00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00What time do you make it now, Harry?
01:23I imagine it's about four.
01:24Yeah. I know these yacht men.
01:27Casual they are.
01:28He's no doubt sipping his third cup of tea about now.
01:31Do you know him, Inspector?
01:48Well, if your identification is correct, every police force west of Athens knows him.
01:54As far as I know, we're the first ones ever to see what he looked like.
02:00We called the yard, sir.
02:02As soon as we saw his name, it's sewn inside the pocket of his jacket.
02:06Must be espionage.
02:08Well, how'd that happen?
02:09Accident, sir. Pure and simple.
02:11A milk cart.
02:12The horse went wild and ran off with the cart.
02:14No driver.
02:15Charged around this corner here.
02:17Caught the bloke by surprise.
02:19Well, that's a commonplace end to a romantic career, if you like.
02:22This is all he had in his person, sir.
02:25A hundred pounds, this French coin, and a note.
02:29Note, eh?
02:30For a glance at the coin and a cheery good day, the Queen of Lambeth will send you on your way.
02:39Arrive 8 a.m. Wednesday.
02:41That's this morning.
02:42Any idea what it means, sir?
02:44No.
02:44You have enough time to find out.
02:46There may still be time.
02:47221 B Baker Street and hurry.
02:49Hurry.
02:53Hurry.
02:54Hurry.
02:55Hurry.
02:55Hurry.
02:55Hurry.
02:55Hurry.
02:55Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:56Hurry.
02:57Hurry.
02:57Hurry.
02:57Hurry.

02:57Hurry.

02:58Hurry.
02:58Hurry.
02:59Hurry.
03:00Hurry.
03:01Hurry.
03:02Hurry.
03:03Hurry.
03:04Hurry.
03:05Of course, we've known for some time at the yard that there's been a leakage in the foreign
03:08office.
03:09What with Frederick Martinez in England, there must be some connection if only we knew what we
03:13had stumbled on.
03:15Holmes.
03:16Hmm?
03:17Holmes, are you awake?
03:18Hmm.
03:19Barely little strange.
03:20It's a ghastly hour, you know.
03:23What on earth can it possibly mean?
03:25Oh, the Queen of Lambeth?
03:26Oh, the Queen of Lambeth?
03:27Oh, that's that pearly queen who's there so often with the organ grinder.
03:30It merely means to show the coin for identification and receive further instructions from her.
03:35But surely they can't possibly operate in the open like that?
03:39Yes.
03:40Quite likely, Watson.
03:41And a clever way to operate.
03:45Right under the noses of Scotland Yard.
03:48Well, I must go and dress if I were to keep my appointment in Lambeth Square.
03:52What a ghastly hour.
03:54Holmes arrived in the square at the prescribed time, dropped the coin in the hat and flashed
04:06the French coin with the other hand.
04:08The woman told Holmes to proceed to Westminster Bridge and there to pick up a cane from a man.
04:26Near the centre of the bridge, his instructions took meaning.
04:29To avoid suspicion, Holmes drove on, then walked back to the sea.
04:34The man was still there and Holmes approached him cautiously.
04:38It was a moment of chance and it worked.
04:41What good is a cane?
04:42There you are, Lestrade.
04:43And down before breakfast, too.
04:44On top of the highest tower of all, you can buy a souvenir with your coin.
04:57Tomorrow morning, tell the vendor you have no money smaller than the coin.
05:00On top of the highest tower of all.
05:03Do you suppose they're after something in the Tower of London?
05:06It's a little after eight now, Watson.
05:08What's the earliest train to Dover?
05:10Dover?
05:11Yes, of course, Watson.
05:12The note.
05:13We must be in France tomorrow morning.
05:15France?
05:16The highest tower of...
05:18You mean the steel tower of Monsieur Eiffel in Paris?
05:22Is that what you mean then?
05:23Certainly, Watson.
05:24Are you coming with us, Lestrade?
05:26Well, I can't enter France without permission from the yard.
05:30I'll have to consult the superintendent.
05:32We'll meet you at the station in an hour.
05:34Now, hurry.
05:35If we miss this boat, we miss our appointment.
05:56We've got to go to the surety.
06:05The superintendent gave me strict instructions.
06:08I wasn't to proceed an inch without getting a French detective to work with us.
06:11Well, we're already late, Lestrade.
06:13We must proceed directly to the tower.
06:15Seems as if we've been traveling for days.
06:18Jerking trains, bouncing carriages.
06:23That horrible, horrible rolling boat.
06:27Well, you're not finished traveling yet, Lestrade.
06:30But at least your next move will be in a different direction.
06:33Look out of the window.
06:53Shall we get started?
07:09Holmes, do you think it's necessary for all of us to go?
07:13Well, perhaps you're right, Lestrade.
07:15We'll go on up and you keep guard down here.
07:23Holmes, do you see?
07:26Oh, I guess, have to go on.
07:28No, I guess.
07:29No, you're right.
07:30We'll go on up and you need some time.
07:31No, you're right, Lestrade.
07:32And now, you have to go on up and you have to go on up.
07:33But, what?
07:34Come on up and you'll have to goโ€ฆ
07:35Let's go on up and you'll have to go on up.
07:36That's when I'm going to go on up and you have to go on to the north side.
07:37And you've got to go.
07:38Oh, I'm going to go on up and this way?
07:39Now, you're going to go on up and you have to go up and get out and you can think about that.
07:40What?
07:41You'll have to go for that.
07:42I'm going to go.
07:43There's going to go on the road.
07:44Souvenirs? Souvenirs de Paris? Souvenirs?
08:14Souvenirs de Paris?
08:44Souvenirs de Paris?
08:49Souvenirs?
08:51Souvenirs de Paris?
08:53Excuse me.
08:54Oui, monsieur, un souvenir?
08:57Ah, but, uh, I'm afraid I have no change.
09:02Give me the coin.
09:13What about my souvenir?
09:15We've been informed that Martinez was killed.
09:19Whoever you are, you're mixing in something that's none of your business.
09:22Give me the coin.
09:29Perhaps we should retire to somewhere more private.
09:31This will do.
09:32Give it to me.
09:34Don't think I won't use this.
09:37That coin is worth half a million pounds to us,
09:40and even more to the government that ordered it.
09:47Open it.
09:48See if it's the right one.
10:01That's fine.
10:02That's fine.
10:03That's fine.
10:07The End
10:37The End
11:07The End
11:37No parley, Francie
11:40You speak English
11:42I wondered if this were yours
11:44No, I haven't lost anything
11:46My lucky day
11:48Au revoir
11:51Malivoye, mademoiselle
11:54The Strait
12:07The Strait, we've got to search every inch of the ground this side of the tower
12:10There's a chance no one's found it
12:12What are we looking for?
12:13The coin, the Strait
12:15I had no time to explain now
12:16But I had to throw it down from the tower up there
12:18The coin?
12:20You, you
12:21Mademoiselle!
12:24Strait!
12:25The Strait!
12:27Mademoiselle!
12:29Mademoiselle!
12:30Mademoiselle!
12:42Mr.
12:44Oh, a young lady
12:46A girl
12:47She found the coin right here
12:50Well, where'd she go?
12:51I've no idea. All I know is she's got the coin and we've no case without it
13:06And now we return to the case of the Eiffel Tower
13:21Well, we haven't got a single clue. Well, keep looking
13:28It's going to be a lot of trouble if I don't report to the surety soon
13:34There's no time for that now, Lestrade. You're sure she was a blonde?
13:39Yes, of course she was a blonde
13:41She had nice red cheeks, very healthy looking
13:44I remember her lips were red too
13:47Yes, she dressed fancy
13:50Yeah, very fancy
13:52Why in heaven's name didn't you mention that before?
13:55What?
13:56Well, the clothes. A blonde, red cheeks, red lips, obviously who uses rouge
14:01Probably an actress or an entertainer of some kind
14:03Here, Watson, how do you stop this fellow?
14:05Stop him?
14:06Yes, in this language
14:07Uh, Monsieur, pardonnez-moi
14:20Well, I'll try and...
14:33All right.
14:35Sorry, Hanson.
14:44Hey, Holmes!
14:46What?
14:48That's her.
14:50Hmm. Well, this lady looks as though we're going to spend an evening in Montmartre.
14:54I say to Spade.
14:57Are you sure of that's a girl?
15:00Quite sure.
15:03One of these posters.
15:20Stay close to them.
15:22You get the men together and tell them to be ready.
15:25There'll be no tricks this time.
15:33Every flower, every flower, every papillon and memory.
15:37A portรฉ par la brise, ce murmure me grise.
15:44Si je ferme les yeux, ce concert merveilleux.
15:49Faire vivre un instant mes beaux rรชves d'antan.
15:57Dans un vaporeux tourbillon, je perds doucement la raison.
16:06Ma robe s'envole au rythme langoureux.
16:13J'รฉcoute en tremblant ton aveugle.
16:17J'entends battre plus fort ton cล“ur.
16:21Ta lรจvre me frรดle.
16:24Je croise au bonheur.
16:28Nous valsons dans le bleu, nous chantons tous les deux.
16:37La chanson sans parole, douce et tendre un peu folle.
16:44La chanson des serments, des baisers enivrants.
16:48Et je vis jusqu'au jour le beau rรชve d'amour.
17:03Applaudissements
17:12D'Estreide, are you sure that's the girl?
17:14Well, I'll send a message to you and ask me to the table.
17:17Gerson.

17:32those two men over there near the entrance they're the two who held us up in
17:37the tower how'd they get here well we were so intent on our search we took no
17:42precautions against being followed well anyway they couldn't possibly know who's
17:46got the coin could they help it's doubtful Watson they would have acted
17:51before if they had I suggest that we leave here and contact the singer later

18:02mr. Holmes yes I have taken the trouble of learning your identity I have a
18:27proposition yes you tell me where the coin is and I'll pay you 50,000
18:32pounds in addition to your safety of course no idea at all where it is my

20:22What are we going to do, Holmes?
20:35Holmes?
20:36Well, first we order another bottle of champagne.
20:39Champagne?
20:40Yes, and then we get in a very festive mood
20:41and invite a party of girls to the table.
20:44What?
20:46Well, don't look so shocked.
20:48That's the only way in which we can encourage the singer
20:50to come here and have a word with us.
20:51Now, Watson, have you seen those girls in there?
20:56I want you to go and invite them to the table.
21:00Who, me?
21:01Yes, they'll like you, Watson.
21:03You blush.
21:05Yes, but I say Holmes.
21:07Can-can girls.
21:10Dancers.
21:11French dancers.
21:13Well, really, Holmes, I mean...
21:15It's our only chance, Watson.
21:17For England.
21:18Well...
21:19England.
21:20Well...
21:21England.
21:30I just don't know what I'm going to write in my report.
21:35I don't dare tell the superintendent the real details of this case.
21:38I do.
21:39I don't know.
21:41Oh, my dear.
21:42Oh, my dear.
21:43Please, I am.
21:47I can't pull it down.
21:48I can't put it down.
21:51Won't you join us, Mademoiselle?
21:53Seems a little crowded already.
21:55Haven't I seen you before somewhere?
21:58Uh, yes.
21:59I was the fellow um...
22:01It was me.
22:02You, you...
22:03Please sit down.
22:09Mr. Millimar, I must warn you that your life is in very grave danger.
22:13You're original, anyway.
22:15Whatever I say, I want you to smile and pretend that we're just having a perfectly informal chat.
22:20You see, we're being watched. No, no, don't look round now.
22:23Is this some sort of a joke?
22:25I'm afraid it isn't.
22:27I believe that you found a coin near the Eiffel Tower this afternoon.
22:31That's where I saw him.
22:33Well, I dropped that coin, and it is of the utmost importance that I get it back.
22:37And I'm quite prepared to pay you for it.
22:39Why?
22:40Well, I can't explain now, but that is Inspector Lestrade from Scotland Yard.
22:45And that coin is very important to him in the solving of a case.
22:48Scotland Yard?
22:50Yes, it's the same thing as a surety.
22:53I'm not too sure what you're talking about, but if it's the coin you want so badly, I'll give it to you.
22:58Here.
23:00Why, that's it.
23:02They'll give it to me.
23:03Be careful, Lestrade.
23:04Don't forget they're watching.
23:06Well, we've got the coin.
23:09They've got us.
23:11Tell me, mademoiselle, how long would it take for the police to get here from headquarters?
23:16The few times they came here, they seem to come very quickly.
23:19Good.
23:20Well, now we send for them.
23:21How?
23:22Well, you heard what he said, there are men all over the street.
23:25But not many in here.
23:27We'll start a riot.
23:28A what?
23:29Riot.
23:30I see.
23:31And the riot brings the police.
23:34Yes, if we can keep it up long enough.
23:36Excuse me, mademoiselle.
23:39All my life I've wanted to do something like this, Holmes.
23:46But, of course, at home it was impossible.
23:48Excuse me, mademoiselle.
24:02Excuse me, mademoiselle.
24:04Excuse me, mademoiselle.
24:09Well, while we're waiting for the van, they might give us a bottle of champagne.
24:35Holmes.
24:37Holmes, how in the name of fortune we're going to get out of this?
24:41Very simply, Lestrade.
24:42You must contact the Sรปretรฉ and explain the whole situation.
24:46After all, you were going to do it in the first place, weren't you?
24:49I don't know how I'm going to explain all this in my report to Scotland Yard.
24:55Maybe I can join the Foreign Legion and never go back.
25:00That would do it, wouldn't it?
25:02Go back!
25:04Go, get ready!
25:09Go!
25:11Go, get ready!
25:12Go, hop!
25:13All my news!
25:15I don't know
