00:00:00In the year 716 A.D., when Buddhism was first accepted in Japan, three monkeys were fashioned
00:00:18from a secret alloy and placed in the Iemitsu Temple.
00:00:22They were hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
00:00:31The formula of this alloy was then destroyed and remained a secret for centuries, until
00:00:35it was rediscovered by modern civilization and called brass.
00:00:41In the 19th century, the warlords ravaged the land and the monkeys disappeared from
00:00:45the temple.
00:00:46To the collector or religious fanatic, the value of these brass monkeys is beyond compute.
00:02:46Come in.
00:02:53Is your baggage ready, sir?
00:03:12Sterling area in sight.
00:03:14Right, Stuart.
00:03:15Would you mind tallying up those bags for me?
00:03:18Yes.
00:03:19I'd, um, put these cigarettes in your overcoat pocket if I were you, sir.
00:03:24England, you know, England home and duty to be paid on every blinkin' thing.
00:03:28You know our customs.
00:03:29Stuart, will you give me Sheldon my message?
00:03:32I didn't like to interrupt her, sir.
00:03:34She's up on deck with Mr. Levis.
00:03:36Levis?
00:03:37Yes, sir.
00:03:38The wireless gentleman.
00:03:39Yes, I know.
00:03:40You needn't advertise him.
00:03:41Peace.
00:03:42Peace.
00:03:43Earth is peace.
00:03:44You know, when you came on board, I said, there's Carol Levis.
00:03:45Carol on holiday.
00:03:46Peace and solitude's what he wants.
00:03:47I thought you'd want to avoid show people.
00:03:48Never.
00:03:49And never you.
00:03:50Say, uh, what happened to that show you were in out east?
00:04:02It went west.
00:04:03I couldn't have stayed with it anyway since I'm going to be married.
00:04:07You're not going to give up your career.
00:04:10Well, that's Max's idea.
00:04:11Come on, Carol.
00:04:12Let's get some exercise, huh?
00:04:13There's only one thing I hate more than exercise.
00:04:14I know.
00:04:15More exercise.
00:04:16Come on, baby.
00:04:17I'm exhausted.
00:04:18You can't give up now.
00:04:19I am.
00:04:20Charming, my dear.
00:04:21A charming exhibition.
00:04:22I hate to interrupt you.
00:04:23Really?
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:25I'm sorry.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry.
00:04:28I'm sorry.
00:04:29I'm sorry.
00:04:30I'm sorry.
00:04:31I'm sorry.
00:04:32I'm sorry.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:34I'm sorry.
00:04:35I'm sorry.
00:04:36I'm sorry.
00:04:37I'm sorry.
00:04:38I'm sorry.
00:04:39Liar.
00:04:40You saw it clearly, Max.
00:04:41We'll be docking in a few hours.
00:04:42Haven't you better see to your packing?
00:04:43That is if Mr. Levis will excuse you, of course.
00:04:44Of course.
00:04:45So, please.
00:04:46See you a little later Carol, darling.
00:04:53Charming exhibition of extremely bad manners, Max.
00:04:57You behave like a school boy.
00:04:58You don't really believe I'm jealous of Carol Levis, do you?
00:05:01It's what he represents, I mind.
00:05:03Theatrical.
00:05:04Show business.
00:05:05All that kind of nonsense.
00:05:06But it's not nonsense, Max.
00:05:07It's part of my life.
00:05:08Part of my world.
00:05:10But we agreed that you were going to give up your career.
00:05:12That was your idea.
00:05:14But you are going to give it up.
00:05:15And all the people that go with it.
00:05:20If those are your sentiments, I suggest we call the whole thing off here and now, Max.
00:05:23Oh, please, Kay.
00:05:25Don't let's quarrel about anything so unimportant as Carol Leavitt.
00:05:28Carol is a very old friend of mine, and I have no intention of dropping him or any of my other friends.
00:05:33Darling.
00:05:34Please try and understand.
00:05:36The theatre is a part of your life that I don't share.
00:05:38That's what I'm really jealous of.
00:05:40That's why I asked you to give it up.
00:05:43Yes?
00:05:44Oh, excuse me, madam. I thought if you had any baggage packed, I could get it on deck.
00:05:48Yes, you can close them up and take them along. Thank you, Stuart.
00:05:55By the way, there's something I forgot to pack.
00:05:58Put it in your handbag.
00:05:59What is it?
00:06:00Just a brass monkey.
00:06:01A good luck mascot I picked up.
00:06:03Speak no evil, eh?
00:06:04That's right.
00:06:05Try to remember that.
00:06:06I will.
00:06:13And you think about what I said.
00:06:15I'm thinking very hard.
00:06:32Who is he, Skipper?
00:06:33Let me have a look.
00:06:52Excuse me, Mr. Levis.
00:06:53Miss Sheldon said would you please come to her cabin, sir?
00:06:55Okay, I'll be right along.
00:07:04Yes, it's a man named Jenkins, I think. One of the deckhands.
00:07:07A deckhand? That boy's terrific.
00:07:09I'd like to give him a broadcast. He should go right to the top.
00:07:12He can't go much higher.
00:07:14You better sign on a new deckhand for your next trip.
00:07:28Come in.
00:07:30Is it safe?
00:07:32No, I'm alone.
00:07:34All ready to dock?
00:07:35Mm-hmm.
00:07:36Except I'm superstitious about half-empty bottles lying around.
00:07:41Farewell drink, Carol.
00:07:42And many more to come.
00:07:46Kay, how would you like to be the guest star on our program tomorrow night?
00:07:49I'd love to, Carol.
00:07:51We should arrive in London about two o'clock.
00:07:53How about coming to my office later this afternoon?
00:07:56Try and stop me.
00:07:57That's the spirit.
00:07:58Bring some music with you. We'll pick out a number for you to do.
00:08:00Right.
00:08:02You've always been so sweet to me, Carol.
00:08:05Hey.
00:08:06Well, get him.
00:08:08Speak no evil.
00:08:10Have you hear no evil and see no evil?
00:08:12Can't expect a girl to have all the virtues.
00:08:14Cute, isn't he? I could go for him.
00:08:16You could?
00:08:17Mm.
00:08:18Well, you keep him in remembrance of me.
00:08:20I get the resemblance.
00:08:22Flatterer.
00:08:23Go on, put him in your pocket.
00:08:26A drink to the show.
00:08:31Get out of this cabin.
00:08:33Now, Max, really...
00:08:34Get out.
00:08:35Now, wait a minute. If you want to play rough...
00:08:36I said get out of here.
00:08:37Now, listen to me.
00:08:38I've known Kay a whole lot longer than you have.
00:08:40And unless Kay tells me she doesn't want to see me again,
00:08:42I'll see her where I like and when I like.
00:08:44So don't try pushing me around if you want to collect your old age pension.
00:08:47I'll turn you inside out.
00:08:49In fact, you might look better that way.
00:08:51Thanks for the drink, Kay.
00:08:53May I take the luggage, madam?
00:08:55Yes, Stuart.
00:09:23Heading an appointment?
00:09:25I'm sorry, but Mr. Gilroy never sees anyone without a...
00:09:28Oh, it's you.
00:09:32All right, Miss Hamilton.
00:09:34Very well, sir.
00:09:37Well, Peter?
00:09:39Max's ship docks at Southampton today.
00:09:42Splendid.
00:09:43Well, I'll see you later.
00:09:45Goodbye.
00:09:46Goodbye.
00:09:47Goodbye.
00:09:48Goodbye.
00:09:49Goodbye.
00:09:50Goodbye.
00:09:51Goodbye.
00:09:53Then it would seem our troubles are nearly at an end.
00:09:56As we've got to get it through the customs,
00:09:58it would seem that our troubles are just beginning.
00:10:01I have the greatest admiration for dear Max's ingenuity,
00:10:04but perhaps you're right.
00:10:07We must consider our eminent buyer,
00:10:10Mr. Ryder Harris's most impatient client.
00:10:13If Max falls down on this one...
00:10:15The most unfortunate for Max.
00:10:19Let's meet the boat.
00:10:22You are, Peter, so impetuous.
00:10:24Much as I should like to accompany you,
00:10:26I have my prestige to consider
00:10:28as London's most exclusive and reputable dealer in the fine arts.
00:10:31And biggest fence.
00:10:35Don't be coarse.
00:10:36You meet the boat by all means.
00:10:38It isn't you understand that I mistrust friend Max in any way,
00:10:42but as you imply,
00:10:44is trust enough?
00:10:46You wouldn't trust your best friend.
00:10:49My dear boy,
00:10:51I am my best friend.
00:10:53But if you choose to watch Max...
00:10:57I'll keep the other eye on him.
00:11:16I'll keep the other eye on him.
00:11:34Pleased to be home again, Mr. Levis.
00:11:36And how. Thanks for the very pleasant trip, Captain.
00:11:38Not at all.
00:11:39Oh, about that singing singer of yours,
00:11:40when's he coming on our program?
00:11:42I'm afraid he's not.
00:11:43Eh?
00:11:44He must.
00:12:15You all right?
00:12:16Yes, I'll manage.
00:12:17Right, I'll see you on the train.
00:12:18Right.
00:12:30These are mine.
00:12:31Oh, anything on this list to declare, sir?
00:12:33Any Nylons, perfume, lipstick, nail varnish?
00:12:36Hey, what do you take me for?
00:12:38Oh no, I meant as gifts.
00:12:39All right, I'll attend to this gentleman.
00:12:41Well, well, well.
00:12:43Inspector.
00:12:44Always bumping into each other, aren't we?
00:12:47What is it this time, Mr. Taylor?
00:12:49Currency? Dope? Jewelry?
00:12:52Come on, open up.
00:13:01Right, through here.
00:13:13All right, madam, you're okay.
00:13:15Why, thank you, sir.
00:13:27Feeling hot, Mr. Taylor?
00:13:29Well, it is a trifle warm, Inspector.
00:13:31Then you must come to my office and cool off.
00:13:33Get the lining out.
00:13:36Don't let your enthusiasm make you spiteful.
00:13:43Here we are, sir.
00:13:47Mr. Leavis!
00:13:48Oh, Mr. Leavis!
00:13:49Wait!
00:13:50Wait, Mr. Leavis!
00:13:53Anger, what are you doing here?
00:13:55I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Leavis.
00:13:56I had a little trouble with the clock.
00:13:57You know, that summertime.
00:13:58I never know whether to take an hour off the end
00:14:00and put it on the beginning or an hour off the beginning
00:14:02and put it on the end.
00:14:03So I took an hour off both ends and got here yesterday.
00:14:05I nearly missed you.
00:14:06Oh, I mean, I have missed you.
00:14:07Have you missed me?
00:14:08It's one of you to meet me, Abel, but...
00:14:09Oh, that's right, Mr. Leavis.
00:14:11I mean, either I'm your secretary or you're not, aren't we?
00:14:12I mean, if a secretary can't meet the train
00:14:13that brings her own bread and butter...
00:14:14Abel, come into my compartment.
00:14:15Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Leavis.
00:14:16I've come to drive you back by car.
00:14:17Car?
00:14:18But I didn't know you could drive.
00:14:19Oh, I drove down from London.
00:14:20Had a lesson while you were away.
00:14:21One lesson?
00:14:22Well, he didn't call it a lesson.
00:14:23Oh, the instructor was so funny.
00:14:24Always kidding.
00:14:25He kept going, ah!
00:14:26And then he gave me my money back
00:14:27and said he couldn't teach me anything.
00:14:28Well, Abel, how about your driver's test?
00:14:29Did you pass out?
00:14:30Oh, you know I never swoon.
00:14:31But you should have seen the examiner.
00:14:32Well, come on, Mr. Leavis.
00:14:33But I like trains, Abel.
00:14:34I love trains.
00:14:35Oh, I port her.
00:14:36Don't worry, Mr. Leavis.
00:14:37Your mind's quite made up.
00:14:38Bring the luggage out here.
00:14:39Here, I'll take this.
00:14:40Abel, I prefer trains.
00:14:41Well, I don't.
00:14:42Nasty, noisy things.
00:14:43Besides, look at the time we'll save.
00:14:44And cold.
00:14:45The car's just over there.
00:14:46Or is it over there?
00:14:47Gosh, I've forgotten where I put it now.
00:14:48I don't suppose you even brought one.
00:14:49Oh, but I must have done.
00:14:50The griefer couldn't have walked, could I?
00:14:51I don't know.
00:14:52I don't know.
00:14:53I don't know.
00:14:54I don't know.
00:14:55I don't know.
00:14:57Such a suspicious nature.
00:15:01Feeding horse, Inspector?
00:15:03You can get dressed.
00:15:04Found anything?
00:15:06Not a sausage.
00:15:08How about you, sir?
00:15:11No.
00:15:12I must be getting too old for this job.
00:15:26Shall I mark his luggage?
00:15:27Oh, I suppose so.
00:15:41All in, miss.
00:15:42All in.
00:15:43A big, strong man like you.
00:15:45Thank you, miss.
00:15:46Blimey.
00:15:47What, no cotton?
00:15:48Avril.
00:15:49That's a button.
00:15:50A button?
00:15:51Good grief, where did that come from?
00:15:53I'll skip it.
00:15:54Thanks, Boris.
00:15:55Thank you, sir.
00:16:03There.
00:16:04Speaking of buttons, one of these usually starts something.
00:16:06It must be another Avril Angers.
00:16:08It's not that one.
00:16:20Be careful, Mr. Leavitt.
00:16:26You're in here, sir.
00:16:33Thanks for meeting me, Peter.
00:16:34I never knew you cared.
00:16:36What was all that sign language at the barrier?
00:16:38Don't tell me the girl's got you.
00:16:39Clever little chap, aren't I?
00:16:41Are you mad?
00:16:42I would have been if I held onto it.
00:16:43You saw what happened to the customs.
00:16:45Who is she?
00:16:46She's been very useful.
00:16:48In fact, congratulate me, chum.
00:16:50I think I'll marry the girl.
00:16:51Listen, you fool.
00:16:53I thought you'd be pleased.
00:16:54All correct, sir.
00:16:57Thank you, sir.
00:17:00That monkey's dangerous out of our sight.
00:17:02I'm just as interested in 60,000 quid as you are, my son.
00:17:05Does she know about it?
00:17:07Peter, really.
00:17:08Who is she, anyway?
00:17:09What do you know about her?
00:17:11Listen, she could go straight to Gilroy with that monkey,
00:17:13and then he will have all three.
00:17:15If you think I...
00:17:16Abel Cross is his middle name.
00:17:18He'd sell to Ryder Harris in a minute,
00:17:19and then neither you nor I would see a penny.
00:17:21Listen, Peter.
00:17:22Kay knows nothing about monkeys.
00:17:24She's never heard of Gilroy.
00:17:25Her only racket is show business.
00:17:27All right, then.
00:17:28Get it back now, quick.
00:17:29I'll wait.
00:17:30Take your seats, please.
00:17:32I don't think you trust me.
00:17:38I'll see you at Gilroy.
00:17:39With the monkey.
00:17:51What on earth happened to your luggage, Max?
00:17:53The customs people took a fancy to it.
00:17:55Certainly looks it.
00:17:56I was just unlucky.
00:17:57It might have happened to anyone.
00:17:59I should have held on to my mascot.
00:18:01I think I'd better have it back.
00:18:03Your mascot?
00:18:04The brass monkey.
00:18:06But you gave it to me, Max.
00:18:08Oh, no, my dear.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:10Well, I...
00:18:12I'm afraid you'll have to get a new mascot.
00:18:19Kay?
00:18:20Mm-hmm?
00:18:21The monkey.
00:18:23I want it, darling.
00:18:26Please give it back.
00:18:27Oh, Max!
00:18:28I'm sorry.
00:18:35It's not there.
00:18:38Where is it?
00:18:39I don't know what all the excitement's about,
00:18:41but if you must know, I gave it away.
00:18:43You gave it to... to who?
00:18:45Carol Levis.
00:18:46You gave it to Carol Levis?
00:18:48Why not?
00:18:49Wasn't of any value, was it?
00:19:02Mr. Levis, have you no confidence in me at all?
00:19:05I've been studying this map all day.
00:19:06I can drive to London with my eyes shut.
00:19:08Try driving to London with your eyes open.
00:19:10Avril, look up there.
00:19:12Mr. Levis, that sign's pointing the wrong way.
00:19:14Avril, we're on our way back to Southampton.
00:19:16We can't be.
00:19:17It's an optical conclusion.
00:19:18Look, you can see we're on the right road by this map.
00:19:19This?
00:19:20There's a map of Scotland.
00:19:21Yes, I know.
00:19:22They were all out of maps of England.
00:19:24Oh, turn around, Avril.
00:19:25Right around.
00:19:26Mr. Levis, we're taking an awful chance.
00:19:27Without that map, we might get lost.
00:19:30Well, then.
00:19:31Mr. Ryder Harris will be here by half past 5.
00:19:34Now, I don't want to know why you haven't the monkey.
00:19:36I don't even want to know who has it.
00:19:38But what I do want to know is that it
00:19:40will be here by 5 o'clock.
00:19:42Now, listen, AJ.
00:19:43I told you.
00:19:44Kay has an appointment with Levis this afternoon.
00:19:46She'll get it back.
00:19:47You know a lot of things, don't you?
00:19:49You might even know something that you haven't told us.
00:19:52I think something should be done about you.
00:19:54One day, Peter, if you're not careful, you'll smile.
00:19:56When I do, you'll be careful.
00:19:59My favorite comedian.
00:20:00Oh, shut up.
00:20:01This Kay, Miss Sheldon.
00:20:03Since when, my dear Max, have we had women working for us?
00:20:06Women and business don't mix.
00:20:08She got it through the customs for us, didn't she?
00:20:09Yes, and she gave it away for us, too.
00:20:11Or did she give it away?
00:20:13Or did she know the value of that ape?
00:20:15Doesn't mean a thing to her.
00:20:17Yet one wonders if somehow she knew that Mr. Rider-Harris
00:20:20had spent most of his life and his fortune
00:20:23searching for the monkeys.
00:20:24Of course not.
00:20:26So it's just a coincidence that when eventually they
00:20:28fell into his hands out east, she happened to be there
00:20:30with a theatrical company?
00:20:31Now, look here, AJ.
00:20:32Which means that she was there when
00:20:34the monkeys were stolen from him.
00:20:36Does she know who stole them?
00:20:38But she's never heard of you.
00:20:40She's never heard of any of us.
00:20:41So, and yet if she knew the price Mr. Rider-Harris
00:20:43has offered for their recovery, and the two of the monkeys
00:20:45are in my safe, there's no risk without the third.
00:20:47But how could she?
00:20:49Perhaps her fiance told her.
00:20:50I don't like that.
00:20:51Now then, Max, Peter, get out of my chair.
00:20:55Must not forget, Max, that young Peter incurred
00:20:57grave danger smuggling his monkey into the country.
00:20:59My responsibility with mine was not without risk.
00:21:02But all our efforts are put in jeopardy
00:21:04by your apparently casual handling of the third monkey.
00:21:07But, AJ, do be reasonable.
00:21:09The complete set is worth 60,000 pounds to us,
00:21:12incomplete nothing.
00:21:13Give me till 5 o'clock.
00:21:15Certainly.
00:21:16I will even go so far as to give you until 5.15.
00:21:20That should be all right.
00:21:22Should be, dear boy?
00:21:24Must be.
00:21:25I'm very fond of you, Max.
00:21:28Very fond indeed.
00:21:30I should be extremely upset if anything happened to you.
00:21:365.15 then.
00:21:39Trust me to have it here.
00:21:41Trust you?
00:21:43Of course we trust you, my dear Max.
00:21:45Why not?
00:21:56AJ.
00:21:58Yes?
00:22:00If I deliver that monkey myself,
00:22:03will we share his cut?
00:22:06The fewer people to share that 60,000 pounds, the better.
00:22:30I'm most frankly sorry, everybody, but Mr. Levis has vanished.
00:22:33Just completely vanished.
00:22:35Just completely and utterly vanished.
00:22:41I can only ask you all to wait, my dears.
00:22:43What else can I do?
00:22:45I'm completely distracted and utterly exhausted.
00:22:52If you'll just bear with me a few moments,
00:22:55I'm sure he'll be here any minute.
00:22:57Mr. Carol Levis?
00:22:59You've news of him?
00:23:00Quickly, tell me.
00:23:01I want to see him.
00:23:02You want to see him?
00:23:03My dear, so we are...
00:23:07Very nice act, dear, but too visual for radio.
00:23:16Do wait for Mr. Levis, please.
00:23:18I'm just a waste of time.
00:23:20Where is Levis? I must see him at once.
00:23:22Mr. Levis, if you please.
00:23:24You must see him. What about us? We've been waiting for hours.
00:23:26Come on, ladies.
00:23:27I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:23:31Okay, that's enough, please.
00:23:33Please be quiet.
00:23:37Excuse me.
00:23:38Bonjour.
00:23:39I is Terry Thomas.
00:23:41How do you do?
00:23:48Mr. Rodney.
00:23:49Mr. Thomas.
00:23:50Thank God you were here first.
00:23:52Ladies, please, you've got to help me.
00:23:54I can't find Mr. Levis,
00:23:56and all these people are waiting for auditions.
00:23:58Relax, Rodney, old boy.
00:24:00Give it to Uncle Terry.
00:24:01So, you want to go on the stage, do you?
00:24:06You think it's easy, don't you?
00:24:07You think it's all beer and skittles.
00:24:09But you're wrong.
00:24:11Take ballet.
00:24:14A pretty little antique.
00:24:16As a lover, you must really be romantic.
00:24:21Come with me to the Casbah.
00:24:24You'll have to unravel yourself first.
00:24:27The whole thing very often drives you frantic.
00:24:32In this absolutely incredible business of ours,
00:24:35to all soprano singers, I would like to give advice.
00:24:37You must practice, practice, practice.
00:24:39Get those top notes clear and precise.
00:24:42La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:24:45Perfect.
00:24:47Perhaps at last you'll get a job.
00:24:49You think it'll be fun.
00:24:50You're sitting on top of the world, old boy.
00:24:52No, no.
00:24:53It's a real heart-breaking business,
00:24:55and your trouble's just begun.
00:24:59Early morning train calls.
00:25:00Little work with little pay.
00:25:01Up and down the eighths and stairs
00:25:03to say, hold on, say, not today.
00:25:05Graffiti rooms without a fire with little food to spare.
00:25:07Boasting to the other acts of work that isn't there.
00:25:10Pressing flip-flap trousers.
00:25:11Washing tattered smalls.
00:25:12Endless hours rehearsing in dirty little halls.
00:25:15The note is up. The show is through.
00:25:16The whole thing starts again.
00:25:17I can't go on. I can't go on.
00:25:19It's driving me insane.
00:25:20I've said it a thousand times before.
00:25:21I can't go on again.
00:25:23But...
00:25:25It's the greatest business in the world
00:25:29with the finest people that you can meet.
00:25:33Footlights, greasepaint, all the lot.
00:25:36Bunch them together.
00:25:38What have you got?
00:25:40The grandest feeling in the world
00:25:43where you're accepted for what you're worth.
00:25:47Race or creed or color doesn't mean a thing.
00:25:50It's the greatest in the world.
00:26:03Coming through the garden lot.
00:26:09The grandest feeling in the world
00:26:13where you're accepted for what you're worth.
00:26:16Race or creed or color doesn't mean a thing.
00:26:19It's the crazy business.
00:26:21The crazy business.
00:26:23The greatest business in the world.
00:26:28You see? I said we're vacant, Mr. Levis.
00:26:30Only two hours late.
00:26:31Thank heavens we're back to the peace and quiet of the office.
00:26:35Hello, Rodney.
00:26:36Mr. Levis, at last.
00:26:38Are you all right?
00:26:39No, I'm not all right.
00:26:40You put me down!
00:26:42I must see you about tomorrow's broadcast.
00:26:44Terry, I'm in a terrible mess.
00:26:45Do you mind if I call you later?
00:26:46All right. See you at the club.
00:26:49I'm sorry about the hold-up, kids.
00:26:51We won't be long now.
00:26:52Avril!
00:26:53I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Levis.
00:26:55We had such fun on the way up.
00:26:56Got lost, ran out of petrol, had a flat tire.
00:26:58What do you think? I've forgotten the spare.
00:27:00I'm sure he must have enjoyed that.
00:27:02It nearly killed him.
00:27:08Dear, those people ring up now.
00:27:10Hello, how are you?
00:27:11Who are you?
00:27:12Who?
00:27:13Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:14I can't hear a word you're saying.
00:27:16Oh, hello!
00:27:18Yes, yes, we're fine.
00:27:19You're coming over? Good.
00:27:21You want to bring who?
00:27:22Fiend?
00:27:23Anyone I...
00:27:24Oh, a friend, yes.
00:27:26Yes, sure, bring him.
00:27:27Yes, bring them all.
00:27:28Bye.
00:27:30Who was that?
00:27:31I don't know who it is, Mr. Levis.
00:27:32He'll be here soon. You can ask him.
00:27:34Take those glasses off, girl.
00:27:35There's nothing wrong with your eyesight.
00:27:37I know, but don't you think they give me that sort of air of quiet deficiency?
00:27:40What's this?
00:27:42Oh!
00:27:43Oh, it's a little monkey.
00:27:44What's it for?
00:27:45It's supposed to be a good luck mascot, but you've certainly put a jinx on it.
00:27:48Oh, did I? I'm sorry, I'll rub it off.
00:27:50Well, if this is your good luck, we'll have to take care of it.
00:27:52See, now, where can we put it?
00:27:54How many times must I tell you?
00:27:56Nothing but auditions today.
00:27:58Mr. Levis won't get finished as it is.
00:28:00Now, listen, office boy.
00:28:02Pardon me.
00:28:03I'm Miss Sheldon.
00:28:04I have an appointment with Mr. Levis.
00:28:06Are you a discovery, Miss Sheldon?
00:28:08Well, I'm a discovery.
00:28:10I have an appointment with Mr. Levis.
00:28:11Are you a discovery, Miss Sheldon?
00:28:13Well, I was.
00:28:14Then you still are.
00:28:15Once Mr. Levis discovers people, they stay discovered.
00:28:18So there's not the slightest point in your bothering him again.
00:28:20But I have an appointment.
00:28:22Oh, they all say that.
00:28:24I really have.
00:28:25They all say that, too.
00:28:27Now, see here.
00:28:28If you don't take my name into Mr. Levis right now,
00:28:30I am going to beat you over the head with this ruler.
00:28:33Do they all say that, too?
00:28:35Okay, Rodney, send in the...
00:28:37Kay, darling, come right in.
00:28:41Would you mind putting up with a few auditions, Kay?
00:28:43Some of these people have been waiting for hours.
00:28:45Oh, certainly not.
00:28:46If they won't mind my being here.
00:28:47You'll inspire them.
00:28:48I might even pick up a few tips.
00:28:50Make yourself comfortable.
00:28:51Hello, Carol.
00:28:52Have a good trip.
00:28:53Terrific.
00:28:54Why, hello, Kay.
00:28:55But how lovely to see you.
00:28:57Hello, Kay.
00:28:58Avril, how are you?
00:28:59There's only one thing wrong with Avril.
00:29:01She breathes.
00:29:02I do not, Mr. Levis.
00:29:03Come on, Avril.
00:29:04Let's get on with the auditions.
00:29:05Send in the first discovery.
00:29:06All right, Mr. Levis.
00:29:07Oh, by the way, while I think of it, Carol,
00:29:09remember that brass monkey?
00:29:10Why, yes.
00:29:11Well, Max has been raising the roof
00:29:13ever since I gave it to you.
00:29:14He would.
00:29:15I hate having to ask for it back.
00:29:16It's a pleasure, sweetheart.
00:29:17He's welcome to it.
00:29:18Here's the first one, Mr. Levis.
00:29:20He's right at the door.
00:29:21Okay, come in.
00:29:22Sit down.
00:29:23Make yourself at home.
00:29:24Don't be nervous.
00:29:26I'll try not to be.
00:29:28All right, Avril, let's get started.
00:29:30Name?
00:29:31Skip it.
00:29:33Address?
00:29:34Skip it.
00:29:35What a coincidence.
00:29:36Okay, Avril.
00:29:37Do you do an act?
00:29:38An act?
00:29:39Something like that.
00:29:41What do you do?
00:29:42I can tell the past and the future.
00:29:45You can?
00:29:46Cards, cups, or crystals?
00:29:48Act?
00:29:49Crystals.
00:29:50Oh.
00:29:51Well, let me see.
00:29:54You are Carol Levis.
00:29:56No.
00:29:58You've just had a long sea trip.
00:30:01I can see you getting off a boat at Southampton.
00:30:05Yes.
00:30:06You went to London by car, but you had lots of trouble on the road.
00:30:10You ran out of petrol.
00:30:12You got lost.
00:30:14You had a puncture.
00:30:16Right?
00:30:17That's right.
00:30:18Go on.
00:30:19Why such a lot of bad luck?
00:30:21Oh, what's this?
00:30:22Can't quite make it out.
00:30:24Looks like a small animal.
00:30:28Dog or something.
00:30:29That must be the darn monkey.
00:30:31Of course.
00:30:33Yes, that's right.
00:30:34A brass monkey.
00:30:36Kind of a talisman, right?
00:30:39Absolutely.
00:30:40Physic.
00:30:41Must be very powerful.
00:30:43Now, let's see.
00:30:44How does it affect your future?
00:30:46Tell that I have to hold a monkey in my hand.
00:30:50Have it?
00:30:51Why, yes.
00:30:52Oh, Avril, you had it last.
00:30:54Where is it?
00:30:55Oh, where's what?
00:30:56Think back, Avril.
00:30:57I know it's a long time for you.
00:30:58But 10 minutes ago, you picked a small monkey off my desk here.
00:31:01You said you'd put it away safely.
00:31:02Oh, that monkey.
00:31:03Why didn't you say so?
00:31:04You know, sometimes you're very confusing.
00:31:06Well, where is it?
00:31:08Um, where is it?
00:31:09Yes.
00:31:10I hope you haven't lost it.
00:31:11Oh, no, no.
00:31:12I haven't lost it.
00:31:13I just have to remember where I put it, that's all.
00:31:15Oh, don't worry, Mr. Levis.
00:31:16I'll find it.
00:31:17You see, I put it somewhere I knew it would be absolutely safe.
00:31:20Must have been a good place.
00:31:21I can't even find it myself.
00:31:22I'm not late enough.
00:31:24I don't know what's the matter with me.
00:31:25You know, my mind is a complete blank today.
00:31:33Oh, of course.
00:31:34You remembered?
00:31:35Yes, the monkey.
00:31:36I couldn't think what we were looking for.
00:31:37What have I done to deserve this?
00:31:43Please, please, Mr. Levis.
00:31:45This is no time to play hunt the thimble.
00:31:48Not one solitary discovery discovered yet,
00:31:50and you've got to put it away.
00:31:52And you've got to broadcast tomorrow night.
00:31:54Okay, Rodney.
00:31:55Sorry, everybody.
00:31:56We'll have to forget the monkey.
00:31:58What monkey?
00:31:59You're the cause of all this.
00:32:00Mr. Levis, do you want to see this man?
00:32:02He jumped my cue most frightfully.
00:32:05If you don't mind, I'll have to see you some other time.
00:32:07Oh, do come on.
00:32:08All right, Mr. Levis, some other time.
00:32:11Soon.
00:32:18Girls, I want five minutes absolutely alone with Kate to rehearse.
00:32:21All right, Mr. Levis, it's your office.
00:32:23I'll buzz you when I want to.
00:32:29I've had along several numbers, Cal.
00:32:31Oh, I like this one.
00:32:37I know myself too well
00:32:42To admit that it's over
00:32:48I know myself too well
00:32:52To call it a day
00:33:03And what do you do?
00:33:04No, don't tell me I know.
00:33:06You shoot that apple off his head.
00:33:09Sometimes.
00:33:12You'll be first.
00:33:14You can wait.
00:33:16And then you.
00:33:17And you're next.
00:33:18And then you.
00:33:19And yes, sir, is there something...
00:33:21Sir, where are you going?
00:33:22You can't go in there.
00:33:25What's the big idea?
00:33:27Mr. Levis, I presume.
00:33:29That's right.
00:33:32I really don't know how you can work with all this noise, Mr. Levis.
00:33:35It's the interruptions that hold me up.
00:33:37Keep quiet out there, Rodney.
00:33:39Allow me to introduce myself and come quickly to the point.
00:33:41I can't.
00:33:43My name may be familiar to you.
00:33:45But I can assure you that it is very well known indeed in art circles throughout the world.
00:33:49Not only as a dealer have I deprecate the word, but as a collector.
00:33:53If you're trying to sell something, Mr. Gilroy, I'm not buying.
00:33:56I'm selling nothing, Mr. Levis.
00:33:58On the contrary, I'm here to try to save you the embarrassment of the police.
00:34:03The police?
00:34:04You happen to be the receiver, unwittingly I'm sure, of a stolen objet d'art.
00:34:08I am here to collect it.
00:34:10But that's ridiculous.
00:34:11Madam, I said unwittingly.
00:34:13A certain objet was stolen from its rightful owner.
00:34:16It has been traced to you.
00:34:17What objet?
00:34:18A small brass monkey.
00:34:20Oh, now really, this is too much.
00:34:22If you will surrender it, the owner agrees to stop further police investigation.
00:34:26A man of your standing, Mr. Levis, can hardly afford to become involved with the police.
00:34:31I take it you have it here.
00:34:33It's here somewhere, but it's lost.
00:34:35Now get out.
00:34:36I'm sick of all this monkey business.
00:34:38If you don't leave me alone with Miss Shelton, so help me, there'll be murder in this office.
00:34:41Oh, that dreadful person.
00:34:43If you don't get out of here at once, I shall have to use force.
00:34:50You have my card.
00:34:52I shall expect to hear from you very soon.
00:34:58Remember, Mr. Levis, stolen property.
00:35:03Good day.
00:35:05Stolen property?
00:35:06Don't you touch it.
00:35:08Perhaps I should hand in my resignation, Mr. Levis.
00:35:10I've had ever such a nice offer from the third program.
00:35:13I can't seem to control...
00:35:14Keep calm, Rodney.
00:35:15We've had enough trouble in here.
00:35:16Trouble?
00:35:17In here?
00:35:18There's about to be a revolution out there.
00:35:20I'm sorry about this, Kay.
00:35:21Let's put off the rehearsals later tonight.
00:35:23What do you say?
00:35:24I say, I'd be delighted.
00:35:27Okay, laughing boy, let's get cracking.
00:35:29Avril, get Pip, eh?
00:35:31The ten o'clock suits you all right?
00:35:33Yes, ten o'clock would be perfect.
00:35:40Now look here, Mr. Gilroy.
00:36:05When those monkeys were stolen from me in the Far East,
00:36:07you assured me that you would negotiate their recovery.
00:36:10I agreed to the price you asked.
00:36:12Where are they?
00:36:13My dear Mr. Ryder-Harris...
00:36:14And don't my dear Mr. Ryder-Harris me.
00:36:17Sir, you must have patience.
00:36:19Did you or did you not telephone to me
00:36:21that those three monkeys would be here at half past five?
00:36:23I was assured they would be, unfortunately.
00:36:25Unforeseen circumstances.
00:36:26Unforeseen circumstances.
00:36:28These are no commonplace bric-a-brac
00:36:30to be treated in a casual manner.
00:36:32These are the original monkeys
00:36:34cast for the Higemitsu temple in Japan in 716.
00:36:38This table is 500 years older.
00:36:41Mr. Gilroy, you are ignorant of all that is involved in this.
00:36:45Those monkeys are the earliest known evidence
00:36:48of the introduction of Buddhism to the temples of Japan.
00:36:51To any follower of Buddha, they are beyond human values.
00:36:55Then your interest is purely academic?
00:36:57No, Mr. Gilroy.
00:36:59I am a Buddhist.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:03They came to me as a sacred trust.
00:37:06For their recovery, I would give my life.
00:37:09Or the life of anyone who stood in the way.
00:37:11Those sacred monkeys have witnessed much bloodshed.
00:37:16They saw the massacre of the foreign priests,
00:37:19the invasion of Korea,
00:37:22the pillage of the temples.
00:37:24Yes.
00:37:26They have seen much bloodshed.
00:37:29They may see more.
00:37:33Mr. Ryder-Harris, if you take my advice...
00:37:36I did so.
00:37:37I stopped the police inquiries.
00:37:39I regret it.
00:37:40Go to the police again,
00:37:42and you'll have seen the last of those monkeys.
00:37:44I happen to know the men I'm dealing with.
00:37:47They're crafty and cautious.
00:37:49I'm in a most ambiguous position acting as an intermediary.
00:37:53I dislike the whole transaction intensely.
00:37:58But if you want your pieces back,
00:38:00you must continue to act as those men dictate.
00:38:03I recognize no must.
00:38:05And I will not be dictated to in this matter.
00:38:08My dear sir, you have no alternative.
00:38:14No alternative.
00:38:17Apparently.
00:38:20But only apparently.
00:38:25Thank you, my dear.
00:38:26Perhaps tomorrow I shall be of good use to you.
00:38:28Who knows?
00:38:29Something may even happen tonight.
00:38:31Amazing.
00:38:32You read my thoughts, Mr. Gilroy.
00:38:35Something may happen tonight.
00:38:54Knock-knock, Miss Hamilton.
00:38:56Very good, sir.
00:38:57Good night.

00:41:04Max!
00:41:05Max!
00:41:16I'm sorry, Katie.
00:41:20I'll be all right in a minute.
00:41:23We must call. Carol that gun you killed him no no I didn't I just got here why
00:41:33why did you did he argue with you did he threaten you again I didn't shoot him
00:41:38okay it's not mine I found it on the floor oh of course of course you didn't
00:41:44you couldn't have quickly drop that gun Carol we must think fast before the
00:41:49police get here but I oh I know you didn't but don't you see how it looked
00:41:53to the police why Carol darling don't have them in some trouble here.
00:42:05Dead. I had to shut.
00:42:12Well some it was he did you know him yes his name was Max Taylor he was my
00:42:18fiance. Do you know him so well I know
00:42:23no Mr Levis never saw him before. You find the police I suppose I'm not as a
00:42:29matter of fact I I see.
00:42:47That gun should be useful to maybe some fingerprints on it.
00:42:49Hello Scotland Yard.
00:43:19.
00:43:26Not much doubt about it not the slightest. Stupid joke he made of it he didn't
00:43:31have time to get rid of the gun well both tests are positive sir the bullet was
00:43:35definitely fired from the gun in the office and the fingerprints on the gun are
00:43:38definitely those of Mr Levis I've just paid a visit to the shipping company the
00:43:43girl Sheldon and the fiance Max Taylor came home on the same line she told us
00:43:48that also on board was Mr Carol Levis I thought Levis had never met Max Taylor
00:43:54exactly come on.
00:44:02It's all right there's nothing to be afraid of. Come on my boy tell me what you
00:44:07know that it could serve I understand you overheard
00:44:10a row or something of that sort going on in the Sheldon's cabin that's right so
00:44:14Mr Carol Levis was talking to Miss Sheldon and Mr Taylor walked in on them
00:44:18what happened then well I wasn't listening but I couldn't help hearing it
00:44:24Mr Levis said he'd go on seeing Miss Sheldon as often as he liked anything
00:44:28else yes sir Mr Levis warned Mr Taylor not to try pushing him around I think
00:44:35those were the words he used sir if he meaning Mr Taylor sir wanted to go on
00:44:39living did Mr Taylor make any reply to that I don't think so sir you see I
00:44:46wasn't really listening I just sort of overheard it I see well thank you very
00:44:51much Stuart all right my boy well thank you captain I think we've got all the
00:44:57information we require very upsetting business thank you
00:45:03inspector Miller sir well mr. Levis I've just had a word with the assistant
00:45:10commissioner and quite frankly we're not satisfied in view of the fresh
00:45:15developments brought to light today by detective sergeant Richards have you
00:45:19nothing further to say nothing following the discovery of the body in your office
00:45:24why did you deny you knew Max Taylor I didn't deny it I said they didn't know
00:45:30each other not mr. Levis but you had no time contradicted miss Sheldon's
00:45:34assertion excuse me sir can I make a suggestion isn't it possible that miss
00:45:39Sheldon here was in that office with Levis and a fiancee unexpectedly walked
00:45:44in the men quarreled Levis pulled a gun and shot Taylor her illicit association
00:45:49with Levis would immediately prompted to try and shield him you have a vivid
00:45:53imagination sergeant well we'll soon find out you may go now mr. Levis and you
00:45:58miss Sheldon you'll both hold yourselves at our disposal of course of
00:46:02course thanks inspector it's a big help I'm on the air tonight good afternoon
00:46:06inspector good afternoon
00:46:11goodbye mr. Richards sir I know what you're going to say Richards the case is
00:46:18as you implied a few moments ago obvious the trouble is the assistant
00:46:23commissioner and I see it is that it's too obvious we're convinced there must
00:46:27be a flaw in it somewhere we see no harm in Levis going about his business for a
00:46:32few days we'll never do to make a mistake Levis is extremely popular with
00:46:37the public but you can't oh yes we can he won't get away I've arranged to have
00:46:42him shattered yes but suppose he can there's another reason why I allowed him
00:46:46to walk out of here what's that sir the Levis hour is my wife's favorite
00:46:50program I wouldn't dare go home and face her murder murder murder that's all
00:46:57they think of that's all I think of we shouldn't as if it's not healthy look
00:47:01why don't you tell him you murdered mr. Taylor in self-defiance that's only
00:47:04manslaughter nobody cares about manslaughter oh no it only means about
00:47:0820 years behind iron bars for me oh that's fine you can give up flat hunting
00:47:11and I can catch up on the correspondence I just saw mr. Levis there's nothing

00:47:56the room and mr. skippet and Max Kay said Max wanted it he came here to look for

01:04:26I'm too happy to worry about money Mr. Davis
01:04:28I've found something that every girl dreams of
01:04:31life is so gay, my heart is light
01:04:34and all my world is filled with sweet delight
01:04:37no more searching, no more longing
01:04:40that is the theme of this happy sting I'm a-songing
01:04:45why do I smile, oh why do I binkie
01:04:48why am I merely all the people on your day
01:04:51can't you guess why my heart's going
01:04:54can't you guess why my heart's going
01:04:59you can't, you silly thing
01:05:03I've found a flat
01:05:06though it's just a room and kitchen
01:05:08it's a very modern block
01:05:10there's the weensiest of bathrooms
01:05:12with a double mortise lock
01:05:14it's exactly what I've dreamed of
01:05:16and I hate so to complain
01:05:18but any time you're passing
01:05:20you may hear my sad refrain
01:05:24a-ha ha ha ha, a-ha ha ha ha
01:05:29down below they're learning to play the trombone
01:05:33up above they're practicing some a song
01:05:36in flat 24 there's a musical song
01:05:39maybe in the middle of the wall
01:05:41on my right they're testing an aero engine
01:05:45on my left they're having a free for all
01:05:48and Ambrose's band is playing a one night stand
01:05:51I stand in a flat that is just across the hall
01:05:54All night and day they never stop
01:05:57How can you blame me if I'm blowing my top?
01:06:00Ooh, where oh when I find somebody
01:06:03To come and carry me all the phone
01:06:06Then I'll make it a point to set fire to this joint
01:06:09That I call a home sweet home
01:06:12In the front, they're doing a scene from Hamlet
01:06:15In the back, they'll do anything for a laugh
01:06:18In flat 61, there's a son of a gun
01:06:21Sawing a lady friend in half
01:06:24Number 12 is trying to split the atom
01:06:27Number 9 is doing the highland fling
01:06:30In flat 44, they're tearing up the floor
01:06:33In search of an unexploded thing
01:06:36Day after day, they're on the beam
01:06:39How can you blame me if I sit down and scream?
01:06:42323's been taken by Carol Levis
01:06:45324 never answers the telephone
01:06:48Let me live in a tent and I'll shoot the first gent
01:06:51Who calls it home sweet
01:06:5429 is running a shooting gallery
01:06:5723 is a jitterbug with his gun
01:07:00In six different flats, there are Greek acrobats
01:07:03In the barn, he's drilling down for oil
01:07:06Number 5 is a very polite white Russian
01:07:09Who's nailing his family in a crate
01:07:12A honeymoon pair who never goes anywhere
01:07:15In flat number 728
01:07:18Day after day, it's got me beat
01:07:21What I would like to know is when do they eat?
01:07:24Oh, why, oh, why did I tell my mother
01:07:27That I never, no more, would roam?
01:07:30I'm all over jigger, I'm losing my figure
01:07:32My blood pressure's static, I'm got semiotic
01:07:34They're driving me screwy, it's moiter, I'll suey
01:07:36I don't think I'm right in the zone
01:07:39And they call it, and they call it
01:07:42They call it home sweet
01:07:57We leave Avril Angus to go back to her home sweet home
01:08:00And we come to a big moment in the life of one of my latest radio discoveries
01:08:03A young lad from London
01:08:05He's 69 years young
01:08:07And here he is, Fred Crouch
01:08:12Nice to see you, Fred
01:08:13I hear you have rather a large family
01:08:15Yes, Mr. Levis
01:08:1632 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren
01:08:21Little man, you've had a busy day
01:08:24Well, what are you going to play on your saw for us, Fred?
01:08:26Endearing Young Charms, Mr. Levis
01:08:38Oh, Mr. Levis, I was just going to tell you when I was so rudely corrupted
01:08:41You know, I took all that trouble to find Mr. Gilroy's card
01:08:43What do you think?
01:08:44He's been taken unexpectedly dead
01:08:46How do you know?
01:08:47Well, everybody knows, he was fatally murdered
01:08:49Even those detectives suspect
01:08:51Look, there they are
01:08:55Go wave to them, don't let them think you're a snob
01:08:58Now, who could have murdered Gilroy?
01:09:00Oh, Mr. Levis, of course
01:09:01Fancy leaving your fingernails on the gun
01:09:03Oh, Carol
01:09:05Oh, Carol
01:09:28I know that monkey's at the bottom of those murders
01:09:30Oh, really, Mr. Levis
01:09:31How could a little monkey kill two great big men?
01:09:33First Max, then Mr. Gilroy
01:09:35See, that only leaves Mr. Skipper, doesn't it?
01:09:37Yes, he's the guy I want to see
01:09:59Why, look who's here
01:10:01You remember Peter Hobart
01:10:03Peter Hobart
01:10:05Peter Hobart
01:10:31You've just heard Fred Crouch of London
01:10:32And now, friends, here is someone who has traveled a long way
01:10:34Since we first introduced her to you five years ago
01:10:37Then she was just a shy young girl
01:10:39Today she returns from a tour of the Far East
01:10:41As our guest star, Kay Sheldon
01:10:49Welcome back to good old London, Kay
01:10:51Well, thank you, Carol, and I...
01:10:55What's the matter, Kay?
01:10:56Are you so overcome you can't talk?
01:10:58Oh, no
01:10:59No, I was just going to say I'm very glad to be back
01:11:02You're glad, you're happy, you're in the mood for a song
01:11:04And that's our cue for music
01:11:15I know myself too well
01:11:19To admit that it's over
01:11:24I know myself too well
01:11:29To call it a day
01:11:34I must realize
01:11:37I'm fooling no one with my lies
01:11:41Each time I smile I know my life
01:11:45May I have a word with you, Inspector?
01:11:46May I have a word with you, Mr. Davis?
01:11:52I know myself too well
01:11:56To believe I'll forget you
01:12:01I say that I will
01:12:05But I know so well
01:12:09I know, Inspector, and I agree, it looks bad for me
01:12:12Looks bad?
01:12:13Do this for me, try my idea, and you'll land the murderer
01:12:16What do you say?
01:12:18All right, thanks, Inspector
01:12:20I'll be right back
01:12:23Well, you're not falling for that stuff again
01:12:25No, I say just an affair
01:12:29And tell the world I don't care
01:12:34That if you call I'll be there
01:12:39I know myself too well
01:12:45To believe I'll forget you
01:12:49I say that I will
01:12:52But I know so well
01:12:56I say just an affair
01:12:59And tell the world I don't care
01:13:03That if you call I'll be there
01:13:11I know myself too well
01:13:23I say just an affair
01:13:30Well, Peter Hobart
01:13:32Well, what?
01:13:34So you've got him?
01:13:36Good
01:13:37I wasn't letting him out of my sight
01:13:39Have you got the monkeys?
01:13:40Still looking for your monkeys, sir
01:13:42What have they got to do with this?
01:13:43Everything
01:13:44Come on, hand them over, young man
01:13:47Who are you?
01:13:48My name is Ryder Harris
01:13:50And it's going to give me much pleasure
01:13:51to have you hanged
01:13:53Our discovery is a charming young lady
01:13:55from Halifax, Yorkshire
01:13:57So let's give a big welcome
01:13:58to Yorkshire's Winnie Barnes
01:14:04Now, what is your particular job in life, Winnie?
01:14:06I'm an artist
01:14:07What, an artist on the stage?
01:14:08No, I paint and draw pictures, Mr. Lewis
01:14:11I can see in your spare time
01:14:12you play the accordion, too
01:14:13Yes, and I'd like to play Flight of the Bumblebee
01:14:21And you still deny you were on the scene
01:14:23just before Gilroy's body was found?
01:14:26Yes
01:14:27You do?
01:14:28Yes
01:14:29He's lying, Inspector
01:14:30I saw him there
01:14:31I haven't let him out of my sight
01:14:32That'll take a bit of explaining
01:14:33with your record, eh, Hobart?
01:14:35Gilroy, Taylor and this man
01:14:36were all after my monkeys
01:14:38So there's a connection
01:14:39between Gilroy's death and Max Taylor's
01:14:41I'll say there is
01:14:42Him
01:14:43You're crazy
01:14:44Inspector, there's the man
01:14:45who shot Max Taylor in my office
01:14:47I did not, sir
01:14:48The Inspector tried hard enough
01:14:49to get that monkey from me
01:14:50yesterday afternoon
01:14:51Yes, but I didn't get it
01:14:52And I didn't go back to your office, either
01:14:53Your name is Hobart?
01:14:56Yes, Peter Hobart
01:14:57That's the name, all right
01:15:00What name?
01:15:01When Max Taylor was dying
01:15:02he told me who shot him
01:15:03Oh
01:15:04It's a lie, he was dead
01:15:05before he hit the floor
01:15:06So you did go back
01:15:09Yes, I did, but I can explain
01:15:10what I did there
01:15:11Your move, Inspector
01:15:19I'm in the clear
01:15:20Do you want to see a murderer?
01:15:21Look
01:15:27They're not on him, sir
01:15:28Ah, told you, didn't I?
01:15:30Whoever married those two men
01:15:31did so to get my monkeys
01:15:33The murderer has those monkeys now
01:15:37It's a lie
01:15:38It's a lie
01:15:39It's a lie
01:15:40It's a lie
01:15:41It's a lie
01:15:42It's a lie
01:15:43It's a lie
01:15:44It's a lie
01:15:45It's a lie
01:15:46It's a lie
01:15:48You're quite right
01:15:50In your own interest
01:15:51I think you should tell us
01:15:52what you know
01:15:58All right, Richards
01:15:59Come on
01:16:00Wait
01:16:02I'll show you who did it
01:16:04Look out, quick
01:16:05Here goes your murderer
01:16:06Come on
01:16:07Wilkes, watch him
01:16:08Come on
01:16:17Well, Inspector
01:16:18Looks like I've fallen for the wrong man
01:16:26Sweet little family, aren't they?
01:16:29Come along
01:16:48Hmm
01:16:55The spotlight swings from Winnie Barnes to Music Time
01:16:57and the melody of Now Is The Hour
01:17:01Now Is The Hour
01:17:16Yes
01:17:17Carry on
01:17:19A shot was fired from behind the curtains
01:17:21and Max dropped
01:17:22And then out she came
01:17:23carrying a gun
01:17:25She walked over to Max and
01:17:27picked up the monkey
01:17:28And Gilroy
01:17:29Instead, sir. My compact, please.
01:17:37What happened to Gilroy?
01:17:39After Max was shot, I went over to her hotel to tell her what I knew.
01:17:43We made a date for tonight at Gilroy's.
01:17:45We were going to split, so she said.
01:17:48When I got there, Gilroy was dead.
01:17:50Oh, Mr. Skippett, you didn't get murdered after all. That's nice.
01:17:53Mr. Levis wants to see you.
01:17:55Go on.
01:17:57So I guess she'd been there first, and now had all three monkeys.
01:18:00So I came straight here to stop her going to Ryder Harries with the monkeys after the show.
01:18:04Collecting all the 60,000.
01:18:0660,000 pounds for those?
01:18:08Good grief, I've seen them in all the shops, two by the time.
01:18:11Now, take good care of those monkeys.
01:18:13All right.
01:18:14Well, that's all. I hope you're satisfied.
01:18:16And you, you've killed two people for nothing. Absolutely nothing.
01:18:21Now, Peter, no false settlement, please.
01:18:24I know things haven't worked out as I planned,
01:18:26but you must admit you would have done exactly the same thing if you'd had the chance.
01:18:30What's more, you should be grateful to me for not killing you.
01:18:34Kay, you couldn't have killed them.
01:18:36Well, I don't like to boast, but I'm a marvelous shot, really.
01:18:40Oh, Carol, I am relieved.
01:18:42I thought they were going to hang you, and I shouldn't have liked that.
01:18:45Inspector Kay had no idea what the monkeys were worth.
01:18:49Oh, he's awfully sweet. Naive and sweet.
01:18:53Of course I knew about those monkeys.
01:18:55I only got myself engaged to Max to be near one of them.
01:18:57Well, then why did you give me the monkey as a present?
01:19:00For the same reason poor simple Max gave it to me.
01:19:03I don't think I ever thanked you for getting little Speak No Evil through the customs for me, did I?
01:19:08It's no good, Mr. Leavis.
01:19:10Come along, Miss Sheldon.
01:19:12Certainly, Inspector.
01:19:17Goodbye, Carol, dear. And in future, remember, gloves don't leave fingerprints.
01:19:22Kay, you must be mad.
01:19:28Excuse me, I'm on the air.
01:19:31Please, Mr. Hobart.
01:19:42A policeman saying please is something I just can't resist.
01:19:47Well, you don't want me anymore. Can I go?
01:19:50Why, of course, sir.
01:19:52Thanks.
01:20:01You have just heard Now Is The Hour, and I'm afraid this is the minute for me to sign off.
01:20:05And this is your old pal, Carol, ever saying so long, good luck, and happy listening.
01:20:16THE END
