find the Amazing mister Malone, Operator, Operator, Get me the Office of
1:55
John J. Malone. The National Broadcasting Company presents The Amazing Mister Malone,
2:08
an exciting half hour of mystery starring George Petrie as the lawyer who's practiced before
2:15
every type of bar has become a legend. Arlocal is the city of Chicago,
2:20
the time, the present, and the hero of these weekly adventures,
2:25
The Amazing Mister Malone. Malone's the name John J. Malone, Attorney and
2:44
constor at law. Those of you who have dropped by the office before know
2:49
how proud I am in my collection of cliches. Tonight's let's explore the possibilities
2:53
offered by Sikh and you shall find. I suppose that goes for headaches too.
2:59
There's a case in points. I'll give you a Larry Barker. Larry's
3:02
the rugged looking boy making his way down the fourth floor corridor of the Martin
3:06
Building right now. He's looking for trouble, and when he stops in front
3:09
of room four nineteen, the odds are twenty to one will find it.
3:16
Yeah, I'm looking for Frank Pulaski. If you don't find him, it
3:20
because you didn't try the right place. You PLASKI, uh huh. My
3:25
name is Larry Barker, the bookie. I don't think we have to go
3:29
into that. Whatever you say, mister Barker, Sinna. Thanks. What
3:35
can I do you for him? That remains to be seen. Someone told
3:39
me you're one of the best private detectors in Chicago. Naturally, I ain't
3:44
going to deny it, but I always soon find out. Take a look
3:46
at this picture. You're not then that happens to be my wife. It's
3:51
even better. I don't like those kind of jokes, PULASKI sorry. Now
3:55
do you think you could watch it for me? I don't know why not.
4:00
The first name is Sheila, Sheila. Yes, I want to follow
4:02
day and night. I want to know everyone she sees. But everyone?
4:08
Can you handle it? Well, let's see if we understand each other.
4:11
Mister Barker, you suspect your wife's running around? Did I say that?
4:14
Why else would you want to stick a tale? Anna? That's none of
4:16
your business. Now, either you want the job or you don't want to
4:19
run into a lot of deals. Oh so what about in advance? No
4:25
dice, look for a job like this. I'll have to put on three
4:27
extra men. I don't care how many you put on in my business.
4:30
I only pay off on results. I don't do business that way, mister
4:33
Bodker, Well I do. In that case, we're both wasting time.
4:36
You got to find yourself another boy, and I got to find myself another
4:40
client. Let's hope we both know where to look. Oh, taxi,
4:53
taxi? Can I hope your honeyed taxi? You don't seem to be having
4:56
much luck. Maybe I'll do better call a car. Now, wait a
4:59
minute, baby, I'm not trying to pick that up taxi. I mean
5:00
it, missus Barker. Look, how did you know my name? Oh?
5:04
You'd be surprised that I know by you, Sheila. Maybe you'd like
5:08
to look at my curd Frank Pulaski Private Investigation. Your hobby was in to
5:14
see me yesterday, Larry, What did he want? This is no place
5:17
to talk now. Look, I got a brand new car right around the
5:20
corn. You can say anything you've got to write here. It's kind of
5:25
embarrassing, Shiller. I don't like to be seen taking money from a woman
5:29
in a public thoroughfare. What are you talking about? Well, naturally,
5:31
you can't expect me to divulge this kind of information for free. You're absolutely
5:36
right, mister Pulaski. So you keep your information and I'll keep my money
5:41
TAXI looks like I ain't going to make a buck from the Baker family.
5:45
No harm, but I like you better than I do your husband. Thanks,
5:47
No, I mean it. If I were you should, I'd watch
5:50
my step. Larry's checking up on you. You're a lying NOPs. A
5:54
matter of fact, I did a little checking on you myself. Why you
5:57
can not take it to you as far as I can and learn you never
6:00
want step out of line the matter what that husband he is anyway, be
6:03
out of his mind. You may be right, how are you, honey,
6:06
I'd never put up with it. Thanks for your advice, mister Pulaski.
6:11
I'll let you know if I take it that just a second, I
6:26
said, just a second, what's the idea? Oh? Hello, you
6:32
must be John J. Malone. I ain't young doctor. Your office told
6:36
me i'd find you here. They have orders not to tell anyone that,
6:39
so your secretary said. But when she noticed I was a blonde, she
6:43
seemed to think it made a difference. I kind of think of it.
6:45
She's right, Come on in, lover, the name is Barker, Missus
6:47
Barker. I don't like to be formal with my clients. What makes you
6:51
think I'm going to be a client? You mean this is a social call.
6:55
It's even better sit on, Thank you cigarette, No thanks, if
7:00
you don't mind, mister Malone, I'd like to get right down to business.
7:02
All you pretty women are alike? Okay, Sheila? When do you
7:06
want me to start suits? When do I want you to start suit?
7:10
Well? Don't you want a divorce? How did you know that? Didn't
7:12
they tell you? I was amazing? How did you know I wanted a
7:15
divorce? Well, you announced yourself as missus Barker, and then I took
7:17
a look at your left hand, that little white ring of flesh told me
7:20
you were wearing a wedding band till a couple of hours ago. That's pretty
7:24
obvious. It always is after someone points it out. What's your husband do?
7:28
He's a betting commissioner. You wouldn't be married to Larry Parker. Yes,
7:30
I'm impressed. I hope you do as well on your next marriage.
7:33
There's not going to be a next marriage. I just want a divorce.
7:38
I don't even want alimony. Why have you ever been married to a jealous
7:42
man, and not recently. I am not clowning, mister Malone. Sorry.
7:46
Larry and I were married six years ago, and ever since the first
7:48
day he suspected the worst. Does he have reason? No? You know,
7:53
I believe you. Thanks, that's quite all right. But if Larry
7:57
had no cause to be jealous, why is it? I don't know,
7:59
and I don't care. He's killed everything I ever felt for him. He
8:03
even tried to hire a private detective to keep tabs on me, a man
8:07
named Frank Puleski. That was the final story. I don't blame you,
8:11
but suppose Larry won't agree to a divorce? What then? I thought you
8:16
were the lawyer. That's right. I am all right, Chila. I'll
8:20
let you know when I do about something. And in the last three weeks,
8:31
yes, there can I help you? Larry Barker in, Well,
8:35
he's very busy. He can't be that busy. Al Donald's here. What
8:41
is it, joyce a gentleman to see mister Barker. He wants to speak
8:43
to you personally. His name is Al Donaldy. We'll send him right in.
8:48
Please go in. Thanks? Where do I go? What are you
8:52
right? Glad to see you, mister Barker. What have you got?
8:58
Plenty? I told you my outfit to livers the goods. Lucky he didn't
9:01
get yourself sided up with that, Frank VELASKI, Oh, what's the story?
9:03
That's what you thought? Your wife's been seeing some guy on the slide.
9:07
I knew it. I knew it. Spent practically the whole afternoon in
9:09
his apartment. Who is he? John J. Malone? A lawyer and
9:15
you know his rep I've heard a couple of stories. Well, yeah,
9:18
just a case of putting two and two together. All right, donnelly beat
9:22
it? What about my check? I'll nail it on. I luck,
9:26
mister Barker, what's the matter? Don't you trust me? Odd deal called
9:30
for something quite different. I'll just for that. You'll wait, Joyce show
9:35
him out. I have a mind and find my own way out. What
9:41
happened? Nothing? That wasn't the impression I got listening at the door,
9:45
So you were eavesdropping. I guess I should be ashamed of mine. I've
9:48
got a good mind, Oh you have, Larry, Mine's the one that's
9:50
bad. I think at nine years I would have gotten smarter. What are
9:54
you babbling? About it. It was just reminiscenty do it on your own
9:56
time. I don't have any time of my own. Every minute belongs to
9:58
you. Remember. Are you going to stop that again? Yes? I'm
10:01
entitled to know where I stand. You've been stolen me long enough, nine
10:05
years, nine rotten years. Well now you got ground for a divorce.
10:09
I heard what that Donnelly said, she lives been running around with Malone.
10:15
You didn't actually think I was going to marry you? Yes, I did
10:20
this, stupid little fool. While Sheila is worth a million like you,
10:24
no better than I am, as Malone, you keep your mouth shut,
10:28
understand. Don't you dare say a word about her. I only hope mister
10:33
Malone is his gallant. Don't give it a thought, Joyce, he won't
10:37
talk. I'll see to that personally. It's just one of those crazy things.
10:56
To one of those bells that now and that rings, jos one of
11:00
those alone. It was, how did you get mere? What difference does
11:05
it make? Shut the door? I take it that gun is loaded.
11:11
What do you think it proves conclusively? I should never show up at my
11:13
office as long as I stay in my apartment. Yes, you do,
11:18
all right, there. Don't you come again. I understand you and my
11:22
wife had a nice little talk today. Oh you must be Larry Barker.
11:24
How did you get it's figured? How long have you been carrying on with
11:30
Sheila? How long have I want you hurt me? Yeah? But I'm
11:33
sure I misunderstood you think your wife and me. Yes, you've got a
11:37
real nasty mind. You tell me something, Barker, How do you get
11:41
like that? The way I see it, either you once took a beating
11:43
from some woman or old body puts anything over on me? And I got
11:48
another theory. You must be playing around yourself. An sure, I bet
11:52
that's it. So because you can't be trusted, you don't believe anybody else?
11:56
Can I guess that means I'm right? Euh, you're gonna stay away,
12:00
Sheila? You who's gonna make me? Do you think you gotta kick
12:07
coming? You're absolutely right? Malone? All right, come on, Malone,
12:20
it's time to rise and shine. Are you gonna lay there and panthy
12:24
yourself? Oh? Oh, just open those big brown eyes and look.
12:33
Oh that wouldn't be Lieutenant Brooks, give nod. What are you doing here?
12:37
Now? That's no way to talk to a man who saved your life.
12:39
Oh save my life? Sure, while you were out cold, I
12:43
sampled some of your licky. You know that stuff could kill help me if
12:46
I were you, kiddo. I stay right there and they save you.
12:48
Another trip down? All right? Who did this job on you? Never
12:50
mind? Marry Parker, wasn't it. I'm psychic about Bark. You'll take
12:54
care of him. Couple of boys down at headquarters think you did already?
12:58
Yeah, yeah, I find his body twenty minutes ago with three slugs in
13:01
his brain. Oh no, oh yes, and you'll die when you find
13:05
out who they think put of me. You want to put your head on
13:09
Malone? Oh would you go like that? You are listening to the amazing
13:18
mister Malone. It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC now Sunday. We've got more
13:30
shows that promise to deliver the tops in mystery adventure listening. For example,
13:33
Tom Conway stars as that always Debonair gentleman adventurer Simon Templar alias the Saint.
13:39
Then there's Dimension X with stories of science fiction, tales of the universe as
13:45
it might be in the future, and a little later, join mister Moto
13:48
in his latest adventure. Yes, Sunday means great listening for you with the
13:54
Saint Dimension X and mister Moto all over this NBC station. And now back
14:01
to the amazing missed the Malone. It just goes to prove you should never
14:18
sleep in the daytime. Here Larry Barker tucked me in. When I awoke,
14:22
a police lieutenant named Sidney Brooks was standing over me. I couldn't make
14:26
up my mind which was more frightening Brooks news or his face. But no,
14:28
matam malone, you look unhappy. Let me get this straight. Lut
14:31
you got it straight. Larry Parker has been murdered and you think lots of
14:35
possibility. You had to run in with him when you found me. I
14:37
was unconscious. How do I know you weren't face? What are you getting
14:41
so excited for? I said it was a possibility. The probabilities are something
14:46
else at you. It was your trouble with Barker. Oh you had some
14:50
screwy idea. I was horsing around with his wife. Weren't you? No
14:54
slipping? This is not the Malone I know and love. Sheela came to
14:56
me to get her a divorce. Why she got another guy on the string.
14:58
Oh, she just in the stomach, Larry anymore. He was crazy
15:01
jealous. I saw he probably never would have let it go. Well,
15:03
that problem's over now, you know. I hate to disagree with your counselor,
15:07
but I think her problems the first beginning. I don't see how you're
15:09
not looking in the right places. You say Barker was crazy jealous. He
15:13
would afforded divorce, so she took the other way of getting rid of it.
15:16
You're crazy, you know. I would have bet you'd say that whenever
15:20
you were stuck for a name, I told you she didn't kill a lieutenant?
15:22
Where is she not? Where else would she be in the brig?
15:24
Now, how in the world did you ever forget that? As you know,
15:28
I guess you were amazing. All right, Malone, let's go.
15:41
I didn't kill him alone. You've got to believe that. I'm sorry.
15:45
I can't make it unanimous, Brooks. Why don't you use your head for
15:46
a change. Why don't you you admit her husband would have fought the divorce.
15:50
How would he know? I was getting one, Malone? Tone,
15:52
I did not. He thought our relationship was purely social, all right?
15:56
She told that's not true? And when Larry said he wouldn't let you go.
15:58
You let it have it. You don't believe that yourself, but she's
16:02
here, Edgie, and I must believe. Look, Sidney, you got
16:03
this all wrong. What was Barker killed? Six o'clock tonight? All right,
16:07
Chila? Tell him what you were doing at that time? I was
16:10
watching television? Oh what you said? Don't be so cute? All right?
16:12
All right, Sheila, where were you watching this? You should excuse
16:15
the expression television at home. It's funny you didn't see your husband's murder.
16:21
I guess, sir Milton Burrow was much more exciting. Oh wait a minute,
16:25
I forgot at about a quarter of six, I went out for a
16:29
war. Oh come now, honey, you can do better. Why don't
16:30
you give that tongue of years arrest? Listen, Chila, did anyone see
16:33
you while you were on? No? Well, when you got back to
16:36
that, she never got back. We picked her up on Madison in Van
16:38
Buren. That's the police for he always molesting innocent bystanders. Yeah, that's
16:41
a sweet beat her too, Sessman, and I took turns. I got
16:45
tired. I want to just scout around and found out who else who had
16:47
an inpro Barker. He got me suggestions. Yeah, Larry was playing around
16:51
on the side. I don't believe it. Of course he was. He
16:52
practically admitted in my office. That's why I was ready to believe the worst
16:56
of you to justify himself. Well, assume me and mark you, I
17:00
say, assume me. I hear there was another woman. So what we'll
17:03
know that? What when you find her? You mean, when you find
17:06
her you expect me half. I've done my partlem alone, I found Shiela.
17:11
You'll get your own girl. Who there? Who's there? Hi?
17:23
Joyce? Got your nerve? That's what they all say. Mister. I
17:27
don't know who you are, but if you don't get out of here,
17:30
you call a cap Yes, the number is State four eight nine five six.
17:37
What are you waiting for? Who are you? Pulaski? Is my
17:41
name? Frank Pulaski. I'm a private dick, you know, like the
17:45
falcon? What do you want? Okay? Why don't I sit down?
17:51
So this is what they call a love nest? What do you mean by
17:53
that? Nothing too bad about your boss? My boss, Larry Bonker?
18:00
Somebody done him in good lion, I think, So here you take a
18:04
look at this headline bookie killed in Gold Coast apartment Lawrence Barker, better known
18:11
Oh no, well that's the way it goes, Larry. Is this why
18:19
you came here? Not exactly. You see, the cops think his wife
18:23
knocked him off. They're crazy. Well, she seemed like the best bed.
18:27
Of course, you and I know better. What do you mean,
18:32
Well, Barker came to my office yesterday to hire me to keep tabs on
18:34
his missus. That's a lie. He hired al Donnelly. Sure, but
18:40
that was only after I turned him down. Now he was a tough man
18:42
to get a buck out of it. You think his wife would be more
18:45
generous? Huh? Well, I thought she at least would let me have
18:48
a hundred for tipping her off what was going on? But no, So
18:52
then I thought, of you, I don't understand, Pulaski. Well,
18:56
I wondered why a guy like Barker would be watching his missus when she never
19:00
won straight off the reservation. Then it occurred to me that maybe he liked
19:04
to put on the war paint himself. I wouldn't know. Are you kidding,
19:07
Joyce? Who would know better? Are you suggesting get out. Oh
19:14
no, you don't want to take that attitude, Sweeten. My guy said
19:15
this was only a theory. Now for five hundred clams, I'd be willing
19:19
to forget it get out. If I do, I'll go straight to Malone.
19:25
I don't care where you go. Well, you can't say later that
19:29
I didn't give you a chance. I'll bet your ten Malone will be willing
19:32
to take it. Yeah, Hi am alone. Oh I know you no,
19:48
but think what you've been missing. I wanting to pass it up.
19:49
I'll be making a great mistake. Counselor, you're representing Sheila Barker, aren't
19:55
you. Well? How'd you like to get her off? Maybe you better
19:59
come in? Hey, your lawyers do all right? I don't believe you
20:04
mentioned your name. I don't believe I did. It's Pulaski, Frank Polanski.
20:08
Oh, don't something you heard of me? Only this afternoon, Sela
20:11
Barker told me you were working for her husband. She got the story twisted.
20:15
He wanted me to go to work, but I couldn't see it.
20:18
We couldn't get together on a feet. That's tough, tougher than you think.
20:22
Imagine me sitting here with everything I know and what do you know?
20:26
What five hundred feet? I suppose I told you the baka was playing around?
20:30
I figured that out for myself. Yeah, but I know her name.
20:33
Wouldn't she pay off? Well? You must have braced her first.
20:37
You know you're pretty cute. How about you say that to all the boys?
20:41
Who's the girl? Let me see the color? You don't come,
20:42
onski? Who's the girl? I asked you? Who's something? I don't
20:47
ever do that again? Oh? Tep me? Now what's your name?
20:52
Well? Joyce, Joyce Crane, wouldn't be trying to kill me with you
20:55
when I not? If you on your right mind, where can I find
20:56
her? That comes to thanks a lot, Pulaski. You've been a great
20:59
health. It's okay, counsel. The pleasure was on mine. You'll be
21:02
surprised to what I'll do for you in the future. Hello, whatever you're
21:17
selling, mister, I'm not interested? Do you know you see my line?
21:19
Take my chance? You can't afford to Joyce? Aren't you being just
21:23
a little bit familiar? What do you think about? Obnoxious? Now?
21:26
Wait? Do you know me better? My name is Malone, so well,
21:29
let me get myself my full building it's John J. Malone, attorney
21:32
in consted law. All right for you, I come in. You can
21:34
say everything you want to right there. Everything. Look, you're not fooling
21:40
me, Malone. I know Pulaski's been to see you. Oh. I
21:42
kind of hope you would be a surprise. No, he announced his intention
21:45
as he left. I see, I see something else. What Harry Barker
21:51
was right, You wouldn't have made him a good wife. You're much too
21:52
possessive. What you careful? It may be kiddies listening, but you are
21:56
possessive. You proved it when you killed him. Get out, so you're
22:00
forgetting lover. I am out. You never invited me in, mister big
22:06
mouth. I had to go and remind you. Hey, buddy me,
22:18
Yeah, I wonder if you could settle an argument for me and my friend.
22:22
What is it? He says here, John J. Malone, Well,
22:26
and I got a gun that says you're going to get in this car.
22:29
Who's right? Apparently both of you get in. You fellows ought to
22:36
be ashamed of yourselves. You're just confirming whatevery stranger thinks about your cargo.
22:40
Things like this don't happen anymore. They Yeah, I guess they do.
22:45
Well? Whose lap do I sit on? Oho, Holly and watch him?
22:51
You know, I got a friend who won't believe this. He's a
22:52
police lieutenant. Think of that. You're not even impressed. You think it's
22:57
feelings will be hurtsolutely. So I tell him, you talk too much?
23:03
Small You may be right? Should I am? I? I don't know,
23:07
I talk too much too? All right, Wally, Let's find a
23:11
nice quiet spot. But instead of all this dialog, we can get a
23:17
little action. You are listening to the amazing mister Malone. It's the Silver
23:33
Jubilee. On NBC Sunday, the NBC Symphony inaugurates its nineteen fifty one summer
23:37
concert series. Conducting the orchestra will be the world renowned Alfred Wallenstein, with
23:42
the Chris Mancel glamorous Opano of the Metropolitan Opera as guest soloist. Also in
23:48
the Sunday listening lineup is another visit with the Blandings. The Blandings, as
23:52
portrayed by Betsy Drake and Kerry Grant, are the proud but somewhat harried owners
23:56
of that famed dream house. The NBC Symphony Summer CONTs and mister and Missus
24:00
Blandings show our only two of the fine programs heard Sunday as part of NBC
24:06
Silver Jubilee, and all back to the amazing mister Malone, Well that's life
24:22
for you, obviously. Somewhere along the line, I put my foot in
24:26
it. Five minutes after while he found his nice quiet spot. That same
24:29
foot was around my neck. The next thing I knew, I was the
24:30
police headquarters. And then it begun to rain. But I was the only
24:34
one getting wet. Lieutenant Brooks was in charge of the downfall. Cut that
24:40
out you want to draw? I thought that would bring you around. You
24:41
didn't have to do that. It was too good an opportunity to waste his
24:45
towel. Thanks to get to the back of your neck, Malone, you're
24:48
not dry behind the ears. Oh that's a good one. How'd I get
24:51
here? Anyway? A proud car found you in Evans, recognizing you as
24:55
my comrade in arms. They brought you here. Why didn't they take me
24:57
to a hospital? What a scot them? If they head? Where's Sheila
25:00
Barker? I wish he'd been for the past twelve hours. You gotta let
25:03
her go. What do you think did this job on me? You tell
25:04
me you were there. Well, I don't know their names, but they
25:07
were obviously hired by the same party who killed Larry Barker. If you want
25:10
to discus, I wouldn't care to hear it. How low you already picked
25:12
him up. One is Wally Forbes and the other is a boy named Tony
25:15
Ferrara. How do you know they're the right one? They admitted it.
25:18
Oh, well, then we shouldn't have any trouble getting them to confess that
25:21
Joyce hired him. That I don't. Look, they're friends of Frank PULASKI.
25:26
Yeah, yeah, they were just doing them a favorite. I don't
25:29
get it, Brooks. I just don't get it. When you would if
25:32
I had my way, I tell you Sheila didn't kill her husband right.
25:34
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I just thought us. Oh no,
25:37
not again. What does it take to stop you? Parker had a
25:40
private dick working for him, but last year, no, this was another
25:41
boy named what was his name? How should I know? Well, Joyce
25:45
Crane would what do you say we go up and see her? Look,
25:48
Look, you know you've had a tough day. Now, Why don't you
25:51
let me drive you home. What's the point? There ain't no gal there
25:53
No Joyce runs a much livelier spot. Let's try it anyway. Hello Joyce
26:12
again, I wouldn't slam the door lover. This time I brought along a
26:15
friend. This is Lieutenant Brooks. How you do look, Lieutenant? I
26:18
don't know what Malone told you. That's just the trouble. He didn't tell
26:21
me a thing. Maybe you can help out. May we come in?
26:22
No? I think we'd better. Is that an official request? But I
26:26
didn't flash my badge. Look, why can't we keep this on a friendly
26:30
basis? Well I don't like him me. Hey, the girl's got taste,
26:36
thank you. Now, what do you want to know? Well,
26:40
mister Malone here has come up with a very interesting theories. You see,
26:42
Joyce, there's one character in this little drama we've forgotten. Now, you
26:47
don't believe that Chila killed Larry Barker, do you? Yes? I do?
26:51
You've changed your mind. It's a woman's prerogative. Well, let's hold
26:55
Chilea in a veyance for a while. But getting back to this character we've
26:57
overlooked. What's the name of the private Larry hired? I mean PLASKI?
27:02
Oh no, PLASKI never went to work for him. This is the boy
27:03
who actually did the job, the one who tailed Chila to my apartment.
27:06
Al Donnelly, Donnelly, that's the name. That's you gotta do with this.
27:08
Well, let's suppose Larry never paid him for the job. He didn't,
27:12
and that gives Donnelly a motive. You're crazy. The only reason Larry
27:15
didn't pay him is because he was busy. Donnelly expected to be paid right
27:19
there and then. No, Larry had a right to check and see whether
27:22
his information was the McCoy. Once Larry found out Chila was retaining you to
27:26
get her divorced, he agreed to pay off. How do you know that?
27:30
Because Larry told me as much, And as your theory, Tyla killed
27:33
him. She knew she'd never be free any other way. You already want
27:37
to see her burn, don't you? Most certainly DoD thirsty little girl ain't
27:41
Why what do you say? I say it's about time you did something.
27:45
What are you mumbling about? She's the one we want. That's possible too,
27:48
but it doesn't alter the conclusion. You kill Larry Parker. Yes,
27:52
all right, Brooks, fool everybody and make like a police lieutenant. Hey
28:11
Malone, Oh, what's trouble, little man? Something bothering you? Yeah,
28:15
you're breathing. Why did Joyce kill Black? I told you that at
28:18
the beginning she was in love with him and she was getting older every day.
28:22
Now, what's that supposed to me? She's been going with him for
28:23
nine years, always deluding herself. At some day, Marrier and she finally
28:27
woke up. He was kidding him slugs? Yep? Had she discovered that
28:33
from Barker's actions here? He thought his wife was giving him a dose of
28:36
his own medicine. And he still refused to let Shila go. But you'll
28:38
never guess what clinched him want Yeah, probably not well. When Larry came
28:42
to my apartment, he accused me of running around with Sheila. He slugged
28:47
me before I had a chance to tell him Sheila merely retained me to get
28:49
a divorce. Yeah, but Joyce came. Larry told her that, which
28:52
proved conclusively she was lying. Well, all I can say is all that
28:56
publicity certainly went to your head. What are you talking? Well? Time
29:00
magazine said you were a great novelty. Oh that a guy who doesn't get
29:03
bopped on a naggin, but it certainly proved them wrong. Today they also
29:07
said you were a great switch for a radio cop, that you seem to
29:10
know your business. Say, have any doubt about that? Well, show
29:12
me where you did so great here? Well, that's easy. I'd put
29:17
Hila Barker in jail and you were the one who got around. You're done
29:19
to Yeah, but now that she's out, where is she? Hey,
29:25
that's right, I owt a caller for a day. You'd be wasting your
29:29
time causetantly. You mean she's going out with you? Yeah, you know.
29:33
I guess I'm pretty amazing myself. Then time alone. You ever heard
29:48
the story of the great athletes? This boy went in for field events.
29:52
He used to put the shot. One day, he put it in the
29:56
wrong place. I'll tell you all about it next week. So why not
29:59
pick me up at my office same time. I'll be waiting for you nights.

George Petrie was starred as John J. Malone with Larry Haynes as Lieutenant
30:11
Brooks. Our program is written by Eugene Wang and directed by Richard Lewis.
30:15
The Amazing Mister Malone is based on the character created by Craig Rice and produced
30:21
by Bernard L. Schubert. The events and characters in this story were entirely
30:23
fictional. On any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental. This
30:29
is Fred Collin speaking the amazing mister Malone has come to you from New York.
30:36
Stay tuned for the man called X next over most NBC stations, Welcome
30:48
back. Well, look, the balog in this episode was just wow.
30:52
It was really probably some of the most over the top, hard boil dialogue
31:02
we've heard in just a real in a really long time, and I loved
31:07
it. Just a lot of clever terms, very nicely done, and kind
31:15
of cute how they worked. In the review from Tom Magazine, Oh,
31:19
I could almost find the Tom Magazine review somewhat surprising, because we know this
31:25
was essentially the same show, only with different stars as the nineteen fifty series
31:32
on ABC, but ABC was not as widely watched by Americans, and perhaps
31:37
it wasn't watched as widely by television reviewers or radio reviews. Excuse me anyway
31:44
to listener comments and feedback. Patrick says of our star George Petray, loved
31:48
him in The Honeymooners, and he did actually have a recurring roles in the
31:59
Honeymooner series, most notably apparently as fred Freddie Mueller, but did other roles
32:07
as well. Appeared in fourteen of the Classic thirty nine. One way or
32:13
another. I've seen a few of the Honeymooners, but that's on one of
32:16
my list of things to do is to watch all of the classic thirty nine.
32:22
Haven't quite made it yet, but we'll get there one of these days.
32:25
All right, Well, that will do it for today. We will
32:29
be back tomorrow as the Shepherd matter continues, and then join us back here
