00:00:00The End
00:02:00It was an era when some wealthy society matrons lied with each other for the company of these Napoleons of organized crime.
00:02:07In between drinks, traffic became congenital.
00:02:10Some shady lawyers made fortunes defending their, well, their distinguished clients.
00:02:26The verdict?
00:02:27Not guilty, of course.
00:02:30But some lawyers were not so successful.
00:02:33Oh, hello, Johnny.
00:02:48Hello, Will.
00:02:48Hey, where's your furniture going?
00:02:51Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
00:02:52It's going back to the finance company.
00:02:54Finance company?
00:02:55Well, I loaned you the money for the payment last week.
00:02:58Well, I had to entertain some prospects.
00:03:00Oh, sit down.
00:03:03Hello.
00:03:03Yes, this is attorney Will Allen speaking.
00:03:07Oh, now, look, lady.
00:03:08Your boyfriend got off easy thanks to me.
00:03:12Well, he only got a year.
00:03:13Oh, well, I'm sorry.
00:03:17I did all I could for him.
00:03:18Goodbye.
00:03:20Oh.
00:03:22Oh.
00:03:28You lost again, huh?
00:03:31Oh, it was a hopeless case.
00:03:33Yesterday, you said it was such a cinch.
00:03:35Didn't even have to prepare the case.
00:03:37Johnny, the law is a bottomless pit.
00:03:39Well, the guys you defend, it is.
00:03:41Twelve cases and twelve guys go to jail.
00:03:45What are you trying to do, make me lose confidence in myself?
00:03:47You've got too much confidence in yourself.
00:03:49Maybe if you prepared a case once in a while, you might win it.
00:03:52Stop worrying, will you?
00:03:53I want to move to larger quarters anyway.
00:03:55Money brings money.
00:03:57Why, all I need is one outstanding criminal for a client,
00:04:00not these small-time petty chiselers.
00:04:03Here, get the back.
00:04:05In the meantime, you can take me out to dinner.
00:04:07No, I can't.
00:04:08I've got a date.
00:04:09A date?
00:04:10You?
00:04:11Who was the frustrated little woman?
00:04:13She's not frustrated.
00:04:14This Judy Parker, you remember her.
00:04:17She lived on our block for years.
00:04:19I don't know her.
00:04:19She must have been one of the goons.
00:04:21She's very nice.
00:04:24Oh, this is going to be great,
00:04:25listening to her dull chatter all evening.
00:04:26You aren't going to listen to her.
00:04:28You aren't even coming with us.
00:04:30And I used to tell myself,
00:04:33Judy Parker is the most beautiful girl in the block.
00:04:37Why, Will Allen, you never even looked at me.
00:04:39I didn't.
00:04:40Ask Johnny.
00:04:41I'm always talking about you.
00:04:42He, uh...
00:04:43Sure.
00:04:43I was telling him in the office.
00:04:45You sure were.
00:04:46Oh.
00:04:46Take care of that, will you, Johnny?
00:04:52My hands are full.
00:04:54Now, this is for you to remember me by
00:04:56while I leave for just a few minutes
00:04:57to make a very important phone call.
00:05:00Thank you, Will.
00:05:01Uh, take care of her for me, will you, Johnny?
00:05:03I've got to tie up a few loose ends on a case I just finished.
00:05:06Finished is right.
00:05:07The guy went to jail for a year.
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:10Criminal law must be terribly exciting.
00:05:14I'm glad you brought Will along tonight.
00:05:16I didn't bring him.
00:05:17I couldn't get rid of him.
00:05:20I wanted to be alone with you tonight, too, Judy.
00:05:24Say, by the way, I'm having a little fashion show tomorrow.
00:05:28Would you like to come?
00:05:29Oh, I'd love to.
00:05:30Of course, I know selling lingerie isn't very romantic.
00:05:33Not like criminal law, but...
00:05:35There's nothing wrong with selling lingerie.
00:05:37I'm glad to hear you say that, because...
00:05:40Well, you remember that promotion I told you about?
00:05:43Mm-hmm.
00:05:44I got it.
00:05:45No.
00:05:46Oh, that's wonderful.
00:05:47Sure.
00:05:48Uh, you know, with a promotion like that,
00:05:50a fella could, uh, do a lot of things.
00:05:53He could...
00:05:53He could build a home and raise a...
00:05:56That is, if...
00:05:59How do you feel about marriage?
00:06:02Well, I think it's wonderful.
00:06:03For anyone who wants to get married.
00:06:05Well, you know, I've only been out with you a few times,
00:06:08but each time, I've wanted to ask you...
00:06:10Uh, I've wanted to ask you...
00:06:14Yes?
00:06:17Would...
00:06:17Would...
00:06:18Would you like to go to a movie tonight?
00:06:21Well, I'd rather not, if you don't mind.
00:06:23I'm a little tired.
00:06:24Yeah, I'm a little tired, too, I guess.
00:06:27You're tired, Johnny?
00:06:28Yeah.
00:06:28Why, look at the boy, he's all in.
00:06:30Look, Johnny wants to get some sleep,
00:06:33so why don't we go somewhere and dance?
00:06:35No, thanks.
00:06:36Perhaps some other night.
00:06:37You don't know what you're missing.
00:06:38You're passing up Nijinsky's shadow.
00:06:40She'll live.
00:06:41Well, tomorrow's another day.
00:06:44Yeah, I've got a busy day, too, tomorrow.
00:06:46Do you like it?
00:07:01Oh, it's lovely.
00:07:02What's it called?
00:07:03Uh, Dawn.
00:07:08What's the number on that?
00:07:11621.
00:07:13How many, please?
00:07:14A half a dozen assorted sizes.
00:07:25She's a lovely model.
00:07:27She's not half as lovely as you are.
00:07:40What's the number?
00:07:41Name 4385.
00:07:43419.
00:07:44Say, Judy, I wanted to ask you if...
00:07:48Johnny, can we go now?
00:07:49We've showed them practically everything.
00:07:52You have?
00:07:53Oh!
00:07:54Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:07:55It's okay.
00:07:56Go.
00:07:57I'll see if he has any.
00:08:00Uh, what I was going to ask you is...
00:08:02Johnny, do you have any of these with lace inserts?
00:08:05Oh, yeah.
00:08:06Yeah, sure.
00:08:07Here.
00:08:07Now, look.
00:08:10I never could get anywhere rubbing two sticks together.
00:08:13Huh?
00:08:14What were you going to say, Johnny?
00:08:15Oh, I was going to ask you...
00:08:17Come on, Johnny.
00:08:18Goodbye, girls.
00:08:19Look, John.
00:08:20There's Louie Maroney, big Maroney's brother.
00:08:23Say, Johnny, I like your neighbors.
00:08:25Hmm?
00:08:26You ain't doing nothing, kid.
00:08:28Let's do it together.
00:08:30Come on, John.
00:08:31Who are they?
00:08:35Oh, some hoodlums who visit an out-of-town big shot in there.
00:08:39One of them's rather good-looking.
00:08:42Hiya, Judy.
00:08:43I'm sorry I'm late.
00:08:44What are you late for?
00:08:45Well, I was tied up in court.
00:08:46Honey, would you excuse us for just a minute?
00:08:48Sure.
00:08:48Huh?
00:08:49I want to talk to you.
00:08:49Oh, excuse us.
00:08:50Here.
00:08:51What?
00:08:52What is it?
00:08:52I got great news for you.
00:08:53You have?
00:08:53I'm going to pay you back all the money I owe you.
00:08:55Oh, you're fooling.
00:08:56No, how much is it?
00:08:58Well, now, let's see.
00:08:59Um...
00:09:00Here.
00:09:02Uh, beginning with the $2 I loaned you in high school,
00:09:05it's exactly $849.07.
00:09:08I'll have it for you tomorrow,
00:09:10just as soon as I swing a big deal I'm working on,
00:09:12which I need $20.
00:09:13Oh, no, no, no, wait.
00:09:15Wait.
00:09:15Why, aren't you going to lend it to me?
00:09:17Well, I can't afford not to.
00:09:20Let's see.
00:09:21Five, ten, twenty.
00:09:25Thanks a lot.
00:09:26Well, Judy, are you ready?
00:09:28Your display was beautiful, Johnny.
00:09:30Thanks for inviting me.
00:09:31Oh, you're not leaving.
00:09:32I thought you were going to have dinner with me.
00:09:35No, you didn't mention it.
00:09:36So when Will called me this morning,
00:09:38I told him I was free.
00:09:39Oh.
00:09:40I'm sorry.
00:09:41Shall we go?
00:09:42Call me soon, will you?
00:09:44All right.
00:09:44Bye.
00:09:46Bye.
00:09:46What's the matter, baby?
00:09:52You look as if you just lost your last lace applique.
00:09:55Uh, here's two bucks.
00:09:56That covers the high school debt.
00:10:00Oh.
00:10:01Would you like to have dinner with me tonight, Millie?
00:10:04Your enthusiasm is irresistible, Johnny.
00:10:07And I know just the movie I want to see, too.
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:09Why, you two-time-and-right.
00:10:35I take a trip to the border, and you...
00:10:37Wait a minute, dead van.
00:10:39This is fantastic.
00:10:41It is not.
00:10:42It's true.
00:10:43It's based on the life of Big Maroney.
00:10:45Public enemy number 21.
00:10:47Yes.
00:10:48Now, there's a guy.
00:10:50Now, that's for nothing.
00:10:52The next time, I'll put an extra eye on your head.
00:10:55Another thing.
00:10:56Stay away from those cops.
00:10:59I understand you're getting friendly.
00:11:01I didn't rat on your boss, I understand that.
00:11:03Shut up.
00:11:03You got him wrong, dead van.
00:11:05I tell you, you got him wrong.
00:11:07You talk too much.
00:11:10Oh, no.
00:11:13Now, just because I like you, I sent you them little presents.
00:11:17Three cases of uncut scotch.
00:11:19But I don't like any of my dollars running low, see?
00:11:21Oh.
00:11:22That's good, Millie, on that, dead van.
00:11:23Let's go, Millie.
00:11:25Oh, and leave this.
00:11:26Are you crazy?
00:11:27This guy's my type.
00:11:28That guy?
00:11:29Lots of women go for men like him.
00:11:31Well, Judy doesn't.
00:11:33Oh, Judy's no different.
00:11:34She likes men who assert themselves.
00:11:36But he's a roughneck.
00:11:38And he gets a lot of roughnecking, too.
00:11:40Way to make sure.
00:11:41You ought to be more like him.
00:11:44Please, Millie, let's get out of here.
00:11:47Look, little boy, you go on home.
00:11:49I want to see the rest of this picture.
00:11:50Oh, but I can't leave you here alone.
00:11:52I'll be okay.
00:11:53I'll take a candle.
00:11:55Well, you sure you'll be all right?
00:11:57Sure, sure.
00:11:58Thanks for everything, Johnny.
00:12:00See you in lingerie.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:01See you in lingerie.
00:12:19Ain't he the cat's whiskers?
00:12:21Oh, boy.
00:12:22He sure knows what he wants.
00:12:24And gets it.
00:12:26Oh, boy.
00:12:28Wish I could find a guy like that.
00:12:30So, women go for mugs like you.
00:12:46They like them tough.
00:12:49Well, I can be tough.
00:12:51Okay, Mushnose, start them hens climbing.
00:13:06Fire.
00:13:07One more move out of you and your middle name is lead.
00:13:10See?
00:13:12Okay, Mushnose.
00:13:13You asked for it.
00:13:15Bowie!
00:13:15Ah, you talk too much.
00:13:25All right.
00:13:25You've been asleep?
00:13:27Oh, boy.
00:13:27I'm shocked.
00:13:28I'm kimono.
00:13:28Wish?
00:13:29Yeah, I was shocked.
00:13:29I'm not as few.
00:13:29I'm a bitch.
00:13:30How much?
00:13:30You went to a bitch.
00:13:32I'm a bitch.
00:13:32Oh, boy.
00:13:33Oh, boy.
00:13:34You were born as a bitch.
00:13:34Oh, boy.
00:13:34I was a bitch.
00:13:35Oh, boy.
00:13:35Yeah, I was.
00:13:36I was a bitch.
00:13:36Oh, boy.
00:13:37Yeah, I was a bitch.
00:13:38Oh, boy.
00:13:38Yeah, I was a bitch.
00:13:38Oh, my God.
00:14:08Give me, sir. Have you a table reserved?
00:14:38Main, 97840.
00:14:51Now, look, Alan. I don't like my dolls running around loose, see?
00:14:55Next time, I'll put an extra eye on your head.
00:15:00Just a minute, bud.
00:15:02Oh, that's all right. I got all the time in the world.
00:15:05Now, look, I don't want to have to rub you out, horseface.
00:15:08But one more slip out of you and...
00:15:11Okay.
00:15:18Okay.
00:15:18Okay.
00:15:18Most fellas always win, even in telephones.
00:15:48Double bourbon, uncut.
00:15:55He's a big-time operator.
00:15:57Gloria, I'm scared.
00:15:59Perhaps we shouldn't have left the party.
00:16:01They'll be wondering where we went.
00:16:02But you wanted to meet some of these characters.
00:16:04Oh, I do, but...
00:16:06That was terribly clumsy of me.
00:16:10Watch your step, sister.
00:16:13I'm terribly sorry.
00:16:15We both are.
00:16:18My name's Gloria.
00:16:27What's yours?
00:16:30Look, sister.
00:16:32Why don't you stick to the nice boys?
00:16:35Nice boys bore me.
00:16:45But you look awfully important.
00:16:48I do.
00:16:49Mm-hmm.
00:16:52Look, sister.
00:16:53I tell you what.
00:16:54I'll buy you a drink.
00:16:57Bartender.
00:17:00Champagne cartel.
00:17:02Her, too.
00:17:03I'll get in.
00:17:04Oh, good evening, Mr. Maroni.
00:17:06Pierre?
00:17:07Mr. Maroni, stay.
00:17:08Good evening, Mr. Maroni.
00:17:09Good evening.
00:17:10Good evening, Mr. Maroni.
00:17:11Good evening, Mr. Maroni.
00:17:12You'll be in this way.
00:17:25It's out.
00:17:28A bottle of the good stuff.
00:17:30Very well.
00:17:33We ought to consider the Mabouche proposition.
00:17:35It's out.
00:17:36But they can't do any harm. They're small-time.
00:17:38Mabouche has worked itself up into public enemy number 24.
00:17:41So what, boss?
00:17:43So we let them work the northwest side.
00:17:45And from that, we get a commission.
00:17:47It's a good deal.
00:17:48Tell me, who am I?
00:17:50You're Big Maroney, public enemy number 21.
00:17:54Public enemy number 21 don't make deals with public enemy number 24.
00:17:59Tomorrow morning, you take care of Mabouche.
00:18:01That's your job for tomorrow morning, little Joe.
00:18:05Remember that.
00:18:06Okay, boss.
00:18:08Now check the lick in the joint.
00:18:11So, here you are, Mr. Maroney.
00:18:22That ain't none of my stuff, is it?
00:18:23Oh, no, Mr. Maroney.
00:18:25Good.
00:18:26Can't make no chances with my stomach.
00:18:28So like that.
00:18:28Hey, that dame over there by the bar, who is she?
00:18:36Oh, one of the young society ladies, looking for trouble.
00:18:40Yeah?
00:18:41That dame's got class.
00:18:45Check those hats, will you?
00:18:47God save me.
00:18:48Something wrong?
00:19:01That man over there is flirting with me.
00:19:04Point him out.
00:19:06Right there.
00:19:10Be right back.
00:19:11That's for nothing, see?
00:19:31Did you see that little squirt?
00:19:38Oh, you were wonderful.
00:19:40I just wish she was a bit bigger.
00:19:43Tell me, who am I anyway?
00:19:47You're Big Maroney.
00:19:49Public enemy number 21.
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:51Let's get out of here.
00:19:55When there might be a fight over me, I feel like Helen of Troy.
00:19:59Okay, Helen.
00:20:00Stay and launch your ships, but I'm going.
00:20:03I'm afraid we'll have to go.
00:20:04Okay, babe.
00:20:06Keep your nose clean.
00:20:07Okay.
00:20:09Lock the doors, boys.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:21Hey, you.
00:20:23The big fellow wants a word with you.
00:20:25What big fellow?
00:20:27Him.
00:20:28Maroney.
00:20:29Maroney?
00:20:32Maroney?
00:20:34He?
00:20:35He's Maroney?
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:40No.
00:20:42Oh, gosh.
00:20:42Oh, gosh.
00:20:48Oh.
00:20:49Oh.
00:20:50Oh.
00:20:51Oh, gee, I...
00:20:55You're still alive.
00:20:57Wise guy, huh?
00:20:58Oh, Mr. Maroney, I didn't know it was you.
00:21:00Honest, I didn't.
00:21:01What you did was slow suicide.
00:21:04Oh, Mr. Maroney, you wouldn't.
00:21:05You know, I saw a picture about you tonight.
00:21:08There was something about it I really liked, Mr. Maroney.
00:21:11One thing.
00:21:12It showed you for the good sport you really are.
00:21:15That scene where you forgave that guy, it got me.
00:21:18It really did.
00:21:20Right here.
00:21:22Yeah, that was a good scene.
00:21:24Just like me.
00:21:26I'm going to give you a break, son.
00:21:28Oh, gee, thanks.
00:21:29Sit down.
00:21:30I ain't going to kill you.
00:21:32No.
00:21:33Outright.
00:21:33Okay, boys.
00:21:36Make with the William Tell.
00:21:37William Tell.
00:21:38Oh, no, please.
00:21:39Oh, no.
00:21:43Look, fellas.
00:21:44Oh, shut up.
00:21:46Well, nobody can't say I never gave him a chance.
00:22:14You're too good-natured, boss.
00:22:16That's the trouble with you.
00:22:17Well, there's one guy I don't feel good-natured about.
00:22:20Mabuse.
00:22:21Remember that tomorrow morning, little Joe.
00:22:23You're looking good, kid.
00:22:33We want you to die clean, Mabuse.
00:22:35Look, little Joe, why do you want to do a thing like this to me?
00:22:38Nothing personal, Mabuse.
00:22:40Nothing personal.
00:22:40Well, that's what I mean.
00:22:41You keep saying nothing personal.
00:22:43Where's your profit?
00:22:44What you was trying to say?
00:22:45Well, I'm just trying to say you ought to make a profit.
00:22:47You got me interested.
00:22:50Highly interested.
00:22:52Well, it's very simple.
00:22:53Look, I'm ambitious.
00:22:56Right now, I'm public enemy number 24,
00:22:58and I'd like to become public enemy number 23,
00:23:02which means that maybe public enemy number 21 should step down.
00:23:07Are you suggesting that my boss ought to be deceased,
00:23:11big moroni and a bit cherry?
00:23:12It pays good.
00:23:15It pays very good.
00:23:17It could be a grand down and a grand BD.
00:23:22BD?
00:23:23Body delivered.
00:23:25Make it 15 yards down and 15 COD.
00:23:28You made yourself a deal.
00:23:31How soon?
00:23:32Soon as I make one little stop on the way.
00:23:36This one's on me.
00:23:39And little Joe,
00:23:40don't cross me.
00:23:42Now, would I cross anybody?
00:24:08I didn't understand yet, Chuck.
00:24:10I couldn't find it in myself to understand you.
00:24:14I didn't think you realized what you had done.
00:24:17I realize it perfectly, Angus.
00:24:20I agreed to pay Mr. Little Joe a commission of $500
00:24:22for locating the ingredients of a funeral.
00:24:26We ain't had a good funeral in three months.
00:24:29That's too much for the funeral, Mr. Mabou.
00:24:31He's nae but public enemy number 24.
00:24:35And besides which,
00:24:37his following is in the northwest side.
00:24:40And as you well know, Joe,
00:24:41the northwest side is nae a good funeral town
00:24:44for dice and stud poker.
00:24:47Aye.
00:24:47But it's nae good for funerals.
00:24:51You're mighty hasty with your fault finding.
00:24:56But might I ask you whose idea it was
00:24:58to salvage and use the same casket
00:25:00over and over again?
00:25:01It was yours, Chuck.
00:25:02And a good one.
00:25:04But Mr. Mabou's nae what?
00:25:06Are we making a profit
00:25:07on Mr. Mabou's funeral?
00:25:09Ah, we're making a profit.
00:25:11A wee profit.
00:25:13Well, do we always have to make a big profit?
00:25:16Chuck.
00:25:17To thinking we have radical in the family.
00:25:26Aye.
00:25:27Mr. Little Joe would like to see you, Mr. Angus.
00:25:30Maybe he's arranged the ingredients already.
00:25:32He works fast.
00:25:34Send them on in.
00:25:38Hi, boys.
00:25:42Good morning, Mr. Little Joe.
00:25:46I got to thinking about our proposition.
00:25:49I got a change to make.
00:25:51I come for more dough.
00:25:53More money?
00:25:54You've already taken advantage of us through Jock,
00:25:57charging $500 commission for Mr. Mabou's.
00:26:00This ain't for Mabou's.
00:26:01It's for Big Maroney.
00:26:03Maroney?
00:26:05Public enemy number 21?
00:26:08Yeah.
00:26:09How close is he to needing a funeral?
00:26:12Close enough.
00:26:13He's got some people mad at him.
00:26:15Oh, well.
00:26:19Didn't I tell you he was a good man?
00:26:22Well, were there ever an argument, Jock?
00:26:24Well, boys, it's worth a grand more.
00:26:27And I'm letting you off cheap.
00:26:28What, man?
00:26:29To hear you talk,
00:26:30you think Mr. Maroney is one of the croonheads of Europe?
00:26:33Hey, are you making any cracks about my boss?
00:26:37Oh, he's a lot now, is he?
00:26:38He's right, Angus.
00:26:40This will be the biggest thing since the Chicago fire.
00:26:43We can root the funeral right through the business district.
00:26:46It's a bug.
00:26:49It's a bug.
00:26:58Where is this game?
00:27:00Right down the hall, boss.
00:27:02Where do you see these suckers?
00:27:03Strictly from off a banana boat.
00:27:05Yeah?
00:27:05I got it all set for you,
00:27:07just to walk in and take over.
00:27:08Gee, that's mighty nice of you, little Joe.
00:27:10It ain't nothing, boss.
00:27:11Tell you what,
00:27:12if anything should ever happen to you
00:27:14while you're using my employee,
00:27:15don't worry about a thing.
00:27:17I'll give you the swellest funeral you was ever at.
00:27:20Gee, you're an angel, boss.
00:27:22Think nothing of it.
00:27:28Hey, where is this guy?
00:27:35Oh, Judy.
00:27:46Judy, please.
00:27:47Johnny, Dill, I won't listen to another word.
00:27:49You have to listen.
00:27:50You were out with Alan last night,
00:27:51and you're going out with him again tonight.
00:27:53And what's wrong with that?
00:27:54I think he's nice.
00:27:56Oh, he just makes you think he's nice.
00:27:58That's a lawyer for you.
00:27:59Not even a good lawyer, either.
00:28:01He is a good lawyer.
00:28:02He isn't.
00:28:03Ask 12 hopeless cases.
00:28:05That's a lawyer.
00:28:28...
00:28:30...
00:28:31...
00:28:31Oh, Judy.
00:28:37Oh, hello, Mr. Dill.
00:28:38You got that nightgown for my wife, you promised me?
00:28:40It's in my sample trunk, Mr. McGough.
00:28:42I'll be right up.
00:28:43Now, look, Judy, please, I...
00:29:01Now, look here.
00:29:28You've got to get out of there, Mr. Moroni.
00:29:29Yeah. He's dead.
00:29:34Oh, just a minute.
00:29:36Look, Mr. Moroni, please, get back in.
00:29:39Look, you've got to get out of there.
00:29:40Moroni, please.
00:29:42Just a minute, I'm coming.
00:29:46Look.
00:29:49Mr. Moroni.
00:29:52Just a minute, I'm coming.
00:29:54Moroni.
00:29:58Just a minute.
00:29:59I'll be there.
00:30:06Moroni.
00:30:08Come in.
00:30:12Oh.
00:30:14Just dropped in to pick up that nightgown, Mr. Dill.
00:30:16Oh, well, I...
00:30:16I can't seem to find it, Mr. McGough.
00:30:19Oh, I...
00:30:19Well, I'll help you locate it.
00:30:21I haven't been a house detective for 22 years, you know, for nothing.
00:30:24Oh, I remember.
00:30:25Now, I saw it at the stock room.
00:30:27Uh-huh.
00:30:28Well, what's that?
00:30:30This is like the sample you showed me.
00:30:32Oh, it's too small.
00:30:33Well, this is it.
00:30:35So it is.
00:30:36Now, look, you take that right home to Mrs. McGough.
00:30:40You couldn't see it for looking, didn't you?
00:30:41No, I couldn't see it.
00:30:43Say, you know, how much applies to you, Mr. Dill.
00:30:45You know, my wife, she's certainly going to enjoy this little nap.
00:30:48Could you have a drink, please?
00:30:49No, no, no, thanks.
00:30:50I couldn't...
00:30:51It's just...
00:30:56Look.
00:31:03Oh, no.
00:31:04Oh, no!
00:31:04Please, don't you.
00:31:06Look, look.
00:31:06Mr. McGough.
00:31:07Mr. McGough.
00:31:08Yeah.
00:31:18Oh, yes.
00:31:45Come on.
00:31:46Come on, please, Mr. McGough.
00:31:47Now, please.
00:31:48Look.
00:31:49Come on.
00:31:49Look, please.
00:31:50Here.
00:31:50I...
00:31:51Here.
00:31:56Look, please, Mr. McGough.
00:31:57Please.
00:32:00Come on.
00:32:00Come on.
00:32:01Come on.
00:32:02All right?
00:32:04You killer, you.
00:32:06What?
00:32:07What are you talking about?
00:32:08The corpus delicti in the trunk.
00:32:10Why, there's...
00:32:11There's nothing in that trunk except for a few samples in this wax model.
00:32:15They...
00:32:15They kind of fell out.
00:32:18Hmm.
00:32:19Hmm.
00:32:27I better call that fellow in T-13 and tell him about his last batch.
00:32:32I'm sorry, Mr. Dill.
00:32:33It's all right.
00:32:34I'm very sorry, Mr. Dill.
00:32:36Believe me, I'm sorry, Mr. Dill.
00:32:37And please, please, don't tell anybody.
00:32:41I won't.
00:32:42Please.
00:32:44Well, I...
00:32:45I'd better call the police.
00:32:49No.
00:32:50No, they'd never believe me.
00:32:52They'd think I did it just to revenge last night.
00:32:54Oh, I...
00:32:56Got to get Maloney out of here.
00:32:58I...
00:32:58Hello.
00:33:04Hello.
00:33:04This is Mr. Dill.
00:33:06Look, would you ask the Herky Drive Yourself Company to send me a truck right away?
00:33:10Yes, and then ask a porter to come up to my room for a trunk.
00:33:14Hmm?
00:33:15How do I feel?
00:33:16Oh, I feel fine.
00:33:47Well, look who's here.
00:33:59If it ain't William Tell.
00:34:00Hello.
00:34:02What are you, moving or something?
00:34:03Just a few samples.
00:34:05Samples of what?
00:34:06Brew?
00:34:08Lingerie.
00:34:09Oh, lingerie.
00:34:11Say, maybe you got something that'll fit my doll.
00:34:13Let's open it up and see.
00:34:14I haven't the key with me.
00:34:18Well, then we'll bust it open.
00:34:19We gotta find the boys, Louie.
00:34:21We ain't got time to fool with this.
00:34:23Yeah, that's right.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:24Yes, huh?
00:34:28Oh.
00:34:29Come on.
00:34:35Okay.
00:34:36Careful now.
00:34:37Careful.
00:34:37Don't drop us.
00:34:39Oh, there.
00:34:40Come on.
00:34:41Here.
00:34:42Here, thanks.
00:34:43Gee, five bucks.
00:34:45Yeah, it's all right.
00:34:46Hey, you.
00:34:47Who?
00:34:48Me?
00:34:49Yeah, you.
00:34:50You don't think you're gonna get away with this, do you?
00:34:52We got laws, you know.
00:34:53I didn't do it, officer.
00:34:54I can explain.
00:34:55Explain nothing.
00:34:56You're blocking the sidewalk.
00:34:57Now, get out of here before I give you a ticket.
00:35:00Yes, sir.
00:35:01Sir.
00:35:01Bye.
00:35:02Bye.
00:35:03Bye.
00:35:22Bye.
00:35:23The End
00:35:53The End
00:36:23The End
00:36:53Can you come right away, Judy?
00:37:04You know where it is.
00:37:06The Algonquin Plaza.
00:37:08Yeah, right above Murphy's Laundry.
00:37:11Yeah.
00:37:11And hurry, will you please?
00:37:13I'm hungry.
00:37:13I'm hungry.
00:37:43I'm hungry.
00:38:13Who's there?
00:38:22It's me, Judy.
00:38:23Oh, just a minute.
00:38:29Come in.
00:38:33Genius.
00:38:33It's good to see you, Judy.
00:38:35Did you bring the food?
00:38:36Yes, here.
00:38:37Oh, boy.
00:38:38You know, I haven't eaten for six days.
00:38:40That's the only reason I called you.
00:38:42I didn't want to get you mixed up in this.
00:38:43Why did you do it?
00:38:44Hmm?
00:38:46Well, you don't think I'm the gangster, do you?
00:38:48I don't know what to think.
00:38:49You didn't kill Big Moroney because he wouldn't buy your lingerie.
00:38:52I didn't kill Moroney.
00:38:54Well, then why are you hiding out?
00:38:55Well, it's...
00:38:56Will Allen says you have nothing to worry about.
00:38:58Will Allen?
00:38:59Uh-huh.
00:39:00What's he got to do with this?
00:39:01He's going to defend you.
00:39:03Oh, he's going to defend me.
00:39:06Oh, no.
00:39:07No, I'm not going to be hopeless case number 13.
00:39:10You won't be a hopeless case if you're innocent.
00:39:12Oh, Johnny, listen to me.
00:39:14I don't want you living like this, a fugitive, always running from place to place.
00:39:18I am innocent.
00:39:19Well, then come back and prove it.
00:39:21Let me call Will.
00:39:23Please, for my sake.
00:39:26Oh, okay.
00:39:27Call him.
00:39:31Main 41011.
00:39:33Warren, tell him to bring another hamburger.
00:39:40Oh, hurry up with that sandwich, will you, Johnny?
00:39:42I told the reporters we'd be right down.
00:39:44We'd be right down where?
00:39:46Why?
00:39:47You're going to give yourself up on the steps of the city hall.
00:39:50The city hall?
00:39:51Oh, why can't I go down to a policeman on a corner?
00:39:54Oh, no.
00:39:55We've got to do this right, Johnny.
00:39:57Why?
00:39:57I planned a sensational surrender.
00:39:59Well, maybe it'd be better to do it more quietly.
00:40:01Well, no, they're waiting.
00:40:02Well, there'll be reporters, photographers, at least 100,000 people,
00:40:06and the mayor's going to be there.
00:40:08The mayor?
00:40:08Yes.
00:40:09Why, this is going to be the biggest surrender since Cornwallis.
00:40:12Will he have to go to jail?
00:40:14Only as a formality.
00:40:15I'll have him out of jail by morning.
00:40:17Mm-mm.
00:40:20Public enemy number 21 surrenders.
00:40:24Crowds watch killers surrender to justice at city hall steps.
00:40:29Isn't that great?
00:40:31Oh, what publicity!
00:40:33Will, I thought you were going to get me out on bail this morning.
00:40:36Red tape, Johnny.
00:40:37I'll have you out of this cell by tomorrow.
00:40:39It's been four weeks, and every day you've been telling me you're going to get me out tomorrow.
00:40:46Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:40:48Your trial starts tomorrow.
00:40:50Are you sure you can get me out from a trial?
00:40:52Well, look at that audience.
00:41:02Didn't I tell you?
00:41:03You're a celebrity.
00:41:04Yes, but for how long?
00:41:07Hello, Johnny!
00:41:08Doesn't he look menacing?
00:41:11Doesn't Johnny look terrible?
00:41:13I just can't believe it.
00:41:14Look at those women.
00:41:17And every one of them in love with you.
00:41:19The whole world loves you, Johnny.
00:41:21I can see 12 people who don't.
00:41:25Look at them.
00:41:27They've got bars in their eyes.
00:41:28So that's the guy that knocked off Nick Morelli.
00:41:33He must be tougher than he looks.
00:41:35You know, he still looks like a punk to me.
00:41:38He don't look trustworthy.
00:41:40His eyes are too close together.
00:41:44Everybody rise.
00:41:55Here hee, here hee, the circuit court is now in session.
00:41:57Honorable Richard R. Watson, Judge Presiding.
00:42:01Be seated.
00:42:08Spade versus Johnny Dill, alias Killer Dill.
00:42:12And you say you heard the defendant threaten the deceased?
00:42:16It was the night before the murder.
00:42:19He was talking on the phone.
00:42:21I don't want to have to bump you off, he says.
00:42:23But any more slip-ups and...
00:42:26I knew he meant...
00:42:27Your witness.
00:42:41Now, you say that my client said any more slip-ups and...
00:42:46Now, does that sound like the sort of thing that public enemy number 21 would do?
00:42:52Public enemy number 21, I object.
00:42:55It is not your place to object, Mr. Dill.
00:42:58It is for your lawyer to object.
00:43:00Well, I object to my lawyer.
00:43:02Well, we are sitting there in a blue cockatoo,
00:43:06minding our own business,
00:43:07when this vicious character come over and provoke injury on a boss by mashing his nose into his puss.
00:43:16And this called by the killer.
00:43:18He knew the corpus delicti was reclining in his trunk.
00:43:21And then...
00:43:22Until when my plant was turned, he whisked the evidence away from under my nose.
00:43:26I was the porter.
00:43:30Five bucks he gives me to help him load the trunk.
00:43:33Five bucks.
00:43:34I was robbed.
00:43:36That's in the bag, Louie.
00:43:38Yeah.
00:43:39That'll learn him to go around knocking off my brother.
00:43:41I will now call Miss Millie Gardner.
00:43:51Miss Millie Gardner, take the stand.
00:43:58Do you swear to tell the truth, all truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:44:00I do.
00:44:07Now, Miss Gardner, you have known the defendant for some time, I believe.
00:44:10Oh, yes, for years.
00:44:12He was only selling junior misses when I first knew him.
00:44:15And during this time, you've always found him to be a model citizen?
00:44:19Always.
00:44:20His disguise was perfect.
00:44:23It wasn't a disguise.
00:44:27Order in the court.
00:44:35Yeah, the trial's practically over.
00:44:37I still can't figure out the defense that Dill's lawyer's putting up.
00:44:40The wise money's betting 10 to 1 on Dill's conviction.
00:44:43He was wonderful.
00:44:44So calm and cold and brutal.
00:44:48So glamorous.
00:44:50I knew the minute I saw him, he was an important gangster.
00:44:53I haven't got a chance.
00:44:58I haven't got a chance.
00:44:59What are you talking about?
00:45:00I'm talking about my chances.
00:45:02The whole country is calling me public enemy number 21.
00:45:05Shh, quiet.
00:45:07I'll call Miss Judy Parker.
00:45:11Miss Parker, you have known the defendant for quite some time.
00:45:14Yes.
00:45:15Now, would you say that the defendant had the capabilities of a killer?
00:45:19Certainly not.
00:45:20And have you ever had any reason to suspect the defendant of leading a double life?
00:45:25Never.
00:45:26He was always kind and gentle.
00:45:29And even a bit timid.
00:45:31Timid?
00:45:32He talked mostly about settling down.
00:45:34Hmm?
00:45:34Said he wanted a home in the country and chickens and dogs.
00:45:39He was very sweet.
00:45:40And most considerate.
00:45:42Thank you, Miss Parker.
00:45:44Your witness.
00:45:54That's a very pretty picture you painted the defendant, Miss Parker.
00:45:58But, of course, we understand why you'd like to see this killer go free.
00:46:03I understand you've announced your intention to marry the defense attorney, William Allen.
00:46:08It'd be quite a feather in his cap if he won this case, wouldn't it?
00:46:10Oh, so that's what you were doing while I was in jail.
00:46:15Sit down, you fool, and shut up.
00:46:16What are you trying to do?
00:46:17Ruin me?
00:46:18Ruin you?
00:46:18I'll kill you.
00:46:19If I must die for murder, it's going to be yours.
00:46:22Order the court!
00:46:23I'll be separating these men!
00:46:25Order the court!
00:46:26Any more outbursts, and I shall hold you for contempt.
00:46:46Let us proceed with the case.
00:46:49May I ask the court a question, Your Honor?
00:46:51Request granted.
00:46:52The evidence shows that Maroney wore an 18 and a half collar.
00:46:57Yes, that's right.
00:46:59Would the court ask Mr. Allen what the size of his collar is?
00:47:03Well, 15 and a half.
00:47:05Then how could a man who couldn't choke a 15 and a half neck
00:47:08be able to break an 18 and a half neck?
00:47:12Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
00:47:42Have you reached a verdict?
00:47:43We have, Your Honor.
00:47:45Defendant will rise and face the jury.
00:47:56How does the jury find?
00:47:59Not guilty.
00:48:07I'm guilty.
00:48:08Oh, I'm not guilty.
00:48:11Oh, oh, no.
00:48:16Oh, he's gone.
00:48:19I want to talk to that mouthpiece.
00:48:21You wait for me.
00:48:24Innocent, huh?
00:48:25How do you like that?
00:48:27Not guilty.
00:48:28Well, he ain't going to get away with it.
00:48:30Leave it to me, boss.
00:48:32I'll get him.
00:48:35Alan?
00:48:35Yes?
00:48:37There's a pretty cute little trick you pulled off there.
00:48:40Part of the business.
00:48:40Just part of the business.
00:48:42You know, I could use a smart mouthpiece like you.
00:48:44Why don't you call me sometime?
00:48:47Mabuse?
00:48:49You know, that client of yours, that killer dill,
00:48:51must be a pretty rough boy.
00:48:54Well, you have to be to put Big Moroni out of business.
00:48:56That's what I mean.
00:48:58Maybe you could arrange a meeting.
00:49:00Yeah, I'll call you.
00:49:03Thanks.
00:49:04Thanks.
00:49:04Thanks a million.
00:49:05You don't remember me, do you, Mr. Allen?
00:49:19Oh, should I?
00:49:20Well, I started you on your career.
00:49:23Oh?
00:49:24I was your first client.
00:49:25Oh, really?
00:49:26Yes.
00:49:27I got a parking ticket, and you wouldn't let me pay the $5 fine.
00:49:31Oh, yes.
00:49:32But I appealed the case.
00:49:33And I got ten days in jail.
00:49:36I knew when you had things beginning to look so bad for that guy,
00:49:40he just had to be innocent.
00:49:42Sure he's guilty.
00:49:43Nobody believes otherwise.
00:49:45It was a trick defense.
00:49:46They must have rehearsed it for weeks.
00:49:47Yeah, that Allen's a smart lawyer.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52All right, Mabuse.
00:49:53I'll handle the whole deal.
00:49:54Right.
00:49:59That looks fine.
00:50:05Yes?
00:50:06Mr. Dill is here, Mr. Allen.
00:50:08Oh, send him right in.
00:50:11Hiya, killer.
00:50:13Oh, you folks run along, will you?
00:50:14I've got some business to talk over with the big boy.
00:50:17Sit down, old man.
00:50:20Well, how does it feel to be a free man?
00:50:22Free?
00:50:23The whole world still thinks I'm guilty.
00:50:26Well, you're not behind bars, anyway, thanks to my brilliant defense.
00:50:30Your brilliant defense convinced everyone that I'm public enemy number 21.
00:50:34That's why I sent for you to come up here.
00:50:36I fixed it for you to join Mabuse and his mob.
00:50:38Well, that's...
00:50:39Mabuse and his mob?
00:50:42Yeah.
00:50:43They want you to be their leader.
00:50:44I don't want to be their leader.
00:50:46Oh, now, look, Will, you know that I'm not a gangster.
00:50:50Ah, but they don't.
00:50:51They think you're a pretty tough hombre.
00:50:53Well, I...
00:50:54I'm not.
00:50:56Well, unfortunately, you're going to have to be.
00:50:58For your own protection.
00:51:00What do you mean, for my own protection?
00:51:02Louis Moroni is after you.
00:51:04Louis Moroni is after me?
00:51:06He's trying to square things for the murder of his brother.
00:51:08Oh.
00:51:08And he still thinks you did it.
00:51:10Now, joining up with Mabuse will give you not only protection, but prestige.
00:51:15No, no, no.
00:51:15I'd only get into more trouble.
00:51:17Now, look, look, please.
00:51:18I tried being a gangster for just one night, and look what I got into.
00:51:22No, no, Will.
00:51:24I am going back to selling lingerie.
00:51:27If you live.
00:51:30Louis Moroni can do what he wants.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:34Yes.
00:51:34Yes.
00:51:35Yes.
00:51:35Yes.
00:51:36Yes.
00:51:36Yes.
00:51:37Yes.
00:51:37Yes.
00:51:37Yes.
00:51:38Yes.
00:51:46Tell Mabuse I'll be right over as soon as I pack.
00:51:49Well, you don't have to pack, Johnny.
00:51:50You can go right on staying at the same hotel.
00:51:52Oh, no.
00:51:54That Moroni bunch is always hanging around there.
00:51:56I'm moving in with Mabuse.
00:51:57Mabuse has already moved in with you.
00:51:59You see, your hotel is now in Mabuse territory.
00:52:03Oh.
00:52:03Why?
00:52:04They'll take care of you like a baby.
00:52:06But what good will that do me?
00:52:07I'll be safe, but they'll still think I'm a killer.
00:52:10Oh, my kind of a life isn't worth saving.
00:52:13Well, now, wait a minute.
00:52:14Have you thought of this?
00:52:15This might be your chance to find the killer.
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:19Yeah, that's an idea.
00:52:21But how am I going to get back to my hotel?
00:52:23They've got field artillery outside the door.
00:52:26Wait a minute.
00:52:27Come on.
00:52:27Wait a minute.
00:52:35The coast is clear.
00:52:37Now make a run for it.
00:52:38Okay.
00:52:38Okay.
00:52:39Let's get after them.
00:53:02Can't this thing go any faster?
00:53:25It's pretty hot in this town.
00:53:28What do you want me to do?
00:53:29Get pinched?
00:53:47What did Southport just when we had them?
00:53:49But this is the borderline, little Joe.
00:53:51Ain't you seen the new map?
00:53:53Look.
00:53:56This is my boat's territory now.
00:53:58Ah.
00:54:00You know, these changing frontiers confuse me.
00:54:04Hey, boss.
00:54:05Get a load of this.
00:54:07The killer sure goes for the dames.
00:54:16You must have a harem.
00:54:18And all sizes.
00:54:21All right.
00:54:21Now look, you guys.
00:54:23Killer dill isn't going to be a permanent fixture around here like you may think.
00:54:27He doesn't know it yet, but we're just going to make use of him until the right time comes.
00:54:31Then he goes for a ride.
00:54:32And you jump from public enemy number 24 to 21.
00:54:37That's right.
00:54:37I skipped two grades that way.
00:54:40Pretty sharp, boss.
00:54:41And stop calling me boss.
00:54:43Call him the boss.
00:54:45That way you don't get wise.
00:54:47Put that stuff away.
00:54:48I got him.
00:54:51I got him.
00:55:07I'm leaving.
00:55:26There ain't nobody big enough to hold me back.
00:55:37Take it easy, killer, will you?
00:55:54Welcome home, boss.
00:55:59Come on in.
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:01Any of your friends got any friends, boss?
00:56:04Cut it.
00:56:05Yeah, cut it.
00:56:06Let's get down to business, killer.
00:56:09Hmm.
00:56:10I just been thinking.
00:56:11Why don't we show the world we got a legal contract, you and us?
00:56:16Let's knock off the blue cockatoo tonight.
00:56:19Shove the Moroni gang right out.
00:56:21Yeah.
00:56:22Why not?
00:56:36Hey, there's Jonesy.
00:56:37There comes Mr. Dill, the elite lingerie salesman.
00:56:46Get rid of him.
00:56:47I don't want any of his lingerie.
00:56:49Killer, Dill.
00:56:51Oh.
00:56:52Hello, Mr. Dill.
00:56:53Hi.
00:56:54Why haven't you been in to see us lately?
00:56:55We've missed you.
00:56:56Missed me?
00:56:57I couldn't get past your secretary here.
00:56:58She said you never wanted to see me.
00:56:59What?
00:57:00There's a grave error somewhere, Miss Crawford.
00:57:01I wonder if I could impose on you at this moment, Killer.
00:57:02Hmm?
00:57:03I wonder if I could persuade you to take an order for, say, a dozen of each of your samples.
00:57:04A dozen?
00:57:05Well, make it two dozen.
00:57:06Two?
00:57:07Well, five is the best I can really do.
00:57:08Five?
00:57:09Oh, that's wonderful.
00:57:10That's fine.
00:57:11I'm glad he didn't bump the old boy off.
00:57:12Well, I'll give you a chance to see me.
00:57:14What?
00:57:15There's a grave error somewhere, Miss Crawford.
00:57:16I wonder if I could impose on you at this moment, Killer.
00:57:18Hm?
00:57:19I wonder if I could persuade you to take an order for, say, a dozen of each of your samples.
00:57:20A dozen?
00:57:21Well, make it two dozen.
00:57:22Two?
00:57:23Well, five is the best I can really do.
00:57:26Five?
00:57:27Oh, that's wonderful.
00:57:28That's fine.
00:57:29All right.
00:57:30I'm glad he didn't bump the old boy off.
00:57:34Not here.
00:57:35Gee.
00:57:36Gee, thanks.
00:57:37I'll see you.
00:57:42I just knocked off an order from one of the toughest guys in underwear.
00:57:47In what?
00:57:48In the underworld.
00:57:50I'm glad you dropped in, Killer.
00:57:53I got some business to talk over with you.
00:57:55Yeah?
00:57:56I would appreciate very much if that Maroney gang would take their crummy beer and take the
00:58:01crummy beer to someplace else.
00:58:02As a matter of fact, that's exactly what we came to talk to you about, ain't it, Killer?
00:58:03Yeah.
00:58:04Show us to our table and we'll talk this thing over.
00:58:05Yes, sir.
00:58:06This way, please.
00:58:07You heard what happened at the Blue Cockatoo last night?
00:58:08We got dispossessed.
00:58:09Yeah, I heard.
00:58:10Yeah, I heard.
00:58:11Yeah, I heard.
00:58:12And Killer Dill is muscling in on our territory.
00:58:13I thought you were gonna take care of him.
00:58:14Don't worry.
00:58:15I'll get him.
00:58:16How?
00:58:17That Maboos mob will keep him tighter than Alcatraz on a Saturday night.
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:19Wait a minute.
00:58:20I just got an idea.
00:58:21What did you do?
00:58:22What did you do?
00:58:23You heard what happened at the Blue Cockatoo last night?
00:58:25We got dispossessed.
00:58:26Yeah, I heard.
00:58:27Yeah, I heard.
00:58:28And Killer Dill is muscling in on our territory.
00:58:31I thought you were gonna take care of him.
00:58:33Don't worry.
00:58:34I'll get him.
00:58:35How?
00:58:36That Maboos mob will keep him tighter than Alcatraz on a Saturday night.
00:58:39Yeah.
00:58:40Wait a minute.
00:58:41I just got an idea.
00:58:44Okay, my scientifical friend.
00:58:49Spill it.
00:58:50I moves in with the Maboos mob.
00:58:53You ain't figuring on giving us the cross, little Joe.
00:58:57Listen, will you?
00:58:58We pretend we has a fight.
00:59:00Then you publicly exonerate me.
00:59:02Exonerate you?
00:59:03Throw you out?
00:59:05That's right.
00:59:06Then I'm unemployed.
00:59:08I need a job.
00:59:09So what do I do?
00:59:11I goes to the Maboos mob for employment.
00:59:13I'm beginning to catch you.
00:59:17Now I am his bodyguard, see?
00:59:19And there ain't nothing at all to fix it so I can be alone with him.
00:59:23And then...
00:59:25And that's all there was to it.
00:59:30I had Mushnose on the end of my gun.
00:59:33A rod.
00:59:34If I had my rod with me, I could show you better.
00:59:38Use this, boss.
00:59:39I picked this up for my kid's valentine this morning.
00:59:42Oh, yeah.
00:59:43So I said to Mushnose,
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:46Start them hands climbing.
00:59:47Higher.
00:59:48One more move out of you and your middle name is Lead, see?
00:59:50And what did Mushnose do?
00:59:51Mushnose turns and springs like a panther.
00:59:52Okay, Mushnose, I said.
00:59:53You asked for it.
00:59:54Now take it.
00:59:55Why, you...
00:59:56I'm sorry, Maboos.
00:59:57I didn't know it was a water gun.
00:59:58It's okay.
00:59:59Forget it.
01:00:01Get your kicks while you can, boss.
01:00:03That's what I always say.
01:00:04Yeah.
01:00:05What you just did was slow suicide.
01:00:07I told you I put up with my kid, boss.
01:00:08I didn't know it was loaded.
01:00:09Ah, forget it.
01:00:10Forget it.
01:00:11Say, Maboos.
01:00:12Did you check on that rumor?
01:00:13Yeah, but it's not a rumor.
01:00:14Little Joe really have a beat for you.
01:00:15I'm sorry, Maboos.
01:00:16I didn't know it was a water gun.
01:00:17I'm sorry, Maboos.
01:00:18I didn't know it was a water gun.
01:00:19It's okay.
01:00:20Forget it.
01:00:21Get your kicks while you can, boss.
01:00:22That's what I always say.
01:00:23Yeah.
01:00:24What you just did was slow suicide.
01:00:26I told you I put up with my kid, boss.
01:00:27I didn't know it was loaded.
01:00:29Ah, forget it.
01:00:30Forget it.
01:00:31Say, Maboos, did you check on that rumor?
01:00:34Yeah, but it's not a rumor.
01:00:36Little Joe really have a beat for the Maroney Bunch?
01:00:38That's right, and he's joining our mob.
01:00:40He's on his way over here right now.
01:00:42Of course, if that's all right with you, boss.
01:00:45Oh, sure, sure.
01:00:48Sure.
01:00:56Hiya, fellas.
01:00:57Good afternoon.
01:00:58Good afternoon, Mr. Little Joe.
01:01:00Say, boys, I could use Little Joe.
01:01:03I got news for you.
01:01:05I?
01:01:06Public enemy number 21.
01:01:09Public enemy number 21?
01:01:12Killer deal.
01:01:15In fact, I was on my way over now to see about his health.
01:01:18Well, sit, you don't.
01:01:19Sit, you don't.
01:01:20Sit, you don't.
01:01:21Sit, you don't.
01:01:22Sit, you don't.
01:01:23Sit, you don't.
01:01:24Sit.
01:01:25Sit.
01:01:26Sit.
01:01:27Sit.
01:01:28Sit.
01:01:29Sit.
01:01:30Sit.
01:01:31Sit.
01:01:32Sit.
01:01:33Sit.
01:01:34Oh.
01:01:35Well, boss, you let the blue cockatoo off pretty easy.
01:01:38Only 200 cases.
01:01:40That's all he could handle.
01:01:41He said if we put in 400 cases, there wouldn't be room for people to dance.
01:01:45Oh, he did.
01:01:46Well, maybe a beer bottle across his skull would have changed his mind.
01:01:50Who's given the orders around here?
01:01:53Oh, well, you are a killer.
01:01:55Oh, sorry.
01:01:56No offense.
01:01:57Here, my boots.
01:02:00We collected 80 bucks so far.
01:02:01Oh, that's good.
01:02:02That's fine.
01:02:03Hey, boss, would you like to go in on these flowers with us?
01:02:04Who died?
01:02:05How do you like that?
01:02:06Always taking a visit.
01:02:07No, no.
01:02:08This is for a wedding.
01:02:09A mouthpiece is getting married.
01:02:10What?
01:02:11Yeah, Will Allen, you know.
01:02:12He's marrying that cute little chick, Judy Parker.
01:02:13By the way, my boots, little Joe is waiting outside.
01:02:14Oh, he is.
01:02:15We'll send him in.
01:02:16Is that all right with you, boys?
01:02:17Yeah.
01:02:18Okay.
01:02:19Yeah, sure.
01:02:20Hey, killer.
01:02:21What's the matter with you?
01:02:22Nothing.
01:02:23Nothing's the matter.
01:02:24Well, hiya little Joe.
01:02:26Hiya.
01:02:27Hey, boss.
01:02:28You know little Joe, don't you?
01:02:29Yeah, John.
01:02:30Guy's a little girl.
01:02:31And he's the only thing that's up to you.
01:02:32Can I ask you?
01:02:33I'll be unwilling to see the appeal.
01:02:34Can I ask you, sir?
01:02:35Ask me, Sir.
01:02:36Come on.
01:02:37You know that little Joe is waiting outside.
01:02:38Oh, he is.
01:02:39We'll send him in.
01:02:40Is that all right with you, boys?
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:42Okay.
01:02:43Yeah, sure.
01:02:44Hey, killer.
01:02:45What's the matter with you?
01:02:46Nothing.
01:02:47Nothing's the matter.
01:02:50Well, hiya little Joe.
01:02:51Hi.
01:02:52Hey, boss.
01:02:53Yeah, we met.
01:02:56Never thought I'd be working for you, boss.
01:02:59Okay, little Joe, come on, what's with?
01:03:03I got a steer for you, Mabuse.
01:03:05The 51 Club.
01:03:06Now, what's the deal?
01:03:08They're tired of the Moroni Hooch.
01:03:10They're ready for somebody with a proposition.
01:03:13You wouldn't be playing games with it, would you, little Joe?
01:03:16Now, don't it look grew it up?
01:03:18Okay.
01:03:19Hey, boss, maybe we'd better take a run over there right now.
01:03:23Hey, boss.
01:03:24Huh?
01:03:25Oh, oh, you, you go on.
01:03:27I don't feel like going out today.
01:03:30Maybe I better not go too.
01:03:31I'm hot in that territory.
01:03:33That's right, maybe you better not.
01:03:35Hey, killer, keep an eye on little Joe.
01:03:38Don't let him get frisky.
01:03:39Yeah, I'll watch him.
01:03:42Where do we pick up the boys?
01:03:43They're down in the lobby with the pinball machine.
01:03:44Hey, we pick them up on the way out.
01:03:48Oh, and here's a tip on your spiel.
01:03:53Judy, you can't marry him.
01:04:03Alan's no good for you.
01:04:05He'll only make your life miserable.
01:04:09Why don't you go and fight for the girl you love?
01:04:12You and your big talk about mush nose.
01:04:14Why don't you act the way you talk?
01:04:16I'm going to stop you, Alan.
01:04:27I'm going to kill you, you double-crosser.
01:04:31Hang easy, killer.
01:04:32Don't shoot.
01:04:33I'll sing.
01:04:36You will?
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:40It was me.
01:04:41I killed Moroni.
01:04:43Oh, well, you caused me an awful lot of trouble, you know.
01:04:45Well, I didn't mean to kill her honest, I didn't.
01:04:48Put that gun down, will you?
01:04:49It might go off.
01:04:50Yes, it might, and it will.
01:04:52I was going to tell you about it before, killer honest I was, but something got coming up.
01:04:56I couldn't get to you.
01:04:57You were?
01:04:59Yeah.
01:05:00It was under my conscience.
01:05:01Something excruciating.
01:05:02Now, will you put that gun down?
01:05:04Wait a minute.
01:05:06You're going to write that confession.
01:05:08Here.
01:05:10Here's some paper.
01:05:11Now, you put it down on there or else.
01:05:14Now, look.
01:05:15Hell, I've got to be more careful, will you?
01:05:16It might go off.
01:05:17I'll give the orders here.
01:05:19You write.
01:05:21With your hands up.
01:05:22How am I going to write with my hands up?
01:05:26Against the wall.
01:05:31I am a...
01:05:34How do you spell rat?
01:05:35R-A.
01:05:36Look, just put down that you killed Moroni, how you did it, and then sign it.
01:05:40Pull.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:56Here you are, killer.
01:05:58All in black and white.
01:05:59Oh, gee.
01:06:00Thanks, little Joe.
01:06:01Hi.
01:06:03Now, you didn't think you was going to get it, did you?
01:06:05No, wait.
01:06:05Please.
01:06:06I was just...
01:06:07I'm going to blow your brains out.
01:06:08Please, don't.
01:06:11Why, you dirty little.
01:06:12Look, I'll get you the same way I got Moroni.
01:06:15You ain't going to do nothing, little Joe.
01:06:18No more, you ain't.
01:06:20It's a lucky thing I came up to check on you.
01:06:23That was right.
01:06:45You ain't.
01:06:46You ain't.
01:06:47You ain't.
01:06:48You ain't.
01:06:48You ain't.
01:06:50You ain't.
01:06:50Come on!
01:07:20Gosh, ten floors.
01:07:39Should have been 40.
01:07:44Oh, boy.
01:07:47Little Joe killed?
01:07:49When?
01:07:51Oh, I see.
01:07:53Okay, thanks, Mabuse.
01:07:56Mabuse, that awful gangster. I don't like him.
01:07:59Oh, now, Judy, it's clients like that that pay for honeymoons.
01:08:02Well, since our honeymoon can only be for two weeks,
01:08:04I don't see why it shouldn't be paid for by nicer clients.
01:08:07Oh, now, honey.
01:08:11You might have told me you were getting married today.
01:08:13Well, I tried to, but you were too busy.
01:08:15Well, I've never been that busy.
01:08:17What is that?
01:08:18It's a confession.
01:08:20Little Joe confessed to the murder of Maroney.
01:08:22No.
01:08:23Yes.
01:08:23Do you realize what that means?
01:08:25It'll prove that I'm not a public enemy.
01:08:27I can quit the Mabuse gang, and I don't have to be afraid of Maroney anymore.
01:08:31Oh, Johnny, I'm so happy for you.
01:08:33Now you really are free.
01:08:35Well, you always was free.
01:08:36I proved that in court.
01:08:37Yes, but you didn't prove that I wasn't a gangster.
01:08:41This does.
01:08:41All right, it does.
01:08:43It also proves a lot of other things.
01:08:46You can hurt a lot of people with this little piece of paper, Johnny.
01:08:49What do you mean, hurt a lot of people?
01:08:51Well, suddenly, you're not public enemy number 21.
01:08:54It would make Mabuse the laughing stock of the country.
01:08:57Well, if it's only Mabuse that's gonna hurt, let him laugh.
01:09:00I don't care.
01:09:01Well, I wouldn't care either if it didn't affect Judy.
01:09:07Judy?
01:09:09The effect is indirect, I know.
01:09:11And I don't care about losing my law practice.
01:09:14I'm not thinking of myself.
01:09:15But you wouldn't want to throw anything in the way of Judy's happiness, would you, Johnny?
01:09:19No, but...
01:09:20Well, then, let's destroy this before it does any damage.
01:09:26There.
01:09:27Now you have nothing to worry about.
01:09:29No, I guess not.
01:09:33Well, good luck to both of you.
01:09:36Thanks.
01:09:39Do you mind if I kiss the bride?
01:09:41No, go right ahead.
01:09:51I hope you'll both be very happy.
01:09:59Well, that straightens him out.
01:10:05I'm glad you did that.
01:10:07Are you, Judy?
01:10:09Well, I was afraid you might misunderstand.
01:10:12I understand perfectly.
01:10:13Oh, that's swell.
01:10:15Now, we have a date with the minister.
01:10:16No, Will.
01:10:17I've got a date with public enemy number 21.
01:10:19You see, I like my hoodlum smile.
01:10:30Johnny.
01:10:31Johnny.
01:10:32Aren't you going to come to my wedding?
01:10:35No.
01:10:36I couldn't stand to watch you getting married to somebody else.
01:10:39Well, if I beg you, will you come?
01:10:42No.
01:10:42Oh, but you've got to.
01:10:45Why?
01:10:45How can I marry you if you're not there?
01:10:50What did you say?
01:10:51I said, how can I marry you if you're not there?
01:10:54Oh.
01:10:55Oh, Judy.
01:11:03Did I say mild?
01:11:04Oh.
01:11:08Telephone, Mr. Allen.
01:11:09It's Mr. Mabuse.
01:11:10Hello, Mabuse.
01:11:18They got you and Louie in jail.
01:11:21And the McPheeters brothers, too.
01:11:24Well, I'll be right down with bail.
01:11:27What's that?
01:11:29Oh, are you kidding?
01:11:30Why, they can't put me in jail.
01:11:35Hey, buddy.
01:11:36Do you know where I can get a good lawyer?
01:11:38I know a good guy.
01:11:40You do?
01:11:41He defended Killer Deal, a lawyer named Will Allen.
01:11:46No.
01:11:47No.
01:11:48No.
01:11:48Oh, my God.
