Setting the Stage

Detective Dan McGarry is not just a rookie detective but also the passionate baritone soloist of the City Department's Glee Club. His dedication to both his police duties and his singing talent sets the stage for the ensuing drama. As McGarry prepares for the annual glee club contest, tension arises when the rival Fire Department's Glee Club signs their star soloist, Martin Driscoll, to enhance their performance.

"Our pride is at stake."
— Detective Dan McGarry [02:48]

Rising Action

Determined not to let the firemen steal the spotlight, McGarry devises a plan to sabotage Driscoll's performance. He collaborates with his uncle, Inspector Matthew, to limit his own exposure to the elements, believing that preventing himself from getting sick will secure his position in the contest.

"If anything happened to your throat, like some careless person pulling a sharp knife across it, the Commissioner would die."
— Uncle Matthew [02:48]

However, McGarry’s schemes backfire when the firemen retaliate by deliberately inducing conditions that leave him bedridden, fearing he won't be able to sing. Simultaneously, Driscoll falls ill with measles, creating an ironic twist where both rivals are incapacitated.

Conflict

The heart of the episode lies in the escalating rivalry between McGarry and the firemen. Their mutual attempts to outdo each other lead to a humorous series of events:

• McGarry’s Sabotage: Attempting to keep warm to avoid getting sick before the contest.

  "Don't worry, Uncle Matthew. I'll keep him talking out here in front."
  — Detective Dan McGarry [05:34]

• Firemen’s Retaliation: Deliberately exposing McGarry to drafts and wetting his feet to cause sickness.

  "They're trying to give you a cold or something so you won't be able to sing Saturday night."
  — Kitty Archer [08:12]

Climax

Both McGarry and Driscoll end up hospitalized with measles, putting their participation in the glee club contest in jeopardy. The city is abuzz with anticipation as both departments vie for the coveted silver cup, symbolizing their competitive spirit.

"The race is on to see if he or McGarry will recover first."
— Narrator [24:35]

Resolution

In a twist of fate, both McGarry and Driscoll are discharged from the hospital just in time for the contest. The final performance is a spectacle of camaraderie and rivalry, culminating in a unanimous decision by the judges that leaves both departments in high spirits, regardless of the outcome.

"The decision of the judges is unanimous."
— Narrator [27:33]

Conclusion

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Calling all cars. Calling all cars. Has anyone seen Detective McGarry? Yes, Sarge, I have. Who are you? Detective McGarry. Yes, friends, it's McGarry and his mouse. Starring Wendell Corey with Peggy Conklin. The misadventures of rookie detective McGarry have been made famous by Matt Taylor in the pages of this Week magazine. And now, here he is, Dan McGarry himself. Handsome as ever, brave as ever and confused ever since. I'm a little kid and I'm a soprano in the choir I'm very happy that I got a good singing voice. But sometimes singing can get a guy into an awful mess of trouble. Now, you take the other night, for instance. I got a date to take my mouse, Kitty Archer, to dinner and afterwards to the movies at the Bijou. So I just finished my afternoon detail and I'm waiting at headquarters for Kitty to pick me up on her way from work when my blood uncle Matthew, who happens also to be the police inspector comes out of his office and starts hollering at me. Dan. Oh, Dan, I want to talk to you. Hi, Uncle Matthew. What's up? Well, nothing much, except I want to know where you're going this evening. Well, seeing as how my day's work is done I'm gonna take my mouse to Charlie's and get a face full of food. And then I'm gonna take her to a movie. Why? Well, don't stay out late now, Danny Boy. Get home early and get a good night's rest. Hey, Uncle Matthew, is something the matter with you? Me? Why, no, Danny Boy. What makes you think there's something the matter with me? When you go talking to me without hollering your head off, something's wrong. Besides, the only time I hear you say Danny Boy is when you're crocked and you're singing a song of the same name. That's a lie. I never did it. As a matter of fact, I am acting under orders. Orders from His Honor, the police commissioner. He's instructed me to give you no night duty no waterfront detail and confine you to headquarters on rainy days. Did he go and tell you to put my rubbers on too? You're not to do anything that might expose you to a cold until after the annual City Department's Glee Clubs contest Saturday. Night. After that, I'm on my own and can up and die, huh? Well, you know how the commissioner feels about the police department glee club. And you're our baritone soloist. The poor man would die if anything happened to your throat. Like some careless person pulling a sharp knife across it. Don't worry, Uncle Matthew.

[Kitty Archer]

Hello, Uncle Matthew.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Hello, Kitty. Hiya, Mouse. You may not know it, but tonight you are going out with none other than the police commissioner's very favorite person.

[Kitty Archer]

I am not. I'm going out with you, Kitty.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

This person is me. That's right, Kitty. The commissioner and all of us are depending on Dan to win the city department's Bleed Club contest.

[Kitty Archer]

And he will too. He won it for you last year, didn't he?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yes, but do you know who the firemen got for their star soloist this year? Martin Driscoll. Ah, that bummer. Sing em silly. Not too much confidence now, Danny Boy. The firemen have all chipped in and they're sending Driscoll to Professor Vantini, the famous voice coach.

[Kitty Archer]

Maybe it would be cheaper if they got Professor Vantini to join the fire department.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

I'll take on Driscoll and the professor too. Every city department's out for blood this year. Yeah, I hear the boys from the doc department are getting fancy and adding a woman's section. And the street cleaners gave all the men in their glee club a week off to get the dust out of their throats. How about the boys from the Department of Sewage? Oh, we know nothing about them yet, but you can bet they'll come up with something Yeri. Oh, Uncle Matthew. But we don't have to worry about anybody but the firemen. They're our strongest competitors. Our pride is at stake. Don't worry about them ladder jockeys, Uncle Matt. Why, I'll go out on the stage and hit him with a sleep and a teep. Then bang, I'm back with Chloe. And between me and that little old doll, a silver cup is ours. Oh, I hope you're right, Danny Boy.

[Kitty Archer]

Dan, let's get started or we'll be late for the early show.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Now. Take good care of him, Kitty. See that he keeps out of drafts and get home early.

[Kitty Archer]

He'll be all right. Just leave him to me.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

And you be careful, Danny Boy. There's a bit of fog in the air. So? So keep your mouth shut. Hey, Mouse.

[Kitty Archer]

Yes?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

On the way past the firehouse, keep looking straight ahead.

[Kitty Archer]

Why?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

On account of firemen generally a very revolting people. I'd even go so far as to say Them guys beat their poor old mothers.

[Kitty Archer]

They probably feel the same way about cops.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yeah, well, if I ever come across a fireman beating a cop's mother, I'll braid them. Hey, how's it look who's coming up the street? McGarry and his trail friends. Hey, this is our chance to pull that trick on him to keep him out of the glee club contest. Well, look, I'll keep them talking out here in front. You go open a double dozen back and we got him in a draft. I get it. Then I drag out the hose, pretending like I'm wetting down the floor, and I give his feet a little soap. Watch out. Here they are. Okay. Well, well, well, if it ain't the headquarters canary. Good evening, Detective McGarry. And good evening to you, Ms. Archer.

[Kitty Archer]

Good evening, boys.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

How are you? Good evening. Nice to see you. Hey, what's your hurry, McGarry? Won't you and your little lady stop a while and exchange pleasantries with us? Yeah. Here, have a seat. Nothing doing. Anytime a fireman offers a seat to a cop, there's a nail in it in a very inconvenient place.

[Kitty Archer]

Dan. Now, remember what I told you. No argument.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

How are the boys over at headquarters, McGarry? Worried about Saturday night. I suppose the only thing that worries us about Saturday night is that some fireman will swipe the silver cup and we're going to take it out as first prison one, fair and honorable, says the fireman. I. Fred, it's time to wick down the floor. Oh, yeah, I sure will. Yeah, I better drag out the hose. Right, Pete. And open the double doors and back so we can get a good cooling breeze through here. I get you. Ms. Archer, would you like to come in and look over our new hook and ladder truck?

[Kitty Archer]

What? I think that would be very nice, Mr. Welch.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Hey, Mouse. Boris. Carlos playing at the Bijou. And he's much nicer than anything you'll see around here.

[Kitty Archer]

Now, Dan, let's not be. Oh, that does make quite a breeze, doesn't it?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Better than a seashore, I'd say. What do you call that? That's Martin Fis upstairs. Ain't that pretty? I could make that bum sound like a door hinge. Oh, yeah? Think you could get under that one, McGarry? Get under that? Why, get this. Hey, who is that down there? It's Dan McGarry, the police department thrush. Oh, yeah. See what you can do with this, McGarry. Oh. Oh, yeah. Right back at you, Driscoll. Oh, you want to make something out of it, eh? I got him. He blew it. My own regret is it don't happen to be Saturday night. I'll go. Say, why don't you look out with that hole? Oh, Officer McGarry, how careless of me. Did you get your feet wet? I sure did. I got a good mind. What's the matter, Kitty?

[Kitty Archer]

I'm beginning to hate firemen as much as you do.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Well, Mars, I'm glad.

[Kitty Archer]

Don't you see what they're trying to do to you? They open the back door so you'd be standing in a draft. Then they deliberately wet your feet so you'd dance. They're trying to make you sick.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Kitty, firemen make me sick without even trying.

[Kitty Archer]

But, dad, don't you understand? They're trying to give you a cold or something so you won't be able to sing Saturday night.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

No.

[Kitty Archer]

Yes. Why, you. You might get pneumonia.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Oh, now, Ms. Archer. Nothing as drastic as that. We ain't greedy. We'd be glad to settle for a severe case of laryngitis.

[Kitty Archer]

Come on, Dan, let's get out of here. These fellows are awful. You've got to get right home and dry your feet.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

See to these wrapped up good. Ms. Archer, you got a prize package. Dad, that little dame of his is too smart. She got him away before I gave his feet a good bulking. Don't you worry about that. If this doesn't work, I got another scheme up my sleeve that's bound to keep McGarry out of that contest.

[Kitty Archer]

Ram.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

You still listening, commissioner? Yes, I am. Well, then, commissioner, The Blackhawks pretending like they were wetting the floor as firemen always do. Deliberately played the hose on Dan's feet and him standing in a draft. Oh, scurlogs. They'll stop at nothing. Well, how is he? Tell me he's all right. He was all right this morning when he went on duty but you know how those things have a way of developing. Send out a general call. Get him off the street. Don't let him out of headquarters. I'll do that commission. I'm going to call the fire commissioner. I'm going to tell him what I think of him and his whole department. I'll bring him before the mayor. I'll show him he can't fool around with my baritone. Oh, there you are, Danny boy. I'm glad you're here. Close the lineage. Shut the door. I want no drafts in here. Uncle man, what's the big idea of sending out a general alarm for me? What have I gone and done? Nothing, son. Nothing. At all. Tell me, how do you feel? I feel swell, except I'm a very hungry person. Hungry? Hungry. Feed a cold, starve a fever. Here, let me feel your forehead. I said I was hungry. What's my head got to do with that? Here, feel my stomach if you gotta go feelin something. Just a minute, Danny boy. Come over here. I must say, Uncle Matt, I never saw you acting this. Hello? Hello, Cassidy. Put me through the commissioner right away. Right away, I said. Are you sure you're all right, Danny Boy? Uncle Matt, maybe I'd better feel your forehead. I had a talk with the commissioner this morning and he. Hello? Hello, Commissioner? This is Inspector McGarry. Yes, sir, he's here. He just came in this minute. Yes, sir. Hold on just a minute here. John, get on the phone. The commissioner wants to talk to you. The commissioner wants. Oh, hey, Uncle Mac. Go on, get on the phone. Will I. Hello? Yes, sir, this is Detective McGarry. Well, like I've been telling everybody, I'm feeling swell. No, no, frogs in my throat. You what? Why, yes, sir. If you want. You're doing well. Okay, here goes. When the bell in the lighthouse. Well, I'm glad you're satisfied now, sir. You do? Why, yes, sir. Yes, sir. I will, sir. Goodbye. Holy. Look, Uncle Matthew. This here's something fierce. What's the matter? What did the commissioner say? He wants me to call him up every day till a contest and sing to him so he'll know my voice is in shape. Hello? Inspector McGarry speaking. Oh, all right. Hey, I'll see you, Danny. Hello. Detective McGarry speaking. Hello, McGarry? This is Martin Driscoll of the fire department. Driscoll? What? I can't say as I'm jumping with joy to hear from you. Listen, I heard about the trick the fellas pulled on you yesterday and I just want to say that I had nothing to do with it. And to show you how sorry I am that the boy tried to wet you down, I'd like to do a little favor for you. You'd like to do a favor for me? Hey, Driscoll, this makes me feel kind of sorry for thinking about you the way I do. What's the favor? Well, tonight, KO Kid Guppy is fighting Butcher Boy Prentice. It's the big fight of the season and I thought you'd like to see it. I sure would. That guppy's my favorite leather pusher. So I'm sending you over a couple of free tickets with my personal compliments. Well, say, this is real whiting. You think nothing of it. Dan, I just want you to know that even though I'm your rival in the contest, in real life, I'm your friend. Goodbye. Bye. And thanks. Well, I guess we've done good in everybody. Even firemen.

[Kitty Archer]

Oh, hello, Dan. Come out to the porch and sit down and see who just dropped in.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Well, it ain't none other than Joe and Bernie. Hello, Joe. Hello, Bernie.

[Kitty Archer]

Hello, Dan.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Hello, Dan.

[Kitty Archer]

Dan, Joe is just down to the store.

[Kitty Archer]

Getting some braids for some braids. Thank you.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yes, please.

[Kitty Archer]

So we figured while we was in the neighborhood. Come up and say hello to Kitty. Oh, and you too, Maggie. Thank you.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yes, you too. Well, I think it's very nice of you to go in and drop in on Kitty. And I'm glad I happened to drop by whilst you're here.

[Kitty Archer]

Sit down, dad.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Thank you. Wait, Mouse. I got a big surprise for you. Yeah? I got a present of a couple of free ducks to the Fright tonight. Hey, yo, Kid Guppy versus Butcher Boy. Pretty. Goodness.

[Kitty Archer]

What do you know?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Everybody's gonna be there. Uncle Mackey, the police commissioner, the mayor. If I have my way, Dan McGarry and his mouse will be there too.

[Kitty Archer]

We go too. Only Joe gets terrible excited at fight.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Excited?

[Kitty Archer]

Well, if you want to see somebody excited, you should see Dan at a fight. He's terrible. You're going to love this fight. KO Kid Guffey's a wonderful prize fighter. He and Joe used to go to school together. Huh, Joe?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yeah.

[Kitty Archer]

You know, they had a fight once. And you know something?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

No, what?

[Kitty Archer]

Joe nearly murdered him. Didn't you, Joe?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yeah. Nearly murdered me. Well, Guppy's a great favorite with me and I'll be very happy to see him chop up butcher boyfriend.

[Kitty Archer]

Why?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Because that guy's got a cousin on the Englewood Fire Department. And if I can't see a fireman chopped up, I'm willing to settle for a distant relation. Come on, comey. Face the bum off. Give me all my clothes.

[Kitty Archer]

You're so humble, my Kitty.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

I got to let my man know I'm with him.

[Kitty Archer]

Man, your shirt's getting soaked with perspiration.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

The Boy p me by time around. Don't let him get away from you. Hey, this is certainly a very exciting fight, eh, Commissioner? I don't know about the fight right here. I can't keep my eyes off that nephew of yours. Look at him over there. He's got me worried to death. Look at the way he's carrying on in this drafty place. Dan, sit down. Keep still. You're waking yourself up into a sweat. Why, this is enough, Matthew. Look. What's the matter, Commissioner? Look at that wisdom. Little shrimp sitting behind your nephew. Watch him. There. He did it again. Oh, the dirty little. Do you see that? Every time your nephew stands up and hollers himself into a sweat, that little bum pulls a fan out of his pocket and fans the back of his wet neck there. Have he done it again? Why, he'll give the boy his death a cold. Say, that fella's face looks confused, Commissioner. I know that little fella, and he's up to no good. You know him? Who is he? His name's Pants Trimble and he's a firehouse hangerer. If I. Oh, Saint. Sir. Oh, the little devil. I see what he's up to now. Grab him, Matthew. We got to get hold of him. Excuse me. Excuse me. Grab him, Matthew. Don't let him get away. Don't worry. Hey, come out of there, you dirty sneak. And can I have a little run? Come out, I said. Hi, Uncle Matthew. Matthew, what's the idea of putting the arm on this here little citizen? Citizen? He's a scheming little parasite that's been hired to do you great harm. No kidding. I mean, you don't say, sir. Leave the runt to me. Matthews, you take your nephew home right away. Home? We may be just in time. Put him right to bed. Wrap him up good. Come on, Dan. We're going home. Oh, hey, Uncle Matthew. The last rounds of the fight's coming on. You heard what the commissioner said. That's an order, Dan.

[Kitty Archer]

Do as you're told. Remember, you're a cop.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

I may be a cop to you, but to the cops, I'm just a canary. Hello, Commissioner, this is Inspector McGarry speaking. The very worst has happened. Our Dan's at home on the broad of his back and shaking the whole house. Not with chills and fever. With chills and fever? I'm afraid the boy will be out of the glee club contest. We can't let that happen, Matthew. I'll reserve a room for him at the city hospital. I'll send the head police Surgeon to attend him. You get a patrol wagon and get him to the hospital right away. Assign a motorized cycle escort, but get in there with all speed. Matthew, this is a terrible calamity for the department. Calling all cars. Calling all cars. Latest bulletin from city Hospital. Detected McGarry in serious condition. Doctor's not sure of the nature of his illness. Fire commissioner denies complicity. The dirty, lying whelp. He knows it was it. That is all for now. That is all. Oh, mugs, I'm burning up. I feel like I got a hot foot with a blowtorch.

[Kitty Archer]

Nonsense, Dan. Your face is all flush, that's all.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

And to think I was fanned into this. What do you think I got, Mom?

[Kitty Archer]

I don't know, Dan. The doctors are holding a consultation right now.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Just my luck. Up and die before me and you get a chance to be married.

[Kitty Archer]

Darling, you'll be all right. But I can see you'll never sleep while I'm here.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

You're not leaving me, Mom?

[Kitty Archer]

Yes, but I'll drop back tonight. Goodbye for now, Dan.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Bye, Kitty.

[Kitty Archer]

Go to sleep now.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Okay, Mouse. Oh, good evening, Ms. Archer. How's the patient?

[Kitty Archer]

All right, I guess, Mr. Driscoll. But I don't think you ought to go in there now.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Why, Ms. Archer, I'm assigned to the hospital fire detail. I gotta go into every nook and corner.

[Kitty Archer]

Well, just be careful, that's all.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Don't worry, Ms. Archer. I'll be as gentle as a lamb. Well, well, well, if it ain't Detective McGarry. Flat on his back and looking like something out of an egg beater. How did you enjoy the fight? Why, you big bum. I should have known. When a fireman has given me two free tickets it's gonna turn out to be two tickets to a hospital. Well, I must say I'm sorry I won't get a chance to sing against yourself Saturday night. You look pretty bad. Now that I'm here, I want to offer my condolences. Condolences? You'll make a very good looking corpse. Get out of here, you bummer. Detective McGarry, don't get yourself excited now. Oh, hello, doctor. What's the good word on the consultation? Well, we've gone into your case in detail. What seemed like a simple cold at first turns out to be a mild case of measles. Measles? Hey, McGarry, you're in your second childhood. When I get out of here, Driscoll, I'm gonna see how far I can bend some of the important bones in your body. What are you gonna do, doc? Transfer him to the nursery? This is no laughing matter, young man. Measles is a highly contagious disease. Contagious? Hey, I'm getting out of here. Oh, no, you're not. You've been exposed. You'll have to be quarantined. Quarantine? Oh, no, Doctor, that's impossible. I gotta sing for the fireman Saturday night. Oh, this is what I call wonderful. What kind of a wreath would you like me to send to you? Wake Driscoll. This is a frame up. I'm not sick. I'm all right. I got a little headache, that's all. I feel a little warm too, but, well, I've had this tired feeling before, so. Hey, doc, would you like to give me a lookin over just in case? I'm very happy to see you folding this way to Driscoll. I don't crave your company, but. Draw up the be.

[Kitty Archer]

Sam. It's.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Calling all cars. Calling all cars. In addition to Danny McGarry, Martin Driscoll, the fire department singer, is confined to city hospital with a case of measles. The race is on to see if he or McGarry will recover first. The firemen are laying even money on their man. This is sucker money, boys. Pick it up. That is all for now. That is all. Good.

[Kitty Archer]

What do you know, Kitty? I guess half the cops and firemen in this city is here inside the hospital waiting for the word from the doctors. Who do you think's gonna get out first, Dan or Driscoll? We should know soon, Bernice. Both the commissioners are in there arguing with the doctors now. Gosh, it's terrible. Suspenseful hunch, yo.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yes, terrible.

[Kitty Archer]

Well, whichever one of them gets out today, he'll be able to sing in the contest. Not Kitty. That's right, Bernice. Oh, no wonder the commissioners is having such a fight with the duck. Oh, look, look. Somebody's coming out the front door. It's the police commissioner and Van. There he is right behind him. He's been discharged, Bernice. Ain't this wonderful, Jim? Discharged, Joe?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yes.

[Kitty Archer]

Hey, Joe, didn't you hear what I said?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Here. Discharge.

[Kitty Archer]

Oh, wait, somebody else is coming out. Oh, it's the fire commission. And Bristol is with him. Well, what do you know? What do you know? They'll both be able to sing in the glee club contest. Say, this is going to be a real fight. Oh, gee, Dan, it was wonderful. Me and Joe just had to come backstage and tell you.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Why, thanks, Bernice. You too, Joe. Hey, Mouse, how do you think I.

[Kitty Archer]

Did Dan, you sang like an angel. Ladies and gent, here comes the masses down on you.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

You have heard the various city department flea clubs at their very fine solar seat. The judges are now adding up the paint and we'll have the decision in just a moment. Well, Danny boy, how do you feel? Uncle Matthew, I'm as nervous as a mouse on a banquet floor. Well, don't you worry. The contest is over and may the best man win. Thanks, Uncle Matthew. I'm glad to see you still got confidence in me.

[Kitty Archer]

Yee, look at the silver cup. Ain't it pretty? Hey Joe, wouldn't you like to win one of them big cup for your dancing?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yeah, full of beer. Now, ladies and gents, the decision of the judges. As you know, last year the police and fire department singing ran neck and neck for final honors. But this year the decision of the judges is unanimous.

[Kitty Archer]

Oh, hurry up for one.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

So we are happy to announce the second there's no cut and fight dollars. Go through that street. Clean at it.

[Kitty Archer]

Oh, look, look everybody, the police commissioner.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

What's the matter with the police commissioner? Mouse?

[Kitty Archer]

Why, the poor man's fainted. Oh, hey, yeah, look Joe, the condition is. Fainted?

[Detective Dan McGarry]

Yeah, fainted.

[Kitty Archer]

It's.

[Detective Dan McGarry]

This is the Armed Forces Radio Service.

[Kitty Archer]
