00:04:33electrical warehouse. Locked up? How? I don't know. I got in all right, but there's nobody there.
00:04:38I started out, but the only door was locked. For four hours? You could have telephoned.
00:04:43I tried to use the telephone, but it was out of order. I can prove what I say. Read this.
00:04:56No good, Harley. Get Dave Wyatt. He can prove my innocence. We can't get Wyatt.
00:05:00He's been dead eight years. Wyatt dead? Yeah. When did you know him?
00:05:06When you were both convicts in state prison 20 years ago? Dad.
00:05:11Tell them you were never in prison. It'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.
00:05:30I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie. But you never stay long enough.
00:05:34Oh, they come to say goodbye. Government work keep me hopping like dissatisfied flea from dog to dog.
00:05:40Even now, automobile and assistance outside loaded for trip to distant city.
00:05:56Automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:05:58Uh, automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:06:01Tony, Dad's final appeal has been denied.
00:06:04Why didn't you tell me?
00:06:05Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers?
00:06:07June, dear, I phoned you several times.
00:06:09You were out.
00:06:10Well, we've got to keep trying.
00:06:12June, I know the strain you're under,
00:06:13but breaking down won't help.
00:06:15Dad has only nine days to live.
00:06:17You know that he's innocent.
00:06:19I've always believed that.
00:06:20Or as public defender,
00:06:21I'd never have carried the case so far.
00:06:23If Dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man.
00:06:26The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:29June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan.
00:06:31Miss Harley.
00:06:32Miss Harley?
00:06:33Oh, I followed Thomas Harley case all through trial.
00:06:35What did you think of the case against Mr. Harley?
00:06:37The case seemed quite perfect.
00:06:39Almost too perfect.
00:06:40Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says.
00:06:42June, dear.
00:06:43We have only a few days left.
00:06:44We've got to do something.
00:06:45Where can I get a good private detective?
00:06:47That idea's useless.
00:06:48Tony, if you won't give me the name of a detective,
00:06:50I'll find one myself.
00:06:51June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:52My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help
00:06:55It was no use.
00:06:57I'm sorry than you'll ever know to have to say it,
00:06:59but there's nothing we can do.
00:07:01One thing can be done.
00:07:03What's that, Charlie?
00:07:04Give young lady name of detective.
00:07:06Who would you suggest?
00:07:07Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend.
00:07:09Call on detective tonight.
00:07:11Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state?
00:07:14Ancient proverbs say,
00:07:16One small wind can raise much dust.
00:07:18Excuse, please.
00:07:20What name did he give you?
00:07:23Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance.
00:07:25Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:28All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:29Tired in the toothpaste of the tube.
00:07:30We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:31Excellent.
00:07:32Excellent.
00:07:33It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:34Thanks, Pop.
00:07:36Car okay?
00:07:37Oh, yes.
00:07:38All oil and grease.
00:07:39Yes, and a tank full of gas.
00:07:40Good.
00:07:41Now we will go back to the hotel.
00:07:42What for?
00:07:43To unpack baggage.
00:07:44I will sit in the car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:07:47All packed.
00:07:48All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:49Tired in the toothpaste of the tube.
00:07:50We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:51Excellent.
00:07:52Excellent.
00:07:53It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:54Thanks, Pop.
00:07:56Car okay?
00:07:57Oh, yes.
00:07:58All oil and grease.
00:07:59Yes, and a tank full of gas.
00:08:00Good.
00:08:01Now we will go back to hotel.
00:08:02What for?
00:08:03To unpack baggage.
00:08:05I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:09Oh.
00:08:10Now, ain't that something.
00:08:14After we packed the bags better than we ever packed them before.
00:08:17Now, that's what your Pop said.
00:08:18Yep.
00:08:19Then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:21It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:22Yeah.
00:08:23You know what it told me?
00:08:24I got a headache.
00:08:25A headache?
00:08:26Mm-hmm.
00:08:27I don't know where I got it, but I got one.
00:08:28Always sitting.
00:08:30Wish you would wear out brains instead of seat of pants.
00:08:34Pop, we have been thinking.
00:08:35Most impossible.
00:08:36Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Chan.
00:08:37We've been thinking.
00:08:38And now you have a headache.
00:08:43Hey, how did he know that?
00:08:45Now, in a case like this, what would confusion say?
00:08:48It's not confusion.
00:08:49It's Confucius.
00:08:50Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me.
00:08:53Hey, you hear that one brain knocking?
00:08:56That's you.
00:08:57That's the door.
00:08:58Uh-oh.
00:08:59That's me.
00:09:00Mr. Chan.
00:09:01Mr. Chan.
00:09:02Right over that way, ma'am.
00:09:04Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:05Mr. Chan.
00:09:06I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:07I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:08Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful.
00:09:10Mr.
00:09:11Oh, this is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:09:12I phoned him at the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:13I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison.
00:09:14I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:16I wanted Hugh to tell Dad.
00:09:17Mr.
00:09:18Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:19I'm detective, not magician.
00:09:20You must not excuse me.
00:09:21Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:22Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:23Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:24Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:25I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:26I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
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.
00:09:34Mr.
00:09:35Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:37I'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.
00:09:48It come too soon.
00:09:50Police report on Harley case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:54You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:56Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:58But where?
00:09:59Place where you live.
00:10:01Why look there?
00:10:02Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:04He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:07Tooth is missing but gap remained.
00:10:10From gap we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:15We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:17Sitting assistants, you will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:27Okay, Pop.
00:10:28Boy, a murder case.
00:10:29Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:30Hurry?
00:10:31Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:34Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:37I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:38Every time they start, they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:41I've told you that's all I know.
00:10:46Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:51Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:53Ugliest trade sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:56Even Gravedigger knows some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:02I'm sorry I said that, it just slipped out.
00:11:05Many such slip might solve mystery.
00:11:08Please continue.
00:11:09That's all I have to say.
00:11:11That's what women always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:15You are a social worker?
00:11:18Yes.
00:11:19You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:25Often, what's wrong with that?
00:11:27Nothing, very fine civic duty.
00:11:29Mr. Harley lived in this house for 15 years.
00:11:33So, you must have known he was ex-convict when he first entered this house.
00:11:38I did.
00:11:39I tried to help him.
00:11:40You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:43He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:46After he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:4915 years after.
00:11:52What about note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:11:58Same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:12:02It was, but Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:06Even so, you could have written note before crime occurred.
00:12:10So could anyone else in this house.
00:12:13Thank you so much.
00:12:15Mr. Kenzie, you would please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:19You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:23No, I have not.
00:12:32You work for a social foundation, Miss Patri?
00:12:34Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:37Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary theatrical warehouse.
00:12:43It was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:47Oh, go on. Leave her alone, mister.
00:12:49She uses a seek and sock system. I've seen her practicing.
00:12:52On Mrs. Foss's typewriter?
00:12:54You make much money as typist?
00:12:57No?
00:12:58Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:13:01Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:05Mr. Johnson, you are a public accountant?
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:15You have owned business?
00:13:16Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:20One of your business firms is Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:13:25But the police knew that.
00:13:27They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place,
00:13:30I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:32Now, Mr. Danvers,
00:13:37you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden
00:13:40shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:45You had me worried for a minute, but you're right.
00:13:47I was in both cities, often.
00:13:49You also visit banks which were robbed,
00:13:52including Citizens State Bank here.
00:13:54I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:57The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:14:01You sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks.
00:14:05Yes, sir.
00:14:06It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:08With your knowledge of banks,
00:14:10could you not be a very great assistance
00:14:12to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:15Now, wait a minute.
00:14:16If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:18Merely suggest what you could do,
00:14:20if dishonest.
00:14:22Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:27Listen, I buy my own clothes.
00:14:29Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:30Of course.
00:14:32If somebody was to offer me a mink coat,
00:14:34I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:35During an investigation of Kerry Warehouse,
00:14:39a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:41Huh? A dress of mine?
00:14:43Very small dress, consisting of few feathers.
00:14:47Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:50Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:53But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:56I wore that costume in frivolous follies.
00:14:59But the show finally flopped.
00:15:01Kerry's must have bought the props, scenery,
00:15:03and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:04But your show play, Cities of Lamont and Rawdon,
00:15:07at the same time banks were robbed there,
00:15:09in identical manner,
00:15:11which Citizen State Bank robbed here.
00:15:14Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:16No, merely that moment trying to figure
00:15:18how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:22Oh, 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. Chant?
00:15:36No.
00:15:37Tomorrow we'll visit prison and interview your father.
00:15:40Tell him not to worry.
00:15:41And tell him we're doing everything.
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. Chant?
00:15:59Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:16:02This is my house, and I'll do as I like.
00:16:06Mr. Chant, if I can be of any help,
00:16:08I'll get a leave of absence from my job,
00:16:10and come down here...
00:16:11No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:12Miss Harley is right.
00:16:13You return to job.
00:16:14I send for you when I need you.
00:16:16Mr. Chant, I'm scared.
00:16:18We only have nine days...
00:16:19Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:20Excellent advice.
00:16:22Remember old saying,
00:16:23Earthquake may shatter the rock,
00:16:25but sand upon which rock stood,
00:16:27still right there in same old place.
00:16:30You relax, and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:39Mr. Chant, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:42No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:45We'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:47What am I saying?
00:16:48You surprise yourself, huh?
00:16:50Usually you surprise me.
00:16:52Did you see that bee come through here...
00:16:57with that jet job motor?
00:17:01Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:02Where's Birmingham?
00:17:03The car's going by itself.
00:17:04No, it ain't.
00:17:05I was steering by remote control.
00:17:06Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:07The only persons know we come this way...
00:17:09are people living at Foss Hotel.
00:17:10This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:14I'm awfully glad to see you, Charles.
00:17:15I'm awfully glad to see you, Charles.
00:17:16I'm so glad to see you.
00:17:17I'm very glad to see you, Charles.
00:17:18I'm very glad to see you.
00:17:19I'm glad to see you.
00:17:20You may be here for a long time.
00:17:21It's still a long time.
00:17:22I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:44I think, uh, as old friend warden come around, 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.
00:17:57What 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.
00:18:12Oh, 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.
00:18:18I should get resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:20Well, sit in.
00:18:23Sit again.
00:18:25Remain where you are.
00:18:27Oh, warden.
00:18:30Mr. Barker wanted the print files on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:34Oh, yes.
00:18:34In my office.
00:18:36Go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:37One moment.
00:18:37I have seen you before.
00:18:40I don't know.
00:18:41But I've seen you.
00:18:43You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:44And you are...
00:18:45Number 8251.
00:18:49He's Jimmy Slate, 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 a tough guy?
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:57Oh, you mean a convict?
00:18:58Mm-hmm.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00Well, Birmingham round.
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.
00:19:17It's Mr. 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?
00:19:38On time.
00:19:39You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:41What?
00:19:41I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:43No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45Why, no.
00:19:45Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:46Not 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.
00:19:52Now, 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.
00:19:59Is that the same gal...
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.
00:20:12No?
00:20:12No, now, what I want to give her is some...
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...
00:20:21I did.
00:20:21And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:23Who?
00:20:23I saw...
00:20:24Is he still out there?
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26I thought he was...
00:20:26He was, but he got out.
00:20:28Is that so?
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:30He's staying over with Mr...
00:20:31Is that so?
00:20:32Mm-hmm.
00:20:33There must be charged.
00:20:33No, not that much.
00:20:35No?
00:20:35No, all he's paying is...
00:20:36That's a fair prize.
00:20:38Yeah?
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:39Well, look at you.
00:20:40I got to go now.
00:20:41I'll be over to see you.
00:20:42I'll be working then.
00:20:43Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:43I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:44Okay, sure.
00:20:44Look me up now.
00:20:45I'll do that.
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:47Who is that man?
00:20:48Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:51That's my brother, Ben.
00:20:52Oh, you're...
00:20:53Your wife, Guy, why were you in prison 20 years ago?
00:21:00When June was born.
00:21:02I never told June because I...
00:21:03I meant to go straight.
00:21:05And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:21:07But your fingerprints found in Bank Vault.
00:21:10Yes, I know.
00:21:11I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:13They were my prints, but I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:20You don't believe me.
00:21:21Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:26Never believe nightmare, no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:31When you're here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:37Yes, he was.
00:21:38Ready 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?
00:21:45There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:49But if someone else committed a crime, then, Mr. Chan.
00:21:54What are you going to do?
00:21:56At the 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.
00:22:06Are 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, I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:16I don't know, let's follow it and see.
00:22:17No, we better not.
00:22:20Hey, Punchy, you know what I heard too, the grapevine?
00:22:23Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:25Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:26You know what I'm going to do when I see that chant?
00:22:31Did you hear what that man said about Pop?
00:22:32I ain't doubt.
00:22:33I think we better follow them.
00:22:34What did you say just a 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.
00:22:41They went in here.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:50Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:52Look, you heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:53We've got to find out what they're up to.
00:22:55Okay, okay.
00:23:00There they are.
00:23:01See them?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:11The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:19Maybe we better hide to keep them from falling on us.
00:23:21We'll sneak up on them.
00:23:22There you go, wheels sneak up again, Punchy.
00:23:25How 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've got to find out who he's going to kill.
00:23:52We're going to find out.
00:23:53You're going to find out.
00:23:54Okay.
00:23:55Wait a minute.
00:24:07Good Chris, they've got a knockoff.
00:24:13They're still coming.
00:24:14They're right behind us.
00:24:15Yeah, they're in that crowd.
00:24:16We can't see them.
00:24:16Let's go.
00:24:19Good Chris, the gang is from all sides.
00:24:25Hey, look, here they're coming now.
00:24:28Do you see them?
00:24:29Yeah.
00:24:29No, let's go this way.
00:24:30Down the hall.
00:24:31Come on, let's go.
00:24:32Oh, please, let's get out of here.
00:24:35Here they come again.
00:24:36Good Chris.
00:24:46Voiglers.
00:24:47You better count your money.
00:24:48Don't be always interrupted, Punchy.
00:24:50Count it.
00:24:51Come on, you guys.
00:24:52Come on.
00:24:53Are you two guys following me?
00:24:55No, sir.
00:24:56We got you here first, but you can have it.
00:24:57Listen, mister, it's all a mistake.
00:24:58Why do you mean a mistake?
00:24:59I'm not telling you.
00:25:00Hey, look at that to him.
00:25:01This door's locked.
00:25:02Hey, how can we get out of here?
00:25:04Hey, fellas, there's a visitor here
00:25:05and he wants to know how he can get out.
00:25:09This ain't that funny, Mr. Chance.
00:25:11Hey, Pa.
00:25:12Mr. Chance.
00:25:13Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:15Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:17No.
00:25:17After talk with Mr. Harley,
00:25:19I'm convinced the man is innocent.
00:25:20But 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
00:25:32and placed at scene of crime.
00:25:34Oh, no, Charlie.
00:25:35That's impossible.
00:25:36Nothing is impossible.
00:25:38Forgery is only solution.
00:25:40Must find out how same is done before too late
00:25:43for Mr. Harley.
00:25:45Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:46Karen, what's up?
00:25:54The riot.
00:25:55What started the rioting?
00:25:57Just a reception to some strangers
00:25:58who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:01What strangers?
00:26:02Pa, pa.
00:26:04Mr. Chance.
00:26:04Mr. Chance.
00:26:05Oh, oh, which way?
00:26:07Which way?
00:26:07Cell block four.
00:26:08Mr. Chance.
00:26:13Oh, okay, get up.
00:26:16Mr. Chance.
00:26:17Quiet now.
00:26:21Come on.
00:26:21Quiet now.
00:26:22Come on.
00:26:24Quiet now.
00:26:24Quiet now.
00:26:25Come on.
00:26:26Quiet now.
00:26:27Quiet now.
00:26:28Right this way, Warden.
00:26:29Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:39Who's that, Mr. Chan?
00:26:40Yep.
00:26:40So.
00:26:41So even in prison you caused trouble.
00:26:44But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:45Mr. Chan, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:47First time I hear cuckoos outside of Clark.
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, very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:58Thanks.
00:26:59I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:27:01Oh, sure.
00:27:02He 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.
00:27:14I stand here humbly.
00:27:15Hey, Dr. Punchy, you say.
00:27:17Don't interrupt.
00:27:19Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:27:20What are we going to do now, Pop?
00:27:21You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:26What kind of garments is that?
00:27:27Straightjackets.
00:27:28That did it.
00:27:31Punchy, you've been going in for illiterate joy.
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.
00:27:44Hello.
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.
00:28:06I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:13Same thing.
00:28:15No distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:16No oil.
00:28:17That's right, sir.
00:28:18What do you mean, oil?
00:28:19There is always natural oil in hands.
00:28:22And that oil is what causes the 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 Posse Hotel.
00:29:00Okay, but why?
00:29:02Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:09I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:11You mean you are.
00:29:12You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:13Sure I do.
00:29:14It's something that the police wears.
00:29:15Are you kidding?
00:29:17Tommy!
00:29:18This is the last one, Pop.
00:29:20No more.
00:29:21Today's the 14th, and Harley's scheduled to die the 17th.
00:29:24What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:26Police reports show three banks robbed in past two years.
00:29:30Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:33Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on family tree.
00:29:36Woodpecker.
00:29:38I've got to remember that.
00:29:40Rodden bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:43Lamont bank robbed, and a man named Steven Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:48And Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:50And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:53And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:55Also, curious coincidence is, each man arrested in each case swear he leave no fingerprints in bank because he never there.
00:30:05Do you think Harley was in with the gang, Pop?
00:30:08Oh, he finished school now.
00:30:10He tried to finish me.
00:30:12But, Pop.
00:30:12Mmm, mocho.
00:30:14Also, in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:18Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:21Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:24It is only prison where all three men serve time.
00:30:27Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:29Yes.
00:30:30But let me make suggestion first.
00:30:32Keep quiet.
00:30:33Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:35But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:38That is idea.
00:30:39Very good idea.
00:30:41I believe there is some connection between bank robberies, fingerprints, and the state's prison.
00:30:48What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:50Oh, for a time, my nurse theory.
00:30:53Very excellent theory.
00:30:55But now, instead of nurse, I fear theory need undertaker.
00:31:02Hello.
00:31:04For you, Charlie.
00:31:05Oh.
00:31:06Charlie Chan speaking.
00:31:07We have that information you asked for.
00:31:09Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:11Yes, go ahead.
00:31:12Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade, a convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau at the state prison.
00:31:18She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:24Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived.
00:31:27And theory, now very healthy again.
00:31:32I see.
00:31:34Another thing, Miss Petrie, why you lie about clothes?
00:31:37I didn't.
00:31:38They were given to me.
00:31:39I learned different.
00:31:40Where you obtain money to buy fine garments?
00:31:43I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:44Please.
00:31:45Where you get money.
00:31:46Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:49I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:51You will talk at police headquarters.
00:31:53Get your hat and coat.
00:31:55Miss Holly, you go with her.
00:31:59You think she's mixed up in this?
00:32:01We soon find out.
00:32:04Mrs. Sposs, why you lie when I ask you if any other convict live in this house?
00:32:09I didn't.
00:32:10Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:11You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:13When young lady bear title Miss, she usually have no husband to be mentioned.
00:32:20I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:22She's timid and shy.
00:32:25That's June.
00:32:25What happened?
00:32:36Someone chopped me.
00:32:37Miss Petrie?
00:32:38I don't know.
00:32:39I don't know who it was.
00:32:41It was someone in that room.
00:32:50Clothing undisturbed.
00:32:55What have you there?
00:32:57Nothing, Pop.
00:32:58Just some old telephone numbers.
00:33:03Name of Kerry Theatrical Warehouse appear often in this case.
00:33:07Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:33:08Mr. Kenzie.
00:33:10You will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:13I will try warehouse.
00:33:14It must be a woman driver, Pop.
00:33:31Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:34No license plates.
00:33:35No license plates.
00:33:35Perhaps Miss Petrie arrive already.
00:33:50Take a look around.
00:33:51Quietly.
00:33:55No Birmingham.
00:33:59Well, didn't you hear what Pop said?
00:34:01Sure.
00:34:01Your Pop said, look around quietly.
00:34:03And that's just what I'm going to do.
00:34:05Look around quietly.
00:34:05Right here in the light.
00:34:07See, there ain't no harm to that.
00:34:08Always want to go in the dark.
00:34:10See, I'm going to look right around here in the light.
00:34:13See that?
00:34:14Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:20Tommy.
00:34:21See?
00:34:22Go ahead.
00:34:22Go in that dark and get lost.
00:34:24I don't care.
00:34:25I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:26Always running around.
00:34:27That ain't real.
00:34:34Oh, boy.
00:34:35Oh, boy.
00:34:35That ain't real.
00:34:36But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me.
00:34:39Be dependable.
00:34:42Hey, Tommy.
00:34:44Tommy!
00:34:45Tommy!
00:34:45Tommy!
00:34:46Tommy!
00:34:57Oh, boy.
00:35:17Oh, oh, boy.
00:35:18Don't get excited now.
00:35:23He ain't real.
00:35:24He was real.
00:35:25Don't get excited now.
00:35:27He's in a trance, not us.
00:35:29Just stay with me, and I'll let you in to go.
00:35:36I've never heard of an old one.
00:35:38Now, you don't have to worry, now.
00:35:39Everything's all right.
00:35:40Just stay with me.
00:35:41I've never seen.
00:35:42They ought to have a cage or something for them lions around here.
00:35:45This house shorting is terrible.
00:35:47I ain't never...
00:35:48Whoa.
00:35:49Hmm.
00:35:50I heal a monster.
00:35:52This place is getting crowded.
00:35:54Brother, will you just move over?
00:35:55Oh, just a little bit?
00:35:56Just hold that a little bit.
00:35:58That's a pretty.
00:35:59Oh, oh.
00:36:02I'd never seen that like this before in my life.
00:36:05Tommy.
00:36:07Give me my hat.
00:36:09Tommy.
00:36:10Is that you got in my hat?
00:36:14Tommy, please say, yes, you got in my hat.
00:36:17Oh, oh.
00:36:18Oh, oh.
00:36:18Oh, oh.
00:36:22It ain't no kidding, either.
00:36:36Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen get together,
00:36:40because I'm going to show it to you.
00:36:46Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:50I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:52Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:54I wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:57Look at this.
00:36:59Good evening.
00:37:01Well, ain't this me?
00:37:03It looks all right.
00:37:13Good, Tracy.
00:37:14Tommy.
00:37:15Tommy.
00:37:17Mr. Doorman.
00:37:18Mr. Doorman.
00:37:20You better open that door.
00:37:21If you don't, you're going to lose it.
00:37:22Good gracious of me.
00:37:24Oh, my goodness.
00:37:26Go in.
00:37:26Good.
00:37:28Mr. Chan.
00:37:29Good.
00:37:30Good gracious of me.
00:37:44Tommy.
00:37:45Tommy.
00:37:45Mr. Chan.
00:37:46Tommy.
00:37:47Good gracious of me.
00:37:48Tommy.
00:37:48Be quiet.
00:37:49Here 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?
00:37:58Birmingham.
00:37:58Good gracious.
00:37:59Tommy, don't do that without you saying something.
00:38:01Hey, is this you?
00:38:02Or is this you?
00:38:02Who is you?
00:38:03This is me.
00:38:03Be quiet.
00:38:04Oh, that's you?
00:38:05I just can't help you, Tommy.
00:38:06I'm all upset.
00:38:07Good gracious.
00:38:08I never, I'm nervous.
00:38:09I just got to sit down.
00:38:10I'm telling you.
00:38:11I'm just, oh, good.
00:38:12Snake.
00:38:13Mr. Chan.
00:38:14Mr. 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.
00:38:23Yes, sir.
00:38:24That's the best thing I heard you said.
00:38:54Mr. Johnson.
00:39:12Mr. Johnson.
00:39:13Hey, Pop.
00:39:14Hey, Pop.
00:39:15Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:19I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:21Strange you not hear us.
00:39:23It makes my assistant make very much noise.
00:39:25Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:27I have sinus trouble.
00:39:28At times, like tonight, it affects my hearing.
00:39:32Makes me slightly deaf.
00:39:33You not hear assistants make noise in warehouse?
00:39:37No, I didn't.
00:39:38I couldn't.
00:39:39I'm very sorry for you.
00:39:41I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:44Oh, thank you.
00:39:45If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to finish.
00:39:53You're 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 arrived here yet?
00:40:10Miss Petrie?
00:40:11I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick.
00:40:17Mr. Chan!
00:40:18Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:30That truck just went around and here it's coming back again.
00:40:32Miss Petrie!
00:40:33Hey, look out!
00:40:33Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:46Call the police.
00:40:47Yes, sir.
00:40:48Here's her purse, Pop.
00:40:48No.
00:40:49Wish only police to examine ladies' purse.
00:40:53No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:57Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:41:00No, 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 for desistance.
00:41:14But, Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:15To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderers.
00:41:20Mr. Chan?
00:41:21Yes.
00:41:21I 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's prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:38What for?
00:41:39To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men, I will telephone you.
00:41:45Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:42:07Four of them?
00:42:08Yes, the cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Harley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:13Was not expecting a card on Louis Mack today.
00:42:17Why 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'll 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 other than those photographed here.
00:42:37Oh, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:39And maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:42And 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 the same has already been done.
00:42:52Through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:57Briggs, Gray, and Harley.
00:42:59Gray went out of his head.
00:43:00He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:02And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:04Two months here finished him.
00:43:05I learned both men die protesting innocence.
00:43:08They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rawdon not placed there by themselves.
00:43:14And now, Mr. Harley say...
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 finish his examination.
00:43:25Okay, okay.
00:43:26This looks okay, huh?
00:43:27Let's sit down.
00:43:28Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble and wait for Mr. Chan.
00:43:31Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:33Oh, no.
00:43:35Not again.
00:43:36Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:43:38Hi, boy.
00:43:39How are you?
00:43:40I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:41Yeah?
00:43:42Yeah.
00:43:42Look, is you still in?
00:43:43Is you still out?
00:43:44Oh, sure.
00:43:46Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:47Oh, yeah.
00:43:48I went over and I saw him.
00:43:49You see, nobody introduced us, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:52That's the wrong approach.
00:43:53Yeah?
00:43:54Sure.
00:43:54Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:55I did.
00:43:56And we killed it.
00:43:57No.
00:43:58So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:59I thought the finance company got that.
00:44:01Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:44:02Oh, I see.
00:44:03Say, is he still going...
00:44:05No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:07No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:09I thought all the time you...
00:44:10Oh, she's married.
00:44:11No.
00:44:11Yeah, she married a fellow by the name of...
00:44:13He's a nice fellow.
00:44:14Oh, he is?
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Wait a minute.
00:44:17Hmm?
00:44:18Let me tell you something.
00:44:20What's that?
00:44:20You know what I heard?
00:44:21What?
00:44:22I heard...
00:44:23Not until Christmas.
00:44:24No.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25I never did believe that...
00:44:27I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:28No.
00:44:28In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:30Who?
00:44:31He.
00:44:31He?
00:44:32Who?
00:44:32Who's he?
00:44:33What's your my call?
00:44:34Oh, him.
00:44:34Sure.
00:44:35Oh, I didn't know who you were talking about.
00:44:36No.
00:44:37No.
00:44:37I never did know him.
00:44:39I don't know him myself.
00:44:40He's been strangest for years.
00:44:41Yeah.
00:44:42You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:44What?
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 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 Schmack's card.
00:45:00Yes, sir.
00:45:01And on it are a thumb and index.
00:45:02Print made by someone not in this prison.
00:45:05Preserve this card.
00:45:06It is proof that someone tried to falsely accuse
00:45:09Louis Schmack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:45:11When Kenzie gets back here with Slade,
00:45:13I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:45:14If I have to make...
00:45:14Warden, the guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:16He must know why we want him.
00:45:17Well, I'll find him.
00:45:19I'll call a general lock-up.
00:45:23Gavin!
00:45:28Uh-oh.
00:45:29Gotta go.
00:45:29Can't be late in this school.
00:45:31No?
00:45:31Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:32Be good.
00:45:32Show a lot of bells.
00:45:34Yeah, I 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.
00:45:40That's the best thing that I heard you say here.
00:45:42Look, let's play John Kenpo.
00:45:43John Kenpo.
00:45:44Yeah, he's out.
00:45:44Yeah, he's out?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:45Okay.
00:45:45Yeah, he's out.
00:45:47Yeah, he's out.
00:45:49I got you that's out.
00:45:50Yeah, he's out.
00:45:59Oh, no.
00:46:01Oh, yeah.
00:46:01Yeah, he's out.
00:46:05A lot of silence.
00:46:06Yeah.
00:46:07But we'll stay right here.
00:46:14Sergeant!
00:46:16Slade missing?
00:46:17Yes, sir.
00:46:17We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:19Alerting the guards have located Slade.
00:46:21He's heading for the bailing shed.
00:46:22Come on.
00:46:46So!
00:46:46The siren's down.
00:46:49Yeah.
00:46:49We'd better go and find Pop.
00:46:50Let's do that.
00:46:51Let's find Pop.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:53Let's do it.
00:46:56Let's do it.
00:46:57Come on.
00:46:58Let's do it.
00:47:01Come on.
00:47:06Watch out, Warden, he's up on the bale.
00:47:29Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:36Slade, you better give up, you haven't got a chance.
00:47:40Yeah?
00:47:42Come and get me.
00:47:53He's hit.
00:47:54He still may be able to talk.
00:47:59You're not going to make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:16This lady's dead.
00:48:28Just as well for him.
00:48:32Gun barrel plugged.
00:48:34Gun explode.
00:48:35He killed South.
00:48:36Hiya, Pop.
00:48:37Did something happen?
00:48:38A dead man.
00:48:39Guess something did happen.
00:48:40Yeah, we better go before something happened to us.
00:48:44It is too bad.
00:48:50Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:56But if there was something wrong...
00:48:57State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:48:59At present, I have no proof at all.
00:49:01You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:49:03Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:49:07What do you want now?
00:49:09Your fingerprints, please.
00:49:10Why?
00:49:11I'm looking for a murderer.
00:49:13Well, that lets me out.
00:49:14One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:16I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:18Look, 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.
00:49:29Excuse, please.
00:49:33So you work for the government.
00:49:34Who doesn't these days?
00:49:35You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:38Okay, toots.
00:49:40When 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.
00:49:51I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:54Everyone else is out.
00:49:56No matter.
00:49:57This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:01We go upstairs, please.
00:50:09You two not afraid?
00:50:10Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:12That you sit down so often you get concussion of brain.
00:50:15Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:16Good.
00:50:17Save it for old age.
00:50:21Look, I'll save one for me too.
00:50:32Any luck?
00:50:33Not yet, sir.
00:50:34Has anything been heard from Posse Hotel yet?
00:50:37Nothing.
00:50:38The prints on Louis Mack's prison card were those of Johnson, but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:42Excuse me, sir.
00:50:43Hello.
00:50:44Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:45No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:46Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away on one of his regular trips.
00:50:49But I'm worried it's getting...
00:50:50Please, please, you must not worry.
00:50:51Everything now in lap of gods.
00:50:52Very soon I give very hearty shove.
00:50:53Perhaps Clue fall off of laps.
00:50:55Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:50:56As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:00Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:01But when pressed against an object, they still leave no print marks.
00:51:02That's right.
00:51:03The lack of oil, huh?
00:51:04I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:05And if this test doesn't work, I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:06No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:11Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:13As 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 marks.
00:51:22That's right.
00:51:23A lack of oil, huh?
00:51:25I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:28And if this test doesn't work, I'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.
00:51:41Now, 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 would swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:08Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:09No, no.
00:52:10We make successful experiments.
00:52:12But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:52:16But, Pop, if the detective at the force hotel arrests Johnson...
00:52:20I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:23This engraving and photography on rubber, you do all of that here?
00:52:27No, sir.
00:52:28I use an engraving plant.
00:52:29I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:33Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:36No, sir.
00:52:36They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:38Large place.
00:52:39Large place.
00:52:41You remain here and try contact governor of state.
00:52:45If detectives at Foss Hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:51Cary's?
00:52:51What are you going out there for?
00:52:52To try and prove.
00:52:54Mr. Harley's 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.
00:53:35You 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.
00:53:51I'm going to go.
00:54:21Birmingham, it's me.
00:54:51I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:57Hey Pop!
00:54:59Hey Pop!
00:55:05No, I know you ain't real.
00:55:07Couldn't be real.
00:55:13Oh boy, not now.
