03:43impersonate him.
03:46The time has come when you can repay me
03:50for what I have done.
03:52It's horrible, I tell you.
03:54Working on the dead.
03:56Trying to bring back life.
03:58It's not natural.
04:00You with your weird idea.
04:02Haven't I stayed here and hurt dying dogs?
04:05Yeah.
04:06And even that miserable cat.
04:10And for what?
04:12For a measly roofing food.
04:14Because you took me in.
04:16And I was dumb enough.
04:20Once a ham, always a ham.
04:28You, an actor?
04:35But don't forget, my dear Maxwell, the police
04:40would be very glad to find you.
04:45I didn't mean I wouldn't.
04:46Of course not.
04:51In time, you may become a great man.
05:10But, I won't say that one.
05:22So long?
05:23This is the one, here!
05:53File number 26941, Maria Altura, 24, Suicide. Carbon monoxide gas, not claimed.
06:23Perfect. But we'll have to work fast.
06:53Thank God. Them stiffs is getting heavier and more of them every day.
07:08Between the gangsters and the autodrivers, we don't need another war to carry off the population.
07:13You didn't even mention suicides. They even got the Cardinal working overtime.
07:28Say, did you see the butte that's come in today?
07:32Did I?
07:33She's the one that has the Cardinal doing the night work.
07:38What? Special autopsy?
07:52Must be.
07:53I wonder who that old is, 60 o'clock.
08:08I must get her out of here. She must have oxygen.
08:14Unlock the side door and back up the clock. But watch out for the guard.
08:29And as soon as he's out of the way, we'll take her out of here.
08:33You say the corpse of the young woman has been stolen?
08:48Yes. And it sure has me puzzled.
08:51Well, I might thought I took it.
08:53Uh-huh. I'd have swore it was the Cardinal himself.
08:56There must have been a very strong resemblance.
09:04Yeah, he was a dead image of him. And talked like him, too.
09:08Oh, you talked to him?
09:10No. No, he was talking to some other old fellow there that looked like candy cloths, as I said to Jake.
09:16He had whiskers, and bushy hair, and his eyes was wild, and it must have been some other two fellows.
09:25Could you positively identify if you saw the party?
09:28I wouldn't swear to anything now after being so sure as the Cardinal.
09:34You know, Mike's description is very much like your friend Meyer Schultz.
09:39Tell me, uh, have you seen him late?
09:43Well, why, Dr. Meyer Schultz is really a great research scientist.
09:48Why, he has formulated some amazing methods for preserving gland extracts in the most potent states.
09:55He's no body snatcher.
09:58Well, doctors and scientists often have some queer things in their minds.
10:03Anyway, uh, I'll look into it.
10:06Sweetie, Jones. I wouldn't like to offend the doctor.
10:10Don't worry. I'll do nothing to embarrass you. Thank you.
10:22Captain, what do I do about this?
10:25Collins, see if you have anything there on Don Maxwell. Last heard from in this city.
10:40Uh, impersonations, vaudeville. Yeah.
10:44Okay, Cap. Let's see what they got in their files on Don Maxwell.
10:50With 24 hours complete rest, she will recover.
10:55With 24 hours complete rest, she will recover.
11:00Think of it.
11:18Life, back in a body that's sought oblivion.
11:22Not oblivion.
11:24It's uncanny.
11:26The possibilities terrify me.
11:35But not one word out.
11:39This is but a step.
11:43Cases like this has the element of doubt.
11:48What I want is a victim with a shattered heart.
11:53Yes, a heart.
11:56That I can replace.
11:59That I can replace.
12:00With this peeping thing.
12:02I have forced life back into.
12:08You will get me such a victim, Maxwell.
12:12It will be my supreme accomplishment.
12:17Not from the morgue.
12:26They'll get the streets.
12:27I don't care where you get it.
12:30From the morgue.
12:31From the streets.
12:32The undertaker.
12:34Get one.
12:36The end.
12:39Will justify.
12:40Demains.
12:49The undertaker.
12:50Around the corner.
12:51That gangster shot today.
12:53Just the thing.
13:06The manifesto.
13:17You have to immoralize.
13:20Perfectly.
13:25You have to immoralize.
13:27You have to let it start.
13:28You have toollendaa.
13:29Yes.
13:30You have to let it drag.
13:32I don't know.
14:02Where is it?
14:08I... I couldn't get it.
14:16Coward!
14:22Oh, you fools!
14:25You have failed me
14:26in the greatest moment
14:29of my life!
14:32No!
14:59No!
15:02I have it.
15:15You know my powers.
15:17You have worked with me.
15:19You have faith in me.
15:22Here, take this.
15:24Take it and take your life and I will give it back to you.
15:27My bleeding heart shall be in your body and will live again.
15:33Only think of it.
15:35You will live.
15:39You will live.
15:43Live.
15:57Live.
16:04Live.
16:13Live.
16:20Live.
16:21Oh, my God.
16:51and of my benefactors.
16:55How horrible.
16:56You have so much to give the world.
17:05But has he?
17:10Why should the unconscious peace of the dead
17:14be disturbed?
17:17Isn't the spark that moves the market
17:19the self-same spark that moves the man?
17:24Preserving that spark in an individual
17:26is not important.
17:29What we do with the spark
17:30while we have it is important.
17:35In my assurance the spark is gone.
17:39In my trial
17:41it lives.
17:49This makes him unhappy.
17:51There's nothing to bring him back.
17:55I'd better hide him.
17:56There's nothing to bring him back.
17:58I'd better hide him.
17:59want a
18:09light.
18:11This makes him unhappy.
18:13There's nothing to bring him back.
18:16I'd better hide him.
18:18I have to hide him.
18:48Dr. Meyer shows, please.
18:53He isn't here.
18:56Oh, terrible.
18:58It's so very urgent.
19:00Will you tell him that Mr. Buckley is having positively alarming hallucinations?
19:06Why, he thinks he's the orangutan murderer, imposed murder of the room more.
19:11Tell the doctor I must have some definite help.
19:15I'll go get him and bring him in.
19:17No, don't do that.
19:47Myers-Schultz would be missed.
19:53Maxwell never would.
19:57Well, never would.
20:27Well, never would.
20:29Yes.
20:31Yes.
20:33Yes.
20:35Yes.
20:37Yes.
20:39Yes.
20:41Yes.
20:43Yes.
20:59Yes.
21:01Not only do I look like Meyer Schultz, I am Meyer Schultz.
21:31You must be a great man!
22:01I'll give him a shot to relieve the nurse tension.
22:08May I help him?
22:10We'll try that first.
22:17Take off your coat.
22:22Take off your coat.
22:29Take off your coat.
22:36Take off your coat.
22:52Super-adrenaline.
23:19No, not that.
23:33Water.
23:36That'll do no harm.
23:43And I will be rid of them.
23:49I will be rid of them.
24:18You will feel better.
24:25Slipping.
24:29Doctor, he seems to be getting worse instead of better.
24:33Stealing through my body.
24:44Creeping through my veins.
24:48Pouring in my blood.
24:55Dust of fire in my brain.
24:59Stabbing me.
25:01Agony.
25:03I can't stand this torture.
25:08This torment.
25:10I can't stand it.
25:12I won't.
25:14I won't.
25:15I won't.
25:16I won't.
25:17I won't.
25:19I won't.
25:30What was in that pipe hole?
26:00Oh, he's dead.
26:20Doctor, what have you done?
26:24This looks like murder.
26:25No, no, not murder.
26:30My assistant shot himself.
26:36Shot himself?
26:38When?
26:40Why, I only saw him an hour ago.
26:43Why didn't you call the police?
26:45No, not the police.
26:48I wanted to bring him back to life.
26:50I wanted to experiment on him.
26:53In fact, I must.
26:58I can restore him.
27:00You shot your assistant just to experiment on him?
27:07I had a baby.
27:15No!
27:17I can't do it.
27:18I can't do it.
27:19I can't do it.
27:20Goodbye.
27:21Bye-bye.
27:22Goodbye.
27:22Goodbye.
27:23Goodbye.
27:23Bye-bye.
27:23Dr. Monk, I have often heard of your uncanny experiment, but this tops them all.
27:43But I think we speak the same language.
27:48Am I right?
27:50Well, I just don't get what you mean, same language.
27:55We have a common interest.
27:58When you bring your assistant back to life, his mind will do as you direct.
28:05You can do the same to Buckley, and he will do as I direct.
28:17Buckley saw my body. The police. If they shall come. I must bring him back.
28:34Buckley saw my body. The police. If they shall come. I must bring him back.
28:46I'll find that formula.
28:58Kitty, kitty. Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
29:05Oh, howdy, Doc. Say, a couple of my cats got away. You seen them anywhere?
29:14Of course not. What would I want with your cats?
29:17Oh, well, I didn't know. I thought maybe, you know, you might use them for, well, some experiments or something.
29:25Me? Cats? Never.
29:28Oh, that is, I think too much of Satan to use cats for experiments.
29:34Oh, well, that's what I thought, you know.
29:37Well, no harm meant, Doc. Well, so long. Thanks.
29:44What am I going to do? The police will be here any minute.
30:06What am I going to do? The police will be here any minute.
30:08I am not the force of a body. I'll hide it. I'll burn it.
30:15No. Let's get through that. The basement.
30:22Oh!
30:26Oh!
30:31My name is John.
30:33I will be a knife.
30:35I will be a knife.
30:37But without my knife, it's not a knife.
30:39You have to throw the knife.
30:40I am going to go here.
30:43Oh, I'm going to go.
30:45Oh, that looks at the knife.
30:47What am I going to do?
30:50Satan, the claim, you wretch.
31:18Stand between me and salvation, will you?
31:48Why?
31:50It's nothing like an oyster.
31:55Why?
32:02It's nothing like an oyster.
32:04Or a crepe.
32:10But the gleam is gone.
32:25Ha ha, ha!
32:32Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
32:35Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
33:02Oh, my God.
33:32Do you know I've Dr. Meyer Schultz and his assistant Don Maxwell?
33:58Sure. They're sort of queer, I'd say. There's lots of queer goings on up there.
34:03Why, they even brought a dead dog back to life once.
34:06Well, that sounds very remarkable to me.
34:08It may be, but to my notion, those that monkeys were what they got no business to get queer sooner or later.
34:14Maybe you're right.
34:15I know I am. I even heard a shot up there last night.
34:19Why didn't you notify the police?
34:21That's their business, not mine.
34:28I understand for your neighbors that your cats are making noise at night.
34:40Dr. Meyer Schultz has complained.
34:45Yeah, so he's been stealing my cats for his experiments.
34:49I know. I've been spying on them.
34:52How many cats have you? What's the matter, Rat?
34:54Oh, thousands of them. Right here in my backyard.
34:57Thousands?
34:58Yeah, I've got a thousand cats, too. Want to see them?
35:01What's the idea? You sell them?
35:03Oh, no. It's my own idea.
35:09I'm in the business.
35:17For business.
35:19Oh, I see cats for her.
35:21Don't get it. Quick.
35:23Where do the rats come in?
35:25Oh, you ain't as quick as I thought.
35:29Look.
35:31You see, I figured out that rats breed faster than cats.
35:38And cat skins makes good fur.
35:41Cats eat rats.
35:44And rats eat raw meat.
35:46That is, they eat the carcasses of the cat.
35:50So, the rats eat the cat.
35:53The cats eat the rats.
35:55And I get the skins.
35:57Well, rats eat the cats.
36:00Well, that is news.
36:02Stumpful, ain't it?
36:04Say, by the way, did you hear a shot last night?
36:07Maybe.
36:08I don't know.
36:10Hi, Maise.
36:11We know your heart boils.
36:12You don't have to stay in the water for 30 minutes to prove it.
36:25Oh, let me alone.
36:26Hey, Maisie, we know your heart boils.
36:35You don't have to stay in the water 30 minutes to prove it.
36:38Oh, let me alone.
36:39I may not be decent, but I'm sure going to be clean.
36:42Hey, if anyone is entitled to the first place in that bathroom, it should be me.
36:48Didn't I sign the register and welcome you all as secret guests?
36:51If it wasn't for nervy little Alice, you'd all be sinking your weary bones into the soft recesses of some park bench
37:01with light, fleecy coverlets made by the great American press.
37:07Press?
37:08That reminds me, I have press in business.
37:21Here's one for the book.
37:30Sandwich man pounding pavements walks onto a wallet with 42 grand in it.
37:35I'd like to find that man.
37:37Maybe we could sandwich him in.
37:39Can you imagine?
37:40The darn fool turns it in.
37:41His head must be a jelly bean instead of what they thought it was.
37:44Well, it sure was soft all right, but would it be soft to land on 42 grand?
37:52Yeah, but listen, after he turned it in, people made such a fuss over him that he went nutty.
37:56Thought he was the almighty in person.
37:58So that's what being honest gets you.
38:01A nice, soft, padded cell in the bug house.
38:03La cucaracha, la cockroacha.
38:09It's pretty tough.
38:11Imagine the poor guy.
38:12I'll bet nobody noticed him all his life.
38:15And then, say, wasn't there some guy in history that spent all his life looking for an honest man?
38:22Sure.
38:22In his days, men were men.
38:25But today, they're too scared to be anything but honest.
38:29Yeah, but a brave guy can sure get away with plenty.
38:34Say, you must have been reading the papers.
38:36Or maybe you've been drinking crazy water in your head, seriously.
38:39Be yourself, Alice.
38:41Play the heavy, heavy.
38:42Don't suit you.
38:43Oh, that's getting me down.
38:45Always broke and never a break.
38:48Why don't you ditch that ham?
38:50Pick yourself a rich husband.
38:52Rich husband?
38:53I've heard they come that way.
38:55Not very often.
38:57Often enough, but not our way.
38:59Oh, the girl has brains.
39:01You don't have to put a zipper on her skull to prove it either.
39:03Alice!
39:04Alice, listen to this.
39:06Down back to where personality impersonator gets lucky break.
39:09Why, that's your husband, ain't it?
39:11Tighten down, will ya?
39:13Let her read it.
39:14By queer quirk of fate, actor falls heir to Australian estate.
39:18This paper is trying to find him.
39:20He used to be around in vaudeville days, but we haven't heard much of him lately.
39:24The lucky ham.
39:26From now on, he'll have the company of a good age.
39:29We'll have wonders ever seen him.
39:32Say, I wonder if he still was that goofy professor.
39:40He's inherited a fortune.
39:43You say a fortune?
39:45He never spoke to me of any rich relative.
39:48He hardly knew of them himself.
39:51I believe it was his uncle in Australia.
39:54I am certainly glad to hear that.
39:56I'm sure he'll be pleased.
39:59Oh, but don't tell him.
40:01You see, I want to tell him the news first.
40:05Oh, that's only natural.
40:07Mrs. Maxwell, your husband will be here at eight tonight.
40:12All right.
40:13I'm sure he'll be here at nine tonight.
40:18The End
40:48The End
41:18The Gleam
41:39It was in Meyer Schultz's eyes
41:43When he wanted to murder me
41:46It was in Mrs. Buckley's eyes
41:50When she wanted to murder her husband
41:53Alice had the gleam in her eye
41:55When she wanted to find me
41:57She'd murder me
42:01That's what she wants to do
42:04I must get rid of her
42:07But now
42:11Mrs. Buckley
42:14She will help
42:17She must help
42:21We are lost
42:25You are right
42:26But
42:29Before I can get him back here
42:32You will have to help me
42:34Mrs. Maxwell
42:35You're crazy
42:36And will be here any minute
42:38She thinks that I murdered her husband
42:41And wants to turn me over to the police
42:44We must keep her subdued
42:46Till I can get Buckley
42:47Down in the basement
42:53Is a secret vault
42:54We will put her down there
42:57You quiet her by jabbing this in her arm
43:02And in the meantime
43:04I will go get Buckley
43:06It sounds alright
43:08Except the fact she's crazy
43:12It seems to me she has the right idea
43:17So you feel that way too
43:19Stay in there
43:24I'll call you when needed
43:25At last I have really secure living for us
43:35We can travel or anything we want
43:37Then you knew of the inheritance?
43:40Sure
43:40I have one little job to accomplish
43:42Then we can leave together
43:44No doubt you were surprised at this disguise
43:46Oh no
43:47I wouldn't be surprised at anything from you
43:51No honey
43:52You were here in time to help me
43:54I knew there was a catch in this someplace
43:56Let's spill it
43:58In the other room
44:01I have a crazy woman I've been treating
44:04Ha ha
44:05So you've been treating
44:07Quiet will you
44:08Now this is serious
44:09Our lives are in danger
44:11What do you mean
44:13Are
44:14That's what I said
44:14Now listen to me
44:16I want you to help me take this woman downstairs
44:21I'll give her a shot
44:23Then you take care of her
44:26Till I get help
44:27Well
44:28How about me getting the help
44:31She is quiet now
44:35Isn't she
44:36Yes
44:37But she'll break out any minute
44:39She's not afraid of a woman
44:41So if she happens to get wild
44:45Just shove this into her arm
44:46Keep it hid
44:48And all will be well
44:51All right Mrs. Buckley
45:05We will go downstairs now
45:07I have a special treatment room there
45:10I have a special treatment room there
45:40Help
45:41Keep it

46:35Oh, my God.
47:05Look at that room, Parker.
47:12You come with me, Finney.
47:18I've got orders to search this place
47:20and take everyone in it down to headquarters for questioning.
47:26What is that?
47:28Nothing.
47:29A couple of my patients having a little argument.
47:32Take me down there.
47:33It won't do any good.
47:35There are a couple of woodsy mortises fighting it out.
47:38Man, you're crazy.
47:39What kind of a place is this?
47:41Oh, I'm crazy, am I?
47:43Let me tell you something.
47:46Those women have the game.
47:48I know you're saying it's a crime.
47:50Oh, that's a crime.
47:51All right, get it going.
48:03What's behind this wall?
48:21Finney, tear this wall down.
48:23Murderous Satan.
48:25Threats that eat my usual farts.
48:27He still has a crime.
48:36Why was he crying, man?
48:38It's so uncomfortable.
48:39Oh, happy one of my enemies.
48:40I've been eating everybody.
48:41But I'm hecho.
48:41He lost my room at the mall.
48:41sprite door will be looking at things.
48:42I don't want anyone else.
48:44I don't know.
48:45Excuse the fact.
48:47I've never done anything.
48:49Let me tell you something.
48:50Did you talk to the statue?
48:51What do you want?
48:51No.
48:52I'm sorry.
48:54I got looked.
48:55By fall.
49:56With misery and humiliation.
50:00I only wanted to amuse.
50:03To entertain.
50:05But here I am.
50:07Spent my life in perfecting enough that no one wanted.
50:12No one appreciated.
50:13I showed them Dr. Mayershaw.
50:21A real impersonation.
50:29Mayershaw.
50:30My supreme impersonation.
50:34Mayershaw.
