I'll be back as soon as I can.

Hey, Martin. Prowl car down at the end

just got word for you to call in.

Johnson hasn't passed me yet.

I haven't got time to talk to him now.

That's McDonald and Murray's case.

But he says he has some information

you wanted. Hold on.

Hello, Inspector.

Remember you asked me

to check all of Suzie's things,

to see if anything was missing?

Sammy, I'm busy. I'll see you tomorrow.

I just wanted to tell you

that nothing was missing,

except that sketch that Frank

drew on the back of a menu.

- Sketch of who?

- 'I don't know.'

But Suzie said it looked

like that newspaperman

that was in the club this afternoon

with Mrs. Johnson.

'That good notice he was going to give

us won't do Suzie any good now.'

What happened? Where's Frank?

He's on his way to meet you,

but Ferris is here with the dog.

Oh. I thought that stiff in the morgue

was a plant.

He's a pretty sharp fellow.

Let's get off the midway.

Come on.

They'll never look for us in here.

But these things make me sick.

Stay in your seats, folks.

The second ride is half fare.

I'll never ride this thing again.

Let's go, baby.

All right, Eddie. Take it away.

Don't stand up in your seats, folks.

This is the greatest thrill

of your lifetime.

Ride only takes a couple of minutes.

Besides, when we get to the top,

we can see if Frank's there.

He must be there by now.

I don't see him.

- Where is he?

- I don't know!

Yee-ha!

Hey, buddy,

where do you think you're going?

The second ride is only half fare.

- Want to go again, baby?

- I wouldn't go again for the admiral.

You stay on for another ride.

I'll go see what's happened to Frank.

I want to go with you.

No, with Ferris outside,

together we'd be too conspicuous.

- But, Danny...

- Ferris traced you here.

If he found you,

someone else could follow you too.

- Second ride half fare.

- Lady will go again.

OK, Eddie, take it away.

Don't forget.

Somebody shot at him last night.

They tried to kill him once,

they'll do it again.

'Don't forget.

Somebody shot at him last night.

'They tried to kill him once,

they'll do it again.'

'Nobody knows that except your husband,

the killer, and now you.

'Nobody knows that except your husband,

the killer, and now you.'

Frank! Frank, go away!

Frank! Frank, go away!

Oh, Frank!

Frank, please go away!

Frank! Frank! Frank!

Frank!

Frank! Frank, go away!

Frank. Frank Johnson.

Yeah. That you, Mr. Legget?

Be careful.

There's a loose plank over here.

I know.

Why don't you get it over with?

I don't have to, Frank.

You got a bad heart.

You can't stand tension.

You're going to kill yourself.

Second ride is half fare, folks.

Take advantage of the second ride.

It's only half fare.

What's your hurry, Mrs. Johnson?

I had to do it, Mrs. Johnson.

That's Legget down there.

Your husband's safe.

- Where... where's Frank?

- Out there on the midway.
