It is early Sunday evening in New York and a black chauffeur driven sedan
tears along one of the more deserted roads of the Bronx. In the vackseat,
a gentleman relaxes. His name is James O'Carroll. Mister Aracarroll is a
man who knows his way around, but at the moment he has begun to
have his downs. Sir Ralph, wasn't that Marshallop Parkway? I guess it
was mister Carroll, what are we doing here? I told you I wanted
to go to Island Chambers place. I must have misunderstood you. Wait a
minute, you're not for Ralph? No where is he? Let's just say
it was indisposed he sent me in his place, strived a car. Anything
you say, mister Carrol, what do you think you're doing? Open the
door for you? What for? I'm not getting out? I got five
hundred bucks in a gun. That says you're wrong? What's the idea?
You know? You're just trying to make conversation? All rite out? Carrol?
Out of the car. Okay, tell me something? Paddle here,
but stay away and keep your hands at your side. Can I smoke?
Yeah? But never mind reaching in your coat pocket? You can have one
of mine. Yeah? You spread a light? Why not? Happy?
Now? Yeah? I just wanted to get a look at you, and
I think it's gonna be much good. Mister rac Carroll. You never can
tell. Your name's fort, isn't it? And I'm flattered. I didn't
think a big shot like you would now a peasant like me. Who you're
working for? Aney? Your business? You want to Marvin braypast boys,
aren't you who Marvin Draper. I come and Ford, admit it. What
he got to lose? You're through with that cigarette. You're the boy who
took care of my partner too. I don't know what you're talking about,
Eddie Hutton. They tell me six months ago he took a dive in the
Hudson River forgot to come up. How could that happen? Maybe because he
was wearing a cement bathing suit. I wouldn't know, mister Carroll. That's
out of my line. Now let's get this over with, okay, Ford,
But I like to ask you one out of favor. Well, well,
maybe you're here. I'm kind of proud of his face. I wouldn't
like it to mess it up. How about giving it to me in the
back of the head. Huh, it's a reasonable request. I don't see
why I can't accommodate you. Turn around you ready? Wait a minute,
Ford, can you work a little closer? Why not? As this I
can see I'm practically untappy you now. It's all I wanted to know.
Oh, I said, Let go, Wow, go be nice to people
who's there. It's the place. Ah sure, just a second, Well
it ain't. Sergeant Corvid dying on your mind? Sogeon, how were you
at nine o'clock tonight? Right him? Oh that's interesting. Why do you
suppose Jimmy R. Carroll told us you were with him one? You're a
pretty careless fella. Next time you leave a man for dad, you better
take au saliva test. What are you talking about? He was found by
a prowl car twenty minutes after you left your lying I pumped, go on,
Ford, what were you gonna say? You pump two slugs in him?
Sure, but he didn't die instantly. He was obliging enough to stick
around for that prowl car and give him your name before he kicked off.
You trying to kid? Don't believe me? Huh? And how would I
know that our Carol put up a battle before you killed them? Yeah?
Crazy? And you're careless. You should wear overalls when you're working. What's
that spot doing on your pants right near the cuff? Don't tell me it's
lipstick? Come on, get wires yourself forward. You throw your only chances
to play ball with us. No, I'm telling you, yes, did
Marv Draper put you up to this? Come on for it. Don't be
a patsy. Why should draper, get away while you burn. Rape had
nothing to do with that. Who hired you? I don't know? Now,
help me set it's the truth. When I got home last night,
there was an envelope of my door with five bills in it. In the
note, I kind of announce said, if I knocked off her, Carrol'll
be another five hundred to ninth. Wh is there? No? Where's the
original? Knight? Tore it up? You lie? Why should I your
puck? I want the truth? Who hired you to kill Jimmy ar?
Carrol? Tell you don't know? Well until I find out, I'm gonna
make it so hot for you that when you sit in that seat that sings
sing, you'll think you're squatting out an ice box. Let's go. Yes,
I'm looking for Mike Wearing. Who will you know? The one they
called the Falcon? What's your name? Angel? Eileen Chambers? Are you
wearing? That's I'm afraid, so come in, take off your coat?
Thanks? Hmmm, pardon? I was just thinking out loud. He wouldn't
care for drink? No? Sure? Positive you sound like a girl who
knows her own mind. I do, Yeah, I was afraid of that.
Well, what can I do for you, Eileen. Eileen, an
efficiency expert once told me that by calling women by their first name during a
year, I might say as much as three seconds. Well, there's no
telling. He thought it might be as much as five. What's in your
mind, Eileen? Take a look at this certified copy of last will and
testament of James Accro. Where'd you get this from mister ar Carroll's attorney?
You benefit under the will? Read the last paragraph. Everything else I own
I leave to my good friend and partner Eddie Hutton. However, an event
of Eddie Hutton's death before mine, then I desire my estate to go to
my protege, I lean Chambers. Not bad, you like him? I'm
crazy about it. How much did a Carroll leave? What's your guess?
Round a million? It's closer to too. Well, it's really worth shooting
for, isn't it? Just? What is that supposed to mean? Oh?
Enjoy Ford bumper Carroll? He really did you a favor. I don't
like that kind of talk, mister wearing. Mister ar Carroll was a very
dear friend of mine. We related, No, we had no family.
He was interested in my voice. I see, he thought I had the
making of a great singer. Well just goes to prove you can't judge by
appearances. Now, I never would have taken Jimmy for a patron of the
odds. But uh oh, well, that's beside the point. How do
I come into this? Well, when I spoke to our Karo's lawyer this
morning, he showed a very strange reluctance to pay off. And you can't
blame them, Eileen, Who can't. I think he's got something up a
sleeve and I want to find out what it is. Seems pretty obvious Ford
hasn't told the cops we was working for it was Marvin Draper and the other
hand, suppose it was you. What, Well, let's face it,
Angel, Ourcarro's lawyer must have thought of that possibility, and so will the
police. Under our Carrow's will. You come into quite a bundle. Well,
that was just an accident. Eddie Hutton would have gotten at all if
he hadn't died before Jimmy. But he did, Eileen, and we mustn't
forget it. According to the grape Vine, Eddie Hutton died in October,
about two months after this will was drawn. So you see where that places
you but that's just a temporary delay, isn't it. Once Ford confesses who
hired him to kill our caro, I should have no trouble, none at
all, Eileen, unless, of course he named you, all right,
mister mister whom Yeah you hadn't never match with you, I think so?
Yeah, thanks, Sorry, I keep the whole pack. If you want
to keep your health, you'll behave yourself. What is this? Just walk
around the corner. I got a car waiting, Why bother? I can
get a care. Don't be cute. You've read enough books to know while
I'm keeping his hand in my pocket. Oh yes, forgive the oversight,
I'll start walking. Look, friend, I don't want to be difficult,
but you got the wrong boy. You know Mike wearing the falcon, aren't
you? Yeah? So I don't worry about any mistakes. My brother wants
to talk to you. Your brother, Yeah, he's waiting for you in
the car. There he is, Eddie, nice going, Alex, get
in wearing and she'll be glad to all right, Alex, let's go right
any place in particular you want to Alex to drop you wearing? Ah place?
Headquarters? Be fine? Well, I'm afraid that's a little out of
our way, all right. Now, look what's this all about. Don't
tell me you don't recognize me. Now, I can't say I do.
Ah such his fame to think only six months ago my picture was all over
the front pages. Hey wait a second, Yes, you're Jimmy Are Carroll's
partner Eddie Hutton? You hear that, Alex? Yeah, you're the man
of Ciguy. But I thought I was at the bottom of the Hudson River.
You can't believe anything you read these days, can you? Hid?
Marvin Draper took care of you. Well, he was thinking of it,
so I thought i'd better disappear. What made you come back? I got
a wire from Alex this morning telling me that our Caro was dead and you
were working for Eileen Chambers. I my how news travels. If you got
a fee out of her, you ought to return it? Why? Because
you can't earn it. Under the terms of Jimmy's will, all his money
goes to me. Miss Chambers won't get a dime now, so she'd better
start saving her money. Miracle has a flavor so pleasing miracle well tastes so
lively, so teasing miracle well only one of its kind, Miracle Well,
best salad dressing you'll find Miracle Whip is the only one of its kind because
it's different, a different type of salad dressing made from a secret craft recipe.

exactly right. Try it, won't you. One taste will tell you why
it's America's favorite salad dressing, The one and only Miracle Whip. Now back
to the Adventures of the falcon An. Hour has passed since Mike had his
little interview with Eddie and Alex Hutton, and now as we find him,
he is relaying the information to his client. Oh h seven seven, Yes,
Hello, is that you Aileen? Who is this Mike wearing? Well,
this is a surprise. I didn't think i'd hear from you for quite
a while. Well, I told you I was a fast worker. I've
got bad news for you, Angel, bad news. There's another two million
bucks you were coming on, don't I don't understand you. Eddie Hutton is
alive. Oh so you're a comic too. I'm not kidding. I saw
him not more than an hour ago. All right, I give up.
What's the gag? No gag, don't talk like a fool. Mic.
Eddie Hutton's at the bottom of the Hudson River shot. I'm sorry, Eileen.
Still, it was often nice knowing you, and maybe we can get
together on something else. Wearing, you won't get away with this double cross.
They're wrong, Angel, I don't believe in before you make one,
hold the phone. Huh someone at my door, speak of the devil.
I want to talk to you, Wearing. There's no point playing repeat engagement.
Hutton. I've already convinced you're alive. I was just telling Eileen.
Is is she here now? I'm talking her on the phone. Oh,
tell her? Tell her what's the matter with you? Hutton? Hutton?
Though, Aleen, you is still there. Yes, I'm not through with
you. I'll say you're not. Forget what I told you about Eddie Hutton.
But you said he wasn't dead. It was twenty seconds ago. Now
he's gone and done it. Here Marvin Drapern, that's right. Who are
you like? Wearing? Well, come in, thank you. This is
a pleasure mister Warren, I've heard a great deal about you. I've heard
a lot about you, Draper, believe me. So I've done nothing to
deserve it. You're just a little boy from down south came up to see
the big city. Huh, you'll making me, mister Warren. You don't
like that. No, so, if that's all you came here for,
I not quite. I thought we could talk a little business. I'm a
private detective. Well then you're wasting your time. I don't need one.
You never know, now, don't tell me that fellow who killed oar Caro
confessed he was hired by me. No, but remember a man named Eddie
Hutton vaguely, and I wouldn't be surprised if the police wanted to talk to
you about his murder. They're a little late, aren't they. Yeah,
well, they couldn't help themselves. His body just turned up an hour ago
where at my place. That's very amusing, I don't think so. You
mean you can't see the comic possibilities. And a man returning from the bottom
of the Hudson. He wasn't at the bottom. He was in hiding old
well. And the police did me a great injustice when they acqueried me about
his disappearance. Do you think I would soothe him for the embarrassment they caused
me? No, I'd wait, Draper, because they're bound to cause you
a lot more. They couldn't prosecute you then, because they had no corpus.
They looked to you. What do you think they'll say when I tell
them there's one in my apartments? Well, I'm not a gambling man,
sir, but I wouldn't mind risking a few, Bob Wager, and I
know what they'll tell you? What that? You're crazy, mister Wearing.
Now you just see if they don't help me, Mike, you must be
out of your mind. I think i'd swallow a yarn like that. I
tell you, Sergeant Eddie Hutton's body is in my apartments? How about Judge
Crater? He there too? All right? All right, be smart?
But when your boys get back? What boys? Well didn't you send a
detail to my place after I called you? You're kidding, listen, Corbett,
I'm not clowning. I don't think. Yeah, at your angle,
Mike, Angle must have one. You're working for, Draper? Would I
come here if I were? I represent a girl named Eileen Chambers. Oh
she Jimmy Carroll left some dough in his will? Is that so? Oh?
No? Look, cor but she didn't kill him. You said she
collected under his will. Well that doesn't mean anything. Has Ford talked yet?
Now I'm beginning to think that story of hers about the five hundred bucks
and the envelope is true. But you do believe Draper was behind that?
Yeah, okay, then this is your one chance to nail him through the
murder of Eddie Hutton. You gotta start that again. Listen, Sergeant,
Suppose Hutton was seen around town today, so this was a perfect spot for
Draper to act. Somehow he poisoned him. Poison Well, that's the only
thing I could figure out. It wasn't the mark on the body. Ah,
that makes a lot of sense. A man sits down with a guy
who knows wants to kill him and lets himself be poisoned just like that.
All right, all right, maybe he wasn't poisoned. I'm no doctor.
Draper could have killed him a hundred different ways. Look, why don't we
go over to my place and you can see for yourself. Okay, Mike,
I'll go along with the gag. All I ask is one thing?
I got no sense of humor, so be sure and tell me one to
laugh. Oh that's the matter, Mike having trouble. No, I got
it now, well, led tune on the lights. Where's Hutton? You're
blind? He's right there. Hey, he's gone. That's where I start
to giggle. I give you my word, sergeant. He was right on
the floor, the very funny. I haven't laughed so high. I don't
be a sap. They gotta bring you up here in a wild goose chase.
Ah, that's what bothers me. What do you mean? You're not
the kind of a boy who goes in for practical jokes. He must have
had a reason for this. And when I find out what it hit a
minute? What for? Did you bring a copy of Eddy Hutton's fingerprints with
you? Yeah? But when Hutton keeled over, his hand hit the top
of my desk. So what so he wasn't wearing gloves at the time.
Where's your fingerprint? Kits, Get me a glass of water. You need
water to run the test. No, I'm thirsty. We'll hurried up,
will you? How you doing? He throwing a second? If you don't
find a copy of Hutton's prints on that desk. I'll eat it, okay,
Mike, start eating. This desk is absolutely clean. Party appetite,
pal This is ed Hurley here again. Friends, I do want to tell
you something I'm sure you mothers especially will want to know. It's how to
get the finest cheese food you can buy for your family. It's simple,
really, Just be sure you buy Velveta Crafts delicious pasteurized processed cheese food.
Velveta tastes good and it's so good for you too. For Velveta is rich
in important food values from milk, and it's as digestible as milk itself,
so it's perfect anytime for snacks, sandwiches and grand hot dishes. Try it,
won't you? Mother? Make Velveta your handy helper. Just be sure
you get genuine Velveta, the pasteurized processed cheese food up top quality made by
craft. Now back to the adventures of the Vulcan. A short while ago,
Mike was dumbfounded when, after promising Sergeant Corbett the body of Eddi Hutton,
he discovered he couldn't deliver, for the body was gone without a trace,
and understandably enough, the good Sergeant sees very little humor in the situation.
Now I may tell you something, Mike, You're not gonna get away
with this. If you think I can pull a stunt like this and make
me the store, you're out of your mind. Sach Ah, that's good,
that's good coming from you. I'll tell you Eddie Utton's body was here.
Draper must have removed it. He would send a squad when I called
you give me that. You're talking like a child. Why would I dream
up a story like that about Hutton? I told you how his brother Alex
hijacked me this afternoon. Now, for your information, Alex Hutton is in
Florida. He's what. Yeah, I was picked up there a couple of
days ago from making book. Before they let him go, they wired us
if we wanted him for anything. So, if you've got anything else to
say, what do you think you're talking of? I'm sorry, cor but
I didn't mean it that way. You see what I see? Where on
the carpet under the sofa that pocket comb? Yes, that's not mine.
Someone must have kicked it there. Who's your finger print? Office? What
did you get to lose? All right? I don't touch it. You
got enough powder? Yeah, well can't you'll be quiet for a minute.
Well, what do you know? There's a right thumb and forefinger on here.
Look at this copy. They both belonged to Eddie Hutton. Well,
what did I tell you? I take it off back? Where's your telef
come in? Hello? Worring? So he was in Florida? Huh?
Say what goes on here? You are just the boy I want to see,
Alex. Sergeant meet Alex Hutton. Is he the one? Yeah,
he's the one. I want to talk to you, Alex. Well it
makes us even because I want to talk to you. Where's my brother?
Eddie? Who did you think? I meant? He's not here? I
can see that for myself. But where is he? He left my place
two hours of going said he was coming here. Well, well he hasn't
been back since. It's easy to understand, Alex, he's dead. I
don't like those kind of jokes wearing it's the truth, Alex. I'm asking
you for the last time, where's my brother? I told you he's dead.
You just won't be serious, will you? I all right, you
better put away the rod, Alex. This man's a sergeant with the New
York Police. Yeah, I got a badge too. I asked you a
question, worry, and I answered it to the best of my ability.
Eddie's dead and you better reconcile yourself to it. Who killed him? I
don't know, Maybe Marvin Draper, maybe it was your Why Eileen Chambers?
Why should she? I suppose you forgot all about Jimmy R. Carroll's will.
Now with Ddy out of the way, she's going to be something pretty.
You've got a point there, and I'm gonna let you in on a
little secret. Friend. Eileen isn't gonna lit the spender dime of that money.
You'd better watch your step, Alex. They can burn you for this.
Shall I tell you something worrying? If I can get Eileen, it'll
be worth it. I'll be seeing your friends. Well well, well if
it isn't Alex Hutton. You're surprised, Eileen not particularly. Come in.
Let me have you cooked? No, no, thanks, baby, I
don't think I'll be staying very long. That's where you're wrong, Alex.
That's the idea of the gun. I'm just beating you to the drawer.
Are you crazy? Well, it wasn't that what you came here for?
Of course, not But then, why do you suppose Mike Wearing made up
the store Mike worrying? That's right, you talked to him for a smart
boy, Alex, you made an awful boner. Didn't you ever hear of
the telephone? Great invention? He didn't call? Oh? Yes he did.
He should be here any minute. Oh there, that's proudly him.
Now come in, Hi, Eileen, Hello, Mike? Who is your
friend? Oh? That's right. You haven't met, have you? Aileen?
This is Sergeant Corbett and I am miss Chambers. Isn't she a great
Gala sargan? Look how she's in command of the situation, just like the
Marines and career. Aren't you proud of me? Oh? Angel, what
a question. You're all in this together. You better be careful for those
accusations. Alex, let me have the canon. Eileen, what for?
Well, that's an awfully big gun for a little girl like you to carry
him. I don't know. Don't think I'm swallowing this, Hutine, because
I'm not. You're all partners. Where's our motive? Two million bucks of
Jimmy Arcurroll left my brother? Sure you're hired forward to kill Jimmy and then
one of your poison Daddy. You're wrong, Alex evil? Then where is
he or he's been for the past six months at the bottom of the Hudson.
What are you babbling about? That guy who died over at my place
was a plant. If you dug up for the occasion, you'll nuts Mike.
Next you'll be saying he hired for to kill Jimmy ar Carol too.
Sergeant, how did you guess? You took the words right out of my
mouth? I admitted, Eileen, isn't this cozine? I still don't see
why we couldn't have brought your friend along, my friend, Sergeant Corbett.
I think he's cute. Oh really, Eileen, you disappoint me. Why
if I told you some of the things I know about Cormack, I'd much
rather you told me about Alex Hutton. Oh, believe me, he's a
much nicer guy, even though he did hire Ford to kill Jimmy A.
Carroll. Why, Well, so that the Carroll's will would go into effect,
you see, undrew its terms. If Edie Hutton was alive at the
time, he'd come into everything. That's why Alex showed up with his brother's
double. Well, why did he kill him later the other man had performed
his purpose Alex wanted to establish was that his brother lived longer than the Carrow.
In that way, your interests would be wiped out. Everything would then
go to Eddie Hutton. Well how did that affect Alex? Well, if
Eddie Hutton survived a carrow, the money would go to Eddie's next of kin,
not to me. No, So naturally, Alex tried to convince us
that his brother had lived longer than the carrow. Once he had me convinced,
he removed the body. Why why he couldn't afford leather be found again,
because then it would be easy to prove the man was a phony.
But with my story that I had talked to Eddie Hutton today, bus the
fingerprints on the pocket comb he planted my apartment, Alex said, all he
needed to substantiate his case. Well what was his mistake? Oh, well,
he made several, but one thing. He knew that the man who
died in my place was a victim of poisoning. Of how could he know
that when he had never seen the body? Then his hokey threat about killing
you was a boner too. Don't you think he meant it. No,
of course not. He did that. For fact, he wanted to show
as he was all broken up over his brother's death and that he felt you
were responsible. Hu, you don't really believe he forgot we could telephone he
had more. He wanted us to stop him. Well, Alex wasn't taking
any chances of getting in trouble with two million bucks in sights, which now
belongs to me, which now belongs to you. Let take care of about
your questions all but one just asking what time is it ten o'clock? I
don't want to be late for my appointment with the Sgeant Corbett. You don't
mean that he's waiting for me at the velvetere. What's he got that I
haven't got? Me and two million dollars? Good night, Mike 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 sake and injured, the Red Cross must extend its services to the
men of our growing armed forces in camps and HU hospitals at home and overseas.
Now too, the Red Cross must recruit, train, and equip millions
of home defense, volunteers in first aid and home nursing, and the Red
Cross system of blood banks must be expanded to meet greater civilian and military needs.
That's why Red Cross needs your help. By giving as generously as you
can to the Red Cross, you are helping to mobilize for the defense of
your family, your community, your country. This is NBC, the national
