01:28The
01:46Who is it?
01:46It's me, Jamie.
01:57Well, how about it? What'd you find out?
01:59Plenty.
02:00They spotted you making your getaway.
02:01Before you're hotter than a firefighter.
02:03The cops are covering every train and bus depot in the city.
02:05I gotta get out of here somehow.
02:07Now, don't worry about it. We'll fix it.
02:09How?
02:09Well, we'll drive you out of the city, wait and hop a bus and get away without being recognized.
02:13Yeah. That ought to do it.
02:25This is it, Jack. The bus ought to be along any minute now.
02:28Thanks, boys. I'll drop your line as soon as you get located.
02:30We'll let you know the minute the heat's off.
02:31Good.
03:09Uh, care to look at some of the paper?
03:12No, no thanks. I never read them.
03:14Oh, I can understand that.
03:16My gosh, except for politics and the war, all you see in the papers these days is crime.
03:22Hold-ups, murders, killings.
03:24Is that so?
03:26Yeah, but that's only in the city.
03:27You never hear of anything like that happening in my hometown.
03:30That where you're headed?
03:31Yeah. A town called Fairfield.
03:34Never heard of it.
03:35Well, I don't suppose many people have. It isn't much of a town.
03:38Only has a population of about 500.
03:43Takes a magnifying glass to find it on the map.
03:46Does, eh?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Supposed to be a lot bigger if it wasn't so darn far off the beaten path.
03:52You know, it's so hard to get to, nobody ever goes there.
03:56Sounds like a nice spot for a fellow to take a rest.
03:58Oh, you couldn't find a better place.
04:00All the peace and quiet you could ask for.
04:03Right in the heart of the Indiana Limberlaws.
04:05Yeah?
04:06Maybe just the place I'm looking for.
04:09Got a hotel there?
04:10Oh, sure.
04:11Sure, Danny Doyle, a pal of mine. He runs it with his uncle.
04:14You know, Danny's the real reason I'm going back home.
04:16He got in some kind of a jam, and he wants me to help him out.
04:18But he's all right. You'll like him.
04:21Well, I'm not looking for company.
04:22The idea of a little visit there sounds pretty interesting.
04:26What did you say the name of the town was?
04:28Fairfield.
04:29Fairfield.
04:56I'd like to see that bus pull in on time just once.
04:58Oh, Mr. Danny, this thing is heavy. Can't I just set it down and wait till Mr. Freckles gets here?
05:02You're lucky I don't make you wear it around your neck after the mess you got us into.
05:06Gold, that viner.
05:07Well, the man said it would find gold, didn't he?
05:09Sure, and you believed him.
05:10Well, that crazy gadget couldn't find anything.
05:12Well, the stuff we found looked like gold, didn't it?
05:14You're telling me?
05:15That was fool's gold.
05:16We the fools, huh?
05:17You said it to the teeth.
05:19Oh, look, Mr. Danny, suppose we scared up a couple of fools bigger than us, and then we...
05:22Oh, save your breath, Jeff.
05:24They don't come any bigger than we are.
05:26I don't know.
05:27We ain't so big.
05:37Hiya, Freckles.
05:38Hi, Danny.
05:39Hiya, Dad.
05:40Good to see you.
05:41Boy, am I glad to see you.
05:42Oh, Mr. Danny, can I set this down now?
05:44No.
05:45Wait till you hear what's happened.
05:46We're in a jam that's out of this world.
05:47Knowing you, I didn't think it'd be anything simple.
05:50But save it till later, will you?
05:51I haven't seen my dad in quite a while.
05:52Oh, you can see him anytime.
05:53This is important.
05:54I've got to talk to you right away.
05:56Oh, right, all right.
05:57But you can hold it a couple of minutes anyhow, can't you?
05:59I brought you a customer for the hotel.
06:01Oh, that's great.
06:01Thanks, Freckles.
06:02We can sure use the business.
06:03This is Danny Doyle, the fellow I was telling you about.
06:05He runs the hotel.
06:06And this is Mr., uh...
06:08Uh...
06:08Gosh, I never did find out your name.
06:11Leach.
06:12Jack Leach.
06:13Oh, glad to know you.
06:14I have a...
06:14How about that jam?
06:15Take it easy, will you?
06:16There's plenty of time.
06:18If that's what you think.
06:19All right, all right.
06:20But wait till you take care of the man.
06:21He wants a room.
06:22Oh, sure, sure.
06:23Excuse me.
06:24Uh, take Mr. Leach's bag, Jeff.
06:28Uh, excuse me.
06:28Uh, would you hold this a minute, please, sir?
06:30Yeah.
06:33Thank you, sir.
06:38You see, it all began when Jeff got sold a bill of goods on that Goldie winery.
06:43Oh, you ought to have your head examined.
06:45There's no such thing as a Goldie winery that works, and you know it.
06:47I know it now.
06:49But it'll look good when you get me in it.
06:50Yeah, I hear it.
06:51Haven't got a couple old trunks you'd like to have me lug around here, yeah?
06:54Well, I've got a couple down in the basement that I was in charge here, anyhow.
06:58Then we...
06:59For the love of might, Danny, how do you expect to put a hotel across treating your guests like that?
07:03Attend to Mr. Leach, then tell me about it.
07:05Yeah, sure.
07:06See, Mr. Leach is fixed up, will you, Jeff?
07:08Yes, sir.
07:15I'll go now to the hotel at your service, sir.
07:17You all want something in the room?
07:18Yeah, bed.
07:21What's this?
07:21Oh, that's a gold brick.
07:23A gold brick?
07:24Yes, sir.
07:24Hey, you don't happen to own the Brooklyn Bridge, do you?
07:26Now, that's funny.
07:27A man wanted to sell me that bridge the other day.
07:30Never mind.
07:30Just get me the key.
07:32Yes, sir.
07:37Well, now, what do you know for date young Winslow?
07:43Portrait.
07:44How are you, Constable?
07:47What brings you back to town?
07:49Did you get kicked out of school?
07:50No, no, just that I'd come home for a while.
07:52Oh, you did, eh?
07:54Well, things have been mighty peaceful up to now.
07:56Of course, I ain't saying you're as ornery as you used to be, but I ain't as tolerable as I
08:00used to be neither.
08:01Don't you, Constable?
08:01I'm here strictly on a mission of peace.
08:03Well, you better have.
08:05But when you two young scallywags get your heads together, trouble starts brewing.
08:08So watch your step, both of you.
08:11My dander gets up easy these days.
08:13All set, Mr. Leach.
08:14Who's that?
08:15Oh, stranger town, eh?
08:17Just get in?
08:18That's right.
08:19Come in on the bus, eh?
08:20Picking on Stanisville?
08:21I don't know.
08:22I might.
08:22Yeah, it's a mighty fine little town to settle down in.
08:24I'm sure it is.
08:25Yes, sir.
08:26Say, uh, uh, ain't I seen you someplace before?
08:31I don't think so.
08:33Your face looks mighty familiar.
08:35You ain't the fellow that sold that water pump in the Newt-Whitley area.
08:39Leaks powerful bad.
08:40No, I've never been here before.
08:42Oh, oh.
08:44Well, if you're figuring on staying here and want to pick up some land, I got 20 acres.
08:49That's a right, smart bargain.
08:50Well, I'll take it over.
08:51Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get unpacked.
08:54Oh, sure, sure.
08:54Don't let me stop you.
08:56Oh, say, by the way, we're having a big dance over at Will Tatum's Barn tonight.
09:00Going to have some pretty fancy dones.
09:01If you get a chance, we'll drop over and meet some of the folks.
09:04Thanks, I'll see you.
09:05Good, good.
09:07Mighty fine gent.
09:08Yes, sir.
09:10Say, if you fellas was more like him, you might amount to something someday.
09:15So the minute I figured we'd struck gold, I did what anybody would have done.
09:18I bought a 60-day option on the property.
09:20You bought...
09:22But how could you?
09:23Where'd you get the money?
09:24That's where the headache comes in.
09:26Before he left, Uncle Bert gave me the money for the payment on the hotel.
09:29And instead of giving it to Mr. Potter at the bank...
09:31I don't know, Danny.
09:32I've helped you out of holes before.
09:33But this time...
09:36There's nothing I can do.
09:37I haven't the money to pay off Potter.
09:39Well, I'm not asking for the money.
09:40But look, I got a scheme all worked out.
09:43Uh-oh.
09:44It's a cinch.
09:44I'm going to subdivide the property and start a real estate boom.
09:47What?
09:49Are you completely crazy?
09:51It'll work.
09:52I'm sure of it.
09:53Up here, a thousand miles from nowhere.
09:55It won't be if we bring a spur of the main highway up the valley and through my property.
10:00Think what it'll do for business.
10:01We'll have to put fair fuel on the map.
10:03We'll have a real town for a change.
10:06Sounds great, Danny, but it won't work.
10:07You can never get the road commissioners to agree on it.
10:10Why not?
10:10Your father's one of them.
10:11You could bring him around, couldn't you?
10:13Well, even if I did, what about old man Potter?
10:15They haven't been speaking for years.
10:17Oh, they'd never get together and you'd know it.
10:19Oh, I don't know.
10:20I think maybe you could swing it.
10:21How?
10:22Remember how you and Jane Potter were sweethearts when we were kids?
10:27Wait a minute.
10:29You're not suggesting I marry that gawky, peakedail Potter brat?
10:33No, of course not.
10:34Nothing like that.
10:36But you used to be sweet on each other.
10:38Well, I mean, you know.
10:39You always were pretty good friends.
10:41Maybe you could get her to work on her dad.
10:43Oh, I don't know.
10:44I'll speak to my dad, all right.
10:45But as far as old man Potter's concerned, I have my doubts.
10:48He doesn't like me any better than he does my father.
10:51Yeah.
10:53Is it really as bad as all that, Dad?
10:56I'm afraid so, son.
10:58Well, then why didn't you tell me about it before?
11:00I could have done something.
11:01Oh, you had enough on your mind getting through college.
11:05I thought I could work it out in time, but with the town run down as it is and getting
11:11worse, it just couldn't be done.
11:13Hmm.
11:14So the Winslow family is broke.
11:16I wouldn't say that.
11:17But we still have the farm, and we're not in debt yet.
11:22Well, then don't you see?
11:23You just got to help get that road through here.
11:25It's our only chance to get back what we've lost.
11:27I know that.
11:28It's been a dream of mine for years.
11:31But it's out of the question.
11:34Oh, all because of an argument you and Potter had years ago.
11:38What difference does that make?
11:39A lot of difference to me.
11:41It's a matter of pride.
11:43I'd rather lose everything than to make a step toward Potter.
11:46But maybe he wants the highway as much as you do.
11:49If he does, he'll come to me.
12:07Step right on in, folks.
12:08Playroom for all.
12:10Hello, Shai.
12:11Hello.
12:14Evening, Miss Wiggins.
12:15Hi, this evening.
12:16Hello, Newt.
12:17Oh, say, I hear you've got a new ball-faced castle with your place.
12:20Congratulations.
12:22Yes, sir.
12:25Evening, Constable.
12:26Good evening.
12:27No, you don't, then, Perkins.
12:29I want to talk to you.
12:30What's on your mind, Constable?
12:32You know what's on my mind.
12:33When are you fixing to pay me that $8, Joe,
12:35for pasturing that heifer of yours on my North 40s?
12:37Had her for 10 weeks now, you know.
12:39Shucks, Constable.
12:40That heifer ain't worth more than $10.
12:42No?
12:43Well, then, I reckon I can keep her for what you owe me.
12:45No.
12:46No.
12:47Can't do it.
12:48Ain't good business.
12:49But I'll tell you what.
12:50Why?
12:51You keep her for two more weeks,
12:53and then you can have her.
12:56Even, Constable.
12:57Oh, Constable.
12:58Keep her two more weeks.
13:00Keep who two more weeks, huh?
13:02Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Winslow.
13:04Dad, will you excuse me a minute?
13:05I want to go see Daddy.
13:06Oh, certainly, son.
13:07None of your monkeys shines now.
13:09I'll be watching you.
13:10Oh, sure.
13:13Hello, Daddy.
13:13I've been on pins and needles waiting for you.
13:15What happened?
13:16What did your dad say?
13:17Well, I'll tell you the truth, Danny.
13:18It doesn't look too hot.
13:20Don't, huh?
13:20But don't let it get you down.
13:21Oh, no, no.
13:22Of course not.
13:23Well, I mean it.
13:24I've been doing a lot of thinking.
13:25I believe I have an idea that might do it.
13:27Yeah, no kidding.
13:28Well, what is it?
13:28What are you going to do?
13:29Now, now, don't get excited.
13:30Just leave everything to me.
13:32Good old freckles.
13:33I knew you'd come through.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Hiya, boys.
13:35Well, hello, Mr. Lee.
13:36Hello.
13:37Thought I'd drop around and see what's going on.
13:39Well, looks like the local gentry's out for a big night, huh?
13:42What's the occasion?
13:43It's the Loyal Order of Cornhuskers annual dance.
13:46Oh?
13:46They always celebrate after the autumn harvest.
13:48Yeah, the bigger the crop, the bigger the blowout.
13:50That makes sense.
13:52What's a fellow do about getting some refreshments around here?
13:54Just help yourself.
13:58Step right up, gentlemen, and get yourself a slight live patient.
14:01It ain't much, but if you can drink it, I can serve it.
14:03I'll quit clowning, Jeff, and fill them up.
14:05Yeah, I'll put out a slice of orange in mine.
14:07I haven't had dinner yet.
14:08Yeah, sir.
14:09Coming right up.
14:11Excuse me.
14:12Here you go.
14:13There you are.
14:15Hello, Mr. Potter.
14:16Mrs. Potter.
14:17Oh, how do you do, Danny?
14:18How are you, Jane?
14:19Fine, Danny.
14:19Hello, Danny.
14:21I don't see your uncle about.
14:24Isn't he here?
14:25No, sir.
14:25He went to Fort Wayne on business.
14:27Oh, I see.
14:28Undoubtedly to negotiate with some other bank, like his friend Winslow.
14:33Could I see you for a minute, Jane?
14:34Sure.
14:35I got a surprise for you.
14:37There you go.
14:40Oh, excuse me.
14:44An old friend of yours just blew into town.
14:46Old friend of mine?
14:49Frackle.
14:50Hello, Jane.
14:50Full of all people.
14:52Well, I've got some things to take care of.
14:54See you in a little bit, all right?
14:57I thought you were away at school.
14:59I was, but some urgent business brought me back.
15:02I'm glad it did.
15:03Yeah.
15:04If I'd have known you'd look like this, I'd have been home a lot sooner.
15:06My gosh, Jane, you've gotten downright pretty.
15:09I'm just imagining things like just the same as I've always been.
15:12Don't tell me.
15:14You were positive.
15:18Hyrum.
15:19Isn't that the Winslow boy Jane is talking to?
15:22Why, the young scamp.
15:25Why, I thought, well, I'll put a stop to that.
15:27No, no, no, Hyrum.
15:28It isn't going to do any harm for her to talk with him.
15:31Besides, it's undignified to create a thing.
15:33Well, perhaps you're right.
15:35But I'll give that young lady a talking to tonight.
15:38Oh, Hyrum, I'm ashamed of you.
15:41After all, he's only a boy.
15:43But that makes no difference to me.
15:45He's still a Winslow.
15:47You know, Jane, now that I'm back,
15:48I don't see any reason why we shouldn't see each other once in a while.
15:51Do you?
15:52Well, of course not.
15:53You can see me any time you want to, Freckles.
15:55Oh, that's great.
15:56How about tomorrow night?
15:57I can get Dad's car and...
15:58Hey, wait a minute.
15:59You certainly don't waste any time, do you?
16:01Freckles, is that what you learned in college?
16:03No, but I've got a lot of things in my mind.
16:06Things I want to talk to you about.
16:08Things like what, Freckles?
16:11Well, I got you down for a sea election, Jane.
16:14Are you ready to favor us with it?
16:15I'll be right there.
16:16Fine and dandy.
16:17I'll make the announcement.
16:20Say, you remember how we used to sing together?
16:22Oh, yeah.
16:25Oh, no, you don't.
16:26You're not getting me up there.
16:30Attention, please, folks.
16:32We're now going to be entertained with a song by Miss Jane Potter.
16:37There.
16:37Slight correction.
16:39Looks like we're going to have a duet by Miss Potter and Freckles Winslow.
16:49Where shall we dream tonight
16:53While moonbeams lend their light
16:57Let's find a secret rendezvous
17:01Will it be valley
17:06Perhaps a cabin in May
17:10Some valley
17:13Or else a castle in Spain
17:19Let's fly to Timbuktu
17:23Miami or Peru
17:26Sweetheart, I'll leave that to you
17:31There's little time
17:36My darling
17:38The Sandman is in sight
17:43So tell me where
17:48We dream to
17:54Now
17:55Now
18:04There, it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, was it?
18:06Well, it was bad enough.
18:07Well, it's all over now, so you can relax.
18:10Yeah.
18:11Now, tell me what it was you wanted to talk to me about.
18:13Oh, uh, well, do you think we could go outside?
18:18Uh, well, of course.
18:24Who's the girlfriend I'm singing with?
18:26That's Miss Jane Potter.
18:28Her dad owns the bank.
18:30Banker's daughter, huh?
18:31Yes, sir.
18:32Well, looks like Freckles is doing all right for himself.
18:34It don't mean nothing.
18:35That Mr. Potter is the tightest man I ever seen.
18:38I bet he got his first nickel he ever made,
18:40and he wouldn't turn it loose for nobody.
18:43Is that so?
18:44Yes, sir.
18:46All right, I'm all set.
18:48Now tell me.
18:49Well, love.
18:50I've never done anything like this before.
18:53I don't know just how to begin.
18:54Well, just say it as it comes to you.
18:56It's what I always do.
18:57Oh, it isn't as easy as all that.
19:00You see, this is kind of important.
19:03I know it's difficult, our families being the way they are,
19:06but you can talk to me.
19:08I'll understand.
19:09You will?
19:10Of course.
19:11Oh, well, it's about Danny.
19:13Danny?
19:15What's Danny got to do with it?
19:16Well, he's in quite a lot of trouble.
19:18Well, on earth if Danny's trouble's got to do with us.
19:21Well, you see, your dad and my dad are road commissioners.
19:24Now, I thought if you put in a few good words...
19:27Is that all you had to tell me?
19:30Yeah, I said it was important.
19:32What else is there to talk about?
19:34What else?
19:36I thought...
19:37All the time I thought you...
19:39Freckles, Winslow, you're the most selfish, contemptible...
19:43You're horrible, and I hope I never see you again.
19:46Well, what the...
19:51What's wrong with her?
19:52Well, there isn't anything wrong with her.
19:53I'm the one who's all haywire.
19:55What'd you do?
19:56What'd you say to her?
19:57Apparently the wrong thing.
19:58Anyhow, you can forget that brilliant idea I had.
20:00It didn't work.
20:04What's the matter, boys?
20:05Something wrong?
20:06You'll never know.
20:07I wouldn't be too sure about that.
20:08Jeff just told me all about the mortgage
20:10and the highway you want to put through here.
20:13You know, I might be able to help you out on that little matter.
20:15Well, what do you mean, help us out?
20:16Well, I've been investigating the situation.
20:19This town's got a lot of possibilities,
20:20if, as you say, you couldn't bring the highway through.
20:22Yeah, it is.
20:24Now, suppose I tell you I think I can arrange it.
20:26What?
20:26Do you mean that?
20:27Not making any promises.
20:28I've got a friend in Chicago, financier, as you might say.
20:31He's looking for a spot like this, making an investment.
20:34He is? No fooling?
20:35I'll get in touch with him right away.
20:37Why?
20:49Here we are, Mr. Quigley.
20:51So, this is Fairfield.
20:59Well, hello, Mr. Quigley.
21:01Clancy, how do you do, Leach?
21:02I got your wire this morning.
21:03Naturally.
21:04Oh, by the way, these are the two boys I wrote you about.
21:06Mr. Winslow and Mr. Doyle.
21:08I'm glad to know you, Mr. Quigley.
21:09How do you do?
21:17Mr. Leach has told me about the excellent business prospect in your community.
21:20Naturally, I'm open to any investment that looks profitable.
21:22I'm glad you feel that way, Mr. Quigley.
21:24Yeah, me too.
21:25Naturally.
21:26Well, shall we get down to business?
21:28Anytime you say.
21:29Oh, sure, Mr. Quigley's chauffeur to his room, will you, Jeff?
21:31Yes.
21:34This way.
21:36You see, Mr. Quigley, it's like this.
21:38The only thing that keeps Fairfield from being a prosperous and progressive community
21:41is the fact that it's so far off the main highway.
21:45My name is Jeff.
21:46What's your appellation, if any?
21:48My title is Roxbury Barbasone Brown.
21:51The third.
21:52The third what?
21:53Well, that means I'm the third man by that name and my family.
21:56What's the matter?
21:57Ain't they got no imagination?
22:03All right, come on.
22:06This is it.
22:07Boom.
22:08I don't know.
22:10You know where I come from?
22:11We put it fussy.
22:12Is this the best you got?
22:14You either touched on the head or can't hear good.
22:16I told you this was it.
22:19It ain't nothing like what I've been used to.
22:22I presume there's a ginning bath.
22:24Yeah.
22:25Just ginning 20 feet down the hall.
22:28Say, what is this here contraption?
22:30Well, this here?
22:31Well, this is what us men of science call a gold machine.
22:34You don't say so.
22:36Mm-hmm.
22:36Well, what does it do, make gold?
22:37No, but it finds it awful quick.
22:39Now, let me show you something.
22:40Yeah.
22:40You see, you turn that on now.
22:42Mm-hmm.
22:42Then you turn that like that, see?
22:44Mm-hmm.
22:45Ain't that pretty?
22:47Sure is.
22:48But where is the gold?
22:49Well, it must be around here somewhere.
22:51Of course, the machine says so.
22:55Look here.
22:56What did I tell you?
22:57What did I tell you?
22:58Gold, look.
22:59Well, I do declare.
23:01Let me see that, boy.
23:02Let me see that.
23:02There it is.
23:06Oh, man, that ain't no gold.
23:08That's just a plain old ordinary common brass collar button.
23:11See, it just goes to prove to you what I say.
23:13Even if it looks like gold.
23:14My, my, my.
23:16That sure is wonderful.
23:17Sure is.
23:18It just happened to be for sale, too.
23:20Now, wait a minute, son.
23:21Wait a minute.
23:22You ain't trying to high-pressure me, is you?
23:24Oh, man, do I look like a shady character?
23:27I'm stating the facts.
23:28Now, that's more like it.
23:29Because I ain't buying nothing from nobody.
23:31Except, and first, I gets a demonstration.
23:34What kind of demonstration?
23:35Well, a demonstration of is it good or is it ain't.
23:38And if it ain't?
23:39Then somebody gonna get a blood test with my razor.
23:45From what you've told me, unquestionably, the man for me to see first off is this banker.
23:49What's his name?
23:50Potter?
23:51We can raise that all right.
23:52Well, that's up.
23:53Well, sure.
23:54Freckles will take you over any time you're ready.
23:56Wait a minute, Daddy.
23:57You know how I stand in with the Potters.
23:59Do you think I stand in any better?
24:00Well, now, let's not argue about who's going to take who.
24:03The question is, do I see the man or don't I?
24:06All right, I'll take you.
24:07That's better.
24:08How soon?
24:09Well, right away if you like.
24:10That suits me.
24:10Let's go.
24:31Hello, Jane.
24:32Well, look, all the nerds.
24:34Now, wait a minute, Jane.
24:35Freckles, Winslow, we have nothing whatever to say to each other.
24:38I beg your pardon.
24:42Is this the charming young lady you were telling me about?
24:45Yeah, sure.
24:46This is Miss Potter, Mr. Quigley.
24:48How do you do, Mr. Quigley?
24:49I'm delighted, I assure you.
24:52Mr. Quigley came to see your father, Jane, on business.
24:55Oh.
24:56Well, won't you come in?
25:08Good afternoon, Mr. Potter.
25:09You.
25:10What are you doing in my house?
25:12Now, you get out of here.
25:13Now, wait a minute, Mr. Potter.
25:14I'll not wait a minute.
25:15You get out of here.
25:16But, Daddy.
25:16You keep out of this.
25:17Mr. Potter, I only keep...
25:18Young man, as I recall, I told you to get out of here.
25:21May I say a word, Mr. Potter?
25:22No.
25:25Who is this man?
25:26Well, he's Mr. Quigley, Daddy.
25:28Well, he can't be much good associating with the Winslow.
25:31Get out of here, both of you.
25:32Oh, Mr. Quigley came here to talk business.
25:34Funny business, I suppose.
25:36Quite the contrary, Mr. Potter.
25:38I came to talk to you about an investment I intend to make.
25:41Investment?
25:42Here?
25:43In therapy?
25:48That is a little different, isn't it?
25:50I'm sorry I clawed the handle that, but...
25:52Oh, won't you...
25:54Won't you sit down?
25:55Thank you, I am.
25:55I'd like to.
25:57And, uh, you too, I suppose.
26:00And now, uh...
26:02And now, Mr. Quigley?
26:04Yes.
26:05What is his, uh, investment that you were contemplating?
26:09It's about real estate, mister.
26:10I believe I was addressing Mr. Quigley.
26:15Uh, these matters are much better discussed and a full stomach, Mr. Quigley.
26:19Suppose you have dinner with us and, uh, we'll talk business after.
26:22Well, thank you, Mr. Potter, but I couldn't think of imposing on your hospitality like that.
26:26Oh, nonsense, nonsense.
26:28There's always a place at my table for friends.
26:34Well, since you insist.
26:36Oh, good, good.
26:37Now that's settled.
26:38Oh, uh, uh, Minerva?
26:40Minerva, my dear.
26:41Come here.
26:42Yes, dear.
26:49My goodness, Hiram, why didn't you tell me we had company?
26:52Hello, Mrs. Potter.
26:53Oh, how do you do, Frank?
26:54Oh, my dear, this is Mr. Quigley, a friend of ours.
26:57My wife, Mrs. Potter.
26:58And how do you do?
27:00I-I hope you'll excuse this awful old apron.
27:04Not at all, Mrs. Potter.
27:05To my mind, woman comes into a full radiance when attired in the mantle of the homemaker.
27:11Oh, isn't that sweet!
27:13Not bad, not bad at all.
27:15Mr. Quigley's staying for dinner.
27:17Oh, how nice!
27:18Yes, and be sure to place one more plate on the table.
27:22Oh!
27:24Now that that's settled, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Quigley, I have some things to attempt to.
27:29I think my young daughter can keep you entertained until I get back, eh?
27:34I'll do my best.
27:36Just being with you will be quite enough, Mrs. Potter.
27:38Was there something else you wanted, young man?
27:40Well, uh, Mr. Quigley and I, we...
27:42Oh, that's quite all right, Brickles.
27:43I think I have the situation pretty well in hand.
27:46Oh.
27:47Well, uh, I guess there isn't much point in my hanging around.
27:53No, I guess not.
27:54Well, I'll be running along.
27:56Goodbye.
27:57Bye.
27:58See you later, Mr. Quigley.
27:59Yes, of course.
28:00Brickles is rather a nice young man, isn't he?
28:02Oh, yes, but he's such a boy.
28:09Hey.
28:09Will it.
28:20Hey, you!
28:23Hey, Rocksley, come in.
28:32Now, what do you want, boy?
28:35Can't you see I'm busy?
28:36Shh, quiet, man.
28:37I want to talk to you.
28:38What's the matter with you?
28:39Is you crazy?
28:40Shh, shh.
28:40So, look.
28:41I got that gold machine back here in the back.
28:44Do you think I want somebody to steal it before I sell it to you?
28:47Now, now, now, take it easy and recollect yourself, fish eyes.
28:49I done told you I ain't buying nothing from nobody, except in first it gives me a demonstration.
28:55Demonstration?
28:55Yeah.
28:56I got it all rigged up for one just for you.
28:58That so?
28:58Mm-hmm.
28:59For the final gold?
29:00Nothing else for that.
29:00Well, then, what is we waiting on?
29:02Come on, son, let's go get that gold.
29:04Shh, wait a minute.
29:04This way.
29:07Well, there it is.
29:08That's it, all right.
29:09Now what?
29:10Now we find the gold.
29:11With that machine, huh?
29:12Mm-hmm.
29:13Say, how do you do that?
29:14Well, now, you press this little button.
29:16Yeah.
29:16Now, when you press it, that starts to detect it to work.
29:18Yeah.
29:18And when it starts to work, you see them two little balls there?
29:21Yeah.
29:21Now, this starts to going round and round.
29:24And if it goes to your left, it ain't no good.
29:26We ain't gonna find nothing.
29:27But if it happens to turn to your right, look out, gold mine, here we come.
29:32Well, now, boy, ain't got something.
29:33Start pressing that button, son.
29:35My fingers is just eating to funnel that mazuma.
29:37Yeah?
29:38All right, now, I press this button right there.
29:40Now, you hold right there.
29:41See, now, turn it just like that.
29:42See?
29:42Turn it loose.
29:43See that?
29:44Yeah.
29:45Come on.
29:46Gangway with a great betrayal.
29:47Ooh-ooh-ooh.
29:50Ooh-ooh-ooh.
29:52Now, wait a minute.
29:53Which way is it turning?
29:54It's turning to the right.
29:54To the right?
29:55Yeah.
29:55That means we're done struck gold.
29:57Yeah.
29:57Give me a shovel, boy, quick.
29:58I'm gonna start my digging right now.
30:00Now, ain't that a strange coincidence?
30:02I have a shovel right there.
30:04Move.
30:04Move.
30:05Let me dig here.
30:05Right there?
30:06Yeah, that's there.
30:07You saw now, huh?
30:08Yeah, it's got to be there.
30:09Yeah.
30:10There it is.
30:11That what is?
30:12The gold, just like I told you.
30:14Ain't it pretty?
30:15Man, that ain't no gold.
30:17That's just a plain old common brick.
30:19Ain't you dumb, man?
30:20You never heard of a gold brick?
30:22Is that what that is?
30:22Sure.
30:23Let me see it.
30:26Sure enough.
30:26That's gold, all right.
30:28Fourteen caries, too.
30:29Now, wait a minute.
30:30How do you know it's fourteen caries?
30:32Can't you read?
30:32It's wrote right there.
30:34Well, I do declare.
30:36How much you say you want for that machine?
30:38Uh, would $50 be too much?
30:41Boy, you was in like a duck, yeah.
30:44Hey.
30:45There you are.
30:46Does all that belong to you?
30:48Sure do.
30:48And there's plenty more where that come from.
30:50You don't say.
30:53You wouldn't want to run that up a little bit, would you?
30:55Brother, you've got yourself a playmate.
30:58Let him roll.
30:59I'm with you.
31:00I shoot that.
31:01Shoot.
31:03Anchor to him.
31:05It's a crime to pass up a choice set up like this leech.
31:08These farmers are eating out of my hands.
31:10So is Potter's daughter, I notice.
31:12It's only part of the game.
31:13The whole family thinks I'm a big shot.
31:15Why, Potter's even calling a mass meeting
31:17to talk these bumpkins into floating a bond issue
31:19for that new highway.
31:20In a couple of months, we'll have every cent in the county.
31:24Look, quickly.
31:26The only reason I rang you in on this deal
31:27is because I need money and I need it quick.
31:29I've got to get moving and you know it.
31:32Now, how long is it going to take you
31:33to line up that bank and get to work?
31:39Oh, well.
31:40I reckon I'll be putting myself to bed.
31:42Hey, wait a minute, son.
31:44Where do you think you going?
31:45Well, I'm getting myself some shit-eyed.
31:48What do you think?
31:48Not in that bed, you ain't.
31:50I beg pardon?
31:51If any shit I be taking around here,
31:53you'll take it in that bed
31:54and not that because that is mine.
31:56What?
31:57Me sleeping that dinky little two-by-four?
31:59Unless you want to sleep on the floor.
32:01Well, man, that thing ain't big enough
32:03to hold a little old pygmy,
32:04much less an overblown adult like I is.
32:07Well, brother, you better start
32:08to deflate in yourself because that's it.
32:11Go ahead, that's it.
32:15Man, this sure is humiliating.
32:17You know where I comes from,
32:19why the guests always get the best bed.
32:21Ain't no guests around here.
32:22I know who's going to get the best bed,
32:24and that's me.
32:25Now, go ahead and crawl in.
32:30Sleep tight.
32:31Yeah, don't you worry about that.
32:34In this here little pack of boxes,
32:35there ain't no other way to sleep but tight.
32:38Uh, Roxy, hey, you don't snow, do you?
32:43Uh, not that I knows of,
32:44but, uh, I is inflicted with nightmares.
32:49Nightmares?
32:49What's them?
32:50Them encrobusters.
32:52You know, bad dreams that makes you
32:54want to do things in your sleep.
32:56Like what?
32:57Well, in my case, I used to be a barber,
32:59and I feel like I want to shave somebody.
33:02With a razor?
33:03Well, now, that all depends.
33:06Sometimes I use as a hatchet.
33:08Uh, but that, uh, result is awfully sloppy.
33:11Ain't that dangerous?
33:12Well, it is to the guy who was getting shaved.
33:15Particularly if he wake me up.
33:17And if he wake you up, then what?
33:18Then I'll start slashing.
33:20Good.
33:21Gracious to me.
33:34What's that?
33:35What's that?
33:37What's that, huh?
33:40Uh, is anything wrong?
33:42Is you kidding?
33:44I forgot to tell you that was a collapsical bed.
33:47Yeah.
33:48Uh, thanks for forewarning.
33:50Now, ain't that a shame?
33:51Look like you got to sleep on the floor after all.
33:54Yeah, that's what you think, son.
33:56But I'm sleeping over there.
33:58No, you ain't.
33:59Oh, yes, I is.
34:00Now, wait a minute now, Moose Jaw.
34:02Fun is fun.
34:03But that bed is definitely a one-man's proposition.
34:07Well, if it is, Moon Eyes, you is looking right at him.
34:10Because that's right where I'm sleeping.
34:12Now, I repeat myself again.
34:13No, you ain't.
34:14I sleep in that bed, and I does it solo.
34:17I strictly the lone wolf.
34:19Well, from now on, the lone wolf is going to sleep in pairs.
34:22On account of tonight, that bed is double or nothing.
34:26Who said?
34:27I said, emphatically.
34:33Hey, what are you fixing to do?
34:35We're going to shoot these dice to sleep on the bed or on the floor.
34:39Oh, no, you ain't.
34:40You rookie-duked me once today.
34:42You took my money, but you ain't going to take my bed.
34:45Well, how are we going to solve this problem?
34:47Now, it ain't but one way that I know of.
34:49How's that?
34:50First come, first come.
34:52Sir, that's what I said.
34:53Look out, man.
34:54Look out, rockin' out.
35:20Look out, rockin' out.
35:33Next.
35:34Next?
35:35What do you mean next?
35:36This ain't no barbershop.
35:38Now, wait a minute, now, Roxbury.
35:39What are you trying to do?
35:40Give me a shave?
35:41I ain't say nothing about shaving nobody.
35:43I'm fixing to carve me a turkey.
35:45Carve you a turkey?
35:46This ain't Thanksgiving.
35:48To me, it is.
35:49Yeah, but wait, I ain't no turkey.
35:51Now, wait a minute, son.
35:52You mean to tell me I don't know a turkey when I see one?
35:54Now, go ahead now, Roxbury.
35:56Wait a minute, now.
35:56Watch what you're doing with that razor.
35:58This is me.
35:59This is Jeff.
36:00I ain't no turkey.
36:00This is Jeff.
36:01Don't know no turkeys named Jeff.
36:03You don't?
36:04Well, now, hold that razor.
36:04Shut up.
36:05Shut up, turkey.
36:06Don't you know it ain't polite for a poultry to talk when they're about to get carved?
36:10Now, wait a minute, Roxbury.
36:11Watch what you're doing with that razor.
36:14First off, I think I'll cut me some dark meat.
36:18Dark meat?
36:19Now, wait a minute, now.
36:19You've taken me into too much territory.
36:22Hey, what's this?
36:23Well, well, the part that goes over the fence, lad.
36:27I think I'll take me a portion of that.
36:29Now, wait a minute, Roxbury.
36:30Watch what?
36:30Wait a minute, I'll run here.
36:31Come on.
36:33What brings some meat?
36:35What is the matter?
36:37So, what's all the racket?
36:39Ain't you got no respect for a man who's trying to sleep?
36:43You know what you done done.
36:45You done woke me up just as I was fixing to get the best turkey dinner I've had in months.
36:50Is you telling me?
36:58Lots of bombs.
36:59You'll have to fight till it hurts.
37:01But I know that you'll all agree that it's worth it
37:03to see Fairfield become the thriving little metropolis that it deserves to be.
37:09Now, in a few minutes,
37:10our attendants will pass among you with subscription blanks.
37:14I want you all to sign up for whatever you can afford.
37:17And I hope you can all afford the limit.
37:27Hello, Freckles.
37:28Mr. Winslow.
37:29Evening.
37:29Hello.
37:30I suppose we can count on your help in this campaign, Mr. Winslow.
37:32I never sponsored anything Potter was behind yet, and I don't intend to start now.
37:37Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
37:39However, if the folks around here want it bad enough, I'm willing to sign the highway permit.
37:45Nothing more.
37:46Well, I'd say that's fair enough, Mr. Winslow.
37:48Freckles?
37:48Well, I can't make up my mind whether I like that fellow or not.
37:53Well, I can't.
37:53He's too smooth to suit me.
37:56Howdy, Mr. Winslow.
37:57Say, Freckles, have you seen the subscription blanks?
38:00Folks want to sign the bonds.
38:01I can't find them nowhere.
38:02Ask Mr. Leach.
38:03He's handling all the subscriptions.
38:05Well, I've been looking for him, but he ain't no worries around.
38:07Must have gone out.
38:08Well, he's got him up in his room.
38:11Okay, I'll go get him for him.
38:12Well, make a snap.
38:13You folks is waiting.
38:16Jeff, you got a passkey to the rooms upstairs?
38:18Sure have.
38:19Well, let me into Mr. Leach's room, will you?
38:21Yes, sir.
38:21I want to get the subscription blanks.
38:29Folks, I'm sorry, but we seem to have misplaced the subscription blanks.
38:33So while we're waiting, we'll have a little music.
38:38Yes, sir.
38:39I'll have it open for you in a jiffy.
38:48What's the matter?
38:49Mr. Freckler, is that pale?
38:51What are you talking about?
38:52Is he in there?
38:53He's in there, but he don't look so healthy.
38:55Oh, come on.
38:56Come on.
39:01He's dead.
39:02Dead.
39:02That's all I wanted to know.
39:03Let me out of here.
39:04Come on now, Mr. Freckler.
39:05Let me out of here.
39:05Jeff, don't tell anybody about this, understand?
39:07Tell anybody.
39:08I don't want to even think of it.
39:10Oh, this is awful.
39:11Jeff, we've got to do something quick.
39:12Yeah, room.
39:13Look, you stand guard while I go get Constable Weaver.
39:16Who, me?
39:16Stay here with that fugitive from tomorrow?
39:19No, sir.
39:19Not me.
39:20Well, you got it.
39:20It will only be a minute.
39:21That's still too long.
39:22Nobody's going to hurt you.
39:23Did anybody tell him that?
39:25Well, Mr. Freckler, what are you doing with that key?
39:27Well, I locked the door.
39:28Lock the door?
39:28And leave me in here with that cop?
39:30Certainly.
39:30Suppose the murderer comes back.
39:32Oh, well, if you do, that's all.
39:33What?
39:33Wait a minute.
39:34Hey, hey, Mr. Freckles.
39:35Come back.
39:35Let me out of here now.
39:36Let me out of here now, Mr. Freckles.
39:38Don't do that to me.
39:39Come on, Mr. Freckles.
39:40Let me out of here.
39:41Don't do that.
39:41I can't stand it.
39:42I'm a legislator coach.
39:44Now, come on, Mr. Freckles.
39:45Come on.
39:49Bear the line.
39:52He's always complaining about something.
39:53No matter what I do, let me grasp him.
39:56What's the matter?
39:56Couldn't you find him?
39:59What?
40:01Where is he?
40:01Upstairs.
40:04Things like this could ruin a man's whole evening.
40:06That's what we get for allowing strangers in town.
40:09Mr. Freckles.
40:10Mr. Freckles, why don't you come back here?
40:12Please come back, Mr. Freckles.
40:14Ain't no way out of this tomb.
40:17I don't believe in spooks.
40:19I don't believe in spooks.
40:23Mr. Freckles.
40:31The murderer coming back to do his carving.
40:36No, you don't.
40:42Open her up.
40:44Stand right where you are.
40:47Where is everybody?
40:49Move!
40:50Put him up.
40:51Who you talking?
40:52You heard me.
40:53Put him up.
40:54I ain't done nothing, Mr. I ain't no murderer.
40:55They turn into the senior crime, huh?
40:56He didn't have anything to do with the constable.
40:58He was with me when I found him.
41:00Oh.
41:01Well, what is about it?
41:02Woo!
41:04Don't try anything clever.
41:06You're dealing with the law now.
41:14Caller in a well digger's ear.
41:17Knife in the back.
41:19Just what I thought.
41:21Suicide.
41:28A man identified as Jack Muggsy-Leach,
41:30well-known local gangster,
41:32was found murdered last night
41:33in a hotel room in Fairfield, Indiana,
41:35where he is believed to have been
41:37hiding from the police.
41:38As yet, no clues have been discovered
41:40which might lead to the identity
41:41of the murderer.
41:43He couldn't have been hit out very well
41:45if they found him that easy.
41:46Maybe one of the boys followed him.
41:48Yeah, I wonder who did it.
41:49Search me.
41:51Well, maybe we'd better find out.
41:53You know, that's what I was thinking.
41:55Wouldn't you say the name of that town was
41:57Fairfield, Indiana?
42:03After all, constable,
42:04don't you think you're carrying things
42:05just a little too far?
42:06Not by a jug full, I ain't.
42:07I don't know how they figure things
42:08where you come from, young fella,
42:10but murder is a pretty serious offense
42:12in these parts.
42:13I thought you said it was suicide.
42:15Well, man's got a right
42:17to change his mind, ain't he?
42:19Murder, that's what it was.
42:20And I'm staying right here
42:22until I calculate whodunit.
42:25Heavens.
42:25You don't think I did it?
42:27I ain't saying no
42:28and I ain't saying yes, Minervi.
42:30But to my mind,
42:31everybody's guilty
42:32until they've proved something else.
42:34I read that in a book.
42:36This is preposterous.
42:37Do I look like
42:38I'd stab a man in the back?
42:40Or tell what you'd do, Hiram,
42:41if you figured the fella
42:42had something you wanted.
42:43You'll regret that remark
42:45next election, Caleb Weaver.
42:47I'm sorry, Hiram,
42:48but a man carving a career
42:49for himself like me
42:50has got to be ruthless now and again.
42:52Gentlemen, bickering like this
42:53isn't going to settle things
42:54for anybody.
42:55See, I think you got something
42:57there, young fella.
43:00Jeff?
43:01You mean me?
43:04That was a butcher knife
43:05he was stuck with.
43:07Reckon it could have come
43:07from your kitchen.
43:08Don't look at me.
43:09I ain't done nothing.
43:10But you do know how to use
43:11a butcher knife, don't you?
43:12No, sir.
43:13I'm strictly a razor man.
43:16Look, constable.
43:16I told you he had nothing
43:18to do with it.
43:18He was with me
43:19when I found the body.
43:20Ah, that don't mean nothing.
43:22And come to think of it,
43:25how do I know
43:26you didn't kill him?
43:27Why would I kill
43:28a total stranger?
43:30Aha!
43:31Trapped you, didn't I?
43:32What do you mean,
43:33trapped me?
43:33You said he was a stranger
43:35and I know you bring him
43:36into town
43:37and pass him off
43:37to the friend of yours.
43:39Explain that.
43:40Oh, I met him on the bus.
43:41So you said.
43:42My son wouldn't do
43:43a thing like that
43:44and you know it, Caleb.
43:46Oh, he wouldn't, eh?
43:48That young whippersnapper
43:49would do anything.
43:50He's a wild one, he is.
43:51He's never done
43:52a wild thing in his life.
43:54Oh, no?
43:56What about that Halloween
43:57when him and Danny Doyle
43:59put my best milker,
44:01Isabelle,
44:01up on top of Dave Milton's barn?
44:04She had a pick for a week.
44:06Childish pranks.
44:07Not to my way
44:08of thinking.
44:10They're just
44:11two hundred kids,
44:12that's all.
44:13Might have a good mind
44:14to arrest him
44:15on general principles.
44:16You're crazy.
44:17Who said that?
44:18Look, constable,
44:19while you're so keen
44:20about making an arrest,
44:22why don't you take a look
44:22at the one man here
44:23who might have had
44:24a motive for the murder?
44:25Motive?
44:26Yes, motive.
44:27We know that Leach
44:28was a gangster.
44:29How do we know
44:29that the man he sent for
44:30isn't a gangster too?
44:34Yes, I mean you, Quigley.
44:36Freckles Winslow,
44:36how can you say
44:37a thing like that
44:38about Mr. Quigley?
44:39Why, you hardly know him.
44:40That's exactly the point.
44:41Who is he?
44:42Where did he come from?
44:43Obviously, our young friend
44:44is allowing his personal feelings
44:46to influence
44:46his better judgment.
44:47My personal feelings
44:48having anything to do
44:49with it?
44:49I can vouch for Mr. Quigley,
44:51constable.
44:51I've investigated his character
44:53and he's entirely
44:54above reproach.
44:56Uh-huh, trying to shift
44:57the blame on somebody else,
44:59huh?
45:09Uh, pardon me,
45:10but, uh, hotel's closed.
45:12You'll have to wait
45:13until the investigation's over.
45:14You in charge here?
45:15Well, I'm on the constable,
45:17if that's what you mean.
45:17Who might you be?
45:18We're from the FBI.
45:20Oh, gee, fella, huh?
45:21We're down here
45:21to find out
45:22who killed Jack Leach.
45:23Well, if you come here
45:24to help me on this
45:25investigation,
45:25I don't need any.
45:26I'll have this...
45:27You just keep quiet
45:28and sit down, Pop.
45:29We're taking over now.
45:30Oh, you...
45:30You heard him.
45:32Sit down.
45:38I'm, uh,
45:38Hiram Potter,
45:39officer,
45:41president of
45:41Fairfield State Bank.
45:43If there's anything
45:44I can do...
45:44If we need you,
45:45we'll let you know.
45:46Yes, yes, of course.
45:49Hello, Nate.
45:52Hello, boys.
45:53A little far from home,
45:54ain't you?
45:56I'm down here
45:57in a business deal.
45:58Business deal, huh?
45:59With Leach?
46:02No, I...
46:03I can vouch.
46:04I told you
46:04if I want anything
46:05out of you,
46:05I'll ask for it.
46:06Hiral,
46:07I always told you
46:07you talk too much.
46:09Well, I can tell you
46:09how he happens to be here.
46:11Leach sent for him.
46:12Oh, he did.
46:14You know, Quigley,
46:15I think we ought
46:16to have a little talk.
46:17Private.
46:19There's nothing I have to say
46:20that I can't say right here.
46:21We'll be the judge of that.
46:22Come on, Nate.
46:24Where are we going?
46:26Not far.
46:26Just out on the porch.
46:29You keep this bunch covered.
46:30See that no one
46:31leaves the room.
46:32You don't have to tell me
46:33what to do.
46:33I've been constable
46:34of this township
46:35for 20 years.
46:37Now, anybody
46:38tries anything funny
46:39like making a getaway,
46:41is going to hear from me.
46:48Now, look, boys,
46:49you're off on the wrong foot.
46:50I didn't kill Leach.
46:52We were friends.
46:52If you didn't kill him,
46:53who did?
46:54I don't know.
46:55We were here together
46:56on a deal to crack
46:57the local bank.
46:59But I didn't kill him.
47:00You've got to believe that.
47:01We don't,
47:02but keep talking.
47:03You don't think that I'd
47:05knock him off before
47:06we pulled the job,
47:06do you?
47:08It's too much
47:08for one man.
47:12Wait a minute.
47:14We can still do it.
47:16That bank is just
47:17crammed with you.
47:18All we've got to do
47:18is take it.
47:20You understand?
47:21It might be.
47:22Okay.
47:24But we're still not
47:25forgetting what it
47:25came for.
47:27Now, here's the setup.
47:29Don't you think
47:30you'd better look outside
47:31and see what's going on?
47:32Oh, no, you don't.
47:34You don't trick me
47:35to get me out of the way.
47:36You heard what
47:37that officer said.
47:38He wants to talk
47:39in private.
47:40Officers?
47:41How do you know
47:41they're officers?
47:42Wouldn't surprise me
47:43if the whole bunch
47:44of them were crooks.
47:45Preposterous.
47:46You noticed they knew
47:46them right away,
47:47didn't you?
47:47There isn't something
47:48fishy going on.
47:49Why do they want
47:49to talk to them
47:50alone like that?
47:51Freckles Winslow,
47:51you make me sick.
47:53Just because you
47:53don't like Mr. Quigley,
47:54you think he's a crook
47:55and a murderer.
47:56All I said was...
47:57I don't care what you said.
47:58I think Mr. Quigley's
48:00a nice man.
48:01Thank you, Miss Potter.
48:04Say, you know what
48:05this young upstart
48:06was saying?
48:06Says he don't believe
48:07your police officers
48:08that you're just
48:08a bunch of crooks.
48:09Ain't that a hot one?
48:11Very funny, kid.
48:12You got any more
48:13like that?
48:13All right, I said it.
48:15So what?
48:15Well, don't worry about it.
48:16We think it's a good joke.
48:17Don't we, Nate?
48:18Yeah, sure.
48:19Well, it appears to me
48:20like you, Jay Scott,
48:21things pretty well
48:21straightened out, huh?
48:22That's right.
48:23Mr. Quigley's opened
48:24our eyes in lots of ways.
48:25Yes, as a matter of fact,
48:26he's volunteered
48:27to stay right here with us
48:28until we finish the job.
48:30Any?
48:30Yes, of course.
48:31Well, young man,
48:32this should dispel
48:32any doubts you have
48:33about Mr. Quigley.
48:34I presume this interview
48:36is at an end?
48:37Yes, you can go.
48:38But don't anybody
48:39try to leave town.
48:40We might want
48:40to talk to you again.
48:41Hey, ain't you
48:41going to arrest nobody?
48:42Where would you put
48:43them if we did?
48:44Well, uh...
48:44But you might keep
48:45your eye on these two
48:46just in case they get
48:47any more funny ideas.
48:50All right, yes, sure.
48:51Mr. Quigley,
48:52are you going to have
48:53dinner with us this evening?
48:54Thank you, Mrs. Potter.
48:55I'd love to, but...
48:56I'm afraid perhaps
48:57I'd better stay
48:58with these gentlemen.
48:58You understand.
49:00Oh, of course.
49:01Well, some other time.
49:02Yes, sir.
49:02Come, Jane.
49:03Goodbye, Mr. Quigley.
49:06Good day.
49:07Tell me, son.
49:07I'll be home
49:08in a little while.
49:08Yeah, I want to talk
49:09to Danny.
49:10Come on, Jeff.
49:11Let's get back to work.
49:12Yes, sir.
49:17Don't worry.
49:18We're not going
49:18to run away.
49:19I'll take care
49:20of your dog.
49:20You heard my orders.
49:24Look, just a moment,
49:26Walleyes.
49:26I cramish words
49:27with you.
49:28Oh, go away,
49:28Roxbury.
49:29Don't you see
49:29I'm all tied up?
49:30Boy, you ain't
49:31near tied up
49:32as you're going
49:32to be
49:32when I get through
49:33with you.
49:33What's the trouble
49:34with you?
49:34Come on,
49:35get in here.
49:35Come on.
49:35Wait a minute,
49:36man.
49:36What is the matter?
49:37Get in here.
49:37Get in here.
49:37What is the matter
49:38with you?
49:39Oh, what is the matter
49:41with you?
49:45What's the matter?
49:45What's the matter?
49:46You see this?
49:47Well, this ain't no
49:48gold brick.
49:49It's just a plain
49:50ordinary old red brick
49:51with gold plating on it.
49:52That's all.
49:52Well, I do declare.
49:54How you know that?
49:55Because I've been
49:55polishing some
49:56of the plating off.
49:57That's how.
49:58Now, ain't that
49:59something.
50:00Well, what are you
50:00telling me about it?
50:01You found a brick,
50:02not me.
50:03Oh, hold that.
50:03Hold that.
50:04The gold machine
50:05found a brick.
50:06That's right.
50:07It sure did.
50:08Therefore,
50:09that ain't no gold
50:10machine.
50:10It's a brick machine.
50:11And ain't nobody
50:12never got rich
50:13finding no bricks.
50:19$2.51,
50:21$2.52,
50:23and a nickel
50:24for my milk bottle
50:25will make $2.57.
50:26Phew.
50:28Boy, am I
50:28in a pickle-mitten.
50:32What the dickens
50:33are you doing?
50:34Oh, Mr. Danny,
50:35things is bad.
50:36No matter how I figure,
50:38my total asset
50:39only comes to
50:40$2.57.
50:41That includes
50:42my best rabbit foot
50:43that I sold
50:44to Cinderhead
50:45for Thomas
50:45for a dollar even.
50:47Why the high
50:48finance all of a sudden?
50:49Oh, Mr. Freckles,
50:50you is now looking
50:51at a man
50:52under a dark cloud.
50:53Who ain't?
50:54This ain't no
50:55pigment of imagination.
50:56This is business.
50:58You know that
50:58gold machine
50:59that I saw
50:59at Roxbury?
51:00How could I forget it?
51:01Well, he done
51:02brung it back.
51:03I don't blame you
51:04for money.
51:04Now, wait a minute.
51:05You're going to hear
51:05some real money.
51:06And the $50
51:07that he paid me
51:08for the machine
51:09and he wants it back.
51:10And I can't give it
51:11back to him
51:11because he took it
51:12away from me
51:13in the basket.
51:14And old Roxbury
51:15don't fool.
51:16He told me
51:17he was going to
51:17stay right on my neck
51:18until I gave him
51:19that money.
51:20And if I didn't...
51:21Don't worry, Jeff.
51:22You've got company.
51:26Old Pickle Pusses
51:27can't tell onyx
51:28but good.
51:29You said it.
51:31If we could shake
51:32this old dodo,
51:33I bet we could
51:33find out a few things.
51:34I still think
51:35Quigley and those
51:36two mugs
51:36are nothing but crooks.
51:37No, you don't.
51:38No, you don't.
51:39I know what you
51:39was doing.
51:40Plotting, that's what.
51:41You talk so
51:41as I can listen
51:42or don't talk at all.
51:43You're goofy.
51:44Goofy, huh?
51:44Don't you get gay
51:45with me, young fella.
51:48What is this?
51:49Any messages
51:50that he took around?
51:51I know.
51:51You took them.
51:52You said it.
51:53Hello?
51:55Constable Weaver
51:56speaking.
51:57Yes.
51:57Yes, I get you.
51:59I'll go and pick up
52:00Mr. Potter
52:01and get right over there.
52:02Yes.
52:02Well, bye.
52:04That was for me.
52:06That takes care of him
52:07and Potter.
52:08As soon as they're out of
52:08town, we can go to work.
52:09I got some important
52:11business to take care of
52:12and you fellas stay right
52:13here.
52:14And don't try nothing
52:15until I get back.
52:37There he goes.
52:39Let's get started.
52:46Now's our chance.
52:47With him out of the way,
52:48maybe we can find out
52:49a few things.
52:49Come on.
52:54Wait.
53:04It's Mr. Quigley
53:05and the cops.
53:08Well, they're going
53:09to rob the bank.
53:10Nothing else but.
53:11I knew I was right
53:12about that, Quigley.
53:13What do we do?
53:13We've got to stop him.
53:15Danny, barge up
53:16to Potter's house
53:16as fast as you can
53:17before he and the
53:18constable can get away.
53:19Jeff, you go scout up
53:20a car so we can follow him.
53:21We?
53:22You know I ain't
53:22going to follow
53:22no bank robbers.
53:23Do as you're told.
53:24I'll disconnect the
53:25distributor so they
53:25can't stop their car.
53:27Now hurry up.
53:27Yes, sir.
54:08Jane, is your dad
54:09and the constable
54:09left yet?
54:10Yes, they left
54:11just a few minutes ago.
54:11Why, what's the matter?
54:12What's the matter?
54:13Quigley and these pals
54:14are robbing the bank.
54:15Robbing the bank?
54:17I don't believe it.
54:18It's a fact.
54:19I saw them
54:19with my own eyes.
54:20Well, I've got to
54:21get back to Freckles.
54:22Wait a minute.
54:28Here, take this.
54:30Thanks.
54:41Jeff, not here, you fool.
54:42Back up the street
54:43where they can't see us.
54:47I can't start it, Mr. Freckles.
54:48Step on it again.
54:51Come on.
54:51It ain't won't start.
54:57That's all of it.
54:58Keep it here.
54:59Okay, Quigley.
55:01See you later.
55:02Wait a minute.
55:03You're not leaving me here.
55:09Oh, here.
55:09Let me try it.
55:14Stupid.
55:14You had the key turned off.
55:16You know I forgot
55:16I turned it off when...
55:18Oh, did you hear
55:19what I heard?
55:20Sounded like shots.
55:21I'm gonna get out of here.
55:22Come back here.
55:23You crazy?
55:24I'm crazy like a fox.
55:25Let me out of here.
55:25Come here.
55:27Now we're in for it.
55:28Here they come.
55:39More of your funny stuff, huh?
55:41All right, smart boy.
55:42Start driving.
55:52Head for the best road
55:53out of town
55:53and keep going.
55:54Yes, sir.
55:55And keep bearing down
55:56on that throttle.
55:58Uh, Mr. Freckles,
55:59stop the car.
56:00I got to get out of here.
56:01Keep away from that break.
56:03What's the matter
56:04with you, Popeyes?
56:05I just remembered
56:06that I got to go back
56:07to the hotel.
56:08I forgot to put the cat out.
56:09Yeah, well, pipe down
56:10or I'll put you out
56:11like a light.
56:24Look out!
56:30I told you to be careful.
56:32All right, get out.
56:35Gosh, all fish hooks.
56:37It's the G-fellas.
56:41Put down those guns!
56:42Daddy!
56:43How we doing?
56:45Keep them up.
56:50Nice work, boys.
56:51I congratulate you.
56:56I knew right off
56:57they was crooks,
56:58the whole caboodle of them.
56:59I always say
56:59give them enough rope
57:00and they'll hang somebody.
57:02Are you all right, son?
57:03Sure, I'm okay, Dad.
57:04You should be proud
57:05of that son of yours, Winslow.
57:06I just found out
57:08about these men.
57:09They're criminals
57:09with a reward on their heads.
57:12A reward?
57:12No kidding?
57:13That's right.
57:14And all goes to you
57:15and Freckles.
57:16Holy cow!
57:17Now we can pay off
57:18that mortgage.
57:18And we can get that highway.
57:20That is,
57:21if the two road commissioners
57:22can get together
57:22and sign the permit.
57:23I don't see any reason
57:24why not.
57:25How about, Winslow?
57:27There's nothing
57:28I'd like better.
57:30Hey, what am I
57:31going to do with them?
57:32Take them to the country seat.
57:33Oh, oh, sure.
57:35Come on.
57:36Come on.
57:37Look out with it, sir.
57:42Say, I've been looking for you.
57:43Where's that money
57:44you owes me?
57:45Now, wait a minute now,
57:46Mr. Rocksberry.
57:46What about the extinction?
57:47I done changed my mind.

57:50I'm going to make you
57:51eat this machine
57:52piece by piece.

58:00anything like this before.
58:02I don't know just
