This Gun for Hire Page #6

Synopsis: Hit man Philip Raven, who's kind to children and cats, kills a blackmailer and is paid off by traitor Willard Gates in "hot" money. Meanwhile, pert entertainer Ellen Graham, girlfriend of police Lieut. Crane (who's after Raven) is enlisted by a Senate committee to help investigate Gates. Raven, seeking Gates for revenge, meets Ellen on the train; their relationship gradually evolves from that of killer and potential victim to an uneasy alliance against a common enemy.

H-How much do you want,

Raven? I'm a rich man.

Take that pen

while you still got a chance.

Oh, h-h-how foolish

young men are.

All right, you're next.

Oh, yes, yes, I'll sign.

Look out!

Dead. His heart.

One final double-cross.

Believe me,

it was Brewster!

There's something else. You

tried to kill that girl. No. No!

That girl's my friend. She's not

your friend. She told the police.

- Shut up! - They called

me up! - You're lying!

Why are they here?

She told them! She...

So this was it.

You didn't tell the cops,

did ya?

Did I do all right for you?

Oh, Michael, my darling, hold me.
