Now listen to you guys, we're in the prison laundry safe.

Right through that door is the prison arsenal.

All that stands between us and the arsenal is that guard and that door.

Stop talking too much about the goal.

Shut up.

And the rest of you guys stop staring at me.

The guards look in this way and where some goofy things we're talking.

There you are.

Get this, red is at the dryer by the door.

As soon as the guards back us turned, he's going to let him hammer the handle off the dry machine.

Smith, you'll get the keys off the guard, open the door and we'll be on our way in 10 seconds.

Now we've got, red, red get the guard, come on, come on, get that door open, Smith, get it open.

It's open but I tell you what, come on, let's get to the arsenal before the guards can get to us.

Come on, we're getting out of here, let's get out of this jail.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's get to the arsenal.

They must have killed the guard there.

I hope not, I'm going to let them hammer it.

Hold it.

We've got to tuck it in the cell block, eh?

Good.

We can get them bottled in there, they're letting it get out.

Yeah.

Hey Harry, look, there goes one of them, over the east wall.

It's my card and I think, I'm on, let's go after them.

The guards need fall to take care of them, we can stay here, get in there.

Hey, there's a phone, get it when you're on.

Okay.

Okay.

Hello.

The guard's safe, safe.

What?

Okay, thanks.

Who was that, John?

That's cool, Harry.

We've got to bottle up and block it.

Everything's under control.

But that guy goes over the east wall and got away.

He did it?

Who wasn't it, they know?

Yeah, it was Mike Harlan, Harry.

One of the guys was a guest of ours, thanks of Boston, Blakey.

And now on to Dick Calmer as Boston Blacky, enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend

to those who have no friends.

Please, headquarters, Faraday speaking.

Inspector Faraday, I think I might know something you'd like to know.

Yeah?

Who's this?

That ain't important, but my information is.

What's important about it?

Mike Harlan busted out of prison yesterday, didn't he?

And you're looking for him, ain't ya?

Yeah, sure I'm looking for him.

Well, I think I know where you can grab.

Yeah?

Where?

Boston Blacky sent him the jail, didn't he?

Yeah, yeah, so what?

So I figured that's where Mike Harlan is headed.

To settle a little score, as soon as the heat on him dies down.

What makes you think so?

A couple of minutes ago, I saw him hiding in an alley, two blocks, and we're blacking this.

Yeah?

Well, why are you telling me this?

I don't like Harlan.

Yeah, well, if...

Hello!

Hello!

Well, he would hang up.

Run!

Run!

Yes, Inspector?

Get me a squad car quick.

We're getting out to Boston Blacky's fast.

Blacky!

Blacky, open up!

I tell you, Inspector, there's nobody in there.

Maybe nobody alive.

Come on.

We're gonna break down the door.

Okay.

All right.

Come on, shut.

Again, shut.

One more oughta do it, Inspector.

Okay, so you gotta know.

Hard.

Oh, Dennis.

Come on, Ronan.

Come on.

Where Inspector, there's nobody in here.

I got eyes.

Maybe Blacky's in another room.

Maybe.

Come on.

Let's try this room in here.

Okay, but I don't know.

Let's try this room in here.

Okay, but I hope we're not too late.

Don't away.

Blacky!

Are you in here?

Blacky!

Hello, Inspector.

You know my colon here.

Harlan!

Inspector Harlan's got a gun on her.

All right, Harlan.

Grab that gun before I drop you.

Drop it!

Okay, cover.

Drop that gun, I said.

How is that, Chopper?

Suit you okay?

Man, I don't move.

Get his gun, Ronan.

I've got him covered.

Hi.

Go ahead and play, children.

I'm enjoying this.

No, I keep him covered, Ronan.

That's why I get his gun.

Hey.

Ready yourself, Chopper?

Yeah, sure.

I'd probably get a tin whistle for this.

It was so hard to do.

Take him in, Ronan.

Get him out of here.

All right.

Too bad I didn't get to finish that job, Blacky.

But I may be back.

So long.

Goodbye, Harlan.

Too bad you couldn't stay long, yeah.

Well, Faraday?

Well, Blacky.

What do you want me to do, Faraday?

Kiss your hand.

No, but you might say thanks.

Thanks to a telephone tip for one of Harlan's old enemies.

I just got here in time to keep Harlan from killing you.

Oh, that's right, you did.

What do you mean, that's right, I did.

Didn't I bust in here and catch him holding a gun on you?

Yes, you did, Faraday.

All right.

All right.

I do the same for you sometimes.

And thanks for getting here so fast.

Harlan wasn't here five minutes before you broke in.

Look, I didn't come up here to save your life.

I came up here to capture and escape criminal.

Too bad I had to do both at the same time.

Hey, how did he happen to get a gun on you?

Hey, jealous, Faraday?

You should be.

Come to think of it, you've never been able to get anything on me.

Well, Mary, Faraday is now under the impression he saved my life.

Though I guess I do owe him something at that.

So do I, Blacky.

And for the same reason.

Aren't you wondering why I was a little late calling for you?

Oh, at first I thought you had trouble getting this cab,

but after all you were only an hour late,

that's practically on time for you.

You didn't really mind, did you?

I didn't, for the doorman, did.

I was outside too long, I made 35 cents on tips, opening taxi doors.

I'd want my cut, but I'm too pleased with the way you look at it.

I do not look any differently tonight.

Maybe it's that dress you're wearing.

No, isn't it?

Not particularly, I got it this afternoon.

It's all a five hours old.

Doesn't look at age, doesn't.

Well, it's just my size, so there isn't room for a wrinkle.

Tell me why you're wearing an evening gown, Mary.

Listen, my Blacky, and you shall hear.

This afternoon you call to say you were taking me to a very lovely place tonight.

It is now tonight.

I am dressed appropriately for the very lovely place.

The place isn't that lovely.

Well, thank you.

You're being extra-special sweet tonight, darling.

You wouldn't have a reason, an extra-special reason, by any chance.

Oh, and Mary, how can you even think such a thing?

Oh, that's all I wanted to know.

All right, out with it.

The deal to drive up town for dinner is all off, huh?

No, I'd say it was, well, the postponed temporary.

You know, that's what I like about us.

Plan subject to change without notice.

Too bad this dress isn't.

The dress is very attractive, Mary.

Well, in as much as it's becoming increasingly apparent that I am due for a disappointment,

you'll have to do better than that.

Try again.

Very well.

The dress is...

Oh, wait, isn't that good?

On the contrary.

What there is, of it is terrific.

Well, then you should have made the whistle shorter like this.

And now I hate to be in prison, but where are we going?

To a place downtown known as the Traveler's Bond.

The Traveler's Bond, what's that?

Believe me, it's all to your credit, but you don't know.

It's a combination placed joint and dive.

But I got to go there tonight.

Oh, all right, darling.

Only I won't say I'm not disappointed.

In fact, there's only one thing that could possibly make this situation worse.

What's that?

If you were going to the Traveler's Bond to meet another girl.

Funny you should mention that, Mary.

That's exactly why I'm going there to meet another girl.

You know something, Blackie?

If you didn't tell me, if I kept my eyes closed and if I couldn't smell anything,

and if I couldn't hear anything,

I'd swear we were at the cotton instead of the Traveler's Bond.

Mary, I think you're a snob.

The Traveler's Bond has only the finest red and white checkered tablecloths.

So bad, I don't feel like playing checkers.

I wouldn't want to play anything with the mob in here, take a look.

Well, to tell you the truth, I'll be happy if they stop looking at me.

Darling, must we stay here?

It's a place, give me the creeps.

We won't have to stay much longer.

I pointed out the girl I came down to see tonight.

She's very attractive, too.

And you'd see how young she was if she'd scrape some of that warp paint off her face.

Anyhow, I can't go over to see her until that character there leaves.

I'll put a whammy on him right now.

Whammy!

Whammy.

How long do your whammy take before they work?

That all depends on how much on the job my private TV is.

Of course, right now I think he's probably out to dinner.

Just my luck.

Well, at least you're feeling better, that's something.

I suppose, but hey, wait a minute.

Suppose the young lady you came down here to see won't talk to her.

Have you ever known a girl who wouldn't?

For the sake of your conceit, no answer to that.

But you say you wanted to do something for you.

What if she won't?

Have you ever known a girl who wouldn't?

Doesn't count the accepted.

Don't answer that.

Hey!

Hey, the whammy's working, what do you know?

That man just left the girl's dinner.

I hope you had a fine meal.

You'd like one for me when you talk to him again.

Okay, I will.

Now you go over there and show me how good you are.

Right.

Excuse me please.

I'll excuse you.

But if coming down here doesn't do you any good, I'll never forget you.

I'll remember that.

Hello?

Are you Gladys Holland?

Could be, Hanson.

Mind if I sit down?

I don't, but Joe might.

Only he doesn't happen to be around right now.

I imagine that's an invitation.

And if it is, that's accepted.

Nice.

Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere before?

Now that's a purely masculine line of solemn.

You know, I beg your pardon, Miss.

But haven't I seen you somewhere before the Riviera, perhaps, or the Orits, or can?

I have seen you somewhere, and I've heard you talk too.

Is that important?

It could be.

Just in case.

Well, just in case I ever wanted to get in touch with you.

What about this, Joe?

Hello?

The one who might object to my sitting here with you if he happened to be around right now.

He's still headman.

Hi, you're not fat, good answer.

Not this fat, you're not.

Who are you?

Boston Blackie.

First?

So that's why you look familiar.

I should have remembered your face.

I've hated it long enough.

I've got to talk to you.

Sure, sure, but I don't have to listen.

You sent my old man to the pen, Blackie.

Feed it now before you give this place a bad name.

Well, what's keeping you here?

If you remember me, Gladys, you also remember that I pretty nearly always do the things I set out to do.

Sure, I remember that.

You set out to send my father to jail when you did.

Well, what do you want from me?

Congratulations.

If I hadn't sent him, Gladys, someone else would have.

Yeah.

What?

Get down.

Everything okay?

Yeah, Joe.

I can handle myself.

Okay, now.

I want to see in my office as soon as you do.

Yeah, Joe, right away.

Look, Gladys, I want to talk to you.

Go ahead, make with a monologue.

Oh, would you do something for me?

Sure.

If I could kill you if I sent him my old man to jail.

Look, forget about your father for a minute.

I have to know you're heading for jail yourself

if you don't get out of the gang you're running around with.

I don't know what you're talking about.

But I do.

And I want to do something about it.

It's you, huh?

What do you want to do?

Send me to jail, too.

I get lost, you.

And I guarantee no one will ever go looking for you.

Now back to Boston, Blackie.

Mike Harlan, sent to jail by Blackie,

makes a successful prison break

and heads straight for Blackie's apartment.

Inspector Faraday gets a tip that Harlan is at Blackie's

and gets there just in time to find Harlan holding a gun on Blackie.

Harlan is returned to jail.

And that night, Blackie takes Mary to a waterfront dive,

the traveler's barn to see Gladys, Mike Harlan's daughter,

who has joined an underworld gang.

He tries to get her to do something for him,

but she won't even speak to him.

As we return to our story, Blackie is in Mary's apartment,

trying to find a way to talk further

and he escapes from big stories.

Blackie, why do you even bother thinking about Gladys

after the way she treated you?

Because she's not half as tough as she pretends to be.

She's just in with a bad lot and thinks it's smart

to do the things they do.

Has she been with him long?

No, that's why I've got the stopper before it's too late.

Yes, but look, darling.

How do you even know she's mixed up with a gang?

Isn't it obvious?

Oh, yeah, I suppose it is.

So you better tell me.

And that now, but I have to know that Joe character

and his gang are not to pull something soon.

If I only knew what it was and where.

Why don't you call Gladys up and ask her?

Hello, it is Ryan,

and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?

Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic,

doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know,

all the mundane stuff.

Get the phone book.

Look how Gladys hot.

Oh.

Well, all right, but I don't get it.

How are you going to get it at 12?

Like this.

Hey, is everything okay, he'd love.

But you're meditating now.

Joe, the owner of the barn.

And obviously, also Gladys' boss.

Oh, here it is.

Oh, I see what you're going to do.

Let's just hope she's home and this works.

Got a number?

Mm-hmm.

H-A-1, 2, 1, 3, 8.

And kind of forget it immediately after you dial, too.

Now, I wonder why you said that.

Hmm.

Ah, Blackie.

That Joe Tristan has a little blackish-dash.

Won't you wear him a stash when you talk to her?

Don't you want big help?

Do you want me?

Here he goes.

My fingers are crossed.

You really on my side?

Cross my heart.

Your fingers and your heart.

Kind of a double cross, isn't it?

Hmm.

Hello?

Hey, Dow.

Is everything okay?

Oh, it's you, Joe.

Sure, why not?

Well, I was just wondering, see?

You sure you get your instructions, okay?

Why sure, Joe?

Hey, yeah.

I'm glad you're sure.

But I ain't see.

I'm nervous about you.

Well, I'll tell you what I'm supposed to do then.

Hey, maybe a better.

Well, I'm supposed to get the car at 8 o'clock tomorrow night

and drive it to the cross-queue road in Highway 17.

Yeah.

Then I'm supposed to park it on a little side road off to the left.

You and the boys will be on the other side of the road.

They'll be a barricade across the road.

And I'm just supposed to do that.

And I'm just supposed to sit there until the armored truck comes along.

Yeah?

As soon as I see the lights of the armored truck,

I'm supposed to stop my engine and keep it running

until you and the guys get through with the truck.

Uh-huh.

That is fine.

I know what I'm supposed to do.

Hey, you're a good dog, lad.

It's just a place safe.

Keep away from me in a gang truck tomorrow night, see?

See you then, Dow.

Okay, Joe.

Night.

Did it work?

That worked, Mary.

The accident must have been perfect.

I should have been an actor.

Well, all I can say is if you were one,

it'd be a good actor.

Thanks, pal.

Now I've got to make some plans to interfere with the plans

of a gang of bad actors tomorrow night.

Take dirty, Joe.

What time's the armored truck split them along?

Right about now, Tony.

Just keep your shirt on.

It'll be a long end schedule.

The boys just split out alongside the road.

Glad is Scott here with the car, okay?

It's packed over there on the trees.

Yeah.

And I'm glad this is a good dog.

I'm glad he's in with us.

He's taking an awful chance.

But knowing that I pick him all like just on a face job,

ain't you, Joe?

Yeah, but we had to have somebody to get the car all set to drive.

His job was taking all of the boys so we need to see.

Oh, yes, he opens you.

Hey, look, Joe.

Here comes the armored truck.

Good.

As soon as it runs the curb in front of us, the driver will see the barricade

who'll have to slow down.

Or maybe start.

Yeah.

And we run up on a tossed a 9-200 and boom,

she's split open like a ripe watermelon.

The truck's here, boss.

The driver's seen the barricade.

Slow and down.

Okay, let's go.

Brought a mate to run on the truck.

Tony toss it quick.

There it goes.

Add up.

Boy, that'll do it.

Good, did it.

She's split wide open.

Come on.

All right.

Have the dough out of the back to you guys and beat it to the car.

Come on.

Hurry it up.

Okay.

That's it, Joe.

Joe, we got it.

All right.

Come on.

Let's go over this way.

That glass must have knocked off the guards.

They ain't firing at us.

Hurry it up.

We'll hear our cars wait.

Okay, doll.

Get set the step on it.

Okay.

I'm all set.

Everything go all right, Joe.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Yeah, it was a cinch, right?

It's me and the gang got all the tools.

All right, finally you guys.

Let's go.

Okay.

Step by the car.

Okay.

Back to town fast.

I can't wait to count this stuff.

Joe, Joe.

We did it, huh?

Oh, it was a cinch.

Joe was not doing it.

I did all right on my first job, Joe.

You were great, doll.

Great.

Hey, Joe.

Look at the road ahead of us.

It's barricaded.

The place is full of cars.

A hundred of them, Joe.

What do we do?

Drive right through the barricaded?

Turn back.

We'll be the other way.

We can't force our barricaded enough.

We're stuck in a road behind us, huh?

You're right.

Oh, Joe, what are we going to do?

Nothing we can do, doll.

Slow down and stop.

We're giving ourselves up.

I want to live a little while longer,

even if it is in jail.

All right, quiet, everybody.

Quiet.

This is a police line, not a portable show.

But I want quiet.

We're ready with the prisoners, Inspector Faraday.

All right.

Start with the first one.

Girl, day, area, soul, lane.

Inns, rugby, Peterson, areas.

Lane Peterson.

Nine arrests.

No convictions.

Wanted for robbering murder.

A guard net, I'm a truck, was killed.

All right, O'Day.

What have you got to save yourself?

I ain't talking, Faraday.

You will, later.

Okay, step down, O'Day.

Let's have the next one.

Where is Harlem?

No aliases, no arrests, no convictions.

Wanted for robbering murder.

All right, Miss Harlem.

What have you got to save yourself?

I...

I don't have anything to say.

You know you're going to face a murder charge

for what you've done, don't you?

I know it.

But you can't prove it.

What do you mean I can't prove it?

You're guilty and you know it.

Now, why don't you play it smart and admit it?

Why should I?

Because I'll prove it anyhow.

That'll go easy on you if you talk.

All right, I admit it.

What do you admit?

I admit everything.

I drove the car for the gang.

But I didn't know anyone was going to be killed honestly.

That doesn't make any difference.

A god in that armoured truck was killed.

And if you drove the car for this gang,

you're just as guilty as if you killed that guy with your own hand.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

Okay, step down.

Come here, come here, Miss Harlem.

I want you in my office.

Rollins, bring her over here.

Sure, Inspector.

Here she is.

Thanks, Rollins.

I'll take her in my office.

You take over here.

Sure, Inspector.

All right.

What are you going to do with me?

Plenty.

All right, go on, go on, get in there.

What place is this?

What happens to me now?

Maybe a lot is going to happen to you, Miss Harlem.

That depends mostly on you.

What do you mean?

You'll find out.

Sit down.

I said sit down.

All right.

That's better.

Well, you're in sort of a jam, aren't you?

Yes, as I guess I am.

What do you mean, you guess you are?

I mean, I know I am.

But I didn't know it was going to be like this at all.

I thought it'd be smart to join Joe's games.

I thought it'd be clever.

But I know it wasn't now.

Oh, you do, huh?

Yes, and I shouldn't know it before.

I should've learned a lesson from what happened to my father.

That's right.

Look at him.

He's in jail.

And why?

Because he was smart and thought he'd get away with it.

Well, he didn't get away with it.

So I didn't either.

I know it now.

A little too late, huh?

Yeah.

A little too late, Inspector.

I guess I've got worse coming to him than came to my father.

Oh, if I could only go back 24 hours and know what I know now,

I wouldn't be in this mess.

No, you wouldn't.

And as a matter of fact, Miss Holland, thanks to one man,

you wanted a mess.

Oh, not in the mess.

What you're in that buzzer for?

I'll answer that last question, Ladis.

You rang for me.

Blacky.

Yes, wasn't blacky.

But you see more, it was glad to see me.

Well, I am blacky, but I'm afraid it's too late.

Oh, I don't think so, Ladis.

You heard the inspector say you aren't in a mess.

But I am.

I was mixed up in that robbery, and a guard was killed.

You weren't mixed up in anything, Ladis.

And a guard wasn't killed.

In fact, there were no guards in that armoured truck.

I've set the wheel and jumped 50 yards before the barricade.

They were?

No, Miss Holland.

And you and your pals didn't steal anything either.

That armoured truck was empty.

Empty?

Yes.

What your pals' store was bags of slugs and a box filled with dirt.

But how did it?

It's all very simple, Ladis.

After you told me all about your plot and hold up, I...

I told you about my party.

Yes, when I called and asked you to run through the instructions.

You thought I was Joe when I said,

Hey, down.

I want you to run through the instructions, see?

It was you?

Yes.

And after that, I went to the armoured truck company, told them what I was...

Well, what was going to happen?

And Friday, and I framed this whole thing together.

Well, then Joe and the gang hadn't been arrested either.

Oh, yes, Miss Holland. They were under arrest.

I've been looking for him in that gang for a long time, for other things.

They're going to jail.

And where am I going?

Over here, Gladys. Straight out of here.

If you know what I mean.

Gladys, why did you want to help Gladys, Holland?

Well, Mary, remember when I told you that Friday caught my colon

her father and my apartment with a gun on me?

Mm-hmm.

Well, he wasn't pointing that gun at me to kill me.

But so that one Friday broke in, I wouldn't be accused of harboring an escape company.

He wasn't going to kill you.

Well, then what was you doing in your apartment?

Well, he hid through the prison grapevine that his daughter was getting mixed up with a gang.

Oh, and he wanted to keep her from joining.

Yes, he even had a come up to prison to see him.

But she wouldn't listen to him.

Jesus, you'd think she would have though, wouldn't you?

Her father was in jail because he was caught by the police.

Yes, but she told him she was too smart to be caught.

That's when he decided to come to see me.

Oh, and I know why he didn't go to the police.

Because all they do was send her to prison.

Yes, and he didn't want back.

So he broke jail and came to see me hoping that I could do something with her.

Well, that covers everything I guess.

And so does that lovely evening wrap your wearing.

Right, thank you, sir.

You sure be an attraction tonight.

Thank you.

Look what I'm wearing underneath.

Good night.

A checkered skirt and a spried sweater.

What do you think you're on your way to?

To the travellers barn, of course.

Mary, we're going to the Carlton Plaza.

And I said you'd be an attraction.

Wow.

At the Carlton Plaza in this outfit, Jackie, I won't be an attraction.

I'll be a sensation.
