1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Autolight and its 96,000 dealers present...

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
...Stars Spence!

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Tonight, Autolight brings you the story of an accidental death and an attempted escape.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Death on my hands, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Hi, Harlow.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Well, flood my carburetor if it isn't Oscar the Orating Auto. What's up?

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
My hood, Harlow. It's been nearly 5,000 miles since my last spark plug check.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And you're set for a session with your Autolight spark plug dealer, eh, Oscar?

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
His exclusive new plug check indicator will quickly show the condition of your spark plugs...

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
...and whether they're right for your style of driving.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I'm not up to par, Harlow. I've lost my usual pep on the hills and I'm using too much gasoline.

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Well, if the plug check indicator shows your spark plugs need cleaning or adjustments...

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
...your Autolight spark plug dealer has all the equipment to do the job right.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And if my plugs are worn out, Harlow?

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Then he'll replace the worn out spark plugs with ignition-engineered Autolight...

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
...resistor-type or standard-type spark plugs to give you smoother performance, quick starts and gas savings.

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So, friends, have your spark plugs checked regularly.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
And when you do, see your neighborhood Autolight spark plug dealer.

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And remember, you're always right with Autolight.

20
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And now with death on my hands and the performances of Alice Faye and Phil Harris...

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
...Autolight hopes once again to keep you in suspense.

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I won't mention the name of the town. It won't help any.

23
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I don't think I'll even tell you what part of the country it's in.

24
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
It's just a place in a long valley with hundred-year-old elms and hills you can't stop looking at.

25
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
And the people? Well, maybe they're not much different than anybody else.

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Twenty-five hundred of them.

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
The kids went to schools with big lawns and long walks.

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And the men walked up Oak Street from the mills right after the five o'clock whistle.

29
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Some stopped for a beer at Mike's or the Green Rooster or Eddie's Tavern.

30
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
And some went right on home.

31
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Sounds wonderfully ordinary, doesn't it?

32
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
That's what I thought. Until they tried to hang me.

33
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Dixie! Dixie!

34
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Oh, Dixie!

35
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I can't believe it.

36
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
It's me, all right. I saw you from across the street.

37
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
What in the world are you doing in this little town, Julia?

38
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Oh, just getting a little rest.

39
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Don't give me that. Your idea of rest was always to sit in an air-conditioned cocktail lounge.

40
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Gee, you look good.

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Well, what about you? I wish you'd have stayed with the band, Julia.

42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
I just felt like drifting, Dixie.

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Where did you drift?

44
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
All over. Ended up with a carnival.

45
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
A carnival?

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I saw the posters about you and the band playing for the high school dance tonight.

47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I couldn't believe it.

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Well, you don't get young doing one-nighters, but you see a lot of country and some swell people.

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You, for example.

50
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
How are all the boys?

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Well, I'm the only one of the original bunch left.

52
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
No.

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Yeah. Sugar Thompson went with Kenton.

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Bill Candoli joined the circus in Cleveland, married a snake charmer.

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Oh, no.

56
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Yeah. And then Squeak Hanley lost himself up with the law in Virginia.

57
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
You know how it goes. I got all new sidemen now, just kids.

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Yeah. Things change, don't they?

59
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Yeah, they do.

60
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Hey, look, Julia, why don't you drop in at the dance?

61
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
They'd think I was an old science teacher.

62
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Nah, you'll knock them dead.

63
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
No. No, look, Dixie, I want to talk to you.

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I'm at the embassy, across from the railroad station, the only hotel in town.

65
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
I'll see you after the dance, outside.

66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And we'll have a sandwich and a drink and a talk, huh?

67
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Okay. That's the way you want it.

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Look, it's the high school auditorium, you know.

69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Uh-huh.

70
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Well, I'll see you.

71
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Dixie.

72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Yeah.

73
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Who's singing in my place now?

74
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Me.

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
We walked opposite directions and caught each other looking back a couple of times.

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
She looked good.

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
But then she always had.

78
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
There had never been anything wrong with how Julia looked.

79
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
That night at the high school dance, I played like I hadn't played for weeks.

80
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Man, that band caught fire.

81
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
You should have seen the faces of those kids dancing by the bandstand.

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
They looked at me as if I invented music.

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
And me, a third-rate clarinet player.

84
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Trouble was as far from my mind as Carnegie Hall is from Bop City.

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000
It was backstage after the dance that the bubble blew up in my face.

86
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Here's the lute, boss.

87
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Look at it. Big, coarse notes.

88
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Yeah, what does it come to, Teddy?

89
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Well, a cashier says 1,200 rounds of simoleons.

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
But I'd count it myself.

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
That's not bad for this town.

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Listen, it's a lot better than standing on Vine Street waiting for a recording date.

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I'll take this kind of lute any day in a week.

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah, I'd better put this in my bag.

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Man, that bag must be loaded by now.

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
I got two weeks' take in there.

97
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
But I'll drop it in the bank when we get to Kansas City.

98
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Are you still carrying that gun for protection?

99
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Yeah, Ted, right here.

100
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I wouldn't know how to use it, though.

101
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Loaded?

102
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Every chamber. See?

103
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Those things give me the creeps.

104
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Hey, what else you got in that bag?

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Just some publicity pictures of me.

106
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I'm gonna get some new ones, though.

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Get them while you're young.

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
When they start camouflaging those age lines in your face,

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
the cost goes up by leaps and bounds.

110
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Yeah, I know, I know.

111
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Teddy, tell the boys I'll be at the next stop tomorrow.

112
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Oh? Who'd you tie up with?

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Julia.

114
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
She here? Well, I'll be darned.

115
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Small world, huh? What's she doing now?

116
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
I'll tell you tomorrow.

117
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
We got about six years talking to do in eight hours.

118
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Now get on out of here, huh?

119
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Yeah, right, boss.

120
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Duh, duh, dah, ding, ding, dah.

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Bah, bah, dah, ding, ding.

122
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Come in, come in!

123
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I'll be with you in a minute, Julie. I just want...

124
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
My name isn't Julia. It's Emily.

125
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Oh.

126
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Oh, Emily. Hello.

127
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
What can I do for you?

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Well, they all dared me to come in

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,260
We liked your music. Well, bless you

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,180
So you liked it, huh? Never had such a good band at our dance before it was like having Benny Goodman

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,140
Well, now aren't you sweet? I'll tell Benny when I say him. Do you have a picture I could have?

132
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Well, I don't have any real good ones

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,920
But hey, I'll tell you what you give me your name and address and I'll send you one autographed with love to Emily

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,840
My prettiest fan I can see some in that suitcase. No, those aren't any good. They're kind of old

135
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,760
I mean, I just gotta get one. They dared me. All right, but don't pull that suitcase kid. Look out

136
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,100
Yeah, yeah, what did you do?

137
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:35,060
She fell to the floor and her head suddenly spurted red

138
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520
For a moment. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do

139
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Then I bent over and I picked her up and I ran to find the nearest doctor

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,960
I ran almost four blocks with people staring at me like I was crazy. I couldn't even feel myself

141
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,540
I was just a thought get to a doctor get to a doctor

142
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,560
And I finally did she died instantly. No doctor in the world could help her

143
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Then on it was a nightmare

144
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,560
There's only four policemen in town and they were all handling highway traffic 30 miles away because of a big mill fire

145
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:17,640
I told the doctor and the people who crowd around me that I'd stay in town and face a police inquest the next morning

146
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,240
There was some grumbles some nasty words

147
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Nobody stopped me from checking in at the Embassy Hotel

148
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,520
But I was there only an hour when I realized I wasn't gonna get off that easily

149
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,560
Group of men formed outside the hotel and stood looking up at my window

150
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440
And all of a sudden I realized

151
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,680
They wanted to lynch me

152
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:56,320
Listen now listen down there. I know you're there. You don't need no rocks through no windows. You don't need any lousy notes

153
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,320
I know why you're there

154
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
You're never gonna use a rope on me never do you understand never

155
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Oh

156
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,720
What do you want who you're doing all the shouting yet

157
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,400
Then

158
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,120
Those people down there if you can call them people they threw a note through the window on a rock

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,560
They want me for killing that girl. Maybe I can help you. What can you do?

160
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Don't kick a friendship in the face Dixie. You never know when it'll come in handy. Yeah, tell me all about

161
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,020
Look at him down there watching the window like hound dogs with a treed possum Dixie

162
00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:49,440
Why don't you think of something to do instead of just burning off steam? Thank

163
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,780
The past hour I've thought more than that Greek philosopher did in a lifetime

164
00:09:53,780 --> 00:09:59,740
But it all boils down to me ending up with a tag on my toe. Oh, I wish I could help

165
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,260
Look, what are you hanging around me for?

166
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:07,060
They might try to do something to you if they find out you've been nice to me. I'll take my chances

167
00:10:07,060 --> 00:10:09,060
I got nothing else to do. Oh

168
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:11,100
Thanks

169
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,060
Don't waste your time. I don't think it's gonna pay off

170
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:17,100
You know what? They make me feel like a criminal

171
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:22,540
They found my car. They did. Yeah, somebody told the manager. What's his name? Abdo?

172
00:10:22,540 --> 00:10:23,660
No

173
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:26,060
Cars three miles north of here in an empty riverbed

174
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,540
Burned to a crisp

175
00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:32,940
The only thing in the world I know Dixie don't let it get you but how much do they want?

176
00:10:34,180 --> 00:10:38,260
Julie an accident is an accident. That means it wasn't done on purpose

177
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:41,980
she grabbed the bag and the gun went off and

178
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:48,900
She would she would just a little kid Dixie Dixie stop it

179
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:52,860
You're not doing yourself any good this way. It could happen to anyone

180
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:58,420
To me or the people next door or or even a one of them down there

181
00:10:59,340 --> 00:11:02,500
Come on, sweetheart and sit down here with me. Wait a minute

182
00:11:03,620 --> 00:11:05,540
What is it Dixie?

183
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:12,380
More of them and they got guns now not just clubs and ropes guns get away from that window. Maybe I don't want to

184
00:11:12,940 --> 00:11:16,740
Maybe I could get them to shoot me from here and then it well it'd be over with like that

185
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:18,740
Get back from that window. Come on

186
00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:20,260
Let go of me

187
00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:24,860
They wouldn't shoot they want their fun later. Do what I say

188
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:29,660
You gotta think Dixie. You gotta think of some way to get out of here

189
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:32,900
Sorry that girl get killed

190
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,500
Sorry as an honest man can be but

191
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:40,420
Well, there's no point in dying to prove it. I thank God understands Dixie

192
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,900
Just another rock. No, it isn't look what the

193
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:50,740
Oh, never mind Dixie. It's what you said. Wait a minute now. It's something else. What is it? Don't hide it from me

194
00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:52,740
Give it to me. Oh

195
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:55,380
Oh

196
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:57,380
Shoe one of her shoes

197
00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:01,980
What are they gonna throw up next her body Dixie, let me take it

198
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,500
Let them keep it

199
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,500
You dirty dirty

200
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:11,460
Dixie Dixie

201
00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:17,220
Dixie Dixie there was only something we could do there isn't

202
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:24,220
When people get like that, they're they're just as well. I'm not gonna let this happen. I'm not gonna do you listen

203
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:27,140
They're breaking the door down

204
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:30,900
They're coming in we've got to get out of here somehow get out

205
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:35,420
There's no way to get out now now go back to your room. Julie. I won't I said go on

206
00:12:35,420 --> 00:12:40,300
Too light Dixie. They're coming down the hall. Oh

207
00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:56,700
Light is bringing you Phil Harris and Alice Faye in death on my hands

208
00:12:57,620 --> 00:13:01,120
tonight's production in radios outstanding theater of thrills

209
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,120
suspense

210
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,520
Yippee

211
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Why the loud levity my loquacious limousine?

212
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,520
I just visited my neighborhood auto light spark plug dealer Harlow

213
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:27,320
Did he check your spark plugs with the nimble nemesis of nefarious spark plugs the auto light plug check indicator?

214
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Yes, sir Harlow and it showed that my plugs were not functioning properly

215
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,880
So he replaced those worn out spark plugs with the matchless magic

216
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,700
Manifested by the multiple magnificence of ignition engineered auto light spark plugs a Oscar right now

217
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,680
I'm giving smoother performance quick starts and gas savings

218
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,680
Well, it pays to see your neighborhood auto light spark plug dealer

219
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,520
He carries ignition engineered auto light spark plugs the world famous spark plugs

220
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:02,380
That are designed by the same engineers who design complete ignition system for many leading makes of our finest car

221
00:14:02,380 --> 00:14:05,760
And I'm off for a spring fling so long

222
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:16,040
So friends see your neighborhood auto light spark plug dealer soon and have him replace worn out spark plugs with ignition engineered

223
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:23,220
Auto light resistor type or standard type spark plugs. Remember, you're always right with auto light

224
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:27,900
And now auto light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage

225
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:34,660
Alice Faye and Phil Harris in Elliott Lewis's production of death on my hands a

226
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:37,220
Tale well calculated to keep you in

227
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:52,420
Suspense

228
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:54,420
Quiet, Junior, don't make any noise

229
00:14:54,420 --> 00:14:56,420
It only sounds like one person

230
00:14:56,420 --> 00:14:58,420
One person can carry a gun

231
00:14:58,420 --> 00:15:02,420
Couldn't be them Dixie, they wouldn't knock

232
00:15:02,420 --> 00:15:04,420
Who is it?

233
00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:08,420
Abdo, the hotel owner, let me in

234
00:15:08,420 --> 00:15:10,420
All right

235
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:16,420
What's on your mind?

236
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:18,420
They broke in the door downstairs

237
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:20,420
I stopped them in the lobby

238
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,420
They had ropes and guns

239
00:15:22,420 --> 00:15:24,420
Thank you Abdo

240
00:15:24,420 --> 00:15:26,420
Don't thank me

241
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:28,420
I told them that they couldn't come in after you

242
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:30,420
But that you would go out

243
00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:32,420
You don't mean that

244
00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:34,420
Within 15 minutes

245
00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:38,420
Abdo, let me stay a little longer in the name of humanity till I can dope this out

246
00:15:38,420 --> 00:15:40,420
I got enough money

247
00:15:40,420 --> 00:15:42,420
I don't worry about money

248
00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:44,420
Well, what have you got to lose?

249
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:46,420
Listen, I give you a break

250
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:50,420
They could have come in here and got you and torn you up in little pieces

251
00:15:50,420 --> 00:15:52,420
But I said no

252
00:15:52,420 --> 00:15:54,420
One little word

253
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:56,420
Now long after you are gone, I have to live in this town

254
00:15:56,420 --> 00:15:58,420
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

255
00:15:58,420 --> 00:16:00,420
That's the way things work

256
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:02,420
What's the matter with this town?

257
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:04,420
Why does it act the way it does?

258
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:06,420
After what you did, you expect them to treat you with broadly love?

259
00:16:06,420 --> 00:16:10,420
You've got to be born here before they think you're human?

260
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:14,420
There's a lot of world outside this flea-bitten town and most of it's better

261
00:16:14,420 --> 00:16:18,420
They should be happy that someone brings a little of it in with them once in a while

262
00:16:18,420 --> 00:16:20,420
What you brought in was tragedy

263
00:16:20,420 --> 00:16:22,420
But it was an accident, a statistic

264
00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:26,420
The kind of thing insurance companies make a fortune predicting

265
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:28,420
Don't blame me, blame that big wheel of chance

266
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:30,420
Jixie

267
00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:33,420
I just didn't get the right number on this spin, that's all

268
00:16:33,420 --> 00:16:38,420
Well, you've got now 30 minutes to think of another one

269
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,420
What can I do for you, Jixie?

270
00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:47,420
Tell me something

271
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:48,420
Just let me alone

272
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:50,420
Well, I'm going to do something anyway

273
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:54,420
Did you turn on the radio?

274
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:55,420
I turned on the radio

275
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:56,420
Turn it off

276
00:16:56,420 --> 00:16:57,420
I'm not going to

277
00:16:57,420 --> 00:16:58,420
Turn it off

278
00:16:58,420 --> 00:16:59,420
I'm not going to

279
00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:01,420
What do you want music for?

280
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:02,420
Because I want to dance

281
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:03,420
Are you crazy?

282
00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:05,420
Ah, come on, Jixie, dance with me

283
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:08,420
Come on, it used to take your mind off things

284
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:10,420
Oh, I know, but I...

285
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:12,420
Ah, come on, come on, that's it

286
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:15,420
Oh, pull me closer, Jixie

287
00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:19,420
Oh, I wish this hadn't happened

288
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:22,420
So I could enjoy you, Julia

289
00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:26,420
Let's just pretend this is the future

290
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:29,420
And we're dancing somewhere in love and...

291
00:17:29,420 --> 00:17:34,420
How can I think like that when all I can see are those guys down there loading buckshot and guns just to...

292
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:37,420
Jixie, Jixie, just dance

293
00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:40,420
But I can still think

294
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:43,420
Oh, honey, this is wonderful

295
00:17:44,420 --> 00:17:48,420
You know, I've played for a lot of dances

296
00:17:48,420 --> 00:17:52,420
I never realized until now what it does to you inside

297
00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:54,420
What does it do to you, Jixie?

298
00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:57,420
Makes me wish I'd have gone to high school

299
00:17:57,420 --> 00:18:00,420
I never got there

300
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:03,420
That was Early Autumn done by the Woody Herman Aggregate

301
00:18:03,420 --> 00:18:05,420
The band that plays the blues

302
00:18:05,420 --> 00:18:08,420
Not that you're blue right now

303
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:14,420
And this is Charlie Schaefer, your early evening platter party host on KNOK

304
00:18:14,420 --> 00:18:18,420
And I want to remind you that if you have any request whatsoever

305
00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:20,420
Just dial KNOK

306
00:18:20,420 --> 00:18:22,420
The switchboards are waiting

307
00:18:22,420 --> 00:18:26,420
Now, how about a little bit of Glenn Miller, In the Mood?

308
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:30,420
How do you like that?

309
00:18:30,420 --> 00:18:32,420
I can request any tune in the world

310
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:34,420
But I can't save my life

311
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:36,420
What a great place to live

312
00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:37,420
Let's dance some more

313
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:39,420
Yeah, yeah, what should I request?

314
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:42,420
Don't break the news to Mother or maybe I'm in the mood for life, huh?

315
00:18:42,420 --> 00:18:44,420
Oh, Jixie, don't talk like that

316
00:18:45,420 --> 00:18:47,420
Jixie?

317
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:51,420
Give me the railroad station

318
00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:53,420
Um, freight division

319
00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:54,420
Jixie, what are you doing?

320
00:18:54,420 --> 00:18:55,420
Stop talking

321
00:18:55,420 --> 00:18:57,420
Hello? Hello?

322
00:18:57,420 --> 00:19:01,420
Um, what time does the next freight train leave?

323
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:07,420
Yeah, I have some valuable freight I want to put on board

324
00:19:08,420 --> 00:19:11,420
Oh, an hour, huh?

325
00:19:11,420 --> 00:19:14,420
Are you sure the time? Exactly one hour?

326
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:18,420
Well, I guess there wouldn't be time tonight

327
00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:20,420
Thanks anyway

328
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:22,420
Jixie, you just couldn't get to that train

329
00:19:22,420 --> 00:19:24,420
It's my only chance, but I need an hour

330
00:19:24,420 --> 00:19:26,420
An hour of safety to get to it

331
00:19:26,420 --> 00:19:27,420
I'll be right back, Jixie

332
00:19:27,420 --> 00:19:28,420
Where are you going?

333
00:19:28,420 --> 00:19:31,420
To find a policeman or to talk to those men or to do something

334
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:33,420
The police are all over in another town

335
00:19:33,420 --> 00:19:34,420
They couldn't get here in time

336
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:36,420
You just wait here, I'll be right back

337
00:19:36,420 --> 00:19:41,420
Emily, if anybody caught me on my knees like this talking to you

338
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:44,420
I suppose they'd think I was crazy

339
00:19:44,420 --> 00:19:46,420
But I'm not

340
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:50,420
Emily, you know it was an accident

341
00:19:50,420 --> 00:19:52,420
Pure and simple

342
00:19:52,420 --> 00:19:54,420
It wasn't my fault

343
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:56,420
Only the police

344
00:19:56,420 --> 00:19:58,420
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

345
00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:00,420
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

346
00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:02,420
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

347
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:04,420
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

348
00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:06,420
It wasn't my fault

349
00:20:06,420 --> 00:20:08,420
Only nobody really believes it

350
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:11,420
They're waiting for me outside

351
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:13,420
Your people

352
00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:16,420
And they want me in exchange for you

353
00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:18,420
Only it isn't an exchange

354
00:20:18,420 --> 00:20:20,420
It's just blood revenge

355
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:22,420
An eye for an eye

356
00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:24,420
And it doesn't make sense

357
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:30,420
I know that saying all this will never do you any good

358
00:20:30,420 --> 00:20:35,420
But Emily, I just wanted you to hear how sorry I am

359
00:20:35,420 --> 00:20:40,420
How deeply and tragically sorry I am

360
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:43,420
Emily, have a good long rest

361
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:46,420
Maybe someday I'll meet you in person again

362
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:49,420
And we'll talk about it

363
00:20:49,420 --> 00:21:01,420
And that someday might be the day

364
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:04,420
Hey, what are you doing down in the lobby, young lady?

365
00:21:04,420 --> 00:21:05,420
Where are you going?

366
00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:07,420
Mr. Abdo, we've just got to do something

367
00:21:07,420 --> 00:21:09,420
Get some police or get rid of those men out there

368
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:12,420
I have long ago sent somebody for the police

369
00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:14,420
But I don't expect them to get here

370
00:21:14,420 --> 00:21:16,420
Why don't you let him stay here longer?

371
00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:19,420
Because I can only hold these men a while

372
00:21:19,420 --> 00:21:21,420
After that they come in

373
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:23,420
I don't want to see it

374
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:25,420
Why do these men want him?

375
00:21:25,420 --> 00:21:29,420
I don't want to talk anymore

376
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:31,420
Well, I'm going to find out

377
00:21:34,420 --> 00:21:36,420
Where are you going, lady?

378
00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:38,420
I want to ask you why you want Dixie

379
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:40,420
That ought to be plain

380
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:42,420
He didn't kill that girl

381
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:43,420
It wasn't his fault

382
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:45,420
You must have a better reason

383
00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:47,420
Whose little girl was it?

384
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:52,420
Yours? Or yours? Whose?

385
00:21:52,420 --> 00:21:54,420
Is that why you want him?

386
00:21:54,420 --> 00:21:56,420
Because it was one of your children?

387
00:21:56,420 --> 00:21:58,420
Lady, you'd better go on about your business

388
00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:00,420
And leave ours to us

389
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:15,420
We've got our own reasons for getting that skunk

390
00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:17,420
What did you find out, Julia? What happened?

391
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:19,420
Abdo's been trying to get the police

392
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:21,420
They won't come, don't worry

393
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:24,420
How many of their neighbors do you think they'll shoot down to save me?

394
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:26,420
I don't know, Dixie, I don't know

395
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:28,420
Look, I've got five minutes, that's all

396
00:22:28,420 --> 00:22:30,420
Five minutes to walk out of here

397
00:22:30,420 --> 00:22:32,420
And I need it now

398
00:22:32,420 --> 00:22:34,420
I'm sure the ringleader of that gang would

399
00:22:34,420 --> 00:22:36,420
I talked with him

400
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:38,420
I'm sure he's the father

401
00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:40,420
Oh, let's see

402
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:42,420
I give up

403
00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:44,420
But you can't, Dixie, you can't

404
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:46,420
What do you expect me to do? Perform a miracle?

405
00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:48,420
It's Abdo

406
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:50,420
Let me in

407
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:56,420
Are you ready to go, son?

408
00:22:56,420 --> 00:22:58,420
No, I'm not ready to go

409
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:00,420
I've still got five minutes

410
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:02,420
You must have made a mistake with the time

411
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,420
Your time is up

412
00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:06,420
It is like... Look at this watch

413
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:08,420
Look at it, still better than four minutes

414
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:10,420
I'm sorry, but now is the time

415
00:23:10,420 --> 00:23:12,420
Before they come in the hotel after you

416
00:23:12,420 --> 00:23:14,420
I don't get it

417
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:16,420
I don't get this whole setup

418
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:18,420
Why did you bother to stop them once

419
00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:20,420
If you send me out to them now?

420
00:23:20,420 --> 00:23:22,420
I did what I felt I must do

421
00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:24,420
For me, that was enough

422
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:26,420
Well, I'm not going

423
00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:28,420
Do you understand? I'm not going

424
00:23:28,420 --> 00:23:30,420
They'll have to work to get me

425
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:32,420
Haven't you done enough to me already?

426
00:23:34,420 --> 00:23:36,420
To you?

427
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:38,420
The little girl you... who was killed

428
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:42,420
Was my little girl

429
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:48,420
Mr. Abdo, I'm...

430
00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:50,420
I'm really sorry

431
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:52,420
I'll go

432
00:23:52,420 --> 00:23:54,420
You won't have any more trouble

433
00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:56,420
From me

434
00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:58,420
I'm going with you, Dixie

435
00:23:58,420 --> 00:24:00,420
Yeah

436
00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:02,420
I'll turn off the lights in the lobby

437
00:24:02,420 --> 00:24:04,420
At my house

438
00:24:04,420 --> 00:24:06,420
Shall we take the elevator?

439
00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:08,420
No, I need the stairs

440
00:24:08,420 --> 00:24:10,420
I want to make it last as long as I can

441
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:14,420
Dixie

442
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,420
You must see I want to cry

443
00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:18,420
Why?

444
00:24:18,420 --> 00:24:20,420
Because it wouldn't help

445
00:24:20,420 --> 00:24:22,420
I'm having trouble enough seeing now

446
00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:26,420
I'll go out with you and fight

447
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:28,420
Let me, Dixie

448
00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:30,420
You're going to stay right here in this lobby

449
00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:32,420
You said you'd do anything for me

450
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:34,420
And that's what I want you to do

451
00:24:34,420 --> 00:24:36,420
How are you going to do it?

452
00:24:36,420 --> 00:24:38,420
I'm going out

453
00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:40,420
Turn right alongside the building

454
00:24:40,420 --> 00:24:42,420
And then I'm going to run

455
00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:44,420
Run, you hear me?

456
00:24:44,420 --> 00:24:46,420
Then maybe somewhere, somehow, I can find help

457
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:48,420
Dixie, I love you

458
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,420
Good

459
00:24:50,420 --> 00:24:52,420
Take it easy

460
00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:02,420
Hold it and stay right where you are

461
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:04,420
Why should I?

462
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:06,420
Shut up! Now if you know what's good for you

463
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:08,420
Walk over to that car and make it fast

464
00:25:08,420 --> 00:25:10,420
Take that gun out of my face

465
00:25:10,420 --> 00:25:12,420
Do what I tell you and stop talking

466
00:25:12,420 --> 00:25:14,420
There he is!

467
00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:16,420
Hey, what do you think you're trying to do?

468
00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:18,420
I said stay where you are

469
00:25:18,420 --> 00:25:20,420
I'll put a bullet to the face of the first man who moves

470
00:25:20,420 --> 00:25:22,420
Are you going to let a guy get away with a crime like that?

471
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:24,420
Baby killing?

472
00:25:24,420 --> 00:25:26,420
Whatever it is, come on, guys

473
00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:28,420
The next one will go through somebody's head

474
00:25:28,420 --> 00:25:30,420
I want you to notice this badge on my coat

475
00:25:30,420 --> 00:25:32,420
You people pay me to protect you and everybody

476
00:25:32,420 --> 00:25:34,420
Against lawlessness in this town

477
00:25:34,420 --> 00:25:36,420
And I'm going to earn my money

478
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:38,420
Whether you want me to or not

479
00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:40,420
Some more police will be here in two minutes

480
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:42,420
And anybody standing around will be arrested

481
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:44,420
Now go on home

482
00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:46,420
Break this up! All the fun is over

483
00:25:50,420 --> 00:25:52,420
Can you drive?

484
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,420
Thank you, officer

485
00:25:54,420 --> 00:25:56,420
I said can you drive?

486
00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:58,420
Well, I could, yes, but I don't know now

487
00:25:58,420 --> 00:26:00,420
My knees...

488
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:02,420
Well, try. I've got to be ready for anything

489
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:04,420
Where do I go?

490
00:26:04,420 --> 00:26:06,420
The jail. That's all right, mister

491
00:26:06,420 --> 00:26:12,420
I'll be there in a minute

492
00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:22,420
Hello

493
00:26:22,420 --> 00:26:24,420
Hello, Julia

494
00:26:24,420 --> 00:26:26,420
Would you care to go and get that sandwich

495
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:28,420
We talked about a thousand years ago

496
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,420
Oh, I'd love to, Dixie

497
00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:32,420
What did they say?

498
00:26:32,420 --> 00:26:34,420
The coroner acquitted me ten minutes ago

499
00:26:34,420 --> 00:26:36,420
Accidental homicide

500
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:38,420
Oh, that's wonderful

501
00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:40,420
Well, what are you going to do now, Dixie?

502
00:26:40,420 --> 00:26:42,420
Oh, just catch up with the band

503
00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:44,420
And drift, I guess

504
00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:46,420
Dixie, I don't suppose I could...

505
00:26:46,420 --> 00:26:48,420
Go back with the band?

506
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:50,420
Well, just singing, that's all

507
00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:52,420
You could do a bigger job than that if you want to

508
00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:54,420
You mean it?

509
00:26:54,420 --> 00:26:56,420
Sure. Look, here's your wedding ring

510
00:26:56,420 --> 00:27:04,420
You know, I never threw it away

511
00:27:26,420 --> 00:27:34,420
And as this is Harlow Wilcox again to remind you that Autolite is the world's largest independent manufacturer of automotive electrical equipment

512
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:41,420
Autolite makes over 400 products for cars, trucks, tractors, planes, and boats in 28 plants from coast to coast

513
00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:46,420
These products include world-famous ignition-engineered Autolite spark plugs

514
00:27:46,420 --> 00:27:50,420
which are carried by your neighborhood Autolite spark plug dealer

515
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:58,420
You'll see him soon and have worn-out spark plugs replaced with ignition-engineered Autolite resistor-type or standard-type spark plugs

516
00:27:58,420 --> 00:28:01,420
for smoother performance, quick starts, and gas savings

517
00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:05,420
And remember, you're always right with Autolite

518
00:28:05,420 --> 00:28:11,420
Next week on Suspense, our star will be Mr. Charles Boyer in Another Man's Poison

519
00:28:11,420 --> 00:28:17,420
And in weeks to come, you will hear such famous stars as Jeff Chandler and Dick Powell on...

520
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:20,420
Suspense

521
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:27,420
