No,
all
be
lost
step
and
loyal. We will be.
This is the craziest thing that ever happened to me.
How did I ever graduate?
I slipped the guy 20 bucks.
I'll keep quiet.
Only
Friday
and
not.
So we drive
you away from
and
experts
in
and singing as they say
that
I
will,
we will fight crime
man.
I have taught you all. I know
you've studied hard and learned well
and most of you,
you have earned the Dogan detective training diploma
and the DDT diploma on an office wall means a steady stream of clients.
Bud Alexander.
In accordance with my agreement with the students who graduate,
you will receive a trial with a recognized detective agency
report to the mcquillan agency in the Fort building.
Give him this card.
Thank you,
Louis Francis.
Thank you. Thank you.
You've been seeing too many Sherlock Holmes pictures lately. Take off that cap.
A detective has to dress so we won't attract much attention.
Come on, put that down. That is not a lollipop.
Look, turn on the police calls. Hurry up, might tip us off for something.
I'm glad mccullen gave us a night shift.
Maybe we can grab a case and solve it ourselves. Hey,
just imagine Lou we get a tip on a bank robbery. Better yet a murder
and we follow the murder to his hideout. Yeah.
And then we go to his hideout
and then we start searching the place. Yes.
But remember death works in every corner and suddenly the murderer comes in.
Fella's interested in a case. A case. A case. What?
00, yes. Yes. You want us to handle a case? Which one of you is mcquillan? I am.
Who's who? He's Mac. I'm,
you can just call us Bud and loo.
You know the cars and stations be on the lookout for Tommy Nelson escaped murderer.
He is 5 ft 11 inches, weighs 165 blue eyes, brown hair
when last seen
was wearing dark felt hat,
overcoat.
Nelson.
Isn't that the middleweight who killed his manager after his last fight?
That's what they said
that
you know,
if we weren't taking your case, I'd grab that murderer.
Excuse me. I don't think you have to look very far. Ok. Quiet.
I'm gonna mark down his description.
5 ft 10 inches weight. 165 blue eyes, sandy hair,
put down, turned up collar and soft hat. Quiet. The man wants a telephone.
The
what
if that ain't Tommy Nelson? It's Frankenstein.
Frankenstein.
Hello, Alan.
Is anyone around?
Good?
I must see the doctor at once. I'll be right over
there's money in this for you fellas. How much? Plenty
take me to 823 Maple Street and I'll tell you all about it.
Let's go.
That's him. Who? Cami
Nelson? Oh,
I'd love to get my hands on him.
Come on. Let's go.
I can't see a thing. I know they're
wrong.
Good.
What?
That's only a moth.
Come on,
Tommy.
I've been so worried.
I
want to see the doctor right away.
You fellows wait in the library over there. I'll be right back.
Oh, excuse me.
Hey, she called him Tommy. That's Tommy Nelson. The escape killer.
Oh, stop jumping at conclusions.
What would an escape killer want two private detectives for
so he can catch himself. So
tell me,
is this wise
the police know about you and Helen,
this is the first place they'll look and those men you brought with you.
It was my only way of getting here. But can you trust them, Tommy?
You brought me the serum while I was in jail. I wouldn't need to trust anybody.
What did happen?
Did you make up your minds that maybe I killed o'hara after all? Oh, that's not fair.
Tommy. Uncle Phil has been working day and night on the formula.
You told me you had it developed. I do. My boy.
You can see for yourself.
The
pitane serum was discovered years ago
and it works
one injection
and the cell structure becomes transparent.
But what are you waiting for?
Come on, jab me with one of those needles and the police will never catch me.
Then I'll be free to find out who really killed o'hara.
And inside of a week you'd be a raving maniac.
That's what the formula did to its discoverer. John Griffin.
No,
I've got to take that chance.
Do you want to go insane as John Griffin, did
you want to be shot down like a mad dog as he was,
he never regained his visibility until he was dead.
When he willed me this formula?
I swore I'd never use it until I'd found some safe reagent.
Some means of bringing a man back in time.
Some method of avoiding insanity,
perhaps even restoring visibility.
But doc I can't wait
unless I clear myself. It means the chair. So what difference does it make? Come on.
Come on as a boy. Come on, you can make it.
Oh
boy. Did you see that? What happened? What happened? Yeah.
Halfback just ran around his own in.
So trick
we interrupt our program to give you a police bulletin.
Have you seen this man?
He's Tommy Nelson escaped murderer. There's a $5000 reward for his capture.
If you have any information, phone river. What number 8181.
Thank you.
Hey,
you're absolutely right.
This guy is the killer.
Let's get out of here. No, no, you can't. Till now. We've got a great case.
We'll grab the murder and get the reward. We can't do that.
This guy hired you and I, the
man,
nevertheless, he's a rat
because he killed his fight manager.
No, because he didn't tell us there was a reward for him.
I'm sorry, Tommy. I can't do it.
It's the police. Come on, let, sneak out the back way and they can't catch us. Good.
Come on, let's go. Hey, wait a minute. We're detectives. What am I running for?
Am I a crook?
Do
you want me to answer that? Is it,
Tommy? It's the police. Stall them off and I'll try to get out the back way.
All right, man. Take your positions.
It's a legal search warrant, my dear.
But it's perfectly ridiculous. I've been ridiculous before. Beautiful Roy.
You and I will take the upstairs, Joe. You cover the back.
Eddie. You stay right here.
I
didn't,
you
didn't.
We've got to catch Nelson before the cops do and collect that reward.
Now, I'll watch out in the hall and you watch here.
Oh, no, you ain't gonna do it to me now, right then you watch here now,
watch out in the hall.
Ok.
That's the same thing.
Hey, we've got him.
You can't get away.
I don't
have
to.
But
what?
Don't worry he can't get out, neither can I.
But
I
Mr Nelson,
I don't want the reward.
I'm for you.
Let's shake hands on it.
A
boy.
Uh,
ah,
don't forget we get the reward. My pals got him covered that boy is always on his toes.
Well, where is he?
Paul was on his toes, huh? Give me a whip. Come on. Lou snap out of it.
Come on, boy, here, I'll give him a whip for this.
What happened?
Oh, Bud, I'm gonna tell you some, Bud.
Here's Bud over here. Hi, Bud. How you
come here?
Where did Tommy Nelson go? Where did he go?
He disappeared. Well, how did he get out of here? In installments installments?
Yeah, he did the Gypsy Rosalie. How did
Gypsy?
That,
that, that's all that's left of him. Well, evidently Nelson changed clothes.
What was he wearing the last time you saw him?
Air.
Nothing but air.
And then he asked me how he looked wearing air. What are you talking about?
He was standing right here
and then I shook hands with him.
His hand was gone.
Then I went to speak to him,
his head was gone.
Then he took off his shirt, his body was gone. He took off his pants, his legs were gone
and then he spoke to me.
I was gone.
This guy is a psycho if I've ever seen one.
Now, would you mind coming to the police station and telling a real nice man?
Just what you told us,
don't you believe what I saw? Sure. I do. Why things like this happen every day.
They do. Where have I been?
I don't know where you've been but I know where you're going
So you let him get away. Now, we can't take
the $5000 reward
about Chris.
You kicked me
and what's the idea of calling me a double crosser? That wasn't me. That was him.
That, that was him. Now, don't, don't lie.
Come on, my boys, bring it up, bring it up.
Now. Don't keep the nice man waiting. Come on.
I know, I know you saw this man disappear into space. That's right.
Do you always see things or your eyes are open?
And have you ever seen anyone disappear before? Yes, sir.
My brother,
this may have been the start of this complex seeing things. Tell me about it.
Well, my brother and I, we were walking down the street
all of a sudden he disappeared and thin
air no, into a manhole.
How about voices?
Do you ever hear strange voices coming out of the air?
Yes, sir.
Uh When does this happen?
When I get the wrong number on the telephone?
Had a headache?
Suppose you go over there and lie down?
Why don't you believe me sitting here?
Would you get over there, please? All right.
Yeah, lie down. Perhaps we can find out something from your subconscious mind.
Now, uh tell me what's wrong with me.
Well,
here's he,
what'd you get down there?
Often the conscious mind will lie. But from the subconscious, we get the truth.
You know where the subconscious mind comes from?
Subway.
Now, look into my eyes
you are going to sleep.
You are going to sleep on sleep to sleep. 3456. What are you doing?
I'm cutting cows, cows. I'm allergic to sheep,
sleep, sleep,
sleep.
And now you are asleep.
I am
come, come, you must go to sleep. We must find out why you were seeing things
and I watch this.
Concentrate on this
tick, tick, tick,
tick
talk.
You forgot to say the mouse one at the clock. But you've got to go to sleep.
I can't, I'm too busy. Look at this clock, but you must concentrate on that.
We've got to help you. We've got to make you better.
But first we've got to find out what causes these things. We must find
out.
No,
what's with that? Psycho? Nothing yet. We'll find out what's cooking. Ok.
Wake up. Will you please wake up? Please wake up? Oh, will you please wake up?
Hey, what's happened here? I don't know.
He was trying to put me to sleep with this watch like this here.
He kept saying sleep, sleep, sleep, take the top
thick cut. You see, officer, I was,
was your hair?
I mean,
I wonder what the doctor is doing here so late.
Somebody's gotta be there. Do you think anything happened to him? I hope so.
Come on, we'll find out.
Oh,
why don't you call and get up? Hey, doc, will you help me to get him up? Come on.
Will you get up fellas.
Doc.
What's the matter? What's happened? Well, what happened?
You were trying to put me to sleep with your watch.
Tatat.
Oh,
no,
give me that was.
Get out of here. Your daughter here. Now,
Doc, did you find out anything? Yes.
Once before he saw his brother disappear into thin air. No, into a sore.
Yeah.
The fine detective. You are,
you not only messed up our first case but you proved to the cops that you're a moron.
I did not. They did.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
I have a message from Tommy.
He wants you to prove that he's innocent.
I have a $500 retainer for you. 500 bucks.
You're to take this grip to the south end of Riverside Park.
You know that deeply wooded section.
Leave the grip there and Tommy will contact you. Here's the $500
we'll get in touch with you at your house. Any messages for Tommy. Oh, yes.
Tell Tommy, my uncle is working on the reagent.
Thanks for the 500.
Well, that's that now we have
so
he's invisibly
then. Why take clothes to them?
Hey, wait a minute.
What are you two cooking up on me? What did this guy give you to escape? Come on.
Don't lie to me.
Uh huh. Just as I thought
$500.
Well, you'll get no parts of this 500 or the 500 the dame gave me.
That'll teach you to be honest someday or other.
Oh yeah.
No, you don't. No, you don't.
You leave that alone
touch that again. I'll break both of your arms.
You take this script.
I told you not to touch it. Didn't I
I'll give you that bill.
I said put it there and leave it there. That's better.
Give me that bill. Give me your hand, put it in my hand like that and leave it there.
I take this repeat,
take it down the end of the car and I'll be right with you.
Hurry up.
Why is that
fellow operator?
Give me police headquarters,
Tommy,
but
here's your group, Tommy.
Was he in there? Yeah, he was unpacking and unpacking. What are you talking about?
What did you see and empty woods full of Tommy Nelson.
Now don't give me that invisible stuff again. Honest.
And there were footsteps with no feed and a grip that was unpacking itself.
All right boys. Let's go.
Hey, that's some disguise, Tommy.
The cops will never recognize you. I'm not gonna get near any cops
and I'm counting on you guys to help me. Oh, you can trust me,
Tommy.
You can trust me too, Tammy.
Thanks. Let's shake on it.
Uh
Come on, let's get out of here.
If I had known it was you the phone, I wouldn't have come.
Now, if this is a wild goose chase, there happened to be a sitting duck right in my car.
Now, you bag him and I'll bag the reward. I am not interested in a reward.
I want Tommy now. So
I got the keys in my pocket. Tommy, don't get excited.
I mean, after all, there's no use you losing your head. Of course, I mean
about army.
Not again.
All right, Tommy. Come on with your hands up.
What you again? I knew you'd do something like this.
What did I tell you take me to the station? Are you gonna see that? Nice man again? Yes.
And I'm gonna have my head examined. Lieutenant.
I'm sure I saw another man in the car when
we drove up and I'll have your head examined too.
Come on.
Well, what's your alibi? Now?
He did it again
and you did it again after me fooling the cops to be here.
You
and you did that again. Now, don't be smart.
I told you not to get smart, didn't I?
Now I'll show you who is the boss.
No,
I'll show you who's boss
who said that the voice is familiar,
but I can't quite place the face. You brought the cops here.
So you're trying to double cross me again.
Oh, no,
it's Tommy Nelson
Lou. He's here.
I touched him.
I think he touched you back.
Listen, you two.
If either of you ever cross me again, I'll break every bone in your bodies. Tommy.
I didn't do anything. Don't give me excuses. Get in the car.
Yes, sir. Not in the front and the back.
Yes sir.
Give me the keys. Hurry the keys.
Fine pal you are.
Stay there and watch me get beat up. But believe me,
I didn't see a thing.
Boy, I sure scared that guy
say Tommy,
if we get in an accident, you bleed too,
Mr Nelson. I want to apologize. Ok?
From now on, we'll work together.
So, Tommy,
you didn't kill your fight manager, did you?
The evidence says I did
when I stepped out of the shower that night,
I found o'hara on the dressing room floor, beaten to death.
The officer at the door swore no one else had entered the room.
So they hung it on me.
We believe you, Tommy,
Mr Nelson.
I forgot to tell you that Miss Gray said her uncle was working on the reagent.
That's fine
without it. I could become a raving maniac with an uncontrollable urge to kill
you.
Should
I hope he's got his driver's license.
I hope he's in the car
all over to the side.
Tell him he's driving.
I said pull over to this.
Now, tell it to me again.
But I've told you three times. Well, tell him again.
I saw a car with nobody driving somebody.
I'm sorry, Tommy. I didn't know you was behind me.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing,
Rowan?
I gotta be on Staten Island in 20 minutes.
You better hurry. The tide's going out
and now
now in preparation for his fight with Young Malloy,
the leading contender for the middleweight crown.
The East side's favorite son, Rocky Hanlon.
He, he couldn't lick Tomie Nelson.
Right.
Come on, Ralph.
No,
come on. Run 11.
You put the one
never win.
So that's Ruy
Ham.
Yeah.
The night I fought him,
my manager o'hara and a gambler named Morgan made a deal for me to take a dive.
I crossed him
and knocked Rocky out in the second round.
So that's why they killed your manager.
Yeah,
and that announcer there.
That was still, well,
he runs this place.
Look, I need you guys around the gym to help me out.
So tell him you'd like to train me.
You leave it to me, Tommy.
Uh Mr Stillwell
in course. Right.
What's that? It,
that's it.
Keep putting them in there.
The left up.
Cm.
Look, Morgan, the colonel's down front.
He ain't smart if he gets around that you own Rocky.
I know what I'm doing. This fight will put us all on the blue chips.
Yeah, that's what you said before. Rocky fought Tommy Nelson.
Well, this time there'll be no slip up. Malloy dives in the sixth round.
Does his manager understand that?
I keep asking him if he does keep asking him if he knows what happened to o'hara
Peter.
That's it.
Yeah.
He don't look like much of a fighter to me,
but you can train him here as long as you pay me.
Thanks. Yeah, in
case the substitute is needed on a fight card. Should I give him a bout sure.
Give him a bout. Yeah. Ok. Give me a bout,
yeah, give me about 20 minutes to get out of town. No, no.
Listen, you told him you were a fighter.
You've got to live up to the name but you know I'm no fighter.
Oh, what's the difference? Look, watch this,
Tommy. You here.
This is our first move.
I stick close to that bag and I'll do the rest.
I've never seen anything like him.
Why? The little guy's wonderful.
Hey, you're missing the greatest exhibition I've ever seen.
Look,
be better.
Great stuff. Fella. You punch a bag just like Tommy Nelson.
That's what I've been telling myself.
Hey, Steve, get a picture of this fellow.
Oh, wait a minute.
I made 40 grand last year. What was your take?
About 10% of that? Well, they pay attention to me.
Hey, you make with a camera
he's ready to blow up. Start working on him
just a minute. C
this butterball can smear you all over the map?
Oh, but don't say that and I'll repeat it. He can smear you all over the map.
It steam em up, bud.
And while he's doing that, what do you think I'll be doing?
Smear my map all over the place. You said it. Now, both of you shove off.
That's sailor. Talk
like taking a dive. Listen, nobody has to take a dive for me.
I can whip anybody my weight that includes you.
But let us smear your map all over the place.
So now you want to fight me?
Well, if you're looking for a fight, I'll give you one.
Lo take a poke at him. Me,
yes, you do. You want him to think? I'm a coward. Look, I'll fight the two of you.
You couldn't even like him. Oh, yes, he could.
I wait a minute. Take a punch at him.
I dare you. I double dare you stop coaxing him.
Oh,
what a slugger?
I couldn't even see the punch. It was a right cross. No, it was an upper cut.
Say what punch did you use? It was sort of a half nelson, maybe a whole nelson.
What's your name?
Louis Francis, Lo
Francis
Louis the looper. What a story. Where have you fought? Well, I
tell him something.
Ok, Tommy, I mean,
listen, I haven't had a fight with the school. Will say something. Ok.
II, I can remember the classes but I, I can't sort of remember the names. I let me see.
Oh, yes. I licked Chucky Lamon
in the fourth and I looked Chuck Grant in the sixth and a,
and a teacher licked me in the eighth.
The teacher, he, he means his trainer.
Are you his manager? Sure.
Would you consider a fight between your boy and Rocky Hanlon?
Yes. What are you talking about? Rocky fights? Young Malloy next week.
That's right.
I'm fighting Malloy next week.
Sure. Rocky's fighting Malloy next week, not after the story.
I'm writing a handler. Malloy Waltz wouldn't draw flies
attention. Sports fans. My first exclusive,
the Rocky head of them, Louie, the looper fight is set and I say,
watch this boy Louie the looper.
His looks are deceiving,
but there's no denying his punching ability.
I was the first to recognize Joe Lewis
and is studying Louis the looper's deceptive style.
Half Tony Galant,
half Benny Leonard.
I say
watch this boy.
I'll
go. What do you got, Lou
here,
Jack
and you bud
cleans up.
No good
three tens. You lose
Tommy. You are the luckiest guy.
Say Tommy.
What's the idea of us living in this high class
gym joint for the benefit of our gambling friend,
Morgan?
Cut the cards?
Uh, what's the matter, don't you trust me?
How do you like that? I think somebody's cheating.
You can say that again.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
What you got to
Tommy?
Ok. I'm Dylan,
by the way, Tommy. What is your plan?
Well, Morgan will hear that you guys are a couple of free spenders. See,
and figure you can be reached.
He'll make a contact and we'll lead him on
then
the night of the fight, Tommy.
Do I have to go into the ring with Rocky Handler?
What are you worrying about?
I'll be in there with you every minute
dying to take a crack at Rocky
and I'll be in there just dying.
I opened,
I state
God
one.
Give me two,
123.
Hm.
I bet
I'll raise you a bit.
I'll raise you.
Mm.
I see that
and I raise you,
that lets me out.
I raise against.
What are you doing?
I wanna make sure you're not picking.
Oh, Miss Gray
is Tommy here. Yes. Please come in.
Tell me
Helen is here.
Hello, Helen. Tammy?
Oh, we ought to hang a bell around this boy's neck. Maybe since I changed his clothes.
Clothes. What clothes? I'll be right
out.
Hello?
I guess you do want to be alone. Oh, no, but
not Helen and me, Helen and Tommy. Oh, come on.
Goodbye.
I
still think somebody's cheating
Helen. You shouldn't have come here.
You may have been followed and the police could spoil my plans.
I'm sorry, dear.
I've been so worried last night. There was fog and fog or smoke. They can see you.
I'll be careful. So don't worry. It isn't only that Tommy.
My uncle is worried too about the, about the effect of the drug on my mind.
Well, tell him I never thought more clearly in my life.
I've never felt so free
invisibility. Gives me a sense of power
for good or for evil. Tell me that
that feeling of power,
it might be a symptom.
Please come back to the laboratory. I can,
I must have time to clear myself another day a week at the most
and your uncle can try whatever he wants. All right, Tommy,
but for my sake,
please be careful.
I will.
Goodbye, boys. Uh,
goodbye, Miss Green. Goodbye, Helen.
If he starts acting strangely, call me.
If he starts acting strangely, I won't be able to open up my mouth.
We'll call you if anything happens.
Thanks.
Goodbye.
Where are we going to the bubble room? That's Morgan's hangout.
And the quicker you meet Morgan, the quicker we'll get action.
And I crave action.
Who is it?
Detective
Tommy? You craved action. Well, you're gonna get it. Come on, get out of here
just a minute. Detective Robertson.
How?
Oh,
now you stand there. He won't be able to see you
on your knees, on your knees.
Boy,
what can we do for you? Nothing.
Nothing at all.
I just wanted to check up on what you've seen today.
Are you still seeing men disappear into thin air or is today? Flying Saucer Day?
This guy needs a psychiatrist.
What I need is information and I want it quick.
I trailed Nelson's girl here and I know she didn't come to see you two guys.
Now, where's Nelson? You can believe me. I have not seen him since last night.
That goes for me too. Oh, so you haven't seen him, huh?
Ok, Nelson. Get your hands up.
What,
what's this?
My laundry? I'm sending it out to you. Lord. Oh, don't forget to say hello to that.
Nice man. With the watch.
Come in
the glass belongs here.
Mhm.
Hm.
It's not right to make noise when you eat,
but I'm starved.
I'll have the lamb chop lunch.
I know what I want. Spaghetti and a steak.
What do you want?
Spaghetti
and a steak?
You said you knew what you wanted? Do you want spaghetti or a steak?
I'll have a spaghetti
and a steak.
Yes, sir.
I, I used to be a juggler.
Many, many is the time.
Do you care for anything else, sir?
Um
Yeah. Yes,
you can get me that swan
dish there for a side on it.
A
long time.
A waiter
bring two dishes. I want to go.
He's,
that's boots Marsden.
I had a hunch. He was tied up with Morgan,
but he doesn't even look like a fighter. He's fat and short.
So you won't have so far to fall when he takes a dive.
Start working, baby.
Hey,
she's coming this way.
I must have caught her eye.
May I join you? Sure, sure. Sit here, Miss Marsden.
Move out,
move over.
I hope you don't get the wrong impression of me,
but I have two good reasons for wanting to meet you.
The first one is when I read what Louis the Looper did to Rocky Hanlon.
I said to myself,
there's a man
that's the first time anybody ever said that about me.
And the second reason
I'm a woman
that's even better than the first one.
How about little drink?
No, thank you.
Not here.
I like, uh, privacy.
There's nothing like wearing something comfortable and
turning the lights down low and
having a nice cool drink with a nice warm person.
Yeah. Yeah. My place at the Carlton Towers is overcrowded.
The Carlton Towers now, isn't that a coincidence or fate or something?
I live at the Carlton Towers too.
Hey, that's great. I live there too.
I hope you like your room.
Yeah,
I'll be home all evening.
Boots,
boots,
boots. Ah, shut up. You sound like
Gad Din
Morgan's made his first move
tonight. He'll make his second
or I should say she will.
Includes
spaghetti.
What a combination.
What are you stuffing in your mouth?
Come on
to
me.
But what's the matter?
I don't want to do this. Now, listen,
all we're trying to do is prove that Tommy was framed.
You see this recording machine here?
All you have to do is start it. Then we'll get a record of what she says.
And then you'll have a record of what I say. Now, I come here.
Listen, all you have to do is lead her on.
Come in.
Good evening.
Good night.
What did you say? Good night for.
I think she's getting ready to go to bed. So,
come in Louie.
Oh,
you shouldn't have done that. I know.
I'm just a little squirt flowers for me. Yes, ma'am.
How thoughtful. I put them over there on the table.
I just love flowers. They're like true friends. They see so much and hear so much
and yet they never talk. Are you sure it would surprise people
if they did?
Don't move.
Stand where you are?
I'm caught.
I didn't mean anything.
Don't talk
that light on your profile.
It shows your iron will, your rugged individuality, your indomitable courage.
Oh, darling. I always want to see you the way you are now.
It's your looks. I'm worried about.
Well, not that you can't beat Rocky,
but one lucky punch from him could ruin that profile
and then I'd lose all interest.
You mean you wouldn't like me if I wasn't pretty?
Of course, I mean, it,
when it's so unnecessary,
there's more money to be made losing a fight than winning one.
All you have to do is agree to get knocked out.
You can even name the round.
First round.
Mhm.
Second round.
Hm.
Third round.
How many rounds can you last? Suppose? You agree to three rounds
and some nice friend will deposit a lot of money in the bank for you.
Well, how am I going to know the nice man that's going to put the money in the bank.
Maybe I can arrange a meeting.
I'll phone.
But remember
all of this is off the record,
lo
everything's set ready to go to the bubble room.
Oh, no, you won't regret this. Oh,
ouch. Let's fight another round.
What was that noise?
That's off the record.
Tommy. Please listen.
You must be made to realize the danger of his mental condition.
Tommy.
Tommy. The doctor is afraid, afraid,
afraid of what
that he'll never find the reagent
that I'll never be visible again.
Well, tell him not to worry.
I feel,
I feel much better this way.
No one can touch me.
Not even the cops
that makes me a nemesis.
It makes me a dictator. Tommy. Tommy, please, please, Tommy.
I'll take it easy here.
He,
he's all right, Helen.
I'll take care of him.
Yeah, he's just a little drunk.
Sure. Sure. I'm drunk,
drunk with the power of invisibility.
I am the ruler of an invisible empire.
My loyal subjects. I will reward my enemies. I will destroy
uh
to be or not to be a last poor
a
horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.
Put that down. Pour us a drink.
You,
you heard me pour a drink?
What's the matter with this one?
That one?
Uh Yes, that one,
I'm a two
fisted drinker.
Put it in there.
Well, well, boots, Marin and lo
the looper. Let's have a picture. Help yourselves, boys. Take a couple. Hey, champ.
How about a picture of you drinking champagne out of her slipper. Why not?
Ok.
Uh We'll call a pitcher, uh pushing the boot.
What a sense of humor.
Ready folks,
actually?
Ok.
Oh, trying to be smart. Don't fool with the P so Mr, this is Louis the Looper.
Oh OK, Louie,
I'm sorry, I spilled the champagne on you. Oh, that's nothing. Thank you.
Compared to the blood that Rocky Hanlon's gonna spill all over you.
If he wasn't here, I'd suck him. That's all right. I'm leaving now. I'll go with
I,
you stay here. I just made contact with the money,
man.
But
I done everything you told me to do.
Well, let's
get off on me. I'm sorry, Tommy. Did you get the record? I did and very fast too.
I broke a record when I hired you guys.
I thought I was getting a couple of good detectives.
We may not be good detectives
but we're very, very good friends. Friends.
Excuse me?
Did it ever occur to you that friendship is at its best or rather doubtful asset?
I don't want friends.
I shall have followers, worshipers,
people who will obey me because they were real
greatness. Two arms, four score and 6755332. Can you put your hand down,
Tommy? If you don't pipe down, we'll all get into trouble. And another thing
you didn't give me a chance to tell you that boots is contacting the money man.
Well, in that case, let's celebrate. Pour us a drink. Lou No, Tommy. No.
Do you realize that every time you go on a
sloom, the devil goes in with you? Well, if he does, he pays for his own drink.
Excuse me.
This time, we'll do things my way.
There's a lady present.
The looper will get his dough the night of the fight.
Why don't you save your dough boss? That guy just got in a lucky punch at the gym.
I can take him. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Sure.
Like you could take Nelson, only Nelson took you and o'hara took my money
this time. There'll be no slip ups, but he thinks he's going to meet you. He is
if he tries to double cross me.
Thank you,
Tommy. Don't you think you've had enough
Tommy?
You shouldn't drink other people's drinks.
Oh,
it's you again now, wait a minute. Just a minute. Don't get excited fella.
This happens to be lo
the looper.
I know
he's a buzz saw.
Well, here's why he's going to lose a couple of teeth.
Why didn't you duck, duck? I didn't even see the punch coming. Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Save your punches for tomorrow night looper. You'll need them.
Let's have a nightcap.
Sure. Looper,
Tommy. We had enough drinks.
Oh, is that so? Yeah, that's so.
Excuse me, sir.
No,
sir.
Oh, Tommy,
I'm only telling you for your own good.
Hello?
He's down there,
Tommy.
What are you doing with my drink? Oh, I thought it was mine.
Yeah, I've heard that one now. Wait
just a minute, but I'll handle this. I'll take care of this myself.
Right? Tommy.
Now, go ahead and start something
double cross it.
Hey,
hey,
you hit my friend. I
break it up, fellas.
The boss don't like no rough stuff.
You heard him?
Blue,
blue come out of it lo
there, see
this little
house
that didn't happen,
Tommy. We've got to get him out of here. Yeah, I'll give you a hand.
Come on, get hold of him.
Come on,
take my whole out.
Oi tummy.
What happened,
Tommy got knocked out? That's funny. I thought it was me. Shut up.
He got knocked out by the revolving door. We
hit on the head. Where is he? I don't know. We've got to get him out of here, honey,
Tommy. Tommy.
Where is he?
Pick him out?
Get
him
out.
Better boy. Pick him up, get in the door. Hurry up.
Give
me that.
I
don't think we're gonna make it. You make
it, bring them over to me. Fold them up, wait a minute,
wait a minute,
hold them
there.
Get in
there. Get
inside.
All
right.
But
don
now tell it to me again.
I saw two men carrying
no man.
Imagine my trying to solve this riddle in a week.
The harder I work, the more impossible it seems. Oh, Tommy.
00,
hey,
where am I?
You know, I don't know
you're home with me, darling,
Ellen, baby.
Oh,
it's good to see you.
It's good to,
to have you here with us. Tommy,
us.
Oh, hello, fellows.
Gee, I, I
sure poured one on last night, didn't I? You said it a king size one? Boy,
you were sure crazy.
What's the matter with you? I was going to tell him that he was great.
What do you think? I was gonna say crazy?
He, he means about you. Uh trying to drink everybody's drinks last night.
I, I don't remember that.
I drank so much. I don't remember seeing anybody. We even, we didn't even see you
but I do remember that deal with Boots Marsden.
Now, what about the money?
Well, we didn't have time to close the deal yet or get in touch with her.
Close the deal.
Tell
her you'll take the economy around. She wants
when we get into the ring with Rocky, we double cross Morgan and knock his boy cold.
Hey,
this Morgan
is he mean? He's a killer. He's mean.
And if my hunch is right,
he'll try to do what he did to o'hara.
Bump butt off and put the blame on you. Lou
fight post
bold.
Don't worry. Lou.
As long as I'm in there with you, you're a cinch to win. I'm gonna make sure of it.
What's that perfume? If I can't see you, at least I'm gonna smell you.
I'll show you how
doctor
Yes, Tommy. I, I try to sit up
but I'm paralyzed. I can't move.
Take it easy, Tommy. I have you strapped down.
It's just a precaution against a possible mental relapse with the fight tonight.
I'm sorry, Tommy. But I can't afford to take any chances. You can't take any chances.
What about the chance I took? Helen said you were afraid.
You're not afraid for me.
You're afraid for yourself, afraid of what the medical profession would do to you.
But you want to keep me chained up like a mad dog to save your good name.
But you won't give me a chance to clear mine
in all sports fans.
My prediction for tonight's fight between Rocky Hanlon and Louie the looper.
Louie, the Looper was still in training late last night.
Evidently, he ran out of sparring partners.
Midnight found him completely exhausted.
Perhaps this accounts for the wise money being switched
over in favor of Helen late this afternoon.
Both men lack defense but are strong on offense.
Therefore, I predict this will be the most offensive fight of the year.
Tummy
or tummy.
Tommy.
The
relax.
He said he'd be here
so he'll be here,
Tommy.
Ok.
Smoke it.
That
what are you doing?
What are you doing? Don't you remember Helen said you could see him a smoke or fog.
I know, but smoking will make you sick and you won't be able to fight.
I won't be able to fight. No,
give me that cigar,
Tommy. But Tommy
compliments of a friend.
No
good.
He,
you can smell them or wear them.
The fifth round will tell.
Then you lay down in the fifth round.
If Tommy don't get here, I'm gonna lay down right now.
Hm.
Uh
hey, hey,
money
for
money.
That 1000 for you. 1000 for me. 123 4000 for him. 1000 for you 1000 for me.
123 4000 for him. Wait, wait a minute. Who's getting a bigger share than we are him?
Who's him? The income tax man?
Tammy. Tammy,
Tammy,
you're on next all set. We're all set. What's the odds?
5 to 2 that rocky smears and half
of.
Where are you going? Get a cop? Why? Somebody's gonna get murdered? Uh Come here.
Stupid
people work a lifetime and never get $15,000. You're getting it for just lying down,
lying down.
That's what's got me worried.
The big question is, will I be able to get up?
Look, buddy,
don't let me go in that ring without Tommy.
Look lou,
if Tommy goes in the ring with you,
he'll knock out Rocky
and Morgan will bump you off. Oh, no,
you get bumped off. I get the hot seat.
I mean, I get the hot seat and you get bumped off one way or the other.
I'm gonna get it in the end. Now. Look lou here's what we've got to do
without Tommy. You go in the ring and lay down like Morgan wants,
everybody will be happy and we'll be in the 15 grand, but we promised Tommy
Sure, sure. He promised to be here. Did he show up? Yeah,
that's what I'm trying to tell you. Do you? Listen,
I heard you telling of,
I'm sorry.
Tell me, I thought you ran out on us. The doc had me tied in his lab. I
finally broke the straps.
Are you guys gonna play on my side or does lo
the looper want to fight Rocky by himself?
I'm on your side, Tommy,
my heart's in the right place and I want to keep it there.
Don't worry when we get in the ring,
I'll do the pitching as long as I don't do any catching
semifinals over. Let's go. Come on chap. Follow me,
chest out stomach in.
I said stomach
in
ladies and gentlemen,
this is the main attraction of the evening. 10 rounds of boxing, introducing
at 160 pounds, the leading contender for the middleweight crown. Rocky
hand
and in this corner,
that new sensation, Louie the looper
walking.
Hey,
we've still got a chance to change our minds.
I'd rather argue with Tommy than try and outrun Morgan's bullets.
I'm gonna go out there and lay down without even say my prayers.
What are you guys whispering upon?
We were, we were,
we were what?
We were saved by the bell.
Your referee for tonight's main event, Frankie Ba.
Now you boys know the rules. I want a good clean fight, ok?
We ought to clean up on this
every dollar the syndicate has, is riding on the loop and not going fine. Brown.
And I say break, I want you to break clean,
shake hands,
go to your corners and come out fighting at the bell.
Just fainted his chin. Lo
I'll do the rest. Sit up.
Right.
No, no, no, no, no. Over there.
Thank
00, believe me, folks, there'll be an investigation on this one.
I swear there wasn't a blow struck.
He never even touched you. What are you doing?
He told me to faint. Get up. Get up.
No.
Hey, wait a minute.
That's no fair hit in the air.
If you're trying to throw this fight,
I'll hold you up by 10 rounds and let them cut you to ribbons.
Now get up
six.
Now do as I told you.
Ok, Tommy, I'll be good.
Tommy. Tommy calls me. You're in the brodies already pal.
I
don't know whether these old eyes are failing
or that boy hits like grease lightning.

Hey.
Mhm.
Tommy. Will he get up open your eyes before he closes mine.
You're after watch while you're punching. Are you kidding?
Come on. Right.
Knock him out.
And so the first round ends
and I'm Frank to say that I don't get it.
Get up there.
Do you realize that every punch that Rocky gets shortens my life?
Well, what about my life? Don't worry. Let me handle this. Sure. Sure.
Look at the conditions of the guy in that other corner.
What's the matter? Rocky.
Rocky.
Rocky, what's the matter?
There's something phony about this.
Get over to Rocky's corner
because
he hits from nowhere hard.
I can feel the guy's knuckles coming through the gloves.
It's like I'm fighting two guys
and I keep hearing voices, like someone's talking to him, hearing voices, eh?
That's bad.
I wonder what they're up to. Yeah. So do I?
Ok.
Rocky's been hit so hard. He's hearing voices. I don't get this.
Every one of the looper's punches has been shot.
I told you he couldn't trust those two guys. Get me the torpedo.
Yes.
Ok, Tommy,
here's what we ring down the curtain
do.
Come
start punching 45,
Tommy.
What,
Tommy? Who
green?
What are you doing? I'm smelling it.
It's poor English. But you sure do.
Seven,
eight tummy nine.
Hey, by
so the towel will you?
Oh, it's too dirty.
And besides you're doing great.
He hasn't laid a glove on. You. Keep your eye on the referee.
Somebody knows
me.
Yeah.
TBA.
What's wrong boy?
I'm not sure.
Tell milk to get into a cop's uniform.
If those guys try to pull anything, we'll give him the same treatment we gave o'hara.
Ok,
Louis. The looper has again been knocked for a loop.
Only this time the bell saved him. He'll never come out for the next round.
Head
up. Right.
You're doing great. You're doing swell.
Stop stalling and give them the smelling salts.
Oh, he blew his to,
ok.
Come on. Lou snap out of
it,
Tommy,
you're here. Yeah, good.
You fight him for a while. I'm tired.
Get in and make it look good.
Folks have never seen anything like it.
Lo looks like he's out on his feet but he's managing to avoid most of Rocky's punches.
Rocky's swinging wild.
What
do
34,
right. Cross
right to the stomach.
Upper
one. Get up. Do
get up
all set. Yes,
let's go. Stay where you are?
789,
I'll see you guys later,
Tommy. Never mind. Let's get out of here.
No, the press boys, they're gonna shoot my picture and Morgan's boys wanna shoot me.
Now. Come on, let's get out of here.
He's sure nobody comes into that dressing room except lo
and his manager.
I know. Same as last time
was,
I'm sure they're pretty in a cop's uniform
and I hope my mother don't say me
no,
Bud. Where is he? I don't know. He said he'd see us later.
I'm sure I found the reagent. We've got to get hold of him right away. Do
you better get him or you're gonna have two more patients on your hands? Leave me,
if you don't mind, doctor, let's the three of us have a nice little fireside chat.
Chat. About what? Oh, I don't know.
Let's say arithmetic every time I add up you two with those two guys,
the correct answer comes out Tommy Nelson.
Really? Yeah. Really? Now, I don't know how it was done.
But if you think that, I think Louis the Looper knocked out Rocky Hanlon.
You must think that I'm a fool again. You have the correct answer. Lieutenant.
That's what I say.
Hey, wait a minute, doc, wait a minute, please,
brother. Are we glad you're here? Yeah,
Morgan is actress and Morgan is a crook and so is his whole gang.
Yes.
But we're safe as long as you're here, don't you worry,
Morgan won't be going in your dressing room.
Where are you going to the Looper's dressing room? It's urgent officer.
Sorry, folks. Nobody's allowed inside but the looper and his manager.
Now, wait a minute. Now, you wait a minute.
Boy,
I'm glad the cop was outside the door. I'm not scared anymore. Well, I am,
the cop outside the door.
Didn't save o'hara from getting the works or Tommy from going to jail. Yeah,
but they can't give me the hot seat until you're dead.
Which won't be long. Now,
I got one thing in my favor.
Morgan don't know
that we know how he framed Tommy Nelson
and he don't know that we're private detectives. He does. Now,
neither of you will get a chance to tell the cops anything.
Hello, Pal, let's talk this thing over. There's no,
this is the payoff, Morgan
who's talking Tommy Nelson
and I'm taking you to the cops to tell how you framed me.
Not as long as this gun is in my hand.
Get the gun. Lo
Morgan
confess that you frame me or I'll break your arm.
Ok.
Come on, Morgan. Talk, talk.
What at your place, man? Confess. Ok, Tommy, I got coverage.
Tommy. Let him have it. Huh? Let him have it. Ok? Oh, no.
All right, Tommy Nelson or whatever you are
the minute you touch me, he gets it. Tommy.
You miss
Tommy.
Don't
laugh.
If you get killed, it'll be through me, Tommy to
only two shots left. Mark
have a nice day.
The market
is
try it again. Morgan.
Ah,
fellas
looks like I'm in the clear.
We've cleaned up my case pretty well.
Tommy.
I think I can see it.
I can do.
Hold on to that. Phony
Tommy Nelson is innocent. These are the men that kill o'hara. Lock em up, boys.
Get these bugs out of here
nowhere.
Tommy,
we'll have to get into the hospital. Get hold of the hospital.
Kim
him.
Yeah, him.
This transfusion should give him strength enough to stand the reagent.
Anyway, we'll soon find out
reagent test.
I was lucky. You had the same tight blood as Tommy.
Why can't you be lucky sometime
Helen.
Tell me,
hey, this is impossible.
No,
I can see Tommy
Quiet Bud. Yeah,
you're in a hospital.
You shouldn't make any noise.
Then
it's catching
my hand is gone.
Phil,
don't worry. Some of Tommy's blood may have backed up during the transfusion.
I'm not worried. Doc
I'm going to like being invisible.
I'll be the greatest detective in the whole world. I'll be able to find anybody
but you can't even find yourself.
That's what you think.
Come on, bud.
Can't you do something for him? I don't think his invisibility will last long.
He couldn't have gotten that much serum.
Come on. But,
all right.
All right.
You, it wasn't me. Please
lou wherever you are. Come on. Let's go. Wait a minute.
I got some unfinished business.
Oh, no.
Z hold back.
My feet are on on.
That's just like you, you get everything backwards. Come on.
