[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Wayne the papers blowing up the Renee [Music] oh I'm done just a question of protecting it from Sun and dust how could I get along without you Wayne how can I ever repay you that's all darling remember how looks makes me sick Oh can't we forget about Harlem he said it's important I have to show you some consideration don't I darling after all he is my husband [Music] hello your wife drive a yellow convertible used to be my convertible she's here right on time quite a stunning woman - you're sure you don't want her back I don't want her back I'd like to have the convertible it's a good car that's huh yes dad you were you to stay in the study keep your fingers crossed I'll yell if I need you come on Carolyn it was sweet of you to invite me well what have you been up to these days hard-working careful martini what I've been reading about you in the newspapers they think about me about the Carroll and grant art studio one columnist in particular seems to be giving you quite a lot of free publicity writes for The Daily Chronicle it's Wayne Vincent it's the studio really owes a lot to mr. Vincent and not just from his plugs in his column either you might call him a silent partner do you employ him in a way yes as you know art critics don't make much money so on the side for a small fee mr. Vincent helps me select the right paintings for the right prices Carolyn I'll get to the point no doubt you're wondering why I asked you here naturally I want a divorce hello I seem to recall a certain day almost two years ago when you and I agreed that our temperaments just wouldn't make for a happy marriage at that time I suggested divorce myself you were the one who wanted this arrangement for living separately seems simpler that way besides I I never dreamed I'd want to marry again sounds like you're in love can you think of any reason why I shouldn't be yes I can think of one reason what's that you're already married that's why I'm asking you to divorce me but Harlow I'm quite happy with our present arrangement you know I've been reading the papers to your company seems to be expanding by the day now why should I agree to a set alimony when under the present arrangement my own income expands with yours we're not living together yet I pay the bills as if we were man and wife we are a man and what perhaps you're lonely darling perhaps you'd like me to move back with you again perish the thought the only way you can perish that thought is to pay for it I am paying for it continue to pay for it on the first of every month Carolyn when a man pays for his freedom he'd like to enjoy that freedom but harder the courts don't allow two parties to just agree on a divorce it's done all the time well it won't be done this time I have no intention of suing you you'd look pretty silly in court harder darling trying to tell the court you'd like a divorce just so you can marry somebody else suppose I offer you the same percentage in the future that you're getting now but that doesn't make sense dear why should I even bother with a divorce if I can't better my present arrangement how much better do you want it same percentage plus two hundred thousand cash settlement two hundred where would I get that I'd have to sell half the firm why don't you send your father's head he's getting old it's Daniel Buzzard retired anyhow why that's the most expensive martini you ever threw away all it just cost you another hundred thousand losing your temper won't help any is this the young lady who changed your mind about marriage yes Louise Nelson I'm sorry I didn't meet her before I met you but you didn't darling she's cute Harlow I'm surprised you don't think she's worth enough to warrant offering me a reasonable settlement I did offer you a reasonable settlement Carolyn if you'll accept his offer I'll add my check to it thirty thousand thirty thousand dollars that's not a settlement pop that's a tip things could be lot worse suppose you had to live under the same roof with it I might wind up killing her don't say that don't even clean it now you can't blame him for thinking it any way you look at it that woman's a witch and no matter how you spell it [Music] good morning miss Allen I forgot my key again this morning will that man please oh sure thing you don't have to worry about Chucky as long as I've got mine yes future I better word on a chain around my neck miss Allen thank you [Music] Carolyn it's me [Music] what in the world are you doing here this morning this your day off I was anxious to see what you brought back from the auction there on the divan it's lovely who did it young chap just out of art school mr.

named Betty Alan I gave it to her for keeps well I'm afraid she'll give it right back to you darling when she finds you invited me I'm the little rendezvous on your boat today no wait a minute Caroline let's get something else straight I didn't invite you on that boat today you invited yourself that's not what I'd tell baby what would you talk oh I'm sure I could invent quite a shocking incident if I had to darling you mean you'd tell her a batch of lies well only if you forced me to only if we don't have our date I don't seem to get this are you trying to blackmail me oh that's a nasty word darling I must ask you to apologize and then you can kiss me goodnight what did Betty said to give you this whenever you and mrs. grant got back but why Virginia she knew I was going fishing she waited till after sundown maybe she thought you and mrs. grant were going a little too long for just fishing see you in the morning dick just a ring no message if you want a woman's opinion the ring is message enough no I'm really in a jam but Karen will you help me straighten this thing out with Betty of course I will if if what if you don't forget about our date Saturday night will you pick me up about 7:00 you must be kidding how can I fix things up with better if I take you out what's Betty gonna do on Saturday oh I'll see that she has to work at the studio all weekend kiss me good night Karen you know I spent six years in the Merchant Marine and I ran into an awful lot of no-good women in just about every part of the world but I never once ran into one like you [Music] [Music] [Music] no I was worried I where were you I don't suppose Betty came back here did she yes she was here earlier she seemed quite upset what happened between you two what did she tell you told nothing but it was obvious that something had happened she dropped by to pick up a few personal things said she wouldn't be back that she was quitting her job Wayne if I can reach her I'd like to talk to her privately why don't you run along it's late I'll call you tomorrow she said earlier this morning that there'd been a bit of a mix-up about the art exhibit did you really drive all the way to Laguna or where did you go Wayne I am well over 21 and you don't happen to be my husband I see no reason why you should demand to know where I went I wasn't demanding I was just wondering and speaking of where I was where were you I thought you had to fly to San Francisco today for the paper Carolina I've got some bad news for us I won't be flying anywhere for the newspaper again they found out about us about us what do you mean about my using the column to foster a private enterprise very serious offense in the newspaper business they dismissed me without notice oh don't worry about that dear with your talent you can easily get a column into some other paper and then we can just go on as before why don't you try the star dispatch they sell more papers anyhow and if they sell more papers we sell more painting no you don't understand I won't be able to write a column for any newspaper in the country or any other type of publication for that matter you mean you've been blacklisted I'm afraid so this really is serious without the help of your column my sales are bound to drop but I can still help you by well how much buying can I do if my sales drop off to nothing we'll retrench Carolyn after all we have one thing to be thankful or we still have each other but you have no job what do you expect me to do support you from now on no of course not I can find some other work in another line something not in the art field well what else do you know except in the art field or good eeeh to me if you work in some gas station if I need my car washed I will stop down at the corner good night Wayne I don't believe it I lose my job my career my future in the art business all for you and now you throw me out you never cared for me at all did you let's not be silly

mr. Vincent was just leaving [Music] will you please be brief it's late yes I know it's late but well I saw your lights and it's most important that I talked to you I'm sure you can guess why I'm here to try and make you see that your present attitude isn't helping anyone mrs. grant not even yourself I'm quite able to look after myself thank you must you take care of yourself at the expense of three lives your life hollows and who's the third person your own your young attractive you have talent Harlow is willing to make any kind of a reasonable settlement I'm sure that with all that and your I can take care of my own future in my own way good night you'll regret this mrs. grad am I to take that as a threat take it any way you like [Music] who is it dick I've got to talk to you it's too late there's nothing to talk about there's everything to talk about now look I know you stick we're finished ah so you're not even gonna give me a chance to explain what's there to explain everything in the first place that woman's not worth you and I breaking up over apparently you thought she was oh please Betty that's not true isn't it listen honey I was gonna take the boat out anyway today when Caroline invited herself along I didn't have any she didn't invite herself you invited her where'd you get that idea Caroline she called me not two minutes ago and told you I invited her on the boat she also told me you invited her for a weekend at the island of course invited might not be the right word honey that woman's not an outlier I didn't invite her anyplace do you expect me to believe that sure I do are you gonna take her word against the word the man you're engaged to marry the man I was engaged to marry just leave dick and please don't ever come back maybe there's still a chance for you to lure Carolyn on your boat again and no doubt you can I know Carolyn yeah but apparently you don't know me if I ever get her on that boat again it's gonna be for one purpose only to shove her overboard right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean [Music] I can sympathize with you mr. grant but I can't give you another drink look it's after 2:00 in the morning I've got a close-up okay okay should I call the camp sir I'm gonna walk by me you will try to drive with yourself I can't drive where did I get plastered tonight I can't say as I blame you mr. grant that wife of yours is heaven allows you say she is it's enough to make a man want to you're absolutely right with a dull knife without dog mr. grant my woman is worth americorps the gas chamber for I'm not so sure about that this one might be worth it that I sent [Music] Betty is that you [Music] [Music] oh dude don't don't do it [Music] [Music] what's a grad mrs.

after he left he didn't say all he said was said what oh I guess he was kidding kidding about what about getting rid of his wife with a dull knife sandy I I might have said it but I didn't mean it well I know that mr. great what else did he say whoa when I like tolling that no woman was with a man going the gas chamber for he he said I'm not so sure maybe this one is worth it was his wife killed with a dull knife the gun that's gonna take a look at your collection mr. grant I may want to show it to a friend of mine downtown he's quite a collector himself works for the police department Bureau of ballistics that's fine I'll call me again yeah what's the report from ballistics Carolyn grant was killed with a 25 caliber automatic German make pocket moszer fires a special cartridge very few of them in the country sounds sort of like a collector's item I never owned a gun like that in my life you could be telling the truth how do we know we haven't found the murder weapon yet do you still intend to hold ring yes for further questioning you had a motive you can't prove where you were at the time the crime with it homicide Hostetter oh say that again yeah I will be over at the DA's office in a few minutes Thanks well how do you like it somebody out there in the ante room wants to confess to the Caroline grant murder Louise Nelson know someone we never even thought of his father that's ridiculous he didn't do it how do you know we couldn't your release mr. grant we can't hold you for a crime that somebody else admits to all right surgeon come on Graham wait a minute do you really believe that I'm good bye mr. grant do you believe him I doubt it but maybe if we give Harlow granting up a rope you'll hang himself let's go over the DA's office [Music] Marlo there must be something we can do this okay father maybe there is do you think we can get into Carolyn's studio why not place is legally yours now I mean do you think the police have let us in I think so they turned the studio upside down they finished about noon I heard the police captain tell somebody it was all right to let the caretaker have his key back climb there what do you hunt him well ask the caretaker goes in for one reason I want to dispose of Carol's personal belongings another I think we ought to pack the art stuff get it ready to move what are those reasons you're honest enough got to be good enough for the caretaker what's your real reason you wanted to go be blind hope I found you another box mr. grant thanks Otto I don't think we'll need it we've packed all the art goods and I'll put mrs. grants clothing in her luggage I don't who else had a key to this door I mean other than mrs. grant well me of course and then there was Betty Allen she would but mrs. grant but she quit her job over the weekend didn't she turn in her key not to me she didn't well does anybody else have a key not that I know of well what about mrs. grants business partner didn't he have a key well mr. Vincent no no mrs. grant always let him in Oh better Yellin he only came around when they were here where can I find Betty Allen now where did she live you mean I don't know she had an apartment on the same street with mr. Vincent he used to drive her home sometimes before she bought a car maybe I can get her address from mr. Vincent do you know where he lives yes The Lost Follies Apartments on the corner of Highland and Holly tell us thanks I don't we'll call you if we need anything further always glad to be of any help you know my blind hope gets better every minute honey run from Carolyn's room and close the door what for do never mind run along [Music] hello what on earth was that did you break a window if you shatter a pane of glass in the dead of night it makes a noise now even if Carolyn were asleep that noise would awaken her with a start now she had an extension telephone by her bed why didn't she use that phone to call the police I don't know why didn't she because well that window was broken she was already dead and the person who broke that window wanted the police to believe that that was the way they got in actually she got in with a key she Betty Allen had a key what was her motive she said she and Carolyn parted the best of friends she might have been lying but she also had an alibi she was with her boyfriend at the time of the murder she might have been lying about that too she said her boyfriend lived on his boat in Newport no sense in wasting a drive if neither of them happen to be there operator I'd like some information on a number in Newport bailey's boatyard dick star you know his station wagons not here I think he had to drive to town you happen to know if a miss Betty Allen is with him Betty oh no she wouldn't be with dick not anymore they broke up they want when did that happen [Music] Carolyn and Betty Ellen did have a fight guess why [Music] No No thank you no message Carolyn busted-up betty allen's engagement to dick sawyer I thought this allen girl told the police that she and Carolyn got along fine she lied I wonder who she's covering up for herself for a boyfriend I'll ask Wayne Vincent where she lives I'll go with you no no honey if Betty Owen does have a 25 automatic in her hand I don't want you with me I'll borrow your car you run upstairs and then I start packing I wish you wouldn't go alone can't you call the police no I've got a hunch I'll do better if I just walk in on her [Music] hello Brad I was wondering how I might contact you Oh what did you want to contact me about well as you know I was mrs. grants business partner and few of the little paintings over at the studio happened to be my own personal property and I'd like to get them back you can stop by my home I'll give you a card with my address I've had all of Carolyn's art objects wrapped and stacked for the movers they're going to pick them up the first thing in the morning transfer them to my home here's the address you can pick them up anytime after 10:00 now I I'd like to ask you for an address the caretaker at the Art Studio so that you might help me find Betty Allen oh yes she's at the Fairview Quarter I naturally I always think a man's innocent until proven guilty but the last newsflash I heard on my radio said that you were still being held as a suspect yes I've been released they're not holding my father you mean for for what happened to Carolyn well surely they don't think they may think he's guilty I don't he only confessed because he thought he might get me off the hook your father confessed his confession won't mean a thing when they start asking him to back it up you see in the first place my father's never shot at God he doesn't even know the make or caliber the murder weapon that the police know well from the ballistics report they'll ask him where he got the gun what the caliber was what he did with the gun after he shot Carolyn dad doesn't know enough about guns to make his confession stick for even a day you say that Betty Allen is at the Fairview mm-hmm it's across the street apartment 2c your mind if I ask why you're going to see Betty Ellen you may ask I don't have time to answer oh man I please see you for a moment miss Allen well I was expecting somebody all right oh yeah I see you haven't gotten your engagement ring back from the jewelers yet that is the story you told the police isn't it just what are you trying to imply but your ring never went to the jewelers at all that you put it in an envelope gave it to the girl at Bailey's boatyard asked you to give it to dick Sawyer when he returned from his little fishing trip with Carolyn are there any other Lies you care to accuse me of mr. grant lots more you said that you had no quarrel with Carolyn that was the biggest lie of all you quarreled with her over this fellow dick Sawyer she broke up your engagement with him that's why you quit your job that's why you killed Carolyn hi what you've been caught in your own lies and you know it it's about time you started telling the truth you did kill Carolyn didn't show dick so you're both in on the murder hey honey who is this joker what's he talking about Harlow granny he's her husband he somehow found out I lied to the police well then why not start telling the truth well that's what I advised her guess I was afraid to admit I lied well they prosecute me for it well I don't know honey but being prosecuted for lying isn't nearly as bad as being prosecuted for murder then she admits that she was lying but not for herself for me she thought I killed Catherine oh not really dick but I did know you left here mad enough to do something I tried to stop you I talked to her on the phone from Newport a couple hours ago we got the whole mess straightened that and I can prove that I was back in Newport before 3:00 a.m. then if neither of you killed Carolyn who did how do we know you by chance know if any of Carolyn's friends or enemies owned a 25 automatic do you mean one of those little German guns or Mouser what makes you think I meant a Mouser I guess because the only automatic pistol I ever saw happen to be a Mauser Wayne Vincent gave one to Carolyn for a present then Carolyn could have been killed with her own gun did she give it to anyone loan it I don't think so it was still there yesterday when I cleaned up the desk she kept it in the desk in the top middle drawer did you tell the police that Carolyn owned a 25 automatic they didn't ask me if Carolyn owned a gun the only asked if I owned one I don't and if Carolyn were killed with her own gun whoever killed her knew where that gun was kept now don't start accusing Betty other people might have known where that gun was kept that's quite possible the police will be interested in two facts Betty knew where the gun was she has a key to the studio I I don't have a key I did have but I left it there when I quit you left it with the caretaker no I I left it with Wayne Vincent he stayed at the studio yesterday while Carolyn was supposed to be in Laguna then Wayne Vincent had a key last night he had your key I guess so unless he gave it to Carolyn or to the caretaker did Vincent know where Carolyn kept the gun I suppose so he used the desk quite often Wayne Vincent had a key he also had access to the gun can you think of any reason why he might want to kill Carolyn not unless she messed up his life like she almost messed up ours well thanks for everything thanks a lot [Music] good name is tomorrow [Music] [Music] [Music] at all oh I didn't realize there was anyone here you scared me you scared me I thought I'd lock the door oh you did lock it but as mrs. grants business partner I have a key to a few of these artworks happen to be my own and I just dropped by to pick them up I'm not stealing anything I assure you am i stealing these mr. grant asked me to gather up his wife's things oh yeah I hope I didn't disturb you I'll just take a few minutes and then I'll go you're not disturbing me in the least if you don't mind I'll go on with my job mr. grants calling for me in just a few minutes [Music] [Music] hello hello operator would you get me the police department please this might be an emergency hello would you connect me with either captain Hofstadter or lieutenant Gordon right away please [Music] Oh hello cooperate operator [Music] what I said mr. grant will be here any minute my cars outside if we should meet him remember this will be in my pocket tell him to get into the car with us he can drive we don't meet him you can drive boy I'll decide the destination [Music] tell him you'll be right down [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] not [Music] I'll kill her if you make one move she's standing right where Carolyn stood do you want to see her fall down the steps like she did [Music] profit all right Vincent well look what Santa Claus brought us Exhibit A he took that gun out of his pocket and hid it in one of the packing cases I was on the balcony you didn't see me he put the gun in one of the boxes because I was dumb enough to tell him that the boxes were being delivered to my house why because he knew that the grant family was already in hot water and planting a gun on the grants would drop you fella sure got here at the right time a guardian angel must have sent you your guardian angel goes under the name of Captain hasta Therese how does tailing you ever since you were released you'll follow us down to headquarters yeah I'll be with you in a minute [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you
