00:00.
01:30The bank, yes.
01:31That vault popped open like a muffin.
01:33And the police.
01:34They were too fast for me to get clear away, so we'll proceed with the other plan.
01:38All right, come on, get away.
01:40Hey, son, now, please.
01:42One loon dandage flashes in and out of here before you know it.
01:45Now, all I want to know is that...
01:57I know, I know.
01:58I've had a report.
01:59Join the cordon, officer.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:00I'm Nielsen of the yard.
02:02This is Inspector to Dennis.
02:03We're taking charge.
02:03Well, you're a bit late.
02:05The bandit's gone.
02:06Shot away with 10,000 pounds of the bank's money.
02:08Well, he can't get far.
02:10Speed plan completed?
02:11Yes, sir.
02:11One minute after the alarm, our car's established a cordon around the entire district.
02:14Good.
02:15Our man must be inside that line.
02:17The net will close at the rate of one square an hour.
02:20Our fist can't possibly wriggle out of it.
02:21But suppose Mr. Barrows finds you.
02:23He'll know you're not one of his men.
02:25I'll say I'm taking your place because you're ill.
02:27But suppose the police come here?
02:28Suppose...
02:29What if they do?
02:30I'm ready for them.
02:32Mr. Armages, it's...
02:34It's an education to work with a man like you.
02:37Awkwardly.
02:50No, you!
02:51You!
02:52No!
02:53Remember what you promised.
02:55You're not going to play cups and robbers ever again.
02:58No, dearest, only I...
02:59Hugh Drummond, when are we going to be married?
03:01On the 10th, sweetheart.
03:02And how long is that?
03:03A day?
03:04Three days, sweetheart.
03:05Well, you don't forget it because if you do...
03:08Oh, Phyllis, you wouldn't marry that flight to Aldergate, would you?
03:10Hugh, I want to marry you more than anything else in the world.
03:13Oh, I knew you were only bluffing about Aldergate.
03:15But I've promised to marry Mr. Aldergate on the 11th.
03:18If you don't take me on the 10th,
03:19It's your last chance, Hugh Drummond, so help me.
03:22It's the only chance I'll ever need, darling.
03:25Aye!
03:26Aye!
03:28What are you two after?
03:30Cheap suicide?
03:31Pee!
03:31Pee!
03:32Pee!
03:32Pee!
03:33Pee!
03:33Pee!
03:34Pee!
03:34Pee!
03:36Pee!
03:38Pee!
03:40Pee!
03:41So what, darling, now, what's the problem?
03:42First, we'll go and see what the decorators are doing to our new home.
03:45Right.
03:49That's Nielson's car.
03:51Well, what if it is?
03:52Oh, look, didn't you see him wave at me?
03:53He needs me.
03:54Well, he'd never forgive me if I left him in the lurch, Pee, Pee.
03:56I'll be back in a jiffy.
03:59In half a jiffy.
04:01Don't hurry back on my account.
04:03You! You!
04:12Hey!
04:13Fishy-fishy in the brook. Papa catching with a hook.
04:16How's fishing, Inspector?
04:17Don't call me Inspector.
04:19Oh, how did you get here?
04:21Well, Colonel, I was having a little look-see at my new flap,
04:23and what did I hear but police cars?
04:25Hugh, isn't a bank robbery on my hands enough
04:28without having you in my hair and under my feet and between my teeth?
04:31Well, now, Colonel, after all I've done for Scotland Yard.
04:34After all you've done?
04:35Look here, sir.
04:36What's that?
04:39Army?
04:40Well, that's a new one, but we won't discuss that now.
04:43Hugh, go home, you young scamp.
04:47Please, go home.
04:48Go and marry that lovely girl of yours,
04:50and don't please come middling in my affairs.
04:53Why, Colonel, I wouldn't bother with a simple bank robbery because...
04:56Well, because what?
04:57Well, because it might just possibly be a case.
04:59Just possibly, mind you, a case that you could solve for yourself.
05:03That's all right.
05:04Good luck, Inspector. You'll need it.
05:06Inspector, you'll need it.
05:36Oh, sir.
05:37Oh, good luck.
05:38Oh.
05:39Here's my appointment.
05:40The entrance hall looks very nice, Mr. Barrow.
05:42Ah, but, madam, wait till you see the drawing room.
05:45Such a soft cream colour.
05:47Everything in the modern mode, madam.
05:48Yes, yes.
05:49Do you see what I see?
05:54Do you see what I see?
06:03What's the meaning of this?
06:06You'll pay for this, my man.
06:08I don't remember you.
06:10Ah, but you will.
06:12The world will remember me as a man who had courage.
06:15Courage to rebel against the everlasting monotony of white walls.
06:20Dead, flat, dull walls.
06:22A man can only go on painting white walls for so long.
06:26And then, psst, something snaps.
06:28Closer, come closer.
06:30You see what I'm doing?
06:31I express the human form divine,
06:34not in the vulgar terms of flesh and skin and hair,
06:37but as kitchenware.
06:41Notice how a cooking pot represents the essence of...
06:43Mad as a half.
06:44We'll send one ambulance.
06:46Modern art is dead.
06:48This is the art of tomorrow.
06:51Kitchenware.
06:51That's the secret.
06:53A pot for a face,
06:55a skillet for a body,
06:56and knives for fingers.
07:03Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
07:05Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
07:08Hello.
07:10I say, is Phyllis,
07:11I mean, Miss Clabbering about?
07:13I am Algie Longworth,
07:16and she promised to meet me here.
07:17I'm very happy to meet you, Mr. Longworth.
07:19Yeah.
07:23Miss Clabbering,
07:24is she the pretty girl with the green hair and the purple face?
07:28Yes.
07:28What?
07:30She was here.
07:31She went away.
07:33They all go away!
07:35They will look at my painting.
07:36Ah, but you.
07:40You are an intelligent man.
07:43You can appreciate it through your art when you see it.
07:46Look, isn't she lovely?
07:48Notice the delightful curves of the pot face?
07:52By all means, yes.
07:54You like it?
07:55You really like it?
07:56Terrific.
07:58I'm not just saying that.
07:59No, no, no, no, no.
08:01If you'll pardon me, I'll be popping, old boy.
08:04You don't like my painting.
08:06I should have known that a man would wear that tie with that suit
08:10would have no color sense at all.
08:16Look at yourself in the mirror.
08:23Now look at yourself in the mirror.
08:25Now look at yourself in the mirror.
08:31Now look at yourself in the mirror.
08:35Oh, this is too much.
08:36Too much?
08:37Not enough?
08:38No.
08:39Oh.
08:40Now look at yourself in the mirror.
08:42A masterpiece.
08:45Oh, so you're still against me.
08:47I'll call the others, eh?
08:48Oh.
08:55No!
08:57Help!
08:59Help!
09:00There.
09:00No, no!
09:04Hugh!
09:06A look!
09:10Careful, Hugh.
09:11Be careful, Hugh.
09:16Help!
09:18You! Save me! He's mad!
09:26Get back! You wait for me alone!
09:29I'll show you! Leave me alone!
09:43Butchers! Murderers! You're killing me!
09:46Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
09:49What is it, Doctor?
09:50A plain case of lead poisoning, painters, occupational disease,
09:54mania, delusions, followed by spasms and coma.
09:57And then?
09:58Oh, they usually come out of it in time.
10:00It's a good thing you nabbed him before he did any real damage.
10:03What do you mean, before he did any real damage?
10:08What's happened here?
10:09One of the painters went bar me, sir.
10:11Oh, my sacred aunt, I might have known it.
10:17If there's trouble happening anywhere, you'll be there.
10:20I'm sorry, Colonel.
10:21No, you're not sorry.
10:22You're only sorry when you miss something.
10:24Well, you're going to miss something now. Get out.
10:26But you can't throw me out, Colonel.
10:27No, really? Why not?
10:28Because this is my flat.
10:29Our flat, darling.
10:30Yes, our flat, Colonel.
10:32Did you catch the bank robber?
10:33Bank robber?
10:34Hugh, was there a...
10:35Ask the Colonel.
10:36No, we haven't got him yet, but he can't possibly get through our lines.
10:39Every house in the whole area will be searched.
10:41We'll have him before nightfall.
10:43How much did he get from the bank?
10:45Man, he said about 10,000 pounds.
10:46Colonel, maybe I can...
10:47Oh, maybe you can...
10:48You can what?
10:49You're coming with me, Hugh Drummond.
10:51You want me to miss my train?
10:53Are you going to France today, Phyllis?
10:54Yes, I'm joining Aunt Blanche.
10:56Darling, will you do me a favor?
10:57Take him with you.
10:59He'll be over for the wedding on the 10th.
11:01I hope you're coming, Colonel.
11:02Well, if your perfect descent is going to take place, I wouldn't miss it.
11:05If he fails me this time, I'm going to marry Mr. Aldegut.
11:08Serve him right if you did.
11:09Wouldn't it just?
11:10Come on, Hugh.
11:11Oh, just a moment.
11:12Hugh'll need a pass to go through the lines.
11:14I'm afraid you can get through with that one.
11:16There she goes.
11:17How long has this painter been in your employ, Mr. Barrows?
11:21I'm not quite sure.
11:23Some time, I believe.
11:25Have you ever noticed anything unusual about his conduct?
11:28No, no, I can't say I have.
11:30If there's anything I can do for him, Inspector, I'll be very glad to oblige
11:33if you'll let me know where he is.
11:35I'm sure he'll be grateful.
11:37Thank you, Mr. Barrows.
11:39You'd better have one, too, Phyllis.
11:41There you are, my dear.
11:45Oh, sad case, Captain Drummond.
11:47Very sad.
11:48I assure you, every trace of his ridiculous work will be removed.
11:51Thank you, Mr. Barrows.
11:52Good day, Captain.
11:53Good day.
11:54Oh, Hugh, wait!
11:55Don't leave me like this!
11:56Chill!
11:57Have they caught the bank robber yet, Constable?
11:58Not yet, but he can't get away!
11:59Stand back!
12:00Stand back, Prince!
12:01Stand back!
12:02Stand back!
12:03Stand back!
12:04Line up for inspection, please!
12:05Everybody must be inspected!
12:06Oh!
12:07Oh!
12:08Oh!
12:09Oh!
12:10Oh!
12:11Oh!
12:12Oh!
12:13Oh!
12:14Oh!
12:15Oh!
12:16Oh!
12:17Oh!
12:18Oh!
12:19Oh!
12:20Oh!
12:21Oh!
12:22Oh!
12:23Oh!
12:24Oh!
12:25Oh!
12:26Oh!
12:27Oh!
12:28Oh!
12:29All right.
12:30Beg pardon, sir, but I've had orders to stop all cars from leaving this area.
12:35There's been a bit of a bank robbery, sir.
12:36No.
12:37Oh!
12:38Oh, Uzi!
12:39Oh!
12:40Oh, but in your case, sir, I know it's just a bit of formality.
12:42But I've had orders to stop everybody.
12:44Absolutely everybody.
12:46I'm sorry, sir, but this pass is just for the young lady.
12:49Would you mind waiting here a few moments, Captain Drummond?
12:52Tenny?
12:53Ah, catch.
12:54There you go, sir.
12:55I presume you've got Miss Phyllis to the train on time, sir.
12:56But just, Tenny.
12:57And would you believe at the last minute she didn't want to go, she didn't think I was
12:59fit to be trusted alone in London.
13:00What's the matter, Tenny?
13:01Nothing, sir.
13:02I love the spring because spring loves me.
13:05I forgot to tell you, sir.
13:06We have a visitor.
13:07Yes, Mr. Longworth.
13:08Precisely, sir.
13:09War paint and all?
13:10No, sir.
13:11I lent him one of my suits, sir.
13:12Why, Tenny, I didn't know you had another suit.
13:13Oh, for special occasions, sir.
13:14A new grey one.
13:15I see.
13:16I see.
13:17I see.
13:18I see.
13:19I see.
13:20I see.
13:21I see.
13:22I see.
13:23I see.
13:24I see.
13:25I see.
13:26I see.
13:27I see.
13:28I see.
13:29I see.
13:30I see.
13:31I see.
13:32I see.
13:33I see.
13:34I see.
13:35I see.
13:36I see.
13:37I see.
13:38I see.
13:39I see.
13:40I see.
13:41I see.
13:42I see.
13:43I see.
13:44I see.
13:45I see.
13:46I see.
13:47I see.
13:48I see.
13:49Algie.
13:50Here, old boy.
13:51Oh, what a day.
13:52What a day.
13:53Little did I know, little did I dream, when I popped in on your new flat.
13:55Keep a stiff upper lip, old boy, because we're popping right back there.
13:57Well, anything you say, old boy.
13:58What?
13:59Yeah, it's from Phil.
14:00Please go to new flat, get portable radio set, and send air express, and make sure you
14:05aren't getting into more trouble.
14:06Yours until the 10th.
14:07Love, Phyllis.
14:08Well, I don't see why we have to go.
14:09Why can't Tenney go?
14:10I beg your pardon, sir.
14:11I should be very happy to attend to the matter.
14:12See, this chap Barrows is up to something.
14:13It sticks out like a sore thumb.
14:14And this is a good excuse to have another look at it.
14:15Well, but you know, old boy, I was on my way home, really.
14:16Now, nonsense, Algie.
14:17Don't worry about that.
14:18I see.
14:19I see.
14:20I see.
14:21I see.
14:22I see.
14:23I see.
14:24I see.
14:25I see.
14:26I see.
14:27I see.
14:28I see.
14:29I see.
14:30I see.
14:31I see.
14:32I see.
14:33I see.
14:34I see.
14:35I see.
14:36I see.
14:37I see.
14:38I see.
14:39I see.
14:40I see.
14:41I see.
14:42Well, not a trace, sir.
14:43Absolutely nothing.
14:44Oh, but hang it, old man.
14:45He couldn't get away.
14:46We've tried everything, sir.
14:47The basements, attics, even the housetops.
14:49I can't see how any criminal could get through a cordon like that with his loot under his arm.
14:54Well, he's a smart one, and that's a fact.
14:56Yeah.
14:58Home secretary's just had me on the phone.
15:00The usual thing, questions, questions.
15:03Tomorrow the press will be doing the same thing.
15:06Have we any clues?
15:07When may we expect an arrest?
15:09What do the police propose to do?
15:11I don't quite know, sir.
15:12Neither do I.
15:15I wonder what young drummer would do.
15:17I beg pardon.
15:19I see anything?
15:20I don't think so, sir.
15:22All right, honey.
15:41Did you bring some clothes?
15:42Sure, in the car.
15:43Come on.
15:44Not so fast.
15:46If you want to get anywhere in this business,
15:48you must learn not to leave anything behind.
15:50Well, you left the money.
15:52It's safely hidden, my boy.
15:53When the police go...
15:54They've gone already.
15:55All right.
15:56Good.
15:57Come on.
16:01Any news?
16:02I thought you should know, sir.
16:03That painter who went mad, he escaped from the hospital.
16:05Oh, he's probably gone straight back to his own home.
16:07We thought he'd do that, sir.
16:08But you see, he gave a false address.
16:10He what?
16:11He gave a false address in Peckham.
16:12They've never heard of him out there.
16:13Dredenis, I'm beginning to see daylight.
16:15Oh, what a fool I've been.
16:16What is it?
16:17Why, that painter.
16:18Why couldn't he be the very man we're looking for?
16:19Right out from under our very noses.
16:20But the manager, what's his name?
16:21Barrows.
16:22Yes, I think I'll go and have a talk with Mr. Barrows.
16:24And when I get through with him,
16:25I think we'll know a little more about our bank robber.
16:28Well, if it isn't the poor mad,
16:29I think I'll go and have a talk with Mr. Barrows.
16:31And when I get through with him,
16:32I think we'll know a little more about our bank robber.
16:35Well, if it isn't the poor mad painter himself.
17:00Recovered quickly, didn't you?
17:02As a matter of fact, I was expecting you.
17:05But not quite so soon.
17:07Is this where you hid it?
17:09In the radio?
17:10I don't know what you're talking about.
17:12Oh, yes you do, Mr. Bank robber.
17:15No tricks.
17:17Well, why don't you call the police?
17:19Why?
17:20Oh, we really don't need them, do we?
17:23Let me see now.
17:25Ten thousand pounds, wasn't it?
17:27Or didn't you have time to count it?
17:29I see.
17:30A split, huh?
17:31You couldn't stop me if I took all of it.
17:34But I'll be generous.
17:36Fifty-fifty, agreed.
17:38You're a smart man, Mr. Barrows.
17:40Oh, you're pretty smart yourself.
17:43You know, it takes brains to do what you did today.
17:46You better turn off that light.
17:48The police know this flat's not occupied.
17:59Did we blow a tire?
18:00There's no blowout, Elsie.
18:01That was a shot inside somewhere.
18:03Come on, we're going in.
18:04You stay here, Tenny.
18:05Very good, sir.
18:09What was that?
18:10Something's up, Elsie.
18:11Come on.
18:19Can I hear yourself?
18:20Elsie, where's the flashlight?
18:21Huh?
18:22I thought you had it, Hugh.
18:23Oh.
18:24There must be a light switch around here somewhere.
18:27There must be a light switch around here somewhere.
18:42Oh.
18:43Okay.
18:44Now, I'll be so worried about that.
18:46Did you see that?
18:47Did you see that?
18:48Was it you?
18:49Well, what's the deal?
18:50How do you see them?
18:51No.
18:52Hello, Don.
18:53I'll be so worried.
18:54Nothing here, Hugh.
19:24I have no one.
19:29I've got him.
19:31He's gone, right?
19:33Yes, Alzie.
19:35I've got him.
19:44I've got him.
19:46He's gone, hasn't he?
19:49Yes, Alzie.
19:51Yes, Algey.
19:53Captain Drummond, sir.
19:55In here, Tenny.
19:57Tenny, did you see a man escaping?
19:59Yes, sir.
20:01Why didn't you do something?
20:03Because he did it first, sir.
20:05Well, you're not the only one, Tenny.
20:07Oh.
20:09Algey, do you suppose he could have fired that shot we heard?
20:11What would he be firing at? There was nobody here.
20:13Well, let's have a look.
20:15Listen.
20:17Do you think he's coming back?
20:19All right.
20:21You see, Algey, be sure you tie his ankles this time.
20:25Tenny, the lights!
20:27Yes, sir.
20:29You got him, Algey.
20:31I got him.
20:33I got him.
20:35I got him.
20:37I got him.
20:39Oh, dear.
20:41I'm afraid we've made a mistake.
20:43Oh, dear, dear. I'm afraid we've made a mistake.
20:48It's right, Colonel. You see, we...
20:49We thought you were somebody else.
20:52Yes. A natural mistake, sir, under the circumstances.
20:55You see, Colonel, we didn't expect you. We...
20:56We didn't expect me.
20:58Well, who in blazes did you three hoodlums expect?
21:01We weren't quite sure.
21:03You see, we heard a pistol shot.
21:04I...
21:04No. No, no, no.
21:06We thought we heard a pistol shot, but it wasn't.
21:08It was a backfire.
21:10I see.
21:11Yes, it was a backfire.
21:12You see, Colonel, Phyllis wired me and asked me to come up here
21:14and get a radio set that she wanted.
21:16Yeah, and here it is, old boy.
21:18Marvelous invention, the radio.
21:20Great thing for shot-in.
21:21Yes, I'd like to see all three of you shot-in for six months at Harvey Wood.
21:24Now, Colonel.
21:25Pardon me, sir. Your hat, sir.
21:31Hugh.
21:31Yes, Colonel.
21:33What's this about a shot?
21:35Shot?
21:36Oh, nothing, nothing.
21:37Something we heard, a tire-blowing, perhaps.
21:38You know, sounds at night, you can't tell a thing.
21:40Yes, yes, yes, yes.
21:40But you rushed up here thinking you had a shot, didn't you?
21:43Well, yes.
21:44And when you got here, you found everything quiet and peaceful.
21:47Perfectly quiet.
21:48Yeah.
21:50Then what in the name of my sainted aunt, Harriet, is that?
21:53Oh.
21:55Good hands.
21:56Well, that's Bellows, the manager.
21:58Hugh.
21:58That car you heard fires bullets through the heart.
22:03Oh, good times.
22:26Here's radio for Miss Phyllis Claverine.
22:36Merci, facteur.
22:37À bientôt, Thérèse.
22:42Find your man near you.
22:43That's it, Colonel, but if he's here, I will.
22:45I know, I know.
22:47You think the bank robber, the painter, and your burgd are all one and the same man?
22:51No, sir did I last night.
22:53There's an old offender.
22:54He's quite capable of committing both robbery and murder.
22:57Name's Henry Armadies.
22:58He's a dangerous customer.
22:59I'm sorry, Inspector, I don't recognize him.
23:01Well, you couldn't have had more than a glimpse of the man in your flat last night.
23:04You probably wouldn't recognize his picture.
23:06I'm positive, Colonel.
23:06His ugly mug was within an itch of my nose.
23:08Well, since you didn't see the painter, except with his face completely covered,
23:12we can't be sure they were the same even now.
23:14Colonel, the people at the hospital said that a man with lead poisoning couldn't get up for a week,
23:17and yet the painter was able to escape.
23:20He wasn't suffering from lead poisoning.
23:21Hugh, they couldn't have been right in both cases, now could they?
23:26No, they couldn't, Colonel, but...
23:27Now, we've given your theory a fair trial, and we've nothing left to go on.
23:31Colonel, will you please go home, Hugh?
23:33Please go home, I've got work to do.
23:37Good luck, Inspector.
23:38Well, it's not in the bedroom, so it must be in here.
23:44Suppose Drummond comes home.
23:46We'll take care of him if he does.
23:49How could he hide a radio in there?
23:51The money could have been taken out of the radio, my friend,
23:53and tacked to the bottom of the drawer.
23:55Well, if Drummond found the money, wouldn't he turn it into the police?
23:59Drummond's not such a fool, he likes money as well as we do.
24:02The only thing to remember in searching a room is that the unlikely places are the likeliest.
24:11When I was serving my apprenticeship, as you are now,
24:13I was sent to find a letter, a very important letter.
24:17I failed, because I didn't realize it could have been pinned into the draperies.
24:23Maybe he carries it with him.
24:32Dahjores, france.
24:34Darling, thanks for sending radio.
24:37Don't wait until the tenth.
24:39What are you going to do?
24:40Go to Dahjumatt, of course.
24:41Darling, thanks for sending radio.
24:45Don't wait until the 10th.
24:47What are you going to do?
24:48Go to Taj Mahn, of course.
24:57Wait!
24:57Are you leaving that message for Drummond to read?
25:00No, I'll tear it up, of course.
25:03Another thing.
25:05Captain Drummond must not go to Taj Mahn today or under 10th.
25:09He might make trouble for us there.
25:10How can we stop him?
25:12Watch.
25:14On the desk, there's some fishing line.
25:16Get it.
25:32You will observe, my friend, that this is train on the door through which Drummond will enter.
25:37Yes, but...
25:39I see.
25:39When Drummond opens the door, bingo.
25:43But suppose it gets the wrong person.
25:45Another shooting in a Drummond flat would interest the police, I imagine.
25:50Captain Drummond will be so busy exploiting, he couldn't give us much trouble for several days.
25:55Crime and...
25:56What's that?
25:57Blake has the fingerprints.
25:58Good.
25:59Send him in.
25:59To Dennis, we're in luck.
26:01They've got fingerprints from the bank.
26:03Here are the fingerprints found in the London and Southminster banks, sir.
26:06Fingerprints of the bank robber?
26:07Definitely.
26:08Definitely.
26:09These prints were taken from the handle of the paintbrush in Captain Drummond's flat.
26:13They're the same.
26:14They're the same.
26:15Then Drummond was right.
26:16The bandit did hide in his flat.
26:17Good work, Blake.
26:18No, it's not all, sir.
26:19Look at these.
26:20Where do you get these things?
26:21From our files.
26:22They're the prints of Henry Armadie's.
26:23They're the same as these others.
26:24Look, line for line.
26:25That's right.
26:26That's all, Blake.
26:29Drummond was right.
26:30He's been right all the time.
26:32Don't forget that you had that idea first, sir.
26:34I know that.
26:35Only I hadn't sense enough to stick to it.
26:37Get me a picture of Armadie's from our files.
26:39I want Drummond to identify it.
26:40You only have one with the beard and Drummond actually looked at them.
26:42Well, then paint the beard out, man.
26:43He'll recognize it quickly.
26:44I'll have him here in half an hour.
26:45Good.
26:50Let's go.
26:51Okay, away.
26:57After you, Valenti.
26:58Oh, back.
27:18Likes, Tinny.
27:19Oh, do you think that was meant for a joke?
27:24Joke, Alzi?
27:25I think it'd been aimed a few inches lower to be no joke.
27:27Somebody's been here and deliberately ransacked the place, sir,
27:30with a fine tooth comb.
27:32Why, Tenny?
27:33First a new flat and now this.
27:34Who is he?
27:35What's he want?
27:36I don't know, sir.
27:37Let me see that.
27:38Tenny, have we got any cables recently?
27:40No, sir.
27:41Perhaps it blew in through the window.
27:42Oh, nonsense.
27:43Alzi, the window's closed.
27:49What's the matter, old boy?
27:51Did you lose something?
27:52Looks like it, Alzi.
27:53Thought perhaps they'd torn up the message,
27:55but they were too smart for that.
27:56Might be from Phyllis.
27:58Do you think, sir, that a cable of ours
28:00has been intercepted by the enemy?
28:02Right, Tenny.
28:03Then may I suggest, sir,
28:04that we call up the telegraph office
28:06and have the message repeated?
28:08Brilliant idea, Tenny.
28:09I'd rather like it, sir.
28:19Be careful, Alzi.
28:26Hello.
28:27I want to repeat on a message.
28:28It wasn't quite clear.
28:29Yes, the name's Drummond.
28:30Hugh C. Drummond,
28:31number nine Chesty Mansions.
28:32That's right.
28:34Yes, go ahead.
28:38All right, thank you.
28:39Well?
28:40Phyllis thanking me for the radio.
28:42Oh, it's a good thing
28:43it wasn't anything important.
28:44Important.
28:45But it was important, Alzi.
28:46Tenny!
28:47Yes, sir?
28:48I'm leaving town.
28:49Very good, sir.
28:50Well, what did you find out?
28:51Don't you understand, Alzi?
28:52Everything checks.
28:53The bank robber, the mad painter.
28:54That's where he hid the money in the radio.
28:56And I sent it to Phyllis.
28:57Oh, where are we going?
28:58We.
28:59Yes, we.
29:00All the way, old boy.
29:01To Tajmo.
29:02I've got to get there before the enemy.
29:03We've just got time to catch the boat train, sir.
29:05No, it's too slow, Tenny.
29:06You wouldn't get there tomorrow night.
29:07I'm going by air.
29:08The three of us, sir?
29:09Why three?
29:10All for one and one for all, sir, as the saying goes.
29:12Very apt, Tenny.
29:13I rather like it, sir.
29:18I see trouble approaching, sir.
29:22Hello, Inspector.
29:23Afraid I can't stop to entertain you just now.
29:25That's all right, Captain Drummond.
29:26I'm going to entertain you.
29:27Not arrested again?
29:28No, not exactly.
29:29We want you to look at some photographs.
29:30Oh, delighted, old chap.
29:31Tomorrow or the day after, not today.
29:32You're coming to the yard, Captain Drummond.
29:33Colonel Nielsen's orders.
29:34Well, I was going to take a plane.
29:35Ixte Ithwae Ime.
29:36I trae ohye.
29:37Do you mind taking my car?
29:38It's quicker than the underground.
29:39Not at all if you don't drive too fast.
29:40What did he say, sir?
29:41That is Pig Latin, Tenny.
29:42He said, stick with me, old boy.
29:43I see.
29:44Oh, I see.
29:45Oh, I see.
29:46Oh, I see.
29:47Oh, I see.
29:48Oh, I see.
29:49Oh, I see.
29:50Oh, I see.
29:51Oh, I see.
29:52Oh, I see.
29:53Oh, I see.
29:54Oh, I see.
29:55Oh, I see.
29:56Oh, I see.
29:57Oh, I see.
29:58Oh, I see.
30:12What the matter?
30:13Is the tank empty?
30:14Oh, that's plenty.
30:15Well, Tenny, did you get that new battery?
30:16Yes, sir.
30:17Was it a loony?
30:19No, sir.
30:20No, no.
30:21Get out and give us a push, will you?
30:22Yes, sir.
30:23Well, come along.
30:24Aren't you going to give us a hand?
30:26Would you mind, Inspector?
30:27Inspector, do you know one more shoulder to the wheel?
30:29Oh, very well.
30:41As they say in America, I think he put one over on you, old boy.
30:46Jeremy, Everclear, Earthen.
30:54Disguised, Inspector? Certainly not, and never mind how I look.
30:57Take a cable.
30:58Chief of Police, Targemont, France.
31:01I'll give that Captain Drummond a joke from this office and see how he likes it.
31:04You ready? Yes, sir.
31:06Please hold young Englishman arriving tonight.
31:08About five feet, eleven inches tall,
31:11170 pounds weight, small moustache.
31:14We believe him to be George Boyd, alias Henry Jones,
31:16a notorious international spy.
31:18This man will undoubtedly claim to be Hugh Drummond.
31:22If you apprehend him, notify Scotland Yard immediately
31:25and hold the criminal until further instructions from us.
31:28Regards.
31:29Give that the department signature.
31:31That ought to hold Captain Drummond for a while.
31:44He'll pop that back.
31:46I'll say he'll be very soon.
31:47You can check it out.

49:39The husband is obliged to supply all the necessary means of living according to his possibility.

50:54Oh, please, raise it, that man.
