Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking.

Oh, Selma. I'm glad you called, but tonight is out, Angel.

A girl is trying to bake off with her boyfriend, but he loves her too much to let

her go and it's up to me to see he doesn't love her to death.

This is then, hurly, he friends, inviting you on behalf of the craft foods company

to listen to the adventures of the Falcon, starring Lestiman.

You met the Falcon first in his best selling novels, then you saw him in his thrilling

motion picture series. Now join him on the air when the Falcon solves

the case of the gangster's girl.

Before we join the Falcon in his latest adventure, I'd like to tell you folks about

crafts, golden, cheese food, velvita. Velvita is such good eating.

Just taste that grand rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor and velvita is so good for you.

It's rich in important food values from milk itself.

For swell tasting snacks, for good hearty sandwiches, for 50 easy hot dishes,

it's smart to keep stocked with velvita.

Get it tomorrow in a handy quarter pound package or in the economical two pound loaf.

The cheese food of top quality, velvita is made only by craft.

And now the case of the gangster's girl.

It's late Sunday night in New York, and more potter, a local gambler,

is returning home after hitting a few of the night spots.

When a large sedan pulls alongside on a deserted street,

potter pulls over to let the second car buy, but instead of passing, it starts crowding him,

forcing him toward the curb.

Hey, what's the idea? Why don't you look way up?

I'm hurry. Hello, bud. Come on.

I'm disappointed in you, bud.

Hilliard tells me it turned out a proposition.

Yeah, it's just...

Well, I... I thought...

He didn't think so good. Come on, get out.

Hey, what's the idea? Get out of it, do I have to help you?

All right, Hilliard, hold him.

Yeah, man. Look, fellas, if you'll just let me...

Murray, don't you believe in knocking?

If you want privacy, keep your door locked.

I thought it was.

Well, you should be more careful, soon.

Well, where do you think you're going?

Little trip.

Looks more like a big trip you've cleaned the closet.

If I want to go away.

From me?

You wouldn't do that, baby darling.

I saw the paper. That man has three broken ribs.

What's that?

You know what, man. Everybody knows you did it.

Baby, tell. Don't take everything so serious.

Three broken ribs are serious.

Are they your ribs?

You said easy money.

Well, I didn't like it from the start.

But you insisted, what's the harm?

Well, when you start beating up people, that's harm.

Next, it'll be killing.

Or maybe that's happened already, too.

I look, I don't want to talk about it.

You're staying here, understand?

No, Murray.

I said, you're staying here, and I start unpacking.

No.

Start unpacking.

Hurry up.

What an echo.

You don't know how lucky you are, baby.

Darling, I'm going to be big in this town.

Real big.

I like you when you weren't going to be big.

I don't talk dumb.

And quit your boring.

I'm doing a ton tonight.

I don't want your eyes all red.

Why can't you leave me alone?

Sometimes I ask myself that.

I just can't, that's all.

You know, you ought to be flattered as soon as he'll tell me

you'd been over to the airline ticket office I'd come right over.

Oh, he hid.

How did he know?

He keeps his eyes open.

Have you got him spying on me?

No, I just like to look after my interests, that's all.

You just like to make trouble, that's all.

Oh, he's okay.

Like a rattlesnake, he's okay.

And one of these days, he'll make trouble for you, too.

Don't make me laugh.

You'll see.

Things aren't bad enough.

You have to have worms around.

All right.

You don't like them?

I'll care them.

Anything for you, baby.

Yeah, except getting out of the whole dirty business.

Except that.

Or letting me out.

Oh, you don't wander out, baby.

Don't.

Not if it means leaving me.

Hmm?

Come on, honey.

Get those bags unpacked.

Hello?

Is that Michael Wearing the Falcon?

Yes, this is the Falcon speaking.

I want to hire you.

Considering the price of groceries, I want to be hired.

Who are you?

Oh, so Sanders.

And why do you want a detective?

I don't want to say it with the phone.

It has to be over the phone.

I don't dare come to see you.

I might be followed.

I'm calling from a phone booth.

And I'll mail you the money for your fee.

All right.

What do I do to earn it?

I want to get rid of my boyfriend.

Rid of him?

Yeah.

I'm hoping you can have him put in jail.

Oh, for a minute, you had me worried.

Well, you may still have something to worry about.

He plays rough.

What's his name?

Murray Ross.

Oh, I see what you mean.

I just been reading about him.

Yeah, it's in the papers.

The police questioned him, but they couldn't prove anything.

But I know he beat up that man because he wouldn't join Murray's outfit.

They want to corner all the numbers men in town.

Who's they?

Murray and Albert Kett.

Oh, is Birkett in this deal?

He is the deal.

Murray just runs the West End for him.

Mm-hmm.

And just where do you fit?

I don't fit anymore.

That's just the trouble.

I've been going with Murray, but I want out.

And he has other plans for you, huh?

That's right.

My only hope is for him to be picked up.

But so far, nobody's been able to prove anything that would stick.

What makes you think I will?

Well, I have to do something.

And I've heard a lot about you, and I've got to get away.

I simply got to.

Even if it means sending your boyfriend a jail?

He hasn't left me any choice.

Hmm.

Well, I'll do what I can for you, but how do I get in touch with you?

I'll have to get in touch with you.

I'll call you from time to time.

Right.

Can you tell me anything that might help?

Well, nothing more than I already have.

And the police already know all of that.

The problem's getting proof.

If I learn anything, I'll let you know.

Now I gotta go and he's expecting me for dinner.

Well, have fun.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm dead serious.

It's just the way I'll be.

If Murray finds out about this call, goodbye, Mr. Waring.

Come on, baby doll, let's have a smile.

I'm trying, Murray.

Well, you shouldn't have to try.

But it's a matter.

You know what's a matter.

I love baby doll.

I know it's a little rough, get organized,

but everybody's just about lined up now.

No more knuckle fields.

Now it's a business, just like any business.

I'll have an office.

Night of five, you'll see.

First it's getting people in line,

and then it's keeping them in line.

They'll stay in line.

Not because they want to.

You enjoy throwing your weight around, Murray.

You know you do.

You like people to be afraid of you.

Makes you feel important.

You have to pretend to be a big shot

because you know you're just Burkett's Aaron boy.

Look out.

You'll knock over the champagne.

Just Burkett's Aaron boy, huh?

Listen, baby doll, I'm going to tell you something.

I run the West End.

See, all the collections are turned over to me.

And you pass them on to Burkett

with a little cut for yourself.

Little cut.

Listen, Burkett don't know all the angles.

I've got two sets of books.

If Burkett knew what to take in his part of town

really comes to it with curlers here,

I'm taking him but plenty.

And when he finds out?

Who's going to tell him?

Maybe he won't have to be told.

He's good at arithmetic.

Yeah, but he can't figure what he can't see, baby doll.

Come on, stop worrying.

Well, yeah, everything's going to be all right.

Yeah, I guess it is.

Just depends upon what you call all right.

Yes, what is it?

Murray Ross has said to see you, Mr. Burkett.

Oh, good.

I've been waiting, send him in.

Yeah.

Okay, go ahead.

Right.

Hello, Burkett.

Hi, here.

I understand you wanted to see me.

Yeah, as I like to check up from time to time,

you know how it is.

Saddam.

cigarette?

Not thanks.

How so, baby.

Oh, she's all right.

That's good.

Anything special you wanted to see me about?

As a matter of fact, yes.

There is.

Shoot.

Don't give me ideas.

Huh?

Do you take me for a fool, Murray?

I don't know what you mean.

I think you do.

But just so there won't be any question,

I'll lay it on the line, cards on the table.

To put it bluntly, Murray, you've been holding out on me.

Short-changing, man.

Who?

Who told you?

Never mind.

I have sources of information.

Well, your sources are talking through their hat.

Perhaps.

Won't take long to check.

Wanna see the books?

Which set?

Are you?

You got the wrong idea.

I think not, but as I said, I'll check.

But not books.

There are other methods.

More reliable.

Okay, you'll find out.

I'm sure I will, my boy.

And while I'm working on it, you'll stay here

or I can keep an eye on you.

Here?

Yes. House guest.

The boys will see you're comfortable.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

You're too warm.

I'll see you're perspiring.

Shall I open a window?

I'm getting out of here.

What?

Going somewhere, mister.

Well, are you?

Close the door.

Yeah.

All right, now I'll come back here and sit down, boy.

You got to finish our conversation.

What are you gonna do?

Ah, yes.

What am I going to do?

Let's discuss that, shall we?

This is Anne Hurley, again, friends.

And while Mr. Burkett is talking about what he's going to do,

I have a little suggestion for you, ladies,

who wonder what you're going to do for some interesting

lint and menu ideas.

And my suggestion is this.

Just get a two-pound loaf of craft smooth melting,

pasteurized processed cheese food, velvita.

You can melt velvita for smooth, delicious cheese sauce

that'll add extra goodness to vegetables or seafood

or rice, or just plain toast for a fine main dish.

And it's such an easy sauce to make.

All you do is melt a half pound of velvita

in the top of your double boiler.

Notice how smooth it melts without any lumps at all.

Then slowly stir in a quarter of a cup of milk,

seasoned to your taste, and then you have it.

A delicious cheese sauce with a wonderful rich, yet mild,

cheddar cheese flavor.

A flavor that everyone, the youngsters and grandma

included, will enjoy often.

And it's a wholesome dish because velvita is so rich

in important food values from milk.

So whether you melt velvita for a swell cheese sauce

or slice it thick for hearty sandwiches,

you'll find velvita is a mighty handy helper mother,

especially now, during lint.

Get a two-pound loaf tomorrow, won't you?

It's America's favorite cheese food.

The one and only, velvita, made by craft.

Now back to the adventures of the Polkan.

It's a couple of hours since Albert Kett revealed

he knew about Murray's double dealing.

And now there's a knock at the door of Sue Sanders' apartment.

Sue goes to the door, opens it, and finds herself facing Murray.

Hello, baby, down.

Surprised to see me?

No.

Should I be?

Look at him coming in.

All right.

Why are you locking the door?

I've just come from Burkett.

Oh.

He knows about the finaglan.

How do you find out?

How do you find out that's rich?

Well, he let you go.

Yeah.

Yeah, let me go.

It says I can still be useful, but now he's going to keep his eye on me.

Won't that be real cozy?

Somebody's going to pay for this, baby, down.

Well, you don't think that, down.

Somebody tip Burkett.

He didn't have proof, but he knew about the deal.

Well, if he didn't have the proof.

He could always get proof once he was wise, so I had to come across.

Come here, baby, down.

What do you want?

I just want you to come here.

All right.

Why did you tip Burkett?

Not much, you didn't.

I tell you on right away, Burkett knows all about it.

You won't believe me.

Yeah.

Oh, sorry, down.

You little double croissant.

How am I swear it?

Then who says?

How about here he is.

What is it?

Kill you, down.

Why should he?

I told you he was dangerous.

He's fired on me for you.

He'll spy on you for Burkett.

Get in good with a big boy.

That's his motto.

May be.

That must be it.

He would sell out his own brother if it would help him get ahead.

Well, we'll see, baby, down.

We'll see.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Wary.

There's a Sue Sanders.

Have you found out anything for me?

I'm working on it.

I've got a phony deal cooked up.

If I can get Murray to go for it, I may be able to hook him.

Well, I hope you can work fast.

He thinks I've double crossed him.

Does he know about me?

No.

It's something else.

All right, I'll put on the heat.

But I think I'd better try the act out on Hilliard first.

Hilliard?

Yeah, I have an idea.

He's more gullible than Murray.

If I can sell him, Murray's a sin.

Well, I hope you can work fast.

He thinks I've double crossed him.

Does he know about me?

If I can sell him, Murray's a sin.

Well, anything you think best only Hari.

Keep yourself, Hilliard.

You can at least double your take if you work with my crown.

How do you know what my take is?

It's all down there in black and white.

I'm not admitting those figures are right.

In fact, I'm not admitting I have anything to do with the numbers.

No, I don't blame you for being cagey, but think it over, Hilliard.

If you want to do business, you know what to reach me.

Okay, where?

But I'd like an answer by tomorrow.

You want to get moving?

Yeah.

And if I were you, I wouldn't mention this to anyone.

You think I'm crazy?

It's always a possibility.

Well, no, I've got...

I've got to hell you at the window!

Oh, no!

Library.

Did you see anybody come out of that alley just now?

Uh-huh.

You just got in a red sand drove off.

Do you see where he went?

Turn right the corner.

All right, let's see if we can catch him.

Okay.

Hey, what's it all about?

Did you hear those shots?

Shots.

I thought it was backfire.

Backfire never killed anybody.

Oh, somebody's dead?

Yeah, very.

Hey, I don't think I like this.

Well, I'm not exactly turning cartwheels myself.

You said red sedan.

Is that his up ahead?

Yeah, it could be.

All right, step on it.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

He's just coming.

He's starting to speed.

We'll catch him.

Well, I'll try, but I'm just as happy if I don't.

He just turned left.

Yeah, I see.

Hang on.

Here we go!

Yeah, there he is.

Yeah.

Just got through the light.

It's changing.

Lean on your horn and go through on the red.

Now, look, if I get a ticket, I'll stand to fine.

Okay.

Do you stand in the hospital?

Yes, in the funeral expenses.

Just keep going.

Yeah, you say the nicest thing.

He's taking another turn.

Yeah.

Hey, he'll never make it at that speed.

I told you, he's got a crash.

Well, end of the line, mister.

It certainly looks like it for him.

Hello, Marin.

So, I know you.

Name's Mike Wearing.

Oh, the Falcon.

I see you do know me.

Of you.

What do you want?

Well, I got a proposition you might be interested in.

No, thanks.

How do you know?

Do you hear it?

I said I've heard of you.

I didn't like what I heard.

Well, neither did he did, but he was willing to look over my wares.

Oh.

You talked to him?

Uh-huh.

What did he say?

Said he'd consider it.

And that's surprised.

Now, I know I'm not interested.

You don't care for Helian.

I don't care for rats.

How much don't you care for them?

Ah.

Well, just wondering if you try to exterminate them.

What's that supposed to mean?

Somebody exterminated Helian.

And since you called him a rat, exterminate.

You mean he's dead?

That's right.

So that's a rangle.

Who's an angle, my?

Ah, nothing.

Anyhow, it's not going to happen.

Anyhow, it's not going to work.

I can prove where I've been all afternoon.

I asked for this job.

I was done by a professional trigger.

You could have hired him.

Are they picked up or done it?

picked up the pieces.

Well, it wasn't working for me.

But I got an idea.

I'll be seeing you.

Just a minute, Murray.

I got things to do out of my way.

I said out of my way.

Okay, if that's the way you want it, maybe this will keep you around the world.

Oh, Mr. Waring, you shouldn't have come here.

I said I'd call you.

Well, I didn't want to wait.

But it's Murray County's.

He won't.

How do you know?

The police are keeping him busy.

Oh, yeah.

You had him arrested?

Yes, temporarily.

They're holding him for questioning.

Well, they questioned him before.

They can't prove anything.

That's why I hired you.

Well, they never questioned him about this before.

About what?

Helian's murdered.

What?

Has Helian been murdered?

Uh-huh.

And when I told Murray about it, I got the idea.

He was coming for you.

That's the reason I tried to put him on ice for a while.

Would you think they'll be able to hold him long?

I'm afraid not.

Unless you can give us a little something to go on.

Like what?

Like a motive, for example.

Now, do you know any reason why Murray would want to kill Helian?

Well, look.

It's going to be bad enough for me if Murray gets out of this.

I'll only make it worse by saying anything, making that much angrier.

Well, maybe he won't get out of it if you tell enough.

But this is murder.

Yeah, I want him locked up.

But the electric chair, that's something else.

Well, it's your hire to his, Angel.

And if he's a murderer...

Why?

I don't know what to say.

Say whatever you know.

Well, I don't know much.

Look, did Murray have a motive for killing Helian?

Well, yeah.

I guess he did.

All right, what was it?

I told you, Murray thought I'd double-crossed him.

Yes, but you didn't say what about?

Well, he'd been holding back some of Berkett's money.

Berkett found out about it.

Murray thought I told him.

I said it must have been Hillian.

Well, that could do it.

Anything else you know?

I don't think so.

Well, I'll call that much into the police.

And I'll go see Berkett.

Now that the heat's on, I've got to find out what's cooking.

And make sure it's not your goose.

Mr. Berkett.

Yes?

Make wearing as he wants to see.

Well, I'm good.

Tell him to come in.

Yeah.

All right, wait.

Thanks, sweetheart.

Hello, Berkett.

I've been wanting to meet you.

And so I understand.

You've been snooping around.

What's it about?

Snooping?

Asking questions.

You hadn't dropped in today.

I was just about to look you up.

Well, I saved you the trouble.

All right, now let's have it.

I like to know where I stand.

Why the interest in me?

Well, I'll tell you, I'm interested in the numbers game.

It can be very profitable.

Yes, that's what I hear.

That's what you know.

You're in it up to your ears.

All right, if you like.

I won't deny it, but it'll take some proving.

The DA's been working on it for months.

I don't have to prove it except to my own satisfaction.

I'm not trying to convince a court.

Who are you trying to convince?

I told you, myself.

Just wanted to make sure you were the boy to hit with my proposition.

Proposition?

Yeah, there's a new outfit coming into this game.

They sent me on a headline, things up.

We're big.

Lots of backing.

Now we could run you out, but we prefer to do business with you.

To your advantage in ours.

Whose outfit is it?

We'll get around to that when you join, but now you deal with me.

Look, friend, if I was up to my ears in a racket, as you say,

why would I want to deal with a character like the Falcon

who's so chummy with the law?

Sure, I've been chummy with the law.

That's where the organization wanted me.

Things like that can come in handy.

Now, look, I don't blame you for being cautious,

but I've got the whole thing worked out on paper, dollars and cents.

Can't hurt to look at it.

Oh, can't hurt.

Be glad to look it over.

Let's have it.

Well, I don't have it with me.

I left it at Hilliards.

Hilliards?

What were you doing there?

Well, I didn't think it was any use hitting you until I found out how your boys took to this idea.

So I talked to Hilliard and Murray Ross.

What did they say?

Why not ask them?

Don't think I won't.

I suppose to come here tonight.

If they've been holding hands with you.

Are you admit they work for you?

That's no secret wearing.

I have an investment business.

Still don't trust me to your bucket.

Why should I?

You shouldn't.

But I'm always willing to look over any proposition.

I'll send one of the boys over to Hilliards to pick up your papers.

As do that.

I'm sure you'll find them interesting.

What I wanted know is just how interesting did Hilliard and Murray find them.

Well, I'm afraid you'll never find out from Hilliard.

Why?

Haven't you heard?

At what?

Hilliard's been murdered.

What?

That's what I thought you knew.

Oh, Hilliard talks to you and right away he gets himself murdered.

What's the matter?

He's turned you down?

So you think it over and who are you working for wearing?

I told you that's not for publication yet.

I'm asking.

Sorry.

You know, sometimes silence can be very unhealthy.

Why?

You're just a businessman.

Investments.

You wouldn't try any rough stuff.

That's right, wearing.

I wouldn't.

But you can always have an accident.

Can't you?

This is Ed Hurley here again, friends.

Well, Mike won't tell Mr. Burkett what he wants to know.

But I do want to tell you something I'm sure you mothers especially will want to know.

It's how to get the finest cheese food you can buy for your family.

It's simple, really.

Just be sure you buy Velvita.

Crafts delicious, pasteurized processed cheese food.

Velvita tastes good, and it's so good for you, too.

For Velvita is rich in important food values from milk.

And it's as digestible as milk itself.

So it's perfect anytime for snacks, sandwiches, and grand hot dishes.

Try it, won't you mother?

Make Velvita your handy helper.

Just be sure you get genuine Velvita.

The pasteurized processed cheese food of top quality made by craft.

Oh, back to the adventures of the Falcon.

It's 20 minutes since Mike wearing left Albert Kett.

Now he's back at Su's for the plan to wrap up the case.

And look, Angel, I want you to call Albert Kett. Ask him to come over here.

Why?

I want to get him away from his gorillas.

He was expecting Murray and Harriet tonight.

Now he knows Harriet can't make it, but he's still waiting for Murray.

He knows your Murray's girl, so maybe he'll come if he thinks you have an important message for Murray.

He probably want me to go to his place.

Well, you can be expecting a phone call from Murray and don't want to leave till you get it.

All right, I'll try. But what happens when he gets here?

Well, the only way to clinch anything against these boys is to get one of them on record against the other.

I think I know how to do it now, and it ought to work.

Well, it better. After all, Mr. Wearing, I hired you to get me out of danger.

Not into it.

Come in, Mr. Burkett.

I know, Sue. Where's...

Oh, Wearing.

Hello, Burkett.

She didn't tell me you'd be here.

I thought Murray might be here.

What did you want with him?

You said you'd already talked over your proposition with him?

No, it wasn't about that.

I want to talk to him about the murder.

So?

What did he think he could tell you?

Well, there's a matter of fact to...

Murray.

Well, what do you know right on cue?

Come on in, Murray.

What is this? What are you doing here?

Waiting for you?

I didn't think the police would hold you.

But maybe they will next time round.

Police?

So that's your game, Wearing.

The proposition was just a bluff, I thought, as much.

As Burkett, I've been trying to find some way of proving what everybody knows about you fellas.

It's not easy.

But maybe it won't be necessary if I can pin the murder on you instead.

Run who?

Who do you think, Murray?

You tell me.

Well, Burkett found out you had double crossed him.

Haven't you wondered why he didn't do something about it?

The only reason you're not on the slab with Hilliard is that you make such a nice patty.

How's that?

Hilliard blabbed on you.

Here's your good motive.

So it's safe for Burkett to have Hilliard rubbed out with you around to take the rub.

Oh, grubby.

I don't know, Burkett.

I've been wondering how come you turned me loose.

I told you, I needed you.

Maybe.

And maybe wearings make sense.

You're going to tell me.

I told you.

I know.

Come on, Burkett, talk.

That makes you idiot.

Can't you see what wearing you find a dude?

You're going to talk.

You're very well, Murray.

That's where you're going as soon as you fellas get through dancing.

And just in case you have any doubts about it, this gun ought to remove them.

So let me know when you're ready, will you?

Well, Angel, before they got through, they certainly spilled plenty on each other.

They won't have much to worry about from Murray anymore.

He has a long stretch ahead for bacteria.

And Burkett is going up for murder.

But why did Burkett have Hilliard kill?

Hilliard was helping you.

He told him about Murray's cheating.

I suggest it.

You see, Hilliard was a stool patient.

He squealed on you to Murray.

He squealed on Murray to Burkett.

So Burkett recently might just as likely squeal on him to the law.

I see.

Now, Burkett's model was never trustworthy.

It makes sense.

And how did you know that he was behind the murder?

Well, he pretended he didn't know Hilliard had been killed.

When I told him, I'd left some papers he might be interested in at Hilliard's.

Said he'd send one of the boys over to pick them up.

But since he was supposed to be expecting Hilliard,

why didn't he simply call him to bring the papers along?

Of course.

He must have known Hilliard wouldn't be coming.

That's right.

Because he knew he was dead.

Well, I'm glad it's over.

And I'm certainly glad you got me free of Murray.

Believe me, I'm going to be careful who I started going out with from now on.

That's a very good idea.

Of course.

A private detective ought to be safe enough.

Oh, don't look at me.

What's the matter?

You had your last boyfriend sent a jail.

I'm going to be careful too.

Good night, Angel.
