00:01:01Well, now that we're unanimous in approval,
00:01:05let's get on with the other business.
00:01:07Stephen should be here now.
00:01:10He should be, and he is.
00:01:12Good morning, gentlemen.
00:01:14Now, gentlemen,
00:01:16let us get down to the real object of this meeting.
00:01:19I have just made an investment.
00:01:21The greatest coop in the gen market.
00:01:23And it only costs $200,000.
00:01:27The Jarvis Diamond.
00:01:29The Jarvis Diamond?
00:01:34My, this is not a coop, it's a disaster.
00:01:36One moment, gentlemen.
00:01:37You're letting your imagination run away with you.
00:01:39The trail of death and destruction behind that diamond
00:01:42is not imagination.
00:01:43Davis, I'm not superstitious,
00:01:46but I'd suggest that we get rid of that stone
00:01:48before we too feel its curse.
00:01:50Nonsense.
00:01:51How can a piece of glass bring anybody hard luck?
00:01:53Besides, Davis has a plan for getting rid of it
00:01:55at a substantial profit.
00:01:57Exactly.
00:01:58I intend to have the diamond cut up
00:02:00so that when it is sold,
00:02:01its reputation will not be known.
00:02:03That's fine.
00:02:04That's a good idea.
00:02:05Now you're talking.
00:02:06But for the very objections that you bring up,
00:02:09the cutting must be with the utmost secrecy.
00:02:12Do you remember Peter Lanning?
00:02:14Of course.
00:02:15He was one of the finest diamond cutters in the world.
00:02:17No, but he retired years ago.
00:02:19I've already been in touch with him.
00:02:20He's been ill and is recuperating
00:02:22in the little town of San Juan.
00:02:24I think I can get him to cut the stone.
00:02:26Oh, that'll be fine.
00:02:27Maybe that'll break the curse, too.
00:02:29Then I take it you gentlemen are satisfied
00:02:31to leave the matter entirely in my hands.
00:02:33All right.
00:02:34Certainly.
00:02:35I suppose so.
00:02:36Certainly.
00:02:37Why not?
00:02:39Or...
00:02:40Or...
00:02:56Now, Stevens,
00:02:57do you mind telling me just
00:02:59why you require my particular talent?
00:03:01First, let me ask you.
00:03:03Would $5,000 increase your blood pressure?
00:03:06Not a degree.
00:03:08I mean more than that on the horses yesterday.
00:03:10$10,000.
00:03:12$25,000.
00:03:14That's extortion.
00:03:15I couldn't.
00:03:17If you're going to jump from $5,000 to $10,000
00:03:19as fast as that,
00:03:21it must be mighty important.
00:03:23$15,000.
00:03:25It's a deal.
00:03:27Now, what do I do, and where do I do it?
00:03:30The Jarvis diamond is going to be cut up
00:03:32into smaller stones.
00:03:34I want them.
00:03:35I want them.
00:03:37Been dabbling in the market again?
00:03:39Well...
00:03:41Diamonds.
00:03:44Awfully hot stuff to dispose of.
00:03:46You don't have to worry about that.
00:03:48All you have to do is put them in my hands
00:03:50and cut your $15,000.
00:03:51For $15,000, Stevens,
00:03:54I'll set the Golden Gate Bridge right in your lap.
00:03:56The stone will be sent to the cutter in a few days.
00:03:59I'll let you know before it leaves.
00:04:00Who's handling the job?
00:04:02A man named Peter Lanning.
00:04:03Lives in San Juan.
00:04:05San Juan, huh?
00:04:13Hey, what kind of a burg is this San Juan, anyway?
00:04:17And I want these girls to know what it's all about.
00:04:19I got you.
00:04:23Oh!
00:04:25You're the clumsiest thing.
00:04:28Say, what are we going to be doing down there?
00:04:31I don't know yet.
00:04:32It's the only thing I haven't figured out.
00:04:35Let's go.
00:04:41Telegram for John Henry Morgan.
00:04:42Okay, I'll sign it.
00:04:55What's the matter? You glued there?
00:04:57Oh, you want a tip?
00:05:00Here's a tip, kid.
00:05:01Bet on tough luck in the third race tomorrow.
00:05:04Well, go on. Get going.
00:05:09Thanks very much.
00:05:10Get going.
00:05:23Warren, don't leave the kid alone.
00:05:27Pretty good one, too, kid. Where'd you learn it?
00:05:29Oh, I fight a little bit now and then.
00:05:31Can't afford to quit my job and take it up serious.
00:05:33I think you've got something there.
00:05:35Don't give it up.
00:05:36For you, boss.
00:05:41This is for the fight fund.
00:05:43Oh, thanks.
00:05:44Thanks very much.
00:05:45Good night.
00:05:46Good night.
00:05:47Everything all the same?
00:05:49Everything but your jaw.
00:05:51Oh, I'm not kidding.
00:05:55Al!
00:05:56Come here.
00:05:57Shorty.
00:05:58Don't let that messenger boy get away.
00:06:01Dave!
00:06:03You girls catch yourself a drink.
00:06:05Oh, honey.
00:06:06Go on, move.
00:06:10Sit down here, boys.
00:06:15This is the message that we've been waiting for.
00:06:18Al, you're taking the boys to San Juan tomorrow.
00:06:21I'll follow.
00:06:23When we get there, we don't know each other.
00:06:25Say, I never forget it, pal.
00:06:27You'd better this time.
00:06:28You'll sure feel good to get in action again.
00:06:30But you still haven't told us what we're supposed to be doing there.
00:06:33I didn't know myself until a minute ago.
00:06:36That messenger boy gave me an excellent idea.
00:06:39We're going to train for a fight.
00:06:41The battling messenger boy?
00:06:42Exactly.
00:06:44We're going to back him and train him for the ring.
00:06:46But don't let him get wise, it's just a stall.
00:06:48Say, what did we put up in this San Juan?
00:06:51I'll tell Al all about it.
00:06:53The rest of you will take orders from him.
00:07:01San Juan, San Juan.
00:07:13Hey, I'm good for three or four more miles, Jack. Come on.
00:07:16Hey, that ought to be enough. I'm getting awful tired.
00:07:19So am I. Let's quit.
00:07:21Sure, tomorrow's another day.
00:07:23How about a poker game, boys?
00:07:24Now you're talking.
00:07:25All right, kid, get in.
00:07:26You can finish training down at the gym.
00:07:28Yeah, but listen, I'm just getting warmed up.
00:07:33Hey, listen, you guys, I want to train.
00:07:35All right, junior, I'll buy you a little electric one.
00:07:38What are you, a smart guy?
00:07:59Thank you, Dad. Sorry to disturb you.
00:08:01No trouble, Dorothy.
00:08:02The cook's busy and all he's upstairs someplace.
00:08:04Who's that?
00:08:05A new man. He's out at the barn, I think.
00:08:07Another one of those trainers of Kid Harris?
00:08:09No, my dear. He's a writer, I believe.
00:08:11Oh, that's a relief. Did you give him a room?
00:08:13No, I told him he'd have to see you.
00:08:15But you ran this place.
00:08:16Did you also tell him that?
00:08:17No, I didn't.
00:08:18Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:19Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:20Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:21Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:22Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:23Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:24Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:25Well, I'm afraid I did.
00:08:26You ran this place.
00:08:27Did you also tell him that I ran you too?
00:08:29No, I thought he'd find that out soon enough.
00:08:33Miss Lanning?
00:08:34Yes?
00:08:35I spoke to your father about a room.
00:08:37So he told me.
00:08:38I have one upstairs, the left front room,
00:08:40which I think you'll find nice and quiet.

00:14:27Yes you did. That's good. What do you mean that's good. What are you laughing at.
00:14:33Why. Oh Mr. Carter. I thought you two should get acquainted since you're both bringing
00:14:38walking Marietta back to life. Mr. Carter Mr. Moreland. How are you getting along.
00:14:45Fine. How are you getting along. Oh. Of course I'm just getting into my subject
00:14:51but I find it very interesting. Yes. How about you. I'm in exactly the same boat.
00:14:56A sort of feeling my way. It takes time you know. Yes it does doesn't it. But let's
00:15:04not talk shop. No. That's just what I was thinking. We might mislead each other. Right.
00:15:11Well it's just about time for my walk. Oh nice day for a walk. Yes it is a nice day
00:15:17isn't it. So if you will excuse me Mr. Moreland. Oh certainly. I'll see you. Yes good.
00:15:26Have you any books on Joaquin Marietta. I'm sorry that gentleman over there has them all.
00:15:56Oh hello. Very colorful. A very fascinating subject. Yes I suppose so. Aren't you interested
00:16:14in diamonds. No not particularly. Are you. They've played a very important part in history.
00:16:22Sometimes a very dangerous part. What I came over to ask was if I might borrow one of these
00:16:30books on Joaquin Marietta. Certainly help yourself. Thank you. You're welcome.
00:16:37Marietta. If that guy Carter knows anything about Marietta I'll buy that library and give
00:16:48it to Chuck for a birthday present. Who me. I've already got a book. Yeah and maybe someday
00:16:53you'll learn to read it. Hey professor. Moreland's the name. Oh yeah I forgot.
00:16:59You suppose that guy could be after the diamond the same as we are. We'll have to keep our eyes
00:17:04on him. He's trying to muscle in on our game. You'll soon run out of muscle. Get on out there
00:17:11and I'll look after the kid. Better not come back here again. We can't take any chances.
00:17:26Come on come on. Put a little pep into that you're dying on your feet.
00:17:29Oh what's the difference. I don't seem to be having any fights coming up anyhow.
00:17:33Well you ain't seen yet. Oh no. No you couldn't even flatten a marshmallow in your condition.
00:17:37Al said so and he knows. Yeah well I still think I can do pretty good with you.
00:17:42I doubt both of you. Now you get this kid. When I do match you it ain't going to be with any
00:17:46ham and egg or it's got to be a tough spot. Now get going. Okay Al I'm sorry. You better keep your
00:17:52trap closed Chuck. Well what did I do? Nothing nothing. Just lay off the kid. You spoil this
00:17:58deal and you'll never have a chance to spoil anything else. All right Al but I'm kind of
00:18:02getting nervous hanging around here waiting for that ice. Listen looks like we'll be over anytime
00:18:07now. How do you know? Self-inspired? Looks that way. The boss wants us to meet him tonight.
00:18:12Where? They're opening a new roadhouse here. The Murrieta Inn. He wants us to meet him there.
00:18:17I saw that spot the other day. Say it's about time something was happening.
00:18:22What's that you're drawing Al? Oh I was trying to figure out how old man Lanning's going to
00:18:26crack up that diamond. Yeah that must be a pretty risky business. Risky? Huh if that guy
00:18:33misses by a fraction of an inch he'll wreck the whole works.
00:19:03Well hello Mr. Carter. Well this is a pleasure Miss Lanning. Are you gathering inspiration?
00:19:24As a matter of fact inspiration just walked into me. Oh do you recognize it? Oh my dear lady do
00:19:29we have to be introduced all over again? After a charming reply like that I feel I must show you
00:19:34something which may be of real value in your writings concerning Joaquin Murrieta. Thank you.
00:19:39Right over there where that barn stands Joaquin once hid in an old well.
00:19:43How interesting. Do you mind showing me? Not at all. Come along.
00:19:46Hello. Hello. What a man. Look would you like to go for a nice long walk? Oh do you want to go
00:20:02for a walk? No I don't want to go but I thought maybe you would. Oh I don't like to walk by myself
00:20:08besides I like this much better than that silly rope skipping. By the way did you ever get that
00:20:14rope fixed? Look you shouldn't hang around here. Why not? Well this is no place for children I mean.
00:20:21Children? Well all right a woman's place is in the home. Is that why you left me standing here
00:20:27the other day? No I left you standing here the other day because I thought it would teach you
00:20:30to stay away. Well if that's the way you feel about me. You're not leaving are you?
00:20:38Don't you want me to go? Well sure I want you to go but I just wanted to make sure when you were
00:20:43going to leave. He's not so tough on it loud. How about it kid?
00:20:53Oh. Oh. Oh are you hurt? Get out of the way. Why you big.
00:21:03Oh let me see that poor eye. Never mind my poor eye will you?
00:21:08Please let me look.
00:21:13A smart guy huh?
00:21:20What'd you have to come in here for anyhow? No you were gonna get in trouble.
00:21:38Oh why did you hit him in the abdomen again?
00:21:43Oh.
00:21:53I'll handle you.
00:22:14But don't do that. Don't you dare. I'll tell my aunt.
00:22:24There's another interesting spot at the corner of the barn. That so? Right here they claim
00:22:29Murrieta was wounded the second time he tried to get into the well. That's very interesting.
00:22:35What's that?
00:22:43Stop him please. Hey lay off of that kid. Who do you think you are?
00:22:50Hey wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't get excited. Nobody's mad. I'm glad to hear that.
00:22:56I was just wondering whether to train the kid or to kill him. Big mug looked like he was trying
00:23:00to choke him to death. Who him? Why he wouldn't hurt the kid for anything in the world. Would you
00:23:08Who me? I'm just crazy about him. Swell fella. I'm so sorry. I guess it was all my fault.
00:23:16Only I didn't think it would turn out so so violent. Hey are you all right?
00:23:24And no I don't think so. Oh I'm gonna faint.
00:23:30Hey what's hey hey get a doctor somebody. Don't stand there do something.
00:23:37Why don't you do something? I don't know what to do. Maybe I can help.
00:23:41Uh they say cold water's awfully good for fainting spells. Oh is it?
00:23:48Babe wait.
00:23:52As one woman to another that's fine cooperation.
00:23:59Well what's eating her? Let's go out your little friends here kid. Hey you know I think that was a
00:24:05frame. I'll drop in anytime. Thanks.
00:24:13Just a little game we were playing. Oh I see uh you play a lot of little games don't you?
00:24:22Thanks for the help. I sure needed it. You seem to be doing pretty good. Hey you know these guys
00:24:27don't seem to care whether I get into condition or not. I'm getting pretty fed up with the whole
00:24:32thing. I want to ask you something.
00:24:36Tell me is Al the boss? Well I thought he was but he said something about meeting the boss tonight.
00:24:42Yeah where here? No uh up at the Murriette Inn. It's it's a new joint that's opening up the line.
00:24:50Say girls. Sorry to keep you waiting but I just got a great idea. What do you say we all go
00:24:56someplace tonight? There's a new roadhouse opening up near here. Would you like to go? Oh come now.
00:25:02Surely the landing house can do without us charming hostess for one evening. Yvonne would you like to
00:25:07go? Gee yeah. Would you? Who me? No no I gotta stay here and train. Oh you can take your rope along.
00:25:13Come on don't be no meanie. Leave me alone. How about you? Say I started this. You girls be ready
00:25:21in an hour? I'm ready right now. I have responsibilities. Make it an hour and a half.
00:25:25Sold to the lady at my right for an hour and a half. All right. Come along Yvonne. See you later.
00:25:33See you later. I thought you said you had an idea.
00:25:43Come on Lee aren't you gonna dance? Nah. Oh come on Lee let's dance. I don't want to dance.
00:25:48Well what did we come here for? That's what I'd like to hear. Say my aunt doesn't let me go out
00:25:53like this often. I thought we were gonna have a swell time. You call dancing a swell time? Of course.
00:26:00Oh come on let's dance. No. Come on. Hey cut it out. You got anybody looking at you? Oh well.
00:26:23Oh I think. Hi. So it's you. Yeah it's me. Why do you lay off that stuff? Pardon us?
00:26:42Lee can't you pick up your feet a little bit? Well that's what I am doing.
00:26:46Well try keeping the moments slower.
00:27:00I made up my mind I'd finish that dance even if it killed me. Did it? Pretty near. That's nice.
00:27:07Well good evening gentlemen. Hello. Good evening Mr. Marlin. Won't you join us? Thanks. I will.
00:27:26Has the diamond arrived yet? I got word from Stevens. It should be here the first thing
00:27:30tomorrow morning. Great then we can grab it off and get away from here. Not so fast. You mean we're
00:27:36going to have to stick around here longer? What are you squawking about? You're getting paid for it aren't you?
00:27:43The deal I made was to get the stuff as soon as the diamond had been cut up.
00:27:47That's the way it's going to be. Hey Jerry come here. Look who just joined our little playmates over there.
00:27:55Hey they said they were going to meet the boss. I wonder if this guy...
00:28:00I'll be right back. Where are you going? I'm going out and peel a fish. Really? Oh the kid's looking
00:28:05very promising Mr. Marlin. Oh hi Lee. Hey who's this for you? Nobody sent for me. Hey listen I'm
00:28:11getting tired of being pushed around and shoved aside. Who's the boss of this outfit anyway?
00:28:15What do you mean boss? You heard me. Hey are you mixed up in this? Are you speaking to me my boy?
00:28:22Listen to you. I took you on and I'm handling you and I'll do as I please with you. Now don't get
00:28:27fresh with Mr. Marlin. Why? I'm afraid there's a little misunderstanding here. These gentlemen
00:28:32were just telling me how interested they are in you and what a grand plan for you. Yeah it must be
00:28:37swell. I haven't even got a sparring partner. A sparring partner? I think the boy's right.
00:28:43Where are we going to get a sparring partner around here? Well that shouldn't be difficult.
00:28:50Will you excuse me a minute?
00:28:53Good evening Mr. Marlin. Do you find that this uh nightlife helps you with your book on Murrieta?
00:28:59Anything help yours? My visit here is purely social. Mine was prompted by curiosity.
00:29:04Fortunately I ran into some continual friends. Friends? I thought they were just mere acquaintances.
00:29:11Hey listen I've known the professor ever since. Give me a light. Professor? Oh uh just a nickname.
00:29:17Lots of writers are called professor. I'll probably be calling you that next. Yes. Have a drink? No thanks.
00:29:23Just stopped by to say hello. We've already left the girls too long. Hey listen don't forget that
00:29:28sparring partner. No I won't. Did you know this fellow Morlin before you came here? No but there's
00:29:42another guy in that bunch I've never seen. A fellow named Morgan. That's how I met him while I was
00:29:46delivering a telegram to him. Morgan huh? Sounds sort of like Morlin doesn't it? Morgan. Professor.
00:29:54Hey I never... Righter. So am I. Yeah I think he's a phony. I'm gonna go. Shut up. Another break
00:30:01without that last one you'll be going home without seeing the scenery. I just said I was gonna go get a drink.
00:30:13I'll join you all a little later. There's something I want to find out. Can I go with you?
00:30:16No you stay here with the girls.
00:30:25How about a drink on me old man? No. How about a pink lady? What a brunette. Never mind skip it.
00:30:33I'll take mine straight. Get over there quick before Chuck starts shooting off his mouth again.
00:30:37We're just about to buy our friend a drink. How about you boys? Thanks we can buy our own drinks.
00:30:48All right have it your way.
00:30:52I just want to be friendly that's all.
00:30:57Can I get you something sir? Oh no no thanks. I'm just leaving. Yes sir.
00:31:02Hey that little messenger boy's getting to be quite a problem.
00:31:09Yeah now we got to dig up a sparring partner for him. Yeah and who can we get?
00:31:16Sparring partner? Say I'm the best man you could possibly get partner. Shut up and sit down.
00:31:21Oh I'll show you. You want to fight? Keep your mouth shut before I... Wait a minute.
00:31:26You want a job as a sparring partner? That's what I said.
00:31:29You see that fellow sitting over there? The one that was just over here? That's the fella.
00:31:33Well if you can whip him the job's yours. Yeah well you just watch me. I'll get him with one hand.
00:31:39Watch. Well that ought to start something. Yeah that ought to take care of our palsy-wowsy.
00:31:46Those guys will ever get me in sight? Oh sure kid. Hey how'd you like me to take you to the
00:31:51What? I'm gonna make it legal. I'm gonna sock you. Oh go away.
00:31:57This guy is crazy. What's the matter with you? Hey what's the idea? Yeah. Get off of me.
00:32:20Come here. Boys that's a chance of a lifetime. Will that cop escape?
00:32:44Go to it pal. That's a little better than I could do.
00:32:51Hey.
00:33:06Look what you've done.
00:33:20Oh thank you.
00:33:51Oh it's for my father only. I'll give it to him. Oh thank you.
00:34:10Come in.
00:34:13Here's a package for you daddy. Looks like shoes. When did you buy them?
00:34:17Those are not shoes my dear. Something far more interesting. What is it? I'll curiously kill the cat.
00:34:36This is it Dorothy. What is it daddy? The Jarvis diamond. Just think of it. That?
00:34:43That looks like a big lump of glass. Now perhaps into the untrained eye. But wait Dorothy. It's
00:34:49marvelous. Priceless. Yes I know but I can't imagine sitting here in an old shoe box.
00:34:56Where the package wasn't even insured. Exactly. So it's here safer and more quietly
00:35:01than if it had arrived with an escort of armed guards.
00:35:05You uh you lose something master? Oh yes. Yes. Nice. It's a glad letter.
00:35:14Oh oh here it is. Oh that's nice. Yes yes very nice.
00:35:25Here are the reports of several experts. And there's a letter.
00:35:31Here are the reports of several experts. Hans Goulden. He's a master craftsman.
00:35:38Jacob Carr. He's mighty good too. These will save a lot of time.
00:35:50Some guy hit me with a table down that roadhouse last night and nearly broke my back.
00:35:55Not quite a bottle down to my head.
00:36:02What's the matter Chuck? Still suffering from last night?
00:36:06Oh don't do that. Uh-uh. You're getting soft Chuck. You're getting soft.
00:36:14Hey next time you want to start something you better pick a place where they don't like fighting
00:36:17so well. Oh yeah?
00:36:47So
00:37:47do you want to dance now? No not now. Well something I want to find out. What do you want
00:37:57to find out? Uh nothing. Well then what'd you ask me for? Ask you what? What what you just asked me.
00:38:08I didn't ask you anything. Well you did too. What'd you say? Oh you mean just when I said just now?
00:38:14Yes. I was wondering would you up a second floor of the same room down around the room there with
00:38:18a key? What? You can't bounce a meatball. Why not? Because. Oh sit down will you? Let me alone.
00:38:33Well good evening everybody. Oh here he is. What somebody want to see me? He does.
00:38:38What do you want Lee? Oh uh nothing nothing special. I where you been? I've been looking for you.
00:38:46Out for a walk. Anything special? No I just wanted to say hello. All right hello.
00:38:56Hello. Well I guess I better go up and clean up a bit. See you all later.
00:39:02Is that all you wanted to say to Jerry? Just hello? Yvonne. Yeah. What do you think of Jerry?
00:39:11Well I think he's darling. Oh no I don't mean that. Well what do you mean? I mean what kind of a guy
00:39:17do you think he is? Do you really think he's a writer? Why of course. What else could he be?
00:39:23That's what I'd like to know. He seems kind of kind of mysterious to me. Oh you've been reading
00:39:28too many detective stories. Maybe you're right. Say what did you say about those meatballs?
00:39:38Nothing only you can't bounce them. Why not? Well because what'd you say? Oh you never listen to me.
00:39:49I can talk my head off and... I'll say you can. Excuse me.
00:39:58Excuse me.
00:40:19Come in. You busy? No just cleaning some of the mud off my shoes. Come in.
00:40:29Make yourself at home.
00:40:36What's on your mind Lee? Oh nothing. Hey listen what were you doing playing peep and time I don't
00:40:43What's on your mind Lee? Oh nothing. Hey listen what were you doing playing peep and time outside
00:40:49Mr. Lanning's window? So you recognize me. You're darn tootin'. I was just checking up on Mr. Lanning.
00:40:56Oh just checking up huh? You know they put guys in jail for that kind of checking up.
00:41:01Wait a minute kid. I guess I'll have to let you in on something but you've got to keep it in strict
00:41:07confidence. Have I your word? Sure only I don't see what right that gives you. Mr. Lanning has in his
00:41:12possession the Jarvis diamond. Ever hear of it? No. It's worth over a quarter of a million dollars.
00:41:20Boy I've heard of that. Gosh I don't blame you for wanting to kipe it.
00:41:24Well that's where you're wrong. I wasn't trying to steal the diamond.
00:41:28Well then what were you doing peeking in the guy's window?
00:41:33Look at this.
00:41:33You? Yes. Gee I'm sorry. Why didn't you tell a guy you were a flatfoot?
00:41:46Well in cases like this one usually doesn't go around telling everybody his business.
00:41:50Oh. Everything okay now? Well sure. Listen if I can ever help you you just let me know.
00:41:56I think I'd make a swell detective. Thanks and I may have to call on you. Gee that'd be keen.
00:42:03Shall we go downstairs now? Okay partner. Good.
00:42:14Come in.
00:42:18Now dad you must get some rest. You've been at this night and day. Oh it won't be much longer.
00:42:23But your health is more important than all the diamonds in the world. You'll just have to rest.
00:42:27But I'm through. See I'm ready for the cutting. I'm going to wire Mr. Davis tonight.
00:42:32But daddy dear you look so tired. Oh now don't you worry about me. I'll be all right.
00:42:45Well professor. I see you received my message all right. I'm here aren't I? What's up? Anything new?
00:42:52Lanning wired Davis last night. Giving his estimate of loss and the possible value of
00:42:56the cuts and so forth. And he's... How much does the old man think the stones will be worth when
00:43:00finished? Why do you ask? I'm just curious. Three hundred thousand. Davis wired his acceptance
00:43:07and Lanning is going to start cutting immediately. And as soon as he's finished
00:43:11time to get the diamonds? Right. Three hundred thousand.
00:43:18Stevens I think we better make a new deal. You already have a deal for fifteen thousand.
00:43:25Do you think that's quite fair? Considering? Considering what? That I'm taking all the risk
00:43:32and you're getting all the gravy? It was your bargain wasn't it?
00:43:38Okay Stevens. We'll let it go at that. Now you're talking sense. We better get started immediately.
00:43:43Let me start first. I want to get back to my eye on things. I think you're right. We can't be too careful.
00:43:49Give me five minutes to start.
00:44:50Come in darling.
00:44:55Dad look.
00:45:05Mr. Stevens. I don't know him. Terrible isn't it? Is that all you see in this accident?
00:45:11What else is there? The curse of that diamond. As a member of the firm Stevens was a part owner.
00:45:16Oh my child. You're letting your imagination run away with you. Maybe but I'll be glad when you
00:45:21send it back. In pieces. Here. Look how well I'm getting along. Dad you're letting this job
00:45:28take too much out of you. Nonsense. I enjoy it. Will you have some lunch today? No. Just tea.
00:45:34Oh pipe down. I want to get some sleep.
00:45:48Hey why don't you cut out that road work? The rest will do you good.
00:45:51Yeah well the exercise will do you good.
00:45:53I'll break your neck for that. Oh yeah?
00:46:23Here here here. What is all this? Oh nothing. I'm just trying to get this guy to give me a workout.
00:46:34And he doesn't want to? No. I should think you'd want to keep your protégé in training.
00:46:39He's only fooling work with kid. Well sure. Come on ambitious. Thanks very much.
00:46:45Am I finally going to get a workout? Yeah you're really going to get a workout.
00:46:53Now this is the tea. Yeah. And this is the hot water. And don't you forget about it.
00:47:23So
00:47:41who's there?
00:47:54Your father don't like this. He ain't so smart so I think he is.
00:48:01No he'll be hungry enough. He hasn't had a bite to eat all day.
00:48:04Are the potatoes ready Nelda? Already ma'am.
00:48:13Where did you get that? Beloved hungry. Did I ever see you when you wasn't?
00:48:18Get back up there and do the dishes. Go on you.
00:48:24So
00:48:41Dad
00:48:53Dad
00:49:02What is it Dorothy? Have you seen Dad? No I haven't.
00:49:08Have you seen Dad? Is he up there? No he's not up there.
00:49:11What's wrong? It's Dad. He's gone. He's disappeared.
00:49:13No nonsense. He must be outside. Have you seen him any of you?
00:49:16No I haven't seen him. There you see.
00:49:18Well maybe he went outside for a walk. No he wouldn't go and take the diamonds with him.
00:49:22They're gone too. Diamonds? What diamonds?
00:49:25What do you think? Dad had a secret commission lately.
00:49:27A very valuable diamond was sent to him to be cut up into smaller stones.
00:49:31And the stone he cut up was the Jarvis diamond. The Jarvis diamond?
00:49:34I just know something's happened to him. I was afraid when he took it.
00:49:38Don't worry we'll find him. Come on we'll search every room.
00:49:40Yeah we'll find him.
00:49:52Hey what are you doing in here?
00:50:09What? I came to get the tea things. He won't need them now.
00:50:13How do you know? Who do you think you're talking to young man?
00:50:17What are you doing here? Well I come looking for Mr. Landers.
00:50:21Well so did I.
00:50:27What shall I do with this? Oh just put it down there. I'll take care of it.
00:50:31Sorry you told everyone about those diamonds. Why?
00:50:35It won't help your father wherever he is. It might hurt.
00:50:38There's a streak of larceny in most of us you know.
00:50:41Why do you think that? It's my business for one thing.
00:50:47I was sent here by the insurance company to protect those diamonds.
00:50:51Oh so that's all you're worrying about. Well I wouldn't care if those diamonds
00:50:55never showed up as long as I knew the dad was safe.
00:50:59Dorothy dear I'm going to search every foot of this lower floor myself.
00:51:03I'll find him. You'll see.
00:51:06Oh poor Dorothy. I feel so sorry for her. She's terribly upset.
00:51:11Well maybe a bit of tea will perk her up a bit.
00:51:14Oh I could use a little of that myself. Say look at that.
00:51:19Why that bag of tea hasn't discolored that water one bit.
00:51:22Well let me see that. Oh for goodness.
00:51:30What is it? Oh my land.
00:51:36Where'd Dorothy go? I don't know. I haven't seen her.
00:51:40Oh for heaven's sake. Well I've got to find her.
00:51:43I found the diamonds. Auntie really?
00:51:46Did they find Mr. Lanning? No not yet.
00:51:48Oh I've got to get rid of these horrid things.
00:51:52Oh I can't do that. First thing you know I'll be disappearing too.
00:51:59Now you stay right here and keep your eye on them. I'll find Dorothy.
00:52:02Yes auntie.
00:52:16Ah kids.
00:52:35Oh oh don't. Don't what?
00:52:39Oh. Oh nothing.
00:52:43All right I won't.
00:52:44But we haven't read it yet.
00:52:46Well I'll bring it back. I just want to read this.
00:52:55Oh dear.
00:53:07Well what's the matter?
00:53:08I mean one of those terrible fight men. You know the one they call Chuck Gamedallas.
00:53:12I got the paper and the diamonds too.
00:53:15What? I tried to stop him but he got away before I could.
00:53:19He went upstairs. I saw him.
00:53:22Well I'll get them back and stop your sniveling.
00:53:33Come in.
00:53:37Excuse me.
00:53:42Did you get it? He was undressed.
00:53:49Auntie.
00:53:50Oh I didn't go in but someone will have to.
00:53:53Well I can't. I know it but who can we get?
00:53:56I couldn't find a trace of him outside.
00:53:58Just the one.
00:53:59One what?
00:54:00That man Chuck took our newspaper up in these rooms.
00:54:02Would you get it for us?
00:54:03Well sure I'll get it for you.
00:54:04And don't open it. Bring it just as it is.
00:54:06Why?
00:54:07Now don't ask a lot of silly questions. Get the paper. It's very important.
00:54:13Say have the sparklers shown up yet?
00:54:16No. You know Chuck I wonder if the professor could be pulling a fast one on us.
00:54:20Well I wouldn't put it behind.
00:54:22Well we'll soon find out. Come on.
00:54:28What do you want?
00:54:29Well nothing. I just want to get the newspaper.
00:54:37The diamonds.
00:54:43I'll get it.
00:54:58Boys we're all set.
00:54:59I've got him. Dave warm up the car.
00:55:02Okay chief.
00:55:02Get your things together and park the car right there in the driveway.
00:55:05Get going.
00:55:08Oh there he is Jerry.
00:55:10Oh Lee. Lee are you all right?
00:55:13What happened Lee?
00:55:15Oh did I hurt you?
00:55:18Oh I did. I'm so sorry.
00:55:23Hey that isn't me.
00:55:25What?
00:55:25Listen.
00:55:33Hey Jerry look.
00:55:38It's Mr. Ranney.
00:55:40It was Mr. Moreland.
00:55:45I remember now. It was Moreland.
00:55:48He clipped me on the chin and then he took the diamonds.
00:55:50Stop him before he gets away.
00:55:55Come on kid let's get him.
00:55:56Listen you stay here and take care of him.
00:55:57All right.
00:56:03Just a moment professor.
00:56:06I'll take those. Get him Lee.
00:56:10Jerry look out.
00:56:12Here we go.
00:56:19Get that kid.
00:56:30Hey where are you going?
00:56:39Oh
00:57:10so
00:57:18quick
00:57:40so
00:57:55so
00:58:10so
00:58:26so
00:58:40What are you trying to do? Get this thing started!
00:58:42Look, here they come!
00:58:44All right, Professor, alias Mr. Morland, I think you've got a little present for me.
00:59:12I got a present for you, too.
00:59:15All right, you get in the back seat there. Lee, get at the wheel.
00:59:19Okay.
00:59:20Take these boys down to the station.
00:59:22Hey, Chuck.
00:59:23What do you want?
00:59:24You know, I got a hunch you ain't gonna look so good in stripes.
00:59:26Uh-uh.
00:59:27Come on, Lee.
00:59:30Now, that one false move, I'm gonna...
00:59:36You know, you know what I think?
00:59:38I think that Jerry took a run-off on her on you.
00:59:42I don't think he's ever coming back.
00:59:44Would you like to bet?
00:59:46No, but, you know, since he caught those crooks and had them put in jail,
00:59:49and you know he saved a diamond,
00:59:51well, he's turned out to be nothing but a great...
00:59:54Smile when you say that!
00:59:55Hi, Jerry!
00:59:56Jerry!
01:00:04What?
01:00:05What do you think about that?
01:00:12Well...
01:00:14He's a better detective than I thought he was.
01:00:20You're so cute.
