Speaker 3: peace and quiet. But a pair of angry eagles changed
2:27
Speaker 3: all that. One was solid golden, too close to a
2:30
Speaker 3: betted copse. The other weigh one hundred and sixty pounds
2:33
Speaker 3: and was too quick with his fists.
2:35

3:42
Speaker 4: Oh kidding, Yeah, but he's in trouble.
3:43
Speaker 6: Come on out where you feel. Clover Lake's only twenty miles.
3:45
Speaker 6: You can be here by six, just outside of Malibu,
3:47
Speaker 6: up on the hill.
3:48
Speaker 4: What's your boy's trouble? Baby plenty?
3:50
Speaker 6: And it could end up being his life. Not step
3:52
Speaker 6: on it film. Oh and listen, you're a sports writer
3:55
Speaker 6: from Detroit, not a private detective.
3:56
Speaker 3: You got it, got it, leave it now, babe. It
4:05
Speaker 3: was an hour's drive the Malibu Beach in a film
4:07
Speaker 3: colony where the convertibles out numbered the hot tops five
4:10
Speaker 3: to one, and another thirty minutes up into the mountains
4:13
Speaker 3: along a steep spiral of the cat on which at
4:15
Speaker 3: every turn made more of the Pacific below and less of.
4:17
Speaker 4: Malibu, until finally I was at the top.
4:21
Speaker 3: My right there was a dirt road which a freshly
4:23
Speaker 3: painted sign said led to Clover Lake Training Camp, Private
4:27
Speaker 3: Raleigh Lance owner. I drove on into what turned out
4:30
Speaker 3: to be a converted summer hotel marked office, A couple
4:33
Speaker 3: of buildings that had been stables, and maybe two dozen
4:36
Speaker 3: cabins spread out over a sloping green acre that led
4:38
Speaker 3: to a cliff's age in the lake some hundred feet below.
4:42
Speaker 3: When I pulled in and parked in a gravel semi
4:44
Speaker 3: circle which was close to a roofover boxing ring where
4:47
Speaker 3: a lot of mussels and sweatpants was making a punching
4:49
Speaker 3: bag sound.
4:50
Speaker 4: Like a machine gun.
4:51
Speaker 3: I saw a Babe Dirney coming taught me in ducks
4:54
Speaker 3: and white T shirt with an angry fighting eagle.
4:56
Speaker 4: As in Danny.
4:58
Speaker 3: It was more a bay window and less hair. Yeah
5:00
Speaker 3: the last time, but still the same quick smile under
5:03
Speaker 3: her nose that spread over half his face and extended hands.
5:06
Speaker 4: He could have passed for a catches made a feeling
5:09
Speaker 4: he didn't take any longer. Things are worse, Oh, Danny
5:11
Speaker 4: got canned and now are gone. He's burn enough. Told
5:14

Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, huh, don't go away mad. My hobby always
11:38
Speaker 9: runs out on people.
11:40
Speaker 2: Even private detectives, slip sid busy, even knight. Indeed, I
11:45
Speaker 2: made it up. I never even heard of Detroit.
11:48
Speaker 4: Why did you beat the trap.
11:51
Speaker 2: Lands? The jealous jerk is threatened to hire a detective a.
11:53
Speaker 11: Half a dozen times. Uh, after all this fuss over
11:56
Speaker 11: Danny Eagle, you were about due.
12:00
Speaker 2: Well shall we walk? It's a nice night.
12:03
Speaker 4: Let's leave it that way. Eh, what do you mean,
12:07
Speaker 4: isn't Danny enough for one day?
12:09
Speaker 11: Listen, mister, you're starting off with two left feet. I
12:11
Speaker 11: was friendly with Danny Eagle period, the same, only Steve
12:16
Speaker 11: was a little dull, a mind dedicated to comic books.
12:20
Speaker 4: All fighter not according to his last above.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rocco moved like he was drugged and collapsed in
12:26
Speaker 2: a third. So it's my fault. Oh, the big shot
12:29
Speaker 2: is quite a loser. And don't bother with your next question.
12:32
Speaker 2: I can feel it coming. Why have I stuck?
12:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it belongs here someplace.
12:35
Speaker 2: Well, I've stuck because well, because I thought that each
12:41
Speaker 2: battle was going to be out last It's sooner or
12:44
Speaker 2: later he'd have time for me.
12:45
Speaker 4: It's a busy guy.
12:46
Speaker 11: So it was King Solomon, but he always had room
12:48
Speaker 11: for his wife. I thought this place was going to
12:53
Speaker 11: be our answer, just the two of us plus the
12:56
Speaker 11: peace and cry of the country was malleble on hand.
12:58
Speaker 2: For a change of pace. So what happens?
13:02
Speaker 4: Still busy? Huh?
13:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, so busy.
13:04
Speaker 11: It spends eight hours a day with Jess Witherwax the
13:06
Speaker 11: guy never heard of until he started this camp, but
13:08
Speaker 11: a guy who thrills to the lives and loves of
13:11
Speaker 11: Rodiy Lamp. And that leaves me with his daughter, Clementine.
13:15
Speaker 11: If I don't talk to the fighters. Clementine, whose shoes
13:19
Speaker 11: are number nine with an iQue to match.
13:22
Speaker 2: Good Night.
13:22
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Admira, where are you going?
13:25
Speaker 2: Going as far as my cabin?
13:27
Speaker 11: And an old fashioned cry or maybe just an old
13:30
Speaker 11: fashion I don't know which.
13:31
Speaker 2: Good Night, ad.
13:38
Speaker 4: Myra pivoted on a spiked heel and stopped off. Unto
13:41
Speaker 4: the dog.
13:42
Speaker 3: I knew that I had to move fast, because when
13:44
Speaker 3: next she and Hubby met, the fact that I was
13:46
Speaker 3: a private detective was going to become public domain, and
13:50
Speaker 3: from there on out I'd be of little use to
13:51
Speaker 3: Babe Derney, and if Lance's muscle playmates caught up to me,
13:54
Speaker 3: of no use to anybody. I located Danny Eagle's cabin
13:58
Speaker 3: among half a dozen others, peeking out of a thick
14:00
Speaker 3: grove of pepper trees, showing light from a half open door.
14:14
Speaker 4: Hey, anybody home?
14:21
Speaker 3: Inside there was a closed valise on the edge of
14:23
Speaker 3: the only bed, and on the dress of some money,
14:25
Speaker 3: a package of lemon life savers in a thigh class,
14:28
Speaker 3: a gold one with a gold angry eagle on it
14:30
Speaker 3: that said Danny was still around.
14:33
Speaker 4: Then he got the top for himself. I think you're
14:36
Speaker 4: in the wrong cabins. I haven't takated yet. Well, don't
14:41
Speaker 4: you think it easy all the way around? If you
14:43
Speaker 4: did Danny?
14:43
Speaker 2: Right now?
14:44
Speaker 4: I'm not looking for the easy way, mister. I've been
14:47
Speaker 4: walking and thinking about that. That and a pair of people.
14:50
Speaker 2: I don't like a pair.
14:51
Speaker 4: I want to square myself with mister and missus Rawleigh Lance. Oh.
15:04
Speaker 3: It was purely a case of mistaken identity, but it
15:08
Speaker 3: served as a reminder that it still took two to
15:10
Speaker 3: make a fight. The only chance I had left was
15:14
Speaker 3: to get next to Raleigh Lance and keep him away
15:15
Speaker 3: from Dan Eagle. I spent a half hour going from
15:19
Speaker 3: the lodge to Lance's empty cabin, of the dining room,
15:21
Speaker 3: and every other place where I thought he might be. Finally,
15:24
Speaker 3: I remember Jess Weatherwax, the one man fan Club, whom
15:27
Speaker 3: I located back up at the office.
15:29
Speaker 4: Hell it was peeling off his coat and getting ready
15:32
Speaker 4: for Canasta.
15:33
Speaker 3: Was something uncombed and built like a length of pipe.
15:36
Speaker 3: Who had to be daughter Clementine.
15:38
Speaker 4: What can I do? Mister Weatherwax? Have you seen Lance?
15:41
Speaker 8: I know, missus Marlow we just came in you deals
15:46
Speaker 8: is important?
15:47
Speaker 4: Very Oh?
15:48
Speaker 7: Excuse me child, mister Marlow My daughter, Clementine, how.
15:53
Speaker 4: Do you do?
15:54
Speaker 2: Very fine? Thank you, mister Marlow. Oh's babe Gurney.

Speaker 4: Excuse me, Phil, come with me quick. What's wrong? Lances?

16:41

Speaker 3: and all alight out of rolley. Lance and as we
17:17
Speaker 3: stared down at in the circle of light from the
17:18
Speaker 3: electric land and Dave Jerney's hand began to dance over
17:21
Speaker 3: the cops. I took the land and turned him away
17:24
Speaker 3: from the twisted body at his feet, and sent a
17:26
Speaker 3: back of the path to camp, find a phone and
17:28
Speaker 3: quietly call the police.
17:31
Speaker 4: After that, I took another quick look at all that
17:33
Speaker 4: was left to the little big shot.
17:35
Speaker 3: I went up the path myself and got as far
17:37
Speaker 3: as the jagged hole in the rail where Lance had
17:39
Speaker 3: gone through, just enough time to see a few things
17:42
Speaker 3: before I was met by Myra, just like she'd been before,
17:47
Speaker 3: except for a handful of nervous fingers that just couldn't
17:50
Speaker 3: leave her neck line alone.
17:51
Speaker 2: I saw a baby tell me about Raleigh. Is the truth?
17:54
Speaker 4: It's true? All right? Your husband's dead. They've just left.
17:57
Speaker 4: So you must have been on your way here when
17:58
Speaker 4: you ran into him.
17:59
Speaker 2: How come I had a date to meet my husband
18:04
Speaker 2: for a check?
18:04
Speaker 4: Why here? He didn't strike me as being the romatic type.
18:07
Speaker 2: He wasn't. Neither was he the type to talk where
18:09
Speaker 2: he could be overheard, especially when he was cornered.
18:12
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
18:13
Speaker 2: I put Raleigh's back against the wall to night.
18:15
Speaker 11: I finally got hold of a way to make that
18:16
Speaker 11: inflated ego turn loose, his favorite trinket, meaning you yes.
18:21
Speaker 4: Allow.
18:21
Speaker 2: About an hour ago I found out that Raleigh was crooked.
18:24
Speaker 4: Fist fight.
18:24
Speaker 8: Yeah.
18:26
Speaker 11: When I left you off, I went to our cabin
18:28
Speaker 11: for a drink, but the liquor was all gone. Plants
18:31
Speaker 11: kept spare bottles in the back of his closet.
18:33
Speaker 4: So I went to look.
18:33
Speaker 2: Fun what a briefcase? Wasn't Raleigh? So I opened it.
18:37
Speaker 11: There was thirty five thousand dollars in it and a
18:40
Speaker 11: note congratulating him on his coaching of Steve Rocker. Rocer
18:45
Speaker 11: was drugged in that last fight Marlow. Raleigh sold him
18:47
Speaker 11: out and I can prove it.
18:48
Speaker 3: Oh that's what you two were going to hash out
18:51
Speaker 3: over here. Huh the price of your silence, which was
18:54
Speaker 3: divorced and no strings.
18:57
Speaker 4: For me.
18:58
Speaker 2: He wanted to think that he was going to give
18:59
Speaker 2: me his answer, but out it's all unnecessary.
19:04
Speaker 4: You're so right, I recommend I want to show you something.
19:10
Speaker 4: See here on the ground, What do you.
19:14
Speaker 2: No?
19:15
Speaker 3: I don't see an somebody put up quite an argument
19:17
Speaker 3: right here before Lance went through the railing.
19:20
Speaker 9: Yeah.
19:22
Speaker 4: Yes, and here's something else.
19:25
Speaker 2: What's that man?
19:26
Speaker 4: The gold Tie class baby.
19:27
Speaker 3: With an eagle life, Danny, Yeah, Danny Eagle. It's changes
19:33
Speaker 3: things funny.
19:33
Speaker 7: Huh, Danny.
19:36
Speaker 2: I can't believe Danny would murder Rally.
19:38
Speaker 3: You better start believing it and get back to your
19:40
Speaker 3: cabin and stay there with the doors and windows locked.
19:43
Speaker 3: You are half the beef now that he's gone this far.
19:46
Speaker 3: Chances of good he's got something nice thought up for
19:48
Speaker 3: you too. Unless I'm making the king size mistaken, you
19:52
Speaker 3: and Danny.
19:53
Speaker 4: Turn out to be a team.
19:54
Speaker 2: Are you crazy?
19:54
Speaker 3: It could figure both ways, baby, So I'll keep it
19:58
Speaker 3: in mind until I get something more to do with it. Meanwhile,
20:01
Speaker 3: like I said, take care of yourself. I dropped the
20:08
Speaker 3: Thai Class into my pocket and started looking for its
20:10
Speaker 3: owner who could be number one candidate for a noose.
20:13
Speaker 3: I decided to try Danny's cabin first, But when I
20:15
Speaker 3: got there, it was dark, with everything.
20:17
Speaker 4: Just as I'd left it.
20:19
Speaker 3: Until I turned to go, someone was framing the door.
20:24
Speaker 3: It was a gentleman farmer, a Novis fight fan, Jess Weather.
20:27
Speaker 2: Weegs having special monom.
20:30
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I am I figured you would.
20:33
Speaker 7: Be what would being a reporter because because I know
20:36
Speaker 7: there's been some kind of a ruckus here tonight.
20:39
Speaker 4: How did you know there was trouble here?
20:41
Speaker 7: What I happened to be passing by a certain phone
20:43
Speaker 7: a few minutes ago, and I heard that trainer, Babe
20:46
Speaker 7: Journey calling the police.
20:49
Speaker 3: Okay, as long as you know that much, you may
20:50
Speaker 3: as well of the rest. Somebody cheved the bus of
20:53
Speaker 3: this place.
20:53
Speaker 4: I throw a railing into one hundred feet of thin air.
20:56
Speaker 7: He's dead or Lance murdered by one of his own men,
20:59
Speaker 7: or no, I don't believe he's a good Managers boys
21:03
Speaker 7: loved him, every one of them.
21:04
Speaker 3: You should be so loved, especially by a guy like
21:06
Speaker 3: Danny Danny Eagle none other.
21:08
Speaker 4: And that's only half of it. You're a good manager.
21:11
Speaker 3: Mister Lance was a fight fixer, one who even drug
21:14
Speaker 3: his own stable to be sure to lose. He was
21:15
Speaker 3: as crooked as a hyenas back leg.
21:18
Speaker 8: He rearrings boxing.
21:19
Speaker 3: Fats, putting it mildly. His own wife, Mayra pinned that
21:22
Speaker 3: on him just tonight. She didn't go into detail.
21:24
Speaker 4: She didn't have to.
21:25
Speaker 3: She had enough proof to make it stick because she
21:27
Speaker 3: was getting a divorce on the strength of it.
21:28
Speaker 8: Oh, I find it mighty hard to believe. All is
21:30
Speaker 8: mister Marlowe.
21:31
Speaker 4: There's something else. I'm not a reporter.
21:32
Speaker 3: I'm a private detective called in by Babe Derney because
21:35
Speaker 3: he was worried.
21:35
Speaker 4: Now I am anyway, Here's what I'm getting at.
21:39
Speaker 3: If you're really sincere about liking your violence, according to
21:41
Speaker 3: Marcras of Queensbury rules, you can do.
21:43
Speaker 4: Me a big favor. What can I do? Keep an
21:46
Speaker 4: eye on Myra Lance for me? Uh huh. She left
21:48
Speaker 4: her in the cottage, Dan Eagle, maybe only half finished
21:50
Speaker 4: with what he started.
21:51
Speaker 8: I'll do my best. You can count on that set.
21:53
Speaker 4: Okay.
21:54
Speaker 3: I'm going up to the office of the lodge now
21:55
Speaker 3: and find out if anyone saw Danny leave the grounds.
21:57
Speaker 4: I'll see it.
22:16
Speaker 11: Oh, hello there, mister Marlowe to get enough story material
22:20
Speaker 11: from the box fighters for a.
22:21
Speaker 4: Couple of novels. Clementine, you alone here and now.
22:26
Speaker 2: My daddy and I were playing Canasta, but he left
22:29
Speaker 2: a while back, went off without his coat too.
22:30
Speaker 3: See, I know you've been here in the office ever
22:33
Speaker 3: since then. Why yes, why, maybe you're gonna help.
22:37
Speaker 2: Me weirdly, but you've just got to help me. First,
22:40
Speaker 2: mister Morrow, have you got a cigarette paper?
22:44
Speaker 4: A cigarette paper?
22:45
Speaker 2: You know the macers? I'm trying to roll me a cigarette?
22:48
Speaker 9: Ran out of mind.
22:49
Speaker 5: I found my daddy's tobacco, and then I absolutely emptied
22:52
Speaker 5: his coat pockets here looking for a paper, but there
22:54
Speaker 5: wasn't any.
22:54
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have a Oh.
22:55
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm afraid not, Clementine, Here, I have one
22:58
Speaker 3: of mine, I in fact have two. Now my question,
23:01
Speaker 3: how did you happen to see Danny Eagle go out go.
23:04
Speaker 4: On out to what?
23:06
Speaker 2: Mister Marlow?
23:07
Speaker 3: Huh oh, never mind, listen, Clementine. Did this thing come
23:11
Speaker 3: out of your daddy's coat pocket too?
23:12
Speaker 2: That old ticket stuck?
23:14
Speaker 4: Yeah?
23:15
Speaker 2: How did that little pocket and the big one on
23:17
Speaker 2: the right side? It was, mister Morrow, what's wrong?
23:21
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I better find out right now.
23:30
Speaker 3: Because I ran out of the office and passed the
23:31
Speaker 3: ampty rope ring and told.
23:32
Speaker 4: Where the cabin stood.
23:34
Speaker 3: I was full of the conviction that clover Lake Training
23:36
Speaker 3: Camp was due for a second copse any minute.
23:38
Speaker 4: Only this time I knew that some fast adjectives I
23:40
Speaker 4: myself had tossed off and not a hot headed fighter.
23:43
Speaker 3: Were playing cause and effect. As I made for the
23:45
Speaker 3: door of the Lance cabin. There was no help in
23:47
Speaker 3: the fact that my volunteered god, Jess Weatherwax, was nowhere
23:50
Speaker 3: in sight.
23:51
Speaker 4: I called Myra's names twice and still got no answer.
23:54
Speaker 3: So I stepped back to go to work on the
23:55
Speaker 3: door with my shoulder and the lock turned from inside.
24:00
Speaker 2: What is it, Mala?
24:02
Speaker 4: What are you doing here at the moment? Myra, Baby?
24:06
Speaker 3: I'm counting lucky stars that kind of kept you hail
24:08
Speaker 3: and haughty in spite of me in my big.
24:10
Speaker 2: Mouth, I'm I'm afraid that I don't know what you mean.
24:15
Speaker 3: I mean I almost spilled all, including the clincher, which
24:18
Speaker 3: was where you could be located. All this minds you
24:20
Speaker 3: to the guy who know that was in it, Woul Lance.
24:22
Speaker 3: Right up there was Adam's apple. The fact that you're
24:24
Speaker 3: still breathing means that he must have given up and.
24:26
Speaker 4: Beat it because of that top or I sent him
24:28
Speaker 4: here to God. You say, what's the matter. Aren't you
24:31
Speaker 4: even curious?
24:33
Speaker 2: Why? Yes, sure, of course, don't move.
24:38
Speaker 7: Oh no, you have a talent for stupid audacity. And
24:43
Speaker 7: man Meyer's still breathing because up to the point where
24:46
Speaker 7: you knocked on this door. She still didn't realize my connection.
24:49
Speaker 7: But when you shut up, I couldn't take a chance.
24:51
Speaker 7: I was forced to bring this gun into things and
24:54
Speaker 7: wait behind the door. Obviously you both know, and I was.
24:58
Speaker 4: So relieved you still that frank enough to open the door. Myra.
25:01
Speaker 4: I stepped in shin first, and was happy about it.
25:04
Speaker 4: I was afraid to warn you I'll let you all
25:07
Speaker 4: move with a wax. Well, let it be.
25:09
Speaker 8: I have no choice.
25:11
Speaker 4: You have a lot of bodies to crawl out from
25:12
Speaker 4: underbusting that.
25:13
Speaker 8: Would be too hard.
25:14
Speaker 7: Dan's already framed for Ralli, his madam, framed by home
25:18
Speaker 7: by Rowley Lands himself. Such a simple little plan.
25:22
Speaker 8: I worked at that as I worked out everything else
25:24
Speaker 8: around here.
25:26
Speaker 4: Just for the record, how is it supposed to go?
25:28
Speaker 7: Once myyer knew about Rawley, she became dangerous to me.
25:31
Speaker 7: She had to be killed, So I told him how
25:33
Speaker 7: to set up the whole thing. You know, you're really
25:36
Speaker 7: enjoying yourself, aren't you, Frankly No, or I just don't
25:40
Speaker 7: intend to take the wrap for my late partner's stupid clumsiness.
25:44
Speaker 8: Oh but this has gone fine enough.
25:46
Speaker 4: Hey, he's got.
25:54
Speaker 8: And I still got a good right hand. My boy, Hey,
26:00
Speaker 8: stop it.
26:02
Speaker 4: Off, Hey, we're there, high off, hiy off, I tell you,
26:05
Speaker 4: my on, he's got to tell us the rest. Come
26:09
Speaker 4: on with a wax talk. What actually happened on the
26:11
Speaker 4: path of the.
26:12
Speaker 7: Lake wowls set up frame on dani Is. I told
26:18
Speaker 7: him to her by planning that eagle tig class at
26:21
Speaker 7: the weak spot in the rear, and then he made
26:24
Speaker 7: a lot of marks.
26:25
Speaker 4: In the path like there had been a fighter go ahead.
26:28
Speaker 7: And after that he went over to kick the rear loose.
26:30
Speaker 7: He tripped and he fell because of those shoes of his,
26:34
Speaker 7: with the hard, slick souls and build up heels.
26:39
Speaker 8: Silly little man.
26:53
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't long until the boys from the Sheriff's
26:55
Speaker 3: office arrived with a good doctor, a lot of open notebooks,
26:59
Speaker 3: and an endless supply of questions.
27:03
Speaker 4: But finally all the pieces were fitted together.
27:08
Speaker 3: Very surprised, Danny Eagle, who had done a lot of thinking,
27:11
Speaker 3: was back from a second long walk, and the whole
27:14
Speaker 3: thing had boiled down to me alone at the bedside
27:17
Speaker 3: of a heavy jawed trainer. What a happy look on
27:20
Speaker 3: his ugly posts for the first time that night, My.
27:23
Speaker 4: Boy's going to be champ now Marlow. Thanks to you, Oh,
27:26
Speaker 4: thanks to you, babe. We were almost down for the
27:29
Speaker 4: count when you showed up. Hey, how's the shoulder that? Hey? Look,
27:34
Speaker 4: tell me something. How'd you back old Weatherwacks into that corner? Oh? Well?
27:39
Speaker 3: I found a ticket stuff from his coat pocket with
27:42
Speaker 3: a number A two on it. Weatherwick's claimed that he'd
27:44
Speaker 3: never seen a fight or met Lance until the camp
27:47
Speaker 3: opened up here, but that stub proved that just a
27:50
Speaker 3: month ago he sat right beside Lance.
27:53
Speaker 4: That's right, Dan's always head. She wanted the arena checked.
27:58
Speaker 4: In short, Weatherax was a liar who dropped his god,
28:02
Speaker 4: and in this rect you do that just once and
28:05
Speaker 4: you're out. He see that the eagle keeps his God up,
28:09
Speaker 4: will you, babe? I'm gonna be betting on him from
28:12
Speaker 4: now on. I don't give it another thought. Good night, Phil,
28:17
Speaker 4: And I didn't give it another thought. Neither did I
28:21
Speaker 4: think about an arrogant little guy who was phony heels
28:25
Speaker 4: and twisted.
28:25
Speaker 3: Mind that dumped him into his own trap, or about
28:29
Speaker 3: a fat gambler who traded in perverted victories and rotten,
28:33
Speaker 3: hopeless defeats. Instead, I thought about the sun coming up
28:38
Speaker 3: over the hills and a nice big platter with a
28:42
Speaker 3: ham on with on him, and then a good solid eight.
28:46
Speaker 4: Hours sleep, nothing else. You know, sometimes I think I
28:54
Speaker 4: have no soul.

Speaker 1: Welcome back. I have to admit that some of the
