00:01:00I want to congratulate you on your record for locating lost accounts, Hanover.
00:01:14You can be proud of it.
00:01:15Thank you, Mr. Lannigan.
00:01:16I do my best.
00:01:17Well, there are some others around here who could take a lesson from you.
00:01:23Send Jimmy Parker in here.
00:01:24This is terrible.
00:01:25Hello, boss.
00:01:26What's a good word?
00:01:28The word isn't good.
00:01:29Sit down.
00:01:30What makes you think you're a skit tracer?
00:01:31Well, because I spend my time chasing skip accounts, I guess.
00:01:32But you don't find them.
00:01:33Twenty accounts last month, and you locate only three of them.
00:01:34But they're a tough one.
00:01:35All skip accounts are tough.
00:01:36That's right.
00:01:37If they weren't, we wouldn't get them.
00:01:38The stores would collect them themselves.
00:01:39Look at Hanover here.
00:01:40You never hear him squawking about tough ones.
00:01:41He's a skit tracer.
00:01:42He's a skit tracer.
00:01:43He's a skit tracer.
00:01:44He's a skit tracer.
00:01:45He's a skit tracer.
00:01:46He's a skit tracer.
00:01:47He's a skit tracer.
00:01:48He's a skit tracer.
00:01:49He's a skit tracer.
00:01:51ever closet.
00:01:52If they weren't, we wouldn't get them.
00:01:53The stores would collect them themselves.
00:01:54Look at Hanover here.
00:01:55You never hear him squawking about tough ones.
00:01:57Of his twenty accounts from last month, he was able to sell eighteen of them.
00:01:58Of his twenty accounts from last month, he was able to sell eighteen of them.
00:01:59He has six chop boxes and oranges for sale.
00:02:02He's a skip tracer.
00:02:03What was that.
00:02:04A crack?
00:02:05I was just different way of talking.
00:02:08Nasty habit.
00:02:11Well, I'm just talking out loud, a nasty habit, Watt.
00:02:15Well, keep your remarks to yourself.
00:02:17There's only one thing that counts around here, results.
00:02:20And you better show me some in the next 30 days,
00:02:22or the firm will try and struggle along without you.
00:02:24You understand?
00:02:25Yes, sir.
00:02:26Say, it's almost 6 o'clock.
00:02:28Is there anything else you want?
00:02:29Oh, yes, yes, there is, if you don't mind.
00:02:32Here are a couple of calls you can make on your way home.
00:02:34They're right in your neighborhood.
00:02:36You mean you want me to do this this evening?
00:02:37Yes, sure.
00:02:39One of these skips is a redhead named Lulu Driscoll.
00:02:41She's been dodging us for three months.
00:02:43When you talk to her, keep your mind on your work.
00:02:45Bring in her radio, or we lose this account,
00:02:47and that's one of our biggest.
00:02:48But I got a date.
00:02:49So what?
00:02:50You got a date with me 30 days from today
00:02:52to show me why I shouldn't fire you.
00:02:54Try mixing a little business with pleasure once in a while.
00:02:57It'll help your record.
00:02:59I'll expect a complete report on these two calls in the morning.
00:03:02OK.
00:03:03Good night, boys.
00:03:04Good night.
00:03:05Good night, Rogan.
00:03:10Hello, Pop.
00:03:11Oh, hello, son.
00:03:20Hey, shut that thing off.
00:03:23I get enough of that all day in the police car
00:03:25without listening to it at night.
00:03:26Aw, gee, Pop.
00:03:27I want to tune in on Daniel.
00:03:29He was swell last night.
00:03:31He even had the mobs around.
00:03:33I want to see if they got away.
00:03:34Turn off that radio.
00:03:36And is it enough that your father is a cop,
00:03:38and the criminals all day without you
00:03:39tuning in a gangster program?
00:03:42Now, shut it off this minute.
00:03:44What's all this fuss about?
00:03:47Aw, gee, Pop.
00:03:48I want me to tune in on Daniel.
00:03:50Oh, you're right, I won't.
00:03:52I get enough of that all day on a short wave.
00:03:55I want to read my paper in peace.
00:03:57Your father's right, Michael.
00:03:59Oh, yeah?
00:04:00I bet he's reading about crime right now.
00:04:03See what they tell you.
00:04:04Movie star Robert Buell.
00:04:08You were reading that, weren't you, Pop?
00:04:11Then I guess you got me, son.
00:04:13I just can't seem to keep away from crime.
00:04:16Who was the movie star, John?
00:04:18Corrine Hill.
00:04:19Now, listen to this.
00:04:21Corrine Hill robbed while sleeping.
00:04:23Wall safe is looted.
00:04:25Jewels valued at $100,000 were stolen last night
00:04:28from a Woodrow Walsh safe in the mansion
00:04:30of glamorous Corrine Hill, motion picture star.
00:04:33Police staffed the robbery, an inside job,
00:04:36and immediately questioned Stephen Brady,
00:04:38popular man about town and badminton expert,
00:04:41said to be Miss Hill's fiance.
00:04:44Brady later was released.
00:04:46John Lawrence, the star's business manager,
00:04:48has posted a reward of $10,000 for the return of the gems.
00:04:52Gee, Pop, why don't you catch the robbers
00:04:54and get the $10,000?
00:04:56Why don't you, huh?
00:04:58It's not as easy as that, son.
00:05:00Why not?
00:05:01If I was a cop, I'd have those criminals in jail in no time.
00:05:05Say, how about burning your badge and your gun?
00:05:09Well, I mean, I could start hunting the criminals tonight,
00:05:12and I'd probably have that $10,000 in the morning.
00:05:15Then I could buy a radio of my own,
00:05:17and I could listen to any program I wanted to.
00:05:19Say, you better stop hunting criminals
00:05:21and get to your homework.
00:05:23You know, if you don't get an education,
00:05:25you'll grow up to be a policeman,
00:05:27just like your father.
00:05:29Well, then I won't do my homework at all.
00:05:31Hey, don't argue with your mother.
00:05:33Get to your studies.
00:05:34All right.
00:05:35But you're just talking $10,000 right out the window.
00:05:38I could catch those criminals.
00:05:42Sweet fish, you're almost ready.
00:05:44Oh, thank you, Michael.
00:05:45That's very sweet of you.
00:05:47Ouch, let go of my ear.
00:05:50How do I look?
00:05:51Oh, you look lovely, dear.
00:05:53Yeah, too pretty to be going out with that Jimmy Parker.
00:05:56Now, Jimmy's a nice boy, John.
00:05:58Yeah.
00:05:59And you better be putting your shoes on before he gets here.
00:06:02What, me?
00:06:03Put my shoes on for a skip tracer?
00:06:05How does he rate so much?
00:06:07Hounding witches and wash women and poor working men
00:06:09when they can't pay their bills.
00:06:11What about yourself?
00:06:12You do a little hounding being a policeman.
00:06:14Besides, Jimmy isn't always going to be a skip tracer.
00:06:16The only thing is, if he finds something better,
00:06:18then we're going to get married.
00:06:20I always said love was like a bee.
00:06:23It would just as soon light on a skunk cabbage
00:06:25as the sweetest rose.
00:06:26John, don't you dare call Jimmy a skunk cabbage.
00:06:29Oh, all right, all right.
00:06:30I'll take back the cabbage.
00:06:32Dad, you're terrible.
00:06:34Oh, there's Jimmy now.
00:06:36And John, you better be putting on your shoes
00:06:38before he gets here.
00:06:39Put them on.
00:06:40Oh, all right.
00:06:42But don't call.
00:06:45Hello, honey.
00:06:46Gee, you look beautiful.
00:06:47You don't like the badge itself?
00:06:49Here's a posy for you.
00:06:50Hope it matches that dress.
00:06:52Let's go in and see the folks.
00:06:53Hello, Mom.
00:06:54Hello, Jimmy.
00:06:56You're looking younger every day.
00:06:58Blarney.
00:06:59You know I'm an old woman.
00:07:00Oh, no kidding.
00:07:01You're as young and beautiful as your daughter.
00:07:03Believe me, that's something.
00:07:05Hello, Pop.
00:07:06How was class?
00:07:07There was too much of it.
00:07:08Don't you dare kiss my hand.
00:07:11Great sense of humor, Pop.
00:07:13He ought to be on the radio.
00:07:15Oh, Pop, you shouldn't go to all that trouble just to me.
00:07:17What trouble?
00:07:18Putting on your shoes.
00:07:19That's too much formality.
00:07:21Just treat me like one of the family.
00:07:23You ready, honey?
00:07:24Good night, Mom.
00:07:25Good night, Jimmy.
00:07:26Good night.
00:07:27I'll be seeing you.
00:07:29He killed me.
00:07:38Take off your coat.
00:07:39What is it?
00:07:40Don't ask so many questions.
00:07:41Take off your coat.
00:07:52Jimmy, where'd you get it?
00:07:54Oh, just a little thing I picked up on the way home.
00:07:56Here, put it on.
00:07:58Look.
00:08:00Genuine Japanese weasel.
00:08:02And it's yours.
00:08:03For tonight, anyway.
00:08:04I don't have to turn it in at the office till the first thing in the morning.
00:08:08Gee, fits you, doesn't it?
00:08:09Oh, it's lovely.
00:08:10But do you think I ought to wear it tonight?
00:08:12Sure, it's perfectly OK.
00:08:13Nobody will know the difference.
00:08:14And if you like it, maybe you'll be owning it.
00:08:16If it isn't redeemed in five days, I can buy it for the balance due.
00:08:20Nothing too good for the future of Mrs. James Parker.
00:08:23How do you like that?
00:08:24I'm afraid I'm going to like it very much.
00:08:26Well, that's settled.
00:08:27Come on.
00:08:32Gee, I feel sorry for the girl who lost her coat.
00:08:35So do I, but it can't be helped.
00:08:37Too many people buy things on the nothing down dollar when you catch them playing.
00:08:40Encourages dead beats and makes liars out of honest people.
00:08:43Don't you feel sorry when you take things away from people who can't pay?
00:08:46We've been all over that before.
00:08:48It's a job until I get something better.
00:08:51Speaking of jobs, I may not have this one very long if I don't get some action.
00:08:54Where are you going?
00:08:55This isn't the way to the coconut grove.
00:08:57I've got a business call first.
00:08:59A business call?
00:09:01Can't we ever have an evening together without a business call?
00:09:04Now, don't you bore me out.
00:09:05The boss did enough of that this afternoon.
00:09:07Besides, I'll have this washed up in five minutes flat.
00:09:10Then we'll be on our way to fun and frivolity.
00:09:12Oh, I'm sorry, Jimmy.
00:09:13I didn't mean to snap at you.
00:09:14Oh, that's all right.
00:09:15I like to hear you pop off like that once in a while.
00:09:17It means we won't battle so much after we're married.
00:09:19That's what you think.
00:09:21Here it goes.
00:09:24Here it goes.
00:09:35Be back in a minute, honey.
00:09:36In the meantime, have some music.
00:09:40There you are, Coconut Grove.
00:09:42Yeah, let's try and get there tonight.
00:09:43And don't let me come back here and catch you dancing with some other guy either.
00:09:46You're a little cramped, don't you think?
00:09:54Sure, I get it, Miss Driscoll.
00:09:56You don't want to see anybody but Ronnie Cartwright.
00:10:00Okay.
00:10:01Nobody else will get past me.
00:10:04Cheerio.
00:10:07Three cheerios for you, handsome.
00:10:09What's on your mind?
00:10:10Would you mind giving Miss Driscoll a bit of a jingle for me?
00:10:13Tell her that Ronald is here.
00:10:15Any last names?
00:10:17Well, quite naturally, my father.
00:10:20She calls me Ronnie.
00:10:23I get it.
00:10:24I'll tell her you're here.
00:10:26No, I just, another thought just occurred to me.
00:10:29I'd rather call again if Miss Driscoll has a bit of a crowd about her.
00:10:33She's alone.
00:10:34The fact is, she's expecting you.
00:10:36Then I shall jolly well go right up.
00:10:38Did they?
00:10:39Yes, they did.
00:10:40I'll tell her.
00:10:41I'll tell her.
00:10:42I'll tell her.
00:10:43I'll tell her.
00:10:44I'll tell her.
00:10:45I'll tell her.
00:10:46I'll tell her.
00:10:47I'll tell her.
00:10:48Did they?
00:10:49Cheerio.
00:10:50Cheerio.
00:10:52Cheerio.
00:11:01Come in, Ronnie.
00:11:02The door is unlocked.
00:11:19Sorry to keep you waiting, Ronnie.
00:11:21What are you doing in my apartment?
00:11:23Oh, hello.
00:11:27Just what was the idea?
00:11:28Now, don't get sore, Miss Driscoll.
00:11:29I knocked on the door and you invited me in.
00:11:31Don't flatter yourself.
00:11:32What do you want?
00:11:33That, or the balance due on it.
00:11:35I'm from Stick Traces Limited.
00:11:39Oh.
00:11:40I thought you were a burglar at first.
00:11:42No, just an honest worker man come to take your radio.
00:11:45Unless you want to pay up on it.
00:11:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:47I'm afraid I can't pay just now.
00:11:49You see, I lost my job about four months ago,
00:11:51and I haven't worked since.
00:11:52I should be able to make a payment very soon, though.
00:11:55I'm sorry, but the radio still has to go.
00:11:57We'll keep it in the warehouse for five days.
00:11:59If you want to redeem it, pay up.
00:12:01You're not going to take my radio.
00:12:03Now, listen, sister.
00:12:04I try to be a gentleman with you,
00:12:05but it looks like you want to make things tough for yourself.
00:12:08You never intended to pay us the balance anyway,
00:12:10and you change your address five times a week.
00:12:12Now that we got you, the radio goes.
00:12:14You can't get away from the law.
00:12:17Oh, so you're John Law.
00:12:20Listen, foreclusher, I know my rights.
00:12:22Now, you get out of here before I call some real law on you.
00:12:25Sing it, sister, but the radio still goes.
00:12:27We'll see about that.
00:12:31Call the police.
00:12:32There's a burglar in my apartment.
00:12:34Hurry up.
00:12:36You come back here.
00:12:37Stop.
00:12:38You've got my radio.
00:12:39You come back here.
00:12:40Stop.
00:12:41You've got my radio.
00:12:42You come back here.
00:12:43Help, police.
00:12:44He's got my radio.
00:12:45Help.
00:12:46Somebody stop him.
00:12:47He's got my radio.
00:12:49Stop him.
00:12:50Stop that thief.
00:12:51He's got my radio.
00:12:52Wait a minute.
00:12:53Wait a minute here.
00:12:54I'm not a thief.
00:12:55I'm an authorized agent of Skip Traces Limited.
00:12:57I'm repossessing her radio.
00:12:58Oh, yeah?
00:12:59Where's your accent?
00:13:00The cops are coming, Miss Driscoll.
00:13:02They'll take care of this imposter.
00:13:04Let's see you cheerio your way out of this one, big boy.
00:13:07You know what the rules are about this thing.
00:13:09Just a minute, June.
00:13:10Informality.
00:13:11I can explain everything.
00:13:12I was dressing, officer, and the doorbell rang.
00:13:14I thought it was a friend of mine, so I called him in.
00:13:16I can explain this whole thing, officer.
00:13:18Shut up.
00:13:19Let the lady talk.
00:13:20Well, imagine my surprise when I walked into my drawing room
00:13:22to find this creature stealing my radio.
00:13:25I tried to stop him, but he overpowered me.
00:13:29You're not going to fall for that, are you, officer?
00:13:31She wouldn't know a drawing room if it jumped up
00:13:33and bit her in the ankle.
00:13:34Besides, I wasn't stealing her radio.
00:13:36I'm James Parker of Skip Traces Limited.
00:13:38That's my card.
00:13:39This woman has been ducking us for months.
00:13:41Officer, I demand that you arrest this man.
00:13:43I'll be delighted to prefer charges.
00:13:45That's OK with me, kid.
00:13:46But the radio goes right on down to the police station.
00:13:48Oh, no, it don't.
00:13:49The radio stays in the lady's apartment
00:13:51until the judge decides who's right in this branigan.
00:13:54Give it to her.
00:13:55Oh, gee, officer, I got it.
00:13:56Give the lady the radio.
00:13:59Thank you, officer.
00:14:00Now, if you'll just give me a few moments to dress,
00:14:02I'll be happy to accompany you to headquarters
00:14:04and prefer charges against this, this brute.
00:14:07OK, we're late.
00:14:08All right, break it up.
00:14:09Hello.
00:14:10Tip, tip.
00:14:11See you in jail, Ronnie.
00:14:13Come on.
00:14:14But, officer, you'll make a mistake pinching me.
00:14:16Besides, I got a date.
00:14:17You've got a date with the judge.
00:14:19Sit down.
00:14:25Steve.
00:14:26Close that door.
00:14:28What's the idea of getting mixed up with the cops?
00:14:30Well, I was expecting Ronnie with some money
00:14:32and this skip filter busted in.
00:14:34Why didn't you let him have the radio?
00:14:36No good anyhow.
00:14:37Well, that's what you think.
00:14:38I'll show you why I didn't let him have it.
00:14:49Listen, brainless, it's a good thing
00:14:51you didn't get away with this.
00:14:52Yeah, I know.
00:14:53That's why I gave him an argument about it.
00:14:55Shut up and get dressed.
00:14:56You got yourself tangled with the cops.
00:14:58Now you have to go down and sign the complaint.
00:15:00But as soon as you get back, we're
00:15:02getting out of this place, quick.
00:15:04That'll make the landlord happy.
00:15:05He asked me for the rent again today.
00:15:07Don't worry about that.
00:15:08We'll have plenty of money as soon as we
00:15:10get rid of these jewels.
00:15:11You hope.
00:15:20Jimmy.
00:15:22Jimmy.
00:15:24What's wrong?
00:15:26Wait a minute.
00:15:28It's just a little misunderstanding, honey.
00:15:30I've got to go down to police headquarters
00:15:32for a few minutes.
00:15:33Just a little matter to take care of.
00:15:34I'll be out of there before you can say
00:15:36Jack Robinson's only conversation.
00:15:38What's the conversation?
00:15:39Are you his girl?
00:15:40Why, yes.
00:15:41OK.
00:15:42You go to headquarters, too.
00:15:44No, wait a minute, officer.
00:15:45I didn't...
00:15:46He's probably an accomplice.
00:15:47Gun malls, you call them, don't you, officer?
00:15:50No, wait a minute.
00:15:51Nobody's taking her down any police station.
00:15:52I won't stand for it.
00:15:53Get in the car.
00:15:54I'm a taxpayer.
00:15:55Who isn't?
00:15:56Get in the car.
00:15:58In the car.
00:16:04You go to headquarters with him, miss.
00:16:06Thank you, officer.
00:16:07Move over, miss.
00:16:13Headquarters, wise guy, and no funny business.
00:16:21Unlawful entry, grand larceny, disturbing the peace,
00:16:25and attempted attack.
00:16:28Sure he didn't do anything else, miss?
00:16:30I think that covers everything.
00:16:32You're making a big mistake, sergeant.
00:16:34Quiet.
00:16:35Take him on back.
00:16:36Come on, sonny boy.
00:16:37Now, wait a minute.
00:16:38Don't you worry about a thing, honey.
00:16:40You can't do this to us.
00:16:41You talk too much.
00:16:42Wait a minute.
00:16:44All right, matron.
00:16:45Take her on back, too.
00:16:46Come along, dearie.
00:16:47You can't put me in jail.
00:16:48My father's a policeman.
00:16:49Well, that ought to make you feel at home.
00:16:51Come on.
00:16:52You'll appear at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
00:16:54to press the complaint.
00:16:55It'll be a pleasure.
00:16:56And thank you so much, sergeant.
00:16:58You've been very sweet.
00:16:59Oh, that's all right.
00:17:02Bye.
00:17:03Goodbye.
00:17:04Goodbye.
00:17:05Goodbye.
00:17:06Goodbye.
00:17:07Goodbye.
00:17:08Goodbye.
00:17:09Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:11Goodbye.
00:17:12Goodbye.
00:17:37Put more wrist action in your stroke.
00:17:39Both of you.
00:17:40And watch your footwork.
00:17:41Oh, darling, you're so clever.
00:17:42I'm afraid I'll never learn.
00:17:44Well, you'll learn if he has to weigh you down to a nub.
00:17:46Don't be such a grouch.
00:17:47Exercise is good for you.
00:17:49Not at 7 o'clock in the morning, it's not.
00:17:51Well, let's try it again.
00:17:52All right, darling.
00:18:01This is my idea of doing nothing at all.
00:18:03Then why didn't you do it?
00:18:07Somebody has to protect you against that crook.
00:18:09He is not a crook.
00:18:10He is a dear...
00:18:12He's a dear, sweet wolf.
00:18:13I'd like to punch him in the nose.
00:18:15You're being very silly.
00:18:19I don't see what you see in that guy.
00:18:21Naturally, he's a woman.
00:18:30How about a breathing spell?
00:18:31I just remembered I have an important phone call to make.
00:18:34Certainly, darling.
00:18:35I'll be back in a minute.
00:18:36All right.
00:18:41He's probably calling one of his crook friends.
00:18:43You are too suspicious.
00:18:45The police questioned Steve,
00:18:46and he had absolutely nothing to do with the stealing of my jewels.
00:18:49Even the police can be wrong, too.
00:18:51Look, John.
00:18:52You're my business manager,
00:18:54but there's nothing in our conduct that says that you can manage my heart.
00:18:58I happen to love Stephen.
00:19:00Love him?
00:19:01How can you love a man you don't know anything about?
00:19:04Stephen Brady pops up out of nowhere.
00:19:06Suddenly, arrives in Hollywood.
00:19:08Suddenly, arrives in Hollywood,
00:19:09and starts to run around with the picture people.
00:19:11Who is he?
00:19:12And what's his background?
00:19:14Why, I don't know.
00:19:16Well, why don't you find out?
00:19:17There's an attention phone over there.
00:19:19See who's calling.
00:19:20Listen in.
00:19:21Maybe you'll learn something.
00:19:23Come on, do it as a favor for me, will you?
00:19:25All right.
00:19:26If it will satisfy your suspicions.
00:19:28Come on.
00:19:31Look, this is ridiculous.
00:19:33Go on.
00:19:34If I'm wrong, I'll apologize.
00:19:36All right.
00:19:38I tell you, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:19:40Save it, Steve.
00:19:41I know you've got the stuff.
00:19:43I owe you a vote of thanks for grabbing the stuff before I could get to it.
00:19:49But I'll be big-hearted about it.
00:19:51I'll let you keep 50%.
00:19:54That'll make everything even.
00:19:57What if I told the police that Duke Jurgens is in town?
00:20:00Go ahead and tell them.
00:20:02I'll be waiting for them in room 807 at the Mammoth Hotel.
00:20:07But when you do, young copper,
00:20:09be sure and tell them about that little job we pulled in Long Island last summer.
00:20:18All right, Duke.
00:20:19I'll see you in a couple of hours.
00:20:20That's better.
00:20:22And when you come, be sure and bring the stuff with you.
00:20:25I know where we can turn it over quick.
00:20:28I'll be seeing you.
00:20:29And don't try any funny business because I've got one of the boys bailing you all the time.
00:20:37Oh, John.
00:20:38What shall I do?
00:20:39Just leave everything to me.
00:20:41And don't live on like you know a thing.
00:20:43But my public...
00:20:44I'd rather lose all my jewels than have our public find out that I was engaged to a thief.
00:20:49Don't worry.
00:20:50I know a concern that handles such matters painlessly.
00:20:53Let's get back.
00:21:01Sorry, Corrine, but I'll have to leave.
00:21:03Anything wrong?
00:21:04Yes.
00:21:05A friend of mine is quite ill and needs some financial assistance.
00:21:08Will I be seeing you for dinner?
00:21:09Sure will.
00:21:10I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:21:11Excuse me.
00:21:21Oh, John.
00:21:22How could he do this?
00:21:25I think I'm going to faint.
00:21:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:21:28Take it easy, Corrine.
00:21:29Look, that's why all professional people have business marriages.
00:21:32It's that easy to worry.
00:21:33Oh, you're so comforting, darling.
00:21:36Kiss me.
00:21:37What?
00:21:39I said kiss me.
00:21:40Uh-oh.
00:21:41I just made a discovery that's going to change my whole life.
00:21:46I love you, John.
00:21:50Conroy, you're getting soft like your friend Jimmy Parker.
00:21:53Women get the same kind of treatment as men around this outfit.
00:21:56Just because a girl made goo-goo eyes at you was no reason for not bringing in her car.
00:22:00Ah, but boy, she said she just wanted to take one more ride in the country before I took her car.
00:22:05Then I get out to pick some daisies for her, and I turn around, and what happens?
00:22:08Bang, she drove away.
00:22:09No excuses.
00:22:10You should take a few pointers from Miles Hanover.
00:22:13There's a young man who was lifted skip tracing to the dignity of a profession.
00:22:16He doesn't lose any skips.
00:22:18Of course he doesn't.
00:22:19You hand him all the soft jobs.
00:22:20Why, that geranium couldn't even take a car away from a boy.
00:22:22Oh, no.
00:22:23No.
00:22:24Why don't you do something, Conroy?
00:22:27Hello?
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29Put him on.
00:22:30It's John Lawrence, business manager for Corrine Hill.
00:22:32You mean the movie queen who was robbed?
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:35Yes, Mr. Lawrence, what can I do for you?
00:22:37I would like to discuss the matter in strictest confidence.
00:22:40I'll be in your office at 11 o'clock this morning.
00:22:43Fine.
00:22:44I'll be waiting for you.
00:22:46Oh, yes, indeed.
00:22:47You can depend on it.
00:22:49We can handle the matter in absolute secrecy.
00:22:51We never betray a confidant.
00:22:54Why, you'd be amazed if I were to tell you the names of some of the stars, directors,
00:22:59writers, and even producers we've had as skips.
00:23:03All right, Mr. Lawrence.
00:23:05Say goodbye.
00:23:07I'll bet it's something to do with that jewel robbery.
00:23:09Well, that's a little out of our line, ain't it?
00:23:11We don't locate crooks.
00:23:12Well, we can try, can't we?
00:23:14Sure.
00:23:15Jimmy Parker just called, Mr. Lanigan.
00:23:17Yeah?
00:23:18Where is he?
00:23:19Did he make a report on those two calls you made last night?
00:23:21No, he didn't.
00:23:22He's in jail.
00:23:23In jail?
00:23:24What for?
00:23:25Larceny.
00:23:26Illegal entry.
00:23:27Attempted attack.
00:23:28I quit counting at that point.
00:23:29Well, it serves him right.
00:23:30Let him stay there.
00:23:31Okay.
00:23:32Hey, wait a minute.
00:23:33Where are you going?
00:23:34Back to my work.
00:23:35Back to your...
00:23:36Look here, get our attorneys on the phone right away.
00:23:38What kind of a woman are you anyway, letting Jimmy Parker stay in jail?
00:23:41And you, on your feet.
00:23:43We're going to police headquarters.
00:23:45You said it.
00:23:49And there he is.
00:23:51The wolf that kept our daughter out all night.
00:23:54But John, she was safe in jail.
00:23:58Yeah?
00:24:00Why did she get that fur coat?
00:24:02They don't shoot Japanese reasons behind bars.
00:24:05Next case.
00:24:06James Parker, charged with unlawful entry, disturbing the peace,
00:24:10attempted assault and larceny.
00:24:12Also the case of Miss Mary Mulvaney, charged with being his accomplice.
00:24:16Is the complaining body, Miss Lillard Risco, present?
00:24:21Miss Lillard Risco.
00:24:25Your Honor, I represent the defendants.
00:24:27I move dismissal.
00:24:28Lack of prosecution.
00:24:30Do you have the article of the complaining body case dismissed?
00:24:36There you are.
00:24:37I told you they couldn't keep me in jail.
00:24:38Now what?
00:24:40Well, I'm going to call on that Risco woman and get that radio.
00:24:43Not me.
00:24:44Mine accepts breakfast.
00:24:45The coffee in her chair is terrible.
00:24:47Okay, but remember,
00:24:48that Risco woman made you spend a night in a cell.
00:24:50Where's your fighting spirit?
00:24:53All right, I'll go with you.
00:24:54Now we're getting someplace.
00:25:06Oh, pardon me, pardon me, Mr. Parker.
00:25:09Why don't you tell me why you landed in jail?
00:25:11I ought to paint you for discretion, now and order.
00:25:13Are you all right, dear?
00:25:15And where'd you get the pretty coat?
00:25:17Well, Jimmy...
00:25:18Say, was the gal with the radio good-looking?
00:25:20Did you notice how quickly the judge granted my motion for dismissal?
00:25:22Hold everything, will you?
00:25:24It's a long story, folks.
00:25:25We can't talk here.
00:25:26And I'll tell it to you as soon as I know the ending.
00:25:28Mom, I'm sorry about Mary, but it wasn't my fault.
00:25:31Come on, honey.
00:25:32Wait a minute.
00:25:33You remember me?
00:25:34I'm your boss.
00:25:35And whatever you're up to,
00:25:36I want you to drop it and leave my office by 11 o'clock.
00:25:38You understand?
00:25:39Okay, come on, honey.
00:25:48I wonder what Lannigan's pulling at 11 o'clock.
00:25:50Maybe they're holding a public firing for Mr. James Parker.
00:25:53You may think I'm silly, darling,
00:25:55but I'd be glad if he'd dig it out of the skip-tracing business.
00:25:57I have to admit, it's pretty hectic.
00:25:59Well, maybe so.
00:26:01But I hope he doesn't find me till I get that Driscoll Dames radio.
00:26:05My weasel!
00:26:06Who's a weasel?
00:26:07No, look, that guy.
00:26:08There's the guy that took my fur coat off of me.
00:26:13And that dame within is wearing it.
00:26:15Yeah?
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:17Well, I'm going to have to get back to work.
00:26:19I'll be back in an hour.
00:26:20Okay, darling.
00:26:21I'll see you at the bar.
00:26:22I'll see you at the bar.
00:26:23I'll see you at the bar.
00:26:24Bye.
00:26:25Bye.
00:26:26Bye.
00:26:27Bye.
00:26:28Bye.
00:26:29Bye.
00:26:30Bye.
00:26:31Bye.
00:26:32Bye.
00:26:33Well, what are we waiting for?
00:26:38Peel off the coat, sister.
00:26:39Wait a minute.
00:26:40Hey, what is this?
00:26:42I'll show you, pal.
00:26:50There you are, Dutchess.
00:26:52Okay.
00:26:53Darling?
00:26:54Wait a minute.
00:26:55You can't do this to me.
00:26:56Give all of me, sister.
00:27:01What happened?
00:27:02We lost in the first round.
00:27:04And I hope Renegan does fire you.
00:27:09Your car's here, sir.
00:27:10Or would you rather have an ambulance?
00:27:15A whip.
00:27:18I asked you boys to drop everything and sit in on this conference
00:27:21so you can see how Miles Hanover handles something really big.
00:27:25Proceed, Mr. Lawrence.
00:27:26Well, as you know, Miss Corrine Hill's jewels were stolen,
00:27:29and I came to you because...
00:27:30Because you know of the boss's great record as a police detective
00:27:32before he founded this business.
00:27:34And were confident he could produce results.
00:27:36Exactly.
00:27:37But I'm puzzled as to how the jewels could have been stolen from the wall safe
00:27:40without awakening her.
00:27:41But I came to the conclusion that...
00:27:43She'd been drugged?
00:27:44Yes.
00:27:45Yes.
00:27:46And I naturally figured that...
00:27:47It was an inside job.
00:27:48Yes.
00:27:49Yes.
00:27:50And I deducted that someone close to her had administered a sleeping potion,
00:27:53perhaps in the drink.
00:27:55And I suspected that...
00:27:56Steve Brady.
00:27:57Because he was a rescuer on the night of the robbery.
00:27:59He knew the layout of her home and enjoyed the confidence
00:28:01any young woman has in her fiancé.
00:28:03Right?
00:28:04Yes.
00:28:05Yes!
00:28:06Are you listening to this, Mr. Parker?
00:28:08No.
00:28:09Yes!
00:28:10You've got me doing it now.
00:28:11My suspicions have been confirmed.
00:28:13No!
00:28:14No!
00:28:15Yes.
00:28:16Tell him about it, Mr. Lawrence.
00:28:17Well, this morning Steve Brady made a telephone call
00:28:20while playing badminton with Corrine.
00:28:22I induced her to listen in on the extension phone.
00:28:25And?
00:28:26A party giving his name as Duke Jurgens
00:28:28threatened Steve Brady with dire things if he didn't split the loot.
00:28:32Duke Jurgens was staying at the Monmouth Hotel.
00:28:34Duke Jurgens?
00:28:35Why, he's a notorious jewel thief.
00:28:37Which makes our case very simple.
00:28:39Jurgens is putting the heat on Brady.
00:28:40We wait for them to meet, close in, get the jewels, notify the police.
00:28:43It's a cinch.
00:28:44No.
00:28:45What do you mean, no?
00:28:46Well, I imagine the reason Mr. Lawrence consulted us
00:28:49was because he wanted to keep the cops out of it.
00:28:51After all, Steve Brady is engaged to Miss Hill.
00:28:53Was engaged to her.
00:28:55You're right about keeping the police out of it.
00:28:57She should be protected against notoriety and ridicule.
00:29:00The public should never know she was engaged to a thief.
00:29:02Hmm, I see.
00:29:04What you want to do, if possible, is recover the jewels
00:29:06and arrange for Steve Brady to drop quietly out of the picture.
00:29:09Exactly.
00:29:10I get it.
00:29:11And for this, I am prepared to pay a fee of $5,000
00:29:14in addition for the $10,000 award
00:29:16payable by the insurance company for the return of the jewels.
00:29:18We'll take the case.
00:29:20Mine is the matter is in your hands.
00:29:22You will find Mr. Hanover very efficient.
00:29:24I'll cooperate in every way.
00:29:25Don't worry about a thing, Mr. Lawrence.
00:29:27I'll start right now by looking up Mr. Duke Juergens at the Mammoth Hotel.
00:29:36Boss, you should have given me that job.
00:29:38It's right up my alley.
00:29:39You haven't got an alley, Parker.
00:29:41And where's that fur coat?
00:29:43Oh, the fur coat?
00:29:44Well, I had it and then I didn't have it.
00:29:46Well, make up your mind.
00:29:47Oh, and how about that Frisco woman's radio?
00:29:50I'd have had it here now if you hadn't told me I had to come here.
00:29:52I'll get that radio this afternoon if it's the last thing I do.
00:29:54Right.
00:29:55Because if you don't get it, it will be the last thing you do.
00:29:58And that goes for you and that car you let that woman get away with.
00:30:01Mr. Lanigan, you make things painfully plain.
00:30:04Oh, is that so?
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:07Oh, here's another little skip for you, Parker.
00:30:09One that you can handle with your eyes closed.
00:30:11A man named Brady Egan.
00:30:13Skipped with an electric washer after making only one payment.
00:30:16All you've got to do is bring in $105 in cash or the washing machine.
00:30:19Don't worry about it, boss.
00:30:21I'll have it back.
00:30:22Wait a minute.
00:30:23It says here Egan's wanted by the police.
00:30:25Yeah.
00:30:26For breaking one collector's jaw and tossing another one through a plate glass window.
00:30:30Will you excuse me?
00:30:36Sweet fellow, the boss.
00:30:38Another soft job, Parker.
00:30:42Well, he sounded like he meant it.
00:30:44Yeah, but listen.
00:30:45If you see a blonde driving a blue Ford Coupe
00:30:47with license number 1T1356, grab her for me, will you?
00:30:50Now, this ain't much of a job,
00:30:52but I sure do need that wolf poison it brings in every week.
00:30:54I'll do the best I can.
00:31:11You wait right here, honey.
00:31:12I'll be back with the radio in five minutes.
00:31:14Listen to me.
00:31:15I heard that story before.
00:31:17I'll do my best.
00:31:18Don't worry.
00:31:19This time I'm playing for keeps.
00:31:21Wait a minute.
00:31:22Thanks, pal.
00:31:34Cheerio.
00:31:35What?
00:31:36You again?
00:31:37I'd like to see Miss Lula Driscoll.
00:31:38You're a little bit late.
00:31:39She moved out this morning.
00:31:41Oh.
00:31:42Uh-huh.
00:31:43Probably didn't want to be bothered by any more phonies.
00:31:45Oh, that was a dirty trick I played on you last night,
00:31:47and I apologize.
00:31:50I'm not supposed to tell anybody who I really am.
00:31:54I'm a G-man.
00:31:56I couldn't tip my mitt.
00:31:57I'm on the trail of a mob of counterfeiters.
00:31:59Oh, who are you trying to kid now?
00:32:01No, that's on the level.
00:32:03Look, the cops pinched me last night, didn't they?
00:32:05Uh-huh.
00:32:06Well, here I am today free.
00:32:07They just pinched me so Lula Driscoll wouldn't be suspicious.
00:32:10No kidding.
00:32:11You mean she's one of them?
00:32:13Shh.
00:32:14Sure.
00:32:15And I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't mean a little money in your pocket
00:32:17if you remember where she moved to.
00:32:19There's a big reward out for counterfeiters.
00:32:21She didn't leave any address.
00:32:23No?
00:32:24Uh-uh.
00:32:25She sent all her furniture to storage.
00:32:27Remember the name of the storage company?
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:30It was the McGinnis Storage House.
00:32:31I saw the truck.
00:32:32Did you see him take the radio?
00:32:35Say, are you sure you're not just after that radio?
00:32:40You guessed it, beautiful.
00:32:41Well, cheerio.
00:32:42Take that.
00:32:45Cheerio.
00:32:46Uh, office.
00:32:48Boy, oh boy, what a break.
00:32:50My job is safe for democracy, the sun is shining,
00:32:52the sweetest girl in the world by my side.
00:32:54What more could a fellow want?
00:32:56The Driscoll radio.
00:32:57I'll walk right into that.
00:33:00Look.
00:33:06See that sign?
00:33:07Uh-huh.
00:33:10Let's go and see what it looks like.
00:33:12But why?
00:33:13Oh, I'm a man of many impulses.
00:33:15I've got a hunch something very lucky is going to happen to me.
00:33:18Let's get married.
00:33:20Huh?
00:33:21Right away.
00:33:22On a hunch?
00:33:23Sure, why not?
00:33:24I've got $600 in the bank and a job that'll be safe
00:33:27as soon as I pick that radio up at McGinnis' storehouse.
00:33:30I love you, you love me.
00:33:32What are we waiting for?
00:33:33But Jimmy, I think...
00:33:34Don't think.
00:33:35It's bad for posterity.
00:33:36People about to plunge into matrimony
00:33:38Don't think too much.
00:33:39Come on.
00:33:42I don't know why I'm doing this.
00:33:44But I am.
00:33:45Wait a minute.
00:34:02Well?
00:34:04How do you think I'd live in front of that fireplace
00:34:06with my cigarettes and slippers?
00:34:08Yeah, I could fix this place up real cute.
00:34:10Jimmy, furniture's so expensive.
00:34:12Oh, there's a million bargains in the paper every day.
00:34:14But we're going to pay cash.
00:34:16I'm not going to have any skip traces
00:34:17moving our beds out from under us.
00:34:18Jimmy.
00:34:20Well, shall we put a deposit on the place?
00:34:22You'll certainly get a lot done in one day.
00:34:24It's getting a good start.
00:34:25How much did you say that was?
00:34:32You look at the furniture as well.
00:34:34I'll go in and grab that radio.
00:34:35OK.
00:34:36I almost forgot.
00:34:37We already have one, chair.
00:34:38It'll look great in front of the fireplace.
00:34:40I've had it for years.
00:34:41I'll be right back.
00:34:54I've got skip traces limited.
00:34:56You store some furniture here today
00:34:57for Miss Lulu Driscoll.
00:34:58That's right.
00:34:59You want furniture.
00:35:00Speed motto.
00:35:01You want all of it?
00:35:02No, just the radio.
00:35:03Radio?
00:35:04There wasn't any radio.
00:35:05Are you sure?
00:35:06Positive.
00:35:09Well, have you got a new address?
00:35:11Steve.
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:16Move to 2266 Marble Cliff Drive.
00:35:182266 Marble Cliff Drive.
00:35:20Thanks.
00:35:21What about the furniture?
00:35:22Keep it.
00:35:23Did you find anything?
00:35:24This looks good.
00:35:26Death and family compels her to sacrifice
00:35:28five rooms of nearly new furniture
00:35:30at fraction of the original cost.
00:35:32This is Brown Mill 6775 Hathaway Drive.
00:35:36That's for us.
00:35:37Let's go.
00:35:38What about the radio?
00:35:39Well, she didn't move the radio
00:35:40in with the rest of the things.
00:35:41But I've got a new address.
00:35:42Boy, we'll see to it.
00:35:43OK.
00:35:44See you later.
00:35:45Bye.
00:35:46Bye.
00:35:47Bye.
00:35:48Bye.
00:35:49Bye.
00:35:50Bye.
00:35:51Bye.
00:35:52We've got a new address.
00:35:53Boy, will she be surprised to see me,
00:35:55and the way out there,
00:35:56we can have a look at the furniture.
00:36:03It really breaks my heart to part
00:36:05with all my lovely things,
00:36:07so many tender memories
00:36:08of my poor dear Alfred who passed away.
00:36:10Right in the prime of life he was.
00:36:13Only 44!
00:36:16That's too bad.
00:36:18Say, uh, $350 will handle the whole thing?
00:36:22Yes, if...
00:36:23Excuse me just a moment.
00:36:25Someone's at the front door.
00:36:29What do you think?
00:36:30Everything's lovely.
00:36:31It's such a bargain.
00:36:32You can get plenty of bargains for cash.
00:36:35I'll make her out a check.
00:36:39How do you do?
00:36:39How do you do?
00:36:40And about that payment?
00:36:41We want to be reasonable, Mrs. Brownell,
00:36:43but you haven't made a payment since you bought the stuff.
00:36:45I know.
00:36:45I'm afraid I'll have to have one of our trucks
00:36:47pick it up this afternoon.
00:36:48Oh, please, don't do that.
00:36:50I haven't had the payment this afternoon yet.
00:36:52By 5 o'clock without fail.
00:36:54The insurance man is here right now
00:36:56with papers for me to sign to collect
00:36:57poor Alfred's insurance.
00:36:59You knew, of course, my husband passed away.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:03Oh, that's too bad.
00:37:05Makes things different, too.
00:37:08We won't hurry you, Mrs. Brownell.
00:37:09You take your time about the payment.
00:37:11Make it, uh, 5.30, even 6 o'clock.
00:37:14That's OK.
00:37:15Don't forget our establishment is
00:37:16known as the Friendly Store.
00:37:18Good day.
00:37:18Good day.
00:37:26Well, I hope you've reached a decision.
00:37:28Yeah, we'll take it.
00:37:29Here's your check, $350.
00:37:32And I hope you'll find as much pleasure out of it as I've had.
00:37:34Well, if I can use your phone, I'll have this stuff out here in a jiffy.
00:37:37Certainly.
00:37:38And while you're doing that, I'll run over to the bank.
00:37:43She trusts me.
00:37:44What about the radio and your job?
00:37:46Oh, there's plenty of time.
00:37:47It's only 1.30.
00:37:48I'll take care of all that after we've
00:37:49moved into our new home.
00:37:50She doesn't leave everything to me.
00:37:53Oh, my heirloom.
00:37:55Goes right there by the fireplace.
00:37:58Why don't you put it down easy?
00:37:59Why do you?
00:38:01Oh, boy, what a chair.
00:38:03That's been with me since college.
00:38:04It looks good.
00:38:06Don't you like it?
00:38:07Well, it isn't that I don't like it.
00:38:08It's just that it doesn't seem to fit in
00:38:09with the rest of the furniture.
00:38:10Ah, you like it.
00:38:11It grows on you.
00:38:12Come here.
00:38:13Give me a kiss.
00:38:14Sorry.
00:38:15Oh.
00:38:17It's almost 3.30.
00:38:17We'll just have time to get married.
00:38:19Then we'll take a nice honeymoon trip
00:38:20to 2266 Marble Cliff Drive and get that Driscoll
00:38:23woman's radio.
00:38:24Oh, boy, what a day.
00:38:25What a honeymoon.
00:38:47Oh, boy, what a day.
00:39:17Oh, boy.
00:39:48Your attention, please.
00:39:50This is the last call.
00:39:52Flight number 17 for San Francisco, Oakland, Portland,
00:39:59and Seattle.
00:40:01Plane now ready for departure at gate number two.
00:40:07Hello, Steve.
00:40:08Going somewhere?
00:40:18Yeah, I was.
00:40:19You don't want to fly solo.
00:40:21It's too dangerous.
00:40:29I get it.
00:40:30This way.
00:40:47Oh, my God.
00:41:17Sit.
00:41:32All right, sit down.
00:41:35Now, for the last time, where's the ice?
00:41:38You've got it all wrong, Duke.
00:41:40I didn't grab the stuff.
00:41:42OK, Taxi, I guess you'd better work on it.
00:41:44Fine.
00:41:48You see, Stevie boy, we keep abreast of the time.
00:41:52Taxi studies to be a dentist until they
00:41:54threw him out of college.
00:41:56He's going to work on you with that.
00:41:59It eliminates a lot of the rough stuff
00:42:00and saves a lot of time.
00:42:02A little bit of grinding with that,
00:42:04and you'll sing like a canary.
00:42:08Now, wait a minute, Duke.
00:42:09What's going on?
00:42:10What's going on?
00:42:11What's going on?
00:42:12What's going on?
00:42:13What's going on?
00:42:14What's going on?
00:42:15Now, wait a minute, Duke.
00:42:17I tell you, I didn't grab any of this.
00:42:19I think his Wi-Fi system needs a lot of attention.
00:42:22Are you going to open wide, or do we have to open it for you?
00:42:25Come on, open up.
00:42:26It'll only take for two or three days.
00:42:28Take that thing away.
00:42:29I'll talk.
00:42:31Fine.
00:42:33That's better.
00:42:35Now, where's the stuff?
00:42:37My girl has it.
00:42:38Normal disco?
00:42:39Where is she?
00:42:402266 Marble Cliff Drive.
00:42:43We'll talk to her.
00:42:45Come on.
00:42:50Hello, Mr. Lawrence.
00:42:51This is Miles Hanover, the man who always gets results,
00:42:54but quickly.
00:42:55You said you wanted to prove to Miss Hill
00:42:57that Steve Brady is a crook.
00:42:58That's right.
00:42:59Well, get this.
00:43:00Go to 2266 Marble Cliff Drive in about a half an hour,
00:43:04and you'll not only find Steve Brady with his fellow crooks,
00:43:07but you'll also find him with his real girlfriend.
00:43:10I'll be nearby, so don't worry about a thing.
00:43:12Thanks.
00:43:14We'll be there.
00:43:17I was just thinking, boys.
00:43:19If Lulu hasn't got the ice, it might be necessary
00:43:21to take her and Stevie here for their one-way sightseeing tour.
00:43:25Don't worry.
00:43:26She's got them.
00:43:27Well, maybe you'd better pick up a car on the way out.
00:43:30We'll stop at the next market.
00:43:32Hey, taxi.
00:43:33Yeah?
00:43:34See what you can pick up on the way of a good, fast troop.
00:43:37OK.
00:43:42All right.
00:44:07After me wasting a whole afternoon getting that car
00:44:09back from a skip tracer, then somebody
00:44:11Somebody has to steal it.
00:45:11Hurry up. I want to go to the police station quickly.
00:45:15Hello? Police Department?
00:45:17This is Mrs. Mamet Primrose, 2268 Barbercliffe Drive.
00:45:22There's a peeping Tom looking in my bedroom window.
00:45:25I can't help it if it is daylight.
00:45:29There's a man up a tree looking in my window.
00:45:35But this time it's the truth. Goodbye.
00:45:39Attention car 34, attention car 34.
00:45:43Go to 2268 Barbercliffe Drive.
00:45:47See a woman by a man up a tree.
00:45:49Daylight peeping Tom, boys. Go get him.
00:45:52Let's go.
00:46:09Door slams.
00:46:12Car honks.
00:46:22Car honks.
00:46:39Hello, darling.
00:46:40Hi, baby.
00:46:41Hiya, Duke.
00:46:42Hello, boys.
00:46:43Hello, Lulu.
00:46:45Do you mind if we come in?
00:46:46Why, no, certainly not.
00:46:50Let's all sit down and have a nice little chat.
00:46:58You're looking well, Lulu.
00:47:00Thanks, Duke.
00:47:03I never saw Stevie looking so well either.
00:47:05You know, health is a wonderful thing.
00:47:08Must be that fresh fruit you get out here in California.
00:47:12Bring out the melon, we'll slice it.
00:47:15What is this?
00:47:16It's okay, baby.
00:47:18He's given the orders.
00:47:21If you're talking about the Corrine Hill stuff, I haven't got it.
00:47:24Haven't got it?
00:47:26Nope.
00:47:28When you sent me a note saying you were leaving for San Francisco, I played safe.
00:47:32Yeah?
00:47:33Yeah?
00:47:34What did you do with it?
00:47:36I mailed everything to myself in Frisco.
00:47:38She's pulling a fast one, Duke.
00:47:40We'll find the stuff if we have to take the plates apart.
00:47:44All right, mastermind.
00:47:46You look and I'll laugh.
00:47:48Take a look around.
00:47:50You take the front of the house.
00:47:55Hey, you, come down out of that tree or I'll mow you down.
00:47:59Come on, make it snappy.
00:48:04No luck, fellas. Can't find a thing.
00:48:08But listen, officer, I...
00:48:09Shut up!
00:48:10What's the idea of being up in that tree?
00:48:12Well, I was up there on business.
00:48:13Huh?
00:48:14I can prove it.
00:48:15What?
00:48:16If you don't believe me, call Skip Traces Limited.
00:48:18Oh, Skip Traces, eh?
00:48:19I wouldn't believe anybody that works for that outfit.
00:48:22Come on, we'll see about that.
00:48:23But listen, officer...
00:48:24Shut up!
00:48:30Cops.
00:48:32Cops.
00:48:38You take it.
00:48:39And don't try any funny stuff.
00:48:41Don't be childish.
00:48:42What did I want to get chummy with coppers for?
00:48:45Get out of sight.
00:48:58Sorry to trouble you, ma'am.
00:48:59But I found this fella looking into your living room window from a tree.
00:49:03Know any reason why he'd be doing that?
00:49:05Oh, uh, yes, there is a reason.
00:49:08He's my brother.
00:49:09Your brother?
00:49:10But he said he...
00:49:11Oh, he's liable to say anything.
00:49:13Listen, what's the idea?
00:49:14Can't I entertain a gentleman friend without you snooping around?
00:49:17I'm over 21.
00:49:18Yeah, yeah, way over.
00:49:19And besides, I don't like the company you keep.
00:49:21First thing you know, they'll get you on a jam.
00:49:23Never mind that.
00:49:24Just a little family argument, officer.
00:49:26We'll straighten it out.
00:49:27Won't we, dear?
00:49:28Oh, sure.
00:49:29Well, okay, but it all sounds screwy to me.
00:49:33You'd better stop playing squirrel.
00:49:35You might pick the wrong tree sometime.
00:49:37He'll be safe with me, officer.
00:49:40Goodbye.
00:49:41Goodbye.
00:49:45All right, Snoopy, what's the gag?
00:49:49Thanks for making it easy, gorgeous.
00:49:51Now I'm going to give you a break.
00:49:52Give me the jewelry and there will be no questions asked.
00:49:55Shh.
00:49:56Not so loud.
00:49:59Follow me.
00:50:03Hey, you!
00:50:04What's the idea?
00:50:09Smart game, eh?
00:50:10Take him in and tie him up.
00:50:16Who's the guy?
00:50:17I don't know.
00:50:18Why'd you let him in?
00:50:19I couldn't help it.
00:50:20The cops caught him snooping and I figured we'd better have him inside.
00:50:23He's probably a private dick that works for that insurance company that underwrote the Corrine Hill stuff.
00:50:27So what?
00:50:30You take it.
00:50:31Come on.
00:50:37Yes?
00:50:39How do you do?
00:50:40My name's Corrine Hill.
00:50:42You may have heard of me.
00:50:43Oh, yes.
00:50:44I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you at first.
00:50:47You look so much younger in your pictures.
00:50:49I have been told I'll find Mr. Brady here.
00:50:51Mr. Stephen Brady.
00:50:53Stephen Brady?
00:50:55I'm sorry, I don't know the gentleman.
00:50:57I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place.
00:50:59And I'm afraid you're not a very good liar.
00:51:02Just a minute.
00:51:03What is this?
00:51:04You say you don't know Steve Brady?
00:51:06That's what I said.
00:51:07Well, what's his picture doing on the radio?
00:51:11Okay, mister.
00:51:13So that's Steve Brady's picture.
00:51:15You mean to tell me that he's a friend of yours?
00:51:19Sorry, sister.
00:51:21He likes my acting better than yours.
00:51:23Always has.
00:51:25Bye.
00:51:31Why, Stephen, what is the meaning of this?
00:51:34I'm sorry, Corrine, but this isn't my party.
00:51:36To think that I once fancied I was fond of you.
00:51:40John, take me home.
00:51:41Why, of course, honey.
00:51:42There they are.
00:51:43What do they want, and how did they get here?
00:51:45Fetch me.
00:51:46All right, take him to the back and tie him up with the other monkey.
00:51:49Okay.
00:51:50Back here.
00:51:51Look at that rubbing hog.
00:51:52Get back there.
00:51:53But I am Corrine Hill.
00:51:54I know, but I don't want your autograph.
00:51:56Get back.
00:52:02All right, I'm through fooling.
00:52:04Now, did you or didn't you mail that stuff up to San Francisco?
00:52:09What if I didn't?
00:52:12Listen, have you been pulling a fast one to save a few jewels
00:52:16when you know it'd be curtains for us?
00:52:18What guarantee have we that we'll be around if we give Duke the ice?
00:52:22You get my word.
00:52:23Don't make me laugh.
00:52:25Don't you see, darling, we're safe as long as we keep the jewels.
00:52:28He won't dare pull anything.
00:52:30Look, give a 24-hour start and I'll send you word where you can find the stuff.
00:52:33Nothing doing, smart girl.
00:52:35That stuff is around here someplace.
00:52:38Hey, boy.
00:52:41Yeah?
00:52:42Tie these two up and storm in the back of that hot car.
00:52:45Okay, Duke.
00:52:47After you, folks.
00:52:49Don't worry, honey.
00:52:50They won't do a thing to us.
00:52:51That's what you think.
00:52:52All right, boys, take them away.
00:52:54Then come back and we'll find that stuff we have to tear this house apart.
00:53:01Well, Mrs. Parker, how do you feel?
00:53:03I'll feel much better when you've picked up that radio
00:53:05and we can settle down to a sane and normal existence.
00:53:08At least for a couple of hours.
00:53:10Practically done, sweetheart.
00:53:17There it goes again.
00:53:19What's the old homely?
00:53:21You fellas stay out of sight.
00:53:22I'll take it.
00:53:32I'm James Parker from Skip Tracers Limited.
00:53:34I want to see Miss Lula Driscoll.
00:53:36Sorry, she's out right now.
00:53:37I don't know what time she'll be back.
00:53:39Could you call later?
00:53:40No deal.
00:53:41I came here to get the radio and it goes with me now.
00:53:42Otherwise I'll have cops here in five minutes.
00:53:45Okay, fella, you get no argument from me.
00:53:47Go ahead and take it.
00:53:48I mean, don't blame me if that sister of mine gets in your hair.
00:53:50Thanks.
00:53:51She got in my hair last night.
00:53:53Where's the radio?
00:53:54In there.
00:53:59We had a lot of trouble getting this.
00:54:05Here's a card that'll give your sister instructions
00:54:07if she wants to pay what she owes.
00:54:09Thanks.
00:54:10So long.
00:54:11So long.
00:54:21Well, honey, I got it.
00:54:22Will Anakin's face be red when I walk in
00:54:24and bounce this baby on his desk?
00:54:36Yeah, the tool kit fell out.
00:54:38Tool kit?
00:54:39I never heard of a radio having a tool kit before.
00:54:45Well...
00:54:47Well...
00:54:52Boy, oh boy!
00:54:53What's the matter?
00:54:54Do you see what I see?
00:54:56Diamonds!
00:54:57Sure.
00:54:58And they're Corey Hills or I'm crazy.
00:55:01This is a $15,000 reward for him.
00:55:03$10,000 from the insurance company and five more if there's no publicity.
00:55:06Boy, only in the chips.
00:55:07That little Driscoll is mixed up in this.
00:55:09Sure, she's mixed up in this deal.
00:55:11That picture I took off the radio, that was Steve Brady.
00:55:14The guy that was with Corey Hill the night the diamonds were stolen.
00:55:17No wonder that Driscoll dame beefed about me taking her radio.
00:55:20No wonder she had me pinched last night.
00:55:22Come on, let's get out of here.
00:55:27Look.
00:55:28What?
00:55:29That car.
00:55:30That's the skip car Bill Connery is looking for.
00:55:321P1356.
00:55:33Boy, this is our lucky day.
00:55:35Look, honey, you drive my car and I'll take that one.
00:55:37Now you go back to our apartment and wait for us
00:55:39and don't move out of the place until I come for you.
00:55:41I'm gonna get these back to Corey Hill and collect.
00:55:43Don't ask questions.
00:55:44Hurry.
00:55:48Well, I guess the stuff ain't here.
00:56:03Somebody's copping the hot car.
00:56:04What?
00:56:05If they get away with Steve and Lolo, we'll never get the stuff.
00:56:07Come on.
00:56:13Let's go.
00:56:43There's another one.
00:57:07I'm calling all cars.
00:57:09Detention all motorcycles.
00:57:11Go to Wilshire Boulevard at once.
00:57:13Intercept two speeding cars headed east.
00:57:16Now being followed by police car number 34.
00:57:41See if you can plug one of his tires.
00:57:43But don't shoot him in the back of that car.
00:57:45I want Steve and Lolo alive.
00:57:47You can't get him to me.
00:57:57Now shoot.
00:57:58Yeah.
00:58:11What are you reaching for, fella?
00:58:32I repossessed that car.
00:58:33I'm telling you, you made a mistake, pal.
00:58:36That's my car.
00:58:37You don't look like any blue-eyed blonde to me.
00:58:42Come on.
00:58:43Break it up.
00:58:44Come on.
00:58:45Come on.
00:58:46Break it up.
00:58:47Come on.
00:58:48Move.
00:58:49Oh, so it's you.
00:58:50Hello, Pop.
00:58:51Don't pop me.
00:58:52You're under arrest.
00:58:53For what?
00:58:54For breaking all the traffic laws and the booked and gravity stolen car.
00:58:57Oh, I didn't steal that car.
00:58:58That's a skip account job.
00:58:59I repossessed it along with his sister's radio.
00:59:01Oh, yeah?
00:59:02Then why was he in the car?
00:59:03Well, I don't know.
00:59:04I don't know.
00:59:05I don't know.
00:59:06I don't know.
00:59:07I don't know.
00:59:08I don't know.
00:59:09I don't know.
00:59:10Yeah?
00:59:11Then why was he and his pals shooting at you?
00:59:13What about it, fella?
00:59:14Why, you ask me?
00:59:15I wasn't doing any shooting.
00:59:16You can search me if you think I'm carrying a rod.
00:59:18Well, smart, ain't you?
00:59:19As though I didn't see you and your pals flush your guns out of the car.
00:59:23Now, where is this radio that you say you repossessed?
00:59:26In my car.
00:59:27Open up the back of that car and see if he's telling us the truth.
00:59:29Now, that isn't my car.
00:59:30Well, you know that.
00:59:31Open it up.
00:59:33There's a couple of bodies in here.
00:59:35And he probably killed them.
00:59:44So you're a kidnapper, too, huh?
00:59:46Now, wait a minute.
00:59:47This has gone far enough.
00:59:48I was supposed to keep the cops out of this on account of publicity.
00:59:51But fun seems to be fun when my own father-in-law calls me a kidnapper.
00:59:54Now, that's Steve Brady, the guy that stole Carl's car.
00:59:57Now, that's Steve Brady, the guy that stole Carl's car.
01:00:00Now, that's Steve Brady, the guy that stole Corrine's jewels.
01:00:03And that's Lou Liscol, his gun model.
01:00:04And the other three fellows were in on it, too.
01:00:06They must have stolen this car from our skip account.
01:00:08And that's the truth, Pop.
01:00:10You're crazy.
01:00:11And you're not my son-in-law.
01:00:13All right.
01:00:14I'll prove one thing at a time.
01:00:16There's the jewels.
01:00:19And if you want to look over their hideout, go to 2266 Marble Cliff Drive.
01:00:222266 Marble Cliff Drive?
01:00:25I was there once before today to see about a man up a tree.
01:00:28I know it.
01:00:29Ten thousand bucks.
01:00:31All right, take her out.
01:00:32All right, you guys, let's go.
01:00:34Come on, get going.
01:00:35Come on, you too.
01:00:38Don't push, LaFawn.
01:00:39Great work, my boy.
01:00:41Of course, you'll get the $10,000 reward,
01:00:42and I'm going to open a new department.
01:00:44Lost wills and missing heirs,
01:00:46and you're going to be in charge of it.
01:00:47Oh, that's swell, boss.
01:00:49That's a great wedding present, isn't it, Pop?
01:00:51Wedding present? What do you mean?
01:00:53Your daughter became Mrs. James Parker this afternoon.
01:00:55Pop, I want you to come over and see us.
01:00:57Yes, any old time you feel like it.
01:00:58He can take his shoes off, too, can't he?
01:01:00Oh, sure.
01:01:04You were right about that house on Marble Cliff Drive
01:01:06being a hideout.
01:01:07We found these three there.
01:01:09Canova, were you in that house?
01:01:10Yes, indeed, and what's more,
01:01:12I'm about to recover Miss Hill's jewels for her.
01:01:14Are you crazy?
01:01:15I'll show you how crazy I am.
01:01:16I see you repossessed Miss Driscoll's radio.
01:01:19That's right.
01:01:20Well, what you didn't know was
01:01:21the jewels were hidden inside that radio all the time.
01:01:23No fool.
01:01:24Yes, indeed.
01:01:25Watch closely.
01:01:27There must be here.
01:01:28I saw Miss Driscoll put them here.
01:01:29She did?
01:01:31I took them out.
01:01:34Here are your jewels, Miss Hill.
01:01:35I'm sorry I couldn't get them back to you
01:01:37without the cops butting in,
01:01:38giving you all this publicity.
01:01:39The publicity has been simply marvelous.
01:01:42My press agent tells me I'm a front page
01:01:45in every paper in the country.
01:01:47But Mr. Lawrence wanted to protect you
01:01:48from all publicity and notoriety.
01:01:50Oh, John, it's old fashioned.
01:01:52I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
01:01:54Oh, John, it's old fashioned.
01:01:57He doesn't realize that publicity
01:01:59is the lifeblood of an important star.
01:02:04You dear, brave boy, you.
01:02:07Do you mind if I kiss you?
01:02:10Just one little kiss.
01:02:19Don't have to speak of a wife.
01:02:25Wait a minute.
01:02:25I gotta carry you over the threshold.
01:02:30Switch is on the left there, honey.
01:02:33We're gonna be just as cozy as a couple of bargainers.
01:02:48What is this?
01:02:49Search me.
01:02:50Your furniture has been repossessed
01:02:51by skip tracers, laminate.
01:02:53Oh.
01:02:54Looks like your sins have caught up with us.
01:03:01Oh.
01:03:02Oh.
01:03:05Oh.
01:03:06Oh.
01:03:07Oh.
01:03:07Oh.
01:03:08Oh.
01:03:09Oh.
01:03:10Oh.
01:03:11Oh.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:13Oh.
01:03:14Oh.
01:03:15Oh.
01:03:16Oh.
01:03:17Oh.
01:03:17Oh.
01:03:18Oh.
01:03:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
