00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:00:59The End
00:01:29I thought you might be interested in this, Colonel Newton.
00:01:35Huh?
00:01:38Hugh C. Drummond, former captain in His Majesty's Royal Air Force,
00:01:43will marry Miss Phyllis Clavering, niece of Mrs. Blanche Clavering,
00:01:47in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday next.
00:01:51Greer?
00:01:51That young man has caused me more headaches than any man alive.
00:01:56It's a pity, too.
00:01:58He means so well.
00:02:00You're probably glad he's in Switzerland.
00:02:02He'd only stay there.
00:02:03I'll try and do my work for me.
00:02:06By the way, I want to send a wedding present to Captain Drummond.
00:02:10A book?
00:02:11A book, sir.
00:02:12And on second thought, I think I'll make you two books.
00:02:15One for Drummond, and one for Miss Clavering.
00:02:18And what address, sir?
00:02:30Harry, don't you think my urbing's improving?
00:02:32I really couldn't say so.
00:02:33Maybe he's right, Phyllis.
00:02:35What's this, more loot?
00:02:36Still coming in, sir?
00:02:37Darling, we must get married again and again and again.
00:02:39And again and again.
00:02:40Now, it's all right, here detective.
00:02:43Urus de Brout.
00:02:44This is de Brouten.
00:02:46Now, you're done.
00:02:46This is in Ordnum.
00:02:47Yeah.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49Now, who sent that?
00:02:52To Bulldog Drummond with felicitations of the drones club.
00:02:56Now, what do you say it is, Tenny?
00:02:58Eros, the Greek god of love, sir.
00:03:00Why, Tenny?
00:03:01Research work, Mr.
00:03:03Crossword puzzles.
00:03:04Have you any suggestions, Tenny?
00:03:06Oh, I think it deserves to meet with an accident, sir.
00:03:08A colossal idea.
00:03:09I'd rather like it, sir.
00:03:11Well, there's something else from Colonel Nielsen.
00:03:14How to grow tobacco in Rhodesia and like it.
00:03:16It's a funny book to give us.
00:03:17I beg your pardon, sir.
00:03:18That's meant for you individually.
00:03:20Colonel Nielsen sent the other one for Miss Clevering.
00:03:24Travels with a donkey.
00:03:27To be read on the honeymoon.
00:03:30Very funny, sir.
00:03:32We won't need you till dinner time, Tenny.
00:03:34Who will look after the wedding person, sir?
00:03:35A hair detective will watch them.
00:03:37And who will watch the detective, sir?
00:03:40Come on, darling.
00:03:41Oh, Tenny, have you seen my Aunt Blanche?
00:03:43She's outside with Sir Raymond Blentree.
00:03:50Got it.
00:03:51Oh, that's fine.
00:03:54Now, now it's your turn.
00:03:57There.
00:03:57Oh, my nephew, niece.
00:04:08That is, my niece and my nephew to me.
00:04:10He isn't really my nephew yet, you understand.
00:04:13Children, I want you to meet one of my oldest and dearest friends.
00:04:17He's the head of a huge diamond syndicate.
00:04:19Sir Raymond...
00:04:20Sir Raymond...
00:04:23Sir Raymond Blantree.
00:04:24Oh, yes.
00:04:25Of course.
00:04:27Sir Raymond Drummond, this is...
00:04:29Hold on, Clevering.
00:04:30Miss Blantree.
00:04:32This is serious.
00:04:36Packages for Captain Drummond.
00:04:38Here.
00:04:38More loot, darling.
00:04:50Oh, well, this must be valuable.
00:04:52Look at all the insurance stamps.
00:04:53That's from Gwen and Alzie.
00:04:58Oh, lovely, isn't it?
00:04:59Where did that come from?
00:05:01From Gwen Longwood.
00:05:01What did she say, Hugh?
00:05:04Dear Hugh and Phyllis,
00:05:05look what Daddy just made in his laboratory.
00:05:07Oh, I thought it was real.
00:05:08Her father made this?
00:05:10You mustn't tell anybody who made it because it's a secret.
00:05:13Because it...
00:05:14This is my wedding gift.
00:05:16Silly old Alzie has something else,
00:05:17but he's bringing it in person
00:05:18because they won't let him ship it.
00:05:20Don't get married until we get there, Gwen.
00:05:22Now, what?
00:05:23In the world, do you suppose it could be?
00:05:25Good, yeah.
00:05:37You have a perfect right to be alone for a minute or two.
00:05:40Well, not if Aunt Blanche knows anything about it.
00:05:45You happy, darling?
00:05:47Of course I am.
00:05:48Why, of course?
00:05:50Well, because you're you, I suppose.
00:05:53And is that the only reason?
00:05:55Well, because we're together
00:05:57and you've given up all those crazy, reckless adventures
00:06:01just to settle down with me.
00:06:03Yes, dear, that's right.
00:06:05You promise, don't forget me.
00:06:06No, I won't forget.
00:06:08You may consider me settled down.
00:06:10And after the honeymoon,
00:06:11we'll buy a house in the country
00:06:13and have a big garden and...
00:06:14and the Drummond Hollyhocks will be famous
00:06:16in every flower show in England.
00:06:18You're not serious.
00:06:19I'm serious about you.
00:06:21It better be.
00:06:22I won't have my affections tampered with.
00:06:25Cook calls these the spice of loveless.
00:06:40Would you like one?
00:06:41What do you think, Kenny?
00:06:42Well, I hardly think it's necessary in your case, Miss.
00:06:46Dinner is about to be announced.
00:06:47Come on, I'm family.
00:06:48Where have you been, Roberts?
00:06:51I've been trying to find you all the afternoon.
00:06:52Well, I only just got your message.
00:06:54I've just seen an artificial diamond
00:06:55that looked absolutely real to me.
00:06:58Where is it?
00:06:58In there, among the wedding persons.
00:07:00We must get hold of it at any cost
00:07:02and submit it to all possible tests.
00:07:04Well, I'll do my best.
00:07:06Sir Raymond.
00:07:07Oh, Sir Raymond, you're neglecting me shamefully.
00:07:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:11Excuse me, please.
00:07:12I've ordered you to get a message.
00:07:14Dinner.
00:07:15Oh, come, sir.
00:07:18Raymond, come, children.
00:07:44Hurry!
00:07:44Is it?
00:07:48Oh, the doorbells are our presents.
00:08:04I know.
00:08:05See who it is, Kenny.
00:08:08Here we are.
00:08:09Hello, hello, hello.
00:08:10Oh, Wendy and Aaron.
00:08:12Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:08:14Mr. and Mrs. Algernon Longworth.
00:08:18And Annabelle.
00:08:23There we are.
00:08:23Look at him.
00:08:24Isn't he terrific?
00:08:25No home is complete without one.
00:08:27Oh, that beautiful, crazy wedding present.
00:08:30Did you get the other packets, I guess?
00:08:32Oh, yes, dear.
00:08:32It was so sweet of you.
00:08:34But, darling.
00:08:35Oh, come on.
00:08:35I can't wait to show you the rest of the presents.
00:08:37Here you are, Kenny.
00:08:38She'll call them the loot.
00:08:40They're all right here.
00:08:43We'll show you, please.
00:08:48Shoo.
00:08:49Oh, shoo.
00:08:50Oh, shoo.
00:08:51Oh.
00:08:52Now, what are you doing?
00:08:54Oh, some of them are perfect.
00:08:55They're perfect, they're not perfect.
00:08:56I've got a little package.
00:08:58What?
00:08:58Well, it is a pizza.
00:09:12You know, Kenny, I'm beginning to like that bird.
00:09:14Oh, this is from Hugh's aunt.
00:09:15And Hugh, Hugh, it's gone.
00:09:20Huh?
00:09:21Oh, what's gone?
00:09:22Well, that diamond, that gorgeous glass diamond that Queen sent me.
00:09:24Come on, Bill.
00:09:25Well, it wasn't glass, Phyllis.
00:09:27What?
00:09:28It wasn't, I tell you.
00:09:30Daddy made it in his laboratory.
00:09:32It's a real, honest-to-goodness diamond.
00:09:34Absolutely, on my word of honor.
00:09:36Professor Goodman can take a couple of shillings worth of towel-smelling chemicals,
00:09:39and out comes a diamond as big as a plum.
00:09:41It's unnatural, of course, but it's real.
00:09:55Actually, he's dead.
00:09:57Dead.
00:09:59Where's the police?
00:10:00Oh, Ned!
00:10:01Oh!
00:10:03Get a doctor, somebody!
00:10:05Call the police.
00:10:06The police!
00:10:07Oh!
00:10:07Oh, Sir Raymond, Sir Raymond!
00:10:09Where's Sir Raymond?
00:10:10Somebody get a doctor!
00:10:11Yes, yes, yes, Ali.
00:10:11Can you go?
00:10:12My uncle, my brother, please.
00:10:13But I am telling you what happened.
00:10:15We came popping into the room.
00:10:16Everything was strictly top-hole.
00:10:17We're bingo.
00:10:18The jolly old birds tumble right on the poor fellow, yes.
00:10:21Be cold as a cucumber he was.
00:10:22Conk right on the visa.
00:10:23And it's...
00:10:24What?
00:10:25Why don't I speak English?
00:10:27I said, listen, officer, this is no time for joking.
00:10:29We have a gory corpse lying on the floor in here.
00:10:31Get in here, there.
00:10:32Oh!
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:35Oh!
00:10:36Oh!
00:10:36Oh!
00:10:36Oh!
00:10:37Oh!
00:10:37Oh!
00:10:37Oh!
00:10:38Oh!
00:10:38Oh!
00:10:39Oh!
00:10:39Oh!
00:10:40Oh!
00:10:40Oh!
00:10:41Oh!
00:10:41I've never heard of such a thing.
00:10:43Well, perhaps he stepped out for a walk or something.
00:10:45In a way, he has, miss.
00:10:46What's that, Penny?
00:10:47Sir Raymond and his secretary, Mr. Roberts, have left for London, sir.
00:10:50London?
00:10:51Quick, look up the trains.
00:10:52I know them, sir.
00:10:53What's the next through train?
00:10:54The next through train has just left, sir.
00:10:56Get my car ready.
00:10:57Very good, sir.
00:10:58Oh, no!
00:11:01It's all right.
00:11:02The police have left.
00:11:03The police?
00:11:04Oh!
00:11:04I can't believe that Sir Raymond would rush away like that without even leaving the north
00:11:09for me.
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:11Oh!
00:11:11Oh!
00:11:12You, where are you going?
00:11:13Well, it's Sir Raymond.
00:11:14He's got the diamond.
00:11:14Do you know who Sir Raymond is?
00:11:16Well, he's the head of the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate.
00:11:18Yes, I know.
00:11:19And if you think that a man of his wealth and position would stoop to stealing an imitation
00:11:24diamond...
00:11:24But he's afraid of the real one.
00:11:26This artificial diamond may ruin an industry and send Sir Raymond and his stockholders to the
00:11:29poorhouse.
00:11:30You mean my diamond stocks might go down?
00:11:33Well, if they can make diamonds cheaply in a laboratory, they'll be as worthless as pebbles.
00:11:37And Sir Raymond knows that.
00:11:39Oh, well, what do you think he'll do?
00:11:41Well, he's off to a good start with a murder.
00:11:43I'll be back soon, darling.
00:11:45Hugh!
00:11:46Oh!
00:11:47Hugh, you can't go now.
00:11:48Not almost on our wedding day.
00:11:50The police will do what has to be done.
00:11:51I'll be back very soon, and Algie will take care of everything.
00:11:54Oh, of course, I'll attend to the police when they get here, but what do I do exactly?
00:11:58You understand, dear?
00:12:00Hugh Drummond, if you go now, you needn't come back again ever.
00:12:03I must go.
00:12:04All right, then, go.
00:12:05Play cops and robbers all your life.
00:12:07I never want to see you again.
00:12:08I hope you...
00:12:10There's Kenny.
00:12:11Goodbye, dear.
00:12:14Goodbye, everybody.
00:12:15Goodbye.
00:12:17Algie.
00:12:18Algie, run and catch him.
00:12:19It's here that he wears this, and he keeps warm and dry, and nothing happens to him.
00:12:23I'm telling you, Mr. Lomar.
00:12:25You're sure you don't mind my pet?
00:12:26What good will it do me?
00:12:29Goodbye.
00:12:30Goodbye.
00:12:32Oh, what'll we do?
00:12:34We're a railway guide, Roberts.
00:13:05Yes.
00:13:09Well, what are you going to do?
00:13:11I'm merely taking an obvious precaution.
00:13:14Precaution? Oh, against customs.
00:13:17We've got a cable ahead of the next stuff.
00:13:20Arranged an emergency meeting of the syndicate at my house in London.
00:13:24Let me have the time.
00:13:34Let's go.
00:13:56Now, Tenny, you'd better stay here and look after the car.
00:13:58I'd rather look after you, sir.
00:13:59Good idea, Tenny.
00:14:00I don't like it, sir.
00:14:01Oh, watch it!
00:14:04Now to breeze in on Sir Raymond, huh?
00:14:09We'll break in on with the dawn, my friend.
00:14:11The hour when dead men walk and sick men die.
00:14:13Oh, please, sir.
00:14:14Besides, I've got to figure out how to get him away from his compartment
00:14:17so that you can search it, Alfie.
00:14:18Right-ho.
00:14:22Will you tell Mr. Drummond I wish to speak to him?
00:14:24Sir Raymond Blanford to see you, sir.
00:14:26Ah, ask him to come in.
00:14:29Will you please come in?
00:14:30No, I'd rather see him in the vestibule.
00:14:31He says he'd rather see you in the vestibule.
00:14:35That's very kind of him.
00:14:37Now's your chance, Alfie.
00:14:42You wait, sir, Tenny.
00:14:44I'll take a look at Blanford's compartment.
00:14:48Sir Raymond?
00:14:49Yes, I saw you come on board, Drummond.
00:14:51Is anything wrong?
00:14:52What do you think?
00:14:53I, uh, I don't understand.
00:14:56What made you change your plans about the wedding?
00:14:58A little matter of effect of a diamond.
00:15:00Yes.
00:15:01And a murder.
00:15:02Murder?
00:15:03Drummond, you're wasting your time.
00:15:15Can't involve me.
00:15:17I know nothing whatever about the murder of that detective.
00:15:20And the theft of the diamond?
00:15:21Do you imagine anyone will find it in my possession?
00:15:24No, you wouldn't be so careless, would you?
00:15:26Take my advice, my young friend.
00:15:29Go back to Geneva.
00:15:30On the contrast, Raymond, I shall accompany you to London.
00:15:33With a police escort, if it can be arranged.
00:15:44Roberts?
00:15:45Well, what happened?
00:15:47You never told me that detective was killed.
00:15:49Killed?
00:15:50You must have had a skull as thin as paper.
00:15:53I've told you before, Roberts.
00:15:54You told me to get the diamond at any cost.
00:15:57Alfie, what'd you find?
00:15:58Nothing.
00:15:59I thought as much.
00:16:00What are we going to do now?
00:16:01The cable, Colonel Easton.
00:16:02We've got the man.
00:16:03Where?
00:16:07Cable ground from Captain Drummond, sir.
00:16:09Put it down.
00:16:10Who'd you say?
00:16:11Captain Drummond, sir.
00:16:12Oh.
00:16:13Thank you me for the presence.
00:16:15That's close.
00:16:15Please ask French authorities to arrest Sir Raymond Blanthropy, London Express, Hugh Drummond.
00:16:21So that's his answer to my little joke with the books.
00:16:28I've never seen anything so transparent in my life.
00:16:34That's so funny, Greer.
00:16:36I'm sure I don't know, sir.
00:16:37You will.
00:16:38You will.
00:16:39And so will Captain Drummond arrest the Raymond Blanthropy.
00:16:43Take a cable ground.
00:16:44Well, Perry.
00:16:52Then it comes.
00:16:53What happened?
00:16:54We've stopped at the station, sir.
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:59How's it going for Captain Drummond?
00:17:00Ah, good old Nielsen.
00:17:01That's probably his answer to my cable ground.
00:17:02Good old Nielsen.
00:17:03He never fails.
00:17:06Impossible grant your request.
00:17:08But we'll arrest Santa Claus and Snow White if you demand it.
00:17:11Nielsen.
00:17:13Well, that's that.
00:17:15Looks as though we'll have to give up, then.
00:17:16Is that your opinion, Tony?
00:17:17It's just occurred to me, sir.
00:17:19If we have another shot at finding Red Diamond and find it,
00:17:22the French police are bound to take notice of that, sir.
00:17:25But I searched with a fine tooth comb.
00:17:27Tony's right.
00:17:28We've got to have a showdown right now.
00:17:37I think they've gone.
00:17:40They can't have gone far.
00:17:42Quick, Tony, get the bags.
00:17:51Is there an airport around here?
00:17:53Yes, sir.
00:17:53Quite a small one.
00:17:54That's where they went, then.
00:17:56Tony, get a taxi.
00:17:57Here, sir.
00:17:58Here, Al.
00:17:59Taxi.
00:18:00Taxi means...
00:18:01Watch you.
00:18:07We've got to get to London.
00:18:11Oh, monsieur, it's impossible.
00:18:12You keep planes with Charlie, don't you?
00:18:13We do, monsieur, but our last one was just hard.
00:18:16Uh, two English gentlemen in a great hurry to get to London.
00:18:19I'll pay you 10,000 francs for the use of a fast three-seater.
00:18:22Have you a French license?
00:18:23Oh, no, but can't you think of a man who might do it?
00:18:25There is one.
00:18:27Over there.
00:18:28Raoul.
00:18:37Pauline Croydon, air taxi F-X-O-Y-U.
00:18:45Pauline Croydon, I'm within your radio beam.
00:18:47Can you give me my position?
00:18:49Give me my position.
00:18:50Give me my radio bearing.
00:18:52Croydon calling French air taxi F-X-O-Y-U.
00:18:56Croydon calling French air taxi F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:01Ceiling here zero.
00:19:02Ceiling absolutely zero.
00:19:05Turn back to Les Borgers.
00:19:06A-F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:11Ceiling or not, I'm coming down.
00:19:13Give me a radio bearing.
00:19:15Come on, Ennis, I know you and I've landed blind before.
00:19:18This is Drummond speaking.
00:19:19Will you give me that bearing?
00:19:21Who says I can't?
00:19:22You crazy man, turn on your lights.
00:19:23I'm coming down.
00:19:27Suggest you hold Blanchard until I arrive by plane.
00:19:29Hugh Drummond.
00:19:32Griez.
00:19:33Air Croydon Airport, right away.
00:19:34This is Scott and Yard.
00:19:35Scott and Yard cutting in on Croydon Wavelength.
00:19:39Police calling air taxi F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:43This is an official order.
00:19:45An official order.
00:19:46Do not attempt to land.
00:19:48Landing permission refused.
00:19:50Return at once across channel.
00:19:52I am coming down.
00:19:53We'll land here.
00:19:58We'll land here.
00:19:58What is it?
00:20:22Professor Goodman is expecting me.
00:20:23I am Sir Raymond Blanchard, the Metropolitan Diamonds Institute.
00:20:27Mr. Steiner made the appointment for you.
00:20:28Oh, yes, sir.
00:20:29But he didn't say there'd be anyone with you.
00:20:32Oh, Mr. Roberts is my associate.
00:20:34Oh, very good, sir.
00:20:36This is a matter of utmost delicacy.
00:20:39Very interesting.
00:20:47Oh, would you care to read my notes?
00:20:51You know, sometimes even I can't read my own writing.
00:20:55Oh, yes, sir.
00:21:25Excuse me.
00:21:46As a matter of fact, I could probably make these diamonds for a shilling each.
00:21:51Now, if you'll put these on, gentlemen, please.
00:22:02Is there any danger?
00:22:05Danger?
00:22:06Oh, I see you refer to my wall.
00:22:08Well, before I learned how to cool diamonds quickly, a small stone exploded.
00:22:13Sometimes they explode even now.
00:22:15However, I have, I think, eliminated that possibility.
00:22:18Now, gentlemen, are you ready?
00:22:23Stand back.
00:22:23Stand back.
00:22:26Stand back.
00:22:27Stand back.
00:22:52Gentlemen, you have been present at the birth of a diamond.
00:23:22Now, after a few seconds cooling, you shall see yourself.
00:23:46There, gentlemen, is your diamond.
00:23:48That isn't a diamond.
00:23:50Perfect.
00:23:52About 15 carat.
00:24:05Oh, size makes no difference.
00:24:07If I had larger equipment, like Dr. Petulian's...
00:24:10Petulian?
00:24:11Yes, Petulian, the American scientist.
00:24:14I could make diamonds as large as ostrich eggs.
00:24:17Well, then why don't you?
00:24:18Because Petulian is my rival, and I don't want him to know yet what I've done.
00:24:22Professor, my colleagues and I will pay you 50,000 pounds for the exclusive control of your process.
00:24:29A bad bargain, gentlemen.
00:24:31After a few weeks, my process will be free to everyone.
00:24:35If you publish this formula, the most precious jewels in the world will be worth no more than pebbles.
00:24:41Yes, but diamonds will still be beautiful.
00:24:43What woman will want to wear diamonds then?
00:24:45We are ready to pay you 50,000 pounds to destroy your notes, to suppress your secret.
00:24:51I am only interested in being the first man to make a perfect large diamond.
00:24:56Well, name your figure. Anything up to half a million pounds.
00:25:01That means power, security, leisure.
00:25:04But I have all that I want.
00:25:05Do you mean to say that you value your name on a scientific paper more than half a million pounds in cash?
00:25:12Yes, yes. That's exactly the case.
00:25:17We ask that you consider the matter for a dead.
00:25:20Gentlemen, my decision is final.
00:25:26This is more serious than you think, Professor.
00:25:29Yes, business is serious, but I...
00:25:31This is serious yourself.
00:25:32My associates must protect their investments in one way or another.
00:25:35And while you are thinking it over, I suggest that you refrain from making more diamonds.
00:25:41Good morning.
00:25:44I am in time, Sir Raymond.
00:25:46Good morning, Captain Drummond.
00:25:47Nice to see you again.
00:25:48And your friend, too.
00:25:50Permit me to return your property.
00:25:56And you searched his compartment.
00:25:57A book's no place to hide a diamond.
00:25:58The trouble is, Sir Raymond didn't know that.
00:25:59Oh.
00:26:00Stupid of him, wasn't it?
00:26:01Oh, it's you, Drummond.
00:26:02I know, Jay.
00:26:03So, Sir Raymond threatened you.
00:26:04Definitely.
00:26:05Yes, sir.
00:26:06Yes, sir.
00:26:07Yes, sir.
00:26:08Yes, sir.
00:26:09Yes, sir.
00:26:10Yes, sir.
00:26:11Yes, sir.
00:26:12Yes, sir.
00:26:13Yes, sir.
00:26:14Yes, sir.
00:26:15Yes, sir.
00:26:16Yes, sir.
00:26:17Yes, sir.
00:26:18Yes, sir.
00:26:19Yes, sir.
00:26:20Yes, sir.
00:26:21Yes.
00:26:22Yes, sir.
00:26:23Yes, sir.
00:26:24I'll be happy with you.
00:26:25Definitely.
00:26:26What do you suggest that I do?
00:26:29You sell your formula?
00:26:31I will not.
00:26:33Oh, why don't you take a trip and miss the Royal Society meeting?
00:26:38On these notes, I'm preparing a paper that will make my name ring round the world.
00:26:42It's safe for you to walk about the streets of Vernon with those notes in your pocket.
00:26:45Why don't let me keep them for you in my safe deposit box?
00:26:47No, thank you, Captain Drummond.
00:26:49I'll not be intimidated by anybody.
00:26:52The colossal impudence of them.
00:26:54Stop making diamonds.
00:26:55I will not stop.
00:26:56I'll make a bigger diamond than the Cullinor.
00:26:59Or even, even the Cullinan.
00:27:01I'll make the biggest diamond in the world.
00:27:09Dr. Petulian's laboratory.
00:27:11But he's very busy.
00:27:12Yes.
00:27:13Doctor?
00:27:14It's Professor Goodman.
00:27:15Professor Goodman?
00:27:16Well, I don't see why he should call me.
00:27:18Yes?
00:27:19Yes.
00:27:20How are you, Professor?
00:27:21Fine.
00:27:22What?
00:27:23You've made a 15-carat diamond.
00:27:25Fine work, Professor.
00:27:27Congratulations.
00:27:28Yes, I understand.
00:27:29Well, no one else.
00:27:30Well, no one else.
00:27:31No one else.
00:27:32Hello, Professor.
00:27:33I'm going to get to you.
00:27:34Follow me.
00:27:35Yes?
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:37How are you, Professor?
00:27:38How are you, Professor?
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:40Fine.
00:27:41Fine.
00:27:42Fine.
00:27:43Fine.
00:27:44Fine.
00:27:45Fine.
00:27:46Fine.
00:27:47Fine.
00:27:48Fine.
00:27:49Fine.
00:27:50Fine.
00:27:51Fine.
00:27:52Well, no, not at the present time.
00:27:53I'll be glad to let you use my equipment.
00:27:56Yes.
00:27:57What time?
00:27:59Very well, I'll bring the equipment over to you at 9 o'clock tonight.
00:28:03Yes.
00:28:04Goodbye.
00:28:05You can't do that, Captain Drummond.
00:28:10Tell the commissioner it's urgent.
00:28:11I've already given him that minute.
00:28:13Well, tell him it won't take five minutes.
00:28:15He says it won't take five minutes, sir.
00:28:19I came out of the minute!
00:28:20I thought I told you not to land in England.
00:28:22No, Colonel, you told me not to land at Croydon, and I obeyed you to the letter.
00:28:25I landed at Basingstück.
00:28:27Drummond, will you please go away?
00:28:29You don't want me to pull out when I know a man's going to be murdered.
00:28:32You always have to interfere.
00:28:33Who's going to be murdered?
00:28:34Professor Bernard Goodman, number 24, St. Laban's Road.
00:28:37And who's going to do the job?
00:28:38I can tell you that, too. Sir Raymond Blantry.
00:28:41I don't see what's so funny.
00:28:43Come with me, my dear fellow. Come with me.
00:28:50Sir Raymond, this impetuous young man has just warned me
00:28:55that you're about to murder Professor Goodman.
00:28:57Really?
00:28:58I can't believe it.
00:28:58Sir Raymond has just asked me to have Professor Goodman placed in protective custody.
00:29:02You see, Drummond, I, too, share your feeling that the dear Professor is in danger.
00:29:07But you can't arrest an innocent man.
00:29:09Drummond, you're a young fool.
00:29:10The manufacture of diamonds is as dangerous to the Empire as counterfeiting.
00:29:15Message for you, sir.
00:29:16Huh?
00:29:16Hmm, the situation's taken a new turn, gentlemen.
00:29:22The Home Secretary instructs me to give police cooperation to Goodman
00:29:25and to the American scientist, Dr. Petulian.
00:29:28Petulian, did you say?
00:29:29It appears that these gentlemen are about to attempt the manufacture of a diamond
00:29:33that will outshine the crown jewels of the Empire.
00:29:35Well, that's that.
00:29:37I must be on my way.
00:29:38I have an appointment.
00:29:39With Professor Goodman?
00:29:40Curiosity, my young friend, is reputed to have killed a cat.
00:29:45Drummond!
00:29:45Will you please go away?
00:29:47Go back and get married, or whatever it was.
00:29:49Stop minding other people's business.
00:29:52Stop on the length of Raymond Blanthropy.
00:29:53He's one of the most important men of the country.
00:29:55And a murderer.
00:29:56What?
00:29:57Why do you know that?
00:29:58I don't know it, Colonel.
00:29:58I only suspect it.
00:29:59You do?
00:30:00Get out.
00:30:00Get out!
00:30:01Around.
00:30:04Colonel.
00:30:04Huh?
00:30:05Your tie is quick.
00:30:06Wait!
00:30:09Hello?
00:30:10Hello?
00:30:10Division 5?
00:30:12Fandellis.
00:30:12For two of your best men on the house at 24th and Laban's Road at 9 o'clock tonight.
00:30:16All right.
00:30:19Professor Goodman are rivals in a process for making artificial diamonds.
00:30:23We've experimented along similar lines, if that's what you mean.
00:30:26And you failed where Goodman has succeeded.
00:30:29At the present it appears so.
00:30:30Your, uh, syndicate is interested in the Goodman process?
00:30:33Very interested.
00:30:34Well, then, why don't you talk to him?
00:30:35We have.
00:30:36We made him a very handsome author.
00:30:38But Professor Goodman seems to think more of the glory of his discovery.
00:30:41Well, if he says he won't sell, he won't sell.
00:30:43He's a very stubborn old man.
00:30:44I understand you have an appointment with him.
00:30:48Yes.
00:30:49I'm letting him use some of my equipment.
00:30:51I'm taking it to him tonight.
00:30:52Nine.
00:30:52We can make it worth your while not to, uh, keep that appointment.
00:30:57Not for what reason.
00:30:59Goodman's formula must be destroyed.
00:31:01I see.
00:31:02You want the formula destroyed.
00:31:04Don't you, Dr. Batulian?
00:31:07I have no objection.
00:31:08Well, we can help you, Doctor.
00:31:09Yes.
00:31:10Pack this.
00:31:12We'll pay you 5,000 pounds to let us keep your appointment with Goodman this evening.
00:31:175,000 pounds?
00:31:19But what if I discover the process myself later?
00:31:21Financial arrangements will be made with you, so that your discovery will never become known.
00:31:27It seems I have no choice, gentlemen.
00:31:29What do you propose?
00:31:36Before we make a bargain, we must understand each other completely.
00:31:40Goodman and his laboratory will be totally destroyed by an explosion.
00:31:45What do you expect me to do?
00:31:47Nothing, except remain in your rooms,
00:31:48so that you'll have an alibi in the event of an investigation.
00:31:52I see.
00:31:54And you two gentlemen will keep my appointment with Professor Goodman.
00:31:57Exactly.
00:31:58I will arrive at nine o'clock, disguised as you.
00:32:02He'll never suspect.
00:32:04Very well.
00:32:05I'll remain here.
00:32:08Good day, gentlemen.
00:32:11Good day.
00:32:12Get the equipment out of this box.
00:32:18Aren't you going to keep your appointment with Professor Goodman?
00:32:20Yes, yes, we'll be there.
00:32:21But we'll be there before nine o'clock.
00:32:24And when Professor Goodman's laboratory is destroyed,
00:32:26they'll find the body of Mr. Roberts.
00:32:29We'll have Professor Goodman at some out-of-the-way place in the country.
00:32:32Oh, I see.
00:32:33Then you're not satisfied with Blantry's 5,000 pounds.
00:32:35I think Blantry will be glad to pay us 50,000 pounds.
00:32:48Oh, Dr. Petulian.
00:32:51How good have you two come?
00:32:52I'm afraid I'm a little ahead of time.
00:32:54Well, better early than late, eh?
00:32:57My equipment.
00:32:58Oh, come in, men.
00:33:00Now, round to the right.
00:33:02Come on.
00:33:05You can go, Mrs. Weavens.
00:33:11I shan't require you any more tonight.
00:33:13Thank you, sir.
00:33:1824, this is the house.
00:33:26Here.
00:33:27Who are you?
00:33:28I'll ask you the same thing, my man.
00:33:30We're keeping an eye on this house tonight.
00:33:32That's who we are.
00:33:33Now, answer the question.
00:33:34I'm the lady what does for Professor Goodman.
00:33:37And these persons just left a path off.
00:33:40But at present, if you've no objection, I'm in search of refreshment.
00:33:58Here.
00:33:59What do you want?
00:34:00I have an appointment with Professor Goodman.
00:34:02What's the name?
00:34:04I am Dr. Petulian.
00:34:08That's right.
00:34:09You can go in.
00:34:11Come in, Mr. Robert.
00:34:30I regret to inform you, sir.
00:34:51Professor Goodman does not answer his doorbell.
00:34:53But I have a try myself, huh?
00:34:54Yeah, I advise against it.
00:34:55Why?
00:34:56There are two constables lurking in the shrubbery, sir.
00:34:59There must be a rare one, though.
00:35:00Tenny, get me a...
00:35:01Will this be of any use, sir?
00:35:03Oh, no, Tenny.
00:35:04What about this, sir?
00:35:05An excellent idea.
00:35:07I rather like it, sir.
00:35:08Now, you wait here.
00:35:09And if the constables start after me, give me a double toot in the horn, right?
00:35:11Right.
00:35:11Two toots, sir?
00:35:12Right.
00:35:12Good, sir.
00:35:13Good evening, gentlemen.
00:35:37Good evening.
00:35:38Good evening, sir.
00:35:40Uh, Captain Drummond, we have special instructions to look for you, sir.
00:35:44Very clever.
00:35:48You better come along with us, sir.
00:35:50I'm rather afraid it should have been two toots, sir.
00:36:04Oh, dear.
00:36:05What are we going to do now?
00:36:07There's a van just stopped outside Professor Goodman's house, sir.
00:36:13Something must be wrong.
00:36:14I'm going in after all.
00:36:15My own father-in-law.
00:36:16I'll go along with you.
00:36:17No, no, no, no.
00:36:17You lie doggo.
00:36:18If you try to follow me, stop them.
00:36:20Stop them, sir.
00:36:20How?
00:36:21Yes.
00:36:22Well, how?
00:36:22You know, just stop them.
00:36:24Oh, yes.
00:36:31Stop them.
00:36:43I see.
00:36:44Do you know if we just...
00:36:45Oh!
00:36:48Stop them, sir.
00:37:01Stop!
00:37:02Stop!
00:37:02Stop!
00:37:03Stop!
00:37:04Stop!
00:37:05Stop!
00:37:06Stop!
00:37:07Stop!
00:37:07Stop!
00:37:08Stop!
00:37:09Stop!
00:37:10Stop!
00:37:11Stop!
00:37:12Stop!
00:37:13Stop!
00:37:14Stop!
00:37:15Stop!
00:37:16Stop!
00:37:17Stop!
00:37:17Stop!
00:37:18There's a car solo in us!
00:37:28Don't walk tight!
00:37:36No!
00:37:48Taxi! Taxi!
00:37:58Watcher!
00:38:12Hugh! Hugh!
00:38:14Time for an excuse to lock you up. Now you're finished!
00:38:17You're trying to bat your way into that house!
00:38:19Colonel, I...
00:38:20Housebreaking is housebreaking!
00:38:21I told you I was only trying to prevent a murder!
00:38:23You always break the law with the best intentions, don't you?
00:38:25Well, let's find you've gone too far!
00:38:27Take him away!
00:38:28All right, Colonel.
00:38:29But after you lock me up, will you search Professor Goodman's house?
00:38:31I will not!
00:38:32There's nothing wrong with Professor Goodman!
00:38:34There's nothing wrong with his house!
00:38:47Hello!
00:38:48What was it?
00:38:49What happened?
00:38:50I got off for a pretty good idea!
00:38:51Let me be quiet!
00:38:52Hello!
00:38:53There's been an explosion, sir!
00:38:55Oh!
00:38:56Where?!
00:38:57There's been an explosion, sir!
00:38:58Oh!
00:38:59I know that!
00:39:00Where?!
00:39:0124th of the Layman's Road, sir!
00:39:02Come on!
00:39:03What shall we do with the prisoner, sir?
00:39:04Bring me along!
00:39:26I told you it wasn't the explosion!
00:39:29Somebody hit me!
00:39:31Easy now!
00:39:32They often get this way in mild concussion cases!
00:39:35They remember a lot of things!
00:39:36A lot of things that aren't so!
00:39:38The only one?
00:39:39The only one so far, sir?
00:39:40Identified?
00:39:41Professor Goodman, sir!
00:39:42His son-in-law identified the watch and shoes!
00:39:45Well, Drummond, I owe you!
00:39:46Drummond!
00:39:47Big Bob, he seems to be gone!
00:39:49All right!
00:39:50Well, all of you standing here!
00:39:51Go and get him!
00:39:52No one's allowed in here, sir!
00:39:54Professor Goodman's a friend of mine!
00:39:55Sorry, sir!
00:39:56Look at the laboratory and the whole rear of the house blown to bits!
00:39:59Can't let anyone in!
00:40:00I told you fellas to stay back!
00:40:02Well, that's all!
00:40:03I want to get a picture!
00:40:04Well, I can now and stay with you!
00:40:07Yeah!
00:40:08Where are you going?
00:40:09I don't know!
00:40:10I don't know!
00:40:11You'd better come across the inspector!
00:40:14Well, I'm Dr. Petunian!
00:40:16I'm looking for Professor Goodman's house!
00:40:18I have an appointment with him!
00:40:20Appointment, eh?
00:40:21What time?
00:40:22At, uh, nine o'clock!
00:40:23He, uh, sent an express van for me and my equipment!
00:40:27Nine o'clock and you arrive here now?
00:40:29Well, I'm trying to tell you that the men drove me for miles through the side streets and...
00:40:35There he is!
00:40:37The blackguard!
00:40:38There he is!
00:40:39What do you mean?
00:40:40Why, he was the man that called on Professor Goodman earlier this evening!
00:40:44Impossible!
00:40:45I haven't seen Professor Goodman in years!
00:40:48Oh, I did speak to him on the telephone!
00:40:50And you didn't call to this house tonight?
00:40:52Oh, as heaven is!
00:40:53My witness!
00:40:54I pray this is a matter for a majesty to decide!
00:40:56Sergeant!
00:40:57You can't do this to me!
00:40:58Oh, I can't, eh?
00:40:59You can, but you shouldn't, Inspector!
00:41:01Oh, call me Inspector!
00:41:02What is all about, anyway?
00:41:04He sneaked through the lines!
00:41:06It was popping about in the house, sir!
00:41:08I confess.
00:41:09But I had a look around before your men trampled everything into the dust.
00:41:12And I found some...
00:41:14Some bits of hair!
00:41:15Obviously, part of a false beard or wig!
00:41:18In the name I sainted out!
00:41:20Someone came here disguised as Dr. Petunian!
00:41:22Oh, in a packing case full of TNT!
00:41:24Now, if you've quite finished with me, Inspector...
00:41:28Don't call me Inspector!
00:41:30Sorry.
00:41:31May I be on my way?
00:41:33With pleasure.
00:41:43You're not eating your kipper, sir.
00:41:45They're quite nice.
00:41:46Penny, don't you remember anything about the van you tried to follow?
00:41:49Not exactly, sir.
00:41:51I'm sure I should know it if I saw it again.
00:41:53Isn't Mr. Longworth breakfasting this morning, sir?
00:41:56He was up on the way hours ago.
00:41:57He's out at the airport hoping to meet Mrs. Longworth.
00:41:59But there's no airliner scheduled, sir.
00:42:01I know.
00:42:10Good morning.
00:42:11Good morning, Penny.
00:42:13They did charter a plane.
00:42:16Hugh.
00:42:17What really happened?
00:42:18Well, Gwen, there was an explosion and...
00:42:19Well, nobody seems to know exactly what happened.
00:42:20Did...
00:42:21Did he suffer much?
00:42:23It must have been all over in a fraction of a second.
00:42:24But the identification was very difficult, Gwen, and...
00:42:25You mean the police?
00:42:26Aren't you sure it was, Daddy?
00:42:27Well, they seem to be sure, but...
00:42:28But you're not.
00:42:29Well, now, Gwen, really, I...
00:42:30You think my father may be alive?
00:42:31Come, dear.
00:42:32We'll take you to the hotel.
00:42:33Oh, I just know Daddy's alive.
00:42:34Well, I just know Daddy's alive.
00:42:35Well, I just know Daddy's alive.
00:42:36What really happened?
00:42:37What really happened?
00:42:38Well, Gwen, there was an explosion and...
00:42:39But the identification was very difficult, Gwen, and...
00:42:41You mean the police?
00:42:43Aren't you sure it was, Daddy?
00:42:45Well, they seem to be sure, but...
00:42:47But you're not.
00:42:48Well, now, Gwen, really, I...
00:42:50You think my father may be alive?
00:42:52Come, dear.
00:42:53We'll take you to the hotel.
00:42:55Oh, I just know Daddy's alive.
00:42:57You'll find him.
00:42:59Algy will help.
00:43:00We'll always help.
00:43:09Tell me, we've got to do something.
00:43:12Can you remember anything about the third man
00:43:13who came out of the house
00:43:14after Mr. Longworth was hit on the head?
00:43:15It was very, very dark, sir.
00:43:17But I believe he had a beard, sir.
00:43:20I'll see who it is, sir.
00:43:24I must see Captain Drummond at once.
00:43:25It's very important.
00:43:27I'll see who it is, sir.
00:43:33I must see Captain Drummond at once.
00:43:36It's very important.
00:43:38I'm Dr. Petulian.
00:43:45I want you to sit down, Doctor.
00:43:59The late Professor Goodwin seems to have had a premonition
00:44:01of what was to happen to him.
00:44:02Yes?
00:44:03A week ago, he sent me a letter
00:44:05requesting that in the event of his death
00:44:06I was to carry on his diamond experiments.
00:44:08I see.
00:44:09But how does this affect me?
00:44:11Goodwin gave his precious notes to you for safekeeping.
00:44:14On the contrary, Doctor.
00:44:15I asked him to do so, but he refused.
00:44:17I know you have those notes, Captain Drummond.
00:44:21to ask for some, hey, this.
00:44:23Dear Drummond.
00:44:24In the event of anything happening to me,
00:44:27will you please turn over my notes
00:44:28to my old friend and colleague, Dr. Max Petulian, Bernard Goodwin.
00:44:30Dear Drummond, in the event of anything happening to me,
00:44:33will you please turn over my notes to my old friend and colleague,
00:44:36Dr. Max Bertullian, Bernard Goodman.
00:44:40You'll give me the notes at once, please.
00:44:44Yes, they're in my safe deposit box.
00:44:46I could go there with you.
00:44:48Yes, of course, but I should like to have this handwriting checked
00:44:51just to make sure it is, Professor Goodman.
00:44:52I should wish there's so little time left before the meeting in the Royal Society.
00:44:58Yes, but perhaps you'll come back, say, 4 o'clock this afternoon?
00:45:024 o'clock.
00:45:04I'll be here.
00:45:18Penny?
00:45:19Yes, sir.
00:45:20Give me some writing papers, will you?
00:45:22Yes, sir.
00:45:28Green plain paper in the envelope, sir?
00:45:30Isn't that rather risky?
00:45:31There's no time for anything else.
00:45:33How many guests are you expecting, sir?
00:45:35Only two.
00:45:36Tea or whiskey and soda, sir?
00:45:38Neither, Tony.
00:45:39You'd better stay within core with a revolver.
00:45:41Very good, sir.
00:45:50Now, come in, Inspector.
00:45:51Don't call me, Inspector!
00:45:52Well, what'd you call me down here for?
00:45:55Where's that letter I phoned you about?
00:45:57I suppose you'll say it's a forgery.
00:45:59Not at all.
00:46:00Gwen Longworth, Sir Father's handwriting.
00:46:02Then go ahead.
00:46:03Give Dr. Petulian the notes.
00:46:05I can't.
00:46:06You see, Professor Goodman didn't leave them to me.
00:46:08What?
00:46:08If Goodman didn't leave them, why should he?
00:46:10What?
00:46:11Exactly.
00:46:13Now, wait.
00:46:14I thought you would.
00:46:16But only for a few minutes.
00:46:17Goodman.
00:46:17Goodman.
00:46:22It's probably obvious Petulian isn't coming here.
00:46:27Just wait.
00:46:27I can't wait.
00:46:28I might have known it would be like this.
00:46:30Dr. Drummond!
00:46:31What?
00:46:31Why don't you go back to Switzerland?
00:46:32The man who called on me this morning couldn't have been the real Petulian.
00:46:35What are you talking about?
00:46:36It must have been the man who was impersonating him.
00:46:37And there is the reason why he didn't come back at four o'clock.
00:46:42Colonel, why don't you go back to Scotland Yard or wherever it was and take your police escort with you?
00:46:46You're enough to frighten away Petulian or his impersonator or both.
00:46:50I know!
00:46:51My tie is closed.
00:46:52No!
00:46:58Tenny!
00:47:00Tenny!
00:47:04Won't you come in, Dr. Petulian?
00:47:13What's the meaning of this?
00:47:15I owe you an apology, Doctor.
00:47:17An apology?
00:47:18Why, you are...
00:47:19Please let me explain.
00:47:20Won't you come in and sit down?
00:47:26It all began, Doctor, when a man obviously impersonating you came to my flat this morning with a letter.
00:47:31Letter?
00:47:32Yes.
00:47:36Do you recognize this?
00:47:37That's just what I came to see you about.
00:47:43This letter was stolen from my rooms last night.
00:47:46And you didn't report it to the police?
00:47:48Oh, absolutely not.
00:47:50The police would only have made matters worse by publicizing what Goodman wanted to keep quiet.
00:47:54Now, will you please comply with Goodman's wishes and turn those notes over to me?
00:47:58Yes, of course.
00:47:59Tenny?
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:01Will you get Professor Goodman's notes?
00:48:02Very good, sir.
00:48:06Oh, thank you.
00:48:10Well, I must be off.
00:48:12Good day, sir.
00:48:22Tenny, my hat.
00:48:24And while you're following me, gentlemen, sir, might I snoop around a bit on my motorcycle?
00:48:28You might, Tenny.
00:48:29And turn us along if I'll be back shortly or else I'm telephoning.
00:48:32Very good, sir.
00:48:49He's still following us.
00:48:51Shall I speed up and lose him?
00:48:53I wouldn't lose our friend Drummond for anything in the world.
00:48:58To the village garage, we'll park there.
00:49:21Are you walking all the way to the house?
00:49:24Better if we make Drummond follow us on foot.
00:49:28Come in, Captain Drummond.
00:49:56Good evening.
00:49:56Make yourself alone.
00:50:02The man from whom I rented this house was something of a collector.
00:50:06So I see.
00:50:08His taste brought around the shop instinct.
00:50:10My own hobby.
00:50:12Run as a sherry.
00:50:15I can recommend it to Montiliano very highly.
00:50:28I came here to see Professor Goodman.
00:50:31What?
00:50:32To see Professor Goodman.
00:50:33I'm not a medium.
00:50:36I can't bring back the dead.
00:50:37But Professor Goodman isn't dead, Doctor.
00:50:39At least the letter you gave me from him was written within the last 24 hours.
00:50:43What do you mean?
00:50:44The ink.
00:50:44Oh, of course.
00:50:47The blue-black ink.
00:50:49It changes to black only after a few days.
00:50:51And this ink was still blue.
00:50:57We all make mistakes, don't we?
00:50:59Even Bulldog Drummond makes mistakes now and then.
00:51:03Look out behind you.
00:51:04Oh, no.
00:51:05I won't fall for that one, Doctor.
00:51:06Or whoever you are.
00:51:08Now, if you don't mind, I'll thank you.
00:51:17Hugh Drummond!
00:51:22Ah, Professor.
00:51:24Come on, I'll buy.
00:51:28Yeah, boy.
00:51:29Well, at least I was right.
00:51:32I guess from your letters you were still alive.
00:51:33So far, yes.
00:51:35But I didn't expect you to be trapped here with me.
00:51:38Neither did the toolio.
00:51:45Gentlemen, don't you think it's about time we came to an understanding?
00:51:48Now, you tricked me into bringing Drummond into this.
00:51:50Instead of Goodman's notes, you gave me blank sheets of paper.
00:51:55I want those notes.
00:51:56If you'll release Drummond and take me to my house, I'll give them to you.
00:52:00Where are they?
00:52:01In the pocket.
00:52:02In the pocket of my laboratory jacket.
00:52:05Until your laboratory was blown to smithereens, Professor.
00:52:09Then my notes are destroyed.
00:52:12Unfortunately.
00:52:13With what you've done once, you can do again.
00:52:15But I can't get it done in time for the Royal Society meeting.
00:52:19I'm not interested in the Royal Society.
00:52:21Your process should have been worth millions to you.
00:52:23Well, it'll be worth millions to me.
00:52:25And I mean to have it.
00:52:26It'll take a very long time.
00:52:27Surely not.
00:52:29With an able assistant like Captain Drummond.
00:52:31And if we refuse...
00:52:37Consequences will be unpleasant.
00:52:38And that's all the hell you can give us.
00:52:44I know possibly nothing of the others.
00:52:47But I want to find Roberts even more than you do.
00:52:50Why he should run away is a complete mystery.
00:52:52A mystery?
00:52:53It's all a mystery.
00:52:54Goodman blown to bits.
00:52:56Petulian's supposed to aid him.
00:52:57Disappears.
00:52:58Roberts disappears.
00:52:59Now Drummond disappears.
00:53:00Drummond gone?
00:53:01Vanished into thin air.
00:53:02Do you have any idea where he is?
00:53:05The only clue is his abandoned car.
00:53:07Found in the village of Market Rutherford.
00:53:09Market Rutherford?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:10Do you know where it is?
00:53:11No.
00:53:12No.
00:53:12I...
00:53:13No idea.
00:53:15Well, I must be out.
00:53:17Don't you go disappearing, too.
00:53:19Never fear.
00:53:27Have that man followed.
00:53:28He might lead us to Roberts.
00:53:30Oh, I know something's happened to Hugh.
00:53:31He'd never stay away this long without telephoning.
00:53:40Captain Hugh Rutherford?
00:53:42Who?
00:53:43Oh, I beg your pardon, Sir Captain Hugh Drummond.
00:53:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:47My name's Longworth.
00:53:48Algernon Longworth.
00:53:49What's happened?
00:53:50Well, a car, miss, registered in the name of Captain Hugh Drummond,
00:53:55has been left standing alongside a fire hydrant since last night.
00:53:59Where?
00:54:00At Market.
00:54:01Market Rutherford, miss.
00:54:02Market Rutherford, huh?
00:54:03Well, let's go.
00:54:04Tenny!
00:54:05Tenny!
00:54:06Tenny!
00:54:07Tenny's off on his motorcycle searching!
00:54:13Here, boy, boy!
00:54:15Have you seen it?
00:54:16There's a truck like you described in that there garage, Mr. Tenny.
00:54:20Filling up with petrol.
00:54:22It'll be out any minute now.
00:54:23I hope you've spotted it.
00:54:24If you have, I'll give you a bank.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:26Most of my assistants only get a couple of shillings.
00:54:29Oh, but how many of us are there?
00:54:30Oh, eight or ten scattered about from London to the north of England.
00:54:34Oh, what an organization.
00:54:35Yes, I wrote the record.
00:54:51Are they still following us?
00:54:53It's been frailness ever since we left the city, and it's no officer either.
00:54:59Well, here goes.
00:55:23Well, we're getting the slip, eh?
00:55:42Can't take it, eh?
00:55:45What the...
00:55:46Now, you will do as I say, gentlemen.
00:55:49What did you do with that box when you left St. Leaven's Road?
00:55:54What box?
00:55:55Drive me to where you took that box, or I shall be forced to slip you the slug.
00:56:01Now, listen, Pam, you wouldn't.
00:56:03I would, and how?
00:56:09Base headquarters will be right here in this office.
00:56:12Now, Hugh couldn't have gone far without his car, not more than a couple of miles, right?
00:56:15Right, right.
00:56:16Right.
00:56:16So I have drawn this circle.
00:56:18Then you must be somewhere within this circle.
00:56:20All we have to do is to scour that circle.
00:56:21With a fine-tooth comb.
00:56:22From house to house.
00:56:23But that will take days and days.
00:56:24Oh, no, it won't.
00:56:25Each of us will take one district.
00:56:28A, B, C.
00:56:30Screamin' it.
00:56:31You should have been an army officer.
00:56:32I should have been Mrs. Hugh Drummond today.
00:56:35But I'm not.
00:56:36Let me see.
00:56:36A, B, C.
00:56:38Right?
00:56:38Right.
00:56:39Right.
00:56:39Right.
00:56:41A.
00:56:48I say, old man, have you seen anything of Captain Drummond?
00:56:53I beg your pardon.
00:56:54I'm looking for a Captain Drummond.
00:56:59We don't want none.
00:57:00It's a slow process, Drummond.
00:57:24Well, the slower, the better.
00:57:47Kenny!
00:57:48Kenny!
00:57:48You're all right, Kenny.
00:57:51Am I, sir?
00:57:52So you walked into the trap, too, huh?
00:57:54Oh, yes, sir.
00:57:55Why?
00:57:57I did it on purpose, sir.
00:57:58What?
00:58:00I planned to be captured, sir.
00:58:07Look at my legs.
00:58:11Oh, no, sir.
00:58:12I'm not out of my head.
00:58:22I'm out of my head.
00:58:31Excellent, Blake.
00:58:32Ah, telling you a wonder.
00:58:34I do my best to give satisfaction.
00:58:41May I suggest, sir, if you saw a little higher up,
00:58:47You'd be able to push and pull at the same time, sir.
00:58:50Excellent idea, Tony.
00:58:52I'd rather like it, sir.
00:59:00Pardon me.
00:59:01Has the Captain Drummond been here?
00:59:03Um, Captain Drummond, did you say?
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:08Well, who are you, may I ask?
00:59:10I'm Miss Clavering, his fiancée.
00:59:13Come in, Miss Clavering.
00:59:17Well, that's that.
00:59:24I hope Phyllis had better luck than we did.
00:59:26Oh, good old Phyllis.
00:59:27She'll run into something.
00:59:28She's always lucky.
00:59:30I say, where's your phone?
00:59:31Yes, sir.
00:59:32Inside the office, sir.
00:59:36To you, old boy.
00:59:37Angie, Gwen, I've got great news for you.
00:59:39Your father's outside.
00:59:40My father?
00:59:41Yes.
00:59:42Look out, old boy.
00:59:43She's going to break your head here.
00:59:44Don't break now.
00:59:46Angie, give me the telephone.
00:59:47Here you are.
00:59:49Angie, sometimes I wonder.
00:59:51Oh, you won't.
00:59:52Phyllis, be glad when she gets back.
00:59:54Phyllis, when she gets back from where?
00:59:56Oh, well, you see, we have to locate you.
00:59:58She's out ringing doorbells.
00:59:59She'll be back any minute.
01:00:00Is she alone?
01:00:01Of course she is, yes.
01:00:02You see, we have to divide up the territory.
01:00:04It was quicker that way.
01:00:05A, B, and C.
01:00:07C, that was her route.
01:00:10Angie, that's why she's not back.
01:00:11Huh?
01:00:11She's going to Petulian's house.
01:00:13Oh.
01:00:13Now lend me a gun.
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:14I'm very sorry to have to do this, young lady.
01:00:27But you shouldn't have interfered.
01:00:32Is everything packed?
01:00:33Yes, sir.
01:00:34We'd better get going.
01:00:35As soon as we dispose of our guests upstairs, it would be perfectly safe.
01:00:38I'll put these in the car.
01:00:38Okay, let's go.
01:00:40I'll put these in the car.
01:01:10I'll put these in the car.
01:01:40Come on, come on.
01:01:41Get up out of there.
01:01:42No monkey shins.
01:01:44A jumpy.
01:01:45They're gone.
01:01:46Put up your hands, gentlemen.
01:01:47And no monkey shins.
01:01:49Now, if you'll just step this way, please.
01:01:54Now, gentlemen.
01:01:54I'm afraid you'll have to come on a little journey, my dear young lady.
01:02:05I'm afraid you'll have to come on a little journey.
01:03:29You like it, Petulian?
01:03:31Drummond.
01:03:32Now, now, this sort of thing won't do at all.
01:03:37Roberts, you're disguised as perfect.
01:03:38You fool it.
01:03:39Ah, clever.
01:03:40Stop this nonsense, Roberts.
01:03:41I've told you that.
01:03:42Not Roberts.
01:03:43Roberts is dead.
01:03:44And you killed him and left him in Goodman's laboratory to be blown to bits.
01:03:47A very good guess, Drummond.
01:03:48But none of you will tell any tales.
01:03:50Now, face the wall.
01:03:51Have you thought of the police?
01:03:51The police will continue to search for Roberts, thinking he's disguised as me.
01:03:55Up.
01:03:56Up.
01:03:58Save him for me, Drummond.
01:04:00Sorry, Mr. French, Sergeant.
01:04:01Take over his disguise.
01:04:03Ah, you're making a mistake, Inspector.
01:04:04Don't call me inspe...
01:04:05What mistake?
01:04:06You've got the wrong man.
01:04:07What are you talking about?
01:04:08This man is the real Petulian.
01:04:10You may pull his beard if you like.
01:04:12He knew that Roberts was about to take his place at the appointment for Professor Goodman this evening.
01:04:16But he got there first and pretended to be disguised as himself.
01:04:19You see, that was his perfect alibi.
01:04:21Drummond?
01:04:22We'll make a detective of you yet.
01:04:26Look him up right there.
01:04:28Good work, Newton.
01:04:29Lucky you happened in.
01:04:31Hmm.
01:04:32We didn't happen in, Sir Raymond.
01:04:33We were following you, as it occurs.
01:04:35Me?
01:04:36Well, I had nothing whatever to do with this, I assure you.
01:04:38I'm always opposed to violence.
01:04:40Of course, sir.
01:04:42We're very grateful to you for helping put an end to this great menace to international economics.
01:04:47There's also the matter, the murder of a detective in Geneva.
01:04:50The Swiss police will be glad to know why he was killed.
01:04:54And then we shall also want to know why Professor Goodman's house was blown up.
01:04:59Take him away!
01:05:02And this was supposed to be our wedding day.
01:05:04Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but if there's a registry office still open...
01:05:07If there isn't, you'll probably break into one.
01:05:09No, you won't.
01:05:10You'll leave on the first boat train for Switzerland, on the police escort.
01:05:14Darling, a shotgun wedding.
01:05:16Uh-huh.
01:05:16THE END
01:05:46THE END
