00:00It's the principle of the thing.
00:03Yes, well, we haven't had our drink.
00:06No, thanks. I must be getting along.
00:09Must you, really?
00:10I'm afraid so.
00:14You're not walking out on me, are you?
00:16My reputation.
00:18Stinky.
00:20I say, you know, you are an attractive woman.
00:23Thanks.
00:30You fool.
00:32I told you to wait outside.
00:34What did you have to kill him for?
00:36All I had to do was walk out with us.
00:38He held you in his arms.
00:40Don't touch him.
00:41Don't touch anything.
00:43Now get out.
00:44I'm sorry.
00:45You're sorry?
00:46What about me?
00:48This is murder.
00:50What about Scotland Yard?
00:51What about Sherlock Holmes?
00:54Now get out!
01:00Did you get it?
01:26Good.
01:27Did you have any trouble with him?
01:31Just a matter of murder.
01:37Ah, Mr. Holmes.
01:38Hopkins.
01:39Thanks for coming so promptly.
01:41Inspector Moustraat suggested that I call through to you.
01:44Mr. Emery was the client of Mr. Holmes, Inspector.
01:46Indeed.
01:47Who didn't mention that when I telephoned you, Mr. Holmes?
01:49Well, not exactly a client, Inspector.
01:51Dodgen-Thompson?
01:52He was killed between the hours of 11 and 2 o'clock this morning, Mr. Holmes.
01:56It must have been someone he knew, someone of whom he had no suspicion.
02:03Poor old Stinky.
02:04It's all my fault.
02:06I should have prevented this.
02:07Well, there's no time to start talking about that now, Doctor.
02:11Apparently it's gone.
02:12That's the second attempt on the musical box that Emery bought at the auction sale.
02:16And this time it was successful.
02:17But that box was only worth two pounds.
02:20It was worth a man's life, Watson.
02:22I think we'd better pay a visit to Gaylord's auction room and that fellow Crabtree.
02:26Inspector, may I suggest that you make a complete search of this flat for a small, plain, musical box about that size.
02:33Come on, Watson.
03:03Do you happen to notice if anyone showed any particular interest during the auction in the purchases of these three boxes?
03:12Oh, come on, Mr. Crabtree.
03:14This is very literally a matter of life and death.
03:16Well, since you put it that way, Mr. Holmes,
03:19there was a gentleman came in here about an hour after closing time, and he was in an awful state, he was.
03:23He gave me five pounds to tell him where the boxes had gone to.
03:27He said they had a sentimental value for him, sir.
03:29What an expensive sentiment.
03:31Can you describe him?
03:32He was tall, distinguished looking, and he had grey hair and a moustache.
03:36He was quite a gentleman, sir.
03:37Now, what was his reaction when you were unable to supply him with the address of the young lady who owned the shop?
03:42I told him the young lady usually come back on Thursday.
03:45He said he'd come back on Thursday.
03:46Now, that's tomorrow.
03:47Thank you, Mr. Crabtree.
03:48You've been very helpful.
03:50Come along, Watson.
03:51Where are we going now, Holmes?
03:52Well, Mr. Kilgore.
03:54The man who bought the third box.
03:55But hang it all, Holmes.
04:03How do you know those other two musical boxes are of any importance?
04:06I don't, but I certainly have no intention of waiting until the owners are murdered to find out.
04:12No one at home.
04:13I hope that's the explanation.
04:16Well, have a look through this window.
04:23Doesn't seem to be anyone there.
04:25Oh, the place seems deserted, as far as I can see.
04:30Yes.
04:31Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore at home?
04:33No.
04:33When do you expect them?
04:34Oh, in an hour or so.
04:36There's no use your hanging about.
04:38They don't buy nothing from peddlers.
04:40Peddlers?
04:40My good woman.
04:41This is Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
04:43Sherlock Holmes?
04:44Oh, go on.
04:45Do you mind if we come in and wait?
04:47My business is rather urgent.
04:48Well, I've got to go out and do my shopping.
04:51And I don't know, as Mrs. Kilgore, like any stranger's nosing about.
04:55It's quite all right, I assure you.
04:56Well, I've got to be off.
04:58It's a wait in the parlour.
04:59And no smoking, either.
05:02Mrs. Kilgore says it smells like the house.
05:06Funny old girl home.
05:08Hmm.
05:27Park Lane.
05:27Park Lane?
05:28And what would the likes of you be doing in Park Lane?
05:31Now, don't worry about the fair ducky.
05:33If you know how to get the Park Lane, I'll put it.
05:41You know, Holmes, I've been thinking.
05:43There must have been something hidden in that box of old stinkies.
05:47Stolen jewellery, possibly.
05:50What's up, Holmes?
05:51Listen.
05:55What, just the steam in the water pipes?
05:56Watson!
06:07Great Scott!
06:09Come on, Holmes.
06:10Get out of the chair here.
06:14It's all right, my dear.
06:17There, there, there.
06:18Now, don't worry.
06:20It's all over.
06:22There you are, dear.
06:23You don't cry any more.
06:24She tied me up and shut me in the cupboard.
06:27I know, I know.
06:29She won't come back.
06:31Did you show her your new musical box?
06:33Yes.
06:34She said she wanted to hear it play.
06:36And as soon as I showed it to her, she grabbed all of it.
06:38No, I know, I know.
06:39Now, don't worry, nobody.
06:40We'll buy you a new musical box.
06:42Yes, my dear.
06:42The best one in London.
06:44Watson.
06:46Oh, what a fool.
06:47What a fool I've been.
06:48What do you mean, Holmes?
06:49She took the musical box out of this house and that market basket.
06:52Right under our very noses.
06:54Why could the Kilgore child woman want to take the music box?
06:57She isn't the Kilgore child woman.
06:59She's a consummate actress.
07:01An extremely clever, unscrupulous woman who will stop at nothing.
07:03Take care of the child, will you, Wolf?
07:04I'll learn till her parents get back.
07:06Explain everything to them.
07:07Of course I will.
07:08But, Holmes, where are you going?
07:11Somewhere, somehow.
07:12I must get to the young lady who bought that third musical box
07:15before our opponents find her.
07:16I only hope that I won't be too late.
07:18I'll be too late.
07:22Oh, no.
07:23No, no.
07:24No, no, no, darling.
07:25You mustn't cry anymore.
07:27Now, cheer up.
07:29Would you like to hear old uncle make a noise like a duck?
07:41Oh, sorry.
07:43And now, ladies and gentlemen,
08:11how much am I offered for this beautiful lace Dresden China figurine?
08:16A lady of the French court.
08:18Now, this is the genuine article.
08:21What a beautiful ornament for your mantelpiece.
08:23Or you could use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table.
08:26Now, would somebody start me for 10 pounds?
08:28Would somebody start me for 10 pounds?
08:30Eight pounds.
08:31Seven pounds.
08:33All right.
08:33Five.
08:34Five pounds is offered.
08:35Five pounds is offered.
08:35Five pounds is offered.
08:36Five pounds, 10.
08:37Five pounds, 15.
08:39Five pounds, 15.
08:39Six pounds is offered.
08:42Six pounds, six pounds.
08:43Going once, going twice.
08:45The third and the last call have you all done?
08:46Sold to the lady from Twickenham for six pounds.
08:50Next, we have a real museum piece, ladies and gentlemen.
08:54A fine 19th century doll.
08:57The costume and exact replica of the holiday clothes worn by the Hungarian peasant women.
09:02Now, ladies and gentlemen,
09:02an article like this would cost you from 15 to 20 pounds in a West End shop.
09:07I'm not going to ask you for anything like that.
09:09Who will give me two pounds for it?
09:10Two pounds.
09:11Anybody offer me two pounds?
09:12Two pounds for the Hungarian?
09:13Two pounds?
09:14One pound.
09:15What?
09:15Anybody give me one pound?
09:16Anybody offer me one pound for the doll?
09:18One pound is offered, ladies and gentlemen.
09:19One pound is offered.
09:21Now, I'm not going to waste your valuable time or mine
09:24in trying to get one half of what this beautiful doll is worth.
09:27If the young lady can steal it for one pound, that's her good fortune.
09:30So it's going once, it's going twice.
09:32The third and last call.
09:33Anymore?
09:34Sold to the young lady for one pound.
09:37And now, ladies and gentlemen,
09:38may I draw your attention to something which may be a great surprise to you,
09:41worthy of any collection.
09:43The only other one like it is in the British Museum.
09:46It's a Ming vase of the 7th Dynasty.
09:48This vase lay in a large collection somewhere outside Rome
09:54for over two centuries, I understand.
09:55It was discovered there by the noted antiquarian, Sir Andrew Copleston.
09:59Now, some of you may remember Sir Andrew Copleston.
10:01Besides being a noted traveling antiquarian,
10:03he's also a gentleman rider.
10:09A girl with a parcel in her hands.
10:12That's her.
10:13Are you sure that's the girl?
10:15She fits perfectly the auctioneer's description.
10:17Follow her, Hamid.
10:22A girl with a gentleman and a woman
