I carry my own weight, rocky.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know that. Well it complicates things when I'm sitting something.
Speaker 9 (04:52):
This has all the ear marks of a brush.

I have already. I've seen this coming for a long time.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Well, and maybe it's a good thing. We've got it settled.
Maybe it is didn't work out.

Speaker 9 (05:35):

At least it's worth a try.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hello, Michael wearing that the falcon the falcon speaking, Oh good.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
My name is Gilbert Bannister. I have a job for you, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What kind of job?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Well, some friends and I will rob last night and
we want you to find the thief.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Why did you wait till this morning to call me?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Why? I don't know? We were upset. I realized it
was foolisher. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You don't have to apologize, but you may have to
kick in with traveling expenses. If it was good pickings.
The crook is probably on his way to tim Bucktoo
by now. How much did he take?
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Sixty five thousand?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Huh? Tim bucktoo?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Here?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I come?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Well first, can you come over here to the Hotel Westland.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We'd like to talk to you, all right, Benis, I'll
be seeing you.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
So I can introduce you to the others. Mister wedding gentlemen,
here's the falcon. This is Harry Summers and Otto Friday Wearing. Well,
you told me there were four of you banisters. Yes,
that's right, Wearing. We agreed to meet here, but Dave
Cress hasn't shown up. I called his room, but he's out.
I seem well, gentlemen. I've given Wearing a brief account
(07:15):
of what happened as I remember it, but he wants
to check certain points with you.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Surely Wearing.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Anything we can do to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Help, Thanks Summers, But.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
I'm afraid there's not much we can tell you, none
of us I ever saw this man before, don't off.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right, tag, But you'd be surprised at the sort of
things that sometimes prove useful in the case like this.
What sort of things well, your head, for instance?
Speaker 7 (07:34):
My head?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, Banister told me you put up a fight and
a cloud for your trouble.
Speaker 11 (07:38):
Yeah, very foolish.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Area lies now, But I don't see what I don't
have to see. Let me see. I got quite a
lump there and a cut. Yeah, he hit me. This
is gun.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Just what are you trying to prove?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Wearing Somers, You fellows want me to find the man
who's wiped your dough. So far, Banister has given me
a description, but there are ten million people in New York.
If he stays in New York, I'll need more than
just a description. Well, how do you think this bump
on my head will help?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
You?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Think?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Maybe he left fingerprints? It just seems to me the
easiest way to find our boys, to discover which one
of you he's working with.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What do you mean now, just a minute, Wearing, are
you accusing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
While the Trust knew there was a game going on here?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, we're here for a convention.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Wearing there there are nearly always card games in the evenings.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
When I was sixty five thousand dollars in cash on
the table, well, that's true, the big game in the
crook selected this room. Still is preposterous to think that
one of us, Well, I, banister, you trying to tell
me that you boys all have complete trust in one
another more or less.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't think we'd care to accuse each other of well.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Sievery, why were you playing for cash?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Well?
Speaker 11 (08:47):
He is right, banister, he's absolutely right. We didn't trust
each other's checks. How can we trust each other's words?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That's it, fright, hang get out of here, wearing. Your
services aren't required. After all, I'm not going to have
my friends insulted, or yourself or myself.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Get out now, just a minute, matter, you keep out
of this fright tag well wearing?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All right, all right, I'm going I see I got
a little too close for comfort.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You keep your hands to yourself, banister, just had the
suit cleaned? What did you give out of the layup?
You change your mind again? You know where to find me?
So long, gentlemen, just a.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Minute, wearing, were you accusing me personally.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Look, you're too touchy, Banister. I was suspicious of all
of you. That's why I wanted to see fright Tag's head,
see if it'd really been clouded or was just faking.
Speaker 11 (09:35):
So that's why you wanted to find out if I
was really hit or just pretending.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's right, A staged fight would make a nice cover
if you were in the deal. But that blow is
a little too hard to be a phony. I'm glad
to realize that unless your confederate got a little over enthusiastic,
that could have happened too.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ah, for a moment, I was hoping you were going
to clear me. What chances are I'm going to be
able to clear all of you if you still want
me to. But you said one of us, I said,
one of your card party summers. How about the one
who wasn't here cress As Banister says, he's not in
the hotel.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yes, but he he could have gone out to breakfast, so.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
He could he could also have left town. What are
you doing now finding out? Hello, desk, please one will
get you five. He's checked out.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What will we do if he has?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Look for him? Am I still working for you.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Oh, I guess you are wearing all right?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Hello? Uh? Can you tell me if David Crest has
checked out yet?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hm? Well and they're looking it up. Hello? Yes, what's that?
You sure all right? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Has he no, Banister?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
He hasn't.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Looks like we've hired us the wrong detective. Maybe so
Summers I could have sworn Cress had skipped. I don't
know how to figure this one. Maybe that's him.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now I'll go see.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
You, Gilbert Banister, Yes, Sergeant Corr, but places the harp
on police.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Don't tell me you've been transferred to missing persons.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Uh, you would be here wearing. No, I'm not missing persons,
and if I was, I wouldn't be looking for you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Are you looking for me?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Don't make me laugh? I came up to talk to Banister.
I understand he's a friend of Dave Kress.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
As right, Sergeant? What about Chris? Has he done something
the other way around?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
What's that? Yeah, Banister, somebody pumped a couple of slugs
in him. He's dead, wearing. Why don't you toddle along?
There must be some mentally underdeveloped girl who just loved
(11:42):
to hold hands with.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You, and you know me corbett business before pleasure. I
hope you search Cress's room.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
If I find anything important, I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, But how will you know what is important unless
I'm around the point it out? Now, come on, let's
come in scram now. You don't mean that you couldn't
do without me.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
I love to try it sometime.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Come on, come on, open the door.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, remember you don't touch anything.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I wouldn't dream of this.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
It's not dreams I'm worrying about if I catch you
trying to snitch any clue, leave me call.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But you don't have a thing to worry about the
next score, I hope not. I guarantee you. I positively
guarantee you won't catch me.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Very funny anyway, I warned you any monkey business, and
I throw the book at you for obstructing justice. If
you think I'm gonna let our friendship.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Rop me, that's a new name for it, drop dead wearing. Yeah, sure, later,
right now we go.
Speaker 4 (12:34):

typed on it. Let's say that you're welcome. Get me
Plaza nine three or nine eight. Yeah, you don't believe
in wasting time do you call it? You had hurt
to check?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I want to speak to mister rock Well. He has
hey when I say, okay, thanks checked out last night,
and it fits.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
He must be the guy I'm looking for. Maybe some
merry go round. Go on a chase for cres he
winds up dead. Then widen the chase to who he
was working with. He winds up gone.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Well, if that kind of luck's gonna hang on, do
me a favor. What are you wearing? I sure was
a go chase yourself.
Speaker 9 (13:30):

adventures of the Falcon. A day has passed since Mike
discovered the probable name of the man he is hired
(14:55):
to find, and with the name to go on, he's
been checking with people who knew the fellow. He winds
up at the cashier's desk in a small downtown cafe.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Hello, hazelone, Do I know you?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
If you don't, here's your chance. My name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Can't you see him busy?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All right, go ahead and make change. I want to interfere.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Why can I find Rocky rock round?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Why ask me here?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
His girlfriend?
Speaker 9 (15:18):
Don't make me laugh? Rocky doesn't have any friends girl
or otherwise?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, if you're not his friend, You have no reason
to try to.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
Shield him, he says, I'm trying to shield him.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You won't tell me where to find him.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Why do you want him?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
If you're no friend, it shouldn't matter, it does why?
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Well, if you're gonna make trouble for him, what makes
you think that? He said I was shielding him. That
smells like trouble.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So you won't tell me where he is?
Speaker 10 (15:38):
I told you I don't know where he is, but
if I could be sure you were gonna make enough
trouble for him, I might try to find out.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, Rock, Hello there, bister, just going up to your room. Well,
I'm glad we caught you, summ Hello.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Well, shall we tell him when we decided?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I guess so, I suppose you get to it. The
suspense is boring me, Well Wearing, It's just that the
situation has changed.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Certainly, we hired you to track down an unknown thief.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
He's no longer unknown. He's whereabouts aren't tool, But.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Now that he's wanted for murder, mister Wearing, the police
will spare no effort to capture him.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No comment, Fry tag go on, Well.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
Rettailing a private detective is father expensive fifty dollars a
day plus expenses. That's no small sum.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
So we settle up and call it a day, all right, Yeah,
of course you understand wearing This in no way implies criticism.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's just it's all right, Banister Fridag made it clear,
just so we.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Understand each other. Oh, we're happy to pay for all
you've done.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I see, Well, in that case, you deserve a report.
It might be interested to know. I've found out who
Rockwell's girlfriend is so so, and I have a date
with her tonight. I'm picking her up at her apartment
at eight fifteen? Shall I keep it?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Well?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Do you think you're able to learn anything from her?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well? Summer? She's taking me to meet Rockwell, meet rock Wall. Yes,
I kidded her into thinking I was on Rockwell's side. So, chums,
do I keep my date? Or do you want to
leave it to the police?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Well wearing, we had no idea. I mean, if you're
this close, keep on by all means right, generally of.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Course, naturally? Well, thanks, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity. Now
that i'm as sense to bring home your sixty five grand,
you're willing to keep you on the payroll another fifty
bucks a word.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I'm sorry if you think we were hasty before wearing.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's just that we can't see throwing money away. That's
all you see. Well in that case, summer's next time
you play for high stakes.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Lock the door, Rocky, Hello, kid million, what are you
doing here? I've changed my plans.
Speaker 3 (17:53):

out to settle it after.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Come back here? Who are you talking to.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Maybe I'm just a gift.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Is that Hazel Gardener's apartment?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah? Hello, Corbett, is that you wearing? Uh? Huh? Do
you want to talk to Hazel?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, fancy that. How did you know I was here?
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Harry Sommers told me I had a date with the girl?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well I did it?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Seems as somebody beat me to it. She had it
going over.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Ah, she's not dead.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
All the kind of the worst for wear?
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I think it was rock? Well, but I'm not sure.
She doesn't make much sense yet. That's how come I
answered the phone.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Say if you can straighten her rock and get her
over here right away?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well overware otell Wesley, I'll meet you in Summer's room.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I want to talk to the girl and you and
the three car players.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Corbett. If they told you I was here, didn't they
tell you what I was doing here?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah? Waiting for a rock?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well that's right. Don't you want me to wait to
see if he shows up?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know, because he has.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Been murder too. That's why I want to see it.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, hello, wearing, Oh, Summer the corporate here?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Yeah, Wearing, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Come in, come in sure, come on jesus, Yeah, you
better sit right down there.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Thanks all right? Wearing got any bright ideas? But what
the case? You're supposed to be so sharp?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Corbett? You're not asking for my health?
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Yeah, I'm asking. This case doesn't make sense, so it
ought to be right down your alley. I love that
man started out nice and simple. Crests and Rockwell pull
a robbery fight over the take. Rockwell knocks off Cress
and SCRAMs. But now somebody knocks off Rockwell.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, that's not such a terrific switch, Corp.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Maybe not. But how about Banister and fry Tag?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
What about them wondering why they're not here?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
He's been wandering. They were supposed to have dinner with
Summers tonight and didn't show up. They're not in their rooms.
No one knows that they'll be back.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Wait a minute, Corbett, are you trying to.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Tell you wearing paristern fry tag of disappear? That's what
I'm trying to tell you, disappear. Miracle Web has.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
A flavor so pleasing. Miracle Web tastes so lively, so teasing.
Miracle Well only one of its kind.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Miracle Web best salad dressing you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Will find Miracle Whip is the only one of its
kind because it's a different type of salad dressing made
from a secret craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the best
qualities of old fashioned boiled dressing and fine mayonnaise, so
it's truly distinctive and delicious with a flavor millions of
folks call just exactly right.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
The one and only Miracle Whip. Oh back to the
Adventures of the fulcon. A few minutes of past and
(23:17):
Sergeant Corbett announced the banister and fright Tagger disappeared. Now
in Summer's hotel room, Corbett paces the floor while Mike
Sommers and Hazel watching.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Definitely, he wheels and faces the group.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Hell that's gardener, yes, Somers tells me your rock Well's
girl friend. That's what wearing said.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Did you know about Hazel Corbett?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Stop clothing wearing. I had routine to take care of.
How they got around to the girl. Oh sure, that's gardener. Yes,
Why did Rockwells slug you?
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Which time? Huh he's done it before?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I mean today he was angry naturally, But why what
did you say to him when today?
Speaker 9 (23:53):
When today we said lots.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Of things when he got angry nothing. He must have
said something.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
When he gets angry, he does all the talk.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I mean, before he got angry. Oh you said, never
mind what I said. Let's take it from the beginning,
when Rockwell first came into your apartment. Today, it's time
forget it. What about the murder?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Which murder rockies or cresses.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Rock Wells murder? Wearing stopped grinning.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
What about Rocky's murder?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
I don't know. I'll skip it you somers, Yes, you'll
know it. Oh what wearing? See who it is?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, sir? Oh, hello, Benniston, pastor were in places?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
If you been? Where's fry tag Fried Chang? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Probably on the same kind of goose chase I've been on.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
If he isn't here, what kind of ghost chase?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Rock Well called, why when this afternoon asked me to
meet him at a downtown hotel and said he'd return
our money?
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Why didn't you tell somebody?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I didn't dare take the chance, he insisted, nobody must know.
I didn't want to spoil my chance.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Oh you went along?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yes, kept waiting until I heard on the radio that
Rockwell had been murdered. Then I rushed back here.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
As the banister. You really expect anybody in his right
mind to swallow me on like that? Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Corbet? It makes sense to me he set in his
right mind wearing. After all, there must be some reason
why Bannister dropped out of sight. This could explain it.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
So could is killing Rockwell and hiding the money explain it? Sure?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Except he didn't do that. How do you know because
Summers didn't?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Don't ask me? Try Summers himself? How about it?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So much?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Watch them covid. You don't very up myself, Summer, You're
not going anywhere going wearing sans COVID. Suppose the flying
tackle is illegal, But then so is murdered.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
So we uh made a mistake about chres ain wearing
as banister.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
He wasn't the one that was working with Rockwell with Summers,
but something made cres suspicious of him, and he followed
Summers when he went to rock Wells for the split.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And when Summers found out Kress had discovered his secret, he.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Killed him and Rockwell was suspected of the murder, but
he had no part of it, and he came back
to prove it. He had some scheme to get the
goods on Summers, but Summers caught on and killed him.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Let me see, and uh, what made you suspect Summers?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Remember I told you I had a date with Rockwell's girlfriend. Yes, Well,
I didn't mention her name, just said she was Rockwell's girl.
But when Corbett was looking for me, some has told
him to try Hazel's.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh he did.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Uh that meant Summers knew Rockwell's girl was, so he
was connected with Rockwell.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yes, and I see wearing. But it's still hard to
believe about Summers. Seems such a nice chap. That's such
an honest face.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
We well.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That just goes to show there are some things you
can't take at their face. Very good night, Madison.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Do you like rich, delicious chocolate flavored malteds Well, you

I carry my own weight, rocky.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know that. Well it complicates things when I'm sitting something.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hello, Michael wearing that the falcon the falcon speaking, Oh good.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
My name is Gilbert Bannister. I have a job for you, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What kind of job?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Well, some friends and I will rob last night and
we want you to find the thief.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Why did you wait till this morning to call me?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Why? I don't know? We were upset. I realized it
was foolisher. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You don't have to apologize, but you may have to
kick in with traveling expenses. If it was good pickings.
The crook is probably on his way to tim Bucktoo
by now. How much did he take?
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Sixty five thousand?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Huh? Tim bucktoo?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Here?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I come?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Well first, can you come over here to the Hotel Westland.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We'd like to talk to you, all right, Benis, I'll
be seeing you.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
So I can introduce you to the others. Mister wedding gentlemen,
here's the falcon. This is Harry Summers and Otto Friday Wearing. Well,
you told me there were four of you banisters. Yes,
that's right, Wearing. We agreed to meet here, but Dave
Cress hasn't shown up. I called his room, but he's out.
I seem well, gentlemen. I've given Wearing a brief account
(07:15):
of what happened as I remember it, but he wants
to check certain points with you.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Surely Wearing.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Anything we can do to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Help, Thanks Summers, But.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
I'm afraid there's not much we can tell you, none
of us I ever saw this man before, don't off.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right, tag, But you'd be surprised at the sort of
things that sometimes prove useful in the case like this.
What sort of things well, your head, for instance?
Speaker 7 (07:34):
My head?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, Banister told me you put up a fight and
a cloud for your trouble.
Speaker 11 (07:38):
Yeah, very foolish.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Area lies now, But I don't see what I don't
have to see. Let me see. I got quite a
lump there and a cut. Yeah, he hit me. This
is gun.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Just what are you trying to prove?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Wearing Somers, You fellows want me to find the man
who's wiped your dough. So far, Banister has given me
a description, but there are ten million people in New York.
If he stays in New York, I'll need more than
just a description. Well, how do you think this bump
on my head will help?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
You?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Think?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Maybe he left fingerprints? It just seems to me the
easiest way to find our boys, to discover which one
of you he's working with.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What do you mean now, just a minute, Wearing, are
you accusing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
While the Trust knew there was a game going on here?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, we're here for a convention.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Wearing there there are nearly always card games in the evenings.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
When I was sixty five thousand dollars in cash on
the table, well, that's true, the big game in the
crook selected this room. Still is preposterous to think that
one of us, Well, I, banister, you trying to tell
me that you boys all have complete trust in one
another more or less.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't think we'd care to accuse each other of well.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Sievery, why were you playing for cash?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Well?
Speaker 11 (08:47):
He is right, banister, he's absolutely right. We didn't trust
each other's checks. How can we trust each other's words?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That's it, fright, hang get out of here, wearing. Your
services aren't required. After all, I'm not going to have
my friends insulted, or yourself or myself.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Get out now, just a minute, matter, you keep out
of this fright tag well wearing?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All right, all right, I'm going I see I got
a little too close for comfort.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You keep your hands to yourself, banister, just had the
suit cleaned? What did you give out of the layup?
You change your mind again? You know where to find me?
So long, gentlemen, just a.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Minute, wearing, were you accusing me personally.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Look, you're too touchy, Banister. I was suspicious of all
of you. That's why I wanted to see fright Tag's head,
see if it'd really been clouded or was just faking.
Speaker 11 (09:35):
So that's why you wanted to find out if I
was really hit or just pretending.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's right, A staged fight would make a nice cover
if you were in the deal. But that blow is
a little too hard to be a phony. I'm glad
to realize that unless your confederate got a little over enthusiastic,
that could have happened too.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ah, for a moment, I was hoping you were going
to clear me. What chances are I'm going to be
able to clear all of you if you still want
me to. But you said one of us, I said,
one of your card party summers. How about the one
who wasn't here cress As Banister says, he's not in
the hotel.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yes, but he he could have gone out to breakfast, so.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
He could he could also have left town. What are
you doing now finding out? Hello, desk, please one will
get you five. He's checked out.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What will we do if he has?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Look for him? Am I still working for you.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Oh, I guess you are wearing all right?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Hello? Uh? Can you tell me if David Crest has
checked out yet?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hm? Well and they're looking it up. Hello? Yes, what's that?
You sure all right? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Has he no, Banister?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
He hasn't.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Looks like we've hired us the wrong detective. Maybe so
Summers I could have sworn Cress had skipped. I don't
know how to figure this one. Maybe that's him.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now I'll go see.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
You, Gilbert Banister, Yes, Sergeant Corr, but places the harp
on police.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Don't tell me you've been transferred to missing persons.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Uh, you would be here wearing. No, I'm not missing persons,
and if I was, I wouldn't be looking for you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Are you looking for me?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Don't make me laugh? I came up to talk to Banister.
I understand he's a friend of Dave Kress.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
As right, Sergeant? What about Chris? Has he done something
the other way around?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
What's that? Yeah, Banister, somebody pumped a couple of slugs
in him. He's dead, wearing. Why don't you toddle along?
There must be some mentally underdeveloped girl who just loved
(11:42):
to hold hands with.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You, and you know me corbett business before pleasure. I
hope you search Cress's room.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
If I find anything important, I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, But how will you know what is important unless
I'm around the point it out? Now, come on, let's
come in scram now. You don't mean that you couldn't
do without me.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
I love to try it sometime.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Come on, come on, open the door.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, remember you don't touch anything.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I wouldn't dream of this.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
It's not dreams I'm worrying about if I catch you
trying to snitch any clue, leave me call.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But you don't have a thing to worry about the
next score, I hope not. I guarantee you. I positively
guarantee you won't catch me.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Very funny anyway, I warned you any monkey business, and
I throw the book at you for obstructing justice. If
you think I'm gonna let our friendship.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Rop me, that's a new name for it, drop dead wearing. Yeah, sure, later,
right now we go.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Hey, look at this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What there's a card with a name and phone number
typed on it. Let's say that you're welcome. Get me
Plaza nine three or nine eight. Yeah, you don't believe
in wasting time do you call it? You had hurt
to check?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I want to speak to mister rock Well. He has
hey when I say, okay, thanks checked out last night,

If you're no friend, it shouldn't matter, it does why?
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Well, if you're gonna make trouble for him, what makes
you think that? He said I was shielding him. That
smells like trouble.

I told you I don't know where he is, but
if I could be sure you were gonna make enough

It turns out to be on the level.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I mean, I didn't feel like wedding.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Right when I was expecting a break, Only this isn't

Speaker 9 (19:38):
I didn't hear you come back?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
He didn't answer my question?
Speaker 9 (19:41):
How long have you been here?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Don't mind? Who are you talking?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
No?
Speaker 9 (19:43):
Nobody, nobody, nothing important?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Why?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Because, like I said, I have something to settle. But
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm gonna have to go
out to settle it after.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Come back here? Who are you talking to.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Maybe I'm just a gift.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Is that Hazel Gardener's apartment?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah? Hello, Corbett, is that you wearing? Uh? Huh? Do
you want to talk to Hazel?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, fancy that. How did you know I was here?
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Harry Sommers told me I had a date with the girl?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well I did it?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Seems as somebody beat me to it. She had it
going over.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Ah, she's not dead.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
All the kind of the worst for wear?
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I think it was rock? Well, but I'm not sure.
She doesn't make much sense yet. That's how come I
answered the phone.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Say if you can straighten her rock and get her
over here right away?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well overware otell Wesley, I'll meet you in Summer's room.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I want to talk to the girl and you and
the three car players.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Corbett. If they told you I was here, didn't they
tell you what I was doing here?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah? Waiting for a rock?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well that's right. Don't you want me to wait to
see if he shows up?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know, because he has.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Been murder too. That's why I want to see it.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, hello, wearing, Oh, Summer the corporate here?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Yeah, Wearing, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Come in, come in sure, come on jesus, Yeah, you
better sit right down there.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Thanks all right? Wearing got any bright ideas? But what
the case? You're supposed to be so sharp?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Corbett? You're not asking for my health?
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Yeah, I'm asking. This case doesn't make sense, so it
ought to be right down your alley. I love that
man started out nice and simple. Crests and Rockwell pull
a robbery fight over the take. Rockwell knocks off Cress
and SCRAMs. But now somebody knocks off Rockwell.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, that's not such a terrific switch, Corp.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Maybe not. But how about Banister and fry Tag?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
What about them wondering why they're not here?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
He's been wandering. They were supposed to have dinner with
Summers tonight and didn't show up. They're not in their rooms.
No one knows that they'll be back.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Wait a minute, Corbett, are you trying to.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Tell you wearing paristern fry tag of disappear? That's what
I'm trying to tell you, disappear. Miracle Web has.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
A flavor so pleasing. Miracle Web tastes so lively, so teasing.
Miracle Well only one of its kind.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Miracle Web best salad dressing you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Will find Miracle Whip is the only one of its
kind because it's a different type of salad dressing made
from a secret craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the best
qualities of old fashioned boiled dressing and fine mayonnaise, so
it's truly distinctive and delicious with a flavor millions of
folks call just exactly right.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
The one and only Miracle Whip. Oh back to the
Adventures of the fulcon. A few minutes of past and
(23:17):
Sergeant Corbett announced the banister and fright Tagger disappeared. Now
in Summer's hotel room, Corbett paces the floor while Mike
Sommers and Hazel watching.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Definitely, he wheels and faces the group.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Hell that's gardener, yes, Somers tells me your rock Well's
girl friend. That's what wearing said.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Did you know about Hazel Corbett?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Stop clothing wearing. I had routine to take care of.
How they got around to the girl. Oh sure, that's gardener. Yes,
Why did Rockwells slug you?
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Which time? Huh he's done it before?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I mean today he was angry naturally, But why what
did you say to him when today?
Speaker 9 (23:53):
When today we said lots.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Of things when he got angry nothing. He must have
said something.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
When he gets angry, he does all the talk.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I mean, before he got angry. Oh you said, never
mind what I said. Let's take it from the beginning,
when Rockwell first came into your apartment. Today, it's time
forget it. What about the murder?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Which murder rockies or cresses.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Rock Wells murder? Wearing stopped grinning.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
What about Rocky's murder?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
I don't know. I'll skip it you somers, Yes, you'll
know it. Oh what wearing? See who it is?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, sir? Oh, hello, Benniston, pastor were in places?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
If you been? Where's fry tag Fried Chang? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Probably on the same kind of goose chase I've been on.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
If he isn't here, what kind of ghost chase?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Rock Well called, why when this afternoon asked me to
meet him at a downtown hotel and said he'd return
our money?
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Why didn't you tell somebody?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I didn't dare take the chance, he insisted, nobody must know.
I didn't want to spoil my chance.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Oh you went along?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yes, kept waiting until I heard on the radio that
Rockwell had been murdered. Then I rushed back here.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
As the banister. You really expect anybody in his right
mind to swallow me on like that? Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Corbet? It makes sense to me he set in his
right mind wearing. After all, there must be some reason
why Bannister dropped out of sight. This could explain it.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
So could is killing Rockwell and hiding the money explain it? Sure?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Except he didn't do that. How do you know because
Summers didn't?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Don't ask me? Try Summers himself? How about it?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So much?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Watch them covid. You don't very up myself, Summer, You're
not going anywhere going wearing sans COVID. Suppose the flying
tackle is illegal, But then so is murdered.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
So we uh made a mistake about chres ain wearing
as banister.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
He wasn't the one that was working with Rockwell with Summers,
but something made cres suspicious of him, and he followed
Summers when he went to rock Wells for the split.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And when Summers found out Kress had discovered his secret, he.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Killed him and Rockwell was suspected of the murder, but
he had no part of it, and he came back
to prove it. He had some scheme to get the
goods on Summers, but Summers caught on and killed him.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Let me see, and uh, what made you suspect Summers?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Remember I told you I had a date with Rockwell's girlfriend. Yes, Well,
I didn't mention her name, just said she was Rockwell's girl.
But when Corbett was looking for me, some has told
him to try Hazel's.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh he did.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Uh that meant Summers knew Rockwell's girl was, so he
was connected with Rockwell.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yes, and I see wearing. But it's still hard to
believe about Summers. Seems such a nice chap. That's such
an honest face.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
We well.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That just goes to show there are some things you
can't take at their face. Very good night, Madison.
