[Newsreel Narrator]

The nation this week mourns

the death ofJosiah Waring,

world-famous ship magnate,

here seen in his last

public appearance.

Josiah Waring,

whose rise from steeplejack

to head of a great

industrial empire...

was terminated when he fell

to his death from a stepladder

at his Long Island estate.

That's him!

Here we see him...

at the launching of a few

of the hundreds of vessels

built by the Waring shipyards.

Passenger liners, destroyers,

freighters, tankers.

Mr. Morgan, that's the man...

Oh, excuse me.

Now, stop this!

Look here!

Oh, please!

That's the man...

Sit down!

That's the man

I saw murdered.

Josiah Waring

died on Long Island.

They could've carried

the body there.

It was in all the papers.

He fell off a stepladder.

It could've been a crowbar.

We've got to investigate.

- Shh!

- I've had enough!

Sit down, will ya?

Shh!

Shh!

Mr. Morgan!

But, Joyce, I never saw her

before in my life.

Mr. Morgan, wait a minute!

This was his home

on Long Island, the Willows,

the only newsreel shot

ever taken of this

magnificent estate.

Beyond this fence,

in utter seclusion...

[Vehicle Approaching]

Good evening,

Mr. Waring.

What's the matter

with them?

I don't know.

Duke! Spike!

[Exhales Deeply]

[Waring]

Duke, Spike.!

Come here. Come here.

Come here.

Come right here... boy.

A fine way to receive...

guests.

They were just playing.

They like pretty girls.

[Whimpering]

Their father

must've been part wolf.

[Barking]

Say, how did you get...

There's no need to apologize.

Of course you're sorry.

[Dogs Snarling, Barking]

You should be. These dogs are

vicious. They're dangerous!

Why didn't somebody tell me

about them when I came through

that gate over... there? And...

I'll bet I know

who you are.

Oh, you do?

You're Margo Martin,

right?

You sing at

the Circus, right?

And you're here tonight

because you think...

[Barking]

...UncleJosiah's

fortune, right?

Are you worried,

Miss Martin?

Oh, uh, the dogs.

Danny! Call the dogs.

[Whistles]

You see?

Nothing to it.

You think I'd be used to

animals... from the circus.

They have animals there?

Oh, yes.

At a nightclub?

Oh, it's a...

Oh, well, yes, yes.

The, uh...

The head waiter has a...

Put them back in their kennel.

And the next time

you let them out...

I didn't let them out,
