Casey ,,,, The Surprising Corpse

WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.029 --> 00:00:05.660
Oh, hello, Casey. I'm sure glad to see you. Yeah, hi, Ethelbert.
2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.279
Say, what's with Marvin and this me, me, me stuff?
3
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:10.359
Maybe you can find out. He won't talk.
4
00:00:11.369 --> 00:00:14.289
Hey, Tony, what goes with you and Herman Chitteson and
5
00:00:14.330 --> 00:00:14.929
that me, me.
6
00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:15.570
Me noise?
7
00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:17.510
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
8
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:21.800
Hey, Herman, will you give me an A now? Me, me, me, me.
9
00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:24.719
First it's me, me, me, and then it's give me
10
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:26.859
an A. Well, what's this A business, anyhow?
11
00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:30.780
Why, Casey, A is for Anchor Hawking, the world's largest
12
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.399
makers of household glass.
13
00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:34.600
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
14
00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:35.469
This is Tony Marvin.
15
00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:52.500
Every week at this time, the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation
16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.640
of Lancaster, Ohio, and its more than 10,000 employees, bring
17
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.840
you another adventure of Casey, Crime Photographer, ace cameraman who
18
00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:03.920
covers the crime news of a great city. Written by
19
00:01:03.950 --> 00:01:09.930
Alonzo Dean Cole. Our adventure for tonight, The Surprising Corpse.
20
00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:19.950
Two o'clock in the afternoon... the living room of a
21
00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:21.829
beautifully furnished penthouse apartment.
22
00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:23.890
Mrs.
23
00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:24.650
Abel.
24
00:01:25.189 --> 00:01:26.049
Yes, Marie?
25
00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:28.129
The Comte de Gaston is here.
26
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:29.310
Show him in.
27
00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:30.390
Yes, Mrs.
28
00:01:30.409 --> 00:01:30.689
Abel.
29
00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:33.430
You may go in, Comte de Gaston.
30
00:01:34.469 --> 00:01:35.969
Henriette, my lovely one.
31
00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:37.170
Hello, Leon.
32
00:01:37.370 --> 00:01:39.090
It was good of you to send for me. I
33
00:01:39.129 --> 00:01:40.310
kiss your beautiful hand.
34
00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:42.390
Don't. Henriette.
35
00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:45.560
Come into the library where we can talk privately.
36
00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:46.579
Very well.
37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:50.799
Sit down, Leon.
38
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:53.340
You are mad at me, Henriette. I can always tell
39
00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:56.200
when you are so green. It's showing your so lovely eyes.
40
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.799
Yes, well, now that we're alone, Count, suppose you drop
41
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:00.719
the phony accent.
42
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:03.709
Okay, what's the beat?
43
00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:07.069
I've advanced you almost $ 40, 000.
44
00:02:05.829 --> 00:02:08.729
As you're to get it back with 500% interest, you've
45
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:09.409
made a good investment.
46
00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:11.729
I'm not so sure of that, Henriette.
47
00:02:11.770 --> 00:02:14.849
This silly bird-brained girl I'm engaged to marry will inherit
48
00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:17.280
millions when she's 21, only a year from now.
49
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:18.300
You can't lose.
50
00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.689
You even took out insurance on my life.
51
00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:24.629
Yes, but only for enough to protect my actual loans
52
00:02:24.669 --> 00:02:28.259
to you. You see, Leon, I expect a profit as well,
53
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.639
and I won't get that unless you marry Paula Durfee
54
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.280
and get your hands on her inheritance.
55
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:32.919
Don't worry.
56
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.000
She's mad about me.
57
00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:36.680
Her uncle, who controls her estate until she's 21, and
58
00:02:36.699 --> 00:02:38.280
her brother Arthur are mad at you.
59
00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:39.759
Paula pays no attention to them.
60
00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:42.530
When you drink, you talk too much.
61
00:02:43.449 --> 00:02:43.909
What do you mean?
62
00:02:44.069 --> 00:02:45.789
Several nights ago at the bar of the Yorkshire Club,
63
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.030
you told everybody what you really think of Paula Durfee.
64
00:02:48.069 --> 00:02:48.610
Who told you that?
65
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:49.669
I swear.
66
00:02:49.729 --> 00:02:53.259
I have reliable informants in many places, Leon. I watch
67
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.520
over my investments, and you're one of them. I've not
68
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.139
had a loss so far, and I don't intend to
69
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:00.099
have one in you.
70
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.969
I'm sorry, Henriette. I dream too much no more. I
71
00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:07.550
don't trust you, Henriette.
72
00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:09.990
And because I don't trust you, I want to liquidate
73
00:03:10.009 --> 00:03:10.449
your debt.
74
00:03:11.090 --> 00:03:11.810
Liquidate your debt?
75
00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:12.849
Oh, it'll be to your.
76
00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:16.349
Advantage as well as mine. Would you like to make $ 100, 000
77
00:03:16.250 --> 00:03:20.349
right away? 25% of which goes.
78
00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:20.789
To me, of course.
79
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:24.689
My plan may strike you as fantastic, Leon, but this
80
00:03:24.909 --> 00:03:27.430
Paula Durfee is a little fool. If she weren't, she
81
00:03:27.449 --> 00:03:28.930
wouldn't be in love with you and jealous of you.
82
00:03:29.289 --> 00:03:30.509
You're most flattering, Mrs.
83
00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:30.710
Zabel.
84
00:03:30.750 --> 00:03:33.729
You've an appointment with Paula today, of course?
85
00:03:34.129 --> 00:03:35.069
At 5 o'clock for cocktails.
86
00:03:35.150 --> 00:03:37.289
Well, don't drink too much before you meet her. And
87
00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:39.530
don't tell her this scheme was the idea of anyone
88
00:03:39.550 --> 00:03:40.110
but yourself.
89
00:03:40.430 --> 00:03:43.270
You must take all the credit. Go on.
90
00:03:43.729 --> 00:03:47.310
Tell me how to get this $ 100, 000.
91
00:03:45.509 --> 00:03:47.189
This is the way, Leon.
92
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.120
When you meet Paula, you tell her.
93
00:03:50.340 --> 00:04:05.030
Leon, darling, you're not serious about this.
94
00:04:05.310 --> 00:04:08.270
My beautiful Paula, I've never been more serious in my life.
95
00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:10.050
But it's crazy, my sweet.
96
00:04:11.169 --> 00:04:12.870
You had too much to drink before you met me.
97
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:16.329
I have only a few. What is four, five, maybe
98
00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:17.149
six cocktails.
99
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:18.170
Where did you have him?
100
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.509
At Loire's bar.
101
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:20.259
With some woman?
102
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.660
I am with a man, a man named Casey.
103
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:23.980
I don't know any Casey.
104
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.079
He's a nobody who takes pictures for the newspapers. I
105
00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:29.279
meet him in this cafe. We have a drink together.
106
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.480
But I don't trust you.
107
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.819
You've been seen with other women.
108
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.399
Who sees me with other women?
109
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:35.720
My brother Arthur has seen you.
110
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:37.079
And my uncle.
111
00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:41.360
They tell you this because they do not like me. Ah,
112
00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:42.980
Paul Le Cheri.
113
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.930
You have proof that I love you madly. That I
114
00:04:45.990 --> 00:04:49.399
desire to marry you right away. What I tell you
115
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.879
a moment ago is proof of that.
116
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.740
What, that crazy scheme?
117
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.800
It is good scheme.
118
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:55.920
Will you go to your uncle tonight?
119
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.680
I'd never convince him.
120
00:04:57.699 --> 00:04:58.240
You will.
121
00:04:58.459 --> 00:04:59.930
Paula, you are great actress.
122
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.350
What drew me to you when first we meet is
123
00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:03.470
the drama in you.
124
00:05:03.629 --> 00:05:07.310
I say to myself, there is woman in fire with emotion.
125
00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:10.750
She is Bernard. She is Betty Grable.
126
00:05:11.529 --> 00:05:14.060
You dig it. Upon my love for you, I dig.
127
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:18.759
Oh, Leon. Will you go to your uncle in two
128
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.399
hours from.
129
00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:22.459
Now and tell him? Would be exciting.
130
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:23.740
It is perfect plan.
131
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.100
You thought it up?
132
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.120
Certainly.
133
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.480
I have a brain.
134
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:29.360
I'll do it.
135
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.860
Uncle Clement should give me enough for us to get
136
00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:34.410
married on, even if we have to trick him into it.
137
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.100
Tell me the plan again, Leon.
138
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.240
All of it.
139
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:39.019
So when I go.
140
00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:39.639
To Uncle Clement.
141
00:05:49.449 --> 00:05:53.810
My dear, this is astounding. Devastating.
142
00:05:54.490 --> 00:05:56.000
I couldn't help it, Uncle Clemens.
143
00:05:56.649 --> 00:05:57.449
I couldn't help it.
144
00:05:57.689 --> 00:05:59.980
Paula, I've tried to take care of you since your
145
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.540
parents died. I've tried to shield you. I've warned you.
146
00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:04.620
I had to do it.
147
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.740
And now you've got to protect me, Uncle. You've got
148
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:08.800
to save me.
149
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.139
I will, child. Take me to this place. I'll do
150
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:13.720
what I have to do.
151
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:27.170
Why are we turning here, Casey?
152
00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:29.389
Annie, won't you ever learn this town? This is a
153
00:06:29.430 --> 00:06:30.550
shortcut back to the office.
154
00:06:30.689 --> 00:06:31.870
Oh, you and your shortcuts.
155
00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:34.149
Hey, that car that just passed us, Annie.
156
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:34.759
What car?
157
00:06:34.769 --> 00:06:35.689
Look at the license number.
158
00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:37.990
Captain Logan, Homicide Squad.
159
00:06:38.029 --> 00:06:41.319
Wait a minute, it's stopping. He's going to park. Sure is,
160
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.529
in front of that brownstone house. Look, Logan and Sergeant
161
00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:45.870
Flanagan are getting out and fast.
162
00:06:45.949 --> 00:06:47.129
They're here on a job, Casey.
163
00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:49.350
Is that it? Let's see what this is all about.
164
00:06:49.569 --> 00:06:50.430
You and me both.
165
00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:51.350
Come on.
166
00:06:52.449 --> 00:06:53.339
What do you suppose they're here for?
167
00:06:53.370 --> 00:06:55.029
What's the use of supposing? We'll know in a minute.
168
00:06:55.829 --> 00:06:57.350
Logan just opened the door and walked in. We'll do
169
00:06:57.370 --> 00:06:57.850
the same thing.
170
00:06:58.110 --> 00:06:59.470
He probably won't like this.
171
00:06:59.490 --> 00:07:01.250
So what? They're in that room.
172
00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:03.069
Hi, pal. Casey!
173
00:07:03.569 --> 00:07:05.709
Just happened to be passing by. I thought we'd drop in.
174
00:07:05.750 --> 00:07:07.990
Good evening, Sergeant. Hello, Casey.
175
00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:08.980
Miss Williams.
176
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.339
Well, what brought you two uncouth characters to this swanky church, huh?
177
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.319
Take a look behind this sofa.
178
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:15.959
Say.
179
00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:17.180
A dead man.
180
00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:18.740
Two gunshots got.
181
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:20.639
Him through the head. That's the Count.
182
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.259
Who?
183
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.180
Count Leon de Gaston is what he called himself. He
184
00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:27.680
was engaged to that dumb little glamour girl, Paula Durfee.
185
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:28.959
Sure, sure.
186
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.500
I've seen her with him around the night spot.
187
00:07:30.579 --> 00:07:33.569
This is interesting. How did it happen, Captain?
188
00:07:33.949 --> 00:07:35.800
I don't know, Miss Williams. I got a phone call
189
00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:37.620
at headquarters from a guy who wouldn't give his name.
190
00:07:37.699 --> 00:07:39.980
He said a murder had been committed at this address
191
00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:43.139
and that we'd find the front door unlocked. He knew
192
00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:44.060
what he was talking about.
193
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.660
Logan, this body's still warm. Yeah. I'm going to take
194
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.269
some pictures of it.
195
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.430
No, no, not until I call my tech man.
196
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:49.819
Now, Logan.
197
00:07:49.870 --> 00:07:54.189
You heard me. Outside door's open. More visitors.
198
00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:58.129
It happened in that room, Uncle.
199
00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:00.029
I get behind this screen, everybody out of sight.
200
00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:01.920
Show me, Paula. Paula.
201
00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:03.360
Quiet and keep out of sight.
202
00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:05.160
I can't go in there again, Uncle. I can't.
203
00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:07.220
You must show me where you killed that man.
204
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.420
Oh, please, Uncle Clemens.
205
00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:11.399
Show me where and how you shot him.
206
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:12.699
All right.
207
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.399
Leon stood there behind that sofa laughing at me. I
208
00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:19.220
took the gun and pointed it at him and pressed
209
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.660
the trigger. Right there is.
210
00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:22.480
Where he stood.
211
00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:25.939
He told me the truth.
212
00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:27.899
Where's his body?
213
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:29.100
No. Oh.
214
00:08:29.769 --> 00:08:30.329
Oh, no!
215
00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:31.230
We've heard enough.
216
00:08:32.009 --> 00:08:33.330
You're under arrest, miss.
217
00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:34.409
I didn't do it.
218
00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:35.450
I didn't kill him.
219
00:08:35.470 --> 00:08:36.929
That's not what you said a minute ago.
220
00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:37.830
But I was lying.
221
00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:40.529
Leon can't be dead. He just can't be.
222
00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:41.539
Oh, my child.
223
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:45.220
I think introductions are in order, mister. I'm Captain Logan,
224
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.080
Homicide Bureau.
225
00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:50.259
I'm Clement Berkey. This is my niece, Paula.
226
00:08:50.570 --> 00:08:52.830
Oh, Leon can't be dead. He can't be.
227
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:55.490
It's no use trying to change your story, Miss Durfee.
228
00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:56.929
But what I said was all a lie.
229
00:08:57.009 --> 00:08:57.789
I didn't, Julian.
230
00:08:57.809 --> 00:08:58.470
Please.
231
00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.379
I didn't. I couldn't. I loved him.
232
00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:02.769
The things you heard me say, the story I told
233
00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:04.529
my uncle, was Leon's idea.
234
00:09:04.549 --> 00:09:06.730
What did she tell you, Mr. Durfee?
235
00:09:07.690 --> 00:09:08.429
I'd rather not say.
236
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:09.950
Look, a murder has been committed.
237
00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:10.450
You got to.
238
00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:11.909
I'll tell you what I told my uncle, but it
239
00:09:11.929 --> 00:09:14.690
wasn't true. I said that I was jealous of Leon,
240
00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:16.230
that I came here tonight and shot him, but it
241
00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:17.210
was all a lie.
242
00:09:17.250 --> 00:09:20.570
You were jealous of Count de Gaston, weren't you, Miss Durfee?
243
00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:23.190
He told me you were when I was with him
244
00:09:23.210 --> 00:09:26.769
this afternoon. You were with this guy today, Casey? Mm-hmm,
245
00:09:26.830 --> 00:09:29.250
for about an hour at Luardi's bar, and he was
246
00:09:29.269 --> 00:09:30.740
getting quite a load on, too.
247
00:09:30.769 --> 00:09:32.429
Maybe he told you about the plan he had.
248
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:33.820
He didn't say anything about a plan.
249
00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:35.700
Go on, Miss Durfee.
250
00:09:36.289 --> 00:09:38.460
All I told my uncle was part of Leon's plan.
251
00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:41.019
He said that if Uncle Clement was convinced I'd committed
252
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.779
a murder, he'd pay $ 100, 000 to protect me.
253
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.460
Really? How was he to pay the $ 100, 000?
254
00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:47.799
He was to give it.
255
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.519
To Batson, Leon's valet. Leon said he'd arranged everything with Batson.
256
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.850
And why was he to give it to this Batson?
257
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:56.590
Well, because Batson would say he'd been a witness to
258
00:09:56.610 --> 00:09:58.590
the murder and that he'd gotten rid of the body.
259
00:09:59.070 --> 00:10:00.879
When Uncle came here, he was to see nothing but
260
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.960
some stains on the floor that would look like blood.
261
00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:05.679
Leon said he'd put some here before he went away
262
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:08.179
and hid himself. And I was to get the money
263
00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:10.309
from Uncle and pretend to pay Batson for his help
264
00:10:10.870 --> 00:10:13.610
and silence. And then I was to join Leon at
265
00:10:13.649 --> 00:10:16.190
his hiding place, and we were going to be married.
266
00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:18.470
I don't know who killed him.
267
00:10:18.529 --> 00:10:18.850
I don't know.
268
00:10:20.049 --> 00:10:23.230
I've heard some pretty fantastic stories from murderers, Miss Durfee,
269
00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:24.730
but yours tops them all.
270
00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:27.429
Oh, Uncle Cameron, make him believe me.
271
00:10:27.470 --> 00:10:29.950
My niece told me this man, Batson, had promised to
272
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:31.889
take the Gaston's body away, Captain.
273
00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:35.320
He obviously didn't take the body away. Sergeant, we want
274
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:36.909
to see Batson. Get out a tracer on him.
275
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:37.389
Yes, sir.
276
00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:41.059
There's the front door again. More people come into this house.
277
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:41.320
What?
278
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.220
Oh, I beg your pardon.
279
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:43.919
Who are you?
280
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:44.720
It's Batson.
281
00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:46.159
Good evening, Miss Durfee.
282
00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:48.799
Batson, I... Tell them what the Count of Gaston told.
283
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.340
You to do tonight.
284
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.860
Tell them. The Count told me to do nothing tonight, Miss.
285
00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:53.980
He did.
286
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.679
He must have. He was going to give you instructions.
287
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.240
I haven't seen the Count since early afternoon, Miss Murphy.
288
00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:01.360
You're lying.
289
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.970
You're lying. Really, Miss. I say, what's going on here?
290
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.129
Step back on this sofa, Batson. Take a look.
291
00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:10.809
The Count.
292
00:11:11.330 --> 00:11:11.929
Oh, heavens.
293
00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:13.110
He's dead.
294
00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:13.350
Yeah.
295
00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:13.549
Yeah.
296
00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:14.570
Who?
297
00:11:14.710 --> 00:11:17.210
This very imaginative young woman did the job.
298
00:11:17.230 --> 00:11:18.049
I didn't.
299
00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:18.730
I didn't.
300
00:11:18.830 --> 00:11:22.460
You'll have a hard time convincing anyone of that, Miss Durfee. Sergeant,
301
00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:24.620
phone the squad now and stay in charge here. The
302
00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:25.820
rest of us are going to headquarters.
303
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.440
Yes, sir, Captain.
304
00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:26.759
Logan.
305
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:27.980
Yes, Casey?
306
00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:31.720
That gal's story is so completely cockeyed, it might be true.
307
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:32.659
Oh, Casey.
308
00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:33.679
Are you nuts?
309
00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:36.600
Maybe. But I'm getting what feels like a hunch.
310
00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:47.740
Oh. Only a few years ago, oven glass, glass which
311
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.179
could be used for oven baking, was considered an expensive luxury.
312
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:52.860
Anchor Hawking, with.
313
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.019
Its vast laboratory and manufacturing facilities, changed all that by
314
00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.179
perfecting a new kind of oven glass, more beautiful than
315
00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:03.389
anything that had been known before, guaranteed it for two
316
00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:07.529
years against oven breakage, and offered it at unbelievably low prices.
317
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:10.990
This new kind of glass is Fire King Oven Glass.
318
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.600
you can recognize it immediately by its.
319
00:12:13.590 --> 00:12:17.090
Beautiful pale blue color. A special process makes.
320
00:12:16.950 --> 00:12:21.269
Its mirror-smooth surfaces miraculously easy to clean. Its lighter weight
321
00:12:21.549 --> 00:12:25.059
makes it easier to handle. If you've never tried oven glass,
322
00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:28.139
why not try it now? Ask for it at your
323
00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:33.110
favorite chain, variety, hardware, or department store. Fire King Oven
324
00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:39.730
Glass is a product of Anchor Hawking. A great name
325
00:12:39.970 --> 00:12:40.529
in glass.
326
00:12:40.909 --> 00:12:42.570
Casey, how in the world, huh?
327
00:12:42.590 --> 00:12:43.460
Now, Grace, look.
328
00:13:02.169 --> 00:13:08.639
After all... No, not now. Oh, dear, these women.
329
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.580
Now, Casey, as I was saying, how in the world
330
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.860
can you think that dirty gal didn't commit the murder?
331
00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:18.500
That's what I'd like to know, too, Ethelbert.
332
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.379
Look, I'd tell both of you. I've got a hunch.
333
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.519
It's the kind of hunch I'd hate to bet on.
334
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.000
Well, who's asking you to bet on it?
335
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.000
I've noticed that when Casey gets a hunch that a
336
00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:28.820
gal's being unjustly treated, Ethelbert, she's usually.
337
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:29.759
A very good-looking gal.
338
00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:29.850
Hmm.
339
00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:32.559
Paula Durfee hasn't got a brain in her head, but
340
00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.419
she has got looks.
341
00:13:33.610 --> 00:13:36.409
Oh, don't talk nonsense, Ann. Hey, Walter! Bring up some
342
00:13:36.429 --> 00:13:37.009
more lemons.
343
00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:38.649
Yeah. Huh?
344
00:13:40.169 --> 00:13:42.110
Annie, listen, I'm telling you, it's because that kid is
345
00:13:42.149 --> 00:13:44.789
so brainless that I think that she may have fallen
346
00:13:44.809 --> 00:13:48.860
for that crazy plan she says to Gastoni proposed. And
347
00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:51.379
then somebody who knew about the plan bumped the guy off,
348
00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.960
knowing that she'd take the rap for it.
349
00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:54.620
Oh, Casey, you haven't got the slightest basis.
350
00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:55.879
For that idea. Oh, yes, I have.
351
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.230
Yes, I have. That phone call that brought Logan to
352
00:13:58.250 --> 00:13:59.250
DeGaston's place.
353
00:13:59.490 --> 00:14:01.309
They ain't been able to trace that call?
354
00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:03.429
No. Well, a neighbor might have made it or somebody
355
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:05.129
passing on the street who heard the shots and didn't
356
00:14:05.169 --> 00:14:06.190
want to become involved.
357
00:14:06.250 --> 00:14:06.870
Oh, that's possible.
358
00:14:07.009 --> 00:14:09.610
Now, Casey, DeGaston told you himself that she was madly
359
00:14:09.629 --> 00:14:12.259
jealous of him. So tonight she just got too jealous
360
00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:13.360
and went bang, bang.
361
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.299
Yeah. Gaston told me something else this afternoon. As a
362
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.500
matter of fact, I'd forgotten it up to now. He'd
363
00:14:20.539 --> 00:14:22.820
just come from Mrs. Zabel's place.
364
00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:23.379
Mrs.
365
00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:24.080
Zabel?
366
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.460
Yes.
367
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:25.840
Did you make that name up?
368
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:26.480
No, no.
369
00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:29.179
Henrietta Zabel, that's her name. Who's she?
370
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.700
The hard-boiled dame I know.
371
00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.620
I wonder.
372
00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.000
You wonder what?
373
00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:33.860
Mrs.
374
00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:37.039
Zabel always has a few of those fortune-hunting guys around her,
375
00:14:37.090 --> 00:14:39.950
guys like the Gaston. I've heard she bankrolls them while
376
00:14:39.970 --> 00:14:45.049
they're on the make for gals with dough. So what? Well,
377
00:14:45.269 --> 00:14:47.700
so I'm going back to headquarters and check a little
378
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.159
matter with Logan that I neglected to check before.
379
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.080
Captain Logan's in.
380
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.860
His office, Casey, but he's busy right now. Somebody with him, Sarge? Yeah,
381
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.720
the brother of that girl who knocked off the gas tone,
382
00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:12.139
Arthur Durfee. Oh, yeah, that Paula kid's his only sister.
383
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:12.850
Just two of them, huh?
384
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:13.179
Yeah.
385
00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:13.350
Yeah.
386
00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:16.090
Arthur's about five years older than she is, I think.
387
00:15:16.330 --> 00:15:17.889
He's another case of too much dough.
388
00:15:18.029 --> 00:15:18.230
Uh-huh.
389
00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:20.470
He got his share of the Durfee millions when he
390
00:15:20.509 --> 00:15:21.429
reached 21.
391
00:15:21.429 --> 00:15:22.450
And he's been spending.
392
00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:25.289
He's leaving the office now, King. Yeah. Good night, Mr. Durfee.
393
00:15:26.129 --> 00:15:29.100
I deeply regret the trouble that's come upon you and
394
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.500
your uncle and your sister, and you must realize that
395
00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:32.919
I have a.
396
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:33.440
Job to do.
397
00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:35.659
Yes, I realize that, Captain Logan.
398
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.019
I can promise you she'll undergo no unnecessary hardships.
399
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:39.919
Thank you.
400
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:40.720
Good night.
401
00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:45.159
Good night, Captain. Tough luck, fella.
402
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.159
Who?
403
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.399
I'm just a newspaper guy. I want you to know
404
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:49.620
that I'm all for your sister.
405
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:50.960
Oh.
406
00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:55.269
Well, thank you. Thank you very much.
407
00:15:58.330 --> 00:15:59.490
You want to see me, Casey?
408
00:15:59.990 --> 00:16:01.889
Yeah, Logan, yeah. Come on in.
409
00:16:05.450 --> 00:16:07.600
The toughest thing a cop ever has to do is
410
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:10.600
talk to relatives of a prisoner he's shoving toward the chair.
411
00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:11.259
I can imagine.
412
00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:13.139
What's on your mind?
413
00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:16.080
Logan, you traced all phone calls to and from DeGaston's
414
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.779
home today. Yeah. Did DeGaston make a call from his
415
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.259
home not long before he was shot?
416
00:16:20.549 --> 00:16:22.909
Yeah, that's here in the report. Yeah?
417
00:16:22.929 --> 00:16:23.289
To whom?
418
00:16:23.669 --> 00:16:24.169
My.
419
00:16:24.909 --> 00:16:27.029
Mrs. Henrietta Zabel.
420
00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:27.289
Mrs.
421
00:16:27.309 --> 00:16:28.070
Zabel, huh?
422
00:16:28.090 --> 00:16:30.750
Yeah. Lives in a swanky penthouse over on the boulevard.
423
00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:31.029
Yeah?
424
00:16:31.129 --> 00:16:31.340
She's 100%.
425
00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:32.149
100% what?
426
00:16:32.169 --> 00:16:34.840
Well, okay. What makes you so sure of that?
427
00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:37.330
Oh, I went over and talked to her myself. She
428
00:16:37.370 --> 00:16:40.509
admits DeGaston phoned her, makes no secret about it, says
429
00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:41.330
they were old friends.
430
00:16:41.350 --> 00:16:43.509
What did he call her about? She doesn't know.
431
00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:45.190
She was out at the time. The maid answered.
432
00:16:45.809 --> 00:16:48.230
Oh, where was she out at the time DeGaston was shot?
433
00:16:48.289 --> 00:16:49.129
How do I know?
434
00:16:49.230 --> 00:16:51.309
I don't ask everyone I talk to for an alibi
435
00:16:51.330 --> 00:16:52.570
when I got the killer in a cell.
436
00:16:52.610 --> 00:16:54.309
I don't think you have the killer in a cell.
437
00:16:54.330 --> 00:16:55.549
Are you going to start that again?
438
00:16:55.570 --> 00:16:57.090
Yes, Logan, I am, and you're going to help me
439
00:16:57.110 --> 00:17:00.090
prove that I'm right. Logan, look. Now, I've met this Mrs. Zabel,
440
00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:01.309
and she's a foxy character.
441
00:17:01.769 --> 00:17:01.850
And.
442
00:17:02.409 --> 00:17:05.710
that de Gaston hadn't enough imagination himself to cook up
443
00:17:05.730 --> 00:17:08.309
the scheme that Paula claimed she fell for. Well, my
444
00:17:08.369 --> 00:17:10.640
hunch says that Mrs. Zabel put him up to it.
445
00:17:11.009 --> 00:17:12.970
Casey, there wasn't any scheme.
446
00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:15.329
But you don't know there wasn't. You've got to give
447
00:17:15.369 --> 00:17:16.450
that derpy kid a chance.
448
00:17:17.289 --> 00:17:18.349
What do you want me to do?
449
00:17:18.910 --> 00:17:21.430
I want Mrs. Zabel watched in her telephone wire tap.
450
00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:21.930
Hey, I.
451
00:17:21.970 --> 00:17:24.029
You can do it, Logan. You can do it. And
452
00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:25.730
be sure it's done by the time that I visit
453
00:17:25.769 --> 00:17:28.210
her tomorrow. So you're going to visit the lady?
454
00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:28.529
Yeah.
455
00:17:29.289 --> 00:17:31.430
I'm going to pull a bluff that I think she'll
456
00:17:31.450 --> 00:17:31.910
fall for.
457
00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:42.059
Mrs. Zabel will see you in the library, sir.
458
00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:42.559
Thank you.
459
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:44.960
Mr. Casey, madam.
460
00:17:45.589 --> 00:17:46.140
Come in.
461
00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.660
Thank you, Mrs. Zabel.
462
00:17:48.269 --> 00:17:50.730
Well, I seldom forget a face, Mr.
463
00:17:50.750 --> 00:17:51.170
Casey.
464
00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:54.349
We've met before, haven't we?
465
00:17:54.410 --> 00:17:56.769
Yes, I've taken pictures of you several times for the
466
00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:58.029
Cafe Society pages.
467
00:17:58.170 --> 00:17:59.049
Oh, yes, of course.
468
00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:00.690
May I close this door?
469
00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:01.650
If you wish.
470
00:18:02.349 --> 00:18:03.150
Thank you.
471
00:18:04.069 --> 00:18:09.940
Is it customary for press photographers to require such privacy?
472
00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.779
Well, I'm not here as a press photographer.
473
00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:14.190
Oh, then what are.
474
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.440
I really want to talk to you about Leon de Gaston.
475
00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:18.940
Well?
476
00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:23.210
I spent over an hour with him yesterday at Luardi's Cafe.
477
00:18:23.230 --> 00:18:27.769
He'd been drinking and was talkative. Really?
478
00:18:27.789 --> 00:18:28.670
Yeah.
479
00:18:29.730 --> 00:18:33.750
He told me about the idea you'd given him Interesting.
480
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:37.430
I think the cops would find it so if I
481
00:18:37.509 --> 00:18:41.019
told them. They might connect it with a phone call
482
00:18:41.059 --> 00:18:43.519
de Gaston made to you shortly before he was shot
483
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.380
while you were not at home. They might wonder who
484
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.319
phoned headquarters to report the murder of de Gaston, and
485
00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:55.299
they might wonder who really killed de Gaston. What do
486
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:55.680
you think?
487
00:18:57.380 --> 00:18:59.319
I wonder why you haven't told.
488
00:18:59.099 --> 00:19:01.089
This to the, um, cops.
489
00:19:01.509 --> 00:19:04.029
I have. Because you're a rich woman and I'm a
490
00:19:04.109 --> 00:19:04.750
poor guy.
491
00:19:05.829 --> 00:19:06.450
Blackmail.
492
00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:09.990
Well, let's say you do me a favor and I
493
00:19:10.009 --> 00:19:10.750
do one for you.
494
00:19:11.089 --> 00:19:14.349
Can you suggest any motive I might have had for
495
00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:15.609
committing a murder?
496
00:19:15.809 --> 00:19:17.670
I think the cops might be able to dig one up.
497
00:19:18.369 --> 00:19:21.609
A motive perhaps that would mean a profit for you
498
00:19:21.950 --> 00:19:24.890
or prevent a loss. Hmm.
499
00:19:26.789 --> 00:19:27.410
Okay, Mrs.
500
00:19:27.450 --> 00:19:39.069
Zabo. Until tomorrow. Logan, you say she made a phone
501
00:19:39.089 --> 00:19:40.250
call right after I left her, huh?
502
00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:42.549
Yeah, but not from her own phone that I had
503
00:19:42.589 --> 00:19:44.369
a tap on. She went out to a public booth,
504
00:19:44.390 --> 00:19:46.609
so my guys don't know what she talked about. We
505
00:19:46.670 --> 00:19:49.049
traced the call she made to Clement Durfee's home.
506
00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:49.589
Paula's uncle?
507
00:19:49.609 --> 00:19:49.869
Uh-huh.
508
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.660
So he's her partner in this scheme. Now, wait a minute. Look, Logan, look.
509
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.559
If you'd just been threatened by a blackmailer who accused
510
00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:58.539
you of conniving in a murder that you had connived in,
511
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.549
wouldn't your first act be to contact the other party
512
00:20:02.569 --> 00:20:05.750
to your killing? I guess so, but... Well, Mrs. Zabel
513
00:20:05.829 --> 00:20:09.619
fell for my bluff, Logan. Because she framed the scheme
514
00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:12.920
that de Gaston and his girlfriend fell for. And she
515
00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:17.019
framed it with Clement Durfee. But why Durfee? Remember, he
516
00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:20.309
handles Paula's estate, Logan. In a year, he'd have to
517
00:20:20.349 --> 00:20:21.769
turn it over to her. But with her out of
518
00:20:21.809 --> 00:20:22.190
the way.
519
00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:23.750
But why should Mrs. Zabel.
520
00:20:23.769 --> 00:20:26.930
Well, she'll do anything for Doe, won't she? And he's
521
00:20:27.009 --> 00:20:30.730
paying plenty for what she did. But we'll get them both, Logan.
522
00:20:31.130 --> 00:20:34.369
And with the goods. I hooked her today. Tomorrow, when
523
00:20:34.410 --> 00:20:36.630
she tries to pay me blackmail, you'll be there to
524
00:20:36.670 --> 00:20:37.109
pull her in.
525
00:20:38.109 --> 00:20:41.970
Well, she's a swell-looking woman with a head.
526
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.779
Full of brains, all right. And that little Paula's a
527
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.599
beautiful thing, too.
528
00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:50.099
Excuse me. Homicide Bureau, Captain Logan speaking.
529
00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.839
This is Mrs.
530
00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:51.859
Zabel, Captain.
531
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:52.099
Huh?
532
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:52.640
Mrs.
533
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:54.519
Zabel. How do you do?
534
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.240
I'd like to see you as soon as possible, if
535
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:57.819
I may.
536
00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:59.380
Logan, she's all set for a confession.
537
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.089
Shut up.
538
00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:02.579
What do you want to see me about, Mrs.
539
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.059
Zabel?
540
00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:05.799
Well, I'd like to report the threats of a blackmailer,
541
00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:08.240
a press photographer named Casey.
542
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.740
Very interesting, Mrs.
543
00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:11.259
Zabel.
544
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.819
I'm anxious to hear about him.
545
00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:15.759
Will you come to my home as soon as possible, alone?
546
00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:18.299
Yeah, I'll be there in half an hour.
547
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.539
Then I'll expect you.
548
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.299
Goodbye.
549
00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:23.720
You heard that, Casey.
550
00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.490
I heard it.
551
00:21:24.859 --> 00:21:26.539
You put something over on her.
552
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.720
Wise guy.
553
00:21:36.170 --> 00:21:39.509
And that's a full account of the man's clumsy blackmail attempt,
554
00:21:39.529 --> 00:21:40.210
Captain Logan.
555
00:21:40.490 --> 00:21:41.609
And a true account.
556
00:21:42.869 --> 00:21:44.950
How do you know it's true?
557
00:21:45.150 --> 00:21:47.569
Oh, I know this Casey, Mrs.
558
00:21:47.630 --> 00:21:47.990
Zabel.
559
00:21:48.109 --> 00:21:50.559
I can figure he'd pull things like you said.
560
00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:54.140
Now, I want to tell you something else.
561
00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:54.859
Go on.
562
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:54.940
Um.
563
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:58.119
That man Casey was right.
564
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.599
I did suggest the plan that Paula Durfee told you about.
565
00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:02.980
What?
566
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.170
Yes, I gave it.
567
00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:06.269
To Leon de Gaston in detail, and I told him
568
00:22:06.289 --> 00:22:09.109
to make Paula go through with it. Then you... No,
569
00:22:09.410 --> 00:22:12.809
I didn't kill him. Somebody else made dupes of all
570
00:22:12.849 --> 00:22:13.029
of us.
571
00:22:13.329 --> 00:22:14.369
Who's that somebody else?
572
00:22:14.490 --> 00:22:17.170
Telling you won't be so convincing as letting you see
573
00:22:17.230 --> 00:22:18.319
and hear for yourself.
574
00:22:18.410 --> 00:22:19.440
Now, look here, Mrs.
575
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:19.759
Daybell.
576
00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:22.000
This will be done my way, Captain, or.
577
00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:22.599
Not at all.
578
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.559
Let's hear your way.
579
00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:29.640
Can you install a radio contrivance in my car that
580
00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:31.700
will permit you in a car following to hear what's said?
581
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.960
Yeah, my man can.
582
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.220
Then have it done at once, and follow me tonight.
583
00:22:44.289 --> 00:22:45.950
Where's she going in that car of hers, Logan?
584
00:22:46.069 --> 00:22:47.950
I told you she wouldn't tell me a thing, Casey,
585
00:22:47.990 --> 00:22:49.690
except to follow her, and we're doing that.
586
00:22:50.589 --> 00:22:52.630
She might give us a word occasionally through that radio
587
00:22:52.670 --> 00:22:53.390
gadget you had.
588
00:22:53.309 --> 00:22:54.390
Installed in her car.
589
00:22:54.430 --> 00:22:56.339
She's going to play this the way she wants it.
590
00:22:58.230 --> 00:23:01.549
You know, she is a swell-looking woman, Casey.
591
00:23:01.609 --> 00:23:02.019
Yeah.
592
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.539
Not so young as Miss Dirty, of course.
593
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:06.980
Oh, no, not nearly as young.
594
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.700
But swell-looking.
595
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.940
Swell-looking.
596
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.920
All right, all right, all right. You both agree that
597
00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:14.140
they're both beautiful, gentlemen.
598
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.240
Hey, she's slowing down, Logan. She's going to stop.
599
00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:17.769
I'll slow down, too, boy.
600
00:23:19.329 --> 00:23:20.490
Hey, a man's getting into her car.
601
00:23:20.710 --> 00:23:22.470
Couldn't see his face. Neither could I.
602
00:23:23.529 --> 00:23:24.329
She's starting up again.
603
00:23:24.349 --> 00:23:28.970
Well, thanks for picking me up, Henrietta.
604
00:23:29.029 --> 00:23:31.650
That guy's voice. That radio gadget works pretty good.
605
00:23:31.750 --> 00:23:34.750
Quiet. I didn't want you to come to my house.
606
00:23:35.329 --> 00:23:37.710
Yes, in the car here, I'm sure no one can
607
00:23:37.730 --> 00:23:38.119
hear us.
608
00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:38.910
Who's the man, Casey?
609
00:23:38.990 --> 00:23:40.390
Can't get his voice. Neither can I.
610
00:23:41.450 --> 00:23:45.160
So, Henrietta, you think we are under suspicion of murder?
611
00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:48.539
Yes, and I have no intention of facing a murder
612
00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:50.059
charge I don't merit.
613
00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:54.200
You suggested that little plan to the Gaston.
614
00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:55.630
Whose plan was it?
615
00:23:56.049 --> 00:24:00.250
Well, since we're quite along, it was mine.
616
00:24:00.529 --> 00:24:03.250
But you didn't tell me you really planned to murder Leon.
617
00:24:03.789 --> 00:24:05.750
I thought you were only helping me recover my money.
618
00:24:05.769 --> 00:24:08.809
Oh, you know my real motive?
619
00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:09.430
Yes.
620
00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:12.910
You wanted a murder conviction and death for your sister.
621
00:24:12.930 --> 00:24:13.930
His sister?
622
00:24:13.950 --> 00:24:15.430
It's Arthur Durfee still.
623
00:24:15.650 --> 00:24:19.650
You see, I've spent my share of the estate, but
624
00:24:19.690 --> 00:24:22.059
with Paula out of the way, I'd get her share too.
625
00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:25.099
I couldn't allow a little fool like Paula to get
626
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.420
that money when I needed it.
627
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:26.900
Could I?
628
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.779
You think you'll get away with it?
629
00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:30.700
You'll never tell anyone.
630
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.359
What?
631
00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:32.660
You think I'd have said what I have if you
632
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.019
were going to live? Step on it, Logan.
633
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.559
I'm fast.
634
00:24:34.619 --> 00:24:35.200
I'm stepping.
635
00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:36.769
Look at that car behind us.
636
00:24:36.809 --> 00:24:37.049
What?
637
00:24:37.549 --> 00:24:38.289
You cut the ignition.
638
00:24:38.309 --> 00:24:39.630
And threw the key out the window.
639
00:24:39.670 --> 00:24:40.250
What a gal.
640
00:24:40.289 --> 00:24:42.250
Now, say, it's all over for him now.
641
00:24:42.269 --> 00:24:43.430
Sure is. That car's stopping.
642
00:24:45.210 --> 00:24:46.470
Come out of that car, Mr.
643
00:24:46.529 --> 00:24:48.730
Arthur Durfee, with your hands in the air. What's the
644
00:24:48.750 --> 00:24:49.630
meaning of this, Mike?
645
00:24:49.710 --> 00:24:51.890
We're finishing your perfect plan, fella.
646
00:24:51.930 --> 00:24:54.119
For keeps. And Mrs. Zabel... Why, Mr.
647
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:54.640
Casey.
648
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.339
I'm going to ask a favor of you. May I
649
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:03.160
kiss you? Hey. Excuse me, Annie. Thanks, Mrs... Zabel.
650
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.799
Thank you, Mr.
651
00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.079
Casey.
652
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:06.549
Well, I like that.
653
00:25:06.569 --> 00:25:10.430
I was just apologizing, Annie, and congratulating Henrietta.
654
00:25:10.509 --> 00:25:12.170
We'll discuss your methods later.
655
00:25:12.630 --> 00:25:12.809
Mr.
656
00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:14.509
Casey.
657
00:25:19.710 --> 00:25:22.880
It's now possible to tell almost exactly what Americans think
658
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.259
on almost any given subject. An independent research organization recently
659
00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:29.940
conducted a poll in an eastern city to find out
660
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.220
what kind of containers housewives prefer for foods. An overwhelming
661
00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:37.839
majority said that they preferred glass containers, and most of
662
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.890
them mentioned these four reasons. Glass lets you see exactly
663
00:25:41.990 --> 00:25:45.920
what you buy before you buy it. Glass containers are
664
00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:50.119
clean and sanitary. They don't affect flavor or purity. Glass
665
00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:53.450
containers are easier and safer to open and can safely
666
00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:56.650
be used to store leftovers. Now, in the same survey,
667
00:25:57.029 --> 00:25:59.950
eight out of nine mothers of young babies said they
668
00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:01.430
preferred prepared baby.
669
00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:02.460
Foods packed in glass.
670
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:05.500
Most of your favorite food products and all of the
671
00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:09.059
better brands of prepared baby foods are now available in
672
00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:15.339
Anchor glass containers, protected by Tampa-proof Anchor vacuum caps. Both
673
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.009
products of Anchor Hawking. A great name in glass.
674
00:26:23.009 --> 00:26:25.009
¶ ¶.
675
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:39.279
So, Arthur Durfee's in the clink, Casey, and his sister's free, huh?
676
00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:43.740
Yeah, Bethelbert, yeah. And Logan's treating me respectfully.
677
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:43.700
For a change.
678
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.920
I don't know why you had this case all wrong.
679
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.420
Even if Mrs. Zabel wasn't guilty, she led us to
680
00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:50.319
the murderer, didn't she?
681
00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:51.059
That's right.
682
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:53.900
She did and you didn't. Well... All you did was
683
00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:58.160
push your way in for that apologetic, congratulatory kiss at
684
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:01.420
the end. Honey, my emotional nature got the best of
685
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:01.900
me that time.
686
00:27:02.230 --> 00:27:06.049
She's a nice-looking woman, that Mrs. Zabel.
687
00:27:06.150 --> 00:27:07.849
She'll never see 45 again.
688
00:27:08.109 --> 00:27:08.470
So what?
689
00:27:08.549 --> 00:27:09.630
Age brings experience.
690
00:27:10.650 --> 00:27:10.750
Hmm.
691
00:27:11.549 --> 00:27:13.670
No, but experience isn't really necessary.
692
00:27:13.690 --> 00:27:17.410
Casey, what did that young, good-looking Paula do when they
693
00:27:17.450 --> 00:27:18.529
let her out of the pokey?
694
00:27:19.329 --> 00:27:20.210
Uh, well.
695
00:27:20.470 --> 00:27:20.920
Oh, yes, yes.
696
00:27:21.049 --> 00:27:22.049
Tell him, Mr.
697
00:27:22.109 --> 00:27:22.890
Casey.
698
00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:24.750
Ethelbert, she kissed Logan.
699
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:27.579
And as for you, Ethelbert, what's that on your lips?
700
00:27:28.549 --> 00:27:30.029
That looks like.
701
00:27:30.210 --> 00:27:30.349
Who?
702
00:27:30.390 --> 00:27:30.589
Me?
703
00:27:30.690 --> 00:27:32.289
Good night, Ethelbert.
704
00:27:32.849 --> 00:27:33.150
Huh?
705
00:27:33.829 --> 00:27:34.950
Oh, good night, Grace.
706
00:27:36.589 --> 00:27:37.950
Oh, dear, these women.
707
00:27:46.220 --> 00:27:50.039
Crime Photographer, starring Stotz Cotsworth as Casey, is brought to
708
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:53.599
you each Thursday by the Anchor Hawking Glass Corporation, makers
709
