Well, Inspector Ferdie, would you like a cup of tea?

Sure, I'd say it, Miss Wesley. Why shouldn't I say
it is official? And I'm giving you an official message
for your friend Bustin Blake because I can't find him.

Oh no, no, that's to detail.

tell him to keep his nose out of this case.
But Shorty is gilly and he's gonna tryal I don't
forget to tell Blackie what I said. Yes, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:27):

good reason, just say, call up, tell us how much
you want, and when you want it. You're yes, you're
the boss. Right now you get ready cash at Beneficial,
the instant way to clean up bills, buy the things
you need, do the things you want, or service. It's
(02:10):
just a little friendlier and faster. Come to Beneficial for
ready cash and just say when you want cash for
any good reason, just tell us how much you want
and when you want it. You're a boss. You're the
boss's Beneficial Finance Company.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
And now'll meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, Blackie, do I look like a girl looking for
a job. I think you're a little too well fed.
That Gingham dress does make you look like a country girl. Mary, Well,
that's the general idea.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Isn't it for me to look like a milk maid
who doesn't know where her next tale is coming from?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's it. But now I'm gonna stop the car in
a while, and you're gonna get out and walk to
that farm house on the hill. Then then you're gonna
ask the farmer if he could use a hired girl,
and you're gonna get the job, I hope. Then what
one more? Then what? And you retain permanent possession of
that expression. Then you're gonna find out if Donald Bolton
is hiding out at his parents' farm.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh, Blackie, isn't this about the time I begin getting scared?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If it is? Doing now and get it over with, kay.
Donald Bolton's parents are decent, hard working people. You won't
have any trouble with them. Maybe they're hiding out the sun.
If they are, I want to know it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
If they are, I'll find out, Blacky.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Gee, I hate to ask you to do this, Mary,
but if I went snooping around, Donald would either hold
up or skip it. Oh sure, well as far as
I go. If you do locate Bolton there, call me.
You know. I'll come out from the city and make
him talk. It's the only way I know to get
Shorty out of jail.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
If he's there, I'll find him, Blackie. That is providing
I get the job. Wish me call call Sure that
sucks backwards. Everybody's selling things backwards lately. It started with
advertising slogans or something all blackie, don't you know anything?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I guess han that's not spelt in reverse. Now get going, Mary,
I don't care how you pronounce your words, but don't
be backward about getting the information we need.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm already glad you've come to work for us.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Mary.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You'll like it here. I hope we'll try to make
you feel at home.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yes to Mary, we sure will, and it'll be a
lot less lonesome. Now this pretty big house for just
mom and me and the hired Man's levy.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, thank you very much for everything. I would like
to telephone my mother and say I'm all right, may
I will.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Of course, Dear Paul, and I are going to bed.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Life begins kind of early on the farm.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You coming to well.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I was going to wait up for the hired man
to come in, but I reckon he ain't coming back
from town early. You'll meet him in the morning, Mary,
all right, yeah, I'll go with him. Mom, would I
marry good night both of you?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And thanks again.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hello, Hello, this is Mary Wesley. I'm at the Bolton
farm and I would like to get Barclay one four
or five seven seven in the city.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Please.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Certainly you're the new phone what well? Yes, yes, I
am strange to you that I know that there isn't
much in a small town that the telephone operator doesn't know.
I can't imagine that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Hello, Hello, blackey. This is Mary Tury, Blackie. When you
get out here first thing in the morning, I can't
tell you why over the phone.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ok, there are you all right? Mary? Does anypect?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Not a thing. I gotta go now. Good night, Blackie,
and don't worry. Nobody here has any idea who I am?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oscar now what that's backwards?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
For so long? So nobody knows who you are. Oh?
I you turn around to look at me or open
your mouth, the yo might fine, Hi, dribble him.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'll cut your throat right here. I mean, good.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Morning, good morning you are Miss Bolton. I imagine, yes
I am.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
But I don't think we'd be interested in buying anything
right now.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh I'm not selling anything, Miss Bolton. I'd like to
see Mary Wesley if I may. Mary Wesley, Yes, the
girl you hired yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Uh, there must be some mistake. We didn't hire no
girl yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Why. I can't understand this. Mary told me on the
telephone she was working here.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Uh, maybe some other farm.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
There's Tom Gordon's place over the past four corners our edge,
Stanley's farm about two miles down the road.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Did you try that?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No? No, I I I didn't. I suppose I might though,
say that young fellow working on the fence over there,
is that your son?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We don't have no son.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm sorry. I believe me.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
That's a hired man. God Gosnal been with us for years.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Mind if I talked to him?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm sorry it couldn't help you, young man.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That's all right. What's this all now? Hey, Josh, Yes,
stick there for a second. William like to talk to you.
I'll be here here all day, wara next week fixing
this fenced. What's on your mind, stranger? Well, I need
some help. Last night a girl named Mary Wesley telephoned me.
(07:29):
She said she was speaking from this farm and that
she'd been hired by mister Missus Bolton yesterday afternoon. You
don't know nothing about that. You didn't see a girl
about twenty three, blonde and blue eyes about this high
since the carnival came to town last year. You say
she telephoned you, Yes, and she said she was here
at this farm. Uh. Telephone center was located in town,
a couple of miles down the road. You could get
(07:50):
there and find out about any call made from here.
You'll be able to find the town, all right, I
think so. I wish I could be as sure of
finding Mary.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Excuse me, please, I saw you drive up from that direction,
But can you tell me how far the Bolton farm
is from here?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
About three for miles? Soldier, I just came from there. Hey,
it's ex soldier, if you don't mind. It took me
three years to get that ex added to the word,
and I kind of like to keep it on now.
I see what you mean. Say I'm in a rush.
I'll drive you back to the farm if you want
to wait while I go into the telephone office here.
Oh that's swell. I'm Adiadam's glad to meet you. Eddie.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I'm Boston Blackie, Boston black Hey, you're not the Boston Blackie.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Who is in a great deal of hurry right now? Yes,
I am. Wait for me, Eddie, I won't be long
o right. Hello.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I wish somebody would falk here sometime and say something
besides hello.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I'm a little sick of that word.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I can understand. Why tell me something, honey? When will
you work at the switchboard last night at about ten thirty?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yes, on the operator on duty ten at night.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
To ten in the morning. It's quite a stretch, isn't it. Yes,
quite well. I want to know if a telephone call
was made from the Bolton farm at ten thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Well, I can look it up if you like, but
I can tell you right now there wasn't. It's there was.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'd remember it.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
If I tell you what was saying to don't get
myself to do at night?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is that listen on calls?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Say you look a little tired? You know that tired?
It isn't the word, young lady. But will died would
be a whole lot better.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Awful nice if you had to drive me out to
the farm, Blackie, it's nothing any Boston, Blackie, my chauffeur.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I'm getting up in the world.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
One day I'm a soldier, the next day I'm a
farm owner, and today I got a Chauffer farm owner. Yeah, sure,
I bought the Bolton farm yesterday. Saw it last week.
You're an agent in town and bought it yesterday at
my price?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
How much? Fifteen thousand dollars. It's a steal.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
They wanted to twenty five thousand for it, but fifteen
was all I could raise, so they took it. Got
the papers in my pocket, agent Simon last night.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
So the Bolton sold a farm. Huh yep. Look you're
the new owner, right, sure body yesterday? Well, I wanna
go through that farmhouse with you as soon as we
get there. I wanna go through it from top to bottom.
If I don't find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna
take everything on that place of part starting with pop Bulton.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hello, what can I do? Oh it's you again.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yes, it's me again, mister Fulton. I wanna come in.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Sorry, we ain't receiving visitors today. Mom, hand me my shotgun.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What's look mister Bolton. We don't want any trouble, is
the gun? Pa.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I don't wanna no trouble either, Sun. That's why you're
gonna move off my property now, and you're gonna stay
off it. From now on.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It isn't your property anymore, Miss Fulton.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Oh no, who says so I do? I bought your
farm from mister Willis, your agent, last night. I paid
cash for it, and I got the papers.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
To prove it.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I don't care what papers you got. Nobody had
no right to sell this farm except me, and I
didn't sign no papers. I get going both of you
and first, unless you figure you will both look good
in buckshot.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Blackie, What am I gonna do? That money was all
I had in the world. I had to borrow half
of it at that.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I've got my own problem to worry about any My
girlfriend Mary has disappeared. But there's just a chance your
problem in mine and connected in some way. Who sold
you the farm? Mister Willis, he was registered at the
hotel in town. Only. If this is a phony deal,
he's probably skipped by now, that's right, he probably has.
But we'll go back and see, just make sure. Maybe
talking to a guy who sells real estate will help
(11:49):
me do a little groundwork work, said mister Willis hadn't
checked out, and this is his room, Blackie, number nine
twenty eight. Okay, maybe you'd better going along, do a lot, temporarily,
but only temporarily. Believe me.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Gosh, Blackie, I'd heard you could open anything, and now
I'm actually watching you do it.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You mean you actually watched me. Yeah, that's it. Mister
Willison is probably not in fun and any we'll make
ourselves the homes or Yetsie. Hey, Blackie, that's mister Willis
lying on the floor. He's been stabbed, yes, and he
It looks like the end of the road for mister
Willis and the end of the trail for us five years.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Do you sometimes feel uncertain behind the wheel? You know,
driving's more fun when you feel secure. That's why it
makes sense to make sure your car is always in
good operating condition. And for additional peace of mind, it
makes sense to.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Ensure your car with Nationwide Mutual.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Why because Nationwide offers you the broadest protection.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
On the road today.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
You can't be Nationwide's fast plane service. Compare Nationwide with
any other auto insurance and you'll be convinced full details.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Call you're a local Nationwide man. He's in the Yellow Pages.
You're you.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And now back to Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Boston. Blackie knew that if he could find Donald Bolton
racketeer son of a farming couple. He could get his
friend Shorty out of jail. He sent Mary to the
Bolton's farm to find out if they were hiding their son,
and though Mary telephoned Blackie that she was there and
asked him to come out the next morning, Blackie found
no trace of her. When he arrived in town, he
(14:10):
met an next soldier who had developed was swindled out
of fifteen thousand dollars which he had put up for
the purchase of the Bolton farm, and Blackie and the
soldier go to look for the agent who negotiated the
deal and find him dead. It's a few minutes later,
and inspected Paraday's office.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, yeah, I know, lady, I know, lady. Sorry, lady,
we haven't had any word of your husband for both farm. Okay,
try us again later, lady, her husband isn't missing. You
just ran away to get away from her voice. Yeah,
farady speaking, you inspected Parody AND's Sheriff Cokin's inspected. Okay,
(14:51):

why shouldn't I what's the idea of putting on that
twenty voice. Sure you talk to me, parad well.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Hooray, I'm serious, parody.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
I need help.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You ever try advertising in the papers. We got a
maid that way once.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Please expect it. This for Mary's missing. I can't find it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
First, she can't find you, Now you can't find her.
You know, I got an idea. It's a game you

Where did you say you were a speak a hotel?
Speaker 3 (16:06):

Speaker 2 (16:08):

Speaker 3 (16:39):
What's that noise?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And I tell him to get excited about it?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The higher hand in the next room.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Missus Bosan, I've gotta get out and right now now.
I don't like to do that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You don't come near me. Mary, Oh, I'm not Dad.
I have to use a gun.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Missus Bosan.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Just what are you I'm.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Going to have to go now and not do it again.
You don't make any disturbing by Judd.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Judd, and you hear me through.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
This walk, Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Alright, what's Judd?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Well, I got twenty dollars. I'm pushing through this crack
and the board says I take it and stet in
touch with a man named borced him black here in
the city. You tell him that I'm being held prisoners
here in the abbot and and Judd, jud please please hurry.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, Blanky. So it's a body, and according to the clerk,
it's Sam willis a real estate agent.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
So what So he was a swindler, Paraday. He took
fifteen thousand from the soldier here and gave him a
worthless seed to the bold and farm.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Okay, so he's a swindler and he got murdered. If
he was alive, all he get is maybe twenty years
and got paid off better than the lawer.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Do it sure? I know that? Forget this, Paraday. Suppose
Donald Bolton was hiding out on his parents' pond.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
All right, I'm supposing what do I do next?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
You use your head? Donald sells his folks an idea.
They ought to sell the pond the twenty five thousand
and go somewhere to make a fresh stock.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You know, maybe I'm a little dumb like you always
saved Lay. I must be. I'm still listening.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'll make jokes when I'm finished making sense. The Boltons
use a real estate agent named Willis handled it the tails.
He double crosses everybody concerned and pockets Eddie Adams fifteen thousand.
Donald Bolton finds out about the cross and kills him.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It could be. But where does Mary fit into this?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I don't know. Uns She found Donald's hiding place and
they're holding her somewhere on that farm right now. I
hope come on, Faraday, not you and Eddie and I
break into that farmhouse and break this case wide open.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Come on, come on, open up and the law and up.
Well it's a bad time, eh, all right? Come on in, Blackie,
you toady.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Don't worry Friday. I'm with him. A mister Bolton, where
is she? Where's Mary?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'll handle this, Blackie. That's the guy who says keeping
Mary prison.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That's the man inspecting.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, you what you do with that girl?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Come on, talk before I go to work on you.
Where's Mary Wesley? Mary Wesley, don't give me that innocent stuff.
Where's Mary Wesley? Where have you got a hidden Come on,
come out, start talking before I get talk very wet.
Speaker 4 (19:25):

Speaker 3 (19:27):
We know she's here, but where.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Well, just second, I think she's in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You want me to call her?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I certainly do. He's blucking Mary. Mary, Hey, Blacky. This
whole thing's mixed up, worse than ever. No it is.
I haven't seen Mary yet. I don't even think she. Oh,
oh hello Mary.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Hello Blackie and inspective Faraday. Well what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (19:50):

Speaker 5 (19:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Nothing, nothing, It's wonderful here. I'm nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh fine, Well you're trying to love it from it distance.
You're leaving right now?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
No, wait a minute, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I don't want to go, Mary. I I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You don't understand. There are lots of things at headquarters.
I don't understand, and you make me travel two hundred
miles to get confused. Time on, Blankie.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I'm not leaving without Mary well, Mary, Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm Dave. Why Blackie, I haven't slept as well in
months as I do out here?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Do you know people who have been looking for years.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
For the Land of Nod and I found it right here?
This is the land of Nod? Goodbye, Blackie, I'll call
me sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Come on, Parne, let's go any Hey, what about my money, Blackie?
You said you'd take care of.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That later, Readie, Well it's about to tame on before
I lose my temper in front of Mary. Goodbye, mister Bolton.
Sorry to bother you. You won't be annoyed again. Okay, Blackie,
not talk? What's this all about? As if you'll know?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I do? Now keep walking along this pan inspected until
we get to those bushes and me and Eddie hide them.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Well, if I was a genius like you, I suppose
I know why.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That's right, because we've got to go back in the
house and surprise for Boltons. That's why Donald Bolton is there.
Mary told me, Oh, Mary told you know? Where was
I all this time?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I didn't hear say anything Blackie, and nothing about any
Donald Bolton?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
She said it just the same. Here hide these bushes.
Want to get the car I love a new game, Blankie. Alright, hey, listen.
When Mary said this was the land of Nod, she
emphasized nod eh spell that backwards. It's don don for Donald.
She was trying to tell me Donald was there, and
he is probably with a gun pointing at her from
the kitchen to make sure said nothing about him. Nod
means don sure spelled in reverse. That should have been
(21:33):
easy for you. You were a backwards child. I'll wait here.
Probably are watching the road to see if we drive off.
I'll take the car into town and pick up the
local police. Just make sure nobody leaves. This is just
like a foxhole inspector with branches and.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
The laby that believes me. I don't feel like any fox.
What am I doing here? Anyhow? She don't you know
when Blackie's around? I don't know anything? Okay, both of
these wollw that supposed to be your hands up?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Quick? Hey?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Will you never mind? I know who you are. I've
been looking at pictures of you for two years.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Recognize me even with this beard inspector? Well, I just
borrow your gun and case witlessly, eh, Donald Bolton?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Huh, so you were hiding out on this farm.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Sure, I was the hired hand. I watched from the
house and saw you two hiding here. When Blackie gets back,
you'll find your Buddy's kind of matters, see that, you
or me? And I'm selfish that way.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
What about this soldier store of Bolton?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
What's that story that I told Willis to take fifteen
thousand bucks from Hoim and give him a phony d
Then I bumped Willison took the fifteen grand Simple, you
and the soldiers start walking toward the house. Paraday, Well,
it's suddenly gonna have a fire take place there.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Wait a second, did you pull the gasoline station? Hold
up Monday night?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Sure, I've been uperating from here since say split with
the gang. I'll walk nobody's got a chance to find
either of your front hour when Blackie gets back, prop again,
I'm blacking back now, I said, that's just to let
you know that this is no toy carrying. Okay, Blackie
comes down the cloud, I thought you drove away. That's
(23:06):
just what I wanted you to think. Okay, now that's
all of us go into the house and have a
little reunions. Getting a little dark out here.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Dar going up for me, to get away, give me
that gun back?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
He here I got up.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I don't hope he lives long enough to tell us
where he stashed your fifteen grand kent Jay, I hope.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So wait for me here, I'm gonna get married. Be
saying you too, my, oh my, there's nothing like a
nice peaceful day in the country. You had the whole
story figured.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Right, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
All the time I was talking to you, and Inspector
Faraday Donald Bolton was watching through the sights of a
loaded rifle from the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Were you scared? Mary?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Not up there?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Why should I have been scared? A gun was pointed
at you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I see what you mean? Uh, tell me what happened
after you hung up the telephone and asked me to
come out the next morning? Well, whoever grabbed me? You
know now?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It was Donald Eliot's the handing in m M thought
I knew his identity, so he parked in the attic.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
What was it you wanted to tell me that you
couldn't say on the parm oh, that that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I missed you and that I wanted to come back
to the city. Well, no, I couldn't very well tell
you that. For the operator listening in as I knew
she was doing.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Of course she was listening. She was Donald's a girl friend,
we found out, which is why she lied. I'm at
the call of her coming from the farm house.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, you know, Blackie, I'm glad Paraday didn't prefer charges
against pond my boat. And they were really very sweet.
They wouldn't have harmed me. All they actually did was
try and protect their son.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yes, yes, I know. Well, Shorty's out of jail, you're
off the farm. Any Adams is in the fifteen thousand
Faraday recovered from Donald. I guess the boat and cases closed.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, you know, Blackie, I kind of liked it on
that farms. Someday I think I'll get married and there's
a simple life in the country up a dawn, milk
the cows and maybe raised.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Chicken, raised chickens marry. Is that something spelled backwards?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
No, blanks that well, that is until the real thing
comes along.
Well, Inspector Ferdie, would you like a cup of tea?
Or would you say your visit was an official one?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Sure, I'd say it, Miss Wesley. Why shouldn't I say
it is official? And I'm giving you an official message
for your friend Bustin Blake because I can't find him.
That's why I never can't find it when I want him.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Oh do you?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Sometimes I have the same trouble.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
All right, So you have trouble too.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I listen.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I've got Shorty in jail and I'm gonna keep him
there because he stuck up a gas station right before last.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You get that, Yes, only Shorty tild Blackie didn't do it.
That It was a fellow named Donald Bolton.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Donald Bolton. We've only been looking for him for two years.
He's probably wearing some ech shoes. Bright. Now, now you
got the message. I want you to get.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Blackie if I hear something, all right, if.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You hear from him, now you know what to tell him.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh no, no, that's to detail.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You forgot to mention, all right, So I'm remembering. Now,
tell him to keep his nose out of this case.
But Shorty is gilly and he's gonna tryal I don't
forget to tell Blackie what I said. Yes, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
If you hear from him, good fine, well good bye
and sector. All right, Blackie's gone. You're coming here now.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Cash.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Beneficial Finance Company has the cash you want for any
good reason, just say, call up, tell us how much
you want, and when you want it. You're yes, you're
the boss. Right now you get ready cash at Beneficial,
the instant way to clean up bills, buy the things
you need, do the things you want, or service. It's
(02:10):
just a little friendlier and faster. Come to Beneficial for
ready cash and just say when you want cash for
any good reason, just tell us how much you want
and when you want it. You're a boss. You're the
boss's Beneficial Finance Company.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
And now'll meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, Blackie, do I look like a girl looking for
a job. I think you're a little too well fed.
That Gingham dress does make you look like a country girl. Mary, Well,
that's the general idea.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Isn't it for me to look like a milk maid
who doesn't know where her next tale is coming from?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's it. But now I'm gonna stop the car in
a while, and you're gonna get out and walk to
that farm house on the hill. Then then you're gonna
ask the farmer if he could use a hired girl,
and you're gonna get the job, I hope. Then what
one more? Then what? And you retain permanent possession of
that expression. Then you're gonna find out if Donald Bolton
is hiding out at his parents' farm.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh, Blackie, isn't this about the time I begin getting scared?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If it is? Doing now and get it over with, kay.
Donald Bolton's parents are decent, hard working people. You won't
have any trouble with them. Maybe they're hiding out the sun.
If they are, I want to know it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
If they are, I'll find out, Blacky.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Gee, I hate to ask you to do this, Mary,
but if I went snooping around, Donald would either hold
up or skip it. Oh sure, well as far as
I go. If you do locate Bolton there, call me.
You know. I'll come out from the city and make
him talk. It's the only way I know to get
Shorty out of jail.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
If he's there, I'll find him, Blackie. That is providing
I get the job. Wish me call call Sure that
sucks backwards. Everybody's selling things backwards lately. It started with
advertising slogans or something all blackie, don't you know anything?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I guess han that's not spelt in reverse. Now get going, Mary,
I don't care how you pronounce your words, but don't
be backward about getting the information we need.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm already glad you've come to work for us.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Mary.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You'll like it here. I hope we'll try to make
you feel at home.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yes to Mary, we sure will, and it'll be a
lot less lonesome. Now this pretty big house for just
mom and me and the hired Man's levy.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, thank you very much for everything. I would like
to telephone my mother and say I'm all right, may
I will.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Of course, Dear Paul, and I are going to bed.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Life begins kind of early on the farm.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You coming to well.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I was going to wait up for the hired man
to come in, but I reckon he ain't coming back
from town early. You'll meet him in the morning, Mary,
all right, yeah, I'll go with him. Mom, would I
marry good night both of you?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And thanks again.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hello, Hello, this is Mary Wesley. I'm at the Bolton
farm and I would like to get Barclay one four
or five seven seven in the city.

Please.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Certainly you're the new phone what well? Yes, yes, I
am strange to you that I know that there isn't
much in a small town that the telephone operator doesn't know.
I can't imagine that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Hello, Hello, blackey. This is Mary Tury, Blackie. When you
get out here first thing in the morning, I can't

Ok, there are you all right? Mary? Does anypect?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Not a thing. I gotta go now. Good night, Blackie,

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Morning, good morning you are Miss Bolton. I imagine, yes
I am.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
But I don't think we'd be interested in buying anything
right now.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh I'm not selling anything, Miss Bolton. I'd like to
see Mary Wesley if I may. Mary Wesley, Yes, the
girl you hired yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Uh, there must be some mistake. We didn't hire no
girl yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Why. I can't understand this. Mary told me on the
telephone she was working here.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Uh, maybe some other farm.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
There's Tom Gordon's place over the past four corners our edge,
Stanley's farm about two miles down the road.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Did you try that?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No? No, I I I didn't. I suppose I might though,
say that young fellow working on the fence over there,
is that your son?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We don't have no son.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm sorry. I believe me.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
That's a hired man. God Gosnal been with us for years.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Mind if I talked to him?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm sorry it couldn't help you, young man.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That's all right. What's this all now? Hey, Josh, Yes,
stick there for a second. William like to talk to you.
I'll be here here all day, wara next week fixing
this fenced. What's on your mind, stranger? Well, I need
some help. Last night a girl named Mary Wesley telephoned me.
(07:29):
She said she was speaking from this farm and that
she'd been hired by mister Missus Bolton yesterday afternoon. You
don't know nothing about that. You didn't see a girl
about twenty three, blonde and blue eyes about this high
since the carnival came to town last year. You say
she telephoned you, Yes, and she said she was here
at this farm. Uh. Telephone center was located in town,
a couple of miles down the road. You could get
(07:50):
there and find out about any call made from here.
You'll be able to find the town, all right, I
think so. I wish I could be as sure of
finding Mary.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Excuse me, please, I saw you drive up from that direction,
But can you tell me how far the Bolton farm
is from here?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
About three for miles? Soldier, I just came from there. Hey,
it's ex soldier, if you don't mind. It took me
three years to get that ex added to the word,
and I kind of like to keep it on now.
I see what you mean. Say I'm in a rush.
I'll drive you back to the farm if you want
to wait while I go into the telephone office here.
Oh that's swell. I'm Adiadam's glad to meet you. Eddie.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I'm Boston Blackie, Boston black Hey, you're not the Boston Blackie.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Who is in a great deal of hurry right now? Yes,
I am. Wait for me, Eddie, I won't be long
o right. Hello.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I wish somebody would falk here sometime and say something
besides hello.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I'm a little sick of that word.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I can understand. Why tell me something, honey? When will
you work at the switchboard last night at about ten thirty?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yes, on the operator on duty ten at night.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
To ten in the morning. It's quite a stretch, isn't it. Yes,
quite well. I want to know if a telephone call
was made from the Bolton farm at ten thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Well, I can look it up if you like, but
I can tell you right now there wasn't. It's there was.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'd remember it.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
If I tell you what was saying to don't get
myself to do at night?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is that listen on calls?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Say you look a little tired? You know that tired?
It isn't the word, young lady. But will died would
be a whole lot better.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Awful nice if you had to drive me out to
the farm, Blackie, it's nothing any Boston, Blackie, my chauffeur.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I'm getting up in the world.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
One day I'm a soldier, the next day I'm a
farm owner, and today I got a Chauffer farm owner. Yeah, sure,
I bought the Bolton farm yesterday. Saw it last week.
You're an agent in town and bought it yesterday at
my price?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
How much? Fifteen thousand dollars. It's a steal.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
They wanted to twenty five thousand for it, but fifteen
was all I could raise, so they took it. Got
the papers in my pocket, agent Simon last night.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
So the Bolton sold a farm. Huh yep. Look you're
the new owner, right, sure body yesterday? Well, I wanna
go through that farmhouse with you as soon as we
get there. I wanna go through it from top to bottom.
If I don't find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna
take everything on that place of part starting with pop Bulton.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hello, what can I do? Oh it's you again.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yes, it's me again, mister Fulton. I wanna come in.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Sorry, we ain't receiving visitors today. Mom, hand me my shotgun.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What's look mister Bolton. We don't want any trouble, is
the gun? Pa.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I don't wanna no trouble either, Sun. That's why you're
gonna move off my property now, and you're gonna stay
off it. From now on.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It isn't your property anymore, Miss Fulton.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Oh no, who says so I do? I bought your
farm from mister Willis, your agent, last night. I paid
cash for it, and I got the papers.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
To prove it.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I don't care what papers you got. Nobody had
no right to sell this farm except me, and I
didn't sign no papers. I get going both of you
and first, unless you figure you will both look good
in buckshot.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Blackie, What am I gonna do? That money was all
I had in the world. I had to borrow half
of it at that.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I've got my own problem to worry about any My
girlfriend Mary has disappeared. But there's just a chance your
problem in mine and connected in some way. Who sold
you the farm? Mister Willis, he was registered at the
hotel in town. Only. If this is a phony deal,
he's probably skipped by now, that's right, he probably has.
But we'll go back and see, just make sure. Maybe
talking to a guy who sells real estate will help
(11:49):
me do a little groundwork work, said mister Willis hadn't
checked out, and this is his room, Blackie, number nine
twenty eight. Okay, maybe you'd better going along, do a lot, temporarily,
but only temporarily. Believe me.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Gosh, Blackie, I'd heard you could open anything, and now
I'm actually watching you do it.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You mean you actually watched me. Yeah, that's it. Mister
Willison is probably not in fun and any we'll make
ourselves the homes or Yetsie. Hey, Blackie, that's mister Willis
lying on the floor. He's been stabbed, yes, and he
It looks like the end of the road for mister
Willis and the end of the trail for us five years.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Do you sometimes feel uncertain behind the wheel? You know,
driving's more fun when you feel secure. That's why it
makes sense to make sure your car is always in
good operating condition. And for additional peace of mind, it
makes sense to.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Ensure your car with Nationwide Mutual.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Why because Nationwide offers you the broadest protection.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
On the road today.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
You can't be Nationwide's fast plane service. Compare Nationwide with
any other auto insurance and you'll be convinced full details.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Call you're a local Nationwide man. He's in the Yellow Pages.
You're you.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And now back to Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Boston. Blackie knew that if he could find Donald Bolton
racketeer son of a farming couple. He could get his
friend Shorty out of jail. He sent Mary to the
Bolton's farm to find out if they were hiding their son,
and though Mary telephoned Blackie that she was there and
asked him to come out the next morning, Blackie found
no trace of her. When he arrived in town, he
(14:10):
met an next soldier who had developed was swindled out
of fifteen thousand dollars which he had put up for
the purchase of the Bolton farm, and Blackie and the
soldier go to look for the agent who negotiated the
deal and find him dead. It's a few minutes later,
and inspected Paraday's office.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, yeah, I know, lady, I know, lady. Sorry, lady,
we haven't had any word of your husband for both farm. Okay,
try us again later, lady, her husband isn't missing. You
just ran away to get away from her voice. Yeah,
farady speaking, you inspected Parody AND's Sheriff Cokin's inspected. Okay,
(14:51):
so Sheriff Corkin's what about it be inspected Blakey, No,
why shouldn't I what's the idea of putting on that
twenty voice. Sure you talk to me, parad well.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Hooray, I'm serious, parody.
Speaker 8 (15:02):

Speaker 2 (15:03):

maid that way once.

Please expect it. This for Mary's missing. I can't find it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Okay, so he's a swindler and he got murdered. If
he was alive, all he get is maybe twenty years
and got paid off better than the lawer.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Do it sure? I know that? Forget this, Paraday. Suppose
Donald Bolton was hiding out on his parents' pond.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
All right, I'm supposing what do I do next?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
You use your head? Donald sells his folks an idea.
They ought to sell the pond the twenty five thousand
and go somewhere to make a fresh stock.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You know, maybe I'm a little dumb like you always
saved Lay. I must be. I'm still listening.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'll make jokes when I'm finished making sense. The Boltons
use a real estate agent named Willis handled it the tails.
He double crosses everybody concerned and pockets Eddie Adams fifteen thousand.
Donald Bolton finds out about the cross and kills him.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It could be. But where does Mary fit into this?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I don't know. Uns She found Donald's hiding place and
they're holding her somewhere on that farm right now. I
hope come on, Faraday, not you and Eddie and I
break into that farmhouse and break this case wide open.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Come on, come on, open up and the law and up.
Well it's a bad time, eh, all right? Come on in, Blackie,
you toady.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Don't worry Friday. I'm with him. A mister Bolton, where
is she? Where's Mary?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'll handle this, Blackie. That's the guy who says keeping
Mary prison.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That's the man inspecting.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, you what you do with that girl?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Come on, talk before I go to work on you.
Where's Mary Wesley? Mary Wesley, don't give me that innocent stuff.
Where's Mary Wesley? Where have you got a hidden Come on,
come out, start talking before I get talk very wet.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Oh, if you mean our new hired girl.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
She's here.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We know she's here, but where.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Well, just second, I think she's in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You want me to call her?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I certainly do. He's blucking Mary. Mary, Hey, Blacky. This
whole thing's mixed up, worse than ever. No it is.
I haven't seen Mary yet. I don't even think she. Oh,
oh hello Mary.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Hello Blackie and inspective Faraday. Well what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
What do you mean? What is he doing here? Mary?
What have they been doing to you?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Nothing, nothing, It's wonderful here. I'm nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh fine, Well you're trying to love it from it distance.
You're leaving right now?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
No, wait a minute, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I don't want to go, Mary. I I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You don't understand. There are lots of things at headquarters.
I don't understand, and you make me travel two hundred
miles to get confused. Time on, Blankie.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I'm not leaving without Mary well, Mary, Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm Dave. Why Blackie, I haven't slept as well in
months as I do out here?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Do you know people who have been looking for years.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
For the Land of Nod and I found it right here?
This is the land of Nod? Goodbye, Blackie, I'll call
me sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Come on, Parne, let's go any Hey, what about my money, Blackie?
You said you'd take care of.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That later, Readie, Well it's about to tame on before
I lose my temper in front of Mary. Goodbye, mister Bolton.
Sorry to bother you. You won't be annoyed again. Okay, Blackie,
not talk? What's this all about? As if you'll know?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I do? Now keep walking along this pan inspected until
we get to those bushes and me and Eddie hide them.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Well, if I was a genius like you, I suppose
I know why.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That's right, because we've got to go back in the
house and surprise for Boltons. That's why Donald Bolton is there.
Mary told me, Oh, Mary told you know? Where was
I all this time?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I didn't hear say anything Blackie, and nothing about any
Donald Bolton?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
She said it just the same. Here hide these bushes.
Want to get the car I love a new game, Blankie. Alright, hey, listen.
When Mary said this was the land of Nod, she
emphasized nod eh spell that backwards. It's don don for Donald.
She was trying to tell me Donald was there, and
he is probably with a gun pointing at her from
the kitchen to make sure said nothing about him. Nod
means don sure spelled in reverse. That should have been
(21:33):
easy for you. You were a backwards child. I'll wait here.
Probably are watching the road to see if we drive off.
I'll take the car into town and pick up the
local police. Just make sure nobody leaves. This is just
like a foxhole inspector with branches and.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
The laby that believes me. I don't feel like any fox.
What am I doing here? Anyhow? She don't you know
when Blackie's around? I don't know anything? Okay, both of
these wollw that supposed to be your hands up?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Quick? Hey?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Will you never mind? I know who you are. I've
been looking at pictures of you for two years.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Recognize me even with this beard inspector? Well, I just
borrow your gun and case witlessly, eh, Donald Bolton?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Huh, so you were hiding out on this farm.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Sure, I was the hired hand. I watched from the
house and saw you two hiding here. When Blackie gets back,
you'll find your Buddy's kind of matters, see that, you
or me? And I'm selfish that way.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
What about this soldier store of Bolton?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
What's that story that I told Willis to take fifteen
thousand bucks from Hoim and give him a phony d
Then I bumped Willison took the fifteen grand Simple, you
and the soldiers start walking toward the house. Paraday, Well,
it's suddenly gonna have a fire take place there.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Wait a second, did you pull the gasoline station? Hold
up Monday night?
Speaker 3 (22:46):

the gang. I'll walk nobody's got a chance to find
either of your front hour when Blackie gets back, prop again,
I'm blacking back now, I said, that's just to let
you know that this is no toy carrying. Okay, Blackie
comes down the cloud, I thought you drove away. That's
(23:06):
just what I wanted you to think. Okay, now that's
all of us go into the house and have a
little reunions. Getting a little dark out here.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Dar going up for me, to get away, give me
that gun back?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
He here I got up.
Speaker 2 (23:18):

where he stashed your fifteen grand kent Jay, I hope.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So wait for me here, I'm gonna get married. Be
saying you too, my, oh my, there's nothing like a
nice peaceful day in the country. You had the whole
story figured.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Right, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
All the time I was talking to you, and Inspector
Faraday Donald Bolton was watching through the sights of a
loaded rifle from the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Were you scared? Mary?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Not up there?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Why should I have been scared? A gun was pointed
at you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I see what you mean? Uh, tell me what happened
after you hung up the telephone and asked me to
come out the next morning? Well, whoever grabbed me? You
know now?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It was Donald Eliot's the handing in m M thought
I knew his identity, so he parked in the attic.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
What was it you wanted to tell me that you
couldn't say on the parm oh, that that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I missed you and that I wanted to come back
to the city. Well, no, I couldn't very well tell
you that. For the operator listening in as I knew
she was doing.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Of course she was listening. She was Donald's a girl friend,
we found out, which is why she lied. I'm at
the call of her coming from the farm house.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, you know, Blackie, I'm glad Paraday didn't prefer charges
against pond my boat. And they were really very sweet.
They wouldn't have harmed me. All they actually did was
try and protect their son.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yes, yes, I know. Well, Shorty's out of jail, you're
off the farm. Any Adams is in the fifteen thousand
Faraday recovered from Donald. I guess the boat and cases closed.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, you know, Blackie, I kind of liked it on
that farms. Someday I think I'll get married and there's
a simple life in the country up a dawn, milk
the cows and maybe raised.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Chicken, raised chickens marry. Is that something spelled backwards?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
No, blanks that well, that is until the real thing
comes along.
