Tony, no matter how many times you
squeeze him and cluck like an old hen,

price is still 280 a box.

I don't know, Dora.

These don't look as good as the last
load.

Came out of the same field. So maybe
they didn't trim the top leaf, Sue.

Tomatoes couldn't get enough sun.

You had too much sun.

These are the best tomatoes on the
street, and you know it.

But, since I know how Alice suffers
being your wife,

I'll drop in a nickel a box.

That should make her very happy.

All right.

$2 .75 a box. I take the loan.

You've got it.

Oh, hey, Tony.

Tell Alice to call me.

There's a big white sale on downtown.
Thought maybe she'd like to go with me.

A broken leg couldn't keep her away.

Stay healthy, Dora.

Mr.

Coe? Yes?

I'm Del Langer. We talked on the phone
yesterday.

I remember.

You said you wanted to see me.

Well? I represent a company that can
help you, so go.

What makes you think I need help?

Give me a few minutes.

I'll spell it out for you.

Will you talk in my office?

Sit down.

Thank you.

Cuff coffee?

Please, fly.

I'm listening.

I understand the banks have turned down
your application for a $100 ,000 loan.

How'd you find that out?

It's part of my company's business to
find out those things.

Well, your company's wrong.

We're still negotiating.

Well, let's put it this way. If you
don't get the loan, you're in big

And with the money market the way it
is... You do get around, don't you? I

The organization I represent is prepared
to finance you for the entire amount

you need right now.

Just who do you represent, Mr. Laver?

Consolidated Enterprises.

We're listed on the stock exchange.

Why would your outfit give me this loan
when the banks won't?

Oh, let's say we have more faith in your
ability than the banks have.

How much would this faith cost me? My
right arm?

All we'd want is a 20 % interest in your
business.

That's my right arm.

I haven't had a partner in 30 years.

And I don't want to start now.

You don't want to see that 30 years go
down the drain either.

They will if you don't get the loan.

I'd still control and run the entire
operation my own way.

No problem.

Consolidated would be strictly a silent
partner.

Interested? Maybe.

I still need time to think it over.

My office.

You give me a call when you've reached a
decision.

I'll let you know.

Fine.

That's it, then.

Mrs. Copeland, we can do each other a
lot of good.

We'll see.

Goodbye, Mr. Laver.

I ought to talk to Robert Ironside.

changes too much around here, about like
it was 20 years ago.

How much can you change a head of
letters?

Dora, why all the aggravation?

All these years, nothing but
aggravation.

Oh, Mario, what is it this time?

What's happening now?

She asks.

So innocent, she asks what she did. All
the time, she cuts my throat.

Oh, how did they do that? How?

I'll tell you how. You stole my buyer
from me. That's how.

Oh.

Tony has two good eyes.

He saw what you had, what I had. He
picked my loan. Those things happen.

happen when you drop your price a nickel
a box. That's when they happen. It

won't happen again, I promise, Mario.

28 years I've been hearing that. It
won't happen again, I promise, Max.

good ones, Mrs. Wante?

Yes, there's many good ones to choose
from, Mrs. Copeland.

Yeah, they're not too bad.

What's the price of these, Mrs.
Copeland? This box will cost you 50

Thank you,

Ramona. I'm making some cheese tonight.

I will thank them and bring it to you.

My favorite.

Go easy on the sauce.

That last almost burned a hole in my
stomach.

I'll remember that. Why doesn't she just
give it to him for free?

You know the answer to that, Mark. This
way they both keep their dignity and

each other's friendship.

You drive

a

hard bargain, Dora.

Robert.

Oh, it's been too long a time.

It's good to see you again.

Mark Sanger, Mrs. Dora Copeland. Hello,
Mark. Mrs. Copeland.

Well, are you taking good care of old
Grumpy here?

I make sure that he eats his greens
every day.

You two should form an act.

He hasn't changed in all the years we've
known each other. How many is that?

Oh, I was a rookie cop. This was my
first beat.

Then you made all the mistakes a rookie
makes.

I remember one I made with you.

You make a mistake, this I gotta hear.

I took an apple from Dora's stand
without paying for it. I figured it was

traditional that a free apple went with
the job.

It was a golden delicious, I remember.

What happened?

Next day, Dora gave me a bill for one
apple.

Golden delicious.

At retail prices.

Cup of coffee? No, thank you.

That seems like only yesterday.

that's ancient history.

Right now, I have got a little problem.
That's the reason I called you.

What's the problem?

Money. I need a lot more than I have.

How could that be?

It's those big storms we had last
winter.

Those storms hurt you that badly?

Over 70 % of my farmland and equipment
was flooded out or destroyed.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, well, those things happen.

But with money as tight as it is right
now,

The banks are holding back on giving me
the kind of loan I need.

Maybe they think I'm getting a little
too old.

What about private backing?

Now, that's what I wanted to talk to you
about.

I've got this outfit that's willing to
back me completely.

And the deal seems like a pretty good
one.

But you're not sure?

Not all the way.

And before I commit myself and my
business, I want to be sure.

It sure saves a lot of headaches later
on.

Believe it.

Now, they tell me this company is listed
on the New York Stock Exchange.

But that doesn't mean anything to me.

All my life, I have dealt with people.

I've wheeled and dealed with them over a
desk or a bar or a crate of melons.

I know them. They know me.

Those people also like and respect you.

Well, I'd like to think so.

But these bright young men with their...

Three hundred dollar suits and fancy
perfume and shiny briefcases. They're

a different breed of cat.

I don't play in their league, but you
do. How can I help?

Well, I've asked their representative to
come back.

I'd like you to be here, look them over,
and tell me what you think.

I can give you my opinion.

I don't know how good it'll be.

Oh, it'll be good enough for me.

I'd appreciate it, Robert.

Sure. What's the name of the outfit?

Consolidated Enterprises.

Oh, here comes their man now. He'll be
able to fill you in.

Mr. Laver, I'd like you to meet an old
and dear friend of mine. I know, Mr.

Laver, and I can give you my answer in
one sentence.

If he's involved in any way, don't dirty
your hands.

You have no reason to talk like that.
Graft, bribery, extortion, assault,

attempted murder.

I'd call those reasons.

You might say that. All charges.

Not one conviction.

Unfortunately.

Proof, Ironside.

Without it, it's just a lot of words.

Well, I'd buy every one of them. Get
away from me, Mr. Laver.

Get away and stay away.

Thank you, Robert.

Thank you very much.

It was a decided pleasure.

I think I might have been partners with
a man like that.

Do you know of any other produce people
on the street who've talked with him?

None that I know of. Why?

I just wondered why he singled you out.

Probably found out I was hurting the
most.

Do you know anybody that wants to lend
an old broad $100 ,000?

Not at the moment.

We'll be here if anyone's sent him
around.

All right. I'll keep it in mind.

I'll also look into this consolidated
enterprises outfit he's fronting for.

So long, Mark.

Bye.

She's a tough old gal.

A very fine lady.

Can you help her?

I don't know, Mark, but I'm going to
try.

I had it made, I tell you. I had it
locked up. She was ready to fall, no

Ironside.

I'd like to take him out. Just total him
right out.

You can be angry. Don't be stupid.

We don't play those games anymore.

Not unless it's absolutely necessary.

And it isn't so in this case.

So, what happens now?

Well, we bury it.

Look for something else.

Hurry a couple of million dollars a year
just like that?

Look, you had a very good idea. You
wanted to prove what you could do. They

wanted to move into this town.

That's why they gave you the green
light. With the promise that I'd be in

of the whole operation.

It didn't work out that way.

Don't write me off so quick.

You wrote yourself off.

Look, I can still swing it.

Give me a little more time.

You know, I'd like to see it work out.

I don't like to back a loser, but we
have one rule, and nobody but nobody

it. No bad publicity.

We stay out of the newspapers and off
the television cameras.

We don't make waves.

I know all that, and I can still put
this package together.

All right.

I'm supposed to go back tomorrow, but
I'll call him tonight and tell him that

you're still working on it.

Thanks, Mr. Roth.

Just remember, not even a ripple.

Get the Copeland file and bring it in
here.

Would you mail these out for me tonight,
Miss Turner?

I'll route them off on my way home.

What's on my calendar for tomorrow?

The Johnson divorce hearing in the
morning, room 24.

Ooh, that's going to be a messy one.

And then you have the Harris paternity
suit in Judge Gelden's chambers in the

afternoon. It's going to be a full day
of laughs.

Could you get my wife for me, please?

Then you can call it a night.

Good.

That'll give me time to look for a new
dress.

You may get a miniskirt and I'll pay
half.

Mrs. Copeland?

Good night.

Isn't the residence of that swinging
Copeland family?

I'm not talking until I see my lawyer.

He'll be right home. How are you
feeling?

Ugh, fat and ugly, thank you.

Not to me, you know.

How's muscles doing?

Feisty as ever.

Do you know he's kicked me four times
today?

That's my boy.

Suppose your boy happens to be a girl.

Try, try, try again.

You're terrible.

When are you coming home?

I'm on my way right now.

You need anything?

Just you.

Paul, I'm not fat and ugly, am I?

Wait till I get there, I'll show you.

Beast.

Hurry home.

Trouble?

Not if I can drive this on three tires.

Oh.

Yeah, it'd be a pretty lumpy ride.

Well, I guess I'm in trouble because I
don't have a spare.

There's a service station on the corner.

Thanks. Sure.

Always when I'm in a hurry, something
like this happens.

I know the feeling. Are you late to
someplace?

Work.

I'm a private nurse on night duty this
week.

Where at? My patient lives on Wilton
Place, near 7th.

I go right by there. I'd be glad to give
you a lift.

Thanks, but I'll go on over to the
service station.

Sorry, I can't be more help.

Uh, mister?

Do you work near here?

That office building out there, I'm a
lawyer.

I'm happily married, and all I want is
to help you get to work on time.

Any other questions?

Just one.

Is your offer of a ride to work still
open?

Open.

is Paul Copeland.

Kathy Laurie.

Hi.

What made you change your mind?

You didn't push.

I like men who don't push.

Does that happen a lot with you?

Enough to make me back off when I see it
coming.

You said you're a lawyer?

Do you like it?

Well, there's nothing else I want to do.

I'll bet you're good at it.

I've, uh, I still got a lot to learn.

What about you? You like the nursing
profession?

Oh, I did it first.

It, uh, was a challenge.

Exciting and rewarding.

And now?

Now I know that everyone grows old, and
that makes me mad.

Take a left at the next corner, and it's
the third apartment from the corner.

I'd like to thank you for the lift.

Oh, my pleasure. I enjoyed the
conversation.

So did I.

You did say you're married.

Right up to my eyeballs.

And you're too nice to want to play
games?

And too chicken.

If I ever break a leg, I'll be sure and
call you.

Please do.

Well, goodbye, and thanks again for the
lift.

What the hell are you doing?

How to raise your child so he won't hate
you.

Imagine.

Hey, what happened to you?

You know, you won't believe this, honey,
but... Don't tell me Mrs. Turner

scratched you.

I was afraid you'd find out.

Remind me not to wave letter openers
around when I talk.

Poor baby.

The idea of being a daddy's making you
nervous.

One of us has to be.

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll come
through it just fine.

Dinner in two minutes.

Mr.

Copeland?

Yes? My employer would like to talk to
you, sir.

Well, fine.

Have him call my office and make an
appointment.

Mr. Copeland, he wants to see you now.

What's it about?

This.

Where is it?

I'll take you to him.

on her face shows up nice and sharp on
that one, doesn't it?

These others are almost as good.

What the hell is this all about? I don't
even know you. A professional

photographer took those.

He used a high -speed film.

Doesn't need a flashbulb. How convenient
for him. He was on his way to cover the

fights.

Happened to pass by your car.

Just like the girl happened to have a
flat tire right near me in the parking

lot. Young ladies under doctor's care.

Emotional stress.

That sort of thing.

I bleed for her.

But in a day or two, she'll recover
enough to file a police report charging

with attempted rape.

Get out of your skull.

It'll never hold up in court.

It will hold up in the newspapers and
television.

I have friends who'll make sure of that.

All the details in living color.

Take a guess what that'll do to your law
practice, Copeland.

You went to a lot of trouble to frame a
struggling lawyer.

I'm lucky to pay my rent much less. You
I could care less about.

It's your mother I'm interested in.

How does she fit into all this?

I offered her a business proposition.
She turned it down. I want you to

her to change her mind. What kind of a
business proposition?

Enough money to put her on her feet for
20 % of the business.

Why are you so anxious to get into the
produce business?

That's not your concern. You just get
your old lady to change her mind and see

things my way.

Yes, sir.

I don't know who you are or why you want
to buy into my mother's business, but

if you think those photographs are going
to make me shill for you, you've made a

big mistake.

Think it over, Copeland.

Like you said, you're a struggling young
lawyer. This could put you right out of

business.

Take your best shot.

Filthy lie.

Cameras don't lie.

Your son's a smart young lawyer. Let him
prove in court it's a lie.

Ironside was so right about you.

So he gets a gold star.

But your son, your only son, gets
destroyed.

Have you talked to Paul about this?

That's why I'm here.

For a smart young lawyer, he acted very
stupid.

He told you to crawl back in the sewer.

And I told him I don't bluff.

Look, Mrs. Copeland, let's not ruin his
little world.

Form the partnership with my company. I
promise to make you a wealthy woman in a

very short time.

If I do agree, you'll destroy this like
it never happened.

I'll have the contracts drawn up and in
my office tomorrow afternoon. I'll call

you when they're ready. It's a
profitable partnership.

Mrs. Copeland, you keep that picture.

And if you start to change your mind,
look at it again.

Look at it real careful.

Your

mother

on one.

Thank you.

Hi, Ma.

Mr. Laver just paid me another visit.

I don't pretend to know how they got
this picture.

Mom, it's the oldest trick in the world.
A girl asked me to give her a lift and

they had a photographer waiting.

I figured it was something like that.

But the point is... I told him to go fly
a kite.

I assume you told him the same.

But are you sure you want me to?

A lot of what he said made sense about
hurting your career.

Thanks, Mom.

But if you cave in, we won't name the
baby after you.

All right, Paul, if that's the way you
want it.

But can an old lady give a bright young
lawyer some advice?

moving up in the world. At least he's
trying to.

Now, I looked into Consolidated
Enterprises. It's one of those

controlled by syndicate money.

Apparently, they want to get a foothold
here, and labor's trying to swing it for

them. Oh, why single out my mother?

For two reasons.

One, she's in trouble and needs quick
money.

The second reason is more vital to them.

Dora, you have an excellent reputation
in the market. The syndicate needs that

in order to expand.

You mean if other produce outfits got
into trouble, they'd come to

for help.

Exactly.

And labor would make sure they did get
into trouble.

Like warehouse fires, trucks hijacked. I
didn't think they'd pull that kind of

stuff anymore.

Only when it's absolutely necessary.

In time, they'd control a large part of
the market.

The thing is to keep them from getting
that first foothold without letting them

wreck your career.

There has to be a way to stop them.
There has to be.

Laver said he'd call you.

As soon as the contracts are ready.

All right, let's see if we can buy a
little time.

You call him.

Tell him you'll need a day or two to go
over the contracts.

Hello. Mr. Laver?

Dora Copeland.

I was just going to call you.

I have the contracts on my desk. When
will you be in to sign them?

Well, I want my tax accountant to go
over them first.

Well, I wanted to wrap this up as soon
as possible.

Could you and your accountant come by my
office this afternoon and take care of

it then?

No, Mr. Laver, you send the contracts to
my office.

If they're in order, I'll sign them and
get them back to you as soon as

possible. When will that be?

Oh, tomorrow or next day.

All right.

I'll, uh...

Have a special messenger deliver them at
once.

You do that, Mr. Laver.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Well, we have an extra two days.

Let's start using them.

You said Laver told you a professional
photographer was on his way to the

when he took these pictures.

Yes. There was a fight card that night.

All right, Ed. Call the newspapers.

Find out which of their photographers
covered the fights.

If you come up dry, check the
freelancers.

Right. Eve.

Check all the nurses' registries, see if
they have a Kathy Loring on their

staff.

When those contracts come in, Dora, I
want to go over them.

What can I do?

Nothing right now.

Have you talked this over with your
wife?

Yes, she knows everything, including
what a jerk she has for her husband.

Karen understands, and she believes what
happened.

She believes it all right.

Then you're home free.

Don't make book on it.

Why not?

Well, when I explained everything to
her, she only asked one question.

What was that?

Would I have picked this gal up if she'd
have been fat and ugly?

Just a minute.

Harry Peck?

Yeah. I'd like to ask you a few
questions.

So ask.

May we come in?

Oh.

Sure.

You covered the fights the night before
last, Mr. Peck?

Yeah. Why?

Did you, uh, take the... Why do you ask?

We were told they were taken by a
professional photographer on his way to

fight. We checked out the newspaper
photographers.

You were the only freelance there.

Yeah, I took them.

Tell me how it happened that you took
them.

Well, it was lucky. Like you said, I was
on my way to the gym when I see this

broad lady struggling in the car with
this guy.

Was she screaming?

No, she wasn't screaming.

But I heard her tell him to leave her
alone.

Go ahead. So I snapped the pictures.

Do you know Del Laver?

No. I don't think so.

He owns a few fighters.

And here's a shot of one of them.

Well, I shoot lots of fighters. I don't
know who they all belong to. Del Laver,

Peck. What about him?

I heard his name kicked around the gym a
few times.

Did he hire you to take these?

Look, mister, I told you how that
happened.

All right.

After you took these, what happened
next?

Well, I told the girl I'd send her the
pictures.

What was her address?

I don't remember.

She wrote her name down, but I threw the
paper away when I was finished with it.

You'll tell it like that in court?

Well, sure.

I have to.

You tell the truth.

Nothing but.

Yeah, you do that.

You tell the truth.

But suppose a lie started to get around.

A lie that said you had copped out to
the police.

I told him it was a frame job set up by
labor.

And then that story got back to him.

Kind of interesting to think about,
isn't it?

You'd better towel off, man. You're
beginning to sweat.

Seventy -four lorings in these telephone
books and only two with the first name

of Catherine.

One a 58 -year -old schoolteacher and
the other happily married with three

Let's face it, we've struck out.

Where's Monk?

He's picking up some law books.

How'd it go?

Peck was our man, but we drew a blank
with him.

He's frightened.

But none of us. He's more afraid of what
labor can do to him.

How'd you make out with the Loring
woman?

She must have given a phony name.

There's no Kathy Loring registered as a
nurse anywhere in the city. And she has

no police record of any kind.

Well, you still have the pictures to
identify her. It's going to take us more

than two days to run her down with
pictures as our only lead.

Unless we know where to look.

Now, Paul Copeland's no fool.

Yet this woman convinced him that she
was exactly what she claimed to be.

She must have put on a good act.

Exactly.

Actress?

Yeah.

Eve? Actors' Equity.

A list of every theater group in town.

Ed, you check out the non -professional
groups.

All right, shouldn't be too hard.

Most of them advertise in the
underground press.

Do you recognize this girl?

Yes, Fuzz.

She's with the Now People.

Thank you.

Ironside. We got lucky. Where? They call
it the Theater of the Now People.

I call it a garbage can with seats.

Is she there?

But she's due pretty soon to rehearse.

What's the address?

1426 Hinden Avenue.

We'll be right over.

Mark?

Man has worn out his welcome on Earth,
and the heavens have watched him do it.

When he finally reaches the stars, he
will find a sign on them that reads, No

vacancy for the human race.

I am the human race. I want to save this
Earth.

How can I do it?

Destroy yourself!

The guy that wrote this is down on
everybody.

He's entitled.

You grooved on that, people!

Play it just like that. Did I project
enough?

Oh, you are a tiger.

But you jump on my lines opening night
and I will turn you into a pussycat.

Why do you always bug him?

Because he is so buggable.

Now I've got to go and unbug him.

Miss Kathy Loring?

Are you a Hollywood agent?

We're from the police department.

Well, then I'm not Kathy Loring.

This says you are.

I photograph better from the left side.

How did you get hold of this? Things
like that eventually get to the police.

But I haven't filed a report yet.

But you intend to.

Well, I'm all for law and order, sir.

Then why don't you tell me what really
happened?

This man tried to pick me up on the
street.

I was waiting for a bus. I refused.

He pulled me into his car, drove off,
and tried to attack me.

That's all there is.

Beautiful. What a reading.

That's how it happened.

You were wearing a nurse's uniform.

Well, that actor was wearing an Indian
headband.

Does that make him Sitting Bull?

What's your tie -in with Del Laver?

I never heard of the man.

Did he promise to get you into pictures
if you did this little acting job for

him? If anyone could get me into
pictures, I'd act up a storm.

But like I said, I never heard of the
man.

Miss Loring, do you know the penalty for
perjury? Why should I? Because when you

add perjury to a few other charges,
you'll only be able to play character

when you get out of jail, young lady.

Mister, I've said it all. You want more,
you see my lawyer.

Who is he? I'll let you know when I hire
one. But you can rest assured he'll be

a good one.

Good ones cost money.

I always go first, Cabot.

Oh, don't let this dump fool you. In a
couple of years, you'll have to pay $8

.50 a seat to see me.

You're wrong, Miss Loring.

The theater group performs free at our
state prison.

All right, let's add up what we've got.

Both the Loring woman and Peck stick to
their stories.

And with the photographs to back them
up, They can make it pretty rough for

You mean Paul could be convicted?

Now, honey, there's always that chance.
I told you that.

I know, but I didn't want to believe it.

I was referring to the unfavorable
publicity you'd get out of the mere

a complaint.

That's what we have to prevent.

I want more than that.

I want labor.

There might be a way, Paul.

But it would involve a certain amount of
risk.

What is it, Robert?

Well, Laver doesn't want this case in
court any more than we do, Dora.

The chances are he'll never let her go
through with the trial.

That won't nail Laver. He'll just walk
away from it free and clear.

Unless you call his bluff.

Tell him we're going to press counter
charges that you intend to take him and

Consolidated Enterprises right into
court.

But we can't prove they were involved.

They don't know that, Paul.

You mean we run a bluff right on top of
theirs?

That's about it, Dora.

The syndicate doesn't want this kind of
publicity.

They'd pressure Laver to get you to call
it off.

And he'd pressure me?

He might try more than pressure.

Now, wait a minute, Robert. You're
asking Paul to... I'm suggesting to her,

asking. You've got a deal.

How about it, honey? All right with you?

He'd give us protection.

Around the clock.

It's your decision.

That's my thing.

He's taking you to court?

That's what it says.

What about consolidated enterprises?

The officers will be named his co
-defendants.

I say he can't make it stick.

You say?

You've said a lot of things.

Like you said you could handle this
whole deal without any trouble.

What do you want me to do?

I don't care what you do.

As long as he doesn't go through with
this. Because if he does...

You're in big trouble.

I swear to you, Mr. Laver, I never told
Ironside a thing. Why didn't you tell me

Ironside found out who took those
pictures?

You told me not to call you for any
reason.

Those were your exact words. I did just
what you told me. Has he talked to you

since? No, no. But if he does, he's
going to get the same answers.

I wouldn't lie to you, Mr. Laver.

All right.

After you get out of town.

Get out of town and stay out. Don't come
back till this thing's over one way or

another.

But I'm supposed to cover a ball game
tonight.

You just play ball with me.

That's all you have to worry about.

How will I know when to come back?

Call my office in a week and not before.
Understand?

I wish I did know where she was so I
could fire her.

She missed three rehearsals and she
wasn't that good.

I tried to phone her, but I haven't been
over to her pad.

I, uh...

Hello?

Mobile operator.

He just left the theater. He's making a
call on the mobile phone.

Stay with him and keep in contact with
him.

Right. Will do.

Things are starting to tighten up.

Around Leila's neck.

Maybe.

Meet me there in half an hour.

Wait here.

I'll give you the word.

You get out of here.

Wait a minute.

I have something to say to you before
you call your friend on your side. You

haven't got anything to talk about. I
wouldn't do business with you. Just tell

your son to back off. If you take me to
court, I'm in trouble. If I'm in

trouble, you're in trouble.

You know something, Mr. Laver?

You've got a very big mouth.

You better listen to what it says, or
you're going to be out of business.

Oh? And how do you propose to do that?

Shoot me?

Undersell me in the market?

I'll show you.

to any place with you. Come on.

All right, hold it.

Hey, hold it over there, huh?

Now, this is for openers.

All right, fellas.

after they take that stuff.

Some night, you might even have a fire.

You can say when.

I'll say when.

The day you go to jail.

Have it your way.

That's the word along the street.

They buy from Copeland at their own
risk.

I've got a better idea.

All right, you guys, knock it off.

All right, raise your hand.

Now, this will photograph very nicely,
thank you.

I'm going to add this to the charges.

Carrying a concealed weapon.

Every little bit helps.

Take them in and book them. Now, let's
go.

You all right, Dora?

Oh, yeah.

Except for about $500 worth of ruined
produce.

On a good card.

We had to be sure we'd have enough
evidence to put labor away for a while.

Long enough for the syndicate to drop
it.

They don't care.

It's gorgeous.

All grade A1, guaranteed.

You sure, Dora? This smells like
kerosene.

Oh, I saved those for that nice little
girl that tried to frame Paul.

Where can I send them?

She won't be around for a while.

Put her in jail, too? No, send her to
Utah. On location for a picture a friend

of mine is making.

You mean you got her a job as a movie
actress?

I wanted to get her out of town, so
labor would think we had her in

custody as a witness for the state.

It was the only thing that would work
with her, so... What a dirty trick to

on your friend.

Not at all. He says she's great in the
part.

You see, there's a fellow that the
heavies want to frame, so they get this

to pretend that her car is broken down.

Excuse me, folks. This is where I came
in. I think I'll go with you. She tells

him she's a private nurse.

And she'll be late for work if she has
to wait to have her car fixed.

Hey, wait for me.

Uh, me too.

Little does the man know when he
gallantly offers to drive her to work

is going to drive him to the brink of
insanity.

And there's where the twist comes in.
