:03:00
Who?
George Beckett!
:03:02
Tell him to get down to the
police station as soon as possible.
:03:05
And for heaven sakes, whatever
you do, keep your head!
:03:07
I don't want to
stay here by myself!
:03:10
Well, I told you to get on
the phone and call my editor!
:03:13
Now, go on!
:03:15
Aah!
:03:30
Hey, Heggs.
Wait a minute.
:03:33
Ollie, what are you doin' here? The
price tag on your suit's hangin' out.
:03:36
That's my press card, and you
know it. Beckett called. What's up?
:03:39
I got a story!
That's what's up!
:03:41
You just sit tight. If there's
a story, I'll handle it.
:03:43
Chief! You'd better get somebody out
to the old Simmons mansion right away!
:03:47
A terrible thing happened! I
got the pictures and everything!
:03:50
I was coming down the street... Now,
wait a minute, Luther. Just calm down.
:03:54
Give it to me nice and slow.
I was comin' down the street...
:03:56
Too fast.
Yeah, cool it, sport.
:03:58
What happened, Luther? Well,
I was comin' down the street...
:04:00
What's up? Oh, Mr. Beckett, I'm glad...
:04:03
I got this call from Susanna Blush:
two-by-fours, Calver Weems, Lawrence Welk...
:04:06
I'm glad you're here. I got a real
scoop... pictures and everything.
:04:09
I've been trying to get the story from
Walter Cronkite here, but he just won't give.
:04:13
- What's this all about?
- I don't know. He's so keyed up.
:04:16
- Will somebody listen to me?
- All right, Luther. Just calm down.
:04:19
Calm? Calm?
:04:22
Do "murder" and "calm"
go together?
:04:24
"Calm" and "murder"?
"Murder"?
:04:27
Murder?
Murder!
:04:29
Well, all right, Luther.
Let's hear it.
:04:31
All right! Well, I was out
on Warren Harding Road...
:04:34
and I passed the Simmons mansion when
all of a sudden I heard this scream...
:04:37
"Help! Help! Murder!"
Murder?
:04:39
Yeah, murder. Quick as a flash,
I whipped my Edsel around,
:04:41
I sped back to the scene of
the crime, got out of the car...
:04:44
and there it was.
:04:46
Do I have to tell you how I
felt when I saw it laying there?
:04:48
Saw what? The dead body of Calver Weems.
:04:52
He'd been bludgeoned
to death by a board.
:04:54
I'd better get somebody
out there right away.
:04:55
Did you see that happen? No, Susanna
Blush saw it. She's an eyewitness.
:04:59
- Susanna Blush.
- Yeah. Lives across the street. An eyewitness.
