01:24We are gathered here to honor Captain Jim Hadley, a man we all admire and love.
01:30It's a pity we must age and let others take our place, but that's the way it is.
01:35Like many of you, I've known Jim ever since he joined the department.
01:40And as chief of your fire department, I want to take this opportunity personally to thank him
01:45for his 40 years of loyal devotion to duty.
01:49Now had our honored guest played politics, he might have worked his way up to commissioner, or mayor, or even fire chief.
02:02However, Captain Jim Hadley chose the hard way.
02:07He worked untiringly, and those of you in the department will never forget him
02:12for his cooperation, his friendship, and his fearlessness.
02:16And now that he's been pensioned, he can look forward to a well-earned life of ease.
02:21And I know that I speak for all of us when I wish Jim the best of everything.
02:26On behalf of the boys of your company, I have the pleasure of presenting you with this token.
02:32Good luck, Captain Hadley, and may all your troubles be false alarms.
02:40You have no idea, Frank, how glad I am that Dad has been retired.
02:44I suppose you want to say a few words?
02:48I appreciate this.
02:52I'm sorry it's because I'm leaving the department.
02:55It's been my very life. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
02:59But they say that when a man becomes my age, he's outlived his...
03:06He's outlived his usefulness.
03:12But I'm a lucky man. I've made many good friends, and most of you are here.
03:18It's my fervent prayer that I may keep those friendships,
03:23even though I'm going to become a gentleman of leisure.
03:29I'm really a good after-dinner speaker,
03:34but I'm handicapped this time because I haven't had my dinner yet.
03:59La dee da dee da dee da dee.
04:02La dee da dee da dee da dee dee.
04:05La dee da dee da dee da dee dee.
04:08La dee da dee da dee da dee dee.
04:10Stop that noise!
04:12La dee da dee da dee da dee dee.
04:15Stop ringing that bell! My husband's asleep!
04:20Where is it? Where is it?
04:22Any scissors or knife you want sharpened, lady?
04:25No, we don't want any.
04:28All right.
04:38All right to bed, darling. It was just a man wanting to sharpen scissors.
04:42Oh, I forgot I was a gentleman of leisure.
04:46Ah, you'll get used to it.
04:48Just think, you haven't a thing in the world to do but take it easy.
04:54Oh!
04:57I have a title to arrest, huh?
04:59Oh, you certainly have, darling.
05:01Oh, and you can start right now with taking that trunk up to the attic.
05:06Great start.
05:15Here.
05:18Ah.
05:20Just the boys are polishing the brass on the hook and ladder about now.
05:23Today the morning paper?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Why don't you turn on the radio?
05:28No programs I want to listen to.
05:31Can I help?
05:32Oh, sure.
05:42What's funny?
05:44What's funny?
05:46I'm just thinking about the gang.
05:49All things they've got to do and here I am taking it easy.
05:53Oh, I'll take it easy in the other room, will you, darling?
05:58Yeah.
06:07Oh, Ma.
06:09What about playing a little casino with me?
06:12What did you say?
06:13What about playing a little casino with me?
06:16Oh, don't be silly, Jim.
06:18You know I'm busy.
06:20Pardon me.
06:43If you don't know what to do with yourself, take those jars down to the basement.
06:48Okay.
06:58I wouldn't take too many if I were you.
07:00Oh, no, I'm sure.
07:10Jim, did you break all my preserves?
07:13No, but I will.
07:19I'll answer it, Ma.
07:27Good morning, madam.
07:29I mean, sir.
07:30I represent the Magnificent Wash Company.
07:33We carry a full line of washers.
07:35How do you do, sir?
07:37Good morning, sir.
07:39I represent the Magnificent Wash Company.
07:42We carry a full line of washers.
07:44How do you do, sir?
07:46We carry a full line of washers.
07:48How do you do?
07:49Come right in.
07:50I'm glad to see you.
07:51Make yourself at home, huh?
07:52Every good home should have a reliable wash in them.
07:56We have the most reliable washers.
07:58And once you apply them, you will be a steady customer.
08:01There.
08:02Sit right down there and have a chair.
08:04And you have your hat.
08:06These things, too, huh?
08:08Oh, well.
08:10I thought you might like to buy a wash.
08:13You sure I'm not intruding?
08:15No, no, no.
08:16You see, I was kind of lonesome.
08:18And the wife threw me out of the kitchen again.
08:20Again?
08:21Yeah.
08:22She's been doing it all day.
08:23Ever since I got up this morning and put out a fire.
08:26But there wasn't any fire, so I stayed home.
08:28I think I'd better be going.
08:30Oh, what's your hurry?
08:31What's your hurry?
08:32You just came.
08:33You see, I'm on a pension.
08:35The boys threw a big party last night.
08:37And the chief spoke.
08:40My best friend tore up my speech.
08:44I wish you could have been there.
08:46Ain't just the same.
08:48But I had a date.
08:49Oh, that's too bad.
08:52You sell those things?
08:53Yeah.
08:55Here we have number two, a housewife's delight.
08:57You know, this must be awfully interesting.
09:00You meet all kinds of people, all sorts of you.
09:05Yeah.
09:06All sorts.
09:07Hello, Ma.
09:08We don't want any.
09:12Hey, wait a minute.
09:13Wait a minute.
09:14Jim.
09:15Why, you should know better than let one of those salesmen
09:17into the house.
09:18They'll talk an arm off you.
09:19Oh, but he's different.
09:21He hardly said a word.
09:22You were busy, and I had nothing to do.
09:25And those nights have someone to talk to.
09:27Why don't you take a walk?
09:28It's a lovely day.
09:29Go on.
09:30The exercise will do you good.
09:31That's an idea.
09:35Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
09:38Well, well, well, look who's coming our way.
09:41If it isn't the boy orator.
09:44I'm accustomed as I am to public speaking.
09:50Hiya, slaves.
09:51How does it feel to be a gentleman of leisure, Jim?
09:53Nothing like it.
09:54It's great.
09:55In about six months, you'll know.
09:57Do you think the chief will give me a send-off?
09:59If he does, I'll tear up your speech
10:02and cram it down your throat.
10:03Make him eat his own words, huh, Jim?
10:07Hey, how about a game of pinocchio
10:08before Briggs here gets too funny?
10:10Oh, I don't know.
10:11I don't have much time.
10:14Well, all right.
10:15Come on, we'll all have a good time.
10:21Hiya, fellas.
10:22Hi, Jim.
10:23Couldn't stay away, eh?
10:24I'll beat the pants off.
10:26Oh, yeah.
10:28I'll deal.
10:29All right, but from the top.
10:31Yeah.
10:40You're not superstitious about my sitting in front of you,
10:53are you?
10:54No, no, Jim.
10:55Of course not.
10:56No.
10:57Good.
11:28150 trumps, 100 aces, 60 queens.
11:49My luck and alarm has to come in.
12:20Taxi!
12:21Come on!
12:22Hurry up!
12:23Take me to the fire!
12:24Step on it!
12:26Come on!
12:27Come on!
12:28Come on!
12:29Come on!
12:30Come on!
12:31Come on!
12:32You got it!
12:33Get out of the way, Jim!
12:34Come on, get out of the way!
12:35Take me to the fire!
12:36Step on it!
12:37Step on it!
12:38Get out of the way!
12:39Come on!

19:57I guess you're to blame, eh Vulcan?
19:59♪
20:13Fire. Beautiful fire.
20:17♪
20:25Had an argument with Frank?
20:27Oh no, Mother. I'm terribly worried. Mr. Stevens is so unfair.
20:31You'd think Frank were neglecting his job.
20:33Now arson isn't easy to pin on anyone, especially when you have a pyromaniac to deal with.
20:38Well, maybe you could help, Dad. You've had so much experience.
20:41Remember me? I've retired.
20:45The arson squad's on the job and the police are on the lookout.
20:48And Frank has got to go...
20:49Then you haven't any suggestion?
20:51No, my dear. Don't forget I'm not in the service anymore.
20:54I've outlived my usefulness.
20:56You've reached the age limit, Dad.
20:58Age limit? What a laugh.
21:00One day I'm valuable to the department, the next I'm an old man.
21:03Why, I'm just as active as I was ten years ago.
21:05And I've worked side by side with men that are twenty years younger.
21:08And I've always done my part.
21:10Now I've reached the age limit.
21:13And they've retired me. They want me to sit around and twiddle my thumbs.
21:16They've got youth in the department.
21:18Let them worry about the fires, firebugs.
21:21I don't care if the whole city burns down.
21:23Sure.
21:53Fire!
22:09Find anything interesting?
22:11No.
22:13That's where the fire started, though.
22:20Hey!
22:21What is it?
22:22Come and have a look.
22:26That looks like part of a time clock.
22:45There will be more fires.
22:47Great fires, high into the heavens.
22:49They think you're the god of fire.
22:51But no.
22:53I am.
23:14Gee, it's great birds, you know.
23:16Taking it easy like this.
23:18Of course, I miss you and the boys.
23:20But I can always drop in and see you.
23:22Just to make us envious, eh?
23:24You know me better than that.
23:26Yeah, you're just the type to rub it in.
23:30Maybe I am putting on a little bit.
23:32But it won't be long before you're doing the same thing, you know.
23:35Oh.
23:37Going someplace, huh?
23:39Yeah.
23:40With you.
23:42You know the very first thing we're going to do when I get my pension?
23:45Yeah.
23:46Going on a fine fishing trip.
23:48And boy, there's the spot.
23:50Gee, that's all right, huh?
23:52Say, just as soon as the hunting season's open,
23:54why, we'll just give this joint the once-over.
23:57Maybe I can get to use the gun you gave me eight years ago for a birthday present.
24:00Sure.
24:16Wait for me here, Jim.
24:18I've got some other ideas.
24:19I'll be right back.
24:46Yes?
24:48What?
24:50What's that?
24:52Where?
24:54Okay.
24:56It's another warehouse, boys.
24:5810th and Main.
24:59Here we go again.
25:01Where?
25:03Okay.
25:05It's another warehouse, boys.
25:0710th and Main.
25:08Here we go again.
25:31All right.
25:33You take that one, and I'll take that one over there.
25:35Okay, boys.
26:01Come on.
26:03Let's look them over.
26:31Come on.
26:53Gunshot.
27:01Oh, boy.
27:03Oh, boy.
27:30Who is it?
27:32Who is it?
27:38Boom.
27:39Boom.
27:41Boom.
28:02Ah.
28:12What happened?
28:14Bart.
28:15He's badly injured.
28:17Where did they take him?
28:18The receiving hospital.
28:19Huh.
28:21It's pretty tough on Jim.
28:29Who is he?
28:30He's a very sick man, hurt internally.
28:32There must be something that can be done.
28:36Can I see him?
28:56All right, son.
28:59Boy, I heard you had a little accident, huh?
29:03Oh, it's...
29:05It's all right, Jim.
29:07Oh, you'll be out of here in no time.
29:10You'll get a leave of absence,
29:12and we'll go hunting and fishing together.
29:14And look, I found a swell mountain crib.
29:18Look, look where...
29:19Look.
29:21There it is, I see.
29:22Yeah.
29:23I...
29:25I like that.
29:27I like that, Jim.
29:28I look forward to the pension.
29:31Oh, we'll...
29:33We'll have a grand time together, you and me.
29:36Just a couple of jumpin' and leisure, that's us, huh?
29:39Yes.
29:40Yes, of course.
29:42Of course.
29:43Now, look, all you gotta do is take care of yourself and...
29:47And...
29:48Yeah.
29:52Bart.
29:58Good afternoon, miss.
30:00I'd like to see the salt and pepper set in the window.
30:02Of course.
30:07Are these the ones you mean?
30:09Yes.
30:10They're lovely.
30:12How much are they?
30:13They're just $10.
30:15There's a dent in this one.
30:17Really?
30:18Yes.
30:19I'll take it.
30:27Miss Hadley?
30:29Oh, I'd be most happy to fix it for you.
30:32Well, I'll take them.
30:33If you don't mind delivering them.
30:35Not at all.
30:36My name is Miss Hadley.
30:37Miss Hadley?
30:381488.
30:401488?
30:41Comstock.
30:42Comstock.
30:43Thank you very much, Miss Hadley.
30:44Yes.
30:49X-ray, X-ray!
30:50All about the big fire!
30:52X-ray, X-ray!
30:53Fireman kill!
30:54Bart!
30:55Paper lady.
30:59X-ray, X-ray!
31:00All about the big fire!
31:02X-ray, X-ray!
31:03Fireman kill!
31:05X-ray, X-ray!
31:06All about the big fire!
31:08X-ray, X-ray!
31:10Fireman kill!
31:11X-ray...
31:16Feel better?
31:18Guess we'd better run along.
31:20Gotta go back on duty.
31:22If there's anything we can do...
31:24Oh, no.
31:25Thank you for dropping in.
31:26Uh, we'll let ourselves out.
31:29Goodbye, Jim.
31:30Uh...
31:39Suppose Frank would mind if I worked with him?
31:41Of course not, Dad.
31:45Might be able to help Henderson, too, huh?
31:47Oh, I'm sure you could.
31:52I'll see who it is.
31:56Hello, Dad.
31:57Hello, Frank.
32:00How's your father taking it?
32:01Well, he's pretty upset.
32:08Hello.
32:09Good evening, Frank.
32:11I'm sorry, Mr. Hadley.
32:12That's all right.
32:14Frank, I don't know whether you know it or not,
32:16but I've had little experience on the arson squad.
32:19Joan and I were thinking I might be of some help.
32:21Fine.
32:22I was going to ask you to give us a hand,
32:24but, well, I knew you were retired.
32:26No.
32:27This is one job I want to do.
32:29Good.
32:32Joan, see who's there.
32:33Yes, Mother.
32:41Good evening, Miss Hadley.
32:43I brought the things you wished.
32:45Well, thank you.
32:47I'll get the money for you.
32:49I bought that salt-and-pepper set this afternoon.
32:57I hope I'm not intruding.
33:01Oh, we've had a terrible shock.
33:04A very dear friend of ours died this afternoon.
33:07May I offer my condolences?
33:12I'm afraid I can't.
33:14I'm afraid I can't.
33:16I'm afraid I can't.
33:18Was your friend ill long?
33:21He was injured in a fire today.
33:23A very unfortunate.
33:27I'll get it.
33:28I'm expecting a call.
33:32Hello?
33:33Yes.
33:34Yes, Jack.
33:36They made the time clock, didn't they?
33:39I see.
33:41Well, it was a clue anyway.
33:43Sorry it didn't work out.
33:45Well, we'll get together in the morning.
33:47We're going to ask some expert advice too.
33:49Jim Hadley.
33:55So long.
33:56I'll be seeing you.
34:00Well, what happened, Frank?
34:02It looked like we were getting someplace,
34:04but this pyromaniac is a little too clever for us.
34:06You said something about a time clock?
34:08We found one at the oil fire.
34:10Traced it to the manufacturer,
34:11but it was among those stolen from a warehouse.
34:13So we're no better off than we were before.
34:15Thanks.
34:29I wonder if you could let me have ten dollars, Frank?
34:31Sure.
34:39I appreciate your bringing up the set.
34:43Good evening.
34:44Good evening.
34:52How about getting together the first thing in the morning?
34:54The sooner the better.
34:55Good night.
34:56Good night, dear.
34:57Good night.
35:01Where'd King go?
35:02I don't know.
35:03But the way things are,
35:04I wouldn't be surprised if he was taking out
35:06more insurance on this building.
35:08We've got to do something.
35:11Maybe one of us should arrest the other as a suspect.
35:14Hello, Captain.
35:15Hello, Anderson.
35:16Jack tells me you're going to give us a hand.
35:18What makes it so difficult to catch the man we want
35:20is that apparently he has no motives
35:22and you can't tell where he's going to pop up next.
35:25Where was this piece of time clock found?
35:27At the oil tanks.
35:28Oil tank, huh?
35:29Yeah.
35:31I'd like to take a look around.
35:32Okay.
35:41I picked it up right about here.
35:43Must have set off a charge of dynamite.
35:47Trace of auraline here.
35:49Auraline?
35:50Yeah, a rare fluid used to spread flames
35:52after an explosion.
35:53Let's have the wood analyzed.
35:54That's good.
35:58Lampard's had enough time to build a house
36:00with that piece of wood.
36:01We used a spectroscope,
36:03a very effective instrument for this type of work.
36:05Yes, I know.
36:06It was one man whose shop burn
36:08put in a claim for silver foxes.
36:10But by using this instrument,
36:11we discovered he had substituted rabbit skins
36:13for the foxes just before the fire.
36:16Well?
36:17It's auraline, all right, Lieutenant.
36:19And the wood is a fine grade of maple.
36:21Then get a list of all places selling auraline right away.
36:24Yes, sir.
36:25Trace down that wood.
36:26Now, we're getting somewhere.
36:32You don't remember anybody
36:33who bought a small quantity of white maple?
36:38Are you sure you have no record of it?
36:40Very important.
36:43Can't you remember?
36:44Think.
36:45Think hard.
36:46When was he here last?
36:48What does he look like?
36:49Where does he live?
36:51He remembered making about 20 little boxes for this man
36:54and described him as a medium build and about 40.
36:58But couldn't give me any idea
37:00as to who he was or where he lived.
37:01What did he do?
37:02Pick up the boxes at the lumber company?
37:05And if he's as smart as I think he is,
37:07he won't go back there again.
37:10So they thought they could trace that clock, eh?
37:16Now, Vulcan,
37:17you shall see for yourself how I destroy.
37:40♪
38:10Got you doing it now, huh, Mother?
38:12Your father should have been home hours ago.
38:15Don't worry.
38:16You know Dad,
38:17when he gets his mind set on something...
38:19Oh, I know, David.
38:21Jim!
38:22Sorry I'm late.
38:23Why didn't you telephone me
38:24so I'd know you were all right?
38:26I was busy.
38:27Is there anything neat in the house?
38:29I'll fix something for you.
38:30Coffee and sandwiches will do.
38:34Jim, darling,
38:35I know how important this job is to you,
38:38but you've just got to take care of yourself.
38:40I'm all right, Ma.
38:43Hmm.
38:45We were going hunting.
38:46Fishing.
38:48I wish I could lay my hands on the miserable...
38:51I wish I could lay my hands on the miserable...
38:53♪
39:20Hello?
39:21Hello?
39:23Mr. Hadley there?
39:25Yes, I'll tell him.
39:26Hold the line, please.
39:29Your sandwich is ready, Dad.
39:30Okay.
39:31Jim, it's for you.
39:32Oh.
39:35Hello?
39:36Hello, Captain?
39:37Yes.
39:39Yes, Jack.
39:41I'm leaving right away.
39:43What is it?
39:44Big warehouse fire.
39:45Oh, but you haven't eaten anything.
39:47I'm not hungry, dear.
39:48Oh, dear.
39:53♪
40:22♪
40:47Now, look.
40:48You may see for yourself what...
40:50What...
40:52What...
41:20♪
41:44I thought I'd lost you.
41:46♪
41:54Well, Captain.
41:56It looks like another one of those things.
42:03The fire.
42:04The beautiful fire.
42:08They say the world will be destroyed by fire.
42:11And they're right.
42:13I'll destroy it.
42:16♪
42:37Oh, good evening, Mr. Hadley.
42:38Hello.
42:41Evidently, your company didn't insure the warehouse.
42:44Fortunately not.
42:45I'll fix you something to eat, dear.
42:46Don't bother.
42:47I grabbed a bite on the way home.
42:48Where's your mother?
42:49I made her go to bed.
42:50Good girl.
42:51No luck, eh?
42:53A pyromaniac is the hardest criminal in the world to catch.
42:56And this one left no clues whatever.
42:58I hope to catch him at the fire.
43:00I must have looked at a thousand faces for the giveaway sign, you know?
43:03The wild, scary expression of the firebug.
43:06Oh.
43:07Like the antique man that was here.
43:09What'd you say?
43:11Well, you remember the man from the antique store?
43:13Yes, the fellow who brought the salt and pepper shakers.
43:16Yeah.
43:17Well, when I let him match for Frank, he stared at it in the strangest way.
43:22Like he was fascinated?
43:24Yes, Dad.
43:25At the time, I thought it was peculiar, but...
43:28Oh, well, I had other things on my mind.
43:30I don't suppose he has anything to do with the fires.
43:33Say, he did seem interested in what was going on.
43:35You remember, he asked questions.
43:36You know anything about him?
43:38Not much. He runs a shop near the office.
43:40Has all sorts of old things there.
43:41Statues of mythological characters.
43:43He has one of Mars, another of Vulcan.
43:45Vulcan?
43:46Yes, the god of fire.
43:48Hmm. God of fire.
43:50A symbol a pyromaniac might use.
43:53Uh, what does this Vulcan look like?
43:55Oh, he's a statue. Stands on a pedestal.
43:58About that high.
43:59Holds a hammer in one hand. Face looks up.
44:02I found one when I got out of the fire and put it in my car.
44:05And when I got home, it was gone.
44:06Now, that may have had no connection with the pyromaniac.
44:09Nevertheless, I think we ought to look at the one that the antique man has.
44:13Sure.
44:14It's kind of late, Dad.
44:15Never mind. You're pretty ahead about that.
44:18We'll go in my car.
44:19All right. Good night, darling.
44:39Well?
44:42Looks exactly like it.
44:44That's the only reproduction of Vulcan I've seen since I left school.
44:48Mind waiting for me at the car?
44:50Okay.
45:02Good evening, sir.
45:03Good evening.
45:04You've got some very interesting things in the shop here.
45:09I'd like to see that statue in the window.
45:11Statue?
45:12Yeah, the one of Vulcan.
45:14Oh, I'm very sorry, but that is not for sale.
45:17It's the property of a client of mine.
45:18He left it with me before he went abroad.
45:21Oh, that's too bad.
45:23I'm making a collection of statues and I'd like to add that one to it.
45:26How about making me a copy?
45:28I'm afraid that will not be possible.
45:29You see, my client would not permit that.
45:33Oh, well, I guess we can't do any business.
45:36Not for the present.
45:37I'm afraid not.
45:39Thanks for dropping in, Mr. Hadley.
45:42Good night, sir.
45:45Good night.
45:53Any luck?
45:56Didn't strike me quite right.
45:59However, he gave me a pretty good reason for not selling it to me.
46:03How about driving me to a phone, son?
46:05Suits me.
46:07I hope you make a habit of calling me, son.
46:09I hope you make a habit of calling me, son.
46:31Joan.
46:33Joan, I wonder if Mr. Jameson is at home.
46:36Well, I could find out. Why, mother?
46:37Well, I'm a little nervous and I thought maybe he wouldn't mind dropping over.
46:42Well, I'll call him.
47:07The phone's dead.
47:09I guess the wind must have blown the wires down.
47:11Why, Joan.
47:12Oh, now, mother.
47:15Here, let me get you another cup of coffee.
47:32Joan!
47:37Joan!
47:41The man from the antique shop.
47:43Good evening, ladies.
47:45I'm sorry.
47:47Terribly sorry if I startled you.
48:07It's too bad Mr. Hadley had to leave so suddenly.
48:10Oh, but he'll be right back.
48:11Oh, any minute now.
48:17I don't like to contradict you ladies, but I hardly think so.
48:30Sit down, please.
48:37Hi, Captain.
48:39I thought our firebird might have come back here.
48:41We got a report just a moment ago that he was seen in the Mayfair district,
48:44but the lieutenant told me to stick around here.
48:47Mayfair district?
48:49It's pretty close to home.
48:50We'd better get back there, Mr. Hadley.
48:51Right. Joan and the wife are there.
49:07Those salt and pepper shakers I bought from you are most satisfactory.
49:11Oh, thank you.
49:13Do you have candlesticks to match?
49:15Candlesticks?
49:17No, I'm afraid not, Miss Hadley.
49:21It's unfortunate that your father became so interested in my affairs.
49:26Unfortunate for you.
49:29Unfortunate for your mother.
49:33I don't understand.
49:34You will presently.
49:37I have a little surprise for you.
49:48Step on it, Frank.
49:53Hurry, hurry.
49:59It's very nice of you to drop in.
50:02I hope you won't think I'm rude, but my mother and I would really like to be alone.
50:05You shall be.
50:07I shouldn't try to escape if I were you.
50:10What does he mean?
50:12It's really too bad Mr. Hadley became curious.
50:16That she didn't have enough intelligence to mind his own business.
50:35What have you done?
50:43John!
50:46Oh, no!
50:57I'm really worried about Joan and Mark.
51:05Oh, mother.
51:07Mother, please, you've got to help me.
51:14Oh, help me, please.
51:20The house is where I hang.
51:22Put me in there.
51:24Joan, Mark!
51:25Joan, Mark!
51:35And here.
51:36Father!
51:37Come on, Frank, get him out of here.
51:38I'll get him out of here.
51:39I'll take care of him.
51:40Get him out.
51:42Keep away from me.
51:43Keep away from me, you hear?
51:44Don't come near me.
51:48Keep away.
51:49Don't you dare touch me.
51:50I must go to the fire.
51:55Again, we have gathered to honor Jim Hadley,
51:58whose activities in the last week are well known to all of you.
52:02Although he is pensioned, I am happy to inform you
52:05that he has been prevailed upon to come out of retirement.
52:13And it is with the greatest personal satisfaction
52:15that I have the honor to appoint Jim Hadley
52:18honorary fire chief of our city.
52:33Speech! Speech!
52:34Hooray for Hadley!
52:35What do you got to say for yourself, Jim?
52:37Well, folks,
52:39here I am again.
52:44I want to thank you, chief,
52:46all my friends,
52:48and those who have made my appointment possible.
52:50I'm very happy to have work to do.
52:52Inactivity will kill any man, even one my age.
52:58I'll be very happy in my new job and do the best I can.
53:02I hope the chief will not be sorry he gave me the appointment.
53:10And I'll never
53:12let a friend down.
53:22THE END
