Some traffic jam, eh, driving? Some traffic jam.

You said it. Things like this make me wish I was left with traffic driving way too long,

I think. Are you from the country? No, like a dream tonight.

I know. The cab is taking beautiful and well taken.

I know, and it's a Boston blackie, and I'm taking it with you.

Well, might argue with a beautiful girl. There's a break in the traffic there. Let's get going,

driver. All right, beautiful. That's how it's going. I'm Charles Ward. I haven't

followed you in another cab ever since you left your apartment. Oh, and a traffic jam, you switch

cans. Yeah, I'd like to talk to you. Yeah, I'll caro ward him. Oh, you're also excited.

What you're wearing this morning is a zip lock which you press in the hurry. Oh, is it?

You coat his black, your handbag is brown, your shoes are blue, and your stockings are two different

shades, all of which of course means that you're excited this morning and you dress in the hurry.

Sorry, you disappointed me, boss. You sure are calm and flaky, but I always dress like this.

I'm color blind. All right, I was wrong about the reason for what you're wearing.

But I'm sure I know why you want to talk to me. You're in trouble.

Wrong again, Latin. I'm not in trouble. You are.

Whereas Boston Blackie, enemy to those who make him an enemy,

friend to those who have no friends.

Would you like to say that again, Miss Warren?

I don't know why it needs repeating, Blackie. I simply said, I'm not in trouble. You are.

Look, you and your friend Miss Wefley have a reservation for dinner at Lee Charles Chinese

restaurant for tonight. Haven't you? Great o'clock in our favorite food, number three.

Do you have to make a reservation at Charles, you don't get in?

Oh, don't go to Lee Charles tonight. Why not? Well, I get a splinter from the chopsticks.

Don't go there, please. But why not?

Miss Wefley and I both like Chinese food, and we, Charles, has the best food in town,

Chinese style. I know, but tonight Lee Charles menu includes trouble. American style.

Like you, maybe that Miss Ward knew what you were talking about. Let's not go in.

I'll tell you something, Mary. Performance Ward came to see me. I was thinking of

canceling our reservations here and taking you to Mcgolder's for steak. Why didn't you?

I was going to until I was warned not to come to Lee Charles. Then I just had to come.

Let's go in, huh? Blackie, please. Mary, please. Let's not worry about stupid things. Let's go in

and worry about our appetite. Well, all right, but I have a feeling to a hungry one.

Ladies, please. That's the first nice thing you said to me all day.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

I said empty. Not completely, Mary. We're here. Here comes Lee Charles's son.

Good evening, Mr. Blackie. Good evening. Good evening.

Hello, George. Where is everybody?

He's most strange thing. Everybody is late tonight with the exception of you and Miss Wefley.

Oh, we're always on time for your food, George. Thank you, Miss Wefley.

He's our most kind. Where's your dad, George? Don't tell me he's the cook tonight.

No, and he's most unusual, Mr. Blackie. I have not seen my father all afternoon.

Oh, no, he's funny. He's most peculiar. He's always here at six when I come to work.

When I arrive this evening, only the cook is here.

You did not come to share my troubles, only my food. You will want your usual food, of course.

Number three, you have the one you reserved for us, I hope.

It does not seem like you's the night if you're not in boot number three with Miss Wefley.

Well, that'll be as last Tuesday, if he's in boot three with a girl who isn't Miss Wefley.

I will draw the curfews for you. Thank you.

Blackie, look on the floor.

I see it, Mary. It's George, that's...

It's my father.

I guess you'd better close up shop tonight, George.

Your father's dead.

Is everything just the way it was, Blackie?

Yes, it was, Far亭.

You didn't touch anything.

Only the body, Far亭.

See, it was dead and the telephone to call you up.

You know the dead man?

Yes, he's Lee Chow, he's on the place.

He doesn't know anything anymore.

George, I guess this place will go to you now, won't it?

Yes, it will, my father's only living son.

What happened to the others, Chow?

He was only one other.

He was a member of armed forces of the United States.

Killed him, Germans.

That's your bad.

Sorry to hear that.

Who do you think could have killed your father, George?

Who was his enemy?

My father had many friends with no enemies.

Then I guess we'll have to see his friends about this.

You're not seeing anybody, Blackie.

But you're going to let me help you on this, aren't you, Far亭?

After all, I found the body.

That's why I'm taking over from here.

Oh, now, Far亭, don't tell me this is going to be that old routine again.

You're not trying to say that just because I found the body on the killer.

Oh, no, but you're coming to headquarters as a material witness.

I think I know my killer is.

You're looking at me in spectacularity.

Sure.

I look at everything when I'm on a murder case.

The rest of the work was empty when Blackie came in here.

Why?

All tables and booths are reserved.

All parties are laid with the exception of Mr. Blackie and Mrs. Wesley.

Okay, Charles.

I want you at headquarters for questioning.

But I think you're in the clear.

Then I'm your chief suspect?

I don't be so conceited, Blackie.

You're not my chief, anything.

Except nuisance.

It is permitted to answer the telephone inspector.

Yeah, go ahead, Charles.

Thank you.

Hello.

Is Boston Blackie there?

Yes, one moment, please.

It's a call from Mr. Blackie.

It's nice, George.

Probably Mary calling to see what-

Oh, wait, but why don't you answer that, Blackie?

What's the matter, Charlie?

Just wait.

George, does that phone have an extension?

Yes, Inspector, on the reservation desk over there.

Thanks.

All right, Blackie.

You can take that call, but not till I say I'm ready.

Aren't you, Cleppa Faraday?

Or are you going to do what's here, Mary, say she's worried about me?

Yeah, well, I'm listening in.

Just in case you want to see me.

I'm going to have a call from Mr. Blackie.

I'm listening in.

Just in case you say something else.

OK, Blackie.

You can take the phone from George, though.

Thank you, teacher.

And here's Mr. Blackie.

Thanks, George.

Hello.

Hello, Blackie.

Yes?

This is a friend.

Hello, friend.

What's friendly?

Thanks, Blackie.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for what?

For the job, you did.

Hey, listen.

What's the idea?

What great job, Blackie.

None of the gang could have done it better.

Hey, now wait a minute.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, he's right, Blackie.

I think you and I are going to say hello to headquarters.

Put that receiver down.

Now, listen, sorry, I know what you're thinking,

but I know what you're going to say, Blackie.

You're being framed.

Isn't it obvious that I am?

You look good in a frame, Blackie.

But you're going to look better in a cell.

Access to a portable credit helps me pay my employees,

but I don't really need it.

Inflation is killing me.

Who cares?

Big retailers are making record profits.

That's why we support the German Marshall credit card bill.

See?

Banks and credit unions help small businesses make pay

roll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits, they deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall money

grab for corporate megastores paid

for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

Come on.

No, I'm sorry.

This is the Smith-Rachis publishing company.

You must have the wrong number.

Yes, now you were seeing, Raches.

And I'm a little upset Smith.

Aren't we laying our publication an awfully long time?

Yes, we are.

But you yourself know how difficult it is to get paper.

Yes, I know.

No, I haven't just yet been able to make a suitable contract

with the printing house.

But we must Smith and Sue.

We will, Raches.

We will.

But we have to do this thing right.

If we expect to make a reasonable profit out of it.

I'm not interested in the money.

I'll make money on this, Smith and you know it.

I'm thinking you use my name because you said it would help.

But I think I'll propose because of very worthwhile enterprise.

It is.

It is worthwhile.

But let me handle this my own way.

I agree to that when you came to me with the idea.

But how soon will we be ready to publish?

Well, here's the situation.

It's an out stance.

There are probably 10,000 families in the city

who lost sons in the world.

Yes, sir.

If you come by the memory or ads in alpha,

your ads in our book. Then I'd say we were almost ready to publish.

And how many have purchased ads for their son so far? Only about 1800 dates. So you

see, if our book is to be a truly representative memorial to our war day, we must get a few

thousand more ads before we publish.

And suppose you're right. We've postponed the publication date so many times, aren't we

getting complaints from those who have already bought ads for their son? No, we aren't

having much trouble in that direction. One or two people have inquired as to when we

will publish our book, but I have said the man to explain to them that, excuse me.

Of course. Come in.

I am Mr. Smith. Oh, weaver, come in.

I, uh, don't want you to tell me to, boss. Oh, weaver, I don't think you've ever met

my partner. No. Mr. Ratti, this is Weaver, one of our solicitors.

I, uh, how do you do, honey? And he is doing a good job, too.

I'd done a great job a couple of hours ago, Smith. I took care of that lead job guy just

like you told me. Yes, that's fine. You were, uh, took care of him, Weaver.

It sounds as if you do business now. Rather, I'm friendly way.

You don't understand, Ratti. Weaver has what the boss means, Ratti.

I get what I want out of the guy. I give him what's good for him. Weaver, that'll be all.

What's your matter, boss? What are you so for? You told me to kill a guy, and I'd done

just like he says, I sure do. You did what? Not the guy off.

He was griping so much the Weaver. Come outside with me a minute.

Okay, boss, but what are you so for? You killed a man. You killed a, I don't understand.

Don't get excited, Ratti. You see, it isn't what you think at all. I'll explain in just a minute.

But you certainly will. Outside Weaver. Okay, boss. I'll be right with you, Ratti.

Yes, what's the matter? I'll just answer a few questions.

Did you kill a lead job? Sure, boss.

He was complaining about not seeing the book yet, wasn't he?

What did you do? Well, first I'd fund the guy.

Then I'd cause up all the parties with gut reservations in the joint and cancels him.

But I don't call boss and black being cancels his.

So when blacky gets the chows, he's the only one in the joint.

When he finds the body, the cops nab him for bumping the guy.

Good work, weaver. Sure. Then I'd call blacky while the cops were still there.

You like what I'd done, huh? I think you did a great job.

You were killing a lead job, yeah. It was a pleasure.

I'd done a good job, a boss. A great job, weaver.

You made only one mistake. Now what I do on it?

You talked in front of Ratti. You want any of your partners?

Don't you know we're taking those from the substance? And we never going to publish no book? No.

He thinks we're on the level. And he certainly had no idea until now that we

killed anyone who got in our way. No, boy, he's done many. He don't know nothing.

Until you told him everything.

Oh, that was a mistake, huh? Yeah. But you're last one, weaver.

I have bought, uh, what are you feeling with that gun of yours?

I'm putting a silence around it. You're going to knock off ridges, huh?

Kill ridges? No.

I'm going to kill you.

Now, ridges, where will we?

And now, back to Boston, Blackie.

Blackie and Mary Wesley have a reservation for dinner at Lee Charles.

But a mysterious Carol Ward warns Blackie not to go to the Chinese restaurant.

So Blackie goes.

There, he finds the restaurant empty and Lee Charles murdered.

While Faraday is investigating, Blackie receives a phone call congratulating him on a fine job.

Meanwhile, Lee Charles' real killer is himself shot and killed by his boss.

As we return to our story, the boss's partner Rogers is telling Carol Ward about the death of Lee Charles.

I just had to come up and see you in as much as you work with Smith and Lee, Miss Ward.

Even though I know it's terribly late at night.

That's all right, Mr. Rogers. I was awake when you called.

I'm very glad you said you would see me because I just had to talk to someone and you're the only one I feel like in trust.

What's the matter?

Miss Ward, I'm certain you'll be as appalled by this as I was.

But Mr. Smith ordered one of our salesmen to kill the client of ours who was complaining.

What?

Yes, a man named Lee Charles was shot and killed by one of our men.

A fellow named Weaver.

Weaver killed somebody?

What?

It seems like this Lee Charles was complaining that we were delaying the publication of our book too long.

I know we're delaying.

There's a reason for the delay, but we don't kill clients who complain Weaver.

Mr. Rogers, you're sure that Weaver killed Lee Charles?

Yes, the worst of it is that Smith, my own business partner, ordered this Weaver to kill him.

What?

And where she had this ward, I'm afraid Smith has now killed this fellow Weaver.

Oh, good head.

Well, Miss Ward, we aren't in legitimate enterprise dealing with businessmen.

We're mixed up with a gang of cutthroats and killers.

Well, what do you think we ought to do?

Call the police, of course.

Do you think it's safe?

If this man Smith has killed two people already, if you think nothing of killing two more,

we can get to the police at once, we'll be safe.

I guess you're right.

Mr. Smith, are you here?

No, no.

I need sure no one follow me.

I'm sure Smith doesn't suspect we're doing this.

I guess you're right.

I'm sure the police will be safe enough.

I'll call the police right now.

Oh, good.

Oh, you'll know the number.

Oh, it's on the front of the phone booth here.

Oh, oh, yes.

Smith brought you a publishing company.

Hello, police department?

No, you have the wrong number.

Yes, I want the police department.

This is Carol Boyd.

Carol, what's the matter with you?

I'd like to stick to the man in charge.

Oh, you're in charge.

Fine.

I need to tell him everything, Ms. Ward.

I will, Mr. Rogers.

Carol, Rogers is up there.

What for?

It's about the murder of Lee Chao.

I know who killed him.

What?

Who told me, did you say?

Well...

Hey, you can tell him it's all right.

Mr. Rogers told me all about it.

He's here now.

He knows who killed Lee Chao.

A man named Weaver.

And he knows that Weaver is dead, too.

A man named Smith killed him.

It's going to the police, is he?

Yes.

If we both come right down, if you want us to.

Or would you rather come up here and talk to us?

Hold him there, Carol.

I'll be up right away.

You send your man up right away?

Yes, Carol.

Keep busy like it there.

I will.

Goodbye.

Are the police coming up here, Ms. Ward?

I'm worried.

In a few minutes, you'll have nothing to worry about, Mr. Rogers.

Believe me.

Look, Carol, how much longer do I have to sit in your office and look at that dumb face?

You tell me what you know about Lee Chao's death, Frankie.

I told you all I knew five minutes after we got here.

I don't know who killed him or why he was killed.

Well, give me a good answer to just this one question, will you?

Why did you find a body?

Because I was the first one in the restaurant.

I have said that before.

Well, it's the truth.

All right, answer this.

Why did that friend call you up and say you did a nice job?

To frame me, of course.

Find him, Faraday, and you'll find the clue to Lee Chao's killer.

Yeah.

Can I get out of here, Ronald?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Yes, Ronald.

He's busy as usual and getting nowhere as usual.

Right, Frankie.

You mean it, Inspector?

I mean it.

Fine, I don't complain when I won't talk.

You'll talk.

You'll never get out of here.

Ronald, are you still standing there?

Yes, Inspector.

And I think I have something you want to know about.

All right.

Make it brief.

Now, Mrs. Chao's Rogers just called up, said her husband is missing.

You interrupt me in the middle of a murder case to tell me that.

Wait a minute, Inspector.

I've got a complete description of the guy and what he's wearing written down here.

Ronald's high out up there.

He was wearing a tan soap, tan snap rim hat, brown top coat, brown shirt,

and a red and brown polka dot tie.

I don't care if he was wearing no tie or a rope around his neck.

I'm investigating a murder.

And you have the nerve to come in here.

Inspector, here's the thing that's important.

No.

This Mr. Rogers' life says when she last heard from me was going up to see Boston Blacky.

What?

Going up to see me?

Yeah, to see you, Blacky.

And his wife's afraid something's happened to him.

Well, nothing's happened to him.

I haven't been in my apartment all night.

He's probably just up there waiting for me.

Come on, Blacky.

We're going up to your apartment.

We don't want to have this missing guy missing any longer.

Faraday, what makes you think Rogers is still waiting for me?

I just have a hunch.

That's all.

Come on.

Let's go in.

Faraday, one of these days your hunches are going to bend you double.

After you.

Mm-hmm.

See?

I told you to still be here.

What do you know?

I'm asleep on my best couch, too.

Hey, Rogers.

Wake up.

Sure, that guy sleeps like a dead man, Blacky.

Seems to me, is it?

All the private.

He sleeps like a dead man because he is a dead man.

Look at that bullet wound.

Uh-oh.

Well, this is one you can't blame on me.

I've never seen this guy before or heard of him.

And I've been in your office most of the night.

Yes, I know.

This guy hasn't been dead more than a half hour.

I wonder if he's really the missing man.

This is who he is to me, Faraday.

He answers his wife's description.

Tan suit, tan sniper, and hat, bronze.

Hot coat, bronze shirt, and green and brown polka dot tie.

Yeah.

That fits all right.

I guess I'll have to call Mrs. Rogers.

Wait up, buddy.

Mm-hmm.

Do you have Rogers' description of Rollins' rope down for you?

Sure.

Here.

Top page on this pen.

Let me see it.

Thanks.

The description fits.

Yes, I'll call headquarters and have Mrs. Rogers wrap it up.

Hold it, Faraday.

The description doesn't fit.

Not quite.

What do you mean, not quite?

According to the Rollins' note, Mrs. Rogers' describe her husband's tie

as being written brown polka dots.

Look at it, Faraday.

It's green and brown polka dots.

So what?

Maybe Mrs. Rogers' color blind.

Maybe?

But someone I know is definitely color blind.

Carol Ward.

Faraday, when we found Rogers' body here,

I didn't think it had any connection with Lee Chao's murder.

But now I do.

And the connection is a girl named Carol Ward.

Can you get the apartment door open, Frankie?

Yes, if you'll keep your back turned.

I don't want you to know any of my secrets.

All right.

Are you sure this is Carol Ward's apartment?

Well, we found Rogers' address in his wallet.

And Carol Ward's telephone number on the desk pad at his house.

Your telephone crossbar outside.

Oh, OK, OK.

I guess we got the right place.

It's all as good as open, Faraday.

Hi.

Now it is open.

We can take away and cancel it.

Someone might be waiting for us in here.

I ain't got it, Faraday.

I made enough noise to mean the lock.

Is there anyone here out the window?

Yes, you did.

Well, the way the light switch is.

I think I have it.

Thanks to me and Mr. Radisson, we can see what we're doing.

Yeah.

What are we doing?

Waiting.

And with the door open too.

Maybe we better close it.

Sure.

You know Faraday, I have a hunch Rogers was killed in this apartment

and then taken over the mine.

Yeah?

Makes you think so.

Just a hunch, that's all.

Maybe if we look around it,

oh, somebody's coming.

Let me handle this.

Hi, Faraday.

I'll be behind this curtain switch.

Hello?

Hello?

Mrs. Rogers?

I'm not glad to.

What are you doing up?

What did you call me?

Mrs. Rogers.

You are Mrs. Rogers, aren't you?

OK, get that idea.

I'm Miss Carol Ward.

You said you were Mrs. Rogers when you called the police.

I'm not Mrs. Rogers.

I never called the police.

I think you'd better get out of here before I call them now.

I'll call them myself in a minute, Miss Ward.

To arrest you for the murder of Charles Rogers.

You get out of here.

I don't know anyone named Rogers.

No.

Then how did this blood get on you, Skit?

What?

Right there, Miss Ward.

A large blood stain.

It shows very red against the blue material.

Yeah.

I can't see it.

You can't see it, Miss Ward, because you're colorblind.

But I'm not blind to colors or anything else.

I see it, and the police are going to see it too.

Please, you've got to believe me.

I didn't kill Rogers.

Miss, Dad.

Who's Smith?

My boss.

He killed Weaver too.

That's why I had to kill Rogers.

Rogers was going to the police to tell him about Smith.

All right.

Smith killed Rogers.

Who's this fellow Weaver?

He killed me, Charles.

Why?

Smith told him to.

To keep Charles from going to the police.

Missed the one who won.

I knew he ordered Charles to be killed.

And I knew he killed Weaver.

I saw him kill Rogers, but I had nothing to do with any of the dad.

You're going to have a lot to do with Smith dying in the electric chair.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Look.

You told me this much.

Tell me the rest, and the police may go easy on you.

I won't tell the police anything.

I want you?

No.

And what can you do with what you know?

Just help Inspector Faraday of the police.

Remember your story?

Come out from behind the curtain and take a bow, Inspector.

Daddy Blackie.

Tell me your story.

Where were you?

All right.

Just sit in my knee like a good little girl.

Oh, great, anything.

Now, what story would you like to hear tonight?

Three bands?

Oh, no.

I would like to hear the story about the three murders.

All right.

Once upon a time, in fact, just a few hours ago, a big dumb but lovable cop named Faraday,

a bad little girl named Carol Ward, telling where he could find a very bad man named Smith.

Ooh.

What Smith?

Very, very bad.

Bad luck.

Yes, yes, daughter Mary.

He was very, very bad.

He was selling memorial ads to people who lost sons in the war.

He was promising them to publish these ads in the book.

But the awful bad Mr. Smith was going to keep the people's money and never publish the book.

Oh, Daddy Blackie.

He was going to scram with the dough, wasn't he?

What?

Oh, language.

Yes, he was going to scram with the dough.

Well, did he?

No, he didn't.

Because a very handsome brave courageous and brilliant young hero named Boston Blackie caught him before he could get away.

Ooh, how hero.

Was it exciting?

Very exciting.

This handsome and brave and brilliant Boston Blackie pulled a gun on the very bad Mr. Smith,

and with a dumb but lovable cop named Faraday took him off to jail.

How bad luck, Mr. Smith.

Very.

He put a dead man's body in a handsome Boston Blackie department,

and the very bad man had Carol Ward phone the police to put the blame on Blackie.

But luckily Blackie and Faraday were together when the call came in.

Gosh.

And the very bad Carol Ward first warned Blackie not to go to Leech House,

knowing the fact would make him sure to go.

It seems this bad little girl was very colourblind.

So later to make her confess, Blackie said there was blood on her skirt,

and because she had a guilty conscience, she looked.

And was there a blood stain on the bad little girl skirt?

No.

The handsome Boston Blackie was telling a white little girl.

Gee, this guy's not going.

And what happened to the money the very bad Mr. Smith took for me and his and people?

Every cent of it is going back to me.

And that's how the story ends, huh?

Yes, daughter.

Except that everybody lived happily ever after except Mr. Smith and Carol.

And they are going to live very happily or very long either.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees,

but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

Who cares? Big retailers and making record profits.

That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill.

See, banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

Ms. Bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits, they deserve it.

Don't they?
