makers of Pitchers, dandruf Remover shampooand I Do You Hair Tonic presents Dick
Powell as private investigator Richard Rogue inRogues Gallery. Rogue speaking the Saturday Night,

(01:56):
I'm going to spell behind you ofVogue caught me a while spending a
week and the fee from my lastcase in zestful living at a summer hotel
which was so swanky that the helphardly spoke to the guests. For twenty
five dollars a day, I hadone of the fifty bungalows on the hotel
ground, but thirty I could havehad one with a window. Well,
anyway, there was a girl upthere, isn't there always. She was

(02:21):
named Janice Cole, a sort ofa social secretary to the hotel. She
was about twenty eight. Her eyeswere so big in blue they made you
think of mountain lakes, and herhair was as black as a jealous rage.
She had a figure that made youthink you'd seen her before in the
swimsuit. Oh, she was realquality, much to my high blood pressure.

(02:42):
She was engaged to a society playboywith a dollar for every sun tan
in Florida, and his name wasClint Haye. There was dancing going on
in the ballroom of the hotel,and Janie was dancing with Clint, but
she was watching me. I thoughtI saw fear in her eyes. They
finished their dance right in front ofme. Well, I certain enjoyed that

(03:07):
exhibition. Clint cla'd you like adrug? Encing with janis as a wonderful
way to spend an evening. Ibelieve that. How about the next Jane,
Oh I can't reach it. Idon't feel very well. Oh yes,
I think I'll go to my cabincleant it. I have a terrible
headache. I'm sorry to hear that, dear. Is there anything I can

(03:27):
get for you? I've cut someasking. Oh no, I think I'll
just lie down for a while.I'll be back as soon as I feel
a little more like enjoying the party. After Janus Cole left, I ducked
clant and mingled with the crowd,fencing in an out of polite conversation and
keeping up a gay front to coverthe worry which was stampeding around in my

(03:51):
mind. I couldn't forget the lostlook in the eyes of Janus Cole,
a look that was so full offear and hopelessness that had haunted me.
I decided, after sweating out thirtyminutes of wondering why she was so frightened,
to drop by her bungalow and havea fatherly chat with her. I
casually worked my way along a chainof conversations to the open door, and

(04:15):
faded unapprusively out into the night.There was a light in Janus's bungalow.
I walked rapidly toward it. Thedoor was ajar. When I knocked on
it, it swung open, andI saw Janus lying there, a red
pool expanding on the navajo rug underher head. I took a few steps
into the room. Oh, Iwas on the inside of a giant bell,

(04:43):
cleaning to the clapper with a strengthof desperation. It swung through eternity
like a giant pendulum, and atthe end of every arc the universe was
shattered by the sound of petollion.I couldn't stand the noise. I let
go on the tremendous up sweep,and the cataputed through space at a terrifying,

(05:05):
breathless speed. The ringing of thebell grew fainter and fainter, and
then Oh, there was quiet.I drifted peacefully for a while and landed
as gently as a snowflake on asparrow's wing. And I rested on claude

(05:25):
A in the blackness of complete oblivion. Than you better come out of it,
Oh, go away, you go. Oh, I'm sorry, Roy,
You've got to get back on theball. Are you gonna find your
shop behind it? Come on now, Oh, you're gonna go away.
I'm not well. I've been hurt. Thanks going on that you want to

(05:48):
know about? Roy? I don'tcare. I'm on my vacation. You're
in trouble, Rocky Bedrooble. Rememberthat girl? Yeah? Yeah, I
remember? Well, what are yougoing to do about em? Get away
with it? Oh, I don'twant to talk about it, Let me
alone. Wow. Well, Iguess you've been hit on the head once

(06:11):
to off and Rocky most your nerve? Huh what do you mean, midget?
Don't fight you. I've got plentyof fight left in me. What's
going on down there? What areyou going to go down and see?
Rogie? Come on, I'll helpyou over the die. Okay, come
on, give me a push,you go. Oh, you're a fine

(06:34):
alter ego and I'm proud of you. Over you go? Oh go.
I dreaded opening my eyes because Iremember that dead girl lying there, but

(06:59):
I open them and last and whenI didn't see made me think I'd lost
my mind. Where the body hadlain staining the navajo rug. There was
a navajo rug, but no stain, and nobody. I wobbled to my
feet. My knees were made ofsoup. I grabbed the bed for support

(07:20):
and through my massive intellect into highThere were strange things happening here, and
they were happening to me. Idecided to stay mum and get back to
the dance to see what I coulddiscover from the behavior of the inmates.
I took out my pocket comb,dressed my hair around the bump on my
head so I wouldn't look like Ihad two wiped the bed and the door

(07:43):
knob clean of my fingerprints, andlooking much better than I felt, rejoined
the party. Clint was talking withNancy Bowman, another luscious lady on the
hotel social stamp. Hello, I'vebeen looking for you. Oh hi Clint.
Hello Nancy, Hello, where haveyou been? We're getting a little
fresh air. How about this dance? Nancy? God, I promised?
Clean? Oh, go ahead outin noble Janis should be coming back soon

(08:07):
anyhow, well, all right thenyour arms, oh are you, my
dear? Both of them are laterclean? You don't answer that cleans are
lucky man? Getting a girl likeJanis. She's what the boys in the
back room call a dish. Isuppose Janis isn't lucky getting a man with

(08:28):
a million not my type. NowI don't have the million of them.
Let's just been Oh, now thatJanis has her millionaire, I'm not to
get mine. Your girl's old friends. No, I've worked up here with
the Summers for a couple of years. She's a grand girl. Everybody loves
her. She's engaged with this,this creep of the millions. Yes,
they're gonna be married in two weeks. Don't you ever read the newspaper?

(08:50):
I guess it wasn't on the sportpage. Probably not the way Janis stopped
him. It could have been utall right, Frank, at that you
heard you. I never give upbeautiful ladies to strangers. You don't know,
Frank, the lady's home companion thatcan be taken care of. Introduce
me, Nancy, mister Rogue.This is Frank Pitts banda Jannis. Oh,
glad to know you, mister Pits. Thank you, mister Rogue.

(09:13):
Where is Janis? Anyway? Shepromised me some roombas tonight. Well she
wasn't wasn't feeling very well. Shewent her bungalow to get a little rest.
You didn't sist. Don't cutting inunless you have some very fine arguments
against it. Hell, I guessI haven't, Nancy. I hope I'll
see you later. You will.This is a temporary thing. What happened

(09:35):
to your dance? Rogue? Aman cut in on me? No,
that's Frank Pitts. It doesn't belonghere, Rogue. It's all shoulders alone,
money. I understand that he andJanis are old friends. That's right.
Thank Pitts has been in love withJanis for years from the same time
back. He's kidding. Oh,he was the love of that too,
desperately. But I don't feel sorryfor him. He's not good enough for

(09:56):
a girl like Janis. No,no claud a girl's entitled old friends.
It seemed to be the jealous type. I used to be a little like
that about Betty Callahan. I amnot jealous, Rogue. Did hate to
see a girl like Janets making afool of herself over and no good like
that Pitch. Since he arrived today, she's been moody and dejected. That's
the way it is. Oh,that's the way it is. Huh.

(10:16):
You and Janet had a spat overthe old plane. He did not.
You're being most impolite, mister Rode. Janis and I are happened to be
alone. Yes, there's a manoutside. We'd like to talk with you
for a minute. Why it's mostimportant, mister Rode, please come with
me. Okay, excuse me,clem you look a little upset. What's

(10:37):
a matter? Oh it's horrible,man, I ask what you're talking about.
You know, I can't tell you, mister Rode, but in all
my years and hotel management, thisis the most terrible thing that's ever happened
to me. Here he is misterMills. Mister Mills is our district attorney.
Mister Rogue. Oh, I'm gladthat I mister Miles, we gotta
do for you. You're Richard Rogue, the private investigator from Los Angeles.

(10:58):
That's right away. I'd like totalk with you, mister Rogue about a
murder. Oh yes, why sure, sure. Mister Mills. Always glad
to lend my talents to law enforcement. That's nice for you, mister Rogue,
because you can help a lot onthis case. Why did you murder
Janice Cole? We'll return to ourstory in just a moment. First,

(11:24):
dandruff on the shoulders and coat collarof a well groomed person is as out
of place as snow and July.That's why so many persons who want to
have a smart, well groomed appearanceuse Fitches dandreff Remover shampoo regularly. For
Fitz, shampoo has a special salventaction that dissolves unsightly dandruff. When you
apply Fitches to your hair and scalpbefore adding water, this salvent action goes

(11:48):
to work, though it's important toremember not to wet your hair before the
shampoo is applied. After massaging yourscalp briskly for a few minutes, then
apply water, an abundance of cleansinglather will form to carry away the dissolved
dandruff. Then the lather rinses outeasily and completely leaves the hair immaculately clean
without a trace of dandruf Yes,Fitch's Dandrefreemover shampoo is a relaid to good

(12:13):
grooming. Use it regularly. Youcan buy an economical bottle of Fitch's Dandrefreemover
shampoo at your drug or toilet goodscounter or have a professional application at your
beauty or barber shop. Now backto Dick Powell as private investigator Richard Rogue
in Rogue's gallery, my guilty consciencewas calling me names and getting me bad

(12:43):
advice. As I stole out ofthe ballroom with the d'a he had accused
me of murder. I knew whowas murdered. I've seen her in her
bungalow. Dead. Janice cole Dawas as quiet as a grave during that
walk, and not a bit morecheerful. I made a couple of abortive
attempts at conversation, but I mightas well have been talking to a totten

(13:07):
pole. I couldn't understand why hewas heading for my bungalow until he opened
the door and I saw Janis lyingthere on that blood stained not a whole
rug, just as I had seenher a half hour before in her own
bungalow. I tried to say something, but the words couldn't get by the
lump in my throat. I juststood there, my mouth hanging open and

(13:28):
my stomach frozen, and the hangman'snot I could feel the day's eyes boring
into the back of my head.Well, Rogue why'd you do it?
Why didn't I didn't kill her?Had he explained the fact that she was
killed here in your cabin? Ifshe wasn't, I? Look, rogue,
you'd better organize yourself. Huh.You're supposed to be a smart investigator.
Give me a gun. I haven'tgot it on me. It's in

(13:50):
that drawer there. Yeah, wefound that one. This girl was shot
to death with a twenty five automaticand the crench on it. We gotta
take your for comparison. Am Ion a suspicion for this murder? At
the moment? That's all you're underit. I finally hope you'll be under
arrest for it the next half hour. Oh, you do mills and a
homicide. You usually have to havea motive. What's that? Why are

(14:15):
you waving those newspaper clippings in myface? What are they as the motive?
You were blackmailing miss Cole? Rogue? We found these clippings in your
briefcase. What do you mean Iwas blackmailing Earth? I didn't even know
are now? Look, Rogue,you're smarter than that. There's a whole
envelope full of clippings covering miss Cole'strial for the murder of her first husband
back in for Saic, New Jersey. Her name was Jane Sherman then,

(14:37):
and she was released for lack ofevidence. Remember the trial, of course,
I do poisoning. Do you foundout that this Jane Sherman now known
as Janice Cole was all set tomarry a million dollars and you've been blackmailing?
Oh? I don't know anything aboutit. I tell you, I
don't know how those clippings got intomy briefcase. It must have been planted
there when I was knocked out inJanis's bungalow. It's a switch rogue.

(14:58):
You were knocked out in her glorywent h Look Mills, I know this
whole thing is going to sound fantastic, but I want to tell you the
whole story. I came up hereon my vacation. I never saw Janice
Cole or whatever her name was beforeto night. Disbelief walked across the DA's
face as I unspun the web ofcircumstances which tied me into this murder.

(15:22):
As I listened to my own story, I knew I wouldn't believe it myself
if I hadn't been there. Ishowed him the bump on my noggin.
He just nodded. I talked on, and as I talked, I realized
that I was acting like every murdererI'd ever questioned. I know. My
face was red, my eyes wereshifting as I bobb eat my brain and
trying to think of some circumstance whichwould at least give me the benefit of

(15:45):
a reasonable doubt. Finally I stoppedtalking. He took my fingerprints and we
went to Janice Cole's bungalow. ThereI got my first break. All right,
rogue, Now where was the buddylying when you first? Right here?
Right here? Come on, looklook here, Look on at this
rug. Blood on the floor whereit's seeped through the rug that's now in

(16:07):
my bungalow. Do you see it? Yeah? Blood? All right,
all right, that's the first thingthat's made sen since we got together.
I suppose there is an outside chancethat somebody's trying to frame you. Enough
of a chance saw a conviction wouldbe hard to get, mister da Look,
you'll know me. I've got alittle standing in my professional, little
substance. Give me twenty four hoursto get this thing hung around the right
man's neck. All right, Idon't have you locked up tonight. Will

(16:30):
you try and have the right manfor me in the morning, I'll have
him. Now tell me who knowsabout the murder. Well, the maid
who wanted in your cutage to turnyour bed down for the night, and
the manager, though I've told himboth to keep quiet until I get in
the go ahead to talk. Thennone of the guests know about it.
Yet it kept the killer. That'sright as far as I know. Okay,
okay, Now you keep it thatwindled morning and I'll come up with

(16:52):
a guilty man for you. Bigtalk. I had been framed with loving
care, like a sweethearts picture.The DA shoved off to take care of
the grizzly details of moving the bodyfrom its temporary resting place on my bungalow
floor, and I started shaking JanieCole's bungalow down. There were particles of

(17:17):
curved glass on the floor near wherethe body had been lying. I picked
him up carefully and fitted the largerpieces together. They could only have been
the crystal of a small square wristwatch. It might be the clue to
the killer. I went back tothe main hotel building. The Saturday night
party was still going strong. Irejoined the merry throng and looked for Frank.

(17:41):
He seemed to me to be thelogical suspect. He was from Janis
Col's hometown. He would have knownabout her trial for murder. I found
him talking with Nancy in a corner. He had on a large round wristwise,
Nancy's watch was a dainty diamond andruby affair, small and oblong.

(18:03):
I have not I just why youdisappointed? I wanted to get rid of
brains that. Wow, this isa good time, is it, Amy?
I have the next one? Youmay have all the rest of the
movie life. Where what's about?At you? You have a pencil?
Look, bar was just trying tofigure something out. I was supposed to
have a dance with you at nineo'clock? Where were you? I was

(18:26):
here. I got here just atnine, didn't I? Friend, you
don't try to prove anything by me, baby, I don't know. At
nine o'clock I was having a drinkwith Clint Hayes in my bungalow. Well,
it goes your alibi and Nancy,you weren't here, alibi? Why
would I need an alibi? Iwas here, you weren't. I looked
all over for you. No,let's not argue about it. It's out
the next one. Huh. I'llbe right back. Okay, no trip

(18:47):
now all right, Clint? Whyoh, how come you're sitting this one?
Not? Oh? I am hello, r I'm sorry I started you.
I was just in a deep fuck. Nancy, come back in.
No, Nancy, I just changedher name there, if you don't mind.
I'm kind of worried about her.Well, she's subject to headaches like
this, pook kid. Maybe you'dbetter run over and have a talk with

(19:08):
her. Huh. I hate tobother when she's feeling bad. Look,
Clant, just to settle a littleargument, are you and Frank Pitts having
a drink in his bungalow at nineo'clock? Yes, a matter of fact,
we were. How do you knowthat? He just told me that's
a silly little argument. I was. Janni would hurry back in time for
the last dance. At least.Clant Hay has had on a large square

(19:34):
wrist watch, and he and Frankhad unbreakable alibib. Nancy had none.
They were my three prime suspects,and it looked to me like Nancy was
about to be elected. I wassitting there and looking for Nancy and carrying
on a pointless discussion on headaches therecausing cure with Clant when Nancy came running
over. Come on, Clant,you too, Richard. We're all going

(19:56):
down to the pool for a moonlikedip. And I don't think I wanted
to Nancy. Oh, come on, it's because Janie is feeling rocky.
Den. There's no reason for youto be grumpy. Come on, Richard,
get your swim trunks and give thegirls a tree. All right,
all right, I'm in Come on, Clant, a little depity'd all.
Come on, Clant might as well. Clant. Sounds like a good idea.
Yes, Richard and Clint are crazyabout the idea, aren't you.

(20:18):
Oh okay, I'll join you fora while. Nice man, Clant,
hurry up now see it's the pool. We'll continue our story in just a
moment. First, a word tothe ladies. Are you planning to have
a new permanent to help you achievethat cool, crisp look this summer?

(20:41):
If you are, here's a goodpoint to remember. Shampooing with Fitch's dandrofremover
shampoo will put your hair into grandcondition for that cold wave or permanent That's
because Fitches dandroofremover shampoo is such athorough cleansing agent. It gets the hair
immaculately clean. And Dan Refree thensaid it's completely soluble in water. It

(21:02):
rinses out easily, leaving no dullsoapy film. Your hair is left radiant
with no dirt, dandroof or soapyfilm clinging to the hair strands to obstruct
the work of the waving solution.Yes, permanent wave equipment manufacturers such as
the Realistic Permanent Wave Machine Company,E. Frederick Incorporated and du Art Manufacturing

(21:22):
Company all agree that really clean hairis the first requisite to a successful permanent
wave. For a soft, naturallooking wave, prepare your hair first with
Fitch f I th Fitches Dandroof removershampoo. Then use Fitches regularly to keep
your wave looking lovely. I'll backto Dick Powell as private investigator Richard Rogue

(21:51):
in Rose Gallery my performance in thepool that night may Nero's fiddle Solow when
the light of a burning room seemedlike the height of propriety. Here was
Richard the fall guy Rogue, swimmingand laughing with Frank, Clint and Nancy,
a bunch of murder suspects a matterof hours before the law put a

(22:12):
pair of stylishly playing bracelets on meand claimed me for its own. If
I hadn't solved the murder of JanisCole, but there was method in my
madness. That swim gave me theinformation I wanted. In fact, it
gave me the murderer. I leftbefore the swimming party broke up and went
to one of the guest bungalows.An open window made the job of getting

(22:33):
in as easy as falling in love. I thound of what I was looking
for in a chest of drawers.Then I sat down and waited for my
victim to come in and turn onthe lights. Rugue, what are you
doing here waiting to talk of youabout a murder? Clint? Shut the
door, Come in and sit on, Clint. I want to know all

(22:56):
about what happened to Janie Dennis.Something's happen to Genis. Yes, Janison
don't actually Innison? Well do youknow about her murder? I didn't kill
it. What makes you think Ikilled her? I didn't say you killed
her, but I'm sure you knowsomething about it. You know you shouldn't
get involved in murdered Clant, it'stoo complicated. You're just talking rug.
You killed her. You were blackmailerwhen you killed her. No, No,

(23:18):
Clant, you weren't supposed to knowanything about that. In fact,
you couldn't have known anything about itunless you were the guy who framed me
so nicely. I'm a little madat you for that. You know,
I'm going to get a confession ofthat murder out of you somewhere or other.
And do you feel like talking?You do? I have to beat
it out of here? That makesyou think I did it? Rud?
Take off? Take off your wristwatch. Yeah, now look at your wrist

(23:42):
right. You see that small squareof white skin where you used to wear
your small square wristwatch. That wasthe giveaway, Clint. You see this
watch here, the one I foundhidden out of the shirts and the chester
drawers. There the crystal's broken Clint, that was broken in the struggle with
Janiston I just before you out here. Broken glass was found on the floor

(24:02):
of the cabin right where the bodywas before you moved it to mine.
How do you feel anymore like talking? Clint? Why did you kill her.
I didn't kill her. I didn'tkill her. I got until morning
for you to start talking, andI've got more socks in a ten story
laundry. Letn't know when you wantto start singing. You don't know what
happened in that room, And you'regonna tell me I didn't kill her.
I didn't. I swear I didn't. Rogue. I was there, Sure

(24:25):
I was there. But you didn'tkill her? Who did? I can't
tell you. I come on,Clint, you're not smart enough to work
out that frame on me. Whowas in this with you? I wouldn't
answer that if I were. Youdrop the gun, Roge. Oh oh,
hello, Frank, you're mixed upin this too. Huh wow.
Maybe we can arrange a double execution. I didn't tell him anything. I

(24:48):
didn't tell a thing. I knowit. I was listening, sure sure
that due to you were the brainsof this deal, weren't you, Frank?
It's pretty obvious that that quivering messover there wasn't, isn't it?
Good thing? I was keeping myeye on him to night. You see,
Rogue, When he opened the doorand turned on the lights, I
saw you sitting there, and that'swhy I came in the back way for

(25:08):
the parade, that Clint would talktoo much. You think of everything,
don't you try? What are wegonna do now, Frank? This this
rogue he he knows I was therewhen Janus was murdered, knows you were
there. Well, you might justas well know that you shot her?
Then? Uh you did you knowwhat? It was? An accident?
Was it? I'll decide that forgettingme Fellas. Oh no, no,
we're not forgetting you, mister rogue. It really doesn't make any difference who

(25:32):
killed Janis as long as you disappearwith all the evidence pointing to the fact
that you did it. No,no, no, Frank, I want
any more killing you. Shut up. I'm handling this affair. I'm going
to keep you out of the gaschamber. Clint, if you'll just shut
up and do as I tell you, take Rogue's necktie off and tie his
hands. We're gonna knock him offand throw him over a canyon. We're'll
never be found. Ah, well, I might as well take a crack
out of Give me that gun.Grab him, Clint, grab him?

(25:56):
Well, oh thanks, Clare,very handy with that chair. How come
you hit him? I couldn't.I couldn't let him. I just couldn't.
All right, all right, takehis necktie off and tie his hands
with it. We're gonna take himfor a ride down to see the district
attorney. I killed her, gotkilled Janis, But it was an accident.
I sweat with an accident. You'llhave a dandy chance to explain that

(26:17):
to Jorry. Clint. Nah,come here, I've I've got something for
you that's helping to frame me.Oh brother, is that da gonna love
me? Well? That was theend of the cave. Frank had been

(26:38):
blackmailing Nancy Janis Cole ever since herengagement a wealthy playboy Clint Hayes was announced,
and that night, when Frank wentto Janis's cabin, Clint followed him.
When Clint arrived on the scene,jealousy took over. Frank grew a
gun and Clint jumped him. Inthe struggle which followed, Janis was shot
while the gun was in clint hand. Helpful, the Q scared plant at

(27:00):
the murder and talked me and talkedto him. In the framing need,
Frank saw lovely visions of many happyyears of blackmailing a millionaire. That broken
watch crystal was the only thing thatkept the frame from working. So I
get my brains beat out. Iput the arm on a killer and blackmailer.
My vacation is broken up like adrop light bulb, and I didn't

(27:22):
make a dime. Oh well,let's face it. If I hadn't been
so clever, I'd be doing alife sentence instead of Clinton. Frank,
I would like that. No,I've heard. I've heard that stone walls
do not a prison make, noriron iron bars a cave. But it's
hard to illustrate the truth of thatold saw to a guy who's behind the

(27:44):
farmer looking through the latter. Youknow what I mean. This is dick
