MIGHT AS WELL SIT DOWN AND
TAKE IT EASY, MISS GREY.

I WANT TO HAVE
A LONG, LONG LOOK

BEFORE I GO BACK.

MAYBE YOU AIN'T
GOING BACK.

MAYBE THE JURY'S
AGREEING RIGHT NOW

TO TURN IN A VERDICT
OF "NOT GUILTY."

OH, STOP IT.

I'M TRYING NOT
TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I'M SORRY.

OH, DON'T MIND ME.

IT'S JUST THAT...

PERHAPS THE JURY'S NOT
GOING TO SAY, "NOT GUILTY."

WHY DO THEY TAKE
SO LONG?

ALL JURIES LIKE
TO TALK A LOT.

MAKES THEM FEEL
MORE IMPORTANT.

BUT WHAT IS THERE
TO TALK ABOUT?

I TOLD THEM THE TRUTH.

THEY MUST KNOW
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

YOU KNOW
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

IT'S AS PLAIN AS DAYLIGHT
THAT SHE KILLED TED ARNOLD!

AH, SHE DON'T LOOK LIKE
THAT KIND OF A GIRL TO ME.

NOW, LISTEN, MIKE, THAT JUST SHOWS
HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT WOMEN.

I COULD TELL SHE WAS GUILTY THE
FIRST TIME I SET EYES ON HER.

MAYBE SO, BUT WHAT
ABOUT MONK SHELBY?

GOSH, BUT YOU'RE STUBBORN.

THAT'S THE FUNNIEST ALIBI
I EVER HEARD.

OH, YEAH? BUT NOBODY HAS PROVED
THAT HE WASN'T IN THE ROOM.

WELL, SHE AIN'T PROVED
THAT HE WAS.

I'VE GOT TO STOP
THINKING ABOUT IT.

I'VE GOT TO.

MAYBE I COULD BORROW
A DECK OF CARDS.

NO. THAT WOULDN'T HE-

NONE OF THAT,
YOUNG LADY!

DO THEY KEEP LUNATICS
IN THIS BUILDING, TOO?

NOT AS I KNOW OF. WHY?

LOOK.

WHAT'S HE DOING?

OH, HE'S TRYING TO MAKE
A DATE WITH YOU.

THE DARN FOOL.

YES. IT IS
PRICELESS, ISN'T IT?

HE DOESN'T REALIZE
WHO YOU ARE.

PROBABLY THINKS
YOU'RE A WITNESS.

WELL, LET HIM
THINK THAT.

WON'T DO ANY HARM,
ANYWAY.

MR. BAXTER.

I HOPE YOU'RE
NOT BEING BORED.

OH, NO, YOUR HONOR.
ON THE CONTRARY,

I FIND IT
MOST INTERESTING.

SECTION 354 OF THE CIVIL
PRACTICE ACT SAYS...

OK, YOU TWO.
THE JURY'S COMING IN.

COURT IS NOW IN SESSION.

BE SEATED.

GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY,
HAVE YOU REACHED A VERDICT?

WE HAVE, YOUR HONOR.

THE PRISONER WILL RISE.

"WE, THE JURY, FIND
THE DEFENDANT ANN GREY...

GUILTY OF MURDER
IN THE FIRST DEGREE."

Ann: BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!

I TELL YOU THAT I DID NOT
DO IT! I HAD ABSOLUTELY-

THERE HE IS, BOYS.

MR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
MAY I HAVE A PICTURE?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY THIS CASE YOURSELF?

AH, ONE AT A TIME, BOYS,
PLEASE.

DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNOR
WOULD LET A WOMAN BURN?

IS THERE A REASON
WHY HE SHOULDN'T?

THEN YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF
THE DEATH PENALTY FOR WOMEN?

MY PERSONAL OPINION
HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE INTERPRETATION
OF THE LAW.

AS LONG AS THE CRIME OF MURDER
CALLS FOR THE SUPREME PENALTY,

THE SEX OF THE OFFENDER
SHOULD CAUSE NO DISCRIMINATION.

VERDICT MAKES IT TOUGH,
DON'T IT?

I'LL SAY IT DOES.

IF THAT GIRL
TAKES THE RAP,

250 GRAND THAT BELONG
TO ME BURN WITH HER.

SMILEY. SMILEY, YOU COULD HAVE
KNOCKED ME DOWN WITH A FEATHER

WHEN I HEARD THAT VERDICT.

THE JURY HAD NO RIGHT TO CONVICT
ON THAT EVIDENCE.

IT WAS PURELY
CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

I'LL FILE A NOTICE OF APPEAL RIGHT AWAY.

I'M SURE I'LL GET HER OFF THE NEXT TIME.

I'M NOT UNDERWRITING
ANYTHING MORE, YOU FINK.

OH, BUT, CHIEF,
THAT ISN'T FAIR.

THIS HAS BEEN
A PLENTY TOUGH CASE,

AND I'M DOING
THE BEST I CAN.

YOUR BEST
ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

I GOT NO MORE USE FOR YOU,
HERMAN. YOU DON'T DELIVER.

OH, BUT, LISTEN, CHIEF
- YOU HEARD ME.

BUT I'D LIKE TO-
SCRAM.

WELL, THAT
WASHES HERMAN UP.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO GET
NOW TO HANDLE THE APPEAL?

NOBODY. FROM NOW,
I'LL HANDLE THIS MY WAY.

FAIR ENOUGH. NOW THAT
SHE KNOWS SHE'S COOKED,

MAYBE SHE'LL STOP
HOLDING OUT ON US, HUH?

WANT ME TO GO DOWN
TO THE COUNTY JAIL

AND HAVE A LITTLE
HEART-TO-HEART TALK WITH HER?

SHE'S NOT GOING BACK
TO THE COUNTY JAIL.

HI, JOE.

WANT A SMOKE?

AH, GUESS
I'M OUT.

GOT A MATCH, AL?

COME ON.

HEY, YOU!

WELL, HELLO.

SO YOU DECIDED TO KEEP
YOUR DATE AFTER ALL.

THAT'S SWELL.

NO. I-I MEAN, I-

YES. I INTENDED
TO KEEP IT ALL THE TIME.

WHERE'S SHE GO?

SHUT UP. 6-E...

DO HURRY, WON'T YOU?

HURRY? WHERE?

ANYWHERE.

WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE
A CAR LIKE THIS,

IT SEEMS A PITY NOT TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF IT, DOESN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT. I'M USED TO
GOING NO PLACE IN A HURRY.

Y- YOU DON'T NEED
TO GO TOO FAST.

YOU KNOW,
THERE ARE POLICEMEN.

WHERE'LL WE GO?
THE RITZ?

I DON'T THINK I LOOK
VERY PRESENTABLE.

COULD WE GO TO YOUR PLACE
AND LET ME TIDY UP A LITTLE?

WHY, OF COURSE.

WE'RE
PRACTICALLY THERE.

4727 HALL STREET.
A DISTURBANCE.

ATTENTION ALL CARS.
A GENERAL ALARM.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR ANN GREY.

CONVICTED OF MURDER
THIS AFTERNOON.

SHE ESCAPED
WHILE BEING TAKEN

FROM THE COURTHOUSE
TO THE COUNTY JAIL.

SHE'S 5'2" TALL, WEARING A BLUE 2
- PIECE SUIT WITH...

YEAH? YEAH? SURE I KNOW
WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

OK. I'LL BE WATCHING.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

I'LL SEE YOU AS SOON
AS I PARK THE CAR.

I'LL MEET YOU INSIDE.

ALL RIGHT.

HELLO, MAC.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MR. BAXTER.

HIYA, GERTIE.

HIDEY-HO,
MR. BAXTER.

OH, HERE YOU ARE.

OH, ISN'T MR. BAXTER THE ONE?

CLARK GABLE'S
NICE, TOO.

YOU WOMEN MAKE ME SICK.

DID YOU SEE THE DAME
WITH HIM?

YEAH, BUT I'VE SEEN HIM DO BETTER.

DID YOU EVER
SEE HER BEFORE?

SAY, ARE YOU THE HOUSE DICK, OR AM I?

HERE WE ARE.
COME RIGHT IN.

PEEDLES, CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS,
AND NO 2 WAYS ABOUT IT.

Peedles: YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, 2 OF PEEDLES' COCKTAILS

WILL MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE, UH- LIKE, UH-

LIKE THE MOON
IN THE MORNING MIST, SIR.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OH, LOOK AT ME.

IF YOU'LL STEP
RIGHT THIS WAY,

I'LL SHOW YOU THE BRUSH
AND COMB DEPARTMENT.

ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.

THERE IT IS. AND RIGHT HERE
IS THE SALON DE NECK-AND-EARS.

WHO IS THAT?

OH, THAT'S BETTY.

SHE'S PRETTY,
ISN'T SHE?

YEAH. I THINK SO.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND
EVERYTHING YOU NEED RIGHT HERE.

OH, MY GOODNESS! DO I
REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT?

YES, YOU LUCKY GIRL.

HA HA HA!

SAY, WHAT ABOUT DINNER? DELMONICO'S,
PIERRE'S, THE AMBASSADOR-

OH, NO, PLEASE.

OH, I MEAN, UH, I'M
SO SICK OF THOSE PLACES,

YOU KNOW,
AND EVERYBODY GOES THERE.

IT MAKES THEM SORT OF
COMMON, DOESN'T IT?

YOU KNOW WHAT I'D
REALLY LIKE TO DO? WHAT?

WELL, I THINK IT'D BE FUN IF WE HAD A
LITTLE SIMPLE DINNER HERE, DON'T YOU?

WELL, THAT'S AN IDEA.

PEEDLES!

DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR!

BUT WHY NOT?

WHAT'S IN HERE?

A BATHROOM.

OH.

WOULD YOU MIND
IF I TOOK A BATH?

NOT AT ALL.
HELP YOURSELF.

THANK YOU.

PEEDLES!

PEEDLES!

WHERE IN THE WORLD
IS THAT-

THANK YOU, SIR. I STEPPED INTO
THE HALLWAY FROM THE KITCHEN,

AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT.

Ann: YES?

SAY, IF YOU'LL
HAND ME YOUR CLOTHES,

I'LL HAVE PEEDLES
PRESS THEM.

HE'S VERY QUICK
AT THAT SORT OF THING.

WELL, UM...

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
JUST A MINUTE.

HI-HO.

ALL RIGHT.

PEEDLES!

COMING, SIR.

SPONGED AND PRESSED,
PEEDLES.

YOUR DELUXE JOB.

SHALL I TAKE THE LADY A COCKTAIL, SIR?

OH, NO. YOU SEE,
SHE'S TAKING A BATH.

A BATH, SIR?

WELL, IT'S
A NICE DAY FOR IT.

HERE YOU ARE, TOOTS.

THANKS, STEVE.

HOW MUCH ARE
YOUR TORO PERFECTOS?

10 CENTS.

3 FOR A QUARTER?

NO. 10 CENTS
STRAIGHT.

WELL, YOU CAN GET THEM ACROSS
THE STREET 3 FOR A QUARTER.

WHY DON'T YOU GET THEM THERE, THEN?

HA HA! I DO.

HEY. HEY, GIVE ME
YOUR PHONE.

GO USE
A PAY STATION.

GIVE ME YOUR PHONE!
COME ON. HURRY UP.

HELLO.
THIS IS SWEENEY.

GET ME POLICE HEADQUARTERS RIGHT AWAY.

HOW YOU DOING?

UM... OH, FINE.

TONY!

BETTY!

WELL, WHERE'D YOU
COME FROM?

I JUST FLEW IN FROM MIAMI.

I SUDDENLY REALIZED, DARLING, WE HADN'T
BEEN ENGAGED FOR THE LONGEST TIME,

AND I COULDN'T STAND IT
WITHOUT YOU ANOTHER MINUTE.

TONY, WE'RE ENGAGED AGAIN.

DO YOU REALLY
MEAN IT?

ABSOLUTELY.

HURRAY!

COME OVER HERE AND SIT DOWN AND
TELL ME ALL YOU'VE BEEN DOING

FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS.
DARLING, I'D LOVE TO,

BUT I WAS JUST GOING OUT
AS YOU CAME IN.

DO YOU USUALLY
GO OUT IN THAT?

SILLY, ISN'T IT?

JUST WHERE
WERE YOU GOING?

I- I WAS GOING TO SEE DEAR OLD ARTHUR
THORPE. YOU REMEMBER THE THORPES.

COME ON, DEAR. HERE WE GO.

WELL, WHAT'D YOU TAKE YOUR COAT OFF
FOR? WE HAVEN'T A MOMENT TO LOSE.

NO, DARLING.
I'LL STAY HERE.

I'M EXPECTING A CALL
FROM MOTHER.

WELL, I-

WHAT'S THAT?

I- I GUESS
THAT WAS PEEDLES.

YOU KNOW,
HE STAMPS ABOUT SO.

TONY, WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

OH, THAT'S MOTHER. TELL
HER WE'RE ENGAGED AGAIN.

HELLO, MOTHER.
WE'RE ENGAGED-

WHAT?

SWEENEY'S ON HIS WAY
UP TO YOUR APARTMENT

WITH A COUPLE OF CENTRAL
OFFICE DETECTIVES.

THEY'RE AFTER THE GIRL
YOU HAD WITH YOU.

OH.

WELL, UH, TELL HIM
TO COME RIGHT UP.

OH, DARLING, THAT WASN'T YOUR
MOTHER. IT WAS A CLIENT OF MINE.

HE WANTS TO SEE ME ABOUT
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.

WOULD YOU MIND WAITING IN
THAT OTHER ROOM, PLEASE?

YOU SEE,
IT'S VERY CONFIDENTIAL,

AND IT WON'T TAKE ME
BUT JUST A FEW MOMENTS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YES?

HEY, YOU'VE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

BUT I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE
DRESSED LIKE THIS.

WELL-

HERE. HIDE IN HERE.

YES, BUT MY SUIT-
MY SUIT-

PUT THESE ON. I'LL SEND PEEDLES
AROUND TO THE SERVICE DOOR

WITH YOUR THINGS LATER.

MR. BAXTER, THESE GENTLEMEN ARE FROM
HEADQUARTERS, AND THEY'RE LOOKING-

YES. I WAS
JUST GOING OUT.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD
COME BACK A LITTLE LATER.

YOU GOT A GIRL HERE?

DO YOU THINK
I'D BE GOING OUT

IF I HAD A GIRL
HERE?

YOU MIGHT.
DO YOU MIND IF WE LOOK?

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. DO YOU
REALIZE YOU'RE VIOLATING

THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
OF A CITIZEN?

A MAN'S HOME
IS HIS CASTLE.

YOU GOT A SEARCH
WARRANT?

SEARCH-

UH, A SEARCH WARRANT?

ARE YOU SURE YOU SAW
THE GIRL WITH HIM?

POSITIVE.
ONCE I SEE A FACE,

I NEVER FORGET IT.

OK. I'LL TAKE A CHANCE.

I WARN YOU, YOU'RE MAKING

A TERRIBLE
MISTAKE.

YEAH?

Sweeney:
THERE SHE IS!

COME ON, SISTER.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

Betty: TONY,
WHAT IS THIS?

WHY, YOU FATHEAD! THAT'S
NOT THE GIRL WE WANT.

Tony: OF COURSE
IT'S NOT.

Detective: I'M SORRY, MISS,
BUT THIS KEYHOLE SCHNAUZER

SAW YOU COME IN
WITH MR. BAXTER

AND THOUGHT YOU WERE SOMEBODY
ELSE. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Sweeney: BUT I'M POSITIVE
I SAW THE OTHER GIRL!

COME ON. LET'S GET HIM OUT
OF HERE BEFORE I CROWN HIM!

NOW, LISTEN, I-

COME ON!

WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.

I TOLD YOU
THE GIRL WAS HERE.

THESE ARE THE CLOTHES
SHE WAS WEARING.

WHERE DID YOU
GET THEM?

WHY, FROM HER.

WHAT'S HE DOING
WITH YOUR CLOTHES?

DON'T ANSWER.
YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS.

I'M HER ATTORNEY, AND I KNOW HER RIGHTS.

IT'S A STALL, I TELL YOU!
THE GIRL'S HERE!

WELL, WE'LL SOON
FIND OUT.

LOOK IN THOSE ROOMS.
COME ON, CHARLIE.

IT'S LIKE HUNTING
EASTER EGGS, ISN'T IT?

UH, THERE'S
NOBODY HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU LOOK WHAT
YOU'RE DOING, YOU FATHEAD?!

EXCUSE ME.

HEY.

MY MISTAKE.

Sweeney: MR. COLLINS,
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

YOU THINK? WHAT WITH?

AW, NOW, LISTEN TO ME.

WELL, YOU JUST GOT HER
OUT IN TIME, DIDN'T YOU?

OR IS SHE STILL HERE?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHERE'D YOU EVER GET SUCH
AN IDEA? OF COURSE NOT.

THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THE BLUE SUIT?

OH, THAT. WELL, PEEDLES BROUGHT
IT IN. YOU SAW HIM, DIDN'T YOU?

WHERE DID HE GET IT?

THAT'S WHAT I WANT
TO KNOW.

PEEDLES!

YES, SIR?

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF ALL
THIS? WHERE'D YOU GET THAT SUIT?

I'M SORRY, SIR. IT'S
THE CASANOVA IN ME.

I'M ASHAMED OF YOU,
PEEDLES.

YES, SIR.
THANK YOU, SIR.

THERE. YOU SEE? HA HA!

JUST SOME VULGAR INTRIGUE OF
PEEDLES'. QUITE BENEATH YOUR NOTICE.

NOW, ABOUT
OUR ENGAGEMENT PARTY-

YOU INVITE WHOMEVER YOU LIKE,
AND WE'LL ALL MEET HERE AT 9:00.

AND I'LL SEND PEEDLES ON
AHEAD TO OPEN THE BOATHOUSE,

AND WE'LL END UP THERE
FOR BREAKFAST. HOW'S THAT?

TONY BAXTER, YOU'RE
UP TO SOMETHING FUNNY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT, BUT IF IT'S WHAT
I THINK IT IS, IT BETTER NOT BE.

WHERE'S MY COAT?

YOUR COAT?
HMM. WHAT COAT?

THE COAT I WORE
WHEN I CAME IN.

OH, NO, DEAR.
YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN.

IF YOU'D HAVE WORN A COAT, I'D
CERTAINLY HAVE REMEMBERED IT.

I WANT MY COAT.

SHE WANTS HER COAT.

YOUR GARMENT, MISS.

I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF HANGING IT UP.

IN THE KITCHEN?

UH, YES, MISS.

THAT'S THE ONE PLACE THE MOTHS
WOULD NEVER THINK OF LOOKING FOR IT.

Tony: DARLING,
PLEASE!

DON'T FORGET-
9:00 SHARP, HERE!

YOU THINK WE FOOLED HER,
PEEDLES?

YOU HANDLED IT
MASTERFULLY, SIR.

WELL, I HOPE
YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT WAS KIND OF A DOUBLE
SHUFFLE FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW.

YES, SIR. A KIND OF
A BIRD IN THE HAND

AND ONE
IN THE, UH, PANTRY,

AS YOU MIGHT SAY,
SIR.

MAY I COME IN?

OH. ARE YOU STILL HERE?

YES. IT WAS NICE OF YOU
TO SAVE ME FROM THE POLICE.

SAY, WHAT DID THEY
WANT YOU FOR?

DOES IT MATTER? IS THERE
A BACK STAIRWAY HERE?

YES, BUT WAIT A MINUTE.

I'M AN ATTORNEY. I MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.

NO. I'M AFRAID NOT.

I THOUGHT YOUR FACE
WAS FAMILIAR.

YOU'RE ANN GREY.

WHEN SHE BUMPED ME,
I HAD NO IDEA,

AND THEN I SEEN
HER PICTURE IN THE PAPER.

I RECOGNIZED HER,
JUST LIKE THAT.

ARE YOU SURE

IT WAS AN IMPERIAL 16 SHE JUMPED INTO?

YES, SIR. POSITIVE.

DID YOU GET THE NUMBER OF THE CAR?

NO, SIR, I DIDN'T. YOU SEE,
I DIDN'T SUSPECT ANYTHING.

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAD
ON NEW YORK LICENSE PLATES.

THAT'S ALL,
MR. SNYDER.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN.

IMPERIAL 16s. THEY'RE
SPECIAL JOBS, AREN'T THEY?

YES, SIR. THEY ONLY
TURN OUT 400 A YEAR.

THEN I'LL BET THERE AREN'T 50
OF THEM IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

THAT'S RIGHT.

GET THE LICENSE BUREAU.

I WANT THE NAME
OF THE OWNER

OF EVERY IMPERIAL 16
IN THE CITY,

AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE EVERY IMPERIAL
16 WAS AT QUARTER PAST 4:00 TODAY.

TED ARNOLD WAS TERRIBLY
AFRAID OF SOMETHING.

HE WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT.

ABOUT 9:00, THERE
WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

WHEN I WENT TO ANSWER IT,
THERE WAS MONK SHELBY.

BEFORE I COULD SPEAK TO HIM, I HEARD A
SHOT, AND I RUSHED INTO THE NEXT ROOM,

AND THERE LAY TED
IN A HEAP ON THE FLOOR.

I SCREAMED TO MONK
TO GET A DOCTOR,

BUT HE'D DISAPPEARED, AND NOBODY'S
BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIM SINCE.

HOW'D YOU EVER GET MIXED UP
WITH THAT KIND OF A CROWD?

OH, LIKE A MILLION OTHER GIRLS,
I CAME HERE FULL OF HIGH HOPES,

THINKING I COULD CONQUER
NEW YORK OVERNIGHT.

AS YOU KNOW, I MADE
A MISERABLE FAILURE OF IT,

AND WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND
MOST, TED CAME TO MY RESCUE.

SO WHEN HE WAS IN TROUBLE AND
CAME TO ME, WHAT COULD I DO?

WELL, YOU'D HAVE SAVED
YOURSELF A LOT OF GRIEF

IF YOU'D CALLED
THE POLICE.

WOULD YOU HAVE
DONE THAT?

WHY, YES. HE WAS TAKING
AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OF YOU.

Tony: I'VE GOT IT.

HELLO?

YES, THIS IS BAXTER.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER?

WE GOT THE NUMBER OF YOUR CAR
WHEN YOU PICKED HER UP.

YEAH. SHE'S
A FRIEND OF OURS.

I GUESS YOU'D
JUST AS SOON

GET HER OFF YOUR HANDS,
WOULDN'T YOU?

WHO IS THIS?

HE SAYS
IT'S MONK SHELBY.

MONK SHELBY?
LET ME SPEAK TO HIM.

WAIT A MINUTE. ARE YOU
SURE YOU'D KNOW HIS VOICE?

YES, YES.
GIVE IT TO ME.

HELLO? HELLO, MONK.

WELL, WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I HAD TO LAY LOW.
YEAH. THEY'RE AFTER ME, TOO.

YEAH, BUT I CAN
FIX IT NOW.

NO, NOT OVER THE PHONE.

HELLO. SHELBY? YOU ON
THE LEVEL WITH THIS GIRL?

YOU WANT
TO HELP HER?

SURE, I CAN HELP HER.
I CAN FIX IT, I TELL YOU.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU GO ON UP
PAST REED'S CORNER.

YES?

YES, OF COURSE I KNOW WHERE
IT IS, BUT WHY DON'T YOU-

HELLO?

HELLO?

I WAS TRYING TO TELL HIM
TO COME AROUND

TO MY OFFICE IN THE MORNING,
AND HE HUNG UP ON ME.

IN THE MORNING?
BUT WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S WAY UP IN
THE COUNTRY SOMEWHERE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ME. JUST TELL
ME WHERE IT IS. I'LL GET THERE SOMEHOW.

MY ADVICE IS THAT WE
CALL THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

AND HAVE HIM
PICK THIS SHELBY UP.

AND FRIGHTEN HIM AWAY AGAIN?
BUT DON'T YOU SEE THAT I-

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I'LL
JUST ABOUT HAVE TIME IF I HURRY.

PEEDLES!

PEEDLES, SHAKE A LEG!

A LEG, SIR?
CERTAINLY, SIR.

GET MY COUPE AND PUT IT IN
THE ALLEY BEHIND THE HOTEL.

INSTANTLY, SIR.

AND THEN GO
TO THE BOATHOUSE

AND STAND BY
FOR MERRYMAKERS.

I'LL GIVE YOU A LIST
OF WHAT YOU'LL NEED.

YES, SIR. I'LL BE WITH
YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.

NOW, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I WANT YOU TO GET THIS RIGHT.

I'M EXPECTING A LOT
OF PEOPLE DOWN THERE.

WE'RE TO HAVE 3 OR 4
CASES OF CHAMPAGNE...

ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
ON YOUR WAY.

YOU'RE THE RECEPTION
COMMITTEE, ONLY REMEMBER THIS-

THE GIRL DOESN'T GET HURT,
NOT TILL AFTER SHE TALKS.

AND TAKE THIS MUG
ALONG WITH YOU

AND DROP HIM ON THE ROAD SOMEPLACE.

NO! NO, SMILEY!
PLEASE!

YOU PROMISED!

NO! NO! LET ME GO!

BETTY GETS WIND OF THIS,

I MAY AS WELL START NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE FOREIGN LEGION.

DON'T YOU THINK
SHE'LL UNDERSTAND?

BETTY UNDERSTAND? SAY,
SHE BREAKS ENGAGEMENTS

THE WAY SOME PEOPLE
BREAK FINGERNAILS.

THIS MUST BE IT.

HEY, JOE, THEY'RE HERE.

WELL...
HERE YOU ARE.

GOOD-BYE.
AND THANK YOU.

THANKS, BUDDY, FOR BRINGING HER
OUT. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HER NOW.

SAY, JUST A MINUTE.

ARE YOU MONK SHELBY?

NO. MONK'S
IN THE HOUSE.

WELL, I'D LIKE A WORD
WITH HIM IF YOU DON'T MIND.

HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY,

BUT YOU BETTER PUT
THE CAR IN THE BARN

SO IT WON'T BE SEEN
FROM THE ROAD.

I LIKE IT ALL RIGHT
OUT HERE.

I SAID DRIVE
IN THE BARN.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, REACH
FOR THE CEILING.

COME ON. GET OUT.

DUCK!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?!
WHAT'S HAPPENED?!

THEY'VE GOTTEN AWAY!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES.

SAY, LEVEL HER OFF,
WILL YOU?

JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SHOT
AT THAT GUY.

I'M LEVELING. WAIT TILL
WE GET AROUND THIS TURN.

THEY'RE FOLLOWING US!

WELL, WE'LL GIVE THEM A RUN FOR IT.

THEY'RE GETTING AWAY! COME
ON, COME ON! STOP CRAWLING!

STEP ON IT!

THEY'VE SHOT A HOLE
THROUGH OUR GAS TANK.

OH.

HANG ON!

COME ON, COME ON, WILL
YOU? THEY'RE OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

COME ON, ANN.

OH...

THAT'S
ALL RIGHT.

HERE WE ARE.
NOW...

TOO HEAVY?

NO.

YOU KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE A GUARDIAN.
I'M JUST A BABE IN THE WOODS.

I'M JUST THINKING
OF A LOT OF THINGS

I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF
BEFORE WE STARTED.

THIS WHOLE THING
SOUNDS PHONY.

OH, BUT IT ISN'T. EVERY WORD
I'VE TOLD YOU IS THE TRUTH.

NO. I DON'T MEAN YOU. I MEAN
THOSE SO-CALLED FRIENDS OF YOURS.

THEY DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN
TO SEE YOU ESCAPE.

MONK SHELBY AND HIS GANG MUST
HAVE PLANNED THIS WHOLE THING.

MONK SHELBY HAS NO GANG.

HE'S JUST A SMALL-TIME
RACKETEER AND A STOOL PIGEON.

WELL, THEN HE MUST BE
WORKING FOR SOMEONE

WHO WANTS YOU OUT OF JAIL
PRETTY BADLY.

YES, BUT WHO?

WELL, IF WE KNEW THAT,
IT'D BE EASY.

AH, THEY MUST HAVE
TURNED OFF THE HIGHWAY.

NO, THEY DIDN'T. I GOT
A FLASH OF THE HEADLIGHTS

AFTER WE PASSED
THE HIGHWAY.

AH, YOU'D BETTER
TURN AROUND AND GO BACK.

THAT'S IT, ANDY.
TURN ROUND.

THERE'S NOTHING
THEY COULD GAIN FROM ME.

HMM. IT'S TOO DEEP.

HMM. RAIN. THAT'S ALL I NEED
TO MAKE OUR DAY COMPLETE.

OH, LOOK!

OOH!

OOH, WHAT A NIGHT!
ARE YOU SOAKED?

NO. I'M JUST A LITTLE
DAMP AROUND THE EDGES.

OH.

OH!

SAY, IF I CAN GET
TO THAT PHONE,

WE'LL HAVE PEEDLES COME OUT
AND PICK US UP.

YEAH.

HEY! WHAT-HO!

WELL, I'VE DONE EVERYTHING ELSE
TONIGHT. HERE GOES ILLEGAL ENTRY.

HEY!

MY GOODNESS,
WHAT'S HAPPENED?

DID YOU HURT
YOURSELF?

NO. I'M ALL RIGHT.
SHUT THE DOOR.

OH, YES.

OH, A LANTERN.
THIS'LL BE BETTER.

HERE WE ARE.

IS IT LIGHTED?

OH, HERE IT IS.

Tony: HUNDRED TO ONE YOU
HAVEN'T GOT A NICKEL. NO.

WELL, MAYBE I CAN GET THE
OPERATOR ANYWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED.

HELLO?

HELLO!

HELLO, OPERATOR!

AH, COME ON, TELEPHONE.
GIVE OUT.

SAY, THERE'S AN IDEA.

NOT EVEN A HAIRPIN.

HAVE YOU A HAIRPIN?

I DON'T USE THEM.

SAY, ARE YOU HUNGRY?

NO. I HAD A CUP OF COFFEE
IN MY CELL THIS MORNING.

WELL, MAYBE I'LL BLOW
YOU TO DINNER AFTER ALL.

HERE, YOU LIGHT THIS
GRIDDLE WHILE I FORAGE.

ALL RIGHT.

MATCHBOX.

FEELS GOOD.

HERE. TAKE A LITTLE OF THIS
APPLE CIDER. IT MAY HELP.

THANK YOU.

HERE WE HAVE 4 HAMBURGERS, 4 HAMBURGERS,

AND 4 HAMBURGERS.
WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?

UH, 4 HAMBURGERS.

4 HAMBURGERS IT IS.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO DO THAT?

CERTAINLY NOT.

WELL, I THINK THEY MIGHT TASTE
BETTER IF YOU TOOK THE PAPER OFF.

YEAH. 4 HAMBURGERS
AND 4 BUNS.

LOOKS LIKE THE GUY
THAT RUNS THIS PLACE

MUST BE A PRETTY
CLOSE BUYER.

DON'T EAT THOSE. YOU'LL
SPOIL YOUR DINNER.

YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET INVOLVED
ANY FURTHER. IT'S NOT FAIR TO YOU.

IT'S A LITTLE LATE
FOR THAT, ISN'T IT?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GO ON ALONE?

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE.
YOU'LL FIND A FARMHOUSE SOMEWHERE,

AND THEY'LL BE GLAD
TO TAKE YOU INTO TOWN.

YOU THINK I'D RUN OUT ON
YOU IN A SPOT LIKE THIS?

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT ME.
I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO?

I'M GOING TO GO BACK
TO THAT FARMHOUSE,

AND I'M GOING TO FIND
MONK SHELBY.

I'LL SHOW THEM.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT IS THAT
YOU'RE DRINKING?

SAY, THAT'S NOT CIDER.
IT'S APPLEJACK.

I DON'T CARE
IF IT'S VINEGAR.

I'M GOING TO GO, AND I'M GOING TO
CLEAN OUT THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CAR THAT WAS
FOLLOWING US. GET IN HERE, QUICK.

HURRY UP.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED IF
YOU'D HAVE KEPT YOUR EYES OPEN.

OH, YEAH? WHAT WERE YOU
USING YOUR EYES FOR?

OK, BOYS. TAKE IT EASY. THEY
CAN'T GET VERY FAR WALKING.

GOOD EVENING, GENTS.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT?
WHERE'S THE PHONE?

RHINELANDER 64222.

SAY, AIN'T I
SEEN YOU SOMEPLACE?

WHO, ME? NO. I AIN'T
NEVER BEEN NO PLACE.

BEEN HERE FOR 3 YEARS,
MAN AND BOY.

I WOULDN'T SELL THE PLACE
FOR LOVE NOR MONEY.

HELLO. 4222?

ANYBODY THERE WANT
TO TALK TO JOE?

HAD ANY CUSTOMERS
THIS EVENING?

OH, A FEW.

HIRAM HOFSTETTER WAS IN
A WHILE BACK.

SEE ANYBODY YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
FELLER AND A GIRL ON FOOT.

WELL, NO, I HAVEN'T,

BUT MAYBE MY WIFE DID.

ALICE?

YOU SEEN ANYTHING OF A YOUNG
FELLA AND A GIRL ON FOOT?

SHUCKS, NO.

YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I DO

THERE AIN'T BEEN NOBODY HERE FOR HOURS.

LOCK UP SO WE
CAN GO HOME!

ALL RIGHT. IN A MINUTE.

DO YOU HEAR THEM HICCUPS?

SHE'S GOT A WEAK STOMACH.

MAKES HER-MAKES HER
SORT OF CRANKY.

HELLO?
YEAH, THIS IS JOE.

WE MISSED.

THEY RUN OUT ON US.

YEAH, WE FOUND
THEIR CAR.

IT'S IN A DITCH.

YEAH. IT WAS THE GUY THAT
COME OUT WITH HER. HE GOT WISE.

BUT I GOT A GENERAL IDEA
OF WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

AND I'LL TAKE
GOOD CARE OF HIM, TOO.

HE WON'T MEDDLE
IN NOBODY'S BUSINESS AGAIN.

OK, OK. I THOUGHT
YOU'D WANT TO KNOW.

HEY, YOU.
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

HAMBURGERS.

MMM. SMELLS GOOD.
GIVE US 3 OF THEM.

HOW MUCH?

30 CENTS.

AIN'T YOU GOT NOTHING SMALLER THAN
50 CENTS? I AIN'T GOT NO CHANGE.

HERE. I GOT IT. NEVER MIND, NEVER MIND.

JUST GIVE US THE OTHER HAMBURGER,

AND YOU CAN KEEP THE EXTRA DIME.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
LET'S GO.

COME ON IN, WIFEY.

DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT NUMBER BEFORE
- RHINELANDER 64222?

NOPE. THOSE WERE THE MEN
THAT SHOT AT US, WEREN'T THEY?

YES. I COULD FORGIVE
THEM FOR THAT,

BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET OUR HAMBURGERS.

YES, SIR. I DID WANT THOSE HAMBURGERS.

HERE-YOU'VE HAD
ENOUGH OF THAT.

LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.

SAY, HERE'S $20 FOR THAT DOLLAR
WE BROKE FROM THE APPLEJACK.

YOU KNOW I'VE GOT AN IDEA. WHAT?

WELL, IF I COULD GET
YOU BACK TO MY BOATHOUSE,

YOU'D BE SAFE
AT THE BOAT

UNTIL WE FIGURE THE
WAY OUT OF THIS THING.

Man: PUT UP YOUR HANDS.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M THE CONSTABLE
OF THIS TOWNSHIP.

YOU'RE BOTH
UNDER ARREST...

YES, BUT HE HASN'T
DONE ANYTHING.

FOR BREAKING AND
ENTERING MA PURDY'S STAND.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, OFFICER.
WE HAVEN'T HURT ANYTHING.

UH, MY WIFE AND I
WERE JUST, UH, HIKING,

AND WE CAME IN HERE
TO GET OUT OF THE RAIN.

YOU'RE STILL
TRESPASSING,

AND THE LOCK'S
BROKEN.

OH, WELL, I PUT $20 IN THE
CASH REGISTER TO PAY FOR THAT,

BUT IF IT
ISN'T ENOUGH-

I AIN'T GOT NO AUTHORITY
TO TAKE ANY MONEY.

YOU CAN SETTLE THAT WITH
THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

IN THE MORNING.

AND DON'T YOU TRY
TO BRIBE ME NEITHER.

APPLEJACK, HUH?

SUPPOSE YOU BEEN
STEALING THAT.

WELL, OFFICER, IF YOU'D BEEN
WANDERING AROUND THE RAIN ALL NIGHT

AND YOU'D FOUND SOME
APPLEJACK, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

YOU LOOK A LITTLE
WET YOURSELF, OFFICER.

WHY DON'T YOU
HAVE A LITTLE DRINK?

MAYBE I WILL.

IT'S LIKELY THE STUFF
TO KEEP OFF A COLD.

WHOOSH.

THAT'S DARN
GOOD APPLE.

MA PURDY HAS BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME.

HERE, HERE, LET ME
GIVE YOU SOME MORE.

JUST AS A PRECAUTION.

LET'S ALL HAVE
A LITTLE DRINK.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH, DEAR?

EUSTACE, DO YOU WANT ME
TO CATCH PNEUMONIA?

GO ON, YOUNG FELLA. POOR
THE LITTLE WIFE A DRINK.

WELL...

HERE'S DOWN
THE HATCH.

DOWN THE HATCH.

SAY,
THIS IS ALL RIGHT.

I, UH, GUESS YOU FOLKS AIN'T
IN ANY HURRY TO GO TO JAIL.

I AIN'T IN ANY HURRY TO TAKE YOU-

UH, NOT IN THIS
RAIN, NOHOW.

BUT NO
HOCUS-POCUSING,

AND YOU KEEP AWAY
FROM THAT DOOR.

OH, WE WOULDN'T
DO ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T MIND IF I
PUT ON MY COAT, DO YOU?

GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD.

I KNEW YOU HAD A TENDER HEART, OFFICER.

WON'T YOU LET ME
FILL YOUR GLASS UP?

YES, MA'AM.

A TENDER HEART
AND A...

AN EYE FOR
A PRETTY FACE.

Officer: "YOU RATS,"
I SAID, "ALL 6 OF YOU,

DROP THEM MACHINE GUNS
AND PUT UP YOUR HANDS."

WELL...

WHEN THEM RATS SEEN
WHO WAS TALKING TO THEM,

THEY JUST...

COWARD
LIKE RATS.

I THINK THAT
IS WONDERFUL.

MAGNIFICENT.

UH, THEN
WHAT HAPPENED?

I TOLD THE GIRL I WAS MARRIED,
AND IT BROKE HER HEART.

AW, THAT'S TOO BAD.

IT'S A SHAME.

A DRINK?

THANKS.

How do you feel?

I feel splendid.

Well, keep your chin
up. It won't be long now.

HAPPY DAYS!

OH, HAPPY DAYS.

Look. The constable
has passed out.

He seems to be
done to a turn.

Hey, let's get
out of here.

But how?

In his car.

You mean,
you'll drive?

Certainly.

Yeah.

Shh.

HUH?

ALL RIGHT, DEAR. I'LL
BE THERE IN A MINUTE.

YEAH. I THINK
IT WAS VERY CLEVER.

WHAT WAS?

EVERYTHING.

NICE, CLEVER TONY.

ARE YOU STILL COLD?

NOW, DON'T
MISTAKE THAT.

I'M STILL ENGAGED
TO BETTY.

IT'S JUST THE KISS
OF A BIG BROTHER.

AND THAT'S JUST THE
KISS OF A LITTLE SISTER.

IS THAT THE WAY A LITTLE SISTER KISSES?

I DON'T KNOW. I NEVER
HAD A LITTLE SISTER.

NEITHER DID I.

CONSTABLE'S CAR DOESN'T SEEM
TO STEER VERY WELL, DOES IT?

NO.

LET'S SPELL MY
INITIALS WITH IT.

A, N, N...

Man: HELLO? HELLO?

WHAT?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU?

THAT'S IT.

YOU LIKE THAT ONE?

WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

OH...

NO, NO,
HE ISN'T HERE.

IS THAT TONY?

NO. AS NEAR AS
I CAN FIGURE OUT

IT'S THE CLERK
AT THE DESK.

SAYS THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS
DON'T LIKE STEVE'S DANCING.

TELL THEM TO MOVE IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

TELL THEM TO MOVE
IF THEY DON'T LIKE.

GIVE ME
THAT PHONE.

Steve: LET'S HAVE A
LITTLE OF THAT HOT MUSIC...

HELLO, PEEDLES.
IS MR. BAXTER THERE?

NO, MISS RANDOLPH.
NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

OH, NOW THAT
I THINK OF IT,

HE SAID THIS MORNING THAT
HE MIGHT BE GOING AWAY.

WHERE?

HE HAD SEVERAL
PLACES IN MIND-

BERMUDA, ALASKA,
MONTREAL,

AND HE SPOKE
QUITE FAVORABLY

OF THE GRAND CANYON
IN ARIZONA.

VERY WELL, MISS.
I'LL TELL HIM.

COME ON, NOW. WHERE WAS THAT ROADSTER

AT 4:15 TODAY?

I WAS USING IT TO DO THE MARKETING-

OR WAS THAT
4:15 YESTERDAY?

THEN AGAIN,
YOU KNOW...

IT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN THE OTHER CAR.

SAY, FELLA, HOW ABOUT
TRYING TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND?

NOW, LET ME SEE.

I REMEMBER I HAD
A FINE FAT DUCK,

6 EARS OF SWEET ROASTING
CORN, A HONEYDEW MELON,

LARGE PACKAGE
OF SOAP CHIPS, AND-

OK. OK.

YES, SIR.
THANK YOU, SIR.

Man: WELL, IS HE COMING OR ISN'T HE?

YES, SIR.
NO, SIR.

THAT IS,
I'M NOT SURE, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

UH, I THINK SO, SIR, FROM INDICATIONS.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

OUR TROUBLES ARE OVER
FOR A WHILE, I HOPE.

I HOPE SO.

WE GOT
TO CHECK-IN

OR THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR US, TOO.

DON'T YOU THINK I OUGHT TO
STAY HERE IN CASE HE SHOWS UP?

NONE OF THAT. CASEY TOLD US TO BE BACK-

BOTH OF US.

WELL, OF COURSE, GENTLEMEN,
I DON'T KNOW WHO CASEY IS,

BUT I SUPPOSE IF
HE TOLD YOU TO BE BACK,

WELL, THEN,
YOU BETTER BE BACK.

GOOD NIGHT, GENTLEMEN.

HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG
IDEA, PEEDLES,

YOU TRYING TO GAIN A MUSICAL
EDUCATION BY SHEER FORCE?

NO, SIR.

WE COULD HEAR THAT RACKET
WAY OUT IN THE CHANNEL.

YES, SIR. I HEARD YOU, TOO, SIR.

THAT'S WHY
I TURNED IT UP.

WELL, IT'S NICE OF YOU
TO GIVE US AN ENTRANCE.

ONLY NEXT TIME, JUST SHOOT OFF
A CANNON. IT'S LESS OSTENTATIOUS.

AND PEEDLES I-

DON'T LOOK
SO STARTLED.

YOU'VE SEEN
MISS GREY BEFORE.

YES, SIR. THAT'S
JUST IT SIR, I-

WELL, UH, MISS GREY WOULD
ENJOY A POT OF VERY FRESH,

VERY HOT COFFEE.

YES, SIR,
BUT THAT IS-

WELL, THEN, RUN ALONG AND FETCH IT.

HURRY UP.
HURRY UP.

YES, SIR.

WHERE DID YOU
GET THIS?

FROM THE DESK
IN YOUR APARTMENT.

YOU HAD IT IN YOUR
POCKET ALL THE TIME?

WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE IT TO ME
WHEN THAT GANG WAS CHASING US?

I DIDN'T
THINK OF IT.

BESIDES, I WOULDN'T HAVE
LET YOU USE IT ANYWAY.

WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING IT AROUND FOR?

BECAUSE I MADE MYSELF
A PROMISE-

THAT I'D NEVER LET THEM
TAKE ME BACK TO THAT JAIL.

OH, I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.
THAT'S A QUITTER'S WAY OUT.

AFTER ALL, THERE'S STILL
MONK SHELBY TO FIND.

POLICE COULDN'T FIND
HIM AND NEITHER COULD WE.

WELL, YOU KNOW,
I HAVE A HUNCH THAT

THAT TELEPHONE NUMBER WILL
TELL US A LOT OF THINGS

THE POLICE
DON'T KNOW.

WHAT TELEPHONE NUMBER?

RHINELANDER 64222. NOW,
YOU COME ALONG WITH ME.

TAKE IT EASY.

I'LL BE BACK
IN A LITTLE WHILE.

OH, SAY,
IF YOU'RE STILL DAMP,

YOU'LL FIND SOME THINGS
IN THE CLOSET THERE

YOU CAN WEAR UNTIL
YOUR CLOTHES DRY OUT.

ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.

GOOD-BYE.
BYE.

Psst. Psst.

Mr. Baxter.

SAY, WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

I THOUGHT YOU'D
WANT TO KNOW, SIR.

THE POLICE
WERE HERE.

LOOKING FOR
MISS GREY?

NOT EXACTLY, SIR. THEY WERE
CONCERNED OVER THE WHEREABOUTS

OF THE ROADSTER. MISS
GREY WAS NOT MENTIONED.

OH, WOW.

OH, AND MISS BETTY CALLED,
SIR-TWICE FROM THE APARTMENT.

SHE WAS NOT PLEASED.

OH. WELL, IF SHE CALLS AGAIN,
TELL HER I'M ON MY WAY THERE.

IF THE POLICE COME BACK, TELL
THEM I'VE GONE TO MY APARTMENT.

I'LL COME BACK AS SOON AS I
EXPLAIN THINGS TO MISS BETTY.

YES, SIR.

OH, MR. BAXTER, HERE'S THE
LOCATION OF THAT NUMBER YOU WANTED.

IT'S A PAY PHONE
IN THE SHOW BOAT CAFE.

HMM.
THANKS VERY MUCH.

HELLO, BAXTER.

OH, HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU?

GOT A MOMENT
TO SPARE?

NO. I'M SORRY
I HAVEN'T JUST NOW.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WANTED TO SEE YOU, AND
I'D HATE TO DISAPPOINT HIM.

D.A. IS A PERSONAL
FRIEND OF MINE.

I'LL DROP AROUND AND
SEE HIM IN THE MORNING.

NO, YOU WON'T. YOU'RE
RIDING WITH US NOW.

IS THIS AN ARREST?

FIGURE IT OUT
ON THE WAY DOWN.

HERE WE ARE, MISS.

MUST BE A GREAT PLEASURE, PEEDLES
- WORKING FOR MR. BAXTER.

PLEASURE, MISS?
IT'S A PRIVILEGE.

HE HAS THE GOLDEN
HEART OF A LITTLE CHILD.

YES.
HE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON.

I DIDN'T REALIZE I-

I HOPE I DIDN'T GET HIM INTO
ANY TROUBLE ON MY ACCOUNT.

TROUBLE, MISS? HE ENJOYS
IT. THAT'S HIS NATURE-

INTERESTED
IN HUMANITY.

WHY, I'VE KNOWN HIM STOP AND
BUY A BIT OF LIVER SPECIAL

FOR A STRAY CAT.

SO HE'S INTERESTED
IN STRAY CATS, IS HE?

CATS, DOGS, ALLIGATORS,
TROPICAL FISH-

OH, HE'S A GREAT ONE
FOR PETS, MR. BAXTER IS.

YOU KNOW, ONCE WE
HAD A TRAINED BEAR.

UH, YOU POP
IN HERE, MISS.

IT'S THOSE
TROOPERS AGAIN.

OOH.

I SHALL HAVE TO SPREAD FLEAS ACROSS
THEIR TRAIL, IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.

OH, MISS RANDOLPH,
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.

WHY CAN'T I?

W- W-WELL,
I'M ALL ALONE.

UH, THAT IS,
MR. BAXTER ISN'T HERE.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. I'LL
WAIT TILL HE GETS HERE.

OH, BUT THAT'LL BE
PRACTICALLY TEDIOUS, MISS.

HE MENTIONED
SOMETHING ABOUT

SPENDING THE NIGHT
IN A TURKISH BATH.

PEEDLES, YOU'RE
AN UNMITIGATED LIAR.

TONY BAXTER NEVER TOOK
A TURKISH BATH IN HIS LIFE.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE.

THERE'S A WOMAN
IN THIS HOUSE.

IF I MAY SAY SO,
MISS,

A VERY CHARMING ONE
SINCE YOU CAME IN.

OH, MISS RANDOLPH. THIS
IS MY COUSIN, MARIGOLD.

HOW DO YOU DO?

WE WERE JUST HAVING A BIT OF A CHAT.

YOUR COUSIN MARIGOLD, MY
AUNT EMILY. GET OUT OF HERE.

VERY GOOD, MISS.

I'M BETTY RANDOLPH,
MR. BAXTER'S FIANCEE.

YES. I KNOW.

I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM MY
SUSPICIONS THAT HE WAS CARRYING ON-

OH, BUT YOU'RE WRONG. YOU'RE WRONG.

MR. BAXTER WAS JUST
TRYING TO HELP ME.

OH, I SEE. I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL ME YOU'RE JUST A CLIENT.

YES. YES, IT WAS A-
A LEGAL MATTER.

JUST WHAT LEGAL MATTER
REQUIRES YOU TO APPEAR

IN TONY'S BEDROOM
AT MIDNIGHT

IN A DRESSING GOWN
I GAVE HIM.

I, UH, I ADMIT IT DOES
LOOK STRANGE, MISS RANDOLPH,

BUT IT WASN'T
MR. BAXTER'S FAULT.

IT WAS ALL VERY HURRIED,
AND HE'S BEEN TRYING

TO GET YOU ALL EVENING ON THE TELEPHONE.

HOW VERY CONSIDERATE
OF HIM.

OH, BUT, PLEASE.
PLEASE, MISS RANDOLPH...

YOU MUST NOT LEAVE,
BELIEVING AS YOU DO.

IT ISN'T FAIR
TO MR. BAXTER

OR TO YOURSELF.

MISS RANDOLPH...

I'M ANN GREY.

ANN GREY,
THE GIRL WHO SHOT-

BUT I DIDN'T.

AND MR. BAXTER
KNOWS I DIDN'T.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

DO YOU SEE?

HELLO.

OH, IT'S YOU,
MR. BAXTER.

I'M EXPECTING MISS RANDOLPH.
SHE'LL BE THERE ANY MINUTE,

AND SHE'D BE VERY UPSET
TO FIND THINGS AS THEY ARE.

SO, UH, GET THE PLACE CLEANED UP AS
QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. YOU UNDERSTAND?

A LITTLE TOO LATE
TO COVER UP, TONY.

I'M HERE, AND I'VE
SEEN EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND
OF A FOOL YOU TAKE ME FOR-

BETTY...

PLEASE.

I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

THE SITUATION DOESN'T NEED ANY
EXPLAINING. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS.

AND DON'T TELL ME YOUR
INTEREST IS PURELY PROFESSIONAL

BECAUSE YOU NEVER
HANDLE CRIMINAL CASES.

AND IF SHE WASN'T
SO CHEAPLY PRETTY,

YOU WOULDN'T BE
HANDLING THIS ONE.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GIVE YOU EXACTLY
15 MINUTES TO GET OUT HERE.

PLEASE WAIT FOR ME. I'LL BE
THERE AS QUICKLY AS I CAN.

I'M IN THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

YOU REMEMBER MARTIN?
HE'S AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.

HE WANTS ME TO HELP HIM OUT
ON A VERY IMPORTANT CASE.

I- I CAN'T LET HIM DOWN.

YOU JUST DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO
HELPING OTHER PEOPLE, DON'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE
TRUTH, YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED?

WELL...

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OH, BUT
IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I'LL GIVE YOU A CHOICE, TONY,
EITHER YOU SURRENDER THIS GIRL

AND GET YOURSELF
OUT OF THIS MESS,

OR I'M GOING
BACK TO MIAMI.

BETTY!

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.
TELL THE D.A. I'LL BE BACK.

SUPPOSE YOU TELL
HIM THAT YOURSELF.

SORRY TO HAVE
KEPT YOU WAITING.

WHAT'S THE IDEA OF GETTING
ME DOWN HERE AT THIS HOUR?

CAN'T YOU GUESS?
NO.

COLLINS TELLS ME YOU WERE ENTERTAINING

A LADY IN YOUR APARTMENT THIS AFTERNOON.

WHO WAS SHE?

WHY DON'T YOU ASK COLLINS?
HE HAD A GOOD LOOK.

VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THE
LADIES, AREN'T YOU, BAXTER?

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

IT'S A TRADE SECRET.

WELL, I SUPPOSE THOSE
SNAPPY CARS YOU DRIVE

HAVE SOMETHING
TO DO WITH IT.

YEAH, THEY HELP.

GOT THEM INSURED?

CERTAINLY.

THAT'S GOOD

BECAUSE IT'S GONNA COST
YOU PLENTY TO FIX UP

THE BULLETS IN THAT
COUPE' OF YOURS.

WHAT BULLET HOLES?

DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A MAN
NAMED MONK SHELBY EITHER, DO YOU?

NO. WHAT ABOUT HIM?

YOU DON'T KNOW HE
WAS FOUND IN A DITCH

A MILE FROM YOUR CAR WITH
8 BULLET HOLES IN HIM?

YOU'RE IN A SPOT, BAXTER.
WHERE DID YOU HIDE ANN GREY?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING-

OH, COME NOW. WE KNOW
THAT YOU DROVE HER OUT

IN THE COUNTRY AND
HID HER SOMEWHERE.

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME
OF AIDING A FUGITIVE?

YES. WHERE IS SHE?

NOW, LOOK HERE, MARTIN.
YOU CAN'T BLUFF ME.

I'M NOT SOME HOBO YOU
PICKED UP OFF THE STREET

JUST BECAUSE YOU FOUND MY CAR
AND SOME RACKETEER ALL SHOT UP,

THERE'S NO REASON FOR
TYING ANN GREY TO ME.

NO, MAYBE NOT.

BUT IF WE FIND HER FINGER
PRINTS ALL OVER YOUR CAR,

THAT'LL PROVE SOMETHING, WOULDN'T IT?

I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

HELLO.

THIS IS ANN GREY SPEAKING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RETAIN
ATTORNEY BAXTER AS MY ATTORNEY.

HE ADVISED ME TO
SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOU.

I'VE DECIDED
TO TAKE HIS ADVICE.

IF YOU WILL COME
TO HIS BOATHOUSE-

ALL RIGHT. YES,
I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

OK.

UH...

WHERE WERE WE?

OH, YES, YES, YES, YES, YOU WERE SAYING

THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ANN GREY IS.

NO. I HAVEN'T
THE SLIGHTEST IDEA.

WELL, I GUESS
YOU WIN, BAXTER.

I WAS TRYING TO BLUFF
YOU, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.

SORRY TO HAVE
TROUBLED YOU.

MAY I GO NOW?

CERTAINLY.

I'LL DROP YOU OFF.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST CALL A TAXI.

NO, NONSENSE.
IT'S A PLEASURE.

BUT I'M NOT GOING
TO MY APARTMENT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL DROP
YOU OFF WHEREVER YOU ARE GOING.

IT'S THE LEASE I CAN DO FOR
DRAGGING YOU DOWN HERE AT THIS HOUR.

AAH!

HERE! YOU CAN'T
DO THAT!

WELL, THANKS AGAIN.

NO, NOT AT ALL.
NOT AT ALL.

COME ON, FELLAS.

WHAT'S THE IDEA
OF THIS?

ANN GREY IS IN THAT
HOUSE, AND WE WANT HER.

NOW, YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

IT'S NO USE,
BAXTER. YOU SEE,

SHE TELEPHONED ME TO
COME HERE AND GET HER.

WHAT THE...

IS HE DEAD?

NO. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S
SHOT THROUGH THE SHOULDER.

WHO IS
THIS FELLA?

MY BUTLER. HERE,
GIVE ME A HAND.

HELP ME PUT HIM
ON THE COUCH.

NO, NO, NO. YOU BETTER
LEAVE HIM WHERE HE IS.

GET A DOCTOR.

WELL, THERE'S A DR.
GRIFFITH DOWN THE ROAD.

GET HIM.

YES, SIR.

ANN!

ANN!

ANN!

ANN!

WHAT'S THAT?

"I'M SORRY IT HAD
TO END THIS WAY... "

I'D THINK SHE WOULD
BE A LITTLE BIT SORRY.

SHE DIDN'T SHOOT HIM.
WHEN SHE WROTE THAT NOTE,

SHE INTENDED
TO KILL HERSELF.

YEAH. WITH WHAT?

WITH MY GUN. I TOOK IT AWAY FROM HER.

YOU FOOL.

YOU KNEW WHEN YOU
BROUGHT HER UP HERE,

YOU WERE SHIELDING A
KILLER. THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,

SO YOU HAD TO FURNISH HER WITH A GUN.

IT'S TOO BAD THAT
SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO SUFFER

FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.

I'VE GOT IT.

THEY FOLLOWED
BETTY UP HERE.

WHO FOLLOWED
BETTY UP HERE?

THOSE THUGS THAT SHOT AT
US. THEY SHOT HIM, TOO.

AW, WHY DON'T
YOU GIVE IT UP?

THE GUN'S GONE,
AND THE GIRL'S GONE.

YOUR BUTLER TRIED TO
STOP HER, SO SHE...

SHOT HIM.

NO, NO. THAT GIRL
WOULDN'T HARM ANYONE.

BESIDES, IF SHE WERE
TRYING TO ESCAPE THE POLICE,

WHY WOULD SHE CALL YOU?

YOUR FATAL
FASCINATION, BAXTER.

THE GIRL IS IN LOVE WITH
YOU AND TRIED TO CLEAR YOU.

HE BADLY HURT,
DOCTOR?

WELL, HE'S
STILL BREATHING.

HOW LONG BEFORE HE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK?

I CAN TELL YOU BETTER
AFTER I GET HIM PATCHED UP.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO
FIND ANN GREY.

YOU AREN'T
GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

MARTIN, YOU'VE GOT
TO DO ME A FAVOR.

I AM DOING
YOU A FAVOR.

NO, YOU BETTER SCRATCH THIS
GIRL OFF YOUR LIST, BAXTER.

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD I'M
GONNA KEEP YOU LOCKED UP

UNTIL WE FIND HER BEFORE
SHE SHOOTS YOU, TOO.

BUT SHE DIDN'T SHOOT MY
BUTLER OR THE OTHERS EITHER.

NO? WELL, SHERLOCK HOLMES, WHO DID?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

BUT IF YOU GIVE ME
A COUPLE OF MEN,

I THINK I CAN
FIND OUT WHO DID.

WHERE WOULD YOU START?

I'D START AT
THE SHOW BOAT CAFE.

WANT TO GET THERE, YOU CALL THIS NUMBER

AND ASK IF ANYONE THERE
WANTS TO SPEAK TO JOE.

I'LL BE THERE TO SEE
WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE.

AND IF IT'S A MAN
WITH A LONG BLACK BEARD,

I'LL TELL HIM
BENNY SENT ME.

NO, MARTIN,
I'M SERIOUS.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SOMEONE
ANSWERS THE TELEPHONE, THEN WHAT?

THAT'S THE MAN
THEY WORK FOR?

WHO WORKS FOR?
THE THUGS.

WHAT THUGS?! THE THUGS
THAT CALLED THAT NUMBER.

OH, LOCK THIS LUNATIC UP...

BEFORE HE GETS ME
TALKING THAT WAY.

I'M WARNING YOU. YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING

ABOUT ANN GREY AND DO IT MIGHTY QUICK,

OR YOU'LL FIND
HER IN A DITCH

WHERE YOU DID
MONK SHELBY.

AND EVEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE STUPID ENOUGH

TO THINK
SHE DID THAT.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE, BAXTER,
TAKE IT EASY. COME ON.

BEALE, GET ME
BELLEVUE HOSPITAL.

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT,
SISTER, COME ON.

HE WANTS ANOTHER THOUSAND
DOLLARS IOU, CAN HE GET IT?

HOW MUCH HE OWE NOW?

8,000.

ALL RIGHT. LET HIM PLAY ANOTHER
GRAND, BUT THAT'S THE LIMIT.

OK, CHIEF.

HERE SHE IS, BOSS.

WELL, I'D ALMOST
LOST HOPE.

COME ON
AND SIT DOWN.

THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.
OH, YOU CAN GO, JOE.

YOU CERTAINLY
MAKE IT HARD

FOR PEOPLE TO DO
FAVORS FOR YOU.

YOU'VE DONE NO FAVORS
FOR ME, SMILEY GORDON.

YES. WHO FIXED THAT TRUCK
TO KNOCK OVER THE POLICE CAR

DOWN AT
THE COURTHOUSE?

YOU DID THAT?

I TOLD YOU I'D TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YOU'RE ALL SET
TO SLIP OFF

TO EUROPE
THROUGH CANADA.

AND I'LL SEE THAT YOU
STEP OFF THAT GANGPLANK

WITH A NICE
PIECE OF CHANGE.

AND WHAT'S THE CATCH?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S
THE CATCH.

OH, COME ON, ANN.

THERE'S NO USE
STALLING.

MONK SHELBY
RATTED.

HE TOLD US THAT ARNOLD GAVE
YOU THOSE BONDS TO SOAK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT-

ONLY THEY WEREN'T
ARNOLD'S BONDS, SEE.

THEY BELONG TO ME.

HE COULD HAVE HAD
HALF FOR PEDDLING THEM,

BUT HE WANTED
THE WHOLE THING.

ARNOLD WASN'T ON
THE LEVEL, ANN.

DON'T YOU
BE LIKE THAT.

YOU KILLED TED ARNOLD.

WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF I WERE YOU.

THE JURY SAID YOU
DID- YES, BUT YOU KNOW-

A QUARTER OF A MILLION
WON'T HELP YOU ANY

WHEN THEY TURN
ON THAT JUICE.

COME ON, ANN. TELL
ME-WHERE ARE THE BONDS?

I DON'T KNOW.

IF I DID, I WOULDN'T
TELL YOU NOW.

YOU'RE A LIEUTENANT,
AREN'T YOU, COLLINS?

NOT YET.

IF THEY CAPTURED THE GANG
THAT KILLED TED ARNOLD,

YOU WOULD BE A LIEUTENANT, WOULDN'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU STOP TALKING
LIKE THAT, MR. BAXTER.

IT'LL ONLY GET YOU
A PADDED CELL.

BOY, WHAT A BUMP!

WHAT'S THE IDEA?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOCKED
MY HAT OFF.

OH, I DID?

OH, I'M SORRY.
I'LL GET IT.

NO, YOU DON'T. YOU STAY
RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

I'LL GET IT MYSELF.

HEY! HEY! COME BACK
WITH THAT CAR!

HEY! YOU-

IS JOE AROUND?

WHY, UH-

NO, SIR.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

HAVE YOU
A PAY PHONE HERE?

YES, SIR. IN THE
WASHROOM RIGHT OVER THERE.

THANKS.

I TELL YOU, TED ARNOLD
DIDN'T GIVE ME THE BOND.

HE DIDN'T GIVE THEM TO ME!

SAY, THAT GUY BAXTER'S DOWNSTAIRS

SNIFFING AROUND.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
IT SAVES ME

THE TROUBLE
OF LOOKING FOR HIM.

COME HERE. I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO.

OH, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO TO HIM?

TONY BAXTER KNOWS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

I SWEAR TO YOU
HE DOESN'T.

I'M NOT TAKING
ANY CHANCES.

YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE! YOU'LL JUST
GET INTO TROUBLE IF YOU HURT HIM.

YOU KILL HIM AND YOU'LL HAVE
THE WHOLE TOWN AFTER YOU.

THANK YOU,
SIR.

HELLO, DEAR.

HELLO?

DOES ANYONE THERE
WANT TO SPEAK TO JOE?

I DON'T KNOW
MR. JOE.

YOU ALL WAIT,

AND I'LL SEE IF
THE BOSS IS IN.

NO, DARLING. I'M AFRAID
I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

MR. JOE...

HOW CAN YOU BE HERE

AND ON THE PHONE IN
THERE AT THE SAME TIME?

WHAT'S THAT?

GET IN THERE AND KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

YES.

THAT'S HIM.

Baxter: I'M SORRY, DEAR.
BUT THIS IS BUSINESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

NO.

ALL RIGHT. THEN I'LL
CALL YOU LATER.

GOOD-BYE.

ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR ANN GREY?

WHY... YES.

ALL RIGHT.
THIS WAY.

SAY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE IS SHE?

RIGHT BACK HERE
IN SMILEY'S OFFICE.

ANN!

WHY, TONY!

ANN, ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT?

LOOK, I'M JUST
SPILLING MY DRINK.

YES, OF COURSE
I'M ALL RIGHT.

I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE
LEFT YOU LIKE THAT

BUT IT WAS GETTING A LITTLE
BIT WARM AROUND YOUR PLACE,

SO I THOUGHT
I'D BETTER GO.

WILL YOU HAVE A DRINK?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

OOH, WAITING FOR
SOME FRIENDS OF MINE.

YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT HELP,
TONY, AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

BUT NOW YOU
MUST RUN ALONG

AND PRETEND
YOU'VE NEVER MET ME.

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

OH, JUST, UM,
DISAPPEAR.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE
GOING TO RUN AWAY

AND HIDE THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE

INSTEAD OF TRYING
TO CLEAR YOURSELF?

WHAT ABOUT
YOUR ALIBI?

I HAVE NO ALIBI,
TONY.

I KILLED TED ARNOLD.

HE, UM, TRIED
TO RUN OUT ON ME,

SO I-I KILLED HIM.

THEN YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING ME FOR A SAP.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

I HAD TO MAKE YOU THINK
I WAS INNOCENT

OR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
HELPED ME, WOULD YOU?

TONY, PLEASE GO.

I'M TERRIBLY GRATEFUL
TO YOU, BUT-

THERE'S NOTHING MORE
FOR ME TO SAY.

WHAT ABOUT
MONK SHELBY?

I MADE THAT UP.

THERE IS NO MONK SHELBY.

THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT THERE WAS

UNTIL THESE HYENAS SHOT HIM
AND THREW HIM INTO A DITCH-

OH, TONY
- WHOEVER RUNS THIS PLACE

IS THE HEAD OF THE
GANG WE GOT AWAY FROM-

TONY!

Smiley: WELL,
YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD

AT FIGURING THINGS
OUT, AREN'T YOU?

NO, SMILEY,
YOU CAN'T!

I'M SORRY. BUT YOU SEE HOW IT IS.

SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T
PAY TO BE TOO SMART.

YEAH?

Man: THE D.A. JUST CAME
IN WITH A COUPLE OF DICKS.

STALL HIM.

TAKE THEM
DOWN THAT WAY.

WELL, I'M
TELLING YOU,

I'M SURE YOU WON'T FIND
THEM IN HERE, MR. MARTIN.

THE BOSS
AIN'T IN, IS HE?

NO. HE WENT UPTOWN ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO.

WELL, WE MAY AS WELL MAKE SURE ANYWAY.

IF YOU'D COME INTO THE
RESTAURANT, MR. MARTIN,

I'LL FIND YOU
A NICE TABLE

AND TRY AND LOCATE
THE BOSS FOR YOU.

WELL, YOU GONNA WALK OR
YOU WANT TO BE CARRIED?

HE WON'T
BE BACK TONIGHT.

HE WENT ON HOME.

OH, HELLO, CHIEF.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I
HAVE TO TELL YOU BOYS,

I'M NEVER OUT
TO MR. MARTIN?

COME ON IN, CHIEF.

THOSE DUMB MUGS-

I GOT TO APOLOGIZE
FOR THEM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING
ON YOUR MIND?

OH, DO YOU KNOW
TONY BAXTER?

BAXTER?

THE GUY THAT RUNS THE
CLEANING AND DYING RACKET?

NO, NO. NO,
NOT THAT FELLOW.

WAIT A MINUTE.

COME ON, YOU.

GIVE ME THAT ROPE.

PUT YOUR HANDS
BEHIND YOUR BACK.

PUT YOU HANDS
BEHIND YOUR BACK-

HEY! TAKE IT
EASY-

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

NICE OFFICE
YOU GOT HERE.

WHAT'S THROUGH THERE?

OH, THE CAFE.

WHERE DOES
THIS DOOR LEAD TO?

THAT USED TO LEAD
TO A BOAT LANDING,

BUT WE DON'T
USE IT ANYMORE.

MAY I OFFER YOU BOYS
A LITTLE DRINK?

FOR ME? THANKS, NO.

NOW, GET
IN THAT BOAT.

COME ON!
GET IN THAT BOAT.

COME ON, FELLOW.
ON YOUR WAY.

LOOK OUT, TONY!

YOU DON'T MIND IF I HAVE A LOOK IN HERE?

COME ON, SMILEY.

OPEN UP.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT IF
I WERE YOU, MR. MARTIN.

YOU'LL GET YOURSELF
ALL DIRTY.

BESIDES THERE
ARE NO LIGHTS.

YOU HEARD
WHAT HE SAID.

OPEN UP.

WHY, CERTAINLY.

JOE, LOOK!

COPPERS! TURN AROUND! BEAT IT!

CROSS THE BOW!

WHAT ARE YOU
STOPPING FOR?

WE CAN'T GET AWAY.
THEY'LL CUT US IN 2.

GET BACK ON
TO THAT PIER!

ALL RIGHT.
THEY ASKED FOR IT.

LET THEM HAVE IT.

SO, SMILEY-

SHUT UP AND BACK UP!

WAIT A MINUTE, BOYS. WAIT A MINUTE.

TAKE IT EASY.
COME ON.

I GOT HIM, CHIEF.
I GOT HIM.

HEY, NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE-

DON'T YOU
START WITH ME.

NO, NO, COLLINS.

DON'T BREAK THE LITTLE LADY'S HAND.

HELLO, MS. GREY.

HELLO.

WELL, YOU BROKE AN APPOINTMENT
WITH ME THIS EVENING.

MARTIN, YOU'RE WRONG. SHE
DIDN'T DO IT, I TELL YOU.

I KNOW IT. I'M ARRESTING SMILEY GORDON

FOR THE MURDER
OF TED ARNOLD.

IT'LL TAKE A WISER GUY THAN
YOU ARE TO HANG THIS ON ME.

OH, I'M DISAPPOINTED
IN YOU, SMILEY.

YOU SLIPPED UP BADLY
WHEN YOU TRIED TO MOP OFF

MONK SHELBY BECAUSE
HE'S STILL ALIVE

IN BELLEVUE HOSPITAL.

HE WAS CONSCIOUS LONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE A SIGNED STATEMENT.

THEY'RE GOING TO SEND YOU AND
YOUR BOYS TO A VERY WARM CLIMATE.

HEY, BAXTER!

BRING THE GIRL AROUND TO
MY OFFICE IN THE MORNING.

WE'LL DISMISS
THE CHARGES OFFICIALLY-

OK!

HEY! HEY!

HEY! THEY'RE TAKING THE POLICE BOAT!

HEY!

I'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO SAY TO YOU.

LET'S GO HOME.

YOURS OR MINE?

YOU'RE THE BOSS
FROM NOW ON.

YOURS.
