Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Nina, I'm
glad you called. Are you have to call me out? Tonight? Angel?
I'm in the middle of a hot deal. Some boys
I know are interested in the big money, and they
figure if we put all our capital in the gun,
we ought to make a killing. The Craft Foods Company
(00:28):
brings you The Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Damon.
You met the Falcon first in his best selling novels,
then you saw him in his thrilling motion picture series.
Now join him on the air when the Falcon loves
the case of the quarrelsome quartet. Before the Falcon starts
(00:55):
on tonight's case, I'd like to say just a word
about something extra delicious craft mayonnaise. Here's really true mayonnaise
at its finest. One taste will tell you that just
one taste of delicate, exquisitely flavored Craft mayonnaise will tell
you that here is mayonnaise to delight even the fussiest cook.
(01:16):
Try it, Try it and see for yourself. Tomorrow when
you shop, get a jar of wonderful tasting Craft mayonnaise.
And now the case of a quarrelsome what end. It's
(01:39):
late evening in New York, and in a shabby apartment
on Manhattan's West Side, a short, heavy set boy named
Dixie Taylor watches his companion Georgie Reynolds attack an age
old problem how to dispose of an empty bottle. But
George is equal to the occasion for spying the fireplace.
He comes up with a practical solution.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I guess there's one way to get rid of your.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Empty anybody asks you'll, Taylor? No, all right, to shut
your face, Hazel.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Hey you want me, George?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
No, I was just rehearsing. I'm going in for hardcore.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. I was busy.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well, I hope I wasn't interrupting anything important.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Honey, give me another bottle?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, darling, don't you can I tell you something? All right, George,
it's one of my bedroom closets.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What are you staring at, Dixie? I was just wondering about.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, don't you're gonna do anyone drink? Think about Martinez.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oltho'll be here? Yeah, Wen he was do an hour ago.
Maybe he had some trouble finding sound. Oh that's just ducky.
What goes on with you guys? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Do I have to tell you brobably Martinez and Saunders now, Hazel, Yes, George.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Didn't you hear that to get some money?
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Alipies?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That got just second? Hello, Hello, mister Martini, your.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Boyfriend g Yeah, we're in the kitchen. Come on here
and bring your friend with you.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Hi, Georgie, Hello, damn hello Leois.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well you took your own sweet time getting here. Martinis.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Well, I have a little bit trouble finding mister Saunders.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Gear gentlemen bringing a couple of chairs.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yes, all right, I go on, go out beat it, George,
beat it these fellas and I have some business to discuss. Well, Martinis,
did you tell Saundas what I lined up?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I think was maybe better I leave that for you.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's a snatch, Sonds, Oh what a snatch. That's what
I thought you said.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, it's been nice knowing you gentlemen. That No, thanks,
I'm not interested. Caut you something to listen, all right?
If you hear a big Joe Gallagher, well enough to
know that if he's the party you got in mind,
you can include me.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Out as the saying, don't be a jerk, sond It.
Sure Gallagher is a big rackets boy. But that's just
why we can get away with this.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You're crazy. I look, Martinez, why didn't you tell you?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Georgie, Penn, Dixie and I used to work for Gallagher.
We know what makes him tick. A guy in his
position would never yell coppy.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But there's one thing you're overlooking. From what I know
of mister Gallagher, he never goes anywhere without two or
three of his boys. How are you going to separate
the wheat from the chaff? I got it all figured out.
Gallagher's the ladies man.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
See now, if I babe what to call him up
and arrange a blind date, it's dollars to donuts.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He'd go for it. I doubt it. Don't tell me.
I've seen it work a dozen times. You got the girl? Yeah? Yeah, Hazel,
the one whill let you in. I suppose she talks.
She wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Besides, she doesn't have to know what's going on. I'll tell
her the whole thing's a gag.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Where do I come in?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hazel will arrange to meet Gallagher at the forty nine Club?
You and Martinis will pick him up. What about you
and Taylor? How we can't take a chance? He knows
this well, what do you say, Sonders?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You think this will work? Martinas?
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Why not, George? He's got all the angles figured out
so it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would seem okay, mm hmm. Deal me in.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Well, I'd like to speak to mister Gallagher please.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Who wants him?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, he wouldn't know me, but you can tell him.
I'm a friend of Gloria Wilson.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I never heard of her, are you, mister Gallagher? That's right?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well Gloria made me promise to look you up when
I got to New York.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Sorry, sister, I don't know anybody by that handle.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
She was a chorus girl at Turndello's.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
No, really, no killing, because if you do, I'd like
to see it.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I'm afraid that's all the question, mister Gallagher. I'm flying
to the coast tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Ah, what time?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Quarter after one?
Speaker 2 (05:55):

Speaker 2 (06:02):

few minutes and that'll give you enough time to talk
to Hazel alone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh where is she?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She's in the back room with the rest of the fan.
Let's go u right down here.

Hazel's friend.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Where's here to know you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Mister Gallagher?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Where's Hazel? She just stepped out for a minute. Well
where's the rest of the crowd, Crown. Yeah, her cousin
told me she had a flock of relatives down here.
Never will he Saunders he's a big joker, Saunders. I
thought his name was Walsh. What goes on here?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
In so just keep those hands where they are, mister Gallagher, frisky, Martinez.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Get your hands.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I don't get excited, mister Gallagher.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's a bite for your blood pricerely clean. He's now good.
Would you be kind enough to accompany that's mister Gallagher?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh no, you're not getting me to walk out of here.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, as long as you feel like I have to
head it through a Martinez. He said he wasn't walking
out of here, and he was.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Right matter with those guys anyway, got the time, taxie?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You asked me that just five minutes ago, George, I
don't get smart.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
If anything could have gone wrong, not a chance. But
you tell Galcut's wife just what you told me.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I said we had a husband and if she wanted
them back, she was to dig up a hundred grand.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Maybe I should have gone forth myself instead of sending
sonas to my team.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
What are you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Worried about, George?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
They managed to snatch?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All right?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But how do I know that there is? George? I'll
get it, Oh, George, got it? So what does these
bike look like? All right? Let me have it. How
to go on? All the clockworks?
Speaker 7 (08:56):
As soon as missus guy, I'll give you the money,
I give her the key and talk her away to
find her.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Nice gloy, Yes, I guess. Congratulations Renado, all around one
hundred thousand dollars. Just just think of this, you think
of it, Sonders, because that's as close as you'll get
to it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What do you mean, George, Well, I tell you a friend,
it's like this. The boys and I had a little.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Tor and you decided why split four ways? Huh? You
catch your first? Didn't you think I'd have anything to
say about that? I put away that gun? So yeah,
Georgia was only clown. Yes, our best. You know, I'm
a little surprised at you, dick. Sir. Look if we
were gonna doublecross, do you think we'd send you for
(09:36):
the door?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Sure, that doesn't make sense. No, don't move, I see
you just drop the gun.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Let's go on my tennis. Well, mister smart guy, what
are you saying now, George?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Go bit it all right? Gentlemen, if this little get
together hasn't been pleasant, it has been informative. Well, I'll
be very glad to show you what I learned next
time we meet it alone.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm looking for a Michael Wearing private detective called the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, you pick the right place or you coome on
in Angel, Thank you, said down.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I suppose I should introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's customary.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Well, my name is Hazel Walsh, Hazel.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Wolf, that's right? Who recommended me? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I remembered hearing about Falcon years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And to file the information away for this more convenient day.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, are you available for a.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Case at fifty dollars a day and expenses? I am,
what's your problem? Why?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's really not my problem, mister Wearing. A girlfriend of
mine is engaged to some man, and she believes that
he's done something crooked.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Of course, not all right, let's call it unethical.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Go on, Well, if the man ever was caught, could
they force my friend to be a witness against him?
They certainly couldn't, even though she found out about it
by accident.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Doesn't make any difference, miss Walter.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well, isn't there anything she can do?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Nope? Only if she were married to him, could she
refuse to testify?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, if we got married, I mean, if they got married.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I let's use the first example Hazel, it'll be easier
on us both.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Now look here, mister wa.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No, you look angel obviously in some sort of a jam.
Now what is it?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
I tell you you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What did your boyfriend do?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, I suppose you tell me his name.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's Harry Prescott.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Come on, Hazel, what's his name?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Well, you have no right to question me like this.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, but the police you're not going to call him.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No, Well, it's George Reynolds.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
E the same Georgia Reynolds are used to run with
the Gallagher mob.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
No, no, it's not that one at all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, I supports you introduce us and let me see
for myself. I'm an easy man to convince. Well sounds
as though Mike follows that good old theory that seeing
is believing. Course, that's a pretty smart idea, I think,
(12:38):
and it's a good one for everyone to follow when
it comes to food. For example, I can tell you
how satiny smooth Craft mayonnaise is, what an amazing creamy,
rich texture it has because of the special way Craft
blends it. But to really appreciate just how smooth Craft
kitchen fresh mayonnaise is, get a jar and see for yourself.
(12:58):
That way, you can taste for yourself too. You won't
have to take my word for it that Kraft mayonnaise
is especially good, with a delicate, delightful flavor, the result
of careful blending of only the finest oils and eggs,
the most fragrant vinegars and spices. Yes, the best way
to tell is to taste Craft mayonnaise yourself. Try it
(13:18):
on a cool and colorful salad of hollowed out tomatoes,
topped with spicy deviled eggs, and garnished with fresh and
tangy watercress. It's really delicious. So tomorrow, when you shop,
get a jar of Craft Kitchen fresh mayonnaise. Whether you're
serving a simple, everyday kind of salad or a fancy
company special, you'll enjoy it more with true mayonnaise at
(13:41):
its finest Craft mayonnaise. Now back to the Adventures of
the Falcon fifteen minutes of past since Hazel Wolfsh introduced
herself to me Mike Wearing, and now the two are
(14:01):
on their way to Georgie Reynolds's apartments, and strangely enough,
Miss Walsh doesn't seem too delighted by the trip.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I don't know why. Let you talk me into this, mister.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wearing simple Hazel, you know the kind of girl who's
taking such a licking. You could be talking to anything
that's a lie? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Then?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Why did you bring me here?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Because I thought you could help George.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, if it's the same George, I think it is.
You let to get yourself another boy? What if I
major tie up with a guy like that?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I don't think they concerns you.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's the place? Yes? Can I help no thing? Where's
the light switch?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
A little over your right? Have you got it?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yep? Stop that I saw him?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You stay where you are?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is he nothing else? But someone gave it to Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Much for the temple?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
George?
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yort?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You can you talk to me like that? Beyonce, I
can talk you, I thought, because it's not your fiancee.
What this is a boy named Dixie Taylor? Now? Will
you behave.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I believe it? There must be some mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What's the matter, Hazel? You disappointed? It isn't George?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Do you know Taylor? Well?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
He was a friend of George?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Is I so?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I'm around here? Once or twice?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Who else was a member of this fraternity?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Just a man named Louis Martinez.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
H Well, that's some select group. I've heard of all
of them. Did they blackball anyone recently?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Did your boyfriend and Martinez cross anyone lately? I don't
think so, Hazel. You better stop lying. You don't do
it very well.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What there was a Nick Saunders, good looking.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Boy around thirty five?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What did they fight about?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Do you think Saunders might have killed Dixie?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I suppose so.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How about George? No, Hazel, don't be a sucker. You
think you'll appreciate your loyalty Georgie? All right? I will.
Isn't it nice of her not to suspect you, George,
not to suspect me of what? Take a look under
that blanket? Oh? Who did it? That's just what I
(16:19):
was asking you? Get any suggestions? Larry or one? Say?
Who invited you here? Anyway? She didn't? Oh? Was that
so darling?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I was only thinking of you.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's the truth, George. Never have I seen a woman
show so much concern? All right, wearing beat it? I
don't need you. How about Hazel? She don't need you either.
Go on to Hazel, tell.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Him, Uh, I made a mistake, mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm sorry you mean that? Yes, okay, so be it.
Oh when the police show up, tell him I have
to leave. It'll be a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Listen, Georgie, I know what you're gonna say, do you? Oh, Darling,
I was only thinking of you. I know what you
Dixie Martinez, Teacher Saunders. That's why I went to Wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That was smart.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But I was worried about Saunders.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
And I'm worried about you. You think you'll ever learned
to keep your mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What do I have to peach? He carpet doesn't Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Ah, that's on your mind, Mike.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Listen. What kind of capra was Georgia Reynolds pulled recently?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Well there's some talk going around that Big Joe Gallagher
was snatched last week.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh it's crazy sageant I saw on Poortie Street yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I know that's the story we got.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
According to one of my pet stoolies, his missus laid
out one hundred grand to get him back.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You think Georgia Reynolds was behind.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
It wouldn't be at all surprised.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But can't you do anything?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You tell me how when we got no proof. Missus
Gallagher hasn't seen fit to make a complaint.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Was Nick Saunders in our us?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Seem to know more about it than I do. What
do you know about Saunders?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Not quite enough, Sergeant. I'll let you know the minute
I learned more. Oh, by the way, there is a
body over Georgia Renold's apartment. Go over and pick it
up like a good fellow, will you? Yes? Hello Saunders?
(18:30):
Remember me? Oh? Sure? Sure? You're the folk? An answer?
Can I come in? Why not? Sorry? I can't offer
you anything. Oh you never know unless you try wearing
what's on your mind? Well? I heard you and George
Reynolds had little trouble last night. You must be thinking
of two other guys. And what gets me is why
you took it out on Taylor. Taylor, haven't you heard
(18:52):
he's dead? Not my old pal Dixie World Will Will?
What do you know? I know? You better have a
pretty good alibi handing. Come on, Sonders, get your coat,
we're going to headquarter. Just brief me on one thing.
Wearing you're a private detectivevontre that's right now. Where do
you get off pushing people around? It's my hobby. You're
(19:13):
going to get your coat or when you go like
that act your age. Put away the guns, Saunders. But
at the way, drop it, drop it.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
All?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Right? Now? What do you say? Friend? Do we take
that little ride I mentioned? Okay Wearing, but don't be
surprised if someday I return the paper.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Their guy named Mike Wearing here as it's come in here,
I want to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Talk to you, okay, see a lady, Sergeant hel Bat.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Sit down warring. Thanks, Sargeant Carbett tells me you're the
boy who brought in So that was a pleasure. I'm
glad you got a kick out of it because I
just talked the headquarters about you.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
What four is he?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
How they feel about attempted blackmail?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Didn't you try to shake down Saunders?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Is that what he claims? No?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I can put two and two together myself.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And you ought to go back to school, Inspector. There's
something wrong with your arithmetic.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I doubt it.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
When you start shoving a guy around just because you've
got a record, there's only one answer.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You're crazy. I tell your Saunters killed Dixie Taylor? How
he shot him?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
That's how from Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
What are you talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Going to the corner. Dixie Taylor died at eight thirty pm,
So what well? At eight twenty five, Saunders was picked
up by the Pennsylvania State Police for carrying a ride
without a license, and he wasn't released until two hours later. Now,
who doesn't know his arithmetic?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Mate? Huh Hazel? How did you get in here?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
The superintendent let me in. I gotta talk to you, and.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That makes this even angel, because I want to talk
to you.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Look, you've got to drop the key, I.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Let raises a problem. How can I drop something I've
never been paid for in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I mean, if I'm going to work for free, I
might as well do it for myself. He can't do that,
you know, Like I see someone stop me? What's Georgie's
phone number? Why? Because I want to talk to him?
What about the murder of Dixie Taylor?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He doesn't know anything about it?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Are you kidding? Now? What's the number? Come on, Hazel,
I'm not clowning.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's really four ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Sure a baby? When I get through with mister Reynolds,
whenever lay a hand on you again.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You don't hear me compling.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Next you'll be telling me you love the guy I do?
Is that you Reynolds Mike Wearing. Let me talk to George.
I'm afraid that he shout at the question. Listen, my tenez,
if I have to come over there, he's what.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, someone that does have strick me about an hour ago,
and somehow we didn't seem to.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Gree with.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Not true. I don't believe it. My teens was lying.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I suppose we go over and check George. Come on, Hazel,
get a grip on yourself. You're better off without him.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh, how can you talk that?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because it's the truth. He was no good.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Don't give me that you knew he was the brain
behind the big Joe Gallagher snatch. No, you're wrong, we
are you kidding? Well, so incidentally, what happened to the loot?
The loot the ransom money? Missus Gallagher paid off? You
would if anybody would. You can't keep it, angel I
didn't intend to. And where is it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, he didn't tell me, but I watched him through
the keyhole. Where did they put it under the middle
cushion of the sofa in George?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, let's get it before someone else gets the same idea.
I wouldn't be surprised for her a little late. Now,
you know what Mike said just now about getting there
first sounds like the race that usually goes on in
my house for the last piece of cold chicken in
(23:21):
the refrigerator. But a chicken sandwich sure makes a swell snack,
especially when you put lots of Craft mayonnaise on the bread. Hmmm.
The delicate flavor of Kraft mayonnaise is just exactly what
you want. And Craft mayonnaise is so creamy, rich and smooth.
Just try it for a grand sandwich spread as well
as for fine salad. There's nothing like true mayonnaise at
(23:43):
its finest, Craft kitchen fresh mayonnaise. Now back to the
adventures of the Polka. A half hour has passed. Mike
Wearing learned that with the recent death of Georgie Reynolds
and the earlier demise of Dixie Taylor, the original quartet
(24:06):
was now working as a duo on one hundred thousand
dollars worth of loose notes an hour. As we rejoined
the team of Mark and Hazel, they're making their entrance
at Georgie Reynold's apartment but Hazel seems to be suffering
with a bad case of stage fright. That's not Rangel
having trouble cause I'm a little nervous. He let me try. Ah,
(24:26):
come in, Louis, What do you expect? Shuttered door? Wearing
look Martin, I said, shuttered door. I'll raise him? Why,
all right? You don't have to worry. I'm clean. I
don't believe in taking chances. That's not enough sporting blood.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I guess I'm yellow too, bad Georgie didn't have as
much Saint swirs. He moved the club chair on.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, gone, he was behind it, sad. Won't bring him back?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
You kill him?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well, while we are on this subject, where were you
at eleven thirty?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
He was waiting for me in my apartment? Nice. Look,
you better watch that mind, and you'd better watch yours.
All right, Hazel, where is it?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Where is what?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No? He got from Gallagher? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Won't give me that I wanted, honey, bunch him.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Nothing's gone. They'll keep me from and understand what no, no, no,
don't bother turning around, Martinez. It's only me Saunders. Don't
mind if I do, Martinez, But first drop the gun. Yeah,
it's a sweet heart. Do you want me to take
it out? No? No, no, don't trouble yourself wearing I
can manage. What happened to Georgie the same thing that
(25:32):
happened to Dixie Taylor. And he was such a sweet guy,
wasn't he? Well? By the way, when I walked in here,
Martinez was asking you a question. I don't remember your
answering it would you like to.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Now you'll never see a penny.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Of that month, Commandez, we're wasting time. Where is it
a better tile of angel I think he means business.
I do, and make no mistake about it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
He's under the middle cushion of his self.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Watch. Say where you are, Martinez. I'll do my own checking.
Oh no, isn't that pretty? Since Honda's I'm afraid I
haven't the time Louis to find it. Saunders, Yes he has, Hello,
sogeant him. My inspector sent me around to apologize. Oh
(26:13):
what happened? Twenty minutes ago?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
A call came through from Philly that that Saunders they
picked up There was this guy's cousin.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I thought there was something schooly playing. Well, if you
followed it on the in just a minute, where you're going, Martinez, Well,
like your figure, he's no point of mife hanging around you. No,
you better get used to it, Louis, You're gonna do
quite a bit of it from now on.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You'll kill Dixie Taylor and George Reynold. Oh crazy, Maybe
you're right here. I've got you hanging when any kid
knows that in New York they burn you, all right, Sergeant,
prove it to him. Nice, don't say it ain't well.
I was just going to ask me to explain things.
(26:54):
Oh well, I guess you're entitled to it. You see.
This was a modern version of thieves falling out. When
Louis Martinez saw how George double cross Saunders, it didn't
take him a loong the figure that he was next.
So he desired to beat your boyfriend of the punch.
First he killed Dixie, which made it look bad for Saunders,
and then to ensure his best he killed George.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Then why did he wait at the house for us?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well he had too. You were the only one who
knew where the money was stashed, and until he got it,
he committed two murders for nothing.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Well, couldn't have Saunders have done it.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Mm mm. I knew Martinez was the killer long before
Saunders ever showed up. Ah, but Marta told us he
hadn't called the police, so obviously there was no autopsy performed.
Yet he knew exactly what poison killed George and the
time he got it. Member he told me was the
phone that George didn't fed a dose of Fickton. And
now before I called, Well, now, how would he know
that unless he was right there feeding it to him?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Shall I tell you something I wish you wouldn't. I
lied to you about loving George. You see, otherwise I
was afraid you might suspect me.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh, I couldn't afford to Angel.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well you're much prettier than Martinez and Saunders.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Oh I I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, you see, I figured to wrap up this case
on midnights. And if you were guilty, what would I
do for a day? Faults? Here's sure pure enjoyment for
the whole family, Real honesty, goodness. Malted made with craft
Chocolate flavored malted milk. Easy to fix. Two. You just
(28:17):

full of milk and stir it. Enjoy the best malted
you ever put to your lips. Include craft malted milk
on your shopping list for Tuesday. Enjoy it craft malted

old problem how to dispose of an empty bottle. But
George is equal to the occasion for spying the fireplace.
He comes up with a practical solution.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I guess there's one way to get rid of your.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Empty anybody asks you'll, Taylor? No, all right, to shut
your face, Hazel.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Hey you want me, George?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
No, I was just rehearsing. I'm going in for hardcore.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. I was busy.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well, I hope I wasn't interrupting anything important.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Honey, give me another bottle?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, darling, don't you can I tell you something? All right, George,
it's one of my bedroom closets.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What are you staring at, Dixie? I was just wondering about.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, don't you're gonna do anyone drink? Think about Martinez.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oltho'll be here? Yeah, Wen he was do an hour ago.
Maybe he had some trouble finding sound. Oh that's just ducky.
What goes on with you guys? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Do I have to tell you brobably Martinez and Saunders now, Hazel, Yes, George.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Didn't you hear that to get some money?
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Alipies?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That got just second? Hello, Hello, mister Martini, your.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Boyfriend g Yeah, we're in the kitchen. Come on here
and bring your friend with you.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Hi, Georgie, Hello, damn hello Leois.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well you took your own sweet time getting here. Martinis.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Well, I have a little bit trouble finding mister Saunders.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Gear gentlemen bringing a couple of chairs.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yes, all right, I go on, go out beat it, George,
beat it these fellas and I have some business to discuss. Well, Martinis,
did you tell Saundas what I lined up?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I think was maybe better I leave that for you.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's a snatch, Sonds, Oh what a snatch. That's what
I thought you said.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, it's been nice knowing you gentlemen. That No, thanks,
I'm not interested. Caut you something to listen, all right?
If you hear a big Joe Gallagher, well enough to
know that if he's the party you got in mind,
you can include me.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Out as the saying, don't be a jerk, sond It.
Sure Gallagher is a big rackets boy. But that's just
why we can get away with this.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You're crazy. I look, Martinez, why didn't you tell you?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Georgie, Penn, Dixie and I used to work for Gallagher.
We know what makes him tick. A guy in his
position would never yell coppy.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But there's one thing you're overlooking. From what I know
of mister Gallagher, he never goes anywhere without two or
three of his boys. How are you going to separate
the wheat from the chaff? I got it all figured out.
Gallagher's the ladies man.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
See now, if I babe what to call him up
and arrange a blind date, it's dollars to donuts.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He'd go for it. I doubt it. Don't tell me.
I've seen it work a dozen times. You got the girl? Yeah? Yeah, Hazel,
the one whill let you in. I suppose she talks.
She wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Besides, she doesn't have to know what's going on. I'll tell
her the whole thing's a gag.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Where do I come in?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hazel will arrange to meet Gallagher at the forty nine Club?
You and Martinis will pick him up. What about you
and Taylor? How we can't take a chance? He knows
this well, what do you say, Sonders?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You think this will work? Martinas?
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Why not, George? He's got all the angles figured out
so it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would seem okay, mm hmm. Deal me in.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Well, I'd like to speak to mister Gallagher please.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Who wants him?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, he wouldn't know me, but you can tell him.
I'm a friend of Gloria Wilson.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I never heard of her, are you, mister Gallagher? That's right?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well Gloria made me promise to look you up when
I got to New York.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Sorry, sister, I don't know anybody by that handle.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
She was a chorus girl at Turndello's.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Hey wait a minute, baby, what's your name?
Speaker 6 (05:40):

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You look anything like your sound? Hazel?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No, really, no killing, because if you do, I'd like
to see it.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I'm afraid that's all the question, mister Gallagher. I'm flying
to the coast tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Ah, what time?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Quarter after one?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well that still gives us three hours to get acquainted.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
What do you say, baby?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
M all right, but you have to meet me here.
Speaker 2 (06:02):

Speaker 2 (06:48):
She said something about friends or no.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Don't get fright, and we'll be pushing off in a
few minutes and that'll give you enough time to talk
to Hazel alone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh where is she?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She's in the back room with the rest of the fan.
Let's go u right down here.
Speaker 6 (07:02):

Hazel's friend.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Where's here to know you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Mister Gallagher?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Where's Hazel? She just stepped out for a minute. Well
where's the rest of the crowd, Crown. Yeah, her cousin
told me she had a flock of relatives down here.
Never will he Saunders he's a big joker, Saunders. I
thought his name was Walsh. What goes on here?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
In so just keep those hands where they are, mister Gallagher, frisky, Martinez.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Get your hands.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I don't get excited, mister Gallagher.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's a bite for your blood pricerely clean. He's now good.
Would you be kind enough to accompany that's mister Gallagher?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh no, you're not getting me to walk out of here.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, as long as you feel like I have to
head it through a Martinez. He said he wasn't walking
out of here, and he was.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Right matter with those guys anyway, got the time, taxie?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You asked me that just five minutes ago, George, I
don't get smart.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
If anything could have gone wrong, not a chance. But
you tell Galcut's wife just what you told me.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I said we had a husband and if she wanted
them back, she was to dig up a hundred grand.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Maybe I should have gone forth myself instead of sending
sonas to my team.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
What are you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Worried about, George?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
They managed to snatch?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All right?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But how do I know that there is? George? I'll
get it, Oh, George, got it? So what does these
bike look like? All right? Let me have it. How
to go on? All the clockworks?
Speaker 7 (08:56):
As soon as missus guy, I'll give you the money,
I give her the key and talk her away to
find her.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Nice gloy, Yes, I guess. Congratulations Renado, all around one
hundred thousand dollars. Just just think of this, you think
of it, Sonders, because that's as close as you'll get
to it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What do you mean, George, Well, I tell you a friend,
it's like this. The boys and I had a little.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Tor and you decided why split four ways? Huh? You
catch your first? Didn't you think I'd have anything to
say about that? I put away that gun? So yeah,
Georgia was only clown. Yes, our best. You know, I'm
a little surprised at you, dick. Sir. Look if we
were gonna doublecross, do you think we'd send you for
(09:36):
the door?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Sure, that doesn't make sense. No, don't move, I see
you just drop the gun.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Let's go on my tennis. Well, mister smart guy, what
are you saying now, George?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Go bit it all right? Gentlemen, if this little get
together hasn't been pleasant, it has been informative. Well, I'll
be very glad to show you what I learned next
time we meet it alone.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm looking for a Michael Wearing private detective called the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, you pick the right place or you coome on
in Angel, Thank you, said down.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I suppose I should introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's customary.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Well, my name is Hazel Walsh, Hazel.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Wolf, that's right? Who recommended me? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I remembered hearing about Falcon years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And to file the information away for this more convenient day.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, are you available for a.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Case at fifty dollars a day and expenses? I am,
what's your problem? Why?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's really not my problem, mister Wearing. A girlfriend of
mine is engaged to some man, and she believes that
he's done something crooked.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Of course, not all right, let's call it unethical.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Go on, Well, if the man ever was caught, could
they force my friend to be a witness against him?
They certainly couldn't, even though she found out about it
by accident.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Doesn't make any difference, miss Walter.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well, isn't there anything she can do?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Nope? Only if she were married to him, could she
refuse to testify?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, if we got married, I mean, if they got married.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I let's use the first example Hazel, it'll be easier
on us both.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Now look here, mister wa.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No, you look angel obviously in some sort of a jam.
Now what is it?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
I tell you you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What did your boyfriend do?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, I suppose you tell me his name.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's Harry Prescott.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Come on, Hazel, what's his name?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Well, you have no right to question me like this.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, but the police you're not going to call him.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No, Well, it's George Reynolds.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
E the same Georgia Reynolds are used to run with
the Gallagher mob.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
No, no, it's not that one at all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, I supports you introduce us and let me see
for myself. I'm an easy man to convince. Well sounds
as though Mike follows that good old theory that seeing
is believing. Course, that's a pretty smart idea, I think,
(12:38):
and it's a good one for everyone to follow when
it comes to food. For example, I can tell you
how satiny smooth Craft mayonnaise is, what an amazing creamy,
rich texture it has because of the special way Craft
blends it. But to really appreciate just how smooth Craft
kitchen fresh mayonnaise is, get a jar and see for yourself.
(12:58):
That way, you can taste for yourself too. You won't
have to take my word for it that Kraft mayonnaise
is especially good, with a delicate, delightful flavor, the result
of careful blending of only the finest oils and eggs,
the most fragrant vinegars and spices. Yes, the best way
to tell is to taste Craft mayonnaise yourself. Try it
(13:18):
on a cool and colorful salad of hollowed out tomatoes,
topped with spicy deviled eggs, and garnished with fresh and
tangy watercress. It's really delicious. So tomorrow, when you shop,
get a jar of Craft Kitchen fresh mayonnaise. Whether you're
serving a simple, everyday kind of salad or a fancy
company special, you'll enjoy it more with true mayonnaise at
(13:41):
its finest Craft mayonnaise. Now back to the Adventures of
the Falcon fifteen minutes of past since Hazel Wolfsh introduced
herself to me Mike Wearing, and now the two are
(14:01):
on their way to Georgie Reynolds's apartments, and strangely enough,
Miss Walsh doesn't seem too delighted by the trip.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I don't know why. Let you talk me into this, mister.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wearing simple Hazel, you know the kind of girl who's
taking such a licking. You could be talking to anything
that's a lie? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Then?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Why did you bring me here?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Because I thought you could help George.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, if it's the same George, I think it is.
You let to get yourself another boy? What if I
major tie up with a guy like that?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I don't think they concerns you.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's the place? Yes? Can I help no thing? Where's
the light switch?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
A little over your right? Have you got it?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yep? Stop that I saw him?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You stay where you are?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is he nothing else? But someone gave it to Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Much for the temple?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
George?
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yort?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You can you talk to me like that? Beyonce, I
can talk you, I thought, because it's not your fiancee.
What this is a boy named Dixie Taylor? Now? Will
you behave.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I believe it? There must be some mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What's the matter, Hazel? You disappointed? It isn't George?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Do you know Taylor? Well?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
He was a friend of George?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Is I so?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I'm around here? Once or twice?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Who else was a member of this fraternity?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Just a man named Louis Martinez.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
H Well, that's some select group. I've heard of all
of them. Did they blackball anyone recently?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Did your boyfriend and Martinez cross anyone lately? I don't
think so, Hazel. You better stop lying. You don't do
it very well.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What there was a Nick Saunders, good looking.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Boy around thirty five?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What did they fight about?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Do you think Saunders might have killed Dixie?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I suppose so.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How about George? No, Hazel, don't be a sucker. You
think you'll appreciate your loyalty Georgie? All right? I will.
Isn't it nice of her not to suspect you, George,
not to suspect me of what? Take a look under
that blanket? Oh? Who did it? That's just what I
(16:19):
was asking you? Get any suggestions? Larry or one? Say?
Who invited you here? Anyway? She didn't? Oh? Was that
so darling?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I was only thinking of you.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's the truth, George. Never have I seen a woman
show so much concern? All right, wearing beat it? I
don't need you. How about Hazel? She don't need you either.
Go on to Hazel, tell.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Him, Uh, I made a mistake, mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm sorry you mean that? Yes, okay, so be it.
Oh when the police show up, tell him I have
to leave. It'll be a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Listen, Georgie, I know what you're gonna say, do you? Oh, Darling,
I was only thinking of you. I know what you
Dixie Martinez, Teacher Saunders. That's why I went to Wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That was smart.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But I was worried about Saunders.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
And I'm worried about you. You think you'll ever learned
to keep your mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What do I have to peach? He carpet doesn't Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Ah, that's on your mind, Mike.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Listen. What kind of capra was Georgia Reynolds pulled recently?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Well there's some talk going around that Big Joe Gallagher
was snatched last week.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh it's crazy sageant I saw on Poortie Street yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I know that's the story we got.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
According to one of my pet stoolies, his missus laid
out one hundred grand to get him back.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You think Georgia Reynolds was behind.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
It wouldn't be at all surprised.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But can't you do anything?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You tell me how when we got no proof. Missus
Gallagher hasn't seen fit to make a complaint.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Was Nick Saunders in our us?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Seem to know more about it than I do. What
do you know about Saunders?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Not quite enough, Sergeant. I'll let you know the minute
I learned more. Oh, by the way, there is a
body over Georgia Renold's apartment. Go over and pick it
up like a good fellow, will you? Yes? Hello Saunders?
(18:30):
Remember me? Oh? Sure? Sure? You're the folk? An answer?
Can I come in? Why not? Sorry? I can't offer
you anything. Oh you never know unless you try wearing
what's on your mind? Well? I heard you and George
Reynolds had little trouble last night. You must be thinking
of two other guys. And what gets me is why
you took it out on Taylor. Taylor, haven't you heard
(18:52):
he's dead? Not my old pal Dixie World Will Will?
What do you know? I know? You better have a
pretty good alibi handing. Come on, Sonders, get your coat,
we're going to headquarter. Just brief me on one thing.
Wearing you're a private detectivevontre that's right now. Where do
you get off pushing people around? It's my hobby. You're
(19:13):
going to get your coat or when you go like
that act your age. Put away the guns, Saunders. But
at the way, drop it, drop it.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
All?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Right? Now? What do you say? Friend? Do we take
that little ride I mentioned? Okay Wearing, but don't be
surprised if someday I return the paper.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Their guy named Mike Wearing here as it's come in here,
I want to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Talk to you, okay, see a lady, Sergeant hel Bat.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Sit down warring. Thanks, Sargeant Carbett tells me you're the
boy who brought in So that was a pleasure. I'm
glad you got a kick out of it because I
just talked the headquarters about you.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
What four is he?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
How they feel about attempted blackmail?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Didn't you try to shake down Saunders?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Is that what he claims? No?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I can put two and two together myself.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And you ought to go back to school, Inspector. There's
something wrong with your arithmetic.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I doubt it.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
When you start shoving a guy around just because you've
got a record, there's only one answer.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You're crazy. I tell your Saunters killed Dixie Taylor? How
he shot him?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
That's how from Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
What are you talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Going to the corner. Dixie Taylor died at eight thirty pm,
So what well? At eight twenty five, Saunders was picked
up by the Pennsylvania State Police for carrying a ride
without a license, and he wasn't released until two hours later. Now,
who doesn't know his arithmetic?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Mate? Huh Hazel? How did you get in here?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
The superintendent let me in. I gotta talk to you, and.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That makes this even angel, because I want to talk
to you.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Look, you've got to drop the key, I.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Let raises a problem. How can I drop something I've
never been paid for in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I mean, if I'm going to work for free, I
might as well do it for myself. He can't do that,
you know, Like I see someone stop me? What's Georgie's
phone number? Why? Because I want to talk to him?
What about the murder of Dixie Taylor?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He doesn't know anything about it?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Are you kidding? Now? What's the number? Come on, Hazel,
I'm not clowning.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's really four ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Sure a baby? When I get through with mister Reynolds,
whenever lay a hand on you again.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You don't hear me compling.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Next you'll be telling me you love the guy I do?
Is that you Reynolds Mike Wearing. Let me talk to George.
I'm afraid that he shout at the question. Listen, my tenez,
if I have to come over there, he's what.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, someone that does have strick me about an hour ago,
and somehow we didn't seem to.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Gree with.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Not true. I don't believe it. My teens was lying.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I suppose we go over and check George. Come on, Hazel,
get a grip on yourself. You're better off without him.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh, how can you talk that?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because it's the truth. He was no good.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Don't give me that you knew he was the brain
behind the big Joe Gallagher snatch. No, you're wrong, we
are you kidding? Well, so incidentally, what happened to the loot?
The loot the ransom money? Missus Gallagher paid off? You
would if anybody would. You can't keep it, angel I
didn't intend to. And where is it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, he didn't tell me, but I watched him through
the keyhole. Where did they put it under the middle
cushion of the sofa in George?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, let's get it before someone else gets the same idea.
I wouldn't be surprised for her a little late. Now,
you know what Mike said just now about getting there
first sounds like the race that usually goes on in
my house for the last piece of cold chicken in
(23:21):
the refrigerator. But a chicken sandwich sure makes a swell snack,
especially when you put lots of Craft mayonnaise on the bread. Hmmm.
The delicate flavor of Kraft mayonnaise is just exactly what
you want. And Craft mayonnaise is so creamy, rich and smooth.
Just try it for a grand sandwich spread as well
as for fine salad. There's nothing like true mayonnaise at
(23:43):
its finest, Craft kitchen fresh mayonnaise. Now back to the
adventures of the Polka. A half hour has passed. Mike
Wearing learned that with the recent death of Georgie Reynolds
and the earlier demise of Dixie Taylor, the original quartet
(24:06):
was now working as a duo on one hundred thousand
dollars worth of loose notes an hour. As we rejoined
the team of Mark and Hazel, they're making their entrance
at Georgie Reynold's apartment but Hazel seems to be suffering
with a bad case of stage fright. That's not Rangel
having trouble cause I'm a little nervous. He let me try. Ah,
(24:26):
come in, Louis, What do you expect? Shuttered door? Wearing
look Martin, I said, shuttered door. I'll raise him? Why,
all right? You don't have to worry. I'm clean. I
don't believe in taking chances. That's not enough sporting blood.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I guess I'm yellow too, bad Georgie didn't have as
much Saint swirs. He moved the club chair on.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, gone, he was behind it, sad. Won't bring him back?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
You kill him?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well, while we are on this subject, where were you
at eleven thirty?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
He was waiting for me in my apartment? Nice. Look,
you better watch that mind, and you'd better watch yours.
All right, Hazel, where is it?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Where is what?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No? He got from Gallagher? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Won't give me that I wanted, honey, bunch him.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Nothing's gone. They'll keep me from and understand what no, no, no,
don't bother turning around, Martinez. It's only me Saunders. Don't
mind if I do, Martinez, But first drop the gun. Yeah,
it's a sweet heart. Do you want me to take
it out? No? No, no, don't trouble yourself wearing I
can manage. What happened to Georgie the same thing that
(25:32):
happened to Dixie Taylor. And he was such a sweet guy,
wasn't he? Well? By the way, when I walked in here,
Martinez was asking you a question. I don't remember your
answering it would you like to.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Now you'll never see a penny.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Of that month, Commandez, we're wasting time. Where is it
a better tile of angel I think he means business.
I do, and make no mistake about it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
He's under the middle cushion of his self.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Watch. Say where you are, Martinez. I'll do my own checking.
Oh no, isn't that pretty? Since Honda's I'm afraid I
haven't the time Louis to find it. Saunders, Yes he has, Hello,
sogeant him. My inspector sent me around to apologize. Oh
(26:13):
what happened? Twenty minutes ago?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
A call came through from Philly that that Saunders they
picked up There was this guy's cousin.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I thought there was something schooly playing. Well, if you
followed it on the in just a minute, where you're going, Martinez, Well,
like your figure, he's no point of mife hanging around you. No,
you better get used to it, Louis, You're gonna do
quite a bit of it from now on.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You'll kill Dixie Taylor and George Reynold. Oh crazy, Maybe
you're right here. I've got you hanging when any kid
knows that in New York they burn you, all right, Sergeant,
prove it to him. Nice, don't say it ain't well.
I was just going to ask me to explain things.
(26:54):
Oh well, I guess you're entitled to it. You see.
This was a modern version of thieves falling out. When
Louis Martinez saw how George double cross Saunders, it didn't
take him a loong the figure that he was next.
So he desired to beat your boyfriend of the punch.
First he killed Dixie, which made it look bad for Saunders,
and then to ensure his best he killed George.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Then why did he wait at the house for us?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well he had too. You were the only one who
knew where the money was stashed, and until he got it,
he committed two murders for nothing.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Well, couldn't have Saunders have done it.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Mm mm. I knew Martinez was the killer long before
Saunders ever showed up. Ah, but Marta told us he
hadn't called the police, so obviously there was no autopsy performed.
Yet he knew exactly what poison killed George and the
time he got it. Member he told me was the
phone that George didn't fed a dose of Fickton. And
now before I called, Well, now, how would he know
that unless he was right there feeding it to him?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Shall I tell you something I wish you wouldn't. I
lied to you about loving George. You see, otherwise I
was afraid you might suspect me.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh, I couldn't afford to Angel.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well you're much prettier than Martinez and Saunders.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Oh I I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, you see, I figured to wrap up this case
on midnights. And if you were guilty, what would I
do for a day? Faults? Here's sure pure enjoyment for
the whole family, Real honesty, goodness. Malted made with craft
Chocolate flavored malted milk. Easy to fix. Two. You just

on your shopping list for Tuesday. Enjoy it craft malted
