Bye.

Always the same thing. You'll find one
on every boat, no matter where you go.

I've been twice around the world, and
it... Well, gentlemen, last night out.

How about having a little drink with me?

Dutch treat, of course. Of course. Of
course. What'll it be?

Bourbon and soda. Make mine the same.

You know mine. Yeah, ginger ale and
grape juice.

Come, Wilson, that's no drink.

Oh, uh, no, that's all I ever take.

You know, it's a downright shame that
you gentlemen have never been to

Habersville. You know what you missed?

Fine cultural background, YMCA,
beautiful library, and our

Rotary Club. Well, gentlemen, you could
drop in there any Thursday afternoon and

you'd meet the finest bunch of fellas
you've ever met in your life. I can

imagine.

See, that's 15 for mine, isn't it? Yes,
there's no special tonight.

There's 20.

Extra nickel is for you. Oh, thank you.

You know,

gentlemen, there's another thing about
Habersville.

You'll find there that we have... A
little straight one.

All right, wait.

Make it two.

Make it three.

Make it four.

Oh, thank you. No, I don't indulge.

So you're too good to drink with me,
huh?

Well, good night, gentlemen.

Hey, what's the matter?

I asked you to have a drink.

And I refused.

Well, you can't do that. You can't
insult me. Nonsense, Ryan. Mr. Wilson

drink. I know.

Grape juice, Wilson. Tonight he drinks.

You've snooted me long enough on this
boat.

This is supposed to be a pleasure
cruise.

You've been nothing but a killjoy.

Why don't you take off that stuffed
shirt?

Go on. Knock me down.

You're inebriated.

What? Inebriated.

Ah, hey there, Daddy.

Now, you think I'm inebriated, huh?

I'll show you if I'm inebriated.

I can walk a straight line with anybody
on this boat.

With anybody on any boat.

I can walk a straight line with anybody
in the world.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to walk that rail.

I wouldn't do that if I were you, sir.

You're too intoxicated to realize your
peril, sir.

I realize, I realize.

I'm going to show you something.

There's something you can't do, Mr.
Grape Juice.

Look, blindfolded.

That's the stuff, pal.

How you feeling?

Dizzy?

A little weak, huh?

You dirty rat.

You slugged me.

Take it easy, pal. Take it easy. You
slugged me.

No, I didn't, pal. Honest, I didn't.
Honest, I didn't. It was a sailor with

oar. Sailor with a... Hey.

Wait a minute.

Why, this is a boat.

What's the idea?

Why, you saved my life last night.

I...

What do I want to do that for?

I don't know.

It was certainly something for a guy
like you to save a mug like me.

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Last night on the train, somebody
snatched ten grand from me and... I made

grab for him.

It was a fight.

He must have slugged me.

But that wasn't a sailor with an oar.

Yes, it was.

Say, help me, Mr. Wilson.

What did you call me?

Wilson. Mr. Wilson, your name?

Wilson.

I'll go get the doctor. Sit down.

Who's that?

I can get the doctor in just a minute.
No, sit down.

Well, that's real.

Look, pal, I won't be a minute.

The doctor is right down the corridor.
Listen to me.

Last night I was on my way to the fight
with ten grand to bet. What fight?

Don't you read the papers? The Schmeling
-Stribling fight.

I must have missed it. I'll say you did.

By about nine years.

By about... What date's this?

Here's the ship news.

April of 10th, 1940. That's a misprint.

Honest, pal, that's right.

But this is 1931.

I've got to get the doctor.

Wait a minute.

I don't need a doctor.

I need a drink.

It's right here for you.

Ginger ale and grape juice.

No, no, no. I said a drink.

Well, this is what you've been drinking.

Buckets of it.

Ginger ale and grape juice? There's no
prohibition on these boats, is there?

there ain't no more prohibition.

Roosevelt called it off.

Roosevelt?

Teddy's been dead for nearly... Oh, no,
not Teddy Roosevelt.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
president.

He's the governor of New York. He's the
president of the United States. He's

been elected twice.

He's a... How's he doing?

Look, Mr. Wilson, I don't know what's
the matter with you, but whatever it is,

it can count on me.

I don't suppose you'll understand this,
but after what happened last night, I'm

going straight.

So help me, Mr. Wilson.

Why do you keep calling me Wilson?

My name is Kerry, George Kerry.

You're not the George Kerry that was
partners with Duke Sheldon in all them

games.

What if I was? Oh, wait a minute.

Don't be that way with me.

After all, we're in the same business.

What's your racket?

Oh, I just kind of work the boats. You
know, little cards, dice.

The last thing I remember is getting
aboard the train to go to the fight.

But that was in 1931.

Haven't you got a line on yourself since
then?

Nine years ago.

You know, just like yesterday to me.

Where have I been?

Where was I?

Say, wait a minute.

There's a name for it.

Name for what?

Lapse of memory.

Lost identity.

Amnesia.

That's what it is, amnesia.

Is that what you've got?

Why, no, but that's what I've had.

Why, a blow on the head can make you
forget your entire past. You can live on

for years, maybe the rest of your life
as somebody else.

Unless, unless a shock or another blow
brings you back to your right self.

You read about these things, but you
never think of them happening to

Say, what kind of a guy was this Wilson?

He was an awful heel.

Yeah? I like Carrie better.

Oh, thanks.

All he did was talk about himself.

And Habersville.

Habersville? Who's he?

That's not he. That's Annette.

Don't you even remember that?

That's where you live.

A little town in Pennsylvania.

I never heard of the Berg.

Say, I wonder if this Wilson had any
dough.

He must have.

You were the tightest guy I've ever
seen.

I mean, Wilson was.

Let's make a little investigation of his
luggage.

Hey, this is kind of funny. We're
talking about you and a mug named

you're both fellas.

What was I, an in -man?

Saltine wafers, dyspepsia tablets.

Hair restorer.

Hair restorer?

Gargle. I certainly must have taken good
care of this guy, Wilson.

I'll bet you an even hundred you wore
long underwear.

You think you're kidding?

Here's your wallet. Still wet. Uh -oh.

Boy, was I a joiner. Rotary Club, Elks,
Owls, Community Chess, Primrose League.

Wait a minute, what's this?

Pampersville National Bank, Lawrence
Wilson, checking account C.

$147 ,083.

$147 ,083.

Let me take a look at that.

Holy... That's just a C account.

That means there must be an A and a B.

That might go right through the whole
alphabet.

Say, why wouldn't it be a good idea for
Mr. Wilson to pay a little visit to

Haversville? Just long enough to collect
this coin.

I need some help.

How'd you like to go on this with me?

You really mean that?

I'll cut you in for 25%. I'd have done
it for 10.

After all, you saved my life.

Oh.

You know, I'm going to need some dough.

I think I'll send a radiogram to the
Habersville National Bank and ask them

send me five grand to the Hotel Whitley
tomorrow morning, huh?

25 % of five grand. But you decided to
go straight.

That was only a whim.

Get right to the hotel and see if the
bank has sent the... the... Yoo -hoo!

What's the matter?

Boy, 18 days alone on a boat is
certainly a long time to be alone on a

18 days. What are you talking about?

Take a look.

Some dish.

What are you waiting to? Keep your mind
on your work.

Are you all right?

Oh, yes, I'm fine. How are you?

Well, the paper said you were injured.

Oh, no, no, no, nothing serious.

You know how papers are.

Well, it certainly is good to see you.

I know you're surprised.

Surprise isn't a word for it.

Yes, sir, it certainly is good to see
you.

Come on, let's go. Come on. Oh, this is
Doc Ryan.

Oh, yes, yes, good old Doc.

How are you, Dr. Ryan?

Oh, I'm much better now, thanks to him.

Habersville is pretty proud of that
rescue.

Habersville. Oh, yeah, good old
Habersville.

Did you just leave?

When I read that you were hurt, I didn't
know how seriously. Naturally, I had to

come.

Naturally, yes.

Well, it certainly is good to see you.
So you said.

It's worth repeating.

Well, you seem strange.

Oh, well, that's just because you
haven't seen me for a while.

Before you know it, we'll be right back
where we were.

That's another thing I came to see you
about.

Oh.

I'll go look out for our luggage.

I'll leave you in care of the doctor.

Dr.

Ryan, is he really all right?

Well, you see, lady, he's had a pretty
thorough shock.

Now, you just give me your name and
telephone number, and the minute he

better, I'll have him call you.

Call me. Yeah, he'll ring you in a
couple of days.

Oh, thank you, Doctor.

But do you know who I am? Well, whoever
you are, he needs rest and quiet.

Now, if you're a friend of Larry's...
I'm his wife.

His wife.

Oh, yes.

How stupid of me.

Well, all set.

Boys got the bags. I was just saying,
what a lucky girl this is to have you

a husband.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

What is it? What's the matter?

Oh, not nothing, nothing. I'm fine.

No, you're not.

You're sicker than you think.

You need a lot of rest and quiet.

Oh, I'm all right. Just a day or two in
bed.

Larry, are you sure you can walk? Maybe
we can find a wheelchair.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm all right.

If I could just lean on you a little.

Are you, uh, checked in anywhere, dear?

I just got in town. My bag's still at
the station. Oh, we'll have them brought

right over.

At, uh, Hotel Whitney and Strive Like
Mad. Yes, sir.

Well, here we are.

Well, this is a suite.

The best of none too good.

You get rid of Dr. Ryan, won't you,
Larry?

You said it.

Let me help you on with your coat, old
man.

I'm just taking it off.

It's all right, Doc.

There's not a thing you can do for me
that my wife can't do. Listen, Larry,

don't get me wrong.

I'd like to lay my hands on some of that
amnesia, but if you give yourself away

to this, then we lose a fortune.

Will you scram?

You can't get away with it. She knows
all about this, Wilson. What he thinks,

what he says.

Listen, if I don't make a noise like a
husband, she's going to be even more

suspicious. I've got a hunch your noise
is going to ruin our ranch. Will you get

out? You don't even know her name. She
wasn't christened darling or dear, you

know. Okay.

Okay. Yes?

Yes? Yes, what?

I thought you called me.

Oh. Okay.

Okay. Oh.

Larry,

I'd like to talk a little if you feel up
to it.

Talk? Oh, yes, of course, dear. This
looks cozy.

I'll sit over here if you don't mind.

I don't know...

quite how to...

Hello.

Listen, Larry, the more I think, the
more I worry.

You're playing with fire.

No, I'm not. Not yet.

Look it, Larry, if you'll only use your
head.

I'd like to see Mr. Lawrence Wilson,
please.

What name shall I say, sir? Mr. Billings
of the Habersville National Bank. Yes,

sir.

Hey, Larry, listen.

I don't want to take any more phone
calls from anyone.

Understand?

Now they won't be able to get us for
days.

Now.

Oh, I forgot all about your bags.

They won't be necessary.

Well, yes, but you'll need... Oh, well,
you can get a toothbrush and nightgown

on the shop downstairs.

Larry, I'm not going to stay here.

You're not going to stay?

No. I've decided once and for all to go
through with the divorce.

The... Okay.

I've made up my mind. You know, a thing
like a divorce can break up a marriage.

So I've heard.

And what's more, very often what seemed
like a really good reason for a divorce

isn't a good reason for a divorce at
all. Now, take for example, suppose I'd

been... beating you or something like
that?

I'd like to see you try.

Yeah, or, well, if I had, say, been
running around with some other woman...

with a woman? Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Oh, but you can never have enough proof,
Kay. Look, let's forget about the

divorce. And try to make a go of it just
once more, starting from scratch.

It's too late, Larry. Oh, nonsense. It's
never too late.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

There's someone at the door.

Oh, that's all right. It's locked.

Oh, go away.

You might as well answer it because I'm
leaving anyway. Oh, but Kay, what...

I'll be at the shorehead until tomorrow
if you want to get in touch with me.

You... you...

We kept ringing the roll and there was
no answer.

And here you were all the time.

How are you, Mr. Billings? Couldn't be
keener, thanks.

Well, Mr. Wilson, there doesn't seem to
be anything wrong with you.

That's what you think.

Goodbye, Larry.

Goodbye,

Kay. I met Mr. Billings in the lobby.

Came all the way from the Habersville
National Bank.

So, it's a long way to come from the
Habersville National Bank.

Bank?

Oh! Oh, well,

yes. How are you, Mr. Billion? I
couldn't be keener, thanks.

That's fine, fine. I'm just
bullgathering.

Here, sit right down here.

That's a nice soft spot.

Can I help you with anything?

Oh, that's fine, thanks.

How are tricks?

Oh, couldn't be keener, thanks.

Now, here's the 5 ,000. Thank you.

Now, that makes you 2 ,700 overdrawn.

Overdrawn. Well, when you went away, you
had on deposit with us $2 ,800.

Then we paid $500 for you as the final
installment on that plot of land at

Marsha's subdivision.

Here's your deed for that. It's all paid
in full.

Oh, yes, yes. And I owe the bank $2
,700.

The bank was only too glad to
accommodate you.

Nice of them. Yes, well, what about the
other accounts?

Well, of course, the B and C accounts
are separate.

Oh, yes, of course, of course. But
they're listed here on the statement.

Yes, here we are. In the C account, we
have $147 ,083.

Could I hear that again, please?

$147 ,083.

Yes.

That's the community chest account.

What?

I said that's the community chest
account.

And naturally, that amount is intact, as
all checks drawn on that have to be

countersigned by Mr. Sims, Miss
Breathwaite, Mr. Allen, two directors of

fund, Mr. Cochran, and yourself, of
course. Oh, yes, yes, of course.

How about the National Guard? Don't they
have to sign it, too?

Now,

in the B account, which is the Anti
-Vice League Fund... Anti -Vice League.

Oh, well, we can skip that. Right now,
that is.

Just as you say, Mr. Wilson.

I trust I've made everything clear.

Oh, yes, yes, very clear.

And you have the 5 ,000.

Yes, yes, we have the 5 ,000, all right.
Yes, we have that. Yes.

Well, good day, gentlemen.

Thank you very much, Mr. Billings.

Give my compliments to Mr. Sims and Miss
Breathwaite. I will indeedy.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Raising all that dough for an anti -vice
fund.

You certainly were a stinker.

Say, a guy that can raise that much
dough for the community chest certainly

ought to be able to raise a few bucks
for himself.

Stands to reason. Sure.

Haversville at Pennsylvania.

What about oil?

Oh, there's lots of money in oil.

Doc,

I think maybe you and I had better be on
our way to Haversville tomorrow.

You know, just to get the lay of the
land.

Say, speaking of land...

That guy Billings gave me a deed or
something. Sure.

Boy, I'm a property owner in
Haversville.

Boy, this gag makes the oil a cinch.

I wonder if we could locate Duke
Sheldon. You know, he used to specialize

oil. We could get him to meet us down
there. Wait a minute.

What's the matter?

What about your wife?

Oh, she's going to divorce me.

Can you imagine?

I meet a girl.

In 20 minutes, she's going to divorce
me.

But I can't let her do that.

I'll need her more than ever now.

How what?

Well, with a divorce going on, a scandal
in a little town like that.

Oh, Larry Wilson couldn't sell peanuts.

Where are you going?

I think I'm going over to Shorehaven and
have a little talk with that little

woman.

Hey, wait a minute.

Where's Kay? Where's Kay? What are you
doing?

Hey, come here. You can't go in that
room. You can't bust in like that.

Where's Kay?

Who are you?

Now, you know very well who I am.

Well, yes, but who do you think you are?

Oh.

Kay?

Kay? She might have been taking a bath.

Ah, shut up.

She's been here, all right. I saw the
register.

Oh, did you now? Yes, Lawrence Wilson
and wife. That's the way you signed it,

you dirty sneak. What do you mean by
that?

After all, she's my wife, isn't she?

Well, she may be your wife, but she's
engaged to me.

Engaged to you?

Yes, but why should Kay want to divorce
me?

Have you ever taken a good look at
yourself?

Let's not get personal. I ask, why
should she want to divorce me? You know

Yes, I do, but do you?

I'll say I do, and so does everybody
else that knows you. It's written all

you. Kay was never married to you.

Keep it clean, keep it clean.

No, she was married to the Rotary, the
Kiwanis, the Lions, the Moose, the Elks,

and the Greater Habersville Committee.

Boy, is that big of me.

Your idea of showing her a good time was
to take her to the annual ladies' night

dinner given by the Brotherhood of
Hoodowls.

Hoodowls? Yes, Hoodowls.

Kay spent five long years of boredom and
penny -pinching. Now she's going to

have some fun out of life.

With you?

It's against nature.

Would you mind getting rid of your wise
-cracking stooge? We can settle this

between the two of us.

Oh, there isn't anything to settle.

Oh, things and people have changed.

All bets are off. From now on, it's
every man for himself.

You promised Kay a divorce.

I might have known you'd go back on your
word, you dirty double -crosser, you.

You've been asking for this.

You were asking for that.

He might have at least told me his name.

Hello? Oh, it's you.

Larry Wilson, what do you mean by acting
that way with Herbert?

His name's Herbert.

I'm not surprised.

Well, listen, Kay, I didn't mean to hit
Herbert so hard, honestly.

What's that you say?

What'd he say?

He said he hit you.

He did not. I ran into a door.

You didn't hit Herbert. He ran into a
door.

What? What's he want?

He wants me to join him for dinner.

Oh, no, no, no.

He says if I don't go, he'll never give
me the divorce.

Why, it's blackmail. That's what it is.

Well, all right, but I'm going along,
too.

Very well, Larry. We'll join you.

Yes. Herbert's coming, too.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry, Herbert, but Larry has the
upper hand. We'll have to humor him.

You did run into a door, didn't you?

Lobster? We didn't order that.

Oh, yes, madam. They were ordered from
this morning's next.

Why, there must be some mistake.

Oh, no, sir. Mr. Wilson ordered them
this afternoon when he reserved the

Champagne? For Larry?

Oh, no, no.

Not all of it.

You and Herbert can have some, too.

Larry, what have you done to yourself?

Your mustache.

And that outfit.

Oh, just a few last -minute alterations.
I'm sorry I'm late.

Oh, Herbert, black tie?

At least he didn't buy his this
afternoon.

Yes, I can see that.

Ah, good old bubbles.

Aged, I hope.

Well, if Haversville could see you now.

You who ran for assemblyman on the
prohibition ticket.

Oh, yes, yes, dear. But you see, the
doctor said that I should have a drink

every 15 minutes. No, thank you.

Oh, you're not drinking, Herbert? No,
I'm not drinking. Now, look here,

Don't shush me.

Now, Kay and I came here tonight for
only one reason. Here's a man that gets

loud on no drinks. You're deliberately
trying to make him lose his temper.

Oh, I'm so sorry, old man. How about a
dance?

Certainly not.

Not you, Kay.

We came here to talk.

But the doctor said that I should have
plenty of exercise.

When I dance with you, I'm the one that
gets the exercise.

Well, I suppose I'll have to dance with
myself then.

to Virginia Real or any of your old
-time favorites, you know.

Where did you learn to dance like this?
Uh, by mail.

Larry. Something wrong, dear?

Oh, it's one thing. I can't breathe.

Oh.

Is this better? No.

You know, dear, if we could just slip
away for a few minutes, we could, dear.

came with Herbert.

Oh, well, if you came with Herbert, then
you should leave with me. That's only

fair.

You know, darling, I took some of the
loveliest snapshots on that cruise. I'd

just love to show them to you.

I am not going to look at your
snapshots. Oh, K .B.

Excuse

me.

Thanks for the use of my wife, old man.

Well, now, are we going to talk or
aren't we? I'm all ears. Fire away.

What are you going to do about the
divorce?

The divorce?

Oh, of course you can have a divorce.

In five or six weeks, perhaps.

What? Well, I'm opposed to this unseemly
haste.

Somebody might get the idea that Kay
didn't like me.

You can't fool me, Larry Wilson. It's
not Kay you're thinking of.

It's the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course.

Of course, I might have known.

Six weeks, you said?

Hmm. By some odd coincidence, that
happens to be the date set for the

of the president of the Chamber of
Commerce.

You're afraid a divorce will hurt your
chances.

Well, well, unless Kay comes back to
Habersville with me and for five or six

weeks as my loving and devoted wife,
I'll have to fight the case.

I feel it's my duty.

Oh.

If he feels it's his duty, we're sunk.

We might as well give in.

You're taking my wife.

The least you can do is give me the
Chamber of Commerce.

You're welcome.

Well, I think we should be getting on,
Kay. Yes, I think we'd better.

Oh, but you haven't eaten yet. I'm not
hungry.

Well, but this... Good night, Larry.

Well, I'll walk out with you. I didn't
bother.

Don't. No trouble at all.

Thank you, sir.

Good night, Larry.

Kay, do you think I...

Can I kiss you goodnight? Just once.

If Herbert doesn't mind.

Say, what do you think this is?

A sort of farewell.

Well, if you must.

Farewell, Kay.

Don't look back.

It'll be easier.

Yeah, it smells different than
Habersville.

That's the glue factory.

I forget. If anything comes up you can't
handle. Yes, I know. I faint.

Don't forget to catch me.

You nervous?

About.

Ex -mate, ex -mate, a wife. Mother,
darling.

Oh, mother.

Mother, mother, how well you're looking.

You look wonderful yourself.

Change, Larry.

What is it?

Vacation. It's wonderful. What a
vacation will do for a man, mother.

Careful. Larry, here's me a car.

Oh, yeah, well, how are you, Mr. Mayor?
You are certainly looking mighty fit.

Habersville is mighty proud of you, my
boy. What you did was not only a credit

to yourself and the community, but a
shining example for our youth.

And here is Habersville's highest award,
the key to our city.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, and the good
citizens of Habersville for this key

to our city.

And I only want to say that you all have
the key to my heart.

Ah, the sober -tongued stuffed shirt.

Oh, yes, Mayor, this is my good friend,
Dr. Ryan, Mr.

Mayor. Dr. Ryan?

I am proud and happy to be here, folks,
and I would like to take this occasion

to say, Larry, it's my proud privilege
to present a gift from the municipal

band. Oh.

Well. A solid silver trumpet.

Well, that's very nice. Thank you very
much, Mayor.

Thank you, boys.

Thank you.

And now I hope you'll lead us in singing
the Habersville Town Song, your own

brilliant composition.

Oh, yes.

Yes, of course.

Larry, suppose you start us with a
fanfare on your new trumpet.

Yes, of course. Very glad to.

Here, gently now, fellas. Now, be
careful, please.

Gently, right along in there.

Put the body on the bed, boys.

Do you think it's serious, Doctor? Oh,
no, no, no, no. It's all right. He'll be

quite all right. But he doesn't need
quiet.

Absolute quiet. Oh, he looks so pale. I
think if you two were to let him alone

for a while... Doctor, isn't there
anything... we can get? Not a thing. A

hot water, perhaps? Oh, hot water,
that's the worst thing. There's

something we can do. Not a thing. Would
you like another doctor?

Oh, no, don't worry about that.
Something I can do? Not a thing you can

Goodbye, that's fine. Thank you, ma 'am.

All right, little Eva, you can ease up
on the dying now.

You see it? Yeah, it's there.

You stuffed that.

What's that?

That is an owl.

You stuffed that, too.

And that, according to Mother.

What I do at night, build a campfire to
keep them away.

This is your room.

Where are you stopping? I'm your guest.

Mother insisted on it.

Oh, fine.

Yeah. Maybe now you can keep your mind
on your work.

What do you think I've been doing?

Whatever it was, it had nothing to do
with business.

Look at Larry.

You ain't going overboard for your wife,
are you?

Say, just because a guy takes off his
shoes and socks to go wading doesn't

he's planning to swim the Atlantic, does
it?

So long as you don't get in over your
head.

Look, Doctor, that's my department.

You better go out and take a slant at
the town and see who runs the burg, who

the big shots are.

Find out what brand of suckers they grow
here.

Right. And, Doc, you better phone the
Palace Hotel from outside and see if the

Duke has checked in yet, huh? I'm on my
way.

And, Doc, if I'm going to have to stay
in this jungle alone, you better send me

up a bottle of scotch.

Scotch, coming up.

Oh, Doctor, how is he? He's beginning to
sit up and take notice. Oh, is there

anything special in the way of diet?

Well, yes, he needs stimulants.

Scotch, brandy, champagne.

Oh, but Mr. Wilson is a teetotaler.

Well, he'll just have to force himself.

It's bitter, isn't it?

That's because you're not used to it,
dear. The doctor said you might have to

force yourself.

Oh, no, no, I don't want to.

There,

now. Feel better?

I can take it.

Oh.

Where's Kay?

In her room.

Now, Larry.

About Kay.

I know the whole story.

It's ridiculous.

Oh, I hope you brought her to her
senses, Mother.

The idea.

You in here, her in there for a whole
year.

I don't see how you could do such a
thing.

Oh, neither do I.

But we're going to change all that.

I've come to stay for a while.

I'm taking the porch room, which should
have been a nursery long ago.

Oh, Mother.

Don't argue.

Who's arguing?

But you'll never win K -back with a
stuffed squirrel.

I'll never stuff another squirrel as
long as I live.

Good. Now you better try and get some
sleep.

Good night, Mumsy. Good night.

Yes? It's me, Larry.

What do you want?

I'm hungry.

Well, look in the icebox.

Well, all right, dear.

Don't you bother. I'll get my own food.

Even if I faint before I get there.

Oh, Larry, what is it now?

Open the door, Catherine. I want to talk
to you.

All right.

I'm coming.

Catherine, I heard your conversation
with Larry just now.

Larry's voice carries well, doesn't it?
How you can sit there while your

husband, a sick man, does your work, I
don't know.

Oh, all right, all right. I'll sit in
some room.

All right, you can relax now.

Okay.

You came to me.

Wild horses couldn't keep me away.

You want some eggs?

More than anything in the world.

Almost.

I can't get over it.

The last time we had champagne in this
house was three years ago on New Year's

Eve when the boss came to dinner.

And even that was the bottle Mother gave
us for Christmas.

Kate, you know, I wish you would forget
about the past.

You know, I've changed a lot lately.

Mm -hmm. Mm -mm. Not you, Larry.

You couldn't change any more than one of
your stuffed owls could change.

You be careful, madam, or you'll turn my
pretty head with your flattery. I've

often wished I could turn your head on a
spit over a slow fire.

Oh, Kate, it makes my blood run cold.

Your blood was cold to begin with.

Now, there's where you're wrong.

How do you know?

Well, I may be a man of hidden depths
and secrets.

Oh, I may go along in a rut for years,
and then all of a sudden, bing, snap out

of it like that.

I feel awfully good.

Yeah?

Awfully, awfully good.

Oh, that's fine, darling, fine.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry? Hmm.

I'm so sorry I'm not in love with you
anymore, because if I was still in love

with you, I'd be awfully in love with
you.

Okay, darling.

You know, I know the most wonderful game
of two -handed post office.

I think I'd better drink my coffee.

Come on, let's play post office.

Huh?

What did you put in this coffee?

Oh, just a little rum.

Why? Well, because it's healthy there.

Kills the bugs in the coffee.

Come on over here and sit around on my
side.

I think you'd better have an
understanding.

I'm in this house simply because of our
agreement to convince the general public

that I'm still your wife. All right,
convince me. I'm one of the public.

Strikes me as a pretty foul thing to say
about the public.

You're certainly making me pay for my
scrambled eggs, aren't you?

You're not even eating them.

I'm not hungry.

I mean, I... So,

you're not hungry?

Well, no.

Not really, I guess.

You don't want to eat your nice
scrambled eggs?

No.

Then wear them.

How'd you make out with her?

Just standing.

What have you got on you?

Scrambled eggs.

What did you think?

I didn't know.

How'd you make out in town?

It's pie.

The town is loaded with dough. Just
right for an oil bull.

Did you phone the hotel?

Yeah. Duke just got in. He'll meet you
in front of the post office at 9 .30 in

the morning. That's fine. What about me?

You are the manager of a big bar he
works here.

I make pots?

Yeah. You may not have any money, but
you certainly have plenty of pots.

Well, I guess we better case the works.

Tonight? Sure. When I get there in the
morning, I've got to know my way around.

I'll go to the desk. Wait a minute, wait
a minute. What about... Oh, we'll pull

a sneak.

Sales department.

Haven't I got a cash department?

This is the sanctum sanctorum of L.
Wilson.

Now you know where you are.

Wouldn't you know it?

Uh -oh.

Oh.

A nice old one. Yes.

Don't you think we should, uh... So,
wait a minute.

I got the combination right here.

Try that.

Run back to the Wilson house. Come on.

Open the door,

please. Officers of the law.

What is it? Two burglars running back to
your place. Thought maybe they got in

the house.

I hate scraping sound on the wall
outside.

Larry?

Larry, are you all right?

Larry? Shh.

He's not well. I was afraid to leave
him. Where is he?

I know he's here someplace.

There he is.

What's the matter?

Wake up, Larry. There are burglars in
the house.

He's in no condition to see anybody.

You see, it was like this. There was a
window open and... Don't wake him. No

shocks.

Look at him. The way he's breathing.

His face is dripping wet.

He's perspiring.

Yes, that's because he's sweating.

I'd better look around the house, ma
'am. I'll show you. Doctor, why don't

get out of bed and do something?

I can't.

He gets upset if I leave him. Get a hot
water bottle, Kay. I'll put it at his

feet. No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, no. Not his feet. Don't touch his
feet. That's the one thing you mustn't

touch. Oh, nonsense.

I bet they're as cold as ice. Here, let
me see. Oh.

Oh. Oh.

I just had the most horrible dream.

There, there, dear.

Mother's just seeing if your feet are
cold.

Oh.

Say, doctor, I can't see anything to
laugh about. His feet are as cold as

Okay, make that water good and hot.

Hey, come here a minute, will you?

Get rid of her.

I only sleep in the top of my pajamas.

Oh, all right.

Will you show me the rest of the house,
ma 'am? Yes, sir.

It's all set.

Did you plant the oil?

Tonight. How was your amnesia?

Finally, I saw you.

Where'd you get that makeup?

I've been reading the fashion plates.

Phone you later.

Maybe we better say you're still too
weak to work. Don't destroy my

because I haven't got it.

Here goes.

Mr. Wilson, how are you? Hello, Mr.
Wilson.

It's good to see you back.

Glad to see you as well.

Oh,

this is my friend, Dr. Ryan. Meet the
boys.

Chief, here's Mr. Wilson.

Hello, Larry.

Well,

well, well. Chief, it certainly is good
to see you again. Welcome home, Larry.

Say, you've changed.

Oh, just a little streamlining. You
know, clothes make the man.

Oh, this is Dr. Ryan, Chief.

How are you, Mr. Chief? Sims is the
name.

Yes, yes.

Well, how are things getting along? Not
as well as when you were here.

By the way, that's too bad about your
collapse at the station yesterday. Oh,

just a little relapse. He's liable to do
that every once in a while. while, for

a couple of months. Here you are, Larry,
back home.

Oh, yes.

No place like home.

You've got a lot of work piled up. I'll
look in later.

Yes, yes, of course, yes.

See you later, Mr. Chimps.

Oh,

Mr. Wilson, I'm so glad you're back.

How you have... I know, changed.

The police are here now, Mr. Wilson.

What? Where?

In your office. It's about the robbery
last night.

Oh, the robbery.

Hello, Mr. Wilson. Glad to see you back.
How are you, Sergeant? We're out on the

trail while it still prays. Oh, the
spirit of Habersville.

Do you remember Malavinsky, our
fingerprint expert?

Oh, how do you do? Oh, yes, of course.

Very well. Meet Sergeant... That's Dr.

Ryan and... Hiya, Doctor.

Mr. Malavinsky, our fingerprint expert.

Hey, don't!

My, how you scared me.

What's the matter? Have I done something
I... No, they'll be your fingerprints.

They'll be my...

Oh, dear. How stupid of me.

Come on, Joe. It's no use now. I guess
we'd better mosey along.

Well, so long.

So long, friend.

I'll see you again.

Oh.

Smith's in the way of my office. He
wants an answer. What are you going to

Have you thought it over? Have you
changed your mind?

Well, uh, uh, Chief, you're going to be
surprised by what I say to that. I knew

you'd come around.

That's great. I'll go tell him right
now.

Here's all your mail, Mr. Wilson.

I've got good news for you, Mr. Wilson.
Very good news.

70 hours from the guild to shipping.

70 hours?

That's fine, fine.

Okay, Mr. Wilson.

It's the Hendrickson order. He wants 90
gross of X -245.

And prompt delivery, and we're out of
stock.

Hello? Oh, well, now, that's a very
important question.

You better call me back after lunch,
yes.

We're trying it in tile and clay.

Shall we make up a bisque?

Well, uh... Have you taken it up with
Mr. Sims?

He referred me to you.

Oh. Mm -hmm.

Uh... How long have you been with us?

Twelve years.

Twelve years.

Then you decide.

What?

Oh, but Mr. Wilson, you always said that
you... Ah, but it's a new policy.

From now on, every... Every man is on
his own. That goes for you and you and

everybody.

Well, it seems to be out of order.

It's been changed since I've been away.

Oh,

there we are. Yeah?

Mrs. Wilson would like to see you for
just a moment.

Oh, yes, yes. By all means, have her
come right in.

If you boys will excuse me, Mrs.

Wilson. And remember, boys,
individuality. That's what makes a firm.

Making our own decisions.

Taking responsibility.

It builds character and gets the best
results.

Yes, Mr. Wilson. Certainly, Mr. Wilson.

Scram. I get it.

Good morning, Doctor.

Good morning, Mrs. Wilson.

Now, don't tell me. I know.

You just couldn't stand being apart any
longer. You needed me.

This will be more comfortable.

There we are.

Now.

It's the 15th.

The 15th?

Yes, yes, yes.

That means that tomorrow is the 16th.

It's just continually amazing to me the
things you can think of to keep from

writing a check.

A check?

Oh!

The 15th.

I guess we've established that, all
right.

That would be...

How much? You know perfectly well how
much. No, what I meant was that maybe we

could just make it a lump sum this time.

How about 200?

What? Well, that's just for the time
being, of course.

Have you struck oil?

Oil?

Oh, that's rich.

Suppose I give it to you in cash.

Now, if you run short, you just call on
me.

Don't wake me up. Let me dream.

Oh.

Larry, can you get with Joe and me right
away?

Oh, I'm very sorry, Chief, but something
very important has come up. I've got to

go out right away with my wife.

With me? I'm going shopping.

You need a man's advice.

No, no. The last time I went shopping
with you, I wound up in a cut price

Hubbard. You won't end up in a Mother
Hubbard today.

Ah, you said something about nightgowns?

Well, Larry, we're running up a
tremendous bill.

Now, don't you worry. I'm the penny
pincher in our family.

Ah, here we are.

I'd like to look at some... The
complaint department is on the third

Wilson.

What's eating her?

The same old pillowcase.

Pillowcase? The one they advertised for
$2 .69 and charged you $2 .98 for.

You were only going to have her
arrested.

Oh, yes, yes, that's right.

Well, I wish I had.

Can I help you, Mrs. Wilson?

Mr. Wilson.

Oh, yes, yes.

Mrs. Wilson would like to look at some
nightgowns. Oh, yes.

This is the model you usually buy, Mrs.
Wilson.

Huh?

Oh, well, uh... Wrap it up. Yes, sir.
And burn it.

But you'll like this, Mr. Wilson. It's
reduced to a special price this week.

You know, I think I could whip up
something miftier than that myself out

flower sacks.

Well, it's the cheapest we have.

But I don't want anything cheap.

I want something expensive.

Oh, Mr.

Himes. Oh, how do you do, Mr. Wilson?
How do you do? Mr. Wilson said he wants

buy something expensive.

Somebody's making fun of us today, eh,
Mr. Wilson?

Well, I just want to buy something nice.
I don't care whether it's expensive or

not.

Give up?

No, no. I'm groggy, but I'm game.

Look, just forget about me.

Let's pretend that it's an entirely
different customer. It's... Oh, here.

This is Mrs.

Albemarle. One of the Pittsburgh
Albemarles. You know, coal and iron.

Well, Mrs.

Albemarle wants to buy a new nightgown
and hang the expense.

Perhaps I'd better get the manager.

Larry, let's forget it. I don't really
need a nightgown. You're going to get a

new nightgown if I have to buy two
silkworms and start from scratch.

Look, Mrs. Albemarle has been very
patient up to now, but she's getting

little tired of this pup tent she's
wearing. Look at that sailcloth.

You'll pardon my cold hands, won't you,
Mrs. Albemarle?

She's positively ashamed to be seen in
it.

Probably more ashamed to be seen without
it.

Oh, you don't know Mrs. Albemarle.

Now, haven't you something from, say,
Charmaine?

Yes, sir.

Where did you learn about Charmaine?

Oh, on the boat. It was in a magazine.

Isn't that what you had in mind, sir?

Of course.

Well, now, that's... No.

Now,

there we are.

Now, isn't that pretty?

It's lovely.

How much is it?

Ninety dollars.

Good. Wrap it up and send it along.

Yes, Mr. Wilson.

Kay, what you need is some tea.

After a strenuous day's shopping,
there's nothing like a good cup of...

madam. Your slip's showing.

Oh, boy, what a place to get to. Well,
it certainly took you long enough.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Duke. I was delayed.

Oh, oh.

Isn't that beautiful, Duke? You're a
genius. How'd you rig it?

The barrel's buried under the bank.

I just led the pipe out to there and
sent it over in about ten minutes.

Well, if that doesn't sell itself, my
name's not Larry Wilson.

Come to think of it, it's not, is it?
Well, if you're not, who is?

Huh? Oh, don't confuse me, Doctor.

Now the question is how to get the
suckers out to this wilderness so they

admire your landscaping, Duke. You mean
you haven't figured that out yet?

Uh...

Well, I've been sort of busy. Yeah, I
heard all about that. Now listen,

Flop on this job and it's a permanent
flop.

Duke, the money is practically in your
pants right now.

I got it. I'll give a picnic Sunday. Get
the leading citizens out here. Go in

swimming, come out covered with oil.
That's great.

This is Tuesday. Well, there won't be
enough oil around here to fill a

lighter by Sunday. Well, never mind.
Leave it to me.

Getting them out here is my department.

That's a swell job, Duke. We can't miss.
We better not.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I mean, we better not.

What are you worrying about?

Everything's going to be dandy -wandy.

I'll see you fellas later.

Who is it?

Open the door.

It's open.

I thought it was locked.

I suppose it had been.

Well, I'd have kicked it down.

What for?

What?

What for?

Oh, so I could come in.

Why?

Why? That's right. Why?

Oh, because I wanted to see how pretty
you looked in your new negligee.

I was just trying it on.

Certainly pretty.

I just spent two hours straightening
things out with Herbert.

Don't you think you've caused me enough
trouble for one day?

No.

Sometimes you remind me of a high school
boy on the street corner whistling at

girls.

Well, it's romantic to whistle at the
opposite sex.

Birds do it.

Lovebirds. Lovebirds don't whistle. They
coo. No, they whistle a sort of low,

cooing whistle. Like this.

Sort of gets you, doesn't it?

Not particularly.

No? You know, I knew a case once where a
female lovebird locked the male

lovebird out of her nest. And he stood
outside and he whistled and he whistled

and he whistled like this.

Please let me in.

Oh,

it was pitiful.

And then finally he lost his temper.

So he kicked the door of the cage down.

And what do you suppose the female did
then?

Gave him a sharp peck at the base of the
skull?

No. No, she spread her soft little wing
around him.

And she sighed.

And she laid him an egg.

Larry, please, for heaven's sakes, leave
me alone.

Well, what's the matter? I haven't done
anything.

What are you getting angry about?

Oh, I don't know.

Yes, I do know.

I know.

It's Herbert. That's who it is. It's
Herbert.

Kay, if Herbert's doing anything to make
you unhappy... It isn't Herbert, it's

you.

Me? Yes, you.

You've done everything you could think
of to make me miserable.

What have I done?

I suppose you didn't take me out and buy
me the most expensive clothes in town.

Is that bad?

And I suppose you didn't say nice things
to me and pay me dozens of compliments

and try your best to please me. You
couldn't have been more absolutely

You were just as nice and sweet and kind
as you could be, and you know it.

I guess I've been a heel.

You're not getting anywhere, and I wish
you'd stop.

Stop not getting anywhere?

No, stop getting me mixed up.

I want you to be your old self.

Your owl -stuffing, speech -making,
pompous old self.

I don't want any more of this Jekyll and
Hyde business.

Well, now, let me get this clear. You
mean that you're upset because I've been

acting as though I find you lovely?

Yes.

Yeah, but you are lovely, Kay. If you
only give me half a chance, I'd prove

how lovely I think you are. There you go
again.

Well, I was only trying to... No!

No what?

I've got something to tell you, and I
don't want you to say a word.

Not a word?

Just keep quiet.

Understand?

You said before that I was lovely,
attractive to you.

Well, that's not so. It's just your
pride, that's all.

Stop doing that.

You're losing me, so suddenly I seem
worth holding on to.

It's not me. It's just the idea of
giving up anything that ever belonged to

You don't love me. You never did.

Public opinion is the only thing you
love. Public opinion, public buildings,

public positions.

You just can't stand being hurt in the
eyes of the public.

Now, that's why I resent your
attentions, and that's why my door is

stay locked as long as I'm in this
house.

Now, if you have anything to say, make
it short.

My gosh, Kate.

There isn't anything to cry about.

Please go away.

Golly, you got up early.

Yeah. Oh, uh, has Duke gotten the
options?

He has on all the land surrounding
yours.

Cost him 400 fish.

I'm going to get some customers out of
that creek today if I've got to carry

them out and rub their noses in it.
Yeah, Duke says he wants some action. He

wants some action.

You think I want to hang around this
Hickberg any longer than I have to?

Yeah, that's funny. I thought... Well,
you thought what?

Nothing.

That is, I, uh... Well, nothing, I
guess.

Spread your eye over that.

What is it? Just a list of all the
higher income brackets.

Uncle Sam's sucker list.

You mean they really print them? Yeah.
They try to make it a little easier for

us now.

Oh.

Leonard Harkspur, 210 grand. Isn't that
beautiful?

Say, we've got to remember that. Leonard
Harkspur, 210 grand.

Edward Littlejohn, 131 ,000. Say, some
of these local boys do pretty good,

they? Is it all right for Corporal
Bellinson now?

What do you mean, is it all right?

It's Wednesday, you know.

Oh, yes, yes, it is Wednesday.

Who is Corporal Bellinson?

Oh, you tell him, Miss Stinkle.

He has a ranger medallion, two silver
stars, and a community stripe.

You don't say.

If you'd put me at ease, sir, I'd like
to shake you by the hand.

Oh, well.

Well, that's easy.

How are you? At ease, Bellumson.

The troop is very proud of you, sir.
That rescue at sea.

I'm the guy whose life he saved.

Ryan's the name. Ranger Leader Ryan from
Scranton?

No, no, I'm awful sorry.

I was in the army, though.

It's two o 'clock, sir. The troop's
outside already.

Where are they going?

Well, that's up to Mr. Wilson.

Oh, well, uh...

I'm afraid this afternoon... He can't go
in this afternoon.

But it harps for his test today.

It's out of the question.

Harkspur? Yes, sir.

Now, look here, young man.

Leonard Harkspur? Sure, junior.

He's been waiting for you to get back to
take his test for first -class ranger.

And Brown and Little John have been
working very hard to get out of the

tenderfoot class.

Little John, eh?

Yes, sir.

Don't you remember, Mr. Wilson?

You said... Oh, of course, of course I
remember.

You know, as a matter of fact...

I had arranged a test for today, a sort
of water test. You remember we were

talking about the water test?

Very interesting.

That's blended, sir. But how about
shooting the buck first?

Go ahead, you're faded.

Oh, gambling at your age.

Oh, you don't understand, sir.

Mr. Wilson's been showing us how to
trail a deer and then shoot it with a

and arrow. We call it shooting the buck.

Well, what do you know?

Well, let's get going, huh?

Lead on, corporal. But your uniform.

Am I what?

For a moment you'd forgotten, hadn't
you, sir?

for, sir?

Uh, it's good for the leg muscle.

Oh, it's good for the leg muscle.

Good for the leg muscle. Good for the
leg muscle.

Good for the leg muscle.

Good for the leg muscle. Good for the
leg muscle.

Hey,

Tom, Tom, you lost your army.

They went that -a -way.

Oh.

Oh.

Corporal! Villains!

Company, halt!

Corporal, are you sure this is the
shortcut to the creek?

Oh, yes, sir. We're almost there now.

All right.

It certainly is great to see Larry
Wilson back in harness, all right, all

Oh, well, thanks. It's certainly good to
be back.

You know our visitor from the West
Happersville troop, Patrol Leader

all right, all right.

Oh, yeah.

Ranger Leader Wilson, at the last
meeting of the Royal Rangers Council of

County of Happersville, it was decided
to bestow upon you a token of

appreciation. It gives me great pleasure
to present to you, for outstanding

service to the youth of your community,

The Brown Beaver.

Uh, ma 'am?

Uh, ma 'am, uh, I'm, uh, I'm, uh, not
much at speech

-making.

So, uh, about, uh, about, uh, all I can
say is that when I,

uh, When I came out here this afternoon,
about the

last thing I expected to get was a
beaver.

Oh,

thank you, thank you, one and all. And
now, let's go to the creek.

Oh, sir, you've forgotten Hartsburg's
test.

Oh, yes, yes, Hartsburg's test.

Committee in charge of the deer cleats,
move.

Oxford, front and center.

Oxford, in five minutes you'll take up
the trail of the buck.

Five minutes later, the troop will
follow you.

If you succeed in locating Ranger Leader
Wilson before the troop catches up to

you, you will have passed the training
quest of a first -class ranger. You have

my own and the troop's best wishes.

You know, the whole organization is
clamoring to hear more about your

woodsmanship, Mr. Wilson. I thought I'd
train along with you today and...

Take a few notes on your technique.

Patrol leader Billings is going to write
an article about you for our Rangers

Gazette. Well, I wasn't planning on
doing very much today.

Oh, I know it won't seem much to you.

I just hope I can keep up, that's all.

Ready, sir?

Yeah,

are you ready?

Are you ready?

I'm sorry, Ranger Leader Wilson, but I
don't get it. Oh, well, it's all very

simple, Mr. Billings. You see, I'm a
four

-footed animal in flight.

Yes, and you see, in the first flush of
panic, the animal mind isn't bright

enough to realize that he could have run
around the brush.

Well, that adds up all right.

Oh, yes. It's just elementary deer
psychology. Oh.

Oh, I see.

That's where the deer bedded for the
night.

Yes, yes, that's it.

You got it.

You must have had your eyes wide open to
find a spot like this.

Thanks.

But, Mr.

Wilson, won't this make it too difficult
for the young fellow?

Oh, yes. Yes, we...

Mustn't make it too difficult for him,
must we?

No.

This

particular

deer doesn't seem to run very much, Mr.
Wilson.

No,

no, this deer relies more on his wits.

Mr. Wilson!

Mr.

Wilson!

Mr. Wilson.

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

Oh, here you are. I found you.

Where is he? The tracks end here.

The tracks end here?

Yes. Well, if the tracks end here, how
will I be able to follow him any

I can't follow him. Now I'm going to be
a first -class ranger.

Don't you worry, young fellow. There's
not a man in the country who could solve

this problem. I tell you, it's the most
amazing bit of widowship I've seen in my

life. What's the matter? What's
happened?

It's not Barry. He didn't leave any more
tracks.

No?

Barry!

Barry!

Barry is waiting for us. He was here all
the time.

He was right here laughing at us. Well,
what happened? What delayed you?

Ranger Leader Wilson, when I meet a
genius, I...

I'd take off my hat.

I'd give a Sunday necktie to know how
you did it.

Mr. Billings, that one's known only to
creatures of the forest.

I had to learn it the hard way.

Why do you make the test so hard for me?
Now I'm not going to be a ranger. No,

no, no.

Don't worry, Hawkspur.

I'll give you another chance.

Now, I want to see how accurately you
can find your way with the aid of a map.

You will proceed directly to the creek.

You'll cross the creek at... At this
point.

Huh? Uh, and, uh, then, uh, then you can
go home.

Ah, the creek's right over the knoll
there. Heck, that ain't no test.

Well,

uh, do you want to become a first -class
ranger?

Okay, I'll go.

No, no, wait just a minute now. Oh, uh,
little John.

Little John.

Oh, yes.

Now, Little John, you go along with
Foxborough and make sure that he carries

his orders. Yes, sir. May I go too, sir?

Oh, uh, uh, Bellinson, uh, what is your
father doing these days?

Why, he's still president of the bank,
sir.

Oh, he is, huh? Well, you run right
along. Run right along.

What a cock and bull story.

Imagine finding oil out here.

But, Dad, we've seen... Aren't you
ashamed of yourself, dragging your

on a wild goose chase?

Well, I suppose I got the oil off a
truck or something.

No, we didn't.

Honest. Don't contradict me. I guess I
know when you're lying.

Well, I suppose we might as well go
home. Yes, might as well, I guess.

Good night, Leonard.

Good night, Edward.

Hello, Ed.

Sometimes I tell you not to point.

Well, I suppose your boy's told you.
There's not a way to prove it.

I told my boy when he told me.

No world, huh?

Yeah, that's Duke all right.

You won't forget the signal, will you?

I remember.

But you quit spewing.

Where's your handkerchief?

In my pocket.

I've given up wearing it on my head this
season. Yeah, those fellas ought to be

here. What did Hartspur say to you on
the phone?

He said they'd be here at 7 o 'clock.

Did he mention the oil?

No, not a word.

Oh, that's fine. They're going to play
you for the sucker. Let's take to the

cinch. Yeah.

I want to... Larry, some gentleman to
see you.

Throw them in by all means, mother.

Come in, gentlemen.

You own a piece of land here,

Marsh's subdivision. Yes.

The state is building a new highway
through the suburbs, and we've brought

pressure to see that it runs out through
your land. What would you say to a

check for $10 ,000?

A clear profit of $7 ,500.

$10 ,000?

What?

That's a profit of...

300 % of my investment. Oh, I... Oh, I
couldn't take that, gentlemen.

We think it's coming to you, Lassie.

Yes, but I... Why, I'd feel like a
profiteer, you know?

However, if it's agreeable to you,
gentlemen, it's a deal.

Splendid. I have a check right here.

I think I have the deed to that land
right here in my desk.

Gee, uh... A grant deed? Yes, yes, there
it is.

Now, shall I, uh...

Shall I just indicate the transfer on
the back? I must see Mr. Wilson at once,

sir. Well, I wonder who that could be.

Go ahead, Larry.

Don't break in. Stand aside, sir. And
wait your turn.

I'm sorry to intrude, Mr.

Wilson. I am Mr. Wilson.

Oh, thank you.

My name is Sheldon, Colonel E .J.
Sheldon.

Well, this is rather unusual, sir, but
how do you do?

This is Mr.

Hawkspur.

Mr. Bellinson and Mr.

Littlejohn. How do you do, gentlemen?

Mr. Wilson, I'll be brief.

You're the owner of Marsh's subdivision,
I believe.

Yes.

Splendid. Now, my firm's very anxious to
get a hold of that land.

What do you take for it?

Well, this is a coincidence.

I was just offered $10 ,000 for that
land. Mr. Wilson, I'll double that

You mean it?

I'm not in the habit of joking, sir.

Colonel Sheldon has heard about the new
road.

New road?

I know of no road.

Mr. Wilson, I'm in the gravel business,
and your land contains valuable deposits

of that substance.

Gravel on my land?

You heard my offer, Mr. Wilson.

How about it?

Wait a minute, Larry.

We'll match Colonel Sheldon's offer.

Larry? Yes?

Larry, what are you doing?

Oh, I... Are you selling those locks you
own?

Well, no, not yet, dear, but it looks as
if I might. Do you know what's on the

land? Oh, yes, dear. I know all about
the rich gravel deposits.

Gravel deposits?

Gravel deposits my foot. It's oil.

Oil?

Well, this is just an idle rumor, I'm
sure.

You know, these things come up and
before you know it... This is no idle

This is oil and gobs of it.

It seems to me, Colonel, that you have
deliberately misrepresented the value of

Mr. Wilson's property.

Watch your step, Larry.

Don't let anyone swindle you.

No, thank you, dear. I won't.

Major Shelby?

Colonel Sheldon.

Well, Colonel, Admiral, or whatever it
is, I'll have to ask you to leave this

house, sir. Oh, now, just a moment, my
dear sir.

Business is business, and I have the
right to drive as good a bargain as I

You have no right to come in and try to
swindle one of our town's leading

citizens, Colonel.

I'll give you $100 ,000 for a half
interest in your property, Mr. Wilson.

What?

No.

My good fortune is Habersville's.

My friends and I will handle this
proposition.

You bet.

Oh, so that's it. Well, then permit me
to inform you that I have options on the

four pieces of property surrounding
yours.

And I'll have drilling equipment out
there by tomorrow night.

Chances are my wealth will drain off
every drop of oil and leave your

valueless.

Just a moment, Colonel Sheldon.

Suppose we buy you out.

With what?

With hard cash.

Right. How much did it take for your
option?

Well, I own four parcels. I'll take,
um...

50 ,000 each.

How do you propose to handle that, Mr.

Wilson?

Well, uh... Sir?

It's a deal.

Very well.

Suppose we meet in my rooms at the
Palace Hotel.

What time?

Better give us four or five hours. All
right.

I shall expect you between 11 and 12.

See you later, gentlemen.

We'll have to work fast to get that
money. Exactly. We mustn't give Sheldon

chance to back out. We'll get it. Will
you meet us later in Sheldon's room,

Larry? What?

Oh, yes, yes. Finally. Come on, fellas.
Let's go. Oh, good evening, Doctor. Good

evening, Doctor. Good evening.

Good evening.

Great work, pal. I was listening to the
door. I'm proud of you.

Oh, yes, thanks.

Where's Kay?

Kay? Oh, I saw her go out a minute ago
with a letter in her hand.

By the way, how did she know about the
oil?

That's what I want to find out.

Oh, Kay?

Kay?

If your arm is going my way, I'll give
it a lift.

No hat, envelope in hand?

I deduce that you're going to mail a
letter.

Yes, I'm going to mail it.

I needn't tell you how much you saved
me.

I'm still so mad I could explode.

Those crooks pretending to be your
friends.

And Herbert's no better.

He acted as though I were a common
thief.

As if I ought to be glad of a chance to
pick your pocket legally.

Oh, so that's how you...

You're the only honest one in the whole
crowd.

Who, me? You're really too good for this
town.

No, not really.

Exit Herbert?

Exit Herbert.

I want to walk.

Oh, is this a private walk, or can
anyone come?

Anyone can come, even you.

Gosh, it was certainly worth a climb,
wasn't it? A wonderful view.

Well, Larry, don't tell me you've
forgotten this place.

Forgot?

Why, no. How could I forget it?

It was right here.

Hmm?

Oh, yes, yes. No, no, I think it was a
little more to the left. I think you're

right.

About there, huh?

That's just the way you were sitting.

Hmm?

Oh, yes, that's right.

I was.

Remember what you said?

Uh... Yeah.

You? Mm -hmm.

You said, Kay, darling, marriage is the
soundest investment two people can make.

Yeah, that's right.

Kay, why did you ever marry me?

Because I felt that...

Back of those stuffed trophies and large
pins, there was another person.

An exciting person.

The sort of man I dreamt of marrying.

He wasn't really there, though, was he?

Yes, Larry.

I finally found the man I thought I
married.

Cities look different at night, don't
they? All those lights.

It's like a...

Like an evening gown, a black evening
gown with spangles.

I'm sorry I didn't find him sooner.

Oh, don't apologize for what you thought
of me. You were right. You're still

right. No, I was terribly wrong.

But I was afraid.

I was afraid of falling in love with you
again.

If you were afraid then, you should be
twice as afraid now.

I don't understand that.

I hope you never will.

Well, I suppose I'd better be getting
back.

Shall we go?

All right.

Larry, come here.

You make me sick.

Huh? If there's anything that turns my
stomach, it's a man who acts noble.

Noble? You know darn well that you love
me.

And now you're acting noble and giving
me up because something's wrong.

I don't know what it is, but I'm going
to find out.

Okay, wait, I... Ever since you got off
that boat, you've been chasing me like

an amorous goat.

You've tried your darndest to make me
fall in love with you, and now you have.

So from now on, I'm going to do the
chasing.

And believe me, brother, you're going to
know you've been chased.

You're finally back, huh?

Yeah.

How did you find out about the oil?

Perfect. Oh, yeah.

I thought we'd drop the suitcases out
the window, then grab them when we

scrammed out of town.

I got yours packed already.

Doc, I don't favor him.

You know, my share of this will be about
50 grand.

Holy, Ike, can you imagine me with 50
Gs? Doc,

how'd you like to go to work in my
pocket right now?

I wouldn't like it.

What's the angle?

About 30 bucks a week.

More when you learn the business.

What are you getting at?

I'm getting a chance to eat regular and
sleep regular and not have to duck into

a cellar every time you see a cop.

Maybe have a little home of your own
with a nice garden, porch.

Are you kidding me?

Maybe meet some nice, plump little lady
who thinks you're the greatest guy in

the world.

Get married, have some kids, teach them
to ride a bike, play baseball with their

boys. The girls, you can put hair
ribbons on them and take them walking on

Sundays. Gee, that sounds wonderful.

Yeah?

I'm glad you like it, Doc, because
that's what we're going to do.

Yeah? Well, you're crazy.

Can you imagine us setting up
housekeeping in this town after the oil

I'm afraid you're not very quick, Doc.

The oil deal is off.

The oil deal is off?

Then I don't get my 50 G's?

From 50 G's to 30 bucks.

And you're the guy that was only going
in waiting.

I'm sorry, Doc.

It's all right with me.

After all, you saved my life. Hey, what
about Duke?

Yeah.

I'm afraid Duke is just a wee bit
mercenary.

Yeah, and he likes money, too.

Well, I suppose I might as well go on my
way. This is likely to develop into

quite a argument.

Don't get him sore, Larry. I seen your
fight once, and honestly, it was awful.

Doc?

What I'm trying to hang on to is worth a
punch in the nose.

A punch in the nose.

Duke will kill him.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Doc.

Uh, Duke, uh, Duke, was you ever in
love?

Say, what are you talking about?

I'm talking about love, Duke.

You know, a nice little home with a
couple of kids and a porch.

And not having to duck a cop every time
you see a seller.

Say, what have you been drinking?

And look, Duke, if it's a boy, you can
teach him to play baseball.

And if it's a bicycle, oh, Duke, you can
put hair ribbons on her and go walking

on Sundays.

You better go and sleep it off.

You got to remember another thing, Duke.

Larry's had this here now amnesia.

Oh, Duke, you don't know amnesia.

It just does things to a fella.

For instance, you take love.

Love.

Love me, uh, love me right?

Yes, that's right. Didn't he come in the
money?

Yeah, well, I just thought you'd like to
know.

That's all.

Bye.

Hello.

Guy I know.

He's a horse crazy.

How did amnesia come in, doctor?

Oh, uh, why, uh, he, uh, amnesia wasn't
in the race.

Come here, doctor.

Sit down.

Now we're going to have a nice long
talk.

Yes, ma 'am.

Come in.

Duke? Oh, it's you.

Say, you're here early.

What's up?

Up? Why?

Yeah, Doc Ryan just phoned me.

Oh, he did, huh?

Mm -hmm.

What'd he say?

Well, it wasn't quite clear, but I got
the feeling that I was headed for the

sharp end of a sellout.

Come on, Kerry.

What is it? Let's have it.

Well, Duke, the oil deal is finished.

I'm calling it off. Take another look in
your crystal ball, my friend.

This oil scheme is pure fraud.

And if you welch on me, I'll see that
the whole town knows who cooked it up.

Whatever you do, I can't go through with
it.

I can't give my wife a dirty deal like
that. Well, the deal you're giving me

isn't exactly lily white. I know.

It isn't easy for me to let you down,
but I... I simply can't help it, Duke. I

can't go through with it.

Oh, this Moonlight and Rose is who they
don't fool me.

You and this dame are up to something.

No, you're wrong, then.

She doesn't know anything about it.

Larry.

Why, Kate.

What are you doing here?

It's all right, Larry.

I know.

Oh, so she didn't know a thing, huh?

You told her about the oil?

She pumped it out of me.

Kate.

I want you to go home.

Nobody's going home. Just a minute,
Duke. She had nothing to do with this.

her out.

Don't you dare lay a hand on him, you
overgrown bully.

Shut your trap, madam.

Now, you listen to me.

If you and this Tootsie here want to
play house and we get the cash, that's

okay. But this car runs to the end of
the line, and nobody gets off till it

there. You can't give me orders, you
crook. That's right, lady. I'm a crook.

what do you think he is, a Bible
salesman? I don't care if he was an axe

murderer. That's all finished. Oh, I've
seen him in love before.

It usually lasts from four to six weeks.

That's a lie.

Listen, lady.

I generally never sock a dame.

But I'm inclined to make an exception of
you.

Okay, Duke. You asked for it.

Oh! Don't look out! Don't look out!

Take it easy. You killed him. I hope so.

Oh, Doc. Gladly.

Oh. Oh,

Doc. Help.

Hello? Matt, I'm drowly.

Oh, Larry, darling.

Oh.

Okay.

Hey.

How did you get aboard ship?

What?

Oh, yes.

You. It's all your fault, sir.

It's all your fault for falling
overboard.

You're... Your drunken conduct is... is
inexcusable. All right, Kerry, get up

and quit stalling.

I don't believe I know you.

Holy Ike.

Oh, Larry.

This isn't the boat.

What's happened?

Come on, pal, pull yourself together,
will you?

We're in the middle of a big deal.

Deal? Oh, yes. If you'll come to my
office, I'll be very happy to show you

full line of pots.

Oh, it's no use. It's no use.

I hope you don't mind, Larry, if we let
Herbert in on our little proposition.

He's agreed to put up... What's the
matter, Larry? What's happened? He

remember anything up to a few minutes
ago.

He's had an attack of amnesia.

Amnesia?

Good heavens.

Don't worry, Larry. It's no worse than a
bad cold.

Amazing. Doesn't he remember about the
oil deal?

Oil? Oil deal?

Yes, yes, the oil deal. Certainly. Of
course.

Gentlemen, you know I've always said
that a man should stick to his line.

My line is pots.

But, Larry, Colonel Sheldon says this
deal must be closed tonight.

Why are you torturing him like this?
Can't you see he's in no condition to

discuss your silly business now?

Sit down, Larry.

Take it easy, pal. Take it easy.

I had the foresight to cash a large
check when I heard about the oil deal.

Get a good doctor. Oh.

Mrs. Wilson is right.

It's not fair to a man in this condition
to ask him to talk business tonight.

Come along. But this is an important
deal. Actually, I'm sympathetic, but at

same time. No, no, after all this,
there's nothing you can do. Just

think

of it. A clunk on the head gives me a
pal.

Another clunk takes him away from me.

Oh, Mrs. Wilson, I forgot to tell you.

What?

Nothing.

You certainly can kick that amnesia
around.
