You know, be careful. It's all right. Just one little kiss. George is driving. Okay. Here's one for you. And here's one who's winning the game tomorrow night. That'll be a cinch. Why, with George and me in there talking basketball, City College won't have a chance. You boys are wonderful. We've got a team. Haven't lost a basketball game this season. Take a kiss with the team. If you guys are too hip for new, don't you think we better be going back? The game's tomorrow night, you know, and the boys will need some rest. Oh, just a little, Father. Kiss these heels. Wow. Are you atomic? Hey, hold on. I'm going to turn in the next corner. George hasn't had a car pulled across the road up there. What's up with John? What does he think he's doing? Hey, what's the matter with you, fella? You want to get hit or something? All right, you guys, get out. Hey, what's the idea? Get out. This ain't a yo-yo I got in me hands. Yes, we'd better act we is. Not you, James. Just a guy. Just what is this? This sister is a snitch. And if either one of you speaks one word of her face, these guys' lives won't be worth a plugged Chinese buck. Dr. Banfield, student of crime psychology, has many times provided the police with a solution to a baffling crime. There's an interesting case ahead for the doctor today. We'll call it Money in a Basket. You know, Dan, I wish I'd studied psychology when I was in school. Well, that isn't too late, Leslie. You know, I'm giving lectures over at Norton College every Thursday afternoon. I don't want to go on Thursdays. It's my day off. Why this sudden interest? Oh, I'd just like to know what you're thinking when you sit there looking at me and drum on your desk with your pencil. It's probably just as well that you didn't study psychology. One or two ladies, please. Okay. What do you want? I want to see Dr. Banfield. Oh, well, you've seen him. Goodbye. Leslie, Leslie. So young lady, yes. Okay, the boss said you can come in. Thank you. What's the other chair? Thanks. My name is Joan Lester. Yes, yes, I recognize you. You're one of the young ladies in my fancy classes. How did that drive? Something in my last lecture that you didn't understand? No. I want to see you about something entirely different. Oh, well, that's all right. Does your secretary have to be here? You just bet your life I do. Rusty. Well, I'm not going out of here and leave you alone with her. I won't eat in. I say. Oh, you see nothing down this way, too? Okay. Well, guess it won't. Now, now, tell me, what is it you want? My boyfriend has been kidnapped. Kidnapped? Yes. Last year when we were out driving. So Craig is at my boyfriend and Joan is near and we're kidnapped. Some thugs to go. Craig and them. Well, I don't know how it's all going to be. Yes. You say this happened last year? Yes. Why did you go to the city? Because I got arrested with a murder. Oh, for a good reason. I was going to ask you why you came to me. Because I believed the police were going to be following us. Oh, that's very interesting. Well, I never really get married. Only the same home and that's bad. Only neither one of us can. I live in a small little house over in Brooklyn. And so she has a room over the campus with George Norman. Well, what's money got to do with a boy's not being kidnapped? Well, don't you see? The poor still have some money bet on tonight's game. Well, all season long Norton has been the favorite. We never have gone into a game where the odds have been less than five to two in our favor. Well, this morning odds dropped before the one that Norton would lose. I see. And you think that your boyfriend had himself kidnapped along with George Norman so they wouldn't be able to play him again. What are you afraid of? Well, if there are not two stars, Norton is bound to lose. If that guy's done that, our marriage is off. I'll never speak to him again as long as I live. Well, I wouldn't be too hasty in accusing him. It might be entirely on the low. Well, then my name is not in such a good position. If you could still call me just like that today, I'm going to get a lot of money. Thank you, you guys. You want to get me married right away. I see. Now, what do you want me to do? I'm the boy. You will make lots of money. I can clear everything. Well, you haven't very much time. I think I'm going to Madison Square Garden at 10 o'clock tonight. In a moment, we will return to my Michael Adams, the second act of Danger Dr. Banfield, but first... What do you want to look at Phil's and George's living for, then? Well, when you're visiting a disappearance, I see it's a pretty good start to the square the party's in. Now, I see. This is the room right here. Well, aren't you going to knock? That would be necessary. We'll walk right in. What a damn room. We're not alone. Hey, what is the idea walking in without having nothing? Oh, is this your room? What are they? What you guys doing in here? Well, I might ask you the same question, and don't say you're one of the college boys. What guy, ain't you? You still haven't told me what you're doing here. For George and Phil, I'm none of their very good friends. Well, we're all up on the same block, I suppose. Sure, I'd ignore them all in life. Now, I'm sure that the acquaintanceship is to the mute truly beneficial. Huh? Never mind, never mind. You wouldn't know anyway. Well, then, I tell you what I was just doing in here. How about you, and the same question? Well, you see, it's a bit of a mystery here. It's not enough to look at the other thing. What's that? Well, when you open that door, it would probably be a pair of brass knuckles and a black hat. Hey, our damn George wasn't really our star athlete. He's been on the Dolphins. What did she say? Dolphins, trophy. Those things up on the man a little over there. Well, those are a cop. Yeah, amateur white man. Yeah, they warned them playing football. All right, Mr. Lee, whatever your name is. But what did you do with the boys? I don't know what you're talking about. You do? What made you think that? Because Phil and George never played a game of football all their lives. And if you were their friend, you'd know it. Now tell me what you did with them. I didn't want to get rough, but the joke, I can do it. You can put away that gun. It doesn't scare me. I told him the name's not the same as his. This is going to make it the top of the boys. They shouldn't have to build them. They should. Oh, so you're the one who did that with them. That's another word, Bob. You only want to see them to take to doom. All right, all right. You and your remaining friends are going to be able to talk to them. Because why? Because why? Because dead people don't talk. Oh. Oh. Let's see our perfect bullseye. I hope I didn't get it. Phil could have a gun as a doctor. Grab the pillowcase, let's prep up this hunt of beef. Pillowcase? Yeah, yeah, prep up a custard. Oh, sure. Hurry, let's see our friends coming through. Dan. Now, let's go to the toilet. Thank you. You try it. I'll get his pants. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that ought to do it. Yeah, you're coming. Pretty good. Better check now. I'm going to get loose. That's fine, let's see. Now, you'll just meet me. Let's go. Yeah. Now, my friend will give you the pillow and cover you up all nice and cozy. That bump on his head sure looks cute. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Look at him living. Look at that, look at that. That's my boy, the thing in the nest. It's the thing in your eye. Now, we've got to move fast. That guy said dead men talk like medics. But as long as he's caught up, he can't let his accomplices know that we're the boys in the kitchen. We have no way of knowing how long it'll take to get him to get caught up. I'm going to say this is where Sally Laley lives right here. Sally. Sally Grayson, the other girl, the one who was with George last night when he was sitting in that. Oh, well you aren't going to walk right in here without knocking. Anyway, this isn't a part of the recipe. Sally, Sally Grayson, Sally Grayson, yeah, that's it, that's it, that's it, that number three, yeah, that's it. Hmm, somebody's talking. Hey, this is a swanky George, Sally, Miss Grayson. One, two, three. You wanted to see me, maybe? Yes, yes. Oh, what's going on here? Well, how are you, Miss Grayson? Well, come in, come in, this isn't a problem. Yes, Dan, come in. I see you were coming. Yes, but I didn't bother you. You're not your own Webster's card? Oh, yes, that's me. You were dressing down in June? I thought you were a little house in. I'm just saying you were trying to look pretty, Sally. You're not my secretary, but that's your fair face, Miss Grayson? No, I don't believe so. Let me know you're dressing. Aye. And this is Stacey LeMane. Stacey seems to be a blue pup. Is that a blue pup? Yes, it's a nice little brus. Hmm, you sure are getting around. Miss LeMane, after Dan's in, you're so fair-faced. Hmm, you must come up to see me some time. Hmm, I'd rather like to. Hmm, maybe she's in here. Stacey was at my mine near the party, and he had a blue pup, Dr. Danfield. I didn't even mean to be there. Like, like, it was a different time when I was imbibing. Why, Miss Grayson, a nice little brus girl you didn't bring. Nice one, Stacey. Have you found out anything about our friend, George, that you didn't know? No, no, not yet. Sure, Miss Dan. Did you know who Dr. Danfield was about last night? You said that's a baby, too, dear? Yes, I did. I got a piece in my mouth before that game the night night. You had that drug test? You believed a word about this to a soul? Oh, my dear Lord. I'm over what I thought. You thought? Oh, you hate to kill a little squirt? And you didn't take the first step of the loading in your flower? You just about said things you killed in your soul. I only wanted to. Then you're closing that out of here. I'll let you out. All right, I'll go. I'll go. You don't let me out. Oh, well. I'll let you out. I'll let you out. You're not very good at this, are you? Who said I was a lady? Did I ever think you could say that soulful craze is a danger to you? How do you know that's so crazy? Why? Well, Phil and I just... Just like that. I don't believe it. Oh, is that so? I'll let you know that this soulful craze has been a see-me-play to me. It takes me home after the show and I let him kid me. Because I like it. You got out of the way. Okay, I don't like it too much anyway. I'll let you out. I'll let you out. I'll let you out. Okay, I don't like it too much anyway. But I think you should know something, Dr. Danfield. And you will, but maybe tonight. Dan, all right. Well, I'd be glad to take the Dr. Danfield. I have a brand new Cadillac parked just outside. Dan, if you do, I'll never speak to you again. Why, Rushby, don't you get the pitch? Why, it all ties in like the laces on a third basement glove. Hmph. In a moment we'll return for the third act of Danger Dr. Dan for you, but first... Now we return you to Michael Dunn for the third act of Danger Dr. Dan for you. So this is the blue cup. Hmm? Really Dan, I love to go slumming. I'll make up for it honey. Tomorrow night I'll take you to the store club with all the friends. That is if Norton wins tonight, I win my bet. Well then we won't go to the store club, you realize it's just three hours into the game time? We haven't even got an idea where the boys are, good now. Well what do you think I brought you here for? Oh now don't tell me you think that George and Phil are here, not a big joke. What gave you that idea? Hmm, a little trail is winding into the land of my dreams. It is no time to start thinking theoretically. Why George, I'm right. Huh? What's the matter? Take a look over there by the door. By the... Dan, it's... Yes Rusty, it's our beaty friend, the one we looked all tied up nice and pretty at George and Phil's room. But what kind of... To get loose? Well my guess is that somebody set him loose. Never could have wriggled out of those knots that I tied him with, I was a boy scout once. Who could have done that? I don't know, but I've got a mighty good idea. Dan, he's looking right at us. Yes, look at the dream. Just daring us to try and get out of that door. Oh hi there friends. Hi there suckers. I dare say my dear Rusty that we've off-riding with facts. Why don't we make one point? I could throw a sugar ball at somebody. I'm afraid it wouldn't do much good Rusty. If you'll notice there are about three other tough looking mugs hanging around that door. They aren't taking any chances. Oh, couldn't you get to the phone and call the cops? Probably. I doubt if we would still be here when the cops arrive. I think they're just aching for us to make a move. Our boyfriend must think he's pretty smart. No, he's just a fool. The main guy in this racket is probably the owner of the place. Oh why don't we call on him and he'll get us. And I doubt if old funny face over there will let us. Oh gee, I've got an idea. Hmm, that's more than I have. Look, why don't I make like I'm going to the counter room. Maybe get some snooze and open a few long doors. Hey. They probably won't get as many pictures as long as we're here at the table. Hey, good girl Rusty. Not bad. Maybe. Not bad. If I find anything, I'll let out a yelp and you come running. All right, but be mighty careful, huh? Did you bring a gun? No, but I still have a pretty good look. Okay. Hold your breath, here I go. Good luck. And you? Huh? Where's your girlfriend going? Ho ho ho ho. Now I know you never want to tell a girl you wouldn't ask questions like that. Well you better not be trying anything funny. Oh, go back to your little old door and sit down. Go on, Spike. I want to talk to the guy. Well, okay. Oh, Pee-Phee. Happy meeting you here. Hiya, tall, dark, and duggery, Tess Glickman. Tess, why? I thought I'd pick you up on your little invitation. Me too. I know how to get you here. There ain't any psychology that works better than a pretty leg and a come on glint in the eye. Ha ha. You'll have to come down and give a lecture to my Tess sometime. Oh brother, I could teach them guys some evidence. Oh no, no, no, no, thanks. I don't think I'd care for your brand of knockout rock. Oh come on, you ain't going anywhere. Yes, I'm beginning to get the idea that I'm not. Tell me, how long do you intend keeping us here? Only until after the game. Then you can go just as free as you came in. You can even take me home, handsome. You get rid of that dress, I'll be yours. Thanks, but I always leave with a gal what's running. You know something, Pee-Phee? Tomorrow I'm going to swear out a warrant for your arrest. For what? Kidnapping. Kidnapping who? Me and Rusty. Oh, don't make me giggle. You came here of your own free will, didn't you? Yes. And if you don't cause any trouble, you can leave the same way. And if I do cause any trouble? One of the boys will put you to sleep. And there'll be ten witnesses in the morning who'll swear that you and your gal friend were drunk and disorderly. Hmm hmm. You've got it all figured out, haven't you? Yeah, we got it all figured out. Hey, that was awesome. Hey, where do you think you're going? You'll never know. Stop your stuff or I'll shoot you. You're too late, my friend. Hey, you guys told you not to get funny. Like hell I'll find a way you go. There, now the coaches for Rusty. Rusty, where are you? Oh, in there, huh? You right where they are. There, look out, Rusty. There, you dirty lunk, you're still dead. Oh, oh. There, there, we got it. Oh, uh. Dan, please, look out. Don't need a gun, got a good lift, right? I had a good life, with a lead pipe in it. I, I tied my head. Dan, step out of it. Oh, Rusty, Rusty, Rusty, put my head in your lap, huh? I can't, Dan, I'm all tied up. Tied up? Well, why didn't they tie me up? I guess they thought they did me too. You looked like you were out for good. Right, right. Here, I'll get you in just a minute. Oh, oh, my head. Oh, where were you? Over here by the desk. Oh, light. Where are we anyway? In the boss's office. Wait a minute, I'll have you loosen up the shake. How long have we been out? About half an hour. Half an hour, half an hour. And we, uh, still got about two hours of game time, right? Not a good bet going to do if we're locked in here tighter than a drum. Yeah, so I see. I'm afraid of the bird. Now, just turn on my light. Where do I see them? Under the door, the crack. I'll have to take a chance for a minute. Well, couldn't you get out the window? There isn't any window, Ricky. Anyway, they'll just bring them a running. Ah, that's what I'm looking for. Now, I'll turn off the lights. What were you looking for? Telephone, telephone. Oh, thank you, Mr. Don, I'm anxious. Yes. Ah, if nobody comes in from it. Oh, I like that. Hello, operator, give me the fire department. Yes, yes, that's right. Hello, this is Dr. Daniel Danfield. I want to report a fire at the Blue Pup Nightclub. The Blue Pup Nightclub. Yes, yes, that's right. And hurry, will you? My secretary and I are locked up in the manager's office. Yes, yes, yes, I know it sounds crazy, but it's a fact. Chief, Chief, will you do me a favor? Look up an address for me, will you? Listen, Chief, it's a matter of life and death. Yes, that's right. It's a little house in Brooklyn. The name is Miss June Webster. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Now here they come, Rusty. Here they come. Thank heavens. Oh, no, folks will only let them in. You don't know the New York Fire Department. They'll probably have a dozen of New York's finest with them. Okay. Hey, you get what I mean? What'd I tell you? I can't feel you in there. I have no empty. Get you out the front of the door now. That'll be a thing. Come on, fellas. Once more. Hey, now then, where's the fire? In my head, Chief. You see the lumps. Hey, what is this, a fault alarm? No, not at all, Chief. You're here just in time to save the honor of good old Norton College. Norton? Hey, my boy was there, ooh, and that reminds me. Let's get back to the flyer house. I want to listen to that game tonight on my radio. I've got ten bucks on the game. Yeah, who you betting on? Why, Norton, of course. So I hope, well, that if you want to save your money, you better take us to that little house in Brooklyn that I spoke to you about. Yeah, why? Because unless I'm very badly mistaken, Chief, Norton's two best players, Bill Craig and George Merriman, are being held prisoners there. Well, what are we waiting for? Come on, let's go. Oh, damn, isn't this fun? Calm yourself, Rusty. I never thought I'd get a chance to find a flyer. Oh, boy, me and the little flower. Come on, boys, into the play. Don't bother the nut. Hey, what is this? Well, bright-eyed, you move around fast, don't you? Hey, hey, it's Stanfield. Get him, boys. Oh, we give up, we give up. We can't fight the whole police force. And don't forget the fire department. And the fire department. All right, Spike, we're out of here. Get the back room. And where is Miss June? Out in the kitchen, she got scared and was going to sleep. I got this smack-a-dance. All right. Come on, fellas, the coast is clear. Thank heaven you guys got here. We're just about giving up. Well, it's never too late, Phil. Hey, what time is it? We've got just an hour. Well, come on, Phil, we can just make it. We've simply got to, for good old Norton. In a moment we'll return for the conclusion of Danger, Dr. Dan Field, but first. Now back to Michael Gunn for the conclusion of Danger, Dr. Dan Field. Oh, boy, Phil just made another gasp. Oh, really, going to town, 89 to 14 in favor of Norton. Check that George made that one. They certainly don't play like anybody who would draw a game. Huh? Oh, I never suspected either one of them for a moment. If George or Phil ever needed money that badly, all they'd have to do would be to turn professional. Besides, Rusty, good clean athletes like those kids just don't go about it, hardly possible psychologically. What made June last to tell you until you see thought the whole thing was a frame-up? I can't hear you. What did you say? I said what made June Webster come to you and tell you she thought the whole thing was a frame-up? Because she wanted to throw suspicion on Phil Craig. She knew there'd be a sink after the whole thing was over. She was just trying to get out from under. And she was in on the deal all the time. Why, sure, she's the one who untied our boy friend for it. Look at that score, 92 to 16. Ay, yikes, yikes. Say, what made you so sure it wasn't a frame-up, Dan? Well, for one thing, Spike being planted in the boys' room. He was there to notify the gang if we discovered it was a real kidnapping. Our tying them up forced their hand. That's why June brought Phoebe over to Sally's room as a decoy to get us out to the nightclub. Come on, did you fall for that? Well, say, I did for a while. I thought the boys might be out there. What they really wanted was to get us out there and hold us until after the game. Hey, lookit. I still don't see how you connected June up with the case, or how you figured that the boys were being held at her house in Brooklyn. Oh, I figured that the boys were being held in her... Oh, I knew she was there from the first. Why? Well, because of her knowledge of the odds on the game. The odds, she called it, at four to one against Norton were only changed that morning. She hadn't had time to be in the papers yet. Therefore, only somebody connected with gambling didn't know about it. How about her house? Huh? How about her house? Oh, that was a bit of luck. Plus the fact that it was the most logical place for them to be. Hey, what a game, huh? Oh, boy. You know, Rusty, come to think of it, that Sally Grayson has an awfully nice new Cadillac. Don't you ever let me catch you riding in it. I won't. I could have a lot more fun in your Ford. You've got to be kidding me.
