1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,599
And and they wake up once you
please open your eyes. Oh me,

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:28,480
what's going on here? It's the
Amos and Andy Shaw. Tonight. Our

3
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:32,600
story opens in the auditorium of the
Lodge hall, where a celebration is in

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,399
progress in honor of Andy for his
long service to the lodge. He's one

5
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:40,119
of the few early members still active. Right now, the Kingfish is on

6
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,759
the platform before the members, completing
a speech of tribute. Andy is sitting

7
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:48,520
on the stage right in back of
him, and so fellow members are as

8
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,759
proud to pay tribute to our brother
hire on the platform, Mist Andre H.

9
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,600
Brown, who has done been in
our lodge for twenty years. Before

10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,920
mister Brown applied for membership with our
law, the census of opinion was that

11
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:07,920
and there was a bum. He
didn't have no money, he didn't have

12
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,799
no business. He never knowed where
he was going to sleep from one week

13
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,799
to the next. Now let's look
at him now and the progress that he

14
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,000
has done made in the last twenty
years. The day he is I would

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,599
say, well he is ah,
that is well, he's a fine,

16
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:34,280
healthy looking man. So, brother
and on behalf of the membership, we

17
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:41,319
present you as a token of our
steam there's brand new januine electric clock,

18
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:49,120
which set us back eight dollars and
fifty cents. Thank you, brothers for

19
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,920
this beautiful electric clock. It has
done touch me. I don't know what

20
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,680
to say, but I feel sure
that you brothers would like to know my

21
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,159
life's history, taking it right from
where I was born up to the day,

22
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,479
year by year. I was born
in a little town in Georgia.

23
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:22,919
We lived in the sort of a
barn. That was some speech to and

24
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,240
that made last night. I bet
he must have talked for two hours.

25
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,759
Yes, Amos, I tell you
I stayed till he was eighteen years old,

26
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,520
then I left. How long did
you stay at Fluca? Well,

27
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400
I stayed till he was twenty four, and that's about all I could take.

28
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,960
I wonder how long and had spoke
there? Well, I tell you

29
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,759
that boy really did it tear it
away with herself, don't it. Yeah,

30
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,599
you're right Fluca. When I hear
Andy get wound up and go into

31
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,800
a thing like it done last night, sometimes I wonder if this country ain't

32
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,759
making a mistake by having freedom of
speech. Well, the trouble with Andy.

33
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:00,400
Good morning, gentlemen, Good morning, Hello there, brother, and

34
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:04,319
hi you son, h fluky.
Get out the way there second, will

35
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,840
you. I want to plug this
clock in there and set up on my

36
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,719
desk. Oh ye, this show
is a nice clock. You boys give

37
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,400
me last night for my twenty years
anna reversary. Oh yeah, now,

38
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,639
Andrew, you gotta spin that little
wheel in the back of it to get

39
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,039
us started. Yeah, well,
don't seem to go. Let's see if

40
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,400
you got it plugged in tight?
He Yeah, the plug is in.

41
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Good. Yeah, that's funny.
A clock that won't run. I wonder

42
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,360
what she gets if it was only
in the lodge ten years. But I

43
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,400
can't understand it. That's eight dollar
and fifty cent clock. It aught to

44
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:43,080
work. Well, I got it
plugged in and I done turned the starter.

45
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:46,120
What else can you do? Say? I follows, you know eyes

46
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,080
a scientists. I could take it
over to my laboratory and smack it a

47
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,479
couple of times with a hammer.
Hey, wait a minute, I just

48
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,599
found this paper in the box that
the clock come in. It's a lifetime

49
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,120
guaranteed look aheah, listen to this
and say here this clock guaranteed for life

50
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:10,080
against all defects due to faulty material
or workmanship, and as signed by the

51
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Wilton Clock Company. Come on and
take you over to the store where we

52
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:23,480
bought it, and we'll show him
this guarantee he got to give us satisfactory

53
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,759
Kingfish, I know you bought the
clock here, but it was the last

54
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,199
one I had in the store.
Yeah, but don't you see the clock

55
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,720
don't work. Yeah, and there's
a lifetime guarantee that come with the clock.

56
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,800
Listen, boys, that's the manufacturer's
guarantee. And it so happened that

57
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680
the Wilton Clock Company is right here
in New York. Why don't you take

58
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
it down after them? You can
get some quick action, And that looked

59
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360
like the best thing to do.
Maybe we can get lightning to drive us

60
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,639
to the Wilton Clock Company and name
us a static head. Right, let's

61
00:04:50,680 --> 00:05:09,879
go. This must be the players
that say that Wilton Clock Company up there.

62
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,759
Yeah, this is it? All
right? All right? You wait

63
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,480
here, they didn't. This thing's
gonna take long, all right, as

64
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,279
I wait here for uh say,
this show is a big plan that got

65
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:24,800
you. Yeah, it must take
a lot of equipment to turn out clocks

66
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,160
that don't run well in there.
I think that that soldier can't be talking

67
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:38,120
to us. Oh that's us that's
us. What do you want? This

68
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:41,839
is a war plant? Oh oh
well, uh ain't this the Wilton clock

69
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,759
Company? Yes, but it's been
converted into a war production of precision instruments.

70
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,399
Oh yeah, that's it. Huh, well, you see, missus

71
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,160
soldier. The reason we don't come
down here is that I got a Wilton

72
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,639
clock that don't work, and it's
got a lifetime guarantee on it. Uh,

73
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
come on, and let's get out
of here. The lifetime guaranteed don't

74
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,920
mean much if they're gonna shoot you
on the way in. Now, let's

75
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:11,000
see mine. Wait a minute,
king Fish. Wait. Uh the company

76
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:15,279
must stand back of their clock share. They'll do that. Uh mister,

77
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,399
that's nobody in there that I could
get satisfaction from. Well, mister Wilton

78
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:21,000
is still running the plant, and
I guess you could see him. Yeah,

79
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,319
well, thank you, mister.
We'll be right with your key fish.

80
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:28,600
We better tell Lightning we'll be a
little longer. Look, and uh

81
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,319
uh, why don't we take the
clock back to the Harlem store there and

82
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,600
exchange it for something else. I
don't like the idea of going into a

83
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,079
place where everybody read to shoot at
you. Don't let us do that.

84
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:42,759
Oh, don't be silly, hey, Lightning. We just want to tell

85
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:45,560
you that we're gonna be in this
place a little longer than where you think

86
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,199
we was. Uh, well,
what did you come back, miss Andy?

87
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,600
Well, uh to tell you what
I just told you. Well,

88
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,279
that'll seem like a washes the time. Wouldn't it have been quicker if you

89
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,319
would win it and then the first
place instead of coming back here to tell

90
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,879
me that you're gonna be longer than
you think you were in the first place,

91
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Lightning, this place here is a
war plant. Now, well,

92
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,879
if you gotta get a clock fixed, then why does he want to go

93
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,680
to a war plan? We is
gonna rob the war plant, Lightning,

94
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:28,680
But don't tell nobody. Wouldn't that
be designor all Lightning? Come on,

95
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,439
Kingfish, come on, you know
ten years ago I would award that Lightning

96
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:38,000
couldn't get no dumber. But he
doesn't fool me. All right, fellows,

97
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560
we go right down this walk here, it's not far follow me.

98
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
thank you sir, Thank you, Ralph.

99
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,079
I think you've done a wonderful job
on this altitude device, Thank you,

100
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,519
mister Wilson. And I think if
it's successful it will be the most

101
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:03,279
important development of the year in combat
aviation. The beauty of it is that

102
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:05,800
it can be used in those big
B seventeen flying fortresses or on the P

103
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,360
thirty eight Lightning. I think they're
going to try it out on the P

104
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,079
thirty eight Lightnings first. The principle's
very revolutionary too. The secret of the

105
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,839
whole instrument, the actual heart of
it is these two little screws right here.

106
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,319
They're made out of that new highly
sensitive metal that we developed right here

107
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:24,120
in the lab. Well. I
don't have to caution you about guarding all

108
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,360
this very carefully, Ralph Uh huh, I should say not, mister Wilton.

109
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,279
Now, these are the only two
metal screws of this type in existence,

110
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:31,639
and this is the only set of
plans, So believe me, I'm

111
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:35,039
taking no chances. Oh uh,
did you say that altimeter clock is on

112
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,080
the way. Yes, it should
be here in a minute. Oh good,

113
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,399
then I can finish this thing up. I better check with Benson out

114
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:45,120
front of it. Benson speaking Benson
this and mister Wilton. I'm expecting a

115
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,200
couple of men with a new type
altimeter clock for those new pursuit planes.

116
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Now you send them back to my
office. Who's era, Yes, sir.

117
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,960
Oh. By the way, these
men are supposed to put some finishing

118
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,480
touches on this altimeter clock when they
get here. Oh, then I suppose

119
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,919
you want them to put on coverall
as usual. Certainly you know our rules.

120
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,559
Yes, mister Wilton, goodbye,
we'll see well, come down to

121
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:18,840
my office for a minute. I'll
show you are new assignment. Right over

122
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,200
to this window, fellas, mister
Benson. Yes, these two men want

123
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,759
to see somebody. Will you take
care of them? Okay, Sandra,

124
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,799
what was it you men wanted?
Uh, we want to see mister Wilton.

125
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,480
We got a clock here. Oh, yes, yes, I know

126
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:41,039
all about it. You do you
sure do? Get around? I'm in

127
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,000
through this gate here, please,
Yeah, I guess demand of the store.

128
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,639
I must have phone down and told
him about it. All right,

129
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:56,000
You can take off your clothes right
here. Yeah. Well, excuse me

130
00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:01,639
for protruding, but uh, did
you say something bout taking off your clothes.

131
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:05,039
That's right, I've go on the
plant with those clothes on. Well.

132
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,559
Uh, you're liable to be a
little drafty in there, mo.

133
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,799
Yeah, this is just a clock
factory in it. You ain't running,

134
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,120
No Turkish bath or nothing on the
side of you. Now, look,

135
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,919
I haven't got time to argue with
you. Before you can go back in

136
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
that plant, you've got to put
on coveralls, cover all. Look,

137
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Messa, we don't want to seem
pig headed about this thing. But the

138
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,159
one of the reason me is here. I know why you're here, and

139
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,799
you've got to put on those coveralls
just to see mister Wilton. Huh,

140
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,759
that's right, you know, Kingfish, the Mowai hears about this, fellow

141
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:43,639
Wilton, the Moai s's why the
clock won't run, Uh say, muscle

142
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,919
h When we get all fixed up
here, what does we do and where

143
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:50,720
does we go to find? Mister
Wilton? You go straight down to the

144
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:54,279
end of the passageway, turn left
and it's the first star. Thank you.

145
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,919
Yeah, well we might as well
get started. Yeah, get off

146
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,360
my coat. Uh. You know
something, Kingfish, taking advantage of a

147
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:16,240
lifetime guarantee ain't as easy as a
lot of people think it is. Well,

148
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,519
this is the end of the passage. Waited he said, turn the

149
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,200
right or left? And h seemed
to me he say left, no,

150
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,559
no, right? Yeah, that
said right? Yeah, we turned down

151
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:31,440
here. Then he said the first
door. Well, this is it right

152
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:37,720
here? Hm, ain't nobody here? Well, we just better wait around.

153
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,799
Uh miss Wilton most likely to be
back in a second. And yeah,

154
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,399
just don't look like much of office. Look more like a work room.

155
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,799
Hey say, I could use them
things right there? Oh what's that

156
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,919
in those two little screws there?
Yeah, the looking glass in my bathroom

157
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,559
was coming loose. Oh, go
ahead and take them if you can use

158
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,759
them. They don't want'em.
Yeah, yeah, they ain't got no

159
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,879
use for him. I think this
size. Here's ten for nickel in the

160
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,320
dime store. Yeh, slipping in
the pocket there. They must have millions

161
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,240
of them. See. I was
just thinking, Uh, we liable to

162
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960
be in here a little while yet
before uh we change our clothes and gets

163
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,879
out of here, Maybe we better
send Lightning a note and tell them what

164
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:20,639
we're doing so we won't get jumping
out there. Yeah, that's right.

165
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,200
Let's write him a note and we
can get somebody to take it out to

166
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,519
him. Yeah, here's a pencil
here, there's I use this piece of

167
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,159
paper here. Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, there's something on that

168
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,759
paper, King fee Or does a
bunch of lines look like some guy been

169
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,120
doodling with the pencils that are doing
his work. One side is blue,

170
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,720
and oh it's right on the back, all right, on the back of

171
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:46,120
it. There. I'll stay here, Lightning. What are you men doing

172
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,399
here? You know these men around, no, but I know they have

173
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,240
no business in this laboratory. Well
you see, mister, you're doing with

174
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:56,159
those plans. God, God,
screws are missing too. Well. Well,

175
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,159
listen, mister. The only reason
we come down here's this you.

176
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,240
Yes, I think we have a
couple of dangerous men here. Watch them.

177
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:05,759
I want to go through their pockets. Oh look, mother, we

178
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,120
ain't doing nothing. Now did the
reason we come down here? Here are

179
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,080
the screws? They were in his
pocket. It's lucky we got back in

180
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,000
time. We'd been a minute later, both the plans and the screws would

181
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,399
have been gone. And look what
they've got written on the back of these

182
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,039
plans, Lightning. Yeah, they
even knew these plans were for that plane.

183
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:26,000
Oh, mother, that ain't a
plane. As a man, yeah,

184
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,200
listen, we will. I don't
know what you tore up to,

185
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,840
but this is certainly a matter for
the FBI. God, yes, take

186
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:56,200
these two men to FBI headquarters,
and I hope they get what they deserve.

187
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,879
Well, they've got Andy and the
Kingfish down at FBI headquarters. The

188
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,759
FBI agents are giving them a complete
examination and taking them through a routine checkup

189
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,679
before bringing them in for questioning.
I think that's everything on that. Harris

00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:46,519
tell all your assistants here that there
is making a mistake. Yeah. Does

212
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,679
like I say, Mussell, I
wouldn't do nothing to hurt the government.

213
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,320
I as a pertriotic man, I
was one of the earliest American settlers in

214
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,960
our apartment houses. I wouldn't love
all life and look, try to remain

215
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,480
remember the joy. Hello, hello, Chief, we picked up those three

216
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,600
fellows from Harlem. You know,
friends of the men you've got inside there.

217
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:10,039
Oh, yes, I want to
question them. I'll be right out,

218
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:12,759
mister. You don't really think that
we meant to steal that stuff in

219
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:15,440
the workroom there, do you.
Well? Frankly, boys, I don't,

220
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:21,000
but we've got to make these routine
investigations to make sure pardon me moment.

221
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,759
Yeah, well that's a relief.
We'll wait right here. How do

222
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,279
you do? Man? My name
is Hood, I'm in charge here,

223
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,279
Hennessy. You got their names?
Yes, that's NamUs Jones, that's Henry

224
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,480
Van Porter. This fellow they call
lightning man we thought was a plane.

225
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:40,879
And you're friends of Brown and Stevens. Is that right? Yes? They

226
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,840
tell you the truth. They is
our best friends, mister. Yes,

227
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:48,799
we've known them for many years and
if there's any information you want, we

228
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:52,559
would be only too happy to bulge
it. I see, well, what

229
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,320
about you. You're the fellow that
drove them down to the plant, don't

230
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,960
you. I yes, I'd a
fellow that drove them down to the plane

231
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,519
in the taxicab. While I was
waiting for him. They never did come

232
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:11,039
out, and I waited for two
hours from and then I whizzed on home.

233
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,000
I see, Well, tell me
what do you know about these men

234
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,599
as far as their reputations go,
Well, Muster, I tell you the

235
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,640
truth. I know they're liable to
get into a little scrape now and then,

236
00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:27,440
like anybody liable to do. But
I can tell you this that they

237
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,920
would never do anything against the federal
government. I know is that? Why?

238
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,599
Certainly not? From my own personal
contact with him, I know that

239
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,880
they has always felt that crime was
in bad taste. Yeah. I don't

240
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,799
know what they accused him, mister, but I assure it must be some

241
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,920
mistake around here. In other words, you men all feel positive that Stevens

242
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,160
and Brown would do nothing against the
law. Yes, sir, I would

243
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:59,000
swear to that, Yes, except
for one thing. But well, I

244
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,039
guess I've been not saying though.
But what is it? Remember, you've

245
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:07,720
got to tell the truth here.
Well, I wouldn't want I wouldn't like

246
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:14,359
for you to repeat this because mister
Brown told me not to say nothing about

247
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,240
it. But when he left the
cave, he said he was going in

248
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:34,720
to robin war plans. Now we've
got something to go on. But mister

249
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,400
you said a while ago you figured
we was innocent. Yea, mossell believe

250
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,759
us, Please believe us. We
wasn't gonna steal nothing. Have you got

251
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:45,000
that lie detector all attached? Tennessee? Yes, sir, take this thing

252
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,119
off me, will you please,
mister taket Oh, I'll tell you the

253
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,079
truth. I'll tell you the truth. Brown I'm gonna ask you some questions.

254
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:56,359
If you don't tell the truth,
this lie detector will show just when

255
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,559
you're lying. Mister Dad, ain't
fair. This lie detect don't know nothing

256
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:06,640
about the keys. This machine records
your emotional reactions, and no matter how

257
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,319
hard you try to conceal your feelings, you can't fool it. This machine

258
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:17,279
transposes your emotional vibrations into sound.
I'll turn it on now. In other

259
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:21,720
words, when you lie, you'll
hear the hum rise. All right,

260
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:25,880
here's the first question. Your true
name is Andrew H. Brown? Is

261
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,640
that right? Yes, sir?
Have you ever used any other name?

262
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,960
No, sir, Why did you
try to steal those plans? Oh blah

263
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,279
bob. I didn't try to steal
them, mistern as, I did not

264
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:41,720
well, I didn't hear no rise
in hume, mister pose not. I

265
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:51,960
never told a lie in my life. Oh you you haven't. Uh uh,

266
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,519
mister you must have a short circuit
in death someplace. Mister Brown,

267
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,720
I'm interested in your source of income. Just what is it that you do

268
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,960
turn a living well? Uh?
Uh i uh? I as in partners

269
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,559
with the King Fishier And what does
he do for a living well? He

270
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:15,400
he he I would say, he
uh, just about the same as me.

271
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,359
All Right, what do you both
do? Then? Oh? Well,

272
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,119
well, uh we worked hard all
the time. If that's what you

273
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:29,039
mean, well, well, I
mean by that pretty hard? U mother?

274
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:33,480
Is that machine incinerating that my friend
is lying? Doing more than insinuating?

275
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:40,880
Uh? And put yourself together their
son? Brown? Brown, you

276
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,920
still maintain you just went inside that
factory to get a clock fixed? Yes,

277
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,319
sir, And do you expect me
to believe that, mister? I

278
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,119
just hope that someday your clock goes
bad and you got a lifetime guarantee.

279
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,519
But you did go in to rob
that war plant, didn't you? No,

280
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,759
sir, Hm doesn't seem to be
any reaction. Brown. I wonder

281
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,240
if you could be an innocent accomplice
in this thing. Yes, sir,

282
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:15,079
I'd be glad ya sa, And
I'd be glad to be innocent accomplice to

283
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,200
remember as his partner. No,
no, no, you don't quite understand

284
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,920
what I mean. Is is it
possible at this so called friend of yours?

285
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:26,799
The Kingfish is the mastermind and it's
just using you for a tool.

286
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,119
Now, weird a minute, Brown, have you ever known the Kingfish to

287
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:41,359
do anything dishonest? Hold it and
hold it now. What's the matter?

288
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,720
And before you answer that question,
I want you to calm yourself down there.

289
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,839
I want you to get your motions
leveled off, smooth of the pool

290
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,039
tables. All right, answer the
question, have you ever known the Kingfish

291
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:59,599
to do anything dishonest? Well?
I didn't hear nothing. I did.

292
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:03,160
What I was gonna say, is
I know the Kingfish is honest? All

293
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,119
right? Well, that is I
think he is. Well, what I

294
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,680
mean is he's honest most of the
time. That is to say he honest

295
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:18,000
at least half of the time.
Look, look, mister, maybe weybody

296
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:25,759
get off this question before we blows
a fuse here we also, mister,

297
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,359
I gonna tell you that machine and
there is just naturally suspicious. Listen to

298
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,759
me. Listen to me, young
man. Did the Kingfish take you into

299
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:34,039

301
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:41,279
the key questions, sir? Well, boys, I guess you've been telling

302
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:44,240
the truth about the clock. Looks
like we're up the wrong street. You

303
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:45,799
mean that we can go, mister, Yes, I'm sorry about this,

304
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,960
but we have to check into these
things. I guess you were pretty sore

305
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,440
at me there for a while.
But well, I'm not such a bad

306
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,359

307
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:11,960
swell fella. I tell you,
amos, I'm gonna split this whole thing

308
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,759
wide open and let people know what's
going on here in this country. Now,

309
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:17,880
I take it easy, and it
way take it easy. Nothing.

310
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,920
I gets electric clock with a lifetime
guarantee. The clock don't work, I

311
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:26,119
try to get it fixed and nearly
end up an electric chair, and then

312
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,359
will your flee has calmed down?
Listen, I has done already rid a

313
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,319
letter to President Roosevelt telling him how
his citizens is going to get getting pushed

314
00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:38,920
around. Oh now, look,
and the President Roosevelt don't handle things like

315
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,119
that. Well, somebody in the
government ought to do something about it.

316
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:47,400
What is I paying all these taxes
for that I would pay if I was

317
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,720
paying any And what did you write
to President Roosevelt? Well, you see,

318
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:56,240
all this happen because the clock didn't
work in the first place. So

319
00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,759
I rid him to the order to
see that the clock companies make good clocks

320
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,880
with good wire in them, and
good cock wheels and good everything else.

321
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,599
Oh, I don't think you would
have done that, And well why not?

322
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,799
Like I say, if that clock
would have worked in the office this

323
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,799
morning, it would have saved everybody
a lot of trouble. Oh, come

324
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,160
in lightning. What do they say
lightning? Well, Ms Sandy. I

325
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,319
took the clock over to the electric
company and they say it ain't nothing wrong

326
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,559
with the clock. As you me. Yeah, you ain't paid your bill

327
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:49,559
for two months and you'll lect trust
if in turned off. Make sure that

328
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:52,960

329
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,680

a fancy mix up at a masquerade ball.

330
00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:02,519
Our program is broadcast to our arms
forces everywhere. This is Harlow Wilcox.

331
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,000
And before I say good night,
here's one more thing. You know,

332
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:08,119
there's only one reason that we keep
asking you to turn in your waist

333
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,400
fats. That reason is that the
need is urgent, so urgent that it's

334
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,559
one of your most important jobs.
It doesn't matter how many times they've been

335
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,160
used. Those fats will yield crystal
clear essential material for ammunition and medicine.

336
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,920
Your meat dealer will pay you and
give you two red points for every pound

337
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,240
of used fat you turn in.
Not in a glass container, please,

338
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,000
any tin can will do, Thank
you, and good night,
