Me sweetheart, and all is forgiven Like I told you?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
How can you forgive me? Sam? I almost killed you?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Why kick yourself f you would have done the private
detective profession a great favor. Let's don't say that, Yral
moving from its rolls. The only operative in San Francisco,
stupid enough to shake an apple tree for an entire evening,
trying to pick up an apron full of bananas.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But they all can't come up right in the end.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But you haven't heard the PostScript, Angel PostScript indeed, batton
down the hatches and worn all within earshot that they're
about to catch stupid Sam. The incomparable in a new act.
We're during the next twenty nine minutes and thirty seconds,
I shall down the mettle of don Quixote, shoulder my
battered glance, and tilt that windmills and an object lessened
to the gullible entitled the Spanish Prisoner Caper transcribe Forrin DC.

nine six, down, fie own subject. The Spanish prisoner caper.
(02:03):
There there, Marjorie. When they made you, darling, they threw
them all away in this day of the emancipated, self sufficient,
one hundred percent confident female. It came as a fresh
breeze and a boost of my masculine ego to run
across a lady, white haired and fragile with all who
needed protection. After meeting you, I knew what the fellow
had in mind when he wrote Heaven will protect the
(02:25):
working girl. As a matter of fact, you could have
been the very girl, since you and the song were
about the same vintage.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Do please said down, missus, babe, and they pick you
some teeth, No thanks. I planned to come to your office,
but I decided I just couldn't risk going out at
this time.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh why is that really might come?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You see?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And I'd never forgive myself if I was out.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Who's this signor time?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
There?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Who?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
He's not going a week overdo now? And I'm on
pins and needles. I gave him a desk here at
the Brockhaven. But there's the Brocklebank and the Brockhurst and
the Ston and the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It would be so easy for.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Him to become confused, being a stranger in town.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Call i'mb a native. I'm confused myself.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, I thought perhaps you could locate in He should
be back from Mexico by now with JN. Louise Steer me.
So many things could happen to them walking the streets with.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
All that money. What money, the gold and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The precious gems?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
How about starting all over again?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Why haven't I made myself clear, mister Spain?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well, I have the end fairly straight, yes, But if
you'll give me the beginning, we'll have everything.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh oh well, well, I suppose the beginning was three
weeks ago, where in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
for Women, I see, I was staying there temporarily while
I was waiting for this apartment. You see, So the
day I got word I could move here, I tacked
up and had them take my things out to the taxi.
Then I went to the desk and got my money
(03:56):
from the board. Oh how much eighty done?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, yes, and bills.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
My annuity money had just come to me. Well, well,
I just put the bills in. My person was starting
out the door when it happened.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
This voice came over my shoulder, a soft Latin voice saying, Senorita,
I'll come to you on a matter of terrible urgency.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And loan Behold. It was Signor Palmer. How did you
know I have a feeling for those things? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Well, his uncle do NUIs Alvaro was in terrible trouble,
he said, in prison in Mexico City on some sort
of trumped up political chob ah.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And the family, though noble, was financially impoverished. Yes, except
except for a casket containing the family jewels and an
assortment of priceless heirlooms, all hundreds of years old handwrot
of the finest virgin goal.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Mister Steed, how is it sad.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Caskets and its precious horde being hidden away in a
secret place known only to Don Luis. All he needs
is a paltry eight hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It was a I went to the bank.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Up paltry thousand dollars to buy up a jail official,
and presto, Don Louis goes free on earth the casket
and rewards you with an ample share of the family treasure.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Mister Speed, you've talked to Senor PALMERA Nope, how badly
do you need the dough?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
H need it? Why?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Good heavens, mister Spade, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
All I haven't till next June.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
There's a small pensions on the school board in Kiakok.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But dear me, I don't know just how mister Stade
do you mean he he isn't coming back with my money.
(05:47):
The truth of the matter, Marjorie, was that you'd fallen
for the Spanish prisoner's swindle, a holy old chestnut that
goes back to the day of P. T. Barnum and
before what you look like. If I gave you an
honest answer, you dissolve into tears. As I said, I
was in one of my heaven and Spade will protect
the working girl mood. So I made up a dishonest one.
I'll try and look him up. Maybe it's all a
(06:09):
terrible misunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh good, that's Nick too, and slip too, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Dorothy Eppie? Which is Missperen Sam stage Exactuve agency. This
is mister Spade charming one.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh Sam, I'm sorry. Yes, Dorothy's here and I'm trying
to learn an argyle song.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Fine, drop all stitches and look in the file for me,
will you. I remember getting a circuit or a while
back on a con man who was running the Spanish
prisoner around here?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
What would be under Sam Spanish prisoner con games?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Absolletely get out the file.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's Sam Dothy Gootes. Look at the file confidence games.
Oh yes, you told n and.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Slipped too, I'm sure sad, Yeah, I found it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
His name is Pedro Rodriguez Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There's no address, but.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It says he habitually associates with somebody named Lolita Montoya sounds.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Spanish slightly slightly any address for her.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Six fifteen Mason Street.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fine, Fine, that's all there is this.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh golly, I'm so mixed up with these gun argyles.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What's so tough about that?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You want to try it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
What role were you on twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Knit tree and slip one, She.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Says, I she's wrong, wrong, wrong, knit two, slip one,
nit one past one and nip one. You got it?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Damn how bractle?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Nothing? Nothing at all. I've been going out with a
gray lady. Six fifteen Mason Street was a very large
apartment building with the usual brass plate in the entry
listing the inhabitants, among which I was happy to note
was Welllita Montoya, Apartment four O eight. I pick up
(08:03):
the house phone and pressed the button. Yeah, telegram for
Lolita Montoya. Lolita isn't here, Lolida, my Loreida?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Who is calling?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Just the telegram? Pub stick it in.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The box, eh money order. Somebody has to sign for it,
but it may be important.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I will stick care of and understands you. Yes, yes,
are you in the state, Sonny, Yeah, climb back into
that cap. I saw you get out of hustle over
the Western Junion and tell the president Lolita's on a vacation.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Get it score for you now? Hello? Hello, Well, nothing datted.
I punched a few bells until one of the less
suspicious tenants gave me the front door bus walked in
and took the automatic elevator to the fourth floor, or
(08:51):
I should say tore the fourth floor, since halfway between
the third and fourth she quit cool the elevator, that is,
but there were devices for such things. I pushed the
button on emergency, and it took me only fifty minutes
to get out, assisted by the janitor, the manager, and
twelve tenants. The doors on the four floor it seemed,
have been carelessly pried open and held that way by
a magazine carelessly stuck in the crack. Continuing my stealthy
(09:14):
approach to four oh eight, I found my man in
his palad somehow since I was coming, and run off
without stopping to close the door. The apartment was filled
with cigarette smoke and not much else, A bad and
empty dresser and a table on which were one top
half full of foul black coffee, a little pointed gadget
that looked like a nuttick, and a handful of metal shavings.
I was contemplating, what connection, if any this hand with
(09:37):
your missing thousand bucks, when yeah, this is divers boll.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I just wanted to inquire how everything is coming A
look if.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It'll see grain?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
How much right?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And there's a thousand is a good bore. What do
you think a very joe to shave this joyous moves
like you said, Pedro, how Spanish prisoner is a valuable man? Huh.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
I must hustle over to the lighthouse and inform the
leader lighthouse.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
She has been very conscientious in.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The rule pay oh see grain.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's not every girl who would sell out her grandfather
so readily, Padriv. No, we must not take low leader
for granted.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I will give it a new rumble and we'll see
you to night at simple ex right.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
See right, I revorve Pedro, I rewar what I reward
lay Sneidie. The only lighthouse Higner was a gin mill
firch midway down the Embaccadero, south of Market, surrounded by
shoals strewn with human wrecks of all descriptions, a place
(10:47):
you might find shell game man and kane grifters, but
hardly a habitat for a con man's moving up to work.
The Spanish prisoner, a lighthouse keeper who looked like he'd
retired from the sea after a losing battle with Moby Dick,
has been over a pinball machine next to the door
as far as I can see about the one light
in the joint, it was empty.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Get up, Get up up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Too bad, lighthouse keeper. Yeah, what do you have? Well?
Beer when you're ready? Do you know Pedro Rodriguez.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Worked for me?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What a couple of years ago? I cann them. Yeah
he's a swab only honist nickel he ever made was
what he was here? All right? Thanks? Yeah, crooked swab
is Pedro Rodriguez. He's up to something right now if
(11:41):
you ask me Spanish prisoner, Uh you mixed up with
it too? Huh No, fine, I just want to be
how does it go?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I don't know about your body, only it seems to smell. See.
Pedro was sitting at the body the other night with
another Swab talking about old Spanish jet was going back
to a billion dollars just come over from Spade. Nice shirt, eh,
(12:08):
body English, pure and simple? So what about the spanishin Well,
I didn't hear no more about that. I tell you
what you would do. You ask Lalita about it, and
he tink Pedro's bix sed up and she generally knows
about good. Where do I find Lolita? Let's see I
show whether it's the third of the fourth third or
fourth one the booth from the back. There she was
sitting there all night writing letters. You better be careful,
(12:29):
though she got her awful temper, a Banks linehouse keeper.
How about the beer? Sure, hey, Larry draw one? So
Larry drew one, and I took it down to the
bar to a point opposite booth number four, which indeed
contained lo Lisa Plange, a little thing wearing a turtle
(12:50):
next sweater Mark Steelman's gym. The table was covered with
writing paper, and her alabaster browse a mass of unsightly
wrinkled as she chewed the end of her puffling pair.
Gonna settle down, I'm gonna punt door open, and what
appeared to be the reincarnation of dark Gunsho with a
gorilla only with cloths steam down the island, slid in
next to Lolita, who was not alarmed at all. The
(13:12):
leader they bear tidy. Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I am making progress. Grandfather, dear, you cannot know how
dire is the peril into which I have been thrust.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, Fir supril each for super at.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Least well maybe maybe a grandfather beloved. As I take
up my pen in hand, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Overcome with fears.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Things look very black.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Indeed, I have fallen into the clutches of us Doveton.
What are you grinnin?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I have just conversed with Padrew in the desert.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
We are in really give me no more letters?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Padre is he xulted? He says it. Hmmm, are we
in fearing with your trainer through? It was? No, no, no, no,
go right ahead. I'll just sit here and drank my beer.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Wait a minute, now, look, George, there is plenty of
bar down near the front door.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's just a schmook.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not so sure.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
He's got an honest look about him.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I do not like what is on your mind, George.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Pedro gat eh, yeah, he's getting careless short changed a
friend of mine a thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I just dig This man is so sizy, and you
are anxious to put the bite on Pedro.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
For a grand right. Huh? That is up unless Pedro
wants to take a five.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Year wraps up to him, five year wrap for what stupidity?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They ought to know better than to try to get
by with a Spanish prisoner. Honey, Spanish prison knows well.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I tell you to shake down.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Relax, violence to get you nowhere, not the gun. You
better let me have it, baby loamp. I got hold
(15:18):
of the gun with one hand while a lolita chewed
on my other one. Meanwhile, I'm putting my head under
his arm like I'm nuttracker, and taking me in the
stomach with his knee. This went on for some time.
Then I became vaguely aware of Styvy's fist as big
as a ham coming up on the floor. He may
put me on the side of the head, and I
skied down the marble floor half a law booth like
a ball on a bowling alley, scoring an penstrike on
the pinball machine, which leaned drunkenly over me, stuck out
(15:41):
its coin drawer and flashed a red light in my face,
reading foul ball. Try again, stupid me, I did. You
are listening to the weekly adventure of radio's most famous detective,
Sam Spade. Three chimes mean good Times on NBC. There's

Up?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh deb took off blastom. I had some eighty thousand
points run up, but they had to go throw you
at the machine cause it tilt and liey. I sat
until the buzzing in my ears quieted down, and trying
to hark back to the phone conversation society in the apartment.
(18:01):
It came eventually and I pried mine host the lighthouse keeper,
away from the pinball machine and set him down next
to me with the yellow and standard sections of the
telephone book. Simplex bar supply no easy to garden furniture note,
how about Simplex Pretty Company five? What I had said
street Simplex Office found Sipplex service Station twelve. Well, how
(18:25):
do you know, bake? There's forty two Simplexes in his book.
A load find one that sounds like the front for
a con operation on bier Seeplex cleaners, No fun. Simplex Associates, nopet,
the suspicious Simplex Associates, Business opportunities, investments, gold, oil, mining, securities,
(18:48):
box cards, loaded dice, and Las Vegas real estate. Doesn't
that just sounds like it might be a possibility though,
homicide Dundee sam Don they do me a favor, Will
your pound run across the hall and check the bunko files.
(19:09):
There's an outfit called Simplex Associates and it turned out
as a calm game. Grifter took my client for a
thousand bucks. I'm a Spanish prisoner. Spanish prisoner, what's that
got to do with me? Call bunker yourself. They're closed
down at this time and I done thee they are,
sweet heart, little.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Sweetheart, I'm a homicide lieutenant, and I don't run a
service agency.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Were private detectives.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Unless there's a corpse in it, you can take your
business elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Done they look?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Hold it?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Will you?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
I can't hold it?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Where is I got down on the floor, couch in
the back. No, no, no, don't easy, there, said I
know she's here. They must free her. Humus cold, be
Poorlsia free here? Why why was Pedro holding her to
make me do this, this terrible thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And I have done it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
But you must stop him. Now he will look to
go now, then you must stop him. Millions millions of
faces in my honor. You must, you must clar seemed bigs,
he said, a bad way baked, not anymore. He was
(20:27):
an aristocrat, thin face, silver hair, and the look of
a bourbon. It stopped me, Marjorie, because here it was
just like you're a senor. PALMERA told you a nobleman
in a ragged clothes and dangling from one of his ankles,
the broken chain of a leg iron. In short, the
complete Spanish prisoner. It's legitimate. Now you've got your corpse.
(20:53):
There was nothing on him to indicate who he was
or where he came from but I had a feeling
i'd seen him before. After making the lighthouse keeper promised
me he'd lay off a pinball game until Dundee rhyme
and I took off from my office on a very
practical errand buckling on my forty five. Sweetheart, if I
had a light tank and a bazooka, I'd take them too, Oh, Sam,
(21:14):
your sake, I know, I know, sweethearts about the sandy fruit. Well,
there's a real Spanish prisoner in this one. After he's
dead now, by the way, and from the cheap grift
of a thousand bucks from a poor retired school teacher,
we're now up in a million dollar bracket. They got
a murderous ex correine playing like she's been kidnapped and
writing extortion notes to her grandpa, and a muggle looks
like a monkey's nightmare, and nut picks and metal shavings
(21:36):
and someplace or somebody named Simplex, not to mention.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Stop she's told my fault.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I was still missed up with the Argylls. What of
the ur Gyles got to do it? When you called
about the file the secular on the convenance man, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Was looking under calm under the seas, I got out
the one.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Next to it by mistake. No, yes, the one my.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Only then did I remember where I had seen the
old man before. The paper was still on my desk
and his picture was still on the front page over
an article that ran something like this, search on for
ex Spanish Treasury official police. Today we're still without definite
leads in the search for Raymon Montoya, former chief engraver
of the Spanish Myth. Montoya, who arrived in San Francisco
three weeks ago to visit his granddaughter, vanished from his
(22:25):
hotel room shortly after checking in. Eta called Lieutenant Dundee
at the Lighthouse on the Embarcadero. Also call the Treasury Department.
Tell him both Pedro Rodriguez and his two assistants are
even now busially running off currency from placing great by
Raymond Montoya at the Simplex Printing Company, five O nine
Sansum Street, Mexican pesos. It was by the Basketball and
(22:51):
the Treasury. Dix agreed it was a happy thing from
Mexico that Raymond had kept his engraver's tool on the
right side of the law off to now. And so
the matter of your Signor Marah and his Spanish prisoner.
I had excusably, I hope, lost my enthusiasm. And so
it was Marjorie that I walked into the Palace hotel
lobby a couple of hours later to call you. Yes, sir,
I'd like some Nichols. The phone plays, no, no, no, no,
(23:15):
they're phony Mexican bill.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Oh dear dear, Oh good heaven.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You shouldn't show money around like I was. Just stuck
them in my pockets forever and forgot to turn them
over the treasure.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And ah, here we are.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Here, yes, sir, and here you are, hey, Senor, he
drops some big one.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Ah huh, he's back from my pocket. Excuse me please,
and John, look go to hell my dream.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
It's the same spade I got the book, mister Spade,
did you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm sorry, Madream, I beg your pardon in just a minute. Marge, Look, buddy,
you can have the phone in a minute, now, you relax.
You mean money is gone. I'm afraid so, Marge. Is
an expensive lesson, but it's worth it if you remember, Honey,
from now on, never flash your money in public places.
And I'm almost through with you. Wait a minute, and
never trust strangers, Marge. The world is full of sharks
looking around for easy at middle aged ladies with bank rows.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
But he seems so honest, mister Space.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That's the trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
The way he came up to me and said, Senorita,
I come to you on a matter of terrible urgency.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I know, I know he saw your bank roll. You
want a matter of terrible origins. Figure you look like
an easy mark marche So, Senor, that's a minute my dream.
What did you say?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
I say, I come to you want a matter of
terrible urgency. My uncle Don Luisa rival he's in awful trouble.
Oh oh, this is going to be great rewards, Senor.
You'll help us, you know, we just might be able
to work something out.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, Minjorie. He had one three hundred and fifty eight
dollars from which I diducted Joe one thousand and closed
here with plus fifty eight dollars representing my standard retainer
period and the report.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
It must be awful to be gullible like that, dear
sweet little soul.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Yeah, imagine your falling for a transparent swindle like that.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You know, that's one thing I've learned from you, Sam.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I have my savings in a in a.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Real good solid thing. What's that an avocado mine? An
avocado mine? Where in?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
No, that's in Alaska?
Speaker 6 (25:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Well. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, go tight that up. Three chimes

Why kick yourself f you would have done the private
detective profession a great favor. Let's don't say that, Yral
moving from its rolls. The only operative in San Francisco,
stupid enough to shake an apple tree for an entire evening,
trying to pick up an apron full of bananas.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But they all can't come up right in the end.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But you haven't heard the PostScript, Angel PostScript indeed, batton

Yet we'll have no more of it here, not a word,
not a word, book pencil they fill it into Miss
Marjory Loveland, Brockhaven Apartments from Samuel Spade still license number one, three, seven, five,
nine six, down, fie own subject. The Spanish prisoner caper.
(02:03):
There there, Marjorie. When they made you, darling, they threw
them all away in this day of the emancipated, self sufficient,
one hundred percent confident female. It came as a fresh
breeze and a boost of my masculine ego to run
across a lady, white haired and fragile with all who
needed protection. After meeting you, I knew what the fellow
had in mind when he wrote Heaven will protect the
(02:25):
working girl. As a matter of fact, you could have
been the very girl, since you and the song were
about the same vintage.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Do please said down, missus, babe, and they pick you
some teeth, No thanks. I planned to come to your office,
but I decided I just couldn't risk going out at
this time.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh why is that really might come?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You see?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And I'd never forgive myself if I was out.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Who's this signor time?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
There?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Who?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
He's not going a week overdo now? And I'm on
pins and needles. I gave him a desk here at
the Brockhaven. But there's the Brocklebank and the Brockhurst and
the Ston and the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It would be so easy for.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Him to become confused, being a stranger in town.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Call i'mb a native. I'm confused myself.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, I thought perhaps you could locate in He should
be back from Mexico by now with JN. Louise Steer me.
So many things could happen to them walking the streets with.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
All that money. What money, the gold and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The precious gems?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
How about starting all over again?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Why haven't I made myself clear, mister Spain?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well, I have the end fairly straight, yes, But if
you'll give me the beginning, we'll have everything.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh oh well, well, I suppose the beginning was three
weeks ago, where in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
for Women, I see, I was staying there temporarily while
I was waiting for this apartment. You see, So the
day I got word I could move here, I tacked
up and had them take my things out to the taxi.
Then I went to the desk and got my money
(03:56):
from the board. Oh how much eighty done?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, yes, and bills.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
My annuity money had just come to me. Well, well,
I just put the bills in. My person was starting
out the door when it happened.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
This voice came over my shoulder, a soft Latin voice saying, Senorita,
I'll come to you on a matter of terrible urgency.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And loan Behold. It was Signor Palmer. How did you
know I have a feeling for those things? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Well, his uncle do NUIs Alvaro was in terrible trouble,
he said, in prison in Mexico City on some sort
of trumped up political chob ah.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And the family, though noble, was financially impoverished. Yes, except
except for a casket containing the family jewels and an
assortment of priceless heirlooms, all hundreds of years old handwrot
of the finest virgin goal.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Mister Steed, how is it sad.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Caskets and its precious horde being hidden away in a
secret place known only to Don Luis. All he needs
is a paltry eight hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It was a I went to the bank.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Up paltry thousand dollars to buy up a jail official,
and presto, Don Louis goes free on earth the casket
and rewards you with an ample share of the family treasure.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Mister Speed, you've talked to Senor PALMERA Nope, how badly
do you need the dough?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
H need it? Why?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Good heavens, mister Spade, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
All I haven't till next June.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
There's a small pensions on the school board in Kiakok.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But dear me, I don't know just how mister Stade
do you mean he he isn't coming back with my money.
(05:47):
The truth of the matter, Marjorie, was that you'd fallen
for the Spanish prisoner's swindle, a holy old chestnut that
goes back to the day of P. T. Barnum and
before what you look like. If I gave you an
honest answer, you dissolve into tears. As I said, I
was in one of my heaven and Spade will protect
the working girl mood. So I made up a dishonest one.
I'll try and look him up. Maybe it's all a
(06:09):
terrible misunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh good, that's Nick too, and slip too, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Dorothy Eppie? Which is Missperen Sam stage Exactuve agency. This
is mister Spade charming one.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh Sam, I'm sorry. Yes, Dorothy's here and I'm trying
to learn an argyle song.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Fine, drop all stitches and look in the file for me,
will you. I remember getting a circuit or a while
back on a con man who was running the Spanish
prisoner around here?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
What would be under Sam Spanish prisoner con games?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Absolletely get out the file.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's Sam Dothy Gootes. Look at the file confidence games.
Oh yes, you told n and.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Slipped too, I'm sure sad, Yeah, I found it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
His name is Pedro Rodriguez Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There's no address, but.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It says he habitually associates with somebody named Lolita Montoya sounds.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Spanish slightly slightly any address for her.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Six fifteen Mason Street.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fine, Fine, that's all there is this.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh golly, I'm so mixed up with these gun argyles.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What's so tough about that?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You want to try it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
What role were you on twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Knit tree and slip one, She.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Says, I she's wrong, wrong, wrong, knit two, slip one,
nit one past one and nip one. You got it?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Damn how bractle?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Nothing? Nothing at all. I've been going out with a
gray lady. Six fifteen Mason Street was a very large
apartment building with the usual brass plate in the entry
listing the inhabitants, among which I was happy to note
was Welllita Montoya, Apartment four O eight. I pick up
(08:03):
the house phone and pressed the button. Yeah, telegram for
Lolita Montoya. Lolita isn't here, Lolida, my Loreida?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Who is calling?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Just the telegram? Pub stick it in.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The box, eh money order. Somebody has to sign for it,
but it may be important.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I will stick care of and understands you. Yes, yes,
are you in the state, Sonny, Yeah, climb back into
that cap. I saw you get out of hustle over
the Western Junion and tell the president Lolita's on a vacation.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Get it score for you now? Hello? Hello, Well, nothing datted.
I punched a few bells until one of the less
suspicious tenants gave me the front door bus walked in
and took the automatic elevator to the fourth floor, or
(08:51):
I should say tore the fourth floor, since halfway between
the third and fourth she quit cool the elevator, that is,
but there were devices for such things. I pushed the
button on emergency, and it took me only fifty minutes
to get out, assisted by the janitor, the manager, and
twelve tenants. The doors on the four floor it seemed,
have been carelessly pried open and held that way by
a magazine carelessly stuck in the crack. Continuing my stealthy
(09:14):
approach to four oh eight, I found my man in
his palad somehow since I was coming, and run off
without stopping to close the door. The apartment was filled
with cigarette smoke and not much else, A bad and
empty dresser and a table on which were one top
half full of foul black coffee, a little pointed gadget
that looked like a nuttick, and a handful of metal shavings.
I was contemplating, what connection, if any this hand with
(09:37):
your missing thousand bucks, when yeah, this is divers boll.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I just wanted to inquire how everything is coming A
look if.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It'll see grain?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
How much right?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And there's a thousand is a good bore. What do
you think a very joe to shave this joyous moves
like you said, Pedro, how Spanish prisoner is a valuable man? Huh.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
I must hustle over to the lighthouse and inform the
leader lighthouse.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
She has been very conscientious in.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The rule pay oh see grain.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's not every girl who would sell out her grandfather
so readily, Padriv. No, we must not take low leader
for granted.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I will give it a new rumble and we'll see
you to night at simple ex right.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
See right, I revorve Pedro, I rewar what I reward
lay Sneidie. The only lighthouse Higner was a gin mill
firch midway down the Embaccadero, south of Market, surrounded by
shoals strewn with human wrecks of all descriptions, a place
(10:47):
you might find shell game man and kane grifters, but
hardly a habitat for a con man's moving up to work.
The Spanish prisoner, a lighthouse keeper who looked like he'd
retired from the sea after a losing battle with Moby Dick,
has been over a pinball machine next to the door
as far as I can see about the one light
in the joint, it was empty.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Get up, Get up up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Too bad, lighthouse keeper. Yeah, what do you have? Well?
Beer when you're ready? Do you know Pedro Rodriguez.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Worked for me?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What a couple of years ago? I cann them. Yeah
he's a swab only honist nickel he ever made was
what he was here? All right? Thanks? Yeah, crooked swab
is Pedro Rodriguez. He's up to something right now if
(11:41):
you ask me Spanish prisoner, Uh you mixed up with
it too? Huh No, fine, I just want to be
how does it go?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I don't know about your body, only it seems to smell. See.
Pedro was sitting at the body the other night with
another Swab talking about old Spanish jet was going back
to a billion dollars just come over from Spade. Nice shirt, eh,
(12:08):
body English, pure and simple? So what about the spanishin Well,
I didn't hear no more about that. I tell you
what you would do. You ask Lalita about it, and
he tink Pedro's bix sed up and she generally knows
about good. Where do I find Lolita? Let's see I
show whether it's the third of the fourth third or
fourth one the booth from the back. There she was
sitting there all night writing letters. You better be careful,
(12:29):
though she got her awful temper, a Banks linehouse keeper.
How about the beer? Sure, hey, Larry draw one? So
Larry drew one, and I took it down to the
bar to a point opposite booth number four, which indeed
contained lo Lisa Plange, a little thing wearing a turtle
(12:50):
next sweater Mark Steelman's gym. The table was covered with
writing paper, and her alabaster browse a mass of unsightly
wrinkled as she chewed the end of her puffling pair.
Gonna settle down, I'm gonna punt door open, and what
appeared to be the reincarnation of dark Gunsho with a
gorilla only with cloths steam down the island, slid in
next to Lolita, who was not alarmed at all. The
(13:12):
leader they bear tidy. Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I am making progress. Grandfather, dear, you cannot know how
dire is the peril into which I have been thrust.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, Fir supril each for super at.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Least well maybe maybe a grandfather beloved. As I take
up my pen in hand, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Overcome with fears.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Things look very black.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Indeed, I have fallen into the clutches of us Doveton.
What are you grinnin?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I have just conversed with Padrew in the desert.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
We are in really give me no more letters?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Padre is he xulted? He says it. Hmmm, are we
in fearing with your trainer through? It was? No, no, no, no,
go right ahead. I'll just sit here and drank my beer.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Wait a minute, now, look, George, there is plenty of
bar down near the front door.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's just a schmook.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not so sure.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
He's got an honest look about him.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I do not like what is on your mind, George.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Pedro gat eh, yeah, he's getting careless short changed a
friend of mine a thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I just dig This man is so sizy, and you
are anxious to put the bite on Pedro.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
For a grand right. Huh? That is up unless Pedro
wants to take a five.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Year wraps up to him, five year wrap for what stupidity?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They ought to know better than to try to get
by with a Spanish prisoner. Honey, Spanish prison knows well.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I tell you to shake down.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Relax, violence to get you nowhere, not the gun. You
better let me have it, baby loamp. I got hold
(15:18):
of the gun with one hand while a lolita chewed
on my other one. Meanwhile, I'm putting my head under
his arm like I'm nuttracker, and taking me in the
stomach with his knee. This went on for some time.
Then I became vaguely aware of Styvy's fist as big
as a ham coming up on the floor. He may
put me on the side of the head, and I
skied down the marble floor half a law booth like
a ball on a bowling alley, scoring an penstrike on
the pinball machine, which leaned drunkenly over me, stuck out
(15:41):
its coin drawer and flashed a red light in my face,
reading foul ball. Try again, stupid me, I did. You
are listening to the weekly adventure of radio's most famous detective,
Sam Spade. Three chimes mean good Times on NBC. There's

Up?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh deb took off blastom. I had some eighty thousand
points run up, but they had to go throw you
at the machine cause it tilt and liey. I sat
until the buzzing in my ears quieted down, and trying
to hark back to the phone conversation society in the apartment.
(18:01):
It came eventually and I pried mine host the lighthouse keeper,
away from the pinball machine and set him down next
to me with the yellow and standard sections of the
telephone book. Simplex bar supply no easy to garden furniture note,
how about Simplex Pretty Company five? What I had said
street Simplex Office found Sipplex service Station twelve. Well, how
(18:25):
do you know, bake? There's forty two Simplexes in his book.
A load find one that sounds like the front for
a con operation on bier Seeplex cleaners, No fun. Simplex Associates, nopet,
the suspicious Simplex Associates, Business opportunities, investments, gold, oil, mining, securities,
(18:48):
box cards, loaded dice, and Las Vegas real estate. Doesn't
that just sounds like it might be a possibility though,
homicide Dundee sam Don they do me a favor, Will
your pound run across the hall and check the bunko files.
(19:09):
There's an outfit called Simplex Associates and it turned out
as a calm game. Grifter took my client for a
thousand bucks. I'm a Spanish prisoner. Spanish prisoner, what's that
got to do with me? Call bunker yourself. They're closed
down at this time and I done thee they are,
sweet heart, little.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Sweetheart, I'm a homicide lieutenant, and I don't run a
service agency.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Were private detectives.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Unless there's a corpse in it, you can take your
business elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Done they look?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Hold it?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Will you?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
I can't hold it?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Where is I got down on the floor, couch in
the back. No, no, no, don't easy, there, said I
know she's here. They must free her. Humus cold, be
Poorlsia free here? Why why was Pedro holding her to
make me do this, this terrible thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And I have done it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
But you must stop him. Now he will look to
go now, then you must stop him. Millions millions of
faces in my honor. You must, you must clar seemed bigs,
he said, a bad way baked, not anymore. He was
(20:27):
an aristocrat, thin face, silver hair, and the look of
a bourbon. It stopped me, Marjorie, because here it was
just like you're a senor. PALMERA told you a nobleman
in a ragged clothes and dangling from one of his ankles,
the broken chain of a leg iron. In short, the
complete Spanish prisoner. It's legitimate. Now you've got your corpse.
(20:53):
There was nothing on him to indicate who he was
or where he came from but I had a feeling
i'd seen him before. After making the lighthouse keeper promised
me he'd lay off a pinball game until Dundee rhyme
and I took off from my office on a very
practical errand buckling on my forty five. Sweetheart, if I
had a light tank and a bazooka, I'd take them too, Oh, Sam,
(21:14):
your sake, I know, I know, sweethearts about the sandy fruit. Well,
there's a real Spanish prisoner in this one. After he's
dead now, by the way, and from the cheap grift
of a thousand bucks from a poor retired school teacher,
we're now up in a million dollar bracket. They got
a murderous ex correine playing like she's been kidnapped and
writing extortion notes to her grandpa, and a muggle looks
like a monkey's nightmare, and nut picks and metal shavings
(21:36):
and someplace or somebody named Simplex, not to mention.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Stop she's told my fault.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I was still missed up with the Argylls. What of
the ur Gyles got to do it? When you called
about the file the secular on the convenance man, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Was looking under calm under the seas, I got out
the one.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Next to it by mistake. No, yes, the one my.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Only then did I remember where I had seen the
old man before. The paper was still on my desk
and his picture was still on the front page over
an article that ran something like this, search on for
ex Spanish Treasury official police. Today we're still without definite
leads in the search for Raymon Montoya, former chief engraver
of the Spanish Myth. Montoya, who arrived in San Francisco
three weeks ago to visit his granddaughter, vanished from his
(22:25):
hotel room shortly after checking in. Eta called Lieutenant Dundee
at the Lighthouse on the Embarcadero. Also call the Treasury Department.
Tell him both Pedro Rodriguez and his two assistants are
even now busially running off currency from placing great by
Raymond Montoya at the Simplex Printing Company, five O nine
Sansum Street, Mexican pesos. It was by the Basketball and
(22:51):
the Treasury. Dix agreed it was a happy thing from
Mexico that Raymond had kept his engraver's tool on the
right side of the law off to now. And so
the matter of your Signor Marah and his Spanish prisoner.
I had excusably, I hope, lost my enthusiasm. And so
it was Marjorie that I walked into the Palace hotel
lobby a couple of hours later to call you. Yes, sir,
I'd like some Nichols. The phone plays, no, no, no, no,
(23:15):
they're phony Mexican bill.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Oh dear dear, Oh good heaven.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You shouldn't show money around like I was. Just stuck
them in my pockets forever and forgot to turn them
over the treasure.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And ah, here we are.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Here, yes, sir, and here you are, hey, Senor, he
drops some big one.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Ah huh, he's back from my pocket. Excuse me please,
and John, look go to hell my dream.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
It's the same spade I got the book, mister Spade,
did you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm sorry, Madream, I beg your pardon in just a minute. Marge, Look, buddy,
you can have the phone in a minute, now, you relax.
You mean money is gone. I'm afraid so, Marge. Is
an expensive lesson, but it's worth it if you remember, Honey,
from now on, never flash your money in public places.
And I'm almost through with you. Wait a minute, and
never trust strangers, Marge. The world is full of sharks
looking around for easy at middle aged ladies with bank rows.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
But he seems so honest, mister Space.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That's the trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
The way he came up to me and said, Senorita,
I come to you on a matter of terrible urgency.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I know, I know he saw your bank roll. You
want a matter of terrible origins. Figure you look like
