Mrs. Laughingwell.

You know, I learned that new

aria. You want to hear it?

Thank you.

You do?

Oh, thank you so much.!

Oh, good-bye,

good-bye.

Hello! Give me Alexander 2222, please.

Please give it to me. It's only over

here on the other side of the street.

The line is busy.

Number, please.

Alexander 2222!

- I can't hear you.

Alexander 2222!

Louder, please. If I talk any

louder, I won't have to call them!

- They'll hear me!

- I'm sorry, sir, but you are all wet.

Who's all wet?

I'm all wet?

Hold the line!

Hold the line!

I'm all wet, huh?

Come on, come on. We gotta

get across the street.

Hurry up.

Hey, Chick! We gotta get in

that building across the street.

Those cops, why are they hanging

around? Why don't they let me alone?

I won $10,000.

Why won't they let me in?

Now what are we gonna do?

I never did nothing, did I?

I got an idea.

What?

Remember how we used to sneak

into basketball games? Hey.

If those guys get out of the

building, I'll break every one of you.

Leave it to me and the boys,

Loot. Take your positions, men.

Only one minute left. Are

you hurrying, Mervyn Milgrim?

Where are you guys

going? We're walking out.

Whoo!

Next car.

Oh, excuse me.

Come on!

Five seconds to go.

Four seconds.

Three, two...

Hey.!

Whoo-hoo!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, Mike. I didn't

mean it. Mr. Milgrim?

Yeah. You have some

means of identification?

Oh, sure. Tell him who I am. Oh, he's him.

I'm him. How do you spell Milgrim?

That's a hard one, huh? Give

me an easy one. Never mind.

Make it Mervyn. How do you spell Mervyn?

Never mind. I'll take the two-dollar

question and let it go at that.

Wait a minute. Look around your

clothes. You must have a card someplace.

Cards? Sure. Oh, to tell

who I am? That's right.

Any means of identification.

Don't say nothing, though.

I belong to the Campfire

Girls, Troop number 34.

Here's my card. That'll

do. That's proof enough.

Okay. Here's our check

for $10,000, Mr. Milgrim.

Come on, stop.

We're the police.

Please accept this beautiful

play-it-anywhere radio...

so you'll never miss our

broadcast. This is for me?

Oh, boy! What a beautiful

radio... and it's for me! Mine.

Wait a minute. We're

partners, you know. Oh, yeah.

We've been partners a

long time. That's right,

and we always split 50-50. He's right.

We always split everything 50-50. Come on.

Yeah. Well, here.

You take the check. I'll keep

the radio. Beautiful, too.

What's the fella's name

on third base?

But What's on second.

Who's on second?

Who's on first.

I don't know.

He's on third.

There I go, back... Oh,

no, no. Oh, no, no, no.

Every time you hear

those two guys...

"Who's on first,

What's on second... "

And that little fat guy, he kills

me. No good. Come on, let's go.

Well! Looks like

we all hit the jackpot.

- Does it play in jail?

- Anywhere.

Anywhere. Yes, and that's

where you're gonna play it.

Wait a minute, copper. Will you just

let me say one word over the radio?

All right, go ahead.

Thank you.

Help.!

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Yes, at 12:
00, and everyone's to be there.

Yes, everyone.

Well, it's all set, Jimmy. Great.

Oh, but suppose it doesn't

work? Now, don't you worry.

That's all very pretty but we got

a date downtown, if you don't mind.

Looks like they're going to have to

make a bench out of the electric chair.

But we figured out a way for

you to catch the real criminal.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Now, here's the

idea. At exactly midnight tonight,

everybody that might possibly

be guilty will be in Studio "C."

We put on the air this broadcast that

we've written, and before it's over...

You've got him. You've been reading

too many of your own radio scripts.

What can you lose? It might

break the whole case for you.

Yeah, and it might break me

too. Sounds like phony baloney.

That's putting it mild. Come

on, folks. You come with me.

All right, all right.

Brannigan, you take the blimp.

Come on, blimp.

Get your hands off me.

I'll-I'll give you

a smash, I will.

Don't call me blimp.

Oh? Why not?

What makes a blimp go up? Hot air.

What's holding you down?

Come on!

Get-Get... Get out of here. Excuse me.

You are standing in the spot

in which I desire to trespass.

Oh.

Thank you.

Hey!

Hey, usher, what time's the next

feature go on? Aw, you, come on.

I've had enough

trouble with you.

I'm gonna put the cuffs on you. Cuffs?

Yeah, handcuffs. What do you do with them?

Go around the wrist,

like that.

You're gonna put one on that

wrist over here? Certainly.

I've got this hand free

if you do that, don't I?

I could hit you with this

hand. That's not good.

What, do you think I'm a dope? I

put them on both hands, like that.

Oh, you put them on both wrists? Certainly.

Over here?

Right around tight.

If you did that to me, you know

what I'd do? I'd say, "Hey, boy.

Pick up something for me. " As soon

as you bend down to pick up something,

I'd hit you on the head, and that

would hurt you, because that's iron.

Aw, I'm not a dope. I put them behind

your back, like that... that, see?

Oh, like this?

Tight.

Oh, wait. I'll lock that, see, and then

I want you to show me what you mean.

All right, go ahead,

lock it tight, see?

Now that's... Now what

happens? Can't do a thing.

You can't?

Not a thing.

You mean your hands are like

this, and you can't get out?

Positive. Can't do a thing. Yeah?

Yeah. Then that's a tough

way to get anybody, isn't it?

Yeah. All right, now take

the key out of my pocket.

Huh?

The side pocket over here.

You got a key in here?

Key, yeah. Unlock the cuffs.

Can't you get it? How can I get it

with my hands handcuffed behind my back?

Get the key! You mean can't

take your hand and get it?

Certainly not.

Well, come on, what are you...

Come on, get the key.

That's it. Key.

That's the key, all right.

That's the key. Get it out.

You can't get out unless you get

the key? What are you waiting for?

Get the...

Shut up!

I had enough of this

trouble with you, brother.

What do you think you are,

smart guy or something?

Look...

Don't talk to me.

If I do that long enough,

that'll drive you crazy, brother.

That's what they call

French Prosecution.

That stuff

like that there.

I've had enough

of you, brother.

Told you I could

lick you, didn't I?

What do you got, help?

Who's here?

Don't you pull

no knife on me, brother.

Come on, wise guy, where's

your gun? Give me that gun.

Hand me that gun and keep your hands there.

You're talking

to Black Mervyn.

That's me...

Black Horse Mervyn.

Watch me hit

that statue.

What's the matter

with you?

Get your hands down!

The gun.!

Get your hands down.! The gun, the

other way! No, the gun the other way!

Get them down. Come on, come on, come on.

Get out of here. You too. I'm with you.

Oh, you're on my side. Get

out! Come on, all of youse!

Come here, you. Put it

down there. Take care ofhim.

You watch the feature.

See how you like it.
