02:25In the morgue, there is a lethal gassed suicide.
02:30And I deals, peasant.
02:40Have you made arrangements?
02:42No.
02:44You know I do not work under prying eyes.
02:50You will find a way for me to work without detection.
02:54It is your chance to show me your gratitude
02:58for my generosity and protection.
03:06I will never forget what you have done for me
03:09and will do anything to help you.
03:12But the morgue, dead people.
03:16I suppose we should be caught.
03:24How many times have you told me of your impersonations
03:30that you never had a chance?
03:34Maybe your art will serve you after all.
03:40You have seen the coroner?
03:42Why not impersonate him?
03:44No.
03:45That's it!
03:46Impersonate him!
03:49The time has come when you can repay me
03:53for what I have done.
03:55It's horrible, I tell you.
03:57Working on the dead, trying to bring back life.
04:00It's not natural.
04:02You with your weird ideas.
04:04What?
04:05Haven't I stayed here and nursed dying dogs?
04:07Yeah.
04:08And even that miserable cat?
04:13And for what?
04:15For a measly roof and food.
04:17Because you took me in.
04:19When I was down and out.
04:22Once a ham, always a ham.
04:30You, an actor?
04:37But don't forget, my dear Maxwell.
04:42The police would be very glad to find you.
04:47I didn't mean I wouldn't.
04:50Of course not.
04:55In time, you may become a great man.
05:20This is the one.
05:24This is the one.
05:28This is the one.
05:32This is the one.
05:36This is the one.
05:40This is the one.
05:44This is the one.
05:47This is the one.
05:49This is the one.
05:50Here!
05:59File number 26941.
06:02Maria Alchora, 24, suicide.
06:06Carbon monoxide death.
06:08Not claimed.
06:19Perfect!
06:21But we'll have to work fast.
06:29I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
06:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
06:35I'm sorry.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:40I'm sorry.
06:42I'm sorry.
06:43I'm sorry.
06:45I'm sorry.
06:48I'm sorry.
06:58My gosh.
07:00Them stiffs are getting heavier and more of them every day.
07:12Between the gangsters and the auto drivers,
07:14we don't need another war to carry off the population.
07:17You didn't even mention suicides.
07:21They even got the cardinal working overtime.
07:32Say, did you see the butte that come in today?
07:36Did I?
07:38She's the one that has the cardinal doing the night work.
07:47What, special autopsy?
07:50Must be.
08:03I wonder who that old sandy cloth is.
08:08I must get her out of here.
08:10She must be in there somewhere.
08:13I must get her out of here.
08:16She must have oxygen.
08:27Unlock the side door and back up the cart.
08:31But watch out for the guard.
08:33And as soon as he's out of the way,
08:35we'll take her out of here.
08:43You say the corpse of the young woman has been stolen?
08:46Yes.
08:48And it sure has me puzzled.
08:50Why, I might have thought I took it.
08:52Well, I'd have swore it was the cardinal himself.
09:01There must have been a very strong resemblance.
09:04Yeah, he was a dead image of him.
09:06And talked like him, too.
09:08Oh, yes.
09:10No, he was talking to some other old fellow there
09:13that looked like Sandy Cloth.
09:15As I said to Jake, he had whiskers and bushy hair
09:19and his eyes was wild.
09:21It must have been some other two fellows.
09:24Could you positively identify if you saw the party?
09:28I wouldn't swear to anything now
09:30after being secured to the cardinal.
09:33You know, Mike's description is very interesting.
09:37You know, Mike's description
09:39is very much like your friend Meyer Schultz.
09:43Tell me, have you seen him of late?
09:47Why, Dr. Meyer Schultz is really a great research scientist.
09:52Why, he's formulated some amazing methods
09:54for preserving gland extracts in the most potent states.
09:58He's no body snatcher.
10:01Well, doctors and scientists
10:03often have some queer things on their mind.
10:06Anyway, I'll look into it.
10:09Luigi Jones, I wouldn't like to offend the doctor.
10:13Don't worry.
10:15I'll do nothing to embarrass you.
10:25Captain, what do I do about this?
10:33Collins!
10:36See if you have anything there on Don Maxwell.
10:40Last heard from in this city.
10:43Uh, impersonations, vaudeville.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Okay, Cap.
10:50Let's see what we got in our files on Don Maxwell.
10:59With 24 hours complete rest,
11:02she will recover.
11:21Think of it.
11:23Life, back in a body that's shot oblivion.
11:28It's uncanny.
11:31The possibilities terrify me.
11:36But not one word out.
11:41This is but a step.
11:45Cases like this has the element of doubt.
11:49What I want is a victim with a shattered heart.
11:55Yes, a heart.
12:00That I can replace with this beating thing
12:04I have forced life back into.
12:11You will get me such a victim, Maxwell.
12:15It will be my supreme accomplishment.
12:27Not from the morgue.
12:29They'll get the species.
12:31I don't care where you get it.
12:33From the morgue.
12:34From the streets.
12:35The undertaker.
12:38Get one.
12:41The end will justify the means.
12:52The undertaker, around the corner.
12:55That gangster shot today.
12:57Just the thing.
13:03Come on.
13:33Come here.
14:03Where is it?
14:05I couldn't get it.
14:12Coward!
14:19Are you a fool?
14:21You have freed me.
14:23In the greatest moment of my life.
14:27Are you a fool?
14:29You have freed me.
14:31In the greatest moment of my life.
14:57You have freed me.
15:18I have it.
15:20You know my powers.
15:22You have worked with me.
15:24You have faith in me.
15:26Take this.
15:28Take it and take your life.
15:30And I will give it back to you.
15:32My living heart shall beat in your body.
15:35And we'll live again.
15:37Only think of it.
15:39You will live.
15:43You will live.
15:47Live.
15:56Live.
16:26Live.
16:45Murder.
16:52Murder.
16:55And of my benefactor.
16:59Horrible.
17:01Who has so much to give the world.
17:09But has he?
17:14Why should the unconscious peace of the dead be disturbed?
17:21Isn't the spark that moves the maggot?
17:25The self-same spark that moves the man?
17:29Preserving that spark in the individual is not important.
17:34What we do with the spark while we have it is important.
17:39In my assurance the spark is gone.
17:44In Maxwell it lives.
17:55The spark.
18:16This may come in handy.
18:19But nothing to bring him back.
18:22I'd better hide him.
18:24I'd better hide him.
18:55Dr. Meyersholtz, please.
18:59Why, he isn't here.
19:01How terrible.
19:02It's so very urgent.
19:05Will you tell him that Mr. Buckley is having positively alarming hallucinations.
19:10Why, he thinks he's the orangutan murderer.
19:13Imposed murder of the room morgue.
19:16Tell the doctor I must have some definite help.
19:19I'll go get him and bring him in.
19:25No.
19:26Don't do that.
19:55Meyersholtz would be missed.
19:59Maxwell never would.
20:24Mr. Buckley.
20:55Buckley.
21:16Buckley.
21:25Not only do I look like Meyersholtz.
21:28I am Meyersholtz.
21:31I will be a great man.
21:54Meyersholtz.
22:25I'll give him a shot to relieve the nerve tension.
22:28May I help him?
22:30We'll try that first.
22:32Take off your coat.
22:55Take off your coat.
22:57I'm going to have a look.
23:23Super adrenaline.
23:25No, not that.
23:33Ah!
23:38Water.
23:41That will do no harm.
23:48And I will be rid of them.
23:54Ah!
23:55Ah!
24:22There now.
24:23You will feel better.
24:29Slipping.
24:34Doctor, he seems to be getting worse instead of better.
24:47Stealing through my body.
24:49Creeping through my veins.
24:53Pouring in my blood.
24:57Oh, there's a fire in my brain.
25:02Stabbing me.
25:05Agony.
25:08I can't stand this torture.
25:12This torment.
25:15I can't stand it.
25:18I won't.
25:20I won't.
25:21I won't.
25:36What was in that hypo?
25:47Ah!
25:48Ah!
25:49Ah!
25:50Ah!
25:51Ah!
25:52Ah!
25:53Ah!
25:54Ah!
25:55Ah!
25:56Ah!
25:57Ah!
25:58Ah!
25:59Ah!
26:00Ah!
26:01Ah!
26:02Ah!
26:03Ah!
26:04Ah!
26:05Ah!
26:06Ah!
26:07Ah!
26:08Ah!
26:09Ah!
26:10Ah!
26:11Ah!
26:12Ah!
26:13Ah!
26:14Ah!
26:15Ah!
26:16Ah!
26:17Ah!
26:18Ah!
26:23He's dead!
26:25Doctor, what have you done?
26:28This looks like murder.
26:30No, no.
26:32Not murder.
26:34My assistant shot himself.
26:41Shot himself?
26:43When?
26:45Why, I only saw him an hour ago.
26:48Why didn't you call the police?
26:50No, not the police.
26:52I wanted to bring him back to life.
26:55I wanted to experiment on him.
26:58In fact, I must.
27:03I can restore him.
27:07You shot your assistant just to experiment on him?
27:16No!
27:18No!
27:20No!
27:22No!
27:24No!
27:26No!
27:28No!
27:30No!
27:32No!
27:34No!
27:36No!
27:38No!
27:40Dr. Munch, I have often heard of your uncanny experiments,
27:44but this tops them all.
27:48But I think we speak the same language.
27:53Am I right?
27:55Well, I just don't get what you mean, same language.
28:00We have a common interest.
28:03When you bring your assistant back to life,
28:06his mind will do as you direct.
28:11You can do the same to Buckley.
28:14Then he will do as I direct.
28:42Buckley saw my body.
28:45The police.
28:47If they should come,
28:50I must bring him back.
28:59I'll find that formula.
29:05Kitty, kitty.
29:07Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
29:14Oh, howdy, Doc.
29:16Say, a couple of my cats got away.
29:18You seen them anywhere?
29:19Course not.
29:20What would I want with your cats?
29:22Oh, well, I didn't know.
29:24I thought maybe, you know, you might use them for, well,
29:28some experiments or something.
29:31Me cats?
29:32Never.
29:33Oh, uh, that is,
29:36I think too much of Satan to use cats for experiments.
29:40Oh, well, that's what I thought, you know.
29:48Well, no harm meant, Doc.
29:50Well, so long.
30:03Whoa.
30:06What am I going to do?
30:09The police will be here any minute.
30:13I must explore the body.
30:16I'll hide it.
30:18I'll burn it.
30:20No.
30:22I can't do that.
30:26The basement.
30:32The basement.
31:03Oh.
31:16Satan.
31:18The gleam.
31:21You wretch.
31:23Stand between me and salvation, will you?
31:32Oh.
32:02Meow.
32:04Meow.
32:06Meow.
32:18Why?
32:20It's nothing like an oyster.
32:22Or a crepe.
32:27But the gleam is gone.
32:32Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
32:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
32:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:02Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:26Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:32Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:47Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:56Do you know why Dr. Myers showed us some of these assistants, Don Maxwell?
33:59Sure. They're sort of queer, I'd say.
34:02There's lots of queer goings-on up there.
34:05Why, they even brought a dead dog back to life once.
34:08Well, that sounds very remarkable to me.
34:10It may be, but to my notion, those little monkeys with what they got no business to gets queer sooner or later.
34:16Maybe you're right.
34:17I know I am.
34:19Well, I even heard a shot up there last night.
34:21Why didn't you notify the police?
34:23That's their business, not mine.
34:38I understand from your neighbors that your cats are making noise at night.
34:45Dr. Myers shows us complaints.
34:47Yeah, he's been stealing my cats for his experiments.
34:50I know. I've been spying on him.
34:52How many cats have you? What's the matter, rats?
34:54Oh, thousands of them.
34:56Right here in my backyard.
34:58Thousands?
34:59Yeah, I've got a thousand cats, too.
35:01Want to see them?
35:02What's the idea? You sell them?
35:04Oh, no.
35:06It's my own idea.
35:10I'm in the business.
35:20Spur business.
35:22Oh, I see. Cats fur.
35:24You get it quick.
35:26Where do the rats come in?
35:28Uh, you ain't as quick as I thought.
35:32Look.
35:34You see, I figured out...
35:37that rats breed faster than cats.
35:41And cat skins makes good fur.
35:44Cats eat rats.
35:47And rats eat raw meat.
35:50That is, they eat the carcasses of the cats.
35:54So the rats eat the cats,
35:57the cats eat the rats,
35:59and I get the skins.
36:03Well, rats eating cats, well, that is news.
36:06Simple, ain't it?
36:08Say, by the way, did you hear a shot last night?
36:11Maybe. I don't know.
36:17I don't know.
36:35Hey, Maisie, we know you're hard-boiled.
36:38You don't have to stay in the water 30 minutes to prove it.
36:41Oh, let me alone.
36:43I may not be decent, but I'm sure gonna be clean.
36:46If anyone is entitled to the first place in that bathroom,
36:49it should be me.
36:51Didn't I sign the register and welcome you all as secret guests?
36:57If it wasn't for nervy little Alice,
36:59you'd all be sinking your weary bones
37:01into the soft recesses of some park bench
37:04with light, fleecy coverlets
37:06made by the great American press.
37:09Press?
37:11That reminds me. I have pressing business.
37:17Oh.
37:31Here's one for the book.
37:33Sandwich Man pounding pavements,
37:35walks out to a wallet with 42 grand in it.
37:38I'd like to find that man.
37:40Maybe we could sandwich him in.
37:42Can you imagine if the darn pool turns it in?
37:45It'd be a jellybean instead of what they thought it was.
37:49Well, it sure was soft, all right.
37:51But would it be soft to land on 42 grand?
37:55Yeah, but listen, after he turned it in,
37:57people made such a fuss over him that he went nutty.
37:59Thought he was the almighty in person.
38:02So that's what being honest gets you.
38:04A nice, soft, padded cell in the bug house.
38:07La cucaracha, la cockroach-a.
38:10Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
38:12It's pretty tough.
38:14He's been a poor guy.
38:16I'll bet nobody noticed him all his life.
38:18And then?
38:20Say, wasn't there some guy in history
38:22that spent all his life looking for an honest man?
38:25Sure, in his day, men were men.
38:28But today, they're too scared to be anything but honest.
38:32Yeah, but a brave guy can sure get away with plenty.
38:37Say, you must have been reading the papers.
38:39Or maybe you've been drinking crazy water
38:41and your head's tingling.
38:43Oh, Bella, play the heavy, heavy.
38:45Don't suit you.
38:46Oh, get me down.
38:48Always broke and never a break.
38:51Why don't you ditch that ham
38:53and pick yourself a rich husband?
38:55Rich husband?
38:56I've heard they come that way.
38:58Not very often.
39:00Often enough, but not our way.
39:02Oh, the girl has brains.
39:04You don't have to put a zipper on her skull to prove it either.
39:06Ellis, listen to this.
39:09Down next, where a personality impersonator gets lucky, breaks.
39:12Why, that's your husband, ain't it?
39:14Pipe down, will ya?
39:16Let her read it.
39:17By queer quirk of fate, actor falls heir to Australian estate.
39:21This paper is trying to find him.
39:23He used to be around in vaudeville days,
39:25but we haven't heard much of him lately.
39:27The lucky ham.
39:29From now on, he'll have the company of a good egg.
39:32We'll wonder if he's ever seen him.
39:35Say, I wonder if he's still with that goofy professor.
39:43He's inherited a fortune.
39:46You say a fortune?
39:49He never spoke to me of any rich relative.
39:51He hardly knew of them himself.
39:54I believe it was his uncle in Australia.
39:57I am certainly glad to hear that.
40:00I'm sure he'll be pleased.
40:02Oh, but don't tell him.
40:04You see, I want to tell him the news first.
40:08Oh, that's only natural.
40:10Mrs. Maxwell, your husband will be here at eight tonight.
40:15All right.
41:41The gleam.
41:43It was in Meyershaw's eyes when he wanted to murder me.
41:50It was in Mrs. Buckley's eyes when she wanted to murder her husband.
41:56Alice had the gleam in her eye when she wanted to find me.
42:02She'd murder me.
42:05That's what she wants to do.
42:08I must get rid of her.
42:13But how?
42:16Mrs. Buckley.
42:19She will help.
42:22She must help.
42:26Oh, we are lost.
42:28You are right.
42:32But before I can get him back here, you will have to help me.
42:37Mrs. Maxwell is crazy and will be here any minute.
42:42She thinks that I murdered her husband and wants to turn me over to the police.
42:47We must keep her subdued till I can get Buckley.
42:54Down in the basement is a secret vault.
42:58We will put her down there.
43:02You quiet her by jabbing this in her arm.
43:06And in the meantime, I will go get Buckley.
43:09It sounds all right.
43:12Except the fact she's crazy.
43:16It seems to me she has the right idea.
43:20So you feel that way too.
43:26Stay in there. I'll call you when needed.
43:36At last I have really secure living for us.
43:38We can travel or anything we want.
43:40Then you knew of the inheritance?
43:42Sure. I have one little job to accomplish.
43:45Then we can leave together.
43:47No doubt you were surprised at this disguise.
43:49Oh, no. I wouldn't be surprised at anything from you.
43:54No, honey. You were here in time to help me.
43:56I knew there was a catch in this someplace.
43:59Let's spill it.
44:03In the other room, I have a crazy woman I've been treating.
44:07Ha, ha. So you've been treating.
44:10Quiet, will you? Now this is serious.
44:13Our lives are in danger.
44:15What do you mean, are?
44:17That's what I said. Now listen to me.
44:20I want you to help me take this woman downstairs.
44:25I'll give her a shot.
44:27Then you take care of her till I get help.
44:31How about me getting the help?
44:36She's quiet now, isn't she?
44:39Yes, but she'll break out any minute.
44:42She's not afraid of a woman.
44:45So if she happens to get wild, just shove this into her arm.
44:50Now keep it hid.
44:52And all will be well.
45:02All right, Mrs. Buckley.
45:05We will go downstairs now.
45:07I have a special treatment room there.

49:57They drove me with hunger, with misery and humiliation.
50:04I only wanted to amuse, to entertain, but here I am, spent my life in prospecting a
50:12man that no one wanted, no one appreciated.
50:20I showed them Dr. Myershawn, a real impersonation.
50:33Dr. Myershawn, my supreme impersonation.
