00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00Wait here Slim, I'll be down in two shakes
01:27A visitor, Watson
01:43What, a visitor?
01:45Yes
01:45A young lady who arrived in a covered wagon
01:48A what?
01:50A covered wagon
01:52And what do you find strange about that?
02:01I'm a looking Mr. Sherlock Holmes
02:03You've tracked him down, madam
02:05Won't you come in?
02:10Name's Minnie Mallet, Mr. Holmes
02:12Melrondah, Texas
02:13I'm sure glad to know you
02:15Well, I'm very pleased to know you
02:17With Bison Jack's radio, I believe
02:20Say, how'd you figure that out?
02:23Well, your dress is very charming
02:26But scarcely commonplace in London
02:28Well, I didn't have a chance to change to my store clothes
02:31Came straight here from a hotel
02:33Who's he?
02:35Oh, he?
02:36Oh, no, no, no
02:37That's Dr. Watson
02:38My esteemed partner
02:40Howdy, Doc
02:43How you doing, Ed?
02:49I'm sorry to bother you boys so late
02:51But I got a case for you, Mr. Holmes
02:52You're gonna like this one
02:54Yes, yes, that's all right
02:56Well, why won't you sit down?
02:58No time to sit down
02:59Not with that man in my hotel room
03:01Man in your room?
03:02Well, don't get excited, Doc
03:04It's all right
03:04He's dead
03:05Oh, well, of course, in that case
03:07I...
03:08What, dead?
03:09With his head diced up a little
03:11And my tomahawk laying next to him
03:13Great Scott
03:15Tell me, Miss O'Malley
03:18Who is this gentleman?
03:21Dunno
03:21Never saw the critter before in my life
03:26Walked into my room after the show tonight
03:29And there he was
03:30Stretched out on the floor
03:31Dead
03:32And it was, uh, your tomahawk
03:36Sure was
03:37He was in the show
03:38But left it in my room tonight
03:40Sherlock
03:43You gotta get that hombre's body out of my room
03:46But, Miss O'Malley, one can't just...
03:49Minnie is the name, Doc
03:50Well, Doctor, what...
03:53I mean, Doc is right, Minnie
03:56It's considered illegal to move a body from the place of crime
04:00Well, it certainly is in England
04:01Of course, I don't know what they do in Texas
04:04Well, it was illegal to tomahawk the critter in my room, too, wasn't it?
04:08Well, I dare say it was
04:10But wouldn't it be simpler to notify the police?
04:13Sherlock, I text this way
04:15We call in the sheriff when we want to make a fuss about something
04:17I don't want to make a fuss about this
04:20Just want to get that body out of my room
04:22Pronto
04:23Pronto?
04:24Oh, is that his name?
04:26What language you talking, Doc?
04:28Uh, Minnie, why don't you want to make a fuss about it?
04:31Well, I'm aiming to get myself hitched
04:32Hitched?
04:34Hitched
04:35My hook
04:36Lasso
04:37Tied down
04:38Wedding holy matrimony
04:41Oh
04:41And what would Freddie and his mother kind of say
04:44If they found they got a dead man in my room?
04:46Uh, Freddie, I presume, is, uh, your fiancรฉ
04:49Yeah
04:49The Earl of Worcester
04:51Met him last week when he got tossed off a bronco
04:54Landed in his lap
04:55Oh, I
04:57I, I, I don't think I, I've heard of the title
05:00Well, Freddie calls it something else, too, Doc
05:03But it's spelled
05:04W-O-R-C-E-S-T-E-R
05:07Worcester
05:08Oh, yes, I see, yes
05:10Lord Worcester
05:11Mm-hmm
05:12His mother'd be fit to be hogtied
05:14If I'd gotten any kind of scandal
05:16Uh, Anglo-American relations are involved in this one
05:19Watson, to say nothing of, uh, chivalry
05:21Now, look here, Holmes
05:23I know all about Anglo-American relations and then, uh, chivalry
05:26But, but just the same, I
05:27Doc
05:28Maybe you'd better stay home tonight and leave this to me and Sherlock
05:31Yes, maybe you'd better
05:34It might turn out to be a rather risky business, Watson
05:36Well, I
05:38I, um, excuse me
05:40What, um, what exactly is this?
05:44Hmm?
05:44It's a lasso, Doc
05:46Oh
05:46Well
05:49You throw a half a with it
05:51Well, you throw a half a where?
05:53Well, you don't really throw a half a, Doc
05:55Hmm?
05:56You just lasso them
05:57Like this
06:01Now, really, I
06:03What on earth do you think, young woman, you're doing this?
06:05And then
06:06What is the
06:07But, hey, I
06:08All right, boys, up you go
06:22I refuse point blank to travel in that disgusting conveyor
06:32Oh, don't be so narrow-minded, Watson
06:33Come on, get in
06:34I tell you, I refuse point blank
06:38Well, if that's the way you feel about it, Doc
06:40You'll regret this
06:42Take it away, Slim
06:43Hey, hey
06:45The man, after all, he has his principles
06:47Hey, you mustn't do this to me
06:49What do you think you're doing?
06:50Faster, Watson
06:51Faster
06:52What do you think you're doing?
06:53I can't put up in this
06:54You'll stagger me
06:55Come on, now, Watson
06:56Hurry, hurry, come on
06:57Knees up, Mother Brown
06:58Knees up, Mother Brown
07:00Knees up, Mother Brown
07:01Knees up, Mother
07:01Come on, Watson
07:03Come on
07:04There he is, boys
07:22Just like I left him
07:23He's dead all right, isn't he, Doc?
07:26He couldn't be deader
07:27Yes
07:30Nasty business, this
07:32Whoever did it
07:35Wasn't satisfied to hit him
07:36Just once with that tomahawk
07:37Hit him several times
07:39Looks like a vengeance killing
07:42Sounds like an engine
07:43On the warpath
07:44I take it that this is a weapon
07:49You use in your performance, Minion
07:51Yep
07:52Fellow stands there
07:53With a cigarette in his mouth
07:54And I throw the tomahawk at him
07:56Slice off the cigarette
07:57Bit risky, isn't he?
08:00Not if I don't miss, Doc
08:01Oh, I see
08:03When do you estimate the time of death, Doctor?
08:07Within the last two hours
08:08It's perfectly straightforward
08:10Penetration of the cellar realm
08:11He was hit more than once
08:13Hmm
08:14Aged about 30, I'd say
08:18Occasionally wore glasses
08:21Ah-ha
08:25A wallet
08:27No means of identification in it
08:31Ah, what's this?
08:36Hmm
08:37No doubt about his profession, Watson
08:39Skeleton keys
08:41By Jove, Holmes a burglar
08:44Then that means
08:45Of course he was after some jewels
08:47And he must have had a partner
08:48And then he and his partner
08:49But he's got no jewels
08:50Just some old engine beads
08:52And who'd want them?
08:53Now the problem becomes
08:55Where can we put his body?
08:57Now look here, Holmes
08:58We can't put his body anywhere
09:00That's preposterous
09:00I've got it
09:01We'll put it in the next room
09:02Oh, now look, Holmes
09:04Listen, you've got to listen to me
09:05You can't possibly
09:06Anglo-American relations, Watson
09:08Remember?
09:10Careful, Barton Jack doesn't see
09:12He's got his room down the hall
09:13Ah, thank you, my dear
09:15Oh, now look, Holmes
09:45Relax, Doc
09:56Leave it to Sherlock
09:57My dear child
09:59Holmes is the last person
10:00I'd leave this to
10:01He has no more idea
10:02Of when to stop
10:03Than any man I ever
10:04Number 13, across the passage
10:05Most appropriate
10:06Couldn't think of a better
10:07Come on now, time's a-wasting
10:08Oh
10:09I don't know
10:12All right, boys
10:20All clear
10:20Come along, Holmes
10:27Holmes, what are you doing?
10:29Come along
10:29I'm coming
10:29I'm coming
10:30Psst!
10:32Mr. Holmes
10:38Hello, Tommy
10:39I've got something for you, Mr. Holmes
10:42Something real odd
10:43Really, Tommy?
10:44What is it, eh?
10:45Well, sir, I happened to be passing
10:47One of the rooms tonight
10:48And I looked inside
10:50The door was open?
10:52Not exactly open, sir
10:53In fact, it was closed
10:55If you know what I mean
10:56Ah, yes
10:58I think I do know
10:58What you mean
10:59Well, if a bloke
11:01Wants to become
11:01A famous detective
11:02Like you
11:03Well, really, Tommy
11:04There are more ethical ways
11:05Of becoming a detective
11:06Than looking through keyholes
11:07But, uh
11:07Since you did
11:09What did you see?
11:10Someone's hand
11:11Boy!
11:13Boy!
11:14Yes, ma'am?
11:15There's a mouth
11:16In my room
11:17I'll get a write-up, ma'am
11:19How?
11:20I'm coming right away, ma'am
11:21Madam
11:22Might I suggest
11:23That you try mewing?
11:26Mewing?
11:27Yes, ma'am
11:28Mewing
11:28Huh!
11:30Disgraceful, if you ask me
11:32I pay three shillings for my room
11:34And I must mew like a cat
11:35Well, now, Tommy
11:39Perhaps you'll tell me
11:40About that hand that you saw
11:41Well, sir
11:42All I saw was a hand
11:44Turning a knob on a bedpost
11:45Hand turning a knob on a bedpost
11:48That's very interesting
11:50Thank you very much, Tommy
11:52Thank you
11:52Now, run along and catch that mouse
11:53Thank you, sir
11:54Coming, ma'am
11:55A tomahawk, I think it's called, sir
12:04A native weapon of the North American Indian
12:07Sometimes as a missile
12:08And sometimes as a hand weapon
12:10Certain...
12:11When I want the history of the tomahawk, Wilkins
12:14I'll consult an encyclopedia
12:15Yes?
12:19Oh, come in, Holmes
12:20Dr. Watson
12:21Hello, Inspector
12:22How are you?
12:22Got your noteless trade
12:24Anything interesting on hand?
12:25Yes, murder
12:26I thought you'd be interested
12:27I thought you'd be interested
12:27It's the kind of case you like
12:28Really?
12:29Why?
12:29Well, the chambermaid found him like this
12:31A little while ago
12:32Ah
12:32Oh, poor chap
12:33Yes
12:34He was killed by this tomahawk
12:36It's, um...
12:38A native weapon of the North American Indian
12:40Sometimes used as a missile
12:42Sometimes a hand weapon
12:43That's the most observant of you, restraint
12:45Have you identified the victim?
12:47Oh, yes, of course
12:48There's a burglar
12:49The name of Sly Sam Slythe
12:52Room belongs to Mr. Honeywell here
12:55Mr. Honeywell is a salesman
12:57Women's quarters
12:58Terrible
13:00Terrible
13:00A dead man in my room
13:04I shall lose all my customers
13:06Yes, that must be very awkward for you
13:09Ah, Holmes, don't you think, um...
13:13This is the time for the magnifying glass
13:16A little, um, detection?
13:18Well, Watson
13:19I don't really like interfering in the yard's cases
13:22Besides, it seems plain enough without magnification
13:26Oh, you mean Mr. Honeywell?
13:29What?
13:31I don't know anything about it
13:33Inspector, I'm innocent
13:35Think of my customers all the...
13:37Take it easy, Mr. Honeywell
13:39No one's accusing you of anything
13:41The way I see it is this, Holmes
13:43Sly Sam sometimes worked with a partner
13:45They were on a job here together tonight
13:47They broke into this room
13:49Quarrelled over the loot
13:50And Sly Sam tomahawked them
13:52Who owned the tomahawk?
13:55The tomahawk?
13:58Yes, of course, Lestrade, you know
13:59Sly Sam, Sly's partner
14:02Might have been a Red Indian
14:03Are you coming, Watson?
14:08Let me know if you'll find the owner of the tomahawk
14:11Weren't you, Lestrade?
14:32It was late in the afternoon
14:34And the grey, depressing London weather
14:37Did nothing to help clear up my confusion
14:38Holmes kept silent as we walked
14:41And it wasn't until the rain cleared
14:43And the gas lamps came on
14:45That he started to discuss the case
14:47Yes, but Holmes, what I don't understand is
14:53Who put the tomahawk next to the body?
14:55I did
14:55You did?
14:57Yes
14:57But Holmes, Minnie's our client
14:59So she is
15:01Yes, but we move the body so she won't be involved
15:04And then you implicate her with the tomahawk
15:06But the tomahawk is evidence, my dear fellow
15:09Would you have me to stir evidence?
15:11That's illegal, you know
15:12Well, really?
15:15Yes, but...
15:18Well, you know, Holmes, I'm very surprised at you, you know
15:21Because, after all, Minnie is our client
15:24And it's your duty to protect our clients
15:27Not to turn...
15:27All right, boys
15:32Grab air
15:33Grab air?
15:35Well, what are you talking about?
15:36Reach for the ceiling, Doc
15:38You too, Sherlock
15:39Oh, I believe she means, uh, raise your hands
15:43Oh, well, why didn't you say so?
15:46I'm right disappointed in you, Sherlock
15:48I thought you were a straight shooter
15:50You planted my tomahawk next to that critter's body
15:54So I guess I'll have to shoot you
15:55You got any last wishes, Sherlock?
15:58Well, I...
15:59And now we return to the case of the Texas cowgirl
16:16Quite simple, really
16:17The tomahawk I placed by the body
16:20Was the one I found in the potted plant outside Minnie's room
16:23The murderer undoubtedly hid it there, hoping to recover it later on
16:27You mean he used two tomahawks to kill Slides?
16:30No, just one
16:31He struck, uh, Slides with Minnie's tomahawk
16:33After he'd killed him
16:35Thereby giving the impression that Minnie had done it
16:37Well, someone's trying to frame me
16:39Obviously
16:40Well, who is it?
16:41Could it be somebody in the rodeo?
16:43My no good, Doc
16:45If anyone in the rodeo saw, they saw a bison jack, not me
16:49No one knows I'm a silent partner
16:50Who's that?
16:53Oh, one of Inspector Lestrade's emissaries, I expect
16:56Come in
16:56Oh, Mr. Holmes, Inspector
17:00Inspector Lestrade asked me to give you this message
17:07Oh, thank you, Wilkins
17:14Aha, just as I thought
17:16What is it, Sherlock?
17:17Well, Inspector Lestrade thinks he's found the owner of the other tomahawk
17:20The one that killed Slides
17:22But whose is it?
17:23He doesn't say
17:24Well, come on, boys
17:26Whoever the ombre is, he's the one that's trying to free you
17:37Where's the inspector, Sergeant? In the room with the body?
17:42No, sir, he's in the room with running water, this one, sir
17:44Running water? But they've all got running water
17:47It means cheap running water, Doc
17:49The engine in the rodeo
17:50Oh?
17:51Well, I took your advice, Mr. Holmes
18:05I found an Indian
18:07Chief running water here
18:09Indian to London, honestly
18:11Howdy, Chief
18:12Oh
18:13How do you do?
18:14Oldestrade, has our friend admitted owning the tomahawk?
18:17Well, I don't know
18:18He keeps saying the same thing every time
18:19You watch
18:20Now, I'll ask you once again
18:22Is this your tomahawk?
18:26Go who who who?
18:27He doesn't savvying this, Sheriff
18:28Oh, I
18:31Uh
18:32I don't think I've had the honour
18:33Oh, I beg your pardon?
18:35Inspector Lestrade,
18:37Inspector Lestrade, this is Miss Minnie O'Me
18:39Go who who?
18:40You see
18:41Now, I'll ask you once again
18:42Is this
18:43your Tomahawk?
18:44Do want whom o' Verm or who?
18:46You see
18:47He doesn't savvy this, Sheriff
18:49Oh, I, uh
18:51I don't think I've had the honour
18:52Oh, I beg your pardon
18:53Inspector Lestrade
18:54Inspector Lestrade, this is Miss Minnie O'Malley from Bison Jack's Rodeo.
19:00Oh, then, Miss, perhaps you can help me to make this gentleman understand what I'm trying to ask him.
19:06Sorry, Sheriff, he's a Blackfoot. All I speak is Apache.
19:14Tomahawk, you catch him quick, kill White Chief?
19:24Good morning.
19:54Let's go.
19:56Where are they now?
19:58What?
20:06Here, to take a moment.
20:08What do you want to do that for?
20:15I reckon he thinks you're asking him to scalp you, Sheriff.
20:22Holmes, this is impossible.
20:25When it gets to the point where I am, I think it's a good point.
20:29What is it?
20:29What do you want to do that for?
20:30I reckon he thinks you're asking him to scalp you, Sheriff.
20:34Holmes, this is impossible.
20:36When it gets to the point where I have to learn Blackfoot to talk to a murder suspect, well, rarely.
20:46Well, what's he saying?
20:48I believe, sir. He says the Tomahawk belongs to Big Chief Bison Jack.
20:53When I want suggestions from you, Wilkins, I'll ask for it.
20:57What?
20:58He says that he saw Mr. Bison Jack tonight in the corridor outside room number 13, the room where the body of this thief was found.
21:10He also suggests that perhaps we might...
21:12Bison Jack?
21:15Why, sure enough, this is his Tomahawk.
21:19Then it's not his?
21:21Sherlock, the Vimer Tomahawk slides in my room and then he went over...
21:26In your room, Miss O'Malley?
21:28A slip of the tongue straight. A slip of the tongue.
21:31That's right, Sheriff. A slip of the tongue. Make them all the time.
21:35Because that wouldn't make any sense either.
21:38Wilkins, find this Bison Jack person or whatever they call him and bring him to room 13.
21:47Yes, sir.
21:56A slip of the tongue.
21:57It wasn't my Tomahawk, Sheriff.
21:58Never seen it before.
21:59Well, we've got a slip of the tongue.
22:00No, no, no.
22:01We're all alone.
22:02We've got a slip of the tongue.
22:03We've got a slip of the tongue.
22:04Time to drink.
22:23This ain't my Tomahawk Sheriff. Never seen it before.
22:26Anyhow, Tomahawks all look the same to me.
22:28Mr. Tomahawk, you loaned me from my act tonight. Left mine in my room.
22:32You didn't give his here tomahawk back to me, Minnie.
22:34I certainly did, right after the act.
22:37I don't rightly recollect your giving it back.
22:40Chief Running Water...
22:42Your name.
22:43Chief Running Water said he saw you outside the door of this room tonight, Mr. Jack.
22:48Yeah, I wanted to talk over the act with Minnie.
22:51Did Mr. Mary answer the door?
22:53No.
22:54I went straight back to my room.
22:56Did you get back here tonight before or after, Minnie?
23:00I was reckoned as before.
23:02Leastwise, many weren't in a room when they're not.
23:05Tell me, Lestrade, did any of the guests report missing...
23:09jewellery tonight?
23:11No, why?
23:13Well, they will soon.
23:16But you gave a solution yourself, Lestrade.
23:20The murderer was Sam Sly's partner.
23:23Weren't you, Mr. Honeywell?
23:25I...
23:27I don't know what you're talking about.
23:29You stole Bison Jack's tomahawk to kill your own partner here in this room.
23:35Then you plan to move his body back into Bison Jack's room.
23:39This is ridiculous.
23:41If that's what I planned, why didn't I put the body into Bison Jack's room?
23:46Because Bison Jack had already returned to his room from the rodeo.
23:50In that case, I still wouldn't have left the body in my room.
23:54I could have put it in another room.
23:56Come, come, Mr. Honeywell. Don't let's get academic.
24:00Who placed the jewels in the bedpost?
24:03Yes. Who did place the jewels in the bedpost?
24:06Well, I... I... I... I...
24:12Would your employment with a corset firm stand investigation, Mr. Honeywell?
24:16Yippee! That's the way, Doc.
24:18Well, really, Dr. Watson.
24:19Nice rope on her, Coylet.
24:20He's all yours, Inspector.
24:22Ah...
24:23Ha ha!
24:24Yippee! That's the way, Doc.
24:25Well, really, Dr. Watson.
24:26Nice rope on her, Coylet.
24:27He's all yours, Inspector.
24:32Ah.
24:33Ha ha!
24:34Ha ha!
24:35There we are. Home!
24:36Ah, thank you, Watson.
24:37Bread.
24:38No quietness. It's all yours, Inspector.
24:47Middle of this.
24:49There we are, Holmes.
24:50Ah, thank you, Watson.
24:51Bread.
24:54See, you can really twirl that rope, Doc.
24:56Oh, I don't know. I don't think there's much to it
24:58once you get the hang of it, you know.
25:00Ha, ha, ha.
25:04Say, Sherlock,
25:05how'd you know that Honeywell dragged the body
25:07from his room to my room?
25:10Well, the, uh, tracks in the corridor.
25:12Two heel marks in the carpet.
25:15Quite obvious.
25:17Golly, you could be an engine scout.
25:22Minnie, may I ask you something?
25:25Sure can.
25:26Would you really have shot me?
25:33Well,
25:34I reckon I'd
25:36maybe just wounded you a little.
25:43Yes, do you, boys.
25:44Yes, do you Minnie.
25:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
