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 tooth.
00:07:47We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:49Excellent, excellent.
00:07:50It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:53Thank you, Pop, thank you.
00:07:54Car okay?
00:07:55Oh, yes, all oil and grease.
00:07:56Yes, and the tank full of gas.
00:07:58Good.
00:07:59Now we will go back to hotel.
00:08:01What for?
00:08:02To unpack baggage.
00:08:06I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:13Now, 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.
00:08:19Yep.
00:08:20Then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:21It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:23Yeah.
00:08:24You 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 seat of 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.
00:09:12Good 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.
00:09:23Oh, this 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,
00:09:47do not think of future, it 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.
00:10:21Sitting assistants.
00:10:23Please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:26Okay, Pop.
00:10:27Boy, a murder case.
00:10:28Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:29Hurry?
00:10:30Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:32Why can not you just go down to one?
00:10:35I've never seen anyone.
00:10:36Every time they start, they have to hurry to a murder.
00:10:42I told you, that's all I know.
00:10:44Very sorry, but emergency of case return.
00:10:47Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:52Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:54Ugliest trade sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:58Even grave digger know some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:04I'm sorry I said that, it just slipped out.
00:11:06Many such slip might solve mystery.
00:11:09Please continue.
00:11:10That's all I have to say.
00:11:12That's what woman always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:17You are social worker?
00:11:19Yes.
00:11:21You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:26Often, what's wrong with that?
00:11:28Nothing, very fine civic duty.
00:11:31Mr. Harley live in this house for 15 years.
00:11:34So, you must have known he was ex-convict when he first enter this house.
00:11:39I did, I 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 carry 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.
00:12:13Thank you so much.
00:12:15Mr. Kinsey, you will please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:20You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:23No, I have not.
00:12:31You work for social foundation, Mrs. Patrick?
00:12:35Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:37Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to carry theatrical warehouse.
00:12:42Was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:45Oh, go on, leave her alone, mister.
00:12:47She uses a sequin sock system, I've seen her practicing.
00:12:50On Mrs. Foss' typewriter?
00:12:53You make much money as typist?
00:12:55No?
00:12:56Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:12:59Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:04Mr. Johnson, you are a public accountant?
00:13:07Yes.
00:13:08You have own business?
00:13:09Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:13One of your business firms is Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:13:18But the police knew that.
00:13:20They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place,
00:13:22I was across the city working for another company.
00:13:25I was in the Cary warehouse.
00:13:27I was in the Cary warehouse.
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?
00:14:06Yes, sir. It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:09With your knowledge of banks,
00:14:11could you not be a very great assistance to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:16Now, wait a minute.
00:14:17If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:19Merely suggest what you could do if dishonest.
00:14:26Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:28Listen, I buy my own clothes. Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:32Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat, I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:37During an investigation of Cary warehouse,
00:14:41a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:43Huh? A dress of mine?
00:14:45Very small dress, consisting of few feathers.
00:14:49Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:51Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:55But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:57I wore that costume in frivolous follies.
00:15:00But the show finally flopped.
00:15:02Cary's must have bought the props, scenery, and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:05But your show plays cities of Lamont and Rodden
00:15:09at same time banks were robbed there
00:15:11in identical manner which cities and state bank robbed here.
00:15:15Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:17No, merely at moment trying to figure
00:15:20how 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 and tell him we're doing everything possible.
00:15:43I 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?
00:15:52Mr. Chan?
00:16:00Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:16:04This is my house and I'll do as I like.
00:16:08Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help,
00:16:10I'll get a leave of absence from my job and come down here.
00:16:12No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:14Miss Harley is right. You return to job.
00:16:16I send for you when I need you.
00:16:18Mr. Chan, I'm scared. We only have nine days.
00:16:20Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:22Excellent advice.
00:16:24Remember old saying, earthquake may shatter the rock,
00:16:27but sand upon which rock stood,
00:16:29still right there in same old place.
00:16:32You relax and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:41Mr. Chan, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:44No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:47We'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:50You surprised yourself, huh?
00:16:52Usually you surprise me.
00:17:01Did you see that B come through here with that jet job motor?
00:17:06Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:07Where's Birmingham? The car's going by itself.
00:17:09No, it ain't. I 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 are people living at Foss Hotel.
00:17:16This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:43I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:45I think...
00:17:46As old friend Warden Cameron, you think what?
00:17:49You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:51I mean it.
00:17:52You haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:54But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:56What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:17:59Oh, I know how you feel, but I still think you're being foolish.
00:18:02Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:18:05Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:08Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:11Oh, this is Guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:13Oh, I've already met Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:15Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:17Okay.
00:18:18He should get resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:21He'll sit in.
00:18:23Sit again.
00:18:24Remain where you are.
00:18:26Oh, Warden.
00:18:29Mr. Barker wanted the print files on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:33Oh, yes. In my office.
00:18:35Go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:36One moment.
00:18:37I have seen you before?
00:18:39I don't know, but I've seen you.
00:18:42You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:43And you are...
00:18:44Number 8251.
00:18:48He's Jimmy Slade, a forger.
00:18:50He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:53Did you see that man give Pop the eye?
00:18:55You mean that tough guy?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57Oh, you mean the convict?
00:18:58Mm-hmm.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:19:01Well, look at old Bishop.
00:19:05What do you say, boy?
00:19:06Not much.
00:19:07Man, it's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:09Yeah, 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, but 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.
00:25:47I'll get there.
00:25:53Cameron, what's up?
00:25:54A riot.
00:25:55What started the rioting?
00:25:57Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:02What strangers?
00:26:04Mr. Champ. Mr. Champ.
00:26:05Oh. Oh. Which way? Which way?
00:26:08Cell Block 4.
00:26:13Mr. Champ...
00:26:15We can't get up there.
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!
00:34:40Hey, Tommy.
00:34:42Tommy!
00:34:44Tommy!
00:34:45Don't go.
00:34:46Don't go.
00:34:47You're not going.
00:34:48Tommy.
00:34:49Tommy.
00:34:50Tommy, I'm talking to you.
00:34:51No, don't go.
00:34:52I'm not going.
00:34:53I'm not going.
00:34:54I'm not going.
00:34:55No, get out of here.
00:34:56Go on.
00:34:57Go on.
00:34:58Go on.
00:34:59Go and get lost.
00:35:00Tommy, you better be able to get lost.
00:35:01Go on.
00:35:02Go and get lost.
00:35:03Go on.
00:35:04Go on.
00:35:05Go on.
00:35:06Go on.
00:35:07Go on.
00:35:08Go on.
00:35:09Oh boy, oh boy, don't, don't get excited now.
00:35:23He 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.
00:35:29Never heard us an old one.
00:35:30Now you don't have to worry.
00:35:31Everything's all right.
00:35:32Just stay with me.
00:35:33I never see.
00:35:34They ought to have a cage or something
00:35:35for them lions around here.
00:35:36This house shorting is terrible.
00:35:37I ain't never.
00:35:38Whoa.
00:35:39I heal a monster.
00:35:40This place is getting crowded.
00:35:41Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:42Just over that little bit.
00:35:44That's plenty.
00:35:45Uh-oh.
00:35:46Uh-oh.
00:35:47Uh-oh.
00:35:48Uh-oh.

00:36:08Tommy, is that you got in my hat?
00:36:12Tommy, please say yes.
00:36:14You got in my hat.
00:36:30It ain't no kiddin' either.
00:36:34Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen, get together,
00:36:38cause I'm gonna show it to ya.
00:36:45Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:48I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:50Now ain't this all right?
00:36:52Wish I could've found this place a long time ago.
00:36:55What is this?
00:36:57What is this?
00:36:59Well, good evening.
00:37:01Well, ain't this nice?
00:37:03Looks all right.
00:37:12Good gracious!
00:37:14Tommy! Tommy!
00:37:16Mr. Doorman!
00:37:18Mr. Doorman!
00:37:20You better open that door. If you don't, you're gonna lose it.
00:37:22Good gracious!
00:37:24Oh, my goodness!
00:37:26Good gracious!
00:37:28Mr. Chan!
00:37:32Good gracious!
00:37:44Tommy! Tommy! Mr. Chan!
00:37:46Tommy! Good gracious! Mr. Chan!
00:37:48Be quiet. Here I am.
00:37:50Oh, Tommy! How did it happen?
00:37:52How did what happen?
00:37:54You got no clothes on, don't you? Don't you catch cold?
00:37:57Birmingham.
00:37:59Tommy, don't do that without you say something.
00:38:01Hey, is this you or is this you? Who is you?
00:38:03This is me. Be quiet.
00:38:05Oh, that's you? I just can't help it, Tommy. I'm all upset.
00:38:07Good gracious, I never... I'm nervous.
00:38:09I just got to sit down. I'm telling you, I'm just...
00:38:11Ow! God! A snake!
00:38:13Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
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.
00:38:24Yes, sir. That's the best thing I heard you say.
00:38:52Mr. Johnson.
00:39:06Mr. Johnson.
00:39:08Hey, Pop! Hey, Pop!
00:39:10Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:12I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:16Strange you not to have come in.
00:39:19I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:21Strange you not hear us. My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:24Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:26I have sinus trouble.
00:39:28At times, like tonight, it 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. I couldn't.
00:39:38I'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?
00:40:03Your idea, my dollar. Give.
00:40:07Miss Petrie arrive here yet?
00:40:09Miss Petrie? I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick! Mr. Chan!
00:40:23Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:29That truck just went around and here come back again.
00:40:31Miss Petrie! Hey, look out!
00:40:43Miss Petrie is dead. Call the police.
00:40:45Yes, sir. Here's her purse, Pop.
00:40:47No. Wish only police to examine lady's purse.
00:40:52No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:55Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:40:58Now, I won't say anything.
00:41:00Goodbye.
00:41:02I was right.
00:41:04Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:41:07You mean she was murdered?
00:41:09By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself for assistance.
00:41:12But, Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:14To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:18Mr. Chan? Yes.
00:41:20I thought I recognized these prints. They were in my files.
00:41:22They belong to Louis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:24Louis Mack convict? Where?
00:41:26He served two sentences at state prison.
00:41:29I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:31No, not necessary.
00:41:33Instead, I myself will go to state's prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:37What for?
00:41:39To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:43I will telephone you.
00:41:56Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:42:07Four of them?
00:42:09Yes, the cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Harley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:13We're not expecting card on Louis Mack today.
00:42:16Why not?
00:42:18I got the cards on Gray and Briggs from the dead file.
00:42:20And day after tomorrow, Harley's card goes into that file.
00:42:23Believe Mr. Harley, we live longer than you think.
00:42:26You got something, Charlie?
00:42:28Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:30You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints
00:42:34other than those photographed here.
00:42:36Oh, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:38And maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:41And mine, perhaps.
00:42:43Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:45Right away.
00:42:46But Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:49Believe same has already been done
00:42:51through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:56Briggs, Gray, and Harley.
00:42:58Gray went out of his head. He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:01And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:03Two months here finished him.
00:43:05I learned both men died protesting innocence.
00:43:08They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rodden
00:43:12not placed there by themselves.
00:43:14And now Mr. Harley says...
00:43:16But Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:20We'll see as soon as Mr. Barker finishes his examination.
00:43:24Okay, okay. This looks okay, huh?
00:43:27Let's sit down.
00:43:28Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble
00:43:30and wait for Miss Chan.
00:43:31Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:33Oh, no. Not again.
00:43:35Well, look at old Bidgen.
00:43:38Hi, boy.
00:43:39Hi, how are you?
00:43:40I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:41Yeah?
00:43:42Yeah, look at you. Is you still in?
00:43:43Is you still out?
00:43:44Oh, sure.
00:43:45Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:47Oh, yeah. I went over and I saw him.
00:43:49You see, nobody introduced him, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:52That's the wrong approach.
00:43:53Yeah?
00:43:54Sure. Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:55I did. And we killed it.
00:43:57No.
00:43:58So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:59I thought the finance company got that.
00:44:00Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:44:02Oh, I see.
00:44:03Say, is he still going...
00:44:04No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:06No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08I thought all the time you...
00:44:09Oh, she's married.
00:44:10No.
00:44:11Yeah, she married a fella by the name of...
00:44:13He's a nice fella.
00:44:14Oh, he is?
00:44:15He is.
00:44:16Wait a minute.
00:44:17Hmm?
00:44:18Let me tell you something.
00:44:19What's that?
00:44:20You know what I heard?
00:44:21What?
00:44:22I heard...
00:44:23Not until Christmas.
00:44:24No?
00:44:25No. I never did believe that...
00:44:26I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:28No?
00:44:29In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:30Who?
00:44:31He.
00:44:32He? Who's he?
00:44:33Whatchamacallit.
00:44:34Oh, him!
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:36Oh, I didn't know you was talking about.
00:44:37No?
00:44:38No. I never did know him.
00:44:39I don't know him myself.
00:44:40We've been strangers for years.
00:44:41Yeah?
00:44:42You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:43What?
00:44:44That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:45Yeah?
00:44:46Because me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:47We sure do, don't we?
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:51You sure you're all right, Parker?
00:44:52Absolutely.
00:44:53Our 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.
00:45:23Damn it!
00:45:27Uh-oh.
00:45:28Gotta go.
00:45:29Can't be late in this school.
00:45:30No.
00:45:31Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:32Be good.
00:45:33Sure a lot of bells.
00:45:34Yeah.
00:45:35I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:36I don't know.
00:45:37Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:38This is one we're going to stay out of.
00:45:39That's the best thing that I heard you say yet.
00:45:41Look, let's play jankenpon.
00:45:42Jankenpon?
00:45:43Yo-i-zo.
00:45:44Yo-i-zo?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:46OK.
00:45:47Yo-i-zo.
00:45:48Yo-i-zo.
00:45:49I got you that time.
00:45:58Yo-i-zo.
00:45:59Oh, no.
00:46:00Yo-i-zo.
00:46:04A lot of sirens.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06But we're going to stay right here.
00:46:13Sergeant!
00:46:15Slade missing?
00:46:16Yes, sir.
00:46:17We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:18Warden, the guards have located Slade.
00:46:20He's heading for the bailing shed.
00:46:21Come on.
00:46:27Yo-i-zo.
00:46:33Yo-i-zo...
00:46:39...the sirens stopped.
00:46:40Yeah.
00:46:41We'd better go and find Pop.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:43Yeah.
00:46:44Where's Breen?
00:46:45Let's find Pop.
00:46:46Come on.
00:46:47We better go and find Pop.
00:46:48Yeah, let's do that.
00:46:49Let's find Pop.
00:46:50Come on.
00:47:17Watch 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?
00:49:04Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:49:08What do you want now?
00:49:09Your fingerprints, please.
00:49:11Why?
00:49:12I'm looking for a murderer.
00:49:13Well, that lets me out.
00:49:15One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:17I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:19Look, mister.
00:49:20I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:21Have you got a warrant?
00:49:23No, but, uh...
00:49:24Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:26No.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:30Excuse, please.
00:49:33So you work for the government, who doesn't these days?
00:49:37You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:39Okay, toots.
00:49:40Can you get a warrant?
00:49:41Give me a buzz.
00:49:42Ta-ta.
00:49:45Miss Evans, too smart for her own good.
00:49:48I have her fingerprints now, here.
00:49:52I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:55Everyone else is out.
00:49:57No matter.
00:49:58This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:02We go upstairs, please.
00:50:04You two not afraid?
00:50:06Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:08That you sit down so often, you get concussion of brain.
00:50:11Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:13Good.
00:50:14Save it for old age.
00:50:15Look, I'll save one for me, too.
00:50:27Any luck?
00:50:28No.
00:50:29Well, I'm afraid not.
00:50:33Any 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,
00:50:42but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:44Excuse, 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 on one of his regular trips.
00:51:00But I'm worried.
00:51:01It's getting...
00:51:02Oh, please, you must not worry.
00:51:04Everything now in lap of God's.
00:51:06Very soon, I give very hearty shove.
00:51:08Perhaps clue fall off of lax.
00:51:11Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:14As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:18Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:20But when pressed against an object, they 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.
00:51:29It doesn't work.
00:51:30I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:32No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:37Now, this is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:48Now, if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:51:59Now, those are forged fingerprints.
00:52:01But any expert, not knowing what we did, would swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:04Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:05No, no.
00:52:06We make successful experiment.
00:52:08But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:52:12But, Pop, if the detective at the false hotel arrest Johnson...
00:52:15I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:18This engraving and photography on rubber, you do all of that here?
00:52:23No, sir.
00:52:24I use an engraving plant.
00:52:27I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:30Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:33No, sir.
00:52:34They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:36Large place.
00:52:37Large place.
00:52:38You remain here and try contact governor of state.
00:52:41If detectives at false hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:47Cary's?
00:52:48What are you going out there for?
00:52:49To try and prove Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged exactly in the same place.
00:52:55His fingerprints forged exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:58Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:52:59Very fine job.
00:53:01You know, Pop, believe it or not, that's the same idea I had.
00:53:07Tommy, now I've heard everything.
00:53:15Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:53:17Shrewd observation.
00:53:18This is truck which killed Miss Petrie.
00:53:20Look inside.
00:53:23Four big cameras.
00:53:24Hey, what are them tubs doing in there?
00:53:26That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:29You two remain here on watch.
00:53:31If I call, come quickly.
00:53:33Yes, sir.
00:53:36You know, I think Pop's got someone.
00:53:38There 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're always talking about let us do some investigating.
00:53:48Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:51It's safer.
00:53:54You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:56It's safer.
00:53:57You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:58It's safer.
00:53:59You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:00It's safer.
00:54:01You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:02It's safer.
00:54:03You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:04It's safer.
00:54:05You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:06It's safer.
00:54:07You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:08It's safer.
00:54:09You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:10It's safer.
00:54:11You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:12It's safer.
00:54:13You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:14It's safer.
00:54:15You know, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:54:16It's safer.
00:54:18Birmingham!
00:54:19It's me.
00:54:47I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:58Hey, Pop!
00:54:59Hey, Pop!
00:55:00Uh-uh.
00:55:01No, I know you ain't real.
00:55:02Couldn't be real.
00:55:03Uh-uh.
00:55:04Oh, boy.
00:55:05Not now.
00:55:06But when I ask you to make your entrance, I'll do it.
00:55:07Uh-uh.
00:55:08Uh-uh.
00:55:09Uh-uh.
00:55:10Uh-uh.
00:55:11Uh-uh.
00:55:12Uh-uh.
00:55:13Uh-uh.

00:56:03Oh my goodness.
00:56:04It can't be.
00:56:05I know it ain't true.
00:56:06Don't nobody believe it.
00:56:07I don't believe it.
00:56:09Boss, you told me.
00:56:13I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:14Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:56:16Look, in the truck.
00:56:17I got an idea.
00:56:18Good idea.
00:56:21Good idea, Tommy.
00:56:26That's right, Tommy.
00:56:27Back it out.
00:56:28Right straight through that door.
00:56:31We're going to run down that killer.
00:56:32That's what we'll do.
00:56:33What?
00:56:36Get in, Tommy.
00:56:38Don't miss him, Tommy.
00:56:45What am I saying?
00:56:46Good.
00:56:47Patience for me.
00:56:55You are a traveling salesman.
00:56:57This time, no sale.
00:57:00Assistants do a very fine job.
00:57:02Thanks, Pop.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:04You put murderer right in my hands.
00:57:07I guess we're pretty good, huh?
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:10But how do we do it?
00:57:17Hello.
00:57:19Charlie, where have you been?
00:57:21Yes, I'll send the police right over.
00:57:23It'll be only a couple of hours.
00:57:24What about Harley?
00:57:25Yes, sir.
00:57:26Mr. Morgan, please telephone Warden.
00:57:28I have complete evidence to exonerate Mr. Harley.
00:57:32When police arrive, we'll drive to prison.
00:57:34Pick you up on way.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:38Fast-talking salesman, unusually quiet.
00:57:40I'll talk plenty.
00:57:42You killed Mr. Johnson to prevent him from talking.
00:57:46This way, please.
00:57:50So, that is why I slightly detained last night.
00:57:53Mr. Harley, you'll be out of here the moment the state's attorney's papers arrive.
00:57:56Oh, Dad.
00:57:57Everything's all right, June.
00:57:59Your dad's free.
00:58:00Oh, you were wonderful to us, Hugh.
00:58:02Well, it's over.
00:58:03I'm glad you settled in.
00:58:04I'm glad you settled it, Charlie.
00:58:05Oh, case not settled yet.
00:58:07Why, wasn't Danvers the guilty man?
00:58:09Convict Slade is one who steal fingerprint cards from prison files.
00:58:13And he sent them to Johnson, who photographed and engraved them on rubber.
00:58:16And Danvers cased each bank before the robberies.
00:58:19But all work for third man who is missing.
00:58:21Man responsible for most of crimes.
00:58:24How was Slade able to get fingerprint cards out of prison and back again so easily?
00:58:31Good question, Warden.
00:58:32It is.
00:58:35You got any more?
00:58:36Yes.
00:58:37Who gives Slade gun?
00:58:38Who fixed gun so it explode when fired and murder Slade?
00:58:43Man who do all these things is third missing man.
00:58:47Must be someone inside prison.
00:58:50Correct, Warden?
00:58:53You may be right.
00:58:54Many contemptible persons in prison.
00:58:57But worst of all is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:59:00Is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:59:03You're accusing me?
00:59:04My suspicions confirmed after talk with Mr. Danvers.
00:59:08We got your cover.
00:59:11Thank you, Charlie.
00:59:17Excellent, excellent.
00:59:20You will put weapons back in pockets.
00:59:22I guess we are good, huh?
00:59:24I don't know how we did at that time.
00:59:26Charlie, I at least thought Kenzie loved you.
00:59:29Oh, he egomaniac.
00:59:31He think only of self.
00:59:33He want money so he steal it.
00:59:36He try to get rid of you because you oppose daughter's marriage to him.
00:59:40How did you find that out?
00:59:41I talk with chorus girl, Miss Evans.
00:59:44Well, Charlie, next time you're in town, drop in and see us.
00:59:48See us?
00:59:50Oh.
00:59:51Oh.
00:59:55We sure fooled them, didn't we?
00:59:56Yeah, your pop sure got a great sense of humor.
00:59:59You should know that by now.
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01Well, Birmingham Brown.
01:00:04Oh, no, this is too much.
01:00:06Well, hello there, Benjamin.
01:00:08Hello, Birmingham.
01:00:10Yeah, I just been figuring.
01:00:11Do you know you owe me...
01:00:12I don't owe you nothing.
01:00:14All I owe you is...
01:00:15Oh, no.
01:00:16You forgetting the time that...
01:00:17Nine.
01:00:18Do you know I had to spend around...
01:00:20You ain't ever spent that much in your life.
01:00:22Look, my uncle wrote and told me that...
01:00:24No, no, no.
01:00:25Birmingham not do that.
01:00:27He go see landlady and she tell him...
01:00:29She lied.
01:00:30I don't know her scent.
01:00:32Listen, Mr. Chan.
01:00:33Did you know her...
01:00:34Yeah, I met him last time, you know.
01:00:36That's right, Mr. Chan.
01:00:37That's the time that I took it over to...
01:00:38Took what over to where?
01:00:40Oh, to check to the tailor.
01:00:41Oh, that's what after that suit I never got to wear.
01:00:44Yeah, Birmingham go out and 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?
01:00:51It's still shrinking.
01:00:52My little nephew got on his teddy bear.
01:00:54You know, that's why I like meet you boys.
01:00:56We understand each other so well.
01:01:02Oh, Mr. Chan, he killed me.
01:01:04Pop, I don't get it.
01:01:05I never get that kind of a talk.
01:01:07How do you do it?
01:01:08You are familiar with pigeon English?
01:01:11Oh, sure.
01:01:12Same difference.
01:01:22THE END
