00:02:40I told you there was none, Miss Petrie. None at all.
00:02:58Why were you in the dining room?
00:03:01I came in the back way, as usual.
00:03:04Who are those two men in there?
00:03:06That is my business, Mr. Johnson.
00:03:08Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:03:23Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my father had returned.
00:03:30Oh, why don't you stop?
00:03:32Hiya, gorgeous.
00:03:33Oh, he's selling a lot.
00:03:34Not me, Miss Evans, on a swell trip, but I'm glad to get back to where I'm sure of seeing good-looking girls.
00:03:39How are you, June?
00:03:40Yes, sir, it's grand to get back to all you beautiful girls.
00:03:44Uh-oh. Oh, well, we can't all look good.
00:03:47Your laugh, Mr. Danvers, splits more eardrums than a mule's hee-haw.
00:03:52Oh, I'm sorry. From now on, I'll laugh up my sleeve.
00:03:54And probably blow out an elbow.
00:03:56Always giving me the needles. She puts me in stitches.
00:03:59Dad, excuse me, please.
00:04:02Hello, darling.
00:04:05Well, what's your excuse?
00:04:07Here I pass up a heavy date to have dinner with my father, and he shows up four hours late.
00:04:11Oh, I'm sorry, June, but I couldn't...
00:04:13Thomas Harley.
00:04:14Yes, why?
00:04:15Let's go.
00:04:16What do you want me for?
00:04:18For robbing the Citizen State Bank and murdering a guard less than an hour ago.
00:04:21No, you're lying. Dad!
00:04:23Gentlemen, I can prove that you're wrong.
00:04:25Of course.
00:04:26I don't see how, with your fingerprints in the bank vault and beside the murdered man.
00:04:29They can't be my fingerprints.
00:04:31For the last four hours, I've been locked up in the Carey Theatrical Warehouse.
00:04:34Locked up? How?
00:04:35I don't know. I got in all right, but there's nobody there.
00:04:38I started out, but the only door was locked.
00:04:40For four hours? You could have telephoned.
00:04:43I tried to use the telephone, but it was out of order.
00:04:45I can prove what I say.
00:04:47Read this.
00:04:55It's no good, Harley.
00:04:57Get Dave Wyatt. He can prove my innocence.
00:04:59We can't get Wyatt. He's been dead eight years.
00:05:02Wyatt dead?
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05When did you know him?
00:05:06When you were both convicts in state prison 20 years ago?
00:05:09Dad!
00:05:11Tell them you were never in prison.
00:05:13It's true, June, but don't worry.
00:05:16It's all a mistake, as these men will soon learn. I'll be back quickly.
00:05:28I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie.
00:05:30But you never stay long enough.
00:05:32Only come to say goodbye.
00:05:34Government work keep me hopping like dissatisfied flea from dog to dog.
00:05:39Even now, automobile and assistance outside.
00:05:42I've got to get back to work.
00:05:44I've got to get back to work.
00:05:46I've got to get back to work.
00:05:48I've got to get back to work.
00:05:50I've got to get back to work.
00:05:52I've got to get back to work.
00:05:54Even now, automobile and assistance outside.
00:05:57Loaded for trip to distant city.
00:06:00Automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:06:03Tony, dad's final appeal has been denied.
00:06:05Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers?
00:06:08June, dear, I phoned you several times. You were out.
00:06:11We've got to keep trying.
00:06:13June, I know the strain you're under, but breaking down won't help.
00:06:16Dad has only nine days to live.
00:06:18You know that he's innocent.
00:06:20I've always believed that.
00:06:21Or as public defender, I'd never have carried the case so far.
00:06:24If dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man.
00:06:27The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:30June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan.
00:06:32Miss Harley.
00:06:33Miss Harley. Oh, I followed Thomas Harley case all through trial.
00:06:36What did you think of the case against Mr. Harley?
00:06:38Case seemed quite perfect. Almost too perfect.
00:06:41Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says.
00:06:43June, dear.
00:06:44We have only a few days left. We've got to do something.
00:06:46Where can I get a good private detective?
00:06:48That idea's useless.
00:06:49Charlie, if you won't give me the name of a detective, I'll find one myself.
00:06:52June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:53My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help.
00:06:56It was no use.
00:06:58I'm sorrier than you'll ever know it, I have to say it, but there's nothing we can do.
00:07:02One thing can be done.
00:07:04What's that, Charlie?
00:07:05Give young lady name of detective.
00:07:07Who would you suggest?
00:07:08Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend.
00:07:11Call on detective tonight.
00:07:12Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state?
00:07:16The ancient proverbs say, one small wind can raise much dust.
00:07:20Excuse, please.
00:07:23What name did he give you?
00:07:24Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance.
00:07:27Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:29All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:46Tidied the toothpaste of the tube.
00:07:48We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:50Excellent, excellent.
00:07:51It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:54Thank you, Pop, thank you.
00:07:55Car okay?
00:07:56Oh, yes, all oil and grease.
00:07:57Yes, and a tank full of gas.
00:07:59Good.
00:08:00Now we will go back to hotel.
00:08:02What for?
00:08:03To unpack baggage.
00:08:06I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:14Now, ain't that something?
00:08:15After we packed the bags, better than we ever packed them before.
00:08:18Now, that's what your Pop said.
00:08:20Yep, then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:22It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:24Yeah, you know what told me?
00:08:25I got a headache.
00:08:26A headache?
00:08:27Mm-hmm.
00:08:28I don't know where I got it, but I got one.
00:08:30Always sitting.
00:08:32Wish you would wear out brains instead of cedar pants.
00:08:35Pop, we have been thinking.
00:08:36Most impossible.
00:08:37Oh, yes, Mr. Chan, we've been thinking.
00:08:39And now you have a headache.
00:08:44Hey, how did he know that?
00:08:46Now, in a case like this, what would confusion say?
00:08:49It's not confusion, it's Confucius.
00:08:52Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me.
00:08:55Hey, you hear that one brain knocking?
00:08:58That's you.
00:08:59That's the door.
00:09:00Uh-oh, that's me.
00:09:05Mr. Chan.
00:09:06Right over that way, ma'am.
00:09:13Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:14Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:16I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:18Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful.
00:09:22Mr.
00:09:23This is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:09:24I phoned him at the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:27I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison.
00:09:29I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:33I wanted Hugh to tell Dad.
00:09:35Mr. Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:38I'm detective, not magician.
00:09:40You must not expect too much on short notice.
00:09:43But we have only nine days.
00:09:45Honorable grandmother always say, do not think of future.
00:09:49It come too soon.
00:09:51Police report on Harley case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:55You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:57Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:59But where?
00:10:00Place where you live.
00:10:02Why look there?
00:10:03Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:05He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:08Tooth is missing, but gap remain.
00:10:11From gap, we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:16We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:23Sitting assistants.
00:10:25You will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:29Okay, Pop.
00:10:30Boy, a murder case.
00:10:31Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:32Hurry?
00:10:33Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:35Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:38I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:39Every time they start, they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:43I've told you, that's all I know.
00:10:45Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:50Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:52Ugliest trade sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:56Even grave digger know some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:02I'm sorry I said that.
00:11:03It just slipped out.
00:11:04Many such slip might solve mystery.
00:11:07Please continue.
00:11:08That's all I have to say.
00:11:10That's what woman always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:14You are a social worker?
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:18You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:23Often.
00:11:24What's wrong with that?
00:11:25Nothing.
00:11:26Very fine civic duty.
00:11:28Mr. Harley live in this house for 15 years.
00:11:31So, you must have known he was ex-convict when he first enter this house.
00:11:36I did.
00:11:37I told you.
00:11:39I did.
00:11:40I tried to help him.
00:11:41You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:44He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:47After, he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:4915 years after.
00:11:53What about note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:11:59Same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:12:02It was, but Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:07Even so, you could have written note before crime occur.
00:12:11So, could anyone else in this house.
00:12:14Thank you so much.
00:12:16Mr. Kinsey, you will please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:21You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:24No, I have not.
00:12:32You work for social foundation, Mrs. Baker?
00:12:35Afternoon, as a typist.
00:12:38Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary theatrical warehouse.
00:12:43Was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:46Oh, go on. Leave her alone, mister.
00:12:48She uses a seeking sock system. I've seen her practicing.
00:12:51On Mrs. Foss' typewriter?
00:12:54You make much money as typist?
00:12:56No?
00:12:57Yet, you wear most expensive clothes.
00:13:00Most of my clothes are given to me by people.
00:13:03My clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:13Mr. Johnson, you are public accountant?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16You have own business?
00:13:18Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:22One of your business firms is Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:13:27But the police knew that.
00:13:29They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place,
00:13:31I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:37Now, Mr. Danvers,
00:13:39you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden
00:13:42shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:47You had me worried for a minute, but you're right.
00:13:49I was in both cities, often.
00:13:51You also visit banks which were robbed, including Citizen State Bank here.
00:13:56I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:59The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:14:02You sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks?
00:14:05Yes, sir. It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:09With your knowledge of banks,
00:14:10could you not be a very great assistance
00:14:13to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:16Wait a minute.
00:14:17If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:19Merely suggest what you could do,
00:14:21if dishonest.
00:14:25Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans.
00:14:27Listen, I buy my own clothes.
00:14:29Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:31Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat,
00:14:34I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:36During a investigation of Cary Warehouse,
00:14:39a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:42A dress of mine?
00:14:43Very small dress, consisting of few feathers.
00:14:48Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:50Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:54But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:56I wore that costume in frivolous follies.
00:14:59But the show finally flopped.
00:15:01Cary's must have bought the props, scenery,
00:15:02and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:04But your show plays cities of Lamont and Rodden
00:15:07at same time banks were robbed there
00:15:10in identical manner
00:15:12which cities and state bank robbed here.
00:15:14Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:17No, merely at moment trying to figure
00:15:19how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:23Oh, very cute.
00:15:25That will be sufficient for present.
00:15:27All may go now.
00:15:34Did you learn anything that will help, Mr. Chan?
00:15:36No, tomorrow we'll visit prison and interview your father.
00:15:40Tell him not to worry
00:15:41and tell him we're doing everything for him.
00:15:42I said all may go, which include you, Miss Evans.
00:15:46I heard you the first time.
00:15:49Are you going to leave now, Mr. Chan?
00:15:56Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:16:00This is my house and I'll do as I like.
00:16:04Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help,
00:16:06I'll get a leave of absence from my job and come down here.
00:16:08No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:10Miss Harley is right.
00:16:11You return to job I send for you when I need you.
00:16:14Mr. Chan, I'm scared.
00:16:15We only have nine days.
00:16:16Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:18Excellent advice.
00:16:20Remember old saying,
00:16:21but sand upon which rock stood
00:16:23still right there in same old place.
00:16:26You relax and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:35Mr. Chan, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:38No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:41Well, I'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:43What am I saying?
00:16:44You surprise yourself, Mr. Chan.
00:16:46It's the shortest way to prison.
00:16:48What am I saying?
00:16:50You surprise yourself, huh?
00:16:52Usually you surprise me.
00:17:01Did you see that bee come through here
00:17:02with that jet job motor?
00:17:06Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:07Where's Birmingham?
00:17:08The car's going by itself.
00:17:09No, it ain't.
00:17:10I was steering by remote control.
00:17:11Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:13Only persons know we come this way
00:17:15are people living at Foss Hotel.
00:17:17This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:44I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:45I think, uh...
00:17:46As old friend Warden Cameron, you think what?
00:17:50You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:52I mean it.
00:17:53You haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:55But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:57What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:18:00Oh, I know how you feel,
00:18:01but I still think you're being foolish.
00:18:03Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:18:06Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:09Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:12Oh, this is Guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:14Oh, I've already met Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:16Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:18Harley should get resigned to the fact
00:18:20that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:22He'll sit in.
00:18:24Sit again.
00:18:25Remain where you are.
00:18:27Oh, Warden.
00:18:30Uh, Mr. Barker wanted the print files
00:18:32on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:34Oh, yes. In my office.
00:18:36Uh, go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:37One moment.
00:18:38I have seen you before?
00:18:40I don't know, but I've seen you.
00:18:43You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:44And you are...
00:18:45Number 8251.
00:18:49He's Jimmy Slade, a forger.
00:18:51He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:54Did you see that man give Pop the eye?
00:18:56You mean that tough guy?
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:58Oh, you mean the convict?
00:18:59Mm-hmm.
00:19:00No.
00:19:01Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:19:02Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:19:06What do you say, boy?
00:19:07Not much.
00:19:08Man, it's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:10Yeah, but this face ain't staying.
00:19:11Neither is mine.
00:19:17Mr. Chan to see you, Mr. Harley.
00:19:21I've been waiting to see you, Mr. Chan.
00:19:23Sorry to see you here, Mr. Harley,
00:19:25but great pleasure to meet you anywhere.
00:19:27I don't know what I'm going to say.
00:19:29Please, sit down.
00:19:31Yeah!
00:19:32Birmingham, you're always late, even coming to see me.
00:19:35Don't you ever do anything on time?
00:19:37Sure, I bought a car once.
00:19:38How?
00:19:39On time.
00:19:40You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:41What?
00:19:42I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:43No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45Why, no.
00:19:46Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:47Not that bad.
00:19:48The lady at the beauty parlor said that she was going to...
00:19:50They can't recap them wrinkles.
00:19:51No?
00:19:52No.
00:19:53Now, what they should do is...
00:19:54They did.
00:19:55And while we was over there, do you know what...
00:19:57I know, I know.
00:19:59Now, look, is that the same gal you...
00:20:01No, she don't weigh that much now.
00:20:02No?
00:20:03No, all she weighs now is...
00:20:04That's still too heavy.
00:20:06Why don't you get her to go on the same diet my gal used?
00:20:09Get her to take two...
00:20:10Oh, they don't make that stuff anymore.
00:20:11No?
00:20:12No, now, what I want to give her is something...
00:20:14That'll give her hay fever.
00:20:15Yeah?
00:20:16Why, sure.
00:20:17Listen, in that case, why don't you take her over to...
00:20:20I did.
00:20:21And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:22Who?
00:20:23I saw...
00:20:24Is he still out there?
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26I thought he was...
00:20:27He was, but he got out.
00:20:28Is that so?
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:30He's staying over with Mr...
00:20:31Is that so?
00:20:32Mm-hmm.
00:20:33They must be charging him.
00:20:34No, not that much.
00:20:35No?
00:20:36No, all he's paying is...
00:20:37That's a fair price.
00:20:38Yeah?
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:40Well, looky here.
00:20:41I got to go now.
00:20:42I'll be over to see you.
00:20:43I'll be working then.
00:20:44Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:45I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:46Okay, sure.
00:20:47Look me up now.
00:20:48I'll do that.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50Who is that man?
00:20:51Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:52That's my brother, Ben.
00:20:53Oh, you're...
00:20:54Your wife died while you were in prison 20 years ago?
00:21:00When June was born.
00:21:02I never told June because I...
00:21:04I meant to go straight.
00:21:06And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:21:08But your fingerprint's found in bank vault.
00:21:10Yes, I know.
00:21:12I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:14They were my prints, but I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:21You don't believe me.
00:21:23Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:27Never believe nightmare, no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:31When you were here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:37Yes, he was.
00:21:39Ready to go, Mr. Chan?
00:21:40Yes, please.
00:21:41Don't you worry, Mr. Harley.
00:21:43Mr. Chan, do you think there's any hope?
00:21:46There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:50But if someone else committed the crime, then...
00:21:52Mr. Chan.
00:21:54What are you going to do?
00:21:56At moment, I'm like man trying to set clock by guess.
00:22:00And as time does not stand still, perhaps better not stand still myself.
00:22:07Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
00:22:09When he says, now let's turn to one corner and you says another.
00:22:13I don't...
00:22:15I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:16I don't know. Let's follow it and see.
00:22:18No, we better not.
00:22:20Hey, Punchy.
00:22:21You know what I heard through the grapevine?
00:22:23Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:25Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:27You know what I'm going to do when I see that Chan?
00:22:31Did you hear what that man said about Pop?
00:22:32I ain't deaf.
00:22:33I think we better follow them.
00:22:34What did you say just while ago when I said let's follow them?
00:22:36Come on.
00:22:37No, that ain't what you said.
00:22:40Watch this way, man.
00:22:49They went in here.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:51Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:52Look, you heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:54We got to find out what they're up to.
00:22:55Okay, okay.
00:23:00There they are. See them?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:16The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:19Maybe we better hide to keep them from following us.
00:23:21We'll sneak up on them.
00:23:22There you go. We'll sneak up again.
00:23:24Punchy, how many times do I got to tell you that ain't the way to do it?
00:23:28You slash once when you want to finish something.
00:23:31Now, do you want to know how to do it?
00:23:33Don't interrupt.
00:23:35You take the stabber like this.
00:23:37Once the job is done and it's neat.
00:23:42Do you hear me, Punchy?
00:23:44That's the way you do it.
00:23:45One slash.
00:23:49They are planning a murder.
00:23:50We got to find out who he's going to kill.
00:23:52We going to find out.
00:23:53You going to find out.
00:23:56Wait a minute.
00:23:58Wait a minute.
00:24:08Good grief. They got to knock off.
00:24:14They're still coming. They're right behind us.
00:24:15Yeah, they're in that crowd. We can't see them. Let's go.
00:24:19Good grief. The gang is from all sides.
00:24:23Look, here they come now.
00:24:24Do you see them?
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:26No. Let's go this way. Down the hall. Come on. Let's go.
00:24:29Oh, please. Let's get out of here.
00:24:31Here they come again. Good grief.
00:24:43Voiglers.
00:24:44You better count your money.
00:24:45Don't be always interrupting, Punchy. Count it.
00:24:47Come on, you guys.
00:24:48I used two guys following me.
00:24:49No, sir. We got here first, but you can have it.
00:24:51Listen, mister. It's all a mistake.
00:24:52What do you mean a mistake?
00:24:53I'm not telling you.
00:24:54You told me there's doors locked.
00:24:55Locked.
00:24:56Hey, how can we get out of here?
00:24:57Hey, fellas. There's a visitor here and he wants to know how we can get out.
00:25:02This ain't that funny. Mr. Champ.
00:25:04Hey, Pop.
00:25:05Mr. Champ.
00:25:06Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:08Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:09No. After talking to the gang, I'm going to quit.
00:25:12I'm going to quit.
00:25:13I'm going to quit.
00:25:14I'm going to quit.
00:25:15I'm going to quit.
00:25:16I'm going to quit.
00:25:17No. After talk with Mr. Harley, I'm convinced the man is innocent.
00:25:21But, Charlie, the law doesn't frame men.
00:25:24Accidents can happen if planned that way.
00:25:27But Harley's fingerprints were found in the bank.
00:25:29My theory is fingerprints were forged and placed at scene of crime.
00:25:34Oh, no, Charlie. That's impossible.
00:25:36Nothing is impossible. Forgery is only solution.
00:25:40Must find out how same is done before too late for Mr. Harley.
00:25:45Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:48Mr. Harley.
00:26:01Karen, what's up?
00:26:02A riot.
00:26:03What started the rioting?
00:26:05Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:09What strangers?
00:26:10Pop. Pop.
00:26:11Mr. Champ. Mr. Champ.
00:26:13Oh, which way?
00:26:16That's good, Mr. Chan!
00:26:20Quiet down! Come on!
00:26:23Come on! Quiet down!
00:26:25Come on! Quiet down!
00:26:28Right this way, Warden.
00:26:35He wants to get out!
00:26:37Don't be naughty.
00:26:38Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:39Who's that, Mr. Chan?
00:26:40Yep.
00:26:41So, even in prison you've caused trouble.
00:26:44But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:45Mr. Chan, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:48First time I hear cuckoos outside of clock.
00:26:50But, Pop, we heard them talking about you.
00:26:52Oh, Charlie, I heard you was here.
00:26:53When I saw you, I wanted to shake your hand.
00:26:55Mr. Foggy, why, a very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:58Thanks.
00:26:59I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:27:01Oh, sure. He put me in here.
00:27:03It took one of the greatest detectives in the world to do it.
00:27:05Oh, Mr. Chan, I want you to meet me pal, Punchy.
00:27:08Mr. Chan, this is undoubtedly the most supreme moment of my entire life.
00:27:14If I stand here humbly...
00:27:15Hey, Punchy, you're...
00:27:17Don't interrupt.
00:27:19Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:27:20What are we going to do now, Pop?
00:27:22You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:26What kind of garments is that?
00:27:28Straitjackets.
00:27:29That did it.
00:27:31Punchy, you've been going in for a literature.
00:27:38Your Mr. Thompson in this department has been most kind and helpful.
00:27:42Well, I'm glad, Charlie.
00:27:43We're proud of our staff.
00:27:52Hello.
00:27:53How you come with experiments so far, Mr. Thompson?
00:27:56No luck yet, Mr. Chan.
00:27:58I was afraid it couldn't be done.
00:28:00Well, the forging of fingerprints has been tried before, but it's never worked.
00:28:03However, Mr. Chan's theory of how it might be done has possibilities.
00:28:08I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:15Same thing, no distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:17No oil.
00:28:18That's right, sir.
00:28:19What do you mean, oil?
00:28:20There is always natural oil in hands.
00:28:23And that oil is what causes a fingerprint to remain after the hand touches the surface.
00:28:27I tried using regular fingerprint ink, but the lack of oil caused a blurring of the ink.
00:28:31No one would take that for a fingerprint.
00:28:33Perhaps if we obtain oil more like natural oil.
00:28:36Well, I tried using a thin mixture of olive oil, but the oil ran and smeared, and the result was no fingerprints.
00:28:41Looks like we're up against a stone wall, Charlie.
00:28:44I don't promise anything, but I'm going to keep on trying.
00:28:46No man can do more.
00:28:48I have more work to do yet in your department.
00:28:51Afraid it's no use, Charlie, but what do you want done?
00:28:53Please, have police quietly check back 10 to 15 years on all persons now living at Boss Hotel.
00:29:00Okay, but why?
00:29:01Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:06I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:09You mean you are. You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:11Sure I do. It's something that the police wear.
00:29:13Are you kidding?
00:29:14But, Tommy, this is the last one, Pop.
00:29:18No more.
00:29:19Today is the 14th, and Harley is scheduled to die on the 17th.
00:29:22What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:24Police reports show three banks robbed in the past two years.
00:29:28Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:31Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on family tree.
00:29:34Woodpecker. I've got to remember that.
00:29:37Rawdon Bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:41Lamont Bank robbed, man named Stephen Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:45Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:47And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:50And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:52Also curious coincidence is each man arrested in each case
00:29:58swear he leave no fingerprints in bank because he never there.
00:30:03Do you think Harley was in with the gang, Pop?
00:30:05Oh, he finish school now he try to finish me.
00:30:09But, Pop.
00:30:10Mocho.
00:30:12Also in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:16Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:18Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:22It is only prison where all three men served time.
00:30:25Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:26Yes.
00:30:27But let me make suggestion first.
00:30:30Keep quiet.
00:30:31Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:32But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:35That is idea.
00:30:37Very good idea.
00:30:38I believe there is some connection
00:30:41between bank robberies, fingerprints, and the state's prison.
00:30:45What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:47Oh, for time, my nurse theory.
00:30:51Very excellent theory.
00:30:53But now instead of nurse, I fear theory need undertaker.
00:30:57Hello.
00:31:00For you, Charlie.
00:31:02Charlie Chan speaking.
00:31:04We have that information you asked for.
00:31:06Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:07Yes, go ahead.
00:31:09Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade,
00:31:12a convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau
00:31:15at the state prison.
00:31:16She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:21Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived.
00:31:24And theory, now very healthy again.
00:31:29I see.
00:31:31Another thing, Miss Petrie, why you lie about clothes?
00:31:34I didn't.
00:31:35They were given to me.
00:31:36I learned different.
00:31:37Where you obtain money to buy fine garments?
00:31:40I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:41Please, where you get money?
00:31:44Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:47I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:49You will talk at police headquarters,
00:31:51get your hat and coat.
00:31:52Miss Harley, you go with her.
00:31:56You think she's mixed up in this?
00:31:59We soon find out.
00:32:01Mrs. Foss, why you lie when I ask you
00:32:04if any other convict live in this house?
00:32:06I didn't.
00:32:07Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:08You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:11When young lady bear title miss,
00:32:14she usually have no husband to be her husband.
00:32:18I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:19She's timid and shy.
00:32:22That's June.
00:32:32What happened?
00:32:33Someone choked me.
00:32:34Miss Petrie?
00:32:35I don't know.
00:32:36I don't know who it was.
00:32:38It was someone in that room.
00:32:48Clothing undisturbed?
00:32:54What have you there?
00:32:56Nothing, Pop.
00:32:57Just some old telephone numbers.
00:33:02Name of Carey Theatrical Warehouse
00:33:04appear often in this case.
00:33:06Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:33:07Mr. Kenzie, you will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:11I will try warehouse.
00:33:17Must be a woman driver, Pop.
00:33:19Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:22No license plates.
00:33:33Perhaps Miss Petrie arrived already.
00:33:35Take a look around.
00:33:36Quietly.
00:33:39Now, Birmingham.
00:33:44Well, didn't you hear what Pop said?
00:33:46Sure.
00:33:47You're Pop's son.
00:33:48I'm his son.
00:33:49I'm his son.
00:33:50I'm his son.
00:33:51I'm his son.
00:33:52I'm his son.
00:33:53I'm his son.
00:33:54I'm his son.
00:33:55I'm his son.
00:33:56I'm his son.
00:33:57I'm his son.
00:33:58I'm his son.
00:33:59Well, didn't you hear what Pop said?
00:34:00Sure.
00:34:01Your Pop said, look around quietly.
00:34:03And that's just what I'm going to do.
00:34:04Look around quietly.
00:34:05Right here in the light.
00:34:06See, there ain't no harm to that.
00:34:08Always want to go in the dark.
00:34:09See, I'm going to look right around here in the light.
00:34:12See that?
00:34:13Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:19Tell me.
00:34:20See?
00:34:21Go ahead.
00:34:22Go in the dark and get lost.
00:34:23I don't care.
00:34:24I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:27That ain't real.
00:34:28Oh, boy.
00:34:29Oh, boy, that ain't real.
00:34:30But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me.
00:34:33Be dependable.
00:34:36Hey, Tommy.
00:34:38Tommy!
00:34:39Tommy!
00:34:41You need to hang this.
00:34:42That flute'll warm you up.
00:34:43Wait what?
00:34:44Tommy will be here a minute.
00:34:45What's mean, Tommy?
00:34:46Tommy with a letter.
00:34:47Tommy with a letter, what is it?
00:34:48How can I help you?
00:34:50Speaking of letters, is there a mistake?
00:34:52Not that I'm university-educated.
00:34:53Uh, this is just a send-it for me.
00:34:57You don't see it?
00:34:58No, but he said, what's up?
00:34:59Pick it up, and I'll get the lead.
00:35:00Could you stand down for a second, if I may?
00:35:02Tommy, you didn't tell me your name considered that.
00:35:04That's one name, I didn't tell you.
00:35:06That's an unknown woman's name.
00:35:08Oh boy, oh boy, don't, don't get excited now.
00:35:21He ain't real.
00:35:24He was real.
00:35:26Don't get excited now.
00:35:27He's in the trance, not us.
00:35:28Just stay with me and I'll let you know when to go.
00:35:30Oh boy, now you don't have to worry now.
00:35:31Everything's all right.
00:35:32Just stay with me.
00:35:33I never see, they ought to have a cage or something
00:35:34for them lions around here.
00:35:35This house shorting is terrible.
00:35:36I ain't never, whoa.
00:35:37I heal a monster.
00:35:38This place is getting crowded.
00:35:39Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:40Just over that little bit.
00:35:41Thank you, that's plenty.
00:35:42Oh boy, oh boy, don't, don't get excited now.
00:35:43He's in the trance, not us.
00:35:44Just stay with me and I'll let you know when to go.
00:35:45Oh boy, oh boy, don't, don't get excited now.
00:35:46He's in the trance, not us.
00:35:47Just stay with me and I'll let you know when to go.
00:35:48Oh boy, oh boy, don't, don't get excited now.
00:35:49Hm, a healer monster.
00:35:50This place is getting crowded.
00:35:52Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:54Just over that little bit.
00:35:55Thank you, that's plenty.
00:35:59Oh.
00:36:00I've never seen nothing like this before in my life.
00:36:05Through me, give me my hat.
00:36:09Tommy, is that you got my hat?
00:36:13Tommy, please say yes you got my hat.
00:36:15Oh, yes, you got my hat.
00:36:32It ain't no kidding either.
00:36:36Well, all in this warehouse, you ain't seen.
00:36:39Get together, cause I'm gonna show it to you.
00:36:46Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:49I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:52Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:54Wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:57What is this?
00:36:59Good evening.
00:37:01Well, ain't this nice?
00:37:03Looks all right.
00:37:05Good gracious!
00:37:07Tommy!
00:37:09Tommy!
00:37:10Mr. Doorman!
00:37:12Mr. Doorman!
00:37:13You better open that door.
00:37:14If you don't, you're gonna lose it.
00:37:16Good gracious!
00:37:18Oh, my goodness!
00:37:20Good gracious!
00:37:22Mr. Shad!
00:37:24Good gracious!
00:37:26Oh!
00:37:27Good gracious!
00:37:29Good gracious!
00:37:31Good gracious!
00:37:32Good gracious!
00:37:44Tommy! Tommy!
00:37:45Mr. Shad!
00:37:46Tommy!
00:37:47Good gracious!
00:37:48Tommy!
00:37:49Be quiet. Here I am.
00:37:50Oh, Tommy!
00:37:51How did it happen?
00:37:52How did what happen?
00:37:53You ain't got no clothes on, don't you?
00:37:55Don't you catch cold?
00:37:57Birmingham.
00:37:58Good gracious!
00:37:59Tommy, don't do that without you saying something.
00:38:01Is this you or is this you?
00:38:02Who is you?
00:38:03This is me. Be quiet.
00:38:04Oh, that's you?
00:38:05I just can't help it, Tommy.
00:38:06I'm all upset.
00:38:07Good gracious, I never...
00:38:08I'm nervous.
00:38:09I just got to sit down.
00:38:10I'm telling you, I'm just...
00:38:11Ow!
00:38:12God! A snake!
00:38:13Mr. Shad!
00:38:14Mr. Shad!
00:38:15Please, please.
00:38:17Didn't I tell you to look around quietly?
00:38:20I mean quietly.
00:38:22Go watch door.
00:38:23Yes, sir.
00:38:24That's the best thing I heard you say.
00:39:02Mr. Johnson.
00:39:07Mr. Johnson.
00:39:09Hey, Pop!
00:39:10Hey, Pop!
00:39:11Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:15I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:17Strange you not hear us.
00:39:18My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:20Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:22I have sinus trouble.
00:39:23At times, like tonight,
00:39:25it affects my hearing.
00:39:27I can't hear you.
00:39:28At times, like tonight,
00:39:30it affects my hearing.
00:39:31Makes me slightly deaf.
00:39:33You not hear assistants make noise in warehouse?
00:39:36No, I didn't.
00:39:37I couldn't.
00:39:39I'm very sorry for...
00:39:40I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:43Oh, thank you.
00:39:45If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to finish.
00:39:58Your deafness too convenient, Mr. Johnson.
00:40:01Good idea, huh, Pop?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03Your idea, my dollar.
00:40:05Give.
00:40:07Miss Petrie arrive here yet?
00:40:09Miss Petrie?
00:40:10I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick!
00:40:16Mr. Chan!
00:40:23Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:29That truck just went around and had come back again.
00:40:31Miss Petrie!
00:40:32Hey, look out!
00:40:33Look out!
00:40:45Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:46Call the police.
00:40:47Yes, sir.
00:40:48Here's her purse, Pop.
00:40:49No.
00:40:50Wish only police to examine lady's purse.
00:40:54No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:57Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:41:00Now, I won't say anything.
00:41:02Goodbye.
00:41:05I was right.
00:41:06Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:41:09You mean she was murdered?
00:41:10By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself and assistants.
00:41:14But, Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:16To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:20Mr. Chan?
00:41:21Yes.
00:41:22I thought I recognized these prints.
00:41:23They were in my files.
00:41:24They belong to Louis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:26Louis Mack convict?
00:41:27Where?
00:41:28He served two sentences at state prison.
00:41:31I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:33No, not necessary.
00:41:34Instead, I myself will go to state prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:38What for?
00:41:39To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:44I will telephone you.
00:41:46Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:41:55Four of them?
00:41:56Yes.
00:41:57The cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Holley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:01Was not expecting card on Louis Mack.
00:42:03No, sir.
00:42:04I was expecting card on Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Holley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:08I was expecting card on Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Holley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:12Was not expecting card on Louis Mack today.
00:42:15Why not?
00:42:16I got the cards on Graham Briggs from the dead file,
00:42:19and day after tomorrow, Holley's card goes into that file.
00:42:22Believe Mr. Holley, we'll live longer than you think.
00:42:25You got something, Charlie?
00:42:26Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:29You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints
00:42:33other than those photographed here.
00:42:35Oh, there won't be anybody but mine,
00:42:37and maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:40And mine, perhaps.
00:42:41Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:43Right away.
00:42:44But Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:47Believe same has already been done
00:42:50through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men,
00:42:55Briggs, Gray, and Holley.
00:42:57Gray went out of his head.
00:42:58He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:00Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:02Two months here finished him.
00:43:03I learned both men died protesting innocence.
00:43:06They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rodden
00:43:10not placed there by themselves.
00:43:12And now Mr. Holley says...
00:43:14But Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:18We'll see as soon as Mr. Barker finishes his examination.
00:43:22Okay, okay.
00:43:24This looks okay, huh?
00:43:25Let's sit down.
00:43:26Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble
00:43:28and wait for Miss Chan.
00:43:29Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:31Oh, no.
00:43:32Not again.
00:43:33Hi, boy.
00:43:34Hi, how are you?
00:43:35I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:36Yeah?
00:43:37Yeah, look at you.
00:43:38Is you still in?
00:43:39Is you still out?
00:43:40Oh, sure.
00:43:41Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:43Oh, yeah.
00:43:44I went over and I saw him.
00:43:45You see, nobody introduced him, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:48That's the wrong approach.
00:43:49Yeah?
00:43:50Sure.
00:43:51Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:52I did.
00:43:53And we killed it.
00:43:54No.
00:43:55So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:56I thought the finance company got that.
00:43:57Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:43:59Oh, I see.
00:44:00Say, is he still going...
00:44:01No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:02No.
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:04I thought all the time you were...
00:44:05Oh, she's married.
00:44:06No.
00:44:07Yeah, she married a fella by the name of...
00:44:08He's a nice fella.
00:44:09Oh, he is?
00:44:10He is.
00:44:11Wait a minute.
00:44:12Hmm?
00:44:13Let me tell you something.
00:44:14What's that?
00:44:15You know what I heard?
00:44:16What?
00:44:17I heard...
00:44:18Not until Christmas.
00:44:19No.
00:44:20No.
00:44:21I never did believe that...
00:44:22I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:23No.
00:44:24In fact, I don't believe that he who...
00:44:25Who?
00:44:26Who?
00:44:27Who?
00:44:28Who?
00:44:29I don't believe that he who...
00:44:30He?
00:44:31He.
00:44:32Who?
00:44:33Who's he?
00:44:34Whatchamacallit.
00:44:35Oh, him.
00:44:36Sure.
00:44:37Oh, I didn't know you was talking about.
00:44:38No?
00:44:39No.
00:44:40I never did know him.
00:44:41I don't know him myself.
00:44:42We've been strangers for years.
00:44:43Yeah?
00:44:44You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:45What?
00:44:46That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:47Yeah?
00:44:48Because me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:49We sure do, don't we?
00:44:50Yeah.
00:44:51You sure you're all right, Parker?
00:44:53Absolutely.
00:44:54Our file cards have been tampered with.
00:44:55This one has been wiped clean.
00:44:57And this one...
00:44:58That's Louis Mack's card.
00:44:59Yes, sir.
00:45:00And on it are a thumb and index print
00:45:02made by someone not in this prison.
00:45:04Preserve this card.
00:45:06It is proof that someone tried to falsely accuse
00:45:09Louis Mack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:45:11When Kenzie gets back here with Slade,
00:45:12I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:45:13If I have to make...
00:45:14Warden, the guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:16He must know why we want him.
00:45:18Well, I'll find him.
00:45:19I'll call a general lockup.
00:45:23Gavin!
00:45:24Uh-oh.
00:45:25Gotta go.
00:45:26Can't be late in this school.
00:45:27No.
00:45:28Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:29Be good.
00:45:30Sure are a lot of bells.
00:45:31Yeah, I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:33I don't know.
00:45:34Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:35This is one we're going to stay out of.
00:45:37That's the best thing that I heard you say yet.
00:45:39Look, let's play jankenpon.
00:45:40Jankenpon?
00:45:41Yo-i-san.
00:45:42Yo-i-san?
00:45:43Yeah.
00:45:44OK.
00:45:45Yo-i-san.
00:45:46Yo-i-san.
00:45:47I got you that time.
00:45:55Yo-i-san.
00:45:56Oh, no.
00:45:57Yo-i-san.
00:46:02What a lot of sirens.
00:46:03Yeah, but we're going to stay right here.
00:46:11Sergeant!
00:46:13Slade missing?
00:46:14Yes, sir.
00:46:15We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:17Warden, guards have located Slade.
00:46:18He's heading for the bailing shed.
00:46:19Come on.
00:46:24We better go and find Pop, huh?
00:46:50Let's do that.
00:46:51Let's find Pop.
00:47:22Watch out, Warden, he's up on the bale.
00:47:34Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:35Slade, you better give up.
00:47:36You haven't got a chance.
00:47:37Yeah?
00:47:38Come and get me.
00:47:39He's hit.
00:47:54He still may be able to talk.
00:48:13You're not going to make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:20Slade is dead.
00:48:29Just as well for him.
00:48:34Gun barrel plugged.
00:48:35Gun explode.
00:48:36He killed South.
00:48:37Hiya, Pop.
00:48:38Did something happen?
00:48:39A dead man.
00:48:40I guess something did happen.
00:48:41Yeah, we better go before something happens.
00:48:42It is too bad.
00:48:51Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:56But if there was something wrong.
00:48:58State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:49:00At present, I have no proof at all.
00:49:02You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:49:05Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:49:08What do you want now?
00:49:09Your fingerprints, please.
00:49:12I'm looking for a murderer.
00:49:14Well, that lets me out.
00:49:15One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:17I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:19Look, mister, I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:21Have you got a warrant?
00:49:22No, but...
00:49:23Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:25No.
00:49:26Okay, then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:30Excuse, please.
00:49:32So you work for the government, who doesn't these days?
00:49:37You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:39Okay, toots, when you get a warrant, give me a buzz.
00:49:42Ta-ta.
00:49:45Miss Evans, too smart for her own good.
00:49:48I have her fingerprints now.
00:49:50Here.
00:49:52I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:55Everyone else is out.
00:49:56No matter.
00:49:57This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:02We go upstairs, please.
00:50:09You two not afraid?
00:50:11Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:12That you sit down so often, you get concussion of brain.
00:50:16Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:17Good.
00:50:18Save it for old age.
00:50:22Look, I'll save one for me, too.
00:50:32Any luck?
00:50:34Not yet, sir.
00:50:35Has anything been heard from Foss Hotel yet?
00:50:38Nothing.
00:50:39The prints on Louis Mack's prison card were those of Johnson,
00:50:41but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:43Excuse, please.
00:50:50Hello.
00:50:51Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:53No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:56Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away
00:50:57on one of his regular trips.
00:51:00But I'm worried, it's getting...
00:51:01Please, please, you must not worry.
00:51:03Everything now in lap of God's.
00:51:05Very soon, I give very hearty shove.
00:51:08Perhaps, too, fall off of laps.
00:51:11Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:14As you suggested, I photographed and engraved
00:51:16a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:19Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:20But when pressed against an object,
00:51:22they still leave no print mark.
00:51:23That's right.
00:51:24A lack of oil, huh?
00:51:26I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:29And if this test doesn't work,
00:51:30I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:32No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:38This is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:49Now, if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:52:03Now, those are forged fingerprints.
00:52:05But any expert, not knowing what we did,
00:52:07could swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:08Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:09No, no.
00:52:10We make successful experiment.
00:52:12But this is no proof that Mr. Harley
00:52:15was convicted through forgery.
00:52:17But, Pop, if the detective at the false hotel
00:52:19arrests Johnson...
00:52:20I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:23This engraving and photography on rubber,
00:52:26you do all of that here?
00:52:28No, sir.
00:52:29I use an engraving plant.
00:52:30I had to have cameras, engraving tools,
00:52:31and several vats for the acid.
00:52:33Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:36No, sir.
00:52:37They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:38Large place.
00:52:39Large...
00:52:40You remain here and try contact governor of state.
00:52:45If detectives at false hotel arrest Mr. Johnson,
00:52:49telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:50Cary's?
00:52:51What are you going out there for?
00:52:52To try and prove Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged
00:52:56exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:58Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:53:00Very fine job.
00:53:01You know, Pop, believe it or not,
00:53:03that's the same idea I had.
00:53:06Tommy, now I've heard everything.
00:53:14Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:53:16Shrewd observation.
00:53:17This is truck which killed Miss Petrie.
00:53:19Look inside.
00:53:21Four big cameras.
00:53:23Hey, what are them tubs doing in there?
00:53:25That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:28You two remain here on watch.
00:53:30If I call, come quickly.
00:53:32Yes, sir.
00:53:35You know, I think Pop's got someone.
00:53:37There must be some clues around here.
00:53:39Let us do some investigating on our own.
00:53:41Come on.
00:53:42Let us you go and let us me stay here.
00:53:44I'm going to wait right here.
00:53:45You always talk about let us do some investigating.
00:53:48Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:51It's safer.
00:54:05Did you see the picture?
00:54:06I did.
00:54:07It must have fallenæž—
00:54:10I've got the picture.
00:54:11Did you mean the puddle?
00:54:13Sure.
00:54:14No, no, I was happy to see you.
00:54:15Come on, we're all friends.
00:54:20We had an awful rough day one night.
00:54:23You're very bright.
00:54:24You came out with flowers, and I appreciate it.
00:54:29What do you want from me?
00:54:31Grass.
00:54:33Are you done talking?
00:54:34♪
00:54:57I wonder where Pop is.

00:55:07He'll be here in no time.
00:55:09Let the boys get some rest.
00:55:10Come on now, let's go.

00:55:31♪
00:55:59Now is the time.
00:56:03Oh, my goodness. It can't be.
00:56:05I know it ain't true. Don't know how about to believe it.
00:56:08I don't believe it.
00:56:09Boss, you told me.
00:56:11♪
00:56:13I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:15Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:56:16Look, in the truck. I got an idea.
00:56:18Good idea.
00:56:19♪
00:56:22Good idea, Tom.
00:56:23♪
00:56:26That's right, Tom. Back it out.
00:56:28Right straight through that door.
00:56:29♪
00:56:31I'm going to run down that killer.
00:56:32That's what we'll do. What?
00:56:33♪
00:56:36Get him, Tommy.
00:56:38Don't miss him, Tommy.
00:56:39♪
00:56:44I'll get him.
00:56:45What am I saying?
00:56:47Good gracious of me.
00:56:48♪
00:56:55You are traveling salesmen.
00:56:57This time, no sale.
00:57:00Assistants do very fine job.
00:57:02Thanks, Pop.
00:57:03Yeah, you put murderer right in my hands.
00:57:08I guess we're pretty good, huh?
00:57:09Yay!
00:57:11But how do we do it?
00:57:16♪
00:57:18Hello.
00:57:19Charlie, where have you been?
00:57:22Yes, I'll send the police right over.
00:57:23We'll be only a couple of hours. What about Harley?
00:57:26Yes, uh, Mr. Morgan, please telephone warden.
00:57:29I have complete evidence to exonerate Mr. Harley.
00:57:32When police arrive, we'll drive to prison.
00:57:35Pick you up on way.
00:57:37Okay.
00:57:39Fast-talking salesman, unusually quiet.
00:57:42I'll talk plenty.
00:57:43You killed Mr. Johnson to prevent him from talking.
00:57:47This way, please.
00:57:51So, that is why I slightly detained last night.
00:57:55Mr. Harley, you'll be out of here
00:57:56the moment the state's attorney's papers arrive.
00:57:58Oh, Dan.
00:57:59Everything's all right, June.
00:58:01Your dad's free.
00:58:02Oh, you were wonderful to us, Hugh.
00:58:03Well, it's over.
00:58:04I'm glad you settled it, Charlie.
00:58:06Oh, case not settled yet.
00:58:08Why, wasn't Danvers the guilty man?
00:58:10Convict Slade is one who steal fingerprint cards
00:58:13from prison files.
00:58:14And he sent them to Johnson,
00:58:15who photographed and engraved them on rubber.
00:58:17And Danvers cased each bank before the robberies.
00:58:20But all work for third man who is missing,
00:58:22man responsible for most of crimes.
00:58:25How was Slade able to get fingerprint cards
00:58:28out of prison and back again so easily?
00:58:32Good question, warden.
00:58:35It is.
00:58:37You got any more?
00:58:38Yes. Who gives Slade gun?
00:58:40Who fixed gun so it'd explode when fired
00:58:43and murder Slade?
00:58:45Man who do all these things is third missing man.
00:58:49Must be someone inside prison.
00:58:52Correct, warden?
00:58:55You may be right.
00:58:56Many contemptible persons in prison.
00:58:59But worst of all is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:59:04You're accusing me?
00:59:05My suspicions confirmed after talk with Mr. Danvers.
00:59:08We got you covered.
00:59:12Thank you, Charlie.
00:59:13Excellent.
00:59:14Excellent.
00:59:16You will put weapons back in pockets.
00:59:19I guess we are good, huh?
00:59:20I don't know how we did it that time.
00:59:23Charlie, I at least thought Kenzie loved you.
00:59:26Oh, he egomaniac.
00:59:28He think only of self.
00:59:30He want money, so he steal it.
00:59:33He try to get rid of you because you oppose
00:59:36daughter's marriage to him.
00:59:37How did you find that out?
00:59:39I told him.
00:59:40I talked with chorus girl, Miss Evans.
00:59:42Well, Charlie, next time you're in town,
00:59:44drop in and see us.
00:59:46See us?
00:59:47Oh.
00:59:48Oh.
00:59:52We sure fooled them, didn't we?
00:59:53Yeah, your pops sure got a great sense of humor.
00:59:56You should know that by now.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:58Well, Birmingham Brown.
01:00:01Oh, no.
01:00:02This is too much.
01:00:03Well, hello there, Benjamin.
01:00:05Hello, Birmingham.
01:00:07Do you know you owe me?
01:00:08I don't owe you nothing.

01:00:20No, no, no.
01:00:21Birmingham not do that.
01:00:23He go see landlady, and she tell him.

01:00:36Oh, yeah.
01:00:37I met him last time, you know.
01:00:38That's right, Mr. Chan.
01:00:39That's the time that I took it over.
01:00:40Took what over to where?
01:00:41Oh, to check to the tailor.
01:00:42Oh, that's what after that suit I never got to wear.
01:00:44Yeah.
01:00:45Birmingham go out in rain.
01:00:46Suit shrink.
01:00:47Tailor refuse same.
01:00:48So Birmingham must pay for suit.
01:00:50Well, where's the suit now?
01:00:52It's still shrinking.
01:00:53My little nephew got on his teddy bear.
01:00:55You know, that's why I like meet you boys.
01:00:57We understand each other so well.
01:00:59Y'all know that one, Mr. Chan.
01:01:03Oh, Mr. Chan, he killed me.
01:01:06Pop, I don't get it.
01:01:07I never get that kind of a talk.
01:01:09How do you do it?
01:01:10You are familiar with pigeon English?
01:01:12Oh, sure.
01:01:13Same difference.
