see a guy before you that McCoy talked over that coffin for almost an hour about how much he thought of the late Benny thrush huh Casey that's right and was it hard to take I can sure imagine miss Williams it's a dirty shame the cops can't do anything three killings I guess to make a case the cops that have to find the gun practically right in his murder and hands wouldn't they man ain't much chance of them doing that I've one chance in a million again ever tell her way to bring me some coffee will you okay miss Williams uh yeah please will you have that coffee on me Kansas Mr. Brockmore hello miss Williams Casey the folks at your office told me I'd probably find you here at this blue note cafe you were looking for me Kansas yeah hey Edelbert shake hands with Detective Throckmorton Detective Throck this is the first time I ever met a cop by the name of Throckmorton it's kind of funny this is the first time I ever met a bartender by the name of Ethel Burt hey what's funny about that yeah say Casey that was a mighty fine picture you took at the funeral yesterday I saw it in this morning's paper yeah that shot of the coffin on McCoy's floral piano didn't turn out pretty good at that cop oh that picture yeah which picture are you talking about oh well I uh miss Williams I know this ain't very polite but do you mind if I take Casey out the side door there for a minute it's a private police business no go ahead I don't mind at all oh thank you man if you don't mind I'm right with you Kansas but I'll hear us out here now what's it all about oh I uh hey Casey I'm going to ask you a big favor huh that that fine picture of Benny Thrush's widow that's in the paper oh that was the picture that you were yeah that was well now will you make me a print of it Casey like it goes into frame well sure I will yeah but why do you cops want it well us cops don't want it only me or you yeah this is the personal Casey oh guess I'm a little slow you like the widow's look sir I ain't gonna lie to you she's the prettiest little woman I ever did see oh wait a minute we got acquainted with her yet no but I was just thinking that if it ain't asking you too much will you introduce me someday all formal and proper life hello Kansas hasn't anybody told you the bat McCoy suspected of bumping off Valerie's husband so he could make a wedding march play for the widow well all of his cops suspect that and you want to try to cut in on that kill Casey when I get a fear of skunks I'll resign from the police department well that's the way you feel I'll get you acquainted with Mrs. Thrush tomorrow Casey I won't ever be able to pay you for this big favor you've already paid me Kansas yes you give me an idea look our coffee's getting cold Kansas we better get back inside yeah well hey that's Bill Cullen talking to miss William hey come on over I'll introduce you all right well back again hello Bill Bill I want you to meet the new detective on a police force Clarence Throckmorton uh Clarence don't say it just call me Kansas Bill fair enough Kansas you can call Bill Curley oh no Anne what have I done to deserve that nickname if he can just we always tease Bill about having an eye for uh curly headed women oh me too Mr. Cullen nothing I admire like real naturally curly hair except maybe real natural curly blonde hair you better watch out if the bird you can be fooled you know today you just can't tell which is the girl with the natural curl and which is the girl with the Tony many a girl with a Tony has been asked if she had naturally curly hair that's because gentle Tony waves actually look and feel like naturally curly hair those lovely deep waves comb into place so easily the soft ring that ends curl around your finger there's no harshness no frizzy stage to live through when you have a Tony because even on the very first day a Tony wave looks soft and lustrous and natural you can give yourself a Tony tomorrow and tomorrow night have hair so lovely people will think you were born with a natural wave just remember only Tony gives you this twin guarantee your Tony wave is guaranteed to last just as long as the most expensive wave you've ever had and your Tony is guaranteed to look more natural or your money back so it's no wonder more than two million women each month choose Tony home permanent more than two million that's a lot of women yes each month and other two million women have lovely long lasting Tony waves how about you hey see i don't like your idea at all but it's beginning to work Logan sooner than i expected to it's just a couple of months since i introduced Kansas to Valerie Thresh but the guy is so honestly crazy about her that i think she's already gotten that way about him and what's more important bat McCoy is found out about it boy is he burning i know McCoy's sore i mean i have telling him report that he followed Kansas home last night it took a very thoughtful gander at the windows of the house well that swell getting ready to pull something yeah he follows his standard grudge murder pattern he's getting ready to pull that 30 30 out of his hiding place which is exactly what we want we want to find that rifle in McCoy's hands Casey and we want to find him attempting another murder with it but we don't want him to commit that murder look i've got that all figured out Logan and i got the answers yeah look we're almost certain now that McCoy is planning to rub out Kansas and it's a thousand to one that he'll make the try in his usual way his usual successful yes but this time we picked the time in the place well if we can do it we can the time will be tomorrow night in the place this is thrush's apartment this is thrush's apartment he lives on the first floor with nice big windows facing the street look now McCoy watching from park car across the street is going to see something in that apartment it'll make him use that 30 30 you're going to arrange for the killer to be there and see it uh-huh and you'll be hiding close enough to nab him with the goods and giving me the complete details i'll be very glad to pal and even a dumb cop like yourself we'll see what a sense this is going to be tell the dumb cop more okay now listen Kansas knows he's in danger from bat but he doesn't know that we've deliberately planned to set him up as a decoy excuse me you deliberately all right okay i've deliberately planned we'll come clean with Kansas tomorrow morning and give him the whole city and you'll come clean with him all right i'll come clean now look Valerie so far doesn't know a thing she doesn't even suspect that McCoy gave her husband the works but we need plenty of cooperation from a now Logan so we i mean i i am going to her apartment this evening give her the complete picture and tell her what she has to do to help us before you continue you're sure she will help us well of course she will sure she'll even thank me for the chance to do it well Valerie that's the whole story full and complete it's been a pretty horrible story Mr Casey i simply can't believe that you and the police has suspected all along that that bat McCoy killed my husband because because of me yeah kid now i've told you how that you can help us to make him pay for what he did you've told me a lot of things but some of them you tried to cover up uh Kansas Mr Clarence Throckmorton you brought him here he was nice to me he made me like him trust him not because he liked me but but because you and he wanted the glory of solving a crime glory hey Valerie i don't want to hear another word from you all right mr Casey i'll help the law catch the killer of my husband when bat McCoy phones me this evening as he always does i'll make a date with him for tomorrow night then later i'll break it and let him know that mr Throckmorton will be here in his place i'll do everything you've asked me to but i never want to see you again mr Casey well Valerie get out of this house but Valerie get out and tell mr clarence throckmorton that i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him so mrs benny thrush didn't thank you for the chance to help us Casey she practically threw me out of her apartment yeah but she did promise to do what i asked her her help won't do any good unless you get full cooperation from Kansas and he isn't going to feel too friendly when he hears i have wrecked his romance well let me worry about that okay maybe you better worry a little about selling him on the job he's got to do tomorrow night that won't be any trouble at all we'll see in just an hour from now when he reports here at my office no Captain Logan i won't have no part of this schema case he's Valerie might get hurt look she'll be a hundred percent safe that's what you say sure Kansas the scheme is fool proof it don't sound that way to me Logan will you convince this chump me Casey now look here it's time to stop kidding and needling each other we're out to get a three-time killer aren't we yes we are and i think your scheme is sound detective throckmorton yes captain now this is an order you'll do exactly as Casey is requested i won't do it sir you won't no sir you know what that means yes sir here's my gun here's my shield look here man when you join the force you assumed a duty you can't just i never assumed no duty you're putting a woman in bad danger and i am quit the longer cop you're going to Valerie's apartment of a suitor right now yeah right now oh i've seen enough of women to know that you might persuade her and i'm not giving it a chance oh Casey feel like a skunk for hitting him logan the only way to save our plan oh chump this KO you handed him won't last more than a minute or two it's long enough to put him in charge of your police surgeon police yes sure under medical observation for the next several hours they want to have the doc strapping to a bed will you in your emergency hospital here at headquarters and keep him there until after we do our stuff tonight i can't pull a phony like that yet don't we lose our chance to get mccoy logan everything's set can't let kansas spoil it kansas is the guy mccoy wants to kill kansas and i are the same size we've got the same color hair if i put on his clothes and mccoy sees only my back you sure sure from across the street he'll be certain that i'm kansas hey okay casey all right get the doc and give him his orders but is kansas gonna be sore at you yeah he'll be sore at me valerie is sore at me uh oh just thought of more trouble uh the gimmick of our scheme is that mccoy's going to see kansas and valerie pull a hot hollywood kiss you don't think she'll do it with you what i'm worried about is that an williams will be with you tonight logan so what well she's on an out-of-town assignment right now i can't get hold of her to explain my substituting for kansas and if things aren't explained before she finds out that i'm the guy that she'll be seeing making who will with valerie well he's going to get the wrong idea hey that is possible well it's a certainty think no more about it casey when she meets me tonight i'll explain everything logan i depend on that of course don't always trust you in personal matters well if that isn't a fine thing to say to a pal are you sure about mccoy is in that sedan captain logan positive miss williams mccoy is in the backseat watching those windows across the street as we are you wouldn't bat her watching those windows i'm keeping my eyes mostly on that sedan watching for the end of a rifle barrel to make its appearance now you'll have to move awfully fast if and when it does if mccoy has a chance to fire at kansas and i are prepared to move fast miss williams well of course mccoy can't do anything until kansas shows himself behind one of those windows again what's happening there why is just uh one minute tonight you'll show yourself in one minute this was casey's scheme he must know the time you and kansas said well then why isn't he here as i've told you he said he'd join us in time to get pictures where do you suppose he is no idea 30 seconds watch that window on the right miss williams yeah i am kansas and valery have been out of sight all this time i think they've been uh mixing romance with the business captain could be you know how it is when a guy and a gal get together and valery is a beautiful gal any man could fall for a gal like valery those red heads dynamite so i've heard captain i see valery behind that window now and kansas with his back to us watch that carman right here again oh what they're doing behind that window is that five-star embrace part of the script that guy is really putting personality into it i'll say and apparently he's done a lot of rehearsing sure looks that way miss williams they're breaking it up now this ought to be it man the car he wouldn't hurt the girl but now he can land his sights on the guy alone it is it you filed that right get him in why did you wait so long why'd you get in the chance to shoot he's killed kansas we got the rat captain there are guns still in this middle of the driver of his car too you dirty cop you framed me you framed yourself mccoy and right into the hot seat why did you let him shoot captain why'd you let him kill kansas didn't kill anyone tonight miss will you but i saw him all you saw and all mccoy saw was the reflection of a man and woman in a specially placed mirror mirror when valery and her uh boyfriend seemed to be directly behind that window they were really in another part of the room where a bullet from out here couldn't possibly hit him oh hey logan you're standing in front of mccoy move away on one of his pictures kasey yeah hello annie there's one shot now i'll take another one okay see that
