00:00The End
00:30Stop chasing that train, you, Drummond.
00:56Aunty, the engineer would think I'm a quitter if I stop now.
01:01I see.
01:02Keep your eyes on the road.
01:04Well, it's here, I can't.
01:05It'll be 20 more hours, darling.
01:07May I say I hope so, sir?
01:09May I say I doubt if there will ever be a wedding?
01:11Well, what could be better our marriage this time?
01:13What prevented it five other times?
01:15Fires, murders, explosions, everything sort of an earthquake.
01:19This time, Aunty...
01:20Not your aunt, you, Drummond.
01:26Oh, we made it.
01:27Something seems to whisper, my love.
01:29That was only the beginning.
01:30Of our happy married life.
01:32Oh, of a trip to the hospital.
01:35Pardon me, my good man, but, uh, would you be good enough to tell me the way to, uh, to, uh...
01:41Oh, did I have forgotten where I wanted to go?
01:43This is Rockingham, sir.
01:44Rockingham?
01:45Oh, yes, quite so.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Rockingham Tower.
01:48There are a residence.
01:49Oh, yes.
01:50Oh, yes.
01:51Oh, yes.
01:52Oh, yes.
01:53Oh, yes.
01:54Oh, yes.
01:55Oh, yes.
01:56Oh, yes.
01:57Oh, yes.
01:58Oh, yes.
01:59Oh, yes.
02:00Oh, yes.
02:01Oh, yes.
02:02Oh, yes.
02:03Quite so.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Rockingham Tower.
02:06The residence of Captain Drummond.
02:07Go right up the old Roman road.
02:08All you have to do is follow the furniture vans.
02:11Follow the furniture vans?
02:12Now, why, nurse, should I want to follow furniture vans?
02:14Well, you see, Captain Drummond's always lived at the lodge.
02:17But he's getting married tomorrow, so they're opening the towers.
02:20First time in 20 years, sir.
02:21Oh, I see.
02:22Oh, yes.
02:23Yes.
02:24Quite so.
02:25Oh, yes.
02:27Yes.
02:28Roll the wall for the time of year, don't you think?
02:29Hey.
02:30It's warm, all right, but it's August, you know.
02:31August?
02:32My calendar said January.
02:34Ha, ha, ha.
02:35I must have forgotten to turn it.
02:37Ha, ha.
02:38Thank you so much.
02:39Up the room and roll.
02:40Follow the furniture vans.
02:41Captain Drummond.
02:42Why?
02:51How are you, Tenny?
02:52Thank you, miss.
02:53Miss Annalsy?
02:54Captain Drummond?
02:55Oh, Tenny.
02:56I'll put these in water, if I may.
02:57I'll think they're in the car, Tenny.
02:58I'll see to them, miss.
02:59Your rooms are in the east wing.
03:01The towel will be ready by dinner time, sir.
03:03Good, Tenny.
03:04And tomorrow?
03:05I've made all arrangements, sir.
03:06Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
03:08And it's the last chance you'll have if I have anything to say about it, you Drummond.
03:12You hear that, Tenny?
03:13No nonsense.
03:14This time we've got to get married.
03:15As they say in America, sir, this time it is in the bag.
03:19I don't like American slang, Tennyson.
03:22Shall I show you to your rooms, miss?
03:24Bosh!
03:25Spent half my time here when I was a girl.
03:27Coming through this?
03:28Presently, Aunt Blanche.
03:30I'm afraid Auntie doesn't like us.
03:32But I do.
03:34That will be Mr. Longworth, sir.
03:36Yes, making himself useful again.
03:38I'm afraid so, sir.
03:40Aunt yourself?
03:41I don't know, old boy.
03:43The way you saved that bosh is remarkable.
03:47Quite acrobatic.
03:48What?
03:49Yes.
03:50Hello, old boy.
03:51The sparkle in those eyes can mean only one thing.
03:54Happiness.
03:56Scotland Yard waits while I attend your wedding.
03:58Thank you, Colonel.
03:59By the way, did I hear a crash?
04:01Oh, yes.
04:02All the way from the top shelf, old boy.
04:04I never broke it.
04:05It's lucky for you, Algie.
04:06That's a genuine Ming worth 200 pounds.
04:08200 pounds?
04:09I'd better put it right up.
04:13Oh.
04:18It was worth 200 pounds, old boy.
04:22This way, Mr. Bolton.
04:24Mr. Tennyson should be somewhere about.
04:26Mr. Tennyson?
04:27He's in charge of the staff.
04:29I thought the butler was usually in charge.
04:32Captain Drummond's gentleman's gentleman.
04:35He's the one you have to keep your eye on at Rockingham.
04:38Why, he's even discharged the new cook.
04:41Oh, that came only this morning.
04:43Because she didn't agree with him about the Yorkshire pudding.
04:46He's the whole cheese, I can tell you.
04:49Quite so, Mrs. Tolz.
04:51The cheese.
04:52The whole cheese.
04:53Oh, I'm sure, sir.
04:54I didn't mean the...
04:55Quite so.
04:56You'll see that those roses are put in Miss Clavering's room.
04:59Yes, sir.
05:00Your bolton, the new butler?
05:01Shastra's agency sent me down, Mr. Tennyson.
05:03No.
05:07Been in some nice families.
05:08Oh, yes, sir.
05:09The very best.
05:10Yes, you'll begin your duties at once.
05:12Mrs. Thomas will show you at your quarters.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:15Mm.
05:16State papers of Roger Bacon.
05:31Oh, how frightfully interesting.
05:34I wonder what addition it is.
05:37Oh.
05:38Excuse us, sir.
05:40Oh, that's quite all right.
05:42Go, go right ahead.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:48Wait.
05:50Pardon me, but...
05:52Is there something you want, sir?
05:55Oh, no, no, no.
05:56Nothing at all, no, no.
05:58Oh, is that my tea?
06:01Well, just put it somewhere, somewhere.
06:04Pardon me, sir, but this is Captain Drummond's tea.
06:07Oh, Captain Drummond, yes.
06:09Oh, I asked him to come and see me, yes.
06:11Show him in, show him in.
06:13Pardon me, sir, but Captain Drummond is in.
06:16Oh, how stupid. I came to see him, didn't I?
06:19Oh, just a moment, please.
06:28Would he be so good as a teller mine here?
06:30Very good, sir. You'll wait here, sir?
06:33Oh, yes, you. Yes, yes, yes, I'll wait here.
06:39Come in.
06:47That's odd. I distinctly heard a knock.
06:50These things have no fixed value. Only one of collectors willing to pay for it.
06:53Splendid.
06:55Gentlemen, to see you, sir.
06:58Professor Downey, Research Department, Museum of Historical Documents.
07:01Downey? What's he doing here?
07:03Well, do you know him, Colonel?
07:04Well, I've met him.
07:05In Scotland Yard?
07:06You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends,
07:09does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
07:12I like that.
07:14I see him about you, Hugh. He's a quaint old bird.
07:17Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:19I'll sue him in, Tony.
07:21Very good.
07:23Yeah. Good as new, almost.
07:25That makes me feel much better.
07:27I'm so glad of that. Just let it dry for a few hours, will you?
07:30Oh, put it where it will be safe.
07:31Be careful, lousy.
07:32Not twice you.
07:47Professor Downey.
07:50Excuse me, did you break something?
07:55Professor Downey, I'm Hugh Drummond. You're just in time for tea.
07:58Oh, I just had some tea out there.
08:00Oh, I see you've got some more here. How jolly.
08:03This is Algie Longworth.
08:05Longworth.
08:06Anglo-Norman name, 11th century.
08:08How do you do?
08:09How do you do?
08:11Won't you come and meet my friends, Professor?
08:13Oh, I'd be delighted.
08:17Phyllis, may I present Professor Downey, Miss Clavering.
08:19Charmed, dear.
08:20And Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
08:22How are you?
08:23Oh, fellas, good.
08:24And what part might I ask of Scotland?
08:27Excuse me.
08:28No, no, no, Professor, you misunderstand.
08:30Colonel Nielsen is Commissioner of Scotland Yard.
08:32Oh, yes.
08:33I wrote a history about it once.
08:35Rather overrated, I fear.
08:36Scotland Yard?
08:37Oh, no, no.
08:38My book.
08:39Tea, Professor?
08:40Oh, thanks.
08:41Nothing like a good cup of hot tea on a cold January day.
08:44Oh, perhaps I should explain the reason of my visit.
08:52It's about the treasure.
08:53Treasure?
08:54What treasure?
08:55I estimate the value to be in the neighborhood of one million pounds.
08:58Of course, in the days of Charles I, the value of the pound wasn't worth.
09:01What on earth are you talking about, Professor?
09:03Ah, I'd better explain.
09:05Yes, yes, I will explain.
09:07You've heard of, uh, Bori Isliani.
09:10No, I can't say that I have.
09:12Well, he was my assistant in the museum until I had him arrested three years ago.
09:16Arrested?
09:17What for?
09:18For theft, sir.
09:19Theft of these.
09:20At least, I should say a tenth of theft since I've still got them.
09:23He was a scoundrel, sir.
09:25A sane, clever thinking scoundrel, sir, who masqueraded under the name of Seton.
09:30Henry Seton.
09:32Stop it, Hugh.
09:33Before something happens.
09:34Not a chance, Tony.
09:35Professor, may I ask what those papers are?
09:37Oh, all these are the plans of the ancient rooms and passages
09:40below Rockium Tower.
09:42What, my own place?
09:43Yes.
09:44And this, this is the diary of Colonel John Cooper,
09:47a royalist officer under Charles I.
09:49One of my ancestors, darling.
09:50There's a portrait of him in the long gallery.
09:52Yes, we have a copy in the museum.
09:54Look rather a blackguard, a bit like you, Captain Drummond.
10:02Wait, did I say something amusing?
10:04Not at all, Professor.
10:05Please go on.
10:06Let me see.
10:07Where was I?
10:08Oh, yes.
10:09I was puzzled as to why Seton should want to steal these particular papers.
10:12So I made a study of them, together with all contemporary documents I had in my possession.
10:16And I came to the conclusion that there is a treasure, King's treasure, hidden somewhere.
10:22Here, perhaps, under our very feet.
10:24Did you hear that, darling?
10:25Right here in Rockium.
10:26I might have known it.
10:27And now, this is what Colonel Cooper says in his diary.
10:31Riding all day and all night, got safely to Rockium with the King's treasure.
10:36Did you hear that, darling?
10:37I heard.
10:38My wound, very painful.
10:40Conceal all the treasure in the passages without arousing suspicion of the servants.
10:45Dead will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
10:49Those are the passages, Captain Drummond, according to the plans.
10:52Rockium is positively honeycombed.
10:55My, I was through them scores of times when a boy.
10:58Then you saw the crypt, the tower of the waters, the chamber of the spikes.
11:02The what?
11:03The tower of the water, the chamber of spikes.
11:05No, no, darling.
11:06No, they are new to me, sir.
11:07Then you haven't seen the places mentioned in this diary.
11:10Perhaps I didn't see them all.
11:12My father had the entrance to those passages walled up.
11:14Where was the entrance?
11:16In one of the storerooms, I believe.
11:18Why, the one directly below this, as a matter of fact.
11:20Obviously, there's another set of passages.
11:23The diary describes them minutely.
11:26And where's the entrance to those passages, Professor?
11:29Unfortunately, Colonel, I cannot tell you yet.
11:32Good.
11:33You see, this diary makes use of a device very common at the time, a secret cipher.
11:38So that it conceals the exact location.
11:41Observe.
11:45And there it will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
11:49U-R-E-Z-Q-S-L-T-I-S.
11:53Sounds like Greek to me.
11:55Oh, no, no, my dear, sir.
11:57If it were Greek, there'd be no different thing.
11:59Well, it's all very exciting, Professor, but I'm afraid it's not going to make us much richer.
12:03How's that, darling?
12:05Oh, my dear sir, you are wrong.
12:07I have already made progress in reading the cipher.
12:10You have?
12:11Mm-hmm.
12:12But I am hampered as to exact data concerning the tower itself.
12:16Now, I thought, perhaps, if I might see it.
12:22Professor, I'm to be married tomorrow.
12:25And the treasure that becomes mine then is all that interests me.
12:30Bravo, darling.
12:31That's a very pretty speech.
12:32But I should be glad to have you as my guest for as long as you may require to carry out your researches.
12:37Oh, my dear Captain Drummond, you make me very happy.
12:40What a wonderful adventure this is going to be.
12:44That's what I'm afraid of.
12:55Professor Downey asked me to give you this, sir.
13:01He said he thought you might like to read it tonight.
13:04Cooper's diary, huh?
13:05Very thoughtful of him.
13:06Made him comfortable, Tony?
13:07In the north wing, sir.
13:08He's engrossed in studying the cipher.
13:10You might put it beside my bed.
13:12Here you go, sir.
13:13Your elaborate indifference doesn't fool me a bit, Hugh Drummond.
13:16I know you're positively aching to tear rucking him to pieces stone by stone.
13:20Darling, a million pounds!
13:22Hugh, please, won't you tell him to...
13:24Help!
13:29Help!
13:31Help!
13:32Help!
13:33Help!
13:34What a fool I am.
13:37On my record, darling, you're justified in expecting battle, murder and sudden death.
13:41If anything should happen now.
13:42Not this time, sweet.
13:43We'll be married tomorrow at the stroke of twelve.
13:54What prevented it five other times?
13:55Fires, murders, explosions, everything short of an earthquake.
14:07We'll be going.
14:09We'll get married tomorrow.
14:11Oh.
14:12Where's the clergyman, Elsie?
14:13He'll be a long old boy.
14:14Don't get nervous.
14:15I thought everything was arranged.
14:16Don't worry, darling.
14:17It is.
14:18Cut it out, big boy.
14:19Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:23Bet you forgot the ring.
14:24Uh, quit towards your arsenic.
14:25I haven't.
14:26You.
14:27You, you, you really want to marry me, don't you?
14:46You, you, you really want to marry me, don't you?
14:53Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
15:16Colonel! Colonel, we'll...
15:27You, Drummond, you have the most uncanny faculty for getting into trouble just when you're about to be married.
15:36You're wasting your time, Drummond. Below you is the Thames River, and I will.
15:46Come on!
15:58Teddy!
15:59Yes, sir? The place is going to blow up any minute. Get out while you have a chance.
16:10Teddy.
16:11Teddy!
16:12Are you trying to give satisfaction to him?
16:15Louder, Teddy. Louder!
16:16You're not as any louder!
16:46Are you gonna do, Barry?
16:47Book, please wait with...
16:50Goodbye soon!
17:05Goodbye, soldier.
17:07Tell me why don't you go away.
17:10Whatever you want.
17:11Come on.
17:12I'm expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
17:30If anything should happen now.
17:31At this time, sweetie.
17:32We'll be married tomorrow at the spook.
17:35You know, wedding or out of it, I am the best man.
17:38Come on!
17:40Come on!
17:41Come on!
17:56Here.
17:57What?
18:08Come on!
18:25Captain Drummond!
18:26Captain Drummond!
18:27Help!
18:28Mr. Longworth!
18:29Colonel, help!
18:38Come on!
18:54Tenny, Tenny, what happened?
18:56We appear to have had a slight touch of nightmare, sir.
19:01It was no nightmare that hit me on the chin.
19:03Then it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
19:08Can you open the door?
19:18Have you two been fighting?
19:19Fighting?
19:20Oh, no, sir.
19:21Q!
19:22No, no, darling.
19:23There's nothing to worry about.
19:24I warned you.
19:25If we came down here, something would happen.
19:26What was it?
19:27Probably a second story man, Colonel.
19:28Thought rocking him was still unoccupied.
19:30We rather got the worst of it, eh, Tenny?
19:32It could hardly be called a holiday, sir.
19:34Let's go after the blackers, old boy.
19:36Only one, Elsie.
19:37Only one.
19:38Only one?
19:39You mean you let one man knock you both down and then get away?
19:42Oh, dear, dear, dear.
19:43You're a slipping old thing.
19:44You too, Tenny.
19:45And we are humiliated, sir.
19:48Billis, you mark my words.
19:51Can you wriggle out of this wedding just as he did all the others?
19:54Well, that's hardly fair, Aunt Blanche.
19:55I was just reading Colonel Cooper's diary.
19:56It's gone.
19:57And so am I.
19:58Good night.
19:59Colonel, somebody beside Donny thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:00You didn't see his face?
20:01I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:02Afterwards, we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:03Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:04No.
20:05Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:06Then let's leave here now.
20:07We can be in London in an hour and ...
20:08All right, darling.
20:09We'll do that very thing.
20:10Captain Drummond's room?
20:11Yes, Professor Donny.
20:12Yes, Professor Donny.
20:13Yes, Professor Donny.
20:14Come on.
20:15I'm going to go to the next one.
20:16I'm going to go out.
20:17And I'm going to go out.
20:18And so am I.
20:19Good night.
20:20Colonel, somebody beside Donny thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:21You didn't see his face?
20:22I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:23Afterwards, we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:25Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:28Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:30Then let's leave here now.
20:31We can be in London in an hour and ...
20:33Captain Drummond's room?
20:34Yes, Professor Donny.
20:36He wants to speak to you.
20:38Says it's urgent.
20:39Don't talk to him, Hugh.
20:40He's my house guest, darling.
20:42I must.
20:43All right.
20:44Dear, dear old girl, it's quite all right.
20:46Nothing's going to happen.
20:47Yes, Professor.
20:49Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:52He's six minutes late.
20:54You have?
20:56He's solved the cipher.
20:59Go on, Professor.
21:00Are you certain?
21:01Yes, yes, yes.
21:02I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
21:13Henry Seaton.
21:14Hello.
21:15Hello.
21:16Are you there?
21:17So you know where the treasure is, Professor Downey.
21:21Yes, Henry.
21:23Now I know why you tried to steal the Cooper diary.
21:26You saved me a lot of work.
21:28Line's dead.
21:29I knew it.
21:30Tenny.
21:31I have them here, sir.
21:32I give up.
21:33Now, darling.
21:34I know it's not your fault.
21:36The fates are against us.
21:37It'd be the same if we went to Timbuktu to get married.
21:39But, sweetheart.
21:40As long as that's the way it is.
21:41Penny, give me a pissy.
21:42Darling, you're one in a thousand.
21:43Last time I was one in a million.
21:46Professor.
21:47Professor Downey.
21:48I say, old boy, let me, will you?
21:49Hello.
21:50Are you there?
21:51Are you there?
21:52I have it here, sir.
21:53Stand back now.
21:55Maybe I'll try it, Hugh.
21:56Yes, I'll show you how, old boy.
21:57Hold this, will.
21:58Ow!
21:59Oh, now, darling.
22:00No nerves, old girl.
22:01No nerves.
22:02In heaven's name, Hugh Drummond.
22:03Couldn't you wait until morning?
22:04What is it, sir?
22:05That's what we're trying to find out, Paul.
22:06Pardon me, sir.
22:07And if you'll pardon me, sir.
22:08Do you feel me a little bit?
22:09I'm sorry.
22:10I'm sorry.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:17Oh, now.
22:18I'll try it, Hugh.
22:19Yes, I'll show you how, old boy.
22:20Hold this real.
22:21Ow!
22:22Oh, now, darling.
22:23No nerves, old girl.
22:24No nerves.
22:25In heaven's name, Hugh Drummond.
22:26Couldn't you wait until morning?
22:27What is it, sir?
22:28That's what we're trying to find out, Paul.
22:29Pardon me, sir.
22:30Do you really intend to marry this lunatic?
22:35I'm doing my best.
22:36Heaven protect your children.
22:38Then the first girl after you, auntie.
22:40Gosh.
22:44Well, well, well, hurry up. I want to get back to sleep.
22:47Pardon me.
22:48Never mind, Tenny.
22:50I follow you, sir.
23:00Hello. Rockingham Police Station.
23:10This is Colonel Nielsen, Scotland Yard.
23:13A man has been killed at Rockingham...
23:15No, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute. Not the lodge. Rockingham Tower.
23:20Notify the coroner and send a detail of police over here to patrol the grounds.
23:25Yes. Have them report to me personally.
23:27I'll explain when they arrive.
23:29Colonel.
23:30Hold the line for a minute. What is it, Archie?
23:32I've been thinking.
23:34What about?
23:35Nothing.
23:38I'm not surprised.
23:52I've checked the windows and doors in this wing, Mr. Tennyson.
23:54And the billiard room?
23:55Everything is secure, sir.
23:56You can start on the second floor.
23:58Very good, sir.
24:04I say thank you.
24:06How's Aunt Blanche?
24:07Hugh gave her a sleeping tablet.
24:09Good. Just what she needed.
24:11Colonel.
24:12Downey mentioned someone by the name of Seton.
24:14Didn't he?
24:15Hugh, this is interesting.
24:16Ishiani, or Seton, was released from prison yesterday.
24:19I just got there from the yard as you came in.
24:21Then he's the man who murdered the professor.
24:23And tried to do me in.
24:24And stole Cooper's diary from your room.
24:26And Downey's key to the cipher.
24:28Which means that Seton will try to get into Rockingham again.
24:31And that is why I had Tenney and Bolton lock all the doors and windows, my dear Sherlock Holmes.
24:35And that is why I ordered a detail of police to patrol the grounds, my dear Watson.
24:40If he had an ounce of brains, he'd leave the doors and windows open.
24:47And let the fellow walk off with a million pounds?
24:50And if I remember my Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson managed to get married.
24:55Which is more than you'll ever do, Hugh Drummond, as long as you keep fooling around with treasure trove and that villainous diary.
25:02Hiya, Ray.
25:03Sit down, Auntie.
25:04Oh, I don't want to sit down.
25:05But, Auntie, we haven't got the diary.
25:07I beg your pardon, sir.
25:09I found it under the window of Professor Downey's room.
25:13Good, Tenney.
25:14See, fellas?
25:16Deception.
25:17Collusion.
25:18Hugh, I'm afraid.
25:20That book brought death to Professor Downey.
25:23Please get rid of it, won't you?
25:27All right, darling, I will.
25:28Now.
25:29Tenney?
25:30Yes, Captain Drummond?
25:31The diary.
25:32A match?
25:38A newspaper?
25:39Please, Captain Drummond.
25:41The Times.
25:42Thank you, sir.
25:43You're welcome.
25:46Times, sir.
25:47And a fireplace.
25:48I follow you, sir.
25:53You're quite certain, sir?
25:55Fire, Tenney.
25:56Flames.
25:57As you say, sir.
25:59You see?
26:00Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
26:05You're a nice boy.
26:10Come now, dear.
26:11We can sleep.
26:17I see, old boy.
26:18Did she kiss you?
26:19Did she, Elsie?
26:20I saw her.
26:22Maybe she did, Elsie.
26:23Maybe she did.
26:25Maybe she did.
26:30Well, there goes a million pounds.
26:32That's love, old boy.
26:34Real love.
26:35Well, maybe it is, Elsie, but somehow I...
26:37Well, I feel like a quitter.
26:39I beg your pardon, son.
26:41But if you feel any pangs of regret about burning the diary, I took the precaution to burn the telephone directory, sir.
26:50Just in case.
26:53Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:55I tried to give satisfaction, sir.
26:57You're a veritable treasure, sir.
26:59Treasure, indeed, Tenney.
27:01And with this, we'll find it, eh?
27:03As they say in America, sir.
27:05One can't be shot for trying.
27:07You're wrong, Tenney.
27:09Professor Donnie wants.
27:10Well, anything doing?
27:11Nothing irregular.
27:12Nothing but me losing a good night's sleep.
27:13I wish they see Henry Seaton or Nalifax, I do.
27:15Yeah, cooperating with Scotland Yard to catch Henry Seaton might win you a promotion, my boy.
27:32Aye, or a bullet in the back.
27:34Yeah, talk hearty now.
27:35Talk hearty.
27:36Hearty?
27:37Hearty?
27:38Hearty me, aye.
27:39Go on.
27:40Carry on.
27:47Okay.
27:48M, M's the thirteenth letter.
27:50Now, if it were transposed, we'd have...
27:53We'd have N.
27:55Halsey, wake up!
27:56Oh, leave me alone.
27:57Leave me alone.
27:58Come on, old boy.
27:59You promised to help me.
28:00No, no, don't, darling, don't.
28:02What?
28:03Oh, it's you, huh?
28:04Oh, then she didn't slap me.
28:06Who didn't?
28:07Who didn't?
28:08The girl on the bus.
28:09We were riding down Piccadilly.
28:11And just as I kissed her, you slapped me.
28:14I'm sorry, old boy.
28:15Oh, that's all right.
28:16I'll probably see her again sometime.
28:19Now, look, Halsey, I've got the...
28:21Hugh.
28:22I forgot to ask for a telephone number.
28:25Look, Halsey, I've got it.
28:26The first letter, it's N, I think.
28:28First letter in what?
28:30In the alphabet, Halsey, the letter N.
28:32N in the alphabet.
28:34That's funny.
28:35Shut up.
28:36Now, here, look at that.
28:37Z, Y, X, W, B, U.
28:43Now, it's a reversed alphabet directly above a normal ABC one.
28:47Oh, right, Hal.
28:49A is Z, and B is Y.
28:52Right.
28:53Now, when I read you a letter, you write down the one directly above it in the reversed alphabet.
28:56Uh, I get it.
28:58I think.
28:59X.
29:00X.
29:01X.
29:02C.
29:03L.
29:04O.
29:05L.
29:06Go on.
29:07X.
29:08C.
29:09L.
29:10O.
29:11L.
29:12O.
29:13Now, that's the first word.
29:14What does it spell?
29:15Coo-coo.
29:17Coo-coo?
29:19Doesn't make sense, does it?
29:22Well, that depends on the point of view, Halsey.
29:25Oh, confondant if we only have Professor Darnie's notes.
29:29Y.
29:30I.
29:31R.
29:32Z.
29:33A.
29:34I.
29:35R.
29:36Y.
29:37D.
29:38R.
29:39I.
29:40R.
29:41Y.
29:42D.
29:43R.
29:44I.
29:45O.
29:46L.
29:47A great help you turned out to be.
30:02Mm-hmm.
30:03Three clubs.
30:04I'd give anything for just one.
30:05Doubled.
30:06With Lodge and Rockingham in line a stone is found.
30:09Full three long paces north and in the ground the answer lies.
30:12But should you hear the sound of turning wheels beware.
30:13Y.
30:14R.
30:15A.
30:16R.
30:17A.
30:18R.

30:33I.
30:34L.
30:35I.
30:36L.
30:37I.
30:38R-A-R-B-I-L, L-I-B-R-A-R-Y, library, library.
31:38Hugh!
31:50Oh!
31:55Oh, Hugh!
32:00Down, Elsie.
32:12What are you shooting at me for?
32:24Down, Elsie.
32:26What are you shooting at me for?
32:28Down, Elsie.
32:40He got my mate, sir.
32:44Did you see who it was?
32:46No, sir.
32:48Let's get him inside.
32:50Tenney!
32:51Hurry, now.
32:52Come.
32:53What's the matter with the lights?
32:54He was Mr. Blinzo.
32:56It's all right now, son.
32:58What?
32:59Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:00He's done for, sir.
33:01You?
33:02Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:04He's done for, sir.
33:05You?
33:06Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:08He's done for, sir.
33:09You?
33:10What is it?
33:11It's one of the constables, dear.
33:12I beg your pardon, miss?
33:13Nobody here is, sir.
33:14I beg your pardon, Miss.
33:15Hold me here.
33:16I beg your pardon.
33:17I beg your pardon, Miss.
33:18It's all right now, son.
33:19All right.
33:20Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:22Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:25He's done for, sir.
33:27You?
33:29What is it?
33:30It's one of the constables, dear.
33:33I beg your pardon, Miss.
33:34Over here!
33:35It's one of the constables, dear.
33:36I beg your pardon, Miss.
33:38Over here, Bolton.
33:39Yes, Mr. Tennyson.
33:40You'd better go to your room, darling.
33:42Yes, and keep Aunt Blanche in hers.
33:44She must have snapped right through it.
33:46Well, that's something to be thankful for.
33:48Alf had a feeling that Seton would get him, sir.
33:50Any instructions?
33:52Yes, locate your menace station close around the house.
33:54Very good, sir.
33:56Poor fellow.
33:58It might have been you if Seton had got inside.
34:00But he was inside.
34:02We saw him.
34:04You saw him?
34:06Well,
34:08in this very room, Colonel.
34:10He must have hidden somewhere after he killed Downey.
34:12That explains why the lights went off and why the burglar alarm sounded when he went out.
34:16Confound it, Alf, if you hadn't made such a racket.
34:18Oh, I'm sorry, old boy. I was only trying to help.
34:20I know, I know.
34:22Well, besides,
34:24Seton won't try and get inside again tonight.
34:26How do we know he isn't in now?
34:28We saw him go through those doors.
34:30We had plenty of time to come back while we were outside, Alf.
34:32Oh, Hugh.
34:34You mean he may be hiding in one of those secret passages?
34:36Waiting to pop out and corpse one of us?
34:38It's not unlikely.
34:40He has Downey's key to the cipher, you know.
34:42And we don't know where those passages are.
34:44Not the ones Downey mentioned at any rate.
34:46Kenny, Bolton.
34:48Coming, sir.
34:50We're going over to this house from cellar to attic.
34:52Darling, you better go to your room and lock yourself in and stay there.
34:54Uh, Bolton, see Miss Clabbing for a room and stay on guard in the hall.
34:56Very good, sir.
34:57But, Hugh, I...
34:58Please do as I say, darling.
34:59All right.
35:00Algy.
35:01Algy, you take this floor and I'll do the cellar.
35:03Tenny, you take the upper floors.
35:04Oh, what am I to do, Hugh?
35:05Well, Colonel, you stay here.
35:06If Seton comes back...
35:07I'll mow him down.
35:08All right, Hugh, I'll carry on.
35:10Bulldog, Drummond, Sacred Police.
35:11He could have gone that way.
35:12I don't think so, sir.
35:13He would have had to pass one of my men I had stationed at the front gate.
35:16And he didn't take the path toward the lodge.
35:17No, sir, because that's where I was on duty when it happened.
35:18He could have gone through the floor beds and escaped through the woods.
35:20Not unless he had to go to the floor beds.
35:21Well, you're in a room.
35:22I'm in a room.
35:23I'm in a room.
35:24But, you're in a room.
35:25I'm in a room.
35:26I'm in a room.
35:27I'm in a room.
35:28I'm in a room.
35:29I'm in a room.
35:30He's in a room.
35:31I'm in a room.
35:32I'm in a room.
35:33I'm in a room.
35:34You're in a room.
35:35I'm in a room.
35:36And you're in a room.
35:37It's a room.
35:38I'm in a room.
35:39I'm in a room.
35:40So, what's the other way?
35:41No, sir.
35:42Because that's where I was on duty when it happened.
35:43He could have gone through the floor beds and escaped through the woods.
35:45Not unless he had seven-league boots, Colonel.
35:46That bed's over 20 feet wide.
35:47That's another footprint on it.
35:48And had he gone that way...
35:49He would have met us.
35:50Which he did not.
35:51We can't let him get away with this, Colonel.
35:52He's made a fair job of it so far.
35:53May I get up now, sir?
35:54Yes, Tony.
35:56Well, that gives us a pretty fair idea of what took place here last night.
35:59except how he got away.
36:01Yes, Alsey, except how he got away.
36:03And if he didn't go that way, and if he didn't go that way...
36:05Or that way?
36:06Then which way did he go?
36:07Up, sir.
36:09Up?
36:11Yes, Alsey, up!
36:13The ivy!
36:19Look, Colonel, he's up the trail of broken ivy.
36:21He's plain as day.
36:22Now will you believe he's somewhere in the house?
36:23In the passages, Colonel.
36:24And when we open the entrance to the ones I'm familiar with...
36:26We'll try to find the entrance to the ones he's familiar with.
36:28Right.
36:29Have you ordered the men from the village, Tenny?
36:30They started to open the wall in the storeroom an hour ago, sir.
36:33Good.
36:34Now we'll see if Seton went through the window or made it to the roof.
36:36Oh, careful, Hill.
36:37See you in the third floor, sir.
36:39Right, Tenny?
36:40Wedding festivities, indeed.
36:42This place is a museum of horrors.
36:44Not just one murder, but two.
36:46Two murders in one night.
36:48There, there, Aunty.
36:49It's all over now.
36:52What's that?
36:53What is it?
36:54Help!
36:55Help!
36:58Sorry, darling.
36:59I thought you were downstairs having breakfast.
37:02Hugh Drummond.
37:03What are you doing?
37:04Peering in my window.
37:06Now perhaps you realize the kind of man you're marrying?
37:08Please, Aunty Blanche, let me explain.
37:09I'm following Seton.
37:10Yes.
37:11Climbing up walls like a bat.
37:13Well, that's how we got away.
37:14Up the ivy to one of the rooms above this, I think.
37:16I'm through.
37:17I've had enough.
37:19I'm taking the next train back to town and so are you.
37:21But, Aunty, we're going to be married at noon.
37:23Well, I could be done to death twenty times before then.
37:26Oh, Aunt Blanche.
37:27I'm not your aunt.
37:28I wouldn't be your aunt if an act of parliament decreed it.
37:31Yes, but you're Phyllis's aunt and you can't desert her like this.
37:34Oh, can't I?
37:36I suppose you'll stop me, you...
37:38You...
37:39You fine climbing Dracula!
37:42You better go.
37:46I'll talk to her.
37:47All right.
37:49No, not that way.
37:51Down.
37:52Anything for you, darling?
38:06Phew!
38:07Don't worry, darling.
38:08That's much the easiest way to come down.
38:10Captain Drummond!
38:12Yes, Tenny?
38:13There's no trace of him in this room, sir.
38:15Well, try the next one then.
38:17That'll be Bolton's room, sir.
38:18Well, go over and see if the vines are torn over there on the right.
38:21Very good, sir.
38:25Bolton!
38:27Bolton!
38:33Bolton!
38:34Tenny!
38:37Tenny!
38:39I thought he doesn't answer.
38:41Let's go up.
38:42Captain Drummond!
38:43What is it, Sergeant?
38:44I'll pray, sir.
38:45One of my men found a body in clear wood.
38:47What, another one?
38:48Yes, sir.
38:49And we're hoping that you can identify him.
38:50What makes you think that?
38:51Because, sir, he was coming here.
38:52Here?
38:53Open season at Rockingham.
38:54The station master identified him as a passenger on the 215 yesterday.
38:58He asked the way to the tower, sir.
39:00What'd he look like?
39:01Well, sir, he, uh...
39:03He was a...
39:04He was a man about 40.
39:05Of medium height.
39:06Said he was your new butler, sir.
39:08Bolton!
39:09I've got it.
39:10Bolton started for Rockingham.
39:12And it was Seton who arrived.
39:13Right.
39:14He must have met Bolton on the train and...
39:15I say, you!
39:16What's happened to Tenny?
39:17Tenny!
39:18We're wasting time.
39:20Sergeant, let no one leave the house.
39:22Right, Sergeant.
39:23Here, Alzi.
39:24Huh?
39:25Up there.
39:26Oh!
39:27Did you get my hot water bottle, Phyllis?
39:44Bolton, what are you doing in my room?
39:48Whoa!
39:49Tenny!
39:50Tenny!
39:51Oh?
39:52He doesn't seem to be in...
39:53In the water bottle.
39:54Where is everyone, Bolton?
39:55In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering.
39:56Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
39:57Oh, thank you.
39:58Captain Drummond.
39:59Take it easy, old boy.
40:00What happened?
40:01What did you see?
40:02Stars.
40:03Auntie!
40:04Auntie!
40:05It was Bolton.
40:06Yes, we know, Terry, we know.
40:07In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering. Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
40:10Oh, thank you.
40:11Captain Drummond.
40:12Take it easy, old boy.
40:13What happened?
40:14What did you see?
40:15Stars.
40:19Auntie.
40:24Auntie.
40:26It was Bulton, sir.
40:27Yes, we know, Terry, we know.
40:38Hugh!
40:39Hugh, where are you?
40:40Hugh!
41:05Bulton!
41:08What on earth are you doing?
41:09Captain Drummond must have found the engines to the passages, Miss.
41:11But I thought the engines...
41:12Phyllis!
41:13Phyllis!
41:21Phyllis!
41:22Phyllis!
41:24She must be with Seton.
41:25But where?
41:26That's what we've got to find out, Algy.
41:27See if the men have opened the wall in the storeroom.
41:30Colonel, I'm sure that screen came from here.
41:31There must be an entrance somewhere.
41:37Hey!
41:38Those old blighters didn't half wall up the entrance to these here passages, they didn't.
41:44Wait a minute!
41:45I'm the old blighter that walled it up twenty years ago!
41:50Oh, well, I'm sorry.
41:54Blimey, what's he doing?
41:55Making a bomb, young fellow, my lad.
41:59Brottle, fuse, and gunpowder.
42:01It'll blow open the entrance to that passage in no time at all.
42:11Won't it damage the house, sir?
42:13Not a chance, oh no.
42:14I learned all about this sort of thing during the war.
42:16Pardon me, sir.
42:17We are both needed in the library, sir.
42:19Right-ho.
42:20I'll toddle along.
42:32Oh, confound it, Colonel.
42:34These panels are like the rock at Gibraltar, all of them.
42:36This code isn't solving either.
42:37Well, what do you expect?
42:38It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:40You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:41Now, now, don't get the wind up, Hugh.
42:43But Colonel, Phyllis!
42:45Algy!
42:46Teddy!
42:47Right here, old boy.
42:48Hey, sir.
42:49Oh, good work, Teddy.
42:50Huh?
42:51Now, get busy, all of you.
42:52Yeah, but I say, Hugh, I've never used one of these things.
42:53It's just like a corkscrew, Algy.
42:55Oh, I know how to do that.
43:01Well, I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:02These passengers are like catacombs.
43:03May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:04I don't know.
43:05You know, something I haven't counted on.
43:06You know just how you were going to get out of here.
43:07Oh, the way we came in.
43:08I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the line.
43:09They know the entrance is there.
43:10Do they?
43:13We heard them.
43:15So, they must have heard me, what if I was or not.
43:16I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:18I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:21These passengers are like catacombs.
43:22May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:23I don't know.
43:24You know something I haven't counted on?
43:25You know just how you were going to get out of here.
43:28Oh, that's the way we came in.
43:30I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the library.
43:32They know the entrances there.
43:35Do they?
43:36We heard them.
43:38So they must have heard me when I screamed.
43:41You're a smart girl.
43:55The Tower of Waters.
44:05Now I know how I'm going to get out of here.
44:07To where?
44:08Perhaps.
44:09Go to the library with you.
44:11It's my ticket.
44:12So don't try to get away again.
44:13I wouldn't like it.
44:27Chamber of the Spikes.
44:38It's worth a hundred quid if it's worth a penny.
44:40Here, put it on.
44:41No!
44:42Not good enough for a ladyship, I suppose.
44:45I've got it, sir.
44:46Huh?
44:47Good work, Sidney.
44:50Seems just like the others.
44:52What a draft here, Colonel.
44:53You!
44:54Good work, Alfie.
44:57Stand clear, Sidney.
45:00Alfie.
45:01Huh?
45:02Will you please get out of the way?
45:04Oh.
45:05Come here.
45:35Should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
45:50This place could tell some pretty tales, eh?
46:05Clever.
46:35With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
46:44Pull three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
47:05Phyllis! Phyllis!
47:26Well, what's my little gold piece?
47:36The roundheads never knew what became of the king's jewels after the Battle of Naseby.
47:41Here.
47:45You little fool, I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:50Phyllis! Phyllis!
48:05Oh, like sardines in a tin, birds in a cage, would be more appropriate, sir.
48:24Pardon me, sir, but we are in your spotted trouble.
48:29Oh!
48:35Oh!
48:39Oh!
48:43Oh!
48:56Oh!
48:58Oh!
49:00Oh!
49:01Oh!
49:02Oh!
49:03Oh!
49:04Oh!
49:05Oh!
49:06Oh!
49:07Oh!
49:08Oh!
49:09Oh!
49:10Oh!
49:11Oh!
49:12Oh!
49:13Oh!
49:14Oh!
49:15Oh!
49:16Oh!
49:17Oh!
49:18Oh!
49:19Oh!
49:20Oh!
49:21Oh!
49:22Oh!
49:23Oh!
49:24Oh!
49:25Oh!
49:26Oh!
49:27Oh!
49:28Oh!
49:29Oh!
49:30Let's go.
50:00Let's go.
50:30Don't fire me at Phyllis.
50:40That's right, Donald.
50:41Let me talk to him.
50:43Satan.
50:44Yes, Colonel?
50:45Let Miss Clobbering come down to us and we'll give you a fair chance to get away.
50:48Throw out your pistols.
50:50Oh, I say, we can't do that.
50:52I'll count five.
50:53One.
50:53Don't do it to you.
50:54He'll kill you.
50:55Here they come.
51:03Pardon me, sir.
51:04The reserve.
51:09Good work, Tenny.
51:11Come out, all of you.
51:12You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:18They promised to let you go.
51:19I must see to that.
51:21First, we'll have Captain Drum.
51:23You!
51:23Come out.
51:31Come out.
51:46Come out.
51:48Come out.
51:50The End
52:20Ah, Captain Drummond, Miss Clavering.
52:29Places, everyone.
52:30Right over here, please.
52:32Facing me.
52:33And, Captain, you will be on Miss Clavering's right.
52:37Oh, yes, of course.
52:39Just a little bit closer, if you please, yes.
52:41And, Colonel, you will be on Miss Clavering's left.
52:43Oh, splendid.
52:44And, Mr. Longworth, you will right here.
52:47Oh, Captain Drummond's right.
52:49That's right.
52:49Well, now, splendid.
52:50Now, uh, supposing we run through it.
52:52All you have to do is to keep calm.
52:55Now, let me see.
52:57Uh, dearly beloved, we are gathered here.
53:05I say, Hugh, are you there?
53:08Oh.
53:08Oh.
53:12Where's Phyllis?
53:14Chin up, old boy.
53:15She's gone.
53:17Gone where?
53:18She and her aunt have departed for Africa, sir.
53:24Africa?
53:25Yes.
53:25To hunt lions.
53:27She said it would be safer, sir.
53:30Genghis, where?
53:39What's that?
53:41Well, no.
53:44I don't know.
53:46What?
53:47What's that?
53:47What?
53:47Lovely.
53:48The End
