Well, I'll be glad to take it

and give it back to her.

And I'll see that you get a reward.

No, no, thanks. That's all right.

I'm glad to have been of service.

- You'll see that she gets it?

- Oh, yes, yes.

- I sure will.

- Thank you.

- Wouldn't you like to leave your name?

- No, that's all right.

All right.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Hello. You dropped your purse.

Played me for a sucker, huh?

Trying to pull a fast one.

I'm wise to you.

Kick back with my dough.

Don't get excited. Let's talk.

Talk nothing over. Your game is crooked.

I want my dough.

You lost your money in the game,

now get out of...

Kick back with my 50 bucks or I'll

fold your joint up like an accordion.

I'll squawk my head off

to every cop in town. Come on.

- Miss Myra Gale?

- Yes.

You dropped your purse

coming out of the beauty parlor.

I picked it up, called to you,

but I guess you didn't hear me.

Oh, that was sweet of you.

Thank you...

Oh, won't you come in for a moment?

Thank you.

All right, there's your 50 bucks.

Now get out of here.

No, I don't think I will.

Listen, boys,

I've got a little proposition to make.

There's another sucker out there

with another purse and a bankroll.

And I'm here.

What's it worth

to have me keep my trap shut?

- You've got your dough, now scram.

- Mm-mm.

I'm staying. You kick in with 10 percent

of what you take that chump for...

...or I'll go out and tip him off.

You'll keep your trap shut or...

Put that away

or I'll jam it down your throat.

Come on now, get smart.

You got a sweet racket here.

Maybe I can show you

a few new wrinkles.

Cut me in on the profits. I'll guarantee

a thousand dollars a week for your take.

What do you say?

Smart little guy, ain't you?

I've been around.

Okay. It's a deal.

Swell.

Brother-in-law.

Who was that at the door, sis?

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I didn't know you had company.

Oh, that's all right.

I lost my purse

and this gentleman returned it to me.

- Oh, what did you say your name was?

- Rowland. J.B. Rowland.

- Mr. Rowland, my brother...

- Pleased to know you, sir.

How do you do? I'm glad to know you.

I've just been playing

nickel ante with friends.

More laughs than a barrel of monkeys.

All right, Pete, Smiley, Duke and Myra.

Pick it up. It's all yours.

Open one month

and we're doing all right.

Yeah, not a bad racket.

And we got a perfect cover-up too.

Lucky day for you

when you dropped that purse.

It was lucky for all of us.

Well, kept my promise, didn't I?

Promised you a thousand

and got you 10. That's not bad.

It's all in knowing your stuff.

Gotta have ideas.

Think you could learn?

Right here.

Hey, Dan, you ought to see the dame
