01:26Where do we find Josephine Temple?
01:44Section T.
01:45Got some bags in order.
01:52Aren't you slipping something past me?
01:54Well, I know you needn't to clear on our treasure.
01:56But you might give a poor collector one look at the manuscript.
01:59Of course, so long as you're so curious.
02:03Are you Miss Temple?
02:05Yes.
02:05We've been sent here to escort you to the hotel.
02:08By Dr. Kerr?
02:09At his request.
02:11Thanks.
02:11Makes me feel quite important.
02:14Hmm.
02:17Somebody's going to pay a lot of money for this.
02:18Real money, I hope.
02:20Don't worry.
02:21We'll get our bid just the same.
02:23On the income tax.
02:25I'm from Rowan and Company.
02:26If you would allow us to represent you, we could negotiate a sale on the Chinese manor.
02:30But, sir, I've made arrangements to sell it to Dr. Kerr.
02:33Don't accept his offer.
02:34It's not enough.
02:35For the poor but not of Temple's, I assure you, it's a fortune.
02:38But we could get you much more.
02:39Well, keep your call.
02:41If the sale should pass, who are notified?
02:44I hope we'll hear from you.
02:44I'm from the record.
02:45How about a picture?
02:46Can we have a picture, Miss Temple?
02:47Well, it's very flattering, but I'm not important enough to do.
02:53Thanks, Miss Temple.
02:55Oh, pardon me.
02:57Is that Mary Townsend?
02:58No, sir, that's Miss Temple.
03:00Miss Townsend left the ship to Panama.
03:03Well, that sort of leaves me holding the bag.
03:06I mean, the bouquet.
03:08Hey, Porter.
03:10Want these for your girl?
03:21So sorry.
03:21My aim isn't so good as it used to be.
03:23Quite all right.
03:24Maybe with a little practice.
03:26Hey, you.
03:26What are you trying to pull?
03:27Hello, Mr. Queen.
03:28Hello.
03:29Did your father get you on the reception committee?
03:31Somebody should take the blame.
03:32This is right there, Mr. Queen.
03:33Do you mind?
03:35I've never been photographed officially.
03:36What?
03:36They usually want a tall, dark hole.
03:39Oh.
03:42Here.
03:45Thanks a lot, Mr. Queen.
03:48The boy of wonder who wrote those detective stories?
03:50Yes.
03:51Have you read them?
03:52I read one.
03:53How interesting.
03:54Not very.
03:55Thank you, boys.
04:07I'll carry on.
04:09You always do.
04:11Would you rather have me opposite or next to you at dinner?
04:13I won't need this in a dinner.
04:14I could get up for breakfast if I had a little encouragement.
04:26That's a lot to ask of the name.
04:28Then it's a date.
04:30Oh, Mr. Temple.
04:31Dr. Kirk made a reservation for you.
04:33Oh, thanks.
04:35Boys, I'll show Mr. Temple to 12-11.
04:37Goodbye and thank you.
04:44I'll take it, Nathan.
05:14Very good, Mr. Irene.
05:17Yes?
05:20All right.
05:21I'll tell him.
05:28Somebody must have talked.
05:30All this publicity may spoil the deal.
05:32I hope it does.
05:33You shouldn't.
05:34This will mean a lot to you and Irene.
05:36Yes, a lot of grief.
05:38The Chinese Mandarin is worth twice what I'm paying for it.
05:41Well, Miss Temple's here.
05:43You better tell her that.
05:45Maybe she'll take more.
05:46Mason.
05:48Yes, sir?
05:49Go to Miss Temple's suite.
05:50Ask her to come to you.
05:51Yes, sir.
05:52Ask her to leave us enough money to buy a meal in our old age.
05:55Why can't I convince you that this is a better investment than stocks and bonds?
06:01Someday you'll thank me.
06:02We'll thank you right now if you'll give us a decent allowance.
06:05I'm protecting you from your own extravagance.
06:09And from fortune hunters.
06:10Could he possibly mean me?
06:11Oh, don't mind him, darling.
06:13We're glad to see you.
06:14Oh, you can't insult an insurance man.
06:16I'll get rid of him either.
06:17Certainly not when I'm working on my best prospect.
06:20If you haven't got anything better to do at the moment, let's get married, huh?
06:23Donald.
06:24You want to take a chance?
06:25Do I?
06:26Planning to live on Irene's money, I presume?
06:28Wrong again.
06:29I'm about to close a deal that will net me $10,000.
06:32Donald, where could you get that much money?
06:34He hasn't got $10,000 yet.
06:35I'll get it.
06:36All I have to do is say the word.
06:38I suppose you'll try to prevent Irene marrying him now.
06:41I will prevent him.
06:42As long as I'm her guardian, she'll do as I say.
06:44Then I'll run away.
06:45You won't have to.
06:47I'm going to court and demand that Uncle Alec's guardianship be set aside.
06:51That's ridiculous.
06:52As long as I can prove that I'm investing your estate legitimately, and I can, the courts
06:57will not interfere with my trusteeship.
06:59We'll see about that.
07:01I'll find a way.
07:11I've tried, Mason.
07:12They don't want to understand me.
07:13Take that stuff away.
07:17Miss Temple's compliment, sir.
07:19She a bit of tidying up, and we'll be with you presently.
07:21What does she want to dress up for?
07:24Oh, well, I...
07:26Get me that album from the safe.
07:28Very good, sir.
07:28We'll see you.
07:31I'll see you next time.
07:36Bye.
07:50unfortunately, I was warned.
07:52Yes, this is Miss Temple.
08:16I said this is the manager.
08:17Our guests are complaining they can't see you clearly.
08:20Will you please run up your shades?
08:21Your voice is very familiar, but I can't place your manners.
08:26Are you that young man?
08:28Uh-huh. How about that dinner?
08:30Are you trying to break our breakfast, Dave?
08:32No, just hurrying it up.
08:34Why don't you say yes will be our next number.
08:37Hey, there's a man in your room.
08:38It's only the radio. I'll turn it off.
08:50Hello?
08:52Oh, I was just ready to drown myself.
08:54Then I'll hang up so you can get on with it.
08:56Oh, on second thought, I can't. I'm my father's only son.
09:00How does he feel about that?
09:01I'll let him speak for himself.
09:03Keep the governor.
09:04Miss Temple, Inspector Queen.
09:09Pleased to meet you, Miss Temple.
09:10How do you do, Inspector?
09:12I've heard a lot about you.
09:13Lies, my dear lady. All lies.
09:16Just a nice voice.
09:18Say, what am I getting? An audition?
09:20No. Don't get nervous.
09:22This is only an invitation to breakfast.
09:24I can't go. I've lost my gloves.
09:27I'll find them for you.
09:28That should keep you busy until morning.
09:31Goodbye.
09:31Oh, salut.
09:32Who?
09:59For you, Miss Temple.
10:00Oh, thank you.
10:01You're welcome.
10:35I want the manager.
10:36Hurry, please.
10:37I want the manager.
10:38Hurry, please.
10:39Telephone, Mr. Mellish.
10:40I want the manager.
10:41Hurry, please.
10:42I want the manager.
10:43I want the manager.
10:45I want the manager.
10:46I want the manager.
10:47I want the manager.
10:48I want the manager.
10:49I want the manager.
10:50It will go.
10:51I want the manager.
10:52I want the manager.
10:54I want the manager.
10:55I want the manager.
11:02Hurry, please.
11:04Telephone, Mr. Mellish.
11:13Yes?
11:14Yes, this is the manager.
11:18Impossible.
11:18Nobody commits robbery in my hotel.
11:21They do?
11:23I'll be right up.
11:24Get the police.
11:25Send them up to 12-11.
11:26I told you I wouldn't be gone.
11:28It's been worth waiting for.
11:29Like it?
11:30Mm-hmm.
11:36Hi, Miss Temple.
11:36Where will I find Dr. Kirk?
11:38In his stamp room.
11:39You may go through the library.
11:44Oh, this is terrible, Miss Kirk.
11:46Now, who'd steal that stamp?
11:48What stamp?
11:48Miss Mandela, the Chinese temple.
11:50The Chinese Mandela?
11:51Oh, and in my hotel.
11:52We've always been so particular.
11:53There's never a breath of scandal.
11:55I must tell Dr. Kirk.
11:57Well, that's why the young lady was all in a dither.
12:09I beg your pardon.
12:10I'm Inspector Queen.
12:11Where's Dr. Kirk?
12:12In his stamp room, I think.
12:13I'd rather you didn't leave just yet.
12:15Well, I'm Martha Kirk.
12:16Well, that's just fine, but everyone stays here until I'm through.
12:20Oh, really?
12:29What's happened?
12:30Oh, more trouble about that silly stamp.
12:32It's been stolen.
12:35I hope they can find it.
12:36Where are you going?
12:37Well, I've got to find Fifi.
12:38I must be going.
12:39Just a minute.
12:40Who are you?
12:41Well, I'm not a...
12:42I didn't ask you who you're not.
12:43Who are you?
12:44I'm a suspect.
12:45No, no, no.
12:46I'm not a suspect.
12:48I'm the manager of the hotel, Mr. Mellish.
12:52Oh, dear.
12:57Donald, are you absolutely sure of getting that $10,000?
13:01It's a cinch unless the chap drops dead.
13:03We're waiting for you.
13:09Yeah, you too.
13:11Oh.
13:13Come on, come on.
13:14What's all this about the Chinese Mandarin being stolen?
13:17Yes, yes.
13:17We must find it.
13:18It's the most valuable stamp in the world.
13:21Such things don't happen in my hotel.
13:23I make rules.
13:24Think what it means to poor Miss Temple.
13:26She was counting on my $50,000.
13:28$50,000?
13:30Not a cent.
13:31Not if she shews me for $100,000.
13:33Perhaps she will.
13:35Maybe she changed her mind about letting my Uncle Herbert at such a bargain.
13:38Where is she?
13:39Where is Miss Temple?
13:40I thought she was with you.
13:41I told her to go through the library.
13:43I haven't seen her.
13:52Who locked this door?
13:56It's locked from the other side.
14:01Open the door.
14:07She can't hear you.
14:08This room is soundproof.
14:09Is there another door?
14:10Yes, in the hall.
14:11Open it, Irene.
14:12Bring the girl in.
14:13Let's get to the bottom of this.
14:14Yes, let's.
14:27Inspector Queen, come at once.
14:28What's the matter?
14:41What's he doing?
14:42You say he's posing for a picture.
14:43Oh, but then what is it?
14:44He calls it murder.
14:46Impossible.
14:49Don't leave the apartment, any of you.
14:51Get the homicide squad.
14:52Yes, sir.
14:52What's wrong?
14:53Who is it?
14:58That's what I was about to ask you.
15:01How did he get in here?
15:03Don't you know?
15:04I haven't left the stamp room since lunchtime.
15:07I haven't seen anyone except my nieces.
15:12And that young man.
15:13Friend of yours?
15:18I never saw him before.
15:21Killer must have used the holder to get away.
15:23I suppose so.
15:25Why is his coat on backwards?
15:27That's what I want to find out.
15:28Wait a minute.
15:30The Mandarin on the stamp.
15:32His clothes were on backwards.
15:34That's why the issue was suppressed.
15:36The stamp's at the bottom of this.
15:38Where's that girl, anyway?
15:39Maybe she went back to her room.
15:41Sent for the boy and the policewoman.
15:42You better put him to bed.
15:44Not in my hotel.
15:46I'll have to ask you to leave, doctor.
15:48Lock the door and don't let anyone in here till the boys show up.
15:51Yes, sir.
15:53There's something mysterious going on here.
15:56That man is dead.
15:57Don't jump at conclusions.
16:01I can't keep catching you.
16:03I got work to do.
16:06It's about time you showed up.
16:09How did you get in here?
16:10I came in with the other essentials.
16:12What?
16:13The baggage.
16:14I never call a trunk a trunk.
16:15Once I called a grip a bag, but I never miss calling a date a date.
16:19How much would you take to go away?
16:21And forget you?
16:22I used to get a dime from my sister to go away, but I charge more for forgetting because it's
16:27harder to do.
16:28Here, what do I get for these?
16:32What do you want?
16:34I'll settle for a dinner.
16:39All right.
16:40If you'll take me to Rowan and Company first.
16:42It's a deal.
16:43That makes a swell background for an orchid.
16:54I, uh...
16:55I never wear them except for breakfast.
16:58I'll remember that.
16:59I'll be with you in a minute.
17:00Come in.
17:16Hi, Dad.
17:17You always chase every girl I like.
17:20What are you doing here?
17:21Waiting for Miss Temple.
17:22Where is she?
17:23No fair cutting in.
17:24I saw her first.
17:26I haven't got any time for your nonsense now.
17:28That goes next door.
17:34Father, is that nice?
17:36What?
17:37Peeking into a lady's bathroom.
17:50She's not in there.
17:52How do you know?
17:53You're not blushing.
17:55And I'm not kidding.
17:56Then what's all the shooting for?
17:58That's what I'm going to find out.
18:00It's been a murder.
18:01Ouch.
18:03What?
18:04I came over here to look for a stamp and find a 14-carat homicide.
18:07Don't ask me to help.
18:08I don't want to make history.
18:09I just want to make love.
18:11I'm not asking you.
18:12This is a man-sized job.
18:13A policeman.
18:14Ah, then you don't need brains.
18:17Ah, go take a bath.
18:19Pop, you got something there.
18:23You can come out now.
18:25He's gone.
18:36Was he busy, looking for a stolen stamp, a murder in you?
18:41Why is he looking for me?
18:42I have my stamp and I don't know anything about a murder.
18:46Stop me if I'm wrong, but weren't you just hiding from my father?
18:49I never met him.
18:50Well, he's just crazy to meet you.
18:52Stop trying to be funny.
18:54This is no joking matter.
18:57Is it that important?
18:58If you'd faced poverty all your life and suddenly found you had a fortune in your head, you'd think it important, wouldn't you?
19:06My mother told me, quote, money isn't everything, unquote.
19:10To my mother and dad, it means coming back to the state.
19:16Home, peace, and security for the rest of their lives.
19:19And it all depends on one little cent.
19:21Yes, and I'm going to sell.
19:23Does your invitation still hold me?
19:25Sure.
19:26Then get me out of here quickly.
19:27I must go to Rowan in company.
19:29I'll bet you could use a little help.
19:50Would you?
19:51Lady, you have big blue eyes and soft brown hair.
19:54In other words, you're my client.
19:57That's my call to Warren.
19:58I'll run up to Kirk's, look around, and bingo, solve the mystery.
20:02Is it easier, sir?
20:03Easier for you.
20:14Yes?
20:15Open in the name of the law.
20:17This is no time for games.
20:19It's a mighty case.
20:20Shh, Pop, I know.
20:22Somebody told me.
20:25Goodness, Pop, how did that happen?
20:26Don't call me Pop.
20:28And don't come barging in here getting under people's feet.
20:31This story's for the police wrecking, not a publisher.
20:34All right, boys, take the body down.
20:36He's not as big a man as his father.
20:38But your son did inherit his brain, and I do make money.
20:41Have it your way.
20:43How'd he get in here?
20:44You tell me.
20:45Nobody else will.
20:45Well, the two spears.
20:48They're to hold a dead body erect.
20:50Right in 90 years.
20:51Yes, but what for?
20:52Well, we won't go into that.
20:53You know the words you don't know?
20:55In one word, yes.
20:58The coat on backwards.
21:00Say, he couldn't have done that himself.
21:02Did you ever try to put a coat on backwards and button it?
21:05That backwards business means something.
21:07Now it comes out.
21:08The killer was trying to give the impression of great strength.
21:13Joey handles a heavy body, easily undressing it, then dressing it backwards.
21:16A woman might have done that, thinking we wouldn't believe she had strength enough to do it.
21:20Oh, no, no.
21:21Oh, yes, yes.
21:22That's why I'm going to chat with you on this temple.
21:25Just wasting your time.
21:26Yeah, it's so simple.
21:27It is a waste of time.
21:29The fellow trails the girl here, snatches the stamp, and she bumps him off to get it back again.
21:33Too easy, Dad.
21:34This is a hard one.
21:35Oh, you want to make a mystery of it.
21:40You can't eat that.
21:42Might be evident.
21:43Might so.
21:44Not a fingerprint.
21:45Smooth job.
21:46Must have worn gloves.
21:47This is the craziest case I ever saw.
21:49Anything more, Inspector?
21:50No, I'll let you know if anything turns up.
21:52All right.
21:59Got it solved?
22:01Oh, a couple of details missing, but take a look at that bolt.
22:04What about it?
22:05Has it been oiled recently?
22:09Oh, I'll take that.
22:11Oh.
22:12I thought my girl would like it.
22:13When I get her up here, we'll see.
22:15Boys are here.
22:16Bring them in.
22:23You always send them orchids, don't you, son?
22:25The first time you guess right, I'll have Winchell send an orchid to you for the best news item of the week.
22:31See, did anybody hear the shot?
22:33Not a soul.
22:34You questioned them all?
22:36Yes, and drew a blank.
22:37Nobody knows nothing.
22:38Such grammar.
22:40Where was Dr. Kirk?
22:41He claims he was in the stamp room.
22:43And he didn't hear it?
22:44That's right.
22:45The room's soundproof.
22:46Sounds phony.
22:48Let's check it.
22:48Guffey.
22:55How are your lungs?
22:57All right.
22:57How are yours?
22:58No, we want you to yell.
23:00Oh, gee, Chief.
23:01I'm going to bash for when comes the show and off.
23:03Well, you just pretend you're asking me for that promotion and you'll feel natural.
23:06Oh, I think you'll do.
23:10Over here.
23:15We're going in that room, and when I close that door, I want you to yell your head off.
23:19Make all the noise you can.
23:20Hurry up.
23:42Begin.
23:42Leave me alone.
23:52I'm working.
23:56I don't think he's even trying.
23:59When are you going to begin?
24:01Begin?
24:02I yelled my head off.
24:03What do you think?
24:04I am a siren?
24:05I hope you're satisfied Dr. Kirk couldn't have heard the shot.
24:08Oh, have you boys met Guffey?
24:10Uh, any more bright suggestions?
24:18Would you like to know where Miss Temple is?
24:20Yeah.
24:21You tell me where she is, and I'll tell you where she's going.
24:24I'll bet you 50 Joe Temple had nothing to do with this murder.
24:27Take it.
24:28And 50 more, I spot whodunit.
24:29Who did it?
24:31I'll take that, too.
24:32Now, where is she?
24:37I see a bedroom.
24:39Her bedroom.
24:41She's sitting on the edge of a chair.
24:43I see her, too.
24:44She's talking to a handsome stranger.
24:47And he's telling her she's about to meet a dear old inspector.
24:50Guffey!
24:51Get that ding.
24:55Miss Temple, a man has been murdered.
24:59You were in this room.
25:00I wasn't.
25:02Is this yours?
25:04I object.
25:06Overruled.
25:07When you came in here, you were wearing this flower.
25:10I didn't come in here.
25:11She did, too.
25:12I saw her.
25:13So did I.
25:13And she was wearing that flower.
25:15You better tell the truth.
25:17All right, I did come in here.
25:19And that man was here, wasn't he?
25:20He was.
25:21All right, go on.
25:22He had my stamp.
25:23And you killed him to get it back.
25:24I didn't kill him.
25:25He was dead.
25:26He had the envelope in his hand.
25:28Then what did you do?
25:29I don't remember.
25:30I was so shocked.
25:30I just wanted to get away.
25:32But you weren't too shocked to take your stamp.
25:34You did get it, didn't you?
25:36Let me have it.
25:36May I see it, please?
25:42Just a minute.
25:44I've got my case and your hundred right in my hand.
25:47I wouldn't be too sure about that, Inspector.
25:51Oh.
25:52No, Stampy.
25:54No, Casey.
25:55They've stolen it.
26:01Mr. Trask.
26:03You knew the murdered man.
26:05You owed him money.
26:06Who says so?
26:07This says so.
26:12All right.
26:14I did know him.
26:15His name is Craig.
26:16I lost a little money to him at a gambling house.
26:19And he followed you here to get it?
26:20I don't know why he came here.
26:21I told him I'd have the money in a day or two.
26:23You're stalling, Trent.
26:25You and Craig planned to steal the stamp and sell it.
26:27Then you decided you could use all the money.
26:29I don't know what you're talking about.
26:30I do.
26:31You killed Craig.
26:32Oh, that's absurd.
26:33He was dead when I first saw him.
26:41Come in here.
26:43Take these men in the next room and search them.
26:48And you search these women thoroughly.
26:50I want that stamp and I want the killer's gun.
26:54You can keep the small change in the wristwatches.
26:59Oh, doctor.
27:01Too bad about your accident.
27:03Rewindism, my boy.
27:04Well, that's better than a broken leg.
27:06I've been in torture for the last six weeks.
27:18Congratulations.
27:18You have two suspects.
27:20Now all you need is one murderer.
27:21All in good time, my boy.
27:23Well, this is as good a time as any.
27:25There was nothing on them, Inspector.
27:27I even went through their hair with a fine comb.
27:29Well, use the same thing on every room in this house.
27:32That's all for you.
27:33Go.
27:36Mason is bringing coffee.
27:38Now we're getting somewhere.
27:39Yes, but where?
27:44Oh.
27:50Cheer up.
27:51Recovery is just around the corner.
27:53What corner?
27:53I don't know.
27:54I'll look.
28:08Aren't you having a cocktail, Miss Kirk?
28:10No, I've been too busy.
28:12I had to get these letters out for Dr. Kirk.
28:14Wrong again.
28:22I thought I had it.
28:23Had what?
28:28Hey, Dad.
28:33Want something?
28:35Well, at least big eyes run in the Queen family.
28:38Someone's moved that picture since I was here before.
28:41What's wrong, Miss Kirk?
28:42Nothing.
28:44Not a thing.
28:45You seem startled.
28:47Well, I'm not really.
28:50Something's been stuck on this banking.
28:51And recently, too.
28:53I wonder if someone parked the stamp there
28:55so it wouldn't be found while the rest would be in search.
28:58Miss Kirk.
29:01Miss Kirk, do you know anything about that picture?
29:03No.
29:04No, I don't.
29:05Did you know a stamp had been hidden behind it?
29:07No, I didn't.
29:09Why won't you believe me?
29:10I haven't stolen anything, and I...
29:12I haven't killed anyone.
29:14Please, Mr. Willow.
29:15I'm sorry, but I have to question everyone.
29:18This stamp is a counterfeit.
29:19What?
29:22Every stamp in my collection has been expertized.
29:25I don't think these two are genuine, either.
29:27Are you an authority on stamps, Miss Duffin?
29:29Well, I...
29:30I am.
29:31I read a book once.
29:32Interesting.
29:33Very.
29:33It was all about the counterfeiting of rare stamps.
29:35How does it work?
29:36Like this.
29:37If you have a thousand dollar stamp, the real...
29:40You can only get a thousand for it.
29:41But, if you own ten counterfeits, you can make ten thousand dollars.
29:45A thousand for each one.
29:46If there are any counterfeits in my collection,
29:48a clever thief has been at work.
29:50Take the orders call, Chief.
29:50I switched them in here.
29:51Hello.
29:53Hello.
29:55Yes?
29:57Fine.
29:57Send two men to search his place.
30:00Set a line on Craig.
30:01He'd had time for forgery, and he's living in a place in West 47th.
30:04Oh, 42nd, huh?
30:0547th.
30:06Oh, 37th.
30:0847th!
30:09There's no such number as 3747.
30:11I didn't say 3747.
30:13I said 180 West 47th.
30:16Thanks.
30:17Why don't you stop wasting my time?
30:20Why don't you stick to books?
30:22Why do you annoy men at work?
30:24Yeah.
30:24Why don't you stop interfering with the law?
30:26Why don't you tend to your own business?
30:28And why don't you get out of here?
30:30I intend to.
30:32Now, listen to you.
30:34Young Trent's been working with Craig.
30:36Counterfeit writer.
30:38You still think you know who's done it?
30:40Did it?
30:44Oh, it's all right, Martha.
30:45You haven't done anything to worry about.
30:46Oh, but you have.
30:48Why did you get mixed up with Craig?
30:49No, there's nothing to that.
30:50Just murder.
30:51Oh, Martha, you don't know what you're saying.
30:54Mark, does anybody here know how many tangerines there were in that bowl in the library?
31:00Tangerines?
31:00Why, uh, three.
31:02And I ate one.
31:03Thanks.
31:06Here's a picture of the Chinese Mandarin.
31:09I wish I'd never sent for it.
31:12So this is what...
31:13If you've finished censoring those, I'd appreciate having them mailed.
31:17They're quite important.
31:18Oh, Guffey.
31:19Yes, sir.
31:21Mail these, please.
31:22Yes, sir.
31:24Why are the Mandarin's clothes on backwards?
31:26It was an engraving mistake.
31:28The issue was called in, and this is the only one in existence.
31:31Guffey, is that nice?
31:46Well, I'm not overlooking any bets, Mr. Queen.
31:49I'd give my right eye to get my hands on that Chinese stamp.
31:52Wouldn't we all?
31:53Say!
31:53You're not running out on me, are you?
31:58I've something very important to do.
31:59Of course you have.
32:00You're taking me to dinner.
32:01Oh, you have to stay here.
32:02But I don't want to stay here with these people.
32:04Oh, but they're awfully good company.
32:06Now take the inspector.
32:07If you don't mind, I'll take you.
32:08Is this a proposal?
32:10No, an alternative.
32:12Oh.
32:12Hey, Jones.
32:17Come up here.
32:18Come here, sir.
32:22The inspector wants to speak to you.
32:24It's all right.
32:25I'll see that no one leaves.
32:26Right, Mr. Queen.
32:27Oh, uh, let me have your flashlight, will you?
32:37All of us, $5,000, $1,000, hey!
32:42Hey, it ain't all about $5,000, $1,000.
32:49One day in New York and you make headlines.
33:02Why make it hard for yourself?
33:04Shh.
33:04Don't make any noise.
33:05There might be someone in here.
33:09Shh.
33:09We mustn't make any noise.
33:12What are you doing?
33:16Trying to be quiet.
33:17Don't work the hard at it.
33:20Oh, cozy little hideout.
33:22Ah, somebody's been in our little house.
33:25Somebody's interested in our Mr. Craig, too.
33:28Who?
33:28I'm the one who asked the question.
33:42Oh, there's nothing in there.
33:44Oh, yes, there is.
33:45An icebox.
33:50I found something.
33:53A clue?
33:54A bottle of milk.
33:55Oh, don't ruin your dinner.
33:57I'm just whetting my appetite.
33:58Clumsy, I told you to pick up your feet.
34:14Clumsy, I told you to pick up your feet.
34:20Oh, something fell on me.
34:22I'm numb.
34:23Drink this.
34:24I said numb, not dumb.
34:28What's that?
34:30I'll let you know when I find out.
34:32Oh, look.
34:33This is what the fellow who hit me was looking for.
34:41What fellow?
34:42I wish I knew.
34:46Want a couple of souvenirs?
34:48Those dirty things?
34:49What are they good for?
34:50They're dyes to counterfeit stamps.
34:55Why, it's the dye of one of those counterfeit stamps
34:57in Doc's collection.
35:03A Rowan & Company stamp catalog.
35:05So what?
35:06What a grand setup for the sale of counterfeit stamps
35:09that outfit would be.
35:10You don't think a reputable firm like that
35:12would be mixed up in counterfeiting, do you?
35:14You never can tell.
35:16Rowan & Company.
35:18Howard Bronson, manager.
35:21Do you know this chap, Bronson?
35:22He came to the pier and wanted to buy the stamp.
35:25I wish to heaven I'd sold it to him.
35:29Had another brainstorm?
35:31Police headquarter.
35:32My brain's been storming ever since I met you.
35:35Captain O'Donnell, please.
35:39Hello, Captain.
35:40This is Ellery Queen.
35:43Yeah, well, fine, thanks.
35:44I'm working with the inspector on the Craig case.
35:47Uh-huh.
35:48He wants to talk to Howard Bronson of Rowan & Company.
35:51Yeah, that's right.
35:53At the Kirk penthouse.
35:55See that he gets over there right away, will you?
35:57Thanks.
35:58What's the idea?
35:59Shh, don't make any noise or scare it away.
36:00We'll just take this along.
36:03My dad can use this footstool.
36:05Pick him up.
36:07Oh, hello, boys.
36:08Glad to see you.
36:08Ain't that nice?
36:09Keep him up.
36:10Well, you know me.
36:11I'm Ellery Queen, Inspector Queen's little boy.
36:13Oh, and we're bringing that home to Papa.
36:14Search him, Wood.
36:16Oh, this is silly.
36:17You took the words right out of my mouth.
36:19Is this the thanks I get for putting valuable evidence in your hands?
36:22And a rope around you, Nick.
36:24Come on, get going.
36:25But I'm a detective.
36:26Well, try and detect yourself out of this one.
36:28Look, you tell him I'm a detective.
36:30I should be arrested for perjury.
36:33Come on.
36:36Oh, this is a beautiful night, Mike.
36:39You've been such a help.
36:41And now I can ever thank you for all you've done for me.
36:43Oh, tut tut, lady.
36:44I'm not worthy of such praise.
36:47Your arrest is entirely due to this splendid fellow.
36:49Oh, shut up.
36:52Now, now, I don't want to have any trouble with you.
36:54What jail are we going to?
36:56Have you any particular jail in mind?
36:58What kind of a jail would you like?
36:59Well, what jails have you got?
37:01Well, we got something nice in the city Bastille,
37:03and we're showing a very smart line of county hooscows.
37:06Now, let me see.
37:07This time of the year, I sort of lean towards the city prison.
37:11The county detention camp has its advantages.
37:13Ah, but for sheer beauty, give me Sing Sing in the spring.
37:16Could you give him Sing Sing?
37:18I'll do my best.
37:20Isn't he not?
37:21Awfully.
37:29Thanks.
37:29You're the nicest girl I've ever been handcuffed to.
37:49And you're the nicest boy that's ever had an E.U.
37:57It's been a real pleasure to arrest me.
38:09You bragged you'd have $10,000, didn't you?
38:12I mentioned it, yes.
38:13It was a commission on an insurance policy.
38:15I've explained that.
38:16But you haven't explained where you were during the time when Craig was killed.
38:19He was with me.
38:20Where were you?
38:21Dressing.
38:22And he was with you?
38:24Oh, you had me so rattled, I don't know what I'm saying.
38:26You're not being fair.
38:28Miss Temple caused all the trouble, and you've let her go.
38:30I didn't let her go.
38:32That idiot son of mine.
38:33You're hating me, Dad.
38:36Hey, you.
38:39Where have you been?
38:40Some of your dumb detectives took me for a ride.
38:43And another thing.
38:44Now, what right do you take people out of this house when I'm conducting an investigation?
38:47Sorry, Pop.
38:48Inspector.
38:49But I had asked that person a very important question.
38:52Alone.
38:53Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if I could get an admission from her.
38:56Well, I would.
38:56All I could get from her is a denial.
38:58But, Pop, you don't ask the right questions.
39:00That's why I get all the wrong answers.
39:03I was just over to Craig's place.
39:04Alone?
39:05That was dangerous.
39:06Did you get anything?
39:08Yeah, a sock in the head and a great idea.
39:09Good.
39:11What was the idea?
39:12Has the medical examiner made out a report on Craig?
39:15Yes, and there was no tanger in any stump.
39:18In the killer took it.
39:19What's that got to do with the murder?
39:21I don't know yet.
39:24Come in.
39:27Here's Mr. Bronson, Inspector.
39:28Bronson?
39:29How do you do, Mr. Bronson?
39:30What's the meaning of this?
39:31Getting me out of bed and dragging me over here at this time of night?
39:33Sorry to disturb your beauty sleep, but we need an expert opinion on some stamps.
39:37If you don't mind, this way.
39:42Good evening, Dr. Kirk.
39:44Hello, Bronson.
39:45Why are you here?
39:46I'm sure I don't know.
39:48I believe you two have met.
39:51Oh.
39:51My error.
39:53Mr. Bronson.
39:56Would you say that this is genuine, Mr. Bronson?
39:58Maybe you could use this.
40:09Why, this might be...
40:11It is a counterfeit.
40:13And so are these.
40:15Very well done.
40:16They might even deceive experts.
40:17You sold me those stamps, Bronson?
40:19I sold you the original.
40:20Rowan and company guarantee every stamp they handle, but not after they leave our hands.
40:25I'm beginning to understand.
40:27A clever thief who had access to this room.
40:31Someone who wanted money.
40:34And to discredit me with my wards.
40:38Must we stay here all night listening to this nonsense?
40:41I'm getting bored, too.
40:43Come on, Dan.
40:49How's it going, Chief?
40:50How's it going?
40:51Well, somebody must have did it.
40:52I've done it.
40:54What were you angling for?
40:56I'm not angling yet.
40:57Just stocking the stream of fish.
40:59Bronson is the chap who be me in Craig's room.
41:01How do you know?
41:02I don't know, but that magnifying glass gave me a darn good hunch.
41:05Bronson is tied into this counterfeit ring.
41:07And there's a third party.
41:11If you have a lead, come across.
41:13I'd like to look around Martha's room.
41:15She knows something about something.
41:17You can't go in there.
41:18Turning respectable?
41:19You peeked into Miss Temple's bathroom.
41:20What?
41:25I can't see Martha in the picture.
41:27Everybody's in it.
41:28Oh, look.
41:29What is it?
41:30Just what I've been looking for.
41:33As an amateur, I always think there's lying down.
41:36Now, from here, I wonder where little Martha would hide a postage stand.
41:39Oh, quit stalling.
41:40You haven't any angle in here?
41:41Come on.
41:42Come on.
41:42Come on.
41:42Come on.
41:42Come on.
41:42Come on.
41:43Come on.
41:43Come on.
41:44Come on.
41:44Come on.
41:44Come on.
41:44Come on.
41:45Come on.
41:45Come on.
41:46Come on.
41:46Come on.
41:46Come on.
41:47Come on.
41:47Come on.
41:48Come on.
41:48Come on.
41:48Come on.
41:49Lie down, Martha.
41:57You're shaking like a leaf.
41:58I can't help it.
42:00Oh, why did this have to happen?
42:04I'll open the window.
42:05No.
42:05No, no.
42:07I love him.
42:07There's nothing to be frightened about.
42:10The police are everywhere.
42:12Ring.
42:13You do love him, don't you?
42:14You want to help him?
42:15Donald?
42:16Why, of course.
42:18Didn't I say I was with him when I wasn't?
42:21That's right.
42:22We've got to help him.
42:23Listen.
42:25I stole three of Uncle Alec's stamps.
42:28They were supposed to be worth $2,000.
42:30You stole them?
42:31For you and Donald.
42:32To help you.
42:33Not for myself.
42:34Then I found they were worthless.
42:36Counterfeit.
42:37Someone else who had the same idea.
42:39Someone who needed money.
42:41Don't you see?
42:42It must have been Donald.
42:45No.
42:46It isn't true.
42:47Craig made those promises.
42:49Then he and Donald quarreled about money.
42:51And this afternoon...
42:51He didn't kill anybody.
42:53You don't know what you're saying.
42:54You're insane.
42:55Am I?
42:56Am I?
42:57That isn't all I know.
42:59I won't listen to another word.
43:00I won't.
43:00We'll take these if you don't mind.
43:14We heard everything, Miss Kirk.
43:15Stamp racket right under our noses.
43:17And Donald...
43:17Donald wasn't to blame.
43:19He was after the Chinese Mandarin.
43:20No.
43:21Why should he want it?
43:22It was the only one of its kind in the world.
43:23He couldn't sell it.
43:24But he could sell the counterfeits Craig was going to make for him.
43:26He stood to clean up half a million with them.
43:28Well, then why should he kill him?
43:30He needed him.
43:31Yes, you're right.
43:32But Donald wanted money.
43:33Sure.
43:34That's why Craig was more valuable to him alive than dead.
43:38Why should he kill him?
43:39He didn't.
43:41Now, if you'll help us, maybe we can help you.
43:43I told you everything I know.
43:46All right.
43:46Then we'll take Donald downtown and make him talk.
43:49No.
43:50No, don't.
43:51I'll talk.
43:54The Chinese Mandarin.
43:56I saw it put behind the stamp frame in the stamp room.
43:59Who put it there?
44:00It was my...
44:02What was that?
44:08No, it sounded like a shot.
44:09What's happened now?
44:10Anything wrong, Chief?
44:11Wendy, round up everybody and hold them here.
44:16She knew too much.
44:19Where'd that shot come from?
44:20I'll tell you in a minute.
44:27This door was open about two feet.
44:32Must have come from the library.
44:33Burnt powder.
44:40The shot was fired from in here, all right.
44:51Where'd you get this?
44:52I found it.
44:53Where?
44:53In your hand?
44:54No, I was out on the terrace.
44:55Someone threw it from in here.
44:56Look, I'm doing my best to protect you, but if you don't stop getting into trouble...
44:59I haven't done anything.
45:01You don't have to.
45:02Trouble just sneaks up and finds you.
45:03Now get in there and go around the living room and I'll act as if I didn't know anything.
45:07That'll be easy.
45:12Where's that girl?
45:13I haven't seen her all evening.
45:16This guy sneaked upon me at the foot of the stairs and tried to make a getaway.
45:19Get him in there and keep him there.
45:21The rest of you too, please.
45:24Where's Martha?
45:25I'll tell you in a minute.
45:28Is this going on all night?
45:33Whatever's happened, I bet this guy's at the bottom of it.
45:38Is anything wrong?
45:40Haven't I told you I asked the questions?
45:45Well, now you have two murders and a half dozen suspects.
45:47What are you going to do?
45:47I'm going to run them all in as soon as I find the killer's gun.
45:52Where'd you find this?
45:53Found it in the library near the terrace window.
45:56What a detective.
45:57Spoiling the fingerprints.
45:58Arthur Kirk's killer was too smart to leave fingerprints.
46:01Yeah.
46:05Police headquarters.
46:06Listen, Dad, you can't run in all that gang.
46:08Well, you'd have to build a new wing on the jail.
46:10I can't, huh?
46:10Well, at least I've got something and you've got exactly nothing.
46:14So I'll run things my way from now on.
46:15Hello.
46:16Go ahead.
46:17Put the skids under yourself.
46:18Break right into the comic strips.
46:20Inspector Queen arrests all the wrong people.
46:22Well, I've got to do something.
46:24Then stand by and watch me spring into action.
46:26Well, action's something I could use.
46:28I'll give you one more chance if you've got anything.
46:30I have a question.
46:31Did you see what Martha did?
46:32Yes, she got shot.
46:34No, no.
46:35I mean the way she fell.
46:36She fell dead.
46:37What the thunder are you driving at?
46:39But the way she fell.
46:41I feel something coming.
46:43Closing that door.
46:45That's it.
46:46I've got it.
46:48Let me, Duffy.
46:49I want to experiment.
46:50Now, you can't shoot Duffy.
46:51I don't intend to.
46:52Martha's murder told me all I need to know.
46:53Martha?
46:54Certainly.
46:54I'm going to show you how Craig's killer got out of that room.
46:57I don't like this.
46:58Oh, Dad, play ball with me and I'll win you a pennant.
47:00But if you're wrong, son.
47:01Oh.
47:02I'll eat this.
47:03Well, I'd hate to lose it that way.
47:09Where is Martha?
47:10Your sister's dead.
47:12Someone in this room fired the shot that killed her.
47:14Duffy.
47:15Yes?
47:17Off with the coat.
47:25Now, put these down your trouser legs.
47:26You're making me look silly.
47:28I'm the one who'll look silly if it doesn't work.
47:31Worked on Craig.
47:31Why not on Guppy?
47:34Ladies and gentlemen.
47:36You're about to witness an interesting experiment.
47:39I'm going to show you how the killer of Craig and of Martha Kirk got out of this room.
47:43It's a good trick.
47:44We've had too many tricks already.
47:47I don't like this.
47:49Craig didn't either.
47:50I don't like this.
47:57Now, I'm the murderer.
47:58I just shot Craig and took the Chinese Mandarin from him.
48:02Behold the body.
48:03No body.
48:05I dress him backwards like the Mandarin in the stamp.
48:07Why?
48:07Because you're crazy.
48:09But the killer wasn't crazy.
48:11The dressing of the dead Craig like the Mandarin in the stamp would make headlines the world over.
48:14Spectacular advertising to acquaint the buyers with the fact that the stamp was stolen for one purpose.
48:20To sell it.
48:20But no one would want to buy a stolen stamp.
48:23You're wrong, Miss Temple.
48:24There are many unscrupulous collectors that would ask no questions to get their hands on the Chinese Mandarin.
48:29So by means of a fantastic murder, the stolen wares are advertised.
48:33Now the counterfeiters go to work.
48:35There are three in this ring.
48:36One was a clever engraver.
48:38One was a salesman.
48:42And the third?
48:45Who knows?
48:48Craig became greedy.
48:49Here was the biggest haul of their careers.
48:51The famous Mandarin.
48:52He steals it and refuses to work with the others.
48:55They can't turn them in.
48:56He was right.
48:57But he was also very wrong.
48:59Craig, the engraver, is dead.
49:01But why the stiff pants and spears?
49:03The murderer used the spears to make the limp body rigid.
49:06Why?
49:07So he'll stand up.
49:08Correct.
49:09Go to the head of the class.
49:11Now I stand the body against the door thusly.
49:16Oh.
49:17I notice I have blood on my hands.
49:19Blood from the body.
49:20Would you, uh, just as Lee referred to me as Exhibit A?
49:24I think fast.
49:26I must wash my hands, but there's no water here.
49:28And no water where I'm going.
49:36Tangerines contain water.
49:40I take one.
49:41Now I establish my carefully planned alibi.
49:46This boat, by the way, is well oiled.
49:49Watch it closely.
49:50I use it.
50:00It's please.
50:12Safe behind that locked door, I, the killer, wash my hands with the juice of this tangerine.
50:16and I eat the peeling.
50:18Horrible.
50:18But necessary.
50:20Then I hide the stamp behind the picture.
50:22Now the police have something to worry about.
50:24Get me out of this straitjacket.
50:27Very interesting, Mr. Queen.
50:30But how could the killer escape by that room?
50:33You forget.
50:35I was in there.
50:36That's right, you were.
50:37Who did I say the killer was?
50:39My Dr. Kirk.
50:40Right.
50:41Don't you get it, doctor?
50:42You killed Craig.
50:44Stop, stop clowning.
50:46Now what are you going to do with a man like that?
50:49Here I work out a perfectly beautiful solution,
50:51and he won't admit he's guilty.
50:52I'd like to oblige you, but...
50:54Come on, Doc.
50:54Be a sport.
50:56He's worked so hard.
50:57You're joking.
50:59I'm a sick man.
51:00I couldn't...
51:00Now you're joking.
51:01You develop rheumatism very conveniently.
51:03Would give you the appearance of being weak,
51:05should we say pale and interesting.
51:07All of this took place immediately on receipt of a letter from Miss Temple,
51:10saying she was bringing the Chinese Mandarin to you.
51:12Just doesn't make sense.
51:14That, my dear doctor, is exactly what you found out.
51:16You set a death trap for Miss Temple, and Craig walked into it.
51:20You've been investing your wards' money in rare stamps.
51:22Stamps have cost plenty, but the money went into your own pocket,
51:25and you gave Irene and Moth a counterfeit made for you by Craig.
51:29And Bronson helped you, too, dispose of other counterfeits.
51:31But I didn't kill Craig.
51:32I didn't know anything about it.
51:33He did it.
51:34Put him up.
51:36You two, officer.
51:38Get over there.
51:38Now, one move from any of you, and the inspector gets it.
51:45Your theories are pretty good, Mr. Queen.
51:48But you haven't got me yet.
51:49Dr. Kirk!
51:50Dr. Kirk, all the most exciting things have happened.
51:52Look what the postman gave me!
51:55Oh!
51:55It's my stand.
52:00The Chinese Mandarin.
52:06Well, there's your case, Inspector.
52:09Where's my hundred?
52:10I'm going to use it to buy my way into the firm of Ellery, Queen, and Father.
52:14What do you say?
52:15A pair of queens is hard to beat.
52:19Three queens are better.
52:20What do you say?
52:21I?
52:22I pass.
52:32Folks, you must stop wrestling in the halls.
