00:00:00Oh
00:00:30Your name, please?
00:00:54Marjorie Burns.
00:00:56Your occupation?
00:00:58Well, I was a detective at a department store.
00:01:02What is your name?
00:01:03Jimmy Kelly.
00:01:05I am a detective.
00:01:07At least you two should be able to keep track of each other.
00:01:12You sign.
00:01:14We'd like to get married.
00:01:16Right away.
00:01:17If you're in a hurry, I'm afraid you're in the wrong state.
00:01:21I have a friend, a justice of the peace, crossed the line.
00:01:24I'd be only too happy to send him a telegram.
00:01:28He'd want me to meet you at Red Rock Tavern.
00:01:30Oh, that'd be very nice of you.
00:01:34Are you married?
00:01:37No.
00:01:39I was born this way.
00:01:40I was born this way.
00:01:42I was born this way.
00:01:42I was born this way.
00:01:43I was born this way.
00:01:44I was born this way.
00:01:45I was born this way.
00:01:46I was born this way.
00:01:47I was born this way.
00:01:48I was born this way.
00:01:49I was born this way.
00:01:50I was born this way.
00:01:51I was born this way.
00:01:52I was born this way.
00:01:53I was born this way.
00:01:54I was born this way.
00:01:55I was born this way.
00:01:56I was born this way.

00:02:02I was born this way.
00:02:03I was born this way.
00:02:04I was born this way.
00:02:05I was born this way.
00:02:06I was born this way.
00:02:37This is the kind of night that gives me the willies.
00:02:49Something's always giving you the willies.
00:02:51As soon as I can save enough money, I'm going to get out of here.
00:02:56I want to be where there's light.
00:03:00Sounds like the wailing of ghosts.
00:03:04What makes ghosts wail, Mrs. Jameson?
00:03:07Oh, Bert, don't ask foolish questions.
00:03:11Go and put another log on the fire.
00:03:14Yeah.
00:03:16Say, Mason, why do you think Wentworth asked us to meet him here?
00:03:21I haven't the slightest idea.
00:03:24But whatever he has on his mind must be important.
00:03:26Bill's message read the same as ours.
00:03:30But what I can't understand is why he wants to see Gloria.
00:03:44You're not bad at this gag.
00:03:47Have I told you anything yet?
00:03:48Yes, I've taken that journey that you mentioned.
00:03:52And if I place this dark woman properly, you've told me plenty.
00:03:55I should go into this thing as a business instead of...
00:03:58That's a bad card, isn't it?
00:04:04That is the card of death, Harrison.
00:04:12Well, it's funny.
00:04:14I feel all right.
00:04:17Sometimes, cards lie.
00:04:21Personally, I haven't much confidence in this sort of thing.
00:04:23Oh, that's a bad sign.
00:04:46Well, at any rate, I'll be careful.
00:04:47That's always a good idea.
00:04:56You'll excuse me.
00:04:57I think I'll go to my room.
00:04:59Certainly.
00:05:17There we are, honey.
00:05:38I sure could use a nice fireplace.
00:05:40Can I help you?
00:05:41Yeah, you got a fireplace?
00:05:43We got one inside.
00:05:45Well, the fireplace won't come, John.
00:05:47I guess we'll have to go to him.
00:05:48Keep the change.
00:05:50Here you are, honey.
00:06:00Well, there it is.
00:06:11My name's Kelly.
00:06:12Has there been a man adjusted to the peace looking for me?
00:06:15No.
00:06:16That's funny.
00:06:17It'll be slightly inconvenient, too.
00:06:19Well, are you sure you're in the right place?
00:06:21Well, this is the Red Rock Tavern, isn't it?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24Well, if my man shows up, I'll only need one room.
00:06:27If he don't, I'll have to have two.
00:06:35I'm sorry.
00:06:36We can't accommodate you, sir.
00:06:38You can't?
00:06:39No, sir.
00:06:40No, we haven't any vacancies.
00:06:41Well, that's that.
00:06:44You mind if we hang around a bit until the justice shows up?
00:06:47Why, no.
00:06:48Thanks.
00:06:55Well, what's the good news?
00:06:56It's all bad, honey.
00:06:58The guy hasn't shown.
00:06:59It looks like we'll have to sleep standing.
00:07:01It's got me.
00:07:02Joint like this out in the middle of nowhere and doing more business in the Grand Central Railroad Station.
00:07:06What will I do with these?
00:07:09Oh, just leave them there.
00:07:12Yes.
00:07:14Oh, what a spot.
00:07:16Is this better than chasing petty thieves through a department store, I ask?
00:07:22Yes, it sure is.
00:07:24Oh, starting to answer your own questions, huh?
00:07:26Now, don't stop me.
00:07:27Oh, I'm full of romance.
00:07:31Must be this tavern.
00:07:33The fireplace.
00:07:35I feel so poetic.
00:07:38I could make love to a snowman.
00:07:40If that justice of the peace doesn't show up, the chances are you'll have to.
00:07:44Oh, dear.
00:07:46You know, it is peaceful here and quiet.
00:07:49It's nice.
00:07:50Down here, man!
00:07:51What is that?
00:07:52It came from Harrison's room.
00:07:54What happened?
00:08:03The guards didn't lie.
00:08:06Come on, Jimmy.
00:08:07Wait a minute, punk.
00:08:08You're liable to poke your face in where it doesn't belong.
00:08:10You hug your fire, I'll see what this is all about.
00:08:13I'm through.
00:08:15Through.
00:08:17I can't breathe.
00:08:19It's getting tired.
00:08:22I'm afraid to die.
00:08:24Look at those marks on his throat.
00:08:31That police dog must have done it.
00:08:34Their teeth marks, all right.
00:08:36What's going on here?
00:08:48I don't exactly know.
00:08:50I heard a terrible moan from Mr. Harrison's room.
00:08:54We'll take care of that killer.
00:08:55What's going on here, sir?
00:09:02Well?
00:09:03Harrison's dead.
00:09:05Where are you going?
00:09:06To get my gun.
00:09:07That dog will never attack anyone else.
00:09:09I should have had that dog put out of the way a long time ago.
00:09:29He's a killer.
00:09:30Powered wolf.
00:09:30Well, what do you think?
00:09:37He hasn't showed up yet.
00:09:39Who?
00:09:39The justice of the peace.
00:09:41No, no, no.
00:09:42I mean about the case.
00:09:44I didn't come here to solve any murder mysteries.
00:09:46My object is marriage.
00:09:50You better be careful of him.
00:09:51Don't worry.
00:09:52I will.
00:10:04You know, it might not be a bad idea to phone the coroner.
00:10:08Yes.
00:10:09Surely.
00:10:10I'll do it for you, Mrs. Jameson.
00:10:12Oh, will you please?
00:10:14Gladly.
00:10:17Give me the coroner's office.
00:10:19I knew this would happen.
00:10:20Huh?
00:10:21I warned Harrison.
00:10:27How did you know the dog was going to attack him?
00:10:31I'll tell you something else.
00:10:34Everyone here is in the shadow of death.
00:10:38The same thing that happened to Harrison might happen to you.
00:10:42Or you.
00:10:46Or me.
00:10:47Come on, sis.
00:10:47Let us in on your secret.
00:10:48I read it in the cards.
00:10:52You mean you're a mind reader?
00:10:54Oh, cut it out, honey.
00:10:55A mind reader reads minds.
00:10:57You're letting yourself open for a wisecrack there, Jimmy.
00:11:00You stop your clowning.
00:11:02This is a very serious situation.
00:11:06She reads it in the cards.
00:11:08Personally, I think it's a lot of hoey.
00:11:10And I'd suggest that you get over here as soon as possible.
00:11:19That's fine.
00:11:21Goodbye.
00:11:21Goodbye.
00:11:21Goodbye.
00:11:21Goodbye.

00:11:50the coroner well I'll wait up for him you folks had better get to bed say couldn't you put us up

00:19:03Uh, why, about 10 miles.
00:19:06They should have been here by now.
00:19:08Maybe I'd better call him again.
00:19:10Supposing I call him this time.
00:19:18Hello? Hello?
00:19:27Now what's wrong?
00:19:55That's what I'm going to try and find out.

00:20:20Hello?
00:20:21Hello?
00:20:22Hello?
00:20:23Hmm.
00:20:25Well, that's a clever dog.
00:20:54After he kills his victims, he cuts the telephone wires.
00:20:58What?
00:20:59That's impossible.
00:21:00You're telling me?
00:21:02How do you figure it out?
00:21:04Well, uh, I haven't yet.
00:21:08Of course.
00:21:09You're the logical man to solve this mystery.
00:21:13Now, what do you mean by that crack?
00:21:15Being a detective, you're naturally more familiar with murders.
00:21:19That is, if these were murders...
00:21:22Oh, are you a policeman?
00:21:24Well, I am an officer, but I'm traveling incognito.
00:21:28I thought you came in a bus.
00:21:30Shut up!
00:21:34Say, how did you know I was a cop?
00:21:38Your feet gave you away.
00:21:41You're not doing so bad yourself there, partner.
00:21:47And what do you think of that?
00:21:49No to me.
00:21:57No to me.
00:21:58Jane, you're a cop.
00:21:59Yeah, I can't get you out there yet.
00:22:04No to me.
00:22:05They're looking at me.
00:22:06No to me.
00:22:07I'm a cop.
00:22:08I think I can imagine me.
00:22:10That's Margie!
00:22:18What happened, honey?
00:22:19The dog! He tried to get into my room!
00:22:23Are you sure?
00:22:24What do you mean am I sure?
00:22:26Do you think I could get in this nervous condition all by myself?
00:22:29I can't understand it!
00:22:32I was practicing to be a dutiful wife.
00:22:40I don't think I could get in this nervous system.
00:22:46Darling, will you please hush up? Come on!
00:22:52Are you all right?
00:22:53Yes!
00:22:53What do you mean, yes?
00:22:55Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf!
00:22:58Say, you seem sorry I wasn't bitten to death.
00:23:01Margie, will you please hush? Come on.
00:23:04What do you mean, come on?
00:23:05I want to talk to you!
00:23:06But that dog in there can't...
00:23:07Don't worry, nothing's gonna hurt you!
00:23:10Oh, it was nice knowing you, gentlemen.
00:23:16What do you think?
00:23:18Do I have to tell?
00:23:28You know, that girl's troubled with hallucinations.
00:23:32I don't think I'll wait any longer.
00:23:34Will you please make arrangements to have me driven back to town?
00:23:37I'm sorry.
00:23:38We're having a car on the place.
00:23:39You'll have to wait for the morning bus.
00:23:41Well, uh, I don't believe there's a chance of any of us getting much sleep tonight.
00:23:45Suppose I make some coffee.
00:23:47That's a grand idea, Mrs. Jameson.
00:23:49And I second the motion.
00:23:51All right.
00:23:52What makes you so sure that the dog I saw wasn't the one that killed those two men?
00:23:56They were not killed by a dog.
00:23:58Come on, come on, break down.
00:24:01I hate mysteries.
00:24:02Why, I don't even eat hash.
00:24:05Listen, you better sit down again.
00:24:07I just got up.
00:24:09You might as well sit down because what I'm going to tell you is going to knock you down anyway.
00:24:12So, Jane, just as well relax.
00:24:15See that?
00:24:19Don't tell me you joined the Elks.
00:24:20Oh.
00:24:22That's a dog's tooth.
00:24:24I found it in Hughes' room after he was killed.
00:24:26And get this.
00:24:27That's not the tooth of any live animal.
00:24:31There's no flesh around the end.
00:24:33And the enamel's worn off.
00:24:34What in the world are you driving at?
00:24:37The person that killed those two men
00:24:39used a set of false dog teeth.
00:24:44Say, this is thrilling.
00:24:46Boy, can I use this.
00:24:54Sugar?
00:25:04Harrison always liked coffee.
00:25:06Oh, come on, Gloria.
00:25:08Snap out of it.
00:25:09I wish I could.
00:25:10You have nothing to worry about.
00:25:12All the windows are locked.
00:25:13That's not going to do any good.
00:25:15It's closer than that.
00:25:19I can feel destruction.
00:25:22Near me.
00:25:23Well, drink your coffee, my dear.
00:25:25I'm sure it will make you feel better.
00:25:27Now, remember what I told you.
00:25:28The first thing we've got to do is to find a motive.
00:25:31Well, I don't think it's up here.
00:25:33Oh, you're impossible.
00:25:36Come on, five and ten cents store detective.
00:25:39This is certainly grand coffee, Mrs. Jameson.
00:25:44How do you feel now?
00:25:46All right.
00:25:53Well, you're just in time.
00:25:56I hope you don't mind my inviting strangers to your party, Mrs. Jameson.
00:26:00Why, not at all.
00:26:01Bert, bring two more.
00:26:03Well, I see you've pulled yourself together.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09Yes, I was a little upset myself.
00:26:12And how do you feel?
00:26:14Oh, never mind.
00:26:14I have a rough idea how you feel.
00:26:17You can joke if you want to.
00:26:19Before this night is over,
00:26:21you'll wish you never came here.
00:26:23Say,
00:26:24what do you think I'm having, a picnic?
00:26:26Oh, thank you, Bert.
00:26:30That must be Wentworth.
00:26:39Maybe it's the justice of the peace.
00:26:41Oh, thank heaven you're here.
00:27:00Oh, thank heaven you're here.
00:27:01We thought maybe you had an accident or something.
00:27:03Glad to see you, Wentworth.
00:27:05Sorry if I'm late, Mason,
00:27:07but I left just as soon as I got your wire.
00:27:10You received a message from me?
00:27:13Why, yes.
00:27:15There's something queer going on around here.
00:27:17We all received wires to meet you here.
00:27:20That's right.
00:27:21And they were signed Wentworth.
00:27:25It's a trick, Mason.
00:27:26It's a trick.
00:27:29Well, where's Harrison and Hughes?
00:27:32They're dead.
00:27:34What?
00:27:35Yes.
00:27:38I knew this would happen.
00:27:40What happened?
00:27:43Where are you, Jimmy?
00:27:44Here I am.
00:27:45Get all of my hands.
00:27:46What's going on here?
00:27:48There must be a fuse burned out.
00:27:49I hope you're right.
00:28:03Oh, now what?
00:28:05There's nothing to worry about.
00:28:07Much.
00:28:07Oh, now don't tell me that's a canary.
00:28:17Stay right here.
00:28:19Jimmy!
00:28:21Jimmy!
00:28:21Jimmy!
00:28:21Jimmy!
00:28:37Hello, boy.
00:28:43You want to get in where it's warm?
00:28:46Yes, but you want to help me find out who's blaming you for these killings?
00:28:50Huh?
00:28:50Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:28:53Let's see, Mother Good.
00:28:54If I can find a piece of rope.
00:29:05Ah.
00:29:07This is better.
00:29:08Jimmy!
00:29:33Jimmy!
00:29:34Jimmy!
00:29:34Jimmy!
00:29:34Oh, Jimmy, if this is a gag, I'll break your neck.
00:29:56Who is she?
00:30:04Can't you fix these lights?
00:30:16This darkness is driving me mad.
00:30:19It's little Jimmy Kelly, and I've caught the killer.
00:30:37Oh, I could break your neck.
00:30:40Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:30:49Say, how did you manage to get a hold of him?
00:31:01I found him out there by that shed.
00:31:02He's a wild baby, all right, but I don't think he'll cause us any more trouble now.
00:31:05I'll say he won't.
00:31:07Are you sure this is the dog we want?
00:31:11Positively.
00:31:12I saw him in Harrison's room.
00:31:14You killer.
00:31:15This is the animal that killed Harrison and Hughes.
00:31:23Have you got a gun?
00:31:24No.
00:31:25Well, Hughes had one.
00:31:28Don't go in there, Mr. Mason.
00:31:32Why not?
00:31:33He's dead.
00:31:35Well, that is news.
00:31:45He sure wants to get rid of this dog, but I can't understand why Jameson said he was
00:32:07part wolf.
00:32:10I think I got the motive.
00:32:12What is it?
00:32:13Revenge.
00:32:14Revenge of what and by whom?
00:32:17Well, I didn't get that far, but...
00:32:20Huh?
00:32:21What are you harring me for?
00:32:22Well, didn't you say something?
00:32:23No.
00:32:24Oh, I must have been hearing things.
00:32:26You're beginning to get warnings, just like I did.
00:32:31Oh, what are you harring me for?
00:32:33Well, didn't you say something?
00:32:35No.
00:32:36Oh, I must have been hearing things.
00:32:38You're beginning to get warnings, just like I did.
00:32:42Oh, they must have paid their light bill.
00:32:49You know, there's something that I'm going to train you to do after we get married.
00:32:53What's that?
00:32:54Keep quiet.
00:32:55I guess Mason's having trouble finding that gun.
00:33:00I'll give him a hand.
00:33:01Yeah, and hurry it up.
00:33:02Something's happened to Mason.
00:33:03Here.
00:33:04Hold that dog.
00:33:05Get that dog.
00:33:06Get that dog.
00:33:07He's dead all right.
00:33:08He killed the same way as the others.
00:33:09But that's impossible.
00:33:10The dog was in there, muzzled.
00:33:11And it wasn't the dog.
00:33:12How could it be?
00:33:13You're right.
00:33:14He killed the same way as the others.
00:33:16But that's impossible.
00:33:17The dog was in there, muzzled.
00:33:18And it wasn't the dog.
00:33:19How could it be?
00:33:20You're right.
00:33:21These men were killed by a human who in some way used dog's teeth in order to throw the
00:33:22suspicion off of himself.
00:33:23I've known this for an hour.
00:33:24I suspected Mason as being the guilty person.
00:33:25He killed the dog.
00:33:26It was a good man.
00:33:27And this was a good man.
00:33:28He was a good man.
00:33:29He's killed the same way as the others.
00:33:30And he killed the same way as the others.
00:33:33But it was a bad man.
00:33:34He killed the same way as the others.
00:33:35That's impossible.
00:33:36The dog was in there, muzzled.
00:33:37And it wasn't the dog.
00:33:38How could it be?
00:33:39be. You're right. These men were killed by a human who in some way used dog's teeth in order to throw
00:33:44the suspicion off of himself. I've known this for an hour. I suspected Mason as being the guilty
00:33:50person. I tried to trap him. I'll have to ask you all to line up in the next room. What right of you
00:33:57to tell us what to do? He's a detective or something. Come on, line up in the next room. And who are you?
00:34:04I'm something too. You'll hurt her. Now, I'll have to take charge. We all know this animal didn't kill
00:34:20anybody. Let them loose. Well, this is terrible. I don't know what to do. Why we may all be killed.
00:34:29Probably the killer's in this room right now. Where's the nearest telephone around here?
00:34:34The gas station about two miles down the road. I want you to phone as quickly as you can and have
00:34:39the police come here. Yes, sir. Hey, and bring the coroner along, too. All right, folks. Line up.
00:34:48Let's do this thing systematically. What's the idea? If anybody's got any guns on them around here,
00:34:54I want to know where they are. You frisk the ladies. Right. But there hasn't been any gunplay.
00:35:00No, there isn't going to be any. All right, fellas. Don't you think it was a bad idea to send that man
00:35:07for the police? I'll ask all the questions, my friend. Come on, Pollyanna. And I hope you're not ticklish.
00:35:14Please, Mrs. Jameson. Come on, Pollyanna. My, my. You should reduce.
00:35:36I'm sorry. I, uh, don't suppose you could get out of that chair. I could if you would help
00:35:48me. Surely.
00:35:49All right.
00:36:04All right.
00:36:19Mr. Jameson. You understand. Hmm. Certainly. I'm as anxious to have this murderer caught
00:36:27as you are. Maybe more so. I wouldn't have a chance to fight for my life. There, there,
00:36:35Mr. Jameson. Don't excite yourself. Now that we've exposed the killer's methods, maybe he
00:36:40won't strike again. Let us hope not.
00:36:49Where do you keep your guests registered? I'm on the hotel desk. Well, that's kind of natural.
00:36:57How we doing, babe?
00:37:01Harrison's from Philadelphia. Hughes from Portland. Mason from Chicago. And Gloria Roloff from Mexico
00:37:07City.
00:37:09Why did you tell me there was a copper here? We didn't know it ourselves until a few minutes
00:37:14before you arrived. We have no way of warning you.
00:37:15Well, it's all clear to me now. He's the one that sent us those wires.
00:37:21That's possible. But it still doesn't account for the murders.
00:37:26No. They're from all parts of the country.
00:37:29Well, maybe it's a convention.
00:37:38Come here, you three.
00:37:45Sit down. I want to ask you people a few questions.
00:37:50Well, what's on your mind?
00:37:53Tell me, how did it happen that six people, you and the three men that were murdered, got
00:37:57here at practically the same time?
00:38:00Well, it might have been a coincidence.
00:38:02That's right, but it wasn't.
00:38:04This isn't the tourist season. Matter of fact, there hasn't been a guest in this tavern for
00:38:07two weeks.
00:38:08Now, just a minute.
00:38:09Are you trying to solve this mystery or pin something on us?
00:38:14Both.
00:38:16I have a hunch that you and your party came here with one definite purpose.
00:38:20If you wouldn't mind telling me who suggested this place to you, we might be able to clear
00:38:24this whole situation up.
00:38:25Well, I got a message from Harrison and this gentleman here.
00:38:30I thought you only knew Harrison slightly.
00:38:33That's my business.
00:38:34Maybe so.
00:38:36It might interest you to know that whoever got you here, got you here with one idea in
00:38:41mind.
00:38:41And what was that?
00:38:43To kill you all.
00:38:45I knew it.
00:38:48I knew it.
00:38:49So, you see, gentlemen, the only way for you to help yourselves is to come clean.
00:38:55We'll do anything we can to help you.
00:38:57Why, certainly.
00:38:57Of course we will.
00:38:58Now, gentlemen, that we understand each other, is there anyone you know who would want to
00:39:03put you out of the way?
00:39:05That is, individually, or shall we say as a gang?
00:39:11No.
00:39:12Take a look through the luggage, kid.
00:39:14Maybe you can find a clue.
00:39:15Mrs. Jameson.
00:39:15Yes?
00:39:17Would you mind going with her, please?
00:39:19Why, certainly not.
00:39:21Let's go.
00:39:28I'm not much on this detective business, but if it's true that somebody planned to get
00:39:33these people here to kill them, then there are only three people who can be considered
00:39:38suspects.
00:39:39And those are myself, my wife, and Bert.
00:39:43Surely you have servants around this place.
00:39:45Yes, we have two maids, but they left shortly after dinner.
00:39:48How do you know they didn't come back?
00:39:50Just a minute.
00:39:51What was your idea?
00:39:53He could have done it.
00:39:54He could have even cut the telephone wires.
00:39:57But I didn't.
00:39:58Mr. Jameson didn't say that you did.
00:40:00He said that you could have.
00:40:02And how do we know that Hughes wasn't killed until after this man went into his room?
00:40:09What?
00:40:11Well, I could have done it, too.
00:40:15I was just getting around to that.
00:40:21Perhaps it's in the closet.
00:40:23Yep.
00:40:24We'll soon find out if that gal brought any of her secrets with her.
00:40:29Oh, I'm tired of all this.
00:40:30I'm leaving.
00:40:31No, you're not.
00:40:31One of Mr. Jameson's three guesses might be right.
00:40:34But I can clear myself easily enough.
00:40:36The bus driver can verify that I...
00:40:37You're staying just the same.
00:40:39Say.
00:40:41You could be the guy that's doing the dirty work.
00:40:43I've heard of phony detectives before.
00:40:45Wait a minute.
00:40:47Now, let's try and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:49Would you folks mind telling me what racket you're in?
00:41:01Chances are all we'll find the deck of cards.
00:41:07This is one time it won't do you any good not to talk.
00:41:09Why, you...
00:41:10Why, you...
00:41:23Come on, let's get out of here.
00:41:30It's locked.
00:41:40We can get out of one of the windows.
00:41:41Well, let's hurry.
00:41:42Hurry.
00:41:42Well, we can't get out of here.
00:42:01There's no bars on the windows in Harrison's room.
00:42:03Where is it?
00:42:04Follow me.
00:42:17We're at noobes!
00:42:18Down the window!
00:42:22There is a trap to kill us all!
00:42:24Wait a minute.
00:42:25Maybe that detective can help us.
00:42:27We're shy.
00:42:27Oh, we're caged like a bunch of rats!
00:42:34Oh, I owe you some.
00:42:36Wait a minute, buddy.
00:42:37Now, hold it.
00:42:38Now, just a minute.
00:42:39We made a mistake.
00:42:40We shouldn't have done it.
00:42:41Your life is just as much danger as ours.
00:42:43Listen to me, will you?
00:42:44The door's bolted.
00:42:45All the wind is abhorred.
00:42:46We're going to die, all of us.
00:42:47You've got to help us.
00:42:48Somebody's got to help us.
00:42:49Come on, buddy.
00:42:50I don't see what I can do.
00:42:52Oh, we've made enemies.
00:42:54Lots of them.
00:42:55We've been smuggling jewels across the border.
00:42:57Oh, I see.
00:43:08Hey, wait a minute.
00:43:21Jewel thieves!
00:43:23Oh!
00:43:25Oh, why, look!
00:43:26Here's one as big as a hen's egg.
00:43:29Boy, I'd like to be able to find the hen that could lay that egg.
00:43:40Well, at least we know what their racket is.
00:43:43Can't you think of some person or persons that would want to get you out of the way?
00:43:47How about that guy that accidentally fell off the truck about a year ago?
00:43:51You know, he blamed us.
00:43:52Oh, no.
00:43:53We took care of him.
00:43:54Mrs. Jameson, I'd like to ask you a question.
00:44:07Yes, what is it?
00:44:08Did you build this place?
00:44:09No.
00:44:10Mm-hmm.
00:44:11Why?
00:44:13Why do you ask?
00:44:14Well, from what these people tell me, it was constructed for just such a situation as this.
00:44:18Why, I don't understand.
00:44:20Every window in this place is barred.
00:44:23I can't believe that.
00:44:28Oh, Jimmy!
00:44:30What is it?
00:44:32Come here a minute, will you?
00:44:33I'll show you.
00:44:39Jimmy!
00:44:40Huh?
00:44:41I want to talk to you.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:45I've got a clue.
00:44:46You have?
00:44:47Uh-huh.
00:44:48They're jewel smugglers.
00:44:51You're terrific.
00:44:54I'll still show you.
00:45:03There you are.
00:45:05Why?
00:45:06I can't understand it.
00:45:33I've got to see you.
00:46:00Oh, please don't bother me.
00:46:01Can't you see I'm in enough trouble?
00:46:04From whom did you buy this place?
00:46:06Why, we read it from a Mr. Morgan.
00:46:09He's the owner.
00:46:09Oh, Jimmy, look.
00:46:10Oh, please hush.
00:46:12What kind of a man is this Morgan?
00:46:14Very odd.
00:46:15He wears large spectacles.
00:46:18He's an inventor, a scientist.
00:46:20When did you see him last?
00:46:22Well, that's strange, but we haven't seen him since the day we took the place.
00:46:26Neither he nor a representative have called to collect the rent.
00:46:29Would you know where to reach him?
00:46:30No, he said he'd get in touch with us.
00:46:35Got another clue?
00:46:36Yes.
00:46:37Well, keep it.
00:46:38Do you know a man by the name of Morgan?
00:46:46Morgan?
00:46:47Yes, I know several men by the name of Morgan.
00:46:50One of them was an inventor.
00:46:52We financed him.
00:46:53Would there be any reason for this man wanting to kill you?
00:46:55No, that is, if I...
00:46:58Jimmy, I must see you.
00:46:59Well, take a good look.
00:47:01This is important.
00:47:08What's the big idea?
00:47:10I think Jameson is the man we want.
00:47:13For what?
00:47:14Listen, Jimmy.
00:47:15I saw him get out of his chair and walk.
00:47:18Well, why didn't you tell me?
00:47:20What do you think I've been trailing you around for?
00:47:23Exercise?
00:47:24Oh, stop clowning.
00:47:26Are you sure you saw him walk?
00:47:27Positive.
00:47:28I always thought there was something phony about that guy.
00:47:32Where's his room?
00:47:33Come on.
00:47:42Did you want to see me?
00:47:43Come on.
00:47:45Why, uh, yes, uh, Mr. Jameson, I, uh, I've been thinking over what you said about those
00:48:01three out there, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you didn't come pretty close to
00:48:04hitting the nail on the head.
00:48:06I'm going to question them further, and I'd like to have you give me a hand.
00:48:09You can watch their reactions.
00:48:12I'd be glad to help.
00:48:15Now let's get back to this Morgan fellow.
00:48:21How long is it since you've seen him?
00:48:23Oh, about six months.
00:48:26That was about the time you took this place, wasn't it, Mrs. Jameson?
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:29Yes.
00:50:00Well, exactly.
00:50:10Mrs. Jameson, could I have a glass of water, please?
00:50:14Why, certainly.
00:50:15I'll take these things out, too.
00:50:23Did you find anything?
00:50:24Give.
00:50:42Here's something that belongs to you.
00:50:43It's the dog's head.
00:50:45Where did you find that?
00:50:46Don't you remember where you put it?
00:50:47There must be some mistake.
00:50:51Oh, he can't be the killer.
00:50:52That's what you think.
00:50:55You mean, you suspect me of these crimes?
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00But, but I'm a helpless invalid.
00:51:03I can't even get out of this chair.
00:51:05That's what we thought.
00:51:06But I saw you get out of that chair and walk.
00:51:09Why did you kill Harrison, Hughes, and Mason?
00:51:11And why do you want to kill us?
00:51:12Release us from here.
00:51:13Let us out.
00:51:15Come on, confess.
00:51:16I'm the man you want.
00:51:22I killed him.
00:51:24I wanted to kill all of you, too.
00:51:27You what?
00:51:29I'm the murderer.
00:51:31I can't believe it.
00:51:33It's true.
00:51:34I thought I could get away with it.
00:51:37You see?
00:51:39I can walk.
00:51:46I've got strength in my hands, too.
00:51:54I put it on like this.
00:51:57And then I go for that throat.
00:51:58Stop him.
00:51:59He's killing him, Dylan.
00:51:59Take it easy.
00:52:00Not so fast.
00:52:16I'm sorry, now.
00:52:20I guess I was mad with hatred.
00:52:24Take me away.
00:52:27I'm your man.
00:52:30Why did you do this?
00:52:33You wouldn't understand.
00:52:36Get that rope over there.
00:52:38We'll tie his hands up until the police come.
00:52:40Why did you commit these crimes?
00:52:41Why?
00:52:44Well,
00:52:45What do you care?
00:52:48I've confessed, haven't I?
00:52:50I've confessed, haven't I?
00:53:15There's not much I can say.
00:53:21But I really feel sorry for you.
00:53:45You.
00:53:45What do you.
00:53:50You.
00:54:50It certainly is tough on Mrs. Jameson.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54I'm sure glad we caught him.
00:55:06You've done a swell job, honey.
00:55:08I'm kind of proud of you.
00:55:10Gee, it's nice to hear you say that, Jimmy.
00:55:12I wonder who he's trying to cover up.
00:55:18Who?
00:55:19Jameson.
00:55:21What are you talking about?
00:55:24He's not guilty.
00:55:25If he was, he'd know why he committed those crimes, wouldn't he?
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:36I guess so.
00:55:37Wait a minute.
00:55:42Wait a minute.
00:55:42Wait a minute.
00:55:46Wait a minute.
00:55:58Wait a minute.
00:58:58He isn't the killer?
00:58:59Absolutely not.
00:59:00The murderer is still at large.
00:59:02We cannot escape this death that is closing in on us.
00:59:04Come clean, Jamison.
00:59:05Come on, clean.
00:59:06I can't tell.
00:59:11I can't tell.
00:59:11I can't tell.
00:59:41I can't tell.
01:00:11You're all going to die.
01:00:19You're all going to die.
01:00:31You're all going to die.
01:00:39You're having a chance.
01:00:41For three years I've carefully planned this.
01:00:45There shall be no escape.
01:00:48In a few minutes we'll all be dead.
01:00:56Where'd that voice come from?
01:00:58From over there.
01:00:59From over there someplace.
01:00:59From over there someplace.
01:00:59It's the work of a maniac.
01:01:01You're all going to die.
01:01:08Uh-oh.
01:01:25Now what?
01:01:28We've got to work fast.
01:01:38It leads down in the cellar.
01:01:41If you're going down there, we'd better take this light.
01:02:08It was the phonograph record we heard.
01:02:22A pretty clever gag at that.
01:02:25Hey, this is just a trick to get us down here.
01:02:27See if that upstairs door is locked.
01:02:38I've got a few words to say to you, and you'll listen to me.
01:02:55You'd better listen too, Wentworth.
01:02:58Morgan?
01:02:59But you can't kill me!
01:03:01I spent a lifetime perfecting an invention that should have made me rich.
01:03:05You stole it from me.
01:03:06You stole my very life away.
01:03:09But we'll do anything to make matters right.
01:03:12It's too late.
01:03:14Can you give me back my life?
01:03:16Wait a minute.
01:03:18What I can't understand is, why is Jameson trying to cover you up?
01:03:23What are you talking about?
01:03:25He confessed he killed those three men.
01:03:28What three men?
01:03:30Why, Harrison, Mason, and Hughes.
01:03:34Are they dead?
01:03:36Didn't you know that?
01:03:40No.
01:03:41Then you're in a spot too.
01:03:45What do you mean?
01:03:46Never mind that.
01:03:47How did you get in here?
01:03:50Through that window.
01:03:52Then we can get out that way.
01:03:53Right.
01:03:54Why doesn't he kill us instead of torturing us this way?
01:04:09There should be no escape for you now.
01:04:12You must die.
01:04:15Where's Mrs. Jameson?
01:04:16Well, the last time I saw her was when I followed her down here.
01:04:19You followed her?
01:04:20Yeah, I had a hunch.
01:04:21Well, she isn't here now.
01:04:23Well, didn't she come up to the lobby before I did?
01:04:26Did any of you see her?
01:04:27No.
01:04:28I didn't.
01:04:29Then she's between here and the lobby.
01:04:31Will someone kindly tell me what's going on around here?
01:04:49Look!
01:04:50Say your prayers.
01:04:54Your time on this earth is limited to seconds.
01:04:59All of you must die.
01:05:03In this life that you are about to leave,
01:05:07the innocent must suffer.
01:05:10Yes, just like I have suffered.
01:05:16You're insane.
01:05:17If I am, Wentworth and his crowd have made me so.
01:05:23You didn't think you'd have to answer to me, did you?
01:05:28I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:30You wouldn't.
01:05:32You're very clever,
01:05:34but you're not as resourceful as a person fired with vengeance.
01:05:38The desire to right a great wrong.
01:05:42Give us a chance, Mrs. Jameson.
01:05:46Give you a chance.
01:05:49You didn't give Helen Armstrong a chance, did you?
01:05:53Helen Armstrong?
01:05:55What has she got to do with your murdering ass in cold blood?
01:05:58Everything.
01:06:00You framed an innocent young girl
01:06:02to smuggle jewels across the border.
01:06:05And then,
01:06:06rather than face the disgrace of going to prison,
01:06:09she killed herself.
01:06:11From that day,
01:06:13I determined
01:06:15that you were all under sentence of death.
01:06:19And now,
01:06:21now,
01:06:23I'm ready to carry out
01:06:25your execution.
01:06:28Helen Armstrong
01:06:29was my sister.
01:06:32When my husband first realized
01:06:35I'd used the dog's teeth to kill,
01:06:39he utilized almost superhuman strength
01:06:41to protect me.
01:06:44He even confessed to my crimes,
01:06:47knowing it was my love for Helen
01:06:50that brought you all here.
01:06:52I want you to look
01:06:57carefully
01:06:59in the ceiling.
01:07:03There you'll see a little glass bomb.
01:07:06All I have to do
01:07:11is to pull this cord.
01:07:14It will drop among you.
01:07:17The panel will close.
01:07:19And you'll be caught
01:07:21like rats in a trap.
01:07:23When you are all dead,
01:07:36I will burn the tavern
01:07:39and destroy all evidence.
01:07:42You'll be caught on,
01:07:50Mr. Jameson.
01:08:06I wonder what this means.
01:08:08I don't know.
01:08:09It wasn't this way
01:08:10when I left.
01:08:11Yeah?
01:08:12Here's a few customers for you.
01:08:19Book her for murder.
01:08:22They're smugglers.
01:08:23Here's a grip full of evidence.
01:08:25I'm sorry it took me so long,
01:08:27but...
01:08:28Right this way, coroner.
01:08:29Pardon me,
01:08:30but I'm the justice of the peace.
01:08:32Why, how are you, justice?
01:08:33Glad to see you.
01:08:34I thought you told me
01:08:36to get a justice of the peace.
01:08:38If I'm not greatly mistaken,
01:08:40we did want to see this gentleman.
01:08:41Why, sure,
01:08:43that's what we came here for.
01:08:49Step into the church.
01:08:52Do your stuff, justice.
01:08:53Do you take this woman
01:08:54to be your lawful wife?
01:08:55I do.
01:08:56Do you take this man
01:08:57to be your lawful wife?
01:08:58She does.
01:08:58I then declare you
01:09:00a man in life.
01:09:01That's done.
01:09:02A man in life.
01:09:02A man in life.
01:09:02A man in life.
01:09:03A man in life.
