Speaker 1 (00:00):
The National Broadcasting Company presents The Adventures of Sam Spade Detective.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Sam Stay Detective Agency, Hi Sa, Who else did you
wind it?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Upstairs? Is it all over? If you're talking about the
usual happy ending with the villains dead and buried and
the lover's joining hands while a camera does a slow fade,
it is not all over, sweetheart. What do you mean say?
The villains in this piece are for real still doing
business at the same old stand from one end of
the country to the other.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh Sam, you sound so grim.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Only because I have a grim tail to tell little
one so worn all within earshot, that if they seek
bluebirds of happiness, sweetness and light and love conquers all,
to try another detective, Because even now I am on
my way with something that might butt into your sleep
for the next few days. To it my report on
the Denny Shane Kate for NBC. William Spear Radio is
(01:08):
outstanding producer, director of mystery and crime Drama brings you
the greatest private detective of them all, starring Stephen Dunn
in the Adventures of Sam Spade. Effie, didn't hear you
(01:33):
come in? Oh tired Sam? Yeah, you look pale. I
guess maybe I'm a little sick too, now.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Sam, I warned you about heavy lunches when you're on
a cane.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Not that kind of sick angel. This kind starts at
your shoetops, runs up your backbone, and kicks around in
your head to your where's the book?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Okay to John Q. Public from Sam Mule Spade license
number one three seven, five nine six, subject the Dennys
Shane Caper. There, John Chu. She was sprawled in the
corner chair when I got back from lunch, A kid
of sixteen or so, complete with Bobby socks, hair ribbons,
(02:16):
and shoulder bag, the kind you see every afternoon in
the drug store near the high school making jive talk
over a soda. But you looked up as I walked in,
and the eyes didn't look like jive talk. A tall
there was trouble at them. You miss the spade? Yep?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
A detective? Well, according to some people, fine, I need
a detective.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You're sure, no positive? What would you be doing with
a detective?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You're adding the classified section said you find people, well.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Sometimes they're not too badly lost, Annie, What do you
want to find?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Did you ever hear of Denny Shane?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You don't really want to find Denny's Shane, do you?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
For most people want to lose him?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Then you do know him. I'm glad. Here's twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
No, wait a minute, hold it, honey, don't get anxious.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What's the matter. Don't you want to be paid for this?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Not if I don't do it? What do you mean?
Let's talk about you?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What's your name, Mary Johnson? Does it make any difference?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mary Johnson? Where do you live? Mary?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, I've never been in San Francisco before. I just
got in yesterday, staying with a friend out in the marina.
My home's in Denver, Denver, Colorado, two two eight fourteenth Street.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, here you are? You want to sign the contract?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh hooray? Where do I sign?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm the line here? U no, no, no, no? The
right name Sally Joan Michaels.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
How did you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Next time you use an AD sleeve identification bracelet home,
don't tell people you're fresh shot at Denver when your
coat label says it's fresh shot A ruse by the
San Francisco. Now let's try it again. Huh. What about
Denny Shane?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, I want to find him that's all.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, that's a lot why I'd rather not say. Well,
in that case, Sally, I recommend another detective. You'll find
there's an ad in the classifying section just below mine.
You mean you won't do it, Sally? If I may
get pont typical for just a moment. Denny Shane is
not the kind of character I would pick out for
a kid like you. He has a reputation for booking horses,
which is illegal, and welching his bets, which is worse.
(04:24):
He is associated at one time or another with almost
every one in the files of the Key Father Committee.
And as for the girls, he runs around. Oh oh
so that's it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No, that isn't it. I've never seen Denny Shane in
my life. If we do find him, you have to
point him out to me.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Really, he's he's.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Been good to me, you see, all my life he's
been good to me, and you've never seen him. No,
Danny Shane is my brother, mister Spade. My mother died
when I was born. I was adopted, but Denny went
to an orphanage, and I guess he's I kind of
ran wild after he got out.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, yeah, what do you mean? He's been good to you.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Sent me money on birthdays and Christmases sometimes in between.
He always said if I needed help, to tell him,
but I never knew where to find him. We need
help right now, mister Spade. My stepmother has to have
an operation, and I know Danny will give me the
money if I can find him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Why did you tell me all those black lies?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I was afraid you'd call my folks. They'd be horrified
if they've found out.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh this is the truth, now, girls scouts on her.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, mister Spade, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You run home and study your algebra and I'll look
up shaneing Court.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
No, no, I've got to talk to Danny myself.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You're sure you want to come along?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yes, okay, but I'm going to have to leave you
outside while I talked to his friends. Let's go. I
hadn't seen Shane since three years ago, when he conned
the client and a mine out of three thousand dollars
on a phony mining stock deal. I knew it was
waste motion, but I checked the hotel where he was
(06:06):
living then and found he was long gone. Came next
in the following order, One gambling joined in South City,
One saloon in the mission and one very dubious apartment
on Turk Street run by a charming wench wearing Wedgies,
Coulotts and peach brandy. She gave me a peachy smile.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Denny Shane, don't step on your lass.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You've seen him lately, honey?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
You asking about Denney. I saw him yesterday, first time
in two years, coming out of AUGI Dano's. Who's Augie
Dono runs the gym exercise studio reducing setup on Setterstreet.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You know, work a.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Little loose the middle, give it? Yeah, I got it,
but anyway, thanks, So we took off for Augie Dono's.
We've been together two and a half hours so far.
In exchange, maybe two and a half sentences. She just
(07:07):
said quietly in her corner of the cab, with her
hands folded on her lap, looking straight ahead, Sally, Hey, huh,
it's a matter, honey.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh now, come on, come on, you can tell your
uncle Sammy. Something's eating you? Now? What is it? I
told you you're sure it has nothing to do with
Denny and you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
We settled that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I don't know, did we? You know? I got an
ache in my bad knee?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Is that good?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Nope, I only get it when things are going sour
on me. Well, here's algae. Dono's come on, you can
go into this place. Looks respectable for a chake. A
gold lettering on the door, said Augustine Dono Messer Scientific Reducing.
(07:57):
And inside was an expensive looking reception room with birch paneling,
potted palms, and antique leather chairs, into one of which
I stored Sally while I made Bowld went to a
door at the rear marked private.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh no, look what you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Made me do?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I am sorry? Oh, dear me, you should be my
best persume. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to slam the door,
lady the draft this is a private officer.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There is a button outside clearly mock ring and wait
that I did not see.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And once again, I am so sorry about spilling the purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
O my too, sure, my regret TV twelve.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Dollars and ounds.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh, I regret TV too. Now look how about announcing
me to the professor.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But now, if you mean mister Dan, he's quite busy
with another naked.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The envelopes already. Oh you've got me. My name's Spade, Spade, Spade,
the detective. Yeah, detective.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Oh, have you bagine in my bag?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I thought you.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Replying that all right?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, right, neck, all right here four bits? Now buy
yourself another quart? Why I never this, I can believe.
What do you want, spabe? I'm looking for Denny Shane.
Someone saw him walk out of here yesterday, Shane. That's right. Well,
what's the matter of some trouble or something? No, no,
(09:24):
his kid's sister's trying to look him up. Oh that's funny.
What well that's someone I'm coming out of here. I
never heard of the guy. Of course, we got people
in here all the time, you know, salesman, haiden, friends
of clients, you know. But no, shame not that I know.
What's he looked like? Oh about my hYP blue eyes,
pale complexion, too thin to be coming here as a customer. Yeah,
(09:48):
wish I could help you, pal, But like I say,
so many people come in and out of here, you know.
Thanks anyway, bye, bye.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Any luck?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No, never hear to them, come on too bad? Where
to now? There are a couple of more places after you.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
CAB's gone, And.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I told him not to wait. I thought we might
have something to eat across the street.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Thanks, Look you better call your parents.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No, no, don't. I I told him I was spending
the night with a girlfriends. They wouldn't worry.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's another big black lie. I'm tired of playing this way.
I want it all. I told you, you're reading your
heart out over something and it's not Mama's operation. It's
something bigger and it hurts worse. And don't tell me
any different because it's written all over your face.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Please don't ask me anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Please, Ah, skip it. Where's a cab? Don't take me home?
That's just where you're going, honey. I'm well, what's the matter,
Look coming up the street. Yeah, Denny's shame you? Sure,
of course, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I've got to be positive.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I'll prove it to you. Denny, see yes, Denny kamimenter.
Oh Sam Spade, isn't it? Yeah? Yeah, well I recognize
the kid now, he's your little sister.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Sister.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What are you talking about? I am It all happened
in less than a second, so hard, so fast, so horrible.
It FROs me in my tracks. The shoulder bag flew open.
There was an automatic in her hand, and then Denny
Shane was dead on the pavement, and she was turning
toward me, her face a sick gray color, handing me
(11:39):
the gun handle first.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, it's done. Now you can take me to the police.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You are listening to the weekly adventure of radio's most
famous detective, Sam Spade. Three chimes mean good times on NBC.
(12:18):

(12:38):
novel This Side of Paradise, presented by theod Guild on
the air and starring Richard Witmark and Nina Posche. Now
back to the Denny Shane Caper. Tonight's adventure with Sam Spade.
(13:02):
I won't try to give you the play by play
for the hour of following the shots on Sutter Street,
because I was in no shape to remember things in sequence.
In less than a minute, we were in the center
of a million crowd cars jammed up, horns began to blow.
Then the Morgue wagon and a squad of homicide dicks
and flashbulbs going off like firecrackers, and Sally standing them
all off with a frozen gray expression on her face
(13:23):
that never changed while I stood at her elbow, me
Sam Spade, who'd seen Lord knows how many murders, with
rubber in my knees and a feeling in my stomach
like I was going to be sick. Finally, the squad
car picked us up and headed for Dundee's office.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Spae, Yeah, I've been waiting for you to ask me
why I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I thought i'd leave that for the professionals.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
He won't do any good to ask me, missus Spade, prison,
that will you. It'll save all of us a lot
of trouble. Everything I told.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You was a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I had to make you take to beat you in
some way. Dec I didn't know what he looked like.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I hope you know what kind of a stew you
jumped in the SELLI, because from here on it's going
to be pretty tough.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I don't care what they do to me. I've had
nothing to live for for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sounds stupid, doesn't it? Sixteen years old, nothing to live
for him, not to ask me any questions, tell them
guilty sentence me do whatever they do.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I'll never tell him.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Why why give me a cigarette?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Same?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah? Why did I have to grow up to be
a homicide dick? No dice with him? No dice. That's
your old man's gun. Hooked it out of his drawer
this morning before she left for school. I she still
think she's mixed up with Shane somewhere. Dundee believed me.
That's one thing I can guarantee. She didn't know Shane
(15:05):
from Hopolo on Cassidy. Well, I'm only falling back on
the standard answer to this kind of a clam bake. Sam,
This is not a standard clambake you're telling me?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Same? It kind of scares you. What the same Hill's
happening to our kids? A sixteen year old girl still
in high school walking up to someone on the street. Oh,
I'm sorry, it's got me too. She's resting on the
couch in there, stick around like it back. I gotta
go down and wait for her.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Oh excuse me, I saw the latent go out and
come on and sit down. I'm a friend of Sally's.
Do you think I could talk to her from minute?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well? I don't think she feels like talking.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Look I got to mister, I got to talk to her.
What's your name, Eddie Tucker. I go to school with Sally.
I've been waiting for three hours outside for a chance
to talk to her, can't I please?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What's it about?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
It's kind of personal?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Okay? Through the door there? Oh, thanks, and I'll leave
it open, yes, sir. The minute he went in, I
slid along the wall into a corner between the door jam.
I'm in a filecase, and through the doorway I could
see them both in the mirror on the far wall
of the inner office. Sally, what are you doing here?
(16:43):
I had to see you, Sally. I heard about it,
and I had to see you. That's all.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You're wasting your time, Adie.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's all over, and you know it. You shouldn't have
done it, Sally. You know what I promised you.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I know what you promised me all the other times too.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This was for keeps honest.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
So are the other times all right?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Look look at this, see out the window. Watch now,
now do you believe me, Eddie, it's not your fault anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I don't blame you, honest, follow us.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Promise I'll keep this one, Sally, honest, I will.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
No, you're a zombie, Eddy. You know what a zombie is.
Someone who moves and walks around, but who's dead inside. Goay, no.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Go.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
He got up slowly and walked past me out the door,
rosy cheeked seventeen with a tired old man look in
his eyes. A few minutes later, the matron came by
and I left her with Sally. The window in Dundee's
office opened onto a second floor roof below, and beneath
it I picked up what Eddie had tossed out a
set of car keys in a leather case. Was a
third one that looked like it belonged to a school locker,
(18:08):
with a number three three nine on it and written
in ink on the letter inside like a memo, was
Denny Shane seven seven eight Turk Street, Apartment four.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Ha kids, Well it's you get yeah, wow, Jack, aren't
you gonna wait for an invitation?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You've done me wrong this morning? Honey?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
About Denny?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, said you hadn't seen him in two years?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Ah, I told.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You about aid. Anyone told you about Denny Shane?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Ah, no, great loss tax for briscas.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Would you like a dream? Thank you? No? Oh? What about?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I had it coming to him sooner?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It never made it on his buck.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
In his life?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh did he have it coming to him?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Like? He got it?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Like they all get it? What was his recket? Numbers?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know how it works?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
You buy a number?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
How do you know? All this curiosity?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Intellectual curiosity? I don't know things all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I want to know things.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Follow So one day when Danny leaves his suit to
be cleaned, and I find a book in his pocket,
I asked the questions.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
One book his numbers? Book? Stupid? What's that? Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
You know, with the names the numbers of all his customers.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You wouldn't know where it is? Would you?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Perhaps?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Perhaps up?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh? Yes, yes, how does five bucks look? Bourbon is awful? High? Yeah,
you probably drink it straight? Ten better? Come on, I
think it's I.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Think it's in his top drawer.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Let me see now, high.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
There guy fellow.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Black books.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
See all the names, all the numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
All the names, all the numbers, and one other feature.
It was divided into sections. Label Galileo Balboa, Lowell, George Washington,
and a couple of more fellows who passed on long
before the numbers record was invented. Under each was a
list of names. Eddie Tucker's was on the page, headed
Thomas Jefferson. An effort was number three three nine, dashed
Seventh Street. At this point several bells rang. The odd
(20:33):
key in Eddie's case didn't belong to a Lucker. It
went with a bus and the main post office on
Seventh Street.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
And now, look, fellow, it's eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
A name spade, clerk. Look see the license.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I don't care about the license, the rules and regulations
of the United States postal.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Shine, I know, through rain and sleet and snow and hail.
But there's been a murder. You see murder? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Oh well, in that case, I suppose we great, great,
where's the mail for the boxes on the table over there,
But it isn't distributed. If you'll wait a shake, I'll
wait a shake.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It took more than a shake, but we got to
it just before midnight. A scented envelope. It was addressed
simply to Eddie Tucker, Box three three nine, And then
it was the answer to everything, the tired old man,
eyes on the kid, Eddie the zombie, and Sally who
figured her life was over at sixteen because Eddie was through.
But who had sent it to him? Was something else again?
Just a plain white envelope, the kind you get fro
(21:31):
a nicola pack in the dime store. I looked at
it a little closer, wondering what manner of stationer would
deem it fitting a sprinkle perfume on the kind of
envelope most people made a builds in. Finally, a possible
explanation took shape in my mind. You don't have to
hit Spade on the head with a baseball bat. Any
large sized mallet will do. Not just a minute, Spade,
(21:55):
I deserve an exploy get it, you'll get it, Aggie.
I'm in bed asleep. What do you get off busing
my bill this time of night? Patience? Patience? But look, yeah, good, good,
Well what are you taking your coat off for? Just relax, orgy?
Here's the coat tie and now the shoulder holster. Wait
(22:19):
a minute and out what is all that? Well, you
know the old sage, work a little lose the middle.
What I need is exercise. Great, all right, you come
around to the studio sometime smarting with you. Are you crazy? Yeah?
Get up, I want to try it with a right hand. Look, spade,
I got ground rules over at headquarters now again no
white lights, no rubber hoses, but they don't apply to
(22:41):
private dicks. Get up. If you're looking for trouble rights
even better. Okay, yup, you're going up, Come up against
the wall now, hey, Gomey space, let's talk talk yeah
about Denny Shane, about the kids he's smeared with his
filthy hands, high school kids from Balbo High and Lowell
(23:01):
and George Washington, good kids, straight kids. I don't know
nothing about it. You're outside, man. Wasn't it your roper
turning up in drug stores and give joints with those
dirty little packets of heroin? He passed out his headache powders.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
No, I don't know nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I only got a hooked hard. There was no more.
And then they got a mailbox number and a key.
Then they raised money anyway they could.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I have nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
My studio, your studios up front be Does the name
down there know what's in those envelopes emails every day?
Or does she think their statements, come on, talk down.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Oh yeah, okay, okay, I'll talk.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Which he did a full hour's worth in Dundee's office
and a harrowing tail. It was. I felt like punting
up a million copies and mailing it out to every
father and mother in the country. They taking him downstairs.
When I happened to glance out of Dundee's window and
down on the second floor roof, a point of life
was moving back and forth slowly from one end to
the other. Eddie, where are they? Where are those keys?
(24:27):
I've got to have him here. Oh thanks, my car.
I couldn't get home in my car. You see, I
know all about it.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Oh I I.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Can't do anything about myself, mister Spade, I'm helpless. What

corner chair when I got back from lunch, A kid
of sixteen or so, complete with Bobby socks, hair ribbons,
(02:16):
and shoulder bag, the kind you see every afternoon in
the drug store near the high school making jive talk
over a soda. But you looked up as I walked in,
and the eyes didn't look like jive talk. A tall
there was trouble at them. You miss the spade? Yep?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
A detective? Well, according to some people, fine, I need
a detective.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You're sure, no positive? What would you be doing with
a detective?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You're adding the classified section said you find people, well.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Sometimes they're not too badly lost, Annie, What do you
want to find?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Did you ever hear of Denny Shane?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You don't really want to find Denny's Shane, do you?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
For most people want to lose him?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Then you do know him. I'm glad. Here's twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
No, wait a minute, hold it, honey, don't get anxious.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What's the matter. Don't you want to be paid for this?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Not if I don't do it? What do you mean?
Let's talk about you?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What's your name, Mary Johnson? Does it make any difference?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mary Johnson? Where do you live? Mary?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, I've never been in San Francisco before. I just
got in yesterday, staying with a friend out in the marina.
My home's in Denver, Denver, Colorado, two two eight fourteenth Street.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, here you are? You want to sign the contract?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh hooray? Where do I sign?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm the line here? U no, no, no, no? The
right name Sally Joan Michaels.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
How did you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Next time you use an AD sleeve identification bracelet home,
don't tell people you're fresh shot at Denver when your
coat label says it's fresh shot A ruse by the
San Francisco. Now let's try it again. Huh. What about
Denny Shane?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, I want to find him that's all.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, that's a lot why I'd rather not say. Well,
in that case, Sally, I recommend another detective. You'll find
there's an ad in the classifying section just below mine.
You mean you won't do it, Sally? If I may
get pont typical for just a moment. Denny Shane is
not the kind of character I would pick out for
a kid like you. He has a reputation for booking horses,
which is illegal, and welching his bets, which is worse.
(04:24):
He is associated at one time or another with almost
every one in the files of the Key Father Committee.
And as for the girls, he runs around. Oh oh
so that's it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No, that isn't it. I've never seen Denny Shane in
my life. If we do find him, you have to
point him out to me.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Really, he's he's.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Been good to me, you see, all my life he's
been good to me, and you've never seen him. No,
Danny Shane is my brother, mister Spade. My mother died
when I was born. I was adopted, but Denny went
to an orphanage, and I guess he's I kind of
ran wild after he got out.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, yeah, what do you mean? He's been good to you.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Sent me money on birthdays and Christmases sometimes in between.
He always said if I needed help, to tell him,
but I never knew where to find him. We need
help right now, mister Spade. My stepmother has to have
an operation, and I know Danny will give me the
money if I can find him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Why did you tell me all those black lies?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I was afraid you'd call my folks. They'd be horrified
if they've found out.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh this is the truth, now, girls scouts on her.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, mister Spade, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You run home and study your algebra and I'll look
up shaneing Court.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
No, no, I've got to talk to Danny myself.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You're sure you want to come along?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yes, okay, but I'm going to have to leave you
outside while I talked to his friends. Let's go. I
hadn't seen Shane since three years ago, when he conned
the client and a mine out of three thousand dollars
on a phony mining stock deal. I knew it was
waste motion, but I checked the hotel where he was
(06:06):
living then and found he was long gone. Came next
in the following order, One gambling joined in South City,
One saloon in the mission and one very dubious apartment
on Turk Street run by a charming wench wearing Wedgies,
Coulotts and peach brandy. She gave me a peachy smile.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Denny Shane, don't step on your lass.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You've seen him lately, honey?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
You asking about Denney. I saw him yesterday, first time
in two years, coming out of AUGI Dano's. Who's Augie
Dono runs the gym exercise studio reducing setup on Setterstreet.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You know, work a.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Little loose the middle, give it? Yeah, I got it,
but anyway, thanks, So we took off for Augie Dono's.
We've been together two and a half hours so far.
In exchange, maybe two and a half sentences. She just
(07:07):
said quietly in her corner of the cab, with her
hands folded on her lap, looking straight ahead, Sally, Hey, huh,
it's a matter, honey.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh now, come on, come on, you can tell your
uncle Sammy. Something's eating you? Now? What is it? I
told you you're sure it has nothing to do with
Denny and you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
We settled that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I don't know, did we? You know? I got an
ache in my bad knee?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Is that good?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Nope, I only get it when things are going sour
on me. Well, here's algae. Dono's come on, you can
go into this place. Looks respectable for a chake. A
gold lettering on the door, said Augustine Dono Messer Scientific Reducing.
(07:57):
And inside was an expensive looking reception room with birch paneling,
potted palms, and antique leather chairs, into one of which
I stored Sally while I made Bowld went to a
door at the rear marked private.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh no, look what you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Made me do?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I am sorry? Oh, dear me, you should be my
best persume. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to slam the door,
lady the draft this is a private officer.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There is a button outside clearly mock ring and wait
that I did not see.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And once again, I am so sorry about spilling the purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
O my too, sure, my regret TV twelve.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Dollars and ounds.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh, I regret TV too. Now look how about announcing
me to the professor.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But now, if you mean mister Dan, he's quite busy
with another naked.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The envelopes already. Oh you've got me. My name's Spade, Spade, Spade,
the detective. Yeah, detective.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Oh, have you bagine in my bag?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I thought you.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Replying that all right?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, right, neck, all right here four bits? Now buy
yourself another quart? Why I never this, I can believe.
What do you want, spabe? I'm looking for Denny Shane.
Someone saw him walk out of here yesterday, Shane. That's right. Well,
what's the matter of some trouble or something? No, no,
(09:24):
his kid's sister's trying to look him up. Oh that's funny.
What well that's someone I'm coming out of here. I
never heard of the guy. Of course, we got people
in here all the time, you know, salesman, haiden, friends
of clients, you know. But no, shame not that I know.
What's he looked like? Oh about my hYP blue eyes,
pale complexion, too thin to be coming here as a customer. Yeah,
(09:48):
wish I could help you, pal, But like I say,
so many people come in and out of here, you know.
Thanks anyway, bye, bye.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Any luck?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No, never hear to them, come on too bad? Where
to now? There are a couple of more places after you.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
CAB's gone, And.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I told him not to wait. I thought we might
have something to eat across the street.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Thanks, Look you better call your parents.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No, no, don't. I I told him I was spending
the night with a girlfriends. They wouldn't worry.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's another big black lie. I'm tired of playing this way.
I want it all. I told you, you're reading your
heart out over something and it's not Mama's operation. It's
something bigger and it hurts worse. And don't tell me
any different because it's written all over your face.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Please don't ask me anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Please, Ah, skip it. Where's a cab? Don't take me home?
That's just where you're going, honey. I'm well, what's the matter,
Look coming up the street. Yeah, Denny's shame you? Sure,
of course, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I've got to be positive.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I'll prove it to you. Denny, see yes, Denny kamimenter.
Oh Sam Spade, isn't it? Yeah? Yeah, well I recognize
the kid now, he's your little sister.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Sister.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What are you talking about? I am It all happened
in less than a second, so hard, so fast, so horrible.
It FROs me in my tracks. The shoulder bag flew open.
There was an automatic in her hand, and then Denny
Shane was dead on the pavement, and she was turning
toward me, her face a sick gray color, handing me
(11:39):
the gun handle first.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, it's done. Now you can take me to the police.
Speaker 1 (11:54):

back to the Denny Shane Caper. Tonight's adventure with Sam Spade.
(13:02):
I won't try to give you the play by play
for the hour of following the shots on Sutter Street,
because I was in no shape to remember things in sequence.
In less than a minute, we were in the center
of a million crowd cars jammed up, horns began to blow.
Then the Morgue wagon and a squad of homicide dicks
and flashbulbs going off like firecrackers, and Sally standing them
all off with a frozen gray expression on her face
(13:23):
that never changed while I stood at her elbow, me
Sam Spade, who'd seen Lord knows how many murders, with
rubber in my knees and a feeling in my stomach
like I was going to be sick. Finally, the squad
car picked us up and headed for Dundee's office.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Spae, Yeah, I've been waiting for you to ask me
why I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I thought i'd leave that for the professionals.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
He won't do any good to ask me, missus Spade, prison,
that will you. It'll save all of us a lot
of trouble. Everything I told.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You was a lie.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I had to make you take to beat you in
some way. Dec I didn't know what he looked like.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I hope you know what kind of a stew you
jumped in the SELLI, because from here on it's going
to be pretty tough.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I don't care what they do to me. I've had
nothing to live for for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sounds stupid, doesn't it? Sixteen years old, nothing to live
for him, not to ask me any questions, tell them
guilty sentence me do whatever they do.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I'll never tell him.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Why why give me a cigarette?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Same?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah? Why did I have to grow up to be
a homicide dick? No dice with him? No dice. That's
your old man's gun. Hooked it out of his drawer
this morning before she left for school. I she still
think she's mixed up with Shane somewhere. Dundee believed me.
That's one thing I can guarantee. She didn't know Shane
(15:05):
from Hopolo on Cassidy. Well, I'm only falling back on
the standard answer to this kind of a clam bake. Sam,
This is not a standard clambake you're telling me?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Same? It kind of scares you. What the same Hill's
happening to our kids? A sixteen year old girl still
in high school walking up to someone on the street. Oh,
I'm sorry, it's got me too. She's resting on the
couch in there, stick around like it back. I gotta
go down and wait for her.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Oh excuse me, I saw the latent go out and
come on and sit down. I'm a friend of Sally's.
Do you think I could talk to her from minute?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well? I don't think she feels like talking.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Look I got to mister, I got to talk to her.
What's your name, Eddie Tucker. I go to school with Sally.
I've been waiting for three hours outside for a chance
to talk to her, can't I please?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What's it about?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
It's kind of personal?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Okay? Through the door there? Oh, thanks, and I'll leave
it open, yes, sir. The minute he went in, I
slid along the wall into a corner between the door jam.
I'm in a filecase, and through the doorway I could
see them both in the mirror on the far wall
of the inner office. Sally, what are you doing here?
(16:43):
I had to see you, Sally. I heard about it,
and I had to see you. That's all.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You're wasting your time, Adie.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's all over, and you know it. You shouldn't have
done it, Sally. You know what I promised you.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I know what you promised me all the other times too.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This was for keeps honest.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
So are the other times all right?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Look look at this, see out the window. Watch now,
now do you believe me, Eddie, it's not your fault anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I don't blame you, honest, follow us.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Promise I'll keep this one, Sally, honest, I will.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
No, you're a zombie, Eddy. You know what a zombie is.
Someone who moves and walks around, but who's dead inside. Goay, no.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Go.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
He got up slowly and walked past me out the door,
rosy cheeked seventeen with a tired old man look in
his eyes. A few minutes later, the matron came by
and I left her with Sally. The window in Dundee's
office opened onto a second floor roof below, and beneath
it I picked up what Eddie had tossed out a
set of car keys in a leather case. Was a
third one that looked like it belonged to a school locker,
(18:08):
with a number three three nine on it and written
in ink on the letter inside like a memo, was
Denny Shane seven seven eight Turk Street, Apartment four.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Ha kids, Well it's you get yeah, wow, Jack, aren't
you gonna wait for an invitation?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You've done me wrong this morning? Honey?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
About Denny?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, said you hadn't seen him in two years?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Ah, I told.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You about aid. Anyone told you about Denny Shane?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Ah, no, great loss tax for briscas.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Would you like a dream? Thank you? No? Oh? What about?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I had it coming to him sooner?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It never made it on his buck.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
In his life?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh did he have it coming to him?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Like? He got it?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Like they all get it? What was his recket? Numbers?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know how it works?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
You buy a number?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
How do you know? All this curiosity?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Intellectual curiosity? I don't know things all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I want to know things.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Follow So one day when Danny leaves his suit to
be cleaned, and I find a book in his pocket,
I asked the questions.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
One book his numbers? Book? Stupid? What's that? Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
You know, with the names the numbers of all his customers.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You wouldn't know where it is? Would you?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Perhaps?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Perhaps up?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh? Yes, yes, how does five bucks look? Bourbon is awful? High? Yeah,
you probably drink it straight? Ten better? Come on, I
think it's I.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Think it's in his top drawer.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Let me see now, high.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
There guy fellow.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Black books.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
See all the names, all the numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
All the names, all the numbers, and one other feature.
It was divided into sections. Label Galileo Balboa, Lowell, George Washington,
and a couple of more fellows who passed on long
before the numbers record was invented. Under each was a
list of names. Eddie Tucker's was on the page, headed
Thomas Jefferson. An effort was number three three nine, dashed
Seventh Street. At this point several bells rang. The odd
(20:33):
key in Eddie's case didn't belong to a Lucker. It
went with a bus and the main post office on
Seventh Street.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
And now, look, fellow, it's eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
A name spade, clerk. Look see the license.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I don't care about the license, the rules and regulations
of the United States postal.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Shine, I know, through rain and sleet and snow and hail.
But there's been a murder. You see murder? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Oh well, in that case, I suppose we great, great,
where's the mail for the boxes on the table over there,
But it isn't distributed. If you'll wait a shake, I'll
wait a shake.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It took more than a shake, but we got to
it just before midnight. A scented envelope. It was addressed
