Speaker 1 (00:03):
Alone. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking, Oh Masha, and
I'm glad you called. Now you'll have to call me
out tonight. Angel, I'm gonna be entertained by some comic
and when this boy makes with the gags, he really slaves.
This is then urly he friends in finding you on
(00:24):
behalf of the Craft Foods Company to listen to the
Adventures of the Falcon starring Lestamon. You met the Falcon
first in his best selling novels, then you saw him
in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join him on
the air when the falconsuls the case of the Practical Choker.
(00:52):
Before we join the Falcon for his latest adventure, I'd
like to tell you about nine of the handiest little
menu helpers you ever had in your kitchen. They're the
nine famous Craft cheese spreads, and they really are handy
for making snacks and sandwiches, salad toppings, and appetizers. All
of the Craft cheese spreads, the mild tasting ones and
the sharp tasting ones too, are delicious, and they're all
(01:15):
the very finest quality because they're made by Craft. So
tomorrow get several of the nine famous cheese spreads made
by Craft.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Now the case of the Practical Choker.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It is Sunday afternoon in New York, and in a
parked car outside the Club ninety one, a bad actor
named Chuck Morgan and a plond named Linda Stewart are
rehearsing a new comedy routine. And although mister Morgan's ideas
of humor may be overdeveloped, still he obviously believes this
act should kill his customer. Now I understand which is
supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Linda too, sure, mister Morgan, what's.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The matter with you? Anyway? Your agent told me you
were a hep name.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Look, mister Morgan, I don't need a job that badly,
all right.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm sorry, baby, I didn't mean that. You see, I
want to play a joke on this guy, and I
want to make sure that it goes off with schedule.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, the more I hear this joke, the less I
like it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I told you there's nothing to worry about. This fellow's
a good friend of.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Mine, And why do something as silly as this.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Just to settle a bet. He thinks he's a great
little guy with the ladies, and I bet him fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He was wrong, But you promised me one hundred dollars
for this job. How can you come out ahead?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You don't understand, Linda. It's not the money, it's the
principle of this thing. I just want to make a
sucker out of Davis David. Yeah, his name is Red Davis.
He's a thin little guy with red hair and pop eyes.
You won't have any trouble spoting, and he owns the
joint and he'll be in the corner booth.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
But suppose your friend doesn't show any interest in me.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You haven't taken a good look at yourself in the
mirror lately, have you?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, I'm not at all worried.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
When Red sees you, he'll start baying at the moon.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But at the beginning, you want me to act him
felt it?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's right, that's he won't become suspicious. Then thaw out
and let him buy you a couple of drinks. And
after that, well he'll probably wanna take you out for
the evening. So uh, you tell him that first you
have to make a stop at your apartment.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't think I like that, mister Morgan.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What's them up to? Life? This is on the up
and up. When you get to your place, I'll be
waiting for.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You, and that's where you're gonna tell mister Davis it's
just a joke, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I can hardly wait to see Red when he learns
it's a gag. I bet he'll practically die laughing. Hey, hey,
where do you live anyway?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Landa, It's just the next floor, mister Davis.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I cut it out. I promise you were gonna call
me Red.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Red.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Do you know a man name?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Man named Hoe?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Forget it?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, I don't gets you'll thend that. When I
first saw you in the club, I immediately said to myself,
now there's a dame with class. I was surprised when
you gave me a tumble.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't often do things like that.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It was a nymphose. Eh yeah, I understand. I get
them all the time. Where do we go? Now?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It's this apartment here ahead, let me help you so
I can manage.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Come in.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Thanks. Ay, a nice layout you got here, Lindy. I
think I'm gonna like this. I wouldn't bet on that,
Red Morgan.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Then you do know each other?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Dirty? Little double cross?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
He told me was a joke.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The joke's over now, honey, you competed. If you're a
smart girl, you'll keep your trap clothes. Now go on,
listen more. I got up. I don't want any conversation
from you, Redd, I just want my dough.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
What don't play dumb?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
The sixty grand you own me on the Robinson point?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh that?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well do you think I was talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You see, I'm kind of loud, shuck. I've been running
a tough luck. Now on, it's gonna get worse. You know,
all the boys are laughing at me for letting you
hang me up. A man in my position can't afford that.
It might give other people ideas. Look, Morgan, suppose I
pay you a little at a time. How do you
call a little? Well, give you ten grand now in
the balance to take your hands up. I was just
reaching for my wallet. You got that dough on you? Yeah, okay,
(05:28):
let's have it for sure. I was gonna give it
to you all the time, all right, Morgan, But I'm
up put the way they're gonna do this act your age. Well,
mister Morgan, who's the joke?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Gun?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I guess it's me and you're not chicking. That's okay, Red,
I'll see you again, and I lay yards. Next time,
you won't be this lucky. I get the lions because
(06:09):
you'll enjoy it. After Chuck Morgan goes to all that trouble,
Red pulls the gun and leaves Chuck with his tongue
hanging out.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Well, that's very amusing, Hudson. What happened after that?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Morgan started looking for him again?
Speaker 7 (06:23):
And what do you think will happen if he finds
him this time?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The same thing?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
You don't believe Morgan would kill him?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, Morgan's old sort, you think so? I know so
I would last as long as a private dick if
I wasn't a good judge of character.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right now, take it from me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Nothing's gonna happen to Red. Well, that's too bad, Hudson.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
It would be worth a lot of money to me
if something did.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Eh, how much is a lot of money? What's the difference?
Speaker 7 (06:51):
You're not interested? Try me twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're right at that price, I'm not interested.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
What isn't worth more? Everybody knows that Morgan has threatened Davis,
so you run absolutely no risk.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What have you got against Red anyway?
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Well, that's none of your business. Either you want the
job or you don't.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Well, as long as you put it in that basis,
mister Lyons, let me think.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
It though, love, Let you want good evening?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh, Victim, this is Radney. I met up both at
the corner of Madison and forty six. Anybody been around
and joint asking for me? Why'd you tell him that
I had not heard from you all day? Good Norman, Dame,
My wife's stupid.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Oh no, no, no, missus Davis.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well when she gets that, cut that out?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Some characters in a hurry to use the phone? Hold
of this second? Did I take care of this past? I?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Listen you?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
How would you like a good.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
What are you wearing?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
What to cut the door? Listen Morgan, just keep your
hands right? But the what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Chuck?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Red Davis was knocked off a couple of hours ago.
That still doesn't answer my question. I don't see why
not one the cops think I did it too. You
can prove I didn't. Now does it add up not
to my liking? You better get somebody else that isn't wearing.
Maybe I haven't handled this right, But I didn't kill Red?
And why don't you tell that to the police. You
don't think for a minute they believe me? Was I
told you? I don't either. Look, Mike, I know you
don't like me, but give me credit for a little intelligence.
(09:02):
If I was gonna knock off Davis, would I shoot
my mouth off all o the time? So I tell
you I didn't kill him?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Oh Dad, I've got no idea. Okay, Morgan, I'll see
what I can do for you. First, I want you
to surrender to the cops. Oh all right, I think
that's no deal. I'll wait a minute, Mike. I'll make
you a proposition. I'm not interested, but Pete's say, give
me a chance, would you. I'm convinced that, with any luck,
you can clean this up in a couple of hours.
If you haven't by then I'll give myself up. What
do you do in the meantime, I'll stay right here.
(09:28):
Wants to prevent me from walking out and calling the police? Nothing?
Oh you just trust me. I don't have any other choice.
What do you say, Mike? This is against my better judgment, Morgan,
but you got yourself a boy.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
This is it Hurley here again?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Friends, this time of year, especially everybody longs for something
just a little bit different to pep up tired winter menus,
So this idea for a tempting salad may be just
what you want.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It's an easy salad to make.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You just take a good sized green pepper, scoop out
the center and stuff the pepper with Crafts delicious olive
pimento cheese spread. Then chill, slice into pin wheels and
serve each slice on a crispy lettuce leaf.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
M Ah, what wonderfully.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Kraft Olive Pimento is an extra delicious cheese spread filled
with juicy bits of red pimentos and fine green olives.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And like all nine of.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
The good eating Kraft cheese spreads, it's a wholesome dairy
food made from only the finest, purest ingredients and smooth.
It's smooth as satin spreads perfectly for sandwiches and snacks.
Try smokel and Kraft Cheese and Bacon spread and all
of the nine Kraft cheese spreads. Look for them in gay,
(10:51):
colorful tulip designed drinking glasses. Collect a whole set. While
you're enjoying these delicious spreads, you know Kraft cheese spreads
are so delicious, they are America's favorites, so be sure
you get that cheese spreads made by Craft. Now back
(11:13):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes have passed
since Mike Wearing agreed to go to work for Chuck Morgan,
and now as we find Mike, he's about to earn
his fee. Yes, Missus Norman Davis, that's right. My name
is Mike Wearing. I'm sorry to bother you at a
(11:35):
time like this, but I'd like to ask you some
questions about your husband.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But I've told the police everything I know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, I'm working on a different angle.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Come in, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What do you want to know, Missus Davis? Have you
any ideas who might have killed men? If Chuck Morgan,
I mean, besides Morgan.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
No, Red didn't have an enemy in the world.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Now you know that's not true, Missus Davis. Your husband
wasn't exactly the most popular citizen in New York.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
How dare you say that to me? Well, I won't
have you talked that way about him.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I'm tired of these insinuations.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
How do you know what kind of man Paul was?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, I'm sorry, you're sorry, go on, get out, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Look, I don't want to hear any more about it.
Now leave me alone.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Let me to congratulate you, missus Davis.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That was a marvelous performance.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Why thank you, miss Lyon. You think I convinced him?
I was a broken hearted widow.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
How could you help it when you practically convinced me?
Come here, darling and let me console you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Just the second.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, I'm looking for a guy named Larry Hudson. Well
look low further, mister Morgan Hugh Hudson. That's right. One
of my friends told me you wanted to see me.
It's held. You're right, Yeah, for a drink. Yeah, I
can stand one. Help yourself. Bars in the corner, call
me one while you're at it. You're in a bad spot, chuck.
You bring me up here to tell me that? Yeah? Yeah,
(13:22):
you see I know who killed Red Davis.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What you heard me? Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
That was mine?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah? Thanks? Say yeah, how you fixed the cash put
him in? Well, I got a lot of information to sell.
It's going to the highest bidder. You mean you can
clean me. I'm not doing any more talking until I
see the color of your dough. I don't know you
got much in that. I'll give you a sample. Did
you know that Davis's wife was too timing the monk
with whom I don't know. That's all you get free,
(13:50):
But you can use this kind of stuff, can't you listen? Hudson?
I want you to talk to Wearing. Mike Wearing the
falk and he's working for me. You kid, No, we
have talked to him. Sure, providing like you make a buck,
I'll take care of you. I'm going back to Wearing's apartment.
I want you to call him in about fifteen minutes.
I'll be sitting right here at the phone. Tell him
what you told me about missus Davis. Oh no, no,
(14:10):
get the dough up first. I look, Hudson, I only
got a grand on me. I'll give you another four
the next time I see you. H Oh, Jay Morgan,
you got yourself a deal, Morgan jack O. Hello, desk is,
(14:39):
mister Warring. There was a man waiting in my apartment.
By any chance? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Come in?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
How am I just asking for you? Morgan? What the
devil have you? Ben? That tells me a lot. I
thought you agreed to stay right here. I know, but
I had to see somebody. Oh suppose you tell me
what you find out first, well, not very much. Every
lead I expe lord came back to you. You see
missus Davis just a few minutes. What'd you think of it?
She seemed all broken up over her husband's murder. She
was kidding in What makes you think so? Because I've
(15:08):
been doing a little checking on my own. She's been
holding hands with some guy who wasn't her husband. Where'd
you get that from? Private dick named Larry Hudson?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That lion.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I don't care what he is, Mike, he's got the
evidence to clear me. What did he say killed Davis?
He wouldn't tell me, but I made him promise to
talk to you. We should be calling you any minute. Listen, Morgan,
I wouldn't trust that guy in a stack of bibles.
What'd you give him?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Give him?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yes, a guy like Hudson doesn't talk for free. How
much you promise him? Five grand? And you better save
your money.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But I tell you he can clear me.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Hey, that's probably him. Now, hello, that you're wearing that's right, Hudson?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I take it. Then you've talked to Morgan?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, Well what.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do you think?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
What I think is unimportant? Morgan tells me you can
clear him.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Sure for a price for.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
My part of my interest. You got to talk to him, Mike.
I don't like it, Morgan, but if this guy can
save mine.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Don't make up your minds. Boys, they ain't got all week.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, Hudson will be over in an hour.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Over here, Mike. Look, I want you to let me
handle Hudson and keep your mouth shut. You're the doctor.
Let's keeping it. I don't know. Maybe why not? I
doubt it. How can you tell? Take a peek at
that keyhole? I can't see a thing. Sure, because the
(16:31):
key is still in the lock. It means Hudson has
got to be in there. Hey, Hotson, open up, hot Son?
All right, Morgan, give me a hand.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Break it down? Shouldn't take too much effort. Come on,
let's go ide one more?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Should even hot sun? Hot Son?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Where the devil is a light switch?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It ought to be somewhere around the door.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And watch yourself, Morgan, where do I strike a match?
I gotta here we are? Yeah, don't touch him? Was
he dead? You the better asleep? With that knife and him?
What do you think? End me the phone? I gotta
call the cops. A nice pace of work, Mike, A
(17:26):
very nice pace of work. All right, Morgan, let's go.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I hold at core.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But he's not the reason I called you. I know,
but I'm not complaining. I told you not to call him, Mike.
Care I'm beginning to think you're right, Morgan, for the
same dime, I could have phoned someone with brains. What
kind of a crack is that? In case you hadn't noticed, Sergeant,
that's a body in that chair. It'll keep. But as
long as you raised the point, why did you kill him? Morgan?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You crazy? I just got here with wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Don't hand me that. It's the truth, Corbet, So you're
gonna be his alibi? Yep, you better listen to me
unless you want to look like a jerk. When we
get the headquarters. How long would you say Hudson was dead? Yeah,
not too long, body's still warm. It would be anywhere
from fifteen minutes to three quarters of an hour. And
that lets Morgan, I don't say how, because he was
with me every minute from the time I got Hudson's
(18:11):
call to the time we broke down the door, and
the whole business took at least an hour. Your word's
not good enough, Mike. Okay, sergeant, if you don't believe me,
you can check what the switchboard is my place and
the door man downstairs. And if that's not enough, I'll
dig up the hackey it drove us over. That still
doesn't mean Morgan couldn't have killed Red Davis. Come on,
use your head, sergeant. You know both these murders were
committed about the same party. Hudson knew who it was,
(18:32):
That's why he was killed. I still say it was Morgan. Yeah,
crazy Hudson was going to clear me. Quiet Morgan, all right, sergeant,
I'll advise him to confess if you can show me
one thing, right, how did he get in here? You
can see the only door was locked from the inside,
so why he could have used the window? We'll take
a look bars on him. That's right, And no one
(18:56):
but a midget could fit through the opening, and there
must be an out of the door, And forget it, there
wasn't that. It was a physical impossibility for anyone to
have killed Hudson. Yet it was done. How I can't
tell you, but maybe I can take you to the
little lady who can.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Shall we go.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Listen, Mike, if the DA ever finds out, I let
Morgan go.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He'll have wad about that.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Huh. Isn't this where Red Davis lived? That's right, sergeant.
Well you can't bother his wife. Now, why not because
her husband was just murdered. Well, she may surprise you
with what she knows about it. Morgan told me that
she was being romance by some character.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't know the priority needed? Did read if you
ask me? Sergeant? Yes, hello, missus Davis remember me.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Not too pleasantly?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
May we come in?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I'm sorry, mister Waring, I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh well, this gentleman would like to ask you a
couple of questions.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
This gentleman means nothing in my young life.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, you never can tell. He's a sergeant the New
York Police Department's Homicide Division.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Oh well, well, it's just that the houses is in
such a mess.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well, we promise not to stare. Who was it, Norma?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Norma? I think you're being paid Dangel.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
It's nothing, Raymond.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, for a moment, Darling, I was, oh, hello, mister
liars Raymond.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Listen, Sergeant, I can explain everything.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Sure, but suppose we do it downtown?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Downtown?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
This is customary, Missus Davids, when the police are questioning suspects.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But we did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Nothing but murder your husband and the man named Larry Hudson.
That's a lie you and I that you and Lines
are busy in the romance department behind your husband's back. Yes,
what's Lions doing here?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
He's just helping me like you helped you murder Hudson.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
No or just a moment, Wearing, I thought this gentleman
was the officer.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Of the law. You're right, Lions, but if you think
my questions are gonna be less embarrassing, you're in for
a bad shock. Larry Hudson was murdered at ten forty
five tonight. Where were you at that time? I was
with Normal, that's right now. That's what I call a
wonderful alibi. Sergeant, too bad. There wasn'tny one else around
the substantiated Oh.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
But there was mister Waring, a Justice of the peace
named Smith over in Jersey. I think he might recall us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Why should he?
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Because I gave him a hundred dollars to perform the
marriage ceremony that made Norma here, Missus Lyons. I guess
he should remember that, don't you.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
This is ed hurling he again, friends, and I'd like
to help you find out about the nine most delicious
cheese spread you'd ever water taste. They're the nine famous
cheese spreads made by Kraft. They're delightfully mild tasting ones
such as Kraft Pineapple cheese Spread, Craft Olive Pimento, and
Craft Relish. And there are sharp tasting ones too, like
(21:56):
Broca smokel and Kraft.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Limburger cheese bread.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
All of them are mighty good to eat, and they're
good for you to eat too, because they're wholesome dairy
foods made from only the finest ingredients for quick, easy
snacks and sandwiches. Keep your refrigerator stocked with several of
the nine delicious Craft cheese spreads. Now back to the
(22:25):
Adventures of the Falcon. A half hour has passed since
Norman Davis and Raymond Lyons punctured Mike's theory by coming
up with an unbreakable alibi, and now as Mike drives
home with Sergeant Corbett, he still refuses to accept the ompius.
Doesn't make sense, Corbett, I tell you it doesn't make sense.
Will you watch while you're driving something screwy about that marriage.
(22:48):
You saw the license. It doesn't strike you as strange.
And within twelve hours after your husband has murdered, Missus
Davis marries another man. Of course it there's no law
against it. But an alibi like that must have a
hole in it. Show me where you after you do that.
Show me how either Missus Davis or Lions could have
murdered Hudson with a physical impossibility for Morgan to kill him.
It applies to them, toe or hold everything. What's the matter?
(23:12):
What a chump? I've been well, I say, Confashion, that's
good for the Saul. I tell you I've got the
answer to the whole thing. Sergeant, is that on the level? Yes,
I know now who killed Hudson, and with the help
of Chuck Morgan, I'm gonna prove it. You're driving at Mike.
(23:33):
I don't know anything about Missus Davis except what I
told you before. Well, how did you discover she was
seeing Raymond Lyons? I didn't know what it was Lions.
All Hudson told me was that it was some man.
How well did you know Hudson idmt him for the
first time today he got in touch with one of
my friends and said he wanted to see me. Well,
that puts us right back when we started. Look, Mike,
why don't we drop the whole business. You'd like that,
wouldn't you. Well, sure the cops know now that I
(23:56):
couldn't have killed Hudson. That's where you're wrong. You mean
they still know. They don't, but I do. What are
you babbling about, Morgan? I know how you manage it,
do you. Yes, it's pretty clever. I can't blame myself
and not seeing it sooner. I wonder you insisted I
go up and see Hudson. I'm still waiting to hear
you explain how I killed him, and I'm saving that
for the car. Don't kid yourself, Mike. You've done all
(24:17):
the talking. You're going to all right. Put away with
a gun, Morgan. You only gotta be sucker enough to
come here alone. Funny, I don't see anyone around. You're
not lucking in the right places, Mike. I'm warning a Morgan,
you better throw your gun in the middle of the
road you want it much at Mike. He may be
acting now with that hole in his forehead call, but
(24:38):
that doesn't call for much ability. I think you better
phone the corner. You drop me over the corner. So well,
it's been great all at Mike, aren't you forgetting something?
I've got a report to make. Who's stopping you are? Oh? Well,
(25:03):
you know that Morgan killed Red Davis. Sure, I was
the first one to say so. You should have stuck
to your guns. Well, when you tossed in that razzle
dazzle about Hudson's murder, you throw me and well, don't
feel too badly about it. I was right with you,
of course, I'm reconstructing now. But this is what must
have happened. Lions tried to hire Hudson to bump Red.
Hudson said he'd think it over. When Red was killed,
(25:25):
Hudson knw immediately that if he hadn't done it, Morgan
must have. I don't see how that follows. It could
have been lines if Lions were willing to do the job,
why did he approach Hudson in the first place. It
had to be Morgan, And when Hudson realized that, he
tried to shake down Morgan even told Morgan, if the
price were right, he might be induced to frame Red's wife.
So Morgan played along with him and asked him to
(25:47):
get in touch with me. Mmm, how we're coming to
the part I want to hear? But when Chuck went
to meet Hudson, he knew it would be the first
of many such meetings unless he took steps, So he
slipped a slow acting drug into Hudson's drink. Right, didn't
they kill him then and there and be done with it?
Because he needed an alibi and I was it And
I don't get it. He needed someone with him while
(26:07):
he murdered Hudson.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What sure?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Remember you said it was a physical impossibility for anyone
to get into that room and kill Hudson before Morgan
and I broke down the door. Yeah, well there you
hit the nail right on the head. It was a
physical impossibility. So it means that Hudson was killed while
I was in the room. Let me get this straight.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
You.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Meanwhile, you were hunting for the lights. Wa Morgan was
hunting for place to plant his knife. Wasn't he taking
quite a chance there? Oh? Hudson was drugs, so he
couldn't make an outcry and the knife makes no noise
at all. M Now, I don't learn you the next
time I say something, lessen. I told you Morgan was
the killer all along. Well, you'll have to forgive me.
(26:45):
I've been hearing so many radio shows I forgot it
wasn't unconstitutional for a cop to do right. Let's hope
this establishes some sort of a precedent. Good night, Sogeant.
It's wonderful as a spread, delicious as a seasoning, superb
(27:05):
as a flavor shortening. It's Park Margarine, that marvelous all
purpose modarin made by Craft. Yes, millions prefer Park to
any of the spread, seasoning or shortening for one big reason.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Now the case of the Practical Choker.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It is Sunday afternoon in New York, and in a
parked car outside the Club ninety one, a bad actor
named Chuck Morgan and a plond named Linda Stewart are
rehearsing a new comedy routine. And although mister Morgan's ideas
of humor may be overdeveloped, still he obviously believes this
act should kill his customer. Now I understand which is
supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Linda too, sure, mister Morgan, what's.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The matter with you? Anyway? Your agent told me you
were a hep name.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Look, mister Morgan, I don't need a job that badly,
all right.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm sorry, baby, I didn't mean that. You see, I
want to play a joke on this guy, and I
want to make sure that it goes off with schedule.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, the more I hear this joke, the less I
like it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I told you there's nothing to worry about. This fellow's
a good friend of.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Mine, And why do something as silly as this.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Just to settle a bet. He thinks he's a great
little guy with the ladies, and I bet him fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He was wrong, But you promised me one hundred dollars
for this job. How can you come out ahead?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You don't understand, Linda. It's not the money, it's the
principle of this thing. I just want to make a
sucker out of Davis David. Yeah, his name is Red Davis.
He's a thin little guy with red hair and pop eyes.
You won't have any trouble spoting, and he owns the
joint and he'll be in the corner booth.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
But suppose your friend doesn't show any interest in me.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You haven't taken a good look at yourself in the
mirror lately, have you?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, I'm not at all worried.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
When Red sees you, he'll start baying at the moon.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But at the beginning, you want me to act him
felt it?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's right, that's he won't become suspicious. Then thaw out
and let him buy you a couple of drinks. And
after that, well he'll probably wanna take you out for
the evening. So uh, you tell him that first you
have to make a stop at your apartment.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't think I like that, mister Morgan.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What's them up to? Life? This is on the up
and up. When you get to your place, I'll be
waiting for.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You, and that's where you're gonna tell mister Davis it's
just a joke, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I can hardly wait to see Red when he learns
it's a gag. I bet he'll practically die laughing. Hey, hey,
where do you live anyway?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Landa, It's just the next floor, mister Davis.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I cut it out. I promise you were gonna call
me Red.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Red.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Do you know a man name?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Man named Hoe?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Forget it?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, I don't gets you'll thend that. When I
first saw you in the club, I immediately said to myself,
now there's a dame with class. I was surprised when
you gave me a tumble.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't often do things like that.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It was a nymphose. Eh yeah, I understand. I get
them all the time. Where do we go? Now?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It's this apartment here ahead, let me help you so
I can manage.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Come in.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Thanks. Ay, a nice layout you got here, Lindy. I
think I'm gonna like this. I wouldn't bet on that,
Red Morgan.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Then you do know each other?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Dirty? Little double cross?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
He told me was a joke.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The joke's over now, honey, you competed. If you're a
smart girl, you'll keep your trap clothes. Now go on,
listen more. I got up. I don't want any conversation
from you, Redd, I just want my dough.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
What don't play dumb?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
The sixty grand you own me on the Robinson point?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh that?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well do you think I was talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You see, I'm kind of loud, shuck. I've been running
a tough luck. Now on, it's gonna get worse. You know,
all the boys are laughing at me for letting you
hang me up. A man in my position can't afford that.
It might give other people ideas. Look, Morgan, suppose I
pay you a little at a time. How do you
call a little? Well, give you ten grand now in
the balance to take your hands up. I was just
reaching for my wallet. You got that dough on you? Yeah, okay,
(05:28):
let's have it for sure. I was gonna give it
to you all the time, all right, Morgan, But I'm
up put the way they're gonna do this act your age. Well,
mister Morgan, who's the joke?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Gun?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I guess it's me and you're not chicking. That's okay, Red,
I'll see you again, and I lay yards. Next time,
you won't be this lucky. I get the lions because
(06:09):
you'll enjoy it. After Chuck Morgan goes to all that trouble,
Red pulls the gun and leaves Chuck with his tongue
hanging out.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Well, that's very amusing, Hudson. What happened after that?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Morgan started looking for him again?
Speaker 7 (06:23):
And what do you think will happen if he finds
him this time?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The same thing?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
You don't believe Morgan would kill him?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, Morgan's old sort, you think so? I know so
I would last as long as a private dick if
I wasn't a good judge of character.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right now, take it from me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Nothing's gonna happen to Red. Well, that's too bad, Hudson.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
It would be worth a lot of money to me
if something did.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Eh, how much is a lot of money? What's the difference?
Speaker 7 (06:51):
You're not interested? Try me twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're right at that price, I'm not interested.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
What isn't worth more? Everybody knows that Morgan has threatened Davis,
so you run absolutely no risk.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What have you got against Red anyway?
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Well, that's none of your business. Either you want the
job or you don't.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Well, as long as you put it in that basis,
mister Lyons, let me think.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
It though, love, Let you want good evening?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh, Victim, this is Radney. I met up both at
the corner of Madison and forty six. Anybody been around
and joint asking for me? Why'd you tell him that
I had not heard from you all day? Good Norman, Dame,
My wife's stupid.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Oh no, no, no, missus Davis.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well when she gets that, cut that out?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Some characters in a hurry to use the phone? Hold
of this second? Did I take care of this past? I?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Listen you?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
How would you like a good.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
What are you wearing?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
What to cut the door? Listen Morgan, just keep your
hands right? But the what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Chuck?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Red Davis was knocked off a couple of hours ago.
That still doesn't answer my question. I don't see why
not one the cops think I did it too. You
can prove I didn't. Now does it add up not
to my liking? You better get somebody else that isn't wearing.
Maybe I haven't handled this right, But I didn't kill Red?
And why don't you tell that to the police. You
don't think for a minute they believe me? Was I
told you? I don't either. Look, Mike, I know you
don't like me, but give me credit for a little intelligence.
(09:02):
If I was gonna knock off Davis, would I shoot
my mouth off all o the time? So I tell
you I didn't kill him?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Oh Dad, I've got no idea. Okay, Morgan, I'll see
what I can do for you. First, I want you
to surrender to the cops. Oh all right, I think
that's no deal. I'll wait a minute, Mike. I'll make
you a proposition. I'm not interested, but Pete's say, give
me a chance, would you. I'm convinced that, with any luck,
you can clean this up in a couple of hours.
If you haven't by then I'll give myself up. What
do you do in the meantime, I'll stay right here.
(09:28):
Wants to prevent me from walking out and calling the police? Nothing?
Oh you just trust me. I don't have any other choice.
What do you say, Mike? This is against my better judgment, Morgan,
but you got yourself a boy.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
This is it Hurley here again?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Friends, this time of year, especially everybody longs for something
just a little bit different to pep up tired winter menus,
So this idea for a tempting salad may be just
what you want.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It's an easy salad to make.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You just take a good sized green pepper, scoop out
the center and stuff the pepper with Crafts delicious olive
pimento cheese spread. Then chill, slice into pin wheels and
serve each slice on a crispy lettuce leaf.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
M Ah, what wonderfully.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Kraft Olive Pimento is an extra delicious cheese spread filled
with juicy bits of red pimentos and fine green olives.

food made from only the finest, purest ingredients and smooth.
It's smooth as satin spreads perfectly for sandwiches and snacks.

you're enjoying these delicious spreads, you know Kraft cheese spreads
are so delicious, they are America's favorites, so be sure
you get that cheese spreads made by Craft. Now back
(11:13):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes have passed
since Mike Wearing agreed to go to work for Chuck Morgan,
and now as we find Mike, he's about to earn
his fee. Yes, Missus Norman Davis, that's right. My name
is Mike Wearing. I'm sorry to bother you at a
(11:35):
time like this, but I'd like to ask you some
questions about your husband.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But I've told the police everything I know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, I'm working on a different angle.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Come in, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What do you want to know, Missus Davis? Have you
any ideas who might have killed men? If Chuck Morgan,
I mean, besides Morgan.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
No, Red didn't have an enemy in the world.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Now you know that's not true, Missus Davis. Your husband
wasn't exactly the most popular citizen in New York.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
How dare you say that to me? Well, I won't
have you talked that way about him.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I'm tired of these insinuations.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
How do you know what kind of man Paul was?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, I'm sorry, you're sorry, go on, get out, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Look, I don't want to hear any more about it.
Now leave me alone.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Let me to congratulate you, missus Davis.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That was a marvelous performance.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Why thank you, miss Lyon. You think I convinced him?
I was a broken hearted widow.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
How could you help it when you practically convinced me?
Come here, darling and let me console you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Just the second.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, I'm looking for a guy named Larry Hudson. Well
look low further, mister Morgan Hugh Hudson. That's right. One
of my friends told me you wanted to see me.
It's held. You're right, Yeah, for a drink. Yeah, I
can stand one. Help yourself. Bars in the corner, call
me one while you're at it. You're in a bad spot, chuck.
You bring me up here to tell me that? Yeah? Yeah,
(13:22):
you see I know who killed Red Davis.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What you heard me? Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
That was mine?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah? Thanks? Say yeah, how you fixed the cash put
him in? Well, I got a lot of information to sell.
It's going to the highest bidder. You mean you can
clean me. I'm not doing any more talking until I
see the color of your dough. I don't know you
got much in that. I'll give you a sample. Did
you know that Davis's wife was too timing the monk
with whom I don't know. That's all you get free,
(13:50):
But you can use this kind of stuff, can't you listen? Hudson?
I want you to talk to Wearing. Mike Wearing the
falk and he's working for me. You kid, No, we
have talked to him. Sure, providing like you make a buck,
I'll take care of you. I'm going back to Wearing's apartment.
I want you to call him in about fifteen minutes.
I'll be sitting right here at the phone. Tell him
what you told me about missus Davis. Oh no, no,
(14:10):
get the dough up first. I look, Hudson, I only
got a grand on me. I'll give you another four
the next time I see you. H Oh, Jay Morgan,
you got yourself a deal, Morgan jack O. Hello, desk is,
(14:39):
mister Warring. There was a man waiting in my apartment.
By any chance? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Come in?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
How am I just asking for you? Morgan? What the
devil have you? Ben? That tells me a lot. I
thought you agreed to stay right here. I know, but
I had to see somebody. Oh suppose you tell me
what you find out first, well, not very much. Every
lead I expe lord came back to you. You see
missus Davis just a few minutes. What'd you think of it?
She seemed all broken up over her husband's murder. She
was kidding in What makes you think so? Because I've
(15:08):
been doing a little checking on my own. She's been
holding hands with some guy who wasn't her husband. Where'd
you get that from? Private dick named Larry Hudson?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That lion.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I don't care what he is, Mike, he's got the
evidence to clear me. What did he say killed Davis?
He wouldn't tell me, but I made him promise to
talk to you. We should be calling you any minute. Listen, Morgan,
I wouldn't trust that guy in a stack of bibles.
What'd you give him?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Give him?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yes, a guy like Hudson doesn't talk for free. How
much you promise him? Five grand? And you better save
your money.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But I tell you he can clear me.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Hey, that's probably him. Now, hello, that you're wearing that's right, Hudson?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I take it. Then you've talked to Morgan?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, Well what.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do you think?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
What I think is unimportant? Morgan tells me you can
clear him.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Sure for a price for.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
My part of my interest. You got to talk to him, Mike.
I don't like it, Morgan, but if this guy can
save mine.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Don't make up your minds. Boys, they ain't got all week.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, Hudson will be over in an hour.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Over here, Mike. Look, I want you to let me
handle Hudson and keep your mouth shut. You're the doctor.
Let's keeping it. I don't know. Maybe why not? I
doubt it. How can you tell? Take a peek at
that keyhole? I can't see a thing. Sure, because the
(16:31):
key is still in the lock. It means Hudson has
got to be in there. Hey, Hotson, open up, hot Son?
All right, Morgan, give me a hand.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Break it down? Shouldn't take too much effort. Come on,
let's go ide one more?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Should even hot sun? Hot Son?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Where the devil is a light switch?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It ought to be somewhere around the door.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And watch yourself, Morgan, where do I strike a match?
I gotta here we are? Yeah, don't touch him? Was
he dead? You the better asleep? With that knife and him?
What do you think? End me the phone? I gotta
call the cops. A nice pace of work, Mike, A
(17:26):
very nice pace of work. All right, Morgan, let's go.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I hold at core.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But he's not the reason I called you. I know,
but I'm not complaining. I told you not to call him, Mike.
Care I'm beginning to think you're right, Morgan, for the
same dime, I could have phoned someone with brains. What
kind of a crack is that? In case you hadn't noticed, Sergeant,
that's a body in that chair. It'll keep. But as
long as you raised the point, why did you kill him? Morgan?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You crazy? I just got here with wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Don't hand me that. It's the truth, Corbet, So you're
gonna be his alibi? Yep, you better listen to me
unless you want to look like a jerk. When we
get the headquarters. How long would you say Hudson was dead? Yeah,
not too long, body's still warm. It would be anywhere
from fifteen minutes to three quarters of an hour. And
that lets Morgan, I don't say how, because he was
with me every minute from the time I got Hudson's
(18:11):
call to the time we broke down the door, and
the whole business took at least an hour. Your word's
not good enough, Mike. Okay, sergeant, if you don't believe me,
you can check what the switchboard is my place and
the door man downstairs. And if that's not enough, I'll
dig up the hackey it drove us over. That still
doesn't mean Morgan couldn't have killed Red Davis. Come on,
use your head, sergeant. You know both these murders were
committed about the same party. Hudson knew who it was,
(18:32):
That's why he was killed. I still say it was Morgan. Yeah,
crazy Hudson was going to clear me. Quiet Morgan, all right, sergeant,
I'll advise him to confess if you can show me
one thing, right, how did he get in here? You
can see the only door was locked from the inside,
so why he could have used the window? We'll take
a look bars on him. That's right, And no one
(18:56):
but a midget could fit through the opening, and there
must be an out of the door, And forget it, there
wasn't that. It was a physical impossibility for anyone to
have killed Hudson. Yet it was done. How I can't
tell you, but maybe I can take you to the
little lady who can.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Shall we go.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Listen, Mike, if the DA ever finds out, I let
Morgan go.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He'll have wad about that.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Huh. Isn't this where Red Davis lived? That's right, sergeant.
Well you can't bother his wife. Now, why not because
her husband was just murdered. Well, she may surprise you
with what she knows about it. Morgan told me that
she was being romance by some character.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't know the priority needed? Did read if you
ask me? Sergeant? Yes, hello, missus Davis remember me.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Not too pleasantly?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
May we come in?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I'm sorry, mister Waring, I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh well, this gentleman would like to ask you a
couple of questions.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
This gentleman means nothing in my young life.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, you never can tell. He's a sergeant the New
York Police Department's Homicide Division.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Oh well, well, it's just that the houses is in
such a mess.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well, we promise not to stare. Who was it, Norma?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Norma? I think you're being paid Dangel.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
It's nothing, Raymond.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, for a moment, Darling, I was, oh, hello, mister
liars Raymond.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Listen, Sergeant, I can explain everything.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Sure, but suppose we do it downtown?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Downtown?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
This is customary, Missus Davids, when the police are questioning suspects.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But we did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Nothing but murder your husband and the man named Larry Hudson.
That's a lie you and I that you and Lines
are busy in the romance department behind your husband's back. Yes,
what's Lions doing here?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
He's just helping me like you helped you murder Hudson.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
No or just a moment, Wearing, I thought this gentleman
was the officer.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Of the law. You're right, Lions, but if you think
my questions are gonna be less embarrassing, you're in for
a bad shock. Larry Hudson was murdered at ten forty
five tonight. Where were you at that time? I was
with Normal, that's right now. That's what I call a
wonderful alibi. Sergeant, too bad. There wasn'tny one else around
the substantiated Oh.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
But there was mister Waring, a Justice of the peace
named Smith over in Jersey. I think he might recall us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Why should he?
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Because I gave him a hundred dollars to perform the
marriage ceremony that made Norma here, Missus Lyons. I guess
he should remember that, don't you.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
This is ed hurling he again, friends, and I'd like
to help you find out about the nine most delicious
cheese spread you'd ever water taste. They're the nine famous
cheese spreads made by Kraft. They're delightfully mild tasting ones
such as Kraft Pineapple cheese Spread, Craft Olive Pimento, and
Craft Relish. And there are sharp tasting ones too, like
(21:56):
Broca smokel and Kraft.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Limburger cheese bread.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
All of them are mighty good to eat, and they're
good for you to eat too, because they're wholesome dairy
foods made from only the finest ingredients for quick, easy
snacks and sandwiches. Keep your refrigerator stocked with several of
the nine delicious Craft cheese spreads. Now back to the
(22:25):
Adventures of the Falcon. A half hour has passed since
Norman Davis and Raymond Lyons punctured Mike's theory by coming
up with an unbreakable alibi, and now as Mike drives
home with Sergeant Corbett, he still refuses to accept the ompius.
Doesn't make sense, Corbett, I tell you it doesn't make sense.
Will you watch while you're driving something screwy about that marriage.
(22:48):
You saw the license. It doesn't strike you as strange.
And within twelve hours after your husband has murdered, Missus
Davis marries another man. Of course it there's no law
against it. But an alibi like that must have a
hole in it. Show me where you after you do that.
Show me how either Missus Davis or Lions could have
murdered Hudson with a physical impossibility for Morgan to kill him.
It applies to them, toe or hold everything. What's the matter?
(23:12):
What a chump? I've been well, I say, Confashion, that's
good for the Saul. I tell you I've got the
answer to the whole thing. Sergeant, is that on the level? Yes,
I know now who killed Hudson, and with the help
of Chuck Morgan, I'm gonna prove it. You're driving at Mike.
(23:33):
I don't know anything about Missus Davis except what I
told you before. Well, how did you discover she was
seeing Raymond Lyons? I didn't know what it was Lions.
All Hudson told me was that it was some man.
How well did you know Hudson idmt him for the
first time today he got in touch with one of
my friends and said he wanted to see me. Well,
that puts us right back when we started. Look, Mike,
why don't we drop the whole business. You'd like that,
wouldn't you. Well, sure the cops know now that I
(23:56):
couldn't have killed Hudson. That's where you're wrong. You mean
they still know. They don't, but I do. What are
you babbling about, Morgan? I know how you manage it,
do you. Yes, it's pretty clever. I can't blame myself
and not seeing it sooner. I wonder you insisted I
go up and see Hudson. I'm still waiting to hear
you explain how I killed him, and I'm saving that
for the car. Don't kid yourself, Mike. You've done all
(24:17):
the talking. You're going to all right. Put away with
a gun, Morgan. You only gotta be sucker enough to
come here alone. Funny, I don't see anyone around. You're
not lucking in the right places, Mike. I'm warning a Morgan,
you better throw your gun in the middle of the
road you want it much at Mike. He may be
acting now with that hole in his forehead call, but
(24:38):
that doesn't call for much ability. I think you better
phone the corner. You drop me over the corner. So well,
it's been great all at Mike, aren't you forgetting something?
I've got a report to make. Who's stopping you are? Oh? Well,
(25:03):
you know that Morgan killed Red Davis. Sure, I was
the first one to say so. You should have stuck
to your guns. Well, when you tossed in that razzle
dazzle about Hudson's murder, you throw me and well, don't
feel too badly about it. I was right with you,
of course, I'm reconstructing now. But this is what must
have happened. Lions tried to hire Hudson to bump Red.
Hudson said he'd think it over. When Red was killed,
(25:25):
Hudson knw immediately that if he hadn't done it, Morgan
must have. I don't see how that follows. It could
have been lines if Lions were willing to do the job,
why did he approach Hudson in the first place. It
had to be Morgan, And when Hudson realized that, he
tried to shake down Morgan even told Morgan, if the
price were right, he might be induced to frame Red's wife.
So Morgan played along with him and asked him to
(25:47):
get in touch with me. Mmm, how we're coming to
the part I want to hear? But when Chuck went
to meet Hudson, he knew it would be the first
of many such meetings unless he took steps, So he
slipped a slow acting drug into Hudson's drink. Right, didn't
they kill him then and there and be done with it?
Because he needed an alibi and I was it And
I don't get it. He needed someone with him while
(26:07):
he murdered Hudson.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What sure?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Remember you said it was a physical impossibility for anyone
to get into that room and kill Hudson before Morgan
and I broke down the door. Yeah, well there you
hit the nail right on the head. It was a
physical impossibility. So it means that Hudson was killed while
I was in the room. Let me get this straight.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
You.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Meanwhile, you were hunting for the lights. Wa Morgan was
hunting for place to plant his knife. Wasn't he taking
quite a chance there? Oh? Hudson was drugs, so he
couldn't make an outcry and the knife makes no noise
at all. M Now, I don't learn you the next
time I say something, lessen. I told you Morgan was
the killer all along. Well, you'll have to forgive me.
(26:45):
I've been hearing so many radio shows I forgot it
wasn't unconstitutional for a cop to do right. Let's hope
this establishes some sort of a precedent. Good night, Sogeant.
