So far, she's proved quite acceptable and very intelligent.
33:59Intelligent? So has reached that stage.
34:01That's more than you've ever recognized in any woman.
34:03Now, see here, Claire, you're becoming impossible.
34:05Before I allow this to become a common brawl,
34:07I think I'll ask you to excuse me.
34:09If it weren't so late, I'd insist on leaving here tonight.
34:12I'll take you.
34:13You can take us in the morning.
34:14Just as you wish, Claire.
34:16Good night.
34:35Will you let me have my dress, please?
34:37Well, I haven't pressed it yet.
34:38And why not?
34:39Do you generally obey orders at your own convenience?
34:41No, but I thought I'd press it the first thing in the morning
34:43before you were up.
34:45Miss Williams, or whatever your name is,
34:47I don't think you're a servant at all.
34:49At least you lack the manner of a well-trained servant.
34:52I'm the cook here.
34:54Well, if you're like all the other cooks I've ever known,
34:56you might not be averse to bettering your condition.
34:59That is, to accept a position that would pay better wages.
35:02Oh, but I really couldn't do that.
35:05And why not?
35:06Because that would necessitate my explaining to Mr. Dunning
35:09that one of his guests tried to bribe me to leave his service.
35:12And besides, I don't think he'd let me go.
35:15You're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?
35:29You've been well enough to travel for days now.
35:33You know, I think you're just stoned for time
35:35to try to find out where your wife is.
35:38Well, I'm not interested in finding her.
35:40I got trouble enough of my own to look out for my own hide.
35:44I'm not like Burke here.
35:46He'll do anything you tell him.
35:49But not me.
35:52That woman of yours ran out when it got too hot.
35:55She wasn't taking any chance on sticking with us.
35:58But you expect us to take a chance on getting caught by looking for her.
36:01And I suppose when you do know where she is,
36:03you expect me to risk my neck to bring her back.
36:05This time I'm telling you what's going to happen.
36:08I'm leaving here tonight.
36:10And I'm going alone.
36:17I'm all through looking for your wife.
36:24You know, that idea has been sneaking up on him
36:27for the last couple of days.
36:31Maybe we'll be better off when we're rid of him.
36:36Mark.
36:48Mark.
36:50Take this with you.
36:57Tell her it's a couple of weeks' wages.
36:59She might not take it from me.
37:01Don't give it to her till after I leave.
37:05Mark.
37:21I hope Bruce doesn't ask his cook to drive to town with us.
37:24Oh, if he tries it, I shall get right out of the car.
37:28It's about time an issue was made out of his association with her.
37:36When...
37:38I've given a great deal of thought about what happened last night.
37:41I'm very sorry for your sake that all this had to come about.
37:44Surely you can see that the attitude of my guests toward you
37:47will be greatly magnified by the time they reach town.
37:50That wouldn't do you any good.
37:54I'm sorry.
37:56I'm sorry.
37:58I'm sorry.
38:00I'm sorry.
38:02That wouldn't do you any good.
38:04I'm sure you'll understand.
38:06Yes.
38:08That doesn't mean that I'm not to see you again.
38:10Wherever you go, I want you to get in touch with me at my studio.
38:14You will, won't you?
38:16Yes.
38:18Promise?
38:20I promise.
38:32I promise.
38:56And that, folks, brings us to the next important news item of the day.
39:00James Mallory, slayer and hijacker, was killed last night
39:03ten miles west of Centerville
39:05when a passenger train crashed into the automobile which he was driving.
39:09Positive identification was made from personal papers
39:12found on the body of Mallory.
39:15Police today were pressing a relentless search for Mallory's wife,
39:18who was a fugitive on charges of murder committed by the hijacking gang.
39:23The woman last week engineered her husband's escape from police
39:27by driving the getaway car through a storm of bullets.
39:30Her capture is expected momentarily.
39:38They're on their way.
39:39The boss was sure sorry that Dame and her mother got so snooty and made them leave.
39:44I could tell he wanted to stay.
39:48He said to give you this.
39:50Oh, I can't take that.
39:52Here, take it.
39:54Oh, but I haven't earned it, Red.
39:56That's for a couple of weeks' wages,
39:58because you lost this job without notice.
40:01And he said I'm to drive you wherever you want to go.
40:03Where's your bag?
40:05Oh, but, Red, I have nowhere to go.
40:09Well, why can't I stay here?
40:11You can close the place up and I'll get a lot of rest.
40:14You don't want to stay up here all alone.
40:16Oh, but I do.
40:17That's just what I want to do.
40:20Yeah.
40:21Why not, if you want to?
40:23The boss will never find out.
40:25Don't you dare tell him.
40:26No, I'll never tell him.
40:28But, uh, what will you do when you're alone?
40:31Oh, well, I'll do a lot of reading and I have the radio.
40:36Yeah, I like the radio, too.
40:39You can turn it on, and when you don't want to listen, you can turn it off.
40:43Well, I'd better get going.
40:46And, Red, thanks for everything you've done for me.
40:50Oh, it ain't nothing.
40:54Goodbye.
40:55Goodbye, Red.
41:01Hey, when do we get out of here?
41:03As soon as I get some idea where my wife is.
41:05Ain't that taking chances?
41:07I mean, for you and me.
41:09That's what Mort always said.
41:11But, uh, I wasn't thinking about myself.
41:14I was worrying about you.
41:15I'll do my own worrying.
41:19That's the end of Mallory.
41:21Howard, that's exactly what Mallory wanted us to think.
41:24You mean there's a chance it wasn't him?
41:27That wasn't Mallory's body any more than it was yours or mine.
41:30But you viewed it at the morgue and fully identified it.
41:33Whose body do you think it was?
41:35After that train got through with it, it might have been anyone.
41:38I wondered how you recognized it so readily.
41:42Quickly.
41:43And you can chalk up another murder to my recognition.
41:46And you can chalk up another murder to my record.
41:48All right, Sheriff.
41:49That automobile was nearly stalled at the only railroad crossing
41:52where an engineer couldn't see it in time to stop.
41:55The automobile headlights were turned off.
41:57And Mallory figured we'd never be able to recognize that body.
42:01You remember he carried off the doctor's surgical instruments.
42:04We'd better let the newspapers know that Mallory's still alive.
42:07Oh, no. No, we won't.
42:09That cock and bull story I gave the reporters was for a purpose.
42:12To let Mallory think his plan worked.
42:14He figured his trick would call off the police.
42:16After he thinks we swallowed it, he'll come out in the open to find his wife.
42:20And that's where I'm going to be.
42:23Sounds all right.
42:25I hope it works.
42:27Ann? Ann? It's Red.
42:50Oh, Red.
42:51Hello, Ann.
42:52Did anyone come with you?
42:53Nope.
42:54Well, why are you here? Did Mr. Dunning send you?
42:56Nope.
42:57Well, did he know you were coming?
42:58Nope.
42:59Red, must I leave here?
43:01Nope.
43:02Well, is there anything wrong?
43:04Nope.
43:05Red, will you please tell me why you came up here?
43:06Yeah.
43:07Well, out with it.
43:08Well, after a whole week, I figured you'd be all out of food.
43:12So I brought you some.
43:14Oh, Red.
43:15That was a lovely thing for you to do.
43:17Aw, it ain't nothing.
43:21I figured you'd be all out of food and you might get hungry.
43:24Maybe you're hungry.
43:25Would you like me to fix you something to eat?
43:26Not me.
43:27I could get right back to town before the boss misses me.
43:30He's been in a bad humor all week.
43:32Why?
43:33What's the matter?
43:34Anything serious?
43:35No.
43:36I guess not.
43:37Maybe you know how painters act.
43:39Ever since we went back to town, he just sits at the studio all the time.
43:43Paints pictures all day long.
43:45Then tears them up.
43:46And starts all over again.
43:48I ain't never seen him act like this before.
43:50Has Miss Bannister been around much?
43:53Yeah, she came to the studio one day and caught him painting those pictures.
43:57And got awful snooty and flew out of my house.
44:00Like she always does.
44:01And banged the door.
44:03But he went right back to painting pictures again.
44:06What kind of pictures is he painting?
44:08I got one.
44:09I grabbed it when he wasn't looking.
44:11I thought maybe you'd like to see it.
44:18Why, this is a picture of me.
44:20It's a good one too, isn't it?
44:21That's why I brought it to you.
44:23But I didn't pose for it.
44:25I guess that's why he's acting so funny.
44:27He's trying to paint you from memory.
44:29I caught him sitting for a whole hour trying to figure how you looked in a certain way.
44:41Hello.
44:43How do you do?
44:45We didn't expect you.
44:48I can see you didn't.
44:50Well, hurry up and get me some food.
44:52And I want a rubdown before dinner.
44:54Who gives him the rubdown?
44:56I do that.
44:57I take care of him and when we're in town, I...
45:00I told you all that before.
45:03Oh, I get it, it's a gag.
45:05Get out.
45:07You mean me?
45:08Yes, you.
45:09Oh.
45:21Now, now that I see you again,
45:24this doesn't begin to do you justice.
45:29Have you been up here all this time?
45:32And you let me struggle along trying to sketch you from memory.
45:36Young lady, you have a lot of explanations to make.
45:43Perhaps I have.
45:46Perhaps I have.
45:49Oh, boy, that's where a pretty face like hers belongs.
45:55So she's posing for a commercial artist, huh?
45:57Yeah, well, how are you going to find her when you just got a picture?
46:00You're carrying a photograph in your pocket.
46:02Bet that don't tell you who she is now.
46:04Oh, you dumb slug.
46:05Don't you suppose some smart detective will see this too?
46:07He'll recognize her, he'll know who she is.
46:09Then all he has to do is trace her through the magazine people to find out who the artist is that painted this.
46:13But suppose she ain't there.
46:15Yeah, but I'm afraid she might be.
46:18If the cops get there ahead of us...
46:22She doesn't know how to take care of herself and she never would have posed for this.
46:26Maybe the cops put a picture in that magazine so she'd go there.
46:29You're getting dumber every day we stay here.
46:33Probably a good thing I'm getting you out of here before you find yourself helping the cops.
46:37But just the same, this time I may be right.
46:39How could they set a trap for me when they think I'm dead?
46:41Have you forgotten I was killed by a train?
46:47Come on.
46:48We're gonna find her.
46:53Can you tell me when the artist will return to the city?
46:56No, thanks.
46:57That won't be necessary.
46:59Now, no message.
47:00I'm afraid my name wouldn't mean anything to Mr. Dunning.
47:03Now, goodbye.
47:06Well, that locates the artist.
47:08Just a chance that Mallory may have seen this picture of his wife.
47:11That's exactly what I'm hoping.
47:13I'm not taking chances on anybody botching this case.
47:16I'm taking charge of it personally and laying my wires before Mallory can get to her.
47:20Careful.
47:21Don't walk into anything.
47:22And good luck to you, Roberts.
47:24Getting Mallory and that wife of his is going to be a great deal of satisfaction.
47:31And while I'm gone, Howard, keep an eye on Julie Leonard and her boy.
47:35Keep an eye on Julie Leonard and her boy?
47:37I will.
47:43Now that your husband's dead,
47:45I know who you are and all the things you're afraid of.
47:48You're going to need all the love and protection I want to give you.
47:52But telling you doesn't free me from all those terrible crimes I'm blamed for.
47:56Yes, but you're not a criminal.
47:58You're only running away from things that other people did.
48:00Bruce, that's all true, but I can't make the police believe that.
48:03Now that I've told you these things, it involves you, too.
48:06They'd say you were harboring a criminal.
48:08I can't accept your protection. I can't even stay here.
48:11Oh, yes, you can.
48:12By remaining here, you'll give me time to prove your innocence.
48:15Now that that's all settled,
48:17will you stop worrying that pretty little head of yours?
48:23Oh, Bruce, you never showed anyone those pictures Red said you painted of me.
48:27Darling, I'd forgotten all about those.
48:29Then you did show them?
48:30Right now, your picture's on the front cover of 100,000 magazines all over the country.
48:34The police can't help seeing it and tracing you.
48:36Oh, what a dumb thing to do.
48:38Oh, Bruce, you didn't know then.
48:40They may be on their way here right now.
48:42Get your things together. I must get you out of here. Let's hurry.
49:00Oh!
49:25Jim!
49:27Peggy, I knew I'd find you.
49:31Oh.
49:34I... I thought you were dead.
49:37Well, that was just a trick to throw the cops off.
49:39I... I forgot you'd think I was dead, too.
49:42Oh, but they may be here any moment.
49:44That picture of me on the magazine.
49:46Yeah, yeah, that's how I found you.
49:50What are you doing?
49:51I... I was just leaving.
49:54Well, that's swell. You can go with me.
49:57Oh, no, Jim. Not with you.
49:59You're not going to get away from me this time.
50:01Well, Bruce, I mean, Mr. Dunning was just getting ready to take me away.
50:06Bruce?
50:07Mr. Dunning, the artist?
50:10Oh.
50:11So that's how it is, huh?
50:13You're not even trying to understand.
50:15I'm just beginning to understand.
50:17You've been up here with him ever since he painted that picture.
50:19Oh, no, you're wrong. I didn't pose for that. He did it from memory.
50:23Oh.
50:24Oh, he drew it from memory, huh?
50:26You mean to tell me a guy can paint that picture from memory with...
50:29He's in love with you.
50:31You're in love with him.
50:33Well, you didn't wait very long after you thought I was dead, did you?
50:36He was only trying to help me.
50:38That's a funny way to help you.
50:39Picture on a magazine cover for every cop in the country to see and find you?
50:42He didn't know who I was then.
50:44Oh.
50:45But he does now, huh?
50:47Yes.
50:48I explained everything to him.
50:50You might explain to him that your husband is here.
50:53Alive.
50:54Oh, Jim, what are you going to do?
50:56I'm going to walk you into that room and you're going to tell him who I am.
50:59There's nothing he can do about it.
51:01Oh, no, you're not.
51:02I won't let you.
51:09Are you ready, darling?
51:11I'm not quite.
51:12You must hurry, dear.
51:15I've changed my mind.
51:17I'm not going.
51:18But you are going.
51:20Oh, don't come in, Bruce.
51:21What's wrong?
51:22Be careful, Bruce. He has a gun.
51:23It's Jim Mallory.
51:25Hi.
51:27So you thought I was dead, too, huh?
51:30Thanks for painting that picture of my wife.
51:32I never would have painted it had I known it would bring you here.
51:34One consolation is that it will bring the police, too.
51:38Yeah.
51:44Yeah.
51:46Thanks for reminding me.
51:48Here, take this. That's all you'll need now.
51:50We'll get the rest of this later.
51:51Just a minute, Mallory.
51:52You ought to know that you can't help her by taking her with you like this.
51:55If you think anything of her, you won't do it.
51:57If you give me half a chance, I'll work to clear her of these charges that are your fault.
52:01They are your fault.
52:03She is innocent, isn't she?
52:04Supposing she is.
52:06What business is that of yours?
52:08She's still my wife.
52:09You're not going to get her into any more jam.
52:11That's enough out of you, Dunning.
52:13Get away from her.
52:15Do you hear me? Get away from her!
52:17Oh!
52:20Oh!
52:21Oh, Bruce!
52:28Are you Bruce Dunning?
52:29That's right.
52:30My name is Roberts. I'm an officer.
52:32I have a warrant for this woman's arrest.
52:34Those aren't necessary, officer.
52:35It's all over, Mrs. Mallory.
52:37Oh, but I didn't know you were an officer.
52:39He said you were a hijacker.
52:41That's right, officer. She told me.
52:43Did she tell you what happened to my partner when he tried to arrest her husband?
52:46Did she tell you how she helped him escape?
52:47Yes, she told me all about it.
52:49Look, officer.
52:50You must have heard part of this man's conversation just before you fired that shot.
52:54Surely that could be used as evidence to clear her.
52:57Well, I'm not here to hold court.
53:00She can explain later on.
53:03You can take her in the other room.
53:14I could have saved you all this tonight
53:16if I hadn't used that picture on that magazine.
53:18You didn't know about it then. It's not your fault.
53:21This had to happen, and I'm almost glad it's over.
53:24Yes, and now I can help you, too.
53:25No.
53:26I don't want you to help me anymore.
53:34How long were you married to that fellow up there?
53:36A little over a year.
53:38He was a good man.
53:40How long were you married to that fellow up there?
53:42A little over a year.
53:43Why?
53:44Funny thing about a bird like that.
53:46He'd kill anybody for his own protection.
53:48And then for the sake of a woman, he'd expose himself to capture
53:50and take a chance like this just to be with her.
53:52Do you recognize that handwriting?
53:54Yes, I wrote that to him when I left him.
53:58That letter and evidence should go a long way toward clearing you in court.
54:07Thanks for the interruption.
54:11Now, now, don't you worry.
54:13Everything will be all right.
54:18Excuse me.
54:19Boss, look at all these magazines with her picture on every one of them.
54:27It's a good one, isn't it?
54:29Take a couple.
54:30No, thanks.
54:31Give them to your friends.
54:41Thoughts for the future.
54:43From now on, smooth sailing.
55:10The End
