00:00:00["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:00:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:00:52Your name, please?
00:00:54Marjorie Burns.
00:00:56Your occupation?
00:00:58Well, I was a detective in a department store.
00:01:02What is your name?
00:01:03Jimmy Kelly.
00:01:05I am a detective.
00:01:08At least you two should be able to keep track of each other.
00:01:12Here, you sign right down here.
00:01:14We'd like to get married right away.
00:01:17If you're in a hurry, I'm afraid you're in the wrong state.
00:01:21I have a friend, a justice of the peace across the line.
00:01:25I'd be only too happy to send him a telegram.
00:01:28He'd want me to, to meet you at Red Rock Tavern.
00:01:31Oh, that'd be very nice of you.
00:01:36Are you married?
00:01:38No.
00:01:39I was born this way.
00:01:42["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:02:11["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:02:21["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:02:44This is the kind of night that gives me the willies.
00:02:49Something's always giving you the willies.
00:02:51As soon as I can save enough money, I'm going to get out of here.
00:02:56I want to be where there's light.
00:03:00Sounds like the wailing of ghosts.
00:03:04What makes ghosts wail, Mrs. Jameson?
00:03:08Oh, Bert, don't ask foolish questions.
00:03:11Go and put another log on the fire.
00:03:14Yeah.
00:03:16Say, Mason, why do you think Wentworth asked us to meet him here?
00:03:21I am the slightest idea.
00:03:24But whatever he has on his mind must be important.
00:03:28Bill's message read the same as ours.
00:03:36But what I can't understand is why he wants to see Gloria.
00:03:45You're not bad at this, gang.
00:03:48Have I told you anything yet?
00:03:50Yes, I've taken that journey that you mentioned.
00:03:52And if I place this dark woman properly, you've told me plenty.
00:03:56I should go into this thing as a business instead of...
00:04:03That's a bad card, isn't it?
00:04:09That is the card of death, Harrison.
00:04:13It's funny. I feel all right.
00:04:18Sometimes cards lie.
00:04:22Personally, I haven't much confidence in this sort of thing.
00:04:34That's a bad sign.
00:04:46Well, at any rate, I'll be careful.
00:04:52That's always a good idea.
00:04:56If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go to my room.
00:05:00Certainly.
00:05:30Here we are, honey.
00:05:32You could use a nice fireplace.
00:05:34Can I help you?
00:05:36Yeah, you got a fireplace?
00:05:37We've got one inside.
00:05:39Well, the fireplace won't come to us.
00:05:41I guess we'll have to go to his.
00:05:43He's the James.
00:05:44Here I am, honey.
00:05:54Well, there it is.
00:06:11My name's Kelly.
00:06:12Has there been a man just as of the peace looking for me?
00:06:15No.
00:06:16That's funny.
00:06:17Decidedly inconvenient, too.
00:06:19Well, are you sure you're in the right place?
00:06:21Well, this is the Red Rock Tavern, isn't it?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24Well, if my man shows up, I'll only need one room.
00:06:26If he don't, I'll have to have two.
00:06:35I'm sorry.
00:06:36We can't accommodate you, sir.
00:06:38You can't?
00:06:39No, we haven't any vacancies.
00:06:42Well, that's that.
00:06:44You mind if we hang around a bit until the justice shows up?
00:06:47Why, no.
00:06:49Thanks.
00:06:56Well, what's the good news?
00:06:57All bad, honey.
00:06:58The guy hasn't shown.
00:06:59It looks like we'll have to sleep standing.
00:07:01It's got me, joint like this out in the middle of nowhere,
00:07:04doing more business than the Grand Central Railroad Station.
00:07:07What'll I do with these?
00:07:09Oh, just leave them there.
00:07:12Yes.
00:07:14Oh, what a spot.
00:07:17Is this better than chasing petty thieves through a department store, I ask?
00:07:22Yes, it sure is.
00:07:24Oh, starting to answer your own questions, huh?
00:07:27Now, don't stop me.
00:07:29Oh, I'm full of romance.
00:07:32Must be this tavern.
00:07:34The fireplace.
00:07:36I feel so poetic.
00:07:38I could make love to a snowman.
00:07:40If that justice of the peace doesn't show up, the chances are you'll have to.
00:07:45Oh, dear.
00:07:47You know, it is peaceful here and quiet.
00:07:50It's nice.
00:07:51Down here, man!
00:07:52What was that?
00:07:53It came from Harrison's room.
00:07:58What?
00:08:03What happened?
00:08:04The guards didn't lie.
00:08:06Come on, Jimmy.
00:08:07Wait a minute, punk.
00:08:08You'll have to poke your face in where it doesn't belong.
00:08:11You hug your fire, I'll see what this is all about.
00:08:14I'm through.
00:08:15Through.
00:08:17I can't breathe.
00:08:19It's getting dark.
00:08:22I'm afraid to die.
00:08:28Look at those marks on his throat.
00:08:32That police dog must have done it.
00:08:35Their teeth marks, all right.
00:08:48What's going on here?
00:08:49I don't exactly know.
00:08:50I heard a terrible moan from Mr. Harrison's room.
00:08:54We'll take care of that killer.
00:09:02Well?
00:09:03Harrison's dead.
00:09:05Where are you going?
00:09:06Get my gun.
00:09:07That dog will never attack anyone else.
00:09:26I should have had that dog put out of the way a long time ago.
00:09:30He's a killer, part wolf.
00:09:36Well, what do you think?
00:09:37He hasn't showed up yet.
00:09:39Who?
00:09:40The justice of the peace.
00:09:42No, no, no.
00:09:43I mean about the case.
00:09:44I didn't come here to solve any murder mysteries.
00:09:46My object is marriage.
00:09:51You better be careful of him.
00:09:52Don't worry, I will.
00:10:05You know, it might not be a bad idea to phone the coroner.
00:10:08Yes, surely.
00:10:11I'll do it for you, Mrs. Jameson.
00:10:13Oh, will you please?
00:10:14Gladly.
00:10:18Give me the coroner's office.
00:10:19I knew this would happen.
00:10:21Huh?
00:10:22I warned Harrison.
00:10:28How did you know the dog was going to attack him?
00:10:32I'll tell you something else.
00:10:35Everyone here is in the shadow of death.
00:10:39The same thing that happened to Harrison might happen to you.
00:10:43Or you.
00:10:46Or me.
00:10:47Come on, sister.
00:10:48Let us in on your secret.
00:10:51I read it in the cards.
00:10:53You mean you're a mind reader?
00:10:55Oh, cut it out, honey.
00:10:56A mind reader reads minds.
00:10:58You're letting yourself open for a wisecrack there, Jimmy.
00:11:01Stop your clowning.
00:11:03This is a very serious situation.
00:11:06She reads it in the cards.
00:11:09Personally, I think it's a lot of hoey.
00:11:15And I'd suggest that you get over here as soon as possible.
00:11:19That's fine.
00:11:21Goodbye.
00:11:44I hope he killed that dog.
00:11:46Whether he did or not, I think we'd all better turn in.
00:11:49But what about the coroner?
00:11:51Well, I'll wait up for him.
00:11:53You folks had better get to bed.
00:11:56Say.
00:11:59Couldn't you put us up somewhere for the night?
00:12:01Why, as soon as they take Mr. Harrison's body out, you could have his room.
00:12:08Well, I don't think I could go for that.
00:12:11I'll bunk with Bill.
00:12:12You and your husband can have my room.
00:12:15Well, we're not married yet.
00:12:18I have a large double bed, and if you don't mind, I'd be very glad to share it with you.
00:12:24You can sleep with me.
00:12:26You've got yourself a bed partner, mister.
00:12:28Would you mind helping me upstairs with the bags?
00:12:30The large one goes to this gentleman's room, and the other one goes to the lady's.
00:12:35Yes, sir.
00:12:40Well, I'm retiring. Good night.
00:12:42Good night.
00:12:43Pleasant dreams.
00:12:44You mean pleasant nightmares, don't you?
00:12:48When you come back down, fix the fire for the night.
00:12:51Yes, sir.
00:12:53You'd better stay up.
00:12:54Maybe you'll be able to help the coroner.
00:12:56Oh.
00:12:57I think I can take care of everything.
00:13:00If you're needed, I'll wake you up.
00:13:02Good night.
00:13:04Good night, darling.
00:13:06Hi, dear.
00:13:10Well, he got away from me, but we can set a trap for him in the morning.
00:13:13That sounds like a very sensible idea.
00:13:16We've had enough excitement for one evening.
00:13:18Now, let's go.
00:13:23Has Wentworth shown up yet?
00:13:25No.
00:13:26Well, that's funny.
00:13:27When the justice of the peace shows up, call me.
00:13:30Oh, sure.
00:13:31Must have been something very important to detain him.
00:13:34Oh, no doubt about it.
00:13:36Which room are the girls in?
00:13:38That one.
00:13:44Boo!
00:13:47Did I scare you?
00:13:48Will you please go to bed and stop playing?
00:13:51Good night, dear.
00:13:54Oh.
00:14:01I wonder if I'm making a mistake.
00:14:04Well, he has a sense of humor, hasn't he?
00:14:06Yes, sort of.
00:14:08But even with that handicap, he's the most popular man in the department.
00:14:12The department?
00:14:14Yes.
00:14:15Jimmy's a detective.
00:14:16And if I must say so myself, a mighty good one.
00:14:21Too bad about Harrison.
00:14:24Did you know him?
00:14:25Well, slightly.
00:14:28How long he been down here?
00:14:30Came down this afternoon.
00:14:32On a vacation?
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35Is he working on a case here?
00:14:38Yes, if you can consider me a case.
00:14:42You see, he wants to turn me over to the justice of the peace.
00:14:46It's sort of a light sentence.
00:14:49And believe me, it's one jolt a girl can't be freed from on account of good behavior.
00:14:54No, of course not.
00:14:55Will you excuse me?
00:14:57I'll be back in a minute.
00:14:58Why, certainly.
00:15:00Well, I guess I'll turn in.
00:15:02Hey, wait a minute.
00:15:04Twin beds in there in my room.
00:15:06Why don't you bunk in there with me?
00:15:10Well, that's not a bad idea.
00:15:12Thanks, I will.
00:15:29I thought you were going to bed.
00:15:31I was.
00:15:32You'll excuse us, won't you?
00:15:33Sure, sure, sure, sure.
00:15:50Now, what's wrong?
00:15:51You know the boy who was sharing Bill's room?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:54He's a detective.
00:15:55No.
00:15:56The girl told me.
00:15:57I'm sure we're not responsible for their being here.
00:16:00But I thought I ought to warn you.
00:16:01It's better to be on the safe side.
00:16:09It's Hughes.
00:16:10What's that?
00:16:11Let's find out.
00:16:20Wait a minute.
00:16:22Stay in there, Margie.
00:16:23Let's find out what all this yelling's about.
00:16:31He's dead.
00:16:33Killed just like Harrison.
00:16:46Turn on the lights.
00:16:51It's Hughes.
00:16:53It's Hughes.
00:16:54It's Hughes.
00:16:55It's Hughes.
00:16:56It's Hughes.
00:16:57It's Hughes.
00:16:58It's Hughes.
00:17:14It's a pity he didn't get that dog.
00:17:22This is getting on my nerves.
00:17:24We better lock all the windows.
00:17:26So that animal can't get back in here.
00:17:29I'll lock this one.
00:17:30You fellas take care of the rest of them on the ground floor.
00:17:32Okay.
00:17:39Oh, Nathan.
00:17:41We're all doomed.
00:17:42I can sense it.
00:17:44Pull yourself together.
00:17:46Take care of her, will you please?
00:17:48This place is spooky.
00:17:50Shut up.
00:17:51Isn't it bad enough to have the tavern turned into a madhouse without you wailing all the time?
00:17:59Take a look at the windows, will you?
00:18:04Sure.
00:18:21What's that?
00:18:52How far has the coroner lived from here?
00:18:54Uh, why, about ten miles.
00:18:58They should have been here by now.
00:19:00Maybe I'd better call him again.
00:19:02Supposing I call him this time.
00:19:11Hello?
00:19:12Hello?
00:19:13Hello?
00:19:14Hello?
00:19:15Hello?
00:19:16Hello?
00:19:17Hello?
00:19:18Hello?
00:19:19Hello?
00:19:20Hello?
00:19:51Now what's wrong?
00:19:53That's what I'm going to try and find out.
00:20:20Hmm.
00:20:51Well, that's a clever dog.
00:20:53After he kills his victims, he cuts the telephone wires.
00:20:57What?
00:20:58That's impossible.
00:20:59You're telling me?
00:21:01How do you figure it out?
00:21:03Well, uh, I haven't yet.
00:21:07Of course.
00:21:09You're the logical man to solve this mystery.
00:21:12Now what do you mean by that crack?
00:21:14Being a detective, you're naturally more familiar with murders.
00:21:19That is, if these were murders.
00:21:21Oh, are you a policeman?
00:21:23Well, I am an officer, but I'm traveling incognito.
00:21:27I thought you came in a bus.
00:21:29Shut up.
00:21:33Say, how did you know I was a cop?
00:21:37Your feet gave you away.
00:21:43You're not doing so bad yourself there, partner.
00:21:46You're not doing so bad yourself there, partner.
00:22:12That's Marty!
00:22:17What happened, honey?
00:22:19The dog.
00:22:20He tried to get into my room.
00:22:22Are you sure?
00:22:24What do you mean, am I sure?
00:22:26Do you think I could get in this nervous condition all by myself?
00:22:29I can't understand it.
00:22:31I was practicing to be a dutiful wife.
00:22:46Darling, will you please hush up? Come on.
00:22:52Are you all right?
00:22:53Yes.
00:22:54What do you mean, yes?
00:22:55Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf.
00:22:58Say, you seem sorry I wasn't bitten to death.
00:23:02Margie, will you please hush? Come on.
00:23:04What do you mean, come on?
00:23:05I want to talk to you.
00:23:06But that dog in there...
00:23:07Don't worry, nothing's going to hurt you.
00:23:10Oh, it was nice knowing you, gentlemen.
00:23:17What do you think?
00:23:19Do I have to tell?
00:23:29You know, that girl's troubled with hallucinations.
00:23:33I don't think I'll wait any longer.
00:23:35Will you please make arrangements to have me driven back to town?
00:23:37I'm sorry.
00:23:38We're having a car on the place.
00:23:40You'll have to wait for the morning bus.
00:23:42Well, I don't believe there's a chance of any of us getting much sleep tonight.
00:23:46Suppose I make some coffee.
00:23:48That's a grand idea, Mrs. Jameson.
00:23:50And I second the motion.
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53What makes you so sure that the dog I saw wasn't the one that killed those two men?
00:23:57They were not killed by a dog.
00:24:00Come on, break down.
00:24:02I hate mysteries.
00:24:03Why, I don't even eat hash.
00:24:05Listen, you better sit down again.
00:24:08I just got up.
00:24:10You better as well sit down because what I'm going to tell you is going to knock you down anyway.
00:24:13So just as well relax.
00:24:18See that?
00:24:19Don't tell me you joined the Elks.
00:24:21Oh.
00:24:23That's a dog's tooth.
00:24:24I found it in Hughes' room after he was killed.
00:24:27And get this.
00:24:28That's not the tooth of any live animal.
00:24:31There's no flesh around the end.
00:24:33And the enamel's worn off.
00:24:35What in the world are you driving at?
00:24:37The person that killed those two men used a set of false dog teeth.
00:24:45Say, this is thrilling.
00:24:47Boy, can I use this.
00:24:54Sugar?
00:24:57Harrison always liked coffee.
00:25:00Oh, come on, Gloria.
00:25:01Snap out of it.
00:25:02I wish I could.
00:25:04You have nothing to worry about.
00:25:06All the windows are locked.
00:25:07That's not going to do any good.
00:25:09It's closer than that.
00:25:12I can feel destruction near me.
00:25:17Well, drink your coffee, my dear.
00:25:19I'm sure it will help you.
00:25:21Near me.
00:25:22Well, drink your coffee, my dear.
00:25:24I'm sure it will make you feel better.
00:25:26Now, remember what I told you.
00:25:27The first thing we've got to do is to find a motive.
00:25:30Well, I don't think it's up here.
00:25:32Oh, you're impossible.
00:25:34Come on, five and ten cents store detective.
00:25:38This is certainly grand coffee, Mrs. Jameson.
00:25:43How do you feel now?
00:25:45All right.
00:25:52Well, you're just in time.
00:25:55I hope you don't mind my inviting strangers to your party, Mrs. Jameson.
00:25:59Why, not at all.
00:26:00Bert, bring two more cups.
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:04Well, I see you've pulled yourself together.
00:26:07Yes.
00:26:08Yes, I was a little upset myself.
00:26:11And how do you feel?
00:26:13Oh, never mind.
00:26:14I have a rough idea how you feel.
00:26:16You can joke if you want to.
00:26:18Before this night is over, you'll wish you never came here.
00:26:21Say, what do you think I'm having, a picnic?
00:26:27Oh, thank you, Bert.
00:26:36That must be Wentworth.
00:26:38Maybe he's the justice of the peace.
00:26:48Oh, thank heaven you're here.
00:27:02We thought maybe you had an accident or something.
00:27:04Glad to see you, Wentworth.
00:27:06Sorry if I'm late, Mason, but I left just as soon as I got your wire.
00:27:10You received a message from me?
00:27:13Why, yes.
00:27:16Something queer going on around here.
00:27:18We all received wires to meet you here.
00:27:20That's right.
00:27:21And they were signed Wentworth.
00:27:25It's a trick, Mason.
00:27:27It's a trick.
00:27:30Well, where's Harrison and Hughes?
00:27:32They're dead.
00:27:34What?
00:27:35Yes.
00:27:38I knew this would happen.
00:27:40What happened?
00:27:43Where are you, Jimmy?
00:27:44Here I am.
00:27:45In all of my hand.
00:27:46What's going on here?
00:27:48Must be a fuse burned out.
00:27:50I hope you're right.
00:28:03Oh, now what?
00:28:05There's nothing to worry about.
00:28:07Much.
00:28:09Oh!
00:28:14Oh, now don't tell me that's a canary.
00:28:17You stay right here.
00:28:19Jimmy!
00:28:21Jimmy!
00:28:42Hello, boy.
00:28:44You want to get in where it's warm?
00:28:46Yes, but you want to help me find out who's blaming you for these killings, huh?
00:28:52Let's see if I can find a piece of rope.
00:29:06Ah, this is better.
00:29:34Jimmy!
00:29:42Oh, Jimmy, if this is a gag, I'll break your neck.
00:29:57Jimmy!
00:30:16Can't you fix these lights?
00:30:18This is driving me mad.
00:30:34It's little Jimmy Kelly and I've caught the killer.
00:30:38Oh, I could break your neck.
00:30:40Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:30:59Say, how did you manage to get a hold of him?
00:31:01I found him out there by that shed.
00:31:03He's a wild baby, all right, but I don't think he'll cause us any more trouble now.
00:31:06I'll say he won't.
00:31:09Are you sure this is the dog we want?
00:31:11Positively.
00:31:12I saw him in Harrison's room.
00:31:14You killer.
00:31:19This is the animal that killed Harrison and Hughes.
00:31:23Have you got a gun?
00:31:24No.
00:31:25Well, Hughes had one.
00:31:29Don't go in there, Mr. Mason.
00:31:32Why not?
00:31:33He's dead.
00:31:36Well, that is news.
00:32:03I'm sure he wants to get rid of this dog,
00:32:06but I can't understand why Jameson said he was part wolf.
00:32:11I think I got the motive.
00:32:12What is it?
00:32:13Revenge.
00:32:15Revenge of what and by whom?
00:32:20Well, I didn't get that far, but...
00:32:31Huh?
00:32:32What do you harn me for?
00:32:33Well, didn't you say something?
00:32:35No.
00:32:36Oh, I must have been hearing things.
00:32:39You're beginning to get warnings, just like I did.
00:32:46Oh, they must have paid their light bill.
00:32:50You know, there's something that I'm going to train you to do after we get married.
00:32:54What's that?
00:32:55Keep quiet.
00:32:58I guess Mason's having trouble finding that gun.
00:33:01I'll go get my hand.
00:33:02Yeah, and hurry it up.
00:33:14Something's happened to Mason.
00:33:19Here.
00:33:20Hold that dog.
00:33:21Get that dog.
00:33:30He's dead, all right, and killed the same way as the others.
00:33:33But that's impossible.
00:33:35The dog was in there, muzzled.
00:33:37And it wasn't the dog.
00:33:38How could it be?
00:33:39You're right.
00:33:40These men were killed by a human,
00:33:42who in some way used dog's teeth in order to throw the suspicion off of himself.
00:33:46I've known this for an hour.
00:33:48I suspected Mason as being the guilty person.
00:33:51I tried to trap him.
00:33:54I'll have to ask you all to line up in the next room.
00:33:57What right have you to tell us what to do?
00:33:59He's a detective or something.
00:34:02Come on, line up in the next room.
00:34:04And who are you?
00:34:05I'm something, too.
00:34:07You heard her.
00:34:17Now, I'll have to take charge.
00:34:19We all know this animal didn't kill anybody.
00:34:21Let him loose.
00:34:24Well, this is terrible.
00:34:26I don't know what to do.
00:34:28We may all be killed.
00:34:30Probably the killers in this room right now.
00:34:33Where's the nearest telephone around here?
00:34:35The gas station about two miles down the road.
00:34:37I want you to phone as quickly as you can and have the police come here.
00:34:41Yes, sir.
00:34:42Hey, and bring the coroner along, too.
00:34:45All right, folks.
00:34:47Line up.
00:34:48Let's do this thing systematically.
00:34:51What's the idea?
00:34:53If anybody's got any guns on them around here, I want to know where they are.
00:34:58Right.
00:34:59But there hasn't been any gunplay?
00:35:00No, there isn't going to be any.
00:35:03All right, fellas.
00:35:05Don't you think it was a bad idea to send that man for the police?
00:35:08I'll ask all the questions, my friend.
00:35:11Come on, Pollyanna.
00:35:13And I hope you're not ticklish.
00:35:18Please, Mrs. Jameson.
00:35:31Come on, Pollyanna.
00:35:34My, my, you should reduce.
00:35:39I'm sorry.
00:35:43I don't suppose you can get out of that chair.
00:35:47I could if you would help me.
00:35:49Surely.
00:36:04All right.
00:36:18You understand?
00:36:20Certainly.
00:36:24I was anxious to have this murderer caught as you are.
00:36:28Maybe more so.
00:36:31I wouldn't have a chance to fight for my life.
00:36:34There, there, Mr. Jameson.
00:36:35Don't excite yourself.
00:36:37Now that we've exposed the killer's methods, maybe he won't strike again.
00:36:41Let us hope not.
00:36:48Where do you keep your guest register?
00:36:50On the hotel desk.
00:36:52Well, that's kind of natural.
00:36:56How am I doing, babe?
00:37:00Harrison's from Philadelphia,
00:37:02Hughes from Portland, Mason from Chicago,
00:37:05and Gloria Roloff from Mexico City.
00:37:09Why didn't you tell me there was a copper here?
00:37:12We didn't know it ourselves until a few minutes before you arrived.
00:37:14We had no way of warning you.
00:37:17It's all clear to me now.
00:37:19He's the one that sent us those wires.
00:37:21That's possible.
00:37:23But it still doesn't account for the murders.
00:37:26No.
00:37:27They're from all parts of the country.
00:37:29Maybe it's a convention.
00:37:38Come here, you three.
00:37:45Sit down. I want to ask you people a few questions.
00:37:48Well, what's on your mind?
00:37:51Tell me, how did it happen that six people,
00:37:53you and the three men that were murdered,
00:37:55got here at practically the same time?
00:37:58Well, it might have been a coincidence.
00:38:01That's right, but it wasn't.
00:38:02This isn't the tourist season.
00:38:03Matter of fact, there hasn't been a guest in this tavern for two weeks.
00:38:06Now, just a minute.
00:38:08Are you trying to solve this mystery or pin something on me?
00:38:12Both.
00:38:13I have a hunch that you and your party came here with one definite purpose.
00:38:17If you wouldn't mind telling me who suggested this place to you,
00:38:20we might be able to clear this whole situation up.
00:38:22Well, I got a message from Harrison and this gentleman here.
00:38:27I thought you only knew Harrison slightly.
00:38:30That's my business.
00:38:32Maybe so.
00:38:33But it might interest you to know that whoever got you here,
00:38:36got you here with one idea in mind.
00:38:39And what was that?
00:38:40To kill you all.
00:38:42I knew it.
00:38:45I knew it.
00:38:47So, you see, gentlemen, the only way for you to help yourselves is to come clean.
00:38:52We'll do anything we can to help you.
00:38:54Why, certainly. Of course we will.
00:38:56Now, gentlemen, that we understand each other,
00:38:59is there anyone you know who would want to put you out of the way?
00:39:02That is, individually, or shall we say as a gang?
00:39:06No.
00:39:08Take a look through the luggage, kid.
00:39:09Maybe you can find a clue.
00:39:10Mrs. Jamieson.
00:39:11Yes?
00:39:13Would you mind going with her, please?
00:39:15Why, certainly not.
00:39:17Let's go.
00:39:26I'm not much on this detective business,
00:39:28but if it's true that somebody planned to get these people here to kill them,
00:39:32then there are only three people who can be considered suspects.
00:39:36And those are myself, my wife, and Bert.
00:39:40Surely you have servants around this place.
00:39:42Yes, we have two maids, but they left shortly after dinner.
00:39:45How do you know they didn't come back?
00:39:46Just a minute.
00:39:47What was your idea?
00:39:49He could have done it.
00:39:50He could have even cut the telephone wires.
00:39:53But I didn't.
00:39:55Mr. Jamieson didn't say that you did.
00:39:57He said that you could have.
00:39:59Mr. Jamieson didn't say that you did.
00:40:01He said that you could have.
00:40:03How do we know that Hughes wasn't killed until after this man went into his room?
00:40:09What?
00:40:12Well, I could have done it too.
00:40:15I was just getting around to that.
00:40:21Perhaps it's in the closet.
00:40:23Yep.
00:40:24We'll soon find out if that gal brought any of her secrets with her.
00:40:29Oh, I'm tired of all this. I'm leaving.
00:40:31Oh, you're not.
00:40:32One of Mr. Jamieson's three guesses might be right.
00:40:34But I can clear myself easily enough.
00:40:36The bus driver can verify that I...
00:40:37You're staying just the same.
00:40:39Say!
00:40:41You could be the guy that's doing the dirty work.
00:40:44I've heard phony detectives before.
00:40:46Wait a minute.
00:40:47Now let's try and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:49Would you folks mind telling me what racket you're in?
00:41:00Chances are we'll find the deck of cards.
00:41:04This is one time I won't do you any good not to talk.
00:41:20Why, you...
00:41:29Come on, let's get out of here.
00:41:39It's locked.
00:41:40We can get out of under the window.
00:41:41Well, let's hurry.
00:41:43Come on.
00:41:59Well, we can't get out here.
00:42:02There are no bars on the windows in Harrison's room.
00:42:04Where is it?
00:42:05Follow me.
00:42:14Windows!
00:42:15Down the window.
00:42:19There is a trap to kill us all.
00:42:21Wait a minute.
00:42:22Maybe that detective can help us.
00:42:24We're trapped.
00:42:29Oh, we're caged like a bunch of rats.
00:42:31Oh, I owe you some.
00:42:34Wait a minute, buddy.
00:42:35Now, hold it.
00:42:36Now, just a minute.
00:42:37We made a mistake.
00:42:38We shouldn't have done it.
00:42:39Your life is just as much danger as ours.
00:42:41Listen to me, will you?
00:42:42The door is bolted.
00:42:43All the windows are barred.
00:42:44We're gonna die, all of us.
00:42:45You gotta help us.
00:42:46Somebody's gotta help us.
00:42:47Come on, buddy.
00:42:48I don't see what I can do.
00:42:49Oh, we've made enemies.
00:42:51Lots of them.
00:42:52We've been smuggling jewels across the border.
00:42:55Oh, I see.
00:43:07Hey, wait a minute.
00:43:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:43:22Jewel thieves.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:25Oh, why, look.
00:43:27Here's one as big as a hen's egg.
00:43:30Boy, I'd like to be able to find the hen that could lay that egg.
00:43:34Gee.
00:43:40Well, at least we know what their racket is.
00:43:43Can't you think of some person or persons that would want to get you out of the way?
00:43:47How about that guy that accidentally fell off the truck about a year ago?
00:43:51You know, he blamed us.
00:43:52Oh, no.
00:43:53We took care of him.
00:44:04Mrs. Jameson, I'd like to ask you a question.
00:44:06Yes, what is it?
00:44:08Did you build this place?
00:44:09No.
00:44:12Why?
00:44:13Why do you ask?
00:44:14Well, from what these people tell me, it was constructed for just such a situation as this.
00:44:18Why, I don't understand.
00:44:20Every window in this place is barred.
00:44:23I can't believe that.
00:44:28Oh, Jimmy.
00:44:30What is it?
00:44:32Come here a minute, will you?
00:44:35I'll show you.
00:44:39Jimmy.
00:44:41Huh?
00:44:42I want to talk to you.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:45I've got a clue.
00:44:46You have?
00:44:47Uh-huh.
00:44:48They're jewel smugglers.
00:44:52You're terrific.
00:44:54I'll still show you.
00:45:04There you are.
00:45:05Why?
00:45:06I can't understand it.
00:45:36I'll show you.
00:46:00I've got to see you.
00:46:02Oh, please don't bother me.
00:46:03Can't you see I'm in enough trouble?
00:46:05Why this place?
00:46:06Why, we read it from a Mr. Morgan.
00:46:09He's the owner.
00:46:10Oh, Jimmy, look.
00:46:11Oh, please, hush.
00:46:12What kind of a man is this Morgan?
00:46:15Very odd.
00:46:16He wears large spectacles.
00:46:18He's an inventor, a scientist.
00:46:21When did you see him last?
00:46:22Well, that's strange, but we haven't seen him since the day we took the place.
00:46:26Neither he nor a representative have called to collect the rent.
00:46:30Would you know where to reach him?
00:46:31No, he said he'd get in touch with us.
00:46:36Got another clue?
00:46:37Yes.
00:46:38Well, keep it.
00:46:44Do you know a man by the name of Morgan?
00:46:46Morgan?
00:46:47Yes, I know several men by the name of Morgan.
00:46:50One of them was an inventor.
00:46:52We financed him.
00:46:53Would there be any reason for this man wanting to kill you?
00:46:56No.
00:46:57That is, if I...
00:46:58Jimmy, I must see you.
00:47:00Well, take a good look.
00:47:02This is important.
00:47:06What's the big idea?
00:47:09I think Jameson is the man we want.
00:47:12For what?
00:47:13Listen, Jimmy.
00:47:14I saw him get out of his chair and walk.
00:47:17Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:19What do you think I've been trailing you around for?
00:47:22Exercise?
00:47:23Oh, stop clowning.
00:47:25Are you sure you saw him walk?
00:47:26Positive.
00:47:27I always thought there was something phony about that guy.
00:47:31Where's his room?
00:47:33Where's his room?
00:47:42Did you want to see me?
00:47:55Why, uh, yes.
00:47:59Mr. Jameson, I...
00:48:00I've been thinking over what you said about those three out there,
00:48:02and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you didn't come pretty close to hitting the nail on the head.
00:48:06I'm going to question them further, and I'd like to have you give me a hand.
00:48:09You could watch their reactions.
00:48:12I'd be glad to help.
00:48:19Now, let's get back to this Morgan fellow.
00:48:21How long has it been since you've seen him?
00:48:23Oh, about six months.
00:48:26That was about the time you took this place, wasn't it, Mrs. Jameson?
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:59Mr. Jameson?
00:49:29Did this Morgan fellow make any threats against you?
00:49:58you know not exactly.
00:50:10James and could I have a glass of water please why certainly I'll take these
00:50:16things out to.
00:50:17You. Find anything.
00:50:31Give.
00:50:42There's some belongs to you the dog's head. Where did you find that don't you
00:50:46remember where you put it. I must be some mistake or he can't be the killer that's
00:50:53what you think. You mean. You suspect me of these crimes yes.
00:51:00But but I'm
00:51:01a helpless invalid I can't even get out of this chair that's what we thought but I
00:51:07thought you'd get out of that chair and walk why did you kill Harrison Hughes and
00:51:11Mason why do you want to kill us release us from here. Come on confess.
00:51:20I'm the man you want I killed him I wanted to kill all of you too.
00:51:27You want. I'm the murderer. I can't believe it's true.
00:51:35I thought I could get away with it. You see I can walk.
00:51:41I can walk.
00:51:52I've got strength in my hands to. Put it on like this. And then I go but I thought.
00:51:59I got a not so fast.
00:52:11I'm sorry. I guess I was mad with hatred.
00:52:17Take me away. I'm your man. Why did you do this.
00:52:27You wouldn't understand. Get that rope over there but tie his hands up until the
00:52:32police come why did you commit this crime. I'm not going to do it.
00:52:36Get that rope over there but tie his hands up until the police come why did you
00:52:40commit these crimes. Well.
00:52:47What do you care I've confessed haven't I.
00:53:06It's not much I can say. But I really feel sorry for you.
00:54:36And.
00:54:50Certainly it's tough on Mrs Jameson. Yeah I'm sure glad we caught him.
00:54:56And.
00:55:06You've done this well job honey I'm kind of proud of you it's nice to hear you say
00:55:11that to me. I wonder who he's trying to cover up.
00:55:20Jameson. What are you talking about. He's not guilty.
00:55:27If he was he'd know why he committed those crimes wouldn't he.
00:55:35Yeah. I guess so.
00:55:41Wait a minute.
00:56:26Yeah.
00:56:31Yeah.
00:56:33Yeah.

01:03:16Yeah.
01:03:17Yeah.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:19can't understand is why is Jameson trying to cover you up. What are you talking
01:03:25about he confessed he killed those three men what three men why Harrison Mason and
01:03:32you. Are they dead. Didn't you know that.
01:03:41No then you're on a spot to. What do you mean never mind that how did you get in
01:03:48there. Through that window then we can get out that way.
01:04:05Why doesn't he kill us instead of torturing us this way. There should be no escape
01:04:10for you know. You must. Where's Mrs Jameson the last time I saw
01:04:18her was when I followed her down here you follow her yeah I had
01:04:21a hunch but she isn't here now but then she came up to the lobby before I did it
01:04:26any of you see it no I didn't then she's between here and the lobby.
01:04:42With someone trying to tell me what's going on around here.
01:04:48What. Say your prayers your time on this earth is
01:04:56limited to. All of you must die.
01:05:03In this life that you are about to leave. The innocent.
01:05:09Must suffer. Yes just like I have suffered you're
01:05:16insane if I am when worse than his crowd have made me so. You didn't think you'd
01:05:24have to answer to me did you. I don't know what you're talking about you wouldn't.
01:05:32You are very clever but you're not as resourceful as
01:05:36a person fired with vengeance the desire to write
01:05:40a great wrong give us
01:05:42a chance Mrs Jameson. Give you a chance you
01:05:49didn't give Helen Armstrong a chance did you have it I'm strong what she got to do
01:05:56with your mother he hasn't called. Everything. You framed an innocent young girl
01:06:03to smuggle jewels across the border and then rather than face the disgrace of
01:06:08going to prison she killed herself. From that day I determined
01:06:15that you were all under sentence of death. And now.
01:06:24I'm ready to carry out your execution Helen Armstrong.
01:06:29Was my sister when my husband first realized I'd use the dog's
01:06:36teeth to kill he utilized almost superhuman strength to protect me.
01:06:43He even confessed to my crimes knowing it was my love for Helen that brought you
01:06:49all here.
01:06:54I want you to look. Carefully.
01:07:00In the ceiling. There you'll see
01:07:04a little glass.
01:07:10All I have to do is to pull this call. It will drop among you.
01:07:17The panel will close. And you'll be caught like rats in
01:07:22a trap.
01:07:29But. When you were all dead.
01:07:37I will burn the tavern. And destroy all the evidence.
01:07:50Jameson.
01:07:59I wonder what this means I don't know it wasn't this way when I left.
01:08:16There's
01:08:16a few customers for you. Book her for murder. They're smugglers here's
01:08:23a good full of evidence I'm sorry it took me so long but right this way.
01:08:29Pardon me but I'm the justice of the peace. I thought you told me to get
01:08:36a justice of the peace. If I'm not greatly mistaken we did want to see this
01:08:41gentleman why sure that's what we came here for.
01:08:50Step into the church. Do your stuff just as you take this woman to be your lawful
01:08:55wife I do you take this man to be. I then declare you.
