What happens when Blackie and Mary Wesley board the night boat?
21, 22. Here's my cabin, Blackie.
Hmm, not very far from mine. Open the door, will you, Mary? I have my arms full of luggage.
Lucky luggage. Oh, very well, Porter. Put my luggage at the foot of the bed.
Oh, so now I'm a porter. I'll put it where you want it, Lardy.
How is the body of Charlotte Aiken discovered?
Oh, fine, fine. That will be all, Porter. At the foot of the bed, please.
It's very apparent, Lardy, that you've never been to sea. We seafarers call a bed a bunk.
Well, it's a lot of bed.
It's a lot of bunk.
Oh.
Say, I should have my reservation at the last minute, too. The walls of my cabin are so close together, they practically press my pants.
What leads Inspector Faraday to suspect Blackie?
Well, Blackie, that's strange. This looks like a double cabin.
Well, strange. It should look like a double cabin when it is a double cabin. But don't think you have to sleep in both bunks just to get your money's worth.
I'll remember that. Will this be a long trip?
No, just overnight. We get to Westfield in the morning, and then we'll have some fun.
I thought you were making this a business trip for Charlie Kingston's.
Who is Martha Vale and what is her connection to the case?
It is, but business for Charlie always leaves time fun. So I thought this black suitcase was too heavy to belong to you.
Oh, Blackie, that isn't mine. You must have left one of mine in your cabin.
Oh, this is Charlie's suitcase, full of bonds. Well, I'll take it back to my cabin because you might pull the handle of it.
Why shouldn't I?
It's tear gas. And then... I'd cry for you.
It would take tear gas to make you cry for anything.
What clues suggest smuggling is involved in the murder?
Ha, ha, ha.
Well, which bunk should I sleep in tonight? The lower or the upper?
I don't know. Let's see which one is softer.
Mmm, the lower one's lovely. Now let's see about the one on top.
Um, Mary, I think you'd better sleep in the lower bunk regardless.
Why?
It'll be a little crowded in the upper bunk.
How does Blackie deduce the timeline of events leading to the murder?
You have a cabin mate. But I don't think she'll disturb you much. She's dead.
Ah!
Now here's Richard Calmer's Boston Blackie. Enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend.
Well, Blackie, no matter where you go, you find a body, don't you?
Isn't it the most annoying habit, Inspector Faraday? Hurry and solve this case, will you? The ship is already 30 minutes late pulling out.
What shocking revelation does Blackie uncover about the killer's identity?
So what?
So are you going to Westfield with us? No, and this boat isn't going... Faraday, this is a ship.
Ship, sloop, raft, canoe, or a kayak. It's not leaving this dock till I found that woman's killer.
Who was that woman, Faraday? I don't know yet. We should have asked her before the coroner took her away. Why did you kill her, Blackie?
Inspector, may I say something?
How does the episode conclude with the resolution of the mystery?
No.
Well, I will. Blackie had nothing to do with it. I was with him when he found the body.
Well, that's no help to Blackie in my book.
Oh, golly, Blackie, this is all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to go to Westfield with you, you wouldn't have reserved this stateroom for me.
Don't feel badly about it, Mary. If you hadn't taken this room, we wouldn't have found the body, Faraday wouldn't be here, and we'd be missing all this fun.
Frankie, look, there's a man's face in the porthole.
Hey, you, what do you want? He's gone. Come on, let's go out on deck and head him off.
Well, that was certainly a false alarm, Miss Wesley. But, Inspector, how did I know he wasn't snooping?
Well, he wasn't.
First mate said he was trying to repair a broken guy wire or something. Or something, Inspector? You should have followed that up.
He told me what it was, but I don't understand this seagoing lingo. Well, let's get out of here. Just sit still, you two. The captain will be here in a minute.
Oh, Blackie, what's this under the captain's chair? There's something just like it on the wall in my cabin.
There's one in every cabin, Mary. It's a life raft. Who are you trying to kid, Blackie? It looks like a rolled up inner tube with a tube of toothpaste attached to it. That thing wouldn't float a midget. It'll float a couple of people, Faraday. It's a collapsible life raft.
What do you have to do? Unfold it and blow it up?
Oh, no, Mary. Press that little button on top of that tube there, and in about two seconds you'll have a raft about twice as big as the top of the captain's desk and one half the size of Faraday's head.
