you and I'm glad you got here so fast what's Boston blackie been up to now he held me here in my office at the point of a gun inspector he was going to force me to go with him unless unless what unless I stopped selling me that ceiling prices and went into the black market now wait a minute Faraday that's ridiculous you know that can't be right I don't know nothing oh you know a thing or two you're just being modest I'm a reputable merchant inspector I've been in business for years this blackie person wanted me to make this plan his headquarters for illegal meat sale Faraday listen he claims I pulled a gun on him I don't even have a gun was in his hand when you came in that door inspector well blackie that don't make any difference he can make anything disappear thanks some day I hope he goes to work on himself this Williams is head of a black market range that's not true not only that but he's got a couple of thugs that have an obsession about my collecting old age that's ridiculous please take blackie with the inspector I'll prefer chance I'll wait a minute inspector I know I've tricked you when we've been playing hide-and-go-seek for years on but I've never gone back in my word now have I that's right and I'm not going to try any tricks I just want you to come with me to a young lady's apartment oh now really I want you to meet two friends of Mr. Williams and if I can't prove that my story is true well I'll I'll go downtown with you now nothing could be fairer than that sounds all right but then you can make anything sound okay you want me to see a gal who'll set me right on this whole thing that's right okay blackie I'll give you a chance to square yourself but remember this better not be a run around this is the apartment inspector come on in oh it's me June it's his blackie I'm here with inspector Faraday inspector Faraday well hello hello June would you mind telling the inspector about that black market ring that threatened you what black market

everything claims you never saw you before come on let's go now I can't go with you inspector I've got to find out what this is all about sorry blackie figured out while you're waiting trial Faraday will you listen this girl is lying and I can prove it if you give me time give you I'll give you a time blackie you're coming with me and keep your hands where I can see them come on over here to the telephone I'm going to get you an escort downtown okay inspector but you're making a great mistake according to you I always make them so what's the difference remember blackie I'm keeping my eye and my gun on you get me please headquarters like he's not playing on that telephone cord you make me nervous I'm not playing with it inspector get the wire off my gun blackie you're breaking my wrist sorry inspector let go of the gun you're going back on your word now you never did that before I'm sorry but I've got to be free to get the head of that black market ring and put a ring right through his nose come in shorty well I oh what are you doing here she made me bring her down here to your waterfront hideout for so that's fine what do you mean she made you she came to the apartment she was crying oh boy she you know I can't stand to see a poor dame cry blackie you've got to listen to me yeah yeah I listened to you once I know I lied to inspector Faraday but I had to well that's fine why don't you tell it to Faraday I can't tell inspector Faraday I lied I can't you can't do this you can't do that you sound like the summer sisters why did you make sure to bring it down here so that I could beg you to please forget all about me in the black market ring well forgetting about you will be a pleasure I don't blame you for feeling that way but believe me it's for the good of everyone for you to forget about all this believe you are you kidding you almost did once I almost died once too and I've no desire to try that again either you wanted to help me when I was in trouble blackie I'm still in trouble but the only way you can help me now is to drop this whole black market case and you're the girl I thought was going to help win the war. John there's no point in your coming here to see me but George I didn't even know you were here in the city and then to find out what you're doing how in the world did you ever get started on this. Just why should I explain that to you John. I can't understand you and dad couldn't either when you ran away from the ranch five years ago you broke dad's heart and not hearing from you after that didn't help any I don't see why you should complain dad left the ranch to you didn't he yes but what else could he do but it's worked out all right anyway you've done a good job John raising good cattle that's helped me in my business but black market George you call that a business I don't go for those names all I know is I'm making money and incidentally John it wasn't in my plans that you should know who I am and it's your own fault that you do you get mixed up with this Boston blackie and I had something to do about it well well this is convenient finding the two of you here together Boston blackie. Well now who wants to talk first you Williams I get nothing to say to you Boston blackie I see how about you June I can't tell you anything well let me tell you then Williams you ought to pick smarter stooges or I might say you ought to pick a dumb stooge one who can't talk you see Steve talked with a little persuasion of course but he talked so Williams I know that you're really Parker June's brother but blackie June that explains a great deal to of course you made Faraday very happy by pretending not to know me but you didn't make me very happy please blackie you've got to listen to me look I didn't know that my brother was going into the name of Williams and when I found out I was so stunned I didn't know what to do except I knew I couldn't turn him over to the police now I know he deserves to be well sister I got a yes I think so blackie you said it was very convenient having two of us here well I think it's very convenient having the two of you here this gun is very convenient to put them up for the Georgie Georgie did anyone ever tell you what happens to little boys who play with fire both of you stuck your noses into my business June always did and I'm used to that in any way she's my sister but I don't have to take her from you Boston blackie well you have something there Georgie not to mention the gun June would you please leave the room if I'm right in supposing what your charming brother intends to do with me it well it won't be very pretty George you wouldn't please June do as I say please June it's all my fault I got you into this I didn't know that my old brother blackie I thought you know June for a man raised on a ranch your brother isn't very quick on the trigger personally I'm very glad because it gave me a chance to show him his mistake blackie what did you do to George can I see him well little later he's busy right now you see he's got a thousand pounds of steaks hanging in this wholesale plant and he's looking for one little piece of beef
