Maybe I got it at a store

or a gas station or some place.

Take me back over the road.

I can prove...

Not a thing in the car. Not a thing.

Take care of this stranger, Frank.

Go through his clothes.

Sure you haven't forgot anything,

Wilson?

Yeah.

There's my watch.

The ring. It's too tight. I can't get it off.

Cut it off. Why not?

I've gotta hold you, Wilson,

for the district attorney.

But you'll get a square deal.

- Come on.

- You can type that now, Myrtle.

Quiet, Rainbow.

- She'll be all right, sheriff.

- Okay.

- Looks like we got ahold of something.

- Yeah.

- Be at the barbershop if you want me.

- Okay.

Let me tell you, professor, if you

young geniuses at the high school...

...fill our children's heads

with radical ideas...

...we parents will have to get a law.

- Not possible to get a law...

...that denies the right to say what

one believes, in peace times anyway.

- Who says so?

- The Constitution of the United States.

I don't believe it.

You should read it sometime.

You would be surprised.

Well, that's enough

of that now, Sven.

I had to read it

to become an American.

You never had to

because you was born here.

Hello, Meyers? Anything new

on this awful Peabody case?

I don't know.

You public servants quit playing cards.

Maybe you'd bring somebody to justice.

What'd you say if I raked in

a guy this morning...

...might know something

about them kidnappers? Yeah.

What do you suppose it is makes people

do things like snatching that kid?

Nutty, I guess.

Now, I'll tell you.

People get funny impulses.

If you resist them, you're sane...

...if you don't, you're on your way

to the nuthouse or the pen.

At the taxpayers' expense.

Mr. Jorganson, you've got one

of the levelest heads in the county.

Would you believe that in the 20 years

that I've been stroking this razor...

...across throats here...

...that many a time

I've had an impulse...

...to cut their

Adam's apples wide open?

Just like that.

Yes, sir.

How about it, Hec?

Do you feel an impulse coming on?

An impulse is an impulse.

It's like an itch. You gotta scratch it.

Hello?

What's that, Hector?

My oldest customer.

All on account of that Bugs Meyers

from the sheriff's office...

...telling a cock-and-bull story

about his capturing...

...one of that Peabody kidnapping gang.

- I got something on the stove, precious.

Call you back. Bye-bye.

Mrs. Tuttle! Mrs. Tuttle!

- Of all things.

- For mercy's sake, what is it?

Just wait. My husband phoned me.

They've arrested a man.

And they think he's

one of the kidnappers.

Fanny!

That barber's wife says this morning

they caught a man on the old road...

...who they suspect knows
