could afford one like it, especially if I already had two other guys.
What's on your mind? May see? What are you doing here? You
know the answer to both those questions, sous, It couldn't be money by
any chance on the nose a genius. Not that I like to be mercenary,
understand, but if my money is going to be buying in fancy automobiles,
it ought to be buying him for me. You know, I don't
like to be done done, he says, Look, pal, you borrowed
the insignificant sum of only twenty thousand berries from yours, truly a mere nothing.
And it was only eight months ago, practically yesterday, and you were
gonna pay me back in three weeks. You're only seven months late. Done,
You'll get your money. I've heard that song before. I used to
believe it, but you've been living high. When I hear you bought yourself
another Jalopy imported, yet I figured it's rates a LuxI and conversation about my
Mazuma. Shall I hand him the old scramble? Let go? No,
no, no, no, he's entitled his money. He wants to be
small about it, small, he says, eight months. Worry because I'm
a little fast with a butt. You think I'm tossing the rope. I
didn't ask any questions when you needed the dough. I figured you were a
pal. You said you were going to make some investments. Okay, but
now what do you expect me to think? I have made investments? May
see? I have very good investments. All I'm blowing is the velvet.
I teld me something. You know fighters, What do you think of Pepper
Dugan? Good punch? I don't know how he is on distance. He
seemed to tire the last time I tire Coaster. That's all. Had the
decision wrapped up for the as so he took nine and ten easy. You
know all about it? I ought to. I owned the controlling interest in
Dgan. Oh that's where your twenty is. May see. That's what Dugan
cost me eight months ago, twenty grand. And since then he's won three
fights, big ones. It's worth double the twenty now, at least it
could be. So you've seen a profit. Now let me see my twenty.
I'll do better. Ma see, I'll give you a choice cash or
what you lent me plus a five. How's that I'm already Dugan's contract for
the twenty I owe you plus five grand more. That's all. I'm asking
a profit of five geez, you said yourself. Dougan is worth plenty over
twenty five. Now yeah, but then why you did me a favor?
I'm doing you one, that's all. I don't know. Well, it's
up to you take it a leave it. You want cash, I'll pay
you cash you want. Dougan, just give me back my notes and to
check for the balance. I'll think it over. You do that, ma,
see you just do that. That's it, Dugan. I'll throw your
right, no dog on it, the right, Harry. You throw a
right this time, Dougan. When he does, connor with your right now,
Harry, No, Dugan, all right, boys, hold it?
Will you hold it? Come here? Dugan? Sorry, what's the matter
with you? Harry comes through with its right and you just stand there.
It's his hand. It's hurting again. What hand my right hand did?
Mister Saunas? Tell you? Tell me what why I busted my hand?
And he hated a Gosha fight you. But so that's why you slowed?
Sure, sure, it's a bad break. Doctor doesn't know if it'll ever
hear right, And Saunders was doing me a favor unloading you. Oh that's
just great. That is Say wait a minute, mister Macy, you think
mister Saunas jipped you intentionally? Are you kidding? I don't know. I
always trusted him. He talk so honest. Sure, he's got a great
line. I don't believe he's a crook. He was always good to me.
He gave you the heap hole as soon as you slipped the cord.
He he told me he was getting out of the fight game because you busted
your meth. Could be But I hope you're wrong, mister Macy. I
sure hope you're wrong. OK, kid, I hate to destroy your faith
in man. It's not my faith. I'm worried about, mister Macy.
It's my fifteen grand mister on his hell back part of my cut at the
gates in the last couple of fights, that he was going to invest it
for. Oh fine, mister Macy. Yeah, Dugan that lawyer you're gonna
say, do you figure he could take on an extra client? Hello?
Hello, does Michael Whering live here? I do? Oh you're My name
is Ralph Macy. I need a detective. My lawyer suggested you. What's
your lawyer's name, George Hollis. What it's a good case. He rates
a box of cigars. Come Christmas. I just want you to find a
man for me. What did he take your money or your woman? How
do you know it's either? He usually is, especially with a lawyer involved.
He jipped me out of twenty five thousand dollars and another fellow out of
fifteen gypped and skipped. That's right. And my lawyer tried to reach Saunders.
That's the fellow ride Saunders. Try to reach him at his hotel,
but he's gone, no forwarding address, just a back bill for over two
months. He does' miss. It's a trick. You find him for me.
Made fifty dollars a day and expenses. I'll try. They say the
falcon never fails. Who says, well, do you well? I'll just
say I never admit failure. All right, may see what can you tell
me about Saunders? Yes? Are you Ivy Gray? That's right? They
told me Saunders has expensive taste. I see what they mean. What are
you talking about? You and Roger Saunders? I understand you were good friends.
Were we still are? Well, then maybe you can tell me where
to find him. Maybe I can. What do you want to see him
about? About ten minutes? What is an Ivy someone for me? Yes,
he didn't give his name. No, don't tell me your saunders?
Why not? Isn't that work? Who you want him? But it's too
simple. I've just thought looking lugging for what for you? In the first
place? I tried, why are you? Why are you looking for me?
Well, there's Mike Wearing Ralph Macy hired me to locate you hide you
you were to take it, I be wearing. You're not the falcon of
my mistake. I thought I was, and may he could have saved himself
with trouble and expensive hiring you Wearing? Why didn't he call Ivy himself?
Probably didn't think she'd talk. He thought you were hiding. Why should I
hide? Well, you did check out of your hotel suddenly to prevent their
throwing me out. I was what is known as in arrears. But I'm
not hiding. Well, I'm glad to hear that I've moved to the grafting
apartments. Macy can find me there, he likes. But just what does
he want his money back? He says, Egypt him what I did him
a favor. Well, he doesn't see it that way. Well, if
he wants money, he'll have to get in line. So I gather,
and you might tell him the lines not going anywhere? What's that can't collect
what I don't have? You have three cars, a summer of state in
Maine, fifty suits of clothes. Who's been taking inventory Macy's lawyer. Oh,
well, tell him to look a little closer and he'll find none of
it belongs to me. It's all in Jocko's name. Who's Jocko? Jocko
Quinn friend of mine? And Jocko owes nobody. So see Wearing, I'm
not in hiding. Nobody can touch me legally because I have nothing to touch.
Yes, I see Saunders. But when your creditors hear about it,
I have an idea they're liable to touch you, and in a way you
won't like come in at you, Dugan, mister Macy, I just come
from it. I hope he had good news for you. You'll need it.
Huh. I got a report from Wearing. He located Sunders. Oh
good, good, he says, Saunders has pulled a legal cutie, handed
all his marbles to Jocko. I don't get you. You don't get anything
pal neither do I. It's hocus pocus with our green backs, there's nothing
we can do. Wait a minute, take it slow, will you look?
It goes like this. Saunders has turned all his cash into merchandise,
clothes, cars, houses, whatnot, and he mortgages the whole package to
Jocko. He still don't get it. The stuff is in Jocko's name.
Legally we can't touch it. But Jocko is just saunders stooge. So Saunders
has full use of the whole works and we're out in the cold. Can
he do a thing like that? He's done it. That's just great,
that's all I need. You know what the doc said, your hands still
isn't right. I can't fight at least a year, that's what he said.
That means no dough coming in now. I gotta collect from Saunders.
That's all I got it, so do I. But the question is hot,
lawyer, yours is no help. I'll just have to help myself.
If I could only get some on this some time when Chocko isn't around.
After all, I still got one good hand. Yeah, dude, you've
also got a very good point there. I hope something comes of it.

to the adventures Off the Faulton. A few days have passed since Macy and
Dugan decided they weren't going to get a legal technicality stand between them and collecting
the money Roger Saunders owed them. They're also not going to let Saunders stooge
Jocko Queen stand between them and the money. But Jocko knows none of this.
As he enters Saunder's apartment, but he's meant by a white faced Ivy
Grave. Choko, where have you been? Just down to get some cigarettes
from mister Saunders? Why was anyone with him when you left? No?
Was he expecting anyone? LEU? You're sure? What is this? Where?
Where's Saunders? What is nigs in the other room? Well? Why
the questions? Look for yourself? Eh, go ahead right in there.
Okay, mister Saunders, I'm back. Hey, what's the matter with him?
He's dead, That's what's the matter with him. Hello? Is that
the falcon? Yes, this is the falcon speaking wearing get lost Houns again
in a way I thought last time was a little too easy to be true.
I know where he is wearing. It's not that We'll keep it up.
You're making great sense. He's dead. Oh well, couldn't happen to
a nicer guy? Am I supposed to register surprise or sympathy? Sympathy for
a guy who egypped his friends for me? The police think I did it?
Or did you? Why not? And then told it's against the law.
Oh, you never break the law. I parked over time once,
but I paid my fine. Okay, you're a model citizen. What do
you want me to do about it? Convince the police. It'll take more
than the character. That's why I'm calling on you. You can find the
real killer, can I? The faulcon never failed you, dream of you?
This is one dream that better come trol Wearing. All that depends on
it is my life, all as Sergeant Corbet, Well, goody goodye,
it's Mike Wearing. Did you come down to headquarters to see your client wearing?
No, of course not Corbett. I came down to see you.
He loves me. To know you is to love you. How did we
get into this? What do you want wearing? What have you got on?
The sword? Is killing? He's dead? Well, thanks so much.
His girl found the body. I'd be gray. Yeah. What's this
list of things you found on the body? Yeah? Just the usual handkerchief,
keee hag gets his cigarettes, matches, coins, any finger, princes
in the apartment, his all the girls, and Jock o'quinn's guy who works
for him. So right away you used the Macy. Macy had a beef,
claimed Saunders. Gyptum. If you suspect everyone who's sounds gyp, we
do, then Macy doesn't head the list. Now you brought him down here
just for questioning. We let him go. That's too bad. Why since
he's my client, I'd like to feel sure he's innocence and nothing could give
me greater confidence along that line than you're thinking he's guilty. How's it going,
Dougan? Do I know you? I know you. I've seen you
in the ring. Oh oh, that's what you train on Irish straits?
Are you gonna give me a temperance? Selecture? Answered a lot of my
line and go away, go away. Macy tells me Saunders owed you fifteen
grand says you were sore when it looked like you might not get it back.
Oh, Macy says, does he? Macy says he talks too much.
I'll fix Macie so he doesn't talk so much like you fix Saunders.
A wise guy. Maybe you want something too. You don't do so good
with a busted my stomach full of fog, Joe Dugan, come on,
help you up. Oh wait a minute, that's just in your pocket.
I mean I better keep this until you come out of dream land. Hey
give me that too. You've had too many shots of alcohol to risk letting
you take any shots with a gun. Come on on your feet. Hello,
hello Wearing. Oh, yes, Wearing, how's it going? I
don't know yet. I've just seen your boy Dugan holaded to the gills and
packing a rod. Oh you can say that again. He was planning to
go gunning for you for me? Why I was my fault. I try
to get him steamed up to see what he'd say, and now he wants
to feed me lead. Yeah, but I've got his cannon. Oh but
I thought I own to warn you anyway because he might dig up another one.
Thanks Wearing. But I can take care of myself. Sure you can't.
May see, the question is can you take care of Dugan? Oh?
Hello, mister Wearring. Why don't you call me Mike? I hardly
know you. Well, let me in. We'll go to work on that,
please, mister Wearing. Roger's death was quite a shock, then why
not help me find out who've done it? What difference does it make now
a lot of difference to the murderer. But I'm afraid I can't be much
help you found the body. I'd like to forget that. Were you in
love with Saunders? H I liked him because he was a good spender partly
of other people's money. I don't know. I didn't ask where he got
it. I do know. Okay, if you're going to make him remarks,
goodbye, mister Wearing. Just a minute, Where was Jock O'Quinn when
Saundas was killed? Roger send him out to get some cigarettes? Now?
Will you please go if you'll answer, just two more questions? Sorry,
I wear eleven e'se. You can't possibly close the door. What are the
questions? Well, Saunda's absent minded? What? No? No, of
course not? Does your heavy smoker? Not especially? And that's two questions.
You're right? You are angel so long? Uh pardon me you Jack
o' quinn, Yeah, not good. I heard that you're eating this bean
wagon like. I've heard quite a lot about you, Jacko. It's time
we met. Oh you, what do you want? And is Mike Wearing?
I've heard about you? You too, falking? I think we gotta
get long. Fine, you have no just looking for you? Well,
I'm finished. He has just to keep the change. Come, I'm wearing.
If you want to talk to me, yeah, sure, yeah?
What do you want information about Saunder's murdered? I don't know nothing now,
No, no, don't be so modest, Jocko, I wasn't there.
Where were you? Saunders sent me out for cigarettes? You're lying, jock
Home, But I said you're lying and I can prove it. Yeah.
Yeah, Saunders had a pack up cigarettes so on him when he was murdered.
He wasn't a heavy smoker, so he wouldn't have sent you out to
get him some. So Jocko, what do you got to say to that?
What have I got to say? Just this? Oh no, you
don't ha ha. Zugan, you showed up in the nicked time. Thanks
for knocking out Wharing. You saved me the trouble. I've been looking for
you, Jacko. Seems everybody's looking for me. Yeah. Now that I've
taken care of wearing, it's your turn to me. Chucko, Hello Corbett,
welcome to headquarters again where Well, look at you? Who stepped down
your face? That's what I'd like to know. You mean, you got
your jaw pushed out of shape like that and you don't know how it happened.
That's right. Well, that's what comes of hitting the bottle. It
feels more like the bottle hit me. But at least I solved the case
for you. Oh you salved I know who kills Saunders. Are you gonna
tell me or do I guess? Well, let's not wait for miracles.
I'll tell you. Don't do me any favor. It's no favor. I
have an account to square with Jocko Jacko. Is he the murderer? He
is? You don't say, I do say, and you have an account
to settle with him. He's responsible for this lump on my jaw. But
you didn't know how you got that. I don't not the details. All
I know we were fighting and all of a sudden it's lights, bells and
curtains. But so help me, that's where he didn't throw a punch when
it happened my eyes not that bad. He just blew the man down.
I don't know. I'm gonna find out as soon as you pick up Jockoe,
so'll get to work on it. I anticipate your every wish. We've
already picked up Jacko. All we gotta do is put them together again.
What let's go down to the hospital and you can see for yourself. Hospital.
That's right wearing. He was unconscious, but maybe he can talk now,
you know, for a couple of boys who didn't throw many punches.
You fell assured did a lot of damage. Hello Jacko, visitors, Hello
such you know Wearing Jacko? Yeah we met, Yeah, head on,
But I want to know Jacko? What hit me? Zugan with his sap
Duggan. Yes, Sogan, he come up while we was fighting. He
wanted to get Wearing out of the way so as he could go to work
on me. What do they want to do that for? Said? He
was collecting for himself and Macy. He couldn't collect from Saunders no more,
so he was gonna collect from me with a black jack. Yeah. He
got me in his car, tried to get me to sign a paper.
When I said no, he started swinging. Oh I canna say why you
didn't want to sign away your stuff after you had killed a man for it.
I didn't kill Saunders where he always treated me good. Why did I
want to kill it? For all the stuff he put in your name with
Saun his dad, he was staring to keep it. But I didn't kill
And how about that lie about the cigarettes? Okay, okay, so I
lied that. Don't make me kill it or watch you lie because I didn't
go out for cigarettes. I went down to Louis cigar stand to place a
buck. I played the numbers with Louis only I didn't want mister Saunders to
know because he didn't like me to play, and I didn't want to make
trouble for Louis, so I tried to keep him out of it. That's
all. It's a joke, Sergeant. I'm not laughing at you, Jacko.
But look at mastermind Hair. He had the case all solved. It
was just one little thing wrong with his figuring. It gave him the wrong
answer. This is ed Hurleyhee again. Friends, I do want to tell

has passed since Mike Wearing found that a private detective's lot is not always a
happy one. Now the Falcon has arrived at Ivy Gray's apartment, still in
search of the elusive solution to the case. Mister Wearing, will you please
go away and stop bothering me? Sure, as soon as you tell me
just exactly what happened up at saw in this place I did. I missed
some of the details I told you I want to forget. So let's get
the fact straight before you do. You found the body? Yes, it
was in the back room of the apartment. Yes, how did you get
in? The door was open? Have you found the body? What did
you do? Start to leave to call the police. At the door of
the apartment, I met Jock O'Quinn. He said, Roger sent him for
cigarettes. Did you tell him about the murder? No? Not right away.
I started asking questions when he wanted to know why I showed him the
body, and then then I got out of there. Now is that all.
Just one more question? What is it? What are you doing tonight?
Angel? I'm aside Sergeant Corport speaking, he's out there. Send him
in. I want him to see this. All right, Macy, sit
down next to Dugan. You on the other side of him. Jack Oh
okay, asked what is this? Sergeant. I'm going to prove a couple
of points, but we'll wait until Wearing gets in here. He's right outside
prove. He says, you don't have anything on us. We'll say,
all right, Wearing right on him. What are you so cheerful about,
jolly boy? What's the matter? Wearing still sore that you pulled the boner.
I haven't tossed in the towel yet. Hello Macy, Hello Wearing and
Jocko, what are you doing out a bed? He's gotta wrap this case
right around your boy's neck. Wearing. I'm sure Dugan told him he was
collecting for himself and Macy. It means they were working together and the beat
up of Jacko was part of a plan. Man, this is the first
I heard of it, that's right, Sergeant mister Macon didn't know. Yeah,
well you told me Corbett. Once we go through all his wriggamarles,
you shut up to Wearing. We tried your way. Now it's my turn.
I like my way better. If it doesn't work, I wouldn't say
that. Oh you got the case solved again? No, not again?
Still, ah, I said, Jocko kills sound as he did, and
this time he's not squimming out of it. See, Wearing, I told
you, did you make see sure the falcon never fails. I want to
let the sergeant corbett. For a while he thought the Falkon had laid a
great big egg. How'd you finally clinch it? And when Jocko ran into
Ivy and Sauna's apartment, he told the Sauna to sent him out for cigarettes.
But I proved that was a lie up, But he explained then,
But how come he thought he could get away with that lie when he meant
Wiles and Saunas didn't send Jacko out for cigarettes. Saunas would naturally trip him
upon it. But Saunders was dead. Sure, Only how did Jocko know?
Supposedly he didn't learn of the murder until after the lie. Oh As
if he'd been innocent, he'd have thought Saunas was alive in the apartment,
and he wouldn't tell an obvious lie involving Saunas are under his nose. Therefore
he knew Saunas was dead. Therefore all right, wearing I get it,
I'm good at friends. America's defense program has placed on the Red Cross one
of the greatest responsibilities it has ever had to assume. Now, in addition
to day to day aid to the sick and injured, the Red Cross must
