Speaker 1 (00:27):
Come on, hurry it up. Will your doc get the
scissors busy, get the bandages off.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Two weeks of work to give you a new face, Joe,
A few more moments won't matter now, now.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That the job's done. Only matter to me.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I wanna see myself. I wanna get outside and see
people again. Four weeks nobody to look at, nobody to
talk to, nothing to.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Read, just sitting here waiting for this minute.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's the last of the bandages here, just this one
that cross your eyes.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Where's a mirror?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Doc's are?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Here, I'll get no.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Wait, wait a minute, Doc, Never mind the mirror.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't want to look at my.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Face, not just yet.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Scared Joe, A little, doc, how do I look?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Did you do a good job?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The best you should have been a doctor, Doc, that's
what you should have been.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Too bad the medical school I was thrown out of
didn't agree with those sentiments, Joe. No, I am rather
proud of that face of yours, though nobody'd ever know
it was you.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
That's what I wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I got fifty thousand dollars I lifted for my firm's
safe and the police will be looking for Joe Harvey
only there ain't no Joe Harvey, not anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Hi, Doc, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I want to look at yourself now.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Joe, Nah, half a little bit. I want to talk
a little you know, Doc, I scared you when I
crashed in here a month ago, didn't I scared you
into work in my face?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yes? A matter of fact, you did.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, I'm gonna give you five grand for what you
did for me. The police never had my fingerprints.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They'll never know me now.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
They won't, will they, Doc, No, I never know I'm
Joe Hobby.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'll give you the mirror so you can see for yourself.
I'll promise you this.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Nobody in the world will ever be able to recognize you.
Give it me.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Giving me quick, doc? Now all right, eh, take a look, doc, Doc?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Is this me?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Me?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Joe Hobby?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I ain't very good looking now, Doc, am I? Ah,
but I am very rich and I'm free, clear and loaded.
Thanks Doc. Nobody's ever going to be able to prove
anything on me from now, uh.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
And now to the latest adventure of Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who haven't, old friend.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Okay, Doc, you can leave me here. I'll grab a cat.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, sure, you're all right, Joe.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Sure, after I got over the shock and see my
new face. Thanks for taking me downstairs, Doc, and thanks
a million for what you did to my kissings.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
All right, Joe, we're square cap hey cat?
Speaker 1 (03:22):

Speaker 1 (03:42):
You're still looking for that Donald?
Speaker 4 (03:44):

Spending the papers every day. Don't get them.
Speaker 7 (03:57):

and officer looking a fact. I'm right here.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And who should have been now the president?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Donald Tate Okay, Tate, don't you even blink or I'll
shoot you here.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
On the spike. You think I'm Donald Tate, Harry's Tita.
I was not recognizing the many got in my care.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's why I stalls.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Hated corses Tate. I couldn't miss knowing him. I've been
studying this picture every day for a month. This will
mean a promotion for me. Sure, but I'm not Donald
Titu officer. I'm Joe Hartthole.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm not Donald Taitu. I don't care who I look like.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I'm not tight.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
If talking killer only, I won't be listening. You're tait
all right? Drive down the police headquarters, kid. We got
a real prize package to deliver. So this guy Tate
we got locked up. There's nothing but screamed for Marston Blankie. Aye,
that's right, inspected Paraday, so let him him good?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Now, what about Blankie?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
He's on his way down, Inspector. You gonna let him
see Tate when he gets here?
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Why not? That guy's still yelling. He isn't Donald Tate
all He's calmed down now.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
And we never did have Tate spingerprints? Do we inspect her?
Speaker 6 (05:11):
What difference is that Mike. We got his picture, didn't we?
A dozen witnesses saw him, if that.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Cup a couple of them new tape. Personally, I don't
need another thing.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah, sure, like I need a hole in the head, Blankie.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Anything in your head would be an improvement.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Hello Rowlins, Hello, glad you're here, Blackie. Why don't you
say Ron's I said, what are you doing here? Blackie?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
That's better?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
We've got Donald Tait and he's screaming he wants to
see you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, I'm here, But is that all he's screaming? Man?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
No, In between times he's yelling that he isn't Donald
Tate and that.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
You can prove it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I don't see how I have a met tape, and
I don't know what he looks like except from seeing
his pictures in the paper. Quite a publicity job he
did on him Friday.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Got him picked up, didn't it.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Come on, Blake, if you want to see him, I'll
take you over there myself.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Don't bother. I can find my way to jail, even
though you have tried to escort me there several times
in the past.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Inspector, you got five minutes with him, Blackie, yell up,
you want anything?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Right, Well, taate, what's this all about? Oh Blackie?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I made them get you here. You're the only one
that can prove I'm not taped.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Don't count on this your tape. As far as I'm concerned,
I've never seen you before, and I've never seen tape before.
You sure look an awful lot like these pictures, though.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I don't care what I look like.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I'm Joe Hobby. You remember Joe Hobby.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Half of it is right, I remember Joe Hobby. Only
you are not Joe.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
But I am Blackie.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I know I don't look like him.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I can explain that, but first I gotta convince you
I'm Joe. Now. Look, the last time you saw me
was about six weeks ago. Right, was on a Saturday morning? Well,
it was in a barber shop, Blackie. You got a
trim and a shine. I was getting a shave and
working on a scratch sheeet, figuring out Monday's races. That's right,
in a placky so far, all right, Listen, I ain't
through yet. We got in a cab together and I
dropped at Mary Wesley's a popping No wait, first you
stopped to pick up some food.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
What color suit was I wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Let's see, ooh Brown, I don't know, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Good Horvey wouldn't remember that, but somebody who was trying
to prove he was Horvey would have all the details,
including who went about my suit? Will you believe me,
Blackie that yet? I don't what happened to your face?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I grabbed fifty thousand bucks on my foot. I went
up to Doc Weavers to have my face change. Nobody
know me, and the rat crossed me. He gave me
a cop killer's face, Donald Taits.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
A likely story. Why would he do that?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Why he figured I was gonna bump him after he
operated on me. He wanted to make sure i'd be
picked up. He knew any cop in the city would
grab me on site.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I get it. You coaxed him into operating. I am ah.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Maybe I did get a little tough, but I paid him, Blacky.
I paid him five grand right after the operation.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Your timing was bad, kid, I was too late. If
you are telling the truth, of course.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Blakie.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Listen, I'll confess to that lost me rap if they'll
believe Joe Harvey. But it's the chair of the keep
believing I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tap, sir, there's nothing I can do.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But Blackie, it means the real tape goes free.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Does that sound right to you?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I talked to reporters this morning. My story will be
in the papers in the hour, and how I want
you to go see Doc Weaver. He'll tell you the truth.
He's got no right to be sort of me. Now,
then you can tell the cops who I am.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Did you mention Weaver's name to the reporters? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That was smart to get to Weavers fast. The real
taite sees that story is gonna kill your alibi kid
and very simply too, merely by killing Doc Weaver.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Hello, well, I'd be ashamed you're admitted if I were you.
Do you know that you've kept me waiting half an hour?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It couldn't be helped, Honey. I'll explain why I get there?
Speaker 10 (08:51):
Where have I heard that before? And how is it
you never do?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
All?
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Where are you, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm in the apartment of a character named Doc Weaver,
and you've got some work to do.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
What's the connection between your being there? Am I having
work to do?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When I see. I'll explain that too.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
What you mean is you want to explain that either. However,
what do you want?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, Doc Weaver had a visitor before I arrived here,
a visitor who I think was a killer named Donald Tate.
I want you to get bandages and eyah dine and
whatever else you'll need to treat the badly shot up
guy and meet me at Shorty's place. Shorty's why there
because I don't want Paraday walking in on me while
I'm working out a plan, and he'd be sure to
look for me at your apartment of mine. I'll get
that stuff for me, Mary, please and rush it.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
I'll I know you'll explain why when I see you. Okay, Blackie,
I'll do.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It so long.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Say that again, and say it slowly, so and say
it before we get to Donald Tate's So okay from the.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Beginning, it's just what I told you, Inspected Faraday. I'm
Joe Harvey's girl. I've been out of town for a
month and I read in the papers this afternoon about
this man you're holding who claims to be Joe. I
can tell. I don't care what his face looks like.
I can tell if it's Joe or not.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Only it's ridiculous. The guy is Donald Tait. Hey, why
are you gonna tell whether this guy is your boyfriend?
You're gonna take his word for it? Well, hardly.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Only Joe's got a birthmark on his arm. If I
see that first, maybe i'll listen.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
From then on.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Well, we'll listen together.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Dotty baby, you're here, you're here away day. She'll tell y'all,
not Tate, She'll tell you'm Joe Hobby.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Well, it's how never mind will get in the sun. Wellness, how.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
I don't know? It's not Joe's face?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which arm is?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which arm's got the births mark?
Speaker 9 (10:45):
The right one? Inspected?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Roll up his right sleeve.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
We don't see anything cause I don't what are you looking.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
For for the birthmark?
Speaker 9 (10:56):
If you would, Joe, you'd have a birthmark on your
right arm. Only you haven't any breathmark, So you're not chill.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
That's what I thought. Best guy's Donald Tait, Dotty, dotty baby,
I'm Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You know I'm Joe.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Do I.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Let's go inspector. This isn't Joe Harvey. I don't know
who he is. All I know is who he isn't?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah, Faraday, say it nice.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And sweet now, Inspector, and maybe I'll have some news
for you.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Blackie. Where are you?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
And who cares?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Who cares? Sweetheart? Don't you?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
No? All I know is who came back from seeing
that Donald Tait guy.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And assisted he was Joe Harvey.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Only that was two hours ago. He is Harvey, and
I can prove it. Well.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Before you go making a complete jerky yourself, let me
tell you this. Joe Harvey's girl was here an hour ago.
She talked to the guy we got in jail, and
she swears it isn't Harvey at all.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
And believe me, she ought to know.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
She said we should. Maybe you had a reason for
not telling the truth. Listened, Parade. I've got a guy
who operated on Joe Harvey's face and made him look
like Donald Tate. Eh, he shot up pretty.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Bad, Raggy.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Bring that guy down here right away.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh no, pal, He's staying where he is, and I'm
staying with him. You see, only two people actually know
that Joe Harvey isn't Donald Tate. One of those two
people is Doc Weaver, and the other is the real Tate.
I'm gonna keep the doc with me and see what happens.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I'll tell you what will happen. You're in the market
for trauma, Reggie, plenty of it. That's what you're gonna
get out of.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
This, I added, I think I'm gonna get something much
more tangible Faraday. You see, the real Joe Harvey has
fifty thousand stashed away somewhere, and the real Donald Tate
would pay a lot of dough if I delivered Doc
Weaver to him. I'm gonna hang around and wait for
the best offer.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
And now back to Boston Blackie. While the police are
searching for Donald Tate cop killer, they pick up Joe Harvey,
whose face has been made over by Doc Weavers so
that he's Tate's double. Boston Blackie knows that Inspector Faraday
(13:15):
does not have the real Tate in jail, and after
a visit to Doc Weavers calls Faraday.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Refuses to disclose.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
His whereabouts, but insists that Faraday is holding Harvey and
not Tate. As we return to our story, Paraday and
Rawlins decided to visit Blackie's apartment.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He doesn't answer the bell.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Inspector maybe isn't home, Rolins.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You're getting to be a genius. Did it ever occur
to you.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
That Lackie might be home and not over the door?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
If you know what was me outside?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Come on, we'll break it down.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Hey, Inspector. Isn't breaking down a door against the law?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I will say it got on our way.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
There's a law against abstracting justice.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Isn't there? Come along help me? Okay, here go. Don't
look like there's anybody here.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Inspector, No, it doesn't. Check the other rooms. Blankie's not
at Miss Wesley's. Apparently he isn't home. He's not at
Dark Weaver's. We found there was.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Bloodstains black He told you kidnap Weaver, didn't he.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
He didn't say that exactly, just said he had him.
I'm gonna fix that guy once and for all, Weaver, Blackie.
I'm gonna call the papers and tell him a whole
story that Blankie's got Dark Weaver and that he's hiding
out somewhere, and that I want him for withholding a
vital witness.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
What good would that do, Inspector.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
It'll show everybody that Blankie isn't such a big hero,
and maybe it'll bring him around. So he'll cooperate with
us a little bit, will that'd be all?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Miss Wesley?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yes, I believe so.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
Four boxes of bandages, two rows of adhesive tape. I
dine selfadizing selpatizo.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Yes, that's as Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
You bought the same stuff yesterday. You doing the hospital
work again, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Not exactly, but that's pretty close. Well, goodbye, goodbye, Miss Lesley.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (15:11):
Yes, I'm afraid you will.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I wouldn't be in no hurry to go nowhere?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Miss uh No, no, just getting that car. I'll do
no screaming, don't do no nothing, no anything. Don't get cute,
Miss Wesley. I got a bottle of acid in my hand.
Your face won't look so pretty as something that it's
kind of spill out.
Speaker 10 (15:30):

Speaker 6 (15:55):
Remember the acid?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh no, I know, I'm Donald. Say it's sister, and
I'm wanted not fin me. Why are the cops only
they think they got Donald?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Take them locked up?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I want them to go on.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Thank you, mad Well, that's all right with me. I'll
call inspect to Faraday.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And tell them soon as we get away from this traffic.
You ain't gonna talk so cute. Turn right at this corner, Yes, sir,
Look miss Wesley. One man knows the guy in jail
isn't me, and that's Doc Weaver. I tried to get
the doc. Maybe i'd bungle the job and the paper
say you're a boyfriend. Blackie has them stashed away. He's
hurt bad, and that's why you bought them bandagesn't joking?
(16:30):
What about it?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
This about it?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I fixed Joe Harvey's girl so she wouldn't say the
guy in jail was Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I'm clean.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
If I can take care of.
Speaker 10 (16:37):
The phony, Doc well, I'm really not him.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Stop the car, kid, there's nobody around this neighborhood at
this hour. Stopped the car.

Speaker 10 (17:57):
That's right, little Mary? Come on open the Door's Blackie?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Well, I did it, I did it.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
He was there, just like you thought he'd be. He
practically carried me off in his arms, and I broke
down and told him this address. So then I waited
an hour and here I am.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Well, where is he in jail?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
He isn't here and he's never been here.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
Oh but budd he has to be. He had to
come here. Everything worked out just as you play.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Wait a minute, I mean to tell me the tape
did grab you at the drug store and you told
him I was here and he didn't fall for it?
Were Blackie?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
He seemed to.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Cut guy and he had to figure this was a trapper.
He intends to wait until the night to bust in here,
or you hop home. I'll call you if anything developed.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
All right, only Blackie, if you do catch up, Potato,
I want you to know this. He twisted my arm.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Now just for that, I'm gonna personally wring his neck.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Oh wait, wait just a minute.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Can't you just just hold the phone until I get
the door open?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Blease?
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Happened to me?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Goodness?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Just a minute.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Hello, I've been calling him for two hours. Hello, Inspected Farity,
I've been busy. What did you want?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Not you, I want Blackie? Where is he and where's hiding?
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Holydoc Weaver, Gosh, Inspected Verity, I really don't know. Oh
I crossed my fingers a little too hard.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Goodbye, Inspected Verity, and.
Speaker 11 (19:20):
Don't call back please ever, at least until tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Ms was And that is that?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Not quite very Oh not not not you? Why not?
You didn't want me to walk into what trap?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Did you kill?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yes?
Speaker 10 (19:34):
As a matter of fact, I did.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I figured that. I figured you gave in too easy
in the car, so I came here. I came up
the fire escape and got in that way. And now'll
get on that telephone, sister.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
That's a fine way to treat a sister. All right,
what do I do?
Speaker 9 (19:53):
Now?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Pick up the phone?
Speaker 10 (19:55):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
And called Blackie? Oh no, pick it up, kid.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I'm not falling.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I wouldn't mind killing if I had to. You don't
have to. What do I tell him? Nothing, I'll talk
to him. Don't tell him who it is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I want to surprise him, Blacky. This is marriage, Blacky
Tate Wesleys for a while, and I'm gonna meet you
and make a swap with you.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What kind of a swap? You're girl for Doc Weaver?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And if you deliver him, I deliver her alive.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Catch on, make me where will I bring Doc Weaver?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Get in your car with a dock pocket way out
on north Woods Drive. I'll come past you tour alone
in the car. I stop and we switch cars. You
get funny, I don't stop, and you don't never see
a girl again.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I don't have very much choice or a chance to
get cute.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
That's right, you better leave now, Blackie. We ought to
both be in there close to the same time. You're
a little nearer than me, so we don't get too
longsome way, and just.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Make sure you'll be the tape. I never been so
anxious in my life to see another guy with my girl.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
You know, sis, that this could be your last five
minutes to live, and you never think of that, not
till just now.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
If it's all the same to you, though, I'd rather
it weren't. Oh oh, that that's Blacky's car up here.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, parton. Wait when I'm gonna drive past.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
U see the docks in it?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
There?
Speaker 4 (21:34):
No cops are in it.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's take a good look, kid, It maybe a last
Well all right, it's black in the dock and no cops. Okay,
you staying here?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
And what are you going to do?
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I'm head for that car or black.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He walks up to this one, And if any.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Cops do trying to stop me once I'm in the car,
will have to shoot it out with me. And if
they do, they might hit the dock, so they want
cops are so nice that way.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Hey, Blakie, Yeah, start walking this way slowly on the
other side of the road.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I'm coming towards your car, and I've got my gun out,
so keep your hands high.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Got that, I get it all right? Start walking?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Nice weather, we're having tame?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Shut up?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Well it was nice weather, I know because I read
it in the papers. Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
So you here waiting before me I died, and I
gotta take you somewhere and finish your job I started.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
The time.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I gun.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Come on back by we come.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm coming stay. Isn't party?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Sure? Is them over on Kames?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I guess we can.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
So the other guy's here? Here's really Joe Harvey.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
What do you know?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Who's this guy in the car here?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Who's he? He was Doc Weaver, Paraday, and he's been
dead for quite a while.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
What's his body doing in your car?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The good old farday much mount little listen, try and
get this. Inspector Tate killed Weaver right after he found
out that Weaver had fixed up Hobby's face. Only Tate
wasn't sure he was dead, So so when the story
got in the newspapers that I was holding weaver. Tate
figured he'd have to find the dock and knock him off.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I get it now.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Well, Blakie, I'm glad you called me and told me
about this little trap. We got Joe Harvey on a
lastnee wrap and Tate's dead, so everybody's happy.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I guess that's right. So I've heard of people getting
into trouble because they had a change of heart, but
Joe Harvey wound up in jail because he had a
change of face.
Come on, hurry it up. Will your doc get the
scissors busy, get the bandages off.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Two weeks of work to give you a new face, Joe,
A few more moments won't matter now, now.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That the job's done. Only matter to me.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I wanna see myself. I wanna get outside and see
people again. Four weeks nobody to look at, nobody to
talk to, nothing to.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Read, just sitting here waiting for this minute.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's the last of the bandages here, just this one
that cross your eyes.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Where's a mirror?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Doc's are?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Here, I'll get no.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Wait, wait a minute, Doc, Never mind the mirror.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't want to look at my.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Face, not just yet.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Scared Joe, A little, doc, how do I look?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Did you do a good job?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The best you should have been a doctor, Doc, that's
what you should have been.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Too bad the medical school I was thrown out of
didn't agree with those sentiments, Joe. No, I am rather
proud of that face of yours, though nobody'd ever know
it was you.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
That's what I wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I got fifty thousand dollars I lifted for my firm's
safe and the police will be looking for Joe Harvey
only there ain't no Joe Harvey, not anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Hi, Doc, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I want to look at yourself now.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Joe, Nah, half a little bit. I want to talk
a little you know, Doc, I scared you when I
crashed in here a month ago, didn't I scared you
into work in my face?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yes? A matter of fact, you did.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, I'm gonna give you five grand for what you
did for me. The police never had my fingerprints.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They'll never know me now.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
They won't, will they, Doc, No, I never know I'm
Joe Hobby.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'll give you the mirror so you can see for yourself.
I'll promise you this.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Nobody in the world will ever be able to recognize you.
Give it me.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Giving me quick, doc? Now all right, eh, take a look, doc, Doc?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Is this me?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Me?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Joe Hobby?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I ain't very good looking now, Doc, am I? Ah,
but I am very rich and I'm free, clear and loaded.
Thanks Doc. Nobody's ever going to be able to prove
anything on me from now, uh.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
And now to the latest adventure of Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who haven't, old friend.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Okay, Doc, you can leave me here. I'll grab a cat.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, sure, you're all right, Joe.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Sure, after I got over the shock and see my
new face. Thanks for taking me downstairs, Doc, and thanks
a million for what you did to my kissings.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
All right, Joe, we're square cap hey cat?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Thanks again, Doc. So long you won't be seeing it?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Oh, I don't believe. I will.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Wait too, Johnny, Yes, Central. What are you staring at?
Speaker 9 (03:34):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Nothing? Hey?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What's been going on in town for the past month? Driver,
I've been kind of out of touch with things.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Nothing much having her police?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You're still looking for that Donald?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Take guy for a cop killing, but that's all.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's exciting. I think they'll get him, can't miss. They
always get a cop killing you now, So I just
picked a.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Spending the papers every day. Don't get them.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
I hope they do, say you merse, Hey, what you

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And who should have been now the president?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Donald Tate Okay, Tate, don't you even blink or I'll
shoot you here.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
On the spike. You think I'm Donald Tate, Harry's Tita.
I was not recognizing the many got in my care.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's why I stalls.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Hated corses Tate. I couldn't miss knowing him. I've been
studying this picture every day for a month. This will
mean a promotion for me. Sure, but I'm not Donald
Titu officer. I'm Joe Hartthole.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm not Donald Taitu. I don't care who I look like.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I'm not tight.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
If talking killer only, I won't be listening. You're tait
all right? Drive down the police headquarters, kid. We got
a real prize package to deliver. So this guy Tate
we got locked up. There's nothing but screamed for Marston Blankie. Aye,
that's right, inspected Paraday, so let him him good?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Now, what about Blankie?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
He's on his way down, Inspector. You gonna let him
see Tate when he gets here?
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Why not? That guy's still yelling. He isn't Donald Tate
all He's calmed down now.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
And we never did have Tate spingerprints? Do we inspect her?
Speaker 6 (05:11):
What difference is that Mike. We got his picture, didn't we?
A dozen witnesses saw him, if that.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Cup a couple of them new tape. Personally, I don't
need another thing.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah, sure, like I need a hole in the head, Blankie.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Anything in your head would be an improvement.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Hello Rowlins, Hello, glad you're here, Blackie. Why don't you
say Ron's I said, what are you doing here? Blackie?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
That's better?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
We've got Donald Tait and he's screaming he wants to
see you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, I'm here, But is that all he's screaming? Man?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
No, In between times he's yelling that he isn't Donald
Tate and that.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
You can prove it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I don't see how I have a met tape, and
I don't know what he looks like except from seeing
his pictures in the paper. Quite a publicity job he
did on him Friday.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Got him picked up, didn't it.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Come on, Blake, if you want to see him, I'll
take you over there myself.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Don't bother. I can find my way to jail, even
though you have tried to escort me there several times
in the past.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Inspector, you got five minutes with him, Blackie, yell up,
you want anything?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Right, Well, taate, what's this all about? Oh Blackie?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I made them get you here. You're the only one
that can prove I'm not taped.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Don't count on this your tape. As far as I'm concerned,
I've never seen you before, and I've never seen tape before.
You sure look an awful lot like these pictures, though.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I don't care what I look like.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I'm Joe Hobby. You remember Joe Hobby.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Half of it is right, I remember Joe Hobby. Only
you are not Joe.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
But I am Blackie.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I know I don't look like him.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I can explain that, but first I gotta convince you
I'm Joe. Now. Look, the last time you saw me
was about six weeks ago. Right, was on a Saturday morning? Well,
it was in a barber shop, Blackie. You got a
trim and a shine. I was getting a shave and
working on a scratch sheeet, figuring out Monday's races. That's right,
in a placky so far, all right, Listen, I ain't
through yet. We got in a cab together and I
dropped at Mary Wesley's a popping No wait, first you
stopped to pick up some food.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
What color suit was I wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Let's see, ooh Brown, I don't know, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Good Horvey wouldn't remember that, but somebody who was trying
to prove he was Horvey would have all the details,
including who went about my suit? Will you believe me,
Blackie that yet? I don't what happened to your face?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I grabbed fifty thousand bucks on my foot. I went
up to Doc Weavers to have my face change. Nobody
know me, and the rat crossed me. He gave me
a cop killer's face, Donald Taits.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
A likely story. Why would he do that?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Why he figured I was gonna bump him after he
operated on me. He wanted to make sure i'd be
picked up. He knew any cop in the city would
grab me on site.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I get it. You coaxed him into operating. I am ah.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Maybe I did get a little tough, but I paid him, Blacky.
I paid him five grand right after the operation.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Your timing was bad, kid, I was too late. If
you are telling the truth, of course.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Blakie.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Listen, I'll confess to that lost me rap if they'll
believe Joe Harvey. But it's the chair of the keep
believing I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tap, sir, there's nothing I can do.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But Blackie, it means the real tape goes free.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Does that sound right to you?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I talked to reporters this morning. My story will be
in the papers in the hour, and how I want
you to go see Doc Weaver. He'll tell you the truth.
He's got no right to be sort of me. Now,
then you can tell the cops who I am.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Did you mention Weaver's name to the reporters? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That was smart to get to Weavers fast. The real
taite sees that story is gonna kill your alibi kid
and very simply too, merely by killing Doc Weaver.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Hello, well, I'd be ashamed you're admitted if I were you.
Do you know that you've kept me waiting half an hour?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It couldn't be helped, Honey. I'll explain why I get there?
Speaker 10 (08:51):
Where have I heard that before? And how is it
you never do?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
All?
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Where are you, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm in the apartment of a character named Doc Weaver,
and you've got some work to do.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
What's the connection between your being there? Am I having
work to do?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When I see. I'll explain that too.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
What you mean is you want to explain that either. However,
what do you want?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, Doc Weaver had a visitor before I arrived here,
a visitor who I think was a killer named Donald Tate.
I want you to get bandages and eyah dine and
whatever else you'll need to treat the badly shot up
guy and meet me at Shorty's place. Shorty's why there
because I don't want Paraday walking in on me while
I'm working out a plan, and he'd be sure to
look for me at your apartment of mine. I'll get
that stuff for me, Mary, please and rush it.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
I'll I know you'll explain why when I see you. Okay, Blackie,
I'll do.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It so long.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Say that again, and say it slowly, so and say
it before we get to Donald Tate's So okay from the.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Beginning, it's just what I told you, Inspected Faraday. I'm
Joe Harvey's girl. I've been out of town for a
month and I read in the papers this afternoon about
this man you're holding who claims to be Joe. I
can tell. I don't care what his face looks like.
I can tell if it's Joe or not.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Only it's ridiculous. The guy is Donald Tait. Hey, why
are you gonna tell whether this guy is your boyfriend?
You're gonna take his word for it? Well, hardly.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Only Joe's got a birthmark on his arm. If I
see that first, maybe i'll listen.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
From then on.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Well, we'll listen together.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Dotty baby, you're here, you're here away day. She'll tell y'all,
not Tate, She'll tell you'm Joe Hobby.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Well, it's how never mind will get in the sun. Wellness, how.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
I don't know? It's not Joe's face?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which arm is?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which arm's got the births mark?
Speaker 9 (10:45):
The right one? Inspected?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Roll up his right sleeve.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
We don't see anything cause I don't what are you looking.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
For for the birthmark?
Speaker 9 (10:56):
If you would, Joe, you'd have a birthmark on your
right arm. Only you haven't any breathmark, So you're not chill.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
That's what I thought. Best guy's Donald Tait, Dotty, dotty baby,
I'm Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You know I'm Joe.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Do I.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Let's go inspector. This isn't Joe Harvey. I don't know
who he is. All I know is who he isn't?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah, Faraday, say it nice.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And sweet now, Inspector, and maybe I'll have some news
for you.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Blackie. Where are you?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
And who cares?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Who cares? Sweetheart? Don't you?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
No? All I know is who came back from seeing
that Donald Tait guy.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And assisted he was Joe Harvey.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Only that was two hours ago. He is Harvey, and
I can prove it. Well.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Before you go making a complete jerky yourself, let me
tell you this. Joe Harvey's girl was here an hour ago.
She talked to the guy we got in jail, and
she swears it isn't Harvey at all.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
And believe me, she ought to know.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
She said we should. Maybe you had a reason for
not telling the truth. Listened, Parade. I've got a guy
who operated on Joe Harvey's face and made him look
like Donald Tate. Eh, he shot up pretty.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Bad, Raggy.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Bring that guy down here right away.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh no, pal, He's staying where he is, and I'm
staying with him. You see, only two people actually know
that Joe Harvey isn't Donald Tate. One of those two
people is Doc Weaver, and the other is the real Tate.
I'm gonna keep the doc with me and see what happens.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I'll tell you what will happen. You're in the market
for trauma, Reggie, plenty of it. That's what you're gonna
get out of.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
This, I added, I think I'm gonna get something much
more tangible Faraday. You see, the real Joe Harvey has
fifty thousand stashed away somewhere, and the real Donald Tate
would pay a lot of dough if I delivered Doc
Weaver to him. I'm gonna hang around and wait for
the best offer.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
And now back to Boston Blackie. While the police are
searching for Donald Tate cop killer, they pick up Joe Harvey,
whose face has been made over by Doc Weavers so
that he's Tate's double. Boston Blackie knows that Inspector Faraday
(13:15):
does not have the real Tate in jail, and after
a visit to Doc Weavers calls Faraday.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Refuses to disclose.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
His whereabouts, but insists that Faraday is holding Harvey and
not Tate. As we return to our story, Paraday and
Rawlins decided to visit Blackie's apartment.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He doesn't answer the bell.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Inspector maybe isn't home, Rolins.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You're getting to be a genius. Did it ever occur
to you.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
That Lackie might be home and not over the door?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
If you know what was me outside?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Come on, we'll break it down.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Hey, Inspector. Isn't breaking down a door against the law?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I will say it got on our way.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
There's a law against abstracting justice.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Isn't there? Come along help me? Okay, here go. Don't
look like there's anybody here.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Inspector, No, it doesn't. Check the other rooms. Blankie's not
at Miss Wesley's. Apparently he isn't home. He's not at
Dark Weaver's. We found there was.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Bloodstains black He told you kidnap Weaver, didn't he.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
He didn't say that exactly, just said he had him.
I'm gonna fix that guy once and for all, Weaver, Blackie.
I'm gonna call the papers and tell him a whole
story that Blankie's got Dark Weaver and that he's hiding
out somewhere, and that I want him for withholding a
vital witness.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
What good would that do, Inspector.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
It'll show everybody that Blankie isn't such a big hero,
and maybe it'll bring him around. So he'll cooperate with
us a little bit, will that'd be all?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Miss Wesley?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yes, I believe so.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
Four boxes of bandages, two rows of adhesive tape. I
dine selfadizing selpatizo.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Yes, that's as Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (15:01):

work again, Miss Wesley.

I'm wanted not fin me. Why are the cops only
they think they got Donald?

You ain't gonna talk so cute. Turn right at this corner, Yes, sir,
Look miss Wesley. One man knows the guy in jail
isn't me, and that's Doc Weaver. I tried to get
the doc. Maybe i'd bungle the job and the paper

hurt bad, and that's why you bought them bandagesn't joking?
(16:30):
What about it?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
This about it?
Speaker 2 (16:31):

guy in jail was Joe.

get cute.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
That's right, you better leave now, Blackie. We ought to
both be in there close to the same time. You're

anxious in my life to see another guy with my girl.
Speaker 4 (21:21):

minutes to live, and you never think of that, not

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Cops do trying to stop me once I'm in the car,

they do, they might hit the dock, so they want
cops are so nice that way.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Hey, Blakie, Yeah, start walking this way slowly on the
other side of the road.
Speaker 1 (22:09):

Speaker 6 (22:58):
So the other guy's here? Here's really Joe Harvey.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
What do you know?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Who's this guy in the car here?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Who's he? He was Doc Weaver, Paraday, and he's been
dead for quite a while.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
What's his body doing in your car?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The good old farday much mount little listen, try and
get this. Inspector Tate killed Weaver right after he found
out that Weaver had fixed up Hobby's face. Only Tate
wasn't sure he was dead, So so when the story
got in the newspapers that I was holding weaver. Tate
figured he'd have to find the dock and knock him off.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I get it now.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Well, Blakie, I'm glad you called me and told me
about this little trap. We got Joe Harvey on a
lastnee wrap and Tate's dead, so everybody's happy.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I guess that's right. So I've heard of people getting
into trouble because they had a change of heart, but
Joe Harvey wound up in jail because he had a
change of face.
