- 1:14 When's he go taking him down now?
- 1:16 Guess that pink slip ain't coming, Morgan.
- 1:18 looks dead.
- 1:20 How do you think you'll take it?
- 1:21 Like a soldier, my boy. Like a soldier. No ketchup?
- 1:24 This is the worst last meal I ever had.
- 1:27 Sorry, Jackson, here's a wad.
- 1:29 Oh sure glad to see you warden so the governor came through with that stay I knew he would he's a very good guy sorry Jackson
- 1:36 No word from the governor.
- 1:37 Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
- 1:41 No.
- 1:42 No word?
- 1:48 No word, huh? Well...
- 1:51 I'll know who to vote for next time.
- 1:53 Come along, Jackson.
- 2:06 Nice cozy little nook.
- 2:10 Oh, so that's it, huh?
- 2:12 Mind if I take a look?
- 2:14 I wouldn't advise it.
- 2:16 You're getting soft, Ford.
1101 more segments
- 2:22 Gasp.
- 2:24 Haven't even put in electricity.
- 2:26 Right on here, Judge.
- 2:34 Jackson.
- 2:35 I'm going to grant you a special privilege not often given to a man in your position.
- 2:40 is what you asked for.
- 2:42 A chance to tell the newspapers.
- 2:45 To get it off your chest.
- 2:46 Thanks, Warden.
- 2:49 See you in a while, Jackson.
- 2:51 I'll be right here.
- 2:53 Oh, Mr. Jackson, I think you're wonderful.
- 2:56 You've really got what it takes.
- 2:59 Well, I ain't exactly a cream puff.
- 3:01 Cigarette? Never mind.
- 3:03 Thanks, George. Might be a saw on that one. Oh.
- 3:06 Well, you've got what I call guts.
- 3:08 By the way, I figured...
- 3:10 Anybody got a match? Yeah, I.
- 3:12 The way I figured if a guy feels in his heart he's taking a phony rap.
- 3:17 Well, it's not so tough to kick the bucket.
- 3:20 It's not so tough to walk that last mile.
- 3:22 It's just...
- 3:23 Tough to light a cigarette, that's all.
- 3:28 Say, Jackson.
- 3:29 How'd you get into this mess? Was it out?
- 3:31 Woman.
- 3:32 It's always a woman.
- 3:34 You should have seen this woman.
- 3:36 Skin like smooth satin.
- 3:38 Beautiful blue eyes.
- 3:39 Dark silken hair.
- 3:41 Kind of a gal that make you want to give away your last shirt.
- 3:46 I borrowed this from the warden. This girl, how'd you meet her? Did she come up to your office? Did you fall in love with her? Wait a minute, one at a time.
- 3:52 You may not know this, but I wasn't always a detective.
- 3:55 Before they pinned this murder rap on me, I had one of the sweetest little rackets in San Francisco. A legitimate business? Better than legitimate, it was profitable.
- 4:03 My office was in the Trafalgar building, just on the edge of Chinatown. Oh, in Chinatown. No, not right in. You know California Street from the hill at Stockton? Yeah. Well, coming down the hill on the cable car, you can just see my office. Third floor front.
- 4:19 Ronnie was the name. Ronnie, baby photographer. I'll never forget that day. For two hours, I'd been trying to make that little brat smile. I threw the book at him, every surefire trick of the trade.
- 4:33 *Bzzz*
- 4:49 This kid's going to grow up to be a sponsor.
- 4:52 Even wearing out the lights.
- 4:54 Oh, oh! Quick, snap it!
- 4:59 Watch the birdie. Watch the birdie.
- 5:01 There you are. Another masterpiece. Sweetums, you're wonderful.
- 5:08 You're wonderful too, Mr. Jackson. Well, that's because I was a kid once myself.
- 5:13 - Oh.
- 5:15 I know.
- 5:17 I'm just dying to see those proofs.
- 5:20 When will they be ready?
- 5:22 Or the first thing in the morning, Mrs. Fong. Good. And I'm sure you'll like them.
- 5:25 Well, goodbye, you little rascal, you. You... Oh!
- 5:31 - Hold 'em all! - Give Mr. Jackson back his chair! - Time! Time! Time! - Oh, no! - This is awful! - Oh, oh, oh!
- 5:37 Doesn't he get meat at home? You happy little gourmet.
- 5:42 Sweet, though. Let me see.
- 5:45 Uh-huh.
- 5:46 Baby photographer. A fine job for a two-fisted he-man like Ronnie Jackson. Well, I'd promised to have pictures of the kid ready by morning, so I got to work and developed them. It must have been about 20 minutes later, or a half hour or something like that, when I heard a door slam in the hallway outside. I knew it was Sam McCloud coming back to his office from a busy day pinning the goods on a few assorted crooks and murders. Sam McCloud, the coolest, toughest private eye in the business. You see, I wanted to be a detective, too.
- 6:17 And I had the gun. I'd figured out a way for Sam to hire me, so I started across the hall.
- 6:23 Already I can see my name in big letters. Ronnie Jackson, Private Eye.
- 6:27 What I didn't see was the small print underneath. Rest in peace.
- 6:35 Yeah, well, don't worry your pretty little head about it, baby.
- 6:37 I'm catching a rattler for Shire right now.
- 6:39 Hi, Sam.
- 6:40 Oh, listen, baby, it'll take more than a couple of hopped-up guns with itchy fingers to scare me off.
- 6:46 Yeah.
- 6:47 Yeah?
- 6:48 Left to talk about over some rainy night in front of a nice warm fire.
- 6:52 I'll bring the matches.
- 6:53 About...
- 6:55 What's on your mind, Ronnie?
- 6:57 Matches.
- 6:58 No, I mean look Sam, it came today, license and everything. Now can I be your partner?
- 7:04 I told you before, stick to watching the birdie and you'll die of old age.
- 7:07 Oh yeah, but I was cut off with this kind of life. All my life I wanted to be a hard-boiled detective like Humphrey Bogart or Dick Powell or even Alan Ladd.
- 7:16 You don't have those beautiful women coming into the office and those warm fires on those rainy nights. That's the kind of life I want. How about it, Sam?
- 7:28 Hmm?
- 7:30 Smooth, huh?
- 7:33 Say, I can be a lot of help to you, Sam. Look. Here's my latest invention right here. A camera with a keyhole lens.
- 7:40 Takes pictures right through doors.
- 7:42 I've been kicked out of five hotels already.
- 7:44 Ah!
- 7:46 How about it, Sam?
- 7:47 Can I go to work for you?
- 7:48 Just give me a simple yes or no.
- 7:51 No.
- 7:53 Oh, but that's too simple. Why don't you give it a little thought?
- 7:57 going to Chicago for a few days
- 8:00 I'll leave the door open so you can come through and answer the phone.
- 8:11 Well, Steph...
- 8:17 I could go with you. I've got a coat just like that.
- 8:19 I can help you out quite a bit in case you're running any keyhole work or...
- 8:23 You're sure there's nothing I can do for you?
- 8:26 Yeah, you can keep your nose clean.
- 8:29 I'm going to go.
- 8:30 That's the last chance I'll give him.
- 8:33 Keep my nose clean. Answer the phone.
- 8:37 I ought to go in business for myself.
- 8:40 Ronnie Jackson the private eye.
- 8:43 I could catch those gunned up hopsoles over a warm fire even if it wasn't raining.
- 8:50 Rick as much as he can.
- 8:56 Ha!
- 9:02 Smooth. Ow!
- 9:06 *Squire*
- 9:21 Shh.
- 9:33 I suppose you wonder why I act this way.
- 9:35 Oh no, every girl who comes in here does that.
- 9:40 I need a detective.
- 9:42 Please say that you'll help me.
- 9:43 Yeah, but look, I'm just... I... Please, Mr. McLeod, please.
- 9:47 Yeah.
- 9:48 Just call me Sam.
- 9:50 This is my type of case. Spill it, sister.
- 9:55 My name is Carl Adamonte.
- 9:57 Baroness Montaigne.
- 9:59 Apparently.
- 10:03 I feel as though someone's watching me. Yeah, that's me.
- 10:09 I arrived here three days ago in the Queen of Peru with the Baron, my husband.
- 10:15 - Oh, you've got a husband. - No.
- 10:20 This was taken the day we arrived.
- 10:22 Mmm.
- 10:23 You call him cutting a San Francisco citizen. He must raise.
- 10:26 I'm in trouble.
- 10:27 Deep trouble.
- 10:29 What's the wheelchair for it?
- 10:30 My husband is an invalid.
- 10:31 He hasn't been out of that wheelchair in seven years.
- 10:35 You're in trouble.
- 10:36 Keep talking.
- 10:38 At the dock.
- 10:40 I went ahead to clear our luggage through customs.
- 10:43 I was gone five, ten minutes at the most.
- 10:46 When I returned,
- 10:47 He had disappeared.
- 10:48 A snatch job, huh? Have you gone to the police? No, no, no.
- 10:53 If I go to the police, they'll kill him.
- 10:57 Who's they?
- 10:58 That's what I want you to find out.
- 11:02 Look.
- 11:03 I have no money.
- 11:05 But this ring can be pawned anywhere for at least five thousand dollars.
- 11:10 Look sister five grand is a lot of moolah you don't know anything. I
- 11:15 We Montez are generous.
- 11:17 If you will just find my husband, I will be so grateful.
- 11:21 You will see.
- 11:23 I'll bring the matches.
- 11:25 Oh, but this isn't necessary.
- 11:31 What's the matter?
- 11:32 Listen.
- 11:33 They mustn't find me here.
- 11:36 - Well, I don't hear anything. - Be at this address.
- 11:41 As soon as you can.
- 11:42 Five minutes will be too soon.
- 11:45 I'm going to go.
- 11:55 We're dealing with dangerous men.
- 11:56 Be careful. They mustn't know you're a detective. Don't worry your pretty little head about it, honey. I'll find your husband. Fool that I am. Somebody's coming. Guard this map. With your life. With my life? Hurry.
- 12:26 Oh, it's you, Mabel.
- 12:29 I'm sorry. Here.
- 12:31 There you are.
- 12:33 Come in the studio some night after hours and I'll take your picture.
- 12:36 When everybody's gone. No charge.
- 12:39 Except for the negatives.
- 12:40 Come right in.
- 12:41 Prints are down in half.
- 12:43 Anytime.
- 13:11 Ha!
- 13:12 Well, what are you waiting for? You want to be a detective, don't you?
- 13:17 Let me see what was that address.
- 13:21 Well, the map.
- 13:22 My life.
- 13:35 Smooth.
- 13:47 Small bullets.
- 13:57 The Faye.
- 13:58 You don't have to pull no gun on me to kiss me anytime.
- 14:06 I was on my own. A missing husband in a dark-eyed dreamboat up to her gorgeous lips in trouble.
- 14:11 What a parlay. And oh yeah, that mysterious map. The whole thing just like you'd read it in the detective magazine. I had my car for the address the doll gave me and it turns out this place is practically a sleeper jump from town. Anyway, later that afternoon I'm driving through the gates of one of those upper bracket estates down in the peninsula. Pretty soon I come to another gate. That should have been my cue to put the car in reverse. And then I got a load of the mansion. Boy, what a joint.
- 14:41 heights you know the kind of a house it looks like you can hunt quail in the hallways I didn't know it then but I was gonna be the quail beautiful day isn't it
- 14:57 Fine.
- 14:57 Well, maybe this is so beautiful.
- 15:02 It is day, though.
- 15:05 But it's late.
- 15:07 Sort of?
- 15:09 *whistling*
- 15:15 Allow me.
- 15:22 Oh, Dr. Landa.
- 15:23 Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon, Kismet.
- 15:26 Yes.
- 15:27 Baroness Monte is expecting me.
- 15:31 - Pronto. - Oh, yes. Won't you come in?
- 15:34 Pronto.
- 15:39 Nice cheerful place. What time did they bring the mummies out? Very amusing, sir.
- 15:44 Madame la Baronesse is in her living room.
- 15:46 Shall I announce you?
- 15:47 Never mind, I'll take it from here. May I help you with your open, Cullis?
- 15:52 Okay, pardon me, sir. You're coming. Yeah, I'm roughing it.
- 15:57 Here we are.
- 15:58 Thanks, Cuddles.
- 16:00 Very amusing.
- 16:05 To be beside you
- 16:10 Could I ask for more? Each thrill beside you. Miss Monte? Hello. Pretty song, isn't it? Yeah, it's pretty, but you were so anxious.
- 16:28 I slide beside you through the winter storm.
- 16:40 I'm forever warm I'm not stealing daydreams
- 16:51 It isn't any crime to want to be beside you.
- 17:02 Till there's no more time.
- 17:10 Quick, quick. First I must know this. Are you a man who is afraid of danger? No, you can get as close as you like. Baby, we're in this together, I'm with you to my dying breath. Please, you mustn't. Yeah, better not leave any fingerprints. Listen closely. My uncle.
- 17:27 Barremonte came to this country. Your uncle?
- 17:31 Yeah, but I thought you said the guy was your husband.
- 17:34 Bye-bye.
- 17:36 I had to have your help.
- 17:38 I know men.
- 17:39 Somehow they always seem to be more interested in the problems of young wives with
- 17:44 Older husband.
- 17:45 Oh, no. It just seems that way to you. Please listen. My uncle came to this country on a very important mission.
- 17:54 So important that he wouldn't tell anyone about it.
- 17:56 Not even me.
- 17:57 Your uncle, huh? So he's not your husband.
- 18:00 Well, did I quote you any rates? I may work cheaper, you know. Please.
- 18:03 Not now. Too fast, huh? Okay.
- 18:07 - Bah.
- 18:08 Tell me.
- 18:09 Did your uncle have any enemies?
- 18:11 Not that I know of.
- 18:13 Uh-huh.
- 18:14 And how about this house?
- 18:17 Who lives here?
- 18:18 It belongs to a Major Simon Montague,
- 18:21 He was the former business partner of the Barons.
- 18:24 When my uncle disappeared, I...
- 18:26 I was frantic.
- 18:28 So I called Major Montague and...
- 18:29 He offered to help me.
- 18:31 Mm-hmm.
- 18:32 And what do you know about it?
- 18:33 My uncle trusted him implicitly.
- 18:36 And still...
- 18:38 He treats me like a child.
- 18:40 Tells me not to worry.
- 18:42 Says that he's handling things.
- 18:44 And all the time I...
- 18:46 Feel as though I'm being watched.
- 18:51 And he's been so sweet and kind ever since my arrival. It's getting kind of dark in here, isn't it?
- 18:57 We were just talking about you something flattering now. Oh, maybe I should listen to it. Oh
- 19:04 If there's anything warms my heart it's finding out people like me as much as I like them.
- 19:10 I don't believe I've had the honor, sir. Oh, uh...
- 19:12 Mr. Craig. Oh, hi, Mr. Craig. Glad to see you. I'm... What?
- 19:15 I thought your name was Craig. Yeah, I'm Craig too. That's quite a coincidence. I just made you money you well I met Mr. Craig on shipboard. Oh
- 19:22 Still a little seasick. It's a pleasure knowing you son.
- 19:27 Anything I can do for you while you're in the country...
- 19:35 Craig. Craig.
- 19:37 Now, where have I heard that name before?
- 19:41 Madame.
- 19:42 There's a phone call for you.
- 19:44 Please take the message.
- 19:45 After all, Colada, it may be important.
- 19:49 You're quite right.
- 19:52 Excuse me, Mr. Craig.
- 19:59 All right, sir.
- 20:01 Now we'll quit playing possible. Yeah.
- 20:03 How do you do, Mr. McLeod? Well, how are you?
- 20:07 Oh, Craig is the name. I mean, Craig. I was... I was a shipboard and...
- 20:14 Oh, you know, the...
- 20:15 You're a private detective. Oh, yes. Yes, yes.
- 20:18 Sam just call me Sam.
- 20:20 And just to show you my heart's in the right place...
- 20:23 I'm going to help you do a little detective. Okay.
- 20:26 This way, son.
- 20:27 Coming, Dad.
- 20:29 I may have a little surprise for you.
- 20:34 You pardon us gentlemen? Certainly. This is Mr. McCloud.
- 20:37 Mr. McLeod, I'd like you to meet... The man in the picture, Baron Montaigne. How do you do?
- 20:42 Yeah, but she said you'd been snatched.
- 20:45 You had my word for it, young man.
- 20:47 I'm not a mirage.
- 20:50 Yeah, but she told me she seemed so...
- 20:53 I don't get it.
- 20:54 such a lovely girl the very flower young woman who to
- 20:58 Perhaps, uh, Dr. Lundau can tell you about her. I believe you've met the doctor. Uh...
- 21:06 Oh, yes, we had a long talk outside.
- 21:08 Beautiful day, isn't it?
- 21:10 I said that.
- 21:12 Well, Mr. McCloud...
- 21:13 As you perhaps know, it is not the habit of a psychiatrist to put on display these skeletons in anyone's family closet.
- 21:21 However, I believe you are entitled to an explanation of the strange behavior of Baron Monte's wife.
- 21:27 Wife?
- 21:28 But she just told me she was his niece.
- 21:30 Last week she was his little sister. It is not funny, Major.
- 21:35 For the past six months, Miss Montay has been suffering from an acute form of schizophrenia.
- 21:41 accompanied by visual aberrations and increasingly severe paranoic delusions. Mm-hmm.
- 21:48 And how is she mentally?
- 21:51 A friend, Mr. McLeod, is a Harvard man.
- 21:53 I am not.
- 21:55 Fairmount High.
- 21:57 Cleveland.
- 21:58 Hmm.
- 21:58 Won't you sit here, please?
- 22:03 I'll, um...
- 22:04 I'll try to simplify the case. Oh, well, make it easy on yourself. I handle all these...
- 22:09 Yes.
- 22:12 Miss Montay has an obsession that her own life is in danger.
- 22:15 And she believes that her uncle, the baron here, has been kidnapped.
- 22:19 Well, gee, I...
- 22:21 I mean...
- 22:22 Why don't you bring her in here and show her the bannock?
- 22:24 Yeah? Yeah, that's what I'd do. I'd... I'd...
- 22:31 No, no, señor.
- 22:32 It would be too severe a mental shock.
- 22:35 My idea is to break down her fear with suggestive therapy...
- 22:39 Mmm.
- 22:40 Well, does she snap her cap very often?
- 22:42 I mean, when you invite company for dinner, do you...
- 22:44 Take away your knife and fork.
- 22:46 She's only dangerous if she's emotionally disturbed. You must have come across many similar cases in your business, Mr. McLeod.
- 22:53 Did you?
- 22:53 Oh, me. Oh, sure, sure. I can take those schizos or leave them alone, and usually I leave them alone. I figured that...
- 23:01 Well, I must get back to the office and file some fingernails, I mean fingerprints.
- 23:05 See you then.
- 23:07 You know...
- 23:08 my heart goes out to that cool unfortunate girl
- 23:12 Her mind is all mixed up.
- 23:14 It's downright pitiful.
- 23:16 I suppose she even said something about a map, huh? Map? Map?
- 23:20 yes even getting one to hold for
- 23:22 Mysterious map missing uncle.
- 23:25 Pretty corny.
- 23:26 You know, there was something about the way she looked that made me suspicious.
- 23:30 But the way she looked, I didn't care.
- 23:31 But you kept the map.
- 23:33 Oh, sure.
- 23:34 Why not?
- 23:35 She may not have it up here, but...
- 23:37 Habba habba.
- 23:40 Thank you, Kisnick.
- 23:42 Now you watch yourself, son.
- 23:46 Oh, come in, Collada, dear.
- 23:49 Nutty as a fruitcake, and with all that beautiful frosting.
- 23:53 Yes.
- 23:54 I was just saying to your friend, Mr. Craig, at any time he's in the neighborhood, he should feel free to drop in and have a julep with us.
- 23:59 that that that you all excuse me a whole don't go major you know the old saying three's company to the crowd
- 24:05 You take care of yourself son. Yeah.
- 24:09 Well?
- 24:10 Here we are, alone at last.
- 24:14 Do you know who that phone call was from?
- 24:16 Napoleon?
- 24:20 Uh-uh, her schizo is about to frighten you.
- 24:24 Why did I get up today?
- 24:28 I just spoke to my uncle. That's funny. So did I.
- 24:32 Who?
- 24:33 My uncle, Baron Monte.
- 24:36 He told me not to worry.
- 24:38 But I'm terribly disturbed.
- 24:41 Emotionally?
- 24:42 Yes.
- 24:44 He said he was safe.
- 24:46 Oh, he's safe, all right.
- 24:49 I mean, he's safe all right. But he's not safe.
- 24:51 I know he is. No. No. He's a terrible spot.
- 24:55 But I feel he's in great danger.
- 24:57 Yes, yes, he's in great danger. Yeah, but he's safe, all right.
- 25:02 He's safe.
- 25:03 Sound like an umpire.
- 25:05 Don't you see...
- 25:07 Someone forced him to make that call.
- 25:10 Someone who wants me to believe that nothing is wrong.
- 25:14 Oh, Mr. McCloud. I don't know what to do. I'm at my wit's end. I passed there an hour ago. What's the matter with you? Oh, me?
- 25:23 Here, sister.
- 25:24 You better take the ring back.
- 25:26 But...
- 25:29 But Mr. MacLeod...
- 25:31 Sam!
- 25:32 You wouldn't desert me.
- 25:34 Not now. No, no. I just remembered I got a date with J. Edgar Hoover. Kid never makes a move without me. But Sam, you said we were in this thing together. You said you'd stick with me to your dying breath. And I'm getting too close to it.
- 25:47 Now, don't get upset, Miss Monte.
- 25:49 You just listen to the Major.
- 25:50 He's a very fine man and he.
- 25:53 He likes you.
- 25:54 Oh.
- 25:55 So they've been talking to you.
- 25:57 They've been telling you things. Oh, you're crazy. I mean...
- 26:00 You're being silly.
- 26:01 Nobody's been talking to me.
- 26:02 I haven't even been talking to myself.
- 26:04 Oh, yes, they have.
- 26:06 They told you something.
- 26:07 And you'll believe him. Oh, no. No, I'm...
- 26:09 I'm on your side.
- 26:11 Oh.
- 26:13 So now I know who's at the bottom of all this.
- 26:16 Major Simon Montague! Oh...
- 26:19 No, no.
- 26:19 We're in this together, baby. We're... Please don't believe in Sam. Huh? Huh?
- 26:23 Please, say you'll help me.
- 26:25 Please.
- 26:26 Please, baby.
- 26:28 Do it, Mama.
- 26:33 Mama knows best.
- 26:36 Darling,
- 26:37 Promise me you'll guard the map with your life.
- 26:39 Yeah, the map.
- 26:41 Map.
- 26:44 The map.
- 26:45 Here, let me take this.
- 26:47 Oh, you can open the mailman later.
- 26:51 Gee, gee!
- 26:52 Well, six o'clock already. Well, I... Well, so long.
- 26:58 For my car, when I realized me and my gad had parted company, holster and all, I figured little Miss Screwball must have lifted it when she kissed me.
- 27:06 I started to go back for it, but I changed my mind.
- 27:09 I spot a high window around the corner of the house
- 27:11 and decide to climb up and take a gander. I figure the only way to get the inside dope is from the outside.
- 27:17 Dope.
- 27:18 So I scamber up the hill in about three jumps like any other goat and take a sneak peek. And what do you know? The guy who told me he couldn't walk is out of his wheelchair and sashaying around chipper as a jaybird. Then I knew Carlotta wasn't nuts. I get out my brownie and I'm all set to snap exhibit A when Laughing Boy gets out of his chair and starts for the window. I figure he sees me.
- 27:39 But no.
- 27:40 He pulls up the shade right in my kisser, like it was ladies night in a Turkish bath. I'm stymied, but only for a second. The keyhole. Here's where my gadget pays off. The greatest invention since the Albany nightboat. This'll do it, I says. Next stop, Rogue's Gallery.
- 27:58 Bertie, quick!
- 28:01 Oh, Carlotta, quick! What am I saying?
- 28:07 Uh-huh.
- 28:09 He saw the Baron. He took a picture. A picture. Camera for. I take the hide off. Yeah, right. There he goes.
- 28:18 More. Close the gates. Close the gates.
- 28:34 Step on it, Tom. Step on it.
- 28:57 Come, take this shortcut. Hang on.
- 29:04 Too fast for him. Hot rod.
- 29:28 Lost him. Must have taken the other road. Turn around.
- 29:42 Hey, you big road hog, why do you... Oh! Oh!
- 30:04 Oh, my God.
- 30:34 I'm going to show how many this is Joe. How many this is Joe. How many this. Joe what a man he must be. I'm waiting for you. I must remember this address.
- 31:04 That'll cool you off, Joe. Oh.
- 31:24 Aha!
- 31:25 Didn't think you'd do it after that bath we had.
- 31:28 You, darling, you.
- 31:30 We both came through like men.
- 31:45 Well, hello, operator. Get me to state police.
- 31:48 Yeah, hang on.
- 31:57 and
- 32:00 I'm going to go.
- 32:04 Plenty rugged.
- 32:05 Smooth, though.
- 32:11 Cuddles, huh?
- 32:16 Operator?
- 32:18 Operator, never mind that call.
- 32:37 Very thoughtful of you to include the negative.
- 32:40 When I came to, I was playing post office with the floor. I had a lump on my head the size of my head. Inside, Toscanini was conducting the anvil course with real blacksmiths. I looked at the bottle of old Piledriver and decided to stick the double mulls.
- 33:02 And those kids with the hammer started pounding again. But the thumping wasn't in my head. It was somebody knocking on the door.
- 33:10 door it was my door my door in the other room. Oh it's you. Yes here I am Mr. Jackson. My head. How did they come out.
- 33:22 Yanks for Cleveland seven. Now, Mr. Jackson, a man of your responsibility shouldn't drink.
- 33:27 Well, who's drinking? I...
- 33:29 Oh, that's a bottle of bean bopper.
- 33:31 I want my baby picture.
- 33:35 Picture?
- 33:36 Oh! Wait a minute! Where are you going? Just a second. Mr. Jackson! Wait! Mr. Jackson! Aha!
- 33:44 They got it.
- 33:45 It's gone. It's gone. Let me see.
- 33:47 I had it here and I took it in there. Oh, this would have to happen to Sweden. No, no, look, Mrs. Fong, it's not your baby's picture. Here's the negative of that. Have it, have it to be, I'll print it someplace else, please. Yeah, I'm out of business now. I'm retired. Remember that if you have another baby, please.
- 34:02 Quiet, I'm thinking. Boy, I've got things to do.
- 34:06 Yes, sir, important things to do.
- 34:10 What have I got to do? I...
- 34:12 Carlotta!
- 34:22 Hey, there he is. That's the fella. Get him.
- 34:25 watch him he's one of the game all right what you do with a bear and come clean you got the we mean business
- 34:31 Don't we, fellas?
- 34:32 I'll pay you pawns.
- 34:34 What's going on here? Don't try to look so innocent with those blue-point eyes.
- 34:37 Watch him, he's got a knife.
- 34:39 Have you got a night?
- 34:40 Sure I've got a knife.
- 34:41 I'm the gardener.
- 34:42 What did you think I was last night at Chris Hathamum?
- 34:45 He tried to prune me. Hold it, bud.
- 34:47 Is there anyone living here by the name of, uh... Paladamante.
- 34:50 Who is Carlotta Montaigne?
- 34:52 You know who she is. She's staying here with Major Montague.
- 34:55 Who is Major Montague? Look, this house belongs to the George Crandles. They've been in South America for four months. Six months? Yeah, then he's subletting.
- 35:03 You mind if we take a look inside? No, please come along.
- 35:06 Pardon me?
- 35:09 This one I'll show you they're probably all hiding in here stick with me. Oh
- 35:14 Hey.
- 35:16 Hey, what's this?
- 35:18 Looks like nobody home.
- 35:19 Nothing personal about that, I hope. What do you think, Sarge? I think a rebuke is in order. Oh, now, wait a minute. Don't get your badges in an uproar. You got this all wrong.
- 35:27 They fixed my car, they fixed the gate, they fixed everything!
- 35:29 That's their racket. They're trying to make people think everybody's crazy. Yeah, but with you, they had a head start. Oh, now, wait a minute. You've got to listen to me. You've got to trust me, fellas. This is the biggest frame-up since Whistler's mother. All right. Thank you. Wait a minute.
- 35:42 Keep moving. You got a long drive back to town. Yeah, well, let me tell you something.
- 35:46 What?
- 35:47 I like long drives.
- 35:49 yet though. Okay. If your father is again I'll personally punch you in the nose so hard it'll look like other people's notes.
- 35:55 Yeah, well, it might be worth it.
- 36:00 I have a father to you. You're not a bad guy for a former. But I'm going to be a citizen. I'm studying for my examination. By the way could you gentlemen tell me.
- 36:09 Who was the eighth president of the United States?
- 36:15 So long, bud.
- 36:29 It's coming around to the back.
- 36:30 Well, you know what to do. Sure I know what to do. Not that, you fool.
- 36:36 Why did he come back?
- 36:37 Why does he want to search the house? He's looking for clues. Clues, huh? He wants a clue to Carlotta's whereabouts. See that he finds one. This one.
- 37:09 It always looks so easy in those Tarzan pictures.
- 37:56 Hmm.
- 37:57 Oh.
- 38:43 Come on.
- 38:58 Aha.
- 39:06 Eureka. Her ring.
- 39:11 Seacliff Lodge.
- 39:13 So that's where she is.
- 39:16 Oh. I believe a clue.
- 39:28 Here. Here.
- 39:40 Well, I knew where the doll's my next move is to find her. So I get back into my hot rod special and start out. About an hour later, I spot a sign: "Sea Cliff Lodge." So, I go in to locate the girl, pretending I'm just another guest looking for a little quiet relaxation.
- 39:56 The place is just what I figured. A ritzy summer is
- 40:00 complete with golf course.
- 40:06 Hey, pardon me.
- 40:07 How do you get to the lodge from here?
- 40:08 The lodge? That's where I live.
- 40:11 Straight ahead, you can't miss it.
- 40:12 Oh.
- 40:13 Hey, pardon me.
- 40:15 Did you notice if a good looking dark hair girl checked in there last night?
- 40:19 Can't talk.
- 40:23 Care to play these last three holds? It'll take you right there.
- 40:27 Okay, but how about my car? They'll send for it. Oh
- 40:31 Crawford's the name. Oliver J. Crawford.
- 40:34 Well, mine's a smithers.
- 40:37 Night iron?
- 40:38 Care to shoot first?
- 40:39 Okay.
- 40:41 This girl last night, did you notice that she was alone?
- 40:44 Care to make a small wager?
- 40:47 Dollar hole? All right.
- 40:49 Did you notice that she had her...
- 40:50 Now you're the full nine.
- 40:52 There's water down there.
- 40:54 Okay.
- 41:09 Missed it. A cop must have moved on me.
- 41:12 Oh, I feel like a pretty good round today myself. You do?
- 41:23 Yes.
- 41:24 Oh.
- 41:27 Lucky I got over those traps.
- 41:29 I didn't see it.
- 41:36 Right in the cup.
- 41:47 I'll concede that. Thanks.
- 41:53 For a minute there, I didn't think you had a ball. Tough luck, old boy.
- 41:57 You're one down.
- 42:04 Yeah.
- 42:06 Where's your ball?
- 42:07 Right here.
- 42:10 Nice line.
- 42:15 Right on the green.
- 42:17 Yeah, I can't even see the green. I can. Oh, say, Smithers. Huh? How about that buck you owe me? I owe you?
- 42:22 Dollar a hole. Uh-huh.
- 42:25 Nice racket you got.
- 42:27 George Washington. Where? He's staying here, you know. Oh. Got the room next to mine. Uh-huh. Keeps me up all night long playing Yankee Doodle on his fife off-key.
- 42:40 Why don't you tell Petrillo about it?
- 42:44 Hey, you hurry up! Quick, grab them! There they go!
- 42:47 Well, I'm looking for you, chummy.
- 42:49 we gonna see that doctor doctor
- 42:53 Sanitarium. You got me wrong. I'm not crazy. I know.
- 42:57 I know.
- 42:58 Maybe you'd like some walnuts, huh? Walnuts? Why don't you grab those nuts, there's strudel in the noodle. Oh, I want you. Yeah, but I'm okay. I'm sane. I'll prove it to you.
- 43:07 Watch this coordination.
- 43:11 It's the wrong hand. It's...
- 43:15 I'm not.
- 43:16 Well, I'll practice a little and see you later. Come on. Easy, that's my pinball hand. We're going to see the doctor. It's no use, but I'm not going with you. Oh, let's see the doctor.
- 43:26 Doctor!
- 43:28 - No! - No!
- 43:29 Watch out or we'll never get that down again.
- 43:32 But I...
- 43:33 Oh, that's better. That's...
- 43:35 There's a park missing.
- 43:39 A thing like this could be permanent, you...
- 43:42 Oh.
- 43:43 Cuddles.
- 43:44 Hello.
- 43:46 Do they have bellhops here?
- 43:47 Welcome to Sea Cliff, Bart. - Yeah, but... Calisthenics? - Oh, hey.
- 43:52 Oh, steady. It's a match.
- 43:54 Where's the map?
- 43:56 You didn't bring it with you. That's very bad. Look, I didn't expect to see you. Get me out of this angle. Get me out of this angle.
- 44:02 Very bad trying to choke somebody.
- 44:05 Look...
- 44:06 I don't know what's going on here. And I'm not scared, see?
- 44:09 You got company, ma'am.
- 44:11 Carlotta!
- 44:12 Sam.
- 44:14 Oh Sam I'm sorry. Oh that's all right baby. Oh why did I have to go and do this now I got you in this mess too.
- 44:21 - Oh.
- 44:22 Oh, it's--
- 44:23 Oh, now, wait a minute. Don't go feminine on me.
- 44:26 All right. Don't go masculine, either.
- 44:28 Where?
- 44:34 Oh, I didn't know this was going to be formal.
- 44:36 Oh, I'll be right with you, boss.
- 44:40 Move ahead and sit down, son.
- 44:42 you were not gonna have little talk yeah I'll do the talk and you do the set
- 44:46 I'll do the talking.
- 44:51 I'll do the sentence.
- 44:53 The map is met.
- 44:54 Didn't have it on him, Salmon.
- 44:55 No?
- 44:56 Hmm.
- 44:58 That kind of changes things, don't it?
- 44:59 Yes, it does change things. Say 'em, boy!
- 45:02 Recently.
- 45:03 I offered to buy from Baron Monte the mineral rights of a section of his land.
- 45:08 Unfortunately, the Baron turned my offer down.
- 45:11 He came to this country to make a deal with somebody else.
- 45:15 who is this someone else and what kind of mineral rights
- 45:18 You're getting too inquisitive, son, and that ain't healthy.
- 45:21 now uh...
- 45:22 Maybe little Carlotta here is beginning to see the light.
- 45:26 You know, I'm very fond of you, Carlotta. And I don't like to see you holding out on me. Lay off of her, you phony...
- 45:34 You all...
- 45:35 It's a good thing you're here. I'd be brutal.
- 45:40 Carta.
- 45:41 Uncle Stafford.
- 45:43 Are you all right? Yes, child.
- 45:46 They haven't harmed me.
- 45:47 Hey, is that your uncle?
- 45:49 He looks just like the guy in the picture I took.
- 45:51 He should have held on to it, son.
- 45:53 That picture might have spoiled everything for us.
- 45:56 Light, please, Carlotta.
- 45:58 Oh, Simon, if you don't mind, I...
- 46:00 I'd like to acquaint the Baron with a few basic facts.
- 46:04 Here, Mr. Baron.
- 46:05 We have you.
- 46:07 We have your niece.
- 46:09 And, uh...
- 46:10 Having Mr. McCloud...
- 46:13 We have to map.
- 46:14 Not yet, you haven't.
- 46:16 Yes, but...
- 46:18 before the chrysanthemum blooms.
- 46:21 We will have it.
- 46:23 Please put this away, yes?
- 46:27 Come here, Willie.
- 46:29 Let's stop fooling around, son.
- 46:31 I want that map, and I want it now.
- 46:33 What you want and what you're gonna get are two different things. I'm not the given kind. No. You're not...
- 46:37 Oh!
- 46:40 I... Oh!
- 46:43 Oh, temper, kismet temper. Don't be so rough with Sam. He can take it. The poor boy sees. He don't know what's going on.
- 46:53 Oh, oh, I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to get so fresh. I... I...
- 47:01 Oh, it's you?
- 47:02 Oh!
- 47:03 Now.
- 47:05 Where's the map, son? Oh, is that what you want?
- 47:08 Well, why didn't you say so?
- 47:09 You don't have to get it the hard way. Sam, don't. Oh, what's the use? They'll beat it out of us anyway. We might as well tell them.
- 47:15 Go on, chummy. You tell him. All right. I hid the map in a water cooler in my office. Oh, he's lying. I've searched his office. No, you looked in the wrong water cooler. The one I mean is in... Stan.
- 47:26 We might as well tell them the truth.
- 47:29 You'll find the map in a water cooler.
- 47:32 It's a ferry building.
- 47:34 Yeah.
- 47:35 Yeah, in the ferry building.
- 47:37 In the water cooler by the newsstand.
- 47:40 Third cup from the top.
- 47:42 We'll find out.
- 47:43 Tony, it should take you about three hours to get to that ferry building in Barnett.
- 47:47 Keep going, son.
- 47:49 Doctor?
- 47:51 Better register them as patients.
- 47:53 In case they should happen to meet with an accident...
- 47:57 Usual papers will be filled out.
- 47:59 You see, if Tony doesn't happen to find that man...
- 48:26 James Collins.
- 48:35 Sam.
- 48:37 Sam, can you hear me?
- 48:42 What's up, baby? That cigarette you saw me take from my uncle. There was a message in it from him. We've two hours to get out of here. Oh, we've got nothing to worry about.
- 48:52 Until Tony gets back.
- 48:54 You know, they took all my clothes. Mine too. They did? Well, they did, huh?
- 49:00 Say, have you got a hairpin?
- 49:01 Sam, this is no time to be thinking about your looks. Here. Oh, good.
- 49:10 Say, how'd you know about that cigarette? My uncle never smokes. So, when he asked me for a light, I... He wants us to get in touch with the James Collins, Engineering Facts Corporation. Uh-huh. I've seen this done a thousand times. Who is this James Collins? I don't know. But we've got to find him.
- 49:31 It's always so simple. Just put the hairpin in the lock, give it a quick twist and... Well, come on in. Get up, we can play Jack Slater. Come on.
- 49:42 Uh-oh.
- 49:45 Quick, vanished. Quick.
- 49:54 Oh, it's you!
- 49:56 Okay, take me away.
- 49:58 uh... i'd run you some grub
- 50:00 I fixed it all myself. Oh, I haven't got much of an appetite. If I could take a long walk. Oh, them there guys wouldn't let you. You know, Jimmy, I like you. Yeah, well, you got a funny way of showing it.
- 50:13 i'm still trying to get the car puzzles to move back in on story
- 50:19 You just don't know your own strength.
- 50:24 You know, Willie?
- 50:25 I like you too.
- 50:27 You do? Yes, sir. What a physique.
- 50:31 Boulder dam with legs and look at those shoulders and that arm.
- 50:35 Like a sack of doorknobs. Recess, recess, recess. I'm just kidding. Hey, chummy, do you care if I feel your muscle, too? No, go ahead.
- 50:49 Look around, it's there someplace.
- 50:52 Oh, there it is. That's it.
- 50:55 It's just like a woman. Yeah.
- 50:58 Easy, easy, easy. Everything you touch turns to rigor mortis.
- 51:03 You know, Willie.
- 51:05 With your strength, I bet you could take that radiator and just pull it out by the roots and play it like an accordion, huh? Wouldn't that be fun? Or you could even take those bars and just bend them apart, huh?
- 51:15 Oh, I don't like to brag. Oh, well, go ahead and brag.
- 51:19 All right.
- 51:28 Oh, that's great, Willie. Gee, you're strong. You what I should...
- 51:34 They're not the ready. I don't know. That's okay. Oh, you've done enough.
- 51:37 You're wonderful, babe.

- 51:40 You're great.
- 51:41 I'll buy you rabbit leaf.
- 51:43 Thanks very much. I'll be seeing you, Tommy.
- 51:46 That's my face.
- 52:01 Mm-hmm.
- 52:02 No.
- 52:05 He's got to be neat, you know. Yeah.
- 52:10 Yeah, I...
- 52:17 - But...
- 52:20 Hmm.
- 52:22 Willie!
- 52:26 Did you hear that? - Yes.
- 52:29 Big detective outsmarted by an imbecile.
- 52:32 We've got to get out of here.
- 52:34 In two hours? Oh. Yeah, we're caught like rats in a trap.
- 52:39 Well, at least for a boy rat and a girl rat.
- 52:48 Huh?
- 52:50 I
- 52:53 Here's your dinner.
- 52:55 Thank you. All right. No use struggling.
- 53:01 Ah!
- 53:06 See, I told you there was no use struggling.
- 53:09 Come on. No, get the keys. Huh?
- 53:12 I'll be your nurse patient.
- 53:14 - Oh, great! - Here's where I get some new clothes.
- 53:19 We better split up when we get downstairs and meet me in my car.
- 53:22 You can't miss it. It's a great convertible job of the horn that goes that, that, that, that. It's a conservative model.
- 53:27 Yes, but suppose they took the keys.
- 53:29 Don't need him.
- 53:30 There's a trick you can do with the wires.
- 53:32 Shh.
- 53:39 Shh.
- 53:43 - Somebody's coming. - Act like a nurse. - Act like a patient. - Yeah.
- 53:50 Ha!
- 53:51 There, there. - Seeker. - Poor nurse.
- 53:55 - Be no Barbasol. - It's a triplicate in the third, too.
- 53:58 Dee-doo. I think I do this too well. Come on. Wait a minute. Wait. Let's see what's in here. Yeah.
- 54:09 There's nothing here but this mangy old piece of moth bait. - It's mine. - Yours? It's pretty, isn't it?
- 54:13 We can't use this. Come on.
- 54:17 When we get to the door, we'll make a break for it.
- 54:21 Hiya stranger. Oh, I
- 54:23 Shh.

- 54:27 Going around to the pretty nurse, I see. You'll be getting out of here in no time. See you. Yeah.
- 54:33 He's one of us.
- 54:38 How many branches does our government consist of?
- 54:41 Our government consists of three branches.
- 54:46 What are the three branches of our government?
- 54:52 The three branches of our government are...
- 54:56 The legislative, the executive and the judicial.
- 55:00 Oh. What does the legislative...
- 55:05 branch of our government do
- 55:07 Hmm? Huh?
- 55:11 It makes the loss.
- 55:14 What does the executive branch of our government do? It carries out the law.
- 55:20 Sneaking out stranger? Oh, oh, oh. Oh, it's you. Oh, oh, no. Oh, practicing again. Oh, why don't you leave me? How delightful. Oh, wonderful. Oh, wait a minute. Take it easy, Cuddles. Cuddles, huh?
- 55:39 Look, I was... I was... Marvelous! Come here, you coward. Look, you can get in trouble if you... Why, you dirty rat!
- 55:51 Oh, nothing personal.
- 55:55 - What's that? - Come here. Where are you? Hey, where? Where?
- 56:01 - You... - Temper! - I have you! You... Why, you stupid... - Pardon me, you... - You... - You... Marverite! You... Broodice! Come on, let's...
- 56:12 Hey, boy, you go that way. Hey, I don't see him.
- 56:22 Stand out, Willie. Let's search the woods. Stand out.
- 56:29 Yes.
- 56:31 Ha!
- 56:32 - Friend. - Oh.
- 56:35 How'd you get rid of them? You just couldn't stand the details, baby.
- 56:38 I just hope I didn't slug him too hard.
- 56:42 It's a good thing we're downhill.
- 56:44 I'll release the brake.
- 56:50 What are you doing now? I'll show you that trick with the wires. You don't need a key.
- 56:54 It's great.
- 57:11 What a time to hit the jackpot.
- 57:26 You do better with your knife. Shut up.
- 57:31 What happened?
- 57:32 Hey, I'm driving.
- 57:34 I'll take it through here, it gets a little rough.
- 57:40 As soon as we get to the city,
- 57:41 We'll call Mr. Collins.
- 57:43 Or better yet, we'll go to your office and get the map, and then we'll go... Hold it, hold it.
- 57:46 What's the matter? I got news for you, Miss Monte.
- 57:49 I'm bowing out.
- 57:51 Sam, you can't. I'm forcing myself.
- 57:53 This kind of life is too rich for my blood.
- 57:56 Little I got left.
- 57:57 I'll get to the map and then we'll call it quits.
- 57:59 Tell me, Mr. McLeod, are you always afraid of old men with phony southern accents? Wait a minute. What do I owe you?
- 58:06 All I know is you came into my office with a phony story and a ring and
- 58:09 Now I ain't got the ring and I'm stuck with the story.
- 58:13 Put this top up.
- 58:15 It's going to rain. It never rains at this time of the year.
- 58:23 Orange juice.
- 58:25 There you are.
- 58:26 Ronnie Jackson photographer for baby. Yeah, that's me.
- 58:30 Well...
- 58:31 Where's Sam McCloud? He's out of town, which is a tough break for all of us, except him. So you've been playing, detective. Yeah, and I'm through playing, sister. Come on.
- 58:39 The last 24 hours I've been knocked out, shot at, beaten up, knocked out again and put through the ringer.
- 58:44 And if I'm still alive, it's only because the insurance company doesn't want to give up.
- 58:48 They're afraid it would break them.
- 58:51 Here.
- 58:52 Here's your map, Miss Monte.
- 58:54 Right water cooler but the wrong office.
- 58:59 All right.
- 59:00 Goodbye, Sam.
- 59:01 I mean...
- 59:03 Mr. Jackson.
- 59:07 And I don't mean see you later.
- 59:10 So long sister.
- 59:18 Oh!
- 59:24 Wait a minute, you can't go out like that. You're soaked to the skin. I'll manage. Oh, steady.
- 59:31 Why do women always act like women? Here, here are a few things.
- 59:35 Whose things? Mine. Pick out what you need. The ones with the laces are still at the laundry. May I change? No, it's my room. Over here, behind the screen. You're not a detective, you act like one. Well, I ain't exactly a cream puff, sister. Guy could use water wings in this business. Oh, Ronnie. Yeah? I just...
- 1:00:00 I just wanted you to know, I'm not really angry with you. Why not? I'm very grateful for all you've done for me. Even if you were Sam McLeod, you couldn't have accomplished more. Look, don't red apple me.
- 1:00:14 From now on, I'm going to stick to watch the birdie.
- 1:00:17 Leave the chicks alone.
- 1:00:18 Ronnie?
- 1:00:21 I think you're a very brave man. I know a sniveling card when I see one.
- 1:00:27 Hiya, Snip.
- 1:00:29 But I have no one else to turn to. Won't you help me? No.
- 1:00:34 Please oh no you don't what kind of a sucker do you take me for oh?
- 1:00:39 Just because you're a girl and I'm a boy and you're...
- 1:00:42 Throwing those big blue eyes at me and...
- 1:00:44 You let me put my arms around you, and you let me hold you close...
- 1:00:48 Even closer.
- 1:00:49 You think you can get me to do anything you want?
- 1:00:55 What do you want, baby? Darling...
- 1:00:58 The first thing we've got to do...
- 1:01:00 We're doing it.
- 1:01:02 We've got to find James Collins.
- 1:01:05 Collins. Yeah. No, no, we got to get out of here. This is the first place those characters to look. I don't want that cuddles playing mumbly peg on my throat. Take those off. What? I mean, put this on. Oh, no, I better roll with you that first. Where's my hat?
- 1:01:27 - Paul, it's you, Mrs. Small. - Mr. Jackson, stop pushing me. I'm sorry.
- 1:01:31 - Hurry! - Mr. Jackson, I'm very disappointed in you. - Yeah, I know. - You take a picture of Sonny crying for the first time in his life.
- 1:01:37 And then you gave me the wrong... Yeah, well, don't worry about a thing, Mrs. Fong. I'll give you your money back.
- 1:01:41 - Hurry. - But I don't want my money back. I want a picture of Sonny smiling for the first time in his life. - Yeah, I know.
- 1:01:48 Here they come! Hurry! Hurry up!
- 1:01:51 Come on, let's go while we're still here.
- 1:01:55 Don't worry about it. I'll send you a check.
- 1:01:59 But you gave me the wrong negative.
- 1:02:12 Our next move is to contact Mr. James Collins. His secretary said he had a date that night at a spot called the Pule Dor. From here in, we had no worries.
- 1:02:21 Montague and his cute little playmates, they were washed up, through, lost in the shuffle. Well, Poulet d'Or was our next stop, but we didn't look exactly like cafe society, so I blew the bankroll. A rented tuxedo for myself and an evening gown for Carlotta. Boy, did she stack up.
- 1:02:38 I guess you only get out of a thing what you put into it an hour later. We were at the pull a door one of those real swanky cafes where they make for breakfast
- 1:02:51 Just a moment White who has been waiting mr. Collins's table. He's expecting us
- 1:02:59 Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Collins. He's right there by the window.
- 1:03:05 Oh, yes. Yes, there he is. Hey, George. This way, please. Ah, just a minute, bud. Look, here's a fin. Tell that blonde at that table over there she's wanted on the phone.
- 1:03:17 Pronto? Certainly, sir. Let's move in.
- 1:03:22 Pardon me, sir. You're wanted on the telephone, miss. If you'll excuse me.
- 1:03:28 Oh, Mr. Collins?
- 1:03:29 We'd like to speak to you for a minute.
- 1:03:31 I don't believe I've had this. Sit down. Start talking, baby. My name is Carl Audemonte. My uncle is Baron Monte. Baron Monte. I don't think I've ever... My uncle told us to get in touch with you.
- 1:03:46 I'm sorry I think you have the wrong man. Wait up. That's it. This map mean anything to you.
- 1:04:05 Where is the Baron? Henry! The waiter said you had a phone call for me. I will check it for you, madam. The Baron had an important appointment this Wednesday afternoon in Washington.
- 1:04:17 Washington in his office at the pilgrim hotel pilgrim hotel someone must keep that appointment someone will but it won't be the right Baron Montaigne right?
- 1:04:25 Our first move is to get the local police. That's it. No, you stay here, Mr. Montey. Yeah, you stay here. These men are killers. Yeah, then I'll stay here, too. Oh, come on. Okay. If we're not back in 45 minutes, call the police. All of them. Check. The 10-sync police stations are closest. Good. We'll call from there. But the sooner we get this into the hands of the FBI, the better.
- 1:04:47 FBI?
- 1:04:49 Baron Monte's appointment in Washington Wednesday was with the State Department. Boy, this thing is dynamite.
- 1:04:56 Look, Mr. Collins, just how do you figure in this deal?
- 1:04:59 I'm a geologist.
- 1:05:00 I work with Baramonte in San Pimus. In fact, I drew up this map for him.
- 1:05:04 It shows the location of a great deposit of cryolite
- 1:05:08 - I don't see anything. - It's in code.
- 1:05:10 Oh.
- 1:05:11 Yesterday morning I got a phone call. A voice exactly like Baron Montaise. Whoever it was said,
- 1:05:16 that there had been a change in plans
- 1:05:18 that the land was no longer for sale. Do you realize what that means? Well, not exactly.
- 1:05:22 It means that somebody, some other government perhaps is after that cryolite.
- 1:05:25 Mm-hmm.
- 1:05:30 cryolite, huh? Well, we can't let them get it.
- 1:05:34 What's quiet like?
- 1:05:35 product to know containing crypto bar crypto borrow all we can't let him get that
- 1:05:42 What's Cryptobar?
- 1:05:43 a source of uranium.
- 1:05:45 Man, what? Uranium! Oh, well, now I got you. I read Buck Rogers, too, you know. Uranium!
- 1:05:56 Must be that right front.
- 1:05:57 Come on.
- 1:06:00 You know, I had a hunch this thing was much bigger than it looked.
- 1:06:07 That's funny, it's okay.
- 1:06:10 Come on.
- 1:06:14 Hey.
- 1:06:19 Hey, mr. Collins we're here. Oh
- 1:06:22 Mr. Collins!
- 1:06:25 Mr... What's...
- 1:06:25 What? What?
- 1:06:27 And an A-minus red.
- 1:06:28 Oh.
- 1:06:29 Keep, keep cool, Ron. Ronnie, keep cool. The murder weapon. Yeah. Pardon me.
- 1:06:35 Find the owner of this gun and you got the killer. Yeah.
- 1:06:38 - That's mine. - Yeah, my...
- 1:06:40 My gun. My gun. Oh. That's got my fingerprints out of it. My gun. Shh. Shh.
- 1:06:47 I don't care if she has got a girlfriend. I'm going home and hit the hay.
- 1:06:51 I just don't go for any blind dates. I'd rather be caught dead.
- 1:06:54 I'd rather be caught...
- 1:06:56 Okay, call her up. Call her up, which...
- 1:07:01 *crickets*
- 1:07:06 Hey, you.
- 1:07:08 Who, me?
- 1:07:10 you don't expect to get away with this to you but i said i didn't do what i didn't do it
- 1:07:14 Of course you didn't do it.
- 1:07:15 this fire hydrant just made up on you
- 1:07:19 Hold that. Let me see your driver's license.
- 1:07:22 You got your all off so this is my car.
- 1:07:25 Oh, it isn't, huh? No, I don't drive. I drink a lot. I get nosebleeds. And what are you doing here? Well, I was just cleaning. Trying to roll that drunk, huh? Oh, no, I wouldn't think of it. How far could I roll it?
- 1:07:35 Besides, some of my best friends are drunks.
- 1:07:37 Hi.
- 1:07:38 I was just...
- 1:07:39 Well, I've got to go now. It's been fun.
- 1:07:41 Too fast, it looks suspicious.
- 1:07:43 So long.
- 1:07:44 It's been fun.
- 1:07:45 Stop saying that.
- 1:07:47 What?
- 1:07:47 Goodbye now, I...
- 1:07:48 I gotta run now.
- 1:07:51 Sorry to pile up.
- 1:07:53 Hey.
- 1:07:57 Hey, stop or I'll shoot!
- 1:07:58 BANG! BANG!
- 1:08:12 Well, that takes care of him.
- 1:08:14 He's a real help to us, that boy. What about the girl?
- 1:08:17 Carlotta's no problem.
- 1:08:19 We have the map.
- 1:08:20 told Carlotta they'd rubbed out Collins it was quite a blow but the kid bounced back like a rubber ball a nice soft rubber ball too bad I wasn't in the mood to play catch I was in for keeps now Ronnie Jackson wanted for murder well if we were going to save the doll's uncle and Mrs. Jackson's boy Ronnie we had to get something on that gang that meant our next stop had to be Washington but we needed dough to get there and little Carlotta came through
- 1:08:50 plane headed east, and by midnight we were playing tag with the Rockies. Carlotta was very sweet. She looked after me like a mother. I guess she wanted to make sure I didn't get away. And for a disguise, I was wearing a ten o'clock shadow. I had to play cagey. The only thing that bothered me was the altitude. I knew it would get me. I get airsick when I step on a thick carpet. We hit Washington about noon the next day, and we grabbed a cab for the Pilgrim Hotel. Now this was the end of the ride, the payoff. Ronnie Jackson
- 1:09:20 Jackson versus mint julep Montague. My brain pitted against his. Yeah, he had the brain and I had the pit.
- 1:09:35 Suppose they haven't got a room near my uncle sweet. You just toss that smile on him honey and give us a joy.
- 1:09:40 Thanks, Ron.
- 1:09:45 - Nice to see you again, Barry. - Thank you.
- 1:09:48 Very good.
- 1:09:52 I guess old Shortland Brad joins him later.
- 1:09:54 I'll see you about that room.
- 1:09:56 Say, but we'd like to talk to you about one moment, please. Can you tell me the number of Barron Monte Street?
- 1:10:01 Sorry, he's out of town.
- 1:10:02 Oh, I'm Mr. Dawson of the State Department.
- 1:10:06 Oh, yes.
- 1:10:07 He's expecting you. Sweet 14 C. Thank you.
- 1:10:12 Yes?
- 1:10:13 Oh, we'd like a room, please. Something on the 14th floor. Sorry, we have another thing. Say, what about those rooms for Hennessey and Mackay?
- 1:10:19 And Kelly and Schultz. Oh, yes.
- 1:10:22 Will you please register?
- 1:10:23 I thought you said you didn't have a roof.
- 1:10:26 Well, you see, if you were with the convention, I could probably... Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. We're with the convention.
- 1:10:30 Well, you certainly don't look like a detective. Well, as a...
- 1:10:41 Well...
- 1:10:41 I'm not exactly a detective, I'm more of a stool pigeon.
- 1:10:46 They're at the other hotels, you know, I thought...
- 1:10:48 Well, look...
- 1:10:52 What?
- 1:10:54 Well?
- 1:10:56 We must be off, old boy. Chilly old pip-pip, taphole and all that sort of rots. Come, Deborah, come.
- 1:11:01 Yes, we mustn't be late for tea. - Now, I hate soggy crumpets, you know. - So do I. - Well, step up. - Goodbye, gentlemen.
- 1:11:09 Just read all about it. Police, capture, killer.
- 1:11:14 They got me. New York Gang Slayer Jail. It's a New York murderer he's yelling about. Oh yeah sure and I'm just a San Francisco murderer.
- 1:11:23 I don't know how much more of this I can take. You've had me in hot water so long I feel like a tea bag. Well, why don't you quit? I can take it from here. Oh, sure. Now that you got me over a barrel, now that I'm wanted for murder...
- 1:11:33 for murder.
- 1:11:34 You want me to quit, huh? Well, let me...
- 1:11:37 Yes.
- 1:11:38 Did you hear that bell ringing?
- 1:11:42 What bell?
- 1:11:43 It just rang for ice water in 14C. And who do you think is going to bring it up?
- 1:11:47 Me. How much ever, May?
- 1:12:02 Hey!
- 1:12:03 Hey! Hey, Mr. Dawson! Boy, bring us back! Mr. Dawson, I want to talk to you! Which way, huh?
- 1:12:10 Is that all right, Major Montague?
- 1:12:13 Hey, boy. Give me a hand with these bags. No, but this ice water. There's a blonde in 14A who's on fire. Cut the comedy and get these bags. This is an emergency. She's sizzling. Come on.
- 1:12:24 Okay, so I got that.
- 1:12:27 Don't push me around.
- 1:12:30 My dues are paid too, you know.
- 1:12:32 All right, Tony.
- 1:12:38 Let's go.
- 1:12:42 Oh boy. You. Yeah?
- 1:12:45 - That portfolio... - The office is in there, Simon.
- 1:12:48 Yes, I say. Put the bags in that room of the portfolio in the orders.
- 1:12:56 Hey, Farron, how was it easy?
- 1:12:57 I handle Mr. Dawson beautifully.
- 1:13:01 Nice having you with us again, Baron Monte. Will you be in Washington, Lord?
- 1:13:05 Not long. Days, perhaps.
- 1:13:08 Let me tell you about Dawson.
- 1:13:09 I had a...
- 1:13:09 Not now.
- 1:13:11 We don't know.
- 1:13:12 Would you like me to open the window for you?
- 1:13:16 Yes, ma'am.
- 1:13:17 Oh boy!
- 1:13:23 Oh, bye.
- 1:13:25 Coming, coming.
- 1:13:26 Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
- 1:13:28 - Will that be all, sir? - Yes.
- 1:13:32 And the other boy is...
- 1:13:33 Just a minute, your man.
- 1:13:44 Hey!
- 1:13:47 Hey!
- 1:13:48 Okay, sucker.
- 1:14:00 Oh, I've been proud of me. I tell you not kiss me. He never proud of anybody.
- 1:14:06 No.
- 1:14:07 Yeah, come on.
- 1:14:08 now that
- 1:14:20 I...
- 1:14:32 Don't name it.
- 1:14:34 Well?
- 1:14:37 Barron's a stubborn old man.
- 1:14:39 He still hasn't talked. He...
- 1:14:42 He pretends he doesn't know the code.
- 1:14:45 Give me that.
- 1:14:57 Well, if it ain't Johnny... Shh!
- 1:15:01 Look, Willie.
- 1:15:02 We're friends, pals, remember? Sure. I like you. Let's go tell the fellas. No, Willie, no. They'd ruin everything. We're friends. Let's be alone.
- 1:15:11 Here.
- 1:15:12 Have some walnuts. Are them yours? Let's slip this into your pocket. Jesus.
- 1:15:18 You know, I like walnuts better than almost anything. Shh.
- 1:15:24 Except coconuts.
- 1:15:25 - Open that chair. - I hate them. - I do. - They don't let me here. - And they will soon.
- 1:15:30 Yeah. Shhh. Look, just forget that you ever saw me.
- 1:15:34 I'll bring you some leeching nuts.
- 1:15:36 You can crack them with your eyelids.
- 1:15:38 They're more fun. Shh.
- 1:15:42 You're a pal.
- 1:15:47 Bye-bye.
- 1:15:48 I believe.
- 1:16:11 Hey, you know who I just seen? Shh.
- 1:16:13 At least. The part that's in cold.
- 1:16:18 Shh, quiet. What are you doing?
- 1:16:21 Kraken nut.
- 1:16:22 - Guess who give them to me? - Oh, sit down.
- 1:16:24 He was right. I stopped interrupting.
- 1:16:27 But I just wanted... Shut up.
- 1:16:30 That ain't no nice way to talk to a person.
- 1:16:35 All right, just for that, I'll keep quiet.
- 1:16:43 Any luck? Oh! Shh!
- 1:16:46 I thought you looked a little thin.
- 1:16:47 Anything in the portfolio?
- 1:16:49 Just this.
- 1:16:50 They're too smart to put anything on paper. Uh-huh.
- 1:16:53 I'd go out and shoot it out with him, but it's so messy.
- 1:16:56 I've looked all through the filing cabinet. We gotta get something on the baby or we're dead ducks.
- 1:17:02 We gotta get something else, baby, or we're dead ducks.
- 1:17:05 Yeah, I said that.
- 1:17:07 Hey.
- 1:17:10 What is it? It's a recording machine that repeats what you say.
- 1:17:13 You know, for a guy too fat to hold a secretary in his lap.
- 1:17:16 Do you know how to work it? Sure, you just speak into this mic and make a record.
- 1:17:19 - That's it. - That's what? You work the machine.
- 1:17:22 I'll get them to talk.
- 1:17:24 This is one of the best ideas I ever had.
- 1:17:26 Marvelous what you can do when you think.
- 1:17:29 Okay, lead 'em in.
- 1:17:34 I don't know.
- 1:17:45 Well, Carl Lottor.
- 1:17:55 A chambermaid now, huh? You see, she's dangerous. We've got to get rid of her. Oh, let her go, kill him. We don't want any trouble here. But that's no trouble. I put her in a trunk and send her to my brother in California. I said let her go. All right, of course. Will you handle it? Sit down, Carlotta. Sit down. Sit down. Whatever happened to your friend, what was his name, Mr. Jackson? That fool. That embassled.
- 1:18:22 He never knew when to keep his mouth shut.
- 1:18:24 You were too smart for him. Now I'm alone and...
- 1:18:29 Too weak to fight any longer.
- 1:18:32 There's really nothing to fight about, honey. Here, I'll show you what I mean.
- 1:18:37 Carla, I once made you a mighty generous offer concerning this.
- 1:18:42 The, uh... the map?
- 1:18:45 Yes, the man. Now, I'm repeating that offer.
- 1:18:50 There seems to be something missing here. The code. You get me the code to the uranium deposits in San Dimas, and I'll let you both go. You mean...
- 1:19:00 My uncle and me? Yes. I see. Otherwise? Well, you know what we did to Mr. Collins.
- 1:19:09 What do you mean "we"?
- 1:19:10 I did.
- 1:19:11 Always belittling me. When I do a job, I do it. I don't think we ought to waste time arguing between ourselves. Excuse me. All right.
- 1:19:21 Well, I... I'll get to think it over for a minute. It's a very big decision. I don't like to be kept waiting, girl. No, we don't. Did you hear me, Collada?
- 1:19:33 Well... Did you really kill Mr. Collins? Well, who do you think did it? That baby photographer? That phony detective?
- 1:19:42 How do you like that? Such a neat job, an artistic job, and she thinks an amateur did it. Yes, yes. Stop taking vows. I'm not taking any vows. I'm still waiting, Carlotta.
- 1:19:54 Did you hear me?
- 1:19:57 Kisnet, I can't believe that
- 1:20:00 I killed Mr. Collins. But I did! I killed him! I killed him! I killed him! How often do I have to see? That doesn't... That doesn't... Stick him up! Stick him up!
- 1:20:11 Easy, Cuddles. One move and you're a dead midget.
- 1:20:14 Didn't recognize me, huh? Give me that map. Come here, baby.
- 1:20:19 You'll have to be in a crossfire. Now, get your friends in here. Hurry up or I'll fill you so full of holes you'll look like a fat clarinet. Come on, get them in here. Get back there. Make it snappy. Nice work, baby. All right, boys. You can come in now.
- 1:20:34 Come on.
- 1:20:36 All right, yeah. Come on. Easy does it, fellas. I got a bullet in here for each of you. And one left over in case I can still hear breathing. You know those dicks downstairs? Tell them I'm giving a little party in 14th Sea. Hurry.
- 1:20:49 - All right. Will you be all right? - All right, this is my type of work. Light up against the wall. Hurry up, I got you covered. Back up, all of you.
- 1:20:59 I said back up.
- 1:21:04 Okay, then I'll back up. Now, come on, fellas, be sensible. The least you can do is put your hands on... Aha! Aha! Why didn't I think of that before?
- 1:21:17 See this record? It's a little swing number. And you guys are going to do the swinging. Willie. What about Willie? Give it to me, Charlie.
- 1:21:31 Why, you coward, using your feet, huh?
- 1:21:35 Sorry. Get after him. Get that record. Get after him. Get that record.
- 1:21:41 Look, you come one step closer and I'll break this record into a thousand pieces. Wait a minute. Whose side am I on? Please, fellas. I can't go any higher in the ceiling. I'll blow my top. Get it out when I get the record. Ah, no leechy nuts. Oh, boy. You're kidding me. Watch out, boy.
- 1:21:59 Oh, oh, oh, oh. Ah-ha! Ray Molin's been here. I hate to do this, Willie. Get that right here. Get it.
- 1:22:10 What's going on in here?
- 1:22:12 Hump!
- 1:22:13 I'm Lieutenant Hennessy. Oh, Lieutenant...
- 1:22:15 Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.
- 1:22:25 Why, the young fella's a little mixed up, officer.
- 1:22:27 I want you all to meet Ronnie Jackson, who's wanted by the state of California for the murder of one James Collins. Just a minute. You listen to that record and you'll see who killed James Collins. Yeah, get the record and we'll play it. Who's... Who's locked the door?
- 1:22:40 Come watch. Listen to this. Come here. Stay here, Jim. Yes, sir. He's mad.
- 1:22:47 Not all I'll show you. I'll fix these characters. The man's plum crazy. Wait, you hear this? I'll send all these guys to the cooler. That's right, Ronnie. You may be having a detective's convention, but I've been doing a little sleuthing myself in the modern way with a recording machine. Need any help?
- 1:22:59 Give me that record.
- 1:23:00 Back away, gremlin. Gentlemen.
- 1:23:03 The record you're about to hear not only clears me of a murder charge, but also exposes a tremendous international conspiracy.
- 1:23:09 A conspiracy, gentlemen, which seeks to destroy civilization.
- 1:23:12 Listen.
- 1:23:13 He says, murder, he says. Every time we kiss, he says, murder, he says. At a time like this, he says, murder, he says. Is that the language of love? No, this isn't the record. I've been framed.
- 1:23:24 they switch the records on by no way about it but there are just a minute before you take him away in that pocket here something that belongs to me
- 1:23:33 Give me that map. But it's not his. It's the Baron Monte's. Ask her. Ask Carlotta. Carlotta. Carlotta.
- 1:23:39 - Carlotta! - Carlotta!
- 1:23:44 Come on!
- 1:23:45 Good.
- 1:23:48 Let's go, killer.
- 1:23:55 Well, that's about it. You know the rest. Quick trial. Carlotta never showing up. Nice deal. Win it.
- 1:24:08 Hey! Reminds me. Yeah, we're late. You're late. In about five minutes, I'll be the late Ronnie Jackson.
- 1:24:15 We got tickets for this thing. Oh, fine. Remember, I'm doing this without a rehearsal.
- 1:24:21 Yeah. Is that too tight? Can you breathe? What's the difference?
- 1:24:25 What is this thing, Doc? That is the stethoscope. Stethoscope? Still beating it. Well, hello, warden. Any news from the governor? Open up.
- 1:24:42 Come here son. You and I are going to take a little walk. Daddy Jackson. You can take it. Now get some water. Get some water. Now I lay me down asleep. I've... I... Oh they got you too. You look alive. Yes.
- 1:25:12 Where are we?
- 1:25:13 Well, look. Carlotta. Carlotta. You double-crosser, why didn't you come to my trial? Where have you been? Ronnie, Ronnie, you're free. I said...
- 1:25:52 I think you'd better stick to taking baby pictures. Oh, I forgot to tell the executioner. It's all off. Harry! It's all off.
- 1:26:01 Off?
- 1:26:04 Yes.
- 1:26:14 Well, he'll take any kind of a part.
- 1:26:21 Off?
