Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Hurly he Friends inviting you on behalf of
the Craft Foods Company to listen to the Adventures of
the Falcon, starring Lestaiman. You met the Falcon first in
his best selling novels, then you saw him in his
thrilling motion picture series. Now join him on the air
when the Falcon solves case of the Shopkeeper's gun.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's Sunday night in New York and in the Midtown
hotel room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
An ugly smile that has almost a sneer twist.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The thin lips of stocky Ed Taylor as he looks
with bored and sleepy eyes at the young man who
was pacing the floor in front of him.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Sit down, Conrad, give you feet of rest.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You haven't given me your answer yet. Do I get
my money back at don't? I?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Now think about it?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
What's the think?
Speaker 6 (00:55):
You gave me a rocket?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Either you make good on it or what do I
get my money?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Come here, Conry, what do you want?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Tell you something?
Speaker 7 (01:04):
What I could go?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
That's the idea? What are you trying to do?
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Just taking precaution?
Speaker 8 (01:09):
Yeah, here we are.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So you brought a gun with you.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I wasn't gonna use it much. I had had to
to protect myself.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Well, now that you don't have any protection, don't you
think it's a little dangerous to hang around here.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'll get a lawyer.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
If a lawyer could.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Do you any good, you wouldn't have come up here.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Throwing your weight around.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I hate to keep you because I know you must
have things to do. Shall I show you out or
throw you out?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
All right?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Teller, you win this ride, I win them all.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Pals, you might as well throw in the towel unless
you want to see what it feels like to get
counted out.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
We'll say about that goodbye.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Tell him you're an old meanie Taylor.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
That was no way to treat the fella, dum jerk.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He had a gun like you said he would. Yes,
I wonder if he'll try anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I doubt it, But as long as he doesn't know
we're working together, I can always find out.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let's see the gun here.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Could you hear all he said in the other room?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Forty five?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Conrad believes in doing things in a big way.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
He probably won't quit. You better have a talk with
him tomorrow. See if he's planning anything.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Or maybe it won't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I have thought of one way I can kill two
birds with one stone or one bullet.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
What you're not going to kill him?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, Taylor, I'm not going to kill him.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What kind of a gag is that?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
We wait a minute, Moody, don't point out.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You're the owner of the shop.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
What I said?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Are you the owner of this place?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, George Conrad, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
How's business?
Speaker 9 (03:06):
What I said?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
How's look? Turn off that record? Well here's a week
of talk?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Oh yeah, shoot shu, what were you saying?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I said? The record? Business must be pretty good? Why
for you to be able to blow ten grand Conrad?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Why sick?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Sergeant Corbett? Police Department?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Police? Well, what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
He found your name and Ed Taylor's books? Oh you've
got his books? Can you prove anything about? What about
his swindling? Oh you think he's a swindler? Of course,
isn't that why you picked him up? Not exactly?
Speaker 10 (03:36):
Then?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
What found the gun? Traced it? You bought it a
couple of days ago.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
What's that got to do?
Speaker 10 (03:42):
That?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Killed Taylor?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Killed?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's what I said?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh so that's it. But surely you don't.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Look if I had anything to do with the shooting,
I certainly wouldn't have left my own gun there. Why
did you leave your gun there?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Taylor took it away from me.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Why did you buy the gun?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I thought there might be trouble when I demanded my money.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So you admit demanding honey, You admit you expected trouble.
You admit you went up there with a gun. I
didn't kill him, Like I said, I suddenly wouldn't have
left the gun. There wasn't left there. It was hidding
in a trash barrel in an alley. Thereby, if the
barrel hadn't been accidentally knocked over, the gun probably never
would have been discovered.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, then all I can say is get out of
my way.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Hey, I right stop?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well hello, George, you got the door quick, I said,
shut it?
Speaker 10 (04:37):
What's the matter?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Why do I lock it?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Marie? The police arrested me?
Speaker 10 (04:42):
The police? Why what did you do?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Nobody killed Taylor?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh no, I think it was me. I admitted I
had a row with him. But you didn't kill him,
of course not. But how am I going to prove
it if you didn't do it?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
When I was there. The bullet was from my gun.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
It was, but how could he?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Taylor got it away from me. I don't know what
happened after that.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
I did you not to get a gun?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
All right? You will?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Right, let's not go into that.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Now. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well?
Speaker 10 (05:05):
First, you better give yourself up.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I can't. They got too much on me.
Speaker 10 (05:07):
But running away will only make it look worse.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I can't help it.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
Please, Georgie, you wouldn't listen to me before. Listen to
me now, don't be crazy. Give yourself up. We'll get
a good lawyer and maybe a detective. Now what are
you hope?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Who's that?
Speaker 10 (05:24):
I don't know who is it?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Don't let him in.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
You know you're in that Conrad.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You don't want any trouble.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
You up, Marie.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
The building next door is the same height as this
one of his name.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I can get up the fire escape to the room.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
No, they'll have the building surrounded. They'll shoot you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
My only chance, Georgie, Please, you gotta try it.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
Then I've got to try.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Hello.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Oh hello, I'm looking for Michael Waring's apartments of Falcon.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You found it, are you?
Speaker 10 (06:08):
He?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's right?
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Well, I'm Marie Cameron. I phoned you a little while ago.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh, yes, come in, thank you.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
I since you call.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I've been doing some research. The story is in the paper,
and part of it.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
I want to give you the wrist.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All right, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Well, do you prefer to be called Fulkon or mister Wearings.
I'll settle for Mike, all right, but in that case,
you better call me Marie.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right, Marie? Now what did you want to tell? Then?
Speaker 10 (06:33):
I turned Georgie into the police because I know he's innocent.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You can't think of a better reason.
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Oh, I mean it. I was afraid of he tried
to escape, they'd shoot him. But now I've gotten him
into this jam. You've got to get him out of it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They're pretty good at making up other people's mind.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
But he's innocent, and you're such a good detective.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
So I hear you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Just keep listening to that kind of talk.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
I will if you live up to it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'll try.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Now, what makes you so sure Conrad is innocent? I
know you also know he bought a gun. Don't tell
me he was just going to use it as a paperway.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
He bought that for self defense?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Oh sure? Who ever heard of guns or anything else?
Speaker 10 (07:11):
You think he killed Taylor his gun did?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:13):
But that's just it. Can't you see how convenient it
was that the trash can was turned over so the
gun could be found.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It was a plant maybe, According to the paper, Conrad
claims Taylor got the gun away from in the fights.
But I didn't say what the fight was about, do
you know?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Yes, That's why I wanted to see you. Taylor was
a swindler. He sold Georgie an interest in now fake
silver mining project.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
How did Georgie find out it was fake?
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Mister Moody told him.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Who's Moody?
Speaker 10 (07:39):
Oh, the man who introduced Georgie to Taylor. And when
he found out Taylor was a crook, he felt terrible
about it and told Georgie right away, But Georgie had
already invested.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Is Moody a friend of Georgie's?
Speaker 10 (07:50):
No, they met on a train.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I think, where can I find Moody?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Well?
Speaker 10 (07:55):
I don't know, but I guess Georgie would. Why what
are you wanting for? Do you think Moody can help you?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Maybe in a number of ways. So if I'm going
to help you, I better get moving. Where are you
going to jail? Hello? Georgiane, who are you? Mike Wearing?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Haven't I heard that name somewhere before?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I hope?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
So what do you want?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Perhaps you could tell me how to find Frank Moody.
Why well, he might know something about this murder?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And what makes you think so?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Marie tells me that, Marie, what have you got to
do with her? I'm working for her?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
In fact, get out of here now, Look, George, I said,
get out.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll take it easy.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
He just made enough trouble it, So have you.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right, Georgie, get up?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sorry I had a sluggie, but you asked for it.
I don't want any help from Marie, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's no use trying to throw me out. I can't
get out of here even if I want.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
To until they make with the Oh yeah, I didn't
think so.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I noticed very interesting? What is where you blow your top?
Could explain what happened to Taylor? That's right, tell me
I killed him? See to kind of help? Marie gets me.
I don't say you kill Taylor, but the police do?
You seem determined to build up a case for them,
And maybe I can help you out of this.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I'm gonna need your help. Do I get it?
Or do you like bars in the window.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I don't want any help from Marie.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm not Marie. You're working for her. I'm working for
whoever pays me. If you want to pick up the check,
fight it out with her.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Do you think you can do anything for me?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Wearing?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Probably if I can find Moody.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't know where he stay. He always called me.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh fine, but I don't think he knows anything about it.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He was Taylor's come on, wasn't he?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He introduced us.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
But I'm sure they weren't working together. Why it was
Moody who told me Taylor was a crook. That's right
after you had invested. Even so, it was Moody that
suggested that you buy a gun. Wasn't it to protect myself?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah? Yeah, sure? In fact, was following Moody's advice that
landed you right where you are.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You better start thinking.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Are you suggesting Moody's the murderer?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm just suggesting it's worth looking into.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah it is. I had an idea with somebody else
who's been swindled by Taylor. But the way you line
things up.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I mean the way Moody has lined you up.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
If only I could tell you where to find them?
Or didn't he ever say anything that might give a lead,
not that I can think of. Oh, come on, think hard,
though your life depended upon it, because there's a good
chance it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Does this, Is it hurly?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He friends, Well, it sounds as though Mike and George
Conrad are going to have to think pretty hard to
find Moody.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yes, the way you have to think when you want
to find.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
A way to make good use of those leftover pieces
of yesterday's roast. But making use of leftovers isn't hard
at all. If you make Velvita your handy helper. You
can melt Craft's famous pasteurized processed cheese food.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
For a smooth golden cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Sauce to pour over those leftovers for a brand new
hot Maine dish. And this velveta sauce is so easy
to make. All you do is melt a half pound
of velveta in the top of your double border. You
don't have to cut velveta up because it melts so
easily and so smoothly without any lumps. Then Jester in
a quarter cup of milk season to your taste, and
(11:32):
there you have the smoothest golden cheese sauce ever, Just
the thing to pour over leftover bits of meat or
seafood or vegetables for a main dish that really tastes good,
Extra good because Velvita has such a rich yet mild
cheddar cheese flavor. And this sauce is extra nourishing too,
(11:53):
because Velvita is so rich in important food.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Values from milk.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Make it your handy helper mother for easy, hot made
dishes and for hearty snacks and sandwiches too. Tomorrow you
get a two pound loaf of the pasteurized processed cheese
food of top quality, genuine velvet Doe. Now back to
(12:20):
the adventures of the Fulcon. Ten minutes have pasted its
Mike Wearing had his talk with Georgie Conrad. Now the
Falcon drops into the homicide Durea to have a talk
with Sergeant Cormack.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh Corbett, well you've done it again, ah.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Are you Wearing? What have I done with your usual
brilliant logic, You locked up the wrong guy. If you're
talking about Georgie Conrad.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Wells, don't tell me you pulled any other Bonus Bonner.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Hey, yeah, you're right. Wearing. Conrad is unbottledly innocent. That's
why I pulled a sprint when I questioned him.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Well, he's impulsive, that's all.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Jerry runs for cover when he says a badge. This
kind of impulse I don't go for.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Doesn't prove anything.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It doesn't have to with all the rest we have
on him.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You could be wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I'm willing to be Sean. What have you got a character?
Who got Conrad into this?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Frank Moody one a on him? That's what I want
to ask you. You have anything on him?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Just that he's a name Conrad gave me. He has
no record, he has no address. If that's your hot Lee,
I'd like to have a talk with him, go ahead.
All you have to do is find him.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I was coming on him. Assist from you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
If he drops in, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's too good to me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Think nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I MNTA leave me Corbett. I don't.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
Hello, Hello, Marie, this is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Oh yes, Mike, what is it?
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Do you ever meet Frank Moody with Georgie?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Once? It's enough if you remember him?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Well, I think I would if I saw him again.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Good?
Speaker 9 (13:53):
How soon can you get here where the Hollis Hotel
is Moody there? That's what I want you to tell me.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
I'll be right over.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, Mike, hello, Marie, run over here. We can sit down.
You can watch the people as they go through the lobby.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
Hiight, But what makes you think i'll see Moody.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I check with Taylor's apartment house. All outgoing calls go
through the desk there and the clerk writes down the numbers.
Taylor made five calls at this hotel the last few
days before he was killed.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
And you think he was calling Moody.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
He was calling somebody and would have been Moody.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Did you ask for Moody at the desk?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh? Naturally, they say there's nobody here by that name.
But who says he used his right name?
Speaker 10 (14:42):
Well? How long do you expect me to sit.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Here until you see Moody?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
It may take all day?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
All right? If you want to help, Georgie, do.
Speaker 10 (14:50):
You think Moody can help?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
But suppose he's checked out, or suppose it isn't Moody
who Taylor was calling.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
He can't always play a sure thing Angel, the other
one who said I have to clear Georgie.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Not if you can't spare the time, I'm willing.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
I just hope it. You wait a Minuteary, he is
where waiting for the elevator.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Good, I'll join him.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
And it didn't even take five minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This is the third lead I've tracked down, and it's
the first one that was even hot enough to call
you in on.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
I'll be seeing you, Marie.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Hello, Marie, I beg your pardon, I said, hello, Moody,
my name is mars Let your friends call you Moody.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Mike wear him a friend of Georgie. Conrad very up?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Excuse me?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh that's all right, friend, I'm right with you.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
What do you want with me?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Wearing tie up with Taylor and I have no tie
up with him? He led Conrad to him. I'm admitting nothing.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh, it's easy to prove, and I won't be the
only one you sucked in. Ought to be plenty of
people to identify him. I'll cross that bridge when I
come to it. And now you finished? Or do you
care to come in?
Speaker 10 (16:04):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I haven't even started I'll come in very well.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're what they call.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
A private eye, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Also?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Dick Seamers flat foot for hire? A snooper a hawkshaw Michelle,
I go on, I get the idea. How did you
find me with those credentials?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
What do you expect? At any rate?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You're a step ahead of the police. They haven't been
here yet. That's good, is it? As long as we
can keep you step ahead. I didn't want to be
connected with this, and you're going to tell me how
you found out so that I can wipe out the connection.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You'll have to wipe me out too.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You'll begin to get the idea. Don't reach for gun,
not as long as you beat me to it. I'd
hate you to think I'm a copycat.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Now you'll just raise your hands.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
That's it, Rocky, Rocky.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You want me miss Moody? Oh? Who's a Fred Michael
Waring Defolk?
Speaker 10 (16:56):
It?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Is that what they call him? Must be wonderful to
be educated like you are, Rocky. Well, let's clip the
falcon's talents, frisk him for a rod oughs clean mhmm.
It rather careless of your wearing coming here without a gun,
and I can't see what good of it?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Do mean?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You have a point?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Know what, mister Moody, Tie him up? Okay, you should
I geg him.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It won't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
One sound out of him, and he knows you will
shut him up. You'd better be tied up because you
and I are going to have to make plans, and
while we're doing it, we don't want the falcon flying away.
(17:46):
Well wearing, how do you feel said to be untied?
You and your boy had your contab.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yes, wearing.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So I have things to do.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Rocky will keep you company.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
So long take care of him.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Rocky, you sure walked into something, mister.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Maybe I'll get out of it. Moody doesn't seem very smart.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Who says so?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
He should have kept up his bluff. This rough stuff
just clinches things against him.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
But who knows about it except you, and you're not
gonna talk.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's only one way to shut me up.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
He knows that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But the place now I'm working on this case, anything
happens to me, they will.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now it's tied to the tailor murder.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
So what so what becomes of the frame Moody had
worked out for Conrad. Conrad's in the poking now so
that clears him of anything that happens to me.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You don't give Moody credit. Do you think he didn't
think of that?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Doesn't look like it.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
So the frame against Conrad fools might anyway with him,
horror and frame. The question is who framed him?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And what's Moody's answer?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
What's the matter with Conrad's girl, Marie? Yes, she turned
them in. Who's to say she didn't do it to
protect herself?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh so that's it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
That's it. And then he hires you to make it
look like she's innocent. But you stumble onto something, so
she has to get rid of you. Two. I say,
she's not stirred, so anything that happens to you will
fit right into the picture.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, I've got to apologize to Moody. I underestimated him.
You're the one who's playing it dumb me. Yeah, how
do you figure that? The mood is obviously a character
who likes to go it alone. He gets rid of
anybody who knows too much about him or with whom
he has to split little blood more or that doesn't
mean a thing to him.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How long do you think it's going to be before
he gives you a dose of the same.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
He wouldn't maybe not, But if I were you, I
wouldn't sleep so good as soon as he decides you
are necessary to him anymore. Okay, just think it over. Crazy,
not as crazy as Taylor. He thought he and Moody
were partners. Look what happened to him?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I said, shut up, all right, Rocky, you don't want
to face it.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
I suppose see you expect me to let you go.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It would be the smart thing to do, ehl.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Even if Moody is like you say, What's to stop
me from clearing up before he gets back and leaving
you here?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Nothing except that when Moody gets through with me, don't
you think he'll go gunning for you?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
But if I let you go so you can finish Moody,
what's to stop you from coming after me?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Nothing? But my heart wouldn't be in it as much
as Moody's.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I'll have to think it over.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You do that and think fast, because when Moody gets back,
he'll be calling the shots. And I've got an idea.
He has one label for each of us.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is ed Hurley here again.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Friends, Well, I should say, Rocky will have to think
fast if he's going to get Mike and himself out
of this predicament as fast as you have to think
when unexpected company comes and you have to fix something
to eat in a hurry. Of course, if you have
a two pound loaf of Velveta in your refrigerator, your
problem is solved, because in a matter of minutes you
can slice Craft's delicious pasteurized processed cheese food and make
(21:12):
golden brown grilled cheese sandwiches your guests will.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Really go for, and no wonder.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Velvita has such a fine, rich, yet mild cheddar cheese flavor,
and Velveta sandwiches are as wholesome as snack as you
could want, because Velveta is rich in important food values
from milk and as digestible as milk itself. Make Velvita
your handy helper, won't you? Or delicious wholesome snacks and
fine hot dishes too. Get genuine Velveta tomorrow. Now back
(21:49):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a few minutes
since Mike tried to convince Rocky that he was on
the wrong team. Rocky is thinking it over, and he's
still thinking, and the door opens and Moody returned.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, Rocky I just talked to Conrad's girl on the telephone.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
She fell for it nicely. Yeah, I asked her to
meet you in half an hour at Roper's grill. Now
when she gets there, here's what I want you to
tell her. Just a minute, Moody, what's that right over
there we're wearing in the corner.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
On the desk looks like a telephone to me?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Out of this wearing.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I can't help wondering why you had to go out
to the phone with one ride here in the room. Yeah?
Was it because there was something you didn't want Rocky
to hear?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Couldn't it be something I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You to hear?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Considering your plan for me doesn't seem likely.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Oh but mister Moody, don't be silly Rocky. And how
come you're asking Rocky to meet Marie? Why not me?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
To yourself, I told you to stay out of this wearing.
That's the trouble with tagging a guy for the big sleep.
It's one way take it for me anyway? So why
should I take orders? Because you can go out faster,
you can go out slow if you insist upon being annoying,
There's still time for Rocky to make you quite uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I don't think so. I have an idea. Rocky is
interested in what I have to say.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Rocky will do what I tell him. For instance, why
are you having him meet the girl in the public
place that's not wearing Is it because you want them
to be seen together? Of course not makes it very convenient, Rocky.
You're wearing a simple light to interrupt? Or are you
really having the girl meet him there? Why are you
lying a Rocky? Yeah, you do talk to the girl
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I have to know. That's impossible, Rocky, for the last time.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Why is it impossible, Weary, because she couldn't be reached
by phone? You know, because right now she's downstairs in
the lobby of this hotel. Don't listen to him, Rocky.
Can't you see what he's trying to do?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Can you prove what you said? Weary?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Go see for yourself. Only take a minute. Say where
you are, Rocky.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
He asked a lot of questions. Moody, you didn't answer it.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I don't have to answer to him.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Well, then answer me.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's your attitude.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Here's your answer.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
He drop your gun, Rocky, sitting there with a gun
in your hand.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
You let him beat you to the drawer. I didn't
think I had drop that gun.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Sure, Moody, like, so.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You a fool making me do that?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
People will be coming, that's right, Moody. Well you can
stop bloating wearing. That means I've got to take care
of you right now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, Moody, at least give me time. But how did
you Rocky was a full bat, a complete fool.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Now I'll take the gun.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
No, you don't know right, and I'll do this, say Corbett.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Moody didn't know my.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Hands were untired, and that gave me a chance to
jump him.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I mean, you talked Rocky into switching to your side
wearing Well, not entirely, but I had him worried. So
he untied me and sat behind me with a gun
in his hand. He wanted to see which way the
cards lay, and he was ready to play either side. Ah,
But when he found out that Moody was double crossing him,
he was too slow in the drawer.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh, by the way, now that you've got Moody, did
you get him to talk?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah? Yeah, he signed a statement.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Good.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I was guessing at his double cross. Did he fill
in the details? Yeah, you were right. About it. I'm
not calling the girl. He just wanted Rocky to go
out asking for in order to establish the connection Rocky,
because if anything happened.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
To either one, the other would be blamed.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, one thing you got to say to the Moody.
He's a guy who went all out and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You were overlooking him from my little dope like Conrad
who says I was overlooking him.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Don't come now, Corbett. I try to see the Moody,
but you couldn't see it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Sure, I got rocks in my head. Well, now that
you mentioned wearing Corbett, who did all the legwork tracking
down Moody, who got last sowed by a thug and
nearly wound up with a bullet and his insides, Who
are you trying to prove? Who's sitting across the table
from me right now, the shiner the size of a grapefruit,
which he got risking life and limb disarming a desperate
(25:45):
killer who he has to turn over to me when
he gets some disarmed. Well, all the time, dope be me.
Can't think of anything but rest my feet in my
desk and wonder what to do. And I'll wait him
there wearing I got rocks in my head. You're the
smart boy. You know something that suits me? Just fine?
Care I genius. This is Mike Wearing friends and I
(26:15):
have something very important to talk to you about. It's
your safety and an air raid run can't happen here

be sure. So we've got to be prepared. Yes, you,
me and every man and woman and child must know
what to do to protect himself. There are official civil

Washington DC. You got that, Superintendent of Documents, Washington, DC,

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's Sunday night in New York and in the Midtown
hotel room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
An ugly smile that has almost a sneer twist.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The thin lips of stocky Ed Taylor as he looks
with bored and sleepy eyes at the young man who
was pacing the floor in front of him.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Sit down, Conrad, give you feet of rest.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You haven't given me your answer yet. Do I get
my money back at don't? I?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Now think about it?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
What's the think?
Speaker 6 (00:55):
You gave me a rocket?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Either you make good on it or what do I
get my money?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Come here, Conry, what do you want?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Tell you something?
Speaker 7 (01:04):
What I could go?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
That's the idea? What are you trying to do?
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Just taking precaution?
Speaker 8 (01:09):
Yeah, here we are.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So you brought a gun with you.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I wasn't gonna use it much. I had had to
to protect myself.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Well, now that you don't have any protection, don't you
think it's a little dangerous to hang around here.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'll get a lawyer.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
If a lawyer could.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Do you any good, you wouldn't have come up here.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Throwing your weight around.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I hate to keep you because I know you must
have things to do. Shall I show you out or
throw you out?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
All right?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Teller, you win this ride, I win them all.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Pals, you might as well throw in the towel unless
you want to see what it feels like to get
counted out.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
We'll say about that goodbye.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Tell him you're an old meanie Taylor.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
That was no way to treat the fella, dum jerk.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He had a gun like you said he would. Yes,
I wonder if he'll try anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I doubt it, But as long as he doesn't know
we're working together, I can always find out.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let's see the gun here.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Could you hear all he said in the other room?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Forty five?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Conrad believes in doing things in a big way.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
He probably won't quit. You better have a talk with
him tomorrow. See if he's planning anything.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Or maybe it won't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I have thought of one way I can kill two
birds with one stone or one bullet.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
What you're not going to kill him?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, Taylor, I'm not going to kill him.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What kind of a gag is that?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
We wait a minute, Moody, don't point out.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You're the owner of the shop.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
What I said?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Are you the owner of this place?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, George Conrad, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
How's business?
Speaker 9 (03:06):
What I said?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
How's look? Turn off that record? Well here's a week
of talk?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Oh yeah, shoot shu, what were you saying?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I said? The record? Business must be pretty good? Why
for you to be able to blow ten grand Conrad?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Why sick?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Sergeant Corbett? Police Department?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Police? Well, what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
He found your name and Ed Taylor's books? Oh you've
got his books? Can you prove anything about? What about
his swindling? Oh you think he's a swindler? Of course,
isn't that why you picked him up? Not exactly?
Speaker 10 (03:36):
Then?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
What found the gun? Traced it? You bought it a
couple of days ago.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
What's that got to do?
Speaker 10 (03:42):
That?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Killed Taylor?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Killed?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's what I said?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh so that's it. But surely you don't.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Look if I had anything to do with the shooting,
I certainly wouldn't have left my own gun there. Why
did you leave your gun there?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Taylor took it away from me.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Why did you buy the gun?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I thought there might be trouble when I demanded my money.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So you admit demanding honey, You admit you expected trouble.
You admit you went up there with a gun. I
didn't kill him, Like I said, I suddenly wouldn't have
left the gun. There wasn't left there. It was hidding
in a trash barrel in an alley. Thereby, if the
barrel hadn't been accidentally knocked over, the gun probably never
would have been discovered.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, then all I can say is get out of
my way.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Hey, I right stop?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well hello, George, you got the door quick, I said,
shut it?
Speaker 10 (04:37):
What's the matter?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Why do I lock it?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Marie? The police arrested me?
Speaker 10 (04:42):
The police? Why what did you do?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Nobody killed Taylor?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh no, I think it was me. I admitted I
had a row with him. But you didn't kill him,
of course not. But how am I going to prove
it if you didn't do it?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
When I was there. The bullet was from my gun.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
It was, but how could he?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Taylor got it away from me. I don't know what
happened after that.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
I did you not to get a gun?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
All right? You will?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Right, let's not go into that.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Now. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well?
Speaker 10 (05:05):
First, you better give yourself up.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I can't. They got too much on me.
Speaker 10 (05:07):
But running away will only make it look worse.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I can't help it.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
Please, Georgie, you wouldn't listen to me before. Listen to
me now, don't be crazy. Give yourself up. We'll get
a good lawyer and maybe a detective. Now what are
you hope?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Who's that?
Speaker 10 (05:24):
I don't know who is it?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Don't let him in.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
You know you're in that Conrad.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You don't want any trouble.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
You up, Marie.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
The building next door is the same height as this
one of his name.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I can get up the fire escape to the room.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
No, they'll have the building surrounded. They'll shoot you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
My only chance, Georgie, Please, you gotta try it.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
Then I've got to try.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Hello.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Oh hello, I'm looking for Michael Waring's apartments of Falcon.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You found it, are you?
Speaker 10 (06:08):
He?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's right?
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Well, I'm Marie Cameron. I phoned you a little while ago.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh, yes, come in, thank you.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
I since you call.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I've been doing some research. The story is in the paper,
and part of it.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
I want to give you the wrist.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All right, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Well, do you prefer to be called Fulkon or mister Wearings.
I'll settle for Mike, all right, but in that case,
you better call me Marie.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right, Marie? Now what did you want to tell? Then?
Speaker 10 (06:33):
I turned Georgie into the police because I know he's innocent.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You can't think of a better reason.
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Oh, I mean it. I was afraid of he tried
to escape, they'd shoot him. But now I've gotten him
into this jam. You've got to get him out of it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They're pretty good at making up other people's mind.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
But he's innocent, and you're such a good detective.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
So I hear you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Just keep listening to that kind of talk.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
I will if you live up to it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'll try.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Now, what makes you so sure Conrad is innocent? I
know you also know he bought a gun. Don't tell
me he was just going to use it as a paperway.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
He bought that for self defense?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Oh sure? Who ever heard of guns or anything else?
Speaker 10 (07:11):
You think he killed Taylor his gun did?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:13):
But that's just it. Can't you see how convenient it
was that the trash can was turned over so the
gun could be found.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It was a plant maybe, According to the paper, Conrad
claims Taylor got the gun away from in the fights.
But I didn't say what the fight was about, do
you know?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Yes, That's why I wanted to see you. Taylor was
a swindler. He sold Georgie an interest in now fake
silver mining project.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
How did Georgie find out it was fake?
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Mister Moody told him.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Who's Moody?
Speaker 10 (07:39):
Oh, the man who introduced Georgie to Taylor. And when
he found out Taylor was a crook, he felt terrible
about it and told Georgie right away, But Georgie had
already invested.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Is Moody a friend of Georgie's?
Speaker 10 (07:50):
No, they met on a train.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I think, where can I find Moody?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Well?
Speaker 10 (07:55):
I don't know, but I guess Georgie would. Why what
are you wanting for? Do you think Moody can help you?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Maybe in a number of ways. So if I'm going
to help you, I better get moving. Where are you
going to jail? Hello? Georgiane, who are you? Mike Wearing?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Haven't I heard that name somewhere before?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I hope?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
So what do you want?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Perhaps you could tell me how to find Frank Moody.
Why well, he might know something about this murder?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And what makes you think so?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Marie tells me that, Marie, what have you got to
do with her? I'm working for her?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
In fact, get out of here now, Look, George, I said,
get out.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll take it easy.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
He just made enough trouble it, So have you.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right, Georgie, get up?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sorry I had a sluggie, but you asked for it.
I don't want any help from Marie, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's no use trying to throw me out. I can't
get out of here even if I want.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
To until they make with the Oh yeah, I didn't
think so.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I noticed very interesting? What is where you blow your top?
Could explain what happened to Taylor? That's right, tell me
I killed him? See to kind of help? Marie gets me.
I don't say you kill Taylor, but the police do?
You seem determined to build up a case for them,
And maybe I can help you out of this.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I'm gonna need your help. Do I get it?
Or do you like bars in the window.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I don't want any help from Marie.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm not Marie. You're working for her. I'm working for
whoever pays me. If you want to pick up the check,
fight it out with her.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Do you think you can do anything for me?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Wearing?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Probably if I can find Moody.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't know where he stay. He always called me.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh fine, but I don't think he knows anything about it.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He was Taylor's come on, wasn't he?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He introduced us.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
But I'm sure they weren't working together. Why it was
Moody who told me Taylor was a crook. That's right
after you had invested. Even so, it was Moody that
suggested that you buy a gun. Wasn't it to protect myself?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah? Yeah, sure? In fact, was following Moody's advice that
landed you right where you are.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You better start thinking.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Are you suggesting Moody's the murderer?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm just suggesting it's worth looking into.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah it is. I had an idea with somebody else
who's been swindled by Taylor. But the way you line
things up.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I mean the way Moody has lined you up.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
If only I could tell you where to find them?
Or didn't he ever say anything that might give a lead,
not that I can think of. Oh, come on, think hard,
though your life depended upon it, because there's a good
chance it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Does this, Is it hurly?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He friends, Well, it sounds as though Mike and George
Conrad are going to have to think pretty hard to
find Moody.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yes, the way you have to think when you want
to find.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
A way to make good use of those leftover pieces
of yesterday's roast. But making use of leftovers isn't hard
at all. If you make Velvita your handy helper. You
can melt Craft's famous pasteurized processed cheese food.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
For a smooth golden cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Sauce to pour over those leftovers for a brand new
hot Maine dish. And this velveta sauce is so easy
to make. All you do is melt a half pound
of velveta in the top of your double border. You
don't have to cut velveta up because it melts so
easily and so smoothly without any lumps. Then Jester in
a quarter cup of milk season to your taste, and
(11:32):
there you have the smoothest golden cheese sauce ever, Just
the thing to pour over leftover bits of meat or
seafood or vegetables for a main dish that really tastes good,
Extra good because Velvita has such a rich yet mild
cheddar cheese flavor. And this sauce is extra nourishing too,
(11:53):
because Velvita is so rich in important food.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Values from milk.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Make it your handy helper mother for easy, hot made
dishes and for hearty snacks and sandwiches too. Tomorrow you
get a two pound loaf of the pasteurized processed cheese
food of top quality, genuine velvet Doe. Now back to
(12:20):
the adventures of the Fulcon. Ten minutes have pasted its
Mike Wearing had his talk with Georgie Conrad. Now the
Falcon drops into the homicide Durea to have a talk
with Sergeant Cormack.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh Corbett, well you've done it again, ah.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Are you Wearing? What have I done with your usual
brilliant logic, You locked up the wrong guy. If you're
talking about Georgie Conrad.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Wells, don't tell me you pulled any other Bonus Bonner.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Hey, yeah, you're right. Wearing. Conrad is unbottledly innocent. That's
why I pulled a sprint when I questioned him.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Well, he's impulsive, that's all.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Jerry runs for cover when he says a badge. This
kind of impulse I don't go for.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Doesn't prove anything.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It doesn't have to with all the rest we have
on him.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You could be wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I'm willing to be Sean. What have you got a character?
Who got Conrad into this?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Frank Moody one a on him? That's what I want
to ask you. You have anything on him?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Just that he's a name Conrad gave me. He has
no record, he has no address. If that's your hot Lee,
I'd like to have a talk with him, go ahead.
All you have to do is find him.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I was coming on him. Assist from you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
If he drops in, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's too good to me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Think nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I MNTA leave me Corbett. I don't.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
Hello, Hello, Marie, this is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Oh yes, Mike, what is it?
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Do you ever meet Frank Moody with Georgie?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Once? It's enough if you remember him?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Well, I think I would if I saw him again.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Good?
Speaker 9 (13:53):
How soon can you get here where the Hollis Hotel
is Moody there? That's what I want you to tell me.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
I'll be right over.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, Mike, hello, Marie, run over here. We can sit down.
You can watch the people as they go through the lobby.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
Hiight, But what makes you think i'll see Moody.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I check with Taylor's apartment house. All outgoing calls go
through the desk there and the clerk writes down the numbers.
Taylor made five calls at this hotel the last few
days before he was killed.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
And you think he was calling Moody.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
He was calling somebody and would have been Moody.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Did you ask for Moody at the desk?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh? Naturally, they say there's nobody here by that name.
But who says he used his right name?
Speaker 10 (14:42):
Well? How long do you expect me to sit.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Here until you see Moody?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
It may take all day?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
All right? If you want to help, Georgie, do.
Speaker 10 (14:50):
You think Moody can help?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
But suppose he's checked out, or suppose it isn't Moody
who Taylor was calling.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
He can't always play a sure thing Angel, the other
one who said I have to clear Georgie.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Not if you can't spare the time, I'm willing.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
I just hope it. You wait a Minuteary, he is
where waiting for the elevator.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Good, I'll join him.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
And it didn't even take five minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This is the third lead I've tracked down, and it's
the first one that was even hot enough to call
you in on.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
I'll be seeing you, Marie.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Hello, Marie, I beg your pardon, I said, hello, Moody,
my name is mars Let your friends call you Moody.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Mike wear him a friend of Georgie. Conrad very up?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Excuse me?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh that's all right, friend, I'm right with you.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
What do you want with me?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Wearing tie up with Taylor and I have no tie
up with him? He led Conrad to him. I'm admitting nothing.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh, it's easy to prove, and I won't be the
only one you sucked in. Ought to be plenty of
people to identify him. I'll cross that bridge when I
come to it. And now you finished? Or do you
care to come in?
Speaker 10 (16:04):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I haven't even started I'll come in very well.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're what they call.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
A private eye, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Also?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Dick Seamers flat foot for hire? A snooper a hawkshaw Michelle,
I go on, I get the idea. How did you
find me with those credentials?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
What do you expect? At any rate?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You're a step ahead of the police. They haven't been
here yet. That's good, is it? As long as we
can keep you step ahead. I didn't want to be
connected with this, and you're going to tell me how
you found out so that I can wipe out the connection.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You'll have to wipe me out too.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You'll begin to get the idea. Don't reach for gun,
not as long as you beat me to it. I'd
hate you to think I'm a copycat.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Now you'll just raise your hands.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
That's it, Rocky, Rocky.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You want me miss Moody? Oh? Who's a Fred Michael
Waring Defolk?
Speaker 10 (16:56):
It?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Is that what they call him? Must be wonderful to
be educated like you are, Rocky. Well, let's clip the
falcon's talents, frisk him for a rod oughs clean mhmm.
It rather careless of your wearing coming here without a gun,
and I can't see what good of it?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Do mean?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You have a point?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Know what, mister Moody, Tie him up? Okay, you should
I geg him.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It won't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
One sound out of him, and he knows you will
shut him up. You'd better be tied up because you
and I are going to have to make plans, and
while we're doing it, we don't want the falcon flying away.
(17:46):
Well wearing, how do you feel said to be untied?
You and your boy had your contab.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yes, wearing.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So I have things to do.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Rocky will keep you company.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
So long take care of him.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Rocky, you sure walked into something, mister.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Maybe I'll get out of it. Moody doesn't seem very smart.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Who says so?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
He should have kept up his bluff. This rough stuff
just clinches things against him.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
But who knows about it except you, and you're not
gonna talk.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's only one way to shut me up.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
He knows that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But the place now I'm working on this case, anything
happens to me, they will.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now it's tied to the tailor murder.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
So what so what becomes of the frame Moody had
worked out for Conrad. Conrad's in the poking now so
that clears him of anything that happens to me.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You don't give Moody credit. Do you think he didn't
think of that?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Doesn't look like it.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
So the frame against Conrad fools might anyway with him,
horror and frame. The question is who framed him?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And what's Moody's answer?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
What's the matter with Conrad's girl, Marie? Yes, she turned
them in. Who's to say she didn't do it to
protect herself?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh so that's it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
That's it. And then he hires you to make it
look like she's innocent. But you stumble onto something, so
she has to get rid of you. Two. I say,
she's not stirred, so anything that happens to you will
fit right into the picture.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, I've got to apologize to Moody. I underestimated him.
You're the one who's playing it dumb me. Yeah, how
do you figure that? The mood is obviously a character
who likes to go it alone. He gets rid of
anybody who knows too much about him or with whom
he has to split little blood more or that doesn't
mean a thing to him.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How long do you think it's going to be before
he gives you a dose of the same.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
He wouldn't maybe not, But if I were you, I
wouldn't sleep so good as soon as he decides you
are necessary to him anymore. Okay, just think it over. Crazy,
not as crazy as Taylor. He thought he and Moody
were partners. Look what happened to him?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I said, shut up, all right, Rocky, you don't want
to face it.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
I suppose see you expect me to let you go.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It would be the smart thing to do, ehl.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Even if Moody is like you say, What's to stop
me from clearing up before he gets back and leaving
you here?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Nothing except that when Moody gets through with me, don't
you think he'll go gunning for you?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
But if I let you go so you can finish Moody,
what's to stop you from coming after me?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Nothing? But my heart wouldn't be in it as much
as Moody's.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I'll have to think it over.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You do that and think fast, because when Moody gets back,
he'll be calling the shots. And I've got an idea.
He has one label for each of us.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is ed Hurley here again.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Friends, Well, I should say, Rocky will have to think
fast if he's going to get Mike and himself out
of this predicament as fast as you have to think
when unexpected company comes and you have to fix something
to eat in a hurry. Of course, if you have
a two pound loaf of Velveta in your refrigerator, your
problem is solved, because in a matter of minutes you
can slice Craft's delicious pasteurized processed cheese food and make
(21:12):
golden brown grilled cheese sandwiches your guests will.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Really go for, and no wonder.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Velvita has such a fine, rich, yet mild cheddar cheese flavor,
and Velveta sandwiches are as wholesome as snack as you
could want, because Velveta is rich in important food values
from milk and as digestible as milk itself. Make Velvita
your handy helper, won't you? Or delicious wholesome snacks and
fine hot dishes too. Get genuine Velveta tomorrow. Now back
(21:49):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a few minutes
since Mike tried to convince Rocky that he was on
the wrong team. Rocky is thinking it over, and he's
still thinking, and the door opens and Moody returned.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, Rocky I just talked to Conrad's girl on the telephone.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
She fell for it nicely. Yeah, I asked her to
meet you in half an hour at Roper's grill. Now
when she gets there, here's what I want you to
tell her. Just a minute, Moody, what's that right over
there we're wearing in the corner.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
On the desk looks like a telephone to me?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Out of this wearing.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I can't help wondering why you had to go out
to the phone with one ride here in the room. Yeah?
Was it because there was something you didn't want Rocky
to hear?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Couldn't it be something I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You to hear?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Considering your plan for me doesn't seem likely.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Oh but mister Moody, don't be silly Rocky. And how
come you're asking Rocky to meet Marie? Why not me?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
To yourself, I told you to stay out of this wearing.
That's the trouble with tagging a guy for the big sleep.
It's one way take it for me anyway? So why
should I take orders? Because you can go out faster,
you can go out slow if you insist upon being annoying,
There's still time for Rocky to make you quite uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I don't think so. I have an idea. Rocky is
interested in what I have to say.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Rocky will do what I tell him. For instance, why
are you having him meet the girl in the public
place that's not wearing Is it because you want them
to be seen together? Of course not makes it very convenient, Rocky.
You're wearing a simple light to interrupt? Or are you
really having the girl meet him there? Why are you
lying a Rocky? Yeah, you do talk to the girl
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I have to know. That's impossible, Rocky, for the last time.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Why is it impossible, Weary, because she couldn't be reached
by phone? You know, because right now she's downstairs in
the lobby of this hotel. Don't listen to him, Rocky.
Can't you see what he's trying to do?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Can you prove what you said? Weary?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Go see for yourself. Only take a minute. Say where
you are, Rocky.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
He asked a lot of questions. Moody, you didn't answer it.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I don't have to answer to him.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Well, then answer me.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's your attitude.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Here's your answer.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
He drop your gun, Rocky, sitting there with a gun
in your hand.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
You let him beat you to the drawer. I didn't
think I had drop that gun.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Sure, Moody, like, so.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You a fool making me do that?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
People will be coming, that's right, Moody. Well you can
stop bloating wearing. That means I've got to take care
of you right now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, Moody, at least give me time. But how did
you Rocky was a full bat, a complete fool.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Now I'll take the gun.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
No, you don't know right, and I'll do this, say Corbett.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Moody didn't know my.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Hands were untired, and that gave me a chance to
jump him.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I mean, you talked Rocky into switching to your side
wearing Well, not entirely, but I had him worried. So
he untied me and sat behind me with a gun
in his hand. He wanted to see which way the
cards lay, and he was ready to play either side. Ah,
But when he found out that Moody was double crossing him,
he was too slow in the drawer.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh, by the way, now that you've got Moody, did
you get him to talk?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah? Yeah, he signed a statement.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Good.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I was guessing at his double cross. Did he fill
in the details? Yeah, you were right. About it. I'm
not calling the girl. He just wanted Rocky to go
out asking for in order to establish the connection Rocky,
because if anything happened.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
To either one, the other would be blamed.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, one thing you got to say to the Moody.
He's a guy who went all out and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You were overlooking him from my little dope like Conrad
who says I was overlooking him.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Don't come now, Corbett. I try to see the Moody,
but you couldn't see it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Sure, I got rocks in my head. Well, now that
you mentioned wearing Corbett, who did all the legwork tracking
down Moody, who got last sowed by a thug and
nearly wound up with a bullet and his insides, Who
are you trying to prove? Who's sitting across the table
from me right now, the shiner the size of a grapefruit,
which he got risking life and limb disarming a desperate
(25:45):
killer who he has to turn over to me when
he gets some disarmed. Well, all the time, dope be me.
Can't think of anything but rest my feet in my
desk and wonder what to do. And I'll wait him
there wearing I got rocks in my head. You're the
smart boy. You know something that suits me? Just fine?
Care I genius. This is Mike Wearing friends and I
(26:15):
have something very important to talk to you about. It's
your safety and an air raid run can't happen here
Heaven knows. We hope it never will, but we can't
be sure. So we've got to be prepared. Yes, you,
me and every man and woman and child must know
what to do to protect himself. There are official civil
(26:38):
defense air raid instructions everyone should learn by heart.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
If you can't get.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
These instruction sheets from your local civil defense office, send
five cents in coin or stamps to the Superintendent of Documents,
Washington DC. You got that, Superintendent of Documents, Washington, DC,
and be sure to learn these air raid safety rules
by you never can tell they may save your life.
Speaker 11 (27:10):
The Case of the Missing Miss. The Case of the
Missing Miss that's the title of next week's Adventure of
