Transcript

Jerry of the circus. Before Jerry of the circus. Oh, there you are, Mr. Randall. I'm glad you got here.

I tell you, I've been over and over these accounts and checked with the bank, and I'm sure we didn't take in one bad bill in Evansville. Don't say. I'm not hardly seen as possible with so much of the money in that town.

In the very day we were there, too. Have you asked me? It looks like a plant. What do you mean? Look, the town is flooded with counterfeit. Yeah? And it happens the very day the circus plays a town.

Not the day before, all the day after. Not the day before, all the day after. Well. And the circus doesn't take in one pony. Well, of course we didn't take in some counterfeit and for him.

Yeah, but that counterfeit was being passed around there for several days. But if you remember, the most of it was planned the day the fair closed. Yeah, it's a pretty smart trek too. Well, that's the danger of getting caught the last day.

Yeah, but it also was the last day of the circus. Jim Bennett, you're not suggesting that someone in this circus is passing out that counterfeit. Ah, looks mighty like it, don't it? Oh, but, Jim, you know our folks, why most of them have been with me for years.

I know them better than my own family. So I know that as well as anyone. But it looks to me like whoever these criminals are, they're trying to make it look like the circus was to blame.

Huh. Jim, I believe we've had on something. I always did say you'd think faster than anybody else in the business. Have all the load down, sneaky. Excuse me, buddy. Yeah, what you want? Well, I'm looking for Mr. Randall.
