most people who trade San Francisco for

heaven and call it an even swap

If Heaven had thrown a couple of

outfielders and twenty thousand cash

you don't get much argument but down on

the waterfront it's a little tougher to

prove

the embarcaderos on the west side of the

bay and the piers stretch out different

sizes like straws on an old broom

the piers start from south of the ferry

building and stagger clear past the

China docks and hide Somewhere Out of

Sight

Pier 23

that's where I come in me Danny O'Brien

I read out boats and do anything else it

means long odds and short hours my

Sidelines trouble

and as long as I get paid I can't be

responsible for the guys who hire me

anyhow it's a way to make a living and

if you never save enough to get married

at least you got enough to leave town on

down at the waterfront everything's as

hard to Pedal as a secondhand toothbrush

and a set of morals won't cause any more

stir than Mother's Day in an orphanage

Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco's own

and if you love Seafood

suitcase you bought at the auction

didn't find any welcome mat outside I

paid a thousand bucks at somebody else's

money for that suitcase which according

to law gives them title to it

do you want me to repeat that in words

of one syllable

look O'Brien I didn't come here to

listen to a lot of lip that sax happens

to belong to me you ought to take better

care of your toys gonna give it to me or

client we still got some unfinished

business together I'll double whatever

she promised you a thousand five

fifty bucks just doubled your salary 100

bucks okay

I pay on delivery

[Music]

when I started coming too my head felt

the size of a social worker's heart

I was enjoying the pretty pictures until

I saw that badge and the puss of

Inspector broker of San Francisco

homicide

making a wish O'Brien

well if I am it didn't come true you're

still here oh I think my hips Christ the

bones are sticking through the skin

ah

broken bones junk

chunky says my favorite English Briar

all right Kelly wait for me outside

what are you collecting Alibis what's

yours for last night at 12 o'clock

depends on what night this is this is

night the Sun's shining and it's

Thursday

I was in bed

you got a witness oh why

how about the guy who bought that

suitcase from

tell me more

the auctioneer Cole says a thousand

bucks you gave him got home sick and

left he says somebody robbed him before

he had a chance to count it good what's

your story why does Cole think I'm an

Indian giver he says you've paid him a

return visit and helped yourself to the

thousand bucks let's have the pitch

well that's a wild one Burger

you see I was forced to do this damn a

favor I bet you force easy well as a

matter of fact I was uh I was bidding in

a suitcase for at an auction and uh

while I was up paying and signing for

the suitcase she took a powder on me

well thank you

you've got a very active memory

can you think of her name

sure Claire Underwood run her down and

see what he gets you

what's your connection with Charlie Bibi

what's a Charlie baby

he was a musician somebody shot him dead

never heard of him

maybe you just heard of his instrument

oh

let me guess

it was a saxophone huh

you know brother uh

I don't get this

you're covering an awful lot of

territory

a murder I can understand but a robbery

robbery detail gets his call from Cole

but somebody holding him up for a

thousand bucks they paid for a suitcase

with a saxophone in it so they traced

the saxophone and find out as Charlie

BB's they know I'm on the BB case and

they tip me off simple huh yeah two

simple

I think that saxophone is connected with

the murder where is it not at all a

torpedo named Larry Dunlap walked in and

sapped me for it yeah

how hard did he sap you O'Brien hard

enough why

because there's blood on the carpet here

you can't be yours you don't have any

how'd it get here

why uh

well I don't know maybe uh maybe

somebody got lost and figured this was a

blood bank or maybe they thought it was

a morgue and left a body I look around

yeah look under the carpet maybe it was

a little guy

okay O'Brien

I'm not taking you in yet but if there's

blood there must be a body that'll show

and when it does we'll turn it in for

yours you'll have to stand on your head

to pin this one on me maybe I will

shouldn't be too hard for you at that

square head

[Music]

there is a line of question marks during

a Time step in my foggy brain why did

that lug Dunlap slug me who left blood

on my rug as a deposit how come a brass

horn would bring a thousand bucks maybe

that sax was solid gold after all huh

that babe Musta know what was in the

suitcase why make a red cap on me

and where's my 50 Buck tip

I better talk to my roommate next

Professor Frederick Simpson's chicker X

because he'd found glasses more

inspiring than classes

provided the glasses had one of the

three Fates in them

Scotch Rye or bourbon

oh Professor you're an angel from Heaven

I was just going out to look for you

Italy instinctive the homing pigeon my

boy you must have mislaid that instinct

last night where were you do I question

your whereabouts only the unfortunate

discovery that I had run out of funds

occasion my return at the moment sir as

you know the soulless minions of

Commerce demand cash on the line and uh

you know my boy I had five dollars

stashed here somewhere yeah well forget

it for now we got trouble what is the

nature of your trouble Dennis

hell a flashy Dame named Claire

Underwood caught up with me at Kohl's

auction place and uh after I left the

professor I ran over my leads you could

have counted them on one finger and

you'd still have to cheat

I decided the first guy to look up was

the auctioneer

where it closed until the night sale Mr

I told you we're closed right now

but if there's anything I can do for you

you can tell me a straight story the one

you told the police he got him polishing

up the electric chair for me

you're the guy that bought the black

suitcase you got a good memory how good

is it for robbery well it it was dark

outside someone hit me from behind I I I

thought it was you when I come to a

thousand bucks was missing so I called

the cops well well after all you guys

went off your rocker with that bidding I

I never figured you'd go that high so

when I found out even Grant was missing

I I I figured maybe you wanted your

dough back your story started fast but

you're fading in the stretch

another thing

just a little mistake

but that Doe wasn't mine

but a gun in your pocket if it'll make

you talk about that suitcase I'll say

yes cool I don't know what you mean I I

told you you were taking a chance when I

put that suitcase up for sale remember I

I gotta make a living you don't have to

crowd the mint now look just what is it

about that suitcase it gives it a

thousand dollar price tag I don't know

why I tell you I don't know a thing

they're lying

who was just a suitcase another suitcase

with a sacks in it so you know what

presented all the time

hello guys gotta live it's a matter of

opinion go ahead well I it was a nice

sex I I know something about musical

instruments and this one was one in ten

thousand so I I called a friend of mine

a hot shot musician I I thought he might

be interested what's the friend's name

uh Becker Becky yeah but Becker he plays

the Ten of sacks at the downbeat club I

sold him the whole works for 200 bucks

the sex was something real special huh

yeah

we should have held out for more dough

look Becker's a friend

of mine you wouldn't learn

to stop stuttering you give your kids a

complex

[Music]

the sax player I wanted to see was out

front blowing his brains out so I went

back to the dressing room where the

musicians grabbed their second win with

a short one

[Music]

hello Danny

saxophone

dollars and I'll answer your question

okay uh the late Mr BB and the girl were

uh good friends but Mr Bibi was in the

process of forming a mutually profitable

partnership with your Mr Dunlap

including Miss Underwood out uh-huh and

Miss Underwood found out about it didn't

like the idea so she included herself in

and Bibi it's possibly assisted to his

reward shall we save

uh Riley tells me Bruegger is greatly

agitated about you Dennis he thinks

you're planning a drastic step to evade

Justice someone ordered a reservation on

the 2AM plane to Mexico in the name of D

O'Brien I'm Ben shocking Professor it's

either Clara Dunlap look I'm gonna go

out to the airport but I want you to do

a quick job for me first a musician

named Bud Becker kicked off about an

hour ago our Burger sat his body down to

the morgue for a lab report I want you

to see if you can find out what that

report was and phone me back yep well

thanks

foreign

report shows Becca died of poisoning all

right thanks I'm going out to the

airport and see what I look like taking

a plane from Mexico bye

you could word it any way you like but

the big riddle was still at saxophone

Claire headed and Dunlap wanted it then

a couple of guys had died for it

[Music]

sorry I had to borrow your name Danny

you're too little part baby

I've got a big ego Denny and this gun

bolsters dollar to homicide they'll take

a nipple out of either you or Dunlap

well you better throw them Dunlap I've

got a date in Mexico City it's a blind

date Claire you're going in the wrong

direction well by the bonfoyage party

well Larry I thought you did I want that

case and the saxophone you won't need

this kind of music while you're going

Larry if I go you go with me sweetheart

get out of my way

nice work O'Brien even if you did let

the girl get away

and then I gave you a break Ruger and

let you have one of them I know you've

been waiting at the plane to put the

handcuffs on me now you flatter yourself

we've been tailing this under whatever

since we spotted her opening a safety

deposit box at the bank safety

department

well sure that's it where's that sex

[Music]

play request to yeah only nothing but

Faust comes up the jewel song

wow half a million dollars worth of

right answers so that's why they wanted

the instrument sure

then what I think Claire and BB were

operating as a team Jewel thieves they

stashed the stuff in the box at the bank

did she kill Bibi I think so but what

about the sex well if you ask Claire

real nice I think she'll tell you that

it held the key to the whole thing a key

to a box full of pretty baubles well

where does Becker fit in well it's a

funny thing but he was the only one who

was interested in the horn because it

played pretty notes so he swapped it to

Claire for a Mickey

that was one time he really played music

that was out of this world

maybe your luck is changing Dennis maybe

you'll stick to renting boats for a

while well maybe

ah company

your aunt don't talk that way about my

aunt she's a fine woman

sure only your uncle complained they

just didn't get along that's all

that's reason enough

maybe she shot him she wouldn't have a

divorce is much easier yeah it's cheaper

too

maybe she killed him for his money

you're wrong again Mr O'Brien the will

reads everything goes to me that takes

her out doesn't it yeah but it kind of

puts you in

you're building up a big lead

all right

we'll do it my way then why don't you

use your chin it's prettier than that

gun it's softer too

I found you with my uncle's body Mr

O'Brien we'll let the police decide who

looks guiltier I'm awfully sorry darling

but I don't have time you know you're

kind of a tough family

yeah

that's bad

now I'll see you later I'll call the

police they'll get you you won't get far

what makes you think I want to get far

I'll just leave you here to cool off bye

hello Brian

how do you feel

you want my temperature know your

confession

are you ready to talk about Arnold Jason

oh

I think we've got a sure thing this time

O'Brien we've got you tied down better

than a guy with eight kids

you'd believe anything a girl told you

booger that pins you down to a murder I

would

look she got a case roll it out the guy

was dead before I got there last night

that's one man's opinion

elegant

too many women too much whiskey how I

know I got hired to take a Dame named

Vicki Jason to a yacht party last night

I got paid 50 bucks for the job at that

price I can do without love

I don't know your problem though Brian

but in the picture I saw you weren't

talking politics with the Dane I got

roped into that scene if you even tied

your own knot

look I tell you I never saw the girl

before I didn't even know she was

married Sheila Bates had a better story

well she had more time to make it up

why don't you check on her and the will

she gets all the dull

I don't think she's the type

Burger you wouldn't know a plant if it

was sticking out of your lapel I tell

you one of the Jason Bunch stumbled

again now using me for a patsy

there'll be less Scandal that way

yeah more noise

why don't you pick up a private eye

named ed spadley he conned me into the

deal I should take the word of a shamas

all right then check on what time Sheila

Bates called Homicide last night what

does that give me a little sense maybe

at least you'll know what time I was

supposed to have killed the guy and if

that checks with the time he died I'll

give myself up let's go downtown now Big

Shot

a little slow in the morning Bruegger

you can't take me downtown

are you off your rocker Jason was killed

three miles out of your territory you

couldn't hold me if you wanted to guess

my weight

all right smart boy don't tell the book

at me tomorrow make you eat the print

I'll be around we'll put a tail on you

and when you make a slip we'll pick you

up your guys couldn't catch a fly in a

glue factory then you're safe if you can

Sprout wings

I knew after Burger left I'd have to

shift into high gear there were lots of

questions floating around and there were

no answers why did Vicki Jason let

homicide believe I was the other love

they didn't figure unless she was trying

to plant a motive on me for killing her

husband

last night's Adventure in a reasonably

hold condition I'm not so sure about

that what happened

I got mixed up in a divorce scandal oh

I'm afraid I can't help you much there

well

especially not since it turned into a

murder rap homicides trying to pet it on

me

bruga wasn't Whimsical no

say you remember that Dame I was to take

off and spadeley's hands last night her

name was Vicki Jason all I was supposed

to do was to take her off to a yacht

party and watch her have a good time

were you supposed to stop her or help

her I never found out when we got out

there nobody was on the yacht she went

into a desert island routine so would

you prefer to omit the rest oh no

she gave me a big bear hug and threw me

a big fat kiss then her husband and

spadley came barging in with a camera

did you try to explain the situation to

the husband yeah I went back this

morning tried to talk to him he wasn't a

lesson he was dead oh I should have

known

Jason's niece Sheila Bates came in and

fined me with the body she's hollering

murder since she inherits all the dough

she's got a loud voice she seems to have

a motive

I don't know about that

maybe so but my money's still on Vicky

she told homicide I was her big moment

looks bad Dennis yeah it sounds like a

family affair but I gotta hunch that guy

speedless in for more than a fee Dennis

would you do something for me please

sure what would you take out an

insurance policy somebody might need the

dough

I think you mean that I do who's going

to support me after you're gone

[Music]

right Mr O'Brien I'm happy to see you

why did you buy another gun I just

called your shop I want to talk to you

won't you come in please ask me again I

got the wrong idea

thank you

that's down shall we

I'm going to shock you Mr O'Brien

I think you're innocent should I say the

same for you I mean I don't think you

killed my Uncle Arnold

lady I've been sold on myself for a long

time I know but I wasn't

I was too fond of my aunt to believe it

other

but now I think she killed Arnold

why is she talking her sleep no Arnold

talked in his diary

I found Arnold's diary this morning I

just got through reading it what did it

say that won't make you blush it was the

last entry Mr O'Brien Anna was afraid

that Vicki was going to kill him if he

went through with his divorce plans

I just couldn't believe it at first

it happens in the best of families

the diary's up in my room

I'll give it to you

but I want you to make a promise first

oh so you got a price too huh

look lady I'm pushing a murder rap I'll

get what I want if I have to use my

elbows

I'll make it easier

I just want you to promise you'll never

tell Vicky how you got it

okay you got a deal

but you can't let me down Mr O'Brien can

I trust you

on some things

go get the diary

all right

excuse me

I'll save you this troublesh

o now get out of here I'll get out and I

won't be back

he's got some ideas of her own and I've

got one for homicide wait a minute Danny

you don't believe her do you what have I

got to lose

me you're confused lady I like myself

better that's not what I told the

inspector I know so stop quivering that

lip and get me that diary let go of my

arm Jenny I don't have a diary Sheila

made up the whole thing she was lying

she sounded awfully sure she must have

had a lot of practice come on give

all right Denny throw your muscle around

but it's not going to get you anywhere

all right I let the boys down at

homicide try you'll be sorry

now get out of here and leave me alone

that's what you want

foreign

could have been the real thing but I

knew if his fingered Vicky she wouldn't

give it up easy

I told inspector broker the story and

mentioned the diary I could still hear

him laughing it sounded like a bottle

being rinsed out

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

hello Brian

you look like you got trouble

adjusting it out a new well I'm leaving

it all to you what do you want

couple of words Maybe

we'll take a whole sentence I'm friendly

that's good take your hand out of your

coat then it's heartburn O'Brien I never

carry a gun don't take those kind of

cases what kind of the case was that you

wrote me into last night or that one

yeah you got a nice smile speedly I

wonder how to look without teeth

look O'Brien you're in business for

yourself you know how it is a Buck's a

buck and you don't care how you make it

huh

let's not get moral you don't fit the

part I don't shape up as a patsy either

I figured you needed the dough Arnold

Jason hired me to plan a correspondent

with his wife and you were handy what's

the matter with your own boys they out

on strike well it's a matter of

typecasting you look better than anybody

else especially for a murder rap huh and

I look small time if I could figure on

everything I'd close shop and start

telling fortunes you'll do better if you

start telling me about Vicky Jason

I've already told you about it what do

you want now a pencil sketch she told

homicide I was her 16 Candle lover why

well let's not get big-headed she says

the same thing about all the guys she

goes out with okay so I flat her easy

Tell Me Something I Don't Know

why don't you ask her why should I

explain for a bad taste because maybe

you were working together because maybe

you had a deal to knock Jason off and

make me the Fall Guy so you want to make

your story good you both told homicide I

Did It For Love

that's a big statement my boy

maybe you better have some backing maybe

I've got some already

Sheila Bates and a diary say Vicky did

it

I agree Vicky did it but not with me

all of a sudden it came to you huh no

I've been mulling it over for quite a

while

but you know how it is when you're

dealing with a woman like Vicki no tell

me how is it

come on what's your tie-in with her I

got dealt in by the husband that's all I

know I'll bet your files prove you're a

liar I wouldn't go do those O'Brien

that's not ethical especially if

Victor's name's listed huh I wouldn't

let you do that with a search warrant

[Music]

hello

[Music]

hello Brian this is Bruegger

how'd you know I was here

no

okay so I'm here but I'm leaving goodbye

don't hang up

I know it's costing you a nickel it'll

cost you more things are beginning to

shape up

all right get to the point I took your

advice father that boat is inside our

Zone you're on the hook again

uh you better change your bait

all right we'll start with Vicki Jason I

just spoke to her

she must have loved you a lot she

wouldn't say yes for two hours

but she finally broke down and confessed

that you killed her husband

about her age maybe but not about you

broke your trade your brain in for a dry

cell I told you before get a hold of

that diary we listened to all taxpayers

O'Brien we picked it up an hour ago

let me read you a passage from it you

better be careful this may be a party

line

I'll just read the last entry it says

I'm gonna trap Vicky with O'Brien

tonight they say he's threatened to kill

me I'm afraid something is going to

happen

now we both know what happened O'Brien

you tell me why

get hold of Jason's niece Sheila and

Tickler for some answers I tell you that

diary had a later entry in it and it

said Vicki was going to kill him

that's a good story but it won't hold up

because the rest of the pages in that

diary have been torn out are you stay

right where you are I'm coming over

after you

if I held still for hummus I'd have as

much chance of making out as a barefoot

boy in a basement full of glass

[Music]

thank you

what did you find out about Speedway

it's a success story he started at the

bottom but worked his way up to a window

shade and became a private detective now

he's engaged to devote more time to key

holes in a locksmith how does he tie in

with vicen speedly indulged in an

adolescent romance while in high school

but she's been an old-fashioned girl

ever since old-fashioned unfortunately

she drank too many of them with too many

different men to suit her husband he was

trying to get a divorce long before

urine beagled into lending your

involuntary Aid

well what hell left the proceedings

Sheila van niece after losing her

parents several years ago she moved in

with the jasons who became very fond of

her but she had her aunt's ideas well

they weren't hereditary because she's

got some ideas of her own now she's been

hollering that Vicky killed her Uncle

Arnold I think he must be a little deaf

then she just filed the claim asking to

be made Sheila's Guardian

oh now it begins to add up that way she

can control the door that Jason left to

Sheila not quite Sheila's old enough to

choose her own guardian and she's

turning down Vicky who does she favor

spadeley what

that's gonna bring on some complications

they'd all be legal though she's eloping

tonight with spadley Torino she's at his

apartment now

I think I'll join them

[Music]

should I apologize for the intrusion

we're just leaving O'Brien can I do

anything for you on the way to the door

yeah you can hesitate we're gonna stay a

while get out of the way oh Brian sure

as soon as you clear me with homicide I

told you Vicky was your girl now use

your head you used it the last time now

I can get you out of my mind mail me a

letter come on Sheila I'll do that I'll

mail a care of the warden

made up our minds just like you made up

those stories huh well you're not going

to get away with it I'll tell Sheila

husband

to divorce you

could become her guardian I'll tell her
