Speaker 2 (01:20):
Powell Diamond Detective Agency. You spent the dime you name
the crime?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh no, Hi, Helen Hi. What kind of a slogan
is that you spent the dime you name the crime?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, it only applies to people calling from phone booths.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Dear, Well, I'm not calling from a phone booths.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Then you have no right to judge the merits of
my slogan.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hmmm, this is logic.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Dear.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You worry about your millions, and I'll worry about my slogans. Oh,
how is your bulging little bank account these days?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Healthy? Which is more than I am? I have a cold?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Why you poor kid? Sure, I'll let you take me
to dinner tonight. That should make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Maybe, But you know, I seem to remember a past
generation where the men took the women to dinner. I
suppose you never heard of that arrangement.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, but it does sound novel? Shall we try it?
Love to good? I have two cents in my pocket.
Beat me in front of the corner drug store and
I'll blow you to a stick of gama. Oh rick,
On second thought, we'll split a stick of gum and
save the other penny for entertainment.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
All right, I'll take you to dinner.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, if you insist, I'll meet you in your wallet
at seven. Dere bring your own cough drops. We'll have
a wow. I do believe a living creature is wandered
into my emporium. I think I put it more elegantly,
But why quibble? See at seven? Bye bye, Diamond. That's right,
(02:54):
I'm any bake, glad to know you, mister burg eedy Bake.
That's me. You said that before? Well, well, what Diamond,
you know why I'm here. Don't Stall, Sorry, Powell, but
I can't seem to remember who you are or why
you're here? Should I what it is? It's a game.
Just hand over the package you've been paid I have. Well,
(03:18):
that's news to my bank account, Diamond. Don't get smart
with me. Where's the package?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Take it easy, Burke, Let's get something straight. If you'd
like to hire me and pay one hundred a day,
then I'll humor you and pretend to know what you're
talking about. I have loads of screwy clients. But if
you expect me to listen to your wild talk for free,
start walking. I don't think I like this. Well, that's tough. No,
I don't think I like this at all. Well that oh,
(03:45):
I'm not sure I like that gun. Then we're even,
and now no more, Stall and hand me the package,
all right? Only first you tell me where I find it. Okay, okay,
So you play it cozy, you plan the cash in
on it yourself, Eh, Burke, this is someone's idea of
a bad joke, or you're a pretty mixed up guy.
What makes you think I should have a package that
(04:05):
belongs to you? Casey got scared? Casey? Yeah, she decided
the package should be safer with a private cop. She says,
she paid you a thousand to keep it till I
came for it. Well, all I can say is that
Casey should never go near a lie detector. I never
heard of her, or you or your package. So put
that gun back in your pocket and beat it. Huh,
you're pretty cool, Diamond. Only Casey, don't lie. You open
(04:28):
the package. You know what it's worth. Pal, You're so
stand up up, Diamond, suit yourself, Diamond. I'm not gonna
kill you unless I have to glad to hear it.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I suppose you don't talk big. You'll be seeing me
again real soon. Only next time I contact you, you
won't get off so easy when you come to. If
you're smart, you'll get that package and have it waiting
for men. Keep your hands up, Hi, Burke, you're making
a big.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It isn't fun getting a face full of cold steel.
Your eyes seemed to fly back into your head, and
by the time they bounce into position again, you're not
seeing out of them. But in my business, things like
this happen so often. I go to the blood bank
once a week for refill I don't know how long
(05:30):
I was out, But when I came to, I made
the mistake of dragging myself to the wash basin and
looking in the mirror. Oh, I looked like a bad dream,
trying to qualify as a nightmare. And then I got mad.
I decided I wouldn't wait for Eddie Burke to come
and see me. I'd rather find him first. I put
(05:51):
my hat on what was left of my head, picked
up my car from the garage, and headed downtown to
the fifth Precinct and Lieutenant Walt Levinson.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Hi, fancy pants, how's it?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
What happened to your kisser? Now that's a new disguise, Walt.
I'm posing as a pound of Hamburger.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Nice work. He even got the ketcher, No kidding, Rick,
what gives.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, a guy with the name of Eddie Burke must
be a frustrated plastic surgeon.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Well he's not frustrated anymore. What caused it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Rick?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It beats me. Burke came in acted like I should
have a package that belonged to him. Maybe he thought
you were a Chinese laundry Very funny.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Don't kill yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You crack some more like that, and I might.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Come on let's get back to Burke.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, I didn't know what package he was talking about
and told him so. He thought I was lying and
want to work on my face.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Well, cheer up, it's an improvement.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
M bless your brass, buttons and head. Thank you, You're welcome. Anyway,
this was supposed to be a warning of what would
happen next time Burke contacts me.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
What's he going to do? Make weekly visits or something?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Oh no, no, nothing chubby like that. He just promised
to look me up once more for the package.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
I see what brings you down here? You come to
cry on my shoulder or fill out of the saw
charge against Burke?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Neither you sympathetic soul. You just thought you might know
something about this Burke guy. I'd like to look him
up and play some more games out bet. Well, we've
had any Burke down here a few times. I'll get
his file. Yeah, once his racket.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
He was set up on a counterfeiting rap several years ago.
Before that, he was mixed up about every Yeah, here
we are. Here's this folder. Yeah, it's a big one,
isn't name. I'm going to look at a list of
his friends, he said. A guy named Casey told him
I had the package. Casey never heard of him with
a girl by that name.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, sure, she's the lad with the bat?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
What bat?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The one she struck out with? Struck out? What are
you talking about? You remember Casey at the bat? Yeah,
but that was a man that Oh here, look at
the file. The only name you'll find connected with Burke
is Manny Warren.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Manny Warren. Oh when was Manny mixed up with Burke?
I that counterfeiting rap. They couldn't prove anything against Manny,
so we let him go.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You think he might know where Burke is now, it's.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Hard to say. Man, he's been running a big garage
over on seventy first the address there in the folder.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, well that seems to be the only lead.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Yeah, you know that package burked Loss thinks you might
have thought that was important, Eh.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Important enough to bash my head in? Why?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I'm just thinking? When Eddy was picked up, we never
found the plates he was making the phony doll fromhim.
Chances I already hit him. You think the plates might
be in the package, would be only I still can't
figure out why this Casey dam us say she gave
him to you?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
On Neither can I fat, but I'll try and find
out see you later. I drove across town and located
Manny Warren's big garage. From the looks of the place,
Manny had come a long way from his counterfeiting days
with Eddie Burke. There were several trucks inside, but just
one man, a beefy looking character, pounding out a dent
(08:56):
in one of the truck fenders. I walked over to him, say, buddy, hey, hey,
huh oh, is the boss around? That's a silly question.
I want to know.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Maybe he is, Maybe ain't. What do you want to
see him?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I'd like to hire a truck. My relatives are
coming down for a sightseeing tour. Huh oh, skip it?
Where's Manny?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
You tell me who you are. Maybe I'll tell him
your heir. Boss don't like to be interrupted all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Mm okay, okay, we'll play it your way. Tell him
Richard Diamond wants to see him.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Richard Diamond, you're a private eye.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The private black eye at the moment, snap it off.
Huh okay, Carilla on that blue car. You'd better ah. Hello, Manny,
Well Diamond, I haven't seen you around for quite some time.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I bet you've been heartsick. Yeah, what brings you down here?
Eddie Burke? Eddie? Okay, Bill, get back to work. Ye
come on in the office of Diamond, saidan I'm not
tired about Eddie. What about him? Have you seen him lately? Uh? Eh?
(10:10):
Or what I want with a punk like Eddie? You
were piles once. I'm glad you said once, Diamond. That
was seven years ago. I run a legitimate business now,
so it seems you must have made plenty off that
counterfeit money to start a place like this. Manny, just
watch yourself, Diamond. They proved Eddie was mixed up in
the queer money, not me. Skipped the small talk. You
(10:30):
know of any place Eddie might be staying as like
I say, it's been a long time since I knew Eddie.
He had a girl back then, though maybe he still
runs around with her. Was her name Casey? By any chance? Ah? Yeah,
that was it, Nancy Casey. She might be listed in
her phone book. She might be. I'll take a look anyway.
I'm sorry. That's all the help I can give you. Shamas.
You look at yeah, yeah, don't. I I'll drop around
(10:53):
again sometime, though always Glad to see a familiar face,
I left Banny's garage and headed for a phone. Both
in the book I found a listing for a miss
Nancy Casey. The address turned out to be a Rundown
apartment building on the west side, but there was nothing
run down about the girl who answered my knock. She
(11:14):
stood in the doorway with a head tilted as if
to say, what can I do for you? Only the
hard look in her eyes seemed to say, don't get ideas.
But and her mouth all it said was well, are

Speaker 8 (11:31):
Huh huh.
Speaker 9 (11:32):

in your feet? Diamond?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
My head?
Speaker 9 (13:42):
What you can't even stand straight? The big strong detective.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It was a long, peaceful sleep I kept having a
falling sensation, like I was floating down into a dark
well hole, only there was no bottom. My head fell light,
and finally, I don't know how much later, I seemed
to stop floating. My senses came back, and I remembered
(14:17):
Casey and the cup of coffee. And then I heard
the pounding. At first it sounded far away, but it
got louder. I felt something in my hands. I tried
to focus on it as the pounding continued. It was
my gun. Then I heard the voice. I looked across
(14:43):
the room, but I didn't like what I saw. Eddie
Burke was propped up in a chair, and there were
two bullet holes in his head, and chances where the
bullets had come from my gun.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Before we continue with Richard Diamond, here are a few
words about smoking enjoyment. Try the one sensible test of
cigarette mildness. Try the thirty day Camel test. Smoke only
camels for thirty days. Enjoy Camel's rich full flavor pack
after pack. Through steady smoking, the only sensible way to
(15:31):
judge a cigarette. You'll see for yourself how well camels
agree with your throat. In a coast to coast test,
hundreds of smokers with normal throats smoked only camels for
thirty days. Noted throats specialists made careful weekly examinations of
the throats of those smokers and reported not one single
case of throat irritation due to smoking camels. That's proof
(15:55):
of camel mildness, the kind of proof no other cigarette gives.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
You.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
To start your own thirty day camel test. Make camel's
your steady smoke for the next thirty days, and you'll
discover why camel is America's most popular cigarette, buy billions.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Oh mild, mild?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
How can a cigarette be Make the camel thirty night test?
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Man, You see small.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Camels and see.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And now back to Richard Diamond Private Detective starring Dick Powell.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I opened the door of Nancy Casey's apartment and admitted
Lieutenant Walt Levinson homicide. And he had good reason to
be there, for Eddie Burke was certainly a case for homicide.
I brought Wall up to date, told him about Casey
drugging me and my finding the gun in my hand.
It's a good thing, wat was my friend. He believe me.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Well, Rick, it's been quite a day. Sluggy drugging. Now
it looks like somebody's trying to frame you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But good, Yeah, what brought you here? Anyway? Wald?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Anonymous phone call? Rick, somebody went to a lot of
trouble to make it look like you killed Burke. Who
was it? Casey?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Dam Yeah, but I don't think she's in us alone?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Manny Warren?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Joel legit?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Eh?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
How do you figure him in?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
When I got here, Nancy Casey was expecting me. I
was watching her when you fixed that coffee. I didn't
see her slip in the drug. That means the drug
was already in the cup.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well what said got to do with? Oh? Oh, you
think Mandy tipped her off that you were coming over? Euh?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well, who else besides you? He's the only one who
knew I was looking for?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well, what are we waiting for? Come on, let's have
a talk.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, no, no, no, you let me do it. Wald.
You'll be busy here for a while anyway, And we
left to prove Manny did it not?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Just accuse him? Okay, Okay, you can give it a try.
Only look bright eyes until you find out why Burke
was killed and just how those characters all fit together.
You're going to be on the spot. I still have
to report it was your gun that killed Brick. Commissioner
might not be happy when he hears I let you go.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Now you hold off the commissioner wal You should be
used to that by now. I left the apartment and
drove across town back to Manny Warren's garage. But I
still couldn't figure the tie in. Nancy Casey had lied
to Burke, told him I had the package he was
looking for. Then she drugs me and Burke is killed.
(18:29):
And somewhere in this mess Manny Warren was involved. But
how I quit thinking about that as I parked in
front of the garage and went inside. Bill the beefy character,
was still the only man around. Ah, you're back again,
Either I am or you've got bad eyes. Tell Manny
I want to see him.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
He ain't. Hey says it's closing time.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Bait it now, look pal, don't beck with a run around?
Where's Manny?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
I said, you got no right coming. I have to
close some time. I got half a month. Throw you out.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You try it, scatter your half mind all over this floor.
Now where's many Warren?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
They go?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
They come me? You're choking me. Manny ain't here. Tell
you maybe it's home.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Where's home?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Now, where's home?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I don't know. I tell you maybe that's him.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Now, okay, the end of the office and answered. And
if it is Manny, ask him where he is, and
don't try anything, or I'll make you look like I feel.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Man He ain't gonna like it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'll shut up. Just answer that phone and hold the
receiver up so I can hear too.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Huh, Hello, Bill, this is Casey. Is Manny there?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
No? No, I ain't.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Well, I'll try as home then if you should come
in though, tell him I found a place I'll be
staying in for a while. I'm registered at the Carter
Hotel as Nancy Collins.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
You got that, Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well that's as good as Manny's address. Come on, bell,
Well you think you're taking me to that closet over there.
That'll keep you out of the way temporarily.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Oh dot.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I dragged Bill into the closet, locked it, and then
headed for the Carter Hotel. Nancy Casey could clear up
a lot of questions, and I was in a good
mood to play quiz master. She was in room three twelve,
and I took the elevator to the third floor. Then
I reached her room, but before I could knock, I
tried the door. It was locked. I threw my weight
against it. I tried again and the door flew open. Oh,
(20:30):
it was quite a sight. Nancy Casey was writhing on
the floor with a knife in her back. There was
an open window, and climbing out of it onto the
fire escape was Manny Warren. I scrambled after him. I
was too close, and Manny knew it. He didn't try
and run. Instead, he aimed to kick in my face
as I climbed on at the fire escape.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Diamond up, Diamond.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Manny Warren took a long trip down. I went back
into the room. Nancy Casey was in a bad way,
and I phoned for an ambulance.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Oh, it hurts time, and it hurts.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Take it easy. Honey.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Tried to kill me too. I hadn't expected that.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Why Casey, what's it all about?
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Plates? It was gone for the plates.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
All this over some stinking plates.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
The package Eddie Berg thought I had.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yeah, Eddy left it with me for safe keeping. I
turned him over to Manny. He told me we'd clean
up and leave down.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
By the time Eddie got out, only we didn't.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It came to me one of the plates.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So you lied and said you had given them to me.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
I needed time. I need a time. Talk to Manny.
He hadn't get rid.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
Of any when you came along. He told me that
drug you. He'd handle the rest. Then I came here.
I phoned him at home, told him where I was.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He didn't waste any time getting here.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Little stinking plates.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
They meant more to him than I did. Man he
didn't trust me this way. Nobody knew about the plates
but him. He didn't trust me, and in his business.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You don't trust anyone now. Oh, I better keep quiet
and life still.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Oh I got it. Talk Talking keeps my mind off
of pain.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Talk to me, Talk to me, Diamond, talk all right, Nancy,
I'll talk to you.

Yeah, hurt.
Speaker 2 (23:07):

Speaker 9 (23:13):
I never could stand.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Nancy. Well, at least it doesn't hurt anymore, doesn't kid?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Greg?
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Yes, Helen, dear you sure I can't get something to
help your.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Face, not unless you have an old gas mask. Candy

Speaker 2 (23:53):
You can't stand it, Honey, Honey, it's my.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Face when it's present for him. I wouldn't brag about that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):

chrome belt.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
I'm serious, Rick, other men need pleasant, quiet lives. They
have nice jobs, nice homes, nice wives.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh I knew this conversation was leading somewhere.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Well, while we're on the subject, I'm not safe there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I want you to hear the nicest song.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Oh no, sing it just for you.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
I might as well give up with my cold.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
You can sing louder than I can talk.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh, save but the skin of my vocal cord.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Just wait until one day you have laryngitis.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
Coward, How much do I love you? I'll tell you no, lie.
How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?
Speaker 14 (25:07):
How many times a day.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do I think of you?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
How many roses a sprinkle with you? How far would
I travel to be where you are? How far is
(25:42):
the journey from here to a star?
Speaker 14 (25:52):
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
Speaker 7 (26:06):
How deep is the ocean?
Speaker 13 (26:12):
How high.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Is this guy?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Very nice?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh thank you dear?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Only somehow that sweet song doesn't go with that battered
face of yours. It's like Frankenstein whistling, mother McCree.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh clever, clever, You know I could take my bruises
and leave.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Why don't you just snap off the lamp and then
I won't notice them?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Helen? At times you are endowed with genius.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
And have you catched my cold? Not on your life?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Then let's turn the lights back on. There. I can't stand.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Powell Diamond Detective Agency. You spent the dime you name
the crime?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh no, Hi, Helen Hi. What kind of a slogan
is that you spent the dime you name the crime?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, it only applies to people calling from phone booths.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Dear, Well, I'm not calling from a phone booths.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Then you have no right to judge the merits of
my slogan.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hmmm, this is logic.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Dear.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You worry about your millions, and I'll worry about my slogans. Oh,
how is your bulging little bank account these days?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Healthy? Which is more than I am? I have a cold?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Why you poor kid? Sure, I'll let you take me
to dinner tonight. That should make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Maybe, But you know, I seem to remember a past
generation where the men took the women to dinner. I
suppose you never heard of that arrangement.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, but it does sound novel? Shall we try it?
Love to good? I have two cents in my pocket.
Beat me in front of the corner drug store and
I'll blow you to a stick of gama. Oh rick,
On second thought, we'll split a stick of gum and
save the other penny for entertainment.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
All right, I'll take you to dinner.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, if you insist, I'll meet you in your wallet
at seven. Dere bring your own cough drops. We'll have
a wow. I do believe a living creature is wandered
into my emporium. I think I put it more elegantly,
But why quibble? See at seven? Bye bye, Diamond. That's right,
(02:54):
I'm any bake, glad to know you, mister burg eedy Bake.
That's me. You said that before? Well, well, what Diamond,
you know why I'm here. Don't Stall, Sorry, Powell, but
I can't seem to remember who you are or why
you're here? Should I what it is? It's a game.
Just hand over the package you've been paid I have. Well,
(03:18):
that's news to my bank account, Diamond. Don't get smart
with me. Where's the package?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Take it easy, Burke, Let's get something straight. If you'd
like to hire me and pay one hundred a day,
then I'll humor you and pretend to know what you're
talking about. I have loads of screwy clients. But if
you expect me to listen to your wild talk for free,
start walking. I don't think I like this. Well, that's tough. No,
I don't think I like this at all. Well that oh,
(03:45):
I'm not sure I like that gun. Then we're even,
and now no more, Stall and hand me the package,
all right? Only first you tell me where I find it. Okay, okay,
So you play it cozy, you plan the cash in
on it yourself, Eh, Burke, this is someone's idea of
a bad joke, or you're a pretty mixed up guy.
What makes you think I should have a package that
(04:05):
belongs to you? Casey got scared? Casey? Yeah, she decided
the package should be safer with a private cop. She says,
she paid you a thousand to keep it till I
came for it. Well, all I can say is that
Casey should never go near a lie detector. I never
heard of her, or you or your package. So put
that gun back in your pocket and beat it. Huh,
you're pretty cool, Diamond. Only Casey, don't lie. You open
(04:28):
the package. You know what it's worth. Pal, You're so
stand up up, Diamond, suit yourself, Diamond. I'm not gonna
kill you unless I have to glad to hear it.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I suppose you don't talk big. You'll be seeing me
again real soon. Only next time I contact you, you
won't get off so easy when you come to. If
you're smart, you'll get that package and have it waiting
for men. Keep your hands up, Hi, Burke, you're making
a big.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It isn't fun getting a face full of cold steel.
Your eyes seemed to fly back into your head, and
by the time they bounce into position again, you're not
seeing out of them. But in my business, things like
this happen so often. I go to the blood bank
once a week for refill I don't know how long
(05:30):
I was out, But when I came to, I made
the mistake of dragging myself to the wash basin and
looking in the mirror. Oh, I looked like a bad dream,
trying to qualify as a nightmare. And then I got mad.
I decided I wouldn't wait for Eddie Burke to come
and see me. I'd rather find him first. I put
(05:51):
my hat on what was left of my head, picked
up my car from the garage, and headed downtown to
the fifth Precinct and Lieutenant Walt Levinson.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Hi, fancy pants, how's it?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
What happened to your kisser? Now that's a new disguise, Walt.
I'm posing as a pound of Hamburger.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Nice work. He even got the ketcher, No kidding, Rick,
what gives.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, a guy with the name of Eddie Burke must
be a frustrated plastic surgeon.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Well he's not frustrated anymore. What caused it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Rick?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It beats me. Burke came in acted like I should
have a package that belonged to him. Maybe he thought
you were a Chinese laundry Very funny.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Don't kill yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You crack some more like that, and I might.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Come on let's get back to Burke.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, I didn't know what package he was talking about
and told him so. He thought I was lying and
want to work on my face.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Well, cheer up, it's an improvement.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
M bless your brass, buttons and head. Thank you, You're welcome. Anyway,
this was supposed to be a warning of what would
happen next time Burke contacts me.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
What's he going to do? Make weekly visits or something?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Oh no, no, nothing chubby like that. He just promised
to look me up once more for the package.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
I see what brings you down here? You come to
cry on my shoulder or fill out of the saw
charge against Burke?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Neither you sympathetic soul. You just thought you might know
something about this Burke guy. I'd like to look him
up and play some more games out bet. Well, we've
had any Burke down here a few times. I'll get
his file. Yeah, once his racket.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
He was set up on a counterfeiting rap several years ago.
Before that, he was mixed up about every Yeah, here
we are. Here's this folder. Yeah, it's a big one,
isn't name. I'm going to look at a list of
his friends, he said. A guy named Casey told him
I had the package. Casey never heard of him with
a girl by that name.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, sure, she's the lad with the bat?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
What bat?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The one she struck out with? Struck out? What are
you talking about? You remember Casey at the bat? Yeah,
but that was a man that Oh here, look at
the file. The only name you'll find connected with Burke
is Manny Warren.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Manny Warren. Oh when was Manny mixed up with Burke?
I that counterfeiting rap. They couldn't prove anything against Manny,
so we let him go.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You think he might know where Burke is now, it's.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Hard to say. Man, he's been running a big garage
over on seventy first the address there in the folder.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, well that seems to be the only lead.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Yeah, you know that package burked Loss thinks you might
have thought that was important, Eh.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Important enough to bash my head in? Why?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I'm just thinking? When Eddy was picked up, we never
found the plates he was making the phony doll fromhim.
Chances I already hit him. You think the plates might
be in the package, would be only I still can't
figure out why this Casey dam us say she gave
him to you?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
On Neither can I fat, but I'll try and find
out see you later. I drove across town and located
Manny Warren's big garage. From the looks of the place,
Manny had come a long way from his counterfeiting days
with Eddie Burke. There were several trucks inside, but just
one man, a beefy looking character, pounding out a dent
(08:56):
in one of the truck fenders. I walked over to him, say, buddy, hey, hey,
huh oh, is the boss around? That's a silly question.
I want to know.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Maybe he is, Maybe ain't. What do you want to
see him?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I'd like to hire a truck. My relatives are
coming down for a sightseeing tour. Huh oh, skip it?
Where's Manny?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
You tell me who you are. Maybe I'll tell him
your heir. Boss don't like to be interrupted all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Mm okay, okay, we'll play it your way. Tell him
Richard Diamond wants to see him.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Richard Diamond, you're a private eye.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The private black eye at the moment, snap it off.
Huh okay, Carilla on that blue car. You'd better ah. Hello, Manny,
Well Diamond, I haven't seen you around for quite some time.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I bet you've been heartsick. Yeah, what brings you down here?
Eddie Burke? Eddie? Okay, Bill, get back to work. Ye
come on in the office of Diamond, saidan I'm not
tired about Eddie. What about him? Have you seen him lately? Uh? Eh?
(10:10):
Or what I want with a punk like Eddie? You
were piles once. I'm glad you said once, Diamond. That
was seven years ago. I run a legitimate business now,
so it seems you must have made plenty off that
counterfeit money to start a place like this. Manny, just
watch yourself, Diamond. They proved Eddie was mixed up in
the queer money, not me. Skipped the small talk. You
(10:30):
know of any place Eddie might be staying as like
I say, it's been a long time since I knew Eddie.
He had a girl back then, though maybe he still
runs around with her. Was her name Casey? By any chance? Ah? Yeah,
that was it, Nancy Casey. She might be listed in
her phone book. She might be. I'll take a look anyway.
I'm sorry. That's all the help I can give you. Shamas.
You look at yeah, yeah, don't. I I'll drop around
(10:53):
again sometime, though always Glad to see a familiar face,
I left Banny's garage and headed for a phone. Both
in the book I found a listing for a miss
Nancy Casey. The address turned out to be a Rundown
apartment building on the west side, but there was nothing
run down about the girl who answered my knock. She
(11:14):
stood in the doorway with a head tilted as if
to say, what can I do for you? Only the
hard look in her eyes seemed to say, don't get ideas.
But and her mouth all it said was well, are
you Nancy Casey?
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Huh huh.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Nancy's out. I'm a roommate.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Do you expect her back soon?
Speaker 9 (11:35):
Yeah, she shouldn't be long. Who are you?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We're just a friend of hers? Mind if I come
in and wait, I guess not. Thanks.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
I was just making some coffee.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Smells good.

Sit down, I'll get you cup cream and sugar.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh, yes, thank you. Tell me. Do you U know
many of Nancy's friends of you?
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Why?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nancy and I have a mutual friend. I'd like to
get in touch with him.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Oh, here's your coffee.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Thanks. The friend's name is Eddie Burke.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Oh yeah, I heard Nancy speak of him. You coffee

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Huh yeah, yeah, fine, And Nancy talks about this Burke
guy a lot. He ever come up to see her.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Once or twice? I was always out though Nancy should
have been here before this.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You have a date with her, Oh not exactly.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
She goes out with a lot of guys.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Me.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
I like to stay home. Read a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well to each his own. Do you read a lot
only bubblegum rappers?
Speaker 9 (12:45):
I read heavy stuff, historical novels.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Good for you.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
You want some more coffee?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No, no, that's plenty. Yeh sure hot in here, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (13:01):
Real hot, it'll get hotter.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Mister diamond, Diamond, how did you know my name?
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Your picture's been in the paper. Like I say, I
read a lot. You're getting tired, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh no?
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Oh yeah. The coffee shouldn't take long. You dropped your cup,
mister Diamond. Oh you shouldn't try and get up. That
drug takes effect fast. You just tire yourself.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
You you Casey.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
That's right, I'm Nancy Casey. Find it hard to stay
in your feet? Diamond?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
My head?
Speaker 9 (13:42):
What you can't even stand straight? The big strong detective.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It was a long, peaceful sleep I kept having a
falling sensation, like I was floating down into a dark
well hole, only there was no bottom. My head fell light,
and finally, I don't know how much later, I seemed
to stop floating. My senses came back, and I remembered
(14:17):
Casey and the cup of coffee. And then I heard
the pounding. At first it sounded far away, but it
got louder. I felt something in my hands. I tried
to focus on it as the pounding continued. It was
my gun. Then I heard the voice. I looked across
(14:43):
the room, but I didn't like what I saw. Eddie
Burke was propped up in a chair, and there were
two bullet holes in his head, and chances where the
bullets had come from my gun.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Before we continue with Richard Diamond, here are a few
words about smoking enjoyment. Try the one sensible test of
cigarette mildness. Try the thirty day Camel test. Smoke only
camels for thirty days. Enjoy Camel's rich full flavor pack
after pack. Through steady smoking, the only sensible way to
(15:31):
judge a cigarette. You'll see for yourself how well camels
agree with your throat. In a coast to coast test,
hundreds of smokers with normal throats smoked only camels for
thirty days. Noted throats specialists made careful weekly examinations of
the throats of those smokers and reported not one single
case of throat irritation due to smoking camels. That's proof
(15:55):
of camel mildness, the kind of proof no other cigarette gives.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
You.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
To start your own thirty day camel test. Make camel's
your steady smoke for the next thirty days, and you'll
discover why camel is America's most popular cigarette, buy billions.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Oh mild, mild?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
How can a cigarette be Make the camel thirty night test?
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Man, You see small.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Camels and see.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And now back to Richard Diamond Private Detective starring Dick Powell.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I opened the door of Nancy Casey's apartment and admitted
Lieutenant Walt Levinson homicide. And he had good reason to
be there, for Eddie Burke was certainly a case for homicide.
I brought Wall up to date, told him about Casey
drugging me and my finding the gun in my hand.
It's a good thing, wat was my friend. He believe me.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Well, Rick, it's been quite a day. Sluggy drugging. Now
it looks like somebody's trying to frame you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But good, Yeah, what brought you here? Anyway? Wald?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Anonymous phone call? Rick, somebody went to a lot of
trouble to make it look like you killed Burke. Who
was it? Casey?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Dam Yeah, but I don't think she's in us alone?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Manny Warren?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Joel legit?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Eh?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
How do you figure him in?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
When I got here, Nancy Casey was expecting me. I
was watching her when you fixed that coffee. I didn't
see her slip in the drug. That means the drug
was already in the cup.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well what said got to do with? Oh? Oh, you
think Mandy tipped her off that you were coming over? Euh?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well, who else besides you? He's the only one who
knew I was looking for?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well, what are we waiting for? Come on, let's have
a talk.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, no, no, no, you let me do it. Wald.
You'll be busy here for a while anyway, And we
left to prove Manny did it not?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Just accuse him? Okay, Okay, you can give it a try.
Only look bright eyes until you find out why Burke
was killed and just how those characters all fit together.
You're going to be on the spot. I still have
to report it was your gun that killed Brick. Commissioner
might not be happy when he hears I let you go.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Now you hold off the commissioner wal You should be
used to that by now. I left the apartment and
drove across town back to Manny Warren's garage. But I
still couldn't figure the tie in. Nancy Casey had lied
to Burke, told him I had the package he was
looking for. Then she drugs me and Burke is killed.
(18:29):
And somewhere in this mess Manny Warren was involved. But
how I quit thinking about that as I parked in
front of the garage and went inside. Bill the beefy character,
was still the only man around. Ah, you're back again,
Either I am or you've got bad eyes. Tell Manny
I want to see him.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
He ain't. Hey says it's closing time.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Bait it now, look pal, don't beck with a run around?
Where's Manny?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
I said, you got no right coming. I have to
close some time. I got half a month. Throw you out.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You try it, scatter your half mind all over this floor.
Now where's many Warren?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
They go?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
They come me? You're choking me. Manny ain't here. Tell
you maybe it's home.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Where's home?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Now, where's home?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I don't know. I tell you maybe that's him.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Now, okay, the end of the office and answered. And
if it is Manny, ask him where he is, and
don't try anything, or I'll make you look like I feel.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Man He ain't gonna like it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'll shut up. Just answer that phone and hold the
receiver up so I can hear too.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Huh, Hello, Bill, this is Casey. Is Manny there?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
No? No, I ain't.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Well, I'll try as home then if you should come
in though, tell him I found a place I'll be
staying in for a while. I'm registered at the Carter
Hotel as Nancy Collins.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
You got that, Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well that's as good as Manny's address. Come on, bell,
Well you think you're taking me to that closet over there.
That'll keep you out of the way temporarily.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Oh dot.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I dragged Bill into the closet, locked it, and then
headed for the Carter Hotel. Nancy Casey could clear up
a lot of questions, and I was in a good
mood to play quiz master. She was in room three twelve,
and I took the elevator to the third floor. Then
I reached her room, but before I could knock, I
tried the door. It was locked. I threw my weight
against it. I tried again and the door flew open. Oh,
(20:30):
it was quite a sight. Nancy Casey was writhing on
the floor with a knife in her back. There was
an open window, and climbing out of it onto the
fire escape was Manny Warren. I scrambled after him. I
was too close, and Manny knew it. He didn't try
and run. Instead, he aimed to kick in my face
as I climbed on at the fire escape.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Diamond up, Diamond.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Manny Warren took a long trip down. I went back
into the room. Nancy Casey was in a bad way,
and I phoned for an ambulance.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Oh, it hurts time, and it hurts.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Take it easy. Honey.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Tried to kill me too. I hadn't expected that.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Why Casey, what's it all about?
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Plates? It was gone for the plates.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
All this over some stinking plates.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
The package Eddie Berg thought I had.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yeah, Eddy left it with me for safe keeping. I
turned him over to Manny. He told me we'd clean
up and leave down.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
By the time Eddie got out, only we didn't.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It came to me one of the plates.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So you lied and said you had given them to me.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
I needed time. I need a time. Talk to Manny.
He hadn't get rid.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
Of any when you came along. He told me that
drug you. He'd handle the rest. Then I came here.
I phoned him at home, told him where I was.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He didn't waste any time getting here.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Little stinking plates.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
They meant more to him than I did. Man he
didn't trust me this way. Nobody knew about the plates
but him. He didn't trust me, and in his business.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You don't trust anyone now. Oh, I better keep quiet
and life still.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Oh I got it. Talk Talking keeps my mind off
of pain.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Talk to me, Talk to me, Diamond, talk all right, Nancy,
I'll talk to you.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
You swim, Diamond, How you used to like swimming.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah, hurt.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I still.
Speaker 9 (23:13):
I never could stand.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Nancy. Well, at least it doesn't hurt anymore, doesn't kid?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Greg?
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Yes, Helen, dear you sure I can't get something to
help your.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Face, not unless you have an old gas mask. Candy
you poor boy.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
I can't stand to see you all beaten up like this.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You can't stand it, Honey, Honey, it's my.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Face when it's present for him. I wouldn't brag about that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Ah, Now that's what I like again. I'll to cheer
you up after hard day's work.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Hard day's work, pistol whipped, drugged, framed.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
What a business?
Speaker 8 (24:10):
And what do you get out of it?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Go one hundred a day in a very high Macura
chrome belt.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
I'm serious, Rick, other men need pleasant, quiet lives. They
have nice jobs, nice homes, nice wives.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh I knew this conversation was leading somewhere.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Well, while we're on the subject, I'm not safe there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I want you to hear the nicest song.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Oh no, sing it just for you.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
I might as well give up with my cold.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
You can sing louder than I can talk.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh, save but the skin of my vocal cord.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Just wait until one day you have laryngitis.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
Coward, How much do I love you? I'll tell you no, lie.
How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?
Speaker 14 (25:07):
How many times a day.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do I think of you?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
How many roses a sprinkle with you? How far would
I travel to be where you are? How far is
(25:42):
the journey from here to a star?
Speaker 14 (25:52):
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
Speaker 7 (26:06):
How deep is the ocean?
Speaker 13 (26:12):
How high.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Is this guy?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Very nice?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh thank you dear?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Only somehow that sweet song doesn't go with that battered
face of yours. It's like Frankenstein whistling, mother McCree.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh clever, clever, You know I could take my bruises
and leave.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Why don't you just snap off the lamp and then
I won't notice them?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Helen? At times you are endowed with genius.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
And have you catched my cold? Not on your life?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
