Muscle Rine. It's early Sunday morning and the streets of
Manhattan are deserted save for a broad shouldered young man
named Al Compton who strolls down East eighty six Street
and heads for home. But unknown to mister Compton, he
has company. Twenty feet behind him is a tall, lean
(01:26):
gent who matches him step for step, and only after
Compton has gone two blocks is he aware of his shadow.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All right, friend, what's the idea? Speaking of me?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Why it's hailing me daily?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Why should I want to do a thing like that.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's what I want to know. You're imagining things content. Yeah,
and how come you know my name? Oh, you're a celebrity.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Everybody knows Ken Brady and the fellow he's groom and

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Why it's one of the big success stories of.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
A who do you think you're a kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Okay, Compton, I'll put it to you straight. You're going
right home. Why a friend of mine wants to talk
to you. Oh, Nick Daniels.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What does Daniels want with me?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Then you've heard of the boys?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
And you know that Daniels ain't No too bid up?
I know its territory is Indianapolis. What's he doing in
New York? That's what he wants to talk to you about.
I got a car around the corner.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I never take rides with strangers, well counting as far
as I'm concerned. You can keep on walking and Heaven
bless you. But Daniels said, Eddie, you bring Compton to
my place, so you see the position that puts me.
That's sure tough luck, Oh friend.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You must really enjoy your work. Dye whatt you hit
him with? Nick, I heard it. It could be the cops. Now,
Braddy wouldn't have missed the miss mast You want me? No, no, no, no,
I'll take care of it. You look at our friend
here just a second, I'm coming, hello, Nick.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What are you doing here? Claire?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I thought I left you in Indianapolis.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Well, you are such an irresistible creature. I had to
follow you. I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You'll have to pick another time. I'm all jammed out
with what.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Well, well, what goes on under our little roof?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's none of your business?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Now?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Will you leave that handsome hunk of man on the bed?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Al Compton did not tend you to be did all.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Right, darling? If you don't want me.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To stay, ah holder, Claire, I had changed my mind.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I thought that was a woman for Rodya.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You wouldn't be thinking of going up to see his boss,
Ken Brady, would you?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Would you mind very much?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You don't want to jump to conclusions, Claire. Mister Compton
just dropped into chat. He had a couple too many
and he passed out.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
That hard stuff is awful, isn'tess, especially when you get
it from the end of a blackjack.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Now listen, Claire your what's it worth to you? What's
what worth to me?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Keeping my mouth shut?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
A thousand dollars? Oh no, Nick, I make your mind baby.
If you don't want it, that's all right with me too.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yeah, don't be cheap, Donnie. After all, in your bracket,
how much can you keep?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I said, I'll give you a grand take it or
leave it.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I'll take it, though I'd like to try, but too.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You're gonna talk all night with that, dame.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Would just a second, Eddie, listen, Claire, I want you
to take a little walk for a while.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Come back in a couple of hours. Four thirty are
our five will be even better.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
And you'll have that money ready, I.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Said I would.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Okay, Eddie, get them up here, come.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
On jumping, wake up, let me alone. Mind you have
to go back to sleep at the boss.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Hello comet. Oh you Nick Daniels, aren't you? That's right?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I'm already sorry about this, fellow, but I hadn't tell you.
Now I've got a proposition for your Compton.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm not interested. Want to cheer me on.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I've been doing a little checking up on you. They
tell me you're Brady's fair haired boy. Tweat you like
his own son. So I'm going to show you how
to commercialize on it. Now, I'd like to open up
a couple of gambling clubs around town.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Are you're crazy you think Brady would stand for it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, he's in the business, that's just it. He's not
going to be in business much longer.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What do you mean we're going to knock off his
club regularly? What? Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And when his customers see the rough stuff that goes on,
I don't think they'll.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Be flocking there anymore. Already in mind, Daniels, you don't
think it will work. Now we get spotts all over
the place. It so I'm like a fortress.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
How are you going to get your.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Boys past the guards? That's where you come in. Do
you think I'd sell out.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Brady after all he's done.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think you'd sell out your own mother.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
If the price will run, you can take your money.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He's talking about money. There are other things in life
besides that, and not makes sense. Have you heard of
a man named Sam Richards? No funny. I found a
guy in mobile who was willing to identify he was
the lad who killed Richards in a fight over some girl.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's a lie.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Seems this friend of mine was living across the street
and saw the whole thing from his window. You're bluffing,
you think, So what take a look at these pictures?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Where did you get him? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I forgot to mention that this friend of mine is
a camera enthusiast and he thought a picture of you
bending over the body might come in.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But you're not frightening me. Daniel's Brady knows all about
that mess.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, but the cops don't. What do you say, Compton?
Do you cooperate when when I get the pictures, don't.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Give them a thought. I'll deliver right after you do. Sorry, Judy,
you see you see the spot on anyther way? I'm
a dead duck.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
What does this Nick Daniels have on you important? It
can't be if you told him you cross this? And Judy,
I swear all this happened long before I ever met you.
Why can't you tell me what it is?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I just can't.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's all. Just take my word for it that Daniels
wasn't sounding off. If I double cross him, it can
mean my life.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What can I do? When I came to New York,
I was a bum. Brady took a liking to me.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
He gave me a job. You mean you're gonna tell
him about Nick Daniel? Yes, no, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Out you got a better idea?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yes, why don't we leave town?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
How far do you think we'd get Daniels probably as
a boy now watching the hotel?
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Then why don't you do what Daniels wants? Brady had
never suspect?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Did you forget it?
Speaker 7 (07:40):
If you really loved me, then don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
To Brett's get out of my way?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
To Judy, No, I won't let you go out.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You can't stop me.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I can try l.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Go away. Nobody here? Yeah, let me talk to Mike
Wearing here?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What's amatter?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Kids? Did I wake him? Oh? That's a pretty ridiculous question.
CORBYT What do you want?
Speaker 8 (08:16):
That's no way to talk to a guy who's going
to do you a favor.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Look, such, I don't like guys doing me favors at
three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
In the morning.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Okay, Mike, if you don't want to meet her, what are.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You babbling about?
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I just picked up a little number who's out of
her mind to meet the faulcon You interested?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Nope? She's blonde, five feet too. I said, I wasn't
this here that would put venus to shame. Oh what's
her name? Judy Wayne Wright? Never heard of her?
Speaker 8 (08:41):
You're well she just killed al Compton.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Ken Brady's boy. That's right. She wants to hire you.
Is that why you call me? Yeah, I'll tell miss
Wayne Right. I'm not interested. Ah, you're being smart, Mike.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
What do you mean, Well, strictly between you and me
and the guy who's hiding under your racing form. This
girl hasn't got a prayer, not a chance. She's up
the well known creek without a paddle. I bet the
jury won't take twenty minutes to strap her into the chair.
I want to hear the story she tried to give us.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No, never mind, Slegeant. You always follow up a story.
Tell miss Waynewright. I will be able to hear it myself.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And now back to the adventures of the Falcon. An
hour has passed since Sergeant Corbett, acting at the behest
of Judy Wainwright, got in touch with Mike Wearings, and
now at a local jail, how the Falcon listens, Miss
Wainwright talks for herself.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
You've got to believe me, mister Wearing. I didn't kill al.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And now come you didn't see the murderer because my
back was to the door and you didn't hear it open. No,
but how do you explain the gun being found in
the room.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
The killer must have thrown it in.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
How did your fingerprints get on it?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I don't remember. I was so dazed, I probably picked
it up without thinking.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And they weren't so dazed that you couldn't pack a
bag and head for the nearest bus line, where the
cops grabbed you.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I tell you I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You had a fight with Compton, didn't you?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
No, I was crazy about it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And how come the people next door heard you arguing?
Corvitt tells me they heard Compton say he was walking.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Out on you and you would't let him go.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Did you or didn't you say you were going to
stop him?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
What is this a third degree? Just what side are
you on, mister Waring?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I haven't decided.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Well, if that's the way you feel, I'll get someone else.
Falcon's not the only private detective in.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Town, Okay, Angel, no hard feelings he started?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
No, wait, mister worry Yeah, I'll tell you anything you
want to know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Okay, I suppose we start with the last question.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
I asked, Well, Al and I were arguing, but it
wasn't over what you think Al worked for Ken Brady.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're not telling me anything. You Well, late last.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Night a man came down with a proposition. Either Al
helped him ruin Brady's club or.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Else or else what?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
It was blackmail of some sort.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What was compat's decision?
Speaker 9 (11:21):
He was going to tell Brady the whole story, even
though it meant his life. That's why I wouldn't let
him go.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And would you know the name of the party who
tried to blackjack him into line?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was Nick Daniels, the gentleman from Indianapolis, I think, so.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, but I've always wanted to and this may be
my chance.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hey, Satan, I went out.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Want me to get that Nick, no trouble. Hello, Yes,
just a minute, it is your Indianapolis call Nick.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
The operator says.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
She's ready with Wilson.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Just tell him I won't need those strong arm men.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I asked him for anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, I'll just say I'll be back in a couple
of days, Hie, All right on, Claire, I'll take care
of him.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Hello Wilson. Nick asked me to relation go to you.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, hello Nick? Do I know you are not like
you're going to? My name is Mike Wearing. Oh the fuck?
And what do you want with me? But I'm working
for a girl named Judy Wainwright. I don't believe I
know her. She was engaged to al Compton. Oh too bad?
(12:45):
It was broken then you know he was murdered, and
sure I heard it on the radio. Sad wasn't as very.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It doesn't strike you strange that he should be knocked
off right after you worked on him to double cross Brady?
Who told you that little birdie? What's this little birdie's name?
Tell what difference does that make? It's got a long tongue.
Maybe somebody ought to pull it out, Eddie, first game right,
get your hands off me?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What are you doing to get your hands off me?
The first time.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You come on breaking, I said, breaking up? Quit playing around?
Eddie used to say, Oh you don't can he's got
my arm. One of that case, I'll have to take
a hand you all right, Eddie feels like he tore
it out of it suck at the make him.
Speaker 7 (13:42):

Speaker 2 (14:19):
He don't think I'll tell you, sure right, Bill, but
you're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Okay, Eddie, take off his shoes. Hey, what's the idea.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm going to show you how we make it hot
for guys like you back in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You wouldn't no watch and see you gotta match it
in shure?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
No, Nick, Well, he still ain't talking.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now, How am I going to find out who told
him I got the Compton? Maybe he just gutted nah, noah, No,
you don't guess things like that, Eddie. Somebody's been talking
out of turn. Maybe it was clad. Maybe not again,
maybe it was you, But what kind of a crack
is that class tarted to make a grand of things broken?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Right? So take it anywhay you like?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
All right, Nick, as long as you mentioned it?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Where do white stand in this deal?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I told you that before, before things were different, I
was supposed to get five percent of everything you made
in New York. So so right now, the best you
can hope for us to keep your health. If Frady
ever hears of this stunt, you won't live long enough
to regret it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Where does that leave me?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The same place it leaves me?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well, not quite. You got dough? I haven't. That's tough,
but only on you. What's the idea of the gun? Eddie?
I want ten grand for my trouble? Wh you heard me?
I haven't got it here. Don't tell me that. I'll
let you look at my wallet.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I'm fresh air.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Of course, we plenty to start operating. You've got plenty
more in your safe, sure, but that's down in the office.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
All right. Let's go to the office, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And then when a fella's got something coming to him,
I'd be the last one to stop him from getting it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Let me get my coat.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Oh, oh, take it easy hand, So you're gonna be
all right?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Who are you?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Cannot be very flattering, mister wearing. I was kind of
hoping you noticed me when you first came in.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh I did?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You had me worried for a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I thought I was slipping the And what time is it?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Quarter of nine?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I mean I've been alone here for almost three.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Hours alone, honey, I've been keeping you company.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh, how lucky me. What's your name?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Atl Claire?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now what's the rest of it?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Aims? Miss Claire?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Aims? Since when has it been? Miss m wasn't so
long ago? You were wearing a wedding ring there?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Who tells you that?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh I'm clairvoyant? Beside? You still got a band of
white on your left hand? Oh yeah, I see how
simple it is. Who is a lucky man?
Speaker 6 (17:10):
What difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Because I've got a feeling it was Nick Daniels.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
How did you know that?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh, just a hunch he was still married to the guy.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, but don't give up, Hope Hanson. I don't think
it'll left. I've been thinking of Ringo for quite a while.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
How would Nick like that?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
How'd you get into this mess anyway.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
It promised me a thousand dollars about help. I needed
the money?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Did he and Eddie kill l compan use your head?
What was that percentage?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Compton?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Was there boy? Or where are they now?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
They left about two hours ago from Nick's office?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What do they do with my shoes?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't be a fool wearing You can't hobble around in
your condition.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
He just lies Still, I'll get a doctor. Uh, don't
you bother? I live through it, too bad. I can't
say as much for your husband. What's Nick's office? Claire?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Last one down the hall? Uh? Loove, Mike? What's your
interest in this case?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Is not obvious?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I'm looking for our Coppin's murderer. Why because I've got
a client named Judy Wainwright. The police think did it?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I see you?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yes, So that's where the league was. Huh. That's how
you knew that Nick approached Constance?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
And the police think that your client is guilty?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
What makes you so sure she isn't?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh? I don't call it blind faith.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I wish I could find someone to believe in me
that way.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Well, maybe we could work out a deal. Yeah, it's
the place yes, who's the Star Trading Company?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
That's the name Nick is using in New York.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Uh, well, I guess there's nobody that's the matter. I
spoke too soon. The door's open. Uh light twitch, I've
got it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, awfully careless of mister Nick Daniels leave his office
in this condition.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Doesn't it strike you as being sloppy? No? So obviously
we both can't be looking at the same thing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And the first thing I noticed was that open closet,
and the next thing I saw, Honey, that's who it is, Claire.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
What what's wrong with him?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Just to mention one thing, he's dead. Hand me the phone, Agel,
I got to call the police.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
He sis pree saying, sorry, don't carpet speaking.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Corbett is Mike wearing.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Wow, I've been keeping yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Your client's been asking for you.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I did tell miss Wayne right, he's got nothing to
worry about. I'll be down in five.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Minutes with the proof that she didn't kill Compton.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
What do you call proof?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I just found Eddie nichols body.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Say that again.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I just found Eddie Nichols body. Nick Daniels, boy, someone
let them have a butcher knife right in the back.
Why did you find him in Nick's office?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
How do you figure that clere's miss Waynwright.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll explain it all when I see you, Sergeant. It
stands the reason the same party who killed Alcompton killed Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
I still don't see how that gives the girling out.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, come off, But what's wrong with you? Corbett?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
That has been dead for less than an hour, and
for the last five you've had my client in the
lock and key.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I guess again. Miss Wainwright raised ten grand worth of
bail at seven o'clock tonight. That was three hours ago.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
You're joking.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
If you think so, will you hear the payoff? The
guy who put up the doll is a gentleman named
Nick Daniels. Ain't that enough to kill you?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Back to the Adventures of the Folcon. My whole power
has passed since Mike wearings the news that Judy Wainwright's
bail was furnished by Nick Daniels and now with her
gorgeous missus Daniels in told the Falcon tries to locate
the good.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Beater that Sint Claire. I'm not sure Daniels wouldn't go
any place for this apartment.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Well, is he the here or results?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But the doorman said he hasn't been back since he left. Yes,
obviously he knew where.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Well, I guess the only thing to do is to.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That seems like a smart idea.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I want to drake when here's to what we both want?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Wait a minute, then, does Nick have a hotel suitet anywhere?
Not that I know of? Where could he have taken Judy?
Why are you so worried about her? You don't know
how important that little lady is my scheme of things.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
You think she killed Compton Eddy?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, Judy, where's Nick right behind? So trying to be
funny and you know what will happen?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Why did you want to bear you out? Judy?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
God, you send him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You'll forgive me for using your name?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Friend? How did you find out about her?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm a gambler wearing I play hunches. This one paid
off right on my nose.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Speaking of hunches, Nick, I've got a honey of my own.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling that one of the
things you're not expecting is this.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Get down, Judy. That's not nice.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nick, not got that? Come on, prop it cut it on,
get breaking my arm and I'm gonna start.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
On your neck.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I stop it, call me Claire.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You'll kill him.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's the general idea. Come on, Nick, get up.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Send him be Mike. He didn't kill Al Compton? No, no,
how would he know Compton was going to doublecross him?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
And tell Brady?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I tell you Nick had no motive.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Who said he did what? I never claimed he had
a motive. Player, I just don't like this guy in
general principles.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
I don't get you.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Well, I'll see if this is any better. You killed
Al Compton? Crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
What's more, you killed Eddy Nichols when he stumbled on
the truth. I don't struggle, Angel, because now that I
finished with mister Daniels, that just as soon started on
this missus.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
So it was Claire who was the villain of the piece.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
But why did she kill Al? She had nothing against him.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh that's what made this almost a perfect.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Crime, Judy.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
She had no motive, but her husband didn't. I mean
it was a frame, that's right, Angel.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You see, if Claire played ball with her husband or
she stood the game was one thousand dollars. But if
Nick went to the chair for the murder of Al
and Eddie, then as his widow.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
She stood to come into a fortune.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Na, you've got it. While I was out cold. She
followed Eddie and her husband to the office, where she
let Eddie heap it.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
And you mean to tell me Nick just stood by
and did nothing?
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
What was your reaction when you saw Al die?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Hm?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I recall you were a little on the bewildered side.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Why was the same thing happened to Nick?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
But didn't Claire say she was with you while Eddie
and Nick were gone?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, what could you expect her to do? Break down
and confess? After that? Going over? I got it, I
was in no condition to tell whether or not she
was lying.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Well, I still find it hard to believe she was
in that hotel room while I.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Was arguing with Al.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Why you bolthso worked up you didn't notice the door
open all? Now admit it?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
You're guessing.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, No, she had to be in that room, Judy.
You see, she knew something she never could have known otherwise,
that Al was planning to double cross Nick by telling.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
His boss the whole story.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Now, Nick didn't know that the only reason he was
giving up the scheme of breaking Brady was.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That with Al dead, it didn't stand a chance of working.
Not it clear?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I see good.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
I only wish there was some way I could pay
you for all you've done.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh there is?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
How well, I don't think this is the proper time
to go into that.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
A private detective liked to keep his fee strictly between
him and his client, And I could a feeling my
being overheard.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Wait, were alone
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Louis, I'm glad
to call. How are you like to calm me out?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Tonight? Angel?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Some boy and all things committing murder. It's a sure
way to make a fortune. And unless I can convince
him otherwise, he's going to make a stab at it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
This is Jack Costello, friends, inviting you listen to the
Adventures of the Falcon. Sorrying less stabn 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 solves the Case of
the Mighty Muscle and now the Case of the Mighty
(01:05):
Muscle Rine. It's early Sunday morning and the streets of
Manhattan are deserted save for a broad shouldered young man
named Al Compton who strolls down East eighty six Street
and heads for home. But unknown to mister Compton, he
has company. Twenty feet behind him is a tall, lean
(01:26):
gent who matches him step for step, and only after
Compton has gone two blocks is he aware of his shadow.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All right, friend, what's the idea? Speaking of me?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Why it's hailing me daily?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Why should I want to do a thing like that.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's what I want to know. You're imagining things content. Yeah,
and how come you know my name? Oh, you're a celebrity.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Everybody knows Ken Brady and the fellow he's groom and
the follow in his footsteps.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Why it's one of the big success stories of.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
A who do you think you're a kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Okay, Compton, I'll put it to you straight. You're going
right home. Why a friend of mine wants to talk
to you. Oh, Nick Daniels.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What does Daniels want with me?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Then you've heard of the boys?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
And you know that Daniels ain't No too bid up?
I know its territory is Indianapolis. What's he doing in
New York? That's what he wants to talk to you about.
I got a car around the corner.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I never take rides with strangers, well counting as far
as I'm concerned. You can keep on walking and Heaven
bless you. But Daniels said, Eddie, you bring Compton to
my place, so you see the position that puts me.
That's sure tough luck, Oh friend.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You must really enjoy your work. Dye whatt you hit
him with? Nick, I heard it. It could be the cops. Now,
Braddy wouldn't have missed the miss mast You want me? No, no, no, no,
I'll take care of it. You look at our friend
here just a second, I'm coming, hello, Nick.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What are you doing here? Claire?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I thought I left you in Indianapolis.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Well, you are such an irresistible creature. I had to
follow you. I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You'll have to pick another time. I'm all jammed out
with what.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Well, well, what goes on under our little roof?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's none of your business?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Now?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Will you leave that handsome hunk of man on the bed?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Al Compton did not tend you to be did all.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Right, darling? If you don't want me.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To stay, ah holder, Claire, I had changed my mind.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I thought that was a woman for Rodya.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You wouldn't be thinking of going up to see his boss,
Ken Brady, would you?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Would you mind very much?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You don't want to jump to conclusions, Claire. Mister Compton
just dropped into chat. He had a couple too many
and he passed out.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
That hard stuff is awful, isn'tess, especially when you get
it from the end of a blackjack.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Now listen, Claire your what's it worth to you? What's
what worth to me?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Keeping my mouth shut?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
A thousand dollars? Oh no, Nick, I make your mind baby.
If you don't want it, that's all right with me too.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yeah, don't be cheap, Donnie. After all, in your bracket,
how much can you keep?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I said, I'll give you a grand take it or
leave it.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I'll take it, though I'd like to try, but too.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You're gonna talk all night with that, dame.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Would just a second, Eddie, listen, Claire, I want you
to take a little walk for a while.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Come back in a couple of hours. Four thirty are
our five will be even better.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
And you'll have that money ready, I.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Said I would.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Okay, Eddie, get them up here, come.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
On jumping, wake up, let me alone. Mind you have
to go back to sleep at the boss.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Hello comet. Oh you Nick Daniels, aren't you? That's right?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I'm already sorry about this, fellow, but I hadn't tell you.
Now I've got a proposition for your Compton.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm not interested. Want to cheer me on.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I've been doing a little checking up on you. They
tell me you're Brady's fair haired boy. Tweat you like
his own son. So I'm going to show you how
to commercialize on it. Now, I'd like to open up
a couple of gambling clubs around town.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Are you're crazy you think Brady would stand for it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, he's in the business, that's just it. He's not
going to be in business much longer.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What do you mean we're going to knock off his
club regularly? What? Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And when his customers see the rough stuff that goes on,
I don't think they'll.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Be flocking there anymore. Already in mind, Daniels, you don't
think it will work. Now we get spotts all over
the place. It so I'm like a fortress.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
How are you going to get your.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Boys past the guards? That's where you come in. Do
you think I'd sell out.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Brady after all he's done.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think you'd sell out your own mother.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
If the price will run, you can take your money.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He's talking about money. There are other things in life
besides that, and not makes sense. Have you heard of
a man named Sam Richards? No funny. I found a
guy in mobile who was willing to identify he was
the lad who killed Richards in a fight over some girl.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's a lie.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Seems this friend of mine was living across the street
and saw the whole thing from his window. You're bluffing,
you think, So what take a look at these pictures?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Where did you get him? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I forgot to mention that this friend of mine is
a camera enthusiast and he thought a picture of you
bending over the body might come in.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But you're not frightening me. Daniel's Brady knows all about
that mess.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, but the cops don't. What do you say, Compton?
Do you cooperate when when I get the pictures, don't.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Give them a thought. I'll deliver right after you do. Sorry, Judy,
you see you see the spot on anyther way? I'm
a dead duck.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
What does this Nick Daniels have on you important? It
can't be if you told him you cross this? And Judy,
I swear all this happened long before I ever met you.
Why can't you tell me what it is?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I just can't.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's all. Just take my word for it that Daniels
wasn't sounding off. If I double cross him, it can
mean my life.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What can I do? When I came to New York,
I was a bum. Brady took a liking to me.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
He gave me a job. You mean you're gonna tell
him about Nick Daniel? Yes, no, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Out you got a better idea?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yes, why don't we leave town?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
How far do you think we'd get Daniels probably as
a boy now watching the hotel?
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Then why don't you do what Daniels wants? Brady had
never suspect?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Did you forget it?
Speaker 7 (07:40):
If you really loved me, then don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
To Brett's get out of my way?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
To Judy, No, I won't let you go out.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You can't stop me.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I can try l.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Go away. Nobody here? Yeah, let me talk to Mike
Wearing here?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What's amatter?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Kids? Did I wake him? Oh? That's a pretty ridiculous question.
CORBYT What do you want?
Speaker 8 (08:16):
That's no way to talk to a guy who's going
to do you a favor.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Look, such, I don't like guys doing me favors at
three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
In the morning.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Okay, Mike, if you don't want to meet her, what are.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You babbling about?
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I just picked up a little number who's out of
her mind to meet the faulcon You interested?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Nope? She's blonde, five feet too. I said, I wasn't
this here that would put venus to shame. Oh what's
her name? Judy Wayne Wright? Never heard of her?
Speaker 8 (08:41):
You're well she just killed al Compton.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Ken Brady's boy. That's right. She wants to hire you.
Is that why you call me? Yeah, I'll tell miss
Wayne Right. I'm not interested. Ah, you're being smart, Mike.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
What do you mean, Well, strictly between you and me
and the guy who's hiding under your racing form. This
girl hasn't got a prayer, not a chance. She's up
the well known creek without a paddle. I bet the
jury won't take twenty minutes to strap her into the chair.
I want to hear the story she tried to give us.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No, never mind, Slegeant. You always follow up a story.
Tell miss Waynewright. I will be able to hear it myself.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And now back to the adventures of the Falcon. An
hour has passed since Sergeant Corbett, acting at the behest
of Judy Wainwright, got in touch with Mike Wearings, and
now at a local jail, how the Falcon listens, Miss
Wainwright talks for herself.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
You've got to believe me, mister Wearing. I didn't kill al.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And now come you didn't see the murderer because my
back was to the door and you didn't hear it open. No,
but how do you explain the gun being found in
the room.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
The killer must have thrown it in.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
How did your fingerprints get on it?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I don't remember. I was so dazed, I probably picked
it up without thinking.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And they weren't so dazed that you couldn't pack a
bag and head for the nearest bus line, where the
cops grabbed you.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I tell you I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You had a fight with Compton, didn't you?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
No, I was crazy about it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And how come the people next door heard you arguing?
Corvitt tells me they heard Compton say he was walking.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Out on you and you would't let him go.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Did you or didn't you say you were going to
stop him?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
What is this a third degree? Just what side are
you on, mister Waring?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I haven't decided.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Well, if that's the way you feel, I'll get someone else.
Falcon's not the only private detective in.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Town, Okay, Angel, no hard feelings he started?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
No, wait, mister worry Yeah, I'll tell you anything you
want to know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Okay, I suppose we start with the last question.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
I asked, Well, Al and I were arguing, but it
wasn't over what you think Al worked for Ken Brady.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're not telling me anything. You Well, late last.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Night a man came down with a proposition. Either Al
helped him ruin Brady's club or.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Else or else what?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
It was blackmail of some sort.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What was compat's decision?
Speaker 9 (11:21):
He was going to tell Brady the whole story, even
though it meant his life. That's why I wouldn't let
him go.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And would you know the name of the party who
tried to blackjack him into line?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was Nick Daniels, the gentleman from Indianapolis, I think, so.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, but I've always wanted to and this may be
my chance.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hey, Satan, I went out.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Want me to get that Nick, no trouble. Hello, Yes,
just a minute, it is your Indianapolis call Nick.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
The operator says.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
She's ready with Wilson.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Just tell him I won't need those strong arm men.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I asked him for anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, I'll just say I'll be back in a couple
of days, Hie, All right on, Claire, I'll take care
of him.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Hello Wilson. Nick asked me to relation go to you.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, hello Nick? Do I know you are not like
you're going to? My name is Mike Wearing. Oh the fuck?
And what do you want with me? But I'm working
for a girl named Judy Wainwright. I don't believe I
know her. She was engaged to al Compton. Oh too bad?
(12:45):
It was broken then you know he was murdered, and
sure I heard it on the radio. Sad wasn't as very.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It doesn't strike you strange that he should be knocked
off right after you worked on him to double cross Brady?
Who told you that little birdie? What's this little birdie's name?
Tell what difference does that make? It's got a long tongue.
Maybe somebody ought to pull it out, Eddie, first game right,
get your hands off me?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What are you doing to get your hands off me?
The first time.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You come on breaking, I said, breaking up? Quit playing around?
Eddie used to say, Oh you don't can he's got
my arm. One of that case, I'll have to take
a hand you all right, Eddie feels like he tore
it out of it suck at the make him.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Stop me.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Wearing wearing?
Speaker 6 (13:48):
He's out cold.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Give me that base.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
You're not going to hit him with it, will you?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Shut up?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Left his head up, Eddie, that's fine. Don't the water
wearing can.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Want drink?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No suit yourself? Who told you about my deal without Compton?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's none of your I told you to keep out
of this clad. What amost wearing?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
He don't think I'll tell you, sure right, Bill, but
you're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Okay, Eddie, take off his shoes. Hey, what's the idea.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm going to show you how we make it hot
for guys like you back in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You wouldn't no watch and see you gotta match it
in shure?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
No, Nick, Well, he still ain't talking.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
What you come out for.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Go back in there with clan. Work on him till
he does.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So you see's out cold from the look said that
he will be for another three or four hours.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That's it's fine.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now, How am I going to find out who told
him I got the Compton? Maybe he just gutted nah, noah, No,
you don't guess things like that, Eddie. Somebody's been talking
out of turn. Maybe it was clad. Maybe not again,
maybe it was you, But what kind of a crack
is that class tarted to make a grand of things broken?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Right? So take it anywhay you like?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
All right, Nick, as long as you mentioned it?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Where do white stand in this deal?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I told you that before, before things were different, I
was supposed to get five percent of everything you made
in New York. So so right now, the best you
can hope for us to keep your health. If Frady
ever hears of this stunt, you won't live long enough
to regret it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Where does that leave me?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The same place it leaves me?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well, not quite. You got dough? I haven't. That's tough,
but only on you. What's the idea of the gun? Eddie?
I want ten grand for my trouble? Wh you heard me?
I haven't got it here. Don't tell me that. I'll
let you look at my wallet.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I'm fresh air.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Of course, we plenty to start operating. You've got plenty
more in your safe, sure, but that's down in the office.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
All right. Let's go to the office, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And then when a fella's got something coming to him,
I'd be the last one to stop him from getting it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Let me get my coat.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Oh, oh, take it easy hand, So you're gonna be
all right?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Who are you?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Cannot be very flattering, mister wearing. I was kind of
hoping you noticed me when you first came in.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh I did?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You had me worried for a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I thought I was slipping the And what time is it?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Quarter of nine?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I mean I've been alone here for almost three.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Hours alone, honey, I've been keeping you company.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh, how lucky me. What's your name?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Atl Claire?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now what's the rest of it?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Aims? Miss Claire?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Aims? Since when has it been? Miss m wasn't so
long ago? You were wearing a wedding ring there?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Who tells you that?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh I'm clairvoyant? Beside? You still got a band of
white on your left hand? Oh yeah, I see how
simple it is. Who is a lucky man?
Speaker 6 (17:10):
What difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Because I've got a feeling it was Nick Daniels.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
How did you know that?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh, just a hunch he was still married to the guy.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, but don't give up, Hope Hanson. I don't think
it'll left. I've been thinking of Ringo for quite a while.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
How would Nick like that?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
How'd you get into this mess anyway.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
It promised me a thousand dollars about help. I needed
the money?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Did he and Eddie kill l compan use your head?
What was that percentage?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Compton?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Was there boy? Or where are they now?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
They left about two hours ago from Nick's office?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What do they do with my shoes?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't be a fool wearing You can't hobble around in
your condition.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
He just lies Still, I'll get a doctor. Uh, don't
you bother? I live through it, too bad. I can't
say as much for your husband. What's Nick's office? Claire?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Last one down the hall? Uh? Loove, Mike? What's your
interest in this case?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Is not obvious?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I'm looking for our Coppin's murderer. Why because I've got
a client named Judy Wainwright. The police think did it?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I see you?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yes, So that's where the league was. Huh. That's how
you knew that Nick approached Constance?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
And the police think that your client is guilty?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
What makes you so sure she isn't?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh? I don't call it blind faith.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I wish I could find someone to believe in me
that way.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Well, maybe we could work out a deal. Yeah, it's
the place yes, who's the Star Trading Company?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
That's the name Nick is using in New York.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Uh, well, I guess there's nobody that's the matter. I
spoke too soon. The door's open. Uh light twitch, I've
got it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, awfully careless of mister Nick Daniels leave his office
in this condition.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Doesn't it strike you as being sloppy? No? So obviously
we both can't be looking at the same thing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And the first thing I noticed was that open closet,
and the next thing I saw, Honey, that's who it is, Claire.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
What what's wrong with him?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Just to mention one thing, he's dead. Hand me the phone, Agel,
I got to call the police.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
He sis pree saying, sorry, don't carpet speaking.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Corbett is Mike wearing.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Wow, I've been keeping yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Your client's been asking for you.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I did tell miss Wayne right, he's got nothing to
worry about. I'll be down in five.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Minutes with the proof that she didn't kill Compton.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
What do you call proof?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I just found Eddie nichols body.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Say that again.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I just found Eddie Nichols body. Nick Daniels, boy, someone
let them have a butcher knife right in the back.
Why did you find him in Nick's office?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
How do you figure that clere's miss Waynwright.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll explain it all when I see you, Sergeant. It
stands the reason the same party who killed Alcompton killed Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
I still don't see how that gives the girling out.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, come off, But what's wrong with you? Corbett?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
That has been dead for less than an hour, and
for the last five you've had my client in the
lock and key.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I guess again. Miss Wainwright raised ten grand worth of
bail at seven o'clock tonight. That was three hours ago.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
You're joking.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
If you think so, will you hear the payoff? The
guy who put up the doll is a gentleman named
Nick Daniels. Ain't that enough to kill you?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Back to the Adventures of the Folcon. My whole power
has passed since Mike wearings the news that Judy Wainwright's
bail was furnished by Nick Daniels and now with her
gorgeous missus Daniels in told the Falcon tries to locate
the good.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Beater that Sint Claire. I'm not sure Daniels wouldn't go
any place for this apartment.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Well, is he the here or results?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But the doorman said he hasn't been back since he left. Yes,
obviously he knew where.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Well, I guess the only thing to do is to.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That seems like a smart idea.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I want to drake when here's to what we both want?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Wait a minute, then, does Nick have a hotel suitet anywhere?
Not that I know of? Where could he have taken Judy?
Why are you so worried about her? You don't know
how important that little lady is my scheme of things.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
You think she killed Compton Eddy?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, Judy, where's Nick right behind? So trying to be
funny and you know what will happen?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Why did you want to bear you out? Judy?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
God, you send him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You'll forgive me for using your name?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Friend? How did you find out about her?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm a gambler wearing I play hunches. This one paid
off right on my nose.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Speaking of hunches, Nick, I've got a honey of my own.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling that one of the
things you're not expecting is this.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Get down, Judy. That's not nice.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nick, not got that? Come on, prop it cut it on,
get breaking my arm and I'm gonna start.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
On your neck.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I stop it, call me Claire.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You'll kill him.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's the general idea. Come on, Nick, get up.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Send him be Mike. He didn't kill Al Compton? No, no,
how would he know Compton was going to doublecross him?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
And tell Brady?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I tell you Nick had no motive.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Who said he did what? I never claimed he had
a motive. Player, I just don't like this guy in
general principles.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
I don't get you.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Well, I'll see if this is any better. You killed
Al Compton? Crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
What's more, you killed Eddy Nichols when he stumbled on
the truth. I don't struggle, Angel, because now that I
finished with mister Daniels, that just as soon started on
this missus.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
So it was Claire who was the villain of the piece.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
But why did she kill Al? She had nothing against him.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh that's what made this almost a perfect.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Crime, Judy.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
She had no motive, but her husband didn't. I mean
it was a frame, that's right, Angel.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You see, if Claire played ball with her husband or
she stood the game was one thousand dollars. But if
Nick went to the chair for the murder of Al
and Eddie, then as his widow.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
She stood to come into a fortune.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Na, you've got it. While I was out cold. She
followed Eddie and her husband to the office, where she
let Eddie heap it.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
And you mean to tell me Nick just stood by
and did nothing?
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
What was your reaction when you saw Al die?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Hm?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I recall you were a little on the bewildered side.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Why was the same thing happened to Nick?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
But didn't Claire say she was with you while Eddie
and Nick were gone?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, what could you expect her to do? Break down
and confess? After that? Going over? I got it, I
was in no condition to tell whether or not she
was lying.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Well, I still find it hard to believe she was
in that hotel room while I.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Was arguing with Al.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Why you bolthso worked up you didn't notice the door
open all? Now admit it?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
You're guessing.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, No, she had to be in that room, Judy.
You see, she knew something she never could have known otherwise,
that Al was planning to double cross Nick by telling.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
His boss the whole story.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Now, Nick didn't know that the only reason he was
giving up the scheme of breaking Brady was.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That with Al dead, it didn't stand a chance of working.
Not it clear?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I see good.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
I only wish there was some way I could pay
you for all you've done.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh there is?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
How well, I don't think this is the proper time
to go into that.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
A private detective liked to keep his fee strictly between
him and his client, And I could a feeling my
being overheard.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Wait, were alone
