The Adventures of the Saint starring Tom Conway. The Saint,
based on characters created by Leslie Trotteris and known to
millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The robin Hood
(00:45):
of Modern Crime now comes transcribed to radio, starring Hollywood's
brilliant and talented actor Tom Conway as the Saint. Yes,
I'm Simon Templer. I have an appointment with Oh yas,
mister Templer. We've been waiting for you. Come in. Please
thank you this way. You had no trouble finding the place, sir, none.
(01:11):
The Allison House is too large to overlook. I should
apologize for not sending the car for you. You see you
haven't got a reading.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Now you tell mother?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh well, hello, hello, you are cute, aren't you think?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I have never given it much thought?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
See mother hired you to drive the car.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
No, that wouldn't be it at all.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
She hired you to escort it a remoter.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Uh huh, you're not the escort type, Miss Allison. This
is the Saint.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh then that's why mother hired you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, good luck held a.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Mister Dunn calls tell him I've already left for the track.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Uh, goodbye, dream Boat goodbye. She uh goes with the house.
I take it Missus Allison's daughter, Cora by a late marriage,
a very spirited young lady. Oh, here's Missus Allison's bedroom,
Missus Allison, mister Templar is here, will send him in
(02:08):
sending in.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Come over here, mister Templar, let's have.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
A look at you.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Hm, very nice.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I just exactly what is being hired, Missus Allison. A
detective or a profile?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh? Pass it down. I'm not here, mister Templar, just
wearing out. And please don't allow the impertinences of an
aged woman to distress you. They're the wages of an
extremely indulgent, but not uninteresting life.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You don't seem as weak a woman as you let on,
Missus Allison.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
A gentlemanly thing to say, mister Templar. But the strength
you see left in me is only the extra strong
light of the candle before it burns out. Here, mister Templar,
is a check for one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's yours, just like that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I never thought money was for anything but spending. And
now shall we talk of my need.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
For you for a thousand dollars to my favorite charity
you can talk of anything.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You have seen her?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Who my daughter? I ran into a light breeze on
the stairs. A Field said she was your daughter.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Mister Templar. Cora is an exciting, spirited girl. She's had
everything that's fine in life, and now her only reading matter.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is the racing form.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Her only art self beautification. Her only uses the rock
as sounds of a nightclub. Look, m I found this
gun in her room.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
She thinks it's chute.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
To carry a gun. But that isn't all. The real
problem goes deeper.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
M A man, how did you know it? Usually is?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
His name is Frank Dunn.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, he runs the Paradise Club.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know him?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, then you know that he is a ruthless man.
Cora is in love with him, or think she is.
He's no good for her. I want you to take
her away from him. I know Cora, I know of you.
I know you are the kind of man.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Who can do it. And that's all. Yes, No, I
think you've left out something. The real reason for paying
me a thousand dollars. We'll start with Cora. You made
her what she is, missus Anderson, and you like it.
You like her flamboyants and her excesses because you like
them yourself when you were young. You're not angry at her,
(04:32):
You're worried about her. You think Frank Dunn is going
to get into trouble, criminal trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You are a discerning man, mister Templar.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And a frank one. Then we understand each other. Yes,
good fabrication between a man and his client is usually unhealthy,
especially when there's some one in the middle with a
loaded gun. Now er, just how is done using Cora?
I don't know, m and I'll find out out.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They're at the track. They're always at the track. Fields
tells me they.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Have a box. I'll phone you as soon as I
get something.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Remember, mister Templar, whatever it is, the important thing is
that Cora be kept out of it completely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Do you understand I understand, missus Anderson, that I'm about
to play nursemaid to a very beautiful young lady.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Tell me, now, Frankie, which horse did you have?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
The winn?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I always say that, but this was a photo finish daring.
Which one did you have? Who's you? Tell me?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Oh? No, Coral, Hey, Frankie, the who's common? Hello? Cora?
Oh hello?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Cute? So I hope you're following me.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, I dropped a few hundred dollars at this track
last season. I wondered if any of you had found it.
Speaker 4 (05:54):

things to tell Corra about you, that you spend three
years in Joja to a few more in state pens

we've had a chance to talk to my own.
Speaker 2 (09:12):

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't think you will. You don't want to draw
any attention to yourself. That's why the dark cross is.
Who are you hiding from Patricia? Frankie, what do you
want to say? I told you a few moments of
pleasant conversation.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Do you want to get it from me?
Speaker 1 (09:28):

Speaker 4 (09:29):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:30):

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I've got a cab waiting. Come on, I'll take you home.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I wanna go home.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Where do you wanna go to?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Staying at a hotel on Madison?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
All right, I'll take you there and we'll drive slowly.
We've got a few things to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Thanks for the dinner set.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Thanks for being so talkative.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I don't remember saying anything.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You didn't. What's bothering you? Why did you go to
the track and hide in the corner behind dark glasses
in a veil?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
That's my business?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who was Bronzon? Frankie mentioned him at the track? Who
is he?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Never heard of him?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Frank is making a lot of money off the races.
How's it done? So? You can fix one race sometimes,
but you can't fix four one day five the day before,
and I don't know how many before then. That uh
takes a lot of organization it. How do you feel
about Cora Allison?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Do I all brunettes feel about blonde?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Mum? That's a nice wedding thingue you're wearing.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You and Frank is do married?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Why shouldn't it be?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For no reason except it seems to me that if
Frank is going to marry Cora in a few days,
as he says, it is a bit better for him
not to be married to you.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
That's his problem.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Sure, you don't want to tell me about Bronson.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I don't wanna tell you anything.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Huh, all right, I see you again.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
You don't bet on us?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's tanking on in town? What have come over from Jersey?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Do me a favor. Really, don't tell him I'm in town.
No matter what. Don't tell him?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Won't be good for me?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's time, alright, Patricia, I I won't tell him. I
got's it? Yes? Thank you for shot? How stew top
you will stock shot a key?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Nobody can get one at the desk?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
No, give me a hand, christ come on, come on
up a little more. Yeah, say she is.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Mister wow, look at that rug.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Whoever did it made sure the windows open, fire escape
anyone fights down, Call the police right away, why, mister
cunning and sure to be sure about that book? Eddie, Eddie,
come over here? Hey you say, I don't see it
up at this window? Oh? Yeah, you were parked at
the end of the alley. Did you see anyone come
out of it? Oh? I was kind of maybe, Cora Alison.
(12:44):
Hello Fields, Oh, mister templar, I tried to pollod you
at your apartments. Missus Allison has asked me to inform
you that your services are no longer needed. Just a moment, Fields,
please take your foot out of the door where I
shall be forced to call the police. Hardly likely, Field,
you haven't forgotten the It was committed not long ago.
I was standing outside Patricia Dunn's apartment when it happened.
(13:05):
I don't know what you're talking about, Sir. I don't
want to call you a live Fields, but you're tempting me.
I've got a strong feeling Cora did it. I also
think you drove her then back in the limousine. You're wrong,
mister Templar. I haven't left the house all afternoon, nor
has the car left the garage. There you go again.
I felt the hood on the limousine not two minutes ago.
It's too warm, and I'd also like to find something
(13:27):
else that's warm. What's that, sir? A gun fired, probably
by the dainty hand of a girl who has everything
except the right upbringing. Now believe me, it feels it.
It'd be a lot less trouble if you let me
in to talk to Cora than if I find a
telephone and talk to the police. Well, Cora's in her bedroom.
Please come in, mister templar. Well, Arah, if you're going
(14:02):
to keep on trying, we're not going to get any where.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I'd tell you I didn't kill and you don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'd like to, but you've got a lot of things
to explain. One is the automatic You used to carry
it once a pistol, for it's not the shooting.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh I never shot a pistol in my life.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh I see you used it as a paper weight. No.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I carried it because well because it looked.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Good, uh huh, like a mink cake.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh I tell you, I didn't you her, or.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Would anyone knows you ever? Told to you notice some people.
It also looks good to tell a lot of clever lies.
You also said you weren't a Patricia's apartment.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I wasn't. I came home right after the races and
had dinner here. Yes, I came right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Home, all of which reminds me of Pinocchio, whose nose
got longer every time you lied.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
As feels I was home all afternoon.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
He saw me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We've already been through it. His nose is getting longer too, Cora,
listen to me. I ca saw you running up the
alley away from Patricia's place after the shots were fired.
He's somebody. It doesn't matter who.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You're making it up.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Strangely enough, I'm not like you, Cora. I don't think
it looks good to make things up, especially when murders concerned.
The candy saw you and the liganzine and fields. And
I'll tell you one thing more. The police will be
able to prove you were there. Oh you, Luscius. I know,
I know you told me.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I was there.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I killed him.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I killed him knowing it.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Doesna believe No, don't believe her, mister Templer.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
She's lying.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh brother, she didn't kill Patricia Dunn. I know because
I did. I just furned the police and confessed.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Uh, shall I have a bartender set us up against
saying no, not for me? You go ahead, Eddie, I
I know you've got to get fortified to face the
New York traffic. I'll skip it. Hey, what are we
doing here? Waiting?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
What for Frank?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You're done? This is his place. If and when he
shows out, I want to see if he's in mourning.
You don't mean, after all that's happened, you're still in
the case. No, no, not exactly. What goods the kind?
If Uh, she's on the way to the dip house,
the meeting missus Alice meaning the same, then you really
think she does? She says, So don't want to go
home or go to sleep. Let's just say I'm ristless. Uh, Eddie,
(16:42):
I've been watching that man at the end of the bar,
the one in the brown pinstrive to work is uh
oh Ronson at least that's what the bar he quote him. So,
so he's the one who's in with Frank Donald the
horse Ray scheme. He gave the bartender a package. The
bartender locked the tankage from the safe, then gave Bronson
an envelope. Bronson opened the envelope and put the contents
(17:05):
into his wallet. Eddie, what would you put in your
wallet that was green and negotiable cabbage? If I add
it was cabbage, all right? Cabbage and lettuce s moooler
fish clams or whatever euphemism you want to use. His
share a track winning. Maybe let's see if I can
find out good evening, mister Bronson. We have met, and
(17:35):
not formerly, but we have mutual friends. Frank done Cora Allison.
They tell me you have a great way to beat
the horses. A sure thing and until your court that
is o ae you young man, superman, and my X
ray eyes penetrate your coat and see the money in
your inside pocket. Your sheriff done, track winning.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
We're the most absurd young man I've ever met. M
That money was for a.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Package I left, mister Dunn, and uh what was in
the package? I failed to see how that's sinning of
your affair. It's just see to it is and to
relieve my curiosity.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Books, young man, I am a book dealer. I have
a shop on Third Avenue. You must come and see it.
Sometimes the money mister Dunn gave me was simply a
payment for the books.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
They must be pretty expensive, but there was a lot
of money in there. I'm rare books.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Tell me, young man, where did you ever get that
delightful notion that I know how to beat the horses?
Or that I'm involved in something with mister Dunn?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And uh what was the girl's name? Yes, it's the
charming idea. I'll tell you what you do, young man.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You investigate me, and if you determine that I am
engaged in something criminal, please inform me. I should be
delighted to know I would buy mister Templer, and don't
try to follow me.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh, of course not. It's bad manners, mister Bronson, to
follow anyone who isn't female.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Mister templar, m I've been waiting for you in the
hallway for almost two hours, was wondering if could ever
get home.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I was out getting my mind off of no good case.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Mister Temple, I'd like to talk to you. May I
come in.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't think you have anything to say to me, Cora.
You could have said anything you wanted to before the
police took your mother.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well that's no reason I can't say it now.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Please m all right, but I hope it's worthwhile. I'm
very sleepy.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well, I saw mother in jail a few hours ago.
It was an unpleasant tight.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well it should have been. Jail's aren't designed to give kicks.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mother doesn't belong there, mister Templar, I know it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
She didn't kill Patricia Dumb. She just said she did.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You protect me.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
She's convinced I killed Patricia and who she feels responsible
because of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
She brought me up.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
All I admit there's wisdom there. So uh were you
going to let her give herself up?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Who?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I suppose?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So it was an awful thing to do it?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh, I know, I can't why I told you I
saw her in jail.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, you don't have to worry about that for her.
The police will soon find out they haven't got a
case against him. She'll be released. Of course, they'll look
for someone else to take up place.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Many me.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Have you got a better suggestion?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's just it, mister Templer.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
No matter what you and mother think, I didn't kill
Patricia Dumb.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
M that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
H Thank Acora. I don't know whether to believe you
or not. You've You've told so many lies already. You
were at Patricia's apartment. I know you were.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yes, I was there.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I heard that Frankie was still married to Right. I
knew he couldn't marry me then, and I knew something
was wrong. Well, I went to see her. I I
was inside her apartment when you left her there. The
manager let me and I told him I was your sister.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Then you saw who killed her.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The shots came in through the window.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I got frightened.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I may put on a lot, but I do get frightened.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I ran down the fire skating up the alley. That's
when the cab driver saw me. Fields took me home
and I told mother what happened.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And she didn't believe you. She thought you were the
one who killed Patricia and made up the story about
someone firing through the window.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yes, she made Fields and me promised to say neither
of us left the house. But when you came and.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Proved me has she called up the police and contested
to save you.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
She said she was old and didn't matter if she
went to jail. It was her way of giving me
a new start, hoping I'd change my ways.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Have you one? I just told you the truth? I
wonder you know you remind me of the boy who wolf.
Uh tell me about frank his team to beat the horses?
How does it work?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know. All I know is he's always has
the winning ticket. Seems I catch dozens of 'em.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Dozen he ever catch any of them?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh, it's always me?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Why?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh, I don't know why I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I guess it was fun. I know what about Bronson?
He's in on it? Who's he?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's an artist?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
An artist? He said he was a book dealer.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh, he has a bookshop, all right, and he's really
an artist. That's fine to tail work. I've seen some of.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It lether ground, Yes, engraving a counterfeit. It may be why,
of course that's it. That's why Done always has the
winning ticket. Bronson makes up a win ticket ahead of
time for every horse in the race, no matter which
horse wims. Done wims a very faincy idea. Now tell
(23:00):
me one thing more, Cora, How did you know Patricia
was in town? How did you know where she was staying? Well?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I overheard Lewis and Frankie talk about it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Thank you was angry frank you done? Yes? She was
afraid he'd find find out she was in town. Where's
thanks staying?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
He's got a suit at the seven six thirteen.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
All right, oh, Cora, Yes, for yours and your mother's sake.
I hope you're finally telling the truth. It's open. Come
on in mostly I'm waiting foot say no, thank you? Hmmm,
(23:45):
over coat on? Where are you going something? I've got someplace, yes,
but not where you think you're going to change places
with missus Allis. It's very funny. I know all about
the counterfeating frank you, and I know Cora was used
to front for you. You with your reputation, I couldn't
keep catching so many wing tickets. Somebody would begin to wonder.
But uh, Cordra was relatively safe. However, that isn't the
(24:09):
important thing, is it? No? Patricia's murder is? That's right?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Says, that's the important thing, And I get out of
my way.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I got a gun in this overcoat pocket.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
I don't want to have to kill you because I'm
saving these bullets for someone else. Oh, they want will
really kill my Patricia. They don't name missus Allison.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
What do you mean? A kid with too much money
no sense?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Unless feeling Cora Allison, which she said she didn't do it.
She says a lot of things, but I believe her
this time.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
She's a changed girl, h ruffled but wiser, and I
don't think she killed Patricia. You got an alibi, Frank here, Yeah,
a real good one. I love it. Is that why
she was so scared of you.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
She know I want her out of town till the
jab with Bronzo was finished. She know if I know
she was in town, out of slapped around and sent
her home.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I must say, you have a unique way of sharing
a fiction. It's my way. Oh it's very touching. Thanker.
But I don't don't think that if I would stand
up in court, this one.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Will both Moose and I were in the bar this
hotel when Patricia was killed, and the house steak and
six other people saw us.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So I guess you made a mistake. I get out
of my ways, saying I got a date with Colra.
You're not going to kill Kaorra.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Take your hand, so I make you're not gonna kill her,
saying I didn't ask for trouble with you, but you're
gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
There's your phone down, answer it all right? I will hello, Frank.
Frank it's Moose. I get a bullet in me? What
is it? Mose, Bronce, Franky, Bronsome, Bronsome, hang up the
(25:41):
tell man, I'll tell you all about myself first hated it.
I don't think you have to, Bronson. I already know
it's been a merry go round and I got a
lot of lead rings. But you're the gold woman. Yes,
you killed Patricia because she knew the deals you and
frank you were on. She never wanted Franky to be
in on it. You thought she'd dropped the wrong information
(26:02):
to the police. So everyone who knows about it has
to go. Patricia Moose me. Yes, young man, it seems
that it is now your turn. Now, bron sense your turn.
Break it? Frank all right, Frankie, you even things up.

(01:11):
The Allison House is too large to overlook. I should
apologize for not sending the car for you. You see you
haven't got a reading.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Now you tell mother?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh well, hello, hello, you are cute, aren't you think?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I have never given it much thought?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
See mother hired you to drive the car.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
No, that wouldn't be it at all.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
She hired you to escort it a remoter.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Uh huh, you're not the escort type, Miss Allison. This
is the Saint.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh then that's why mother hired you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, good luck held a.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Mister Dunn calls tell him I've already left for the track.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Uh, goodbye, dream Boat goodbye. She uh goes with the house.
I take it Missus Allison's daughter, Cora by a late marriage,
a very spirited young lady. Oh, here's Missus Allison's bedroom,
Missus Allison, mister Templar is here, will send him in
(02:08):
sending in.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Come over here, mister Templar, let's have.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
A look at you.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Hm, very nice.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I just exactly what is being hired, Missus Allison. A
detective or a profile?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh? Pass it down. I'm not here, mister Templar, just
wearing out. And please don't allow the impertinences of an
aged woman to distress you. They're the wages of an
extremely indulgent, but not uninteresting life.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You don't seem as weak a woman as you let on,
Missus Allison.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
A gentlemanly thing to say, mister Templar. But the strength
you see left in me is only the extra strong
light of the candle before it burns out. Here, mister Templar,
is a check for one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's yours, just like that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I never thought money was for anything but spending. And
now shall we talk of my need.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
For you for a thousand dollars to my favorite charity
you can talk of anything.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You have seen her?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Who my daughter? I ran into a light breeze on
the stairs. A Field said she was your daughter.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Mister Templar. Cora is an exciting, spirited girl. She's had
everything that's fine in life, and now her only reading matter.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is the racing form.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Her only art self beautification. Her only uses the rock
as sounds of a nightclub. Look, m I found this
gun in her room.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
She thinks it's chute.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
To carry a gun. But that isn't all. The real
problem goes deeper.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
M A man, how did you know it? Usually is?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
His name is Frank Dunn.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, he runs the Paradise Club.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know him?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, then you know that he is a ruthless man.
Cora is in love with him, or think she is.
He's no good for her. I want you to take
her away from him. I know Cora, I know of you.
I know you are the kind of man.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Who can do it. And that's all. Yes, No, I
think you've left out something. The real reason for paying
me a thousand dollars. We'll start with Cora. You made
her what she is, missus Anderson, and you like it.
You like her flamboyants and her excesses because you like
them yourself when you were young. You're not angry at her,
(04:32):
You're worried about her. You think Frank Dunn is going
to get into trouble, criminal trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You are a discerning man, mister Templar.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And a frank one. Then we understand each other. Yes,
good fabrication between a man and his client is usually unhealthy,
especially when there's some one in the middle with a
loaded gun. Now er, just how is done using Cora?
I don't know, m and I'll find out out.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They're at the track. They're always at the track. Fields
tells me they.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Have a box. I'll phone you as soon as I
get something.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Remember, mister Templar, whatever it is, the important thing is
that Cora be kept out of it completely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Do you understand I understand, missus Anderson, that I'm about
to play nursemaid to a very beautiful young lady.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Tell me, now, Frankie, which horse did you have?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
The winn?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I always say that, but this was a photo finish daring.
Which one did you have? Who's you? Tell me?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Oh? No, Coral, Hey, Frankie, the who's common? Hello? Cora?
Oh hello?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Cute? So I hope you're following me.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, I dropped a few hundred dollars at this track
last season. I wondered if any of you had found it.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
We found more than that.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Frankie dying. This is Simon temper, mister, this is it.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Mother.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I see him in the sunlight. I don't like him.
He looks too moral to me.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You'll heard the ladies say, oh, I don't think you're teaching.
Are very kind of Frankie and I have such nice
things to tell Corra about you, that you spend three
years in Joja to a few more in state pens
for various infractions of the law.
Speaker 3 (06:53):

to Jersey for. Hello, Patricia, Frankie, know you're at the track.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Wait a minute, don't go on my arm, not until
we've had a chance to talk to my own.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I said, I'm gonna call it out.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't think you will. You don't want to draw
any attention to yourself. That's why the dark cross is.
Who are you hiding from Patricia? Frankie, what do you
want to say? I told you a few moments of
pleasant conversation.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Do you want to get it from me?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I might?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Frankie and I were just talking about you.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Do you know I'm in Tell you know I'm here.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I've got a cab waiting. Come on, I'll take you home.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I wanna go home.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Where do you wanna go to?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Staying at a hotel on Madison?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
All right, I'll take you there and we'll drive slowly.
We've got a few things to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Thanks for the dinner set.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Thanks for being so talkative.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I don't remember saying anything.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You didn't. What's bothering you? Why did you go to
the track and hide in the corner behind dark glasses
in a veil?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
That's my business?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who was Bronzon? Frankie mentioned him at the track? Who
is he?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Never heard of him?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Frank is making a lot of money off the races.
How's it done? So? You can fix one race sometimes,
but you can't fix four one day five the day before,
and I don't know how many before then. That uh
takes a lot of organization it. How do you feel
about Cora Allison?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Do I all brunettes feel about blonde?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Mum? That's a nice wedding thingue you're wearing.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You and Frank is do married?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Why shouldn't it be?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For no reason except it seems to me that if
Frank is going to marry Cora in a few days,
as he says, it is a bit better for him
not to be married to you.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
That's his problem.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Sure, you don't want to tell me about Bronson.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I don't wanna tell you anything.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Huh, all right, I see you again.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
You don't bet on us?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's tanking on in town? What have come over from Jersey?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Do me a favor. Really, don't tell him I'm in town.
No matter what. Don't tell him?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Won't be good for me?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's time, alright, Patricia, I I won't tell him. I
got's it? Yes? Thank you for shot? How stew top
you will stock shot a key?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Nobody can get one at the desk?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
No, give me a hand, christ come on, come on
up a little more. Yeah, say she is.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Mister wow, look at that rug.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Whoever did it made sure the windows open, fire escape
anyone fights down, Call the police right away, why, mister
cunning and sure to be sure about that book? Eddie, Eddie,
come over here? Hey you say, I don't see it
up at this window? Oh? Yeah, you were parked at
the end of the alley. Did you see anyone come
out of it? Oh? I was kind of maybe, Cora Alison.
(12:44):
Hello Fields, Oh, mister templar, I tried to pollod you
at your apartments. Missus Allison has asked me to inform
you that your services are no longer needed. Just a moment, Fields,
please take your foot out of the door where I
shall be forced to call the police. Hardly likely, Field,
you haven't forgotten the It was committed not long ago.
I was standing outside Patricia Dunn's apartment when it happened.
(13:05):
I don't know what you're talking about, Sir. I don't
want to call you a live Fields, but you're tempting me.
I've got a strong feeling Cora did it. I also
think you drove her then back in the limousine. You're wrong,
mister Templar. I haven't left the house all afternoon, nor
has the car left the garage. There you go again.
I felt the hood on the limousine not two minutes ago.
It's too warm, and I'd also like to find something
(13:27):
else that's warm. What's that, sir? A gun fired, probably
by the dainty hand of a girl who has everything
except the right upbringing. Now believe me, it feels it.
It'd be a lot less trouble if you let me
in to talk to Cora than if I find a
telephone and talk to the police. Well, Cora's in her bedroom.
Please come in, mister templar. Well, Arah, if you're going
(14:02):
to keep on trying, we're not going to get any where.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I'd tell you I didn't kill and you don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'd like to, but you've got a lot of things
to explain. One is the automatic You used to carry
it once a pistol, for it's not the shooting.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh I never shot a pistol in my life.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh I see you used it as a paper weight. No.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I carried it because well because it looked.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Good, uh huh, like a mink cake.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh I tell you, I didn't you her, or.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Would anyone knows you ever? Told to you notice some people.
It also looks good to tell a lot of clever lies.
You also said you weren't a Patricia's apartment.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I wasn't. I came home right after the races and
had dinner here. Yes, I came right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Home, all of which reminds me of Pinocchio, whose nose
got longer every time you lied.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
As feels I was home all afternoon.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
He saw me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We've already been through it. His nose is getting longer too, Cora,
listen to me. I ca saw you running up the
alley away from Patricia's place after the shots were fired.
He's somebody. It doesn't matter who.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You're making it up.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Strangely enough, I'm not like you, Cora. I don't think
it looks good to make things up, especially when murders concerned.
The candy saw you and the liganzine and fields. And
I'll tell you one thing more. The police will be
able to prove you were there. Oh you, Luscius. I know,
I know you told me.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I was there.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I killed him.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I killed him knowing it.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Doesna believe No, don't believe her, mister Templer.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
She's lying.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh brother, she didn't kill Patricia Dunn. I know because
I did. I just furned the police and confessed.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Uh, shall I have a bartender set us up against
saying no, not for me? You go ahead, Eddie, I
I know you've got to get fortified to face the
New York traffic. I'll skip it. Hey, what are we
doing here? Waiting?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
What for Frank?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You're done? This is his place. If and when he
shows out, I want to see if he's in mourning.
You don't mean, after all that's happened, you're still in
the case. No, no, not exactly. What goods the kind?
If Uh, she's on the way to the dip house,
the meeting missus Alice meaning the same, then you really
think she does? She says, So don't want to go
home or go to sleep. Let's just say I'm ristless. Uh, Eddie,
(16:42):
I've been watching that man at the end of the bar,
the one in the brown pinstrive to work is uh
oh Ronson at least that's what the bar he quote him. So,
so he's the one who's in with Frank Donald the
horse Ray scheme. He gave the bartender a package. The
bartender locked the tankage from the safe, then gave Bronson
an envelope. Bronson opened the envelope and put the contents
(17:05):
into his wallet. Eddie, what would you put in your
wallet that was green and negotiable cabbage? If I add
it was cabbage, all right? Cabbage and lettuce s moooler
fish clams or whatever euphemism you want to use. His
share a track winning. Maybe let's see if I can
find out good evening, mister Bronson. We have met, and
(17:35):
not formerly, but we have mutual friends. Frank done Cora Allison.
They tell me you have a great way to beat
the horses. A sure thing and until your court that
is o ae you young man, superman, and my X
ray eyes penetrate your coat and see the money in
your inside pocket. Your sheriff done, track winning.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
We're the most absurd young man I've ever met. M
That money was for a.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Package I left, mister Dunn, and uh what was in
the package? I failed to see how that's sinning of
your affair. It's just see to it is and to
relieve my curiosity.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Books, young man, I am a book dealer. I have
a shop on Third Avenue. You must come and see it.
Sometimes the money mister Dunn gave me was simply a
payment for the books.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
They must be pretty expensive, but there was a lot
of money in there. I'm rare books.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Tell me, young man, where did you ever get that
delightful notion that I know how to beat the horses?
Or that I'm involved in something with mister Dunn?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And uh what was the girl's name? Yes, it's the
charming idea. I'll tell you what you do, young man.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You investigate me, and if you determine that I am
engaged in something criminal, please inform me. I should be
delighted to know I would buy mister Templer, and don't
try to follow me.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh, of course not. It's bad manners, mister Bronson, to
follow anyone who isn't female.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Mister templar, m I've been waiting for you in the
hallway for almost two hours, was wondering if could ever
get home.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I was out getting my mind off of no good case.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Mister Temple, I'd like to talk to you. May I
come in.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't think you have anything to say to me, Cora.
You could have said anything you wanted to before the
police took your mother.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well that's no reason I can't say it now.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Please m all right, but I hope it's worthwhile. I'm
very sleepy.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well, I saw mother in jail a few hours ago.
It was an unpleasant tight.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well it should have been. Jail's aren't designed to give kicks.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mother doesn't belong there, mister Templar, I know it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
She didn't kill Patricia Dumb. She just said she did.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You protect me.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
She's convinced I killed Patricia and who she feels responsible
because of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
She brought me up.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
All I admit there's wisdom there. So uh were you
going to let her give herself up?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Who?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I suppose?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So it was an awful thing to do it?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh, I know, I can't why I told you I
saw her in jail.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, you don't have to worry about that for her.
The police will soon find out they haven't got a
case against him. She'll be released. Of course, they'll look
for someone else to take up place.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Many me.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Have you got a better suggestion?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's just it, mister Templer.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
No matter what you and mother think, I didn't kill
Patricia Dumb.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
M that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
H Thank Acora. I don't know whether to believe you
or not. You've You've told so many lies already. You
were at Patricia's apartment. I know you were.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yes, I was there.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I heard that Frankie was still married to Right. I
knew he couldn't marry me then, and I knew something
was wrong. Well, I went to see her. I I
was inside her apartment when you left her there. The
manager let me and I told him I was your sister.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Then you saw who killed her.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The shots came in through the window.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I got frightened.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I may put on a lot, but I do get frightened.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I ran down the fire skating up the alley. That's
when the cab driver saw me. Fields took me home
and I told mother what happened.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And she didn't believe you. She thought you were the
one who killed Patricia and made up the story about
someone firing through the window.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yes, she made Fields and me promised to say neither
of us left the house. But when you came and.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Proved me has she called up the police and contested
to save you.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
She said she was old and didn't matter if she
went to jail. It was her way of giving me
a new start, hoping I'd change my ways.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Have you one? I just told you the truth? I
wonder you know you remind me of the boy who wolf.
Uh tell me about frank his team to beat the horses?
How does it work?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know. All I know is he's always has
the winning ticket. Seems I catch dozens of 'em.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Dozen he ever catch any of them?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh, it's always me?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Why?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh, I don't know why I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I guess it was fun. I know what about Bronson?
He's in on it? Who's he?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's an artist?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
An artist? He said he was a book dealer.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh, he has a bookshop, all right, and he's really
an artist. That's fine to tail work. I've seen some of.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It lether ground, Yes, engraving a counterfeit. It may be why,
of course that's it. That's why Done always has the
winning ticket. Bronson makes up a win ticket ahead of
time for every horse in the race, no matter which
horse wims. Done wims a very faincy idea. Now tell
(23:00):
me one thing more, Cora, How did you know Patricia
was in town? How did you know where she was staying? Well?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I overheard Lewis and Frankie talk about it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Thank you was angry frank you done? Yes? She was
afraid he'd find find out she was in town. Where's
thanks staying?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
He's got a suit at the seven six thirteen.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
All right, oh, Cora, Yes, for yours and your mother's sake.
I hope you're finally telling the truth. It's open. Come
on in mostly I'm waiting foot say no, thank you? Hmmm,
(23:45):
over coat on? Where are you going something? I've got someplace, yes,
but not where you think you're going to change places
with missus Allis. It's very funny. I know all about
the counterfeating frank you, and I know Cora was used
to front for you. You with your reputation, I couldn't
keep catching so many wing tickets. Somebody would begin to wonder.
But uh, Cordra was relatively safe. However, that isn't the
(24:09):
important thing, is it? No? Patricia's murder is? That's right?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Says, that's the important thing, And I get out of
my way.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I got a gun in this overcoat pocket.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
I don't want to have to kill you because I'm
saving these bullets for someone else. Oh, they want will
really kill my Patricia. They don't name missus Allison.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
What do you mean? A kid with too much money
no sense?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Unless feeling Cora Allison, which she said she didn't do it.
She says a lot of things, but I believe her
this time.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
She's a changed girl, h ruffled but wiser, and I
don't think she killed Patricia. You got an alibi, Frank here, Yeah,
a real good one. I love it. Is that why
she was so scared of you.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
She know I want her out of town till the
jab with Bronzo was finished. She know if I know
she was in town, out of slapped around and sent
her home.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I must say, you have a unique way of sharing
a fiction. It's my way. Oh it's very touching. Thanker.
But I don't don't think that if I would stand
up in court, this one.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Will both Moose and I were in the bar this
hotel when Patricia was killed, and the house steak and
six other people saw us.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So I guess you made a mistake. I get out
of my ways, saying I got a date with Colra.
You're not going to kill Kaorra.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Take your hand, so I make you're not gonna kill her,
saying I didn't ask for trouble with you, but you're
gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
There's your phone down, answer it all right? I will hello, Frank.
Frank it's Moose. I get a bullet in me? What
is it? Mose, Bronce, Franky, Bronsome, Bronsome, hang up the
(25:41):

I don't think you have to, Bronson. I already know
it's been a merry go round and I got a
lot of lead rings. But you're the gold woman. Yes,
you killed Patricia because she knew the deals you and
frank you were on. She never wanted Franky to be
in on it. You thought she'd dropped the wrong information
(26:02):
to the police. So everyone who knows about it has
to go. Patricia Moose me. Yes, young man, it seems
that it is now your turn. Now, bron sense your turn.
