00:13:30♪♪
00:13:40♪♪
00:13:50♪♪
00:14:01Hello.
00:14:02Sanders?
00:14:03This is Wallace.
00:14:04Now listen.
00:14:05I've just sent out a new driver and he's only a kid.
00:14:08Now do me a favor just this once, will ya?
00:14:10Call Norton and tell him to lay off.
00:14:13I'm afraid it's too late.
00:14:14Norton's boys are already on their way.
00:14:17It's your own fault for hiring kids in the first place.
00:14:20You knew that truck was headed for the junk heap.
00:14:23You told me to hire anybody.
00:14:25Now you've got to stop this thing somehow.
00:14:28This is what I get for going to you for help.
00:14:30You said just a couple of minor accidents,
00:14:32a little insurance money, and I'd be in the clear.
00:14:37Hello.
00:14:38Hello.
00:14:41Pop.
00:14:42Oh, hello, dear.
00:14:44What's the matter, darling?
00:14:45Is business getting you down?
00:14:48Oh, I guess so, kind of.
00:14:50But that's no reason why you should worry your pretty head.
00:14:54Who is there to worry about you if I don't?
00:14:57Oh, I guess there's nobody.
00:14:59You said it.
00:15:00Now get that woe-begone look off your face and buck up.
00:15:03We've had bad breaks before and they haven't stopped us yet.
00:15:06Have they?
00:15:08No.
00:15:16Here it is.
00:15:21Holy smoke, look at that baby travel.
00:15:23We'll have to go with something to get him.
00:15:28Hey, Jeff, ain't that another truck following us?
00:15:31Take a look in that mirror.
00:15:48Hey, Jeff, ain't that another truck following us?
00:15:52Take a look in that mirror.
00:15:53Isn't that another truck following us?
00:15:55Take a look in that mirror.
00:15:58Sure enough.
00:16:00That's funny.
00:16:01Wonder where he came from.
00:16:02I don't know.
00:16:03The rate we've been going, I wouldn't be surprised if we passed him and didn't know it.
00:16:15This is a cinch.
00:16:16We'll nail him on the next turn.
00:16:24How do you like that?
00:16:25He wants to race.
00:16:27I'm going to show him some real speed.
00:16:29Oh, Mr. Frankie, can't we live well enough alone?
00:16:32If you go on the path, the wheels start flying.
00:16:34What's the matter with flying?
00:16:36I'd rather see a dead duck than be one.
00:16:43He ain't so dumb.
00:16:44Look at him pull away.
00:16:45Yeah, and watch me pull right up alongside him.
00:16:54Slow down.
00:16:55Here come the cops.
00:17:03They're after that other truck.
00:17:04Boy, what a break.
00:17:05It is for that driver.
00:17:07One more minute and his trucking days would have been over.
00:17:23Uh-oh.
00:17:24We done gone and done it again.
00:17:25Now listen, you keep quiet and let me do the talking.
00:17:27I'll get us out of this.
00:17:28The last time you did the talking, you got us in so deep we had to get dug out.
00:17:34Hello, officer.
00:17:35Well, what is it?
00:17:36It's a matter of life and death?
00:17:37Well, no, not exactly, you see, but I am in kind of a hurry.
00:17:41I'll say you are.
00:17:42You're only doing 70, you know.
00:17:43Yeah, well, I'm sure I can explain that.
00:17:45Let me see your license.
00:17:46Yes, sir.
00:17:54Now wait a minute, officer.
00:17:55You don't understand.
00:17:56You see, I've got to be in Los Angeles by noon.
00:17:58This truck is loaded with perishables.
00:18:00If you mean yourself and your pal over there, you're right if you don't start slowing down.
00:18:05Look, I...
00:18:06Yeah, treat it with respect.
00:18:07It's worth 15 bucks.
00:18:10That's what I get for telling the truth.
00:18:12No matter what you tell him, Mr. Franklin, we get paid just the same.
00:18:17Well, here, file it with the others.
00:18:19Six on this trip so far.
00:18:20One more and we're eligible for the jackpot.
00:18:22Six on this trip so far.
00:18:23One more and we're eligible for the jackpot.
00:18:49Well, she's all yours, Pop.
00:18:50Yeah.
00:18:51What's left of her?
00:18:52Where'd you pick her up?
00:18:53About five miles out of Saugus.
00:18:55Flat on her back in a ditch.
00:18:58You fellows are keeping us in business.
00:19:00Then I'll see you on the next trip.
00:19:04Now do you see why I wouldn't let you take that truck out?
00:19:07I guess so.
00:19:09All right, Chick, you better look it over.
00:19:10See if any of that junk can be salvaged.
00:19:12Yes, sir.
00:19:13Right away.
00:19:14Are you Mr. Wallace?
00:19:15That's me.
00:19:16I'm George Lee of Canton.
00:19:17Canton, China.
00:19:19Well?
00:19:20Oh, I almost forgot.
00:19:22I have this letter.
00:19:23That'll tell you who I am.
00:19:24Oh.
00:19:29Pop Sing, eh?
00:19:31Good customer of mine.
00:19:33Yeah, do a lot of business with him out of San Francisco.
00:19:35Yes, sir.
00:19:36He's my uncle.
00:19:37Yeah, so I see.
00:19:39Oh, come on inside.
00:19:43So you want to learn the trucking business, eh?
00:19:45You bet.
00:19:46I sure do.
00:19:47You speak pretty good English for a Chinese.
00:19:50Well, you see, I'm not really from China.
00:19:52Huh?
00:19:53I'm an American.
00:19:54I was born and raised in San Francisco.
00:19:56But I always say I'm from China because, well,
00:19:59it sounds kind of important.
00:20:02Silly, isn't it?
00:20:03Well, I'd like to oblige your uncle, Mr. Lee,
00:20:06to look for a job.
00:20:07Oh, I'm not looking for a job.
00:20:08No?
00:20:09That is, I don't expect to get paid.
00:20:11Well, I couldn't.
00:20:12You see, Uncle and I thought maybe you wouldn't mind
00:20:15if I just sort of stood around and watched how you do things.
00:20:18Yeah, but...
00:20:19I wouldn't be in the way.
00:20:20As a matter of fact, I have a pretty good education.
00:20:23I might even be able to help.
00:20:25All right, you're welcome.
00:20:26I'll see you later.
00:20:27Bye-bye.
00:20:28Bye-bye.
00:20:29Bye-bye.
00:20:30Bye-bye.
00:20:31Bye-bye.
00:20:32Bye-bye.
00:20:34All right, you've got yourself a job.
00:20:36Oh, gee, thanks, Mr. Wallace.
00:20:37When do I start?
00:20:38Tomorrow will be soon enough.
00:20:39Okay, I'll be here.
00:20:40Johnny on the spot.
00:20:44Hey, how about moving that piece of junk
00:20:46so I can get in there and unload?
00:20:47Move it yourself, pal, if you're in such a hurry.
00:20:51Hey, I asked you to move that truck.
00:20:53You ain't got no right blocking the entrance anyhow.
00:20:55Take it easy, Mr. Frank.
00:20:56Take it easy.
00:20:57I put it there because I want it there.
00:20:59Yeah, well, I don't like it.
00:21:01Who are you not to like it?
00:21:02Well, who do you have to be not to like it?
00:21:04Keep your temper now, Mr. Frankie.
00:21:05Keep your temper.
00:21:06Watch yourself.
00:21:07Listen, you, I'll move that when I get good and ready.
00:21:09That's what you think.
00:21:10That's what I know.
00:21:11And any time you think you're gonna...
00:21:12Now, wait a minute, you.
00:21:13I can handle a mug like you every day in a week
00:21:15and twice on Sunday.
00:21:16That's all I wanted to know.
00:21:18That's all I wanted to know.
00:21:20What you need is a spanking,
00:21:21and I'm gonna give it to you right now.
00:21:23Oh, yeah?
00:21:24Hey, hey, hey!
00:21:25Break it up, you two!
00:21:26What's the big idea?
00:21:27This jitterbug here thinks he's tough enough
00:21:29to tell me off.
00:21:30I'll show you how tough I am.
00:21:32Why don't you pick on somebody your own size,
00:21:34you big moose?
00:21:35Well, I didn't hurt you.
00:21:36How do you know?
00:21:37Are you all right, Frankie?
00:21:38Yeah, sure, I'm all right.
00:21:39Hit me when I wasn't looking.
00:21:41All right, man.
00:21:42All right, go on.
00:21:43Finish your job.
00:21:44What are you doing back here so early?
00:21:45You weren't due here until tonight.
00:21:47Yeah, I know.
00:21:48Pretty good time, huh?
00:21:49Certainly burned up that old highway.
00:21:50Yes, you must have.
00:21:5260 and 70 all the way.
00:21:53Just as that old truck rolled along,
00:21:55just like it was on wheels.
00:21:56What did you think it was, on skis?
00:21:59Don't you know that it's against the law
00:22:01to drive a commercial vehicle that fast?
00:22:04Well, yes, sir.
00:22:05We know it now.
00:22:06I've never seen so many police in all my life.
00:22:08Why, the road was festered with them.
00:22:10Look here.
00:22:12Traffic tickets.
00:22:13Yeah, but I can explain that, you see.
00:22:15Six of them, eh?
00:22:17Yeah, I know.
00:22:18What did you do?
00:22:19Did you challenge every cop you met to a race?
00:22:21No, we didn't challenge them to a race.
00:22:23Shut up!
00:22:24You're fired.
00:22:25You're the boss.
00:22:27I know that job was too good to live.
00:22:30But look, you don't understand.
00:22:32This truck is loaded with perishables.
00:22:33The man said he'd give the company a bonus
00:22:35if I got it here before noon.
00:22:37A bonus?
00:22:38Yeah, that's right.
00:22:39You can pay for the fines out of what we got coming.
00:22:41Come on, Jeff.
00:22:42Hey, wait a minute.
00:22:43Wait a minute.
00:22:44There won't be anything coming out of your salary.
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:47Let's get this truck unloaded.
00:22:49OK, boss.
00:22:50You're OK, Frankie.
00:22:51With half a chance, you could have
00:22:52licked that big bozo.
00:22:54Gee, you really think so?
00:22:56Sure.
00:22:57He's a cinch for fellas like you.
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:01I got some work to do.
00:23:02Excuse me.
00:23:04Now why can't you be like that?
00:23:06Be like what?
00:23:07Like Frankie.
00:23:08He's got what it takes.
00:23:09Yeah.
00:23:10He can sure take it.
00:23:27Hello, boys.
00:23:28Hello, boss.
00:23:29How are you, Norton?
00:23:30How are you getting along with those new drivers of Wallace's?
00:23:32Not so good.
00:23:33Yeah, some of the cops got in the way.
00:23:35Well, it doesn't matter.
00:23:37I think you've been doing pretty good.
00:23:40Seen the morning paper?
00:23:41Yeah, we've seen them.
00:23:43Seven Overland transports out of business in a month.
00:23:46Nice work.
00:23:47That's what you hired us for.
00:23:48Uh-huh.
00:23:49Did we get an extra bonus for knocking off the drivers too?
00:23:52Well, I'm sorry about that.
00:23:54So are we.
00:23:55Some of those truckers were pretty regular.
00:23:57Well, business is business.
00:23:59They knew what they were up against.
00:24:01Part of the game, I suppose.
00:24:03Not to me, it ain't.
00:24:05I've had about all I can take.
00:24:06I'm quitting.
00:24:07We're both quitting.
00:24:09Listen, you try walking out on me now,
00:24:11and I'll send you up for murder so fast your heads will swim.
00:24:15Well, it looks like we're not quitting after all, Monty.
00:24:19OK.
00:24:20What's the job?
00:24:21I want you to stop those new drivers of Wallace's.
00:24:24Take it easy, Norton.
00:24:25They're only kids.
00:24:26And they've got no business driving a truck.
00:24:42Oh, Mr. Francis, do we have to do this?
00:24:44Certainly.
00:24:45Now, come on.
00:24:49We're sneaking in here with nobody around.
00:24:51Ain't that liable?
00:24:52What do you mean, liable?
00:24:53Liable to get us in trouble.
00:24:55Oh, there you go, Jeff.
00:24:56You're always looking on the dark side of everything.
00:24:58You would, too, if you lived beyond the pale as much as I have.
00:25:02Come on.
00:25:03Get in.
00:25:04No, no, Mr. Francis.
00:25:05I ain't going to do it.
00:25:06I ain't going to do it.
00:25:07I'll rebel.
00:25:08Fine.
00:25:09Talk.
00:25:10Look, you don't expect me to do all the work, do you?
00:25:12No.
00:25:13But it ain't a bad idea.
00:25:14Come on.
00:25:15And get in that truck.
00:25:16Now, wait a minute, Mr. Francis.
00:25:17Can we talk this thing over?
00:25:19Look, Jeff.
00:25:20For the last time, there's nothing to talk over.
00:25:22You're going to learn to drive that truck, and that's that.
00:25:24Now, go on and get in there.
00:25:25I'm going to get in there.
00:25:26Don't do it.
00:25:33Now, what'll I do?
00:25:34Well, first of all, get a good, firm grip on the wheel.
00:25:37That's it.
00:25:38You got it?
00:25:39Yeah, I got it.
00:25:40But I don't know what to do with it.
00:25:41Well, now look.
00:25:42That's your clutch over there.
00:25:43See, this is your starter, and there's your accelerator.
00:25:45This is your gear shift, here.
00:25:47Now, when you want to start out, push your clutch in.
00:25:52Pull your gear shift back into low.
00:25:54Give her a little gas.
00:25:55Let your clutch out.
00:25:58That's it.
00:25:59Now, you're going fine.
00:26:00Now, shift into second.
00:26:01Now, back into high.
00:26:03That's it.
00:26:04Well, you ought to understand.
00:26:05You've seen me do it enough.
00:26:07Now, look.
00:26:08Let's pretend that we're in heavy traffic, doing 45 miles an hour.
00:26:11Oh, Mr. Frank, why don't we pretend that I done took this lesson and forget about it?
00:26:15Well, Jeff, what are you worrying about?
00:26:17It's easy.
00:26:18It ain't no such word as easy with me.
00:26:20Oh, now look.
00:26:21The road's pretty straight here, so just hold your wheel steady.
00:26:24That's it.
00:26:25Now, that's not so tough, is it?
00:26:27Is this all it is, Ted?
00:26:29That's all.
00:26:30Well, I do declare.
00:26:33Sure is pretty country.
00:26:34Never mind the country.
00:26:35You keep your eyes on the road.
00:26:37Watch it, Jeff.
00:26:38You're coming to a turn up here.
00:26:40Turn your wheel.
00:26:41Turn it.
00:26:42Make your turn.
00:26:43All right, now back straight.
00:26:44Stick it up.
00:26:45That's it.
00:26:46Jeff, look out for the car.
00:26:47Couldn't dress it up with the clothes shaved.
00:26:50Now, that's a woman driver for you.
00:26:53Watch it.
00:26:54Watch it.
00:26:55Coming to another turn.
00:26:56That's it.
00:26:57Well, that does it.
00:26:59What?
00:27:00A flat tire.
00:27:01I'll see you.
00:27:02Come here.
00:27:03You're not through yet.
00:27:04Flat tire.
00:27:05Go on and drive.
00:27:06Well, can I help it if my imagination run away with me?
00:27:10All right, now look.
00:27:11Watch out.
00:27:12The road's pretty tricky here.
00:27:13Luck I'm a good driver, huh?
00:27:14Well, we'll see how good you are.
00:27:16I want to see how you'd react to an emergency.
00:27:19Now look, Jeff.
00:27:20You got your truck in low gear.
00:27:21Low gear.
00:27:22You're going down a long, steep grade.
00:27:24A long, steep grade.
00:27:25That's right.
00:27:26All right, now look.
00:27:27All of a sudden, you start gaining speed.
00:27:29You're going 45.
00:27:31Now you're going 50.
00:27:3355.
00:27:3460.
00:27:3665.
00:27:3770.
00:27:3875.
00:27:39Boy, am I fair.
00:27:40Watch it, Jeff.
00:27:41Jeff, you're in trouble.
00:27:42Your truck is slipping.
00:27:43Is?
00:27:44Where?
00:27:45Not you.
00:27:46Not you.
00:27:47The truck.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:49We're rolling along.
00:27:50We're getting out of control.
00:27:51The truck is zigzagging back and forth.
00:27:53Back and forth.
00:27:54We almost turned over, Jeff.
00:27:55We're going faster.
00:27:56Faster.
00:27:57Jeff.
00:27:58Jeff, we're going to crash.
00:27:59There's only one thing to do, Jeff.
00:28:00What is it?
00:28:01Jump.
00:28:02Let me out of here.
00:28:03Let me out.
00:28:06Well, for, well, what do you know about that?
00:28:09A pedestrian.
00:28:10I just happened to be passing by.
00:28:13Yeah, us too.
00:28:14You see, we, well, you understand.
00:28:17I mean, uh.
00:28:18Oh, oh, sure.
00:28:19I, I remembered something I wanted to tell you.
00:28:21And, uh, well, I, uh.
00:28:23Do you mind if I talk to Jeff alone?
00:28:26No.
00:28:27No, I guess not.
00:28:28Go ahead.
00:28:29But, Mr. Frank, you.
00:28:30Oh, come on, Jeff.
00:28:31Come on.
00:28:35Jeff, can you keep a secret?
00:28:37A secret?
00:28:38About you sneaking up on me and Mr. Frank in the dark?
00:28:40Of course not.
00:28:41By the way, what were you doing there?
00:28:43Don't you know?
00:28:44Me neither.
00:28:45Wait.
00:28:46I want to tell you something.
00:28:47About the secret?
00:28:48That's right.
00:28:49I'd tell Frankie, but I don't know how to go about it.
00:28:52I'm a saint, huh?
00:28:53Look, I don't think Frankie knows this, but Miss Walters
00:28:56Patsy, I think she's using Frankie to make Chick jealous.
00:28:59You don't say.
00:29:01I'm just passing it along to you for what it's worth.
00:29:03Is that so?
00:29:04Well, I ain't got for the dime.
00:29:17Hello, Frankie.
00:29:18Oh.
00:29:19Hello, Patsy.
00:29:20Hiya, Patsy.
00:29:21Oh, hello.
00:29:22How you doing, Frankie?
00:29:23Oh, fine, fine.
00:29:24Say, what do they got in these things?
00:29:26Bricks?
00:29:27Next thing to it.
00:29:28And goods.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30That's a good thing I got a strong back.
00:29:31Yeah.
00:29:32You'd think some people would try to help some people
00:29:35once in a while, wouldn't you?
00:29:36Here, I'll give you a hand.
00:29:37Oh, don't bother.
00:29:38I'll help you, Frankie.
00:29:39Oh, thanks, Patsy.
00:29:40I'll help you.
00:29:41I'll help you.
00:29:42I'll help you.
00:29:43I'll help you.
00:29:44I'll help you.
00:29:45I'll help you, Frankie.
00:29:46Oh, thanks, Patsy.
00:29:47Ow.
00:29:48Oh, I'm sorry.
00:29:50All right.
00:29:51Whew.
00:30:02Hey.
00:30:03What are you doing in there?
00:30:08What's the big idea?
00:30:09One of the boards came loose on a packing case.
00:30:13Hey, you really believe in learning the business from the inside out,
00:30:15don't you?
00:30:16Yeah.
00:30:17Well, listen, after this, leave the boards alone.
00:30:18That's my job.
00:30:19Sure, OK.
00:30:23Hey, that's some outfit you got there.
00:30:25Yeah, I thought so.
00:30:26How do I look?
00:30:30Look like you just came out of a mail order catalog.
00:30:33Gosh, no kidding?
00:30:35Maybe they'll be all right after they get dirty.
00:30:37Yeah, maybe.
00:30:38Say, I can fix that.
00:30:39Look, you get this crate loaded while I look for Jeff.
00:30:41You betcha.
00:30:43Come on.
00:30:52I'm a little out of shape.
00:30:53That's all right.
00:30:54You just stick with it, George.
00:31:01Hey, Jeff.
00:31:03Oh, Jeff.
00:31:07Come here.
00:31:08What's the matter with you?
00:31:09Come here.
00:31:13I just made an important discovery.
00:31:15Yeah, what?
00:31:16Why, Mr. Franken, this place is sitting on a gold mine.
00:31:19Gold mine?
00:31:20Yes, sir.
00:31:21Mr. Franken, this is oil property.
00:31:23Oil?
00:31:24Oh, you're crazy.
00:31:25No, I ain't, Mr. Franken.
00:31:26I seen it with my own eyes, seeping out of the ground.
00:31:29Oil.
00:31:30Yeah?
00:31:31Where?
00:31:33You won't tell nobody.
00:31:34No.
00:31:35Right back of this garage.
00:31:36It's all over the place.
00:31:38It's coming out in puddles.
00:31:40Boy, you're nitwit.
00:31:41That's crankcase oil.
00:31:42Well, ain't that no good?
00:31:43No, of course not.
00:31:44Well, can I help it if I was a speculator?
00:31:47About ready to pull out on Mellie?
00:31:49Yeah, sure.
00:31:50All I have to do is step on the gas.
00:31:51You better get a move on.
00:31:52Mr. Wallace says it's a rush order.
00:31:53Right.
00:31:58Frankie?
00:31:59Yes?
00:32:00You will be careful, won't you?
00:32:02Oh, sure.
00:32:03You know me.
00:32:04Well, hurry back.
00:32:05We'll be waiting for you.
00:32:07Oh, boy, that's good enough for me.
00:32:08I'll be back before you know it.
00:32:10Goodbye.
00:32:11Goodbye.
00:32:12Uh, so long.
00:32:15Hurry back.
00:32:28You know, he's all right, that Frankie.
00:32:30Yeah?
00:32:31Well, I hope he stays that way.
00:32:33You going to have any further use for me today, Mr. Wallace?
00:32:37No, no, I don't suppose so.
00:32:40Well, do you mind if I take the rest of the day off?
00:32:43I've got some things to attend to.
00:32:45Well, go ahead.
00:32:46Go ahead.
00:32:47I guess we can make out without you, George.
00:32:50Gosh, I hope so.
00:32:51Well, see you later.
00:33:01That sure was some dinner.
00:33:03I ate too much.
00:33:04I should never let you talk me into eating that last turnover.
00:33:07Glad you came?
00:33:08You know, I was looking over that wreck that came out of the garage today.
00:33:11I think I can salvage most of the...
00:33:13Can't you ever talk about anything else?
00:33:16What else is there to talk about?
00:33:20Oh, I bet Frankie could think of something.
00:33:23You sure like to rub that Frankie in my hair, don't you?
00:33:25Well, if you had half the getup he's got in his little finger,
00:33:28well, you might amount to something someday.
00:33:30Oh, like him, I suppose.
00:33:31Sure.
00:33:32He's going places.
00:33:33But you...
00:33:34If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times.
00:33:37I know.
00:33:38All you want to be is a good mechanic.
00:33:41Sure.
00:33:42What's wrong with that?
00:33:43Oh, you wouldn't understand.
00:33:45No backbone, that's your trouble.
00:33:47To get ahead in this world, you've got to be aggressive.
00:33:50You've got to fight for what you want.
00:33:54Now, that Frankie, there is a man.
00:33:57Oh, I don't know.
00:33:59Well, he knows what he wants and gets it.
00:34:01And he doesn't take anything from anybody.
00:34:03All right, all right.
00:34:05Well, what do you want me to do?
00:34:07Challenge Joel Lewis?
00:34:08No, all I want you to do is to be a man.
00:34:11Don't have suppressed desires.
00:34:12Do what you want to do.
00:34:14Not what somebody tells you.
00:34:16Don't suppress desires, huh?
00:34:18Do what I want to do.
00:34:20Yeah, that's right.
00:34:24Ah!
00:34:26Ah!
00:34:29Ah!
00:34:36Hey, Jeff.
00:34:38You know, I think that patsy kind of goes for me.
00:34:40Is that so?
00:34:41Yeah, sure, I can tell.
00:34:43All women are alike.
00:34:44They fall for a fella, and bluey.
00:34:46It's written all over their face.
00:34:48I'd like to see a carbon copy of that on the face
00:34:50of a Satan chocolate drop I nosed on Central Avenue.
00:34:53Well, looks like I've gone and done it again.
00:34:57Mr. Frankie, you sure is a lady killer.
00:35:00Oh, no, I wouldn't say that.
00:35:03No?
00:35:04Well, no, I'll admit I have a way with them, but, uh...
00:35:07Oh, Mr. Frank, I thought she was a woman, either.
00:35:10Who, me?
00:35:11Well, no.
00:35:12Well, you see, this is different.
00:35:14I mean, after all, Jeff, well, she is the boss's daughter, and...
00:35:18Oh, that is different.
00:35:20Well, sure.
00:35:29Here they come.
00:35:31Here they come.
00:35:38I got no stomach for this setup.
00:35:40You and me both.
00:35:41Someday I'll get an order for this.
00:36:00¶¶ ¶¶
00:36:03¶¶ ¶¶
00:36:06¶¶ ¶¶
00:36:09¶¶
00:36:27Step on it.
00:36:28He's pulling away.
00:36:29He won't get far.
00:36:44What do you want? The whole road?
00:36:46What's the matter with that bird? He drives like he's crazy.
00:36:59Those dirty bastards.
00:37:01So that's their game, huh?
00:37:03I can play that way, too.
00:37:05Don't do it, don't do it!
00:37:25That kid's okay.
00:37:27I told you, sir, we're like a veteran.
00:37:29He'll be a real veteran when I get through with him.
00:37:45Gotcha!
00:37:57Jeff!
00:37:59Jeff, you all right?
00:38:01Don't ask.
00:38:03Wait a minute now, Mr. Frankie.
00:38:05Don't do nothing that we'll regret.
00:38:07What's the matter with you, you big palooka? Don't you know how to drive a truck?
00:38:09Take it easy, buddy. You'll happen to get hurt.
00:38:11Ah, keep your dukes off him.
00:38:15Wait a minute now, wait a minute, mister. Don't hit me.
00:38:17I'm for appeasement.
00:38:27Mr. Saunders.
00:38:29Oh, hi, Patsy.
00:38:31Hello, Chet. Good to see you.
00:38:33Aren't you making your rounds rather late?
00:38:35We were just leaving.
00:38:37Anything wrong? I'm afraid so.
00:38:39Another one? Wrecked.
00:38:41The other side of Delano.
00:38:43Delano?
00:38:45Why, that's the truck Frankie and Jeff were driving.
00:38:47Is that so?
00:38:49It was. They were in it.
00:38:51Oh, Pop.
00:38:53How are they? What happened to them?
00:38:55I don't know. They've gone.
00:38:57Disappeared.
00:38:59Oh, then they must be all right. They probably went for help.
00:39:01I hope so, but I doubt it.
00:39:03We'd have heard from them by now.
00:39:05How come you know about this so soon,
00:39:07Mr. Saunders?
00:39:09Why, it's my business
00:39:11to know these things, Chick.
00:39:13Since these accidents began happening with such
00:39:15frequency,
00:39:17our agents have kept pretty close tab
00:39:19on all your trucks.
00:39:21Oh, I see.
00:39:23Frankie,
00:39:25it was bad enough before, but when they start murdering
00:39:27kids... I wouldn't say that. I would.
00:39:29I know that gang and there's nothing
00:39:31that they won't do and it isn't worth it.
00:39:33And I'm getting out of this business right now
00:39:35and for good.
00:39:37Of course, that's up to you.
00:39:39Well,
00:39:41I've got to be going.
00:39:43Oh, and Wallace,
00:39:45I know you're a pretty hard hit,
00:39:47but think it over.
00:39:49Don't act too quickly.
00:39:51I wouldn't want you to do anything you might
00:39:53regret, if only for
00:39:55Patsy's sake.
00:39:57Yeah, I'll remember.
00:39:59Good night.
00:40:21Good evening.
00:40:23Hiya, Ham Shanks.
00:40:25Y'all got back quick this trip.
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:29I've got some
00:40:31playmates for you, Ham Shanks.
00:40:33For me? Who's that?
00:40:35Stick around.
00:40:37What's he talking about? This ain't no place for no playmates.
00:40:39It's going to have to be for a while.
00:40:41Well, does the boss know about this?
00:40:43You know he ain't part of me having no pets.
00:40:45What is it?
00:40:47Wildcats?
00:40:49I got it.
00:40:51All right, quit shouting. I'm going.
00:40:57Here they are, Ham Shanks.
00:40:59What do you think of them?
00:41:01Well, this is kind of light, ain't it?
00:41:03Turn me loose, Wibble Jaw.
00:41:05Now, look here. Don't you say nothing, Bubble Eyes.
00:41:07I'm the boss around here.
00:41:09Treat them nice, Ham Shanks. They're our guests.
00:41:11Is the boss in? Yes, sir. He's in the office.
00:41:13Well, take care of them till we get back.
00:41:15It'll be a pleasure. Let's go, Dink.
00:41:17Come on. Y'all follow me.
00:41:19Where are we going? To the guest's room.
00:41:21Come on. Come on.
00:41:31Guest room, huh?
00:41:33This ain't the Imperial Suite.
00:41:35Well, that's the best you get in this hotel.
00:41:37Sit down. We've got some waiting to do.
00:41:39I suppose we don't want to sit down.
00:41:41Then you'd better do some fresh supposing.
00:41:43Like I told you before,
00:41:45I was the boss here. Sit down.
00:41:47Yes, sir, boss.
00:41:49Now, that's more like it.
00:41:53What are they going to do with us, anyhow?
00:41:55Yeah, what about this?
00:41:57Well, that'll take a little calculating.
00:41:59But I'll let y'all know.
00:42:01Ain't that a gun?
00:42:03That ain't your Aunt Elmo.
00:42:05You don't know my Aunt Elmo.
00:42:09Well, we got a little surprise for you, Norton.
00:42:11Surprise?
00:42:13Surprise?
00:42:15Yeah, something we know you're going to appreciate real well.
00:42:17Well, that's very nice of you, boys.
00:42:19Uh-huh. You know them two kids that was driving the truck?
00:42:21Yeah.
00:42:23We brought them back with us.
00:42:25You brought them here?
00:42:27Yeah, Hampshire Entertainment.
00:42:29Well, that's very funny, boys.
00:42:31But don't give it another thought.
00:42:33I'll figure out some way to get rid of them.
00:42:35Ain't you scared that thing will go off?
00:42:37What if it do?
00:42:39It ain't pointing at me.
00:42:41Well, if you was sitting where I am.
00:42:43Which I ain't.
00:42:45Hey, how long are they going to keep us in this rat hole, anyhow?
00:42:47Till the boss man say otherwise.
00:42:49And who's the boss man?
00:42:51Mister.
00:42:53You's asking dangerous questions.
00:42:55We just can't sit around here doing nothing.
00:42:57Well, I ain't complaining.
00:42:59Well, look, how about it?
00:43:01Do you mind if I read?
00:43:03Read what?
00:43:05This ain't no library, you know.
00:43:07Well, what about those newspapers over there?
00:43:09Well, if you don't mind reading stale news,
00:43:11I reckon that'll be all right.
00:43:13Well, if there's any funnies around there, Mr. Frankie,
00:43:15see if you can scare up Superman.
00:43:17I bet he can figure a way for us to get out of this.
00:43:19No, you don't. No, no.
00:43:21Sit right where he is.
00:43:23I'll get it.
00:43:25Suit yourself.
00:43:27Look out!
00:43:33Now, just take it easy, pal.
00:43:35Yes, sir.
00:43:37That's a genius. Never mind that. Get these ropes off.
00:43:41Superman ain't got nothing on you.
00:43:45You loose?
00:43:47Look, you get me or did you loose, Mr. Frankie?
00:43:49Good gracious of me.
00:43:51Here, Jeff. Tie him up.
00:43:53You're taking the idea right out of my mind.
00:43:57Now, who's the boss sourpuss?
00:43:59You is.
00:44:01Say that with more interest.
00:44:03You is. Now, that's more like it.
00:44:05All right. Come on, Jeff. Let's get out of here.
00:44:17Hey, you ain't fixing to drive this thing out of here.
00:44:19What do you think?
00:44:21But the door's closed.
00:44:23Well, it won't be long.
00:44:25Uh-oh. Here we go again.
00:44:35What happened?
00:44:37The kids. They got away with the truck.
00:44:39Well, grab that car and go after them.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:35Hello?
00:45:37Yes, this is Saunders.
00:45:39Say, it's after midnight and I haven't heard a thing from those two drivers.
00:45:41What do you know about it?
00:45:43I don't know any more than I did when I talked to you earlier this evening.
00:45:47They probably stopped overnight somewhere.
00:45:49Let's not beat about the bush, Saunders.
00:45:51Those two boys wouldn't leave that truck without a good reason.
00:45:53Now, you find out something about it.
00:45:55If they're not back in an hour, I'm going to the police.
00:45:57You're talking pretty big
00:45:59for a man who's in this thing as deep as you are.
00:46:01I'm sick of the whole business
00:46:03and I have been ever since you forced me into it.
00:46:05Now, you get those drivers back here.
00:46:11What do you want?
00:46:13I heard what you were saying.
00:46:15What about it?
00:46:17Oh, it's nothing.
00:46:19I haven't known for quite some time.
00:46:21You mean to say you've known about this?
00:46:23Sure. Why do you think I'm here?
00:46:25Special investigator for the Olympic Insurance Company.
00:46:27One of Saunders' men, eh?
00:46:29Nope. He doesn't know anything about me.
00:46:31I'm working for the company.
00:46:33You know, we've been suspicious of your setup for some time.
00:46:35But we couldn't imagine a man of your reputation
00:46:37being involved in any scheme
00:46:39to defraud the insurance company.
00:46:41I'm not doing this because I want to.
00:46:43Then you'll be glad to help us.
00:46:45Any way I can.
00:46:47Maybe you'll tell me who you were talking to on the phone just now.
00:46:49No, I can't do that.
00:46:51Why not?
00:46:53I've given them an hour to send those drivers back here unharmed.
00:46:55That's more important.
00:46:57What if they don't come back?
00:46:59Then I'll go to the police with everything.
00:47:01Right.
00:47:03See you in an hour.
00:47:21Mr. Feige!
00:47:23You ain't gonna hide this thing in here, is you?
00:47:25Certainly. This is the last place in the world they'd look for it.
00:47:27But Mr. Feige!
00:47:29Now listen, don't argue with me. Come on, help me get this cargo unloaded.
00:47:31What for?
00:47:33So we can get rid of this truck.
00:47:35All right.
00:47:37Unhook the tire.
00:47:51Now hold this and lock it down.
00:47:53Mr. Feige, look!
00:47:59Bricks!
00:48:01And I thought we were hauling canned goods.
00:48:03Yeah, so did I.
00:48:05People don't go around knocking off trucks just for a load of bricks.
00:48:07Something fishy about this.
00:48:09We're gonna find out what it is.
00:48:13Mr. Feige, I don't like this.
00:48:15You ain't supposed to like it.
00:48:19Hey, it's open.
00:48:21Is that a good sign?
00:48:23I don't know.
00:48:39Mr. Wallace!
00:48:41Is he dead?
00:48:43No, but he's in bad shape.
00:48:45We gotta call an ambulance right away.
00:48:47My goodness!
00:48:49Miss Patsy and Mr. Chick is gonna feel powerful bad
00:48:51when they hear about this.
00:48:53Yeah, they sure will.
00:48:55We better let them know right now.
00:48:57Now the way I see it,
00:48:59this tri-state has got something on Mr. Wallace.
00:49:01So they make him string along in this truck war
00:49:03so they can collect the insurance.
00:49:05It sure looks that way.
00:49:07Well, certainly. So Pop gets fed up with the whole thing
00:49:09and threatened to blow the lid off and, well, they let him have it.
00:49:11Excuse me for thinking,
00:49:13but this appears to me to be a matter strictly for the police.
00:49:15Don't be silly.
00:49:17With Patsy's dad in this up to his neck,
00:49:19if we call in the cops, they'll send him up for life.
00:49:21We gotta figure out a way to help him.
00:49:23How's Mr. Wallace?
00:49:25He's pretty good.
00:49:27It was only a slight concussion, but it could have been a lot worse.
00:49:29Say, where's George?
00:49:31He left the hospital just before I did.
00:49:33Said he had something to attend to.
00:49:35Well, he told you about everything.
00:49:37Yes, and it sure makes my blood boil
00:49:39pulling a trick like that on Pop.
00:49:41I still say this is a matter for...
00:49:43Shut up and sit down!
00:49:45We can't call the police in.
00:49:47Not until we clear Pop, anyhow.
00:49:49What I can't figure out is
00:49:51how we're gonna do it without any help.
00:49:53How about Mr. Saunders?
00:49:55He's got agents.
00:49:57Well, sure. Why didn't I think of that before?
00:49:59Yeah, and I think I know how we can do it.
00:50:01What we wanna do is catch Tri-State with that evidence.
00:50:03That's the cargo of Bricks.
00:50:05That's right. In their truck and in their garage.
00:50:07Now, look.
00:50:09You get ahold of Mr. Saunders and his agents,
00:50:11and you walk in and, booey, we've got them.
00:50:13Who's gonna put the evidence in the garage?
00:50:15You and me.
00:50:17I knew I should have known better than to ask that question.
00:50:19I'll be seeing you.
00:50:21Sit down!
00:50:23Now, look.
00:50:25You two go and get Mr. Saunders and his agents.
00:50:27Have you got it? Sure. You bet.
00:50:29All right, now, we haven't got much time, so step on it.
00:50:31Let's go!
00:50:33This is an awful hour to get a man out of bed, Patsy.
00:50:35Well, it can't be helped. This is important.
00:50:37Who is it?
00:50:39We have to talk to you, Mr. Saunders.
00:50:41Oh, it's you, Patsy.
00:50:43It's terribly important.
00:50:45But it's so late.
00:50:53I know we shouldn't disturb you at this late hour,
00:50:55but we just had to.
00:50:57I'm sorry.
00:50:59It's all right.
00:51:01I know we shouldn't disturb you at this late hour,
00:51:03but we just had to see you.
00:51:05Had to see me?
00:51:07Well, wouldn't tomorrow...
00:51:09Oh, I'm afraid this couldn't keep till tomorrow, Mr. Saunders.
00:51:11We found out who's been wrecking our trucks.
00:51:13You... What?
00:51:15How? Who? Who is it?
00:51:17The Tri-State truck line.
00:51:19Tri-State? Yep, and we sure got the goods on them.
00:51:21You've got... Wait a minute.
00:51:23I don't understand.
00:51:25You've got the goods on Tri-State?
00:51:27Have we? I'll say we have.
00:51:29You know that they've been wrecking your trucks?
00:51:31Sure. And they've got Pop's insurance policy.
00:51:33Stolen from him tonight.
00:51:35And a couple of our drivers are on their way over there now
00:51:37with a Tri-State truck loaded with a dummy cargo
00:51:39that they were going to try and collect on.
00:51:41This... This is terrible.
00:51:43Well, if we're going to catch them,
00:51:45we'll have to act quickly.
00:51:47Well, what do you want me to do?
00:51:49Send a couple of your agents over there right away
00:51:51so we can catch them red-handed.
00:51:53I... I don't think we'd better do that just yet.
00:51:55No?
00:51:57There's no better way.
00:51:59We can handle this alone. Alone?
00:52:01You just leave everything to me.
00:52:03I know exactly what to do.
00:52:05All right, if you say so, Mr. Saunders.
00:52:07Fine.
00:52:09Now you two wait right here while I get dressed.
00:52:11I won't be a minute.
00:52:27Now look, you sure you got everything straight?
00:52:29Sure enough.
00:52:31Okay.
00:52:49Is that you?
00:52:51Hello there, swivels y'all.
00:52:53What you doing up there?
00:52:55I just happened to be through with it, that's all.
00:52:57Yeah?
00:52:59Well, that ain't all you gonna happen to be through with.
00:53:01Now wait a minute now, swivels y'all.
00:53:03Don't wet yourself in no ladder,
00:53:05particularly when I made a special trip to see you.
00:53:07Oh, I ain't that good at making no impressions
00:53:09on folks that make no special trips to see me.
00:53:11Now that's why you're wrong.
00:53:13You made such an impression on me,
00:53:15I'll burn you a present.
00:53:17Yeah? Where is it?
00:53:19In the back of the truck.
00:53:21In the back of the truck? Is it that big?
00:53:23You want to go to a circus and see an elephant?
00:53:25You don't mean to tell me you done bought me an elephant?
00:53:27Something just as big.
00:53:29Come on, I want to show it to you. Come on with me.
00:53:31It's right back here. Come on.
00:53:35Come on, get in.
00:53:37Does it gotta? Can't it come out there?
00:53:39Oh man, come on and get in.
00:53:41But how come it can't come out there?
00:53:43The light hurts inside.
00:53:45You gonna like this.
00:53:53This is the truck, all right.
00:53:55Yeah, they must have brought it in and run...
00:53:57Where's Hamshank?
00:53:59There they are.
00:54:01You two stay here.
00:54:03I'll take care of this.
00:54:07Who's there?
00:54:09It's me.
00:54:11It's me.
00:54:13It's me.
00:54:15It's me.
00:54:17It's me.
00:54:19It's me.
00:54:21It's me.
00:54:23It's me.
00:54:25It's me.
00:54:27It's all too late, Saunders.
00:54:29They got away.
00:54:31Never mind that now.
00:54:33The main thing is to get rid of that cargo as quick as possible.
00:54:35Saunders.
00:54:37Ain't that Chick Daly and Wallace's kid?
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:41Bring him over here.
00:54:49All right, you two, pile up.
00:54:51Hey, what is this?
00:54:53Come on, come on, get out of there.
00:54:57You too, sister.
00:54:59Don't you lay a hand on me, you big bad bull.
00:55:01You tell him, Patsy.
00:55:03Leave me alone.
00:55:05More with Mr. Saunders.
00:55:07Not anymore, palsy.
00:55:09Come on.
00:55:13What is this, a tiger?
00:55:15Put him in the truck.
00:55:17So you're the one.
00:55:19And all the time I thought you were...
00:55:21Get him out of there quick before they tear the place down.
00:55:23They can't treat Patsy like that.
00:55:25They'll get us too.
00:55:27Let me get out of here.
00:55:29Let me out of here, Wallace.
00:55:31They ain't gonna carve me up in there.
00:55:33Who's in there?
00:55:35You'll have to see for yourself, boss.
00:55:37I'm getting out of here before that razor starts shaving.
00:55:41It's those two that got away.
00:55:43Well, that's fine.
00:55:45Put these right in with them.
00:55:51Hamshank.
00:55:53Come here.
00:55:55Get in there and see they don't cause any trouble.
00:55:57What, with them maniacs?
00:55:59Here, take this.
00:56:01Oh, well now, that's different.
00:56:03I'll make old Bubble-Eyes eat that razor.
00:56:09Okay, where do you want us to take them?
00:56:11No place.
00:56:13I said I'd figure out a way to get rid of them, and I meant it.
00:56:15Wait a minute, Norton. We can't...
00:56:17If we do this thing ourselves, we'll know the job is done right.
00:56:19What do you want us to do?
00:56:21Stay here and play dead.
00:56:23Okay with me.
00:56:29Sit down.
00:56:51Hey, where are they taking us? Do you know?
00:57:09What do you care? You ain't coming back.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:13Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
00:57:15Oh, gee, Patsy, I'm sorry about this.
00:57:17It was all my idea.
00:57:19Oh, don't be silly.
00:57:21This isn't anybody's idea.
00:57:23He's a chick.
00:57:25No, no, of course not, Frankie.
00:57:27See, nobody's to blame.
00:57:29Well, then who is?
00:57:31No, you don't.
00:57:33You just sit quiet, mister.
00:57:35This time I ain't taking no chances with you.
00:57:45Sixty-five.
00:57:47Aren't you cutting it pretty thick, Norton?
00:57:49The sooner we get this thing over with, the better.
00:58:15I was afraid this might happen.
00:58:17We'll have to go some to stop us.
00:58:19Pick your foot off that throttle, you fool.
00:58:21Slow down.
00:58:23I'll talk to them.
00:58:41What's the matter, 42?
00:58:43What's the matter?
00:58:45Forty-five mile an hour not fast enough for you boys?
00:58:47Well, you see, it's like this, officer.
00:58:49We're carrying medical supplies
00:58:51for the war relief ship
00:58:53leaving for China in the morning.
00:58:55We clocked you at 60.
00:58:57You're lucky we stopped you before they have to use those supplies on you.
00:58:59I know.
00:59:01We were traveling a little faster than we had arrived.
00:59:03But you see, we're quite late,
00:59:05and the boat sails at nine in the morning.
00:59:07Supplies for a mercy ship, huh?
00:59:09Well, in a case like that, I suppose we can let it go this time.
00:59:11Well, thank you, officer.
00:59:13Thank you very much.
00:59:15Yeah, that's very nice of you.
00:59:17But you better haul her down to 45 from now on.
00:59:19You can make it.
00:59:21I certainly will.
00:59:29That's the truck. Come on.
00:59:35All right, come on.
00:59:37I'm certainly glad to see you.
00:59:39I've just found the evidence
00:59:41that will clear Wallace and save us.
00:59:43I've already told them all about Wallace.
00:59:45You and your pal are the only ones
00:59:47who have anything to worry about.
00:59:49Help, please!
00:59:51Good gracious me! Hold it!
00:59:53Come here, somebody!
01:00:01Get the guns! Get the guns!
01:00:03Get up!
01:00:05Get up!
01:00:09Nice work, Frankie.
01:00:11Oh, thanks, George. You got here just in time.
01:00:15Well, we did it. We're all safe.
01:00:17What do you mean, all safe?
01:00:19If it hadn't been for you,
01:00:21you little war chip wouldn't have got knocked out.
01:00:23Mr. Frankie,
01:00:25you sure is a lady killer.
