00:00 Joe, Joe, baby, listen, give me a break.
00:12 What do you expect me to dig up 1,500 clams between now and midnight?
00:15 You had time.
00:16 Why didn't you get it?
00:17 Well, I tried.
00:18 I tried every place.
00:19 So you didn't try hard enough.
00:20 Look, Joe, give me a week.
00:25 I'll make it good in a week.
00:26 You've had a week.
00:27 I know I've had a week already, but Joe, look.
00:32 Okay, get it by tomorrow night.
00:36 Sure.
00:37 Sure, Joe.
00:38 Tomorrow night.
00:39 My place.
00:40 Your place.
00:41 9.30.
00:42 9.30.
00:43 Have it, understand?
00:44 Yeah, yeah, I'll have it.
00:45 I'm home.
01:00 Hey, where do you think you're going?
01:16 I'm sorry.
01:17 I'm sorry.
01:24 I'm sorry.
01:33 A compulsive killer of women stalks a town.
01:48 This man has seen the killer.
01:50 He doesn't know it yet, but as sure as my name is Boris Karloff, he will meet the killer
01:56 again and will recognize him.
02:00 You or I will turn him in, but this man uses the murderer for a most bizarre purpose.
02:12 Knock 312.
02:15 That's the name of our story.
02:19 And our principal players are Mr. Joe Moross, Miss Beverly Garland, Mr. Charles Aidman,
02:28 and Mr. Warren Oates.
02:32 Knock 312.
02:35 That friendly knock will cause a lovely woman to open a door with terrifying consequences.
02:42 Let me warn you, ladies.
02:44 If you hear that knock at the next hour, do not open your door.
02:49 Just sit there and enjoy the tingling suspense of this thriller.
03:18 Knock 312.
03:22 Knock 312.
03:26 Knock 312.
03:29 Hello, honey.
03:33 After five.
03:36 Where have you been?
03:39 I was out.
03:42 All last night, all today?
04:03 I've got to talk to you, Ruthie.
04:06 Then talk.
04:07 Look, can you call the restaurant and tell them you're not coming in tonight?
04:10 What for?
04:12 Are you going to take me out on the town?
04:22 Ruthie, all last night and all today, I've been trying to get that money.
04:29 You've got to help me out, Ruthie.
04:31 I told you, Ray, over and over, I can't.
04:34 You mean you won't.
04:36 You've got that savings account of yours, 4,000 bucks.
04:38 Yes, that's right. I've got it right here.
04:40 That's my money, Ray.
04:41 I worked hard for it for years.
04:42 Now you're not going to get any of it, not anymore.
04:46 Am I your husband or what?
04:47 I don't know.
04:48 You tell me.
04:49 Night after night, one bar to another, you're never home.
04:54 I'm a liquor salesman.
04:55 How do you expect me to sell liquor if I don't go into bars?
04:58 Is that why you owe those men $1,500, because you sell?
05:00 Oh, no, but you're gambling.
05:02 In the back room of those bars.
05:04 The poker, the horse races, the dice, night after night after night.
05:08 Honey.
05:18 I'm scared, Ruthie.
05:23 You don't know these guys, Joey Bedell and the others.
05:27 If I don't pay up by tonight, 9.30,
05:33 well, it might be kind of rough.
05:36 Oh, Ray.
05:38 You've lied to me so often.
05:42 Ruthie, if you've ever believed me in my life,
05:48 believe me now.
05:50 You've got to.
05:51 These guys are going to kill me.
05:54 For $1,500?
05:56 Gamblers like these?
05:58 They're not kidding this time. Honey, believe me.
06:00 I believed you before, and what happened?
06:02 It went right down the drain.
06:04 I'm sorry. I just can't believe you anymore.
06:07 Ruthie.
06:09 I'm not going to give you the money, Ray.
06:14 I never thought I'd have the courage to say that.
06:17 But I don't believe you anymore.
06:20 Not now, not for months.
06:22 There was over $6,000 in that banking account,
06:25 and I've dipped into it for you over and over again.
06:28 And it's always been the same.
06:30 You've just been using it for your gambling.
06:32 Well, there's just got to be an end to it somewhere.
06:35 There's just got to be a stopping point.
06:38 Ruthie.
06:40 Ruthie, listen.
06:44 (door slams)
06:47 (door opens)
06:49 (knife chopping)
07:16 (knife chopping)
07:18 Hello, is Tom Keighley there?
07:25 Hello?
07:26 Hello, Tom, you ogaloot. Long time no see.
07:29 Who is this?
07:30 It's Ray.
07:31 Ray who?
07:32 Ray Kitten, buddy boy.
07:42 Benny! Oh!
07:45 Benny, you scared me.
07:47 What are you doing here?
07:49 I had to wait for you, Mrs. Kitten,
07:51 but I didn't want anybody to see me.
07:53 You had to wait for me? What for, Benny?
07:56 The police. You got to take me to them.
07:59 Oh, Benny, Benny.
08:01 You got to take me to them, Mrs. Kitten.
08:03 Is it because of the newspapers today?
08:05 You got to turn me in. You got to tell them who I really am.
08:08 If you tell them, they'll believe you.
08:11 Come on, Benny, let's go over here and sit down.
08:14 Oh, business is great, but they're a couple of days late,
08:18 and I was wondering if you could see your way clear to...
08:22 How much do you need?
08:24 Fifteen hundred.
08:29 I can't make it to the bank by three.
08:31 Yeah, but this is Friday. The banks are open till six.
08:35 Look, Ray, I can't. You understand.
08:39 Yeah.
08:41 Sure, sure.
08:43 I hope you don't mind.
08:45 Oh, no, no, of course not. No problem.
08:49 I just thought I'd take a little pressure off the old valve, you know.
08:52 You understand, of course. I hope you don't mind.
08:55 No, no, no, no, no problem.
08:57 Give my love to Julie.
08:59 And that lousy rotten kid, I'll get him.
09:06 And that lousy rotten kid.
09:08 Benny, listen, every time this has happened,
09:12 you try to turn yourself in, and it's never you.
09:15 It's like somebody trying to punish themselves for something they didn't do.
09:19 But I did. Four women.
09:21 The newspapers said the woman had dark hair under her fingernails.
09:25 There's been four women, and each one of them has been attacked at night, right?
09:29 Now, what time do you get to your newsstand at night?
09:33 Six.
09:34 And what time do you leave?
09:35 Two?
09:36 Well, you see, I know that, the police know it,
09:39 Mr. Kenton knows it, and a hundred other men who buy their newspapers from you.
09:43 Every time one of these killings have happened, Benny,
09:46 you've been at your newsstand.
09:49 Have you talked to Dr. Masterson lately?
09:52 Why not?
09:54 He won't believe that I'm the one that did it.
09:57 I don't think he likes me.
10:00 You like me, Benny?
10:02 Oh, yeah. I wouldn't let nothing happen to you, Mrs. Kenton.
10:05 Well, then believe me, you couldn't hurt anybody.
10:08 You just don't have it in you.
10:10 Benny, I've got to go. I'm going to be late for work.
10:13 Goodbye, Ben.
10:15 Hiya, Ruthie. A little early.
10:21 Come in.
10:24 Oh, Ruth. How come you're so early? It's nowhere near six o'clock.
10:31 I wanted to talk to you for a minute.
10:33 Sure, sure. Come on, sit down.
10:36 It's Ray.
10:44 Same trouble? Money?
10:46 I turned him down again, but this time I'm not so sure I should have.
10:50 Why not?
10:52 Well, there was something about him, something genuinely scared.
10:55 He said the men he owes this to will hurt him in some way
10:59 if he doesn't pay the money.
11:01 This Joe Bedell.
11:03 Do you want to give him the money?
11:05 I don't know. I just don't want him hurt.
11:08 You're a very loyal person, Ruth.
11:11 Maybe it's just that I don't like to admit that I'm licked, George.
11:15 After all, I've been married to Ray for eight years, and I...
11:18 Eight years.
11:24 And I've just seen him go down and down and down.
11:29 Somehow I just can't help blaming myself.
11:32 It's like somewhere I've done something wrong.
11:35 I've failed him somehow.
11:37 It's like a man who's drowning and...
11:41 keeps calling for help, and you just don't hear him.
11:45 All I want is a little help in advance on your orders.
11:48 Fifteen hundred bucks worth?
11:50 I'll make it good.
11:51 I don't like it, Ray. You're in some kind of a jam.
11:54 Whatever it is, I don't want any part of it. I'm sorry.
11:57 I'll make it good.
11:59 Okay.
12:01 Sure, Charlie. Thanks anyway.
12:03 Come in the house, Ray.
12:04 You don't have to buy me any drinks.
12:06 Excuse me, miss.
12:18 Would you mind telling Ruth...
12:20 Ruth Kenton to step outside a minute, please?
12:23 I'm her husband.
12:26 Oh, sure.
12:27 Thank you.
12:55 Hello, Ray.
12:56 Ruthie...
12:59 I'm sorry about this afternoon.
13:02 So am I, Ray.
13:04 Is that why you came?
13:09 Yeah.
13:12 Oh, Ray.
13:15 Oh, Ray!
13:18 Oh!
13:22 Oh, I wanted this so much.
13:25 Me too, honey.
13:28 Just hold me. Hold me.
13:31 It's been so long.
13:34 We're silly.
13:39 Oh, so silly.
13:42 Fighting the way we do and tearing into each other.
13:48 Yeah.
13:51 It's just this money thing.
13:54 That's the only thing between us.
13:57 If I didn't have that on my mind...
14:01 Oh, Ruthie...
14:05 Remember how it used to be.
14:09 If it weren't for this one thing...
14:13 It could be like that again.
14:18 I promise.
14:20 Ray...
14:22 Tell me one thing.
14:25 Just one thing.
14:27 Do you love me?
14:29 Oh, I...
14:30 Wait a minute. I want you to think first.
14:32 Think of this year and the last two years.
14:37 Think of all the mean things I've said and done and then tell me.
14:41 Do you, Ray?
14:46 I worship you.
14:48 Oh.
14:50 Ruthie...
15:16 About the money...
15:18 I've been thinking.
15:21 Yes, Ray.
15:23 Well...
15:25 I know how you feel about that savings account of yours.
15:30 I mean...
15:32 Having a guy like me for a husband...
15:36 It gives you a feeling of security.
15:40 Ray...
15:41 No, no. Don't apologize.
15:43 I agree. You're entitled to a feeling of security.
15:47 And that bank account gives it to you.
15:50 Well, I...
15:52 I've gotten into this trouble and...
15:56 I've figured a way you can help me.
16:01 At the same time...
16:03 Not touch a penny of your savings account.
16:06 How's that, Ray?
16:08 You can borrow the 1,500.
16:10 Borrow it and pay it back a little at a time.
16:13 Who am I gonna borrow it from?
16:16 George.
16:18 I can't do a thing like that, Ray.
16:22 Why not?
16:23 He's stuck on you. We both know that.
16:26 You ask him and he'll give it. He'd give you anything you'd ask for.
16:29 No.
16:30 Now, I need it, Ruth. Those men will kill me.
16:32 Look, I'm not gonna give it to you now or ever from him.
16:34 You've got to help me, Ruth.
16:36 Look, you didn't come here to tell me you were sorry.
16:38 You were just pretending, using me the way you always do.
16:40 Now, let me go.
16:41 You're going to help me, do you understand?
16:42 Stop it!
16:43 You're going to ask George!
16:44 Ray.
16:53 Everything all right out here?
17:00 Yes.
17:02 George, Ray just came to say goodbye.
17:04 For good.
17:07 For good.
17:08 I'm sorry, Ray.
17:13 I know this can't be very easy on either one of you.
17:17 Good night, Ray.
17:21 Good night.

18:09 (footsteps tapping)
18:36 - Well, Ray boy, got the money?
18:40 - No, I tried.
18:42 Look, first thing in the morning.
18:45 - Well, I'll tell you what we're gonna do, Ray boy.
18:49 We're gonna give you till tomorrow night, okay?
18:52 - Thank you.
18:57 - But we're gonna have to have something in return.
19:00 You owe us 3,000 now, Ray boy, okay?
19:04 (Ray sighs)
19:06 Okay.
19:08 (tires screeching)
19:13 (Ray crying)
19:17 That's enough.
19:23 Now that's just to make sure
19:29 you have the money tomorrow night.
19:31 If you don't have the money tomorrow night, you're dead.

20:26 (footsteps tapping)
20:38 (footsteps tapping)
20:41 - You're in my place, Mr. Kenton.
20:58 I found you in an alley down there.
21:07 You sick or something, Mr. Kenton?
21:09 - Yeah, Benny, I...
21:13 I was sick.
21:17 - I was gonna have some soup, Mr. Kenton.
21:20 Will you want some?
21:21 - No thanks, Benny.
21:25 You go ahead.
21:28 (footsteps tapping)
21:31 (footsteps tapping)
21:34 (footsteps tapping)
21:37 (footsteps tapping)
21:40 (liquid sloshing)
21:51 (liquid sloshing)
22:06 (liquid sloshing)
22:09 - Benny, you should stop collecting these things.
22:28 - What things?
22:31 - Stories about the guy who's been going around
22:36 harming women, killing them.
22:39 - I have to, Mr. Kenton.
22:42 - Why?
22:45 - I just have to.
22:48 I like to read about myself.
22:54 - But Benny, you are not that mad.
23:04 - Oh, sure I am.
23:05 The only trouble is, I don't remember it when I'm doing it.
23:11 It's only afterwards, when I read in the papers
23:13 that I know I've done it again.
23:15 - Benny, the times you've gone down
23:20 to the police station and confessed,
23:23 they made you talk to a doctor, didn't they?
23:27 - Oh, sure.
23:29 The last time I was...
23:31 I told Mrs. Kenton about that.
23:34 - And you haven't seen him since?
23:36 - No, he won't believe me neither.
23:40 Oh, look, look, Mr. Kenton.
23:43 Did you read in a newspaper?
23:46 - No, I've been too busy all day, Benny.
23:51 - Well, it happened last night, about 11 o'clock.
23:56 See here, the corner of First and Bauer.
23:59 (papers rustling)
24:02 - Bauer and First.
24:06 - Bauer.
24:07 - I was right there about 11.
24:10 In a phone booth.
24:12 That guy's about to pinch me.
24:17 - Long hair.
24:18 The woman had long hair under her fingernails.
24:22 I got long hair, Mr. Kenton.
24:26 (dramatic music)
24:29 - So do a lot of people, Benny.
24:31 Your soup's hot.
24:33 - Oh.
24:35 I guess I'd better be going, Benny.
24:39 Thanks for the help.
24:40 - You sure you wanna stay for some soup, Mr. Kenton?
24:44 It's got pieces of chicken in it.
24:46 - No thanks, Benny.
24:50 Benny, if I were you,
24:53 I think I'd go see that police doctor again.
24:56 Good night, Benny.
24:59 (dramatic music)
25:02 - So long.
25:04 Doctors.
25:08 What do doctors know nothing?
25:14 (dramatic music)
25:18 (door creaking)
25:21 - Hiya, Frankie.
25:27 Long time no see.
25:28 - Sorry.
25:30 Frank's not here anymore.
25:32 - Oh.
25:33 Well, where's he working now?
25:35 - Frank came in to Little Doe.
25:37 His old man passed on.
25:38 - Well, look, he and I used to be real good buddies.
25:42 You know where I can reach him tonight?
25:45 - Call information in Honolulu.
25:47 - Frank's moved to Honolulu.
25:50 (dramatic music)
26:00 (dramatic music)
26:03 - What can it be, friend?
26:17 - Bottom up here, please.
26:19 (dramatic music)
26:24 (dramatic music)
26:27 (dramatic music)
26:37 (dramatic music)
26:42 (dramatic music)
26:53 (dramatic music)
26:56 - Hello, is Joe Bedell there?
27:11 - Who's this?
27:12 - Ray Kenton.
27:13 - Joe here.
27:14 - Hello, Joey?
27:15 Listen, this is Ray.
27:17 - Yeah?
27:18 - Look, Joe, about that money.
27:20 - What about it?
27:21 - Joe, you've got to believe me.
27:22 I'm gonna get the money,
27:23 but it's going to take a few days.
27:25 - How many?
27:26 - Three or four.
27:27 - What's the gimmick?
27:29 - You've got to call off your boys.
27:31 - Is this another stall?
27:33 - Joe, believe me, I can guarantee it.
27:35 It's a sure thing.
27:36 - From where?
27:37 - My wife's savings account.
27:43 - I heard that before.
27:45 - I'm gonna get it, I tell ya.
27:51 All of it.
27:52 - Okay, three days.
27:55 - Thanks, Joey.
27:59 You're a real pal.
28:01 - Let me have a beer.
28:19 - My attendant, draft.
28:21 - Hi.
28:22 The name's Ray Kenton.
28:24 - I'm glad to meet you, sir.
28:25 - I can't stand drinking alone.
28:29 Can't stand being alone, for that matter.
28:31 I guess that's why I became a salesman,
28:35 seeing people all the time.
28:36 Boy, that sure hits the spot.
28:49 - Uh, you do much traveling?
28:51 - I do.
28:55 That's one of the nice things about my kind of work.
28:57 You move around, you see the country.
29:00 Like tonight, for instance,
29:01 I'm meeting my boss in 45 minutes.
29:04 - Are you married?
29:05 - No, sir.
29:11 - Then maybe you wouldn't understand how I feel.
29:14 I've got the greatest little wife.
29:19 Sometimes I think I ought to have my head examined.
29:21 Leaving a doll like that alone.
29:23 See what I mean?
29:26 She's ten times prettier than that photograph.
29:29 - She's beautiful.
29:33 - Yes, sir.
29:35 Sweetest little wife in town.
29:37 And I've got to leave her all alone.
29:41 (dramatic music)
29:44 (somber music)
29:56 (somber music)
29:59 - How you feeling?
30:20 - Oh, fair.
30:25 - In a little while, I'll take you home.
30:27 - It was silly for me to get so upset.
30:30 George, I hate to keep bothering you with my troubles,
30:35 but it is nice to have somebody nearby.
30:39 - I wish I could make things a lot easier for you.
30:42 - You do?
30:45 Just by being yourself.
30:47 - When you're ready, I'll take you home.
30:51 I'll be right over here at the desk.
30:53 - Okay.
30:54 (somber music)
30:58 - Boys, things like that make a guy worry.
31:06 - I still don't feel easy leaving her,
31:11 even though I've got this bolt, that thick,
31:14 inside the front door.
31:16 - Oh, thanks.
31:17 - No, bumps.
31:19 - Oh, I'm sorry.

32:42 - Give me a double whiskey, Nick.
32:45 - On top of all that beer?
32:48 - Kind of puts a cap on the evening.
32:49 - Okay, but the evening's almost gone.
32:51 - And we close in a half hour.
32:53 - Close?
32:55 - Yeah, we always close at midnight.
32:56 - But I thought you stayed open till two,
32:58 - like all the other bars.
33:00 - In this neck of the woods?
33:02 - I could have an alibi.
33:16 - I could have been somewhere along with people.
33:18 - Benny, come on, answer it.
33:41 - Benny, come on, answer it.
33:42 - Hello?
33:59 - Benny, listen, this is Mr. Kenton.
34:01 - Look, I've been thinking it over about you being that guy.
34:04 - What guy?
34:06 - The one who's been doing the killings.
34:08 - Now, I think you'd better go down to the bar
34:10 - I think you'd better go down to the police station
34:11 - and confess again.
34:13 - Can you get down there in 15 minutes?
34:15 - Yeah, sure, Mr. Kenton.
34:17 - But they don't believe me.
34:20 - Now, look, copy down this number.
34:22 - G-U-3-1-U...
34:26 - No, no, no, G.
34:29 - G-U...
34:32 - No, G!
34:34 - G-U-3-1-1-2-7!
34:37 - Oh, G-U-3-1-1-2-7.
34:40 - Yeah, that's right.
34:42 - Now, when you get down there,
34:44 - tell them to call me here right away,
34:46 - and I'll come down.
34:48 - I'll make them believe you're the one.
34:50 - Now, read that number back to me.
34:56 - Okay, G-U-3-1-1-2-7.
35:00 - That's right.
35:03 - Now, are you sure you want to go down there?
35:06 - Are you sure you can make it down there in 15 minutes?
35:08 - Be sure you do,
35:10 - and tell them to call me here right away,
35:13 - before this place closes up, you understand?
35:16 - Yeah, Mr. Kenton.
35:18 - Okay.
35:21 [music]
35:23 - Look, mister, are you sure you want that drink?

37:54 - Could you come down and verify this?
37:57 - Sure, I could come right down.
37:59 - Sorry to trouble you.

39:27 Gentlemen, how do you do, Captain? I'm Ray Kent.
39:30 How do you do?
39:32 Hello, Benny. What's the matter? Up to your old tricks again?
39:39 He's a great kidder. Aren't you, Benny?
39:41 They won't believe me, Mr. Kenton.
39:44 They won't, Benny?
39:49 No. You said you could prove it to them.
39:53 Mr. Kenton, he's a friend of mine. Aren't you, Mr. Kenton?
39:57 Mr. Kenton, go ahead and tell him. Go on, tell him how I did it last night. Go ahead.
40:02 Well, why don't you tell him, Benny?
40:08 Okay.
40:09 Well, it was this house on Boyer Street.
40:17 And I hid there in an alley in the dark there.
40:23 What time was it, Benny?
40:25 Twelve. Twelve thirty-five. That's what time it was. It was twelve thirty-five. That's what time it was.
40:37 Twelve thirty-five.
40:38 Twelve thirty-five.
40:39 Twelve thirty-five.
40:40 Twelve thirty-five.

42:09 That's the way I did it.
42:11 Now you've got to punish me.
42:17 You've got to punish me.
42:23 He's never been this bad before.
42:29 He believes it. It was what I was afraid of.
42:34 That's why I tricked him into coming down here tonight.
42:39 I think you'd better call the police psychiatrist.
42:41 Listen to me, Benny.
42:43 Benny, are you listening?
42:45 Now you've got to believe me.
42:51 You're not the one. Not even if you think you are.
42:56 That woman wasn't killed at twelve thirty-five.
43:01 She was killed about eleven o'clock.
43:04 She wasn't killed with a walking stick.
43:08 Why the walking stick, Benny?
43:10 Because.
43:14 Because why?
43:16 Because it was his.
43:20 Whose?
43:22 I don't know.
43:24 I don't know.
43:27 I took it.
43:34 I took it.
43:35 And I hit her.
43:39 And I hit her.
43:41 And I hit her.
43:44 And I killed her.
43:48 I think you're right. I'll call the doctor.
43:56 I'll stay in here with Benny.
43:58 Benny.
43:59 He promised me.
44:20 Mr. Kenton.
44:26 You was my friend.
44:28 You said you was going to help me.
44:34 Listen, this is the best thing for you.
44:37 You lied to me.
44:42 For your own good. Now calm down.
44:44 I did it. I did it.
44:48 I did it. I killed her.
44:52 Shut up.
44:55 That woman was strangled to death with a silk stocking.
44:59 Silk stocking.

47:22 Apartment 1.
47:23 George Mekas, you know the fellow who runs the restaurant?
47:26 He thinks she's got the guy we've been looking for.
47:29 Hello, George.
47:31 Who is the woman?
47:34 Mrs. Kenton.
47:36 Well, we've got Kenton here now.
47:39 No, just Penny again.
47:41 Is she all right?
47:42 Yeah.
47:47 Sure.
47:48 I'll tell him.
47:51 Thanks, George.
47:55 Well, if that don't beat all--
47:57 Mr. Kenton, I just got a call from your house.
48:05 It's about your wife.
48:06 Now, there's no need to be--
48:08 Mr. Kenton.
