car and mine were cut the same way.

We're up against killers.

Why not grab them now

and get it over with?

Not yet... we want to get the head man.

Relax. It's just a social call.

I've been trying to get you on the phone.

Why don't you tell me where you live?

What's on your mind? Bad news.

About what?

Mrs Royce called to

cancel another date.

Something is wrong.

Did you talk with her?

No. May just left a message.

Get her on the phone.

Oh no, Princess Liane...

you've been most helpful.

But the most amazing

thing has happened.

I have a letter.

A real letter from Phillip.

How wonderful for

you... tell me about it.

"Madame Bradshaw"... Oh yes,

I'd very much like to meet her.

Where does she live?

... 1209 Sunnydale.

Madame Bradshaw?

Yes, but I receive visitors

by appointment only.

It's very important

that I talk with you.

Very well.

Drake!

Please be seated.

What is your problem?

Are you sure that no-one

else will hear what I say?

We are alone in the house.

Well, we can talk business.

I don't understand.

I'm telling you. Lay off of Mrs Royce.

But Mrs Royce is a client...

A client of the Rama Society.

You'll send her back to us fast

if you know what's good for you.

What happened to you?

Bradshaw's muscle-men worked me over.

She says she's hanging on to Mrs Royce.

Oh you ..

Who is that? It's

that Bunco cop, Johnson.

Drake, you keep him

here as long as you can.

You have a little accident?

A personal matter.

Is there something I can do for you?

Yeah... I'd like to

have a talk with you.

What do you want to talk about?

Why Sergeant, how nice to see you.

Where's your friend Reed?

Well I haven't ..

Would you like a cup of tea?

"I have so much. It would

have been Phillip's."

"I could use it to bring

others here, as he wishes."

Look at this.

It's a Police set up.

[ telephone rings ]

Hello? Oh Steve.

Everything alright?

Yeah, where are you?

The Rama Society. Oh I

get it. You followed Drake.

Did you find anything? -I'll tell

you later. Leave it right now.

Don't worry honey,

Steve will be here soon.

You're early Mrs Royce.

I know, I have so much to talk

about today. I hope you don't mind.

Of course not.

I must discuss something

very important with Phillip.

It's about my will. Your will?

Yes. You see Mr Bowman

gave me Phillip's letter.

And it was full of plans

for the future he never saw.

I want to make those plans come true.

But I've already made my will

leaving my estate to the Rama Society.

Spirits of the outer world ..

We seek... your... guidance.

Appear... and... speak.

Appear spirits... give us your counsel.

The spirits hesitate to appear.

They sense danger.

Danger to you because of your will.

But I made it to please Phillip.

And it's going to stay that way.

She's never change that will.

Give me your gun.

The... voices say... that

you must change your will.

Do you think Phillip will understand?

He understands.

It is his wish that you change ..

Oh! Mr Wells!

Stand up and turn around.

What about the two downstairs?

They didn't see us come in.

They don't know who we are?

They saw Drake.

He has the best alibi in the world. He

was miles away being watched by a cop.

Wells and Reed did

it. They got Mrs Royce.

Johnson. Bunco Squad.

Yes sir.

Looks like a case for the Coroner.

You take over from here, will you.

Right.

Hey Bill, call the Coroner.

And you'd better get a

tow-truck down here too.

"All suspects of the Rama Society

have been taken into custody."

"Sergeant Johnson,

return to headquarters."

I now pronounce you... man and wife.

Cut... okay... print it.

Very good. Thank you.

How was I? Like me?

You were terrific.

Wonderful, as a matter of

fact, you were so convincing ..

Do you think you can borrow

the dress for a few days?

Why Mr Johnson!

Mr Johnson? You mean

"Lieutenant" Johnson.

He's my press agent.

How wonderful!

Cut! .... Okay?

[ laughter ]
