A racket boss, Ricky, is waiting for one of his soldiers, Harry, to report on Peter White. When Harry appears, Ricky says "I've been waiting for you, Harry, come on in. What is going on?" Harry says "Boss, that extortion we got with Peter White is off". Ricky says "I'm listening". Harry says "He's hot as a two bit pistol. I just trailed the guy, White, like you told me to. So, there I am trailing him and where do you think he goes?" Ricky says "How would I know?" Harry says "He goes right to the office of Philo Vance". Ricky says "Philo Vance the private investigator?" Harry says "Well, there couldn't be two guys with that name, and Vance is one guy I don't want to mess with. He's too smart for us, you know that". Ricky says "Sure he's smart, Harry, but I've had this racket plan for too long to let any one guy spoil it. We're going through with it, Vance or no Vance". Harry says "Well, if this guy white has hired Vance, you still think you can put the heat on him?" Ricky says "That's right. That's what I think". Harry says "Oh, but Boss, we're putting our head in a sling, we can't grab Peter White with Vance around". Ricky says "That's just the point, Harry. You and I will see that Vance isn't around".
