Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh, Marion. I'm glad you called. I'm sorry, Angel. I'm all jammed up. Some boy just came to see me with a proposition I couldn't possibly turn down. If we work it right, it may mean a killing. Once again, The Adventures of the Falcon, starring Les Damon. The Adventures of the Falcon, dedicated to private investigators everywhere. Those hard-hitting detectives who, like Mike Waring, risk their lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now when the Falcon solves the case of the handy helpmate. It is late afternoon in New York, and at the Miramar, a cheap hotel on the Bowery, one citizen finds release from the cares of the day. But the sound effects annoy Chuck Lewis, and when Chuck is annoyed, he does something about it.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 2:09
All right, Tony. Get up. Leave me alone. Come on, bum. Get out of my room. I ain't bothering anybody. You're bothering me. That you, Willie? Yeah. Where the devil have you been? I just went out for some air. Oh, you just went... What are you hanging around for, Tony? I told you to get lost. Someone would think you own a joint. What did you say?
Tony / Willie Frank (minor Bowery character) / Unknown 2:31
Nothing.
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 2:34
He's a wise guy, that Tony. I wouldn't let him get away with it, Chuck. No? What would you do? What's the matter, pal? Everything rubs you the wrong way.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 2:44
Yeah, maybe this will make you feel better. Where'd you get that bottle?
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 2:48
I got friends.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 2:50
You raise any dough?
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 2:51
No, I never saw such a bunch of tight wads in my life.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 2:55
Come here a second. Huh? I said come here.

What is the opening scene and how does the mystery begin?

Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 2:58
Now, look, Chuck... What's the matter? Don't you understand English? Oh, cut it out. Now, empty your pockets. Huh? Quit stalling. Turn them inside out. Oh, listen... Now, you better do like I say.
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 3:09
Look, Chuck, I don't want you to think that... Oh, you little rat.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 3:15
So you're holding out on me, huh? Now, honest, I was going to split. Now, where'd you get this C-note? Hey... found it. You're lying. Oh. Where'd you get it?
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 3:27
You remember Marty Braddock?
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 3:29
How could I forget if I ever lay my hands on it? Hey, wait a minute. You trying to tell me you ran into Marty? No, but I met his missus. Julie? Yeah. What do you know? He must have been real tickled to see you. What'd you do, follow her home? Yeah, I put the bite on her. Yeah, Marty must be doing okay if his wife can shell out a hundred clams.
Chuck Lewis (supporting thug) / Unknown actor 3:52
Leave it to Marty. He's got a job at the Belmont Bank. He what? You know what I was figuring, Chuck? I bet he wouldn't mind a touch now and then to keep his old friends happy.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 4:03
Oh, you jerk. Is that all you can think of? Huh? Where's your imagination? Marty working for a bank, you expect me to be satisfied with a couple of bucks? Now, if you said a couple of thousand, that would be different. I don't get you. No, but Marty will. Get my coat. We're going bye-bye.
Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 4:36
Yes, sir? Can I help you? Yes. Can you break this bill? Certainly. How would you like it? Oh, five, five ones will be fine. Five, one, two, three. You, Marty Braddock... Yes, that's right. I wonder if you could spare me a few minutes. My name is Mike Waring. Well, I'm very busy, Mr. Waring. Bank is one of my clients. Just close your window. Really, Mr. Waring, I... It's okay. It's official business. Suppose we go into Sinclair's office. Sure. Hey, better come around this way. May I ask what this is all about? You'll find out. I hope Mr. Sinclair isn't annoyed with me. Not yet, anyway. All right, sit down.

Who are Chuck Lewis, Willie Frank and Marty Braddock and how do they reconnect?

Les Damon (Mike Waring / The Falcon) 5:20
