Who Done It? Page #4

---

It did happen, didn't it?

Never mind.

Okay, okay.

Pull no knives on me, brother. Come on!

Come on. Get down, get down. Okay. Down.

What are you guys

trying to get away with?

We're going to solve this murder.

Can I speak to you privately?

Is this something to do

with the murder? Yeah.

What is it? Go ahead. Talk. I

saw everything that happened,

and well, I ain't a stool pigeon, but...

for half a buck

I'll squeal.

You'll squeal for half a buck? Yeah.

Okay. Here's your half a buck. Now, squeal.

Well, never mind

that kid.

We've got to find out who

murdered Colonel Andrews.

Maybe he was murdered by some of

his enemies. He had no enemies.

Then he was murdered by some of

his friends. He had no friends!

Then he was murdered by strangers.

He must have had strangers.

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

What are you doing?

Come here. Come here.

What's the matter?

What happened?

A fine time for a murder. I was gonna stay

home tonight, win the Wheel of Fortune prize.

Where's Studio "C," miss? Right there, sir.

Thank you.

Hey, Inspector!

Run along, son.

You want to know something?

There's a couple of soda jerks

around here playin' detective.

Don't you know it's against the

law to impersonate an officer?

Then how do you get away

with it? Get outta here...

I'm worried about

this whole murder, Chick.

When we questioned all

those people in there? Yeah?

There was one missing: Juliet.

We've got to investigate her.

Oh, notJuliet. I-I got...

I got to make love to her.

Don't tell me you fell for

her. I think I did. Mm-hmm.

You better take a drink. Brace

yourself up. I think that's what I need.

I'm gonna get one, too.

Hey!

What's the matter?

What are you stepping on it so

hard for? That was fast, huh?

Certainly. Just take it easy.

Don't try to break the...

Take it easy?

Take it easy.

See, there you are. Simple? I'm a big dope.

Certainly you are.

Go ahead.

No, no. You've got to keep

your foot on the pedal.

Keep your foot on it.

That's it. Now, take a drink.

Come here. Get over here.

Let me show you what to do.

Now, look. Get over

here. Now, there you are.

Now, go ahead,

take a drink. Go...

What's the matter? Go

ahead. Put it on once more.

Come on, now. Shh! Make

out I don't want to drink.

All right,

you don't want to drink.

Come on.

Not down there, up here.

Shh! Go ahead. Come on.

There it is, up here!

Go ahead!

Atta boy.

Take what you want of it.

Go ahea...

Look, come here.

Put your foot on it.

Go ahead, put your foot

on it. Give me a drink.

What are you

doing it to me for?

Well, gee, you wanted to... Take it easy!

What are you sweatin' about? We been standing

right here. Haven't been doing no running.

You're perspiring all over

the joint. Get out of the way.

Come on. Get your head down there.

You will do it to me, will ya?

Ah-ah-ah!

I don't want no more drinks.

Come on.

Come here.

Now, sit down there. And

behave yourself. Don't push me.

Can't help it if you got it. I'm

gonna look for thatJuliet dame.

You're all innocent, huh?

That wire just naturally

attached itself.

Looks like we're gonna have to grill 'em

one at a time. Now, listen, Brannigan...

Perhaps I can help you.

Go ahead, miss.

Well, for the past few days Colonel

Andrews has been very upset about something.

He was late to the broadcast tonight

because of some serious government business.

Mm-hmm. Only yesterday, he talked

to the F.B.I. in Washington,

over his private wire.

F.B.I., huh? You sound like

one of my scripts, Miss Little.

The F.B.I. had nothing to do with

this. This was a murder for jealousy.

Jealousy?

Who's jealous of who, pal?

Well, let's suppose a young

college professor comes to town,

and finds the girl he loves

has made good on her job.

With the help

of a very influential friend.

- Let's suppose that.

- And let's suppose I knock your ears off at the neck.

Take it easy, buddy. If there's any

slugging to be done around here, I'll do it.

While you're on the subject, why don't

you ask him who wrote tonight's play.

"The Steel Chair

Murder Case. "

Yes. It features exactly the same

device by which the Colonel was murdered.

You wouldn't...

You wouldn't keep a secret

from me, would you, pal?

Certainly not. How come the Colonel

was bumped off just as in the script?

How would I know? Maybe I'm such a

good writer, I gave someone an idea.

That script has been kicking

around for a month. Inspector.

Yes?

Do you mind?

Oh!

Well? I think you should know this.

Only today, I heard him

threatening Colonel Andrews.

Don't try to pin this

on me, Doctor.

I seem to recall

you examined the Colonel,

and you blamed his death

on a weak heart.

That's right.

I heard him say that.

How about it, Doc? I have

been his physician for years.

- He had a weak heart.

- Let's lock 'em both up, Loot.

I'm not locking anybody up until I check

up on those two guys pretending to be cops.

No, you don't. I just

want to make a phone call.

I've been looking

all over for you.

You've got a lot

of explaining to do.

Moran said we'd find a body on

this floor, Coroner. We'll find it.

Well...

We didn't have far to look.

Looks like

he's been dead for weeks.

Dump him

in the basket, boys.

Wait a minute.

I'm not the guy. I'm not the

guy! I'm full of life, look!

Chick! Two guys want to pick

me up and put me in a basket.

And they thought I was

dead. Oh, boy! Hello, kid.

You can't trust nobody

around here. Can't trust no...

"Hello, kid. " Juliet,

what are you doing here?

Never mind that.

I want to question her.

Yes, we got to investigate you. We're

from headquarters. Just a minute.

This morning you were soda jerks

trying to write a radio script.

Oh, that was only a disguise.

That was a special case. Sure.

We solved that case, and the chief

gave us this murder for a bonus.

Search her. Search her! Huh?

Chick, you can't search

Juliet. Do as I tell ya.

- Juliet never did nothing wrong.

- Search her!

Give me the purse.

Give me somethin'.

I mean, after all,

you're tangling with the law.

I can't help it

if you are.

I'm gonna tell you one thing, Chick,

as true as I'm talking right now,

Juliet is too nice a girl

to commit a murder.

Mm-hmm.

What did you find?

Cookbook.

What do you mean?

Tells 57 ways

to cook a guy's goose.

Let me see that. Let me

see that. Give me this.

Well, studying how

to commit a murder, eh?

Sure, figuring out how people

get murdered is a hobby of mine.

You see, Chick,

it's only a hobby with her.

A hobby?

Now you let her get away. No, I don't

thinkJuliet would ever do a thing like this.

Well, we've got to get the

culprit. Never mind the culprit.

Let's get the murderer. The culprit

and the murderer are the same thing.

You mean, there's two of'em?

Yeah... Uh, no! Certainly not.

What's the matter now?

What's that?

- That's your shadow.

- That's my shadow?

Mm-hmm.

If that's my shadow, why ain't it

doin' the same things I'm doing?
