3:19
Are you going my way? Yeah? I'm going your way all right?
3:22
Thanks? You're sure it's no trouble. It's no trouble. Move into
3:27
the driver's seat. You want me to drive, that's right? Why,
3:30
oh don't tell me? This is a hot car and you don't want to
3:34
be found at the wheel. How did you guess, Argie? Didn't you
3:37
learn anything in prison? Yeah? I learned crime does not pay, besides
3:40
which it is against the Lord. Well, I'm glad to hear it,
3:44
didn't you know? I mean I'm glad to find out you know. Oh
3:46
sure, mister Templar, I learned my lesson. I'm off crime for keep.
3:52
But then this car, ain't it a butte? And the keys was
3:55
in it? With the setup like that, it'll be a crime not to
3:59
take it. And like I said, yes, you're off crime for Keiths.
4:02
Yeah, now let's go Shoey shot her up? But age you like
4:06
I tell you? Oh, certainly, ag that's right now put her in
4:11
the face. Oh, Augie, why didn't you swipe a car with automatic
4:15
drive while you're at it? I just wasn't thinking. Why the gun?
4:20
So you'll do like I tell you? Oh that's how come you're driving?
4:25
I want to keep my eye on you, the eye I don't mind.
4:28
It's the gun. I resent put it away, and I'll be grateful as
4:30
long as I live. Double is you ain't gonna live very long. Oh
4:35
so that's how we stand. Yeah, I'm sorry, mister templar, But
4:40
what can I do? The job's a job. Chuck the job? You
4:44
know, the saying all work and no play. Well, I'll play after
4:47
I knock off. You mean after you knock me off. That's right.
4:50
But Augie, you know if you kill me, you'll hate yourself in the
4:54
morning. Yeah, I know, But if I don't know, hate myself
4:57
tonight. It's a cash and if I top whatever you're getting, no dice.
5:02
I got my reputation to think of. Oh pardon me for being crewed.
5:06
Oh that's all right, mister templar. Well, as long as you're
5:10
determined to get rid of me, at least tell me who's giving the orders.
5:13
Oh sorry, that's confidential. Oh I won't breathe it to a living
5:16
soul, believe me. Huh, whoa, I guess you won't it that,
5:21
so there's no harm. I guess you're right under the circumstances. Well,
5:25
then it's a guy named Ronald Stanton. Ronald Stanton who's he? In
5:30
my business? You don't ask questions? It's all right, a guy named
5:33
Ronald Stanton? But what he got against me? Look? In my business,
5:38
yes, but in my business you do all I know. Stanton calls
5:43
me in, gives me the assignment, gives me a down payment, and
5:46
I get the rest on delivery of my court. Right. Well, it's
5:50
nice work if you can get it. Yeah, I'm sorry about this,
5:54
mister Templar, but times are tough. M You've got to take what comes
5:58
along. M h. Opportunity. The only knots once. The guy's gotta
6:02
live in my sentiments exactly. Heyne, what are you doing? I'm just
6:06
stepping on the guys? Put out? I slow down? A plug it
6:10
if we can find a coffin, do for two have that clothes you're trying
6:15
to do? Scamming advent? If I thought, if you don't stop yet,
6:19
if you don't stop, you said that before, please, mister Temple,
6:24
Oh you want me to stop? Yeah? Well all win? Well
6:32
what what hit means? The windshield? And now I'll take that gun?
6:35
Come on, ag you snap out of it, mister Templar. What was
6:41
the idea? Don't you realize we might have been killed. Never mind,
7:02
Johnson, I'll get it. I'm expecting JIT is very good, sir.
7:08
Yes are you Ronald Stanton? Yes? And you Simon Templar. I Simon
7:13
Templar as I live and breathe, No, as I do. Surprise,
7:16
isn't it. Where's Augie nursing a headache? Dear me? I should have
7:20
known me. I come in. I want to talk to you, certainly,
7:23
certainly said the spider to the fly. But before you get any ideas,
7:26
mister Stanton, I've left word. I was coming here so for your
7:29
thing, I quite understand. Come in right now. You have nothing to
7:32
worry about, mister Templer. I am constitutionally incapable of violence. That's why
7:36
I'm forced to depend upon Dullud's like Ogi. As a matter of fact,
7:41
I'm really in every way I'm suited for the sort of work I've engaged in.
7:45
I should have been an artist. I have the soul of an artist,
7:46
the temperament of an artist, the intellect of an artist. And why
7:49
aren't you an artist? My paintings stink? Oh, so you'll find me
7:54
a swindler instead degrading. But a man must live. Though I've heard and
7:59
at least it does involve the intelligence matching one's wits as it were. Oh,
8:03
dear me, what's matter? I just remembered I must make a note
8:07
to call the forest in the morning and cancel the flowers. What flowers for
8:09
your funeral? You won't be needing them, will you not? If I
8:13
can help it? Pity? They were gorgeous. You'd have loved them.
8:16
Well, I'll try to bear up well. Now to business. I suppose
8:20
you've come here for your money, have I? Since I'm afraid i'd have
8:24
to pay. By the way, you're not going to hold this unpleasantness with
8:28
Aggie against me I or a little thing like that. Don't be said.
8:31
I knew you'd understand. It was a natural move on my part. Anyone
8:35
would have done the same rather than pay, you would have yourself. I
8:37
wouldn't have used doggy, neither shall I next time. But since you and
8:41
I understand each other, it won't affake our dearing. Not only good,
8:46
then it's still just the agreed upon amount. Yes, yes, the agreed
8:50
upon amount. Excellent. I may not have it all here. We'll see
8:54
how much is in this safe Just a moment, m afraid this isn't quite
9:01
enough. Let me count it. Don't you never keep that safe? Lost?
9:03
I never can remember the combination. No, no, this is only
9:07
twelve thousand, only twelve thousand. Yes, you see, I really didn't
9:11
expect you. If you come to the office in the morning, I'll give
9:15
you the other three. Will you be there unless I wake up in the
9:18
meantime? Good night, mister Danton. Yes, may I help you?
9:39
Well? Well, mister Dapton has a well equipped office and me yes,
9:43
and a well equipped receptionist. What do you want? What do I want?
9:48
We'll get around to that later. Right now, I want to see
9:50
mister Dapton, who, shall I say, is called Simon? Templer?
9:54
Simon? Not the same, all right? Not the same? Oh,
9:58
but you must be all right I am. Oh, I wish you'd make
10:00
up your mind. Well, I'm really bulldog Drummond, but I'm traveling incognito.
10:03
Now, may I see mister Stem just a moment, mister Champler.
10:18
This is mister Briggs, mister Stanton's secretary. Hello, ah, yes,
10:20
ah, yes, Templar, What is it, sir? What is it
10:24
I'd like to see, mister Stem. Mister Stanton is a very busy man,
10:26
so very busy, he'll see me. Well, now I don't know.
10:30
I don't know, ah, but I do know. I do know.
10:31
As a matter of fact, I don't believe he's in yet. Don't
10:33
believe he is. Allah. Wait, I'll wait. Can't I help you?
10:37
Have you got three thousand dollars? The three thousand dollars, three thousand
10:41
dollars to go with twelve? I don't understand. I didn't think you would.
10:43
I'll wait for mister Stanton very well, if you insist, very well,
10:46
come inside. You can wait there. Thanks. Oh the name is
10:50
Linda. Oh well, I hope you'll be here when I get back.
10:54
I'll make a point of it. Leida, and mister Briggs, you can
11:05
wait in my office. This door right here, Go on in and thanks?
11:09
Do you? Oh? Yes, mister Stanton were breaks? Isn't he
11:31
in his office? I've been bunning no answer? Go find him. Yes,
11:33
mister Stanton, he was here a little while of them. What's that?
11:45
I've just been put to sleep with you in my dreams. I don't
11:48
want to wake up. You took the words right out of my mouth.
11:54
I wouldn't know. Is he the one who knocked you? Are? I
11:56
wouldn't be surprised. But what that, as they say, is the question?
12:00
And why did he tell you that? Mister Stanton? Wasn't it?
12:01
That is? They say, say, how many questions are they? And
12:05
as long as questions seem to be in order, allow me? Is mister
12:09
Stanton in? Yes, he's in in all morning? So I couldn't understand
12:13
it? What helped me up? Will you? Of course? Thanks?
12:16
What nice leaning on you? I must remember to get knocked out more often.
12:22
Do you think you can walk? Probably? But I don't feel inclined
12:26
to find out. Well, we can't just stand here with our arms around
12:30
each other. We can't. On second thought, perhaps we can, and
12:35
they thought we can? There comes miss stand Well, well, well isn't
12:37
this jumping? This is mister temple at Stain. He's just had a frightful
12:41
experience, and I'm rightful quite the countrary, i'd say. I mean he
12:45
was knocked out naturally one look at you and anymore, I mean literally with
12:48
a sap of black jacks. What oh no, oh, yes, but
12:52
that's incredible. Why I'm afraid you'll have to ask your secretary. Oh yes,
12:56
Briggs, where is he? I can't find him? Understand? And
13:00
he seems to have left you off. You could he have left without your
13:03
singing? Yes, mister Champs. But are you Are you trying to say
13:07
that Briggs knocked you out? Mister Templar, This it's so hard to believe.
13:09
He just don't understand it. Well, I came here for sugar,
13:13
so I suppose he decided to give me my luves. Quite good? Quite
13:16
good? Ah, yes, sugar, you want the three thousands, I'll
13:18
get it for you, mister Templar, all right, and we'd agreed this
13:22
settles my account anyway, Yes it does, but I still have an account
13:26
to settle with mister Briggs. Hello, Linda, Oh, mister temp I
13:46
didn't expect to see you. I invited you for dinner. Did you think
13:48
I understand you on? I mean, under the circumstance? What circumstances?
13:52
Haven't you heard the sound brig good? I'll settle with him later, right
13:56
now? Are you afraid you will be seen? Now? Don't tell me
13:58
you have a jealous husband. I don't have a husband. Life can be
14:03
beautiful, but the police are a very dull topic of conversation. I prefer
14:07
they're looking for you for me. Yes, so I'll buy a dog license.
14:11
It's not about a dog license. I told you they've found break so
14:15
you did. What's he been saying about me? Nothing? Dead men never
14:18
do well enough dead men? Yes, didn't you know? He's a murdered
14:24
I beg your pardon, monsieur, would you care to our now, sir,
14:26
I'd be very honest with you. Captain. I I am not a
14:28
bit hungry, but monsieur mess no, no, thank you, but I
14:33
fail faces on the glass. Tell the chef to have one on me.
14:39
Now, Linda, what were we talking about? Oh, Simon, So
14:43
I'm suspect number one? Yes, did you do it? Kill Briggs?
14:46
I hardly knew him. I only kill old friend. You don't seem to
14:50
realize how serious this is. My conscience is clear, and I've got a
14:52
good lawyer. Tell me something about Stanton, Linda. What about what's his
14:56
racket? Why he's in the real estate business, so it's a he's on
15:00
his door. But what's his racket? I don't understand. I wonder.
15:03
All I know is mister Stanton has some big projects on the way. He's
15:07
been selling stock in it, so that's it. What the racket? I
15:11
don't know about it being a racket. It's a business deal. I thought
15:15
it was legitimate. Look, you don't pay off somebody to the tune of
15:18
fifteen thousand to shut him up about a legitimate business deal. Did mister Stanton
15:22
do that? Mm? Hm, Well, I don't know much about it.
15:24
I've only worked for him a short while. Who did he pay off
15:28
you? But you said you didn't know it? I didn't, But then
15:31
we all make mistakes. You mean, mister Stanton is a swindler, and
15:35
he thought you found out, so he paid you to shut up. M
15:37
that's right, and you accepted his money. It seemed a shame to spoil
15:41
his fun. But I'll contribute it to a worthy card. Do you feel
15:48
like a worthy card? But what made mister Stanton think that you knew Briggs?
15:52
Obviously he must have been blackmailing Stanton in my name? Why your name?
15:56
If I say so myself, Linda and I do. It's a name
15:58
that carries weight with the underworld. Why didn't he use his own name?
16:02
He anticipated Augie? Blackmail is a hazardous occupation. Briggs wanted to avoid the
16:07
hazards, so he used my name, probably intending to send a messenger for
16:11
the money. But Stanton jumped the gun by sending Augie after me? Who
16:15
is Augie one of nature's mistakes? That's not very specific. If I were
16:19
any more specific about Augie, i'd spoil your appetite. And it's time for
16:22
dinner. So let's forget about Augie in order, shall we? Actually actly?
16:41
You don't want to tax you, mister Templar. I got a car
16:44
ride here. I'll speak of the devil. Were you speaking of the devil?
16:48
Mister Templar? Figuratively? Augae? Oh, Linda, this is Augie.
16:52
I see. Likewise, I am charming to have met you. It
16:56
is a pleasure. Now scram what I'm afraid you'd better scram, Linda?
17:03
Will you be all right? Yes? I'm sure Aggie will take care of
17:06
me, won't you argue? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? Now look,
17:07
sister, you don't scram so good? The one I should show you how?
17:11
No, she don't want you should show her how? Go on,
17:14
and I call you lady? Right all right? All the way, and
17:18
you, mister Templar, get in the car. But Algie, you've heard
17:22
me? Uh me a gun again? Argie, this is where I came
17:26
in. I mean, this is where you get him. Go ahead,
17:29
all right, argue this time I drive. Oh I'm hurt. You didn't
17:33
like my driving, so your height. I let you drive her both bed.
17:37
My left hand stays in my lap with the gun, so just sit
17:41
quiet. I see Baton changed his mind about what firing you? Why should
17:48
he fire me? He was very upset by last night fiasco. Well,
17:51
mister Stampon is not a man to hold a grudge. Oh, I see.
17:53
Besides which I know too much about what things. Well, I'm glad
18:00
you've kept your job. I'd hate to be taken for a ride by a
18:03
really efficient hoodlum. That's no way to talk, mister templar. I'll have
18:07
you know I ain't no hoodlum. I'm sorry. I stand correct. You'll
18:10
sit right where you are yet argue and no tricks this time. No Ugu,
18:14
we ain't going to have another fabasco. No argue. I am a
18:18
careful driver, so I see. But now let's see how you do with
18:22
my foot on yours. Hey, that's what where you're going? Aug?
18:25
All right? Oggy, hey, engatulations doggie, you're really elate where you
18:32
grab that wheel? Of course, when you grab the wheel, I grabbed
18:33
the gun. Oh this is getting monotonous. Well, I'm willing to quit
18:37
if you are. Believe me, mister Templar. I am giving it serious
18:40
consideration. Mister Templar, as you live and breathe quite But where's Aggie?
18:56
He met with another forbacco. I think you are to Stanton and you can
19:02
cancel the flowers again. I'm still alive. Why of course you are.
19:04
Why shouldn't you? Oh, oh, dear me, did you think that
19:07
Oggie was trying to kill you again? Wasn't he? Dear me? No,
19:11
I simply asked him to bring you here. He doesn't extend a very
19:12
cordial invitation. No, I'm afraid not. But here I am anyway,
19:17
Stanton. So what do you want? It's rather difficult to ask. Without
19:19
Aggie. You shouldn't be hard to ask, it might be hard to get
19:22
yes. But since Augie failed again, why did you come to find out?
19:26
Why you sticked him on knee again? I understood that when you paid
19:30
me off this morning we were quit. Ah, but that was before the
19:33
murder. That also matters. Oh, you have fifteen thousand dollars of mine,
19:37
you're I don't wish to discuss ethics, mister Templar. Let's just do
19:41
this pragmatically. Is simply a bit of tit for tat says it were very
19:45
well pragmatic tit for tat? What does it mean? I paid you fifteen
19:48
thousand dollars for silence? I thought you might here to repay me the fifteen
19:52
for same? What would I want you to be silent about? You're whereabouts?
19:56
The police are looking for the man who was in Stanton's office? Is
20:00
I think if you were here in Augie's custody, I could offer you the
20:03
choice of freedom or arrest. But since Augie once again failed me, the
20:07
whole matter becomes an academic question that you can't blame me for trying. After
20:11
all, you would have done the same. In fact, Hugh did the
20:15
same. Eh, every man for himself had no hard feelings? Right?
20:18
Quite? Good night, mister Stare. Hello, Hello, Lindah. Are
20:47
you all right? It is a bullfiddle? Linda? Do you have a
20:49
key to the office? Yes? Good, I'll meet you there in twenty
20:52
minutes. Because I don't have a key. I mean, why you want
20:56
to get into the earth to find something? What a clue? What clue
20:59
should I know? I haven't found it yet? Don't you expect with your
21:03
help. All right, I'll be there. Look out for Stanton. Why
21:06
I have an idea he'll be coming too. Oh did you ask? No?
21:07
But I don't think he needs an invitation. And you don't want him
21:11
to see me, not until we're in the office. I don't want to
21:14
scare him away. Oh, it begins to sound you afraid. I wonder
21:19
how I ought to take that as a co all right, I'll be waiting,
21:23
Linda, hurry right on the note. Well let's go in, all
21:36
right. I don't turn on the light. I don't want Stanton to know
21:41
we're here. What have you seen? What makes you so sure he's coming?
21:45
Just paid him a visit. I could see who was packing. He's
21:48
preferring to leave town, and he'll probably want to clean out the office first.
21:51
He's running away, it would seem. Well, now what do we
21:53
do. I'm going in back to see what I can find. You stay
21:56
here at your desk. If Stanton comes, buzz me, stay alone in
22:00
the dark. I'll only be a minute, and then we'll stay together in
22:03
the dark. All right. Can you find your way to the door.
22:07
Yeah, yeah, I found it. I'll be right back, all right,
22:21
Yes, Simon. You want something, as Danton showed up. Yes,
22:23
well, I'll be right out, Yes, already, already. You
22:30
don't know the thing, I'll be right out and give you a chance to
22:33
learn. Fine, Yes, Linda, what's your find? You see what
22:41
I see? I don't see anything. It's so dark at the door,
22:44
Silhouette. Oh hello, Stanton. Here, let me turn the light on
22:52
for you. Oh, oh, Templar and minda. Yes, we've been
22:56
waiting for you, Stanton. How did you know elementary? My dear Stanton,
23:00
seems you've beaten me, Templar to everything except it's the draw. Put
23:03
up your hand and not gunplay with out of your line, mister Stanton.
23:07
Sometimes one is forced to take matters into one's own hands. But I assure
23:10
you I don't relish it. So please do as I say, both of
23:11
you, because if I'm forced to shoot you, I know I shall be
23:15
quite ill. What are you going to do? If you too, will
23:18
just stand quietly with your hands raised? I have a better idea. He's
23:19
between us, Linda. He can't watch us both at the same time.
23:22
Get over next to her, template, But nearly there's nothing I'd rather do
23:26
but under the circumstance. If you don't obey me, much as I hate
23:29
the sight of blood, I shall be fast to shoot you. In other
23:30
words, that there comes a time when even you are willing to commit murder
23:33
only when absolutely necessary. It's nice distinction. I don't care to discuss it.
23:37
Now. Will you get over next to Linda. On the contrary,
23:41
Linda, while he's watching me, now's your chance clouse him with that standing
23:44
ash. Now, now you don't, all right, Satan, Now that
23:45
you've turned to her, I've got your cover. Drop your gun, all
23:48
right, all right, don't shoot, As I've told you, I can't
23:52
stand the sight of blood, especially my own. Pick up his gun,
23:56
Linda, got it good? Yeah? Me? Perhaps Doggie isn't so incompetent,
24:00
after all, gun and play can be quite complicated. Well, we'll
24:03
send you where you can learn the art from experts. Let me have his
24:07
gun, Linda, and then you can call the police. All right,
24:08
the police. But but you can't, can't wait? You you promised if
24:12
I paid you. There, I didn't promise the things Stan, That was
24:15
Briggs. What besides, there's more than just a swindle to settle. Let's
24:18
not overlook the murder quite right, sir. You put the police onto me,
24:22
you'll have to face them for the murder charge. I wouldn't try to
24:25
pin the murder on me Stanton. You see, I could point out that
24:27
Briggs was blackmailing you in my name. You found out about it, And
24:30
are you trying to say that I killed Briggs? This is as good as
24:33
story as that I did. You have no proof, templates, we'll see.
24:37
I came here this morning at your invitation. Briggs was terrified. He
24:41
didn't know you and I had met before. He thought if I talked to
24:42
you, you'd find out I wasn't the one who was blackmailing you, and
24:45
it might give Briggs this game away, so he knocked me out to keep
24:48
me from meeting you. That still doesn't prove anything. Ah, Yes,
24:52
proof, The proof of the pudding is in the eating. And you can't
24:55
eat your proof and have it too. What on earth does that mean nothing
24:57
at all? Go to call the police, Yes, templar please the lady's
25:03
phoning Hello operator, I want the police. Please, Hello police, Can
25:11
you send a car to the Stanton real Estate Aids on Hudson Street. We
25:15
have a swindler and a murderer that's right, Yes, that's right, Aison,
25:18
goodbye Templar. You are making a big mistake. I know, but
25:22
I wanted to give Linda a chance to complete the Car of Stanton. Naturally
25:26
she wouldn't as if I had said she is the one who killed Brakes.
25:29
What Linda looks like. We never will get that chance to sit in the
25:33
dark together. This is absurd. Why would I want to kill Break because
25:36
you were in on his scheme with him, and you were afraid if he
25:38
were caught at it and talked, he'd imprecate you. So you killed him
25:41
while I was unconscious. Why you're you're crazy is the usual line at this
25:45
point where you are I had nothing to do with Britle. Yet when I
25:48
came here and asked to see Stanton, you left your desk and went in
25:52
to get Briggs instead of talking to him on the intercom. Well, I
25:55
wanted to talk to him behind my back in case he wanted to cook up
25:57
a story. No, I didn't use the intercom. It's connected with his
26:02
office and it works. I checked. So that's what you were looking for.
26:06
You think you're so clever, Well you can just start Linda, Linda,
26:10
careful Remember I'm a saint at taxi. You don't want to taxi,
26:30
mister Templar. I got a car here, No argue, not again.
26:33
What's the matter, mister Templar. Don't you like my company? It's not
26:37
that argy. But I'm warning you if you keep driving a hot car around
26:41
town, some nice policeman is going to speak harshly to you and pull you
26:44
in. Mister Templar. Yes, Argie, to tell you the truth,
26:48
there ain't a hot car, not even slightly warm. No, I bought
26:52
it. Take care, but yeah, I wouldn't like it to go.
26:57
No further, I Understan and Doggie, don't worry. I won't say a
27:02
word. I realized what it would do to your reputation. You haven't listening
27:17
to another adventure of the Saint, the robin hoods of modern crime, and
27:21
all here is our starve and sent price. This year, the Forest Service
27:25
of the United States Department of Agriculture prevails on the vacationing and motoring public to
27:30
exercise extreme care with fire while living, working, or visiting in or near
27:36
forest and woodland areas. Remember, friends, it only takes a moment carelessness
27:41
or thoughtlessness to set fire loose in the forest, so let's all be careful.
27:48

27:51

29:02
Sam Spath. Sam Summer Symphony with Benny Goodman on MBC welcome back. This
29:11
one definitely a very strong comedy mystery feel, and in some ways does feel
29:18
like a very genuine Saint story, with somebody trying to blackmail a con man
29:25
in the name of the Saint and a thing going along with it, even
29:27
to the point of collecting the blackmail money even though he didn't initiate it,
29:33
but of course with the idea that this is going to a good cause in
29:37
the end. Now we turn to listener comments and feedback, and we have
