00:43 The incident you've just witnessed was described by the police and the press as an accident.
00:57 Which of course it wasn't just as sure as my name is Boris Karloff.
01:02 We're concerned now with some of the people who live in the small resort town where the accident took place several weeks ago.
01:11 We're going to see these people through the eyes of a murderer at large.
01:16 Unidentified, unsuspected, unpredictable as the urge to kill again becomes irresistible.
01:26 The name of our story is The Watcher.
01:28 And our principal players are Mr. Martin Gable, Miss Olive Sturgess, Mr. Richard Chamberlain, Mr. Stuart Irwin, Miss Gloria Clark, Miss Irene Hervey and Mr. Alan Baxter.
01:47 Take my word for it, this is a thriller.

05:01 Nice evening, Miss Tomlinson.
05:04 Yes, it is, Mr. Brownjack.
05:09 Mrs. Appleby is in a rare voice tonight.
05:13 Yes.
05:15 It's good to have you home again.
05:18 Feeling better?
05:20 Yes, thank you.
05:22 Susan was a lovely girl and so young to be taken.
05:29 Why? Why? Why?
05:35 Grief is a divine and terrible radiance which transfigures the wretched.
05:40 The burden of your grief can be shared.
05:45 Please call on me if I can help.
05:48 Oh, you're very considerate.
05:50 But I'll be all right.

06:52 Working late again, Larry?
06:55 Yeah.
06:57 Keeping these old huts in the water is a full-time job, I imagine.
07:04 Mm-hmm.
07:06 Your aunt's fortunate having you to work for her.
07:09 Somebody's got to take care of this place.
07:12 She's a widow and these boats in her house are all she's got.
07:16 Yes, but most boys your age would rather be out roaming the streets.
07:21 You're to be commended, Larry.
07:24 Believe me, I'm a teacher. I know something about boys.
07:29 I know how they squander their time.
07:33 You want something, Mr. Prytok?
07:36 I make you nervous watching you work.
07:40 Nobody makes me nervous.
07:45 How old are you, Larry?
07:46 Twenty.
07:48 Graduate from high school?
07:50 Sure.
07:52 Plan to continue your education?
07:55 Go on to college?
07:57 I hadn't given it much thought.
08:00 You were seeing quite a lot of Miss Tomlinson's young sister before she was drowned.
08:11 Suzy used to hang around here a lot, if that's what you mean, but I wasn't dating her.
08:15 She was a nice kid, but she was always underfoot.
08:21 All the time pestering me.
08:23 I know.
08:25 I'd rather not talk about it, Mr. Prytok. Do you mind?
08:29 I suppose a good-looking young man like you doesn't have any trouble finding feminine companionship.
08:40 I hadn't thought much about it.
08:41 That'd be a problem for you.
08:43 I mean avoiding unwelcome attentions.
08:50 I can take care of myself.
08:52 I'm sorry, Larry. I didn't mean to pry.
08:55 I'd really like to help you.
08:57 Thanks, but I'm doing all right.
08:59 An older man can sometimes help keep a boy straight.
09:03 Life is full of dark paths.
09:08 It's so easy at your age to lose the way.
09:10 Many temptations come our way.
09:13 But if we refuse to learn from our mistakes, if we make them a way of life...
09:19 You sound just like my Aunt Eunice.
09:21 I'm trying to be your friend, Larry.
09:24 Look, Mr. Prytok, I'm doing all right.
09:27 If I ever need your advice, well, I know where I can find you.
09:32 Thank you.

09:48 [music]
10:06 Beth? Are you going out again?
10:08 Yes, Mother.
10:10 I had hoped you'd help me with the arrangements for the garden party.
10:12 There's a great deal to do before tomorrow night.
10:14 Oh, I'm sorry, Mother.
10:17 It's a social responsibility, Beth.
10:18 Why? You have enough for both of us.
10:20 Don't be insolent, young lady.
10:22 I'm sorry.
10:24 You should be. You should also be sorry for the way you look.
10:26 Oh, Beth, won't you even try?
10:29 You have a closet full of dresses, and I never see you in anything but blue jeans.
10:34 You're almost 21.
10:36 It's time you started behaving like a lady.
10:38 Oh, Mother, let's not have another scene.
10:41 Where are you going?
10:43 To Shirley's.
10:46 But we'll have a long talk tomorrow.
10:47 It's a date.
10:49 [whistles]
10:59 Hi, kitten.
11:01 Uncle Florian, what are you doing out of bed?
11:03 All right, let's have it.
11:06 Hmm?
11:08 You know what the doctor said. Give it to me.
11:10 Ah, pedico-tyranny.
11:12 [thunder]
11:15 Just because she gave you a bad time, you have to ruin my evening.
11:18 That's right. We pettit women are a perverse lot.
11:21 Amen to that.
11:23 Ha ha, you'd perish without us.
11:25 [chuckles] Got a date tonight?
11:27 Gonna rain, you know.
11:29 Let it.
11:31 Larry?
11:33 What's our cover story?
11:35 I'm at Shirley's.
11:37 Any chance Shirley might phone you?
11:39 Nope.
11:41 Well, I'll answer all incoming calls anyway.
11:44 Thanks, as usual.
11:45 [kiss]
11:47 Beth, enjoy yourself.

12:49 [thunder]
12:50 [thunder]
13:02 Oh, darling!
13:05 Hey, what's with you?
13:07 Somebody was watching me.
13:09 Who? Where?
13:10 On the dock.
13:11 Don't go out there, Larry!
13:15 [thunder]
13:19 [thunder]
13:20 [thunder]
13:23 You and your wild imagination.
13:30 Larry, I saw somebody!
13:32 There's nobody out there.
13:34 You probably saw those nets waving at you.
13:36 Well, looks like we have soggy donuts with our job, huh?
13:39 Gee, you are a ninny.
13:41 Gilly conscience, I guess.
13:43 Oh, Larry, if my mother had any inkling, it'd kill her.
13:47 Hey, we haven't said hello yet.
13:48 Larry, it's doing something to me.
13:50 Sneaking off to meet you here and telling lies.
13:53 How about it, huh? Huh? Huh?
13:56 [thunder]
13:58 Hello.
14:04 Hiya.
14:06 Hey, you're soaked!
14:08 You're going to be the death of me, yes.
14:10 Well, make with the coffee department while I find some dry clothes.
14:14 [thunder]
14:16 [thunder]
14:17 Do you remember that high school teacher I told you was renting from Vita Tomlinson?
14:24 He never told me about any teacher.
14:26 Didn't I? No.
14:28 Slipped my mind, I guess.
14:30 What about it?
14:32 His name's Freitag. He was questioning me tonight.
14:34 About what?
14:36 Oh, how old I am, do I plan to go to college, stuff like that.
14:40 Well, he's a teacher. Maybe he likes you and wants to help.
14:44 I don't know who without. He gives me the creeps.
14:46 Well, then forget about him, darling.
14:50 Think about us.
14:52 What about us?
14:56 That's the start.
14:58 I love you.
15:00 That's only the half of it.
15:02 As soon as I find somebody to help Aunt Eunice, we're going to get married.
15:05 Right? Right.
15:07 [thunder]
15:10 And we're going to leave this place together, right?
15:13 Right.
15:14 Okay.
15:16 Tomorrow's my day off.
15:19 And we're going on a picnic.
15:23 To rain, darling?
15:25 To our...
15:27 Favorite...
15:29 Spot.
15:31 [laughter]
15:33 [music]
15:38 [music]
15:39 Oh, corrupt and faithless seed.
15:46 How long shall I endure thy iniquity?
15:49 [music]
16:05 I must be sure before I kill again.
16:08 What does he mean again? You haven't had a murder here since Prohibition.
16:12 What about Toby Cadwell?
16:15 Four people saw Opal Johnson shoot him. I mean an unsolved murder.
16:19 Oh.
16:21 Unless maybe he's talking about Suzy Tomlinson.
16:25 Now, you know the coroner ruled that an accident.
16:28 I didn't buy that then. I don't buy it now.
16:32 Look, you're hired to keep the peace, not to stir up more trouble.
16:35 Bill, we try to solve crimes, not cover them up.
16:41 This is a summer resort.
16:44 The tourist trade here keeps the natives alive all winter.
16:47 No elected official is going to hand down a verdict that's going to scare off the tourists.
16:52 Especially if not a single shred of evidence.
16:55 What about this?
16:57 Sun crank.
16:59 Maybe. Maybe he's a murderer.
17:02 Only a psycho could write a letter like this.
17:04 Someone who reads his own corruption into everything he sees.
17:09 Look, Al, if this letter's on the level,
17:14 you got a sitting duck out there and before you know it, he'll be a dead duck.
17:18 You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Of course not.
17:20 All right. And why don't you let me nose around a little, ask a few questions.
17:23 Okay? All right, all right.
17:25 Bill.
17:30 Keep this to yourself.
17:31 No leak to the newspapers, no nothing, unless you're sure. Okay?
17:35 Telephone, Edith.
17:46 Oh, all right.
17:48 Florian, see if Bess is awake yet.
17:50 Bess?
17:52 Bess?
17:53 Morning, kitten.
18:07 Where are you rushing?
18:09 Larry and I are going on a picnic.
18:11 Your mother's going to be furious.
18:13 That's news.
18:15 Beth, your mother and I had a long talk last night after you left.
18:18 I can guess who did the talking.
18:21 She's heard rumors about you and Larry.
18:23 She's thinking of packing you off to the city.
18:25 She wouldn't.
18:27 You know that she would.
18:29 So take a tip from your old pal here and get home in time for this shindig tonight.
18:33 I will, I promise.
18:35 And I'll be the perfect junior hostess.
18:37 Tell her for me.
18:39 Get out of here before I tan your bottom.
18:41 (Chuckles)
18:42 I heard you had a breakdown after she...
19:09 after it happened.
19:11 I'm not intruding, I hope.
19:22 I saw the car outside.
19:24 This is Mr. Archer, Mr. Freytag.
19:26 He's come to talk about Susan.
19:30 Oh, nothing wrong, I hope.
19:32 Not a thing, Mr. Freytag.
19:38 Well, I won't intrude.
19:40 You'll know where to find me if I can be of any assistance.
19:43 Thank you, but I'm already in your debt.
19:46 Not at all, not at all.
19:48 Good day, sir.
19:51 Miss Donovanson, I'm not here to hurt you any more than you've already been hurt.
20:01 That sounds trite, doesn't it?
20:07 Fact is, I'm reopening your sister's case.
20:10 Why?
20:12 Because I'm not satisfied with the coroner's verdict.
20:15 Why aren't you satisfied?
20:17 I've made some inquiries about Susan and her friends.
20:20 Among other things, I learned that Susan was an excellent swimmer.
20:25 Susan slipped and hit her head on the dock.
20:29 She was unconscious when she fell into the water.
20:35 You don't really believe that.
20:37 I have no reason to disbelieve it. Why do you ask such a question?
20:42 Miss Donovanson,
20:45 did Susan have any close friends that you were concerned about?
20:54 Susan had lots of nice friends.
20:57 I mean boyfriends.
20:59 Just what are you suggesting?
21:04 I'm not suggesting...
21:05 I understand you kept a pretty tight rein on her.
21:10 Maybe too tight.
21:12 A young girl needs close supervision.
21:15 And you gave her close supervision. Very close.
21:19 And so, she reacted quite naturally.
21:23 She rebelled.
21:25 She had dates behind your back.
21:27 It's not true.
21:29 She spent quite a lot of time down at the boathouse with Larry Carter, for one.
21:33 I don't wish to discuss it.
21:35 Now why do you suppose they're pestering that poor dear again?
21:50 I don't know.
21:52 Oh, it's Tuesday again, I see.
21:55 Well, you told me if I worked weekends, I could have Tuesdays off.
22:00 Back on my Christian word, you know that.
22:02 But I do think you're seeing too much of that petted girl.
22:05 Well, who I see, and how often I see her, is my business, Aunt Eunice.
22:09 I've noticed a disturbing change in you lately, Larry.
22:13 You've been keeping bad hours. There's been talk.
22:16 Even Mr. Freitag has remarked about your behavior.
22:20 I figured he'd be meddling.
22:22 Mr. Freitag's a nice religious man, and you'd do well to heed his example.
22:28 Pity he's only here for the summer.
22:30 Yeah, ain't that a shame.
22:32 Now don't be surly, young man.
22:34 I'm not being surly.
22:36 Perverseness. Was there ever so much perverseness in the world?
22:38 I'd better be going.
22:40 Larry!
22:42 Yes, ma'am.
22:44 I don't mean to be harsh.
22:46 I want you to have friends, and good, clean fun, but you do have a responsibility.
22:51 With your uncle, then.
22:53 You're a man of the house now.
22:57 You understand that now, don't you?
22:59 I understand.
23:01 Hello?
23:21 Yes?
23:25 Another letter just came in.
23:27 Special delivery.
23:29 Go ahead.
23:31 It was mailed last night, or either early this morning.
23:34 It's unsigned.
23:36 It reads, "I am now certain I must kill again."
23:39 "I am now certain I must kill again."

25:07 - Beth?
25:17 - If it's something serious, I don't want to hear it.
25:20 Everything's too beautiful.
25:22 This guy has a fresh coat of blue just for us.
25:26 - We're making a big mistake, Beth.
25:28 - How?
25:29 - By not getting married right now.
25:31 - Oh, Larry, I--
25:32 - Well, why not?
25:33 Drive into the next state, get a license,
25:35 and be married before morning.
25:36 - But what about my mother and your aunt?
25:39 - Tell her you're spending the night at Shirley's.
25:41 Shirley will cover for you.
25:42 - No, I won't start our life together with a lie.
25:45 - Well, it's a little late to be fussy, isn't it?
25:48 - Well, I hope it isn't too late, Larry,
25:54 because I've decided to tell my mother all about us.
25:57 What we have is too precious to spoil
25:59 with hiding and lies.
26:01 I'm going to tell her everything.
26:02 - Have you gone soft in the head?
26:04 She'll never let you marry a guy with no parents,
26:06 no real family, except an aunt who spends all her time
26:10 singing hymns and telling everybody
26:11 what a good Christian she is.
26:12 - I'll have to take that chance.
26:13 - That chance.
26:14 - It's the only way.
26:16 - What you're saying is no.
26:18 Okay, it's no, and that's the end of it.
26:20 I'll drive you back to town.
26:28 - Larry?
26:31 (dramatic music)
26:33 - Beth, what are we gonna do?
26:37 - Oh, you goof, you wonderful zany goof.
26:42 I love you.
26:43 - I love you.
26:44 - Isn't that enough for now?
26:47 It'll work out, honey.
26:49 I don't know how, but it will.
26:52 It will!
26:52 - That's funny, but I don't care much right now,
26:57 just as long as I don't lose you.
27:01 - Just you try and lose me.
27:03 Larry, there's somebody up there watching us.
27:15 - Who'd be watching us?
27:17 - No, there's somebody up there.
27:18 I feel it, I know it.
27:19 - Oh, don't be silly.
27:21 - Let's go and find out.
27:23 - Cut it out, Beth.
27:24 Okay, stubborn, wait for me.
27:27 (dramatic music)
27:30 Nothing!
27:43 (dramatic music)
27:46 See what'd I tell ya?
28:03 - I had the creepiest feeling, Larry.
28:06 - Come here, you.
28:07 Hey, look at the sun, it must be almost six.
28:12 - Hey, we better go.
28:13 If I'm late for Mother's party, everything'll be ruined.
28:16 - I'll race you down the hill.
28:17 - Ow!
28:23 - You all right?
28:24 - Larry, my ankle!
28:26 Oh, how are we gonna get back to the car?
28:28 (dramatic music)
28:33 (people chattering)
28:40 (Beth whimpers)
28:43 - Vlad!
28:46 - I'll get the spare.
28:49 - I haven't got one.
28:50 What are we gonna do?
28:51 - Well, don't panic.
28:53 I'll hit you right down to Kearney's garage and get it fixed.
28:56 You can change while I'm gone.
28:58 - Well, I'm going with you.
28:59 - No, you'd only slow me down.
29:01 - But Larry, I don't wanna stay here alone.
29:05 - Well, I can't carry you and wheel the tire, too.
29:07 Lock yourself in the car if you're scared.
29:09 - But Larry, I--
29:10 - Look, do you wanna get home on time?
29:13 Then quit arguing.

35:32 - Yes sir, she sure looks dead to me.
35:34 - Where is she?
35:34 - Up that trail yonder a ways.
35:36 You see, we heard this horn a honking
35:38 and went up there to see if we could help.
35:40 And when we got up near the car,
35:41 this man come out from under the hood,
35:43 took one look at us and run off into the brush.
35:45 - Could you recognize him?
35:46 - No, but my wife here saw him
35:48 tearing out towards town in his car.
35:50 You know, he must've had it parked down the road a ways.

37:11 - What happened?
37:12 - Someone tried to kill me.
37:17 - Who?
37:19 - I don't know.
37:20 A man, he, Larry left me
37:25 and I felt I was being watched.
37:29 And then he was standing there.
37:35 - You're all right, buddy.
37:38 Cry it out.
37:39 You can tell me all about it on the way into town.
37:44 (somber music)
37:47 (Mitch crying)
37:49 (tires screeching)
38:07 (car door slams)
38:15 (car engine rumbling)
38:18 - Oh, my dear.
38:24 Oh, thank heaven you're all right.
38:29 - I'm sorry I spoiled your party, mother.
38:31 - Your uncle and I have telephoned everybody.
38:33 We've told them you had an automobile accident.
38:34 That's all they need to ever know.
38:36 - Something's happened to Larry
38:38 and they won't tell me what.
38:40 - I'll drop back later to talk to your daughter,
38:41 Mrs. Petton, good night.
38:42 - Oh, officer.
38:44 There's to be no talk about where my daughter was found.
38:47 Sheriff Matthews and I have discussed it.
38:48 Do you understand?
38:49 Now, let's go and have a talk
38:55 about what we're going to tell people.
38:56 - No, I'm going to Larry.
38:58 - Beth!
38:59 - Uncle Florian, can I borrow your car?
39:00 - You're staying here
39:01 and you're going to do exactly as I tell you.
39:02 - I'm sorry, mother.
39:04 - Beth, your mother may be right.
39:05 If the newspapers get ahold of this,
39:06 you know how they'll slant the story.
39:08 Daughter of prominent socialite attacked by fiend.
39:10 - Can I borrow your car?
39:11 - Beth, you've got to listen to me.
39:13 - I'm going if I have to crawl.
39:15 - Oh, so it's finally come to the surface, has it?
39:18 I know now what I've seen in you all, Summer Beth.
39:20 In spite of a fine home and a decent family,
39:23 you've turned out to be nothing but a little tramp.
39:26 - Whatever I am, I have you to thank, mother,
39:29 for making me hide and tell lies.
39:32 And worst of all,
39:33 for making me feel ashamed of loving Larry.
39:35 - How dare you?
39:36 (gasps)
39:41 - And thanks for that, too.
39:43 - Beth, wait, I'll drive.
39:48 (car door slams)
39:52 - How'd it happen?
40:07 - Uh, somebody banged him.
40:11 Then they pushed the down button.
40:13 He'd have been crushed
40:14 if that tire rim hadn't been laying there.
40:16 - Won't the rack go back up?
40:18 - No, it's frozen.
40:19 That'll be cut through in a minute.
40:21 - Anybody see who did it?
40:23 - No, but it had to be the same weirdo
40:25 that wrote those letters and tried to kill the pettit girl.
40:27 - And murdered Suzy Tama.
40:29 - Well, there's a connection, that's for sure.
40:32 - How much longer, Sheriff?
40:34 - It'll be a few minutes yet, Doctor.
40:36 - Think you can revive him, Doctor?
40:38 - You'll have to wait with your questions.
40:39 - Until when? - Until tonight, maybe.
40:42 The Portville Hospital is sending an ambulance.
40:44 Meanwhile, we'll take him to his home.
40:46 - How bad is that head injury?
40:48 - I can't tell till I see the X-rays.
40:50 (water rushing)
40:54 (somber music)
41:01 (people chattering)
41:05 (water rushing)
41:08 (somber music)
41:37 - They told me it's the garage they brought him here.
41:38 Where is he?
41:39 - So you're the young miss that started all this trouble.
41:42 Out of charity, I take in a homeless boy
41:45 and suddenly my house is filled with policemen and tramps.
41:49 - Now, just a minute.
41:50 - It's all right, Uncle Florian.
41:51 I'm getting used to that name now.
41:53 - Well, listen to her.
41:53 She actually flaunts the fact.
41:55 - Where's Larry?
41:57 - Upstairs in his room.
41:58 But you're not going up there.
42:00 - Don't try to stop me, Mrs. Appleby.
42:02 Unless you want a scene, your neighbors will never forget.
42:05 - I'll bet.
42:06 I'd better get back to your mother
42:07 and try to square things for both of us.
42:10 Phone me when you're ready to come home.
42:12 (somber music)
42:15 (door creaking)
42:44 - Doctor, will he be all right?
42:46 - He's coming out.
42:47 - He doesn't seem to see me.
42:55 - No, no, that's a perfectly normal reaction.
42:59 We've given him a shot to keep him alive.
43:01 He'll be very woozy for a while.
43:04 I got another call to make.
43:08 I'll be back before the ambulance arrives.
43:12 (ominous music)
43:14 (ominous music)
43:18 (ominous music)
43:21 (ominous music)
43:23 (ominous music)
43:26 (ominous music)
43:53 (ominous music)
43:56 (ominous music)
44:09 (ominous music)
44:21 (ominous music)
44:24 - Oh, oh, Mr. Freytag, you gave me such a fright.
44:50 - I'm so sorry, Mrs. Appleby.
44:53 - Why didn't you come in the front way?
44:55 - There's a policeman outside.
44:57 I was afraid he wouldn't let anybody in the house,
45:00 and I was concerned for you.
45:02 - Oh, how kind you are.
45:04 Only the other day I was telling Miss Tomlinson
45:06 how you've been taking an interest in Larry.
45:09 - I saw them bringing Larry home.
45:11 What happened, Mrs. Appleby?
45:14 - You haven't heard?
45:17 - No, I just returned from Portville.
45:19 - Oh, it's all over town, Mr. Freytag, the shame of it.
45:22 How I'm ever going to live down the shame.
45:25 Some fiend attacked Larry at the gas station,
45:28 and the girl he was out in the woods with, alone.
45:31 She's upstairs with him now, the brazen little baggage.
45:35 Even threatened to create a scene if I tried to stop her.
45:38 After all I've done to that boy,
45:40 this is the way he repays me.
45:42 - Have either of them been able to say who attacked them?
45:46 - No, but the sheriff told me the girl will probably remember
45:50 what the fiend looked like when she gets over her shock.
45:53 - I see.
45:54 - Well, you'll have to excuse me now, Mr. Freytag.
45:58 The doctor's given me a prescription to get filled for Larry.
46:01 - You're leaving them up there, alone?
46:04 - Oh, dear.
46:06 Would you, could you possibly--
46:09 - Of course, I'd be glad to stay here and chaperone them.
46:13 - Oh, oh, you're very considerate.
46:16 All this trouble.
46:18 If it didn't go contrary to my Christian beliefs,
46:22 I'd wish the both of them dead.
46:25 - When night darkens the streets,
46:28 then wander forth the sons of Belial.
46:31 That's from Milton's Paradise Lost.
46:34 Belial is the spirit of evil personified.
46:38 One of the fallen angels.
46:41 - Yes, well, I won't be long.
46:46 - Darling, shh.
47:09 Shh.
47:11 Darling, we're together now.
47:18 And nothing will ever come between us again.
