Here's the window and the joint that ought to be open according to the plans, Jerry. Plans, plans, nothing but plans. You spend more time planning than doing anything else, Bob. That's why when we do something we do it right.

Yep, here's the window all right. Yeah. Well, what's with your fancy plans, Bob? It ain't open, but the plans say it will open. Let's try it. Okay, but we're going to end up busting it and sounding off in a lot. You nuts? What do you think I just cut those wires back there for? So nobody could turn the lights on in this joint? So the alarm bell wouldn't go off either. My plan say the alarm system here hasn't got use of its own. Comes in on the electric light wires. Let's try this window. Okay. The window opened all right? Yeah. According to the plans. Let's climb in, be quiet when we do. I'll go first. And I'll keep a lookout behind us. But do our fancy plans say they're ain't going to be nobody behind us. And if we do everything on time, so far we're right on schedule. And I mean, here, give me your hands, Jerry, I'll put you up.

Yeah, sure. Now, you go. Okay. Thanks a lot, Ben, by myself. There. Shhh, you fool. Look, if you've got this sort of plan, you're planted so there's nobody around, didn't you? Yeah, but it's hard to figure what people do to crush your ideas. And the safe shouldn't be right over there on that wall just in front of us. According to the plans, huh? Yeah. Come on, use your flashlight. Keep a churn on the floor. Don't worry. There. How's that? Okay. There's the safe. Let's go. Ain't much of a safe, is it? We don't want the safe, just what's in it. Let's get to work on it. I haven't got much time. It suits me. Safe is exactly what I thought it was. This is going to be easy. Good. Quite a lot of issue. You got it? Yet, you can turn off your light if you want.

Just feeling my way now. Yes, you're there. It's all quiet. I got to concentrate. Hey, what was that? That was it. The safe's open. Hey, you ain't kiddin' either. Bob is sure he's open. Turn on the flashlight again. Yes, you're there. Hey, look at those two rocks. Just like your play. Two diamonds. Big diamonds, Jerry. And maxed like they were twins. And now they're going to make us a pile of dough. Just like I planned. And now meet Dick Colmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to those who make him an enemy. Friend to those who have no friends. Blackie, my name is Ernest Harvey. I'm an insurance suggestion. Maybe you won't like my reason for coming to see him.

If it's to adjust my insurance, I won't. I'm satisfied with mine just the way it is. Well, it's not for that, Blackie. I need your help in locating the Willough Brand diamonds. Oh, that paramach stones that disappeared last night? Yes. Well, I don't know what makes you think I can find them. It's a job for the police. I realize that the police are working on the car. And they're going to be in trouble. I'm going to be in trouble. I'm going to be in trouble. I realize that the police are working on the case right now. But I think you can be of invaluable assistance, regardless. Thanks for the compliment. But what makes you think I can help in this particular case? We're certain that two well-known professionals stole those diamonds. I have to know you have very definite contacts with the underworld. Whatever characters I don't know know me. Is that what you mean? Somehow you can find out things that nobody else can. You realize those contacts might be helpful now, don't you? Yes, and it's both of them, Mr. Harvey. Well, my affirm will pay you well if you'll test those contacts, see if you can get us a lead on those missing stones. OK, Mr. Harvey, that sounds fair. Well, you've made your contact.

Now I'll make mine. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Thanks. Thanks a lot, Shorty. I knew you'd find out what I wanted to know. I'll call you later if I need anything. Bye. Well, Bracky? Well, Mary, that was Shorty, and we already have a break. In the Willa Brand Diamond case. Didn't take you long, did a Bracky. Only because it didn't take Shorty long. My first idea was that the thieves would break up the stones. We'd never find them. But their value is in their size and the fact that they are too perfectly matched diamonds. So they are intact, Shorty says. What else did he say? Well, according to the shortman, the thieves are going to sell the diamonds to a foreign buyer. Oh, they're going to be taken overseas. Apparently, foreigners, a Frenchman named Jacques Pierre, he's going to buy the stones this afternoon or a French name, Dalton. Well, to find out why, Bracky, Mr. Dalton is going to have a visitor before Jacques Pierre gets there. You know you're a blackie, all right? I'm going to be Monsieur Jacques Pierre, but, Marcel, to sweeten all that.

Who are you calling? Far-day. Can try out your French accent? That's a like a fantasy Dalton. And when I do get there, I'm going to talk him into the fact that I'm a Frenchman and out of those diamonds. Oh, you think that will be easy, do you? Easy or hard, I'm going to do it just the same. Far-day speaking. Inspector, this is wacky. And this is a bad day in my life. Don't make it worse. Look, Far-day, are you interested in recovering the little brand diamonds? No, I'm not in the least busy. What did you say? You heard what I said. Look, pal, don't ask me how I found out because that's an important. But I know where the stones are. You do. Where are they? I'm really on a spot if I don't get those diamonds back. You're not on a spot. You're not big enough. You're on a speck. Anyhow, that isn't what I call for. It isn't. Well, what are you bothering me about? This is my busy day. If anybody asked you to name the alphabet, that could be your busy day. Far-day, you can tell whoever it is that's putting pressure on you that you will have those diamonds back this afternoon. Just like that, huh? No, sweetheart, just like this.

Listen. It's well worth it. It's a good thing that you've got. It's a good thing that you've got. It's a good thing that you've got. It's a good thing that you've got. Ah! Yes? Yes, what can I do for you? Bonjour, Monsieur. Are you Monsieur Dr? Yeah. Daughtons, the name. Got something to hack, Frenchie? Huck? And I'm a Monsieur. I'm Jacques Pierre. I understand. Rangements have been made for me to make a purchase from you. Is it all right to talk here? In front of these two guys? Sure. These likes a friend's of mine. Jerry Brown? Bob Jackson. Hi. Hello, Frenchie. It is indeed a pleasure to meet your gentlemen. That I am such a pleasure. I look Pierre, Jerry and Bob are partners in this deal with me. Let's talk about the Willie Brand diamonds right now. Certainly, Monsieur. Monsieur. Monsieur.

The sign will never be called. Eh, me? I see the diamonds, please. Let them out, Bob. They're on the shelf and the safe. Right. I haven't been foying it yet. It is well to tell you. I will know if they are between stones when I see them. Is it not Monsieur Dutton? They are the McCoy, all right, Bob. Well, Bob? Eh, yeah, boys. Nice and snug in this case. Part of the plan, boys. Part of the plan. Why don't you shut up and hand over the stones to Doug? I'll take that case, Bob. Eh, yeah. Thanks. Well, Mr. Pierre, here it is. And here they are. Beautiful. Aren't they? Eh, very magnificent. Eh, may I examine it, please? Sure. Go ahead. This figure of Manelie, from the counter, do not be disturbed. It is not lit. This time, on's...

Oh, man, if you have never seen the equal. The like, eh? Beautiful, beautiful. Eh, who is that just came in? Eh, man? Well, nobody came in. I didn't see nobody. Me either. Perhaps I made a mistake. In this case, now, there's two beautiful diamonds. I am satisfied. What do you mean, you're satisfied? Cos you're satisfied. What about the money for them? That I bring back with me this afternoon. After all the gentlemen, you did not expect I would come down with all this money to meet gentlemen of your reputation without first seeing the diamonds, did you? What happened to the plan, Bob? How did you get lost, Jerry? Hey, boys, what goes on here? Nothing, I guess. Frenchie says he'll be back this afternoon with a doll. That's okay with me. Yes, sir. And now you will, please excuse me, of our gentlemen. Hey, dog, you got the case now. Only doesn't feel right. Hey, boys, the case is empty. But you're near the door. Grab him.

Oh, worry. You ain't going anywhere, Frenchie. But this way, you're the door. I've got a voice. Shut the door and drag him back here. Oh, you. That was a huge trick, Frenchie. Well, I only did not work. Get up those diamonds before we ship your back to France and plaster of Paris. Diamonds? But I have no diamonds. Hey, all of a sudden, boys, that accent sounds foamy to me. And that mustash and go tea, look foamy too. Shut them over here, Bob, when I see if they're real. Hey. Hey, they came off in my hand. Yeah, and a little cool, Frenchie really is, boys. It's Boston Blacky. That's right, I'm Blacky, and here's my calling cops. Oh, now grab a bob. Hit him with that chair. Oh, no, no. Oh, you're safe too. Oh. That got him, Bob. Oh, grab him. Let's get him in the back of the shop. OK, dog. Come on, get full of us at the ramp. Sure. OK. Hey, was that sock I got a quote in the plan too?

And that's your relax. Coming too, already. Didn't let go of him now. Hey, can you stand on his own two feet? Can't you, Blacky? Uh-huh. Rather that chair you slug me with, Bob? Yeah. You were just lucky. You just hope I don't get lucky with this gun, Blacky. Such a, boys. Yeah, she wanted you searching me for a dog, right? Well, will they brand diamonds? All right. Reaching his pockets, Bob. You care for him, the diamonds, but just patting his clothes. OK, OK. And the luck yet fell off? No, dog. He doesn't have money this side. He ain't got him in any of these pockets either. Hey, what is this? His clean purse. He ain't got those diamonds, no way. No. Then he swallowed them, Jerry. Swallowed them as he beat it out of here. Come on. They're going to drag him up the docked zones and have him use a fluoroscope on this bum. Oh. I'm sorry, Dalton, but the fluoroscope shows nothing. It's a good thing they tossed you out of Med School.

You couldn't tell a case of mumps without a search warrant, doc. There's nothing wrong with me, Dalton. It's your theory. Blacky didn't swallow those diamonds. I guess you fellas don't want me anymore. Shut up, Blacky. Doc, he's got to have swallowed them. He had to. They aren't on him. We went over everything he's wearing. He swallowed them, all right? Sorry, Dalton, but the fluoroscope shows that he did not swallow them. Believe me, he didn't. And what happened to those diamonds? We're hiding. I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I know, is he took them? If I did, we're all right. Look, you don't want me anymore, do you? No, go on, get out of here. We don't want you. We want those diamonds. Doc, you can't let them go. Why can't I? He hasn't got the stones, has he? You want the old police force ganging up on us? Beat it, Blacky. OK, but where are the rocks? Who does happen? Yeah, Jerry. I wonder what happened to the plants. Amen. Amen. Hello, Faraday O'Pill.

He sent a poll this one off with ease, didn't we? Did we, Blacky? Oh, say we did. Dalton and Spelz have no idea how I got those diamonds out of the shop and get rid of them. Well, I don't blame them for being baffled. So am I. What do you mean? The diamonds were in that cigar, am I not? The cigar all prepared. It was hollow down. I slept the diamonds in, threw it out on the street when those logs grabbed me and you were supposed to pick it up. You found the cigar on the street, didn't you? I did not. What? I didn't find anything. You still have the diamonds, don't you? No, of course not. I slept them out of a case and put them in that cigar, tossed it in the gutter in front of the store, just like I told you I would on a telephone. Well, I didn't find a cigar or anything else. What is this, Blacky, a double cross? A double cross. That's not kidding, Faraday. You have the diamonds, haven't you? Doc, give me that Blacky. You have them. And you're going to give them to me. Faraday, you've never been so wrong about any two things in your life. Well, that's fine, that's great. I promised a commission or I'd have those diamonds for them. Thanks to you and your ideas. Not where am I? In a jam, Faraday, and I'm in it with you. That makes it unanimous. Where are those diamonds, Blacky?

You don't know? No. Well, that's something else that's unanimous, too. And now back to Boston, Blacky. Two valuable diamonds are stolen, and Boston, Blacky, attempts to get them back. Posing a Jacques Pierre, a buyer of stolen jewels, Blacky steals the diamonds from a fence named Dalton in a plan in which Inspector Faraday of the police is to assist. But something goes wrong with the plan, and Faraday does not get the diamonds. Blacky doesn't have them, nor do the thieves. But as we return to our story, the real Jacques Pierre enters Dalton's place. Yes? What can I do for you? I am Jacques Pierre, I'm seeking a Mr. Don. So, I'm Dalton.

So you're really Pierre this time, huh? This time, of course, what do you mean, is there a mean of a stick? The whole thing was a mistake. But I took care of things. You want to buy those matched diamonds? It is right. They are for sale? Yes. For cash, right now. That is agreeable with me. Where are they? Right here in my pocket. Very well, you should him to me. I will buy them. Good enough. Take a look. Beautiful. Sure. And they gave me a beautiful headache. Some guy tried to lift them a while ago. Only I figured out his plan. Plan, sure. He slipped the stones into a cigar and hurled the cigar into the street. Only I hopped out and got it a minute later. And I'll look. My boys don't know I caught the stones out of that cigar. You keep your mouth shut and I'll turn them over to you at a real bargain. Half price. You see, me see. It is a deal. Where's the money? You. In 20, 25,000. That is the price, you see, not? That is right. Here you are. Thanks. And here are your diamonds. They are real? They are a bargain. And they are all yours.

You see, every tick them. Over. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Txy, Txy! Hold, T. Where are you? Fine. I have finished. Where have you gone? I have decided to take another taxi. Get out the van, at least. She is leaving. Must be the ticket button after the ticket Literally.. Where are you going? にいれるまで� springs. Now, yet where you want to go, Mr. I wish to go to the... I wish again, Mr. Jacques Bia, because I'm Boston Blacky, and you're going where I say... You're Boston Blacky, and where are we going? First to pick up my friend Mary Wesley, and then for a little ride in the country. All right, yeah. Put your shirt back on now. You'll see. Mary, find anything in the cab? Not a thing, blacky, not a thing.

You must be very disappointed, Mr. Blacky. Frankly, I am. I don't have the diamonds on you, they aren't the cab. You didn't swallow them. I didn't give you a chance to throw them out of the cab. Come on, put your shirt on, I'll drive you back to town. You'll see, but you bid, we're dead. Then I guess I'll have to let you go. I saw a doll can give you those stones. I thought I was smart. Frenchie, I'd give a lot to know how you took French leave of those diamonds. Hello. Mr. Dolphin? Speaking. It's Jacques Pierre. Oh? Jacques Pierre, you know who I am. I purchased it with the brand diamonds for a few hours ago. Did you? Yes, you know that I did.

I don't even know that you were Jacques Pierre. No, well, I can tell you the price. I paid for the diamonds. It was $25,000. F the price you quoted me originally. So? I would, I know that unless I were Jacques Pierre. OK, I guess you're on the level. What do you want? I ran into trouble with Mr. Boston Blackie. I had to dispose of the diamonds temporarily. What do you mean? I mean, I know where they are, but I will not be able to get them back without help. Well, don't bother me about it. Get one of your own gang to help you. Mr. Dolphin, I have not put you called gang. I do my work alone, but this is something in which I will need help. May I borrow one of your associates? Other chance, friendsy. You between you and me is closed tight. You're on your own. Perhaps, but I think not. Spread that out a little so that it makes sense. Certainly. You will help me, Mr. Dolphin, because if you do not,

it will be necessary for me to inform your two assistants that you sold me the diamond and forgot to tell them about it. Comprénez? That means understand? Understand. I'll meet you pronto. That means, right away. Look, Blackie, don't clutter up my office. I feel bad enough without having to look at you. You feel bad, Frady. How do you think I feel? I know Pierre had those diamonds when he got into that cab. How do you know? Because I was watching while Pierre got them from Dolphin. Pierre got into the cab with those diamonds, and he didn't throw them out of the cab on the way out into the country. Hey, maybe he tossed them out when you stopped from his Wesley. No, I was watching very carefully then. On the way out to the country, Mary said, right beside me and Pierre in the front seat and watched him for me. You searched Pierre while Miss Wesley searched the cab, huh? Neither one of us found anything.

But Pierre put those diamonds somewhere. It's something to them, and unless I miss my... Holy mackerel, I've got it! If you don't come up with those diamonds pretty soon, you're going to get it! Ferry, listen. I know what Pierre did with those diamonds. Slip them into the cup on Mary's coat sleeve. What? That's the one place I never thought to look in the cup of the diamond. Look, Ferry's life isn't danger. Pierre's going to try to get those diamonds from her, and he'll stop at nothing to do it. I'll send a couple of squad cars to her place right away. I'll contact the radio, cause no neighborhood. They should be there in a couple minutes. Well, I'll get Mary on the phone and try to stall things. Right. Oh, Mary, be at home. Should I hope that you're not at home? Hello? Hello, Mary, this is Blackie, but don't call me by name. No. I am. I will. Somebody's there already. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, look, take it easy. Ferry's sending up a couple of squad cars, but it may take a few minutes. We've got to stall. I see.

Look, who's there, Pierre? That's right. Anybody else? Right again. Dolby? Yeah. Oh, and they have lots of company. Dolby's men are with him, huh? No. Dolby's alone? Huh. That's funny. Doesn't like that a lug, too. It was owned dirty work. That's where he hired Bob and Jerry for. Listen, wait, I've got it. Call me Jerry, Mary, and put Dolby on the phone. Well, all right, Jerry. Just a minute. Um, Mr. Dolby, somebody named Jerry wants to talk to you. All right. Here, Jerry. Hello, Dolby. Yes, Jerry. How did you know I was here? You ain't up to any tricks, am I, Mr. Dolby? What? Don't you, Mary, who what makes you think so? Because me and Bob know what was supposed to happen according to the plans. And you double-crossness wasn't in our plans. I will cross you?

Yeah, we know what you're doing. You sold front you those diamonds without even telling us you found them. Now, we don't like that, Dolby. Radio cars are already on their way. All right, why in the Faraday don't think I'm a stooge? Yes, sir. Oh, Jerry, let me talk to him. I can explain everything. Well, I mean, uh, well, he ain't instead of a talking mood, Dolby. When it gives the double-crosses, I'd do all a gambin'. Well, look, what do you want? No deal if that's how you're figuring to squam out. We're just down a block from you, and we're gonna kill you when you come out of the building. No, look, Jerry, I'll do anything you say. I admit that I found the stones, but I saw them to pier without telling you because I want to make a fast sail. I was gonna give you your cut. Yeah, we don't believe it. Honestly. Oh, no. You and French here working to get it. You got them with you right now, ain't you? Well, uh, yes, but hey, two cops just came in the door. Two more came in another door. Here you take them for.

Sorry, your boys just got there. Good. Are you sure they're the way to any time? Mary would only get on the spot well. Hello, hello, what's up? Mary, what's happening? I don't have it. Jordan, Pierre ran for the kitchen door of a two policemen with their first. They've had a shot at the floor. Pierre gave up a daughter's run into the bedroom. It's a dead end. He knows that now and he's up behind the sofa. Look like you know I'm heading towards the front door. He's trying to get behind the policemen, but he can't. Good. And then two more come, just came in the door. What if he don't took a breath on of the minuck and down? He's trying to make a door. But luckily they got him, they got him. In other words, it's all over, huh? Yes, yes, it's all over, blacky, including the shouting. That's good. Dolan Pierre didn't get to your coat today. No, no, you know they came up here to ask about it. They wanted to look at it. Why is black? Because in the cup of your sleeve you'll find the missing Willough brand diamonds. Look, I'm in Faraday's office. Bring them down here right away, will you? Don't worry, I will. Bye. They got Dolan Pierre, Faraday and Barben Jerry are going to be a cinch to pick up. Yeah, we'll get them all right. Gee, this is the first case I have a salved by remote control.

You solved it. Where would you be if it weren't for my cups? Where would you be if it weren't for my brains? Faraday, all that's important is that those diamonds are on the way here. Mary's bringing them down. That means I've got to have you here until she arrives. It isn't worth it. You know it is, pal. Just think. Those diamonds will be back here with a belong by the night. That's great. But I wish that you were back where you belong. Right now. Let's go. Okay. Okay. All right. Very good. I didn't get that. And now I have a pretty big deal. Okay. Okay. Thank you. I think that's what we're doing. Okay. Okay. We are. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's go. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
