00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30See, that's the way to play it.
00:01:36Someday you're all going to be a big of musicians, just like me.
00:01:39Well, you've got to practice.
00:01:40Not on this piano.
00:01:45Hey, you can't take this piano.
00:01:47She's a blonde to the professor. He's upstairs, a sick.
00:01:49Go on, play something soft. You're breaking my heart.
00:01:53Come on, darling.
00:01:53Hey, wait. Please, please.
00:01:54My friend, the Tommy Rogers. He's going to be here right away.
00:01:57He's a fixer.
00:01:59Who's Tommy Rogers?
00:02:01You don't know Tommy Rogers, the singer?
00:02:02Never heard of him.
00:02:03You never heard of him?
00:02:04Well, let me show you who's a Tommy Rogers.
00:02:06Here, that's his picture.
00:02:07Look at what he say.
00:02:09The late the Hiram Phelps who wields a half-interest in his department store to his protegee, Tommy Rogers.
00:02:14You mean to tell me a guy like that'll come down to a jury like this?
00:02:17What do you mean, Joey?
00:02:18Tommy, get a start right here.
00:02:20Hiya, Ravelli.
00:02:21Hey, Tommy.
00:02:21Where's the professor?
00:02:22I brought that money for him.
00:02:23Ah, you see?
00:02:25Hey, what's going on around here?
00:02:26Well, I had orders to take this piano, Mr. Rogers.
00:02:28We thought the place was closing up.
00:02:30Closing up?
00:02:31Why?
00:02:32Well, I'm going to tear this place down and build a real conservatory.
00:02:34Now, what did I tell you, eh?
00:02:36Conservatory.
00:02:37Excuse me, Mr. Rogers.
00:02:38Come on, Joey.
00:02:40Hey, you hear that, kids?
00:02:41A new conservatory.
00:02:43Hooray!
00:02:44A new conservatory!
00:02:45Hooray!
00:02:47I'll build a conservatory we'll all be proud of.
00:02:49Stained glass windows, a real auditorium,
00:02:51and say we'll even have soundproof practice rooms.
00:02:53That's fine.
00:02:54When do we start?
00:02:55Well, just as soon as I can sell my share of the Phelps department store.
00:02:58You're going to sell the store?
00:03:00Sure.
00:03:00What do I know about department stores?
00:03:02I'm a musician.
00:03:02That's my business.
00:03:03That's right.
00:03:04And I want kids like these to have the same opportunity that I've had.
00:03:07Hey, let's go upstairs and tell their professor.
00:03:09Sure.
00:03:10Come on.
00:03:11See you later.
00:03:12Come on.
00:03:13Come on.
00:03:13Bye.
00:03:13Now, you kids, you practice till I come back.
00:03:18Better remember, no woogie boogie.
00:03:21You'll have to get working on those books, Sutton, and we'll all be in trouble.
00:03:45Do you think Tony Rogers will sell, Mr. Grover?
00:03:47He'll try to, and if any real businessman gets a look at our figures, we're sunk.
00:03:52Now, get going on those books.
00:03:53We haven't much time.
00:03:54Yes, sir.
00:03:54I'll do my best.
00:03:59Say, can you trust that guy?
00:04:00Huh?
00:04:01His sister works in the music department and runs around the Tommy Rogers.
00:04:03Well, she won't run around with him long.
00:04:05Why?
00:04:05If Tommy Rogers disappears, his share of the store reverts to Martha Phelps, the old man's sister.
00:04:10So what?
00:04:11Well, there'll be a society wedding, Martha will make a stunning bride, and I rather fancy myself as a bridegroom.
00:04:18I'm complete owner of the Phelps department store, eh?
00:04:20Naturally.
00:04:21Now, can you arrange the necessary disappearance?
00:04:24I didn't exactly bring Butch along for company.
00:04:26Yeah, I know what to do.
00:04:28And remember, make it look like one of those accidents.
00:04:30Sure, boss.
00:04:31You know me.
00:04:32Now, don't bungle it.
00:04:33Get going.
00:04:33Get going.
00:04:41If I tell you something, Ravelli, will you keep it a secret?
00:04:44Sure, even from me.
00:04:45I think I found buyers for the store.
00:04:47I just talked to them.
00:04:47Who's going to buy them?
00:04:48For how much?
00:04:49Well, the price hasn't been settled yet, but it's the Hastings Brothers.
00:04:51You know, the big chain store owners.
00:04:52Oh, yeah.
00:04:52Well, the deal looks pretty well set.
00:04:54You can go back and tell the professors to start looking at plans.
00:04:56Yeah, I better not leave you.
00:04:57From now on, you and me is going to be insufferable.
00:05:01Hey, cut out of the line.
00:05:02Cut out of the line.
00:05:03Come on.
00:05:04Second floor.
00:05:06Second floor.
00:05:07Oh, oh.
00:05:08Oh, yeah.
00:05:09Oh, yeah.
00:05:09Come on.
00:05:10Come on.
00:05:10Tommy, what happened?
00:05:14I don't know.
00:05:15Something happened behind my face.
00:05:16I don't see nothing wrong.
00:05:17The lights went off.
00:05:18We were coming down.
00:05:18It went right on again.
00:05:20Tommy.
00:05:21Tommy.
00:05:24Are you all right, Tommy?
00:05:26I mean, Mr. Rogers.
00:05:32Pardon me.
00:05:32Excuse me just a minute, please.
00:05:34Why, Mr. Rogers, what's the trouble?
00:05:35Just a little bump.
00:05:36Somebody's elbow, I guess.
00:05:38First the lights go out, then Tommy go out.
00:05:39Let me help you.
00:05:40Oh, I'm all right.
00:05:41You'd better see her aunt right away.
00:05:43All right.
00:05:44I want to see you a little later, Joan.
00:05:46Yes, ma'am.
00:05:47Now, come along with me.
00:05:51Going down.
00:05:52There's nobody going to tell me that was an accident.
00:06:09It appears to be the worker of a disgruntled employee.
00:06:11I'm calling the police.
00:06:12Call the police department, please.
00:06:14Now, wait a minute.
00:06:15Aren't you taking this a little too seriously?
00:06:16No.
00:06:17If anything should happen to you, I'd be the first one blamed.
00:06:20Aunt Martha, you're reading too many detective stories.
00:06:22Tommy's right, Martha.
00:06:23You're making too much of this.
00:06:27What's the matter, Revelli?
00:06:28Well, I see you're very suspicious of looking at a man, so I chase him.
00:06:31Tommy, who is this person?
00:06:32I'm a Revelli.
00:06:33I'm Tommy's best friend.
00:06:35Your best friends are the police, and I'm going to call them.
00:06:37Don't you think that calling the police might result in a lot of, well, undesirable publicity?
00:06:42Remember the name of Phelps.
00:06:43You're so right again.
00:06:45You're always so right.
00:06:46Mr. Grover.
00:06:47I'll take you to my office.
00:06:50May I have the phone book?
00:06:52Yes.
00:07:02Exercise number four.
00:07:09Come on now.
00:07:10One, two, now stretch.
00:07:13One, two, now stretch.
00:07:16And now, friends, stand on your head with your back against the wall.
00:07:21This is...
00:07:22Blackie.
00:07:38Take this paper out and sell it.
00:07:40Never mind.
00:07:42What about my egg?
00:07:43I'll take this paper out and sell it.
00:08:13What?
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:26Blackie, quick.
00:08:27But...
00:08:33...
00:08:34...
00:08:38...
00:08:41Winthrop, get me the district attorney.
00:08:49Hello, D.A.?
00:08:50That's ridiculous.
00:08:51I've been in constant touch with Scotland Yard.
00:09:01Winthrop, get me Trinidad.
00:09:04Hello, Dad.
00:09:05I won't be home for dinner.
00:09:08I came here to...
00:09:09Just a minute.
00:09:09Winthrop, get me gangbusters.
00:09:12Hello, gangbusters?
00:09:13Who caught the crook last night?
00:09:15Sheriff Hawkins?
00:09:17Winthrop, get me Sheriff Hawkins.
00:09:20Sheriff Hawkins, congratulations.
00:09:23Well, madam, take this down.
00:09:26Go on, please.
00:09:27I saw your name in the top of my bed.
00:09:29I saw your name in the past.
00:09:39I need your protection.
00:09:44That's why I'm here.
00:09:46Hmm.
00:09:47This case is more baffling than I thought.
00:09:49Tell it to me again.
00:09:50I saw your name in the past.
00:09:52I...
00:09:52You're a very busy man, Mr. Plybill.
00:10:09But you must do something.
00:10:11We need your protection.
00:10:13That's why I'm here.
00:10:15Fascinating.
00:10:16Now tell it to me in detail.
00:10:19I saw...
00:10:20Oh, dear.
00:10:23Oh, my.
00:10:25Oh.
00:10:26Oh, be careful.
00:10:28It's the new type flying machine.
00:10:29They're really not perfected yet.
00:10:32Yes, as you were saying.
00:10:34I suppose you've heard of Tommy Rogers,
00:10:35who recently inherited half the Phelps department store.
00:10:38Why, of course.
00:10:39You must take this case.
00:10:45Well, I, uh...
00:10:46I'd like to help you,
00:10:47but I'm just dripping with offers.
00:10:52I, uh...
00:10:53I don't even answer the phone.
00:11:01You'll pardon me?
00:11:02Of course.
00:11:03$10,000.
00:11:08Ridiculous.
00:11:08One would think I was starving.
00:11:10Phew.
00:11:11It's warm in here.
00:11:12It's funny.
00:11:12I don't feel it.
00:11:13Well, I do.
00:11:14Winthrop.
00:11:16Have the janitor come up and break a window.
00:11:20Things are certainly getting hot.
00:11:21Oh, they certainly are.
00:11:24Miss Phelps,
00:11:25I'm turning down all officers to take your case.
00:11:27After all, you're a woman.
00:11:28You are a woman, aren't you?
00:11:30Tell me,
00:11:31what would you want to handle this case for me?
00:11:33$20,000.
00:11:34Don't you think that's too much?
00:11:35Of course it is.
00:11:36Only a cheap chiseler would ask that much.
00:11:38I was prepared to pay $500.
00:11:41Oddly enough,
00:11:41I'm prepared to take it.
00:11:43Shall we bind the deal with a kiss?
00:11:45Or $5 in cash?
00:11:47You'll lose either way.
00:11:48There you are.
00:11:49That's fine.
00:11:51Now, uh,
00:11:52let's get to the bottom of it.
00:11:54Let's get to the bottom of this, eh?
00:11:56Now, tell me everything.
00:11:58Now, as you were saying...
00:11:59No, like this.
00:12:02Camouflage!
00:12:03A precaution I must take for my life.
00:12:04Oh.
00:12:05Every gangster in town would like to do away with me.
00:12:07Oh.
00:12:07But we'll outwit them.
00:12:08We'll even uncover my private smoke screen.
00:12:10Oh.
00:12:13There goes my breakfast.
00:12:14Oh, one more important thing, Mr. Flybeal.
00:12:17Nobody at the store,
00:12:18not even Tommy,
00:12:18must know that you're a detective.
00:12:20You're safe.
00:12:21I've kept it a secret for years.
00:12:23This is a gift from a grateful client.
00:12:25Indeed.
00:12:26Well...
00:12:27They hung them last year.
00:12:34That's strange.
00:12:34I could have sworn I shaved this morning.
00:12:40My car will be here in a moment.
00:12:42Nonsense!
00:12:42We'll take my car's speed as imperative.
00:12:49Quaint, isn't it?
00:12:50Demonstrator's model.
00:12:51I've been trying to make up my mind for years
00:12:53whether to buy this car or not.
00:12:55Oh.
00:13:00My man will be along shortly.
00:13:02Oh!
00:13:02Oh, my!
00:13:03Oh!
00:13:04Oh, dear!
00:13:04I had that seat especially built below window level.
00:13:07Makes me safe from bullets.
00:13:08How ingenious!
00:13:09You better take my seat.
00:13:10It's more comfortable.
00:13:12To the Phelps department store.
00:13:19Make it snappy.
00:13:20That settles it.
00:13:46I'm not buying this car.
00:13:47Fix the door and take it back.
00:13:49My veil.
00:13:50My veil.
00:13:51Oh, dear.
00:13:52Iron cars are worthless.
00:13:53What?
00:13:53Hey, wait a minute.
00:14:15You'll have to fix that door someplace
00:14:17and get all this junk out of here.
00:14:18What's going on here?
00:14:31Yes, your work on these books is okay
00:14:33for a sucker like Tommy,
00:14:34but it wouldn't take the Hastings brothers long
00:14:35to find out they've been juggled.
00:14:38Now, we've got to work fast.
00:14:40Incidentally, your sister's getting pretty chummy with Tommy.
00:14:43Joan, she doesn't know a thing about this,
00:14:44and furthermore, she's not going to.
00:14:45Well, I hope you're right.
00:14:47If this falls through on account of you or her,
00:14:52well, I'd better not, that's all.
00:14:55Hey, you better not let the boss catch you around here.
00:14:57That's all right.
00:14:58The boss and I are just like that.
00:15:00Tommy, I'm awfully busy.
00:15:02Well, I'm here strictly on business.
00:15:03I just came over to check our recording sales.
00:15:05Well, if you mean your latest recording,
00:15:07we sold the last one yesterday.
00:15:08Oh, that's fine.
00:15:09How many does that make we've sold?
00:15:10Two.
00:15:11New high, huh?
00:15:13Oh, pardon me.
00:15:14Have you Tommy Rogers' latest record,
00:15:17If It's You?
00:15:18Sorry, madam.
00:15:19We're completely sold out,
00:15:20but we're expecting something any minute now.
00:15:22We have the sheet music here.
00:15:27Why, you're Mr. Rogers.
00:15:29Yes, you see, every Friday is Celebrity Day.
00:15:34Oh, Mr. Rogers,
00:15:36I wanted one of your records.
00:15:38Madam, I'd be more than happy
00:15:39to make one for you personally.
00:15:41You just step around the counter, please.
00:15:44If it's you
00:15:59When a knock comes at my door
00:16:04If it's you
00:16:07Then I'll rush across the floor
00:16:11But if you're not there
00:16:14The sky falls on my schemes again
00:16:19I close the door
00:16:22And rush back to my dreams again
00:16:26When I'm blue
00:16:30And the phone rings in the gloom
00:16:36If it's you
00:16:38There's a rainbow in my room
00:16:43And when someone kneels with someone
00:16:48Making vows for two
00:16:51If it's me
00:16:55I'll be in heaven
00:16:58If it's you
00:17:02I'll be in heaven
00:17:04I'll be in heaven
00:17:05I'll be in heaven
00:17:06I'll be in heaven
00:17:06I'll be in heaven
00:17:07I'll be in heaven
00:17:07I'll be in heaven
00:17:08I'll be in heaven
00:17:08I'll be in heaven
00:17:09I'll be in heaven
00:17:09I'll be in heaven
00:17:10I'll be in heaven
00:17:10I'll be in heaven
00:17:10I'll be in heaven
00:17:11I'll be in heaven
00:17:11I'll be in heaven
00:17:12I'll be in heaven
00:17:12I'll be in heaven
00:17:13I'll be in heaven
00:17:13I'll be in heaven
00:17:14I'll be in heaven
00:17:14I'll be in heaven
00:17:15I'll be in heaven

00:17:17I'll be in heaven
00:17:18I'll be in heaven
00:17:19I'll be in heaven
00:17:19I'll be in heaven
00:17:19La-da-da-dee, la-da-da-dee, la-dee
00:17:26When I'm blue
00:17:36And the phone rings in the gloom
00:17:42If it's you
00:17:44There's a rainbow in my room
00:17:49And when someone kneels with someone
00:17:53Making vows for two
00:17:57If it's me, I'll be in heaven
00:18:06If it's you
00:18:12With our compliments
00:18:24Oh, thank you
00:18:26Thank you
00:18:29Ah, that was swell
00:18:33Just think, one of the toughest kids in our neighborhood
00:18:36Turning out to be the great Tommy Rogers
00:18:39Now what's great about a fellow that's written a couple of songs
00:18:42And leads a corny little band
00:18:43It's just a matter of breaks
00:18:45Dad always said you were going places
00:18:46Yeah, well, wherever I'm going doesn't mean a thing
00:18:49Unless you go with
00:18:50You won't be going anywhere, Tommy
00:18:52If you keep ignoring the danger you're in
00:18:54Is Mr. Grover in his office
00:18:57Yes, just a moment
00:18:58Miss Phelps would like to see you
00:19:01He'll be right out
00:19:02Thank you
00:19:03Don't forget
00:19:04Oh, Mr. Grover
00:19:08This is Wolf J. Flywheel
00:19:10How do you do?
00:19:12That's rather a personal question, isn't it, old man?
00:19:14How I do and what I do is my concern
00:19:16And if you marry me, your concern will be my concern
00:19:18I've just hired Mr. Flywheel as a floor walker
00:19:21Oh, Martha, we have enough floor walkers
00:19:23Oh, please
00:19:23Well, however, if you desire
00:19:25What experience have you had in a department store?
00:19:27I was a shoplifter for three years
00:19:28Oh, well, and Mr. Flywheel likes his little joke
00:19:31Just tell Mr. Grover what experience you've had
00:19:36Do you object if I ask her a few questions?
00:19:38Well, not at all
00:19:39Go right ahead, ask her anything you want
00:19:40Well, it's you that I'm asking the questions
00:19:42Well, I just heard you ask her if you could ask me a few questions
00:19:44Well, just a minute
00:19:44After all, I'm not blind
00:19:45We will assume that I am a customer
00:19:48I'm returning a baby carriage
00:19:50Are you married?
00:19:51Why, of course not
00:19:52Then what are you doing with a baby carriage?
00:19:54This man's a cad, a yellow cad
00:19:56Why, the whole thing is utterly ridiculous
00:19:58Now, I'll ask you a simple question
00:20:01It's bargain day, the store is crowded, a woman faints, what do you do?
00:20:04How old is she?
00:20:06What difference does it make?
00:20:08You hear that?
00:20:09A woman's life is in danger and he asks
00:20:10What difference does it make?
00:20:12And that charlatan is running your store?
00:20:14Martha, I'd fire him immediately
00:20:15If Miss Phelps were not my fiancée
00:20:18I would tend to my resignation and walk out of this store for good
00:20:21Oh, no, no
00:20:21Fiancée?
00:20:23Yes
00:20:23Do you mean that a woman of your culture and money and beauty and money and wealth and money
00:20:26Would marry that imposter?
00:20:30Just a moment
00:20:31What's the idea of prowling around here?
00:20:34Why, that's Tommy Rogers
00:20:35Oh, how are you, Tommy?
00:20:37No, I'm Tommy Rogers
00:20:38Oh, well, how are you, Tommy?
00:20:39How do you do?
00:20:40I'm a Ravelli
00:20:41I'm Tommy's bodyguard
00:20:42You're Tommy?
00:20:43I'm Tommy's bodyguard
00:20:44I've just been engaged
00:20:45You'll excuse me
00:20:47So you've been engaged, eh?
00:20:51Of course
00:20:51Here's my five dollar deposit to prove it
00:20:53Well, keep with the five dollars
00:20:54I'll guard Tommy for nothing
00:20:55Scab
00:20:57I heard that
00:20:58So you're not a floorwalker
00:21:01You're a so-called bodyguard
00:21:03What does this mean, Martha?
00:21:04Well, I felt Tommy needed a real experienced detective
00:21:07To safeguard him
00:21:09So I, uh...
00:21:10So naturally, she hired me
00:21:11The greatest detective since Sherlock Holmes
00:21:13I'm crazy about Sherlock Holmes
00:21:15It won't do you any good
00:21:16He's got a wife and three kids
00:21:17So this man is a detective?
00:21:19Yes
00:21:19Ha!
00:21:21Mr. Flywheel
00:21:22Just call me Wolf
00:21:24Now that you've revealed yourself
00:21:25You've spoiled everything
00:21:26And after you've promised not to tell
00:21:28How can I keep from telling the world of you
00:21:30And your beauty
00:21:31And my feelings about you?
00:21:33She walks in beauty like the night
00:21:35Of cloudless climes and starry skies
00:21:38Why, that's Byron
00:21:40He was thinking of you when he wrote it
00:21:43Wolf, do you remember this?
00:21:46Thou friend
00:21:47Whose presence on my wintry heart
00:21:49Fell like bright spring
00:21:51Upon some herbless plain
00:21:53Shelley?
00:21:56Shelley
00:21:56They're not writing that kind of stuff anymore
00:21:59Here's a little something to you
00:22:02Your eyes so blue
00:22:04Your heart so true
00:22:05Your lips divine
00:22:07Say you'll be mine
00:22:09Wolf, where did you ever learn
00:22:11To write such beautiful poetry?
00:22:14I worked five years for Blamashave
00:22:15What is this man?
00:22:18A detective, a floor walker, or a poet?
00:22:20All three
00:22:21And not bad at making love, eh, Martha?
00:22:23I can't stand this any longer
00:22:25And I won't stand it
00:22:26Just a moment, Mr. Grover
00:22:27If my aunt wants this man to be my bodyguard
00:22:30It's okay with me
00:22:31Mr. Flywheel
00:22:32My life is in your hands
00:22:34I, uh, I wouldn't be happy here
00:22:38I, I'm not appreciated
00:22:40Not appreciated?
00:22:41Why, I think you're great
00:22:42What do you, uh, what do you really think of me?
00:22:46Well, I, I think you're wonderful
00:22:48Do you, uh, do you think I'm any good?
00:22:52Man, you're terrific
00:22:53How am I, uh, all right?
00:22:56Want to know?
00:22:58You're sensational
00:22:59I could listen to this man forever
00:23:01And, uh, now if you don't mind
00:23:05Martha and I would like to be alone
00:23:07Scram!
00:23:08Oh!
00:23:13Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
00:23:15Hey!
00:23:16Hey!
00:23:17Come on, get that thing away from that fire plug
00:23:19Before I start writing
00:23:20Nobody puts anything over on me
00:23:24Thanks, buddy
00:23:25Uh, huh?
00:23:35Here, go.
00:23:36Give me that purse!
00:23:38You stole it!
00:23:40Then where'd you get it?
00:23:42So you found it, huh?
00:23:44Well, if you found it, take it to the lost and find it a while.
00:23:49Give me that purse.
00:23:53You stole it.
00:23:55Then where'd you get it?
00:23:59Oh, so you found it, huh?
00:24:00Well, if you found it, take it to the Lawson Founder Department.
00:24:07276.
00:24:09There's a suspicious-looking character bringing a purse in there.
00:24:12He claims he found it.
00:24:17Give me that.
00:24:17He's all right. He's the detective here.
00:24:20Where'd you find it?
00:24:25Miss Phelps?
00:24:28Mr. Grover's office, please.
00:24:30Oh, no.
00:24:34Hello?
00:24:35Pardon me.
00:24:36Pardon me?
00:24:37Just a moment.
00:24:39I just caught the crook that stole your purse.
00:24:43Drag him up.
00:24:45You may have it.
00:24:45Come on, my boy.
00:24:49There's a judge in this precinct who just loves purse snatches.
00:25:01Get up out of there.
00:25:03Why'd you run away from me?
00:25:05Now I know you're a thief.
00:25:06So, you didn't think I was a real detective, eh?
00:25:09If you're a detective, I'm a monkey's uncle.
00:25:10Keep your family out of this.
00:25:12Oh, please.
00:25:12This is between we two men and this little slip of a girl.
00:25:19You are right.
00:25:21Mr. Flywheel is a wizard.
00:25:22He just caught the man who stole my purse.
00:25:24Well, Aunt Martha, I told you that man was sensational.
00:25:26Oh, he's wonderful.
00:25:27Oh, he's wonderful.
00:25:29Hmm.
00:25:29Same tailor.
00:25:30How much do you own?
00:25:32Snatching purses around here.
00:25:34We don't stand for that.
00:25:35Here's the purse.
00:25:39There must be some mistake.
00:25:40I'll take it to the Supreme Court.
00:25:42Why, that man's your driver.
00:25:44He's no driver.
00:25:45That's for my brother.
00:25:47Wacky!
00:25:49Hey, you still like it, eh?
00:25:51Good detective, eh?
00:25:52Hey, Cummy, you remember my brother, Wacky?
00:25:59Why, of course.
00:26:00Hiya, Wacky.
00:26:00Haven't seen you in years.
00:26:02That man's no thief.
00:26:03Just look at his face.
00:26:06Frightening, isn't it?
00:26:07Why, this place is becoming a madhouse.
00:26:10He's right.
00:26:11This was a clever trick on my part to show you the kind of man you employ as manager.
00:26:14Your aunt left her purse in my car.
00:26:16This lovable little wife unselfishly returns it and is accused of being a thief.
00:26:22You better let Flywheel handle this case.
00:26:27He's a smart man.
00:26:28I think so, too.
00:26:29We won't need any store detectives with him around.
00:26:32Very well, Mr. Flywheel.
00:26:33You have carte blanche.
00:26:35Okay, I'll take it.
00:26:38You make me think of my youth.
00:26:40Really?
00:26:40He must be a big boy by now.
00:26:44Come on, men.
00:26:47Grover, pay off this flatfoot as of today.
00:26:49Give him what's coming to him.
00:26:51Ouch!
00:26:52Oh!
00:26:53Don't you think there's something charming about Mr. Flywheel?
00:26:57Yes, there certainly is.
00:26:58You take care of the first floor.
00:26:59You take care of the second floor.
00:27:01And I'll take care of Martha.
00:27:02You take care of nothing.
00:27:03I'm fed up with the three of you.
00:27:05How do you expect me to run a store with you maniacs?
00:27:08Destroying priceless antiques.
00:27:09Insulting customers.
00:27:10Disturbing the general routine.
00:27:12No wonder business is bad.
00:27:13Mr. Grover, you are just a quack to me.
00:27:16Though I may insult you, don't talk back to me.
00:27:19We should have more harmony where discord now prevails.
00:27:24Luckily, I'm in command.
00:27:25Just watch me boost our sails.
00:27:27Bring on the girls.
00:27:29Strike up the band.
00:27:30Flywheel, in command!
00:27:33Mr. Flywheel, you say you're the man who will improve things.
00:27:41Won't you tell us, Mr. Wolf Jay, how then can we move things?
00:27:46Oh, tell us, pretty flywheel.
00:27:49Tell us now.
00:27:51Tell us how.
00:27:52Tell us now.
00:27:54You've got to sing while you sell.
00:27:57Don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don.
00:27:59Sing while you sell.
00:28:01Da, da, da, da, da, da.
00:28:03Get that money in the till.
00:28:05Give the customers a trill.
00:28:07There's a way of you, the will to sing while you sell.
00:28:11They'll find no pen without your pen.
00:28:13Sell this weenie with Rossini.
00:28:22And this Verdi goes with Verdi.
00:28:25Yes, you'll make a lot of friends if you'll sing a sweet cadenza.
00:28:29Sing while you sell.
00:28:31Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
00:28:33Sing while you sell.
00:28:35Da, da, da, da.
00:28:37Sails will mount up to the skies.
00:28:39You'll disclose a person's eyes.
00:28:41If you like to vocalize and sing.
00:28:43By yourself.
00:28:48Up and down the old plantation.
00:28:51Oh, the cotton was a-rotting away.
00:28:55Then I come to the South Salvation.
00:28:58By putting on a hot sale on cotton today.
00:29:01Way down upon the Swanee River.
00:29:08That's where this cotton grows.
00:29:11But they pick it.
00:29:12Yes, they pick it.
00:29:13In the cotton.
00:29:14Then they stick it.
00:29:15Then they weave it into clothes and fancy hoes.
00:29:18This jacket svelte is made of felt, but it feels more like a mat.
00:29:31If the felt should itch, you could make a switch and wear it for a hat.
00:29:35This is an American Navy girl.
00:29:36Every night, two sailors wait to convoy her home.
00:29:41This step-in gay is rechache and fits both slim and stout.
00:29:45Two smart affairs my lady wears.
00:29:48This step-in to step out.
00:29:50This is known as a California dress.
00:29:51On a clear night, you can see Catalina.
00:29:55This daring gown has stormed the town.
00:29:57Its lame will not crack.
00:30:00As a special offer, Phelps will proffer a free belt in the back.
00:30:04This is a bright red dress, but Technicolor is so expensive.
00:30:07This etan coat right off the boat, of quality, unbeaten, is the only claw the cultured moth has never, ever eaten.
00:30:25I'd like to buy a bassinet, the one I have is scratched.
00:30:31You love our special bassinet, with a lullaby attached.
00:30:37Rock-a-bye, baby, on the treetop When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, rock, rock it, baby
00:30:59Rock-a-bye, baby, on the treetop
00:31:04When the wind blows, woo, your little cradle will rock, roll, rock it
00:31:11When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall
00:31:16Down, oh, come my baby, my baby, my little baby
00:31:22Down, oh, come my baby, baby, and the cradle and all
00:31:27Go to sleep
00:31:29Go to sleep
00:31:32Go to sleep
00:31:35Close your eyes and go to sleep
00:31:38Oh, mammy, Christ, you'll sing a lullaby
00:31:40Lullaby
00:31:43Lullaby
00:31:45Lullaby
00:31:46Mammie's gonna rock you to sleep
00:31:51Lullaby
00:31:51Lullaby
00:31:52Lullaby
00:31:52Lullaby
00:31:53Lullaby
00:31:54Baby
00:31:54Rock, rock, rock, cradle
00:31:57Sleep, sleep
00:31:58Sleep, sleep
00:31:59Jackson
00:32:00Shoot the talcum to me, Malcolm
00:32:02We've cut the price of rugs in half
00:32:11We've cut our rugs today.
00:32:14There's a rug sale on in a rug salon
00:32:16where we're cutting rugs in a solid way.
00:32:41We've cut our rugs today.
00:33:11We've cut our rugs today.
00:33:41We've cut our rugs today.
00:34:11We've cut our rugs today.
00:34:19Peggy, the Hastings brothers are taking the store over tomorrow.
00:34:22Oh, that means I've got to work fast.
00:34:24I've got to meet this fellow Tommy,
00:34:25getting out of the store and up to the roadhouse by tonight.
00:34:27Well, just get him there.
00:34:28The boys will see that he won't come back.
00:34:30Your worries are over.
00:34:32Lead me to him.
00:34:32He's at the music counter and expecting you.
00:34:34I told him you're an important music critic.
00:34:38Peggy, six months from now, we'll own this store together.
00:34:42We'll be rolling in money.
00:34:43What about Martha?
00:34:45Well, after she and I are married, who knows?
00:34:47Maybe there'll be an accident.
00:34:50Stop worrying.
00:34:50After lunch, we'll take a trip to the conservatory.
00:35:06I'm anxious to show the professor the plans.
00:35:08But I can't go until Kitty gets back from her lunch.
00:35:11I'll get someone to take your place.
00:35:12Yeah, you go ahead.
00:35:13I watch the counter.
00:35:14You go ahead.
00:35:15I'll watch Ravelli.
00:35:16Who's going to watch you?
00:35:19All right, boys.
00:35:20You take over till Kitty gets back.
00:35:21What about your interview with that female music critic?
00:35:23I don't want any publicity about the conservatory.
00:35:26The only interview I want is with you.
00:35:27Looks like a counter-attack.
00:35:38Hey, look.
00:35:40It's only a woman.
00:35:46You paid $2.40 to place.
00:35:48Wolf J. Flywheel at your service.
00:35:50I represent the magazine Musical Life.
00:35:52Oh, working your way through college.
00:35:53I'm sorry.
00:35:54But I've already subscribed to click, pick, hick, tick, gaff, staff, laugh, and chat.
00:35:58Pardon me.
00:36:02Young lady, do you expect Mr. Rogers soon?
00:36:04I'm here to interview him.
00:36:05And I don't care to be annoyed by these silly creatures.
00:36:08Flattery will get you nowhere.
00:36:10Mr. Rogers is probably in his office.
00:36:12No.
00:36:12He went to lunch with Joan, the girl who works behind this counter.
00:36:15Anyhow, Tommy says he didn't want to meet you.
00:36:17Oh, not really.
00:36:18You mean he took one of the help to lunch?
00:36:20Sure.
00:36:21Why not?
00:36:22I didn't know it was being done anywhere.
00:36:26I'll be at the millinery counter.
00:36:27Call me when Mr. Rogers returns.
00:36:30On my way, stupid.
00:36:40Oh, good afternoon.
00:36:41Just a moment, please.
00:36:45Here it is, madam.
00:36:49Now, I want you to get me a piece of cloth to cover this hat and match this dress.
00:36:53But that will take at least a week, madam.
00:36:55I want it now.
00:36:56I'm sorry, madam, but you must realize the material in that dress is very unusual.
00:37:00We'll have to send out for it.
00:37:01Get it at once, or I shall speak to Mr. Grover about it.
00:37:04Oh, well, I'll call the buyer.
00:37:07And hurry it up.
00:37:08I can't wait here all day.
00:37:12Mr. Williams, please.
00:37:14I'm sure we have nothing like it in stock.
00:37:16Hurry it up, please.
00:37:17Yes, yes, I will.
00:37:18Hello?
00:37:22So, you did have it.
00:37:24Saving it for another customer.
00:37:33I've changed my mind.
00:37:34I didn't want something at all.
00:37:35It's awful.
00:37:40Joan.
00:37:40Oh, Fred.
00:37:43Something's happened to Tommy.
00:37:44I phoned his hotel three times and there was no answer.
00:37:46No wonder we were here until 5 o'clock this morning going over the books.
00:37:49Then he and his bodyguards are down in the bed department to get some sleep.
00:37:51Oh, I hope he won't be late.
00:37:52He has an important meeting at 10.
00:37:54No, no, he won't be.
00:37:55He's in his office now.
00:37:56Thanks, Fred.
00:37:57You've got to get those three bodyguards out of the bed department and out of the store at once.
00:38:02I've got to get those bodyguards out of the bed department right away.
00:38:04That's no problem.
00:38:05What do you mean it's no problem?
00:38:06If I don't get them out, Grover will throw me out.
00:38:08And if I do get them out, Rogers will fire me.
00:38:11I don't know what to do.
00:38:12I'd follow Grover's instructions.
00:38:14But how will I get them out of the store?
00:38:17Why not start a sale in the bed department and drive them out?
00:38:20That's a great idea.
00:38:22They're selling a store in an hour and starting a sale.
00:38:24Well, I don't get it.
00:38:26Oh, just wait till you see this bed, Henry.
00:38:28I saw it yesterday and I'm just crazy about it.
00:38:30I fell in love with it.
00:38:32Turn around.
00:38:32Now, wait a minute.
00:38:40Pardon me.
00:38:44Mister?
00:38:45Mister!
00:38:47Can you tell me the price of this bed?
00:38:49Eight thousand dollars.
00:38:50Why, that's preposterous.
00:38:52I can get the same bed anywhere in town for twenty-five dollars.
00:38:54Yes, but not with me in it.
00:38:55Oh, sir.
00:38:57Sir, how dare you talk that way to my wife?
00:38:59How dare I talk that way to your wife?
00:39:02Have you ever met me before?
00:39:03No.
00:39:03Then why do you allow your wife to go around waking up strange men?
00:39:07Oh, come, Henry, before you lose your temper.
00:39:10I'll bet he does the cooking.
00:39:24What other hobbies have you got?
00:39:30We'd like to see something a little different in a bed.
00:39:35You would?
00:39:36Just press that button over by the Davenport.
00:39:38Where is the Davenport?
00:39:40It's in Iowa.
00:39:41Too bad you missed.
00:39:42That was a nine dollar question.
00:39:43Stupid.
00:39:44Non capisci.
00:39:45Il so far.
00:39:46Il so far.
00:39:46Well, what do you want?
00:40:10Well, me and my family, we live in every room as an apartment.
00:40:14And all I can see is a bed, a bed, a bed.
00:40:17And believe me, I got no room for nothing else.
00:40:20That's why I'm looking for something that don't look like a bed.
00:40:25Well, you're going to worry no more.
00:40:27I got just the thing you want.
00:40:29Don't get a fresh and a microphone how I talk.
00:40:32I don't make fun.
00:40:33I'm the same national like you.
00:40:36Is he was born in Naples?
00:40:37Oh, sure.
00:40:38Is he you was?
00:40:39Oh, sure.
00:40:39Oh, yes, I was, too.
00:40:41Yeah.
00:40:42What the hell?
00:40:43I remember you.
00:40:44Giuseppe.
00:40:45The best grape person in all Italy.
00:40:48Hey, watch.
00:40:50Look who's here.
00:40:52Giuseppe.
00:40:53Excuse me, please.
00:40:54Do I know you?
00:40:55You don't remember me.
00:40:57I used to press the grapes with you.
00:41:00Ah, romy.
00:41:01Giuseppe.
00:41:04Hey.
00:41:05Press the grapes and oppress my wife.
00:41:07Oh, don't get a mad.
00:41:09You remember my brother, Wacky.
00:41:11Ah, goodbye.
00:41:13Excuse me, mister.
00:41:15I want to see some beds.
00:41:16Come on.
00:41:16Let me get here.
00:41:17Come on.
00:41:20See?
00:41:21That's a wonderful bed.
00:41:23Well, that's a bed.
00:41:24Sure, I'll show you.
00:41:25What's the matter that's like?
00:41:26I don't know.
00:41:28No, Giuseppe.
00:41:30It's a bookcase by day.
00:41:32It's a bed by night.
00:41:34I don't like it as bed.
00:41:36All right, all right.
00:41:36You don't like it as bed.
00:41:37I'll show you another one.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:39Where you take me?
00:41:40Where?
00:41:41I don't know myself.
00:41:42All right.
00:41:45All right.
00:41:45All right.
00:41:46All right.
00:41:46All right.
00:41:46Hey, you see?
00:42:02That's a safe place to keep the kids.
00:42:04Look, I don't get excited like my wife, but I come in here with 12 kids, and now they're
00:42:33only six.
00:42:34What happened to my six kids?
00:42:36What are their draft numbers?
00:42:39Look, there's only 60 kids, and I know I got 12 kids.
00:42:4312 kids, eh?
00:42:44How much do you make a week?
00:42:45Uh, $25.
00:42:47You can't afford to have 12 kids.
00:42:48No telling me what I can afford.
00:42:50The only thing I know is I got 12 kids, and now they're only six.
00:42:54My good man.
00:42:55Statistics prove it costs $5 a week to provide for a child.
00:42:5812 times 5 is $60.
00:43:00You only make $25 a week.
00:43:02It's economically impossible for you to have 12 children.
00:43:08That's right.
00:43:08That's right.
00:43:10That's right.
00:43:10Five dollars per one are $60.
00:43:13And I can't do this in my life like this.
00:43:16That's right.
00:43:17I think you're, eh?
00:43:21We've got 12 kids.
00:43:23And if your father can do the job, let's stop.
00:43:26Quiet, please.
00:43:28Quiet.
00:43:28Look, mister.
00:43:31I come in here with six kids.
00:43:33No six.
00:43:3412 kids.
00:43:3412 and six?
00:43:35That's 18 kids.
00:43:36How many of you got?
00:43:37Where is my 18 kids?
00:43:38Listen, mister.
00:43:39If you don't get my kids, I'll call the police.
00:43:41Hey, please.
00:43:42Don't let your wife call the police.
00:43:43Remember the grapes.
00:43:45Remember the grapes.
00:43:45Remember the grapes.
00:43:46Remember the name, too.
00:43:47Why do you remember?
00:43:48Hilton, you look alike.
00:43:49Quiet.
00:43:50Quiet.
00:43:51Now, let's get this straight.
00:43:52You say you came in here with 12 grapes, and now you've only got six grapes.
00:43:55No grapes.
00:43:56Six kids.
00:43:57Well, you just said you had 12 kids.
00:43:58She says you've got 18.
00:43:59How many kids have you got?
00:44:00How many grapes have your kids got?
00:44:02I don't want no grapes.
00:44:03You got no grapes?
00:44:04I'll get you some grapes.
00:44:05Get down and get them a bunch of grapes.
00:44:06My kids.
00:44:07You should have gone to the fruit department.
00:44:08This is the furniture department.
00:44:10Put on here.
00:44:11Stop.
00:44:12My kids.
00:44:13Stop.
00:44:13Stop.
00:44:13Where have you been?
00:44:21Your father's been looking all over for you.
00:44:23There you are.
00:44:23You came in here with 12 kids.
00:44:25You're going out with 12 kids.
00:44:26Who took our children away like that?
00:44:27Hey, what kind of monkey bit?
00:44:29Here, you'll get out here.
00:44:30Here you go.
00:44:31Come on.
00:44:35You've got to give me 12 kids.
00:44:37How did I get mixed up in your family life?
00:44:41Where have you been?
00:44:42Your father's been looking all over for you.
00:44:44Come on.
00:44:46Hey, Giuseppe.
00:44:48Here's to your kids.
00:44:48Yes, now go on home.
00:44:49I want to go back to sleep.
00:44:51These are not my kids.
00:44:52Giuseppe.
00:44:56Why didn't you believe me?
00:44:57Water.
00:44:58It's got a lot of nothing.
00:44:59Sure.
00:44:59Yeah, they sleep on it.
00:45:04Water.
00:45:08Now, you need your love.
00:45:12Here's to your kids.
00:45:28These are not my kids.
00:45:31Come.
00:45:31Here.
00:45:32Here it is.
00:45:32Come.
00:45:34Here it is.
00:45:34Come.
00:45:34Three.
00:45:35What are you doing?
00:45:35Come here.
00:45:36Come here.
00:45:37Come here.
00:45:38Come here.
00:45:39Come here.
00:45:40Come here.
00:45:41Come here.
00:45:42Come here.
00:45:43Hey.
00:45:44Come on.
00:45:45Push in the box.
00:45:46Come here.
00:45:47Come here.
00:45:48Come here.
00:45:49Come here.
00:45:50Get out of here.
00:45:51Get out of here.
00:45:52Get out of here.
00:45:53Joan.
00:45:54Did you find Tommy all right?
00:45:56Yes.
00:45:57I just spoke to him.
00:45:58Oh, you were rather worried about him this morning.
00:46:00Oh, why shouldn't I be?
00:46:01Tommy asked me to marry him.
00:46:03And?
00:46:04I said yes.
00:46:05Oh.
00:46:06Oh, that's it, huh?
00:46:08Well, what's the matter?
00:46:09Don't you like him?
00:46:10Oh, sure, sure.
00:46:11I think he's a grand guy, and I'm very happy for you, sis.
00:46:20Well, I feel much better now.
00:46:21That's good.
00:46:22Another hour, it'll be all over.
00:46:27Morning, Mr. Grover.
00:46:28Oh, good morning, boys.
00:46:29Never mind.
00:46:30Here they are.
00:46:31Gentlemen.
00:46:34Just a minute.
00:46:35Going down?
00:46:38You'll find him in the music department.
00:46:39Come on.
00:46:40Let's get it over with.
00:46:41Wait a minute.
00:46:43Now, remember.
00:46:45He's got to be rubbed out in the next hour.
00:46:47It's as good as done.
00:46:48In the bag.
00:46:49There's a music counter over there.
00:46:50I wish I knew what that Rogers looked like.
00:46:51What's the difference?
00:46:52We'll find him.
00:46:53Flywheel, wake up.
00:46:54Go away.
00:46:55Find your own kids.
00:46:56Come on.
00:46:57Tommy's in danger.
00:46:58A couple of thugs want to kill him.
00:46:59They can't kill him.
00:47:00I haven't been paid yet.
00:47:01Oh, come on.
00:47:02Get up and find Tommy while I get the police.
00:47:03Get up.
00:47:04The killers are in the store.
00:47:05Well, why doesn't somebody wait on them?
00:47:06They're about your height and wearing gray topcoats.
00:47:07Gray topcoats, yeah.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:09Gray topcoats.
00:47:10Yeah.
00:47:11Yeah.
00:47:12And be very careful.
00:47:13They're dangerous.
00:47:14Revelli.
00:47:15Revelli.
00:47:16Revelli, wake up.
00:47:17Go away.
00:47:18I got insomnia.
00:47:19Wake up.
00:47:20There's no time to lose.
00:47:21Two killers in gray topcoats are after Tommy.
00:47:22Oh, come on.
00:47:23Get up and find Tommy while I get the police.
00:47:25Get up.
00:47:26The killers are in the store.
00:47:27Well, why doesn't somebody wait on them?
00:47:28They're about your height and wearing gray topcoats.
00:47:29Gray topcoats, yeah.
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32And be very careful.
00:47:33They're dangerous.
00:47:34Revelli.
00:47:35Revelli, wake up.
00:47:36Go away.
00:47:37I got insomnia.
00:47:38Wake up.
00:47:39There's no time to lose.
00:47:40Two killers in gray topcoats are after Tommy.
00:47:43Hey, Wacky.
00:47:45Wake up.
00:47:46We got to find the killers.
00:47:48Come on.
00:47:49Shhh.
00:47:50Turn out the lights.
00:47:59Hey, Wacky.
00:48:00I don't see you in no gray coats.
00:48:01Wait.
00:48:02I got an idea.
00:48:03I play the piano.
00:48:04Maybe we get to the people around and we catch them.
00:48:06Come on.
00:48:10Remember I used to give you your lessons too?
00:48:12Go on.
00:48:13Let me hear you play something.
00:48:14One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and...
00:48:28One and two and three and four and two...
00:48:29Two and three and four and two and one and two...
00:48:30Two and three and eight and seven...
00:51:07Rocky, there's no gray coats here.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:10The killers must still be on the second floor.
00:51:15We'll go up the back way so they don't see us together.
00:51:17I'll go ahead and point them out to you.
00:51:18Where'd he go?
00:51:26Where'd he go?
00:51:34Where'd he go?
00:51:36Here we go.
00:51:37Here we go.
00:51:44Why, still?
00:51:45We're not buying the store, we're stealing.
00:51:47Just remember, it's the Hastings reputation that makes it possible.
00:51:50I always have a hard time realizing how important we are.
00:51:56Pardon me, gentlemen, are those gray coats gray or am I colorblind?
00:52:00No, you're not colorblind.
00:52:01They're really all right.
00:52:02Oh, fine.
00:52:03Then I'd like to show you a cute little trick.
00:52:04Put out your hands.
00:52:05Handcups.
00:52:06Demonstrating something?
00:52:07Uh-huh.
00:52:08It's a new department.
00:52:09That's only half the trick.
00:52:11Now step forward.
00:52:12Now put out the other hands.
00:52:14Now don't go away.
00:52:19Keep an eye on these boys.
00:52:23Get me your office office.
00:52:24What?
00:52:25You've captured the killers?
00:52:26Isn't Mr. Flywheel wonderful?
00:52:27Single-handed.
00:52:28He's caught the criminals.
00:52:29How right I was in bringing him into the store.
00:52:30We'll be right down, Wolf.
00:52:31My hero.
00:52:32Where is he?
00:52:33On the first floor.
00:52:34You better come along.
00:52:35Take these off at once and cut out this infernal nonsense.
00:52:36There you are, I give you the killers.
00:52:37Why, it's the Hastings brothers, the men who are going to buy the store.
00:52:40Gentlemen, I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm...
00:52:41terribly sorry, but it's really not my fault.
00:52:42You certainly do look like crooks.
00:52:43Well, we'll forget about it this time.
00:52:44Mistakes can happen.
00:52:45Give me those keys so I can unlock these handcuffs.
00:52:46Hurry up.
00:52:47What's the matter with you?
00:52:48I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:49I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:50I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:51I'm sorry.
00:52:52I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:53I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:54I'm sorry.
00:52:55I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:52:56I'm sorry.
00:52:57Up!
00:52:58The Greycoats.
00:52:59Keep locked.
00:53:00Start walking.
00:53:01The Greycoats.
00:53:02Keep locked.
00:53:03Start walking.
00:53:04Let's go.
00:53:05There you go.
00:53:06You're in the dark.
00:53:07You're in the dark.
00:53:08The greycoats.
00:53:09You're in the dark.
00:53:11You're in the dark.
00:53:12You're in the dark.
00:53:13You're in the dark.
00:53:14What am I?
00:53:15No?
00:53:16I'm sorry.
00:53:17You're in the dark.
00:53:18You're in the dark.
00:53:19You have to be in the dark.
00:53:20We'll beat you.
00:53:21Well, we'll forget about it this time.
00:53:22Mistakes can happen.
00:53:23Give me those keys so I can unlock these handcuffs.
00:53:24Hurry up.
00:53:25What's the matter with you?
00:53:25Well, look who's here.
00:53:30Austin Benny and the Snapper.
00:53:32We've been looking for these guys for a long time.
00:53:33Now, be careful, gentlemen.
00:53:34We don't want to be sued for false arrest.
00:53:36Sued?
00:53:37Well, you're entitled to a reward.
00:53:38Come on, you guys.
00:53:39Come on, you guys.
00:53:40Get moving.
00:53:41Get along.
00:53:43Well, we're ready to close the deal, Mr. Rogers.
00:53:45I have a certified check in my pocket.
00:53:47If you take us to your office, we'll sign.
00:53:49Gentlemen, I have an idea.
00:53:51This being Saturday, the store closes at 1 o'clock.
00:53:54Why not postpone the signing until then?
00:53:55The employees can meet the new owners.
00:53:57We can make it a regular ceremony.
00:53:59That's a splendid idea.
00:54:01We can invite the press and get a lot of free publicity.
00:54:03Sounds good to me.
00:54:04Of course.
00:54:05We can have a party just like they do in Hollywood.
00:54:07That's a fine.
00:54:08Let there be wine.
00:54:09And women.
00:54:10And a song.
00:54:10And women.
00:54:11And a caviar.
00:54:12And women.
00:54:13And more women.
00:54:16Hey, Wacky.
00:54:17I got a good idea.
00:54:19Why don't you and me go play for the party?
00:54:22Eh, look how you're dressed.
00:54:23You look terrible.
00:54:25There's a whole bunch of high class of people there.
00:54:27You're dressed like a scare-scarecrow.
00:54:29Well, it's too bad.
00:54:30They wouldn't let you in dress that way.

01:01:52Fellow employees,
01:01:54all of you know that Tommy Rogers' musical education was made possible by the sympathetic understanding of the late Hiram Phelps.
01:02:01If it weren't for that, he might never have composed the music you're about to hear now.
01:02:05Friends, I hope you'll enjoy.
01:02:35Too bad, too, thank you.
01:03:05The Clowns, thank you.
01:03:35Tenement symphony
01:03:36The campers come tumbling down the stairs
01:03:44Doo-lee-ah, doo-lee-ah, doo-lee-ah
01:03:47Oh, Marie, oh, Marie
01:03:51You'll be late for your date
01:03:56With Isaiah
01:04:00And from this confusion
01:04:05I dreamed up a grand illusion
01:04:11It's my tenement symphony
01:04:17In a poor plan
01:04:22A kid on the first floor
01:04:30Practicing the minuet
01:04:32The kid on the second floor
01:04:39Yelling for the dinner
01:04:40That he didn't get
01:04:42The guy on the third floor
01:04:49Awakened from his slumber
01:04:51By the guy on the fourth floor
01:04:54Practicing the minuet
01:04:56The man in the third floor
01:05:09And the man in the third floor
01:06:19The songs of the ghetto inspired the allegretto, you'll find them in my tenement symphony.
01:06:35The cry of a bender met a lullaby sweet and tender, my combined man in my tenement symphony.
01:06:56The yelling of children will greet your ears.
01:07:08Polly G, Polly G.
01:07:10Gotta stop, there's a cock, ain't janky.
01:07:13And from this confusion, I dreamed of a grand illusion.
01:07:27It's my tenement symphony in a poor land.
01:07:39Oh, sorry you two have kept you waiting, boys.
01:07:58Don't shoot till you see the whites of my eyes.
01:08:00This will call for a change in the headlines.
01:08:02They'll have to shove the war news back to the second page.
01:08:04Tonight, the front page is mine.
01:08:08I see, snubs.
01:08:09Don't worry, I take your pics.
01:08:11Stop that before I drop you.
01:08:13I drop it.
01:08:14What are you?
01:08:14What paper do you represent?
01:08:16I'm from the news.
01:08:17Take out a subscription to the news and cancel it at once.
01:08:19Sign the cancellation, disgusted reader.
01:08:25Would you mind if I borrowed your camera?
01:08:27Thank you, sir.
01:08:28You made a powerful friend.
01:08:30We'll get a picture.
01:08:31We'll ignore the dailies and send it to the American Museum of Art.
01:08:36What does it do?
01:08:38Sutton got away.
01:08:39Got away?
01:08:39Yeah, when I spotted him, he was talking to his sister, Joan.
01:08:41Well, why didn't you get him?
01:08:42I couldn't.
01:08:43He ducked into a crowd and disappeared.
01:08:44Well, we've got to get Joan.
01:08:46She'll talk.
01:08:46I take your picture.
01:08:47Come on.
01:08:48Hey, look at me and laugh.
01:08:50I've been doing that for 20 years.
01:08:54I must speak to you at once.
01:08:55What a lucky girl.
01:08:56Just in time to get in a picture with me.
01:09:00Pose pretty now.
01:09:01Get ready.
01:09:02Look nice now.
01:09:03Turn on the lights.
01:09:04Hey, what's that?
01:09:06Hey, I can't...
01:09:07Don't worry, Joan.
01:09:07I'll protect you.
01:09:09I can't understand why Tommy wants to marry you.
01:09:11Where'd that scream come from?
01:09:14Where's Joan?
01:09:15Stand back, everybody.
01:09:15Touch nothing.
01:09:16Luckily, Wolf J. Flywheel was at the scene of the crime.
01:09:18Where's Joan?
01:09:19Hey, Tommy, I got a picture.
01:09:21Oh, gentlemen, the case is solved.
01:09:23He'll develop this picture and bring the light what took place in the dark.
01:09:26Will you hurry up?
01:09:26I'll go look for Joan while you develop the picture.
01:09:28Fine.
01:09:28You know how to develop it?
01:09:29He can do it two ways.
01:09:30He can use potassium or the silver nitrate.
01:09:32Use the nitrate.
01:09:33It's cheaper.
01:09:33Come on.
01:09:33Are you all right, Tommy?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:47This thing looks like Grover, is built like Grover, and is dressed like Grover.
01:09:50What do you think it is?
01:09:51Grover Cleveland.
01:09:53Why don't you assist Basil Rathbone and let me alone?
01:09:56Hurry up with that picture.
01:09:57I'm going to the police.
01:09:57This means 99 years for Grover, maybe even life.
01:10:00Give me that negative.
01:10:03Quiet.
01:10:06Give me that negative.
01:10:14I'll give you that picture.
01:10:15Can't we talk this over sociably?
01:10:16Give me that picture.
01:10:18They're a dollar a dozen.
01:10:19Give me that picture.
01:10:20I guess we better give them the pics.
01:10:30Hey, I think he's unconscious.
01:10:55What's the difference?
01:10:56We still got the picture.
01:10:57All right, up with the head.
01:11:00I got him.
01:11:03I got any of them.
01:11:05No, we wouldn't get your head.
01:11:07Now give me that picture.
01:11:27Adios, senor.
01:11:28Out of a dutch.
01:11:28There's a couple of crazy killers loose in the store.
01:11:48What?
01:11:48Yes, Roger's bodyguard.
01:11:50Turn on all the lights.
01:11:51Lock the doors and shoot on sight.
01:11:52Yes, sir.
01:11:52We can't go this way.
01:12:17The cops.
01:12:18Let's go this way.
01:12:18It's quick.
01:12:27Hey, we got to skate faster than they can shoot.
01:12:29There's an exit at the end of the aisle.
01:12:30Skate like mad.
01:12:31Let's go.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:34Come on.
01:12:40You go down that way.
01:12:41I'll go down this.
01:12:42I'll go down this way.
01:12:59Come on, come on.
01:13:29Come on, come on.
01:13:59Come on.
01:14:29Come on.
01:14:30Come on.
01:14:31Come on.
01:14:35You've got to get this picture to Tommy immediately.
01:14:53Come on.
01:14:55There he is.
01:14:56Come on.
01:14:58Come on.
01:15:00Come on.
01:15:02Come on.
01:15:04Come on.
01:15:06Come on.
01:15:08Come on.
01:15:10Come on.
01:15:12Come on.
01:15:14Come on.
01:15:16Come on.
01:15:18Come on.
01:15:20Come on.
01:15:22Come on.
01:15:23Come on.
01:15:24Come on.
01:15:25Come on.
01:15:26Come on.
01:15:28Come on.
01:15:30Come on.
01:15:31Come on.
01:15:32Hey, wacky! Flywheel! Help! Help! Hey, flywheel! Hey, wacky! Flywheel!
01:16:02Hey, don't let him get him! Give me that! Give it to me! What do you think you're doing?
01:16:12Pick him up or I'll shoot. Yes, he'll shoot.
01:16:18Wacky! Come on, Wacky!
01:16:25Get away!
01:16:30Flywheel! In here!
01:16:35Hurry, Wacky! Come on! Come on!
01:16:38Get that stuff over there!
01:16:42Hey, hey, Wacky!
01:16:45Open your door now!
01:16:49Pick him!
01:16:52All right, all right, don't shoot.
01:16:57We give up.
01:16:57Don't shoot, don't shoot.
01:16:58We give up.
01:16:59All right.
01:17:08Well, that takes care of him.
01:17:09Let's get out of here.
01:17:11Get the police, quick.
01:17:13Here I am.
01:17:15That's what I call quick.
01:17:16Certainly give you a service in this door.
01:17:18Get him up.
01:17:20Hey, Tommy.
01:17:21We got Grover in there.
01:17:23Good.
01:17:23I've got some unfinished business to take care of.
01:17:26Come on out, Grover.
01:17:29You've got nothing on me.
01:17:31Wasn't there anything on that negative you developed?
01:17:33Yes, but it wasn't a very good picture of me.
01:17:35No, nor of me.
01:17:38I'll go upstairs and peddle your store.
01:17:40Not before we get a shot of you first.
01:17:42No, no, no, please.
01:17:43No, please don't.
01:17:44Don't take a picture of me yet.
01:17:45Go on, take his pic.
01:17:47No, no, no.
01:17:47There's a gun concealed in one of those cameras.
01:17:49Oh, so that's why you wanted them to take my picture alone.
01:17:51Why, you...
01:17:54I told you in the first reel he was a crook.
01:18:02Come along upstairs before the Hastings brothers change their minds.
01:18:05Perhaps they'll buy me out, too.
01:18:06And Tommy, whatever you want to do is all right with me.
01:18:10Thank you, Emma.
01:18:10Come on, come on.
01:18:12Come on.
01:18:13Oh, I love you.
01:18:14Hey, Flywheel.
01:18:25I've been looking all over for you.
01:18:27I'm from the finance company.
01:18:28You haven't made a payment in that car for 12 years.
01:18:30You can't fool me this time.
01:18:32I know who you are.
01:18:33You're one of Mr. Flywheel's assistants.
01:18:35Oh, don't you just love working for a man like Mr. Flywheel?
01:18:38Look, lady, cut out the double talk.
01:18:42He hasn't made a payment in that car for 12 years.
01:18:44I'll see that you get a check in the morning, old man.
