Joe asks "Still no sign of that body you're trying to find?" Phil says "No, not yet". Joe says "Hey what's the story on this thing we're on? They didn't tell me anything at headquarters, except to meet you up here and take orders from you". Phil says "Well, we got a tip from some citizen that he saw something dumped in the lake, so we've got to find it and .... " Joe says "Hey, I think we did! Look over there!" Phil says "That's it all right, Joe, nice work". Joe says 'Yeah, I'll kill the engine". After they get closer, Joe asks "Any idea who it is?". Phil says "Yeah, some mug probably. Got in bad with his boss, or his mob, and was invited to take a bath the hard way". They grab the body and pull him onto the boat. Phil says "Recognize the guy, Joe? He says "No, he's no local hood, I can tell you that. The lapel of his coat hasn't been touched. I guess whoever knocked him off doesn't care if we are able to identify him". Phil says "I guess not. Anything in his clothes?" Joe says "Yeah, this wallet. No dough". Phil says "Take a look at his identification card". Joe reads "Name, Walter Peters. Address, Harrison Hotel. In case of accident notify .... hey, do you see what I see?" Phil says "I think so. It's a good thing this was a waterproof wallet, or maybe it was a bad thing. It depends on what Inspector Faraday says when he sees what we're looking at". Joe says "How do you like that? In case of accident, notify Boston Blackie!" Later, at the morgue, Faraday says "Blackie, what do you mean you don't know the dead guy? Your name is in his wallet. Didn't you see it? In case of accident, notify Boston Blackie". Blackie says "I saw it, Faraday, and I read it to you so that you'd know what it says. I still don't know Peters. I never saw him in my life." Faraday says "Wait a minute, Blackie, you're holding something back". Blackie says "Yes, my temper". Faraday says "Blackie, we fished Peters body out of the lake this morning". Blackie says "Congratulations, what did you use for bait?"
