 and now act two of the man from Medicine Bow starring Sonny Tubbs. It is now the morning after, and Dave Sherman is talkering about his apartment, looking a little bit wrackled. What a little sleep he did manage to get was beset by all manner of lurid dreams concerning underworld triggermen with flat noses and cauliflower ears. He hasn't the vaguest notion that his meeting with Slapsy O'Connor was a carefully rigged bit of high whimsy, and if he did, it's doubtful that he would appreciate the humor. At the moment he is pawing through the morning papers in quest of a little diversion to quell his fevered thoughts. All of a sudden, Whamble, a startling headline looms up before his jaundiced eyes, then does unpleasant things to the region of his solar plexus. In a veritable tizzy, he yanks the telephone out of its cradle and frantically dials Connie Bannister. You sure Miss Bannister's not there? Well, she heard about the robbery? Well, the robbery by her father's bank. They did it. Never mind, listen. Slapsy O'Connor is supposed to come to his apartment at three o'clock. If he shows up, don't let him in. Meanwhile, I'll try to hit him up in the club. Bye. Slapsy. What do you want, mugs? Can't you see I'm talking on the phone? Slapsy, there's a guy out here named Sherman, Dave Sherman. He says he knows who pulled that job this morning. What? Now, some stupid looking for a cut in, eh? Yeah. I'll call you back, Lifty. I gotta take care of something. Okay, I'll ditch this bag. You let him in. I'll stick around. He may make trouble. All right. Hey, you. Come on in. Sure, thanks. Now, look here, O'Connor. You've got the... Hey. Yeah? What? Some mistake, guys. I want to see Slapsy O'Connor. I am O'Connor. What about it? Oh, kid, man. Look, I know O'Connor. Miss Bannister and I had dinner with him. One of his malls. Or one of his lady friends here last night. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was here last night. I remember now. I've seen you with that Park Avenue bunch. The Park Avenue bunch? What? Wait a minute. Let me get it, man. Yeah, I guess I'm wrong, Miss Bannister. You see, I'm a stranger in town. I guess I'm just running my way around. So, I'll be running along. There's no where you are. Now, wait a minute. Now, I don't know who you are, but you played a bump card this time. Fresco Muggs. I don't think your father would better try that. No, no. Turn around. Uh... Oh, sure. You mean that like this? Oh, look out, Miss Bannister. Now, he's going to throw you over his head. Take a look. Don't wave. Remember, I saw you shoot. Punch him full. Break. Don't wave. Come on. Come on. Conner. Back against the wall. Both of you. Move. Yeah, no. I'll look here. Okay. I'll look. You know what I mean, do as I say and move fast. Now, where's that dough? Oh, we have... Don't give me that. If the money wasn't here, you wouldn't be. Better make up your mind, O'Connor. Hey, he means it. Slapsy. It's right over there, bud. Thanks. Well, look, look, look. You. You don't think you're going to get away with it? Hang on your trailer. Yeah. Now get smart. Make a split. You wouldn't call it square. Well, I'm sorry, old boy. You see, I've got other plans, O'Connor. I don't need all this dough. Now, wait a minute. Wait. Stand back. Hope you don't mind waiting in the middle. I'll get on the way. What's the long and thanks for saving me a lot of trouble? Ow! Well, how do you like that? Come on. He's locked it from the outside. Come on. Come on. The car's in the alley, ain't it? Why do you think we're going to a train like that? Hey, Glassman. Well, we could carry it on from now on out. Oh, sure, Connie. Hey, what's happened to you? Don't tell me you've gone soft for Mr. White Open's faces. Well, it's a dirty trick. Suppose we went to Wyoming. We'd be pretty green ourselves. We wouldn't expect the people we... Well, that is our friends who try to make fools of us. Connie's right. Suppose we just use the gag again when he just gets here and then we'll let him in on it. You know, I want to see his face when Connie tells me. Hiya, Connie. Oh, Dave. Here you are. Hello, Slapsy. Hiya, Margie. Hello. Glad you showed, Wyoming. I thought you might have gotten cold feet. Cold feet? Yeah. I guess you people haven't seen the papers. Here. Read this. Bank holder. Yeah, that's right. A $200,000 job. You know, it's my nice to Slapsy here to tip me off on it. Well, I tip... I tip you. Well, sure. I'll hold it without you, you see. Dave. Dave, you didn't rob that bank yourself. No. Open that bag. Why, I... Look, it's money. It's thousands. Exactly $200,000. That's what the paper said. That thought I'd wait till now. You see, since you gave me the steer, Slapsy, I wanted to cut you in. Cut me in? Listen to me. You didn't really do this thing. You couldn't. Why, that bank belongs to my father. Talk to your friend. It was his idea. You fool. This whole thing was just a gag. You can't take it seriously. No. Why can't I? But you'll get caught, Dave. You'll be in a terrible jam. I suppose I do. What's that to you? It's a lot to her, if you really want to know. After you left last night, she said she wondered where Wyoming had been all her life. Do you say that? Connie, did you say that? I suppose I did. Come here. Well, Dave, please, I'm sorry. I didn't really mean to... teeth. Grushy. Kissed her. Well, that settles that. Connie, you're coming with me. And what? You're coming with me. This gang string is a waste of time unless you've got a mall to hang diamonds on and you'll do for me. Get the money and let's go. Why, you big overgrown moron. If you think I'd go away with you and with my father's money. Well, I could steal somebody else's money, you know. Well, you get out of here. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Toss me that bag, please. Here you are. It's too bad, Connie. Do you really swell together in post offices? Well, I guess a guy can't have everything. So long. Can you be having nightmares and still have your eyes open? Connie, what's happened to that guy? Is that all you're going to do? Ask questions? We've got to stop him. We may have started all this, but that doesn't mean we can't finish it, too. Hey, who are you calling? The police. I'm going to call them and... All right. Put down that phone and quit. Who are you? How dare you break in here? Maybe she wants us to come in the front way and send up our names. All right, lady, where is he? Just tell us quick and there'll be no trouble. Where is who? Connie, these men must be detectives. Detectives. Can you get that Slapsy? Slapsy? Connie, he's Slapsy O'Connor. Slapsy O... Oh, this is wonderful. Don't you get it? No. Oh, get what? Now, look there, Mrs. Slappy. This whole thing, it's all a joke. He's simply trying to fool us with our own trick. Oh, it's wonderful. And I think we almost fell for it. All right, Mr. Whatever your name is, relax. You both did a grand job. Oh, lady, I'm warning you. Oh, now don't be stubborn. Hey, Connie, look out. He is Slapsy O'Connor. I have seen his picture. Your friend's right, Miss. And there's none of us doing any more laughing. Where's that cowboy? Yo, I said where's that guy? Me? He's right here, O'Connor. Dave! Drop those guns and put them up both here. I dropped mine. And now you, O'Connor. Yeah? Yeah! Oh! Honey, are you all right? All right, here's the place in here. Come on in, guys. All right. All right, who's this fellow chairman who's some for the police? I sent for you, officer. You'll find that Eastern National Bank money over there in that bag. That money from... Is this on the level? Well, it should be. This is Slapsy O'Connor and the other one is Mugs Halstead. Well, I'll be an Irish cop. What about the rest of these people? Well, I'm... I can't tell you much about the men, you see, but I'll be glad to swear in court that this girl told me she was Slapsy O'Connor's maul. Dave, don't tell them that. As for the other one... Dave, Dave, you win. We admit it. Please, officer, I'm Connie Bannister and these people are all my friends. You're the men you want. Yeah? Well, I'll take your word for it. For now. Come on on, you two. Let's go. Oh, Mr. Sherman, you... Yes, sir, man. I'll have to confess that... Maybe we'd better be going. Come on. Because we might have tried to stay quiet. And who would have cared if we did? Why don't you say something? Why don't you? Dave, I want you to know... I want to... Sorry. Well, I really... My turn? Your turn. Well, Wyoming, use me. How about it? Just like that? Just like that. I mean, well, you said you wanted... Well, Wyoming had been all your life. You did say that, didn't you? Mm-hmm. My turn? Your turn. Yes, ma'am. I've... I've got an idea. I'm gonna know where Wyoming is for the rest of my life. And so the curtain falls in the last act to demand for medicine bowls starring sunny tufts. In just a moment, a word from our star, but first, an important message from our government. Nurse anesthetists, did you know that you may be eligible for appointment at the Army Nurse Corps Reserve in the grade of captain? The requirements are seven years of professional nursing experience, one year of practicing anesthesiology, and, of course, your certificate from the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. A captain's base pay is $313.50 monthly plus subsistence allowance. Write for further details today to the Surgeon General, Department of the Army, Washington, 25 D.C. Now once again, our star and our host, C.P. McGregor. That was doing the expected, and in spades no less sunny, which means giving us a fine performance. Tell us, how come you gave up the full monitor for plain sunny? Well, I'll tell you, C.P., it is kind of funny, but you see, people have been calling me sunny for a long time, but I really decided on it when I graduated from Yale. I wasn't exactly what you might call the Phi Beta Kappa Timber and commencement, and I walked up to get my diploma. The president of Yale said, well, sunny, just like that, you know. As if he hadn't expected me up there for another 10 years. Anyway, I thought if sunny was good enough for the president of Yale, it was good enough for me, good enough for me. Tell us, how did you get started in pictures? Well, C.P., I'd been working as master ceremonies in New York nightclubs and hotels and things, and some of you said, why didn't you try pictures? So out I came, and with me was, as far as Jack Brownlee, and Pave the way, but he actually was no agent, but he knew a few people here. He called a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, one of those things, you know, in the paramount... Oh, an appointment was arranged, and Jack... Well, the casting department broke all directives and ordered a test. That's really one for the book. What then, Sonny? Well, they gave me a handful of scripts and asked me to pick a scene that I liked. And the funny part was, I chose one that looked vaguely familiar and played it all the way through for laughs. And then I found out a little bit later that I'd burlesque Charles Boyer's most tender love scene with Irene Dunn in love affair. I need trick if you can get away with it. Well, Sonny, thanks again for spending an evening with us. Well, I enjoyed it very much, C.P., and, you know, I sell a mission program. There's no kidding. And anytime you want me back, I'll be around. I love it. Well, I certainly appreciate that, and I'm going to ask you to join us again real soon. And now, Sonny, ladies and gentlemen, next week we will present another favorite of yours, Michael O'Shea, who will star in a fast action story titled Fighters Always Come Back. This is the story of a great ring champion who was framed in a tidal bout the long trail back to the rosin and squared circles. I know you'll enjoy every minute of it, so be sure to join us. Until next week then, this is C.P. McGregor saying thanks for listening and cheerio from Hollywood. You can currently see the Hollywood coordinate of Eddie with the rainiest holy appearance of all stars in this program. The script was by Paul Franklin for the music of Eddie Dunn-Steppen. His program is transcribed in Hollywood by the name of Michael O'Shea. Wendell Niles speaking.
