and sealed it.

It was never out of my sight

until l put it into the safe.

He's even used a copy

of the Daily Planet.

He never dropped it on the floor?

Yes, now that l think of it,

but he initialed it...

before he dropped it.

And the initials were still there.

Why, of course.

That's known as the old convincer.

The phony envelope was initialed

before he came in.

I'm going down

to tell the chief of police.

L'd like to break their necks.

I only hope

the police catch up with them.

What good would that do?

Even if the police arrested them...

they'd only spend the money

on lawyers to defend them.

Then if you win, you lose.

Maybe, but l've been thinking.

I'm going after that money.

What do you mean?

Well...

money lost through larceny

can often be recovered the same way.

Remember l told you l recognized

one of those faces, a horseplayer?

Well, what track opens next week?

New Orleans.

- And that's where l'm heading.

- Fine, l'll go along with you.

You know, if we hadn't

have run out of gas on the desert...

Chester would have

never gone to Midvale...

and he would never have met her.

And now he's going to recover

her money.

To her, he's a real hepcat.

Right in the groove.

And they'll fall in love...

get married.

And live in a cottage

bowered with roses.

A country estate.

You know, we could work for them...

and we could live in peace

and contentment.

You paint a pretty picture, Stanley.

They could name

their first baby Stanley.

What's the matter with Oliver?

Stanley's a nice name.

Oliver.

Well, they could have twins.

We'll suggest that to them.

- What's my point, baby?

- Six.

You know you always

shoot sixes, Corky.

My name is Colonel Watterson Bixby

of Leaping Frog, Amarillo County, Texas.

How do you do, colonel? We've assigned

the governor's suite to your party.

- L hope you'll like it.

- You all are most kind, sir.

Okay, there's your 2 bits.

If l keep on playing this game,

you'll be wearing mink.

This is my secretary,

Mr. Chester Wright...

and this is my butler, valet

and general factotum, Potts.

Carry those bags upstairs,

and don't take no for an answer.

Yes, sir.

I have some valuables

l'd like to entrust to your care, sir.

This one contains $20,000

in currency.

And this, some very valuable

contracts and documents.

They'll be perfectly safe, l assure you.

Just a moment, l'll give you a receipt.

My, what a pretty little girl.

How do you do, miss? Let me see.

I don't remember your name,

but l know we've met.

There goes the colonel again.

And he's got the most jealous wife

in the whole state of Texas.

That's Corcoran,

one of the men at the desk.

Yeah, l recognized him
