A Man Betrayed Page #5

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.

he can't even see the house.

Well, I guess that leaves me a damsel in

distress

I'd like to take you where you

wanna go.

Oh I wouldn't want you to do that.

It seems a shame to let you sit here

alone when you're so all dressed up.

Oh just a little something that Cat

Reilly threw together between errands.

For a lady under fire,

she didn't do bad.

- My wrap please, George.

- Yes, ma'am.

Shall we go?

Well I hope you don't mind my getup.

Oh no.

I almost had a tux made on purpose once.

When Cousin Ally counted on getting

married.

But although Cal's draft number didn't

come up the joined the army anyway.

A piece of beefsteak

would help that eye.

Beefsteaks? I never. I am a vegetarian.

Looks like you got nothing to lose but a

daughter now.

Seedy bloke.

She ought to have his hair cut.

A lady cut Samson's hair.

And if I know my daughter,

history will repeat itself.

Where are we supposed to go?

How about the Union Station?

Too big.

All right. You name it.

I'd like to go to a place

called the Club Inferno.

You are starting off the hard way.

Well that's the last word.

Yeah.

- Good evening.

- Howdy.

When they pinch you in this

town, they do in a big way.

Hadn't you better pull over to the

curb while they're still polite.

That's my escort.

My father has them follow

me everywhere I go.

It's loads of fun.

Compared to you, a goldfish is a hermit.

Looks like the fella who owns this

place knows where he's heading.

Wants to get in the mood.

I sure do know where I was heading.

Good evening, Miss Cameron.

So nice to have you with us some more.

- How's your father?

- Fine thanks.

Mr. Amato,. Mr. Hollister

when he gets up.

How do you do?

Can I check this for you?

No thanks. I'll just keep it with me.

Montgomery.

Give Miss Cameron the

best table in the house.

Gee, she's pretty.

Yeah. But there but there's

something phony about that fellow.

He can look you straight in the eye.

Good evening.

One of our debs.

She's coming out next week.

She may be coming out but

she ain't going any place.

I know.

You must know everyone.

Yes.

It isn't mutual.

There's so much petty envy

and jealousy in politics.

People resent my father because he's

so much smarter than anyone else.

I wouldn't know.

It took two fires and a cyclone to

get me outta school.

Please, may I have your order?

Frank 75.

- Ever drink one.

- No.

But I shot one on the courthouse lawn.

It gave me an awful kick.

Same idea.

What's your pleasure?

Throwing eggs at an electric fan.

But that's out a season so

just give me a cup a coffee.

Are you being taken

care of, Miss Cameron?

Yes.

You should feel flattered.

This is Mr. Hollister's
