00:00THE END
00:30THE END
01:00I took the liberty of putting a little bread
01:29It wasn't a liberty, Tenney, that was an act of Christian kindness
01:33I rather thought you might say so, sir
01:34Well, Tenney, this is our last day as a bachelor
01:37Yes, sir
01:38After today, we'll be a married man, sir
01:41And if we're not, it won't be our fault this time
01:43Now, let's see
01:47We've done everything Miss Phyllis asked us to
01:49We've stayed shut up in the house for days
01:51No newspapers, no letters, no guns
01:53Tenney, you did dispose of all the guns
01:55Oh, yes, oh, yes, all the guns
01:59Tenney, I believe you're con-
02:00Take it, take it
02:02We're not catching cold now, are we, sir?
02:08You can blame Elsie if we are
02:10It was his idea of taking away our trousers
02:11So we couldn't leave the house
02:12It was a very effective idea, if I may say so, sir
02:15Tenney, he didn't leave a pair by any chance?
02:17Not even rompers, sir
02:19They've all gone with the luggage
02:20Except, of course, the ones that Mr. Longworth's bringing with him
02:24And no money, either
02:25I hope Colonel Nielsen won't forget to bring that when he comes
02:27Oh, I think Colonel Nielsen can be relied upon for that, sir
02:30And the tickets to Nice, who has them?
02:31Mr. Longworth, sir
02:32What, Algie?
02:34Tickets and trousers both?
02:35Oh, that's quite a responsibility for one man
02:37Especially for Mr. Longworth, if I may say so, sir
02:39Now, I think I'd better check up on him, Tenney
02:41Oh, pardon me, sir
02:42We promised Miss Phyllis that we wouldn't use the telephone
02:45Except in emergency
02:46But this is an emergency, Tenney
02:48Now, supposing Algie brought the tickets and forgot the trousers
02:51Can you imagine a honeymoon under circumstances like that?
02:53I can, sir
02:54Rather awkward, I'd say, sir
02:56Then we're agreed that this is an emergency?
02:58Oh, definitely, sir
03:00That is, it has all the year marks of one
03:02Hello, exchange
03:04Get me, uh, four, four, four, four, sir
03:07How's he long worth this end?
03:13Hello, are you there?
03:15Oh, it's you, old fellow
03:17Wedding? What wedding?
03:20My wedding, you blithering idiot
03:21Now, listen, Algie, pay strict attention
03:23Have you got the tickets?
03:25You bet I have
03:25Right here in my pocket
03:27Good
03:27Now, listen carefully, Algie
03:29Have you got my trousers?
03:32He has them
03:33May I suggest, sir, that you inquire about mine?
03:36Yes, and have you got Tenney's trousers?
03:39Yes, he has them, too
03:39Thank you, sir
03:41Well, Algie
03:42Algie, have you got your own trousers?
03:44Have I got my own trousers?
03:46Now, you, old boy
03:47I...
03:47Uh-oh
03:48Hugh!
03:48I forgot to put them on
03:50What'll I do?
03:58Captain Drummond is on the wire, sir
04:00All right, put him through
04:02Hello, Hugh, what do you want now?
04:08Yes, of course I've got your money
04:10And the marriage license
04:11Yes
04:12I simply thought it might be a good idea to...
04:14All you have to do is to stay inside that house of yours and keep out of trouble.
04:20What?
04:21I simply asked if you were certain this wedding isn't dragging you away from some important case.
04:25No, there's not a thing on my desk you can stick your long, unwanted, interfering nose into, Hugh Drummond.
04:32And you're supposed not to talk on the telephone. Goodbye.
04:35Hello? Of course it's Phyllis.
04:42Hugh, darling, you promised not to use the telephone.
04:46Has anything happened?
04:47No, no, no, darling. I just wanted to know if...
04:49If she has the rings, sir.
04:51Yes. Have you got the rings?
04:53Of course I've got the rings.
04:55Now, will you behave yourself and do as you've been told?
04:57Oh, but, sweetheart, I am. She has the rings.
05:00And if I don't get out of this place soon, I'll go crazy.
05:02Pardon me, sir. We shall go crazy.
05:04Yes, we shall go crazy.
05:07I'm leaving right now to pick up Colonel Nielsen at Greystone Manor.
05:10We'll be there in no time at all.
05:13Of course I love you.
05:16Bye.
05:17Goodbye, sweet.
05:19Well, Tenny, she's on her way. Nothing can stop us now.
05:22This time we're going to be married.
05:24It would seem so, sir, sir.
05:25It's self-sacrifice it's done it, Tenny.
05:27Staying shut up here for days, weeks, years, centuries.
05:30But it's worth it, Tenny. It's worth it.
05:32I dare say, sir.
05:34May I make a suggestion, sir?
05:35Certainly. What is it?
05:36The telephone, sir.
05:37Yes, what about it?
05:38It might be the one weak link in an otherwise invincible chain, sir.
05:43You're right, Tenny. We might be lured into something over the wire.
05:46Precisely, sir.
05:47Ah, thank you.
05:54Now we are protected.
05:55And not holy, sir.
05:57Hmm?
05:58Obviously.
06:01May I further suggest so?
06:05Oh, an excellent idea, Tenny.
06:06I'd rather like it, sir.
06:07Hey, how is the Miss Mark?
06:08Thank you sir.
06:09I'd rather like it, sir.
06:10Ha'
06:13Ha'
06:15ha.
06:24Ha'
06:29Ha'
06:30ha'
06:32Phillips!
06:42Phillips, where are you?
06:44Colonel Nielsen.
06:50Good evening, Colonel.
06:52Ah.
06:54And who are you?
06:56I'm afraid Scotland Yard is slipping.
07:00You didn't wear a beard when you ran away and your face is darker.
07:04The African sun.
07:06The African sun.
07:08I see.
07:10The photographs on our files were a much younger man.
07:12Richard Lane.
07:14Some kind of an ex-diplomat.
07:16Decorated by the Crown during the war for services of unusual merit.
07:22The Crown made a mistake.
07:24So you do remember me?
07:26Scotland Yard never forgets a spy until he's shot.
07:28Oh, Colonel, let's avoid the unpleasant words.
07:30Won't you join me?
07:32Oh, how nice of you.
07:34May I suggest the sherry? You'll find it excellent.
07:36Oh, fine.
07:38Aren't you a bit curious as to why I'm here?
07:40No, no, no, no, no.
07:42You've undoubtedly come all the way from Africa to give yourself up.
07:44Ha, ha.
07:45Scarcely that.
07:46Well, perhaps you've come to return the plans of the Brenton bomber.
07:49Which you auctioned off to an enemy government twelve years ago.
07:52My, you have an excellent memory, Colonel.
07:54So they tell me.
07:58I suppose it surprises you that the fox comes hunting for the hound.
08:01You doubtless expect to get away?
08:03Oh, yes, yes, of course.
08:04You see, had I called upon you at the yard,
08:06the odds would have been too great, even for me.
08:08How dare say.
08:09Oh, yes, yes.
08:13Will you excuse me for a moment?
08:15Oh, no, wait a moment.
08:16I'm sorry, Colonel.
08:17I'm going to kindly help you.
08:19Here's the key.
08:20Oh.
08:21My apologies.
08:30Luck seems to have turned against me.
08:32You ought to know that all important papers are kept in the yard.
08:35Yes, I should have thought about that.
08:39You were preparing to attend Captain Drummond's wedding, weren't you?
08:42How do you know about Drummond's wedding?
08:44Your man Phillips was quite informative.
08:46It will simplify things a great deal if you are equally so.
08:49And if I retain my clam-like silence?
08:52Won't you sit down?
08:57You servicemen are all alike.
08:59Very much the same in spirit.
09:01Admirable, too, in a way.
09:02Now you, for example, remind me of Commander Knox,
09:05when I requested information about the 18-inch coast gun.
09:08So you were responsible for his disappearance?
09:11Yes.
09:12Many great nations will pay money for each other's war secrets.
09:16Really?
09:17A great deal of money.
09:21Now, isn't it a fact, Colonel,
09:23that your government has designs for radio wave disintegrator
09:26which will make it impossible for an enemy to intercept your signal during time of war?
09:30I hadn't heard of it.
09:33Oh, come, come.
09:34The Burton signal apparatus.
09:36Invented by one of the yard's own radio technicians.
09:39You know all about it.
09:40You're going to tell me.
09:42And just how do you propose to make me tell you?
09:47If you persist in being obstinate, Colonel,
09:49I'm afraid you'll be late for Captain Drummond's wedding.
09:54Good evening.
09:55Good evening.
10:00Good evening.
10:01Good evening.
10:02I've called for Colonel Neilson.
10:03And you are?
10:04Miss Clavering.
10:05Oh, yes, yes, of course.
10:06Miss Clavering.
10:07Where's Phillips?
10:08Well, this is Phillips' night off.
10:09His night off?
10:10Yes, cinema, I believe.
10:11I talk to him a little while ago.
10:13It must have been rather sudden.
10:14It was rather sudden.
10:15Well, I'm in a frightful hurry.
10:16I wonder if you would be good at what to do.
10:18First of all, he's going through the window.
10:19Yes, he's going through the window.
10:20Take care, desperd Look.
10:21It looks good at mine, Joslyn.
10:22Thinkard?
10:26No, come on.
10:28Good evening.
10:30Good evening.
10:31Good evening.
10:32Good evening.
10:33I've called for Colonel Neilson.
10:34And you are?
10:36Miss Clavering.
10:37Oh, yes, yes, of course.
10:39I'm in a frightful hurry. I wonder if you'd be good enough to tell the colonel I'm here.
10:43Miss Clavering, perhaps I'd better explain. You see, I'm the new tenant of Greystone Manor.
10:48The new tenant?
10:49Yes.
10:50But I talked to the colonel only this morning.
10:53And he didn't tell you?
10:54No.
10:55Well, that's strange.
10:57Of course, the colonel's a busy man, but he turned the place over to me today.
11:02Then he's not here?
11:04No. He's gone to Rockham Lodge to be with Captain Drummond.
11:08Then I must hurry.
11:11Well, Miss Clavering, since we're going to be neighbors, I do hope to see more of you and Captain Drummond.
11:17You know about the wedding?
11:18Yes, the colonel told me, and might I offer my good wishes.
11:25Do you mind if I ask you something?
11:27No, not at all.
11:28I have the strangest feeling of having known you before.
11:31No, I hardly think so.
11:33I couldn't have forgotten so charming an acquaintance.
11:36That's very nice of you.
11:38Good night.
11:39Good night, Miss Clavering.
11:41I have no warning you.
11:43Who are you, Michel?
11:44Yes.
11:45Good night.
12:53Hello?
12:55Give me Captain Drummond at Rockingham Lodge.
12:57Hurry, please.
13:04But they must answer. Someone's there, I know. Try again.
13:16Louder, Penny. Louder.
13:25Oh, I know, sir. I know. A wish for the halen nectar.
13:30Oh, Penny, you anticipate my every wish.
13:32With the perfume of the purple heather in every drop, sir.
13:35Well, I do believe you're a poet.
13:37Thank you, sir. And a good fellow.
13:39Well, you're not so bad yourself, sir.
13:44Well, Penny, since it's our last day as a bachelor, shall we drink to...
13:47Miss Phyllis, sir?
13:48Aye.
13:49And tis a bonnie last year, sir.
13:54That's Algie.
13:55Our pants.
13:59Ready, Penny?
14:01Well, not.
14:02Sounds are coming.
14:03I know who I know is.
14:04I know who I know is.
14:05I know who I know is.
14:06Darling!
14:07Hugh, something terrible.
14:08Who, me?
14:09It's the colonel. He's gone.
14:10With my money, the scoundrel.
14:11He's been kidnapped.
14:12Do you hear that, Penny?
14:13Somebody stole the colonel.
14:14Great Scots, sir.
14:15What will he be taking next? Generals?
14:16A man with a beard.
14:17And a cast in one eye.
14:18Oh, Hugh, please be serious.
14:19There were two men.
14:20One with a beard.
14:21I couldn't see the other.
14:22Oh, now, darling.
14:23You've got things all mixed up.
14:24I'm the one who finds bearded villains, not you.
14:25Oh, Penny, you believe me, don't you?
14:27Oh, that is, uh...
14:29We stay in the house and try to keep out of mischief.
14:31And now you come along.
14:33I know you've got them hidden in the car.
14:36I know you've got them hidden in the car.
14:40Hugh!
14:41Well, where is he?
14:42I told you.
14:43I stopped at Greystone to pick him up.
14:44And the man with a beard said he was the new tenant.
14:46Now, Colonel Nielsen wouldn't let Greystone to anyone.
14:47He said the colonel had come on here.
14:48But I went back and watched.
14:49Good work, darling.
14:50They brought Colonel Nielsen out unconscious.
14:51And took him away in his own car.
14:52Away?
14:53Where?
14:54I don't know.
14:55I tried to phone you.
14:56I cut the wires.
14:57Penny!
14:58Cummings on.
14:59As usual, Cummings on.
15:00Your head's off.
15:01What's going on?
15:02You've got him hidden in the car.
15:03You've got him hidden in the car.
15:04Hugh!
15:05Well, where is he?
15:06As usual.
15:07Cummings, sir.
15:08Your head's off.
15:09What's that?
15:10Mr. Longworth removed our firearms, sir.
15:13So I took the precaution of hiding these.
15:16Penny, you said there were no guns in the house.
15:19Pardon me, sir.
15:20These are not guns.
15:21These are pistols.
15:22You see, darling, we kept our word.
15:24Good work, Penny.
15:25I rather like it, sir.
15:26Hurry, Hugh.
15:27Hurry!
15:28I said Hugh, Phyllis.
15:29I've got your pants.
15:30I mean, where are you going?
15:31Greystone Manor.
15:32Greystone Manor?
15:33Uh...
15:34Greystone Manor?
15:35I mean, where are you going?
15:36Greystone Manor.
15:37Greystone Manor?
15:38Uh...
16:04You look in there, Penny.
16:05I'll look in there.
16:06You'll come with me.
16:11There's the colonel's briefcase.
16:16Hello, operator.
16:17This is Captain Drummond speaking from Colonel Nielsen's residence.
16:20Will you get me Scotland Yard immediately?
16:22Yes.
16:23Yes, you can call me here.
16:25Hugh, look!
16:47Tony!
16:48Coming, sir!
16:49Easy now.
16:51Easy now.
16:53Captain Drummond.
16:55Phillips, old man. Who did this?
16:57It was...
16:59Richard.
17:01Yes?
17:03This may help, sir.
17:10Drummond speaking.
17:11Yard? Yes, get me Inspector Blair, quickly.
17:14Who was it, Phillips? Can't you tell me?
17:16It was Richard Lane.
17:19Richard Lane.
17:21Now I know why his face was so familiar.
17:23I remember his picture in the papers, without a beard.
17:25Well, Nielsen's been after him for years.
17:27Hello, Blair. This is Drummond.
17:29I'm at Nielsen's. He's been kidnapped.
17:31I said kidnapped.
17:33Yes, by Richard Lane.
17:35I don't care if Lane hasn't been in England for years.
17:37He was here half an hour ago.
17:39Captain Drummond. Hold on a minute.
17:41Yes, Phillips.
17:43Got an aeroplane.
17:45Near him and he.
17:47They're taking him to...
17:49Where, Phillips? Where?
17:51To Africa.
17:53Somewhere near Arby.
17:55Morocco.
17:57Hello, Blair.
17:59The butler says Lane has a plane on Hampton Heath.
18:01Yes, they're taking Nielsen to Morocco.
18:03Somewhere near Arby.
18:05Yes, Morocco.
18:07Now, you send some men to the Heath.
18:09I'll try to stop him.
18:10Right.
18:16Isn't there something we can do?
18:17We can get the man who killed him.
18:19Come on, dummy.
18:39Now, where are you going?
18:43Hampton Heath, sir.
18:45Hampton Heath?
18:47I wish you make up your mind where you are going to get married.
18:49Do you think he'll be all right?
19:05Yes, of course he'll be all right.
19:07Hey, look.
19:09There's a plane.
19:12Say penis.
19:14Say penis.
19:18Well, it wasn't a bad idea.
19:20There's a plane on.
19:21Well, here's a plane.
19:23Right.
19:25I'll go.
19:26Well, it wasn't a bad idea, Tenny.
19:40It wasn't a good one, sir.
19:43Hugh!
19:45Hugh, you're crazy.
19:47I mean, are you crazy?
19:48Are those my friends, Algie?
19:49Yes, but I...
19:50Never mind, later.
19:51Oh, but listen, never mind, Algie.
19:53Here you are, Tenny.
19:54Excuse me, darling.
19:55But Hugh, I'm in a dither.
19:57Have you gone slightly barmy?
19:58I'm mad, if that's what you mean.
20:00Mad?
20:00Oh, oh, you mean angry, annoyed, irritated, as it were.
20:03What about you?
20:04Plain, Algie.
20:04Colonel Nielsen's been in.
20:05What's he doing up there?
20:06Kidnapped, Algie.
20:07Kidnapped.
20:08Kidnapped?
20:08Nielsen?
20:09I say, oh, well, you're sure you're quite all right.
20:11I mean, the wedding, the excitement, and all that sort of thing.
20:13Of course I'm all right, Algie.
20:14I'm going to kill us for this.
20:15She started it.
20:15Kill us?
20:16I saw the man put Colonel Nielsen in his car.
20:18What for?
20:19We're going to follow and find out.
20:21Who's that?
20:21Police, don't say anything about trying to follow Nielsen.
20:27They might try to stop us.
20:31Captain Drummond.
20:32Hello, Sergeant.
20:33The yard calls on the Waza.
20:34Yes, it's too bad you didn't get here five minutes earlier.
20:36There's your man up there.
20:37There's the card I used to abduct Colonel Nielsen.
20:39You better take a look at it.
20:40Right, sir.
20:46Now's our chance to get away, Algie.
20:48Tenney.
20:48Tenney, sir.
20:49I say, Hugh, but where do we go?
20:51Possibly Africa.
20:52Africa.
20:53Africa?
21:12Tenney, get those doors open, be it good, sir.
21:16Algie, you better check that reserve tank in case we need it.
21:18Right post.
21:19Captain Drummond.
21:23Captain Drummond.
21:24Just a moment, sir.
21:25Sir.
21:26Well, Sergeant.
21:27I see we're just in time, sir.
21:29Time for what?
21:30To carry out orders, sir.
21:31Orders, Sergeant?
21:32Aye, sir.
21:33To see if you do not leave England tonight.
21:35You mean to tell me I can't take my plane for a flight if I want to?
21:37Orders, sir.
21:38The yard wants no interference in handling a certain case.
21:41Oh, well, we're just going for a pleasure flight.
21:42A few friends, you know.
21:43Up in the clouds.
21:44You know, good for asthma and all that sort of thing.
21:48Yes, you see.
21:49Sorry, sir.
21:50Orders, disorders.
21:51Jenkins, you remain here until we leave.
21:52Very good, Sergeant.
21:53This plane is not to be taken out.
21:54Understand?
21:55This plane is not to be taken out.
21:56Understand?
21:57This plane is not to be taken out.
21:58Excuse me.
21:59Excuse me.
22:06I say choose.
22:07Move later, Alty.
22:25Alty, open the parachute box.
22:26But the chutes are in the box where they belong.
22:27Yes, Elsie. In the box. Locked in the box.
22:31Oh, that's right. Locked in the box.
22:34Yes. I see if they're still there.
22:37Goodbye, darling.
22:38Q, don't try anything. He's the Lord.
22:40I've got to, darling. It's our only chance.
22:42If you're that crazy, I'll be crazy too. I'm going with you.
22:45You're staying here.
22:46I'm not. This was supposed to be our wedding night.
22:49In case you've forgotten.
22:50I know, darling. I'm sorry, but I love you and I want to marry you
22:53and I'm going to marry you, but not tonight.
22:55Now, will you please get in the car and run along?
22:58Oh, all right. I suppose I don't have to.
23:01Goodbye.
23:03Be careful.
23:05Good girl.
23:11Smoke, constable?
23:12Not when I'm on duty, sir.
23:13Oh, I beg your pardon. I only meant sure there were no hard feelings.
23:16Oh, I understand, sir. Thank you, sir.
23:18You wouldn't mind if we inspect our parachutes as long as we're here.
23:21Well, I suppose it'll be all right, sir.
23:24If you have any doubts, you can come and watch us.
23:26Oh, that's all right, sir. It's not that I don't trust you, but...
23:29The orders is orders.
23:30That's right, sir.
23:31The orders is orders.
23:38What's the matter, Algie?
23:39Oh, there's something stuck down there. I simply can't get them out.
23:42I'm ashamed of you, Algie. A big, strong fellow like you.
23:45Well, I guess you're right, Algie. You seem to be stuck.
23:46Blimey your hand.
23:47Oh, I suppose we ought to give it up.
23:48Oh, don't say give up, gentlemen. Let me give you a hand.
23:49Oh, no, no. Don't bother, constable. You might strain yourself.
23:50Oh, nonsense. They used to call me Little Goliath.
23:51No.
23:52Now you watch me.
23:53here. Here. Here you are. I'll say you can't do that. Here. What are you doing?
24:09I saw you gone, dear lady.
24:11What are you doing?
24:15Beautiful, Alty.
24:17Penny! Penny, sir.
24:19What's the hat here?
24:21And this, Alty, was to have been my wedding night.
24:40Why, Joe, if you, that reminds me.
24:42Of what?
24:43This must still have been your wedding night.
24:45That's what I said.
24:46But that's when I heard it.
24:48There are times, Alty, when silence is...
24:51Golden?
24:52Yes, when silence is golden.
24:54That's what Penny said.
24:55Oh, I see.
24:56And you mean that this is one of those times, huh?
24:58Emphatically.
25:00I hated running out on Phyllis like that, but we couldn't bring her with us.
25:03Of course not.
25:04Danger and all that sort of figure.
25:06Pardon me, sir.
25:07Your guns, sir?
25:08Oh, yes, certainly.
25:09Why?
25:10Jolly business, what?
25:12It depends upon the point of view, sir.
25:18I see you.
25:21Yes, Alty?
25:22Can we depend on that thing?
25:24Yes, Alty?
25:25Alty, it's about 1,200 miles.
25:32We should reach the African coast by dawn, parting accidents.
25:35Accidents?
25:36Hugh, you haven't had a crash yet, have you?
25:38It can always be a first time, Alty.
25:40Of course, it can always be a first time.
25:42What?
25:43Don't worry, old boy.
25:44I think we'll get through, all right?
25:45I hope.
25:46Miss Harlan.
25:47Miss Harlan.
25:48My Phyllis.
25:49I know I shouldn't, but here I am, and here we are.
25:53This is a surprise.
25:54Here, sit down.
25:56Well, darling, now you're in the soup with the rest of us.
25:58Nice soup.
26:00I've often wondered about it, and now I know.
26:02What?
26:03Why I love you.
26:04Do you think we could be married in Morocco?
26:06Or would they make us use a Mohammedan priest?
26:08Well, then we'd be Mohammedans, and I could have a heron.
26:11That would be lovely.
26:12But don't try it.
26:16Well, here we go.
26:17Better fasten your belts.
26:21Well, here we go.
26:22Better fasten your belts.
26:23Well, here we go.
26:24Better fasten your belts.
26:28Well, here we go.
26:29Better fasten your belts.
26:31Well, fair enough.
26:32Well, thank you, and here it is.
26:33Let's see, my neighbors.
26:34I'll take a little further, Captain.
26:35Take a little further.
26:36I'll take a little further.
26:37I'll take a little further.
26:38I'll take a little further.
26:39I'll take a little further.
26:40I'll take a little further.
26:41C'mon, will I?
26:42Good evening, sir.
26:47Good evening, sir.
26:52Good evening, sir.
26:55Good evening, sir.
26:57Welcome to the Surcalarbee.
27:00Have you a landing permit?
27:03A landing permit, old boy.
27:06Oh, landing permit!
27:09Well, you see, we left England rather hurriedly and...
27:12Oh, you must have a landing permit, sir.
27:14We will arrange for it at the British Consulate.
27:16Oh, the Capitani is attached to the Consulate?
27:18Well, not exactly, but I'm sure that they'll see that everything is in order.
27:21The Consulate will not open its doors for several hours, sir.
27:24In that case, we'll take a look around the town, what?
27:26Oh, that will not be possible, sir, until later.
27:28Oh, I see. Not until later.
27:30Uh, shall we, Algie?
27:33I don't think so.
27:40Ah, we're losing our grip, Algie.
27:43Uh, Arby has a hotel, Nadal.
27:45Hotel?
27:46Si, senor, the Hotel de Maroc.
27:48We'll escort you there.
27:49Yes, I thought perhaps you would.
27:51After you.
27:52Oh, after you, senor.
27:54After you.
27:55Welcome to Arby, darling.
28:03Romantic, isn't it?
28:08If the heat of an African sun can be classed as, uh, romantic, sir.
28:15Right you are.
28:16Right you are.
28:17Right you are.
28:18Right you are.
28:19Come on.
28:20Come on.
28:21Come on.
28:22Come on.
28:23Come on.
28:24Come on.
28:25Come on.
28:26Come on.
28:27Come on.
28:28Come on.
28:29Come on.
28:30Come on.
28:31Come on.
28:32Come on.
28:33Come on.
28:34Come on.
28:35Yes.
28:36Mr. Baker can see you, sir.
28:37Let him come in.
28:38Yes, Major.
28:39Ah.
28:40Good morning, Charles.
28:41Major.
28:42Sit down.
28:43Sit down.
28:45You're quite a stranger.
28:46Yes, I rarely leave my place, you know.
28:48Pretty much of a hermit.
28:49Don't you find life a bit dull in that country place of yours?
28:51As a matter of fact, Major, that's why I'm here.
28:53I've decided to have a little fling.
28:54London.
28:55Paris.
28:56Paris.
28:57Yes.
28:58It's been over a year since I was away.
28:59I'll enjoy it, I think.
29:00I wish I could go with you.
29:01I wish you could, Major.
29:02And, oh, yes, uh, by the way, of course, I'll need a visa for my passport.
29:05Oh, that's easy.
29:06Just see McAllister across the street.
29:07Come on.
29:08Come on.
29:09Come on.
29:10Come on.
29:11Come on.
29:12Come on.
29:13Come on.
29:14Come on.
29:15Just see McAllister across the hall.
29:16Fine.
29:18Well, good-bye, Major.
29:19Good-bye, sir.
29:20And I wish you a pleasant journey.
29:27Yes?
29:28Captain Drummond is here to see you, sir.
29:30Oh, send him in.
29:31Yes, sir.
29:32That door, Captain.
29:34Would you mind waiting here?
29:36Certainly not, senor.
29:38Captain Drummond.
29:39I'm glad to know you, Major Gray.
29:40Sit down.
29:42Drummond.
29:43You stand in danger of arrest by the local authorities for landing here without a permit.
29:44Yes, it's about arranging for a permit that I'm here.
29:45Consulate regulations state that all subjects of the Empire shall receive any assistance of
29:46which they may stand indeed.
29:47The Scotland Yard has cabled me to assist you according to the regulations.
29:48That's very decent of them.
29:49Furthermore, the Yard has ordered me to assist you back to England in double-quick time.
30:00But Major, you don't understand.
30:01I understand perfectly.
30:02I've ordered your plane's service.
30:03From the moment it's ready, off you go.
30:05You're lucky we're not leaving you in a Moroccan jail for a few weeks.
30:10But deixar was Esker.
30:11Legal Moshe is not moving over here.
30:12He went back home and
30:15to work at that pace.
30:16You're lucky we're not leaving you in a Moroccan jail for a few weeks.
30:19But, Major, if you... Just a moment, please.
30:21Yes, Major?
30:22Did the guard accompany Captain Drummond?
30:24Yes, Major.
30:25Ask him to step into the hall.
30:26Very good, sir.
30:27Major, when I left England...
30:28I know all about you, Drummond.
30:30You left England in defiance of an official order.
30:32After resisting an officer of the Crown.
30:34That constable didn't know I was coming to Arby.
30:36The Scotland Yard did.
30:38Captain Drummond is returning to England.
30:39He's not to leave his hotel without authority from me and under escort.
30:43Si, Senor. Si, Major.
30:44I tell you Colonel Nielsen was kidnapped.
30:46Rubbish, Drummond.
30:47The Yard warned me you'd say something like that.
30:49Cable him again. Ask him if he's in his office.
30:52Well, Major, I'm off.
30:53Well, goodbye, sir, and good luck.
30:55Just a moment. You're Richard Lane.
30:57You're mistaken, Drummond.
30:58Mistake in my eye. Major, this man is Richard Lane.
31:00He's murdered Nielsen's butler and kidnapped Nielsen.
31:02This is the man I followed in my plane.
31:04That's enough, Drummond.
31:05But, Major, I...
31:05This gentleman is Mr. Charles Maeger.
31:07To my knowledge, he hasn't been out of Arby for a year.
31:10My apologies, sir. I hope you'll overlook this.
31:12Perfectly all right, Major.
31:14Good day, sir.
31:16Major, that man was in England last night.
31:18Captain Drummond, you will be notified when your plane is serviced.
31:22Good morning.
31:23Yes, good morning.
31:24After you, Senor.
31:28Do you think Lane knows wrong to him, sir?
31:42I'm certain he doesn't.
31:44Is MacTurk back yet?
31:45No, not yet, sir.
31:51Well, what do you want?
31:52I'm afraid these will have to be burned.
31:55MacTurk.
31:56That's a perfect disguise.
31:58Too perfect, Major.
31:59Well, what did you find out?
32:01They've got Nielsen all right.
32:03I wasn't a hundred yards away when that plane came down.
32:05Lane's place, of course.
32:06Right.
32:07I flashed Nielsen a heliograph message.
32:10And scouted around the house about a quarter of a mile away.
32:13And I waited for three or four hours, and just as I was about to give up, I caught a flash of light.
32:19Heliograph signaled from one of the upper windows.
32:21What did his message say?
32:23Safe so far, Lane expecting three of his agents.
32:28Delay raid until tonight.
32:30I don't like it.
32:32These are his orders.
32:33He's gambling his life, and I won't risk it.
32:35Fourteen, you made arrangements with the local police for the raid, as I told you.
32:39No, Major.
32:40Well, why haven't you?
32:42Because there will be no raid.
32:44What's the meaning of this?
32:45Will you gentlemen please raise your hands?
32:47Sir.
32:48I wouldn't try that if I were you.
32:50There's a car in the rear, Major.
33:12Ah.
33:13Well, you, uh, found your quarters comfortable, Guino?
33:17Quite.
33:18The confinement is becoming a little monotonous.
33:21Yes.
33:22Yes, I understand perfectly.
33:24If you come with me, perhaps I can relieve that monotony.
33:29You may.
33:30Are you, uh, wondering about your chances of escape?
33:32Naturally.
33:33Of course you're too smart.
33:34At least I hope you are to attempt it.
33:35Oh, thank you.
33:36After you, Colonel.
33:37As you say.
33:38A little kingdom of my own, Colonel.
33:39You know, far from the maddening crowd.
33:41Mm.
33:42Hello, Boo Boo.
33:43Mimi?
33:44How's Mabel over there?
33:45Is that Mabel?
33:46Yes.
33:47Yes.
33:48Yes.
33:49Oh.
33:50Oh.
33:51Oh, it's a little kingdom of my own, Colonel.
33:53Oh, no.
33:54You know, far from the maddening crowd.
33:56Mm.
33:57Hello, Boo Boo.
33:58Mimi?
33:59How's Mabel over there?
34:00Is that Mabel?
34:01Yes.
34:02Oh.
34:03Oh.
34:04Oh.
34:05Oh.
34:06Oh.
34:07Oh.
34:08Oh.
34:11Oh.
34:12Oh.
34:13Oh.
34:14Oh.
34:15Oh.
34:16My pets, Colonel.
34:19Your pets?
34:20Yes, I find them extremely useful.
34:23Yes, I imagine they do discourage visitors.
34:26Oh, no, no, on the contrary, they welcome visitors.
34:29They follow me.
34:31Yes, I'll follow you.
34:32I thought you would.
34:33Now, this fellow over here, he's a favorite.
34:35But, uh, we mustn't go too close.
34:38Oh, don't worry, I won't.
34:46Gentlemen, I have a surprise for you.
34:56Allow me to present our old opponent, Colonel Nielsen.
34:59How do you go?
35:00Colonel Venenda Ackley.
35:02Charles.
35:03Delighted.
35:04Ackley's is the agent who obtained from your government the plans for the Sudan.
35:09Which were changed immediately, rendering them valorous.
35:11Yes, but not before we sold them.
35:14Had a very nice figure.
35:14Really?
35:16Very clever, I know, Charles.
35:18And this is Dr. Sturm.
35:19Doctor?
35:22How do you do?
35:24Baronewski?
35:27Oh, uh, have all arrangements been made for Captain Drummond's departure?
35:30Yes, sir, all arrangements.
35:32Drummond's plane will explode in midair.
35:34That means that, uh, Captain Drummond and his party will vanish at about a hundred miles at sea.
35:40Have you nothing to say, Colonel?
35:41You underestimate Captain Drummond's ability.
35:45You know, Nielsen, I rather admire you.
35:50I think under different circumstances we could get along well together.
35:53The circumstances would, as you say, have to be different.
35:57Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course, different, uh, Colonel.
36:05To a very courageous opponent.
36:08Courageous even in defeat.
36:10And may I, in the depth of my defeat, offer a toast?
36:15Why, surely.
36:17To men who have lost all sense of honor.
36:21To men who have disgraced the countries that gave them birth.
36:26To you, gentlemen.
36:27After dinner, we will discuss Colonel Nielsen's toast.
36:38In detail.
36:40Have a chair, Colonel.
36:42Thank you so much.
36:48I'd hate to be in this plane when this thing goes off.
36:51What time am I receding it for?
36:52For Dinsed at nine o'clock.
36:54Oh, I say, Hugh, those dancing fellas are doing some pretty nifty tailspin.
37:14Alfie, now is not the time to become analytical about the toxic-arramed peculiarities of some derling wervishes.
37:19Derling wervishes?
37:20Yes, swirling dervishes.
37:21Here, lend a hand with those sheets.
37:23Oh, yes.
37:23Be sure to tie the knots double because we can't use broken legs.
37:26But, Hugh, how are we going to find Lane's place after which...
37:29Well, that is, if we do get out of here.
37:30Then we'll worry about that when we get out.
37:32Yes, but then...
37:33If Lane has a place, Alfie will find it.
37:34And Colonel Nielsen, too.
37:35Right.
37:38That's Phyllis, I hope.
37:39Don't you hear?
37:50Yes.
37:51They are up to something.
37:53Caporal, you are the most suspicious one.
37:57Good work, darling.
37:58I'd rather like it, sir.
37:59I still don't think it's long enough to reach the ground.
38:01Well, as if we can work our way along that ledge, it'll reach from the balcony.
38:04Yeah.
38:04And only 50 feet to a nice stone courtyard below.
38:08Now, if you want to know what I'm in favor of doing...
38:10What, Alfie?
38:12I'm in favor of trying it.
38:14Yes, that's what I thought.
38:16Now, darling, promise me something.
38:17Yes, sir.
38:18Promise me that you'll stay here.
38:19But...
38:19And not try to follow us.
38:20But...
38:20Let me no buts, darling.
38:21You stay here or else...
38:22Or else what?
38:23Or else I'll thrash you.
38:24Yes, Captain, darling.
38:26But don't try it.
38:28Goodbye, darling.
38:29Here we go.
38:36You next, Alfie, and then Tenny.
38:37Be careful, Hugh.
38:40Come back here.
38:41There's someone at the door.
38:42Deliver.
38:42Tell him I'm in the bar or something.
38:53Why do you take so long, senor?
38:55I was attending Captain Drummond.
38:57And the captain is...
38:58In his bar.
39:00Ah, then we will wait.
39:02Si, senorita, senor, senor Fordy of the British Conque.
39:07How do you do?
39:08Good evening.
39:09If you don't mind, I'll wait for the captain.
39:12Yes, of course.
39:13We were just listening to the music.
39:15Yes, and jolly good music, too.
39:17Yes, sounds just like...
39:18Just like music.
39:20And the music.
39:22It should come in much better if I open the window.
39:24He'll get me out.
39:25Get me out.
39:30You too, Cosmo boy.
39:31Have a good drink.
39:31I'm just going to pour one.
39:34We saw Captain Drummond go into that room, did we not?
39:37Si, here we're the other.
39:38Did we see him come out?
39:39No.
39:40Yes.
39:41The gentleman said he was in his bed.
39:42Does he so?
39:43It cannot be so.
39:45Why?
39:46There is one bedroom on each floor, empty bedroom.
39:49It is not in there.
39:50It is down there.
39:52Then if he's not there, he must be there.
39:55And yet they say he is not.
39:58Then is he or is he not in his room?
40:02Something very, very strange.
40:04So, we shall see.
40:08Pardon, senorita.
40:09Senores.
40:10Where is Captain Drummond?
40:11I've already told you Captain Drummond is in his bath.
40:12Bath?
40:13It is not all right if my guest desires a bath.
40:15There is no bath, senor.
40:16There is no bath?
40:17Not in here.
40:18Over there.
40:19Search that room.
40:20Seek a bath.
40:21Here, here, here, here.
40:22Stand aside.
40:23Ha!
40:24So.
40:25Quite so.
40:26Yes.
40:27Quite so.
40:28Ah.
40:29Ah.
40:30Ah.
40:31Ah.
40:32Ah.
40:33And what, senor, is this for?
40:34To climb an hour.
40:35Well, let's go.
40:36Yes.
40:37Yes.
40:38Yes.
40:39Yes.
40:40Yes.
40:41Yes.
40:42Yes.
40:43Yes.
40:44Yes.
40:45Yes.
40:46Yes.
40:47Yes.
40:48Quite so.
40:57And what, senor, is this for?
41:00To climb an hour.
41:01Well, darling.
41:02Good evening, Captain Drummond.
41:04Well, I can't agree with you, but we won't argue the point.
41:06I have major great instructions.
41:08Yes, I know.
41:09Mr. Fordeen, Miss Clavering, this gentleman has come to escort us to our plane and out of Morocco.
41:14I'm sorry, sir.
41:15Well, here we go.
41:16But, Hugh, we can't leave without Colonel Nielsen.
41:18Oh, you need have no fears about Colonel Nielsen who's clevering.
41:21I suppose he's safe at his office in London?
41:23Yes.
41:24We received a cable grant from Scotland Yard assuring us that Colonel Nielsen did spend the day in his office.
41:28As usual.
41:29As usual.
41:30But he couldn't.
41:31I saw those men carry him out of the house.
41:33Yes, I know, darling, but this gentleman says he spent the day in his office as usual.
41:36But, Hugh.
41:37We have no choice, darling.
41:38And my ship is in order?
41:39Oh, perfect order, Captain.
41:41Get your coat, darling.
41:46Captain Drummond, you will fly directly to England.
41:51Well, there seems to be no point in doing anything else if Colonel Nielsen is there.
41:54Well then, goodbye.
41:55Goodbye.
41:56Goodbye, senores.
41:57Come along, Alty.
41:58Goodbye.
41:59Oh, goodbye, old boy.
42:00I hope I don't see you again.
42:01Oh, that is.
42:02Unless we have to breathe.
42:03Adios, senores.
42:04Adios, senores.
42:30Nice peoples.
42:31Too bad they could not get a landing permit.
42:32Ah, they'll forget about it in an hour or so.
42:53You don't believe Nielsen's in England?
42:55Course I don't.
42:56Then why have we been flying out to sea for the past half hour?
42:59Monkey business, Algie.
43:00Monkey business?
43:01In case our Mr. Fordeen decided to follow us.
43:04No, we're turning back.
43:05Turning back?
43:06Right now.
43:07We're caught engine trouble.
43:08They wouldn't ask us to come down at sea in a land plane, would they?
43:11Well, let's not ask them, huh?
43:23If we're returning, sir, might I suggest that we land somewhere near Mr. Richard Lane's place?
43:28That's easier said than done, Tony. We don't know where it is.
43:30What will we do, sir?
43:31I need inquiries among the hotel staff as to the residents of Mr. Charles Meagher.
43:37Mr. Richard Lane to us, sir.
43:39Good work, Tony.
43:40I rather thought you might like it, sir.
43:42I've indicated it on this travel folder.
43:45Hex marks the spot, eh?
43:46Yes, sir.
43:54The place is just there, sir.
43:55The men to the west is fairly level.
43:57Good.
43:58Here go the flares.
44:00If anyone's watching, those flares will be a dead giveaway.
44:12Take that chance, darling.
44:13The moment we land, everybody get out and run.
44:15We'll soon know if they've spotted us.
44:17No!
44:18You're not.
44:19No!
44:20No!
44:21No!
44:52You were supposed to be well out at sea when that happened.
45:03Instead of which, we're less than a mile from Lane's house.
45:05That's as close as you're going to get, my love.
45:06Penny, you stay here with Miss Phillips.
45:08May you go, Tom.
45:08You.
45:09Right here.
45:09But.
45:10No arguments now.
45:11Yes, sir.
45:12That's better.
45:12Take my gun.
45:13Our guns, if you will remember, my love, were confiscated by the police.
45:16Not all of them, Miss.
45:18If you wouldn't mind just turning your head to a second.
45:22I carried this just in peace.
45:28Good work, Penny.
45:29Brilliant idea.
45:30I'd rather like it, Tom.
45:32Goodbye, darling.
45:33Somehow or other.
45:34We're always saying goodbye.
45:35Let's hope this will be the last time.
45:36Let's hope it won't.
45:39Take good care of it, Penny.
45:40With my life, sir.
45:42Right outside, darling.
45:42Come along, Elsie.
45:43Be careful, Hugh.
45:44Sit down.
46:11Transmit this in cold for our London agents.
46:16Well, you enjoyed your dinner?
46:19The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
46:23Let Colonel Nielsen, the gentleman, serve as a model.
46:26A sense of humor in the face of death.
46:29Now I suppose you are ready to tell us about the radio wave disintegrator?
46:32Well, if I have to die, I don't see that I'd gain much by it.
46:36That's right.
46:37Doubly right to make it more emphatic.
46:39Are you suggesting a bargain?
46:42For my life?
46:43Most decidedly.
46:45Well, now, of course, if I were to turn you loose, that would mean that I have to establish new headquarters.
46:50Very difficult thing to do.
46:52I have something you want.
46:56Now, you can sell this disintegrator idea for millions.
46:59Enough to buy a dozen places like this.
47:01Yes, that's true.
47:02But what assurance have I that you're telling the truth?
47:06Well, what assurance have I that you'd turn me loose if I did?
47:10That's a chance you'll have to take.
47:13Is that final?
47:15That's final.
47:17You may proceed.
47:17The radio wave disintegrator is a means by which the signals, either voice or dot and dash code, are reversed in transmission.
47:35The low frequencies becoming high frequencies, and vice versa.
47:39There's nothing new to that, Colonel.
47:41On the contrary, a single word, transmitted in normal code, informs the receiving station of the carrier wave combination being used in this special transmission.
47:56How does it sound, Doctor?
48:00I'll ask a few questions, please.
48:02And let's hope, Colonel, that you have the correct answers.
48:06He promised not to follow them, miss.
48:08Well, I just can't stay here doing nothing.
48:09Of course, miss, if you, uh, decided to have a little scout around, I'd have to follow you, wouldn't I?
48:16An excellent idea, Teddy.
48:17Come on.
48:29Why, dear.
48:30And you cannot explain the means by which the transposed signals are separate from the fluctuating carrier wave?
48:46Unfortunately, no.
48:48Doctor, what do you think?
48:52The gentleman is lying.
48:54Yes, I was afraid so.
48:55Yeah, I'll wait.
48:57Never chance, Algie.
48:58Wait.
48:59You put very little value on your life, Colonel.
49:01It was worth a try.
49:03I'm wondering if you'd tell the truth to save three lives.
49:06I have only one.
49:09I'm referring to your friend Major Gray and his assistant, McTurk.
49:13What do you know about Gray and McTurk?
49:15I have them upstairs.
49:17Their lives depend on you.
49:20Now, I'll drive the bargain.
49:23Furnish us with the information Dr. Sturm says you're withholding,
49:25and I guarantee that you and your friends will be released within a week.
49:30By whom may I ask?
49:32The local police.
49:33They'd be informed.
49:36May I think it over?
49:37May, you have exactly five minutes.
49:43Five minutes.
49:44Five minutes.
50:07Hugh, Hugh, I don't think you're going to go that way.
50:10Quiet, Algie.
50:11The man's chained.
50:12Come on.
50:12I say, Hugh.
50:38He's not at all bad-looking when he's asleep, is he?
50:40Quiet, Algie.
50:41Let me in here.
50:42Yes, help him.
50:42Yes, help him.
50:54They go to hold him, huh?
50:56I think so, Algie.
50:57He'll use this.
51:11You! You!
51:13Close the door, Alcee.
51:19Major!
51:21What's the matter?
51:23You!
51:25You!
51:27You!
51:29You!
51:35Close the door, Alcee.
51:37Major!
51:39Major!
51:41Major Cray! Major Cray!
51:43Still disobeying all those troubles.
51:45Carry on.
51:47This chap's in pretty bad shape.
51:49See if there's some water around here, Alcee.
52:03Your pets seem a little restless tonight.
52:07Yes.
52:09At Hungary.
52:16Well, Colonel, have you decided?
52:19Not yet.
52:21In that case, perhaps we can assist you.
52:23This way, please.
52:37Come on.
52:45Back.
52:58All right, Colonel. Stand back.
53:07I am full bend, Colonel.
53:23You can still save yourself by telling the truth.
53:25All right.
53:27Come on.
53:28Come on.
53:29Up.
53:35Up.
53:48Up the back of the desk. Get up!
53:49Up, let's get him.
53:51Get up.
53:52Get up.
54:01Get up.
54:03Get up.
54:05Get up.
54:07firmly.
54:09Get up.
54:12Get back!
54:15Come on.
54:26I'm going to let my kids survive.
54:31See, Algie, I'm going through that.
54:32Sneak up a little.
54:33Right on, old boy.
54:45Where did he get you?
54:47I have a hob.
54:49Come on, let's get out of here.
54:51Come on out, Garland.
54:53Come on.
54:55Come on, let's get out of here.
54:57Come on out, Garland.
55:01Come on out.
55:15Come on.
55:45Come on.
56:15Come on.
56:17Come on out.
56:20Come on out.
56:22Come on out.
56:28Get in.
56:38Come on out.
56:40Pick up.
56:42Come on out.
56:44Captain Drummond.
56:46Captain Drummond.
56:48Captain Drummond.
56:50Captain Drummond.
56:52Come. Come. Come.
56:57Fine fellow, Drummond.
57:00Captain Drummond.
57:02Captain Drummond.
57:12Fine fellow, Drummond.
57:15I rather like him, sir.
57:30I might have a bow to you.
57:45Just going to SRW kör,
57:59Amen.
