Featuring Shemp Howard (Solo)
60 min. (Feature Film)
The NY Express' star investigative reporter Johnny Forbes (Kent Taylor) witnesses a murder at the racetrack. After lying to the police about recognizing the murderer, Forbes starts on the trail of killer Chet Matthews. Matthews used to be a hired gun for dead racketeer Jim Hadley. After a tip from Hadley's girlfriend, Forbes enlists the help of goofy cab driver Milton Davis (Shemp Howard) and begins a road trip on Matthews' trail that starts in Brooklyn NY, and ends in Brooklyn MS. Once there, Forbes meets lovely songstress Beth Connell (Frances Langford) at a high-class riverfront casino and immediately falls in love. He also finds Matthews... and the supposedly dead Hadley masquerading as Francis Carvel, a "reputable" Mississippi shipper, actually running a nationwide gambling racket. While Forbes plots to expose Carvel and write the scoop of a lifetime, Matthews and his henchmen plot to leave Forbes floating in the Mississippi.
Rereleased by RealArt Pictures in the early 1950s as DANGER ON THE RIVER.

This feature starts off at the "Manhattan Park Raceway," where we see a bunch of spectators cheering their horses onto victory. Plus a camera from "The New York Daily Express Newspaper", filming the entire event.
HORSE ANNOUNCER: (In a serious and low monotone voice): "Bourbon Boy is going to the left. Road Time is coming in at the right. Marine Gear is at the outside. And Bourbon Boy is coming up front. And Marine Gear's now at the inside. And it's going to be a driving finish between Marine Gear and Bourbon Boy. Bourbon is taking the lead. And Road Time is coming in at the right. Marine Gear's now at the left. And something has happened to Roseland."
While the announcer was calling the horses we see the 'Star Reporter', for 'The New York Daily Express Newspaper,' John J. Forbes, at his seat jumping up and down in excitement as he is cheering his horses onto victory.
JOHNNY FORBES: (In total glee as he is waving his hands to help his horses onto victory and is holding a tout sheet): "Come on Long John, come on baby, Long John come on, come on Long John, come on baby. Come on Bourbon Boy, come on, come on Bourbon Boy!"
As Johnny was cheering his horses onto victory he does a double-take glance as we see a gentleman with a camera by the name of Chester Mathews, the mobster. Mr. Mathews is now focusing his camera on the horse Roseland and her jockey, as Chet has now gunned them down. We now see the mobster, Chet Mathews exiting the crime scene as he is being chased by Johnny Forbes.
HORSE ANNOUNCER: (After Chet has now gunned down Roseland and her jockey in a really excited voice): "Something has happened to Roseland. Roseland goes into the ditch. And it's Bourbon Boy, the winner!"
Johnny Forbes has now caught up with Chet Mathes as he is grabbing Mr. Mathews and his camera as Johnny is now throwing both Chet and his camera to the ground after Chet has hit Johnny with the camera.
We are now inside the office of 'The New York Daily Express Newspaper'. Johnny is sitting on the edge of his bosses desk with a look of devilment on his face as he has one leg bent forward and is playing with his hands, {acting dumb about not noticing the crime person}, Johnny is looking at the floor with a hurt and dismay look on his face. While his boss, {Mr. Eric Brandon}, is sitting there in his chair and is looking at Johnny with a really mad look on his face and Police Sergeant Dexter is walking in a state of madness as he is shouting at Johnny in a state of sheer madness as he is now stopping the film of the horse race and is bringing up the office lights.
SERGEANT DEXTER to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Sergeant Dexter is using hand gestures for madness and is shouting at Johnny madly): "Now there you are, the great Johnny Forbes, the poor man's Frankenstein, look at the hole through the mud. Pictures don't lie, but this one sure made a sucker out of you. John J. Forbes, the reporter with the photographic memory, what did you do, run out of film?"
ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Mr. Brandon is asking Johnny in a worried and questionable voice): "Are you sure you never saw him before, Johnny?"
JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny is giving Mr. Brandon a look of devilment and sheepishness as he is still sitting on the desk with one leg bent forward says in a sarcastic voice): "Y-E-P!"
Both Johnny and Sergeant Dexter are sitting on the desk while Sergeant Dexter and Eric Brandon are now giving Johnny "THE THIRD DEGREE!"

SERGEANT DEXTER to ERIC BRANDON: (As Sergeant Dexter is looking at Mr. Brandon with a mad look and is saying in a sarcastic voice): "Brandon, you outta be proud of your 'Star Reporter,' a guy is an eye witness to a million dollar murder, and he can't even identify the killer!"
JOHNNY FORBES to SERGEANT DEXTER: (As Johnny is still sitting on the desk with one leg bent forward and is playing with his hands as he is looking at him with an evil look and is using a sarcastic voice): "Why should I know anyone so revolting?"
SERGEANT DEXTER to JOHNNY FORBES: (As he is still looking at Johnny in thorough madness and is shouting at Johnny in disgust): "Are you sure it isn't one of these guys?"

ERIC BRANDON to SERGEANT DEXTER and JOHNNY FORBES: (As Mr. Brandon is sittin there in dismay as he is saying in a low and worried voice): "Every bookie in the country took a lickin' on that one!"
JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON and SERGEANT DEXTER: (As Johnny is getting up from the desk and is slowly walking in a state of mischief as he now has a mischievous grin on his face says in a sarcastic voice): "Yeah, there was a ton of dough dumped onto that, too late to lay it on the tracks, and "Dexteroust" thinks the murder might tie in?"
ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Mr. Brandon is sitting there with his arms folded and says to Johnny in a mischievous voice): "Cut the comedy, Johnny!"
Johnny is once again sitting on the desk with one leg bent forward and has a look of devilment on his face and is laughing slightly. While Sergeant Dexter is standing there with a look of devilment on his face as Mr. Brandon is sitting in his chair with a look of dismay on his face.

Eric Brandon is now looking at Sergeant Dexter with a worried look on his face as Sergeant Dexter has now taken the photoshot from Johnny's hand who is sitting on the desk with a dumbfounded look on his face.
SERGEANT DEXTER to JOHNNY FORBES: (As he is now looking at the photoshot of Chet Mathews and says in a serious voice): "Chet Mathews, I haven't seen him since Hadley's funeral, why?"
JOHNNY FORBES to SERGEANT DEXTER: (As Johnny is now answering him nonchalantly): "Just wondering!"
SERGEANT DEXTER to JOHNNY FORBES: (As he is now looking at Johnny with a really devilment look and is using a wicked voice): "Have you seen Mathews, lately?"
JOHNNY FORBES to SERGEANT DEXTER: (As Johnny is now cocking his head and is sitting there with his arms crossed and is using a mischievous voice and is looking at him with an evil eye): "N-O!"

JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny is standing in front of him using hand gestures to support himself as Johnny has a look of wonderment on his face is explaining to him): "They'll get their evidence Skipper, in spades. I say, use Mathews as bait, to get this big guy, the guy who set this thing up, the guy who stepped into Hadley's shoes!"
ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As he is sitting there listening to Johnny intensively and is looking at Johnny with a worried look and is saying to Johnny in a mad voice): "But, you don't even know where Mathews is!"

HEADLINE: "LOSES HER BROTHER AND SWEETHEART IN UNDERWORLD FEUD:"
ARTICLE SNIP: "Gladys LaVerne, Broadway and Nightclub star, shown here with her brother and her sweetheart, Jim Hadley in burglary charges."
ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Mr. Brandong is still reading the newspaper snipping says to Johnny in a serious voice): "Aaaaah, yeah, I remember the case, weren't LaVerne and Hadley partners in the gambling syndicate?"
JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny is standing there looking at him with a look of bewilderment on his face and is using a mad voice): "That's right! Hadley accused LaVerne of double-crossing him and had him knocked off. The mob got sore and knocked off Hadley, nice people!"
ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Johnny is leaning on the desk and is looking at him with a carrying look and is using a serious voice as Mr. Brandong is now setting the newspaper snipping down on his desk and says to Johnny): "Yeah, but that's ancient history, what's it got to do with Mathews?"

ERIC BRANDON to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Mr. Brandon is looking at his desk with a mad look and says to Johnny in a low voice): "All right, hop to it!"
JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny is now exiting the office in a really happy mood says to him): "So long, Skipper. I'll stop by the cashier and pick-up thirty bucks!"

JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny is now exiting the office with a mad look on his face as he is mumbling to himself madly): "Why don't I mind my own business!
We now see Johnny skipping merrily down the stairwell of the office on his merry man hunt for the mobster Chet Mathews. He has now noticed an autocab with the number "WA 1243" on the drivers side door. Johnny is now looking right and left for the driver. He has now looked inside of the autocab for the driver and has now seen him. Being anxious to get on his way is now blaring the horn non-stop to get the drivers attention.
We now see the driver of the autocab, Milton Davis, talking on the telephone with his wife discussing plans for their wedding anniversary supper, {that never happened}. {If I may toss in a personal thought. If Milton knew what was in store for him, I know he would of never taken this first call}.
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As he is talking to her via the telephone as he is taking quick glances at his autocab and is using a serious voice says to her): "I gotta go now Emily, somebody's honking for me!"
WIFE EMILY to HUSBAND MILTON: (As she is now shouting back at him in a mad voice thinking that he doesn't want to talk to her): "Don't try to change the subject!"
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As Milton is standing there with a mad look on his face as he is saying back to he in a carrying voice): "No, I'm not trying to change the subject!"
WIFE EMILY to HUSBAND MILTON: (As she is still talking to him in a slight mad voice is now asking him): "Are you going to be home by seven o'clock?"
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As he is now getting antsy to get off of the telephone and attend to his autocab customer says to her in a mad voice): "Yeah, I'll be home at seven!"
WIFE EMILY TO HUSBAND MILTON: (As she still has him on the 'horn' and is saying to him in a serious voice as Milton is now pounding his hand on the lege on the telephone stand antsy to get going as she is saying to him): "I ain't forgettin'!"
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As Milton has now drawn an "X" across his chest and is saying to her in a very carrying voice): "I promise, I cross my heart!"
WIFE EMILY to HUSBAND MILTON: (As Emily is now yelling at him in madness says to him): "Don't forget to bring the spaghetti!"
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As he is now looking at his autocab with a worried look as he is beyond antsy to get going says to her madly): "Certainly, I remember what day it is, it's our anniversary, how could I ever forget it!?"
WIFE EMILY to HUSBAND MILTON: (As she is still on the 'horn' and is now 'hen-pecking' him to death says): "Be quiet, let me do the talking, well why don't you answer me?"
We now see Milton lowering the telephone receiver and is looking at it madly as he is now looking over at his autocab and the customer. All the while that Milton was on the 'horn' with his wife, Johnny in an anxious state kept on blaring the horn loudly and non-stop.
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny has now noticed Milton and has a mad look on his face as he is waving his hand in a come on style shouts to Milton): "Hey taxi!"
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As Milton is still tied up on the 'horn' with Emily and is saying in a state of madness as he is shouting at her in disgust): "I got a customer!"
WIFE EMILY to HUSBAND MILTON: (As Emily is still on the 'horn' and thoroughly 'hen-pecking' him in a disgusted voice as Milton is making quick glances at his autocab customer as she is shouting): "Never mind him, now listen to me. I'm sick and tired of listening to you day in and day out and all's I get......"
Milton Davis has waved a hand at the customer acknowledging him that he knows that he is there and will be with him as soon as possible.
HUSBAND MILTON to WIFE EMILY: (As he is now thoroughly disgusted with her says): "Yeah, yeah, look, bye bye, precious, kiss, kiss!"
Milton has now finally hung-up the telephone receiver on her and has a look of disgust on his face as he is now rubbing his ears.
MILTON DAVIS: (As he now has a look of worry on his face states): "Hunh, hunh, she's got a memory like an elephant!"
Milton is now walking briskly to his autocab and the very irate John J. Forbes.
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milto is now looking at Johnny with a mischievous look says to Johnny in a questionable voice): "Do you want a taxi, mister?"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is now answering Milton back in a sarcastic voice): "No, I just wanted to see if your horn could play "Yankee Doodle!"

JOHNNY FORBES to MILTO DAVIS: (As Johnny is standing there with one hand in his trousers pocket and is answering Milton seriously): "2119 Davenport Avenue, that's in Brooklyn!"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Johnny is now getting into the autocab and Milton is pointing a finger at himself and he is saying to Johnny in a serious voice): "Are you telling me? I was born in Brooklyn!"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny has now finished getting into the autocab says to Milton in a happy voice): "Small world, isn't it?"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is now getting into his autocab and has a look of devilment on his face answers back to Johnny mischievously): "Yeah, if you ride the subways!"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Milton is now coming to a screeching hault in front of the flat complex where Johnny asked to go and is starting to get out of his autocab as Johnny says to him seriously): "Wait here, I'll be right out!"
We now see Johnny walking up the stairwell to the flat complex and is briskly walking to the flat that he wants and is now ringing the door buzzer. We now see Gladys LaVerne opening the door with a look of wonderment on her face as she is holding on a tether by her side a very beautiful, wonderful, and majestic looking Great Dane.
GLADYS LaVERNE to DUKE the POOCHIE: (As Duke the Dane is now barking at Johnny in a state of guarding her as she is looking at Johnny with a look of I don't know who you are as she is saying to the magnificent poochie): "Quiet, Duke!"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is looking at Johnny in wonder and is asking him in a quiet and questionable voice): "What do you want, mister?"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As he is looking at Gladys with a serious look and is using a serious and questionable voice replies back to Gladys): "Why, you don't remember me, do you Gladys? And after the swell yarn I did on you too. I'm Johnny Forbes, covered Hadley's funeral for 'The Express', remember?"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is now looking at Johnny with a sweet look and is answering back in a sweet and low voice): "Oh, now I recognize ya, all right, come in!"
We now see Gladys backing up into her flat with Duke as Johnny is now removing his hat and is walking in and shutting the door behind him.
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is looking at Gladys with a devilsh look and is asking her in a questionable voice): "Was that Jim Hadley's dog?"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (With a look of madness on her face and in a mad voice says): "Yeah, surprised I keep him under the circumstances?"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is now smiling happily at her as she has happy smile on her face as she now lets Duke free and he says to her in a happy voice): "Can't blame the dog for what he did!"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys now has a mad look on her face and has now walked behind Johnny as she is now crossing her arms as she says to Johnny in a sarcastic voice): "That's the way I figure it. Well, you didn't come to pass the time of day, what's on your mind?"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As he is looking at her with a serious look and is using a serious voice): "Chet Mathews!"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is now putting a hand on her waist and is saying to Johnny in a mean and sarcastic voice): "That rat!"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As he is looking at her with a mean a devilsh look on his face says to her in a mean voice): Yeah, I always figured he could of tipped your brother off, if he wanted too!"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is standing there with a worried look on her face as Johnny is looking at her in a state of worry as she says to him in a low voice): "Well, he was only Hadley's 'Stooge', what do you want with him?"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is looking at her seriously and is asking her in a serious voice in reference to Chet Mathews): "Would it break your heart if he got the Chair?"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As she is now sitting on the back of a chair and says to him in a sarcastic voice): "Haaaa, it would break my heart if I didn't get a ring side seat!"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is now standing in front of her looking her with a devilsh look as he is smiling evily as he states to her mischievously): "Maybe can arrange it, if I can find him?"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As she is looking at him with a perplexed look on her face and in a questionable voice asks Johnny): "Where did you hear of him last?"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is answering seriously and with a mean look on his face): "Manhattan Park, yesterday?"
We got a quick glimpse of Johnny as he gave Gladys a sweet smile and is still holding his hat.
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is talking to Johnny in a low and serious voice with a dismayed look on her face): "The mob use to have a regular routine, it they're still in business, Albany's the next stop!"
JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (As Johnny is now looking at he with a pleasant look on his face and is using a happy voice): "Albany, thanks kid, could you use a 'Double-Saw'?"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys is smiling sweetly at Johnny and says to him in a very thankful voice as Johnny is now giving her the dough): "I guess the landlady could."

JOHNNY FORBES to GLADYS LaVERNE: (In a serious manner as he is smiling sweetly): "Keep you in mind!"
GLADYS LaVERNE to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Gladys has a ook of happiness on her face and a happy voice): "Thanks!"

Milton has now looked quickly in the back seating area to see if Johnny is all right. Milton has now taken his hands off his driving wheel and is rubbing them in glee at the thought of the dough that he is now making. Milton now has a worried look on his face as he grabs the wheel quickly to correct his driving as he has now veered into the on coming traffice lane to get back int his lane. We are now reaching our second spot, Albany as we see a sign that reads:

MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is looking at Johnny madly and Milton is pounding his fists together and is saying to Johnny in a worried voice): "Unh, hunh, Emily cheques my metre and I gotta lay the dough right on the line!"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is looking at Milton sheepishly and is using a mischievous voice): "Of course, if you want to trust me to mail you a cheque?"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is opening the autocab rear door and is polietly helping Johnny in says to Johnny in a low and worried voice): "Oh, no, it's perfectly all right, hop right in, it's all right!"

Milton is now knocking on the division glass that separates himself from Johnny who has his feet propped up and his hat over his eyes and is holding a newspaper and was taking himself a 'cat-nap'.
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton has now roused Johnny from his 'cat-nap' says to Johnny in a voice of wonderment and with a look of bewilderment on his face states): "Hey, there's a big creek up ahead!"

MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton now has a look of grimace on his face and is saying to Johnny in a mad voice): "Hundred miles more!"
It is now night time and we have now finished our long and exhausting one hundred mile, last leg jaunt on our wild Chet Mathews hunt. We are now finally in Brooklyn, Mississippi. Johnny and Milton are bothe exiting from the autocab. Johnny is now stretching, as we see Milton stomping his feet to get some circulation back into his legs. Johnny and Milton are now walking into a lobby of a hotel as they are now rubbing their backs, stretching and yawning from their long and exhausting journey.
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny has a worried look on his face as he is using a kind tone of voice says to Milton): "You know Milt, I can't understand how we missed him. We've just been a day behind him all the way from the yard. He must be around here somewhere!"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is now looking at Johnny with a really worried look on his face and is using a serious voice): "Yeah, but where?"

MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is tapping Johnny on the shoulder and is saying in a worried voice): "And I hate to bother you, but will you call your boss for that dough!"
We now see Johnny turning around and nodding his head in mischief as he is winking at Milton in a state of agreement as he is now signing in both himself and Milton.
EVERETT to MR. FRANCIS CARVEL: (As Mr. Carvel is now approaching the cheque in counter): "Good evening, Mr. Carvel, be with you in just a moment."
JOHNNY FORBES to EVERETT: (As Johnny is now finishing signing the guest sheet as he is looking at Everett with an evil look and is using a wicked voice): "You wouldn't happen to have a Chet Mathews registered here?"
EVERETT to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Everett is now answering Johnny in a really professional state): "Chet Mathews, I'm afraid not."
JOHNNY FORBES to EVERETT: (As Johnny is now in a full blown serious state politely asks Everett): "Want you to put in a long distance telephone call for a Mr. Eric Brandon, 'New York Daily Express,' Johnny Forbes, calling!"
As Johnny and Everett were engaged in their conversation Mr. Carvel {Hadley} was standing there waiting patiently as Milton was standing behind Jonny with his hands in his trousers pockets as he was watching Johnny with a dumbfounded look on his face.
EVERETT to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Everett is still using a professional manner says to Johnny in a very serious voice): "Would you mind waiting just a moment, Mr. Forbes?"
JOHNNY FORBES to EVERETT: (In a full blown state of mischief and is waving a finger at Everett states): "Not at all!"
FRANCIS CARVEL to EVERETT: (As Mr. Carvel is asking Everett in a very polite manner): "Any mail for me Everett?"
EVERETT to FRANCIS CARVEL: (As Everett is responding back in a carrying voice): "I'll see, sir!"
We now see Mr. Carvel as Johnny is now giving him an evil double-take look as he thinks that Mr. Carvel is not Mr. Carvel. But the 'Mafia Don' Jim Hadley, {who was suppose to be left for dead, but isn't because Johnny's prediction is correct}.

EVERETT to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Everett has a look of dismay on his face and is using a serious voice): "He's retired, does a little gambling now and then, just for the sport of it."
JOHNNY FORBES to EVERETT: (As Johnny is using a low and questionable voice): "Gambling, where does a guy go when he feels a little lucky around here?"
EVERETT to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Everett is now 'letting the cat out of the bag,' as he is saying to Johnny seriously): "Well, there's the 'Colonial House', at the foot of Magnolia Avenue!"
JOHNNY FORBES to EVERETT: (As Johnny has now patted Everett on his arm in kindness and using a thankful voice as he is giving Everett a wink): "Colonial House, ehy? Much obliged!"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is standing there with his hands on his waist, a serious look on his face and a questionable voice): "Say Milton, did you ever see a face that bothered you?"

JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny i saying to Milton in a mean voice and a mean look on his face): "Well, go to bed then."
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is grabbing Johnny's arm in madness and is begging Johnny in a mean voice): "What about that telephone call, and the dough?"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is waving a hand at Milton with a mad look on his face and a mad voice as Johnny is once again procrastinating about getting Milton the dough): "I'll take care of it in the morning!"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Johnny is now exiting and Milton is waving a finger at him in madness and is shouting at Johnny madly): "If my wife divorces me, I'll name you as correspondent!"
MILTON DAVIS to EVERETT: (As Milton is approaching the cheque station with his clothing says to Everett in mischief): "Here, wash these chum, spray the cuffs and knock off the buttons. Say is rice in season?"
We are now trying to catch Jim Hadley in his act as we now see a sign that reads as follows:
COLONIAL
HOUSE
We are now inside of the 'Colonial House', a swanky, fancy gambling joint, the gentlemen are dawned in tuxedos and the ladies are wearing full lenght evening gowns.
SPENCE to CHET MATHEWS: (As Spence, {one of Jim Hadley's thugs}, is walking up to Chet and is saying to him in a low voice not to be over heard): "You're wanted in the 'Private Room'!"
We are now inside of the 'Private Room', where we see Chet Mathews entering in, in a really happy state.
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is saying to him in a really happy mood): "Hi boss, got a good report for ya, everything on the outside is just...... ."
We now see Chet Mathews sitting down at a table with a really worried look on his face as his boss is giving him a really mean and ugly look as Francis-Jim is playing with a cartridge from a .38-snub nosed gat.
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet has a look of hurt on his face and is using a hurtful voice): "What't the matter?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis-Jim is outrageously mad is saying to Chet in a nasty voice): "Why didn't you give your name and address to the Police?"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is sitting there in a dazed state and using a worried voice): "Now wait a minute, the Cops don't know a thing!"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As he is sitting there in a state of thorough madness states): "I build a business, a big business, I can't operate in New York myself, so I send you and what happens you get yourself followed by a newspaper man!"

FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (In a thoroughly mad state): "Yes, a Mr. Johnny Forbes of 'The New York Daily Express'!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is now in a full blown state of worry and panic): "Forbes, he didn't recognize you, did he?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Jim is giving Chet the most evilist look imaginable and using an evil voice): "Now, what do you think?"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is now thoroughly panicking out): "No, of course he couldn't!"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis-Jim is now pacing around his office like a lion as he is now totally outraged with Chet says): "It seems he's looking for you, Chet!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is looking at him with a really petrified look and is using a questionable voice): "Why should he be looking for me?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As he is leaning forward on the table with an evil look and an evil voice): "Maybe he's curious about a certain race track incident!?"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is now panicking to the enth degree): "But, all the papers said he couldn't identify me!"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As he has his hands on the table with a mean look and an evil voice): "I don't suppose that struck you as rather strange, you run squarely into a reporter famous for his ability to remember faces!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet has a dazed look on his face and is using a dazed voice): "Yeah, and I had to slug him with a camera in order to get away!"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As he is sitting there looking at Chet madly and is using an evil voice): "And, very conviently he doesn't remember you, although he's seen you dozens of times in the past!"
Jim is now pacing around his office like a lion once again fully outraged with Chester Mathews.
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet has an evil look on his face and is using an evil voice): "I don't get it, why should he dummy up if he did recognize me?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Jim is now flipping the .38 snub cartridge and is saying to Chet seriously): "If I were you Chet, I'd do a lot of thinking about that one!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is sitting there in a state of hurt is now saying to Jim): "I am thinking, where is he now?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis is pacing around his office in madness, flipping his 'friend', the .38 snub cartridge and answering Chet in a serious voice): "Just chequed into the hotel!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet has now picked up his hat and is exiting to the hotel in full blown madness): "Okay!"
We now see Chet Mathews exiting the 'Private Room' of the Colonial House on the way to the hotel in his search for Johnny Forbes. Plus we see Francis-Jim starring into outter space with a really demented look on his face.
Chet Mathews is now outside as he is now stopping 'dead in his tracks' and is standing there on the main veranda with a really scared and worried look on his face as he now has noticed Johnny Forbes standing in the driveway of the Colonial House. Chet has now 'put his tail betwixt his pants', as he is doing a double-take back into the 'Private Room' of the Colonial House and is now approaching Francis-Jim in a state of panic.
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is standing there freaking out as Francis-Jim is sitting at his desk scared witless): "Forbes is just going inside, I gotta find a hide-away. How about the Platation, your place?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Chet is now 'quaking in his boots' and Francis-Jim is still sitting there playing with his 'friend the .38-snub cartridge', says to Chet in a low voice): "You're to stay away from there, I told you that before!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is leaning on the desk with a really scared look on his face and is using a panicking voice): "But, what am I gonna do, boss?"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis-Jim is sitting there with a devil may care look on his face as Chet is now leaning against the desk totally petrified out as he says to Chet): "I'm afraid that's you little problem, Chet!"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY}: (As Chet is still standing there in a horrible state of panic as Francis-Jim is still at his desk nonchalantly not really giving a 'ding-dang' what is in store for Chet as Chet is now saying in a state of panic): "We, gotta take care of that guy!"
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Che is in a horrible state of panic as Francis-Jim is playing with his hands and says to Chet in a wicked voice): "W-E!?"
CHET MATHEWS to FRANCIS CARVEL (JIM HADLEY): (As Chet is now looking at him freaked to the 'enth degree' is saying to him in a panicking voice): "Yes we, I'm not taking any rap alone!"
We now see Chet leaning on the desk as Chet now has an evil and scared look on his face as Francis-Jim is still at his desk not carrying 'two hoots and a hollar' about the state of Chet Mathews as he is still playing with his 'friend Mr. .38 snub-nosed cartridge', and laughing evily.
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis-Jim is being slightly nice and says to Chet in a low and slightly carrying voice): "I think I understand, all right, maybe I have better give you the benefit of my advice!"
We now see Francis-Jim placing his 'friend the .38 snub cartridge', down on his desk as he is now giving it to Chet Mathews.
FRANCIS CARVEL {JIM HADLEY} to CHET MATHEWS: (As Francis-Jim has now given Chet his 'friend' and is getting up to exit is now saying to Chet meanly): "Let me know, I'm staying at the hotel tonight!"
We now see Chet Mathews picking up the .38 snub cartridge as he is now reading the initial carved on it "J. F.". Chet is now putting the cartridge into his pocket and is now opening the door that leads into the main area as we now see another one of the thugs entering in.
CHET MATHEWS to BERT: (As Chet has now opened the door and is calling in Bert quietly): "Bert, tell Kirby I wanna see him!"
BERT to CHET MATHEWS: (As Bert is now entering the 'Private Room' in a serious state and is using a low monotone voice): "Okay!"
We now see Bert exiting to find Kirby as Chet has now shut the door. We are now back in the main gambling area where people are gambling and Johnn is stalking around evily for either Chet Mathews or Jim Hadley, {or both}. Johnny is standing in front of a 'Twenty-One Table', and is trying his luck at it as we now see in the background the lovely 'Beth Cornell', getting ready to sing:
BETH CORNELL'S FIRST SONG: {START}:
"There goes my romance, and all my dreams of you. Who whispered sweet nothings that nevre will come true. There goes my romance, you're taking it away, and leaving me nothing but sighs and sighs of grey. I found that love would be a cause for applause and cheer. But now I know it's only another occasion for tears. So, farewell to my romance, that's not the saddest part. Along with my romance there goes my foolish heart. I though that love would be a cause for applause and cheer. But now I know it's only another occasion for tears. So, farewell to my romance, that's not the saddest part. Along with my romance there goes my foolish heart."
BETH CORNELL'S FIRST SONG: {END}:
All the while that she was singing we saw Johnny standing in the side lines giving her 'goo-goo eyes'. And the audience is now applauding loudly in agreement. We now hear the orchestra playing as we now see Johnny leaving the main area and is following Beth outside on the main veranda.
JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As he is now approaching her in a polite and carrying state says): "I beg your pardon. I don't think we better talk here. Oooooh, don't be offended please. You see I've been looking for you for such a long time."

JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As Johnny is still flirting with her and looking at her sweetly and using a loving tone of voice): "As a matter of fact, I hadn't see you just until a moment ago. When I did well, there you were just the way I knew you'd be!"
BETH CORNELL to JOHNNY FORBES: (As she is walking slightly away in sort of an embarrassed manner and is saying sweetly): "What are you babbling about?"
JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As he is looking at Beth with a sweet look on his face and is using an apologetic voice says): "I'm terribly sorry. I'm John J. Forbes, but you'd wanna call me Johnny, of course!"
BETH CORNELL to JOHNNY FORBES: (As she is looking at Johnny in a state of dismay and is using a slight sarcastic voice): "Is this suppose to be a joke?"
JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As Johnny is looking at her in a flirtatious manner and smiling sweetly as she is looking at the ground in embarrassment as Johnny is saying): "No, it isn't suppose to be. You're not married are you? Aaaaah no, of course not, you couldn't be!"

JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As Johnny is looking at her sweetly and is using a loving voice): "Well then you'd have to get a divorce, and I'd feel awfully sorry for the fella that lost you. And besides I don't believe in long engagements, do you?"
BETH CORNELL to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Beth is looking at Johnny carryingly and says to him slightly laughing): "You are crazy, aren't you?"
Beth is now leaving as Johnny is walking briskly to catch-up with her as he is now stepping in front of her as Johnny is still flirting with her.
JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As Johnny is looking at Beth in true love and says to her question): "Absolutely, I've been that way for many five minutes now. Shock I suppose. I certainly didn't expect to find you here. For the moment, I wasn't really looking for you!"
BETH CORNELL to JOHNNY FORBES: (As she is looking at Johnny in a state of love and is using a sweet voice): "No!"
JOHNNY FORBES to BETH CORNELL: (As Johnny is saying to Beth in a carrying manner and says in a serious voice): "No, I, I, was looking for a Chet Mathews."

We now see Beth exiting away as Johnny is watching her and the Colonel is now approaching Johnny.

"If I go climb a tree, please don't stare suspiciously, believe me I've not done a thing, it's just my heart that tells my brain and suddenly I hear love songs out of the blue above. Got dreams, got schemes, got love. I've got the symptoms it's plain as day. I can't think straight or concentrate. My thoughts all go astray. I've got the symptoms, my knees feel weak and I'm quiet sure, my temperature has hit an all time peak. Got it again, it's throbbing and giving my heart a shove. Got thrills, got chills, got love baby, gettin' that yen for robins and things that remind me of, got boy, got joy, got love. If I go climb a tree, please don't stare suspiciously, believe me I'm not insane. It's just my heart that's gone to my brain. Suddenly I hear love songs from out of the blue above. Got dreams, goth schemes, got thrills, got chills. Got the thrills that gave me chills got the dreams that gave me schemes. Got the boy, that gave me joy. Oh boy, I got love."

Johnny and Milton are now getting out of Milton's autocab and are quietly sneaking up to the Plantation to do some snooping on MR. Carvel-Hadley.
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny has now noticed he was at the correct location and is saying to Milton in a low voice as Milton is standing there with a look of curiosity on his face says): "This is it, all right."
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is looking at Johnny with a scared look on his face and is saying to him in a scared voice): "I'll wait out here for ya!"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is now looking at him with a look of mischief and is using a mischievous voice): "I should say not, do you think I'm selfish. I want you to have some fun too, come on!"

JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As he is looking at Milton with a pleading look on his face as he is saying to Milton in a pleading voice): "All you've gotta do is be look out."
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is pointing a finger at himself and is saying to Johnny in a state of scaredness): "You look out for you and I'll look out for me.!
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is now in a full state of worry says): "S-S-S-S-H-H-H-H, come on, I need ya!"
We now see both Johnny and Milton sneaking into the Plantation quiet as mice to find more evidence to prove that Mr. Carvel is really the murderer Jim Hadley. They have now entered the main gate of the Plantation where we see Johnny walking briskly towards the Plantation as Milton is now opening the gate and is joining Johnny on their snooping adventure. Milton and Johnny are now approaching a windo in which they are going to use to sneak into the Plantation.
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is now looking at the windoe and is saying to Johnny in a low voice): "Too high, ain't it Johnny?"
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is looking at him with a look of dismay on his face and is answering Milton back in a low and serious voice): "Nah!"
We now see Johnny climbing up a window ledge and is opening a window to Mr. Carvel's-Hadley's office and is quietly sneaking in as Milton has helped him and is on the look out for Mr. Carvel-Hadley or any of his thugs.
JOHNNY FORBES to MILTON DAVIS: (As Johnny is now on the window ledge with the window opened turns around and says to Milton in a carrying voice): "Ssssshhhh, if I mess this up, run for it understand?"
MILTON DAVIS to JOHNNY FORBES: (As Milton is waving a hand at Johnny in agreement and is answering Johnny back in a low voice): "I'm miles ahead of ya!"
Johnny has now entered into the dark, dreary, and eerie office of Mr. Carvel-Hadley. Johnny is now quietly creeping around the office as he is shinning his torch light and has now found a table light and is now flipping it on. Milton is still standing outside of the window rubbing his hands together in fear as he still is being 'Johnny's watch dog'.
Johnny is now prowling through Francis Carvel's-Jim Hadley's desk drawers for evidence as Milton is still standing outside of the window in a scared state as he is thorougly looking out for any causes of trouble.
Johnny has now looked through all of the desk drawers and under the ink blotter for evidence as he has now picked up from the desk Mr. Carvel's-Hadley's watch and has turned off the table light and is still prowling around the office using his torch light looking for evidence. All the whil that Johnny was snooping around the office Milton was on the look-ou outside in front of the wind petrified beyond no end.
Johnny has now tripped over a chair crashing it to the floor and is looking around to see if anyone is coming while Milton is looking in the window in a scared state wondering if Johnny needs help. Johnny has now found an opened book where he has now found a picture of Gladys LaVerne with this scripture written on it.
TO JIM
BECAUSE HE'S MY MAN
WITH ALL MY LOVE
GLADYS
We are still inside of Mr. Carvel's-Hadley's dark, dreary, and spooky office where Mr. Carvel-Hadley has now entered in and has now noticed Johnny looking at the photoshot of Gladys LaVerne.

JOHNNY FORBES to ERIC BRANDON: (As Johnny has a worried look on his face and is using a worried voice): "It's Hadley's girl I want you to get, Gladys LaVerne. She lives at 2119 Davenport Avenue, Brooklyn. Sure I got Hadley staked out down here. But I got to have somebody identify him. He's had his face remodeled, plastic surgery and she can identify him if anybody can. She was his sweetheart, remember?"

"I lived at a slow pace. But a slow pace got me no place. So I'm gathering spee, so that is what I need. I've changed to a fast clip. And I'm all set for a fast trip. Cuz I'm out to make time. I'm trying to find, I'm hitting the hot spots. I'm ready to do the town. No worries to weigh me down. I'm gettin' that swing. I'm hitting the hot spots. Don't want any good advice. I'm willing to pay the price. I'm having my fling. I'm true like be ever like a mourner. I've learned a few things. I'm true sittin' in a corner. I'm sittin' in a hot spot. I'm crossing the danger line. So hang out the danger sign. Look out below. Cuz I'm trying, from high flying and I'm dieing to go."
