 Danger, Dr. Danfield. The human mind is like a cage. Beyond the life, there are dark passageways and mysterious receptors. I, Dr. Daniel Danfield, have explored those unknown retreats and known their secrets. Dr. Daniel Danfield, authority on crime psychology. It's an unhappy faculty for getting himself mixed up in hazardous predicament because of his astonishing revelations regarding the workings of the criminal mind. Today's story begins in a state prison. Two cellmates, one of them the notorious and desperate Red Jacoby, are discussing a long plan and carefully worked out prison break. Hey Red, yeah Mickey? Ain't it about time? In a minute now. This waiting's getting me down. Maybe someone had it. Now one's ratted. I know what they'd get if they did. Yeah, but that screw should be along here by now. Shut up. He'll be along. What if he don't come, Red? What if they figured out to shut up, I said. Okay Red, okay. You're the boss. And don't forget it. Just don't forget it, Mickey. And remember what you're supposed to do. Sure, Red. I'll do it all right. When the screw comes along, we start a fight and then shut up. Here it comes. Should we start fighting out there, shall we? Yeah. Start yelling and calling me names. And then I'll slug you. Okay Red. You dirty rat. No one ain't gonna call me that and get away with it. Now, well, maybe this will teach you a lesson. You lousy take this. Hey, hey you guys, cut out. Take a poke at me, will you? Here's one to remember me by. Hurry up, I said. I'll come in here. Hey, I don't better than that punk. Get ready. He's opening the door. Yeah. So you thought I'd take your cheap talk, eh? Well, take this. All right. All right, you assholes. Well, I didn't have as you a couple for a minute. Let's go. Here it comes. I told you guys to get him, Red. Take that, you lousy screw. Nice going, Red. It's lucky you had the gun, huh? It has case and rod. Yeah, yeah. I got them. Come on now. Quick. Lock the screw inside. Yeah. How about the other guys? Never mind them now. We gotta get some more guns in that addition. Come on. Where are we going? Through this door. There's guns inside. Supposed there's a screw inside. There ain't. I figured all the angles. Come on. Inside with you. We should be lit some more. Well, I'm gonna be one of us if you don't stop belly aching. Get that gun. Okay, Red. Okay. Hand me one, too. Get up that box of slugs. Come on now. This way. Ain't we going back and let the other guys out? No. Now, pipe down. It's locked. We're stuck, Red. Oh, that's why you ain't stuck. Give me them keys you took from the screw. Yeah. Here. So none of them work. One of them will. There. That does it. Come on. What's at the end of this corridor? Door to the body. I told you I figured everything out. Oh, Red. I hope so. Red, look. It's a gun. Yeah. It ain't close to the wall. He sees us. Hey, you guys. What the... Get a... You got a red? Sure. I got him. Come on. Somebody will hear those shots. Oh, he ain't got a chance. No. Just stick with me, pal, and you'll see. No one ain't taking Red Jacoby alive. Oh, here it goes. And those are siren. Oh, what about it? Come on. Let's get out of here. Keep them close to the building, maybe. Head for the wall. They got the searchlights on. We ain't got a chance. Red, stop it, will you? We got plenty of chance. Stop here. What are we going to do now? There's plenty of open space between here and that wall. See that pile of boxes in the corner? All right, put them there this afternoon. They can run and jump and get over. We ain't got a chance. Them searchlights is all over the place. Stay here, if you want it. They're coming Red, they see us. Come on. This is our only chance. Wait for me, Red! Wait for me! In a moment of return for the second act of danger Dr. Danfield, but first, now back to our star, Michael Dunn, for the second act of danger Dr. Danfield. Now understand me, Doc. I'm not asking you to take this job. It's pretty dangerous. I'm really suggesting that here's an opportunity for you to study a real murderer at close range. Very clever, Captain Otis. You couldn't say anything that would make Dan more eager to take the job, and you know it. That's enough, Rusty. What makes you so sure that I'll find this Red Jacoby at 28 River Street, Captain? Well, because that's where he was living when we picked him up a year ago. I mean, his wife, Poppy, has been living there ever since. It strikes me that home would be the last place an escaped convict would attempt to hide out. Ah, exactly. A Red Jacoby is clever enough to realize that. I see. I think he feels that the police would be less likely to look in the more obvious places first. Yes. We've had a drag net out all over the country, and haven't even picked up our clue. So, now we're going to begin on his old honk. If Jacoby is as clever as you say, he'll realize that too. He won't be fool enough. I actually told you that then you... Who sent you? Why, you... Dan, tell that. I got itchy trigger finger. Who sent you? I've already told you. Who sent you? Listen, I... Who sent you? Lay off. Give it some red. Who sent you? Oh, who sent you? Oh, who sent you? Oh. Ah, that did it. He's out like a light. Yeah. I'll answer the door, Poppy. Poppy's this guy with the bull that we ordered. Okay. How about this punk? I'll take care of him. Go answer the door. Okay, red. Okay. Hey, okay. I'm coming. I'm your salesman. Yeah, what do you want? Good afternoon. I'm from the welfare board. We don't want no welfare. Well, I'm sorry, but you see in this district... I said we don't want no welfare. Cram. I'm sure you don't understand. You see... Look, sister, are you going to get out of here? Am I going to have to slap your ears down? Slap my ears. Well, perhaps you don't want any welfare after all. Now you'll catch on, baby. Get out. Well, all right. But I can't understand anyone who doesn't want... Got Dan in there. I just know they have. Something you want, miss? Have you public telephone? Yeah. Right over there on the wall. Thank you. Please, headquarters. I want to speak to Captain Otis, please. What was it you wanted, miss? This is Rusty Fairfax. It's very important that I speak to Captain Otis. Just a minute. Hello, Miss Fairfax. Say, I've been trying to get a hold of the duck. You see... Captain Otis. They've got Dan. They're holding him prisoner. Now, wait a minute, Miss Fairfax. Who's got him? Red Jacoby. They're holding him prisoner at 28 River Street. Holding him prisoner? Ha, ha, ha. I'm afraid you've been letting your imagination run away. Who are you? Red Jacoby was captured in Chicago an hour ago. What? Shorter's thing you know. It just came through on the teletype. Oh, they must have gotten the wrong man. They must have. I was there. I saw Dan go into the house and he didn't come out. Well, I wouldn't worry about it, miss. They're looking or are left with the back ways. Oh, he didn't. I'm sure of it. Oh, Captain Otis, you've got to help me. I'm sorry, Miss Fairfax. I've got a million things to do this afternoon. Tell Doc I'll call him tomorrow. No, wait. What? Captain Otis. Captain Otis. Oh, all right. It won't help me. I'll go there myself. Somebody's got to do something for Dan. In a moment we'll return for the third act of Danger Dr. Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for the third act of Danger Dr. Danfield. Are you puppy? Yeah, it's me, Red. Enough. How's the new talk? Are you kidding? Ain't no more a new talk than I am. The name's Danfield. Some kind of a doctor. How do you know? Well, it says so on the stuff I took out of his pocket. Oh. Probably them dumb cops sent him down here to snoop around. Oh. He ready? He's coming out of this. Yeah. I'm sure he didn't do his pace no good beating him up like that, Red. And there ain't nothing to what he's going to get. Hey, honk. Come on. Come on. Wake up. Huh? What? They're too rusty. What'd they say? Oh, rusty. Rusty. Who's he? He's coming at Red. Yeah, I'm wrecking. What's the matter? They got me, Rusty. They... They're not rusty. Oh, rusty. He's a girl, eh, Danfield? Yeah. My name isn't Danfield, is it? No. Listen, wise guy, we know all about you, see. We know that the cops sent you down here to snoop around. We know you're a doctor. And we know you don't work for no newspaper. Oh, you do. Yeah. We do. You told us all about it when you were to sleep. Danfield, I feel sorry for a jerk like you. You'd better begin feeling sorry for yourself. Captain Otis of the police department is waiting to hear from me, and if he doesn't, it's going to be... Oh, that's it, huh? Captain Otis is waiting to hear from you. Listen, Jughead, you ain't been in this game long enough to know any of the answers at all. Oh, no? No. Get this. Reggie Kobe was captured early this afternoon in Chicago. And Captain Otis knows all about it. Now, how do you like that? You're lying. OK, so I'm lying. But who knows, though? Knows that, but you, huh? So Otis, don't hear from you. So he comes looking for you. So he looks and don't find nothing. So how can he even prove you was here? Why, you dumb jerk! Wait a minute, Red. Wait a minute. Yeah? What's wrong? What's the matter with him? This rusty babe the guy just mentioned, what if she's a friend to his nibs here? So what if she is? Even a dumb guy like him might have a friend? Well, thank you. You're very flattering. Well, don't you get it, Red? That welfare babe, it was hurt with the rusty babe. What? Sure, she knew Danfield was coming here, so she comes around to see how he's doing, pretending to be a welfare... And you let her get away, huh? Well, I ought to smack you one right in the... Take it easy, Red. Wait a minute. I don't know who she was. You know who she was. She had any brains to figure it out. You know what will happen now? She'll go call us, Captain Orison. Listen... Somebody's at the door. It's probably the cops. It ain't the cops. It's that girl. Come on, let's see. If you aren't that girl, I'll sit and... Sit down at the end of the hall, and look out the window. Yeah. I'll just do that. Huh. Hey, Red, it's the girl all right. I'll go down, let her in. You keep out of sight. Yeah, okay, okay. Well, I don't gotta get away this time. I don't wanna worry about that. Well, if it ain't the welfare babe back again, didn't I tell you we don't want no welfare? I'm sorry. I lost one of my gloves, and I thought I might have dropped it here. Lost one of your gloves, huh? Well, come on in and look for it. Thank you. Okay, chicken, where's the other one? The what? The glove. You said you lost one. Where's the mate to it? Why, I, uh... I must have lost that one, too. Yeah. Oh, chicken, you kill me. What are you locking the door for? Dead. Hey, Red. Yeah, baby. Hi, hurry up. Who are you? My name's Jacoby, baby. Red Jacoby. Red Jacoby? Then Dan is here. You guessed it, Red. Your boyfriend's here, and he ain't leaving in a hurry, neither. What have you done to him? Dan! Dan! Listen to her. Well, to know what we've done to him. Boy, baby, we did something like this. Oh, you brute. Here, I'm a brute. Come snooping around here, will you? Ah, quit it, Red. You can have your fun later. Like now, we gotta start thinking. Well, the male stooge has probably already called the police. I had called the police. They're on their way now. Oh, so the cops is on their way now, huh? Boy, you got a hair for mine, too. No, take it easy, Red. We ain't got much time. Look, I got an idea. Yeah? What is it? Ain't so bad off. So long as we got these two, we can make a deal, can't we? Yeah. Puppy, you've got brains. We're sure we can make a deal. Sure. The cops can snooping around here. We can make a deal. We'll trade in a couple of corpses for a head start out of town. Oh, Dan, we'll never get these nuts loose. Yes, we will, Rusty. We've got to. The risks appear as though I can get at them. Well, even if we do get free, we'll never get out of this room. Cross that bridge when we come to it. There. I think that's not as loosening. Are you sure Captain Otis said that Red Jacoby was captured in Chicago? Of course I am. You wouldn't believe me when I told him you were being held prisoner here. I know Otis. He believed you, all right? Turn your wrists in as far as you can, will you? I mean, you probably thought someone was listening to your conversation and didn't want them to know you're suspicious. Oh, Dan, you really think so? Yes. There. That's not loose. Now see if you can slip your hand out of the ropes. No, it's still too tight. Do you think Captain Otis will come here? I know he will. So does Red. That's why we're being held prisoners. Red probably thinks he can make a deal with Otis. I'll try it now, will you? All right. I've got one hand free. Good. Now start getting me free. Otis know we're safe before he starts talking to Red. Dan, listen. That must be Captain Otis now. Sorry, William. Do as best I can. Wait a minute. There. I can help a little. There. One's coming. All right, now. Now, I think I can make it. There. There we are. We're not much better off. This room is... There's a window over there. Oh, Dan. This is nothing but an air shaft. It goes all the way down to the basement. What are we going to do? Those blankets are my bed, Rusty. Maybe if we nod to them together, we can... Well, it never reached the ground. Maybe not. I've got a good idea. Tie the blankets together, Rusty. Will you while I pull a bed over the window? All right. The police car stopped in front of the house. Yes. We don't get to Otis within the next few minutes. We'll never get to him. You know, just not one hand of this blanket around the bed post. Throw the other hand out the window. Will you, Rusty? All right. Oh, it doesn't come within 15 feet of the ground. Dan, I knew it. So did I. Dan, what are you going to do? I'm going to try and swing over to that drain pipe. It's our only chance. You can't do that. Yes, I can, Rusty. You'll have to do it, too. There's no time to think. You can't. But, Dan, you'll never make it. Sorry to disappoint you, Rusty. Now, come on, Rusty. I'll hold the blanket tight. I'm afraid, Dan. Now, there isn't time for you to be afraid. Come on. All right. Now, be careful. Take it easy. Don't look down whatever you do. All right. There we are. Dan, the plan's going to get away. No, it isn't. Here, now. I'll slide down. Come on, hurry up. It's coming loose. You still got a second or two, Rusty. Let yourself go. There, I'm down. Only a few more feet to go now. You all right? All right, Rusty. Here, I got you. Oh. You OK? I guess so. You think they heard? I got it. Well, outside the basement. But there's the door. You'll probably be locked. It is locked. Oh, Dan. Now what? Well, it isn't a very complicated affair, I don't think. I can't be able to open that with my pet knife. Suppose Captain Novus goes away. Oh, I'm afraid of him. Now, come on. It's terribly dark in here. The light from that door is enough. And look, there's some stairs. Now, keep quiet. Come on. Can you hear voices? So can I. It's probably Captain Novus talking to Red. Here's the door. Wait a minute. I'll open it and crack it. Oh, all right, Jicoby. I haven't any alternative. You'll release Doc Danfield in this Fairfax Unharmed. And I'll promise you a 24-head start out of town. Copper, that's what I call being smart. Hey, Poppy. I don't trust no copper, no matter what he says. How do we know that... It seems to me, Poppy, that you have less choice than I have. Now, this house is completely surrounded. And if you'd rather not... I get it, Copper. Poppy, you talk too much. All right, get out now. On the contrary, Captain, I think you better come in. Danfield. Get him, Red. Oh, no, you don't. Look out, Dad. Put him away. Fortress, little Captain. OK, right. I like this. Fine, Red. And how do you like this? In a moment of return for the conclusion of Danger Dr. Danfield, but first, I'll put a conclusion of... Danger Dr. Danfield. Sir, I know that the police don't make deals, Doc. I'd gotten you into that mess and I felt that you were my personal responsibility. And I don't think we don't appreciate it, Captain. I'd hate to think what would have happened to us if we hadn't come down that drain pipe. Yeah, almost hadn't anyway when the drain pipe broke. Well, it's all over now. Now, wait a minute, Doc. I guess how were you so sure that Red was living at 28 River Street when Poppy was showing you through the house? Well, the bottle of hair dye which Poppy had carefully left on the dresser for one thing, Captain. Well, I don't see how that would have told you anything. I know a couple of women who dye their hair, believe it or not. Oh, really? Well, there was something else. I found it in the waste basket. Yeah? What was it? An empty carton from a tube of shaving cream, Captain. Oh, the giant size tube. Carton looks fresh. Oh, nice going, Doc. Very nice. But that doesn't answer my question. Oh, what's that, Rusty? Am I still fired? Fired? Oh, yes, yes, I remember. No, no, no, that was what is known as an emergency measure, Rusty. As soon as we get back to the office, my dear, I'll rehire you properly.
