A Man Betrayed Page #4

Synopsis: Country lawyer Lynn Hollister comes to the city to investigate the murder of a friend found shot after spending the evening in The Inferno, a night club that fronts for an illicit gambling operation. It is covertly run by an affable but corrupt politician, 'Boss' Tom Cameron, who uses voter fraud to maintain influence on city hall and the governor's mansion. Hollister learns that his friend was a winner in a dice game on the night of the murder and threatened exposure of Cameron's vice racket. Complications arise when other underworld forces vie to take over Cameron's operation, and Holister falls in love with Cameron's beautiful daughter.

tonic your mother talked about.

And made me take.

You've trying to flatter me.

I like that.

In case of emergency, break the glass.

You've changed, Sabra.

You've sort of grown-up.

You've done all right too.

You're a regular Beau Brummel.

Who's this Beau Brummel?

I know Bo Schultz and Bo Boratsky.

But I don't know no Beau Brummel.

Pardon me, sir.

Will you please send my mail

to the butler, sir?

What's this?

My resignation, sir.

Where was the fight?

At the door.

There's a Mr. Lynn Hollister

in the library.

He said not to hurry.

Just so he gets back to Spring Valley

in time to color his Easter eggs.

Spring Valley?

That jack rig.

Slim says he's in town.

But I didn't think he'd have

nerve enough to show here.

What is all this?

Who's George's pugilistic friend?

Oh a big fella. A little lawyer.

Not just some rube trying to

put the beat on your father for a job.

Don't tell me you're still being

bothered by every Tom Hick and Harry.

Everybody has to start by knocking on

some door.

But they don't have to break them down.

Look.

Kid's against us.

A new sable.

I'll not only get him out of house

but send him back to Spring Valley.

I'll take that bet.

Sorry this is a family affair.

As head of my family

I'll take care of Mr. Hollister.

Now darling.

He may be a sensation in the

conference.

But you don't need brains

under soft lights.

Now you just relax.

And watch second-generation

Cameron go to work.

Morrie.

Try a cigar from that box.

You know I don't smoke.

I said have a cigar.

I get it.

What the-

Oh.

You derailed them.

Sorry. I only wanted to make you detour.

Well, I thought it was that

anti-social butler, ma'am.

Miss.

Sabra Cameron and I'll call you Lynn.

Sure got introduced in a hurry.

I must look awfully silly down here.

Yes you do.

Well, I'll get up.

You and father should get together.

Well that was my idea.

This is not only his hobby

but his pride and joy.

Way back somewhere he started

out to be an engineer but-

Yeah?

Well I wanted to be one too but

somebody willed mama a

set of law books so.

I took up law.

You know uh...

You're just what I expected.

You got me there.

I didn't know what to expect.

Jimmy told me all about you.

Jimmy?

Yes he's always falling off

those polo ponies of his.

It is sweet of you to take

me out for him tonight.

Me?

Well there must be some mistake.

I know a Jimmy back home.

But he wouldn't be falling

off any polo ponies.

Because all he's got as an old car with

a lotta

corny wise cracks written all over it.

No I came to see your father.

While personally I'd like to

be the other fella, I'm not.

Dear father isn't home.

My blind date must be so blind
