- [01:42]
Jeff Regan
Well, this is the way it started. Melody called about 6 o' clock that night. She gave me the name of a restaurant out on the Strip and said that lion was waiting for me. I drove out there and found him squatting at one of the corner tables. He had a big white napkin tucked under all of his chins and he was working on a plate of Crab Louis and a bottle of beer. A tall, peroxide blond and slacks and dark glasses was sitting across from him watching him eat. And a couple of bald headed waiters were just sort of standing around looking at the ceiling. Well, well, Regan. I see you got my message. Right on time. Sit down, sit down. I want you to meet Ms. What did you say your name was, young lady?
- [02:25]
Madge
Madge will do.
- [02:26]
Jeff Regan
Just plain Madge, fatso. Regan, this is Madge. I hate gum shoes. They all stink. Okay, where'd you find her, Madge? Oh, Madge works for Mr. Daly, Mr. Pete Daly. He's a new client of ours. Isn't that right, Madge? Oh, gumshoes are nosy. That's why I don't like them. Madge is going to drive you out to Mr. Daly's residence. Re who's Daily? Very nice chap. Very nice chap. I spoke with him on the phone. What's the job? Well, it's rather delicate matter and I think Mr. Daly himself can explain it better than I.
- [03:03]
Madge
Come on, all this gas ain't getting us nowhere.
- [03:05]
Jeff Regan
The boss is waiting. Gums yous talk too much. Yes, Ricky, yes. I told Mr. Daly you'd be there by 7 o'.
- [03:11]
Madge
Clock.
- [03:12]
Jeff Regan
You just run along with Madge here and see what it's all about. Fantastic. Nice to have met you, man.
- [03:18]
Madge
That dry up Santo.
- [03:24]
Jeff Regan
Call me Regan. Call me if you're running any trouble. Just plain Madge, who was carrying a.25 automatic in her purse when we got into a Cadillac. We went out the pass, turned off a hill and back of Burbank. Daly's residence was at the end of a private road. A nice old southern style place with two or three private patrolmen guarding the entrance. They all needed shave. They kind of nodded when we got out of the car and went up to the front door. Naturally there was a peep shutter. There was real southern. Yeah, Me. Felix, this is the private keeper the boss wants to see. Okay, me.
- [04:09]
Madge
Come on this way.
- [04:14]
Jeff Regan
Who is this?
- [04:15]
Madge
Mads, I got your peeper.
- [04:19]
Jeff Regan
Here he is, Pete, Flat feet and all. His name's Regan. Okay, Madge, that's all. Sit down, Reagan, sit down. Don't mind Mads, he's kind of antisocial. Nice place you got. How's the gross? I do all right. Two crap tables, two faro games, a little roulette in the living room. But I have to be careful. I noticed that driving up. There's lots of money thrown around here every night. Somebody might get some ideas. You know how it is. What about the law? Law? No trouble with them. I just don't let them know I'm in operation. In my business I haven't much use for private detectives. I don't generally like them, neither does Madge. But I happen to need one right now. I want you to do a little job for me. You seem to have plenty of help around here. Wasn't that Felix Frazier at the door there? Last time I saw him he was shadowing a banker up in Sacramento. Yes, that was Felix all right, but it's a little different. Never seen this before. No? Well, it's a little bit of necklace called the Diamond Quartet. Worth quite a chunk of cash. These four diamonds are good stuff. So, dame named Annabella Callender Left it here a week ago. She was in kind of deep at the roulette table and was wearing this. She left it for security. How much did she lose? About five GS, I guess. Kind of screwy little dame. She's a widow with a lot of money and a boyfriend named Teddy Silco. He paints or something. They come here and she loses steady every time. Well, she sent me a check today for the full amount of what she lost. Yeah, And I want you to take this thing back to her tonight. That it? That's it. I got my dough, she gets her little diamond necklace back. Just business. Sounds simple. It's simple. You're a licensed investigator, bonded and insured. Don't want any fuss about this. You just take it back. Very simple. Okay? Now, you told me how simple it all is. Suppose you give me the hook. Did her check bounce? You want a drink? There wasn't in the check. I thought it'd be something like that. Yeah, she called me a couple hours ago. Said if I didn't have this thing back by tonight, she'd call load of cops and come out and get it. Not such a dumb name as that. As you're telling me, if she comes here with cops, I'm closed for the season and this dump cost me a pile of dough. Felix was running the roulette table that night. I didn't know he'd taken this as security until we counted up. I should have pushed his mushroom or something, letting a dame like that make a set out. Maybe he'll do better next time. Ain't gonna be no next time, Reagan. Here's her address. Here's the ice. Just take it to her and I'll chalk it up to experience. You better get yourself a new boy at that table. Yes, you're telling me. You're telling me. Well, I took a taxi over to the restaurant in Hollywood, picked up my Buick and drove to an apartment house near Pico and Beverly Drive. Couple of men in a little gray coupe were sitting in front of the building smoking cigarettes and pulling on their hat brims. I figured Daily was making sure I got the right address. Upstairs on the fifth floor, I leaned into the buzzer and waited to see what Mrs. Annabella Calendar looked like.
- [07:20]
Madge
Oh, Teddy, I thought you'd never get here. The performance begins at 8:15 and you know the track. Oh, you Hunter.
- [07:28]
Jeff Regan
You Annabella Callender?
- [07:29]
Madge
Of course. Who are you?
- [07:31]
Jeff Regan
My Name's Regan.
- [07:32]
Madge
Oh, Ms. Regan. Well, I'm only waiting for Ted to get here so we can make first Curtain to the Biltmore. We're seeing Carousel and we're going to be late if he doesn't get here. You can understand that.
- [07:41]
Jeff Regan
Yeah, it figures.
- [07:42]
Madge
And I'm already and he hasn't shown up. Well, good night.
- [07:54]
Jeff Regan
Yeah. Her white ermine cape and the black strapless thing needed a touch, but she had it. That necklace I had in my pocket, or a very good copy, was hanging around her neck and it looked like four Klig lights at a Hollywood premiere.
- [08:13]
Madge
Lay off.
- [08:13]
Jeff Regan
Lay off. You bust the door. Lay off. What's the idea? You want to bust down the door? You drunk or something? I've been pounding on this door for five minutes. Well, that's too bad. Can't you read the signs? This building's closed. The scram, drift, push off, blow. You got a jeweler in this building named Tartaglia? Yeah, we got a jeweler named Tartaglia. Only don't want to see nobody because it's 9 o' clock at night. The joints closed and he ain't here. All right, slow down. He lives someplace, don't he? Sure, there's a lot of houses that way. Why don't you try knocking on doors? There wasn't any residents listed in the phone book. I thought maybe if I came down here to his office, you could tell me where I might see him. I ain't gonna tell you nothing. Look, I'm a private investor here. I gotta see him tonight. Oh, how's little old expense account pilgrim? That'll do. Let me see Pam. The name's Freddie Leach. Your boy's a fat old pile of blubber with a lot of talk in this Note. White Hotel, 208. Three blocks straight ahead. Thanks, Freddy. Anytime, pal. Brother Sawbuck. I'll tell you where his girlfriend lives. Well, come in, Mr. Regan. Come in, come in. You find me a bit indisposed at this hour. I was preparing to retire. But you said it was a matter of jewelry. Therefore, Bert Tartaglia is at your service. Now then, sir, what is so urgent? I came to see you about a diamond necklace. I found your name stamped on the inside. House of Tartaglia most respected name. In diamonds, as in all the Labradoria most respected. I'm the last of four sons all of. Continue, Mr. Regan. Take a look at this. And how do you come into possession of the Diamond Quartet, sir? A man named Daly, who runs a gambling club, hired me to take it back to a lady named Callender. Gambling house. And how did Mr. Daly acquire it? She lost it at the roulette table. She left it till she could raise the cash. Deplorable. Deplorable conduct on her part. Annabella Callender. A very indiscreet young lady. To be sure. To be sure. Lovely body propelled by a ridiculous man. I tried to take it back to her tonight. It's Beautiful, isn't it? Mr. Regan? I want to know if it's real or not real. Of course it's real. You sure? Mr. Regan, do you doubt my ability as a gemologist? Once in a lifetime, sir. Only once in a lifetime does an artisan have the opportunity to create the perfect necklace. How much will it pull? Priceless. In the amount of work, roughly $65,000. See here. And with the light, see how carefully each stone is mounted without reservation. I pronounce the Diamond Quartet an incomparable masterpiece. Well, I saw one just like it tonight. Eh, I didn't quite follow you, sir. No one could create another Diamond Quartet except Bertra. Well, and somebody made up a pretty good imitation. The finest workman, at best, would create only a crude resemblance. This kind of work demands an artist, Mr. Regan. An artist. But it could get by. To the unpracticed art, yes. To the layman, perhaps, yes. That's all I wanted to know. Lady Danangus Herber, eh? What was that? Latin? A snake in the grass, eh? Maybe. Your expression tells me you are concerned for the safety of this piece. I have a safe here in my room, if you care. It'll be all right. Well, then you leave. Satisfied, I trust. Yes, thanks. Think nothing of it, Mr. Egan. Think nothing of it. Just remember the house of Tartaglia when you won't find yours. Good evening, sir. In the lobby I got two 3 cent stamps from the clerk. He watched me put the Diamond Quartet in an envelope, address it to myself and mail it right there. He blinked a couple of times, but I didn't tell him about my two pals parked across the street in the little gray coupe. They were sitting there, still sucking on cigarettes and pulling on their Abrams. When I walked outside, they got out of the coop, came over to where I was lighting a cigarette. The tall one tapped me on the shoulder. Here's the paper, Georgie. Wanna ask him for a match? Georgie's near sighted. That's too bad. That's him, Daddy. Got a match peeper? Georgie ass. If you got a match peeper. He's a dummy. Georgie. Don't talk. Got a match peeper? What'd I tell you? He's a dummy. He don't look like no dummy. Oh, He's a dummy, all right. Ain't you, peeper? See, he's a dummy, Georgie. I told him about you being near sight and he said it was too bad. Didn't you, people? He still don't talk. Go on, people, tell Georgie how sorry you are about him being nearsighted. I told you he was a. I told you he was a dummy, Georgie. Our private eyes like you. Georgie asked you a question. He wants to know if all private eyes is like you. Danny Boy says you're a dummy. You're a dummy. Judge. He asked you another question. He wants to know if you're a dummy. See? No answer. I don't like dummies. We asked three questions already and he ain't said nothing. That makes him a dummy. Maybe we'd find something if we went through the dummy's pockets. Yeah, even the dummy's got pockets. Ain't that right, dummy? Hold up, Georgie. Hey, move. Just like a dummy. What do you want? Hey, Doc. Yeah, yeah. Make him talk again, Georgie. Make him talk bigger, Georgie. Doc's real nice, but he don't say much. Maybe he's tough, Georgie. He might think he's tough, but then again, you see, he ain't so tough. Now it's my turn. Hey, you don't talk no more, Danny. This peeper ain't no pretty picture, Georgie. Why you want to hold him up?

You are listening to the story of the Diamond Quartet, tonight's adventure with Jeff Regan, investigator. 29,000 nurses are needed now to join the new Army Nurse Corps Officers Reserve. For the first time in history, qualified nurses are given the opportunity of receiving a commission in the regular Army Reserve. These nurses will remain on inactive status, ready to serve their country in the event of an emergency. 4,000 of them, if they wish, may choose active duty. Inactive reserve status will not interfere with the nurse's civilian life, but the educational opportunities offered her by the Army Medical Department will be of a great advantage to her in her work. So don't wait. If you're a registered graduate nurse between the ages of 21 and 45, drop a card now for complete information to the adjutant general, Washington, D.C. and now back to the story of the Diamond Quartet and Jeff Regan, Investigator.
- [15:30]
Jeff Regan
Reagan? Reagan, can you hear me? Regan? Nurse. You're sure he's coming, too?
- [15:34]
Madge
He had quite a beating, Mr. Lyon.
- [15:36]
Jeff Regan
And he's coming around. Reagan. Reagan. Reagan. Reagan, can you hear me? Can you hear me, Regan? Can you hear me? I think he's with us now. It's me, Regan. What happened to you? Why didn't you call, Regan? Do you understand me? What's this? That's your head. It isn't very pretty, let me tell you that.
- [16:01]
Madge
I'll be at my desk.
- [16:03]
Jeff Regan
All right. Come on, give it to me. What happened? Hour ago, the Receiving Hospital telephones. Means they picked you up in some gutter. I come down to see what's what, you lay there and ask me, what's this? It was a wrong job. Another punk client. As long as they've got the dough, we love them all. Who are you fighting with? Couple of boys named Danny and Georgie. Couple of boys named Danny and Georgie. Would you mind telling me just where you've been while you should have been doing what you were hired to do? I was out with Danny and Georgie. Sure, you were out with Danny and Georgie, but what did you do before that? And what did you do with the necklace? That diamond quartet or whatever it is? I mailed it. You mailed it? You were hired to deliver that thing personally and you mail it. Where's my clothes, Regan, I'll never understand you. I'll never understand you or the way you do things. I send you out on a simple little job. All you have to do is take a necklace back and what do you do? You wind up bleeding all over the city street. Here's your pants. What time you got? 3 o' clock in the morning. It's always 3 o' clock in the morning when somebody telephones me that you're in trouble somewhere. Well, why don't you go home and go back to bed? I haven't been to bed. I haven't had one wink of sleep tonight. You know why? Because on top of all my other troubles, some dame who sounds like she has a suit full of hoops has been calling my place every half hour asking for you. My place? Why don't you tell her to call my place? I did tell her to call your place. I told her a couple of hundred times to call your place. Then I told her to shut up. Coat. Here. You look terrible. Terrible. She give you a name? Hannah. Bella something or other? I don't know. What I want to know is. Hey, where you going? Who's going to pay this hospital bill?
- [17:48]
Madge
What are you. Where you going?
- [17:57]
Jeff Regan
Well, the cab driver circled twice before he picked me up. But he got me out to her place in 20 minutes. When I got upstairs, her door was halfway open and the light from the hallway kind of seeped in. She was sitting in a big chair right by the door. I don't know why, but she Was holding the phone on her lap. Just sitting there, looking at nothing.
- [18:19]
Madge
Oh, Mr. Weir. It's you. You came back.
- [18:24]
Jeff Regan
Yeah. I don't think you're gonna need this.
- [18:28]
Madge
Oh, well, then, Mr. Riggins. Well, then, I suppose you've met some people tonight who know a great deal about me.
- [18:38]
Jeff Regan
Some. A gambler, a jeweler.
- [18:42]
Madge
And of course, they told you how to carry on with money and all that. Everyone seems to know that.
- [18:46]
Jeff Regan
Yeah, Daley told me.
- [18:50]
Madge
Do you know about Charles? Charles and I had so many things together, and it was so much fun being alive with him. You like to have fun, Mr. Regan? I do think he enjoyed being alive with me. I mean. I cried when Charles was killed. I really did. I cried. I didn't know what to do. I cried.
- [19:12]
Jeff Regan
How long ago was that?
- [19:14]
Madge
Charles was killed three years ago. But now I have Teddy. He's really a dear. You should meet him. We should all have a drink together or something. Teddy's a fine artist. Very fine artist. I think you'll be very prominent someday. I do. I really do think Teddy will be very prom. Of course, it wouldn't make any difference now. Did they tell you that? I. Did they tell you? Isn't it funny? I can't seem to get my tongue adjusted to my mouth. Does that ever happen to you, mister? Easy?
- [19:57]
Jeff Regan
Sometimes.
- [20:00]
Madge
Daddy asked me to marry him tonight.
- [20:01]
Jeff Regan
He did?
- [20:02]
Madge
Yes. I, I, I, I. I've been very lonely since Charles died. And this is my money that Teddy's interested in. I'm. I'm certain Teddy has some money of his own, Although many people don't know it. What is money, mister? What would you say, Mama? Money? Yes. I go into that business about my tongue. You think I should see a correctionist?
- [20:28]
Jeff Regan
Why did you call me tonight?
- [20:31]
Madge
You're the only detective I know, and I really don't know you. It's just that Mr. Daly said you were a detective.
- [20:37]
Jeff Regan
Why did you want to see me?
- [20:40]
Madge
I really can't understand. Money. I know it must sound strange to you. Some people live for it, and some people die for it. And some people, I mean.
- [20:55]
Jeff Regan
What's wrong? What is it? Come on.
- [20:59]
Madge
They do look so funny. So very funny. I seen him count money. Oh, so much money. And I really believe that's all I live for. The handling crescent.
- [21:18]
Jeff Regan
Come on, tell me what's wrong. What is it?
- [21:20]
Madge
What is it?
- [21:28]
Jeff Regan
She was pointing to a black spot across the room. I found the light switch and turned it on. Oh, yeah, they looked funny, all right. It was Daley and his dumb roulette table. Man, Felix. And both of them were as dead as you can get all night. I knew you'd telephone and say you'd marry me. Yeah? Your name's Silco? Oh, yes, I was expecting. My name's Regan. I'm a private investigator. I'm calling from her apartment. Annabella's. Now, listen, there's been a couple of murders here. What? She's had quite a joke. She's gonna need you and all the help she can get. I called Homicide and, well, it might be kind of rough for her. I'll bring a doctor and a lawyer. I've got a good one. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Thank you. Well, he showed up about the same time Windetti and the Homicide boys got there. By that time she couldn't even talk and they had to put her to sleep. I told Windetti what I knew about it. He said we'd get it straightened around as soon as she had something to say. It was about 8 o' clock in the morning when I got home. I didn't expect my boy to show up so soon. He was already there. Ah, Reagan. I've been expecting you. Come in. Sir, come in. I've been amusing myself with your chessboard. So we meet again. Sit down, sit down. You made rather a hectic night. I'll wager your boys were pretty rough. Georgie and Danny. Two men of another world, Regan. Not our world. Allow me to apologize for their actions. And so unnecessary too. I underestimated you, Regan. Such an ingenious method of protecting the diamond quartet. Why, sir? By the simple expedient of placing a 3 cent stamp on an envelope, mailing it to you yourself, you hired as guardians the entire United States Postal service. Not to mention the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. You want one of these? No, thank you, Regan. Much too early in the day, but go ahead. You give me cause to admire you again, sir. I am one of those faint hearted persons who cannot abide liquor until 5 o' clock in the afternoon. All right, what happens now? By gad, I Admire your directness, Mr. Regan. When I met you last night, I promised myself you'd give me trouble. And you have. Who's in on it? Search Directness. In answer, sir, that is a matter to be explained. Double cross. If you can bear my vanity, I have invented a new word. Triple cross. It does have a ring to it, doesn't it? Sounds familiar. My God, sir, I like you daily in on this. Daily? No, no, no, of course not A mere instigator, but when Madge explained to Me that he was returning the diamond quartet. I first conceived the plan. Just plain Madge. She and her friends have been very valuable to me. They knocked off Daley and Felix and planted him in the girl's apartment. Right. With two cadavers in her living room. Mrs. Callender was very unlikely to discuss missing jewelry with the police. Then it was a phony she was wearing and she didn't even know it. Huh. And it caused all of this? If you had merely returned it, it would have been simple to remove it from her. But then. And you just sit here and wait for the mail. We wait for the mail, Mr. Regan. What about your playmates? You do act your role, don't you? And I like you for it. Mr. Regan. I wish you and I could have worked out something together, an unbeatable team. In answer, sir, I'm afraid I shall be sought for murder. The two this night, Danny and Georgie and Madge. Does that name bother you as much as it bothers me? Give me a woman with a name like Celeste or Josephine or Roxanne. No, sir. Are proper names for the creatures. But Mad, where are the police gonna find all these bodies? In my hotel room, which I departed hastily. I know a man down at Central Homicide named Windetti. Do you? Mm. He's the best cop I've ever seen. You'll never get away with it. Allow me to correct you, sir. I don't intend to get away with it. Observe me. Well, you see before you a man advanced in years, attached to a destitute and bankrupt jewelry firm, with nothing more to look forward to than a grim few years. And finally the end. Now an opportunity to live like a king. And by God, sir, I've taken it. They'll pick you up before you can pack a bag. I'll risk that. I shall turn the Diamond Quartet into cash. And with a well laden purse, I shall be satisfied to elude the police over half the world. Oh, yes, they'll get me in two years, three years. Perhaps. By that time I shall have spent the money. And what more could a man ask than a perfect fulfilment of all his wishes? I ask you, sir, as one gentleman to another, what more could a man ask? You have come a day and I have a gun. Answer it. Tell him to go away. I'll be right beside you. All right, open it.
- [26:54]
Madge
One side, Shamas. I got a gun. Thought I'd find you here, blubber boy. They didn't do such a good job on me.
- [27:02]
Jeff Regan
Caution, my dear. I have a gun too.
- [27:03]
Madge
Lives Long enough to let you have it. Get out of my way, people.
- [27:15]
Jeff Regan
Mr. Rigging. Mr. Regan, sir. I believe I've been shot. An immediate assistant. I can't even hold my feet, sir. Dancing hold my feet. The module is nil missi bonum, Mr. Egan. Or if your second year Latin escapes. You speak well of the dead. It was an awkward plan. The best, wasn't. It was a lousy idea. Well, there wasn't anybody left for when Daddy to arrest. So we sat around and looked at each other. When Daddy agreed that Mads double crossed daily, Tartaglia double crossed Madge and her boys. Yeah, triple cross. Well, the lion had something on his mind. He wanted to know was I satisfied with what I got out of this case. I didn't answer him. I need the job.

Jeff Regan
Well, this is the way it started. It was a hot Tuesday afternoon. About 4 o'. Clock. Melody was sitting at her typewriter watching a tired looking fly crawl across the ceiling. She didn't say a word, just waved an arm in the direction of his door. Certainly we will, Mr. Brown. Dick. Absolutely, certainly. Yes, of course. Come, Henry. Yes, yes, all right, Mr. Brandy. I should be there in an hour. All right, half an hour. Goodbye, Regan. You're it. I'm what? Here's his address. Name's Elmer Brown at the real estate office in Aladena. Check in by a special messenger. Half an hour ago. It was late, but the bank tells me it's good. So you're it. You know, that's what I like. Efficiency. It's too hot to be funny. I want you to hop out there and see what he's excited about. Didn't he tell you? Yeah, he's one of those nasty old coots. He didn't make much sense on the phone. Something about someone coming back. Besides, his teeth were slipping around. Yeah. Anyhow, it's a job. Business has been terrible lately. You know. I still want my expenses on that Tartaglia thing. Have you ever come up short with me? Yes, I have. You get all that's coming to you. When? As soon as Melody gets a bill from that hospital. Because that's coming out of your check. Now beat it out there and find out what this guy wants. And call me if you're running in any trouble. Brondyke Manor was a brown white cottage on the edge of 10 acres of dusty land in back of Foothill Drive. There was a big sign right in front of it telling you how easy it is to own your own land and have your own home. On Brondyke Estates. Well, I parked a couple, we crossed the highway, and it was just about then that a big, heavy set man wearing a dirty white Panama hat and a suit that didn't fit him around his stomach crawled out of a 36 Ford sedan, jammed a cigar in his mouth and came over to my car. He had hair in his ears. Hot afternoon, ain't it? Yes, sir. Sure is hot. Sure is a hot afternoon. Yeah, it is if you spend it sitting in a car pulling on a bottle. Smell it, huh? Mile away. Just trying to beat the heat. Okay, you've been parked in a car, beating the heat. Yeah, you win. Ain't much good trying to look like a guy who wants to buy a house. Yeah? Who do you look like? Yeah, it's a little greasy, but it's me, Marty Anderson, Confidential Investigation. Guess I ought to have new ones printed up, huh? All right, you're a sleuth. How's business, Marty? Punk. Too bad. You going in to see old man Brondyke? Your nose is getting sunburned, Marty. I was just gonna go and see myself. When I spot you pull up. Recognized you from pictures in the paper last week on that Taglia thing. I figured maybe you and me ought to talk. Yeah, you make it tough for a guy, Reagan. We're in the same racket. What you gonna see him about? You said you were going in to see him. Well, I kind of changed my mind when I seen you. This is where I came in. Ah, you're a tough guy, Regan. You're a real tough guy, and a lot of people know it. But Marty Anderson's betting you're a dumb guy, too. A real dumb guy. See you around. I'm an old. Huh? A fat old slob who couldn't get a trick as a house peep or a tail in a punk, Is that it? When you don't get too close. That's a real bad label you got a hold of. Okay, Reagan, okay. You're young and tough, but you just keep my card. Wise guy. You'll want to see me. You'll want to see me before it's all tied up. Mr. Brondyke, please. Elmer Brondyke. He's expecting me.
- [35:50]
Madge
Your name, please?
- [35:51]
Jeff Regan
Regan.
- [35:51]
Madge
Regan. Reg.
- [35:52]
Jeff Regan
No, no, no. You don't have to write it down, lady.
- [35:54]
Madge
And your business private. I'm afraid I'll have to know a.
- [35:56]
Jeff Regan
Little more than that, Mr. Regan. Is it always this hot in here?
- [36:00]
Madge
Yes, and I'm sick and tired.
- [36:01]
Jeff Regan
Look, just flip your switch and tell him I'm here. Will you? He sent for me.
- [36:05]
Madge
Wait a minute, please.
- [36:07]
Jeff Regan
Well, what is it, Connie?
- [36:08]
Madge
There's a Mr. Regan here. Daddy says he's expected. I don't find him listed on your appointment.
- [36:12]
Jeff Regan
Don't be an idiot. Send him in. Send him in.
- [36:15]
Madge
Let me go in now, Mr. Regan.
- [36:16]
Jeff Regan
Yeah. Thanks. Is he always like that? Most of the time.
- [36:19]
Madge
Other times he's bad.
- [36:20]
Jeff Regan
High blood pressure.
- [36:21]
Madge
He's got it high, low and in between.
- [36:23]
Jeff Regan
I hate him. A winner, huh? I'm sorry, Connie. That is your name, isn't it?
- [36:27]
Madge
Go on in before I quit.
- [36:31]
Jeff Regan
Don't just stand there. Come on in and shut the door. What took you so long? Now you're Jeff Regan, huh? You don't look much like a private detective to me. Sit down where I put that thing. Over there by the ink well. What? Oh. Well, now then, Regan, about this Collier. He's a no good tramp. You understand that? No good tramp. I'll see that he goes right back up to Sam Quinton if I have to. I'm a dangerous man to play games with. He found that out once. And if he keeps up this business, he's going to find it out again. All right, you're dangerous. He's a no good trap. Sam Quinton. Hey, are you mocking me? No, I'm not. I'm just wondering what you're talking about. I just told you everything. You got ears. Can't you hear? I don't hear anything but a lot of blubbering, and that doesn't make any sense. Told me all about your high blood pressure. You better watch that. She did, did she? Well, Connie talks too much. That's what's the matter with her. She talks to me. Oh, sure, and you'd fire her, only she's your daughter and you'd have to pay somebody else three times. But you pay her to take everything she has to take. Get out of here. Get out of my office.
- [37:28]
Madge
Get out.
- [37:29]
Jeff Regan
Get out. Never mind. Sit down. Just hot heat always gets me. Yeah, me too. Now, do you want to tell me about it? He's an ungrateful scoundrel. Who? Toby Collier. Who else? I took that boy in as my junior partner in Brown Dyke Estates when he was nothing more than a car washer in a filling station. And how does he repay me? Hey, hey, hey. You're letting the heat body again. It isn't the heat, Regan, I'll tell you that. Those phone calls. Phone calls telling me to beware and watch out. A lot of other nonsense. Mm. Now we're getting close. They let him out of San Quentin last week. You'd think he'd go somewhere where people didn't know him and wash cars again or something. But no, he has to start telephoning my office. And telling me he's back and that he's going to get me. What was he doing in San Quentin? Two to ten on an embezzlement count. How long ago was that? Three years ago. I guess he got time off or something. Why is he sore at you? I had to testify against him. It was my firm he was chiseling. So now he's out of the clink and he's phoning you and trying to throw a scare on you, huh? He may be out, but he isn't scaring me or anybody else, I'll tell you that. Yeah, I want you to find him, wherever he is. Bring him here. All right, then I want to tell him like I'm telling you. If he keeps bothering me with those phone calls. If he persists in threatening me. Then I'll haul out some stuff I have in my safety deposit box. And send him back up there on a swindling wrap just to get him out of my hair. You withheld evidence at that trial? I withheld nothing. Just be a new charge and I could make it stick if I wanted to. All right, tell me the rest of it. What do you mean, tell you the rest of it? No more to tell the punk. He's gotta get in trouble. Where'd Marty Anderson figure? What? Anderson, Marty. Confidential investigations? Big dirty looking ape who shaves every other day? No, that rump. How do you know about him? Tried to shake me down outside your office. He would. Yeah, he's just a second rate gum healer. I called in three years ago when I thought Collier might be fixing my books. I think it's the only job he ever had. He's been pestering me ever since. Did he testify against Collier? Of course he testified against Collier. That was part of his job. Anything else you want to know? Yes, there is. Why did you call International instead of the police? You're pretty nosy, aren't you? I'm a lot of things. Now, come on. Why? Because every time you call a cop around this town. There's always some snoopy reporter hanging around the sergeant's desk. I got a half a million dollars tied up in this here gravel pit. I don't want anybody who's gonna buy into it. Thinking that I might get knocked over by some loony. That's why I want it all quiet. That satisfy you? Oh, it'll do for now. You'll probably come up with something better later on. All right. Where's Collier? If I knew, I wouldn't have called you in. You have a family here? Home, a wife, something? He was all alone. He had a mother somewhere, I guess. Pictures? Yeah. Okay, I'll keep these, and we're gonna hear from you. When I find something, you bring him to me. I'll ask him to come. He doesn't have to. You just spring that swindling wrap on him. He'll come. Yeah, and if it's no good, he can turn right around and slap a slander suit right in your face. And I wouldn't blame him. Don't you forget you're working for me here, man. I won't. Regan. You. You've got a nasty way of talking people. Don't talk to me like that. Yeah, well, this is a brand new crowd of people. Frosty top. And we talk just like we feel down at the City Hall. They didn't have anything on Toby Collier except that he'd been released from San Quentin August 10th. From there, I went to the parole board office, but it was closed by that time. So I did the next best thing, and I sent a wire to the officer in charge of parole prisoners, San Quentin, asking for Collier's address. Then I dropped into the Times office and I looked up the story of the trial. It was a page three item for two days. A second section filler for a week after that. Nothing. There were no pictures. But it did give the name of Collier's lawyer, a man named Alan Nordale. The phone book gave him an address over on Kingsley. Now, that's you, Millie. Hold on just a minute. I was just trying to get my dinner over before you. Who are you? Mr. Nordale? Mm. My name is Regan. I'm a private investigator. I'm trying to locate a former client of yours, a man named Toby Collier. Come in, Come in, come in. I was expecting Millie, but come in. Thank you. I always fix my own dinner. Poached egg and half and half. I. I have ulcers. Name's Reagan. Yeah. You want an egg? No, thanks. You mind if I finish? No, no, go ahead. Thank you. What's. What would Toby Caillou. Well, I'm just trying to locate him, that's all. I found out that you were his lawyer. He was released from San Quentin 10 days ago. You sure you won't have an egg? You get used to him after a while. Who you work for? Reagan International Detective bureau line still there? Yeah. Well. So you're the lion's eye, huh? Yeah. Lyons is a bandit. But who's Kate? Elmer Brondyke. And what you want Toby for? Ball I'm out for making threatening phone calls. That all? As far as I know. Toby was a nice kid, but a calendar job. Born with one war going, one depression on deck and a new war starting. Makes a difference. The calendar got him and he wound up in San Quentin. Well, everything was against him at the trial, too. He was pretty mad at old man Brandyke and that private dick and me and everyone else. Before it was all over, I tried to talk to him. From what Brondy tells me, he's still mad. Yeah. I did all I could, but he didn't have a chance. He tried to lift a lousy couple thousand bucks and they caught him. Well, he's out now. Do you handle his parole? Nope. You know who did? Nope. You don't know where he is? In town? No. Brondyke said he had a mother. No. Okay, I'll leave you to Millie. Yeah, if we. We play records. Millie used to be a violinist. Sorry I'm no help. Regan, if you find Toby, I'd like to see him. Why? I don't know. Maybe I just want to see what three years in the pen does to a man like that. Yeah, I'll bet you. Where are you now? Did you find Collier? I'm calling from home. Home? What about Collier? I didn't find him yet. Well, get busy. What are you waiting for? Telegram. Morning. Couple of things. Listen, this old schmo is plenty tough. And if he thought you were local. Look, it's 9 o' clock at night. I'm tired. There's nothing I can do till tomorrow morning. He's sore as a shaved pup about all this and especially about you. Phoned up and said you call him a lot of names. He is a lot of names. I don't care what he is. You don't talk to a client like that. Besides, I haven't cashed his check. Now go on out and find that guy and get this thing settled. Good night, Regan. Besides, I haven't checked. Check. Well, I just set down the phone and started at the door. When it happened. Connie Von Dijk was standing there and she didn't waste any time. She didn't say a word, just pulled the trigger. The first three brought down plaster on the seal. The fourth one ruined the shoulder on my suit. The fifth gave me a haircut. I made a grab four and I Missed. I took the empty gun in my face. Next thing I knew, she pulled off one of those high spiked heels and raised it above my head. I tried to stop her, but my arms wouldn't work. And that's all I remember.

You are listening to the story of the man who came back. Tonight's adventure with Jeff Regan, the investigator. They're still available for qualified nurses? Yes, the Army Nurse Corps Reserve still has commissions available. If you are a graduate registered nurse between the ages of 21 and 45, you may be eligible for a commission in the Army Nurse Corps section of the Regular Officers Reserve. Those who meet the high standards and qualify to serve with this fine organization may elect active or inactive status nurses. Requesting inactive status will continue with civilian nursing but stand ready to serve in time of emergency. In addition, they have the opportunity to take advantage of special training courses. Nurses who request active status enjoy the same privilege of all other officers. Graduate work is provided at the Army's most modern teaching centers, and the nurses obtain educational experience that benefits them in both civilian and military nursing. If you believe you qualify for a commission in the Army Nurse Corps Reserve, apply to the adjutant general, Washington, D.C. and now back to the story of the man who came back. And Jeff Regan, investigator.

Something like that. This is Marty Anderson. You wash your face yet? Still feeling tough, huh? I thought maybe we could talk now. Yeah? What made you think that? You're looking for Collier, ain't you? I know where he is. Yeah? Want to talk? Where? My place, on my card. Half an hour. I'll wait for you, tough guy. Bring some money. This is going to cost you. Everything's going to cost me. Bring some money.

Madge

- [48:24]
Jeff Regan
Save it, lady.
- [48:26]
Madge
You didn't have any right to give them to you. They were mine. Should have done that.
- [48:30]
Jeff Regan
So you come over to get them and you take five shots at me and slam a gun in my face. Why don't you finish the job with your heel?
- [48:35]
Madge
I can do it. I was going through your wallet looking for the pictures. I saw your license. The private detective. You're looking for Toby, aren't you? That's why you had the pictures.
- [48:50]
Jeff Regan
You're looking for Toby Collie or your boyfriend.
- [48:54]
Madge
Yeah. We were gonna get married.
- [48:55]
Jeff Regan
Only he went to the pen. Huh?
- [48:57]

Jeff Regan

Madge
Yeah.

Jeff Regan
So he got in touch with you?
- [49:07]
Madge
Why should he? He thinks I was in on him.
- [49:10]
Jeff Regan
In on what?
- [49:11]
Madge
The whole Daddy rotten thing. Toby was framed. Dad hired that Marty Anderson to help him do it.
- [49:17]
Jeff Regan
How do you know he was framed?
- [49:18]
Madge
I've been working for my dad for five years. I see things.
- [49:21]
Jeff Regan
Yeah, I'll bet you do.
- [49:22]
Madge
That's the truth.
- [49:23]
Jeff Regan
Oh, yeah, Everybody's full of the truth. All the liars are dead.
- [49:27]
Madge
Look at me. Go ahead and look at me, Mr. Regan. I know what you'd called beautiful and even pretty.
- [49:36]
Jeff Regan
I'm tall.
- [49:37]
Madge
Go. Man would ever look at me twice. Dopey looked at me. Did he, love? But what you going to do to him when you find him?
- [49:49]
Jeff Regan
Well, he's been threatening your father on the phone. I'm just going to take him there. Yeah.
- [49:53]
Madge
Would you bring him to me first? Would you let me talk to him?
- [49:55]
Jeff Regan
Why?
- [49:56]
Madge
Because they. Maybe I. Maybe I can hold him in my arms and make him forget all his hate and everything he's gone through. Maybe he'll still love me. We go away together, get married. You know where he is? Can you find him tonight?
- [50:16]
Jeff Regan
Maybe.
- [50:17]
Madge
You gonna help my mate?
- [50:18]
Jeff Regan
I gotta see a man.
- [50:21]
Madge
I guess I went kinda crazy tonight. I don't know. I've been thinking about him so much lately.
- [50:30]
Jeff Regan
Yeah, well, next time give me a little thought, will you? Good night, lady. Well, Marty Anderson's office was a dirty room hanging over a shoe repair shop. On Sunset, near Alvarado. You could tell it belonged to him. The glass on the door had been washed for 10 years. He didn't answer when I knocked, so I tried my keys on the door. The third one worked inside. It smelled like a pile of wet gunny sacks. The only light was kind of a thick green from a neon sign going on and off. Outside the window was an old army cotton. One corner and right in front of the window, a big black roll top desk and a cracked leather chair. He was sitting there looking at. He couldn't see anymore. One dirty hand was on top of a scratch pad near the phone and the other was inside his coat. When I pulled it out, it was covered with blood and the rest of a pint of cheap Whiskey. I found a.38 cartridge case on the floor. He didn't have anything in his pockets except some keys and a plug of chewing tobacco. There wasn't anything in the desk drawers either. When I started to call Homicide, I had to move his hand. The name Collier was written on the scratch pad and there was an address to go with it. Police Department 24, extension 2521, please. Homicide. Chandler, Lieutenant. Wendy. Off tonight? Who's calling? All right, take this down, Sergeant. Shoe shop, Sunset. Near Alvarado. Yeah, one flight up. Office belongs to a private detective named Marty Anderson. Yep. Got all that? Yeah. He's dead. Why? Hey, who is it? The Santa Monica fog was all over Flower street on the 1300 block south. The street light didn't do much good. Just kind of hung around and watched everything get wet. I used a half a pack of matches. Is finding my address out kind of late tonight, aren't you, pilgrim? What'll it be, Toby? Collier here? He was here. All right, I'll wait. He ain't gonna be here no more. You a friend of his? Never met the guy. Yeah. It's midnight, Peter. All right, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, like that, huh? Any way you want it. I'm gonna do you a favor. I'm gonna tell you something, all right? Santa Claus. Before I you tell. Turned night watcher. They call me the candy kid. Six, four pound of two, under 300. It'd be assault with a deadly weapon if I slapped you in the mush, but you're tempting me. All right, Wait a minute. Being a night watcher ain't slowed me down. All right, now, maybe this will. I just came from Marty Anderson's. So what? He's dead. So what what? And in about a half an hour, the cops are going to be Here looking for Toby Collier? Yeah. Well, they can just dig him up and talk all they want. Dig him up? Are you blind or drunk or something? This outfit buried him this afternoon. This is a mortuary. Well, when I got home, she wasn't there, but a telegram was there with a long answer from San Quentin telling me how Collier had been brought to Los Angeles on a stretcher in the hospital, that he was jam and a lot of other things. It took me 20 minutes to get out to Aladino, but I was too late. Well, her aim was a lot better this time. By the time I got through the door, the old man had dropped his gun and was kind of hanging onto a piece of drapery by the window. Got it. Got you for this.
- [54:08]
Madge
There we go.
- [54:15]
Jeff Regan
Well, you've turned into a real Annie Oakley, haven't you?
- [54:19]
Madge
Good to see him like this. Real good.
- [54:23]
Jeff Regan
You want to give me that gun? It's empty.
- [54:25]
Madge
Sure, why not? He had it coming for a long time.
- [54:29]
Jeff Regan
You read my telegram?
- [54:30]
Madge
Yeah, I read it. And I phoned the hospital and they told me Toby was dead. Bad heart. Wasn't that bad heart that killed Toby.
- [54:40]
Jeff Regan
It was him.
- [54:42]
Madge
He killed him.
- [54:43]
Jeff Regan
You don't have to make those faces. They don't make him any deader.
- [54:47]
Madge
You think I'm nuts, don't you?
- [54:48]
Jeff Regan
No. I'm not a lawyer, lady. You can plead any way you want.
- [54:50]
Madge
Well, I'll never tell it to a court.
- [54:51]
Jeff Regan
Don't bet on that.
- [54:54]
Madge
You aren't such a bad guy. I'll tell it to you.
- [54:56]
Jeff Regan
All of it.
- [54:58]
Madge
How many tramps you met in your life, Regan? Real tramps?
- [55:02]
Jeff Regan
Some. Some just thought they were tramps.
- [55:04]
Madge
Well, you met the genuine product today. Take him. For 10 years he's been packing away money. When the income tax people got closey, he goes out and he finds Toby.
- [55:14]
Jeff Regan
In a villain station and makes him a junior partner.
- [55:17]
Madge
Yeah, works an imprisonment frame up. That makes Toby the fall guy.
- [55:22]
Jeff Regan
That way he doesn't have to straighten out any books.
- [55:24]
Madge
Tramp number one. Genuine, huh? And then there's number two. A private dick named Marty Anderson. Pete.
- [55:32]
Jeff Regan
Well, he's dead. Somebody shot him tonight.
- [55:35]
Madge
Yeah, he did it. The only decent thing he ever did in his life. Marty was in on it. He testified against Toby in court.
- [55:43]
Jeff Regan
But Marty wanted money all the time.
- [55:45]
Madge
So the old man killed him.
- [55:46]
Jeff Regan
And it was supposed to look like.
- [55:47]
Madge
Toby, only Toby was dead. Yeah, Toby was dead and he couldn't kill anybody.
- [55:58]
Jeff Regan
When you find out about Toby, you come back and you do some shooting yourself, don't you? You Killed Toby at the morgue. They told me it was his heart.
- [56:07]
Madge
His heart, soul, everything that made him. He was on a hospital ward all the time he was in prison. He'd only written and told.
- [56:20]
Jeff Regan
All right, come on, you gotta take me down. Yeah.
- [56:26]
Madge
Don'T make no difference now.
- [56:29]
Jeff Regan
This Toby. You must have loved the guy I'd have died for. Yeah, lady, I guess you will. Well, that's the way it came out. Rhondaj killed Marty Anderson because Marty was trying to sell me what he knew about Collier's trial. Marty was a lousy private detective making those phone calls and trying to make Brondy think it was Collier. Well, the lion was mad because iphoned homicide and then ran away. He said it'd give the agency a bad name. Then he began talking the way he does. Funny thing about all this, Regan, those two going for each other. Yeah, she was nothing to look at him. He was a smart guy. He wound up in prison, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah, but he was a smart guy. He was just framed. Not many smart guys get framed. What do you mean?

Are you a registered graduate nurse? Do you know someone who is? Then please listen carefully to this important message. 29,000 nurses are needed to join the new Army Nurse Corps Officers Reserve. For the first time in history, qualified nurses are given the opportunity of receiving a commission in the regular Army Reserve. These nurses will remain on inactive status, ready to serve their country in the event of an emergency. 4,000 of them, if they wish, may choose active duty. All nurses who receive reserve commissions will benefit from the opportunity for specialized training offered to them by the Army. Inactive reserve status will not interfere with the nurse's civilian life, but the educational opportunities offered her by the Army Medical Department will be of great advantage to.
