  Speaker 2: got over it in a few seconds, walked out of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: here with no difficulty, perfectly straight. She must have had
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: some reasons, but.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Only two reasons Dame's got for leaning against the guy.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: The other one is they want to pick his pockets. Tricky,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I'll be That's what she did in a way. But

  Speaker 2: Do you know where Joe Maxon's establishment is? Yeah? Sure, good?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Only enough fuss cycles. You know what I referred to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: as an establishment, This is better known as a joint.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You're gonna maybe gimble a bit and not exactly. A
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: blonde just leaned against me, Eddie. Oh, that's bad. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: she did it in order to steal my gun. That's bad. Yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: but I don't explain why you're going to Maxim's. You
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: think that maybe she swamped the gun to give it
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to him. I'm afraid it wasn't a gun she thought
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of giving to him, only the bullets in it. Looking
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: for someone? You're not Joe Maxon? Are you no? My
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: name is Brent is Maddie North? Here, Maddie? Who wants
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to know? I do? That leaves me pretty much? Word
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: farm me. My name is Simon Templar. The Saint room
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: is du spread them. I have no idea where missus
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: North is. Well, I do. The idea is that she's here.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: What do you want it for? I tell her that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is she here? Well, she was here a little while ago,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: at the moment, at the moment, I don't see her.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Where is Maxim? I am not acquainted with your schedule.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: You're giving a very good imitation of an idiot. If
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: it is an imitation, where is Maxim's offer? Mister Templar,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I've got a job. It is to keep the customers
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: happy and mister Maxon undisturbed. If Maddie North gets to him,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Maxim is going to be more than disturbed. What are
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: you talking about? She stole my gun in a bar
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a little while ago. I believe her intentions were murderous.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: They concerned mister Maxon. Good heavens are come along. If
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I'd only known that you let her visit Maxim. Well
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you may not know this, but she and mister Maximon
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: at one time. You I know what they used to be.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And there's been a few chain however, perhaps, but everyone
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: around here likes Maddie and she must have been figuring
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: on that through here. I well, we were all hoping
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: perhaps she and mister Maxim would get together again. The
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: office is right down this way. I'd better not. Oh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: someone else decided to knock first. It's locked. Have you
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: got a key? Get it out quick? All right? Those
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: were shut of her mind being brilliant here. Thanks. Max
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: fell forward unto his desk. Window behind him is open.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Short dropped to an alley. We're a little late. Bullets
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: went in under his left shoulder. Blame mister Templan is dead.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: If that's what's bothering you, No, you see that man? Well,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: he's rest in a dark suit and his hair is
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the same color. But that isn't Maxim phoned the police.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Quiet at the boys out front and disposed of the customers.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I've been through the little stranger's pockets brand find anything?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: A couple of ten dollars chips? Have you ever been
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to Allentown, Pennsylvania? Brand? No, this man asked, how do
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know that? Brilliance on my part? I looked at
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the label in his suit came from hes Brother's department
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: store in ALLENTOWNE. Now you'd be just as brilliant and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: tell me his name? Uh, Kerrie, he's well a business competitor,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: rings a bell, don't stop there brand. He and a
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: man named Harris run of rival establishment, the Red Wheel
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: down the street. Interesting, they've been doing well. No. As
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, mister Harris was here yesterday to
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: see mister Maxon. His reason. He accused mister Maxon of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: unfair practices. Designer among the in a way. Interesting. That
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't explain why Carrie died in Maxon's office. Now he's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: built something like mister Maxon. He's wearing a similar suit
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and from the alley he could easily have been mistaken
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: for mister Maxon too. I'll let the police worry about that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Are you leaving? Yes, I've got to acclaim some property, property,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: my stolen revolver from Maddie North. Yes, a lady who
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: may have made a mistake. On the other hand, she
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: may not have had a chance to meaning what this
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: is Maxon's office, that's Maxon's desk. But where is Maxon? Hey,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: mister Templer, just we was pulling away from the Maxims joint.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Now the cops was pulling in, and they always do
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: after a murder Eddie. Oh, then Mattion ain't no longer woulds?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: If you mean present? The answer is yes, if you
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: mean Dad, I don't know. Oh this you think helps me?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: A man named Carrie was shot in Maxon's office, appadly
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: by mistake, not necessarily however, Well that's okay by me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: If it was a mistake, then his murderer could have
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: been Maddy North or possibly Paris, a business rival. Oh yeah,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: this is very clear to me. If, however, Carrie was
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: shot as Carrie, h I beg your pardon. Well, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: just thought this would be a nice place to say,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: uh huh. So if Carry was shot as Carrie. The
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: killer then might have been Maxim. Yes, so whichever will
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you look at it altogether? There are three suspects? Huh, yes,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: well that's a nice number. So who is it this
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: address that I'm taking it to? A blonde, A leaning blonde? Yes, Hey,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you want to find out if she's still leading, that's right?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Or if she fell. Hello, Maddie Mackey.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: I'm on my way to bed.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: You usually go to bed with your clothes on.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: I didn't have a chance to get them off if.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: You came here directly from the bar.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: I went for a walk, A long walk, all right,
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: A long walk the way did?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The revolver didn't bother you?
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: What? What revolver?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: The one you borrowed from me?
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I didn't.

• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You led it to a friend.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: No.

  Speaker 5: I I realized I'd been crazy. After I left the bar,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: I threw it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Away before or after. Two shots were fired from it?
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Two shots.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Where does that door lead to that?
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: It's the back door of the.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Apartment, funny, placed right opposite the front door. The architect
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: had no imagination. What's interesting about that door, Maddie.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Nothing?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: You've been watching it ever since I came in. I
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: think I'll have a look at.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: It, Simon.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: That door. I'm mad about back doors. M it's dark.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: You ought to speak to the landlord about.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Simon.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Simon, all right, all right, I'm ready for my music
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: lessons on the harp? Or is this the other place?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Let me all right, Maddie, you're a female Benedict Arnold.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I was happy on the floor. Hand me my other.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Head, Simon, Please, are you all right?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: My head may not be bloody, but it certainly got bowed.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: I was so worried what that.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Door turning out to be a door leading to your bedroom,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: not the back door at all? He who hit me?
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: There was a suitcase over the door shelf.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: It fell when you opened the door.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: A suitcase with lungs. Maddie. It did breathing just before
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it hit me. No, shall we go look for that shelf.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: They don't usually build them over doors. It was in
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: that room, Maddy.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Could it have been Joe.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Maxim You think I'd let him hide here, but I
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: hate him.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: That's possibly true. You did steal my gun to kill
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: him with, didn't you? Maybe I did, but then you
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: changed your mind. Or perhaps you didn't change your mind.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you did kill him.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: He's not dead, of course he isn't.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: But how did you know that? I knew it? Because
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: he's just been here, Maddie. Did you ever wear glasses?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: No, my eyesight's perfect.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: W No. A man named Carrie Carrie? I think so
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: my tense was wrong. I should have said you a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: man named Carry. He's dead. Somebody shot him earlier this
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: evening in Maxim's office, either because the killer thought he
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: was Joe, maximum because he didn't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: You're making up some kind of a joke.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, be sure to tell it to Joe the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: next time you see him. He may die laughing.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Hello, Maddie, Joe, Oh, Joe Temple. Yeah, did he tumble?
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: He guessed it was.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: You, Just so long as he isn't sure, Maddie, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: need some dough. I got to stay hold up for
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Why.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Well, this business of Carrie getting bumped off in my office,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the cups a level. I think maybe I bumped him off.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: He was sorry about the way you did business, wasn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: he Joe?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: But did you kill him?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Joe? Of course I did.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Until tonight you didn't even want to see me. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: when you get in a jam.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Oh it's not that, baby, I was busy. I was
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: going to look you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Up the first Sure, I wish I was dope enough
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: to believe you. But even not believing you, I've got
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: a few dollars, how can I get them to you?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I gotta keep moving around. I'm done at part grown up. Look, baby,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: make it up on the bridge, the pedestrian walk.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Kind of hour, and I'll be all right.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'll be bad Joe, find baby fine, because I love you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Because I love you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Took it off a long time to find out about
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that lean and blonde, mister Templar, it did so did
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you find that? Uh huh, I fell, mister Templar. No,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: it is will It could happen to anybody. It didn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to me. So some days you can't make a nicle.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Well that's why you're going to the Red Wheel. I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: think I should meet mister Harris. He may have some information.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: He has also got crooked roulette wheels, and I won't play.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: You're playing, mister Templar. From what I hear of mister Harris,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: you could easily be playing with death. It's open, mister Harris.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I'm Harris. You'd be templar. Your boys downstairs were very
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: thorough about searching me. They're always very thorough. They've got
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: their orders. I notice you've got the window shades drawn.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Nervous playing it safe a habit of mine. Your partner
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: felt the same way. No, Carrie was always on the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: reckless side, he said, was the cops have been here, Templar.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Terrible tragedy, fine upstanding citizen like Carrie dead. I could
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: spare your sarcasm. I'm not sure I couldn't. But do
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you think killed him? Harris? The cops didn't tell me
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: you'd know. How much doubt do you think there is
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: about Maxon? Is the killer? A good deal of doubt
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: at the moment. You must have reasons I have. Maxen's
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: club was doing very well yours and Carry's isn't. Why
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: should maxim bother killing an unsuccessful competitor. Kerry didn't care
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: for the way Maxon had been steering customers away from us. Carry,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: as I said, was on the reckless side. He probably
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: told Maxon how he felt, and Maxon, being a sensitive plan,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: promptly killed Carry. It's a possibility. Don't you think I'm
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: unarmed in your club? I don't think I can afford
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: to do much thinking. It's on the house, thank you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: But still, Harris, how did Carry and you get along?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: We got along fine? But you knew that's what I'd answer,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: whatever the truth was. What is the truth? There's more
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: than one way of answering anything, Templar, more than one way, Harris.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You're quite right, I am, which means that I'm in
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a hurry about what that there's more than one way.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I don't got it? Perhaps not, but I suspect I've
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: just discovered how Carrie got it? Was there, Simon Templary,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Brian place all closed on? What do you think the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: cops have been after us for a long time? Carrie
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: shooting gives them their chance. It's a pity. What are
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: you doing all alone here at the bar, repressing your tears,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: taking some nourishment. The vitamins can wait, Brent? How did
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Carry get into Maxim's office? He must have sneaked in
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: with you watching? Well, I guess he didn't sneak in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: through the front door. He must have got in through
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that back window, the one that was open. Let's go
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: take a look at it. Huh. All right? The last
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: time I was here, all I had time to do
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: is take a quick look at that window. There's something
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I've got to check. I'm going. I did mention there
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: was a drop to the alley from the window. Ye
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: still is What does that mean? The theory has been
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: for some time that maybe Carry was shot by mistake. Yes,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it has been. That would mean he'd have to have
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: been shot through that window. What's wrong with that? There's
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: a drop to the alley brand, somebody standing outside wouldn't
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: be able to see into the room or fire a
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: gun at someone in the room. I have maybe he
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: stood on something. We got into the room seconds after
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the shooting. It wouldn't have been time to remove anything
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: from under the window. There wasn't anything under the window
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: brand Why. I don't know what to say, Brent. Carry
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: didn't sneak into the office. You let him in? No,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: there must be more than one way into this room
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: besides the front door. Well, that door leads to what
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: bathroom door? Here? It leads to the hallway too. Very nice, Brent,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: what's very nice? Carry wasn't shot by mistake. Whoever shot
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: him intended to kill him. You let Carry in? Perhaps deliberately,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't would make you an accessory. I didn't have
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: any motive Maxon might have had. Maxon didn't have opportunity.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: He didn't know carry was in his office. I'm sure
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he did it. I mean, I mean Maxon knew Kerry
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: was waiting for him. How did he know, Brent, I
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: don't have to answer that. It might be the only
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: thing to keep you out of the chair. Well maybe
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I told him. You're not sure you said carry up
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: for Maxim. That's not what I said. You didn't have to.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I think you'd better stay in town, Brent. The police
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: get annoyed when they have to travel for their witnesses.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they get so annoyed they don't even let them
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: turn state's evidence. Coupless time you come back even quicker
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: from the blonde. But a good reason, Eddie, she's not home.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Oh that ain't good. Raised than that, Eddie, it's bad. Well,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: it ain't such a cold night. I gotta find her.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Dooring man told me she took a cab, but he
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: noticed the kind of cab that famous yours. Well, in
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that case, we are in. You got an idea, he yeah,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: all of us camp. He's up in this part of town.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: You see, we hang out at Sammy's and we ain't
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: got a fair Sammy. Yeah, that's the station a couple
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: of blocks over toward the river. If the campy that
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: dropped the block any places around, I will line all, hey, couple,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: think of it's about time? Did I learn the work anyway? Eddie?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You are sure your information is correcked? Yeah? The blanc
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: took a camp to the New York end of the
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn Bridge. She got out, she said, walking across the bridge.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's what you tell me before. But the truth the
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: canby happens to be my brother in law, and he
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: always tells the truth. Sure, except to my sister. But
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: why would Maddy be walking on the bridge at this
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: hour of the night. Who can tell about blonde? Of
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: course she might be meeting someone there, or she may
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: decide to jump. I don't hear anything. I didn't see you,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: not my habit of standing on the lamp posts.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: It's so dark up here on the bridge, dark and co.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I never mind the emotions. You got the dough?
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah here, Joe, thanks baby, Thanks baby? Is that all
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: you've got to say to me? Joe?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Somebody coming, Turn you back to the wool. We'll lean
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: over the.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Rail whoever it was is gone.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Joe, Maddy, Mattie, I think you're swell. Sure, maybe I
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: didn't always act like I appreciated you. But once I
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: get out of this message to see me again, Oh no,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: don't be like that, baby. I mean everything I say.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I better scram Would it be asking too much if
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: I wanted you to kiss me?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: No? Thanks, I gotta hurry. So long, Maddie, I'll be saying,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Maddie worth Maxim, I don't know. I haven't got time
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to be cute. I came from the New York end
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: of the bridge. Maxm didn't pass me, must have gone
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: on to Brooklyn.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Simon. What do you want with him?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: You may not believe it, but I'm trying to save
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: his life. Did anyone pass you in Maxim on the bridge?
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Yes? Someone. We had our backs turned so we didn't
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: see who.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: It's who I think it is. Yes, yes, it's Maxim.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: He's dead. Whoever killed him is heading for the Brooklyn
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and end of the bridge. It's got to start. Perhaps
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: too much of a starting list.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Where are you going?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I'm climbing down to the roadway. Perhaps I can get
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a hitch, but I don't understand it. Mister, don't try.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I haven't enough time to explain for coming to the
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: end of the bridge. Slow down here, But I don't
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: want to get any trouble about the thanks wants it
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: all about murder? Oh dear, goodbye, good evening, mister Harris.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: In hurry, mister Harris, I was taking a walk on
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the bridge, taking a run. You mean well, I don't
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: mind admitting I'm out of condition, That's sadly true, but
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I really must go along. I haven't a point where
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you have. It must still be warm, thank you, it
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: is still warm. Why, yes, mister Harris, I'll get you
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: for this. I can understand why you're so upset. Mister Harris.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Have made you late for your appointment, haven't I. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: don't worry even if you are late. The executioner always waits.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: All the things that happen on bridges, And mister Templar,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: we have not deposited the blonde who wasn't only not leaning,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: she was collapsing? Who and Maddie And we have also
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: deposited a mister Harris with some policemen, and they were
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: very happy to collect them. What do I know what happened?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: We know he murdered Joe Maxon up on the bridge. Yeah,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: you know, all right, but then all you did was
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: just to hit you right on a car and then
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you beat him to the other end of the bridge
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and you grab them. Now, mister templar, I will admit
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: that this was a public spirited action maybe, but honest,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: it ain't of you. What do you mean, no clues? Oh,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: by Daddie, I already knew it would be Harry. Uh huh.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: All right, well now I'm beginning to feel better, So
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: tell me how did you already know there would be
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Harris who could have killed Gary? One theory was that
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Gary had been shot by a mistake for a Maxim
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: that might have involved Maddie, but I eliminated that possibility
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: on my second trip to Maxon's plate. Oh yeah, she
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: did the business about the alley. Huh yeah. Yeah. Another
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: possibility was that Maxon and Carry quarreled and that Maxim
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: shot Carry. Yeah. This sounds reasonable except for the fact that,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned at the time, Carrie was shot under
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the left shoulder blade, meaning he was shot in the back.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't have turned his back on an open enemy
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: like Maxim. Oh h yeah. This also sounds reasonable, so
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that left Harris. By killing his own partner and framing Maxon,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Harris hoped to eliminate a business rival, thereby making his
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: own gambling club more valuable and at the same time
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: gaining sole ownership of it. Ah yeah, this guy was
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: trying to kill two boyds with one stone. Ah Hi, Yeah,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you're right, Eddie. Why I should drive your home Nowmice
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the Templin. I guess so, Eddie is not a blonde insight,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: not even a leaning one.

  Speaker 7: the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio with Adam Graham.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: And now let's get back into the show.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, I love Sheldon Leonard, but he's not
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a good substitute for Larry Doopkin as Louie. There were
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: some people, I think, during the golden age of radio
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: who thought you could replace one regular character with any
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: other regular character. In fact, sometimes the stars of radio programs,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the main stars, are changed without any notice or thought
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that a change is being made. It's just all of
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a sudden, here's your new star, folks. And I think
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that's definitely the case with Louie. In this case, the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: script really sounds like it was written for Louie. They
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: couldn't get him at the last minute, and so they
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: substituted in Eddie. Louie is of course very well beloved,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and that does bring me to a survey we ran
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: over on a Great Detectives dot net on our Facebook
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: page at Facebook dot com Slash Radio Detectives, asking people
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: who their favorite sidekick or partner was on the current
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: shows we had, and Louie actually won running away with
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: sixty three percent for Louie, twenty six percent for Ben
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Romero on Dragnet, and eleven percent like Patsy Bowen, Nicky
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Porter from Ellery Queen, Walda McGlenn and Scubby Wilson were
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: listed but didn't receive any votes. So you know what
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: we want more Lowie, and hopefully we'll get it all right, Well,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: that will do it for today. Join us back here
• 33:37
