00:30I'm going to the office, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be
00:57back in a minute, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be back in
01:27a minute, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be back in a minute, I'll be back in a minute,
02:20I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm going to get you out of here, all right?
02:47Hey, cut!
02:50What happened?
02:52Come on out of there.
02:54Now look, this is the guy that committed the murder.
02:58Now listen, I know where this guy's hideout is.
03:01If I could capture him, it'd mean a scoop for the paper and a raise for me.
03:05There's only one thing that might interfere.
03:08Who, Mabel?
03:09Yeah.
03:10No, you fool, the police.
03:13If I could keep him off the trail long enough.
03:17Mr. Stinch, get your head.
03:39Shh, be quiet.
03:48Quiet!
03:57The body of a dead man is here.
04:02But he was not murdered in this room.
04:17Come on.
04:26Perfect.
04:27The man was murdered here and his body dragged downstairs.
04:30Come on, let's get to work.
04:48Now lie down.
04:50Why?
04:51Well, I had to drag the body downstairs.
04:54I don't want the body dragged downstairs.
04:56Wait a minute, I'll explain.
04:58As soon as we leave here, I want you to go out and get yourself arrested.
05:01Confess to the murder.
05:02They'll think they have the real murder and stop looking for him.
05:05In the meantime, I'll catch a plane for Arizona where the real murder is hiding out.
05:09I'll capture him, bring him back, and have you released.
05:16Oh, be a pal.
05:17Think what it means to the paper.
05:18It's the biggest scoop there is and for me.
05:20Oh, please, just this little thing for me, won't you?
05:23I'll even split the reward with you.
05:26Reward?
05:27Yeah.
05:28Would my share amount to $98?
05:30Well, sure, I guess so.
05:32If it doesn't, I'll make up the difference.
05:34Then you're sure you'll bring the real guy back and get me out?
05:37Just as sure as you're living.
05:56Hey, come back up here.
06:08Now, here's the gun with an empty shell in it.
06:10They'll find this on you.
06:12Now, lie down so I can drag you downstairs.
06:14But I've already been down.
06:16That's no good.
06:18We've got to leave tracks that look like the body was dragged downstairs.
06:33Now, do you understand?
06:35Go right downtown and get yourself arrested.
06:37I'll do it the first thing in the morning.
06:39Well, that's all right, but don't forget.
06:42I don't like the number of this plane.
06:45I'm not superstitious.
06:47So long.
06:48So long.
07:00Yes.
07:02Yes.
07:08Stop thief!
07:11Yes.
07:14Yes.
07:18Yes.
07:22Yes.
07:23Yes.
07:30Yes.
07:35Yes.
07:42Yes.
07:46Yes.
08:02Go ahead.
08:04Yes.
08:10Yes.
08:19Yes.
08:27You can see what the sign says, can't you?
08:30Well, I'm going to teach you a lesson.
08:38Sergeant, I just caught this culprit deliberately trapping on our front lawn,
08:42causing great damage to city property.
08:45I didn't deliberately do it, sir.
08:47The wind blew my hat off and I went to get it.
08:49Is this your first offense?
08:51Yes, sir.
08:52You're off this time.
09:08I've come back to tell the truth, sir.
09:10Well?
09:11I deliberately walked on the grass.
09:13I always do, every chance I get.
09:15My boy, you shouldn't do that.
09:17But I admire you for being man enough to tell the truth.
09:19We need citizens like you, and for that reason I shan't punish you.
09:22Now run along.
09:26But I'm a murderer.
09:28Well, well.
09:29And who did you murder?
09:32The man I kidnapped, Sam Gordon.
09:37If you shot him, where'd you do it?
09:39I shot him in the attic and dragged him downstairs.
09:43Lock him up.
09:44We'll go out and investigate.
09:50The prisoner will rise and receive sentence.
09:54It is the judgment of this court that you be delivered to the warden of the state penitentiary
09:58and on the first day of May, hanged by the neck until you are dead.
10:09Court dismissed.
10:32Hey, Gordon!
10:34Oh, Gordon!
10:35Well, what do you want?
10:36I want my window fixed.
10:38There's a draft in here.
10:54Is that today's paper?
10:56No, this paper's over two weeks old.
10:58I'm just working a crossword puzzle.
11:01Can I see it when you're through with it?
11:04Here, I'm through with that part.
11:06Thanks.
11:50Gordon!
11:51Gordon!
11:52Gordon!
11:53What is it?
11:54Take me to the warden.
11:55I have a confession to make.
11:56Give me the warden's office.
11:57All right.
11:58Quick, get your notebooks ready.
11:5914093 is going to confess.
12:01Well?
12:02I'm in the building, I'm going to confess.
12:11Well?
12:12I'm in the building, I'm going to confess.
12:22Come in.
12:28Well?
12:29I'm innocent.

15:20Gee, Soto, that was swell of you fixing that break the way you did.
15:37Well, that's all right.
15:38You guys would do as much for me, wouldn't you?
15:40We sure appreciate it, though.
15:42Forget it.
15:43Relax.
15:44Say, Spike.
15:45Yeah?
15:46The guy that confessed to that kidnap murder was the same stir with you guys, wasn't he?
15:51Yeah.
15:52You ever meet him?
15:53What do you suppose that sap's idea was confessing to a job he'd never commit?
15:59It was my roommate's idea.
16:02You see, he said if I get down and confess to the crime, it would throw the police off
16:07the trail and he'd be free to go out and bring in the real murderer.
16:10Does your pal know who pulled the job?
16:12Oh, yeah.
16:14A gentleman by the name of Chopped-Off Madison.
16:23Hand me a gap.
16:26Next, Soto.
16:27Give him a fighting chance.
16:30All right.
16:32Line him up against the wall.
16:44We've been waiting for you.
16:45We spotted them over there in that shack.
16:47Okay.
16:48Come on, boys.
16:52Ready.
16:53Aim.
16:54Quiet.
16:55We're spotted.
16:59Everybody got guns?
17:00Everybody got guns?
17:30Fire!
17:31Fire!

17:58Fire!
17:59Well, I've checked every lead.
18:01That sap never murdered anybody.
18:03Why, he's an office boy in a downtown newspaper.
18:06And if he didn't kill him, who did?
18:09Soto Madison.
18:10And where is he?
18:12Right here.
18:16Why, that's Soto Madison.
18:18Grab him, men.
18:19Lock him up.
18:24Say, what did you confess for?
18:26For $98.
18:27$98?
18:28It don't make sense, fella.
18:30But congratulations.
18:41Well, so long.
18:43Here's your reward.
