than I thought. Tell it to me again.
I saw your name in the classified...
I know you're a very busy man,
but you must do something.
We need your protection.
That's why I'm here.
Fascinating.
Now tell it to me in detail.
I saw your name...
Oh, dear!
Oh, my!
Be careful. - It's the new type-flying machine.
They're really not perfected yet.
Yes? As you were...?
As you were saying?
who recently inherited,
half the Phelps department store.
- Why, of course.
You must take this case.
Well, I'd like to help you,
but I'm just dripping with offers.
I don't even answer the phone.
You'll pardon me?
- Of course.
Ten thousand dollars, ridiculous.
One would think I was starving.
It's warm in here.
- It's funny, I don't feel it. - Well, I do.
Winthrop, have the janitor come up
and break a window.
Things are certainly getting hot.
- Oh, they certainly are.
Miss Phelps, I'm turning down all offers
to take your case. After all, you're a woman.
You are a woman, aren't you?
Tell me, what would you want
to handle this case for me? - $ 20.000.
Don't you think that's too much? - Of course.
Only a cheap chiseler would ask that much.
I was prepared to pay $ 500.
- Oddly enough, I'm prepared to take it.
Shall we bind the deal
with a kiss or $ 5 in cash?
You lose either way.
- There you are.
That's fine.
Now, let's get to the bottom of...
Let's get to the bottom of this, eh?
Now, tell me everything.
As you were saying?
- Look, what's this?
Camouflage. A precaution
I must take for my life.
Every gangster in town
would like to do away with me,
but we'll outwit them. We'll leave
under cover of my private smoke screen.
There goes my breakfast.
One more important thing,
Mr. Flywheel.
Nobody at the store, not even Tommy,
must know that you're a detective.
You're safe. I've kept it
a secret for years.
This is a gift from a grateful client.
- Indeed? Well.
They hung him last year.
That's strange. I could have sworn
I shaved this morning.
My car will be here in a moment. - Nonsense.
We'll take my car. Speed is imperative.
Quaint, isn't it?
- Demonstrator's model.
I've been trying to make up my mind
for years whether to buy this car or not.
My man will be along shortly.
Oh, my.
Oh, dear.
I had that seat built below window
level. Makes me safe from bullets.
How ingenious.
Take my seat. It's more comfortable.
- Thank you.
To the Phelps department store,
and make it snappy.
That settles it. I'm not buying this car.
Fix the door and take it back.
My veil. My veil.
Oh, dear.
Foreign cars are worthless.
- Oh, what a trip.
Hey, wait a minute,
You'll have to fix that door someplace,
