[ Ship Horn Blowing ]

Look at this, a roadster.
And the gang promised me
a limousine.

It's piecrust to you,
ain't it?
Shut up, you sap.

We ain't out of danger yet.
It's 10 miles to town.
Well, so long.

I hope I never see you again.

Boy, I hate
these country prisons.
I hate all prisons.

The food is bad.
Well, listen. Next time--

There ain't gonna
be any next time.
Not for me.

No? What are you gonna
do for a livin'?
Start a chicken farm.

You can start with 100 eggs,
and by saving the pullets,

at the end of the year
you'll have 10,000 eggs.

Yeah? Listen.
Get out and fix that.
What's the matter?

I think we got a flat tire.
Flat tire?

That's luck for you.
I don't see any flat tire.

No? Well, buy a mirror!

Hey, there!

Friends, we will hear
from Brother Dan,

once lost in the sea of sin,

but now safe
on the shores of love.

[ All ]
Praise be! Praise be! Praise be!

Friends, you wouldn't "tink"
to look at me now that
I once was as wicked as you.

But, yea, verily,
there's no sinner among you
what I can't call "brudder."

You know how I got lost
in crime and sin?
Bad company.

But I found
the error of my ways.
I found that crime don't pay.

Now I'm happy in the light
and love the whole world.

[ Drum Banging ]
[ All ]
Praise be! Praise be!

Yeah, even the-the depraved
wretch what led me into sin,

even him I love and forgive.

And remember, "brudders,"
crime don't pay.

[ Horn Honks ]

No, sir.
Crime don't pay.

And verily, I say to you,

even the depraved wr-- louse...
what led me into sin,

even him I love and forgive.

And there is a blow of vengeance
coming what-- on all sinners
what knows no mercy.

There is retribution for all.
And there is "tunderbolts"
comin' from the sky...

on your head, unexpected.

And verily I say to you,
the wages of sin is
a punch in the jaw, you louse!

[ Crowd Shouting ]

What are you pinchin' me for?
He's the one that did it!

[ Gate Clinking Open ]

Another one?
Hello, Al. Another load?

Howdy, Joe. Yeah.
Got another load for you.

[ Men Jeering ]

Oh, look at the mug
on that guy.
Look at that pan!

[ Jeering Continues ]

Say, is there a piccolo player
in the crowd?

Why, no, sir.
But I can play
a saxophone.

So that's what you're in for.

For three months, I been tryin'
to get a piccolo player, and
all they send up is saxophones.

Just a lot of punks.
That's all.

[ Man ]
Oh, now that's a shame.

What'd you do, boy,
rob your mama's bank?

Poor kids.
What do you think of that?

Ain't that a dirty shame?
Get the pan on this guy.

[ Men Jeering ]

I been in this jail 40 years,

and the saps
they send up here
gets worse and worse.

It's gettin' to be
a day nursery.

They wouldn't even allow
those kind of guys in here
in my time.

How'd they keep 'em out?
Blackball 'em?

You know what they'd have
called Big Pete in my day?
What?

A sissy.
[ Laughter ]

Yeah, there was men
in those days--

men with needles
in their chests,
men like meself.

[ Bones Crack ]
Come on over
and play ball.

[ Chattering ]

Just one week before
the big game, and they had to
go and pardon the pitcher.

It's politics.
That's what it is--
politics.

Somebody higher up
don't want us to win.
You know who it is?

The governor.

Jessell!
Well, if it ain't
little Morris. So you're here!

Yes, I'm here.
And you're here too,
where you belong.

You got me all wrong, kid.
I lost more money on that horse
than you did.

Did you, Jessell?
Did you lose your position
and money and friends?

And mother?
She died at my trial.
You killed her.

If it hadn't been
for you--
Shut up, you little swine.

You were a thief long
before I knew you.
That's a lie! Take it back!

Cut it out!
Go on. Scram!

Don't do that. Come on.
Don't take it so hard.

I can't help it.
How did your family feel?

Well, they don't know.

I changed my name.
They think I'm in China.

How'd you do that?
Well, I got friends
out there.

They forward my letters home
and cable my folks
once a month.

[ Bell Rings ]

I'll see you around.
I work in the office there.

Got a lot of new fish
coming in. You know,
associates, inmates.

Come on, son.
Buck up, boy.

[ Man ]
Come on, you fellas,
will you? Come on.

All right, Pop.
What's the hurry?

I got plenty of time--
30 years.
Nix, only 20 for me.

Say, do you think
they'd mind if I was
to join in?

Can you play ball?
Why, sure.

Go on and get over there then.
Pop'll plaster you with kisses.
Hurry up.

And this is the men's yard.

Aren't you afraid here with
all these dreadful characters?

Oh, dear, no.
They're just like
little children to me.

In fact, to all
the welfare workers.

Watch it.

Oh, how do you do,
Mrs. Massey?

How do you do?
So jolly to
see you again.

Uh, I missed you terribly
last Thursday.

Had some friends up
from the city.
Charming people.

They were very disappointed
not to meet you.

Well, cheerio.
See you again.

You see?
And who is he?

Electrical genius.
Wiretapper.

[ Jew's Harp Twangs ]

Hi, Dooley.

Famous strangler.
[ Gasps ]

Now we go over
to the welfare rooms. You see?
They're right over there.

- [ Shrieks ]
- [ Massey ]
Don't be afraid.

He's just amusing little Jean,

the warden's daughter.

Jean, say hello to my friends.

How do you do?
How do you do, dear?

Have you a kiss
for Mrs. Massey?

Yes, Mrs. Massey.
I gave it to Rex.
The dog?

[ Clears Throat ]
Let's go over
to the welfare room.

Okay, what's next,
Eddie?
Try this one, Jean.

[ Men ]
That-a-boy, Eddie.

Oh, I can do that!
No, you can't.

Geez, that-a-girl!
Here's one you can't do.
Walk on your ear, Jean.

No.
Of course not!

** [ Bass Drum ]

I got him.

[ Man, Indistinct ]
[ Man ]
Look this way please.

Keep smilin' now.

[ Man ]
Big smile, St. Louis.

All right,
one with your lawyer,
St. Louis.

Come on.
Get over here, Marvin.

[ Man ]
Thanks!
Thank you.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]
Come on, buddy. Move up.
Guy with the camera, move up.

** [ "Stars And Stripes

[ Chattering ]

Through here. Number one,
right here please.

Number two,
right here.
Well, hello, Sophie.

Number three--
Hello, Kitty.
Glad to see you back again.

Lemme see.
I ain't seen you
in about a month, ain't it?

I know.
Well, come on. I'm gonna
take care of you two myself.

Lovely. By golly, you girls--
I'm going to check these
two girls in personally.

[ Woman ] How's it been?
Everything is lovely. We've got
a new wing on the place.

The mockingbirds
are singing just the same.

[ Man ]
Name?
Judith Fields.

Age?
Twenty-one.

Your first offense?
The first time
they caught me.

- Fraud?
- I told fortunes.

And they gave you
three years for that?

Well, after I'd finished
telling fortunes,
I'd, uh,

recommend certain oil stocks.

Oh.

Well, then,
you worked with someone?

A broker.
Did you know
what you were doing?

Of course.
Well, then, why?

It was fun!
I always wanted
to travel.

You know, we never
hit the same town twice.
Oh, you can't understand.

Oh, yes, I do.
I've felt the same way.

I was headed
for China.
China?

Gee, I'd love that.
Gee, you know,

we had jobs out there--
three of us boys and,
well, then this came up.

And you threw that over
to work here?

No, you don't understand.

I don't work here.
I belong here.

- A convict?
- Yes.

But we call ourselves inmates.

Gee, that's tough.
You don't look it.
Well, neither do you.

Well, tell me, uh,
what-- what did you do?

A fight,
just before the boat sailed.

The other boy--
What a rotten break.

[ Clears Throat ]
Married?

No.

Engaged?

Say, is that on the card?
Oh, no.

[ Typing ]
What are you in for?

Shoplifting.
I was framed!

Sure.
We all was framed.

What's yours?
Spittin' in a river.

Gee, I didn't know
they could pinch you
for that.

Why, you told Mrs. Massey
it was for winkin'
at a cop.

- For not winkin' at a cop.
- Terrible creature!

Well, at least she don't
scare 'em to death
with blackmail.

Is it necessary
that I wait in here
with these other persons?

Cut the ritz!
We was all arrested and
here we are, in the "cansky."

Who's she?
Edith La Verne.

I don't see
what men see in her.
Oh, is that the love thief?

The extortionist.
Extortionist?

Honey, was you in the circus?

[ Giggling ]
I'm so sorry for them.
Really, I--

[ Typing Stops ]
And the are the women!

Come, girls.

Yes, sir.
[ Chattering ]

Say, there's nobody
but ladies allowed
in here.

So I see. We want to see
the warden a minute.

[ Women ]
St. Louis!

[ Chattering ]
Okay, boys.

Hey, buddy, buddy,
where's the warden?

Oh, you got company.

Not a bad jail.
[ Laughs ]

Hey, hey,
what's the idea?
Hello, Warden. How are you?

Well, St. Louis,
glad to have you with us.

Hello, Curly.
Say, listen, Warden.

I want to make
a little bargain with you.

You know, I thought you looked
a little bit worried
out there in the yard.

Yeah?
Yeah, you know, thinkin' that
I might leave here unexpectedly.

[ Chuckles ]
I wanna tell you somethin'.
I'm on the square with this.

I shoot straight, see?

When I decide to go,
I give fair warning.
Yeah?

Yeah. How's that?
That's fair.

Okay, Warden.
That's a bargain.
Show him to his cell.

Oh. Oh, now, please,
please. Wait a minute.

You know, Warden,
about this cell business--

Sorry,
I haven't any cigars.
Thanks, I don't use 'em anyway.

About this cell business,
Warden, if you don't mind, I
don't like to sleep too high up.

No?
No.

And, if you don't mind,
I'd like a nice airy cell,
you know,

plenty of windows,
and a nice southern exposure.

Southern exposure?
Yeah, if you don't mind.

I'd like a double bed.
And running water.
Sure.

And I'd like--
Say, I'm not boring you, am I?

No, no. Go on.
Outta here!

Okay, Warden.
See you at supper.

Beans again, I suppose.

Southern exposure.
Running water.

Not too high up.
Sunshine.

Say, if I had a cell like that,
I'd sleep in it myself.
[ Laughs ]

[ Bell Rings ]

Don't forget to lock that.
A lot of new guys
come in here today.

Letters from home?
Yeah.

Yeah, pretty regular.
Now, look here.

Here's a picture
of my mother here.

And here's my kid sister
Frances over here.

Let's see it, Steve,
will you?
Sure.

Too skinny.
I don't like 'em
so skinny.

I like legs.
What?

Limbs.

When I left home,
she was a kid on roller skates.

Now she's off to college.
College?

Yeah.
Gee, your folks
must be swell.

And look at that house!
You know, it makes me real sick
to look at a house like that.

[ Chuckles ]
Why?
Why?

'Cause I could've had
a house like that.
Easiest thing in the world.

Only mine would've
had a tower on it
with my chicken farm...

if it wasn't for that
big baboon.
What baboon?

He come in here today.
He means St. Louis.

And you shut up about him.
He's the greatest ballplayer
you ever saw.

Oh, how that guy can pitch.

Well, ballplayer
or no ballplayer,
he'd better stay out of my way,

'cause if I ever lay my hands
on that guy, I'll croak him.

I never know how
they're gonna turn out.

[ Chattering ]

[ Cheering ]

[ Punch Lands ]
[ Groans ]

You're a fine guy, you are.
Leave me flat
in the middle of the road.

You callin' me
a double-crosser?
Yeah!

You think
I'd double-cross a pal?
Didn't you?

I thought there was
a rumble seat.
There was no rumble seat!

That kind of car
don't have a rumble seat.
Keep quiet!

You're not gonna let--
All right, maybe there was
a rumble seat on the car.

Look out for his arm, will you?
That's the way, boys.
Don't fight.

Don't let 'em fight, Pop.
I won't let 'em.

Steve's my name.
How are you?
Glad to know you, kid.

Glad to know you too.
What do you say
we turn in, boys?

- I think you're up there.
- Me?

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Say, you wouldn't let a pitcher
climb way up there,
would you?

He might strain his arm.
I've gotta throw too,
ain't I?

You throw higher than him.
You have to throw way down
to second base.

I ain't gonna let that guy
put anything else
over on me.

I'm gettin' smart!
What do you mean,
put something over on you?

Wait a minute.
[ Voices Overlapping ]

Wait a minute.
I'm not dumb.

I'm settlin' this thing
without any fighting. Think
of a number from one to 10.

One to 10?
Yeah.

Seven.
That's it.
You sleep in the lower one.

Get on up there.
That's fair enough,
ain't it?

Long as I lost on the level,
it's okay.

Forward. March!

[ Chattering ]
Well, how are you today,
Genesis?

How is y'all,
Mrs. Massey?
[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Well, Judy, quite an honor
it seems to me to be selected to
instruct the warden's daughter.

Of course, it's quite
against my better judgment,

but, uh, I hope it'll
turn out all right.

Thank you, Mrs. Massey.

[ Woman ]
Two and two is four.
Four and four is eight.

Sour grapes, kid.
Sour grapes.
Mrs. Reilly,

can Judy and I
go in the yard
and take a walk?

Surely, dear.
Go right along.
Thank you.

Oh, how do you do,
Mrs. Massey?

What a beautiful apple.
Strange. Such good-looking
girls, aren't them?

Not a homely one among them.
[ All ]
Thank you, Mrs. Massey.

Years ago, when I started
doing welfare work,
it was quite the reverse.

Well, in those days
women wore long skirts.

The only ones
that were acquitted...

were the ones smart enough
to cross their legs
during the trial.

What a peculiar psychology.
Have an apple, dear.
Oh, thank you, Mrs. Massey.

And I have a magazine
for you, my dear.
Thank you, Mrs. Massey.

And here's the latest style
magazine for you.

Girls, isn't this jolly?

Dewey's won
the Battle of Manila.

I oughta--
Why don't you leave me alone?
I haven't done anything to you.

What a jam!
[ Laughs ]

[ Steve ]
Let 'im alone!

What do you mean let him alone?
I said let him alone.
Scram, kid.

What are you gonna do?
Make a favorite of that punk
around here?

Keep your hands off him.
Say, who are you to tell me
to keep my hands off anybody?

What's the matter, Steve?
What's all the trouble?

Pop and I found this big lug,
and he give me an argument.

He thinks everybody's
scared of him.

Sure, everybody's scared of me.
Everybody's scared,
are they?

[ Groans ]

You don't wanna bother
with them guys.
It's a waste of breath.

I know, but look out
for your arm.
Look out for your arm.

Hey, the "ame-day"
is waitin' at the "ate-gay."
[ Together ] Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Hey, Steve.
I wouldn't go down there.

Keep away from that girl.
Gettin' pretty near your parole.
I wouldn't take any chances.

Yeah, listen, kid.
He's right about that.

You do what Pop says,
and you'll never go wrong.

I'll go.
Hey--

Hey, some guy hit
a great big lug out there
right on the button.

Hey, buddy, I'm sorry.
I butted into something.

I didn't know.
She don't want to see me.
She wants to see you.

Me?
Yeah.

I didn't know
that you two were
fond of each other.

Well, gee, I don't know
how fond she is of me,

but I think she's a fine girl.

Well, ain't you never
said anything to her?
No, I haven't had a chance.

You know what the rules are.
Oh, we waved a couple of times
from the window.

Well, you come on over.
I'd like to have you meet her.

Yeah, but listen,
if she's caught
talkin' to me--

Don't let that worry you.
I'll take care of all that.

Hey, lug. Come here.

No, he means you.

Say, who do you think you are,
ordering me around?
What do you want?

* Judy's got a boyfriend
Judy's got a-- *

Jean--
Judy, there's a couple of fellas
in reception to see you.

I got the pass right here.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Jean, come over here.
Your Uncle Danny wants to
tell you a fairy story.

Aw, Danny.

Why does a chicken
cross the street?

To get on the other side.

Heard you were being paroled
in a few days.

Yes, I am.

I just wanted to say good-bye
to you before you left and...

thank you for being so sweet
to me that day in the office.

Well, that's all right.

I've-- I've been trying
to get to see you too,

because, well, I--
I have a lot of things
I want to talk to you about.

Remember that first day in
the office when I asked you
if you were engaged?

Yes, and I said,
"Is that on the card?"

Yeah. Well it--
You know it wasn't.

I wanted to know because--

Well, are you engaged?

No, Steve, I'm not.
Are you?

No, I'm not. Oh,
but I'd like to be...

to you.

Now, look out
for this one, Jean.
This is a hard one.

Why does the president
of the United States
wear a high silk hat?

To keep his head warm.

I'm on the level too, Steve.
But I guess it-- it can't be.

Why not?

Well, I've heard
all about your home
and your family and--

Well, I'm-I'm just--
Well, wait a minute.

That's just storybook stuff
about the rich boy and the poor
girl not being able to marry.

Doesn't count here at all.

When we get outta here,
we're just gonna be
a couple of ex-convicts,

and that's not storybook stuff.

We got to start all over,
bottom of the ladder.

And I-- I'd like for us
to start together.

Well, that is, if--
if you're fond enough of me.

I am fond of you, Steve.

I'm more than fond of you.

If there was five birds
in a tree, and St. Louis and I
shot one of the birds,

how many of the birds
would be left in the tree?

None, because
they'd all fly away.

Jean, you ain't been
reading a book, have you?

No.
Can't understand it.

I'll wave you
an answer tonight.
Beat it, kid.

Judy, that isn't the man you--
Judy, tell 'im
you're not at home.

[ Chattering ]
Fellas, Miss Fields.

Two minutes.

Well, darling, here I am.

Just three months
too late, Frosby, and
never mind the "darling."

But, Judy--
I didn't come in here
because I wanted to see you.

I came in here because
I wanted to tell you
what a dirty rat you are.

You don't understand--
I do understand now.

I thought your business
was a little shady,

but I didn't know
it was gonna land me in jail.

Well, it's finished.
I'm paying for it.
What could I do?

What could you do?
You could have stayed
and faced it out,

not run away like a coward
and leave me to take the rap.

Listen, Judy.
I've got friends and influence,
and I've got some dough left.

I can get you out,
and we can go away.
We? We can't do anything.

I'm through with you
and all your kind.
Now, listen.

There's a fine,
clean kid inside,
and he's stuck on me.

And I'm crazy about him.

He gets outta here in a week.

He's gonna wait for me.

We're gonna start together
at the bottom of the ladder--

Steve and I.

Steve.
Yes, that's the name of the kid
that's waitin' in there for me.

He's waitin' in there now
for my answer.

Okay, Judy.
Time's up!

Genny,
be sure this gets to him.
Don't forget.

[ Chattering ]

And Genesis, poor lamb.

[ Crying ]
Oh, Miss Massey.
Miss Massey.

You is such a good woman.

And I's such a bad woman.
No, Genny.

If I'd only met you
when I was a little child,

I'd have been in my chariot...

on my way to glory.

There, there.
Oh, Genny.

You mustn't cry like that.
Everything's gonna be all right.

[ Chattering ]
Don't cry.

That's two chocolate bars
and an apple you owes me now.

What's goin' on?
Signal.

Yeah?
Yeah,
from the women's quarters.

Oh, is that how they do it?
Sure. Didn't you
know that?

With all the cans
you've been in.

Yeah, but I never
stayed in one long enough
to find those things out.

What does it say?
Wait a minute.

Message...

gate.

[ Bell Rings ]
Good day, boys.

Mrs. Massey,
look at your shoes!
All dusty again. Imagine that.

Why, boys, every time
I come through that gate,
you clean off my shoes.

That's all right, Mrs. Massey.
It's a pleasure.
Not at all.

Good-bye, boys.
Good-bye.

Good-bye.
Did you get it?
For Steve.

Ah, none of them bimbos
ever write me.

No sex appeal, my boy.
No sex appeal.

Where's Steve?
Why?

I got a kite for him.
I'll take it.

You'll take it?
I'm in on this.

Oh.

Hey, don't look over my shoulder
when I'm reading Steve's mail.

This is from a lady.

Hey, Steve.
Come here a minute,
will ya?

Congratulations, Steve.
For what?

Well, you're e--
Uh, I got a little note
here for you.

[ Laughs ]
I'm engaged.

[ All ]
No!
Yeah.

Judy.
[ All ]
No!

Yeah.

Hey, you fellas--
You didn't read this,
did you?

[ All ]
Nah.

Four times six--
25.

No, dear. It's 24.
[ Warden ]
Hello, Judy.

How's the youngster
getting on?
Just fine, Warden.

That's great.

[ Man ]
1136 wants to see you, boss.

I'm busy.
It's Steve. He wants to
say good-bye.

Oh, sure.
Show him in.

Good luck to you, my boy.

Thanks, Warden.

I, uh, I know
it's against the rules,

but could I give you a message
for a girl here?

A prisoner?

You see, we're, well--
We're engaged.

I want her to know
that I'm gonna
work hard for her...

and make something of myself
so that when she's free--

Just you wait a moment.
Wait till I get a pencil
and write that message down.

Here's a pencil, Daddy.
All right, bring it to me.

How am I going to get it
unless you bring it to me?

I'll write every week.
I won't write at all.

Your family
mustn't see letters
with this postmark.

They mustn't know.

Don't worry.
I'll stick it out.

It's only five months.

You won't forget?

Huh? Oh-Oh, yes.
I found a pencil.

Now, what was that message?

Well, what I wanted to say
was, "Thanks."

So long, Jean.

Four times eight--
43.

He's gone.
Four times nine--

Bye-bye.
[ Men Calling Good-byes ]

[ Man ]
Don't come back!
I'll do that.

Take care of yourself, kid.
I'm gonna miss you.

Look out for the kids.
You bet I will, Steve.

[ All ]
Bye!

Well, Stephen!
Why, I'm glad to see you.

Thank you very much,
Mr. Sterling.
I'm glad to be home.

Well, good-bye.
Hope you've enjoyed
the service.

Yes, we have.
Hope to see you next Sunday.

Good-bye.
Good-bye, girls.
Good-bye.

Glad to see you.

Why, hello, Steve.
Hello.

How's China?
Oh, fine.

Thought you'd be
wearing a pigtail.
You going back there?

No. Not till
I've been around home
for a while.

No, he's going home a while
and get some of Mother's
good cooking.

How do you do, sir?

You're a stranger here,
aren't you?

Yes.
I'm glad to see you
at our service.

Thank you very much.
Most delightfully
edifying.

My name is Frosby.
I'm Reverend Sterling.

Delighted to meet you, I'm sure.

Oh, isn't that Stephen--
Jordan.
Do you know him?

No, I'm not acquainted
with him personally, but I know
a very dear friend of his.

I should be delighted
to introduce you.
Most gracious of you.

Mrs. Jordan, will you
allow me to present
Mr. Frosby?

How do you do,
Mr. Frosby?
This is her son, Stephen.

How do you do?
How do you do?
My sister, Cynthia.

How do you do?
Ma'am.

I'm very, very pleased to meet
the Jordan family. In fact,
I might say I was most anxious.

Really?
Indeed. Your son and I happen
to have a mutual acquaintance.

- Yes?
- A Miss Fields.
A Miss Judith Fields.

She was formerly in my employ.
[ Sterling ]
Really?

How interesting.
Perhaps you'd come and have
supper with us tonight.

Mother, I--
It's all right, dear. Sophie
always has enough for a dozen.

You'll come,
won't you?
Thank you very much.

Good-bye, Mr. Sterling.
Good-bye.

Supper is at 6:00.
I shall be there most promptly.

** [ Chorus Continues ]

See you this evening.

Oh, I'm going to open up
a branch office here.

Of course, I shall
miss Judy. She was
a most valuable assistant.

But as you know
everyone in town,

you may be able
to take her position.

** [ Chorus Continues ]

[ Man ]
Don't forget your ABC's, boys.

Hiya, lug.
What are you doing
in there?

We're takin' intelligence tests.
Thought we was trying out
for the show.

Hey, you're in the wrong line.
Get over in front of
the welfare building.

Any of you guys that's trying
out for the show.

You stick here.
You're gonna take a test.

You better take that
intelligence test, boy.
You'll need it.

Hey, Happy.
Yeah?

Gimme the works here,
will you?
Right.

Come on, come on.
Get a little pep into it.
What's the matter?

What's the matter with you?
You stiff?
St. Louis.

Keep your back turned, kid.

Heard from Steve?
No.

I have.
He's in a jam.

How?
You know Frosby?

He's the guy you
took the rap for, isn't he?
Yeah.

He followed Steve
to New England.
He's trying to use him.

Blackmail, huh?
The old stock racket.

He threatened to--
Yeah, yeah. I know.

He's gonna tell the folks
that Steve was
in the stir, huh?

What'll I do?
You don't do nothin', kid.

Just leave it to me.

Say, listen, Judy.
Yeah?

Are you really
stuck on Steve?
Yeah.

There's, uh, no chance
for a guy to muscle in there,
is there?

I'm on the level.

I really love him.
Okay, baby.

What does m-o-r-o-n spell?

Why-- Why, that spells moron.

I passed, 100%.

Hey, lug, you was never
in New England, were you?
No.

Well, you're goin' now.

** [ March ]

[ Applause ]

Hello, fellas.

As you know,
we're gathered here tonight
for our annual entertainment,

which is sponsored
by our good friend,
Mrs. Massey.

[ Applause ]

Also, we have as
our honored guests...

a number of people from
the outside, which we take
great pleasure in welcoming.

[ Applause ]

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

I take great pleasure
in introducing
our master of ceremonies--

One who is a master of
ceremonies, one who has acted
in a similar capacity...

in a great many institutions
of this kind...

both in this country and abroad,

and one whom we hope
to have with us
for many, many years to come.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I take great pleasure
in introducing
our master of ceremonies,

Honest John Jessup!

[ Applause ]

Mr. Warden.

Ladies... and gentlemen.

I can scarcely find the words
to express my gratitude...

in having being selected
as master of ceremony
for this delightful performance.

It is a very unusual compliment.

And now, with
your kind permission,

I take infinite pleasure
in presenting that
ever-popular team,

Black and Blue.

[ Cheering ]

** [ Fanfare ]

Come on there, Blue.
Let me ask you somethin' now.

You owe me some money,
and what I wanna know is,

when is you gonna
pay me my money?
Why, I pay you when you alone.

When I'm alone?
Mm-hmm.

I'm alone now.
No, you ain't.
I'm here.

[ Cheering, Laughing ]

What is that thing
you got there?
That's my bazooka.

But--
Musical instrument.

Bazooka? You don't mean
to tell me you get
music outta that.

Sure, I do.
Let me see this thing.

[ Clangs ]
[ Laughter ]

That ain't nothin'
but an old piece of gas pipe.

Yeah, but I makes my livin'
with that piece of gas pipe.
[ Laughs ]

Yeah, but I play
good music
on this thing.

Let me hear you
play something on it.

I'm just gonna play
the "St. Louis Blues"
on this thing...

in honor of St. Louis.

I'll be seeing you.
Go ahead, mister.
Will you play it for me?

Gee, those guys are swell!

Oh, we certainly knocked them
cold out there tonight.

Boy, they're laughin'
out there yet.
Mi, mi, mi-mi-mi-mi.

Mi, mi, mi.

Come on, kid.
Knock 'em in the aisles.
You're a cinch.

They're a pushover.
Gee, but I'm scared.

Go on out
and look 'em in the eye
and sing, kid.

They can't walk out
on you anyway, kid.

Well?
Well, I ain't goin'
through with it, I tell you.

Now, listen.
I never break my word.

And I gave my word to Judy.
And we're goin' to New England,
and we're goin' tonight.

I can't go to New England,
not tonight.
I'm in the finale.

[ Man ]
Oh, what's the use, St. Louis?
Say, listen.

If you don't do like I tell you,
it's gonna be your finale.

All right, I'll go.
What's that got to do
with the act?

It's part of my plan,
you sap.
Oh.

What do I do
when I get on the stage?
You just stand there.

Don't I sing or dance
or do nothin'?
Yeah. You do nothin'.

I'm gettin' smart.
There's somethin'
screwy about this.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
our next act will hardly
need an introduction.

Allow me to present
St. Louis and Company.

[ Cheering ]

Thanks very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, they've
asked me to do my little bit
for the entertainment tonight.

I can't sing, and I can't dance.
But I'll tell you
what I will do.

I'll do an act that I used to do
when I was a little kid
and ran away with the circus.

This is a knife-throwing act,
and I use a human target.

And the gentleman
that's kindly consented to
act as my target tonight...

is none other
than my old partner
and pal, Dannemora Dan.

** [ Orchestral ]

Right over there, Danny.

Right over there.

Listen, you guys
wanna be quiet out there.
I gotta have absolute quiet.

Are all the lights in
this theater controlled from
that switchboard right there?

[ Man ]
That's right, sir.
Thanks very much.

Throw a little more light
on Danny's head.
[ Man ] All right, sir.

Listen, you wanna remember
that I haven't done this act
for a long time.

I'm liable to make a few slips.
You've got to overlook that.

I'll do my best though
to go through the act
without any serious injury.

Now, Danny, Danny--

** [ Drum Roll ]

He missed him!

Give the warden
a great big cheer.

[ Cheering ]

I guess they made it.
Yeah.

[ Engine Puffing ]

[ Whistle Blows ]

Frosby.
You'd tell everybody
that I was an ex-convict.

But now that you've started
to swindle my mother--
Swindle?

She told me all about you.
She told me about every
crooked deal you ever pulled.

Well, what do you
want me to do?
I want you to get out of town.

Well, I won't get out of town.

And I'll tell your mother
that you weren't in China--
that you were in jail.

An ex-convict!
You'd do that?

Well, you won't have to,
because I'll tell her myself.

Now, listen,
you little jailbird--
All right, I am a jailbird!

But in jail,
I learned how to
handle crooks like you!

You've been threatening me!
Now, I'll threaten you!

If you don't get out
of this town by tonight,
I'll kill you!

We're not intruding, are we?

Oh, no, not at all, gentlemen.

Would you sit down?
Our business can wait.

Glad to know you,
Mr. Jones.

Well, what can I do for you?
I wanted to have
a little business talk with ya.

Well, you'll have to
make it pretty short,
because he's leaving town.

That's too bad.
I'll see you when you come back.
He won't be back.

Oh. Well, that's--
that's tough.

Oh, say, by the way,
which is the best hotel
in town?

Well, there isn't any best.
They're all terrible.

But I'd like very much
to have you stay
at my house.

Oh, no.
I don't wanna put you
to all that trouble.

[ Slams Door ]

Why, it won't be
any trouble at all.

Really, I'd like to have you
meet my mother and my sister.

Give you a nice room,
and put him
in the garage.

Swell.
And I know how
you traveling men...

like to get a good
home-cooked meal.

Ah, boy, now you're talkin'.
Say, I haven't had
a home-cooked meal in year--

Uh, it's been
quite some time now.

Okay, then.
Suppose we go right over?

Fine and dandy.
Come along there, brains.

There are millions
to be made in this stock.

Wrap that up
and save it for me.
I'll be back later.

[ Steve ] Frosby, be down
at the train tonight
to make sure you don't miss it.

Bye-bye.
Good-bye.

[ Slams ]

Say, listen, Frosby,
what are you trying to do?
Huh?

Those two guns from New York--
What about them?

I never saw them before.

Say, have you got some new game
you're not gonna cut us in?
Now, listen, cutie.

As long as you're
as pretty as you are--
Oh!

Listen, if you even try
to double-cross us,

you know what
will happen to you.

Aw, shut up!
Get out of my way!
I'm busy.

Come on in, fellas.

Oh.
Hello, Mother.

Hello, dear.
Say, listen, Mother,

I brought a couple
of friends home to spend
the weekend with me.

You don't mind, do you?
Oh, no, of course not.
Bring them right in.

All right.
Come on in, boys.

Mother, I want you
to meet Mr.--

Jones.
Do you belong to the Salem
Joneses or New Bedford Joneses?

Well, I'll tell you, ma'am,
I come from New York State.

Yes, you see,
and this is Mr.--

Dannemora.
Oh.

Say, where's baby?
Danny Mora.
I think she's upstairs.

Hello, Sis.
Sis, I want you to meet
a couple of friends of mine.

This is my sister.
This is Mr. Jones
and Mr. Mora.

How do you do?
How do you do?
Thank you.

Now, come right in, children,
and make yourselves
perfectly at home.

Won't you sit down?
Thanks.

You sit here, will you?
Thank you very much.

I'll take your hat.
And I'll take your hat.
You can sit right here.

I hope you'll
make yourselves
perfectly at home.

And you may smoke if you like.

Steve smokes.

I caught him once
smoking corn silk
when he was a little boy.

Gee, Steve, that was wrong.

Well, anyway, he's grown up
to be a fine young boy.

I'll help Sophie get supper.

Could I help you, ma'am?
Oh, no, thank you, dear.
Sophie's here.

Gee, Steve, this is great.
This is swell.

Boy, your mother and--
This is great.

[ Coughs ]
Do you like our home?

Sure.
And your mother's nice.

Pretty.

Who's his nobs here,
your father?

Oh, no.
That's Abraham Lincoln.

Oh.

Is that him? I know.
The father of this country.

Come along, children.
Our dinner is served.

Now, let me see.
How am I going to seat you?

Mr. Sterling dines with us
about once a month,

so I'll put our newest guest,
Mr. Jones, at my right.

Thank you.
And, Mr. Sterling, my left.

And I'll sit here.

Oh, thank you, dear.

And, Mr. Mora,
you may sit next to baby.

Thank you.

And now, Mr. Sterling,
will you say grace?

[ Clearing Throat ]

Accept our thanks, O Lord,
for this food,

and bless it to our use
for thy namesake--
Amen.

I think I'll take
these flowers off.

Daffodils are lovely
this time of year,
but they're in the way.

Thank you, dear.
You're welcome.

I hope you'll enjoy
your supper, children.

It's a very simple one.

Our regular Saturday night meal.

But no one in the country
can cook them
as we New Englanders do.

Boston beans.

Well, that's--
that's splendid.
Thank you.

I'm so sorry Mr. Frosby
couldn't come tonight.
Frosby?

Yes. I invited Mr. Frosby
to come and have supper
with us, but he couldn't.

Marvelous stock
he's offering for sale.

It ought to enrich
many of our townspeople.

Mr. Sterling, I--
I don't know very much
about stocks, but--

Well, if I were you,
I wouldn't invest in any stock
until I'd consulted my banker.

Are you going to invest much?

Well, with my
modest salary--
Blessed are the poor in spirit.

For their's is
the kingdom of heaven.

Hayride! Hayride!

Oh!

We didn't know
you had company.
Oh, that's all right, dear.

[ In Unison ]
We're sorry if we're intruding.

Oh, no, you're not intruding.
Just a couple of friends
for supper.

Oh, Steve,
aren't you going?
Going where?

Well, your friends
are cordially invited...

to attend the third annual
hayride and dance.

The choir leaders are giving it.
You'd like to go,
wouldn't you, boys?

Sure!
Where'd you put
my hat?

Wait a minute.
There's plenty of time, Danny.

Sit down, girls,
and have a cup of coffee.
[ Voices Overlapping ]

Sophie, bring some coffee.
Thank you.

[ Voices Overlapping ]

No, they don't have
hayrides in New York.

Sophie, hurry with the coffee!

But--
Ah, well.

Ah. Good evening.
Good evening.

What was Frosby doing here?

Steve, I've just made
a wonderful investment...

that will make
you and your sister
independent for life.

You bought his stock?
Yes, dear.

You gave him your bonds?

Why, yes. Why?
Nothing.

Nothing.

Aw, Steve don't know
anything about business.

He don't know how
those things are done.

You know, Mother, I think
you'd better go to bed.

You know, you had a hard day,

Where are you goin'?
You heard what
I told that guy.

Not with that gat, you're not!

You think I'm gonna stand by
and see him rob my mother?
Shh!

Give me that gun. Come on.
Get out of my way.
You'll wake up your mother.

Go on in there.
I wanna have
a little talk with you.

Here's a cigarette.
I don't want one.

Smoke it!

Now, Steve,
you gotta snap out of this.

You're only a kid.
You're gonna marry Judy,
ain't ya?

And you got
a great home here, and
you got a wonderful mother.

And just one shot out of
that gat, and you're gonna
blow the whole works.

Well, you know
what it means--
Aw, forget it.

Forget it, Steve.
It's a sucker's game.

Nobody but chumps uses guns.

Steve.

Did you ever see a guy
go to the chair?

Huh?
Well, I did.

I spent eight months
in that condemned row.

Watched 'em go one by one.
Pals of mine.

Guys that you'd say
good morning to
in the morning,

and then you'd say
good night at night.

And then they'd go.

And I'd wait day after day,
week after week,
month after month,

wonderin' if I was gonna
be the next one to go.

Let me tell you,
that's no picnic, kid,

listenin' to the drone
of that lousy motor and
watchin' those lights go dim!

Come on.
Don't be a sap.

What am I gonna do?

Don't worry about Frosby.

He'll be taken care of.

Well taken care of.

Say, what do you think
Danny and I come up here for,
to go on hayrides?

Steve?

Yes, Mother?

Aren't you going
to say good night to Mother?

Coming, Mother.

[ Man ]
* Over these prison walls

* I would fly

* And I'd fly

There you are, Steve.
There's the works.

What's this?
Your mother's bonds.

Why, say--
Gee, fellas, I--
Aw, that's nothin'.

But, listen, I could--
Aw, forget it.

Steve, we gotta scram.
We got a date. Besides, if
you're seen around here with us,

it'll break your parole,
and you know what that means.

And, Steve, we're gonna
tell Judy just exactly
what you told us to tell her.

Word for word.
Make her believe it,
will ya?

Steve, you're on the square
with Judy, ain't ya?

You bet I am.

That's all we wanted to know.

Oh, and...

here's a little--
little piece of poetry I--

I copied out of a book.

Give it to her for me, will ya?

Why, Sure, Steve.
Sure.

[ Train Whistle Blows ]
Hey, that's our freight.

Now, wait a minute.

This is a tough bunch of hombres
and they crave action,
and you should see them slug.

Now, listen, fellas.

I've been in this can
40 years,
and my one ambition--

Is to get out.
Oh, shut up!

No.
It's to win the--

the Institutional Championship
three times.

You won it twice already
and nearly copped it
again last year.

I would've too if my third
baseman hadn't sat down on me.
Sat down on you?

Yes.
[ Man ]
Electrocuted.

Look out for his arm, will you?

And now, St. Louis
and that other gorilla...

have to walk out on me
just one week
before this big game.

Now, here's what
I want you to do, fellas.
I'm pretty old.

I haven't got very far to go.

But I'd be the happiest guy
in any jail if I could
cop this game today.

Now, will you go in and fight
and try to win for old Pop?

[ Voices Overlapping ]
That's the way to talk.

Now, remember our slogan--

[ All ]
From first base to second base
to third base, we roam.

Be it ever so humble,
there's no base like home.

That's the place that counts--
home base.

And remember
who you're playin' with--
a bunch of crooks.

No ethics.
Show 'em that
you're gentlemen.

on the up-and-up.

Where's your pitcher?
There he is.

Oh, is this your pitcher?
Yeah.

Now, remember, the game's
gotta be on the up-and-up.
Okay.

None of that, you know.
And none of that.
No?

Not through the game.
And none of this!
See what I mean?

Where's your pitcher?
Right here, buddy.

Oh, uh, I've heard about you.

You just heard
the rules, didn't ya?
Sure.

None of that!
Say, what's the idea?

And none of that!
Come on!
Leave him alone!

And none of that!

You don't have
to show him that.
No?

Didn't I tell you
there was none of that?
Sure!

And that?
Well, how about this?

Say, what's the idea?
Leave that bat alone!
Come on! Play ball, you guys!

All right,
everybody ready?
Good luck.

Come on!
Lots of luck.
Go right to it.

Over the fence.

I'll get that ball
for ya, Warden.
Oh, let me get it.

[ Bell Ringing ]

[ Ringing Stops ]

Okay to come in?

[ Ringing Resumes ]

[ Ringing Stops ]
Good-bye, dear.

Good luck.

[ Ringing Resumes ]

[ Ringing Stops ]

St. Louis!
Hello, Danny.

Gee, I'm sorry to see
you kids back here again.

Oh, that's all right, kid.
I told 'em I'd be back,
and I never break my word.

Besides, I'll tell ya,
it wasn't so much fun
out there as you might think.

You know, travelin' around
by yourself all alone.

Wasn't I with you?
Yeah, that's what I mean.

Say, what are you gonna do, kid?

I don't know.

I'll go back
to the old racket,
I suppose.

[ Chuckling ]

No, no. No, no.
You won't go back
to the old racket.

You're goin'
right to New England.

New England?
Sure.

Steve's waitin' for you.
[ Chuckles ]
Steve's waitin' for me?

Well, I'm tellin' ya
he's waitin'--

Listen, he gave us
a message to give to you.
He-- He told us to tell ya--

What was that message
that he gave us?

Well, he told us to tell you
all about the--

the birds and the--
the lilacs--

you know, flowers--
and the-the blue skies,

and, uh, the love
what comes but once--

Well, the meat
of the whole thing is you're
to go back to New England.

Yeah, yeah.
Now, what he's trying
to tell you is this.

You know. You know,
the birds are singin',

and the--
and the flowers,

and the river's kind of--

It's pretty, ain't it?
And it's all-- It's--

Well, listen,
here's the dough for you
to go back there with.

- I don't need it.
- Sure you do.

Them Chinese mannequin coats
cost a lot of jack.

Chinese coats?
Why, certainly. Steve's
gonna take you to China.

We told you that,
didn't we?
Sure.

Tokyo, Honolulu--
All them Chinese towns.

Say, are you kiddin'?

[ St. Louis ]
No.

You mean Steve is...
really waitin' for me?

Say, what the heck--
Listen, baby.

I am tellin' ya on my word,
and I never break my word.

That's one thing
I'll say for the louse.

Hey, Sam.
Now here's your big chance.

We're gonna send you in there
to hit that ball.
Do you think you can do it?

Sure, Pop.
That's a boy. Okay.

Now, listen.
If ever you laid on an apple
in your life, lay on this one.

It's our only chance to win.
You'll do that for
your old pals, won't you?

Sure.
All right.
Do it for Pop.

That's the boy.
[ Voices Overlapping ]

Hello there, Warden.

So you're the fellow
that never breaks his word?

Oh, now, listen, Warden.
I'm sorry about that.

But I had to leave
in such a hurry,
I just couldn't say good-bye.

You know that this
doubles your sentences,
don't you?

All right, I'll redouble.
Gee, that makes me
286 years.

I won't need that.

- Take them to the cooler.
- Oh, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.

Judy's gone, and we're
losing the ball game.

Huh? Yeah?
That's right, Chief.
Three runs behind.

Take 'em to the cooler.

Send St. Louis and uncle Dan
to the cooler when
we're losing the ball game?

Oh, now, listen, Warden.
You're not gonna do that.

With Jean and the gang
waitin' for us out there,
we gotta win that ball game.

Look here, St. Louis.
Can I trust you and Dan...

to go out to that diamond
without leaving us?

I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you my word,

and you know that
I never break my word.

No?
Well, never twice
in succession.

Take 'em to the cooler.

After the game!

Why does a fireman
wear red suspenders?

To keep
his trousers up.
[ Laughing ]

Say, St. Louis,
you know that fellow McDowell
on the other side?

Now, don't give him
a high ball.
Keep 'em down and close--

I don't care if there was
a rumble seat on the car or
if there wasn't!

If it hadn't been for you,
we wouldn't be spendin'
a month in the cooler!

Will you shut up
about that rumble seat?

Take that cigar
out of your mouth.
You're in training.

All right!
And I'm tellin' ya,
there was a rumble seat.

I don't care.
Ever since I met you,
I've been in trouble.

Yeah, well, you know,
you're no turning point--
