plumber's daughter,
always a plumber's daughter.
There ain't an ounce of
brains in your family.
Peter Warne, you've gone far enough!
-Shut up!
-You see what you've done?
Sorry, but you see,
we've gotta check up on everybody.
We're looking for a girl
named Ellen Andrews.
Daughter of that big Wall Street mogul.
Too bad you're not looking for
a plumber's daughter.
Quit bawling!
l told you they were a perfectly
nice married couple.
You weren't bad, jumping in like that.
-You've got a brain.
-You're not so bad, yourself.
We could start a two-people
stock company.
Things get tough,
we'll play to small town auditoriums.
We'll call this one, ''The Great Deception.''
What about ''Cinderella'' or
a real hot love story?
No, too mushy.
l like mushy stuff.
Quit bawling!
Bus leaves in five minutes!
-What?
-Your bus leaves in five minutes.
Holy smoke, we're not even packed yet.
l'm starting to think
you couldn't find your way home.
This is the last session....
-Yeah?
-Telegram for you.
-Bring it in.
-Another wire from Peter Warne.
Warne? Throw it in the wastebasket.
Wait a minute. What does it say?
''Have l got a story. Stop.
lt's getting hotter and hotter. Stop.
''Hope you're the same.''
-Collect?
-Yes.
-lf you accept another one, you're fired.
-Yes, sir.
And that gives me an idea for all of you.
l want action, Lovington, action.
-We can't do the impossible.
-lt isn't impossible.
She's somewhere between here and Miami.
l want her found.
-l put extra men on, the whole way.
-That's not enough.
Send in Clark and Brown.
-You sure she isn't with King Westley?
-No.
He's being trailed 24 hours a day.
He can't even get a phone call
we don't know about.
l'm worried. After all,
something might have happened to her.
l don't think so.
Brown, arrange a radio broadcast.
Coast-to-coast hook up.
Offer a reward of...
...$10,000 for information
on her whereabouts.
Clark, send the story
to all of the newspapers.
Some out-of-town papers
may not have a picture of her.
Wire this to them.
l want the story to break right away.
Now we'll get some action!
Fine, that's fine.
You know that one
about the man who flew on the trapeze?
Yeah.
''Once l was happy
but now l'm forlorn
''Like an old coat
that is tattered and torn
''Left in this wide world
to weep and to mourn
''Betrayed by a maid in her teens
''This maid that l loved
she was handsome
''And l tried all l knew how to please
''But l never could please her
one-quarter so well
''As the man on the flying trapeze
''He flies through the air
with the greatest of ease
''The daring young man
on the flying trapeze
''His actions are graceful,
all the girls he does please
''And my love he has stolen away''
l know the second verse there.
''Now he'd play with a miss
like a cat with a mouse
''His eyes would undress
every girl in the house
''Perhaps he is better described as a louse
And still people came just the same
''Now he smiles from the bar
on the people below
''And one night he smiled on my love
''She blew him a kiss
''And she hollered bravo
And he hung by his schnozzle from above
''He floats through the air
with the greatest of ease
''Daring young man on the flying trapeze
His actions are graceful
''All the girls he does please
And my love he has stolen away''
Do you mind if l take the third one?
''l wept and l whimpered
l simpered for weeks
''While she spent her time
with the circus' freaks
''The tears were like hailstones
that rolled down my cheeks
''Alas, Alack and Alaska
''l went to this fellow
the villain, and l said
''l'll see that you get your deserts
''His thumb to his nose
he put up with a sneer
''He sneered once again and said no
''He flies through the air
with the greatest of ease
''That daring young man
on the flying trapeze
''His actions are graceful
The girls he does please
''My love he has stolen away''
-Everybody keep your seats.
-Thank the man for me, Peter.
