Union Station Page #4

Synopsis: Secretary Joyce Willecombe grows suspicious of two men boarding her train and is referred to 'Tough Willy' Calhoun, head of the Union Station police. The all-seeing, no-nonsense Calhoun is initially skeptical, but the men (who escape) prove to be involved in a kidnap case. Calhoun calls in equally tough police Inspector Donnelly, but the ruthless kidnapper's precision planning stays one jump ahead of them. Most of the action centers around bustling Union Station.

recognize the kidnapper.

Yourself, Miss Willecombe...

Eddie Shattuck here...

and Skelly the conductor.

If he makes contact we'll all know him,

and this time we won't lose him!

The way a man like him figures,

he'll send the driver.

Nobody knows him.

I think he's the one taking

care of the girl.

Why, Calhoun? What makes you think

anyone is taking care of her?

I wouldn't be lifting a finger,

not one finger,

if I could make myself believe

that girl's alive.

I don't believe it.

Not ten minutes after they took her.

Okay! Okay, Calhoun.

Let's just say it's your station.

Now, how do we lay it out?

I want a man to cover every exit

and every entrance.

Fay, you stick with the girl.

Stein, you stay by the

station announcer.

Eddie, you station yourself by

the main information booth.

We're all set.

All right, Mr Murchison.

They're ready downstairs if you are.

- Inspector, please...

- I know. We won't. I gave me word.

We watch and wait.

Well, what do you know?

Saturday night and no date!

Now, that's a fine predicament

to be in, isn't it? -Please!

Where will we go, honey?

Drink? Dinner? The movies?

- You just say the word and we'll do it!

- Don't. Please go away!

Aw, come on. You can be more sociable

than that? Let's... -Get out of here!

What is this?

- I'm telling you, stupid. Get out of here!

- Okay...

Looks like they're not gonna show up.

We wait.

What's the matter with everybody?

You in a hurry to go someplace?

Telegram for Mr Henry Murchinson!

Telegram for Mr Henry Murchinson!

Here boy!

They're using a messenger.

Paging him with a telegram.

Crumple it and put it in your pocket.

Oh, excuse me. I'm awfully sorry.

- Is the number 10 on time?

- Yes it is.

They want him in the main concourse at

a phone booth behind the newsstand.

It has an "Out of Order"

sign on the booth.

Now, you can see it from my office.

I'm gonna beat him over there.

Okay. They made contact!

Tell everyone to move in!

- Track 14 signal.

- Right!

Track 14 signal.

Attention please...

F.E. Nelson, wanted on Track 14.

Mr F.E. Nelson, go to Track 14.

Stay where you are, Miss.

- Porter!

- I'm busy, Ma'am?

Wait five minutes. That'll give you

enough time to get to the station.

Her old man's playing ball, Joe.

You just saw that.

What's the sense of my smellin' around,

maybe walkin' into something?

I want to be sure the cops aren't

in on it too, what's the matter?

- You had the shakes ever since it started.

- No wonder...

What about Gus? We haven't heard from

him since this morning. What happened?

Two of a kind. The shake

and shiver boys.

Penny ante jerk, you and Gus,

you run out now you'll get out.
