01:01Just a minute, Rika.
01:03Yes, Sahib?
01:04How do I know those rubies are on the level?
01:06You don't, Sahib.
01:08But the wealthy one from your city of New York has done business before with Rika.
01:12Thanks for reminding me I'm just a messenger boy.
01:15Okay, it's not my money.
01:17No, Sahib. It is now mine.
01:24Police!
01:25Open up!
01:42It will be better if he doesn't see you with me.
02:12Why don't you open the hand laundry, Cass?
02:26Then I can leave this stuff here with you and keep right on going.
02:39Todd!
02:41Martha, baby!
02:46You miss me?
02:50Yeah, I guess you did.
02:53We heard about the bad luck you had in Bombay, Todd.
02:55Yeah, you hear a lot of things. Don't let it worry you.
02:57You better go in and have a talk with Dennis about it.
02:59I think you're expected.
03:01Were you sent out here to tell me that?
03:03No. And the welcome was my own idea, too.
03:06But I know just how much Dennis was counting on those rubies.
03:09Well, Muscles is going to have to do without them somehow.
03:12Look, baby, I got a bit of business to do.
03:15Important business. I need some time.
03:17What are you doing around four?
03:19I'll be showing some merchandise to a Mrs. Gerald North, 24 St. Anne's Place.
03:23Gerald North, 24 St. Anne's Place.
03:25Okay, I'll pick you up there.
03:27From then on, it'll be champagne for two.
03:40Now, this one is an R.C. Dennis exclusive, Mrs. North.
03:43Hand-woven for us in Calcutta.
03:48Jerry.
03:51Do you think this is me?
03:53Hmm? Yeah, what did you say to me?
03:55Do you think this is the real me?
03:58Well, now, uh...
04:00Oh, excuse me.
04:02Hello.
04:04Hello.
04:06Oh, excuse me.
04:08Hello.
04:10Yes? Uh, one moment, please.
04:12It's for you, Miss Thorne.
04:14Oh, thank you.
04:17Yes?
04:19Oh, yes, Todd.
04:21Oh, all right. I'll be here for a while.
04:23Yes, I do.
04:25You know I do.
04:30That was my, uh, friend.
04:32He's a pilot. He just flew in from India this morning.
04:34India? Oh, how exciting, Jerry.
04:37Oh, just think of the strange and wonderful places he gets to see.
04:40He's supposed to pick me up here.
04:42That call was to tell me he'd be a bit late.
04:44I hope you don't mind.
04:45Of course not.
04:46Jerry, when Miss Thorne's aviator arrives,
04:48uh, why don't you whip up some of those, um,
04:50you know, the ones with the cherries?
04:52Oh, you mean Manhattan?
04:53That's right.
04:56Ah, just think.
04:59India.
05:05All clear, Reese. Bring him in.
05:13Bring him here.
05:15Hey, what's the pitch?
05:18Hey, what's the idea, Dennis?
05:20This guy dragging me up here without a...
05:22Relax, Simpson.
05:23All I want from you is a couple of straight answers.
05:26The aviator, Todd Ward, was in your place this afternoon, wasn't he?
05:31Don't stall me, son.
05:32I know where he was.
05:33I had him tailed.
05:34Yeah?
05:35Yeah, that's right.
05:36He came by.
05:37It must have been about, about...
05:39About 20 minutes to 3.
05:41And he left at 5 minutes past.
05:44Yeah, that's right, Dennis.
05:47What was he trying to sell you?
05:49Well, you know I can't tell you that.
05:52Sure.
05:53I know, Simpson.
05:55You're a very ethical fence.
05:58Reese.
05:59Reese.
06:00Supposing I was to tell somebody about the stuff I handle for you all the time.
06:04You wouldn't be long for this world.
06:06Come on, you're wasting my time.
06:08Well, I can't squeal on Todd any more than I can on you.
06:11It'd be just like...
06:12Take him, Reese.
06:17Scratch him up a bit.
06:19Don't!
06:20Don't!
06:21Not too much, Reese.
06:23Just enough to make him talk.
06:25Oh, he wanted me to quote a price on seven rubies.
06:34I'm checking on it, sir.
06:35It'll only be a moment.
06:36Well, hurry back, honey.
06:37I'll be waiting for you.
06:40Hello, Todd.
06:43Carl.
06:44Will you please keep your hands on the counter, Todd?
06:46Yeah, sure.
06:47What's the big idea?
06:48Dennis has been waiting for you.
06:50So I'll come by a little bit later.
06:52No, you will come now.
06:54You be quiet.
06:55I see you, honey.
06:56I'll drop by the next time I'm in town.
06:58But I've got your reservations, Mr. Wallington.
07:01Two seats on the 10 o'clock plane for Rio.
07:03Don't you want to take them with you?
07:05Mr. Wallington will not be able to make it.
07:15You know, Mrs. North?
07:16Hmm?
07:18I wonder what's happened to Todd.
07:20Oh, he'll be around.
07:22You know, I just can't make up my mind.
07:28He's so enthusiastic.
07:34You'll have to make up your mind, Todd.
07:36And I think you know I'm not celebrated for my patience.
07:40What do you want of me?
07:41I told you the Indian cop killed Rika
07:43before he could hand over the rubies.
07:44I was lucky to get out with my own skin.
07:46You're a good pilot, Todd, but a bad liar.
07:49I have friends in Bombay.
07:51Good friends.
07:52Rika had neither the money nor the rubies.
07:55OK.
07:56Believe what you want.
07:58I haven't got the rubies either.
08:01Bomber followed you from the airport this morning.
08:04You've been a busy young man, Todd.
08:06Shall I tell you what the fence Simpson told me?
08:09Or, uh, perhaps you'd prefer to start
08:11with why you were buying airspace for Rio
08:14under the name of Wallington.
08:17OK.
08:18I've got the rubies.
08:20I'll make a deal with you.
08:23No deals.
08:25This is a good one.
08:26The money or the rubies.
08:28Take your choice.
08:30Well, I deserve something for getting them over here.
08:32You'll get what you deserve.
08:34Search him, Bomber.
08:50Follow him.
09:09Hello?
09:10Oh, you must be Todd Ward.
09:12That's right.
09:13Is my girl here?
09:14Well, she certainly is.
09:15Won't you come in?
09:16Thanks.
09:18Hi, baby.
09:19Sorry I'm late.
09:20I ran into a couple of friends.
09:23Todd, this is Mr. and Mrs. North.
09:25How do you do?
09:27How about a drink, pal?
09:28I'll go out into the kitchen and stir up something.
09:31Uh, would Manhattan's be good for all concerned?
09:35I mean, uh...
09:36Manhattan's will be fine, dear.
09:40Miss Bonner's told us so much about you, Mr. Ward.
09:46Got a little drink?
09:50Nervous some people.
09:58Todd, what's the matter?
10:00My friend showed up.
10:01Dennis?
10:02And company.
10:07Whew.
10:08Loaded.
10:10Well, here we are.
10:16Excuse me.
10:18Excuse me.
10:23Well, uh, yours must be quite an interesting profession, Mr. Ward.
10:26Yeah.
10:28Full of laughs.
10:30And Manhattan's.
10:35How do you feel?
10:37Like I was flying without wings.
10:41How about another drink?
10:43Oh, sure.
10:47I'm sorry I'm clumsy.
10:49Happens to the best of us.
10:51I'll get a towel and clean it up.
11:17What's the matter, Mr. Ward?
11:19I gotta get out of here.
11:20My legs are wobbly.
11:27Hey!
11:28We've had about enough from you.
11:30Jerry, don't!
11:31I'm sorry, pal.
11:32I...
11:33I'm sorry.
11:34I'm sorry.
11:35I'm sorry.
11:36I'm sorry.
11:37I'm sorry.
11:38I'm sorry.
11:39I'm sorry.
11:40I'm sorry.
11:41I'm sorry.
11:42I'm sorry.
11:43I'm sorry.
11:44I'm sorry.
11:46Ooh!
11:48You better call an ambulance.
11:59Take your hands off of me!
12:01What did you want to see me about?
12:05Well?
12:06What are you doing?
12:08Searching.
12:09What do you think I'm doing?
12:10You two boys go and admire the scenery.
12:15Hold still, you little fool, or you won't look so pretty.
12:18Okay.
12:20You might have asked me.
12:22I would have told you if I had the rubies.
12:23I'm on your side.
12:24Oh, sure.
12:26I'll get your uniform.
12:31Have you any idea what your boyfriend did with them?
12:33Well, you know Todd is at the hospital because you followed us.
12:36Well, while he was unconscious, I went through his clothes.
12:38Nothing.
12:39He's got them stashed someplace.
12:41But the doctor said he'll be out in a few days, so you could, uh...
12:43Okay, okay.
12:45Whose side were you on at the hospital?
12:48I told you!
12:49Never mind.
12:50When he left my office, he had those rubies.
12:53If I can believe you, that means he must have hidden them at the North's apartment.
12:57Would I lie to you?
13:00You might.
13:02But you wouldn't get away with it, dear.
13:04Tell me, when Todd was at the North's apartment, did he move around much?
13:08He was never out of the living room.
13:10Good.
13:11Good.
13:12That simplifies matters.
14:11This award's for very handsome men, don't you think so, honey?
14:34What did you say, darling?
14:35I said Martin's aviator's a very handsome man.
14:38Handsome is as handsome does, my great Aunt Matilda always used to say.
14:42I remember your Aunt Matilda.
14:44She was a great one for clichés.
14:46Well, cliché or no cliché, this one happens to be in point.
14:50What do you mean?
14:51Well, that stabbing business.
14:54What do you make of it, dear?
14:55I don't know.
14:57And even Martin didn't have the answer.
15:00Todd himself wouldn't talk, even in the ambulance.
15:04Well, that's a mystery, all right.
15:05A man doesn't get knifed for no reason at all.
15:09Could have been done by a jealous husband.
15:11Yeah, possibly.
15:14Hey, now, wait a minute.
15:16Get to bed, Jerry.
15:22Oh, Jerry, the doorbell.
15:24Yes, I heard it.
15:30All right, all right.
15:34Who is it?
15:35Marta Thorne, Mr. North.
15:37I have to see you.
15:38Marta Thorne?
15:49What is this?
15:52Who are these people?
15:53My apologies, Mr. North, Mrs. North.
15:56I am R.C. Dennis, Marta's employer.
15:58And these gentlemen are my associates.
16:01I realize that this is a most unseemly hour,
16:06but my business is very urgent.
16:13If you don't mind, these furnishings
16:15are not being offered for sale.
16:16Oh, no, of course not.
16:18I shall state my business, Mr. North.
16:20In brief, Todd Ward, the gentleman
16:22you entertained this afternoon, is
16:23in possession of a very valuable property.
16:26My property, sir.
16:28In other words, he's a thief.
16:30Well, after all, this isn't the police department.
16:34Hey, what do you think you're doing?
16:37Will you kindly lower your voice?
16:39You don't seem to understand, Mr. North.
16:41This is a very private matter, not one for the police.
16:45However, as an honest citizen, I'm
16:46sure you wouldn't want to retain something
16:48that is rightfully mine.
16:49But I don't even know what you're talking about.
16:52Oh, then I shall enlighten you.
16:54I am referring to the seven sacred rubies of Anchor Watts.
16:58Anchor who?
17:00Anchor Watts, the fabulous lost city of India.
17:04Rather a feeble jest at such an untimely hour.
17:07But believe me, Mr. North, I'm very serious when I say
17:10I must have those rubies.
17:14How can you stand to associate with these people, Marta?
17:17They're obviously responsible for Todd's being knifed.
17:19You talk too much, lady.
17:21Maybe I should.
17:22Hey, wait a minute.
17:23Maurice.
17:26Don't worry about Marta, dear.
17:28If the girl has any talent at all,
17:29I'm sure it's on the side of enlightened self-interest.
17:32I'm surprised that you, Marta, Todd
17:34Ward is such a fine, decent young man.
17:36Let her say it.
17:37All of a sudden, I'm a heavy.
17:38Todd Ward got what was coming to him.
17:41Look, I found this under the couch.
17:44The rubies.
17:45Now, Mr. North, can you deny that you have the seven rubies?
17:49I can.
17:50And I can tell you something else.
17:51If you're not all out of here in one minute,
17:52I'm going to call the police.
17:54Hey, mister.
17:55You are not calling anyone, Mr. North.
17:57Search the place, and I mean search it.
18:01Oh!
18:01Stop it!
18:03Now, just a minute.
18:05Oh!
18:06Oh, you!
18:07Oh, shut up.
18:09Search the bedroom and the bathroom.
18:10Try the kitchen.
18:11Don't miss a thing.
18:16Hold it, Mr. North.
18:27Hold it.
18:58Well?
18:59Nothing.
19:01Stay away from that phone.
19:08Persistent, isn't it?
19:10All right, answer it.
19:12Wait a minute.
19:13Reese, stand behind her.
19:14She talks out of turn.
19:15Cut the connection.
19:18And I don't mean the phone.
19:21Just a minute, Mr. North.
19:26Hello?
19:28Oh, hello, Mother.
19:30Mother?
19:31No, no.
19:32This is Bill Wigand.
19:33Now, listen, Pam.
19:34I just noticed on the police blotter that an ambulance
19:36was sent up to your apartment.
19:37What was the matter?
19:40I'm sorry we weren't able to meet you at the airport.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:45I'm sorry.
19:46I'm sorry.
19:47I'm sorry.
19:48I'm sorry.
19:49Why the airport?
19:51Airport, what airport?
19:54Guanaguardia field.
19:57From the looks of things, we won't be able to meet you at all.
20:01Goodbye.
20:02Now, hello.
20:03Hello?
20:04Pam?
20:08I didn't like that conversation.
20:10It might mean most anything.
20:12And if it did, either one of you make a move,
20:16I'll kill you both.
20:18I'll take him to the door and make sure he doesn't do anything foolish.
20:21And remember, Mr. North, your wife stays here with me.
20:26You'd better go, Jerry.
20:36Who is it?
20:37Telegram for Gerald North.
20:39Tell him to shove it under the door.
20:41Push it under the door.
20:43Yes, he's got a sign for it.
20:45Step back.
20:47And turn around.
20:49I said turn around.
21:04Reed, what is it?
21:07Reed!
21:11Dennis, behind you!
21:13Dennis!
21:14Oh!
21:17Drop the gun!
21:29Todd, darling, what are you doing out of the hospital?
21:31Forget the concern, baby. I know you're in with Dennis and the boys.
21:34But I...
21:35Shut up!
21:36I'm the one that's running the show from now on.
21:42Hold it.
21:43This gun should convince you who's side I'm on.
21:45Todd's.
21:46So maybe he doesn't believe me because I searched his clothes in the hospital.
21:49But, Todd, believe me now.
21:51I'm on the level.
21:52It was Dennis who tried to cross you up.
21:54I don't know.
21:55Caution, though.
21:57Marta's worked for me ever since you've known her.
21:59The only thing honest about her is her last name.
22:02If you tell her where those rubies are, we'll all be holding the bag.
22:06Except it will be empty.
22:08Todd, don't listen to her.
22:09Everything about her is a lie.
22:11I'll stick with you forever.
22:13Do you love me?
22:15All the way.
22:16All right.
22:18The rubies are in a bottle of cocktail cherries.
22:25Then I know where they are.
22:27Keep them covered.
22:32Here they are.
22:36Now, Mrs. North, tell me where that door leads to.
22:39You're not going to take the rubies.
22:41Of course I am.
22:42Do you think I'm going to leave these for those dirty crooks out there?
22:45Where are you going?
22:47I'm not going to let you get away with this.
23:13No!
23:14Please, get it.
23:15Get it.
23:16Get back.
23:17Get back.
23:30I got him.
23:31Hold in there, boys.
23:32I'll see what's going on in the kitchen.
23:35Police, get him up.
23:37Get a gun.
23:38Quick, Bill, the kitchen.
23:43Juan, she's pouring down his sink.
23:46Put that thing off.
23:47The rubies.
23:50The rubies.
23:51Look.
23:53Nothing left but a handful of red, sticky dust.
24:00What's so funny?
24:01They're fake synthetics.
24:04You mean all the time they were worthless?
24:06No, not worthless.
24:08They're fake synthetics, ringers.
24:10They falter like that when broken.
24:13Well, lovers, we've been robbed.
24:16Those rubies never saw anchor what.
24:21Hey, darling, I'm home.
24:24Oh, wait till you see my eye.
24:26The swelling's nearly gone.
24:28You know, I think I could take you dancing tonight and nobody would ever notice.
24:31Well, that's fine.
24:34Well, I have a surprise for you.
24:36Good.
24:37Did you see a paper today?
24:39Did you see a paper today?
24:41R.C. Dennis, Todd Ward, and that whole gang have been indicted.
24:46It says there on page one...
24:50Oh, Jerry, I didn't know you were standing there.
24:52Oh, it's all my fault.
24:54Okay, okay.
24:55What was that surprise you were telling me about?
24:58A sirloin steak.
24:59I was just getting ready to broil it.
25:00Never mind broiling mine.
25:02I'll wear it.
