May I have my coat, miss? Here's the check.
Thank you. Number 503?
Yes, a camel's hair coat.
Oh, yes, I remember. It's right over here. Here you are, sir. Help you on with it?
No, thanks. I'll carry it. Here you are, miss.

Chapter 2: How does Boston Blackie get accused of murder?
They look like blood. Stains? Yeah, stains. Hey, wait a minute. This isn't my coat. Oh, let me see. Well, now, what's this on the label? It says here, Boston Blackie. Yes, that's my label, all right, but this isn't my coat. Uh-huh. I suppose somebody sewed that label in another coat. Well, that's not bad for you, Inspector. Could be.
Well, all I know is you're going down to headquarters and the coat is going to the lab. And I hope those stains prove to be blood.
Well, I hope you don't get your hope.
Once again, Boston Blackie and Inspector Faraday have tangled. Boston Blackie, enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend. Is there anything prettier these hot summer days than a nice-looking girl in a crisp, bright-colored cotton dress? Well, to us men, those dresses always look fresh and cool as peppermint ice cream.
And it's almost as easy as snapping your fingers to keep those pretty printed washables bright and gay with Rinseau helping out. Yes, indeed, those hard-working Rinseau suds make dirt disappear in a jiffy, whether you're using a tub or a washing machine. Rinseau's mighty easy on your pretty washable colors, too. They stay fresh and bright even after dozens of washings.
So take a tip from Bob White for easier wash days and brighter, cleaner clothes. That's Rinso White and Rinso Bright for your colored clothes. If you value them, better use Rinso every time you wash them. And now, back to Chester Morris as Boston Blackie, who is in Inspector Faraday's office, waiting word on the laboratory tests of the bloodstains found on the coat he was wearing.
Likely for a smart guy, you get into more scrapes. Look, Inspector, can't you think without pacing the floor? I've got a little proposition to make you. Oh, but how about the bloodstains on the coat, Inspector? Remember, you wanted me for murder. Well, now, just in case those bloodstains turn out not to be bloodstains... Oh, you don't need to apologize, Inspector. Who's apologizing?
What are you laughing at? Well, your shoelaces are untied. Why don't you tie them? Me? Yes.

Chapter 3: What clues lead to the discovery of the caretaker's murder?
Now, wait a minute. This is going to be fun. Yes. All right, you tie them, Blackie. Now, really, Inspector, this is quite humiliating. I never fancied myself as a gentleman's gentleman. Gentleman's gentleman? Cut out the double-talking. Come on, tie my shoelaces, Blackie. Oh, well, all right. You know I'm enjoying this. Boston Blackie, finally on his knees. Yes, but not begging, Inspector.
By the way, don't you ever get your shoes shined? What for? Oh. Now, there you are. I hope you realize it's a privilege to be tied by Boston Blackie. Wonderful.
Here's the report, Inspector.
Okay, let's have it. That'll be all, Matthews. Right, Inspector. Goodbye, Matthews. You ain't going anywhere, Blackie. What? Well, come on, Inspector. What's the verdict? I'll read it to you, Blackie. It says, quote, stains taken from the coat of Boston Blackie Analyzer. Yes.
Tests show them to be human blood matching that of Andrew Lawrence, murdered caretaker of Devon Estate, signed Murphy Police Laboratory, unquote. Well, that's it, Blackie. I'm locking you up right now. Oh. And I'm not taking any chances on you getting out of here first. Hold out your hands. Oh, now, Inspector Cuffs, for me? Yeah. Oh, you've got a very bad memory.
Okay, maybe you can get out of handcuffs, but my gun doesn't miss. What, a gun again, Inspector? Again. Say, look, why don't you try a bow and arrow for a change? All right, let's get going. And just to make sure, I'm going to escort you personally to your cell. That'll be nice. All right, down the hall. And don't try anything funny. Well, will you sit with me a while and hold my hand?

Chapter 4: How does Blackie plan to find the missing gun collection?
Oh, come on. Oh, my God. I'm sorry I had to tie your shoelaces together, Faraday. And thanks for the gun. You know, you look very funny. Generally, you're only flat on your feet. But now you're flat on your face. Not the answer yet, Flanky? Not yet, Shorty. Hello? Oh, hello. Savoy Cafe? Yes? This is the manager speaking. Well, my name is Jones.
Yes?
My niece works in your check room. I just arrived in town, and I'd like to talk to her, please. You mean Marion Macy? Yes. Well, she's not here. I'm sorry. She's gone home. Had a headache, she said. Left here about an hour ago. Oh, she did. Too bad. By the way, could you give me her address? Why, yes. The Lincoln apartment. The Lincoln, huh? Well, thank you very much. Goodbye.
You know, I still can't figure out, Blackie, why that hat check girl would take the label out of your coat and then sew it in another one.
Well, she was probably following orders. That's what we're going to find out. We're going to leave this hideout, Patsy? Yes. We're going to the Lincoln Apartments. Here's the apartment, Shorty. That's funny. Probably asleep. But I've got to talk to her.
Can you open that door, boss?
Are you kidding? I've got it, Shorty. There it is. Come on.
I'm getting a creepy feeling, boss, like I always do.
Oh, Shorty, will you relax?

Chapter 5: What information does Polly Morrison reveal about the estate?
Hey, what's this? Holy mackerel, the dame. Boss, that feeling of mine was right. Yes, it's the checkroom girl, right, Shorty? She's dead. Come on over here and take a look.
Oh, no, no, no. I'll take your word for it.
Poor kid. Stabbed to death. Somebody's playing for keeps, Shorty. Somebody wanted to make sure I didn't find out who told her to switch coats. If Faraday walks in now, he'll try to pin us on you, sure. Come on, we'd better get out of here. Come on. That's right. There's nothing around here will help us. Shorty?
Yeah?
That caretaker was murdered out at the Devon estate.
So that's where I'm going.
Oh, I beg your pardon, miss. I didn't see you.
What are you doing here on my grounds?
Well, this is the Devon estate, isn't it?

Chapter 6: How does Blackie's investigation unfold at the Devon estate?
Things can happen, you know.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Oh, Mrs. Morrison, please believe me.
I believe you, but I'll never know why.
Thanks.
The house is up this way. What can I tell you that might help you, Mr. Jones?
Well, for one thing, I'm puzzled. Now, your name is Morrison, and this is the Devon estate.
Well, I bought it six months ago.
Oh.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the gun collection in the plot?
I'll bet your caretaker surprised him while he was searching for it. Uh, how long had the caretaker been here?
A long time. I sort of inherited him with the place. I see.
You mentioned there was a policeman on the grounds. Where is he?
He's around somewhere. He's staying with Jerry in the caretaker's cottage.
Miss Morrison, could you arrange for the policeman and your new caretaker to sleep downstairs here and for me to take over the cottage for the night?
Certainly I can do that.
Oh, fine. And can you reach me in a hurry if you need me?
Yes. There's an extension phone between here and the caretaker's place. Good. I'll call Jerry and tell him he's sleeping down here tonight.
Thanks. Oh, uh, Miss Morrison... What do your best friends call you?

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with the resolution of the mystery?
Polly.
Polly. Polly, what's happened? Wake up, Polly. Wake up.
What?
Get up. Come on now.
Up.
That's a girl. Come on now. Now walk around the room with me. Here, put your arm on my shoulder. That's right. Now tell me what happened.
I don't know.
You've been drugged, Polly. Now come on, try and think.
I don't know. I'm tired. I want to lie down.
