Baby Take a Bow (1934)

AmericasCardroom.com brings poker back Million Dollar Sunday Tournament every Sunday

- Oh, good morning, Flannigan. - Hello, Harry.

One round-trip and one-way as usual? - That's right.

Yeah. He'll be coming back alone.

Here you are.

Hiya, Flannigan. - Hello, Welch.

Save a seat for me, will ya?

I'll be right with you. Hiya, Harry. - Hello, Welch.

Give me one to Ossining. - Going to make sure they take him to the right place?

No. He's not one of my boys. I'm going up to the big house on some private business.

- For the landlord. - You never take them up anyway, do you?

Who me? No. The city cops do that after I catch them.

- Just a minute. - You sure put Sing on its feet all right.

Oh, I help the population some, I guess. Well, I'll be seeing you.

Oh, Welch. You forgot your ticket.

Don't worry. I would've found it out.

Come on.

- Two tickets for Niagara Falls, please. - Oh, congratulation, madam.

- What train? - The 9:20, and I want to stop off Ossining.

Ossining? You mean Sing Sing?

No, I mean Ossining.

Hello, Fred. Hello, John.

- Hi. - Well, you got quite a haul of fish today, huh?

Wonder what that chiseler's going up to Sing Sing for.

Shake down some prisoner, I guess. He'd do anything go a little dough.

- Why, I thought the insurance company fired him. - Sure. They all did.

Well, Trigger Stone.

- How long is hi in for? - Five years.

Five years is right.

- But I'll make lost time when I get out. - Says you.

Thanks for saving the seat, Flannigan.

Well, anyhow, I got my name in the paper.

Too bad you couldn't think of a better way to do it, Scott.

Well, hello, Kay. Here you are. Here a seat for you.

The further I sit from you, Mr. Welch, the better I like it.

- Board! - Take those bags into the next car, please.

Sorry, miss, the train's full up today.

Here you are, Kay. Sit right down here.

Two tickets to Niagara Falls, eh?

How romantic.

That's where honeymooners go, hmm?

Oh, yes. Eddie Ellison gets out today.

Say, you're not really going to marry that guy, are you?

Any objection?

Say, listen, kid. I want to give you a little friendly advice.

Friendly advice!

Well, that's good, coming from the fela who caused Eddie's conviction.

Now take easy, Kay. I'm telling you that I'm your friend.

- More than a friend. - Yes, you've tried to be more than a friend...

- ever since you had Eddie arrested. - Now don't be that way.

You are a nice girl, and you're about to make the mistake of your life.

- That's my business. - Sure it is, and don't let him tell you any different.

Catching crooks is my business, but marring them isn't yours.

That side of Eddie's life is one forever.

- He's going straight. - How many times have I heard that before?

- Once a crook, always a crook. Nobody trusts them. - She'll trust him.

That'd be enough for my dough.

- Thanks, Mr. ... - Scotgt's name.

I'm pleased to meet ya.

Eddie, when you were admitted here, I gave you a choice two roads to take.

You took the right one, and it cut four months off your stretch for you.

- Now will you let me advise you again? - Certainly, sir.

Something kept up your morale while you were up here.

- You're a good guesser. - Well, whatever it was, stick to it outside.

Have you got a job waiting for you?

- The biggest and best job a man ever hat. - Good wages?

- Not a cent. - Well, but how...

- I've had a girl waiting me for 18 months. - Congratulations, my boy.

- The very best of luck. - Thank you, sir.

I'm sorry I can't do much for a wedding present...

but, uh, you take this card to Hopkins Agency.

They place quite a number of my boys. That is, the ones I believe in.

- Well, gee... - and, uh, by the way, here's the $ 10 the law allows.

- Thank you, sir. Good-bye. - Good-bye. Good luck.

Eddie. Eddie.

- Why, you big, good-looking... - Hey, now cut that out, funny face.

I can't help it. I'm so glad to see you.

Well, I guess it's back to the city, huh?

No, we're not going back to the city, Eddie. I've a big surprise.

Say, what is it this, a practical joke?

It's no joke, but boy it's practical.

- We're going to Niagara Falls. - You mean right now?

- From here? - The train leaves in half an hour.

Aw, gee, you're swell, and I'm the luckiest man in the world.

Luck had nothing to do with it. You couldn't get away from me if you tried.

That's right. I tried to hide in prison and it was hopeless.

Well, glad to see you around, Eddie.

Oh, thank, Flannigan. Meet the future wife.

Oh, yeah. We made the trip op together.

And boy, you sure got a girl who knows her own mind.

Well, if it isn't my old pal, Welch.

As big as life and twice as natural.

- He's no pal of yours. He's still got it in for ya. - What do you mean?

He's been throwing the hooks into you all the way up. Trying to promote himself.

Yeah, I was just trying to give her a little friendly advice, that's all.

- I happen to know a lot more about crooks than she does. - Why, you...

- Eddie! - If you sack him, you'll get into trouble.

You're on the way out. Keep going. I'm on the way in. So I got nothing to lose.

Thanks, fella. I'll be seeing you when you get out.

Good luck. I wish I could be your best man.

Oh! How does a guy like me rate all this?

Darling. You rate the best in the world.

Yeah. I got it. Right here in my arms.

Now look what you've done.

Say, I haven't begun to do things yet. So far, you've made all the plans.

Got us a little flat, and you've lined me up a nice job.

But don't forget, beginning next Monday you quit and I get going.

Oh, I wish this could last for a year. It's been so wonderful.

It's going to be wonderful all our life.

Won't it be nice when we save some money...

- we get our little home up in Yonkers? - Oh, Eddie.

- Say, you didn't know I was an artist, did you? - No.

Look... just get a load of our little dream house.

It's going to be painted white all over with green sheers and a red roof.

We're going to have o bright yellow picket fence with black tops.

- That sounds beautiful. - The whole place is going to be splotched with honeysuckle.

We would raise our own honey if we bought a pair of bees. - You're silly.

Now, right here is the chicken coop where we grow our own breakfast.

Where's the doghouse to put in when you're bad?

Oh. Right here. "X" marks the spot.

Who's that? You?

- No, that is a "g-nom-e." - Hmm?

Uh, elf.

Well, it's made out of tera... tera...

- Aw, plaster. - It's marvelous, darling. Let me show you what I picked out.

See, it has a real fireplace and a master bedroom with twin beds.

- What's that? - That's a nursery.

That's where you can put your little "g-nom-e."

- You mean our little "g-nom-e." - Maybe our little elf too.

Six Years Later

I'll be in a minute, dear. That'll be all for today, Eddie.

- Yes, sir. - By the way, I'm going to give you that job I promised you.

As soon as your friend can handle the car, you start at the factory.

Gee, Mr. Carson, I don't know how to thank you.

But anyway, I want to thank you for Larry too.

- We'll make good for you, sir. Both of us. - I'm sure you will.

- What is your friend's name? - Larry Scott.

Oh, yes. Thank you.

- Hiya, fela. - Well, what's the verdict?

Guilty. You start work tomorrow. - Great.

Aw, gee thanks, Eddie. What a break after unloading freight and washing dishes.

Did you say anything about me? I mean, about Sing Sing?

I didn't tell him about myself, so why should tell him about you?

Do you thing it make any difference if he knew?

- I don't think so, but why take a chance? - Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, I got to run. I'm calling for Jane at the dancing school.

Now that you.ve got a job, I suppose she'll lead you right up to altar.

- Not if I can lead her first. - Okay, kid, do your stuff.

- If you see Kay, tell her I'm bringing home liver and onions. - Okay. So long.

SCHOOL of DANCING CHILDREN'S CLASSES

Hello, Mommy.

- Hello, precious. - Mommy.

- Oh, don't let me interrupt, Jane. - That's all right, Kay.

The class is over. You may go now, children.

- May I show Mommy the new step you taught me? - Not now, darling.

- Better wait till we get home, hmm? - It'll only take a minute.

Look!

- That was marvelous, darling. - Wait till I get home and show it to Daddy.

He'll never be able to do it as well as you.

- Hello, girls. - Hello, Larry.

- Hi, Kay. - Hi.

Meet Mr. Carson's new chauffeur.

- That's wonderful. - Oh, Larry, I'm so glad.

That calls for a specials celebration.

- How about you two having supper with us? - That'd be fine, huh?

- I know, liver and onions. Sold. - That's great. I'll get my things.

And Shirley. Now look at what I've got for you.

Ooh. Thank you, Uncle Larry.

Now what are you going to give me? - A kiss.

Come on, sweet. Get your hat and coat on.

Does she know about her birthday party tomorrow night?

Try and keep anything from that little monkey with Eddie around.

DETECTIVE HEADQUARTERS

Trigger Stone was released from Sing Sing yesterday.

The warden reports he was had to handle up there.

Bragget about what he'd do when he out. Better keep an eye on him, boys.

- Hiyam, Sarge. - Anything we can do gor you, Welch?

No, but there's something I can do for the department.

- Wait. The captain's busy. - He won't be too busy to see me when he knows what I got.

Hiya, Cap.

- Hello. - Well, I'm going to give you a break.

- Yeah? - You ever hear of the Stuart Carsons?

- Yes. They live on Park Avenue. - You remember Eddie Allison?

- He's their chauffeur. - You Know a Larry Scott?

He's out on parole.

Well, here's something about them that you don't know.

You mean about Ellison getting Scott a job with the Carsons?

There you are. Plain as the nose on your face. They got something op their sleeves.

- Listen, Welch, those boys are as clean as a whistle. - Sure they are.

Eddie Ellison's been out six years. He's strictly on the level.

Got a swell wife and a cute little kid.

Let me tell you something. You've hounded those boys enough.

You've had them fired from jobs, stopped them from getting new ones.

- You leave them alone. - All right. I was only trying to give you the right steer.

- Thanks, Welch. We appreciate it. - No trouble at all.

Anytime I can do anything for you, don't hesitate to call.

Still trying to promote himself a job.

Just the same. We better keep an aye on Scott and Ellison. Never can tell.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

- Ready or not, I'm coming. - Don't you peek, Daddy.

Well, she certainly can hide better than anybody else in the world.

Well, I wonder where she can be.

Ah, now I've got you.

- I don't know where she is. - Here I am.

Oh, so you think you can wrestle, huh?

Where are you? Where are you? Now I've got you.

You Know, I think I'm going to spank you. Now I'm going to eat you all up.

Oh, what a meal, lamb's leg and pig's feet and duck's neck.

You're my little lamb, little apple dumpling, my sugar-pie and I love you.

You big baby. Keeping her awake.

There, didn't I tell you now? Mommy's always right.

- There, you see? You get kissed, and I get scolded. - Oh.

Kiss Daddy good night.

- Good night, my little "g-nom-e." - I'm not "g-nom-e." am I, Mommy?

No, darling. You're Mommy's little elfie.

Then if I'm an elfie, what are you?

- Well, I'm... I'm a...

- Good night, darling. - Good night, Mommy.

Daddy.

Come here.

Tell me what you bought me for a birthday present.

- Oh, no. That's a secret. - Will you tell me if I guess?

- Mmm, well, maybe. - A pair of roller skates?

- No. - A dollhouse. - No

Aw, Daddy. If you tell me, I tell you what I'm going to get you for your birthday.

- Oh, no. I want to be surprised. _ Will you tell me for a kiss?

- Well, that's awful tempting, but... I bet I now. A ballet dress.

- A ballet dress. Now, what made you think of that? - Because that's what I want most.

Come on now, you little "g-nom-e." You've got to go to sleep.

# I'm going to get a Ballet dress. # I'm going to get a ballet dress.

- # Don't tell Mommy I told you. # - I won't.

Now, come on. You snap those eyes shut.

- I will if you sing to me. - All Right.

- # Rock-a-bye baby

# On the treetop # When the wind blows the cradle will rock

# When the bough bends the candle will fail

# Down will come baby cradle and all

- Yippee! - Oh, now, come on, darling. You go to sleep.

You're going to get me in trouble with your mother. Good night now.

- Have you been in there all this time? - Uh-huh.

Did you tell her about her present? Who, me?

- Gee, won't she look cute in that. - It's just darling.

- It cost an awful lot. - Ell, It's for Shirley, isn't it?

She only has a birthday once a year.

- Every day is her birthday with you. - And why shouldn't it be?

- We better hide it from her. - Say, here's another little gadget I bought for Shirley.

- What is it? - Take look.

- I don't see a thing. - No, but we do.

Oh, Eddie, you and tricks.

You're not going to give it to the baby. You're making her as bad you are.

- Say, how about going to the movies with us tonight? - Oh, thanks.

- But we can't leave Shirley. - They're showing 10.000 years in Sing Sing at the Cameo.

- Gee, what a long stretch. - They say it's awful funny.

Not for my dough.

- Well, come on, Jane. We'll be late. - Larry, what's your hurry?

If you miss three or four years, it don't make any difference.

- Have a good time. - Thanks. Well, I'm sorry you won't come with us.

- So long. - Good-bye.

- Hey, Larry? - Yeah?

We got to be on the job early. Stop by and we'll dunk a couple of doughnuts.

- Right. - And say, let me know what the guy to get 10.000 years.

- So long. - So long.

Good morning everybody.

The first exercise this morning is a simple one.

Cross the left foot in front of the right.

Now bend the trunk, grasp the ankles with both hands.

Ready? Now, in this position, march eight steps forward and eight steps backward.

Ready? One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Back, three, two, one. Four, three, two, one.

That's fine.

Now here's the next exercise. Plant your feet on the floor 18 inches apart.

Bend the trunk forward. Hands straight down.

Swing your arms upward and leap about-face...

landing in the same position that you started.

Are you ready? All right. go.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

That's splendid..

The next one is even more simple than the last one.

Stand opposite a table, right foot on the floor...

and the left on the table.

Now bend down, touch the knee with the face.

Repeat four times. Are you ready?

All right. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Now, I know you feel better.

And now for the reducing exercise.

Now sit on the floor. You're going to enjoy this.

Raise the body supporting yourselves on arms and legs, knees bent.

Now leap forward, grasshopper fashion.

Six counts and reverse. Ready? Go.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Back, five, four, three, two, one. That's it.

Now sit erect. Let's start the day with a good, hearty laugh.

My goodness. I'll bet Daddy isn't up yet.

You go outside and play, darling.

Come on, sleeping sickness. Get up.

- What time is it? - What time do you want?

It's time you were up out of that bet.

I wasn't sleeping. I was thinking.

- Hurry up. Your breakfast will be spoiled. _ Oh! What are you doing?

Top of the morning to you.

And the head of the evening to you.

- Hey, what are you so pleased about? - Nothing in particular.

Oh, don't try to kid me. It's written all over your face. Go look at the mirror.

Congratulation, Lary. She's a great girl.

You bet she is. And say, we'll never be able to thank Eddie enough...

- for getting that job for me. - He was only too glad to do it.

Come on now. Sit down and have your coffee.

- Aren't you waiting for Eddie? - I should waiting and eat a cold breakfast?

Not for any husband. Sometimes I get so irritated, I could give him poison.

Yeah, and I get so mad, I could take it. What do you know about that?

To hear you two in the morning you'd think you were ready to jump at each other's throats.

In the morning? What about the rest of the day?

Well, I just hope Jane and me get along as well as two.

Yes, Larry and Jane got engaged last night.

Well, I don't why a fine girl like Jane wants to marry a mag like you.

- Well, thanks. - The bride isn't here, so I may as well kiss this dummy.

Eddie, got a cigarette?

Sure. Here. Help yourself.

And I bit for that.

Eddie, will you ever grow up?

Those are just for moshes. Here, have one these.

Say, didn't you tell me last night about some work you had to do on the car this morning?

- Come on. We'll be late. - A fella never gets a chance to get any breakfast around here.

Well, you oughtn't to have so much sleep in the morning.

- Come on - Good bye.

Good bye.

- Hello, Shirley. - Hello, Mr. O'Hara.

- So, you're Eddie Ellison's kid? - I'm not a kid. I'm a girl.

- And today is my birthday. - Well.

If I'd have knowed it, I'd have bought you a present.

My birthday isn't over yet. Oh, isn't?

It won't be over until after the party.

Do you want to come? We're having ice cream.

Well, I don't like ice cream, but maybe I'll come anyway.

And maybe you can bring the present with you.

- There's my daddy. - Trigger Stone.

Shirley, come here. Come on Run up. Your mother wants you.

- Why? - Never mind. Go ahead. Skip.

Don't forget my present, mister.

- Bye, Daddy. - Bye.

Surprised to see me, huh? Listen, you guys, you got to help me. That's why I'm here.

- We can't talk here. - No. Come on.

I pulled a job last night... - Not so loud.

I want you guys to help me get rid of the stuff.

It'll be a cinch a cinch for you.

All you got to do is peddle the stuff, and we'll split 50/50.

- You got us wrong, Trigger. - Yeah? - Yeah.

- That goes for both of us. - I am not asking you to do nothing crooked.

- Any fence will grab what I got. - Sure and any cop, too, and us with it.

Nothing doing. Besides, it isn't doing us any good being seen with you.

Now lay off us, and don't hang around here either.

Come on, Larry. We're late.

Daddy, don't be late for my party.

I won't.

Things are getting pretty hot around Park Avenue.

- There was a job pulled at 1170 last night. - That's in my district.

I want you to handle the job. The Stuart Carson pearls were stolen shortly shortly after midnight.

Just the kind of a job that Trigger Stone would pull. I want you to round him up.

NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY

I'm sorry, Welch, but we prefer not to employ men who use your tactics.

Yeah? I get results, don't I?

Say, listen, last night the Stuart Carson peals were stolen, weren't they?

You've got a $50.000 insurance policy them.

All right. Give me Daniels, give me a little authority, I'll recover those in three days.

- Have you got a lead? - Have I? Wait till you hear it.

Huh. Say, that reward of $5,000 is practically in my pocket right now.

Are you sure Ellison brought the Carson's car in late yesterday and met his pal here?

- That's right. - They didn't come back last night? - No.

You sure of that? That's all I wanted to now.

- Gee, you look like a general. - Never mind the looks.

Do you think I'll be able to drive the car to suit Mr. Carson?

You drive better than I do now. Guess you can take the wheel tomorrow.

- Hi, Eddie. - well, if it isn't the old snooper himself.

All dressed up in his two rubber heels. That makes three of you... heels.

- Funny fella, huh? - Say, are you here on business or pleasure?

Pleasure. I can't tell you how glad I am to see you boys again.

That's too bad we haven't the day off. Then we could take you a ride.

That'd be a pleasure. Well, so long.

We've got a very busy day ahead of us.

Oh. If Welch's brains were in his feet, he might be able to think.

I wish I'd poked him in the nose, just for old time's sake.

- Listen, you did that once. Next time it's my turn.

- Wouldn't he love to put the hooks in us again. - You said it.

- I wonder if he's got a job. -Maybe somebody hired him just for laughs.

- How does that half-wit get away with his racket? - I don't know...

but I hope that's the last we ever see of that ugly pan of his.

Yeah. Ugly is right.

Well, boys, thanks for the ride.

- I wonder what he wants with the boss? - I don't Know.

- Maybe we made him sore. - Gee, I got it.

Maybe he's going to tell Carson we were in Sing Sing.

- I'm Special Investigator Welch. The Carsons expecting me. - Very well, sir.

Hiya, Daniels.

- Anything new? - Hannigan's in there. He's covered all the servants.

- Huh. Barking up the wrong tree as usual, eh? - How about the chauffeurs?

They just dropped me off here. Have the butler bring them on.

- You know what to do? - Right.

Right.

How are you, Mr. and Mrs. Carson?

I'm the special investigator from the insurance company.

And Mrs. Carson, don't you worry. You'll soon be wearing your pearls again.

- Have you found them? - No. But I'm pretty sure your chauffeurs are mixed up in it.

I can't believe it. They're such nice-looking boys.

Yeah, well you can't go much on looks. They both got prison records.

Why didn't you tell us that, Mr. Flannigan?

Because if they're innocent, why prejudice you against them?

- Here they are now. - Well, I don't want to be here when you're questioning them.

Come in, boys.

Morning Mr. Carson.

I don't suppose you boys know...

there was a pearl necklace stolen from this house last night?

Well, what do you now about that?

- What do you know about it? - This is the first I've heard about it.

You're not trying to pin it on us are you, Welch?

- No. I'm just going to ask you a few questions, that's all. - sure. Go ahead.

Where did you go after you left the garage last night?

I went right home, and after dinner, my wife and I went to bed.

- Anybody with you? - No.

- Where did you go? - I went to the movies with my girl.

- What was the name of the picture? - 10,000 Years in Sing Sing.

You ought see it. The crook was a real guy. - Yeah, a regular fella.

I'll check your alibis later.

Want to ask them anything else, Mr. Flannigan?

No. I think you've more than covered the ground, Mr. Welch.

- Good day, Mr. Carson. We'll keep in touch with you. - Thank you, Mr. Flannigan.

Don't worry, Mr. Carson. We won't overlook anything.

I'm sure you won't, Mr. Welch. Why didn't you boys tell me that you'd been in prison?

Well, I'll tell you why, Mr. Carson.

Because every time we told an employer about our jail record, we didn't get the job.

So after a few tough breaks, we decided not to say anything about it.

But we've been going straight, and that's on the level.

I'm sorry you didn't trust my judgment.

But under the circumstances, I can't very well keep you.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way about it, Mr. Carson but...

I... I guess we understand.

- Good-bye, sir. - Mr. Simpson will send you your checks.

Yes, sir.

Most unfortunate this had happen.

Mr. Carson, from now on, every move these boys make will be watched by one of my men.

Just leave to me. So long.

- So long, Jenkins. - Good-bye, Eddie.

Come on. Quit worrying, will you? This isn't the only job in town.

I wasn't thinking of the job. I was thinking of Welch.

That bird has got something up his sleeve.

Aw, sometimes I wonder if going straight really pays.

- Hey, cut out that'll Jane think? - But what'll Jane think?

She's a hundred percent for you.

She wouldn't think anything against you any more than Kay would doubt me.

We're not going to tell them anything tonight though.

- Why not? - I'm not going to let anything spoil Shirley's birthday party.

# Happy birthday to you # Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Shirley # Happy birthday to you

Come on, Eddie. Speech. Come on. Make a speech.

Speech?

Uh, ladies and gentlemen...

heirs and heiress...

this is indeed an unexpected honor.

And when an unexpected honor is thrust upon one...

it is, uh... it is... an unexpected honor.

- Er, uh... - You better read it, Daddy.

Yeah.

I better read it.

- And now a speech from Shirley. - Oh, yes. From Shirley.

Up you go.

I want to thank everybody for the presents you gave me. Very, very much.

And I hope someday when it's your birthday that I can give them all back to you.

And now that you folks have heard two of the world's most famous after-dinner speakers...

we're going to proceed with the entertainment.

Larry, strike up the band. You all follow me.

- Party's still going on, eh? - Yeah, they seem to be having a good time.

Well, let them celebrate tonight. It'll be my party tomorrow night. You just...

- Leave it to you. I know. - Yeah.

- Good evening, Mr. Flannigan. - Good evening, Mr. Welch.

- Nice fella, Flannigan. - You said it.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention this way.

At great expense, we have succeeded in importing, for the first time on any roof...

and go your entertainment...

that famous star, Mademoiselle Shirley Ellison.

Why no, dear. What make you think that?

Well, I can tell when you're worried.

But they did. Welch saw to that.

Will you excuse us for a minute? I want to talk to Eddie alone.

Now listen Eddie. When we were married, we said we'd go 50/50 on everything, didn't we?

Well, that meant joy and trouble too.

You always let me in on the joy, now why not the trouble?

- There's nothing more to tell. - Eddie, look at me.

- Did Larry have anything to do with this? - No.

Well, then we haven't a thing to worry about.

Oh, no. Not a thing... except Welch.

Oh, Eddie, be yourself.

It's not me I'm thing about. It's you and Shirley.

Well, everything's all right. we've got each other, haven't we?

Yeah, but I guess theses there goes that little house up in Yonkers.

Another year, and we could've saved enough to get it.

Well, you'll get another job, and maybe a better one.

It's not easy for a fella with a record.

Now come on, honey. Don't let it get you down.

Remember, It's my fight too.

Feel better now, don't you? Oh, that's the stuff.

How could I feel bad with you around?

Why, you're a sweetheart, a wife and mother all rolled into one.

A fella couldn't miss out with a pal like you.

Hey, what's the matter? Why, you're crying.

No, I'm not. I... There.

That's right. Now it isn't gonna rain no more.

I wonder why Welch is giving us the absent treatment.

The suspense is driving me nuts. I wish he'd get it over with.

Oh, now forget about Welch, will you?

Besides, I never drink on the job.

Don't do that! I mean, you'll... you'll stir up the grounds.

Shirley and I are always playing games.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

It's one of the finest little rooms you ever saw in your life.

I'd just love to show it to you. Now look.

Yeah? What's that button for? A secret panel?

- No. That's the bed. - Don't kid me.

I'll have you up for manslaughter.

- He's getting warm. He's hot. - He's cold.

- He's hot. - He's cold.

It'll be hot for you birds when I hang this onto you.

- Where does that door lead to? - To the bathroom. Want to take a bath?

Daddy, you didn't fool me. I got the prize.

Get her out of here.

Yeah-Yeah. You're right. Here's the prize. Go and buy yourself some ice cream.

- Goody-goody-goody. - Yeah. Goody-goody.

Yeah.

Where we going to hide them now?

Just the think.

That's the first time I knew what a carpet-sweeper was for.

- Open it. - Open.

Where?

- Here, here. - All right. I got it. Hurry up.

Okay. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Give it to me.

Here, hold these. I'll get open.

I got it. Drop them in there, quick.

Now if we can only hide this carpet-sweeper, I know we'd be safe.

Yeah, if we could hide the apartment, Welch might quit his job.

Oh, yeah? They're not in there. You can't fool me.

- No. You can't fool him. - No. You can't fool him.

Morning, Mr. Ellison. Can I borrow your carpet-sweeper?

Can you.. I'll say you can, Anna.

- Thanks. I'll bring it right back. - That's right.

You keep it just as long as you want.

Well, this is round one, but don't either one of you birds think I'm though with you yet.

Come up sometime, we'll play "Button, button, who's got the button."

- Whew! - Whoo.

Boy, that was a close...

Good morning, Annie. Anything new?

Same old thing, Mr. O'Hara. Nothing ever happens around place.

Give me a ride, will you, Annie?

Sure. Get on.

Come on, mister. You want to ride with me?

I might break it. Besides, I don't want to play anymore.

You're not much good at playing games, are you?

All right, Shirley, get off.

Come on, Kitty.

- So you work here, huh? - Mm-hmm.

I'll bet you're a winner when you're all dressed up.

Oh, go on with you.

Say, what would you do if you happened to come across a real pearl necklace?

You'd be surprised.

Wait a minute, Mrs. Ellison I want to talk to you.

I'm not interested, Mr. Welch. - Maybe you will be when you know you can help Eddie.

That's it. I thought you'd be sensible.

Never mind that. What about Eddie?

Well, that's more like it. I didn't think you'd like to see Eddie marking a long trip.

What do you mean?

Now listen. Carson won't prosecute if he gets those pearls back.

Now I figure that Eddie's protecting Larry.

I want you to go to Larry and get those pearls.

Tell him that you'll return them with no questions asked.

And after you get them, all you got to do is to give them to me.

Yeah, and you'll collect the reward and send both back to prison.

No, thanks. Now get this, Mr. Welch.

Eddie and Larry are both running straight.

I know it, you hear? I know it.

And yet what does it get them? You hound them every step they take.

You put them out of one job and keep them from getting another.

Those boys haven't done anything wrong, and you've got to let them alone!

Now you get out of here! Get out!

- Are you still here? - Uh-huh.

- Want some of my ice cream? - No, thanks.

Oh, go ahead. I ate the other one...

and if I finish this, I'll get a tummy ache.

No, thanks. I've already got a tummy ache.

Oh, how awful!

- How did Shirley ever get hold of them? - That's what I'd like to know.

- Where are they now? - In the carpet sweeper.

- What? Well, let's get the carpet sweeper. - Annie's got it.

- Hey, Eddie! I got it back!

- Hire it is. - Give me it.

We've got to get them back to Mr. Carson. I know he'll believe our story.

Oh, we'll get them back. Just a minute now.

- Open it this way you did before. - "Open it the way I did..."

- What do you want to do? Kill me? - Leave me alone!

- It's on the other side! - Wait a minute.

- This thing is her Welch's head. - Let me try try it.

Need any help?

I'll take that.

Wait a minute. Oh, boy, you weren't going to me much, were you?

That sweep's mine. I've got to clean up the mess you've made around here.

- Give me that. Give me that sweeper! - Hey, hey! Look out!

What the combination of this crib?

It's empty.

No fooling!

Well, you were looking for dirt, and you found it.

Yes? 48th Precinct, McLane speaking.

What? Trigger Stone?

Yes, we had him cornered, but before we could close in, he winged Dugan and got away.

All right. The boys will be right over.

We've just got to find those pearls.

And how. Welch is sure to come back here tonight.

I'm ready to give up. We've searched everywhere in the house but here.

Well, then let's go though everything in this cellar.

- Oh, Mrs. Perkins? - Oh, good evening, Mrs. Ellison.

Good evening. Has Annie come back yet?

No, Mrs. Ellison. It's her night off.

Oh. Thanks.

All right, you. Lift them, you.

Keep them up. One phony move, and I'll let you have it.

- What do you want? - Plenty.

Every cop in New York's looking for me. I'm trapped like a rat.

- Yeah, the rat part's right. - Shut up!

Kick in with them pearls. Another killing more or less don't mean nothing to me.

- They're not here. - I gave theme to your kid.

- Well, she hasn't got them, and that's on the level. - Don't kid me.

I think we've got him cornered. He's somewhere in this block.

Watch you step, fellows. Remember he's a killer.

Gaines, you and Bagnall take Seventh Avenue.

Conselma, you go aroud the other way.

Bucer, you take the alley. I'll watch the street.

Kitty, kitty, kitty!

Oh, my beads!

Daddy, I found them!

Daddy, I found them!

Daddy, I found them!

Daddy!

Hey, mister, your beads were lost, but I found them.

That's fine. You're a smart girl. Now go no, cut me loose.

Are you playing the game too?

Of course I am. You old man tied me up. Let's you and me fool him.

Do you think that would fair?

Why, sure it would. It'll be a big joke, and we'll all bust laughing.

Now, go on. Get something and cut me loose.

Hey, not that! Get a knife.

That's it. That's the ticket.

Now there.

That's it. Now come on.

Take it easy.

I am.

Hey, listen. Wait a minute. You'll cut my head off.

- That's all right. - Well, now look out.

- Where are you headed for? - I got Trigger Stone tied up in the apartment. Come on!

Won't your dad be surprised when he find out I'm gone?

You said he's laughing.

He sure will. I let my hat in the other room.

- Hey, mister, you gave me those beads! - Get away, you little brat!

- You gave me those beads for my birthday! - Your birthday's over.

He gave the pearls to Shirley. That's why he came back. Hurry!

- You bad man! Give me back those beads - shut up!

Give me back those beads you bad man!

Give me those beads, will ya! Give me them!

Hey, mister!

Eddie, what's happened? Eddie, what's happened?

- Mommy! Daddy! - Trigger Stone! He's got Shirley!

You give me those beads!

- Mommy! Daddy! He's hurting me! - Shut up!

Help! Daddy! Mommy!

Help! Daddy! Mommy!

- Don't be a fool! You haven't got a gun! - Daddy, he's hurting me!

Take care of your wife.

Don't shoot! He's using Shirley as a shield!

- Eddie, what are we going to do? - Help! Mommy?

Daddy!

Mommy! Daddy!

- Eddie, what are we going to do? - The roof! Come on!

- What's the matter, Eddie? - Trigger's got Shirley on the roof! Come on.

Help! Help!

Help! Daddy!

Mommy!

- Eh, you stay here. - Shirley!

Larry!

Bring the girl. Don't let Tigger get out this way.

- Help! Mommy! - Shirley! Let me go!

- I want my baby! Shirley! - Daddy! Ow!

Eddie! Eddie! Oh, he shot him!

- Let me go! I want my baby! - You can't do anything out there, Kay.

I want my baby! Let me go!

Help! Mommy! Daddy!

My baby! Let me go!

I want my baby! He's going to hurt her!

Hey, who are you?

- I'm Inspector Welch from the National Insurance Company. - Oh, okay.

Help! Help! Help!

Shirley! Shirley!

Mommy!

Wait a minute, Daddy.

- My baby! - You bad man!

Here's the beads, Daddy!

Shirley! Shirley, my baby!

- Mommy, Mommy! - Oh, Mommy's darling. Mommy's baby.

Eddie, Eddie, are you badly hurt?

- No, it's only a scratch. - Look, Daddy and Mommy. I got the beads.

Take charge of him, boys.

Well, well, well, well. Just as I thought.

They were here all the time.

You didn't fool me for a minute. None of you.

All right, Flannigan. I'll handle this from now on.

Oh, no, you won't!

From now on, you boys have got nothing to worry about.

You'll get your jobs back, and Welch will never bother you again.

And as for you, miss, you get the $5,000 reward.

Do I get the beads too?

Wait a minute. I'm not going to stand for this.

- Oh, you won't? Well, now you listen to me, you big phony! - Wait a minute.

I got a notion to run you in for interfering with an officer!

Now wait a minute! Wait a minute...
