How did you get here?

I got into the back of the trailer

when you were leaving.

The question now is,

how do l get back to Midvale?

Oh, l got an idea.

You two drive to the place

where l parked my station wagon.

We'll ride back in the trailer.

Come on, baby. l'll explain everything

to you in words of one syllable.

No wonder

he wanted to go back to Midvale.

- Why?

- Well, because the girl lives there and...

Never mind why!

Look, you're doing 70 miles an hour.

I'm not doing 70 miles an hour.

I'm not even doing 50 miles an hour.

In fact, l'm not even doing

35 miles an hour.

- Well, it says there 70.

- That speedometer's stuck.

Oh, l'm sorry. l didn't know.

Why don't you look

where you're going.

- L'll get it.

- Thank you.

- Hey, what's this?

- Lt's a picture taken...

when Mother put through

a real-estate deal on our property.

- Your folks got money?

- L've a rich aunt in Boston.

She bought the property for Mother.

What kind of a deal was this?

Mother puts in her property

in $ 1 0,000...

and the eastern financiers

put in 1 5,000.

L've seen one of those faces.

Around a racetrack.

Louisville, a horseplayer

named "One Horse" Bates.

You might let me in on this.

Honey, l'm afraid

your poor old gray-haired mother...

has been sadly gypped.

There's my car, baby, hop in.

I gotta go up and see the Rover boys.

Boys, l gotta drive this girl

back to Midvale.

- Back to Midvale?

- Lsn't there any other way?

There's more. From what she tells me,

her mother was gypped out of $ 1 0,000.

- That's a lot of dough.

- Yeah, a lot of money too.

It's worth going after.

Now, l have a hunch who the gang is.

- L'm gonna try and get it back.

- You're a swell guy...

- to try and get that money back.

- Yes, anything we can do to help...

l knew l could count on you.

Stay on this route

and l'll catch you before long.

- Righto.

- Okey-dokey.

Stanley, do you believe

in love at first sight?

Well, it saves a lot of time.

Mr. Cass,

this gentleman seems to think...

that Mother has been swindled

in the land deal.

This is Mr...

- l don't even know your name.

- We never got around to that.

- Wright. Chester Wright.

- L'm very glad to meet you, sir.

Though l'm quite certain that you're

mistaken. The money is in my safe.

Yeah? Ten will get you 20 that it isn't.

And a Wright is never wrong.

Mr. Wright, l hope you're wrong.

There, you see, and the signatures.

Just as l put it into my safe, Mr. Wright.

Oh, sure, sure.

Now, who's gonna open it?

Why, l think Miss Cowan

should open it...

since she will someday

be the owner of the property.

Why, l don't understand it.

I put that money in the envelope
