00:01:00Hey, Warden, when's he go?
00:01:09They're taking him down now.
00:01:10I guess that pink slip ain't coming, Warden.
00:01:13Looks bad.
00:01:14How do you think he'll take it?
00:01:15Like a soldier, my boy.
00:01:16Like a soldier.
00:01:17No ketchup?
00:01:19This is the worst last meal I ever had.
00:01:21Sorry, Jackson.
00:01:22Here's the Warden.
00:01:23Oh, sure glad to see you, Warden.
00:01:26So the Governor came through with that stay, huh?
00:01:28I knew he would.
00:01:29He's a good guy.
00:01:30I'm sorry, Jackson.
00:01:31No word from the Governor.
00:01:32Yeah, well, I was sorry.
00:01:33No...
00:01:34No word?
00:01:35No word, huh?
00:01:36Well, I don't know who to vote for next time.
00:01:37Come along, Jackson.
00:01:38Nice, cozy little nook.
00:02:02Oh, so that's it, huh?
00:02:07Mind if I take a look?
00:02:09I wouldn't advise it.
00:02:10You're getting soft, Warden.
00:02:16Gas.
00:02:18Haven't even put in electricity.
00:02:21Right on air, Jackson.
00:02:29Jackson, I'm going to grant you a special privilege
00:02:32not often given to a man in your position.
00:02:35It's what you asked for.
00:02:37A chance to tell you a story to the newspapers.
00:02:40To get it off your chest.
00:02:42Thanks, Warden.
00:02:44See you in a while, Jackson.
00:02:47I'll be right here.
00:02:49Oh, Mr. Jackson, I think you're wonderful.
00:02:52You've really got what it takes.
00:02:54Well, I ain't exactly a cream puff.
00:02:56Cigarette?
00:02:57Never mind.
00:02:58Thanks, George.
00:02:59Might be a saw on that one.
00:03:01Oh, well, you've got what I call guts.
00:03:04The way I figured, anybody got a match?
00:03:06Hey, I...
00:03:08The way I figured, if a guy feels in his heart he's taking a phony rap,
00:03:12well, it's not so tough to kick the bucket.
00:03:15It's not so tough to walk that last mile.
00:03:18It's just tough to light a cigarette, that's all.
00:03:23Say, Jackson, how'd you get into this mess?
00:03:26Was it a woman?
00:03:28It's always a woman.
00:03:30You should have seen this woman.
00:03:32Smooth satin.
00:03:33Beautiful blue eyes.
00:03:35Dark silken hair.
00:03:37Kind of a gal that'd make you want to give away your last shirt.
00:03:41I borrowed this from the Warden.
00:03:42This girl, how'd you meet her?
00:03:43Did she come up to your office?
00:03:44Did you fall in love with her?
00:03:45Wait a minute.
00:03:46One at a time.
00:03:47You may not know this, but I wasn't always a detective.
00:03:50Before they pinned this murder rap on me,
00:03:52I had one of the sweetest little rackets in San Francisco.
00:03:54A legitimate business?
00:03:55Better than legitimate.
00:03:56It was profitable.
00:03:58My office was in the Trafalgar building, just on the edge of Chinatown.
00:04:01Oh, in Chinatown.
00:04:03No, not right in.
00:04:04You know California Street from the hill at Stockton?
00:04:07Yeah.
00:04:08Well, coming down the hill in the cable car,
00:04:10you could just see my office.
00:04:12Third floor front.
00:04:14Ronnie was the name.
00:04:16Ronnie, baby photographer.
00:04:18I'll never forget that day.
00:04:19For two hours, I'd been trying to make that little brat smile.
00:04:22I threw the book at him every surefire trick of the trade.
00:04:31And then...
00:04:45This kid's going to grow up to be a sponsor.
00:04:48He's even wearing out the lights.
00:04:50Oh, oh!
00:04:53Craig, snap it.
00:04:55Watch the birdie.
00:04:56Watch the birdie.
00:04:58There you are.
00:04:59Another masterpiece.
00:05:00Sweetums, you're wonderful.
00:05:03You're wonderful too, Mr. Jackson.
00:05:05Well, that's because I was a kid once myself.
00:05:14I'm just dying to see those proofs.
00:05:16When will they be ready?
00:05:17Oh, the first thing in the morning, Mrs. Fong.
00:05:19Good.
00:05:20And I'm sure you'll like them.
00:05:21Well, goodbye.
00:05:22You little rascal, you.
00:05:27Give Mr. Jackson back his paper.
00:05:30Oh, oh, oh.
00:05:32Doesn't he get meat at home?
00:05:34You happy little gourmet.
00:05:37He's sweet, though.
00:05:39Let me see.
00:05:40Uh-huh.
00:05:42Baby photographer.
00:05:43A fine job for a two-fisted he-man like Ronnie Jackson.
00:05:47Well, I'd promised to have pictures of the kid ready by morning,
00:05:49so I got to work and develop them.
00:05:51Must have been about 20 minutes later,
00:05:53a half hour or something like that,
00:05:55when I heard a door slam in the hallway outside.
00:05:57I knew it was Sam McCloud coming back to his office from a busy day
00:06:00pinning the goods on a few assorted crooks and murders.
00:06:03Sam McCloud, the coolest, toughest private eye in the business.
00:06:07You see, I wanted to be a detective, too.
00:06:09It only took brains, courage, and a gun,
00:06:12and I had the gun.
00:06:14I'd figured out a way for Sam to hire me,
00:06:16so I started across the hall.
00:06:18Already I could see my name in big letters.
00:06:21Ronnie Jackson, private eye.
00:06:23What I didn't see was the small print underneath.
00:06:25Rest in peace.
00:06:29Yeah, well, don't worry your pretty little head about it, baby.
00:06:32I'm catching a rattler for Chirac, man.
00:06:34Hi, Sam.
00:06:35Oh, listen, baby, it'll take more than a couple of hopped-up gunsels
00:06:38with itchy fingers to scare me off.
00:06:40Yeah.
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:42We'll have to talk that over some rainy night in front of a nice warm fire.
00:06:46I'll bring the matches.
00:06:48Come on.
00:06:50What's on your mind, Ronnie?
00:06:52Matches.
00:06:53No, I mean, look, Sam.
00:06:55It came today, license and everything.
00:06:57Now can I be your partner?
00:06:59I told you before, stick to watching the bird in, you'll die of old age.
00:07:02Oh, yeah, but I was cut out for this kind of life.
00:07:04All my life I wanted to be a hard-boiled detective like Humphrey Bogart
00:07:07or Dick Powell or even Alan Ladd.
00:07:11You know, and have those beautiful women coming into the office
00:07:13and those warm fires on those rainy nights.
00:07:15That's the kind of life I want.
00:07:17How about it, Sam?
00:07:23Huh?
00:07:26Smooth, huh?
00:07:28Say, I can be a lot of help to you, Sam.
00:07:30Look, here's my latest invention right here.
00:07:32A camera with a keyhole lens.
00:07:35Takes pictures right through doors.
00:07:37I've been kicked out of five hotels already.
00:07:41How about it, Sam?
00:07:42Can I go to work for you?
00:07:44Just give me a simple yes or no.
00:07:46No.
00:07:48Oh, but that's too simple.
00:07:50Why don't you give it a little thought?
00:07:52I'm going to Chicago for a few days.
00:07:55I'll leave the door open so you can come through and answer the phone.
00:08:06A little stiff.
00:08:12I could go with you. I've got a coat just like that.
00:08:15I could help you out quite a bit in case you're running any keyhole work or...
00:08:19You're sure there's nothing I can do for you?
00:08:21Yeah, you can keep your nose clean.
00:08:26That's the last chance I'll give him.
00:08:29Keep my nose clean, answer the phone.
00:08:32I ought to go in business for myself.
00:08:35Ronnie Jackson, the private eye.
00:08:39I could catch those gunned-up hopsles over a warm fire even if it wasn't raining.
00:08:45Drink as much as he can.
00:08:51Yeah.
00:08:57Smooth.
00:09:17Shh.
00:09:22Shh.
00:09:29I suppose you wonder why I act this way.
00:09:31Oh, no, every girl that comes in here does that.
00:09:36I need a detective. Please say that you'll help me.
00:09:39Yeah, well, look, I'm just...
00:09:40Please, Mr. McCloud, please.
00:09:44Just call me Sam.
00:09:46This is my type of case.
00:09:49Spill it, sister.
00:09:50My name is Carlotta Monte.
00:09:53Baroness Monte.
00:09:55A baroness?
00:09:58I feel as though someone's watching me.
00:10:00Yeah, that's me.
00:10:05I arrived here three days ago in the Queen of Peru with a baron, my husband.
00:10:10Oh, you've got a husband.
00:10:15This was taken the day we arrived.
00:10:18You caught him cutting a San Francisco citizen. He must rate.
00:10:21I'm in trouble. Deep trouble.
00:10:24What's the wheelchair for?
00:10:25My husband is an invalid. He hasn't been out of that wheelchair in seven years.
00:10:30You're in trouble. Keep talking.
00:10:33At the dock, I went ahead to clear our luggage through customs.
00:10:38I was gone five, ten minutes at the most.
00:10:41When I returned, he had disappeared.
00:10:43A snatch job, huh? Have you gone to the police?
00:10:46No, no, no.
00:10:48If I go to the police, they'll kill him.
00:10:52Who's they?
00:10:53That's what I want you to find out.
00:10:57Look, I have no money, but this ring can be pawned anywhere for at least $5,000.
00:11:05Oh, look, sister, five grand is a lot of moolah. You don't have to...
00:11:08The ring is nothing.
00:11:10We Monte is a generous.
00:11:12If you will just find my husband, I will be so grateful.
00:11:16You will see.
00:11:18I'll bring the matches.
00:11:20Oh, but this isn't necessary.
00:11:26What's the matter?
00:11:28Listen, they mustn't find me here.
00:11:31Well, I don't hear anything.
00:11:33Be at this address as soon as you can.
00:11:38Will five minutes be too soon?
00:11:47We're dealing with dangerous men.
00:11:50Be careful.
00:11:52They mustn't know you're a detective.
00:11:53Don't worry your pretty little head about it, honey. I'll find your husband.
00:11:56Fool that I am.
00:11:59Somebody's coming.
00:12:04Guard this map with your life.
00:12:06With my life?
00:12:08Hurry.
00:12:17Oh, it's you, Mabel.
00:12:20I'm sorry.
00:12:21Here.
00:12:22There you are.
00:12:24Come in the studio some night after hours and I'll take your picture when everybody's gone.
00:12:27No charge.
00:12:29Except for the negatives.
00:12:31Come right in.
00:12:33Prints are a dollar and a half.
00:12:34Anytime.
00:12:35Come right in.
00:12:37Prints are a dollar and a half.
00:12:38Anytime.
00:13:06Aha.
00:13:07Well, what are you waiting for? You want to be a detective, don't you?
00:13:12Let me see. What was that address?
00:13:17Oh, the map.
00:13:18My life.
00:13:30Smooth.
00:13:36Small bullets.
00:13:41Oh.
00:13:42Ain't this your camera, Ronnie?
00:13:44Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:13:46Well, say, you don't have to pull no gun on me to kiss me.
00:13:51Anytime.
00:13:52Yes.
00:13:56Well, there I was on my own.
00:13:58Missing husband and daughter.
00:14:01Well, there I was on my own.
00:14:03Missing husband and a dark-eyed dreamboat up to her gorgeous lips in trouble.
00:14:07What a parley.
00:14:09And, oh, yeah, that mysterious map.
00:14:11The whole thing just like you'd read it in the detective magazine.
00:14:14I had my car for the address the doll gave me and it turns out this place is practically a sleeper jump from town.
00:14:20Anyway, later that afternoon I'm driving through the gates of one of those upper bracket estates down in the peninsula.
00:14:26Pretty soon I come to another gate.
00:14:28That should have been my cue to put the car in reverse.
00:14:31And then I got a load of the mansion.
00:14:33Boy, what a joint.
00:14:35Must have been something left over from Wuthering Heights.
00:14:38You know, the kind of a house that looks like you can hunt quail in the hallways.
00:14:42I didn't know it then, but I was going to be the quail.
00:14:48Beautiful day, isn't it?
00:14:53Well, maybe it isn't so beautiful.
00:14:59It is day, though.
00:15:02But it's late.
00:15:04Sort of.
00:15:12Allow me.
00:15:18Oh, Dr. Landau.
00:15:20Good afternoon, sir.
00:15:21Good afternoon, Kismet.
00:15:23Yes?
00:15:25Baroness Montay is expecting me.
00:15:28Pronto.
00:15:29Oh, yes. Won't you come in?
00:15:31Pronto.
00:15:36Nice, cheerful place.
00:15:37What time they bring the mummies out?
00:15:39It's very amusing, sir.
00:15:41Madame Le Baroness is in the living room.
00:15:43Shall I announce you?
00:15:44Never mind. I'll take it from here.
00:15:46May I help you with your overcoat?
00:15:49Oh, be a pardon, sir. You can't.
00:15:51Yeah, I'm roughing it.
00:15:54Here we are.
00:15:55Thanks, Cuddles.
00:15:58Very amusing.
00:16:14Miss Montay?
00:16:15Hello.
00:16:16Pretty song, isn't it?
00:16:19Yeah, it's pretty. But you were so anxious...
00:16:29Through the winter storm
00:16:33Or here beside you
00:16:38I'm forever warm
00:16:42I'm not stealing daydreams
00:16:48It isn't any crime
00:16:53To want to be beside you
00:16:59Till there's no more time
00:17:07Quick. Quick.
00:17:10First, I must know this.
00:17:11Are you a man who is afraid of danger?
00:17:13No, you can get as close as you like.
00:17:15Baby, we're in this together. I'm with you till my dying breath.
00:17:18Please, you mustn't.
00:17:19Yeah, better not leave any fingerprints.
00:17:21Listen closely.
00:17:23My uncle, Baron Montay, came to this country.
00:17:26Your uncle?
00:17:27Yes.
00:17:28Yeah, but I thought you said the guy was your husband.
00:17:30Well, I...
00:17:33I had to have your help.
00:17:34I know men.
00:17:36Somehow, they always seem to be more interested in the problems of young wives with older husbands.
00:17:42Oh, no. It just seems that way to you.
00:17:45Please, listen.
00:17:47My uncle came to this country on a very important mission.
00:17:50So important that he wouldn't tell anyone about it. Not even me.
00:17:54Your uncle, huh? So he's not your husband.
00:17:56Well, did I quote you any rates? I may work cheaper, you know.
00:17:59Please, not now.
00:18:01Too fast, huh?
00:18:02Okay.
00:18:04Tell me.
00:18:05Did your uncle have any enemies?
00:18:08Not that I know of.
00:18:09Uh-huh.
00:18:11And how about this house?
00:18:13Who lives here?
00:18:14It belongs to a Major Simon Montague.
00:18:17He was a former business partner of the Baron's.
00:18:20When my uncle disappeared, I... I was frantic.
00:18:24So I called Major Montague and he offered to help me.
00:18:27Uh-huh. And what do you know about it?
00:18:30My uncle trusted him implicitly.
00:18:33And still, he treats me like a child.
00:18:37Tells me not to worry.
00:18:39Says that he's handling things.
00:18:41And all the time, I feel as though I'm being watched.
00:18:47And he's been so sweet and kind ever since my arrival.
00:18:52Getting kind of dark in here, isn't it?
00:18:54We were just talking about you.
00:18:56Something flattering, I hope.
00:18:59Maybe I should have listened a minute.
00:19:01If there's anything warms my heart,
00:19:03it's finding out people like me as much as I like them.
00:19:07I don't believe I've had the honor, sir.
00:19:09Oh, uh, Mr. Craig.
00:19:10Oh, hi, Mr. Craig. Glad to see you.
00:19:12I thought your name was Craig.
00:19:14Yeah, I'm Craig too. That's quite a coincidence.
00:19:16This is Major Montague. I met Mr. Craig on shipboard.
00:19:19I'm still a little seasick.
00:19:21Well, it's a pleasure knowing you, son.
00:19:23Anything I can do for you while you're in the country,
00:19:25you just speak up.
00:19:26Oh, thank you, sir.
00:19:28Would you have a cigar?
00:19:29No, thanks. I'm driving. I...
00:19:31Craig. Craig. Yeah.
00:19:33Now, where have I heard that name before?
00:19:37Madam, there's a phone call for you.
00:19:40Please take the message.
00:19:41After all, Carlotta, it may be important.
00:19:44Yes, you're quite right.
00:19:48Excuse me, Mr. Craig.
00:19:50Excuse me, Mr. Craig.
00:19:56All right, sir.
00:19:58Now we'll quit playing possum.
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:00How do you do, Mr. McCloud?
00:20:02Well, how are you...
00:20:05Oh, Craig is the name. Elliot Craig.
00:20:07I was... I was shipboard and...
00:20:10Oh.
00:20:11Oh, you know that you're a private detective.
00:20:14Oh, yeah. Yeah, yes.
00:20:16Sam. Just call me Sam.
00:20:18Just to show you my heart's in the right place,
00:20:20I'm going to help you do a little detecting.
00:20:22Okay. This way, son.
00:20:24Coming, Dad.
00:20:26I may have a little surprise for you.
00:20:31You'll pardon us, gentlemen?
00:20:32Certainly.
00:20:33This is Mr. McCloud.
00:20:34Mr. McCloud, I'd like you to meet...
00:20:36The man in the picture. Baron Montay.
00:20:38How do you do?
00:20:39Yeah, but she... she said you'd been snatched.
00:20:42You have my word for it, young man.
00:20:44I'm not a mirage.
00:20:46Yeah, but she told me she seemed so...
00:20:49I don't get it.
00:20:51Such a lovely girl.
00:20:52The very flower of young womanhood, too.
00:20:54Perhaps, uh, Dr. Lundau can tell you about her.
00:20:57I believe you've met the doctor.
00:21:03Oh, yes, we had a long talk outside.
00:21:05Beautiful day, isn't it?
00:21:07I said that.
00:21:09Well, Mr. McCloud, as you perhaps know,
00:21:11it is not the habit of a psychiatrist
00:21:13to put on display these skeletons
00:21:15in anyone's family closets.
00:21:17However, I believe you are entitled to an explanation
00:21:20of the strange behavior of Baron Montay's wife.
00:21:23Wife?
00:21:25But she just told me she was his niece.
00:21:27Last week, she was his little sister.
00:21:29It is not funny, Major.
00:21:31For the past six months,
00:21:33Miss Montay has been suffering
00:21:35from an acute form of schizophrenia,
00:21:37accompanied by visual aberrations
00:21:40and increasingly severe paranoic delusions.
00:21:43Mm-hmm.
00:21:45And how is she mentally?
00:21:47I'm afraid Mr. McCloud is a harbored man.
00:21:50I am not.
00:21:52Fairmount High.
00:21:54Cleveland.
00:21:55Won't you sit here, please?
00:21:57Mm-hmm.
00:22:00I'll, um...
00:22:01I'll try to simplify the case.
00:22:03Oh, well, make it easy on yourself.
00:22:05I handle all these...
00:22:08Miss Montay has an obsession
00:22:10that her own life is in danger,
00:22:12and she believes that her uncle, the Baron here,
00:22:14has been kidnapped.
00:22:16Well, gee, I...
00:22:18I mean, why don't you bring her in here
00:22:20and show her the Baron?
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22Yeah, that's what I'd do.
00:22:23I'd... I'd...
00:22:27No, no, senor.
00:22:29It would be too severe a mental shock.
00:22:31What?
00:22:32My idea is to break down her fear
00:22:34with suggestive therapy.
00:22:36Hmm.
00:22:37Well, does she snap her cap very often?
00:22:39I mean, when you invite company for dinner,
00:22:41do you take away your knife and fork?
00:22:43She's only dangerous if she's emotionally disturbed.
00:22:46You must have come across many similar cases
00:22:48in your business, Mr. McCloud.
00:22:50Did you?
00:22:51Oh, me? Oh, sure, sure.
00:22:53I could take those schizos or leave them alone,
00:22:55and usually I leave them alone.
00:22:56I figured that...
00:22:58Well, I must get back to the office
00:23:00and file some fingernails.
00:23:01I mean, fingerprints.
00:23:02See you then.
00:23:04You know,
00:23:05my heart goes out to that poor unfortunate girl.
00:23:09Her mind is all mixed up.
00:23:11It's downright pitiful.
00:23:13I suppose she even said something about a map, huh?
00:23:16Map?
00:23:17Yeah, she even gave me one to hold for her.
00:23:19Mysterious map, missing uncle.
00:23:22Pretty corny.
00:23:23You know, there was something about the way she looked
00:23:25that made me suspicious.
00:23:26But the way she looked, I didn't care.
00:23:28But she kept the map.
00:23:30Oh, sure.
00:23:31Why not?
00:23:32She may not have it up here, but...
00:23:34Hubba hubba.
00:23:37Thank you, Kismet.
00:23:39Now, you watch yourself, son.
00:23:43Oh, come in, Carlotta, dear.
00:23:46Nutty as a fruitcake,
00:23:48and with all that beautiful frosting.
00:23:51I was just saying to your friend, Mr. Craig,
00:23:53at any time he's in the neighborhood,
00:23:54he should feel free to drop in and have a julep with us.
00:23:57You all, excuse me.
00:23:58Oh, don't go, Major.
00:23:59You know the old saying,
00:24:00three's company and two's a crowd.
00:24:02You take care of yourself, son.
00:24:04Yeah.
00:24:06Well,
00:24:07here we are, alone at last.
00:24:09Goodbye.
00:24:11Do you know who that phone call was from?
00:24:13Napoleon?
00:24:18Uh-uh, her schizo's about to frenia.
00:24:21Why did I get up today?
00:24:26I just spoke to my uncle.
00:24:28That's funny, so did I.
00:24:30Who?
00:24:31My uncle, Baron Monte.
00:24:33He told me not to worry.
00:24:36But I'm terribly disturbed.
00:24:38Emotionally?
00:24:39Yes.
00:24:41He said he was safe.
00:24:43Oh, he's safe, all right.
00:24:46I mean, he's safe, all right.
00:24:47But he's not safe.
00:24:49I know he isn't.
00:24:50No, no, he's in a terrible spot.
00:24:53But I feel he's in great danger.
00:24:55Yes, yes, he's in great danger.
00:24:57Yeah, but he's safe, all right.
00:24:59He's safe?
00:25:00You sound like an umpire.
00:25:02Don't you see?
00:25:04Someone forced him to make that call.
00:25:07Someone who wants me to believe that nothing is wrong.
00:25:11Oh, Mr. McCloud.
00:25:13I don't know what to do.
00:25:14I'm at my wit's end.
00:25:16Yeah, I passed there an hour ago.
00:25:17What's the matter with you?
00:25:19Oh, me?
00:25:20Here, sister.
00:25:21You better take the ring back.
00:25:23But...
00:25:26But, Mr. McCloud,
00:25:28Sam,
00:25:30you wouldn't desert me.
00:25:32Not now.
00:25:33No, no, I just remembered I got a date with J. Edgar Hoover.
00:25:35Kid never makes a move without me.
00:25:37But, Sam,
00:25:38you said we were in this thing together.
00:25:40You said you'd stick with me till your dying breath.
00:25:42Yeah, and I'm getting too close to it.
00:25:44Now, don't get upset, Miss Montay.
00:25:46You just listen to the Major.
00:25:48He's a very fine man.
00:25:49And he...
00:25:50he likes you.
00:25:52Oh, so they've been talking to you.
00:25:54They've been telling you things.
00:25:55Oh, you're crazy.
00:25:56I mean, you're being silly.
00:25:58Nobody's been talking to me.
00:25:59I haven't even been talking to myself.
00:26:01Oh, yes, they have.
00:26:03They told you something.
00:26:04And you believe them.
00:26:05Oh, no, no, I'm...
00:26:06I'm on your side.
00:26:08Oh.
00:26:10So now I know who's at the bottom of all this.
00:26:13Major Simon Montague.
00:26:14Oh, oh.
00:26:16No, no.
00:26:17We're in this together, baby.
00:26:18Please don't believe him, Sam.
00:26:19Huh?
00:26:20Please say you'll help me.
00:26:22Please.
00:26:23Please, baby.
00:26:24Huh?
00:26:25Do it for Mama.
00:26:31Mama knows best.
00:26:33Darling.
00:26:34Promise me you'll guard the map with your life.
00:26:37Yeah, the map.
00:26:39Map?
00:26:41The map.
00:26:42Yeah.
00:26:43Here, let me take this.
00:26:44Oh.
00:26:46You can open the mailman later.
00:26:48Gee, gee.
00:26:50Six o'clock already.
00:26:51Well, I...
00:26:52Well, so long.
00:26:54Well, I get out of the house and was just starting from my car
00:26:57when I realized me and my gat had parted company, holster and all.
00:27:01I figured little Miss Screwball must have lifted it when she kissed me.
00:27:04I started to go back for it, but I changed my mind.
00:27:07I spot a high window around the corner of the house
00:27:09and decide to climb up and take a gander.
00:27:12I figure the only way to get the inside dope is from the outside.
00:27:15Dope.
00:27:16So I scamper up the hill in about three jumps like any other goat
00:27:19and take a sneak peek.
00:27:21And what do you know?
00:27:22The guy who told me he couldn't walk is out of his wheelchair
00:27:25and sashaying around chipper as a jaybird.
00:27:28Then I knew Carlotta wasn't nuts.
00:27:30I get out my brownie and I'm all set to snap exhibit A
00:27:33when Laughing Boy gets out of his chair and starts for the window.
00:27:36I figure he sees me.
00:27:38But no, he pulls up the shade right in my kisser
00:27:41like it was ladies' night in a Turkish bath.
00:27:43I'm stymied, but only for a second.
00:27:45The keyhole.
00:27:47Here's where my gadget pays off.
00:27:49The greatest invention since the Albany night boat.
00:27:51This will do it, I says.
00:27:53Next stop, Rogues Gallery.
00:28:00Now watch the birdie.
00:28:01Quick.
00:28:03Oh, Carlotta, quick.
00:28:05What am I seeing?
00:28:10Uh-huh.
00:28:12Hey, he saw the baron.
00:28:13He took a picture.
00:28:14A picture?
00:28:15Get that camera before I take the hide off.
00:28:17Yeah, right.
00:28:18There he goes.
00:28:21Hold it.
00:28:22Close the gates.
00:28:23Both gates.
00:28:48Step on it, Tony.
00:28:49Step on it.
00:28:52Step on it.
00:28:59Come on, take this shortcut.
00:29:01Hang on.
00:29:22Too fast for him.
00:29:24Hot rod.
00:29:28Lost him.
00:29:29Must have taken the other road.
00:29:31Turn around.
00:29:42Hey, you big road hog, where do you...
00:29:44Oh!
00:29:51Oh!
00:30:22Oh!
00:30:43Hello, honey, this is Joe.
00:30:44Hello, honey, this is Joe.
00:30:45Hello, honey, this is Joe.
00:30:46Come on up, Joe.
00:30:47Where have you been?
00:30:48We're late, Joe.
00:30:49This is old time, Joe.
00:30:50Come on up, Joe.
00:30:52Come on up, honey.
00:30:53That Joe, what a man he must be.
00:30:54I've been waiting for you, Joe.
00:30:57Don't let him in.
00:30:58They're from a finance company.
00:31:01Come on up, honey.
00:31:02I must remember this address.
00:31:09That'll cool you off, Joe.
00:31:11Oh.
00:31:21Oh.
00:31:27Aha!
00:31:28Didn't think you'd do it after that bath we had.
00:31:31You doll, you.
00:31:33We both came through like men.
00:31:48Oh, hello, operator.
00:31:49Get me the state police.
00:31:51Yeah, I'll hang on.
00:32:07Funny rugged.
00:32:08Smooth, though.
00:32:14Cuddles, huh?
00:32:19Operator?
00:32:21Operator, never mind that call.
00:32:40Very thoughtful of you to include the negative.
00:32:50When I came to, I was playing post office with the floor.
00:32:53I had a lump on my head the size of my head.
00:32:55Inside, Toscanini was conducting the anvil course with real blacksmiths.
00:32:59I looked at the bottle of old pile driver and decided to stick the double malts.
00:33:06And those kids with the hammer started pounding again.
00:33:08But the thumping wasn't in my head.
00:33:10It was somebody knocking on the door.
00:33:12And it wasn't McCloud's door.
00:33:14It was my door.
00:33:15My door in the other room.
00:33:20Oh, it's you.
00:33:21Yes, here I am, Mr. Jackson.
00:33:23Shh, my head's...
00:33:24How did they come out?
00:33:25Yanks 4, Cleveland 7.
00:33:27Now, Mr. Jackson, a man of your responsibility shouldn't drink.
00:33:30Well, who's drinking? I...
00:33:32Oh, that's a bottle of bean bobber.
00:33:35I want my baby's picture.
00:33:38Picture?
00:33:40Oh!
00:33:42Wait a minute.
00:33:43Where are you going?
00:33:44Just a second.
00:33:45Mr. Jackson.
00:33:46Wait.
00:33:47Mr. Jackson.
00:33:48I got it.
00:33:49It's gone.
00:33:50It's gone?
00:33:51Let me see.
00:33:52I had it here and I took it in there.
00:33:53Oh, this wouldn't have to happen to Sweden.
00:33:55No, no, look, Mrs. Fong, it's not your baby's picture.
00:33:57Here's the negative of that.
00:33:58Have it printed someplace else, please.
00:34:00Someplace else?
00:34:01Yeah, I'm out of business now.
00:34:02I'm retired.
00:34:03Remember that if you have another baby, please.
00:34:06Quiet, I'm thinking.
00:34:08Boy, I've got things to do.
00:34:09Yes, sir, important things to do.
00:34:13What have I got to do?
00:34:16Carlotta!
00:34:18Carlotta!
00:34:28Hey, there he is.
00:34:29That's the fella.
00:34:30Get him.
00:34:32Watch him, he's one of the gang.
00:34:33All right, what did you do with the Baron?
00:34:35Come clean, you guns, we mean business.
00:34:37Don't we, fellas?
00:34:39I beg your pardon?
00:34:40What's going on here?
00:34:41Don't try to look so innocent with those blue point eyes.
00:34:44Watch him, he's got a knife.
00:34:45Have you got a knife?
00:34:46Sure, I've got a knife.
00:34:47I'm the gardener.
00:34:48Uh-huh, what did you think I was last night at Chrysanthemum?
00:34:50You tried to prune me.
00:34:51Hold it, bud.
00:34:52Is there anyone living here by the name of, uh...
00:34:54Carlotta Monte.
00:34:55Carlotta Monte.
00:34:56Who is Carlotta Monte?
00:34:58You know who she is.
00:34:59She's staying here with Major Montague.
00:35:01Who is Major Montague?
00:35:02Look, this house belongs to the George Crandalls.
00:35:04They've been in South America for four months.
00:35:06Six months.
00:35:07Yeah, then he's subletting.
00:35:09You mind if we take a look inside?
00:35:10No, please come along.
00:35:12Pardon me.
00:35:14This way.
00:35:15I'll show you.
00:35:16They're probably all hiding in here.
00:35:17Stick with me.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:21Hey, what's this?
00:35:23Looks like nobody home.
00:35:25Nothing personal about that, I hope.
00:35:27What do you think, Sarge?
00:35:28I think a rebuke is in order.
00:35:29Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:35:30Don't get your badges in an uproar.
00:35:31You got this all wrong.
00:35:32They fixed my car, they fixed the gate, they fixed everything.
00:35:35That's their racket.
00:35:36They're trying to make people think everybody's crazy.
00:35:38Yeah, but with you, they had a head start.
00:35:39Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:35:40You gotta listen to me.
00:35:41You gotta trust me, fellas.
00:35:42This is the biggest frame-up since Whistler's mother.
00:35:44I...
00:35:47Wait a minute.
00:35:48Now, keep moving.
00:35:49You got a long drive back to town.
00:35:51Yeah, well, let me tell you something.
00:35:52What?
00:35:53I like long drives.
00:35:55Get going.
00:35:56Okay.
00:35:57And if you bother us again,
00:35:58I'll personally punch you in the nose so hard
00:36:00it'll look like other people's noses.
00:36:01Yeah, well, it might be worth it.
00:36:06Sorry we bothered you.
00:36:07You're not a bad guy for a foreigner.
00:36:09But I'm going to be a citizen.
00:36:11I'm studying for my examination.
00:36:13By the way, could you gentlemen tell me
00:36:15who was the eighth president of the United States?
00:36:21So long, bud.
00:36:37He's going around to the back.
00:36:39Well, you know what to do.
00:36:41Sure, I know what to do.
00:36:42Not that, you fool.
00:36:44Why did he come back?
00:36:46Why does he want to search the house?
00:36:48He's looking for clues.
00:36:49Clues, huh?
00:36:52He wants a clue to Carlotta's whereabouts.
00:36:54See that he finds one.
00:36:56This one.
00:37:01Find one.
00:37:14It always looks so easy in those Tarzan pictures.
00:38:44Ah.
00:39:11Aha.
00:39:15Eureka.
00:39:16Her ring.
00:39:20Seacliff Lodge.
00:39:22So that's where she is.
00:39:25Oh.
00:39:26I believe a clue.
00:39:37Here.
00:39:38Ah.
00:39:45Ah.
00:39:49Well, I knew where the doll was.
00:39:50My next move is to find her.
00:39:52So I get back into my hot rod special and start out.
00:39:55About an hour later, I spot a sign.
00:39:57Seacliff Lodge.
00:39:59So I go in to locate the girl.
00:40:01Pretending I'm just another guest
00:40:03looking for a little quiet relaxation.
00:40:06The place is just what I figured.
00:40:08A ritzy summer resort.
00:40:10Complete with golf course.
00:40:15Say, uh, pardon me.
00:40:16How do you get to the lodge from here?
00:40:18The lodge?
00:40:19That's where I live.
00:40:20Straight ahead.
00:40:21You can't miss it.
00:40:22Oh.
00:40:23Hey, pardon me.
00:40:24Did you notice if a good-looking dark-haired girl
00:40:26checked in there last night?
00:40:28Shh.
00:40:29Can't talk.
00:40:32Care to play these last three holes?
00:40:34It'll take you right there.
00:40:36Oh.
00:40:37Okay, but, uh, how about my car?
00:40:39They'll send for it.
00:40:40Oh.
00:40:41Crawford's the name.
00:40:42Oliver J. Crawford.
00:40:43Well, mine's, uh, Smithers.
00:40:46Nine iron.
00:40:48Care to shoot first?
00:40:49Okay.
00:40:50Say, this girl last night.
00:40:51Did you notice if she was alone?
00:40:53Shh.
00:40:54Uh, care to make a small wager?
00:40:56A dollar a hole?
00:40:57All right.
00:40:58Say, did you notice if she had a...
00:41:00A hit of full nine.
00:41:02There's water down there.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:14Missed it.
00:41:15Ha ha.
00:41:16Cop must have moved on me.
00:41:17Oh.
00:41:18I feel like a pretty good round today myself.
00:41:20You do?
00:41:31Oh.
00:41:34Lucky I got over those traps.
00:41:36I didn't see it.
00:41:38Right in the cup.
00:41:51I'll concede that.
00:41:52Thanks.
00:41:58For a minute there, I didn't think you had a ball.
00:42:00Top luck, old boy.
00:42:01You're one down.
00:42:02I'm one up.
00:42:03Oh.
00:42:04Oh.
00:42:05Oh.
00:42:06You're one down.
00:42:16Where's your ball?
00:42:17Right here.
00:42:19Nice lie.
00:42:24Right on the green.
00:42:26Yeah, I can't even see the green.
00:42:27I can.
00:42:28Oh, say, Smithers.
00:42:29Huh?
00:42:30How about that buck you owe me?
00:42:31I owe you?
00:42:32A dollar a hole.
00:42:33Uh-huh.
00:42:34Nice racket you got.
00:42:35Thanks.
00:42:37George Washington.
00:42:38Where?
00:42:39He's staying here, you know.
00:42:40Oh.
00:42:41Got the room next to mine.
00:42:42Uh-huh.
00:42:43Keeps me up all night long playing Yankee Doodle on his fife off key.
00:42:49Why don't you tell Petrillo about it?
00:42:54Hey, you hurry up.
00:42:55Quick, grab him.
00:42:56There they go.
00:42:57I'm looking for you, chummy.
00:42:58We gonna see the doctor.
00:43:00Doctor?
00:43:02Sanitarium.
00:43:03Oh, no.
00:43:04You're wrong.
00:43:05I'm not crazy.
00:43:06I know.
00:43:07I know.
00:43:08Maybe you'd like some walnuts.
00:43:10Walnuts?
00:43:11Why don't you grab those nuts?
00:43:12There's strudel in the noodle.
00:43:13I want you.
00:43:14Yeah, but I'm okay.
00:43:15I'm sane.
00:43:16I'll prove it to you.
00:43:17Watch this coordination.
00:43:21It's the wrong hand.
00:43:22It's...
00:43:26Well, I'll practice a little and see you later.
00:43:28Hey, come on.
00:43:29Easy.
00:43:30That's my pinball hand.
00:43:31We gonna see the doctor.
00:43:32It's no use, bud.
00:43:33Come on, would you?
00:43:35Let's see the doctor.
00:43:36Doctor!
00:43:39Watch out.
00:43:40We'll never get that down again.
00:43:43That's better.
00:43:44That's better.
00:43:45There's a part missing.
00:43:48Nothing like this could be permanent.
00:43:52Oh, cuddles.
00:43:53Hello.
00:43:55Do they have bellhops here?
00:43:56Welcome to Sea Cliff College.
00:43:58Yeah.
00:44:00Calisthenics?
00:44:01Oh, steady.
00:44:02The map.
00:44:03Where's the map?
00:44:05You didn't bring it with you.
00:44:06That's very bad.
00:44:08Look, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:44:10Get me out of this angle.
00:44:12Very bad.
00:44:13Trying to choke somebody?
00:44:14Look, I don't know what's going on here.
00:44:17And I'm not scared, see?
00:44:18You got company, ma'am.
00:44:20Carlotta.
00:44:22Sam.
00:44:23Oh, Sam, I'm sorry.
00:44:25Oh, that's all right, baby.
00:44:26Oh, why did I have to go and do this?
00:44:28Now I got June in this mess, too.
00:44:32Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:44:33Don't go feminine on me.
00:44:34All right.
00:44:35Don't go masculine, either.
00:44:40Where?
00:44:43Oh, I didn't know this was going to be formal.
00:44:45Oh, I'll be right with you, boss.
00:44:49Come over here and sit down, son.
00:44:51You and I are going to have a little talk.
00:44:53Yeah, I'll do the talking.
00:44:54You do the sitting.
00:44:56I'll do the talking.
00:44:57You do the talking.
00:45:01I'll do the sitting.
00:45:02The map, Kismet?
00:45:03He didn't have it on him, Sam.
00:45:05No?
00:45:06No.
00:45:07Hmm.
00:45:08That kind of changes things, don't it?
00:45:09Yes, it does change things.
00:45:11Sam, boy.
00:45:12Recently, I offered to buy from Baron Monte
00:45:15the mineral rights of a section of his land.
00:45:17Unfortunately, the Baron turned my offer down.
00:45:21He came to this country to make a deal with somebody else.
00:45:24Who is this someone else?
00:45:26What kind of mineral rights?
00:45:27You're getting too inquisitive, son.
00:45:29And that ain't healthy.
00:45:31Now, maybe little Carlotta here is beginning to see the light.
00:45:35You know, I'm very fond of you, Carlotta.
00:45:37And I don't like to see you holding out on me.
00:45:40Lay off of her, you phony...
00:45:42You...
00:45:43You all.
00:45:45It's a good thing you're here.
00:45:46I'd be brutal.
00:45:50Carlotta.
00:45:51Uncle Stefan.
00:45:53Are you all right?
00:45:54Yes, child.
00:45:56They haven't hardened me.
00:45:57Hey, is that your uncle?
00:45:59He looks just like the guy in the picture I took.
00:46:01You should have held on to it, son.
00:46:03That picture might have spoiled everything for us.
00:46:06Light, please, Carlotta.
00:46:08Oh, Sam, and if you don't mind, I...
00:46:10I'd like to acquaint the Baron with a few basic facts.
00:46:13You see, Monsieur le Baron,
00:46:15we have you.
00:46:17We have your niece.
00:46:19And, uh...
00:46:20Having Mr. McCloud,
00:46:22we have the map.
00:46:24Not yet, you haven't.
00:46:25Yes, but...
00:46:27Before the chrysanthemum blooms,
00:46:30we will have it.
00:46:33Please put this away, yes?
00:46:37Come here, Willie.
00:46:38Now, let's stop fooling around, son.
00:46:40I want that map, and I want it now.
00:46:43What you want and what you're gonna get are two different things.
00:46:45I'm not the given kind.
00:46:46You're not...
00:46:47Oh...
00:46:50I...
00:46:51Oh...
00:46:53Temper, Kismet, temper.
00:46:55Don't be so rough with Sam.
00:46:57He can take it.
00:46:58The poor boy stays.
00:47:00He don't know what's going on.
00:47:04Oh...
00:47:05Oh, I'm sorry, honey.
00:47:06I didn't mean to get so fresh.
00:47:08I...
00:47:10Oh, it's you?
00:47:11Oh...
00:47:13Now, where's the map, son?
00:47:15Oh, is that what you want?
00:47:17Why didn't you say so?
00:47:18You don't have to get it the hard way.
00:47:20Sam, don't.
00:47:21Oh, what's the use?
00:47:22They'll beat it out of us anyway.
00:47:23We might as well tell them.
00:47:24Go on, chummy.
00:47:25You tell them.
00:47:26All right.
00:47:27I hid the map in a water cooler in my office.
00:47:29Oh, he's lying.
00:47:30I've searched his office.
00:47:31No, you looked in the wrong water cooler.
00:47:33The one I mean is in...
00:47:34Sam.
00:47:35Huh?
00:47:36We might as well tell them the truth.
00:47:39You'll find the map in a water cooler at the ferry building.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:45Yeah, in the ferry building.
00:47:46In the water cooler by the newsstand.
00:47:49Third cup from the top.
00:47:51We'll find out.
00:47:53Tony, it should take you about three hours to get to that ferry building and back.
00:47:57Get going, son.
00:47:59Doctor?
00:48:00Better register them as patients.
00:48:03In case they should happen to meet with an accident,
00:48:06the usual papers will be filled out.
00:48:09You see, if Tony doesn't happen to find that map...
00:48:20Come on.
00:48:40James Collins.
00:48:49Sam.
00:48:51Sam, can you hear me?
00:48:55What's up, baby?
00:48:56That cigarette you saw me take from my uncle.
00:48:59There was a message in it from him.
00:49:01We've two hours to get out of here.
00:49:03Oh, we've got nothing to worry about.
00:49:05Until Tony gets back.
00:49:07You know, they took all my clothes.
00:49:09Mine too.
00:49:10They did?
00:49:11Oh, they did, huh?
00:49:13Say, have you got a hairpin?
00:49:15Sam, this is no time to be thinking about your looks.
00:49:18Here.
00:49:19Oh, good.
00:49:24Say, how'd you know about that cigarette?
00:49:26My uncle never smokes.
00:49:28So, when he asked me for a light, I...
00:49:31He wants us to get in touch with the James Collins Engineering Facts Corporation.
00:49:37Uh-huh.
00:49:38I've seen this done a thousand times.
00:49:40Who is this James Collins?
00:49:42I don't know.
00:49:43But we've got to find him.
00:49:45It's always so simple.
00:49:46Just put the hairpin in the lock, give it a quick twist, and...
00:49:49Well, come on in.
00:49:50Get up, we can play jacks later.
00:49:53Come on.
00:49:55Uh-oh.
00:49:58Quick, vanish, quick.
00:50:07Oh, it's you.
00:50:09Okay, take me away.
00:50:11I brung you some grub.
00:50:13Grub?
00:50:14I fixed it all myself.
00:50:16Oh, I haven't got much of an appetite.
00:50:18If I could take a long walk...
00:50:19Oh, them there guys wouldn't let you.
00:50:21Oh.
00:50:22You know, show me.
00:50:23I like you.
00:50:24Yeah, well, you got a funny way of showing it.
00:50:26I'm still trying to get the corpuscles to move back in.
00:50:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:50:32You just don't know your own strength.
00:50:38You know, Willie, I like you, too.
00:50:41You do?
00:50:42Yes, sir.
00:50:43What a physique.
00:50:44Boulder dam with legs.
00:50:46And look at those shoulders.
00:50:47And that arm.
00:50:49Like a sack of doorknobs.
00:50:51Recess, recess, recess.
00:50:54I'm just kidding.
00:50:56Hey, chummy.
00:50:57Do you care if I feel your muscle, too?
00:51:00No, go ahead.
00:51:03Look around, it's there someplace.
00:51:06Oh, there it is.
00:51:07That's it.
00:51:09It's just like a woman.
00:51:12Easy, easy, easy.
00:51:14Everything you touch turns to rigor mortis.
00:51:17You know, Willie,
00:51:18with your strength, I bet you could take that radiator
00:51:20and just pull it out by the roots and play it like an accordion, huh?
00:51:23Wouldn't that be fun?
00:51:24Or you could even take those bars and just bend them apart, huh?
00:51:28Oh, I don't like to brag.
00:51:30Oh, well, go ahead and brag.
00:51:33All right.
00:51:43Oh, that's great, Willie.
00:51:45Gee, you're strong.
00:51:46You want I should tear out the radiator?
00:51:49Oh, no, no, that's okay.
00:51:50Oh, you've done enough.
00:51:51You're wonderful.
00:51:52Oh, you're solid spinach.
00:51:54You're great.
00:51:55I'll buy you a rabbit later.
00:51:57Thanks very much.
00:51:58Oh, I'll be seeing you, chummy.
00:52:00All right, thanks.
00:52:03Huh?
00:52:12Huh?
00:52:16No.
00:52:21You gotta be neat, you know.
00:52:23Yeah.
00:52:24Yeah, I...
00:52:36Willie!
00:52:38Did you hear that?
00:52:39Yes.
00:52:42Big detective outsmarted by an imbecile.
00:52:44We've got to get out of here.
00:52:46In two hours, they'll...
00:52:48Yeah, we're caught like rats in a trap.
00:52:51Well, at least we're a boy rat and a girl rat.
00:52:54A boy rat and a girl rat?
00:53:07Here's your dinner.
00:53:10All right.
00:53:11No use struggling.
00:53:20See?
00:53:21I told you there was no use struggling.
00:53:23Come on.
00:53:24No, get the keys.
00:53:26I'll be your nurse patient.
00:53:28Oh, great.
00:53:29Here's where I get some new clothes.
00:53:33We'd better split up.
00:53:34When we get downstairs, meet me at my car.
00:53:36You can't miss it.
00:53:37It's a great convertible job with a horn that goes...
00:53:39It's a conservative model.
00:53:41Yes, but suppose they took the keys?
00:53:43Don't need them.
00:53:44There's a trick you can do with the wires.
00:53:46Shh.
00:53:54Shh.
00:53:58Somebody's coming.
00:53:59Act like a nurse.
00:54:00Act like a patient.
00:54:01Yeah.
00:54:06There, there.
00:54:07Dee-doo.
00:54:08Oh, nurse.
00:54:10Be no barbital.
00:54:11It's a triplicate and a third.
00:54:13Dee-doo.
00:54:15I think I do this too well.
00:54:16Come on.
00:54:17Oh.
00:54:19Wait a minute.
00:54:20Wait.
00:54:21Let's see what's in here.
00:54:23There's nothing here but this mangy old piece of moth bait.
00:54:25Mine?
00:54:26Yours?
00:54:27Oh, it's pretty, isn't it?
00:54:29We can't use this.
00:54:30Come on.
00:54:32When we get to the door, we'll make a break for it.
00:54:35Hiya, stranger.
00:54:37Shh.
00:54:39How do you do, my dear?
00:54:40Shh.
00:54:41Going around to the pretty nurse, I see.
00:54:43You'll be getting out of here in no time.
00:54:45See you.
00:54:46Yeah.
00:54:48He's one of us.
00:54:52How many branches does our government consist of?
00:54:56Our government consists of three branches.
00:55:00What are the three branches of our government?
00:55:06The three branches of our government are, huh?
00:55:10The legislative, the executive, and the judicial.
00:55:14Oh.
00:55:16What does the legislative branch of our government do?
00:55:22Hmm?
00:55:23Huh?
00:55:25It makes the laws.
00:55:28What does the executive branch of our government do?
00:55:32It carries out the laws.
00:55:35Sneaking out, stranger?
00:55:36Oh.
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:38Oh.
00:55:39It's you.
00:55:40Oh.
00:55:41Oh.
00:55:42No.
00:55:43Practicing again?
00:55:44No.
00:55:45Why wait till evening?
00:55:46How delightful.
00:55:47Oh.
00:55:48Wonderful.
00:55:49Oh.
00:55:50Wait a minute.
00:55:51Take it easy, Cuddles.
00:55:52Cuddles, huh?
00:55:53Look, I was just...
00:55:54I was just...
00:55:55Oh.
00:55:56Marvelous.
00:55:57Come here, you coward.
00:55:59Look, you can get in trouble if you...
00:56:00Oh.
00:56:01Why, you dirty rat.
00:56:06Oh.
00:56:07Oh.
00:56:08Nothing personal.
00:56:10Rat.
00:56:11How did you...
00:56:12Come here.
00:56:13Come here.
00:56:14Where are you?
00:56:15Hey.
00:56:16Where...
00:56:17You temper.
00:56:18I have you now.
00:56:19Why, you stupid...
00:56:20Come on.
00:56:21You rubbish.
00:56:23Come on.
00:56:29Hey, Willie.
00:56:30You go that way.
00:56:33Hey, hey, Cuddles.
00:56:34I don't see him.
00:56:38Turn out, Willie.
00:56:39Let's search the woods.
00:56:40Turn out.
00:56:46Oh.
00:56:47Shh.
00:56:48Friend.
00:56:50How'd you get rid of him?
00:56:51You just couldn't stand the details, baby.
00:56:53I just hope I didn't slug him too hard.
00:56:57It's a good thing we're downhill.
00:56:58Yeah.
00:56:59I'll release the brake.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:04What are you doing now?
00:57:05I'll show you that trick with the wires.
00:57:07You don't need a key.
00:57:08It's great.
00:57:20Come on.
00:57:26What a time to hit the jackpot.
00:57:31Hey.
00:57:41You do better with your knife.
00:57:43Shut up.
00:57:46What happened?
00:57:47Hey, I'm driving.
00:57:49I'll take it through here.
00:57:50It gets a little rough.
00:57:51Thanks.
00:57:54As soon as we get to the city, we'll call Mr. Collins.
00:57:57Or better yet, we'll go to your office and get the map and then we'll go home.
00:58:00Hold it.
00:58:01What's the matter?
00:58:02I got news for you, Miss Montay.
00:58:03I'm bowing out.
00:58:05But, Sam, you can't.
00:58:06I'm forcing myself.
00:58:08This kind of life is too rich for my blood.
00:58:10A little I got left.
00:58:11I'll get you the map and then we'll call it quits.
00:58:13Tell me, Mr. McCloud.
00:58:15Are you always afraid of old men with phony southern accents?
00:58:18Wait a minute.
00:58:19What do I owe you?
00:58:20All I know is you came into my office with a phony story in a ring
00:58:23and now I ain't got the ring and I'm stuck with the story.
00:58:27Put this top up.
00:58:29It's going to rain.
00:58:30It never rains at this time of the year.
00:58:37Orange juice.
00:58:40There you are.
00:58:41Ronnie Jackson.
00:58:42Photographer for babies.
00:58:43Yeah, that's me.
00:58:45Well, where's Sam McCloud?
00:58:47He's out of town, which is a tough break for all of us.
00:58:49Except him.
00:58:50So you've been playing detective.
00:58:52Yeah, and I'm through playing, sister.
00:58:54The last 24 hours I've been knocked out, shot at, beaten up,
00:58:57knocked out again and put through the ringer.
00:58:59And if I'm still alive, it's only because the insurance company doesn't want to give up.
00:59:03They're afraid it would break them.
00:59:07Here.
00:59:08Here's your map, Miss Montay.
00:59:09The right water cooler, but the wrong office.
00:59:12Goodbye.
00:59:14All right.
00:59:15Goodbye, Sam.
00:59:16I mean, Mr. Jackson.
00:59:21Goodbye.
00:59:22And I don't mean see you later.
00:59:24So long, sister.
00:59:38Wait a minute.
00:59:39You can't go out like that.
00:59:40You're soaked to the skin.
00:59:42I'll manage.
00:59:43Oh, steady.
00:59:44Why do women always act like women?
00:59:46Here.
00:59:47Here are a few things.
00:59:48Whose things?
00:59:49Mine.
00:59:50Pick out what you need.
00:59:51The ones with the lace are still at the laundry.
00:59:53May I change?
00:59:54No, it's my room.
00:59:55Over here, behind the screen.
00:59:57If you're not a detective, you act like one.
00:59:59Well, I ain't exactly a cream puff, sister.
01:00:06Guy could use water wings in this business.
01:00:11Oh, Ronnie.
01:00:12Yeah?
01:00:13I just wanted you to know, I'm not really angry with you.
01:00:17Why not?
01:00:18I'm very grateful for all you've done for me.
01:00:21Even if you were Sam McCloud, you couldn't have accomplished more.
01:00:26Look, don't red apple me.
01:00:28From now on, I'm gonna stick to watch the birdie and leave the chicks alone.
01:00:33Ronnie.
01:00:35I think you're a very brave man.
01:00:38I know a sniveling coward when I see one.
01:00:40Hiya, snive.
01:00:42But I've no one else to turn to.
01:00:44Won't you help me?
01:00:45No.
01:00:47Please.
01:00:48Oh, no, you don't.
01:00:50What kind of a sucker do you take me for?
01:00:52Just because you're a girl and I'm a boy and you're throwing those big blue eyes at me
01:00:57and you let me put my arms around you,
01:00:59and you let me hold you close, even closer,
01:01:02you think you can get me to do anything you want?
01:01:04You think you can get me to do anything you want?
01:01:10What do you want, baby?
01:01:12Darling, the first thing we've got to do...
01:01:15We're doing it.
01:01:17We've got to find James Collins.
01:01:20Collins?
01:01:23No, no, we gotta get out of here.
01:01:25This is the first place those characters will look.
01:01:27I don't want that Cuddles playing mummy peg on my throat.
01:01:29Take those off.
01:01:30What?
01:01:31I mean, put this on.
01:01:32Oh, you better roll these up first.
01:01:35Where's my hat?
01:01:37Shh.
01:01:42Oh, it's you, Mrs. Fong.
01:01:43Mr. Jackson, stop pushing me.
01:01:45I'm sorry. Hurry.
01:01:46Mr. Jackson, I'm very disappointed in you.
01:01:48Yeah, I know.
01:01:49You take a picture of Sonny flying for the first time in his life,
01:01:52and then you gave me the wrong...
01:01:53Yeah, well, don't worry about a thing, Mrs. Fong.
01:01:55I'll give you your money back. Hurry.
01:01:56But I don't want my money back.
01:01:58I want a picture of Sonny flying for the first time in his life.
01:02:00Yeah, I know.
01:02:01Shh.
01:02:04Here they come.
01:02:05Hurry. Hurry up.
01:02:06Come on, let's go while we're still here.
01:02:10Don't worry about a thing.
01:02:11I'll send you a check.
01:02:14But you gave me the wrong negative.
01:02:28Well, our next move is to contact Mr. James Collins.
01:02:31His secretary said he had a date that night at a spot called the Poulet d'Or.
01:02:35From here in, we had no worries.
01:02:37Montague and his cute little playmates,
01:02:39they were washed up, through, lost in the shuffle.
01:02:42Well, Poulet d'Or was our next stop,
01:02:44but we didn't look exactly like cafe society,
01:02:47so I blew the bankroll,
01:02:48a rented tuxedo for myself and an evening gown for Carlotta.
01:02:52Boy, did she stack up.
01:02:54I guess you only get out of a thing what you put into it.
01:02:57An hour later, we were at the Poulet d'Or,
01:02:59one of those real swanky cafes where they eat mink for breakfast.
01:03:07Just a moment.
01:03:10Mr. Whitelaw has been waiting.
01:03:13Mr. Collins' table, he's expecting us.
01:03:15Oh, yes, Mr. Collins?
01:03:16He's right there by the window.
01:03:21Oh, yes.
01:03:22Yes, there he is.
01:03:23Hey, George.
01:03:24This way, please.
01:03:25Ah, just a minute, bud.
01:03:27Look, here's a fin.
01:03:28Tell that blonde at that table over there she's wanted on the phone.
01:03:32Pronto?
01:03:33Certainly, sir.
01:03:35Let's move in.
01:03:37Pardon me, sir.
01:03:38You're wanted on the telephone, miss.
01:03:40If you'll excuse me.
01:03:43Oh, Mr. Collins?
01:03:44We'd like to speak to you for a minute.
01:03:46I don't believe I've had this...
01:03:47Sit down.
01:03:48Start talking, baby.
01:03:49My name is Carlotta Montay.
01:03:51My uncle is Baron Montay.
01:03:53Baron Montay?
01:03:56I don't think I've ever...
01:03:58My uncle told us to get in touch with you.
01:04:03I'm sorry.
01:04:04I'm afraid you have the wrong man.
01:04:06Waiter.
01:04:07My check, please.
01:04:08Does this map mean anything to you?
01:04:20Where is the Baron?
01:04:23Henry!
01:04:26The waiter said you had a phone call for me.
01:04:28I will check it for you, madam.
01:04:29The Baron had an important appointment this Wednesday afternoon in Washington.
01:04:32Washington?
01:04:33In his office at the Pilgrim Hotel.
01:04:35Pilgrim Hotel?
01:04:36Someone must keep that appointment.
01:04:38Someone will, but it won't be the right Baron Montay.
01:04:40Right.
01:04:41Our first move is to get the local police.
01:04:43That's it?
01:04:44No, you stay here, Miss Montay.
01:04:45Yeah, you stay here.
01:04:46These men are killers.
01:04:47Yeah, then I'll stay here, too.
01:04:48Come on.
01:04:49Okay.
01:04:50If we're not back in 45 minutes, call the police.
01:04:52All of them.
01:04:53Check.
01:04:56The 10th Precinct Police Station is the closest.
01:04:58Good.
01:04:59We'll call from there.
01:05:00But the sooner we get this into the hands of the FBI, the better.
01:05:03FBI?
01:05:05Baron Montay's appointment in Washington Wednesday was with the State Department.
01:05:09Boy, this thing is dynamite.
01:05:11Look, Mr. Collins.
01:05:13Just how do you figure in this deal?
01:05:15I'm a geologist.
01:05:16I work with Baron Montay in San Dimas.
01:05:18In fact, I drew up this map for him.
01:05:20It shows the location of a great deposit of cryolite.
01:05:23Well, I don't see anything.
01:05:24It's in code.
01:05:25Oh.
01:05:26Yesterday morning, I got a phone call.
01:05:28A voice exactly like Baron Montay's.
01:05:30Whoever it was said that there had been a change in plans.
01:05:33That the land was no longer for sale.
01:05:35Do you realize what that means?
01:05:36Well, not exactly.
01:05:37It means that somebody, some other government perhaps, is after that cryolite.
01:05:41Mm-hmm.
01:05:46Cryolite, huh?
01:05:47Well, we can't let them get it.
01:05:50What's cryolite?
01:05:51Cryolite.
01:05:52It's an ore containing cryptobar.
01:05:54Cryptobar.
01:05:55Oh, well, we can't let them get that.
01:05:58What's cryptobar?
01:05:59A source of uranium.
01:06:01Yeah, and what's...
01:06:02Uranium.
01:06:03Oh, well, now I got you.
01:06:04I read Buck Rogers, too, you know.
01:06:05Uranium.
01:06:11Must be that right front.
01:06:13Come on.
01:06:16You know, I had a hunch this thing was much bigger than it looked.
01:06:22That's funny.
01:06:23It's okay.
01:06:25Come on.
01:06:32Hey.
01:06:35Hey, Mr. Collins, we're here.
01:06:38Mr. Collins.
01:06:40Mr... What's...
01:06:41Blood.
01:06:42And it ain't mine.
01:06:43It's red.
01:06:44Oh.
01:06:45Keep... Keep cool, Ronnie.
01:06:46Ronnie, keep cool.
01:06:47The murder weapon.
01:06:48Yeah.
01:06:49Pardon me.
01:06:50Huh?
01:06:51Find the owner of this gun and you got the killer.
01:06:53Yeah.
01:06:54Yeah, it's mine.
01:06:55Yeah, my... My gun.
01:06:56My gun.
01:06:57Oh.
01:06:58Yeah, it's got my fingerprints on it.
01:07:00I...
01:07:01Shh.
01:07:02Shh.
01:07:03I don't care if she has got a girlfriend.
01:07:04I'm going home and hit the hay.
01:07:06I just don't go for any blind dates.
01:07:08I'd rather be caught dead than...
01:07:10I'd rather be caught...
01:07:11Well, okay, call her up.
01:07:13Call her up.
01:07:14Go.
01:07:21Hey, you.
01:07:22Who, me?
01:07:24You don't expect to get away with this, do you?
01:07:26But I tell you, I didn't do it.
01:07:27I didn't do it.
01:07:28Of course you didn't do it.
01:07:29This fire hydrant just snaked up on you, huh?
01:07:32Oh, that.
01:07:33Oh, yeah.
01:07:34Let me see your driver's license.
01:07:36Yeah, but you got me all wrong, officer.
01:07:38This isn't my car.
01:07:39Oh, it isn't, huh?
01:07:40No, I don't drive.
01:07:41I drink a lot.
01:07:42I get nosebleeds and...
01:07:43And what are you doing here?
01:07:44Well, I was just cleaning.
01:07:45Trying to roll that drunk, huh?
01:07:46Oh, no.
01:07:47I wouldn't think of it.
01:07:48How far could I roll?
01:07:49How far could I roll him?
01:07:50Besides, some of my best friends are drunks.
01:07:52I...
01:07:53I was just...
01:07:54Well, I've got to go now.
01:07:55It's been fun.
01:07:57Not too fast.
01:07:58It looks suspicious.
01:07:59So long.
01:08:00It's been fun.
01:08:01Stop saying that.
01:08:02Well, goodbye now.
01:08:03I...
01:08:04I got to run now.
01:08:05I...
01:08:06Say, fella.
01:08:09Hey.
01:08:12Hey, stop or I'll shoot.
01:08:19Hey.
01:08:28Well, that takes care of him.
01:08:30He's a real help to us, that boy.
01:08:32What about the girl?
01:08:33Carlotta's no problem.
01:08:35We have the map.
01:08:40When I told Carlotta they'd rubbed out Collins, it was quite a blow.
01:08:43But the kid bounced back like a rubber ball.
01:08:45A nice, soft rubber ball.
01:08:47Too bad I wasn't in the mood to play catch.
01:08:49I was in for keeps now.
01:08:51Ronnie Jackson wanted for murder.
01:08:53Well, if we were going to save the doll's uncle and Mrs. Jackson's boy Ronnie,
01:08:57we had to get something on that gang.
01:08:59That meant our next stop had to be Washington.
01:09:02But we needed dough to get there, and little Carlotta came through.
01:09:05We got the last two seats on a plane headed east,
01:09:07and by midnight we were playing tag with the Rockies.
01:09:10Carlotta was very sweet.
01:09:12She looked after me like a mother.
01:09:14I guess she wanted to make sure I didn't get away.
01:09:16And for a disguise, I was wearing a 10 o'clock shadow.
01:09:19I had to play cagey.
01:09:21The only thing that bothered me was the altitude.
01:09:23I knew it would get me.
01:09:25I get airsick when I step on a thick carpet.
01:09:28We hit Washington about noon the next day,
01:09:30and we grabbed a cab for the Pilgrim Hotel.
01:09:33Now this was the end of the ride.
01:09:35The payoff.
01:09:36Ronnie Jackson versus Mint Jewel of Montague.
01:09:39My brain pitted against his.
01:09:41Yeah, he had the brain and I had the pit.
01:09:47I suppose they haven't got a room near my uncle's suite.
01:09:50You just toss that smile at him, honey, and he'll give us the joint.
01:09:53Thanks, Ronnie.
01:09:54Look.
01:09:58It's nice to see you again, Barrett.
01:10:01We went ahead of them.
01:10:04I guess old Shorten and Brett joins them later.
01:10:07I'll see about that room.
01:10:09Say, Bud, we'd like to talk to you about...
01:10:10One moment, please.
01:10:11Will you tell me the number of beds?
01:10:13Sorry, he's out of town.
01:10:14Oh, I'm Mr. Dawson of the State Department.
01:10:18Oh, yes.
01:10:19He's expecting you.
01:10:20Suite 14C.
01:10:24Yes?
01:10:25Oh, we'd like a room, please.
01:10:27Something on the 14th floor.
01:10:28Sorry, we have another...
01:10:29Say, what about those rooms for Hennessey and McKay?
01:10:31And Kelly.
01:10:32And Schultz.
01:10:33Oh, yes.
01:10:34Would you please register?
01:10:36I thought you said you didn't have a room.
01:10:38Well, you see, if you don't have a room,
01:10:40I thought you said you didn't have a room.
01:10:42Well, you see, if you were with the convention, I could...
01:10:44Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
01:10:45We're with the convention.
01:10:47Well, you certainly don't look like a detective.
01:10:49Well, as a...
01:10:56Oh.
01:10:57Well, I'm not exactly a detective.
01:10:59I'm more of a stool pigeon.
01:11:02There at the other hotel.
01:11:03See, and I thought...
01:11:04Well, look at...
01:11:07Well...
01:11:09Well, we must be off, old boy.
01:11:12Chilio, pip-pip, taphole, and all that sort of rot.
01:11:14Come, Deborah, come.
01:11:16Yes, we mustn't be late for tea.
01:11:18Now, I hate soggy crumpets, you know.
01:11:20Yes, so do I.
01:11:21Well, step up, huh?
01:11:22Goodbye, Joseph.
01:11:24Read all about it.
01:11:26Get your latest.
01:11:28Read all about it.
01:11:30Police, capture, killer.
01:11:33They got me.
01:11:35They got me.
01:11:36New York gang slayer jail.
01:11:38It's a New York murderer he's yelling about.
01:11:40Oh, yeah, sure, and I'm just a San Francisco murderer.
01:11:43I don't know how much more of this I can take.
01:11:45You've had me in hot water so long, I feel like a tea bag.
01:11:47Well, why don't you quit?
01:11:48I can take it from here.
01:11:49Oh, sure, now that you got me over a barrel,
01:11:51now that I'm wanted for murder...
01:11:53For murder.
01:11:54You want me to quit, huh?
01:11:56Well, let me...
01:11:57Hey.
01:12:00Hey, did you hear that bell ringing?
01:12:02What bell?
01:12:03The gang for ice water in 14-C.
01:12:05And who do you think is going to bring it up?
01:12:07Me.
01:12:08I'm my chambermaid.
01:12:22Hey.
01:12:24Hey.
01:12:25Hey, Mr. Dawson.
01:12:26Boy, bring it back.
01:12:27Mr. Dawson, I want to talk to you.
01:12:29Which way, son?
01:12:30To the right, Major Monaghan.
01:12:33Hey, boy.
01:12:34Give me a hand with these bags.
01:12:36No, but this ice water, there's a blonde in 14-A who's on fire.
01:12:39Cut the comedy and get these bags.
01:12:41This is an emergency. She's sizzling.
01:12:43Come on.
01:12:44Okay.
01:12:48Don't push me around.
01:12:50My dues are paid, too, you know.
01:12:52All right, Tony.
01:12:58Let's go.
01:13:01Oh, boy.
01:13:02You.
01:13:03Yeah?
01:13:04That portfolio...
01:13:05The office is in there, Simon.
01:13:07Yes, put the bags in that room and the portfolio in the office.
01:13:15Hey, Baron, how was it, easy?
01:13:17I handled Mr. Dawson beautifully.
01:13:19He...
01:13:20Shh.
01:13:21Nice having you with us again, Baron Montay.
01:13:23Will you be in Washington long?
01:13:25Not long. A few days, perhaps.
01:13:27Let me tell you about Dawson.
01:13:29Not now.
01:13:30We'll be alone.
01:13:32Would you like me to open the window for you?
01:13:34No, no, it's quite all right, thank you.
01:13:36Yes, Baron.
01:13:37Oh, boy.
01:13:43Oh, boy.
01:13:44Coming, coming.
01:13:46Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
01:13:48Will that be all, sir?
01:13:49Will that be all, sir?
01:13:50That's all, thank you.
01:13:52And the other boy...
01:13:53Just a minute, young man.
01:13:56Huh.
01:13:57Give this to your friend.
01:13:58Oh, thank you, sir.
01:14:02Hey.
01:14:05Hey!
01:14:06Okay, sucker.
01:14:18You'd have been proud of me, I tell you.
01:14:21Lord Kismet.
01:14:22He's never proud of anybody.
01:14:23No.
01:14:52Tony.
01:14:54Well?
01:14:57Baron's a stubborn old man.
01:14:59He still hasn't talked.
01:15:00He...
01:15:01He pretends he doesn't know the code.
01:15:05Give me that.
01:15:17Well, if it ain't Johnny.
01:15:19Shh.
01:15:20Look, Willie.
01:15:22We're friends, pals, remember?
01:15:24Sure.
01:15:25I like you.
01:15:26Here, let's go tell the fellas.
01:15:28No, Willie, no.
01:15:29They'd ruin everything.
01:15:30Shh, we're friends.
01:15:31Let's be alone.
01:15:32Here, have some walnuts.
01:15:33Are them yours?
01:15:34Let's slip this into your pocket.
01:15:36Jeez.
01:15:39Some more.
01:15:40You know, I like walnuts better than almost anything.
01:15:43Shh.
01:15:44Except coconuts.
01:15:45Oh, coconuts.
01:15:46Yes.
01:15:47I hate them.
01:15:48Because they don't fit in here.
01:15:50And they will soon.
01:15:51Shh.
01:15:52Look, just forget that you ever saw me.
01:15:54I'll bring you some lychee nuts.
01:15:56You can crack them with your eyelids.
01:15:58They're more fun.
01:15:59Shh.
01:16:02Shh.
01:16:03You're a pal.
01:16:04Shh.
01:16:05Oh.
01:16:06Goodbye.
01:16:07Why do I do that?
01:16:08Goodbye, Willie.
01:16:22Hey, you know who I just seen?
01:16:24Shh.
01:16:25At least, the part that's in code.
01:16:29Shh.
01:16:30Quiet.
01:16:31What are you doing?
01:16:32Cracking nuts.
01:16:33Guess who give them to me.
01:16:35Oh, sit down.
01:16:36He was right outside.
01:16:37Stop interrupting.
01:16:38But I just want to...
01:16:39Shut up.
01:16:40Well, that ain't no nice thing to do.
01:16:42You know what?
01:16:43I don't care.
01:16:44I don't care.
01:16:45I don't care.
01:16:46I don't care.
01:16:47I don't care.
01:16:48I don't care.
01:16:49I don't care.
01:16:50Well, that ain't no nice way to talk to a...
01:16:52Shh.
01:16:55All right.
01:16:56Just for that, I'll keep quiet.
01:17:03Any luck?
01:17:04Oh.
01:17:05Shh.
01:17:06I thought you looked a little thin.
01:17:07Anything in the portfolio?
01:17:09Just this.
01:17:10They're too smart to put anything on paper.
01:17:12Uh-huh.
01:17:13I'd go out in there and shoot it out for them, but it's so messy.
01:17:16I've looked all through the filing cabinet.
01:17:18We've got to get something out of the baby or we're dead ducks.
01:17:22We've got to get something out of the baby or we're dead ducks.
01:17:25Yeah, I said that.
01:17:27Hey.
01:17:30What is it?
01:17:31That's a recording machine that repeats what you say.
01:17:33You know, for a guy too fat to hold a secretary in his lap.
01:17:36Do you know how to work it?
01:17:37Sure.
01:17:38You just speak into this mic and make a record.
01:17:39That's it.
01:17:40That's what?
01:17:41You work the machine.
01:17:42I'll get them to talk.
01:17:44This is one of the best ideas I ever had.
01:17:47That's what you can do when you think.
01:17:49Okay.
01:17:50Lead them in.
01:17:56What was that?
01:17:57I don't know.
01:17:58I can't remember.
01:18:13Well, Carlotta.
01:18:15A chambermaid now, huh?
01:18:17You see, she's dangerous.
01:18:18We've got to get rid of her.
01:18:20Oh, let her go, kid.
01:18:21We don't want any trouble here.
01:18:22But that's no trouble.
01:18:23I put her in a trunk and sent her to my brother in California.
01:18:27I said let her go.
01:18:29All right.
01:18:30We'll handle this.
01:18:32Sit down, Carlotta.
01:18:33Sit down.
01:18:34Sit down.
01:18:35Whatever happened to your friend...
01:18:37What was his name, Mr. Jackson?
01:18:39That fool.
01:18:41That imbecile.
01:18:42He never knew when to keep his mouth shut.
01:18:45You were too smart for him.
01:18:47Now I'm alone and too weak to fight any longer.
01:18:53Well, there's really nothing to fight about, honey.
01:18:55Here, I'll show you what I mean.
01:18:57Carlotta, I once made you a mighty generous offer concerning this.
01:19:03The...
01:19:05The map?
01:19:06Yes.
01:19:07The map.
01:19:08Now, I'm repeating that offer.
01:19:10There seems to be something missing here.
01:19:12The code.
01:19:13You get me the code to the uranium deposits in San Dimas,
01:19:17and I'll let you both go.
01:19:19You mean my uncle and me?
01:19:21Yes.
01:19:22I see.
01:19:24Otherwise...
01:19:25Well, you know what we did to Mr. Collins.
01:19:29What do you mean, we?
01:19:30I did.
01:19:31Always belittling me.
01:19:33When I do a job, I do it.
01:19:35I don't think we ought to waste time arguing between ourselves, Gizmo.
01:19:39All right.
01:19:40Well, I...
01:19:41I'll get to think it over for a minute.
01:19:43It's a very big decision.
01:19:45I don't like to be kept waiting, girl.
01:19:47No, we don't.
01:19:49Did you hear me, Carlotta?
01:19:51Well...
01:19:54Did you really kill Mr. Collins?
01:19:56Who do you think did it?
01:19:57That baby photographer? That phony detective, huh?
01:20:01How do you like that?
01:20:02Such a neat job. An artistic job.
01:20:05And she thinks an amateur did it.
01:20:07Yes, yes.
01:20:08Yes, yes.
01:20:09Stop taking vows.
01:20:10I'm not taking any vows.
01:20:11I'm still waiting, Carlotta.
01:20:14Did you hear me?
01:20:17Kismet.
01:20:18I can't believe that you killed Mr. Collins.
01:20:21But I did!
01:20:22I killed him! I killed him! I killed him!
01:20:24How often do I have to say it?
01:20:26That doesn't...
01:20:27That doesn't...
01:20:28Stick him up.
01:20:29Stick him up.
01:20:32Easy, Cuddles.
01:20:33One move and you're a dead midget.
01:20:35Didn't recognize me, huh?
01:20:36Give me that map.
01:20:37Come here, baby.
01:20:38You're liable to be in the crossfire.
01:20:40Now, get your friends in here.
01:20:42Hurry up or I'll fill you so full of holes,
01:20:44you'll look like a fat clarinet.
01:20:46Come on, get them in here.
01:20:47Get back there.
01:20:48Make it snappy.
01:20:50Nice work, baby.
01:20:51All right, boys.
01:20:52You can come in now.
01:20:54Come on.
01:20:56Hurry up.
01:20:57Come on.
01:20:58Easy does it, fellas.
01:20:59I got a bullet in here for each of you.
01:21:01And one left over in case I can still hear breathing.
01:21:04You know those dicks downstairs?
01:21:06Tell them I'm giving a little party in 14C.
01:21:08Hurry.
01:21:09All right.
01:21:10Will you be all right?
01:21:11All right.
01:21:12This is my type of work.
01:21:13Line up against the wall.
01:21:15Hurry up.
01:21:16I got you covered.
01:21:17Back up, all of you.
01:21:21I said back up.
01:21:25Okay, then I'll back up.
01:21:27Now, come on, fellas.
01:21:28Be sensible.
01:21:29The least you can do is put your hands up.
01:21:32Aha!
01:21:33Aha!
01:21:34Why didn't I think of that before?
01:21:37Ha!
01:21:38See this record?
01:21:39It's a little swing number.
01:21:40And you guys are going to do the swinging.
01:21:43Willie.
01:21:44What about Willie?
01:21:46Give it to me, Charlie.
01:21:47Steady, Walnuts.
01:21:48I don't want to hurt you.
01:21:52Why, you coward.
01:21:53Using your feet, huh?
01:21:56Sorry.
01:21:57Get after him.
01:21:58Get that record.
01:21:59Get after him.
01:22:00Get that record.
01:22:02Look.
01:22:03You come one step closer and I'll...
01:22:04I'll break this record into a thousand pieces.
01:22:07Wait a minute.
01:22:08Whose side am I on?
01:22:09Please, fellas.
01:22:10I can't go any higher than the ceiling.
01:22:12I'll blow my top.
01:22:13Get him down, Willie.
01:22:14Get the record.
01:22:15Ah, no reaching, nuts.
01:22:16Give it to me, Charlie.
01:22:17Watch out, Willie.
01:22:18Give it to me.
01:22:20Aha!
01:22:21Ray Millan's been here.
01:22:23Give it to me.
01:22:24I hate to do this, Willie.
01:22:26Get that record.
01:22:27Get it.
01:22:28Get that record.
01:22:30What's going on in here?
01:22:31What's going on in here?
01:22:33I'm Lieutenant Hennessy.
01:22:34Oh, Lieutenant.
01:22:35Oh, boy.
01:22:36Am I glad to see you.
01:22:37Arrest that man.
01:22:38He's a crook and a murderer.
01:22:39They're all murderers.
01:22:40Stand by.
01:22:41Are you all right?
01:22:42Yeah, thanks.
01:22:43You got here just in time.
01:22:44What is this?
01:22:45Well, the young fellow's a little mixed up, officer.
01:22:47I want you all to meet Ronnie Jackson,
01:22:49who's wanted by the state of California
01:22:50for the murder of one James Cullen.
01:22:52Just a minute.
01:22:53You listen to that record
01:22:54and you'll see who killed James Cullen.
01:22:56Yeah, get the record and we'll play it.
01:22:57Who's...
01:22:58Lock the door.
01:23:00Here.
01:23:01Come, watch.
01:23:02Listen to this.
01:23:03Come here.
01:23:04Stay here, Jim.
01:23:05Yes, sir.
01:23:08That's not all I'll show you.
01:23:09I'll fix these characters.
01:23:10The man's plum crazy.
01:23:11Wait till you hear this.
01:23:12I'll send all these guys to the cooler.
01:23:13That's right, Ronnie.
01:23:14You may be having a detective's convention,
01:23:16but I've been doing a little sleuthing myself
01:23:17in the modern way with a recording machine.
01:23:19Need any help?
01:23:20Give me that record.
01:23:21Back away, gremlin.
01:23:22All right.
01:23:23Gentlemen, the record you're about to hear
01:23:25not only clears me of a murder charge,
01:23:27but also exposes a tremendous international conspiracy.
01:23:30A conspiracy, gentlemen,
01:23:31which seeks to destroy civilization.
01:23:33Listen.
01:23:34He says murder, he says.
01:23:35Every time we kiss, he says murder, he says.
01:23:37At a time like this, he says murder, he says.
01:23:40Is that the language of love?
01:23:42No, this isn't the record.
01:23:44I've been framed.
01:23:45They switched the records.
01:23:46Come on, Bert.
01:23:47No, wait a minute.
01:23:48Mr. Fopper.
01:23:49Just a minute.
01:23:50Before you take him away,
01:23:51in that pocket,
01:23:52he has something that belongs to me.
01:23:54Give me that map.
01:23:55But it's not his.
01:23:56He's in Montez.
01:23:57Ask her.
01:23:58Ask Carlotta.
01:23:59Carlotta.
01:24:00Show him.
01:24:01Carlotta.
01:24:05Carlotta.
01:24:09Let's go, killer.
01:24:10Yeah.
01:24:17Well, that's about it.
01:24:19You know the rest.
01:24:20Quick trial.
01:24:22Carlotta never showing up.
01:24:25Nice deal.
01:24:26Women.
01:24:29Hey.
01:24:30Reminds me.
01:24:31Yeah, we're late.
01:24:32You're late.
01:24:33In about five minutes,
01:24:34I'll be the late Ronnie Jackson.
01:24:35Come on.
01:24:36We got tickets for this thing.
01:24:37Oh, fine.
01:24:38Remember, I'm doing this without a rehearsal.
01:24:43Is that too tight?
01:24:44Can you breathe?
01:24:45What's the difference?
01:24:46What is this thing, Doc?
01:24:48That is the stethoscope.
01:24:50Stethoscope?
01:24:52Still beating it.
01:24:55Well, hello, warden.
01:24:57Any news from the governor?
01:24:59Open up.
01:25:03Come here, son.
01:25:05You and I are gonna take a little walk.
01:25:10Steady, Jackson.
01:25:12You can take it.
01:25:16Get some water.
01:25:17Get some water.
01:25:22Now I lay me down to sleep,
01:25:23I lay me down to sleep.
01:25:27Oh, they got you too.
01:25:30You look alive.
01:25:31Yes.
01:25:33Where are we?
01:25:34Look.
01:25:36Carlotta.
01:25:37Carlotta.
01:25:38You double crosser.
01:25:39Why didn't you come to my trial?
01:25:40Where have you been?
01:25:41Ronnie, Ronnie.
01:25:42You're free.
01:25:43I'm free?
01:25:47Yeah, but how?
01:25:48Who did it?
01:25:49You did.
01:25:50With your own little keyhole camera.
01:25:51Look.
01:25:52Sam got this from Mrs. Fong
01:25:53and he claims the rest was just routine.
01:25:55My keyhole shot of the phony baron.
01:25:57So you're the McCoy.
01:25:59You know, man, I want to thank you for saving my life.
01:26:01Oh, it was nothing.
01:26:03And I did it.
01:26:04I knew I had it in me.
01:26:05Hey, maybe I was supposed to be a detective, huh?
01:26:08And yeah, that's it.
01:26:09Ronnie Jackson, the private eye.
01:26:11No, Ronnie, no.
01:26:13I think you'd better stick to taking baby pictures.
01:26:16Oh, I forgot to tell the executioner it's all off.
01:26:19Harry.
01:26:20It's all off.
01:26:22It's all off?
01:26:25Yes.
01:26:35Well, he'll take any kind of a part.
01:26:42Off.
01:26:52Off.
01:26:53Off.
