00:00:29♪♪
00:00:42Listen, let me be wrong for once.
00:00:44Write a new head.
00:00:52Hey, boy.
00:00:55Yes, sir?
00:00:56Did you find Tracy yet?
00:00:57No, sir. He's still out.
00:00:59When you find Mr. Tracy, would you ask him if he would condescend
00:01:02to want to take a little repertorial chore for me this afternoon?
00:01:05If you don't mind.
00:01:07Oh, no, sir. I don't mind.
00:01:08Don't stand there like an imbecile. Round him up.
00:01:11Yes, sir.
00:01:13Well, they're here, Mr. Bosswick.
00:01:15Who's here?
00:01:15The students.
00:01:16What are they doing here?
00:01:18Mr. Bosswick, don't you remember?
00:01:20It was a promotion tie-up to increase circulation.
00:01:22And what did I promise them?
00:01:25Well, they were to work for you for three days as real reporters.
00:01:28And the one who submits the best story during that time was to receive $50.
00:01:33And a gold medal.
00:01:34Oh, I might have guessed it.
00:01:36I don't know why I let you talk me into these things.
00:01:39Last week you had the place filled with a lot of champion potato pickers.
00:01:42And now the place is going to be overcrowded with a lot of crazy cubs.
00:01:45I won't see them.
00:01:46Mr. Bosswick, they're right beside you.
00:01:50Oh, Mr. Bosswick.
00:01:51These are the young people you've been so anxious to meet.
00:01:54Miss Nancy Drew from the Brinwood School for Young Ladies.
00:01:57I'm very pleased...
00:01:57How are you?
00:01:58Good to meet you.
00:01:59Miss Phyllis Kimball of...
00:02:01How are you? How are you? How are you?
00:02:03Oh, Mr. Bosswick.
00:02:04Are we really going to have real assignments just like real reporters?
00:02:07Why do all of our fans...
00:02:09Can I cover a scandal?
00:02:11Girls, boys.
00:02:13Mr. Bosswick, won't you say a few words to the contestants?
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:17Very soon.
00:02:18Why anyone is simple-minded enough to want to work on a newspaper I've never been able to find out.
00:02:23Why, Mr. Bosswick.
00:02:25Journalism is a very noble and glorious career.
00:02:27With all the adventure and romance and everything, I should think you just love it.
00:02:31I do love it.
00:02:32I love every minute of it.
00:02:34I love my employees, too.
00:02:36Here, take one.
00:02:38All right.
00:02:39I won't look.
00:02:45What'd you get?
00:02:46I've got to write a story about a squirrel in the park.
00:02:49Where's the mayor, Leo?
00:02:50Why?
00:02:51I've got to find out how many babies he kissed last week.
00:02:53A human interest story about a goldfish?
00:02:55Ladies' Amateur Poetry Club.
00:02:57Cozy Nook Tea Room, 1 p.m.
00:02:59All right, now. Come on, get going.
00:03:00All right, children. Come on, come on.
00:03:03And if it isn't news, you needn't bother coming back.
00:03:05Clever idea, isn't it?
00:03:06We'll go into that later.
00:03:07Mr. Bosswick, I don't believe you take us seriously.
00:03:10My dear Miss Hoozies, in regard to your supposition, I see you're not without first precocity.
00:03:19I still haven't been able to find Mr. Tracy.
00:03:21Every time I depend upon a reporter, I'm double-crossed.
00:03:24Oh, all right. Leave a memo on his desk.
00:03:26Tell him to hurry over to the courthouse right away.
00:03:28They're holding an inquest on that Lambert woman.
00:03:30Yes, sir.
00:03:31Yes, sir.
00:03:31In the Seuss School, children.
00:03:57Are you satisfied with your assignment, Miss Drew?
00:03:59Oh, I think it'll do.
00:04:02For a start.
00:04:03Mm-hmm.
00:04:10Dr. Carey, please.
00:04:16Raise your right hand.
00:04:18Do you swear the testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole truth,
00:04:21and nothing but the truth, and out to God?
00:04:22I do.
00:04:23And out to God?
00:04:23I do.
00:04:24Dr. Carey, as autopsy surgeon, you examined the body of Kate Lambert?
00:04:29I did.
00:04:30And what did you find?
00:04:32That Miss Lambert's death was not caused by heart failure, as Dr. Hibbert certified.
00:04:38Her death was caused by a poison, sodium farinide.
00:04:42What is sodium farinide?
00:04:44It's a chemical used in photography.
00:04:46Is such a chemical easily obtained?
00:04:48Oh, no. Only on special order from the manufacturer.
00:04:50It's a new agent, not yet on the open market.
00:04:53In fact, only those who are well advanced in photography know anything about it.
00:05:01Miles Lambert.
00:05:03Mr. Lambert, you were the first to suspect your aunt had not met a natural death?
00:05:06I was.
00:05:09What aroused your suspicions?
00:05:12Well, for years, Dr. Hibbert had assured me that my aunt's heart condition was nothing to worry about.
00:05:17And when she died so suddenly, I was naturally very shocked and surprised.
00:05:22But even so, I didn't suspect anything until I happened to run across a scientific magazine in my aunt's library.
00:05:28There was an article in that magazine which had a great deal of significance to me in view of the circumstances.
00:05:33The article was about sodium farinide.
00:05:36And the portions of it dealing with the chemical's poisonous properties had been carefully marked in pencil.
00:05:44To whom does this magazine belong?
00:05:46It's addressed to Eula Denning.
00:05:49Did you mark this article, Miss Denning?
00:05:51Well, I... I must have.
00:05:53Why?
00:05:55I keep a file of all chemicals I work with, especially poisonous ones and their antidotes.
00:06:00Then you are interested in photography?
00:06:03Yes.
00:06:04How familiar are you with sodium farinide?
00:06:06Well, I... I know something about it.
00:06:10Miss Denning, what was your relationship to Kate Lambert?
00:06:14My mother was her companion for many years.
00:06:16After mother died, Miss Lambert took care of me.
00:06:20Isn't it true that under the terms of Miss Lambert's will, you were the sole beneficiary?
00:06:24Yes, but...
00:06:26Oh...
00:06:27But I didn't kill her.
00:06:29Why, Kate Lambert was the best friend I ever had.
00:06:32She put me through school, treated me as her own child.
00:06:35And yet you coerced her into making a will leaving all her property to you.
00:06:39No.
00:06:39A will that was made less than a week before her death.
00:06:41No.
00:06:42I didn't do it.
00:06:44Someone must have taken the poison from the darkroom.
00:06:46Mr. Garrett, if you had the chemical tinned, that would prove I was innocent.
00:06:50How?
00:06:51Well... Well, the murderous fingerprints would be on it.
00:06:54Not if they'd been removed.
00:06:55But they couldn't be removed.
00:06:57If anyone touched that chemical, the farinide would etch the prints into the metal.
00:07:01A search has been made for the poison container, Miss Denning.
00:07:03It's missing.
00:07:04But it must be in the house somewhere.
00:07:06Miss Denning, you were the only person connected with the Lambert household
00:07:09with the knowledge of sodium farinide.
00:07:12You were the only one who had accessed Miss Lambert's room the night she died.
00:07:15And you were the only one who had motive to commit the murder.
00:07:18I didn't kill her, I tell you. I didn't. I didn't kill her, I tell you.
00:07:21That's all.
00:07:25What's the verdict?
00:07:25The Denning girl's being held for trial. Murder.
00:07:35What's up, baby?
00:07:37Something we didn't figure on.
00:07:39I gotta get out there and put John up on a tin can.
00:07:48Come back here!
00:08:00What's all this about a tin can?
00:08:02There's fingerprints on it.
00:08:03If the cops find it first, we're gonna be in a jam.
00:08:06A jam? How?
00:08:08Never mind how.
00:08:09If your Denning isn't sent up, she'll get all that old lady's dough.
00:08:12Oh, I see.
00:08:14And if she is sent up, the money goes to Miles Lambert.
00:08:17Not bad.
00:08:19How much do you get?
00:08:20Oh, Lambert's take care of me.
00:08:23Looks like I'll have to start being nice to Mr. Lambert.
00:08:25Don't be nice to nobody but me, Lambie-pie.
00:09:08Be careful, baby.
00:09:13Officer, did a man come in here?
00:09:15The DA's closed up this joint, miss.
00:09:17No one can get in here without a fore-order.
00:09:19I'm here to see to that.
00:09:21All right, I'll see to it.
00:09:23I'll see to it.
00:09:25I'll see to it.
00:09:27I'll see to it.
00:09:29I'll see to it.
00:09:31I'll see to it.
00:09:33I'll see to it.
00:09:35I'll see to it.
00:09:37I'm here to see to that.
00:09:38Oh, well, a man bumped into my fender and ran away and...
00:09:41Oh, a hit-and-runner, eh?
00:09:43Yes, and he must be around here someplace.
00:09:45It's the only place he could have gone.
00:09:47Well, in that case, miss, you and I'll just take a look around.
00:09:49Oh, well, maybe you better go on that side of the house
00:09:51and I'll go on this one so he can't escape.
00:09:53Good idea, and if we spot him, yell,
00:09:55I'll come a-runnin'.
00:10:03Hey, what are you doing there?
00:10:05I'm here to read the gas meter.
00:10:07That's the man, officer.
00:10:09He's the one who smashed my fender.
00:10:11Oh, a run-and-hitter, eh?
00:10:13Yes, but I won't prefer charges
00:10:15if you'll pay to have it fixed.
00:10:17Well?
00:10:19A little squared?
00:10:21It'll only cost me three and a half
00:10:23to have my fender fixed and about 50 cents
00:10:25for the gasoline I wasted coming out here,
00:10:27so here's a dollar back.
00:10:29All right, get along with you.
00:10:32Thanks a lot, officer.
00:10:34He had an awful lot of money
00:10:36for a gas meter, Ada.
00:10:38Maybe I'm in the wrong branch of the service.
00:10:40Did he say he was from the gas company?
00:10:42Yeah.
00:10:44Gee, that's kind of funny.
00:10:48I got it, Mr. Postrick.
00:10:50All about the Lambert inquest.
00:10:52I was a little delayed on account of a man
00:10:54ran into my fender and I...
00:10:56So it was you, huh?
00:10:58You switched those assignment slips, didn't you?
00:11:00Well, I always did things like that.
00:11:02At least they do in the movies.
00:11:04And besides, it says right in my textbook
00:11:06on journalism that a newspaper man or woman
00:11:08must stop at nothing to get news.
00:11:10And if she ever intends to impress the editor,
00:11:12she must be willing to do much more
00:11:14than just what the assignment calls for.
00:11:16So there.
00:11:18A thing like this would happen to me.
00:11:20I have it. Every word.
00:11:22Oh, it's sensational.
00:11:24I bet you 2380 you never thought I could do it.
00:11:26Miss Drew, the story of the Lambert inquest
00:11:28Here it is.
00:11:32We were lucky enough to get it from the DA's office.
00:11:40Oh, dear.
00:11:42I was so sure I had a scoop
00:11:44and you'd have to stop the presses.
00:11:46Stop the presses?
00:11:48Or something.
00:11:50My dear little girlie,
00:11:52will you please take pity on a poor, tired old man?
00:11:54If another thing like this happens to me today,
00:11:56I'll have to change.
00:12:04Good morning, Dad.
00:12:06Good morning, pet.
00:12:08Well, how's the star reporter this morning?
00:12:10Don't mention it.
00:12:12You watch. I'll show that Mr. Bostitch
00:12:14or whatever his name is.
00:12:16I'll get a story yet.
00:12:18That's the spirit.
00:12:20Good morning, Miss Nancy.
00:12:22Good morning, Effie.
00:12:24That's just plain old cereal.
00:12:32Dad, I have a favor I want to ask of you.
00:12:34Go right ahead, darling.
00:12:36I'm in a very receptive mood this morning.
00:12:38Go right ahead.
00:12:40Well, Eula Denning needs a good lawyer
00:12:42and I want you to defend her.
00:12:44No, I wouldn't want that case, Nancy.
00:12:46I've been reading about it and I'm afraid the girl's guilty.
00:12:48There's not one bit of extenuating evidence.
00:12:50Just the same. I bet she didn't do it.
00:12:53I don't know. I guess maybe it's just my woman's intuition.
00:12:55But she doesn't look like the type who'd poison anybody.
00:12:57Can't go by type, Nancy.
00:12:59One of the most charming women in history was a murderess
00:13:01and she committed her crimes for far less
00:13:03than the Lambert estate.
00:13:05That's where the man with the funny ear came in.
00:13:07Funny ear? What are you talking about?
00:13:09This man sat next to me during the inquest
00:13:11and afterwards got in a car with a woman
00:13:13and ran into my fender.
00:13:15Nancy, I'm going to take that car away from you
00:13:17if you start having accidents.
00:13:19But it wasn't my fault. I wasn't even in the car.
00:13:21That fender, too. Guess what, Dad?
00:13:23He went right out to that Lambert estate and tried to get in.
00:13:25Probably another reporter.
00:13:27I don't think so. He didn't look smart enough
00:13:29and he acted awfully suspicious.
00:13:31Well, I wouldn't concern myself about it too much.
00:13:33Oh, no! You want it?
00:13:35Certainly. I'm saving it for last.
00:13:37Oh. Goodbye, darling.
00:13:39Bye-bye, Dad.
00:13:51Ted!
00:13:53Oh, Ted!
00:13:57Where are you, Ted?
00:13:59In the garage.
00:14:01What do you want?
00:14:03Come here, will you?
00:14:05Something very important.
00:14:07Oh, I'm busy.
00:14:11Oh!
00:14:13Oh!
00:14:15Oh!
00:14:17Oh!
00:14:19Oh!
00:14:21Oh!
00:14:31Well, where are you?
00:14:33Here!
00:14:35What's the matter?
00:14:37What are you hiding for?
00:14:39Somebody tried to blow up my car.
00:14:41Oh, stop it, will you?
00:14:43It's nothing to get excited over.
00:14:45Nothing to get excited over?
00:14:47How can you say a thing like that?
00:14:49I might have been blown to bits
00:14:51right before my very eyes.
00:14:53It's just a game.
00:14:55A whistle bomb.
00:14:59You mean it's just a practical joke?
00:15:01Sure. It blows off when you press the starter.
00:15:03And boy, did you go
00:15:05into a tailspin.
00:15:07Ted Nickerson, I'll bet you put that thing in there.
00:15:09Oh, don't be an infant.
00:15:11I got better things to do.
00:15:13Fine thing.
00:15:15And that is the civilization.
00:15:17Anyone who deliberately do a trick like that or...
00:15:19Bite down.
00:15:25We didn't do anything!
00:15:29I'm going to tell Mom, you!
00:15:31Look, they got a load of them.
00:15:33They're not mine. They're killer's.
00:15:35Killer Perkins, you grew up to be a fiend.
00:15:37But it was Mary's idea.
00:15:39It certainly was.
00:15:41Mary Nickerson, you ought to be ashamed.
00:15:44That gangster?
00:15:46She's out of my control.
00:15:48Oh, you're just jealous because you didn't think of that first.
00:15:50Give me those.
00:15:52Hey, those belong to my big brother.
00:15:54They don't now.
00:15:56Now go on, get out of here.
00:15:58Before I lose control of myself.
00:16:00Go on, get out of here!
00:16:02Thugs!
00:16:04I'm in the backyard.
00:16:06Don't you dare come in.
00:16:08Nice going, Nancy.
00:16:10The very idea.
00:16:12Just a nice quiet morning at the Drew's.
00:16:14Well, so long. I'll be seeing you.
00:16:16Where are you going?
00:16:18Now where do you think I'd be going with this tennis racket?
00:16:20To shovel coal?
00:16:22I'll tell you where he's going.
00:16:24For ten cents.
00:16:26I wouldn't pay you a penny. I'm not that interested.
00:16:28Then what are you asking for?
00:16:30You get in the house.
00:16:32I'll tell you anyway.
00:16:34He's got a date.
00:16:36He's got a date.
00:16:38With a beautiful girl.
00:16:40Are you going to play tennis again with that woman?
00:16:42What do you mean, woman?
00:16:44She's only two years older than you are.
00:16:46Well, she'd rather play tennis.
00:16:48Why, all right.
00:16:50But I was sort of depending on you to help me.
00:16:52Of course, my getting the best story for the paper isn't really so important.
00:16:54But you know how it is.
00:16:56The honor and everything would be nice.
00:16:58Oh, gosh, Nancy.
00:17:00Oh, it's all right. Go right ahead. Don't mind me.
00:17:02Oh, by the way, I have something for you.
00:17:04What is it?
00:17:06It's nothing, really. Just a little birthday present.
00:17:10I spent the four bucks I had to fix the fender.
00:17:12Gee, Nancy, thanks.
00:17:16But my birthday isn't for two months yet.
00:17:18Is that so?
00:17:20Well, now that you've seen it, you might as well keep it.
00:17:24Gee, thanks.
00:17:26I don't...
00:17:28Oh, gosh.
00:17:30Thanks.
00:17:32You're welcome.
00:17:34Wait a minute, Nancy.
00:17:36Look, I might postpone my tennis date if you really need me.
00:17:38Oh, don't bother. Don't bother.
00:17:40I was just going down to jail to interview Eula Denning
00:17:42and I wanted you to take your camera along.
00:17:44So far, she hasn't allowed anyone to take her picture.
00:17:46Then how do you expect me to get one?
00:17:48Oh, I'd think of a way.
00:17:52Then you don't really need me.
00:17:54Well, reporters always take staff photographers
00:17:56when they're on important assignments.
00:17:58And besides, Dad doesn't like the idea
00:18:01of my going to jail alone.
00:18:03I'll go with you.
00:18:05A jail is no place for children, Mary Nickerson.
00:18:07Oh, let her go. Maybe they'll lock her up.
00:18:09I should say not. Now go on, change your clothes
00:18:11and wear your new hat.
00:18:13All right.
00:18:15I'll get your camera for you, Ted.
00:18:17Hurry now. I want to make the noon edition.
00:18:19And besides, maybe you'll have time to fix my fender.
00:18:23Duped again.
00:18:25No cameras.
00:18:27Well, you see, I...
00:18:29Give the lady your camera, Ted.
00:18:31Huh? Well, okay.
00:18:33All right. Over there.
00:18:39Well, that's that.
00:18:41You should have known you couldn't get a camera in this place.
00:18:43I did.
00:18:49What was in the case?
00:18:51I took out the camera and put in a block of wood.
00:18:53I think you'd hunt something like this.
00:18:55Now look, you don't expect me to take a picture in here
00:18:57after what she said.
00:18:59Of course, silly.
00:19:01And if they catch us, we'll stay here.
00:19:03Oh, stop your worry.
00:19:05Put your hat on.
00:19:07Inside?
00:19:09Of course. You never saw a real newspaper man
00:19:11without his hat on, did you?
00:19:13Ah, they even eat in them.
00:19:15No, no, not like that.
00:19:17It looks awful.
00:19:19For God's sakes, what are you doing?
00:19:21You just gave it to me.
00:19:23No, no, no. Now let me fix it.
00:19:33Fix it is right.
00:19:37Oh, you ruined it.
00:19:45There.
00:19:47Now you look like a real reporter, not a store window dummy.
00:19:51Yes?
00:19:53Miss Danning?
00:19:55I'm Nancy Drew of the Tribune,
00:19:57and this is Mr. Nickerson, my photographer.
00:19:59Oh, a reporter.
00:20:01You seem so young.
00:20:03I guess I'd better explain.
00:20:05We're not real reporters.
00:20:07I just want to win a prize in journalism,
00:20:09and that's why I wanted an interview.
00:20:11What did you say your name was?
00:20:13Nancy Drew.
00:20:15Are you related to Carson Drew, the attorney?
00:20:17He's her father.
00:20:19Oh, I see.
00:20:21Miss Danning, do you know a man with a funny ear?
00:20:23It's all sort of folded up like.
00:20:25No, I don't.
00:20:27Why do you ask?
00:20:29Well, there was one at the inquest,
00:20:31and I was wondering if he was a friend of yours.
00:20:33I don't know who he could be.
00:20:35Miss Danning, I don't think you did anything.
00:20:37That is, I mean,
00:20:39I think you're innocent.
00:20:41If it's all right with you,
00:20:43I'm going to ask my father to come and see you.
00:20:45Oh, if he only would.
00:20:48You see, there's,
00:20:50well, there's so much evidence against me.
00:20:52Why, it's even worse now than it was yesterday.
00:20:54Did they find something else?
00:20:56Police checked with the manufacturers
00:20:58and learned the only sale of sodium farinide
00:21:00made in this part of the country was to me.
00:21:02Uh-oh.
00:21:04Gee.
00:21:06Well, if you only had that tin can,
00:21:08the one the poison came in.
00:21:10You know, you told about it at the inquest yesterday.
00:21:12It's disappeared.
00:21:14Someone probably stole it.
00:21:16I can't understand why they didn't find it.
00:21:18It was...
00:21:20What's the matter?
00:21:22The tin was empty, but I didn't throw it away.
00:21:24I wanted to save it
00:21:26because the manufacturer's address was on it.
00:21:28Gee, think hard.
00:21:30Maybe you can remember what you did with it.
00:21:32I put some empty bottles and things
00:21:34in the basement in an old cupboard.
00:21:38That container must have been with them.
00:21:40Maybe it's still there.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:44Please don't tell anyone.
00:21:46Oh, I almost forgot. Miss Denny,
00:21:48may we take a picture of you?
00:21:50I don't mind.
00:21:52Hurry up, Ted.
00:21:54Thanks a lot, Miss Denny.
00:21:56And we'll let you know what happens.
00:22:04A little bit to your right.
00:22:06Looks sad now.
00:22:08Hold it.
00:22:10Here, what's the big idea?
00:22:12What's going on out here?
00:22:14We're taking the cartel phone to report
00:22:16that we've been found.
00:22:18Is the general one of the prisoners?
00:22:20Ted, I think we'd better be leaving.
00:22:34But what if you can't get in?
00:22:36It's still illegal.
00:22:38It never is the right to do things an ordinary person shouldn't.
00:22:40Oh, boy.
00:22:42Now go ahead and do just exactly as I told you.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:46But if anything happens, don't blame me.
00:22:54Hello.
00:22:56Well?
00:22:58You don't want to subscribe to any magazines, do you?
00:23:00No.
00:23:02I didn't think you did.
00:23:04Are you watching this place?
00:23:07Yep.
00:23:11Well, I guess you get kind of lonesome
00:23:13around here all by yourself, huh?
00:23:15Sometimes.
00:23:17I'm not very busy right now.
00:23:19If you like, I could play a little game
00:23:21of rummy or something.
00:23:23Say, that's an idea, son.
00:23:25Drop a chance.
00:23:27Wow.
00:23:31Look, do you mind if I sit over there?
00:23:33I'm kind of superstitious.
00:23:35Oh, sure, sure.
00:23:45We ought to have something to shoot at, son.
00:23:47Say, a penny a point?
00:23:49A penny a...
00:23:51Yeah, that'll be fine.
00:23:54I'll keep score for you.
00:23:56Da, da, da, da,
00:23:58hurry, Nancy,
00:24:00hurry up,
00:24:02in case I get my own day.
00:24:04Don't do that.
00:24:06It puts me off of my game.
00:24:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:56Come on.
00:25:20What was that noise?
00:25:22What noise?
00:25:24Well, you were just here in place.
00:25:30Maybe so.
00:25:47Ed!
00:25:49Your mother wants you to come home right away.
00:25:51Oh, hello. Glad to see you again.
00:25:55Well, I guess I'll have to be going.
00:25:58How do we stand?
00:26:00I'll figure it out.
00:26:07You got me in a fine mess.
00:26:09I lost my whole week's allowance to that rummy shark.
00:26:12Well, it was worth it. I found the tin can.
00:26:14Yeah?
00:26:15And Ted, that man with the funny ear, was there.
00:26:17He chased me out of the basement.
00:26:19Gosh, Nancy. We took an awful chance.
00:26:23Maybe we shouldn't have done it.
00:26:25We better get this tin right down to the police station
00:26:27and see if Captain Tweedy can find any fingerprints on it.
00:26:30Hey.
00:26:51Suffering cats look at the time.
00:26:53My tennis date was at three.
00:26:54Oh, but this is much more important than tennis.
00:26:56If I pass her off this time, she'll never play with me again.
00:26:58Don't you want to go to the police station?
00:26:59You don't need me. You can tell me about it later.
00:27:01Goodbye.
00:27:03Where are you?
00:27:28Look out!
00:27:29It's a thief!
00:27:30Stop her!
00:27:31Thief!
00:27:32Stop her!
00:27:33Stop her, please!
00:27:50Captain Tweedy, of all people, it would have to be you.
00:27:59Well, where are you standing? Come on, get away.
00:28:01Break it up.
00:28:08Hi, Dad.
00:28:09Hello, Pat.
00:28:10Gee, I'm glad you're home.
00:28:11You are?
00:28:13What are you doing up so late?
00:28:14You get back to sleep.
00:28:16Good night.
00:28:17Oh, but Dad, I can't go to sleep.
00:28:19What's the matter?
00:28:20Nothing.
00:28:22No?
00:28:24Come on in. Tell me all about it.
00:28:29Now.
00:28:31Dad, you've always taught me to do right, haven't you?
00:28:34I've tried to, Nancy.
00:28:36Dad, if I believed in something I knew was right, I should always live up to it.
00:28:41More than that. Don't back down an inch.
00:28:44Supposing you made a promise that you knew was right, I bet you you'd keep it.
00:28:48Certainly.
00:28:49A person who fails to live up to his promise is a weakling.
00:28:53And you'd never want me to break a promise, would you?
00:28:55Of course not, Nancy.
00:28:56If you make a promise in good faith, I'd expect you to live up to it, no matter what it costs you.
00:29:01And you'd help me live up to it?
00:29:03Certainly. What kind of a father do you think I am?
00:29:06Well, then, you're going to defend Eula Denning because I promised her you would.
00:29:10What?
00:29:11Now, Dad, you just said you'd help me keep a promise.
00:29:13Nancy, you tricked me into this. You're always doing that to me.
00:29:16Now, I won't have you.
00:29:19Well, all right.
00:29:20If you can give me any reason to believe that Eula Denning is innocent,
00:29:23I'll take her case.
00:29:24Oh, Dad, I knew you would.
00:29:28Well, Ted and I went out to that Lambert house this afternoon.
00:29:30I sneaked in and found that tin of sodium feraline,
00:29:32the one that Miss Denning claims could have had fingerprints on it.
00:29:34You two went out there alone?
00:29:36Uh-huh. And I know it was important evidence,
00:29:38because that man with the funny ear chased me out of the basement.
00:29:40And, Dad, that's not the worst of it.
00:29:42When I was taking that tin out of the place, a woman stole it from me.
00:29:46So that proves other people are mixed up in this.
00:29:48You should have gone to the police in the first place.
00:29:50Oh, I know it. Everything's gone wrong.
00:29:52I've failed all around. Maybe I'm just not intelligent.
00:29:55That's right.
00:29:56Dad!
00:29:57Oh, I mean, darling, everybody makes mistakes.
00:30:03Don't you see, Dad?
00:30:04If Miss Denning's convicted, it'll be my fault,
00:30:06because I was foolish and lost the only evidence that could maybe save her.
00:30:09I'm responsible.
00:30:11Well, don't worry, Nancy.
00:30:12I'll see Eula Denning first thing in the morning.
00:30:14Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry.
00:30:17I'll see Eula Denning first thing in the morning.
00:30:19Oh, Dad, honestly, I feel ten years younger.
00:30:23Don't be too enthusiastic.
00:30:24So far, there isn't a stick of evidence we can take into court.
00:30:27There will be if you can get hold of that man with the funny ear.
00:30:30You think you'd know him again if you saw him?
00:30:31With that ear? I'll say.
00:30:33It looked like one of Eppie's popovers.
00:30:35Oh, cauliflower ear.
00:30:36What?
00:30:37I thought of cauliflower a little later.
00:30:38What did you say?
00:30:39I'm trying to understand you, Nancy.
00:30:41Well, how can you expect to splash around like a seal after a fish?
00:30:45That's no way to talk to your father.
00:30:46Oh, Dennis Stockings!
00:30:47Oh, why don't you take them out of here?
00:30:49Here, here's a towel.
00:30:50Oh, dear.
00:30:51Now I'll have to start all over again.
00:30:53I said that that man's ear looked like one of Eppie's popovers.
00:30:56I said it was probably a cauliflower ear.
00:30:59That might indicate that he was a boxer or a wrestler.
00:31:02Really?
00:31:03What connection such a man could have with this case is more than I can see.
00:31:06Dad, I felt all along that that man with the funny ear was a clue.
00:31:09I think you ought to do something about him.
00:31:12I'm going to do something about a girl with a funny face.
00:31:14Come on, baby.
00:31:15You're going to bed.
00:31:16Oh, Dad, put me down.
00:31:17I'm no baby.
00:31:18You'll always be your daddy's baby.
00:31:19I won't be anybody's baby.
00:31:21Everybody loves a baby.
00:31:23That's why I'm in love with you.
00:31:25Pretty baby, baby.
00:31:26Oh, stress.
00:31:27Pretty baby.
00:31:28Dad, don't be so silly.
00:31:32Good night, baby.
00:31:34Good night, baby.
00:31:36Good night, baby.
00:31:38I'm going to leave you now.
00:31:40Oh, Dad, we've got to talk this thing over.
00:31:42In the morning, the morning, the bright and early morning, the morning.
00:31:55Hello.
00:31:57I'm Nancy Drew.
00:31:59John, I'm sure.
00:32:00Draw up a chair.
00:32:03No, thank you.
00:32:04I've been standing all day.
00:32:06Do you keep pictures of all kinds of prize fighters and people like that?
00:32:09You should meet some of my wife's folks.
00:32:11But you came to the right place, sister.
00:32:13I know them all personally.
00:32:14What's your guy look like?
00:32:16Oh, you'll know him in a minute.
00:32:18He has a college tower here.
00:32:30Here.
00:32:31If you recognize him, let me know.
00:33:02Ted!
00:33:03Hi, Ted!
00:33:04What do you want?
00:33:05Well, don't make me yell.
00:33:06Come here!
00:33:07Excuse me a second, Helen.
00:33:12How did you find me here?
00:33:14Hello, Ted.
00:33:15I'm alone.
00:33:16Oh, I get it.
00:33:17Where would one expect to find you these days?
00:33:19Ted's got a girlfriend.
00:33:21Ted's got a girlfriend.
00:33:23Quiet, small fry.
00:33:24She's not so pretty.
00:33:25I bet Ted thinks so.
00:33:26Look, what's on your mind?
00:33:27Look at this good thing I found.
00:33:29Here, let me see.
00:33:32Soxie Anthons.
00:33:33Who's that?
00:33:34He's the man I saw at the Lambert place.
00:33:35He used to be a boxer.
00:33:36And right now, he's at Maxi's Gymnasium on First Street.
00:33:38How do you know?
00:33:39Yeah, how do you know?
00:33:40Well, I just asked myself where I'd go if I were a prize fighter,
00:33:42and decided it would be to a gymnasium.
00:33:44So I called up all the places in town
00:33:46and pretended I was Mr. Anthons' girlfriend.
00:33:48Pretty soon I found out he was at Maxi's,
00:33:50and I hung up.
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:52Well, it was nice of you to tell me about it.
00:33:54I gotta get back.
00:33:55Goodbye, Ted.
00:33:56Certainly, I don't want to keep you.
00:33:58I just thought I'd let you know where I'll be
00:34:00in case Dad asks you.
00:34:01You're not going down to that gym alone.
00:34:03Of course I am.
00:34:04Something has to be done about Soxie right away.
00:34:06He's important to everyone.
00:34:07So you came over here to tell me about it,
00:34:09so I'll get in a jam with your father
00:34:10for letting you go there.
00:34:11I did no such thing.
00:34:12You're not responsible for me.
00:34:14We'll go with you, Nancy.
00:34:15We just love fights, don't we, killer?
00:34:17I hope to kiss a polecat.
00:34:19You two will not go.
00:34:20Why not?
00:34:21Never mind.
00:34:22Oh, darn it, Nancy.
00:34:23Now you got me worried.
00:34:24Maybe I better go alone.
00:34:25Oh, I don't think you ought to, Ted.
00:34:26It's a pretty tough place.
00:34:27I can take care of myself, and you too.
00:34:29Well, if you insist.
00:34:32Here.
00:34:33What's this?
00:34:34Your costume.
00:34:35You'll pose as another boxer
00:34:36by the name of One-Round Lugan.
00:34:37Gain Soxie's confidence, and who knows?
00:34:39Maybe he'll incriminate himself.
00:34:41Say, you had this all figured out, didn't you?
00:34:43Why, Ted Nickerson, I did not.
00:34:46Ten cents.
00:34:49Here.
00:34:50I'll come and get it.
00:34:53Now what's the big stuff?
00:34:56I'm in any old agency.
00:34:58I'll come and get it.
00:35:01You'll come and get it.
00:35:04I'll come and get it.
00:35:07I'll come and get it.
00:35:10You'll come and get it.
00:35:13And then the old lady goes off.
00:35:18This is an awful joint.
00:35:20Ted, there he is.
00:35:23Ted, I'm positive that woman that stole the tin can from me yesterday is Loxie's girlfriend.
00:35:27Now, all you have to do is get him to tell you her name and where she lives.
00:35:30Maybe you'd like to know if she's got any bridge work.
00:35:33How will that help?
00:35:34Do you remember, Captain Tweedy always said,
00:35:37Find the woman.
00:35:38Very smart thing he ever did say.
00:35:39Yeah, and he stole that.
00:35:41But it's true. You can always get information from women.
00:35:43They just love to talk.
00:35:45Yeah, I've noticed that.
00:35:47Go ahead now. I'll wait out here for you.
00:35:51Gosh, he...
00:35:52He doesn't look very friendly, does he?
00:35:54Remember, you're one round Lugan.
00:36:03Wait a minute. What's the name?
00:36:05One round Lugan.
00:36:06All right, check it.
00:36:12Hiya, champ.
00:36:13I ain't no champ.
00:36:15You sure train like one.
00:36:18I'm kind of new around this break.
00:36:19I've been putting the boys on the canvas up in Frisco.
00:36:22Yeah?
00:36:23I'll be enough for that.
00:36:25Say, didn't I see you with a nice looking dame the other night?
00:36:27What's your name?
00:36:28One round Lugan.
00:36:30I'll bet that baby...
00:36:31One round Lugan.
00:36:32Never heard of you.
00:36:34I ain't very well known around here yet.
00:36:36How about Spiney for you, Al?
00:36:38That'll get you some money.
00:36:39Say, how about Spiney for you, Al?
00:36:41That'll get you some attention.
00:36:42Oh, I ain't gonna do any training today.
00:36:46If you're a fighter, you're in training all the time.
00:36:49Well...
00:36:49Well, I didn't bring my clothes.
00:36:51It's all right. I'll get you some.
00:36:53Hey, Jake.
00:36:54Yeah?
00:36:55Maybe get up a pair of trunks.
00:36:57You're gonna show me how to do things out in Frisco.
00:36:59Oh, sure. Well, come on.
00:37:01But I'd really rather not.
00:37:09I want some gum, please.
00:37:39Max, it's Jim.
00:37:40This is Soxie Anthony's girlfriend speaking.
00:37:43Will you have him call me back as soon as he can?
00:37:45Wait a minute. He's right here.
00:37:50Hey, Soxie.
00:37:51Your girlfriend wants you to call her right away.
00:37:53Okay.
00:38:09Come on.
00:38:32Come on, let's go.
00:38:33No, no, not there.
00:38:35Come on, through here.
00:38:36Hey!
00:38:37Get in there, will you?
00:38:38In you go.
00:38:42All right, Soxie, warm up a little bit.
00:38:45A little. That's it.
00:38:51Ha-ha. No dames.
00:38:53Oh, but I've got to go in there.
00:38:55I'm his manager.
00:38:56A manager?
00:39:00Ted, what are you doing?
00:39:02Oh, gee, Nancy.
00:39:03I'm an awful mess.
00:39:05Well, I just learned something that might be an important clue.
00:39:07Come on, I want to go.
00:39:08So do I.
00:39:09But I can't.
00:39:10I've got to fight him.
00:39:12Fight him?
00:39:14Oh, Ted, you mustn't.
00:39:16I'll get mobbed or something if I don't.
00:39:18Oh, dear.
00:39:20Oh, look, maybe he's out of condition.
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:23Like an ox.
00:39:25Okay, one round. Let's go.
00:39:26Ready, Jake?
00:39:27All set.
00:39:31Well, goodbye, Nancy.
00:39:35Now, folks, we're going to have a little excitement.
00:39:37Three-round boxing exhibition
00:39:39between Soxie Anthens of Chicago, who we all know.
00:39:47And one-round move in the Frisco Flats.
00:39:52All right, boys, go to your corners and come out fighting.
00:39:56Why, one round. Your glove's untied.
00:39:58Here, let me fix it for you.
00:40:04Nancy, you're a genius.
00:40:08Now, if I can only tag you.
00:40:12Come on, Soxie. Come on.
00:40:15Hit him again, Ted. I mean, Morgan.
00:40:23Tag him on a whisker, Soxie.
00:40:25Ah, the kid ain't got no whiskers yet.
00:40:27He has, too.
00:40:34Chop one off.
00:40:36Chop one off.
00:40:40Oh, chase him for a change.
00:40:46How much time left?
00:40:47Come on, Ted. Don't be so nice to him.
00:40:53Come on, Ted.
00:40:54Hit him again. Hit him again.
00:40:56Come on. Come on, Morgan.
00:40:58Come on, hit him.
00:40:59Hit him. Hit him.
00:41:01Come on, Ted. There you go.
00:41:02Come on, hit him.
00:41:05Come on.
00:41:07Ted.
00:41:09Ted.
00:41:10Oh, Ted, speak to me.
00:41:12Speak to me.
00:41:14Ted, what happened?
00:41:15That's what I was just about to ask you.
00:41:19Try 352449.
00:41:24Gee, I wonder what they're doing.
00:41:26I don't know, killer.
00:41:27Maybe they're both insane.
00:41:30Hello.
00:41:31This is Soxie Anthens.
00:41:33Is my girlfriend there?
00:41:38No, sir.
00:41:40Dear, there's only one more we can call.
00:41:43And that just has to be it.
00:41:44If you got the rest of them right.
00:41:46Oh, I'm sure I have.
00:41:47Yeah, okay.
00:41:50Oh, look at me. I'm ruined.
00:41:52I won't even dare show up for my tennis lessons now.
00:41:55Tennis lessons?
00:41:56Ted, is that girl you've been playing with a tennis teacher?
00:41:59Sure, it's Helen Winfield, the champ.
00:42:02Those lessons cost me 150 a copy.
00:42:04Tennis teacher?
00:42:06Oh, that's wonderful.
00:42:07I mean, I'm sorry about your lessons, but...
00:42:09Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:42:11Nothing, nothing.
00:42:12Now try that other number, 352440.
00:42:15Maybe you ought to be psychoanalyzed.
00:42:19Oh, I'm going home and get me a cookie.
00:42:21Get me one too.
00:42:22I'm going to stay here and find out what it's all about.
00:42:25Okay, pal.
00:42:30Room clerk, Beldenburg Hotel.
00:42:32This is Mr. Soxie Anthons.
00:42:34I... I'm calling my girlfriend.
00:42:36Well, she isn't here just now, Mr. Anthons.
00:42:39It's the place.
00:42:40How'll I get her name?
00:42:41Be strategic.
00:42:42Yeah, yeah.
00:42:45Do you know where Miss Fultz went?
00:42:47No, I don't, but...
00:42:48I'll see if she left a message in your box.
00:42:50Soxie lives there too.
00:42:52Really?
00:42:54No, there's no message, Mr. Anthons.
00:42:56Shall I tell her you called?
00:42:57Just a moment.
00:42:58Well, Joe, did Miss Lucas take your cab?
00:43:01Yeah, why?
00:43:02Her name's Lucas.
00:43:03Yeah.
00:43:05She went to the Mandarin Café, Mr. Anthons.
00:43:08Well, thank you very...
00:43:09Thank you very much.
00:43:12Mandarin Café.
00:43:21Do you have any money?
00:43:24Well, I don't have any money.
00:43:26Well, don't brag about it.
00:43:29Neither have I, I don't eat too much.
00:43:32Oh, boy, a Chinese place.
00:43:35Mary Nickerson.
00:43:36We just love Chinese places, don't we, killer?
00:43:38For God's sakes, where did you hoodlums come from?
00:43:41Thought you'd get away from us, didn't you?
00:43:43Yeah.
00:43:44You're going home.
00:43:45We are not.
00:43:47We might get lost.
00:43:48We're going with you.
00:43:49Over my dead body.
00:43:50Mine too.
00:43:51Well, I guess I'll just have to call up Nancy's father then.
00:43:55Oh, all right, all right.
00:43:56I suppose we'll have to do it.
00:43:58But on one condition.
00:43:59When the waiter takes your order, you say, I'm not hungry.
00:44:02But I am.
00:44:03How about you, killer?
00:44:04I'm starved.
00:44:05We haven't enough money.
00:44:07Are you going to cooperate with us or not?
00:44:08How about it, killer?
00:44:10Sure, we'll play ball.
00:44:11Okay, let's go.
00:44:12Wait a minute.
00:44:13Let's just try this once.
00:44:14Now, I'm the waiter.
00:44:16What'll you have?
00:44:17Pass.
00:44:19Pass to me.
00:44:20No, no.
00:44:21Look, we're broke.
00:44:22We can't buy you any food.
00:44:24Would you settle for a glass of milk?
00:44:26Well, we might go that far.
00:44:28Okay, it's a deal.
00:44:31Ted, why do you have to have a sister?
00:44:34Ask Ma.
00:44:43Oh, I'm afraid this is a little too close to the orchestra.
00:44:55This'll be fine.
00:44:56Thank you very much.
00:44:58Ted, did you see?
00:45:00She's right in the next booth.
00:45:01With Miles Lambert.
00:45:02She is?
00:45:03Come on.
00:45:05Something's funny.
00:45:06I'm positive that's Soxie's girl.
00:45:08And yet she's stepping out with Mr. Lambert.
00:45:10Do you suppose Soxie knows Lambert?
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:13Then be out.
00:45:15What for?
00:45:16Never mind.
00:45:19Never mind that.
00:45:25Come on.
00:45:31Max, it's Jim.
00:45:32Soxie!
00:45:39Hello?
00:45:41Mr. Anthony, this is a friend.
00:45:43Would you be interested in knowing that Miss Lucas
00:45:46is dining with Miles Lambert at the Mandarin Cafe?
00:45:49Who's talking?
00:45:55Who'd you call?
00:45:56I phoned Soxie about Lambert and Miss Lucas.
00:45:58And was he mad.
00:46:00Suffering cats.
00:46:01We may learn something important.
00:46:03Because when he gets here, something sure to happen.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06Probably a tall one.
00:46:08What'll you order, please?
00:46:09Oh, I'll have some egg foo young.
00:46:13Egg foo young?
00:46:14Egg foo young.
00:46:15Egg foo young.
00:46:16Egg foo young.
00:46:17Egg foo young.
00:46:19Egg foo young.
00:46:20Egg foo young.
00:46:21Egg foo young.
00:46:22Egg foo young.
00:46:23Egg foo young.
00:46:24And you?
00:46:26Just tea.
00:46:28And you too, please.
00:46:33Glass of milk.
00:46:36And chopped suey.
00:46:37Yes, yes.
00:46:38Ted, look.
00:47:09Soxie.
00:47:10You cheap little...
00:47:11Take it easy, Soxie.
00:47:12Sit down.
00:47:14You've been planning to run out on me
00:47:16ever since you found out Lambert is moving in on that old lady's dough.
00:47:19Shut up, Soxie.
00:47:20As for you, wise guy, you want this dame, she's yours.
00:47:23But the minute you and her try a break, you're gonna get a surprise.
00:47:26I still got the tin can with fingerprints on it.
00:47:30I know what to do with it.
00:47:32Why, you...
00:47:35Soxie, Soxie, don't.
00:47:37Hey, what's the matter?
00:47:38What's the matter?
00:47:41I'll go call a priest.
00:47:42No, no, don't do that.
00:47:44I'll go get him.
00:47:45We don't want any publicity.
00:47:48Come on, darling.
00:47:49I'll go get him.
00:47:51Where's the other man?
00:47:52Get the checks.
00:47:53I gotta call Dennis.
00:47:54Sure.
00:48:03Yes?
00:48:04Your daughter's on the phone, Mr. Drew.
00:48:06Hello, Nancy.
00:48:08Dad, what happens to the Lambert estate if Eula Denning is convicted?
00:48:11Goes to Miss Lambert's nearest relative, Miles Lambert.
00:48:14Why do you ask?
00:48:15Oh, I was just wondering.
00:48:16Thanks, Dad.
00:48:21Come on, Ted, hurry up.
00:48:22Give me some dough, I'm short.
00:48:25That's all I have.
00:48:28Sixty-five cent more, please.
00:48:30Look, mister, that's all we got.
00:48:32Maybe you'll trust us, huh?
00:48:35Oh, sure, sure.
00:48:36Look, you nice people, I trust you.
00:48:38Oh, thank you very much.
00:48:39Come on, Ted, we've gotta hurry.
00:48:40Sixty-five cent.
00:48:42But you just said you'd trust us.
00:48:45You see, mister, we gotta go home and get the money from our folks.
00:48:47But we'll come back.
00:48:49Sixty-five cent.
00:48:52Now look what you got us into.
00:48:54We don't know nothing about it.
00:48:55Do we, Keller?
00:48:57No, they invited us.
00:49:00Look, mister, we haven't got sixty-five cents.
00:49:03Cut check?
00:49:04No sixty-five cent?
00:49:05Yeah, that's right.
00:49:18You wash dishes all the day.
00:49:21Maybe two, three days.
00:49:23Hey, where you go?
00:49:24Kitchen that way.
00:49:25Kitchen that way.
00:49:26Now look.
00:49:28Oh, I don't want to wash dishes.
00:49:30I'm awful tired, but I can supervise.
00:49:32You're gonna wash dishes, both of you.
00:49:34And it'll serve you right, too.
00:49:35Oh, mister.
00:49:36Maybe she could entertain.
00:49:38Entertain?
00:49:39Yeah, she's a famous singer.
00:49:40I thought she was my pal.
00:49:41What are you trying to do?
00:49:42You must be winging.
00:49:44I'm sure she's sung all over the world.
00:49:46All right.
00:49:47You sing nice, American songs.
00:49:49No good washing dishes.
00:49:50Come on, quick.
00:49:55What'll I sing?
00:49:56Anything.
00:49:57Little Bo Peep.
00:49:59Oh, dear.
00:50:01We'll be in for life after this.
00:50:04Hey, mister.
00:50:05Can't you help her out?
00:50:09Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep.
00:50:14But she knows just where to find them.
00:50:19For they all stand around the bend.
00:50:24Wagging their tails behind them.
00:50:28I diddle diddle, the cat has fizzed.
00:50:31The cow has began to prune.
00:50:33Oh, little dog, less, less, less.
00:50:35Because you're never in tune.
00:50:37Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.
00:50:42Mary had a little lamb.
00:50:45He said, I'll see you later.
00:50:47He went off to hear them jam, hear them jam, hear them jam.
00:50:52Mary had a little lamb.
00:50:54Mary had a little lamb.
00:50:56Now he's an alligator.
00:50:59Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow.
00:51:01Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow.
00:51:03Can you or I or anyone know how oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?
00:51:08Grab yourself a partner.
00:51:10Grab yourself a partner.
00:51:13Open the ring and choose one in while we all gaily laugh and sing.
00:51:18Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
00:51:20How I wonder what you are.
00:51:22How I wonder what you are.
00:51:24Up above the world so high.
00:51:27Like a diamond in the sky.
00:51:29Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop when the wind blows the cradle will rock.
00:51:58When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all.
00:52:10Rock it, my baby.
00:52:20We all love music, so go to town and rock it, my baby.
00:52:27Rock it, my baby.
00:52:37Rock it on down.
00:52:43Ah, Mr. Drew, we're all present.
00:52:46Now, here's the $50 and the medal.
00:52:49And now if Mr. Bostwick has chosen the best news story submitted by our charming...
00:52:54I didn't give the prize to this one.
00:52:56About the humane worker who invented a nutcracker for Toothless Squirrel.
00:53:00That's me.
00:53:02I won! I won!
00:53:04It is with great...
00:53:05Unless Miss Drew has a better story.
00:53:07Oh, I have a story, Mr. Bostwick, but it's very confidential.
00:53:11You see, my father...
00:53:17Well, what is it?
00:53:21Here it is, Mr. Bostwick.
00:53:22Some strange man called my father and said he had the missing tin of sodium faranite.
00:53:28With fingerprints on it that would prove Eula Deming is innocent.
00:53:31It would show up the real murderer of Kate Lambert.
00:53:34Is this true?
00:53:35Why, Mr. Bostwick, you know my father's reputation, and I wouldn't tell a lie.
00:53:41Go on, go on.
00:53:43Furthermore, a man is bringing the tin to my father's office this evening.
00:53:48Terrific.
00:53:50Hey, Charlie, stop the presses.
00:53:52You're wonderful, Miss Drew.
00:53:53Hold page one for replay.
00:53:55Out of story yet?
00:53:56Hey, rewrite!
00:53:57Don't stand there like a halfwit.
00:53:59Give her the money.
00:54:00She won.
00:54:01Congratulations.
00:54:02And now, Miss Drew, I take great pleasure in presenting you the check and the medal.
00:54:07Oh, well, give the check to the others and I'll just take the medal.
00:54:11Come on, Ted, we're in a hurry.
00:54:21Remarkable.
00:54:23Remarkable.
00:54:24Isn't it a whopper?
00:54:25So Soxie Anthon's going to spill the beans, eh?
00:54:28Well, well.
00:54:29You don't understand, Sergeant Entwistle.
00:54:31That story isn't true.
00:54:33Must be true.
00:54:34It's printed in the paper.
00:54:35Nancy just made it up.
00:54:36What they printed for it isn't true.
00:54:38That's the trouble with the newspapers these days.
00:54:40Well, it wasn't their fault.
00:54:41I made the editor think the story was on the level.
00:54:44Why?
00:54:45Oh, dear.
00:54:46Sergeant Entwistle, are you sure Captain Tweedy won't be back?
00:54:48Sure, I'm sure.
00:54:49He's in Chicago on a radio interview on how to avoid crime.
00:54:52He's done it, all right.
00:54:54Just the same.
00:54:55I'll bet he'd understand.
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:57What's Captain Tweedy got that I haven't got?
00:54:59Well, for one thing...
00:55:00Well, for one thing...
00:55:01Look, Sergeant, I put that story in the paper so the police could trap the real murderer
00:55:05of Kate Lambert.
00:55:06Well, that's different.
00:55:07How?
00:55:08Well, for one thing...
00:55:09Well, for one thing...
00:55:10I put that story in the paper so the police could trap the real murderer of Kate Lambert.
00:55:13Well, that's different.
00:55:14How?
00:55:15Don't you see?
00:55:16That paper will be on the street any minute.
00:55:18And if Lambert is really the murderer, he'll go to Soxie's room after that tin can the minute
00:55:21he reads the story.
00:55:22He'll think Soxie's going to double-cross him or something.
00:55:25Miss Drew, I'm so influenced to think you've got something.
00:55:28Of course I have.
00:55:29Now, all you have to do is be at Soxie's place when Lambert arrives and arrest them both
00:55:32with the evidence.
00:55:33Where's this guy Soxie live?
00:55:35Room 815, Beldenburg Hotel.
00:55:36We'll go along and help you identify them.
00:55:38No, you kids can't come along.
00:55:39Oh, but I've got to go along.
00:55:40I want to get an eyewitness news story about how you handle the case.
00:55:43When they read what I write, you'll probably be promoted.
00:55:46Yeah?
00:55:47I see what you mean.
00:55:48All right, you kids got the promise to keep out of trouble?
00:55:50Oh, sure, we promise.
00:55:51We promise.
00:55:52This is Sergeant Entwistle.
00:55:53Send up a couple squad cars.
00:55:55Hey, no.
00:55:56You mustn't do that.
00:55:57If those men see police around, they'll run away.
00:55:59Or at least get rid of that tin.
00:56:01Yes, I see what you mean.
00:56:02All right, I'll go alone.
00:56:03Capture them single-handedly.
00:56:04That'll be much better, but if they even see you, then...
00:56:07Oh, don't worry about that.
00:56:08They'll never know me.
00:56:09I'll wear that disguise I wore on the Cullen case.
00:56:11Here it is, Sergeant.
00:56:13Oh, thanks.
00:56:26Oh, careful.
00:56:28Grandma's medicine.
00:56:29Clumsy.
00:56:32Good evening, young man.
00:56:33Good evening, madam.
00:56:34Will you register Arthur?
00:56:35Huh?
00:56:36Oh, sure, Grandma.
00:56:38Grandmother would like the same one she had the last time she was here.
00:56:41What was it, Grandma?
00:56:42Why, let's see.
00:56:43My memory ain't what it used to be.
00:56:45Was it 815?
00:56:48Well, 815 is occupied, Mrs. Plopper, but I can give you the one right next to it.
00:56:52Oh, that would be wonderful.
00:56:53Yes, that'll have to do.
00:56:55You see, I have to be up high on the count of my asthma.
00:56:58I see.
00:57:00Show Mrs. Plopper to 817.
00:57:02Here comes, children.
00:57:03Here comes, children.
00:57:05Why don't they make these doors bigger?
00:57:08Careful, Arthur.
00:57:09Yes, Grandma.
00:57:26Anything else, madam?
00:57:27No, thanks.
00:57:29There you are.
00:57:34Get those bags open.
00:57:37Did I tell you about my disguise?
00:57:39Not here, Sergeant.
00:57:40Okay.
00:57:41Did I fool them?
00:57:43Did I fool them?
00:57:45Anything happens, I'll give you the signal.
00:57:47Right.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:29Help me do that, will you, Nancy?
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:34This one goes in the wall.
00:58:42Pull that wire through, will you, Nancy?
00:58:43Sure.
00:58:49Here.
00:58:50Okay.
00:58:52I don't like this business, Nancy.
00:58:54Gives me the wim-wims.
00:58:55I know.
00:58:56Me, too.
00:59:03All sit here.
00:59:04If you don't hear me, let me know.
00:59:06I can hear him.
00:59:07Can you?
00:59:34I'm sorry.
00:59:51Why?
00:59:52Why?
00:59:53I'm so sorry.
00:59:54Why?
00:59:55I guess I must be in the wrong room.
00:59:57What's your name?
00:59:58My name is Mrs. Crawford.
00:59:59Help!
01:00:00Help!
01:00:01Get the wagon!
01:00:02Send it off!
01:00:03Help!
01:00:04Oh, do something!
01:00:05Oh!
01:00:06Hello?
01:00:07Drop that phone.
01:00:08We weren't doing anything.
01:00:09Honest, we weren't.
01:00:10No.
01:00:11No.
01:00:12We were merely trying to...
01:00:13Shut up.
01:00:14Come on.
01:00:15Get the wagon.
01:00:16Send it off.
01:00:17Help!
01:00:18Help!
01:00:19Help!
01:00:20Help!
01:00:21Help!
01:00:22Help!
01:00:23Help!
01:00:24Help!
01:00:25Help!
01:00:27Come on.
01:00:28Get up, you.
01:00:34All right.
01:00:35Get out of here.
01:00:42Come on.
01:00:46Upstairs.
01:00:47All right.
01:00:48Hurry it up.
01:00:54Come on.
01:00:57Come on.
01:01:04Mister, what are you going to do to us?
01:01:11All right, in here.
01:01:27I wonder what they did to Sergeant Entwistle.
01:01:29Gosh, I don't know.
01:01:40We've got to get out.
01:01:41Yeah, I know.
01:01:45It's no use, Nancy.
01:01:46Let's yell.
01:01:48Yeah, together.
01:01:50Help!
01:01:51Help!
01:01:52Somebody help!
01:01:53See?
01:01:54I hope you got machine guns in this picture.
01:01:56So do I.
01:01:57Say, look.
01:02:02Nancy's car.
01:02:05Let's let the air out of the tires.
01:02:07We ought to do something.
01:02:08Say, I just remembered.
01:02:19Hey, those are mine.
01:02:24Let's put them all on.
01:02:28Help somebody!
01:02:31There's not a chance, Nancy.
01:02:33Not a chance.
01:02:34With hundreds of people right under our feet,
01:02:36there must be some way out.
01:02:39What's that?
01:02:40Oh, it's just a fuse box.
01:02:43Say, those are the fuses to the electric sign.
01:02:47If we turned that off, we'd get some attention.
01:02:49Well, they wouldn't notice it for hours, maybe.
01:02:51By that time, it'll be too late.
01:02:53Bell, little girl.
01:02:55Wait a minute.
01:02:57I've got an idea.
01:03:10There.
01:03:11That ought to create a sensation.
01:03:12And this will help.
01:03:14Look.
01:03:23That's a hotel.
01:03:24That's a hotel.
01:03:35Get the engineer to fix it right away.
01:03:43Come on.
01:04:07Somebody's coming.
01:04:09Hurry up!
01:04:13Downstairs, a criminal.
01:04:14We gotta catch him.
01:04:15Follow me.
01:04:27Why, you are gonna double-cross me.
01:04:31Get the police, quick.
01:04:32All right.
01:04:34Give me that.
01:04:41That'll hold him.
01:04:44Ted, hurry up.
01:04:45All right.
01:04:50You're a punchy, Lambert.
01:04:51That story in the paper was a phony.
01:04:53Yeah?
01:04:54But you're still hanging on to that tin can, aren't you?
01:04:56Sure.
01:04:57I guess I have to prove you killed the old dame.
01:04:59I don't trust you.
01:05:00You'll get your dough as soon as they convict you of a death.
01:05:02If I were gonna double-cross you, you don't think I'd tie up the law here, do you?
01:05:06Where'd he come from?
01:05:07He was looking for that tin can.
01:05:09Say, this is a frame.
01:05:11Say, this is a frame.
01:05:29They're getting away.
01:05:40Hurry up.
01:05:47Come on, let's grab this.
01:06:02They're getting away in my daughter's car.
01:06:11Hey! Hey!
01:06:16Hey!
01:06:18Hey!
01:06:21After the man!
01:06:41Nancy, get off that car!
01:06:43Stop, you idiot! That's the car I'm chasing!
01:06:48Come on!
01:06:52Now, what's this all about?
01:06:54That's him!
01:06:55That's the man that poisoned the Lambert woman!
01:06:57And here's the proof!
01:06:58Hi, Dad!
01:06:59Nancy, how many times have I told you not...
01:07:01Sergeant, how dare you allow a man like that to get away with murder?
01:07:04I didn't.
01:07:05I didn't.
01:07:06I didn't.
01:07:07I didn't.
01:07:08I told you not...
01:07:09Sergeant, how dare you allow my daughter...
01:07:17Calling car 21.
01:07:19Calling car 21.
01:07:21Proceed to Gem Movie Theater.
01:07:23Apprehend two kids, boy and girl, about 13.
01:07:26Didn't like picture. Set off whistle bomb.
01:07:29That is all.
