00:00:00THE END
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:08Well, how was the day, Harry, old boy, old boy, old boy?
00:01:11I'm just fine, and I'll stay that way if you lay off them stale jokes.
00:01:15What a car and stale jokes.
00:01:22That's a good one that is.
00:01:24Oh, it's them kids again, they're nuisances.
00:01:31The top playing a rosy London bridge is falling down.
00:01:38Boys and girls together, me and Mamie, old boy.
00:01:45With the light fantastic on the sidewalk of New York.
00:01:51East side, west side, all around the town.
00:01:58The top's a ring of rosy London bridge is falling down.
00:02:05Boys and girls together, me and Mamie, old boy.
00:02:10Five, six, seven, eight berries.
00:02:17That's two-something apiece.
00:02:18Gee, Ross, was I scared.
00:02:20You shouldn't have done it.
00:02:21We don't want any part of it.
00:02:23Ah, don't be dumb.
00:02:24Here, Mary, you go over to the Santa's grocery,
00:02:27and ask him to break that fire spot,
00:02:29so if we can divvy.
00:02:31There they are, that's them.
00:02:33Gee, my boy!
00:02:37No, you don't.
00:02:38Let me go, you blackwood cobbins!
00:02:41Gee, Mike, they caught him.
00:02:43You're on around grabbing other people's money, are you?
00:02:46Ross!
00:02:47Grab her, Harry.
00:02:48What did he come back for, you poor kid?
00:02:50Oh, what is the world coming to?
00:02:55So, you'll finally come, Harry,
00:02:57with your own child arrested as a common thief.
00:03:00Gosh, woman, there's no cause for alarm.
00:03:01I've already spoken to the mayor.
00:03:03Bluff!
00:03:04That's all you are, Bluff!
00:03:05It's a fine lot of good you'll be doing that, child,
00:03:07with yourself smelling like a saloon.
00:03:09I should like a true bill of particulars
00:03:12setting forth the nature of this charge.
00:03:14And who are you?
00:03:16Ulysses Sylvester Rogers,
00:03:18father of this little child
00:03:20who stands before this bar,
00:03:22shamefully accused.
00:03:24If he please, Your Honor,
00:03:25according to the Bill of Rights
00:03:27and the statutes of the great state of New York,
00:03:29this in a...
00:03:30It'll please, My Honor,
00:03:32if you'll remain quiet for a moment.
00:03:34Your Honor,
00:03:35I'm intending to take my little girl
00:03:37out of this unhappy environment immediately.
00:03:40I'm going west to start a new life.
00:03:42Perhaps that would be better for both of you.
00:03:44You are the little girl's aunt?
00:03:46Yes, Your Honor.
00:03:47It is the opinion of this children's court
00:03:49that Mary had better remain with her father
00:03:51for the present.
00:03:52Pending investigation by the Gary Society.
00:03:54All right.
00:03:57Michael McGlennan.
00:04:02We have no previous record
00:04:03against your boy, Officer McGlennan.
00:04:06So I'm going to dismiss the charges
00:04:07and place him in your custody.
00:04:09Thank you, Your Honor.
00:04:10I'm taking him right down
00:04:11to have a good talk with Father O'Shea.
00:04:15Ross Hadley.
00:04:15Now, this young man,
00:04:20Ross Hadley,
00:04:22has a very long record.
00:04:25Truancy.
00:04:26Petty thieving.
00:04:28Malicious mischief.
00:04:29He's no good, Your Honor.
00:04:30No matter what I do,
00:04:31he's just a no-good little crook.
00:04:33You're a bigger crook than I am.
00:04:34Why are you...
00:04:35Keep your hands off of the boy, Hadley,
00:04:38or I'll hold you for contempt.
00:04:40He's going to wind up
00:04:41in the electric chair,
00:04:42that's what.
00:04:43Enough of this.
00:04:44Under the circumstances,
00:04:46I'll have to place him
00:04:47in a corrective home for boy.
00:04:49Now, the sooner the better.
00:04:51It's all right with me.
00:04:53Reform school?
00:04:54Don't let him see you crying, Mary.
00:05:05Don't let him see you crying, Mary.
00:05:35All right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:41Place your bets, please.
00:05:43There they go.
00:05:4724 black.
00:05:4824 black.
00:05:50Sorry, Miss Dorothy.
00:05:52That's all right, Ross.
00:05:54There's plenty more
00:05:54where that came from.
00:05:56Well, that's good to know.
00:06:01Aren't you playing, Mrs. Lawrence?
00:06:03No.
00:06:04I've had enough.
00:06:07Place your bets, please,
00:06:08ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:09Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:10Oh, well, thank you.
00:06:17There they go.
00:06:18Where the little ball falls,
00:06:19falls to Portia.
00:06:2231 red.
00:06:2331 red.
00:06:26Ross, darling.
00:06:28I've got to check in, Faye.
00:06:29Well, you'll come back
00:06:30and have a drink with me, won't you?
00:06:32Sure.
00:06:40Now, you're a funny guy, Adley.
00:06:42What do you mean, Chevy?
00:06:44Well, hey, you've been working for me
00:06:45for two years now for peanuts.
00:06:48All the time,
00:06:49you could have been living off the cream.
00:06:51Yeah, for instance.
00:06:53Oh, you could have been treating
00:06:54Faye Lawrence a little cozier.
00:06:57You know who her husband was.
00:07:00Biggest bookie of cheap-set bay
00:07:02until the boys croaked him.
00:07:03She's still making a good thing
00:07:05out of that book.
00:07:05Well, maybe I'm just
00:07:08giving her a build-up.
00:07:11Well, it's cock-eye.
00:07:13Now, I'm disappointed in you.
00:07:16I thought if you hung around here
00:07:17and kept your eyes open,
00:07:19you'd learn a lot.
00:07:20Well, I've been learning, Chappy.
00:07:22And I'm not going to work
00:07:23for those peanuts any longer.
00:07:24I'm quitting you.
00:07:26Quitting me?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28What for?
00:07:29I'm figuring on opening
00:07:30a bigger place
00:07:31that's going to put you
00:07:32out of business.
00:07:32Oh, and just what are you
00:07:34figuring on using for money?
00:07:37Faye Lawrence.
00:07:39Faye Lawrence.
00:07:40Mm-hmm.
00:07:41Well, does she know?
00:07:42She doesn't know, Chappy.
00:07:43But like you said,
00:07:44I've been learning.
00:07:46And tonight I figure to graduate.
00:07:51You've been working too hard.
00:07:54Why don't you hit Chappy
00:07:54for a vacation?
00:07:56I'm going up to Saratoga
00:07:58for the season.
00:08:00Oh, I can.
00:08:00I've got to see some people
00:08:01on a big business deal.
00:08:03What kind of a deal?
00:08:06I'm getting backing
00:08:06for a spot of my own.
00:08:08It'd be that Miss Darcy
00:08:09who's been shoving her chips
00:08:10around the last few nights,
00:08:11could it?
00:08:12Could be.
00:08:14But I said some people.
00:08:15How much is she,
00:08:17I mean,
00:08:17some people,
00:08:19willing to put up?
00:08:20Oh, $25,000
00:08:21for the gambling end.
00:08:23And I can promote
00:08:24concessions
00:08:24for the fixtures and things.
00:08:26You need more than that
00:08:27to Buck Chappy.
00:08:30What would
00:08:30$35,000 do for you?
00:08:34Give me the biggest
00:08:35play in town.
00:08:36Well, let's get out
00:08:37of here now.
00:08:38We can settle the details
00:08:39with my lawyer
00:08:40the first thing
00:08:40in the morning.
00:08:41I'll see you at breakfast.
00:08:45I've got a date
00:08:45with a politician.
00:08:46A blonde?
00:08:48No, he's big
00:08:49and bald-headed
00:08:50and has a cigar
00:08:52in his mouth.
00:08:59All right, Joe.
00:09:01How did I do?
00:09:02Oh, great.
00:09:02You're a wonderful actress, Bonnie.
00:09:04You ought to be
00:09:04with David Warfield.
00:09:05Thanks.
00:09:06Did you fall for it?
00:09:07Yep.
00:09:11For you?
00:09:13For you.
00:09:14Well,
00:09:15this calls for
00:09:15a little celebration.
00:09:17Hey, Joe,
00:09:17this is where I get off.
00:09:18Wrong.
00:09:21Some other time, Bonnie.
00:09:22I've got a date
00:09:23with an alderman.
00:09:24What's this alderman
00:09:24got that I haven't got?
00:09:26A drag with City Hall.
00:09:27You're talking to the guy
00:09:28that's going to have
00:09:28this town eaten
00:09:29out of his hand.
00:09:30I heard an animal trainer
00:09:31say that once
00:09:32about a lion.
00:09:33He lost an arm.
00:09:35You're a sweetheart.
00:09:44Chappie,
00:09:45will you listen to me
00:09:45just a second?
00:09:46Look.
00:09:47Chappie,
00:09:47I want to explain
00:09:48one...
00:09:48Look.
00:09:49If you'll only listen,
00:09:50just...
00:09:51I tell you,
00:09:51let this garter girl
00:09:53drag the suckers in
00:09:54and when she gets through
00:09:54they'll cough up everything,
00:09:56including their gold filling.
00:09:57What garter girl?
00:09:59What garter girl
00:09:59is only one garter girl,
00:10:01Chappie?
00:10:02By Parker.
00:10:03She got Chicago,
00:10:04Daffy.
00:10:05Then tell me that place
00:10:05Russ Hadley's opening up
00:10:06is going to be a lulu.
00:10:07Yeah, yeah, I heard.
00:10:08Sounds wonderful.
00:10:09Food and entertainment,
00:10:10besides gambling.
00:10:11You see?
00:10:11What was I telling you?
00:10:13Look, Mickey,
00:10:14skid-doo, will you?
00:10:14I've got troubles enough now.
00:10:16There's a double-crossing slug
00:10:18opening up
00:10:18just down the street from me.
00:10:20Why do you think
00:10:20I'm trying to sell you
00:10:21this attraction?
00:10:22Well,
00:10:23I guess you ain't interested.
00:10:25Maybe I'll go down
00:10:26and give this guy
00:10:26Hadley a glim at this.
00:10:29Just a minute,
00:10:29Nicky.
00:10:30I owe you a favor.
00:10:32Maybe if this garter girl
00:10:34doesn't come too high,
00:10:35I might give her a break
00:10:36just for your sake.
00:10:37I appreciate that,
00:10:38Chappie.
00:10:39But she comes high.
00:10:42Let me see it,
00:10:43Chappie.
00:10:45Hmm.
00:10:45Viparka,
00:10:47the garter girl.
00:10:49And very nice, too.
00:10:50I got it.
00:10:52Hold me just a little closer
00:10:58Hug and squeeze me
00:11:01Say that's fine
00:11:03Rest your head upon my shoulder
00:11:09Now press your lips to my knees
00:11:15Chappie's really got himself
00:11:16an attraction, Ross.
00:11:18More curves
00:11:19than Christy Matheson.
00:11:21You know,
00:11:22it's a funny thing,
00:11:22but she reminds me
00:11:24of somebody.
00:11:25They all remind you
00:11:26of somebody.
00:11:28You ever been to Chicago?
00:11:29No.
00:11:30She was big time out there.
00:11:32She was.
00:11:32Hold me
00:11:34Just a little closer
00:11:38How do you like her,
00:11:39Mr. Misney?
00:11:40I got my wife,
00:11:42but all you kids
00:11:43Hold me
00:11:44Hold me
00:11:47Just a little closer
00:11:50Hug and squeeze me
00:11:53Say that's fine
00:11:56Rest your head upon
00:11:59My shoulder
00:12:01Tell me more
00:12:03about her, counselor.
00:12:05Oh, well,
00:12:05of course,
00:12:05she's a great artist,
00:12:06my dear.
00:12:07There's a question about that,
00:12:08but it's too entirely
00:12:09to my handiwork,
00:12:10because without me,
00:12:11the girl would be nothing.
00:12:12Nothing told.
00:12:13Ain't she the lucky one
00:12:14If someone would only
00:12:16take an interest
00:12:17in my undeveloped home
00:12:19Old man Rogers
00:12:20Hold me
00:12:22Hold me
00:12:24Mary Rogers
00:12:25Just a little closer
00:12:28And I'll show
00:12:29And I'll show
00:12:29I
00:12:31Love you
00:12:34Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:12:39You take the New York
00:12:41Why, stop?
00:12:42Don't you come
00:12:42and have a drink with us?
00:12:43Oh, I'd love to,
00:12:44but Mother says I can't.
00:12:46All right, gentlemen.
00:12:47All right.
00:12:48Miss Parker has a change
00:12:49to make.
00:12:49Sorry.
00:12:50Well, thanks for running
00:12:56into Therence,
00:12:57but as you say,
00:12:59I have a change to make.
00:13:00Oh, you don't know me.
00:13:02Well, if you're Santa Claus,
00:13:03you forgot your whiskers.
00:13:05Take a little harder, Mary.
00:13:08Mary?
00:13:12Ro!
00:13:13Ro!
00:13:13I can't believe!
00:13:15Oh, Ro!
00:13:15How are you?
00:13:16Oh, I'm fine.
00:13:18And you,
00:13:18well, you're just beautiful.
00:13:20So, look, Mary.
00:13:21No, no, no.
00:13:21Call me, Vi.
00:13:22I'm more used to it.
00:13:23All right, Vi.
00:13:24Put some clothes on, will you?
00:13:26I want to give you a ride
00:13:26in my new gasoline buggy.
00:13:27Oh, Ross, I'd love to,
00:13:29but, oh, I've got another show
00:13:31to do in two hours.
00:13:32I'll get you back
00:13:33in plenty of time.
00:13:34We got a lot of catching up to do.
00:13:35Hurry up.
00:13:35All right.
00:13:41Ross?
00:13:42Yeah?
00:13:43Was it very bad,
00:13:44that place they sent you to?
00:13:45Where, the school?
00:13:47No.
00:13:48Before they let me out,
00:13:49I was so hard
00:13:49you could bounce marbles off me.
00:13:51Yeah.
00:13:52I learned the hard way, too.
00:13:54Honky-tonks,
00:13:55cabarets.
00:13:56Yeah.
00:13:57For the good old counselor, huh?
00:13:59I saw him out there.
00:14:00Yeah.
00:14:01Still the same old,
00:14:02good old counselor.
00:14:03I have to keep my eye on him.
00:14:05You seem kind of hard boy
00:14:06as yourself.
00:14:07Like to try bouncing
00:14:08off a few marbles?
00:14:11Well, that's the best way.
00:14:12Only way you get any place.
00:14:14Well,
00:14:15where do we go?
00:14:17Don't ask questions.
00:14:17Just put on your little bonnet.
00:14:18Here we go.
00:14:19You certainly don't give a girl
00:14:20much chaffy.
00:14:21I should say not.
00:14:28What's the matter, chaffy?
00:14:29Lost something?
00:14:30Have you seen Miss Parker around?
00:14:32Yes, Mr. Wilson.
00:14:33She just went out with Mr. Hadley.
00:14:34Oh.
00:14:35Excuse me.
00:14:36All the nerve.
00:14:39Leaving me sitting here
00:14:40like a cold potato.
00:14:57Well, here we are.
00:14:58Everybody out.
00:14:59But that's the police station.
00:15:00Sure.
00:15:00Some of my best friends are cops.
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:06Well, what are you kidding me
00:15:08of thinking like that, boy?
00:15:09Come on, look what you did to me.
00:15:10You make us all this trouble.
00:15:11What are you doing?
00:15:12Quiet, quiet.
00:15:14Will you listen to Lieutenant McLennan?
00:15:16If you want to press charges, madam,
00:15:18we'll hold your husband
00:15:18for the magistrate's court.
00:15:20Now, how'd this all happen?
00:15:23He hit me with a great big pot.
00:15:26Oh, I did not.
00:15:27It was just a little skillet.
00:15:29Well, who started it?
00:15:31I.
00:15:32Oh, I can't remember.
00:15:34Well, I can.
00:15:35When I come home,
00:15:35she started killing it.
00:15:36Now, wait a minute.
00:15:36Maybe you two had better
00:15:37go over there and sit down
00:15:38and talk this thing over.
00:15:39Yeah, now,
00:15:40why don't you do that, huh?
00:15:41Well, all right, all right.
00:15:46That guy starts pushing his wife around.
00:15:48That isn't assault, Tim.
00:15:49You ought to know that.
00:15:50Sure, I know.
00:15:51It's just matrimony.
00:15:54Well, I've got to get away
00:15:55with this time, sister.
00:15:56This girl stole my wife.
00:15:57I was so minded
00:15:58in my own business, Lieutenant McLennan.
00:15:59McLennan.
00:16:01Mike.
00:16:02Just a minute, lady.
00:16:03What's this all about?
00:16:05He doesn't remember me.
00:16:07Oh, don't be a chump, Mike.
00:16:08This is Mary Rogers.
00:16:09Don't you remember little Mary?
00:16:10Mary!
00:16:11Mary Rogers.
00:16:12Oh, my.
00:16:15Where did you find
00:16:16this bundle of sunshine?
00:16:17Don't forget,
00:16:18I saw it first.
00:16:19Wouldn't it be just my luck
00:16:19to have desk duty
00:16:20on a night like this?
00:16:21You're not going to let
00:16:22that spoil our reunion, are you?
00:16:23I should say not.
00:16:24You don't think
00:16:24I'd let you out alone
00:16:25with this hoodlum, do you?
00:16:26Riley, take over.
00:16:27I'll change clothes
00:16:27and be back in a minute.
00:16:28You know,
00:16:28the only time
00:16:29he ever forgot
00:16:29he was a cop
00:16:30was when the station house
00:16:31burned down
00:16:31and then he turned fire.
00:16:33You know,
00:16:33I think I'll phone Benny
00:16:34and have him put a bottle on ice.
00:16:35Can I use your phone, Riley?
00:16:37Sure.
00:16:38Thanks.
00:16:44Well,
00:16:45what do you think?
00:16:47Padme's.
00:16:51Oh, Rose.
00:16:52I like it.
00:16:53Yeah?
00:16:54It must have cost plenty.
00:16:55Oh,
00:16:55when do you see the inside?
00:16:57Of course,
00:16:57you've got to use
00:16:58your imagination.
00:16:59I got one of the young fellas
00:17:00who does some sense
00:17:01for Ziegfeld
00:17:01to do the decorating.
00:17:02A genius.
00:17:04Here's a gold leaf
00:17:05on the stairs,
00:17:05real marble.
00:17:07How do you like the lights?
00:17:08They're beautiful.
00:17:14There's a light switch somewhere.
00:17:15Oh, here it is.
00:17:21Well,
00:17:22what do you say, Mike?
00:17:24You know what it looks like to me?
00:17:25What?
00:17:26A wave.
00:17:26Oh,
00:17:27still talking like a cop, huh?
00:17:28Let me tell you something,
00:17:29Lieutenant.
00:17:30The dough's going to roll
00:17:30in this place
00:17:31like the tide
00:17:32at Coney Island.
00:17:33Yeah?
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:34And just to help
00:17:35an old friend out,
00:17:35you know,
00:17:36for old time's sake,
00:17:37I'm going to cut you in
00:17:38for a little chunk.
00:17:39That's so you won't have
00:17:40to go to the old cop's home
00:17:41when you get flat-footed
00:17:42and bald-headed.
00:17:43I wouldn't invest
00:17:44a plugged nickel.
00:17:45I'll probably raid this place
00:17:46a week after he opens it.
00:17:46Oh,
00:17:47he's going to raid the place
00:17:47with my dragon headquarters?
00:17:49You know his idea
00:17:50of getting someplace
00:17:51as a free-rider sing-sang.
00:17:52Oh,
00:17:53now,
00:17:53Mike,
00:17:53you know that you can't...
00:17:54Listen,
00:17:55do you know
00:17:55what his future's going to be?
00:17:56In 10 years,
00:17:57with luck,
00:17:57he may be a captain.
00:17:58Then he'll have
00:17:58a little home
00:17:59in Flatbush,
00:17:59four kids,
00:18:00and bad plumbing.
00:18:01That's an honest cop.
00:18:02Oh,
00:18:02at least I won't have
00:18:03a number for a name.
00:18:04No,
00:18:04he'll have a police funeral
00:18:05with a brass band
00:18:06that he won't be able to hear.
00:18:06Now,
00:18:07forget I ever knew
00:18:07a king horn
00:18:08by the name of Hampton.
00:18:08Oh,
00:18:09what is that so?
00:18:09Oh,
00:18:09now,
00:18:09boys,
00:18:09you've got to stop this.
00:18:10Mike,
00:18:11did you beat it?
00:18:12She took us serious.
00:18:14Yeah,
00:18:14she took us seriously.
00:18:15No,
00:18:15but really,
00:18:16I've got a proposition
00:18:16for you,
00:18:17Mike.
00:18:18It's a...
00:18:18Hey,
00:18:18Ross,
00:18:19I've been looking
00:18:19all over for you.
00:18:20Well,
00:18:20John,
00:18:20come in,
00:18:21have a chair.
00:18:22I want you to meet
00:18:22a couple of friends of mine.
00:18:23This is Miss By Parker,
00:18:24Mike McGlennan,
00:18:25John McGrady.
00:18:25How do you do?
00:18:26Alderman McGrady.
00:18:27Miss Parker,
00:18:28Miss McGlennan?
00:18:29Take a sack of chips
00:18:29and sit in.
00:18:31I don't want to intrude,
00:18:32but there's a couple of things
00:18:33I wanted to tell you.
00:18:34This is the man
00:18:35that fixes things in town,
00:18:36including murder.
00:18:41The department is concerned.
00:18:42I just got the word.
00:18:43Everybody taken care of, huh?
00:18:45Well,
00:18:45there's a new lieutenant
00:18:46in the precinct,
00:18:47an honest Joe,
00:18:48but he knows
00:18:49he can't buck the machine,
00:18:50so you don't have
00:18:51to worry about him.
00:18:54Did I say something wrong?
00:18:56That's the lieutenant.
00:18:57Ross,
00:18:58you should have told me.
00:18:58Oh,
00:18:59don't worry,
00:18:59John,
00:18:59we're working on him now.
00:19:01When we bring him around,
00:19:02you'll have to make him
00:19:02a captain.
00:19:03You know me,
00:19:04kid.
00:19:05Well,
00:19:05I'd better run.
00:19:06Please do have met you,
00:19:07Miss.
00:19:09Goodbye,
00:19:10John.
00:19:11Ross,
00:19:11you shouldn't have done that.
00:19:13Hey,
00:19:13wait a minute.
00:19:13I thought you were on my side.
00:19:15We've got to wake this guy up.
00:19:17Come on,
00:19:17we're going to have a little plug.
00:19:18Mike,
00:19:19little job.
00:19:20I'm going to wrap the glasses.
00:19:22Well,
00:19:22I'm all set to open.
00:19:23You heard him.
00:19:24Yeah,
00:19:24I heard him.
00:19:25Is everything ready to roll?
00:19:27All I need now
00:19:28is an entertainer.
00:19:30You,
00:19:30you don't know where
00:19:31I can find one,
00:19:31do you,
00:19:32Bob?
00:19:32No,
00:19:32I don't.
00:19:33You sure?
00:19:34I am.
00:19:35Well,
00:19:36let's not talk business.
00:19:37How about a little toast?
00:19:38Now that we're all together,
00:19:42here's hoping
00:19:43we'll always stick together.
00:19:44Forever.
00:19:48Say,
00:19:49we better do that
00:19:50sticking together
00:19:50right now.
00:19:51I thought I'd find you here.
00:19:57You know,
00:19:57you've got another show to do?
00:19:59Some wine,
00:19:59Chappie?
00:20:00Just what do you think
00:20:00you're doing?
00:20:01I'm sorry,
00:20:01Chappie.
00:20:02I didn't realize the time.
00:20:03Never mind the act.
00:20:04You're working for me.
00:20:05Wait a minute,
00:20:06Chappie.
00:20:06It wasn't her fault.
00:20:07I asked her.
00:20:07Be smart.
00:20:08Stay out of this.
00:20:10Get back to the place.
00:20:11Come on,
00:20:11take your hands off her.
00:20:13Bye,
00:20:13you.
00:20:16Well,
00:20:16you're both in
00:20:17for carrying a gun.
00:20:17Skip it,
00:20:18Mike.

00:20:43Oh,
00:20:44what a guy.
00:20:45Say,
00:20:46Mike,
00:20:46I bet you don't remember this.
00:20:47Is that so?
00:20:51East side,
00:20:56west side,
00:20:58all around the town.
00:21:01Hello,
00:21:02Ross,
00:21:03congratulations.
00:21:04You've got a beautiful place.
00:21:05You having fun?
00:21:05Yes, sir.
00:21:06Everything's good.
00:21:07That's fine.
00:21:07Hello,
00:21:08Jack.
00:21:08How are you?
00:21:08Hello,
00:21:09Mary.
00:21:09Come on,
00:21:09Ross,
00:21:09we're waiting for you.
00:21:10Oh,
00:21:11thank you.
00:21:11You're right,
00:21:11thank you.
00:21:12I wouldn't miss it.
00:21:23Let me know when you're ready,
00:21:24boys.
00:21:26Nice one,
00:21:27Mr. Hadley.
00:21:28Hold it.
00:21:29Now.
00:21:31I hope it comes out.
00:21:32Hey,
00:21:32boys,
00:21:33Mrs. Lawrence wants to see you.
00:21:35Oh,
00:21:35of course.
00:21:36Being a wine salesman must be nice work, Bob.
00:21:42Do you want to see me,
00:21:43Faye?
00:21:43The place is open now,
00:21:44honey.
00:21:45Relax.
00:21:45Oh,
00:21:45I can't.
00:21:46I'm too busy.
00:21:47I want to talk to you about that singer.
00:21:49I asked you not to put her on.
00:21:50Now,
00:21:50look,
00:21:50we went all through that last week.
00:21:52She certainly made a big hit that first show,
00:21:54didn't she?
00:21:54Not with me.
00:21:55Now,
00:21:55listen,
00:21:55Faye.
00:21:57Bob,
00:21:58buy a bottle of your best,
00:21:59will you?
00:21:59I think Faye needs a little cooling off.
00:22:02She's awfully good looking,
00:22:04Faye.
00:22:04Faye.
00:22:13Well,
00:22:14hello.
00:22:16Hello yourself.
00:22:19You know,
00:22:19people usually knock.
00:22:21I'm not people.
00:22:22I'm Faye Lawrence,
00:22:23Ross's partner.
00:22:25Oh,
00:22:25really?
00:22:26I,
00:22:27uh,
00:22:27didn't know Mr. Hadley had a partner.
00:22:30Where do you think he got that roadster he's been supporting you around in?
00:22:34I'll get right to the point.
00:22:36I don't like your act.
00:22:38When I backed Ross,
00:22:39I told him I wanted our place to have class.
00:22:42Oh,
00:22:42I,
00:22:44uh,
00:22:45I suppose you mean I'm fired?
00:22:48You get the idea.
00:22:50We'll pay you off tonight.
00:22:52What is this?
00:22:53Oh,
00:22:54nothing.
00:22:54Your partner just gave me my walking papers.
00:22:58Didn't I tell you to keep your nose out of my business?
00:23:00Your business happens to have $35,000 of mine in it.
00:23:03That was a loan.
00:23:04It doesn't make you a partner.
00:23:05This is a good time to pay you off.
00:23:07Ross,
00:23:08you mean to say she loaned you $35,000?
00:23:11Brother,
00:23:12you certainly earned it.
00:23:13Why,
00:23:13you gutter snipe.
00:23:14You ought to,
00:23:15you ought to what?
00:23:19Listen,
00:23:20Ross,
00:23:21honey,
00:23:21I only figured that Miss Parker wasn't the type of act we wanted in the place.
00:23:24Thanks for the loan of your dough.
00:23:25Now,
00:23:25come on.
00:23:26Oh,
00:23:26take your hands off me.
00:23:27You can't get away with this,
00:23:28you cheap little gambler.
00:23:29I can't show you something.
00:23:31Oh,
00:23:31good evening,
00:23:32Miss Lawrence.
00:23:33Great night,
00:23:33ain't it?
00:23:33Some people just can't stand prosperity.
00:23:39Ross,
00:23:39you really are a caveman.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:43That's the only way to handle a girl like that.
00:23:46Now,
00:23:46you,
00:23:47you're different.
00:23:49You got to be sweetened.
00:23:51You know,
00:23:52gentle up a bit.
00:23:53Wait a minute,
00:23:54Ross.
00:23:55You said you had every dime in the place.
00:23:57That's right.
00:23:57Where did you get $35,000 to pay her off?
00:24:00Wait till she sees the date on that chick.
00:24:02By the time it's good,
00:24:03there'll be $35,000 in the bank to cover it.
00:24:05It's lined up six deep at the table's end.
00:24:08You really are a character.
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:11We're a couple of characters.
00:24:14Ross,
00:24:15you're going to have trouble with her.
00:24:18What do you mean?
00:24:18Oh,
00:24:19a woman scorned,
00:24:20all that kind of thing.
00:24:21You know.
00:24:21Hey,
00:24:22wait a minute.
00:24:22You don't think she means anything to me,
00:24:24do you?
00:24:24What difference would it make if she did?
00:24:27Well,
00:24:27I just don't want you to get the wrong idea.
00:24:29But,
00:24:29Ross,
00:24:30I only work here.
00:24:31Oh,
00:24:32let's forget it.
00:24:32How about celebrating tonight?
00:24:34I wish I could,
00:24:35but
00:24:35I,
00:24:36uh,
00:24:37I've got a date.
00:24:38Yeah?
00:24:39With who?
00:24:39All right.
00:24:42Well,
00:24:42here he is now.
00:24:43Oh,
00:24:44Michael,
00:24:45huh?
00:24:46So you're beating the time.
00:24:47What?
00:24:47Where are you taking her,
00:24:48you lucky stiff?
00:24:50Oh,
00:24:51I'm going to take her to a place
00:24:52that's got yours beat a mile.
00:24:53With a change of decorations every season.
00:24:55Wait till you see it,
00:24:55why it's beautiful.
00:24:56And the music,
00:24:58I can hear it now.
00:25:01Bags of penis,
00:25:01Tony.
00:25:02Show fresh in the heart.
00:25:07There you are.
00:25:09How do you like the music?
00:25:11Central Park Symphony.
00:25:12I haven't heard it for years.
00:25:22Mary.
00:25:24Yes,
00:25:24Mike?
00:25:25Do you ever think of giving up this
00:25:26garter girl business
00:25:27and doing something else?
00:25:28Like what,
00:25:29for instance?
00:25:30Well,
00:25:30I don't know.
00:25:31Some girls like housekeeping.
00:25:34Offering me a job,
00:25:35Mike?
00:25:35No,
00:25:36it's just,
00:25:37well,
00:25:37you know how I've been feeling about you
00:25:39since you came back?
00:25:40Oh,
00:25:40Mike,
00:25:40I...
00:25:41It isn't as much of an offer.
00:25:42We had a copper's wife,
00:25:44maybe a little house in Brooklyn.
00:25:46Nothing exciting about it.
00:25:47There's two people
00:25:48caring so much for each other
00:25:49that nothing else in the world matters.
00:25:50Well,
00:25:52sometimes I think that's the only thing
00:25:54that's important,
00:25:54two people being together like that.
00:26:00And then I remember Ma sweating over a washboard
00:26:03while the old man was out catching drinks somewhere.
00:26:07I really think they were close together, too,
00:26:10but smelly tenements
00:26:11and not knowing where the next nickel was coming from
00:26:13kind of got in the way.
00:26:14No,
00:26:16Mike,
00:26:16I guess the bright thing to do
00:26:18is to get what you can
00:26:19while the getting is good.
00:26:20You sound like Ross.
00:26:23Yeah,
00:26:23I guess we are pretty much alike.
00:26:26Maybe you two would be better off together.
00:26:29I've been worried about him though lately.
00:26:31He wants to take Manhattan
00:26:32with his fingers
00:26:33and spin it like a silver dollar.
00:26:3520,
00:26:4540,
00:26:4560,
00:26:4680,
00:26:46100.
00:26:47That's 9,500 up to now, boss.
00:26:50We suddenly put it over, Ross.
00:26:53What's on your mind, Mike?
00:26:54Well,
00:26:55you couldn't have opened
00:26:55if I hadn't pulled a few strings.
00:27:00Your cut isn't big enough,
00:27:01is that it?
00:27:02Now,
00:27:03let's keep it all nice and friendly, Ross.
00:27:06Yeah,
00:27:06yeah,
00:27:06that's the way I want it.
00:27:08I think I ought to get about
00:27:0910% more,
00:27:11don't you think?
00:27:12Oh, sure.
00:27:13Sure,
00:27:13there's enough to go around
00:27:14for everybody.
00:27:15Now,
00:27:15don't give it another thought.
00:27:16I knew you'd take it that way, Ross.
00:27:18You're a white man
00:27:19if I ever saw one.
00:27:21Have a cigar, Mike.
00:27:22Thanks.
00:27:27Take the box.
00:27:28You might as well have a place
00:27:29to keep it.
00:27:30Thanks, Ross.
00:27:33See you soon.
00:27:34Good night, Ross.
00:27:36Good night, Benny.
00:27:39Benny,
00:27:39you see that guy?
00:27:40Sure, boss.
00:27:41I ain't blind.
00:27:43Remind me to do something
00:27:44about him
00:27:44around election time.
00:27:45No.
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:48I don't know.
00:27:48I don't know.
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:50THE END
00:28:20THE END
00:28:50Very careful, Butterfingers. Take it easy. Want to give it away?
00:28:55I got it. Well, take care of it.
00:28:59Hi, Ross.
00:29:02Hello, John.
00:29:07Well, how are the returns coming in?
00:29:09A little slow, but it's always like that in the morning. We got nothing to worry about.
00:29:13Oh, I'm sure we haven't. I want to thank you for the way you've come through in the campaign. You've been a big help.
00:29:18John, what's a friend for?
00:29:20That's what I always say. Well, got a lot of calls to make. See you tonight at the celebration.
00:29:26Whoever may.
00:29:27Well, hello, Mac. How are you? How have you been?
00:29:42Why, uh, Florida.
00:29:43No, I haven't been in Florida in years. I've been, uh, look. Vote for Anderson.
00:29:50Okay, pal.
00:29:56Well, Eddie.
00:29:58Hello, Sandy.
00:30:00How are you?
00:30:01Pretty good.
00:30:01How's the kids?
00:30:02Oh, fine.
00:30:03That's good. Uh, look.
00:30:07Vote for Anderson.
00:30:09But the button says vote for McGrady.
00:30:11Never mind what the button says. Who's giving me the dough? Me or the button?
00:30:15Do as you're told and vote for Anderson.
00:30:17Okay, then.
00:30:21Oh, hello, Mac. How are you?
00:30:22Oh, don't tell me.
00:30:32Pipe down me, bucko.
00:30:34Does your mother know you're out?
00:30:35Hi, Jack. Hello.
00:30:36How are you hitting, Frank?
00:30:37Oh, Mike.
00:30:38Hello, Ross.
00:30:39I see your man lost.
00:30:41Oh.
00:30:42No, my man won.
00:30:43What do you mean?
00:30:44Two beers.
00:30:46I thought that McGrady was a...
00:30:48I didn't ask you to meet me to talk about has-beens.
00:30:50Tonight marks a milestone for Ross Hadley and you, too.
00:30:54Thanks, Jim.
00:30:55Keep it.
00:30:58What do you got on your mind?
00:30:59Well, we're going to take a little walk together.
00:31:01After we've had our beer.
00:31:04Good.
00:31:12Well, if it ain't the big gambling mogul.
00:31:14I'll accept that, Toby.
00:31:15Fill it up.
00:31:16Say, tell me you got the biggest players in town.
00:31:18Why don't you come up sometime?
00:31:19I'll let you make a little dough.
00:31:20Ross sure has the tenderloin to the tail, hasn't he, Mike?
00:31:22Yeah.
00:31:23Remember, once we tried to get him to take a job behind your bar.
00:31:26Toby, I want to tell you Mike's the greatest pal a guy could have.
00:31:29Of course, he's a little dumb in the head, but I'm going to smarten him up.
00:31:31What's my good luck is going to be his good luck.
00:31:34Wait a minute, Ross.
00:31:35Toby will think I'll get the cut.
00:31:37Will you listen to him, Toby?
00:31:39You know, he belongs in the Museum of Natural History next to the two-headed baby.
00:31:42Don't let him rag you, Mike.
00:31:44Set him up again on me.
00:31:45Excuse me.
00:31:46Thanks.
00:31:47The big glasses.
00:31:48Not for me.
00:31:48Oh, come on.
00:31:49Oh, this is all right.
00:31:51Henry!
00:31:54Henry!
00:31:54Well, if it ain't our ex-alternant.
00:31:57What's on your mind, Mac?
00:31:58I'll show you what's on me mind.
00:32:00Pretend you're working for me and all the time double-crossing me for Anderson.
00:32:03Well, it was good business, Mac.
00:32:04You dirty, underhanded crook.
00:32:06You'll never turn on anybody again.
00:32:08Don't make me cry, Mac.
00:32:19You got yours while it lasted.
00:32:21But you have to be greedy.
00:32:22Sorry, Mr. Grady.
00:32:23I'll have to take you in.
00:32:24Sold with a deadly weapon.
00:32:25No, no, no, Mike.
00:32:26I won't press charges.
00:32:27How about taking that little walk?
00:32:33Buy the tramp a beer.
00:32:36Come on with me, Mac.
00:32:37Hey, what's the idea of bringing me to the police station?
00:32:45Well, I don't ask so many foolish questions.
00:32:47Come on.
00:32:53Mary!
00:32:54You get me waiting, Mike.
00:32:57Say, what is this?
00:32:58What are you two cooking up, anyway?
00:33:00Shall we, um, tell him?
00:33:01No, let him guess.
00:33:11Ross, how many times have I told you?
00:33:13Anderson just found out that you were a friend of mine.
00:33:14I had nothing to do with it.
00:33:15But I can't take this promotion.
00:33:17I haven't earned it.
00:33:18Oh, he hasn't earned it.
00:33:18He just saved my life, that's all.
00:33:20For that, the commissioner will probably break me.
00:33:22Come on, Pye, go to work on him.
00:33:24Gotta wake this chump up.
00:33:25Look, Mike, I know how you feel.
00:33:28But you can't buck a whole system.
00:33:32And it's for your own good.
00:33:33You know that.
00:33:35I can't do it, Mary.
00:33:36This gives everything I've ever believed in.
00:33:37Oh, no, Mike, it isn't.
00:33:39You deserve the job.
00:33:42And besides,
00:33:43there are a lot of things you want
00:33:45that this job can get for you.
00:33:49No strings attached?
00:33:50Mm-mm.
00:33:52All right, I'm sold.
00:33:53Well, now you're talking sense, Captain McGlennan.
00:33:56Congratulations, Mike.
00:33:57Thanks.
00:33:58Thanks, Ross.
00:34:00I guess I could say I got something in my eye.
00:34:03Well, clear it up and look out the window.
00:34:10There it is, Mike.
00:34:11Little old New York.
00:34:14Did you ever see anything more beautiful?
00:34:15And it's all ours.
00:34:19Just like we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:34:31Well, what about it?
00:34:32Sounds pretty risky.
00:34:33Even for $20,000?
00:34:37You must be pretty burned with him
00:34:39to be offering that sort of cash.
00:34:40What have you got to laugh about?
00:34:41He's got most of your business.
00:34:43You'll be lucky if he don't get you closed.
00:34:46Don't rub it in.
00:34:47Bring the boys in, Danny.
00:34:49Yeah.
00:34:49Come on.
00:34:54Studs.
00:34:57All right.
00:34:59Hello, boys.
00:35:00Gibson and Banco.
00:35:01They're from Philly.
00:35:02Hi.
00:35:03Glad to know you.
00:35:03Have a cigar?
00:35:04No, no, thanks.
00:35:05Come here, boys.
00:35:10Did Danny explain the layout to you?
00:35:13Yeah, this Hadley guy.
00:35:15Yes, that's right.
00:35:16Now, every Friday night,
00:35:18he goes down to Toby's place
00:35:19to have a couple of beers
00:35:20with this copper pallet of his,
00:35:22this Captain McGlennan.
00:35:24Give him the dope, Danny.
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:27Look.
00:35:30Toby's is right on this corner, see?
00:35:32Gibson.
00:35:34You and me will be laying
00:35:35from down the block.
00:35:38You, Franco.
00:35:39You tell him on the way there
00:35:40just in case he smells a mouse, see?
00:35:43Now, let's get this straight.
00:35:45I don't want no miss-ups, see?
00:35:46We never miss.
00:35:47Don't worry about us.
00:35:49Okay.
00:35:54Half the suckers come here to see you,
00:35:56so I think you ought to have a little bonus.
00:35:58And such a wonderful bonus.
00:36:00Are you this kind to all your employees?
00:36:02No.
00:36:02Just the beautiful ones.
00:36:08Ross, you messed up my makeup.
00:36:11You know, I have a show to do in 15 minutes.
00:36:14Well, you go right ahead.
00:36:15I've got a date myself.
00:36:16Huh?
00:36:16Friday night?
00:36:17Mm-hmm.
00:36:17Give my love to Mike.
00:36:18That I will.
00:36:19Shall I send him a little kiss?
00:36:21No, and you wipe that lipstick off.
00:36:24Else Benny will think I stabbed you.
00:36:26Why?
00:36:27Now, look, boss.
00:36:45I don't want to be no creep hanger.
00:36:47But Chappie's been having a couple of strange rock men
00:36:49hanging around with him these last few days.
00:36:51Oh, he's going to get tough, huh?
00:36:52Well, the way you've been taking his play,
00:36:54everybody knows he's out to get you.
00:36:55Now, listen, Benny.
00:36:56Someday I hope I have a real sickness.
00:36:58Then you can nurse me.
00:36:59Look after things when I'm gone.
00:37:00All right, and you be sure to look after yourself.
00:37:02Do you hear?
00:37:29Did you read about that fellow playing one of those new area
00:37:31plays all the way to Pasadena?
00:37:33Bumpered in a crash and halfway across the country.
00:37:36Here's the article here.
00:37:38Oh, Bobby.
00:37:39Oh, hello, Mike.
00:37:40He ain't come in yet.
00:37:41How's Triggs?
00:37:42Haven't seen her lately.
00:37:43Hey, Jim.
00:38:01Wonderful figure.
00:38:25Have you got a phone?
00:38:29Yes, it's right over there, sir.
00:38:30Right.
00:38:31And in the second act.
00:38:32And she took her cape off.
00:38:42Come on, get out.
00:38:43I don't want to spoil that nice upholstery.
00:38:45What is this, a stick-up?
00:38:46You've been following me.
00:38:47One of Chappie's monsters, huh?
00:38:48Chappie?
00:38:48I don't even know.
00:38:50Listen, I'm not a citizen sitting.
00:38:51I'm not a citizen, huh?
00:38:53I guess this must be a teething ring for your baby.
00:38:55Now start talking.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:57Okay, I'll wait for Chappie.
00:38:59They're laying for you up at Toby's.
00:39:00Let me go now, will you?
00:39:01Go on, get out.
00:39:03Hurry up.
00:39:03Let me out.
00:39:06I hear that I have to talk about building a new subway.
00:39:12Conversation, that's all it is.
00:39:13Another scheme to spend some old silly money.
00:39:15Hello, uh, Kelly?
00:39:18This is Tim Riley.
00:39:20Was that farmer in from Yonkers this evening?
00:39:23Oh, he left them, did he?
00:39:25White ones?
00:39:27Ah, that's good.
00:39:28My wife wouldn't have a brown egg in the house.
00:39:36We ought to be along any second.
00:39:38Run around and watch for your man.
00:39:45Don't shoot him!
00:39:50Gunshots!
00:40:06The other one.
00:40:07Get him inside.
00:40:09All right.
00:40:09What happened, Mike?
00:40:23I don't know.
00:40:24I didn't see it.
00:40:25I was inside.
00:40:30Ross, do you know that man?
00:40:32No.
00:40:33Never saw the poor sucker before.
00:40:34There never was a finer boy than Tim Riley.
00:40:42I'd like to get my hands on the man that killed him.
00:40:45You'll get your wish, Lenny.
00:40:46We'll get every man in the police force to look for a guy with a slug in his leg.
00:40:49Yes, sir.
00:40:54Take it easy, Len.
00:40:55Take it easy.
00:40:56What happened to Franco?
00:40:58He was telling Hadley.
00:41:00I guess he got away as soon as he heard the shooting.
00:41:02Yes?
00:41:04It's Faye.
00:41:15They got him.
00:41:17Good.
00:41:19Danny stopped a slug.
00:41:20From Ross?
00:41:21Nah, a cop.
00:41:23He came out of nowhere.
00:41:24He got Gibson and I got him.
00:41:26I'll have the money for you as soon as the bank opens in the morning.
00:41:28Come on.
00:41:32Must be Franco now.
00:41:33Better cover up that leg till we see.
00:41:39Hadley.
00:41:42Hello, Faye.
00:41:44Everything nice and cozy?
00:41:45What do you want?
00:41:47Well, it just came over me all of a sudden, Chappie.
00:41:49The Manhattan Island is getting a bit too crowded.
00:41:52Now, personally, I hate ferry boats.
00:41:54So I'm afraid it'll be up to you.
00:41:56I don't get you.
00:41:58Well, think it over and you will.
00:42:01I'd suggest you have a doctor take a look at that leg, Danny.
00:42:12There he is.
00:42:14He didn't have sense enough to stay away from the doctors.
00:42:17What's the rat?
00:42:18What do they mean pulling me out of my hotel room without even a warrant or anything?
00:42:22What's the charge?
00:42:23Killing an officer named Riley.
00:42:25Riley, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:27I want to see my lawyer.
00:42:28You'll talk to us first.
00:42:30Take him out and make him talk.
00:42:31That's one job I'm going to enjoy.
00:42:34Get in there.
00:42:37Johnson will find out what was behind that fracas.
00:42:39One thing I know.
00:42:41Danny Mays mixed up with a gambling racket.
00:42:43Tim Riley died because of it.
00:42:44Lieutenant Carr to riot squad.
00:42:46We're going to close every gambling joint at Tenderloin.
00:42:49It's your neck if you do, Captain.

00:46:18now just a minute Mcglennan
00:46:20what's so funny
00:46:21that was just a sort of test
00:46:23I had to make sure
00:46:25I'm Thomas J. Dennis
00:46:27special prosecutor for the governor's anti-crime committee
00:46:32what's that got to do with me
00:46:33the governor's decided it's time the state took a hand in straightening out this town
00:46:37frankly I liked your one-man attempt to clean up the tenderloin
00:46:42yeah send me a lot of good
00:46:44well that
00:46:46how would you like to work as my special investigator
00:46:50with full powers to finish what I started
00:46:52that's about it
00:46:54where do we begin
00:46:56it's up to you
00:46:58the
00:47:05the
00:47:07the
00:47:09the
00:47:11the
00:47:13the
00:47:28what are you going to do about it Anderson
00:47:29I know you're a big shot ultimate you can get in your shed
00:47:32share. Now, what are you going to do about this? Yeah, John, our places are closed tighter than a
00:47:37blue-pointed oyster. These things occur periodically. I'm sure we can avert any really disastrous
00:47:42consequences. I know you went to Harvard, but don't give us any of those educated words you
00:47:46learned up in Cambridge. What happened? Oh, don't be an oil can. This is the fourth committee we've
00:47:52had in three years. Just where did the rest of them get? The rest of them didn't have McLennan.
00:47:57He's got a point there, Chappy. In a couple of more weeks, these yellow sheets won't have anything
00:48:01more to print. The public will lose interest, and the governor will tie a can to that committee.
00:48:06Yeah, maybe. Just let's see what happens, eh? We'll meet again next week. Yeah, you ought to get
00:48:12Ross Hadley. He's a smart operator. All right, I'll do that. See you later, boys. Goodbye, Chappy.
00:48:17You know, there's double dealing. Well, you don't want to worry too much about these things.
00:48:23Politicians have to make a reputation, you know. Goodbye. See you all later.
00:48:31Wasn't I right about that committee? This one won't dissolve a lack of public interest,
00:48:37Wilson. Why not? The Glennon's preparing a hot story for the papers as soon as interest
00:48:42slackens. A murder charge against you and Miss Lawrence. What? What are you talking about?
00:48:49Riley's shooting. I have a certain friend in Mr. Dennis's office. He just gave me the information
00:48:54this morning. So they sweated the confession out of your bright boy, Danny. Well, now, don't put
00:48:58this on me. So far, Danny's only talked to McLennan. How much, I couldn't say. Well, we've
00:49:04got to do something about this. If you could discredit McLennan in some way, before he pleases
00:49:08his charges with the grand jury, you'd save yourself, and at the same time, you'd probably
00:49:12explode the entire committee. Frame him? I don't like the expression. He's pretty steamed
00:49:18up about that two-bit warbler of Ross's, Vi Parker. Sometimes even a cold proposition like
00:49:24McGlennan can be handled through a dame. I'll get in touch with Yellow Gloves Weldon.
00:49:29Whiskey. That'll be 2.30, Mr. Rogers. Yes, we'll just add something for yourself, my good chap,
00:49:55and put it on my cheek, will you? Nothing doing. Toby says no more credit. Well, you can't be
00:50:02serious. I mean, after all the business I bring, oh, it's ridiculous. Well, now, wait
00:50:09to me if you're serious about it. Naturally, I'm, I'm, I could have sworn I broke my wallet
00:50:14with you. Well, you could, could you? Yes. The last time you'll come in here and order a drink
00:50:17and not paper it. Well, just a minute, bartender. What do you want? Take his bill out of this.
00:50:25Well, thank you, sir. I can see that you're a gentleman of the first rank. Quite all right.
00:50:31Will you join me in a drink, sir? Thank you. It would be a privilege. Mr., Mr. Weldon's
00:50:35the name. Mr. Weldon, of course. You're changed. Oh, just keep that, my good foot. May I help
00:50:40you? I, I should like to explain this rather embarrassing situation, Mr. Weldon. Quite
00:50:47all right. Quite all right. Oh, is it? Shall I pour? Yes, if you will, please.
00:50:51And after all, you can imagine the indigity to a man of my position. I made the girl what
00:51:00she is. She owes everything to me. A man like you should always have money in his pocket.
00:51:07My friend, I, I feel that I can call you my friend. To the grave. To the grave. Thank
00:51:15you. That's very sweet. I, um, I have a little business proposition that might interest you.
00:51:22It requires a fine, dignified man of your type. Well, there's a pile of cash in it. You
00:51:29wouldn't ever have to ask your daughter for another nickel. Speak on, my friend. I'm definitely
00:51:36the interest. Ross, why don't you let me go? The place is closed. There's no sense paying
00:51:45me a salary just for sticking around. You've got a contract. Work it out. I know, but then
00:51:49I'm going to let you open. Well, I'll worry about that, kid. Why don't you let me talk to
00:51:54Mike? I'm asking no favors from cops. All right, all right. Oh, look, boy, we both got
00:52:03the willies. Let's give this town the bounce and have some fun, huh? Will you stop thinking
00:52:08about Mike? He lives in a different world. You wouldn't last in it a week. Now, we're
00:52:12both looking for the same thing. We need action. It ain't no blood to sit around and mope.
00:52:16Well, I'm getting fed up. Oh, sure. Now, look, boy, I got a good piece of dough stashed away,
00:52:21see? The two of us can go down to Florida, and then when we come back, this will all be
00:52:24over, and we can open again bigger and better than ever. What do you say? Oh, I don't
00:52:29know what, I... Don't think about it. I'll meet you here tonight, huh? It was my whole
00:52:42life's savings, every cent I had in the world. How can I go back and tell my family? How
00:52:49much money did they get? $10,000. I tell you, Mr. McGlennan, no respect to a visitor.
00:52:54Safe in this city. That's what this commission's trying to do, clean up the town. If there's
00:52:59anything you can tell me that might help, have you a description of these men? Yes, one
00:53:05of them has a little mustache, is always well-dressed, and wears yellow gloves. Yellow gloves? Yes,
00:53:12he introduced his partner as Mr. Richardson. What does Mr. Richardson look like? Well, he was
00:53:19a medium-sized man, about 60, dressed very fancy, and talked with a lot of fancy words,
00:53:25too. One time, I think the other man called him Roberts or Rogers, something like that.
00:53:32Of course. Well, I don't think he meant to. It was just a slip of the tongue. And, uh, McGlennan?
00:53:41He took it like a mackerel. Hook, line, and sinker. Well, that's fine. That's fine. Well,
00:53:51well, going somewhere, my dear? Yes, I'm going on a short vacation. But I'll keep sending you
00:53:59your allowance. It may interest you to know that I no longer need your handouts. Well,
00:54:05that does interest me very much. What have you been up to? Now, never you mind. But there
00:54:11are some people who appreciate my value in a business way. Hello? Mr. McGlennan's here,
00:54:22Miss Parker. He said he wants to see her. Will you tell Mr. McGlennan that I can't see
00:54:25him right now? She said she's busy. She can't see her. Listen, Mary, I've got to see. It's
00:54:30about your father. It's important. All right, Mike. Come on in. What does Mike want? Suppose
00:54:38you tell me. Oh, my. Something must have gone wrong. Look, now, Mary, you've got to get
00:54:42me out of it. You're my child. Oh, all right. Look, go back there and hurry up. Come in,
00:54:52Mike. Hello, Mary. Is your father here? What's he done? He's got mixed up with the yellow gloves
00:55:01welded. They flim-flamed a man from Akron, Ohio, out of $10,000. Oh, the fool. I'm sorry,
00:55:08Mary. I'm going to have to take him in. Oh, Mike, you can't do that. You can't send that
00:55:15crazy old man to jail. Mike, if ever I've meant anything to you, get him out of this.
00:55:25Mary, you don't know what you're asking me to do. Look, Mike, I've worked for him ever
00:55:30since I was a little kid. I've watched over him. I can't let him down now. And you can't
00:55:36let me down. You said you loved me. Remember? Tell her to come in. All right, come on in.
00:55:46Mike wants to talk to you. Mike, it wasn't my fault. Oh, now, don't let him get me, will
00:55:50you? Because I'd die in jail. You know that. There's no good. You never have been. Why
00:55:55should I give you a break? Oh, please, listen. They talked me into it. I couldn't help it.
00:55:58I thought I... Stop your whining. Mary's been supporting you since she was a kid. I ought to do
00:56:03a fair and lock you up for good. Then you're not going to help it? Who said I wasn't? You
00:56:10going to cough up that money or aren't you? You haven't got any right to shove me around.
00:56:14What about the money? How do I know you'll give it back to Ball, sir? Why, all right,
00:56:19all right. I'll give it to you. If I do, you ain't going to make any complaint. Is that
00:56:23it? Where's the money? Okay. It's all there, every
00:56:33cent. If I catch you hanging around Rodgers again, I'll tell you limb from limb.
00:56:49Murray Hill, 5598. Yeah.
00:56:52Oh, hello, Chappie? Yeah, like a charm. What do you mean, was it marked? Every last cent?
00:57:07You bet. Here are the serial numbers. You got a pencil? You agree to drop all charges. Is
00:57:14that correct? Yes, indeed, Mr. McClendon. My only interest is to get my money back. All right,
00:57:19there you are. Oh, thank you so much, Mr. McClendon. You've no idea what this means
00:57:25to me. When I came to New York, I had no idea how far I live. You can trust people. You'd better
00:57:30put that in the bank. All ready to go? Yeah, I'm all ready. What's the matter, Mike? Oh, the old
00:57:51man got himself in a jam. Jam? What kind of a jam? I'll fix it. No, Mike fixed it. Well, then
00:57:57everything's all right. Did you send your truck down? Oh, boss, I got some good news
00:58:04for you. How many times have I told you not to bust in here like this? But this is good
00:58:07news. I just run into Yellow Gloves Wilton. Over at Skins, he stewed to the ears, and he's
00:58:12bragging how they just framed Mike McGlennon. Framed Mike? We haven't had any time to listen
00:58:16to gossip, you know. But this ain't gossip. They planted some marked money on him, then took
00:58:21a picture of him paying off some guy by the name of Bowser to square a flim-flam case against
00:58:25old man. Old man Rogers here. Yeah, that's right. They're going to give the picture and
00:58:30balance a statement in the newspaper tomorrow. That'll put the kibosh on McGlennon and the
00:58:34rest of the committee, see? So that saves our necks. Yeah, it'll certainly do that, Benny.
00:58:39Sure it will. Oh, can I help you? No, wait outside of you. Okay. Well, I guess you won't
00:58:45go away now. No, that's right, Benny. Thanks. So the whole thing was a frame-up? I had nothing
00:58:51to do with it. Honest, I didn't. Mike gave up everything he believed in, for me. Well,
00:58:54it serves him right for being so dumb. Look, Ross, Mike can't stand another break like this.
00:58:59He'll be through completely. You're in love with a guy, aren't you? I said I'd go to Florida,
00:59:05didn't I? All right, all right, don't get sore. I got a couple of things to do. What about
00:59:09Mike? I don't know. Anyway, I can't bother about that. The boat sails in two hours.
00:59:12Hey, Benny, who engineered that frame? Chappie Wilson? Yeah, sure. Him and Faye Lawrence. Yeah.
00:59:35They framed you, Mike. You'll have to do something quick. Yeah. Thanks, Barry. I'll call you back.
01:00:05I wouldn't do that, Chappie. Over here. I'm glad you didn't change the combination on that safe.
01:00:23Wait a minute, Adley. That evidence stirs you as much good as it does me. We can make it to you.
01:00:28Not this time. Don't be a fool. He's just a cop. That's why you're wrong, Chappie. This cop's name
01:00:35is McGlennan. You're not going to get out of here with that stuff. You're not going
01:00:40to stop me. Oh, he's worth a rotten shot, Chappie.
01:00:54You should have taken that furry boy. Hold it up in there. Hold it up in there.
01:01:02Hold it. Hold it up in there. Get him out of here, Charlie. Get this place closed up.
01:01:15Call headquarters, with you.
01:01:23Hello. Give me the police.
01:01:25Oh, Ross, I thought you were never coming back.
01:01:37We'll miss the boat.
01:01:38Forget it.
01:01:39You're not going.
01:01:41Ross, what's the matter?
01:01:42Nothing.
01:01:42Everything's fine.
01:01:43I'm just going alone, that's all.
01:01:45Oh, that was a crazy idea.
01:01:47You know I'm not the kind of a guy to get tied up with a gal.
01:01:50Why are you doing this?
01:01:51Because I do what I want.
01:01:52Yeah, you're in love with Mike anyway.
01:01:56Marry the guy.
01:01:57I just phoned him about...
01:01:59Yeah?
01:02:00I'm sorry I won't be here for the wedding, so I...
01:02:03I brought you both a little present.
01:02:06Go on, look at it.
01:02:08It's kind of expensive, but the best is none too good for my friends.
01:02:14Oh, hello, Mike.
01:02:16Mike, Ross has all the evidence.
01:02:19Well, the whole frame-up is a complete bust.
01:02:20Sure, tomorrow you'll be the biggest guy in town.
01:02:24I wish I could be here to celebrate.
01:02:25Wait a minute, Ross.
01:02:26You're just making it tougher for me.
01:02:28What do you mean?
01:02:30Chappy's dead.
01:02:31Shot.
01:02:33I found this line alongside the body.
01:02:36Well, so what?
01:02:37Maybe the guy was taking music lessons.
01:02:40I'm sorry, Ross.
01:02:41I'd rather cut off my right arm.
01:02:44But I'm still a cop.
01:02:45I've got to take you in.
01:02:46Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I've got a boat to make.
01:02:48I've got the tickets and everything.
01:02:53Well, aren't you going to wish me bon voyage?
01:02:55Ross, you're not going.
01:02:57You won't stop me.
01:02:58Goodbye.
01:03:00Mike.
01:03:01Ross, stop!
01:03:04Goodbye, Mike.
