00:02:30♪
00:02:40♪
00:02:50♪
00:02:57♪
00:03:03Mr. Jefferson, the visitor you were expecting has come.
00:03:07♪
00:03:17♪
00:03:27♪
00:03:37♪
00:03:47You...
00:03:49You're as exciting as always, Layla.
00:03:52But let's get the business over first.
00:03:54I'm glad you agreed to sign the contract as solo dancer.
00:03:57Only because I love you and trust you, Archie.
00:03:59Here, I've prepared everything. All you have to do is sign.
00:04:02And you'll get a replacement for me with a Las Vegas girl?
00:04:05Why, of course. That's what I promised.
00:04:11Chin-chin. Chin-chin.
00:04:18And now that we've gotten rid of the business,
00:04:22let's get down to pleasure.
00:04:37For Mr. Jefferson.
00:04:38Give me.
00:04:39But I'm to hand over to him in person.
00:04:40Mr. Jefferson asked us to take the cues for him.
00:04:43He doesn't want to be disturbed tonight anymore.
00:04:46Anything else?
00:04:47Anything else?
00:04:51I didn't know they came that small.
00:04:53You...
00:04:55♪
00:05:19Archie!
00:05:21Ah!
00:05:22Ah!
00:05:33Good evening.
00:05:35This is Edgar Wallace speaking.
00:05:39And don't forget, Sir Arthur, you've got to go on blowing,
00:05:41or else it won't stay as stiff as it should.
00:05:43As a matter of fact, you'll get a soft, green mess,
00:05:45and the whole effort will have been in vain.
00:05:47I understand.
00:05:48And how long do I have to go on blowing?
00:05:50Just as I said, until it's quite stiff.
00:05:52Then you pour the foam over the omelette,
00:05:54and serve while still warm.
00:05:55Don't you remember, Sir Arthur, we were going to have a dance?
00:05:58Can't you see I'm busy now, Mabel?
00:06:00A new cooking recipe I was just given.
00:06:02Cooking is really a wonderful hobby.
00:06:04It's not as strenuous as golf, and much more thankful than sex.
00:06:07But only when I'm serving the dessert.
00:06:09Cheers.
00:06:10Every time Mabel mentions the word dessert,
00:06:13there's a telephone call for me.
00:06:14Extraordinary.
00:06:17Sir London Club.
00:06:19One moment, please.
00:06:20You're quite right.
00:06:21It's for you, Sir Arthur.
00:06:24There you go.
00:06:26Hello.
00:06:27Yes.
00:06:29Aha.
00:06:30Yes.
00:06:31At once.
00:06:33Are we going to dance, or aren't we going to?
00:06:36Come now, don't be so greedy.
00:06:38Softer, you'll represent me while I'm away.
00:06:40I'm sure Mabel's all right in your care.
00:06:42No, I wouldn't be too sure of that.
00:06:44No woman's really safe when I'm around.
00:06:49All I can say is it's very fortunate that you reached me when you did.
00:06:52I always like to be the first at the scene of the crime.
00:06:55What's going on here?
00:06:56Are you quite mad?
00:06:58You can't simply carry away the corpse
00:07:00before I've had a chance to search the place for traces of the crime.
00:07:03I'd like to know what amateur is fiddling around here.
00:07:05I'm afraid it's only me, Sir Arthur.
00:07:07Perkins?
00:07:08How is it that you're here already?
00:07:10Just a coincidence.
00:07:11Unfortunately, someone got here before I did
00:07:13and took the murdered man's belongings.
00:07:15What have you got there?
00:07:16A glass eye.
00:07:17I found it in his pyjamas.
00:07:19In his pyjamas?
00:07:20Well, maybe he wanted to read a murder story.
00:07:22I see.
00:07:23Who was the murdered man?
00:07:24Mr. Archibald Jefferson, one of our best guests.
00:07:27Please see to it that the press doesn't find out
00:07:29the reputation of our hotel is at stake.
00:07:31A hotel that can't boast of murder in London nowadays
00:07:33belongs to the second category.
00:07:35The murderer's weapons, Sir Arthur.
00:07:37Will you come here, please?
00:07:38Yes.
00:07:39Did Mr. Jefferson receive a lady in his room tonight?
00:07:41Yes.
00:07:42Did you know the lady personally?
00:07:43Yes.
00:07:44Is that all you can say?
00:07:45Yes.
00:07:46You noticed nothing strange about her?
00:07:47No.
00:07:48I gather your vocabulary is limited to yes and no.
00:07:50Yes.
00:07:51What's yes?
00:07:52Yesterday evening, a bag of billiard cues was delivered for Mr. Jefferson.
00:07:55So the murdered man was a billiard player?
00:07:57Yes.
00:07:58Was the subject of billiards ever discussed?
00:08:00No, I'm not interested in billiards.
00:08:02Yes, that's quite obvious.
00:08:03Can you tell us at what time the lady left the hotel?
00:08:05I'm afraid I didn't see her leave.
00:08:06What did she look like?
00:08:07I'm also not interested in women.
00:08:08Maybe you can make an exception this time.
00:08:10Yes.
00:08:11If you strain yourself, you might help us get someplace.
00:08:13I suppose you could describe her as being pretty.
00:08:15Fur coat, medium quality, calf skin.
00:08:18Medium size, long blonde hair.
00:08:20Hmm?
00:08:21Hmm.
00:08:39Hey, you want to get pinned to the board, Miss Landers?
00:08:47I guess we've got to be grateful that you turned up at all.
00:08:57You won't get away with this without a fine.
00:08:59Sorry.
00:09:00Say, what's between you and Stoke?
00:09:08He was asking for you.
00:09:09He seemed pretty mad.
00:09:10Oh, Stoke, just a fit of jealousy.
00:09:12I must talk to you.
00:09:14What's the matter?
00:09:15Not now.
00:09:16Good evening, lovely girls.
00:09:18May I introduce myself?
00:09:20I am Robero, flame swallower and knife thrower.
00:09:23Internationally renowned.
00:09:25Don't bother.
00:09:26We know you only too well.
00:09:28Mr. Stoke?
00:09:29Yes, what is it?
00:09:30Please see to it that we don't get molested.
00:09:32There's really no reason why this man should be in our dressing room.
00:09:35Robero, I don't want you in the girls' dressing room.
00:09:37Come on out.
00:09:47Where have you been hanging around all night again?
00:09:49You filthy louse.
00:09:51You wait.
00:09:52We're going to have a little chat after the dress rehearsal.
00:09:58What's the matter?
00:09:59Isn't it permitted to introduce oneself to one's new colleagues?
00:10:01You've done it twice already.
00:10:03They're not the kind of colleagues you're used to.
00:10:05These are the Las Vegas girls.
00:10:08Internationally famous, my lad.
00:10:10Guest appearances, only on the best stages and in the best beds.
00:10:14Shut up, you stupid idiot.
00:10:16You let him speak to me in that tone of voice, Daddy.
00:10:19You can't go on living without your doll anymore, huh?
00:10:22I can't stand his mug anymore.
00:10:24And that goes for me too, Robero.
00:10:26Have you both gone crazy?
00:10:28Stop it.
00:10:29Stop it, I say.
00:10:30Get in where you want, but not here in the theater.
00:10:33Stoke, dress rehearsal in five minutes.
00:10:37If that happens once more, you'll both get fired.
00:10:41I'll see to it.
00:10:49Oh, Daddy.
00:10:52Come on, kids.
00:10:53Hurry up.
00:10:54Hurry up.
00:10:55Hurry up.
00:10:56On stage, everybody.
00:11:00You need a personal invitation, Lila?
00:11:08Come on.
00:11:09Come on, hurry up, Lila.
00:11:27Lila.
00:11:36Philadelphia, 1966.
00:11:37Jefferson, alias Bradley, dealer in white slavery.
00:11:40Sydney, 1967.
00:11:42Wanted for white slavery.
00:11:43Always girls behind it.
00:11:45How does he do it?
00:11:46You say January 68 he was in London?
00:11:48In January 68 he was in prison in Boston.
00:11:50However, did he manage to do that?
00:11:52I suppose he's taken that little secret with him.
00:11:54And a post-mortem examination won't reveal that either.
00:11:58The fingerprints that were found on the weapon, Inspector.
00:12:00What's going on here?
00:12:01Do you mean to say you found fingerprints on the weapon that was used to kill Jefferson?
00:12:05Yes, sir.
00:12:06Well, Perkins, what are you waiting for?
00:12:07Have the man arrested immediately.
00:12:10Well then, Sir Arthur, you're under arrest.
00:12:12Come, come, come, come, come now.
00:12:14We're on duty.
00:12:15No fun and games, please.
00:12:17I'm sorry, Sir Arthur, but only your fingerprints were found on the weapon.
00:12:19That only goes to show you how very careful you must be.
00:12:21Smith, back to work.
00:12:24Wipe that smile off your face.
00:12:25I'm sorry, Sir.
00:12:26It really seems the longer your hair, the stupider you get.
00:12:29But, Sir Arthur, think of Einstein.
00:12:31Einstein only grew his hair to play the violin, and he was bad at that.
00:12:34This was the drawing that was made based on the clerk's description.
00:12:37Nobody bothers to talk to me anymore, eh?
00:12:39Oh, yes, maybe you know the lady.
00:12:41Really charming.
00:12:42Did you ever meet her?
00:12:43Unfortunately not.
00:12:45Pepper?
00:12:46I don't even have to think about it, boss.
00:12:47You need a lot of money for a girl like this, and that's not exactly my strong point.
00:12:50Well, then we'll have to search.
00:12:52You'll find out if this ring was stolen or bought in London by tonight.
00:12:56And what do you want me to do for the rest of the day?
00:12:58That is entirely up to you.
00:13:00And this cheap little present is a token of thanks for the most wonderful night spent together with you,
00:13:04that I'm still longing for.
00:13:06And this is a token of thanks for the cheap joke you've made just once too often.
00:13:10Pull yourself together, Sergeant.
00:13:11We're dealing with a case of murder here, not a case of love-in.
00:13:13No, Sir.
00:13:16Perkins here.
00:13:20What?
00:13:22I'll be with you at once.
00:13:23Quick, Pepper, never mind the ring now.
00:13:25May I ask what this call was all about?
00:13:27After all, you were using my telephone.
00:13:29Oh, one of the Las Vegas girls was killed, Sir Arthur.
00:13:35Her death means a lot to you, does it?
00:13:37We were good friends.
00:13:39Stupid idea to cover those lovely girls' faces with a mask.
00:13:42Look at this.
00:13:43Have you gone mad?
00:13:44You saw her face, didn't you?
00:13:45Do you want to get poisoned?
00:13:47To pull the mask over your face, you stick these two poison needles into your skin.
00:13:52Where did she come from?
00:13:54Stockholm.
00:13:55Did she have any relatives or friends in London?
00:13:57Just her friend.
00:13:59An American.
00:14:00He was visiting Paris when they got to know each other.
00:14:02He followed us all the way here.
00:14:04All right, Pepper, get the man here.
00:14:05What's his name? Where does he live?
00:14:06In the Palace Hotel.
00:14:07Mr. Archibald Jefferson.
00:14:08Why, Chief, that's our...
00:14:09Yes, yes, forget it.
00:14:11I thank you.
00:14:12You were a great help to us.
00:14:13You can rest now, but don't go away.
00:14:15We'll probably need you again later on.
00:14:17Get rid of the crowd.
00:14:19Will you please go outside, everyone?
00:14:21And don't forget, the murderer always returns to the scene of the crime.
00:14:24He might be among you now.
00:14:31That goes for you, too.
00:14:39So Lila Anderson was the unknown girl with Archibald Jefferson yesterday evening.
00:14:44She was there when the murder took place.
00:14:46If she would have known the price she'd have to pay, I'm sure she would have gone without.
00:14:49Yes, bring this mask to the lab and search her room very carefully.
00:14:52Aye, aye, sir.
00:14:58My goodness.
00:14:59You drive like the devil, Mabel.
00:15:00If you keep going on like this, we'll get into the next Monte Carlo rally.
00:15:03But I don't have a driving license, Sir Arthur.
00:15:05What?
00:15:06Oh, I'm short-sighted, don't you know?
00:15:08You see, what happens, I always mistake the brake for the accelerator.
00:15:11That's why I failed the exam three times so far.
00:15:14If I would have known that.
00:15:15Well, please wait a minute. This won't take long now.
00:15:31Passage to your left.
00:15:53Nobody is to leave this theater.
00:15:55All the men on the stage and all the women to me.
00:16:00How many knives you have?
00:16:02Twelve.
00:16:03Can I have a look?
00:16:07Right, sir.
00:16:11One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
00:16:14That's right.
00:16:15And where's the twelfth?
00:16:16Somebody must have stolen it.
00:16:18That's a lie.
00:16:19Yesterday evening you killed somebody with it.
00:16:21Mr. Rubiro and his new assistant were rehearsing on this stage until four o'clock this morning, she informed me.
00:16:26Giving false information, probably an accomplice.
00:16:28Yes, that's what it is. Arrest him.
00:16:30Although we would be more than delighted if Rubiro were to be arrested,
00:16:33unfortunately we cannot deny the fact that he spent the night here rehearsing.
00:16:37So you can bear witness to that?
00:16:39Yes, sir.
00:16:40And you?
00:16:42And I can confirm that too, sir.
00:16:43Who are you?
00:16:44My name is Stoke. I'm the stage manager.
00:16:46You may have a good alibi, but it makes you all the more suspicious.
00:16:50In which case you too were in the theater until four this morning.
00:16:52I was repairing my puppets.
00:16:54Your dressing room was beside that of the Las Vegas girls?
00:16:56Yes.
00:16:57Those are quite redundant questions, Perkins.
00:16:59What has that got to do with the murder at the Palace Hotel?
00:17:01Oh, nothing other than the fact that the girl who was in Jefferson's room yesterday
00:17:04was found in the Las Vegas girls' dressing room murdered.
00:17:07Las Vegas girls?
00:17:08Why, of course that's what I'd forgotten.
00:17:09I want to see all the Las Vegas girls.
00:17:12All the Las Vegas girls report backstage to Sir Arthur at once.
00:17:18I don't want anybody to confirm my alibis, understand?
00:17:21See, Daddy, that's all the thanks you get for trying to help someone.
00:17:26Now, my dears, I want to ask you a straightforward, simple question.
00:17:30And all you have to do is answer with a simple yes or no.
00:17:33Which one of you ladies has seen the murderer?
00:17:38Sir Arthur means, of course, have you seen anyone in the theater who doesn't belong here?
00:17:42I expressed myself.
00:17:44I'm sorry.
00:17:45I'm sorry.
00:17:46I'm sorry.
00:17:47I'm sorry.
00:17:48I'm sorry.
00:17:49I'm sorry.
00:17:50I'm sorry.
00:17:51I'm sorry.
00:17:52I'm sorry.
00:17:53I'm sorry.
00:17:54I expressed myself clearly enough just now, didn't I?
00:17:57More than enough, Sir Arthur.
00:17:58Oh.
00:18:00Just look at that sweet little thing over there raising her leg.
00:18:03I believe she wants to tell me something.
00:18:05Yes, why don't you question her privately in your car, Sir Arthur?
00:18:08You'll be undisturbed there.
00:18:09My car?
00:18:10Why, of course, that's what I'd forgotten.
00:18:16What's going on here?
00:18:17Stop!
00:18:18Stop at once, I say!
00:18:20Is this your new assistant?
00:18:22What's her name?
00:18:23Oh, yes.
00:18:24What is your name?
00:18:25Miss Finlay.
00:18:27You may carry on.
00:18:29Mabel!
00:18:30Stop this at once!
00:18:32Mabel, my dear.
00:18:33Are you all right?
00:18:35I find this terribly exciting.
00:18:37Each time I saw one of those pointed things flying at me, I had to think of you, Sir Arthur.
00:18:41How delightful.
00:18:44Thank you very much, ladies.
00:18:45You may go back to your dressing rooms now.
00:18:46But please don't go away.
00:18:47I might need you again.
00:19:06Bruce!
00:19:08I must speak to you.
00:19:09You must be careful.
00:19:10The police are searching the place.
00:19:11You see, one of our girls was murdered.
00:19:13That doesn't affect me.
00:19:14When can I see you, Yvonne?
00:19:16Bruce, I told you it isn't any use.
00:19:18Please.
00:19:19In all those years, too much has happened.
00:19:21Look at that, Daddy.
00:19:22She hasn't been in London one week yet, and she's got a sweetheart already.
00:19:27What is it you want?
00:19:29You can't get rid of Snooky as easily as you can a young dancing girl.
00:19:33Snooky only speaks the truth.
00:19:35And you can't kill the truth.
00:19:37Isn't that so, Snooky?
00:19:39Yes, Daddy.
00:19:41Bruce!
00:19:43Bruce!
00:19:45Get out!
00:19:53Come.
00:19:55Come to the hotel later on.
00:19:57I'll wait for you in the bar.
00:20:04There.
00:20:06There just isn't any point.
00:20:08Oh, yes.
00:20:10Let's start all over again.
00:20:11You're no longer the same person, Bruce.
00:20:13You're so nervous and restless.
00:20:14Are you in trouble?
00:20:16You know, after you disappeared,
00:20:18those first months, they were the worst for me.
00:20:20For me, too.
00:20:22I want to know why you went away.
00:20:24There was simply no other way.
00:20:26My question was, why?
00:20:27Bruce, it's a thing of the past.
00:20:29Please, let's not talk about it anymore, yes?
00:20:31All right.
00:20:33We'll start all over again.
00:20:35I can't go on being the mysterious mistress of a rich man, can I?
00:20:38I don't want you to.
00:20:39I love you as I've always loved you.
00:20:41You said that last time, too, you know.
00:20:43But your mother will be just as much against your marrying me
00:20:45as she would have been last time.
00:20:47I'm no longer dependent on her.
00:20:49As a matter of fact, I want to introduce you to her.
00:20:51Bruce, I...
00:20:54Excuse me, Lord Sheringham.
00:20:56Your mother's on the telephone.
00:21:00Excuse me for a moment.
00:21:02I'll just tell her that I'll telephone her afterwards.
00:21:09All right.
00:21:23I've got a little surprise for you, Inspector.
00:21:25The entire belongings of Lila Anderson
00:21:27were picked up an hour ago from her boarding house.
00:21:29Who by?
00:21:31By uniformed chauffeur.
00:21:33But listening to the clerk's description of him,
00:21:35I couldn't help getting the impression
00:21:37that his memory had been purchased for five pounds or so.
00:21:39It was under the waste paper basket.
00:21:41It's a ticket to a billiard club in Soho.
00:21:43You play billiards?
00:21:45Without appearing to be too modest,
00:21:47I can say that I'm for billiards, which you are for the yard.
00:21:49Then you must be very good.
00:21:51Well, tonight you can prove it.
00:21:58Not bad at all.
00:22:00I quite agree.
00:22:02Have you marked it down, miss?
00:22:04Yes, sir.
00:22:23Safety first, I say.
00:22:33Now, let's have a go.
00:22:37Ah!
00:22:39Fifteen.
00:22:59Now, how much more do I need?
00:23:02Another twenty.
00:23:04Now, keep your eyes open for the shot of the day.
00:23:10Well, congratulations.
00:23:12I hope you'll give me a return game.
00:23:14Gladly.
00:23:16I just want to pick up my winnings.
00:23:18I bet five pounds on myself, you see.
00:23:20Ten to one, that makes fifty pounds for me.
00:23:24This way, sir.
00:23:40He's winning too much, that boy.
00:23:42I think he should play billiards somewhere else.
00:23:44I don't know.
00:23:46He looks suspiciously like a cop to me.
00:23:48Look him up on our card file.
00:23:50Okay, boss.
00:23:52Scotland Yard?
00:23:54Where else do you think?
00:24:09Ah, here he is.
00:24:11Jim Pepper, sergeant.
00:24:13Twenty-six years old.
00:24:15Five feet seven, brunette.
00:24:17Assistant of Inspector Perkins.
00:24:19Cops rarely come alone.
00:24:21We'll have to expect a surprise visit sometime soon.
00:24:23Just because of Jefferson, we're stuck now.
00:24:25I'd like to know who it was that laid that egg.
00:24:27I mean, who it was that killed Jefferson.
00:24:29The whole thing smells fishy to me.
00:24:31Then we'll have to clear that smell away.
00:24:33You'll make sure that everything's cleared away down here.
00:24:35And by tomorrow morning, I want the room upstairs
00:24:37to be as clean as a whistle.
00:24:39Yes, sir.
00:24:45Here, sir.
00:24:50Fifty pounds.
00:25:01Close table three.
00:25:03I'll see to it at once, sir.
00:25:05Well, then.
00:25:07Now we can continue.
00:25:09Not tonight.
00:25:11Maybe some other time.
00:25:13But you just said...
00:25:15Well, then, how about you?
00:25:17I'm very sorry, sir.
00:25:19I was informed just now that the table was reserved
00:25:21for a tournament game.
00:25:23Well, can't be helped, then.
00:25:25There you are, miss.
00:25:27Rather unpleasant, that affair that took place
00:25:29in your theater.
00:25:31Have the police got anywhere?
00:25:33There were many people at the theater
00:25:35at the time of the murder.
00:25:37It'll be difficult to find the culprit.
00:25:39As long as the killer isn't found,
00:25:41everyone is considered suspect.
00:25:43But, damn it, is it my fault that the murder
00:25:45took place in the theater?
00:25:47After all, it could have taken place anywhere.
00:25:49Exactly.
00:25:51It would have been much better for you.
00:25:54Yes?
00:25:56Put him through.
00:25:58Donovan.
00:26:00Ah, Mr. Donovan.
00:26:02What can I do for you?
00:26:04I quite understand.
00:26:06Yes, I happen to have someone from the theater
00:26:07to arrange it for you.
00:26:09Yes.
00:26:11Why, of course, a pleasure, Mr. Donovan.
00:26:13Mr. Donovan is having a party tonight
00:26:15and would be very grateful if it were possible
00:26:17to arrange for two of the Las Vegas girls
00:26:19to appear there.
00:26:21Shouldn't be any trouble, eh?
00:26:23Well, I don't know if...
00:26:25There is nothing to know.
00:26:27His car will be waiting at the stage door
00:26:29after the performance.
00:26:37Yes, sir.
00:27:08Rivera, you're on stage in one minute.
00:27:13Hurry up, girls.
00:27:15The car's waiting for you.
00:27:17We'll be ready in a minute.
00:27:19Yes.
00:27:21Enjoy yourselves.
00:27:23Next time you have an invitation
00:27:25for one of the girls,
00:27:27think of me, Eric.
00:27:31Goodbye.
00:27:33Goodbye.
00:27:35Goodbye.
00:27:38Fancy, man.
00:27:40Shut up, you.
00:27:42What's going on here again?
00:27:44Hurry up, get on stage.
00:27:49You come on right after, Ribeiro.
00:28:08If you please.
00:28:10Sounds like the people are enjoying themselves.
00:28:13Mr. Donovan enjoys giving parties.
00:28:15May I show you the way?
00:28:17Oh, it's lovely here.
00:28:24Mr. Donovan had this specially built
00:28:26for the convenience of his guests.
00:28:28He's awaiting you.
00:28:37Oh, look at that one.
00:29:07Oh, look at that one.
00:29:38Strange reception, I must say.
00:29:40Now we know we're really in England.
00:29:42The richer the people,
00:29:44the more peculiar their whims.
00:29:57Welcome to my party, ladies.
00:29:59My name's Donovan.
00:30:01It might seem somewhat crazy,
00:30:03but I always give parties like this.
00:30:05Won't you sit down?
00:30:07Wine, whiskey, rice wine,
00:30:09anything your heart desires.
00:30:11Mr. Donovan, are we to understand
00:30:13that we are the only guests?
00:30:15Don't worry, I'm quite sure
00:30:17you're going to enjoy the evening.
00:30:19Won't you sit down, please?
00:30:22I'd like to make things quite clear
00:30:24right now, Mr. Donovan.
00:30:26We were invited to a social gathering
00:30:28and not to a private party
00:30:30at which one man would entertain us.
00:30:32Don't be a spoilsport.
00:30:34Have a drink first.
00:30:35Ladies on stage.
00:30:37I was very impressed.
00:30:39I'd like to offer you a contract at once.
00:30:42You know very well that we are under contract
00:30:44with the Las Vegas girls
00:30:46and we have no intention of breaking our contract.
00:30:48You've already broken your contract.
00:30:50You're with me.
00:30:53Come on, Linda.
00:31:02Mr. Donovan, please let us out of here at once.
00:31:06Please.
00:31:19That's the only way out I can offer you, I'm afraid.
00:31:22But you'd have to be very good mountaineers.
00:31:25What is it you want from us?
00:31:27I want you to stay here with me for a few days.
00:31:29You'll have everything you need.
00:31:31But you mustn't play any tricks.
00:31:33That's out of the question.
00:31:35What's the point, dear girls?
00:31:37I don't want you to perform.
00:31:39But why is it you don't want us to be in the show?
00:31:41I mean, what's the point of it all?
00:31:45Careful, Leslie, don't argue with him.
00:31:47I'm quite sure the man's crazy.
00:31:49Donovan.
00:31:51Listen, Donovan, we've got a feeling
00:31:53the cops are going to snoop around the club.
00:31:55So don't take any risks.
00:31:57Don't worry.
00:31:59Tell the boss everything's going according to plan.
00:32:02You can do what you want with the girls.
00:32:03Hand them over to Ray and Clark.
00:32:05No matter what, I don't want them to appear.
00:32:08It's got to be the end of the troupe this week.
00:32:10You can depend on me, boss.
00:32:12You know that, don't you?
00:32:28How could that happen?
00:32:30How is that possible, you damned idiot?
00:32:33It really wasn't our fault, boss.
00:32:35When we got to the swimming pool,
00:32:37Donovan was dead and the two girls had gone away.
00:32:39Gone away?
00:32:41Did you hear that?
00:32:43I've got no idea how the roof was open.
00:32:45They must have climbed out.
00:32:47What's come into you all?
00:32:49The two girls are gone and you just stand around.
00:32:51I don't want you to think.
00:32:53Ray and Clark,
00:32:55I want you to get the two girls here
00:32:57before the police get them.
00:32:59Okay, boss.
00:33:01And alive.
00:33:04In Arlington, a man was just murdered,
00:33:06a Mr. Donovan.
00:33:08Hello?
00:33:10Hello?
00:33:12We've been cut off.
00:33:14I'm still here. And who are you?
00:33:16My name is Linda Svensson.
00:33:18I'm one of the Las Vegas girls.
00:33:20And where are you now?
00:33:22We're staying at a motel, Prince of Wales.
00:33:24All right, I'll come over at once.
00:33:26And don't let anyone in till I get there.
00:33:28No.
00:33:33Darling, are you ready to leave?
00:33:35My relief will be coming any minute now, sweetie pie.
00:33:37I'm afraid we're booked out for tonight.
00:33:39Scotland Yard.
00:33:41Oh, the cops, good heavens.
00:33:43What is it? It's 3 a.m., you know.
00:33:45You know if these girls live here?
00:33:47Yes, yes, that's Linda and Leslie of the Las Vegas girls.
00:33:49Are they upstairs?
00:33:51They just got back an hour ago. Room number?
00:33:53Fussy one for details, aren't you?
00:33:55Never mind the jokes, baby. Well, 12.
00:33:57Got no sense of humor, those cops.
00:33:59It's a pity they were quite cute otherwise.
00:34:01Sweetie pie.
00:34:03A cup of tea.
00:34:08Who's there?
00:34:10Scotland Yard.
00:34:17Come in.
00:34:24That was quick.
00:34:26Didn't Inspector Perkins come with you?
00:34:28Inspector Perkins wants you to come to his office.
00:34:30Please get ready to come along.
00:34:31All right.
00:34:44Okay, let's go.
00:34:47This way.
00:34:52Scotland Yard, I want to speak to Miss Linda Svensson.
00:34:56What's going on tonight? Two of your men are already up there.
00:34:59From Scotland Yard?
00:35:01Five minutes ago they went up there.
00:35:03One word out of either one of you and you're both dead.
00:35:08Is there another way out of here?
00:35:10Just the fire escape.
00:35:12Quick!
00:35:16Goodness gracious, does this happen every night?
00:35:19That's women for you.
00:35:21They went through my room over the fire escape.
00:35:26Stop them once or I'll shoot.
00:35:32Come on.
00:35:38Let go of the girl, do you hear?
00:35:53Get out of there.
00:36:01Get out of there.
00:36:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:36:29You better stop right there.
00:36:31You don't like that cock and bull story, do you?
00:36:33But that's why it's true, Inspector.
00:36:35Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, you've got a wonderful imagination.
00:36:37But it's just like I said, the murderer was on the roof and he threw the knife.
00:36:39Now you're repeating yourself, you told me that already.
00:36:41A man with a glass eye, you said.
00:36:43We're two witnesses.
00:36:45And it was this knife?
00:36:47Yes, he threw the knife with the red handle.
00:36:49I'm sorry.
00:36:51I'm afraid I'll have to keep you here under suspicion of murder.
00:36:53Smith?
00:36:55Yes, sir?
00:36:57Bring them downstairs, I want them detained.
00:36:59Inspector, we've got a performance tonight.
00:37:01It's very important.
00:37:03If you please.
00:37:08Hey, Chief, I don't understand you.
00:37:10You want these two locked up?
00:37:12Why, they're as innocent as two newborn babes.
00:37:14Don't tell anyone, Pepper, but I believed every word those girls said.
00:37:16Chief, now I'm really completely lost.
00:37:18Okay, switch on your extra computer for a minute.
00:37:20When Jefferson was murdered, Lila the dancer was with him.
00:37:23What happened to her?
00:37:25Some nice person put poison in her veins.
00:37:27Last night, Donovan invited Leslie and Linda.
00:37:28If they'd have telephoned me five minutes later,
00:37:30I'd have been too late.
00:37:32Chief, maybe...
00:37:34Maybe he wants to break up the whole troupe.
00:37:36Lila was murdered.
00:37:38If two more were to disappear,
00:37:40why, soon the whole company couldn't go on anymore.
00:37:42Fabulous, Pepper, fabulous.
00:37:44Now you can have a drink, my boy.
00:37:46Chief, if I'm allowed to have a drink,
00:37:48it's either that you're sick
00:37:50or I've been talking a lot of nonsense.
00:37:52Now, I want you to see to it
00:37:54that these girls are treated like queens.
00:37:56I'm going to have a talk with that ventriloquist, Andrew Biro.
00:37:58Forget it, forget it.
00:38:14I was certain that you still loved me, Nora.
00:38:17I told you not to call me Nora.
00:38:19Why not?
00:38:21You are Nora Wilson, the girl I love.
00:38:25That I always loved.
00:38:27Bruce.
00:38:29Forget that name, I beg you.
00:38:31I'm Yvonne Duval, even for you,
00:38:33Nora Wilson is gone forever.
00:38:35Okay, you're Yvonne.
00:38:37My Yvonne.
00:38:41When will you introduce me to your mother?
00:38:46Soon.
00:38:48You promised, don't forget.
00:38:57You must go away, they mustn't see you here.
00:38:59Yes, who's there?
00:39:01Eric, there's something urgent I have to tell you.
00:39:03Just a minute, I've got to slip something on.
00:39:05What a terrible sneaky man.
00:39:07He certainly mustn't see you here.
00:39:09Come this way.
00:39:11Yes, yes, I'm coming.
00:39:27You are alone?
00:39:29As you can see.
00:39:31But I heard someone else talking to you.
00:39:33A man's voice, I'm quite sure of it.
00:39:35I hope you didn't feel you had to send your visitor
00:39:37way down the fire escape just because of me.
00:39:39Well, what was so important that it couldn't wait?
00:39:41I'm sorry, I have no news for you.
00:39:43But I would very much like to talk to Nora Wilson.
00:39:45What do you think, Snooky?
00:39:47Could this be the Nora Wilson
00:39:49that stayed over in South America for such a long time?
00:39:51Nora Wilson, Nora Wilson, Nora Wilson.
00:39:57Get out.
00:40:04Wouldn't it be better for you if we talked about it?
00:40:07Get out.
00:40:18Oh, Daddy.
00:40:26Daddy.
00:40:56Daddy.
00:41:12Hello there, Inspector.
00:41:14What can I do for you?
00:41:16Has Eric come in yet?
00:41:18He won't be in for an hour at least.
00:41:20Then I'll wait for him. Where's his dressing room, please?
00:41:22Number 26.
00:41:24I see.
00:41:26It's right behind you.
00:41:338, 9, 10, 11.
00:41:35What's the matter?
00:41:37Nothing.
00:41:56What's the matter?
00:42:26What's the matter?
00:42:56Idiot.
00:43:26What's the matter?
00:43:56No.
00:44:27That's the place, Chief.
00:44:35Just look at this.
00:44:37Unmistakable family resemblance, don't you think?
00:44:39Yes, indeed. Very cozy, I must say.
00:44:41Yeah.
00:44:42Chief.
00:44:56Mr. Nodhatcher.
00:44:57Look around and see if you can find anything that might interest you.
00:45:00I'm very busy.
00:45:01The coffin has to be ready by noon.
00:45:03Someone's preparing a surprise for his mother-in-law.
00:45:05What?
00:45:06This is for the shop window of Popple's Funeral Services.
00:45:09He believes he'll get more customers
00:45:11if people see how comfortable they lie in his coffins.
00:45:15Why did you do that?
00:45:17I never met him.
00:45:19Why, that's Snooky.
00:45:21Anything wrong with him?
00:45:23Oh, no, no, no, no. Snooky's all right.
00:45:24But Eric isn't feeling too well.
00:45:26He's been murdered.
00:45:27Pity. One good customer fewer.
00:45:29Did you make this head?
00:45:32Mr. Nodhatcher.
00:45:35Eric designed it.
00:45:47The repair queues, Mr. Nodhatcher.
00:45:55Chief.
00:45:56Yes?
00:45:57I saw that young boy in the billiard tub.
00:45:59Detain him and wait for me in my car.
00:46:01Yeah.
00:46:06Tom.
00:46:08After you, sir.
00:46:17Do you recall also having delivered
00:46:19some repaired queues to the Palace Hotel
00:46:21from Mr. Jefferson some time ago?
00:46:22Of course I can.
00:46:24He was murdered the same night.
00:46:26I went to pick up the queues the next day,
00:46:28but you'd already taken them away.
00:46:30Tell me what you have to do in the billiard club
00:46:32to get in the room, eh?
00:46:34There's nothing to it.
00:46:36Each one of us has got his secret password.
00:46:38Pepper, I want you to line up eight tough boys
00:46:40from the police school for tonight.
00:46:42Aye, aye, sir.
00:46:44Miss Finley, please. Perkins here.
00:46:46Have you any idea where the billiard queues
00:46:48that were held in the Jefferson case are now?
00:46:50Sir Arthur is using them at the moment.
00:46:52Why go to his house?
00:46:54He's playing billiards here.
00:46:56We'll join you up once.
00:46:58I don't want you to mention to anyone
00:47:00what we've been talking about, do you get me?
00:47:02Don't worry about it.
00:47:04You've got more important things to think about, Inspector.
00:47:06Can I get out now?
00:47:08Hmm. Okay, stop.
00:47:23Hello, boss, is that you?
00:47:25Dick speaking here.
00:47:27I want to talk to the boss, I said.
00:47:33Yeah, what is it you want?
00:47:35What's so important?
00:47:37Boss, I've got interesting news for you
00:47:39for ten pounds.
00:47:41I'll pay you if it's important enough.
00:47:43The club's going to have some visitors tonight,
00:47:45about eight cops at least.
00:47:47How did you get to hear that?
00:47:49Oh, I don't know.
00:47:50How did you get to hear that?
00:47:52Oh, I got my private connections.
00:47:54Inspector Perkins, a very good friend of mine.
00:47:56You must let it glide delicately
00:47:58through your fingers now, Mabel.
00:48:00Don't tighten up, you've got to relax.
00:48:02It's a wonderful instrument
00:48:04that you can play with carefully.
00:48:06Ready, careful, now.
00:48:08Ah, fabulous, phenomenal.
00:48:10Now we'll try the same position
00:48:12from the other side of the table right away.
00:48:16It's awfully exciting, I must say.
00:48:18May I try alone?
00:48:21Yes.
00:48:30Look what I've done.
00:48:32Oh, really, you must be more careful, Mabel.
00:48:34You can't play billiards wildly like that.
00:48:36Stop dribbling, will you?
00:48:38Perkins?
00:48:40Yes.
00:48:42I want to inform you that the afternoon
00:48:44has been very pleasant so far
00:48:46and I don't want things to change, if you please.
00:48:48Are these Jefferson cues?
00:48:50Perkins!
00:48:52This is a billiard cue, not a telescope, you know.
00:48:54Oh, really, Perkins,
00:48:56I knew you were going to do nothing.
00:48:58Excuse me, sir, have a look at this.
00:49:01This is heroin, Sir Arthur.
00:49:03No, thank you, I don't smoke.
00:49:05Heroin? Where did you get it?
00:49:07As you can see from the cues
00:49:09that belong to Jefferson.
00:49:11I must say, extremely tasty, Sir Arthur.
00:49:13Now, just see what you've done.
00:49:15Your fooling around will make a drug addict of her yet.
00:49:17Miss Finley, put that stuff away.
00:49:19Don't nibble.
00:49:23Sir Arthur, I need your consent for a search warrant
00:49:25for the billiard club, The Glass Eye.
00:49:27The Glass Eye? What do you expect to find there?
00:49:29Headquarters of a gang of dope peddlers
00:49:31and an organization dealing in white slavery.
00:49:33Excuse me.
00:49:34Go ahead.
00:49:36Miss Finley, would you be good enough
00:49:38to make an appointment for the inspector
00:49:40with a psychiatrist?
00:49:42But Sir Arthur, these cues come from The Glass Eye.
00:49:44But they weren't found at The Glass Eye,
00:49:46they were found with Jefferson.
00:49:48We also found a similar Glass Eye
00:49:50when Jefferson was murdered,
00:49:52and on Donovan, as well as on Ventriloquist.
00:49:54Now do you get the point?
00:49:56No. The Glass Eye is an internationally reputed club.
00:49:58Absolutely above board.
00:50:00Why, they hold world championships there all the time.
00:50:02So what? Anyway, we have sufficient grounds
00:50:04to warrant a search of the premises.
00:50:06Without me.
00:50:08All right, without you, then.
00:50:10Is this your final word?
00:50:12Yes, it is.
00:50:14Inspector, the psychiatrist will see you in an hour.
00:50:16Sir Arthur will go on my behalf.
00:50:31You can identify a man by the red ties we're wearing.
00:50:49I'm something, I'm sure.
00:50:51Just look at the ties.
00:50:53Enough to fill the next prison.
00:51:07Just look at that.
00:51:09What did I say?
00:51:11Here comes Perkins.
00:51:13Things will start in a minute.
00:51:15The ten pounds were well spent on the boy,
00:51:16I think.
00:51:18You can say that again.
00:51:20Was that the guy?
00:51:22Yes, that's one of the two men that came to see me.
00:51:26Give me Scotland Yard.
00:51:28Sir Arthur.
00:51:33Your identification.
00:51:35What?
00:51:37Oh, sorry.
00:51:42Good evening.
00:51:44I'm in bad need of repaired cues.
00:51:47Here.
00:51:49Yours are quite all right.
00:51:51Why do you want them changed?
00:51:53But I'll change them if you want.
00:51:58Here you are, sir.
00:52:00Thank you. What do I owe?
00:52:02But you're a member, aren't you?
00:52:04It doesn't cost you anything.
00:52:06Yes, of course.
00:52:10Anything wrong, mister?
00:52:12These are not the cues I wanted, I'm afraid.
00:52:14I'm sorry, sir, we haven't any others.
00:52:16Oh.
00:52:23Those aren't mine.
00:52:25They are yours, mister.
00:52:30Get out.
00:52:32Why be so unfriendly?
00:52:34I'm a member.
00:52:36Out!
00:52:46Get out!
00:53:00A bit of fun again, at last.
00:53:10What's the matter, Pepper?
00:53:12Carry on, my boy.
00:53:17Let me go out there, boss, just for five minutes.
00:53:20What do you say?
00:53:22Idiot, you'll be recognized.
00:53:46Get out!
00:54:03You naughty, bad boy.
00:54:06Chief! Chief!
00:54:08All the cues are made of solid wood,
00:54:10not a single one is hollow.
00:54:12Don't give up, Pepper, keep on looking.
00:54:14Aye, aye, sir.
00:54:16Let's go.
00:54:47Ah!
00:54:50Ah!
00:54:53Oh!
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:24Stop it!
00:55:26Stop it, I say!
00:55:28Please forgive us, gentlemen.
00:55:30It was all an unfortunate mistake.
00:55:32Ouch!
00:55:34Pepper!
00:55:36You're fired, right now!
00:55:39But, Sir Arthur, really, he didn't do it on purpose.
00:55:41Are you quite sure of that?
00:55:43I want everybody belonging to the yard arrested at once.
00:55:45Now we got the police arrested in one another.
00:55:47Really wonderful the way you went about it, boss.
00:55:50I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
00:55:52I want everything advanced by two days, Nuthatcher.
00:55:55Things are getting much too hot around here.
00:55:57Perkins won't give up until he's closed this place down.
00:55:59I know his type.
00:56:01Oh, don't get nervous now, boss.
00:56:03Who's getting nervous?
00:56:05Mice can be caught with the right bait,
00:56:07and I assure you I'll have two Las Vegas heroin mice by tomorrow.
00:56:12Nuthatcher's the man for you.
00:56:14Step right in.
00:56:16Smile.
00:56:18Sergeant Pepper, for your lack of discipline,
00:56:20I will now give you a piece of...
00:56:22Miss Finlay!
00:56:24Did you find out at what time
00:56:26Sir Arthur was telephoned yesterday evening?
00:56:28The exchange received the call at 20.03.
00:56:30All the telephones on the premises
00:56:32were already in our hands by then.
00:56:34In other words, there must be another room
00:56:36with a phone in the house.
00:56:38I'm quite convinced someone warned them.
00:56:40Some idiot must have made a mistake.
00:56:42There were two idiots, I assure you.
00:56:44The errand boy you talked to
00:56:46hasn't been seen for two days.
00:56:48I was afraid of that.
00:56:50Quick, Pepper, we need the cues
00:56:52he delivered Nuthatcher that morning.
00:56:54He's the man who can help us.
00:57:14How are we going to get here?
00:57:16Has the stuff been delivered?
00:57:18I'm afraid not. Things are getting too hot.
00:57:20The police were here.
00:57:22Has perhaps one of you been talking?
00:57:24What a stupid question.
00:57:26Nobody knows that we come here.
00:57:28I'll give you another address.
00:57:30There you'll get your stuff.
00:57:32But we need it now.
00:57:34Come along.
00:57:36Of course, you realize I don't want to lose on this affair.
00:57:38There's a truck in the backyard.
00:57:40The man knows all about it.
00:57:45There.
00:57:47You needn't worry. He's a good friend of mine.
00:57:49Come.
00:58:14Come on.
00:58:45Say, how far is it?
00:58:47You want it real bad, don't you?
00:58:49It's none of your business.
00:58:51We're paying for it.
00:58:53Here.
00:58:55A sample for you.
00:59:04I'm sorry.
00:59:06I'm sorry.
00:59:08I'm sorry.
00:59:10I'm sorry.
00:59:12I'm sorry.
00:59:14I'm sorry.
00:59:26Mr. Nothatcher.
00:59:41Very pious to place the victim in the coffin.
00:59:44The murderer seems to have an exceptionally good aim.
00:59:46Every time, right in the middle of the heart.
00:59:48There was a knife thrower in London
00:59:50who was well known for his perfect aim.
00:59:52But three years ago, he committed suicide.
00:59:55Come on, Pepper. We've got to find the cues.
01:00:03Oh.
01:00:04Did you say something, Mr. Nothatcher?
01:00:07Chief!
01:00:09What is it?
01:00:11He...
01:00:13He's gone.
01:00:14But that...
01:00:15But that's impossible.
01:00:17Ah.
01:00:18A coffin with a false bottom.
01:00:19Well, something new for a change.
01:00:21You see, no journey to heaven without one's luggage.
01:00:33That's enough out of you.
01:00:35Ah.
01:00:36What do you say to that, Pepper?
01:00:38The glass, aye.
01:00:40Seems also to have been a club member.
01:00:42Yes, yes.
01:00:43Ha.
01:00:44Our friend was going on a journey on the 29th
01:00:46on the oil off Ericsson for Caracas.
01:00:48He wasn't very poor, I see.
01:00:50No.
01:00:51Chief!
01:00:52Why, those are Las Vegas girls.
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:55What do you say to that?
01:00:56This girl and this are being detained by us.
01:00:58And Nothatcher's marked them out.
01:01:00I'm sorry.
01:01:01I'm sorry.
01:01:02And Nothatcher's marked them out.
01:01:04Inspector, we've got an important fish in the hook.
01:01:06A dead one, I fear.
01:01:08Forget the cues and narcotics.
01:01:09We've got a case of white slavery on our hands.
01:01:11Find out who the other girls are.
01:01:12Aye, aye, sir.
01:01:13I bet you a hundred to one
01:01:15they're planning to send the Las Vegas girls
01:01:16to South America very soon.
01:01:33Where have you brought us?
01:01:34To the seventh heaven.
01:01:35That's where you wanted to go.
01:01:36Ah!
01:01:37Let go!
01:01:38Help!
01:01:39That's our girl!
01:01:40Let go!
01:01:41Help!
01:01:42No!
01:01:43Let go!
01:01:44Let me go!
01:01:45Help!
01:01:46Leave her alone!
01:01:47Let me go!
01:01:53Open up!
01:01:54Open up!
01:01:55Let me go!
01:01:56Let me go!
01:02:03All of your orders are carried out, boss.
01:02:05One of the best shipments we've ever had.
01:02:07You can cable Zeno and Caracas immediately.
01:02:09But in code.
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:12This evening the Las Vegas don't go on.
01:02:14And then, we're off.
01:02:16But daughters and aunt couldn't have vanished into thin air.
01:02:18I'm sure they'll turn up.
01:02:19But what's the good of that?
01:02:21Your act has been cancelled from tonight's program.
01:02:23The director's fining me a fortune for this.
01:02:25So what's going to happen now, Mr. Parker?
01:02:27You'd better start looking for a new job.
01:02:29Come to my office tomorrow morning
01:02:30with packed bags.
01:02:32Don't imagine that we'll sign every contract you offer us.
01:02:35You certainly don't have to pay.
01:02:37But then you have to give me in cash
01:02:39every penny of the fine I have to pay for you.
01:02:41How much is that for Yvonne?
01:02:43Bruce!
01:02:44A thousand pounds.
01:02:46Do you have it on you?
01:02:52Go on.
01:02:54Why don't I ever meet a man like this?
01:02:57I'll give you three guesses.
01:02:58Bruce, tell me why you did that.
01:03:00You mustn't run away again.
01:03:02I want to marry you.
01:03:04It's out of the question.
01:03:06Tomorrow we go and see my mother.
01:03:08She must get to know you.
01:03:13Thank you, Bruce.
01:03:15I'm sure now you're serious about us.
01:03:29Detailed description to be sent out at once.
01:03:31Chief, you were right as usual.
01:03:33The Cariocas, a foreign dance troupe,
01:03:35had their act cancelled eight days ago in Liverpool.
01:03:37The Blue Dolphins, foreign dance troupe,
01:03:39act cancelled four days ago in Birmingham.
01:03:41The Las Vegas foreign dance troupe,
01:03:43cancelled yesterday evening.
01:03:45Next morning, all had disappeared.
01:03:47Inspector, not seven, but eight ships are sailing out tonight.
01:03:49The Olaf Ericsson has announced
01:03:51that it's leaving two days earlier than planned for Caracas.
01:03:53Send out two men with radio transmitters to the harbour.
01:03:55They're to observe the ship.
01:03:56I want you to have the two detained Las Vegas girls
01:03:58brought to my office.
01:04:00Yes, Chief.
01:04:02I want section three, please.
01:04:04I must say you're extremely lucky
01:04:06the police released you this morning.
01:04:08You got here just in time.
01:04:10When are we sailing?
01:04:12Tonight. You've got to be on board with your luggage in one hour,
01:04:14because of customs and so.
01:04:16And here are the instructions on how to get your tickets.
01:04:18They've already been paid for?
01:04:20Really, it's not worth mentioning, kids.
01:04:22After all, I couldn't abandon you high and dry.
01:04:24John, drive out the car.
01:04:26I'm sure you'll get a chance to repay me.
01:04:37Great idea you had there, Chief,
01:04:39to get those transmitters built in their shoes.
01:04:41You got them?
01:04:43Yes, sir. Switch on the receiver, will you?
01:04:45There.
01:04:47How powerful is the transmitter they've got?
01:04:49Under normal receiving conditions, about 50 miles.
01:04:51The batteries last 24 hours.
01:04:53Now they're moving into Denver Street.
01:04:54Does that ring a bell, Pepper?
01:04:56Denver? Why, that's where the Billion Club is.
01:04:58You're right, sir. It's narcotics and white slavery, too.
01:05:00Now we'll finish off the club, hmm?
01:05:02You want to ruin everything?
01:05:04We want to get every single one.
01:05:08There are two more coming. Take off the customs seal.
01:05:10Okay.
01:05:12Here's another one.
01:05:22Let go, will you?
01:05:24I'll win for you.
01:05:42They're gone.
01:05:44What? How can both transmitters stop simultaneously?
01:05:46I don't know how that's possible, sir.
01:05:48They were last seen in the corner of Liberty and Denver Street.
01:05:50They must be in the Billion Club.
01:05:52Pepper, get my car.
01:05:55George, where's my mother? I want to talk to her.
01:05:57Lady Sheringham doesn't want to be disturbed under any circumstance.
01:05:59I must talk to her. Call her.
01:06:01That's impossible.
01:06:03Tell her I'm here and I insist on speaking to her.
01:06:05Very well, sir.
01:06:25What is it, my dear boy?
01:06:28Good day, Mama.
01:06:30What's the matter? Are you in difficulties?
01:06:32No.
01:06:34Well, what do you want, then?
01:06:36I want to introduce you to the girl I'm going to marry.
01:06:39Have you got another man?
01:06:41No.
01:06:43Well, what do you want, then?
01:06:45I want to introduce you to the girl I'm going to marry.
01:06:48Have you got another man?
01:06:50No.
01:06:51Well, what do you want, then?
01:06:53I want to introduce you to the girl I'm going to marry.
01:06:55Have you got another nightclub type?
01:06:57She's not a nightclub type.
01:06:59She's a dancer.
01:07:01I don't see the difference.
01:07:03You must get to know her, then you'll notice the difference.
01:07:05We'd be wasting our time.
01:07:07I need some money as well.
01:07:09But only yesterday I gave you a thousand pounds.
01:07:11I've spent it.
01:07:13Bruce.
01:07:15Better forget that girl, my boy.
01:07:17She's here.
01:07:19I brought her with me.
01:07:22Let's go.
01:07:29Here she is.
01:07:31This is Yvonne, my mother, Lady Sheringham.
01:07:34Leave us alone, Bruce.
01:07:36Go.
01:07:47Won't you sit down?
01:07:51Why are you wearing sunglasses?
01:07:53Are you hiding something behind them?
01:07:55Only my eyes.
01:07:57They're very sensitive.
01:08:01How much do you want?
01:08:03What do you mean?
01:08:05I'll give you two thousand pounds
01:08:07if you give me your word never to see my son again.
01:08:10You can save your breath, Lady Sheringham.
01:08:12I won't give up Bruce for anything.
01:08:14And I know if he had to choose between you and me,
01:08:16he would choose me.
01:08:18I'll give you three thousand pounds if you go away.
01:08:19No.
01:08:21You're quite wrong
01:08:23if you're under the impression that Bruce loves you.
01:08:25He turns up every single month with some little girl.
01:08:28Why, by next week, he'll have forgotten you.
01:08:31Nora Wilson as well?
01:08:36What do you know of Nora Wilson?
01:08:38Bruce spoke to me about her.
01:08:43Where are you employed?
01:08:45What has that got to do with your decision?
01:08:46Oh, you're a dancer,
01:08:48and I'd like to know where.
01:08:50I'm one of the Las Vegas girls.
01:08:52Is that so?
01:08:54Las Vegas girls.
01:08:57My advice to you
01:08:59is to leave England as quickly as you can.
01:09:01And why?
01:09:03If you really want to know,
01:09:05your love for my son will destroy you.
01:09:07Nora Wilson wasn't destroyed through his love.
01:09:10Nora Wilson ended in a brothel.
01:09:12How do you know that?
01:09:13Did you help to put her in there?
01:09:16Get out of my house.
01:09:21Get out of my house!
01:09:24We shall meet again,
01:09:26Lady Sheringham.
01:09:36Where's Yvonne?
01:09:38She left.
01:09:40She doesn't want to see you.
01:09:41She left.
01:09:43She doesn't want to see you.
01:09:49That isn't true.
01:09:52Why did she go? Why?
01:09:54For 3,000 pounds.
01:09:56She went away forever.
01:10:04Bruce,
01:10:06they're just not worth it.
01:10:08You always let their lovely painted faces
01:10:09and innocent looking eyes deceive you.
01:10:11But believe me,
01:10:13they just aren't worth it.
01:10:32It's more than a pure coincidence.
01:10:34We've never had a better shipment
01:10:36than we have on the Olaf Erikson at this moment.
01:10:38Isn't it strange
01:10:40that now all these people get murdered?
01:10:42Jefferson, Donovan, Nuthatcher.
01:10:44I wonder who'll be next.
01:10:46The police maintain
01:10:48that it was a man with a glass eye that...
01:10:52What are you trying to say?
01:10:54I only got rid of Lila and Eric.
01:10:56They both had to disappear.
01:10:58Or would you have preferred them
01:11:00to go to the police and sing?
01:11:08Maybe one of you two gentlemen
01:11:10can tell me why Norah Wilson
01:11:12isn't a member of the troop on board.
01:11:14Norah Wilson? Who's that?
01:11:16Norah Wilson now calls herself Yvonne Duval,
01:11:19a member of the Las Vegas Girls.
01:11:21Although she was five years ago
01:11:23and according to my instructions
01:11:25transported to South America
01:11:27to be sent to the U.S.
01:11:29by the U.S. Army,
01:11:31she's still a member
01:11:33of the U.S. Army.
01:11:34She was five years ago
01:11:36and according to my instructions
01:11:38transported to South America.
01:11:40She was my son's mistress then.
01:11:43It's not our job to have to get rid
01:11:45of your little Bruce's mistresses.
01:11:47We did it once, that's enough.
01:11:49How dare you talk to me like this?
01:11:52Now listen,
01:11:54Yvonne Duval could denote
01:11:56great danger for us.
01:11:58You will make sure
01:12:00that she is brought on board.
01:12:02Do you understand?
01:12:04Yes, sir.
01:12:11Boss, there's sheer madness.
01:12:13Inspector Perkins has telephoned three times
01:12:15to find out where the Las Vegas Girls are.
01:12:18You'll get her on board
01:12:20with or without a contract
01:12:22and by 10 o'clock
01:12:24you'll be on the Olaf Erikson.
01:12:26It's very quiet here.
01:12:28I've got a feeling the birds have flown.
01:12:30Come on, I want to search the place inside out.
01:12:32What is it?
01:12:34Olaf Erikson, the pilot, is going on board.
01:12:36What should we do?
01:12:38Pray. You start here, Pepper.
01:12:40Give me that thing.
01:12:42He tells you to pray.
01:12:59Just look who's here.
01:13:02Have you changed your mind?
01:13:04I haven't changed my mind after all.
01:13:06Give me back the thousand pounds you cashed on my behalf
01:13:08and I'll sign.
01:13:10What?
01:13:12What should I have done?
01:13:14Ask him to keep his money?
01:13:16Congratulations. Very clever of you.
01:13:18Nora Wilson.
01:13:24How did you find out?
01:13:26Did you think I'd believe that rubbish?
01:13:28First cash the check
01:13:30and then go on board like a good girl?
01:13:32You of all people,
01:13:34you should have done that once before.
01:13:36No, my dear, that's not what we planned.
01:13:38We'll wait here and at ten o'clock
01:13:40we'll go together to the Olaf Erikson.
01:13:42The chief is looking forward to meeting you again.
01:13:44Mr. Parker, you can't do that to me.
01:13:46Oh, yes, I can.
01:13:48You must believe me, Mr. Parker.
01:13:50It's because of the money
01:13:52that I came back to your office.
01:13:54Please don't make me go through that ordeal once more.
01:13:56Please let me go.
01:13:58You want me to let you go
01:14:00so you can run to the police?
01:14:05No.
01:14:12Stop what you're doing.
01:14:14Unlock the door at once.
01:14:20Cut out that nonsense, will you?
01:14:22You wouldn't dare to.
01:14:26You see, Mr. Parker,
01:14:28I do dare.
01:14:31Now unlock the door, will you?
01:14:34Yes, ma'am.
01:14:51Get out of the way.
01:15:04Get out of the way.
01:15:15Perkins, your behavior is absolutely impo...
01:15:18What are you doing there?
01:15:23The secret entrance to the next building, Sir Arthur.
01:15:26What's that about the next building?
01:15:28That's what I always maintain.
01:15:30There's no point in searching the Billiard Club.
01:15:32Yes, sir.
01:15:34Let's go.
01:15:43Pepper, Thompson, find out where this leads to.
01:15:46Perkins, I want to make it perfectly clear
01:15:49that everything that is going on here
01:15:51is without my consent.
01:15:53Yes, I won't forget, Sir Arthur.
01:15:55Found anything, Pepper?
01:15:57Huh? Where are you, Chief?
01:16:01Ah!
01:16:03They've got TV, too.
01:16:05They aren't beginners. Smells of violence here.
01:16:07The Cariocas, the Blue Delphins, and the Las Vegas Girls
01:16:09have left their autographs on the walls,
01:16:11and our friends Linda and Leslie were here, too.
01:16:13And help has returned.
01:16:15I've got to go.
01:16:17I've got to go.
01:16:19I've got to go.
01:16:21I've got to go.
01:16:22Linda and Leslie were here, too,
01:16:24and help was written on the knee.
01:16:26All right. Come up here.
01:16:28Aye, aye, Sir.
01:16:30Perkins, would you be good enough
01:16:33to tell me what you're looking for?
01:16:47Cariocas, 18th December.
01:16:50We confirm the conditions of acceptance
01:16:52or Zeno. Just what I told you, Sir Arthur. Violets.
01:16:55I'm not interested in violets.
01:16:56Violets is a code name for girls.
01:16:58Why, every child knows that.
01:16:59I'm not a child. You should know better than that.
01:17:02Pepper.
01:17:03Sir.
01:17:05In Caracas, they're expecting a shipment of violets
01:17:07and the old Arthur Erickson is the only ship leaving for Caracas.
01:17:09So off you go to the harbour.
01:17:11If the ship is about to sail, it must be stopped at all costs.
01:17:13Aye, aye, Chief.
01:17:14We're receiving them again.
01:17:16They have a different position.
01:17:18Sectional square X-12.
01:17:22Inspector Perkins.
01:17:24HQ for Inspector Perkins.
01:17:26Perkins here.
01:17:27The signal's coming in again.
01:17:28It's coming from the harbour.
01:17:29About mile 16.
01:17:31That's the old Arthur Erickson.
01:17:32Give the alarm.
01:17:33Hurry.
01:17:34We've got them, Sir.
01:17:36Parker's coming with one more girl.
01:17:38When he gets here we can go.
01:17:39Yes.
01:17:40We can leave now.
01:17:42Please, Chief.
01:17:43Wait.
01:17:44I'll be back in a minute.
01:17:46In a minute.
01:17:47Wait.
01:17:48Look at the state they're in.
01:17:49It's just impossible.
01:17:50It's just impossible.
01:17:51They plan to convince us that it's just his imagination.
01:17:53We have to help them.
01:17:55We can't afford to lose the situation.
01:17:57Well, keep on talking.
01:17:59I'm not a dog.
01:18:01I'm not a cat.
01:18:02I'm sure you're not.
01:18:03when he gets here we can go you've got a visitor the chief you've got to wait
01:18:09until you're finished before we can say why what's the matter hmm I don't know

01:18:35don't know
01:18:55is she on board
01:18:59well I want to see her bring her down here what are you waiting for I've asked
01:19:11the ship to wait until I've spoken to her personally I want to have the
01:19:14pleasure of telling her where she's going
01:19:29I know where that is you've told me once before you see here at this very same
01:19:40spot nearly three years ago Nora Wilson I see you obviously haven't forgotten
