01:05The End
01:33The End
02:19Oh Andy, you go outside and see that everything's locked up tonight.
02:26All right.
02:27Congratulations.
03:17Stay where you are.
03:19Hello, Whitey.
03:22I thought you had ten more years to serve.
03:25Yeah.
03:27But I was so anxious to get square with you that I busted out.
03:31I could have knocked you off when I first come in.
03:33But I had to face the judge when he handed me my rap.
03:36I want you to do the same.
03:37You're crazy.
03:39Maybe stir crazy.
03:40If I am, I got you to blame for it.
03:43I've been laying up there in a pen while the Black Raven's been doing pretty good for himself.
03:48You're a partner when the dough was rolling in.
03:50But when the law cracks down, you don't know me from a yellow dog.
03:54All of a sudden, you got too smart to take orders.
03:58When I saw what was coming, I protected myself.
04:03Why should I get in the jam?
04:04Because you're a fool.
04:06That's your story.
04:07The way it looks from where I stand.
04:10You double-crossed me so you could grab the works.
04:14You could be wrong about that.
04:17Yes.
04:18And I could be right.
04:28You weren't satisfied with a 50% cut.
04:31So now I'm going to give you a 100% pay off.
04:39Andy, come here, quick.
04:44All right, go easy, man.
04:45Don't break his neck.
04:46I wanted to make sure I had him.
04:48No doubt about that.
04:51You don't know his own strength.
04:54Take him to my room.
04:55Bring him along.
04:59Put him in that chair.
05:11What's the matter?
05:12Didn't he like the service?
05:13You're suffering from rabid delusions aggravated by a moronic mentality.
05:18Is that bad?
05:19Might prove fatal.
05:21I hope it ain't catching.
05:23Let up on me, Raven.
05:24I won't bother you no more.
05:26I'm quite sure you won't bother me anymore.
05:29What are you going to do with me?
05:30You still got another 10 years to serve.
05:32That'll keep you busy for a while.
05:34Don't turn me in.
05:35I'll promise to leave the country and never come back.
05:37I'd be a fool to take a chance on trusting you when I don't have to.
05:41Let's go.
05:45Let's go.
06:00Let's go.
06:03Let's go.
06:04Let's go.
06:06Let's go.
06:16Let's go.
06:23Let's go.
06:43I'm told you can slip a hot guy across the Canadian border.
06:47I don't think I know you.
06:48I'm Mike Bardoni.
06:50You're the Black Raven.
06:54Have that mug put my car away.
06:56Andy?
06:57Oh, I'd like to dry out sometime tonight.
07:02Maybe you'd like to see today's paper.
07:17Are you rich to please?
07:18I don't think so.
07:19I'm in a hurry to get across the border.
07:21If it's liable to rain all night, you may as well be comfortable.
07:24Well, maybe I'd better.
07:43I don't know.
07:59Mike Bardoni, the big shot, insolid with the state organization, taking the underground
08:05to Canada.
08:07What's the answer?
08:08My racket's paying off big, so Tim Winfield decides to take over and make me an office
08:13boy.
08:14When I don't play that way, he tosses me to the coppers.
08:17I'll come back when the heat cross can settle with him.
08:20Tim Winfield, huh?
08:22He's a bad man to fool with.
08:24Others have learned the hard way.
08:26All right, so it won't be easy.
08:28You think I got what I did by being a cream puff?
08:31How about some grub?
08:32I didn't take time to stop and eat.
08:34I'll see what I can do for you.
09:01Listen, buddy, the bridge is washed out.
09:03You'll have to turn back.
09:04Oh, dear, are you sure I can't get through?
09:07I just said the bridge was washed out.
09:10I'm sorry.
09:11But just a minute, mister.
09:13Are you sure it's impossible to cross?
09:16Listen, buddy, if it was possible to cross, you don't think I would be standing here.
09:21Oh, no, of course not, mister.
09:23But how am I going to get over?
09:26You are nuts.
09:28But is there no other way?
09:30This is a matter of life and death.
09:32Whose, yours or mine?
09:34Oh, please, now you're joking.
09:36There must be other roads.
09:37Sure there is, but they're all washed out.
09:41Well, have you any idea how long it'll be before the bridge will be fixed?
09:46That just depends upon how long this storm is going to last.
09:50But if you must wait a while, there is a little shack down the road belonging to the highway police.
09:56Oh, no, no.
09:57If I have to wait, I'd much rather take a room for the night or until the storm subsides.
10:01Well, then turn back about a mile to a place called the Black Raven.
10:06They might be able to put you up.
10:08Oh, thank you.
10:09You are welcome.
10:28The bridge has been washed out.
10:29You have to turn back.
10:31Do you have any idea how long it'll be before we can get through?
10:34I'm afraid it won't be for some time.
10:36Is there any other way across the border?
10:38No, sir.
10:39All the other bridges have been washed out, too.
10:41Do you know of any place around here that we can stay until the storm blows over?
10:44Yeah, a mile back down the road is a place called the Black Raven.
10:48I'm sure you can get accommodations there for the night.
10:50The Black Raven?
10:51The Black Raven.
10:51Thank you very much.
10:52You're welcome.
10:56What are we going to do?
10:57I don't know, darling.
10:58But we're not going to give up, even if your father's political influence did keep us from getting a marriage
11:03license in this thing.
11:04I wish we hadn't tried to alone.
11:06Why, dear?
11:07Father's a vindictive man, and I'm afraid he'll make trouble for you.
11:11He has no political influence in Canada.
11:13We're not in Canada yet.
11:14No, but we will be.
11:16We'll manage somehow in the morning.
11:18I hope so, before Father catches up with us.
11:20Well, we'd better get out of here before the storm gets any worse.
12:00I beg your pardon.
12:03I beg your pardon.
12:05Yeah?
12:06What for?
12:07I just beg your pardon, that's all.
12:10Don't bother me, screwball.
12:13Are you the proprietor?
12:14No, no, no.
12:16He's out in the kitchen scaring up something to eat.
12:19Good evening.
12:21Did you want a room?
12:22Yes, the highway bridge was marched down.
12:25So I heard.
12:27Let me take these.
12:28Oh, never mind.
12:29I'll carry these.
12:31All right.
12:32This way, please.
12:42Can you register, please?
13:00Going to Canada?
13:04Yes, I thought I'd spend my vacation up there.
13:07Excuse me.
13:14All right.
13:16Why don't you watch what you're doing?
13:18Sorry, pal.
13:19I hope I didn't break your bottle of cologne.
13:24I'll show you up your room.
13:32Oh, Andy, there's another car outside.
13:34One's putting away.
13:35Another one?
13:38This keeps up, I'll never get dry.
13:40Will it only have a cutial car?
13:43Oh, yes, of course.
13:46You come with me.
14:00Nasty weather for traveling.
14:02I'd consider that an understatement.
14:03The bridge is washed out, you know.
14:04I know.
14:05Will you register, please?
14:07Yes, thanks.
14:30Miss Winfield.
14:32And to listen to Tim Winfield.
14:34He's my father.
14:35You know him.
14:36By reputation is a very prominent man.
14:39You see we like his blessing.
14:40That's why we're planning on being married across the border.
14:43I can well understand that.
14:49I may as well take you all up at the same time.
14:52All right.
14:55Would you pardon me just a moment.
15:00If you're ready I'll have Andy take you on your way.
15:04Oh there's no hurry.
15:06I'll stick around for a while.
15:08I like it here.
15:10Shoot yourself.
15:13I'm sorry.
15:15This way please.
15:50I'll be with you in a minute Mr. Smith.
16:01I hope you'll find this room comfortable Miss Winfield.
16:08It's very nice.
16:10I can give you a room across the hall Mr. Bentley.
16:13Well that'll be fine thank you.
16:14I'll be with you in just a minute.
16:19I'm terribly afraid.
16:20Now everything is going to be all right darling.
16:22We'll cross the border and be married in spite of Mr.
16:25Winfield and all his henchmen.
16:31Remember don't worry.
17:13Thanks for following me up here Tim.
17:17I didn't follow you.
17:19What you do means nothing to me.
17:21I wouldn't be surprised if you change your mind about that.
17:23I don't like to be kicked around.
17:25You are draw your hat Mike.
17:27There's no one the organization can't get along without.
17:30I'm glad to hear that.
17:31Because they may have to get along without you.
17:38Well.
17:38Well.
17:41Seldom I have such a distinguished guest as Mr.
17:44Winfield.
17:45You know me.
17:46I've had business with you.
17:48Indirectly.
17:50Seems I've gotten wet.
17:52Yeah my car went into the ditch.
17:53Had to walk half a mile or so.
17:55Oh that's too bad.
17:58But on this level mind why don't you while your coat dries.
18:00Thanks.
18:01That may help me from catching cold.
18:10What business did you have with me indirectly.
18:14I don't think you'll be interested in talking about that now.
18:18Excuse me when I get a ticket for myself.
18:45Well there's another car out front Mr.
18:49Oh pardon me I thought it was Mr. Bradford.
18:53Andy come here.
18:57Mr. Bradford there's another car out front.
19:00Never mind about that that prisoner escaped.
19:02You've got to search the house from top to bottom you've got to find him.
19:04Who searched for who he may be dangerous.
19:07He is very dangerous that's why you must find him right away.
19:10And that don't make me anxious to find.
19:21Where's Bentley I've been trying to catch up with him.
19:24I don't give information about my guests you know who I am.
19:28You've got to cooperate with me if you hope to stay in business.
19:38I warned you to stay away from my daughter.
19:40You brought her here.
19:41That's right.
19:42As soon as we reach Canada we're going to be married.
19:44You'll never get to Canada.
19:46Look here Mr.
19:48Lee and I love each other.
19:49Not even you can stop us.
19:55I could kill you for that.
19:57A lot of people have felt that same way about me.
20:00But I'm still very much alive.
20:02I hope for Lee's sake that you and I might someday be reconciled.
20:06But I won't take that not even from her father.
20:08You'll take more than that.
20:10I haven't even started on you.
20:12Lee isn't quite 21.
20:14And I'm going to have you prosecuted for kidnapping.
20:17I'll make sure you get the limit.
20:19Andy.
20:20Don't stand around there do what I told you.
20:22Don't stand around there do what I told you to do.
20:24Yes sir.
20:33Connect me with the headquarters of the state police.
20:36That's what I said the state police.
20:41What's going to happen.
20:43Why is father calling the police.
20:45Call out the Marines if he could to keep us from getting married.
20:51Operator.
20:53Operator are you asleep.
20:57This phone's dead.
20:59It's all right a minute ago.
21:01You probably noticed there's a bad storm going on.
21:05Anything could happen.
21:13Once more I forbid you to marry this fellow.
21:15And I expect to be obeyed.
21:16You've no right to allow a stubborn prejudice to interfere with my happiness.
21:20I'll be the judge of that.
21:21We'll go to your room and you'll stay there till I can take you home.
21:25You were a fool to think you could put anything over on me.
21:27We'll see.
21:50Keep your chin up.
21:51Race car will always be against you.

25:19until they were
25:19next Saturday
25:21and traveling back and forth to work in that crowded subway with its smell of sweat and garlic
25:27all I could think of was fresh air and the out of doors

25:35that money goes back where it belongs
25:38I can't give it back now that I've gone this far

26:49Oh, my God.
27:26Oh, my God.
27:26They jumped from behind.
27:28Who?
27:28A whole bunch of them.
27:33They can put out of that clothesline and you won't be attacked anymore.
27:37Oh.
27:38Well, it could have been a fellow that tried to kill you.
27:41How was that?
27:43Leave out the back stairs.
27:45I'm going to look around here for a while and I'll meet you on the second floor.
27:47Oh.
27:51Oh.
27:57Oh.
27:59Oh, my God.
28:29Oh, my God.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:28It's none of my business.
29:30It might be a good idea if you were to keep out of sight for a while.
29:34I'm not running away.
29:49I found the dead man.
29:50I played near step toward him.
30:13He's dead.
30:16Something must have hit him with a terrific blow on the head.
30:18It gives me a funny feeling when I seen him laying there at your room.
30:21For a minute, I thought it was you.
30:23Did you look around to see if anyone was hiding in the room?
30:25No, sir.
30:26As soon as I seen that corpse, I left right now.
30:32Let me out!
30:33Let me out of here!
30:35You better stay here.
30:37Somebody let me out!
30:41Somebody let me out of here!
30:46What happened?
30:48Why is everybody so excited?
30:49Your father met with an accident.
31:10You don't think that I should.
31:12Oh, no.
31:14No.
31:14You couldn't have...
31:26Oh, dear.
31:26How awful.
31:27How did it happen?
31:29Evidently, someone didn't like it.
31:33How awful.
31:36What happened?
31:39Oh!
31:40Oh, dear.
31:43Oh!
31:44Oh, dear.
31:47Oh, dear...
31:47Oh, dear.
31:48Oh, dear.
32:06Nobody upstairs one of our guests he was to be missing. Yeah how about that
32:12thought it's time to register John Smith. Well there's your murderer might be.
32:43Go and see if any of the cars are missing and make sure that none leave. Yes.
33:02Come on in and shut the door. Where's that money. Is that the 64 dollar question. Quit stalling.
33:16That little shrimp at 50 grand in a satchel and Winfield took it away from him. And then
33:20what. Somebody's got that money now. And it could be you. So you killed Winfield. We won't
33:28worry about who killed Winfield. Where's that dough. I don't know. Thank you for telling
33:33me about it. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Maybe that young fella got himself a wedding
33:39present the hard way. Anything's possible but I don't believe that's the answer. But
33:43where's that money now. It isn't a pigeon that could fly home by itself.
34:11I don't wonder they wouldn't keep that cellar door locked before somebody breaks their
34:15neck. What is it this time. Someone down the cellar. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
34:45You. You. You. You. You.
34:45You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.

35:14That's right, but he won't need them now.
35:16No, why not?
35:17Because he's like the phone.
35:20Dead.
35:21Dead.
35:22Died kind of sudden, didn't he?
35:24I think he was murdered.
35:26Murdered?
35:27Well, you act like that's nothing to get excited about.
35:30Where's the body?
35:31I'd have to go upstairs.
35:33All right, lead the way.
35:34Don't any of you leave this room.
35:54There he is.
36:01Who is it?
36:02Tim Winfield.
36:05Tim Winfield?
36:07He's one of the big men in the state.
36:09They've got to land someone for this murder.
36:12That ought to be easy for a man of your ability.
36:16Don't you worry about my ability?
36:20What do you know about this murder?
36:22No more than you do at the moment.
36:24Well, I'll decide about that later.
36:27Who found the body?
36:28Andy.
36:29He was looking for an escaped convict.
36:33So you think you can explain this murder
36:35by pulling an imaginary convict out of a hat?
36:38Oh, I thought you could do better than that.
36:41Let's go downstairs.
36:42I want to talk to Andy before I do any more investigating.
36:45I want to talk to Andy before I do any more information about this murder.
37:05Did you find the body, Andy?
37:07Uh-huh.
37:09You sure he was dead when you found him?
37:11Well, he didn't say whether he was or not.
37:13And I didn't stop to ask no questions.
37:16Hey.
37:16You ain't thinking maybe I done it.
37:18Never mind what I'm thinking.
37:19You answer my question.
37:20Well, I didn't have no reason to kill nobody.
37:23But he did.
37:24To keep his death from being arrested for kidnapping.
37:26They had a fight right here in this year room.
37:28And I heard him say he could kill the other fella.
37:34No, you had a fight for the court, huh?
37:36My father objected to Alan and I being married.
37:39That was all.
37:40Let him answer my question.
37:41And I'm warning you, whatever you say can be used against you.
37:45Where were you when the murder was committed?
37:47Right here in this room.
37:48Who was with you?
37:49No one.
37:50I was alone.
37:51Well, that's not much of an alibi.
37:54The corpse was trying to call the state police to have you arrested for kidnapping.
37:59Well, if you can't beat that for a motive, I guess we can call this crime solved without much trouble.
38:06You're more stupid than usual, Sheriff.
38:09That boy isn't a murderer.
38:12Maybe you're mixed up in this, too.
38:14I've had my suspicion about your business here at the tavern for a long while.
38:18Yes, I noticed that.
38:19It's been very amusing.
38:21Yeah, well, maybe it won't be so funny one of these days.
38:25You come with me while I finish looking around upstairs.
38:28You better stay here, darling.
38:30No, I'm going with you.
38:31Don't stand there and argue.
38:33Come on.
38:39It's too bad you weren't born without a tongue instead of without a brain.
38:43Well, I didn't want him to think I'd done it.
38:45All right, he doesn't think you've done it, so get out.
38:48Yes.
39:09You're not planning on having John Law get me out of your way, are you?
39:13You're not in my way.
39:15I'm not going to have that boy take a rap for a murder he didn't commit.
39:19Oh, the Ravens turn soft all of a sudden.
39:21He just wants to get the kid out of the jam.
39:24He's not a bit interested in the 50 grand.
39:27Believe it or not, that's the way it is.
39:29I don't believe it.
39:30That doe's around here someplace and nobody elbows me out of the way.
40:00I don't think I'll do it in your way.
40:09I beg your pardon, what's the idea of pushing me down the stairs?
40:26I really didn't push it.
40:29Maybe it was an accident.
40:31What do you want in hell?
40:32You have the keys to my car. Will you give them to me, please?
40:35No.
40:36Mr. Bradford says no one's to leave here.
40:38But the sheriff has the murderer. There's no longer any need for the rest of us to remain.
40:43Mr. Bradford says no one leaves, and no one leaves until he tells me different.
40:46But I'm afraid to stay here. I know there's going to be more violence, and my nerves can't stand that
40:51sort of thing.
40:51Ain't no use arguing.
40:52If I can stand it, you can. Come on, get out.
40:57What did you hit him with?
40:58You'd better confess. It'll save me the trouble of looking for the murder weapon.
41:02And it'll be easier on you.
41:04I have nothing to confess.
41:06He couldn't do a thing like that, Sheriff. You must believe him.
41:08The lady, you've got to cooperate with the law or keep quiet.
41:12If you would allow anyone to cooperate, you might not make such a fool of yourself.
41:15When I want your advice, I'll ask one.
41:18You're going to have my advice whether you want it or not.
41:20You're trying to pin a murder on the wrong man.
41:23You said that sure he's innocent. Maybe you're guilty.
41:26Maybe I am. You don't know that I'm not.
41:29Are you confessing to the murder?
41:31Certainly not. I'm only trying to point out that you don't know who's guilty.
41:35You're just trying to confuse me, that's all. He's guilty.
41:38And I'll have no trouble to convict him.
41:42Come on, get in there. You know better than I am.
41:44No, you stand.
41:46Where did Winfield go when he took that money away from you?
41:48I don't know what you're talking about.
41:50Quit stalling. I heard the whole thing.
41:51Maybe Winfield hid that money someplace.
41:53Where'd he go?
41:54I don't know.
41:56Hey.
41:58Did you kill Winfield?
42:02Don't say a thing like that again.
42:05Somebody might think you meant it.
42:15Why don't you confess and take life instead of the chair?
42:18I tell you, I have nothing to confess.
42:20Oh, now, you're just being foolish, that's all.
42:22You can't beat this case.
42:24Tim Winfield's got a lot of important friends.
42:27And they'll make it their business to see that you're convicted.
42:31You've run out and run!
42:43You've done that on purpose!
42:44Don't tell him you're sorry. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
42:46Don't tell him. Don't tell him.
42:51Don't tell him.
42:52Don't tell him.
42:52Don't tell him.
43:09Don't tell him, but I know.
43:22I'm sorry he made that break.
43:24It makes it look worse for him.
43:26It's his only chance.
43:27That crooked political bunch would be only too glad to railroad him
43:31to get him out of the way.
43:33Yes, that's true enough.
43:35We've got to find the murderer.
43:38You wait in your room till I see what can be done.
43:52You wait in your room till I see what can be done.
43:57I'm sorry.
44:01I'm sorry.
44:05I'm sorry.
44:11I'm sorry.
44:13I'm sorry.
44:15I'm sorry.
44:20I'm sorry.
44:21But God was always going to give me a nice one
44:38I love you.
44:42Here you go.
44:48See you.
