00:02:08Well, Mom, you haven't lost your punch, have you?
00:02:20Well, you better run along. I've got a lot of work to do.
00:02:24Mom!
00:02:36Mom!
00:02:38Mom!
00:02:51Mom! Mom! Mom! It's me, Jimmy. Oh, Mom, it's me. Mom! Mom!
00:02:59Mom! Mom! Oh, Mother! Oh, Mother!
00:03:29Mom!
00:03:40Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a nigger...
00:03:48Hello, son. Who are you looking for?
00:03:50The Clarks.
00:03:51Clark? Well, my name's Clark.
00:03:53Are you Uncle Henry?
00:03:55Uncle Henry? Yeah. Are you Lucy's boy?
00:03:59Yes, sir. I'm Jimmy.
00:04:00Well, that's funny. How'd you get so far away from home?
00:04:06It's in the letter.
00:04:11Go on in.
00:04:20How's your mother?
00:04:22She's dead.
00:04:26What? Lucy's dead?
00:04:41It's all right, Mom. Sit down. I'll go tell your Aunt Emmy.
00:04:47Jimmy.
00:04:52My poor sister and that poor boy.
00:04:57Jimmy!
00:05:00Now, don't cry, you dimmer.
00:05:01No, Emmy, don't make it harder for the boy.
00:05:04Oh, my spinach.
00:05:15That's Mr. Kelly.
00:05:16Mr. Kelly's our boarder.
00:05:20Hiya, Connors.
00:05:24Well, I knew your dark past would catch up on you someday.
00:05:27Now, Mr. Kelly, this is my nephew, Jimmy Mason.
00:05:32Oh, hello, Jimmy. Glad to see you.
00:05:34Say, if I knew you were going to be here for dinner, I'd have stopped at the City Hall Square and shot a buffalo or an alderman or something.
00:05:40Say, I won't be here to dinner tonight.
00:05:42No, I'm stepping out.
00:05:44With who?
00:05:45His Honor, the Mayor.
00:05:47That's a break for you, Jimmy. You can have my spinach.
00:05:50Well, over the river and skip together.
00:05:53Be seeing you, folks.
00:05:55Sleep on the couch. I suppose you're awful tired after riding around all day.
00:06:00Yes, ma'am.
00:06:16Hiya, Peggy.
00:06:17Say, honey, you look gorgeous. I've been to a conference.
00:06:19I've been waiting for you for a conference.
00:06:21Conference. Let me tell you, this can't last forever.
00:06:23You expect me to marry you?
00:06:25Listen, honey, when we're married...
00:06:26Heck, we're married.
00:06:27And I'm not at all sure that I want to marry a man who keeps me waiting around like this.
00:06:31Look.
00:06:36Frank Gebhard, editor of the Morning Times.
00:06:38Great guy, Frank.
00:06:39You know him intimately, no doubt.
00:06:41Look at the way you are like this.
00:06:43Hiya, Frank.
00:06:46How do you do?
00:06:48How are you?
00:06:55Do I know that man I just spoke to?
00:06:57No, Mr. Gebhard.
00:06:59What's his idea in calling me Frank?
00:07:05Well, you may know him, myself speaking to you.
00:07:07Oh, that's nothing, honey.
00:07:08He's so nearsighted, many of the time he passes up his own mother.
00:07:10Listen, babe, I know a new spaghetti joint you're going to be crazy about.
00:07:12Come on, honey, we'll step out in the car and I'll drive you right down.
00:07:26Is he asleep?
00:07:30I've always wanted a boy around the house.
00:07:34Outside the huge house.
00:07:37First thing tomorrow, I'll take him around to school.
00:07:40No, I don't want you to do that.
00:07:42I don't want you to be late for...
00:07:45You haven't lost your job again.
00:07:50This morning.
00:07:51What is he going to do now?
00:07:54With another mouth to feed?
00:07:56You ought to go through before him.
00:07:59Maybe you'll get a better job.
00:08:02Tell you what I'll do, Al.
00:08:04I'll run down and get a newspaper now and look through the won't ads.
00:08:10Don't worry, honey.
00:08:11Everything will be all right.
00:08:40Now watch, Jimmy.
00:08:41Watch closely this time.
00:08:54Oh, it's the music in my soul, Jimmy.
00:08:56I'm so full of it, I leak.
00:08:58When I come in the door, Rudy Valli goes right out the window.
00:09:01I'm so full of it, I leak.
00:09:03I'm so full of it, I leak.
00:09:05I'm so full of it, I leak.
00:09:07I'm so full of it, I leak.
00:09:09Rudy Valli goes right out the window.
00:09:10Do you know Rudy?
00:09:12Do I know Rudy Valli?
00:09:14Do I know him?
00:09:16The megaphone was my idea.
00:09:18Well, I got to be going.
00:09:21Hey, Jimmy.
00:09:22There's a dollar.
00:09:23That'll help me open a couple of banks.
00:09:25Thanks, Mr. Kelly.
00:09:26Mr. Kelly.
00:09:27Yeah.
00:09:29Could I talk to you for a moment?
00:09:30Sure.
00:09:31Grab your hat and make it snappy.
00:09:34Hey, Emma.
00:09:35I'm going to walk down the street with Mr. Kelly.
00:09:37You're welcome.
00:09:40Well, what's on your mind, Jimmy?
00:09:42Well, you see, Mr. Kelly, it's like this.
00:09:45Hi, Red.
00:09:46How's it going?
00:09:47Hello, Red Green.
00:09:48You a football player?
00:09:49What's that, Red Green?
00:09:50Sure.
00:09:51Hi, Carl.
00:09:52Hi, boys.
00:09:53Okay, boys.
00:09:54Well, what were you saying, Jim?
00:09:56Well, you know Uncle Henry and Aunt Emma.
00:09:58Hey, Kelly.
00:09:59Yeah?
00:10:08There you are.
00:10:11Go ahead, Jimmy.
00:10:12What were you going to tell them?
00:10:13Well, they've been up there.
00:10:14Hi, tonight, Kel.
00:10:16Hi, Commissioner.
00:10:17I guess you know nearly everybody, Mr. Kelly.
00:10:20Well, I'll tell you what I mean.
00:10:21You see, I ain't got a lot of connections.
00:10:23That's just the reason I wanted to talk to you.
00:10:25All right.
00:10:26You see?
00:10:27Well, well, well.
00:10:29Well, Mr. Jim.
00:10:31Jimmy, here's one for the book.
00:10:33Remember we went to that fortune teller this afternoon?
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:36Remember we went to that fortune teller this afternoon?
00:10:38Remember?
00:10:39Yeah.
00:10:41Oh, did you?
00:10:43And he said we'd be walking down the street just like this.
00:10:46Remember, Jimmy?
00:10:51Yeah.
00:10:52And he said we'd run into the most beautiful girl in all the world.
00:10:55It was right up to that point, wasn't it?
00:10:58Yeah.
00:10:59And he said, uh, well, he said a lot of things had happened.
00:11:02Remember?
00:11:04Yeah, a lot of things.
00:11:05For instance?
00:11:06Now, let's see.
00:11:07For instance, he said, uh, he said, uh,
00:11:11well, he said I'd ask her to go dancing.
00:11:13Remember?
00:11:15Yeah.
00:11:16Did he say where?
00:11:18I don't know.
00:11:19Did he say where, Jim?
00:11:21Sure he did.
00:11:22He said we'd go to the Rosalind Dance Palace.
00:11:24Oh, that was the place.
00:11:26All right.
00:11:27What?
00:11:30Oh, I get it.
00:11:31I catch on.
00:11:32You're the girl he was talking about all the time.
00:11:34Who is this person?
00:11:36What?
00:11:37This is Mr.
00:11:38Peggy.
00:11:39I want you to meet a pal of mine, Jimmy Mason.
00:11:42Hello, Jimmy.
00:11:46Oh, you were only kidding.
00:11:48You knew her all the time.
00:11:51Know her?
00:11:52Say, I've known her since she was that big.
00:11:56Come on in, Marlene.
00:11:58I'll take them, Peggy.
00:11:59Come on, Jimmy.
00:12:01Hi!
00:12:04Hi!
00:12:14Sit down, Jimmy.
00:12:15Thanks.
00:12:16Turn on the radio.
00:12:17Sure.
00:12:25Not bad, eh, Jimmy?
00:12:26Say, she's a swell girl.
00:12:28Say, you want to read the story in here by Irv Kahn?
00:12:31Good guy, huh?
00:12:32You know him, too?
00:12:33Sure, we like that.
00:12:35Say, I never showed you this trick, did I, Jimmy?
00:12:37I don't think so.
00:12:38No, I know I didn't.
00:12:40Watch it very closely.
00:12:47This is a peep.
00:12:48Why do you say this?
00:12:56Say, I like that, Jim.
00:12:57That's marvelous, Mr. Kelly.
00:13:03Jimmy.
00:13:09Jimmy, weren't you trying to tell me something?
00:13:12Oh, that.
00:13:13I was...
00:13:14Hi, Jimmy.
00:13:15How nice.
00:13:17Getting up, I mean.
00:13:19Let's do it in the movies.
00:13:21Take Mr. Kelly to the movies sometime, won't you, Jimmy?
00:13:25I'd have gotten up if it hadn't been for that sore knee of mine.
00:13:28Oh, well, if you've got a sore knee, you can't dance.
00:13:32What do you think of a man who asks a girl to go dancing and then has a sore knee?
00:13:36Does your mother let you associate with people like that?
00:13:41She died.
00:13:43Last week.
00:13:45Oh, Jimmy.
00:13:48I'm sorry.
00:13:49I wouldn't have...
00:13:50That's all right.
00:13:51That a boy, Jimmy.
00:13:54The old chin-up all the time.
00:13:56Mom would have liked you.
00:13:57Mr. Kelly, too.
00:13:59Jimmy.
00:14:01I want you to promise me something.
00:14:03Yes, ma'am.
00:14:05Anytime you feel lonesome, will you come and see me?
00:14:08Could I?
00:14:09Anytime you want.
00:14:11Sure, thanks.
00:14:12I sure will.
00:14:13Hey, Jim.
00:14:15When you get through cutting me out with my girl, how about going back to your aunt and uncle?
00:14:24Hello?
00:14:26Aunt?
00:14:29I can't understand you.
00:14:32Oh, guess it's for you.
00:14:39Hello.
00:14:40Hello.
00:14:41Hello.
00:14:43I called up to tell you I've got everything under control.
00:14:49Everything is exactly as if you were right here.
00:14:55Right here.
00:14:57What?
00:14:58Hello.
00:14:59Say, what's the matter with you?
00:15:01Hello.
00:15:02Hello.
00:15:06Sorry, baby, but that was important.
00:15:08I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:15:09And if I can't make it, well, I'll phone.
00:15:12Never mind.
00:15:13I'll know if you're coming.
00:15:14Yeah?
00:15:15How do you know?
00:15:16I'll call up that fortune teller.
00:15:17Oh.
00:15:19All right.
00:15:20So long, darling.
00:15:22Say, I guess I'd better be going, too.
00:15:25Just thought of something.
00:15:27It's getting late.
00:15:29Well, good night.
00:15:30Good night, Jimmy.
00:15:31Remember you're coming to see me again.
00:15:33Well, good night.
00:15:34I had a very good time.
00:15:42Hello.
00:15:44Why don't you answer, Kelly?
00:15:47What's the matter?
00:15:49I'm hurt.
00:15:55At it again, huh?
00:15:57Well, you're through.
00:15:58Get out.
00:16:00Oh, Kelly.
00:16:02You wouldn't talk to an old pal that way.
00:16:04Get out.
00:16:11All right.
00:16:15All right.
00:16:19All right.
00:16:21But you'll be sorry for this tomorrow.
00:16:24When you sober up.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:36Oh, I found you.
00:16:40Geez, ain't you a talent?
00:16:43You don't mind, do you?
00:16:47Well...
00:16:50You see, with Uncle Henry getting laid off,
00:16:53and me coming unexpected the way I did,
00:16:55it's kind of hard on him.
00:16:57And I thought, well,
00:16:58knowing everyone the way you did,
00:17:00you could help me get a job.
00:17:05Well...
00:17:07Maybe I can.
00:17:13I don't know.
00:17:15Maybe I can.
00:17:19I'd like to work for you, Mr. Kelly.
00:17:21Yeah, you would?
00:17:23You'll be here the first thing in the morning.
00:17:27Say, it's getting kind of late.
00:17:28You better run along, ain't you?
00:17:31Thanks, Mr. Kelly.
00:17:32Good night.
00:17:33So long.
00:17:42Oh.
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:46Oh, three quarters away?
00:17:49Okay, I'll bring him right over.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:51So long.
00:17:58Oh.
00:18:04Of course, it's none of my business,
00:18:06but I'm sure they're bootleggers.
00:18:16Well, I've done my duty,
00:18:18and I expect you to do yours.
00:18:25Hi, Commissioner.
00:18:28Hello, kid.
00:18:48Now listen, Jimmy, this is what I want you to do.
00:18:51You see, I'm in and out of this place all day long.
00:18:53All I want you to do is answer the phone.
00:18:57If he calls, tell him I'm out, but get their number.
00:19:00You can do that?
00:19:01Sure I can.
00:19:03Here's another thing.
00:19:05I do all my business over that phone.
00:19:08That door is supposed to stay locked all the time.
00:19:11You don't know who owns the place.
00:19:13You don't know where you live, because I live there too.
00:19:17You don't even know my name.
00:19:18Yes, but why, Mr. Kelly?
00:19:22Well, you see, Jimmy, it's like this.
00:19:25I got a lot of big connections. You know that, don't you?
00:19:27Yes, sir.
00:19:28Well, you see, you see a man in my position,
00:19:31he's liable to have a lot of enemies,
00:19:32and you never know what they might try to do.
00:19:34Sure.
00:19:35So if anything goes wrong, no matter what it is,
00:19:38you get in touch with me on the quiet.
00:19:40But be sure it's on the quiet,
00:19:42and you don't know me at all.
00:19:44Oh, I get it.
00:19:46That's the stuff.
00:19:48And remember, Jimmy,
00:19:50Kelly's your friend,
00:19:52a guy that'll always stand behind you.
00:19:54And I'll do the same for you, too.
00:19:57K.O., Jimmy.
00:19:59K.O.
00:20:02Now,
00:20:03shove it up.
00:20:09Oh, and Jimmy.
00:20:10Yes, sir?
00:20:12Get a load of this.
00:20:15I'm paying you 25 bucks a week.
00:20:18Whoopee!
00:20:25K.O.
00:20:27K.O.
00:20:54Shit!
00:21:09Open that up!
00:21:12Open up that door!
00:21:25All right, let's get out of here.
00:21:27All right, let's get out of here.
00:21:30Have fun.
00:21:54Hey, say.
00:21:56Hey.
00:21:57You been here before?
00:22:00So you're taking it pretty easy for a first-timer.
00:22:03Nothing's gonna happen to me.
00:22:05What do you mean, nothing's gonna happen?
00:22:07It's happening.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:09But I got a friend.
00:22:11With connections.
00:22:13And he'll walk in here any minute.
00:22:16Burton.
00:22:18Edward Burton.
00:22:20Relatives and witnesses, come this way.
00:22:31Edward Burton.
00:22:33Edward Burton.
00:22:35Edward Burton.
00:22:37Edward Burton.
00:22:39Edward Burton.
00:22:40Edward Burton.
00:22:41Kelly.
00:23:09Kelly.
00:23:11Kelly.
00:23:17Patrick Kelly.
00:23:42Mason.
00:23:44James Mason.
00:23:48Say.
00:23:49That friend of yours better get his connections working.
00:24:11How old are you, James?
00:24:29Fifteen.
00:24:30Almost.
00:24:33Ever been in trouble before?
00:24:35No, sir.
00:24:38Where do you live?
00:24:42No place in particular.
00:24:44Parents dead?
00:24:46Yes, sir.
00:24:48Haven't you any relatives in this town?
00:24:52Someone that we ought to notify about this?
00:24:56No, sir.
00:24:57No relatives anywhere.
00:25:02Now, James.
00:25:03Obviously, you wouldn't have found yourself in this trouble.
00:25:07If you hadn't been led astray by someone older and more responsible, would you?
00:25:20Would you?
00:25:26Now, come, James.
00:25:28Come, now.
00:25:29We want to give you every chance to cooperate with us.
00:25:33Now, it isn't you.
00:25:35But the man who hired you that we want to reach.
00:25:39And your failure to expose him is really a more serious offense than the other charges against you.
00:25:46Now, come.
00:25:48Who was he?
00:25:51Nobody.
00:25:55Very well, then.
00:25:58You leave me no alternative.
00:26:01I'm sorry to have to do this.
00:26:02But you'll spend the next three years at the State Industrial School for Boys.
00:26:25Trustee Hart?
00:26:26Yes, sir.
00:26:2713140.
00:26:29John McCabe?
00:26:30Yes, sir.
00:26:3113144.
00:26:33Martin Smith?
00:26:34Yes, sir.
00:26:3513144.
00:26:37Hart?
00:26:38The new bedding numbered, sir.
00:26:39Do you want to come out and give him a speech?
00:26:41Oh, I suppose so.
00:26:43How many of them are there?
00:26:44Eleven.
00:26:45And two repeaters.
00:26:46Two repeaters.
00:26:48Always the repeaters.
00:26:53James Mason?
00:26:54Yes, sir.
00:26:5513144.
00:26:57That's all.
00:26:59Attention.
00:27:00Mr. Thompson has something to say to you, boys.
00:27:05Boys, you are here to be made into good citizens.
00:27:11I trust that you'll take advantage of this opportunity.
00:27:15You'll be taught a trade at which you can earn an honest living when you are released.
00:27:23Obey the rules, and you can profit by this experience.
00:27:28Disobey them, and you will be punished.
00:27:32In other words, you will get out of this institution exactly what you put into it.
00:27:40That's all.
00:27:42That's all.
00:27:45All right, you.
00:27:46All right, you.
00:27:5713172, lower bed.
00:28:02Major, 13144, upper deck.
00:28:05First thing you do, get in your jacket.
00:28:0813974, upper.
00:28:1214671, lower.
00:28:1715682, upper.
00:28:211943, upper.
00:28:37Where'd you come from?
00:28:39I got the bed up above.
00:28:41All right, then get your things and scram up where you belong.
00:28:43Well, I just thought I'd undress down here.
00:28:46Oh, yeah?
00:28:48Say.
00:28:50Hey, what's going on here?
00:28:54What's all this ruckus about?
00:28:58Oh, I just fell.
00:29:01Now, stay on your feet and get out of those clothes.
00:29:03Get out of those clothes.
00:29:12Okay, big boy.
00:29:15You can sit down here anytime you want to.
00:29:19Hey, yo.
00:29:24How long you in for?
00:29:26Did I let you write letters from here?
00:29:29Sure, three a month. Why?
00:29:31I won't be here long.
00:29:33Oh, but you gotta be careful.
00:29:35They read everything you write.
00:29:40What was that?
00:29:42Did the super give you the welcome speech when you first came in?
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48Well, that's some kid getting his for, by his experience.
00:29:54What's it like up here, anyhow?
00:29:57Oh, the food's terrible.
00:29:59But you can get used to it.
00:30:00And they make you sweat like a dog in the brickyard.
00:30:03Brickyard?
00:30:05Yeah. That's the way they support this place.
00:30:08They haven't got enough money to run it, so they make us kids work for it.
00:30:13How do they treat you?
00:30:16Well, some of the guards are okay, and some of them are plenty tough.
00:30:21But they lay off me. I gotta break.
00:30:24Yeah? How?
00:30:26The old pump. It ain't no good.
00:30:28The heart, I mean. I'm lucky.
00:30:31Yeah, I guess you are.
00:30:44I didn't think you brought me down here to listen to my charming conversation.
00:30:50Charlie, don't let what I've said give you the impression it has anything to do with our friendship.
00:30:54I'm not asking you to do a thing you don't want to do.
00:30:57No. You're only asking me to sacrifice my job to become the goat for a reform movement.
00:31:04That's not the idea at all.
00:31:06What I want you to do is to be a man.
00:31:09You know what conditions in the school are now.
00:31:13You know how badly you need the money from this bond issue to correct them.
00:31:17And I know.
00:31:19You feel the way I do.
00:31:20You'd like to see things improve.
00:31:22You'd like to see these kids given a chance.
00:31:24Wouldn't you?
00:31:26Wouldn't you?
00:31:28Now, I can bring about these changes, but only by arousing public interest.
00:31:32By printing the truth.
00:31:34Now, listen, Charlie.
00:31:36This is something that's got to be done.
00:31:39I can't do it.
00:31:41I'm not asking you to do it.
00:31:44Now, on Thursday, I'll appear at the school.
00:31:46I'm not asking you to do it.
00:31:48Now, on Thursday, I'll appear at the school unexpectedly.
00:31:52With a pass.
00:31:54You don't know anything about it, how I got it.
00:31:56All I'm asking is that you let me see with my own eyes conditions as they really are.
00:32:01Not the Sunday school act you put on for visitors.
00:32:04Now, will you do this, Charlie?
00:32:17I've got to be going, Frank.
00:32:30Well, Frank.
00:32:32I'll see you Thursday.
00:32:35Thanks, Charlie.
00:32:46Thanks, Charlie.
00:33:09Hey, Jimmy.
00:33:11I'm going to give you two now.
00:33:13That's what all us old timers do.
00:33:14Supposing I don't catch them.
00:33:16Oh, you'll just smash a finger.
00:33:19Oh, is that all?
00:33:21Sure. What do you care? You've got ten of them.
00:33:26I caught them.
00:33:29Okay, big boy.
00:33:33What, again?
00:33:35Sure. You've got to get used to it.
00:33:37Well, I guess that's all.
00:33:41Well, I'll be seeing you in a couple of minutes.
00:33:44Oh, where are you going?
00:33:46To get more bricks.
00:33:48More bricks?
00:33:50Sure. You're just warming up.
00:33:57Boy, they sure make you work in this place.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:03Say.
00:34:05Ain't you the guy with the connections?
00:34:07Yeah, what of it?
00:34:10I thought your friend was going to get you out of this.
00:34:13Well, he isn't. It's none of your business.
00:34:14Hey.
00:34:16You want me to show you how to pile up those bricks so it'll be easy on you?
00:34:20All right.
00:34:22Hey, Jack.
00:34:24Here's a new kid.
00:34:26Let's show him how to pile up the bricks.
00:34:29All right.
00:34:31Hey, Jack.
00:34:33Here's a new kid.
00:34:35Let's show him how to pile up the bricks.
00:34:37All right.
00:34:39Hey, Jack.
00:34:41Hey, Jack.
00:34:42Let's show him how to pile up the bricks.
00:34:45New kid, huh?
00:34:47Yeah.
00:34:49This is going to be swell for your muscles, too.
00:34:51Pretty strong, all right.
00:34:53Yeah.
00:34:55You ought to see me when I first did this.
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:13There.
00:35:15Now let's see your influential friend get you out of this.
00:35:30Hey, what's the big idea?
00:35:33Who did that?
00:35:35I did it.
00:35:37Oh, you can't do that to him. He's my pal.
00:35:42Come on.
00:35:47What's the idea?
00:35:49What do you think this is, a playground?
00:35:54Now, just for this monkey business, you'll get no recreation hours.
00:35:58Now, hot good.
00:36:00Come on, there, you.
00:36:03What's the good of my standing over a stove half the day if you don't eat something?
00:36:08I'm not hungry.
00:36:10I don't see what Jimmy could have done.
00:36:13But Mr. Kelly thought...
00:36:15Mr. Kelly.
00:36:17While he thought and we sat here, maybe we could have done something.
00:36:21No, I mean, Mr. Kelly did everything he could.
00:36:25He used all of his influence and he couldn't do nothing.
00:36:31What could we have done?
00:36:34At least we can go up to the school and see him as soon as he's done.
00:36:39If Mr. Kelly gets us that pass.
00:36:48Hi, baby, baby, baby.
00:36:50Oh, stop it.
00:36:52What's the matter with you?
00:36:54Well, I just washed my hands and I can't do a thing with them.
00:36:57Say, get a pipe of that new backdrop, will you?
00:37:00Gee.
00:37:02I bet you had to fight the women off every step of the way.
00:37:04No, I fixed that. I got a police car.
00:37:07Have you heard from Jimmy?
00:37:09Not a word.
00:37:11Well, I guess he's gone for good.
00:37:13You know, I can't get that poor kid off my mind.
00:37:17How could a boy just disappear?
00:37:20I don't know. I can't figure it.
00:37:22Haven't I tried everything? Police, hospitals, sheriff's office?
00:37:26Well, I guess he just beat it.
00:37:28I know.
00:37:30I was just wondering if...
00:37:32Just like I told you, sweetheart.
00:37:34He perhaps got tired of the city and homesick for the old town and just blew.
00:37:37You know how kids are. They don't think.
00:37:39Say.
00:37:41How's for you getting under that derby of yours?
00:37:44We got a lot of staying up to do tonight.
00:37:46Just a minute.
00:38:10What a heel you are, Kelly.
00:38:18Hey, Jimmy.
00:38:20Yeah?
00:38:22How you coming?
00:38:24All right. But gosh, it's hard writing in the dark.
00:38:26Hope Mr. Kelly will be able to read it.
00:38:35Say, Shorty.
00:38:37Yeah?
00:38:39I don't think I'll ever get to him if I don't sign it or address it.
00:38:42Okay, big boy.
00:38:44You see, I slip to this guy in the hospital and tell him the address.
00:38:48Then he writes it on the envelope when he gets it outside.
00:38:51Say, Shorty.
00:38:53Yeah?
00:38:55How do you spell terrible?
00:38:57Oh, never mind how you spell it. Just write it.
00:39:00I'm coming to the part about getting you out, too.
00:39:03We're gonna stick together.
00:39:05Okay, big boy.
00:39:09What's the matter with you?
00:39:11I swallowed a couple of peas.
00:39:13You're lucky to get peas. What about it?
00:39:16Oh, I mean in print shop type.
00:39:18It bother you any?
00:39:20No, but I didn't think it'd be good for me to keep on working.
00:39:23Work won't hurt you.
00:39:25There's only one thing to fix you up.
00:39:28I'm beginning to feel fine.
00:39:31The water's over.
00:39:33Next.
00:39:35I keep on getting them dizzy spells.
00:39:38Well, you're the kid that got the bump on the head.
00:39:40Yeah, in the brickyard.
00:39:42Well, you'll have to wait till Tuesday when the doctor comes up.
00:39:45But here's some aspirin.
00:39:49Next.
00:39:52Next.
00:39:57Hey, you. You're next.
00:40:05What's the matter now?
00:40:07Well, I thought maybe you could give me some of that medicine the doctor gives me.
00:40:17Oh, well, I don't feel so awful bad now.
00:40:21I think maybe I could come back when the doctor's here.
00:40:24Come here.
00:40:34Come here.
00:40:45Unbutton your coat.
00:41:05Come on.
00:41:18All right, let's have it.
00:41:27Well, your writing is nothing like this.
00:41:30Now, who wrote that?
00:41:31Well, your writing is nothing like this.
00:41:33Now, who wrote that?
00:41:35I did. It looks like that.
00:41:38You see, I wrote it in the dark.
00:41:41Now, listen. You've been here long enough to know it's a serious offense to try to sneak a letter out.
00:41:46Especially one that criticizes the school.
00:41:48Now, you tell me who wrote this, and I'll go easy on you.
00:41:52If you don't...
00:41:54If you don't, I'm going to give you solitary.
00:41:57I did it, I tell you.
00:41:58All right, have it your own way.
00:42:00You wrote it, so you get six days in solitary confinement.
00:42:05You couldn't put me in solitary.
00:42:08Then tell me who wrote this letter.
00:42:15All right, take him away.
00:42:18Come on.
00:42:28Come on.
00:42:51Have you got 13144 here?
00:42:53Over there.
00:42:5913144?
00:43:0113144?
00:43:03Yes, sir.
00:43:07How would you like to be a monitor?
00:43:10I don't know.
00:43:12We need more monitors, and you've been recommended.
00:43:14If I were you, I'd take it.
00:43:17Get better food, better sleeping quarters, special privileges.
00:43:22Of course, you'll get your responsibilities.
00:43:25I guess so.
00:43:26Well, come on.
00:43:52Where's Shorty?
00:43:54How should I know?
00:43:56Come on.
00:44:22Are you supposed to relieve me?
00:44:24Yes, sir.
00:44:26We've got two hours more to go.
00:44:28You've got to see that they keep their eyes on that line every minute of it.
00:44:32Those on the chalk line can loosen up 45 minutes more.
00:44:37There you are.
00:44:43You're the new monitor, ain't you?
00:44:45Yes, sir.
00:44:56Come on.
00:45:26Come on.
00:45:56Come on.
00:46:27Guard!
00:46:29Guard!
00:46:53Well, how do you do?
00:46:55Well, how do you do, Mr. Gebhardt?
00:46:57How do you do?
00:46:59I'm sorry to have to tell you that Mr. Thompson won't be able to take you through the school personally.
00:47:03However, he's instructed me to see that you go wherever you want.
00:47:07I see.
00:47:09Now, what would you like to see first?
00:47:11Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:47:20Now, this is our correction room.
00:47:21The boys are made to study during a recreation period.
00:47:39What do you use the white line for?
00:47:41That?
00:47:43Well, occasionally a disobedient boy is made to stand with his toes to that line while he studies.
00:47:51I see.
00:48:17Now, these are our punishment cells.
00:48:19Is there anyone in them?
00:48:21No.
00:48:22We only use these in case of emergency.
00:48:25More comfortable than I expected.
00:48:34Get back till I call you.
00:48:38Now, would you like to see the dormitories?
00:48:40No, thanks. I think not.
00:48:46Well, Charlie, I have seen your Sunday school.
00:48:52So, you lost your nerve.
00:48:54Double-cross me.
00:48:58What was the matter before?
00:49:00Never mind.
00:49:05Number five.
00:49:14Yeah, buddy.
00:49:16Hey, wake up.
00:49:18Shorty!
00:49:19Shorty!
00:49:20Shorty, what's the matter?
00:49:22Guard! Guard!
00:49:24Shorty, something's happened to him. He's just lying here.
00:49:26Get someone quick.
00:49:27Hey, get water. I'll be back right away.
00:49:42Shorty.
00:49:44Don't worry, Mom.
00:49:45Shorty.
00:49:46Don't cry, Mom.
00:49:47It's me. Don't you know me?
00:49:49Gee, Mom.
00:49:51Jimmy's gonna be disappointed
00:49:53when Mr. Kelly doesn't get that letter.
00:49:55Oh, stop talking like that, Shorty.
00:49:58Of course, it's different with him.
00:50:00Come on, listen to me.
00:50:02Listen.
00:50:08Jimmy.
00:50:11What's the matter?
00:50:12Had a boy, Shorty.
00:50:14Now you're talking.
00:50:16How'd you get here, Jimmy?
00:50:17I was bringing you supper.
00:50:19You were just...
00:50:20Oh, gee.
00:50:22Gee, that's great.
00:50:25I thought maybe they got you, too.
00:50:28Got me?
00:50:29What for?
00:50:32Is that why you're in here?
00:50:34Did they find that letter?
00:50:36Yeah.
00:50:38Only...
00:50:40I wasn't gonna tell you.
00:50:42Shorty, you're doing this for me.
00:50:44It's my fault.
00:50:45I'm gonna tell them.
00:50:47I'm gonna tell them I wrote it.
00:50:48You can get out.
00:50:50But that won't do any good.
00:50:52They'll never let me off.
00:50:54Kinda...
00:50:55I wouldn't tell them who wrote it.
00:50:57Oh, I'll make them let you off.
00:50:58I'll tell them myself.
00:51:00Oh, don't do that, Jimmy.
00:51:02That won't help any.
00:51:04They'll just put you in solitary, too.
00:51:13I'll be all right.
00:51:16The doc can fix me up.
00:51:18They won't fix you up.
00:51:20You told me yourself.
00:51:21They could never fix you up in this place.
00:51:24You need good doctors and hospitals and everything.
00:51:30I'll be all right.
00:51:36I know what I'll do.
00:51:38I'll get out.
00:51:39I'll get to Mr. Kelly.
00:51:41I'll tell him.
00:51:42He'll get you out.
00:51:44Shorty...
00:51:45Shorty, do you...
00:51:46Do you think you can...
00:51:48Stay in this till I...
00:51:49Till I get a chance?
00:51:51Is that all right?
00:51:53O-okay, big boy.
00:51:59Shorty!
00:52:01Gee, it's great to be home, Mom.
00:52:03Shorty!
00:52:05It ain't nothing to die.
00:52:06Oh, you're not gonna die!
00:52:14Come on.
00:52:26Here, get out of the way.
00:52:38Take him to the hospital.
00:52:39The doctor's on his way over.
00:52:44Get back to your work.
00:52:45Paul, let me...
00:52:46Get back to your work.
00:52:48I'm going with Shorty.
00:52:49Wait a minute.
00:52:50If you're not careful, you'll lose that.
00:52:51I don't want it!
00:52:52I hate it!
00:52:54Driving kids till they can't roar.
00:52:55Treating them like they weren't human beings.
00:52:57Like Shorty.
00:52:58I'm going with him.
00:52:59Let me go!
00:53:00Let me go!
00:53:01Let me...
00:53:02Go!
00:53:14The End
00:53:33What did you hear about Shorty?
00:53:35Oh, nothing.
00:53:36They won't let you anywhere near the hospital.
00:53:38Think he'll die?
00:53:39No.
00:53:43a. Pick
00:53:49a map you might. All
00:53:57right you don't have to help me I'll do it myself you don't do it and you're well I'm

00:58:34You're not doing him any good by not telling us where he went.
00:58:38You don't want him getting any more trouble, do you?
00:58:40I tell you, we don't know where he went.
00:58:42He said he was going to see Mr. Kelly, a friend of his, who used to be our boarder.
00:58:46Where does this man Kelly live?
00:58:48Well, we don't know, and Jimmy didn't either.
00:58:51He just, uh, thought he could find...
00:58:56I guess they're on the up and up.
00:58:58I guess so.
00:58:59Now listen, if that kid comes back here tonight, you keep him and call police headquarters.
00:59:03Yes, sir.
00:59:10Yes, sir.
00:59:12Well, let me.
00:59:13Don't you go well-entering me.

00:59:23Sure. Looking for him?
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:26Will you come in, Mr. Kelly?
00:59:30Hello, Frank.
00:59:35What's your game?
00:59:37What's the idea of calling me Frank?
00:59:40Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Kev, I...
00:59:43I've been reading your columns so long, I just got the feeling like I knew you.
00:59:48Uh-huh.
00:59:49You know, when I told you over the phone,
00:59:52there's a funny story I want to tell you.
00:59:55Uh-huh.
00:59:56You know, when I told you over the phone,
00:59:59that front page news, that's on the level.
01:00:02I know a kid who just escaped from the reform school.
01:00:08This kid?
01:00:09Yep.
01:00:11Your boy?
01:00:13Well, no, he's a pal of mine.
01:00:17What do you want out of him?
01:00:20Not a thing.
01:00:23Except that he don't go back up there.
01:00:27I can't promise that.
01:00:29All right, the deal's off.
01:00:30No, wait.
01:00:31I can't say what I can do until I've heard the story.
01:00:33But I'll do what I can.
01:00:35He's outside now.
01:00:37Bring him in.
01:00:45Miss Maxwell, bring your book.
01:00:49Herman?
01:00:51Herman?
01:00:52Break down the front page.
01:00:54Yes?
01:00:56Yes, never mind about that now.
01:01:03Jimmy?
01:01:05This is Mr. Gebhardt.
01:01:06Hi, Jimmy.
01:01:07Sit down.
01:01:08Take my chair.
01:01:10Jimmy, could you tell me how you got into the reform school and what happened there?
01:01:13Yes, sir.
01:01:14Take this, please.
01:01:16All right, tell me about it.
01:01:17Well, when I first came to live with Uncle Henry and Aunt Emma...
01:01:24Say, Joe, did you haul Kelly, this girl and a kid, in the last hour?
01:01:28No.
01:01:29Have you seen anything of them?
01:01:31No, not me.
01:01:33Say, Art.
01:01:35No, no.
01:01:37Who'd you haul there?
01:01:39Why, a young couple and a kid.
01:01:43And when I got to Mr. Kelly and told him how badly Shorty needs help,
01:01:48he brought me down here.
01:01:50I guess that's all.
01:01:53Just transcribe that as quickly as possible, Miss Maxwell.
01:01:55Yes, sir.
01:02:00Yes?
01:02:01Telegraph desk just got a wire on the reform school, Mr. Gebhardt.
01:02:04Kid died up there this afternoon.
01:02:06They say it was a case of bad heart.
01:02:08We're getting pictures.
01:02:09All right.
01:02:11I'll call you back later.
01:02:16Jimmy, will you wait in the outer office?
01:02:18There's something I want to talk to Mr. Kelly about.
01:02:21Yes, sir.
01:02:24Mr. Gebhardt.
01:02:26Yes, Jimmy?
01:02:27You and Mr. Kelly will do everything you can to get Shorty out of there right away, will you?
01:02:32We'll do everything for him we possibly can.
01:02:35Thank you, sir.
01:02:42Everything we possibly can.
01:02:48Kelly, that phone call.
01:02:53Shorty just died.
01:02:58Oh, gee, that'll be tough on the kid.
01:03:02I can keep Jimmy from going back to the reform school,
01:03:05but I can't do it alone, Kelly.
01:03:08You've got to help me.
01:03:09What do you mean?
01:03:10Just this.
01:03:11I want a signed confession from you clearing the boys.
01:03:14What's the idea of getting me mixed up in this?
01:03:16The only way we can save him is by proving that he was ignorant of the nature of your business.
01:03:21And that means that you'll have to admit what it is and how you received the boys.
01:03:26I won't do it.
01:03:27You want that kid to go back up there?
01:03:29Yeah, but I ain't going to live and work in that state.
01:03:41Hello, Jimmy.
01:03:42Hello.
01:03:43That's him.
01:03:45Come along.
01:03:46Call Mr. Gebhardt, quick.
01:03:50Mr. Gebhardt.
01:03:58Well, gentlemen, this kid ran away from reform school, Mr. Gebhardt, and we're taking him back.
01:04:03Wait a minute, boys.
01:04:05I'm interested in this case.
01:04:07Will you sit down here for about five minutes?
01:04:09Jimmy won't run away.
01:04:11Will you, Jimmy?
01:04:12No, sir.
01:04:13How about it?
01:04:14Well, I guess.
01:04:15Thanks.
01:04:16Yes.
01:04:30Well?
01:04:33Jimmy will be starting back in five minutes.
01:04:37I can't do it.
01:04:39Oh, you can't do it.
01:04:41You made the kid believe you're the greatest guy on earth, and then you hid behind him to save your own skin.
01:04:46You let him go to reform school because he wouldn't squeal when you told him not to.
01:04:50And now when you've got a chance to be the man he thinks you are, what are you going to do about it?
01:04:54Are you going to let him down?
01:04:56What are you, Kelly?
01:04:58A man or a rat?
01:05:00You're a rat!
01:05:07Will you come in here a minute, Jimmy?
01:05:09Yes, sir.
01:05:10It'll be all right, boys.
01:05:21Jimmy?
01:05:24You've got to go back to the reform school.
01:05:29There's only one man in the world who can help you.
01:05:33And he won't.
01:05:35What do you mean?
01:05:37Jimmy, you didn't know it, but the man you were working for was a bootlegger.
01:05:43The liquor in that place wasn't planted there.
01:05:45It belonged to him.
01:05:48And now he's too small, too mean, too cowardly to do for you what you did for him.
01:05:57Are you talking about Mr. Kelly?
01:05:59Yes.
01:06:00Listen, Mr. Gebhardt, he may have been a bootlegger.
01:06:03That may have been his liquor.
01:06:04But when you say he wouldn't do the same for me as I would for him, it's...
01:06:09It's a lie!
01:06:12You're right, Jimmy.
01:06:14You're right.
01:06:16You see, Frank's a great kidder.
01:06:20He's got to have his little joke.
01:06:23I didn't think he was kidding.
01:06:24Oh, sure he was, Jim.
01:06:26Get Peggy, will you?
01:06:27Let me.
01:06:35Well, kid.
01:06:38Looks like I got to go away for a long time.
01:06:41To...
01:06:42Yeah.
01:06:44Yep.
01:06:46Well, but after all, it's no more than I got coming to me.
01:06:50But, gee, Mr. Kelly...
01:06:51Oh, now, look at it this way, kid.
01:06:54We're pals, ain't we?
01:06:56Sure.
01:06:57Sure we are.
01:06:58And you took it on the chin, didn't you?
01:07:01Well, now, I'm going to take it on the chin.
01:07:02And what happens?
01:07:04Mr. Gebhardt gets a chance to clean up that reform school and do things for a lot of kids.
01:07:10That's the way to look at it, ain't it?
01:07:12Yeah.
01:07:13Yeah, that's the way to look at it.
01:07:15And shorty...
01:07:16Sure, that's it.
01:07:18Think of shorty.
01:07:25Oh!
01:07:27Oh!
01:07:32Oh!
01:07:33Oh, please don't, babe.
01:07:53How is it now, shorty?
01:07:56Okay, big boy.
