00:01:30What are we waiting for?
00:01:59We're not to be denied by the Clowdys.
00:02:01If they refuse to open, we'll break down the door.
00:02:03Which Clowdys?
00:02:07I tell you again, we will see the accursed Clowdys.
00:02:10And if you don't open the door, we'll break it down.
00:02:12Aye. Aye.
00:02:15But they didn't disturb the Clowdys.
00:02:30Here, your medicine, Glory.
00:02:32The physician said...
00:02:33Never mind what the physician said.
00:02:36My medicine's always been thirsty.
00:02:42But I tell you, Glory, he said it would kill you.
00:02:49I will not die.
00:02:54I will not die.
00:02:59I will not die until I see my son go to the war.
00:03:06What was that?
00:03:07The McClagons!
00:03:08Out of our way!
00:03:09Listen, Glory!
00:03:15And what business have men of Clan McClagon with me this day?
00:03:20Give me my bonnet.
00:03:22Gavin, Glory.
00:03:24We come to tell you that me and my five sons...
00:03:27...and all the men of Clan McClagon...
00:03:29...are marching to fight the English for the glory of Scotland.
00:03:32And we rejoice that in the battle...
00:03:34...there will not be one fighting man...
00:03:36...that bears the hated name of Glory.
00:03:39I am too old and too ill to fight this day.
00:03:43But if, by accident, any of you McClagons...
00:03:47...shall happen to stray near the front line of battle...
00:03:50...you will see there my son murder.
00:03:54Your son murder, eh?
00:03:57We saw him just now in a field playing with women.
00:04:00Young women.
00:04:01A better occupation for a Glory than going to war.
00:04:04Fetch me my son!
00:04:06He will repay you for this insult.
00:04:10He'll have his chance on the battlefield.
00:04:13But let me tell you for the last time...
00:04:16...that the Glories are a clan of craven cowards.
00:04:19And we McClagons, being men, despise you.
00:04:22Men!
00:04:23I tell you, one Glory is man enough to thrash...
00:04:27...fifty McClagons!
00:04:29That's an insult, Father.
00:04:31We'll resent it.
00:04:32No.
00:04:33It's a waste of strength to bicker with the last...
00:04:35...poor, feeble relics of the clan Glory.
00:04:37Come on, lads.
00:04:38Get out!
00:04:39Before my son comes and slays you all!
00:04:47Bring me another glass.
00:04:53Whose turn is it now?
00:04:55Mine.
00:04:56Later.
00:04:57Mine.
00:04:58No.
00:04:59Mine.
00:05:00No, no.
00:05:01It's Jean's.
00:05:02What's the difference between a fizzle in the heather...
00:05:04...and a kiss in the dark?
00:05:05If you can't tell them by the time I've spelt...
00:05:07...Killy Cranky, you must pay the forfeit.
00:05:09K-I-L-L-I-E.
00:05:11Wait now.
00:05:12C-R-A-N-K-I-E.
00:05:13Well, you pay the forfeit.
00:05:14What is it?
00:05:15You know very well it's a kiss.
00:05:16It's always a kiss.
00:05:17Come here.
00:05:18Father.
00:05:19What is it?
00:05:20Forgive me, but your father is wanting you.
00:05:22What for?
00:05:23I think he's wanting you to be going to the battle.
00:05:26Oh, aye, the battle.
00:05:28But first I must claim the forfeit.
00:05:31Murder.
00:05:37Fare thee well, lasses.
00:05:38I'll be back soon.
00:05:51Murder.
00:06:07Murder.
00:06:09Will you meet any of the clan mclagan on the battle field?
00:06:13Strike him down.
00:06:15But I thought I was supposed to fight the English.
00:06:17You're a glory.
00:06:19You fight the MacLaggans first.
00:06:21You can attend to the English later.
00:06:24Goodbye, my son.
00:06:25Goodbye, father.
00:06:34Remember, you must not pause for one moment until you've avenged that insult.
00:06:39Now, Glowrey, you must rest.
00:06:41I rest.
00:06:43My son's a man at last.
00:06:46I can die content...
00:06:52...when I finish this wisdom.
00:07:03Glowrey! Glowrey!
00:07:05What's happened?
00:07:06He's ill.
00:07:07Aye, very ill.
00:07:09Well, we'll send for the physician.
00:07:10No, it's too late now.
00:07:13May Heaven receive the soul of Gavin Glowrey.
00:07:44Good morning, my bonny lass.
00:07:46Remember, Marduk, your father said you mustn't pause.
00:07:48Be quiet.
00:07:49Tell me, lassie, which is the way to the battle?
00:07:52The second turning to your left.
00:07:54And then bear right till you come to men's fighting.
00:07:57And that'll be it.
00:07:58Well, if the battle doesn't start on time, I'll come back.
00:08:00Wait for me.
00:08:14Ah, that cannon looks as though it's seen great service.
00:08:16Aye, it's been fighting for Scotland for over a hundred years.
00:08:19But how many cannons have the English?
00:08:21A dozen or more, but they're all brand new.
00:08:24No match for old Terrible here.
00:08:26Wait till you hear him.
00:08:28I'd be glad to, but first I've an account to settle with the cursed MacLaggans.
00:08:31So what do you want with them?
00:08:33They've insulted the name of Glowrey, which I'm proud to bear.
00:08:37Are you one of the MacLaggans?
00:08:39Me? No, no, I hate them too.
00:08:41Have you aimed old Terrible?
00:08:42Aye, sir, he's all ready to blow the English off the face of the earth.
00:08:45Then fire!
00:08:46To the right! To the left! To the right! To the left!
00:08:48Come on! Fire!
00:08:57I think you've made a slight mistake in your aim.
00:09:00You agitated fool! You've wasted a good cannonball.
00:09:03Never mind. I saw where it fell. I'll bring it back to you.
00:09:07Come on, lads. The battle's started.
00:09:10Forward till we meet the Redcoats, and then we'll chase them out of Scotland.
00:09:15Forward!
00:09:18MacLaggans!
00:09:19Don't interrupt us. We're advancing.
00:09:21But Murdoch, Glowrey's looking for you.
00:09:23Glowrey? Here on the battlefield? Where is he?
00:09:26At the cannon.
00:09:27You lads go and find him.
00:09:28But the battle!
00:09:29First we must settle this important matter.
00:09:32About turn!
00:09:34March!
00:09:41It must have rolled in there.
00:09:42I leap over. Here, hold my claymore and cards.
00:09:50Why, my dear young lady, what's the matter?
00:09:52This horrible battle.
00:09:54Oh, it can't be as bad as all that.
00:09:56My lover is there fighting, and he'll be killed.
00:09:59Oh, you mustn't think of him. He's a hero.
00:10:01We're all heroes.
00:10:05You're a kind, good man, and I thank you for comforting me.
00:10:08It's a pleasure, my dear.
00:10:09Tell me, do you know the game of spell me a riddle?
00:10:12Well, you see, I ask you a riddle, and if you can't tell me the answer...
00:10:15Murdoch!
00:10:16Remember, your father said you mustn't oppose.
00:10:19Away with you. I'll be out in a moment.
00:10:24There's the Glowrey.
00:10:25That's his groom.
00:10:26Well, he'll know where Murdoch is.
00:10:28Let's ask him.
00:10:30I give up.
00:10:31Well, you must pay the forfeit.
00:10:32What is it?
00:10:33It's this.
00:10:34Murdoch!
00:10:36Oh!
00:10:37There's always some cursed interruption.
00:10:39Oh, I see.
00:10:40Forgive me, lassie, I'll be back soon.
00:10:42Murdoch! Murdoch!
00:10:43Here, stop.
00:10:45There he is.
00:10:46Hi, look at him.
00:10:48The fighting man.
00:10:49With a woman, as usual.
00:10:51Return my claymore, and you'll stop your laughing.
00:10:53Come and get it yourself.
00:10:55We'll return it through your body.
00:10:58Hand it over.
00:10:59You've met your match, Glowrey.
00:11:00Come on, get that.
00:11:05Hey!
00:11:08Hey!
00:11:09Here, just a minute.
00:11:10Just a minute.
00:11:11I have to have a sword.
00:11:12Won't someone lend me a sword?
00:11:36May Heaven receive the soul of Murdoch, Glowrey.
00:11:54Murdoch!
00:11:56Murdoch!
00:11:58Murdoch!
00:12:00Murdoch!
00:12:02Murdoch!
00:12:03Murdoch!
00:12:06My son, can you hear me?
00:12:09Father, where are you?
00:12:10Where am I?
00:12:11In limbo.
00:12:13The empty place between Heaven and Earth.
00:12:17I died with honor, and you died a coward's death.
00:12:22Do you realize that?
00:12:24Yes, Father, I suppose I did.
00:12:26Then you can never be welcomed among your ancestors in Heaven.
00:12:32Never?
00:12:33You will be an earthbound ghost, doomed to haunt the dark halls of Glowrey Castle.
00:13:03The Lord preserve us!
00:13:04The Lord preserve us!
00:13:05The Lord preserve us!
00:13:06The Lord preserve us!
00:13:07The Lord preserve us!
00:13:08The Lord preserve us!
00:13:09The Lord preserve us!
00:13:10The Lord preserve us!
00:13:11The Lord preserve us!
00:13:12The Lord preserve us!
00:13:13The Lord preserve us!
00:13:14The Lord preserve us!
00:13:15The Lord preserve us!
00:13:16The Lord preserve us!
00:13:17The Lord preserve us!
00:13:18The Lord preserve us!
00:13:19The Lord preserve us!
00:13:20The Lord preserve us!
00:13:21The Lord preserve us!
00:13:22The Lord preserve us!
00:13:23The Lord preserve us!
00:13:24The Lord preserve us!
00:13:25The Lord preserve us!
00:13:26The Lord preserve us!
00:13:27The Lord preserve us!
00:13:28The Lord preserve us!
00:13:29The Lord preserve us!
00:13:30The Lord preserve us!
00:13:31The Lord preserve us!
00:13:32The Lord preserve us!
00:13:33It is a ghost!
00:13:37It is a ghost!
00:13:39It is a ghost!
00:13:41Father?
00:13:43Yes, my son?
00:13:45How long will I have to go on with this nonsense?
00:13:48I mean frightening people, like that.
00:13:52You promise to avenge our honour and you failed.
00:13:55You will remain a phantom in this castle until that promise is fulfilled.
00:14:00When you twist the nose of one of our enemies and make him kneel before you and admit that
00:14:08one glory can thrash 50 McLaggons.
00:14:14But suppose I can never find a McLaggon?
00:14:17A promise is a promise.
00:14:22Every night at midnight, you will awaken and walk through the halls of this castle until
00:14:34you've found a McLaggon and forced him to bow before you in humble apology.
00:14:52Then, or not till then, will you be permitted to ascend from limbo and join your noble ancestors
00:15:02in heaven.
00:15:05Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:15:22Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:15:48Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:16:15Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:16:41Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:17:01Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:17:25Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:17:35Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:17:45Farewell, miserable, goth of the blood.
00:18:09How did you come here?
00:18:12Well, I just walked in that front door.
00:18:15It was open.
00:18:16That's no reason.
00:18:17The lock of that door's been broken for 200 years.
00:18:20What do you want?
00:18:22I saw a sign that this place was for sale.
00:18:24That's still no reason.
00:18:27Do you know the price?
00:18:29You're not thinking of buying it, are you?
00:18:35Master Donald!
00:18:38What is it?
00:18:39It might be a purchaser.
00:18:43Do you think he's serious?
00:18:45It's a she.
00:18:46And young, too.
00:18:47But she's got a queer kind of speech.
00:18:49I'll try to understand it.
00:18:51The Dutch Sir Donald Glowery come to a grand total of 2,374 pounds, 18 shillings, and fourpence hidden.
00:19:00And he has not even the heathenate to pay us.
00:19:02You think he'll ever sell this old ruin?
00:19:05Not while the Glowery ghost walks these halls.
00:19:08It is the curse that's been on his family for ten generations.
00:19:12Ghosts are no ghosts.
00:19:13Debts are debts and must be paid.
00:19:16Come on.
00:19:17We'll search the castle till we find the runaway.
00:19:20And when you find him, don't let him out of your sight.
00:19:26This is Mr. Glowery, Miss.
00:19:29How do you do?
00:19:31My name is Peggy Martin.
00:19:33Oh, mine's Donald.
00:19:36I hear you're interested in selling this castle.
00:19:39Why, yes.
00:19:40I might be interested.
00:19:42Will you sit down?
00:19:44No, I think I'll just stand.
00:19:46I like to walk around a bit.
00:19:48I'm kind of nervous.
00:19:50That's funny.
00:19:51So am I.
00:19:53Oh.
00:19:54That's too bad.
00:19:55It doesn't really matter.
00:19:56I break something every day just for the pleasure of putting it together again.
00:20:02Are you an American?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04How'd you get it?
00:20:07Why do you keep staring at me like that?
00:20:09Have you never seen an American before?
00:20:11Oh, yes.
00:20:12Several.
00:20:13Where?
00:20:14In the zoo?
00:20:15Please forgive me.
00:20:16It's just that, well, we don't often have anything worth staring at.
00:20:20Mr. Glowery, there is a financial matter to discuss.
00:20:25Oh, yes, of course.
00:20:26Do sit down.
00:20:27I'm not so sure that I do want to sell this castle, but I'll be glad to show you around.
00:20:30Well, thank you.
00:20:31Of course, some of the panelings fall into pieces, but it can easily be repaired.
00:20:39Oh, I love it.
00:20:41You have no idea what it means to us to see something a little new.
00:20:45Oh, here is the room that Mary, Queen of Scots, slept in.
00:20:58Hey, he's in that room.
00:21:03Oh, how do you do?
00:21:11It probably sounds silly to you, but I guess every American has a hankering for this kind of romance and beauty and peacefulness.
00:21:21Who are all those cheerful-looking men?
00:21:23Oh, they're just businessmen.
00:21:25Do they want to buy the castle?
00:21:27Yes, they're very keen to get possession of it.
00:21:36I think it's lovely.
00:21:37Yes, lovely.
00:21:39I'm sure you'd hate to part with it.
00:21:41Well, I'd hate to let any of them have it.
00:21:43We haven't said anything about the price.
00:21:45Oh, no. Oh, there's no need to mention that.
00:21:49I'll leave that to my father.
00:21:51Would it be all right if I brought him here? And my mother, too?
00:21:54Of course.
00:21:55But perhaps...
00:21:56Perhaps you could bring them here for dinner this evening.
00:21:59Have you any other relatives?
00:22:01No.
00:22:02I mean, no husbands or anything like that.
00:22:05Oh, not even one.
00:22:07What time shall we be here?
00:22:08Oh, as early as possible. I mean, eight o'clock?
00:22:11Eight o'clock.
00:22:12And if for any reason your parents can't come, you'll come anyway, won't you?
00:22:15Oh, don't worry. I'll have them here.
00:22:17Goodbye, Mr. Glory.
00:22:18Goodbye, Miss...
00:22:25And who's to furnish this fine dinner?
00:22:28And the champagne.
00:22:29And who's to serve it?
00:22:31You'll furnish the meat, Mr. Ross.
00:22:33I think we'll have grouse.
00:22:35And the champagne from you, Mr. Mackay.
00:22:37And, Mr. Crawford, we'll have some of your best salmon.
00:22:40And all of you'll help to serve it.
00:22:42What?
00:22:43The insolence of a woman.
00:22:45We'll see you in jail first, and him, too.
00:22:48Come into the kitchen and we'll all have a glass of whiskey and talk it over.
00:22:52We will not.
00:22:53We're self-respecting tradesmen and will not.
00:22:56You heard the talk just now, didn't you?
00:22:58Aye, we did.
00:22:59But...
00:23:00But...
00:23:03The lass is an American and all Americans are filthy with money.
00:23:07Is that not so?
00:23:08I've heard the sum that you study.
00:23:10That whiskey was furnished by me and I'm still owed for it.
00:23:13Come, come now, Mr. Mackay.
00:23:15Even if it isn't paid for, it's still whiskey.
00:23:19I know Master Donald owes you all.
00:23:22Especially you, Mr. Ross, you flint-hearted moneylender.
00:23:25But the only chance you have of being paid is for him to sell the castle to these Americans.
00:23:30What about the glowery ghost?
00:23:31At midnight he'll be appearing.
00:23:33And there'll be no sale.
00:23:35We'll see no ghost.
00:23:36We'll give them a good dinner and long before midnight they'll have agreed to buy the castle.
00:23:41And we'll be rid of them.
00:23:43Sure, it must be.
00:23:44Come with me, lads.
00:23:46Come with me, lads.
00:23:47We must give this matter some thought.
00:24:03Good gracious, have you not finished that yet?
00:24:05It'll never be ready tonight.
00:24:08Will you stop that hideous noise while I'm cooking?
00:24:11What needn't practice?
00:24:12Well, off you go to the piggery.
00:24:13It'll sound more natural there.
00:24:15What are you waiting for?
00:24:25I must say you look a rich man in your fine clothes.
00:24:28Thank you, Fergus.
00:24:29I can assure you that the tailor who made this dinner jacket also hopes the castle will be sold.
00:24:34Don't forget that you borrowed that shirt stud from me.
00:24:38It's an heirloom in my family.
00:24:40And everyone admits it's solid gold.
00:24:42It must be returned.
00:24:44It will be returned in good condition.
00:24:46Is everything ready?
00:24:47Everything but your guests are late.
00:24:50And I warn you, I'll not be here at midnight to see the horrible spectacle that frightened my grandmother out of her wits.
00:24:56I'll keep my eye on that crook.
00:24:59You know, I'm in the retail grocery list.
00:25:01Chain stores all over the United States.
00:25:04Over 20 million customers.
00:25:06It's my responsibility knowing that every day you have 20 million stomachs to fill.
00:25:11Oh, yes.
00:25:12They've drunk the whole bottle.
00:25:14Open another.
00:25:15Remember, it's 22 and six a bottle.
00:25:18And remember also, that's my stomach.
00:25:21This place seems very antique.
00:25:23It's 600 years old, Mother.
00:25:26I knew I could feel a sense of the past here.
00:25:30Is it by any chance haunted?
00:25:33Mother's scared to death of ghosts.
00:25:35But I'm not.
00:25:36I'd love to meet one.
00:25:37Well, I have no desire for dealings with the other world.
00:25:40Well, is there a ghost, Mr. Doris?
00:25:42Well, I suppose there are legends about every old place.
00:25:46Well, I'll answer your question, Barrett.
00:25:48There isn't any ghost here or anywhere else.
00:25:50Because ghosts simply don't exist outside of mystery stories.
00:25:54If you don't mind, I'll have some more of that duck.
00:25:57Duck?
00:25:58It's grouse.
00:25:59Well, what's the difference?
00:26:02I love them shillings and eightpence.
00:26:06Ever since I had my nervous breakdown, I have been extremely psychic.
00:26:12And if there were a ghost here, I should see him and hear him.
00:26:17What's that?
00:26:30What is it?
00:26:31What is it?
00:26:36It's only the bagpipes, Mr. Martin.
00:26:38An old Scottish custom during dinner.
00:26:40An old Scots custom, eh?
00:26:48It sounds great.
00:26:50Some more champagne, please.
00:26:55Some more champagne.
00:27:02Eight pounds, three shillings and a penny.
00:27:06Gather up the rest of the whiskey, Mr. McKay.
00:27:08I'll take the cigars.
00:27:10You must be awake.
00:27:11But first I must get back my stud.
00:27:13There's little time left.
00:27:16I've heard it's right here by this table.
00:27:19The monster comes into view each night.
00:27:23It certainly is old, but aren't you ever afraid that it might fall to pieces?
00:27:27Oh, it does need a little reconstruction here and there.
00:27:30Yeah.
00:27:31What time is it?
00:27:32It's early, Mother.
00:27:34We ought to get home before midnight.
00:27:36It's what they call the witching hour for departed spirits.
00:27:40If you don't stop talking about ghosts, you'll be dreaming about them all night.
00:27:45Maybe I'm dreaming.
00:27:47I'd have sworn there was a decanter of whiskey on that table a moment ago.
00:27:51Some whiskey for Mr. Martin.
00:27:56Well, we're going now, Mr. Glory.
00:27:58Why?
00:27:59We have no wish to be here when the ghost comes.
00:28:06My butler tells me there's a bad storm coming up.
00:28:09I think it would be safer if you started before it breaks.
00:28:13You see, these Highland roads are treacherous and...
00:28:15But we can wait just a few more minutes.
00:28:18It's almost midnight.
00:28:19Midnight?
00:28:20We'd better leave at once.
00:28:22There she goes again.
00:28:24Oh, tell her, Mr. Glory.
00:28:25Tell her there's nothing like that around here.
00:28:27Unfortunately.
00:28:28Oh, yes.
00:28:31Fergus, have you ever seen a ghost in Glory Castle?
00:28:36Nor have I seen one.
00:28:39And never do I intend to.
00:28:50I think we'd better move into another room.
00:28:53It's getting cold in here.
00:28:55Getting cold in here.
00:28:57Oh, yes.
00:28:58I think it would be better.
00:29:00Just a minute, Molly.
00:29:03I counted only 11 strokes.
00:29:05But the clock says 12.
00:29:09I hope I haven't broken anything very valuable.
00:29:14I'm sorry I bumped into one of your ancestors.
00:29:17It's all right.
00:29:20I'm all right.
00:29:21But I suggest that you did a little reconstruction here and there on that chair.
00:29:25Oh, that's quite all right, Mr. Marcus.
00:29:27Well, you see, it's after midnight and nothing happened.
00:29:30I'm sort of disappointed.
00:29:31The only thing that happened was somebody sneaked away with the whiskey again.
00:29:36Well, come on, Gladys. We'll take you home.
00:29:44Good night, Mr. Glory.
00:29:46Thank you for a nice, quiet evening.
00:29:48Maybe tomorrow we can get together and talk a little business.
00:29:51Good night.
00:29:52You ought to go first, Peggy.
00:29:54No, you go ahead, Dad. I'll follow you.
00:29:58Good night, Mr. Glory. You've been very kind.
00:30:01You will come back, won't you?
00:30:03Oh, I'll come back. You may be sure.
00:30:05Good night.
00:30:06Good night.
00:30:14Murdoch Glory, for the first time in history you've been considerate.
00:30:18You've done me a good turn.
00:30:20And for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
00:30:23Don't thank him, Master Donald. Thank me.
00:30:26You?
00:30:27When you were at dinner, I set it ahead an hour.
00:30:32That's the right time now.
00:30:36Good night.
00:31:07Good night.
00:31:20All right, Murdoch. Come forth whenever you please.
00:31:24Hello! Is anybody away?
00:31:29Who is it?
00:31:30It's that American, Peggy.
00:31:33I'm terribly sorry to disturb you like this.
00:31:36Have you forgotten something?
00:31:38No. I just wanted to tell you about your clock downstairs.
00:31:42It's fast.
00:31:43Is it?
00:31:44One hour.
00:31:45But that's not the real reason I came, Donald.
00:31:48You don't mind my calling you Donald, do you?
00:31:50Oh, no, Peggy. I don't mind.
00:31:52Well, the fact is you really never get to know a place until after you've stayed in it a bit.
00:31:58So would it upset you awfully if I were to stay in the night here?
00:32:01Oh, no, of course not. But...
00:32:04Well, any old bedroom will do.
00:32:06Well, but they're also terribly uncomfortable.
00:32:08I don't mind.
00:32:09And so cold.
00:32:11Well, we can light a fire, can't we?
00:32:16It's not easy to sleep in this castle. You may hear noises.
00:32:20What kind of noises?
00:32:21Sometimes they might be like footsteps. Sometimes like moans.
00:32:25Oh, it sounds sort of scary.
00:32:27Oh, no, no. It'll just be the wind whistling through the cracks in the walls and rattling the old boards.
00:32:35Tell me, Mrs. McNair, is there anything in all this talk about a ghost?
00:32:40I tell you, miss, whatever you hear, it's only the wind.
00:32:44The wind?
00:32:56Murdoch!
00:32:58Murdoch Lowry!
00:33:00I want to ask you a favor.
00:33:03Be quiet, just this one night.
00:33:44I want to ask you a favor.
00:33:46Be quiet, just this one night.
00:34:14Come in.
00:34:44Who is there?
00:34:48Why, it's Mr. Lowry.
00:34:50It is.
00:34:51Oh, you scared me.
00:34:53For a moment I thought you were a ghost.
00:34:57I am a ghost.
00:35:00I am the face of the world.
00:35:02I am the face of the world.
00:35:04I am the face of the world.
00:35:06I am the face of the world.
00:35:08I am the face of the world.
00:35:10I am the face of the world.
00:35:13I am the famous Glowery Ghost
00:35:16that haunts this castle through the darkness of night,
00:35:20searching, searching for a despised McLagan.
00:35:26So that's the explanation.
00:35:29And I always thought you Scotch people had no sense of humor.
00:35:33So you don't believe me?
00:35:35Of course I do.
00:35:37And I think you look marvelous in that fancy dress costume.
00:35:40Oh, it's just what I happen to be wearing on the day of my death
00:35:44and my disgrace.
00:35:46Your death?
00:35:48Uh-huh.
00:35:49And when did that happen?
00:35:51Well, I forget the exact date,
00:35:54but it must have been about 200 years ago.
00:35:59200 years?
00:36:01Oh, and you look so young.
00:36:05Don't you know that we never age?
00:36:08Aren't you used to meeting ghosts?
00:36:10No, this is my first encounter.
00:36:13And I'm surprised that I'm not terrified of you, Donald.
00:36:17Why did you call me Donald when my name is Murdoch?
00:36:20Because I'm no more frightened of Murdoch than I would be of Donald.
00:36:24I'm glad of that.
00:36:26But I should hate to alarm such a pretty young girl.
00:36:30And you're the first I've met since the day of that ill-fated battle.
00:36:36It was a shepherdess then, I believe.
00:36:40I'd just started teaching her a game,
00:36:43and she was enjoying it very, very much.
00:36:47And what sort of a game was it?
00:36:50Spell me a riddle.
00:36:52Do you know it?
00:36:53No.
00:36:54How is it played?
00:36:56Well, you see,
00:36:58I ask you a riddle,
00:37:00and if you can't answer by the time I spell Killie Clanky,
00:37:04you must pay a forfeit.
00:37:06Now this is the riddle.
00:37:08What is the difference between a thistle in the heather and a kiss in the dark?
00:37:13Now you must answer.
00:37:14K-I-L-L-I-E-C-R-A-N-K-I-E.
00:37:22I give up.
00:37:23Well, you must pay the forfeit with a kiss.
00:37:25No, but first you must tell me,
00:37:27what is the difference between a thistle and a kiss?
00:37:30Oh, the forfeit comes first.
00:37:31Oh, no, it doesn't.
00:37:32I tell you, it does.
00:37:33And I tell you, good night.
00:37:38Murdoch, my son.
00:37:42I know, father.
00:37:46I must never again let a pretty face stare at me for my true purpose.
00:37:52But it's been such a long, long time since I saw one as nice as you.
00:37:59Good night.
00:38:23Everything's all right.
00:38:24The American came back.
00:38:25He's in there with Master Donald now.
00:38:27He'll get his with him.
00:38:31Good morning, Donald.
00:38:33Hello.
00:38:34Is my father still there?
00:38:35Yes, do you want to see him?
00:38:36Wait.
00:38:39I'd like to have a few words with you first.
00:38:42I like people who do crazy things.
00:38:45Crazy things?
00:38:46Mm-hmm.
00:38:47Like dressing up and pretending to be a ghost.
00:38:50You know, you had me almost scared for a minute last night.
00:38:53Oh, had I?
00:38:55And when I saw you in that magnificent costume,
00:38:58with the carton over your shoulder and the big silver buckle.
00:39:01Silver buckle?
00:39:03Oh, yes.
00:39:04You thought I looked well in that?
00:39:06Oh, much more handsome than you do now.
00:39:09And gayer, too.
00:39:11Are you going to tell me the answer?
00:39:13To what?
00:39:14The riddle you asked me.
00:39:16About the kiss and the fizzle.
00:39:19Oh, no, no.
00:39:20I can't tell you now.
00:39:22Oh, I guess I'll never know the answer until I say the forfeit.
00:39:26Well, here it is.
00:39:32And now what's the answer?
00:39:34Oh, no, you can't have the answer yet.
00:39:36But I've paid for it.
00:39:38Do you think one kiss is enough for the secret mystery of Glory Castle?
00:39:41Oh, no, that's only the beginning of the forfeit.
00:39:44What else must I do?
00:39:45Well, you'll find out later things.
00:39:48Only now I'm busy.
00:39:49Go and talk to your father, he's in there.
00:39:52Later.
00:39:56Plus nine pounds, three shillings and sixpence for last night's dinner.
00:40:01Plus four pounds for me shirt stuff.
00:40:04Remember, it's an heirloom and solid gold.
00:40:07Here's the grand total.
00:40:11Oh, yes. Oh, I see.
00:40:13But you can ask for a bit more than that.
00:40:16The difference will be yours.
00:40:19Can't you think just once how marvelous it would be for us to have a real old castle of our own?
00:40:24All right.
00:40:25But I won't go one penny over ten thousand pounds.
00:40:28Fine.
00:40:29I'll go tell Donald.
00:40:31No, I'll tell him.
00:40:33Mr. Martin, I've thought it over.
00:40:35Don't make it too hard, Donald.
00:40:37I want it so much.
00:40:38I know you do, Peggy.
00:40:39But I'm afraid my last price can't be lower than...
00:40:44It's...
00:40:45It's two thousand three hundred and eighty-eight pounds.
00:40:49How much did you say?
00:40:51Here it is.
00:40:55Well...
00:40:58That's pretty steep.
00:41:01But I'll take it.
00:41:04When can we start tearing it down?
00:41:06Tearing what down?
00:41:08Why, the whole work.
00:41:09We're going to crate it up stone by stone and panel by panel and ship it to America.
00:41:14You can't do that.
00:41:15Glowery Castle belongs here where it's always been.
00:41:18I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:41:20I'll give you a contract to come to America and supervise every detail of the reconstruction.
00:41:25No!
00:41:26I'll never sell it on those terms.
00:41:28Donald, please accept the offer.
00:41:30I can't come to America.
00:41:32No!
00:41:33With us.
00:41:35No.
00:41:39Glowery Castle
00:42:09Glowery Castle
00:42:30This is the castle I was telling you about. I'm taking it back home.
00:42:33Stone by stone and panel by panel.
00:42:35In fact, I've got some of the paneling crated up right here on this ship.
00:42:39It's a much finer specimen than that dinky little chateau of yours.
00:42:43Oh, Donald!
00:42:44Shake hands with Mr. Bigelow.
00:42:46How do you do?
00:42:47How do you do?
00:42:48I was just looking for Peggy.
00:42:49Oh, she's around here someplace with that young count.
00:42:51Mr. Bigelow was the man I was telling you about.
00:42:53He bought a chateau.
00:42:55Mr. Glowery used to own my castle.
00:42:57Oh, so you're the castle salesman, huh?
00:43:00Congratulations.
00:43:01And if you ever want a job in my sales force, it's yours.
00:43:05Thank you very much.
00:43:06Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll go and find Peggy.
00:43:08What was the idea of congratulating him and then offering him a job?
00:43:12Oh, I'm always on the lookout for brilliant young men who can...
00:43:15who can sell anything.
00:43:24Oh, that darn dog!
00:43:28Oh, your head!
00:43:29Oh, I'm all right.
00:43:31By the way, have you met Mr. Donald Glowery, Count Olivero?
00:43:34How do you do?
00:43:35How do you do?
00:43:36Come here, my son.
00:43:37That wretched dog has run us loose again.
00:43:39Donald, would you mind?
00:43:40Oh, certainly.
00:43:42Do you play ping-pong?
00:43:43No, my brain could never work fast enough.
00:43:45No, your game is spell me a riddle.
00:43:48What spell me a riddle?
00:43:50You know better than I do.
00:43:51Are you ready?
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:56Listen to me, Ed Bigelow.
00:43:58I'll tell you something about this castle.
00:44:00It's said to have a ghost.
00:44:01Said to have?
00:44:02Yes, sir.
00:44:03And I'll bet that's more than you've got with that little old chateau of yours.
00:44:07And have you seen the ghost?
00:44:09No, but...
00:44:10And do you know anyone who has seen it?
00:44:12No, but I can...
00:44:13I knew it.
00:44:14Very clever, the Scotch.
00:44:16Very clever indeed.
00:44:30THE END
00:45:00Yes, Father, yes.
00:45:19But I don't know where I am.
00:45:21Father, Father, what is this strange place?
00:45:32Where am I?
00:45:33On board ship, my son.
00:45:36On your way to America.
00:45:38But, Father, I don't want to go to America.
00:45:41I don't want to become a confounded colonist.
00:45:44You have to go, my son.
00:45:47To the old, glorious castle which you dishonored.
00:45:51Even to America.
00:46:16Donald, when you rebuilt Glowery Castle in Florida...
00:46:27Yes?
00:46:28Why not live in it?
00:46:30Well, you'll want to live there yourself, won't you?
00:46:32Oh, all the more.
00:46:33Peggy, do you know that at this moment I'm a pauper?
00:46:37What's a pauper?
00:46:39Oh, a man who wants something terribly and can't afford even to say so.
00:46:45Terribly, Donald?
00:46:47More than that.
00:46:49Oh, that's lovely. I mean awful.
00:46:52Poor Donald.
00:47:09And it got cold.
00:47:18Would you like a rug?
00:47:41I'll ask you a riddle.
00:47:44Yes?
00:47:46What's the difference between the kiss in the dark and the kiss in the heather?
00:47:50Now you must answer.
00:47:53K-I-L-L-I-E.
00:47:58I give up, Donald.
00:48:00And I pay the forfeit.
00:48:06Madam, my son!
00:48:34It's really too cold out here. I'm going in.
00:48:52Do you like to play games?
00:48:54Well, it all depends.
00:48:56Well, I'll ask you a riddle.
00:48:58And if you can't tell me the answer by the time I've spelt Killy Cranky, you must pay me a forfeit.
00:49:03Now what's the difference between the thistle in the heather and the kiss in the dark?
00:49:07Now wait a minute, my dear. Give me time to think.
00:49:09K-I-L-L-I-E.
00:49:13C-R-A-N-K-I-E.
00:49:29I've seen you before.
00:49:32Yes, I think you have.
00:49:33We played games together.
00:49:35Yes. You're very fond of games, aren't you?
00:49:37I love them.
00:49:38But you always seem to play the same one.
00:49:40Oh, it's only a means to an end.
00:49:43I understand. And I apologize.
00:49:47Apologize for what, fair lady?
00:49:49For having misjudged you.
00:49:51Your champagne, Peggy.
00:49:52Oh, yes. Let's go inside.
00:49:55It's suddenly become very cold. I'm shivering.
00:49:59Goodbye, Donald.
00:50:00But I'm not Donald.
00:50:01No, you're not Donald. I thought you were.
00:50:03Go tell somebody else the answer to the riddle.
00:50:15Oh, look. Look. Look at that Scotchman. Isn't he marvelous?
00:50:20Who are you, beautiful Highlander?
00:50:23I am a ghost. I am the ghost of Glowery Castle.
00:50:28If you please, sir, look this way. It won't be a moment. Now.
00:50:32Smile.
00:50:33Smile? Why?
00:50:35Keep that inferno machine away.
00:50:37Oh, but what happened?
00:50:39I don't know.
00:50:40Well, he's disappeared.
00:50:42What the...
00:50:43The most amazing thing I've ever seen.
00:50:52Wake up. The most unusual thing has happened.
00:50:54No, no, wake up.
00:50:55The man has disappeared in the ballroom. They say it's a joke.
00:50:58I've just seen a man in a mask.
00:51:00Oh, don't you wake me up after midnight with a silly story like this.
00:51:06Is it all fools day to day?
00:51:08I haven't touched liquor the whole night. He won't frighten me, I tell you.
00:51:13Donald, I don't want you to come in here. Get out.
00:51:16I'm sorry, Peggy, but I can't do it any longer.
00:51:18I told you there's nothing to explain. Get out.
00:51:20Now, listen to me, Peggy.
00:51:21One thing I will not accept, and that is your complete misunderstanding of what has happened.
00:51:25Did you see someone in an ancient Scottish costume?
00:51:28I saw you and heard you.
00:51:30No, you didn't. Oh, I know it isn't easy to believe, but what you really saw wasn't a man of flesh and blood at all.
00:51:35It was a...
00:51:36A ghost! A ghost! There's a ghost on this ship!
00:51:38Where?
00:51:39Of course there is, Mrs. Martin.
00:51:41I won't have your horrible castle.
00:51:43You can take back every one of your cursed stones.
00:51:46Murderer, be quiet.
00:51:47And you can keep the money, too. It's all you wanted of us.
00:51:50Come on.
00:51:51What's the trouble?
00:51:52That's him. That's him.
00:51:54Your wife's seen the ghost.
00:51:56Nonsense.
00:51:57Let's have a drink.
00:51:59It's the truth, Mr. Martin. The ghost of Gowrie Castle's on this ship.
00:52:04And that Miss Shepperton tells me that she saw him, too.
00:52:07Well, out of consideration for your wife's feelings, I think we'd better call the deal off.
00:52:11What?
00:52:12Just because a couple of nervous women thought they were seeing something?
00:52:15But they did. You've got to believe it.
00:52:18I'll believe it when I see the ghost myself.
00:52:21Now, you run along, Donald, and leave Mrs. Martin to me.
00:52:24All right.
00:52:26I'll fix everything.
00:52:27All right.
00:52:30Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where the ghost is?
00:52:33Oh, you'd really like to see him?
00:52:35Yes, sir.
00:52:36My newspaper's all over the world. We'll be wanting photographs.
00:52:39I'll do my best.
00:52:40Hey, Medoc!
00:52:42Now, get your camera ready. He may be here any moment.
00:52:49Good evening, Donald Gowrie.
00:52:54Oh, good evening, Medoc.
00:52:57Are you afraid of me?
00:53:01I haven't been afraid of you since I was a child.
00:53:04I want to tell you that I'm gravely dissatisfied with that which has come to pass.
00:53:08You are dissatisfied?
00:53:10I suppose you know you've ruined my one chance to do something with my life.
00:53:14Your life?
00:53:17Wait until you've been through some centuries as I have.
00:53:20Haunting, looking for something, and never finding it.
00:53:24Say, Donald, I want to...
00:53:29Say, now I'm seeing things.
00:53:32No, Mr. Martin, there really are two of us.
00:53:34Allow me to introduce my ancestor, Medoc Gowrie.
00:53:37Ancestor?
00:53:39Yes, my good man. I am the Gowrie ghost.
00:53:43No.
00:53:45You're... You're kidding.
00:53:48Who is this strange-spoken fellow?
00:53:51Oh, this is the new owner of Gowrie Castle.
00:53:54He's going to rebuild it in America.
00:53:56Aren't you, Mr. Martin?
00:53:59Yes. Stone by stone and panel by panel.
00:54:04Good. It will be pleasant to have a home again.
00:54:08Good night, my friend.
00:54:11Here, Mr. Martin. Sit down. Sit down.
00:54:20Have a drink of the best.
00:54:23Yes, sir. A drink of the best.
00:54:33It's out of the whiskey.
00:54:35But Mrs. Martin thinks differently, sir.
00:54:37There's nothing to do but tear up the contract.
00:54:40Breaks my heart to do it.
00:54:43But my wife's wishes are sacred.
00:54:47Mr. Gowrie, again I congratulate you.
00:54:50And you too, Joe.
00:54:51The wireless is humming with news of the phantom.
00:54:54It'll be a big story in New York.
00:54:56But don't think you can fool me with any publicity stories about your haunted castle.
00:55:01No, it isn't publicity. It isn't my castle anymore.
00:55:05I've given it back to them.
00:55:07Is this true?
00:55:08Yes, I'm afraid it is.
00:55:10My wife made me do it.
00:55:12Well, I don't mind telling you, Mr. Gowrie,
00:55:15that I'd be interested in buying your castle and your performing ghost.
00:55:19Really? For how much?
00:55:23Have a cigar.
00:55:26Wait. I accept.
00:55:28But no one ever paid so much for a front page story about a ghost.
00:55:32Front page story?
00:55:34What are you doing?
00:55:35The whole of America is going to learn that a ghost has crossed the Atlantic
00:55:39to advertise the superior merit of the Bigelow chain...
00:55:42What? You want to use the ghost of my castle for your nasty cheap publicity?
00:55:47Tough luck, Joe. You never should have let it go.
00:55:50Have you sold it to him?
00:55:51Sorry, but you didn't want it.
00:55:53Who says I didn't want it?
00:55:55How much is this crook willing to pay you for it?
00:55:57$100,000 precisely.
00:56:01Some will say I've been over-generous, but that's the way I am.
00:56:04I'll give you $125,000.
00:56:06Look here, Joe. You can't do that.
00:56:08See here. My daughter discovered this place,
00:56:11and I won't have her discovery exported to advertise Bigelow's chain groceries.
00:56:16But your wife will never consent.
00:56:18My wife has nothing to do with this now. This is business.
00:56:21All America will soon know that a ghost has crossed the Atlantic
00:56:25to advertise the superior quality of Martin's fine food.
00:56:31Take over your head, Mr. Martin.
00:56:33Take over your head, Mr. Martin.
00:56:35Take over your head, Mr. Martin.
00:56:48Congress of the United States of America
00:56:50has the duty to call the attention of every American citizen to this outbreak,
00:56:54to import a ghost into our progressive country,
00:56:57to allow our spirit to be the free air of the United States,
00:57:01which might be acceptable in the elite atmosphere of the British House of Lords,
00:57:05but not here.
00:57:06Yes, my noble lords.
00:57:08The fairest flowers of Scottish architecture are being uprooted from their native soil
00:57:13to be replanted in an alien land
00:57:15where the very spirit of Scotland has been prohibited for years.
00:57:19Not enough this, my noble lords.
00:57:21Not only our castles, but also our ancestors,
00:57:24who are being shipped over to please the fancy of a millionaire
00:57:27who apparently has no ancestors of his own.
00:57:30Not enough, gentlemen, the importation of an alien building,
00:57:33but an alien ghost is also being imported.
00:57:36What do our immigration authorities say about this?
00:57:39What does the great city of New York say?
00:57:41They accord a civic welcome to this relic of medieval superstition.

00:59:16Hey, watch out!
00:59:19Hey, what are you doing in here?
00:59:21Hands up or I'll shoot!
00:59:24© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:59:47Father.
00:59:48Yes, my son?
00:59:50I don't like America.
00:59:52It's worse than the day of the battle.
00:59:55Then I will allow you to remain invisible
00:59:58until the opportunity comes for revenge.
01:00:03But if it never comes...
01:00:05That is your eternal misfortune.
01:00:22© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:00:52© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:01:07I never dreamed they would make it look so beautiful and new.
01:01:11I hope the ghost hasn't found out where they put it.
01:01:15Don't worry, they won't recognize it with all those palm trees.
01:01:18There's father!
01:01:20Hello, father!
01:01:23Do I look like a real Scotchman now?
01:01:25Almost.
01:01:27You're good at controlling your enthusiasm.
01:01:29I'm glad you changed your mind and came down with the big ceremony.
01:01:33I didn't come down for that, I came to see you.
01:01:36What's the idea of the gondola?
01:01:38It's just a European touch.
01:01:43Look at that chandelier.
01:01:45I had it made especially in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
01:01:48It's a lot better than all those old smelly chandeliers.
01:01:51Don't you think we did a good job with the reconstruction?
01:01:54Yes, Donald, I think you did a good job.
01:01:57The modern improvements were all Mr. Martin's idea.
01:02:00But did you really get rid of that ghost?
01:02:03Oh, we did much better than that.
01:02:06We tamed him, didn't we, Donald?
01:02:10Even so, I don't want him in my house.
01:02:15What's that?
01:02:17Nothing to be afraid of.
01:02:19It's a radio.
01:02:26It's kind of cute, isn't it, Donald?
01:02:28I'm afraid I don't fully understand the meaning of the word cute.
01:02:31You sound to me like another one of those enthusiasm controllers.
01:02:35Like Peggy, she doesn't like my hat.
01:02:38Is Peggy here?
01:02:39Yes, she just arrived.
01:02:41Come on, I'll show you around.
01:02:44It's going to be absolutely the most magnificent illumination in the history of Florida.
01:02:50Are you coming, Donald?
01:02:52Oh, thanks, I'll join you later.
01:03:09What are you saying?
01:03:11Open the window!
01:03:13You were right, Peggy.
01:03:14I should never have let them turn this castle of mine into an advertisement for groceries.
01:03:18I've made a fool of myself, Peggy.
01:03:19And all because I love you.
01:03:22If I could talk as well as Murdoch, I'd have told you long ago that I love you.
01:03:25But now, tomorrow, I must go.
01:03:27Tomorrow, I'll be able to say goodbye.
01:03:29But I want you to hear that.
01:03:31What was that, Donald?
01:03:33What were you saying?
01:03:34Well, I...
01:03:35Donald!
01:03:36The motor's leaking into the wine cellar.
01:03:39Come and have a look.
01:03:40All right, Mr. Martin.
01:03:41Oh, I was only trying to tell you that tomorrow I must go.
01:03:45Donald!
01:04:12Now we'd better rehearse that again.
01:04:14Now, you understand?
01:04:16When I say, silence, don't you hear a strange noise?
01:04:21Yes, sir.
01:04:22Careful.
01:04:23Silence!
01:04:25Don't you hear a strange noise?
01:04:31Sounded perfect, Bob.
01:04:34Donald, you stop behind that chair.
01:04:37Yes?
01:04:38Well, what do I do then?
01:04:39Well, you say something like, uh...
01:04:41Joseph J. Martin, and guess?
01:04:44I greet you.
01:04:46I'm sorry, Mr. Martin, but the glowery ghost wouldn't come here especially to extend greetings.
01:04:50Well, okay, say whatever you think's suitable.
01:04:52But you'd better run along and get dressed now,
01:04:54because it's 10.30, and the supper will be starting soon.
01:04:57And remember, you don't come in until you hear the tray fall.
01:05:00On the line, don't you hear a strange noise?
01:05:05That's right, you've got it.
01:05:10Mr. Bigelow!
01:05:15Who is it?
01:05:17Mr. Bigelow!
01:05:22Mr. Bigelow, would you care to make a statement?
01:05:24What kind of a statement?
01:05:25We're going to broadcast these events tonight.
01:05:27Oh, very interesting.
01:05:28The radio audience wants all possible angles on the ghost.
01:05:30Well, I'll tell you, boys, my angle is this.
01:05:33When my good friend Joe Martin bought this castle from Mr. Donald Glowery,
01:05:36it was understood that a ghost went with it.
01:05:38You see, Mr. Donald Glowery is a Scotchman, and the Scots are a clever race.
01:05:42Then I can quote you as saying that the ghost is a fraud?
01:05:45Oh, I'm not saying that, not precisely that.
01:05:49Mr. Martin, if you don't mind my saying so,
01:05:51I don't think that costume is quite appropriate to a serious scientific meeting like this.
01:05:56Why, what do you mean?
01:05:57I have to be faithful to the spirit of this old castle, don't I?
01:06:00And besides, I know no one in the United States who has a better right than me
01:06:04to a genuine Scots costume.
01:06:06Good evening, Joe.
01:06:07Oh, hello, Ed.
01:06:08Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. E. L. Bigelow, who does not believe in ghosts.
01:06:17Say, why did you put on a disguise?
01:06:19In honor of your friend the ghost.
01:06:21Let me tell you, Ed Bigelow, tonight's meeting is scientific.
01:06:25It is not a fancy dress party.
01:06:28Oh, I'm quite aware, Joe, of the importance of the gathering.
01:06:31But why your own disguise?
01:06:33I've just been explaining that no one in the United States has a better right.
01:06:37And now, folks, we're going to hear some real Scots music.
01:07:04Dad!
01:07:05Oh, hello.
01:07:06Oh, you're all dressed up.
01:07:08Are you coming downstairs?
01:07:10I might come down later.
01:07:11Is Donald there?
01:07:12No, he's gone.
01:07:16Gone? Where?
01:07:18I don't know.
01:07:20Away.
01:07:21But he didn't tell me he was leaving tonight.
01:07:24Well, you see, he was in a hurry, and so am I.
01:07:26Are you really coming down?
01:07:28No, I don't think I will.
01:07:30Well, I think you're right.
01:07:31It'll be terribly dull.
01:07:32Good night, Peggy.
01:07:33Good night, Dad.
01:07:41Well, Donald, they're all here, including Ed Bigelow.
01:07:44We're going to have a fine time.
01:07:45Fine for you, perhaps, but for me...
01:07:47Well, all you've got to do is come in, look like the ghost, and then leave.
01:07:51I know, but it makes me feel such a fool.
01:07:53You're not backing out, are you?
01:07:54Oh, no, I promised to do it, and I shall do it to the best of my ability.
01:07:58I have a little present for you here.
01:08:00Look.
01:08:01Oh, yes, thanks very much.
01:08:03But I haven't been able to get any whiskey out of it.
01:08:05Well, I don't believe you examined it very closely.
01:08:10Nice idea, isn't it?
01:08:14You like it?
01:08:15Oh, yes, I love it.
01:08:31I can hardly wait to see Ed Bigelow's face when you blow him.
01:09:02Oh, that's enough.
01:09:04That's enough.
01:09:07The music is beautiful, but we mustn't have too much of it.
01:09:10That's true, but why do you have any at all?
01:09:13Oh, you don't know about that.
01:09:15You see, it's an old Scot's custom during dinner.
01:09:18I don't see Mr. Donald Glowery.
01:09:20No, he's gone away.
01:09:23Oh, I see.
01:09:24I thought perhaps that empty chair at the end of the table had been saved for him.
01:09:28That chair has been reserved for our guest of honor, Murdoch Glowery,
01:09:33who died 200 years ago.
01:09:59Murdoch?
01:10:01Murdoch Glowery?
01:10:05Aren't you afraid of Murdoch Glowery?
01:10:08I couldn't be afraid of anyone I'd known for such a long time.
01:10:12I'd like to talk to you, Murdoch Glowery.
01:10:15But what can a beautiful young girl have to say?
01:10:18I'm not afraid of you, Murdoch Glowery.
01:10:21I'm not afraid of you, Murdoch Glowery.
01:10:24But what can a beautiful young girl have to say to a dreary old ghost?
01:10:29When I first saw you that night in the old castle,
01:10:32I didn't know what... who you were.
01:10:36Do you remember?
01:10:38Yes, I remember, Peggy.
01:10:41It's the first time you've called me by my name.
01:10:44When you say it, it sounds as if you really were Donald.
01:10:47But if he were speaking to you, you wouldn't listen.
01:10:50Oh, he won't speak to me again.
01:10:52Oh, he won't speak to me again.
01:10:54He's gone.
01:10:56He wasn't very much interested in me.
01:11:00I think you're mistaken, Peggy.
01:11:02Why do you think that?
01:11:04Well, because I know him.
01:11:06He's one of those stupid men who are afraid to be sincere.
01:11:09He thought you were laughing at him.
01:11:11I guess I was stupid, too.
01:11:13I couldn't say what was in my heart.
01:11:16But if he were to come back and say what's in his heart,
01:11:19that he loves you...
01:11:21If he loved me, he wouldn't have gone away without saying a word to me.
01:11:25Oh, but he wants to say a lot of words to you,
01:11:27and he may not be very far from here.
01:11:29What would you say to him, Peggy?
01:11:33I would tell him that I love him.
01:11:35But he won't come back.
01:11:37He will come back, Peggy. I promise you.
01:11:52Silence!
01:11:55Don't you hear a strange noise?
01:12:00He's seen him. The butler's seen him.
01:12:02Look sharp, everybody. He's about to appear.
01:12:04Quiet. We must have quiet.
01:12:06I don't see a thing.
01:12:08No, but you will.
01:12:09Well, I've got my glasses on, but I don't see anything unusual.
01:12:12Where is he?
01:12:13That's funny.
01:12:14I distinctly heard sounds like...
01:12:16like rattling of chains and moaning.
01:12:18Chains and moaning?
01:12:20Yes. Possibly the ghost was just passing near here.
01:12:23But he'll be back later.
01:12:25Maybe the phantom's wristwatch is slow,
01:12:27and he doesn't know it's past midnight.
01:12:30Why don't you send one of the servants to page him?
01:12:35We are bringing you a broadcast of the big reception
01:12:38for the famous Phantom of Glory Castle.
01:12:41Outstanding amongst the guests is Mr. E.L. Bigelow,
01:12:44who expresses the opinion that the whole ghost story
01:12:46is no more than a gigantic hoax.
01:12:49Mr. Bigelow has made personal investigations
01:12:51which indicate that the Glories are not really a great Scotch family.
01:12:55Mr. Bigelow follows this with several other accusations
01:12:58against Mr. Martin and Mr. Donald Glory.
01:13:00He has asked us, however, not to make these public
01:13:03until the end of tonight's experiment.
01:13:11What's the matter, Joe?
01:13:12Do you hear some more groans or moans or clankings?
01:13:16Well, the ghost is here somewhere,
01:13:18I guess he's got lost.
01:13:20I'll go and find him myself.
01:13:22Try whistling for him.
01:13:27Why, Donald, I thought you were gone.
01:13:31There's been some mistake.
01:13:33In fact, a rather serious mistake.
01:13:35Ladies and gentlemen, I think I can inform you
01:13:38that we shall see no phantom tonight.
01:13:40Forgive me, Mrs. Martin, but there's something I must say to Mr. Bigelow.
01:13:43Well, go ahead and say it, my friend. I'm listening.
01:13:46It had better be said outside.
01:13:48Then I'm afraid you'll have to wait until I'm ready to leave.
01:13:51Oh, I see that you and Joe are wearing the same tartan.
01:13:54You belong to Martin's Fine Foods clan.
01:13:58Don't you talk to him about tartans.
01:14:00He's a real Scotchman.
01:14:02Possibly.
01:14:03But I happen to be connected with a family
01:14:05far more important than the Glories.
01:14:07I've never heard of the clan Bigelow.
01:14:09Oh, no, this tartan belongs to the clan of my mother's ancestors
01:14:13of which I am the last representative.
01:14:15It's the tartan of the distinguished clan McLagan.
01:14:19Did you say McLagan?
01:14:21Yes, McLagan. Take your hands off me.
01:14:23Maydock, Maydock, did you hear that?
01:14:32Where is this McLagan?
01:14:35Right there, the fellow with the gills.
01:14:37Very good job, Mr. Glory.
01:14:40Very amusing, indeed.
01:14:43Get away from me.
01:14:51McLagan, I told you to get away from me.
01:14:54I don't like practical jokes.
01:14:57You're not scaring me.
01:15:14Turn, McLagan.
01:15:23Now, will you have the goodness to repeat these words after me?
01:15:26Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir, anything you say, sir.
01:15:29In the name of every McLagan
01:15:31whoever disgraced the fair name of Scotland.
01:15:37In the name of every McLagan
01:15:39whoever disgraced the fair name of Scotland.
01:15:43I humbly apologize for the insult to my superiors, the Glouries.
01:15:50I humbly apologize for the insult to my superiors, the Glouries.
01:15:55And I freely admit
01:15:59that one Glourie
01:16:03can thrash 50 McLagans.
01:16:07Can thrash 50 McLagans.
01:16:10Can thrash 50 McLagans.
01:16:12Now, touch the floor with your nose.
01:16:22Farewell, last of the McLagans.
01:16:33Father, father, is that enough?
01:16:36Yes, my son, your mission is fulfilled.
01:16:41And now, if you wish,
01:16:43you may join your noble ancestors in heaven.
01:16:48I do wish,
01:16:50but I have grown very, very weary of this earth.
01:16:57Thank you, Donald, for finding me a McLagan.
01:17:00It was a pleasure, Murdoch.
01:17:02And now I suppose you're believing us.
01:17:04Yes, I'm very happy to go.
01:17:07I leave you now to defend the honor of our great name.
01:17:12Farewell, last of the Glouries.
01:17:17Farewell, kinsmen.
01:17:23Now, smile, smile. The reporters are here.
01:17:26They want you to make a statement about that famous fraud, the Gloury Ghost.
01:17:30Is it true that you saw it, Mr. Bigelow?
01:17:31What did he look like? Did he say anything?
01:17:34Leave him alone, boys.
01:17:36Leave him alone. He's not feeling so good.
01:17:39From now on, I want you to see
01:17:41absolutely the finest display in the history of Florida,
01:17:44provided my markings find proof.
01:17:47And now, Ruffles,
01:17:49when will you tell me the answer to the riddle?
01:17:51I can't tell you the answer,
01:17:53but for the honor of the Glouries,
01:17:55I must give you back the forfeit.
