Hello and welcome everyone. You're all invited on a cruise, not a three hour cruise but a whodunnit cruise. In this film from 1931, we have a man named Mr. Blair who also happen to be a Broadway producer, was just murdered on our California bound passenger liner. Now I will tell you that our Mr. Blair, Tony to his friends was to many very unpleasant, obnoxious you may even say. Now on this cruise there are many suspects but when another murder happens the truth comes out. Staring in this, does anyone happen to have any dramamine to spare, we have....Richard Tucker as Tony Blair, Aileen Pringle as Claire, Jameson Thomas as Bruce, Dorothy Christy as Constance, Harry Myers as Sturgeon, Niles Welch as Roy, Jack Mower as Henderson, Wilfred Lucas as Captain Hammond and even Wild Bill Elliott as a passenger. So get settle in our cabins, first class of course, make some Dry Martinis and enjoy. Also thanks so much for watching.

00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Oh, my God.
01:24Claire!
01:25Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
01:28Rather more of a surprise than a pleasure, I'm afraid.
01:31Oh, really, Mr. Blair?
01:33Haven't you already caused me enough trouble without trailing after me everywhere I go?
01:37Trailing after you?
01:38Why, don't be silly, Claire.
01:40I had no idea you were sailing today.
01:42I'm taking a trip for my health, you know.
01:44Absolute doctor's orders.
01:46No doubt.
01:47You look positively frail.
01:49I'll see you later.
01:50Yes, much later.
01:51Constance!
01:52Well, what are you doing here?
01:54Traveling for my health.
01:55Absolute doctor's orders and all that sort of stuff.
01:57Your friends seem delighted at seeing you.
01:59Temperament.
02:00Star of my late lamented show.
02:01Purely a professional association.
02:02But what are you doing here?
02:03I noticed that your wife didn't fall for me.
02:04I know.
02:05I know.
02:06I know.
02:07I know.
02:08I know.
02:09I know.
02:10I know.
02:11I know.
02:12I know.
02:13You were trying to catch you.
02:14I know.
02:15But why could you?
02:16I was wrong.
02:17I was wrong.
02:18I don't know.
02:19I don't know.
02:20I don't know.
02:21I'm sorry.
02:22I'm sorry.
02:23I'm sorry.
02:25I'm sorry.
02:26You're right.
02:27I'm sorry.
02:28I had to keep an eye on you.
02:31And here I am.
02:32Aren't you pleased?
02:33Delighted?
02:34I'm good.
02:35I have to try to see you.
02:37Hope, is your job?
02:38That's correct.
02:40I'll try to find you.
02:41You were attracting attention.
02:43Let's be nonchalant.
02:45Thanks.
02:47My lawyer suggested I sue you,
02:50but when I heard from a friend in your office,
02:55I thought perhaps the bird in hand was better.
02:59Interesting.
03:11Goodbye.
03:29In the second floor.
03:31In the second floor.
03:41Looks like we'd have a fair wind, Mr. Weldon.
03:45Yes.
03:51We're steering 170 gyro, 115 magnetic.
03:54170 gyro, 115 magnetic.
03:58Good afternoon, sir.
04:00Good afternoon, Mr. Rigby.
04:11Pardon me, Miss Norville.
04:12Captain Hamlin's compliments.
04:13Dinner will be served at 7.
04:15Oh, lovely.
04:16Helen, I shall be delighted.
04:21Don't bother about these.
04:22I'll hang them up.
04:23Well, just call me if you need them.
04:41I suppose this is also a coincidence.
04:54Well, with a little bit of contrivance, yes.
04:57You know the old adage.
04:59Love laughs at locks.
05:01I'm afraid I have no sense of humor.
05:03Why don't you see this thing sensibly, Claire?
05:06We could have a lovely voyage together.
05:09Claire.
05:13Hello.
05:14Percer, please.
05:20Hello.
05:21Percer speaking.
05:22This is Miss Norville and 125.
05:24I find this cabin decidedly depressing.
05:28I'd like to be transferred to another one.
05:30Yes, Miss Norville.
05:31I'll see what we have available.
05:34There may be an extra charge.
05:38That was entirely unnecessary.
05:40I wouldn't annoy you for the world.
05:42I can't depend on that.
05:44You know I'm quite mad about you.
05:47Can't we at least be friends?
05:49Not with connecting cabins.
05:52A purely professional association?
06:07Convenient, to say the least.
06:22You don't understand.
06:23No, I didn't.
06:24But I do now.
06:25Why, it was purely coincidence that our cabins happened to be next to each other.
06:31As soon as we found it out, Miss Norville asked the person to change her.
06:34Explanations are unnecessary, Tony.
06:36I thought I meant everything to you until you met that woman.
06:39Now I mean nothing.
06:41Connie.
06:42Don't get the idea that I'm jealous.
06:44I don't care.
06:46The only thing I'm interested in is my share.
06:50Here's a little lady you can't get rid of without a payoff.
06:56Well now, wait a minute, Connie.
07:02Your share?
07:04Pay off?
07:05Ask the little bird.
07:07I'm mum for the present.
07:09Look here, Connie.
07:10I don't get the inference of your remarks.
07:13You don't?
07:14No, I don't.
07:15What are you driving at, anyway?
07:17Consult your conscience if you have one.
07:26Hello, Mr. Blair.
07:27Oh, how are you?
07:29How are you?
07:30Did they expect to find you vacationing after yesterday's rumours?
07:33No.
07:34The street had your firm on the rocks.
07:35Oh, nothing to it, Alan.
07:36Nothing to it.
07:37Just a little rain.
07:38May I present Mr. Bruce Allen response?
07:40Not the Bruce Allen of the time.
07:43The criminology?
07:44The same.
07:45In person.
07:46How interesting.
07:47Are you on a cake now?
07:49No.
07:50Just taking a little vacation.
07:53Oh, I see.
07:54Well, we're taking a stroll.
07:57So long.
07:58See you later.
07:59care about the entertainment side of them.
08:00Bye.
08:05Hi.
08:06Hi.
08:07Hello, guys.
08:08Your friend Alan seems to obsess you.
08:10Do you think he knows anything?
08:11I don't see you.
08:12I don't know.
08:13Your friend Alan seems to upset you.
08:25Do you think he knows anything?
08:32Knows anything?
08:34Just what do you mean, Connie?
08:38You know.
08:43Well, well, look who's here.
08:49Still snooping, huh?
08:52No, just taking a trip for my health.
08:57Snooping's bad for that.
09:00Really?
09:02Is that a tip?
09:05What do you think?
09:11How's your friend?
09:13Martin.
09:17You ought to know.
09:20Still up the river.
09:23Oh, yes.
09:25You proved a perfect alibi.
09:28I remember.
09:32Marvelous member.
09:35You pity if you're lost.
09:39Flair's cabinet.
09:40I say, surgeon.
09:41Listen.
09:42What did make Bruce Allen of the time?
09:44Here.
09:46Where is he?
09:49Oh.
09:55Pleased to meet you, mister.
09:57Mister.
10:00Allen.
10:03Mister Alden.
10:04I've got the greatest cure for seasickness.
10:08If you ever get sick, let me know.
10:11My name is Sturgeon.
10:13If you seem to remember, just think of a fish.
10:16Yeah, all right.
10:16All right.
10:17Come on.
10:17I want to talk to you.
10:19A fish?
10:20You know what it is.
10:21Freak.
10:22Hey.
10:23I'm sure glad I bumped into that friend of yours.
10:26I'm not.
10:27He's a gentleman.
10:29Yeah?
10:30A perfect gentleman.
10:32Come on.
10:32I want to talk to you.
10:34Oh.
10:35Well.
10:35Fancy finding you here.
10:37The famous Bruce Allen.
10:39Vacationing or digging up some poor hidden skeleton?
10:42Hell, it's wrong both times.
10:44Just couldn't stand New York without the sight of it.
10:47How long has this been going on?
10:49Oh, ages.
10:50Ever since the opening of Spring Blossom.
10:52How interesting.
10:53Did you like the show?
10:55No.
10:55Can't say that I did.
10:57Thought your part was a little forced.
10:59Well, you're certainly frank.
11:01All the same, I'm very happy to see you again.
11:03Allow me to return the compliment.
11:16Is she steering a good course?
11:21Yes, sir.
11:24Mr. Whelan.
11:25Yes, sir.
11:27I'd like to have the ship's position by star, please.
11:30Yes, sir.
11:44Stand by.
11:47Time.
11:5725 degrees, 30 minutes.
12:04I've made the rounds.
12:05Find everything ship's shape, sir.
12:06Thank you, Mr. Rickby.
12:16Hello, you're a most unusual man.
12:24If you haven't told me that I danced with a violin.
12:27Or that I remind you of a game you were once crazy about.
12:29Aren't they a lovely-looking couple?
12:49I don't want to waste any time searching for bodies at sea.
13:01Don't be ridiculous.
13:03I'm ready.
13:14Can't you leave that bottle alone just once?
13:18Bottle?
13:20Bottle?
13:21Oh, you mean my seasick medicine.
13:26No, I don't.
13:28Either I meet Blair tonight or you go overboard.
13:31But I can't swim.
13:36You'll learn.
13:38You'll meet him.
13:41And when I meet Mr. Blair,
13:43try and remember that you were a gentleman once.
13:48Once?
13:49I resent that.
14:13Good evening, Miss Norville.
14:14Oh, good evening.
14:14Mr. Allen.
14:15Good evening.
14:16I hear the market took another tumble.
14:19Oh, really?
14:20You hear everything, don't you?
14:22No, but I managed to keep my ears open.
14:26Hmm.
14:34See him anyplace?
14:36There he is, over there.
14:44Come on.
14:45Not while I'll have him.
14:46Well, what difference does that make?
14:49A lot of difference.
14:51I don't understand it.
15:02I believe this is all done.
15:04Sorry.
15:05All right.
15:06Shall we?
15:06You know, you've been avoiding me for the past week.
15:24Have I?
15:24Stop.
15:25Stop in here.
15:30Stop in here.
15:33Let's go on dance, eh?
15:35I had nervous.
15:36I found it quite comfortable.
15:38There's something I want to tell you.
15:45Go ahead. I'm listening.
15:53Surely you'll grant me a moment.
16:08There you are. I thought it so impressive in there.
16:24Beautiful night, isn't it? So soft and farmy.
16:30Did we come out here to talk about the weather?
16:33No. We came out to talk about you.
16:37You seem to forget, Claire, that much of your success has come through me.
16:42I haven't forgotten, and I appreciate everything you've done for me.
16:46We've thrashed all this out before.
16:49I could do a great deal more for you, Claire.
16:52I...Claire, I will.
16:55Why won't you listen to Reed?
16:58Why do you treat me like a schoolboy?
17:01That would hardly be safe.
17:04Oh, let me go.
17:06Oh, please.
17:08Claire.
17:14I thought I heard Miss Norvell ask you to let her go.

21:02Sturgeon.

21:53Well, you'll find a chair over there.
21:55Thanks very much.
21:59I think that's correct.
22:01No.
22:03Now then.
22:04Do you know you're positive, Bill?
22:17You've been breathing for an hour.
22:19What are you thinking about?
22:21The isolation of a ship.
22:23Always sets me breathing.
22:26A little world of our own.
22:29Completely shut off
22:30from all the potential elements.
22:33Good.
22:35Bad.
22:37You almost frighten me.
22:40Imagine a hard-boiled newspaper man
22:43waxing romantic.
22:49I didn't expect that
22:51from you.
22:54I didn't manage.
22:57It just happened.
23:01I believe you.
23:03And I'm not sorry.
23:06And I'm just a little bit glad.
23:14Who's South Harvest, my name?
23:15South Harvest, sir.
23:16You won't regret this evening.

24:08Hi, Paul.
24:34How was that, thunder?
24:39Must be a storm.
24:42Sleepy, why don't you go to bed?
24:44All right.
24:45Cards.
24:46Here we go.
24:47Queen.
24:48Trey.
24:49Three reds.
24:51Eight.
24:53Fair queens.
24:57And an ace.
24:59Go, Benson.
25:01Five reds.
25:03Your five and five more, Mr. Blair.
25:10I'll call you.
25:14Fair aces.
25:16Fair aces.
25:18Well, aces again, eh?
25:21You seem to connect quite regularly when you deal, Mr. Henderson.
25:26Mark was uncalled for.
25:27Oh, I mean it.
25:28What are you going to do about it?
25:29Fair spot, Tony.
25:30He's a regular fellow.
25:31He's a regular crook.
25:33Are you going to pay or welch?
25:35Oh, I'll pay.
25:37All right, really?
25:38He's a regular fellow.
25:39He's a regular crook.
25:40Are you going to pay or welch?
25:43Oh, I'll pay.
26:16Well, Henderson, how much do I owe you?
26:21Twelve hundred and fifty dollars.
26:23There it is, Captain.
26:24Oh, that's all.
26:26One thousand?
26:30Two fifty.
26:31Now, get out.
26:35Before we finish this trip, you'll be sorry that you made that remark, Mr. Blair.
26:41Come on, you'd better go.
26:43Good night.
26:46If you get seasick, see me.
26:50Think of a fish.
27:00Tony, if you ever get seasick, see me.
27:05All right, I will, Milan.
27:07Go ahead, I'll be right down.
27:08Well, hurry up.
27:10Don't sleep it.
27:11And how much did you win?
27:17Nine hundred, Mr. Blair.
27:19Try and get it.
27:21What do you mean?
27:22You know what I mean.
27:23You're a professional gambler and a crook.
27:26I was on the Britannia in 1928 when you were put in the brig for cheating at cars.
27:30The name was Benton.
27:31Now, uh, get out.
27:36Nobody ever said that to me and got away with it.
27:39Well, I'll get away with it.
27:44To me.
27:44Come on, Stuart.
27:58Clean up this mess, please.
28:00Yes, sir.
28:00Who's there?
28:19Oh, it's you.
28:20I just dropped in to tell you that I met Mr. Blair and had a very profitable evening.
28:33What do you mean?
28:34I have twelve hundred and fifty dollars of his money.
28:37How did you get it?
28:38Oh, a fast shuffle.
28:41I warned you to keep away from him.
28:44I'm sorry, sister, but sometimes I'm dreadfully hard at hearing.
28:50And I'm not through with Mr. Blair.
28:56What do you mean?
28:58Oh, nothing.
29:12Give me Mr. Blair.
29:14Never mind, operator.
29:20You met Bland, didn't you, sir?
29:25Yes, I met him.
29:27And I'm going to meet him again.
29:30And I'm going to bed.
29:31I'm sleeping.
29:37You go ahead, then.
29:38I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:40And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:41And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:42And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:43And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:44And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:45And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:46And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:47And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:48And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:49And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:50And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:51And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:52And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:53And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
29:54And I'm going up on deck and get them there.
30:25How are you, Mr. Allen?
30:45Hi, sir, sir.
30:47Pretty late for you to be up, isn't it?
30:49Yes, I should have turned in an hour ago.
30:52Good night.
30:52Good night.
30:55Good night.
31:25Good night, sir.
31:29I came only to return this.
31:30But I want you to have it as a token of my esteem.
31:33My favours are not for sale.
31:36I assure you I didn't mean that.
31:38Oh, yes, you did.
31:39But let me show it.
31:40I'm not interested.
31:41Now look here, Claire.
31:42You owe me a certain amount of consideration.
31:4430, 25, 40, sir.
31:4930, 25, 40, thank you.
31:51Good night.
31:51Good night, sir.
31:52Good night, sir.
31:52Good night, sir.
31:54Good night.
32:08Oh, yes, you did.
32:11Good night.
32:13Good night.
32:45I've sent for Mr. Allen, the criminologist who's on board, and I'm going to ask him to take charge of this unfortunate affair.
32:56This is the captain, sir.
32:59Thanks.
33:03Send for me, Captain.
33:04Yes, Mr. Allen. I'm going to ask you to help us.
33:06Yes, Mr. Weldon is talking.
33:09When did it happen?
33:10This morning, sometime after one o'clock.
33:13Anthony Blair.
33:15Hello, Mr. Allen. This is Dr. Eichner.
33:17How do you do, doctor?
33:19Of course, you examined the body.
33:20Yes, death was caused by some sharp lady, Mr.
33:23Probably a knife or a dagger that pierced the heart.
33:26Stabs to the chest, I see.
33:28Yes, and you'll notice the deep gash over the left eye caused by some blunt instrument.
33:32Oh, Stuart.
33:34Yes, sir.
33:35Were you in this cabin at any time last night?
33:37Yes, sir.
33:38Was anyone else here at the time?
33:41Yes, sir.
33:41Mr. Sturgeon and the man who shares his cabin.
33:44Mr. Dayton, the wireless operator, and the man in D-14.
33:48They were playing poker.
33:50Wasn't there a woman here, too?
33:52No, sir.
33:53What?
33:53Uh, yes, sir.
33:55I did see a lady enter after the men left.
33:59Would you know her if you saw her again?
34:03Yes, sir.
34:04I think so.
34:05Let me see.
34:06It's breakfast time.
34:07Go to the dining saloon and see if you can find the lady in question.
34:11If he finds her, may he ask her to your quarters for questioning?
34:13Certainly.
34:14Still do as Mr. Allen asks.
34:16Yes, sir.
34:16Well, I'd like to see the men whose names were mentioned there, too.
34:21Yes, sir.
34:22Mr. Weldon, will you get those men, please?
34:23Yes.
34:38Blunt instrument.
34:41Take a look at those stains, Doctor.
34:44That's blood, isn't it?
34:45Looks like it.
34:47Doctor, in your opinion, would the average woman have enough strength to
34:51plunge a knife deep enough into a man's body to reach his heart?
34:55I doubt it under normal conditions.
34:57But if she were desperate, terribly frightened, or in a fit of anger,
35:00it's quite possible.
35:02What about an unusually strong woman?
35:05Very possible.
35:07I'm through here for the time being.
35:09I'd like to go to your quarters.
35:11All right, then, Doctor Eichler, you take charge of the body.
35:16Well, steward, did you find the lady?
35:22The lady is here, sir.
35:24Ask her to come in.
35:25Did you send for me, Captain Hammond?
35:41I did, Miss Norvell.
35:43Will you be seated, please?
35:58Captain Hammond, there's a Miss Forbes aboard.
36:00I'd like to see her, too.
36:01Mr. Weldon, will you get Miss Forbes, please?
36:03Yes, sir.
36:26Something very unfortunate has occurred,
36:29and if you'll be patient for a few moments,
36:32Mr. Allen will tell you all about it.
36:39What does this mean, Captain Hammond?
36:41Mr. Allen will tell you.
36:53I think you all knew Mr. Blair.
36:54Last night, he was murdered.
37:01Tony Blair murdered?
37:06And the person who killed him
37:08is in this room.
37:11Ladies and gentlemen,
37:21as master of this ship,
37:23I have appointed Mr. Allen
37:24to take charge of the investigation.
37:27Captain Hammond, I'd like to question
37:28these people one at a time.
37:30May they wait in there?
37:31Sure.
37:31I want to see Mr. Dayton first.
37:33Mr. Allen,
37:35may I leave?
37:36I have a lot of cabins to make up.
37:37Oh, yes, he can go.
37:50Would you kindly step in this cabin, please?
37:53I really think this is an outpatient.
37:55Well, I don't know what this is all about.
37:58Did you play poker with Mr. Blair last night?
38:26Yes, sir.
38:27How well do you know him?
38:28Not at all.
38:29I delivered a radiogram to Mr. Blair.
38:31There were four playing.
38:32They asked me to join him.
38:33Being off-duty, I suffered.
38:35Did you win?
38:36No, I lost a few dollars.
38:38What time did you leave Blair's cabin?
38:40Oh, I'd say about 1.30.
38:42I went to the smoking room
38:44where I met Mr. Henderson.
38:45We sat there and talked
38:46for fully an hour.
38:47Is it customary for you
38:48to sit about half the night?
38:50And you have to be on duty at 8?
38:51No, sir.
38:52But Mr. Henderson
38:53had had an argument
38:54with Mr. Blair.
38:54He was in a dangerous mood
38:57and I thought he'd get over it
38:58if we talked a while.
38:59What was the argument about him?
39:01Mr. Blair accused Mr. Henderson of cheating.
39:05Did you or did you not
39:07have an argument
39:07with Mr. Blair last night?
39:10Yes, I did.
39:11He called me a crook
39:13and naturally
39:14I took exception to it.
39:17Did you threaten him?
39:18Well, not exactly.
39:20I simply told him
39:21that before this trip was over
39:22he'd regret what he had said to me.
39:27But why suspect me?
39:28My dear sir,
39:29everyone connected with this case
39:31is under suspicion
39:31and still proven innocent.
39:35That's all.
39:37Did Mr. Fenton
39:38go to the cabin with you?
39:39Yes.
39:43Did he go to bed?
39:45No.
39:46He went for a walk.
39:50Do you think it's possible
39:51that you might have done the murder?
39:57Did I?
39:59I'm asking you.
40:03No.
40:03Where else were you
40:07during the evening?
40:10All over the boat.
40:13All right.
40:14Why did you quarrel
40:15with Mr. Blair last night?
40:17He quarreled with me.
40:18I didn't quarrel with him.
40:20Captain?
40:22Alan quarreled with Blair
40:23earlier in the evening himself.
40:25I heard him.
40:27Mr. Blair was annoying
40:28Miss Norvell
40:28and I went to her assistant.
40:30It wasn't anything serious.
40:31What did you quarrel about?
40:34Because he refused
40:35to pay his honest
40:35gambling debt.
40:36Honest gambling debt?
40:37Yes.
40:41How you changed.
40:43You say you saw
40:44Miss Norvell
40:45leave Blair's cabin
40:46about 1.30.
40:47I did.
40:48What were you doing
40:49wandering about
40:49at that time in the morning?
40:50I had a headache
40:51and I went to
40:53Mr. Blair's cabin
40:54for...
40:55For what?
40:56An aspirin tablet.
40:57Why didn't you ring
41:00for the stewardess?
41:04I don't think
41:05you're telling the truth
41:06Miss Forbes.
41:09Did you enter
41:09his cabin?
41:11No.
41:11When I saw
41:12Miss Norvell
41:12had been there
41:13I decided
41:14it might be
41:14embarrassing.
41:17What time
41:18did you retire
41:19last night?
41:21About
41:21two o'clock.
41:24Where were you
41:24between 1 and 1.30?
41:25In Mr. Blair's cabin.
41:32Was he alone?
41:35Yes.
41:37I'm afraid
41:37I must ask you
41:38what you were doing there.
41:41I went there
41:42to return something.
41:43We got in an argument
41:44and he refused
41:45to let me go.
41:48Tell me
41:48what exactly
41:50were the relations
41:50between you
41:51and Mr. Blair?
41:51Mr. Blair
41:54backed the play
41:55I was in
41:56and during the run
41:57of the engagement
41:57he repeatedly
41:58forced his attention
41:59upon me.
42:00His wife divorced him
42:01and the papers
42:01intimated that I
42:02was the cause
42:03of it all.
42:04Naturally
42:04it was very
42:05unpleasant publicity
42:06and I decided
42:06to go away.
42:08Mr. Blair
42:08followed you
42:09on board
42:09this vessel?
42:10Yes.
42:11Captain
42:12would you like
42:12to ask
42:13Miss Norvell
42:13any questions?
42:15Yes.
42:20Miss Norvell
42:20have you ever
42:21seen this before?
42:26Take it away.
42:27I did it.
42:28I killed him.
42:29I don't realise
42:29what you're saying.
42:30But I tell you
42:30I did it.
42:31He locked the door
42:32and came at me
42:32like a beast.
42:33Oh I was terrified.
42:35Before I realised
42:36what I was doing
42:36I struck him
42:37over the head
42:37with it.
42:38Then he
42:39staggered
42:40in the next room
42:40and I left.
42:42Oh but I
42:43didn't know
42:44he was dead.
42:45Oh it's alright.
42:45It's alright.
42:46He wasn't dead then.
42:48He was stabbed
42:49afterwards
42:49with a knife.
42:50But Captain
42:58Hammond
42:58still believes
42:59I did it.
43:04Everything
43:04points
43:05definitely
43:05to you.
43:07I'm doing
43:08everything
43:08in my power
43:09to clear you.
43:11But I must
43:11have all
43:12the facts.
43:12is there
43:23anything
43:23you've forgotten
43:24to tell me?
43:34So you too
43:35are beginning
43:36to doubt me?
43:36No.
43:43But I still
43:44feel you're
43:45holding something
43:45back.
43:49I'm sorry
43:50but I've
43:51told you
43:51everything I can.
43:52Claire
43:53you're making
43:54it dreadfully
43:54difficult for me.
44:10Now listen
44:10I want my
44:11split.
44:12you can't
44:15double-cross
44:16me.
44:16I'll get it
44:17or else
44:18I'll tell
44:18who killed you.
44:19what do you
44:22make of it?
44:23Just a moment
44:24Captain.
44:27Well
44:27anything new
44:30developed?
44:31No.
44:34I've
44:35deciphered
44:35the message
44:36found in
44:36Mr. Blair's
44:36pocket.
44:38It doesn't
44:39help us
44:39I tell you
44:41Mr. Allen
44:41that Norvell
44:42girl is
44:42guilty.
44:43I agree
44:43with the
44:44Captain.
44:44I disagree
44:45with you
44:45sir.
44:46It's purely
44:46circumstantial
44:47evidence.
44:48Mr. Weldon
44:49is right.
44:51You're
44:51trying to
44:51pin the
44:52murder on
44:52this girl
44:52Captain
44:53purely on
44:53circumstantial
44:54evidence.
44:55But I'll
44:56prove you
44:56wrong
44:57before this
44:58night is
44:58over.
45:00Captain
45:01Hammond
45:01Mr. Dayton
45:03has been
45:03found murdered.
45:05Mr. Dayton
45:05Where?
45:06On
45:07sea deck
45:07just
45:08forward
45:08to Miss
45:08Norvell's
45:09cabin.
45:09Good
45:10heavens.
45:10Take us
45:11there at
45:11once.
45:12Come
45:12doctor.
45:19His
45:19heart was
45:20pierced
45:20with an
45:20eye.
45:21He was
45:21the
45:22wireless
45:22operator
45:22wasn't
45:23he?
45:23Yes.
45:24I think
45:24I'd like
45:25to go
45:25to the
45:25wireless
45:25room.
45:26These
45:27are all
45:27that are
45:27in the
45:27logs
45:27sir.
45:34Nothing
45:34unusual
45:35here.
45:35I think
45:40there's a
45:41message
45:41missing.
45:44It should
45:44be
45:45in New
45:46York.
45:47We'll find
45:48out.
45:49Raise
45:49say they'll
45:50ask for
45:50a repeat
45:50on all
45:51messages
45:51in the
45:51last
45:5124
45:52hours.
45:52Yes,
45:52sir.
45:54Come on.
45:54Come on.
45:54You've
46:16seen that
46:16one.
46:24one too.
46:54Here's
46:55one you
46:55haven't
46:55seen.
46:55one.
46:56BIRDS CHIRP
47:26Anthony Blair absconded with $100,000 of his firm's money.
47:33Find the money and you have the murderer.
47:36I think Mr. Allen is absolutely right, Captain Hammond.
47:39I'm sure he is, Mr. Weldon.
47:42I dislike doing it, but I'm afraid we shall have to search the cabins of all those you question.
47:47Mr. Weldon, get a master key from the purser and meet me in front of my cabin.
47:50Yes.
47:52We'll search Miss Norvell's cabin first.
47:54I'm convinced she's implicated.
47:57And I'm convinced that she's innocent.
47:59And if you insist upon searching her cabin, then count me out of it.
48:03Oh, now, don't take that attitude, please, Mr. Allen.
48:05You know, we're all working toward the same end.
48:08But if you feel that way about it, I'll search her cabin and you can look through some of the others.
48:13All right.
48:14Mr. Wrigley, keep this information from the crew and the passengers.
48:17Yes, sir.
48:18Not a word, Sparks.
48:23Yes, sir.
48:28Where's my ship?
48:29It wasn't as much as I figured.
48:30Pardon me.
48:31I don't want to.
48:34I've got my half coming and I'm going to get it.
48:37Good heavens.
48:55I wonder if she's been...
48:56Open that door.
48:58Hurry.
48:59Hurry.
48:59Hurry.
48:59Hurry.
48:59Hurry.
49:01Hurry.
49:03I beg your pardon, Miss Norwell.
49:09We knocked.
49:10We thought there was no one in.
49:11What are you doing here?
49:16Mr. Blair had $100,000 in his cabin at the time of his murder.
49:22That money has disappeared and we're looking for it.
49:25But I know nothing about it.
49:27Mr. Weldon, see what you can find.
49:33This is an outrage.
49:42Under the circumstances, I have no alternative.
50:03Captain Hammond, I found this on the shelf in the closet.
50:18So you didn't know there was any money here?
50:21You didn't know anything about it?
50:24But I...
50:25I don't understand.
50:28Perhaps the police will understand when we dock tomorrow?
50:31Find Mr. Allen, please, and ask him to come to my cabin immediately.
50:37Yes.
50:44Miss Norwell, you may consider yourself under technical arrest.
50:49You mean I'm a prisoner?
50:51You're not to leave your cabin until the ship docks.
51:01Mr. Allen, Captain Hammond would like to see you right away.
51:09We found $5,000 in new bills in Miss Norwell's cabin.
51:13I have an errand to do and then I'll be right up.
51:15Thank you, Mr. Weldon.
51:28Thanks, sir.
51:30I have an errand.
53:30Good evening, Mr. Weldon.
53:35Good evening.
53:36Visiting?
53:37No.
53:39Just working on a little theory of my own.
53:41You're certainly a hard worker, Mr. Weldon.
53:43I do appreciate the way you've been trying to help us solve this mystery.
53:47Oh, I don't mind.
53:48It agrees with me.
53:50So I noticed.
53:53You seem to be putting on a little weight.
54:00Oh, Mr. Allen.
54:03Mr. Weldon has told you about our finding the money in Miss Norvell's cabin?
54:06Yes, he has.
54:07I didn't want to go on with our search there until I had you with me.
54:11Shall we go down the knoll?
54:12Wait a minute, Captain.
54:13I think I can save you the trouble.
54:16Put up your hands, Weldon.
54:17What do you mean?
54:17Put them up.
54:18Rigby, open his coat.
54:19There's the balance of your money.
54:28Rigby, take the gun.
54:30What does this mean?
54:31It means that Mr. Dayton received the wireless message
54:34and conspired with his friend Weldon to rob Blair.
54:37Blair resisted, so they killed him.
54:40Why was Dayton killed?
54:41Because dead men tell no tale.
54:45You shouldn't have planted that money in Miss Norvell's cabin.
54:48That was your only mistake.
54:52Outside of that, it was a pretty good job.
54:55Bon voyage, Mr. Weldon.
55:15Great.
55:18Why don't you use your seasick remedy?
55:31I did!
55:31Oh, oh...
55:36Oops!
55:52Big cousin's stretching on the veil!
55:55Big cousin's stretching on the veil!
55:58Miss Norville, I feel that we all owe you an apology.
56:13Oh, please don't I. I'm sorry.
56:15Oh, Miss Forbes, I'd like you to congratulate me.
56:20I left New York a bachelor, and I'm going home a married man.
56:23And we'd like to see you sometime.
56:25You won't see me. I'm planning another trip for my health.
56:31Goodbye.
56:33Goodbye.
56:35Haven't I anything to say about this?
56:37Nothing at all.
56:39Well, I didn't get to say this.
56:40I'm not the least bit sorry.
56:43And I've just been explained.
56:50Is there any privacy aboard the vessel?
56:55I'm not the only thing to say about this.
