It's Wednesday evening in New York, and in a small
furnished room on Manhattan's East Side, a gentleman named Carl
Hoffman glares at an old clock as if commanding it
to stop, and when it continues to ignore mister Hoffman's wishes,
he holds.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Off and makes known his displeasure. Hey take it easy, Carl,
I'll tell me to take it easy. Shee you went
and busted the clock. That's not all I'm going to
bust either. West Janet ever her a chance, Carl, She'll
show when she was due here an hour ago. Maybe
she got hired up with a jerk Harry Jensen. That's
still no excuse. I told her. I doesn't get that.
Just a second, Hello, Sheppie, we were just in time.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Janet's matter.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Carl's blowing his top.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Don't worry about it, Janet, Yeah, were a devil you
would do here at eight?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
They were what they call extenuating circumstances.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You're out with Harry Jensen. How'd you make out?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Well, he's loosening up a little, but he still wouldn't
kick through with the information.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That's a nice How do you do.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
If you think you can do better?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I can't take it easy? Call you too, Janet?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Does he get off balling me out? How long have
I had to work on Harry?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But we know it's only been a week. The time
is getting short. Vince Dario will be here tomorrow. Who
Vince Dario? Carl is bringing him in from Toledo for this? Why?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because he's the best man in the business, That's why.
And Vince isn't the kind of a guy will hang
around if we can't promise some action.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Well, I'm doing everything I can.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I'm sure she is. Carl. Now, why don't you two
just kiss and make up? All right? I'm sorry, Jennet
to get it, hannay, I don't mind me. Folks, grab
yourself a watch.

think have something to report from that? Harry Jensen characters?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Maybe to night summer?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
How about it? Janet? And I think if you got
him good in class that he might start talking.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
It's never been a problem with Harry. The tough thing
is to make him quit.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We'll get him started in the right direction. Baby.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
How when he stops will be on easy stream?
Speaker 1 (03:33):

Wait a minute, is that you Janet? Hello? Hello? What's trouble?
I think that was Janet? You don't imagine it. Don't

And hang up? You know something? Thence that's just what
I was wondering. I'll be back in an hour. Hello, Hello,
(17:06):

calling Mike Wearing? We just stepped out for a while.
I want to leave a message. Who's this It's okay.
I'm a friend of his. My name is Vince Dario.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'll tell Hawfman I'm going to lead on his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
He's supposed to be at Riverdale Arm.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
If you'll meet me at the eighty six o'clock we'll.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thanks a lot, mister Worry. I know Kyle will be
glad to hear that Wearing Wearing over here. It's about time, Hoffman, Larry,
(17:48):
I'm late, but I just got your message, which gets
your dough from a punk named Sheppy Oliver?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
What Hey pulled a gun on me.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's the funniest thing I've heard yet, is it? Yeah?
Sheffie's a friend of mine. That's so when he heard
asking for Janet, he must have gotten suspicious. Why he's
not very bright? What was that address he gave you again?
Riverdale Arms? That's what I thought. It's a bump step.
How do you know that's where Sheppie lives himself? Why
would he give me his own address? Probably rattle him
(18:15):
so badly. He was the only thing you could think
of that's one possiblity you think of any other? Yeah,
maybe Janet had a partner.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You mean Sheppie.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Why not? He's my best friend.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Janet wears your best girl. Let's go see who's playing
on whose team? For a being the last one down
(18:46):
the hall wearing you know, there's one thing that throws me.
Only one after I left your office, I went back
to Janet's apartment. I was talking with Vince Dario when
the phone range so the girl got on. I would
have sworn it was Janet, but she claimed it was
a wrong number.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Maybe she's trying to get and talk with Sheppier and
she got frightened when she heard your voice. Could be
but I never thought Sheppy was the type. This is
the place. I just can't believe it. M hm, what's
the matter? Un luck? Yeah, yeah, just as I figured.
And I guess I better call the police. Eh, take
(19:24):
a good look, ohly smoke, it's Sheppy.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, and with that slug in his head, I don't
think he's in any position.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
To call the cops himself. Where's the phone? Come on,
Vince hoping up? What take you so long? I was
(19:56):
busy with your friend. No, it's right. You boys haven't
met Mike. This is Vince Darien. How do you do? Hi?
How did that lead pan out? Not too bad? You
find Janet?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
There?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, we found Sheppy. I don't get it. He was
murdered by who Janet. That's one way to look at it.
They're running at it. I suppose Janet was working with
a man. You mean Sheppy? I don't see it. That's
just what I said. Look, I suppose we forget the
whole thing. What do you mean we gambled and lost? Ah?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You surprised me, Vince. A couple hours ago you were
botting me up and not doing anything. Now you're wanting
to write the whole thing off. There's no use crying
over spilt milk. Sure, with Ady Grant in your pocket,
you can always buy yourself another quart. Oh you say
something wearing just though.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Look you've been hitting it something all along.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What is I think you know where Janet is? I
was a sucker not to see it before. We are fool, Carl.
Can't you see what Janet's doing? Jane might have Sheppie.
Now she's turning us against each other. Somebody put her
up to it, and I got a feeling it shot.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Cut it out this Mike, where is Come on, Hoffman,
break it up, Mike, let me go, I said, break
it up, Oh, Dario, that was the idea, Hoffman.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't like double crusses. Get the keys out of
his pucket. What for?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I got to hunch Janets hold up in his apartment,
and I'm gonna play it to the hilt.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Only a few minutes have passed since Carl Hoffman decided
that Janet might be hiding in Vince Dario's apartment. Now
he and Mike are at Darrios, but so far there's
been no sign of Janet.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Looks like your huntress worth of Hoffman, and he's rather
the kitchen. I've been all over the place. There's no
one here. I still believe that Janet was working. Wait
a minute, open that draw again. I thought I saw
an envelope in there.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Are you right, mister Vince Dario twenty seven, nineteen, Bolton Avenue, Detroit.
Look at the postmark, Bedford Hills, March sixteenth, nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now look at the return address on the other side.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Janet Halsey State Penitentiary for Women, Uh huh, you get it,
And I was right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Vince knew Janet all along. Well, he could build up
a convincing case on the face of it. But where
is she now? Can't you think of somewhere she might go?
We've covered every possible hide out. Oh we haven't. There's
one place you're forgetting, Huffman, who's yours?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What are you talking about? You are the man who
put Janet up to this. You plant a double crossier
mar from the beginning. Yeah, yeah, and I thought you
did pretty well. You murdered Sheppey and framed Vince Dario,
and I only.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Left Janet to be taken care of. What about you?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't think you're man enough that just goes. That's
the matter, huff When you lose something, that's what you're
looking for.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Where'd you get that gun?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I lifted it off you when you were shoving Dario around.
Just say the word friend and I'll give it back
to you a slug at a time.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Well, what happened after that, Mike?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
You know the rest, Jennifer. As soon as the police
picked up Carl, I went to his apartment and picked
me up.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And not a bad day's work at then, Oh no,
I'm talking about the little bag you had with you
containing eighty grand belonging to the McGill company.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Oh what gets me is how you people knew exactly
what time the payroll was to be delivered.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Oh, I had inside information from the.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Boy who delivered it. How did you get it figured?
And what did you do? Use your feminine wilds?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
He didn't take much. He wanted to prove what a
great big man he was.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, you have that effect on the up of it takes. Yeah,
it's just too bad you had all your work for nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
I guess when you come down to what I was
pretty lucky at that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You sure worry whom. There's no doubt that with Sheppy
and Vince Dario disposed of, you were next. Don Karl's
this dirty double crossing, Hannah. No, there's no reason to
be angry.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
After all, you were in on ninety nine percent of
the flot. He just neglected to tell you the big
finish he planned for you. Oh, Wincidently, when you called
your apartment and got Hoffman on the phone, why did
you pretend it was the wrong number?
Speaker 6 (24:24):
We had it arranged. When Karl picked up the phone
and said yes, what do you want? I knew he
wasn't alone, and that was my cue to hang up.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Pretty cute, Hu.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That was the second way he convinced Dario he was
acting above board. What was the first mike hiring me?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He had to go through with the motions of trying
to find you, and what would make him look more
innocent than hiring a private detective.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I still don't see what proved you he was guilty
of the return address on.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The envelope I found in Dario's room gave your.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Name as Janet Hawsey, and Carl told me when you
were up at the women's pen. He served time under
the name of Lois's Heart, though obviously the letter was
a frame.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
And Karl was the only one who could have pled.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
You know you're pretty wonderful, honey, I mean, mister wearing.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh, I don't mind your getting affectionate. After all, we're
going to be seeing lots of each other, Janet, are
we almost past our destination?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Is this where you live?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's the matter with you? Janet? Don't you recognize the building?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
It's police headquarters.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's right, you know?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Good double cut?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Now, Now, what are you complaining about? Angel I promise
you we'd be.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Seeing a lot of each other.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Can I help with it? For the next ten years,
it'll have to be through bars,
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yes, this is the Falcon speaking O Peggy. I'm glad
you called. I'll have to ask for a rain check. Angel,
I'm all tied up. Mm hmm. An active friend of
mine just brought himself a gun, and the way it
looks now, he figures to make a big hit.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
The Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Damon. You met
the Falcon first in his best selling novels, then you
saw him in his thrilling motion picture series.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Now join him on the air when the Falcon salves.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The Case of the Disappearing Doll, and now the Case
of the Disappearing Doll.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
It's Wednesday evening in New York, and in a small
furnished room on Manhattan's East Side, a gentleman named Carl
Hoffman glares at an old clock as if commanding it
to stop, and when it continues to ignore mister Hoffman's wishes,
he holds.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Off and makes known his displeasure. Hey take it easy, Carl,
I'll tell me to take it easy. Shee you went
and busted the clock. That's not all I'm going to
bust either. West Janet ever her a chance, Carl, She'll
show when she was due here an hour ago. Maybe
she got hired up with a jerk Harry Jensen. That's
still no excuse. I told her. I doesn't get that.
Just a second, Hello, Sheppie, we were just in time.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Janet's matter.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Carl's blowing his top.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Don't worry about it, Janet, Yeah, were a devil you
would do here at eight?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
They were what they call extenuating circumstances.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You're out with Harry Jensen. How'd you make out?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Well, he's loosening up a little, but he still wouldn't
kick through with the information.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That's a nice How do you do.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
If you think you can do better?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I can't take it easy? Call you too, Janet?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Does he get off balling me out? How long have
I had to work on Harry?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But we know it's only been a week. The time
is getting short. Vince Dario will be here tomorrow. Who
Vince Dario? Carl is bringing him in from Toledo for this? Why?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because he's the best man in the business, That's why.
And Vince isn't the kind of a guy will hang
around if we can't promise some action.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Well, I'm doing everything I can.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I'm sure she is. Carl. Now, why don't you two
just kiss and make up? All right? I'm sorry, Jennet
to get it, hannay, I don't mind me. Folks, grab
yourself a watch.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Come on, fell let's break it up and now we
get work to do. He's right, sweetheart. What do you
think have something to report from that? Harry Jensen characters?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
They wanted to simulate at night?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Maybe to night summer?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
How about it? Janet? And I think if you got
him good in class that he might start talking.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
It's never been a problem with Harry. The tough thing
is to make him quit.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We'll get him started in the right direction. Baby.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
How when he stops will be on easy stream?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, do for me, Janet?
Speaker 6 (03:38):

twenty half to nine. Your girlfriend hasn't shown up yet,
so so I think we ought to start looking for her.

Wait a minute, is that you Janet? Hello? Hello? What's trouble?
I think that was Janet? You don't imagine it. Don't
tell me. I'd recognize her voice anywhere. What made her calling?
And hang up? You know something? Thence that's just what
I was wondering. I'll be back in an hour. Hello, Hello,
(17:06):
is it Jonathan Halsey's apartment? Yeah, how Hawfman there? Who's
calling Mike Wearing? We just stepped out for a while.
I want to leave a message. Who's this It's okay.
I'm a friend of his. My name is Vince Dario.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'll tell Hawfman I'm going to lead on his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
He's supposed to be at Riverdale Arm.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
If you'll meet me at the eighty six o'clock we'll.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Go over together.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thanks a lot, mister Worry. I know Kyle will be
glad to hear that Wearing Wearing over here. It's about time, Hoffman, Larry,
(17:48):
I'm late, but I just got your message, which gets
your dough from a punk named Sheppy Oliver?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
What Hey pulled a gun on me.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's the funniest thing I've heard yet, is it? Yeah?
Sheffie's a friend of mine. That's so when he heard
asking for Janet, he must have gotten suspicious. Why he's
not very bright? What was that address he gave you again?
Riverdale Arms? That's what I thought. It's a bump step.
How do you know that's where Sheppie lives himself? Why
would he give me his own address? Probably rattle him
(18:15):
so badly. He was the only thing you could think
of that's one possiblity you think of any other? Yeah,
maybe Janet had a partner.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You mean Sheppie.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Why not? He's my best friend.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Janet wears your best girl. Let's go see who's playing
on whose team? For a being the last one down
(18:46):
the hall wearing you know, there's one thing that throws me.
Only one after I left your office, I went back
to Janet's apartment. I was talking with Vince Dario when
the phone range so the girl got on. I would
have sworn it was Janet, but she claimed it was
a wrong number.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Maybe she's trying to get and talk with Sheppier and
she got frightened when she heard your voice. Could be
but I never thought Sheppy was the type. This is
the place. I just can't believe it. M hm, what's
the matter? Un luck? Yeah, yeah, just as I figured.
And I guess I better call the police. Eh, take
(19:24):
a good look, ohly smoke, it's Sheppy.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, and with that slug in his head, I don't
think he's in any position.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
To call the cops himself. Where's the phone? Come on,
Vince hoping up? What take you so long? I was
(19:56):
busy with your friend. No, it's right. You boys haven't
met Mike. This is Vince Darien. How do you do? Hi?
How did that lead pan out? Not too bad? You
find Janet?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
There?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, we found Sheppy. I don't get it. He was
murdered by who Janet. That's one way to look at it.
They're running at it. I suppose Janet was working with
a man. You mean Sheppy? I don't see it. That's
just what I said. Look, I suppose we forget the
whole thing. What do you mean we gambled and lost? Ah?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You surprised me, Vince. A couple hours ago you were
botting me up and not doing anything. Now you're wanting
to write the whole thing off. There's no use crying
over spilt milk. Sure, with Ady Grant in your pocket,
you can always buy yourself another quart. Oh you say
something wearing just though.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Look you've been hitting it something all along.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What is I think you know where Janet is? I
was a sucker not to see it before. We are fool, Carl.
Can't you see what Janet's doing? Jane might have Sheppie.
Now she's turning us against each other. Somebody put her
up to it, and I got a feeling it shot.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Cut it out this Mike, where is Come on, Hoffman,
break it up, Mike, let me go, I said, break
it up, Oh, Dario, that was the idea, Hoffman.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't like double crusses. Get the keys out of
his pucket. What for?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I got to hunch Janets hold up in his apartment,
and I'm gonna play it to the hilt.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Only a few minutes have passed since Carl Hoffman decided
that Janet might be hiding in Vince Dario's apartment. Now
he and Mike are at Darrios, but so far there's
been no sign of Janet.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Looks like your huntress worth of Hoffman, and he's rather
the kitchen. I've been all over the place. There's no
one here. I still believe that Janet was working. Wait
a minute, open that draw again. I thought I saw
an envelope in there.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Are you right, mister Vince Dario twenty seven, nineteen, Bolton Avenue, Detroit.
Look at the postmark, Bedford Hills, March sixteenth, nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now look at the return address on the other side.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Janet Halsey State Penitentiary for Women, Uh huh, you get it,
And I was right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Vince knew Janet all along. Well, he could build up
a convincing case on the face of it. But where
is she now? Can't you think of somewhere she might go?
We've covered every possible hide out. Oh we haven't. There's
one place you're forgetting, Huffman, who's yours?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What are you talking about? You are the man who
put Janet up to this. You plant a double crossier
mar from the beginning. Yeah, yeah, and I thought you
did pretty well. You murdered Sheppey and framed Vince Dario,
and I only.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Left Janet to be taken care of. What about you?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't think you're man enough that just goes. That's
the matter, huff When you lose something, that's what you're
looking for.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Where'd you get that gun?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I lifted it off you when you were shoving Dario around.
Just say the word friend and I'll give it back
to you a slug at a time.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Well, what happened after that, Mike?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
You know the rest, Jennifer. As soon as the police
picked up Carl, I went to his apartment and picked
me up.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And not a bad day's work at then, Oh no,
I'm talking about the little bag you had with you
containing eighty grand belonging to the McGill company.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Oh what gets me is how you people knew exactly
what time the payroll was to be delivered.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Oh, I had inside information from the.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Boy who delivered it. How did you get it figured?
And what did you do? Use your feminine wilds?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
He didn't take much. He wanted to prove what a
great big man he was.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, you have that effect on the up of it takes. Yeah,
it's just too bad you had all your work for nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
I guess when you come down to what I was
pretty lucky at that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You sure worry whom. There's no doubt that with Sheppy
and Vince Dario disposed of, you were next. Don Karl's
this dirty double crossing, Hannah. No, there's no reason to
be angry.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
After all, you were in on ninety nine percent of
the flot. He just neglected to tell you the big
finish he planned for you. Oh, Wincidently, when you called
your apartment and got Hoffman on the phone, why did
you pretend it was the wrong number?
Speaker 6 (24:24):
We had it arranged. When Karl picked up the phone
and said yes, what do you want? I knew he
wasn't alone, and that was my cue to hang up.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Pretty cute, Hu.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That was the second way he convinced Dario he was
acting above board. What was the first mike hiring me?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He had to go through with the motions of trying
to find you, and what would make him look more
innocent than hiring a private detective.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I still don't see what proved you he was guilty
of the return address on.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The envelope I found in Dario's room gave your.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Name as Janet Hawsey, and Carl told me when you
were up at the women's pen. He served time under
the name of Lois's Heart, though obviously the letter was
a frame.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
And Karl was the only one who could have pled.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
You know you're pretty wonderful, honey, I mean, mister wearing.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh, I don't mind your getting affectionate. After all, we're
going to be seeing lots of each other, Janet, are
we almost past our destination?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Is this where you live?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's the matter with you? Janet? Don't you recognize the building?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
It's police headquarters.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's right, you know?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Good double cut?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Now, Now, what are you complaining about? Angel I promise
you we'd be.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Seeing a lot of each other.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Can I help with it? For the next ten years,
it'll have to be through bars,
