Everybody loves a parade and the Chinese nationalists are no exception.

An impressive display of modern military might

has been in review for Generalissimo Chang Kai Chek.

in a dramatic demonstration of readiness in the Far East.

They do this by the hour seeking that Hourglass Figure.

Philly, the city of hope, the city of brotherly love, is

the scene of dedication ceremonies that will turn the palatial mansion

of dead millionaire Barton Jonesworth

into a spiritual research center for Sister Sarah,

who is widely known for her famous occult revelations.

In order to start her movement that will put within the reach of everyone

the tremendous untapped resources of the collective unconscious,

devoted followers of Sister Sarah have showered her with money and gifts

so necessary to transform her vision into reality.

Now for a few words from Sister Sarah.

Excuse me a moment, please, Sister Sarah

Won't you say something for our newsreel audience?

They're all interested to know just how you feel.

I should like to say a few words about the late Barton Jonesworth.

Feel perfectly free to do so.

When he came to see me six years ago, he said-quote-

I do not believe in charity, I'm a business man -unquote-

So I said to Mr. Jonesworth

that I would never ask him for a donation,

not even a dime. However,

if he wanted to sell something, I'd be glad to talk business.

These automobiles,

I paid Mr. Jonesworth the total sum of 25 cents.

For this fur I'm wearing, 40 cents.

And this priceless

necklace, 60 cents.

And finally this magnificent mansion,

this 70 acre estate, the price asked was 1 $.

Not a cent more.

think this all proves something.

While Mr. Jonesworth said he did not believe in charity,

as a business man, he was very, very generous.

Hello.

Hello.

What can I do for you?

I wanna see Sister Sarah.

What about?

I wanna make a donation.

Sister Sarah!

What is it, my child?

Thank you, Sister Sarah. Thank you so much.

Tell me... Did you have lunch?

Well, you're going to have lunch with me.

And dinner too. Come along!

Come along!

How did you make out?

- Piece of cake. - I told you that girl could handle it.

Lord! Some castle she's got there!

- I got tired counting the rooms. - What's the lay out?

Looks good. There's only one hitch.

You'll have to time it from the first second.

You'll have exactly 15 minutes.

What do you mean, 15 minutes?

What's the 30 minute business?

We got talking about this and that and she told me she's crazy about John Facenda.

John Facenda?

You know, that TV reporter, he's on every night.

11 o'clock, for 15 minutes.

She watches John Facenda and he's on for 15 minutes. So what?

- The TV set is downstairs and... - Will you get to it?

Where is she keeping it?

In her room.

In a wall safe.

I don't know. There ain't much time.

Especially not on this one, our first big job.

Thirty seconds.

Will you cut it out?

- What? - You're breathing on my neck.

Twenty seconds.

Eighteen.

Check the light.

Ten seconds, Mr. Facenda.

Settle down, boys.

Standby please.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

Let's stick around a while.

- The necklace! - You got it?

Not yet.

Wait here.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Philadelphia,

A love-sick boy was fatally wounded today

in a gun battle with 35 policemen.

They caught in a woodland hideout in Belmont Park where he had fled

after killing his sweetheart and three members of her family.

Is this your car?

Yeah but I sure wish it wasn't, officer.

- What're you doing out here? - Know where there's an all-night mechanic?

- What's wrong. - Stalled on me, won't start.

- Let's see your card. - Yeah.

I must have walked 3 miles. Nothing!

Not one gas station open.

They close up early round here. Know what time it is?

If it's the battery,

you could need a push.

No, it isn't the battery. She turns over all right.

I don't know what it is.

Will you let me try?

- How are the cards? - They're in order.

Some nights, a man shouldn't go out.

That all depends on what he's out for.

How many drinks you have?

Not a drop. I never touch it.

Don't let it get away!

Look... What's your line of work?

- The selling business. - Door to door?

- Yeah. - How is business?

I break even. You know how it is, it's a struggle.

What ain't?

What're you gonna do now?

Climb in the back and go to sleep.

Unless you want to drive me home.

Does it look like a taxi?

Come on, we should go.

Good night all.

Nat... How did it go?

O.K.

- Vic. - Nerves.

You don't look so good yourself.

- It's all right. - You want a drink?

- I'd choke on it. - A coffee.

Not for me, nothing. I just wanna sit here.

You, Nat?

Nat...

Nat... I'm talking to you.

You want some coffee?

Yeah.

What's it read?

You're in the light.

Let's have it! What's the story?

Get out of the light.

Move, how can I see what I'm doing?

Merchandise, Nat.

Very expensive merchandise.

- How much? - You really made a hole.

Remarkable piece of property here.

All right, all right. What's the figure?

One and a half.

What? That high?

A hundred and fifty thou.

That's the store price. How much can we get for it?

From a fence? Around 80, 85.

What are you talking about? It's more than 50% off.

All right, you sell it. Take it to Tiffany's.

It's worth 150, we sell it 85 grand, we're giving it away.

You'll be getting 20000.

That buys a lot of lunches.

We ought to get more than 80.

Here, feel it.

Watch out! You'd burn your fingers.

You got that? It's hot, Dohmer.

Scorching hot.

A fence gets hold of this, right away he's gonna be worried.

Right away, he'll start thinking about to get rid of it.

The setting is platinum, it's got to be melted down.

The stones have to be cut, recut, maybe cut again.

You don't buy that with peanuts.

Some day, I'll teach you the jewelery business.

Better get busy right away, there's a fence I know in Baltimore.

Call him, make it fast. The sooner we get this off our hands...

No, no phone calls.

No wires, no letters, not even in code, nothing.

Why not?

This trinket need a mug. We gotta turn it into cash.

Relax! Cool yourself.

Why the slow motion? What are we waiting for?

A drop in the temperature.

You think that's hot?
