00:00:40♪♪
00:00:50♪♪
00:01:00♪♪
00:01:08Thank you. I'll have it for you in about 30 minutes.
00:01:13Candid camera snapshot. Send one to the folks back home.
00:01:16Oh, not to my folks.
00:01:18You see, I'm supposed to be on a health form.
00:01:21Okay. I hope you recover very soon.
00:01:27Are you doubling as a waiter now, Cookie?
00:01:29No, this is for your brother and Faye.
00:01:32Oh, is Steve back there with her?
00:01:34Yeah, in her room.
00:01:37How about taking my picture now? No one is looking.
00:01:40You'd better get back to the drink. Tell Steve to wait for her.
00:01:49Come in.
00:01:52Oh, it's swell, Cookie. Put it on the table.
00:01:55Did you bring the cigarettes?
00:01:57You bet I did. Anything else, Faye?
00:01:59No, thanks, Cookie.
00:02:00Helen wants you to wait for her.
00:02:02Okay. Tell her I'll be here.
00:02:09Look here, Faye. We can't go on like this.
00:02:13There you go again.
00:02:14I've told you, I'm being nice to him because he's my partner.
00:02:17Oh, partner. The biggest crook in town is your partner.
00:02:21Why don't you get out of this racket, Faye?
00:02:23Because I can't right now.
00:02:25But it's no good. It's bound to get you into trouble.
00:02:28Oh, that's the copper in you talking.
00:02:31Well, it always will be.
00:02:35Come in.
00:02:39Oh, excuse me.
00:02:41What do you want, Nick?
00:02:42I'm looking for Nick.
00:02:44He isn't here.
00:02:46Yeah, I say he isn't.
00:03:03Hello, Minks. Have a drink?
00:03:05Yeah, Nick. Straight scotch and water, Jason.
00:03:08I want to get that copper taste out of my mouth.
00:03:11I suppose that means Steve is here.
00:03:14With Faye?
00:03:16That copper gets in my head.
00:03:18Every time I turn around, he's with Faye.
00:03:21Forget it. He's harmless.
00:03:22No copper's harmless.
00:03:23I said forget it.
00:03:25He's here because I want him here.
00:03:32Hammer away, Tom. This is one party. We're crashing.
00:03:38It's the cops. They're breaking down the back door.
00:03:40I told you...
00:03:41Shut up.
00:03:47All right. Take it easy, folks. There's no danger.
00:03:51Just leave quietly through the cafe.
00:03:54All right, Faye. Grab the door and knock it in his face.
00:03:56You'd better get out of here. It's a raid.
00:03:58But I'm supposed to be on duty.
00:04:00You can go out the front way.
00:04:02That's sure to be covered.
00:04:04Take it easy, folks. Take it easy.
00:04:06It ain't ready to fire yet.
00:04:12Come on, boys.
00:04:15All right. Stay right where you are, everybody.
00:04:18All right, boys. Get your evidence.
00:04:20Now go on up to the other end.
00:04:22Get up to the other end of the cafe, everybody.
00:04:40Give me that gun. You must be crazy.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:58Call an ambulance, quick.
00:05:04You two boys, take Branson and put him on the couch there.
00:05:15I don't understand. He must have lost his head.
00:05:19This is what he gets for hanging around a place like this.
00:05:23I'm holding you as a material witness.
00:05:30And I'm holding you, too.
00:05:33I don't mind going for the ride.
00:05:36My lawyer will be there soon enough.
00:05:38Taggart...
00:05:40One of these days, I'll put you where a lawyer can't get at you.
00:05:46Might do the same for you someday.
00:05:49Take him downtown. Bring her along, too.
00:05:51Frank, you stay here.
00:05:57You got him into this. You can't get away with it.
00:05:59Why, Ellen...
00:06:00Don't you dare me. If anything happens to my brother...
00:06:03Oh, Ellen, you must believe me. You must.
00:06:05I had nothing to do with it.
00:06:07I tried to keep him from shooting, but he was too strong for me.
00:06:10I don't believe a word of it.
00:06:24Fireworks at the Silver Slipper tonight, Jim.
00:06:26Two of the boys got away with some hot lead.
00:06:3015th Precinct replacing...
00:06:34Steve Branson.
00:06:38Calling Motorcycle 7-1.
00:06:417-1. Officer Rand.
00:06:44Rand reporting. Go ahead.
00:06:46Rand, this is Jim Murray speaking.
00:06:48What happened to Steve?
00:06:50He's been shot.
00:06:52Can't say how badly he's hurt, Jim.
00:06:54He's at the Fairview Hospital.
00:06:56Thanks.
00:06:58Pete, take over for me, will you?
00:07:00I'll be at the Fairview Hospital.
00:07:08Is this Steve Branson's room?
00:07:10Yes. Are you a relative?
00:07:11No, I'm Jim Murray, his friend.
00:07:13Oh, yes. Mr. Branson asked us to call you.
00:07:15How is he?
00:07:16He's conscious now, but his condition is critical.
00:07:19Try not to tire him. Go right in.
00:07:21Thank you, nurse.
00:07:28Jim...
00:07:29Oh, Jim, I'm afraid...
00:07:31Now, take it easy, Ellen. Steve will be all right.
00:07:33We cops are tough.
00:07:35I'll go, baby.
00:07:37You and me alone for a while.
00:07:39You better wait outside for me.
00:07:41All right.
00:07:43Call me if anything...
00:07:44Nothing will happen. Now, you run along.
00:07:57How do you feel, Steve?
00:07:59Oh, not too bad.
00:08:01Just punctured a little here and there, but...
00:08:04The doctors patched me up pretty well.
00:08:07Steve...
00:08:10Will you tell me the truth?
00:08:12What happened?
00:08:16Just one of those things.
00:08:19Remember...
00:08:21Remember me telling you about a girl in the suit with a slipper?
00:08:25Faye, Faye Saunders.
00:08:28Well, I fell for her.
00:08:31That turned out to be the wrong setup for me.
00:08:35She double-crossed me.
00:08:38What do you mean?
00:08:40I didn't do the shooting.
00:08:43Faye did it.
00:08:45She grabbed my gun and shot it before I could get it away from her.
00:08:50When I did get the gun...
00:08:53It was too late.
00:08:55I was shot.
00:08:58Your father found me with the gun in my hand.
00:09:01Steve, did you tell this to my father?
00:09:05He wouldn't have believed me.
00:09:08I shouldn't have been at the club in the first place.
00:09:12You just can't let it go like this.
00:09:14I'll make him believe it.
00:09:17He'll have tough going, Jim.
00:09:21And, Jim...
00:09:23There's something you must do right away.
00:09:27It's about your father.
00:09:30I don't know how you're going to manage it, but...
00:09:33You've got to get him out of the apartment.
00:09:36Now, wait, Steve.
00:09:39Say that again.
00:09:42I can't explain, Jim.
00:09:44There isn't enough time.
00:09:48But get him out...
00:09:50Before he's carried out feet first.
00:09:53But, Steve...
00:09:55You don't know the old man if you think he'll get out before he's forced to retire.
00:09:59He'll never quit.
00:10:01That's all the more reason why he must get out.
00:10:04He busted up Taggart's place.
00:10:07He signed his own death warrant.
00:10:10My dad's never been afraid of hoodlums.
00:10:13Steve, you don't know what you're asking me to do.
00:10:16Oh, yes, I do.
00:10:18I know what a stubborn old man he is.
00:10:21And how proud he is.
00:10:23He's been good to me.
00:10:27And I want to go out...
00:10:29Feeling that I've done something for him.
00:10:35Don't talk anymore, Steve.
00:10:38I'll call the nurse.
00:10:40And, Jim...
00:10:42One thing more.
00:10:46Ellen...
00:10:47We'll be married soon, Steve.
00:10:50I'll take care of her.
00:10:53I know you will.
00:10:59You'd better go now, Mr. Murray.
00:11:07Jim...
00:11:09Do me a favor, will you?
00:11:14On your way out...
00:11:17Throw this in the ash can.
00:11:33So long, Steve.
00:11:35I'll send Ellen in.
00:11:42Jim, what did he say?
00:11:44Now, now, take it easy.
00:11:46Steve will be okay.
00:11:48Right now, he needs every bit of strength you can give him.
00:11:51Keep your chin up.
00:11:54All right.
00:12:03Well, Jim, you must be out of your head to believe that rot.
00:12:06Or maybe Steve was out of his head when he told it to you.
00:12:09Steve was as sane as I am.
00:12:11But you can't think that I would ever quit.
00:12:13Not you, Jim.
00:12:14But, Dad, I believe Steve because...
00:12:16Well, because he had no reason to lie to me.
00:12:18You've known for months that you've been on his spot.
00:12:20That they threatened to kill you.
00:12:22Listen, son, and I want you to remember this always.
00:12:26I'll never quit.
00:12:28Never.
00:12:30No more than I'd expect a son of mine to quit.
00:12:33It doesn't go with the shade of our blood.
00:12:37So don't worry about me, sir.
00:12:40Hello, Jim. Strangers this way, aren't you?
00:12:42Kind of.
00:12:43Here's the complete report on that silver slipper affair, sir.
00:12:45All right.
00:12:46Also, face on the sworn statement that Bronson did the shooting.
00:12:48That's all, John.
00:12:49You can leave them here for the time being.
00:12:57I can't explain, Jim.
00:12:59There isn't enough time.
00:13:03But...
00:13:04But get him off...
00:13:06Before he's carried out feet first.
00:13:19Why, what's on your mind, son?
00:13:23Dad, I want to be transferred here to the 15th.
00:13:26Why, Jim, you're doing a great job where you are now.
00:13:29But I want to be on active duty, in your outfit, Dad.
00:13:32Pretty good outfit, son.
00:13:34But you're in line for promotion down at headquarters.
00:13:36Now, be sensible.
00:13:38No, but I want to be with the motorcycle squad.
00:13:40Where there's some activity, where there's something going on all the time.
00:13:43Not just cooped up in a room.
00:13:45Can't do much for you in this precinct, Jim.
00:13:47See, I can't show any favoritism.
00:13:50I'll take my chances.
00:13:52How about it, Dad?
00:13:53I don't know.
00:13:55I'll have to think it over.
00:14:00Yes?
00:14:01Oh, yes, Doctor.
00:14:04Yes.
00:14:05Yeah, all right.
00:14:06First thing in the morning.
00:14:08Yes.
00:14:11It's about Steve.
00:14:13He's gone.
00:14:34Miss Saunders?
00:14:35Yes?
00:14:36I'd like to see you a moment.
00:14:37I'm very busy.
00:14:38Just a minute.
00:14:40What do you want?
00:14:41What do you want?
00:14:42I have a message for you from Steve Bronson.
00:14:46Oh.
00:14:48Come in.
00:14:59Sit down, won't you?
00:15:02Steve asked me to return this to you.
00:15:04Personally.
00:15:05Oh.
00:15:07Why?
00:15:08It's his. I gave it to him.
00:15:09He won't be needing it any longer.
00:15:11Oh, no, don't tell me he...
00:15:13I'm afraid he is.
00:15:14Oh, that's terrible.
00:15:16He was such a swell guy, too.
00:15:19And to think, because he just made one little mistake...
00:15:23I'm afraid he did, Miss Saunders.
00:15:25Just one.
00:15:26His name is a disgrace in the department forever.
00:15:29Not even his death makes any difference.
00:15:31And he was a swell cop, too.
00:15:34You were a friend of his, weren't you?
00:15:36Yeah.
00:15:37Cop, too, aren't you?
00:15:38I was.
00:15:40Kicked out?
00:15:41No, I'm quitting.
00:15:42Quitting?
00:15:44I don't like the way they feel about Steve.
00:15:47Steve didn't mean to do it.
00:15:49Nobody in the department believes that.
00:15:51Well, I guess I'd better be going.
00:15:54Thanks for bringing me to watch, Mr...
00:15:55I don't even know your name.
00:15:57Murray. Jim Murray.
00:15:59Captain Murray's son?
00:16:00That's right. But don't hold that against me.
00:16:03Your father was the one who started it all.
00:16:06He's the main reason I'm quitting.
00:16:08Oh.
00:16:10I wouldn't be too hasty about that if I were you.
00:16:12You'll only be cutting off your own nose to spite the cops.
00:16:15Maybe.
00:16:16That's the way I feel about it.
00:16:18Well, it's been pleasant knowing you, Miss Saunders.
00:16:21My friends call me Fay.
00:16:24Am I a friend?
00:16:26Up to you.
00:16:36You know, boss, I figure horses are smarter than people.
00:16:40Yeah. Some people.
00:16:42No. All people.
00:16:45What's worrying that lame brain of yours now?
00:16:47Well, you put 10 horses in a race and 5,000 people will watch them run.
00:16:52Yeah, yeah.
00:16:53But if you put 5,000 people in a race,
00:16:56I'll bet you can't get 10 horses to watch them run.
00:17:00You and your cockeyed philosophy.
00:17:02Hey, boss, what did that cop want?
00:17:04Was it about the shooting?
00:17:05What cop?
00:17:06The cop was just here. I saw him go out.
00:17:09Are you seeing things?
00:17:10But he was a cop, I tell you. I got a flash of his badge.
00:17:13That's right. There was a cop here.
00:17:15All right, boys. Beat it.
00:17:20What about this cop?
00:17:21What did he want?
00:17:22A little social call.
00:17:24What's all this mystery about?
00:17:25I'd like to know everything about him.
00:17:27I don't know anything about him.
00:17:29Don't do that.
00:17:30Don't you like my new lipstick?
00:17:33Never mind about that. What about the cop?
00:17:35He's Captain Murray's son.
00:17:37And he's quitting the force.
00:17:39Don't give me that.
00:17:40Why should he come here to tell that to you?
00:17:43Didn't he?
00:17:44He brought back a present that I'd given Steve a long time ago.
00:17:47Oh, it's nothing, Nick. Nothing.
00:17:48Oh?
00:17:50You see, he's Steve's son.
00:17:52And he's a cop.
00:17:53And he's a cop.
00:17:54And he's a cop.
00:17:55And he's a cop.
00:17:56And he's a cop.
00:17:57You see, he's Steve's best friend.
00:18:00And he's burned up because the cops
00:18:02drummed Steve out of the regiment.
00:18:04That's not on the level.
00:18:06Now look, Nick.
00:18:07Give me credit for knowing my men.
00:18:09This one is on the level.
00:18:11What's more, we can use him.
00:18:13Think we can, huh?
00:18:14Sure.
00:18:15Same way we used Steve.
00:18:17Only Jim will be able to get us the dope
00:18:19straight from the feed box.
00:18:21So you call him Jim already?
00:18:23Why not?
00:18:24He's not going to be a stranger around here.
00:18:27Well, I don't like it.
00:18:28Now look, Nick.
00:18:29We need somebody in the department.
00:18:32Jim will do it for us.
00:18:33I know.
00:18:34He hates his father.
00:18:35He's no good to us if he quits the force.
00:18:38I think I can get him to stay.
00:18:41Well, you know what I think?
00:18:43I think Murray sent him here to find out
00:18:45about that Bronson shooting.
00:18:47Not a chance.
00:18:49Jim told me the whole department thinks Steve did it.
00:18:51And Steve's dead.
00:18:53It's too bad you lost your head, Faye.
00:18:57Why did you do it?
00:18:59You know I'd do anything in the world for you.
00:19:02I wanted to protect you.
00:19:04Well, I didn't need that kind of protection.
00:19:06Oh, yes, you did.
00:19:09You saw that cop start to draw his gun.
00:19:12I didn't see anything I had my hands for.
00:19:15Say you had.
00:19:16I opened the door and saw you struggling with those cops
00:19:19and getting the worst of it while I just grabbed
00:19:21Steve's gun and fired.
00:19:23I didn't mean to kill the cop.
00:19:26I do wish you'd stay, darling.
00:19:29Jim will be home for lunch any minute now.
00:19:32I'd like to, but I promised I'd go down and see about my new job.
00:19:35Now, listen.
00:19:38Why don't you forget about getting a job
00:19:40and stay with us till you and Jim are married?
00:19:43Jim wants you here.
00:19:45No, Mother, I'd be too much a bother.
00:19:47And anyway...
00:19:48Anyway what?
00:19:51You're not worried about the captain
00:19:53the way he feels about you?
00:19:54Well, no.
00:19:56Oh, don't be foolish, Ellen.
00:19:58Why, the captain's crazy about you.
00:20:01He already speaks of you as his daughter.
00:20:03Oh, but after what happened to my brother...
00:20:05Now, now, darling.
00:20:07You promised not to speak of that again.
00:20:11Oh, there's Jim.
00:20:12And the lunch isn't even ready.
00:20:16Hello, son.
00:20:19Jim, I wish you'd talk to Ellen.
00:20:21She's being very obstinate.
00:20:23Make her stay for lunch.
00:20:25All right, Mom.
00:20:26And I'm starving myself.
00:20:27How about it?
00:20:30Ellen, I've got something important to tell you.
00:20:34I've just come from talking to Faye Saunders.
00:20:37Oh.
00:20:38Oh, I know what she is as well as you do,
00:20:40but right now she's important to us.
00:20:42How?
00:20:43Taggart has threatened to kill Dad.
00:20:45And Faye can help me prevent it.
00:20:47Why should she help you, a policeman?
00:20:49I just convinced her that I'm fed up with the force.
00:20:51You see, what I've got to do is get in with that Taggart gang
00:20:54to find out who the higher-ups are,
00:20:56the men really behind him.
00:20:58I must stop those men before they get Dad.
00:21:01But Jim, they'll kill you like they killed Steve.
00:21:04No, Ellen.
00:21:05I'm going in with my eyes wide open.
00:21:07It'll be a great chance to clear Steve's name, too.
00:21:10What do you want me to do?
00:21:13You continue on at the Silver Slipper
00:21:14just as though nothing happened.
00:21:16We must work together.
00:21:19We've got a job to do, Ellen.
00:21:21A big job.
00:21:23Please be careful.
00:21:30Go right ahead, children.
00:21:31Don't let me stop you.
00:21:32It's all settled, Mother.
00:21:34Ellen is staying here.
00:21:35Oh, darling, I'm so happy.
00:21:43People won't stand for the headlines
00:21:44like we had this morning.
00:21:46You know, I've always stood for a clean government
00:21:48and a safe city.
00:21:49I know, John.
00:21:50I know.
00:21:51One of my complaints about you, you've lost your punch.
00:21:53I need a man in your job who'll keep the people happy.
00:21:57Frankly, John, I don't understand your policy.
00:22:00You're not consistent.
00:22:02First, you tell me to clamp down hard on a certain element.
00:22:05Then you tell me to ease up on it.
00:22:07My resignation is ready any time you appoint another man.
00:22:10I know, but Bob...
00:22:11And I'll tell you who that man is going to be
00:22:14and why.
00:22:15Now, Bob, wait a minute.
00:22:17There's no need to get excited.
00:22:18I'm not excited.
00:22:19I'm relieved, John.
00:22:21But there will be considerable excitement
00:22:23when you've appointed this man I have in mind.
00:22:26What do you mean?
00:22:27You know, John, the job of police commissioner in this town
00:22:29is a tough one.
00:22:30But I know a man who likes it that way.
00:22:33Captain Murray of the 15th Precinct.
00:22:35The public wants him, the press is boosting him,
00:22:37and you're going to appoint him,
00:22:39whether you like it or not.
00:22:45Murray will make you an excellent commissioner.
00:22:48He's a policeman, not a politician.
00:22:57Sorry, Commissioner.
00:22:59My fault.
00:23:00Don't mention it, Taggart.
00:23:02You won't be getting in my way anymore.
00:23:05Thought I told you never to see me in this office.
00:23:08So you did, Mr. Baird, so you did.
00:23:10But, uh, after reading this morning's papers,
00:23:13I thought you might want to see me.
00:23:15Maybe, but not here.
00:23:17What's on your mind?
00:23:18Oh, a lot of things.
00:23:20That raid, for one.
00:23:22I didn't order it.
00:23:23Neither did the commissioner.
00:23:26Oh.
00:23:28So I'm not going to see you.
00:23:32Oh.
00:23:34So Murray is boss now, huh?
00:23:36Well, he thinks he is, and I don't like it a bit.
00:23:38Well, I'm glad we agree on that.
00:23:41Now, how about taking the padlock off my place?
00:23:45That's not going to be so easy.
00:23:47You'll need a lot of money with the election coming up.
00:23:51Yeah, that's so.
00:23:52And you know you can always count on me.
00:23:55That is, if conditions are right.
00:23:58Sure, sure, sure.
00:24:01But that isn't what's worrying me.
00:24:03Commissioner Trent's resigning, and...
00:24:06I guess I'll have to appoint Murray.
00:24:08Well, that just can't happen.
00:24:10What can I do?
00:24:12Murray is a hero in the headlines.
00:24:14He can be a corpse in the headlines, too.
00:24:17It isn't going to be so easy to get rid of him.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20I've got a couple of men who are very efficient in that line.
00:24:23Now, no rough stuff, Nick.
00:24:25But I'll leave it to you.
00:24:27Be seeing you, Mr. Baird.
00:24:30I'm on my way to Captain Murray's office.
00:24:34Shall I give me your best regards?
00:24:36What do you mean?
00:24:37Send for me for another chat, I guess.
00:24:40I'll be sure to come to my reopening, Mr. Baird.
00:24:43Remember, Nick.
00:24:45Don't try to see me here again.
00:24:47If we have to talk, I'll look you up.
00:24:50It'll be a pleasure, John.
00:25:01I'm not going to waste much time with you, Taggart.
00:25:04It's OK with me.
00:25:05I'm a pretty busy man myself.
00:25:07Yeah?
00:25:08Well, you're going to be a lot busier.
00:25:10Pack up and get out of town.
00:25:12Oh, no.
00:25:13I like it here.
00:25:15If you don't get out, I'll make it so hot for you
00:25:18that you'll be glad to leave.
00:25:20Now, I'm giving you a fair warning, Taggart.
00:25:22I don't like you.
00:25:24I don't like you.
00:25:27I don't like you.
00:25:29And I've lost two of my best men in your dive,
00:25:32and I'll never forget it.
00:25:34Well, keep your cops out of my dive.
00:25:37From now on, any place you run is marked.
00:25:40You can't scare me, Captain.
00:25:42This is my town as much as it is yours,
00:25:45and I'm staying.
00:25:48Oh, you feel pretty sure of yourself, don't you?
00:25:51You bet I do.
00:25:53And what's more, I'm reopening tonight.
00:25:57Try and stop me.
00:25:59Who gave you the authority to do that?
00:26:02The license bureau?
00:26:04Orders from higher up?
00:26:07The commission will never stand for that.
00:26:09Your place is a cesspool of public menace.
00:26:14And I'll close it up again and again.
00:26:18Captain, this fighting isn't getting us anywhere.
00:26:21We're a couple of grown men.
00:26:23We know what it's all about.
00:26:26Now, uh, why don't you be smart?
00:26:29Why don't you play ball with me?
00:26:32I don't...
00:26:43All right, Captain.
00:26:46I guess you don't want to play ball with me.
00:26:50Get out.
00:26:55Get out.
00:27:25Get out.
00:27:55Get out.
00:28:25Get out.
00:28:56Well, this is a surprise.
00:28:58The Northwest Mountains.
00:29:00Just in time to get my woman.
00:29:02Want an escort?
00:29:03Not till you tell me where you've been.
00:29:05Oh, how's bouncing around on my bicycle?
00:29:08The last time I saw you, you were gonna quit.
00:29:11I took your advice about cutting off my nose to spite the cops.
00:29:14When I get something better lined up, I am quitting.
00:29:19Mighty handsome in that uniform.
00:29:22If you weren't wearing it, I might take you with me.
00:29:25I'll take it off.
00:29:27There isn't time.
00:29:28The horses are practically at the post now.
00:29:30Oh, my favorite sport.
00:29:32I've got a hot tip, and I'm on my way to my favorite bookie.
00:29:35How about taking me along?
00:29:37Aren't you supposed to be on duty?
00:29:39Not when I play the horses.
00:29:41Okay, hop in.
00:29:43Wait till I park my bike.
00:29:53Well, young lady, don't you believe in the law?
00:29:55Let me see your license.
00:29:57What's the matter?
00:29:58You're parked in front of a hydrant.
00:30:00Look, big boy, I'm in a hurry.
00:30:07I didn't park this car alongside the hydrant.
00:30:10I don't think it got there.
00:30:11Walked?
00:30:12No, I didn't.
00:30:13I'm in a hurry.
00:30:14I'm in a hurry.
00:30:15I'm in a hurry.
00:30:16I'm in a hurry.
00:30:17I'm in a hurry.
00:30:18I'm in a hurry.
00:30:19I'm in a hurry.
00:30:20I'm in a hurry.
00:30:21I don't think it got there.
00:30:22Walked?
00:30:23I don't know what the gag is, but two can play this game.
00:30:31Come on.
00:30:32Come with me.
00:30:37You're coming with me.
00:30:38I am not.
00:30:39Come on, I said.
00:30:40Get out of this car.
00:30:41Leave her alone.
00:30:42What's the matter with you?
00:30:43She just tore up a ticket.
00:30:44I said leave her alone.
00:30:45He's drunk or something.
00:30:46Come on, sister.
00:30:47You're coming downtown with me.
00:30:48I said leave that girl alone.
00:30:50Go on, honey.
00:30:51Hurry up.
00:30:52Oh, thanks, Jim.
00:30:53I hope this won't get you into any trouble.
00:30:54Don't worry.
00:30:55Everything will be all right.
00:31:01Nice going, Murray.
00:31:02You'll get a medal for this.
00:31:14You, James Murray, motorcycle policeman
00:31:16attached to the 15th precinct for conduct
00:31:18unbecoming an officer on three counts to wit,
00:31:21aiding an arrested person to escape,
00:31:23striking a fellow officer trying to do his duty,
00:31:25resisting arrest.
00:31:27You, James Murray, having been found guilty,
00:31:29are hereby dishonorably discharged
00:31:31from the police department, said discharged
00:31:33to take effect immediately and irrevocably by order
00:31:37of the police commissioner.
00:31:40You've disgraced yourself, and I'm ashamed of you.
00:31:49Now, get out.
00:31:55All right, Murray.
00:31:56Beat it.
00:32:03Men, fall out.
00:32:13Oh, Jim.
00:32:14Goodbye, Mom.
00:32:17Goodbye, son.
00:32:21Well, Dad, you'd better get going.
00:32:25Someday, maybe you'll learn the meaning of the word loyalty.
00:32:29Maybe.
00:32:33Goodbye, Ellen.
00:32:34Oh, why did this have to happen?
00:33:04How can you eat that stuff with that good beer?
00:33:07You don't know what's good.
00:33:08But I don't think I like Mother Peek's cookies
00:33:10as good as I do Andy Miller's patty cakes.
00:33:13Andy Miller's patty cakes.
00:33:15Jim, come over to the table a minute.
00:33:23Jim, you're satisfied with what Nick's paying you,
00:33:26aren't you?
00:33:27Yes, but frankly, I don't think I'm earning it.
00:33:30To be just as frank, neither does Nick.
00:33:32You see, we're sort of a cooperative outfit.
00:33:35Everybody's supposed to do his share.
00:33:37Well, I'm ready to do my share.
00:33:39I've just been thinking of an idea, a big idea,
00:33:42one that's worth real money.
00:33:43Well, now you're talking our language.
00:33:45Tell me about it.
00:33:46Fay and that cop are together all the time lately.
00:33:49So what?
00:33:50He's one of us, ain't he?
00:33:51Once a cop, always a cop.
00:33:53I don't know.
00:33:54Even cops reform sometimes.
00:33:57Suppose we talk it over with Nick.
00:33:59No.
00:34:00You wait a minute.
00:34:01I'll find him.
00:34:02You see, I'm still trying to sell you to Nick.
00:34:06If he likes your idea, you're set.
00:34:18Can you take my picture now?
00:34:20Not now, Cookie.
00:34:21Later.
00:34:22Oh, Ellen, you ain't busy now.
00:34:25Want a picture, mister?
00:34:26Something for your memory book?
00:34:28Hello, Ellen.
00:34:30What's the matter?
00:34:31You afraid Fay'll see you talking to me?
00:34:33You wouldn't be a little jealous, would you?
00:34:35Every time I see you, you're with her.
00:34:37Oh, now, she's no competition.
00:34:39You know that.
00:34:40I didn't think so.
00:34:42I'm glad that's settled.
00:34:43How's Mom?
00:34:44She misses you, of course.
00:34:46But she's all right.
00:34:47And Dad?
00:34:49He's taking it pretty hard.
00:34:52He loves you, Jim.
00:34:54You're still his son regardless.
00:34:56Oh, I know how he feels.
00:34:57But what can I do?
00:34:58I've got to go through with this no matter how tough it is on everyone.
00:35:01I know.
00:35:03Oh, there you go again.
00:35:04Afraid someone will see us.
00:35:06I wish this whole business were over with.
00:35:08Oh, I'm sorry, Ellen.
00:35:10It's nerves, I guess.
00:35:11Fay isn't talking to Taggart.
00:35:13Things will start happening.
00:35:14Well, I still don't see what's so funny.
00:35:16It is funny.
00:35:18You worrying about an ex-cop who's worrying about you.
00:35:21Like a dog chasing his own tail.
00:35:23Well, you ought to know all about him.
00:35:25You've been pretty cozy with him lately.
00:35:27Why, Nick, you wouldn't be getting a little green around the eyes, would you?
00:35:31That bird's been hanging around here for a couple of weeks,
00:35:33and you told me he was going to be valuable.
00:35:35He is valuable.
00:35:39Suppose I tell you something you should have seen a long time ago.
00:35:43You can get Captain Murray once and for all through his son
00:35:48without sticking out your own neck.
00:35:50Well, now you're talking.
00:35:52Hey, Nick wants to see you.
00:35:56Come on.
00:36:06All right, mate.
00:36:12All right, Jim.
00:36:13What's this big idea of yours that Fay was telling me about?
00:36:16My beat used to be the fur district.
00:36:18I know every street and alley in that district like the palm of my hand.
00:36:22I know how to get into the storage lofts where the expensive furs are kept.
00:36:25Why, that district's crawling with cops.
00:36:27Anyhow, how would you get around the burglar lock?
00:36:29Well, that's a cinch for me.
00:36:30I can disconnect them in five seconds.
00:36:32Well, if you can do that, you're a magician.
00:36:34What'd that tell you?
00:36:35Well, maybe.
00:36:36But I knew only one man who could disconnect those kind of wires,
00:36:38and right now he's doing ten years.
00:36:40I know every wire and those alarms, Nick.
00:36:42And so?
00:36:44Okay, take Migs and Cookie and do your stuff,
00:36:47and it better be good and plenty.
00:36:49Oh, Migs.
00:36:52What did Jim tell you?
00:36:58Well, we'll soon ought to know.
00:37:01You are the toughest guy to convince.
00:37:07Cookie.
00:37:10We got a new boss.
00:37:11We're going out on a fur job tonight, and we'll need a truck.
00:37:13There's one up at the hideout.
00:37:15Well, let's go get it.
00:37:16Got a car?
00:37:17We can go up in my coupe.
00:37:18Okay, let's go.
00:37:26You take Cookie in the car.
00:37:27I'll follow along on my motorcycle.
00:37:29Maybe I can dump it up there.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:49Where can I park this thing?
00:37:50Right in the garage.
00:37:51Cookie, get my hand.
00:37:54Right in here.
00:38:04Come on, let's get going.
00:38:10Come on.
00:38:33The wires run along the ceiling and around the back.
00:38:35I'll go and fix them.
00:38:37You stay here and look out for the watchman.
00:38:54It's spooky around here.
00:38:55It ain't spooks I'm afraid of.
00:38:57Don't say that.
00:39:03Don't sneeze, not now.
00:39:05I can't help it.
00:39:06It's the furs.
00:39:08They give me hay fever.
00:39:21It's all fixed.
00:39:22Now it's up to you.
00:39:23Are you sure the alarm's off?
00:39:24Positive.
00:39:25I better find the watchman and take care of him.
00:39:27I'll go ahead and do your stuff.
00:39:57Hey, Joe.
00:40:02Alarm at the Rogers fur storage.
00:40:03Warn the watchman.
00:40:07Police department.
00:40:26Stick him up.
00:40:41We gotta wait for Jim.
00:40:42Never mind Jim.
00:41:12What happened to those guys?
00:41:14Relax, will you?
00:41:15Nick, you make me nervous.
00:41:17Come in.
00:41:20Hey, what happened?
00:41:21Jim brought the cops down on us.
00:41:23Why, if that stool pigeon double-crossed me...
00:41:25Wait a minute.
00:41:26What do you mean he brought the cops down on you?
00:41:27He told us the wires are fixed.
00:41:29Next thing we know, the cops are there and Jim ain't.
00:41:32But we gotta wait clean.
00:41:34Well, where's Jim now?
00:41:35I don't know, but I'll bet you won't be seeing him.
00:41:39Come in.
00:41:41What's the idea of running out on me?
00:41:42You got a lot of nerve.
00:41:44Me run out on you?
00:41:45Just a minute.
00:41:47Suppose you tell us, Jim.
00:41:49I wanted to make sure about the watchman, so I went looking for him.
00:41:51Then I heard the sirens down the street and took a run for it.
00:41:54When I got outside, the truck was gone.
00:41:56You see?
00:41:57Let me handle this.
00:41:59Jim, did you take care of that burglar alarm?
00:42:01Certainly.
00:42:02Well, then what brought the cops?
00:42:03I don't know.
00:42:04Maybe the watchman heard us and called the cops.
00:42:05That's right, Nick.
00:42:07The watchman came pussyfooting in with a gun when Jim was looking for him.
00:42:10Well, that doesn't sound right to me.
00:42:13That don't to me, either.
00:42:15Nick, it was just a tough break, that's all.
00:42:17Why should I put myself on the spot?
00:42:19You know how I rate with the cops.
00:42:21Maybe that makes sense, Nick.
00:42:23Well, maybe it wasn't your fault after all, Jim.
00:42:26All right, beat it.
00:42:37Welcome, Mr. Mayor.
00:42:57Well.
00:42:59What do I owe the honor of this sudden visit?
00:43:01Nick, you've fallen down on me.
00:43:03My, my, my.
00:43:04That's too bad, Mr. Mayor.
00:43:06Sit down.
00:43:07You promised to do something about Captain Murray.
00:43:10Oh, Murray.
00:43:11Yes.
00:43:12He's stronger than ever.
00:43:13All the blue noses and reformers are behind him.
00:43:16They're organizing all sorts of good government committees.
00:43:18That man will cost you a fortune.
00:43:20I'm sure of it.
00:43:22They're organizing all sorts of good government committees.
00:43:25That man will cost me the election.
00:43:27I told you I'd get him, and I will.
00:43:30I got a long score to settle with him.
00:43:32Well, then settle it before he settles us.
00:43:35Nick, this election's costing more money than we expected.
00:43:40That always happens, Mr. Mayor.
00:43:42So I'm prepared for the emergency.
00:43:48Oh, Ellen.
00:43:53What's the matter?
00:43:55I just heard Nick call somebody, Mr. Mayor.
00:43:58Mr. Mayor.
00:44:01I hope you got enough there to buy a few votes.
00:44:10Can you get a picture of that?
00:44:25What's that?
00:44:27I guess an electric light.
00:44:28Well, it blew out.
00:44:37Here it is.
00:44:38I'll have it developed right away.
00:44:39Ellen, at last we've got just what we want.
00:44:43Hurry.
00:44:50Well, so long, Nick.
00:44:51I'll be seeing you.
00:44:54Goodbye, Mr. Mayor.
00:45:14I'll take that roll of film, Ellen.
00:45:16Film?
00:45:17I don't know what you mean.
00:45:18What film?
00:45:25I know you shot a picture through that transom,
00:45:27and you can't fool me with this new roll.
00:45:30Where's that film?
00:45:31But I haven't got it.
00:45:33Hand it over, I said.
00:45:35I'll tell you, I haven't got it.
00:45:52I'll give you just one more chance.
00:45:54Where is that film?
00:45:55All right, I'll tell you.
00:45:57I gave it to Jim, and you can't do a thing about it.
00:45:59If you dare hurt me, you'll only make things worse for yourself.
00:46:02Why, I ought to...
00:46:06Cookie, take Ellen into my office and keep her there.
00:46:12What did you do to make the boss sore?
00:46:14Cookie, if you knew what was good for you, you'd beat it.
00:46:16The heat's going to be on for Nick and his whole gang.
00:46:18I couldn't do that.
00:46:19Nick would kill me.
00:46:21You must let me go.
00:46:22I've got to warn Jim.
00:46:23Honest, Ellen, you heard what Nick said.
00:46:25I can't let you go.
00:46:26Come on in the office.
00:46:31Murray, you're supposed to be watching him.
00:46:33I was just going to tell you, he's having his picture took.
00:46:35He's what?
00:46:36He ducked into that picture joint across the street.
00:46:39Come on.
00:46:44How much longer will it take to develop?
00:46:46Oh, about 10 or 15 minutes.
00:46:48Make yourself comfortable.
00:46:50I'll make it as fast as I can.
00:46:51All right.
00:47:06All right.
00:47:07Hand over that film.
00:47:09Film?
00:47:10Listen, Murray, I'm not playing any more games with you.
00:47:13Ellen told me she gave you that film, so hand it over.
00:47:17All right.
00:47:18You win.
00:47:19I'll get back to the club.
00:47:30What's the matter, Cookie?
00:47:32Nick told me to watch Ellen.
00:47:34Watch Ellen?
00:47:35Why?
00:47:36Because I got the goods on him.
00:47:37She took some kind of a picture of Nick and the mayor.
00:47:40Why, you little stool pigeon.
00:47:43I knew we should have gotten rid of you a long time ago.
00:47:47If you get Nick into any trouble, you're going to answer to me.
00:47:49Now give me that picture.
00:47:50I haven't got it.
00:47:55Now look, Ellen, you can trust me.
00:47:58You give me the picture, and I'll see that nothing happens to you.
00:48:01I'll protect you from Nick.
00:48:03I'm afraid your protection won't do her any good.
00:48:06I was only trying to help, Nick.
00:48:07Yeah, well, you helped me for the last time.
00:48:09You were the one who brought Jim here.
00:48:11Told him he'd be a great help to us.
00:48:13Yeah, a great help to the cops.
00:48:15You've been making a fool out of me long enough.
00:48:17Rigging in the cops on me and getting me raided.
00:48:20Why, Nick, you're crazy.
00:48:21What's got into you?
00:48:22A little sense for a change.
00:48:23I know you've been trying to get rid of me.
00:48:25Trying to feather your own nest.
00:48:27Oh, Nick, you must be out of your head.
00:48:28Am I?
00:48:29Well, first it was that Bronson cop.
00:48:31And that mess.
00:48:32From fave for always.
00:48:34You weren't kidding me a bit.
00:48:36And it was that cop Murray.
00:48:38I watched you with him.
00:48:39You brought him here to help get me.
00:48:42Nick, you don't know what you're saying.
00:48:44You know where you stand with me.
00:48:46Yeah?
00:48:47Well, I'll show you where you stand with me.
00:48:49And where you have stood for a long time.
00:49:02I'll say you had.
00:49:04When I opened the door and saw you struggling with those cops
00:49:06and getting the worst of it, I grabbed Steve's gun and fired.
00:49:09I didn't mean to kill the cop.
00:49:12Steve took the gun away from me in time for the cops to see him holding it.
00:49:15Naturally, they thought he did the shooting.
00:49:17Then the cop struggling with you fired right at Steve and dropped him.
00:49:20Steve wasn't able to say a word.
00:49:22Even if he could talk, they wouldn't have believed him.
00:49:24Sure looked like he did the killing all right.
00:49:27You know the rest, Nick.
00:49:28Just you and I.
00:49:30No one else.
00:49:36Of all the dirty, rotten tricks to pull on someone who loves you,
00:49:42I wouldn't have believed it possible.
00:49:45When I think of the things I've done for you.
00:49:48But that's over now, Mr. Taggart.
00:49:51I hate you like I've never hated anything in my life.
00:49:55And if it's the last thing I do, I'm going to get even with you.
00:49:59I can pull a few tricks myself.
00:50:02A few you don't know about.
00:50:04If I hadn't kept my mouth shut, you'd be serving a life sentence right now instead of the wrong guy.
00:50:07Yeah, I'm talking about the Martin murder.
00:50:10You forgot that I knew about that.
00:50:12Love, why, you don't even know the meaning of the word.
00:50:14I can see that now.
00:50:16The only thing you ever loved in life was yourself.
00:50:19Why didn't I tell them what happened to the gun when you double-crossed the O'Malley mob?
00:50:23Double-cross.
00:50:25Double-cross.
00:50:26Why, you double-crossed your own mother.
00:50:28I could have double-crossed you then, couldn't I?
00:50:30But I didn't.
00:50:31No.
00:50:32I had to come back and hang around here so you could make a record of what I say.
00:50:35Well, why don't you make a record of what I'm saying now?
00:50:37Yeah.
00:50:38What's happened to that state's witness who was going to testify against you in the Gomez shooting, huh?
00:50:43I suppose I tipped off the cops about that.
00:50:46Oh, I could kill you in cold blood.
00:50:49But I won't have to.
00:50:51Because I'm going to spill everything I know.
00:50:54Captain Murray will be very glad to find out who fired those shots through his window
00:50:57and how you plan to get him through his son.
00:50:59Boy, will you burn.
00:51:00And will I be glad to see that.
00:51:02Why, when I get through with you, there won't be that much of you left to give orders to us as if we were dirt.
00:51:06Yeah, dirt.
00:51:07And then double-cross us because we do what we're told.
00:51:09Yes, I can see that now.
00:51:11I'd have crawled on my hands and my knees for you if you'd asked me to.
00:51:13But you just try and make me crawl now, Mr. Taggart.
00:51:16You dirty, cold, impenetrable...
00:51:30You killed her.
00:51:32You murdered her.
00:51:33You can't get away with it.
00:51:35Okay.
00:51:37Take her to the hideout and have Miggs take Murray there, too.
00:51:49Jim.
00:51:51Ellen, are you all right?
00:51:53Jim.
00:51:55Ellen, are you all right?
00:51:58It's a touching scene, isn't it, Miggs?
00:52:02So you told me you hated your father and wanted to get even with him.
00:52:05Well, I don't believe it.
00:52:07As a matter of fact, I think you miss your old man.
00:52:10So I'm arranging a little reunion between you and your dad.
00:52:14Nice of me, isn't it, Jim?
00:52:16Yeah, you're going to see your old man very soon.
00:52:19You're going to drive a truckload of stolen goods to him.
00:52:23Or at least they're supposed to be stolen.
00:52:25And your old man's going to be tipped off about it.
00:52:27Why, you...
00:52:28Lock him up in a barn, Miggs.
00:52:30All right, let's go.
00:52:54Haven't you done enough? Leave Jim alone.
00:52:56I told you to hold on to her.
00:53:23Captain Murray?
00:53:25Well, this is your old friend, Nick Taggart.
00:53:28I owe you a little favor for everything you've done for me, so listen.
00:53:33All right, go ahead.
00:53:35I hear you got a good chance of being commissioner.
00:53:39Well, your son Jim will cinch it for you.
00:53:42He's driving a truckload of stolen silk...
00:53:45and he's taking the state road from Rockville, heading straight into town.
00:53:50At midnight, when he passes the Rockville Country Club...
00:53:54I've arranged to have him met by the riot squad from headquarters.
00:53:58I'm sure the newspapers will give it a big play.
00:54:02Taggart, I wouldn't believe you on your deathbed.
00:54:06No?
00:54:08Well, maybe you'll believe it when your son's on his deathbed.
00:54:11But it won't be a bed.
00:54:20Come on.
00:54:51You sent for me, Captain?
00:54:53Oh, yes, Tom, yes.
00:54:55I've got a job on my hands, and it's very confidential.
00:54:59You see, my son has been framed into driving some stolen goods...
00:55:03and I've got to intercept him.
00:55:05Now, you meet me out front with my own car.
00:55:07I don't want to be a burden to you.
00:55:09I'm going to get you out of here.
00:55:11I'm going to get you out of here.
00:55:13I'm going to get you out of here.
00:55:15I'm going to get you out of here.
00:55:17Now, you meet me out front with my own car.
00:55:19I don't want this to look like official business.
00:55:21Yes, sir.
00:55:31Everything's okay, boss.
00:55:33Men ready?
00:55:34Yep.
00:55:35Cookie, you stay here with the girl.
00:55:37Come on.
00:55:47Come on.
00:56:03All right, mates, untie his hands.
00:56:09Get in the front seat there, mates.
00:56:11And you get in and drive.
00:56:17All right, boys, get in the back.
00:56:32Boy ought to be along soon now.
00:56:34Maybe tanker's live.
00:56:36I wish I could think so.
00:56:39Let's go, copper.
00:56:41And keep on schedule.
00:56:44Come on, get going.
00:56:53There goes Jim.
00:57:00Oh, do something, Cookie.
00:57:02Warn Captain Murray.
00:57:04It's too late now, Ellen.
00:57:13I'm going to get you out of here.
00:57:44Calling Radio Central.
00:57:46Radio Central.
00:57:48Jim Murray calling.
00:57:50Listen, please.
00:57:52Important. Terribly important.
00:57:54Jim Murray calling Radio Central.
00:57:56Jim Murray calling Radio Central.
00:57:58Three miles west of Long Bridge.
00:58:00Crossing on State Highway.
00:58:02Listen and keep listening, please.
00:58:04Because I can't have you cut back to me.
00:58:06This is life or death.
00:58:09Captain Murray's being lured into a trap
00:58:11to pick me up outside Rockville
00:58:13at approximately 12 o'clock.
00:58:15To meet a truck full of killers led by Nick Taggart.
00:58:17They're using me as a decoy.
00:58:24Listen, I'll repeat again.
00:58:26I'm driving a white truck marked Dollar Van and Storage.
00:58:28Loaded with dangerous killers.
00:58:30Emergency call.
00:58:32Calling all cars.
00:58:34Fast as possible.
00:58:36Overtake truck on State Highway.
00:58:38Headed north from Rockville.
00:58:40Bill with arms.
00:58:42Dangerous men.
00:59:02Cookie, they're all gone now.
00:59:04You don't have to keep me here any longer.
00:59:06Take me to Jim. We've got to help him.
00:59:08All right, I'll take you to the picnic.
00:59:10I hope Nick don't see me first.
00:59:12Oh, Cookie.
00:59:25Five miles to go.
00:59:27This is very great.
00:59:29Just before we hit the home stretch.
00:59:39Getting close.
00:59:41Come on.
01:00:03I guess we're too late, Tom.
01:00:05The boys have picked him up.
01:00:07I hope he's all right.
01:00:17Over here, boys.
01:00:37Come on.
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:29Let's get him off the road, boys.
01:01:31Lift him up.
01:01:38Well, there isn't much I can say to you, Jim,
01:01:40now that I've heard the whole story
01:01:42and know what you've done and what you've risked.
01:01:53Thanks, Dad.
01:01:55You said you'd make that gang up, and you did.
01:01:57Taggart's done for,
01:01:59and when Mayor Frawley reads that morning paper...
01:02:01He won't be there to read the paper.
01:02:03By that time, the police will have grabbed him.
01:02:06Ah, the hero's going to have his picture taken.
01:02:12Gosh, I got my picture taken.
