00:00Don't forget you've still got Phoebe.
00:03Well, we don't want you shot.
00:04You're no good to us in jail, and we can't afford to offend Morton.
00:08There it is, son.
00:10Get us out of it.
00:11Just like nothing happened.
00:14Well, Miss Lane.
00:15Miss Lane went home to roll her hoop.
00:20Phoebe.
00:22I wonder if Miss Lane would recognize the man that gave her the tip that started all this.
00:26Miss Lane would know him anywhere.
00:28She never forgets a face.
00:32Well, what did he look like?
00:36Oh, he was thin.
00:39Well, not too thin.
00:41No.
00:41And, uh...
00:43Blonde?
00:45He was between a blonde and a brunette.
00:47Rather medium size for a man.
00:49And he was thin and...
00:51Oh, but I said that, didn't I?
00:53Yes, yes, you did.
00:54My, my, what a memory.
00:56Anyway, he wasn't bad looking.
00:57Well, go on.
00:58Anything else?
00:59Anyhow, I know how he spoke.
01:01How?
01:02With a foreign accent.
01:03A foreign accent?
01:04Mm-hmm.
01:05Listen, that's important.
01:07Uh, was it, uh, Moscow, Russian?
01:10I will give you a tip about a theater.
01:12Oh, no.
01:12No, it wasn't that, I see.
01:14Uh, Italian, perhaps.
01:15More liquid.
01:16Uh, senora, do we know about a theater?
01:19No, no, no.
01:20No, it wasn't that French.
01:21Of course, it wouldn't be French.
01:22There is a theater that will be robbed tonight.
01:24Oh, no, no, that's not right.
01:26A German, perhaps.
01:28I can give you a tip about a theater around the corner.
01:31That's nearer.
01:32That's nearer.
01:32Perhaps a little finer, huh?
01:33Viennese.
01:35Uh, I can give you a tip about a theater around the corner.
01:39You've got it.
01:40That's exactly the way he spoke.
01:42Fine.
01:43And I'm sure I'd recognize him now if I saw him.
01:45Good.
01:46Thank you, Miss Lane.
01:47Now you can go home.
01:56Oh, wait a minute.
01:57Let me finish before you go away mad.
02:00Uh, go home, put on your nicest dinner dress,
02:03and I shall call for you between 9.30 and 10 o'clock.
02:06You mean I'm going to be whined and dined for remembering his accent?
02:09No, sweetheart.
02:10The idea is to find the man.
02:14I don't get it.
02:16When you want to find an American, you go where he works.
02:19When you want to find a foreigner, you go where he dines.
02:23My, but you're clever.
02:26Let me see now.
02:27Should I wear black or blue or...
02:29You'll wear black and blue if you don't hurry.
02:32Scram, sister.
02:39All right.
02:55The End
03:25Oh, no. No, if I eat any more of that bookshot, I'll pass out.
03:42Don't you dare pass out until we find that man.
03:48Bookshot?
03:52Oh, one-thirty. I've looked at so many men that they all look so tired.
03:56I thought you wanted to be a reporter.
03:57Now, listen, you stick around until we find the man.
03:59Then you can go home.
04:01Go home the very minute the fun begins?
04:02Me? I'm not going to do all the hunting and then miss the shooting.
04:05Oh, now be reasonable, will you, Phoebe?
04:06You're the boss's niece. I can't let anything happen to you.
04:09Why did I have to be born a relative?
04:11Why couldn't I have been born an orphan or something?
04:13Go ahead.
04:25What?
04:27There he is.
04:30I thought you said he was good-looking.
04:32Are you sure that's the man?
04:41I'm positive.
04:47I'm sorry, sweetheart. You'll have to scram.
04:49Oh, hello, hello.
05:00Oh, I am sorry. I have made a mistake.
05:05You are not my old friend, Captain Litzman, as I thought.
05:08My mistake was a natural one.
05:12You know, I have not seen Litzman since we flew together in the war.
05:17I see you are an ace also.
05:20May I know the name?
05:21Mine is Stolski.
05:23Baron Stolski.
05:25I'm called Floto.
05:27And this is my friend Storkov.
05:30How do you do?
05:31I was told when I arrived in America recently
05:34that I could meet and make friends
05:36with many people of my own class.
05:39I am glad that is so.
05:43Vader, gentlemen,
05:45properly drink.
05:52Lassau, 26.
05:54And make sure it is 26, please.
05:56Hello, darling.
06:01Well, aren't you going to introduce me, precious?
06:03After all, I am your wife, you know.
06:05Oh, do you?
06:06Oh, yes.
06:07Forgive me.
06:08Baron Stolski.
06:10May I present Mr. Floto,
06:12Mr. Storkov, my new friend.
06:14How do you do?
06:14How do you do?
06:16Thank you very much.
06:20For a recent arrival in America,
06:22as they say over here,
06:24you must be a fast worker
06:25to have married so charming a girl
06:27so soon.
06:29Well, it was a whirlwind courtship.
06:32We met on Wednesday,
06:33I proposed on Thursday,
06:35and we were married on
06:37the Statue of Liberty.
06:41You met her through her newspaper work?
06:48Newspaper work?
06:49Yes.
06:50You're a reporter for the Daily Classic,
06:52are you not?
06:53Why, why, no, there must be some mistake.
06:59Why, I'm just not clever enough
07:02to be a reporter.
07:03Am I, darling?
07:04No, darling.
07:07Pardon my mistake.
07:09America is a land of women
07:10so beautiful,
07:12they all look alike.
07:13Sorry, monsieur,
07:15cannot save you.
07:16The bar is closed.
07:17It's at the closing hours.
07:19Oh, that's too bad.
07:21I'd counted on talking
07:22over all times with you.
07:24But my apartment is never closed.
07:27Come.
07:28We'll go and have a drink
07:29and chat before we break up.
07:32I'm afraid we cannot join you.
07:34You know, the Baroness
07:35never keeps late hours.
07:37Oh, but one evening
07:38won't matter, darling.
07:39We'd be delighted to go.
07:40Oh, come on, dear.
07:50Taxi, taxi.
07:51Midtown Apartments.
07:52Oh, no.
07:53You see, it is a raining night.
07:55I'm sorry,
07:55and it's so late.
07:56I must take my wife home,
07:57I'm sure.
07:58But the Midtown Apartments
07:59are not far from here.
08:00Yes, darling,
08:01and I'd love to have another drink.
08:03Oh, dumbass.
08:04You see,
08:05my wife gets these attacks,
08:07you know,
08:07when it's late and raining.
08:08I must take her home,
08:09but we will see you tomorrow
08:10for luncheon.
08:11At the Hogbrow,
08:13at one.
08:14Luncheon,
08:14one o'clock punctually.
08:16Good.
08:17Yes.
08:17At 12 Dutton Street.
08:19Okay, Spencer.
08:21Good night, gentlemen.
08:22Good night.
08:22Good night.
08:26Mmm.
08:28You ought to let this coffee
08:29write your column.
08:30It's strong enough.
08:31Good strong coffee
08:33for a strong,
08:35silent man.
08:36How's this?
08:38The Shadow says
08:39that his statements
08:39over the air yesterday
08:40regarding the character
08:41of Mr. Gerald Morton
08:42were unjustified,
08:43and those statements
08:44are hereby withdrawn
08:45with due apologies
08:46to Mr. Morton's family.
08:49Yeah, but you have to apologize
08:50to Commissioner Weston.
08:51Let's not go overboard
08:52in our enthusiasm
08:53for whitewashing ourselves.
08:55But you've got to square
08:56the paper with Weston.
08:58Tell how it happened.
09:00Describe the scene.
09:01You at the mic
09:02and Honest John
09:03with the gun?
09:05I was afraid
09:05you'd be expecting that,
09:07so I wrote it last night.
09:09But I don't like it.
09:11My apologies
09:12to Commissioner Weston.
09:14Perhaps he's right
09:15in his belief
09:15that Honest John
09:16is the...
09:16My statement on the air
09:17that the man was innocent
09:18was made while John himself
09:19was holding a gun
09:20at my head.
09:21And I hope
09:22that the commissioner
09:22with his usual
09:23fair-mindedness
09:25will restore
09:26the classic favor.
09:28Great.
09:29Now, Morton,
09:30count to us.
09:31And the commissioner
09:32will have to restore
09:33our news.
09:34Oh.
09:35I spend years
09:36building up a reputation
09:37as a crime expert
09:38then have to expose myself
09:39as a stuffed shirt
09:40that gets kicked around
09:41by the police department.
09:42Well, look here, son.
09:44If you were so keen
09:45about that reputation
09:45of yours,
09:47why don't you
09:48solve this case?
09:49Well, did you check?
10:11Who is he?
10:12the shadow,
10:15the criminologist.
10:17He is not to be taken lightly.
10:20Neither were the best detectives
10:22of Paris, London,
10:23New York.
10:24Yet, here we are.
10:25What an amateur.
10:31Well, Mr. Cranston,
10:32how are you feeling
10:33this morning?
10:34Now, listen, Moe,
10:34for the last time,
10:36if you ever call me
10:36by name again
10:37or recognize me
10:38or even speak to me
10:39before you're spoken to...
10:40I'm fired.
10:41That's right.
10:41Okay, stranger.
11:03I wonder where our friend
11:04Mr. Cranston is.
11:07There's something wrong,
11:08stalker.
11:10There's something wrong
11:11with your nerves,
11:11my friend.
11:13We are not going to leave here
11:15with our work half finished.
11:17Yes, yes.
11:18I know how much
11:19that's at stake.
11:20That's why I'm so uneasy.
