01:30Hey, look everyone! Letters and cards from New York City!
01:38If the girls received a letter, their day was just a little better.
01:42The letters came from far away, from pen pals in the USA.
01:47But though they wrote on a weekly basis, they'd never actually seen their faces.
01:52Till one fall day, they got the news that they were going on a cruise.
01:58Attention mes enfants, your pen pals have invited us to come stay with them in New York City.
02:05We sail tomorrow.
02:12New York City, here we come!
02:28Cool!
02:30And after much anticipation, at last they reached their destination.
02:35Ah, New York, so beautiful!
02:37So exciting! There is the Empire State Building!
02:40It is good to be back. There are so many things I did not see on our last trip.
02:45Oui, like my pen pal Su Li. Her parents are from China, I believe.
02:51She is nothing like me.
02:53And my pen pal Maria. Her parents are from Italy.
02:57Ah, she is nothing like me.
03:00I cannot wait to meet my pen pal Maggie.
03:05Hmm, maybe she is just like me.
03:08Remember, little girls, in France we say, vive la différence.
03:13The differences between us make life more interesting.
03:16Yes, Mrs. Lovell.
03:18Bon, very good.
03:21When they reached the city, Mrs. Lovell called a cab driver they knew well.
03:27Bonjour, Monsieur Robbie.
03:30Welcome back to America, ladies. Where to?
03:33Le West Side Community Hall, s'il vous plaît.
03:36No problem.
03:39How glad they were to be back in the city.
03:42Though it looked more scary today than pretty.
03:46Oh, no. It's so scary. Look at that.
03:49Why?
03:51Where did all those pumpkins come from?
03:54I am sure the place where the girls meet us will be very nice.
04:03Oh, I cannot go there.
04:06It will be fine, mes petites. Vive la différence.
04:10And when they arrived at the West Side Community Hall,
04:13they got the biggest scare of all.
04:23The girls let out an awful squeal
04:26till they saw the faces were not real.
04:29We didn't mean to scare you.
04:34We were just making Halloween masks. I'm Maggie.
04:37Oh, hello, Maggie. I am Maggie.
04:40You don't look a thing like I imagined.
04:43Mise after you. It's today Halloween.
04:46Don't you know it's tomorrow?
04:48We do not have Halloween in France.
04:50No Halloween.
04:52That's no fun.
04:54But an American friend told us all about it.
04:57You dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating from door to door.
05:01Yup. And there are ghosts and goblins and ghosts.
05:04It's so much fun.
05:07It's a little scary, but a lot of fun.
05:10Which one is Anne?
05:12I am. Are you Sue Lee?
05:14That's me. Welcome to New York.
05:17You look different than I imagined.
05:19So do you. I thought you'd be taller.
05:25It's so good to finally meet you.
05:27Soon, the girls, by chatting away,
05:29found a way to get to know each other better.
05:33It's so good to finally meet you.
05:35Soon, the girls, by chatting away,
05:37as if they did this every day.
05:39The pen pals leader, Miss Morgenstern,
05:42greeted Miss Clavel in turn.
05:44I am so happy to meet you, Mademoiselle Morgenstern.
05:50The girls responded with delight and the party.
05:53A Halloween night.
05:55Off they hurried to many locales
05:57to spend the night with their pen pals.
06:00Four little girls in four straight lines,
06:03French and American, hands entwined.
06:06The girls found customs new and strange.
06:14Vive la différence!
06:23But soon were sure.
06:26They liked the change.
06:31Maggie's street was quite divine.
06:34So impressed was Madeline.
06:38Oh, I like it here.
06:40Just wait till you hear the music.
06:46Oh, what is that music?
06:48Don't you know, Madeline?
06:50That's jazz.
06:54Oh, I like the jazz.
07:01Well, this is where I live.
07:03You live in the nightclub?
07:05No, we live over the nightclub.
07:08That night on the radio,
07:10Maggie heard her favorite show.
07:12Now, comfy corn pads,
07:14the complete treat for fit feet,
07:16presents the adventures of the Spider Lady.
07:20And as Madeline sat beside her,
07:23they heard a tale about a spider.
07:26Tonight, the Spider Lady weaves her web of evil intrigue
07:29in the City of Lights, Paris, France.
07:33Paris? Oh, no!
07:35I will start at the Eiffel Tower
07:39and I will work my way through the streets of Paris.
08:00Ah!
08:04No one can escape the grasp of the Spider Lady.
08:25Quelle horreur! How horrible!
08:28I will be destroyed!
08:30Madeline and her New York friend
08:32listen till the program's end.
08:35Will the Spider Lady's diabolical plan
08:37to take over Paris succeed?
08:39We'll find out tomorrow night.
08:41Tomorrow night?
08:43But I want to find out now if Paris is all right.
08:46It's just a story.
08:48You can't believe everything you hear on the radio.
08:50The Spider Lady is an actress.
08:52I read that her house looks just like a spider web.
08:56Of course you can't believe everything you read either.
08:59Then Maggie's mother said good night,
09:02tucked them in
09:04and turned off the light.
09:06Get a good night's sleep, Madeline,
09:08because tomorrow is Halloween.
09:20The next day, the girls dressed for Halloween
09:23in costumes like they'd never seen.
09:27Oh, qu'est-ce que c'est!
09:29C'est magnifique!
09:41Voilà! Je suis un grand détective!
09:44Okidoki, détective!
09:47Okidoki!
09:50J'espère que vous savez où trouver ces trucs de Halloween.
09:53Moi aussi!
09:55Are you ready to go, mes enfants?
10:00We'll go out on the streets with the ghosts!
10:04And the goblins and witches!
10:06And bats and ghouls too!
10:08Ghosts and goblins? Just the mention.
10:11Fill the girls with apprehension.
10:15It sounds so strange.
10:17What if we don't like it?
10:19Well, you won't know unless you try it.
10:22And I promise, trick-or-treating is fun!
10:53No!
10:57No!
11:00No!
11:04Ah-ha!
11:05We are ready!
11:07Allons-y! Let us go!
11:22J'y suis!
11:52It's project time, filling up the cricket bag.
11:55It's our idea of fun!
12:23It didn't look too nice at all.
12:27So they hurried back to the West Side Hall.
12:32The little girls came in from the streets
12:34so they could enjoy their Halloween treats.
12:37Candy!
12:39Candy!
12:40And more candy!
12:45A spider!
12:48The girls could not believe their eyes
12:51when Madeline got a spider-y surprise.
12:56Calm down, little girls.
12:58Is it really a spider, Madeline?
13:04No, Miss Clavel.
13:05It is an earring that looks like a spider.
13:11And here is the other one.
13:14Someone must have put them in my bag.
13:16By mistake.
13:18A naughty baby?
13:25A hairy head?
13:35A creepy crawler?
13:37It is up to us to find out.
13:41A jeweler said, by his account,
13:43their worth was of a huge amount.
13:47More than the girls could even count.
13:51He added it was his belief
13:53the jewels were stolen by a thief.
13:56The earrings must be stolen goods.
13:59And I am very afraid that thieves will want them back.
14:02See, officer?
14:03What do you think?
14:04They're very expensive.
14:06Are they stolen?
14:08When the policeman checked his list,
14:10he said no earrings had been missed.
14:13Bon, that is good.
14:15But we still have to find the owner.
14:20Now it was cold and dark outside.
14:24So Miss Clavel called for a ride.
14:27Where to this time, ladies?
14:29Madeline did what good detectives do.
14:31She thought of an important clue.
14:34It must have been the lady with the earrings.
14:37It must have been the lady with all the jewels.
14:40Straight ahead, Monsieur Robbie.
14:42Okey-dokey.
14:53Wait! Perhaps there is another clue.
14:56Something to do with spiders.
15:01This must be it, Maggie.
15:04But everywhere the girls would go,
15:07from buildings high to buildings low,
15:11the answer was the same one.
15:13No.
15:14Hmm.
15:15We checked with the person who loves jewels
15:18and the person who loves spiders.
15:20But maybe it's someone who loves both jewels and spiders.
15:24Someone very rich.
15:26Was there not a dogman here?
15:29Yup, but he's gone now.
15:32After searching all around,
15:34the earring's owner was not found.
15:37This was my last hope.
15:39I am afraid we will never find the owner.
15:41And I was so sure this was it.
15:46Oh, Maggie.
15:47Where did you say the spider lady lives?
15:50In a house that looks like a spiderweb.
15:53This must be it.
15:54We must find her.
15:55Let's go up.
15:57She's not here.
15:58She's at the radio station.
16:00The show is on tonight.
16:01Come on.
16:06Madeline knew that they must go
16:08to the spider lady's radio show.
16:11The spider lady?
16:12That's my favorite show.
16:14Cookie, please.
16:20So, with a little trepidation,
16:22they hurried to the radio station.
16:25Is this the doorman?
16:26You found them and then you lost them again?
16:30Okay, thank you.
16:33I can't do my show without my lucky earrings.
16:37I just can't.
16:39Voila.
16:40I believe this is it.
16:47Yes?
16:50Pardon, mademoiselle.
16:51Have you lost something recently?
16:56My earrings?
16:57My spider earrings?
16:59Oh, that's wonderful.
17:02Thank you.
17:04You darling girl.
17:07You have saved the day.
17:09It gave Madeline such great pleasure
17:12to return the glittering treasure.
17:14The doorman found them in the lobby.
17:17He must have dropped them in your treat bag by mistake.
17:20Madeline, I am so proud.
17:23Now, as a reward,
17:24I have just enough time before my show
17:27to take you out to dinner.
17:29I insist.
17:30May my friends come too?
17:32Of course.
17:33Bring them in.
17:38You have so many friends.
17:42And I am happy to treat you all to dinner
17:44at my favorite restaurant.
17:46Ooh, American food.
17:51So, for another Halloween treat,
17:53the actress took them out to eat
17:55in a restaurant quite elite.
17:57We love our bread.
17:59We love our butter.
18:01But most of all,
18:03we love each other.
18:06Hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken.
18:10Egg rolls and spaghetti.
18:17Pizza and pastrami.
18:21What is that?
18:23This is French food.
18:25My very favorite.
18:27Pâté.
18:28What did you say?
18:30Pâté?
18:31Escargot.
18:32They look like snails.
18:34They are.
18:35Le soufflet au chocolat.
18:38It wobbles.
18:39The girls were all surprised to see
18:42French food of each variety.
18:46Everything we eat at home.
18:48Just like my mother.
18:50This food is so strange.
18:52Oh, snails, yuck.
18:55They viewed it with uncertainty.
18:57It looks so strange.
18:59What if we don't like it?
19:01Well, you will not know if you like it
19:03unless you try it.
19:05Okey-dokey, Madeline.
19:07If you say so.
19:17More escargot, please.
19:19The girls ate every single bite.
19:21Eating late into the night.
19:28So, what do you think, Madeline?
19:30Do you like our American customs?
19:32Oui, Maggie.
19:33America is okey-dokey with me.
19:36But how do you like our French customs?
19:38Vive la différence.
19:40That is right.
19:41Vive la différence.
19:42Vive la friendship.
19:43Vive l'Halloween.
19:44Vive the spiders.
19:48Then, in two straight lines,
19:50they went out the door
19:52to celebrate Halloween some more.
20:00And that's all there is.
20:02There isn't any more.
