00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00What's the idea of the spring on your finger?
00:01:02I gotta remember to pick up some French pastry for the wife.
00:01:04I like it too.
00:01:05You got a great face for it.
00:01:13Hey, it's about time you guys got here.
00:01:15Gee, I've been waiting an hour.
00:01:18Oh, quit squawking and give us a hand.
00:01:27Hey, come on with that chariot.
00:01:28This guy is no lightweight.
00:01:30Sign this.
00:01:40Sure.
00:01:52McNaughton.
00:01:54Lawyer, ain't he?
00:01:55Was.
00:01:56Might have been governor if he hadn't taken a nap at the wrong moment.
00:02:00While he was driving?
00:02:01Yeah.
00:02:03You gonna fix him up?
00:02:05Yeah.
00:02:06For a solo job, ain't it?
00:02:07How did you know?
00:02:11Either that or you've got a funny way of writing.
00:02:15Okay.
00:02:16Come on, Pete.
00:02:18So long.
00:02:18Come on.
00:02:21So long.
00:02:27So long.
00:02:28Long distance.
00:02:47Mr. Chandler, they just brought him in.
00:03:00All right, Tommy.
00:03:00Tommy, you take care of him.
00:03:04No.
00:03:04No, it doesn't matter.
00:03:06With his face as bad as that, they won't even bother to open the coffin.
00:03:09All right.
00:03:11All right, I'll see to shipping him early in the morning myself.
00:03:16And Tommy, let no one in the shop nor near the body.
00:03:21Right.
00:03:22Goodbye.
00:03:22All right.
00:03:23Well?
00:03:25They fell for it.
00:03:26Delivered him to your shop, huh?
00:03:28Yes, sir.
00:03:29Are you sure the newspapers are convinced?
00:03:31They've already described it as a most regrettable accident.
00:03:34And you better see this thing through?
00:03:36Tomorrow morning, Clark St. McNaughton will be taken to Jersey and buried with all befitting honors.
00:03:42It's a long time before tomorrow morning.
00:03:44You should have received the body yourself and prepared it.
00:03:46And answered the questions of the police while you two stayed here ready to get out of the state?
00:03:50I'm no fool.
00:03:51Well, it's a dirty business and I don't like it.
00:03:53I should have told the truth about it in the first place.
00:03:55And suffered an investigation?
00:03:57Well, we could have gotten out of it some way.
00:03:59Yeah, how?
00:04:00Oh, Chandler's right.
00:04:01You're nervous.
00:04:02Well, maybe I am nervous.
00:04:03But I'll gamble neither tomorrow morning nor a year from tomorrow morning
00:04:06when we hear the last of McNaughton's death.
00:04:08Well, that remains to be seen.
00:04:10Exactly.
00:04:17To the memory of a distinguished leader.
00:04:20And a good friend.
00:04:21Oh, of course.
00:04:33They just brought him in.
00:04:36Well?
00:04:37Gee, doc.
00:04:39I'm scared.
00:04:40What's the matter?
00:04:41Close your nerve?
00:04:42I got a feeling something's going to happen.
00:04:46Why?
00:04:47I don't know.
00:04:49It's a funny feeling, though.
00:04:52Doc, would you mind watching the place for a minute while I get a drink, a cup of coffee?
00:04:58Well, be careful not to drink too many cups.
00:05:01You might do a bad job.
00:05:03Thanks, doc.
00:05:04Oh, come on.
00:05:29My room.
00:05:56He's followed me.
00:05:57I'm sure he has.
00:05:59Followed you here?
00:06:00Yes.
00:06:01I caught sight of him while I was checking my bag at the station.
00:06:04How did you come here?
00:06:05Well, I took a care part of the way and then walked.
00:06:08Oh, he was awful tonight.
00:06:11He said he'd kill you.
00:06:13Worried that you'd marry me?
00:06:14I'll settle with him.
00:06:15Oh, you don't know him.
00:06:17He's terrible when he's angry.
00:06:19He's hate you so.
00:06:20Hmm, because of my experiments.
00:06:23Well, Dad doesn't understand.
00:06:26There he is.
00:06:35Come with me now, please.
00:06:37No, honey.
00:06:38You go back to the station and wait for me.
00:06:40I'll be with you as soon as I get rid of him.
00:06:41Oh, but I'm frightened.
00:06:43Let me settle with him this time once and for all.
00:06:45Oh, Ray, you quarreled about this so often.
00:06:48Please don't.
00:06:49Now, don't worry.
00:06:54And go quickly.
00:06:55Here.
00:06:55Hello, Mr. Daniels.
00:07:25There is my dog.
00:07:28I'm sure I don't know.
00:07:29Don't lie to me, Adler.
00:07:30I saw her come here.
00:07:32Do you think it's necessary to spy on him?
00:07:34I think it's necessary to do a whole lot of things where you are concerned.
00:07:38Let me tell you this.
00:07:39You are not going to marry Ruth.
00:07:42You won't be able to stop it.
00:07:43I'll stop you if I have to use force.
00:07:45I would require you to find it.
00:07:47There is my dog.
00:07:48Don't go in there.
00:07:49Let go of him.
00:07:50I can't do let go of him.
00:07:51It's not until you agree to go.
00:07:53Take your hands off of me or I'll...
00:07:55I'll have to do the mountain.
00:08:08Sam, that's the thing.
00:08:25I'm sorry, Tommy.
00:08:52I wonder what happened to him.
00:09:21He's dead.
00:09:29Murdered.
00:09:30Look at the bud.
00:09:31What do we do with him?
00:09:34This is an undertaker.
00:09:37Sure.
00:09:38Let's take him in.
00:09:39Hey, I got a dead man.
00:09:49He's been murdered.
00:09:53Hey, wait a minute.
00:10:02Hey, where'd the body come from?
00:10:04We found him out in the alley.
00:10:05We found him out in the alley.
00:10:05You what?
00:10:06Get in the doornail.
00:10:07Hey, you should have called a cop.
00:10:08You oughtn't have brought him here.
00:10:10Well, ain't this an undertaking, Paula?
00:10:11Can't you call a cop?
00:10:13Sure, but it ain't the right thing to do.
00:10:15We don't want to get mixed up into it, calling to court and all.
00:10:17No, like jury duty.
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:20Hey, you don't expect us to carry it back, do you?
00:10:22Well, you'll have to wait till the wagon comes.
00:10:24I ain't got no right to let you go.
00:10:26Wake my eyes.
00:10:26Why should we wait?
00:10:28How do I know you ain't bumped them off yourselves?
00:10:31Hey, listen, punk, lay off that phone.
00:10:34Hey, wait a minute.
00:10:37Well, what'll I do with them?
00:10:39What do you usually do with them?
00:10:49I always thought an undertaking, Paula, was sort of a police station.
00:10:52Me too.
00:10:53Dead people and all.
00:10:56I don't want to testify.
00:11:23Me neither.
00:11:24Fresh kid trying to keep us there.
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28Think we ought to tell a cop?
00:11:30I don't know.
00:11:30I guess he'll call him.
00:11:31We don't have to say that we found him, just that the undertaker wants to see him.
00:11:36What about that guy?
00:11:41Yeah, you tell him.
00:11:42Why don't you tell him?
00:11:45Oh, I ain't scared.
00:11:46Hey, officer, the undertaker sent me to get you.
00:11:58Somebody's been killed and they got him over there.
00:12:00How did he get killed?
00:12:01I don't know.
00:12:02They just told me to get a policeman.
00:12:03Hey, Chandler, open up here.
00:12:21What's the trouble here?
00:12:30The two fellas just brought a dead man in and left him here.
00:12:33Well, what other?
00:12:34I told them they should have got you and left him where they found him.
00:12:38Where'd they find him?
00:12:39In the alley.
00:12:40Who is he?
00:12:41I don't know.
00:12:42Who brought him in?
00:12:43Two fellas.
00:12:45Two fellas?
00:12:46Well, I only saw one.
00:12:47Have you got him back there?
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:49Well, keep him.
00:12:50I'm going to see if those two guys are still around.
00:13:20Forty-seventh precinct.
00:13:22Sergeant Collins speaking.
00:13:25They moved it, eh?
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:26They brought the body to Chandler's and then beat it.
00:13:29All right.
00:13:30We'll send a wagon for it.
00:13:32You find them two guys and bring them in.
00:13:34Yes, sir.
00:13:43Ah!
00:13:44Ah!
00:13:45Ah!
00:13:45Ah!
00:13:46Ah!
00:13:47Ah!
00:13:47Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:49Ah!
00:13:49Ah!
00:13:50Ah!
00:14:18Ah!
00:14:19Hey, Chandler!
00:14:19Chandler!
00:14:20You got callers!
00:14:23Where is everybody?
00:14:29Is everybody dead around here?
00:14:34Hey, Chandler!
00:14:39This place gives me the creeps.
00:14:40Yeah, me too.
00:14:41I guess this is it.
00:14:54I guess this is it.
00:14:56But we can't stay here all night.
00:14:58Let's take them in.
00:14:59Somebody ought to turn up pretty soon.
00:15:01Sure.
00:15:02Sure.
00:15:02I think it's a little bit.
00:15:04How much?
00:15:09I feel like...
00:15:12Oh, yes.
00:15:17Woo!
00:15:21I feel like...
00:15:22Okay.
00:15:25Daniels was never murdered.
00:15:33He looks like he'd been in a wreck.
00:15:34But there wasn't any money in his pockets.
00:15:37And the buttonhole in his vest looked like his watch chain had been torn out.
00:15:40Well, that's easy.
00:15:41He got hit by a car.
00:15:42The driver got scared and drove off.
00:15:44The force of the collision threw the body in here,
00:15:46and some thief came along and went through his clothes.
00:15:49That might be.
00:15:50Maybe it was the same guys that carried him into Chandler's.
00:15:52But if he was killed by a car, how did he get here?
00:15:55And how did the blood get up the alley?
00:15:56Tell me that.
00:15:57Well, I don't know, Sarge.
00:15:59I ain't a detective.
00:16:00And where's his daughter?
00:16:01She's missing.
00:16:02Uh-huh.
00:16:02Maybe she ran off with the Undertaker kid.
00:16:04Even I thought of that.
00:16:06But where's the kid?
00:16:07I don't know.
00:16:08Right.
00:16:11Hello?
00:16:12Sutherland?
00:16:13Chandler.
00:16:14Yes, I just came from the funeral.
00:16:17Yes.
00:16:17Yes, all right.
00:16:18All right, but listen.
00:16:20I brought the real McNaughton body here this morning to dispose of,
00:16:23just as we decided.
00:16:24But when I got in the shop, the body of Lee was gone.
00:16:28How do I know?
00:16:29Well, what was I to do?
00:16:30I had to deliver something.
00:16:32So we buried McNaughton in his own coffin.
00:16:36No.
00:16:37No, they didn't open it.
00:16:38They never do when the face is mutilated as badly as Lee's was.
00:16:42Nothing.
00:16:43All we have to do is to lay low until we find out what became of the Lee body.
00:16:47Come on.
00:16:49Where are you going now?
00:16:49In the Chandler's.
00:16:51Shall I go with you?
00:16:52No.
00:16:58Someone's coming in.
00:16:59I'll see you later.
00:17:01Come in.
00:17:04Mr. Chandler?
00:17:05I am Sergeant Brubaker from Detective Headquarters.
00:17:11Detective Roberts.
00:17:12Yes?
00:17:14Is the man here who received that body last night?
00:17:17What body?
00:17:19The one that was found in the alley.
00:17:21Why, I don't know anything about it.
00:17:23You're a Chandler, aren't you?
00:17:25Yes.
00:17:25What was you last night?
00:17:27I was at a conference.
00:17:30I came here early this morning for the McNaughton funeral.
00:17:35McNaughton?
00:17:36Yes, McNaughton.
00:17:37There was no funeral here this morning.
00:17:39The funeral was held at the McNaughton residence in Jersey.
00:17:43So it was.
00:17:44The body was taken there this morning.
00:17:47Do you mind if we look around, Mr. Chandler?
00:17:51Not at all.
00:18:17I'd like to know.
00:18:18What do you mean?
00:18:19I mean that my employee is missing.
00:18:21I haven't even been able to reach him by telephone.
00:18:24Who else was here last night?
00:18:26Dr. Everett.
00:18:27He has an office here.
00:18:29What's a doctor doing with an office in an undertaking parlor?
00:18:32That's none of your business.
00:18:35You know it's illegal to experiment and...
00:18:38Bicep.
00:18:38Bicep on the body brought in here, don't you?
00:18:41Yes.
00:18:41Where is he?
00:18:44Who?
00:18:45This Dr. Everett.
00:18:45I don't know.
00:18:48Is he missing too?
00:18:49Yes.
00:18:51Have you read the morning papers yet?
00:18:53No, I haven't had time.
00:18:55Well, the guy killed last night and they brought him in here.
00:18:59Killed?
00:19:00A man from Trenton.
00:19:02The name of Frank Daniels.
00:19:05Oh, no.
00:19:06I don't know anything about that.
00:19:09What time is this Tommy kid due for work?
00:19:12At five o'clock.
00:19:14I'll be back.
00:19:14I want to ask him some questions.
00:19:19So do I.
00:19:32Be brief, gentlemen.
00:19:34Be brief.
00:19:36Your nephew was murdered last night.
00:19:38Did you know that?
00:19:39Yeah.
00:19:41Well, what do you know about him?
00:19:42I don't know anything about him or his affairs.
00:19:45I haven't spoken to him for more than two years.
00:19:50A family quarrel?
00:19:53Yeah.
00:19:53Well, tell us about it.
00:19:55It's none of your business.
00:19:56Now, don't take that stand, Mr. Daniels.
00:19:59We are simply trying to find out who murdered Frank Daniels.
00:20:03Well, from the newspaper notices, it looks like it might have been thieves.
00:20:10Well, now, why not let it go at that?
00:20:13You know where his daughter is?
00:20:14I do not.
00:20:15Well, she's left home.
00:20:16Well, that's her business.
00:20:18Don't you think it's funny that she should disappear the day that her father is murdered?
00:20:21I don't see anything funny in a murder.
00:20:25Well, ain't it peculiar?
00:20:28I'll say so.
00:20:29You see, we can't find her.
00:20:31Well, I can't help you.
00:20:33She's not here.
00:20:35We're not very good friends.
00:20:39What do you want done to the body?
00:20:40I don't care what you do with the body.
00:20:43Now, see here, Mr. Daniels.
00:20:44You're the only relative Frank Daniels has.
00:20:47Unless we can find the daughter.
00:20:48Well, you send the body here and I'll, I'll bury it.
00:20:58Now, that's more like it.
00:20:59Was you in New York yesterday?
00:21:02I was not.
00:21:04Were you here?
00:21:06No.
00:21:08My, but you're talkative.
00:21:10You know there are ways to make you talk.
00:21:12Now, I've answered your fool questions to the best of my ability.
00:21:16I've even given you permission to send that body here for burial.
00:21:19Now, I can't do any more than that.
00:21:21Good day.
00:21:22Good day.
00:21:27You can't prove where you was all day yesterday.
00:21:30Now, you get out of this house immediately.
00:21:32There's only one way we'll ever solve this murder.
00:21:47We've got to get that Miss Daniels and that Undertaker kid Tommy.
00:21:50Yeah, and that Dr. Everett.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:52But where?
00:21:53Where?
00:21:55I'll find them.
00:21:56I'll find them.
00:22:02You were right in not talking.
00:22:17I couldn't talk.
00:22:19After all, I don't know entirely what happened myself.
00:22:22I told you to be at the shop and then...
00:22:23How was I to foresee this Daniels mess?
00:22:26It happened and there's nothing we can do about it.
00:22:28Couldn't we get the body out of the tomb?
00:22:29Well, there's no use getting Panagy.
00:22:32Plenty of trade.
00:22:33Right.
00:22:59What's the matter?
00:23:28What's the matter?
00:23:58My father murdered.
00:24:05Please, dear.
00:24:06Oh, don't.
00:24:09Why, Ruth.
00:24:12You believe that I killed him?
00:24:15Oh, I don't know what to believe.
00:24:19Oh, Ruth, dear, you've got to have faith in me.
00:24:22Well, you quarreled.
00:24:24But you can't believe that I did it.
00:24:28I don't know what happened, but you must trust me.
00:24:36Ruth, if you believe that I did it, I'll give myself up now.
00:24:46Oh, Ruth.
00:24:51Now, we've got to learn what happened.
00:24:55They mustn't find us until we do.
00:24:58Thanks.
00:25:11See you later, Mike.
00:25:11All right, thank you.
00:25:17Going up.
00:25:18Calling Mr. Matthews, seven-hunting.
00:25:20Calling up.
00:25:24Calling Mr. Matthews, seven-hunting.
00:25:26Come on.
00:25:27Come on.
00:25:34Come on.
00:25:35Come on, open up.
00:25:57Come on.
00:26:05Of all the dumb guys I've ever seen, what'd you expect them to do, wait in the room to come
00:26:24along and pick them up?
00:26:25Well, how was I to know?
00:26:27I didn't have a picture of them.
00:26:29You should have thought of that before you went to Chicago.
00:26:32Now we've lost track of them again.
00:26:39The bag just wanted in.
00:26:40He dreamed about a murder in 52nd Street.
00:26:43Might be a lead in the Daniels case, want to see him?
00:26:46I've heard about these leads before.
00:26:49All right, bring them in.
00:26:51Roberts will mastermind the situation.
00:26:54He's full of hops.
00:26:55Roberts, yeah.
00:26:56Oh, not him.
00:26:57The bag.
00:26:58Oh, that makes two of them.
00:27:00Hello.
00:27:01Hello.
00:27:02What's it all about?
00:27:03I seem to know where a man's been murdered.
00:27:04Well, that's pretty.
00:27:05Who are you?
00:27:06I...
00:27:07I don't exactly know.
00:27:09What do you mean you don't exactly know?
00:27:10What's your name?
00:27:11I don't know.
00:27:12You see, my memory's gone.
00:27:14I used to know who I was, but I guess I don't know anymore.
00:27:17Listen, are you kidding me?
00:27:19Now, there's no use yelling at me.
00:27:20I only thought maybe you'd like to know how I felt.
00:27:22I don't know.
00:27:23I don't know.
00:27:24What do you mean you don't exactly know?
00:27:25What's your name?
00:27:26I don't know.
00:27:27You see, my memory's gone.
00:27:28I used to know who I was, but I guess I don't know anymore.
00:27:32Listen, are you kidding me?
00:27:34Now, there's no use yelling at me.
00:27:35I only thought maybe you'd like to know how I felt.
00:27:37It's a very funny feeling.
00:27:40It just seems like somebody's been killed there.
00:27:43Where?
00:27:44In the alley on 52nd Street.
00:27:47But I guess there's nothing to do.
00:27:49I guess I don't know anymore.
00:27:50I guess I don't know anymore.
00:27:51Listen, are you kidding me?
00:27:54Now, there's no use yelling at me.
00:27:56I only thought maybe you'd like to know how I felt.
00:27:59It's a very funny feeling.
00:28:01It just seems like somebody's been killed there.
00:28:03I guess there's nothing to it.
00:28:05I guess it's just a crazy idea.
00:28:07I won't bother you anymore.
00:28:09Now, wait a minute.
00:28:10You...
00:28:11Never mind.
00:28:12Never mind.
00:28:13I guess it's just a notion.
00:28:15What about's on 52nd Street?
00:28:18Well, uh...
00:28:21I don't know exactly.
00:28:23It's a place...
00:28:26in the middle of the block.
00:28:29Driscoon.
00:28:3130 cents.
00:28:36K.
00:28:45What's this?
00:28:46A whistle!
00:28:47What's it for?
00:28:48I blew it!
00:28:49What do you know about this murder?
00:28:59Are you a detective?
00:29:01Gilded.
00:29:02Is he?
00:29:03He just told you he was, didn't he?
00:29:06I didn't hear him.
00:29:07Where do you live?
00:29:10Well, I've been living uptown lately.
00:29:12On 84th Street.
00:29:14Nice room.
00:29:17Nice lady.
00:29:19This bird sure is unhooked.
00:29:25Quiet.
00:29:29Who is this nice lady?
00:29:33Sybil.
00:29:35Who's Sybil?
00:29:37She's a nice lady.
00:29:41Sybil got me these clothes.
00:29:46No.
00:29:48And these are not your clothes.
00:29:50No.
00:29:51I guess I lost mine.
00:29:53Get it?
00:29:55Claims he lost his memory.
00:29:57I don't know who he is.
00:30:00Dreamed that he saw a guy killed.
00:30:02And now he's lost his clothes.
00:30:04There sure is something funny about this bird.
00:30:07Oh, take him out and book him for a bag.
00:30:12Have we got to get a name for him?
00:30:13Give him one.
00:30:14Yeah.
00:30:16You're Richard Rowe.
00:30:17Am I?
00:30:17Hmm.
00:30:18Richard Rowe.
00:30:20Gee, ain't that swell.
00:30:22A name I can remember.
00:30:24Say, thanks.
00:30:25All right.
00:30:30Say, uh...
00:30:35Where does Sybil live?
00:30:41340 West 84th Street.
00:30:45That's where I live.
00:30:47Take him out and amuse him.
00:31:03I want my whistle.
00:31:07Give him his whistle.
00:31:12Thanks.
00:31:13Bring in that Sybil dame.
00:31:23Okay.
00:31:43You Sybil?
00:31:45Uh, yes, sir.
00:31:46Well, you ought to come along with me.
00:31:48Oh, my.
00:31:50Uh, do you mind waiting till I finish my cleaning?
00:31:52Try to kid me, sister.
00:31:53Come along.
00:31:54What did I do?
00:31:55Well, we picked a friend of yours and...
00:31:56What's he done now?
00:31:58Murder.
00:31:59Oh.
00:32:01Come on, sister.
00:32:02Come on.
00:32:02Get your hat and come with me.
00:32:04Yes, sir.
00:32:06Oh.
00:32:06Oh.
00:32:06Oh.
00:32:13You killed Frank Daniels.
00:32:20Did I?
00:32:21You were hired by Dr. Everett and Miss Daniels.
00:32:24Was I?
00:32:25You killed him with a sharp, jagged instrument.
00:32:28A dull hatchet.
00:32:29Or a box opener.
00:32:31What did you do with that instrument?
00:32:33What instrument?
00:32:34The hatchet that you killed Frank Daniels with.
00:32:40Oh.
00:32:42Is Frank dead?
00:32:45Did you know Frank Daniels?
00:32:50The name's familiar.
00:32:53Why did you ask if he was dead?
00:32:55And why did you call him Frank?
00:32:57Isn't that his name?
00:32:59Whose name?
00:33:01Frank's name.
00:33:02Yes.
00:33:02But what's his last name?
00:33:04Quick.
00:33:05Whose?
00:33:09Say, who's questioning who around here?
00:33:15I don't know.
00:33:18Where were you at 8.30 on the evening of October the 3rd?
00:33:22At 8.30?
00:33:23Yes.
00:33:28I don't remember.
00:33:32Then how can you, man or not?
00:33:35I can't.
00:33:36I can't.
00:33:37I don't remember.
00:33:40You killed Frank Daniels with an axe.
00:33:42Did I?
00:33:43Didn't you?
00:33:48Couldn't anybody else have done it?
00:33:50Gee, I wish you'd let me see Sibyl.
00:33:59You'll see Sibyl, all right.
00:34:02I want to tell my new name.
00:34:04Here she is, sir.
00:34:05Oh.
00:34:05Hello, Sibyl.
00:34:07Listen, Sibyl, I...
00:34:08Oh, who did you kill?
00:34:10Well, now, I don't remember.
00:34:13But this man knows.
00:34:15Oh, what did he do?
00:34:16Never mind.
00:34:16Come here, Richard.
00:34:18Now, you visit with this man.
00:34:19You like him.
00:34:21You sit down.
00:34:23Not there.
00:34:23Here.
00:34:24Yes, sir.
00:34:26Now, don't you try to hide anything.
00:34:28No, sir.
00:34:31Where did you find this bird?
00:34:33In the street, sir.
00:34:35What street?
00:34:3652nd Street, sir.
00:34:38Did you know that he had just killed a man?
00:34:41Oh, no.
00:34:42He couldn't have done that.
00:34:44Why couldn't he?
00:34:46Why, he's...
00:34:48He's so gentle.
00:34:53Did you give him those clothes?
00:34:55Yes, sir.
00:34:57What did he have on when you found him?
00:34:59A raincoat, sir.
00:35:00Was it raining?
00:35:02No, sir.
00:35:03It was quite fair.
00:35:05Oh, the moon was shining so beautiful.
00:35:10Never mind the moon.
00:35:13What did he have on underneath that raincoat?
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:19Nothing, sir.
00:35:20How did you know that?
00:35:22Why, I...
00:35:23I...
00:35:24All right, never mind that.
00:35:27You're trying to tell me that you found him wandering down 52nd Street with nothing on but a raincoat.
00:35:35Yes, sir.
00:35:36Then what happened?
00:35:37Why, I took him home and...
00:35:41Gone?
00:35:42And I made a bed in the basement.
00:35:44And he's been in your basement ever since, is that right?
00:35:48Mostly, sir.
00:35:49What did he say his name was?
00:35:51He said he didn't remember.
00:35:54Quick, now, what are you calling?
00:35:55Why, I call him Snooki.
00:35:57All right, you can go.
00:36:05Yes, sir.
00:36:07Can I take him with me?
00:36:09No.
00:36:10You leave him with me.
00:36:13Oh, Snooki.
00:36:15I'm gonna try and get you out of this.
00:36:18Call me Richard.
00:36:20Goodbye, Richard.
00:36:22Goodbye, everybody.
00:36:30Come here, Richard.
00:38:38Tell me what you know about the Daniels affair.
00:38:40What happened?
00:38:42I don't know.
00:38:45What happened to Tommy?
00:38:46I don't know that either.
00:38:47You didn't hide him, did you, Joe?
00:38:53Why should I hide him?
00:38:56Well, I thought that maybe...
00:38:57Plan on getting rid of this?
00:39:12The clothes in this drawer have nothing to do with the Daniels case, if that's what you're thinking.
00:39:18Would the police believe that?
00:39:20Now you listen to me.
00:39:21The police are not going to know anything about it.
00:39:23Maybe.
00:39:26I'll make a bargain with you, Everett.
00:39:28I don't bargain over things like this.
00:39:30Then I'll give you a piece of advice.
00:39:33Well?
00:39:33Stick to your medical work and forget about the clothes in this drawer.
00:39:39You're not a detective and you're just wasting your time.
00:39:44No explanation.
00:39:46No explanation.
00:39:47Good night, Joe.
00:39:50Good night, Joe.
00:40:17Let's go back.
00:40:39What's the matter?
00:40:40There's another guy on the sidewalk.
00:40:43For the lover of Peyton.
00:40:47He ain't dead.
00:40:50This street ain't healthy.
00:40:52Wait a minute.
00:40:53Oh, come on.
00:40:54Let's get out of here.
00:40:55But we can't leave a guy what's alive.
00:40:58The last time you said we couldn't leave a guy what's dead.
00:41:01We nearly got in touch then.
00:41:06He's drunk.
00:41:08No, he ain't.
00:41:09He's hurt.
00:41:10What's the matter, fella?
00:41:13Oh.
00:41:15Got a crack on the head.
00:41:16Held up?
00:41:17No, I don't think so.
00:41:21Say, if you two fellas will give me a hand in the nearest speakeasy, I'll buy you a drink.
00:41:26Sure.
00:41:26Oh, boy.
00:41:28There you go.
00:41:29There's your hand.
00:41:30Thanks.
00:41:30There you go.
00:41:44There you go.
00:41:44There you go.
00:41:44Oh.
00:42:14Are you civil?
00:42:16Yes, and I don't know where he is.
00:42:18Who?
00:42:19Richard.
00:42:21Oh, Richard Rowe?
00:42:22Yes.
00:42:24I wish you'd leave me alone.
00:42:27I'm so weary of policemen.
00:42:29Well, I'm not a policeman.
00:42:31I'm a friend of...
00:42:32of Richard.
00:42:34Oh.
00:42:36Snooki?
00:42:37Well, he's not here.
00:42:39Well, where is he?
00:42:40He's gone.
00:42:41Where?
00:42:42I don't know.
00:42:43I used up all my savings to get him out of jail,
00:42:47and now he's missing.
00:42:49Sybil, I must find him.
00:42:51Now, think hard.
00:42:53Did he mention any place he might have gone?
00:42:56No.
00:42:58The paper said that he had on a raincoat when you found him.
00:43:01That was all.
00:43:04Well, may I see it?
00:43:05His raincoat?
00:43:06Yes.
00:43:07Oh, my.
00:43:10Oh.
00:43:13This is all I have left of my Snooki.
00:43:16Here it is.
00:43:17Tommy's.
00:43:18What?
00:43:19Nothing.
00:43:22I never thought of looking in the pocket.
00:43:24Oh.
00:43:28Is it from a woman?
00:43:31Do you mind if I look, too?
00:43:33729 Vine Street, Philadelphia.
00:43:43It's just possible that...
00:43:51Is Tommy here?
00:43:57Tommy who?
00:43:58Tommy Freeman.
00:43:58I don't know nobody by that name.
00:44:01Listen, I'm Dr. Everett, a friend of Tommy's.
00:44:04Now, I want to help him, but I must see him.
00:44:06Dr. Everett?
00:44:07Yes.
00:44:13Who is it?
00:44:14It's a Dr. Everett.
00:44:16Dr. Everett?
00:44:17Let him in.
00:44:35Come in.
00:44:43Hello, Tommy.
00:44:44How'd you find me?
00:44:46Found an address and a letter and took a long chance.
00:44:49Nobody else knows.
00:44:50Not a soul.
00:44:52Well, what's the matter with your eyes?
00:44:54It's a disguise.
00:44:58Doc, have you got anything to make me sleep?
00:45:01What's the matter?
00:45:02I've hardly slept since I saw you last.
00:45:05Gee, I think I'm going crazy.
00:45:08Well, tell me what happened.
00:45:10Get it off your mind.
00:45:11That'll help.
00:45:12You wouldn't believe me.
00:45:14Nobody would.
00:45:15Gee, you think I was crazy, too.
00:45:18Sit down, Tommy.
00:45:24Now, Tommy, I'm your friend, and I want to help you.
00:45:28If I'm going to do that, you'll have to tell me exactly what happened.
00:45:31I don't know exactly what happened.
00:45:34Come on, Tommy.
00:45:35Pull yourself together.
00:45:40Now, then.
00:45:41Well, that was the night I was supposed to take care of McNaughton.
00:45:46Chandler was away, remember?
00:45:47Mm-hmm.
00:45:50Well, along comes two fellows with a dead guy,
00:45:55and they dumps him in the back room and beats it.
00:45:58Then...
00:45:58Go on.
00:45:59Well, I undressed the guy, and I no sooner finished when all of a sudden he started to move,
00:46:06and I got scared and ran.
00:46:10Well, the next morning I read the papers,
00:46:13and I came here, the only place I knew of to go.
00:46:19Gee, Doc.
00:46:21Now, am I crazy?
00:46:22No, Tommy.
00:46:27I'm just beginning to understand.
00:46:30Where's the telephone?
00:46:32In the hall.
00:46:38Doc!
00:46:39Doc, what are you going to do?
00:46:41It's all right, Tommy.
00:46:42We're going to play a hunch.
00:46:44Long distance, please.
00:46:46Well, but, Doc...
00:46:47Hello?
00:46:55Ray!
00:46:57Oh, darling, I've been so worried.
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:04You found Tommy?
00:47:07Where?
00:47:09In Philadelphia.
00:47:11Is he all right?
00:47:12Yes.
00:47:17Oh, I'm so glad.
00:47:20Yes, dear.
00:47:21I understand.
00:47:26Yes, I will.
00:47:31Well, what did Tommy say?
00:47:34Well, when will you be back in New York?
00:47:39Ray!
00:47:39It's the police!
00:47:40Give me that phone.
00:47:43Doc, what's the matter?
00:47:45Get your hat.
00:47:46Give me that number, quick.
00:47:47How do I know what number it is?
00:47:50Long distance?
00:47:52Well, we got you this time, young lady.
00:47:56Get me chief operator, then.
00:47:57This is the police talking.
00:47:59Are you arresting me?
00:48:01You bet your sweet life we are.
00:48:02On what charge?
00:48:04Suspicion of murder.
00:48:06Where are we going, Doc?
00:48:10New York.
00:48:12See, I wish I could get some sleep.
00:48:17This will be the seventh unsolved murder this year.
00:48:26Unless we catch somebody.
00:48:27That can go on.
00:48:29Well, it ain't my fault.
00:48:30Nor mine.
00:48:32My job is to prosecute murderers.
00:48:34Not catch them.
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:35Why don't you arrest Richard Rowe?
00:48:39We need him.
00:48:41Try and find him.
00:48:43Well, put more men on the case.
00:48:45Say, what do you think we're running?
00:48:46A standing army?
00:48:47I've got ten men on the case now.
00:48:50And as near as I can find out, nobody knows nothing.
00:48:53Ten men?
00:48:53Yes, ten.
00:48:55There's two hunting Everett.
00:48:57There's two watching Sybil.
00:48:59There's two trying to catch that roll nut.
00:49:01There's two trailing Chandler.
00:49:02And two trying to find that undertaker kid Tommy.
00:49:05And as near as I can see, nobody cares who killed Daniels.
00:49:08I do.
00:49:09The election's coming on.
00:49:11Oh, yeah.
00:49:12But outside of you, nobody cares.
00:49:17Frisbee speaking.
00:49:20Well, that's the judge's responsibility.
00:49:23Judge Lewis has just released Mrs. Everett on a writ.
00:49:28What?
00:49:29Well, what's the use of catching them at all, then?
00:49:32Now we've got to put on two more men to watch her.
00:49:37Frank Daniels has just been seen.
00:49:40Daniels?
00:49:41Yeah.
00:49:43Where?
00:49:43In Trenton.
00:49:45Then he's not dead?
00:49:46It's alleged he ain't, but didn't his uncle bury him?
00:49:49Well, he promised to.
00:49:51No, listen.
00:49:52I saw this man dead.
00:49:54His face was gone.
00:49:55I know it.
00:49:56Well, how can a man be alive without a face?
00:49:59I know.
00:50:00You don't know.
00:50:02Who saw him?
00:50:03His uncle.
00:50:04When?
00:50:05Today.
00:50:06In Trenton?
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:11Well, are you through wisdom?
00:50:13Come on.
00:50:13Read all about the Frank Daniels case.
00:50:20Private, favor, mister.
00:50:21Read all about the Frank Daniels case.
00:50:23Yes, sir.
00:50:24Yes, sir.
00:50:24Right out.
00:50:25Yes, sir.
00:50:25Extra.
00:50:26Private, mister.
00:50:27Extra.
00:50:28Frank Daniels case.
00:50:29Read all about the Frank Daniels case.
00:50:31All right.
00:50:39You may open it.
00:50:42Isn't there some way to stop this?
00:50:44Uncle Robert, for heaven's sake, didn't you look at him before he was buried?
00:50:48Didn't you even see him?
00:50:49Why, this is Clark C. McNaughton.
00:51:02McNaughton?
00:51:03Why, no, it isn't.
00:51:05That's the body that we got for Daniels.
00:51:07Nevertheless, this is McNaughton.
00:51:10With a face in that condition, it could be anyone.
00:51:14Well, that's not my nephew.
00:51:17Daniels, he was a much smaller man.
00:51:21Then it isn't, Father?
00:51:23No.
00:51:32I'm positive that this is the body that we got from the Daniels' body.
00:51:42You know, this is a very disgraceful affair.
00:51:45Well, Mr. Daniels, I'm very sorry that you've been inconvenienced to this extent.
00:51:50We are trying to, uh...
00:51:52Yes.
00:51:53But it wasn't, Father.
00:51:55It was McNaughton.
00:51:56Are you sure?
00:51:58All right.
00:51:59I've got to hurry now, but I'll call you later.
00:52:01Bye.
00:52:05It was McNaughton.
00:52:06Come on, let's go.
00:52:08What are we going to do now, Doc?
00:52:09Come on, Tommy.
00:52:10Let's hurry.
00:52:10Oh, gee, I wish I could get some sleep.
00:52:13What do you make of it?
00:52:16Well, it looks like Chandler's got something to do with it.
00:52:18Why?
00:52:19This body came in his place.
00:52:22They must have made a mistake.
00:52:23Who's they?
00:52:24The police surgeons.
00:52:25They got the wrong body.
00:52:27They said there was only one body there.
00:52:30Then who did Chandler bury for McNaughton?
00:52:33That's what we'll have to find out.
00:52:34I'll get a court order in the morning to open the McNaughton vault.
00:52:39All right.
00:52:52Hello?
00:52:54Hello.
00:52:55Is that you, Sybil?
00:52:56This is Richard, Sybil.
00:52:58Oh, Richard.
00:52:59Oh, Snooki, where are you?
00:53:03I'm in Jersey.
00:53:04But they won't let me on the ferries.
00:53:07Because I haven't enough money.
00:53:10Every time I drive to the toll gate, they get sore and chase me away.
00:53:17Driving?
00:53:18What on earth are you driving?
00:53:21I'm driving my car.
00:53:22Yes, but they won't let me on the ferries.
00:53:29Why, I've always had a car, Sybil.
00:53:33You don't think I stole it, do you?
00:53:41I'm a block from the Hoboken ferry.
00:53:44But they won't let me on it.
00:53:46Oh, Richard.
00:53:48You stay right there till I come for you.
00:53:51Don't you dare drive around.
00:53:53You wait right there.
00:53:54Do you hear me?
00:53:56Gee, don't yell at me, Sybil.
00:54:00I've had enough trouble today.
00:54:03Yes.
00:54:04I'll wait right here.
00:54:06I'll see you.
00:54:25Up on the gate.
00:54:50Shut the gate.
00:54:55Gee, Doc, I'm getting scared.
00:55:08What's that?
00:55:09What?
00:55:11I heard something.
00:55:12Ah, you're bugs.
00:55:15Wait a minute.
00:55:22Ah, come on.
00:55:24We can't wait here.
00:55:26You're hearing things.
00:55:27Yeah.
00:55:28Yeah, shut up.
00:55:29Let's get out of here.
00:55:54Hey, what's the idea?
00:56:05The dirty thieves.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:10Let's get out of here.
00:56:12It's a good idea.
00:56:13Where are we going with it?
00:56:19We're going to deliver it, Tommy.
00:56:21Yeah?
00:56:23Who to?
00:56:25To the men who hired those thugs to steal it.
00:56:27Hey, you going in there?
00:56:53Sure.
00:56:54Well, so long.
00:56:58All right.
00:56:59Get it in here quick.
00:57:16Where do you want him?
00:57:17Right here.
00:57:21What's the idea?
00:57:22Playing detective again, Joe.
00:57:25I told you once before to keep your nose out of my business.
00:57:29And I remember that you emphasized it with a clout on the head.
00:57:31That wasn't nice.
00:57:32Yeah.
00:57:33Well, you will never interfere again.
00:57:35Don't move, Joe.
00:57:36Don't move, Joe.
00:57:41Give it time, Lord.
00:58:36Stop! Stop! Pick him up!
00:58:49Good morning, Tommy. Give me that gun.
00:58:54Get him over here.
00:59:04Well, what next, Doc?
00:59:07Call Mrs. Everett. Tell her to get Frisbee'd. Meet us at headquarters.
00:59:11Sure!
00:59:14Tell her we'll clear up this whole mystery.
00:59:17Hello, operator.
00:59:18You said 12 o'clock. It's now 15 minutes past 12.
00:59:29I'm afraid I can't wait until longer.
00:59:31I left a very interesting bridge game as it was.
00:59:33Oh, please wait, Mr. Frisbee. He'll be here. I know he will.
00:59:37How do you know?
00:59:39He said he would.
00:59:40Oh, well, I mean, no doubt about it.
00:59:44Come on, boy.
00:59:48Hey!
00:59:48Brubaker's office.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51Thanks.
00:59:53Hey, wait a minute.
00:59:57Hey, what's the idea of bringing this decoration in here?
01:00:00Put it down there, boys.
01:00:11Say, what is this?
01:00:13Are you...
01:00:13Yes, but who are you?
01:00:20I'm Dr. Everett.
01:00:22Say, I've been looking for you.
01:00:24Good.
01:00:25This is the McNaughton, uh, the casket from the McNaughton vault.
01:00:28Well, we're going to the McNaughton vault tomorrow.
01:00:33Mr. Chamber thought you might like to see it tonight.
01:00:35I did nothing of a kind.
01:00:37Now, wait a minute.
01:00:39I'll take charge here.
01:00:41Did you steal this?
01:00:42Did you steal it?
01:00:43I refuse to answer that question until I have consulted my attorneys.
01:00:47So you won't talk.
01:00:49Did he?
01:00:50Yes.
01:00:51Tommy and I can prove that.
01:00:52So you're Tommy, eh?
01:00:53Yes, sir.
01:00:54Wait a minute, Brubaker.
01:00:55Will you be good enough to explain?
01:00:59The whole affair was caused by a switch in bodies.
01:01:02You'll see if you'll, uh, look at that.
01:01:07Open it up.
01:01:09Who, me?
01:01:10Yes, you.
01:01:14It's all right, dear.
01:01:18Why?
01:01:19Why, this is Clark, seem it not?
01:01:21Yes, and there's nothing wrong with his face.
01:01:23No.
01:01:24Well, if he wasn't in a smash-up...
01:01:25How did he die?
01:01:28I think Chamber can answer that.
01:01:34McNaughton was murdered.
01:01:38Murdered?
01:01:39Yes, shot.
01:01:40Who shot him?
01:01:41Jack Lee, the gambler.
01:01:43He had been mixed up with McNaughton for years.
01:01:45That's what we were trying to cover up.
01:01:47Where did this take place?
01:01:49At McNaughton's apartment in Albany.
01:01:51What were you doing there?
01:01:53Well, McNaughton had called us all together for a sort of political conference.
01:01:57Us?
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:58Nolan, Sutherland, Jack Lee, McNaughton here, and myself.
01:02:02Go on.
01:02:03McNaughton accused Lee of double-crossing him.
01:02:05There was an argument, and Lee shot him.
01:02:08We started to bring Lee back here to see my lawyer.
01:02:11Once suddenly, he got panicky and made a dashboard.
01:02:13We followed, of course, as fast as we could, and found the car smashed, his face horribly mutilated.
01:02:19Right there.
01:02:20To save a public scandal, we decided to pass Lee off as McNaughton.
01:02:23So you changed the clothes and switched the bodies?
01:02:26Yes.
01:02:26Our identification satisfied the local authorities, and the body was sent here to my shop.
01:02:31What happened then?
01:02:32Well, the police mistook the body of Lee for Daniels.
01:02:36And so, after all, McNaughton here, for whom we had planned the proper's grave, was buried in his own castle.
01:02:42You knew they wouldn't open it because of the supposedly mutilated face.
01:02:46Exactly.
01:02:47Well, I'll be.
01:02:48Well, I'm glad that's over.
01:02:49I haven't slept for weeks.
01:02:51See, these are a bye.
01:02:54Take these three men to the lieutenant's office, and hold them for further questioning.
01:02:59Come on, you.
01:03:03Sergeant, have that taken to the coroner's.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:18Well, that solved the whole thing.
01:03:26Yeah?
01:03:27What about Daniels?
01:03:29Well, that's right.
01:03:30What about that one?
01:03:31Daniels is alive.
01:03:33Tommy can prove that.
01:03:35Yeah, I saw him move under the sheets.
01:03:37Holy smokes, it was terrible.
01:03:41Father!
01:03:42Father?
01:03:43Father?
01:03:45Why?
01:03:45Why?
01:03:47Why don't you recognize me?
01:03:51I...
01:03:51I seem to, uh...
01:03:54What does she mean?
01:03:56Ro is Frank Daniels.
01:03:58What?
01:03:58Oh.
01:04:00Then he...
01:04:01He killed himself?
01:04:06I'm beginning to get a funny feeling again.
01:04:09Let me get this straight.
01:04:10The explanation of this is very simple.
01:04:14When Daniels left me, he was set upon, beaten, robbed, and left unconscious.
01:04:19By who?
01:04:19That's for you to find out.
01:04:21Then he was picked up for dead and taken to Chandler's.
01:04:24Then what?
01:04:25Later, he recovered.
01:04:27Got down off the slab in Chandler's and left.
01:04:30The police surgeons then made a mistake in, uh, in bodies.
01:04:34Well, go on.
01:04:35That's all.
01:04:36Hey, can I go home and get some sleep now?
01:04:39You get out of here, or I'll put you to sleep now.
01:04:43Dad, Ray and I are married.
01:04:46Well, isn't that nice?
01:04:48Oh, dear.
01:04:50What's the matter?
01:04:52Well, when he was Richard Rowe, he was going to marry me.
01:04:56And now that he's Daniels, I don't know what he'll do.
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:05Oh, Snooki.
01:05:08Oh, Snooki.
01:05:13Hello, Brubaker speaking.
01:05:16You found a body.
01:05:19Whereabouts on 52nd Street?
01:05:21What?
01:05:22In an alley.
