00:01:09A real lakeside home, a beautiful lake for swimming, boating, fishing at no cost to
00:01:17you, we stand the entire expense.
00:01:20Everything absolutely free.
00:01:23I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, Adam City sponsored by that eminent philanthropist,
00:01:28Mr. Roland Adams.
00:01:29There's a fast-growing center of culture, a city with a future.
00:01:40Buy that future now.
00:01:42Put your money where you can watch it grow.
00:01:45And remember, folks, there is no finer investment on Earth than Earth itself.
00:01:51I thank you.
00:01:56But you see, I have only $25.
00:01:58Now, that's all right, lady, don't you apologize, because for 25 bucks down, you're going to
00:02:04do a magnificent, a swell bargain.
00:02:07You'll never regret it.
00:02:08And your children will never regret it.
00:02:10And your grandchildren will never regret it.
00:02:12And your great-great-grandchildren will thank you.
00:02:14But I'm not married.
00:02:18Take my word for it, lady, you have the most beautiful lot in the tract.
00:02:22Will there really be a lake there, Mr. Wolfe?
00:02:24While the whole valley will be underwater in 60 days, Roland Adams' honesty has never
00:02:29been questioned.
00:02:30Come on, fellas.
00:02:31Let's get him.
00:02:32Let's turn the pages.
00:02:33Let's get him.

00:03:01Get him.
00:03:02Get him.
00:03:03Get him.
00:03:04What's the cause of this intrusion, may I ask?
00:03:05We represent every decent and progressive organization in this
00:03:06town, from the Chamber of Commerce on down.
00:03:08For months you've been robbing the people with your misstatements and now we're
00:03:10going to put an end to it.
00:03:12Why, my friend, Adam City's a legal prize.
00:03:16A boon to your community.
00:03:17We're running an honest business and the law must protect us.
00:03:21We know the law has no parts, MS Welter.
00:03:23That's the reason we're here.
00:03:24But you and your gang of hoodlums are leaving this town
00:03:27with a personal escort.
00:03:29And this money is going to be given back
00:03:31to the people from whom it was stolen.
00:03:33I resent that!
00:03:33Go on, get going.
00:03:35You can't do this!
00:03:36Shut up!
00:03:38I'll take this up with my senator.
00:03:39Get out of here!
00:03:40Get out of here!
00:03:41Get out of here!
00:03:42Get out of here!
00:03:43Get out of this town!
00:03:46Uh-huh, so you can't get the mayor brains?
00:03:49Yeah, a lot of good your legal mind did you
00:03:51in the hands of Martin and his mob.
00:03:53This burns my potato.
00:03:55Oh, I admit I made a mistake.
00:03:57But it could have been worse.
00:03:58Yeah, I suppose I could have broken
00:04:00dates with two beautiful redheads instead of one.
00:04:02Meeting of the board of directors
00:04:04of the Eureka Realty Company.
00:04:05And I'm telling you, it's against the regulations
00:04:08for five to sleep in one room.
00:04:10I guarantee no one will sleep here tonight.
00:04:13Oh, that's different.
00:04:15Wait a minute.
00:04:17Bring us five ham sandwiches and a large pot of hot coffee.
00:04:20And bring me the same.
00:04:22No.
00:04:23What will you have?
00:04:25Aspirin?
00:04:26Oh, no, my feet burn.
00:04:29Hey, Junior.
00:04:29Yes, sir?
00:04:30Bring me some grapes.
00:04:34And you, sir?
00:04:36Scram, egg.
00:04:37Scram, eggs?
00:04:38Yes, sir.
00:04:41Well, governor, what next?
00:04:43Well, it's a little too early to mention
00:04:45any definite concrete plans.
00:04:47But I have an idea formulating in the back of my mind
00:04:50that may turn out to be stupendously proportional.
00:04:54Well, then count me out.
00:04:55That mob back there was stupendous enough for me.
00:04:58What are you squawking about?
00:04:59I made a pretty slick living for you, didn't I?
00:05:01Ever since you joined up with us.
00:05:02And it's for that mob?
00:05:04What's a mob, anyway?
00:05:06A mob's bad medicine, Adams, unless you're
00:05:08on the controlling end.
00:05:09I know, because I've lectured before some of the best
00:05:11mobs in the country.
00:05:13Did any of you fellas ever hear of the word prejudice?
00:05:17Yeah, that's when one guy hates another guy, isn't it?
00:05:21Your intelligence fairly overwhelmed me, Wilson.
00:05:24The mob that just wrecked Adams City wasn't even organized.
00:05:26It sprang up overnight.
00:05:28And yet it had plenty of members.
00:05:29You know why?
00:05:31Prejudice.
00:05:32You see, the leader of the mob wasn't only
00:05:33head of the Chamber of Commerce.
00:05:35He was in the real estate business, too.
00:05:37So he went around to all the clubs
00:05:38and told the people that we were a bunch of crooks, racketeers,
00:05:40maybe with changed names.
00:05:42What's that got to do with us making any big dough?
00:05:45You explain it to him, Frank.
00:05:46It's like in one cylinder word.
00:05:47You're used to talking to these dumb clucks.
00:05:50You see, people everywhere are jealous of the other fellow
00:05:52and his money, intolerant of his religion, prejudiced.
00:05:54But now, with the depression and unemployment conditions,
00:05:57this idea's a cinch.
00:05:59We'll capitalize on jealousy, intolerance, and patriotism.
00:06:02We'll form a secret lodge and band our members
00:06:04into a legion of patriotic avengers, the Avenging Angels.
00:06:08That's a great name, Avenging Angels.
00:06:11With plenty of mystery, secret meetings, secret oaths,
00:06:14mysterious robes, and phony riches.
00:06:16Boy, the suckers will eat it up.
00:06:19Right.
00:06:20And we'll build up the mayor here
00:06:21as the great public defender and benefactor.
00:06:23Yeah, but listen.
00:06:24What I want to know is, where do we get our dough?
00:06:28What about the financing, Governor?
00:06:30Well, that comes under the heading
00:06:31of the managerial department.
00:06:32Let me worry about that.
00:06:35Well, boys, I've got it.
00:06:38We're going back to my old hometown
00:06:40where I used to be mayor.
00:06:42A big shop before Reveal came along,
00:06:44and the bootleggers stopped paying me protection money,
00:06:46and then I quit.
00:06:48My daughter there has an independent income.
00:06:51She's financed my enterprises before.
00:06:53Now, she'll put us up until we rake in a few initiation fees
00:06:56and sell a few robes.
00:06:58Boys, if we work this thing right,
00:06:59we ought to have a couple of thousand members anyway.
00:07:03A couple of thousand, mayor?
00:07:04Well, that many and maybe more if your gift of gab holds out.
00:07:08Don't you worry about my gift of the gab.
00:07:10I'll make the Avenging Angels a national institution,
00:07:13or I miss my guests.
00:07:14And from now on, don't call me Sandino.
00:07:17My name's Sands, don't forget it.
00:07:19American names for American people.
00:07:22Oh, good.
00:07:42Oh, you darling old Mr. Peck, where have you been, why haven't you been?
00:08:01That's a long story, my little dumpling.
00:08:03Hello there, Bob!
00:08:05Welcome back to Middleton.
00:08:07So, little Bobby Sherman is district attorney, eh?
00:08:10Oh, and the best one we've ever had.
00:08:12How did you ever hear of it?
00:08:14Leave it to me, my boy. I read it in the...
00:08:16Uh, Chinese newspaper.
00:08:18That's right, Chinese newspaper.
00:08:22Just think, it seems like only a few short days ago that I was chasing Winn and you out of the apple tree.
00:08:28Well, well, Mayor.
00:08:30Hello, Warren. How's the brilliant old farm crusader?
00:08:33Getting kind of rusty on crusading, but now that you're back...
00:08:36Well, I could help you out, but my services are rather expensive.
00:08:40Well, the public found out once, remember?
00:08:43Anyway, your arrival is a scoop.
00:08:45I'll hurry down now for the first edition.
00:08:47That's great.
00:08:48You might tell your readers...
00:08:50Hang on to their pocketbooks.
00:08:54Great rivers meet...
00:08:56Oh, hello!
00:08:58I'm so glad to see you.
00:09:00And the man owe two dollars to you.
00:09:05Neighbors! Neighbors!
00:09:07Your warm greeting has overwhelmed me.
00:09:10But if you'll excuse me, I would like to have a few words alone with my little, uh...
00:09:20Winn, my little orchid.
00:09:22I brought a business partner home with me.
00:09:25He's waiting outside and...
00:09:27And you'd like me to put him up, is that it?
00:09:31You see, we had an emergency conference with some of the leading citizens of the...
00:09:35Well, where we were.
00:09:37Her departure, in their interest, left us quite unprepared.
00:09:41You silly old rascal.
00:09:43Uh, could you come in?
00:09:48Come in, Mr. Sands.
00:09:57What do you know about that?
00:09:59I must have miscounted.
00:10:06Ah! Queen Tewpleth!
00:10:10Well, I guess I can find room for all of them, Dad.
00:10:13Any more?
00:10:17No.
00:10:18Winn, this is my associate.
00:10:20The renowned lecturer and reformer, Mr. Frank Sands.
00:10:24And my lovely daughter, Winn.
00:10:27Much more than lovely, Mayor.
00:10:30And these were the gentlemen of the three debuts.
00:10:33This is Wolf, Wilson, and Walker, our assistants.
00:10:36Pleased to meet you, Miss Adams.
00:10:38Yes, we've heard a lot about you from the governor here.
00:10:40Uh, not governor.
00:10:42Mayor.
00:10:43How do you do?
00:10:45Well, I expect you're all very hungry.
00:10:47It's too bad they don't put the diner on the train until it reaches Middleton.
00:10:52Got any grapes?
00:10:54I wouldn't be at all surprised.
00:11:02Hey, are those real?
00:11:03Why, of course.
00:11:04What are they?
00:11:05Pearls.
00:11:06Pearls?
00:11:07That oyster must have had the bump.
00:11:15Control yourself.
00:11:16Take it easy.
00:11:17Remember your operation.
00:11:19I still can't figure out why you do this sort of work.
00:11:22I wish I could get more of it, Mr. Sands.
00:11:24It's better than being on relief.
00:11:26But you're far too attractive to be just a servant girl.
00:11:28Perhaps I can help you find something better.
00:11:30Got an alpha seltzer?
00:11:32Wait a minute.
00:11:33See you later?
00:11:34Not if I see you first.
00:11:38What do you think this is, a drug store?
00:11:40I don't know, I'm a stranger around here.
00:11:42Glass of water will do.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:47Thanks, babe.
00:11:52You're welcome.
00:12:10Hey, Arthur.
00:12:11The joke's on me.
00:12:14And the drink's on you.
00:12:17You dance beautifully, Miss Adams.
00:12:19Maybe it's because I'm happy.
00:12:21Your radiance makes that self-explanatory.
00:12:23Oh, you flatterer.
00:12:25It would be utterly impossible for me to flatter you.
00:12:46Uh, excuse me.
00:12:52Meet me, Frank.
00:12:54It's my daughter.
00:12:56Well, I can appreciate beauty from a distance, can't I?
00:12:59Yes, but keep your distance.
00:13:15Are you gonna run for office again, man?
00:13:18No, I believe not.
00:13:20I've returned to Middleton on a greater and more patriotic mission.
00:13:24Mr. Sands here is a noted authority and lecturer on sociological problems.
00:13:29We've been traveling over the country,
00:13:31studying the unemployment situation
00:13:33and the growing restlessness of our nation's youth.
00:13:37After an extensive study of those conditions,
00:13:40Mr. Sands and I have concluded
00:13:42that their basic cause is primarily foreigners.
00:13:45Too long have we permitted aliens and foreigners
00:13:48to prosper by whatever means they choose.
00:13:52I tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
00:13:54the youth of our country is growing indolent
00:13:57and starving. These conditions must cease.
00:14:00There's undoubtedly some truth in what you say, Mayor,
00:14:03but just how do you propose to peaceably remedy the situation?
00:14:07Well, I was just coming to that, Bob,
00:14:09but perhaps my brilliant associate, Mr. Sands,
00:14:12can more ably illustrate our plans.
00:14:15Thank you, Mr. Adams.
00:14:17This is rather impromptu, ladies and gentlemen,
00:14:20but I feel that the cause is worthy of the occasion.
00:14:25The only way that we can save the youth of our nation
00:14:28is to organize them in one single group
00:14:31and through them enforce the precepts of 100% Americanism.
00:14:36Corruption and politics must go.
00:14:38Civic virtue and patriotism must be our goal.
00:14:42We must enforce a reverence for our flag and our Constitution.
00:14:45And what is more, protect our American womanhood
00:14:48and guard the sanctity of our home.
00:14:52We must guarantee that the wealth of America
00:14:54must be shared only by real Americans.
00:14:57To maintain and declare absolute boycott against foreigners
00:15:00is our only salvation.
00:15:02But that's impossible.
00:15:04It's against the very principles and creed of the entire nation.
00:15:07This nation must rise against these foreign vultures,
00:15:10who, even though they slyly become citizens,
00:15:12prey upon our industries and corrupt our insanity.
00:15:15It's criminal to advocate such a policy.
00:15:18Why not one out of 20 of us?
00:15:20My friends, they do anything to control their profitable ends.
00:15:23They control our homes, our community relief projects,
00:15:26stores, offices, prices.
00:15:28I ask you, are we going to sit back and allow foreigners
00:15:30to take the very bread from the hungry mouths of Americans?
00:15:33The answer is no.
00:15:36Emphatically no.
00:15:38The man's crazy, Wynne.
00:15:40An organization like that bound to lead to mob violence.
00:15:44His half-baked theories.
00:15:46Why, Bob, I don't believe you like him.
00:15:48Like him? Oh, sure.
00:15:50Especially his football tactics.
00:15:52Football?
00:15:53The way he held you in that huddle out there on the dance floor
00:15:56looked to me like the beginning of a perfect forward pass.
00:16:00Wynne, my little fresh,
00:16:02your generosity will win the undying gratitude of thousands.
00:16:05You're an angel!
00:16:07That's not the first time I've been an angel.
00:16:09See you later, darling.
00:16:11Yes, bye, darling.
00:16:16You should be proud that your fair city of Middleton
00:16:19has been chosen as the typical American community center.
00:16:22It's a place where the rich and the poor
00:16:24and the poor and the rich and the poor
00:16:26Your fair city of Middleton has been chosen
00:16:28as the typical American community
00:16:30to carry on this noble movement.
00:16:32That ought to bring him in, Frank.
00:16:34Well, I don't see why it shouldn't.
00:16:36Did you get the money?
00:16:37Plenty.
00:16:42Oh!
00:16:45That burns my potato.
00:16:47Potato.
00:16:49P-O-T, pot.
00:16:51T-A-T, cat.
00:16:53T-O.
00:16:54Potato.
00:16:56Say, listen, will you fellas cut out the spelling bee
00:16:58and get down here and help me dress Julius Caesar?
00:17:00Oh, I've done enough already. I'm tired.
00:17:02Oh, say, listen, Mayor.
00:17:04Listen, honestly, do you think that any sucker
00:17:06is gonna fall for all of this shim-sham?
00:17:08We'll soon find out.
00:17:09You know, Barnum said,
00:17:10there's one born every minute.
00:17:13The avenging order of angels
00:17:15originated in the days of Julius Caesar.
00:17:18No, I don't like that.
00:17:24The order of avenging angels
00:17:26originated in the days of Julius Caesar.
00:17:28That's not so good either.
00:17:33The order of avenging angels
00:17:35originated in the days of Julius Caesar
00:17:38and is known in many sections of the world
00:17:41as one of the great organizations
00:17:43for the enforcement of right.
00:17:45You should be proud that your fair city of Middleton
00:17:48has been chosen as the typical American community
00:17:51to carry on this noble movement.
00:17:54Yay!
00:18:00I hope you brought your $25.
00:18:03This will help pay for your initiation fee,
00:18:05dues, and elaborate robes.
00:18:15Join now, my friends.
00:18:17It's the chance of a lifetime.
00:18:19For $25, be true Americans.
00:18:21And my friends, it is the duty of every one of you
00:18:23to join this organizing.
00:18:26Yes, yes, young man. You can join.
00:18:28You're eligible. You're eligible.
00:18:30Yes.
00:18:32Do you swear before this altar of purifying fire,
00:18:35the symbol of wrath and vengeance,
00:18:37to consecrate your brain, your body, your entire being
00:18:40to the principles of our holy order?
00:18:42We do.
00:18:44Then repeat after me.
00:18:46We swear absolute allegiance to our superiors.
00:18:49We swear absolute allegiance to our superiors.
00:18:53No danger or peril shall deter us
00:18:55from executing their orders.
00:18:57No danger or peril shall deter us
00:19:00from executing their orders.
00:19:02Do you swear to be relentless against our enemies
00:19:04and to show no mercy,
00:19:06but to strike with an avenging arm
00:19:08so long as breath remains,
00:19:10rather than destroy a brother,
00:19:12or reveal a single word of this, your sacred oath?
00:19:14Swear.
00:19:16Arise, avenging angel!
00:19:20Join now.
00:19:22The high principles of this organization
00:19:24call to every human being.
00:19:30Who got our jobs?
00:19:32The foreigners.
00:19:33Join now and we'll drive them out.
00:19:49Join now and we'll drive them out.
00:20:19Come in.
00:20:45Come in.
00:20:51Oh, hello, Lynn.
00:20:53Where or why the purple study, Mr. District Attorney?
00:21:00Why, I'm sorry, Bob.
00:21:02What on earth has happened?
00:21:06Before your avenging angels came,
00:21:08Middleton enjoyed peace.
00:21:10Now everything's in a turmoil.
00:21:13The combined airways.
00:21:15After two wage raises, the workers walk out again,
00:21:18destroy property, cause bloodshed.
00:21:20Well, why don't you do something?
00:21:22Have the governor call out the militia.
00:21:24Do something?
00:21:25Like two-thirds of Combine's employees,
00:21:27most of the militia are avenging angels.
00:21:29Frank Sands is behind this whole situation and I know it.
00:21:32You know nothing of the sort.
00:21:34A man of such high ideals
00:21:35couldn't possibly be mixed up in this trouble.
00:21:38I know my father wouldn't.
00:21:41Maybe the people really feel underpaid.
00:21:45Sands has you hypnotized too.
00:21:47Like the rest of Middleton,
00:21:48you've fallen for his slick palaver.
00:21:50If liking a person who is both charming and interesting
00:21:53is being hypnotized, then...
00:21:54Well, it was something more than the avenging angels
00:21:56that interested you.
00:21:58Every time I call, you're out with him.
00:22:00That's my privilege.
00:22:01And you're abusing it.
00:22:05If you could only see
00:22:06that you're lending yourself to a racket, darling.
00:22:09And that it's my job to expose it,
00:22:11along with that fellow Sands.
00:22:12Bob Sherman, your election as district attorney
00:22:14has gone to your head.
00:22:16I can take care of myself.
00:22:18And don't let your personal dislikes
00:22:19interfere with your official duties.
00:22:22Goodbye.
00:22:40Another thousand hoods sold this week.
00:22:42A profit of almost $3,500.
00:22:45The trouble with you, old man,
00:22:46is that you think in very small numbers.
00:22:48Now, instead of a few dollars from a few people,
00:22:50we're gonna make millions of dollars
00:22:52from millions of people.
00:22:53There you are.
00:22:54That burns my potato.
00:22:56I knew you when you didn't have a potato.
00:22:58Oh, yeah?
00:22:59Oh, boy, is that good.
00:23:00The 500, I'd do it again.
00:23:02You're covered.
00:23:03All right, here goes.
00:23:04Round and round and round she goes
00:23:06and where she stops, nobody knows.
00:23:07Gentlemen, I learned that trick from the Indians.
00:23:08You know, my boys, for years,
00:23:10the Indians have laughed up their sleeves.
00:23:11Now, look there, he told her the thing again.
00:23:13I didn't tell her.
00:23:14No, he did.
00:23:15He's honest.
00:23:16He's as honest as I am.
00:23:17Yeah, as honest as you are.
00:23:18Quieten down there, you fellas.
00:23:19Quieten down.
00:23:21I don't know, Frank.
00:23:22I don't like this meddling with mobs and strikes.
00:23:24I fear it might end in disaster.
00:23:26Now, how can it when you're gonna be our next governor?
00:23:29Me?
00:23:30Governor?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:32Well, I guess I can't refuse.
00:23:34Mr. Baker of the Combined Airways
00:23:36to see you, sir.
00:23:37Oh, yes.
00:23:38My coat, please.
00:23:39Get that thing out of here, you fellas, will you?
00:23:41Oh, say, now, listen.
00:23:42I'm 1,500 bucks in the hole right now.
00:23:44Settle it outside.
00:23:45Oh, what are you crying about?
00:23:46You're in the dough, aren't you?
00:23:48Yeah, 1,500 bucks.
00:23:49That's chicken fee.
00:23:50Chicken fee?
00:23:51That must be the way you work.
00:23:52Now, I'll show you how to do it.
00:23:53Hey, what's that?
00:23:54I know.
00:23:55What's that?
00:23:56Come on.
00:23:57All right, show Mr. Baker in.
00:23:58Very good, sir.
00:24:00Mr. Baker.
00:24:05How do you do, Mr. Sands?
00:24:06How do you do?
00:24:07Meet our next governor, Roland Adams.
00:24:10I've heard of you.
00:24:14I've come to you because I know what influence you have
00:24:16on the people of this community.
00:24:18I feel you are the only one who can peacefully
00:24:20straighten out my workers and end my strike.
00:24:23Mr. Baker.
00:24:24Mr. Baker.
00:24:25Mr. Baker.
00:24:26Mr. Baker.
00:24:27I want to straighten out my workers and end my strike.
00:24:30Mr. Baker, my time is very valuable.
00:24:34I'll pay you well for your time.
00:24:36Uh, what do you want?
00:24:38Well, shall we say 25,000?
00:24:4125,000?
00:24:44All right.
00:24:45Anything to get my men back to work.
00:24:48I'll give you five now and 20 when the strike is settled.
00:24:52Well, never mind.
00:24:53Just make out the check for cash and mail it to me.
00:24:57Gentlemen, good day.
00:24:59Good day.
00:25:01Oh, Mr. Baker.
00:25:03Don't forget, Adams for governor.
00:25:10You see?
00:25:12That's the way to handle those situations.
00:25:14Another month and we'll have this state in the palm of our hands.
00:25:17We'll control practically every public office.
00:25:21And I'll really be governor?
00:25:26Look.
00:25:27Each one of those pins represents a branch of the avenging angels.
00:25:30Pretty soon, every city, town, and hamlet in the entire state will be covered with those pins.
00:25:35And then...
00:26:25I do solemnly swear to honorably and loyally uphold the laws of this sovereign state.
00:26:55And to conduct the office of governor to the best of my ability.
00:27:03This man Sands, that rabble rouser that Adams picked up off the Union Square soapbox...
00:27:08And forgot to use the soap.
00:27:11He's drunk with power, Harry.
00:27:13The well-meaning members of the avenging angels have been aroused into frenzied hysteria by his eloquent gift of gab.
00:27:20The entire state under Roland Adams' governorship is rotten with graft and corruption.
00:27:25I'll agree, Bob, that Sands has to be stopped.
00:27:27But his organization is chartered and legal.
00:27:30So neither you or the police department can do anything about it.
00:27:33All right.
00:27:34Tell your readers that the district attorney openly accuses the avenging angel officials of inciting mob violence and strikes for their own personal gain.
00:27:42And not only that, but is prepared to appear before the grand jury asking indictments against them.
00:27:46All right, Bob.
00:27:47Our front page is yours.
00:27:49Cool down.
00:27:50Go home and get some rest.
00:27:54All right.
00:27:55I will if you'll go with me.
00:27:56We'll have dinner together.
00:27:58Sorry, but I've got to put some more rat poison in this Sands editorial.
00:28:02Later I want to drop in on Dave Burtis and his wife.
00:28:05See how they're getting along.
00:28:07Same old Sonic laws, huh?
00:28:10I may need help myself sometime.
00:28:12You never can tell.
00:28:15Say, you owls must think this is an all-night restaurant.
00:28:18The idea of coddling you with coffee at this hour.
00:28:22Well, kid, what do you think of the lodge by now after nearly two years?
00:28:27It's great.
00:28:28Pass the sugar.
00:28:29It sure is a grand thing to love our country, respect our laws, protect our homes.
00:28:35And say, sis, am I proud.
00:28:38Sands may be traveling organizer for the youth division today.
00:28:41Gotta go upstate soon, too.
00:28:43Well, you boys remember Mona.
00:28:45You know, wife and sister.
00:28:48The one with the pug nose and freckles.
00:28:50Oh, say, Mona, you slaved enough for us.
00:28:52Why don't you go to bed?
00:28:53I'll clean up the kitchen.
00:28:54Nay, nay.
00:28:55Mona stay with master.
00:28:57See master go to bed, get up, and catch him job at Jenkins Emporium tomorrow.
00:29:01Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, Mona.
00:29:04You see, I got some important lodge duties to do.
00:29:07Well, David, we can't stay.
00:29:08Don't worry, sis.
00:29:09You'll get more out of the lodge than a hustling freight in Jenkins' bargain basement.
00:29:13Oh, yes?
00:29:14Well, there's a gas bill and a water bill and a lot of other...
00:29:17That's a third of his trivials, my dear.
00:29:19Why, don't you know that Mr. Sands, the archangel, has promised me a big job in the lodge soon?
00:29:23And is going to pay me a rental for using his place for secret meetings.
00:29:26He says it's safer than his own headquarters.
00:29:29Oh, I don't like it, Dave.
00:29:31This is our home and...
00:29:40Who is it?
00:29:41Who do you suppose? Harry Warren.
00:29:44Oh, Harry.
00:29:46Come in here, gracious benefactor. How are you, Harry?
00:29:49Fine.
00:29:50Glad to see you.
00:29:52Hello, boys.
00:29:54Well, why all the murmur?
00:29:56Hello, Mr. Warren.
00:29:57Hiya, Tommy.
00:29:58Hello, Harry.
00:29:59Hiya, Dave.
00:30:00Hiya.
00:30:01Have a chair?
00:30:03Here, have a cup of coffee.
00:30:04Well, that's fine.
00:30:05A donut.
00:30:06Don't care if I do.
00:30:07Are you up on your technique?
00:30:08What do you mean, technique?
00:30:09Dunking.
00:30:10Dunking.
00:30:15Oh, Harry.
00:30:16What are you doing on so late?
00:30:17Oh, a lot of big news broke as I laid my pretty paper to bed.
00:30:21Sherman's going to ask for indictments against the leaders of the Avenging Angels.
00:30:25You're not going to headline a story like that, are you?
00:30:28I most certainly am.
00:30:29Mob rule is not right and never will be.
00:30:32Surely, Harry.
00:30:34You're not in favor of our most lucrative public offices and positions being held by foreigners.
00:30:38Dave, I'm surprised at you.
00:30:40Very few of us are more than once or twice removed from foreign ancestry.
00:30:43I fought on the front lines side by side with this so-called foreigner,
00:30:47where there was no difference in race, color, or creed.
00:30:50Each gave his life willingly for the preservation of American principles.
00:30:56I better not get started on that.
00:30:58My wife will have a squad car out looking for me.
00:31:02You know how she is.
00:31:04Worries about me if I'm out a little later than usual.
00:31:06Oh, by the way, Tommy.
00:31:08I've arranged for you to start at the plant next week as printer's devil.
00:31:11Well, uh, thanks, Mr. Warren.
00:31:16And, Dave, I believe I can get you in the circulation department at the same time.
00:31:20Here.
00:31:21Type out this application blank and mail it to me.
00:31:23I'll do the typing.
00:31:24Then I'll be sure you get it.
00:31:27Harry, how can we ever repay you for all the nice things you've done for us?
00:31:31First, you helped put Tommy through school when times were bad,
00:31:34and now you're going to...
00:31:36Oh, forget it.
00:31:38Good night.
00:31:39Good night, Harry.
00:31:40Good night, Dave.
00:31:41Good night.
00:31:43Give my love to Mrs. Warren.
00:31:45I will.
00:31:47You see, boy, you both got jobs.
00:31:50Yeah, but, honey, if I take the job, I'll lose my relief.
00:31:53Oh, Dave.
00:32:23Now, find how come yourself, Bob Sherman,
00:32:25publicly attacking me on the eve of my next gubernatorial campaign.
00:32:29I don't blame him.
00:32:30You've been the weakest governor this state ever had.
00:32:33You haven't done one worthwhile thing since you've been in office.
00:32:37Now, now, don't start clawing me again, my little wildcat.
00:32:40I'm working for the people.
00:32:42Oh, that's what you've been saying ever since you were elected.
00:32:45I'd rather see you resign than be impeached,
00:32:48and that's what's going to happen.
00:32:50Oh, if you'd only listen to Frank Sands, you'd be better off.
00:32:54Hello, lovely lady.
00:32:56Hello, Frank.
00:32:58Thanks to the orchids all the way from South America.
00:33:02A rare flower for a rare girl.
00:33:04I'm not... I shouldn't have such extravagance.
00:33:08Princess, that's only the beginning.
00:33:11Frank, you seem to know all the answers.
00:33:15Why don't you keep Dad from making so many mistakes?
00:33:18I'm worried.
00:33:19People of this state are up in arms over his laxity.
00:33:22I tried to win, but he won't listen to me.
00:33:24He's so headstrong.
00:33:26I'll keep on trying, though, eh?
00:33:28Please do.
00:33:30Now, tonight's the opening of the Avenging Angels pre-medical clinic.
00:33:33You coming with me?
00:33:34After we worked together so hard on the plan, I couldn't miss it.
00:33:38Until then.
00:33:40Frank.
00:33:41Yes?
00:33:43A fine mess you're getting me into with my daughter while you...
00:33:46Shut up.
00:33:47What are those legislators trying to pull on us?
00:33:50Here are five Senate bills.
00:33:51Sign the top two and veto the rest.
00:33:53But Frank, this tax is too high.
00:33:56It's unfair.
00:33:57I said sign them.
00:33:59I can't do this to the people.
00:34:01Don't hand me a laugh.
00:34:03You don't realize the danger we're getting into.
00:34:05An unfriendly press is the worst enemy we can have.
00:34:07I'm running this state.
00:34:09I'll take care of Warren, that meddling scribbler, in my own way.
00:34:12I'll sign them.
00:34:20Avengers of life!
00:34:22We have gathered together here before this mystic tribunal
00:34:25to pronounce judgment upon our enemy, Harry Warren.
00:34:32But now he has desecrated our high standards of morality.
00:34:36My private investigators have brought me conclusive evidence
00:34:39of his philandering and unfaithfulness to his wife.
00:34:45You have spoken.
00:34:46He is an evil force that must be eradicated at once.
00:34:58Eavesdropping, eh?
00:34:59This is horrible.
00:35:00Dave won't take part in this atrocious scheme.
00:35:02Why, Harry Warren's our best friend.
00:35:04I'm going to deplete her.
00:35:05Hold on.
00:35:06So Warren's a friend of yours, eh?
00:35:08Yes.
00:35:09Will that prevent you from fulfilling our mission?
00:35:12No.
00:35:13My allegiance to the avenging angels comes first.
00:35:16Dave!
00:35:17Good.
00:35:18We'll swear your wife for secrecy.
00:35:20And then continue with our plans.
00:35:25I swear.
00:35:35Arise, the woman avenger!
00:35:38Better take her with us, men.
00:35:40Go on.
00:35:41You have your instructions.
00:35:42Dave, have you got a typewriter?
00:35:44Yes.
00:35:45It's a little old-fashioned, but it'll write.
00:35:46All right.
00:35:47Bring it down here.
00:36:02Hey, Harry!
00:36:04Hiya, Dave.
00:36:05You're keeping pretty late hours, ain't you?
00:36:06Yeah, kind of.
00:36:07I just came from seeing about a job.
00:36:09Say, Harry, could you drop me off at the house on your way home?
00:36:12Well, sure.
00:36:13Today it's on my desk.
00:36:14And I'm going to take it up with the circulation manager
00:36:16the first thing in the morning.
00:36:17That's swell, Harry.
00:36:19Say, my car is just across the street in the parking lot.
00:36:33Come on.
00:36:34Get in.
00:36:38Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his double-cross, Dave.
00:36:42Hey, mug, you heard me?
00:36:43Come on.
00:36:44Get in.
00:37:03Hey.
00:37:04Hey.
00:37:05Hey.
00:37:06Hey.
00:37:07Hey.
00:37:08Hey.
00:37:09Hey.
00:37:10Hey.
00:37:11Hey.
00:37:12Hey.
00:37:13Hey.
00:37:14Hey.
00:37:15Hey.
00:37:16Hey.
00:37:17Hey.
00:37:18Hey.
00:37:19Hey.
00:37:20Hey.
00:37:21Hey.
00:37:22Hey.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:24Hey.
00:37:25Hey.
00:37:26Hey.
00:37:27Hey.
00:37:28Hey.
00:37:29Hey.
00:37:30Hey.
00:37:31Hey.
00:37:32Hey.
00:37:33Hey.
00:37:34Hey.
00:37:35Hey.
00:37:36Hey.
00:37:37Hey.
00:37:38Hey.
00:37:44You swear to be relentless against our enemies?
00:37:46Save all ardent loss, Harry.
00:37:47I hear you need to help myself sometimes.
00:37:49And to show no mercy, but to strike with an avenging arm
00:37:52so long as breath remains, rather than destroy a brother?
00:37:56Now, the works along has made him bitter.
00:37:58Down inside, though, he's 100%.
00:38:01Or to feel a single word of this, your sacred oath.
00:38:13Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his double-cross, Dave.
00:38:17Newsflash.
00:38:18Harry Warren, editor of the Middleton Telegram, was fired early this morning on the Kohlberg
00:38:23Turnpike.
00:38:24Police, with John Bennett, owner of the paper, heard of the scene and received an anonymous
00:38:27letter informing them of the crime.
00:38:29More to follow.
00:38:30Mr. Campbell, there's only one power-crazed individual alive who possesses the motive
00:38:43or the audacity to perpetrate such a heinous crime.
00:38:47Frank Sands?
00:38:48Yes.
00:38:49Warren backed my fight against Sands and was brutally beaten to death.
00:38:54I feel responsible for it.
00:38:57Speaking for the federal government, we are just as much interested in this case as you
00:39:01are, Mr. Sherman.
00:39:03Sands and his avenging menace to this nation.
00:39:06But we are powerless.
00:39:07Every mouth is closed with fear and every court is virtually controlled by Sands' influence.
00:39:14Sherman, with my papers and the People's Party behind you, how would you like to run for
00:39:20governor against Adams?
00:39:23Don't you think I have enough to do now?
00:39:27I'm chairman of the People's Party, Bob, and I'm certain that your candidacy would meet
00:39:31with 100% approval.
00:39:33I'm afraid, Mr. Bennett, it would take more than the People's Party to break Sands' machine.
00:39:37It's a tender one-shot, but why not try it?
00:39:40As governor, you can introduce bills and appoint honest men to carry out your orders.
00:39:46This letter was written on a peculiar model of typewriter, Mr. Sherman.
00:39:50I'll have my men search the town first.
00:39:59What's this?
00:40:00It's an application blank for work from David Burtis.
00:40:07Looks like the same typewriter.
00:40:08It does, it does.
00:40:11Have this typewriting analyzed at once, Johnson, if it matches follow-through.
00:40:14I'll do that.
00:40:16Now, that may give us what we're looking for.
00:40:20Of all people to pick on, Frank, a newspaper editor.
00:40:23Every paper in the country is demanding an arrest and conviction.
00:40:26You lost your head.
00:40:27Now, I'm telling you...
00:40:28Never mind the lecture, Adams.
00:40:29I'm running this show.
00:40:30Tomorrow, those same papers will headline your candidacy for re-election.
00:40:34Well, you know the People's Party are nominating Sherman, don't you?
00:40:37So what?
00:40:38With the Avenging Angels force behind us, he hasn't got a chance.
00:40:41Anyway, I'll take care of him later on.
00:40:43Frank, are you crazy?
00:40:45Bob Sherman is going to marry Wynne.
00:40:47I'm sorry to disappoint you, Governor.
00:40:49I'm going to marry her myself.
00:40:50When I told you to stay away from Wynne, I meant it.
00:40:53Now, take it easy.
00:40:54Lieutenant Governor Wilson could fill your shoes without any trouble.
00:40:57Let him do it, then.
00:40:58I won't run for Governor again.
00:40:59I quit right now.
00:41:00I'm through.
00:41:03No one walks out on the Avenging Angels, Adams.
00:41:06You figured out the bylaws.
00:41:08You ought to know that.
00:41:10We're all in this thing up to our necks.
00:41:14We either get together or we hang one at a time.
00:41:16Take your choice.
00:41:21I must see Mr. Sands.
00:41:22But Mr. Sands is busy, ma'am.
00:41:24But I must see him now.
00:41:27Mr. Sands!
00:41:29Why, Mrs. Burtis!
00:41:33Mr. Sands, they've arrested Dave for the murder of Warren.
00:41:36Well, how do they suspect him?
00:41:38They traced the typewriter used to write that note to the paper.
00:41:42Oh, you've got to save him.
00:41:43You've got to.
00:41:44Now, don't you worry, Mona.
00:41:45I'll do everything in my power.
00:41:47He didn't realize what he was doing.
00:41:49He was blind.
00:41:51And I love him so much.
00:41:57I do understand, Mona.
00:41:59Now, you run downstairs and wait in my car.
00:42:01I'll make arrangements for Dave's release and, uh,
00:42:04then I'll drive you home.
00:42:08I knew you'd take care of it.
00:42:10There, there, there, there.
00:42:16Adams!
00:42:18Call Sherman on the phone and tell him to free Dave Burtis.
00:42:20Or I'll make a fool out of him in court.
00:42:22I don't think he'll do it.
00:42:24Well, call him and find out.
00:42:25And if he won't, I'll spring him at a preliminary hearing.
00:42:33Listen, I don't care what Sands might have ordered you to do,
00:42:36Governor Adams.
00:42:37You're wasting your breath talking to me.
00:42:40I'm not going to call off his hearing and that's that.
00:42:42Burtis is guilty and he's going to swing.
00:42:48I hope you succeed.
00:42:50But I have my doubts.
00:42:51So have I.
00:42:56Dave Burtis released.
00:42:57Lack of evidence frees war and murder suspects.
00:43:00Paper, mister?
00:43:02Lack of evidence frees war and murder suspects.
00:43:10Oh, let me go.
00:43:11You don't think I'm getting Dave out of this jam
00:43:13because he means anything to me, do you?
00:43:15I'm doing it for you, Mona.
00:43:16I'm crazy about you.
00:43:17Had been ever since that first time at Wynn Adams' home.
00:43:22And Dave set you up as an idea.
00:43:24Believed in you.
00:43:25Even to the point of double-crossing his best friend.
00:43:27You're the violent cretin who I've ever known.
00:43:29You're as phony and as crooked as Bob Sherman claims.
00:43:32Why, I'd rather see Dave spend the rest of his life in jail
00:43:34than have anything more to do with you.
00:43:36That's the kind of spirit I like.
00:43:39Now, Mona, you wouldn't shoot that gun at me, would you?
00:43:42I mean, that'd be a...
00:43:43Oh!
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:45You wouldn't shoot that gun at me, would you?
00:43:47I mean, that'd be a...
00:43:48Oh!
00:43:49Yeah.
00:44:16Mona!
00:44:17Mona!
00:44:18Where are you, baby?
00:44:26Mona!
00:44:27Mona!
00:44:28Speak to me, Mona!
00:44:30Mona!
00:44:31Mona!
00:44:32Please!
00:44:33I beg you, Mona!
00:44:34Please!
00:44:35Please, Mona.
00:44:36I beg you, Mona!
00:44:37Please!
00:44:38Please!
00:44:39Please!

00:45:15I can't help it there are hundreds of starving people waiting outside for your
00:45:19answer on the relief bill and you're afraid to sign it oh I promise no matter
00:45:26what Sam's threats I don't want promises I want action prove
00:45:32Oh
00:45:44governor why the hearts and flowers pose, he said.
00:45:47Let the royalty make the call to action.
00:45:51a. Well
00:45:59governor why the hearts and flowers pose thinking over your past sins. Just what I
00:46:05was doing and they are from controlling come on come on step out of it you got to
00:46:10think of
00:46:10a way to disperse that mob outside that mob wants the relief bill or my blood Frank
00:46:15I'm going out there I agree to their demands I owe it to them are you crazy. I
00:46:20can't help it Adams if you go out on that balcony it'll be your last act as
00:46:25governor of the state. My duty.
00:46:50A. After hours of careful deliberation I have reached
00:46:57a momentous decision.
00:47:07Your claims to be just.
00:47:14You've got your orders I can't. Remember you.
00:47:20I will find the relief bill.
00:47:50I. Don't know
00:48:16how to begin. Don't begin. I think I know I was
00:48:22a stubborn spoiled fascinated fool Bob and. You were right.
00:48:31On me. I have
00:48:32a letter here from the president. Stressing the menace that is threatening
00:48:41our entire nation he feels the death of Governor Adams is only one of the many
00:48:45indications pointing toward an unscrupulous dictatorship. And he also commends
00:48:50you for your untiring efforts in checking this. President honors me Mr Campbell
00:48:55know more than you deserve. The president says our only salvation rests with those
00:49:02loyal citizens who love the liberty for which our forefathers died they will not
00:49:07stand idly by while these sinister forces strangle the nation he also has ordered
00:49:11me to render you every possible aid but I am sorry that the menacing mob was
00:49:15responsible for the killing of Governor Adams assassin his capture might have led
00:49:20to the real murder Frank Sands knew that he wanted that mob to kill Burtis because
00:49:25he was afraid to let him stand trial Yes that's true that man seems to anticipate
00:49:29every moment of the law Mr Campbell the law can't cope with an organization made up
00:49:35of nearly all our city and state officials directed by a man who knows how to cash
00:49:40in on mob hysteria we have known for some time we had to break it up on the inside
00:49:44without the law. With someone who could show that mob how they were being do. Frank
00:49:51Sands loves power. But he has one weakness Yes I'm way ahead of you there but he's
00:49:57one jump ahead of me. Two of my best women operators have proven that.
00:50:02He's still interested in me oh no no when that's out the risk is too great no risk
00:50:08is too great. I have an idea that might help.
00:50:14Me I don't know if they get out this way. We'll take them you think of the state you
00:50:20have patriotically responded to my call this is a job for women to to maintain our
00:50:27morality and preserve the sanctity of the home. To assist our men in their fight to
00:50:36keep the home one hundred percent American.
00:50:46To educate American youth to demand the rights of their natural heritage.
00:50:50I selected you because each of you is a leader now.
00:50:55And organize the women of your community.
00:50:59And out of last night's meeting we initiated one hundred and sixty three new members

00:51:15I'm sure you could do it.
00:51:19I'm sure you could do it.
00:51:21I'm sure you could do it.
00:51:24I'm sure you could do it.

00:53:49a couple of. Governor Wilson
00:53:55must be reelected they are no expense. By out the press and radio stations if
00:54:01necessary. Money plus organization is the secret of all political success.
00:54:14And.
00:54:24I'm sorry Frank I I heard the radio I thought they'd gone.
00:54:33That I was came here on business gentlemen I. Spoke of coffee on the dress. Well I
00:54:39must be getting along sorry. I have
00:54:44an appointment. I wouldn't have thought that of her that burns my potato.
00:54:51I'm.
00:55:10I'm.
00:55:22And there was
00:55:23a future governor awaiting a woman in the scarlet row how did you know how did I
00:55:29know the whole town knows everyone talking about you and plan already.
00:55:34Oh that's great. Are you out of your mind when you'll never live
00:55:41a down I won't allow you don't. But there's whispering campaign.
00:55:48It's only a start I can't stop until that whispering becomes
00:55:52a roar and destroys both the avenging angels and yourself I suppose.
00:55:56I can't
00:56:04stand by and see your name dragged through the mud when you're young you've got
00:56:09your whole life. I love you. And if you love me you'll see this
00:56:16game through you will even denounce me publicly when the proper time comes you
00:56:20promise. Our personal affairs are so insignificant besides the service we can
00:56:26render.
00:56:32I'm sorry it looks as if I'm the weak one. Yes I can't take it.
00:56:37It's.
00:56:48Excuse me. Miss Adams everywhere I go I hear malicious
00:56:54talk about you and Mr and I couldn't believe it so I came here to get your side of
00:56:59a story. Please tell me it's all nice.
00:57:07But it can't be.
00:57:15And I said you both up as I deal with. Everything that I thought was. Fine and
00:57:22clean.
00:57:27That's what we've been believing the high sounding lies that you want and dish out
00:57:33if that's what the avenging angels stand for the order is all wrong.
00:57:38There needs to be some radical changes made and I'm going to make them. I've called
00:57:45you leaders of the youth division here to let you know just what our organization
00:57:48has been standing for I personally confronted with Adams about the gossip that's
00:57:53being circulated and it isn't just gossip it's the truth.
00:57:59Chairman accused of sands of inciting strikes and engineering murders for his own
00:58:04political gains I believe it it's all true we've had the world pulled over our eyes
00:58:09good and plenty and instead of building up something we thought was clean and fine
00:58:14we've been helping fans and it's dirty crooked schemes.
00:58:20Why are we going to go about it.
00:58:25That's the way to talk about it as well as showing where I understand American and
00:58:29the only American thing to do is to help Sherman stop the strike.
00:58:34And that's the way to talk about it as well as showing where I understand American
00:58:39and the only American thing to do is to help Sherman stop the strike.
00:58:55That's the only American thing to do is to help Sherman stop the strike.
00:58:57and girls? That should get the votes, eh? And lads. How about your new auto tax bill? That's all right,
00:59:04I'll pay that. He pays all his bills. Our Tommy Franklin and his youth division, completely off
00:59:09the avenging angels. What about the women's vote? Well now, I'm sorry, but that is something that
00:59:12would have to be discussed at a meeting tomorrow morning of the faculty leaders. As a matter of
00:59:17fact, I might say the party leaders at nine o'clock tomorrow morning at the home of Miss Adams. Oh,
00:59:22Miss Adams. Yes, here with Governor Wilson. That's right, yes, right here. All right, now,
00:59:28hold it, Wilson. Yes. Take your hat away from Miss Adams' face. There's four of you in that
00:59:33picture. Stand still, Governor. Okay. Now, Miss Adams, will you give us a statement?
00:59:41What's all this gossip about you and Mr. Sands? Is it all between you and Bob Sherman?
00:59:45I can only reiterate what Governor Wilson has told you about the meeting at my house in the
00:59:50morning. I'm sure there'll be some startling news at that time. Yes, of course. Now, ladies and
00:59:59gentlemen, I guess that's all. Except before you go, I want to tell you that if I am elected
01:00:02governor, I will make one of the best governors. That's it. Money can buy. Thank you. Well, I guess
01:00:11the press conference is at an end. Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you will go to the other room,
01:00:15you'll find refreshments in the office of the liquor control board.
01:00:22That's an idea. Might be like some grapes, too. Well, that's funny. You don't look like them.
01:00:27Well, of course, I don't mean to compare myself to Lincoln or any of them fellows,
01:00:30but I really believe that during my next four years as governor of this state...
01:00:33All right, Governor. Scram. Scram. Scram, yes.
01:00:40Don't pay any attention to all this silly scandal, Wynn. It'll soon blow over.
01:00:44I don't mind. I rather like my name linked with yours.
01:00:48Do you really mean that? You still don't seem to realize how captivated I am.
01:00:54Now that I... I've confessed, I know you're going to neglect me. Only until after the election is
01:00:59over, honey. I'd like to be with you tonight, but I've got to work on some important campaign
01:01:03plans for tomorrow. There you go, making excuses already. No, no, no. Can't you put them off?
01:01:11Take me to dinner. I'll help you later.
01:01:17To date?
01:02:11I thought I... I thought I had some work to do.
01:02:15Oh, forget it. Let's go over to my place and we'll have a cup of tea.
01:02:20You know, you're in a better spot than I thought you were.
01:02:22Yeah, I am. Come on, let's go.
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:36I bet you I can hit him.
01:02:38I bet you can.
01:02:38Oh, I bet I can.
01:02:40Go on, go on, try it.
01:02:41All right, all right.
01:02:41Go on, go on.
01:02:42Here I go, here I go.
01:02:44Missed it!
01:02:47You try. I bet you don't do any better.
01:02:49Go on.
01:02:49You watch me.
01:02:50All right.
01:02:51All right, all right.
01:02:52Go on.
01:02:54Missed again.
01:02:55You missed it. You need another one.
01:02:57Yeah, give me another drink.
01:02:59All right, you try it again.
01:03:00Give me another drink.
01:03:01No, no, wait a minute.
01:03:01No, you missed it.
01:03:02No, I've got an idea. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:03:05You all right?
01:03:10No way.
01:03:10Wait, I'll get him.
01:03:11You missed it.
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:14Bullseye!
01:03:23No, no, what you need, what you need is another little drink.
01:03:27Yeah, yeah, give me another drink.
01:03:29Give me another drink.
01:03:31Yeah, yeah.
01:03:32This stuff will do you some good.
01:03:35Anything you give me, honey, will do me good.
01:03:37Anything you give me, honey, will do me good.
01:03:41Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.
01:04:38You've got to hide me.
01:04:39They can't find us here like this.
01:04:48You framed me.
01:04:51You framed me.
01:04:56Girl, you get your ass up here.
01:05:01You thought you could fool me, eh?
01:05:03Well, I'll show you.
01:05:04Help!
01:05:05Hey, boy, it's Sam, it's Sam.
01:05:07Help!
01:05:09Oh, he's got it.

01:05:15Are you hurt?
01:05:17Are you hurt?
01:05:191789.
01:05:21Give me a break.
01:05:231789.
01:05:25Let me out.
01:05:27Sam, Sam.
01:05:31Please, please, please leave me alone.
01:05:34No, no.
01:05:38I can't stand this.
01:05:40Please take me away.
01:05:42Oh, you can't, eh?
01:05:44Why, darling.
01:05:46What do you want me to do?
01:05:48Forget it.
01:05:50Wynne Adams.
01:05:52Fine lady.
01:05:54Angel of purity.
01:05:56Ideal of American womanhood.
01:06:00What a bunch of saps those poor misguided fools were to believe in you.
01:06:04There you have a perfect example
01:06:06of what your avenging angels really stand for.
01:06:10Boy, what a story.
01:06:34What a story.
01:06:36What a story.

01:07:06What a story.
01:07:08What a story.
01:07:10What a story.
01:07:12What a story.
01:07:14What a story.
01:07:17Why, Epigee's.
01:07:21Might as well be you.
01:07:26Wynne,
01:07:28marry me, tomorrow.
01:07:30Not tomorrow, not tomorrow, not tomorrow.
01:07:36But when I can't stand to see you going through this ordeal alone,
01:07:40nothing is worthwhile without you.
01:07:42All the pitiful victims of Frank's insane ambitions are worthwhile, Bob.
01:07:48Your first duty is to them and to the state and your country.
01:07:53Our being together is impossible now.
01:07:57They've got to believe in you.
01:08:00Pointing their fingers at me.
01:08:04Until the last spark of the avenging angels is dead.
01:08:23The flames are dying, Wynne.
01:08:27Our marriage would only add more fuel.
01:08:31They must never know that I did it deliberately or that you helped.
01:08:36Bob, you're going to be governor. You can't back down now.
01:08:41And sometime, someplace, we can be together again.
01:08:50Where no one will ever know.

01:09:28Governor, their enthusiasm touched me.
01:09:32Your election should drive home more clearly to the people of the nation
01:09:36what bears as a priceless heritage of freedom, democracy, and racial and religious tolerance.
01:09:42It's an honor for me to ride with you in your inaugural parade.
01:09:46Thank you, Mr. President.
01:09:48But the one who deserves the greatest honor should be riding here with us today.
01:09:52Yes, I know.
01:09:54The nation owes her a tremendous debt of gratitude which it can never publicly repay.
01:10:24Stop, driver.
