What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Rinso, R-I-N-S-O, Soapy Rich Rinso presents Boston Blackie, starring Chester Morris.
Ha, ha, ha.
What are you reading, Chief, Little Abner? No, listen to this, Matthews.
What is the significance of the Star of the Nile emerald?
Special feature of the Great Gems exhibit at the famous Godet Jewelers will be the incomparable Star of the Nile emerald. One of the most precious gems in the world. So precious that George Stevens, vice president of Godet, is personally bringing this star to Chicago from Chicago to New York. I don't get the joke, Chief. Sure you don't, because you don't know that Boston Blackie is on the same train with George Stevens. Chief, I don't get it. Well, if I know my boss in Blackie, and to my great sorrow I do, he won't be able to resist a little gadget worth a cool 200 grand. I still don't see what's funny. Besides, Blackie hasn't gone after sparklers in a long time. I know that, but I also know one thing that sparkles that's right up Blackie's alley.
Yeah, what's that? Dames. Sure, Chief, but the star of the Nile ain't a dame. Yeah, but Helen Carew is. Helen Carew?
Yeah.
Something's bound to happen on a train when it's carrying those three.
George Stevens, Helen Carew, and Boston Blackie.
Well, nobody has to lead Blackie to adventure because somehow adventure always seems to seek him out. In just a moment, we'll hear more about Blackie and the Star of the Nile. You know, you can lead a soap to water, but you can't always make it give thick, rich suds. Not if it's hard water, and not if you're using one of those lazy bar or skimpy suds package soaps. No, ma'am, that's when you want Rinso. Soapy, rich Rinso on the job. You see, Rinso bubbles up in a mountain of suds, practically at the touch of water. Suds that go right to town on your clothes. Suds that get out more dirt to give you that Rinso white, Rinso bright wash. And no hard scrubbing or boiling to ruin your wash day disposition.
A short soaking in Rinse-O-Suds, a few quick finger rubs on extra soiled places, and your clothes are ready to rinse. So, next wash day, whizzle up a Rinse-O-Wash. A wash that's... Rinse and Rinse-O-Bright. And now, Chester Morris and the Adventures of Boston Blackie.
It's obvious that an international bank should be established for reconstruction. At the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held at Bretton Woods, certain preliminary steps were taken. However, it is only the beginning. When you realize that the International Monetary Fund will total around $8,500,000,000. But that's only the beginning.
Yes, well, a small beginning. You know, I get kind of mixed up when I start counting over 850. Oh, young man, we'll all have to learn how to count in millions and billions in the post-war world. That's very interesting. Oh, here you are, Stuart. I'd like some dessert. Can you take this seed, miss? Oh, thank you. Never mind the dessert, Stuart. Well, I'm finished. Wouldn't you rather have this chair by the window? Thank you. And good day to you, young man. Thanks for your company. Well, thanks to you for the tip on the international monetary situation. I can't wait to use it. Um, very interesting man.
Oh, and very distinguished looking, too. Who is he?
How does Boston Blackie get involved with the emerald heist?
I don't know, but he's awfully good at counting. Is, um, is it all right if we talk?
Why not? You see, my mother never told me not to talk to strangers on a train.
I like your mother. Very intelligent woman.
Well, I'm no isolationist. But to make it proper, my name is Helen Carew.
Oh, and mine is Boston Blackie.
Oh, I've heard that name somewhere. Are you a baseball player? Ha, ha, ha.
No, why? Do you like baseball?
No, not particularly.
Well, why did you bring up the subject?
Oh, just to make conversation.
Fine. Let's talk about you.
All right, let's. I'm a very pleased young lady on a train between Chicago and New York.
Why are you pleased?
Because I didn't expect conversation with my dinner.
Well, do you realize that the International Monetary Fund will total about $8,500,000,000 this year? No. Yes. You see... Uh-oh, it's back again. Excuse me, I've lost something. It can't be that $8,500,000,000.
