00:01:07 - Yeah?
00:01:18 - Did you hear?
00:01:19 Diamondhead Barnaby's getting out on parole tomorrow.
00:01:22 - Just took a sucker for this pile.
00:01:25 Now he's on the hook for more.
00:01:26 - Did you hear what he said about Barnaby?
00:01:29 - Yeah.
00:01:30 - So what?
00:01:33 - So what?
00:01:34 - So what about those diamonds?
00:01:36 (dramatic music)
00:01:38 - I didn't think he'd be getting out of stir until Christmas.
00:01:45 - So is getting out sooner.
00:01:47 - So we'll have to act sooner.
00:01:49 (dramatic music)
00:01:52 (dramatic music)
00:01:54 - There's your money, Ed.
00:02:06 Now the world is yours.
00:02:08 So just keep that chin up.
00:02:09 (coughing)
00:02:12 Thank you, Warden.
00:02:15 Somehow I often suspected you could have beaten this rap
00:02:17 if you'd wanted to.
00:02:19 - Maybe I didn't want it.
00:02:20 - Maybe sometimes prison's a pretty safe place to be.
00:02:24 - It's a good place not to be according to Boston Blackie.
00:02:27 Say, he's a friend of yours, isn't he?
00:02:29 - The only real one I ever had.
00:02:31 - He never forgets this old place.
00:02:33 Sent me a whole raft of new uniforms for the ball club.
00:02:35 - You lost your swell pitcher when Blackie left here.
00:02:38 He's a great guy.
00:02:40 - Yes, he is.
00:02:41 Well, Ed...
00:02:43 Good luck.
00:02:48 (dramatic music)
00:02:51 - Jack!
00:03:18 Jack!
00:03:19 Oh, man.
00:03:21 - I leave a little girl with pigtails
00:03:25 and come back to a full-grown woman.
00:03:27 - I spent all morning getting his permanent.
00:03:29 I didn't think it was pigtails you wanted.
00:03:32 - You'd look good to me anyway.
00:03:33 - Oh, it's good to have a father again.
00:03:35 I've missed you terribly.
00:03:37 - And I've...
00:03:37 - We better sit down, Dad.
00:03:41 That place didn't do you any good.
00:03:44 Oh, but wait till you see the apartment
00:03:48 and the sunroom I fixed up for you.
00:03:49 Why, you'll be rid of that cough in no time.
00:03:52 - I'm afraid not.
00:03:53 - I can be a very efficient nurse.
00:03:54 - Oh, I don't doubt that.
00:03:56 But it just isn't in the cards for me to find out.
00:03:59 This town isn't big enough for me
00:04:00 and certain other people.
00:04:03 I can't stay.
00:04:03 - Can't stay?
00:04:04 But, Dad, I've been planning such wonderful things for us.
00:04:08 - I'd like that more than anything in the world.
00:04:11 You know that.
00:04:12 But it can't be.
00:04:13 Someday, maybe things will be different.
00:04:15 But right now, I've got to work fast.
00:04:17 Before I leave town, there are those diamonds.
00:04:20 They're mine.
00:04:21 Rightfully mine.
00:04:22 - I know that.
00:04:23 - I want you to have them, Betty.
00:04:25 I've gone through enough to keep them for you.
00:04:27 And nothing's going to stop you getting them.
00:04:29 Now, maybe in a couple of days, maybe before Friday,
00:04:33 I'll get in touch with you.
00:04:35 - There you are, Mr. Barnaby.
00:04:43 Box 13.
00:04:43 It's yours for 30 days.
00:04:45 - Thank you.
00:04:46 (footsteps tapping)
00:04:49 (footsteps tapping)
00:04:52 (footsteps tapping)
00:04:55 (footsteps tapping)
00:04:58 (door opens)
00:05:21 (door closes)
00:05:24 (train whistle blows)
00:05:35 - Mr. Black?
00:05:39 Mr. Horatio Black?
00:05:42 - Horatio Black?
00:05:44 Ain't that Boston Black his name?
00:05:46 - So what?
00:05:47 - What'll that porter there?
00:05:48 - Telegram for Mr. Horatio Black?
00:05:50 - Uh, here, porter.
00:05:51 - Yes, sir.
00:05:53 (train whistle blows)
00:05:57 Thank you, sir.
00:05:57 (train whistle blows)
00:06:01 - Hey, porter.
00:06:18 - Yes, sir?
00:06:19 - I'm sorry, I thought you were paging me.
00:06:20 - You ain't Mr. Black?
00:06:22 - Oh, no, his name's Faraday.
00:06:23 - Faraday? - Yeah.
00:06:24 - Black?
00:06:25 They sure don't sound the same.
00:06:27 - Yeah, just forget you ever saw me.
00:06:29 - Yes, sir, thank you.
00:06:30 I'm that's what he forgets anything without being paid.
00:06:33 (laughs)
00:06:35 - Why don't you keep your big mouth shut?
00:06:36 - Well, Chief, now you're a big man,
00:06:38 and I thought he ought to know you.
00:06:39 - Oh, come on, let's look up our old friend.
00:06:41 (groans)
00:06:48 (sighs)
00:06:50 - Boston Blackie's calling card.
00:06:53 - Yeah, we might've known it.
00:06:54 Where's your key?
00:06:55 Get those things off.
00:06:56 - Just a second.
00:06:57 - Telegram for Mr. Horatio Black.
00:07:01 Telegram for Mr. Horatio Black.
00:07:05 - Porter?
00:07:06 - Here you are.
00:07:07 - Is you sure that you's Mr. Black?
00:07:10 - Yes, that's right.
00:07:10 (laughs)
00:07:11 - Thank you, sir.
00:07:13 - Ain't heard anybody call you Horatio in years.
00:07:16 - It's something I've been trying to live down.
00:07:18 - This must be Diamond Ed Barnaby's daughter.
00:07:24 - Say, what's it all about?
00:07:30 - I see by the tea leaves,
00:07:35 we can expect a visit from two very old friends.
00:07:38 - Are you kidding?
00:07:39 This is coffee we're drinking.
00:07:40 - Our past is catching up with us, Ron.
00:07:43 - Uh-oh.
00:07:44 - Well, if it isn't Boston Blackie and the runt.
00:07:47 - How do you do?
00:07:48 - You're improving, Inspector.
00:07:49 That's the first accurate thing I've ever heard you say.
00:07:51 - Oh.
00:07:53 - Won't you sit down?
00:07:54 - Thank you.
00:07:55 - Thank you.
00:07:55 We were gonna skip lunch,
00:07:56 but we kind of changed our mind,
00:07:58 thought we'd pick up a little snack, you know.
00:08:00 - You all eating again, sir?
00:08:01 - What do you mean, again?
00:08:02 - It ain't been 20 minutes
00:08:03 since I cleaned up that number one luncheon.
00:08:05 I remember that gentleman,
00:08:07 he took two portions of mashed potatoes
00:08:09 and chocolate eclair.
00:08:10 Yes, sir.
00:08:11 - Think of that figure, Faraday.
00:08:14 - What'll it be this time, gentlemen?
00:08:16 Is you eating or is you ain't?
00:08:18 - No, they ain't.
00:08:18 They're just going to visit with a couple of old friends.
00:08:21 - I wouldn't exactly say we were old friends,
00:08:23 but we certainly should be well acquainted.
00:08:25 - Yes, we've been closely linked at times.
00:08:26 - Not close enough, Blackie.
00:08:28 Someday you're gonna go too far,
00:08:29 and I'm warning you now,
00:08:31 I'll send you right back where I helped send you once before.
00:08:33 - Oh, that's just enemy propaganda.
00:08:35 You know, it's nice to see you, Inspector.
00:08:36 They tell me you play a very good game of gin rummy.
00:08:39 Will you teach me?
00:08:40 - With whose cards?
00:08:41 (laughing)
00:08:42 - Hey, what is that?
00:08:44 - That's for my ulcers
00:08:45 from a famous stomach specialist in Rochester.
00:08:48 And speaking of ulcers, how are yours, Inspector?
00:08:50 Still barking?
00:08:51 - Yeah, worse than ever.
00:08:52 You sure that stuff's good for you?
00:08:54 - Boy, it's given me an entirely different outlook on life.
00:08:56 - Yeah?
00:08:57 - It's made the world a better place to live in.
00:08:58 Why, you know, I even smile now
00:08:59 when I see a police inspector.
00:09:01 - Oh.
00:09:02 - You take this regularly
00:09:03 and your ulcers will never bother you.
00:09:04 In fact, nothing will.
00:09:06 - Mind if I try it?
00:09:07 - Well, no, not at all.
00:09:09 (somber music)
00:09:12 (phone buzzing)
00:09:14 (coughing)
00:09:22 - It's good.
00:09:25 - You take that three times a day
00:09:26 and I'll guarantee it'll have an effect.
00:09:28 - It's all right.
00:09:30 - I thought you were gonna stay in Chicago, Blackie.
00:09:35 What's the idea coming back to town so soon?
00:09:37 - Better write a book.
00:09:38 - Yeah, you better learn to read first.
00:09:40 Never mind the voice in the gallery, Runt.
00:09:42 It's the association.
00:09:43 - What's your book gonna be about, Blackie?
00:09:45 - It's going to be about you and me, Inspector.
00:09:46 - Oh, yes.
00:09:47 - While I'm writing it, the Runt's going on his honeymoon.
00:09:50 - Honeymoon?
00:09:51 Oh, who'd marry him?
00:09:52 - My dear Mr. Matthews,
00:09:53 have you ever heard of Miss Dixie Rose Blossom?
00:09:56 - Dixie Rose Blossom?
00:09:57 Yeah!
00:09:59 See, I saw her do a bubble dance at the B'Lex.
00:10:01 Gee, she's terrific.
00:10:02 - Now, that's a fine place for an officer of the law.
00:10:04 - Well, I was there on official business, Chief.
00:10:07 Checking over the show.
00:10:08 - Mm-hmm.
00:10:10 - Your coming back so soon couldn't by any chance
00:10:12 have something to do with the fact
00:10:13 that Diamond Ed Barnaby was just paroled.
00:10:16 - I don't know what you're talking about, Inspector.
00:10:18 - Diamond Ed Barnaby?
00:10:20 I haven't heard that name for years.
00:10:22 Diamond...
00:10:23 - The Runt.
00:10:37 That must be our girl.
00:10:39 - Miss Barnaby? - Yes?
00:10:40 - I'm Boston Blackie and this is The Runt.
00:10:42 - How do you do?
00:10:43 - I'm the girl who's going to burden you
00:10:44 with plenty of trouble.
00:10:45 - Oh, trouble's my middle name.
00:10:46 - But he always comes out smelling of roses.
00:10:48 - Roses?
00:10:49 You want roses?
00:10:50 - No, no, but I could use an orchid.
00:10:53 - An orchid? - Okay.
00:10:53 - Yes, O-R-C-H-I-D, orchid.
00:10:55 - Oh, orchid, right.
00:10:57 - There you are.
00:10:57 Keep the change.
00:10:58 - Thank you.
00:10:59 - For you.
00:11:01 - Oh, thanks, but why?
00:11:02 - Anyone who could trace me down as well as you did
00:11:04 deserves one.
00:11:05 - Thank you, Mr. Black.
00:11:06 - You're welcome.
00:11:07 - Thank you, Mr. Black.
00:11:09 - Blackie's the name.
00:11:10 - All right, Blackie.
00:11:11 - Suppose we grab a cab.
00:11:12 You can tell me your story on the way.
00:11:13 Come on, Runt, open the door.
00:11:15 - Yes, sir.
00:11:16 - When I left, Dad, he promised to get in touch
00:11:21 with me on Friday.
00:11:22 - Did he?
00:11:25 - No.
00:11:26 Early Friday morning, I received a telephone call
00:11:28 to meet him in the arcade building
00:11:29 by the safe deposit boxes.
00:11:31 I waited all day, but he never showed up.
00:11:34 Well, I haven't heard a word from him since.
00:11:37 - Well, I don't blame you for being upset.
00:11:39 Why did you come to me?
00:11:41 - Well, I didn't know where to turn or what to do,
00:11:44 and then I remembered that Dad told me
00:11:46 if I was ever in any real trouble,
00:11:47 that you would have me.
00:11:49 - Well, you certainly came to the right guy.
00:11:52 Pull over to the curb.
00:12:05 (engine rumbling)
00:12:08 Back into that cab behind you.
00:12:15 Hey, Matthews!
00:12:23 If you lose us, we're on our way to Arthur Manlett's.
00:12:25 You know the address?
00:12:26 Get after him!
00:12:31 (engine rumbling)
00:12:34 (dramatic music)
00:12:43 - One for Blackie, and for the justice of peace,
00:12:52 and you're for me, and for the bashful bride
00:12:56 and the blushing groom.
00:12:58 (laughing)
00:13:00 (doorbell ringing)
00:13:03 - Well, is this the little bride?
00:13:09 - I'm the victim.
00:13:10 Miff me, bub.
00:13:11 - I beg your pardon.
00:13:11 Oh, yes, that's charming.
00:13:13 Come in, Miss Blossom.
00:13:14 - Say, some layup.
00:13:17 - Well, thank you.
00:13:18 I'm a little short of help.
00:13:20 May I?
00:13:21 My butler chauffeur's 1A in the army.
00:13:23 My cook's got a better job in a munitions factory.
00:13:25 Well, the others will be here soon.
00:13:27 Shall we?
00:13:28 - Okay, Colonel.
00:13:29 - Colonel, well.
00:13:30 - The scenery gets better and better.
00:13:35 - Yes, it does, doesn't it?
00:13:36 Now, now, you will make yourself at home, won't you?
00:13:40 - Okay, General.
00:13:42 - General, well, that's a pretty quick promotion.
00:13:44 (dramatic music)
00:13:47 (dramatic music)
00:13:50 (dramatic music)
00:13:52 - I'm sorry, pal.
00:14:19 I forgot myself.
00:14:21 That's the music from "My Big Number" and "Doll Babies,"
00:14:23 and I picked up my cue without thinking.
00:14:26 - Well, it's too bad you still have to think.
00:14:28 - Say, this looks like the Rogues' Gallery.
00:14:32 - Well, as a matter of fact, it is,
00:14:34 and it's one of the best in the country, I think.
00:14:36 You see, studying the underworld
00:14:37 and publishing books about them is a hobby of mine,
00:14:40 and I've got most of them from "A.B. the Ape"
00:14:42 to "Zeke the Zipper."
00:14:44 Oh, excuse me, will you?
00:14:46 I'll be right back.
00:14:47 (dramatic music)
00:14:50 - Yes, how do you do?
00:14:52 I'm Mr. Potts, the Justice of the Peace.
00:14:54 - Oh, well, come right in, Mr. Potts.
00:14:57 I'm delighted to see you.
00:14:58 The bridegroom hasn't arrived yet, but the bride is here.
00:15:01 - Yes, she's here.
00:15:02 Right.
00:15:04 Oh, Miss Blossom, this is Mr. Potts, the Justice of Peace.
00:15:11 - Hiya, Potsy.
00:15:12 Looks just like a guy I used to bend the elbow with.
00:15:15 - Well, it may be.
00:15:17 (car engine rumbling)
00:15:20 - I wanna lose that seeing eye.
00:15:29 Pretend you're driving off
00:15:30 and wait for me on the other street.
00:15:31 I'll be out in a few minutes.
00:15:33 Hey, Matthews, better send Faraday a wire,
00:15:39 tell him we've arrived hail and hearty.
00:15:41 (laughing)
00:15:44 I'm going to park you here with my friend, Mr. Manwetter,
00:15:55 until we get back with something to report.
00:15:56 - Oh, you won't have to wait long.
00:15:57 - Hope not.
00:15:58 - Well, hello, come on in.
00:16:00 We're all ready for the wedding.
00:16:02 - Just a minute.
00:16:03 Oh, this is Miss Barnaby.
00:16:05 - What, is this gonna be a double wedding?
00:16:06 - Well, you're a little ahead of yourself, Mr. Cupid.
00:16:08 I'm leaving Miss Barnaby in your care for a few hours,
00:16:10 and no questions asked.
00:16:11 - No questions.
00:16:12 - Oh, where's Dixie, where's Dixie?
00:16:14 - Oh, she's here, she's here, ready for the big event.
00:16:16 - Oh, hello, Dixie, my big boy.
00:16:19 - Oh, baby.
00:16:21 I'm so happy to see you, honey.
00:16:24 - Hello, glad you're here.
00:16:26 Now I can have a bridesmaid,
00:16:27 and it won't be like I'm entertaining at a convention.
00:16:29 - Well, I'm sorry, but the ceremony must wait.
00:16:32 - What do you mean?
00:16:33 Nothing has a priority on this wedding.
00:16:35 - Oh, now, wait a minute, Blackie,
00:16:36 after all the sudden, you know,
00:16:37 a guy only gets married once in a great while,
00:16:39 and I think Dixie is right.
00:16:40 - There's no argument there, Rudd, but this can't wait.
00:16:43 See you later, Miss Barnaby.
00:16:44 - Well, now, really-- - Come on, Rudd.
00:16:45 - Oh, Miss Barnaby, I-- - Say, wait a minute.
00:16:48 Who's the boss here, Blackie or me?
00:16:50 - Well, honey, I'm awfully sorry.
00:16:53 I'm just as anxious to get married as you are,
00:16:54 but wherever Blackie goes, I gotta go,
00:16:56 and after all, it's only gonna be a difference
00:16:58 of an hour or so, and I'll be back.
00:16:59 - Come on, Rudd.
00:17:00 Out you go.
00:17:01 Now, now, I think if you and I open
00:17:05 a vintage bottle of champagne, it won't seem like an hour.
00:17:08 - Come on, Luddy old man, lead me to it.
00:17:10 - Yes.
00:17:11 - Well, are we ready?
00:17:14 - The main event has to be postponed an hour.
00:17:16 The groom's still weighing in.
00:17:18 - Don't be a sucker.
00:17:19 We know you turned that 100 grand into diamonds.
00:17:22 - Sure I did, but they're mine,
00:17:24 and that's all you're gonna get out of me.
00:17:26 - And all the time you were hiding in the stir,
00:17:28 we sat back and waited.
00:17:29 Now you're gonna give us some action.
00:17:31 - Those diamonds are going to my daughter,
00:17:33 and if anything ever happens to me,
00:17:35 you're gonna have Boston Blackie on your neck.
00:17:38 (chuckles)
00:17:40 - Ain't nothing funny about it, Mug.
00:17:42 (thudding)
00:17:46 - Sign opposite 42, and the box is yours for 30 days.
00:17:52 - 42, huh?
00:17:53 There we are.
00:17:57 Oh, now look what you've done.
00:18:00 You're very clumsy.
00:18:03 You can knock down more things
00:18:04 than a guy in a shooting gallery.
00:18:05 - Well, I'm sorry, I--
00:18:06 - Oh, okay, okay.
00:18:07 Sorry, no harm done.
00:18:16 The box is right over there.
00:18:18 - Thanks.
00:18:19 Keep him busy.
00:18:23 - All right.
00:18:23 (footsteps tapping)
00:18:26 - Selling these cigars here?
00:18:45 - Oh, yes, most any kind.
00:18:46 - Oh, really?
00:18:47 Well, it's fine, I have a friend of mine,
00:18:49 he sort of smokes a special brand,
00:18:50 it's a pachydermis chitin cigar,
00:18:51 and he's a affidavit, I like the way he--
00:18:52 - Cigar? - I like him.
00:18:54 - Well, there might be something over here you'd like.
00:18:56 - Thanks very much, I don't know what they are,
00:18:58 but I know I can tell when I see them.
00:19:00 Please, we do have to--
00:19:01 - Oh, yes, yes, any one of them.
00:19:03 - Well, I don't know, you see them other kind--
00:19:05 - Oh, Grant, I put all my papers away
00:19:07 and you haven't bought a cigar yet.
00:19:08 - Well, you didn't have a--
00:19:09 - I haven't got much time, thank you very much.
00:19:10 - Well, see you later, thanks again.
00:19:12 - I was hoping the mummy'd feel like talking by now,
00:19:17 but tie him up, won't you?

00:21:48 (spoon clinks)
00:21:52 - Hiya Chief.
00:21:54 Hey, just in time.
00:21:56 Say, how much ketchup did Blackie put in this stuff?
00:21:58 - Oh, I wouldn't be knowing, Chief. It's your ulcers.
00:22:02 - Well...this is all right.
00:22:15 (coughs)
00:22:19 Yeah, that's good.
00:22:22 Hey, you were supposed to be sticking with Blackie.
00:22:25 - Well...I waited in front of Man Letters for Blackie to come out, and...
00:22:29 suddenly, I got a hunch something was wrong.
00:22:32 - Don't you ever get a hunch that something is right?
00:22:34 Well, see if you can answer that telephone.
00:22:36 (phone rings)
00:22:37 - Uh, Faraday's office, Matthew speaking.
00:22:39 - This is Diamond Ed Barnaby.
00:22:41 - It's Barnaby! - I'll take it.
00:22:44 - Hello, Barnaby? - I'm on a spot.
00:22:47 Two men are going to the arcade building.
00:22:50 Safe deposit boxes.
00:22:53 Open...number 13.
00:22:56 There are some diamonds--
00:22:58 (gunshot)
00:23:00 - Hello?
00:23:02 Hello, Barnaby?
00:23:05 (knocking)
00:23:07 Hello?
00:23:10 (knocking)
00:23:12 Operator...operator, trace that call!
00:23:16 (door closes)
00:23:18 - You are back so soon? - Yes, I have some papers I want to put in my box.
00:23:23 - Say, how about one of them cigars? - Oh, you mean one of your fancy kinds?
00:23:26 - Yeah. - Right over here, sir.
00:23:29 - Hey, wait a minute, what's the idea?
00:23:32 - You can ask questions later. - I just-- - Shut up.
00:23:37 (footsteps)
00:23:40 - All right, that's all, Blackie. Put 'em up and turn around.
00:23:48 A little something here for your wrists. - Oh, not these things again, Inspector.
00:23:51 - You're not going to get out of these, he's a new type.
00:23:53 - Is there anything wrong with a man renting a safe deposit box?
00:23:56 - Hey, what's going on here? - You ever see these two fellas before?
00:23:58 - Yes sir, I rented him a box a little while ago. - Thank you very much.
00:24:02 - Yes, but that's not the box I rented him. - Hey Chief, that's at box 13.
00:24:05 - Oh, there's nothing wrong with a man renting a safety deposit box,
00:24:08 but there is something wrong with a man fishing around a box that doesn't belong to him.
00:24:11 Open it up, Matthews, let's see what he was after.
00:24:13 - There you are.
00:24:16 Hey Chief, this box is empty. - I'll get the book and look it up.
00:24:22 - Uh, don't bother. That box belongs to Diamond Ed Barnaby.
00:24:26 - Ho ho, for once in your life you're talking too much, Blackie, and I'm going to hold it against you.
00:24:30 You bumped him off to get the key and grabbed those diamonds.
00:24:33 - Bumped who off? - Ed Barnaby.
00:24:35 You stuck your neck out this time, Blackie.
00:24:38 It was me Barnaby was talking to on the phone when you shot him.
00:24:41 - Television has certainly made terrific strides.
00:24:43 It's got to the point when police inspectors can see things that never happened.
00:24:46 - Hey Chief, maybe if we took them over to Flamingo Club,
00:24:49 it wouldn't take television to see what they did.
00:24:52 - Start walking. - Sure.
00:25:01 - It's impossible to get here before the cops. - Cops?
00:25:04 - Yeah, Faraday and Matthews are on their way up here with Boston Blackie and the runt.
00:25:07 - They said something about Blackie bumping off Barnaby.
00:25:09 - Well, we got the arcade there with Boston Blackie trying to get into box 13 when Faraday nabbed him.
00:25:14 - What we want to know is how did the cops get wise to that safety deposit box?
00:25:17 - This is no time for riddles. Right now we've got something more important on our hands. Come on.
00:25:22 (footsteps)
00:25:25 - All right, get out.
00:25:35 - It's a little early to go night clubbing, don't you think so, Inspector?
00:25:38 - All right, go ahead. - Bye.
00:25:42 (footsteps)
00:25:46 (footsteps)
00:26:12 - May I sit down? - Sit down.
00:26:14 - Nobody telephoned the police from here and nobody was bumped off.
00:26:17 - The call was traced here. - Well, couldn't some dope make a mistake?
00:26:20 - (laughing) There's your answer, Inspector.
00:26:24 Now if you want to, you can look around some more, but I'll buy a round of drinks for everybody you turn up.
00:26:29 - Well, that's very generous of you, Herschel, but you're forgetting the Inspector's ulcers.
00:26:32 Or did my remedy cure them?
00:26:34 - Don't get too flip-floppy. I'm not through with you. I'm still holding you on suspicion.
00:26:38 - Suspicion of what? Stealing something from an empty box?
00:26:41 - Or murdering a little man that wasn't there?
00:26:43 - It wasn't the little man who wasn't there who talked to me on the telephone, and I have Matthews as a witness.
00:26:47 - Well, I wouldn't brag about that.
00:26:50 - Now if there's anything else I can do, Inspector...
00:26:53 - Maybe later, but I've got a hunch a little questioning of Blanky down at headquarters will solve my problem.
00:26:57 - I'll answer any question you care to ask me, Inspector, including the $64 one.
00:27:01 - Hmm...
00:27:02 - But you don't want it on your conscience that you're keeping an innocent bridegroom from the altar.
00:27:06 - Let him go.
00:27:09 - But Chief... - Let him go!
00:27:11 - Thanks, Blanky. - Oh, it's all right. Run!
00:27:21 - Someday you may wish you were still handcuffed to Matthews.
00:27:25 - But of course, that's something every man must find out for himself.
00:27:28 - Yeah.
00:27:30 - Shall we go along, Inspector?
00:27:32 - Go ahead.
00:27:34 - Thank you.
00:27:38 - When we get down to the office, maybe you'll open up and tell us where you hid Barnaby's body.
00:27:41 - The way you're wasting gasoline and tires, Inspector, I've a good mind to report you to the ration board.
00:27:46 - Want a cigarette?
00:27:50 - No.
00:27:51 - Thank you.
00:27:54 - All right, now if you'll cut out your horsing around and answer my questions,
00:27:59 - I'll win the set of encyclopedias.
00:28:01 - Hey, what are you doing?
00:28:03 - Putting up blackout drapes. I gotta cover these windows.
00:28:06 - There's a trial blackout tonight.
00:28:08 - All right, but make it snappy, will you?
00:28:11 - I'll get that, Inspector.
00:28:12 - Dr. Faraday's asylum. It's for you.
00:28:16 - Hello, Faraday...
00:28:19 - Are you comfortable? - Yes, thanks.
00:28:21 - Faraday speaking.
00:28:22 - Listen, look, I'm a busy man. Can you...
00:28:25 - Cut it out, will you? No, not you.
00:28:28 - Listen, I'm a busy man. Can't you give that case to somebody else?
00:28:31 - I can come back later if you want to...
00:28:33 - Will you shut up?
00:28:34 - I don't mean you.
00:28:35 - All right, give it to me.
00:28:37 - Wanted for bigamy. Five foot, ten and a half tall.
00:28:40 - Blonde hair. Brown eyes.
00:28:43 - Mole on left shoulder.
00:28:45 - Fair complexion.
00:28:47 - When last seen was kissing his second husband goodbye.
00:28:51 - Wanted for bigamy. Yeah, I got it.
00:28:54 - Inspector!
00:28:56 - Look!
00:28:57 - Whoa!
00:29:04 - Get me out of this!
00:29:05 - Get me out of this!
00:29:07 - There you are, Inspector!
00:29:08 - Why, you...
00:29:10 - That your card?
00:29:18 - Well, I missed that.
00:29:20 - Here's another one that Blackie showed me, though, that I do pretty well.
00:29:24 - Maybe that's Blackie now.
00:29:30 - Yes, that's probably it.
00:29:31 - Here comes the groom.
00:29:33 - Here comes the groom.
00:29:34 - Sweep up the groom.
00:29:36 - Oh, hello.
00:29:39 - Where's Blackie?
00:29:40 - Oh, he'll be coming along soon. He always does.
00:29:42 - Oh, hello, honey blossom.
00:29:44 - Did you miss me, baby?
00:29:45 - No, I love playing second fiddle to Blackie.
00:29:47 - Look, is he all right?
00:29:49 - Oh, he's... I had Blackie all right. Of course he's all right.
00:29:51 - Did you ever see Blackie when he wasn't all right?
00:29:53 - He just got a little mixed up with Farity, that was all.
00:29:55 - You mean Blackie's in trouble with the police?
00:29:57 - Oh, no, darling, that's nothing new. Don't worry.
00:29:59 - Well, has it anything to do with my father?
00:30:02 - Well, I don't know. He just told me to go ahead and get married.
00:30:05 - So, come on, let's everybody hurry up.
00:30:07 - Oh, we can't hurry because Pa's twin, the little justice of the...
00:30:10 - But I'll get him back. I'll get him back.
00:30:11 - Oh, do that. Hurry up. Hurry up.
00:30:13 - Oh, hello, baby.
00:30:16 - Take a look at this, Joe.
00:30:24 - When Blackie gets away, he's a hard man to find.
00:30:31 - Beck and I wish we could find him.
00:30:33 - Why?
00:30:36 - Well, if you put two and two together, it adds up something like this.
00:30:39 - Blackie didn't open up that box to 18 just for his health.
00:30:42 - That's right.
00:30:44 - He might have had that box open before Farity got there.
00:30:47 - That's why Farity found that box empty.
00:30:49 - Because Blackie already had his mitts on those diamonds.
00:30:52 - Now, don't that make sense?
00:30:53 - Maybe.
00:30:55 - But if Blackie had the diamonds, wouldn't Farity have found them?
00:31:00 - Don't that make sense?
00:31:01 - Yeah, I know, but Blackie's pretty smart. And Faraday ain't.
00:31:05 - Well, you can't argue with me about Faraday being dumb.
00:31:09 - But the old flatfoot hasn't all the dumbness around here.
00:31:13 - Suppose you let me do the thinking, huh?
00:31:20 - We've done pretty well up to now.

00:31:59 (MUFFLED TALKING)
00:32:19 - You certainly are a fine-looking threesome.
00:32:24 - I'll get you out of this.
00:32:25 (MUFFLED TALKING)
00:32:26 - I mean forcibly.
00:32:31 - Oh, thank heaven the Marines have landed.
00:32:33 - The situation is well in hand.
00:32:35 - Yes, but it isn't.
00:32:36 - Who did this?
00:32:37 - I think they were a couple of pals of Herschel's.
00:32:38 - Well, they certainly weren't pals of ours.
00:32:39 - I might have known Joe Herschel would have something to do with this.
00:32:41 - Oh, Blackie, it was wonderful, though. The human with a gun's level like this.
00:32:44 - It's great stuff for the book.
00:32:45 - You can give me the gruesome details tomorrow, Arthur.
00:32:46 - Right now, I'm concerned about Betty.
00:32:48 - We're going to the Flamingo Club, Rud. We've got work to do.
00:32:50 - Okay.
00:32:51 - Wait a minute. Are you going to walk out on me again?
00:32:53 - Well, honey, I'm awfully sorry, but I've got to go...
00:32:54 - Oh, Blackie, look at this note. Isn't this wonderful for the book?
00:32:57 It says, "Bring the diamonds."
00:32:58 - That's it. I'm supposed to bring some diamonds I haven't got.
00:33:01 I...
00:33:03 You see, I'm doing a book. I'm publishing a book of Blackie's.
00:33:06 A criminal.
00:33:07 Get that brooch.
00:33:09 And this will look wonderful. It's a real thing.
00:33:13 - Oh, gee, honey, I'm awfully sorry.
00:33:14 This had to happen on our wedding day.
00:33:16 But don't worry about anything. Everything is going to be all right.
00:33:18 And I'll be back very quick.
00:33:20 - Oh!
00:33:21 - Goodbye, dear. Don't you worry about a thing.
00:33:23 - Come on. - Come on, Blackie.
00:33:24 - What brought on that blitz crew?
00:33:25 - Blackie, Blackie, wait a minute, will you?
00:33:27 I've got the camera. We'll get some great pictures.
00:33:29 You two amuse yourself, will you, while we go on? I'll be back.

00:34:22 - Hey, suppose I let him chase me and you can sneak in?
00:34:25 - No, no, I'll go in the back way.
00:34:27 That's better than you playing tag with Faraday.
00:34:28 - Now, listen, Blackie, be careful, because you know those guys are killers.
00:34:31 - Yeah. Well, if I'm not out in 20 minutes, you fellas can come after me.

00:35:23 - Why, they're worth twice that much.
00:35:25 - 40's tops.
00:35:27 - Look, don't squeeze me.
00:35:30 - They're hot.
00:35:33 - You won't see such beauties again.
00:35:41 - I'm not a collector, Joe.
00:35:43 With me, it's just cold business.
00:35:46 (ENGINE STARTS)
00:35:47 - Is this tin spot the smallest you got?
00:36:15 - It's not only the smallest, it's the oldest I got.

00:36:23 - It ain't no cow fiddle, mister.

00:36:47 Where's your manners, ignorant?
00:36:49 - Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:36:51 May I use your wash basin?
00:36:53 - Don't you know better than to bust in
00:36:55 a lady's dressing room without knocking?
00:36:57 I said, don't you know better than...
00:37:00 Say, what are you doing?
00:37:06 Putting on makeup or what?

00:37:12 - My bull fiddle, where did you put it?
00:37:15 - I put it right there.

00:37:19 A friend of yours just took it inside.
00:37:21 - Thank you, sir.
00:37:23 - Then there's no deal.
00:37:27 - Sorry, Joe.
00:37:29 - I can depend on you to keep your mouth shut, huh?

00:39:25 - Well, Blackie.
00:39:28 Glad you had sense enough to answer that note.
00:39:30 - Yes. I know when I'm hooked.
00:39:33 - Stop stalling. You got those Barnaby diamonds?
00:39:35 - Oh, dear.
00:39:36 (CHUCKLES)
00:39:38 Sure, I have them.
00:39:39 But there was something in that illiterate note of yours
00:39:42 about me getting a girl in exchange.
00:39:44 We're going to get those stones first.
00:39:46 Give them the once-over.
00:39:49 If you find them, I'm slipping.
00:39:53 Cut it out.
00:39:56 Nothing doing until Miss Betty Barnaby is signed, sealed and delivered to me.
00:40:00 - All right, Beck.
00:40:02 Unlock the door.
00:40:03 Inside, Blackie.
00:40:06 Just a minute.
00:40:12 That's our part of the bargain.
00:40:14 Now, how about yours?
00:40:15 - That's fair enough.
00:40:18 - Hmm.
00:40:24 There you are, gentlemen.
00:40:29 - There you are, gentlemen.
00:40:30 - Well, that's a new way of hiding diamonds.
00:40:36 - Well, why didn't you look in the pipe?
00:40:37 - I will... Ooh.
00:40:38 Well, it's been nice seeing you.
00:40:41 The both of you.
00:40:42 - Sorry, I can't say. The feeling is mutual.
00:40:44 - What's going on here?
00:40:51 - Mr. Herschel, meet Miss Betty Barnaby and Boston Blackie.
00:40:54 Now, none of us is charmed, I'm sure.
00:40:56 - Beck and me was right, Joe.
00:40:57 Blackie had those diamonds all the time.
00:40:59 - We did a little snooping of our own and this is what we found.
00:41:01 - Let's see them.
00:41:02 These aren't the diamonds.
00:41:06 - Joe, those are the things that you...
00:41:08 - You heard me. I say these aren't the diamonds.
00:41:10 - How would you know, Herschel?
00:41:12 - Because I've seen the real ones before.
00:41:14 - So you tried to cross us, did you?
00:41:21 - Oh!
00:41:23 - Come on.
00:41:24 - Stand back.
00:41:40 - Stand back.
00:41:41 - It's bolted from the inside.
00:42:06 - It's bolted from the inside.
00:42:07 - There's the Runt and Manletter down there.
00:42:17 - I hope I can make them hear me.
00:42:20 - Hey, Runt!
00:42:22 - Say, how long we been here?
00:42:25 - Well, it's not quite 20 minutes yet.
00:42:27 - I got it.
00:42:34 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
00:42:36 - Hey, that's Blackie.
00:43:00 - Hey, Blackie!
00:43:02 - Blackie!
00:43:03 - Come on, give me a boost, will you?
00:43:05 - Sure.
00:43:06 - Come on, I'll put you here.
00:43:09 - I was wrong, boys.
00:43:30 - Blackie has got the real diamonds.
00:43:32 - Ladies first, Betty.
00:43:44 - Watch your step now, it's only a few feet.
00:43:46 - Take her hand, Runt.
00:43:49 - One more step and you're a dead pigeon.
00:43:56 - Beat it, you two. Don't call the cops.
00:43:58 - Come on, get down.
00:44:00 - Boys, I always knew it was a nicer place for a chap.
00:44:03 - What's going on?
00:44:16 - That's a blackout.
00:44:21 - Don't you try anything.

00:44:47 - They got him.
00:44:48 - What do you mean?
00:44:49 - They caught him up there on the roof.
00:44:50 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
00:44:52 - There he is.
00:45:16 - There he is.
00:45:18 - Sorry, I can't invite you gentlemen down here with me,
00:45:20 but I'm afraid there isn't enough room.
00:45:22 - We're inviting you up here with us.
00:45:24 - Hey, wait a minute, I got an idea.
00:45:26 Let's grab that canvas and stretch it out.
00:45:27 Blackie can jump into it.
00:45:29 - You better climb right up here and hand over those real diamonds.
00:45:31 - Oh, so that's what you're after.
00:45:34 - Stretch out the canvas, go and get it.
00:45:35 - Okay.
00:45:36 - Hey, look, you see if you can find somebody to help, will you?
00:45:38 And I'll try to get these out of here.
00:45:39 - I think I'd better stay right where I am.
00:45:41 - You want us to pump you full of lead?
00:45:43 - Well, if you do that, I'll be so heavy,
00:45:45 I'll topple over into the street.
00:45:46 And you'll never get the diamonds.
00:45:47 - No?
00:45:48 Beck, you better go down in the street.
00:45:51 You can be the first one to meet Blackie when he arrives.
00:45:54 - Right.
00:45:55 - These two men have offered to help.
00:45:57 - Oh, wonderful.
00:45:58 - Oh, that's swell.
00:45:59 - Will you please grab a hold of that canvas, gentlemen,
00:46:01 and hold it tight like a net.
00:46:03 - Hey, that's Farideh.
00:46:08 - Yeah.
00:46:09 - Oh.
00:46:12 - So long, boys.
00:46:13 Nice to have met you.
00:46:15 - Are you all right?
00:46:16 - Do I look all right?
00:46:18 - You look fine to me.
00:46:19 - Blackie, look out!
00:46:20 - I got him!
00:46:22 - Come on, gang, we've got work to do.
00:46:23 - You got him!
00:46:25 - Hold him!
00:46:26 Hold that!
00:46:27 You got him, you...

00:46:32 This is a blackout.

00:46:34 - Oh, yeah?
00:46:36 Then I'm the mayor.
00:46:37 You're under arrest.

00:46:43 - Yeah.
00:46:44 - Yeah, we're after a killer,
00:46:45 and you let him get right away from us.
00:46:47 - Oh, I'm sorry.
00:46:48 I have my duties, too.
00:46:49 - He can't get very far.
00:46:50 Come on.
00:46:51 If we keep running around in this blackout,
00:46:54 somebody's sure to stop us.
00:46:55 And this is no time to explain things to the authorities.
00:46:57 - What if I can't be down there for a while?
00:46:59 - Well, I guess that's as good as any.
00:47:01 Come on, Betty.
00:47:03 (footsteps)
00:47:05 - Arthur, quiet.
00:47:14 - I'm sorry.
00:47:15 - Say, this isn't a bad hangout.
00:47:16 - Well, I wouldn't like to spend the rest of my life here.
00:47:18 - Well, it's better than the roof.
00:47:19 Now, will you come over and sit down and relax?
00:47:20 - Yeah, sure.
00:47:21 - Quacky, you were awfully worried about you,
00:47:23 and, well, when I think that I was the cause of it all, I--
00:47:26 - Oh, it's nothing.
00:47:27 It's nothing.
00:47:28 Blackie's got a funny idea of what's nothing.
00:47:30 Just trying to beat a murder rap, that's all.
00:47:32 - Murder?
00:47:35 - I'm sorry, Betty.
00:47:36 I wasn't going to say anything about it.
00:47:38 But now that the runt spilled the beans,
00:47:40 you might as well know.
00:47:41 - We've bumped our shins on every inch of that fire escape.
00:47:45 Blackie ain't hiding there.
00:47:46 - Well, he can't get very far tonight.
00:47:47 The warden's keeping the streets clear.
00:47:49 Come on, let's keep on looking.
00:47:51 - Oh, I should have kept my big mouth shut.
00:47:53 I'm sorry, Blackie, I--
00:47:54 - It's all right, runt.
00:47:55 Betty had to know about her father sooner or later.
00:47:59 There's no need of all of us sitting on top of this volcano.
00:48:01 You better get her out of here.
00:48:02 - Sure, go ahead, runt.
00:48:03 Blackie and I can finish this job.
00:48:05 - Please don't worry about me.
00:48:06 - Now look, Miss Barnaby,
00:48:07 when Blackie says to get you out of here,
00:48:08 it's as good as done.
00:48:09 Come on, you come with me.
00:48:10 - Thanks, Blackie, for everything.
00:48:14 - She's a swell kid.
00:48:20 Now, what's so funny?
00:48:23 - Well, I knew that book of yours
00:48:25 was going to have a lot of adventure in it,
00:48:26 but I didn't know it was going to have any romance.
00:48:28 - Cut it out, will you?
00:48:29 - Oh.
00:48:30 - We've covered this alley from front to back.
00:48:40 - There's not a sign of 'em.
00:48:41 - You look down there?
00:48:42 - No.
00:48:43 - I'll look myself.
00:48:44 - Give me one of those bolts, quick.
00:48:49 Give me one of those bolts, quick.
00:48:50 - Number one.
00:49:02 - Hey, Joe!
00:49:03 I guess I better go down and take a look.
00:49:06 Give me another bolt, quick.
00:49:08 Give me another bolt, quick.
00:49:09 Give me another bolt, quick.
00:49:10 - Two.
00:49:22 - Hey, Walt!
00:49:24 (dramatic music)
00:49:52 - Three out.
00:49:53 I'll have to credit you with an assist on that one.
00:49:56 - We would have a blackout to go with Blackie's luck.
00:50:00 - Let's get going.
00:50:01 - Okay.
00:50:02 - Hey, Blackie, wait for me, will you?
00:50:05 I forgot my camera.
00:50:06 - There he is, get him!
00:50:13 - Wait a minute, boys, wait a minute.
00:50:15 Don't tell me who you are, let me guess.
00:50:17 You don't want me, Faraday, you want Herschel.
00:50:21 - Now what makes you think I want Herschel?
00:50:22 - Because he's the man that stole the real diamonds
00:50:24 from Barnaby and then killed him.
00:50:25 - Oh.
00:50:26 If you know so much, maybe you can tell me where Herschel is.
00:50:28 - Yes, I can tell you where Herschel is.
00:50:30 He's right at the bottom of the stairs.
00:50:31 - I don't give us those bedtime stories.
00:50:32 - All right, then take me over to Herschel's office
00:50:34 in the Flamingo Club and I'll show you the real diamonds.
00:50:36 - We're not gonna fall for any more of your tricks.
00:50:37 - Oh, you can write them yarns in your book.
00:50:39 If any jury will let you live that long.
00:50:40 - We're gonna go to headquarters, come on, walk.
00:50:42 - Hey, don't let him get away!
00:50:50 Stop, there he is, get your hands off my car.
00:50:52 - All right, this is no time for fooling.
00:50:54 Remember, now anything you say will be held against you,
00:50:56 so you better keep your mouth shut.
00:50:58 Come on, we're going to headquarters.
00:51:01 All right, get out.
00:51:06 - He never knew Blackie when he had less to say.
00:51:10 - Probably taking up his next fish story.
00:51:12 - Ah, the all clear signal.
00:51:14 And with him on his way to the clink,
00:51:15 everything certainly is all clear.
00:51:17 - Well, hello, Inspector.
00:51:18 - Who's that, another suppressive?
00:51:20 - My old friend, Boston Blackie.
00:51:21 - Say, if that's Boston Blackie,
00:51:23 he sure is a whiz in the eye to make up.
00:51:25 - Hey, you, what's the idea of giving us a run around?
00:51:28 Why didn't you talk up?
00:51:29 - You told me anything I said would be held against me.
00:51:31 - We could hold him as an accomplice after the fact.
00:51:33 - Now, wait a minute, it wasn't my fault you grabbed me.
00:51:35 - I'll bet Blackie arranged this for you
00:51:36 and I'll bet you know where he is right this minute.
00:51:37 - Well, I don't know, but I can make a pretty good guess.
00:51:39 - You better guess right.
00:51:40 - Oh, if you and this Charlie McCarthy of yours
00:51:42 would only listen to Blackie in the first place,
00:51:44 you'd save a lot of time in the second place.
00:51:46 And in the third place you--
00:51:47 - It's stolen, where's Blackie?
00:51:48 - Well, he told you that Herschel had the diamonds, didn't he?
00:51:51 And he told you that Herschel killed Barnaby, didn't he?
00:51:53 - Uh--
00:51:54 - And he told you that Herschel was in the basement, didn't he?
00:51:55 And if you knew a clue when you saw one,
00:51:57 you'd realize that Blackie was probably down at that Flamingo Club
00:52:00 breaking the case for you.
00:52:01 - Well, let's get started.
00:52:05 But if you're running us up a blind alley,
00:52:07 I'm gonna have plenty to say to you.

00:59:24 I don't know what's the matter with him, he says my car's been stolen.
00:59:27 - Well how do you like that?
00:59:34 - You sure we came over in it?
00:59:36 - Oh...
00:59:38 Now look Captain, if you're so smart, maybe you can tell me who stole it.
00:59:44 - Sure, it was your old friend Boston Blackie.
00:59:46 Eddie Barnaby's body is in the storage compartment of your bus.
00:59:49 - And they're all naked.
00:59:51 - What?
00:59:52 - Blackie's heading towards Wilton Reservoir with Sammy Walsh...
00:59:55 in your car.
00:59:57 - Well, thanks for the information.
01:00:00 - You need me, Chief?
01:00:03 - I need a keeper.
01:00:05 - Police car.
01:00:27 - Yes, I've heard they have those things around town.
01:00:29 - Step on it.
01:00:31 (siren wailing)
01:00:33 - What do you make of it?
01:00:38 - Your guess is as good as mine.
01:00:40 - Attention all officers in the vicinity of the Wilton Reservoir...
01:00:55 be on the lookout for a stolen police car.
01:00:58 Pick up its occupants.
01:01:00 Boston Blackie and Sammy Walsh.
01:01:02 Be careful, both men are armed.
01:01:05 - You double-crosser.
01:01:07 Step on it.
01:01:09 You heard me, step on it!
01:01:22 (bell ringing)
01:01:28 (tires screeching)
01:01:30 (bell ringing)
01:01:32 (tires screeching)
01:01:43 (tires screeching)
01:01:51 (explosion)
01:01:53 (tires screeching)
01:02:21 - I've never been so glad to see you fellas in my life.
01:02:23 - Oh, yeah?
01:02:24 - You can wrap that guy up in cellophane and deliver him to Inspector Faraday.
01:02:27 If you look in the rear compartment, you'll find Ed Barnaby's body.
01:02:30 (leaves rustling)
01:02:32 - We are gathered here in the presence of these witnesses...
01:02:55 to join this man and this woman in the bonds of matrimony.
01:02:59 (siren wailing)
01:03:01 - It's the cops!
01:03:04 (siren wailing)
01:03:06 - Faraday and Matthews. - Oh, say, that's nice of them.
01:03:13 They probably want to bury the hatchet and see the runt get married.
01:03:15 I'll let them in.
01:03:17 - Arthur still believes in Santa Claus.
01:03:19 When those two cops show up, it's for no good.
01:03:21 - Well, I think you're a good loser, I really do.
01:03:25 - Well, there's no rest for an inspector if it isn't one thing, it's another.
01:03:28 - What have we done now, Mr. Faraday, and take your hat off?
01:03:31 - What's the idea of busting in on a wedding?
01:03:33 This is the third time we've started it, and this time it's got to take.
01:03:36 - Are you Dixie Rose Blossom? - That's me, bud.
01:03:38 - We just wanted to make sure.
01:03:40 - They didn't recognize you without your bubble.
01:03:42 I've got a warrant for your arrest, and the charge is bigamy.
01:03:44 - Big...bigamy? What do you mean?
01:03:47 - Did somebody get the right of dictionary?
01:03:49 - Maybe you'd better tell him Mrs. Henderson of Cleveland, Mrs. Nelson of Detroit.
01:03:52 - Hey, she's playing the American League.
01:03:55 - Perhaps we'd better be running along, hmm?
01:03:58 - Whatever happens to me now, it'll be better than being married to that miniature screwball.
01:04:05 - Gee... - Matthews.
01:04:09 - This is the first time Faraday ever did me a good turn.
01:04:16 - Ha ha ha!
