forearm, you roll
up our sleeve. A
small puncture
gives you pause...

which sounds
strange to your
ears.
With dawning
horror, you then

concerned that

and dreary cellar.

bulb!

careful, because
it looks that if

something here,
you might never
see it again!
(if first time)
It reminds you of
something you've
seen from your
childhood.
It was the last
time you took
a bath!
You watched as the
water sucked your
favorite rubber
ducky right down
the drain!
You shake your
head of the

whether it's real
or not.

If you do that,
it may cause you
trouble later.
[Discard item in RD]
You discard the
_____________.
("Go RR" and "Go R"'s rooms repeat over and over again infinitely, so there's

UNARMED MUGGER
==============
Suddenly, a mugger
jumps out in front
of you!
"Ma always told me
it was wrong ta
steal.
She also said it
was wrong ta kill,
so jez give me all
yer money and
you'll be fine!"
[do something stupid]
"Are you kidding?"
the mugger says
and then slugs you
in the face before
you can answer.
Stars explode and
you are out like a
light!
You shake your
head groggily as
you get up.
You notice the
mugger is now gone
as you check your
pockets.
You curse your
luck as you
discover there is
not a penny left.
He took
everything!
[give him COINS]
"This is small
change!" the
mugger yells!
He unloads a
wicket left and
catches you right
on the kisser!
His punch was a
beauty... you go
down in a heap,
out cold before
you hit the
ground!
You shake your
head groggily as
you get up.

hop and a giggle.

You shoot the
mugger only to

Boy, where were
they a few minutes
ago when you could
have really used
them!
Your pleas of
self-defense is
tough to sell when
it is noticed that
the guy didn't
have a weapon
on him.
It doesn't take
too long for a
jury of your peers
to convict you of
first degree
murder and
sentence you to
death.
It appears your
casebook will be
forever closed,
Ace!

SUGAR SHACK
===========
A woman comes out
of nowhere and
says, "It's been a
while, Sugar. I
just got out of
prison and had
some business to
take care of!
First with our old
friend Siegel. But
all's I found was
his car out front.
So I prepared a
little surprise
for him!
Something to even
the score you
might say!
And as for you
Sugar, I got a
little surprise
for you too. Right [sic]
here in my purse!
[hit her]
SOCKO!
A quick jab out of
nowhere and she's
out like a light!
Her purse drops to
the ground as she
falls out cold!
You are standing
over the lady you
just sucker
punched.
You probably
shouldn't stand
here much longer,
people might get
the wrong
impression!
[shoot her]
Going against
common sense, you
decide to shoot
her.
A passing cop
hears the shot and
quickly shows up
and takes you into
custody.
It doesn't take
too long for a
jury of your peers
to convict you of
first degree
murder and
sentence you to
death.
[do something stupid]
BLAM!
Your reflexes
with your gun are
too slow, she
beats you to the
draw and plugs you
full of holes!
[look at handbag]
It's a black
handbag. It looks
big enough to
choke a mule!
ARMED MUGGER
============
A mugger blocks
your way. He wants
all of your money!
You ponder the
wisdom of what to
do next...
[do something stupid]
The mugger's got
an itchy trigger
finger and lets
you have it.
[use "COINS" on him]
"You're holding
out on me!"
the man yells as
he empties his gun
into you!
[use "$20-BILL" on him]
The man takes your
money and skips
away saying,
"Ha ha, the gun
wasn't even
loaded!"
[use "GUN" on him]
You were a bit
slow on the
trigger.
He shot you first.
[meet him, second time]
The mugger blocks
your way.
His black eye
shines as a
souvenir of your
last encounter.
"OK, hotshot! I
wouldn't try that
again if I were
you.
Give me all your
money, now!" he
finishes looking a
bit unsure of
himself.
[meet him, third time]
The mugger blocks
your way again,
this time with
two nasty shiners.
In a menacing tone
he threatens,
"Give me your
money!"
[HIT him, 1st time]
SOCKO!
A quick jab to
the mugger's eye
stuns him.
He runs down the
street shouting,
"I'll be back!"
[HIT him, 2nd time]
SOCKO!
A swift jab to
the mugger's left
eye sends him
reeling back
in pain.
He quickly runs
away.
[HIT him, 3rd time]
SOCKO!
A lightning fast
fist hits him
in the nose.
He stumbles for
a moment and then
runs away again.
[give him $20 after punching him at least once]
You give him $20.
He grabs it and
runs away saying.
"About time you
wised up!"
POLICE STATION
==============
You're standing in
front of the
police station.
[enter without memory]
Click! The cops
snap the cuffs on
you!
You are
questioned over
and over anout
your whereabouts
and actions of the
last 24 hours!
Since you can't
remember a thing
you seem the
likeliest
candidate for
committing murder
and kidnapping.
Since you're
unable to cure
your condition,
you spend the
remainder of your
life in a padded
cell in an
institution.
[enter WITHOUT gun, NOT ENOUGH evidence, FAKE evidence.]
You step into the
police station.
The cops quickly
surround you with
their hands on
their clubs and
guns.
They seem very
eager to hear
your story.
But there is too
little evidence
that Sternwood and
Vickers were
involved...
If Sternwood and
Vickers didn't
kill Siegel and
kidnap Mrs.
Sternwood, then
you're the next
best suspect.
The cops uncover
the bad blood
between you and
Siegel and bring
you up on charges.
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
[enter WITH gun]
Click! Cuffed by
the cops.
Your story
interests them so
they investigate
the murder and the
kidnapping.
Various
interesting facts
are brought to
light.
Unfortunately,
they find your
gun among the
evidence.
With your
fingerprints all
over it and the
bullets matched up
with the slugs
pulled from
Siegel's body...
It's basically an
open and shut
case! They don't
buy your story
that Sternwood
and Vickers were
the culprits...
Especially since
the gun is more
than enough proof
that you were
the killer.
Sorry Ace, but it
seems you're out
of luck!
[WITH evidence with you, WITH evidence against you]
You step into the
police station.
The cops quickly
surround you with
their hands on
their clubs and
guns.
They seem very
eager to hear
your story.
Your story and
the three pieces
of evidence made
Sternwood and
Vickers look
suspicious.
But you can't be
certain of that.
The cops find
some incriminating
evidence and
they suspect
YOU committed Joey
Siegel's murder
and kidnapped
Mrs. Sternwood.
The bad blood
between you and
Siegel was well
known.
It doesn't take
them long before
they bring you
before the judge.
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
[WITH evidence with you, WITHOUT evidence against you]
You're in the
hands of the
police.
The evidence
you've brought to
them proves to be
interesting,
especially in the
courtroom where
you eventually
wind up.
During the trial
of the kidnapping
of Mrs. Sternwood
and the murder of
Joey Siegel, 3
bits of evidence
proved valuable:
the diary from
Vicker's bungalow,
the blackmail
letter and the
timetable from
Sternwood's
bedroom.
These 3 items,
put together,
paint the picture
of a plot by
Sternwood and
Vickers to kill
Mrs. Sternwood
and Joey Siegel.
And also to make
you take the fall
for it.
The diary and the
blackmail letter
provided the
motive for the
crime.
And the timetable
indicated how they
did it.
Sternwood and
Vickers were
mercilessly
grilled on the
witness stand.
The weight of the
evidence and the
skilled tactics of
your lawyer, made

The case made it
onto the wire and
became a national
story, you see
your name splashed
across every paper
in the country.
The recognition is
more than anyone
could have asked
for! Especially
for someone who
was having
troubles paying
his bills!
CONSTRUCTION PIT
================
Whoops! You don't
watch that first
step and plunge
down head over
heels into a deep
construction pit.
You should have
paid attention to
what was coming
round the bend!
NEWSTAND
========
[upon entry]
You're in front of
a newsstand.
You feel that this
might not be
the best time to
brush up on
current events.
[talk to newsboy]
"It's a twenty-five

If ya want, take

says the newsboy.

You don't have
any strength left!
[take the paper]
You take the
newspaper.
You hand the
newsboy a quarter
and take a paper.
The newsboy says,
"Da cops have
been roaming
'round here
looking for
anyone suspicious
like.
'Dey got a call
from some dame
who lives across
the street from
Joe's.
She said that she

goings-on 'round
there, and she
gave a description
of someone that
looks an awful lot
like you!
Ya better watch

[talk to the fat guy]
The guy behind
the counter asks,
"Can I help you
or what?"
[attempt to punch/shoot him]

[look at sign]
The sign says,
"Tonight's special
$20."
BUM
===
You run into a bum
who blocks your
way. The stench of
him is almost too
much to bear!
He stands so close
that your eyes
water.
The following
words dribble out
of his mouth, "I
got a scoop.
Somethin' that'll
save yer life,
if it's worth
fifty cents to
ya..."
[look at him]
He looks very weak
and defenseless.
The man looks
extremely dazed,
too!
You hesitate about
getting mixed up
with the likes of
him.
[look at trash can]
It looks like
a trash can.
[hit him]
SOCKO!
You belted the bum
hard, but somehow
you don't think he
noticed- seeing
the condition he
is in!
Unfortunately,
someone else might
have noticed...
the sound of
police sirens
begin to fill the
air!
You think now
might be a good
time to beat a
quick exit!
[shoot him]
You take a shot at
the bum and hear
a woman begin to
scream.
Immediately the
quiet of the
street is
shattered by the
sound of sirens!
Before you can
make a quick
getaway, the cops
come in force and
haul you off.
You're on trial
for attempted
murder.
The prosecution
has a solid case
against you with
many eyewitnesses.
Even your lawyer
has given up on
your defense and
wants to make a
deal! It doesn't
look good at all!
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
[give him 50c]
The bum gladly
takes the money,
looks around
and slurs,
"Joey's hit man
has been lookin'
for ya.
I got da word
that he's waiting
in yer office.
Better watch out."
[attempt to give him $20]
The bum looks at
the twenty and
starts drooling.
[see him after paying]
There's a
vagrant crossing
the street.

with the key.
[look at gag]

white cloth.
[look at woman]
It's the biggest
woman you've ever
seen in your life!
You wonder how she
ever managed to
get inside the
trunk!
Then you notice
she appears to be
unconscious.
You also see that
she has been
gagged and bound.
Now THAT is one
large woman! She's
got to be at least
400 lbs!
You have an uneasy
feeling that
you've seen her
before.
[use MEDS1 on woman]
The woman is
trying to say
something, but her
gag prevents you
from understanding
her clearly.
[use MEDS1 on woman after removing gag]
The sodium
pentathol takes
effect.
The woman starts
babbling,
"Take me home,
please take me
home...
626 Auburn Road,
take me there..."
Her voice trails
off as she stops
talking and lapses
back into
unconsciousness.
[shoot her]
Going against
common sense, you
decide to shoot
her.
A passing cop
hears the shot and
quickly shows up
and takes you into
custody.
It doesn't take
too long for a
jury of your peers
to convict you of
first degree
murder and
sentence you to
death.
"Hey mister, where
d'ya wanna go?"
the driver asks in
a nervous tone.
[after selecting choice]
The cabby
accelerates in a
sudden burst of
speed!
When you arrive,
he looks at the
meter and says,
"Here ya are!
That'll be
seventy-five
cents, Mac!"
[if attempt to leave]
With an angry
frow the driver
says, "Hey pal! Ya
still owe me!
And ya better pay
up or I'll call da
cops!"
[use COINS on slot]
The driver counts
the change.
"1, 2... Yup, 3
quarters. Thanks a
lot, bub!"
[if going to same location]
The cabby laughs
and says, "Ya must
be new in town ...
we're already
there!"
YELLOW CAB
==========
[upon entry]
You're in a beat
up yellow cab.
The cabby looks
like a pleasant
enough fellow.
[look at driver]
"What can I do (it's "for you", dammit!)
you for?" the
cabby asks with a
smile.
[talk to driver]
The cabby asks,
"Where to,
mister?"
[after selecting destination]
You are thrown
around by the
cabby's reckless
driving.
Just when you are
about to complain,
he stops the cab
with a screech
and says,
"Here ya go,
that'll be
seventy-five
cents!"
[leave without paying]
"Hey bub, ya
haven't paid me
yet!" yells the
cabby.
"Ya better pay me
or else!"

You give the cabby
his fare.
"Thanks, bub," he
says with a smile.

[use $20-BILL on slot]
The cabby looks
at you and says,
"Sorry pal, I
ain't got any
change!"
[Shoot the driver]
You've managed
to shoot the
bulletproof screen
between you and
the cabby.
You overhear his
frantic calls for
the police on his
radio!
You're on trial
for attempted
murder.
The prosecution
has a solid case
against you with
many eyewitnesses.
Even your lawyer
has given up on
your defense and
wants to make a
deal! It doesn't
look good at all!
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
[punch the driver]
You've just
successfully
slugged the
bulletproof
glass.
[look at fare meter]
It's a fare meter.
[look at PAY HERE slot]
It's the slot
where you pay the
cab fare.
[use money on driver]
There's
bulletproof glass
between yourself
and the cab
driver.
Since you can't
pay the fare
directly, you need
to put the fare
into the pay slot
instead.
[attempt to pay before going to destination]
The bill won't (There is a script error here. It says this even if u
go in the slot! use COINS.)
[attempt to leave twice]
What started out
as a bad day just
got worse!
The disgruntled
cabby called the
police on you.
The cops frown on
the fact that you
stiffed the cab
driver!
A brief trial is
all that's needed
to convict you.

The apartment
building rises
high above you.
BOTTOM FLOOR

target!
[hit the knocker]
You rap the
knocker against
the door.
BUTLER
======
An old man comes
and answers the
door. In a
condescending
tone the butler
explains that he
has orders not to
let anyone in.
He adds that his
employer has had a
difficult night
and is currently
asleep.
[shoot him]
You take deadly
aim and shot the
snooty butler! The
sound brings a
bunch of startled
cleaning servants
who look on in
horror.
Probably a bit too
drastic, Ace!
It doesn't take
long before the
cops arrive,
alerted by the
frightened staff.
You are quickly
cuffed and hauled
in!
You're on trial
for attempted
murder.
The prosecution

Your cell awaits
you at Joliet

bigger than a city
block!
[look at stairs]
This stairway
leads to the
second floor.

[first time entry]
You're in

The place is so

It's a finely
detailed porcelain
dish.
[look at frying pan]
This pan was made
for fryin',
and that's just
what you'll do if

Another memory
from your
childhood washes
over you...
it's your mother!
She's baked a cake

begins yelling for
the cops.
They quickly
appear and arrest
you.
It doesn't take
too long for a
jury of your peers
to convict you of
first degree
murder and
sentence you to
death.
It appears your
casebook will be
forever closed,
Ace!

The woman is a
real looker!
You known you've
seen her before.

It's simple.
You're gonna die.
And I'm gonna
continue to see
John.
See? This is for
you! This gun is
what you get for
meddling in my
life!"
With a shudder she
drifts quietly
back into a deep
sleep.
[use PENCIL on MEMO]
You use the pencil
to shade over
the indentations

what was written
on the previous

then relaxes as
the medicine takes
effect.
He begins to
mumble, "Gotta
follow the
timetable to the
letter and then
destroy the
evidence when
we're done...
It'll look like
Ace did all the
dirty work and
that Siegel was
the mastermind...
I'm not worried
about the Mrs...
She'll suffocate
before anyone can
find her..."
_He drifts back
into a deep sleep.

when one has

Too bad Ace! From

It seemed only a

until you reached
the end of your

Sorry pal, you're

(use on CAPSULES on SELF)
It's a dose of
bisodiumitis.
The medicine
begins to work.
Your head starts
to clear and a
memory rolls in
from your
childhood...
It's Father
O'Malley from
the Demille
Boarding School.
Good ol' Padre!
When everyone else
gave up on you, he
was the one who
believed that you
could be someone!
The pain eases!
You feel you might
actually be
getting better!
(second time
It's a dose of
bisodiumitis.
Another memory
suddenly hits you
as the medicine
takes effect...
It's Taco, your
favorite pet dog
from younger days.
Say "Woof",
Taco! Want to
play, Taco?
That's a good boy
Taco! Taco? No
wait, TACO!? WAIT!
Taco sends you to
the hospital for
stitches. On
second thought, he
wasn't really much
of a favorite!
(third time)
It's a dose of
bisodiumitis.
Another flashback
comes unbidden,
signaling _that
your memory has
almost returned...
It's Suzy Q, the
girl next door.
Sweet Suzy Q! She
gave you your
first kiss. You
would have run
away and married
her if you had the
chance!
The pain fully
subsides and you
feel almost
complete as the
last of your
identity returns!
Yes, its coming [sic]
back to you...
Ace? Ace
Harding?...
Something clicks
in your head!
That's it! You;re
Ace Harding,
Private Eye!
[FILE1]
You read the
patient's file.
"ACE HARDING:
During his last
physical was
strongly urged to
quit smoking."
[FILE2]
It's a receipt.
There's a hand
written note near
the bottom which
reads:
"Requested
delivery to Joe's
Place by the
secretary Martha
Vickers."
[FILE3]
It's a patient's
medical record:
"SYMPTOMS:
Fainting. Stomach
pains. Feverish.
Vomiting.
-SYMPTOMS OF
PERITONITIS-
High fever.
Coughing. No
appetite.
Headache.
-SYMPTOMS OF
PNEUMONIA-"
[FILE4]
This contains an
index of
medicines:
"OFREEAL:
Medicine used
in the treatment
of patients with
heart murmurs.
Can be fatal.
MEDREZINE:
Medicine used
in the treatment
of patients
exposed to nerve
gas. Can be fatal.
DIETHANOL TRIMENE:

(If no memory)
Through the pain
wracked daze, you
try to concentrate
upon the
information in
these files...
Another wave of
pain makes that
near impossible!
It's starting to
get real hard to
breath, you don't [sic]
know how much
longer you can
keep going like
this!
[AMMOCASE]
It's a box of
ammo.
[FILE5]
The handwritten
note reads, "Ace,
you owe me and
this is the only
way to get off the
hook.
It's a simple
kidnap job. I have
all the details
worked out.
I have the perfect
wealthy woman all
picked out. You
grab her and
deliver her here
to me.
I'll collect the
ransom and
consider your
gambling debt paid
in full.
But I warn you
that if you bungle
up, you'll take
the rap. You know
I got connections
so don't get cute
with me.
Frankly Ace, you
have no choice in
this. Since you
can't pay me what
you owe, its [sic]
either this or
your life. You
decide!"
[FILE6]
The negligent
scrawl is hard to
read, "Sugar Shack
is known to have a
deep hatred of
Joey Siegel. Must
discover what he
did to her."
[FILE7]
You read the old
newspaper clipping
in the file,
"Sugar Shack used
her little black
book to blackmail
Alderman Tom
Wopat.
Because of the
efforts of private
inverstigator Ace
Harding,
her plot was
discovered and she
is doing 5 years
in Joliet Maximum
Security."
[NOTE1]
It's an IOU.
Scrawled across it
is: "Ace Harding
owes Joey Siegel
$1,000."
Yep, you did owe
Siegel a lot of
money!
[FOLDER]
The faded yellow
of the manila
folder catches
your eye.
[KEY4]
It's the trunk key
for an automobile.
[BOX]
It's a small box.
[GAG]
The gag is made of
white cloth.
[LETTER1]
It is clearly a
ransom note. It
reads, "Sternwood,
we have your wife.
You have exactly
24 hours to come
up with $20,000 or
you will never see
her again.
Place the money in
unmarked bills in
a black briefcase.
Be standing at the
corner of Peoria
and Elm at exactly
12 midnight.
From there you'll
be contacted with
further
instructions.
Remember, no
police or she's a
dead woman!"
[ENVELOPE2]
The name "Mr.
Sternwood" is
pasted on the
envelope using
letters cut out
from newspapers.
[SAUSAGE]
It's a bit of
sliced sausage.
(attempt to eat it)
YUCK! Eating
someone's
leftovers turns
your stomach.
[BOWL1, BOWL2, BOWL3]
It's a small jar.
[PITCHER]
It's a water
pitcher.
But, there's no
water in it... so
maybe it's just a
pitcher.
[DISH]
It's a finely
detailed porcelain
dish.
[FRYING PAN]
This pan was made
for fryin',
and that's just
what you'll do if
you don't stop
wasting time.
(if memory recovered)
Another memory
from your
childhood washes
over you...
it's your mother!
She's baked a cake
for your birthday
Your favorite-
chocolate!
When all the other
kids didn't show
up, you didn't
mind- cause you
still had your
mother!
[MEMO]
It looks to be a
blank notepad.
You notice that
the top sheet of
the pad has many
indentations on
it.
(use PENCIL on it)
You use the pencil
to shade over
the indentations
on the pad... Yes,
you can now read
what was written
on the previous
sheet!
(read after using PENCIL)
"- TIMETABLE -
2:15 AM:
Be sure Joe's
Place is closed up
and everyone is
gone.
2:30 AM:
Put the Mrs. in
the women's stall.
Make sure she is
bound and
unconscious.
2:45 AM:
Be waiting near
the front door for
Ace's arrival.
3:00 AM:
Jump the P.I. and
place him in the
stall. Be sure
he's unconscious.
Use 10cc of
diethanol trimene
on him.
Take his gun and
stuff.
3:15 AM:
Catch Siegel
before he leaves
for the night.
3:30 AM:
Get Joey behind
his desk, then
shoot him with
Ace's gun.
Take his car keys.
3:45 AM:
Plant Siegel's
things on Ace.
Put Ace's gun
back. Make sure
his fingerprints
are on everything.
4:00 AM:
Dump the big old
battleaxe in
Siegel's trunk.
Put map in
glove box.
4:30 AM:
Leave the building
and lock up.
5:00 AM:
On the way home,
plant new Siegel
letter in Ace's
file."
You shake your
head in amazement,
what a setup! And
what a nightmare
too!
If you can't come
up with proof of
your innocence and
bring it to the
cops soon, then
you'll be charged
with murder and
kidnapping.
[BALL PEN]
It's a ball-point
pen
[GLASSES]
It's a pair of
reading glasses.
(use on SELF)
You are unable to
put them on.
They're too big.
[BRIEFCASE]
It's a black
briefcase, the
kind preferred by
kidnappers
everywhere!
[TISSUE]
It's a box of
tissues.
You know how to
use them,
don't you?
You just put one
to your nose and
blow.
[CANDYBOX]
It's a box of
chocolates.
[CANDY]
It's a piece of
chocolate.
(USE on SELF)
You take the
chocolate and pop
it in your mouth.
UGH! Rumballs! You
HATE rumballs!
[LETTER2]
It's a letter that
says, "Sternwood,
this is my final
warning.
Keep away from
Vickers, or
your wife will
learn all the
details.
I don't think your
rich wife will
look too favorably
upon you in her
will after that!
Remember, I'm
watching you. So
stay away from my
girl!"
[ENVELOPE3]
It looks like
a legal-size
envelope.
[HANDBAG]
It's a black
handbag. It looks
big enough to
choke a mule!
[COSMETIC]
It's a makeup kit.
[HANDGUN]
This gun is one of
those "Saturday
Night Specials."
It's easy to come
by on the streets!
And is just as
deadly as a larger
gun!
===============================================================================
|?| D E A T H S |?|
===============================================================================
Note: I just use the word 'deaths' because it's easier to use than
'failures'.
And to think you
had so many dreams
and aspirations!
Too bad Ace! From
the beginning the
odds were stacked
against you!
It seemed only a
matter of time
until you reached
the end of your
adventures.
Sorry pal, you're
history!
[use MEDS2, or Medrezine on yourself!]
Medrezine only
comes in handy
when one has
been given a
lethal dose
of nerve gas.
Since that is not
your case, the
medicine proves to
be fatal!
Your vision swims
and then blackness
takes you as you
quickly lose
consciousness!
Too bad Ace! From
the beginning the
odds were stacked
against you!
It seemed only a
matter of time
until you reached
the end of your
adventures.
Sorry pal, you're
history!
===============================================================================
|| Station Arrests ||
===============================================================================
[Enter without your memory!]
Click! The cops
snap the cuffs on
you!
You are
questioned over
and over anout
your whereabouts
and actions of the
last 24 hours!
Since you can't
remember a thing
you seem the
likeliest
candidate for
committing murder
and kidnapping.
Since you're
unable to cure
your condition,
you spend the
remainder of your
life in a padded
cell in an
institution.
[enter WITHOUT gun, NOT ENOUGH evidence, FAKE evidence.]
You step into the
police station.
The cops quickly
surround you with
their hands on
their clubs and
guns.
They seem very
eager to hear
your story.
But there is too
little evidence
that Sternwood and
Vickers were
involved...
If Sternwood and
Vickers didn't
kill Siegel and
kidnap Mrs.
Sternwood, then
you're the next
best suspect.
The cops uncover
the bad blood
between you and
Siegel and bring
you up on charges.
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
[enter WITH gun]
Click! Cuffed by
the cops.
Your story
interests them so
they investigate
the murder and the
kidnapping.
Various
interesting facts
are brought to
light.
Unfortunately,
they find your
gun among the
evidence.
With your
fingerprints all
over it and the
bullets matched up
with the slugs
pulled from
Siegel's body...
It's basically an
open and shut
case! They don't
buy your story
that Sternwood
and Vickers were
the culprits...
Especially since
the gun is more
than enough proof
that you were
the killer.
Sorry Ace, but it
seems you're out
of luck!
[WITH evidence with you, WITH evidence against you]
You step into the
police station.
The cops quickly
surround you with
their hands on
their clubs and
guns.
They seem very
eager to hear
your story.
Your story and
the three pieces
of evidence made
Sternwood and
Vickers look
suspicious.
But you can't be
certain of that.
The cops find
some incriminating
evidence and
they suspect
YOU committed Joey
Siegel's murder
and kidnapped
Mrs. Sternwood.
The bad blood
between you and
Siegel was well
known.
It doesn't take
them long before
they bring you
before the judge.
The sentence
passed down was
ten years in
maximum security!
Your cell awaits
you at Joliet
Maximum Security
Prison!
