Get some tomorrow at your groceries. And now, the case of the unwelcome wife. It's early Sunday evening in New York, and in the Swank Club 19, a young man named Richie Wayne gazes around the bar with a proprietary interest. And proprietary is the word for it. Or if Richie doesn't exactly own the place, he manages it. Which is the next best thing. You fellas getting everything you want? Yeah, you bet. Richie, how are things by you? Couldn't be better. Oh, Joe. Take care of my friend. Excuse me, Mr. Wayne. What is it, Marty? Mr. Castell wants to see you. I can't right now. I'm busy. The boss said it was important. Okay. Look after things. I'll be right back. Hi, Jack. Tommy. How you doing? Yes, hello, Vince. Oh, come in, Richie. Thanks. Marty said you wanted to see me. Mm. I've got bad news for you, Ken. Why? What's the matter? What would you say if I told you that one of my most trusted men had let me down? Man, I treated like my Own son? Who? You. Richie. What are you talking about? I dropped in at the bank today. Oh, you should have. Should have let me go. That was my mistake. I've been letting you go too often. They tell me I'm $90,000 overdrawn. Now, how do you suppose that happened? Listen, Vince, I can explain. I'm not interested, Richie. All I want is my money. Look, you don't understand. I understand. I trusted you and you let me down. That hurts, Richie. And if you don't get that Money Back in 48 hours, it's going to hurt you. You a lot more. Richie. Hello, June. How are you? Fine. Let me take your coat. No, no, I can't stay long, June. I've. I've got to talk to you. But, darling, I've got company. Oh, I guess she means me. What are you doing here, Bruce? Now, now, Richie. I'm afraid your friend doesn't like me, Jules. No, I don't. Get out. I thought this was her apartment. Maybe you better go, Bruce. I'll call you later, okay? So long, Richie. No hard feeling. Go on, beat it. You're the boss. Good night, Jules. Good night, Bruce. What was he doing here? Now, look, darling, let's get one thing straight. This is my place. You promised me you'd never see him again. Did I? Yes. Then I guess I just can't. Joan, let's. Let's not fight. I'm in enough trouble as it is. What do you mean? Vince discovered that I've been forging checks. What? Well, how do you think I was able to give you the ring and the bracelet and all the other junk? Yes. You know, I often wondered about that. Of course, couldn't buy that on my salary. So you've been dipping in the till. Listen, June, I. I hate to ask you this, but. You want me to turn back everything you gave me? Yeah. I probably could raise 70,000 on this stuff. No, darling, 50. How do you know? I've already sold it. What? The jewels you saw me wearing were copied. Where's the money? Oh, I found a better investment. June, you gotta let me have it. Don't be ridiculous, Richie. But you don't understand. Vince will kill me if I don't get it back. You really think so? Of course. Well, in that case, all I can say. You let me have the money. No. It was nice knowing you, dear. Take. Too bad it had to end like this. Second, take it easy, will you? Hiya, Mike. If it isn't Discount Charlie. Yeah, that's what it is. Can I come in? What's the password. I can get it for you wholesale advance, friend. Thanks. Sit down, Charlie. Yeah. Don't mind if I do. How's business? Oh, swell, swell. Good. Cigarette? Yes. Oh, incidentally, Mike, how much you pay in a cart? $1.99. Well, I can get it for you for 180. Well, I'll keep you in mind, Charlie. But you didn't come here for that. No? No. I got a proposition for you, Mike. What do you mean? Well, I got a case for you. There ought to be a very nice fee in it. Unless, of course, my usual small cut for steering the business. Do you, uh. What's the matter? I don't split fees. All I ask is 10%. I wouldn't give you five. I'll take two and a half. Sorry, I'm not interested. You sure? Positive. Well, that raises a very delicate point, Mike. Oh, yeah? Yeah, you. You see, the guy was coming to you anyway. You little chisel. Hey, where you going? He's waiting in the hall. Hey, Richie. Want me, Charlie? Yeah. You might as well come in now, Mike. I want you should meet a very swell fellow. Richie Wayne. How do you do? Heard a lot about you, Mr. Waring. I've heard a couple of things about you. Well, now that we're one happy family, Richie, I want you should tell Mike your problem. Not very involved. Waring. I work for Vince Castell. I know. You managed the Club 19 for him. That's right. Well, a little while ago I needed some money and. And you helped yourself with some of Vince's. Yeah. What did you do? Forged checks. $90,000 worth. Now, I suppose Vince threatens to blow a whistle. Not exactly. He gave me 48 hours to get the dough up. If I can't by that time, I don't think he'll bother going to the da. What happened to the money? Bought some jewelry for my fiance. Only this doll does not happen to be his fiance. She's a grifter named June Dennis. June Denison? Yeah. Yeah, she's working a con game with a character named Bruce Chaney. What do you say, Warren? You think you can get the moolah back for Richie? I can try. Where does this June Dennison live? She's got an apartment at the Stratford Arms. Okay, I'll look her up. Be careful, Mike. Why, Charlie, I didn't dream you cared. I'm not kidding. I noticed, Darcy. She's as sharp as a razor and just as dangerous. Watch it when she starts working on your neck. Yes? How do you do? My name is Mike Waring. Come in. Thanks. I'm looking for a June Dennison. Now, isn't that a coincidence? That just happens to be my name. Well, well, looks like I hit the jackpot. Just think, it only cost you a dime. Or did you come by cash? You know, June, I wouldn't be surprised if we got along real fine. Oh, I'm sure of that, Mike. And that Mike proves it. You don't think I'm being forward? No, not at all. You know, this is all very funny. You invite a strange man into your apartment. You never once ask what he wants. Maybe I can guess. Oh, mind reader. You're no stranger to me, Mr. Waring. I understand you're one of the best private detectives in New York. Me more. Well, I imagine you've come up here to see about Richie Wayne. That's right. How about it? How about what? At 90 grand, why not give it back? You know you're going to have to anyway. Oh, I'd love to, darling, for your sake. But unfortunately I have got a little partner, Bruce Cheney. And I don't think Bruce would approve of my turning back the money. Not after we worked so hard for it. Well, let me worry about Bruce. All right, Mike. Anything you say. You mean you'll refund the money? With the great falcon on my trail, what else can I do? I don't get it. Oh, darling, you're so suspicious. You see, I've got nothing up my sleeve. Nothing but a lovely arm. Well, shall we drink to our bargain? Why not? I'll be back in just a moment. It'll seem like a year. Am I as good as my words? Oh, much better. Here's your drink. Just a moment. June. Yes? Would you mind very much if we traded glasses? But why, darling? It's an old family custom. You know, Mike, you're pretty cute. You ought to see me do card tricks. Well, shall we switch? Do you insist? I insist. Now, let's see you poured down your health, darling. Drink, Hardy. Well, I'm still alive. Yeah. I guess I owe you an apology. Then why not drink to me? No sooner said than done. Here's to a beautiful friendship. To you. Hey, that's pretty potent stuff. A bit of pack squirrel. Why, Mike, what's the trouble? Sudden I feel dizzy. I. It's your imagination, darling. Why, you little. Wearing, wearing. Ah, you poor darling. You poor, poor SAP. Hello? Hello, Bruce? Yes. June Waring show up as predicted. What happened? He came, he saw, and I conquered. Good for you, baby. Oh, it was nothing, Bruce. I guess I'm what they call a femme Fatale. How long has he been out now? About 10 minutes. Well, he's good for three hours. That ought to give us enough time. You know what to do? Just follow your instructions. That's right. Think you can handle it? Leave it to me, Bruce. As far as Mike Waring is concerned, I'm a knockout. It's lighter bodied, it's super fine. It's craft salad oil. The first salad oil ever offered for your home use by the makers of all those wonderful craft prepared salad dressing products. When you make a homemade salad dressing or a chiffon cake or anything else that requires liquid shortening, you know that much of the secret of outstanding success lies in the salad oil you use. And that's why the introduction of Kraft Salad Oil this spring has been such big news. Such good news for so many women. Craft salad oil is more than just a new oil. It's a new kind of oil. A lighter bodied oil designed to blend quickly and perfectly with other ingredients. And craft salad oil is a lighter bodied oil because it's not just refined, it's superfined by a special process created by Kraft. So tomorrow, when you see Kraft Salad Oil on your grocer shelves, remember, it's lighter bodied, it's super fine. Try lighter bodied super fine craft salad salad oil. Tomorrow, look for the bottle with the beautiful ladle. Now back to the adventures of the Falcon. Several hours have passed since Mike Waring paid his visit to June Dennison. And the young lady in question swept him off his feet. Of course, she had a little help. It came in a bottle labeled Mickey. And now as we find the couple. All right, all right, June, you can turn off the water now. Don't you think you ought to felt your head a little longer, Mike? No, but darling, you'll feel better. Oh, I feel dandy now. Oh, I just can't understand what happened. Where have you been eating lately? Obviously in the wrong places. Where'd you get that? Mickey. Mickey? The one you slipped in my drink. Oh, darling, how can you say such a thing? We were celebrating and you overindulged. I might buy that, June. Only I had nothing to celebrate. Now, Mike, how can you speak that way about our marriage? Of what? Our marriage. Oh, darling, you were so masterful. You kidding? Why, Mike, you couldn't possibly have forgotten so soon. Would you like to see the wedding license? I'd like nothing better. Here you are. Well, I'll be a dirty name. That makes me Mrs. Dirty Name. All right, June, the comedy's over. What's this all about, sweetheart? I Told you it was love at first sight. Plus the fact that with me married to you, I couldn't very well accuse you of taking Richie Wayne to the tune of 90 grand. You see my point, Mike? You wouldn't want your wife known as a common criminal. Whose idea was this? Bruce Cheney's. He was here with the justice of the peace while you were, shall we say, out? Didn't the justice comment on my condition? Oh, no. He was a friend of Bruce's. Oh, that was very smart of Bruce. I'd like to congratulate him. Don't bother, dear. Just send him a wire. No, no, no. That's too cold. I'd rather take this up with him personally. Oh, but, darling, what about our honeymoon? Well, that will have to keep, angel, until Bruce and I get together and decide who's the best man. I guess he's not home. Are you sure this is Bruce's apartment? Of course, darling. Would I fool you? No. Perry forbid. I suppose we go in and wait. The door's locked. I'm surprised at you, June. That's no insurmountable obstacle. You going to pick the lock? No, I'm going to pick your purse. Let go. Now, angel, you can't begrudge your husband a little privilege like this. That's part of the marriage contract. The groom is entitled to life liberty in pursuit of his wife's hands. Can't beg. Here we are. Dirty trick. You know, June, I don't approve of you having a key to Bruce's apartment. And I may have to take a step. Now, listen, mate, uh. Oh. Someone's taken them before me. What? Look. Bruce. Yeah. What's the matter with him? He's dead. Oh, no. I. I don't believe it. You're a pretty hard girl to convince. But who could have killed him? That's just what I was going to ask you. What do you mean? Well, thanks to those knockout drops, I was out for about four hours. Now, what did you do to amuse yourself during the. Aren't you overlooking something? I don't know. Am I? Yes. Where's my motive? What about that 90 grand you got from Richie Wayne? Now you won't have to do any long division. You can keep it all for yourself. Oh, you're wonderful, Mike. You can't imagine how happy I am that we're married. Why? Because a husband can't testify against his wife? You ought to know, dear. But doesn't it work the other way, too? What do you mean? Well, a wife can't testify against her husband either. And you had a motive to kill Bruce, too. Did I? Well, you don't exactly approve of our marriage. And it was Bruce's idea. Yes, but I was unconscious during that time. So you claim. But now that I think of it, maybe you were faking. I don't know how long our marriage is going to last, June, but I can see now it's going to be exciting. And think, darling, it's just beginning. Yes, I'm going to love every. Look at that. Came from the closet. All right, friend, come on out. Okay, why not? Get those hands up. Wearing Richie. I'm sorry I startled you, June, but I had no choice. Mr. Waring was so insistent. What are you doing here, Richie? Slumming. And you? What's the matter with you, kid? Don't you remember? I'm working for you. You mean you're working on me. You must have gotten quite a laugh when I told you about my troubles. I give you my word, Richie, you got it all wrong. I'll bet I have. So you were in on it all along? No. No wonder Discount Charlie gave you such a buildup. I can't wait to thank him for bringing me to you. Richie, you've got to listen to reason. Just stay where you are. Wary. I'm not clowning. Come on, June. What? You hurt me. I'm taking you with me now. Richie, you wouldn't want to do that. Mike and I were just married. That's too bad. But unless you and your husband want to spend your honeymoon in the morgue, you'll go quietly. Come in, Charlene. What's the score? Well, doesn't look too good for the home team. You mean you didn't get Richie's dough back? Not a dime. Yeah, that's not so good, Mike. The kid ain't got much time left. You know what Vince Castell will do to him if he don't dig it up. I've got an idea. Well, what'll I say to Richie when I see him? Well, whatever it is, Charlie, you better make it convincing. He thinks you and I were working with June in this swindle. Well, that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. Wait till you hear the topper. Bruce Chaney has been murdered. You kidding? Hardly. Hey, who knocked him off, June? I don't know. Before I had a chance to ask, Richie kidnapped him. That's not good. No, we were on our honeymoon. What are you talking about? Congratulations are in order, Charlie. We're Mr. And Mrs. Is this a gig? Well, if it is, it's on Me? Well, why did Richie want to snatch your wife for? I don't know. Maybe he thought she could help him find you. What? That's right. I had so much other news, I forgot to tell you. When last I talked to Richie, he mentioned he was going to look you up. Hey, the kid's going off his trolley, Mike. We gotta find him. Why not let him find us? What do you mean? Well, if he's gonna try to kill you, obviously he's gotta locate you first. That's a cheery thought. Yeah, I was sure you'd like it. Well, after he shoots you, call me at my apartment, huh? Yeah. Supposing he kills me dead? Well, now, Charlie, you don't wanna be selfish. I'm supplying all the ideas. The least you can do is supply the corpse. I'll be seeing you, fella. I hope. Just a second. Mr. Vince Castell? Yes. My name is Mike Waring. I tried you at your club, but they told me you left. Come in. Thank you. What's on your mind, Mr. Waring? I'd like to talk to you about Richie Wayne. What about Richie? Well, I'm working for him. You gave him 48 hours to dig up the money to cover those checks. I know what I gave him. Yeah, well, how about an extension? Not a chance. Now, what do you want to be so vindictive about? Richie made a mistake. Anybody might have over this girl. I can't be that tolerant. Well, you never saw her. She's the type who uses voodoo. One whiff and you're knocked out. Has she got my money now? I think so. Well, then I'll see her very shortly. You know her name? I'll find out. I can save you the trouble. They tell me it's Mrs. Michael Waring. What? Oh, I think your phone's ringing. Let it ring. But it may be for me. I left a message at my place. I was coming over here. Do you mind? Got it on. Hello? Hello, Is that you, Mike? Yeah, this is Discount Charlie. How'd you make out? Well, not so hot. I couldn't find Richie anywhere. Well, look, Charlie, here's what I want you to do. Wait a minute, Mike. Someone just came in. Who? Hey, hey, listen, kid, what's the idea? Hey, put away the ride, Richie. I'm your friend. You don't know what. Charlie. Charlie. What's the trouble, Warren? Something's just going dead, Castell, and I don't think it's the line. Where is it? This apartment here. 4D. Try the door. No, it's knocked. Sure wouldn't you know it. What about the keyhole? So this is how you become a columnist. You see anything? Nope. He's still in there. Well, there must be some other way to get into the apartment. Forget it. There isn't. Come on, Vince, give me a hand. What are you going to do? Break it open. You with me? All right. 1. They don't make the doors the way they used to in the old days. Where is he? In the corner. Charlie. Charlie. Is he dead? No, his heart is still beating. Get some water. Oh, now, don't, Richie. You got us wrong. Take it easy, Charlie. You're gonna be all right. Oh, hello, Mike. Hiya, fella. How you doing? Great. That's the spirit. Here you are. Here. Thanks. Come on, boy. Drink this down. I can't hurt. Where? All over. That's just a shock. As far as I can see, it's nothing but a flesh wound. Charlie, what happened? I don't know. Somebody plugged me. Don't give me that. You know who it was, honest. Honest, I don't. Mike. He got me from behind. Then how come the bullet entered your shoulder from the front? What's more, I heard you calling Richie over the phone. Now listen, Mike, the kid didn't know what he was doing. I hope the cops will agree with you. Was June with him? No, he was alone. You feel well enough to travel? Yeah. Where are we going? Over to Richie's apartment. Isn't this a job for the police? You forget fence. Richie beat it with my wife. And I wouldn't want the cops to interfere in a purely family affair. Shall we go? When you shop tomorrow, be sure to pick up a pint or quart bottle of craft salad oil. It's the wonderful new oil for your homemade salad dressings. Your cooking, your baking. The first salad oil ever offered for your home use by craft. Remember, it's a lighter bodied oil that blends perfectly with other ingredients. Lighter bodied because it's super fine by a special process created by Kraft. Don't wait to try craft salad oil. Look for the bottle with the beautiful label. Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. An hour has passed since Mike Waring learned that he obviously is never to enjoy his honeymoon. Now we find the Falcon, Charlie and Vince knocking on the door of the snake in his own personal Garden of Eden. Yeah? Richie Wayne in? Sure, come in. Thanks. Where is he? Under the blanket. What? You want to look at him? Yes. Holy smoke. Well, thank you very much, Mr. McDonald. Only it's lieutenant. That's what I thought. I don't believe I caught your name. Waring the Falcon. That's right. Who are your friends? My name's Vince Castell. I've heard of you. Charlie. Charlie Beck's my name. Glad to know you, Lieutenant. Hi, John. What happened to Richie? Can't you see? You mean that gun in his hand? Yeah. Yeah. But why should he want to commit suicide? For you friends of his? I work for him. Okay. And you can read this. To whom it may Concern. There's nothing else for me to do. I killed Bruce Chaney and Charlie Beckham. The poor narrator, he knocked me off. No one else is to blame except the woman who got me into this. June Denison. Well, that's all there is. Is that enough? I don't know, Charlie. There are several things. It doesn't explain One. What happened to my wife? Hello, Mike. Speak of the devil. Darling, you're not very flattering. Who's she? My wife, Lieutenant. Really? Really. Were you worried about me, Mike? Why, naturally. You forget, angel, we haven't even had our honeymoon. Leave it to me, darling. I'll make up for it. You'll make up for a lot of things, Joan. You cause that kid to take his own. Hey, hold it. Hey, you know something, Mike? I don't think Richie did commit suicide. What do you mean, Charlie? Well, I got an idea. He was knocked off. Well, why couldn't that letter have been tricked up by June? Oh, isn't he sweet? Now, you're wrong, Charlie. June couldn't have done it. How would she know that Richie tried to kill you? Oh, yeah, yeah. She wouldn't. But you were right about one thing. The note is a phony. It was written long before the attempt on your life. That doesn't make sense. It does to Charlie, though, doesn't it, pal? Hey, Mike, you realize what you're saying? Sure. You killed Richie Wayne and Bruce Chandler. Now, what's the idea, Mike? Well, you steered me to a good thing, friends. So I don't mind steering you to one. A little item known as the chair. And Charlie, for you, I'll even forget my discount. You know, I've just come to a conclusion, Mike. What's that, June? I've really got a brilliant husband. What gets me is how you knew that the note Richie left was a phony. Had to be, Angel. It was obviously written before the attempt on Charlie's life. Charlie killed Richie, wrote the note, then went back to his own place and shot himself. Is that a guess? No. It's the only way it comes out. Even when Vince Castell and I got to Charlie's apartment. We found the door locked. Before we broke it down, I tried to peek through the keyhole. Couldn't. Why not? Key was still in the lock. And since that was the only door to the apartment. You tell me how Richie could shoot Charlie, make his exit, then lock the door from the outside yet leave the key on the inside. That calls for Houdini, baby, and he's been dead for years. But what was Charlie's motive? You know that as well as I. Didn't he steer Richie to you and Bruce in the first place? Yes, but why did he steer Richie to you? He had no choice in the matter. Richie had made up his mind to come to me anyway. And by going along, Charlie could keep tabs on the situation. Isn't that how you knew I was coming over to your place? Well, yes. But why did he kill Bruce? Well, if he could knock him off and frame you for the kill, that left him in the clear with Vince's and no one to split with. But why did he kill Richie? Well, Charlie couldn't afford to let him live. Richie had him pegged as the party responsible for all his troubles. That was why he released you to go after Charlie. Well, that'll learn me. I hope so, angel. What are we stopping here for? This is where we get off. There's police headquarters. Well, that's right, it is. What's the idea, Mike? Well, the idea is that I'm working for Vince Castell now. And you've got a nice hunk of chance that belongs to him. But I'm your wife. Ah. Look, June, let's not kid each other. You don't think for a minute I believe that routine. Didn't you know that you can't get a license in New York without a blood test? Are you no good. If you're so set on getting married, I'll be waiting. And with time off for good behavior, who knows, we may even be able to make it by 1961. Friends, this is Mike Waring. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you ever break a traffic safety rule? You know, every time you do, you're taking a chance, a big chance, and making yourself a vital statistic in a traffic death toll. A toll that's tragically big. Yes, in most every traffic accident there's a violation of some traffic safety rule. So be careful whether you're walking or driving. Obey those safety rules. Remember, the life you saved may be your own. The case of the proud papa. The case of the proud Papa.

In a small hotel room on Manhattan's west side, a brunette named Rita Jordan quenches her thirst. And when Rita hears a knock on the door, she hardly hides the bottle, proving conclusively it doesn't contain soda pop. Who is it? Me. Just a second. Leah. Hello, darling. What were you doing that took you? Aren't you gonna kiss me? Cut it out, Rita. You smell like a saloon. Well, it's a nice thing to say. I told you to lay off the stuff. Honestly, Leo, I haven't had a drink without kidding. Where's the bottle I told you I had? Where is it? Riddy. Ow. Ow. Well, in the bureau. Draw that one, please, sweetheart. You've got to understand, I'm sitting if I don't have a drink. What are you doing? You don't have a garbage disposal unit in this junction? No, Leo, don't. Don't. Why did you do that? Because I can't trust you. You smug hypocrite. I hate you. I hate you. You know you don't really mean that. Ow. You're crazy about me, aren't you? Everything's going to work out real fine. Go on like this. Leo, I can't. Well, you don't have to. You think I enjoy seeing my wife living a crummy dive like this? Don't you think I got a heart? That's why I lined up Ernie Moore. Ernie? Yeah. How you doing in that department? Says he's in love with me. Well, that's wonderful. You think it's wonderful? He wants to divorce his wife and marry me. Sure. That shows you're doing a fine job. But that's only half of it. Well, I can't do the rest. Now, look, Rita, you're gonna go through with it or I'm through with you. Now, make up your mind. Well, I'll get the money from Ernie. You got a date with him tonight in an hour. Good. Listen, Leo, couldn't I have just one small drink? No. Just to give me a little. I said no, Rita. But you do the job right, and I'll buy you a case. Now go wash your face, baby. We want you to look real pretty for the boy. Oui, monsieur. Oh, I'm looking for. Oh, there she is. Hello, Ernie. How are you, Rita? Been waiting long? Seemed like years. Hope you don't mind my ordering. Of course not. Look, that's stupid of me. I went and finished your drink too. Waiter. Madam, I think we better go around again. Very good, madam. What's the matter, Ernie? You look unhappy. Look, I. I don't want to heckle Rita, but don't you think you're drinking too much? Are you gonna start lecturing me too? Well, I only. Why can't a girl take a drink without a sermon? It's all right, darling. No, it isn't all right, darling. Just because I like to feel good, somebody think I was committing a murderer. I'm sorry, Rita. No, it's my fault, Ernie. I'm sick. But you're responsible. I am? Darling, can't you see I'm crazy about you? Won't you know how I feel about you? Say it. But. You mean it. Well, let me prove it to you. You mean by getting a divorce? Yes. I'll speak to Janet tonight. No. No? Why not? Because. No solution to the problem. You work for a father, don't you? Yeah. How long do you think your job would last if you and Janet bust? Well, I don't care. Well, I do care. No, we've got to use our heads. Sweetheart, if you just had a little money put away. It's no use talking. I haven't. Well, why don't you get it from Janet? Father, are you crazy? Listen, I heard some place Paul Victor is one of the biggest loan sharks in the world. What's that got to do. Well, it stands to reason a man like him would keep a lot of cash in the office. Rita, you suggested. Yeah. Well, you're crazy. He'd kill me. Oh, don't talk, child. Genesis, pride and joy. You told me so yourself. Well, sure, but. There are no buts about it. Victor would never do anything to hurt her. And she's in love with you. You find leather. Look, Ernie, I know women. A girl like Janet will do anything to protect her man. How much cash does Victor generally have around the office? Well, it varies. Yeah, but generally runs around 75,000. Well, just think how far we could run with that. What do you say, darling? Am I worth the gamble? Well, sure, but. There we go. Who with the butts again? Well, when you make up your mind, give me a call. I can't promise I'll wait too long. Yes, Mr. Wearing? That's right. The Falcon. Right again. Do I know you? You should. My name is Paul Victor. I spoke to you on the phone yesterday. Oh, yes, yes. Come in. Won't you sit down? What's the trouble? Don't you think I can take it standing? I don't know what gave you the idea I had anything unpleasant to report. But you have. Yeah. You know, generally I don't handle this kind of matter. Well, I'm glad you made an exception in my case. I only did because you seem so concerned about your daughter. And as you suspected, your son in law has been running around with a girl named Rita Jordan. She's married to a petty larceny thief named Leo. I don't believe you. You don't believe what? That he's a petty larceny thief? Or that Ernie's been playing around Neither. I don't understand you Victor. You asked me to do some research on your son in law. Obviously you were suspicious. I was nothing of the kind. I was merely interested in seeing how you private detectives operate. And you were supposed to be the best. Now I'm not so sure. What do I owe you? Oh, I'll settle for an explanation. I'm afraid you won't get it. You better take my check Mr. Waring. You'll find it much more satisfactory. 41 right, 23 left, 17 right, 93 left. Where did I put that briefcase? It's on top of the safe, Victor. I hope I hadn't inconvenienced you Ernie, but I had no idea. Now listen Victor, I know what you think. Well what could I possibly think? After all, what could be more natural than to find my son in law at my safe? Of course someone with an evil mind would say what is he doing there after office hours? And with a gun no less. But that would never occur to me. So suppose you put the money back. No. Put it back Ernie and I won't say a word to Jack. I don't care what you say to it. I just. Get out of my way. Now don't be a fool Ernie. Are you going to go? I told you to let go. No Victor, I didn't mean it, honest I didn't. Victor. It's all right. Ernest. What? You can turn on the light. I'm not asleep. I'm sorry Janet, but you see. Don't bother lying. I got a call from Papa. Got a call from your father? Yes. When? 10 minutes ago. Then he isn't dead? No. You hit him in the shoulder. Why did you do it, Ernie? Look Janet, don't. Don't ask me any questions. I don't have to. I know it's her fault. Her fault? That Rita Jordan. What? Don't you see what she's doing to you? She's no good, Ernie. Who told you about her? Papa had her investigated by Mike Waring. She and her husband are just using it. You're lying. She's not married. Jordan's her husband's name. Helio Jordan. He's a petty larceny thief. You crazy? I swear it's the truth. Oh darling, I don't care what you've done, but don't let this woman make a fool of you. Papa promised he wouldn't say a word to the police. You'll return the money. Oh Ernie, listen to me. If this woman was any good I'd let you go. But she's Rotten. Shut up. You're jealous, that's all you have to make up lies. Well, that won't help you one bit. You and your father can do what you want. Because I'm going to do what I want. Beginning right now. That clock. Right, Rita? No, no. It's 15 minutes there. Well, I better beat it. Just. No, don't go, Leo. Don't leave me alone. What are you crazy? You better douse yourself with some of that taboo. Your boyfriend will be here any minute. My boyfriend? How can you say that? Now, look, girl, don't go temperamental on me now. I'll be waiting downstairs in the lobby. When I see the schmo come in, I'll call you on the house phone. As soon as he forks over the dough, send him out for a couple of minutes. What'll I tell him? What'll you tell him? Tell him you got a headache. Tell him you need aspirin. That's a good excuse. Ernie. Who is he, Rita? Leo. I'm. He's her cousin. Yes, Leo, this is Ernie Moore. Well, I've heard a lot about you, fella. Rita's done nothing but talk about you all night. Well, I guess you love Bradley. Just a minute, Jordan. You must think I'm pretty stupid. How's that? You're her husband. No, Ernie, honestly. Don't make me laugh. I heard you two talk. Oh, you shouldn't have done that, Ernie. Don't you know eavesdroppers never hear anything good about themselves, lady for a sucker. That's right. What are you going to do about it, honey? You just wait and see. Oh, he's a mean one, isn't he? Leo, darling, please, please, Leo, please, no more. Keep out of this, Rita. We're just having fun. Ernie's getting a kick out of this, too. Aren't you flapping? Hello? Is this Ms. Rita Jordan? Yes. Well, this is a desk clerk. I've been trying to reach you for the past half hour. What is it? I hate to bother you, Ms. Jordan, but the party in 209 has been complaining of a disturbance. I haven't made any noise. Only claims you heard someone yelling. Well, he's mistaken. There's been absolutely Nobody here but Ms. Jordan. Ms. Jordan. Hiya, Mike. How goes it? Oh, I can't complain, Ed. Hey, like that new sign you got out in front? Ed Hurley. He's luncheonette. Big red light. Well, Mike, when you're in business, it pays to advertise. Well, not my business. Oh, say, that reminds me. There was a fellow dropped in who I think he said his name was Paul Victor. That's funny. Where'd he go? Teddy. Be back in a couple of minutes. What do you have to eat? Oh, hamburger, coffee. And. And a salad. Salad? I didn't know I wanted one. Well, that's just it, Mike. A lot of men like you, who are always in a hurry, never eating at regular hours, quite often forget to order salads. You enjoy salads. You know they're good for you, but you're just not in the habit of eating them regularly. What you really need is the wife to cook for you. Married men eat salads all the time. Other than the wives must earn the living. How come? Cause hubby's home eating salads all the time. Now, look, when I saw you coming in, I put this combination salad on your table. Now just taste it. Yeah. Hey, that's good. That's really good, Ed. You know why it's good, Mike? What do you think I am, a detective? Seriously, Mike, it's the salad dressing that makes those vegetables so good. It's Miracle Whip. I use it on all my salads. Now, you mean vegetables are vegetables, but when you put Miracle Whip on them, they taste even better? That's right, Mike. Because there's no other salad dressing like Miracle Whip. It's the one and only. Didn't you notice that flavor of Miracle Whip? It's not too sharp or too mild, but just exactly right. Doggone good stuff. Ed, let me tell you something you may not know. Ever since I was a kid, I've been eating Miracle Whip on my salad. In fact, I've got two favorite dishes. One of them is Miracle Whip on salad. Oh, what's the other? That blonde you saw me with last week. Oh, am I interrupting? Well, if it isn't Mr. Victor. I'll leave you two alone now. Yeah, thanks, Ed. Well, I understand you've been looking for me, Mr. Victor. Yes, I have. Sit down. Thank you. What happened to your arm? My arm? Well, you weren't wearing it in a sling the last time we met. Well, it's a long, dull story. Well, I'll take your word for it. What's on your mind? Have you seen this? In fact, the Burnett's slain in hotel room. Rita Jordan, age 29. Rita Jordan? Yes. They're holding my daughter for the murder. Your daughter? Mrs. Janet Moore. You know. You checked her husband for me? Yes, so I did. Well, now I'd like you to work for her. And of course, she's innocent. Well, of course. How could Janet have killed Rita when I did what you say? I seem to have surprised you Mr. Waring. Perhaps you can do as much for the police. Shall we go? Well, if it isn't the one and only Mike Waring. The Falcon. Well that's five dollars I owe myself. I knew you were going to say that, Corbett. Yeah, far be it for me to disappoint you. You know Mr. Victor. Sergeant Corbett, Homicide. Oh sure, sure. My brother in law is one of his best customers. Says he'd rather borrow money from Victor than a bank. Well please thank him for me. I'll be glad to. What's the matter with your arm? That's another story. Why not tell it now? I haven't heard a good one in years. You must be hanging around with a dull crowd. Now Mike, that's no way to talk about yourself. Whatever happened to the typical dumb cop we used to hear about? They've all gone into television. What's on your mind? Well, I'm working for Janet Moore. Janet Moore? The girl you're holding for the Rita Jordan kill? Her husband hired you? No, Mr. Victor here did. He's her father. Well if you're working for it stands to reason she's innocent. But of course you won't think me bold if I ask who did kill killed Rita Jordan. I did what? And I don't regret it. She was destroying my daughter's happiness. Well that's very noble of you Victor. I tell you I killed her. Sergeant. What'd you do with the knife? The knife? You certainly didn't slit her throat with one of Mike's sharp jokes. I disposed of it in the customary fashion. And what is the customary fashion? I threw it down a sewer. Now what do you say Sergeant? I say you better get yourself another confession. Why? Well there are a couple of things wrong with Victor. First of all, we have a signed confession from his daughter. Yes, she made it to protect me. Let me see that. I can assure you it's in perfect order. I tell you I killed this Jordan woman. Not with a knife you didn't. According to this, Rita was shot to death. Yeah, well it's been nice seeing you Mike. Drop in again when you get another confession. I just love hearing them. Yes? I'm looking for Ernie More. I'm sorry mister, I'm very busy. Oh, this won't take long. You better get out of here. Now relax Ernie. My name is Mike Waring. I don't care if. Did you say Waring? I must have. You're working for my wife. That's right. Well I'm glad to Meet you, Waring? I was. I was just on my way to your place. I don't think you would have found me there. My wife didn't kill Rita, Mr. Waring. She signed a confession. She did it to shield me. You need it. Yes. I killed her. Come again? Please. I killed her, Waring. I was out of my mind about her. You know, she wasn't particularly beautiful or smart and she drank like a fish. But when, When I got near, I, I, I just couldn't think straight. And all the while she was just using me. How? She got me to steal from my father in law. He caught me. Is that how Victor was shot? Yes. I must have been crazy. Then when I went over to see Rita, her husband was there and. Can't you see what happened? Look at my face. Yes, I've been admiring it since I walked in. Go on, there's nothing more to tell. When I came to, Jordan was gone. Apparently he hadn't searched me because I still had the gun I used on my father in law. And you used it on Rita? Yes. Isn't it funny how you can love somebody one minute and hate them the next? It's the funniest thing in the world. Janet is worth a million of her. And I was so stupid. I was ready to give her up. Look what she's trying to do for me now. Yeah, sure. You still got the gun? Yes. Yeah, well, I think this ought to do it. All right, Ernie, let's go. Oh no. Don't tell me you're back again. All right, Sergeant, I won't tell you. You know him? Yeah, sure. How are you, Mr. Moore? Fine. Well, what's on your collective minds? Break it to him gently, Ernie. My wife didn't kill Rita, Sergeant. I know it was her father. We've been all through that. No, you're wrong. I killed her. You what? Look, Mike, is this another one of your gags? Don't talk like a chump. Show him the gun, Ernie. Yeah, what do you know? So this is the murder weapon. He potted Victor with it too. Pontier doesn't seem to have been fired lately. Well, he explained that to me. He cleaned it before he put it away. Well, there's one thing I'd like Mr. Moore to explain. This is a.32 Colt automatic. So Rita was killed with a German Luger. She what? You heard me. But just so it shouldn't be a total waste, here's the gun back. Maybe you'd like to use it on yourself. All right, take it easy. I'm coming. Well, Will you look who's here? I guess you remember me, Jordan. Sure. It's Moore, isn't it? Ernie Moore. Yeah. Well, what's on your mind? Your wife's murder. Yeah, I've been thinking about it, too. I don't know how I'm going to get along with that. Radiant. The old homestead won't seem the same without all those empty bottles. Police claim my wife killed her. Yeah, I heard it on the radio. I understand she made a confession. She didn't do it, Jordan. She confessed to protect me. That was real nice of her, wasn't it? But that's a woman for you. Now you even take Rita. You tried that, didn't you? You'd be surprised how she'd knock herself out for me now. Some people might think I was just a big overgrown slob. But to Rita, I was the greatest thing since the martini. You killed him now. You don't know what you're saying, Ernie. Yes, I do. You're going with me to see Mike Waring. Why would I want to see him? Tell him the whole story. Obviously, you're a boy who doesn't learn from experience. You think so? Well, you forgot the lesson I taught you. It's lucky for you that I'm a patient man, so I don't mind teaching you again. Come here any time to call the class to order. Taxi. Taxi. I give you a list, fella. Oh, I wouldn't want to trouble you. No trouble at all, Mr. Waring. You seem to know me well. The Falcon's a famous New York landmark, like the public library. That's pretty good. I wish I come back here. Wouldn't be a gun in your pocket. Wouldn't it? I guess it would. Get in. Want me to sit on your friend's lap? Move over, Al. Any more excuses? Wish I could think of a couple. Maybe you do better inside. All right, Al. Find us some nice quiet spot where we can talk. My, my. No hydramatic. Oh, Al isn't fussy when he steals a car. Oh, you're Leo Jordan, aren't you? Who told you that? Recognized it from your description. Awfully sorry to hear about your wife. Thanks. Got any ideas who killed Ernie? No, but I understand you have. Where do you understand that from? Ernie Moore. Ernie says you're fixing to pin the rap on me. Well, I hadn't considered it before, but now that you have, I think it's a great idea. So you were going to frame me? I don't think you need one, Leo. I'm sure a little investigation will cover Enough. Uncover enough evidence to say send you to the chair. And if you don't turn up anything, you'll manufacture it. You really know me, don't you? I know plenty like you. Let me give you a little tip. Wearing keep out of my hair. And if I don't? Then you gotta expect me to get into yours. Well, it looks like Mike got into a little trouble that time. But I suppose the life of a detective is no picnic. Me, I prefer my job because I like picnics. I like them especially when we bring along a salad that's topped with delicious Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip has a flavor so pleasing Miracle Whip tastes so lively, so teasing Miracle Whip only one of its kind Miracle Whip best salad dressing you'll find Miracle Whip is the only one of its kind because it's different A different type of salad dress made from a secret craft recipe Miracle Whip combines the best qualities of boiled dressing and old fashioned mayonnaise so it's truly distinctive and delicious with a flavor millions of folks call just 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, now back to the adventures of the Falcon. Two hours have passed since Mike Waring learned that you can increase your height by either wearing elevator shoes or getting a wrap on the noggin. Now, as Mike comes to. Oh, this is a peachy one, Mike. You ought to get a big rise out of this one. Oh, where am I? Near the Bronx Zoo. Somebody must have dropped you off head first. And when I heard about it, naturally I dashed down. Sure. Thanks. Oh, don't thank me, Mike. This sort of thing doesn't happen often enough to suit me. Well, who did it this time? Leo Jordan. Rita's husband? Yes. Why? He thought I was trying to frame him for a murder. Were you? Yeah, sure. That's the way I operate. Look, Janet didn't kill Rita Jordan. Oh, don't tell me you got another confession. I couldn't stand that. Well, Mrs. Moore is innocent. Well, then who done it? I don't know. Let's get all our suspects together and we'll play blind man's buff. And if that doesn't work, well, I can always take Jordan's idea and frame somebody. Oh, hand me my head and let's go. Ernie. Hello, Janet. Oh, Ernie, what have they done to you? Nothing, honey. Oh, you poor darling. Janet, come here. You're to have nothing to do with him. Oh, Papa, please. Oh, he's right, baby. I've given you enough Trouble already? Oh, that doesn't matter, Janet. Leave her alone, Victor. This is a very touching keep out of this, Jordan. I wish I could, but a fellow named Waring insisted on my being here. Someone mention my name? Yeah. Oh, hello, Leon. Been here long? Too long. Good. All right, Victor. Sorry we had to do this. Oh, well, that's perfectly all right. Well, I knew you'd take it like the grand trooper you are. Well, Mrs. Moore and gentlemen, not to keep you in suspense, we are gathered here tonight to determine who killed Rita Jordan. Now, this case was complicated by one thing. We had three confessions, which is too over par. So obviously someone was lying. Well, it wasn't mean. If you try framing. We don't have to do that. Jordan, you're no problem at all. You're the only one in our little cast who didn't confess. So? So obviously you didn't kill Rita. Now, look wary. No, I'm sure of it, Ernie. He has no motive. If he wanted to get rid of his wife, all he had to do was walk off. Well, Janet didn't kill her. Yes, I did. I don't believe it. You shouldn't. Especially when you know the truth. Are you insinuating. Yes, I am. You killed Rita. Now, listen, you. Now, don't complain, Ernie. I especially staged this little scene down here in jail so you wouldn't have to do any more traveling. I'll try and show a little appreciation. Hey, Mike. Yeah? There's something I wanted to ask you. Fire away, sergeant. Say that sometime when I got my service revolver handy. What's bothering you, little man? Well, I can see why Ernie killed Rita. Can you? Yeah, yeah, like he said. He hated it. Like he said. But what gets me is why he confessed. Well, that was a smart move, Sergeant. Ernie knew sooner or later we'd get around to him. So he beat us to the punch and offered himself as a sacrifice. But you notice he gave himself an out. Oh, you mean the business of the gun? Yeah. He disposed of the Luger he used on Rita and got the Colt automatic. He knew the minute you saw it, you'd be positive he was innocent. Well, I was. Yeah, sure. And once you gave him a clean bill of health, you would probably never bother him again. You'd think here was a man who was just trying to protect his wife. But you saw through his dark, nefarious plot. Well, isn't that what you'd expected? Me? Oh, of course, of course. After all, aren't you the one and only falcon? But here's something you wouldn't expect. Of me. What's that, sergeant? We've been coming to Ed's Luncheonette every week for years, and always you grab the checks. But tonight, Tonight's different. Tonight I'm gonna pay my own. June is an important month in the dairy industry. Not only is it dairy month when we salute all the men and women who work to supply America with the finest dairy products in the world, but this June also marks the 100th birthday of the cheese industry.
