Chapter 1: What is the Brandon Jewel Robbery about?
How can I help? It's a question I ask my patients every day. It's a question I ask myself.

That's VHI, where healthcare connects. So let me rephrase the question.

Blackie, you're a creature of habit. We have eaten in this restaurant every Tuesday for weeks, do you know that?
I've got another habit, Mary. I pay the check when we're through eating, like now. Let's go, hon.
I'm ready.
All right, better take you straight home if you want to be there before your cousin arrives.
Oh, well, she'll wait for me, I hope.

Chapter 2: How does Blackie get involved in the mystery?
But I couldn't take the money from Mr. Peterkin. Maybe you can't take it from Mr. Peterkin, but you can take it from me. And take it from me, you're taking that $90. Here. And do me a favor, will you? Believe my name is Boston Blackie. Do you understand?
Of course I understand. Your name is Boston Blackie, Mr. Peterkin.
Oh, Mary, the watch is beautiful. You shouldn't have done it. You really like it, Trudy? Like it? It's the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. You've certainly spent a lot of money on just an ordinary cousin. I haven't spent it yet. Blackie got it, and I haven't paid him for it. And besides, you're not just an ordinary cousin. Oh, it's lovely, Mary.
Oh, oh, I told Blackie not to have it engraved for you. Until after you'd seen it, that is. Now, now, be honest with me, Trudy. Is it really the kind of watch you like? Oh, who wouldn't like a watch like this? Well, all right, then. You can have it engraved this evening. Frankie said he got it at Brandon's. That's not far from here. We can run right over.
Oh, I'd like to, Mary, but my train leaves at midnight, and there are some things I have to do downtown before train time. Oh, I see. I'll have it engraved when I get back. Well, all right. I guess that... Wait a minute. I can take it over to Brandon's for you. I can have it engraved and send it to you. Well, Mary, would you take it over to the jeweler's for me? That'd be wonderful. Well, sure.
Let's see. It's eight o'clock now. I can take the watch to Brandon's right away, call for it tomorrow, and send it to you then. You're sure it won't be too much trouble? Trouble? This, Trudy, promises to be the least troublesome night of my life. Knock on wood. Oh, Blackie, please be home. Please. Oh, Blackie, please, please. Hello? Oh, oh, Blackie, this is Mary.
Hello, Mary. How'd your cousin like the watch?
Never mind about the watch. Come down to Brandon's jewelry store and right away. What's the matter? Plenty. Mr. Brandon... Oh, Blackie. Mr. Brandon's dead.
Brandon's dead?

Chapter 3: What clues lead to the discovery of the murder?
You were just about to send for one of your gang.
I have a lock to this store a few minutes ago sent for me. I forgot to throw the alarm switch and we got a signal at our headquarters. What's the matter down here?
Do you know the owner of the store? Sure, Sam Brandon. Would you know him if you saw him dead? Huh? Dead? Where? Turn your flashlight over there, at the aisle between the two counters. Like this? I don't see him. Is that Sam Brandon?
He sure is. Don't move, either of you. You're both taking a little ride to police headquarters.
Frankie, you're here at police headquarters so much, you'll remain a sergeant soon.
I'm not surprised to find you here. But, Miss Wesley, you're something new.
Inspector Faraday, you don't think we killed Mr. Brandon, do you?
Of course he does, Mary. Doesn't he always? I most certainly don't think you killed him. Faraday... But I'm plenty sore at you, Blackie. And disappointed in you, Miss Wesley. Don't either of you know better than to get mixed up in these things?
Well, when I found the body, I didn't know what to do.

Chapter 4: Who are the key suspects in the robbery and murder?
It was such a shame, a terrible thing. The papers say it was murder. Is that so? Yes, I'm afraid it was. Did you deliver any of the pieces of jewelry here on my list to Brandon? Let me see. Yes. Okay. How many of those pieces did you deliver, Mr. Jackson? Why, why, all of them. I was afraid of that. Afraid? How do you mean, sir?
Brandon insured them against theft with us, and they're all missing $100,000 worth. Good heavens, Mr. Winston. I gave those jewels to Mr. Brandon on consignment. Am I to lose all that money? No, no, of course not. My company will pay every cent Brandon owes. But if I'm not paid, I will be ruined. Don't worry, Mr. Jackson. You'll get paid.
But first, I'm going to see Inspector Faraday and get him to charge Boston Blackie and Mary Wesley with murder and robbery. Look, Inspector Faraday, here's a list of the stuff that's missing from Brandon's store. Look at the size of it. I see the size of it, Winston. Then why did you let Blackie and the Wesley girl go? Because I know they didn't rob Brandon's store. Or kill Brandon. Look.
Did you do your job at least up to the point of searching Blackie and the Wesley woman before you let them go? Sure, but that was just routine. Do you have a list of what you found on them? Right here on my desk. All they had on them were their own personal possessions. Let me see the list. Help yourself to it. Like he had a pocket knife, small coins, various bills.
And, but the usual stuff you always find in a man's pocket. And now will you be happy? Yeah, let's see the list of Miss Wesley's things. Yeah, what a list it is. Why do women carry all that junk? She had a silver comb, silver wristwatch, lipstick powder, various bills, small coins. Gold Ajax wristwatch. Well, so what? So look on this list.

The items taken from Brandon's store. One gold Ajax wristwatch. Did you see that gold wristwatch yourself?
Yeah, I did.

Chapter 5: What role does the insurance agent play in the investigation?
That gold wristwatch you had in your bag.
Oh, that. It was bought at Brandon's by Boston Blackie.
I had it in my purse... Never mind how you got it, Miss Wesley. Do you lie to somebody else? This watch is stolen property. Get your hat and coat. You're under arrest.
Now, just a minute, Mr. Winston. Blackie, are you still there?
Yes, Mary, I'm here. I heard everything.
What do I do now?
Go to headquarters with Winston. He won't be there long. Somehow I feel Mr. Petikin is mixed up in this, and I'm going to find out how before I get mixed up entirely. Closing my favorite restaurant rather early tonight, aren't you? Oh, you. Yes, Mr. Petikin, remember?
What's the idea of the gun?
What was the idea of calling me Mr. Petikin?

Chapter 6: How does Blackie uncover the truth behind the robbery?
Hello? Hello?
Blackie, I've been looking everywhere for you. Well, I haven't been everywhere, Faraday. Maybe that's why you didn't find me. Look, Winston made me put Miss Wesley in jail, and he wants you. I know that. Well, I hope you know something else. I'm going to arrest you, but I don't want it.
Oh, go ahead and arrest me, Faraday. I won't mind. If you book me under the name Peterkin. Peterkin? What are you talking about? A little plot to make it look as if I robbed Brandon's jewelry store. It's a crazy story, Faraday.
Yeah.
Brandon paid a restaurant cashier and a cab driver to call me Mr. Peterkin and refuse to take money from me. Why? So that when I walked into his store an hour later, and he called me Mr. Peterkin and refused to take money for his watch, I'd walk out without a sales slip. That's all he needed to make it appear that the watch was stolen, which he was going to claim later.
When you said that was a crazy story, you were making an understatement. I can't believe a thing like that, Blackie.
Look, Faraday, of all the stuff stolen from Brandon, what's turned up? Only the watch found on Miss Wesley. That backs up my story, because all Brandon needed to establish the fact that his store had been robbed was to have the police find one missing article. He wanted to establish the fact that his store had been robbed? Blackie, that sounds as if Brandon robbed his own place.
I think he was in on the deal, Faraday. And the merchandise supposedly stolen is just hidden somewhere.
of the missing property? Sure, right here. Look at the length of it. But Blackie, if Brandon robbed his own store, why was he killed?

Chapter 7: What surprising twist occurs during the investigation?
Mr. Jackson is everything, my friend. Hurry, we'll be waiting for you. You should have seen Jackson's face when Faraday walked in, Mary. It was wonderful.
How long did it take Jackson to confess to Brandon's murder?
About five minutes.
Why did he kill him?
To keep from splitting the insurance money with him.
And he killed Brandon just after you left with the watch you bought for me.
When I left Brandon's store without a sales slip for that watch, Jackson was in the back and Brandon told him the plan had worked. And then all Brandon had to do was to call the police and tell them his store had been robbed. That was the moment Jackson was waiting for.
I'm surprised you got away posing as Mr. Blackburn when you talked to Jackson.
Oh, I am a wonderful actor.
