Step back in time with The Adventures of Jane, a delightful 1949 British comedy that brings the iconic comic strip character "Jane" to the silver screen. Based on the widely popular daily newspaper strip by Norman Pett, this film offers a fascinating blend of wartime nostalgia, slapstick humor, charming performances, and post-war British culture.
Starring Chrystabel Leighton-Porter, the real-life model and inspiration for the original "Jane" comic strip, the film is a fascinating cultural artifact. Her portrayal of Jane is endearing, cheeky, and filled with the same lovable clumsiness that won the hearts of readers during the war years.
🎥 Plot Summary
Jane Gay (played by Chrystabel Leighton-Porter) is the quintessential British everywoman who constantly finds herself in sticky, humorous situations—usually involving espionage, miscommunications, and misplaced items of clothing. This time, Jane is entrusted with delivering a secret package to Brighton, but what seems like a straightforward task soon spirals into a comic fiasco.
With every step, Jane is unknowingly pursued by enemy agents eager to retrieve the parcel. Her charming innocence, quick wit, and a series of wardrobe malfunctions help her inadvertently evade danger in hilarious ways. Along the way, she meets a variety of quirky characters, including bumbling officials, suspicious strangers, and gallant heroes.
The humor is classic slapstick, filled with double entendres, clever dialogue, and physical comedy reminiscent of vaudeville and early British sitcoms. The film stays true to the spirit of the original strip while giving audiences a moving picture of a character who had become a morale-boosting national treasure during WWII.

03:48Pardon me madam, will you please accept this, an old family end and may it bring you luck.
03:58Goodbye madam.
04:02Blimey, a back scratcher.
04:14Good evening. Good evening sir.
04:16Good evening, Miss Jane.
04:18What name sir?
04:19Whitey.
04:20Tom Whitey.
04:21If you just wait a minute sir, I'll find out if Miss Jane can see you.
04:24I think she'll see me all right, I'm an old friend of hers.
04:27In that case sir, you might as well go down.
04:29She's in number one, star dressing room sir.
04:31Oh, thank you.
04:35Come in.
04:39Life time of all people.
04:41Remember me?
04:42Let me see, could it be the king of science?
04:44Heavens, if I change as much as all that.
04:47Still the same old Jane, eh?
04:49Success hasn't come to your head.
04:51Perhaps it can't find the head.
04:52But tell me kind sir, she said.
04:54To what do I owe the honour of this visit?
04:56Well, I'm living down at Brighton at the moment.
04:58And I see that you're advertised to judge a beauty contest at the Tudor's close hotel tomorrow night.
05:02Yes, in a weak moment I agree to go along.
05:04Fine, I shall be there.
05:05Now what about supper together before the show?
05:07Good, that's settled then.
05:09Hey, you're a fast worker.
05:10Oh no, only with an old friend like you.
05:12Anyhow, I won't keep you now because I know you've lots and lots of things to do.
05:15I'll meet your train in tomorrow morning.
05:17What time will it be?
05:18About nine o'clock.
05:19You're welcome.
05:20I have the gun, I'll run you straight up.
05:46Hi, Captain.
05:47Oh, you're on time for a change.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Have you, uh, got any?
05:50Yes, here it is.
05:51Just a sort of thing for a man who goes in for close shaves.
05:55Okay.
05:57Here's your dough.
05:58Oh, thanks.
05:59Well, I won't give you a receipt for this.
06:00We'll just call it a gentleman's agreement, shall we?
06:03Don't get too smart, Captain.
06:04The boss is kicking.
06:05Why?
06:06Well, the rocks have been getting kind of small lately, and you know, you don't deal in chips.
06:10Oh, I'm quite aware of that.
06:11But I've got an idea the big stuff will be over here soon.
06:13Including the famous Bulaway O' Diamond.
06:15The Bulaway O' Diamond cut?
06:16Why?
06:17I know, I know, Captain.
06:18But I thought that was safely tucked away on the continent.
06:20Oh, so it is.
06:21I've got an idea.
06:22It'll be over here soon.
06:23Oh, oh.
06:24So it's me.
06:25Yeah.
06:26The, uh, London train ought to be in soon.
06:28What's your interest in it, blonde or brunette?
06:30That's no concern of yours.
06:31All right, Captain.
06:32Keep your hair on.
06:33I won't spoil your fun.
06:34I've got to go anyway.
06:35Well, I'll see you later on.
06:36All right, and watch yourself.
06:37Okay, yeah, yeah.
06:38Bye-bye.
06:39Bye-bye.
06:40Bye-bye.
06:41Bye-bye.
06:42Bye-bye.
06:43Bye-bye.
06:44Bye-bye.
06:45Bye-bye.
06:46Bye-bye.
07:17Oh, here, let me give you my coat.
07:26Oh, thank you so much.
07:27I don't know what I should do, darling.
07:28Oh, forget it.
07:29Look, I've got my car here.
07:30Can I give you a lift?
07:31Just a minute.
07:32Oh, run along, little boy.
07:33Picture is over.
07:33Do you want a smack on the jaw?
07:35Oh, please, Tom, don't make a scene.
07:36Oh, so you two know each other?
07:37Of course we know each other.
07:39This is Jane.
07:40Oh, so this is the famous Jane.
07:42Let me see.
07:42Aren't you judging a beauty contest somewhere tonight?
07:44Yes, that's right.
07:45Oh, well, well.
07:46It's a small world, isn't it?
07:47I think we'll be seeing quite a lot of each other.
07:48You're an optimist.
07:50Come along, Jane.
07:51Oh, where shall I return the coat?
07:52Oh, don't worry about that.
07:53I shall pick it up later.
07:54I suppose you'll stay at the Tudor?
07:55Yes.
07:56Well, I shall pick it up there after the show.
07:58Okay.
07:58Good night.
07:59Good night.
07:59Good night.
08:00Bye-bye.
08:16Good night.
08:30Good night.
08:36Good night.
08:38Good night.
08:39There you are little boy, you'll be alright, I'll leave a light on for you, night night,
09:03good night.
09:04Good night.
09:14Good night.
09:24I'll fill them up again, ma'am.
09:39Yes, sir.
09:46Keep the change.
09:48Thank you, sir.
09:52Good well.
09:54Thank you very much.
10:07It's very nice of you to help me, both of you.
10:10Going to see the beauty contest, sir?
10:11No, no.
10:12All I want is a nice place to sleep.
10:15I'm under bed before my wife catches me like this.
10:20Do you know my wife?
10:21No, sir.
10:21Oh, thank you.
10:26Well, please stop now.
10:27I'm going straight upstairs to bed.
10:29Straight upstairs.
10:29Good night.
10:30Good night, sir.
10:30Good night.
10:33Pardon me, sir.
10:33Jane, you look wonderful.
10:42You feel hungry?
10:57Good.
10:57Good evening madam. Good evening sir. Now is there anything you'd like?
11:10Yes sir. What do you recommend?
11:12Well now let me see. How about some nice cupcakes garnished with onions.
11:18Onions? Yes sir.
11:19Do you realize I'm going to dance with this young lady?
11:21That's quite all right sir. When you get the bill, it'll take your breath away.
11:25What is your capacity here? About 15 pints. I mean I am the new manager.
11:30Well then surely you know what's good. I certainly do.
11:34And what did you do if I might say so?
11:37Do you serve crabs? We serve anybody sir.
11:40Tell me, have you got Carl's feet?
11:42No madam, it's these tight shoes that make you walk like that.
11:45I fancy a nice juicy steak. Do you really sir?
11:48I've been fancying that since 1939.
11:51What can you bring us?
11:52Well madam, might I suggest we have some very nice tour-de-doo nissoirs.
11:57I'll let me to detail.
11:58That sounds rather nice. What is it exactly?
12:02Miss holes.
12:03Well do the best you can for it.
12:05Certainly madam.
12:08Grand seeing you again Jane?
12:10Yes, I've often thought about you and wondering what you're doing.
12:12Have you really though?
12:14Oh, is that a present from somebody special?
12:18Goodness no, it was given me only yesterday by one of my friends.
12:21You found a cheek.
12:23Shall I?
12:24No, of course not.
12:25No need to be, this old chap's old enough to be my grandfather.
12:27Well then send it back to the old past.
12:29I can't imagine anyone giving away a valuable diamond bracelet like that without any some object in view.
12:34There's nothing like that about old Snade.
12:36He's just a benevolent old boy who gets a kick out of seeing my act.
12:42Just a minute.
12:44They're not diamonds?
12:45Not diamonds?
12:46No.
12:47It's only paste.
12:48Well of all the old stones though, it's fancy putting one over on me like that.
12:51I thought it was funny.
12:52Why if those stones were real that would be worth thousands.
12:55Oh, Snade always was a bit eccentric.
12:57Did you say he was very old?
12:58Very old and crusty, sir.
13:001908 vintage.
13:01I think you're going to like this.
13:03You'd like some wine, wouldn't you James?
13:05Why that?
13:06Oh, just a moment, sir.
13:10A corp web.
13:11That shows how old it is.
13:14There you are, sir.
13:16There you are, madam.
13:17You know we pride ourselves on our wine here.
13:22Thank you very much.
13:27Well, cheers.
13:28Cheers.
13:31You know, I'm glad those diamonds didn't turn out to be real.
13:33Otherwise I might have been suspicious.
13:34Suspicious?
13:35Yes.
13:37You see, I'm down here on a special job at the moment.
13:39There's been a lot of diamond smuggling on this part of the coast.
13:42And we've had special orders from headquarters to round up the gang working this racket.
13:45Sounds thrilling, can I help?
13:46I'm afraid not, but this is a man's job.
13:48Women can be as good as men any day.
13:49Oh, I'm not going to have that.
13:50Well, I'll prove it.
13:51Anyway, I've got to get some results quickly.
13:54Otherwise I'm in the soup.
13:55Soup, sir.
13:56You are, sir.
13:57Real scotch broth.
13:58Scotch broth.
13:59Yes, sir, but don't tell anybody.
14:01I'll put the scotch in myself.
14:15Ah, 66.
14:16Oh, damn.
14:17Home.
14:18Oh, rolling G Bowl.
14:19You must be the wrong king.
14:22Oh, yeah.
14:30Oh, yeah.
14:31You must be the wrong king.
14:40I mean, there's a bit of bad luck.
14:54But why see it first?
15:10I mean, there's a bit of bad luck.
15:40Ladies, and those who followed you in, it's a great pleasure to announce that the beauty
15:48contest for which you've all come to see is now about to commence.
15:53I might mention that we have some beautiful, luscious pieces of homework here tonight.
15:58And believe me or believe me not, it'll be days and days before I get my mind back on
16:03my job.
16:07Hello girls, all ready?
16:08Best of luck to you all, you all have been very lovely.
16:11Now darling, a little bit of opposition, but you didn't worry, you'll make it.
16:14I wish you meant that.
16:15Of course I do, look, you've even got number seven.
16:17Come on, best of luck.
16:18Thanks.
16:19Go ahead, let's follow through.
16:21Best of luck to you all.
16:23Now here's wishing the contestants the best of luck, and may the prettiest girl win.
22:23I'm sorry, Jane, if I offended you, but...
22:26Well, it's hardly the thing accepting an invitation from a stranger.
22:29Why not call me a flirt and done with it?
22:31What's going on here?
22:32Come on, you drunken drunker.
22:34Get out of here.
22:36Oh, that's a fine thing.
22:44Oh, that's a fine thing.
22:45Where's the manager?
22:46Where's the manager?
22:47Where's the manager?
22:49Where's the manager?
22:50Where's the manager?
22:51Manager?
22:52You're not suggesting that I knew anything about that drunken person?
22:56Oh, no.
22:57He probably got into the wrong room by mistake.
22:59Probably?
23:00Well, you know what I mean.
23:01Well, you know what I mean, Jane.
23:02Jane, I...
23:03I know you're being very insulting.
23:04Good night.
23:05Well, if that's the way you feel about it, good night.
23:08Good night.
23:34Is Miss Jane in?
23:35No, sir.
23:36She left early with Captain Cleaver.
23:38Said she was going on a yachting trip.
23:40But we'll be back to lunch.
23:41Oh.
23:42Thanks.
23:43Not at all, sir.
23:45Oh, hello.
23:46They're not back yet.
23:48I never thought I'd be giving them a run around like this.
23:50Oh, it does seem odd.
23:51I suppose nothing could have happened to the yacht.
23:53No.
23:54He's got the caps up to something.
23:56Well, then we'd better get up to something.
23:58Come on.
24:01Do you think you'll ever get it to go?
24:03No, I don't know.
24:04Things are looking pretty tough at the moment.
24:05We've been drifting for the last hour.
24:07Yeah, I can't understand it.
24:08He's never let me down like this before.
24:10If we were in a car, I should think this was a day.
24:12Oh, and it looks like a wee habit.
24:13What are you going to do about it?
24:15Oh, I don't know.
24:16I never was much good with a spanner.
24:17Yes, get it to me.
24:18Why, what do you know about Indians?
24:19Oh, I picked up a thing to do when I was in the rain.
24:21Totally.
24:22Oh, right. Certainly.
24:23There.
24:24I must get this thing to go.
24:25I've got two shows to do at the Grand The Might.
24:26Oh, I hope you'll make it.
24:28Well, at least they've passed the time, will they?
24:43Oh, believe me, Jane, I wouldn't have had this happen for the world.
24:45Can't say I'm exactly enjoying it.
24:47Oh, you're not scared, are you?
24:49Oh, look, Jane, here.
24:51Here comes the old cross-channel packet.
24:52We'll signal her when she gets closer.
24:54Ah, you'll soon be in the ground.
24:55Don't worry.
24:58Summoning distress.
24:59Alter course.
25:00Starboard 10.
25:03He was altering course.
25:04Do you think you'll pick them up?
25:05Looks like it.
25:07That means they retained a new haven.
25:09Come on.
25:10Let's see if we can get there before them.
25:11Right.
25:14There's some hot coffee and dry clothes for you in the cabin below.
25:17The steward will tend to.
25:18Ah, thanks.
25:19Steward.
25:20Sir.
25:21I'll look after this gentleman.
25:22He can change my state from.
25:23Well, that's awfully kind of you, sir.
25:25Well, take care to yourself, Jane, and don't get lost.
25:27Do you think I can have a nice place?
25:36Ah, nice cozy quarters you've got here.
25:38Oh, not bad.
25:39You know, it's awfully good of you to look after me like this.
25:41Oh, it's nothing.
25:42I say, you've got the stuff.
25:43You've got the dame's bracelet.
25:44Yes, it's here.
25:45It's like taking candy from a child.
25:49Come in.
25:50Yes, we were out there for about three hours, you know.
25:52If the few traps hadn't picked us up, I don't know what would have happened.
25:54Oh, it's one of those things.
25:55Dry clothes for the gentleman, sir.
25:56Ah, thanks, you've got the stuff.
26:00Thanks, sir.
26:01Thank you very much.
26:02I think I'll get into that.
26:04Here, you do the staff, will you?
26:07This stands a real feud if the boss ought to be tickle pink.
26:10I say, after all the trouble we've taken getting it.
26:12Look at the kit they've given me.
26:14And the old hat.
26:16I reckon if we can get that through the customs, we'll be putting it out here.
26:32Yes, thank you.
26:33I'll get in touch with Lou, and then he can get in touch with the little man.
26:36That's fine.
26:37Maybe in about three or four days.
26:38Hi, landmothers.
26:39Ah, hello.
26:40Oh, what are you laughing at?
26:41If you could see what I can see, how many of the trailer?
26:43Oh, this.
26:44This is the new look for men.
26:46All the white boys will soon be wearing this.
26:48No kidding.
26:49Oh, this gentleman's been awfully kind to me.
26:50Mr. Miller, Mick, my friend.
26:51This is Jane.
26:52How do you do?
26:53How do you do?
26:54How do you do?
26:55How do you do?
26:56How do you do?
26:57How do you do?
26:58How do you do?
26:59How do you do?
27:00How do you do?
27:01I've never done a job.
27:02I've never done a job.
27:04I get to the right job.
27:05Oh, I've never done a job.
27:06I've never done a job.
27:07I've never done a job.
27:08Hello, Mick, my friend. This is Jane. How do you do?
27:11How do you do?
27:11Well, I think I'll give this to the steward when you haven't cleaned up.
27:14Now, steward, sir, please take that for the second, will you?
27:16Oh, and Jane, I think you'd better take care of this.
27:19I might lose it.
27:20Oh, yes. It wouldn't have mattered, though. You'd have to only pay.
27:22Well, let's have a nugget before we go in, eh?
27:24Good idea.
27:24Come on, then.
27:26Jane, you coming?
27:27Yes, all right.
27:28Have you ready with your drink, please?
27:30Bags this way.
27:32Bags this way, sir.
27:38Yes, officer. There's just a chance they may be on this boat.
27:45If they are not, we'll send out an SOS to the light boat cruise along the coast.
27:48I do hope they weren't exposed to the cold too long.
27:50Don't you worry about that. When I finish with the cat, he'll be warm enough.
27:54Have you got any new cases, Charlie?
27:57I'm not serious, Charlie.
27:59I've got some, Charlie.
28:00I've got some, you're a big fan.
28:01I've got a big fan.
28:02It's a big fan.
28:07Anything to be clear? Nothing at all.
28:12It has been a long time.
28:14Oh, I've got a big fan.
28:16It's a big fan.
28:17Oh, you've got any new stars, huh?
28:18Because you've got any new stars.
28:20I can see a big fan.
28:22Come along, Miss. You're next. Anything to declare?
28:38No, not a thing. This gentleman and I got into difficulties on his yacht, and we were picked up with a steamer.
28:44Hello, what have we got here?
28:45That's okay, George. I know this lady. This is Jane. And that bracelet's only paste.
28:49Oh, stage block, eh?
28:51That's right. Jane, I've seen your actor, and very nice, too.
28:54Yes, but just now, you better keep your mind on your job.
28:56Yes, I never let anything interfere with my business. I'm afraid, Miss, we shall have to search you.
29:00Search me?
29:01Yes, can't take any chances. You see, people have been known to conceal articles on their person.
29:05But that's ridiculous. I wouldn't do a thing like that.
29:08All the same, I'm afraid you'll have to disrobe and have a photograph taken.
29:11Me? Disrobe and have a photograph taken? How dare you?
29:14Sorry, Miss Officer.
29:18No, I won't go.
29:18You'd better do as I ask, Jane. It's only a formality.
29:22Very well.
29:23Okay, well.
29:25Now, sir.
29:28Anything to declare?
29:31Honey!
29:32Don't you honey me.
29:33Take off that stupid hat.
29:35Oh.
29:35May have been through the customs.
29:36Now I'd like to know what you've got to declare.
29:38And it better be good.
29:39On my word of honour.
29:40On your what?
29:42That's a good one.
29:43Well, it was all a matter of business.
29:44If you call taking Jane out in a yacht a matter of business, old Mother Riley's a fan dancer.
29:49Is she?
29:50Oh, come on, look here.
29:51If the deal comes off, I'll buy you a fur coat.
29:53Come on, let's get out of here.
29:55Come on.
29:55Good morning.
29:56Bonjour.
29:57Anything to declare?
29:58Please, no, thank you so much.
29:59I keep my mouth shut.
30:00Oh, is that so?
30:01Well, let's have the bag open.
30:02Please, I tell you, I have nothing.
30:04Oh, we'll see about it.
30:05Come on.
30:09Please, please, if you take anything, I summon him into police to have you arrest me for rubbing you.
30:13I shall take it at ease.
30:15Okay.
30:16Thank you so good to me.
30:17You can go through now.
30:19Please, what are you doing, my beautiful new bag?
30:21You can't do this.
30:22You can't go through this, I do.
30:24Oh, I tell you, I telephone to my counsel.
30:26I summon the police.
30:27I have you arrest, you mark, my beautiful new bag.
30:30I just pay a five thousand lire on the black market.
30:32But now you mark it.
30:35Mamma mia.
30:38I take six to four as a folder.
30:40Wouldn't be surprised.
30:41I've heard of a rascal, Jane.
30:42Do you want to see it?
30:43Do I?
30:44Oh, ho.
30:55Ah, please, you give me the kale, yes?
30:58You give me the well-est.
31:00Ah, but they won't let me go out without the market.
31:01They, they, they, they, they, they'll have the whole case down there.
31:04They make so much margarite.
31:05Please, I told you, it was a new one.
31:06It was a...
31:07Well, let that be a lesson to you.
31:22So why you ever wanted to go with him beats me.
31:24I've no time for inquest now. I must get back to the hotel to have a bath.
31:28Might you come with me?
31:29Well, I'll come as far as the hotel.
31:32I've got to do some shopping afterwards. You could come too if you wouldn't be too bored.
31:35Okay.
31:52I'll come as far as the hotel.
32:08I'll come as far as the hotel.
32:17Tell me, Jane, what's the idea of buying all these new clothes?
32:40Well, I'm opening my new show next week.
32:43Look.
32:47Well, you won't need the hat.
33:03Well, is that you, Lou?
33:05Cap, yeah?
33:06Listen, everything worked okay, this end.
33:08Yeah, that's perfectly.
33:09Not a hitch anywhere.
33:10I switched the diamond into the bracelet.
33:12Yeah, Jane wore it as she passed through the customs.
33:14Oh, nice going, Cap.
33:16But have you got the bracelet back from Jane yet?
33:18No, not yet, but I'll get it.
33:20Don't worry about that.
33:21It's in the bag.
33:23Oh, there's somebody coming.
33:24I'll call you back later.
33:29Oh, it's you.
33:30Sorry, I disappoint you.
33:32Where's your expecting Jane?
33:33Oh, listen, honey.
33:34You know, I'm always very glad to see you.
33:35But right now, I'm rather tied up.
33:37Don't tell me she's got you on a piece of string.
33:39Oh, of course, if you're going to be funny.
33:41I like that, me being funny.
33:43You're the one who stuck his neck out.
33:44Oh, for Pete's sake.
33:45You'll have to trust me.
33:46I've never let you down yet.
33:47There's always a first time.
33:49Oh, yes, maybe there is.
33:49As you can see on that woman, I can't think.
33:51Anyway, what has she got that I haven't got?
33:54Well, she's got a swell diamond bracelet.
33:55Now, if you had one like that, we could certainly go places.
33:58Oh, what's the use?
33:59Have a drink for you, go.
34:00No, thanks.
34:01I'm going along to the Tudor Clare's Hotel.
34:03When you've finished your big business,
34:05maybe you'd care to join me.
34:06Well, maybe.
34:07I don't know yet.
34:08And don't slam the door as you go out.
34:10Ah, women.
34:18Will you have me sent up to my room, please?
34:20Yes, ma'am.
34:21I'll pick you up later
34:22and take you to the theatre in town for the show.
34:25Bye-bye.
34:29Hello.
34:30Hello.
34:30Want a drink?
34:31No, thanks.
34:33I've been shopping.
34:33I bought some cute undies.
34:35I'd come up to my room to see you.
34:36Not now, if you don't mind.
34:38Oh, that's all right.
34:39I just thought you might be interested, that's all.
34:41Wait.
34:42I think I'm being rather stupid.
34:44Of course, I'm very interested in what Jane wears.
34:45So carry on, Liz.
34:48I see this is nice.
34:49It's weird, isn't it?
34:51Yes.
34:51It's nice and quiet, too.
34:56Hello, Sixty.
34:57Hello, sir.
35:00Really very expensive.
35:01Not very.
35:01Isn't that sweet?
35:02Oh, boy.
35:03I could sure go for that.
35:04Of course, I could never afford anything like this.
35:07Well, your breast doesn't have your boyfriend to buy your presents.
35:09That's quite an idea.
35:11I think, was that a present?
35:14Yes.
35:14But as a matter of fact, I'm a little annoyed about that.
35:16You see, it's practically valueless.
35:18Valueless?
35:19Yes, I don't really know why I wear it.
35:21Wouldn't I like the charm?
35:22You would?
35:23Try me.
35:24I don't know.
35:25I don't really want it.
35:28But no, it was a present.
35:29I shouldn't really give it away.
35:31I don't know, though.
35:32It would certainly all sound so right for putting one over on me.
35:35Yes, you can have it.
35:37You are, darling.
35:38You don't know what this means to me.
35:40Oh, Snape, and it will bring me luck.
35:41Perhaps it will do so for you.
35:43I bet it will.
35:44And now you must look at this.
35:45Not now, if you don't mind.
35:46I have to rush.
35:48And thanks for everything.
35:50Goodbye.
35:51Bye-bye.
35:51You by yourself, I've got to talk to you.
36:08Yes, come on in.
36:09Just cleaning up.
36:10Never mind the cleaning up.
36:11I just had word from the boss.
36:12He wants to pull away O'Donnell right away.
36:14The heat's on and there's no time to lose.
36:16Oh, don't panic.
36:16Everything's under control.
36:17Don't be too sure.
36:18With Jane running around with that bracelet, anything can happen.
36:20Oh, we've been lucky so far.
36:22That's just what makes me jumpy.
36:23You can't expect to get the bracelet all along the line.
36:25Oh, any suggestions?
36:26Yes.
36:26We've got to get that bracelet, even if it means taking Jane with it.
36:30That's not such a bad idea, either.
36:31Hey, I think you've got something there.
36:33Here, get a hold of Freddie.
36:34Grab the girl and take her down to that old cottage by the mill on the downs.
36:36Okay, Cap.
36:37Stick her down there.
36:37Come on.
36:40Hello?
36:41Jane speaking.
36:50Who?
36:51Roots.
36:53Well, it must be some mistake.
36:56What?
36:56You have a car for me to delivery, and you'd like me to have a short demonstration run?
37:01But I thought all you cars are for export only.
37:06The car's waiting downstairs?
37:07Well, yes, I can spare half an hour.
37:11I'll be down right away.
37:14Come on, Bixie boy.
37:15We're going to be taken for a ride.
37:37I'd like you to just have a look at the body work.
37:39It's...
37:40Yes, my heart.
37:43All right, guys.
37:55Hey, what's the big idea?
37:56You'll find out.
37:57I certainly will.
37:58Just a minute.
38:00If you're a good girl and behave yourself, the boys will take you right back to your hotel.
38:03That is near enough.
38:04Of course, you'll have to promise that you've never been here, and that you'll forget the
38:07whole setup.
38:08I'm supposing I don't promise.
38:10That would be just too bad, won't it?
38:12Mind you, I'm kind-hearted.
38:13I'd be inclined to let you go, but the boys here, well, they're a tough bunch.
38:19And what is it exactly that you want with me?
38:21Because you may as well know I'm rather bored with your company.
38:24I've no time for finesse.
38:26Here, hand me over that bracelet.
38:27My bracelet?
38:28What would you want with that paste thing?
38:29That's my business.
38:30Here, give it to me.
38:31What is it?
38:36That's my business.
38:38Oh, fancy bringing her to hell without it.
38:39Well, I didn't notice that she didn't have a thing, would you?
38:41You didn't notice.
38:42You're a great help, I must say.
38:43Here, beat it back to her hotel.
38:44Search the room and don't come back here without it.
38:46But suppose the police?
38:47Oh, suppose nothing.
38:48Go on, beat it.
38:49I won't.
38:49No, you won't.
38:50You'll stay here.
38:51Oh, okay.
38:52Boom-headed ape.
38:53Darling, it's me, Ruby.
39:01I've got something to show you.
39:02I've got something to show you.
39:02What are you doing here?
39:29You've taken the word out of my mouth.
39:32Where's the cap?
39:33Haven't the fog is.
39:34But I guess he'll be back.
39:35I want to see him anyway.
39:36So do I.
39:37He's an old friend of mine.
39:38We'll wait together.
39:41Where does he keep the drinks?
39:42I'll take the one.
39:48That would be very kind of you.
39:49Sure.
39:52Nice day, isn't it?
39:53It is.
39:53Not too much for me.
40:01How are you?
40:02That's very nice indeed.
40:07Cheers, Pots.
40:09Hello.
40:12That's a nice bracelet.
40:14Where did you get it?
40:16To the present.
40:17Really?
40:19From an admirer?
40:20Hardly.
40:21As a matter of fact, the famous Jane gave it to me.
40:23You said it was the aneurys.
40:25Oh.
40:26Let me have a look at it.
40:28Give it to me.
40:29Not in your life.
40:30I've lost things like that before.
40:31Give it to me, I say.
40:33I'll get it there.
40:36And keep your trap shut.
40:38Is Miss Jane in, please?
40:59She should be back here any moment.
41:01Good.
41:01I'll wait.
41:02Here you go, sir.
41:03Would you like to wait in Madam's suite?
41:05Yes, please.
41:07There you are, sir.
41:09Sois-en.
41:09Yes.
41:15Good evening, sir.
41:16Good evening.
41:17Would you bring up tea for two?
41:18Yes, sir.
41:19Would you like some fancy pastries, wouldn't you, sir?
41:22Yes, please.
41:22Leave it to me, sir.
41:24What's your little game?
41:47Oh, no, you don't.
41:48No, no, you don't.
42:13No, no.
42:13Oh, no, no.
42:17He's been gone a heck of a time
42:33Get outside and see if there's any sign of the car returning
42:35Sure, okay
42:36Why don't you relax
42:47Have a smoke
42:49Did they offer me a cigarette at the same time?
42:55I was just dying for one
42:57Well you've been such a charming company, I'll go and see if Lou's got one for you
43:17That's jolly sporty of you, don't know how I appreciate this gesture on your part
43:39That's jolly sporty of you, don't know how I appreciate this gesture on your part
43:47Oh
43:49Oh
43:51Oh
43:53Oh
43:55Oh
43:59Oh
44:01Oh
44:03Oh
44:05Oh
44:07Oh
44:09Oh
44:11Oh
44:13Oh
44:15Oh
44:17Oh
44:19Oh
44:21Oh
44:23Oh
44:25Oh
44:27Oh
44:29Oh
44:31Oh
44:33Oh
44:35Oh
44:37Oh
44:41Oh
44:43Oh
44:45Oh
44:47Oh
44:55Oh
44:57Oh
44:59Oh
45:01No sign of the car yet.
45:29Hope nothing's wrong.
45:30No.
45:31This is getting on my nerves.
45:32I thought he ought to be back by now.
45:33Sure, sure.
45:34What the blazes could be holding him up?
45:36If only you'd have the sense to notice the bracelet wasn't on her wrist, this would never have
45:39happened.
45:40All right, all right.
45:41Don't get all steamed out.
45:42That's just the trouble.
45:43It's not all right.
45:44Well, you don't notice these things.
45:45I saw she had the dog with her and...
45:47Say, where is the dog?
45:49Dog?
45:50What dog?
45:51Fritzie.
45:52She had it with her when she came in.
45:53Don't tell me you've let him run out.
45:54He's so bad at crossing the road.
45:56If anything happens to him, I'll never forgive you.
45:58Don't worry, he's around here somewhere.
45:59Fritzie.
46:00Fritzie.
46:01Fritzie.
46:02Fritzie.
46:03Fritzie.
46:04Now, don't crowd round everybody.
46:05Give the man air.
46:06Oh, I never could stand to see a cop.
46:07Oh.
46:08Oh, now she's had it.
46:09Oh, poor the brain, sir.
46:10The police are downstairs.
46:11Oh, that's good.
46:12This ought to do a bit of good.
46:13Sit down, officer.
46:14Where's the day?
46:15You feeling bad, sir?
46:16Yes, I think so.
46:17What exactly happened?
46:18Do you know who did it?
46:19Doesn't matter about that now.
46:20Where's Jane?
46:21Is she back yet?
46:22No, sir.
46:23Well, then I've got to find her.
46:24Come on.
46:25I understand there's been a murder.
46:26Worse than that, inspector.
46:27No, no, let me take care of it.
46:28It's all done, but it's all done very good.
46:29Sit down, officer.
46:30Where's the day?
46:31You feeling bad, sir?
46:32Yes, I think so.
46:33What exactly happened?
46:34Do you know who did it?
46:35Doesn't matter about that now.
46:36Where's Jane?
46:37Is she back yet?
46:38No, sir.
46:39Well, then I've got to find her.
46:40Come on.
46:41I understand there's been a murder.
46:42Worse than that, inspector.
46:43No, no, let me take care of it.
46:44I had an appointment with Jane.
46:45Yes, you know who I mean.
46:46But when I arrived, she'd come.
46:47I found a strange man in her room and he attacked me.
46:48What time was this?
46:49Doesn't matter what time it was.
46:50We've got to do something.
46:51Jane's life may be in danger.
46:52Ah, there's Jane's dog, right?
46:53Upstairs.
46:54Oh, Fritz, if only you could talk, you might be able to tell us what's happened to Jane.
47:14Hello.
47:15What's this?
47:16Here.
47:17Come on, man, get a hold of it.
47:19Held prisoner at Cottage by Old Mill. Jane. Come on.
47:31The dog's gone. The heart got out. I don't know.
47:34Anyway, I'm holding you responsible.
47:35You pipe down. You caused us enough trouble already.
47:39All right, boss. Come on. Hand it over.
47:41I ain't got it, boss.
47:42What do you mean? You haven't got it.
47:43Well?
47:44Oh, no.
47:45Now what's happened?
47:46I guess the boss tells me where he gets into a room. There's another guy there.
47:50So what? You took care of him, didn't you?
47:51Sure. But he's out of a fight. I had me work cut out.
47:54Then you beat it like a yellow rat.
47:55It wasn't my fault.
47:56Come on. We're going.
47:57Look out.
48:16Get out of there.
48:18Look out, Jack, look at us.
48:22Come on. Get out of there.
48:26Come on, get out of there.
48:37Go. Open that door.
48:39Get out of there.
48:40Get out of there.
48:42All cars, rolling all cars, proceed at once to the old cottage by the mill, girl held
48:53by wanting criminals, maybe killers, girl wearing white shoes, that is all.
49:12I'd only charge it to cut across the down, so don't take them on the main road.
49:32I'd only charge it to cut across the down, so don't take them off, so don't take them off.
49:48I'd only charge it to cut across the down, so don't take them off.
49:56The End
50:15Go on, step on it, Freddy, they're gaining on us.
50:41Yes, we're overloaded.
50:42Well, it's the girl.
50:49Help!
50:51Help!
50:52Help!
50:54Oh, jeez!
51:01Wait here, go leaving!
51:03That's it.
51:05Oh, my God.
51:35Oh, my God.
52:05I warned you guys, there was to be no slip-up.
52:17Oh, there wouldn't be much of that blockhead over there.
52:19Oh, don't blow your top.
52:20Anybody can make a mistake.
52:21Not in my organization, they don't.
52:23All right, break it up.
52:25They're all through.
52:26Yes, we've been after this old crook for years, but he's always been too clever for us.
52:29But now, thanks to Jane, I don't think he or his gang will trouble us for quite a while.
52:34By the way, where is Jane?
52:36And the bracelet.
52:42Ah, there's the evidence.
52:45Now, if you kindly take a seat, I'll get rid of these beauties.
52:48And I'd like to take a statement from you, if you don't mind.
52:58Now, miss.
53:00Goodness, I should be late for the theater.
53:01Do you mind if I give you my statement in the morning?
53:03Not at all, miss.
53:04You mustn't be late for the show.
