07:11May I offer you a cigar?
07:13Oh, thank you.
07:14I'll smoke it after dinner.
07:16Be my guest.
07:19Since you've been away from the country and your mother for over ten years,
07:24there are a great many details you should know.
07:26Forget the details. How much do I get?
07:29Briefly, in as few words as possible.
07:32Right.
07:33Briefly, then, you're broke.
07:37What did you say?
07:40I said you're broke. Bankrupt. Without funds.
07:44What are you trying to do, pull some kind of racket?
07:48If you wish to hire a competent accountant...
07:51The old girl was loaded. Where did it all go?
07:54By complying with your regular and exorbitant financial demands,
07:58your mother finally brought herself to the point where she died penniless and in debt.
08:01I'm not asking for a lecture.
08:03I don't believe you anyway.
08:05Nevertheless, it's true.
08:11The insurance. She always carried a large policy.
08:14That is true. There is a policy for $50,000.
08:17You are named as beneficiary.
08:19Well, why didn't you say so?
08:21One moment.
08:22The insurance company has refused to pay off.
08:25And it is highly doubtful if they ever will.
08:28Why?
08:30What kind of swindle is this?
08:33In the event of death by suicide,
08:35and there is a strong presumption your mother took her own life,
08:38the policy is automatically void.
08:40But who said she killed herself?
08:42Who?
08:43It would be difficult to prove otherwise,
08:45despite the innuendo as one of our leading tabloids.
08:58The necklace.
08:59The Dahlgren Diamonds. She never parted there.
09:01Where is it?
09:08That's the baby.
09:10Not quite.
09:11They're paste.
09:13Paste?
09:16Do you mean to tell me these aren't the Dahlgren Diamonds?
09:19I'm sorry.
09:20At some time exactly when, I don't know,
09:22your mother disposed of the original jewels
09:24and replaced them with this inexpensive replica.
09:30I'm overdue for dinner.
09:31Stop in at my office tomorrow morning.
09:33There are a few formalities.
09:39I'm rather curious.
09:41What do you intend to do?
09:43Do? What do you mean?
09:44Well, to my knowledge, you've never had a job.
09:46Never equipped yourself for anything.
09:48Going to work for the first time at your...
09:50Oh, get out!
09:53Good night.
09:59Oh, go away.
10:30Mr. Dahlgren.
10:31Oh, I don't want anything.
10:44You looking for trouble?
10:45Could be.
10:46That's good.
10:47I've got lots of it. Help yourself.
10:49Okay.
10:50How about a couple of samples?
10:54Money gone?
10:56No insurance?
10:57Want to commit suicide?
10:59Dahlgren Diamonds?
11:06What about the diamonds?
11:08That's a big joke.
11:09They're gone too.
11:10They're gone?
11:13No.
11:14Just those phonies left.
11:16Oh, money.
11:28Uh...
11:30Listen to me.
11:32You're too drunk to know what I'm talking about.
11:36So I'm drunk.
11:37You want to make something of it?
11:38Okay, okay, I apologize.
11:40Yeah.
11:43Who the devil are you, anyway?
11:44Edson.
11:45I write a column for the Globe.
11:47We met at the airport, remember?
11:53Well, what's on your mind?
11:55I think you and I can do each other quite a bit of good, Mr. Dahlgren.
11:59First of all, what do you know about Carrie Foster?
12:03Carrie?
12:04Foster?
12:06Foster?
12:07Who's she?
12:09Your mother's companion at the time of her death.
12:12Hmm.
12:13I've had a wild hunch about this.
12:15Now with the Dahlgren Diamonds turning on face, the whole thing adds up.
12:19Your mother was murdered.
12:21Probably because she found out about those not being real.
12:26What did you say?
12:27Now listen to me carefully.
12:28I went back to the paper and I checked our files.
12:31Now I want to tell you about Carrie Foster.
12:33A sweet little old murderess.
12:56Look at this.
12:58Thank you for everything.
13:00Oh, Jerry, what are we going to do?
13:02Carrie still doesn't have any money and no place to go.
13:04Let's throw on some clothes and go after her.
13:06At this time of night, she shouldn't be too hard to find.
13:26Ta-da!
13:40There she is, Jerry, getting into that cab.
13:49Hey!
13:51Hey!
13:52Buddy, are you drunk or something?
13:53Take it easy.
13:54Nobody's drunk and nobody's hurt.
13:55You missed my friend Fender by that much.
13:57I missed her, didn't I?
13:58What are you so nervous about?
13:59With guys like you driving, I've got a right to be nervous.
14:02Hey, wait a minute, lady.
14:03What are you doing with my fare?
14:05We're taking her home with us.
14:06She won't need the cab.
14:08How do you like that?
14:10How do you like that?
14:11What's a guy like me supposed to do to make a living in this racket?
14:14Here.
14:15Let's preserve your professional standing.
14:17Oh, yeah.
14:18I guess so.
14:20Hey, wait a minute.
14:21Wait a minute.
14:23Supposing the woman don't want to go with you.
14:25Maybe this is a snatch.
14:26Maybe I should call a cop.
14:27Why don't you do that?
14:28It's all right, driver.
14:29I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.
14:41All right, now, carry.
14:42Sit down.
14:44And remember, dear.
14:46We're your friends.
14:47We want to help you if we can.
14:49I have no right to impose on you.
14:51You've been wonderful, but...
14:52But what?
14:53There's something about me you should know.
14:56Something I should have told you.
14:58You don't have to tell us anything, Carrie.
15:00I've got to, Mr. North.
15:02Then maybe you'll see why it'll be better for you if I go now.
15:07Some years ago, well, before I worked for Adele Dahlgren,
15:11I worked as a companion for an old lady in Inlet.
15:14Her name was Mrs. Corey.
15:16And she lived in a little house just outside of Bridgeport.
15:18She...
15:20Well, one night, she was found...
15:23dead.
15:26Well, that's a terrible thing, but I don't see how that...
15:29But don't you understand?
15:31Sooner or later, someone, possibly that reporter,
15:34is going to find out about Mrs. Corey.
15:36They're going to say that it isn't coincidence
15:38that people I work for die under peculiar circumstances.
15:42They'll call it a pattern.
15:45You've both been wonderful.
15:46I'll be all right now.
15:48Now, wait a minute.
15:50You haven't done anything wrong,
15:52and we're going to see to it that nobody pushes you around.
15:55But that newspaper, they'll...
15:57they'll smear your name all over the front page.
15:59Oh, hang the newspaper.
16:01We'll worry about that when we come to it.
16:08Keep ringing. This is urgent.
16:10Go away. I'm sleeping.
16:12Well, this should wake you up, Mr. Dahlgren.
16:14Seems you may be able to collect
16:16on an insurance policy of your mother's, after all.
16:18I told you I don't want to.
16:21I'm going to sleep.
16:23I'm going to sleep.
16:25I'm going to sleep.
16:27I'm going to sleep.
16:29I'm going to sleep.
16:31I'm going to sleep.
16:33I'm going to sleep.
16:35I'm going to sleep.
16:37I'm going to sleep.
16:40He hence the diamonds were a motive for murder.
16:42I'm coming right down to your office.
16:52Coming, coming.
16:58Well, my friends the press.
17:00It was a great story.
17:02Shall I get you a drink?
17:04Uh, thanks, but I think you'd better hear what Mr. Koster
17:06has to say before we start to celebrate.
17:07Mr. Coster?
17:08That's me.
17:08Mr. Coster is a jeweler and one of my constant readers who phoned me early this morning
17:12to let me know of a slight error in today's piece.
17:16Go ahead. This is Mrs. Dahlgren's son.
17:18About three years ago, Mr. Dahlgren,
17:20your mother came to my shop.
17:22She gave me the Dahlgren diamonds to sell.
17:25I did so, acting as her agent.
17:28She also commissioned me to make for her an imitation necklace,
17:33worth perhaps a few hundred dollars.
17:35This I did.
17:37That is the true story.
17:42Thanks, Mr. Coster. I'll be in touch with you.
17:44Do you wish me to make a statement?
17:46Later. I'll take care of it.
17:48Good day to you, Mr. Dahlgren.
17:51Boy, when I make a mistake, it's a beaut.
17:54Just think of it.
17:56Your mother dies under mysterious circumstances.
17:58Somebody very close to her snaffles her diamonds.
18:01I find a police report that her companion tried suicide right after the inquest.
18:05Would you mind telling me what all that adds up to?
18:07Shut up.
18:08All adds up to murder with a clear-cut motive
18:10and an obvious attempt to avoid punishment?
18:13Only it wasn't that at all.
18:15Edson, I said shut up!
18:18Huh?
18:19If Carrie Foster had succeeded in her suicide attempt,
18:23she would have been branded a murderess.
18:25Well, sure. I just finished telling you that. What's the...
18:27Well, I guess that's as close as I'll ever come
18:30to collecting out my mother's insurance.
18:34Still, I... I would like to have a chance to
18:38make all this up to Carrie,
18:39to let her know that I'm sorry she was given a bad time.
18:44Well, I guess that's understandable.
18:50A retraction in the paper isn't going to make you look very smart, is it?
18:54What are you driving at?
18:56Well, I just thought that it might be better all around if
18:59I had a chance to straighten this out quietly.
19:02Sure, that'd be a break for me, all right, but what about Coster?
19:04He's expecting to read a retraction in my column.
19:06I'll take care of Coster.
19:08I think I can convince him it's the best out for all concerned,
19:11to just let the whole matter die.
19:14Okay, it's worth a try, Whitney.
19:16Personally, I read Coster as one of those good citizens
19:18who'll hold out for a public statement from us.
19:22We'll see.
19:24I've got to go down to the attorney's office. I'll see you later.
19:32Mr. Dahlgren.
19:33Yeah?
19:34Well, you locked my door, Mr. Dahlgren. Why?
19:37Just say I like privacy.
19:39Why? I can't have my door locked.
19:42I'm in business. My client's in business.
19:45I'm not in business.
19:47I'm in business.
19:49I'm in business.
19:51I'm in business.
19:53I'm in business.
19:55I'm in business.
19:57I'm in business.
19:59I'm in business.
20:01I'm in business. My customers won't know what to think.
20:22Hello?
20:23Yes, this is Carrie Foster.
20:26Yes.
20:30What? What was that?
20:32So, Miss Foster, if you will meet me and Mr. Coster at the attorney's office,
20:37we can clear your name at once.
20:40Excellent. I... We'll be waiting for you at Mr. Strauss' office.
20:45Yes.
20:52This is your popular music station, W.W.O.,
20:56and now we bring you five minutes of the latest news.
20:59Hey, Pam, kill that thing, will you?
21:02Kill what thing?
21:04The radio. I can stand music while I'm working,
21:07but that voice of doom newscaster is another matter.
21:10Police are investigating the brutal slaying of Jerome Coster,
21:13whose mutilated body was discovered within the hour.
21:16More work for poor Bill Wigan than the police.
21:19Yeah.
21:20Jerome Coster?
21:22And Senator Honeycutt stated this morning
21:24that he would call his committee into immediate secession.
21:27Oh, no, we missed it.
21:29He did say Jerome Coster had been murdered.
21:31And Carrie told us that Jerome Coster was to be at that lawyer's office
21:35to meet with her and Whitney Dalgan.
21:37Oh, what was the name of... Strauss.
21:40What are you thinking, Jerry?
21:42We'd better get down to Mr. Strauss' office and see what's going on.
21:45I don't see how a dead man can clear Carrie's name.
21:52Hmm.
22:23Miss Foster.
22:25Yes?
22:26I'm Whitney Dalgan.
22:28I wanted to catch you before you got to Strauss' office.
22:31You're in trouble, Miss Foster.
22:33Trouble? But I thought you said...
22:35I was wrong. This is a trap.
22:37When you go into that office, you'll find the police there waiting to arrest you.
22:40Come this way.
22:42I'm trying to help you.
22:47But I don't understand, Mr. Dalgan.
22:49The jeweler is waiting to identify you as the party
22:52for whom he made the paste replica of my mother's necklace.
22:55He'll try you for murder. And you'll be convicted.
22:58But that's ridiculous.
23:00I didn't kill your mother.
23:02And I don't know anything about her necklace or the jeweler.
23:05Police won't believe you. Remember, you tried to commit suicide.
23:08Then there was that other woman you worked for who died.
23:12Take me to the office. We'll see what they believe.
23:16All right.
23:18But remember, I tried to warn you.
23:28I guess Strauss' office must be down this way. Come on.
23:49Jerry!
24:09It's gone. It's all gone.
24:11Money, the diamonds. Nothing left. Nothing.
24:14What'll I do?
24:16What'll I do? What can I do?
24:19Stop moaning, Dorban. You've got it made.
24:21Three meals a day, a roof over your head,
24:23and if you're lucky, a view of the river.
24:25From now on, the people of the state of New York
24:27are going to take care of your future. Come on.
24:33I know you're gonna miss her cooking.
24:35Oh, those cakes are...
24:37Your release is in the cab, Karen.
24:39I'm ready. But I do hope your friend Mr. Stewart
24:42will be satisfied with my work.
24:44Mr. Stewart's a darn good writer and one of my favorite people.
24:47And he certainly needs a good housekeeper.
24:49But remember, I warned you.
24:51I know. He's an old bachelor and a terrible wolf.
24:55Well, I'd better hurry.
24:57Goodbye, Karen.
25:05Women are the...
25:07Yes, dear? You were saying?
25:10The most wonderful.
25:14THE END
