00:01:30You sure look fine, honey child, but you all better hurry up, they're waiting for you downstairs.

00:02:00I'm not going through with it, Jenny.

00:02:03Lock that door.

00:02:04The door is locked, but you all must get married.

00:02:07Everybody's waiting for you downstairs.

00:02:09Why, your uncle and the Count and...

00:02:10Well, that's just it, that Count.

00:02:12I won't marry that man just because Uncle Roger wants a title in the family.

00:02:16My honey, my goodness.

00:02:30What is the meaning of this delay?

00:02:33The people, they are snickering.

00:02:36Am I, Count Parsky, a laughing stock?

00:02:39Keep cool, Count.

00:02:40You know how girls are, putting on a little final touch of powder and rouge for a honeymoon.

00:02:47It's true.

00:02:48I forget, I am so impatient.

00:02:51So impatient.

00:02:52This thing is too important to me.

00:02:55Too important?

00:02:56That's all right, Count.

00:02:59Are the bags ready, Jenny?

00:03:01Yes, Miss Mary, they're all packed, but they're sure going to raise a lot of fuzz.

00:03:05Don't you think that...

00:03:06No, I don't want to think.

00:03:07If I did, I'd go crazy.

00:03:09Get your hat, Rod.

00:03:10Oh, my goodness, I'm so nervous, I don't know where we're going.

00:03:18I will go up and tap on her door lightly.

00:03:21I will go with you.

00:03:23Yes, yes, we'll both tap.

00:03:27Yes.

00:03:36Now you've got to come with me, Jenny.

00:03:39Oh, Miss Mary, I can't go down there.

00:03:42Oh, be careful, honey.

00:03:45Be careful there.

00:03:47Oh, I just know we're going to catch us.

00:03:53Yes.

00:03:54Yes.

00:04:07Please hurry, my dear, the guests are waiting.

00:04:09And I also am waiting, my darling.

00:04:14Oh, I just know it.

00:04:16Oh, I just know it.

00:04:18Oh, I just know it.

00:04:23Oh, my forehead.

00:04:27Marian, why don't you answer me?

00:04:32Allow me, sir.

00:04:49Good.

00:04:53Marian, Marian, you come back here.

00:04:56We'll take one of these cars, Jenny.

00:05:03I'm desolated, I am ruined.

00:05:05Oh, cut out the dramatics.

00:05:07But she's gone, my bride, my honeymoon.

00:05:10Everything is ruined.

00:05:12She cannot do this to Count Barsky.

00:05:14But she did.

00:05:15Come on, we'll catch her.

00:05:19Oh.

00:05:20Oh.

00:05:21Oh.

00:05:22Oh, I feel so light.

00:05:23Oh.

00:05:28Uncle has the key.

00:05:35That's it.

00:05:36It sure is wrong to take something don't belong to you.

00:05:39Come on.

00:05:41Keep everything intact.

00:05:44We'll be back.

00:05:45Yes, we'll be back.

00:05:49Oh, thank you.

00:05:51Oh, I know this is going to lead us to no good.

00:05:57You won't go far.

00:05:58There's no gas into it.

00:06:12There she goes, around the corner.

00:06:15Get in, start the car.

00:06:17Get him.

00:06:20Start it, come on.

00:06:21Come on.

00:06:34Three mail planes have been mysteriously shot out of the air.

00:06:37The mail's robbed and the pilots disappeared.

00:06:41It's up to you to find the answer.

00:06:43I'll do my best, Chief.

00:06:45Now get this straight, Eric.

00:06:47The government doesn't expect you to break your neck.

00:06:49So the minute you think your motor is quitting, you bail out.

00:06:52All right, Chief.

00:06:53But if I do, I mean to find out what's happening to that motor.

00:06:56Certainly.

00:06:57It's kind of an expensive trick you're pulling, isn't it?

00:07:00Well, that's what the department thought.

00:07:02So I'm sending you up in an old plane.

00:07:04The routine information will be sent out in the usual way.

00:07:07I'm going to stay here on the job.

00:07:09You keep in touch with me by radio.

00:07:10Fine.

00:07:15All right.

00:07:39There they are.

00:07:40Step on it.

00:07:42Come on.

00:07:43Where are you going?

00:08:04Out of gas.

00:08:05Left a vision.

00:08:06Thou shalt not steal.

00:08:09Yep.

00:08:11What are we going to do now?

00:08:17Uncle Roger!

00:08:18And that cow.

00:08:19Oh, goodbye.

00:08:21Well, what do you want me to do?

00:08:23I just know it.

00:08:25Leave me here with him.

00:08:37Where is she?

00:08:38Where is she?

00:08:39Where is who?

00:08:40My niece, Marion.

00:08:41I don't know.

00:08:43Where is Miss Marion?

00:08:45My bride.

00:08:46You steal her from me, huh?

00:08:47I don't know where she is.

00:08:48She ain't here.

00:08:49We can see that she's not here.

00:08:51I'll bet she went to the airport.

00:08:57We'll get her.

00:08:58We'll get her.

00:08:59She can't get away.

00:09:00I'll bet she hitchhiked or something.

00:09:02Go ahead.

00:09:03Go on.

00:09:04We'll get her.

00:09:09Well!

00:09:10What's this all about?

00:09:12That Richard Bronson girl and her foreign couch.

00:09:14You know.

00:09:15Getting married today.

00:09:16Trying to honeymoon in the air.

00:09:38Don't let my niece get in this plane.

00:09:39Yes, sir.

00:09:40Come on, we'll look around.

00:10:09Marian?

00:10:10Marian, come back here!

00:10:12Marion! Marion! Come back here!

00:10:15Marion!

00:10:35Marion!

00:10:42Well, Mr. Bronson, where did she go?

00:10:46Yes.

00:11:13Eric, you keep in touch with the field at all times.

00:11:17Goodbye.

00:11:19Good luck.

00:11:20Thank you, sir.

00:11:36What is that?

00:11:37Oh, it's just the westbound mail plane taking off.

00:12:38Pilot 17 calling SBD.

00:12:43All right, Eric, go ahead.

00:12:44This is Maddox.

00:12:46No sign of Gerbil yet.

00:12:47Ten miles east of Hart Castle.

00:12:55Who are you?

00:12:56What are you doing here?

00:12:57I... I don't want to get married.

00:12:59You can't get married.

00:13:00You can't get married.

00:13:01You can't get married.

00:13:02You can't get married.

00:13:03You can't get married.

00:13:04You can't get married.

00:13:05You can't get married.

00:13:06I don't want to get married.

00:13:07You... you what?

00:13:08I... I say I don't want to get married, so I...

00:13:11Sit down!

00:13:14Well, that's the way it's done, huh?

00:13:17Well, what's the next move?

00:13:20I... I don't understand.

00:13:23Something... it might be loaded.

00:13:26Yeah, it's loaded all right.

00:13:28Come on.

00:13:30Tell me what happens next.

00:13:36Let's go.

00:13:55Let's go.

00:14:06Let's go.

00:14:36Let's go.

00:15:06I found out that my fiancée was to receive a million for marrying me, so I ran away.

00:15:19Another bullseye.

00:15:21She'll drop within two miles of us.

00:15:27Pilot 17, calling SVD.

00:15:29Pilot 17, calling SVD.

00:15:31All right.

00:15:32Bail out if you must.

00:15:33Take no chances.

00:15:34Those are orders.

00:15:37The radio's dead.

00:15:38We'll have to bail out.

00:15:41Eric!

00:15:42Eric!

00:15:45His radio's gone.

00:16:02Hey, look!

00:16:03He's got a chute.

00:16:04He's going to bail out.

00:16:07There's two of them.

00:16:31There's two of them.

00:17:02You two get the mail sacks.

00:17:04We'll take care of the pilot.

00:17:05All right.

00:17:24Well, we made it.

00:17:26We have it.

00:17:32This certainly was nice of you.

00:17:34Never mind that.

00:17:36You're under arrest.

00:17:38Jump.

00:17:40Jump?

00:17:42What am I under arrest for?

00:17:44Is this against the law?

00:17:46No, but robbery of the mails and murder is.

00:17:49Are you going to climb down or do I have to shove you?

00:17:52What are you talking about?

00:17:54Robbery of the...

00:17:55I haven't robbed any mails or murdered anyone yet.

00:17:59I'm afraid you'll have to carry me.

00:18:02I might fall.

00:18:18Come on.

00:18:28Come on.

00:18:41Your friends, huh?

00:18:43My friends?

00:18:45Why do you think that I...

00:18:46Quiet.

00:18:54Who are they?

00:18:56So you don't know.

00:18:58You are impossible.

00:19:00How would I know?

00:19:10They must have landed somewhere near here.

00:19:12Probably broke their necks with both of them at one shoot.

00:19:16Save us trouble if they did.

00:19:20Let's try that grove over there.

00:19:26All right.

00:19:27Wait here until I get back.

00:19:57All right.

00:20:28There's their shoot.

00:20:31Wait a minute.

00:20:32They may be alive.

00:20:35Looking for someone, gentlemen?

00:20:44Turn your back.

00:20:46Turn your back.

00:20:48Turn your back.

00:20:50Turn your back.

00:21:02Are these what you were going to help me with?

00:21:04If you look further, you'll find a permit to carry him.

00:21:06This is an outrage.

00:21:08All right, boys.

00:21:09You can put your hands down.

00:21:11Get on back to that car you left in the road.

00:21:13I'll report you to the police.

00:21:15Come on.

00:21:26Hold it.

00:21:32Oh, so you found them.

00:21:34Yes, I found them.

00:21:36Do you know these men?

00:21:38Sorry.

00:21:39Haven't had the pleasure.

00:21:41Perhaps you'll introduce me.

00:21:42My name is Regan, miss.

00:21:43Nick Regan.

00:21:44If you please tell that thick-headed friend of yours

00:21:46to put up his gun, we come to help you.

00:21:49You're right about the thick-headedness, Mr. Regan.

00:21:51But I think you better keep the gun out.

00:21:53That's enough chatter.

00:21:54Step along.

00:22:08Hey.

00:22:10Hey.

00:22:11There's something funny about that job.

00:22:13Not a mail sack in the crate.

00:22:15Maybe this plane was a decoy.

00:22:18Yeah.

00:22:21Who are you?

00:22:22A policeman?

00:22:23You don't look like one.

00:22:25And if you are, what were you doing flying the mail?

00:22:29Who are these men?

00:22:30And where are you going to take them?

00:22:32What are you going to do with them?

00:22:36Hey, look.

00:22:38Hey, look.

00:22:47That's the answer.

00:22:48They made it a trap and Nick and Megs walked right straight into it.

00:22:51Well, it's up to us to get them out.

00:22:52Wait a minute. No shooting.

00:22:53There may be a lot more of them around.

00:22:55Back of the car.

00:23:01All right.

00:23:02In the front, you two.

00:23:03Uh-uh.

00:23:04In this side.

00:23:07Come on.

00:23:14Get that guy.

00:23:15Get him.

00:23:16Come on.

00:23:31Get him.

00:23:37Come on.

00:23:55Thanks, miss.

00:23:56That was perfect.

00:23:58Come on, Megs. We'll put him in the car.

00:24:07Come on.

00:24:27Just a minute, miss.

00:24:28Where do you figure in this?

00:24:34Hey, Nick, look what we got here.

00:24:37What were you doing on that mail plane?

00:24:39Hey, there wasn't a sack of mail in the crate, Nick.

00:24:43Where were you going?

00:24:46I thought I was a passenger.

00:24:48But this looks like that man in the car had different ideas.

00:24:51Uncle Roger was a piker offering $1,000.

00:24:54I bet that pilot was going to ask $50,000.

00:24:58You mean that guy was going to hold you for ransom?

00:25:01I don't know what he meant to do.

00:25:03I was trying to find out when something went wrong with the motor.

00:25:08Get in the car.

00:25:10Well, where are you going?

00:25:12Aren't you going to take that man to the police?

00:25:14The police don't like us.

00:25:16Get in the car.

00:25:18We'll see that you get home safely.

00:25:38Yes?

00:25:39Speaking.

00:25:40There ain't nothing on him to show that he's a fed.

00:25:43Why don't you just say the word and we'll...

00:25:45No, forget that.

00:25:47I'll question both of them.

00:25:49Wait for me.

00:25:54What's the matter with you?

00:25:56What's the matter with you?

00:25:58What's the matter with you?

00:26:00What's the matter with you?

00:26:02What's the matter with you?

00:26:04What's the matter with you?

00:26:05What's the matter with you?

00:26:15I'm not interested in your racket, Regan,

00:26:17but you've broken up mine.

00:26:19I was due to collect 50 grand.

00:26:21Yeah.

00:26:23You've said that before and I told you

00:26:25you're going to have to wait until my chief gets here.

00:26:30He don't believe your story

00:26:32or the one Ms. Bronson told.

00:26:33You'll believe me if I talk nice to him.

00:26:36How soon do you expect him?

00:26:39He ought to be here any minute.

00:26:47Just how did you expect to get away with it?

00:26:49Well, you fellas balled up my plans all right.

00:27:03Boss ought to be getting here pretty soon.

00:27:14Boss?

00:27:15Say, listen, you know I used to be my own boss?

00:27:17Yeah?

00:27:18Had a medicine show on my own.

00:27:19Greatest spieler in the business.

00:27:21Spieler? What's a spieler?

00:27:23You don't know what a spieler is, a bartender?

00:27:25Listen, brother, wait a minute.

00:27:28Now, friends and neighbors, could I have a little attention?

00:27:30That's little enough, brother.

00:27:31Thanks.

00:27:32I'm here today to talk to you about your health.

00:27:34My friends, long before the hand of man set foot in this country,

00:27:37the Indians used to compound a root, dirt, box, and vineyard.

00:27:40No acne, Paul, Indian laminate.

00:27:42Lady, did you ever have a doctor tell you?

00:27:44Did you ever have a doctor tell you?

00:27:45You ever been operated on?

00:27:46All right.

00:27:47And after the operation, did the doctor tell you

00:27:49that the operation was performed just in the nick of time?

00:27:51Let me tell you what he meant by that, lady.

00:27:53He meant that another 24 hours,

00:27:54you'd have recovered without it.

00:27:55That's what he meant.

00:27:56Yes, sir.

00:27:57I had a doctor come to me not long ago.

00:27:59He said, Brother Hodgin, you've got to get rid of your teeth.

00:28:01I was sick in bed.

00:28:02He said, they're poisoning your system.

00:28:04You've got to get rid of them.

00:28:05I said, all right, brother, you get rid of them.

00:28:07They're under my pillow.

00:28:08You throw them away.

00:28:09That's what these doctors will do.

00:28:11Don't let what these doctors do carry you off.

00:28:13My friends, what these doctors don't know,

00:28:15we'll fill a hospital.

00:28:16That's right, lady, a hospital.

00:28:17You're absolutely right.

00:28:18We'll fill a hospital.

00:28:19Because I never had a person, not one single person,

00:28:22come back for a second bottle.

00:28:23That will do.

00:28:24Oh, you can believe that.

00:28:25Who wants one?

00:28:26There's a lady here.

00:28:27There's a lady here that'll have a bottle.

00:28:28Boys, give this lady a bottle, please.

00:28:30And here's a gentleman.

00:28:39Acting up again, eh?

00:28:41Now let's get down to business.

00:28:43How does this man Eric explain his picking up the girl?

00:28:46Well, he doesn't explain anything.

00:28:47He just simply says, send him the big shot.

00:28:50And he'll talk.

00:28:52And the girl?

00:28:53He was carrying her off.

00:28:55It was her that beamed him, or he might have got away.

00:28:59I'll talk to both of them.

00:29:01You wait here.

00:29:02OK.

00:29:04That must be the main villain.

00:29:06They're always not mysteriously like that.

00:29:09Well, anyway, they do in plays.

00:29:11Ain't you funny?

00:29:12What are you trying to do, kid somebody?

00:29:14Why, Mr. Regan.

00:29:17Well, Mr. Regan.

00:29:19I'm sorry.

00:29:20I'm sorry.

00:29:21I'm sorry.

00:29:22I'm sorry.

00:29:23I'm sorry.

00:29:24I'm sorry.

00:29:25I'm sorry.

00:29:26I'm sorry.

00:29:27I'm sorry.

00:29:28I'm sorry.

00:29:29I'm sorry.

00:29:30I'm sorry.

00:29:31I'm sorry.

00:29:39Miss Bronson, I believe.

00:29:41Yes.

00:29:42Oh, so you're the villain.

00:29:44You don't look like one.

00:29:45You're too polite.

00:29:47Now, that's my idea of a real crook.

00:29:50He pulled a gun on me in the plane.

00:29:52And now look at him, sitting there with his elbows

00:29:55Oh, yes.

00:30:01What do you think of this?

00:30:02You're the brains.

00:30:04I suppose I'm your prisoner now, not his.

00:30:19How much is my ransom?

00:30:26I'm not in the kidnapping business, Miss Bronson.

00:30:28I knew you weren't a villain.

00:30:32I can go then.

00:30:33Just a minute.

00:30:34Megs.

00:30:35Yes, boss.

00:30:36Take her in the other room.

00:30:37Oh, so you're a real villain after all.

00:30:39Move, quick.

00:30:43Nick, you better go too.

00:30:44I'll talk to this man alone.

00:30:46You better be careful, Ben.

00:30:47He's a tough one.

00:30:48So am I.

00:30:56Sit down.

00:30:57You're liable to be here for a long time.

00:31:00That's right, honey.

00:31:06You've gummed it up all right.

00:31:08I suppose you'll want to cut on the girl's ransom.

00:31:11There's not going to be any ransom.

00:31:13The snatch racket's too dangerous, even for me.

00:31:16As for you, well, I think you're a federal man.

00:31:21Oh, no, you're not.

00:31:23If you did, I wouldn't be alive now.

00:31:25And in just two words, I can convince you that you

00:31:28need me in your own game.

00:31:30Two words.

00:31:31Well, you're not going to say them anymore.

00:31:33What are they?

00:31:35Don't move.

00:31:37My men seem to have bungled things, badly.

00:31:40That's why I suggested you needed my help.

00:31:43Why?

00:31:44Whatever your gadget is that knocks down planes,

00:31:47it's good all right.

00:31:48But you don't know how to make the proper use of it.

00:31:50No?

00:31:51No.

00:31:52You knock down the planes without knowing what they carry.

00:31:54All you get is a few bags of registered mail.

00:31:56Point if you had a man with inside information.

00:31:59You'd get more in one haul than you do now in a dozen.

00:32:03Are you trying to tell me that you are that man?

00:32:06Yes.

00:32:07I carried off Miss Bronson in broad daylight

00:32:09because I know in advance what's aboard every plane

00:32:12that leaves that field.

00:32:14May I put my hands down?

00:32:17Now, just what is your proposition?

00:32:19I move in as an equal partner.

00:32:21And I tip you off whenever an airplane carries anything

00:32:24worth going after.

00:32:25All right.

00:32:26Send him in.

00:32:34Sit down, Wilkes.

00:32:37What's the matter, Wilkes?

00:32:40Sit down, Wilkes.

00:32:45Well?

00:32:46They found Lane's wrecked ship.

00:32:48Nobody in it.

00:32:49Yes, I got that by phone.

00:32:51Sure.

00:32:52But get a load of this.

00:32:54This was tucked under one of the seats in the wrecked plane.

00:32:58Well, that's not Eric's bag.

00:32:59I'll say it isn't.

00:33:01It belonged to that rich Bronson girl that was supposed

00:33:03to have been kidnapped this morning.

00:33:06Well, that ties the two jobs into one.

00:33:08If we find Lane, we'll probably be on the trail of the girl.

00:33:11Sure, but there isn't a clue to either one.

00:33:14Yes?

00:33:18Talking.

00:33:20Good.

00:33:22Keep after them.

00:33:23I'll join you there.

00:33:27They've picked up the trail of the car that stopped at the wreck.

00:33:30It was headed towards Los Angeles.

00:33:35Get me Roger Bronson.

00:33:39It is not to be believed.

00:33:41She could marry me, Count Barsky.

00:33:44And she'd run away.

00:33:45Yeah, you said that before.

00:33:48Did I?

00:33:49Yes, seven times.

00:33:51Hello?

00:33:54Roger Bronson speaking.

00:33:57What's that?

00:33:58Did they find her?

00:33:59Where is she?

00:34:00My wife.

00:34:01My wife.

00:34:02My wife.

00:34:03My wife.

00:34:04My wife.

00:34:05My wife.

00:34:06My wife.

00:34:07Where is she?

00:34:08My wife.

00:34:09My honeymoon.

00:34:10We believe that your niece has been taken to Los Angeles.

00:34:13I'm flying there in an hour if you want to join me.

00:34:15Fine.

00:34:16I'll meet you at the field right away.

00:34:17Yes.

00:34:19The federal men think she's in Los Angeles.

00:34:21I'm flying there with Max right away.

00:34:24I will get ready at once.

00:34:26You'll stay right where you are.

00:34:27Say, Count, can't you understand that she's running away from you?

00:34:31Oh, but my bride is lost.

00:34:33My honeymoon.

00:34:35All right, your lost millions is bothering you.

00:34:37I'm not too happy over it myself.

00:34:39You stay right here.

00:34:40Sit tight, and we may get a tip.

00:34:49It's a deal.

00:34:53But until we're better acquainted,

00:34:55I'll keep the secret of the ray, also its location.

00:34:58All right.

00:34:59And I'll notify you here when this currency shipment will

00:35:02take the air.

00:35:03Now, call in the others.

00:35:07Waltnick.

00:35:08Yeah.

00:35:09Bring in Miss Bronson.

00:35:18Mr. Harris here has decided to join forces with us.

00:35:22What about me?

00:35:24Am I to be left in the hands of this thug?

00:35:27This thug has decided to turn you loose,

00:35:29provided your memory is short.

00:35:31What do you mean?

00:35:32I'm going to call a cab and take you to the airport.

00:35:34The transport is leaving shortly.

00:35:36That'll take you home.

00:35:41Perhaps if you talk to Miss Bronson alone,

00:35:43you could make her understand what is expected of her.

00:35:46That's a good idea.

00:35:47In here, Miss Bronson.

00:35:55What's the idea?

00:35:56We don't need that rug.

00:36:02You might at least say thanks for what I did for you.

00:36:04Sit down over there and shut up.

00:36:06I'll do the talking.

00:36:10I'll take care of that.

00:36:27That's gratitude, I must say.

00:36:29Who are you, anyway?

00:36:31I thought I was trying to help you round up this bunch of crooks.

00:36:35Never mind what you thought.

00:36:37The only reason I'm letting you go is because Arnold has a safer racket.

00:36:46Hey!

00:36:48Is he a right guy?

00:36:51I'm not so sure.

00:36:54If I start screaming, I can get help and have you all locked up.

00:36:58If you yell, you'll never get out of here alive.

00:37:09You've got one chance to save your money and perhaps your life.

00:37:13I guess you mean that.

00:37:16I'll obey orders.

00:37:17What am I to do?

00:37:18Go home and forget about it.

00:37:20All right, you big brute. Get me out of here.

00:37:23Shh. They're coming.

00:37:32She'll listen to reason now.

00:37:34You understand your position, Miss Bronson?

00:37:36Yes.

00:37:37If you let me go, I won't talk.

00:37:41You're going to forget all the faces you've seen here.

00:37:44Some of them will.

00:37:46You're going to forget all the faces you've seen here.

00:37:49Some of them will be funny, but I'll do my best.

00:37:51Remember, if you tell the cops anything, it's your life.

00:37:56Stop trying to be funny. Pay attention.

00:38:17I'll take Miss Bronson to her cab and come back.

00:38:20Megs will go with you in case you have to hunt for a taxi.

00:38:24And you better keep that funny face of yours down.

00:38:27A lot of people saw it in the papers today.

00:38:29Come on.

00:38:46I suppose you know what you're doing, but this setup looks phony to me.

00:38:53Me too.

00:38:55In the other room, she asked him to thank her for slipping him these.

00:38:58Oh, so that's how he cut himself loose, huh?

00:39:00Yeah, and got the drop on me with my own gun.

00:39:03Maybe he doesn't intend to come back.

00:39:06Maybe he doesn't.

00:39:08But he will.

00:39:11Taxi!

00:39:17You understand what you're to do to keep out of trouble?

00:39:20Yes. Go home and keep my mouth shut.

00:39:22That's right.

00:39:24Municipal Airport. Step on it.

00:39:32The chief's waiting for you.

00:39:47And now what?

00:39:49Just a precaution, Miss Bronson.

00:39:51Now, don't make any noise and nobody will get hurt.

00:39:58We'll trail Eric from the minute he leaves here.

00:40:00You're taking an awful chance.

00:40:02It'd be better if you didn't let him get away at all.

00:40:05I'm not going to let him get away.

00:40:07I'm not going to let him get away.

00:40:09I'm not going to let him get away.

00:40:11I'm not going to let him get away.

00:40:13I'm not going to let him get away.

00:40:14I didn't let him get away at all.

00:40:28All right. That's done.

00:40:31You can tell Mags to take his hand out of his gun pocket.

00:40:35You see, we take necessary precautions.

00:40:38Now, where can we get in touch with you?

00:40:42I hadn't thought of that.

00:40:44You see, I have to keep undercover.

00:40:47I'll get in touch with you here, through Nick.

00:41:14Come on.

00:41:45Same as usual.

00:41:49Hi, Curly. Hi, Curly.

00:41:51Hello, Nat. Hello, Gus. How is it?

00:41:53Oh, I had an awful time getting here tonight, folks.

00:41:55I drove down the main street. The traffic cop stopped me.

00:41:57He says, back up. Back up. Where are you from?

00:41:59I says, Fresno.

00:42:01He says, Fresno? What are you doing with a California license?

00:42:04And I says, Fresno isn't California.

00:42:06He says, go ahead. I was thinking of Frisco.

00:42:09A little number and title.

00:42:11A man, his money are soon parted.

00:42:12But nobody can part a two-dollar toupee.

00:42:14Take it away, Curly.

00:42:17Extra, extra, listen to the newsboys shout it out.

00:42:21Extra, extra, and everybody knows what it's all about.

00:42:26Alimony for a love that's faded.

00:42:28Murder, arson, or a love nest raided.

00:42:30Unemployed, sit down and strike.

00:42:32But here's what the reading public would like.

00:42:34If a man bites a dog and a cart draws a horse,

00:42:36if a rooster and a hen start a suit for divorce,

00:42:38if a bald-headed man parts his hair,

00:42:39and a cat plays a fiddle, that's news.

00:42:41If a man and a maid take a drive in the park,

00:42:44in a lovely little park where they park in the dark,

00:42:46if they both start talking and we look down the lane

00:42:48and we see him walking, that's news.

00:42:50Everything seems to move in the same old groove.

00:42:52Everything is planned so well.

00:42:54We eat, we sleep, we park, we meet,

00:42:57but nothing ever happens in the grand hotel.

00:42:59But if a mouse and a flea build a home in the sea,

00:43:01if a camel and a fish have a nest in a tree,

00:43:03if a girl and a boy get married,

00:43:05if a boy and a girl get married,

00:43:06if a camel and a fish have a nest in a tree,

00:43:08if a girl like you could love a boy like me,

00:43:11that's news.

00:43:16I might sing higher, but I'm afraid my eyes will pop up.

00:43:36¶¶ ¶¶

00:43:47¶¶ ¶¶

00:43:57How about a dance?

00:44:00Not tonight, sister.

00:44:04G'd am.

00:44:06in this place. Just dropped in to dance. Why? You know those two men over there?

00:44:24No, never saw either one of them before. Why? I just wondered. Say, what's the big idea?

00:44:33I'd like to get out of here without them knowing anything about it.

00:44:38Drink soda. Make mine the same.

00:44:47Careful, don't let him see you're watching him. That guy is just figuring out a way to give us

00:44:53a slip. Sure, but it ain't gonna work, is it? What do you think?

00:45:03Do you think you could laugh them long enough to enable me to make a getaway?

00:45:15I might, if I was properly approached.

00:45:23For that, I could dance King Solomon, in spite of all his wives.

00:45:35Watch me. I'll make Cleopatra look like a middle-aged spinster with a gout.

00:45:39I'll bet you can too. Hurry it up, will you?

00:45:45You know, I think this guy Eric is playing the boss for a chump.

00:45:49Yeah, we can't lose sight of him for a minute.

00:45:54Hello. Hello, sugar.

00:45:57Wants some? Well, now that you mention it.

00:46:00Yeah, sit down. I tried for a dance over there,

00:46:04but the guy must have a wooden leg or something. How do you like that?

00:46:10I'm doing the band back, Tonya, so that fellow over there can get out of here.

00:46:14Good girl. You dance with me, and I'll put on a drunk act.

00:46:23Come on, that's a hot number.

00:46:25Trini, you got company. Hey, how about me?

00:47:53Well, that's that. Take the other side of the street.

00:48:23Taking the cover, eh?

00:48:37Yeah. I'll go and tell the chief you stay here.

00:48:40Right.

00:48:47All right, now what's the next move, Captain?

00:48:55Well, you go to your hotel and don't talk to reporters.

00:48:57If Lane is here and footloose, he's probably in touch with our people by now.

00:49:01Right.

00:49:17What about the rear of that hotel?

00:49:24I checked there. There's no door.

00:49:26If he comes out at all, he's got to come out this way and we'll see him.

00:49:28Get back to your spot.

00:49:35Oxford, 0458. Quickly, please.

00:49:5217 speaking.

00:49:54Right. I'll meet you there in an hour.

00:50:35Well, why the costume?

00:50:47Oh, I couldn't help it, Chief. The best I could get.

00:50:50All right, spill it. What's happened?

00:50:53Well, I suppose you've talked to Marion Bronson.

00:50:55Marion Bronson? Why, no.

00:50:57We haven't seen or heard of the girl since she disappeared.

00:51:00What?

00:51:01All we know is that her bag was found in the wreck of your plane.

00:51:31So a check for $10,000 wouldn't corrupt the big bull bandit?

00:51:40Listen, lady, why not make it $50,000?

00:51:42Because the result would be just the same when I tried to cash it.

00:51:46You wouldn't have to cash it, silly. I'd do that.

00:51:53I bet you could fool that chief of yours.

00:51:55Get me out of here and you'll have more money than you ever get at this game.

00:52:00Yeah, I know, lady, but listen,

00:52:02suppose you go and yell for the police the minute you get out in the street.

00:52:07Do I look like I would?

00:52:09No, I...

00:52:11I liked you from the very first...

00:52:23Hi, Chief.

00:52:25Very pretty speech. I'm sorry to interrupt.

00:52:30We...

00:52:32That is, at least she...

00:52:34She's been trying to pull that siren stuff on me, Chief.

00:52:37Yeah, and very successfully, if I'm any judge.

00:52:41Not very polite to sneak up on people.

00:52:43Quiet!

00:52:46This man, Eric, has completely disappeared.

00:52:48We don't know where he is.

00:52:50Now, you better get back to cafe and phone me the minute he comes in.

00:52:53All right, Chief.

00:52:54And be sure and lock the door.

00:52:56Yes, right.

00:53:00That man has no spirit.

00:53:08I like masterly men.

00:53:11Take you, for instance.

00:53:12That's enough.

00:53:14Sit down.

00:53:15You don't have to be star masterful as all that.

00:53:17Sit down!

00:53:23Who is this man, Eric?

00:53:25He thinks he's public enemy to number something or other.

00:53:29What is he to you?

00:53:31Just a headache.

00:53:32Drags me from my happy home and then runs out and leaves me in the lurch.

00:53:37Now you listen to me.

00:53:39If you expect to leave here alive, you'd better tell me the truth.

00:53:43I don't know who he is.

00:53:44You helped him cut loose.

00:53:45You gave him the scissors.

00:53:47Well, of course I did.

00:53:50I thought if there was a fight, the police might come.

00:53:56I expect that's for you.

00:53:57No one knows I'm here.

00:54:08Yeah?

00:54:09Eric phoned that the currency plane took off from Oakland two hours ago

00:54:12over the regular mail route.

00:54:14Well, have you checked on it?

00:54:15Yeah.

00:54:16The ship he described was sighted from Landberg 20 minutes ago.

00:54:19Well, you better let the others go for the pickup.

00:54:22You come here.

00:54:28Come on.

00:54:40In there.

00:54:42In there?

00:54:43Don't be silly.

00:54:44I wouldn't be able to breathe.

00:54:57Let me out of here.

00:55:18That's the car they picked me up in.
