Yeah, we are merry all out the Tenth Street Gymnasium.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's what you say about this place is true, Blackie.
I'm gonna be all in.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I get exhausted watching the kids myself here. I'll get
out your side.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Okay, do you want a referee?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
One of the basketball games were boxing match I just
didn't watch.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How many boys in the club now, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Exactly one hundred and we started with only five six months.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Oh that's wonderful. Yeah, this done over here. I'll go
right into the gymnasium itself.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, one hundred boys. How does Tom Alice and the
gym and struck to handle so many at one time?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It doesn't The place is like a madhouse after time
for one hundred kids yelling to do the same things
all at once.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'll hold your ears.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hey, a hundred kids yelling and screaming.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Quiet in here, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
It's quiet?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
An empty tool?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are you sure we're in the right place, in the
right place, in the right day and at the right time.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But something's wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh if somebody just came through that door over there?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now is the gym instructor? Oh Alison? Hi, Tom, Alison
what's the matter. Where are all the kids?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I don't know, Blacking.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
They didn't show up yesterday or the day.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Before the day before that. Why not? I don't know.
It just stopped coming here.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
They started quitting in twos and threes a couple of
weeks ago. We don't even get enough now for a
basketball game.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You understand us at all?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, maybe the boys stopped coming because they couldn't afford it.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Normous Wesley. Everything is free like he pays all fees
and it's bought all their equipment.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh, Blackie, Oh Blackie, you never told me there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I didn't think it was important. But this is.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Those kids were having a good time here. I know
it because I've watched them. I could tell. Why have
they stopped coming here all of a sudden?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Now?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Why?
Speaker 8 (02:21):
And now back to Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who have no friends.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I can't understand why the boys had stopped coming here, Alison.
The gym was built especially for them, and they seem
to appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Yes, I know they did, Blackie. They were screaming for
a place to play their games, have their contests. Besides
out in the street. That's where they are now out
on the street again.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Mister Allison, have you talked to any of the boys
to find out what the trouble is.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
I've tried talking to them, Miss Wesley, but they just
say they're not interested in gym anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
God can't be right. I'm gonna find out about this.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well. Here's one of the boys.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's Bobby Botanist.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Hello, Bobby, I haven't seen you for a long time.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
I ain't gonna see me for a long time again.
I just came by to get my sweater.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I must have left it here. Oh hi, you Blakey
follow Bobby. What's the matter? Why aren't you guys coming
to the gym anymore? We're tired of Jim Blackie. We
got something better than dough. You have what all plenty?
Come on the out of the window. I'll show you
m so it'll be interesting. What's up there by me?
We'll take a look for yourself.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
See the kids over there across the street by the
big car.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yes, I see them.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Look, Blackie, those boys are they're picking up something.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Off the sidewalk, Yes, scrambling for money. Mary. That big
fellow by the car is tossing to him. That's Joey Easton, Blackie.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
Yeah, he says, there are a lot better things to
do than waste.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Time on a gym playing games.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
And he's right.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh he is?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Is he Blacky?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Who's Joe Joe ex racket guy.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Just out of jail.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
Yeah, isn't that ship's Blackie. He's really making though, He says,
if we'll string along with him and he likes us, oh,
maybe he'll show us how we can make plenty of
the don't too well, he hasn't yet, but we're hoping,
I see, And anybody knows you can't make any money
fooling around on a gymnasium. Ah, this stuff is out
for us, Blankie. Eastern's got the right idea about things,
and Jim, ain't it.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He listen, Wait a minute, nothing doing by.
Speaker 9 (04:16):
Some of the kids may find out I've been hanging
around here and tell Joeys I'm going soft.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
So that's what it is, Joe Easton.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yes, Allison, that's it, Blackie. If those boys do what
Easton tells him to do, they're asking for trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well Easton doesn't know it yet, Mary, but he's asking
for trouble. Himself. I tell you, Friday, you've got to
do something about Joe.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Easton doing something about Eastern What. I don't have a
thing on him. I go ahead and don't bother me.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Look, I'm not kidding Paraday.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Easton's been out of jail just about well a little
over a month, and he's already throwing money around us.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If he owned the US Mint where it's.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
No crying to have money, you don't have to Paraday speaking.
Oh hello, commissioner, Eh just a minute.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
No wise cranks, Blankie, this is the police Commissioner talked
to him, and then you're gonna listen to me.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Quiet, Yes, commissioner.
Speaker 11 (05:12):
Have you been paying any attention to the number of
automobiles stolen the last few weeks.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Well, I've seen the reports, Commissioner, blank.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, take another look.
Speaker 11 (05:19):
In the last thirty days, more than two hundred cars
have been stolen up the streets.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Of this city. I thought it was something like that.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
I want you and your department to.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Get to work on stolen cars, Commissioner, but this is
the homicide department.
Speaker 11 (05:30):
I know it's the homicide department. But this is a
big racket, and you know what happens in these big records. Yeah,
sooner or later there's a killing and there's work for
the homicide department. Commissioner, black Parent, do you know how
many of those stolen cars have been found?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Not?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
And do you know why?
Speaker 11 (05:43):
Yes, because they aren't being sold. We can't trace one
of them. This is something different than car that's This
is something new would be. The cars just don't show up,
not one of them.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And do you know where we've checked last anywhere?
Speaker 11 (05:57):
We've checked every agency, every car lot, every storage garage,
and every police force in the country is doing the
same thing. We've even kept an eye on the export trade.
But not one of the stolen cars has shown up anywhere.
You know what that means, Paraday. It means we're up
against big time thieves, smart operators with a brand new
way of getting with the stolen cars. They are taking
(06:18):
those cars to the fun of it. Now, get your
men on the right away and you go to work
on a two.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Goodbye, goodbye, Commissioner.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
How about Joe Easton, Faraday, You're out of.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
Here with Joe Easton, Blackie, I've gotta start worrying about
two hundred stolen automobiles that just disappeared in the thin air.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I've got two hundred cars.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
Disappeared, Blacky, and why can't happen to you?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Your temp is worse, but your humor is improving.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Look, Faraday, I'll work on those stolen cars with you
if you will help me take care of Joe Easton. Now,
when you forget Joe Easton, do you want to forget
why you're on the police force.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
I'm not forgetting it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My job is to protect the people of this city,
teenagers of this town, of people Faraday.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
Who said they weren't And once Easton got to do
with tea dangers anyhow.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Plenty they think he's a great, big, wonderful hero, and
maybe they're going to want to be like him. Before long,
Joe Easton will be the idol of every teenage boy.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In this town.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And if we don't show them what's wrong, what's wrong
with this guy Easton, the town's gonna be overrun with
juvenile delinquents.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
You don't have to tell me that, Blankie, I know it,
and I bet I got the commissioner on the phone.
I think you'll agree that the kids in this town
are more important than storing cars.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Then we'll get to work on Easton.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
You've got that ignition box attached to the engine, Harry, Yeah, Johnny,
it's all hooked up. Well, you can check another nineteen
forty seven pu week off the list of Boss gave

quarter for the day. Three buicks nineteen forty seven variant. Yeah, yeah,
they were sure short. One nineteen forty one casing.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Hell, I guess it. But it close ex up this hood.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Well we'd attract a lot less attention if we drive
this thing off with the hood down. Ready to get
in the car, Yeah, I'm ready the hard way. Shame
the breaks, such a nice pretty window.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, it breaks my heart. People will lock car doors.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Oh let's go, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):

Speaker 6 (08:33):
This racket of eyes so easy, no risk once we
get the car.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, it's slick, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Yeah, but we got every cup in town going crazy
trying to figure out what happens to the cars we stay.
And this is another one I'll ever find but never.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
They're hard to find, Miss Easton.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No they're not.
Speaker 7 (09:30):

racket you've got going for you, and I'll take care
of it.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
And you who, Blackie, you're hurting my feelings? Well, you
know I'm not doing anything wrong, or should I say,
You'll never find out what I'm doing wrong?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Don't bet only that's not important. Right now.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You're a hero of the kids of this town with
your car and the big bank roll of yours that
you keep flashing.

admire a successful man. And I'm just beginning. I'm only just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Beginning, that's what you're thinking. Eastn't take my word for it.
I'm gonna bust you when your racket wide open. I'm

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Not show? All right?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
What about the car?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
And now back to Boston.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Blackie Joe Easton, big time racketeer, is becoming the idol
of increasing numbers of teenage boys. Blackie and Inspector Faraday
fear a wave of juvenile delinquency unless Easton is sent
to prison, but so far no one knows what Easton
(12:32):
is doing. To make matters worse, there's been a wave
of automobile thefts. The stolen cars have just disappeared in
the thin air. During one theft, however, a car owner
is killed and the policeman wound it. As we return
to our story, Inspector Faraday is at the hospital questioning
the wounded top while Bob Blackie listening.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Can't you give us a better description of those car thieves?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Can I an?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I'm sorry Inspector Faraday. But I didn't get very close,
and then I passed out.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
When that bullet hugged my shoulder. Yeah, all I know
is those fellows were both tall. There's one blonde and
the other dark.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Not much to go on, Parday, No it isn't, Blankie.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
Now, I don't worry about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Callahan.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You just stay here and rest and do what the
doctor tells you. I'll be back to see you in
a day or two.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Thanks, Inspector Saloon, Blackie Solong, Callahan, burning Blankie.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
It isn't enough.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
Those guys are swiping cars by the handful and making
them disappear. Now they've killed a man and wounded a policeman.
Commissioner blank was sure right when he said homicide would
be in on the stolen carcase.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What do you think, Faraday? You showed me a list
of stolen cars this morning, and I noticed something. But
this showed about an equal number of all the major
makes of cars. So these cars seem to be stolen
according to Well, some kind of a plan, as if
the thieves just didn't steal any car, but only certain cars.
Now what kind were they after when they killed that man?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well?
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Nineteen forty one patient with a guy in it, a
guy they killed, and there were two other cars brand
new with nobody in em on the block.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
They didn't get the patient today, No, well they didn't. Well,
I'd like to borrow in nineteen forty one patent car
Friday and one of them men. Why I'm going to
use that car as bait, and you just wait to
see what I catch.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Getting in patient Johnson. Now, Brackey, but we might have
picked a more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Doorway to hide in, something little better neighbor room.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Can't worry Johnson. The first five hours of waiting at
the Hottest.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Aren't going to be light again. Pretty soon.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
You think they'll steal that patient out there after the
sun comes up.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I've stone cars and daylight before. I think we're making progress.
The same two men drove by a minute ago and
slowed down.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I have done NAT five or six times already, Blacky,
and then driven on. Maybe they're just curious about that
patiently barked out there. Maybe they think something's wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Maybe I think they're casing the car to make sure
that everything's all right.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Well, well, I hope he's My wife believes my story
when I get home.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I've never stayed out all night before.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
How vouch were your Johnson?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I'll do it, Blackie. She's hurt about you.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Hey, hold it Johnson. Mmm. Becomes a car again. It's
thrown up again too. It's doing better than that. It's
stopped this time. Maybe this is it? I think it is.
Oh be getting out, Well, one of 'em is getting out.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's just what we want, all right?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That Johnson going for the car.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Well, let's grab it and the keys in it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't know a lot of luck. Why don't we
take 'em? Body in a maut little keys in it?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah, just too easy.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
You go on and not collect this one by myself.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, I see you later.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Too bad, Johnson. Only gonna get one of 'em? Won't
one be enough? Blackie? For now?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
We'll uh, we'll give this kind of time to prove
he's what we want.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Are you ready? Come on?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Script, you should stay back, Blacky.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You may try to shoot it out.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I've been shut out before. Come on, let's go quick.
He's getting in the car, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
You what are you doing in that car?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
How do you care?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Oh cop, I'm gonna have to wait for your pockets. Yeah,
you want to stop me up like he's going for
a rock.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
He's going for a ride.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
That was some punch, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Hate to have you mad at me. I wasn't even
mad at this guy Johnson. In fact, I like him.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He's one of Easton's old gang, John Waters, and he's
gonna be very helpful to us when he wakes up.
But let's not disturb his sleep until we get him
to Faraday's office.

and turn it on. Then I'm going into see Easton.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're going indo, I'm going in.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You're coming in after I've had him alone for five minutes.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
What am I supposed to do for five minutes?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
No, keep that thing running. Just stand right here, just
outside the door so Easton can't see you. I'll have
to leave the door open. Sometimes sometimes you don't understand
what I'm doing because I don't have time to explain.
But turn on that machine. When I turn on the
charm for Easton?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
All right, plucky, but here goes.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
I'll be ready in just a minute now.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Uh Now, listen, fellas, listen, you quit coming ahead of
the gym because Joe Easton told you to, and Joe
Easton looked like a tough, brave guy, a hero.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That was a mistake, believe me. Look, you guys, I
know what I'm talking about, and I know Joe Easton.
He's no good.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He's a crook and all crooks are yellow. Now, if
that's the kind of a man you want for a hero,
all right.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Go ahead and suit yourself. I do, Bobby, and I'm
going to prove it to you too.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
A little while ago I had a little chat with
your brave friend Joe Easton. And while I talked to him,
Inspect the parody of the police stood just outside the
door with a recording machine and we made a record
of our little chat.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Put the needle on the record with But I will

and you love to talk about yourself, don't you What
do you want? I want to know what you do
with a stolen cause what stolen car? There are a
lot of things you don't know, Eastern, but you do
know about those cars. We have your students. John Wallers
in jail. He admits he's been stealing cars, and he
admits he's working for you. What's the matter recently? Or
(20:37):
do you always shape when you have a.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Gun in your hand? Have you better get out of here, Blackie.
I'm not getting out of here until I get something

Come on stop. That that's fair, he call me. I
got the gun. Let go, car right, let go?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But you leave that gun on the floor please. I
think inspected Paraday would like to have it. What's Faraday wanted?
Because that's the gun that killed a man and wanted
the policemen during the tempered cart that.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Jest today, black I didn't kill anyone else I did.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
It wasn't me who wasn't killed that man and wanted
that policeman. Harry was Harry Danny's pick kill him, Bucky.
John Wallas was, yeah that you guys, there's a hero. Boy,
are you kill that man? Harry is his friend, but
look out, Matthew rats on him.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
He was their guns. But Harry Harder said, and John
didn't help much. John was in it to John and Harry.
Kill that guy.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I had nothing to do with you.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That better be the truth East And now let's have
the truth about the stolen car. Oh look, do I
have to knock everything out of getting putting a cheep?
Come on, I'll stop swinging, all right, all right, just
don't hit I'll tell you all about math. Come on,
what are those cars at the bottom of the art
of bay the bay? Why, Paul, We stole them over
their pots, stole them just for their parts. That's money,
(21:58):
and that is because funny, if you got party, we
were getting party man on no plots too. It's making money.
I'm still don't cause the hard way. Maybe it's a
hard way, but it doesn't have the risk involve and
planning to.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Get rid of a hot car.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Now, fellas, get a load of your hero trying to.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Make a deal. Just say, try nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I'm touching for fifty percent. The boys won't have to
know it. I'll just say we're not getting as much
with the pot as I thought you boy doing. Come on,
you're going to if you won't make a deal, you
know better. Look Black, I told you the truth about
the car.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Why didn't kill that man to shoot that cap?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
That's right, I didn't even steal it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Listen to this, Bobby, and all you guys who think
Eastern is a great guy?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Does this sound like a hero? Up the whole gang.
I'll even help about it. I don't care what happens
to you as long as it's bad.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Come on, But if I won't don't make me answer,
then it's not light talking with my hands.
Speaker 3 (22:49):

hit me, No, don't hit all right, Mary, that's now,
don't get it off now, okay, don't hit well you guys, fellas,
there's Joe Easton, your hero. There he is.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I see a lot of changed faces in here, don't you, Allison?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yes, Lacky, I do think these boys have a slightly
different opinion of Joe Easton.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
They did a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Why certainly, Bobby, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Bobby, I guess what's on everybody's mind, Blankie, I guess
we saw a figured wrong about this Joe Easton.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yes, Bobby, you did, and you all did. Now, look,
you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Easton looked good to you because he drove a big
car and had a lot of money, and he sounded
big because he talked big. Well, he wasn't very big
when he was backed into a corner, was he?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He was yellow like all crooks are yellow.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
He didn't have courage enough to make a living like
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, that was too tough for him. Mine character wasn't.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
He sure was a rat lucky and we wanted to
be like, hey, what this is swimming meet schedule for tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Are we gonna be here? Yeah, be here.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
To watch it, Blacky, Oh my shure, Bubby, I'll be
here and may the best man win.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
Well, well I know is that when you went after Easton,
the best man did win, right, Lugging
Yeah, we are merry all out the Tenth Street Gymnasium.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's what you say about this place is true, Blackie.
I'm gonna be all in.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I get exhausted watching the kids myself here. I'll get
out your side.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Okay, do you want a referee?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
One of the basketball games were boxing match I just
didn't watch.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How many boys in the club now, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Exactly one hundred and we started with only five six months.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Oh that's wonderful. Yeah, this done over here. I'll go
right into the gymnasium itself.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, one hundred boys. How does Tom Alice and the
gym and struck to handle so many at one time?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It doesn't The place is like a madhouse after time
for one hundred kids yelling to do the same things
all at once.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'll hold your ears.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hey, a hundred kids yelling and screaming.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Quiet in here, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
It's quiet?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
An empty tool?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are you sure we're in the right place, in the
right place, in the right day and at the right time.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But something's wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh if somebody just came through that door over there?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now is the gym instructor? Oh Alison? Hi, Tom, Alison
what's the matter. Where are all the kids?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I don't know, Blacking.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
They didn't show up yesterday or the day.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Before the day before that. Why not? I don't know.
It just stopped coming here.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
They started quitting in twos and threes a couple of
weeks ago. We don't even get enough now for a
basketball game.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You understand us at all?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, maybe the boys stopped coming because they couldn't afford it.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Normous Wesley. Everything is free like he pays all fees
and it's bought all their equipment.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh, Blackie, Oh Blackie, you never told me there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I didn't think it was important. But this is.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Those kids were having a good time here. I know
it because I've watched them. I could tell. Why have
they stopped coming here all of a sudden?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Now?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Why?
Speaker 8 (02:21):
And now back to Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who have no friends.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I can't understand why the boys had stopped coming here, Alison.
The gym was built especially for them, and they seem
to appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Yes, I know they did, Blackie. They were screaming for
a place to play their games, have their contests. Besides
out in the street. That's where they are now out
on the street again.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Mister Allison, have you talked to any of the boys
to find out what the trouble is.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
I've tried talking to them, Miss Wesley, but they just
say they're not interested in gym anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
God can't be right. I'm gonna find out about this.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well. Here's one of the boys.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's Bobby Botanist.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Hello, Bobby, I haven't seen you for a long time.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
I ain't gonna see me for a long time again.
I just came by to get my sweater.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I must have left it here. Oh hi, you Blakey
follow Bobby. What's the matter? Why aren't you guys coming
to the gym anymore? We're tired of Jim Blackie. We
got something better than dough. You have what all plenty?
Come on the out of the window. I'll show you
m so it'll be interesting. What's up there by me?
We'll take a look for yourself.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
See the kids over there across the street by the
big car.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yes, I see them.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Look, Blackie, those boys are they're picking up something.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Off the sidewalk, Yes, scrambling for money. Mary. That big
fellow by the car is tossing to him. That's Joey Easton, Blackie.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
Yeah, he says, there are a lot better things to
do than waste.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Time on a gym playing games.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
And he's right.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh he is?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Is he Blacky?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Who's Joe Joe ex racket guy.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Just out of jail.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
Yeah, isn't that ship's Blackie. He's really making though, He says,
if we'll string along with him and he likes us, oh,
maybe he'll show us how we can make plenty of
the don't too well, he hasn't yet, but we're hoping,
I see, And anybody knows you can't make any money
fooling around on a gymnasium. Ah, this stuff is out
for us, Blankie. Eastern's got the right idea about things,
and Jim, ain't it.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He listen, Wait a minute, nothing doing by.
Speaker 9 (04:16):
Some of the kids may find out I've been hanging
around here and tell Joeys I'm going soft.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
So that's what it is, Joe Easton.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yes, Allison, that's it, Blackie. If those boys do what
Easton tells him to do, they're asking for trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well Easton doesn't know it yet, Mary, but he's asking
for trouble. Himself. I tell you, Friday, you've got to
do something about Joe.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Easton doing something about Eastern What. I don't have a
thing on him. I go ahead and don't bother me.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Look, I'm not kidding Paraday.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Easton's been out of jail just about well a little
over a month, and he's already throwing money around us.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If he owned the US Mint where it's.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
No crying to have money, you don't have to Paraday speaking.
Oh hello, commissioner, Eh just a minute.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
No wise cranks, Blankie, this is the police Commissioner talked
to him, and then you're gonna listen to me.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Quiet, Yes, commissioner.
Speaker 11 (05:12):
Have you been paying any attention to the number of
automobiles stolen the last few weeks.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Well, I've seen the reports, Commissioner, blank.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, take another look.
Speaker 11 (05:19):
In the last thirty days, more than two hundred cars
have been stolen up the streets.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Of this city. I thought it was something like that.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
I want you and your department to.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Get to work on stolen cars, Commissioner, but this is
the homicide department.
Speaker 11 (05:30):
I know it's the homicide department. But this is a
big racket, and you know what happens in these big records. Yeah,
sooner or later there's a killing and there's work for
the homicide department. Commissioner, black Parent, do you know how
many of those stolen cars have been found?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Not?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
And do you know why?
Speaker 11 (05:43):
Yes, because they aren't being sold. We can't trace one
of them. This is something different than car that's This
is something new would be. The cars just don't show up,
not one of them.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And do you know where we've checked last anywhere?
Speaker 11 (05:57):
We've checked every agency, every car lot, every storage garage,
and every police force in the country is doing the
same thing. We've even kept an eye on the export trade.
But not one of the stolen cars has shown up anywhere.
You know what that means, Paraday. It means we're up
against big time thieves, smart operators with a brand new
way of getting with the stolen cars. They are taking
(06:18):
those cars to the fun of it. Now, get your
men on the right away and you go to work
on a two.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Goodbye, goodbye, Commissioner.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
How about Joe Easton, Faraday, You're out of.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
Here with Joe Easton, Blackie, I've gotta start worrying about
two hundred stolen automobiles that just disappeared in the thin air.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I've got two hundred cars.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
Disappeared, Blacky, and why can't happen to you?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Your temp is worse, but your humor is improving.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Look, Faraday, I'll work on those stolen cars with you
if you will help me take care of Joe Easton. Now,
when you forget Joe Easton, do you want to forget
why you're on the police force.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
I'm not forgetting it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My job is to protect the people of this city,
teenagers of this town, of people Faraday.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
Who said they weren't And once Easton got to do
with tea dangers anyhow.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Plenty they think he's a great, big, wonderful hero, and
maybe they're going to want to be like him. Before long,
Joe Easton will be the idol of every teenage boy.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In this town.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And if we don't show them what's wrong, what's wrong
with this guy Easton, the town's gonna be overrun with
juvenile delinquents.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
You don't have to tell me that, Blankie, I know it,
and I bet I got the commissioner on the phone.
I think you'll agree that the kids in this town
are more important than storing cars.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Then we'll get to work on Easton.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
You've got that ignition box attached to the engine, Harry, Yeah, Johnny,
it's all hooked up. Well, you can check another nineteen
forty seven pu week off the list of Boss gave

quarter for the day. Three buicks nineteen forty seven variant. Yeah, yeah,
they were sure short. One nineteen forty one casing.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Hell, I guess it. But it close ex up this hood.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Well we'd attract a lot less attention if we drive
this thing off with the hood down. Ready to get
in the car, Yeah, I'm ready the hard way. Shame
the breaks, such a nice pretty window.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, it breaks my heart. People will lock car doors.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Oh let's go, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
What do you laughing about, John?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
This racket of eyes so easy, no risk once we
get the car.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, it's slick, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Yeah, but we got every cup in town going crazy
trying to figure out what happens to the cars we stay.
And this is another one I'll ever find but never.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Hello, Hello, mister Easton, Yeah, miss Daston, this is John Wallace.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Hello, John? How to go today?

Speaker 6 (09:26):
They're hard to find, Miss Easton.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No they're not.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
They're just not going in the right neighborhoods. Try up, down, tomorra.

racket you've got going for you, and I'll take care
of it.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
And you who, Blackie, you're hurting my feelings? Well, you
know I'm not doing anything wrong, or should I say,
You'll never find out what I'm doing wrong?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Don't bet only that's not important. Right now.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You're a hero of the kids of this town with
your car and the big bank roll of yours that
you keep flashing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't happen to.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Like that, jell Yus Brackett. That's too bad. Kids always
admire a successful man. And I'm just beginning. I'm only just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Beginning, that's what you're thinking. Eastn't take my word for it.
I'm gonna bust you when your racket wide open. I'm
gonna do it for those kids. And I'm not kidding, Harry.
Speaker 6 (11:16):

little closer. Something in that the bus. Don't want a

Come on, go around the driver's side. I'll open the door.
You let him feel your gun on his wraps and

Yeah, I don't know what to do with this car.
Lookt hurry go open up on us. All right, feet

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Not show? All right?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
What about the car?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
And now back to Boston.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Blackie Joe Easton, big time racketeer, is becoming the idol
of increasing numbers of teenage boys. Blackie and Inspector Faraday
fear a wave of juvenile delinquency unless Easton is sent
to prison, but so far no one knows what Easton
(12:32):
is doing. To make matters worse, there's been a wave
of automobile thefts. The stolen cars have just disappeared in
the thin air. During one theft, however, a car owner
is killed and the policeman wound it. As we return
to our story, Inspector Faraday is at the hospital questioning
the wounded top while Bob Blackie listening.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Can't you give us a better description of those car thieves?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Can I an?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I'm sorry Inspector Faraday. But I didn't get very close,
and then I passed out.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
When that bullet hugged my shoulder. Yeah, all I know
is those fellows were both tall. There's one blonde and
the other dark.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Not much to go on, Parday, No it isn't, Blankie.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
Now, I don't worry about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Callahan.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You just stay here and rest and do what the
doctor tells you. I'll be back to see you in
a day or two.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Thanks, Inspector Saloon, Blackie Solong, Callahan, burning Blankie.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
It isn't enough.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
Those guys are swiping cars by the handful and making
them disappear. Now they've killed a man and wounded a policeman.
Commissioner blank was sure right when he said homicide would
be in on the stolen carcase.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What do you think, Faraday? You showed me a list
of stolen cars this morning, and I noticed something. But
this showed about an equal number of all the major
makes of cars. So these cars seem to be stolen
according to Well, some kind of a plan, as if
the thieves just didn't steal any car, but only certain cars.
Now what kind were they after when they killed that man?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well?
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Nineteen forty one patient with a guy in it, a
guy they killed, and there were two other cars brand
new with nobody in em on the block.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
They didn't get the patient today, No, well they didn't. Well,
I'd like to borrow in nineteen forty one patent car
Friday and one of them men. Why I'm going to
use that car as bait, and you just wait to
see what I catch.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Getting in patient Johnson. Now, Brackey, but we might have
picked a more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Doorway to hide in, something little better neighbor room.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Can't worry Johnson. The first five hours of waiting at
the Hottest.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Aren't going to be light again. Pretty soon.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
You think they'll steal that patient out there after the
sun comes up.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I've stone cars and daylight before. I think we're making progress.
The same two men drove by a minute ago and
slowed down.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I have done NAT five or six times already, Blacky,
and then driven on. Maybe they're just curious about that
patiently barked out there. Maybe they think something's wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Maybe I think they're casing the car to make sure
that everything's all right.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Well, well, I hope he's My wife believes my story
when I get home.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I've never stayed out all night before.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
How vouch were your Johnson?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I'll do it, Blackie. She's hurt about you.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Hey, hold it Johnson. Mmm. Becomes a car again. It's
thrown up again too. It's doing better than that. It's
stopped this time. Maybe this is it? I think it is.
Oh be getting out, Well, one of 'em is getting out.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's just what we want, all right?

the policemen during the tempered cart that.

the truth about the stolen car. Oh look, do I
have to knock everything out of getting putting a cheep?

with the pot as I thought you boy doing. Come on,
you're going to if you won't make a deal, you

the car.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Why didn't kill that man to shoot that cap?
Speaker 3 (22:29):

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Listen to this, Bobby, and all you guys who think
Eastern is a great guy?
Speaker 3 (22:35):

I see a lot of changed faces in here, don't you, Allison?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yes, Lacky, I do think these boys have a slightly
different opinion of Joe Easton.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
They did a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Why certainly, Bobby, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (23:22):

we saw a figured wrong about this Joe Easton.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yes, Bobby, you did, and you all did. Now, look,
you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Easton looked good to you because he drove a big
car and had a lot of money, and he sounded
big because he talked big. Well, he wasn't very big
when he was backed into a corner, was he?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He was yellow like all crooks are yellow.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
He didn't have courage enough to make a living like
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, that was too tough for him. Mine character wasn't.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
He sure was a rat lucky and we wanted to
be like, hey, what this is swimming meet schedule for tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Are we gonna be here? Yeah, be here.
