00:01:38 [music]

00:01:41 These are four brilliant criminals at the climax of their most magnificent effort.

00:01:46 [music]

00:01:50 This effort began six months ago in Puerto Verto, where we were all to board the ship for Africa.

00:01:55 They were my associates in a quest for uranium, an element not one of them knew the first thing about,

00:02:01 except that they'd heard you could get dough for it, big dough.

00:02:05 Who are... I mean, what do you suppose they are?

00:02:08 Businessmen, does it matter?

00:02:10 Well, if we're going to be on a small boat with them for weeks and weeks.

00:02:13 I only said they might be fellow passengers.

00:02:15 Harry, we must beware of those men. They're desperate characters.

00:02:19 What makes you say that?

00:02:21 Not one of them looked at my legs.

00:02:23 [music]

00:02:28 Good morning, Mrs. Janrother. Good morning, Billy Boy. Care to join us in the stroll?

00:02:32 Tear up the divase, sweat out the toxins, help nature to help you?

00:02:36 Wouldn't dream of it.

00:02:38 [music]

00:02:39 Really, Billy, you mustn't be so offhand with Mr. Peterson.

00:02:43 If I were to treat him with more than common politeness, he'd misunderstand and try to push me around.

00:02:48 Mr. Peterson is a bully.

00:02:50 Billy, did you see this?

00:02:53 [music]

00:02:54 That man in London has been killed.

00:02:57 What man?

00:02:58 Paul Van Meer, high-ranking official in the colonial office,

00:03:02 was stabbed to death early this morning by an unknown assailant outside a club in Soho.

00:03:08 This is the third crime of violence to occur in that vicinity within the past month.

00:03:13 What is it, Billy?

00:03:27 In heaven's name, Billy, say something.

00:03:30 You understand, of course, that Peterson arranged this.

00:03:44 It seems there's been a lot of violence around there lately.

00:03:47 Don't pretend to be a fool.

00:03:48 But look, Billy, this happened early Tuesday morning.

00:03:51 We'd all left London well before that.

00:03:53 What about Jack Ross? What about the galloping major?

00:03:56 But he only... I thought he only stayed behind to get that phone call from Ambassa, if it came through.

00:04:02 He'll be here this morning.

00:04:04 Well?

00:04:05 Don't get so excited. Don't jump to unpleasant conclusions.

00:04:09 Jump? They might as well have drawn a map.

00:04:11 Why was Peterson worried about Van Meer? What made him think he was dangerous?

00:04:15 He was afraid Van Meer wouldn't stay bought.

00:04:17 Afraid he'd get the wind up after we'd gone.

00:04:21 He had visions of him trotting upstairs to his superiors,

00:04:24 announcing, "I have certain information, certain persons have paid certain sums of money."

00:04:29 Don't talk so loud, Billy.

00:04:30 "To obtain illegal rights to certain mineral supplies."

00:04:33 That Indian, that Raj or whatever he was, that you worked for in the old days,

00:04:37 he killed a lot of people, didn't he?

00:04:39 Nah, but he had a better style.

00:04:41 Besides, he was out for a kingdom, half the size of France.

00:04:44 What's the difference between that and millions of dollars?

00:04:48 We must think of the future, Billy.

00:04:50 This is our big chance. It may be our last.

00:04:53 Except for Mr. Peterson, we couldn't even pay last night's hotel bill.

00:04:57 Where are you going?

00:04:59 I'm going to a cafe, drink a lot of Perenol and listen to the band.

00:05:02 You won't make a fuss, will you?

00:05:03 It doesn't do to make a fuss.

00:05:04 You have to think of the main objective.

00:05:09 Naturally, it doesn't do to be fussy.

00:05:19 Two milk, please.

00:05:21 Thank you.

00:05:22 The luggage is in there.

00:05:47 Bring it up.

00:05:49 Oh, look, the Desperados.

00:05:58 Shh.

00:06:00 Not quite now, Contract Billy. Hard liquor before noon.

00:06:04 I'm celebrating.

00:06:05 Celebrating what?

00:06:06 The safe arrival of the Major.

00:06:08 He came galloping in a minute ago, looking tired but satisfied.

00:06:12 I take it his mission was accomplished?

00:06:16 Yes, but it's getting on for lunchtime, gentlemen.

00:06:18 I'll see you later, Billy.

00:06:20 Your move, Gwendolyn.

00:06:25 Gwendolyn, it's your move.

00:06:28 Oh.

00:06:29 Check.

00:06:31 Last.

00:06:32 Are you sailing on the Niagara?

00:06:35 Africa bound.

00:06:37 So are we.

00:06:38 Oh, my name is Chell. This is my wife.

00:06:39 How do you do? My name's Dan.

00:06:41 How do you do?

00:06:42 Are your friends sailing too?

00:06:44 The whole kit and caboodle.

00:06:46 You're a very mysterious group, I must say.

00:06:48 Really, Gwendolyn?

00:06:49 How so mysterious?

00:06:51 Well, for one thing, you all appear to be of different nationalities.

00:06:55 Your move, Gwendolyn.

00:06:57 Check.

00:06:59 I have a theory about you and your friends.

00:07:02 Correction. My associates.

00:07:05 As a matter of fact, I think you're doctors.

00:07:09 Evil ones, I mean.

00:07:11 You're going to the heart of the jungle where human life is cheap...

00:07:14 ...to perform ghastly experiments which require the sacrifice of thousands on the altar of science.

00:07:19 You must excuse my wife. She has a very lively imagination.

00:07:23 Checkmate.

00:07:27 I don't know how you expect me to play a decent game when you keep talking all the time.

00:07:31 Harry's being all out of sorts today.

00:07:34 Usually he's a wonderful loser.

00:07:36 Good morning, Mr. Danrada.

00:07:38 I bring you the captain's compliments...

00:07:41 ...along with the sad news that the sailing of the SS Nyanga has been postponed.

00:07:45 Now look here. This boat is definitely, most definitely scheduled to sail at 2400 hours.

00:07:50 Scheduled, Mr. Chelm, but not, I fear, destined to do so.

00:07:54 Apollo, go on. Or is the captain drunk?

00:07:56 Of course the captain is drunk.

00:07:58 But the real trouble is with the oil pump.

00:08:00 Well, it's not good enough. Simply not good enough.

00:08:02 Quite right, sir. But you're putting it too mildly.

00:08:05 The present oil pump is no good at all.

00:08:07 Well, how much delay does this mean?

00:08:09 To locate, bargain for, purchase and install a new one would require, I should say...

00:08:13 ...more than a day, less than a fortnight.

00:08:16 Utter hopeless inefficiency.

00:08:19 Probably it isn't the oil pump at all.

00:08:21 Just making it an excuse to hang about and pick up extra cargo.

00:08:25 Gardens are open. I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be a smuggler.

00:08:29 What a miserable place to be stuck in.

00:08:31 Squalid, fifth-rate port.

00:08:33 Ever been in Fort Averdell before?

00:08:36 No, I don't know this part of the world at all.

00:08:38 I thought not. Otherwise you wouldn't be so upset about staying.

00:08:41 Magnificent country.

00:08:43 Ruins divided by moonlight, fine stretch of beach.

00:08:46 Back there in the hills, one of the few spots left in the world...

00:08:50 ...where you can get decent food and drink.

00:08:52 It's called the Blue Pavilion.

00:08:54 I insist you give me the pleasure of having dinner with us tonight.

00:08:58 - Oh, that's awfully kind of you, but... - Us?

00:09:01 - You and your associates? - My wife and me.

00:09:04 - The committee? - Oh, Mr. Chelm, I want you to meet a friend of mine.

00:09:09 - This is the galloping major. - The committee wants you to toddle around.

00:09:13 - Okay. - Right away.

00:09:15 - I'll be along. - Better toddle.

00:09:17 - I said I'd be along. - They don't like to be kept waiting.

00:09:20 I'll lay on a car. We'll meet in front of the hotel at six.

00:09:24 Out of a Dutchie.

00:09:26 Danrath. An American, I suppose.

00:09:32 Anyway, I quite like him.

00:09:35 Time. 24 hours in the day, 1,440 minutes...

00:09:39 ...for somebody else to get busy on the same idea as ours.

00:09:42 We ought to have got the plane and flown out, as I said from the start.

00:09:45 - You remember I said it, O'Hara? - My name is not O'Hara. It is O'Hara.

00:09:49 - You hear? Mr. O'Hara. - Yes, Mr. O'Hara.

00:09:52 But you remember I said it? I said we ought to take a plane.

00:09:55 Time, time. What is time?

00:09:57 Swiss-manufactured, French-ordered, Italian-squandered...

00:10:01 ...Americans say it is money, Hindus say it does not exist.

00:10:04 You know what I say? I say time is a crook.

00:10:07 If we took a plane, we'd be there inside 15 hours.

00:10:10 - Instead of... - I don't want any more talk about flying.

00:10:13 The sky is for the birds. My feet are on the ground. Both of them.

00:10:16 Come in, Billy boy.

00:10:20 - What's all the fuss about? - No fuss, Billy.

00:10:25 We're merely wondering what course to pursue in view of this unfortunate delay.

00:10:29 Join the peasants and their rebels. Go to church. Write your memoirs.

00:10:33 Very funny. I like an associate of mine to have a sense of humor.

00:10:39 Good laugh does more for the stomach muscles than five minutes setting up exercises.

00:10:44 Now that we've had our moment of fun, let's get back to the question.

00:10:50 Doesn't this delay call for a cable to your friend in British East?

00:10:54 Mustn't send cables. Can't you get it through your heads...

00:10:57 that the British and down there has trained noses, they can smell a uranium deal...

00:11:01 like a cat smells fish?

00:11:03 But aren't you afraid, Billy, that when our little party doesn't show up on the date you said...

00:11:07 aren't you a teeny bit afraid that your friend might use that as an excuse...

00:11:11 to begin negotiations elsewhere?

00:11:14 If my friend were looking for an excuse, you'd find a better one in the morning papers.

00:11:19 - What do you mean? - I'm talking about the untimely demise of Paul Van Meer.

00:11:25 I'm appalled, Billy.

00:11:27 What an unwholesome opinion you must have of your colleagues to imagine that we...

00:11:32 Look here, Peterson, you don't have to convince me of anything.

00:11:35 You don't care what I think as long as I don't do anything about it.

00:11:38 And I won't, unless you ever decide to stick that knife-happy little junkie on me.

00:11:42 Watch yourself, Lennie.

00:11:44 Now, Jack, behave yourself.

00:11:47 Sit down.

00:11:50 For shame, Billy.

00:11:52 I think you owe an apology to everybody in this room.

00:11:55 And if you're half the gentleman I know you are, I'm sure you'll make it.

00:11:59 As I was saying, you have nothing to worry about.

00:12:02 My friend won't pull out unless I tell him to.

00:12:04 For purely venal reasons, that's the last thing I have in mind.

00:12:08 Jack, give Billy a light.

00:12:12 What a wonderful car.

00:12:14 It looks as if it had won the Grand Prix d'Elegance many years ago.

00:12:17 Oh, it did. It was built for Oroposo.

00:12:19 You know, the bullfighter. He had it made this way so he could stand up and take bows.

00:12:23 He only got one ride in. Never queefed it to me on his deathbed.

00:12:26 Well, here's to Oroposo. I hope you like champagne.

00:12:29 You mean it's yours?

00:12:31 Yes, it's mine.

00:12:33 I'm not going to let you down.

00:12:35 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:37 I'm not going to let you down.

00:12:39 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:41 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:43 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:45 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:47 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:49 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:51 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:53 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:55 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:57 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:12:59 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:13:01 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:13:03 I'm going to get you a drink.

00:13:05 I am English.

00:13:07 I serve tea every afternoon with crumpets.

00:13:10 And I've always kept up my subscription to Country Life and to Ted.

00:13:15 Trouble with England, it's all pomp and no circumstance.

00:13:17 You're very wise to get out of it. Escape while you can.

00:13:20 I'd hardly describe myself as escaping.

00:13:22 Simply so happened that a relative of mine, first cousin actually,

00:13:25 who died recently, happened to be the owner of a coffee plantation.

00:13:28 Africa's the place now. You talk about the diamond boys, the gold boys.

00:13:31 They just skimmed a little off the top.

00:13:33 Potential mineral wealth of Africa's hardly been scratched.

00:13:36 Now there is a villa.

00:13:38 Big.

00:13:39 Well, that's the Villa Capriccio.

00:13:41 Famed in song and story. A three-star attraction in Baydecker.

00:13:44 Whose is it?

00:13:45 Well, the bank's on it now. It used to be mine.

00:13:47 Yours?

00:13:48 Yes, I brought old Charles over from Food Cage.

00:13:50 You know, the old Food Cage, to run it for me.

00:13:52 Then when I decided to pull up stakes, I bought him this restaurant we're going to.

00:13:56 Least I could do to show my appreciation.

00:13:58 Well, here we are.

00:14:00 Charles! Charles!

00:14:02 Wait here a minute while I round old Charles out.

00:14:04 He doesn't even know we're in this neck of the woods.

00:14:06 Charles! Charles!

00:14:09 He must think we're extraordinarily naive.

00:14:12 Knew all those people. Owned that vast villa.

00:14:15 Bought this place because he liked the fellas' cooking.

00:14:18 What utter balderdash.

00:14:20 Perhaps he did.

00:14:21 I beg leave to doubt it.

00:14:22 Did you notice his wife?

00:14:24 She seemed to be rather a sensitive little woman.

00:14:26 Rarely embarrassed by all that rot.

00:14:28 I am sorry, signore.

00:14:29 As you see, we are closed.

00:14:31 We do not open for another two months.

00:14:34 Charles, what the devil's going on here?

00:14:36 This place is falling to rack and ruin.

00:14:38 Place is closed. We shall have to die in the hotel after all.

00:14:40 Monsieur Don!

00:14:42 Monsieur, Monsieur Don!

00:14:46 Madame, why did you not let me know you were coming?

00:14:51 You did not say you were with Monsieur Don.

00:14:54 Nothing is closed to Monsieur Don.

00:14:56 I'm glad to see you again, Charles.

00:14:58 It's been too long, Monsieur Don.

00:15:00 Not since the night you left the villa.

00:15:03 Remember your farewell party.

00:15:05 I try never since to forget it.

00:15:07 Remember how in the morning we escorted you to the train

00:15:10 with violins playing and everybody cried

00:15:14 like when a king you love very much leaves this country.

00:15:18 Aren't you dressed yet?

00:15:22 Do I appear to be dressed?

00:15:24 Do dress. Do hurry.

00:15:26 It's a most wonderful day.

00:15:28 And Billy wants us to drive out and see his villa.

00:15:30 His former villa.

00:15:32 Obviously I can't go. I've got a chill on my liver.

00:15:36 What a miserable place to be ill.

00:15:40 And you forgot to pack my hot water bottle.

00:15:42 You packed it.

00:15:44 Gwendolyn, I distinctly remember.

00:15:46 Hello.

00:15:50 Oh, hello.

00:15:52 No, I'm afraid we can't.

00:15:54 Harry has this wretched chill.

00:15:56 Give me the telephone.

00:15:58 Chilm here. Yes.

00:16:01 Quite.

00:16:04 Absolutely. A hot water bottle.

00:16:07 That's very, very good of you, old boy.

00:16:11 Look here, Danrother.

00:16:13 Would you mind very much if my wife went alone?

00:16:16 She enjoys this sightseeing sort of stuff, you know.

00:16:19 Splendid. Splendid.

00:16:21 I'll send her along.

00:16:24 You know, Gwendolyn, nowadays,

00:16:26 one simply cannot afford to dismiss people

00:16:28 just because they're not one's sort.

00:16:30 One has to try and bridge the gulf.

00:16:33 After all, it's a new world we're going into.

00:16:36 One's got to take it as one finds it.

00:16:38 Face it. Use it. Master it.

00:16:41 Use it. Master it.

00:16:43 (MUSIC PLAYING)

00:17:12 You know, I've seen Americans on the street

00:17:15 and in the cinema, of course,

00:17:17 but I've never talked to one before.

00:17:19 Are you a typical American?

00:17:21 I think it's important that I should know.

00:17:23 Why important?

00:17:25 There are two good reasons for falling in love.

00:17:29 One is that the object of your affections

00:17:32 is unlike anyone else.

00:17:34 A rare spirit, such as Lord Byron.

00:17:37 The other is that he's, like everybody else,

00:17:39 only superior.

00:17:41 Harry, for instance, is the very best of a type.

00:17:44 Well, if you must know, I'm a typical rare spirit.

00:17:47 How long did you live here?

00:17:49 Oh, the longest I've ever lived anywhere is two years.

00:17:52 But when you were a child,

00:17:54 didn't you ever have a mother and a father

00:17:56 and a house and a street and a town?

00:17:58 No, I was an orphan until I was 20,

00:18:00 and then a rich and beautiful lady adopted me.

00:18:03 You know, I've changed my mind about your being an evil doctor.

00:18:08 You're off to keep a rendezvous someplace in Africa

00:18:11 sacred to the tribesmen.

00:18:13 You're going to found a new empire

00:18:15 and make yourself master of the riches of the world.

00:18:19 But you need a beautiful blonde queen

00:18:21 to impress the natives as...

00:18:23 as the incarnation of the Queen of Sheba.

00:18:26 That's why you're making a pass at me.

00:18:28 Am I?

00:18:30 Of course.

00:18:32 I don't generally go sightseeing with strange men.

00:18:35 You don't believe that, do you?

00:18:37 Oh, I believe anything you say.

00:18:39 - Do you? - Mm.

00:18:41 Well, you shouldn't, you know. You really shouldn't.

00:18:44 - Mr. Charlton? - Yes?

00:18:47 It's I, Mrs. Darnother, Maria.

00:18:50 Oh, come in.

00:18:52 Tea for two and two for tea.

00:18:56 Now, that's most awfully kind of you.

00:18:58 You shouldn't have troubled, really.

00:19:00 Billy told me you had a chill.

00:19:02 Bit of one on the liver, two tarsal.

00:19:04 - Milk, of course. - Of course.

00:19:07 I feel I should like somehow to do him a good turn of some kind.

00:19:12 - You do? - Well, naturally.

00:19:14 Oh, I see. Naturally.

00:19:16 I think it would be nice if...

00:19:19 if you were able to do something for him.

00:19:21 Help him along.

00:19:23 Give him the benefit of your advice.

00:19:25 Delighted, of course. For instance...

00:19:27 Oh, something with business.

00:19:30 He was very pleased with that tip you gave him

00:19:32 on the way home last night about the gold shares.

00:19:34 I've forgotten what I told him. What was it?

00:19:37 I don't remember either.

00:19:40 I was listening to your voice.

00:19:42 I wasn't listening to what you said.

00:19:45 You see, if you were helping him,

00:19:49 it would be so much easier for us to be together a lot out there in Africa.

00:19:53 Was he any head for business?

00:19:55 Why, he's simply brilliant.

00:19:57 I wouldn't have thought it.

00:19:59 But of course he is.

00:20:01 You don't suppose I'd marry a ninny, do you?

00:20:04 If you imagine that Harry's simply going to Africa to plant coffee,

00:20:08 you're very much mistaken.

00:20:10 In point of fact...

00:20:12 In point of fact, coffee is the least of Harry's interests.

00:20:16 In point of fact, the land he's acquiring

00:20:20 is extremely rich in certain minerals.

00:20:22 Minerals which are indispensable to the production of atomic energy.

00:20:26 Harry's land simply teems with uranium.

00:20:29 It wouldn't surprise me to see him become the uranium king.

00:20:32 So you see, my husband isn't such a ninny as you may have imagined.

00:20:36 It might very well be worth your while to go in with him.

00:20:40 The potential mineral wealth of Africa's hardly been scratched.

00:20:43 I was telling you last night.

00:20:45 Well, of course. It's a well-known fact.

00:20:49 (Engine rumbles)

00:20:51 Billy boy.

00:21:06 Had a happy day?

00:21:11 Very. I'm so glad.

00:21:13 What an attractive woman.

00:21:15 - Is that what you called me over to tell me? - Who are the Chelms?

00:21:18 They're English. Going out to British East. They have a coffee plantation.

00:21:21 - Any money in coffee? - No.

00:21:23 But there's a type of Englishman goes off to coffee plantations

00:21:26 without caring whether there's any money in it or not.

00:21:28 Relatives leave them coffee plantations and they go out to them.

00:21:31 But why this sudden interest in the Chelms?

00:21:33 I'd just like to know who's making friends with my friends.

00:21:36 Now you know.

00:21:38 (Horse whinnies)

00:21:42 I don't believe one word.

00:21:44 You know, if I ever leave you,

00:21:53 it'll be for someone of the type of Harry Chelm.

00:21:56 I believe her you.

00:21:58 I suppose that type of Englishman is like a story I once heard.

00:22:02 An English gardener in England was showing some Americans

00:22:06 one of those boys who was going to marry a girl from England.

00:22:10 And he was showing some Americans one of those wonderful English lawns.

00:22:15 And of course, they wanted to know how to make a lawn like that.

00:22:18 And this English gardener said...

00:22:20 He said, "All you have to do is get some good grass

00:22:23 and roll it every day for 600 years."

00:22:25 I heard that story before you were born.

00:22:27 Englishmen tell it when they're feeling down in the mouth.

00:22:30 You just don't understand the Chelm type.

00:22:33 (Humming)

00:22:34 You're not even listening. You never do.

00:22:37 You say goodbye, and you won't hear that either.

00:22:40 One day, you shall really meet my type and run off with him.

00:22:44 And you'll be simply amazed.

00:22:46 That's possible.

00:22:48 George Moore said-- I learned it by heart years ago--

00:22:52 he said that each great passion

00:22:55 is the fruit of many fruitless years.

00:22:58 George Moore was a very distinguished English writer, you know.

00:23:02 Except that he was Irish.

00:23:04 Cheer up, sugar.

00:23:06 If I make a million on this deal,

00:23:08 I'll buy you an old English lawn

00:23:10 when we can roll up and take withers.

00:23:13 Billy, good morning.

00:23:19 What's our wide-eyed Irish leprechaun doing outside my door?

00:23:23 Why do you always make jokes about my name, huh?

00:23:26 In Chile, the name of O'Hara is a tip-top name.

00:23:29 Many Germans in Chile have become to be called O'Hara.

00:23:33 Good morning, Mr. O'Hara.

00:23:35 Madame, my respects.

00:23:37 Perhaps Mr. O'Hara would like something to drink?

00:23:40 Yes, uh, maybe perhaps, uh, a little whiskey, huh?

00:23:44 Very weak, please.

00:23:46 What's this visit in honor of?

00:23:48 Oh, just wanted to have a little talk with you.

00:23:53 Okay, but make it fast.

00:23:55 Fast?

00:23:57 I give you my word, Billy, I--

00:23:59 I give you my word, I feel to you like, uh--

00:24:03 like an older brother.

00:24:05 Oh, it's not so much a difference of age, it's, uh--

00:24:08 it's probably-- yes, the reason is because--

00:24:11 'cause I come from a culture which is so much older than yours in my country.

00:24:17 A child, six years old, is older in his heart than you'll be at 60.

00:24:23 It smokes, it drinks, it philosophizes.

00:24:26 At this rate, I'll be 60 before you get to the point.

00:24:29 The point--

00:24:31 The point is that-- that Peterson revealed myself.

00:24:35 We are the principals in this case.

00:24:37 We are in with the money.

00:24:39 We cannot switch around and turn and--

00:24:41 But an agent, it's easy to imagine that he could conceivably--

00:24:47 doesn't feel himself quite as irrevocably committed as, uh, Peterson or--

00:24:53 They're fellow passengers, I believe.

00:24:58 Not quite yet, would you say?

00:25:00 That's sadly true.

00:25:01 By any chance, you-- you don't happen to have seen your Mr. Danrother about?

00:25:04 I don't think Billy's up yet.

00:25:06 He's not 11, he's rather a late riser.

00:25:08 But he said-- he said--

00:25:10 Well, anyway.

00:25:11 I shouldn't put too much stock on what Billy says,

00:25:13 particularly when he's had a few drinks.

00:25:15 It's not that he means to break his word, he just forgets that he's given it.

00:25:18 Charm and dependability so seldom go in one package.

00:25:21 There are exceptions, of course.

00:25:23 Your husband, I imagine, from his manner and behavior, is one.

00:25:26 Oh, yes, very.

00:25:28 Well, quite, Harry.

00:25:29 I'm so looking forward to meeting your husband and having a chat about Africa.

00:25:32 By all means.

00:25:34 I understand he's in coffee?

00:25:36 He makes it sound like a total immersion.

00:25:39 Part of Africa we're going to is due for some pretty important changes.

00:25:43 In my opinion, things will be booming out there before you can say Jack Robinson.

00:25:47 I do hope there won't be too many changes.

00:25:49 It's completely unspoiled, I hear, with some of the loveliest scenery in the world.

00:25:53 I can't imagine anything more lovely in the way of scenery

00:25:55 than to have a few acres of gold and diamonds

00:25:57 cropping up on a piece of land I bought for a song.

00:26:00 Heaven forbid.

00:26:01 Next thing, there'd be big ugly holes everywhere

00:26:03 and great horrid machines instead of lovely scenery.

00:26:08 Anyway, I don't think my husband worries much about money and business, that sort of thing.

00:26:12 Really?

00:26:14 I mean, to appreciate my husband's point of view,

00:26:16 one has to understand his background.

00:26:19 Those lawns, hundreds of years in the making.

00:26:22 Those immemorial elms.

00:26:24 Those walls hung with family portraits, generations of them.

00:26:28 Those great echoing galleries where so much of English history is being made.

00:26:33 Taxes must be terrific on a place like that.

00:26:36 What would people like the Chelms care about taxes with their kind of money?

00:26:41 I mean, when a family's been a power in the city of London for so long.

00:26:45 One of the great financial families.

00:26:47 Power in the city? You mean...

00:26:50 Oh, yes, of course, one of those Chelms.

00:26:52 I'm surprised you know about them at all.

00:26:55 Very few people do.

00:26:57 They prefer to work behind the scenes.

00:26:59 I find it rather hard to believe that a man in your husband's position

00:27:02 would go to Africa just for the coffee plotty.

00:27:06 You're very quick, aren't you?

00:27:08 In point of fact, he isn't.

00:27:10 In point of fact, he has a very special reason.

00:27:13 So I suspect it.

00:27:15 It has to do with... sin.

00:27:18 Sin?

00:27:20 Since the war, my husband has been almost exclusively concerned

00:27:24 with spiritual values.

00:27:26 He feels that if he can get away there, in the heart of Africa,

00:27:30 he will come face to face with essentials.

00:27:33 He wants to work out the problem of sin.

00:27:35 Sin?

00:27:37 Why, yes, of course.

00:27:39 Isn't that what we're all most concerned with?

00:27:41 Sin?

00:27:43 Gwendolyn, what are you doing here?

00:27:46 I thought we were supposed to meet on the beach.

00:27:48 Harry, I want you to meet Mr...

00:27:50 My name is Peterson.

00:27:52 I've been having the most delightful talk to your wife.

00:27:54 She tells me you're interested in spiritual values.

00:27:57 I myself am vastly concerned.

00:27:59 Harry, we'd really better be going.

00:28:01 You'll excuse us, Mr. Peterson.

00:28:03 What have you been telling that man?

00:28:05 Nothing, Harry. He got on to the subject of religion.

00:28:08 I just happened to mention that we usually go to church on Sunday.

00:28:11 Billie, I think it is high time you take stock of yourself.

00:28:17 Can you truthfully say about yourself,

00:28:19 "I, I, Billie Danreuther,

00:28:21 have acted fairly and squarely to my associates"?

00:28:25 But of course he can, Mr. O'Hara.

00:28:27 Everybody knows Billie's the soul of honor.

00:28:29 Shut up, Shiver.

00:28:30 Perhaps he is the soul of honor, and perhaps appearances are deceiving.

00:28:33 Do you mind telling me what it is I'm supposed to have done?

00:28:36 Nothing. It's your conduct.

00:28:38 Your... Your conduct is...

00:28:40 Your conduct does not inspire confidence,

00:28:43 and confidence, Billie, is the most important necessity

00:28:46 in an undertaking of our kind.

00:28:48 One may be completely innocent,

00:28:50 but if one's actions invite suspicion, one might as well be guilty.

00:28:53 To be trustworthy is not more important

00:28:55 than to seem to be trustworthy.

00:28:58 Billie, have you done something you shouldn't have?

00:29:04 Tell me, Billie.

00:29:07 Tell me the truth.

00:29:09 My conduct.

00:29:11 Who do they think I am, their hired man?

00:29:14 But you are, you know.

00:29:16 You are the hired man.

00:29:18 How good and kind of you to remind me.

00:29:21 How good, how true, how kind.

00:29:25 Oh, I say, Danreuther, good to see you.

00:29:43 How about a drink?

00:29:44 Well, I...

00:29:45 Oh, come on, my dear fellow, let me buy you a drink.

00:29:48 Oh, Gwendoline, don't forget to send one to Aunt Beatrice.

00:29:53 I can't understand it.

00:29:57 Gwendoline distinctly said she'd join me on the beach.

00:29:59 Then I come back and find her sitting there in that cafe.

00:30:01 Extraordinary creatures, women.

00:30:03 Well, let's drink to them.

00:30:05 Pernod.

00:30:06 Scotch.

00:30:07 Come on, you tiny little wreck, have a drink.

00:30:09 We're drinking to women.

00:30:12 Take the drink, but we won't join you in the toast.

00:30:15 Glass of Irish.

00:30:17 Women.

00:30:18 Hitler had the right idea.

00:30:19 Keep them in their place.

00:30:20 Clined akin to Kirk and babies in the kitchen.

00:30:23 Say what you want to about Hitler, he had his points.

00:30:25 Come, come. Look here.

00:30:26 This generation's had its chance.

00:30:28 Hitler, Mussolini, those were the men.

00:30:30 Now is the age of the barbarians.

00:30:32 The world's going up in smoke.

00:30:33 I say, let it come, get it over with.

00:30:35 Well, if you don't mind, I'd like another year or so of worry.

00:30:38 Worry? Just one minute, laddies.

00:30:41 I've just two or three words to say to you, laddies, and that's don't worry.

00:30:44 Don't ever worry.

00:30:46 I'm in a position to know secret information.

00:30:49 The Rosicrucians, the Great White Brotherhood, the High Secret Orders.

00:30:52 But you've no faith. You must have faith.

00:30:55 Faith and power, secret power.

00:30:57 Men who guard the trust from the deepest inside of the watchmen, call it.

00:31:00 Mystic rulers, all one club, chained together by one purpose, one idea.

00:31:04 Mankind's champions. Follow me, Billy?

00:31:06 Oh, why, of course.

00:31:08 This generation's had its chance. Hitler, Mussolini.

00:31:11 I can't stand here and permit you...

00:31:13 Are you interrupting me?

00:31:14 Relax, Jack. Have another drink.

00:31:16 I simply want to state that things don't happen to me what certain people imagine.

00:31:20 An officer may find himself strapped for money,

00:31:23 and he may undertake certain things which in other circumstances, no, absolutely no.

00:31:27 Absolutely. I mean, absolutely no.

00:31:30 In the old days, I should have simply told people of your ilk to buy their own drinks.

00:31:35 Poor old Jack.

00:31:37 I'll teach you.

00:31:39 I'll teach you to insult an ex-officer of the Indian Army.

00:31:45 Well, are you yellow?

00:31:47 The bar.

00:31:51 You're Major Ross?

00:31:53 Right.

00:31:55 Ross here.

00:31:59 Right.

00:32:01 Right again.

00:32:02 Come along to the committee.

00:32:04 Save for the bell.

00:32:06 I've never heard such rot in my life. Sin.

00:32:13 Oh, sin.

00:32:14 All I could do was to keep a straight face.

00:32:16 No, I'm certain of it now.

00:32:17 These are two very clever and dangerous antagonists.

00:32:20 Sit here and help me close this.

00:32:21 But how could they possibly know what we're up to?

00:32:23 Great interests like the Chelms have ways and means.

00:32:26 Yes, and I'm convinced they're out to get us even before we get started.

00:32:29 We must get ahead of them.

00:32:30 Time has entered the picture in a new way.

00:32:32 Never forget the time factor, gentlemen.

00:32:34 It always enters the picture in the end.

00:32:36 I'm sending a cable to London.

00:32:37 I want full information on those Chelm interests.

00:32:40 British Africa, too.

00:32:41 Check up on his interests there.

00:32:42 Every time the plane lands, I'll try and reach you by telephone.

00:32:45 Keep me informed of the latest development.

00:32:46 Damn Reuter, that lying, swineish, rum-swilling double-crosser.

00:32:50 What pleasure I'd be given.

00:32:52 No, you can't at the moment.

00:32:53 We need him right now.

00:32:55 We need that swineish, lying, double-crosser.

00:32:57 Did I hear my name?

00:32:58 Rub-a-dub-dub.

00:33:00 Three men and a tub.

00:33:02 Tub?

00:33:04 Oh.

00:33:05 Been a change of plan, Billy-boy.

00:33:08 You and I leaving for Africa.

00:33:09 How's that?

00:33:10 You and I are flying to Africa by the next plane.

00:33:13 Oh, what's happened, Peterson?

00:33:14 Must be something important to get you on a plane.

00:33:16 Perfectly simple, Billy-boy.

00:33:18 The trouble with the oil pump and the general uncertainty about when the Anga will sail

00:33:21 forces me to sacrifice my personal comfort.

00:33:24 I prefer to fly rather than run the risk of arriving too late.

00:33:27 There's also such a thing as arriving too early.

00:33:30 What do you mean by that?

00:33:31 Well, the land doesn't come up for auction for a couple of weeks.

00:33:34 My friend can't make his move until then.

00:33:36 If we sit around British East all that time,

00:33:38 somebody's going to start wondering who we are and ask questions.

00:33:41 Is that your real opinion, Billy, or are you just looking forward to a long sea voyage

00:33:45 with the attractive Mrs. Chelm as your companion?

00:33:48 Or perhaps you have even other reasons.

00:33:50 Such as?

00:33:51 That's for you to know and for us to find out.

00:33:53 You'd better get your packing done.

00:33:56 Billy!

00:33:57 Where are you going?

00:33:59 Off to Africa, flying.

00:34:01 Just like that?

00:34:03 Weren't you even going to kiss me goodbye?

00:34:06 I wish...

00:34:12 Don't say it.

00:34:13 What?

00:34:14 That you wish we'd never met.

00:34:16 You'll be coming on the boat and in Africa we'll get together and...

00:34:18 I think I hate you.

00:34:20 Letting those revolting men order me around.

00:34:22 Don't deny it. I've watched them.

00:34:24 They treat you like a servant.

00:34:26 They say, "Hop it," and off you hop.

00:34:29 I know what it is.

00:34:31 They have a hold on you.

00:34:33 Some black secret that could ruin you.

00:34:36 What makes you think that?

00:34:38 No, it happens all the time.

00:34:40 My old Spanish nurse told me that half the people in the world

00:34:42 would be ruined at once if everyone told what they knew.

00:34:45 But...

00:34:46 couldn't you have them done away with?

00:34:49 You must know plenty of people who could bump them off.

00:34:53 It probably cost a good deal, but it'd be worth it, certainly.

00:34:56 It's not impossible, except that afterwards I wouldn't have any money.

00:34:59 This way I stand to make a lot.

00:35:01 - Millions? - Maybe.

00:35:03 Then perhaps your connection with those men

00:35:06 isn't quite so undignified as I thought.

00:35:09 Those millions, would they be pounds or dollars?

00:35:14 Either way suits me.

00:35:16 No, that's very careless of you.

00:35:18 The state of the pound is so uncertain.

00:35:20 You must think in terms of hard currency.

00:35:23 Maybe I should hire you to handle my affairs.

00:35:26 You could do worse.

00:35:28 I'm awfully intelligent, really.

00:35:30 Come along, Billy boy. The car's waiting.

00:38:20 What?

00:38:21 You planned it that way. I know what you're up to. I know everything.

00:38:23 I know about the uranium on the Chelm's land,

00:38:25 the Chelm interests in the city of London.

00:38:27 The what?

00:38:28 You heard me, the Chelm interests.

00:38:29 I take it your information comes from a reliable source.

00:38:31 It does, from Mrs. Chelm herself, in fact.

00:38:33 Ha ha ha, magnificent. Simply magnificent.

00:38:36 You must pay me back for the loss of my beautiful car.

00:38:38 If you weren't a benighted jackass, if you could see as far as you could spit,

00:38:41 you'd know there's no such thing as the Chelm interests.

00:38:43 You'll have to do better than that, Mr. Danrother.

00:38:45 Very much better than that.

00:38:46 Don't believe me. Check with London.

00:38:48 If you find out it's anything more than a down-at-heel Gloucestershire squire,

00:38:51 you can have my services for nothing.

00:38:53 You mean Mrs. Chelm is an unqualified liar?

00:38:57 Well, let's say she uses her imagination rather than her memory.

00:39:00 You will make restitution.

00:39:02 We know, Mr. Dan, either the money or a new car.

00:39:05 Why, you fat bandit, I gave you the car in the first place.

00:39:08 How I came by it is beside the point.

00:39:11 The fact you gave it to me doesn't make it any less mine.

00:39:15 Shut up.

00:39:16 That's right. Threaten me.

00:39:19 It is not enough that you destroy my beautiful car.

00:39:22 Now you...

00:39:24 Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!

00:39:30 More than anything, I want Billy to make a grand success out there.

00:39:42 As you care so much about money,

00:39:46 I should have thought you would have left Billy for some rich man.

00:39:49 I shouldn't think Billy would mind, really.

00:39:52 I mean, neither of you are in love or anything.

00:39:55 You are a strange girl.

00:39:58 Of course I love Billy.

00:40:00 Actually, I adore him.

00:40:02 And Billy loves me very, very, but...

00:40:06 very much.

00:40:08 That's why I trust him with his little unimportant amours.

00:40:11 And what does he say about yours?

00:40:13 But darling, all husbands like their wives to seem attractive to other men.

00:40:19 Be sure you explain that to Harry.

00:40:25 I'm going back to the hotel.

00:40:27 Mrs. Danrover, Maria.

00:40:35 I have, I'm afraid, I have some shocking news for you.

00:40:38 The boat is not going at all?

00:40:40 There's been a terrible accident.

00:40:42 Your husband's car drove over a cliff.

00:40:45 The people on the bus saw it fall into the sea.

00:40:47 It seems almost certain, but...

00:40:49 What is it? What are you trying to say?

00:40:51 He's saying that Billy is dead.

00:40:56 It's become necessary to redistribute the stock in our company.

00:41:01 Stock, stock! What good is the stock now?

00:41:04 We can't deal with Darada's friends.

00:41:06 Not without Darada.

00:41:08 All the effort, the money,

00:41:11 everything went over the cliff with that car.

00:41:14 Ravello, you forget the English are very sentimental people.

00:41:17 I tell you, there is nothing that Billy's friend will not do for his widow.

00:41:21 And in black, she's a very touching figure.

00:41:26 Poor Maria. You really have had a wretched time with her.

00:41:31 You are very understanding.

00:41:34 If only there was something I could do.

00:41:37 Just now, if you could bring me an aspirin.

00:41:40 I have a headache.

00:41:42 Don't move. Just you wait there. I'll be back in a moment.

00:41:45 Mussolini, Hitler, and now Peterson.

00:41:50 A great man, a great loss.

00:41:53 I'm going upstairs and reading my Bible.

00:41:58 Why all the clothes?

00:42:02 Maria has a headache.

00:42:06 (Maria crying)

00:42:08 What's the matter with you?

00:42:11 Go away.

00:42:13 My dear girl, I'm as sorry about Dan Rather as you are.

00:42:15 But after all, it isn't as if he was one of our oldest friends.

00:42:18 I was in love with him.

00:42:20 He was a very pleasant acquaintance.

00:42:21 What did you say?

00:42:22 I was in love with him.

00:42:24 Really, darling, have you no control over your romantic fantasies?

00:42:27 I loved him. Can't you hear me?

00:42:30 I love you, I love you!

00:42:32 Oh, rot! You're just dramatizing again.

00:42:34 By George, you were right after all.

00:42:37 I did pet it.

00:42:39 Oh, what shall I do?

00:42:43 I feel as though I were drowning.

00:42:46 He's dead.

00:42:48 He's dead and I'm left with a fool like you.

00:42:52 I'll tell you what to do. Have a bit of shut eye.

00:42:55 You'll wake up in an hour feeling your old self again.

00:42:57 And there'll be no more silly stories about falling for a middle-aged roustabout.

00:43:01 If you so wish.

00:43:03 Oh, please go away.

00:43:05 I'll just take these to Maria.

00:43:07 Mr. Chelm, this is very important for you as well as for myself.

00:43:18 Yes, well, get on with it.

00:43:19 There is now an opportunity for you to secure enormous profits with virtually no risk.

00:43:24 I want to read about Leboche.

00:43:26 Our papers in good...

00:43:27 For you as Billy's widow, it will be very easy to persuade his friend in British East and for capital.

00:43:32 We have Chelm.

00:43:33 Why don't you be less informed as to my interest?

00:43:36 What's the matter with all of you?

00:43:50 Somebody dead?

00:43:51 A car. It went over a cliff.

00:43:53 We thought you'd both been killed.

00:43:55 Don't bother. I'm delighted to see you're alive.

00:43:57 But your wife is in a fainting condition.

00:43:59 Do you mean you're not dead at all?

00:44:02 Obviously I'm not dead.

00:44:03 I knew you weren't dead. I knew it.

00:44:05 I counted 13 backwards 13 times.

00:44:07 My old Spanish nurse said if you did that, a miracle would happen.

00:44:10 And you see, it has.

00:44:12 Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the glad tidings.

00:44:16 The captain is sober and the SS Nyanga will sail at midnight.

00:44:20 Go! Go! Go!

00:44:28 It's the port bank!

00:44:30 Shut up!

00:44:32 I can't see it anymore.

00:44:34 What can have happened to it?

00:44:37 My dispatch box, where is it?

00:44:39 A black tin box this size. What have you done with it?

00:44:41 I told you to take the most particular care of it.

00:44:46 I shall not go on board till my dispatch box has been found.

00:44:49 You're having trouble, Chelm?

00:44:50 I think that I can't cope with myself, thank you.

00:44:57 He says he put it in your cabin, whatever it is.

00:44:59 Idiot! Why didn't he say so in the first place?

00:45:01 Say, look.

00:45:05 What's happened to Harry?

00:45:07 You've been giving me the fish eye all evening.

00:45:09 Oh?

00:45:10 What is it?

00:45:11 Perhaps it's because when I thought you were dead, I told him I was in love with you.

00:45:15 You what?

00:45:16 I couldn't help it. It made you seem less dead.

00:45:19 And?

00:45:20 Oh, he didn't believe me.

00:45:21 He thought my nerves were upset. Sort of delirium.

00:45:24 He thought it quite a joke.

00:45:26 The idea of my inventing a love affair with a middle-aged roustabout like you.

00:45:30 That's what he called you.

00:45:31 Well, now that I'm back in the flesh, you'll begin wondering about that delirium of yours.

00:45:35 I suppose seeing you alive is different from thinking of you dead.

00:45:40 You got very cooped up on that tub with a suspicious husband.

00:45:44 Billy.

00:45:50 Let's not go.

00:45:55 What do you mean?

00:45:56 I'm asking you to run away with me.

00:46:01 Now.

00:46:03 What about the millions in hard currency?

00:46:05 What's happened to you? I thought you were my shrewd little manager.

00:46:08 I've changed my point of view.

00:46:10 I thought we'd get to Africa and you'd make your fortune and everything would be wonderful, but...

00:46:15 Now I think it's all too risky.

00:46:18 Too many things can happen.

00:46:20 I want us to cut and run for it right now.

00:46:22 You really mean that?

00:46:23 With all my heart.

00:46:24 No, that's impossible.

00:46:25 Why?

00:46:26 Well, for one thing, Mrs. Danrother might not go for the idea.

00:46:29 She's not quite as sophisticated as you are.

00:46:31 Please, Billy, listen to me.

00:46:33 I've thought it all out.

00:46:34 We'll take the bus and catch an express or something.

00:46:36 No, no, the shot's not on the table.

00:46:38 You're not in love the way I am.

00:46:41 If I loved you a thousand times more than you say you love me, it still wouldn't make any difference.

00:46:45 I've got to have money.

00:46:47 Doctor's orders are that I must have a lot of money, otherwise I become dull, listless, and have trouble with my complexion.

00:46:53 But you're not like that now, and you haven't any money.

00:46:55 It's my expectations that hold me together.

00:46:57 You really mean that, don't you, darling?

00:47:00 Sure, I mean it.

00:47:02 And your main reason for wanting lots of money is so that you'll be ever so attractive and I'll love you more and more.

00:47:07 That's right, baby.

00:47:09 I'll help you, Billy.

00:47:10 I can, too.

00:47:12 I'm something of a witch.

00:47:14 My old Spanish nurse said I could have been a professional.

00:47:16 Don't look now, but they're raising the gangway.

00:47:21 (Speaking Spanish)

00:47:23 The sea air, ozone.

00:47:35 What a pity we can't bottle it, gentlemen.

00:47:37 What a fortune we'd make.

00:47:38 Neptune's mixture.

00:47:40 Now breathe deeply.

00:47:41 Remember, every breath is a guinea in the Bank of Health.

00:47:45 (Breathing)

00:47:47 Good morning, Chelm.

00:47:51 Why, that's good.

00:47:54 Very good indeed.

00:47:55 I didn't know you were an artist, Mrs. Danrava.

00:47:57 I'd hardly call myself that.

00:47:59 I only dabble.

00:48:01 The nose is not enough long.

00:48:03 The ears are too small.

00:48:04 Only has one eye.

00:48:06 Now come along, gentlemen.

00:48:07 We must start dabbling.

00:48:09 (Singing)

00:48:11 Good morning, Mrs. Chelm.

00:48:21 Let's hope she breaks her neck.

00:48:23 (Singing)

00:48:26 (Singing)

00:48:28 Mr. Peterson.

00:48:41 Mr. Peterson.

00:48:42 Radiogram.

00:48:43 Radiogram.

00:48:44 No Chelm estate Gloucestershire stock.

00:49:03 No Lend the Gentry Chelms.

00:49:05 What do you make of that?

00:49:07 He's not a Gloucestershire swayer.

00:49:09 Like Billy said.

00:49:10 Just as I was beginning to take Billy at his face value.

00:49:13 But if he's not what Billy said, then what is he?

00:49:16 We are at sea again, gentlemen, in more ways than one.

00:49:20 Mystery, more mystery.

00:49:22 Billy is a liar.

00:49:23 Heaven only knows what Chelm is.

00:49:25 CID maybe.

00:49:27 You borrowed my thought.

00:49:28 What to do? What to do?

00:49:30 The time has come for direct action.

00:49:32 You remember last night when we came on board?

00:49:34 The fuss he was making about his dispatch box?

00:49:37 (Whistling)

00:49:39 (Whistling)

00:49:40 I love colors.

00:49:51 Working with them is an endless puzzle.

00:49:54 Your face, for instance.

00:49:56 Ten minutes ago, it was all brown and pink.

00:50:00 Now the light is changed and it's chalky white.

00:50:04 What?

00:50:07 Tinged with green.

00:50:09 Green?

00:50:11 It must be getting rough.

00:50:15 Just a little.

00:50:16 Don't break the pose.

00:50:18 I don't feel very well.

00:50:20 I think I'll go below and take a pill.

00:50:23 It's incredible.

00:50:29 Harry Chelm is just...

00:50:30 Just Harry Chelm.

00:50:31 Nothing, nobody.

00:50:32 A ruddy refugee from Earl's Court.

00:50:34 With a hot, hot bottle.

00:50:35 Look.

00:50:36 And a letter of introduction to the Secretary of the Governor.

00:50:39 The Secretary, mind you.

00:50:40 Disgusting.

00:50:41 (Whistling)

00:50:43 Perser!

00:50:44 My box!

00:50:45 A bit up and down, isn't it, sir?

00:50:47 It's gone!

00:50:48 Oh, yes, indeed.

00:50:49 Major Ross took it.

00:50:50 I saw him sneak it out of your cabin.

00:50:52 I like to keep my eye on what goes on aboard the ship.

00:50:55 Where did he take it?

00:50:56 I believe Mr. Peterson's cabin.

00:50:58 In fact, I'm sure.

00:51:01 (Footsteps)

00:51:03 Ah!

00:51:07 Now may I ask what explanation you have to offer?

00:51:12 He forgot his hot water bottle.

00:51:18 Billy.

00:51:24 Come in.

00:51:25 Billy, have you heard what's happened?

00:51:28 I haven't seen a paper in days.

00:51:30 It's not funny.

00:51:31 They've stolen Harry's dispatch box.

00:51:33 Who's stolen his dispatch box?

00:51:35 That dreadful little Major.

00:51:37 He took it to Peterson.

00:51:38 They went through it.

00:51:39 It was all your fault.

00:51:40 I suppose you know that.

00:51:41 My fault?

00:51:42 With the poppycock you've been peddling.

00:51:44 All that junk about the Chelm interest in London.

00:51:46 Uranium on your land.

00:51:48 Well, in a way, you're the one to blame.

00:51:51 I'm the...

00:51:52 I mean, you acted so superior.

00:51:54 I was falling in love with you and I...

00:51:56 I couldn't bear it for you to think I was just a nobody.

00:51:59 Married to the son of a boarding house in Earl's Court.

00:52:02 The... the son of a what?

00:52:04 A boarding house.

00:52:06 That's what Harry's parents do.

00:52:08 They run a boarding house for decayed gentlefolk.

00:52:11 But the way he talks, the way he acts, I thought that...

00:52:13 It's just that he sees himself in a place in the West Country

00:52:16 with trout streams and horses

00:52:18 leading the life of a country squire.

00:52:20 It's not his fault if people take it for granted

00:52:23 that he has a place like that.

00:52:24 He's never once said that he had.

00:52:26 Country gent, son of a boarding house, or whatever he is.

00:52:29 I suppose I'd better get his box back.

00:52:31 Oh, he got it back himself.

00:52:32 Well, then there's no harm done.

00:52:33 Except that Harry's gone to the captain.

00:52:35 He's going to have them put in irons.

00:52:37 He is what?

00:52:39 He says that's what they did in the Royal Marines.

00:52:41 Look here, Skipper, there's a perfectly simple explanation for all this.

00:52:45 I happen to own a dispatch box which is very similar to Mr. Chelm's.

00:52:48 When I didn't find it in my cabin,

00:52:50 I asked Major Ross to see if it had been stowed away somewhere else by mistake.

00:52:53 The Major found what he thought was my box in the saloon with some other luggage.

00:52:57 The box has been in my cabin ever since we sailed.

00:52:59 Under the berth.

00:53:00 As soon as I saw the box, of course, I realized at once that it wasn't mine.

00:53:04 I simply opened it to find out to whom it belonged

00:53:06 so that I could return it to its rightful owner.

00:53:08 I can't conceive why this gentleman should imagine

00:53:11 I should be interested in a box containing patent medicines.

00:53:14 I'm not a hypochondriac.

00:53:16 Purser, tell the captain exactly what you told me about the box.

00:53:20 Why, sir, you asked me whether I'd seen it

00:53:23 and I said it might be the one I'd seen being carried along the passage by Major Ross.

00:53:27 You distinctly told me that you'd seen it being taken from my cabin.

00:53:30 Oh, you must have misunderstood.

00:53:33 You were rather ill at the time, if you remember, sir.

00:53:36 That's all, Purser.

00:53:37 He's been bribed. He's in league with these criminals.

00:53:40 Just a case of a misunderstanding.

00:53:43 That's how I look at it.

00:53:45 Now, what about a little cognac to wash away any ill feeling?

00:53:48 I don't care for a drink.

00:53:50 And let me assure you that this matter is far from settled.

00:53:52 While rifling through my personal effects,

00:53:54 I feel certain that you must have noticed I had a letter of introduction

00:53:56 to the Secretary of the Governor.

00:53:58 I suspect he'll be much more interested in what I have to say

00:54:00 than this gin-soaked so-called ship's captain.

00:54:02 You mind your tongue!

00:54:04 Anyone tells, the other one I put in irons.

00:54:07 As far as I'm concerned, this is a close incident.

00:54:17 You've got your box back. Why don't you forget the whole thing?

00:54:20 What possible interest do you expect the Colonial Office to take in?

00:54:23 On the contrary, I expect them to show considerable interest

00:54:25 in a gang of crooks who are trying to swindle the country

00:54:27 out of vast uranium deposits.

00:54:29 Just one moment, sir.

00:54:39 What leads you to believe?

00:54:41 This gentleman obviously hasn't seen fit to inform you

00:54:43 that during your supposed demise,

00:54:45 he attempted to lure me into your nefarious venture.

00:54:47 Unfortunately for you, he acquainted me with all the pertinent facts,

00:54:50 facts which I intend to communicate to the proper authority

00:54:53 at the very earliest opportunity.

00:54:55 I thought you were dead. That's what they told me.

00:54:59 Everyone told me you were dead.

00:55:01 And if you were dead, we head to a fresh capital, didn't we?

00:55:05 You, Ravello, my own partner,

00:55:08 sneak up behind my back and try to cheat me.

00:55:11 Milk spilled, it's no good crying over it.

00:55:13 Get after him, Billy. Calm him down, talk to him,

00:55:16 see if you can't get him to change his attitude.

00:55:18 I'll try, but I don't think it'll do any good.

00:55:20 I don't know why we have to worry about Chelm's attitude.

00:55:22 Talk's no good. Conversation never convinced anybody.

00:55:25 I say put an end to her. Shut up, Jack.

00:55:27 Time factor has entered the picture again.

00:55:30 This time, fortunately, it's working on our side.

00:55:32 Two weeks before we reach port.

00:55:34 That should be plenty of time to convince our friend, Chelm.

00:55:37 I beg you, please end all this trouble.

00:55:41 If things go on, either you will be done away with

00:55:44 before we ever get to Africa,

00:55:46 or you will leave and denounce Peterson to the authorities.

00:55:49 And that will be the ruin of all my plans and hopes.

00:55:53 In the long run, you'll do much better to get rid of these people.

00:55:56 They're thoroughly undesirable.

00:55:57 The long run? I'm tired of the long run.

00:56:00 I am not even thinking about them, or about myself.

00:56:04 It's only you that concerns me, Harry.

00:56:07 No need to worry about me.

00:56:09 Ever since I met you, you feel my thinking.

00:56:14 You are becoming an obsession.

00:56:17 Don't you understand, Harry?

00:56:20 I am deeply in love.

00:56:23 Maria.

00:56:26 My dear.

00:56:30 Only you could make a woman feel like this.

00:56:34 All I want is to be in your arms, now and always.

00:56:40 You forget I'm going to be done away with.

00:56:42 Oh, no, no. It will be easy to arrange.

00:56:44 What you must do is this.

00:56:46 You will write me a letter.

00:56:48 A love letter.

00:56:50 I'm not going to write you a letter.

00:56:52 I'm going to write you a letter.

00:56:54 You forget I'm going to be done away with.

00:56:56 All I want is to be in your arms, now and always.

00:56:59 You forget I'm going to be done away with.

00:57:01 All I want is to be in your arms, now and always.

00:57:04 You will write me a letter.

00:57:06 A love letter.

00:57:08 You will tell me that you cannot denounce Peterson,

00:57:10 because then I will suffer, too.

00:57:13 Because you love me so much, you cannot bear to hurt me.

00:57:18 Such a letter they will believe if I show it to them.

00:57:21 I'm sorry, darling, but you can see if you cause trouble,

00:57:24 the whole of our plans, my plans,

00:57:28 you would not want to make the innocent suffer.

00:57:33 It would be much better if you don't interfere, Maria.

00:57:35 I must handle this as I see fit.

00:57:37 Then you intend to go ahead with this business,

00:57:40 tell stories and ruin everything?

00:57:42 It would be much better if you cut loose from these people.

00:57:44 No happiness can come from such an association.

00:57:46 Harry, I'm asking you not to do this.

00:57:49 Please, write a letter.

00:57:51 Then there will be no trouble for you, no trouble for us,

00:57:53 no risk when we get to Africa.

00:57:56 I'm sorry, my dear, we English are a very pig-headed lot.

00:57:59 You think you can get away with this?

00:58:01 But Maria, my dear good Maria, listen.

00:58:03 First you made love to me, now you tell me you will ruin me.

00:58:07 You'll forgive me, but it was you who made...

00:58:09 Oh, shut your trap. Go on, do what you like.

00:58:12 You think you're such a brave man.

00:58:14 I'll tell you what you are.

00:58:16 You are a heel.

00:58:18 Huh.

00:58:20 The blazes now.

00:58:22 What's happening? What's going on here?

00:58:24 The oil pump's on the blink, the electricity's failed.

00:58:26 A ship lying in darkness this way?

00:58:28 We might well be rammed at any minute.

00:58:30 I'll tend to this myself. Which way is the engine room?

00:58:32 The passengers are not...

00:58:33 I'm sure your chief engineer would welcome the advice

00:58:35 of an ex-officer of the Royal Marines.

00:58:38 (SPEAKING ITALIAN)

00:58:40 Look here, you fool. Are we simply abandoned to our fate?

00:58:54 I insist on something being done.

00:58:56 For instance?

00:58:57 Give out the lifebelts. Organise the boat drill.

00:58:59 The clientele are requested to remain calm.

00:59:02 To remain calm? Does the captain feel no sense of responsibility

00:59:05 for the lives of his passengers?

00:59:07 It's my opinion that the captain doesn't feel much of anything at the moment.

00:59:10 You mean to say he's drunk?

00:59:12 The fellow ought to be made to walk the plank.

00:59:14 I'm afraid just now he cannot walk at all.

00:59:16 - This is outrageous. - Oh, shut down, old man.

00:59:18 What have you got to worry about?

00:59:20 We're only adrift in an open sea, where the drunken captain

00:59:22 and engine is liable to explode at any moment.

00:59:24 It's a perfectly ordinary situation.

00:59:26 Happens every day.

00:59:28 But just in case any of you are still at all anxious,

00:59:31 let it be known that Mr Chelm has taken charge in the engine room.

00:59:34 Who's taken charge?

00:59:36 Harry. And he'll foozle it for sure.

00:59:38 Shall I get out the hymn books?

00:59:40 Your husband claims to have learned all about the engine and such things

00:59:44 when he was an officer in the Royal Marines.

00:59:46 If he ever was.

00:59:48 In point of fact, not only was he an officer,

00:59:50 but he once won a medal for jumping into a sea of fire to rescue someone.

00:59:54 It's only a bit of wreckage and not a man, but that wasn't Harry's fault.

00:59:57 Just a slight error in judgement.

01:00:02 Oh, the lights, they come on.

01:00:04 He must have fixed it.

01:00:06 Impossible. The engines are turning.

01:00:08 We are underway.

01:00:10 I still say it's impossible.

01:00:12 Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention for a moment?

01:00:17 I'm happy to inform you that the oil pump is now in perfect working condition.

01:00:20 Putting it right was no great accomplishment for anyone with the slightest mechanical bent.

01:00:24 Anyhow, we may now proceed without further delay and in absolute safety.

01:00:30 Oh, Harry, you did, you did. You fooled me.

01:00:33 What did you wreck my ship? Where is it?

01:00:36 I'll tell you, you fool. He certainly wants to see you.

01:00:39 There you are. You devil. You wrecked my beautiful ship.

01:00:43 Nothing of the sort. Some scallywag down there sabotaged my work out of pure merris.

01:00:47 You splod my head in the...

01:00:49 Keep your head down.

01:00:50 All my head.

01:00:51 That little gentleman.

01:00:52 Stay out of this, Dad and Mother. I can handle the boat.

01:00:55 What's happened now?

01:00:57 Do we get to life abeyance?

01:00:59 Do we abandon the ship?

01:01:01 There's no immediate danger. The passengers were pleased to return to the saloon.

01:01:05 We're heading for the nearest port and there seems to be some chance of our making.

01:01:09 Right. Let's go.

01:01:11 Come along.

01:01:15 Now, who was last down?

01:01:20 Last.

01:01:21 Billy boy, be a good fellow and make a forth of the bridge.

01:01:27 The major has no head for cards. A few rubbers will soothe all our nerves.

01:01:31 Thank you. I'll soothe mine with a double scotch.

01:01:33 In fact, I think I'll make it a triple. No ice, no water.

01:01:36 That's it.

01:01:37 How about you, dear Mrs. Deadrubber? A little bridge?

01:01:40 Oh, so sorry. I have the most fearful headache.

01:01:43 I think I'll go to my cabin.

01:01:45 Oh, what a shame. Well, boys, we'll have to make it cutthroat.

01:01:52 What about Harry here? Maybe he'll take a hand.

01:01:54 That, under the circumstances, is a most unsuitable suggestion.

01:01:57 Gwendolyn, I must ask you to either move to another table or else leave the saloon.

01:02:01 Oh, Harry, for heaven's sake.

01:02:03 I don't care for my wife to associate with an associate of criminals.

01:02:06 Don't be absurd. Billy's not a criminal. He's the best friend we have on this boat.

01:02:11 We're not in need of such friends.

01:02:13 You don't need any friends you can get.

01:02:15 The only thing standing between you and a watery grave is your wits.

01:02:18 That's not my idea of adequate protection.

01:02:20 Percer, how much longer before this ship reaches port?

01:02:23 If we ever do get to port, it should be within 14 or 15 hours.

01:02:27 That's a long time. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. Have a drink.

01:02:31 Enjoy the Major's piano recital.

01:02:33 Come on, Peterson. Buy us a drink.

01:02:36 I'm afraid I can't accept hospitality from persons who I intend, in a few hours' time, to denounce in a place of justice.

01:02:42 Two spades.

01:02:43 I admire your "sans-fois," Mr. Peterson.

01:02:46 Or perhaps you don't think I'm serious. We shall see.

01:02:49 Sweet clubs.

01:02:51 Gwendolyn, are you going to do as I say?

01:02:55 Not when you speak to me in that tone. Not when you try to order me about.

01:02:58 In that case...

01:03:00 Where are you going?

01:03:01 On deck, where the air is less polluted.

01:03:03 Percer, four tonics.

01:03:11 I think you'd better go after Harry.

01:03:13 Why should I, if he's going to be so childish and unreasonable?

01:03:16 Take my advice, Gwendolyn. Stay with him.

01:03:19 I suppose you think we should keep up appearances.

01:03:22 The loyal wife at her husband's side.

01:03:25 No, Billy. I'm experiencing something that is rare and beautiful.

01:03:29 I shall not deny it. Either by word or by deed.

01:03:32 I love you. Let the whole world know it. I love you. I love you.

01:03:36 Keeping up appearances isn't exactly what I meant.

01:03:39 Then why do you want to send me tagging after Harry? He's being such a deadly bore tonight.

01:03:43 Deadly, but not dead. Not yet.

01:03:46 What do you mean?

01:03:47 They killed one man just because they thought he might try to get in their way.

01:03:50 Now, handsome Harry, he's certain to blow the whole thing wide open.

01:03:54 They killed a man? Really? Who?

01:03:58 Just a man.

01:04:00 Well, for old Harry's being too, too tiresome and my loving you to distraction,

01:04:06 I still wouldn't want to see him done in.

01:04:09 He has some perfectly darling traits, really.

01:04:11 I mean, like always remembering one's birthday.

01:04:14 No, we simply mustn't let anybody murder Harry.

01:04:17 Keep him in your cabin. Never let him out of your sight. Keep him under lock and key.

01:04:21 Oh, Billy, that awful music. It's so loud. It comes right into our cabin.

01:04:29 Peterson, tell the major to sort of pedal it.

01:04:32 And while he's about it, he might change the tune.

01:04:35 Oh, don't you like it? It's one of my favorites.

01:04:37 I'm afraid he doesn't know any others. Do you, Jack?

01:04:40 Do you, Jack?

01:04:41 Major!

01:04:51 [music]

01:05:02 [footsteps]

01:05:12 [groaning]

01:05:20 [screaming]

01:05:22 Do I hear a lady screaming?

01:05:24 One down.

01:05:26 [screaming]

01:05:29 Captain! Captain!

01:05:32 [music]

01:05:46 What happened?

01:05:47 Oh, Billy, all that screaming. I thought someone had been killed.

01:05:50 Well, someone nearly was. Indeed, they were. Look at the major.

01:05:52 Better get a new act, Peterson. The curtain's going down on this one.

01:05:55 Every time I turn my back, someone makes trouble.

01:05:57 The passengers break the engine, they beat each other to feet, they throw each other overboard.

01:06:01 That man attacked me.

01:06:02 How you? You again?

01:06:04 If I struck him, it was in self-defense.

01:06:06 He came sneaking up behind me and tried to run me through with his sword.

01:06:09 It's not true.

01:06:10 Well...

01:06:11 It's no use, Billy. Am I trying to protect Harry any further?

01:06:15 I may as well tell the whole truth.

01:06:18 Captain, it... it grieves me to confess this,

01:06:21 but in point of fact, my husband has an illness of the mind.

01:06:25 The medical word for it is paranoia.

01:06:28 On occasion, he displays homicidal tendencies.

01:06:32 The psychiatrists say it's because he... he believes people are plotting against him.

01:06:36 And so he strikes back and tries to kill them.

01:06:39 Gwendolen! For heaven's sake, woman!

01:06:41 What's the meaning of this treachery?

01:06:43 Believe it or not, Harry, I'm doing it for your own good.

01:06:46 He knows! He saved my life!

01:06:47 He'll tell the truth!

01:06:48 I wouldn't contradict the lady.

01:06:50 You wrecked my ship! You tried to kill the passengers!

01:06:52 But I'm the first to save the first to rob the ship!

01:06:54 That's why they're all against me!

01:06:56 Let me go! I'll kill the lot of you!

01:06:58 I warned you, Captain!

01:06:59 When I tell the whole truth...

01:07:00 Oh, Harry, it's awfully sad.

01:07:02 We've tried everything to cure him.

01:07:04 Take your hooligans off the ship!

01:07:06 How dare you lay hands on me!

01:07:07 You hooligans! I'll have you put in irons!

01:07:10 You'll be the ones in irons!

01:07:12 The good will have no trouble from you!

01:07:15 Scum! Mongrels!

01:07:18 I'll bring you to book!

01:07:19 Every one of you!

01:07:20 Every man, Jack of you!

01:07:22 After all, it was the only solution.

01:07:27 Harry's safely locked in his cabin...

01:07:29 where those beastly men can't do him any harm.

01:07:31 On the other hand, he can't say or do anything now...

01:07:34 to interfere with your making that fortune in Africa.

01:07:37 I mean, the authorities would hardly listen to the ravings of a lunatic, would they?

01:07:41 They won't even let him off the boat.

01:07:43 Well, in that case, he'll just have to stay shut up for a few weeks.

01:07:47 It's a good heart on the old boy, don't you think?

01:07:49 Yes, but...

01:07:50 after you've amassed all those African millions...

01:07:54 we'll make it up to him.

01:07:55 We'll buy him a country place in Gloucestershire...

01:07:58 with some rough shooting and...

01:08:00 and a trout stream like he's always wanted.

01:08:03 Maria will marry him, perhaps.

01:08:05 She seems to have a very real feeling for English country life.

01:08:10 And everybody lives happily ever after.

01:08:13 Especially us, Billy.

01:08:15 Board station, everyone. Prepare to abandon ship.

01:08:19 What's going on?

01:08:20 I believe, sir, that we're sinking.

01:08:22 Board station, everybody.

01:08:23 Load your lifeboats.

01:08:25 We're sinking.

01:08:27 Harry! Harry, open the door!

01:08:30 You must! The ship's sinking!

01:08:32 Get back!

01:08:39 What are you doing?

01:08:41 What are you doing?

01:08:43 What are you doing?

01:08:45 You're ruining the ship!

01:08:48 You're a disgrace!

01:08:50 You're a disgrace!

01:08:52 You're a disgrace!

01:08:54 You're a disgrace!

01:08:56 You're a disgrace!

01:08:58 You're a disgrace!

01:09:00 Get back!

01:09:01 Get back!

01:09:02 What are you doing?

01:09:04 You've ruined the ship!

01:09:07 You're a disgrace!

01:09:09 Load your lifeboats!

01:09:11 Get back!

01:09:13 What are you doing?

01:09:15 What are you doing?

01:09:17 You're a disgrace!

01:09:19 You're a disgrace!

01:09:21 Load your lifeboats!

01:09:23 Hurry!

01:09:25 Load your lifeboats!

01:09:27 Hurry!

01:09:29 Load them!

01:09:31 Hurry!

01:09:32 Hurry!

01:09:33 Load them!

01:09:34 Load them!

01:09:36 Hurry!

01:09:37 Load them!

01:09:38 Load them!

01:09:39 Load them!

01:09:40 Load them!

01:09:41 Load them!

01:09:42 Load them!

01:09:43 Load them!

01:09:44 Load them!

01:09:45 Load them!

01:09:46 Load them!

01:09:47 Load them!

01:09:48 Load them!

01:09:49 Load them!

01:09:50 Load them!

01:09:51 Load them!

01:09:52 We can't!

01:09:53 We simply can't leave without finding out what's happened to Harry!

01:09:56 Maybe we'll run across him out there.

01:09:58 He's a strong swimmer, isn't he?

01:10:00 Do you really think so?

01:10:01 I don't say we will, but it's possible.

01:10:03 Anything's possible.

01:10:05 All right, then we'll see.

01:10:07 Come!

01:10:08 Be!

01:10:09 Fresh!

01:10:10 My God, it's a wreck!

01:10:12 It's all over the ground!

01:10:14 Let's hope we find a fish tank!

01:10:17 Harry!

01:10:18 Harry!

01:10:24 Harry!

01:10:26 [music]

01:10:29 [music]

01:10:32 [music]

01:11:00 Where do you suppose we are?

01:11:02 Africa.

01:11:03 What part of Africa?

01:11:04 Yes, that's important.

01:11:05 What part?

01:11:06 Not a bad place to land.

01:11:07 No customs, no forms to fill out.

01:11:09 Tell us at once where we are.

01:11:10 It's important, I know.

01:11:11 You mean to say there are parts of the Dark Continent where you want we receive like the prodigal son?

01:11:16 Alio.

01:11:17 What's that?

01:11:18 Alio.

01:11:19 [gunshot]

01:11:20 [shouting]

01:11:21 [gunshot]

01:11:22 [shouting]

01:11:23 Better get down, everybody.

01:11:25 [shouting]

01:11:26 Get rid of your passports, boys.

01:11:29 Mrs. Chow, Billy Boy, my identity must remain a secret.

01:11:32 (dramatic music)

01:11:35 (dramatic music)

01:11:37 (dramatic music)

01:11:40 (crowd shouting)

01:11:43 (dramatic music)

01:11:46 (crowd shouting)

01:11:49 (dramatic music)

01:11:51 (dramatic music)

01:11:54 - Alia, what's that?

01:12:20 - It was a company that sold arms.

01:12:21 The Arab legions.

01:12:22 - Wait a minute, that rings a bell.

01:12:25 - Some of the equipment we sold was defective.

01:12:27 Been too long under the water in the Gulf of Leyte.

01:12:31 - The Arabs claim they lost the war

01:12:33 because of rusty guns and dud ammunition.

01:12:35 - For heaven's sake, be quiet.

01:12:35 If you go on like that, I'll be--

01:12:37 - I'll see you drawn and quartered.

01:12:39 (speaking in foreign language)

01:12:47 (speaking in foreign language)

01:12:51 - Are you going to allow them to bully you in this way?

01:13:03 Why, it's simply--

01:13:05 - It's shocking.

01:13:06 - Harry wouldn't have let them do it.

01:13:08 He had a sense of dignity.

01:13:10 - Do I have a sense of survival?

01:13:11 - Billy, what is going to happen?

01:13:14 - Do you think they will torture us?

01:13:16 - Just let them try it.

01:13:18 I'm a British subject.

01:13:19 - I wouldn't say it too loud.

01:13:20 (singing in foreign language)

01:13:24 - We ship wreck.

01:13:42 Big boat.

01:13:44 Go down.

01:13:46 Bottom ocean.

01:13:47 We take little boat.

01:13:50 Row all day.

01:13:53 Row all night.

01:13:56 Selfie?

01:13:57 - There's only one way to deal with these swine.

01:13:58 Walk up to them and kick 'em in the belly.

01:14:00 Show 'em who's boss right away.

01:14:03 - We sight land.

01:14:05 Your land.

01:14:06 Praise Allah.

01:14:07 Come ashore.

01:14:10 Suddenly, boom, boom, boom.

01:14:13 No good way treat shipwreck people.

01:14:15 - You will please to hand over your passports.

01:14:18 There seem to be four missing.

01:14:40 Will those who have not handed over their passports

01:14:42 hold up their hands?

01:14:44 - All left on board ship, your excellency.

01:14:53 A terrifying experience.

01:14:55 An incompetent crew, a burning ship,

01:14:57 put overboard in a small boat at dead of night.

01:15:00 - What was the name of the vessel?

01:15:02 - The SS Nyanga.

01:15:03 She's a Portuguese ship.

01:15:04 - I will investigate whether such a ship

01:15:06 has been reported lost at sea.

01:15:08 - Well, does it stand to reason, your excellency,

01:15:10 we should come to this shore in a small boat

01:15:12 if we'd not been shipwrecked?

01:15:14 - Our country is in a state of unrest.

01:15:17 - Oh, I am sorry.

01:15:18 - Agents of certain foreign governments

01:15:20 sometimes try to enter it by stealth,

01:15:24 hoping to fan the flames of revolution.

01:15:27 Therefore, we check carefully

01:15:30 on the activities of strangers.

01:15:33 - But surely, your excellency, in our case,

01:15:35 one look is sufficient to convince you of our innocence.

01:15:38 (gentle music)

01:15:41 - No.

01:15:54 One look is not enough.

01:15:58 - If you think we're the enemies of your country,

01:16:06 the logical thing is to boot us out.

01:16:08 Send us packing by the first available boat or train.

01:16:11 We shan't object.

01:16:12 We've got important business elsewhere.

01:16:14 - Where is elsewhere?

01:16:15 - Central Africa.

01:16:17 - And what sort of business?

01:16:21 - Vacuum cleaners, sewing machines.

01:16:23 - Ah, yes.

01:16:24 Businessmen, all going to Central Africa

01:16:28 to sell vacuum cleaners.

01:16:30 (laughing)

01:16:31 Hut to hut, I suppose.

01:16:33 And you, sir, I take it you are the head salesman,

01:16:37 the ringleader of this group?

01:16:39 - Oh, no, no group.

01:16:41 We met for the first time on board ship,

01:16:44 complete strangers to one another.

01:16:46 - Liar!

01:16:47 The others all look at you each time I ask a question.

01:16:51 - I am a keen observer.

01:16:52 You four are together.

01:16:54 - Oh, no, my fat gutted friend.

01:16:57 I'm not the illiterate, simple-minded native

01:16:59 you're fool enough to take me for.

01:17:01 I am a great man, a serious man.

01:17:04 - I spit on you too.

01:17:06 I spit on you and all your life.

01:17:08 - Off to the wrong star, Peterson.

01:17:10 There's only one way to deal with these spines.

01:17:12 - Spines, spines, spines, spines!

01:17:15 - You'd better be careful.

01:17:17 My husband, my late husband,

01:17:19 who was drowned in the Niagara disaster,

01:17:21 happened to be one of the most important figures

01:17:23 in the British government, Sir Harry Chelm.

01:17:26 In point of fact, we had letters

01:17:28 from the Prime Minister and the Queen

01:17:30 telling everybody to be particularly courteous

01:17:32 to us and our friends.

01:17:34 So you see, if any harm befalls us at your hands,

01:17:37 it will become a major international incident.

01:17:40 - Would you instruct that one

01:17:42 that in my country a female's lips may move,

01:17:46 that her words are not hurt?

01:17:48 - Harry, Harry.

01:17:49 If only you were here.

01:17:54 - And now, sir, you will stop abusing my intelligence

01:18:00 and tell me who you really are

01:18:01 and what is your actual purpose in being here.

01:18:05 - I'm a sick man, I've got a bad heart,

01:18:06 I mustn't talk anymore.

01:18:08 - You refuse to answer.

01:18:10 That is interesting.

01:18:11 It makes of it a contest,

01:18:13 a contest in a game at which we excel.

01:18:17 We of this country have had 4,000 years experience

01:18:21 in asking questions and getting answers.

01:18:24 Who are you?

01:18:27 Why are you here?

01:18:30 - Don't hit me again!

01:18:31 It is my art of having a tag.

01:18:33 (dramatic music)

01:18:36 (speaking in foreign language)

01:18:52 (singing in foreign language)

01:19:00 - Of course, Billy's led a thoroughly decadent life.

01:19:03 I must say, I thought he had more backbone than that.

01:19:05 Backbone.

01:19:07 Either you have it or you haven't.

01:19:09 You see the beating I took at the hands

01:19:11 of that great ugly brute without even flinching.

01:19:14 Billy was crazed with fear

01:19:15 before they even laid a finger on him.

01:19:17 - Tell me more about Rita Hayworth.

01:19:22 You really know her very well?

01:19:24 - Do I know Rita?

01:19:25 Do I know her?

01:19:27 I'll give you a letter of introduction.

01:19:29 She'll fall an immediate victim to your charms.

01:19:31 - You really think so?

01:19:32 - Oh, but certainly a man like you,

01:19:35 suave, intelligent, darkly handsome.

01:19:38 You have everything, Ahmet, except money.

01:19:42 And if you'll listen to me,

01:19:44 a boat will be placed at our disposal, a very slow boat,

01:19:48 so that Fat Guy's check will have plenty of time to clear.

01:19:50 - And you will trust me for your share?

01:19:52 - Does one man of the world ask another

01:19:55 to trust his own brother?

01:19:57 - Oh, no, Ahmet.

01:19:59 You'll give me a check for half.

01:20:00 - Your demands are very great under the circumstances.

01:20:05 - Why shouldn't they be?

01:20:06 Fat Guy's my best friend.

01:20:08 I will not betray him cheaply.

01:20:10 - You are certain that you are the friend

01:20:12 of the peerless Rita?

01:20:13 - Come, come, Ahmet.

01:20:14 Mind back to business.

01:20:16 - Very well, 50/50.

01:20:19 - Oh, by the way, Fat Guy's nature is noble like ours.

01:20:23 He might try to bargain.

01:20:25 - I do not bargain with a puffball like that.

01:20:28 It's beneath my dignity.

01:20:30 - It'll be dawn soon,

01:20:31 the correct hour for a firing squad.

01:20:34 - But if we have him shot, what about the money?

01:20:37 - Well, I was just thinking that if he had a volley

01:20:39 at the psychological moment,

01:20:41 he might not be so inclined to haggle.

01:20:44 - I believe you must have Arab blood.

01:20:48 Westerners are not usually so subtle.

01:20:54 (speaking in foreign language)

01:20:58 - Look, Halamai!

01:21:02 (Halamai screams)

01:21:04 - Where are you taking me?

01:21:05 I won't go.

01:21:06 I demand to see a doctor.

01:21:08 - Would you say that in Paris,

01:21:10 among smart people,

01:21:13 the Rolls-Royce or the Cadillac

01:21:18 is considered more chic?

01:21:20 - That's no problem, no problem at all.

01:21:23 A man in your position should have both.

01:21:26 - Mr. Donnerather, I believe, would like a word with you.

01:21:37 - Billy.

01:21:39 - Sit down, Peterson.

01:21:40 I've been talking to Ahmet here,

01:21:50 and he's made the wrong choice.

01:21:53 (speaking in foreign language)

01:21:57 - It's blackmail.

01:22:00 I can't pay.

01:22:02 (speaking in foreign language)

01:22:04 (gunshot)

01:22:06 - What was that?

01:22:09 - Friday's what?

01:22:11 It's execution day.

01:22:13 Will he take a check?

01:22:20 (dramatic music)

01:22:23 (speaking in foreign language)

01:22:45 - Billy!

01:22:45 Billy!

01:22:46 Look, the name!

01:22:49 (speaking in foreign language)

01:22:53 - Stay away!

01:22:56 Stay away from my ship!

01:22:58 If you try to come aboard, I will shoot you!

01:23:01 I will shoot you!

01:23:02 Get my gun!

01:23:04 Get my gun!

01:23:06 - Give it to him, maybe he'll shoot himself.

01:23:08 - My gun!

01:23:09 My gun!

01:23:10 (dramatic music)

01:23:14 (men shouting)

01:23:17 - Excuse me.

01:23:28 Are you Mr. William Danruther?

01:23:29 - That's right.

01:23:30 - I'd like to ask you a few questions, if I may.

01:23:31 - I'm sorry, not now.

01:23:33 - Forgive me, but it's rather important.

01:23:34 - Yes, it always is.

01:23:35 I was a newspaper man myself once.

01:23:37 Well, you may quote me as saying

01:23:39 that everybody was heroic except Mrs. Danruther,

01:23:41 who ate all our boots.

01:23:43 Very amusing, but I'm not a reporter.

01:23:46 - Jack, go to the phone, make reservations.

01:23:48 The first plane to Nairobi, six seats.

01:23:50 - Yes, and if they don't have any,

01:23:52 talk to the right man and tell him

01:23:53 if he kicks out of people after plane,

01:23:55 we'll make it worth his while.

01:23:56 - I always said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:58 You remember I said that, Mr. Horror?

01:24:00 I said we ought to take a plane.

01:24:01 - Mustn't dawdle, Billy boy.

01:24:02 Great deal to do and not much time.

01:24:04 - Those are the other members of your party?

01:24:05 - Yes, I'd like to talk to them too.

01:24:08 - Well, what's it all about?

01:24:09 - I believe you were acquainted with a Mr. Van Meer,

01:24:11 now deceased.

01:24:13 (dramatic music)

01:24:15 - Peterson, you and the boys better come back down.

01:24:18 The gentleman here wants to speak to you

01:24:19 of Mr. Jack Clayton of Scotland Yard.

01:24:22 - You'll take your wine here or upstairs, Mr. Danruther?

01:24:24 - No, we'll have it here.

01:24:26 - Care to join us in a drink, Clayton?

01:24:27 - No thanks, it's a bit early in the day for me.

01:24:29 - I read somewhere that a Scotland Yard man

01:24:31 never accepts a drink from anyone he intends to arrest.

01:24:34 Is that true, Mr. Clayton?

01:24:36 - Quite so.

01:24:37 Mrs. Danruther?

01:24:38 - No, I'm Mrs. Chell.

01:24:39 This is Mrs. Danruther.

01:24:42 - Oh, how do you do?

01:24:43 Well, I wouldn't dream of alarming you lovely ladies,

01:24:46 so perhaps I'll have a glass of bubbly after all.

01:24:48 - Peterson, how do you do, sir?

01:24:51 - How do you do?

01:24:52 - Ravelo.

01:24:53 - And Mr. O'Hara.

01:24:56 - O'Hara, Julius O'Hara, delighted.

01:24:58 - No, I'm the one to be delighted.

01:25:00 It had begun to look as though

01:25:01 I'd never catch up with you people.

01:25:03 That would have been a bit embarrassing.

01:25:05 You see, this is the first time

01:25:06 I've ever been abroad on an investigation.

01:25:09 I've spent quite a lot of money,

01:25:11 and my chief can be very sarcastic

01:25:12 about the money one spends,

01:25:14 particularly if you fail to deliver the goods.

01:25:16 - Mr. Clayton is presently interested

01:25:18 in the Van Meer murder case.

01:25:20 - The Van Meer murder case?

01:25:22 Oh yes, yes, that fellow in the colonial office,

01:25:24 yes, I read about that in the paper.

01:25:26 It was a shocking affair.

01:25:27 - According to Mr. Van Meer's appointment book,

01:25:29 Mr. Peterson, you had lunch with him

01:25:32 at the Savoy a few days before his death.

01:25:34 - That's quite correct.

01:25:35 Mr. Van Meer was an expert on African matters.

01:25:38 We wanted his advice about affairs in British East.

01:25:41 - Do you recall the subject of the discussion?

01:25:43 - Vaguely, a crop field, the native labor situation.

01:25:47 - Inches of rain.

01:25:48 - A vaccination, shorts.

01:25:51 - How long don't you know Mr. Van Meer?

01:25:53 - Couple of months, we met half a dozen times.

01:25:55 - Did he ever make mention of any enemies,

01:25:57 business or otherwise?

01:25:58 Did he say anything about romantic attachments?

01:26:00 I mean, did he name any women?

01:26:02 - No, I should have been very surprised if he had done.

01:26:05 Mr. Van Meer struck me as being every inch a gentleman.

01:26:08 - Oh, of course, of course.

01:26:09 Well, that's all.

01:26:12 Unless somebody has anything further to add?

01:26:15 - I have.

01:26:17 I think you ought to know that the business

01:26:23 of one of these businessmen is murder.

01:26:25 - I beg your pardon?

01:26:28 - Major Ross, I mean.

01:26:31 I can't guarantee Major Ross murdered this Van Meer person.

01:26:34 I assure you, however, he attempted to murder my husband

01:26:37 with a long, thin dagger, which he always carried about

01:26:40 in what looked like an innocent swagger stick.

01:26:43 - Go on, Mrs. Chum.

01:26:44 - You see, Major Ross is employed by Mr. Peterson there

01:26:48 to do his dirty work.

01:26:50 One might say he's a professional killer.

01:26:52 My husband found out certain things about Mr. Peterson.

01:26:55 Things in point of fact that are a matter of empire,

01:26:58 involving, as they do, a plot to exploit

01:27:00 our kingdom's uranium resources.

01:27:02 And that's why Mr. Peterson decided to have him done away.

01:27:05 Don't run away, Mr. Peterson.

01:27:07 That's always tantamount to a confession of guilt.

01:27:10 Tantamount is what I call it.

01:27:11 - More champagne, Clayton?

01:27:15 - No, thank you.

01:27:15 (dramatic music)

01:27:19 (dramatic music)

01:27:22 - As I said before, very smart fellows indeed.

01:27:37 - Should you ever think of me in Earl's Court,

01:27:43 that's where I'll be,

01:27:44 helping Harry's parents with the lodgers.

01:27:46 Should you ever think of me,

01:27:48 try not to let it be too harshly.

01:27:51 - You kiss her too, Billy, and tell her she's forgiven.

01:27:56 - Sure, sure.

01:27:57 - Goodbye, Billy.

01:27:58 - Bye.

01:28:00 - Poor Mrs. Chelm just came on the ship's wireless.

01:28:08 Oh, by the way, Mr. Danrada,

01:28:11 do you know that your associates are all in the Hu's Gow?

01:28:15 - Oh, now that I'm a bit surprised.

01:28:17 I put them down as thoroughly bad characters,

01:28:20 right off the bat.

01:28:21 But then there are so many bad characters nowadays.

01:28:24 Take mine, for instance.

01:28:25 - Harry!

01:28:28 He's alive!

01:28:30 (Harry moaning)

01:28:45 (dramatic music)

01:28:47 (laughing)

01:28:55 - Oh, this is the end.

01:29:08 The end.

01:29:15 (dramatic music)

01:29:18 (explosion)
