1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440 Just about the gayest couple in detective fiction are Nora and Nick Charles. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,240 Nick Charles is really the detective, but Nora makes a beautiful and able assistant. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,400 You'll hear all about the Charles family when you listen to the Adventures of the Thin Man 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,560 every Friday beginning January 8th over this station at 8.30 p.m. Eastern wartime, and 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,560 for the Pacific time zone at 9.30 p.m. Pacific wartime. 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:40,560 Suspense. 7 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:54,200 Tonight, Columbia brings you as guest stars two deaf players from the movie 8 00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,200 Laps of Hollywood, the stages of Broadway. Mr. Lesser Landy and Mr. George Caloris, 9 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,600 they are here to spend with us a half hour of suspense. Suspense is compounded of mystery 10 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:15,080 and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series of stories calculated to intrigue you, 11 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:21,320 disturb your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold the solution until 12 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:29,320 the last possible moment. Tonight, for instance, Miss Landy plays for us an agreeable young lady 13 00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,440 who is on the trail of some hot money, and Mr. Caloris plays for us a disagreeable young man 14 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:43,800 who may or may not know more about the money than he says. We trust that with this tale we 15 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:54,440 shall keep you in suspense. For Suspense tonight, CBS presents Alissa Landy and George Caloris 16 00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:14,520 in Nothing Up My Sleeve by John Dixon Carr. 17 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,400 It's New Year's Eve, remember? Times Square is celebrating. The fiery lights flash no longer, 18 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,280 but the crowds are still the same, thronging, jostling, singing, drowning out a voice at the 19 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,360 street corner when it says, fatal gun battle at Jamaica, read all about it, fatal gun battle at 20 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:42,120 Jamaica, read all about it. But would that cry perhaps reach as far as a large and sedate 21 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,880 country house some 20 miles from New York? Out there the earth is sealed up with snow. 22 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,800 The white pillars of the house rise up high and ghostly against it, showing no outward lights. 23 00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:00,920 A lonely house, this mansion in fir woods. Just the place for a murder, I've always said. 24 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:06,600 It wouldn't surprise me either. These ralphs are a funny lot. And alone in that house tonight, 25 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:13,000 apparently alone, is a man practicing shots in a billiard room, a long and paneled room 26 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:23,080 at the back of the house. Now look at Mr. Derrick Ross, as tall and lean and well tailored as ever. 27 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Many people don't like him. He's a little too supersillient, a little too short of himself, 28 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:36,280 too suggestive of the lifted lip and the glazed eye. There he stands in the billiard room, 29 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,680 under the snow covered skylight, leaning over the green cloth under brilliant lights when... 30 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Just a moment please. 31 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Good shot. Yes, come in. 32 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,080 Excuse me, Mr. Ross. Oh, not at all. 33 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Wait, wait, aren't you... I'm Dorothy Dale, your aunt's social secretary. 34 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,920 Surely you remember that. Oh, of course, of course. 35 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,400 Forgive me for forgetting your name. You surprised me, Dorothy. 36 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Yes, I thought I surprised you a little. No, I mean you surprised me by being in the house at all. 37 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Why? Why? Well, this is New Year's Eve. Shouldn't you be out getting drunk and blowing cardboard 38 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,000 horns and doing the other fantastic things that people do? I haven't much heart for that tonight. 39 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,840 Please don't become emotional, Dorothy. I detest emotion. If you're shivering, go over by the radiator. 40 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,920 Mr. Rolfe, may I ask you a question? Of course. 41 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,160 Did you ever feel sick at heart? Physically sick, I mean, so that your insides turned over 42 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,520 and you couldn't get your breath and... Did you? No, no, I can't say I did. 43 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,520 May I move you aside for just a moment? Thank you. 44 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,120 Ah, not bad. Can't you guess why I came here to see you tonight? 45 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,840 No. Because I'm in terrible trouble, Mr. Rolfe. 46 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:03,640 Desperate trouble. And I think you can help me. I can help you? How? 47 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,160 For one thing, you're making quite a name for yourself as a lawyer. 48 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Yes, and that's what others have told me. For another thing, 49 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,400 do you know a man named Shark Morgan? Shark Morgan? Shark, did you say? 50 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,160 Shark Morgan. No, I'm sure I've never heard that name before. 51 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,560 You ought to know him. He's a little dark-faced man with most of his upper lip cut away in a knife 52 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,080 fight so that you can see all his teeth. That's why they call him Shark. 53 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Oh, he sounds like an unpleasant-looking person. 54 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,560 He is or was a ghastly-looking person. You don't know him? He's not a client of yours? 55 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,040 No. I don't believe you. 56 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:50,760 Just a moment, Miss Dorothy Dale. I must put down this cue and say a few words myself. 57 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560 Please do. I don't want to be offensive to you, 58 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,040 but it seems to me that for a paid employee of my aunt practically a servant, you're taking a great 59 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,040 deal on yourself. If you're trying to hurt me that way, you're succeeding. Go ahead. 60 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,800 You come to me at 11 o'clock at night. You come rushing into this billiard room. Observe, 61 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,160 I call it a billiard room, though this is actually a pool table. 62 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400 Just as everything in life gets its wrong name. I entirely agree. 63 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,920 Yes, but you agree about what? That everything gets its wrong name. 64 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960 Honest men are called thieves and thieves are called honest men. 65 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,360 Would you mind explaining that remark, please? 66 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,320 I can explain it very easily. I'm engaged to be married to Jerry Winton. 67 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,480 Well? Don't say you don't know who Jerry Winton is. He was in college with you. 68 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,880 I played on our extremely second-rate baseball team with him, yes. 69 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,080 You never liked him, did you? Liked him? I'm afraid I never noticed him. 70 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Jerry Winton works at City and Provincial Bank on 51st Street. He's a teller there. 71 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,960 Does that mean anything to you? No. You see, it's not my bank. 72 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,840 I was at the City and Provincial Bank yesterday afternoon. 73 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:58,840 Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ralph, just before closing time. 74 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,520 It was a dark day and the lights were on. There weren't many people in that big marble hall. 75 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000 I went up to Jerry's window, if that's what you call it. 76 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,920 Can you cash a check for a million dollars? Hello, darling. 77 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Hello, Jerry. You glad to see me? I am not pleased to see you here, darling. 78 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 I'm never pleased to see you here. And why not? 79 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,960 Because I can't make love to you. Can you imagine anybody making love in a bank? 80 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,440 We might sneak into the president's office. As a matter of fact, I've dreamed of holding a party in there. 81 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,000 But it'll never happen unless I'm fired, which is very likely. 82 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,080 Jerry, sometimes I wish you weren't so easy going. I'm not easy going with the bank's money, 83 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,320 darling. Otherwise, I'd be shoving it out to you through the window in double handfuls like this. 84 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,560 Jerry, for heaven's sake, no. Baby, state your business, madam. 85 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,520 The convict in the next cage is watching us already. I want to cash a check. Here it is. 86 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,120 Twenty dollars. That is, if my account can stand it. 87 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400 Yes, I think we can manage that. How will you have it? 88 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,240 Oh, it doesn't matter anyway. Jerry. What's wrong? 89 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,080 Look over there. Where? Over there by that marble table with the pens and ink on it. 90 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,720 The little man with no upper lip to his mouth and all his teeth showing. 91 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,480 The ugly looking devil I've met. He's carrying something like a violin case. 92 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:30,120 Hold on. I've seen that fellow someplace before. Of course you have. Don't you remember where? 93 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,520 It was... It was out at Mr. Rolfe's house in the country when you came to visit me last Sunday. 94 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,240 The man with the teeth and five other men were coming out on the porches. We were going in. 95 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,560 Wait a minute, darling. That's not all. What is it? 96 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,080 There's some very funny looking customers in this bank right now. 97 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,280 Where? At Mr. Wallace's window. At Mr. Robinson's window. 98 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,000 And up by the guard at the front door. They don't seem to make any sound. 99 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,640 As though they all wore rubber-soled shoes. Jerry, something's going to happen. 100 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880 I know it is. Unless I can get off this stool and walk... 101 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,840 That was just to call your attention, folks. Just to call your attention. 102 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,800 Now, just stand where you are, all of you. And nobody at get height. 103 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,800 Darling, I'm scared. What should I do? 104 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,400 Stand where you are. Just stand still. 105 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,680 I don't dare turn around. Was that the man with the teeth? 106 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,440 Yes, he's got the machine gun. 107 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000 We don't want any funny business about alarm bells, see? 108 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,440 One of the boys has already gone behind to take up the collection. 109 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,840 Just stay where you are. That's all you gotta do. 110 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,120 You can't get away with this. 111 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:35,960 Oh, look, boys. Here's a guy at the front with a nice mahogany desk and a plate with his name on it 112 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440 who says we can't get away with it. That's your hand. 113 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,440 No, it's not. That wasn't in our order. 114 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,480 We can't get away with it. 115 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,640 Oh, he's crazy. 116 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,760 I hear somebody else talking. 117 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,560 Jerry! 118 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:49,560 I thought I heard somebody over here. 119 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,080 Oh, it's you, kid. 120 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400 Move to one side of the window, darling. Move to one side of the window. 121 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920 Don't worry, kid. I ain't gonna height you. 122 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,200 No? 123 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Not a bit of it. Thanks for helping us. You'll get your cut later. 124 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,240 What do you mean, my cut? 125 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,120 It's what I said. You'll get your share when we divvy up. 126 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,320 Well, I don't know anything about this, Robert. 127 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,840 Don't worry, kid. We'll take care of you. 128 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,680 I tell you, I don't know anything about this robbery. 129 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:09,640 Jerry! 130 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Now, six ball in the end pocket. 131 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Got it. 132 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,280 Are you listening, Mr. Ralph? 133 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,000 This shark Morgan must have been quite a fool. I grant you that. 134 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,320 He was a fool. He must have been crazy. 135 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,960 But they've held Jerry at police headquarters just the same. 136 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,040 Well, that's very unfortunate if he's innocent. 137 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,080 You know he's innocent. 138 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,920 I'm afraid I don't know anything about it. 139 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,840 Don't you even know what happened today? 140 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,040 Haven't you read the newspaper? 141 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,680 No. 142 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,400 The police trapped that whole gang in a Long Island farmhouse. 143 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,760 There was a gunfight. 144 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,040 Oh, is that so? 145 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Oh, no casualties, I hope. 146 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,520 You hope? 147 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,640 I must tell you again, darling, don't be emotional.
