Old Time Detectives

Boston Blackie - Amnesia Victim

24 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What happens when Arthur Burke wakes up with amnesia?

14.324 - 29.559 Unknown

Well, Arthur, there's nothing seriously wrong with you. Nothing wrong that a little rest won't cure.

0

30.439 - 41.43 Arthur Burke

Oh, that's relief. Thanks, Doctor. Must feel pretty good to be home again. Pretty good's hardly strong enough. Say, Dr. Martin, is there any chance of another attack of amnesia creeping up on me when I'm not looking?

0

42.271 - 42.711 Inspector Faraday

I doubt it.

0

43.889 - 57.048 Arthur Burke

You have no idea where you've been for the last three weeks? No, no, I haven't. All I know is I woke up this morning in this strange office with a lump on my head and a desire to get back home as quickly as I could.

0

57.069 - 65.962 Unknown

I've got to go now, but I wish you'd realize there's no point in worrying about the past three weeks. They're a blank. Let them stay that way. Goodbye, Arthur.

Chapter 2: How does Arthur Burke connect to the murder of George Digby?

66.603 - 70.909 Unknown

Please remember what I said about relaxing. I'll try, Dr. Moylan. Goodbye.

0

72.863 - 84.735 Arthur Burke

I've got to find out. Hello? Hello. Is this Boston Blackie?

0

85.015 - 85.115 Boston Blackie

Yes.

0

85.476 - 90.08 Arthur Burke

Well, Blackie, this is Arthur Burke. You've helped a lot of people, but never anyone as desperate as I am.

0

90.1 - 90.621 Boston Blackie

What's the trouble, Burke?

91.301 - 94.725 Arthur Burke

You've seen the papers this morning with the story of the murder of George Digby?

94.745 - 99.89 Boston Blackie

Yes, of course. My friend Faraday is probably up to his ears in errors trying to find the murderer right now.

99.91 - 101.892 Arthur Burke

Well, I'd like to come over and talk to you, Blackie.

Chapter 3: What role does Boston Blackie play in Arthur's predicament?

102.513 - 108.843 Arthur Burke

You see, I think I'm the one the party is looking for.

0

113.07 - 126.411 Unknown

It's summer money time. Yes, it's summer money time. Come to Beneficial now. It's summer money time.

0

127.37 - 146.979 Dick Calmer

Right now, it's summer money time at Beneficial Finance Company. Get the cash you want for a wonderful vacation, to clean up leftover bills, or for any good reason. You'll find the service just a little faster, just a little friendlier. And you get this beneficial extra, your own international credit card. Good for cash wherever you go.

0

147.3 - 158.754 Unknown

Cash, just say the word, you're the boss. At Beneficial, where it's summer money time.

0

161.478 - 168.109 Dick Calmer

Now here's Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to those who make him an enemy. Friend to those who have no friends.

Chapter 4: What clues lead to the suspicion of Tom Roach?

169.27 - 174.478 Mary Wesley

Just a minute.

0

174.498 - 213.03 Unknown

Just a minute. Want to wait in the other room, Mary? I'll get you a magazine. Oh, no, don't bother. I'd rather stay. Why read about adventure when you can be in on it, I always say. Hold everything, honey. Hello there. Oh, I'm Arthur Burke, Blackie. I phoned you a while ago. I've been expecting you. Come in, Burke. Thank you. This is Mary Wesley, Burke.

0

Chapter 5: How does Janet Carey become involved in the investigation?

213.171 - 224.342 Unknown

How do you do, Miss Wesley? How do you do? Sit over there and let's have this story of yours. Thank you. Oh, Blackie, you've heard of George Pickett? I guess everybody has. He headed a reform group that was really getting some action in this town.

0

224.482 - 227.918 Arthur Burke

Yes, sir. Well, he was murdered in his office sometime last night.

0

227.999 - 228.859 Unknown

So the papers say.

0

229.34 - 233.223 Arthur Burke

Well, could he have been shot with a .38 automatic?

0

233.243 - 234.844 Unknown

He not only could have been, he was.

236.386 - 238.407 Arthur Burke

Oh. Could he have been shot with this .38 automatic?

239.689 - 240.689 Unknown

Where'd you get that gun, Rick?

Chapter 6: What discoveries are made in Janet Carey's hotel room?

241.39 - 242.951 Arthur Burke

I picked it up at George Digby's office.

0

243.071 - 253.901 Unknown

It was lying near his body. What were you doing in Digby's office? I haven't the slightest idea. Um, I don't like to interrupt, but how can that be? Oh, I can't account for anything I've done for three weeks.

0

253.981 - 255.488 Arthur Burke

I... At amnesia.

0

255.848 - 256.489 Boston Blackie

What brought you out of it?

0

257.049 - 264.977 Arthur Burke

Well, I guess the bump on my head somebody left with me as a souvenir. All I know is when I woke up, I had it, and I was in Digby's office.

264.997 - 268.26 Unknown

I see. But listen, Burke, why come to me? Why don't you go to the police?

268.36 - 268.901 Arthur Burke

How can I?

Chapter 7: How do Blackie and Faraday piece together the murder mystery?

269.461 - 273.625 Arthur Burke

I want to make sure I did kill Digby, or preferably that I didn't before I turned myself in.

0

274.346 - 280.412 Unknown

Well, that's understandable. And you want me to find out exactly what happened? Yes, yes, I do. I'll get a blanket. Sure, if you like, Mary.

0

281.59 - 285.355 Janet Carey

Hello? Hello, I'd like to speak to Boston Blackie, please.

0

285.716 - 292.064 Unknown

Oh, just a minute. Blackie, it's for you. Hey, excuse me. I'll take one, Mary. Here you are. Hello.

0

292.685 - 293.646 Janet Carey

Boston Blackie?

Chapter 8: What shocking revelations are made about the true murderer?

293.666 - 293.807 Unknown

Yes?

0

294.508 - 297.912 Janet Carey

How would you like to know who killed George Digby?

0

297.932 - 298.974 Unknown

Well, how would you like to tell me?

0

299.474 - 302.919 Janet Carey

In my own way. Here in my apartment at the Ocean Hotel.

0

303.28 - 304.621 Unknown

What's your name, honey child?

304.982 - 309.488 Janet Carey

Janet Carey. And I'll name Digby's murderer for you when you get here.

309.991 - 324.966 Unknown

Okay, only it's only fair to tell you that in mystery stories, when a witness asks somebody to come to her apartment so she can name the killer, she invariably turns up dead. Well, I'm not worried. Well, uh, how about just a hint, just in case this mystery runs true to form?

325.406 - 331.913 Janet Carey

You want a hint? All right. How about if I told you that I killed Digby?

337.018 - 337.078

Oh!
