1:13 You see, Algie? Emptied in Coney Island on Christmas. It's been this way for the last couple of weeks. Well, you can't blame the boys, Knuckles. That feels much too hot to work out in a gym. Yeah, I know. If I could only think of some way to get them off the streets, they're bound to get into some kind of a jam. Why don't you talk to the boys themselves? I have. They've been towing the mark. Now the sponsor's got the idea that I'm boring.
1:43 But I ain't. Algy, I grew up on these streets. They almost got me the chair. And my gang wasn't any worse than Bernie's. - Where is the gang this morning? - Search me.
1:59 I'm going to go.
2:11 Hey, how'd you do that water yet? I want a drink. I'm hot. I'm roasting. Can't we do something to cool off? Yeah, it could go swimming off the dock. Yeah, the cops would grab us for not having no bathing suits. How about the reservoir? Nobody would see us up there. Nobody but a hunk of brass button guards they got. Yeah, lay up with your scruno. Make me hotter with that cooling system. How about the ice house? They run us out of there yesterday, remember? Hey, why can't we dig up someplace in the shower? That'll be something.
2:41 A fire plug!
2:43 - Ah, the cops would grab us, sure. - What do you mean? I seen a fire in the 10th one on Delancey Street just the other morning. - Gosh, different. They're legal. - We'd only turn it on for a few minutes. - Yeah, just long enough to get cold. - Man, I just love waiting. - Yeah, let's do it.
2:57 Well, if you guys know one that ain't right out in front of a police station, there's one right down on Vassie Street. There ain't no police station there, neither.
3:27 Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Get on the water! Hey! Hey! Hey!
3:39 Look at the bits! Look at the bits! The fresh... What's the matter? Nobody buys today? What's the matter? Nobody helps me totally push him up the car?
3:57 Oh, my God! Come on, Ed, you cat!
4:05 It's all he's got in the back of the village of Nerva in the street. Hey, come over here! You'll see them! Hey! Hey! Open your knees!
4:15 Father, come in to me!
4:46 Police!
5:16 No.
5:24 It's just possible, Mr. Wilkies, that Dolan isn't the right man for the job.
5:28 You know his record. Knuckles Doran has the full countenance of the club's sponsor's captain. He is completely regenerated.
5:35 I can understand that very easily.
5:37 Having his innocence established just before he is to die for committing a murder should reform any man. I ain't a bit sorry for any of you.
5:44 But it's so hot.
5:45 Yeah, what's a little water? You know, when the captain phoned me, I had half of mine, not the butter, trying to square it.

5:51 Thanks anyway. Don't thank me.
5:54 Thank Algy. He got his father to come down here and go to bat for you.
5:57 Billy?
6:09 If Danny and his friends get in any more trouble,
6:12 They can't expect any leniency from me. I'm sure there will be no more trouble, Captain. The boys will be very safe, for I am sending them. I hope so. Good day, Captain.
6:22 Good luck.
6:23 I'm going to go.
6:25 Come on.
6:28 Uh-oh.
6:29 Here comes the old man with another one of his lectures, I guess. Quiet, Monks. Where are you gonna send us, Mr. Wilkies? My summer home on the other end of the day. I'd rather go to jail. Ah, summer camp. Sissy stuff. I ain't going. Not for this guy. Ditto.
6:43 Move me, move me.
6:44 What's doing up there? Must you always have excitement? Let me talk to them, Father. No wonder you don't want to go, fellas. It takes nerve to rough it in the country. Who says we ain't got no nerve? I've listened to that guy. I read about them farms. There ain't no future in that. You're crazy. There's lots of excitement. Exploring caves, tracking down wild animals, camping out at night.
7:02 Plenty to eat and no cops. Oh, Moita, think of the things we could swipe.
7:06 They're steak cops. I heard about it. And the fishing is great. Imagine early in the morning, a rod and a reel and a game fish. You hear that, guys?
7:13 He said fish. Fishin'. And man, I just loves catfish.
7:18 I promise you won't be bored.
7:20 Well, it might be okay.
7:23 It's up to you boys.
7:25 You see you're at the mountains or... Okay, okay, we'll go. Don't jump in confusions.
7:29 I ain't gonna stay here alone. Good.
7:32 You will start this afternoon.
7:34 I have a station wagon which will be just right for the trip.
7:37 You drive, of course? Oh, yeah, but I don't know how good I'll be where there ain't no traffic. You're not backing out on us, are you, Knuckles? Ah, of course not.
7:46 I ain't got no lace on my undershirt. Good, then it's all settled. It's Camp Wilkie's or Buss.
8:06 All right, I'll see happen. Okay.
8:56 I'm going to go.
8:59 Yes?
9:01 Yes.
9:06 There's no boat sailing for two days, Judge. Two days? Two days? That's too late, Giles.
9:11 That's right judge two whole days. In that time most anything can happen.
9:15 Probably will. That seems to amuse you.
9:17 Hardly.
9:18 Simply that I know that Moray gang.
9:20 Unless I'm very much mistaken, they'll see to it that you never have a chance to testify against them.
9:25 They have too much at stake.
9:26 Yes, I know.
9:28 They're threatening Louise too.
9:30 Well, they got close enough to the apartment to leave this in the mailbox.
9:33 If you and that ward of yours want to stay healthy, keep awake in the trial.
9:37 That means Louise, of course.
9:39 That shouldn't worry you too much. No.
9:42 They could use her to keep me from testifying. And in the face of such publicity, what can I do but stay off the witness stand? Whatever happens, you can't win.
9:50 If you evade the gang, the courts will convict you on that bribery indictment. I'd rather take my chances at the trial.
9:56 Meantime...
9:57 I've got to get out of town.
9:59 Where?
10:01 Briar to the manor.
10:02 That mountain house of yours?
10:04 It ought to be safe.
10:06 How'd you get out of here?
10:09 We'll wait until tonight.
10:11 Bring the car around the back alley. We'll come through the basement.
10:14 You're going to take Louise along? Of course. Tell her to pack.
10:18 and the horse.
10:26 You sent for me, Miss Louise?
10:29 Yes, Simp, I want you to take those bags downstairs. Go someplace?
10:33 On a trip maybe with the judge? Yes, and if you're going to, in fact, we're all going. Where?
10:38 I don't know just where it's Uncle Mal's orders. Oh, gee, I wish he'd have told me.
10:43 I can't go to a place where they're calling me murder.
10:45 I didn't have no idea.
10:51 Why out those bags on the way downstairs? Simp wants to call his mother.
10:54 He'll call nobody. Those phone wires may be tapped. Tapped? Yes, with my trial coming off next week. I can't trust anybody.
11:04 Take them to the basement door, Sim. The basement?
11:07 But why all the secrecy, Uncle Mal? Reporters, photographers, I don't want them trailing me every second.
11:12 Where are we going? Briar Clifford.
11:14 That place?
11:15 But that spooky old Agnes.
11:17 Oh, she scares me, Uncle Matt. Nonsense. She's a little peculiar, getting there alone since my wife died.
11:22 I don't like her. She was devoted to Lenora.
11:24 That's why I pageant her and let her stay on at the manor.
11:27 I suppose it's better than staying here alone.
11:30 But it's so gloomy it reminds me of a morgue.
11:33 Is it haunted, Miss Louise? I don't think so, but it needs a good ghost to give it a little life. Oh, come, Louise. The car is waiting.
11:43 Come on.
11:54 Get going.
11:55 We'll make Briarcliff by midnight. I don't think anyone's seen us.
12:21 How do you like that another flat tire why the freights on 11th Avenue could beat this lump you like our service tail orders if you don't like it tell us well I'm
12:31 Now look here, fellas. I'm looking. All I can see is a flat tire. Cap Wilkie's a bust. Well, we're a bust, aren't we?
12:38 You heard drive, of course. That's what he asked Knuckles.
12:41 If I got to ask us if we could push, push!
12:45 Oh, no, that's not for me.
12:47 I'm leaving a call.
12:49 Wake me when it's fixed.
12:50 Hey boy, bring me out some ice water, will ya? Yes sir!
12:54 Say, I was a guest here too.
12:57 Oh, shit.
13:06 All right, boys, load up. How much farther, Alton? Oh, about 30 miles or so.
13:44 Help! Help! Let me out of here! Why, that dying light! I...
13:48 Let me out of here! I got annoyed! Sunday driver! Sunday driver! Give me a mouthpiece! Give me a mouthpiece! Help! Help! I was sliced! What's the matter, Scroft? Get up here! What's the matter? Hey, Dan, he's black and blue! Anything wrong, Knuckles?
14:06 Yeah, I think the rear end's dead. I think that's my trouble, too.
14:36 Miles.
14:36 What's the matter?
14:37 I don't know. Are you sure you have enough gas? I filled up in town. Feed line's been leaking. I noticed that last week. I had that repaired.
14:45 We might have sprung it again.
14:47 The indicator reads empty. Empty.
14:50 And that's what comes of dealing with a pack of imbeciles.
14:53 Where are you going?
14:55 We passed the gas station back away. I'll bring a mechanic. All right, Giles. But hurry.
15:03 I'll be right back.
15:09 What is it? What happened? The motor exploded.
15:15 A spark must have lit the gas from the leak. It's a bomb, a time bomb. Bomb? But why? We've got to get off this road, Giles. Do something. You must do something.
15:28 Well, I'll try to flag this car.
15:40 In trouble?
15:41 Yes, had a blowout. Skidded into the bank. Could you give us a lift? No. No. Keep quiet, fellas. Sure, we'll be glad to have you. Tell them to get in. Thank you.
15:50 Sim!
15:51 Get the baggage.
15:52 All right, Louise. You're going far?
15:54 The Briar Kiff Manor, about five miles up the road. Well, we're practically laying there. Step to the back, folks. Plenty of room back here. Don't cry in the front of the car. Hey, get out of here! Have your exact fares ready. Women and children foist. I'm Judge Malcolm Parker.
16:08 Judge.
16:11 Five million guys stumbling their way along the road. And we gotta pick up a judge. That's fake.
16:46 Oh, boy.
17:13 Go!
17:18 That graveyard has stood there for centuries. All my wife's ancestors are buried there. So is she. It's exclusively for the family. Misser, you have my word. I won't intrude on your family.
17:35 Don't see any lights. Where's Agnes I wonder?
17:41 Well, that's that. Rear end shots. What are you? I guess our bus is about done for. Don't suppose you can put us up for the night? Of course not. We haven't the room.
17:54 Boys, I guess we're gonna have to walk. We'll send back for the baggage.
17:59 Nice people.
18:04 Hey, lady, don't do that!
18:06 What do you try to do, scare us a dud lady? The graveyard!
18:11 Didn't you ever see a tombstone before? It was a man.
18:15 It was a shadow.
18:18 Wasn't it Giles?
18:19 Thank you. Wait a minute, boys. Oh, send me.
18:25 Bring their baggage upstairs with ours. Okay, but...
18:29 I'll be delighted to have you stay with us.
18:31 Come on, boys.
18:33 Whoa. Nice job, huh?
18:42 - Paul! - Ghosts! Ghosts! - Calm yourself, calm yourself. You don't believe in ghosts, do you? - No, sir. I don't believe in them.
18:54 I'm scared of them. What ails you? I saw a face.
19:00 - Ghost space? - Oh, nonsense. It's probably Agnes, my housekeeper. She's a little peculiar. Come along.
19:13 - Confounded! Where is she? - I telephoned her to expect us. - Well, this place makes me awful nervous. - And my stomach is doing the jumping jive. - Rubbish. There's nothing to fear. - Nothing to fear? Then what's all the screaming about? - Where is she?
19:28 Come on.
19:31 You're not flicking the red cap out of me. All them kids are like a thing of baggage. Another way to pull up trash I know. What a guy. You think I am anyhow. You're awesome.
19:52 Perhaps one of you boys will go around the back, climb in the window and unlatch this door. That's a good idea. Yeah, you go.
20:00 You go. He's gone. You go. You go. I'm willing, but I can't convince my feet.
20:06 Yeah, what's that? It's a light.
20:16 Good evening.
20:18 Why is the house dark?
20:21 Won't you come in?
20:33 That's better.
20:34 You shouldn't have this fire going.
20:36 Lenora never likes heat. Lenora's dead.
20:39 What makes this place so cold? It's age. There is never any warmth where the dead do not rest.
20:45 Tommy Rot.
20:47 Oh, good evening, Kirk.
20:49 Good evening, sir.
20:50 We have guests, unexpected guests.
20:52 Serve dinner for them.
20:53 We'll eat a little later.
20:55 Yes, sir.
20:57 Where are you going?
20:58 Well, I must get a little rest and wash up for dinner.
21:01 Hey, boss, this stuff's heavy. Why'll I pour that? Take it up to my suite.
21:04 You show the boys to my quarters, Agnes.
21:07 Perhaps you'd like to get ready for dinner it'll be served shortly.
21:11 Come on, boys.
21:23 Come on.
21:24 I'm going to go.
21:27 I'm going to go.
21:40 Why do you want to clutter up the house with that mob?
21:42 That time bomb has me worried.
21:44 Maybe Maury's gang has followed me here.
21:47 Those boys may prevent a murder.
21:50 Yes, maybe.
21:57 Come along, boys.
22:05 Feel just like Snow White.
22:07 She gives you an apple, don't eat it.
22:13 Man, I sure do miss that old plantation.
22:30 I'm going to go.
22:41 You cannot escape.
22:45 I'm going to go.
22:58 Oh, there you are.
23:00 I wondered where
23:06 What's the matter if you've seen a ghost.
23:07 I told you they'd trail me.
23:09 I'm not safe.
23:12 I haven't seen any strangers.
23:14 I did.
23:16 Not that window, only five minutes ago.
23:18 It's your imagination.
23:20 How could they find out you were up here? I don't know. They must have a map of the house. I found this note stuck in the wall right there.
23:27 I'll sleep in Louisa's room tonight
23:30 Aren't they after her, too?
23:32 I put Louise in the adjoining room so she can hear if anything happens to me.
23:35 And I can hear if anything happens to her.
23:37 You'd like for something to happen to Louise, wouldn't you?
23:40 I'm going to go.
23:41 I'm going to go.
23:44 With Louise out of the way, your slow embezzling of her fortune would never be found out. And with me out of the way, you could get hold of her and her money.
23:51 Perhaps you know something about these death threats.
23:55 Don't be ridiculous.
24:00 Cigarette?
24:01 No.
24:02 Let's go in to dinner.
24:34 Hey, how about you? How about me? How about you? How about you?
24:38 Yes, I'm going to lie.
24:51 Ooh!
24:52 Boy, I don't like that woman.
24:54 And I don't like that graveyard, but watermelon is watermelon anytime.
25:02 Man, oh man.
25:07 Pardon me, Jackson, which one of these tools do you use?
25:10 Do what you always do. Use your mitts. Eh, use your mitts. Where's Knuckles? Isn't he going to eat?
25:16 He's taking a bath. That kid's gonna get sick from washing himself so much.
25:22 Oh, what a good idea. Cigars. Cigars. Cigars. Cigars ain't for kids.
25:43 Gentlemen of the board.
25:45 That last quotation was the punk, see?
25:47 What we need is more cooperation. I protest. Get out of here.
25:51 Now we gotta stop amalgamated from us learning on small car rackets. See, that's the first thing we gotta do. - All right, Crotech! - Get down! Who is that guy?
25:59 That's the president. Throw him out! Throw him out!
26:03 Come on.
26:05 Oh, my God.
26:08 Moist and Moist.
26:18 Come on.
26:22 Now.
26:31 I'm going to go.
26:34 In with the double.
26:49 The best part of his cigar is the last inch.
26:52 I'm going to go.
27:04 What's up, Danny? - He got sick. - Yes, sissies.
27:10 They shouldn't eat so much. What's the cigars, not the food?
27:14 Yeah, well that serves them right.
27:16 You need any help, Danny?
27:18 No, I'll be all right.
27:21 I only took a couple puffs.
27:24 Cigars are not for kids.
27:27 Come on.
27:35 Agnes, we're ready for dinner.
27:39 Say...
27:40 Have I seen you somewhere before. Yes sir I was on trial in your court I'm knuckles dolan.
27:45 Knuckles dole that's right. You sentenced me to death for murder. I was innocent afterwards exonerated.
27:52 Remember?
27:54 I'm up here with the boys, their guardian.
27:56 She's up here to murder me.
28:00 I remember now.
28:01 She's a member of the Mooray gang.
28:04 Those boys are just a cover-up.
28:06 I'm not a member of any gang. You're upset. It's just a coincidence.
28:11 He trailed me up here.
28:13 He's been watching me.
28:15 Spying. This place would drive anybody drip dizzy and you're no exception.
28:19 I saw you.
28:21 At the living room in the night 20 minutes ago. I was upstairs. Dinner is ready.
28:27 Come on.
28:28 Who could eat dinner with a murderer in the house? You should talk. You've been indicted for bribery.
28:33 And you're going to jail yourself.
28:35 You're...
28:36 Have you watched every moment?
28:40 If you will not get away with it.
28:42 Come on, John. I'm going to bed.
28:45 You can eat later. Oh, gee, I was so hungry. I want to eat.
28:51 He ain't paying me for that.
28:54 What a wacky joint. Hey, Knuckles, let's get out of here. We can walk. That's my idea, too, Danny. Don't go. Please.
29:03 Well I. I welcome.
29:05 Won't you stay and help me please, Mr. Dolan?
29:08 Why do you need help? I'm in danger.
29:13 Judge Parker has been threatened. I've been threatened, too.
29:16 The judge has been embezzling my money. He wouldn't care if something did happen to me.
29:20 Don't leave this evening.
29:22 I'm so afraid.
29:24 I'll go with you in the morning, if I may.
29:31 Thank you. Hi.
29:34 Hey, what's the matter?
29:37 Oh, it's this whole set up.
29:40 And you?
29:41 Oh, you mean to call Judge Parker, thinks I'm up here to murder him?
29:45 He don't believe you about being after us and all that stuff.
29:48 If the Morrie gang come up here and get them, they'll drag you in on it.
29:51 We just gotta get out of here, Knuckles. We will in the morning.
29:56 It's a girl. Miss Mason needs somebody to protect her.
30:00 I don't mean any harm, Knuckles. It's just that I couldn't go out if he was to get in another jam.
30:07 Yeah, I know.
30:08 But there ain't any danger then. I'd like to believe that.
30:12 There seems to be danger all around here.
30:14 Death threatened.
30:16 People peeping in windows and...
30:18 And that old Agnes.
30:20 Yeah.
30:22 But don't worry about me, Danny.
30:25 But suppose they do bump off the judge. Well, they'll try to pin it on you.
30:29 Mm.
30:30 Gee, that'd be awful.
30:32 They might make it stick next time.
30:36 Look, Danny.
30:37 I ain't never gonna do nothing that'll hurt you.
30:40 But I ain't leaving here till daylight.
30:42 Look, you wouldn't want me to run out like a coward with Miss Mason on the spot, would you?
30:50 No, I guess I wouldn't. Yeah. But watch your step, and don't even trust her. Okay, Ken.
30:56 Say, don't you think you kids ought to be getting to bed? Daylight's coming pretty fast.
30:59 It can't come too fast to suit me.
31:02 Where are you going? Go around. Come on.
31:08 Come on.
31:09 I'm going to go.
31:11 Come on.
31:26 Don't go, pretty lady.
31:29 Don't go.
31:32 Yet.
31:36 What do you want?
31:38 You have such nice, soft...
31:41 White skin.
31:42 Nora had white skin like that
31:45 Until it became yellowed and shriveled.
31:48 What a pity.
31:50 Pretty lady.
31:52 If your skin should lose its whiteness.
31:56 What do you mean?
31:57 Strange things happen when the moon is full.
32:01 And Lenora cannot rest.
32:04 I'm sorry.
32:05 Stop this nonsense.
32:06 Stay here.
32:10 Lenora would like that.
32:13 Yes, what do you want?
32:40 *Screams*
32:42 *Screams*
32:58 Gee, I wonder why they keep this place so dark. You're not afraid, are you? Who, me?
33:04 Have you seen Miss Mason? Shh. Judge Parker's trying to sleep. Shh.
33:08 Miss Mason is retired.
33:10 which shows her excellent judgment.
33:15 Maybe he's right.
33:16 But Louise said she'd meet me in the library. Come on. I tell you, the judge looks scared. And that man Giles is trying to calm him down. Why as close to him as I am to you. I never had a front seat and a killin'. If that old station wagon had to break down, why couldn't it pick out a better place? Yeah, maybe in one of those camps, maybe. We could've been splashing around the canoe instead of jitterbugging with our teeth. Is it my fault?
33:41 Next time I'll tell my father to leave you in jail. You'll tell him. We'll tell him.
33:46 Hey, that old dame says a couple of us could sleep next door. Come on, Kiwi. Wait a minute.
33:49 Knuckles said for us to go to bed. We'll leave him early in the morning.
33:53 Does he think there's gonna be any trouble tonight? Nah.
33:56 There's something funny about this old morgue.
33:58 So big and empty and yet it seems to be full of noises.
34:02 There's lots of houses like that. Nothing to be afraid of. Nothing to be afraid of?
34:06 Why even my goose pimples got goose pimples.
34:15 What was that? It's only the organ in the living room.
34:18 You ain't kidding me. No, my grandmother used to have one.
34:22 But everybody's in bed.
34:25 Somebody ain't.
34:26 Let's see.
34:29 Yes. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
34:33 Come on.
34:35 What's the matter, school? Ain't you coming?
34:37 Colin?
34:38 You feel that hot air on your neck? Brother, that's my breath, brother. Ow. Shh. Quiet. What's the matter? I can see it down here. It's a flashlight.
34:48 I don't see nothing. It's them ghosts again.
34:51 It's probably that old Agnes. I gotta choose between Agnes and those ghosts.
34:55 I'm going to take jail. Cut that comedy, will you?
34:58 Don't be afraid of.
34:59 Come on.
35:00 Let's see what it is. Yeah, cool. What is going on? Hi-yo! Go ahead. You first, Danny. Oh, my God. You're so much. Shh.
35:23 Let's go back.
35:26 That's Russia.
35:28 - Okay, let's go. - Yeah, let's go first. - Come first. - Okay, come on.
35:37 Nobody here.
35:44 I'm going to go.
35:46 They still go this again.
35:48 Ghosts don't play your organs. Maybe they learn how.
35:54 Then Nora wouldn't like that.
35:57 That's Lenora's organ...
35:59 She plays it every night. Lenora?
36:02 That's Mrs. Parker, isn't it?
36:04 Lenora cannot rest.
36:07 Her grave is ever empty.
36:09 At nights. Hey, you can't scare us with that dribble. It's not a question of fear.
36:16 but of your safety.
36:19 Go fly her, Kate.
36:21 Lenora will never rest.
36:23 until she gets revenge on him. Malcolm Parker wronged her cruelly.
36:30 But he'll pay.
36:38 Remember...
36:40 I warned you. Leave this house.
36:46 tonight.
36:55 He's crazy.
36:56 She makes sense to me.
37:00 Ghosts playing organs. Phooey.
37:03 She was pushing those keys herself.
37:05 Uh, come on, fellas. Let's go to bed.
37:08 You know, that's the best idea you've had all night. Yeah.
37:23 Gee, it's so dark. It's alright, don't worry, I'm right with ya. Yeah, me too. I can't see anything.
37:32 Ah, it's Sam.
37:34 What's the idea of sneaking up and jumping me? We didn't know you were up yet. What was you doing hiding out here? I wasn't hiding out. I was guarding the judge. Well, the judge's room ain't this far down the hall. Yeah, it ain't down this far. What are you doing here, huh?
37:56 What's going on out here?
37:57 We heard a noise, sir. We were investigating. Well, go back to bed.
38:01 It's Simms' business to do the investigating around here. Yeah, so there.
38:05 I guess we owe you an apology, Sam. Yeah, maybe we owe it to him, but I ain't giving it to him. So long as it's on the cuff, you can have mine, too.
38:14 I get blamed for everything around here.
38:17 You're crazy, I tell you.
38:19 There ain't no such thing as ghosts.
38:21 Our grand man to see the real heart was.
38:24 She must have made some glasses. I guess you ought to know what she sees.
38:29 And I don't believe in ghosts.
38:30 You went to that old graveyard down there and everything. I'd just as soon go down there and walk through it now. Why ain't the...
38:46 I told you so. I told you so. Maybe it's Mrs. Parker. But she's dead. Maybe someone forgot to tell her.
38:54 You said you weren't afraid of the graveyard.
38:55 Go with me now, see what it is. Yeah, go on, go on, go on.
38:58 What have you got to lose? Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. There's nothing in the graveyard but a few stones. You want to go right now? Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. You go. Come on, we'll go. Coming, fellas? Who? Us? Yeah, you.
39:10 Come on. Well, I ain't gonna stay here by myself.
39:26 No!
39:28 No!
39:31 Help! Help! Somebody help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! The boss is dead!
39:47 - Get murdered! - Murdered! - Murdered! - Murdered! Murdered! - Don't kill me! - Why murder you, Lord? - Don't go! What did that happen?
39:57 I'm going to go.
40:03 - Knuckles, Knuckles, I know what I told you so. - Take it easy, kid. I didn't bump off nobody. - You strangled Judge Parker with a cord from one of your own bedroom drapes. And you made away with Miss Mason, too.
40:13 You mean Miss Louisa? - That's Mason, do you?
40:15 She's vanished, not a trace of her.
40:16 Semp and I looked before we caught you.
40:19 You kidnapped her so you could get through her bedroom to murder the judge. That's a lie. Stand still or I won't wait for the chair to finish you.
40:25 Where are you going? To call the police. But I didn't do it, I tell you. Somebody must have sneaked that cord out of my room. Take that gun off, my brother. Let him get away. Nothing doing.
40:33 No pardons for him this time. But I didn't do it, I tell you. Lou...
40:38 Say, where were you when all this happened? Yeah, where were you? I hadn't spotted for a killer since the first time I saw him. Look at him, shifty eyes. Where were you?
40:46 in the room across the hall from the judges.
40:48 But why I should explain to you, I don't know.
40:51 I think you ought to explain to me. I'm the bodyguard. You do some explaining.
40:55 Where were you? You're a fine bodyguard. Well, I don't mind talking, but...
40:59 It's your turn now. Go ahead, go ahead. Ask him some questions.
41:02 How did you happen to find the judge?
41:04 Or did you?
41:06 Yes.
41:07 I thought I heard a noise in the upstairs hall. I went in to see if he was all right.
41:12 He was dead.
41:13 Was the door locked?
41:15 He locked it when I left him earlier in the evening, but I found it open.
41:18 It's them ghosts again.
41:20 Yeah, well, ghosts don't cut phone wires. No, no, no, we can't get any fingerprints off that phone now. Gee, I must have missed them.
41:28 It's worse than that we can't call the police.
41:30 Who'd ever think that I'd be looking for the police? Now we'll have to send somebody.
41:34 Don't look at me. Not me. Brother, I was all out of mileage. Well, who would you suggest?
41:39 Maybe simp.
41:41 Oh, I ain't going out when there's no killer loose. And that killer's getting away while you dumb bells are holding me. And Louise may be in trouble right this minute. Stop the dramatics. You know where she is, all right.
41:51 Go on.
41:52 Semper and I'll keep an eye on you in the living room until morning.
41:55 I'm going to go.
42:08 All right, fresco. Now you took into the waiting for the cops. You kids get some rope, curtain cords or something. You favor curtain cords, don't you? We'll tie up these babies, put them in an upstairs room and leave a guard on them. Scram. I'll be a guard. I learned how to handle a gun at school. Well, you can have one of the other kids for company. And the rest of us can look for Miss Mason. I'm the killer. We must find Louise. Who do you think you're deceiving?
42:29 You're only waiting to get us tied up before skipping out. All right, Pete, you can help Algie.
42:33 Stop lively.
42:34 She, that's the first time I was ever on the wrong end of her gun.
42:37 - I'm not sure.
42:42 All right, Algy, watch him close. If anything goes wrong, fire that gun. Where are you going? Outside to search the grounds. I'll put Danny in the other horse to work searching the house. I suppose it hasn't entered that thick skull of yours, that if you're innocent, and we are too...
42:53 Agnes might know something about all this. Yes, it has. But the way I see it, and from what Louise tells me about you and the judge, you're as guilty as if you'd spill the beans. And that lets Agnes out. Take it easy.
43:04 Come on.
43:07 Alpita watching Simpon Giles.
43:09 Pee-wee, you and Scrooge will see if we can find Agnes and the cook. They might know something. What do we do with them if we catch them? Just hold them and yell for Knuckles. I'd rather hold the cook. Holding Agnes ain't my idea of romance.
43:19 Hey, I'm going outside, so if you find them, be sure and holler good and loud.
43:23 Muggs and me are taking care of this room and the rest is downstairs. Hey, just in case we got the wrong guys tied up. Watch your step, kid. Look here, can we all stick together? I kind of lacks crowds. Come on.
43:38 This ought to do it.
43:43 Hey, ain't you too old to be looking for Santa Claus? I don't know.
43:47 Murderers sometimes use chimneys.
43:52 You know, this joint kind of reminds me of those old castles with the passageways and secret panels and all that junk.
44:01 Cut it out, will ya?
44:02 This ain't no time for music practicing.
44:04 Think this organ has something to do with the secret.
44:07 No, we heard it in the morning just before that ghost showed up.
44:10 Then Agnes says not to touch it. And Knuckles said Miss Mason was to meet him in this room.
44:15 She vanished from this room.
44:17 I bet you there's a secret panel. You're crazy.
44:21 You haven't seen too many movies. Movies?
44:24 That's it!
44:25 Say!
44:26 What's a thin man got that I ain't got? Mine, no lie. Give me a little time, bud. Give me a little time.
44:38 Say, Danny.
44:40 You know what I think?
44:41 You know what I think?
44:43 Hey, Danny, why don't you...
44:46 Hey, Danny!
44:48 Hey, get it! Help! Mums! Get it! Hey, Mums! Get it! It's the organ.
45:04 Hey, what's the matter? What? You're hurt! No, I'm all right. I guess... Somebody grab your what? No, I was just leaning in. I fell in some place.
45:10 Hey.
45:11 It's a secret passage. Some way to his friend. I'll call Michael's call. No, no. You and me's going to explore it. Oh, no, not me. You're going to explore it. I'll stand guard.
45:19 Listen, you're coming in with me.
45:21 Oh, well, I've been to near dead a million times tonight, I might as well get it over with.
45:25 I'll get a candle. You go ahead. Oh no, I don't mind. Wait, it's alright.
45:29 Mm-hmm.
45:31 We got a match?
45:32 Yes, sure.
45:34 No.
45:36 Stop shaking the candle, will ya? You're crazy! Light it, light it!
45:41 That's it. Go ahead. Go ahead. Don't rush me. I'm going. I'm going.
45:52 Go ahead, go ahead.
45:55 Don't be scared. Go ahead.
46:14 - Do you think I should get back and get some help? - Where?
46:18 I think you better go first.
46:31 I'm going to go.
46:45 Stop shoving, I ain't no hurry.
46:49 Come on.
46:52 Come on.
47:02 Jeepers creepers.
47:14 Harold.
47:16 Help!
47:19 Mars!
47:20 Marbs!
47:22 Help! Keep quiet, will ya? Munch! What's the matter with ya?
47:27 I can't handle one of them.
47:29 Somebody lit it! Ah, you're seeing things.
47:32 I didn't see nothing.
47:34 I found him! They didn't stop feeling things. We got work to do. Come on now.
47:38 After him.
47:43 Stop kicking us.
47:50 I'm coming.
47:55 The twins over here. You go that way, I'll go this way.
47:58 Come on, give me half the can. Wait a minute, I got my knife here.
48:04 Come on. I thought you were blaming me.
48:07 You'll find some. Got a match?
48:12 - All right, go ahead now. If you see anything, just yell. - Okay. Don't forget to yell yourself. - I'm... -
49:09 This looks like a ghost.
49:21 Who are you there?
49:23 It is the ghost.
49:26 Hey, Daddy!
49:28 I'm going to go.
49:42 Ghost!
49:44 Help.
49:51 Mugs!
49:54 Mugs!
49:57 Help! Help, Mark!
50:04 Mugs! Help! What are you ducking for? It's me! Annie, I'm telling you it's me, it's Mugs! What's the matter with you? I'm telling you it's Mugs! Look at me, look at me!
50:16 Hey.
50:17 All right.
50:17 What do you...
50:20 What do you want to scare a wife out of me for? Yeah, I found these things in the room back there. I think it belongs to Agnes.
50:25 Why would Agnes want to go around and make her believe she was a ghost? She wants to scare us out of the place so she can knock off the judge.
50:33 That's right.
50:34 There might be some more stuff back there. Come on, let's look.
50:38 Come on, you go first this time. - Come on, you may go first. - I ain't been sad enough yet. Hey, we got Knuckles. Sip and Charles didn't kill Parker, Agnes did. Maybe you're right. She sure thought he was poison.
50:51 Hey, that must be Mrs. Parkers. Hey, you don't suppose she's in it, do you? No, she's out getting a manicure. Can I just explain you all about that ghost stuff?
51:03 Come on, we gotta find Knuckles and report. Hey, you're not gonna go that way, are ya? Why not? That, that man know. Man I know, man, we gotta go.
51:11 Think I'm gonna stay in this dungeon the rest of my life? Come on!
51:48 Hey, I wonder where that killer's here out.
51:53 Beware...
51:56 Beware! Oh, what was that? Someone tells me we ain't alone.
52:11 There he is!
52:13 Let's get him! Come on!
52:18 That's the quilt.
52:19 He's dead! No, she ain't. She's unconscious. We gotta get her back to the house. But how? Well, tell her. She ain't so heavy. You take her feet, I'll take her head. Okay, what do I do with this? Throw it away. And get back in the dark with that killaboose.
52:30 There's only one thing that's important.
52:32 That's all. Come on. You're not telling me it ain't going. Take her head.
52:40 Jake? The light goes where I go. You want to get separated in the dark?
52:51 Come on.
52:52 Come on.
52:58 Right.
52:58 - Do you have to win it for Knuckles? - Okay. Hey, Knuckles! Yeah, what is it?
53:05 We got the gun!
53:08 We got it! We got it! We got it! Go get some water. Okay, okay.
53:14 Well, Stu, get a move on.
53:16 It's okay, okay, I'll get it.
53:22 So they got her, too.
53:25 Judge Parker always preferred a young girl
53:29 That's what broke Lenora's heart. All right, cut the comedy, Agnes. We know all about you.
53:35 She must be making that water. Where was she? How'd you find her? Well, Marcy thought there was something funny about that organ over there.
53:43 Hey, Scurro! Scurro! Yeah, what?
53:45 What's the matter? What's the matter? I heard somebody yell. Oh, maybe somebody else did. Yeah, it sounded more like mugs calling knuckles. Come on, let's go downstairs and find out. All right, all right. Oh!
53:57 Man, if it ain't one thing or another, this officer's giving me the creeps. Grave yards are dead, folks. I wish my man was here, but I don't care. Oh no, I've got to get out. Grave ghosts everywhere, I've got to get out.
54:12 And a man ran down the alley and we brought her back here.
54:14 Here, Danny, you take over. I'm going after him.
54:16 Frank.
54:22 So are you finding her, huh? Yeah.
54:24 We didn't find a cook.
54:26 No.
54:29 And where were you? With Lenora. Lenora.
54:33 There she's over, Jim. Why don't you change that needle?
54:37 Come on, wake up, babe, will you?
54:41 I'm going to go.
55:16 - Oh!
55:18 I'm going to go.
55:26 It's been a long time since we heard that shot. Too long, I'm scared. I'm too scared to be scared anymore.
55:32 Come on.
55:35 Oh, leave it to Knuckles. Yeah, you okay, Knuckles? Yeah, I'm all right. How is she? Ah, she'll come around one of these years. Well, you'll even get sore about it. Oh, it's not her, Knuckles.
55:45 Assistant, I'm so glad to see you're okay.
55:47 He's a tough looking mug, ain't he?
55:50 You gonna let your Al's and Simp go now that you got him? Yeah, I forgot about him. Go tell Al's you to cut him loose. No, don't let that go. Hey, go. Take it easy. I'll get the orders around here. Go ahead, Mugs. Hey, she's coming around. Are you all right, Louise?
56:07 Well the cops will be glad to find you waiting for him.
56:10 Come on, come on, hurry up.
56:14 Just wait till I get my hands on that Dolan. Go on, start something. Oh, I'd like to start sleeping if you don't mind. Sleeping?
56:21 What, all the excitement going on? So what? You got your killer. You found Miss Louise. Nothing to do now to what cops get here. I'm going to bed.
56:29 Yes, I am too.
56:31 Well, go on, get out of here.
56:34 Come on, fellas.
56:36 Happy dreams.
56:43 I'm going to go.
56:46 - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
56:52 Wanted to stay in the background so that I'd have a better chance of trapping the killer.
56:56 That's why I wanted the boys to find Miss Mason. Why I led them to her. You can prove this.
57:01 If you'll let me reach my hand in my pocket-- Is that the elder of the region?
57:03 Which pocket?
57:04 Inside Coatland.
57:10 Jim Harrison, District Attorney's Office. Yes, a little worse for wear. Well, I'm sorry. That's all right. Hey, then you ain't the killer. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
57:21 I came out here to see to it that nothing happened to prevent Judge Parker from appearing for his trial. You didn't do a very good job of him. That's them afraid the DA will say. Hey, she's the killer.
57:31 Mudd's not like ghost stuff in Mrs. Parker's grave. She tried to get rid of us so she could kill him.
57:36 Is that right?
57:37 Is this boy telling the truth?
57:40 Why did you do it?
57:41 Why did you kill Judge Parker?
57:43 I didn't kill him.
57:44 Oh, I admit I wanted to kill him for the way he treated poor Lenora. Lenora? Lenora was Judge Parker's wife.
57:51 She lived here shunning the world during her last years.
57:55 Because of his cruelty. So killed him for revenge? No, I planned to kill him.
58:00 That's why I pretended to be a ghost, to get these children to leave the manor.
58:03 So when I went to kill him,
58:06 He was dead.
58:07 Stop lying.
58:08 You killed Malcolm Parker.
58:10 I didn't kill him.
58:12 But I'm glad he's dead.
58:15 This is gonna be a long, hard job, and I can do it better without such a large audience.
58:19 If you kids want to help, go and see if you can find the cook.
58:22 The cook!
58:24 That's right, he's still missing. Hey, we looked all over for him before.
58:28 Come on, fellas, let's go. I sure could go for some of that. You know, you and Pewey, we take the dining room. One of them will be upstairs. Okay, go back. Be sure to look everywhere.
58:36 Hey, Scrono. - Yeah? - Find anything? - No, not yet. Did you? - No. Oh, excuse me.
58:45 Ah!
58:47 Oh!
58:51 He's dead! Help! Help! Why did you kill him?
58:57 I didn't kill him.
58:59 I like to cook. Listen, we're going to stay here until you talk.
59:05 I didn't do it. You did it because he saw you kill Parker.
59:10 Didn't you?
59:12 Talk!
59:13 Louise, you've got to get hold of yourself. Tell me who did this and they'll have the murderer.
59:17 I...
59:20 All right.
59:21 I'm all right. What happened? Where's Louise? She ran through there. Somebody was chasing her. All right. You kids go through the tunnel. Okay, but are you all right? Yeah, yeah. I know a shortcut. Get going. Come on, kids.
59:49 Ah!
59:57 - Hey! - Hey!
1:00:00 Bring it in!
1:00:11 Louise.
1:00:17 You ran yourself right into the grave.
1:00:19 Get over there.
1:00:20 Come on.
1:00:28 Hold it!
1:00:33 Hey, I don't know. Come on, boy, Simp.
1:00:37 Here's your murderer. He was the judge's bodyguard. Bodyguard? That's Johnny Harris, Maury's best trigger man.
1:00:45 Simp! Did he do it? Yes. Yes.
1:00:49 Well, lock him up.
1:00:50 That's what we're going to do.
1:00:52 And just so I won't be lonesome, we're gonna lock you up, too. Well, what for? You know all about Judge Parker's business.
1:00:58 And when you tell it to the court, there'll be a lot of New York crooks going up the river.
1:01:02 Well, what do you think of that? Eh, I knew it all the time. Had him pegged right from the start. Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Come on.
1:01:10 Let's get out of here.
1:01:16 I'm going back to town with Mr. Harrison, but with Judge Parker gone, I'll be very much alone. Well, I might be able to find a place for you on our gang.
1:01:26 How about it, boys? Oh, it's a roll! Come on! It's going around, eh? Hey, fellas, look what's coming!
1:01:35 Old boys!
1:01:37 Boys!
1:01:38 Cake!
1:01:47 Ow! What's the matter, ghost? No, that's my hand you eatin', man.
