 EPSI. That's your smartest cola buy. Pepsi Cola. Present to you in Thursday by delicious Pepsi Cola. Or to the American people, listen to these findings. Recently released by the United States testing company Incorporated. After thorough and impartial tests, Pepsi Cola proved of highest purity. Pepsi Cola has more quick food energy and value ounce for ounce than any other leading nationally known cola. Nationally known cola drinks get the best and twice as much. In delicious Pepsi Cola. The gift of the United States from the Rajav Subhan sparkled under the harsh light of a hanging lamp. A tall man of 45 with iron gray hair and horn rim flasks, Arthur Lamar bent over the jewel lost in wonder. Suddenly, behind him, out of the darkness came another figure. Swift, silent, with upraised arm. Pause, and then... I'm running away. I feel as if the whole country were after us. I hope you'll never be sorry that you've come with me. Never. This is the big adventure of my life, Victor. Just you keep thinking that way, Anne. Only even big adventures have to be planned. I've put myself in your hands. Where we're driving to, for instance. Well, where? You know, for several years I've taken vacations. But did you notice that I've never told anyone where I've been? That's right. You didn't. I went regularly to the little California town of Oceanside. And I lived there and became known as John Robertson, an eastern businessman. Now you will appear there as the new Mrs. Robertson. How easy you make it sound. Far from it. But I always knew that someday I'd need John Robertson. The day that I couldn't stand another minute of my dear partner Arthur Lamar. And this time John Robertson and wife will stay in Oceanside quietly for a year, maybe two. Not too quietly, Victor. I've had years of that. Oh, I think I can promise you it won't be too quiet. Not when Arthur finds out about, um... What? Me. When he finds out what his partner has really done to him. I'd love to see his face. Gentlemen of the press, I'm Arthur Lamar. Very sorry to have kept you waiting, but, uh... I was delayed by further police and insurance company investigation and, uh... I had a little more medical attention for the blow on the head that I received last night. Uh, I think you all know the main facts. The crystalline diamond, the most perfect jewel in the world, was stolen last night from the vault of Lamar and Moffat by my partner, Victor Moffat. But now I have a special announcement. I am personally offering a reward for the capture of Victor Moffat. $50,000 alive. $100,000 dead. I mean this reward for Victor Moffat. $50,000 alive. A hundred investigators are able to take care of it. The Arthur Lamar. I'm afraid you... you were very upset when you announced this reward. I was, Mr. Lamar. With that diamond on its way to Washington, my firm has been made to look untrustworthy. But, Mr. Harding, why are you so upset about this yourself? Mr. Lamar, it's the nature of the reward you're offering for Moffat. $50,000 alive, well and good. But to offer twice as much for him dead, that's an invitation to murder. Murder? By elements in the underworld. Unscrupulous individuals who see a chance to collect a great deal of money for committing a crime. Good heavens, I never thought of it that way. Besides, you put Moffat on notice, he may be shot to death without a chance, without a trial. Chance a trial? He's as guilty as he can be. Mr. Lamar, a man like Moffat doesn't usually carry weapons. He's not a killer, a professional gunman. That means he could easily be taken alive. But now you've made sure that capturing him will cost blood. But he must be armed, Mr. Harding. A gun I kept at home is missing. In any case, will you withdraw that reward, Mr. Lamar? Mr. Harding, am I violating any law by posting the reward for Moffat alive or dead? Frankly, no. Then I will not withdraw it. May I ask you frankly, Mr. Lamar, what purely personal motive leads you to want to see Moffat dead? I've said nothing to the press about this, Mr. Harding. But Victor Moffat fled in the company of a woman. My wife. Victor, shouldn't we be on US Highway 22A? We are, darling. We just passed the sign saying this is Pennsylvania 101B. Same thing, Anne. Relax. I was just thinking, how many more states to California? Here's a little town on the edge of one. You hungry? That was an enormous lunch we had. Well, still it's late. Suppose we find a nice motor court and then I'll get in some food for a light supper. Fine. Still so angry, you don't even notice that I'm here in the New York field office when you left me in Washington. What? That's right. What are you doing here? I had a hunch you might not get far with Lamar, Dave. And the harm's already been done. News of the reward has been sent all over the country by now. So I thought maybe I could be of some help. Well, the real twister is that Moffat also ran off with Lamar's wife. Well, we'll put out a general search bullet on Victor Moffat and Mrs. Lamar. We've got to find them before some gunman does. Anything unexpected came up? You gave me quite a surprise. I just had one myself. What? While you were out getting the food, I thought the proprietor of this place might have a newspaper. It's curious to see what Arthur might be doing or saying about my leaving with you. And I had a newspaper all right. There's my surprise on page one. Yes, I see. I read it, and then I got out the gun. This is where my one big adventure ends, I said to myself, here in a motor court somewhere in Pennsylvania, the end. When you walked in that door, I was going to kill you. And give me that. 11 rotten years with Arthur. At last, I thought I could get free of him with you. I felt wonderful, Victor. That's what made this even a greatest surprise. Why didn't you tell me? You might not have come with me, and I love you. What kind of a life can we have, hunted all over the country? What made you steal the crystal and diamonds? Why didn't you tell me? Well, it just came into my head suddenly when I saw Arthur looking at it. And, Dan, this doesn't change anything. You wanted an adventure. You're getting a bigger one. You talk like a child, Victor. What good is that diamond to you? I've been planning that. After hiding out in California, we'll go to Indonesia. There are some diamond cutters there that I can deal with. You'll never get across the country, Victor. There's a price on your head, alive or dead. Well, what of it? Men can be dead. Sooner or later, you'll need help from underworld characters. And you'll be worth $100,000 to any one of them that decides to double-cross you. Well, yes, there's something in that. I see only one thing to do. Give up this crazy California scheme. Give it up. We've got to get away from the influence of this reward of Arthur. Away from the American police and American criminals. We've got to leave the country. Now, Anne, for the love of heaven, don't dare cross the whole country now. We'll have to go back. Maybe Philadelphia, find a ship, get on her somehow, quickly. Anne. Anne. Darling, I told you this is the big adventure of my life. It's not what I expected. But we'll go through it. And I want you alive. Don't you understand? Department, Ogilvy, Pennsylvania. Couple believed to be Victor Moffat and Mrs. Anne Lamar. Spent some here from you. Oceanside, California, Dave. Well, Peters, we can ignore that. I found a few fingerprints. And they matched the card we made up on Moffat in New York. Was that any help? They disappeared from here. Nobody knows which direction they left him. We may have a clue in this Philadelphia newspaper. Oh? Yeah. See this page? Shipping news. And the papers well folded and flattened, as if this particular part of this page had been studied over and over. Shipping news and ship sailings from eastern ports. Well, that suggests that Moffat and the woman who first planned a Western getaway have changed their minds and are doubling back to the east coast for a ship to get out of the country. We don't know from which port. Well, let's get to a phone. We'll have to get out a general alarm to all eastern seaports and airfields just in case. Now, there's another difficulty, Dave. Some ship may take them aboard before an alarm ever reaches it. Wait. Wait a second, hmm? Peters, you suppose we could split that couple, turn them against each other, you mean? It's clear Moffat stole the diamond, but according to Lamar, the woman had little or nothing to do with the theft itself. And the reward is only for him, exactly. We'll get out the alarm first. Then I'm going to issue a statement of the press pointing out that she has nothing to lose by coming in, but she risks her life by going on with him. Come on, Peters, we need telephone. Pepsi Cola. Have you heard about those tests by that famous laboratory? Have you heard the latest news in the Pepsi Cola story? Yes, there's big news about Pepsi. The cola you've always known was most delicious. The cola you've always known was best value is now shown to be the cola of proven highest quality. That's right.

Price is much and better too. Pepsi Cola is a drink for you. Delicious Pepsi Cola, delicious Pepsi Cola, delicious Pepsi Cola, delicious Pepsi Cola. Now back to Counter Spies. Anne Lamar and Victor Moffatt, in possession of the crystalline diamond, worth $2 million, have reached temporary safety near the Philadelphia waterfront in an underscript boarding house. And Mr. David Harding, chief of the Counter Spies, speaking to a press conference, said he believed that Mrs. Lamar was not implicated in the best of the done. And he added, with a price on Victor Moffatt's head, she might soon realize that her life was in constant danger. She had nothing to lose and everything to gain, Mr. Harding said, by leaving Moffatt and clearing herself with the authority. Well, Anne, there's your chance. Chance? To end your adventure free and clear. The invitation is published in every newspaper in the country. I hope you feel honored. You don't have to get sarcastic, Victor. You can see what they're up to. Of course. They hope you'll telephone the nearest police station and say that Victor Moffatt is at number 14 West Race Street. You know, in posting that reward, Arthur was much more clever than I ever thought he could be. Arthur was clever? The reward is not for the diamond, but for you. That means we can't even return the diamond somehow and escape. But we're going to escape with the diamond. Victor, I'm willing to give up. We can never escape together. Never. Now, darling, now wait a minute. Your nerve's going. You're just tired. No. I've been getting clearer and clearer in my mind. Leaving New York with you, that was my escape from a dreary, horrible life with Arthur. And then the diamond. And the price on your head is if you were a western bad man of the old days. And now, my invitation to betray. But if you give up, that's what you'll be doing. Oh, no. I'm going to do something much more to the point. Somehow Arthur spoils everything for me. And I'm going to make him pay for that. I am going to see him and kill him. And for heaven's sake, you're losing your good common sense. I'm sorry, Victor. It's all over. Goodbye. Anne. Hello, Mr. Lamar. This is David Harding. Oh, good evening, Mr. Harding. I miss you at your office. I took this chance of catching you at your country place. Yes. Yes, I wanted a quiet evening for a change these past few days. It's been pretty acting for me. Well, tell me, are you alone there? Why, yes. I put him about a quarter mile away. Why? Well, just keeping in touch, that's all. Did I give you the emergency number of our New York field office? It's quadrant 10,000. Oh, right. A minute on him at this time. Fine. Good night. Now, Peter, call the squad room. Send two men in a patrol car to Lamar's place. Tell them not to disturb him. Just get near the house and keep their eyes open. Don't you trust Lamar, Dave? He's a strange man, Peter. He hates him off at more than a count of his wife on an account of the diamond. And if Mrs. Lamar responds to our invitation, his desire for revenge might get in our way. Get out of the squad room, Peter. I want those men out there fast. What do you want, Anne? Where are you? You mean you've got it? Yes. How? They do you want to know. I'd give anything. In one hour, I'll meet you at the River Ford Soulmill. You know the place? Well, that's fantastic. It's always deserted at night, Arthur. One hour? Lamar has left his house. They're tailing him. We're going out there, too, Peter. I'm feeling very repentant, Arthur. You mean you woke up to the fact that you did a crazy thing running off of that cheap mothet? And now you're trying to save yourself, huh? You never let me get away with anything, do you, Arthur? I want that diamond. And I'm willing to take you back again as my wife. What more do you want? Where is the diamond, Anne? We'll have to wait. What for? You know, Arthur, I didn't know you hated me so much. I wonder if you know how much. I think so. You didn't care if you caused the murder? Pick them up? Murder? You mean you've killed him? Don't sound so hopeful, Arthur. No, I haven't killed him. Are you sure to die sooner or later, isn't it? I followed you. Oh, so I walked right into it? It's not a trap, Arthur. I followed Anne here, and then I waited. And then when I saw you come in, I decided I'd better come in, too. Victor, will you give up that diamond? Certainly not. Anne has already promised it to me. What? Victor, why did you have to come? I told you I wanted to see Arthur. I can't let you kill him. Give me that gun. No, no, he's ruined everything. I will kill him. Give me that gun. Arthur, I came here only to stop her, and I suggest you go. It's a new fool. Now you'll never get away. Give me the diamond, Victor, and surrender it. It's your only chance. Don't listen to him, Victor. Now that you're here, you've got to kill him. You did it, Victor. You've made me a murderer. I brought some Phillips and Margolis on the earphones. What is it? This is it. They've located Lamar's car near a sawmill a mile north of Lamar's house, and they've got Victor Maffet cornered inside. They're waiting for orders. Let's get there, Peter. I've ruined everything for you. We'll get out of this hand somehow. That's a new voice. Yes, more men perhaps. Victor, listen. You stay here. They won't hurt you. I'm going to make a break for it. You'll never make it, Victor. That's the back wall. Probably to confuse us. You stay here for a minute. I'll go see what that was. If they come in here, I'll use this. A piece of wood. What good is that? Go ahead, Victor. All right. You wait here and I'll... Maffet got it away from my husband. The night you left, he reported it. That means you lied just now about how your husband was killed, isn't it? It means you had your husband's gun when you left with Maffet. How many other lies have you just told Mrs. Lamar? Lies. You weren't really trying to come back to your husband and I were you. You were trying to double-cross him again and double-cross Maffet once you realized the whole game was up. And I couldn't have led Maffet back here without some kind of a trick. Mr. Harding, I am going to claim that $50,000 reward for Victor Maffet alive. Mrs. Lamar, it was said that whenever it changed hands, three men must die. Soon after making his will, a Roger of Subgun was murdered. Your husband lies here. And a third. Victor. Yes. He's dead from that blow you gave him. I charge you with his murder. Call if you love it, Peter. We're through here. Well, that takes care of the crystalline diamond. Now let's take care of the refreshment. Bring on those big, big pepsis and have delicious Pepsi Cola all around. Mmm, tastes good. You just can't match pepsis' fresh, tangy flavor. And there's plenty for two of you and pepsis' big 12-ounce bottle. Get pepsi by the cotton. It's six bottles, but 12 drinks. Don't save all that money and enjoy that extra zing and bounce delicious pepsi gives you. Remember, pepsi's proven highest quality. Yet it gives you twice as much. Pepsi Cola, this is fun. Two full glasses, that's a lot. Twice as much as that of two. Pepsi Cola is the drink for you. Delicious Pepsi Cola. Delicious Pepsi Cola. Delicious Pepsi Cola. Delicious Pepsi Cola.
