07 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What conflict does Larry the Kid face before the fight?

0.031 - 33.935 Unknown

Hey, kids! There's a guy here to see you. Tell him I'm busy punching this bag.

0

36.237 - 38.259 Boston Blackie

You're not too busy to see me, kid.

0

38.279 - 40.461 Unknown

No? Well, that's what you think.

0

40.741 - 44.805 Boston Blackie

That's what I know. Stop punching that bag, kid. I want to talk to you.

0

45.205 - 47.207 Unknown

Get lost, will you?

47.227 - 53.313 Boston Blackie

I leave without talking to you. It might cost you plenty, kid. Still want me to go?

54.714 - 55.915 Larry The Kid

What, just about costing me plenty?

56.376 - 58.017 Boston Blackie

I thought that would change your mind.

Chapter 2: How does Blackie respond to Larry's dilemma?

59.465 - 66.832 Boston Blackie

Kid, you fight Savini Friday night in the arena. Right? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you look good, kid. Look like you're in shape.

0

67.112 - 68.373 Larry The Kid

Never mind about me. What about you?

0

68.974 - 80.505 Boston Blackie

Who are you? What do you want? Me? I'm just a nice, quiet guy that wants to make you a present. That's who I am. A present of 10,000 clams. Yeah? What's the gimmick?

0

Chapter 3: What offer does Larry receive and how does he react?

80.525 - 87.852 Boston Blackie

Nothing. Huh? Nothing very tough, that is. All you've got to do is let Savini cop the Duke Friday night.

0

88.152 - 91.256 Larry The Kid

What, you want me to throw the fight? You're out of your mind. Now get out of here and stay out.

0

91.617 - 92.138 Boston Blackie

Go ahead, beat it.

0

92.158 - 92.819 Larry The Kid

I got work to do.

0

92.839 - 102.913 Boston Blackie

Work can wait, kid. Well, beat it. And don't get right-hand happy with me. It just ain't right to slug a guy who offers you 10,000 bucks. I said beat it, didn't I? Yeah, yeah, you did.

Chapter 4: What plan does Blackie suggest to Larry regarding the police?

103.755 - 123.428 Boston Blackie

But maybe you didn't understand what I said before. I heard you and you heard me. Sure, sure. But I still think you're going to let Savini win Friday night. Are you crazy? Uh-uh. But you are if you don't do like I say. Savini, Friday night. I told you to take a powder, mister. There better be plenty doing.

0

124.469 - 155.482 Boston Blackie

Better let Savini drop you, kid, or you may get dropped by something a little more permanent than a punch. And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie, enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friends. Sorry to have to drag you up to my apartment, Mary, but I have to get that report to Kingston in the mail right away.

0

155.663 - 160.209 Mary

Just what would Charlie Kingston do without you, Blackie? Go broke?

0

Chapter 5: How does Inspector Faraday get involved in the case?

160.229 - 162.672 Boston Blackie

Oh, he'd get someone else to run it. Uh-oh, there's the telephone.

0

162.772 - 165.376 Mary

And I know why it's ringing, too. Somebody's in trouble.

0

165.916 - 167.659 Boston Blackie

Oh, now, Mary, not every phone call means trouble.

0

167.719 - 169.481 Mary

Can you remember one that didn't?

0

169.501 - 176.027 Boston Blackie

Sure, the last time you called me. But maybe you're right at that. Blackie. Hello.

176.067 - 177.029 Larry The Kid

Boston, Blackie, please.

177.089 - 177.549 Boston Blackie

Speaking.

177.91 - 179.131 Larry The Kid

Blackie, this is Larry Dawes.

179.552 - 179.692 Boston Blackie

Who?

Chapter 6: What happens during the fight between Savini and Johnson?

180.893 - 182.075 Larry The Kid

The sportswriters call me the kid.

0

182.656 - 183.196 Boston Blackie

Oh, the kid.

0

183.276 - 183.557 Larry The Kid

Yeah.

0

183.697 - 202.408 Boston Blackie

You're fighting in the arena this Friday, aren't you? I don't know. I'm supposed to, but something's come up. I don't know what to do. What do you mean? Blackie, this morning a guy offered me $10,000 to let Savini win Friday night. What did you tell him? I told him to get lost, and then he threatened me. And look, I'm not afraid of a right to the jaw, but I can't out-punch a bullet. What'll I do?

0

202.428 - 206.712 Boston Blackie

Go to the police and fast. But that's asking for more trouble than I've already got, isn't it?

Chapter 7: How does the betting ring get exposed?

206.732 - 211.876 Boston Blackie

No. You go to the police and leave the rest to them and to me. Look, do you know this guy's name?

0

212.517 - 214.679 Unknown

No, no, I don't. Oh, you said he'd contact me.

0

214.699 - 230.293 Boston Blackie

Good. After you've seen the police and this guy gets in touch with you, arrange to meet him in your room. And from there on, don't worry about anything but putting Savini down for the count.

0

230.864 - 239.037 Larry The Kid

Here anything in the kid's room yet, Barney? No, nothing yet, Inspector Faraday. You sure the dictaphone is working? Oh, sure, sure. It's working all right. We tested it. It's 100%.

0

Chapter 8: What is the resolution of the conflict by the end of the episode?

239.357 - 240.92 Larry The Kid

Well, we ought to hear something soon, then.

0

241.601 - 243.303 Boston Blackie

You better give me a set of earphones, too.

0

243.343 - 244.485 Larry The Kid

Yeah. Here you are.

0

245.887 - 249.914 Boston Blackie

There. Oh, hi. Come in. She heard it?

0

250.134 - 250.975 Larry The Kid

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen.

251.316 - 258.888 Boston Blackie

Hello, kid. Been doing some thinking, huh? Yeah. Yeah, I have. That's why I sent for you. Sit down.

258.948 - 259.048

Okay.

260.699 - 282.575 Boston Blackie

You ready to listen to a reason? Yeah, maybe. Now, what's the pitch, Mr. James Lawson? I gave you the lowdown at the gym. Yeah, well, there was too much going on. I'd like to get it straight. A school kid could figure what I want you to do, kid. Just take the first good smack Savini throws in the arena Friday night and don't get up. Did you hear that? What's in it for me if I do?

282.835 - 306.959 Boston Blackie

I told you, ten grand. That's a lot of money for a young guy. Yeah, I know it is. And what's in it for me if I don't let Savini win? You're too smart to let that happen, ain't you, kid? Maybe I'm too smart to hit the canvas for a guy who isn't even figured to land a punch on me. Now, look, kid. I told you at the gym, and I'll tell you again. If you like breathing, you better see that Savini wins.
