you've never seen, Ross.

That no magician has ever dared to try.

But I can't do it alone.

You've got to help me.

In fact, you'll be the star.

great, the magician extraordinary.

Who is it?

It's Karen.

One moment, please.

Hello, don. Ls Alan here?

No. He couldn't wait.

He had an appointment.

Oh, dear. I know I'm late,

but I couldn't help it.

I got a job today,

working at Siegel-Cooper's store.

Oh. Alan said he would meet you

at Tony's restaurant at 6:00.

It's almost that now.

Karen, I want to make you out a check

for the time you spent in rehearsal

and two weeks' salary in addition.

Oh, well, forget it, don.

I know what this thing has cost you.

No, I want you to have your money,

the same as the others.

If there's any change in my plans,

I'll let you know.

Look, don, why don't you

come to dinner with us tonight?

It'll do you good.

No, thanks, Karen,

but I have something else to do.

Good night, Karen.

Good night, don.

Illusions, incorporated.

Yes, this is Mr. gallico.

Who is this, please?

Dean's Van and storage?

Yes, I have a consignment for Mr. Rinaldi.

I'll be here tonight.

I'll have it ready for you.

Karen.

- Hello there.

- Hello.

Don, you changed your mind.

Karen, you left your bag at the studio

and took mine by mistake.

There's something in my bag

that's very, very valuable. Where is it?

Oh. don, I...

What's the matter?

What have you done with it?

I left it in the cab.

In a cab?

Do you remember the driver?

No, it was just a hansom cab.

It's all right. The driver

will turn it over to the police.

Waiter, bring my check.

- Did you bring a young lady

to this restaurant? - Nope.

- How long have you been here?

- About a quarter of an hour.

Did you see a hansom cab

leave a young woman here?

Nope.

- Did you?

- Nope.

I did.

- That was ed Burke's rig.

- Where did Burke go?

He picked up a couple who wanted

to take a turn through the park.

- Go after him. If you find him,

I'll double that. - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Hey! Ed! Pull up a minute.

Whoa.

Are you the driver who dropped this

young lady in Tony's restaurant?

- Yep.

- She left a black leather bag in your cab.

- She sure did.

- Well, that bag belongs to me.

There's nothing to worry about, mister.

I gave it to a cop.

- You gave it to a cop?

- Yeah, a cop.

The cop at the kiosk, back at Van
