Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm terribly sorry, sir, but we close for the night.
Come on, that's taking me a break with this my
girl's birthday.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But I put all my stock away, and how long
would it take you to open?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You safe? I saw an engagement ring and you went
to this afternoon. That was just perfect an engagement ring. Yeah,
it was maked eight hundred and fifty dollars. You'll be
crazy about it. Well in that case, thanks a lot,
mister Vance. If you'll just wait a minute, sure do
you you happen to remember how much it weighed? One
and a half carrots? One and a half? I suppose
(03:29):
I wanted something bigger, say about four?
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Oh, I'm sure we could have come, did you?
Speaker 9 (03:34):
Here?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We are now?
Speaker 7 (03:37):
If you just look over this tree? Yeah, but why
don't I do it at home? But all right, Advance,
keep your hands in the showcase. This is a high start,
but really where they are.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You're making a grave mistake, young man. If you listen
to me, what's that I don't know? You don't know,
aren't you the cute when you stepped on the alarm?
Oh you couldn't leave?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Well and up alone?
Speaker 1 (04:08):

All right, better stick around man, you might learn something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
What have you got? Steve darn little? What about Vance?
He died an hour ago? Tough? Did he talk before
he went? Not much? Here's a description of his killer.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Blonde hair, blue eyes, five foot nine, small mole on right,
cheek V shaped scar on left, Chris V shaped scar.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's funny. What's so funny about it? Sounds like a
boy used to know Sam Francisco. Well, well, couldn't bet him.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Last I heard Mac was serving fire Attennis san Quentin.
Mac Who Mac McKenna? What made you think it's him?
That's scar he got in a knifing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But it couldn't be the same one, couldn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Suppose I told you that mister McKenna is now guesting
in our fair city. He's what he got it from
a stooley last week. He's living with his wife at
the Belmore. No it sounds too easy. Well, I'm gonna
pick him up just for luck. Come along and see
how it's done.

At you, Paul? All right, Wait a.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Minute, hello mac Hey, what I mean?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
So so now that we've got me identified, and like
you to meet Sergeant Steve Pulaski here. It looks like
you were right. Steve looks like, what are you bambling about?
Steve got a rumble you were in town. I thought
it was impossible. Last I heard you was still in
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I didn't like the climate.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I don't think you like New York's any better, particularly
on eighty fourth Street.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Come again.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The jewelry shop up there was heisted last night and
the proprietor was killed.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
How do you account for the fact that Steve found
your fingerprints on the showcase you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Why you walk loves well, you're nuts. Wait a minute,
I'll prove it to watch them, sergeants.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
All it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Boys wanted to get my coat. I don't strain yourself.
Get it, Mike, you better. Well what have we got here?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, and that's been fired recently. All right, sergeants, since
macaso fond of jewelry, let him try your bracelets for size.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
I'm gonna get you out.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You got a file in your bag.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I'll work it somehow. I'll get the best lawyer.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Save your money if I hired Lord Laura, I never
kidded you for a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I'm a going gosling. No, we got to face the facts.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
They got me dead to rights, They got my gun.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Someone ratted it was Paul.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Nothing of the kind was a fluke. Remember Mike wearing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
A private detective they called the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It seems that he represents the insurance company. He got lucky.
He saw the description band scared, and he thought of me.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It couldn't happen that way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But it didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't believe it. I got a feeling.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Paul, forget it. Paul had nothing to do with it.
It was Mike Wearing.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'll pay him back for this. I'll get him for you, Mack.
If it's the last thing I do.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't talk like it.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
I'll get him.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Don't ask me, but I'll manage it. Someway that you
can depend on.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
You're wasting your time, mister huh, mister Wearing ain't in.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's a nice heart, you do. I was supposed to
meet him. Here are you, Sergeant Plasky.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's right, well he told me to give you this note. Yes, Steve, sorry,
I had a rush off, but the insurance company wanted
to see me on the van seiset.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
The elevator boy will let you in bottling my desk.
Hep yourself you, Eddie, Yeah, that's right. Got a pass
key or do I use mine?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Hey? Sure, it'll be all right with mister Wearing here,
look for yourself.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Oyl let's yeah, I guess it's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Hey, thanks a lot, Eddie. You have been a great sergeant.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
Sergeant.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Now back to The Adventures of the Falcon. Three hours
have passed since Sergeant Steve Pulaski was killed while entering
Mike Whering's apartment, and now at the scene of the crime.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right, Doc, you can move the body anytime you want,
mind if I take a pic first, Sergeant, Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, he ain't gonna tell you anything. Mike. Whoever did
it wasn't taking any chances. They were probably standing right
by the closet.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, men at the door opened, they fired. Now that's
what your elevator boy said. Did Eddie get a peek
at the killer? I haven't talked to him yet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Well, what are we waiting for, Eddie? You want me,
mister Warning, come over here. I don't feel so good
and I don't blame you.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Oh you should have seen it, mister Wearing. It was
awful every time I think of it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Don't you better give him a drink? Yeah? I don't
want it. Come on, come on, this is good for
what ailed you? Now? Tell me exactly what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh, ill I I just opened the door for him
and he walked in.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Then there was the shot.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Go on, that's all I remember.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Didn't you see anyone in here?
Speaker 8 (10:52):
No?
Speaker 10 (10:52):
I just ran down the hall and got doctor Wilburn.
All I could think of was getting help. Please, mister Waring,
Can I go all right?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'll be downstairs if you want me.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He was a great help and did the best he
could call. But I can't tell you how sorry I
am about this. If I had been here, you would
have gotten it instead.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, I guess. So who do you know that loves
you this much? Offhand? I can't think of a soul on.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Mike, use your head. You must have annoyed someone recently.
When I do that once a week. Well what happened?
Took it real? Personally. The only one that comes to
my mind is Mac McKenna McKennon. I was representing the
insurance company and advanced jewelry stick up, And when Steve
described the killer, I thought of McKenna as a suspect.
Do you think, Mac, how my mental telepathy you got
(11:44):
him tucked away?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Saving sound?
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah? You got any of that stuff there?
Yeah hear it is all right? Thank you boy? Some collection.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Look at this A bill fold with eight bucks, a
badge service revolver and a bracelets.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ain't much wish Some of.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Those newspaper boys who keep yapping about crooked cops could
see this. Eh, what did Steve wanna see about? If
I know, Corbett call me from headquarters this morning and
set up the date. Any idea what it was now?
He didn't want to discuss it on the phone. I
got a hunch it was personal. Reminds me what somebody's
(12:24):
got to break the news to, Missus Pulaski. What you
mean Steve was married? Yeah, just a month ago. Oh fine, Well,
who's gonna tell her? You and I listen, cor But
come on, Mike, it's the least you can do. After all,
that bullet was intended for you. Okay, Sergeant, I'd rather
(12:45):
stop that slugl and do this. I got a feeling
this will be just as bad. Just a second, Missus Pilaski, Yes,
(13:08):
my name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
Oh of course, Steve often speaks of you want to
come here?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
H Steve isn't home right now, but I expect him
any minute. Oh I suppose I should apologize.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
For the looks of this place.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Oh no, I guess I'm not much of a housewife,
but I'll learn.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Sure he will now look at me.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Yacking away like crazy here, let me take your coat.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Please, don't bother. I can't stay long.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Well aren't you going to wait for Steve? Well, he'll
be awful disappointed if he missed you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Look, missus Pulaski, there's something I have to tell you.
What now, You've got to understand Steve was a cop
and in his business.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
What do you mean Steve was a cop?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Here? You better sit down.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Look, missus Pulaski, he's been hurt. Well is that it?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Where is he?
Speaker 9 (13:58):
I gotta go see you?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You can't, I mean I can't.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'm his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I know that, But you see what are you trying
to tell me he's dead?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm sorry he can't be. It was my falling directly.
You see. The killer was trying to get me.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Oh Steve.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
No, no, missus Pulaski, You've got to be brave.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Steve would want you to be brave.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I never wanted him to be a cop.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
If he listened to me, he couldn't have been anything else.
He was cut out for the job.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
He liked it.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
Oh, oh, please let me alone?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How can I get you?
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Anything.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Look, if it makes you feel any better, I promise
you I'll get the responsible party.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
Will that bring Steve back?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, I just want you to know.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
I know that my husband's dead. That's enough for me.
Now go away and leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Uh more coffee, mic, No, I've had enough. I did
go bad.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Say do you know if missus Pulaski has any relatives?
Not as far as I know. And I wonder what
she's gonna do. She doesn't look like a girl who's
used to working well. With Steve's insurance, the money from
the police pension fund, she'll do all right, I hope, so.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So help me call it up. That's the last thing
I do. I'll get him if I don't get him first. Say,
wait a minute, eh, why do we keep saying him? Huh?
We keep referring to the killer as a hymn. Couldn't
be a woman.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, you ought to know that her or him was
after you. Look, can you think of any dame you
loused up recently? What about McKenna's wife Huh? As I
recall she was very devoted to mac so, so she
might feel I was responsible for putting him away. This
could be her way of balancing the books. You're nuts
(16:15):
and was one way to find out. I'm going up
to see her. I'll let you know how I make out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, missus McKenna, that's right. I like a word with you.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You can't be that busy.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Look, mister, I don't know who you are.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Why not ask me?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Frankly, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
My name is Mike wearing.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Mike wearing what you.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Behave yourself to behave?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I imagine you're pretty surprised to see me, am I yeah, yes,
you kill the wrong boy. It was a police sergeant
named Steve PULASKI crazy. Doesn't the fact that I'm alive
convince you.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Look, you're crazy about Mac and you felt I was
instrumental and nailing him.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You wanted to get even, and I will know you won't. Laura,
in this league, you get one chance.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You muffed yours and get your coat with going places.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Laura?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh, then you admit you killed sergeant.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
For last, I admit nothing of the kind.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You tried to gun me, and when Steve walked in,
you didn't ask for credentials.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
You just blazed away.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Not doing any more talking.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You change your mind? I would you like to see
your husband?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I asked if you'd like to see Mac?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Could I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If you cooperate?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
All right, I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You were going to kill Wearing?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
That's right now?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Can I so you got into his apart? But you
got into his aparty?
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Oh my door was locked.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I used the fire escape.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I put you in my bedroom.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah? Now can I see Mag?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Would you promise me?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I promised you'd see him, you'd cooperate, But you're not.
How did you get into my apartment?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I told you through the fire escape.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
At least to the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
You got me mixed up. I meant the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What about the window there?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
It was open?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
No it wasn't. I just think I remember shutting it
before I left.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I want to see Mag.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, what do you say, Mike?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, Lois, take missus McKenna down to see her husband
and lock her up.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Thanks a lot, sergeant, you won't regret this.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well? Can you beat that? She means it? Yeah, she's
really mad for the guy.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
She must be to pull that silly stunt. Listen, Corbett,
I want you to do me a favor. Release her.
You nuts, You don't have to worry. She won't skip,
I can. I will hold her like a Magnet's the idea,
because I got a hunch I want to test, and
without missus McKenna on the loose, I.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Can't you and your hunches. Well, I don't think she's
telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
She admitted trying to get you. I know that, but
there's something about this that bothers me. You won't be
satisfied till she does kill you. All right, then you
can say I told you so. Now what do you say? Corbett?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
But if it doesn't pay off, I'll have your heart
with a little a one saw I said, ought to
be real tasty.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Yes, missus Pulaski, Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
This is Mike Wearing. How do you feel?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
How do you think I feel?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Well, I'm sorry. I only call to tell you that
we've finally got a line on Steve's murderer.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So, so wouldn't you like to know who it was?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well that brings Steve back?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, I suppose you're right. Still, I thought you'd be interested.
You see, this party was trying to kill me, and
I think she'll try again.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
What do you mean, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Believe this woman is motivated by revenge. If I'm right,
Steve's death doesn't satisfy her. Only mine will. That's how
he planned a naver. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
It doesn't matter what I think. All I know is
that Steve is gone.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Now let me alone.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Now, show me exactly what happened when Sergeant Pulaski came
here this afternoon.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Well, the first I saw him, he was banging on
your door. He looked kind of upset because you weren't in.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
That's when you gave him my note.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Yeah, then he told me you said it was all
right for him to wait inside.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Where were you standing at the time? Right about here?
Speaker 10 (21:00):
All right, go on, So I pulled out my past
key and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Show me how you mean you want me to go
through the.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Whole thing again.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I guess Steve was here?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, now, opened the door like you did. That's
how it was.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Then just as he stepped into the road, mister Warring,
mister Warring.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes
have passed since Mike and Eddie attempted to reenact the
murder of Sergeant Steve Pulaski. Unfortunately, the effect was almost
as dramatic.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, all right, Mike, now take a swig at this.
What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Will you tell me you were here? I guess, hey,
that shoulder is gonna be stiff for a week a mind. No, no, no, no, no,
no no, you just stay there.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The doc. I'm all right, Well, who was it? Us?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Me?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, didn't Eddie?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Eddie did exactly what he did the first time. He
ran off to get help.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Then he didn't see who fired the shot.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Now, yeah, I guess it's true about people repeating their mistakes.
So I get myself plugged for nothing. That's your own fault.
I told you, missus McKenna was her baby. It looks
like you were right. Well, I'm gonna put out a
call for Wait a minute, sergeant, I just thought of something.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What's the matter. You want to give her another chance?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
No, I tell you I've got it all figured out.
I know we can nail the killer for sure. How look,
I'm gonna need a little help. Where's my coat?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Don't please sell it. You're in no condition to travel.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'll survive, which is a lot more than I can
say for Steve's killer.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And I'll get my colt. Yes, hello, missus PULASKI remember.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Me, mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What happened my shoulder?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No, it's nothing, Yeah, yeah, this happens practically once a week.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh this is sergeant Corporate.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I can't tell you how sorry I am about Steve,
Missus Pulaski.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Maybe we of course, thanks.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
I suppose I should apologize, mister Wearing.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
What for?
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Well? I wasn't very courteous when you called.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh that's understandable. You were under a strain.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Have you made any progress?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, plenty. Why do you think I'm wearing my arm
in a sling?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Hella killer took a shot at me, but I was
luckier than Steve.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
Then you know who it was.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I think so we even got a confession.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'm glad you mentioned that, Sergeant, because I told you
there was something about it that bothered me.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well now I know what it was. Now what theres?
A phony?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Laura McKenna only made it so she could see her husband.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I don't understand you, see, missus.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
PULASKI originally we thought this was a plot to kill
me that misfired, So we went around looking for people
who disliked me.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
That's how he came up with missus McKennon.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, let's consider the actual result in the case. Now,
who was the victim?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
My husband?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, suppose it wasn't an accident at all. Suppose someone
was really after Steve. Do you see the possibilities?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well then we come up with a different group of suspects.
Do you remember the personal effects they found on his body?
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Yes, there was a wallet with eight dollars, a badge,
and a gun.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Or doesn't it strike you that there was something missing?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
But what happened to his skeleton? Keys?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They weren't on his body. Shall I tell you why?
Because the killer he was going to get into my apartment.
The killer knew that Steve was headed there to see me. Now,
who would have had the best opportunity to know of
that appointment and to.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Lift the keys?
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Who knew what?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yes, you were a real clever angel, but you made
one mistake and in this game, that's enough to put
you away.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
All right, Corbett? Prove it to her.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I can't get over it when I think it was
missus Pulaska.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
OUN's who it was, sergeant.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But why Mike, Well, she had big financial ideas.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh you mean, she knocks Steve off for his insurance.
Was as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What complicated the deal was that we thought I was
supposed to be the victim. That's why she made that
second attempt. That was calculated to make us all the
more certain that Steve was killed accidentally. You know, it's
a funny world here. We had two wives, when married
to a crook and the other to a cop. And
the crook's wife would have given her life for her husband, and.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The CoP's wife took his. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Well, fortunately it very seldom happens that way. But it
all goes to prove one thing, Eh what marriage may
be a great institution, but in some cases it can
be murdered.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Good night, Sergeant,
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Lois. I'm
glad you called. They have to give me a rain check. Angel.
Some people are throwing a brawl and they insist I attend.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
If I'm not there to be the life of the party,
They're going to be the death of me.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Once again. The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private
investigators everywhere, Those hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing,
risk their lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join
him now. When the Falcon solves the case of the
murdering Missus. It's early evening in New York and in
(00:55):
a shabby kitchen at the Belmore, a blonde named Laura
McKinnon prepares dinner for her man. But this is one
meal neither of the McKenna's are destined to eat.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
That you mag Yeah, wait a second, honey, Hi, Adela.
Speaker 5 (01:20):

Mag inted a beauty.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Hey, where'd that gun come from?
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Borrowed it from Paul. I'm going back in business. No, yeah,
Paul saw a good thing on eighty fourth Street, the
jewelry shop run by a.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Fellow named Vance, and he talked you into heisting it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They could have gotten a hundred guys.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I won't let you do it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Don't talk like you mean it.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Mag If anything happened to you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Nothing's gonna happen. A kid could handle this, John.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That's what you said in San Francisco before they sent
you up.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well it was an accident. Couldn't happen again.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Well, we're not gonna What do you suggest there's eight
bucks left in the kiddy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't want us to just get by.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
How do you think I feel when I see dames
you don't have half your looks parading around with furs
and diamond.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Do you hear me complaining I'm satisfied? Well I'm not.
You're not gonna do it, Mac. Let Paul get himself
another blook.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's enough. The discussion's over.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
You step off that door, so help me. I'll call
the cops.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm sorry, baby, No, you're right, Mac, I didn't mean
what I said.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You know, if anything happened.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Don't worry. I'll be back in an hour.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Let me go with you it'll be easier with the tool.
No you're afraid.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Oh I'm not afraid, but you'd only be in the way.
Give us a kiss for luck, baby, I'm off to work.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm terribly sorry, sir, but we close for the night.
Come on, that's taking me a break with this my
girl's birthday.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But I put all my stock away, and how long
would it take you to open?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You safe? I saw an engagement ring and you went
to this afternoon. That was just perfect an engagement ring. Yeah,
it was maked eight hundred and fifty dollars. You'll be
crazy about it. Well in that case, thanks a lot,
mister Vance. If you'll just wait a minute, sure do
you you happen to remember how much it weighed? One
and a half carrots? One and a half? I suppose
(03:29):
I wanted something bigger, say about four?
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Oh, I'm sure we could have come, did you?
Speaker 9 (03:34):
Here?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We are now?
Speaker 7 (03:37):
If you just look over this tree? Yeah, but why
don't I do it at home? But all right, Advance,
keep your hands in the showcase. This is a high start,
but really where they are.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You're making a grave mistake, young man. If you listen
to me, what's that I don't know? You don't know,
aren't you the cute when you stepped on the alarm?
Oh you couldn't leave?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Well and up alone?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
All right you fellas. Let's hurry it up and get
out of here. Myers. Be sure you get a shot
of the showcase. Greetings men, Oh no, wouldn't you know it?
Sergeant Pulaski wes Corp. He's lucky, he's got a day off.
What are you doing here? Wearing I represent the insurance company? Well, fellas,
you can all go home now. The falcon is on
(04:31):
the case.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
All right, better stick around man, you might learn something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
What have you got? Steve darn little? What about Vance?
He died an hour ago? Tough? Did he talk before
he went? Not much? Here's a description of his killer.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Blonde hair, blue eyes, five foot nine, small mole on right,
cheek V shaped scar on left, Chris V shaped scar.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's funny. What's so funny about it? Sounds like a
boy used to know Sam Francisco. Well, well, couldn't bet him.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Last I heard Mac was serving fire Attennis san Quentin.
Mac Who Mac McKenna? What made you think it's him?
That's scar he got in a knifing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But it couldn't be the same one, couldn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Suppose I told you that mister McKenna is now guesting
in our fair city. He's what he got it from
a stooley last week. He's living with his wife at
the Belmore. No it sounds too easy. Well, I'm gonna
pick him up just for luck. Come along and see
how it's done.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
At you, Paul? All right, Wait a.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Minute, hello mac Hey, what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
No, I can't say I do. The name is Wearing.
We met on the coast some years back.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So so now that we've got me identified, and like
you to meet Sergeant Steve Pulaski here. It looks like
you were right. Steve looks like, what are you bambling about?
Steve got a rumble you were in town. I thought
it was impossible. Last I heard you was still in
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I didn't like the climate.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I don't think you like New York's any better, particularly
on eighty fourth Street.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Come again.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The jewelry shop up there was heisted last night and
the proprietor was killed.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
How do you account for the fact that Steve found
your fingerprints on the showcase you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Why you walk loves well, you're nuts. Wait a minute,
I'll prove it to watch them, sergeants.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
All it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Boys wanted to get my coat. I don't strain yourself.
Get it, Mike, you better. Well what have we got here?

Mag Hei, Laura, you're gonna have ten minutes.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Let me look at you. How are you?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Honey?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That changed much.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I'm gonna get you out.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You got a file in your bag.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
I'll work it somehow. I'll get the best lawyer.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Save your money if I hired Lord Laura, I never
kidded you for a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I'm a going gosling. No, we got to face the facts.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
They got me dead to rights, They got my gun.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Someone ratted it was Paul.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Nothing of the kind was a fluke. Remember Mike wearing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
A private detective they called the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It seems that he represents the insurance company. He got lucky.
He saw the description band scared, and he thought of me.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It couldn't happen that way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But it didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't believe it. I got a feeling.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Paul, forget it. Paul had nothing to do with it.
It was Mike Wearing.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'll pay him back for this. I'll get him for you, Mack.
If it's the last thing I do.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't talk like it.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
I'll get him.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Don't ask me, but I'll manage it. Someway that you
can depend on.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
You're wasting your time, mister huh, mister Wearing ain't in.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's a nice heart, you do. I was supposed to
meet him. Here are you, Sergeant Plasky.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's right, well he told me to give you this note. Yes, Steve, sorry,
I had a rush off, but the insurance company wanted
to see me on the van seiset.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
The elevator boy will let you in bottling my desk.
Hep yourself you, Eddie, Yeah, that's right. Got a pass
key or do I use mine?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Hey? Sure, it'll be all right with mister Wearing here,
look for yourself.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Oyl let's yeah, I guess it's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Hey, thanks a lot, Eddie. You have been a great sergeant.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
Sergeant.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Now back to The Adventures of the Falcon. Three hours
have passed since Sergeant Steve Pulaski was killed while entering
Mike Whering's apartment, and now at the scene of the crime.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right, Doc, you can move the body anytime you want,
mind if I take a pic first, Sergeant, Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, he ain't gonna tell you anything. Mike. Whoever did
it wasn't taking any chances. They were probably standing right
by the closet.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, men at the door opened, they fired. Now that's
what your elevator boy said. Did Eddie get a peek
at the killer? I haven't talked to him yet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Well, what are we waiting for, Eddie? You want me,
mister Warning, come over here. I don't feel so good
and I don't blame you.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Oh you should have seen it, mister Wearing. It was
awful every time I think of it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Don't you better give him a drink? Yeah? I don't
want it. Come on, come on, this is good for
what ailed you? Now? Tell me exactly what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh, ill I I just opened the door for him
and he walked in.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Then there was the shot.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Go on, that's all I remember.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Didn't you see anyone in here?
Speaker 8 (10:52):
No?
Speaker 10 (10:52):
I just ran down the hall and got doctor Wilburn.
All I could think of was getting help. Please, mister Waring,
Can I go all right?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'll be downstairs if you want me.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He was a great help and did the best he
could call. But I can't tell you how sorry I
am about this. If I had been here, you would
have gotten it instead.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, I guess. So who do you know that loves
you this much? Offhand? I can't think of a soul on.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Mike, use your head. You must have annoyed someone recently.
When I do that once a week. Well what happened?
Took it real? Personally. The only one that comes to
my mind is Mac McKenna McKennon. I was representing the
insurance company and advanced jewelry stick up, And when Steve
described the killer, I thought of McKenna as a suspect.
Do you think, Mac, how my mental telepathy you got
(11:44):
him tucked away?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Saving sound?
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah? You got any of that stuff there?
Yeah hear it is all right? Thank you boy? Some collection.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Look at this A bill fold with eight bucks, a
badge service revolver and a bracelets.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ain't much wish Some of.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Those newspaper boys who keep yapping about crooked cops could
see this. Eh, what did Steve wanna see about? If
I know, Corbett call me from headquarters this morning and
set up the date. Any idea what it was now?
He didn't want to discuss it on the phone. I
got a hunch it was personal. Reminds me what somebody's
(12:24):
got to break the news to, Missus Pulaski. What you
mean Steve was married? Yeah, just a month ago. Oh fine, Well,
who's gonna tell her? You and I listen, cor But
come on, Mike, it's the least you can do. After all,
that bullet was intended for you. Okay, Sergeant, I'd rather
(12:45):
stop that slugl and do this. I got a feeling
this will be just as bad. Just a second, Missus Pilaski, Yes,
(13:08):
my name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
Oh of course, Steve often speaks of you want to
come here?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
H Steve isn't home right now, but I expect him
any minute. Oh I suppose I should apologize.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
For the looks of this place.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Oh no, I guess I'm not much of a housewife,
but I'll learn.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Sure he will now look at me.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Yacking away like crazy here, let me take your coat.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Please, don't bother. I can't stay long.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Well aren't you going to wait for Steve? Well, he'll
be awful disappointed if he missed you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Look, missus Pulaski, there's something I have to tell you.
What now, You've got to understand Steve was a cop
and in his business.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
What do you mean Steve was a cop?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Here? You better sit down.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Look, missus Pulaski, he's been hurt. Well is that it?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Where is he?
Speaker 9 (13:58):
I gotta go see you?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You can't, I mean I can't.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'm his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I know that, But you see what are you trying
to tell me he's dead?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm sorry he can't be. It was my falling directly.
You see. The killer was trying to get me.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Oh Steve.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
No, no, missus Pulaski, You've got to be brave.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Steve would want you to be brave.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I never wanted him to be a cop.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
If he listened to me, he couldn't have been anything else.
He was cut out for the job.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
He liked it.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
Oh, oh, please let me alone?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How can I get you?
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Anything.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Look, if it makes you feel any better, I promise
you I'll get the responsible party.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
Will that bring Steve back?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, I just want you to know.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
I know that my husband's dead. That's enough for me.
Now go away and leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Uh more coffee, mic, No, I've had enough. I did
go bad.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Say do you know if missus Pulaski has any relatives?
Not as far as I know. And I wonder what
she's gonna do. She doesn't look like a girl who's
used to working well. With Steve's insurance, the money from
the police pension fund, she'll do all right, I hope, so.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So help me call it up. That's the last thing
I do. I'll get him if I don't get him first. Say,
wait a minute, eh, why do we keep saying him? Huh?
We keep referring to the killer as a hymn. Couldn't
be a woman.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, you ought to know that her or him was
after you. Look, can you think of any dame you
loused up recently? What about McKenna's wife Huh? As I
recall she was very devoted to mac so, so she
might feel I was responsible for putting him away. This
could be her way of balancing the books. You're nuts
(16:15):
and was one way to find out. I'm going up
to see her. I'll let you know how I make out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, missus McKenna, that's right. I like a word with you.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You can't be that busy.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Look, mister, I don't know who you are.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Why not ask me?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Frankly, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
My name is Mike wearing.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Mike wearing what you.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Behave yourself to behave?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I imagine you're pretty surprised to see me, am I yeah, yes,
you kill the wrong boy. It was a police sergeant
named Steve PULASKI crazy. Doesn't the fact that I'm alive
convince you.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Look, you're crazy about Mac and you felt I was
instrumental and nailing him.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You wanted to get even, and I will know you won't. Laura,
in this league, you get one chance.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You muffed yours and get your coat with going places.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Laura?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh, then you admit you killed sergeant.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
For last, I admit nothing of the kind.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You tried to gun me, and when Steve walked in,
you didn't ask for credentials.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
You just blazed away.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Not doing any more talking.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You change your mind? I would you like to see
your husband?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I asked if you'd like to see Mac?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Could I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If you cooperate?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
All right, I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You were going to kill Wearing?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
That's right now?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Can I so you got into his apart? But you
got into his aparty?
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Oh my door was locked.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I used the fire escape.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I put you in my bedroom.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah? Now can I see Mag?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Would you promise me?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I promised you'd see him, you'd cooperate, But you're not.
How did you get into my apartment?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I told you through the fire escape.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
At least to the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
You got me mixed up. I meant the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What about the window there?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
It was open?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
No it wasn't. I just think I remember shutting it
before I left.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I want to see Mag.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, what do you say, Mike?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, Lois, take missus McKenna down to see her husband
and lock her up.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Thanks a lot, sergeant, you won't regret this.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well? Can you beat that? She means it? Yeah, she's
really mad for the guy.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
She must be to pull that silly stunt. Listen, Corbett,
I want you to do me a favor. Release her.
You nuts, You don't have to worry. She won't skip,
I can. I will hold her like a Magnet's the idea,
because I got a hunch I want to test, and
without missus McKenna on the loose, I.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Can't you and your hunches. Well, I don't think she's
telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
She admitted trying to get you. I know that, but
there's something about this that bothers me. You won't be
satisfied till she does kill you. All right, then you
can say I told you so. Now what do you say? Corbett?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
But if it doesn't pay off, I'll have your heart
with a little a one saw I said, ought to
be real tasty.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Yes, missus Pulaski, Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
This is Mike Wearing. How do you feel?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
How do you think I feel?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Well, I'm sorry. I only call to tell you that
we've finally got a line on Steve's murderer.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So, so wouldn't you like to know who it was?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well that brings Steve back?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, I suppose you're right. Still, I thought you'd be interested.
You see, this party was trying to kill me, and
I think she'll try again.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
What do you mean, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Believe this woman is motivated by revenge. If I'm right,
Steve's death doesn't satisfy her. Only mine will. That's how
he planned a naver. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
It doesn't matter what I think. All I know is
that Steve is gone.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Now let me alone.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Now, show me exactly what happened when Sergeant Pulaski came
here this afternoon.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Well, the first I saw him, he was banging on
your door. He looked kind of upset because you weren't in.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
That's when you gave him my note.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Yeah, then he told me you said it was all
right for him to wait inside.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Where were you standing at the time? Right about here?
Speaker 10 (21:00):
All right, go on, So I pulled out my past
key and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Show me how you mean you want me to go
through the.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Whole thing again.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I guess Steve was here?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, now, opened the door like you did. That's
how it was.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Then just as he stepped into the road, mister Warring,
mister Warring.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes
have passed since Mike and Eddie attempted to reenact the
murder of Sergeant Steve Pulaski. Unfortunately, the effect was almost
as dramatic.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, all right, Mike, now take a swig at this.
What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Will you tell me you were here? I guess, hey,
that shoulder is gonna be stiff for a week a mind. No, no, no, no, no,
no no, you just stay there.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The doc. I'm all right, Well, who was it? Us?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Me?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, didn't Eddie?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Eddie did exactly what he did the first time. He
ran off to get help.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Then he didn't see who fired the shot.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Now, yeah, I guess it's true about people repeating their mistakes.
So I get myself plugged for nothing. That's your own fault.
I told you, missus McKenna was her baby. It looks
like you were right. Well, I'm gonna put out a
call for Wait a minute, sergeant, I just thought of something.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What's the matter. You want to give her another chance?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
No, I tell you I've got it all figured out.
I know we can nail the killer for sure. How look,
I'm gonna need a little help. Where's my coat?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Don't please sell it. You're in no condition to travel.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'll survive, which is a lot more than I can
say for Steve's killer.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And I'll get my colt. Yes, hello, missus PULASKI remember.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Me, mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What happened my shoulder?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No, it's nothing, Yeah, yeah, this happens practically once a week.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh this is sergeant Corporate.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I can't tell you how sorry I am about Steve,
Missus Pulaski.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Maybe we of course, thanks.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
I suppose I should apologize, mister Wearing.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
What for?
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Well? I wasn't very courteous when you called.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh that's understandable. You were under a strain.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Have you made any progress?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, plenty. Why do you think I'm wearing my arm
in a sling?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Hella killer took a shot at me, but I was
luckier than Steve.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
Then you know who it was.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I think so we even got a confession.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'm glad you mentioned that, Sergeant, because I told you
there was something about it that bothered me.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well now I know what it was. Now what theres?
A phony?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Laura McKenna only made it so she could see her husband.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I don't understand you, see, missus.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
PULASKI originally we thought this was a plot to kill
me that misfired, So we went around looking for people
who disliked me.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
That's how he came up with missus McKennon.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, let's consider the actual result in the case. Now,
who was the victim?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
My husband?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, suppose it wasn't an accident at all. Suppose someone
was really after Steve. Do you see the possibilities?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well then we come up with a different group of suspects.
Do you remember the personal effects they found on his body?
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Yes, there was a wallet with eight dollars, a badge,
and a gun.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Or doesn't it strike you that there was something missing?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
But what happened to his skeleton? Keys?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They weren't on his body. Shall I tell you why?
Because the killer he was going to get into my apartment.
The killer knew that Steve was headed there to see me. Now,
who would have had the best opportunity to know of
that appointment and to.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Lift the keys?
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Who knew what?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yes, you were a real clever angel, but you made
one mistake and in this game, that's enough to put
you away.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
All right, Corbett? Prove it to her.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I can't get over it when I think it was
missus Pulaska.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
OUN's who it was, sergeant.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But why Mike, Well, she had big financial ideas.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh you mean, she knocks Steve off for his insurance.
Was as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What complicated the deal was that we thought I was
supposed to be the victim. That's why she made that
second attempt. That was calculated to make us all the
more certain that Steve was killed accidentally. You know, it's
a funny world here. We had two wives, when married
to a crook and the other to a cop. And
the crook's wife would have given her life for her husband, and.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The CoP's wife took his. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Well, fortunately it very seldom happens that way. But it
all goes to prove one thing, Eh what marriage may
be a great institution, but in some cases it can
be murdered.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Good night, Sergeant,
