00:00:30The End

00:01:00The End

00:01:30The End

00:02:00The End

00:02:29Don't be too hard on cousin Tom Jasper

00:02:32He hasn't found himself yet

00:02:35It's all right, Laura. We can't all be important people

00:02:38By the way, Arthur, when are they going to make you chairman of the board?

00:02:41If that should happen, it won't be because I squander my time playing polo

00:02:45Ah, two goals for Arthur

00:02:47When they make Arthur chairman of the board, I'll sell my stock

00:02:51That's the sugar, Laura

00:02:52Hurry up, put it, put it down

00:02:55Come, come it, Laura, do you have to spill your coffee all over me?

00:03:04Oh, I couldn't help it, Jeff. That was that awful thunder

00:03:06I'm sure we've all been struck by lightning

00:03:09Never strikes twice in the same place, Laura

00:03:11Just keep your chin up and hold on to everything

00:03:13Elvira

00:03:14Elvira

00:03:16Chad, don't excite yourself

00:03:18How many times have I

00:03:19Elvira

00:03:20Elvira

00:03:21Come and find you, hurry up

00:03:24You're getting slower than a snail

00:03:29Come on, come on, come on

00:03:32Send it

00:03:34Send it down

00:03:35Will you stop fussing over me?

00:03:39You found it, Arthur, can't you do anything with this wife of yours?

00:03:43Laura, dear

00:03:44Elvira

00:03:46Bring my port

00:03:48My private port

00:03:50Jasper, wine?

00:03:52Well, you know what Dr. Denham said about alcohol

00:03:54What's the use of arguing with him when he's determined to dig his own grave?

00:03:58Yeah, it's my grave and I have to lie

00:04:01Jasper, you worry me when you talk like that

00:04:04You always worry me

00:04:05Darling, is there nothing I can do to please you?

00:04:08Yes, leave me alone

00:04:09Take it and put it in the library

00:04:11Save it there instead

00:04:12Come down, hurry up, hurry up, get out

00:04:14There, darling

00:04:22Take that blanket off of me

00:04:25Confounded that belongs on a horse

00:04:27Bringing you down here was a false alarm, Doctor

00:04:31There's nothing wrong with his health

00:04:32Let me take your arm, Laura

00:04:34Why do you suppose he asked us down here tonight?

00:04:38I can't imagine

00:04:39Must be a big disappointment to you

00:04:41He's not ready to kick the bucket

00:04:42You look lovely in mourning

00:04:44Oh, you shouldn't smoke

00:04:49That's why I do it

00:04:50Don't go, Elvira

00:04:57What I have to say might interest you

00:05:01Of course you all know

00:05:04That the new state inheritance tax

00:05:07Goes into effect tonight

00:05:09At midnight

00:05:10Yes, I know

00:05:11I thought you would

00:05:13You'd take quite a slice

00:05:19Out of the fortune that you expect, dear Laura

00:05:21To inherit from me

00:05:23Wouldn't it?

00:05:24That's unkind

00:05:25Why, we never once thought about the money

00:05:28It's you we're thinking about, Jasper

00:05:31I'm sure your solicitation, dear Laura

00:05:35Touches me

00:05:36But I'm not going to make you wait until I die

00:05:39Before this new tax goes into effect tonight

00:05:43I'm going to make you enough rights

00:05:45Of one million dollars

00:05:47Jasper

00:05:48Dolly

00:05:49Don't do that

00:05:51Arthur

00:05:52Arthur

00:05:54On behalf of Laura and myself

00:05:56I want to save it

00:05:57Save that speech for your next board meeting

00:05:59Stop that scribbling

00:06:02If I have to put up with that

00:06:04You won't get anything

00:06:05Don't look so sour, Elvira

00:06:09There's a little gift for you, too

00:06:11Though what a woman like you

00:06:14Is going to do with a million dollars

00:06:15Is more than I know

00:06:17What?

00:06:18Why, Mr. White

00:06:19I don't know what to say

00:06:20You're a rubbish

00:06:21I know what you're saying to yourself

00:06:24If I'd have married that old buzzard

00:06:26I'd have got it all

00:06:27Well, it was worth a million to have escaped that

00:06:31By the way, Elvira

00:06:35Are you doing anything tomorrow night?

00:06:37Will you shut up, Tom?

00:06:39All right

00:06:39But while you're in such a benevolent mood

00:06:41Could you spare me a dime?

00:06:42You're a good-for-nothing scoundrel

00:06:44What would you do with a dime if you had it?

00:06:48Well, I can promise

00:06:48I'd put it into immediate circulation

00:06:50I'm sure of that

00:06:52That's why I'm giving you a million

00:06:54Thanks, Jasper

00:06:56What are you looking so worried about, Doc?

00:07:03Afraid I'm going to run out of money

00:07:04Before I get to you?

00:07:06Well, I have a million for you, too

00:07:08Jasper, I don't know how to say

00:07:12Don't think I don't know why you let me win all those cribbage games

00:07:17Stop that counting on your fingers

00:07:23I still have a million left

00:07:25For my other ass

00:07:27Don't tell me you've found Doris Waverly

00:07:29If my attorney had found any trace of my granddaughter

00:07:33She'd get it all

00:07:34All?

00:07:35Every nickel of it

00:07:37After what her mother did to you

00:07:39She still was the only one of you

00:07:41Worth herself

00:07:42And it took you 20 years to find that out

00:07:44Yeah, that's why I wouldn't want to make it up to the girl

00:07:48For the unhappiness I caused her mother

00:07:51That is not my private stock

00:07:55No, that's the guest wine

00:07:57I'm sorry

00:07:58And who are you going to make happy with the other million, Jasper?

00:08:01Felix

00:08:01You're a penny

00:08:02Yes, Felix

00:08:04So there won't be anything left of my estate for you to fight over

00:08:07Now may I remind you, dear, kind, loving friend

00:08:14That a fool and his money are soon

00:08:17The reserve I've held on to mine for over 70 years

00:08:21Yes, and now you're too old to get any fun out of

00:08:23I'll get my fun watching the pack of you make idiots of yourself

00:08:28Doc

00:08:29You always wanted to endow a clinic

00:08:33Yes

00:08:34Well

00:08:35Now that you have the money

00:08:37You'll most likely throw it away on the races

00:08:40Say, now, confidentially

00:08:41Do you think I'd better get a haircut before I die?

00:08:44Yes, sir

00:08:45Yes

00:08:46Well, that's the first move talking promoter comes along

00:08:52Take it away from her

00:08:53Ah, sir, possibly bamboozle Lara into giving it to him

00:08:58To lose in Wall Street

00:08:59Why not?

00:09:00Don't do that

00:09:02And you my boy. Oh, I'll probably get sued for a million breach of promise anything to amuse you Jasper

00:09:09Yeah

00:09:09Hey after 12 o'clock tonight, it's yours to do with it. You darn please

00:09:18When Felix get here, let me know we'll get this thing over with right away

00:09:23Hey, what you like about death, but he has a heart of gold the last time you discussed his heart

00:09:28You said it was tobacco now

00:09:30We can have a cap on the Riviera

00:09:32Clones motor car

00:09:34We have more important use for the money

00:09:36Well, it's my money and if I want a place on the Riviera, I'm going to have it you'll find that I have something to say about that

00:09:44Oh very well, Arthur

00:09:46But at least we can plan to winter in miami, can't we?

00:09:58Oh

00:10:04Thank you, Felix

00:10:06Yes

00:10:08It's a nasty night, Jasper

00:10:10Who's that with you?

00:10:12Doris

00:10:14Don't leave on me

00:10:16Jasper, I found your granddaughter

00:10:18My, my, my

00:10:34So, you're Doris

00:10:38Why didn't you come to me before?

00:10:40I never thought you wanted me

00:10:42Not until I saw Mr. Felix's advertisement in the paper

00:10:58Ladies and gentlemen

00:11:00My granddaughter

00:11:02How do you do?

00:11:04Good evening

00:11:06Father

00:11:07There's so much I want to

00:11:09Talk to you of

00:11:10Please

00:11:11Have you got the check?

00:11:13Yes

00:11:14I have them right here

00:11:16Well, turn them up

00:11:17I don't need them now

00:11:18My entire fortune goes to Doris

00:11:21You know, child, this is the happiest moment I've spent in 20 years

00:11:27You ever see a lot of hungry wolves waiting around to feast on the court?

00:11:31No

00:11:32Well, turn around and take a look

00:11:37Looks like something can spoil their dinner

00:11:40Oh, you had yours?

00:11:42How about a nice hot cup of coffee?

00:11:46Elvira

00:11:49Yes, Mr. White

00:11:50Some hot coffee and your snack and make it snappy

00:11:53Yes, yes, Mr. White

00:11:59Thanks, Felix, I feel the need of one of these

00:12:03Might as well take down your stocking, Laura

00:12:05Santa Claus won't be here

00:12:06You talk as though this were a joke

00:12:08It is, only we're on the wrong end of it

00:12:12Well, Doc, it looks as though that heart of gold turned out to be tobacco after all

00:12:15Your levity isn't in good taste, Gene

00:12:17Don't kid me, you needed that million

00:12:19I heard you lost quite a wad on the ponies lately

00:12:22What a sucker you were, Felix, letting the girl find you

00:12:24If you're reflecting on my integrity as a member of the ball, why

00:12:27Tell it to a jury

00:12:28It's not fair

00:12:29What right has that girl got to come here after all these years?

00:12:32What right has she?

00:12:34Oh, it's just awful

00:12:35The old devil would do something like this

00:12:38I can't stand it

00:12:39I can't stand it

00:12:40I can't stand it

00:12:41I can't stand it

00:12:42Laura

00:12:43Laura

00:12:44Laura

00:12:48That's the quickest million dollars I ever lost

00:12:51Well, while there's life, there's hope

00:12:53Too bad she couldn't have waited until after midnight

00:12:55Yeah

00:12:56Where are you going?

00:12:57I'm going upstairs to get acquainted with five million dollars

00:13:01Felix, are you sure that this girl is Doris Waverley?

00:13:04There can be no question of her identity

00:13:06She even had letters of her mother to prove it

00:13:08I'd like to see those letters, Felix

00:13:10That'll be all right with me

00:13:11Suppose we go into the den

00:13:27Who are you?

00:13:28Say, how much longer are you going to keep, Miss Waverley?

00:13:29I'd like to do a little entertaining myself

00:13:30Well, I'll show you papers, little boy

00:13:57I'd like to see those letters

00:13:59Come on

00:14:00So, let's go

00:14:01I'll show you

00:14:02I'd like to see that

00:14:03I can see those letters

00:14:04Now, when I know I have letters

00:14:05I'll show you

00:14:06The time you

00:14:07Is this a star?

00:14:08Wow

00:14:10There is nothing

00:14:12Even when you're here

00:14:13My heart, yes

00:14:14Have you favourite

00:14:16You've heard the answer

00:14:17You know

00:14:18I've heard the answer

00:14:19I've heard

00:14:20I've tried

00:14:21You've heard

00:14:22I think

00:14:23You know

00:14:24I've heard

00:14:25You know

00:14:26When you're going to be married, I'm going to make you Mrs. Henry Waverly, no matter

00:14:38what your father says.

00:14:40Jasper never forgave his daughter for running off with that actor.

00:14:43From the day he sealed up her room, it has never been opened.

00:14:50Must have been a temptation for you to get rid of these letters, Felix.

00:14:56Beg your pardon?

00:14:58No offense, Felix.

00:15:01Driving 40 miles with the girl whose safe arrival here would cost you a million dollars.

00:15:07I don't mind saying it would have been a temptation to me.

00:15:11Sounds as though you meant that.

00:15:13A lot of money, a million dollars these days.

00:15:16You might as well know the truth.

00:15:29There's a telegram that came while we were at dinner.

00:15:34Oh, Arthur, how could you?

00:15:39Arthur!

00:15:40Whining won't help.

00:15:41That girl's spoiled everything.

00:15:42Well, what are we going to do?

00:15:46There must be some way out.

00:15:48That money would have saved us.

00:16:03When we get this room changed around, you won't know it.

00:16:06We're going to get rid of all this heavy old stuff.

00:16:09We're going to get things.

00:16:11Things that look like you.

00:16:13It's almost a shame to do anything to this room.

00:16:16It's beautiful just as it is.

00:16:21You like it?

00:16:22Like it?

00:16:23I love it.

00:16:25After some of the places I've lived in, it's paradise.

00:16:28It hasn't always been easy for you, has it, child?

00:16:30Not always.

00:16:32But that doesn't matter now.

00:16:34You could have come to me before this.

00:16:36Mother wouldn't come calling.

00:16:37And neither would I.

00:16:40She wouldn't have had to have crawled if she'd been willing to have left your father.

00:16:43But she seemed to feel that her happiness was with him.

00:16:48But Dad never made her very happy.

00:16:51Your mother wasn't happy with your father?

00:16:54Well, not exactly.

00:16:56But really, I shouldn't feel the way I do about him.

00:16:59After all, he was my father.

00:17:01If she'd only told me.

00:17:08If she'd only told me.

00:17:10Oh, my God.

00:17:20Arthur!

00:17:22What are you going to do?

00:17:25Do you want everybody in the house to hear you?

00:17:27Arthur!

00:17:29You don't do anything foolish!

00:17:31Yes, sir, don't know.

00:17:33Before I shut it for you.

00:17:35I'm sorry, sir.

00:17:36I'm sorry, sir.

00:17:37No, sir.

00:17:38No.

00:17:39No, sir.

00:17:40No, sir.

00:17:41No, sir.

00:17:42No, sir.

00:17:43No, sir.

00:17:44No, sir.

00:17:45No, sir.

00:17:46No, sir.

00:17:47No, sir.

00:17:48Before I shut it for you.

00:17:58If there's anything else you want, just ask for it.

00:18:00Oh, you're a dear, Granddad.

00:18:02Oh, kiddle fix.

00:18:03I mean fiddlesticks.

00:18:04I'm an old grouse.

00:18:06But who wouldn't be with a lot of mummies walking around?

00:18:11Thanks, Elphira.

00:18:13Doesn't look much like her mother, does she?

00:18:18I take after my father.

00:18:20Scat, get out!

00:18:26Never mind Elphira.

00:18:28She's always sour about something.

00:18:31Besides, she just had a great bereavement.

00:18:34Oh, I'm sorry.

00:18:35Sore out of other folks I know.

00:18:36Well, they at least got a good dinner out of it.

00:18:38I don't understand.

00:18:39You would if you knew them.

00:18:40But is there something wrong?

00:18:41Everything straightened itself out the moment that you walked into this house.

00:18:45Nothing else can happen now.

00:18:47Hello!

00:19:10Hello!

00:19:17Hello!

00:19:18Hello!

00:19:19Hello!

00:19:20Hello!

00:19:21Where did you come from?

00:19:35Oh. Where did you come from? Well, I tried ringing the bell, but I couldn't stay out there in the rain all night. Do you know where you are? Are you one of the whites? Well, would you hold that against me? No. Which one are you? Well, I'm the one.

00:20:05I'm the one that's no good. That's a fact. Jasper always said so. I have all the weaknesses and none of the virtues. Probably do what Jasper always said, wind up with a tin cup in my hand. Well, you don't look as though you were suffering. Well, you don't know the half of it. I just lost a million like that. Poor boy. Tell me, how did it happen? A woman made a sap out of me. They're always making a sap out of me. Or trying to. That's another one of my weaknesses. I won't take advantage.

00:20:35Thanks. From now on, we whites must stick together. Just who did you say you were? Doris. I'm Jasper White's granddaughter. You're who? Doris Waverly. Well, this is going to be interesting. You have no idea. Well, I suppose you are surprised by that. Yes, I am, but not nearly so surprised as Jasper's going to be.

00:20:55Listen, by the way, when you put on your act for him, it better be a good one. I don't get you. Well, you see, I happen to know you're not Doris Waverly. I saw you in Boston last week in an act at the Regent Theater.

00:21:08Oh, you should call us in Springfield. We'll buy them there, too.

00:21:13Here come two gentlemen who will enjoy meeting you. Dr. Denham and Mr. Felix. Gentlemen, Miss Doris Waverly.

00:21:20How do you do?

00:21:23How do you do?

00:21:24Is this some more of your perverted sense of human, young man?

00:21:26Now, my idea of a joke, I can think of funnier things than belonging to the Jasper White family.

00:21:32As Mr. White's attorney, you'll understand my interest in your unexpected appearance, Miss Waverly.

00:21:38That's okay with me.

00:21:40Where'd you come from?

00:21:41Boston. Just played a week at the Regent. Too bad you didn't catch the act. Do you good to relax?

00:21:47An actress, eh? What, uh, brought you here?

00:21:51The great Laval.

00:21:52Who?

00:21:53Joe Laval, my partner in the Vortival Act.

00:21:55We ran out of gas down the road. He won't be here any minute.

00:22:25Is that so?

00:22:36And so, after all these years, you suddenly take it into your mind to visit your grandfather.

00:22:41Now, you're catching on. Now, if you don't mind telling Mr. White.

00:22:46Oh, let me do it. I can hardly wait.

00:22:51Pardon me, madam.

00:22:52What are you made up for? Lady Macbeth?

00:22:54What do you want?

00:22:55In case you have to know, I'm seeking the whereabouts of one Doris Waverly.

00:22:58Who are you?

00:22:59Don't you know who I am?

00:23:01I am the master of ledger domain.

00:23:03The great Laval, the world's greatest magician.

00:23:06Prestidigitator. Now you see it, and now you don't.

00:23:16Here I am, Joe.

00:23:19I'll be with you in a minute, babe.

00:23:25Say, what kind of a one-night stand is this we've walked into?

00:23:28Who's the brother, Ike?

00:23:34A couple of nice boys, Joe.

00:23:36They've just given me a marvelous reception.

00:23:40Well, always glad to meet my public.

00:23:46Gentlemen, have one on me.

00:23:50Now you see it.

00:23:51Now you know.

00:23:52Deaf and dumb, both of them.

00:24:00But I'm not hungry.

00:24:01You'd better have something.

00:24:03Try a cup of this coffee.

00:24:04You'd better drink it when it's hot.

00:24:06Thanks.

00:24:17Come in.

00:24:19Excuse me, Jasper.

00:24:20Well, what do you want?

00:24:22There's a surprise package waiting for you downstairs.

00:24:25Wait.

00:24:26All right, I'll tell her.

00:24:28Tell who?

00:24:30She calls herself Doris Waverly.

00:24:33What do you mean?

00:24:35That's ridiculous.

00:24:38I'll be right down.

00:24:41Why should anyone want to impersonate me?

00:24:43There's a very good reason, but don't you worry about it.

00:24:46You wait here.

00:24:52Sheriff, you'd better come over here right away.

00:24:59Yes.

00:25:00Goodbye.

00:25:08Not only that, even who'd any use to cop my act?

00:25:11I suppose you're magician enough, Mr. LaValle, to get yourself out of anything.

00:25:15You take the very words right out of my mouth.

00:25:18Ever try getting yourself out of jail?

00:25:20I'll tell you, sir.

00:25:21Come on.

00:25:34Hey.

00:25:35This is the young lady?

00:25:36Yeah

00:25:43You I mean this gentleman is a friend of the young woman

00:25:48Mr.. Laval, uh-uh

00:25:50the great Laval a

00:25:53variety magician vaudeville

00:25:56Artist now. I want to speak to this young lady alone

00:25:59As your attorney just but don't you think that I had better I said alone get out all of you

00:26:04Yeah, yeah, go on

00:26:07I said all of you

00:26:10I'll be standing right off stage in case you need me

00:26:15You

00:26:18You say that you are

00:26:21My granddaughter well

00:26:24That's what mother always told me. Well, why haven't you visited me before this?

00:26:28Well, it's the first time our booking ever took us near Boston

00:26:31Hmm. Why did you pick out this particular night to come here?

00:26:35If you're sorry, I wish I hadn't I only came because mother asked me to before she died. Whoa this mother yours

00:26:44She thought that I would leave you my money your money

00:26:49Why I wouldn't touch a penny of it. I've never had to beg for anything. Then why did you come here?

00:26:54I don't know now. I knew what you'd be like and that's just what you are only more so. No wonder mother ran away

00:27:00To marry don't you say a word against my father?

00:27:02He was the grandest man who ever lived and and I think you're the most hateful old thing I've ever seen wait

00:27:08Oh, I've had enough. I shouldn't have let Joe talk me into coming here

00:27:12Oh, it was his idea eh this money bank you needn't sneer of him

00:27:16He's been everything to me. My father would have been if he'd lived and what's more Joe's an artist a trickster

00:27:22And why should I believe in it different of you?

00:27:25Why should I believe that you were Doris Waverly when I know the real Doris Waverly is upstairs?

00:27:32I don't care what she calls herself, but if he says she's Doris Waverly, it's a lie. Are you willing to tell her that I'd enjoy

00:27:38Well, come on

00:27:52Well, I don't know who she thinks he is, but I know who I am

00:27:54Well, I don't know who she thinks she is but I know who I am

00:27:55Well, I don't know who she thinks he is, but I know who I am.

00:28:21Well, if she didn't hear you, you can tell it to her.

00:28:26Doran!

00:28:30Doran!

00:28:36Doran!

00:28:37Doran!

00:28:38What's the matter, Captain?

00:28:39This door wasn't locked when I left here.

00:28:41Go on, break it over.

00:28:51What's the matter with that?

00:28:52He's dead.

00:28:53Where?

00:28:54Where?

00:28:55He's dead.

00:28:57Where?

00:28:59He must have died instantly.

00:29:00Oh, my God.

00:29:01I'm sorry.

00:29:02He's dead.

00:29:03You know.

00:29:04Oh, my God.

00:29:05I'm sorry.

00:29:06I'm sorry.

00:29:07What is the matter with that?

00:29:09What's the matter with that?

00:29:10He's dead.

00:29:16Where?

00:29:21She must have died instantly.

00:29:23How?

00:29:26Poison.

00:29:27There's no doubt about it.

00:29:28One of the deadlier women.

00:29:29She has all the usual symptoms.

00:29:31But why should she kill herself?

00:29:33Because she knew the real Doris Waverly was downstairs and decided it was the only way out.

00:29:38Well, if she drank poison, why is the cup in her right hand when I know she was left handed?

00:29:43Well, if it wasn't suicide, why was the door locked on the inside?

00:29:46Nobody could come in.

00:29:47Your balcony joins the one to this room, Arthur.

00:29:50Did you or Laura hear anything?

00:29:52Not until I heard the scream.

00:29:57You needn't mind that, Elira.

00:30:00Supposing she did poison herself.

00:30:02She wouldn't have put poison in the coffee pot.

00:30:05If the analysis shows any trace of poison, it wasn't suicide.

00:30:14It was murder.

00:30:17And the person who killed her is in this room.

00:30:21It was murder and it was murder.

00:30:22It was murder.

00:30:23It wasn't murder in this room.

00:30:25If you're in this room.

00:30:26The End

00:30:56cyanide in my bag. How'd you know it was cyanide? The coroner corroborated his

00:31:03diagnosis.

00:31:15Then what's it? Castor oil.

00:31:22You're lucky it wasn't you up there in that room instead of that other girl.

00:31:28Meaning what? Don't you know that whoever killed that girl thought she was Doris

00:31:32Waverly? Well that sort of puts me on the spot doesn't it? Every minute you spend

00:31:38under this roof that clock may be ticking your life away. You're not trying to tell

00:31:42me it means anything to you are you? You might be surprised if I were to tell you

00:31:47how much it could mean to me. I know how much it means to you.

00:31:50It'll be one million dollars richer. Why don't you do your disappearing act?

00:31:56That's an idea at that. Come on we're bowing out of this show right now.

00:32:00Swell. I'll drive you wherever you want to go. Save your gas buddy. That guy gets in

00:32:06my hair. What kind of a song and dance has he been giving you now? He's nice Joe. Who

00:32:10wouldn't be with a girl waiting for five million dollars to be dropped in her lap?

00:32:13You don't think I'm waiting for that? I'll say you're not. I've sought a lot of women in half in my time

00:32:19but that dame upstairs was no faith. We're exiting. Without saying goodbye. Stick around this morgue long enough

00:32:24goodbye to you with flowers. Come on. So long hop shop. Sorry I have to walk out on you. You're not going

00:32:32anywhere. Yeah that's what you think. Nobody leaves this house. Sheriff's orders. See if that small town

00:32:37sheriff thinks he's booking us on this bill. Don't get tough LaValle. A great LaValle for you. Now look here

00:32:42LaValle. The great LaValle. Listen Jasper you can't expect this girl to risk staying here.

00:32:48Officer. Tell it to the sheriff. Tell it to the sheriff. And how I'll tell him.

00:32:52You can't keep me here. Don't it ain't I? I told you I'd send for you when I wanted you. If anybody else is

00:32:57going to get carried out of this morgue it's not going to be doors. I'm walking around here right now. Running out eh?

00:33:00I said walking constable. Never run to exit. Another crack out of you and I'll jail you for content. If you do I'll have you

00:33:04arrested for impersonating an officer. Now look here LaValle. The great LaValle. Listen Jasper you can't expect this girl to risk staying here.

00:33:12after what's happened. Such a hurry to get away now. I was coming to that. This girl's not Doris Waverly. Though she knows why Doris Waverly was killed. Why you nasty little mouth beast. I'll knock you fatter than a fresh shake. Easy you or I'll slap the bracelets on you. Keep your cuffs in your pocket Dr. Watson. I only do my escape act when I get paid for it. You won't get yourself out of this so easily. Still claiming you're Doris Waverly eh?

00:33:42I won't be talking to you like this by you or anybody else. You've got a pretty sharp tongue young woman. And where do you suppose she gets it you nitwitch?

00:33:50She's her mother all over again. Give me a child.

00:33:57I knew that you were my granddaughter from the merry moment you said I was the most hateful old thing you had ever met. I wouldn't have said that about it. I wanted to see how far you really would go. You went a little farther. I'm sorry. I suppose I had it coming to me but no one else ever had the spunk to do it before.

00:34:25If this is your granddaughter then who's the other girl? An imposter. Brought here by someone who knew she would get my entire state. That doesn't explain those letters that prove that she was Doris Waverly. They're very convincing Jasper. No. They're not here. Top of my stuff huh? Now let's see you pull them out of your hat. You saw me put them back? I was showing them to the doctor while you were upstairs.

00:34:55I suppose those letters just put on their hats and coats and went out for a walk. They might even have been cremated.

00:35:02Are you sure those letters weren't forgeries Felix? Are you, are you accusing me? Oh I was just thinking that someone might have tried to substitute an imposter. So they could get five million instead of one. Mr. Felix. How did you meet the dead girl? I, I am sorry.

00:35:13I advertised for her naturally. So you advertised for her. You didn't by any chance kill that girl. This is intolerable. I who stand before you with an unsullied record. A man whose whole career exemplifies the highest ideals of his profession.

00:35:28Don't forget to bring in Lincoln and Gettysburg. Surely Jasper you do not doubt my integrity. I don't fuss you anymore than I do Denham. No? No, you look too innocent.

00:35:49Dr. Denham did not look so innocent when he was alone with me. He admitted it would be a temptation to have kept that girl from arriving here. Very interesting, Mr. Felix. But it wasn't I who took that cup of poison coffee to the girl's room. Hmm. I was coming to that. What about this Elvira? I'll get her.

00:36:19Hey, your hearing can't be as good as it used to be, Elvira. Come in.

00:36:26The rest of you can go. I'll call when I want you. Go on. Go on. Get out. Get out and scratch all of you. You won't run away. I'm not afraid. And don't touch this young scoundrel too far. Don't you let her out of your sight. I won't. You're a dick.

00:36:46Stop that. Go. Get her out of here. I thought I was a magician, but she's got too much on the ball for me. What's that? Making a human being out of an old buzzard like you. Easy now, Pop. I'm going to solve this murder for you. Pull it out of your hat, eh? Wrong again, Oscar. That's where the little Easter bunnies come from. Okay, Elmer. It's your witness.

00:37:09Sit down. You needn't be afraid if you have nothing to conceal. Oh, it's you. Give me another piece of paper, will you? Thank you very much. Just one.

00:37:38Some backer? Watch very closely. There you are. You see them? I told you the truth. I believe you, Elvira. Sure.

00:38:07But why did you poison the coffee? I didn't do it. Who did, then?

00:38:12I... I don't know. You took the coffee to the girl's room? You hated her, didn't you? Didn't you?

00:38:22Yes. Yes, I hated her. Why shouldn't I?

00:38:25Oh, I knew I'd get it out of her. You want to write your own confession?

00:38:29I'm not confessing anything. She can't confess to something she didn't do.

00:38:33Oh, protecting her. Is that it, Mr. White?

00:38:35Oh, don't be any more of an idiot than you can help, Sheriff.

00:38:39Even if Elvira did poison the coffee.

00:38:41She never choked that girl until she was insensible.

00:38:44And then forced that coffee down her throat to make it look like suicide.

00:38:48Oh, it took a man to do that.

00:38:50How do you know all about this?

00:38:52I don't.

00:38:53But whoever committed the murder made the mistake of placing the cup in her right hand

00:38:57when I know she was left-handed.

00:38:59You know more about this than you're telling.

00:39:02Elvira knows more than she's telling.

00:39:04Who did it?

00:39:05You're shielding him, Elvira.

00:39:08Well, why should I?

00:39:09Because you hated the girl.

00:39:10And whoever did it was accommodating you.

00:39:12And you're protecting it.

00:39:13I know.

00:39:14You made the mistake a moment ago when the sheriff asked you who did it.

00:39:18And you hesitated and thought twice before you said you didn't know.

00:39:22Well, that makes her necessary after the fact.

00:39:25Come on.

00:39:26You're going with me.

00:39:27No.

00:39:28No, I'll tell you.

00:39:29I heard them talking in their room.

00:39:30Heard who?

00:39:31The proctors.

00:39:32She was excited.

00:39:33She told them she was afraid of something she was going to do.

00:39:35Then he told her to shut them up before anyone heard it.

00:39:40She's lying.

00:39:41No.

00:39:41That's a lie.

00:39:42Maybe you'd like to kill her the way you killed that other girl.

00:39:46I had nothing to do with it.

00:39:47I never left my room.

00:39:48What was it your wife was afraid you'd do?

00:39:49I never said a thing.

00:39:51Oh, yes, you did, Laura Proctor.

00:39:52You were talking there as fast as you could.

00:39:54You're making it up, every word of it.

00:39:55Have you forgotten that that room was locked from the inside?

00:39:58Have you forgotten that the balcony outside of your room leads to that room?

00:40:02Oh, you would like to pin it on me, wouldn't you?

00:40:04You've always hated me, ever since I married into your family.

00:40:07That's Laura's misfortune, not mine.

00:40:09That's all for you.

00:40:10Don't you think it might be, accused of murder, not knowing what will happen next?

00:40:15If I had anything to say about it, there'd be plenty happening.

00:40:17Threatening, eh?

00:40:19Arthur, dear, I told you to be careful.

00:40:21Oh, so he did do something that you didn't want him to do.

00:40:25That's all for you, Mr. Proctor.

00:40:27I'll talk to you later.

00:40:28But Mrs. Proctor is going to answer a few questions right now.

00:40:33You're not going to bulldoze my wife?

00:40:35She doesn't know any more about this than I do.

00:40:37Well, that ought to be plenty.

00:40:39Outside, Proctor.

00:40:39Now, you're going to make it a lot easier for yourself if you tell the truth now.

00:40:53You'll never make me talk.

00:40:55A remarkable woman.

00:40:57She won't talk.

00:40:58Just the same, I don't understand how you happen to come here on this particular night.

00:41:15That's what he said, but I didn't know what he meant.

00:41:19Are you sorry, too?

00:41:20What are you talking about?

00:41:24Grandfather.

00:41:25You know, he's a strange boy, isn't he?

00:41:27I really think he'd be a swell person if you could get to know him.

00:41:29Well, don't I rate any attention?

00:41:31You know, I'm not such a bad sort either when you get to know me.

00:41:34He said not to trust you too far.

00:41:37Now, listen, Doris.

00:41:38Ah, that's far enough.

00:41:41You seem to be more afraid of me than anything else in this house.

00:41:44I'm not afraid.

00:41:45I want to take you out of here.

00:41:48Well, I promised him I'd stay.

00:41:50Besides, the show isn't over yet.

00:41:52That's just what I mean.

00:41:53You're in danger here, Doris.

00:41:54I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you.

00:41:57Really?

00:41:58Well, there's nothing small-time about the way you work.

00:42:00Listen, if you think this is an act I'm putting on...

00:42:02Remember your weakness.

00:42:04You'll get over it in the morning.

00:42:05All right.

00:42:06If that's the way you feel about it, I won't bore you any longer.

00:42:13Tom!

00:42:16You're not afraid, are you?

00:42:20Well, I guess I'll play tougher houses than this.

00:42:24Just the same.

00:42:24I'll be back.

00:42:25Stop.

00:42:26I'll be back.

00:42:40Oh, my God.

00:43:10Oh, my God.

00:43:40Oh, my God.

00:43:42Oh, my God.

00:43:44Oh, my God.

00:43:49Oh, my God.

00:43:54Oh, my God.

00:44:24Oh, my God.

00:44:54Oh, my God.

00:45:24Oh, my God.

00:45:31Hey, stop.

00:45:33Oh.

00:45:34Oh, my God.

00:45:43Oh, my God.

00:45:55Oh, my God.

00:45:58Come on, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

00:46:00Get, get knocked your denim quick.

00:46:02Take him in there.

00:46:04Come on, all right.

00:46:06Here, that's it.

00:46:08Now, put him in his chair.

00:46:16Sit down here.

00:46:18There he is.

00:46:20Here, don't waste it.

00:46:22Jasper.

00:46:24There now, you're all right.

00:46:26What happened?

00:46:28You're a detective, you tell me.

00:46:30Well?

00:46:32It wasn't human.

00:46:34Wasn't any face like you ever see before.

00:46:36Must have been the sheriff.

00:46:38What are you talking about?

00:46:40I got in the hall just in time to see it disappear into the dining room.

00:46:42I hollered it outside and took a shot at it.

00:46:44But it just kept on going.

00:46:46Then, then I stopped to look around.

00:46:48And there it was, that face.

00:46:50Looking like something the devil let loose.

00:46:52I saw it, I tell you.

00:46:54I saw it out to grab me.

00:46:56And before I could fire again, it was gone.

00:46:58Go away.

00:47:00What happened to him?

00:47:02Where were you when the building fell on me?

00:47:04Someone evidently tried to murder Mr. Lavelle.

00:47:06Too bad they didn't make a good job of it.

00:47:08I resent that.

00:47:10Yeah, maybe they saw his act.

00:47:12Well, if you think my hands are not quicker than your eyes...

00:47:14Quiet, your nerves.

00:47:16And don't put it in the coffee either.

00:47:18I resent that.

00:47:22Can you remember what happened?

00:47:24I was eating a banana, minding my own business.

00:47:28When I bumped into my darts sticking in the newel post.

00:47:30A darts?

00:47:31What was it doing there?

00:47:32I asked it but I wouldn't talk.

00:47:34So I started downstairs in case it wanted to talk to you.

00:47:38Here it is.

00:47:40I, uh...

00:47:46It's gone.

00:47:48Let's see if you pulled that one out of your hat, Mr. Lavelle.

00:47:52The Great Lavelle.

00:47:54Maybe someone else in this room has a bag of tricks.

00:48:04Someone who took that poison dart from Mr. Lavelle to conceal the evidence of another attempted murder.

00:48:10How did you know it was poison?

00:48:12An Amazon blowgun has no other effectiveness.

00:48:14You'll find that blowgun was stolen from my trophy room.

00:48:17I didn't see it when I left Doris there.

00:48:19Where did you go when you left her?

00:48:21To my room.

00:48:22When I heard the shot, I ran back to the trophy room and Doris wasn't there.

00:48:27I'd gone into the hall.

00:48:28Something frightened me.

00:48:30It must have been your shadow that startled me.

00:48:33That dart was meant for you, Doris.

00:48:35But somebody mucked their cue this time and we're not waiting for another rehearsal.

00:48:38Come on.

00:48:39You stay right here.

00:48:40I thought I told you not to leave her out of your sight.

00:48:42And just where were you during all this, Proctor?

00:48:45In his room.

00:48:46Yes.

00:48:47Arthur never leaves his room.

00:48:49I'm going outside and look around.

00:48:52I want everybody right here when I come back.

00:48:54Abner.

00:48:55Yes, Chief.

00:48:56See if that blowgun is missing from the trophy room.

00:48:59Find it if you have to search every room in the house.

00:49:02But it can't be one of them.

00:49:03That face.

00:49:04Well, go on.

00:49:06Don't anybody leave this room.

00:49:09Wait a minute.

00:49:10Follow Vance.

00:49:11I'm going with you.

00:49:12I don't need your help.

00:49:13Yeah, but if anything happens to you this time, I want a front row seat.

00:49:21Who lifted my gun?

00:49:23Try your back pocket, Sheriff.

00:49:25It's not here.

00:49:26Well, isn't that funny?

00:49:28Well, I, uh...

00:49:29I...

00:49:30That is funny.

00:49:33I got a feeling something else unpleasant is going to happen to you.

00:49:36Not while you're alone to protect me, Sheriff.

00:49:38Oh, you're just a time to go with us, Dean.

00:49:40What's the matter?

00:49:41Are you afraid of the dark?

00:49:42Not while you're where I can keep my eye on you.

00:49:44Thanks, but I'm busy keeping an iron doors if you don't mind.

00:49:47See, I'm worried about that, too.

00:49:49Now, look here, LaValle.

00:49:50Say, listen.

00:49:51Where were your eyes on somebody who was playing with that bean blower upstairs?

00:49:53If you're inferring that I know anything about that...

00:49:55I'm not excusing anybody.

00:49:56I'm only saying that making a play for $5 million is just another way of getting away with murder.

00:50:01Listen, I know why you're doing this brother act for Doris.

00:50:04You knew Jasper's granddaughter would commit a part in his fortune.

00:50:06You've had your eye on it ever since you met her.

00:50:08Why, you...

00:50:12Go on, scat, scat, get out, get out, get out.

00:50:14The hand is quicker than the eye, Mr. LaValle.

00:50:17The great LaValle.

00:50:19Come, Doris.

00:50:20There's something that you and I have got to do.

00:50:22Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.

00:50:38This door hasn't been unlocked in...

00:50:4320 years.

00:50:44My mother.

00:50:45Hm.

00:50:47Took a stubborn old man, uh...

00:50:50a stubborn old man a long time to realize he was wrong.

00:51:16There should be a candle in here somewhere.

00:51:20There's one.

00:51:22Oh, yes.

00:51:34Yes, you're like that.

00:51:38Just like her.

00:51:42I almost wish you hadn't let me see the room.

00:51:45Like this.

00:51:46It's going to be as it used to be, now that you're here.

00:51:57Hand me that candle.

00:51:58Just as I thought.

00:51:59Yes, sir.

00:52:00Someone stole those letters out of this trunk to prove that girl's identity.

00:52:09How do you know they weren't forgery?

00:52:10They disappeared from Mr. Felix's briefcase before you saw them.

00:52:11That's why I made them disappear.

00:52:12You?

00:52:13Yeah, to find out if they were genuine.

00:52:14This convinces it.

00:52:15And I blamed it on your attorney.

00:52:16He's possibly blaming it on Dr. Denham.

00:52:17They keep on accusing one another.

00:52:18Someone is bound to make a slip.

00:52:19You should change jobs with the sheriff.

00:52:20But if you're the only one that has the keys to this room for all those.

00:52:21What's that?

00:52:22I don't know.

00:52:23I don't know.

00:52:24I don't know.

00:52:25I don't know.

00:52:26I don't know.

00:52:27I don't know.

00:52:28I don't know.

00:52:29I don't know.

00:52:30I don't know.

00:52:31I don't know.

00:52:32You're going to know what?

00:52:33I don't know.

00:52:34I don't know.

00:52:35I don't know.

00:52:36I don't know.

00:52:37You're going to know what to do.

00:52:38I don't know.

00:52:39I don't know.

00:52:40I don't know.

00:52:41I don't know what to do with anyone.

00:52:42This convinces it.

00:52:43And I blamed it on your attorney.

00:52:44He's possibly blaming it on Dr. Denham.

00:52:46They keep on accusing one another.

00:52:48Someone is bound to make a slip.

00:52:49You should change jobs with the sheriff.

00:52:51But if you're the only one that has the keys to this room for all those.

00:52:54What's that?

00:52:55Looks like the broken end of the Suzy.

00:52:59Hmm

00:53:02Where are you going? I'm going to find the one piece that's missing from our puzzle

00:53:07Oh, well, why are you weren't by any chance looking for a scissors?

00:53:11I was passing the door when I noticed the lock had been opened. I thought of course you thought it hadn't been opened in 20 years

00:53:18Come on

00:53:29That face why don't you wear a cow balloon or that face if you're scared Abner. What are you doing here? All right, I'll fight

00:53:36What am I doing here?

00:53:48Oh

00:54:13There's no use looking out here any further we can't find anything

00:54:17How do you know how do I know anything I give up sheriff? How do you know anything?

00:54:25Give me that there why I got a notion

00:54:30Hmm when you think so

00:54:35Well sure

00:54:39I'll be hearing from you
