If you'll sign, 01:28.600 --> 01:34.720 please. Sure. Excuse me, friend. Yes? I couldn't help hearing your name, Javery. 01:34.720 --> 01:40.000 Well, that's right. In the relation to Frank Javery of Cincinnati? Well, not that I know of. 01:40.000 --> 01:46.720 Kind of a funny name, no offense, you understand, but I just thought, you know. Sure, I know. 01:46.720 --> 01:53.640 Been doing quite a lot of traveling, haven't you, Mr. Javery? I see all them stickers on your bags. 01:53.640 --> 01:59.200 Oh, oh, yes, I've been out of the country. Room 610, 450 a day. Will that be all right, Mr. Javery? 01:59.200 --> 02:07.680 Sure.

I thought I'd tip you off to a good place to eat, see. You like 02:15.960 --> 02:22.240 steaks? When I get them? Better stop at Harry's place then. Best steaks between here and Chicago. 02:22.240 --> 02:27.000 Here's the address. I wrote it down for another fellow this morning, but he left before I could 02:27.000 --> 02:36.680 give it to him. Oh, well, thanks. You driving back east alone? Yes. Say, what did you say your name 02:36.680 --> 02:43.440 was? I didn't, but it's Brown, Steve Brown. Well, look, Mr. Brown, if you want a free ride east, 02:43.440 --> 02:49.240 why don't you just... Oh, me? No, no, no. I'm heading up to Portland, see. Oh, well, have a good trip, Mr. Brown. 02:49.240 --> 02:54.000 Same to you, Mr. Javery. Thanks. Don't forget to stop at Harry's place, Mr. Javery. I think you'll 02:54.000 --> 03:03.840 find it a very interesting spot. Very interesting. Mr. Javery. What is it? Did you notice a fellow 03:03.840 --> 03:07.840 with only one arm? No. Where? I didn't think you did. He said he was a friend of yours, 03:07.840 --> 03:12.520 but don't have nothing to do with him, Mr. Javery. He's no friend of yours. He's no friend of anybody. 03:12.520 --> 03:20.480 Don't have nothing to do with him. Oh, here's your drink, Mr. Javery. Thanks. Oh, did your friend find you, 03:20.480 --> 03:25.480 Mr. Javery? What friend? One arm fella. He was looking for you. He said I should keep my eye out 03:25.480 --> 03:32.120 for you. A one arm fri... a one arm man, Mr. Javery? I know. There's no guest at the hotel that answers 03:32.120 --> 03:43.880 that description. I tell you, I seen him coming out of your room, Mr. Javery. I don't know how he got in there, but I seen him coming out. 03:43.880 --> 03:47.880 You heard me. I'm checking out. If there's anything wrong... No, there's nothing wrong. I'm just checking out, 03:47.880 --> 03:51.800 that's all. But at three o'clock in the morning... Look, I said I'm checking out. Now, please get my 03:51.800 --> 04:01.680 bags out to the car. Just put them in the back of the car. Yes, sir. Now, look, kid. 04:01.680 --> 04:07.680 I've been waiting for the last time. Do you know? I don't know nothing, Mr. Javery. Honest. I don't know nothing. Okay, okay. Here. 04:07.680 --> 04:18.680 Gee, look, here he comes now. Hey, hey, wait a minute. Thanks, Mr. Javery. You going east, Mr.? Oh, oh, it's you, huh? 04:18.680 --> 04:26.680 Say, what's the big idea? What big idea? Now listen to me, my one armed friend. I can't help having one arm, Mr. 04:26.680 --> 04:30.680 All right, all right. But what's the idea of following me around? You've been following me ever since I got here. 04:30.680 --> 04:39.680 Oh, well, I'm sorry about that, Mr. So am I. Now, what about it? Well, you see, I'm kind of down on my luck, so I'm hitchhiking. 04:39.680 --> 04:48.680 I gotta get east, and I heard you were going east, so... Ah, you are going east, ain't you, Mr.? Well, yes. Yes, I am. 04:48.680 --> 05:04.680 Do you mind if I come along a piece? Oh, all right, hop in. Say, there's one thing you haven't explained to me yet. 05:04.680 --> 05:12.680 What's that? What were you doing in my room? Hitchhiking? I was never in your room. The bellboy said he saw you come out. 05:12.680 --> 05:20.680 I don't know what he said, but I was never in your room. Oh. That's kind of late to start driving, I guess. 05:20.680 --> 05:31.680 I don't mind. I am used to night work. Oh. Say, I don't think I got your name. Jones. One armed Jones, they call me mostly. 05:31.680 --> 05:43.680 You traveling far, Mr. Jones? As far as St. Louis. Have you been in San Francisco lately? No. No, I came by way of San Diego. 05:43.680 --> 05:52.680 Why do you ask, Mr. Javery? Oh, nothing. I thought I might have seen... What's the matter? How did you know my name? 05:52.680 --> 06:02.680 Your name? That's an old hitchhiker's gag. Hang around a hotel lobby and find out who's who and maybe where he's heading, see? 06:02.680 --> 06:12.680 Yeah. See? There doesn't seem to be much traffic tonight, does there? No. Are you looking for something? 06:12.680 --> 06:20.680 Oh, just reaching for a cigar. Get your hand out of your pocket! Get it out, I said! You don't have to pull a gun out. 06:20.680 --> 06:27.680 All right, Mr. Jones. Come on, let's have it. What's your game? Game? Yeah, your game. Come on, spill it. I don't get it. Neither do I. 06:27.680 --> 06:34.680 I suppose you haven't been tailing me ever since I checked into that hotel. Well, I explained about the hitchhiker. Get out! Out of the car? You heard me. 06:34.680 --> 06:51.680 Okay. But Mr. Javery? What? Don't be too surprised if you see me again sometime. Good night, Mr. Javery. 06:51.680 --> 07:02.680 Tonight for suspense, Roma wines bring you a star, Mr. Gene Kelly, whom you have heard in the prologue to Death Went Along for the Ride by Henry Denker and Ralph Berkey. 07:02.680 --> 07:12.680 Tonight's adventure in suspense. 07:12.680 --> 07:19.680 In this brief intermission in the play, let's imagine we're listening to a conversation taking place at the Smart Coral Beach and Tennis Club in Bermuda. 07:19.680 --> 07:29.680 An American about to depart for the States thanks his Bermudian friend for the gracious hospitality shown him, and in particular for the especially enjoyable wine his friend served. 07:29.680 --> 07:42.680 He remarks how much he'd like to be able to get some of that same wine at home. The Bermudian chuckles as he says, but my friend, that wine you enjoyed so much, it comes from the great wine districts of your own California. 07:42.680 --> 07:54.680 It is Roma wine. Yes, friends, many Americans are still not aware that Roma wines are so highly rated in many foreign lands that they are imported to be enjoyed as rare luxuries. 07:54.680 --> 08:07.680 But here in America, we can still enjoy the superb Roma wines as a daily pleasure, well within reach of the most modest purse, with no high import duty, no expensive shipping costs included. 08:07.680 --> 08:23.680 That's why Roma wines cost you so little. Have you been overlooking the enjoyment these richly satisfying Roma wines offer, as a delectable beverage at any time, as the addition that can make any meal an occasion, as a sure-to-be-appreciated offering to your guests when you entertain? 08:23.680 --> 08:34.680 You get some idea of the great worth of these fine Roma wines when you learn Roma wines are America's largest selling wines. I'll spell the name for you. 08:34.680 --> 08:41.680 R-O-M-A, Roma wines, made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. 08:41.680 --> 08:56.680 And now it is with pleasure that we bring back to our sound stage our star, Gene Kelly, as George Javery, in Death Went Along for the Ride, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 09:11.680 --> 09:18.680 All right, put them up. Come on, get them up and step out in front of those headlights where I can see you. 09:18.680 --> 09:20.680 Come on before I let you... 09:20.680 --> 09:22.680 Oh shoot, mister. 09:22.680 --> 09:25.680 Well, what do you want? 09:25.680 --> 09:28.680 Not to get shot right now. 09:28.680 --> 09:31.680 Oh, I'm sorry. 09:31.680 --> 09:33.680 Kind of jumpy, aren't you? 09:33.680 --> 09:36.680 Yeah, maybe. Were you going in at his joint here? 09:36.680 --> 09:38.680 Well, I was. 09:38.680 --> 09:41.680 Well, come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee. 09:41.680 --> 09:44.680 I think I earned it at that. 09:44.680 --> 09:48.680 Well, howdy, folks. Good to see somebody out kind of late, eh? 09:48.680 --> 09:51.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Black coffee, huh? How about you? 09:51.680 --> 09:53.680 The same, I guess. 09:53.680 --> 09:57.680 Look, I'm sorry, I frighten you. Say, what's your name? 09:57.680 --> 10:00.680 Eileen. Eileen Harrison. What's yours? 10:00.680 --> 10:07.680 George Javery. Say, what are you doing walking along a million miles from no place at this time of night? 10:07.680 --> 10:12.680 I started driving east in a $50 jalopy yesterday like a fool. It just fell apart on me. 10:12.680 --> 10:15.680 I was coming in here to phone or something. 10:15.680 --> 10:17.680 How far east are you going? 10:17.680 --> 10:18.680 Greenwich, Connecticut. 10:18.680 --> 10:21.680 I'm going to New York myself. You're welcome. I mean... 10:21.680 --> 10:22.680 Well, I... 10:22.680 --> 10:28.680 Oh, look, if you don't like me, you can always get out and start to walk again. What have you got to lose? 10:28.680 --> 10:31.680 Well, all right. Thanks. 10:31.680 --> 10:34.680 And I could use a little company right now. 10:34.680 --> 10:38.680 There you are. Piece of pie? Piece of pie, bud? 10:38.680 --> 10:40.680 Huh? Oh, oh, no. 10:40.680 --> 10:43.680 How about a hamburger? We got good hamburgers, you know. We got... 10:43.680 --> 10:45.680 No, no. No, just be quiet a minute, will you? 10:45.680 --> 10:46.680 Be quiet? Yeah. 10:46.680 --> 10:47.680 What's the matter? 10:47.680 --> 10:49.680 Shh. Shut up, another tovey. 10:49.680 --> 10:51.680 Sure, anything you say. 10:51.680 --> 10:53.680 Say, what's the matter with you? 10:53.680 --> 10:54.680 I'm listening for something, that's all. 10:54.680 --> 10:56.680 What? 10:56.680 --> 10:57.680 There he comes. 10:57.680 --> 10:59.680 Hey, where are you going? 10:59.680 --> 11:01.680 I wasn't it. 11:01.680 --> 11:03.680 Then what's going on, bud? You hot or something? 11:03.680 --> 11:06.680 No, there's a car out there. It's been following me for the last 200 miles. 11:06.680 --> 11:07.680 Yeah? How'd you know? 11:07.680 --> 11:10.680 I know it. I took a side road. He did too. 11:10.680 --> 11:14.680 I tried to duck him and he hung on. He kept following me. I'm sure that... 11:14.680 --> 11:17.680 Listen, listen, that must be it now. 11:19.680 --> 11:22.680 He's not coming in. He's waiting. 11:22.680 --> 11:24.680 For what? Me. 11:24.680 --> 11:27.680 Look, look, Eileen, here are the keys to the car. Go out and get it. 11:27.680 --> 11:29.680 I'll be waiting at the door. 11:29.680 --> 11:32.680 All right. No, no, go ahead. He won't hurt you. Hurry. 11:32.680 --> 11:33.680 Okay. 11:33.680 --> 11:36.680 Hey, mister, you ain't in trouble, are you? I don't want no trouble. 11:36.680 --> 11:39.680 Keep your shirt on. You'll be all right. Here. 11:39.680 --> 11:42.680 Don't you want your change? No, I'll keep it. 11:42.680 --> 11:45.680 Hop in. I'll slide over. Thanks. 11:48.680 --> 11:51.680 Look back now, baby. It seems that other car followed us. 11:51.680 --> 11:53.680 I don't think so. 11:53.680 --> 11:57.680 Say, look, pal, I don't want to be nosy, but... 11:57.680 --> 12:00.680 Eileen, I wouldn't kid you. I don't know what it is. 12:00.680 --> 12:02.680 Is anyone following us? 12:02.680 --> 12:05.680 No, I don't think so. Uh-oh. 12:05.680 --> 12:07.680 Lights. 12:07.680 --> 12:10.680 Well, that doesn't necessarily mean it's someone following us. 12:10.680 --> 12:13.680 No? How fast are we going now? 12:13.680 --> 12:16.680 About 60. All right, watch. 12:16.680 --> 12:20.680 Hey, please be careful, George. 12:20.680 --> 12:23.680 George? I'll be careful. Is he coming? 12:23.680 --> 12:26.680 Uh-huh. I think he's gaining on us. 12:26.680 --> 12:29.680 Yeah, I thought so. Well, we'll see how much this guy wants to play. 12:29.680 --> 12:31.680 He had a pretty big car, you know. 12:31.680 --> 12:34.680 Yeah, I know. Is he still gaining? 12:34.680 --> 12:36.680 He's closing up pretty fast. 12:36.680 --> 12:39.680 I can't stand this much longer, and I'm going to do something about it. 12:39.680 --> 12:42.680 What are you going to do? I'm going to pull to one side, slam on the brakes, and see what happens. 12:42.680 --> 12:46.680 George! I'll force him into the ditch if I have to. It's what he's trying to do to us. 12:46.680 --> 12:48.680 Hang on. George! 12:48.680 --> 12:50.680 He's passing. He's going to hit us. 12:50.680 --> 12:51.680 I'm trying to. 12:51.680 --> 12:53.680 He's going to turn over. 12:59.680 --> 13:01.680 Come on, let's get out of here. 13:01.680 --> 13:04.680 He... He must have been killed. 13:04.680 --> 13:07.680 Yeah. Did you see him as we hit? 13:07.680 --> 13:09.680 Just for a second. 13:09.680 --> 13:11.680 You notice anything about him? 13:11.680 --> 13:12.680 Not much. 13:12.680 --> 13:18.680 Well, I did. He was a man with only one arm. 13:29.680 --> 13:32.680 Well, this is that Harry's place that guy told me about. 13:32.680 --> 13:33.680 You sure you like steak? 13:33.680 --> 13:34.680 Who doesn't? 13:34.680 --> 13:38.680 Well, this is the place for you then. Find a steak beside Chicago, they tell me. 13:38.680 --> 13:42.680 Come on. 13:45.680 --> 13:46.680 Table for two, sir? 13:46.680 --> 13:47.680 Yeah, please. 13:47.680 --> 13:49.680 Right this way. 13:52.680 --> 13:54.680 Right here.

Thanks. 13:55.680 --> 13:56.680 And, madame? 13:56.680 --> 13:57.680 Thank you. 13:57.680 --> 14:00.680 Two steaks, please. Both medium rare. All right? 14:00.680 --> 14:04.680 Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. 14:04.680 --> 14:08.680 George, to get back to our little problem. 14:08.680 --> 14:09.680 Our little problem? 14:09.680 --> 14:12.680 All right, so it's your problem and I'm stuck with it. 14:12.680 --> 14:15.680 Are you sure you don't have any enemies? 14:15.680 --> 14:18.680 How could I have been out of the country for over a year? 14:18.680 --> 14:20.680 I didn't have any when I left. 14:20.680 --> 14:24.680 Well, could there be any connection with that work you were doing with the Chinese government? 14:24.680 --> 14:26.680 Oh, not a chance. I... 14:26.680 --> 14:31.680 Well, look, I don't know any secret plans and I'm no agent, X-9, and all that's out. 14:31.680 --> 14:34.680 Well, maybe it's all just a coincidence. 14:34.680 --> 14:39.680 Oh, sure. One armed guy tags me all over Reno, then says he's a poor hitchhiker. 14:39.680 --> 14:41.680 Then he acts like he's trying to pull a stick up, 14:41.680 --> 14:43.680 and then a hundred miles beyond where I've dropped him, 14:43.680 --> 14:46.680 he shows up in a big Cadillac. Just a coincidence. 14:46.680 --> 14:47.680 Call for Mr. Javery. 14:47.680 --> 14:48.680 George. 14:48.680 --> 14:52.680 Telephone for Mr. Javery. Call for George Javery. 14:52.680 --> 14:55.680 Yeah, another coincidence. 14:55.680 --> 14:56.680 What are you supposing? 14:56.680 --> 14:57.680 I don't know, but I'm going to find out. 14:57.680 --> 14:58.680 George, don't. 14:58.680 --> 15:00.680 Come on, we'll both go answer it. 15:00.680 --> 15:01.680 Are you Mr. Javery? 15:01.680 --> 15:02.680 Yeah. 15:02.680 --> 15:05.680 Well, that's good.
