And America's biggest cola value. So why take less when Pepsi is best? Whenever you reach for a refreshment, remember. Why take less when Pepsi is best? And now, to counter spy. Unfortunately, it is happening almost every day and night. In Detroit, the darkened windows of a store. The stealthy figures of two boys approaching. Then... Hands reaching in among the goods on display. And escape. Or in Los Angeles, late at night, a suburban resident nears his home. When suddenly, from behind, young law breakers seem to be everywhere. In St. Louis, Boston, Philadelphia, and in Brooklyn. Where juvenile gangs are organized on a highest level. On the rumble against the Crescent, our president, Whitey Benson, wants to say something to your members at a blue day. Now, Chris told you guys how some of them characters from the Crescent pushed one of our boys around this afternoon again. This is the last time they get away with it, see. Tonight, we're putting them Crescents out of business. Like I told you, when I organized the Blue Jays, you leave everything to Whitey Benson. We're going places, see. And we ain't going to be in this coming cellar for long, either. Soon we're going to have a real classy clubhouse, pool tables and all. Us Blue Jays is going to end up the top dog outfit in Brooklyn. Steve. Yeah, Whitey? You and Chris take your boys and brief them for the rumble, like I laid it out. Got you, Whitey. Okay. Now, all you guys will get your instructions from my two waste men. We move in on a Crescent's clubhouse at 10.30. Tonight. 10.28, Whitey. All set, Steve. You're all set. My boys have their bats and axes ready. Quiet. We march on them in a minute. Steve, what about Chris? Don't worry about Chris, Whitey. He'll be on time with this guy. He's not due at the corner down there until 10.29. There he is now. Yeah. He's signalin' us. Now, remember, Steve, if the cops come before we finish those Crescent scatter, I'll meet you and Chris back at a clubhouse after we tie this up. Right. 10.29, Whitey. Should I give Chris the signal? Yeah. Let's go. Come on, gang. This is it. You two waste men of mine done a swell job tonight. And that finishes the Crescent's for good, huh, Whitey? Yeah, Steve. For real. Now that he ain't got no more clubhouse, they'll come around begging to join us bluejays. That was the main idea I had, Chris. Before we're finished, we're taking in every club in his territory. We're taking in every club in his territory. Now, the reason I had you and Steve meet me here at the clubhouse was extra special. What's up, Whitey? Tomorrow night, I got a little caper plan for just the three of us. What kind of caper? Something real special. Pull up chairs and listen close to what I gotta say. Tomorrow night, I'm breaking you two into the big time. I'm breaking you two into the big time. I'm breaking you two into the big time. You got everything straight, Steve? I think so, Whitey. I stand here in the corner and keep my eyes open. I see a flat foot coming. I give the signal to Chris in front of the store. That's it. Chris, let's go. Whitey. Listen, Whitey. What are you shaking in your pants about, Chris? I never did nothing like this before. Aren't you scared the first time? I was never scared. I got my whole life. I just hope there won't be no trouble. Didn't I tell you the old lady who runs the store, she's got one foot in the grave already? She'll take a squint of my zip gun and do just like I tell her. Oh, you won't have to use the gun. Will you, Whitey? I love Chris. Stop acting like you have just got a kindergarten. There's a store. Don't forget. Keep a watch with these signals. I'll be out in less than five minutes. What can I do for you? Get back at a cash register and open. What? This is a stick-up, Mama. I do like I tell you. You don't scare me, you rotten little hoodlum. You hoodlum, you... Mama, you got just two seconds to open our cash register. That toy don't you got? I'm not scared. You'll see what kind of toy this 22 is if you don't get started for me. I'm not moving an inch. I know kids like you, meaty cowards, dirty little hoodlums. Luffa. Luffa, huh? You shot her. Sure. You got her lying there. She's waking up. Whitey, I thought you killed her. Get out of my way, Chris. What are you going to do? Why aren't you loading your gun again? I go. The old man's got a good attack on me. You know I'm on probation. I'll send me up at 20. I'll look out. Whitey, don't do it, please. Let's get out of here. Catherine Griffin waiting to see you by appointment. Oh, yes. Come in, Miss Griffin. Hi, Miss Griffin. Nice to see you again. Hey, let me move this chair closer. Thank you. Mr. Harding, you recall our talk last year during the National Police Conference in Washington. Oh, of course, Miss Griffin. Are you still attached to the juvenile court in Brooklyn? Hmm. In charge of the probation section now. Oh, and having a rough time. Very rough. I learned you were here in the New York Counter-Spice Field Office, and I realized as to how you were a busy man, but I hoped you could spare me a little time. Well, certainly, Miss Griffin. Of course, Mr. Harding's juvenile delinquency in Brooklyn doesn't come under counter-spice jurisdiction. Well, Miss Griffin, juvenile delinquency is ceased to be a local problem. Besides, we're always ready to lend a hand wherever we can. And from all reports, you people in Brooklyn have a big problem. Mr. Harding, we estimate there are at least 70 juvenile gangs with a membership of over 6,000. Not a pretty picture, is it? It gets uglier every day, Mr. Peters. Their numbers are increasing and their crimes get worse. They've gone from gang wars to fevering to murder. Or just two days ago, a store owner in the Red Hook section was shot by 22-caliber bullets. The gun was later found in the vacant lot, a homemade weapon. A zip gun, they call it. Yes, I think we have one of those right here. Sent to us for inspection. They made out of a block of wood, a antenna wire, a door lock, and a spring. Ah, no lethal weapon it is. In the last month, we've arrested five boys carrying guns like that. Each boy was under 17. One was only 13. Our main problem is the unhealthy fear these boys have for officers of the law. Miss Griffin, that unhealthy fear you mentioned interested me. When a boy joins a gang, he's taught to hate and fear policemen. They immediately become his mortal enemies. And naturally, the kings of the underworld become his heroes. I call it negative hero worship. That's one of the big obstacles in our past. The moment these boys see a police uniform, they run. Well, Peters, Miss Griffin has just given me an idea. Let's take advantage of this negative hero worship. And prove to these youngsters there's a difference between a hero and a healer. That's a good question. There's this sucker walking toward us. Get ready, Steve. Right, Marty. Bump on him so hard, he takes a good flop. Chris. I'm missing a wedding. No matter what, you stick here in a doorway. Right. Watch how this sucker is handled. Oh, gee, Mr. I'm sorry. I didn't see you. Look, we were gone. You won't have to be sorry. Steve, I told you to watch out, didn't I? Oh, yeah, why? But, Mr. Don't mind this jerky fellow. Mind he's always bumping into somebody. I told him that I was... Shut up. Yeah, mister. Let me give you a hand. Thanks, kid. You ain't hurt, are you, mister? No. You gotta tell your little pal to keep his eyes in front of him. Someday he'll bump into the wrong guy. Someday he'll bump into the wrong guy. Hey, you're characters. How do you like that for a lot? Pretty good, huh? Hey, with some of that dough we can fix up this club room, huh, Whitey? How much in the wallet, Whitey? 30 bucks, Steve. 80? Yeah, sure, Don. It's smooth, Whitey. You're gonna have to touch the roller, sucker. Smart, Chris. Just touch. It's quite easy, sir. He never knows where to hit him. I can pick him, huh? Just the way the schmaw was dressed, I could tell he was lord. It's like a talent. He's gotta be able to spot. Whitey. He only nuts Whitey. He didn't give the right eyes. Maybe he's to cut, Whitey. What are we gonna do? Place down, boy. Come on, come on, open up. Whitey, it is to cut. I told you to place down. I know you're in there. Open up or I'll bust the door down. You can't see, but I'll do the stuff. Give me one more second. Open the door. Okay. Keep your shirt on. I'm coming. All right, smart guy. Let's have a wallet. Wallet? What wallet are you talking about, mister? I suppose the next thing you're gonna say is you don't know me. That's right. I never saw you before. What about your pal here, this one? Me? Me, me, mister? I don't mean your grandmother. You never saw you before, either, mister. Did you see? No. No. You're the two little punks who rolled me on 12, 3, 15 minutes ago. Us? Roll? Uh-huh. You gotta mix that with somebody else, mister. This here is the Blue Jay's club room. We was having a meeting. We've been here all the time. Right, Chris? For sure. We've been here all the time, one. You see, mister? Come on, hand it to the wallet. I told you, mister, we... I can't get a hand at all. Do my arm! The wallet, honey boy, with the eddy button. Come on. The bust of my arm. Stop, will you? When I get the wallet... Stop! Well... Okay. Little, little. More like it. What? You gotta have the tux to roll a sucker smart. Why do you need a tux? Life means easy, so he never knows what's hidden. White. He was outside all the time. He heard. The next time you and your boys try a roll, you better be sure of the mark you pick out. Well, you chumps know I might have been a cop just laying for you. Then you're not a cop? I look like one. No. Why? You looked at the cards in my wallet. You know who I am. Dutch Malloy. You look Dutch Malloy from that Chicago mop? Is there another one? Dutch Malloy. Who here shot you like that? Of all the guys that picked Dutch Malloy. Out of everybody walking the streets of Brooklyn. Why do you pick Dutch Malloy to roll? Of all the guys, Dutch Malloy! Cut it out, sir! Cut it out, sir! Help me up, Mr. Hemden! It's a matter of why do you know sense of humor? So, I make one mistake. So what? Anybody can make a mistake, can't they? You wanna say in this business you don't make no mistakes. it's not even one Dutch what are you doing here in Brooklyn you're gonna be around long Dutch couple of weeks Chris why well if you had some extra time maybe maybe you could come around and give us some pointers huh some tips on the ins and outs of the business hey what do you want to bother Dutch with this kid stuff for Dutch is a busy
