Well, all right. And get out

of that gingerbread. Spike's waiting.

Now, be a nice Charlie

and don't move from where you are.

- It ain't much good buzzing them.

- Why not?

They ain't in their rooms, that's why.

The beds is all made up, untouched.

But that's impossible.

They were both at home last night

when I went to bed.

- They must have been kidnapped.

- No, ma'am. Evidence is evidence.

You see, they both went out shortly

after you went to bed last night.

- What?

- "Miss Agnew retired at 9:25...

...leaving Miss Irene and Mr. Beaver

in the living room.

At one minute past 10, a gentleman called. "

They were expecting him.

He came in a car,

a yellow 1931 coupe...

...with a rumble seat,

license number BX 4A3567.

It was a small noisy car.

The gentleman wasn't small

but he was noisy too.

But they've been away all night.

This has never happened before.

Oh, yes, it has, Miss Agnew, quite often.

The first time was of a Tuesday night,

March the 11 th.

Second time was four nights later,

March the 15th.

- The third time...

- Keough, how do you know all this?

I, Miss Agnew, was the first G-man.

Long before they even thought of it

in Washington.

- But, Keough, couldn't you be mistaken?

- No, ma'am.

Why, I had Dillinger sewed up four times.

I just couldn't get the commissioner

on the phone, that's all.

But why and where?

- Spike's Place.

- Where could they...? What place?

Spike's Place. They went there.

- What's that?

- It's a joint, 540 East 56th Street.

- Let me have that.

- It's one flight up.

Don't you think I'd better go along

for a kind of protection?

You know, those places

are sort of tough when you...

You beast.

You're beautiful in your distress.

Your father's heart must bleed for you.

Soon I will have him torn apart

by four camels.

Four camels.

North, south, east and west.

Oh, but, Waldo,

that's supposed to be a derisive laugh.

See? Here.

There is a way to save your father

from being torn four-ways from the middle.

There is no sacrifice too great,

no humiliation too humiliating.

Speak, Agbar, what is it you wish of me?

Well, I didn't get you here to play casino.

Wait a minute. What did you say that for?

- Nothing in the script.

- It would give us something to do.

- It was just a thought.

- Don't think.

You're an actor. Go on.

My little English orchid, to win you...

...I would have to have the heart of a lion

and the strength of 10 men.

And you will not escape me.

- What are you doing?

- I was locking the tent.

- How are you going to lock a tent?

- It's got a zipper on it.

Go on.

Oh, little desert flower,

come to my arms.

No, no. Once again, more gusto.

Oh, little desert flower,
