00:00The
00:30Young man, young man!
01:00You ever know anything about these contraptions?
01:07I'm afraid not very much.
01:09What seems to be the trouble?
01:10Well, if I knew to, it just won't go.
01:13Oh, well, I suppose it serves me right for going out without my chauffeur.
01:17Is there a garage in this neighborhood?
01:19The nearest one's about three blocks.
01:21Oh, oh!
01:23Here you are.
01:24Have to send a mechanic.
01:26Well, that's all right.
01:28I'll have them send one over.
01:30My, what a nice young man you are!
01:32And do hurry, my son will be so worried.
01:36Yes, ma'am.
01:37Okay, Charlie, hop to it.
01:43Okay, Charlie, hop to it.
01:50Let's go.
01:51Let's go.
01:52Let's go.
01:53Let's go.
01:54Let's go.
01:55Let's go.
01:56Let's go.
01:57Let's go.
01:58Let's go.
02:02I don't know.
02:32Jim Lacey, here's a flash.
02:40Some smart guy cuts a main burglar alarm cable in a hole at 3rd and Lester
02:42and pops off every bell in the district.
02:45Then when the cops are running around in circles,
02:46he blows the Phelps jewelry safe and grabs a famous diamond necklace
02:49called the Zyrenist Tears.
03:02We've got to recover that necklace, Ridgway.
03:05I want you to put your best men on this case.
03:07Well, it's hardly my case.
03:09Of course, if I can do anything...
03:11It's your company's case to the extent of $100,000.
03:15That's the amount you'll have to pay us if we don't recover.
03:18Mr. Phelps, you were notified a month ago
03:20that your policy would not be renewed.
03:23Why, there must be some misunderstanding.
03:26My check for this year's premium was accepted, endorsed by your firm, and paid.
03:32When was this policy renewed?
03:34I think it was about a month ago when you were in Boston.
03:37Yes, I'm sure it was.
03:38I took the liberty of...
03:39You took the liberty?
03:41Why, yes.
03:41The policy had been in force a number of years,
03:43and I received a renewal check, so automatically I...
03:45That will be all, Miss Harrison.
03:49Very well, Mr. Phelps.
03:50In the event recovery of this necklace is not affected,
03:53your claims will be promptly paid.
03:55Well, of course.
04:03Mr. Ridgway, may I suggest that you leave this case
04:06entirely in the hands of the police?
04:08Well, Lieutenant Eckhart, I'm glad to see
04:10that you're cooperating with us in your usual efficient manner.
04:13However, I'm reserving the right to engage my own investigator.
04:17Listen, Ridgway,
04:18you've paid Barry Drake thousands of dollars
04:21for the return of stolen property
04:22that the department could have recovered at no cost to you.
04:25Well, I admit he's been very successful.
04:27But he's just as much a crook as the crooks he does business with.
04:30And one of these days we'll prove it.
04:36Of course, I've been trying to find you all day.
04:38I wanted to tell you...
04:39I know, I know.
04:40The Tsarina's tears have been stolen.
04:41How did you know?
04:43Maybe I was around when it happened.
04:45Was it?
04:45Or maybe I read it in the morning paper.
04:48You know who done it?
04:50I'm not quite sure, but I have a pretty good idea.
04:53Well, you're sure tough to find.
04:55There's a girl who's been trying to get you on the phone all day.
04:57A girl?
04:58Yeah.
04:59A Miss Harrison.
05:01Dale Harrison.
05:02Harrison.
05:04Harrison.
05:04I don't know any Dale Harrison.
05:06Was she good-looking?
05:07Well, how do I know?
05:10I only talked to her on the phone.
05:11But she had a good-looking voice.
05:13Yeah?
05:18All right.
05:19Get her on the phone for me.
05:20Boss, could you let me have another nickel?
05:36Apparently, I can't trust you with money, Whitehouse.
05:38I'm afraid I'll have to make that call myself.
05:40Yes, sir.
05:56Yes, sir.
05:58I'll take it.
06:17I'll take it.
06:19Hello.
06:20Hello, Barry.
06:21Hello.
06:21I've been trying to locate you.
06:23Yes, did you read the papers about the robbery?
06:26Yeah, well, I'm in a spot.
06:29Somebody pulled a boner.
06:31Mr. Ridgway, I never talk business when I...
06:33Now, we want that necklace back and no questions asked.
06:36There's $5,000 in it for you.
06:39Did you say $10,000?
06:41What?
06:42Just a minute while I entertain your proposition.
06:45Well, $10,000 is all right.
06:48But get it back.
06:50I accept.
06:51As a matter of fact, I am already working on the case.
06:54You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Ridgway.
06:56This arena's tears will be on your hands before you know it.
07:00Okay.
07:02Are you a dreamer in love with love?
07:08Have you the idea of your dream?
07:12Hey, uh, fella.
07:14You're supposed to be looking at me, not that singer out there.
07:18Why don't you all be interested?
07:19Strictly professional, Dolly.
07:21Oh, she's old enough to be your mother.
07:24Let's dream together
07:29One dream for two
07:37Are you a dreamer the same as I?
07:45Could you excuse me for a minute?
07:47What, again?
07:48A blue dreamer the same as I?
07:53Is there a moment for you to love?
07:55Hello, Charlie.
07:57Hello, Drake.
07:57How are you?
07:58You mind?
07:59No, not at all.
08:01A drink?
08:03Thanks.
08:04Uh, Gus.
08:05Are you a dreamer in love with love?
08:13Have you the idea you're dreaming of?
08:20Then there's but one thing we both should do
08:26Let's dream together
08:32One dream for two
08:39Lily, how are you?
08:49Oh, why, hello, Mr. Drake.
08:52Do you know, uh, Mr. Cooper?
08:55No, I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
08:58How do you do, Miss, uh...
08:59Uh, Lamont.
09:00Lily Lamont.
09:01Sit down, Lily.
09:02Sit down.
09:03I, uh, enjoyed your number very much, Miss Lamont.
09:06Oh, that's very sweet of you.
09:08Oh, Lily's a great girl.
09:10Oh, uh, by the way, I saw you flirting with that bald-headed chap out there.
09:16Remember what you promised me last time?
09:18No more two-timing.
09:22Well, I think I'll leave you two to get acquainted.
09:26Now, remember, Lily, no more trifling.
09:32Hey, what is this?
09:36Why, I don't even know what he was talking about.
09:39Oh, you don't even know what he was talking about, huh?
09:41Listen, if you're running around with that Drake guy...
09:43Charlie, please.
09:45I've never been out with Drake in my life.
09:47The last time I saw him was two years ago.
09:50He was on a case I was mixed up in.
09:52Yeah?
09:52Listen, you take care of the check, and I'll see you later.
10:33I'll see you later.
11:03I'll see you later.
11:33Have you looked under the wallpaper yet?
11:45I was, uh, coming to that.
11:47Come on, Charlie, I give up.
11:49Where is it?
11:50You're hardly in a position to be asking questions, are you?
11:53Technically, no.
11:55But you can't use that thing.
11:57It makes too much noise.
11:59Besides, uh, murder is a much tougher rap than safe-blowing.
12:02Safe-blowing?
12:03Come on, now, I know you've got the necklace, and you know that you can't get more than four or five grand for it.
12:07I'm getting ten for returning it.
12:09I'll split with you, and no questions asked.
12:12Very interesting.
12:13But even if I knew what you were talking about, I'm not doing business with coppers.
12:17Now, listen, Charlie.
12:23Keep that up, and Lily's going to collect your insurance.
12:26Come on, now.
12:27Where is it?
12:29Well, you seem to be running the show now.
12:33Supposing you tell me.
12:36Well, let's review the case.
12:39Famous necklace stolen.
12:41Chief suspects Lily Lamont and Charlie Cooper.
12:44Railroad tickets found on premises indicate plans for sudden flight.
12:48Train leaves Union Station at 10.40 p.m.
12:51Was somebody planning a little trip?
12:54Sherlock, you amazed me.
12:56The case is practically solved.
12:58Except for the recovery of the neck.
13:02I wonder where it could be.
13:18Well, your sense of the artistic surprises me, Charlie.
13:23Or was that Lily's idea?
13:26Buried treasure, eh?
13:36The case is solved.
13:38Someday you're not going to be so lucky.
13:40Now, you shouldn't go around frightening people like that, Charlie.
13:43I'm afraid I'll have to put you where you can't do any harm.
13:47Will you step into my office, Mr. Cooper?
13:49Good luck.
13:54And don't miss the 10.40 train.
14:11What are you doing here?
14:12I thought I fired you.
14:14Yes, sir.
14:17I'll do.
14:21Well, Ridgeway, you won't need Drake on the false case.
14:24We got a lead and expect to be...
14:26Make an arrest within the next 24 hours, but you're a little late.
14:29Barry Drake has recovered the necklace and is on his way here with it.
14:33No.
14:34Yes.
14:34How are you, Mr. Ridgeway?
14:37Hello, Barry.
14:38Have you got it?
14:39Did I ever let you down?
14:40Where did you find the necklace?
14:42Salvaged it.
14:43It was raised from a sunken chest.
14:45Guarded by a beautiful murky.
14:48Pretty smart, aren't you?
14:50Maybe you can tell us how you always manage to find stolen property so quickly.
14:54Sure.
14:55I just stop and figure...
14:57Now, where would Lieutenant Eckert look for him?
15:00Then I look somewhere else.
15:03Okay, funny man.
15:04But one of these days, you'll forget the cover-up and we're going to hang it on you.
15:07Now, if you don't mind, I've got to catch a train.
15:10And now, may I have the necklace?
15:12May I have my feet?
15:14Oh, the feet?
15:15Oh, yes, yes, to be sure.
15:18Pretty little thing, isn't it?
15:20I'll take charge of it.
15:25That's right.
15:30And now, if you'll excuse me, I have guests waiting and all that sort of thing.
15:34You understand?
15:35Thank you, and good night.
15:38Good night.
15:40Well, that's that.
15:41Ten grand.
15:43For what?
15:43I tell you, Ridgway, someday I'm going to hang...
15:45David, Lieutenant, if you don't mind, I've got to catch a train.
15:51What's this?
15:52It's my resignation.
15:53Resignation, indeed.
15:55Well, you know I'm leaving for New York.
15:57Who do you expect is going to look after things?
15:59You stay right here and see that nothing happens.
16:01And don't sign any more policy.
16:08I'll get that great guy if it's the last thing I do.
16:11He's an out-and-out crook.
16:12I agree with you, Lieutenant.
16:15Ten thousand dollars.
16:17Oh, Mr. Phelps.
16:19So, you recovered the necklace?
16:20Of course we recovered it.
16:24That is, it was recovered.
16:27What is this, a joke?
16:28Why, it's the Tsarina's tears, ain't it?
16:33It's a lot of paste, a rank imitation.
16:36What?
16:37Where did you get that thing?
16:39Why, Barry Drake brought it.
16:40He...
16:40Yeah, Barry Drake.
16:42I told you he'd pulled something like this.
16:44He keeps the real thing and rings in a phony.
16:48Ten thousand dollars.
16:50I've been waiting for this.
16:53Where's Ridgway?
16:54He just left for New York.
16:55He's on his way to the station.
16:56I've got to catch him.
16:57He...
16:58He's...
16:59Wait.
17:02Evening, lady.
17:03Remember me?
17:05I, uh, can't place your face.
17:07But your manner is very fomentious.
17:09Well, I'm the fellow who brought you here for a good time.
17:12And now I've got the rest of the evening to prove.
17:15Telephone call for you, Mr. Drake.
17:16Oh, uh, thank you.
17:18Just a moment.
17:20You see?
17:24I think of everything.
17:27Hello?
17:28That copper, Eckhart.
17:29He just left, boss.
17:30He's looking to pick you up.
17:32That necklace you were towing is spurious.
17:34What are you talking about?
17:36It's a phony and they think you've done it.
17:38What'll I do, boss?
17:39The heat's on.
17:40Wait a second, buddy.
17:44Meet me at the Union Station as soon as you can.
17:46Step on it.
17:47What now, little man?
17:48A sleeper jumped this time?
17:49I'll be right back.
17:51Wait for me, will you?
17:51Oh, sure.
17:52I won't budge from the spot.
17:54Except to eat and sleep.
17:55Sorry.
17:56Sorry.
17:57Pardon me.
18:08May I have a stand?
18:17Here I am, boss.
18:18Where are we lambing it?
18:19We're not lambing.
18:20We're looking for someone.
18:22You love the overnight limited, madam.
18:24Air condition throughout.
18:25No dirt, no noise.
18:26It's like being wafted on a zipper.
18:28Never mind the sales talk.
18:29I don't want to buy the train.
18:30Very well.
18:32Very well.
18:34There she is.
18:35At the last window.
18:43Excuse me.
18:43But that lady who just left here, we're going to the same place.
18:47Does she know it?
18:48Not yet, but she will.
18:51Two tickets to, uh, to, uh...
18:53Cincinnati?
18:54That's right.
18:57Upper or lower?
18:58Two lowers.
18:59My keeper can't stand the altitude.
19:05Just a minute, lady.
19:06I've got to catch the New Yorker.
19:07I'm sorry.
19:08She just left.
19:09Three minutes ago.
19:10Oh.
19:17Uh, treat yourself to another murder.
19:19Hey, want to know who hid the body in the trunk?
19:22The phony French detective.
19:24I think you're all meany.
19:31Strike forward.
19:34Oh, why does...
19:35Oh, I beg your pardon.
19:38What do you want, lady?
19:39I've got to stop that man.
19:40What man?
19:40Barry Drake.
19:41Who's Barry Drake?
19:42He's a crook.
19:43He's wanted by the police.
19:44I don't know anything about that, lady.
19:45Oh, I've got to stop.
19:46Well, you can't go in there without a ticket.
19:54Those two men.
19:55The one with the tuxedo.
19:56I want a ticket to the same place.
19:57Where are they going?
19:58What do you think I am?
19:59A tattletale?
19:59Oh, please, please.
20:00It's very important.
20:01He, uh, he's my husband.
20:03He's running away from me.
20:04Oh, your husband?
20:05Oh, oh, dear.
20:06Well, that's different.
20:07You're...
20:07Oh, you're a brute.

20:31You're a great help.
20:33We're liable to end up in Florida or even Alaska.
20:36What color would you like, boss?
20:38Oh, or blue, or a gray, or...
20:42I'll put these things in your boy.
20:46One melted cheese sandwich on toast.
20:49One double old-fashioned.

30:11May I change your linen.
30:13Oh all right.
30:14You know Charlie I think.
30:22You know Charlie I think.
30:44Don't.
31:01Three oh eight here we are sir.
31:03Just a moment, sir, I have a little gadget.
31:33Well, if it isn't little Miss Operator No. 13, isn't that a pretty sight?
31:40Looks like the hot seat.
31:44Well, come on, honey, tell Papa what happened.
31:50That dialect is terrible.
31:52That's the trouble with them foreigners.
31:57I'm sorry, we can't understand a word you're saying.
32:01Oh, oh, pardon me, I'm sorry.
32:07If you think this is funny.
32:09Oh, my dear, it looks like we miss connections.
32:11Come on, let's go.
32:12No, you're not going to leave me here like this.
32:14Why not? That's the way we found you.
32:15If you don't untie me, I'll scream.
32:17I'll take care of that.
32:18No, wait, wait, I have valuable information.
32:20If you'll untie me, I'll let you in on it.
32:22Now, please, Miss, Miss, whatever your name is, don't start that again.
32:25Oh, but I have information, honestly, I have.
32:27Cut me loose and I'll tell you.
32:30White House, shall we take a chance?
32:32You always have.
32:35All right, let's have it.
32:39Well, after they tied me up, the man made a phone call.
32:42Did you get the number?
32:44Main 8451.
32:46Or was it 8514?
32:49Higher up again, Whitey.
32:50No, wait, I remember, it was 8541.
32:53You're sure of that?
32:54Yes.
32:55And he said he'd be right over.
32:57Get that address.
33:03Information.
33:04Uh, this is official, 23.
33:06I'd like the street address at Main 8541.
33:12201 West 3rd Street?
33:13Thanks.
33:14201 West 3rd Street.
33:16Why, that's Mondoom's place.
33:18Come on.
33:19Whoa, what about her?
33:26White House, draw a bath.
33:29What?
33:30For the lady.
33:50Where are we going?
33:51You're not going anywhere.
33:52Huh?
33:53You're a cute kid.
33:54But you're a very phony reporter, and frankly, I...
33:57I don't want you around.
33:58Mr. Drake, the bath is drawn, sir.
34:03Barry!
34:04Barry, what are you doing?
34:06Saying goodbye.
34:07What's this?
34:08I'd rather have it end like this and treasure you as a beautiful memory.
34:12But...
34:13You big brute, let me down!
34:15It's a pleasure!
34:19Just a moment, sir.
34:27I'll get even with you if it's the last thing I do.
34:38Cooper, that necklace is too hard for me.
34:39I can't handle it.
34:40I won't handle it.
34:41Listen, you.
34:42Charlie, don't.
34:43You'll only get yourself in a jam.
34:45And what do you think we're in now?
34:46Well, can't we send the necklace back or...
34:49Lose it or...
34:50Oh!
34:51Don't you know any place we can get rid of it?
34:52Not in this town.
34:55About your only chance is Louis-Andre in New Orleans.
34:58If I were you, I wouldn't lose any time getting there.
35:01Louis-Andre, what?
35:02He doesn't know me.
35:03I've never done business with him.
35:04I'll give you a card of introduction to him.
35:08You'll get your passports, and you can lend them to Atlanta.
35:14Oh!
35:23Speak of the devil.
35:25What's in there?
35:26The store room.
35:27Slip in there, both of you, let us go.
35:35You better take this.
35:36Hide it on you somewhere.
35:38Good day, sir.
35:43Mr. Mondoon, isn't it?
35:44Yes, what can I do for you?
35:45You can tell me where Charlie Cooper is.
35:47Charlie Cooper?
35:49I don't believe I know the gentleman.
35:51He's the fellow who telephoned you a little while ago.
35:53Remember?
35:54I think you've made a mistake, Mr.
35:57You've made the mistake.
35:58Drake's the name, Barry Drake.
36:00Now listen, I'm getting just a little...
36:01I tell you, Drake, I haven't got that necklace.
36:02I wouldn't touch it with asbestos gloves, that's the truth.
36:05Now look, Mondoon, I've got enough on you to hang you,
36:07but I'm only interested in what directly concerns me.
36:10I'm giving you a chance to cooperate.
36:15Louis Andre, New Orleans.
36:19This will introduce two friends of mine who...
36:22Two friends, eh?
36:24That wouldn't be Charlie and Lily heading south for their health, would it?
36:27Let's get out of here.
36:31How are they, or do I have to look for them?
36:32I've been telling you I...
36:33Quit stalling, Mondoon.
36:35I don't know.
36:37But then you haven't seen Charlie.
36:45Just a minute, Drake.
36:52Remember me?
36:53Hold on, kiddies.
37:02And this ain't no pop gun.
37:04Come on, get out.
37:07Come on now, Drake.
37:08I want that necklace.
37:09It so happens the man who has it just went through the alley door.
37:12You don't mean to tell me.
37:13I believe you, Barry.
37:14Of course you do, Miss Houston.
37:16Barry, what are you trying to do?
37:22You always wanted to be close to me.
37:23Now's your chance.
37:30You'll get life with this.
37:49Boss, they went that way.
37:51But this is their car.
37:52Let's go.
37:53Let's go.
37:53Let's go.
37:53Let's go.
38:01That was a close one.
38:12Yeah.
38:12Yeah.
38:13Better let me take charge of that necklace now.
38:15But I haven't got it.
38:16What?
38:17It's in the suitcase.
38:18The suitcase?
38:19In the car.
38:20Oh, now we gotta chase them.
38:23THE END
38:53Ha ha! Dinner is served!
39:11I thought you filled a tank.
39:14So busy trying to get rid of me at a gas station that you forgot to get gas.
39:18Ha ha ha! Serves you right.
39:20Mr. Drake, if there ever was the time, this is the place and the girl.
39:25Shut up before I say yes.
39:27At this rate, we'll get to New Orleans in about two years, maybe.
39:31Ah, New Orleans.
39:35Before you develop into a soapbox, Orator,
39:38suppose you get on your horse and see if you can find us some gas.
39:40And the hamburgers.
39:50Look, there must be a house over there where that smoke is.
39:53Maybe they got gas.
39:54Let's go and see.
39:56And leave me alone here in this jungle.
39:58Oh, no.
39:58Hello?
40:03Hello?
40:12Hello?
40:15Hello?
40:16Hello?
40:17White House, did you ever see anything like that?
40:27Yeah, an Esquire.
40:33Is there anyone here who can talk?
40:47We saw your house from across the stream and thought you might be able to help us.
40:52Lucy, go tell you, Pap, we got foreigners on to the property.
41:06Hey, Papi, we got foreigners.
41:17Who are you, stranger?
41:20Why, my name's Dalton.
41:22We ain't trippin' to know Dalton's git.
41:25He means we belong to the wrong mob.
41:27No, you see, that's the first name. The name's really Dean. Dalton Dean.
41:31Yes.
41:33Kinda wet, ain't ya?
41:35Yes, a little. Suppose I could come in and dry off?
41:39Oh, I reckon you might as well. Ma'll take care of you.
41:42Oh, thank you.
41:46Oh, dear.
41:47What's the matter?
41:48It's my purse. I've lost it.
41:49Well, never mind. You just carried it for an ornament anyway.
41:56What's your trouble, stranger?
41:57Well, um, you see, we ran out of gas. Do you know where we can get some?
42:01The natural yonder.
42:02How far is it?
42:04About two hoops and a holler.
42:07White House, start whooping.
42:11Git!
42:14May I intrude?
42:16Apparently, it's inevitable.
42:19Well...
42:21I never realized that Lily had such good taste.
42:25Think we'll be here long?
42:27Oh, about as long as Whitey can take.
42:31Why? Don't tell me you're anxious to get back to work.
42:34No.
42:36You like the glamorous life of a reporter?
42:39Oh, it's the usual run-of-the-mill stuff.
42:42Fires, murders, riots, airplane accidents.
42:45Day after day, week after week.
42:48Sounds horribly dull.
42:50Oh, it is.
42:52Sometimes you're lucky enough to run into a tall dog.
42:56And, uh...
42:59Then?
43:00Oh, then it's very exciting.
43:01And dangerous.
43:02Mr. Drake!
43:03I got the gas!
43:07Would you come here a minute?
43:08Excuse me.
43:14Well?
43:15Boss, I've been against it all along.
43:18Mr. Drake, I've stated repeatedly that a man has certain instincts.
43:22I've tried to imply that...
43:23Whitey, what in blazes are you talking about?
43:25Mr. Drake.
43:27Boss.
43:28Get a load of that.
43:41Where'd you get this?
43:42In a place.
43:43When I found it.
43:44And I don't like it either.
43:45What's it mean?
43:46What's it sound like?
43:48Boss, I begged you to let me push her off the train.
43:51What for?
43:52Well, now we know who she is and what she's doing.
43:55Mr. Drake.
43:56I hope you're finally convinced.
43:58I hope you realize how far you've been sticking your neck out.
44:02Why that dirty, double-crossing, two-faced, baby-faced little...
44:05Don't put that gas in the car.
44:07Yes, sir.
44:11What is it, Barry? Anything wrong?
44:13No, nothing's wrong.
44:15Whitey just found your purse.
44:16And also this telegram from headquarters.
44:18Barry, I can explain.
44:22Save it.
44:23Now we understand each other.
44:25Barry!
44:26Are you ready?
44:27Are you ready?
44:28Are you ready?
44:29Well-
45:03Barry!
45:33Barry!
45:38Barry!
45:39Mr. Drake!
45:44Mr. Drake!
45:46Mr. Drake!
45:51Mr. Drake.
45:53Mr. Drake!
45:57Mr. Drake!
45:58Mr. Drake!
45:59Mr. own buddy!
46:01Mr. Drake!
46:02We can't hear you.
46:11Revenors!
46:17Hey! Not us! Him!
46:24Hey, hey!
46:32Hey!
46:55Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Come back!
47:02Barry! Barry, come back! I've got it!
47:10Gee, ain't it nice to be alone?
47:12Yeah.
47:15Whitey, she's liable to get hurt back there.
47:18We ought to go back.
47:19Oh, I say you're crazy. You've been trying to shake her.
47:22We're going back.
47:24Please, for my sake, don't go back to that shooting, Gary!
47:32Get out, both of you!
47:40Well, Charlie, how lucky! I've been looking for you.
47:44Yes, I know. I was afraid you wouldn't find me.
47:47Charlie, it's gone!
47:49What'd you do with that suitcase?
47:51Suitcase?
47:52I haven't got any time to waste, Barry.
47:54You know the necklace was in that suitcase?
47:59What?
48:17Barry!
48:18Barry!
48:19Now, now, men! Gentlemen!
48:26I've been trying to explain that I am an officer of the law.
48:30You're trafishing on private property.
48:32I know, but I was only after them city folks.
48:35You know, that man in the tuxedo.
48:37Tuxedo!
48:39You know, tuxedo!
48:40Them fellas in the circus clothes?
48:42Yeah, yeah, that's it.
48:43Oh!
48:49And it's a pleasure.
48:51Oh, 40.
48:52Oh, 21.
48:53Yes, sorry, Tommy.
48:54Oh, just a little bit.
48:55Oh, 20.
48:56Oh, 20.
48:57Oh, yes.
48:58Oh, 20.
48:59Yes, and the nus, he's been gone all day.
49:01Oh, 20, the day!
49:02Oh, 20, no!
49:04Time to go!
49:05Oh!
49:06Oh, 20, we are away!
49:07Oh, 20, no!
49:12Oh, 20, we are away!
49:13Oh, 20?
49:14Oh, 20, we are over to the car!
49:15Oh, 20, no, let's go!
49:17Hey, you. Where's that jar of face cream? You know, there's a jar, the thing that.
49:29You can't have it. The lady gave it to me.
49:31What? May I look at that for just a minute? I'll give it right back to you.
49:35Give me that. Here we go. They're gone.
49:47If you're looking for them glass beads, the lady took them.
49:56You're all under arrest. And I want those jewels. So do we.
50:05Good morning, Miss Harrison. Good morning, Lieutenant.
50:34Well, I got them back. And that was a great job you did.
50:37Yes, Mr. Ridgeway is going to be very proud of you when he...
50:40I'll do the talking here. My apologies, Lieutenant.
50:43Now, if I may have the necklace, Mr... Oh, yes, yes, the necklace.
50:47That was nice work. And you thought you could get away with returning this phony.
50:53I repeat, Miss Harrison, that was nice work. Nice.
50:57And as for you, Drake, what have you to say for yourself?
51:00Nice work. He just said that.
51:03Wise guys, huh? When you're up there doing a stretch with Lily Lamont and Cooper, you'll have time to think up a lot of wise cracks.
51:09Ah, Mr. Phelps. Well, Lieutenant, I received your message. Have you got the necklace?
51:13Have I got it? Have I got it? What do you call this?
51:22I call that a beautiful collection of glass.
51:25What do you mean?
51:26But that's an imitation. Where's the genuine necklace?
51:29What do you mean an imitation? Why, why...
51:31Now, now, now, wait. Look, Eckert. You sent for me to deliver the necklace. Now, where is it?
51:36Now, look here, Phelps. I've gone to a lot of trouble to recover this necklace.
51:40Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think you're making a great deal of fuss over nothing.
51:44That necklace is an imitation.
51:46How do you know?
51:47Because I returned the genuine necklace originally.
51:50You returned the genuine necklace. Hmm.
51:55Here's what you returned. A phony.
51:58What? Why, this is it. This is the genuine necklace.
52:02What? Why, you dumb flatfoot.
52:05Who's a flatfoot?
52:07Who's a flatfoot?
52:08You!
52:09I chase people out.
52:10Gentlemen, gentlemen, please. I work here.
52:11Oh, certainly.
52:12I get these people, they gotta run all over the country.
52:14You tenants!
52:15Place this amongst your souvenirs. Bah, bah.
52:19You're okay, sister.
52:21I'll be at the apartment, master.
52:26And now, Mr. Dalton, I have work to do.
52:30I get it.
52:33Oh, by the way, Mrs. Dalton, what time do you go to lunch?
52:37One o'clock.
52:38Then we have an appointment at the City Hall at 1.15.
52:47Good morning, Miss Harrison.
52:49Good morning, Mr. Ridgeway.
52:50Anything happen while I was away?
52:52Not a thing, Mr. Ridgeway. Not a thing.
52:55What is a problem?
52:57What a thing.
52:59.
53:01.
53:03.
53:06.
53:10.
53:11.
53:15.
