Police Headquarters.

Oh, yes, Dillon.

I'll notify Dick
Tracy at once.

Calling car 15.

Car 15.

Car 15, Patton speaking.

Contact Dick Tracy at once.

Have him go to the
Flawless Fur warehouse.

Dillon reports some
shenanigans busted fuse

Box in the garage.

Then tell him
to call then tell

Him to call an
electrician, not Dick Tracy.

Now wait a minute, Pat.

The night watchman's
disappeared.

It might be homicide.

Oh.

That's different.

I'll tell Tracy right away.

Roger.

Pennies for a blind old man?

Pennies for a blind old man?

Hello, Sightless.

Is it a nice night?

Lovely night.

Thank you very much.

Hey, Jigger.

Come here.

Well, what's on
your mind, copper?

Where's Tracy?

The back room,
snooping around.

Say, why don't you bloodhounds
hold your convention

Some place else?

We like the
atmosphere around here.

It's so wholesome.

Looking for me, Pat?

Yeah.

We had to make a call.

Oh.

Find what you're
looking for, Tracy?

No.

And see that I don't.

I understand Hatchet Harry's
been hanging around here.

Why, that's a big mistake.

Say, you know I run
a respectable joint.

Do I?

Come on, Pat.

Come back again, Sr. Tracy.

Bring the folks!

Pennies for a blind old man?

Sightless, I want
you to do me a favor.

What is it, Sr. Tracy?

I want to know what's going
on in Jigger's back room.

Sr. Tracy, you know
I can't see a thing.

Keep your eyes
open, will you?

$5.00.

He put that coffee on
while I was in here.

Ten minutes later
when I came back,

The coffee was boiling over.

The lights were out,
and there was no Hawks.

Did this watchman ever
leave the job before?

No.

I'm sure of that because
he was a most reliable man.

That's why I'm afraid
something happened to him.

What did you do after
you called Headquarters?

I called Sr. Humphries b he's
the owner of the place here.

Because all the
doors were unlocked.

Did you take a look
around the inside?

No, I thought we best wait
till Sr. Humphries came.

Let's see what
happened to the lights.

Those fuses were
yanked out on purpose.

See if you can dig some up,
Pat, so we can have some light.

Right.

Who's that?

It's the police,
Sr. Humphries.

Well, you gave me a scare.

I guess everything's
all right.

There's a fortune in furs
in that vault tonight.

This is Detective
Tracy from Headquarters.

You better take a look
inside, Sr. Humphries.

I'd rather wait
to open the vault.

You see, when Officer
Dillon phoned me,

I reported his call to
my insurance company,

And, uh, their representatives
are going to meet me here.

We're here, Humphries.

This is Sr. Tracy of
Police Headquarters.

How are you?

I'm Peter Premium,
Vice President

Of the Honesty
Insurance Company.

This is Sr. Cudd,
my investigator.

He's not just
from Headquarters.

That's Dick Tracy.

Homicide.

That's right.

Say, Dick, I think
I'll go out to the car

And see if I can get a radio
pickup on that night watchman.

OK, Pat.

May I have the combination
now, Sr. Humphries?

Certainly.

Well!

It's cleaned out.

Yes.

It's cleaned out.

And the ink is hardly
dry on your policy.

Cudd, I want a thorough
investigation of this.

So do I. I've never
had a robbery before.

It's a strange coincidence that
as soon as I switch insurance

To the Honesty
Company, I have one.

Are you insinuating that.

Wait a minute.

Move your foot.

Looks like we've got robbery,
and you've got your homicide.

Sr. Humphries, may I have
an inventory of your loss

With a detailed
description of each item?

We can give you that.

There's something wrong
about the watchman being

Slugged or killed
inside the vault.

Something sour about
the whole business.

How many of your employees
know the combination

Of the vault, Sr. Humphries?

None of them.

Oh, Dick.

Dick, I got a radio report.

The night
watchman's turned up.

Where is he?

They've got him
down at the morgue.

He's dead.

I better go with him.

I'll check with you later.

The medical
examiner told us not

To move him until you
got here, Sr. Tracy.

I see.

Is that him, Cudd?

Yeah, that's the night
watchman, all right.

Where was the body found?

On Macy near Grand.

Apparently thrown
out of a car.

Did that kill him?

No.

He was dead when
he was tossed out.

He was killed by a vicious
blow that split his skull.

As you can see,
it's pretty ugly.

Hm.

Looks like he'd been
hacked with a cleaver.

I don't think so.

A cleaver wouldn't tear
the flesh like that.

Well, it's a cinch it's not
a bullet or a knife wound.

Here's what he had on him.

Hasn't been fired.

Nope.

Poor fellow never had
the chance to use it.

Well, there's not much here.

Hey, there's writing on it.

What?

Well, it isn't very clear.

What do you make of it?

Offhand, Greek.

I'd say it looks
like uh like, uh.

Like what, Pat?

Like scribbling.

We'll take a closer look
at this in the laboratory.

Thank you very much, Bill.

When I photographed this,
I darkened all the letters

So it would be
reproduced more easily.

Now we take the first word.

First letter is D.
Second letter is an A.

And the last letter is
definitely Y. Now in between,

It could be an N. Well,
it could be anything.

Does Danny mean
anything to you?

Not yet.

D, A, I could be an
S Y. Could be Daisy.

Now let's take a
look at the next word.

T- H-R-U.
Thru.

The next one is easy.

It's got to be "of."

And the last one definitely is
T- H-E-N. Or that could be an M.

It must be "three of them."

Hawks must have been
trying to tell us

That three men did the job.

Now if we'd only figure
out this first word.

D A
I- S-Y.

Daisies.

Three of them.

Three daisies.

Now we're getting
into poetry.

This last scribbling looks
like a license plate number.

6, 7... no, that could be a T.
6, T, N, 2, something, something.

Whenever there's a T in a
license plate number, it's.

A truck.

You're right, Pat.

Then maybe he meant there
were three daisies on a truck.

No, he would have
written three daisies.

"Daisy" and "three of them"
indicate two separate ideas.

I think Daisy was
the name on the truck.

And there were three
guys driving it.

Yes.

I think that's it.

Now let me have
that, will you?

Certainly.

Thank you very
much, Collins.

Johnson, put this
on the air right way.

Get it out to all cars.

Yes, Sr. Tracy.

Calling all cars.

Be on the lookout
for a truck marked

Daisy driven by three men.

License plate number
6TN2 blank, blank.

Wanted for
robbery and murder.

Go take care of that sign.

Right.

That ought to do it.

The dough better
be waiting for us.

Cats!

Cats!

That guy don't think
of nothing but cats!

Come on.

Pennies for the blind?

Pennies for the blind?

Bless you.

Pennies for the blind?

Pennies for the.
Pennies for the blind?

Hey, you!

Look, Sightless.

How many times do
I have to tell you

Beggars aren't
permitted in here?

How many times do I got to
tell you I ain't no beggar?

I'm a merchant.

Well, what are you
doing in here, merchant?

Uh, I'm looking for
two customers of mine.

Well, can you
show them to me?

No, I.

Well, then they're not here.

Come on.

Hey, wait a minute!

That's a funny one.

Waiting around gives
me the jitters, too.

I want my dough,
and I want it quick.

I want to blow this town.

It ain't ready yet.

Will you stop playing with
that cat so I can talk to you?

Go ahead.

Talk.

The cat don't mind.

Oh, you're such a
smart, ain't you?

You couldn't just hit that
night watchman over the head,

Could you?

You had to get fancy
and tear him up.

Now the whole Homicide
Squad's on our tail.

Can't the boss get
rid of this stuff?

Nobody will touch it now.

Hot furs are bad enough.

But he's got to tie
them up with a murder.

We'll never get
our dough now.

Never.

All because of you and
that itchy hangnail.

You can't use your
brains, can you?

Instead of your brain, you've
got to use that hunk of steel

Like it's some
stupid animal.

I know what's the
matter with you.

You're a killer, Claw.

You're nothing but a
crazy, stupid killer!

Yeah?

No.

Sure, boss.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be there.

The boss have good news?

He found somebody
who was interested.

Wants to see
the furs tonight.

There.

You see, Sam?

We're going to get
our dough after all.

When are you going?

I gotta be at the end of
Hemp Street in an hour.

There's someone
in the alley.

I was only going to.

Leave it there.

Hemp Street.

Hemp Street.

Please, mister.

Please.

I didn't do nothing.

Please, mister.

Let me in, somebody!

Please, let me in!

Yeah.

What's going on out here?

You gotta let me
in there, mister.

No one's allowed in here.

Beat it.

But mister, somebody is
going to kill me, I swear.

He's right down there.

Now look, old man.

You're drunk, and I'm busy.

So beat it, will you?

No, no.

Go on.

Beat it.

No, I tell you.

He's there
somewhere, mister.

Please, let me let me in.

Please let me in, mister.

You still hanging around?

I was just going, mister.

Well I'm going to stay
right here until you do.

Oh, that'll be fine.

Thanks, mister.

Thanks.

You stick around.

I'll be right out.

OK.

Softly now, the
fair Ophelia.

Nymph, in thy orisons.

Be all my sins remembered.

No, no, Vitamin.

Not like that.

No?

My dear Tess, after 49 years in
the theatre, you're telling me?

Oh, Dick probably
forgot his key.

You let him in, Vitamin.

But don't tell him I'm here.

Something tells me this is
what you've been waiting for.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Oh, egads, what
have we here?

Where's Sr. Tracy?

Sr. Tracy buys his fresh
fruit from a dependable dealer,

Thank you.

But I've got to see him.

It's important.

Uh, you shall not
cross this threshold

Until you've been
thoroughly disinfected.

Take your
presence elsewhere.

But mister, you
don't understand.

I've been through
enough tonight.

Well, you're not
going through here.

But look, mister.

Tell him it's
about the furs.

They're going to meet
the fence at the end

Of Hemp Street
in half an hour.

I wonder what that
cab was doing here.

It must have brought Tess.

She said she'd
be over tonight.

But Vitamin, he might
have been important.

What's importance could
Dick Tracy possibly

Attach to an
impecunious peddler?

Oh, Dick, at last.

Hello, Pat.

Hello.

Sorry to be late, Tess.

How long have you been here?

Three acts of
"Hamlet," going on four.

Greetings from the
melancholy Dane.

Just in time
for me soliloquy.

Before you go
into that, Vitamin,

Who was in that cab
that just left here?

Oh, merely a person
of no consequence.

Vitamin said he
was a peddler.

Yes, a peddler with
the most grandiloquent

Name uh, Visionary, I
believe he called himself.

Visionary?

Could it have
been Sightless?

Did Sightless stop by here?

Stop by?

He practically stormed the
gates like a Trojan army of 12.

But I held the
fortress, didn't I, Tess?

Look, Vitamin.

Sightless is no
ordinary peddler.

That is your opinion.

What did he say?

Why, I made a point of
forgetting it immediately.

Look, Vitamin, Sightless
wouldn't have come here

If it hadn't been important.

What did he say?

Well, in a quaint
language all his own,

I believe he mentioned
something about something

Was going to happen at the
end of some street in some half

An hour.

Oh, that's great.

What was going to happen?

I think he said somebody was
going to build a fence there.

Build a fence?

Fence?

Maybe it has some
connection with the furs.

Yes.

Yes.

He said something
about furs, too.

Vitamin, Sightless
said somebody

Was going to meet
a fence, didn't he?

I suppose that makes sense.

It certainly does.

Now look, try to remember.

At the end of what
street did he say?

Let me think.

Let me meditate.

Ha.

Methinks he said it was at
the end of uh Flax Street.

There's no such street.

Or something like Flax.

Uh, Rope?

Uh, Flannel?

Crepe Chine?

That's gabardine.

Rope.

Flax.

Could it have
been Hemp Street?

Hemp Street,
that's more like it.

Hemp, Flax, a rope by any
other name would smell.

Vitamin, see that Tess gets
home all right, will you?

Enchanted.

I'll see you later.

Come on, Pat.

Longshot Lillie.

So she's in the
fencing business.

Do we surprise her?

No, not yet.

What we're interested in
is who's going to meet her.

Hey.

She's not going to wait.

Dick Tracy.

You're not running out on your
date on my account, are you?

Do you think I make
dates on street corners?

I I just stopped for a
moment to light a cigarette.

Is there a law against it?

No, I guess there isn't.

Then I'll be on my
way, if you don't mind.

Could I give you a lift?

No, thanks.

I'll give you one.

Pat, you can
drive Lillie's car.

She's coming with me.

Right.

What are you trying
to pull, Tracy?

You can't treat
me like a criminal.

I'm a lady.

A lady with a date.

Who were you going
to see, Lillie?

Nobody.

I told you I had no date.

Well, you have one now.

Let's go.

What were you doing
on Hemp Street?

I told you.

I was on my way home.

I stopped for a few
minutes to have a cigarette.

Then why were you so
startled when you saw me?

Force of habit, I guess.

Every time I see a cop, I
want to get out of his way.

Look, Lillie, you and I both
know what you were doing there.

What's wrong with
parking on Hemp Street?

Ordinarily, nothing.

But two people were
to meet there tonight

About a little
matter of hot furs.

Somebody was going to
buy them from somebody

Who had them to sell.

I'm not interested in furs.

I've got all I need.

And anyway, what
would I buy them with?

That $60 you've
got in your hand?

Lillie, did you lose
anything tonight?

No.

Well, then I'm a rich man.

Look what I found.
$20,000 stuffed

Under the front
seat of her car.

Is it yours, Lillie?

Certainly it's mine.

I I won it in a
poker game tonight.

Hm.

Some game.

You're barking up
the wrong tree, Tracy.

I'm no criminal.

Poker, yes.

The races, sure.

Longshot Lillie, that's me.

Gambling's my dish,
not fur robberies.

OK, Lillie.

But you'll have to tell
me who lost the $20,000

And also who
was in the game.

I'll tell you that.

Maybe.

On a witness stand.

Well, give Lillie a chance
on the witness stand.

Book her on
suspicion of murder.

Murder?

You're bluffing, Tracy.

Not a bluff, Lillie.

A watchman was killed
during a robbery tonight.

You can't pin a
murder rap on me.

Then start talking.

All right.

I'll tell you what happened.

Some guy called me
tonight and asked me

If I'd be interested in
some hot furs dirt cheap.

I said yes.

He said he'd call me
back later, so I waited.

And you called him back?

You don't catch me
on that one, Tracy.

I don't know the guy so
I don't have his number.

He called me back.

He said to show
up at Hemp Street

With the dough somebody
would meet me there.

Somebody did meet
me there, all right.

The rest is history.

Who was it that
called you, Lillie?

He didn't take the trouble
to introduce himself.

Who was it?

I swear, Tracy, I don't.

Look, Lillie, you're
in enough trouble

Without shielding
a murderer.

Who was it?

You've got to
believe me, Tracy.

You've got to.

The guy was an
absolute stranger.

I don't know how he happened
to call me, but he did.

I've got a reputation.

I play long shots.

Even you know that.

I take big chances.

People know it.

It gets around.

Lots of guys know about me,
but I don't know about them.

That guy could
have been anybody.

Anybody.

Believe me, Tracy, I
don't know who it was.

I swear I don't.

Turn this over to
the Property Clerk.

Hold her as a
material witness.

This way, please.

You know something, Dick?

I don't think she's lying.

Maybe not.

I'll have Sightless
take a look at her.

Anyway, we'll have
to find out from him

Who was in that back room.

Who's there?

Dick Tracy wants to
see you at Headquarters.

OK.

Just a minute.

You're not from Tracy.

No.

Just brought back something
that belongs to you.

Take them.

They're yours.

They're your
trademark, Sightless.

Thanks.

I found them in the alley
back of the Blinking Skull.

No, no.

No, I wasn't there.

You had to tell
him, didn't you?

No.

You had to stool to Tracy.

No, I didn't see him.

I.

The first door
beyond the stairs.

Sightless.

He's gone, poor
guy, just like Hawks.

I didn't see anyone
come out as we drove up.

Then there's a chance we've
got him trapped in the building.

I'll call Headquarters and
have the block surrounded.

Do you suppose he was making
a phone call when we drove up?

Could be.

How do you like that?

He slugged me.

If you weren't my friend, I'd
say you had it coming to you.

Why didn't you wait until
we had the block surrounded?

You know, I was just
wondering that myself.

Anyway, I winged him, and I know
now what he used to kill Hawks

And Sightless.

I was coming up the stairs.

Tell me about it
on the way down.

He has no right hand.

There's an iron hook
attached to his forearm,

And that's his weapon.

I saw it, and I felt it.

Maybe you're right.

Come on.

I want to show
you something.

Look at these scratches.

They're brand
new, aren't they?

Say.

He uses that hook for
everything, doesn't he?

It must have been
an important call,

Or he would never have
stopped to use this phone.

You're right.

As a reward for your
good work tonight, I'm

Going to give you a
nice, safe job finding out

Who he was calling.

You mean me?

That's right.

I'll explain
at Headquarters.

I'll tell you what these
scratches give us, Pat.

What's the first
thing you do when

You dial a telephone number?

Why, I, uh look
for a nickel.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, I dial the exchange.

That's right.

You dial the first two
letters of the exchange.

Well, these scratches appear
only in the first two holes.

I get it, Dick.

The exchange the killer was
dialing has got to be here.

Correct.

In checking a list
of exchanges, you'll

Find there's only one
exchange with a combination

Of these letters.

B, A for Banning.

But what about these
other two scratches?

That's even simpler.

Since they appear
in the first hole,

The killer could only have
been dialing a number one twice.

Then we know the number
the killer started to dial

Is Banning one, one,
something, something.

Now all we have to do is
find the complete number,

And we'll know who the
killer was trying to call.

But there's lots of telephone
numbers that start that way.

I know.

Uh, dozens maybe.

Sure.

Maybe even as
many as a hundred.

Mhm.

And that's why I'm
giving you the job, Pat,

Of finding the exact number.

You mean, you want me to call
every number starting with

B
A-1-1?

Now, look, Dick.

Pat, and start in.

But Dick, who do
I say is calling

And who am I supposed to be?

A guy's got to
know those things.

I can't just walk
into something blind.

Find anything, Donovan?

I think this is
it, Sr. Tracy.

Yeah, that looks like
the bird, all right.

Mhm.

According to this, he hasn't
been around since bootleg days.

Used to be a
hijacker, Coast Guard

Cut around him.
Lost his right hand

And crippled his right leg.

Yep, that's him.

Did a stretch in the pen.

Only been out
about six months.

Calls himself
a lot of things.

But his most popular
name is the Claw.

Well, Pat, I guess that's
the answer to your question.

Yep.

Shall we send out
a pickup on him?

No.

Not yet anyway.

The Claw isn't
in this alone.

Furs aren't in his line.

He wouldn't know how
to dispose of him.

Any ideia who
the higher up is?

I'm depending on
Pat to tell me that.

You mean you want me
to imitate this guy?

Use your deepest
barrel, Sr. Patton.

There's your telephone.

Now I guess you're all set.

This is the Claw speaking.

No, no, no.

This is this is.

Pat!

Hm.

This is the Claw speaking.

See that he keeps
that pitch, Donovan.

Right.

And let me know the
minute you get results.

Yes, Dick.

I mean, uh gotcha, boss.

Hello.

Tess!

Dick, Vitamin's
grieving dreadfully.

I feel that you
ought to speak to you.

What's the matter with him?

Well, his conscience.

The news about Sightless
came over the radio

And well, dear, I told him
that we all felt bad about it,

But take a look
for yourself.

Snap out of it, Vitamin.

It' true you did send
Sightless away from the house,

But you don't.

If I hadn't, he'd
still be alive.

The solution to
your entire dilemma

Was on the lips of that peddler,
and I silenced them forever.

Now I needs must
atone for me crimes.

But Vitamin, there's
nothing you can do now.

Nothing.

There's nothing so
difficult to do as nothing.

What is it, Dick?

Vitamin, there is
something you can do,

But I don't
know whether you.

But to me no but, sir.

Put me to the test.

Hello?

This is the Claw speaking.

I quit.

Wise guy.

What did they say this time?

This is the Claw, huh?

Then go scratch yourself.

Insults.

That's all I get.

A man in my position.

Uh-uh.

I'm sorry, Pat,
you're in my custody.

Orders from the Chief.

He just called.

Where was he calling from?

Home in bed?

No, he's on his
way to Humphries.

What do I care where
he was on his way to?

Well, that's so
you'll know where

To report to him after
you've located his man.

Then ask him where he'll
be a year from Thursday.

Let's see.

Where was I?

Oh, Tracy.

Good evening, Sr. Humphries.

I hope I'm not too
late for a call.

Certainly not.

Come in.

Thank you.

Sit down, Sr. Tracy.

I, uh, suppose if
you had any good news,

I wouldn't have to ask you.

That's right.

I had hoped to recover
your furs tonight,

But something went wrong.

You mean they're
still in the city?

I'm sure of it.

And we hope to get them
back for you shortly.

Please don't take
offense at this, Tracy,

But tell me frankly.

Did Premium ask you to come
over here and tell me that?

No.

Why should he?

Well, tonight the period of
grace for the insurance company

Expires.

And they have to produce
either the furs or the money.

You think they'll stall
on their settlement?

It was just an ideia.

What I really wanted
to ask you was,

How long has it been
since the combination

Was changed on your vault?

The insurance
company insisted on it

Being changed when
they wrote the policy.

Who actually
made the change?

I don't know.

Uh, Cudd brought a
serviceman over with him.

Well, thank you very
much, Sr. Humphries.

Yes, sir.

I hope to have some
news for you soon.

OK.

And the same to you,
with many unhappy returns.

Dick just called again.

He seems
disappointed with you.

I'm not too happy
about him either.

Hello?

Hello, this is
the Claw speaking.

It's about time you called.

Hey!

He knows me!

What number did you call?

I don't know.

I'll have it traced.

Keep talking.

What do I say?

What do I talk about?

Furs, women, anything.

Uh, yeah, I'm still
on the line, boss.

Well, you see I.
I couldn't, boss.

I ran into a little trouble.

Donavan!

He hung up.

What number did you dial?

I don't know.

Well, think.

Think.

I can't think.

You can't think?

No, no.

Fine, fine.

Fine.

Oh.

Hello, Tracy.

Hello, Cudd.

Who is it?

I'm Tracy.

Remember me?

I found your corridor door
open, so I walked right in.

Keeping rather unusual
business hours, aren't you?

Did you find out anything?

Did you know that somebody
changed the combination

On Humphries' vault
shortly before the robbery?

Mhm.

One of the conditions under
which we wrote the policy.

It's not unusual.

It should be done
periodically anyway.

Do you know the
new combination?

I do.

I went with the serviceman
that did the job.

Do you know it,
too, Sr. Premium?

Yes.

As a matter of fact, I do.

Say, what are you
driving at, Tracy?

Are you suggesting that Cudd
and I are in on this robbery?

I'm not suggesting
anything yet.

But somebody provided the
thieves with the combination

On that vault.

Shall I take it?

No, I'll answer it.

Hello?

Yes.

Oh, I can't go
into that tonight.

Have him call
me back tomorrow.

Is that the Claw?

Who's the Claw?

He's a two time killer, and
he's got Humphries' furs.

He tried to sell
them to a fence,

But something went wrong.

Well, if you know who he
is, why don't you arrest him?

I don't know where he is.

And as he failed in
contacting the fence,

I thought he might call
you tonight and offer

To sell the furs back at a
big cut under their real value.

Well, we did have
such an ideia, but we

Didn't know who had them.

Tonight's our deadline, and
if we don't get the furs back,

We'll have to settle
with Humphries.

An experienced fur
thief would know that.

The Claw has no
experience with furs.

But the man behind him has.

Pat.

Pat, what in the
world happened to you?

I've got it, Dick.

I've got it.

You've got what?

The man higher up.

Banning
1-1-2-6.

Well, who is it?

Humphries.

Well, how do you like that?

The guy figures to collect
$100,000 on his policy

And still have his furs.

Are you sure of this, Tracy?

I'm sure.

And I've got a crooked
finger to approve it.

It adds up, Cudd.

Humphries is counting on you
buying back the furs tonight.

Sure.

He gets his furs
back in the morning,

Plus his cut of the dough
we pay to get them back.

Then Tracy, why don't
you do something?

Why don't you lock him up?

No.

Let me get my hands on him.

By locking him up now,
you risk losing your furs.

And we might never
catch the killer.

But Humphries can tell us
where the furs are hidden.

Don't you think he'll deny
his connection with the crime?

That means a trial, giving
the killer more time than ever

To skip town with the furs.

That sounds reasonable.

Well, then what do we do?

You and I are going
to stick right here.

I'm more certain than
ever now that the killer

Will give you
a call tonight.

You and Pat pay Humphries
a friendly little call.

Right.

I think I'm going
to enjoy this.

You know, Tracy,
I got to admit it,

I'm kind of glad you
dropped in here tonight.

Hello?

Is, uh, he back there?

I'll see.

No, he ain't in.

That's funny.

He's supposed to make a very
important call for me tonight.

Why, Cudd, I didn't expect
to see you here tonight.

Any news about the furs?

Plenty.

Well, Humphries, one of the
first rules of our company

Is to always keep
our clients covered.

I don't know what you mean.

Step inside.

Just a minute now.

He's not here.

Come on.

He's got to be
here somewhere.

Hey, he's here.

He's drunk.

Let me see.

He's not drunk.

He's been hurt.

Well.

Looks like he had another
cat to mark to his collection.

Is he dead?

Well, just about.

Hey.

It looked to me like he had time
to call the insurance company.

Maybe we ought to help him.

I've had some experience
knocking out bullets.

But why waste the time?

Look we're in the
perfect set-up here.

It'd be twice as much
dough in it for us

If we call the
insurance company.

Just you and me.

Yeah, but what's going to
happen when he finds out

We double-crossed him?

Eh, by that time we'll
be seeing the world.

Come on.

That guy and his cats.

I'll.

Maybe your hunch
was wrong, Tracy.

There could have been
a slip-up somewhere.

Hello?

Is this the Honesty
Insurance Company?

Yes.

Who am I speaking with?

Peter Premium.

Who's this?

Never mind who this is.

Look.

How'd you like to get
them Humphries furs back

Tonight, huh?

All right.

Listen carefully.

$50,000 back of the
Blinking Skull half an hour.

Come by yourself.

$50,000.

Back of the Blinking Skull.

And I'm warning you.

No cops.

I understand.

No cops.

Now what do you
know about that?

Back of the Blinking Skull.

Are you going, Tracy?

Alone?

You heard what the man said.

No cops.

Good luck.

Buy a pencil from
a poor blind man.

Buy a pencil
from a. Prithee,

A random shekel for
a myopic mendicant.

Peasant.

Egads.

It is now the very
witching time of night,

But not a suspicious
character in sight.

Methinks I have
failed Dick Tracy.

Hey, Sam.

What's the matter?

Look.

What?

Sightless.

What's the matter with you?

You believe in ghosts?

Come on.

Yeah, but.

I said, come on.

Hey.

Buy a pencil from
a poor blind man?

We're expecting someone to
show in about 15 minutes.

Let him in.

And no one else.

OK, Sam.

Oh, with my most
profound apologies.

On your way, brother.

We've got to draw
the line somewhere.

No moochers.

That epithet is
applicable only to him

Who is afflicted
with impecuniosity.

Come again?

I haven't left.

There, keeper of the hooch.

OK, name it.

Fetch me something savory and
salubrious, concocted perhaps

From citrus grown in
the gardens of Grenada,

Chilled with the
snows of San Barreda.

Uh, served in a chalice.

Sorry, bub, we
ain't got any.

In language comporting with
your intelligence, lemonade.

Lemonade?

Dear me, doesn't anyone
understand English anymore?

Come on.

Smile, kid, smile.

Another few minutes, you and me
is going to be $50,000 richer.

Somebody winged you, huh?

Just a scratch.

I've been out cold
for a while, though.

I, uh I think you ought to
let Jigger take a look at that.

He's pretty good
with them things.

I'll be all right.

I think you ought to
take him to see Jigger.

OK.

I've got to stick around.

You can't go
around like that.

I've done it before.

I think Sam is right.

You ought to have
that looked after.

You guys sound like you're
trying to get rid of me.

Oh, no.

No, you're wrong.

Sure act like maybe a black
cat ran across your path.

You're wrong about me, Sam.

I can.

Claw, it had nothing
to do with you.

I had nothing.

No, Claw!

No!

I I didn't want to hurt you.

No tricks.

Yes?

Boss?

This is the Claw.

I just wanted to tell you
somebody from the insurance

Company is on his way down.

I'll take him to the
junkyard on Primrose Street.

We'll have our dough
in a few minutes.

And, uh Boss, uh, we'll only
have to split it two ways.

Fine, Claw, fine.

What's the matter?

Something wrong?

No.

Everything's swell, Claw.

Everything's swell.

It's a frame-up!

I've been waiting for this.

OK, Jigger, you
lead the way.

Lead the way where?

Hey, you cops can't
shove me around.

I run a respectable joint.

We'll talk that over
in the back room.

Get going.

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Oh, Dick Tracy.

I'll be right
with you, Vitamin.

OK, Jigger, where'd he go?

I don't know, Tracy.

I know.

I heard everything.

Uh, the furs are
in the junkyard on.

Not Black Street.

Uh, no.

On Primrose Street.

Vitamin, I'll make you
Police Commissioner for this.

Call Headquarters and
have them send a squad car.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, these pipes
are hot, Tracy.

You better get used
to these, Jigger.

I know you're there.

Come out.

I couldn't get that
Police Commissioner's job

For you, Vitamin.

No?

That's filled for a while.

This is to show
our appreciation.

Haven't you anything
to say, Vitamin?

For the first time in
my life, I'm speechless.

You know, I think we should
give you a badge more often.

Oh.

Oh.

Fortunately, I happen to have
a little speech of acceptance

With me.

"My dear friends,
to write of them..."

Vitamin, I have a
table reserved for us

At a nearby restaurant.

Suppose you save that
speech until then?

Oh, Dick, how nice.

Dancing?

Why not?

Tracy, I'm glad
you're still here.

I just got a report
on Hatch Harry.

What about him?

One of our men spotted
him in the freight yard.

Sorry, Tess.

Come on, Pat.

Oh, Vitamin, you won't mind
taking Tess to dinner for me,

Will you?

Don't you need me?

I think we can manage.

Sometimes I wish I'd been
born a super criminal.

Why, my dear?

Because then I might get to
see something of Sr. Dick Tracy.
