00:01:00A real lakeside home.
00:01:13A beautiful lake for swimming, boating, fishing.
00:01:16At no cost to you, we stand the entire expense.
00:01:21Everything absolutely free.
00:01:23I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, Adams City, sponsored by that eminent philanthropist Mr.
00:01:28Roland Adams, is a fast-growing center of culture, a city with a future.
00:01:40Buy that future now.
00:01:42Put your money where you can watch it grow.
00:01:45And remember, folks, there is no finer investment on Earth than Earth itself.
00:01:51I thank you.
00:01:56But you see, I have only $25.
00:01:58Now, that's all right, lady, don't you apologize, because for $25 bucks down, you're going to
00:02:04do a magnificent, a swell bargain.
00:02:07You'll never regret it.
00:02:08And your children will never regret it.
00:02:10And your grandchildren will never regret it.
00:02:12And your great-great-grandchildren will thank you.
00:02:15But I'm not married.
00:02:18Take my word for it, lady, you have the most beautiful lot in the tract.
00:02:22Will there really be a lake there, Mr. Wolfe?
00:02:24While the whole valley will be underwater in 60 days, Roland Adams' honesty has never
00:02:29been questioned.
00:02:30Come on, brother.
00:02:31Let's get him.
00:02:32Let's tear him to pieces.
00:02:33Come on now.
00:02:34Let's get him.
00:02:35Let's get him.
00:02:36Come on.
00:02:37Come on.
00:02:38Come on.
00:02:39Come on.
00:02:40Come on.
00:02:41Come on.
00:02:42Come on.
00:02:43Come on.
00:02:44Come on.
00:02:45Come on.
00:02:46Come on.
00:02:47Come on.
00:02:48Come on.
00:02:49Come on.
00:02:50Come on.
00:02:51Come on.
00:02:52Come on.
00:02:54Come on.
00:02:56Come on.
00:02:57Come here.
00:02:58Here.
00:02:59What's the cause of this inclusion, may I ask?
00:03:02We represent every decent and progressive organization in this town, from the Chamber
00:03:06of Conference on down.
00:03:08For months you've been robbing the people with your misstatements, and now we're going to
00:03:11put an end to it.
00:03:12Why, my friend, Adams City is a legitimate enterprise.
00:03:15A boon to your community.
00:03:18We are running an honest business and the law must protect us.
00:03:21We know the law has no power to remove you, that's the reason we're here.
00:03:24But you and your gang of hoodlums are leaving this town with a personal escort.
00:03:29And this money is going to be given back to the people from whom it was stolen.
00:03:33I resent that!
00:03:33Go on, get going.
00:03:35You can't do this!
00:03:36Shut up!
00:03:37I'll take this up with my senator!
00:03:39Get out of this town!
00:03:46Uh-huh, so you can't get the mayor brains?
00:03:49Yeah, a lot of good your legal mind did you in the hands of Martin and his mob.
00:03:53This burns my potato.
00:03:55Oh, I admit I made a mistake, but it could have been worse.
00:03:58Yeah, I suppose I could have broken dates with two beautiful redheads instead of one.
00:04:02Meeting of the board of directors of the Eureka Realty Company.
00:04:05And I'm telling you it's again the regulations for five to sleep in one room.
00:04:10I guarantee no one will sleep here tonight.
00:04:13Oh, that's different.
00:04:15Wait a minute!
00:04:16Bring us five ham sandwiches and a large pot of hot coffee.
00:04:19And bring me the same.
00:04:21General Hall, what will you have?
00:04:23Aspirin?
00:04:25Oh, no, my feet burn not.
00:04:27Hey, Junior!
00:04:28Yes, sir?
00:04:29Bring me some grapes.
00:04:32And you, sir?
00:04:34Scram, egg.
00:04:35Scram, eggs?
00:04:36Yes, sir.
00:04:40Well, governor, what next?
00:04:41Well, it's a little too early to mention any definite plans.
00:04:45But I have an idea formulating in the back of my mind that
00:04:48may turn out to be stupendously proportional.
00:04:52Well, then count me out.
00:04:53That mob back there was stupendous enough for me.
00:04:56What are you squawking about?
00:04:57I made a pretty slick living for you, didn't I?
00:04:59Ever since you joined up with us.
00:05:00And as for that mob, what's a mob, anyway?
00:05:04A mob's bad medicine, Adams, unless you're on the controlling end.
00:05:07I know because I've met you before some of the best mobs in the country.
00:05:11Did any of you fellas ever hear of the word mob?
00:05:13Did any of you fellas ever hear of the word prejudice?
00:05:17Yeah, that's when one guy hates another guy, isn't it?
00:05:21Your intelligence fairly overwhelmed me, Wilson.
00:05:24The mob that just wrecked Adams City wasn't even organized.
00:05:26It sprang up overnight.
00:05:28And yet it had plenty of members.
00:05:29You know why?
00:05:31Prejudice.
00:05:32You see, the leader of the mob wasn't only head of the Chamber of Commerce.
00:05:35He was in the real estate business, too.
00:05:37So he went around to all the clubs and told the people that we were a bunch of crooks,
00:05:39racketeers, maybe with changed names.
00:05:42What's that got to do with us making any big dough?
00:05:45You explain it to him, Frank, in one cylinder word.
00:05:47You're used to talking to these dumb clucks.
00:05:49You see, people everywhere are jealous of the other fellow and his money.
00:05:52Intolerant of his religion.
00:05:53Prejudice.
00:05:54But now, with the depression and unemployment conditions, this idea's a cinch.
00:05:59We'll capitalize on jealousy, intolerance, and patriotism.
00:06:02We'll form a secret lodge and band our members into a legion of patriotic avengers.
00:06:06The Avenging Angels.
00:06:07That's a great name!
00:06:09Avenging Angels!
00:06:10With plenty of mystery.
00:06:11Secret meetings.
00:06:13Secret oaths.
00:06:13Mysterious robes.
00:06:15And phony riches.
00:06:17Boy, the suckers will eat it up.
00:06:19Right.
00:06:20And we'll build up the mayor here as the great public defender and benefactor.
00:06:23Yeah, but listen.
00:06:24What I want to know is, where do we get our dough?
00:06:28What about the financing, Governor?
00:06:30Well, that comes under the heading of the managerial department.
00:06:32Let me worry about that.
00:06:34Well, boys, I've got it.
00:06:38We're going back to my old hometown where I used to be mayor.
00:06:42A big shot before repeal came along, and the bootleggers stopped paying me protection money,
00:06:46and then I quit.
00:06:48My daughter there has an independent income.
00:06:50She's financed my enterprises before.
00:06:53Now, she'll put us up until we rake in a few initiation fees and sell a few robes.
00:06:57Boys, if we work this thing right, we ought to have a couple of thousand members anyway.
00:07:02A couple of thousand, Mayor?
00:07:04Well, that many and maybe more if your gift of gab holds out.
00:07:08Don't you worry about my gift of the gab.
00:07:10I'll make the Avenging Angels a national institution, or I miss my guests.
00:07:13And from now on, don't call me Sandino.
00:07:17My name's Sands.
00:07:18Don't forget it.
00:07:19American names for American people.
00:07:34Daddy!
00:08:01That's a long story, my little dumpling.
00:08:03Hello, Mayor!
00:08:05Bob!
00:08:06Welcome back to Midland.
00:08:08So, little Bobby Sherman is district attorney, eh?
00:08:10Oh, and the best one we've ever had.
00:08:12How did you ever hear of it?
00:08:13Oh, leave it to me, my boy.
00:08:15I read it in the, uh...
00:08:17Chinese newspaper.
00:08:21Chinese newspaper.
00:08:22I just think it seemed like only a few short days ago
00:08:25that I was chasing Winn and you out of the apple tree.
00:08:29Well, well, Mayor.
00:08:30Hello, Warren.
00:08:31How's the brilliant old farm crusader?
00:08:33Getting kind of rusty on crusading, but now that you're back...
00:08:36Well, I could help you out, but my services are rather expensive.
00:08:40Well, the public found out once, remember?
00:08:43Anyway, your arrival is a spook.
00:08:45I'll hurry down now for the first edition.
00:08:47That's great.
00:08:48You might tell your readers that I...
00:08:50Hang on to their pocketbooks.
00:08:51But...
00:08:54Great rivers meet...
00:08:55Hello, Mayor!
00:08:57Hello, Mayor!
00:08:58I'm so glad to see you.
00:08:59Boy, and about just my color.
00:09:01And the man owed two dollars to you.
00:09:04Friends, friends, neighbors!
00:09:06Your warm greeting has overwhelmed me.
00:09:09But if you'll excuse me, I would like to have a few words alone with my little, uh...
00:09:14Canary.
00:09:19Winn, uh, my little orchid.
00:09:21I brought a business partner home with me.
00:09:24He's waiting outside and, uh...
00:09:26And, uh, you'd like me to put him up.
00:09:28Is that it, Major Hoople?
00:09:31Well, you see, we had an emergency conference
00:09:33with some of the leading citizens of the...
00:09:35Well, where we were.
00:09:37Her departure, in their interest, left us quite unprepared.
00:09:41You silly old rascal.
00:09:43Uh, could you come in?
00:09:48Come in, Mr. Sands.
00:09:57What do you know about that?
00:09:59I must have miscounted.
00:10:06Ah, Quentin Hoople!
00:10:10Well, I guess I can find room for all of them, Dad.
00:10:13Any more?
00:10:17No.
00:10:19Winn, this is my associate.
00:10:21The renowned lecturer and reformer, Mr. Frank Sands.
00:10:24And my lovely daughter, Winn.
00:10:26Much more than lovely, Mayor.
00:10:29And, uh, these were the gentlemen of the three debuts.
00:10:32This is Wolf, Wilson, and Walker, our assistants.
00:10:36Pleased to meet you, Miss Adams.
00:10:37Yes, we've heard a lot about you from the governor here.
00:10:39Uh, not governor, uh, Mayor.
00:10:42How do you do?
00:10:44Well, I... I expect you're all very hungry.
00:10:46It's too bad they don't put the diner on the train
00:10:49until it reaches Middleton.
00:10:51Got any grapes?
00:10:52Got any grapes?
00:10:54Well, I wouldn't be at all surprised.
00:11:02Hey, are those real?
00:11:03Why, of course!
00:11:04What are they?
00:11:05Pearls!
00:11:06Pearls?
00:11:07That oyster must have had the bump.
00:11:15Control yourself.
00:11:17Take it easy.
00:11:18Remember your operation.
00:11:19I still can't figure out why you do this sort of work.
00:11:22I wish I could get more of it, Mr. Sands.
00:11:24It's better than being on relief.
00:11:26But you're far too attractive to be just a servant girl.
00:11:28Perhaps I can help you find something better.
00:11:31Got an outfit, Seltzer?
00:11:32Wait a minute.
00:11:34See you later?
00:11:35Not if I see you first.
00:11:38What do you think this is?
00:11:39A drug store?
00:11:40I don't know.
00:11:40I'm a stranger around here.
00:11:42Glass of water will do.
00:11:47Thanks, babe.
00:11:49Hey, Arthur, the joke's on me.
00:12:14And the drink's on you.
00:12:17You dance beautifully, Miss Adams.
00:12:20Maybe it's because I'm happy.
00:12:21Your radiance makes that self-explanatory.
00:12:23Oh, you flatterer.
00:12:25It would be utterly impossible for me to flatter you.
00:12:46Uh, excuse me.
00:12:50It's me, Frank.
00:12:52It's my daughter.
00:12:53Well, I can appreciate beauty from a distance, can't I?
00:12:56Yes, but keep your distance.
00:13:10Are you going to run for office again, ma'am?
00:13:13No, I believe not.
00:13:14I've returned to Middleton on a greater and more patriotic mission.
00:13:18Mr. Sands here is a noted authority and lecturer on sociological problems.
00:13:23We've been traveling over the country, studying the unemployment situation,
00:13:27and the growing restlessness of our nation's youth.
00:13:32After an extensive study of those conditions, Mr. Sands and I have received a letter from
00:13:36the President of the United States.
00:13:39After an extensive study of those conditions, Mr. Sands and I have concluded that their
00:13:43basic cause is primarily foreigners.
00:13:46Too long have we permitted aliens and foreigners to prosper by whatever means they choose.
00:13:53I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the youth of our country is growing indolent
00:13:57and starving.
00:13:58These conditions must cease.
00:14:01There's undoubtedly some truth in what you say, Mayor.
00:14:03But, uh, just how do you propose to peaceably remedy the situation?
00:14:08Well, I will just come into that, Bob.
00:14:10But, uh, perhaps my brilliant associate, Mr. Sands, can more ably illustrate our plans.
00:14:15Thank you, Mr. Adams.
00:14:18This is rather impromptu, ladies and gentlemen, but I feel that the cause is worthy of the
00:14:22occasion.
00:14:25The only way that we can save the youth of our nation is to organize them in one single
00:14:30group, and through them enforce the precepts of 100 percent Americanism.
00:14:35Corruption and politics must go.
00:14:38Civic virtue and patriotism must be our goal.
00:14:41We must enforce a reverence for our flag and our constitution.
00:14:45And what is more, protect our American womanhood and guard the sanctity of our home.
00:14:52We must guarantee that the wealth of America must be shared only by real Americans.
00:14:57To maintain and declare absolute boycott against foreigners is our only salvation.
00:15:01But that's impossible.
00:15:02It's against the very principles and creed of the entire nation.
00:15:05This nation must rise against these foreign vultures, who, even though they slyly become
00:15:10citizens, prey upon our industries and corrupt our insanity.
00:15:14It's criminal to advocate such a policy.
00:15:17Why not one out of 20 of us?
00:15:19My friends, they do anything to control their profitable ends.
00:15:22They control our homes, our community relief projects, stores, offices, prices.
00:15:27I ask you, are we going to sit back and allow foreigners to take the very bread from the
00:15:30hungry mouths of Americans?
00:15:33The answer is no.
00:15:35Emphatically no.
00:15:37The man's crazy, Wynne.
00:15:39An organization like that is bound to lead to mob violence.
00:15:43It's half-baked theories.
00:15:45Why, Bob, I don't believe you like him.
00:15:47Like him?
00:15:48Oh, sure.
00:15:49Especially his football tactics.
00:15:51Football?
00:15:52The way he held you in that huddle out there on the dance floor looked to me like the beginning
00:15:56of a perfect forward pass.
00:15:58Wynne, my little fresh, your generosity will win the undying gratitude of thousands.
00:16:04You are an angel!
00:16:05That's not the first time I've been an angel.
00:16:08See you later, darling.
00:16:09Yes, bye, darling.
00:16:14You should be proud that your fair city of Middleton has been destroyed by a mob.
00:16:18I'm sure you'll be proud of that, too.
00:16:20I'm sure you'll be proud of that, too.
00:16:22I'm sure you'll be proud of that, too.
00:16:24I'm sure you'll be proud of that, too.
00:16:26The city of Middleton has been chosen as the typical American community to carry on this
00:16:30noble movement.
00:16:31Hooray!
00:16:32That ought to bring him in, Frank.
00:16:34Well, I don't see why it shouldn't.
00:16:35Did you get the money?
00:16:36Plenty.
00:16:42Oh!
00:16:45That burns my potato.
00:16:47Potato.
00:16:49P-O-T-P-O-T-A-T-T-O.
00:16:54Potato.
00:16:56Say, listen.
00:16:56Will you fellas cut out the spelling bee and get down here and help me address Julius Caesar?
00:17:00Oh, I've done enough already.
00:17:01I'm tired.
00:17:02Oh, say, listen, Mayor.
00:17:04Listen, honestly.
00:17:05Do you think that any sucker is going to fall for all of this shim-sham?
00:17:08Well, we'll soon find out.
00:17:09You know, Barnum said, there's one born every minute.
00:17:13The avenging order of angels originated in the days of Julius Caesar.
00:17:18No, I don't like that.
00:17:19The order of avenging angels originated in the days of Julius Caesar.
00:17:23That's not so good, either.
00:17:28The order of avenging angels originated in the days of Julius Caesar,
00:17:34and is known in many sections of the world
00:17:36as one of the great organizations for the enforcement of right.
00:17:40You should be proud that your fair city of Middleton has been chosen
00:17:44to be the capital of the United States of America.
00:17:47Your fair city of Middleton has been chosen
00:17:49as the typical American community to carry on this noble movement.
00:18:00I hope you brought your $25.
00:18:03This will help pay for your initiation fee, dues, and elaborate robes.
00:18:08Now, boys, if we all step down here, I'll take your money, boys.
00:18:11This will be a pleasure.
00:18:12Step down here.
00:18:13This will be a pleasure.
00:18:14Join now, my friends.
00:18:16It's the chance of a lifetime.
00:18:17For $25, be true Americans.
00:18:20And, my friends, it is the duty of every one of you to join this organization.
00:18:25Yes, yes, young man.
00:18:26You can join.
00:18:27You're eligible.
00:18:28You're eligible.
00:18:29Yes.
00:18:30Do you swear before this altar of purifying fire,
00:18:34the symbol of wrath and vengeance?
00:18:36To consecrate your brain, your body, your entire being
00:18:39to the principles of our holy order?
00:18:41We do.
00:18:43Then repeat after me.
00:18:44We swear absolute allegiance to our superiors.
00:18:48We swear absolute allegiance to our superiors.
00:18:52No danger or peril shall deter us from executing their orders.
00:18:56No danger or peril shall deter us from executing their orders.
00:19:00You swear to be relentless against our enemies
00:19:03and to show no mercy?
00:19:04And to show no mercy but to strike with an avenging arm
00:19:07so long as breath remains rather than destroy a brother?
00:19:11Or reveal a single word of this, your sacred oath?
00:19:14We swear.
00:19:16Arise, avenging angel!
00:19:22Join now.
00:19:23The high principles of this organization call to every human.
00:19:31Who got our jobs?
00:19:33The foreigners.
00:19:34Join now and we'll drive them out.
00:20:34Come in.
00:20:51Oh, hello, Wynne.
00:20:52Where or why the purple study, Mr. District Attorney?
00:20:59Why, I'm sorry, Bob.
00:21:02What on earth has happened?
00:21:05Before your avenging angels came, Middleton enjoyed peace.
00:21:09Now everything's in a turmoil.
00:21:12Take Combined Airways.
00:21:14After two wage raises, the workers walk out again,
00:21:17destroy property, cause bloodshed.
00:21:19Well, why don't you do something?
00:21:21Have the governor call out the militia.
00:21:23Do something?
00:21:24Like two-thirds of Combined's employees,
00:21:26most of the militia are avenging angels.
00:21:29Frank Sands is behind this whole situation and I know it.
00:21:32You know nothing of the sort.
00:21:33A man of such high ideals couldn't possibly be mixed up in this trouble.
00:21:37I know my father wouldn't.
00:21:41Maybe the people really feel underpaid.
00:21:45Sands has you hypnotized, too.
00:21:47Like the rest of Middleton, you've fallen for his slick palaver.
00:21:50If liking a person who is both charming and interesting is being hypnotized, then...
00:21:54I thought it was something more than the avenging angels that interested you.
00:21:58Every time I call, you're out with him.
00:22:00That's my privilege.
00:22:01And you're abusing it.
00:22:04If you could only see that you're lending yourself to a racket, darling.
00:22:08And that it's my job to expose it, along with that fellow Sands.
00:22:11Bob Sherman, your election as district attorney has gone to your head.
00:22:15I can take care of myself.
00:22:17And don't let your personal dislikes interfere with your official duties.
00:22:21Goodbye.
00:22:33Another thousand hoods sold this week.
00:22:36A profit of almost $3,500.
00:22:39The trouble with you, old man, is that you think in very small numbers.
00:22:42Now, instead of a few dollars from a few people,
00:22:44we're going to make millions of dollars from millions of people.
00:22:47There you are.
00:22:48That burns my potato.
00:22:50I knew you when you didn't have a potato.
00:22:52Oh, yeah?
00:22:53Oh, boy, is that good.
00:22:54The 500, I'd do it again.
00:22:56Here, come on.
00:22:57I'll take it.
00:22:58I'll take it.
00:22:58I'll take it.
00:22:59I'll take it.
00:22:59I'll take it.
00:23:00I'll take it.
00:23:00I'll take it.
00:23:01I'll take it.
00:23:01I'll take it.
00:23:02I'll take it.
00:23:02I'll take it.
00:23:03You're covered.
00:23:03Same to you.
00:23:04All right.
00:23:04Here goes.
00:23:05Round and round and round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows.
00:23:08Gentlemen, I learned that trick from the Indians.
00:23:09You know, my boys, that for years the Indians have laughed up their sleeves.
00:23:12Now, look there.
00:23:13He tilted the thing again.
00:23:13I didn't tilt it.
00:23:14No, he did.
00:23:15How could I tilt that thing?
00:23:15He's honest.
00:23:16He's as honest as I am.
00:23:18Yeah, as honest as you are.
00:23:19Quieten down there, you fellas.
00:23:20Quieten down.
00:23:21I don't know, Frank.
00:23:23I don't like this meddling with mobs and strikes.
00:23:25I fear it might end in disaster.
00:23:27Now, how can it when you're going to be our next governor?
00:23:30Me?
00:23:31Governor?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:33Well, I guess I can't refuse.
00:23:35Mr. Baker of the Combined Airways to see you, sir.
00:23:37Oh, yes.
00:23:37My coat, please.
00:23:39Get that thing out of here, you fellas, will you?
00:23:41Oh, say, now listen.
00:23:42I'm 1,500 bucks in the hole right now.
00:23:44Settle it outside.
00:23:45Oh, what are you crying about?
00:23:47You're in the dough, aren't you?
00:23:48Yeah, 1,500 bucks.
00:23:49That's chicken feed.
00:23:57All right.
00:23:57Show Mr. Baker in.
00:24:02Mr. Baker.
00:24:07How do you do, Mr. Sands?
00:24:09How do you do?
00:24:10Meet our next governor, Roland Adams.
00:24:13I've heard of you.
00:24:17I've come to you because I know what influence you have
00:24:20on the people of this community.
00:24:21I feel you are the only one who can peacefully
00:24:24straighten out my workers and end my strike.
00:24:27Mr. Baker, my time is very valuable.
00:24:30I'll pay you well for your time.
00:24:33What do you want?
00:24:35Well, shall we say 25,000?
00:24:3725,000?
00:24:41All right.
00:24:42Anything to get my men back to work.
00:24:44I'll give you five now and 20 when the strike is settled.
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50Just make out the check for cash and mail it to me.
00:24:53As you wish.
00:24:56Gentlemen, good day.
00:24:58Gentlemen, good day.
00:25:00Good day.
00:25:02Oh, Mr. Baker, don't forget.
00:25:05Adams for governor.
00:25:11You see?
00:25:13That's the way to handle those situations.
00:25:15Another month and we'll have this state in the palm of our hands.
00:25:18We'll control practically every public office.
00:25:22And I'll really be governor?
00:25:24Look.
00:25:25Each one of those pins represents a branch of the avenging angels.
00:25:28Pretty soon, every city, town, and hamlet in the entire state
00:25:31will be covered with those pins.
00:25:33And then...
00:26:24So
00:26:31So
00:26:49I do solemnly swear to honorably and loyally
00:26:53uphold the laws of this sovereign state.
00:26:56And to conduct the office of governor to the best of my ability.
00:27:04This man, Sands, that that rabble rouser that Adams picked up off the Union Square soapbox
00:27:09and forgot to use the soap.
00:27:12He's drunk with power, Harry.
00:27:14The well-meaning members of the avenging angels have been aroused into frenzied hysteria
00:27:18by his eloquent gift of gab.
00:27:20The entire state under Roland Adams' governorship is rotten with graft and corruption.
00:27:25I'll agree, Bob, that Sands has to be stopped.
00:27:27But his organization is chartered and legal.
00:27:30So neither you or the police department can do anything about it.
00:27:33All right.
00:27:34Tell your readers that the district attorney openly accuses the avenging angel officials
00:27:38of inciting mob violence and strikes for their own personal gain.
00:27:42And not only that, but is prepared to appear before the grand jury
00:27:44asking indictments against them.
00:27:46All right, Bob.
00:27:47Our front page is yours.
00:27:49Cool down and go home and get some rest.
00:27:52All right.
00:27:53I will if you'll go with me.
00:27:54We'll have dinner together.
00:27:56Sorry, but I've got to put some more rat poison in this Sands editorial.
00:28:00Later, I want to drop in on Dave Burtis and his wife.
00:28:03See how they're getting along.
00:28:05Same old Sonic laws, huh?
00:28:08I may need help myself sometime.
00:28:10You never can tell.
00:28:14Say, you owls must think this is an all-night restaurant.
00:28:17The idea of coddling you with coffee at this hour is a little strange.
00:28:21Well, kid, what do you think of the lodge by now after nearly two years?
00:28:27It's great.
00:28:28Pass the sugar.
00:28:30It sure is a grand thing to love our country, respect our laws, protect our homes.
00:28:36And say, sis, am I proud.
00:28:38Sands made me traveling organizer for the youth division today.
00:28:41Got to go upstate soon, too.
00:28:44Well, you boys remember Mona.
00:28:46You know, wife and sister.
00:28:48The one with the pug nose and freckles.
00:28:50Oh, say, Mona, you slaved enough for us.
00:28:53Why don't you go to bed?
00:28:54I'll clean up the kitchen.
00:28:55Nay, nay.
00:28:56Mona, stay with master.
00:28:57See master go to bed, get up, and catch him job at Jenkins Emporium tomorrow.
00:29:02Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, Mona.
00:29:05You see, I got some important lodge duties to do.
00:29:07Well, David, we can't stay.
00:29:09Don't worry, sis.
00:29:09You'll get more out of the lodge than I spent freight in Jenkins' bargain basement.
00:29:13Oh, yes?
00:29:15Well, there's a gas bill and a water bill and a lot of other...
00:29:17That's just, they're just trivials, my dear.
00:29:20Why, don't you know that Mr. Sands, the archangel,
00:29:22has promised me a big job in the lodge soon?
00:29:24And is going to pay me a rental for using his place for secret meetings.
00:29:26He says it's safer than his own headquarters.
00:29:30Oh, I don't like it, Dave.
00:29:32This is our home and...
00:29:41Who is it?
00:29:41Who do you suppose?
00:29:43Harry Warren.
00:29:45Oh, Harry.
00:29:46Come in, ye gracious benefactor.
00:29:48How are you, Harry?
00:29:49Fine.
00:29:51Glad to see you.
00:29:53Hello, boys.
00:29:55Well, why all the work?
00:29:56Hello, Mr. Warren.
00:29:57Oh, yes, Tommy.
00:29:58Hello, Harry.
00:29:59How are you, Dave?
00:30:00How are you?
00:30:00Have a chair?
00:30:02Here, have a cup of coffee.
00:30:03Yes, that's fine.
00:30:05And a donut.
00:30:06Don't care if I do.
00:30:07Are you up on your technique?
00:30:08What do you mean, technique?
00:30:10Dunking, dunking.
00:30:15Oh, Harry, what are you doing on so late?
00:30:18Oh, a lot of big news broke.
00:30:19It delayed my putting the paper to bed.
00:30:21Sherman's going to ask for indictments
00:30:22against the leaders of the Avenging Angels.
00:30:25You're not going to headline a story like that, are you?
00:30:28I most certainly am.
00:30:30Mob rule is not right and never will be.
00:30:33Surely, Harry, you're not in favor of our most lucrative
00:30:36public offices and positions being held by foreigners.
00:30:38Dave, I'm surprised at you.
00:30:40Very few of us are more than once or twice
00:30:42removed from foreign ancestry.
00:30:44I fought on the front lines side by side
00:30:46with this so-called foreigner,
00:30:47where there was no difference in race, color, or creed.
00:30:50Each gave his life willingly
00:30:52for the preservation of American principles.
00:30:56I better not get started on that.
00:30:58My wife will have a squad car out looking for me.
00:31:03You know how she is.
00:31:04Worries about me if I'm out a little later than usual.
00:31:06Oh, by the way, Tommy, I've arranged for you
00:31:09to start at the plant next week as printer's devil.
00:31:11Well, uh, thanks, Mr. Warren.
00:31:14And, Dave, I believe I can get you
00:31:16in the circulation department at the same time.
00:31:18Here, type out this application bank and mail it to me.
00:31:21I'll do the typing, then I'll be sure you get it.
00:31:28Harry, how can we ever repay you
00:31:30for all the nice things you've done for us?
00:31:32First, you helped put Tommy through school
00:31:34when times were bad, and now you're going to...
00:31:36Oh, forget it.
00:31:38Good night.
00:31:39Good night, Harry.
00:31:40Good night, Dave.
00:31:40Good night.
00:31:45Give my love to Mrs. Warren.
00:31:46I will.
00:31:49You see, boys?
00:31:50You both got jobs.
00:31:52Yeah, but honey, if I take the job, I'll lose my relief.
00:31:55Oh, Dave.
00:32:14That's fine, how come you're so...
00:32:25Bob Sherman publicly attacking me on the eve
00:32:27of my next gubernatorial campaign.
00:32:29I don't blame him.
00:32:31You've been the weakest governor this state ever had.
00:32:33You haven't done one worthwhile thing
00:32:35since you've been in office.
00:32:37Now, now, don't start clawing me again,
00:32:39my little wild cat.
00:32:41I'm working for the people.
00:32:42Oh, that's what you've been saying
00:32:43ever since you were elected.
00:32:45I'd rather see you resign than be impeached,
00:32:48and that's what's going to happen.
00:32:50Oh, if you'd only listen to Frank Sands,
00:32:52you'd be better off.
00:32:54Hello, lovely lady.
00:32:56Hello, Frank.
00:32:59Thanks for the orchids all the way from South America.
00:33:02A rare flower for a rare girl.
00:33:04I'm not...
00:33:05I shouldn't have such extravagance.
00:33:08Princess, that's only the beginning.
00:33:11Frank, you seem to know all the answers.
00:33:15Why don't you keep Dad from making so many mistakes?
00:33:18I'm worried.
00:33:19People of this state are up in arms over his laxity.
00:33:22I tried to win, but he won't listen to me.
00:33:25He's so headstrong.
00:33:27I'll keep on trying, though, eh?
00:33:29Please do.
00:33:31Tonight's the opening of the Avenging Angels
00:33:32pre-medical clinic.
00:33:33You coming with me?
00:33:34After we worked together so hard on the plan,
00:33:37I couldn't miss it.
00:33:38Until then.
00:33:41Frank?
00:33:41Yes?
00:33:46The fine mess you're getting me into with my daughter,
00:33:48why, you...
00:33:49Shut up.
00:33:50What are those legislators trying to pull on us?
00:33:52Here are five Senate bills.
00:33:54Sign the top two and veto the rest.
00:33:56But Frank, this tax is too high.
00:33:58It's unfair.
00:33:59I said sign them.
00:34:02I can't do this to the people.
00:34:03Don't hand me a laugh.
00:34:05You don't realize the danger we're getting into.
00:34:07An unfriendly press is the worst enemy we can have.
00:34:10I'm running this state.
00:34:11And I'll take care of Warren, that meddling scribbler, in my own way.
00:34:14I'll sign them.
00:34:22Avengers of life!
00:34:24We have gathered together here before this mystic tribunal
00:34:27to pronounce judgment upon our enemy, Harry Warren.
00:34:34But now he has desecrated our high standards of morality.
00:34:38My private investigators have brought me conclusive evidence
00:34:41of his philandering and unfaithfulness to his wife.
00:34:46You have spoken.
00:34:48He is an evil force that must be eradicated at once.
00:35:00Eavesdropping, eh?
00:35:01This is horrible.
00:35:02They won't take part in this atrocious scheme.
00:35:04Why, Harry Warren's our best friend.
00:35:06I'm going to the police.
00:35:07Hold up, Mona.
00:35:08So Warren's a friend of yours, eh?
00:35:11Yes.
00:35:12Will that prevent you from fulfilling our mission?
00:35:15No.
00:35:16My allegiance to the avenging angels comes first.
00:35:19Dave!
00:35:20Good.
00:35:21We'll swear your wife to secrecy.
00:35:23And then continue with our plans.
00:35:27I swear.
00:35:37Arise, the woman avenger!
00:35:40Better take her with us, men.
00:35:41Go on, you have your instructions.
00:35:44Dave, have you got a typewriter?
00:35:46Yes, it's a little old-fashioned, but it'll write.
00:35:48All right, bring it down here.
00:36:03Hey, Harry!
00:36:07Hiya, Dave.
00:36:07You're keeping pretty late hours, ain't you?
00:36:09Yeah, kind of.
00:36:10I just came from seeing about a job.
00:36:12Say, Harry, could you drop me off at the house on your way home?
00:36:16Well, sure, today.
00:36:16It's on my desk, and I'm going to take it up with the circulation manager
00:36:19the first thing in the morning.
00:36:21That's swell, Harry.
00:36:23Say, my car is just across the street in the parking lot.
00:36:33Come on, get in!
00:36:36Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his double-cross, Dave.
00:36:39Hey, mug, you heard me?
00:36:41Come on, get in!
00:37:36You swear to be relentless against our enemies?
00:37:38Same old sonic laws, huh?
00:37:40We need some help ourselves sometimes.
00:37:42And to show no mercy, but to strike with an avenging arm so long as breath remains,
00:37:48rather than destroy a brother?
00:37:49How to work so long has made him bitter.
00:37:51Down inside, though, he's 100%.
00:37:54Ought to be your fetal word of this, your sacred oath.
00:38:01Ah!
00:38:04Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his double-cross, Dave.
00:38:09Newsflash.
00:38:10Harry Warren, editor of the Middleton Telegram,
00:38:12was fired early this morning on the Kohlberg turnpike.
00:38:15He's been charged with murder.
00:38:16He's been charged with murder.
00:38:18He's been charged with murder.
00:38:19He's been charged with murder.
00:38:21He's been charged with murder.
00:38:22Kohlberg turnpike.
00:38:23Police, with John Bennett, owner of the paper,
00:38:25heard of the scene and receipt of an anonymous letter informing them of the crime.
00:38:29More to follow.
00:38:30Extra!
00:38:31Extra paper!
00:38:36Read all about it!
00:38:38Mr. Campbell, there's only one power-crazed individual alive
00:38:42who possesses the motive or the audacity to perpetrate such a heinous crime.
00:38:47Frank Sands?
00:38:48Yes.
00:38:49Warren backed my fight against Sands and was brutally beaten to death.
00:38:54I feel responsible for it.
00:38:56Speaking for the federal government,
00:38:59we are just as much interested in this case as you are, Mr. Sherman.
00:39:03Sands and his avenging menace to this nation.
00:39:05But we are powerless.
00:39:07Every mouth is closed with fear,
00:39:08and every court is virtually controlled by Sands' influence.
00:39:11Sherman, with my papers and the People's Party behind you,
00:39:15how would you like to run for governor against Adams?
00:39:21Don't you think I have enough to do now?
00:39:23I'm chairman of the People's Party, Bob,
00:39:25and I'm certain that your candidacy would meet with 100% approval.
00:39:29I'm afraid, Mr. Bennett, it would take more than the People's Party to break Sands' machine.
00:39:33It's a tender one-shot, but why not try it?
00:39:35As governor, you can't...
00:39:36You can't do it!
00:39:37You can't do it!
00:39:38You can't do it!
00:39:39You can't do it!
00:39:41You can introduce bills and appoint honest men to carry out your orders.
00:39:46This letter was written on a peculiar model of typewriter, Mr. Sherman.
00:39:49I'll have my men search the town first.
00:39:59What's this?
00:40:00It's an application blank for work from David Burtis.
00:40:07Looks like the same typewriter.
00:40:08It does, it does.
00:40:11Have this typewriting analyzed at once, Johnson, if it matches follow-through.
00:40:14I'll do that.
00:40:18Now, that may give us what we're looking for.
00:40:20Of all people to pick on, Frank, a newspaper editor.
00:40:23Every paper in the country is demanding an arrest and conviction.
00:40:26You lost your head.
00:40:27Now, I'm telling you...
00:40:28Never mind the lecture, Adams.
00:40:29I'm running this show.
00:40:31Tomorrow, those same papers will headline your candidacy for re-election.
00:40:34Why, you know the People's Party are nominating Sherman, don't you?
00:40:37So what?
00:40:38With the Avenging Angels force behind us, he hasn't got a chance.
00:40:41Anyway, I'll take care of him later on.
00:40:43Frank, are you crazy?
00:40:44Bob Sherman is going to marry Wynne.
00:40:47I'm sorry to disappoint you, Governor.
00:40:48I'm going to marry her myself.
00:40:50When I told you to stay away from Wynne, I meant it.
00:40:52Now, take it easy.
00:40:54Lieutenant Governor Wilson could fill your shoes without any trouble.
00:40:57Let him do it, then.
00:40:57I won't run for Governor again.
00:40:58I quit right now.
00:40:59I'm through.
00:41:03No one walks out on the Avenging Angels, Adams.
00:41:05You figured out the bylaws.
00:41:07You ought to know that.
00:41:10We're all in this thing up to our necks.
00:41:12We hang together, or we hang one at a time.
00:41:15Take your choice.
00:41:20I must see Mr. Sands.
00:41:21But Mr. Sands is busy, ma'am.
00:41:22But I must see him now.
00:41:23But...
00:41:26Mr. Sands!
00:41:28Why, Mrs. Burtis!
00:41:32Mr. Sands, they've arrested Dave.
00:41:35For the murder of Warren.
00:41:36Well, how do they suspect him?
00:41:38They traced the typewriter he used to write that note to the paper.
00:41:41Oh, you've got to save him.
00:41:42You've got to.
00:41:43Now, don't you worry, Mona.
00:41:45I'll do everything in my power.
00:41:47He didn't realize what he was doing.
00:41:49He was blind.
00:41:51I love him so much.
00:41:56I do understand, Mona.
00:41:58Now, you run downstairs and wait in my car.
00:42:01I'll make arrangements for Dave's release, and...
00:42:03Then I'll drive you home.
00:42:07I know you'll take care of it.
00:42:10There, there, there, there.
00:42:15Adams!
00:42:17Call Sherman on the phone and tell him to free Dave Burtis.
00:42:20Or I'll make a fool out of him in court.
00:42:22I don't think he'll do it.
00:42:23Well, call him and find out.
00:42:25And if he won't, I'll spring him at a preliminary hearing.
00:42:33Listen.
00:42:34I don't care what Sands might have ordered you to do, Governor Adams.
00:42:37You're wasting your breath talking to me.
00:42:39I'm not going to call off his hearing, and that's that.
00:42:42Burtis is guilty, and he's going to swing.
00:42:48I hope you succeed.
00:42:50But I have my doubts.
00:42:52So have I.
00:42:56Dave Burtis released.
00:42:57Lack of evidence frees war and murder suspects.
00:43:00Paper, mister?
00:43:02Lack of evidence frees war and murder suspects.
00:43:15You don't think I'm getting Dave out of this jam
00:43:16because he means anything to me, do you?
00:43:18I'm doing it for you, Mona.
00:43:19I'm crazy about you.
00:43:20Have been ever since that first night at Wynn Adams' home.
00:43:25And Dave set you up as an idea.
00:43:27Believed in you.
00:43:28Even to the point of double-crossing his best friend.
00:43:31You're the vileest creature I've ever known.
00:43:33You're as phony and as crooked as Bob Sherman claims.
00:43:36Why, I'd rather see Dave spend the rest of his life in jail
00:43:38than have anything more to do with you.
00:43:40That's the kind of spirit I like.
00:43:44Now, Mona, you wouldn't shoot that gun at me, would you?
00:43:47I mean, it'd be a...
00:44:30Mona!
00:44:31Where are you, baby?
00:44:40Mona!
00:44:42Mona, speak to me!
00:44:44Mona!
00:45:01Hello?
00:45:22Please, Wynn.
00:45:25I can't help it.
00:45:26There are hundreds of starving people
00:45:28waiting outside for your answer on the relief bill.
00:45:31And you're afraid to sign it.
00:45:33No, I promise.
00:45:35No matter what Sam's threats.
00:45:37I don't want promises.
00:45:39I want action.
00:45:41Proof.
00:45:41Well, Governor, why the hearts and flowers pose?
00:46:02Thinking over your past sins?
00:46:04That's just what I was doing.
00:46:06And they're far from consoling.
00:46:07Come on, come on, snap out of it.
00:46:09We've got to think of a way to disperse that mob outside.
00:46:11That mob wants the relief bill or my blood.
00:46:14Hank, I'm going out there and I agree to their demands.
00:46:17I owe it to them.
00:46:18Are you crazy?
00:46:20I can't help it.
00:46:21Adams, if you go out on that balcony,
00:46:24it'll be your last act as governor of this state.
00:46:27It's my duty.
00:46:29I've got to do it.
00:46:41Attention, friends.
00:46:51Attention, please.
00:46:53After hours of careful deliberation,
00:46:56I have reached a momentous decision.
00:47:06I have found your claims to be just.
00:47:12Well, you've got your orders.
00:47:15I can't.
00:47:17Remember your oath.
00:47:18Yes, my oath.
00:47:21I will sign the relief bill.
00:47:34Come on, come and get me out of here, come on.
00:47:41Get me out of here, get me out of here.
00:48:11Hello, Wynne.
00:48:13I... I don't know how to begin.
00:48:17Don't begin.
00:48:20I think I know.
00:48:21I was a stubborn, spoiled, fascinated fool, Bob, and you were right.
00:48:27Oh, Bob.
00:48:31Pardon me.
00:48:32I have a letter here from the president.
00:48:34Stressing the menace that is stuckening our entire nation,
00:48:38he feels that the death of Governor Adams is only one of the many indications
00:48:41pointing toward an unscrupulous dictatorship.
00:48:45And he also commends you for your untiring efforts in checking this.
00:48:49The president honors me, Mr. Campbell.
00:48:51No, no more than you deserve.
00:48:54The president says our only salvation rests with those loyal citizens who love us.
00:49:00Our only salvation rests with those loyal citizens who love the liberty
00:49:04for which our forefathers died.
00:49:06They will not stand idly by while these sinister forces strangle the nation.
00:49:10He also has ordered me to render you every possible aid,
00:49:13but I am sorry that a menacing mob was responsible for the killing of Governor Adams' assassin.
00:49:19His capture might have led to the real murder.
00:49:21Frank Sands knew that.
00:49:23He wanted that mob to kill Burtis because he was afraid to let him stand trial.
00:49:27Yes, that's true.
00:49:28That man seems to anticipate every movement of the law.
00:49:31Mr. Campbell, the law can't cope with an organization
00:49:34made up of nearly all our city and state officials
00:49:37directed by a man who knows how to cash in on mob hysteria.
00:49:41We have known for some time we had to break it up on the inside without the law.
00:49:46With someone who could show that mob how they were being duped.
00:49:50Frank Sands loves power, but he has one weakness.
00:49:55Yes, I'm way ahead of you there, but he's one jump ahead of me.
00:49:58Two of my best women operators have proven that.
00:50:04He's still interested in me.
00:50:07Oh, no, no, Nguyen.
00:50:08That's out.
00:50:08The risk is too great.
00:50:09No risk is too great.
00:50:13I have an idea that might help.
00:50:17Listen, I've got it all figured out this way.
00:50:20We'll take Sands, you see.
00:50:22Men of the state, you have patriotically responded to my call.
00:50:26This is a job for women, too, to maintain our high standard of morality
00:50:32and preserve the sanctity of the home.
00:50:38To assist our men in their fight to keep the home 100 percent American.
00:50:49To educate American youth to demand the rights of their natural heritage.
00:50:54Please, ladies, please, please.
00:50:57I selected you because each of you is a leader.
00:51:00Now, go out and organize the women of your communities.
00:51:05And out of last night's meeting, we initiated 163 new members.
00:51:25Great.
00:51:25I knew you could do it.
00:51:27Not without your brilliant help, Frank.
00:51:28Ah, but you have what it takes to put it across.
00:51:31With you swinging the women's vote, our power will be unchallenged.
00:51:34You realize what that means to us?
00:51:36To us?
00:51:37To you and me.
00:51:39I'll spread avenging angel chapters through every other state in the Union.
00:51:42With that power behind me, Washington is only a short step.
00:51:45And where do I come in?
00:51:51To the first lady of the land.
00:52:01Mr. Franklin is here, sir.
00:52:03And the other officers of the Lodge are on their way.
00:52:07Show Mr. Franklin and Hobbs.
00:52:09And knock before you enter.
00:52:12Very well, sir.
00:52:16Glad to see you, Tommy.
00:52:17Miss Adams, you know Tommy Franklin, leader of our youth division?
00:52:20I've heard a lot about your splendid leadership, Tommy.
00:52:23Less mutual, Miss Adams.
00:52:24I just dropped in to tell you, Mr. Stanz,
00:52:26that I installed a youth division in Morrow County last night.
00:52:29Great work, my boy.
00:52:30Someday you'll be at the helm of the organization.
00:52:32Avenging angels need men of your caliber, Tommy.
00:52:35Well, thanks, Miss Adams.
00:52:36I'd do anything for our cause.
00:52:39Well, I didn't mean to come here and interrupt a private conference.
00:52:44I guess I'd better run along.
00:52:48Goodbye.
00:52:48Goodbye.
00:52:49Come again, Tommy.
00:52:50You're always welcome.
00:52:56He was a great kid, Tommy.
00:52:57Hope he doesn't get too ambitious.
00:53:00He did interrupt us.
00:53:01Where were we?
00:53:02We were having a little drink.
00:53:04That's right.
00:53:05You just made me the first lady of the land.
00:53:07Swept me up the steps of the White House
00:53:09without even mentioning our wedding.
00:53:12Is that the way to treat a first lady?
00:53:28Oh, I'm drenched to the skin.
00:53:30I would.
00:53:33Come right in, gentlemen.
00:53:35What'll I do?
00:53:36Is there another way out?
00:53:37You're not leaving yet.
00:53:38Wait in the bedroom.
00:53:39They won't stay long.
00:53:44Hello.
00:53:48Come on in, gentlemen.
00:53:49Make yourselves at home.
00:53:54Governor Wilson must be reelected.
00:53:56Spare no expense.
00:53:57Buy out the press and radio stations, if necessary.
00:54:01Money plus organization is the secret
00:54:03of all political success.
00:54:20Oh, I'm sorry, Frank.
00:54:24I heard the radio.
00:54:26I heard the radio.
00:54:27I thought they'd gone.
00:54:33Miss Adams came here on business, gentlemen.
00:54:35I, uh, she put some coffee on her dress.
00:54:38Well, I must be getting along.
00:54:40Sorry to leave you.
00:54:42Yes, I, uh, I have an appointment.
00:54:45I wouldn't have thought that of her.
00:54:48That burns my potato.
00:54:50Goodbye, gentlemen.
00:54:51I must be going.
00:54:52Goodbye, gentlemen.
00:54:56Oh, boy, that's a lie.
00:55:22And there stood the future governor, awaiting.
00:55:25A woman in the scarlet robe.
00:55:27How did you know, Bob?
00:55:28How did I know?
00:55:30The whole town knows.
00:55:31Everyone's talking about you and Sands.
00:55:33Already?
00:55:35Oh, that's great.
00:55:38Are you out of your mind, Wynne?
00:55:40You'll never live it down.
00:55:42I won't allow you to.
00:55:43Don't say it, Bob.
00:55:44But this whispering campaign.
00:55:48It's only a start.
00:55:49I can't stop until that whispering becomes a roar.
00:55:52And destroys both the avenging angels and yourself, I suppose.
00:56:04I can't stand by and see your name dragged through the mud.
00:56:08Now, Wynne, you're young.
00:56:09You've got your whole life.
00:56:10Bob, I love you, Bob.
00:56:14And if you love me, you'll see this game through.
00:56:17You'll even denounce me publicly when the proper time comes.
00:56:20You promise?
00:56:21Our personal affairs are so insignificant beside the service we can render.
00:56:31I'm sorry.
00:56:33It looks as if I'm the weak one.
00:56:36Guess I can't take it.
00:56:47Oh, excuse me.
00:56:49Well, hello, Tommy.
00:56:51Miss Adams, everywhere I go, I hear malicious talk about you and Mr. Sands.
00:56:56I couldn't believe it.
00:56:57So I came here to get your side of the story.
00:57:01Please tell me it's all lies.
00:57:10But it can't be.
00:57:15And I set you both up as ideals of everything that I thought was...
00:57:21fine and clean.
00:57:27Saps!
00:57:27That's what we've been?
00:57:29Believing the high-sounding lies that you and Sands dish out?
00:57:33If that's what the avenging angels stand for, the order's all wrong.
00:57:38There needs to be some radical changes made, and I'm going to make them.
00:57:44I've called you leaders of the youth division here to let you know
00:57:47just what our organization has been standing for.
00:57:50I personally confronted Whit Adams about the gossip that's being circulated,
00:57:54and it isn't just gossip.
00:57:55It's the truth!
00:57:59Sherman accuses Sands of inciting strikes and engineering murders
00:58:03for his own political gains.
00:58:05I believe him.
00:58:06It's all true!
00:58:07We've had the wool pulled over our eyes good and plenty,
00:58:10and instead of building up something we thought was clean and fine,
00:58:13we've been helping Sands and his dirty, crooked schemes!
00:58:17He can't get away with that!
00:58:20What are we going to do about it?
00:58:25All right, that's the way to talk, fellas.
00:58:26We'll show them we're 100% American,
00:58:28and the only American thing to do is to help Sherman stop the strike!
00:58:50Well, sir, boys and girls, that should get the votes, eh?
00:58:53I'm glad.
00:58:55How about your new auto tax bill?
00:58:58That's all right, I'll pay that.
00:58:59He pays all his bills.
00:59:00Oh, yeah.
00:59:01Are Tommy Franklin and his youth division completely off the avenging angels?
00:59:04What about the women's vote?
00:59:05Well, now, I'm sorry, but that is something that would have to be discussed
00:59:08at a meeting tomorrow morning of the faculty leaders.
00:59:12As a matter of fact, I might say the party leaders,
00:59:14who are going to be the ones to decide whether or not
00:59:17As a matter of fact, I might say the party leaders,
00:59:19at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, at the home of Miss Adams.
00:59:22Oh, Miss Adams!
00:59:24Yes, here with Governor Wilson.
00:59:25Come on over, Governor.
00:59:26Yes, right here.
00:59:27All right, now, uh, hold it, Wilson.
00:59:30Take your hat away from Miss Adams' face.
00:59:32There's four of you in that picture.
00:59:36Stand still, Governor.
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:39Now, Miss Adams, will you give us a statement?
00:59:41What's all this gossip about you and Mr. Sands?
00:59:43Is it all between you and Bob Sherman?
00:59:45I can only reiterate what Governor Wilson has told you
00:59:48about the meeting at my house in the morning.
00:59:51I'm, uh, sure there'll be some startling news at that time.
00:59:57Yes, of course.
00:59:58Now, ladies and gentlemen, I guess that's all.
01:00:00Except before you go, I want to tell you that if I am elected governor,
01:00:03I will make one of the best governors that, uh, uh...
01:00:06Money can buy.
01:00:10Well, I guess the press conference is at an end.
01:00:12Now, ladies and gentlemen,
01:00:13if you will go into the other room,
01:00:15you'll find refreshments in the office of the, uh, uh, liquor control board.
01:00:22That's an idea.
01:00:23Might be like some grapes, too.
01:00:25Well, that's funny.
01:00:25You don't look like them.
01:00:27Well, of course, I don't mean to compare myself to Lincoln or any of them fellows,
01:00:30but I really believe that during my next four years as governor of this state...
01:00:33All right, Governor.
01:00:34Scram.
01:00:36Oh, scram.
01:00:38Scram, yes.
01:00:40Don't pay any attention to all this silly scandal, Wynn.
01:00:43It'll soon blow over.
01:00:44I don't mind.
01:00:45I rather like my name linked with yours.
01:00:48Do you really mean that?
01:00:49You still don't seem to realize how captivated I am.
01:00:54Now that I... I've confessed, I know you're going to neglect me.
01:00:58Only until after the election is over, honey.
01:01:00I'd like to be with you tonight,
01:01:02but I've got to work on some important campaign plans for tomorrow.
01:01:05There you go.
01:01:06Making excuses already.
01:01:07No, no, no.
01:01:09Can't you put them off?
01:01:11Take me to dinner.
01:01:12I'll help you later.
01:01:17It's a date.
01:02:13I thought I had some work to do.
01:02:15Oh, forget it.
01:02:17Let's go over to my place and we'll have a cup of tea.
01:02:20You know, you're in a better spot than I thought you were.
01:02:22Yeah, I am.
01:02:24Come on, let's go.
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:37I bet you I can hit him.
01:02:38I bet you can.
01:02:39Oh, I bet I can.
01:02:39Go on, go on, go on.
01:02:40All right, all right.
01:02:41Go on, go on, go on.
01:02:42Here I go.
01:02:42Here I go.
01:02:43Here I go.
01:02:44Never!
01:02:47You try.
01:02:47I bet you don't do any better.
01:02:49Go on.
01:02:49You watch me.
01:02:50Now watch.
01:02:51All right, all right.
01:02:52Go on.
01:02:54Missed again.
01:02:55You missed again.
01:02:56You need another one.
01:02:57Yeah, give me another drink.
01:02:58All right, you try it again.
01:03:01No, no, wait a minute.
01:03:01Wait a minute.
01:03:02No, I've got an idea.
01:03:03Wait a minute.
01:03:04Wait a minute.
01:03:05You all right?
01:03:12No way.
01:03:12You wait.
01:03:13I'll get him.
01:03:13You really?
01:03:14Yeah.
01:03:16Bullseye!
01:03:26No.
01:03:27No, what you need, what you need is another little drink.
01:03:30Yeah, yeah.
01:03:30Give me another drink.
01:03:31Give me another drink.
01:03:32Mm-hmm.
01:03:34Yeah, yeah.
01:03:35This stuff will do you some good.
01:03:37Anything you give me, honey, will do me good.
01:03:41Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.
01:04:11You've got to hide me.
01:04:39They can't find us here like this.
01:04:41You framed me.
01:04:51You framed me.
01:04:56Girl, you get your ass up here.
01:05:01You thought you could fool me, eh?
01:05:03Well, I'll show you.
01:05:06Hey, boy, it's Sam.
01:05:07There's a shot.
01:05:07Sam.
01:05:11Oh, my God.
01:05:12Hey, get over here.
01:05:14Get over here.
01:05:16Get over.
01:05:22Come on, listen to me.
01:05:24Come on, let me out.
01:05:26Sam!
01:05:28Sam!
01:05:30Give me a break.
01:05:32Please, please, please leave me alone.
01:05:34Go, come on.
01:05:36Sam, Sam, I'm sorry.
01:05:38I can't stand this.
01:05:40Oh, you can't, huh?
01:05:43Why, darling.
01:05:45What do you want me to do?
01:05:47Forget it.
01:05:49Wynne Adams.
01:05:51Fine lady.
01:05:53Angel of purity.
01:05:55Ideal of American womanhood.
01:05:58Huh.
01:05:59What a bunch of saps those poor misguided fools were to believe in you.
01:06:04There you have a perfect example of what your avenging angels really stand for.
01:06:10Boy, what a story.
01:06:34Oh, dear.
01:06:35Oh, dear.
01:06:37Oh, dear.
01:06:38Oh, dear.
01:06:39Oh, dear.
01:06:40Oh, dear.
01:06:41Oh, dear.
01:06:42Oh, dear.
01:06:43Oh, dear.
01:06:44Oh, dear.
01:06:45Oh, dear.
01:06:46Oh, dear.
01:06:47Oh, dear.
01:06:48Oh, dear.
01:06:49Oh, dear.
01:06:50Oh, dear.
01:06:51Oh, dear.
01:06:52Oh, dear.
01:06:53Oh, dear.
01:06:54Oh, dear.
01:06:55Oh, dear.
01:06:56Oh, dear.
01:06:57Oh, dear.
01:06:58Oh, dear.
01:06:59Oh, dear.
01:07:00Oh, dear.
01:07:01Oh, dear.
01:07:02Oh, dear.
01:07:03Oh, dear.
01:07:04Oh, dear.
01:07:05Oh, dear.
01:07:06Oh, dear.
01:07:07Oh, dear.
01:07:08Oh, dear.
01:07:09Oh, dear.
01:07:10Oh, dear.
01:07:11Oh, dear.
01:07:12Oh, dear.
01:07:13Oh, dear.
01:07:14Oh, dear.
01:07:15Why, Ephiges.
01:07:16Might as well be you.
01:07:21Win.
01:07:25Marry me, tomorrow.
01:07:28No.
01:07:29Not tomorrow.
01:07:31But when I can't stand to see you going through this ordeal alone, nothing is worthwhile without
01:07:41you.
01:07:42All the pitiful victims of Frank Sam's insane ambitions are worthwhile, Bob.
01:07:49Your first duty is to them, and to the state, and to your country.
01:07:53Our being together is impossible, Mads.
01:07:58They've got to believe in you.
01:08:01Pointing their fingers at me, until the last spark of the avenging angels is dead.
01:08:12The flames are dying, Wynne.
01:08:28Our marriage would only add more fuel.
01:08:31They must never know that I did it deliberately, or that you helped.
01:08:36Bob, you're going to be governor.
01:08:39You can't back down now.
01:08:42Sometimes, someplace, we can be together again, where no one will ever know.
01:09:12Governor, their enthusiasm touched me.
01:09:34Your election should drive home more clearly to the people of the nations that theirs is
01:09:38a priceless heritage of freedom, democracy, and racial and religious tolerance.
01:09:43It's an honor for me to ride with you in your inaugural parade.
01:09:47Thank you, Mr. President.
01:09:49But the one who deserves the greatest honor should be riding here with us today.
01:09:53Yes, I know.
01:09:55The nation owes her a tremendous debt of gratitude, which it can never publicly repay.
01:10:25Stop, driver.
