00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Now listen, you're kind of new in this neighborhood, so I'm going to wise you up.
00:01:15I'm Muggs McGinnis, the leader of this gang.
00:01:17Now if you want to take any of the boys out, you've got to have them in by 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
00:01:21And no smoking, drinking or hopscotch, because we're all in training.
00:01:24Now I'm going to introduce you to the fellas in their physical order.
00:01:27This is Danny, my left-hand man.
00:01:29How do you do?
00:01:31This is Glimpy, my right-hand man.
00:01:32Hello, Matilda.
00:01:34Pee-wee, my yes man.
00:01:35Hiya.
00:01:36And Skinny, my no man.
00:01:38Hi.
00:01:39And last but not least is Scrueno.
00:01:41He's our blackout warden.
00:01:43Now you met them all and you can do any if you...
00:01:45Hey!
00:01:46Hey, you kids, get out of here.
00:01:49Hey, plan trouble.
00:01:50See you later.
00:01:51Oh, wait.
00:01:52Take that sticker here and take it.
00:01:54Feed them easy.
00:01:54I don't know.
00:01:59Now I wonder how that could have happened.
00:02:01I don't know, but they can't blame us for it.
00:02:03But we was here.
00:02:04That's circumstantial evidence.
00:02:06Well, let's dig.
00:02:07All right.
00:02:07Let's get out of here.
00:02:08Who, too?
00:02:09Hey, stop.
00:02:12Come on, pop.
00:02:13Right here, Anita.
00:02:17Hey.
00:02:17Uh-oh.
00:02:22What do we do now?
00:02:23Sing, mommy.
00:02:24That'll stop us.
00:02:27We're going.
00:02:34Time to go.
00:02:39Now take it easy, mother.
00:02:41Don't aggravate your room with piercing.
00:02:42Oh, good morning, officer.
00:02:44What's new?
00:02:45Next on that.
00:02:46What's your hurry?
00:02:46We was just getting our exercise, taking our girls for a walk.
00:02:49I was just taking my mother to the races.
00:02:50Why did you break that window?
00:02:51Up, up, up, window.
00:02:53Quiet, mother.
00:02:54Then why were you running?
00:02:56We always get blamed, so we run.
00:02:58There ain't no law against running, unless you're a politician.
00:03:01You kids are always doing something.
00:03:02If it ain't one thing, it's another.
00:03:04You're just a bunch of hoodlums.
00:03:06Is that a nice way to talk in front of a poor, discreptic lady?
00:03:10Don't let it get you, Clarice.
00:03:11Coppers ain't got no manners.
00:03:12I got a good mind to have your badge confiscated.
00:03:15Come on, wise guy.
00:03:16You ought to hit that stuff on.
00:03:17Come on.
00:03:18Hey, officer.
00:03:19Hey, officer.
00:03:20Would you unhook me?
00:03:23Ah.
00:03:23Come on.
00:03:27Come on, let's go.
00:03:28You can't arrest us without a corpus delicious.
00:03:30What do my lawyer has about this?
00:03:31There's going to be a big shake-up around here.
00:03:33Yeah, my ghost is going to haunt you guys.
00:03:36You mean we got to walk?
00:03:37Where's the patrol way?
00:03:38Yeah, like that.
00:03:39All right, Baker.
00:03:40Which one of these boys broke your window?
00:03:42They didn't break it.
00:03:43I broke it myself.
00:03:45Every time I get in there, I break something.
00:03:47Ain't I the clumsiest thing?
00:03:48Huh?
00:03:49Ain't that too bad.
00:03:50Now you don't get your promotion.
00:03:52What did you guys think of something else to do besides make us miserable?
00:03:55Sabotage.
00:03:56What chance has a little guy got against a corporation?
00:04:00Hey, there goes our taxi.
00:04:01Okay, if you four guys are excuses...
00:04:03Who punched you up?
00:04:04Hurry up!
00:04:08Come on, Colonel!
00:04:11I couldn't let no bastard this truck was full of watermelons!
00:04:14We'll be picking watermelons for the next five years if you don't hurry up!
00:04:17Hey, if you hurry up, we'll give you a million dollars!
00:04:22Hey, you kids, get off the truck!
00:04:24Save it for the finance company!
00:04:26Who's hiding your old bus?
00:04:27If you don't get off, I'll brain you!
00:04:29Ah, shut up!
00:04:30The pedestrian has a right of way!
00:04:32It looks like he owes his thing!
00:04:33Hey, don't go so fast!
00:04:35I got a nervous stomach!
00:04:47Come on, get off that truck, will you?
00:04:50What a terrible taxi!
00:04:51No radio!
00:04:53Listen, come on, get off of here!
00:04:54Hey, shorty, will you back up about two blocks?
00:04:56You're past my office!
00:04:57Yeah, I'm good!
00:04:58What are you talking about?
00:04:59Get out of here!
00:05:00Yeah, come on, here, here, come on, get it!
00:05:03Yeah, let them dogs alone!
00:05:05I've been running, man!
00:05:06I'm gonna run some motion, all right?
00:05:08Now!
00:05:11Hey, Bell!
00:05:19Hiya, Danny!
00:05:20Remember me?
00:05:20I'm your brother!
00:05:21What are you doing down here?
00:05:22This letter came for you, so I brought it down.
00:05:23Thanks.
00:05:25It's from the government.
00:05:25My grandfather got a letter from the government once.
00:05:27What was it, an invitation to Sing Sing?
00:05:29Alcatraz.
00:05:33Well, kid, looks like your brother's in the army.
00:05:35Oh, that's swell, Bill.
00:05:37Private Bill Collins reporting.
00:05:39Come on in!
00:05:39Hey!
00:05:40Hey!
00:05:41Hey!
00:05:41Hey!
00:05:41Hey!
00:05:41Hey!
00:05:42Hey!
00:05:42Hey!
00:05:42Hey!
00:05:42Hey!
00:05:43Hey!
00:05:43Hey!
00:05:44Hey!
00:05:44Hey!
00:05:45Hey!
00:05:45Hey!
00:05:46Hey!
00:05:46Hey!
00:05:47Hey!
00:05:47Hey!
00:05:48Hey!
00:05:48Hey!
00:05:49Hey!
00:05:49Hey!
00:05:50Hey!
00:05:51Hey!
00:05:52Hey, what's that?
00:05:53That's a siren on Blackwell's Island.
00:05:55Somebody busted loose.
00:05:56It's most likely a false alarm.
00:05:58Let's take a look.
00:05:59I'll see you later, Bill.
00:06:00I'll see you later.
00:06:01Come on.
00:06:10Hey!
00:06:10Hey, what do you see?
00:06:11Seagulls.
00:06:12Hey!
00:06:13Oh, hi, guys.
00:06:13You got any clues?
00:06:14No, you guys got any?
00:06:15No, I think it's a false alarm, just like Bill said.
00:06:17Boy, if I could nab this convict, I'd graduate from my detective correspondence course with honors.
00:06:22It's better to graduate with good marks.
00:06:24Hey!
00:06:25Here's a guilty-looking personality.
00:06:27Let's go over and get a confession.
00:06:29But don't break no bones.
00:06:30Come on.
00:06:33Hey, you the guy that escaped from the island?
00:06:35Hey, go on.
00:06:36Beat it.
00:06:37Scram, you guys.
00:06:38Sa shofar!
00:06:39Hiya!
00:06:40Hiya!
00:06:41How you been?
00:06:42Hey, go on.
00:06:43Get away from here, will ya?
00:06:44Ah, get out top.
00:06:45The streets are free.
00:06:46Sure.
00:06:47We're private detectives.
00:06:48We're from the Barnes Agency.
00:06:49Ever hear my uncle?
00:06:50Third degree Barnes.
00:06:51Well, you must have heard of Charlie Chan.
00:06:53This is a stable mate, Charlie Horse.
00:06:54Hi, Charlie.
00:06:55Hiya, Horse.
00:06:56Take his picture and send it to the funny paper.
00:06:58I got a better idea.
00:06:59I'll send it to Ripley.
00:07:00I bet he won't believe it.
00:07:01Yes, he will.
00:07:02Hey, give me that camera!
00:07:03Give me that!
00:07:04Get out of here, man.
00:07:05What are you looking for?
00:07:06A match?
00:07:07I got a match right here.
00:07:08Don't go away.
00:07:09I'm not going no place here.
00:07:10Here's a match.
00:07:11You got a match, haven't you?
00:07:12Hey!
00:07:13He's got a match!
00:07:14Don't shoot!
00:07:15That ain't a rod.
00:07:16That's a gun.
00:07:17Is it loaded?
00:07:18Sure it's loaded.
00:07:19Give me that!
00:07:20You want to get hurt?
00:07:21Hey!
00:07:22The cops!
00:07:23Looks cramped!
00:07:24Hey, where you going?
00:07:25I don't think he likes cops.
00:07:26Hey, listen.
00:07:27Make sure you're working here.
00:07:28See?
00:07:29Do something.
00:07:30Jump on that truck.
00:07:31Move those barrels.
00:07:32From the bottom.
00:07:33Come on, fellas.
00:07:34Get them up here.
00:07:35Come on.
00:07:36Right here.
00:07:37Great.
00:07:38All right, let's look there, boys.
00:07:39Hey!
00:07:40What are you kids doing in that truck?
00:07:41Eh, we're just upright citizens trying to make an honest dollar.
00:07:43After all, we've got wives and babies to support.
00:07:44Cut out the wisecracks.
00:07:45I've seen you kids before, haven't I?
00:07:46Maybe it was at the races.
00:07:47Or was it Pam Beach?
00:07:48It was juvenile court.
00:07:49Don't tell me you were in trouble, officer.
00:07:50Get down out of there.
00:07:51Marty can't blame a guy for trying to fill up a social security fund.
00:07:53What are you kids doing in that truck?
00:07:55Eh, we're just upright citizens trying to make an honest dollar.
00:07:57After all, we've got wives and babies to support.
00:07:58Cut out the wisecracks.
00:07:59I've seen you kids before, haven't I?
00:08:00Maybe it was at the races.
00:08:01Or was it Pam Beach?
00:08:02It was juvenile court.
00:08:03Don't tell me you were in trouble, officer.
00:08:04Get down out of there.
00:08:05Marty can't blame a guy for trying to fill up a social security fund.
00:08:06Well, you don't want to mooch on a city like you.
00:08:07Let me see your driver's license.
00:08:08Driver's license?
00:08:09I know.
00:08:10You just want to prove that you can read.
00:08:11There you are.
00:08:12On the other side is a very nice picture of my Aunt Sue.
00:08:15Skinny old thing, isn't she?
00:08:16Is there anything else I can do for you, officer?
00:08:17No, Mr. Wiseguy.
00:08:18He's gone.
00:08:19He's gone.
00:08:20I know.
00:08:21And he's gone.
00:08:22He's gone.
00:08:23He's gone.
00:08:24He's gone.
00:08:25He's gone.
00:08:26He's gone.
00:08:27I'm gone.
00:08:28He's gone.
00:08:29He's gone.
00:08:30He's gone.
00:08:31He's gone.
00:08:32I was gone.
00:08:33He's gone.
00:08:34He's gone.
00:08:35Mr. Wise Guy. Well, uh, you sure you wouldn't want to search the truck, look in one of the
00:08:39barrels and see if that lug from Blackwell's island ain't in one of them? Yeah, maybe he's
00:08:42learning to swim in wine. That's what I call wasting the taxpayers' money. Goodbye now.
00:08:56I'm glad they're going. Heads up. Money in the making. Oh, that'll be a pleasant change. Being broke
00:09:06is getting monotonous. All right, Luke. Yeah, make it snappy. Hey, how about a little help
00:09:19from the All-American Longshoremen's Association? That's a good man here. Go on, scram. Hey,
00:09:24Navi. You looking for the guy that's driving that truck? Yeah, did you see him? He left
00:09:29when the cops came. Cops? Sure. By the way, he took off. You'd think he was the guy that escaped
00:09:33from Blackwell's island. He had a rod. Hey, have you ever been fingerprinted? Go on, beat it. I don't
00:09:38know, but it looks to me like you'll need a little help with that barrel. A little large
00:09:41for you, isn't it? Sure. I come from a long line of wine barons. He means barrels. Okay,
00:09:45okay. Help me get this on the truck. All right, Luke. Come on, now. Easy now. Take it easy. Come on,
00:09:52take it easy with us. We don't need that. Get it right out of there. Go ahead. Get it on
00:09:54there. Don't get it on there. Don't get it on there. Get it up there, fellas. Don't injure
00:09:58yourself, boys. All right. Don't injure yourself. All right, boys. Don't injure yourself. All right,
00:10:02boys, don't strain your legionates. No, no, no. I'll handle it. Hey, hey, grab it. Oh, you give up?
00:10:08Come on, give me your hand, will you? All right, boys, give me a hand. You just didn't appreciate
00:10:15how useless we was. Thanks. Hey, wait a minute. Hey, whack them in here. Hey, how about a little
00:10:23gratuity here? How about a little compensation? Come on, six pieces, please. All right,
00:10:28that's a little better. What? Two bits. That's awful limp, Luke. We've been laboring in a
00:10:34delusion. You ain't. Hey, ain't you going to wait for your change? Can you spare it? Spendthrift?
00:10:38Spendthrift? Two bits. Hmm. Hey, that's two packs of cigarettes. Hey, Mark, what if we do find
00:10:57this Luke Manning's buddy? What do we do with it? Throw it back to the fish. Yeah. Hey,
00:11:02where's Cliffy? He can't swim. I don't know. He was around a minute ago. Oh, gosh, what if he's
00:11:06drawn? Who's going to tell his mother? Oh, he's at Orpheum. Orpheum? That's the name
00:11:10of a theater. Orpheum. Hey, fellas, look. Hey, fellas, look. Yeah, but they're close. Oh, my God.
00:11:16Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hey, you. What do you
00:11:34think you're doing? With me, officer? I'm just getting a bit of a suntan, that's all. Where are
00:11:39your pals? Oh, I don't know where they are. Are all these your clothes? Yes, sir. Seven
00:11:44changes. One for every day in the week. Hey, you kids, come on out. Well, what's eating you? Come on down.
00:11:56The water's fine, but it's rounding. I don't want any trouble from you, kids. You better hop on up
00:12:01here. Yeah, we're coming. What do you want? What's the trouble? Well, you're going for
00:12:11a ride. Going for a ride? Oh, somebody on the sunny side, will you? You're going to headquarters.
00:12:16Get on your clothes. So you'll be leaving for the army soon, eh, Bill? Yeah. I'll take it
00:12:24to my physical next week. Sorry to see you leave, Bill. What are you going to do about that
00:12:30kid brother of you? That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Mr. Mullins. Sure. What's
00:12:34on your mind? Well, with my going in the army, Danny's going to be on his own. But I don't
00:12:39want him running around the streets. I know what that leads to. Juvenile court and reform
00:12:42school. I saw enough of that kind of stuff when I was at the Wilton School for Boys. Yeah,
00:12:46so you once told me. Say, Bill, why did you quit that job? I didn't like the way they handled
00:12:51kids. That's why I've always done everything I could for Danny, so as he wouldn't have to see
00:12:55the inside of that or any reform school. Man, you've done a good job of it, son. Thanks.
00:12:59The only thing that'll help Danny is a real job. Now, I was wondering if you could...
00:13:03If I could put him to work, huh? Yeah, that's right, Mr. Mullins. Why, he's a big, strong
00:13:07kid. He could do this job easy. We'll bring him around this afternoon. I'll see what I
00:13:11can do. Oh, that's swell, boss. You won't be sorry. Hey, Bill. Bill, the cops are arresting
00:13:15Danny and the gang. Arresting Danny? Yeah. Where is he? Over there. Let's go. Get away from
00:13:21this bad house, will you? It's private. You know, I think you're framing us. Go on,
00:13:25Scram. You've got to please. Come on, get your clothes on. I'm going to get the DA. I'm
00:13:30going to get the DA's brother there. What's wrong, officer? Who are you? I'm this kid's
00:13:35brother. Well, they stole the truck from McCary Street, and there's no mistake about it
00:13:39because they caught him red-handed. Stole a truck? Look, Mr. Wiseguy, maybe you'll deny
00:13:44you weren't in the front seat of that truck. Yeah, the battery's dead. And maybe you'll say
00:13:49that you didn't tell me that you were working with the company. Oh, you've got to tell a
00:13:52little white lie once in a while. Danny, is this true? Yeah, but we was only kidding.
00:13:57You were, were you? Well, this warrant isn't a joke. So come along, please. Okay, but you'll
00:14:02be sorry you humiliated me in front of my friends. You know, life is one of the
00:14:06boys. Come on. All right. All right. All right. Come on. What are you going to do,
00:14:15cocks? Come on. Hey, man, the lady. Hey, what's a pretty good idea, John? Come on.
00:14:22Bye.
00:14:23Bye.
00:14:23Bye.
00:14:32I got to get it.
00:14:49Darmatory 3, workhouse.
00:14:51Oh, that means I do what, boss?
00:14:53You'll find out, and don't call me boss. Address me as mister.
00:14:58Okay, mister boss.
00:15:02Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:15:05Ethelbert McGinnis!
00:15:06Ethelbert?
00:15:07Can you imagine a guy with a moniker like that?
00:15:09Which one of you is Ethelbert McGinnis?
00:15:12We got a McGinnis, but no Ethelbert.
00:15:13Oh, yes, you have.
00:15:16Now, which one of you isn't?
00:15:20What a terrible ding.
00:15:32I'm Ethelbert.
00:15:33You?
00:15:34Oh, I'm completely disillusioned.
00:15:36So you're Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:15:41It's kind of a name, you know. It's been in the family for a long time.
00:15:45You might call it a skeleton in a family closet.
00:15:48It would make me very happy if we just kind of left it there and forgot about it.
00:15:53All right, Ethelbert.
00:15:56I wouldn't use that name if I was you.
00:15:58It's because my father made a mistake.
00:16:00I mean, you have to do the same thing.
00:16:02Oh, a little wise guy, eh?
00:16:05Wise guy. That's it.
00:16:07Call me Mr. Wise Guy.
00:16:09All right.
00:16:11Now, Mr. Wise Guy, what kind of work have you ever done?
00:16:15Work?
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:17Work?
00:16:18Yeah, yeah, work.
00:16:19I'm not familiar with the work.
00:16:21Well, we'll fix that.
00:16:23I was afraid you would.
00:16:28Come in.
00:16:31Can I do something for you?
00:16:33Why, yes.
00:16:34My name is Bill Collins.
00:16:35Danny Collins is my brother.
00:16:37Collins.
00:16:39Collins.
00:16:40Oh, yes.
00:16:41The wine truck case.
00:16:42They were just admitted.
00:16:44That's right.
00:16:45You think I could see Danny?
00:16:47I'll see.
00:16:49Won't you come this way, please?
00:16:50Say, this place looks much better.
00:17:01Then you've been here before.
00:17:02Yeah.
00:17:03I was a god for a year and a half.
00:17:05How interesting.
00:17:06Sure.
00:17:07If you like to see kids kicked around and starved.
00:17:09Oh, but you really don't know Wilton.
00:17:11Lady, I know plenty that isn't good about this place.
00:17:14Things have changed, as you've already noticed.
00:17:17We're here to help the boys, not to hurt them.
00:17:20Sorry if I blew up, miss.
00:17:22But I learned to hate the Wilton Reformatory.
00:17:25I understand.
00:17:26All right, that's all.
00:17:38So, Jed Mill is still a god here.
00:17:41Yeah.
00:17:42Things have changed all right.
00:17:44What are you trying to do, miss?
00:17:45Sell me a bill of goods?
00:17:47Daniel Collins.
00:17:48Yes, sir.
00:17:49Maybe you'll remember my brother.
00:17:50He used to work here.
00:17:51Is that so?
00:17:53You must be Bill Collins' brother.
00:17:55That's me.
00:17:56Hoodlums must run in your family.
00:17:58Who do you think you're calling names?
00:18:01All right.
00:18:03I apologize.
00:18:06Lay off.
00:18:10Take it easy, you.
00:18:12Just a moment now.
00:18:13What's the trouble here?
00:18:14What's the trouble, Miller?
00:18:15Be careful of him, Mr. Barnes.
00:18:17He's lied to attack you the way he did me.
00:18:20I know him.
00:18:21His name is Bill Collins.
00:18:23He's that hoodlum's brother.
00:18:24Mr. Barnes, I can explain.
00:18:27Mr. Collins once worked here.
00:18:28He was only...
00:18:29Never mind explaining, lady.
00:18:30I can do that.
00:18:31I didn't come here to start a rumpus,
00:18:32but I don't like to see any kid get smacked around.
00:18:34Ah, smacking around is too good for him.
00:18:37That's entirely unnecessary, Miller.
00:18:39And as long as I'm superintendent of this institution,
00:18:41no boy is to be struck.
00:18:43Well, you gotta make him respect authority, don't you?
00:18:45There are even limitations to authority.
00:18:46There are even limitations to authority.
00:18:48I hope I make myself clear.
00:18:49Yes, sir.
00:18:51Mr. Collins, Miss Mitchell, would you please come with me?
00:18:55Don't worry, kid.
00:18:58Here's the guy that's gonna be all right.
00:19:00Yeah, maybe things won't be so bad after all.
00:19:03I won't forget this scenario, and neither will you.
00:19:07All right, my memory ain't so bad either.
00:19:09Mr. Collins, Jim Barnes is my name.
00:19:10How do you do?
00:19:12Ann Mitchell is mine.
00:19:14Mr. Collins, I'm afraid you never knew it.
00:19:16But your testimony and your written resignation
00:19:18was indirectly responsible for a new order here at Wilton.
00:19:22No, I didn't know that.
00:19:23I guess I was in too much of a hurry to get away.
00:19:25Well, how would you like to take a look around the place now?
00:19:27I'd like it very much.
00:19:30I'm sure Miss Mitchell here wouldn't object to being your guide.
00:19:32Would you, Ann?
00:19:33I'd be delighted.
00:19:34Gee, thanks a lot.
00:19:35You didn't have one of those when I was here.
00:19:37I told you, things have changed.
00:19:38Bye.
00:19:40Bye.
00:19:41You know, if I wasn't going in the army, I wouldn't mind getting my old job back.
00:19:46I'm sure Mr. Barnes would like to have you.
00:19:48In fact, I wouldn't even mind getting sent to reform school.
00:19:51That is, if the other half is anything like you.
00:19:55There's always the guard house in the army.
00:19:57Say, that gives me an idea.
00:19:58I'm taking my physical tomorrow, and I need some more weight if I expect to make the grade.
00:20:02Now, how's it about you helping me to put on a few pounds by having dinner with me tonight?
00:20:07Oh, please.
00:20:08For Uncle Sam.
00:20:09All right.
00:20:10But remember, it's only for Uncle Sam.
00:20:11The army will never forget this.
00:20:12If a man is willing, say yes.
00:20:13If he's unwilling, say yes anyway.
00:20:14Waiter, bring some more fortune cakes.
00:20:15I want to find out what happens to a bachelor who is willing.
00:20:16Don't mind him.
00:20:17Too much chop suey.
00:20:18It's gone to his head.
00:20:19That's not the only thing that's gone to my head.
00:20:20It's been so much fun.
00:20:21Fattening you up.
00:20:22I want to find out what happens to a bachelor who is willing.
00:20:24Don't mind him.
00:20:25Too much chop suey.
00:20:26It's gone to his head.
00:20:27That's not the only thing that's gone to my head.
00:20:28It's been so much fun.
00:20:29Fattening you up for your physical.
00:20:30I heard some place that the easiest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
00:20:35Should I take up cooking?
00:20:36Mm-hmm.
00:20:37I'm going to find out what happens to a bachelor who is willing.
00:20:38If a man is willing, say yes.
00:20:39If he's unwilling, say yes.
00:20:40If he's unwilling, say yes anyway.
00:20:41Waiter, bring some more fortune cakes.
00:20:42I want to find out what happens to a bachelor who is willing.
00:20:43Don't mind him.
00:20:44Too much chop suey.
00:20:45It's gone to his head.
00:20:46It's been so much fun.
00:20:48Fattening you up for your physical.
00:20:50I heard some place that the easiest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
00:20:53Should I take up cooking?
00:20:55Mm-hmm.
00:21:04One for the book.
00:21:05Okay, let's get going.
00:21:06Hey, stupid.
00:21:07Hey, call me, boss?
00:21:09Well, I told you to lay off that burger.
00:21:11I'm not drinking any burger.
00:21:14Yeah, just a bromo seltzer, that's all.
00:21:16I...
00:21:17See?
00:21:18Never mind.
00:21:19Now get this straight.
00:21:21Give me ten minutes, see?
00:21:23And keep the motor going.
00:21:24Okay.
00:21:29Be ready if I need you.
00:21:30And remember what I said about the bourbon.
00:21:33No, I wouldn't drink.
00:21:35Oh.
00:21:44Here we are.
00:21:59I don't know when I've laughed so much.
00:22:01I never knew the Wilton Reformatory could give me anything to laugh about.
00:22:04I'm glad, Bill.
00:22:05Maybe your fortune's changing.
00:22:07It is.
00:22:08You know, I can even look into the future of Private Bill Collins.
00:22:11I never cared very much what was going to happen to him after National Defense.
00:22:15But I do now.
00:22:17I like your Private Collins.
00:22:18I like your brother Danny, too.
00:22:21Danny's a good kid.
00:22:23In fact, if there were ten of you Collins boys, I'm afraid I'd like every one of you.
00:22:27Now you're the one who's fickle.
00:22:29I have a weakness for uniforms.
00:22:33Good night, Bill.
00:22:35Thanks for a lovely evening.
00:22:38Oh.
00:22:39Good night, Ann.
00:23:28Do as I say or you're a dead pigeon.
00:23:45Police!
00:23:46Help!
00:23:47Help!
00:23:51Murder!
00:23:52Police!
00:23:52Watch out!
00:23:53Mr. Tainan has been murdered!
00:23:55There they go!
00:23:56There they go!
00:23:57Catch them!
00:23:58Follow that car!
00:24:07Take this thing out of low gear.
00:24:22Step on it, buddy, or I'll let you have it.
00:24:28And that's how it happened.
00:24:37I had already taken Miss Mitchell home.
00:24:41I was out of cigarettes, so I stopped to buy some.
00:24:42You are not out.
00:24:42This half-filled package of cigarettes is found in your car.
00:24:50Explain that.
00:24:51I don't know anything about it.
00:24:52It wasn't mine.
00:24:52Besides, I don't open my package that way.
00:24:53That don't cut no ice.
00:24:54Green, the drug clerk, positively identifies you as one of the bandits.
00:24:58I didn't do it.
00:24:59I didn't do it.
00:25:00In my words, as good as his.
00:25:01Collins, it's pretty simple what you did.
00:25:03You went ahead of your pals to see if the coast was clear.
00:25:04You bought a package of cigarettes for a stall.
00:25:05Then you stood guard at the door while the others shot and killed the drug clerk.
00:25:06I did not.
00:25:07I didn't do it.
00:25:08It's not true.
00:25:09Come on, Collins.
00:25:10Now, who are your pals?
00:25:11You're not going to let them go free and you take this rap alone.
00:25:12Don't be a fool.
00:25:13Give us a lead and I'll see you get off.
00:25:14You don't cut no ice.
00:25:15You don't cut no ice.
00:25:16Green, the drug clerk, positively identifies you as one of the bandits.
00:25:17I didn't do it.
00:25:18In my words, as good as his.
00:25:19Collins, it's pretty simple what you did.
00:25:21You went ahead of your pals to see if the coast was clear.
00:25:24You bought a package of cigarettes for a stall.
00:25:26Then you stood guard at the door while the others shot and killed the drug clerk.
00:25:29I did not.
00:25:30I didn't do it.
00:25:31It's not true.
00:25:32Come on, Collins.
00:25:33Now, who are your pals?
00:25:34You're not going to let them go free and you take this rap alone.
00:25:37Don't be a fool.
00:25:38Give us a lead and I'll see you get off easy.
00:25:40I promise.
00:25:41Bill, are you all right?
00:25:44Yeah.
00:25:45Why don't you question him when he's not ill?
00:25:48Lady, this is murder.
00:25:50But can't you see that he's weak?
00:25:52Come on, Collins.
00:25:53Now, the fact remains you were driving the car in which one of the bandits made his getaway.
00:25:57What else could I do with a gun in my back?
00:25:59Do you think a man about to go in the army would commit a murder?
00:26:03Why, he was to take his physical today.
00:26:06Lady, if you're trying to use Uncle Sam as an alibi, save your breath.
00:26:09Facts are facts.
00:26:10I'm not trying to use Uncle Sam for an alibi.
00:26:12Oh, this is all crazy.
00:26:13I'm innocent, I tell you.
00:26:15If you can prove that, Collins, you haven't anything to worry about.
00:26:23How do you like this?
00:26:24Who ever thought I'd become a chambermaid to a bunch of chickens?
00:26:27I always did want to be interior decorated.
00:26:29What a beautiful piece of muslin.
00:26:31But it's just been imported.
00:26:33It's got a regular English droop to it.
00:26:34That really looks good, but that chest is too full, Scroo.
00:26:37Yes, yes, about two and a half inches for the chest.
00:26:39What are you doing to my suit?
00:26:40What's the matter with you?
00:26:41Oh, those shoulders droop.
00:26:42Oh, that's just about five and a half inches right there.
00:26:45That's going to make it look good.
00:26:47Oh, look at that seat. It's all wrong.
00:26:49Out of the seat.
00:26:50Look at that.
00:26:51What are you doing?
00:26:53One more mark on this suit and I'll kick your back fence in.
00:26:57See there? You lacks the appreciation for the finer things in life.
00:27:00Why, it's a man's physical appearance that means everything in the end.
00:27:04If you don't dig mighty quick, your physical appearance is going to change.
00:27:07Oh, what the...
00:27:08It will go.
00:27:09All right, all right.
00:27:13Physical of...
00:27:14Hey, by the way, wasn't your brother supposed to take his physical today?
00:27:17Yeah, I wonder how he came out.
00:27:19Hey, look what I found in the chicken's nest, the snake.
00:27:22You're quite a discoverer. You should be with Columbus.
00:27:25He's dead.
00:27:26That's what I said.
00:27:27What did you expect to find in that chicken nest, croquettes?
00:27:29Hey, I wonder if there's a chicken in here.
00:27:31Let me see and I'll tell you.
00:27:32That'll take a little scientific research.
00:27:36A chicken?
00:27:37Why, there's quintuplets in there.
00:27:39Yeah, let me see.
00:27:40How do you do it?
00:27:41Hold it up to the sun and put it right on your eye.
00:27:43Right up there, like that.
00:27:44That's it.
00:27:45What are you, a wise guy or something?
00:27:47Mr. Wise Guy, remember?
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:50Go get yourself a union card.
00:27:51Who wants to paint?
00:27:52What's the matter with you?
00:27:53Did you ever hear of Michelangelo?
00:27:54He started off painting chicken coops.
00:27:56Who's he?
00:27:57Him.
00:27:58Why, he was a portrait painter.
00:27:59He used to paint men and women.
00:28:00Ah, that's nothing.
00:28:01I got an Uncle Louie.
00:28:02He did the exact same thing last year at the beach.
00:28:04He painted men on one door and women on the other.
00:28:06Let him have it.
00:28:07Oh, you're gonna...
00:28:08Hey, Buzzies!
00:28:10Well, look who's here.
00:28:12Hiya, gang.
00:28:13Hi, Peewee.
00:28:14Well, you been around?
00:28:15We ain't seen you.
00:28:16I've been working in the office.
00:28:17Sort of an office boy.
00:28:18Not bad, huh?
00:28:19If that's the case, you ought to be able to find out something I want to know.
00:28:22What do you mean?
00:28:23Who's running this emporium?
00:28:25I don't get you.
00:28:26Oh, you know, there's always a couple of guys that deal the cards around.
00:28:29Oh, they got a couple like that here.
00:28:31What's their names?
00:28:32Rice Pudding Charlie and Chalky Jones.
00:28:34But they've been here a long time.
00:28:35That's fine.
00:28:36I'll have to meet those two boys.
00:28:38Yeah, you won't have to meet them.
00:28:40They'll look you up.
00:28:41Oh, they will.
00:28:42Well, that's very belligerent.
00:28:47So that's the new gang that moved in, huh?
00:28:49Well, there's nothing like getting acquainted.
00:28:51Yeah, things are kind of dead around us since Barnes took over.
00:28:54I hear that Chalky Jones and Rice Pudding Charlie had things pretty much themselves under the old superintendent.
00:28:59Yeah?
00:29:00But they only got one connection now.
00:29:01Who?
00:29:02That guard, Miller.
00:29:03Miller, huh?
00:29:04Here's a guy who should get himself a new job.
00:29:06Breaking in guillotines.
00:29:07Yeah, but Chalky and Charlie are in strong one.
00:29:10They cutting up anything?
00:29:11Yeah, they work in a commissary.
00:29:13That sounds like a soft touch to me.
00:29:15Best job in here.
00:29:19I told you they'd look you up.
00:29:26Faces don't look so good to me.
00:29:28Let's do some surgery.
00:29:29Bring the plastic, boys.
00:29:34I'll be right with you, fellas.
00:29:36But I remember I got to get these eggs.
00:29:38And I don't mean scrambled, either.
00:29:49Wow.
00:29:50Deliver me from temptation.
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:56Which one of you guys is named Ethelboy?
00:29:58Yeah.
00:29:59Me.
00:30:00The what?
00:30:01I heard you couldn't fight your way out of a beauty parlor.
00:30:07You ought to try fighting your way into one and get that kisser fixed.
00:30:14Funny.
00:30:17Who goes by the name of Collins here?
00:30:18I do.
00:30:19What's it to you?
00:30:20I got a little present for you.
00:30:23You the new paper boy, huh?
00:30:25Read him in wheat, kid.
00:30:31What?
00:30:32That was very considerate of you.
00:30:33You really owe me something now, don't you?
00:30:34Then you're gonna get it.
00:30:35Hey!
00:30:36Oh, God!
00:30:37Don't!
00:30:38Hold him, boys.
00:30:39Let go of me, you rats.
00:30:40I'll mighty when I get out of here.
00:30:41Oh, fellas.
00:30:42You got some in his eye.
00:30:43That's not very nice.
00:30:44And you got it all over his nose and mouth.
00:30:46I don't think that's the least bit nice.
00:30:48I don't think that's the least bit nice.
00:30:49I don't think so.
00:30:50Now, if you put a little like that.
00:30:51Oh, don't let it trip down there.
00:30:52God!
00:30:53Oh!
00:30:54God!
00:30:55God!
00:30:56God!
00:30:57God!
00:30:58God!
00:30:59God!
00:31:00God!
00:31:01God!
00:31:02God!
00:31:03God!
00:31:04God!
00:31:05God!
00:31:06God!
00:31:07God!
00:31:08God!
00:31:09God!
00:31:10God!
00:31:11God!
00:31:12God!
00:31:13God!
00:31:14God!
00:31:15God!
00:31:16God!
00:31:17God!
00:31:20You know what?
00:31:21You ought to put something like that.
00:31:22I'll fix you.
00:31:23Get him out of here.
00:31:24Honey, boy!
00:31:25Honey, boy!
00:31:26I'm giving you a brush.
00:31:27I'll not take it off.
00:31:28Ah, here.
00:31:29Get her.
00:31:30Get out.
00:31:32Oh!
00:31:33That murder!
00:31:34Ah!
00:31:36Ah!
00:31:37Oh!
00:31:38Ah!
00:31:39Ah!
00:31:40Ah!
00:31:41Ah!
00:31:43Ah!
00:31:44Ah!
00:31:45Ah!
00:31:46Ah!
00:31:47Hello, Ann.
00:31:58See Collins?
00:32:00Yes.
00:32:01Anything new?
00:32:02They were pounding and pounding at him.
00:32:05Poor boy, he was so ill.
00:32:08Mr. Barnes, isn't there something we can do?
00:32:11His record here.
00:32:12Something should prove that he's innocent.
00:32:13I suppose it's because of Danny that I feel this way.
00:32:19He and his brother are so close.
00:32:21I understand, Ann.
00:32:23However, I am quite sure the court will prove his innocence.
00:32:27In the meantime, there's Danny.
00:32:29We've got to break it to him somehow.
00:32:31Let me explain. Please, Mr. Barnes.
00:32:34All right, Ann, you do it.
00:32:36I'll do it now.
00:32:43I'll do it now.
00:32:46Oh, wait a minute. Sit down, Danny.
00:32:48I've got things to do.
00:32:52You were planning on leaving, weren't you?
00:32:55Yes, I was.
00:32:56I've got to get out of here.
00:32:58The cop has got my brother built.
00:33:00I know, Danny.
00:33:01I was just going to tell you about it.
00:33:04He wouldn't kill nobody.
00:33:06He's a swell guy.
00:33:07Of course he is, Danny.
00:33:09And he'll be all right.
00:33:11I know it.
00:33:12Now with them coppers, he won't.
00:33:15I've got to do something to help him.
00:33:17But can't you see?
00:33:19There isn't anything you can do.
00:33:20You won't be helping Bill by breaking out of here.
00:33:23I'm his brother.
00:33:24I know him better than anybody does.
00:33:27They can't make him take the rap for something he didn't do.
00:33:30I won't let him.
00:33:32You hear me? I won't let him.
00:33:34We're cheering for the same team, Danny.
00:33:37Just between the two of us.
00:33:40Come.
00:33:41Let him.
00:33:45Come.
00:33:45Come.
00:33:48Come.
00:33:50Come.
00:33:50Come.
00:33:52Come.
00:33:52I need some better off my life for any reform school, and I spend the other half coming out.
00:34:09You want to know something? I ain't beginning to injure my health.
00:34:13I'm not kicking it all, but no matter what I do, I am all right.
00:34:19You know, this reform school life is beginning to injure my health.
00:34:23So I says to the guy, it's a lucky day you're all...
00:34:25Hey, Charlie, get a load of cutie pie saying this prayer.
00:34:32I'm going to say this prayer.
00:34:49Don't pay no attention to those morons.
00:34:55Your brother will make out all right.
00:34:59He's only got four more days.
00:35:01A lot of things can happen in four days.
00:35:04You know, Chalky, gas ain't so bad.
00:35:07Yeah? It's better than the rope or the chair.
00:35:11I read in a book once how they get the days a week before they go.
00:35:14Can't you guys talk about anything else?
00:35:16Hey, that was an accident.
00:35:26That was an accident. No kidding, no kidding.
00:35:28If I wanted to hit you out while you wasn't looking.
00:35:30I didn't mean that. I swear I didn't mean it.
00:35:33Right?
00:35:38Get out of there!
00:35:41Now shut your traps and go to bed.
00:36:07Hand me that hat.
00:36:15Come on, get to bed.
00:36:17Get out of there.
00:36:31You shouldn't get in trouble over me.
00:36:33I can take care of it.
00:36:34Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:36:35Look, blood.
00:36:39Pleasant dreams, wise guy.
00:36:41Enjoy yourself.
00:36:43If I was you, I'd call up and order two wheelchairs while I was still able.
00:36:49Well, well, well.
00:36:52You can't do that!
00:36:54You can't do it!
00:36:55You can't do what?
00:36:56You can't do that! That's out of the room!
00:36:57What do you mean I can't do that?
00:36:59You never know how to play, Finn.
00:37:01Hey, Finn! Finn, I got my fingers crossed!
00:37:03I quit. It's my ball. I quit. Nobody plays. I'm going home to my mother.
00:37:06I quit.
00:37:07I wasn't afraid to go in the electric chair. I'd break to your skull.
00:37:09Yeah, you'd quit!
00:37:10Go ahead and quit!
00:37:11Danny will take your place.
00:37:12Come on, Danny. Take his place.
00:37:13Leave me alone, will you? I don't feel like playing.
00:37:15What's the matter?
00:37:16You know what's the matter. I've got to help Bill.
00:37:18I've got to get out of here.
00:37:19Come on, kid. Forget it. We need you in the game.
00:37:21Let me go, will you?
00:37:22I've got to get out of here.
00:37:25I guess he really means it.
00:37:27We better watch him.
00:37:33Looks like the wise guy took over, huh?
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:36Don't worry about it. That ain't going to do no good.
00:37:51I'll lay off. I've got it all figured out.
00:37:53I'm going to slide down that drain pipe and go right out through the tunnel.
00:37:55No breaks. We're on the honor system, remember?
00:37:57Honor system, my foot. They still got Bill.
00:38:00Look, if you want to make a break, let's all do it together.
00:38:02Don't do it one at a time. You'll have to get caught that way.
00:38:06Hey, maybe they're planning a break.
00:38:08Shh.
00:38:14Wait.
00:38:19Come in.
00:38:28Mr. Barnes, I've got a little something I want to tell you.
00:38:30Yes, Charlie?
00:38:31I saw McGinnis and a couple of guys figuring to make a break.
00:38:35You're sure they were planning to make a break?
00:38:37Sure, I'm sure. I saw it in my own eyes, didn't I?
00:38:43I'm sorry you told me this, Charlie.
00:38:45Remember, we have an honor system here now.
00:38:47Well, you didn't expect monks to tell you, did you?
00:38:49That concerns McGinnis and the institution, Charlie, not you.
00:38:53Aren't you going to yank him in on the carpet?
00:38:55No, I'm not.
00:38:56However, I'm going to have to punish you for informing.
00:38:59Punish me? I only told you what I seen.
00:39:02It's the reason back of it, Charlie, that concerns me.
00:39:06Now, you dislike McGinnis, don't you?
00:39:08Suppose I do dislike him. So what?
00:39:11But, Charlie, that's not straight shooting, that's all.
00:39:15Now, as a consequence, I'm going to have to take up your recreation privileges for the next two weeks.
00:39:19My recreation? Well, how do you like that?
00:39:22Mugs pulls a raw deal and I have to take the rap.
00:39:25That's all, Charlie. You may go now.
00:39:37You may not know it, bud, but you just struck out. Take the field.
00:39:39Back to the vinyl leaf.
00:39:40Come on. Show that ball and take that glove.
00:39:42Let's go. A little activity here.
00:39:44You mean to say he didn't appreciate your tipping him off?
00:39:47Just like me throwing a pitcher of ice water down his back.
00:39:50I lose my recreation for two weeks on top of that.
00:39:52What?
00:39:53Yeah. If you don't like the idea, nobody's snitching.
00:39:57And, uh, what happens to Mr. Wiseguy?
00:40:00Nothing.
00:40:03Strike!
00:40:04Strike? Did you ever try seeing an optometrist?
00:40:07I never had trouble with my feet.
00:40:09Yeah, I never had trouble with your feet.
00:40:11What is an optometrist?
00:40:12An optometrist?
00:40:13An optometrist that's, uh, that's, uh...
00:40:17Show the ball. You're holding up the gate.
00:40:20What's the matter with you?
00:40:25Hey, get some water, somebody!
00:40:27Who done it? How many was there? That's all I want to know.
00:40:29You all right?
00:40:31It was an accident.
00:40:32Well, who done the accident?
00:40:34Could have been the birds that kind of ticked this summer, huh?
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:37What do you think my head is? A carnival target?
00:40:39Could be the missing link.
00:40:45Boys!
00:40:46Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Let me at him!
00:40:48All right! Wait a minute!
00:40:49This is all mine, boys! All mine!
00:40:56Come on, Charlie!
00:40:57That a boy!
00:40:58Get him up!
00:40:59What's the matter? Having trouble, Charlie?
00:41:01Nothing I can't take care of, sir.
00:41:02Come on, you're set back to here.
00:41:03Come on, Charlie! Get him up!
00:41:04Get him up!
00:41:05Get him up!
00:41:06Get him up!
00:41:07Get him up!
00:41:08Get him up!
00:41:09Get him up!
00:41:10Get him up!
00:41:11Get him up!
00:41:12Get him up!
00:41:13Get him up!
00:41:14I'll always fight when my back is turned!
00:41:17This guy's always fighting!
00:41:19So you stand by and referee a fight.
00:41:21Look, Miller.
00:41:22When I took over this institution, I was determined to clean it up.
00:41:25There was one rat hole though I've had trouble in plugging,
00:41:27and now I'm going to stuff you into it!
00:41:29You can't hang nothing on me, Barnes.
00:41:31You've done your own hanging.
00:41:33I'll expect your resignation within one hour.
00:41:35Come on, boys! Get in there!
00:41:37All right?
00:41:38Yeah, sure, sure.
00:41:39You must have sneaked up on me.
00:41:40Yeah, we'll get in the niggas.
00:41:41A minute's attempt to spare Collins' life was made yesterday.
00:41:44His counsel for the condemned man appealed to Governor Walker for a reprieve.
00:41:48Meanwhile, the date of Collins' execution was set for the 17th.
00:41:52Very interesting.
00:41:54You know, I hate to see that fellow Collins go.
00:41:56He's probably a nice fellow, the poor sap.
00:41:59Call him E-Boys?
00:42:00Where are those bourbons?
00:42:01He's coming right up.
00:42:06Here, Lewis.
00:42:07You know, the fellow that should get the chair is Dratler.
00:42:15That ain't nice, boss. Even Kid...
00:42:17I suppose you was kidding the night you left me flat.
00:42:19I should have plugged you then.
00:42:21Yeah, that's right, boss. You should have plugged him.
00:42:23What do you mean, plugged me?
00:42:24I mean, he should have plugged me. You should have plugged...
00:42:26Who started this?
00:42:27All right, go away. Go away.
00:42:28Go on, Dorothy. Read some more.
00:42:30Um...
00:42:32Winners for the Canadian National Sweepstakes were announced late yesterday evening.
00:42:36Hey, I got one of them tickets. Go on, read the winners.
00:42:40Fat Chance, 10,000. Hopeful, 6,000. Pride of the Bowery, 5,000.
00:42:45Hey!
00:42:46Come roll!
00:42:47I don't kid. How come you're Pride of the Bowery? You're from Jersey.
00:42:50You poor dumb cluck.
00:42:52Well, that's all right, Nobby. I'll take care of you in your old age.
00:42:54Thanks, boys.
00:42:55Ticket.
00:42:56That's right.
00:42:57Here it is.
00:43:02Oh, that's one of them racehorse tickets. Why didn't you say so?
00:43:04Yeah, but you can't collect. They'll grab you the minute they spot you.
00:43:08That's right. I'm drowned.
00:43:11Then you, Rattler, you take it and make believe it's your ticket.
00:43:15Not me. I'm in the same boat.
00:43:17I don't like them reporters and cameramen. I don't look good in pictures.
00:43:22Well, Nobby, I guess you're elected.
00:43:24Oh, I didn't run for nothing.
00:43:25Oh, you want me to collect the five grand?
00:43:28That's right. For me. Not for you. Get it?
00:43:31I get it. You get it. I don't get it.
00:43:34All right.
00:43:38Do you think it's safe to trust Nobby with all that money?
00:43:40Well, what else can I do?
00:43:42I can go with him.
00:43:43That's not a bad idea. Go ahead.
00:43:45And don't let Nobby out of your sight, my little one.
00:43:47Don't worry.
00:43:48What makes you think the money would be safe with her?
00:43:51What makes you think it wouldn't?
00:43:52I don't know.
00:43:53Well, if you don't know, keep your yap shut.
00:43:55Ann, you just want the doctor ordered.
00:44:02Too bad I can't take you on a tour of this place.
00:44:05And I can tell you how swell you are.
00:44:07You're pretty swell yourself.
00:44:08When I was a kid, I always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.
00:44:11You know, like Sir Lancelot.
00:44:13Wearing Lady Guinevere's scarf in my arms.
00:44:14I don't know.
00:44:15I don't know.
00:44:16I don't know.
00:44:17I don't know.
00:44:18I don't know.
00:44:19I don't know.
00:44:20I don't know.
00:44:21I don't know.
00:44:22I don't know.
00:44:23I don't know.
00:44:24I don't know.
00:44:25I don't know.
00:44:26I don't know.
00:44:27I can't tell you how swell you are.
00:44:28You're pretty swell yourself.
00:44:29When I was a kid, I always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.
00:44:33You know, like Sir Lancelot.
00:44:36Wearing Lady Guinevere's scarf on my arm.
00:44:38You haven't got an extra scarf handy, have you?
00:44:40Bill, please.
00:44:41Why, I'm studying cookbooks so I can fatten you up to become a major general.
00:44:47With double chins and double stomachs.
00:44:49You make it all seem so real.
00:44:51It will be real.
00:44:53If the man is willing, remember?
00:44:55Time's up.
00:45:00That's a date, kid.
00:45:07Are you nervous and run down?
00:45:09Do you suffer from lack of vitamins?
00:45:11Here is a letter received from one of our listeners.
00:45:13Quote,
00:45:14Dear Mr. Arno,
00:45:15A month ago I was nervous.
00:45:17I chewed my fingernails.
00:45:18Jumped when I saw a mouse.
00:45:20Then I started taking Arno's tablets.
00:45:22And you should see me now.
00:45:24Fit as a fiddle and ready for conscription.
00:45:26Signed, Glimpy Stone.
00:45:28Hey, fellas.
00:45:29That's me.
00:45:30I'm the author.
00:45:31Take it away.
00:45:32Fit as a fiddle and ready for conscription.
00:45:34You can't even spell conscription.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37Someday I'm going to be a writer.
00:45:38What are you going to do?
00:45:39Write other people's names on checks?
00:45:40And now back to the newsroom.
00:45:42Governor Walker today denied a reprieve to Bill Collins,
00:45:45convicted on first degree murder charge.
00:45:47His execution has been set for...
00:45:49Hey, let's go see some pictures.
00:45:51Mr. Bond's got some swell new pictures.
00:45:52He says we can see them if we want to.
00:45:54Yeah, come on.
00:45:55Hey, you gin rummy players.
00:45:56You want to see some new pictures?
00:45:57All right.
00:45:58All right.
00:45:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:46:00What's this?
00:46:01What's this all about?
00:46:02Well, Mr. Bond's got some new pictures.
00:46:03He says we can see them if we want to.
00:46:05Well, ask them the nice way and you can have them.
00:46:07Oh, yes, my good man.
00:46:09Is it being too permissible if we young ones in quest to peruse either cinema?
00:46:14Sure.
00:46:15Cinema?
00:46:16Why, certainly.
00:46:17Cinema.
00:46:18Didn't you ever have cinema on your toast in the morning?
00:46:20What in your collar?
00:46:22I never had it.
00:46:24Did you ever have a guard?
00:46:26Oh.
00:46:28That guard should go back to grammatic school.
00:46:30He's really down.
00:46:31Hurry!
00:46:32You're moving.
00:46:34Thank you very much.
00:46:35You sit open.
00:46:36Sit up there.
00:46:37I need a seat.
00:46:40All right.
00:46:41Stop the show off.
00:46:42Come on.
00:46:43Hey.
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:45This is a swell picture.
00:46:46I hope.
00:46:55They're not going to give Bill a reprieve.
00:46:58They're going to kill him.
00:46:59Ah, what are you talking about?
00:47:01That announcer on the radio was bugs.
00:47:03Listen, I knew a fellow one time.
00:47:05He got a reprieve two minutes before they pulled the switch.
00:47:16A little bit said, oh, sir.
00:47:33Lady Luck dealt $50,000 to the winners of the Canadian national sweepstakes.
00:47:35of the Canadian National Sweepstakes.
00:47:37And here is one of the winners now.
00:47:39Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the pride of the Bowery,
00:47:41who is now $5,000 richer than he was a moment ago.
00:47:44Well, if it ain't now, I'll be the lucky stiff.
00:47:47Here you are, sir. And congratulations.
00:47:49Thanks. This is a big blow to me.
00:47:52I mean, this is a lucky...
00:47:54It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:47:56What do you plan doing with all this money?
00:47:58Well, I'm gonna give it to the... I mean, I'm...
00:48:02I suppose you'll buy your mother a washing machine.
00:48:04There's our chauffeur. The guy from the truck.
00:48:07She has enough time with the laundry.
00:48:09Then I'm gonna get my brother-in-law's saloon.
00:48:11We've been needing one of those things for years.
00:48:14Listen, the same old lobby. Yeah.
00:48:16Well, what about yourself? What's gonna be your treat?
00:48:19Well, I'll take a scotch and soda.
00:48:21I... No, you...
00:48:23You mean, what am I... Well, I don't... I don't need nothing.
00:48:25See, I'm... I got a job.
00:48:27What sort of work do you do?
00:48:29What am I doing?
00:48:31He's the guy who stole the truck.
00:48:33Max, did you see him open that pack of cigarettes?
00:48:35Yeah. Yeah, why?
00:48:37He opened that pack the same way the pack was open he found in Bill's car.
00:48:40Remember Ann telling us?
00:48:42You mean you think he might...
00:48:44It's an angle.
00:48:46I suppose that's the lady.
00:48:49Dorothy?
00:48:50No.
00:48:51Dorothy's more like a mother to me.
00:48:53Who do you want?
00:48:54Hey, Charlie.
00:48:55I mean...
00:48:56Did you say you knew that guy that won the dough?
00:48:57Well...
00:48:58That's it to you.
00:48:59Well, Charlie, I didn't come here to argue.
00:49:00Just tell me one thing.
00:49:01Did you know him?
00:49:02Yeah, I know him. So what?
00:49:03It means my brother's life, that's what.
00:49:05My brother's life?
00:49:06What, is this a gag?
00:49:07No, Charlie, this is no gag. It's for real.
00:49:09Ah, $5,000.
00:49:11Shh.
00:49:12Do me one favor.
00:49:13Just do me one favor.
00:49:14Come outside where we can talk.
00:49:29Now, tell us what you know about that guy that won the sweepstakes.
00:49:32Nobby?
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:34Used to be my uncle's mob.
00:49:35Uncle?
00:49:36Yeah, Luke Manning. You read about him.
00:49:37Luke Manning? You mean the guy that busted out of Blackwell's Island?
00:49:39That's right. He got drowned on the way out, too.
00:49:41He got drowned, huh?
00:49:43I wonder.
00:49:44What do you mean?
00:49:46Listen, if Nobby stole that truck, why'd he bring it down the waterfront?
00:49:49Yeah, that's right.
00:49:51You mean that...
00:49:52I mean that maybe Luke Manning ain't dead.
00:49:54Remember when we went to move that barrel how funny the guy acted?
00:49:56Yeah.
00:49:57Maybe that barrel wasn't full of wine. Maybe it was Luke Manning in there.
00:50:00I think you got something.
00:50:01And I think you're Bo Daffy.
00:50:03Where can we get in touch with this Nobby?
00:50:05I don't...
00:50:07Wait a minute, I can give you a lead.
00:50:09Dorothy Melton.
00:50:10Who's she?
00:50:11The dame in the newsreel that took the check from Nobby, remember?
00:50:13Well, she used to be Luke's girl, but I guess Nobby's giving it a rush now.
00:50:16Well, where does she live?
00:50:17She lives at the Carlton Apartments on 3rd Avenue.
00:50:19I used to deliver notes to her from Luke.
00:50:21Danny, looks like we got a date with Dorothy tonight.
00:50:24We can't break out of here.
00:50:26The Barnes has been too nice.
00:50:27No, but we can tell them everything.
00:50:28Now that we got proof that we didn't swipe that truck.
00:50:30We ain't got enough proof.
00:50:31We're going out and get it, and then we'll talk to Barnes.
00:50:34Hey, where do I come in for giving you all this info, huh?
00:50:37Well, you want to get out of here, don't you?
00:50:38Yeah, sure.
00:50:39Well, we're gonna take you with us.
00:50:41You mean it?
00:50:42Gee, thanks a lot, Ethelbert.
00:50:44Wait there a minute, I'll be right back.
00:50:45Come on, fellas.
00:50:46Shut up!
00:50:48We're not waiting till tonight, we're going right now.
00:50:52Good.
00:50:53You know the way.
00:50:54Take the fellas, I'll see you in a few minutes.
00:50:55Come on.
00:50:58Ethelbert, huh?
00:51:02Now, Charlie, I'm gonna show you my ingratitude.
00:51:05You mean you got a surprise for me?
00:51:06I got a beautiful surprise.
00:51:08Hey!
00:51:13Hey!
00:51:19Now!
00:51:21Tell Mr. Barnes about that.
00:51:45Now!
00:52:18A man, 160 raviolas for that dress.
00:52:44What's Luke going to say?
00:52:45Oh, Luke, I needed it, Nobby.
00:52:47Luke won't mind.
00:52:48No, Luke won't mind.
00:52:50Maybe I've lived long enough already, anyhow.
00:52:54Your receipt, sir.
00:52:56That'll be $10, $20, $30, $40, and thank you very much.
00:53:02Is there something else maybe I can show you?
00:53:04Oh.
00:53:05No, I've seen everything I...
00:53:07Well, nearly everything.
00:53:11Hello, honey.
00:53:14What are you doing here?
00:53:16Nobby.
00:53:16I just want to see if it's imported.
00:53:20What you doing tonight, honey?
00:53:23There it is.
00:53:24Oh, boy, they're coming through the window.
00:53:26We had a lovely evening, girl.
00:53:28Yeah.
00:53:28Do you want to see some?
00:53:29Oh, I'd like to see something in a red, you know?
00:53:31More afraid that...
00:53:33I don't know if...
00:53:33How about dinner for two?
00:53:35Well, what type of thing would you like to see?
00:53:38I mean, now...
00:53:39Oh, Nobby, I want that.
00:53:42You decided to...
00:53:43I'm going to give it $250.
00:53:45Oh, I'll take it.
00:53:46Give me $250, Nobby.
00:53:48Yeah.
00:53:49Have you decided to go to the cinema with me, huh?
00:53:51What do you say?
00:53:53How would you like to see when Rome burns Nero fiddle?
00:53:58How about it?
00:53:58What do you say?
00:53:59Oh, Nobby, it's so sweet of you to buy this coat for me.
00:54:02Go on, I ain't going to buy it.
00:54:03Take it off.
00:54:04Take it off.
00:54:04But you already did buy it.
00:54:06I bought it?
00:54:06Uh-huh.
00:54:07How much did I pay for it?
00:54:08$250.
00:54:09Two hundred and...
00:54:10Two hundred...
00:54:11What's the matter with me?
00:54:13Would you like to see some hats?
00:54:14No.
00:54:14Yes.
00:54:15She's got a hat.
00:54:16She can wear my hat.
00:54:18Now, what type of hat would you like to see?
00:54:20Well, I want something to go with this coat.
00:54:22Well, do you care for this?
00:54:23Yeah, how much is it?
00:54:24Oh, yes.
00:54:25Only $30.
00:54:26Only $30?
00:54:27You don't want nothing like that, honey.
00:54:28That's no good.
00:54:29Well, I can try it on.
00:54:30I know, but it don't look...
00:54:31How much is that one in the corner?
00:54:33Oh, that's $10.

00:54:35Oh, I don't know.
00:54:36Here, try this on.

00:54:39It might be just the thing you need.
00:54:41You want.
00:54:42Well.
00:54:42Looks good.
00:54:43Ten smackers is all right.
00:54:45Yeah, that's a dilly.
00:54:47I'll take that.
00:54:47Oh, that's awful.
00:54:49Huh?
00:54:49Oh, that's awful, Nommy.
00:54:51No.
00:54:52Well, you have...
00:54:53Here, take this one.
00:54:54There's one.
00:54:55Oh, that's the one I came in with.
00:54:56Well, that's a good one to go out with.
00:54:58Well, I'm going to try this one on.
00:54:59Well, you don't...
00:55:01How much is that one?
00:55:02$50.
00:55:03Well, for a half a smacker, it's okay.
00:55:05Oh, no.
00:55:05$50.
00:55:06$50.
00:55:07Try this one on again.
00:55:09Maybe if you put it on back...
00:55:10Oh, Nommy, no.
00:55:10This one's adorable.
00:55:12Oh, go away.
00:55:13You look just like a cop in that thing.
00:55:16Well, I'm going to take this one anyway.
00:55:18Could I show you something in Holsbury, perhaps?
00:55:20Yeah, I'd like to see, sir.
00:55:22Got a brunette?
00:55:23Right this way, please.
00:55:24Okay.
00:55:27What do you suppose happened to Nommy?
00:55:29Is that time to go to Philadelphia and back?
00:55:31Yeah, so is Dorothy.
00:55:33I've told you three times to keep Dorothy out of this.
00:55:36The next time, I'll...
00:55:37Okay, okay.
00:55:38I didn't mean nothing.
00:55:39I was just thinking.
00:55:41Don't.
00:55:42If that Nommy has double-crossed me and run off with my five grand,
00:55:46I'll know what to do with him.
00:55:48Called off his apartment again.
00:55:51Hey, how you doing, ladies and gentlemen?
00:55:54Refuse me.
00:55:55That's the way she goes.
00:55:56Oh, yeah.
00:55:57You made up your mind what you want?
00:55:58Yeah.
00:55:59Give me some of that Aunt Fran...
00:56:01It's a prince.
00:56:02You don't can have this.
00:56:04No, but that's what I want.
00:56:05I'm sorry.
00:56:05You don't can have Aunt Franistines.
00:56:08This is the proprietor.
00:56:09Well, Frank and me.
00:56:10I mean, I don't want...

00:56:12Well, I'm here and you don't can have me.
00:56:13You...
00:56:14Oh, I tell you what.
00:56:15What?
00:56:16How about some nice champagne for the lady?
00:56:18No, she don't want that.

00:56:56Yeah, without cream and sugar for you.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58And she wants hers without sugar but cream and the coffee.
00:57:01Yes.

00:57:03Yeah, two cups.
00:57:04Let me see if I got it right.
00:57:04You want black coffee with sugar, no cream, and she wants cream and no coffee.
00:57:08No, she don't want cream with no coffee.

00:57:12Just give her the sugar and put the cream in the coffee and give me the cup.
00:57:16Yeah.
00:57:16I mean, put the cup in the sauce.
00:57:18Refuse me.
00:57:19You got a little mixed up.
00:57:20Let me explain.
00:57:21You want coffee with cream, no sugar.
00:57:23She wants cream, no coffee, no cup.
00:57:25No, wait a minute.
00:57:27Never mind.
00:57:28Just give me an ice cream soda.
00:57:31Ice cream soda?
00:57:31Yeah.
00:57:32Well, what kind?
00:57:33I'll take manila.
00:57:34You?
00:57:34Boy, if you do this, I give you the coffee and the lemon feast for us.
00:57:37Everything for nothing.
00:57:39Good boy.
00:57:39I like you.
00:57:40Let's get out of here.
00:57:41Come on.
00:57:43I'm getting sleepy.
00:57:44So am I.
00:57:45Only my stomach's wide awake and crying for its bottle.
00:57:48There's steps squirking.
00:57:49Her hostess is liable to be alone any minute.
00:57:51Look, when she comes, let me talk to her.
00:57:54Because when it comes to women, I'm going to come to sewer.
00:57:56Just where you belong, in this sewer.
00:57:58Now, you guys know just what to do when she comes?
00:58:00Hey, at least she's coming.
00:58:01Now, stop that light.
00:58:08Say, this is a swell car.
00:58:10I wonder who owns it.
00:58:11Look, honey, I think you better wait here.
00:58:14I don't think Luke is going to like this.
00:58:16Oh, Luke Manning.
00:58:17He should have drowned when he beat it out of Blackwell's Island.
00:58:19Yeah, but he didn't.
00:58:20When he finds out that I'm running away with you and his five grand...
00:58:23It's only four grand now.
00:58:25Hey, don't.
00:58:25Get away.
00:58:26Get away from there.
00:58:28Maybe if we give it back to him quick, he won't notice the grand's missing.
00:58:30Look, honey, don't be a fool all of your life.
00:58:33We've got four grand.
00:58:35We've got two airplane tickets.
00:58:36By the time Luke finds out, we'll be miles away.
00:58:39Maybe you're right, Dorothy.
00:58:41Now, don't cut it.
00:58:42Now, leave that alone.
00:58:43I'm ticklish.
