00:01:13I say, Reynolds, what's this I hear about the Army being interested in this project you're lobbying for?

00:01:19Well, it's not for publication, but they're planning to build an ammunition dump near the dam.

00:01:24I thought they were spending all that money just to help out a handful of bombers.

00:01:28Ha, ha, ha.

00:01:31And when I mentioned to the committee that more than 50,000 troops were stationed within a mile of the depot,

00:01:37they immediately increased the appropriation by a half a million dollars.

00:01:4250,000 troops.

00:01:4350,000 troops.

00:01:45Don't forget, Mr. Hanlon, all of our shipyards are not located on the coast.

00:01:49I don't think I understand.

00:01:51Believe it or not, we have four shipways on the lakes.

00:01:55We're turning out an average of a ship a month.

00:01:58That explains a lot of things.

00:02:00With your influence in Washington,

00:02:02why don't you get a bill passed to increase the old age pension for Glamour Girl?

00:02:06Ha, ha, ha.

00:02:08Oh, now listen here, girlie.

00:02:10We're not following this precarious occupation for, uh, love.

00:02:14What our friend is trying to say is that you ought to organize, start a revolving fund,

00:02:18and you'll be able to speak the language that he understands.

00:02:21Right?

00:02:23Now that you mention it, it is an ideal location for an air base.

00:02:26The enemy could never spot us in the air,

00:02:28and it's out of the range of the naval gun.

00:02:30Well, perfect.

00:02:32Coffee is served for now.

00:02:34Oh, coffee.

00:02:39Wait for me, blondie.

00:03:24Ooh!

00:03:33Well, gentlemen, if you ask me, I would say this has been a most successful day.

00:03:37Well, it has for me.

00:03:39Now I can postpone that strike until the project has eaten up more of the appropriation.

00:03:44Ha, ha, ha.

00:03:46But, gentlemen, since war has been declared,

00:03:49we've learned one lesson.

00:03:51We must proceed cautiously.

00:03:53I think we should make plans to slip into some neutral country

00:03:56before the intelligence bureau gets after us.

00:03:58Perhaps when the war hysteria dies down, they will become more lax.

00:04:02These Americans are like children.

00:04:04They forget quickly the fire that burnt their fingers.

00:04:07Well, doctor, we've actually found a very efficient method of prosecuting our war of nerves.

00:04:12No, no, no. I'm not going to accept all credit.

00:04:14Gentlemen, I insist that we destroy more ammunition plans before we have to leave.

00:04:20Last operation of yours, carried out with such finesse.

00:04:24Beautiful.

00:04:40Thanks.

00:04:42Do you want me to wait for you, sir?

00:04:44No, thank you.

00:04:45I may be detained here for some time.

00:04:50Oh, uh, are you going back to Cleveland tonight, Kenny?

00:04:53No, I'm staying over for a couple of days.

00:04:55Fine. You're stopping at my office tomorrow morning.

00:04:57The gentleman Patience is here, sir.

00:04:59Patience? I see Patience only at my office during the day.

00:05:02Ask him to go elsewhere.

00:05:04I explained to him you saw Patience at your home.

00:05:06What's his name?

00:05:08Mr. Cologne, or rather Monsieur.

00:05:10I've never heard of him.

00:05:12He seems very urgent, sir.

00:05:14He insists it's a matter of life and death.

00:05:16Why don't you see him and get it over with?

00:05:18Oh, very well.

00:05:20Be back in a moment.

00:05:21Oh, doctor.

00:05:22Don't forget your bedside manners.

00:05:24Oh, no.

00:05:32Oh, that'll be all, Stevenson.

00:05:40Dr. Sanders?

00:05:41That's right.

00:05:43I'm not in the habit of receiving Patience in my home, especially at night.

00:05:47I have come a long way to see you.

00:05:51Plenty of other good doctors.

00:05:54I'm a very sick man.

00:05:57Sit down, please.

00:06:08You don't appear to be in any danger of dying.

00:06:12You are quite wrong.

00:06:14All men are in danger of dying.

00:06:17The important question is when.

00:06:32Who are you?

00:06:36Just why did you come here?

00:06:40Wallace, how are things with you in Detroit?

00:06:42Fine.

00:06:43I'm faced with a strike that may tie up my whole plant.

00:06:4510,000 men.

00:06:46That's too bad.

00:06:48Yes, because I'll have to close one of my factories waiting for parts.

00:06:52Trouble is, you boys should hire me as a lawyer.

00:06:55Then you could really wreck your business.

00:06:57Listen to him.

00:06:59With that Van Dyke, my plant might be able to use you over in Pittsburgh to throw a few monkey wrenches into the legal machinery.

00:07:05You must be mistaken.

00:07:07I don't know what you're talking about.

00:07:10That's strange.

00:07:12I was sure you would remember me.

00:07:16Your voice seems familiar.

00:07:18But I'm positive I've never seen your face before.

00:07:21In that, you are but half right.

00:07:24You did see me before.

00:07:26But I've changed since then.

00:07:29Just as you have.

00:07:34Nurse!

00:07:35Hey, doctor!

00:07:36No, no, please!

00:07:37Please, I don't deserve this!

00:07:39Please!

00:07:42Please!

00:07:48From a squeeze.

00:07:49Sounded like a banshee.

00:07:51Just a momentary upset.

00:07:53Nothing serious.

00:07:55Sorry we intruded.

00:07:57Are you sure everything's all right?

00:07:59Yes, quite.

00:08:01Gentlemen, please accept my apologies.

00:08:04I shall be detained longer than I anticipated.

00:08:07In that case, I think we can go.

00:08:10Good night.

00:08:11Good night.

00:08:30Well, I hope the doctor knows what he's doing.

00:08:32So do I.

00:08:33This patient looks crazy to me.

00:08:36Weird sort of fellow at that.

00:08:38Like a European.

00:08:39Seems to me I've seen him before.

00:08:41Well, let's go, come on.

00:08:42No, very strange.

00:08:53Can we drop you someplace, Kearney?

00:08:54No, thank you. I have a cab.

00:09:10And be sure that your servant understands the instructions I have given you.

00:09:23Dr. Saunders wants you.

00:09:31You may prepare the guest room for Mr. Cano.

00:09:34He'll be with us for some time to come.

00:09:40Very well, sir.

00:10:02What are you doing in my cab?

00:10:04I thought perhaps you were going in my direction.

00:10:07Well, I'm not going in your direction.

00:10:09Mr. Kearney, are you quite sure you know in what direction you're really going?

00:10:15Why, of course I know.

00:10:17Incidentally, how did you learn my name?

00:10:21Did you rob that car you toco ony toby?

00:10:37Yes, I did.

00:11:08Whistle.

00:11:34Well, the taxi driver identified the body.

00:11:36Somebody picked him up in front of Dr. Saunders' place.

00:11:38Then all we have to do is grab this Dr. Saunders and ask him what he knows.

00:11:41Sure, and put him on his guard and then where are we?

00:11:44I don't know.

00:11:45This is the one time that we've got to watch our step.

00:11:47What do you want me to do?

00:11:49Suppose you drop in on the doc and see what you can find out without letting him know that we suspect the place.

00:11:53We have a report that a niece lives there.

00:11:56You might work through her.

00:11:57Don't tell me. Let me guess.

00:11:59She's 50, flat-footed and fat, with buck teeth and probably wears glasses.

00:12:03Now, now, look, Sheila.

00:12:05This is your first case and we don't want you to come up, see?

00:12:08We don't expect you to marry the girl.

00:12:10Just see what you can find out, huh?

00:12:12Okay, Chief. I can dream, can't I?

00:12:14Cute kid.

00:12:30Hello.

00:12:31You're Stevens, aren't you?

00:12:33I'm Alice Saunders.

00:12:34How do you do, Miss Alice?

00:12:36Won't you step in, please?

00:12:45It's good to be back.

00:12:47Where's Uncle?

00:12:48He's not very well this morning. He's still in bed.

00:12:51I wouldn't disturb him just yet.

00:12:53So sorry.

00:12:54Is it anything serious?

00:12:56Well, I don't know, Miss.

00:12:57He took ill last night after his dinner party.

00:12:59Oh, dear.

00:13:02Everything looks just the same.

00:13:04Anything new?

00:13:05Only myself, I'm afraid, Miss.

00:13:16Yes?

00:13:17Miss Saunders was expecting me. Dick Martin.

00:13:19Yes.

00:13:20Come in, Mr. Martin.

00:13:23Miss Saunders, will you see a Mr. Martin?

00:13:26How do you do?

00:13:27I'm from the department.

00:13:30I'd like to see your father, Dr. Saunders.

00:13:32He's my uncle. He isn't feeling well.

00:13:35Is there something I could do?

00:13:37Why, yes.

00:13:38Your uncle gave a dinner party here last night.

00:13:40Do you know who his guests were?

00:13:42I just arrived myself.

00:13:44Maybe Stevens could tell you.

00:13:46Stevens, was there a man by the name of Kearney here last night?

00:13:49Yes, sir.

00:13:50Do you know anything about him?

00:13:51No.

00:13:52If you could tell me what this is all about, maybe I could help.

00:13:55Well, you see, the police found the body of Kearney last night.

00:13:58He was either murdered or committed suicide.

00:14:00Oh, how awful.

00:14:01And if I could see your uncle, it might clear the matters up.

00:14:04I'll try to see him.

00:14:12Stevens, where's the dining room?

00:14:13In there, sir.

00:14:22Uncle Bill!

00:14:23Hmm?

00:14:29Uncle Bill!

00:14:30It's Alice.

00:14:31I just got in.

00:14:32Oh, what is it, dear?

00:14:35Uncle Bill let me in.

00:14:36I'm back.

00:14:37Oh, Alice, dear, forgive me.

00:14:39But I was dozing.

00:14:41Stevens said you didn't feel well.

00:14:43No, nothing serious.

00:14:45Nerves, that's all.

00:14:48I've decided to remain in my room for a long rest.

00:14:52I'm so glad you're back, dear.

00:14:57Can't I come in for a moment?

00:15:00I have so much to tell you.

00:15:03It's been so many years since I've seen you.

00:15:06Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

00:15:09Isn't there something I can do for you?

00:15:17Are you a new servant?

00:15:19Not exactly.

00:15:20Rather, a very old friend of your uncle's.

00:15:23Monsieur Coulombe.

00:15:25I'm Alice.

00:15:26Here's me.

00:15:27Greetings.

00:15:30You're very sweet.

00:15:32And a beautiful young woman.

00:15:34You'll excuse me.

00:15:55What's your first name?

00:16:09Richard, but you can call me Dick.

00:16:12Oh, Dick, this is Monsieur Coulombe.

00:16:15He's an old friend of Uncle Bill's.

00:16:17Dick Martin.

00:16:18How do you do?

00:16:19It's a pleasure.

00:16:20Were you here at the dinner party last night?

00:16:22No.

00:16:23I came later.

00:16:24Do you know a Mr. Kearney?

00:16:26Kearney?

00:16:27I'm afraid not.

00:16:29Is there something wrong?

00:16:30Just a slight case of murder.

00:16:32That's too bad.

00:16:33Can I help you in any way?

00:16:35Nope.

00:16:36Excuse me.

00:16:54Handsome devil, isn't he?

00:16:55I'd hate to meet him in a dark alley.

00:16:58Oh, I don't know.

00:16:59Make it a moonlight night in a park bench.

00:17:01It might be exciting.

00:17:03Oh, yeah?

00:17:07What's this first name business?

00:17:10Well, I didn't know him any better than you did.

00:17:13How long has he lived here?

00:17:15I don't know that either.

00:17:16How about yourself?

00:17:17It's been years.

00:17:19Listen, do I see the uncle or don't I?

00:17:22He must be terribly ill.

00:17:24He wouldn't even see me.

00:17:26Funny business.

00:17:28Aren't you scared living here like this?

00:17:31You'd better come along with me.

00:17:33I think I can take care of myself.

00:17:36What's your name?

00:17:37Alice.

00:17:39Okay, Alice.

00:17:43See you later.

00:18:14Oh, your room is ready, Miss Alice.

00:18:17Stephen, tell me something about our guest.

00:18:21Well, there's not much I know.

00:18:23When he came here last evening,

00:18:24I thought he was simply another patient of your uncle's.

00:18:27He's an interesting man.

00:18:29He is.

00:18:31Get him.

00:18:44Immediately.

00:18:46He's not very well this morning, sir.

00:18:47He's still in bed.

00:18:48He'll see me.

00:18:49Send him in tomorrow.

00:18:50Yes, sir.

00:18:51Will you please wait?

00:19:13I told you I wasn't to be disturbed, David.

00:19:39Yes, Mr. Wallace, sir.

00:19:40He's below.

00:19:41Please obey my orders.

00:19:55Well?

00:19:57It's impossible, sir.

00:19:58Dr. Sanders can't see you.

00:20:00Don't.

00:20:31I'm sorry.

00:20:55Could the medical history of a sick person

00:20:57possibly interest an industrialist from Detroit?

00:21:01You're the man who came here last night.

00:21:04As a patient, Mr. Wallace.

00:21:06As a patient.

00:21:09Get up.

00:21:11Get up.

00:21:37Is there someone here?

00:21:38Mr. Wallace, miss.

00:21:39He just left.

00:21:41I heard a funny noise.

00:21:42Is this room below mine?

00:21:44Yes, miss.

00:21:45Then it came from here.

00:21:53Is there something wrong?

00:21:55I heard a strange noise like a body falling.

00:21:57Oh, I was stumbling.

00:21:58I was awkward.

00:21:59Yes, but there were gurgling sounds.

00:22:02Oh, I was humming.

00:22:05Is my voice as bad as that?

00:22:08Humming.

00:22:15Have you known my uncle very long?

00:22:18Time passed so swiftly, it's hard to say.

00:22:22I think I first met him abroad.

00:22:25Some kind of international meeting, I believe.

00:22:28Are we going to have the pleasure of your company very long?

00:22:31It depends on circumstances.

00:22:37You sound like a man of destiny.

00:22:40One must not flirt with one's destiny.

00:22:44With the world and the condition it is today, aren't we all flirting with destiny?

00:22:51I suppose I'll finish my book upstairs.

00:22:53Oh, no, please.

00:22:54I didn't mean to disturb you.

00:22:56Excuse me.

00:23:26Yes?

00:23:55Yes?

00:23:58Put him on.

00:24:01Hello, John.

00:24:02What is the time?

00:24:04Nine, add three, plus nine.

00:24:06And you tell me.

00:24:07Two, one, three, one, four, one.

00:24:09Okay.

00:24:10Listen, Ryder.

00:24:11Have you seen the headlines?

00:24:13I certainly have.

00:24:14I never knew Kearney had heart trouble.

00:24:16He didn't.

00:24:17He was only 34.

00:24:18Sound is a dollar.

00:24:19And that Japanese dagger.

00:24:21What about that?

00:24:22One of us ought to go immediately back to Washington.

00:24:25I tried to get Dr. Saunders on the phone, but he is sick, according to the butler.

00:24:29Wallace is still registered at his hotel, but he's out.

00:24:33Maybe we can catch him before he returns to Detroit.

00:24:36Both of us should go back.

00:24:37I'll grab the first plane out of Pittsburgh here and meet you in front of Wallace's hotel.

00:24:41Good.

00:24:42See you then.

00:24:48Morning mail, Mr. Ryder.

00:24:50Here's the letter.

00:24:51Perhaps it should have been thrown in the basket, but it seemed rather strange.

00:24:55Why?

00:24:56It's a plastic surgery ad, but it mentions no name.

00:24:59That'll be all, Miss Hanson.

00:25:13Yes, Mr. Ryder?

00:25:15Get me Amos Hanlon in New York, the exchange bank.

00:25:23Mr. Hanlon, Mr. Ryder calling long distance from Pittsburgh.

00:25:32Mr. Hanlon speaking.

00:25:58Mr. Philip Wallace, is he in?

00:25:59I think I saw him walk to the elevator a few moments ago.

00:26:01You may telephone his room, if you please.

00:26:08Mr. Wallace's room?

00:26:12Yes.

00:26:13Wallace, is that you?

00:26:15Who is it?

00:26:16Ryder.

00:26:18What time is it, Wallace?

00:26:21Nine and three plus nine, and you tell me.

00:26:26Two one, three one, four one.

00:26:29Van Dyke is with me.

00:26:31We'd better see you right away.

00:26:33Come up to my room.

00:26:56No.

00:26:59No.

00:27:20Wallace.

00:27:34Wallace.

00:27:42Wallace.

00:27:47What can it be?

00:27:48He obviously isn't here.

00:27:50I'm going to try again to get Saunders.

00:27:55I want Dr. Saunders.

00:27:57National 6516.

00:28:02I want to talk to Dr. Saunders.

00:28:04I'm very sorry, but Dr. Saunders is still confined to his room.

00:28:07Don't bother.

00:28:08I just want to make sure he was there.

00:28:16Get your hand away.

00:28:17You think I was a child?

00:28:19You think you're Nick Wood the way you fellow?

00:28:21I see it in his hand.

00:28:35Japanese dagger.

00:28:40Now, Wallace.

00:29:08There's nothing in the hall.

00:29:10I'm going to call the police, you fool.

00:29:12You want them prying around in our business?

00:29:14Better that than to be like Wallace there.

00:29:16Don't you realize we're at war with this country?

00:29:19Brace yourself.

00:29:20We're forewarned.

00:29:22Now we're forearmed.

00:29:23I guess you're right.

00:29:26He's down the back stairs.

00:29:55He's down the back stairs.

00:30:24There's someone in my room.

00:30:43What's the matter with you?

00:30:45There was a horrible something in my room.

00:30:47Are you quite sure it wasn't a nightmare?

00:30:50It most certainly wasn't.

00:30:53There was no one in your room, miss.

00:30:55I couldn't find a trace.

00:30:56Shall I look outside?

00:30:58Yes, please do.

00:31:00No one.

00:31:01You see?

00:31:02You think my eyes are playing tricks on me?

00:31:06When a young woman's nurse commenced to give way,

00:31:09it is time she sought refuge in a strong man's arms.

00:31:13I just ran into yours.

00:31:15Mine might be dangerous.

00:31:22You're a strange man.

00:31:24I've been trying to make you out.

00:31:26Why try?

00:31:27Curiosity killed the cat.

00:31:29Oh.

00:31:30Don't misunderstand.

00:31:32I'm not worth bothering your pretty head about.

00:31:35What if I think differently?

00:31:37Then I would say that you're a silly young creature.

00:31:39Why did we leave the cab down the street and walk?

00:31:42Just a precaution.

00:31:43I still think we should notify the police.

00:31:45After all, we can prove we're Americans.

00:31:47We just can't afford to risk the publicity.

00:32:04I want to see the doctor immediately.

00:32:05I'm very sorry, sir.

00:32:06If you will, I'll go to his room.

00:32:07Perhaps I'd better speak to him first.

00:32:18Hey.

00:32:21Which is his room?

00:32:23I won't need you.

00:32:34Saunders.

00:32:36Ryder.

00:32:37Let me in.

00:32:38I've got to talk to you.

00:32:39Go ahead and talk.

00:32:40I'm not seeing anyone.

00:32:42You know, of course, about Kearney.

00:32:44He's dead.

00:32:45Yes, I know.

00:32:46Well, so is Wallace.

00:32:48Van Dyke and I found him in his hotel room.

00:32:51The point is, Van Dyke isn't breaking.

00:32:54Lost his nerve.

00:32:56Wants to seek protection with the police.

00:32:58There's only one protection against a weakling, Ryder.

00:33:02Take the outside door to my cellar.

00:33:05I needn't tell you more.

00:33:15Saunders is going to meet us in the cellar.

00:33:30He wants to talk to us.

00:33:31I thought he was ill, confined to his room.

00:33:33Only a subterfuge.

00:33:45Close the door.

00:34:09Why?

00:34:10Hurry.

00:34:15You seem to know your way around, Ryder.

00:34:18I was down here once before.

00:34:29Brighton.

00:34:31I have a strange feeling this is a trap.

00:34:36Where are the lights?

00:34:38Right now.

00:34:40Why isn't Saunders here?

00:34:42The important thing, you're here.

00:34:46You turn weakling, Van Dyke.

00:34:48We can't afford to take any chances with you.

00:35:08You were both very accommodating, Mr. Ryder.

00:36:21I don't know what it's all about, but I like it.

00:36:41There's a body in the basement.

00:36:43A what?

00:36:44A body.

00:36:45Right by the cellar stairs.

00:36:46I stumbled over it.

00:36:48Let's take a look.

00:37:02It was right here.

00:37:04Isn't there now?

00:37:14Let's get out of here.

00:37:15There's nothing to be frightened of.

00:37:17I don't like it.

00:37:18Come on.

00:37:44I can't understand it.

00:37:51I know I stumbled over something.

00:37:53Maybe I'm going daft.

00:37:55Here's something else that's darn queer.

00:37:57This man was with another guest of your uncle's.

00:37:59That makes two of them.

00:38:01Oh, this is terrible.

00:38:03Stevens, where have you been?

00:38:04In the dining room, sir.

00:38:06You haven't been in the cellar, have you?

00:38:07No.

00:38:11Have you seen this?

00:38:14Boy, that's incredible.

00:38:16I saw both at that dinner, too.

00:38:19Alice, I'm going upstairs and talk to your uncle if I have to break that door in.

00:38:22It might be better if I spoke to Dr. Saunders.

00:38:25I might have more influence.

00:38:27Monsieur Colon, I stumbled over a body in the cellar.

00:38:31It's still there?

00:38:32No, it disappeared.

00:38:33Perhaps it is your nerves, I guess.

00:38:35There's nothing wrong with Miss Saunders' nerves.

00:38:37Of course not.

00:38:38Come on, Alice.

00:38:40A body in the cellar?

00:39:02See that?

00:39:09Uncle Bill!

00:39:10Uncle Bill!

00:39:11Uncle Bill, I have to see you.

00:39:13Something terrible has happened.

00:39:14I'm very tired, dear.

00:39:16Please don't disturb me.

00:39:18Dr. Saunders, two of your friends who were here last night are dead.

00:39:20That's most unfortunate.

00:39:22Heart failure, probably.

00:39:24I know, Uncle, but there's someone dead down in our cellar.

00:39:27Alice, I'm afraid your imagination is running away with you.

00:39:31No, it isn't.

00:39:32Alice, I insist you allow no disturbance to be made.

00:39:35My own condition won't stand it.

00:39:37Matters are quite all right in the house.

00:39:40But Uncle...

00:39:41Please obey me, Alice.

00:39:44Very well.

00:39:50That door always been locked since you've been here?

00:39:52Yes.

00:39:53Well, haven't you even seen him?

00:39:54No, I haven't.

00:39:55Who takes care of him, feeds him?

00:39:57Well, Stevens or Monsieur Colon.

00:40:00That's a fine pair.

00:40:01I don't like either one.

00:40:04I'm going to take you out of here.

00:40:05It's too dangerous.

00:40:06I'm not frightened.

00:40:07I'll be all right.

00:40:08If anything happens, you take and call me here.

00:40:11All right.

00:40:12Good night.

00:40:13Good night.

00:40:27Good night, young man.

00:40:29Good night, Monsieur.

00:40:33Good night.

00:41:03Good night.

00:41:33One side.

00:41:39Two more.

00:41:42And it was right here I found the body of Mr. Kearney.

00:41:45And just about this time.

00:41:48No, I'll tell you this time.

00:41:50It's murder.

00:41:52Jacked daggers.

00:41:54Judging by their clothes, they were no tramps either.

00:41:57Well, get to it.

00:41:59All right.

00:42:00But Stevens the butler has disappeared.

00:42:02Do you have any idea where he could have gone?

00:42:05No, he just hasn't come back.

00:42:08Okay, I'll just watch your step, and I'll be over as soon as I can.

00:42:12That's a lot of buggers.

00:42:14I'll be back.

00:42:16I'll be back.

00:42:18I'll be back.

00:42:20I'll be back.

00:42:22I'll be back.

00:42:24I'll be back.

00:42:26I'll be back.

00:42:28That's a lot of bunkers, ain't it?

00:42:30Miss Saunders says the butler's disappeared.

00:42:32Well, this is one time I refused to suspect the butler in the case.

00:42:35There's no doubt those men found at the Jap embassy were murdered,

00:42:38but what do you make of those two daggers in their hands?

00:42:40Well, it adds up to only one thing.

00:42:42The man who did the job was also responsible for the Kearney and Wallace murders.

00:42:46Who was the first guest at Saunders' house that evening?

00:42:49Hanlon, the banker.

00:42:51Oh, I think I see what you're driving at.

00:42:53It may only be a hunch, but if we take Hanlon to Dr. Saunders,

00:42:56we may force the real murderer out until they open.

00:43:00Suppose you grab a plain dick and have a little talk with this Hanlon.

00:43:04Point out to him the danger that he's in

00:43:06and see if you can get him to come to Washington with you.

00:43:24Yes?

00:43:25Mr. Hanlon, a special delivery letter for you.

00:43:28And since the envelope has a black border, I thought you would want it immediately.

00:43:32Bring it in.

00:43:55Oh!

00:44:25Alice, will you marry me?

00:44:44What for?

00:44:45So I can beat you up.

00:44:46It's the only way I can get you out of here.

00:44:48Say, has the butler shown up yet?

00:44:50No, he's probably frightened and quit his job.

00:44:52Alice, you were right.

00:44:53There was a body in the cellar last night.

00:44:55You know that?

00:44:56I'm positive of it.

00:44:57Only there were two bodies.

00:44:59They were found on the steps of the Japanese embassy

00:45:01with a dagger clutched in each hand.

00:45:03And they weren't killed there.

00:45:04Their bodies were dumped there.

00:45:06Why should you think they came from here?

00:45:08There were two more of your uncle's dinner guests who were here that night.

00:45:13Mr. Martin, I found this note in the dining room from the butler.

00:45:19It's Stevens.

00:45:20He's gone to see a sick friend.

00:45:22Brand new alibi, eh?

00:45:24You recognize the handwriting?

00:45:26No.

00:45:27Yes, I recognize it.

00:45:29You would.

00:45:30You doubt me?

00:45:31I'm not accusing anyone, Cologne.

00:45:33All I know is that four men are dead under mysterious circumstances after leaving this house.

00:45:38Possible coincidence.

00:45:40At most, unfortunate.

00:45:41Yes.

00:45:42There's only one guest left alive.

00:45:44Hanlon.

00:45:45Hanlon.

00:45:46Let us hope that Mr. Hanlon escapes the fate of the others.

00:45:51Yeah.

00:45:52Get your hat, Alice.

00:45:55As long as Mr. Cologne is here, I feel perfectly safe.

00:45:59Self-care.

00:46:01So long.

00:46:06Nice fellow.

00:46:08I hope you'll be happy.

00:46:09Goodbye.

00:46:10You're leaving?

00:46:12Yes, I must.

00:46:14It's most unfortunate.

00:46:15But your uncle will understand.

00:46:17Will we see you again?

00:46:19Who knows in this crazy world?

00:47:13All right, come on, Cologne.

00:47:24Well, that gentleman is my considered decision.

00:47:27This institution will not lend its support to any company, even in this emergency,

00:47:32which permits itself to be forced into bankruptcy because of the demand of its employees.

00:47:40What is it?

00:47:41There's a gentleman here to see you.

00:47:43No, I'm too busy.

00:47:44I think you should see this man immediately, Mr. Hanlon.

00:47:49Very well.

00:47:51There, there, gentlemen.

00:47:52You see what a slave, even a banker, can be to his secretary.

00:47:56We'll continue this talk after lunch.

00:47:58After lunch.

00:48:10Mr. Hanlon?

00:48:12Yes?

00:48:13I'm Dick Martin.

00:48:15Sit down, Mr. Martin.

00:48:17I don't have to tell you, Mr. Hanlon, but in the past 48 hours, four of your friends have died.

00:48:22Well, I'm not exactly illiterate, you know.

00:48:25I can read the newspapers.

00:48:27I'm glad that you're not frightened either.

00:48:29A busy man has very little time to indulge in feminine emotions.

00:48:33Just what do you want?

00:48:35I'm here in your interest, Mr. Hanlon, and possibly the interest of this country.

00:48:39In the present emergency, we can't afford to lose any of the much-needed business leaders.

00:48:44And you think my life is in danger?

00:48:46I'm almost certain of it.

00:48:51Here's something I received in the morning mail.

00:48:54I hadn't intended to speak of it.

00:48:57Do you have any idea who the murderer or murderers might be?

00:49:01I do not.

00:49:02If I had, I would inform the police.

00:49:04Of course.

00:49:05As a good American, Mr. Hanlon, possibly you will be willing to cooperate with our department in trapping the criminals.

00:49:12Just what have you in your mind?

00:49:15Well, we're reasonably certain that these killings have occurred in or near Dr. Saunders' home in Washington.

00:49:22I see. And you want me to act as a decoy or bait.

00:49:26Of course. There will be danger.

00:49:28Well, I'm not afraid of danger.

00:49:31I'd like very much to meet this murderer.

00:49:35Even more than you.

00:49:37Good. We'll take the first plane back to Washington.

00:49:39May I use that phone?

00:49:52Chief, you cover the inside of the house.

00:49:54Be sure you keep your eye on Hanlon. I'll take the outside.

00:50:07In there, Hanlon.

00:50:17All right, let's have a look at upstairs.

00:50:19You're not going to leave me here alone.

00:50:21He'll be here with you.

00:50:24Come on.

00:50:33This is Cologne's room.

00:50:34You mean it was.

00:50:36And this is Saunders'.

00:50:40All right, Saunders, come on out or we're coming in.

00:50:47I thought you said this was always locked.

00:50:49It always has been.

00:50:54Come on.

00:51:16I thought so.

00:51:18So they've been messing you up too, eh, old timer?

00:51:21Any other rooms?

00:51:22No.

00:51:23Servants' quarters, anything like that?

00:51:25One small one downstairs.

00:51:26Yeah.

00:51:31Listen, Chief.

00:51:32Oh, don't talk to me. You've messed up everything as it is.

00:51:35Take it easy, Stevens.

00:51:38You there on the couch?

00:51:41Sit down.

00:51:42No, no, no. No, I... I'm all right.

00:51:44Who is this?

00:51:45Stevens, the missing butler.

00:51:47What happened to you?

00:51:48He was slugged and tied up in that basement.

00:51:50You didn't happen to do that to yourself, did you?

00:51:52Why, no, sir, I...

00:51:53Stevens, did you write this?

00:51:55No.

00:51:57Cologne again.

00:51:58Or Dr. Saunders, who also disappeared.

00:52:00Saunders missing?

00:52:02Yeah.

00:52:03What do you know about that?

00:52:05Why, nothing, sir.

00:52:07Who fed him?

00:52:08Well, I did.

00:52:09What illness was he suffering from?

00:52:11Well, I don't know, sir.

00:52:12When I brought him his food, he always spoke of an ante room or a dark corner.

00:52:16You couldn't have possibly sneaked in there just once and fed him, could you?

00:52:19Well, I...

00:52:20Yeah, you fell down on the job.

00:52:22Who, Miss Saunders?

00:52:23Oh, Miss Saunders, my eye. She's my best girl.

00:52:25Your best girl?

00:52:26My best girl operator.

00:52:28Or was.

00:52:30So you're a flatfoot, eh?

00:52:32How well did you know Saunders?

00:52:33I know him slightly, in a business way.

00:52:36Did you know that he was supposed to have mysteriously disappeared from a ship in the Orient ten years ago?

00:52:41Why, that's ridiculous.

00:52:42Something new, Chief?

00:52:43No, this is something old.

00:52:45See, the real Miss Saunders came to my office.

00:52:47She's been living abroad for the last ten years on the legacy.

00:52:50When she saw this picture of her uncle in the paper, she figured something was wrong.

00:52:53Well, I figured if somebody was posing as her uncle, I could put somebody...

00:52:56This has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving.

00:52:58Oh, sit down.

00:53:13We'll find out who you are by twelve o'clock.

00:53:15Better get him a drink.

00:53:17I'll get him.

00:53:34At last, we meet.

00:53:36And then...

00:53:38...shall I call you...

00:53:40...a sake?

00:53:46That's what was in my room!

00:53:47Who are you?

00:53:48I'm Dr. Saunders.

00:53:50Take him in there.

00:53:53All right, Doc, take it easy.

00:53:54Cologne! Cologne!

00:53:56Look out for Cologne!

00:54:07Hold it, fella!

00:54:11You know him?

00:54:12Sure, it's Cologne.

00:54:15Well, it looks like we're too late.

00:54:17At least your hunch was right.

00:54:19All right, come on, you.

00:54:26Is your man back?

00:54:27Yes! Yes!

00:54:29He's a man!

00:54:31That's Dr. Murcher, alias Mr. Cologne!

00:54:34Mad!

00:54:35Mad!

00:54:36Mad! Who would be mad?

00:54:38It all started some time ago in my homeland.

00:54:46THE END

00:54:50Heil Hitler!

00:54:52Heil Hitler!

00:54:55A tea, sir.

00:55:00It was considerate of your Fuhrer to...

00:55:04...permit you to come here to serve us.

00:55:07Your famous...

00:55:09...plastic surgeon is...

00:55:11...well known in lands of rising sun.

00:55:16This is my first request of wholesale surgery.

00:55:20Are these my subjects?

00:55:22Yes.

00:55:24All trusted members of...

00:55:27...the Order of...

00:55:29...Black Dragons...

00:55:32...ready to serve...

00:55:34...Empire...

00:55:35...until...

00:55:37...death.

00:55:40And Americans, they are to impersonate.

00:55:43You have photos of them?

00:55:44I will need many angles.

00:55:47Better than that.

00:55:50We have perfect...

00:55:52...replicas.

00:55:55Death masks.

00:55:57Good.

00:55:59I shall be ready to operate as soon as the surgery is prepared.

00:56:05This is Dr. Nacucci.

00:56:07He will assist you.

00:56:14This way, Herr Doctor.

00:57:44Remove your robes.

00:58:03The transformation is...

00:58:06...complete.

00:58:09Our faith in...

00:58:11...your ability was well founded...

00:58:14...Honorable Doctor.

00:58:16We owe you...

00:58:19...and your Fuhrer...

00:58:23...our dying gratitude...

00:58:26...for what you have done for us.

00:58:29Anything I can do to hasten the establishment of our new order...

00:58:32...and to destroy the archaic democracies...

00:58:35...is an honor and a privilege.

00:58:38Well, you...

00:58:40...you accompany these men...

00:58:43...and they will see that you are...

00:58:46...fittingly...

00:58:48...rewarded.

00:59:08Wait, Herr Doctor.

00:59:12What's the meaning of this?

00:59:14I'm a member of the party.

00:59:16The Fuhrer will hear of this.

00:59:18That's just what we're going to prevent.

00:59:20The little trick we learned from you Nazis.

00:59:22Leave no evidence behind.

00:59:24Let no sentimentality stand in your way.

00:59:26Since you're the only one who knows our real identity...

00:59:28...this is merely a test.

00:59:30I'm not going to let you get away with this.

00:59:32I'm not going to let you get away with this.

00:59:34Since you're the only one who knows our real identity...

00:59:36...this is merely a precaution to make sure that no one else finds them out.

00:59:42All right.

00:59:47Sorry we have to ask you to share these quarters with someone else.

00:59:57But he won't be with us for long, Herr Doctor.

01:00:01You will pay for this, you apes!

01:00:03You swine!

01:00:05The Fuhrer will wipe you off the face of the earth!

01:00:34So you get out of here, huh?

01:00:37He evidently made good his escape to America...

01:00:40...and set out to kill us one by one.

01:00:43Why didn't you kill him like the others?

01:00:45Oh, I was necessary to the completion of his plan.

01:00:49Then he inoculated us with his own blood.

01:00:52And now he's going to kill us all.

01:00:54I'm not going to let you get away with this.

01:00:56I'm not going to let you get away with this.

01:00:58I'm not going to let you get away with this.

01:01:00I'm not going to let you get away with this.

01:01:02Then he inoculated me with an insidious serum...

01:01:05...which quickly transformed me into this horrid monster you see before you!

01:01:14And you must go on living.

01:01:18No! No!

01:01:20I won't live!
