The national broadcasting company presents the amazing Mr. Malone. An exciting half hour of mystery starring George P3 as the lawyer who's practiced before every type of bars become a legend. Our locale is the city of Chicago, the time the present, and the hero of these weekly adventures. The amazing Mr. Malone.

2:07Malone's the name. John Jay Malone, attorney and counsellor at law. You know, it's often said that no visit to Chicago is complete without taking in the field museum, the stockyards and yours truly. And as you probably guessed, I'm the one who often says it. My hobby is collecting cliches. Tonight I'd like to chart out for your inspection, the little number that goes. A strong offense is the best defense. As a case in point, I give you Steve Kempere. Mr. Kempere is the stockier of the two gentlemen getting out of the elevator on the fourth floor of Belvedere. The owns the Banger Club, the luscious gambling joint this side of Vegas. And if you're wondering why Steve keeps petting his right hand coat pocket as he marches along, that's because he's carrying his life insurance there. But obviously, as associate Curly Michaels doesn't approve of that policy. Don't like it, Steve. I don't like it one bit. Then maybe you better wait downstairs, Curly.

3:07Oh, look, Steve, I didn't mean it that well. I did. It's a close friend will it gets tough? I only hope he does. Okay, I'll be done in a long time. Now you better make it in the car. I may want to leave real fast. I got you. Oh, is it room service? Yes, it's back. Hello, Willard. Wait a minute. I'm even willing to wait too, but suppose I do it inside. Who the devil are you? Kempere's the name Steve Kempere. I take it you've heard of me. Who hasn't? I was in your joint a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice layout you got there. My daughter isn't bad either. Vicki. I don't follow you, Kempere. No. You didn't waste any time following her. Maybe the shoes on the other foot. Maybe she's the one who did the chasing you. Check that back. Daisy, fella. You're going to stay away from Vicki, do you understand? No, she'll think you're being a little melodramatic. That type of father went out with East Lim. I'm warning you, Willard. You're warning me. Did it ever occur to you I might be in love with Vicki? Oh, don't make me laugh. What about your wife?

4:07Vicki knows all about my shoe. Does she know all about your other women? Francis Carson, Paula Lewis, Norris Stone. Shall I go on? You're going to do some research. Uh-huh. Love, Kempere. I know I'm no bargain. But neither's your daughter. What did you say? You ever do any check in there? Would have paid you. We're two of a kind right out of the same deck. Maybe that's why she's got it for me. Are you dirty? No, you. Get to it, I got it. Drop it. I'll kill you. Come on. Yes. Are you old, ghost? Come on, I'm not drop it. Only a lot of one sense for Carson. You want to play rough? Well, too complete like that. And I got a hunch on my life better at this game than you. Come on. I'm telling you, Steve, you should have stopped up first to see a doctor before I brought you home. I said no, Keri. Keys are in my side pocket. I got them. It's the small one. Someone would think I was never here before.

5:08Who is it? Only me, Vicki. Me and Keri. Help me in the bedroom fast. I don't want to. Uh-huh. Too late. Well, aren't you a lovely sight? I had an accident. Yeah, yeah. It was all my fault, Vicki. You see this car was coming. I got a lying, Keri. I just finished talking to Willard. And you know? Yes, indeed. I know. I'm only sorry. He didn't kill you. Vicki. I'm mean. Oh, no, honey. That's no way to talk. You're old, man. It's not. Look, baby, whatever I tried to do. Whatever you tried to do. Why can't you mind your own business? Well, if you knew what he said about you. And every word was true. Vicki. Every single word. And you know why? Because you've always spied on me. Because you never let me do anything I want. No, that's because it's gone. Don't say it. It's because you were afraid I might take after my mother. Well, I don't blame her for running off. That's enough out of you. I can imagine what it must have been like being married to you. Always watching, always spying. That's not true. I don't know how she stood it as long as she did. Well, I've had my field, too. I'm going to live my own. Vicki, where are you going?

6:09Vicki, come back. Maybe I haven't handled it right, but whatever I do. Vicki. I'm going to live my own life. I'm going to live my own life. I'm going to live my own life. I'm going to live my own life. No one home. I swear. OK, I'm coming. Hello, Malone. Do I know you? I think so. Well, the voice is familiar, but I can't place the face. What happened, you're old one? That's not funny, Malone. Well, my writer goes to bed at 3. Can I come in? Look, Steve, you know my office is in the Prescott building? Sure. You're never there. Why didn't I think of that? Sit down. Thanks. I want to drink. You look like you could stand one. No, I'll pass, but don't let that stop you. What never does? I'll come right to the point, Malone. For my money, you're the best lawyer in Chicago.

7:10Never mind a con, Steve. What's on your mind? Vicki is running around with a wrongo. Party named Willard Grant. I tried to break it up tonight. Are putting your face in his fist? Yep. Obviously, it didn't work. No. What do I do now? Well, legally, you can't do a thing. You can't force a man out of town because you don't like the way parts is here. There's nothing to prevent you from arriving at an agreement that'll affect the same thing. What do you mean? I am off. Suppose you went to this willard and laid it on the line. Now, if I were handling it, why don't you? You get him to agree to leave Vicki alone. I'll pay whatever fee you think is fair. Look, Steve, I hate like the devil. I'll tell you this, but your little Vicki. Suppose we leave her out of this. You take her, Willard. I'll take her, you. How much can I offer him? Can grand. You don't care how you spend my money. What? It's just a bad joke. I figure I left most of that door at your place trying to make a seven, the hard way with two, three and a half. OK, Steve. Make out your check. I'll do what I can. Yes?

8:14I beg your pardon. What for? You haven't done anything. Not yet. But I'm afraid I made a mistake. The desk clerk told me this was Willard Grant's room. Nothing. Nobody was talking about. Well, if you're the hotel chambermate, I'm moving here myself. He would be wasting your time. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. I'm going to go to the room. He would be wasting your time on staying at the Stockton, Mr. Malone. John Jay Malone. Not the amazing. Ain't it awful? Well, this is a pleasure, Mr. Malone. I can't tell you how much. You've got company, Willard. Thought you were going, mushroom. I was on my way, darling, when I ran into this gentleman. It's been real charming, Mr. Malone. I stood against him sometimes. You said the Stockton. I said the Stockton. And the name? Marsha Grant. Oh, then you're his wife. Yes. But don't let that stop. Lovely girl. I'm glad you're prouled. You're someone we thank you too, don't get along. Well, then. If they judge by appearances. I think you gathered my name as Malone.

9:15So? I'm a lawyer, Willard. I represent Steve Kemper. Get out. At first, I'd like to show you something. Well? Well, I'm impressed. One way ticket to LA on the Super Chief and a check for $10,000. You know what you can do with it. Don't be a sap friend. It's as high as Steve will go. You won't get any more through Vicki. How would you like a punch in the nose? How's that? What's the matter? Don't you think I can? Let me fill your muscle. Look, Malone. Yeah, I guess you could. Okay, Willard. Don't break yourself. I'm practically on my way. Bagger, Clem. Steve? Yeah. Alone, I just saw a boy with a grant. And? He threw me out. How much does he want? Brace yourself for a shock, Daddy. I think he's in love with our Vicki. Oh, don't talk like an idiot. It does seem impossible, doesn't it? Well, he wasn't interested in $10,000. Okay, Malone.

10:15Thanks, anyway. What are you going to do? I don't know yet. I'll let you know when I make up my mind. Yeah. I wonder if I have the right party. Are you Willard Grant? Yes. Well, this is indeed a pleasure, Mr. Grant. You don't know how I've looked forward to this. Who are you? Leslie Brett. So, you've never heard of me. I don't have to spoil your day, little man. Chicago's full of people I never heard of. I suppose that's true enough. All right, what's on your mind, Leslie? Well, I've been asked to deliver something to you. I wonder where did I put it? Oh, here it is. What's the idea of the cannon? Handsome, isn't it? I call him Marvin. You have a little... I wish you wouldn't take this personally. Believe me, I have nothing against you. Thanks. I mean that sincerely. You sent you here anyway. And I you couldn't expect me to divulge the name of my client. Steve Kempfer, wasn't it?

11:16Please, don't press me, Mr. Grant. Much as I'd like to oblige. Look, if you don't put that thing away, I'm going to take it and ram it down your throat. I think you'll mean that. I most certainly do. Well, in that case... You'll have to forgive me, Willard, but I can't stand being touched. You're listening to the amazing Mr. Malone. In years gone by, immigrant ships used to dock in New York, filled with the people who had heard legends in the old country about opportunity to be found in America. Well, they soon found out that in America, is everywhere else, money, and the things money can buy don't grow on trees. It's our American economic system which sets our standard of living. It's important for all of us to know just how this economic system allows works, as opposed to any other. So here's a thought for today. Why not do a little reading up on the workings of our economy?

12:18Go to your library and find a good, easy text and study it. You'll find it helps you to understand the important issues of the day. And now, back to the amazing Mr. Malone. So, like they say in Time magazine, death with a little 45 came for Willard Grant at the ripe old age of 34. But the first time knew of it was some 12 hours later. I was relaxing in the steam room at Gus's getting a massage. And out of the fog, I heard a familiar voice and it rubbed me the wrong way. That's a lovely back he got there, Malone, and wouldn't I love to plant a knife in it. That wouldn't be Lieutenant Brooks, would it? When a bet, come on, Malone, it's time to be amazing. What are you babbling about? We've got to fill a downtown as crying for your services. Steve Kemper. And what Steve alleged to have done? Oh, that's what I love about you, Malone. You're so legal. What's your ledge to have done? There's nothing alleged about it.

13:18He killed a boy named Willard Grant. You mean Willard's dead? Well, most people generally are when they've been murdered. And you think Steve did it? And I have fooled. You certainly are. Come on, I want to talk to him. Oh, no, you've done. Look, look, I'm Steve's lawyer. You can't stop me from saying it. I can if you insist on going like that. Hmm? Put your pants on, Malone. Or don't you care how people pull? I tell you, Malone, I didn't kill Willard. You've got to believe that. Oh, I do, Steve. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. Oh, I do, Steve. Lieutenant Brooks is the boy you got to convince. Go on, Steve. You want to try, I did. But I'll be a sap Brooks. Where's his motor? Oh, you're joking, of course. Don't you think we know he sent you around to get rid of Willard and Steve made an attempt on Willard's life yesterday? Well, one time was Willard killed. And three this morning. Three AM. Yeah. And that lets me out. Why, you got an alibi? Sure. I was at the club. A hundred people must have seen me. So what? So what? How can one man be in two places at the same time? Well, who said he was, Malone? I didn't say Steve actually shot Willard.

14:18You didn't? No, I said he was responsible. He hired someone else to do the job. How do you know that? Well, at Desclerc told us that five minutes before the shooting an odd-looking character asked for Willard Grant's room. At the Desclerc also told you that this odd-looking character was hired by Steve. Well, doesn't it figure? Not the way I added, unless you take Steve for an awful jerk. No, no, I think he's a smart operator. Well, do you think a smart operator would pull so many boners? How do you suppose it would look to a jerk? How do you tell me you're the lawyer? All right. They'd never believe that Steve had a fight with Willard, tried to gun him, buy him off, and arrange for his murder all in the space of 24 hours. It's too passing. Then you believe it's framed. Don't you? I'll let you know after I think it over. Do that. Listen, Steve. What do you think might have framed you? Nobody. Well, how about your club manager, Curly Michael? A yachtie in mind. Well, what happens to your club if anything happens to you? Goes to Vicki. Well, imagine I almost forgot about her. What are you getting at? What was Vicki's reaction when she heard you had trouble with Willard? I didn't tell her about it. No, but Willard might have, and suppose he got so disgusted he packed her in.

15:19Oh, you nuts. I will soon find out. You're not to bother Vicki, understand? You underestimate my charm, Steve. Who says I'm going to bother her? Listen, Malau. Sorry, I'll time's up right Lieutenant. Right. And let me out. It's time. I was amazing. It does. One of those things. Just one of those crazy things. One of those bells that now and then rings. Yes. Hello, Vicki. What do you want? Now, lover, that's no way to talk. Someone to think you weren't glad to see me. That'd be right. If you're looking for my father, he isn't here. I know.

I hope he'd been careful. Love you don't know what you're saying. I hate him. And I want to be there when they strap him into the chair. I don't think they will. They wouldn't acquit him. Would they malone? It's a cinch. I'm representing him. Your watch? Uh huh. Listen, Malone, if you get him off, I'll kill you. I mean that. I'll kill you. Now you listen to me, little fool. You let me go. You father always did everything he could for you. Oh, ask him to. He was always in a hurry. Always spying. He thought Willard was no good for you. How would he know? Willard was a married man. So what? He was the only man I ever loved. He was no good. And what makes you think I'm any better? We were two of a kind he used to say. Right out of the same deck. And he was right. He'd left you in a month. Never. No matter what he said, he never- What did he say?

18:23It's not your business. Maybe I can guess. Suppose you were living on borrowed time. Suppose Willard told you he thought you were more trouble than you were worth. You'll get out. Well, we got to think of things like that. Are you going to get out of here? Sure, lover. But you're such a fascinating creature. Don't blame me if I come back. Well, it's about time, Mr. Malone. Huh? Have you any idea how long I've been waiting? How did you get in? I used these. You're a bold one. Not a shuffler door won't you? It'll be kind of stuffy. Worst comes to worst. I can always let a little air in through you. With this. Not a me. Hey, that's real good. I thought so. Now what? Now suppose you sit down over there. Over here. That's fine. You're probably wondering who I am.

19:24I got an idea. You're the odd-looking character. The desk clerk saw shortly before Willard was gunned. What did you call me? That was a quote. You'll think you're smart, don't you? You're one of those forceful men who knows all the answers. Well, I can't hold you. You're working yourself into a sniff. I've got a good mind to... No. Now you're not going to make me angry. You thought you would, didn't you? Believe me, that was the furthest thing for my mind. Now tell me you're scared of a little gun. Scared of death? They remind me of weddings. Very funny. I guess not. Well, what can I do for you? Nothing. But you can do something for yourself. Such as... Such as getting up Steve Kemper as a client. Why should I do that? Because a friend of mine wants you to. You wouldn't consider telling me this friend's name. What do you think? Yeah, I think you wouldn't. And if I continue to represent Steve... I'll be back to see you again. Only next time Marvin will do the talking for me. Marvin? Mm-hmm. My gun. You say that's real cute. You and Marvin are bobs between...

20:24You always go out together? You'll find out. Well, what do you say, Mr. Malone? What can I say? I'd be a fool to represent Steve after this. Thanks for dropping around, friend. I hope you won't go to the trouble again. Where's it? Where's it? Just a second. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You want to know you? Oh, I thought I made a definite impression. But remember, we met in Willard's hotel room. Oh, yes. Yes, you were on your way in. And you were on your way out. Yes, how could I forget the name Malone, isn't it? Uh-huh. You didn't invite me to drop around. Yes, and I met it. Come in. Thanks. Hey, hey, this is quite a layout. I'd certainly hate to pick up the tab for this. Let me take you to the court. Love it. You got it. Sit down. No mind if I do. Don't you think it's a little crowded to the two of us on this chair? You're trying to solve a lot more comfortable.

21:25Okay, let's try it. No, no, I mean by yourself. But I can sit by myself at home. Well, after all Malone, you've got to consider my position. My poor husband is lying dead in the morning. Yeah, you're really broken up about that, aren't you? What's your guess? I suppose you were upset when he said he was going to get a divorce in Marri Vicki. We told you that. Then he did plan the Marriot. Never would have gone through with it. He was in love with it. It never would have lasted. No, you saw it of that. What made you send Junior around to frighten me off? The character who keeps company with Marvin. Are you out of your mind? No, but you must be if you thought that would do the trick. Get out. What's wrong with me anyway? No one seems to want me around. First, will it then Vicki now you? Are you going to get out of here? Yeah, but it's lucky I know a police lieutenant who's crazy to have me around. It reminds me. How about I check on him, too? Hello, lieutenant? Oh, no. Look, Malone, if you don't quit hanging around police, said what his people will talk. So they might. Look, Malone, you're breathing me on one thing.

22:27You're a lawyer, no? I'm a lawyer, yes. Now, why can't you act like the rest of them? Get your suit, Chris. Go to court. For my ways better, this way I don't have to drag around a briefcase. I'm telling you, Brooks, you better let Steve go. He didn't kill Willard. I didn't say he did. I said he was responsible. The odd-looking character did the actual shooting. Suppose I'd told you I saw him. When? He was waiting for me in my apartment. Have you let him get away? Oh, he let me get away. Oh, I didn't just stop him. Are you serious? He could have killed me. That's no excuse. I'd tell you, Brooks, this is our boy. He was carrying a 45 that he kept referring to as Marvin. Oh, I didn't mean to shoot you. You seem disappointed. I am, I am. All right, what was he after? He wanted me to drop Steve Kemper as a client. And he couldn't have been working for him. You're Rika, you finally saw it. You're gonna let Steve go? Well... He was your head, Brooks. I crucify in court. I told you before, the case against Steve was too packed. How who would want me out of this, man? Me, for one. Come on, I'm not coming. Okay, okay. I'll order Steve's release. Now you're talking. How about you, talker? Who sent that boy up to see you? That's easy. The same party who was behind Willard's murder. But that tells me a lot. Who was that? This wife. Who? Willard's wife, Marcia.

23:27Oh, so you think she's the foul, Miss Crient? I know she is. She's got the best motive of all. Willard was gonna divorce her to Mary Vicki. So? So this is a little girl who would never let go of a meal ticket. Did you see her sweet at the Stockton? Mm-hmm. I bet it runs at least 75 bucks a day. A hundred, I'd check. Well, where do you think the money came from? She was probably bleeding Willard to death and when she saw the ride was over. Oh, she hadn't killed. Right. At Malone, there's just one teeny thing wrong with that theory. I feel like a cad for even mentioning it. Right. Well, Marcia happens to be the daughter of Sylvester Braiden. The guy who owns half a stocky eye. Yeah, yeah. That girl's got more dull than Fort Knox. So she had Willard killed for his insurance, huh? I guess I was wrong. You guess you were wrong. Well, I'll say one thing for you, Malone. You may not be amusing, but you certainly are amazing. You're listening to the amazing Mr. Malone. If you bought US defense bonds 10 years ago, they'll mature this year.

24:28However, you don't have to redeem them and buy new bonds to continue getting your interest. Congress has just passed the law to extend the life of these same bonds you now hold for 10 years more. You can, of course, cash your bonds now, but think twice before you do. There's no sure say for investment. I think that for yourself and for America, you want to keep your bonds and keep on buying them too, because the fence is everybody's job now, and there's no investment that helps your country more today. And now back to the amazing Mr. Malone. You can talk about your luck at the Irish, but to me it's strictly hearsay. Here I had it so neatly figured out that Marsha Grant was responsible for her husband's murder. Lieutenant Brooks had to go and drop his bomb. After the explosion died down, I sat there for five minutes without saying a word, which must have been stabby some sort of a wreckage. Malone, your mouth's open, close it. Listen, Lieutenant, I made a mistake.

25:29No. Okay, so I was wrong, but I see it all now. Oh, no. There's one character we've been overlooking in this little drama. All right, who? Curry Michael. Yeah, but he works for Steve. That doesn't preclude extra curricular activities. He could have double crossed it. But you heard Steve say if anything happened to him, the club went to his daughter. But you know, Vicki, how much effort do you think it would take to swindler? Not much. There you are. Five will get you ten. Curry was the boy who sent that gunman around to scare me off. You know, I hate to say this Malone, but you might have a point there. Well, they ain't going to do us any good here. Let's go stick it in Curry. Your dice, Mr. You're any house limit here? I get light on yourself. Shoot five grand. You faded. Fans, coming out. Come on, guys. Keep good to pop up. There's four and three. You'll do it. What? H's the point. H's the point. I got two breaches. Says he's right. Oh, hi, you're considering? Hi, Curry. We want a word with you. We? You know Lieutenant Brooks. Sure he does.

26:29Take over the game. Will you tick? I'm going to be busy for a while. Let's go to Steve's office. What's on your mind, Counselor? What's always on my mind? Okay. That ain't going to get Steve out. Why haven't you heard Curry Steve's been released? Why? Yeah, I'm surprised he's not here yet. He left ten minutes before we did. Oh, maybe he stopped off at the apartment to see Vicki. What do you think of her, Curry? Don't ask. What I am. Well, if she was my kid, I'd break her back. You never appreciate anything Steve done for her. No, if anything happened to Steve, this club would go to her. I know. I guess it wouldn't be any trouble for someone to counter out of it. It would serve her right. You don't know good little... Go on, Curry. What were you saying? Well, Steve, am I tickled to see you? The fellas would just tell him... When he came in, it looked like you were telling them. Don't stop in my account, okay? If you weren't blind, you'd see she's a mother all over again. A dirty rotten... Shut up! Have you got anything else to say? Uh, I've said my speech. When I spoke to my turn, Steve, I told you that Curry tried to frame you for Willards murder.

27:30You know how he feels about Vicki? If you went to the cherry, take this place away from her in 20 minutes. You're wrong. Show me where. Curry's been with me for 15 years. So? So, last Christmas, I offered him a 25% piece of the joint. I suppose he turned it down. He certainly did. Who needs it? Well, what do you know? I know you better do some fast talkers. Looks like I was wrong again, Lieutenant. Looks like you've got any more bright ideas. Yeah. And this one's a dilly. Now, look, Malone. I've had enough. I'm going to ask yourself this. Who is the first to know if Steve's fight with Willard? The first to know I've flopped when I try to buy him off? Vicki? No. Steve. What are you talking about? I'm sorry it had end like this, Steve. But every once in a while, one of my own clients turns out to be it. Believe me, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. One of those things.

28:37Just one of those crazy things. Say thing. One of those bells that now in name ring. Very. Just one of those things. Mario. Oh, it's something bothering you, Lieutenant. Yeah, yeah. Why I don't take off my shoe and club you to death with it. I said all along that Steve was the party behind Willard's murder. Why'd you let him go? Why did I let... Who said the case was too bad? Well, it was. Then he had odd looking character around to scare me off with a beautiful touch. It didn't seem possible that Steve was behind that. Was he? Of course, and that convinced us he was being framed. I still want to know where you're better on Steve. Well, it all came down to motivation and Steve had the best motive of all.
