Dick Tracy calling.

Attention harbor police, federal officers, stand by.

I'm in the dirge below the ocean, off San Francisco.

I'm going to try to bring it back to land.

S .O .S.

S .O .S.

Don't know where the dirge below land.

Contact the shore patrol in case I don't make it back.

Dick Tracy calling federal office.

Calling federal office.

Something's happened.

He stopped talking.

You lift me up and say, here, get away.

That's it right there.

Federal 6400.

Commander Brandon, please.

Dick Tracy's office calling.

Hello?

Yes?

Oh, we just received his call.

I'll send him at once.

All departments, general alarm.

S .O .S.

The government wants those motors to leave the United States.

I'll turn you back.

Head back to the mainland.

You heard me, back to land.

Hard at port.

Drop her down to 10 ,000 feet.

Come on, nose her down.

Look, they're coming back!

They won't get away this time!

Steve!

Hold her.

Is there any way to contact that plane by radio from this cabin?

No, only from the radio room.

They're coming back!

Yes, sir!

How did he get in here?

The port motor?

The port motor is on fire!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Help!

Help!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Move!

Get out of the way!

The the the the the the the of the the the the the Thanks for watching!

I don't think I'm going to be able to do that.

Soon those marvelous motors will be in our country.

Pardon to disappoint you, gentlemen.

I don't think my government wants those motors to leave the United States.

All right, turn your back.

Head back to the mainland.

You heard me, back to land.

Part of port.

Drop her down to 10 ,000 feet.

Look, they're coming back.

They won't get away this time.

That's deep.

Hold her.

How did he get in here?

Something's happened to the motor.

The ship's on fire.

Stop!

Stop!

Let go!

Let go!

This parachute won't hold us both!

We're going to have to, Derson!

Let go!

Good thing we haven't alone.

We'll take them all to drown out here.

Yeah, we're just about to be under them.

Time to hit the water.

We're going to have to, Derson!

Are you all right?

Okay, thanks.

You'd better get dry.

I only have plenty of time to dry off for several years.

Think it's in the shore, will you, buddy?

Just the man I want to see.

Dick, I want you to meet Mr.

Vance of the Consolidated Steamship Lines.

Mr.

Tracy, Mr.

Vance.

How do you do?

How do you do, sir?

In Captain Bullock of the Steamship Atlantis.

Hello, Tracy.

Captain.

What's the trouble, Clive?

A million dollars in gold has disappeared from the Atlantis.

How?

That's what we'd like to know.

The gold was in a special compartment that was locked in the sea.

It was locked and sealed from the time the Atlantis left the other side until

she docked here.

When we went to open the compartment, the sea was just as we left it.

But the gold was gone.

You searched the ship?

From stem to stern.

And all luggage before it was allowed ashore.

Is the Atlantis still in port?

Yes.

We had a slight accident at sea, a fishing smack ramblest.

It's a matter of routine we'll have on the plates examined in case any need

repairing.

Well, I'd like to go aboard and look the vessel over.

Certainly.

I'll notify the odd superintendent to be at your service.

Thanks.

Captain, did anything unusual occur during the trip?

Yes.

A seaman was lost overboard.

At first, we thought it was an accident.

But later, we found this in his locker.

Remember, others will be watching to make sure that you obey instructions.

This is no piker's job, Clive.

In fact, it's big enough and clever enough to make me think...

The spider ring.

What are you going to do?

Make sure of the handwriting on this note first.

Then, well, good day, gentlemen.

What did you find out about the note?

Well, the handwriting does check with other notes.

Then it is from the spider ring.

Thank you.

This handwriting, Gwen, Gordon could have written that note.

Oh, impossible.

Gordon couldn't be the spider.

Why?

Why, the spider ring was operating before Gordon disappeared.

That's right.

For the moment I...

Hello, folks.

I just heard about the missing gold shipment.

Dick and Harry Dorado.

What's the note?

Well, I'm going down to the dock and look over the ship.

You better stick around here.

Okay.

Well, say, Chief, you better take me with you.

I'm a human bloodhound when it comes to getting gold.

All right, Mike.

Oh, Gwen, you better file this away with the rest of them.

You better go get your hat on.

Hurry up, now.

Hold on, let Gordon in.

We've been waiting for you.

Everything is ready?

Here's the working diagram of the Atlantis.

This is where our ship rammed her.

That, uh, accident was a very brilliant inspiration, Gordon.

And the gold here near the bow, where we can get to it when we are ready.

Where can I find the superintendent?

I'm the superintendent.

Oh, Mr.

Stevens.

My name is Dick Tracy.

Oh, yeah.

Mr.

Vance told me you'd be here.

What can I do for you?

Well, I'd like to have a little look around if you don't mind.

Why, sure.

Come along.

Thanks.

Junior, you know in some localities, I'm known as not -tying McGurk.

Really, I'm one of the finest rope tires that you've ever seen.

Have you found any damage?

Some.

One plate seems to have been broken.

You've been sprung a bit.

I'll show you.

Could it have been done deliberately?

Well, it could, but I don't see what good that would have done anybody.

Where was she hit?

Just after, for midships.

Now, here's the plate that was sprung.

Now, there I go, spilling ink all over again.

I guess I'll have to get a new pen.

Here, take mine.

Oh, thank you.

Now, here's where she got ran.

And there's where the gold compartment is.

Quite a distance apart, you see.

Have you fixed the plate yet?

No, the riveting crew will take charge of that when they get here.

Want me to show you the ship before I go?

Before you go?

Yes, my foreman Clancy bosses, the riveters.

Come along.

Thank you.

We'll be right back.

See?

It is solid.

There's nothing wrong with it.

I've tried it in the Indochina and...

What's the gag, Mike?

Oh, I was just showing Junior a little rope trick I had here.

High class.

Now, you take the two ends, see, and you put one on each wrist like this.

Now, pull them tight.

That's it.

Pull them good and tight.

The big trace of the G -Man just came aboard.

He's making a complete inspection of the ship.

Better notify the lame one.

Calling location seven.

Calling location seven.

Calling location seven.

Location seven answering.

Stand by.

I'll take it.

Go ahead.

Dick Tracy just came aboard.

He's making complete inspection of the boat.

I'm leaving it once for the dry dock.

Want me to cut it?

Oh, you don't think I can get out of it, huh?

Me wants to sail the 11 seas.

Well, I'll fix it this time.

I'll fix it this time.

Well, there isn't much I can tell you, Mr.

Tracy, except that this is the vault where the gold was stoned.

Well, I'd like to take a look inside.

As far as you like.

Clancy will cooperate with you.

Glad to have met you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Clancy, there's a G -man aboard.

G -man?

Yeah.

I don't know what he wants, but do all you can to help him out, will you?

Yeah.

Gee, I didn't know anybody was in there.

You might have been smothered to death.

Yes, I might have.

You know where I can find this fellow, Clancy?

Yeah, that's me.

Oh, I see.

You have the blueprints.

Are you going to fix that damaged plate?

Yes, yes, I was just starting to do it.

Well, do you mind if I tag along?

No, suit yourself.

Farley, I've already marked the plate.

Cut it according to this blue print.

All right, boss.

So that's where the damaged plate is?

Sure.

What did you think it was?

I was just wondering.

Thanks.

What's the matter with you, Maude, you afraid of burning that rivet?

Did I see that blue print for a minute?

I suppose you're going to try to tell me my business.

No, I'm just a curious sort of a guy.

Remember, be ready when they remove that plate.

That's all you can do from in here.

Take the equipment outside.

Start cutting from there.

What's that?

Blue print showing where the damaged plate is.

I thought it was more of midships.

How do you know?

How do they make those?

It's white ink?

Ink.

There was an ink spot on Steven's copy.

I'll only my pen.

This isn't the right blueprint, Junior.

You wait here for me.

You couldn't mind your own business, could you, Copper?

Oh, Junior, are you sure?

I saw it.

The man hit him.

We'll be right down, Junior.

What's the matter?

Dixon's over at the shipyards.

Call headquarters and ask him to send help.

The main, 4 -100.

All right, pull it away.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Hey, Planty!

Look out!

Remember, be ready when they remove that plate.

I'll be right back.

Look out!

Stop!

Shit, feel better?

Come on, get up.

Back to the warehouse.

Can't get the gold now.

Come on, get up out of there.

Oh, I'm hurt.

Take it easy, now.

That plate almost got you, brother.

Yeah.

That's a very valuable piece of metal, Steve.

Hey, you had the right hunch, Tracy.

Here's the gold.

Oh, so that's where the gold was hidden.

We can make good use of your skill as an engraver, Mr.

Coulter.

It will be most convenient to manufacture our own money.

You will excuse me a moment, please.

Coulter delivered as per plans everything in readiness to proceed.

That's very kind of you, Mr.

Odette, but I don't know if Dick will be able to make it.

The broadcast takes place very shortly now.

That may be Dick now.

I'll go see.

Oh, hello.

Where's Dick and Steve?

Oh, they're out chasing a spider.

Well, don't worry about him, Miss Andrews.

I fixed everything down at the dock.

You know, it was like this.

I was standing there.

Well, when they got done with him, they all had black eyes,

and one guy had a place on it.

Oh, hello.

I was just telling Miss Andrews here.

So I heard, Mike.

Do you think Dick will be back soon?

Oh, you can't tell.

If there's anything I can do for you, gents, you know, I'm his chief assistant.

No, I, uh, maybe you can at that.

We want Dick to make a little talk over the radio and address to a boy's club,

but if he's tied up...

Oh, let me do it, Mr.

Odette.

Boy, that's right up my alley.

Right up my alley.

All right, Mike.

We'll give you a chance.

Gee, I'd like to hear myself on the radio.

I'll bet I'm plenty good.

You can, Mike.

I'll make a record of it in my photograph over here.

You can hear it when you get home.

Oh, good.

Then I can hurry right home after the broadcast and see how I sound, can't I?

Where's that speech?

Here it is.

All of it.

Oh, man, I'll know that backwards time we get this through your car.

Bye, Miss Andrews.

Junior, can you really make a record of Mike's speech?

Oh, sure.

All I do is record his speech in this record and run it off in my phonograph.

Now, this is a record I made the other day of a shortwave broadcast.

I don't know who it was talking, but it certainly was a good record.

Did you get the spider?

No, Junior,

but the police found something on one of his men that I wish I could figure

out.

Does that mean anything to you?

7 .2, 230.

It's Greek to me.

Let me see that, will you?

7 .2, 230.

You will now hear a brief address on crime prevention by Michael McGurk.

Mr.

McGurk.

Now?

Please.

The ABC Finance Company will...

I want to tell you about this case.

In case you didn't know about this...

What was I talking about?

Oh, murder, yeah.

Be sure you play it right.

I won't miss.

I wouldn't let our methods of...

communication give you any cause for concern, Mr.

Colter.

The submarine will pick up...

When you have...

When you have crime, you don't need prevention.

When you have prevention, you don't need crime.

Gordon reporting?

By scrambling?

Yes.

When we pay it back at the proper speed, we will get his report.

Here's the thing about murder.

You can get away...

You can get away with about so long...

You can get away with murder about so long, and then somebody gets killed.

Now, you take the case of Henry Jones.

That's his name, isn't it?

Jones?

Is that his name?

Henry Jones was killed when he was murdered.

He died.

In case you didn't know about this murder, here's the way it happened.

This fellow was on his way home, this guy named Smith, see?

One night, when all of a sudden up in the window, there was a parrot that said,

Oh, Smith!

Like that.

Well, it scared him so bad that he started to run through the barn,

and there was a cow right there...

What state is he on?

6 .2.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That was a short wave.

9 .50.

6 .2.

6 .27 .2.

That must be their wavelength.

When?

Phone the government radio station.

Have them triangulate on shortwave 7 .2 right away.

I've got to find out where that station is.

Steve, get the arrow coil.

Junior, you'll find a map of the city at my desk.

Get it for me.

Let's see now.

South, south, west.

To west.

To west.

Here we are, Steve.

We've got it.

Yes, we can find the exact location.

Mind it, we can't miss.

It's right on the waterfront.

Get the car in.

Come in.

Everything's clear at the float.

Take Mr.

Colter into our guest room, stand guard below.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come here.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Why is Mr.

Colter?

Get those ropes off, Steve.

Hurry it up.

Listen, Steve.

They've locked us in.

We've got to get him out of here.

I wonder what's below us.

Well, there couldn't be anything but water.

We'll soon see.

Listen to this, boy.

Steve, give me a hand.

Well, I guess no more funny sounds are going to come through.

I guess not.

Hello, Mike.

Now, you talk about a broadcaster.

How did I sound?

Well, I hear yourself.

Sure, I want to hear about that.

Now, here's the thing about murder.

You can get away.

That ain't me.

I'm going to play something like that.

Hey, stop it.

You're slowing it down.

The submarine will pick up colder at the warehouse.

It will proceed to location 10,

where our counterfeiting operations will not be molested.

That's coming from the spider, and Dick's gone down there.

Where?

Well, I don't know, somewhere near the waterfront.

But they took the map with them.

What did they say about a submarine?

I'll find out.

Come on, make that thing work some more.

Turn on it.

Dick, can you hear us some more?

Federal, 6400.

Right.

Commander Brandon, please.

Ira Police Headquarters, Brandon speaking.

Oh, how do you do, Miss Andrews?

What?

We'd be there right away.

Mike, Junior.

Never mind monkeying with that.

We've got to get down to the harbor.

We've got to get down to the harbor.

Good.

Get cold or aboard.

I'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Dick, beat it to somebody's cup.

Dick crazy.

How did he get here?

We're getting off him.

His boat's out of control.

This is the end of the video.

Nick Tracy, how did he get here?

Getting up.

This boat's out of control.

This boat is out of control.

Hang through the lock.

Give me a hand here, will you, man?

Right.

Take it easy.

How about Colder Dick?

Is he all right?

He will be as soon as we get him to a doctor.

The spider nearly finished him.

How about Colder Dick?

Bring them in my office, Carter.

We'll interview them here.

I've asked you all to be here so that we could compare notes.

And perhaps get some new lead on this spider business.

You'll do the interviewing, Dick.

Ah, here they are now.

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.

I want you to meet Dick Tracy.

How do you do?

Joe Crane is my name.

I'm mighty pleased to meet you.

Gee, Dick Tracy.

My name's Perry.

Say, I've heard an awful lot about you.

How do you do, Perry?

This is Bill Morford, Dick.

He works for the telephone company.

Well, I'm glad to know you, Bill.

How do you do?

Mr.

Tracy has a few questions he'd like to ask you.

Gentlemen, these are all assistants of mine.

You may speak freely in front of them.

Please be seated.

Thank you.

Mr.

Crane, you are a conductor on the P &M railroad, are you not?

Yes, sir.

I understand that some months ago you witnessed a strange meeting which took

place on board a train.

Would you mind telling us about it?

Well, it was a late train pulling out of the P &M station for Los Angeles.

If any of you see him, will you put on?

Perhaps the rest of you know why you're here.

Perhaps you're afraid of him.

Well, I'm not, nor do I consider him useful to me.

We understand each other.

We're organized.

What good is he to us?

Maybe he will have something to say about that.

that when he comes.

Suppose he does.

He's not here.

And what if he were a receipt that we follow him blindly.

And isn't human.

I don't think he's on the train.

I don't think he's on the train.

Well gentlemen.

You.

What is your report?

Fine.

Yeah, everything fine.

A tono.

Fine, chief.

Fine.

Everything's okay.

My affairs are an excellent shape.

You wish to hear what I have to say?

Then listen.

I'm through with you.

The rest might be yellow and lick your boots, but not me, not me.

I'm not afraid of you, nor of anything you can do.

No one could figure out how that fellow with the lame foot got on or left the

train.

The man with the lame foot is the man we want.

He is undoubtedly the head of a powerful organization.

A spider ring.

Mr.

Perry, tell us what you know.

I deliver milk, Mr.

Tracy.

I had just started on my route early in the morning before sunrise.

I noticed a man who acted crazy.

He seemed scared of something.

He was trying to get away.

I immediately phoned the police, but the man was dead.

That spider mark had actually burned into his skin.

The lame -footed man again,

some sort of a fiend who brands his victims with a spider mark before killing

them.

Ellery Brewster was killed that way.

There was one victim they didn't quite kill.

Steve, remember Death Valley Johnny?

Steve and I suspected the spider ring was after Johnny.

Do you have a gentleman registered here by the name of Death Valley Johnny?

I should say we have.

He's right over there in the midst of all those reporters.

You can't miss him.

Wait a minute, boys.

Will you have a seagull?

Why, certainly.

Will we have a seagull?

You're a great guy, Johnny.

Will I give you the headline?

Say, don't forget to print the best one.

Hello, boys.

Have a cigar.

No thanks.

I don't use them.

You?

No thanks.

I smoke a cigarette.

Oh, cigarettes, eh?

Well, sit down, and let's have a powwow.

We don't mind if we do.

Don't mind if I smoke.

No, go right ahead.

Help yourself.

All right.

What newspaper are you boys from?

We're not from any newspaper.

I'm Dick Tracy, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is my assistant, Steve Lockwood.

Well, what brings you here calling on me?

We're here in your interest.

We have reason to believe a certain criminal ring may cause you trouble.

Listen here, young man.

I've guarded the whereabouts of that mine for nigh on to 20 years,

and no umber is going to get it away from me.

Besides, the gold won't be mine after 10 o 'clock tonight.

I'm selling out.

Does anyone besides yourself know where the gold is?

No, sir.

I kept the secret of that mine in my head,

and I ain't going to open my yep until those jewelers sign on the dotted line.

Jewelers?

Yes.

I'm selling out to a big firm of New York jewelers.

And, uh, it a good stiff figure, too.

Death Valley Johnny got it that same night.

Now, sir,

I suppose you won't mind disclosing the whereabouts of your hidden mine.

I suppose you won't mind disclosing the whereabouts of your hidden mine.

I suppose the specimen gold is kept there.

Yep.

I'll draw your map.

Here you are.

Oh, thank you.

Ain't no trick in finding it once you get on the right track.

There.

That ought to be plain and simple like.

That will be fine.

Mr.

Nolan, I'd like to see that map if you don't mind.

I must say your actions are most peculiar.

I'm so sorry.

Give us that paper.

Death Valley Johnny didn't die.

I guess he was too healthy and tough for the spider ring.

The thing which ties these crimes together is the spider mark.

And the walk of the man with the lame foot.

Ahh!

What's the matter Mike?

I've seen a spider.

And now Mr.

Moffat tell us what you know.

Yes sir.

I was sent by the telephone company to trace a bum connection.

I traced it down to a kind of a spooky looking place away out of town.

It was night.

Something queer was going on around there so I stuck around to get a load of

what was happening.

Is he still alive?

Bring him inside.

Quick!

Come.

I have a report for the lame one.

What is it Burke?

We brought Gordon Tracy here.

Send Tracy into me.

He's hurt, dying.

We have to chase him when he ran his car over bank.

Can you do anything about it Moloch?

If he's not too far gone I might do more than you can imagine.

Hmm.

His condition seems critical.

What if he should die?

Then we will eliminate a very dangerous enemy.

He won't die.

But by means of this operation, a simple altering.

of certain glands.

He will be unable to distinguish between right and wrong.

In that event, he will be very useful to us, Moloch.

It was no mistake in as to who they had, sir.

It was Gordon Tracy, all right.

My brother.

There's no telling what those fiends have done to him.

Listen!

brother.

There's no telling what those fiends have done to him.

You!

Get up, you two!

The spider's still in the building.

Search everywhere.

Let no one get away.

Well, I thought he was it.

I know.

Yes, sir.

Get going, Mike.

Find the spider.

When?

You come with me.

Oh, I'll find him.

Did you see anything?

Nobody's in for a lame walk.

The spider's got a bum flip.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

What are you doing, playing fireman or something?

Hey, what is this?

Say, chief, did you catch the spider?

No, I'm afraid he got away.

Come on into Anderson's office.

Hey, wait a minute.

Will you do me a favor?

All right.

Help me get this bucket off my foot.

I didn't get too good a look at the spider.

Well, I didn't want to.

It was horrible.

Oh, I think that outfit's a disguise.

The face wasn't human.

I wish there was some way to make sure.

Well, I got a picture of him.

You what?

I said I got a picture of the spider.

It's right in here.

Good work, junior.

I'll report to you in the morning, sir.

OK, Dick.

We got him.

Fred, Gordon has a mission for you.

Dick Tracy has a
photograph taken with a small camera.

That film must never be developed.

You know where Dick Tracy lives?

Yes.

Report to me when the negative has been destroyed.

Yes, sir.

We can depend on craft.

Everything set, Gwen?

Already.

I'm terribly anxious to see what those horrible men look like.

So am I.

At last, we'll know who we're after.

Turn off the light, Steve.

See that the door is closed tightly, Steve.

I'm going to turn on the red light.

All set.

Chief, you'll ruin your eyes working in here in the dark.

Did you get the picture?

No, and if you turned that light on a second later,

we never would have seen it.

Close the door and turn off the light.

I'll turn them out, Miss Tracy.

Oh, I do hope it turns out to be a good picture.

So do I.

See?

It's coming clearer.

Almost make it out.

It's coming clearer.

Any minute now.

Oh, Mike, you ruined it.

Well, I ain't done nothing.

What?

Hey, get us out of here!

Wait!

Can you turn this thing off?

I ain't ever done nothing.

I was sitting right over there.

Mike!

I don't have a thing to do with it.

I'll get the place for everything around here.

Well, there goes the best lead we've had yet on the spider ring.

Hey, Mike, you dropped something.

It ain't mine.

Don't you eat at Whitey's Chop House?

What is that, a meal ticket?

Let me see that, Junior.

Whitey's Chop House.

Looks like our unknown visitor left his card.

This may be a hot clue, Steve.

Well, why not raid the place around dinner time?

I'm not after that fellow as much as the man he takes his orders from.

Oh, you figure he'll eat you to the spider.

I don't know, but I intend giving him the chance.

But, Dick, that's too dangerous.

You can't walk right into their hands.

Well, maybe walking right to the spider's web.

When do we start?

I don't mean it that way.

You can do more good here.

Here?

It's easier to trail a man alone.

If I can follow him to the spider's hideout,

I'll contact you to bring the police and clean it up.

Well, how will you get in touch with me?

I'll show you.

Now, what in the world is that?

This is one of the latest devices to be adopted by the federal authorities.

Oh, holding that on me, huh?

How does it work?

Well, in reality, it's a radio transmitting set on a belt.

Oh, I see.

Clever.

Now, if I want to get in touch with you, I'll use our personal code.

All you need to do is have these earphones glued to your head and keep tuned in

on our regular wavelength.

I'll be sitting right here.

That's the idea.

What's good tonight?

Everything needs to go to here.

Fair enough.

I'll have the regular dinner.

Okay.

By the way, do you know a fellow by the name of Kraft?

Yeah.

Why?

Oh, I found his meal ticket.

I wanted to give it to him.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he just passed through here just a minute ago.

Leave it here with me and I'll see that he gets it.

All right.

How about the dinner?

Yeah.

All right.

Coming up.

That picture would have gone to every police station in the country.

Here's Kraft now.

You were successful?

Sure.

I destroyed the negative.

Good.

Return to Cragg's head and tell the others to report here.

I have a mission for them.

I doubt that very much.

I've been waiting a long time for this opportunity.

Don't reach any further, you.

Put your hands on the table.

Before I turn you over to the police, there's one thing I want to know.

What have you done with my brother Gordon?

If you've harmed him...

I should think you'd be getting tired, Steve, wouldn't you like a little rest?

No, I'm okay.

I'm a tow dick.

I'd stick by then.

Lanes are spreading.

This will all be ablaze in a minute.

What about him?

With the wisest to get here, we'll see that he stays.

I am up.

Get to the boat.

It's Dick.

The Marine Terminal.

Fix some trouble.

Come on, Mike.

Fix some trouble.

The rig's running as fast as you can.

I can't get very close to that fire.

You've got to.

Pick traces aboard that ship.

It's a great one as fast as you can.

I can't get very close to that fire.

You've got to take places aboard that ship.

Hold that.

You all right, boss?

Yes, but it's mighty hot up there.

Head for the big pier.

That's the nearest way home.

And there we was, creeping along.

And the spider's men was all around us.

And me, I was right behind Mr.

Tracy, a protector named.

When all of a sudden, just like a bold offender, six men jumped on us.

I bet you were scared, Mike.

Who, me?

Say, it takes more than six men to scare me.

Well, I already had three of them down.

And I was getting ready to tackle the fourth one,

when six more of them jumped on me.

And I looked all around, and there was a half a dozen of them.

Well, how many does that make, Mike?

Huh?

Oh, twenty -two.

Oh.

Now, as I wasn't saying...

Well, I only count twelve.

Now, don't interrupt me, Junior.

And then, what did you do, Mr.

McGurk?

Well, now, I know that something had to be done real quick,

or else they'd get Mr.

Tracy.

Mike McGurk.

Well, how do you do, Miss Andrews?

Oh, hello, Mr.

Oded.

Mr.

Potter.

Well, here I am again, always turning up like a bad penny.

Why, not at all, Mr.

Oded.

You're always welcome, you know that.

Thank you.

I suppose there's nothing new regarding Mr.

Tracy's brother.

Not a thing.

Gordon's disappearance remains as much a mystery as ever.

Well, I suppose we'll just have to keep on hoping for the best.

By the way, whatever happened to that engraver,

the one the spider's ring tried to kill when he refused to make the counterfeit

place for him?

Why, nothing that I know of.

He's probably still in the hospital.

That was the most amazing case.

How Mr.

Tracy rescued him and almost lost his own life doing it.

That all goes with the job of a G -man, Mr.

Oded.

Yes, I suppose it does.

Well, tell Dick we dropped in, will you?

Oh, she'll be glad to.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, mister.

Goodbye.

But the first place the spider's ring took you to, Mr.

Colder, can you give me any idea where that is?

Well, when my mind became clearer,

I discovered I could see under the blindfold.

The walls were paneled to the floor.

Must have been a rather large house to have paneled walls.

Did you see anything else?

Any of the people?

I was afraid to try, but I did see a large black cat in the room,

and I heard a man walking.

It sounded like he was lame.

Could you see his feet?

Hello, doctor.

I had to see you, Mr.

Tracy.

Well, we're losing our patient today.

How's that?

Mr.

Colder's family are anxious to have him at home.

They called me again just now,

and I agreed to let him go this afternoon on one condition,

that the bandages are not to be removed until I say so.

That suits me.

They're sending a car for you at 3 o 'clock.

I'll leave word at the desk to have you ready.

Doctor, could I see you alone in your office for a few minutes?

Why, yes, of course.

I'll be in my office.

I'll see you there in about 10 minutes.

Miss Jennings, there will be a car here for Mr.

Colder at 3 o 'clock.

Please see that he's ready.

Yes, doctor.

That's the patient in 404.

Right.

Thank you.

Hello?

They're going to take Colter out of here at three o 'clock.

Stand by and keep watch.

Report immediately if there is any change in the time.

So they're taking Colter home at three o 'clock.

They're calling for him at three o 'clock, but they'll never take him home.

Colter carries the mark of the spider,

and no man has ever borne that mark and lived.

Well, that is very true, but...

There must be no exception.

Gordon is right, Bullock.

It will serve as a warning to Dick Tracy that the spider never sleeps.

Very true,

only it is too bad that we must abandon our plan to have him make the count of

his plates.

Colter is such an expert engraver.

But he has already refused.

And that is also very true, my dear Gordon.

But I recall a surgical case,

wherein a man's nature and his mind were completely changed by a simple little

operation.

I seem to have a vague recollection of hearing or reading such a case.

The operation was on the brain.

There is nothing strange about that.

Such cases have always received considerable publicity,

if you undoubtedly read of it in the newspapers.

Then you believe such an operation would bend Coulter to our will?

I know it would.

Then it shall be done.

There is just time to countermand my previous plan and make new arrangements.

But at 3 o 'clock, Coulter will be here.

I was a big postress.

Unthinkable idea I ever heard.

I won't allow it.

As a matter of fact, I positively forbid it.

But you can't forbid it, Clive.

It's our one sure chance to trap the spider.

Good Lord, Dick, if anything should happen.

Nothing can happen.

I'll prove it to you.

Mike, get that road map off the wall.

Ha ha ha ha!

You're a lot of help.

Do it.

Well, I got the map, didn't I?

Now, let's see.

Here's the hospital.

We throw a ring of our department cars with their two -way radio,

completely encircling the hospital.

If the spider ring shows up to get colder, as I expect,

their car will be spotted by one of our guards in his description,

immediately broadcast to all the other cars.

Only one of our cars will be following the spiders at a time.

The others will be on roads paralleling the route.

Oh, I get the idea.

Then there'll be a netter on the spider car all the time.

And if they turn off into another road,

the other cars will be immediately notified over the two -way radio,

and one of them will take off the trail.

In that way, no matter how often, the spider's car changes its course,

a different car will be following it.

I guess that's a good idea, Chief.

They lead us to that spider's hangout without even knowing that we're following

him.

That's what I hope they will do.

It's a perfect setup, Dick, but the question now is,

will the spider make the attempt to get colder?

They need those counterfeit plates, and you can bank on it.

The spider will try again to force colder to make them.

All right.

I withdraw my objections, but it's against my better judgment.

This is that.

third degree burn case, Miss Jennings.

Yes, doctor.

402 is all prepared.

You may go now, Miss Jennings.

This nurse will be all the help I'll need.

Very well, doctor.

Thank you.

Hey, you're not by any chance worrying about me, are you?

Why, of course not, but...

I am a bit anxious.

The ambulance is here for Mr.

Coler.

Mr.

Coler is already to leave.

He's in room 404.

Thank you.

All right, Mr.

Coler, the ambulance is here.

I recognize that voice, Miss Andrews.

That's one of the spider's men.

There's the signal.

Stand by, everyone.

Jackson calling.

He'll be leaving any minute now.

Uh -oh.

Jackson reporting.

Power heading south.

Not rolling.

I don't see why we got the stick by the way.

I'm getting tired of being last all the time.

No use taking any chances on the Spider's men recognizing his mic.

Then there's no something was up.

Here's a descriptor of the car.

A white ambulance.

No distinguishing marks.

Speed 30.

That's a cane boulevard Jackson.

Cane boulevard.

Let's see where that is.

Here.

Here it is.

You going to mark where the G -Man cars are Mr.

Anderson?

Sure thing Junior.

There's three of them spread out over there.

Three over here.

Cars.

Spires cars right between them.

That car in back of us seems to be speaking on our tail.

I'll turn off the Chester.

Watch if it follows.

Right.

Watch if it follows.

Watch if it follows.

False alarm.

He went right by.

Car just turned into Chester Boulevard.

Going east.

That is all.

Take over.

Jackson.

All right, Jackson.

Anderson calling Fox.

Anderson calling Fox.

Come on, Colter.

You're getting out here.

Yes, it's not wise to keep the spider waiting.

Chief, you think something's wrong with the radio, Mr.

Anderson?

We should have heard from Mr.

Morris before the police.

Morris reporting.

No sign of Carl, going through Casper to investigate.

All right, Morris.

Other cars stand by for Morris.

Something's up and I'm gonna find out what it is.
