00:00:00THE END
00:00:30All right, Professor Carroll, we're alone.
00:00:59Let's see the formula.
00:01:00I wouldn't risk putting anything as valuable in writing.
00:01:02I keep it up here.
00:01:04Now, this is the heart of the process.
00:01:07It works perfectly.
00:01:09Using this as the basic component,
00:01:12our other chemists will be able to blend their solutions
00:01:14with absolute certainty of success.
00:01:21I shall demonstrate the process to you,
00:01:23and you alone,
00:01:25so that only you and I will know it.
00:01:29Military intelligence.
00:01:43And hurry!
00:01:45Yes.
00:01:47Just a moment, please.
00:01:48George,
00:01:50would you mind leaving?
00:01:51I'll call you later.
00:01:51For the present,
00:01:57his death must remain an absolute secret.
00:01:59I'll be there to work with you.
00:02:01Right.
00:02:05This is Martin.
00:02:06Let me speak to the chief on his private line.
00:02:10We haven't learned any more about Professor Carroll's death.
00:02:12There was no one who would know his work,
00:02:17except a brother,
00:02:18Greg Carroll,
00:02:19in selective service at Camp Madison.
00:02:21Yes, sir.
00:02:30Hi.
00:02:32Hey!
00:02:34Say, aren't you the fellow that I saw
00:02:35do those card tricks the other night?
00:02:37Well, yes, sir.
00:02:37I and Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:02:39Tell me you hail from Boston.
00:02:41Well, I used to.
00:02:42Well, we got some young recruits
00:02:43from your hometown in today.
00:02:45Why don't you go over and say hello to them?
00:02:46Hey, bring any cigarettes?
00:02:49Plenty.
00:02:50Okay, Sard.
00:02:50They'll be welcome.
00:02:51Hey!
00:03:12Whoa!
00:03:13How's that you pull that one still off,
00:03:15and I'm going to knock you right out of the nose?
00:03:16Uh-uh.
00:03:17Careful now.
00:03:17Remember me?
00:03:18I'm the guy who drives the Colonel.
00:03:20We're going to town tonight.
00:03:21The Colonel's car.
00:03:21Just you and me.
00:03:22What?
00:03:23You get stuck with that sister again?
00:03:24And spend the evening discussing music and philosophy?
00:03:27Count me out.
00:03:28I'm talking about the other sister.
00:03:30Oh, sounds horny to me.
00:03:32Corporal Greg Carroll,
00:03:33the captain wants you.
00:03:35I'll be right over.
00:03:36Where's this other sister come from?
00:03:39Talk to the kid.
00:03:40Well, what are you waiting for?
00:03:42You.
00:03:42The captain that's waiting.
00:03:44Listen, Flunky.
00:03:45Never disturb a regular soldier
00:03:46when he's in conference.
00:03:47Speed it up, soldier.
00:03:49Looks like he's giving orders.
00:03:51Okay, Shrimp.
00:03:53Let's see if you're really built for speed.
00:03:55I'll tell the captain to send a real man next time.
00:03:58Let's go.
00:03:59Hey!
00:04:00Hey, remember, Greg, it's a date tonight.
00:04:02Okay.
00:04:03Looking for something?
00:04:14Yes, you.
00:04:16In there?
00:04:17This is no time to be funny.
00:04:18I'm sorry, sir.
00:04:19I couldn't help that one.
00:04:20Just looking at my desk.
00:04:21Can I help you find it?
00:04:22You'd better find it.
00:04:23You're under suspicion.
00:04:25Say, maybe you'd better tell me
00:04:26what this is all about, lieutenant.
00:04:27What do you want?
00:04:29I'm reporting, sir.
00:04:31Delivering Corporal Greg Carroll to the captain.
00:04:33What delayed you?
00:04:35He ran ahead of me, sir.
00:04:37Wait outside.
00:04:39Come in to the captain.
00:04:46Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:04:47Carol, have you ever opened this private safe?
00:04:54No, sir.
00:04:55You know how to open it?
00:04:56Oh, yes, sir.
00:04:57Just where did you learn that?
00:04:59Well, for one thing, I have good ears, sir.
00:05:01Oh, I suppose you heard the tumblers drop.
00:05:02Well, I don't mean that, captain,
00:05:03but you see, sir, you mumble when you open the safe.
00:05:0718 to the right.
00:05:08Never mind the imitation.
00:05:11Maybe you can tell us how a secret document
00:05:13was taken from that safe.
00:05:14Oh, you mean the paper that was in that folder?
00:05:16Yes, that's exactly what I do mean.
00:05:19Why did you take it out of that safe?
00:05:21Well, I didn't, sir.
00:05:23You left it on the desk,
00:05:24and I just filed it away for safekeeping.
00:05:26It's my job.
00:05:28You get that back right away.
00:05:31Yes, sir.
00:05:31Just a second, Carol.
00:05:33I'd like to ask you a question.
00:05:35Go ahead.
00:05:35How could you file it properly without reading it?
00:05:37Even if you read it, he wouldn't understand it.
00:05:40But I did know what it was.
00:05:41There were four names on it.
00:05:43Men working on secret inventions.
00:05:44Keep quiet, Carol.
00:05:44Well, that's something not even the lieutenant should know.
00:05:48Captain, I knew it because my brother's name is on the list.
00:05:51He's a professor.
00:05:52They took him out of technical school to work on this invention.
00:05:54It's a secret explosive.
00:05:56Well, I didn't know that myself.
00:05:58Bring me the file.
00:06:00Yes, sir.
00:06:03High five.
00:06:20Noble.
00:06:20Hello, soldier.
00:06:32Hi, Alma.
00:06:34Why didn't you come for this?
00:06:37I've been busy.
00:06:40Well, what happened to the big plate you were giving me?
00:06:43Why the quick freeze?
00:06:45I thought I was in the lieutenant's territory.
00:06:49Don't let that bother you.
00:06:50Don't let that bother you.
00:06:51No?
00:06:52No.
00:06:53No.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55There's a file, sir.
00:06:56What was that paper she gave you?
00:06:57It's a list of tonight's entertainment in the recreation hall.
00:06:58Does she come in here very often?
00:06:59Every day.
00:07:00You know what's against orders to let any outsider in these offices.
00:07:01What?
00:07:02No.
00:07:03No.

00:09:46Yes, ma'am. I'm what the captain called a blizzard errand boy.
00:09:50Hey, wait a moment.
00:10:00Hey, wait a moment.
00:10:16What is this?
00:10:18You're the cobbler, ain't you?
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:20Then start cobbling.
00:10:22Hey.
00:10:24Hey.
00:10:26Hey.

00:10:38Hey.
00:10:42Hey.
00:10:44Hey, if you don't pay attention to me, I'm going to make your life miserable.
00:10:52Hey, if you don't pay attention to me, I'm going to make your life miserable.
00:11:08Listen, you shrimp, get up on your feet and trot over here.
00:11:11I've got things to say.
00:11:14Okay, I gave you plenty of chances.
00:11:20Okay.
00:11:20Yeah, I thought that'd get you.
00:11:21Now listen to me.
00:11:23If you don't cut this out, I'll report you to the captain.
00:11:25Yeah, what'll he do, put me in jail?
00:11:28All right.
00:11:30All right, what do you want?
00:11:31You got change of a dollar?
00:11:33What could you do in there with change for a dollar?
00:11:35I want a nickel to telephone.
00:11:36Are you crazy?
00:11:37I suppose you want me to bring a phone into you.
00:11:39No, I want you to take me to a phone.
00:11:41Listen, it's a matter of life and death.
00:11:43Yeah, for me too, if I ever let you out of there.
00:11:45Oh, so you want to be tough.
00:11:47Okay, shrimp.
00:11:49All I want to do is get to the telephone.
00:11:50Is there anything difficult about that?
00:11:52Sam, do you want me to get special permission for you from the colonel?
00:11:55Oh, I have that special permission from the colonel.
00:11:57Get me special permission from the colonel.
00:11:58Send me over here with this food, sir, for somebody.
00:12:01Okay, Sam.
00:12:01I'll let you in this monkey's cage.
00:12:03And one false move out of you and I'll clunk you on the ear with it.
00:12:06Uh...
00:12:07What for are you locking me in here for?
00:12:13I haven't done nothing ever.
00:12:14I haven't?
00:12:15Put that food down and I'll let you out.
00:12:17Well, where am I going to put it?
00:12:19Throw it at him if you have to or dump it on the floor.
00:12:21Yeah, put it here.
00:12:26Only mugs like that that give you trouble.
00:12:28Yeah, I don't want no trouble.
00:12:30I want to get out of here.
00:12:31I suppose I tell you how to keep out of trouble.
00:12:33If you know that, how come you in here?
00:12:35Because I went against these cards.
00:12:37Uh-oh.
00:12:37Here it comes.
00:12:38Uh-uh.
00:12:39It's bad luck to walk away from them.
00:12:40They tell you fortune.
00:12:40They told me they were going to meet up with that shrimp there.
00:12:42What's this card?
00:12:44Ace of Spain.
00:12:45That means death and destruction.
00:12:48Death and destruction?
00:12:50For me?
00:12:50Oh, for the man who gets it.
00:12:52Come on.
00:12:52Get out of here.
00:12:53He's a faker, Sam.
00:12:54He said it's bad luck to walk away from them cards.
00:12:57You say your name is Sam?
00:12:58That's right.
00:12:59There's three letters in, Sam.
00:13:01One, two, three.
00:13:03Pick the third card.
00:13:05What does it say?
00:13:06Your life is a happy world.
00:13:08You attract romance.
00:13:11Where can I get some of these?
00:13:12Well, you can have these cheap.
00:13:14How much money have you got?
00:13:15Well, let's see.
00:13:16I know.
00:13:17That last game was...
00:13:19These dice, rabbit foot, and a nickel.
00:13:22That's just what I want.
00:13:23The nickel.
00:13:24If you don't come out now, I'll keep you in there all night.
00:13:27I'm coming right now.
00:13:28I've got to get rid of one of these cards.
00:13:30You can have this old death and destruction.
00:13:31Come on, though.
00:13:32I don't want it.
00:13:34Death and destruction.
00:13:38Nice trick, soldier.
00:13:40Getting that nickel.
00:13:41Now maybe you can pull a telephone out of your hat.
00:13:44When I know the answer to that, I'll remind you of that crack.
00:13:47Death and destruction.
00:13:48And you can pull a telephone out of your hat.
00:14:07You can pull a telephone out of your hat.
00:14:08It may be a little bit.
00:14:10Good evening.
00:14:26Good evening.
00:14:33You came to the wrong place.
00:14:36The lady couldn't make that mistake.
00:14:38She knows you very well.
00:14:39Her name is Alma.
00:14:40I don't remember the lady.
00:14:43But you tell her I'm sorry.
00:14:44I only repair men's shoes.
00:14:46But you must remember the lady.
00:14:48Why, your name is on her recommendation paper.
00:14:51It's Barton.
00:14:52Alma Barton.
00:14:55Holy Barton girl.
00:14:57Alma Barton.
00:14:59I didn't know she was here.
00:15:00You don't keep in very close touch with your friends, do you?
00:15:03Well, young girls forget old men like me.
00:15:07But my wife, she'd be glad to see Alma.
00:15:09You tell her where we are, huh?
00:15:12She's a very pretty girl, Alma.
00:15:15She should be very happy with the many soldiers at your place.
00:15:19Oh, then you did know she was in camp.
00:15:22Oh, yes.
00:15:23You just told me.
00:15:26You tell Alma, come see us.
00:15:29Don't forget.
00:15:30I won't forget.
00:15:33I won't forget.
00:15:33I won't forget.
00:15:33I won't forget.
00:16:00I won't forget.
00:16:06Hey!
00:16:08Hey, where are I going?
00:16:30Come on, come on!
00:16:44Come on, come on!
00:17:00Come on, come on!
00:17:26Come on, come on!
00:17:32It's all yours, boys!
00:17:36Oh, Sergeant Blake!
00:17:45Hi.
00:17:46Hi.
00:17:47You're always looking for news.
00:17:49You mean your boyfriend?
00:17:51That's him.
00:17:52Well, they put him in the guardhouse.
00:17:54Well, this is news.
00:17:56Why'd they do that?
00:17:58Isn't that a terrible thing for him?
00:18:00It all depends on what he did.
00:18:02That's what I thought you'd know.
00:18:03No, this is the first that I've heard of.
00:18:06Well, thanks anyway.
00:18:09Anything else I can do for you?
00:18:11Not right now.
00:18:13Okay.
00:18:15What's the idea?
00:18:21Why'd you have to blab everything?
00:18:23How'd you know I was in the guardhouse?
00:18:24Well, I've got ears and eyes, haven't I?
00:18:25What are you doing here?
00:18:26I want a telephone.
00:18:27You'll get caught.
00:18:28Not if you help me.
00:18:30Wait a minute, keep down.
00:18:32Hello, Alma.
00:18:34Lieutenant, you're late.
00:18:36You're late.
00:18:37I've been looking for you.
00:18:39I'm afraid I'll have to cancel that date with you tonight.
00:18:41Don't say that, Alma.
00:18:43I've made special arrangements.
00:18:44But you're late.
00:18:45For a very good reason.
00:18:48Look, for you.
00:18:51Why, it's lovely, Lieutenant.
00:18:54Oh, I'm not, Lieutenant.
00:18:56Well, you're very kind, John.
00:19:00May I take you home tonight?
00:19:03Well, I'm sorry, but I have something to do.
00:19:07You call me later.
00:19:09At home.
00:19:11I'll call you.
00:19:19You know, I've got just about one minute before they close this place.
00:19:22See if the road's clear to the telephone.
00:19:24Why don't you let me telephone for you?
00:19:25Ah, this is important.
00:19:26Private.
00:19:27Wait a minute.
00:19:30The road's clear.
00:19:31Sneak around that way.
00:19:32Okay, thanks.
00:20:00The road and年前 just passed away.
00:20:03The road.
00:20:04Standing aslive.
00:20:05Okay.
00:20:06Well, I've been waiting for you inside.
00:20:08Yes, and I'm going to acute for the road.
00:20:11Oh, is this Gregory?
00:20:37No, your brother's not here.
00:20:39No, I'm worried.
00:20:41He should have been home this morning.
00:20:43Now, why don't you call back in an hour?
00:20:46I can't call again.
00:20:48Tell my brother to be careful.
00:20:50He's in great danger.
00:20:52I'll wait for his call here.
00:20:55Phone me at Gladstone 16111.
00:21:00All out, men.
00:21:02Nine o'clock.
00:21:04Come on, break it up.
00:21:06All out, men. Nine o'clock.
00:21:08Break it up. Get going soon.
00:21:10Come on, boys.
00:21:12Just again.
00:21:13Nine o'clock.
00:21:14Break it up.
00:21:15Keep going, soldiers.
00:21:17Awful luck.
00:21:19Nine o'clock.
00:21:20Keep going.
00:21:21Break it up, soldiers.
00:21:23Come on.
00:21:25Uh, that's all right, Sam.
00:21:27I'll lock that up tonight.
00:21:28But Sam, I'd like to oblige.
00:21:30But I've got orders.
00:21:31And orders, orders to Sam.
00:21:32I've got to lock it up.
00:21:33I'm sorry.
00:21:34In the morning, I'll kill them.
00:21:35All right.
00:21:36In the morning, I'm sorry.
00:21:37I'll get it.
00:21:38Do what they tell me in the morning.
00:21:41All right.
00:21:42All right, Mr. McColl.
00:21:43What's that you've got there, Sam?
00:22:00Miss Alma, here's a package of man at the gate for you.
00:22:03When?
00:22:04Oh, about an hour ago.
00:22:06Thanks, Sam.
00:22:07You're welcome.
00:22:43I'd like very much to examine those shoes.
00:22:48Well, Captain, aren't you just a bit out of your territory?
00:22:53If you must play games, you can start with this pair.
00:22:56I'd accept your word for this pair.
00:22:58You'll accept my word for anything at this time of night.
00:23:01I've been on my feet all day.
00:23:03I'm tired.
00:23:05In that case, I must insist upon you coming to headquarters for military inspection.
00:23:09Well, I've had a lot of proposals, but it's the first time I've ever heard a cold military inspection.
00:23:17Wait a minute.
00:23:21Were you expecting a special phone call?
00:23:24Anything might happen around here.
00:23:26In that event, I'll answer it myself.
00:23:28Don't you leave here.
00:23:30Don't you leave here.
00:23:43Hello?
00:23:47Hello?
00:23:49Hello?
00:23:50You can stay here all night, Andre's dead telephones.
00:24:01Bring on your military escort.
00:24:02I'm leaving.
00:24:07Turn on that light.
00:24:08Turn it on yourself.
00:24:17Over here.
00:24:18It's that Greg Carroll.
00:24:23He tied me up and locked me in here.
00:24:25Are you sure you didn't let him go?
00:24:27I'll tell you he had a key.
00:24:33Hello?
00:24:34Yeah.
00:24:35This is Greg.
00:24:37Has my brother come home yet?
00:24:38No, Gregory.
00:24:39Your brother has not come home.
00:24:41I thought I'd better phone you, Ann.
00:24:43Shall I call the police?
00:24:44No.
00:24:45Wait until I can get to you.
00:24:47He's in danger, all right.
00:24:49You can't tell the police about it.
00:24:51Can I phone you back at the same number when he returns?
00:24:54No, they'll close this place.
00:24:56I'll let him get in touch with you.
00:24:58Take care of yourself.
00:24:59You know what kind of people want to know what you're working on?
00:25:01Don't let anyone in the house.
00:25:03Right.
00:25:03drive your.
00:25:16I'll let someone in the house.
00:25:19You can take care of yourself.
00:25:21I can't find me that you don't see me anymore.
00:25:21You can take me now.
00:25:22ěřík.
00:25:23I can't understand it.
00:25:43Couldn't have gotten off the gate.
00:25:45There's a light.
00:25:46In a recreation hall.
00:25:53It's locked.
00:25:57I've got a key.
00:25:58Hurry.
00:26:23Where's the light?
00:26:26On the wall, sir.
00:26:34Lieutenant, look here.
00:26:40This is the crash we heard.
00:26:41He must have got out this way.
00:26:43Send an alarm.
00:26:44Give a description of Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:26:46Yes, sir.
00:26:47You know, Sergeant, that fellow worked fast to escape.
00:26:55He was in this room when we saw that light.
00:26:59Now that light is out.
00:27:00Why did he risk turning on the light?
00:27:04And why did he stop to turn it off?
00:27:07Lieutenant.
00:27:11Captain Bryant.
00:27:17What's this about, an escaped prisoner?
00:27:30It's worse than that, Colonel.
00:27:32We just found Captain Bryant murdered.
00:27:40Sergeant.
00:27:41He was accused of stealing.
00:27:42Will you stay here and guard the body?
00:27:43I'll report this to Milton.
00:27:47Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
00:28:09Then you didn't forget to call.
00:28:12Alma.
00:28:13Wait.
00:28:14Alma.
00:28:15I've heard of the times.
00:28:17Listen.
00:28:18When is the last time you saw Captain Bryant?
00:28:21Did you see him tonight?
00:28:23No.
00:28:24No, I was asleep.
00:28:29No.
00:28:30No, I didn't see the captain.
00:28:32I never talked to him.
00:28:35You sound so serious.
00:28:38What time did you leave the recreation hall?
00:28:40Now listen carefully.
00:28:42No matter what happens, don't get excited.
00:28:45Tell them you did not happen.
00:28:46this is important for your sake.
00:28:49Captain Bryant has just been murdered.
00:28:52They'll question you.
00:28:53I'll try to be assigned to the case.
00:28:58Hey, turn that light out.
00:29:22Shh.
00:29:22I told him.
00:29:23I don't know.
00:29:24Hey, you of all people.
00:29:26See, the bloodhounds are after you for murder.
00:29:28Get out of this place.
00:29:29They've been here looking already.
00:29:30Well, they won't come back again, then.
00:29:31Listen, we got work to do.
00:29:33Oh, we have?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:34I want you to drive the colonel's car out the gate with me in it.
00:29:36Can I get this for helping you?
00:29:38Oh, you sap.
00:29:38Peg, you know I didn't murder the captain.
00:29:40Well, then why are you running away?
00:29:41I have to.
00:29:42Lieutenant's got his hand mixed up in this some way.
00:29:44I don't have a chance around here.
00:29:46Okay, Greg.
00:29:47I ain't let a pal down yet.
00:29:48Give me a promise.
00:29:49Come to my hanging.
00:29:51All you have to do is get the car ready and wait.
00:29:53I have to get something out of the captain's safe.
00:29:55Say, you dapper, you're in enough trouble.
00:29:56What's in the safe that's so important?
00:29:58It's a paper with some addresses.
00:29:59When the captain's dead, I can't let anyone else see it.
00:30:01Oh, brother, this is worse than a movie melodrama.
00:30:04Well, I'm in this deep.
00:30:06Get going.
00:30:06I'll get the car.
00:30:07Oh, thanks.
00:30:15I'll get the car.
00:30:4514 Hawthorne Street.
00:30:4914 Hawthorne Street, 22 Fulton Street.
00:30:52Fulton.
00:31:15What do you mean?
00:31:23Everything all right?
00:31:24Yeah.
00:31:25Well, come on, then.
00:31:25Get in.
00:31:26We haven't got all night.
00:31:27All night.
00:31:43Special trip for the colonel.
00:31:44Hello.
00:31:52Now, get this carefully.
00:32:07A girl that works in the recreation hall.
00:32:10Alma.
00:32:11Alma Barton.
00:32:12She was the last one to see the captain alive.
00:32:14I know the girl.
00:32:16Yes.
00:32:17Yes, I understand.
00:32:19But how can I reach you afterwards?
00:32:21Give me that again.
00:32:26All right.
00:32:27I'll meet you there.
00:32:27Ma'amie.
00:32:32Oh, Ma'amie.
00:32:35If anybody calls for me, I won't be back until late.
00:32:38I'll just note it.
00:32:39Every time that man calls, my heart does a power dive.
00:32:42Oh, Ma'amie, you and I have to eat, and I have to earn the money.
00:32:44Yeah, we each maybe.
00:32:46Someday they're going to carry you home, then we both stop eating.
00:32:48Oh, Ma'amie.
00:32:49Why do I say them things?
00:32:53What's the matter with me?
00:32:55Now I'm going to have one of my worrying nights again.
00:33:00Come in.
00:33:01Sorry you had such difficulty in finding me, but we have had a tragedy.
00:33:08Captain Bryant was murdered.
00:33:10Oh, yes.
00:33:10Yes, so I just heard.
00:33:12Well, maybe I can help you.
00:33:13My name is Wallace.
00:33:14I'm from military intelligence.
00:33:16You're Colonel Longstreet?
00:33:17Yes.
00:33:18Well, you certainly jumped onto this case quickly enough.
00:33:20Yes.
00:33:20Well, that isn't why I'm here.
00:33:22You have a young soldier in your camp by the name of Greg Carroll.
00:33:25Why, yes.
00:33:26He's the man we think killed Captain Bryant.
00:33:28Well, that doesn't check with my record.
00:33:31He's the brother of a very important government scientist who was killed last night.
00:33:37Maybe there's some important connection between the two cases.
00:33:40Yes, it could be.
00:33:42But, of course, for the moment, my interest is in your soldier, Greg Carroll.
00:33:47It seems that he previously worked for his brother and has some knowledge of a secret formula.
00:33:53I wish I could help you, but he's just escaped.
00:33:55And my orders were to turn heaven and earth to find him.
00:33:59Well, excuse me a moment.
00:34:01Here it is.
00:34:17Say, I've been thinking as long as those papers are so important, why don't you give them to me before they catch you?
00:34:21Oh, they're going to catch me.
00:34:23Besides, I haven't got the papers.
00:34:24I'd burn them.
00:34:25Well, that's kind of dumb, isn't it?
00:34:27Oh, I don't know.
00:34:28I'm the only one who knows it.
00:34:29And it's right in here.
00:34:31Well, are we on a picnic or am I hauling a fugitive?
00:34:33Where do we go from here?
00:34:34I want to go to 328 Woodbury Street.
00:34:35Oh, you'll be sorry.
00:34:37Why?
00:34:37That's Alma.
00:34:38That's one gal you better hide from while you're in this pickle.
00:34:40Say, Alma can be a big help to me right now.
00:34:42Okay, brother.
00:34:43Hop in.
00:34:44I'm now the driver of a suicide wagon.
00:34:46But I'm not going to drive through town with a criminal in uniform.
00:34:48You're going to hike it part of the way.
00:34:49Come in.
00:35:02I'm just going through the captain's papers to see if I can find some reason for this tragedy.
00:35:07Somebody bought a paper over there.
00:35:09Be careful and don't touch it.
00:35:11I want to leave it for military intelligence.
00:35:13Colonel, I'd like to ask a special favor.
00:35:16In civilian life, I run a newspaper.
00:35:17And that training might be useful to me right now.
00:35:20I'd like to help you with this case.
00:35:22Well, I admire your spirit, Sergeant.
00:35:24Lieutenant Harmon had the same idea.
00:35:26Why don't you work with him?
00:35:27Thank you, sir.
00:35:28Go over to this address and join him.
00:35:31I sent two soldiers over with him.
00:35:34That's this girl, Alma.
00:35:35Yes, the girl from the recreation hall.
00:35:38Do you know the apartment number?
00:35:39I've checked it.
00:35:40It's 77, sir.
00:35:41Great.
00:36:17Alma?
00:36:23Alma?
00:36:36Alma?
00:36:37Alma?
00:36:37Alma?
00:36:37Alma?
00:37:17Is Miss Barton at home?
00:37:22Well, that depends.
00:37:24Is she expecting you?
00:37:25Yes.
00:37:26Tell her it's Hume.
00:37:27Stanley Hume.
00:37:27I have an important message for her.
00:37:29Well, come in.
00:37:35Excuse me.
00:38:35Alma wants me to take the message.
00:38:38Tell her she's getting too careless.
00:38:39She must go to the cobbler in the morning.
00:38:41Who gave you the message?
00:38:43The cobbler, Flegler.
00:38:45Okay.
00:38:46We'll be there.
00:38:47But not in that uniform.
00:38:49Certainly not.
00:38:54Sorry.
00:38:54These clothes are just what I need.
00:38:56Take the next turn on the left.
00:39:08Drive up toward the Wilson Apartments.
00:39:48Did you ring for the elevator?
00:39:58Yeah, about ten minutes ago.
00:40:00I think I'll ring it again.
00:40:10Please tell Miss Alma Barton I'm here.
00:40:12Lieutenant Harmon.
00:40:15Number 77, please.
00:40:17Miss Alma Barton?
00:40:19I have a brother who's just exactly like you.
00:40:22Well, don't tell me your brother has...
00:40:24Let's go, this way.
00:40:28Sorry, sir, no answer.
00:40:30She must be in.
00:40:31Can I go up?
00:40:32Yes.
00:40:38Hey, are you running away from somebody?
00:40:40No, I'm just allergic to soldiers.
00:40:41That'll be tough on you these days.
00:40:54Come on.
00:40:55What now?
00:40:56Let's go.
00:40:57Well, my car's out that way.
00:40:58Well, we can get to it this way, too.
00:40:59George, you find anything?
00:41:11Lieutenant.
00:41:15Found this man tied up in here.
00:41:16I found the girl, dead.
00:41:20Dead?
00:41:21Then he must have done it.
00:41:22I suppose he killed her and came in here and tied himself up.
00:41:25All right, get him down.
00:41:26We'll just find out.
00:41:30Come on, snap out of it.
00:41:33Yeah, I got some heavy thinking to do.
00:41:35Well, perhaps you could do it over a cup of coffee.
00:41:39My Mamie makes great coffee.
00:41:41My Mamie makes great coffee.
00:41:43Sound like a radio head.
00:41:44Mamie's my maid.
00:41:54No more from me, Mamie.
00:41:56You can clean this up in the morning.
00:41:57Yes, sir.
00:41:58But it's most morning now.
00:42:00In another hour, the sun will be shining.
00:42:02You ought to get yourself some sleep.
00:42:03Some people don't know when to go home.
00:42:06Why don't you come right out and tell me to go home?
00:42:08Well, that's what I hear saying.
00:42:10Well, don't throw him out.
00:42:11He's only been here ten minutes,
00:42:12and after all, I did invite him for coffee.
00:42:14But it's too late for night coffee
00:42:16and too early for breakfast.
00:42:18You need to get yourself some sleep,
00:42:19and so do I.
00:42:21Well, you get your sleep, Mamie.
00:42:22That's all for tonight.
00:42:24Well, that may be all,
00:42:25but I ain't getting any sleep till you get yours.
00:42:27I'll be back in five minutes to remind you.
00:42:31Is that a little hint for me to go?
00:42:32Oh, of course not.
00:42:33Now, go on and finish your coffee.
00:42:35Will you excuse me for just a moment?
00:42:36Sure.
00:42:36He's about six feet tall,
00:42:47fairly broad shoulders.
00:43:05Wears a size 7 hat.
00:43:08Well, his shoes are probably a size 10.
00:43:11Yes, brown color.
00:43:16Yes, you're right.
00:43:18Oh, I knew that from the very beginning.
00:43:20Yes, yes, you're right.
00:43:33Yes, yes, yes, you're right.
00:43:47You're right.
00:43:48I got that telephone.
00:43:50Just a minute.
00:43:51Why should I?
00:43:52I'm just telephoning for another suit of clothes for you in the morning.
00:43:55What's the matter with the suit I'm wearing?
00:43:57Well, in the first place, I don't like it.
00:43:59In the second place, it isn't yours.
00:44:00In the third place, you stole it.
00:44:01In the fourth and most important,
00:44:03by this time, the Army has a description of it,
00:44:05and they'll spot you the minute you show your face.
00:44:08You know everything, don't you?
00:44:10I listened in to that conversation in the other room.
00:44:14Hello.
00:44:15Deliver that suit early in the morning.
00:44:19It is almost morning.
00:44:20We'll send it over right away.
00:44:22That's perfect.
00:44:24Why are you mixed up in this?
00:44:26Don't you know?
00:44:27Uh-uh.
00:44:28I'm a newspaper woman.
00:44:30But I'll hold it until I get the complete story and the right one.
00:44:33Well, just one more question.
00:44:34What?
00:44:34How'd you know I changed clothes?
00:44:36Oh, that's easy.
00:44:37I went over to question this girl, Alma.
00:44:39Then when I found her dead, I hurried out,
00:44:41and then you went in, and you came up,
00:44:42and that suit of clothes.
00:44:43Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.
00:45:05I brought the civilian prisoner to see you.
00:45:07Didn't you question him?
00:45:08Yes, sir.
00:45:09His lawyer arrived with the writ of habeas corpus.
00:45:11He demands we release the prisoner.
00:45:13Well, the writ of habeas corpus gives him that power.
00:45:16Show them in.
00:45:20Come in.
00:45:25This is Colonel Longstreet.
00:45:27He has authority in this matter.
00:45:29I have here a writ of habeas corpus for the release of my client.
00:45:32Would you like to read it?
00:45:33No.
00:45:35No, that's not necessary.
00:45:37You were very quick to take advantage of the laws of this country.
00:45:41It's a privilege you can't get at any other country.
00:45:44But it's a privilege that bears with it a responsibility on your part.
00:45:48To help our country.
00:45:50To help us.
00:45:51If he's innocent.
00:45:52I can't add any more than I've already told the lieutenant.
00:45:55I visited the young lady.
00:45:56Your soldier attacked me and took my clothes.
00:45:59This is his uniform.
00:46:00Did you check on the number of his uniform?
00:46:01Yes, sir.
00:46:02It belongs to Corporal Greg Carroll, the escaped prisoner.
00:46:05We have a description of his clothes.
00:46:07All right.
00:46:08You may go.
00:46:12Dr. Mullen.
00:46:14That uniform belongs to the United States Army.
00:46:18I've got a suit of clothes for him.
00:46:19He won't take the uniform.
00:46:22Sergeant.
00:46:23Follow them.
00:46:24Don't let them out of your sight.
00:46:26Thanks, sir.
00:46:28I thought it was a secret that that man was a prisoner.
00:46:30So did I.
00:46:31We told no one and let no one see him.
00:46:33Then what brought a lawyer here first thing in the morning to rescue him?
00:46:35I can't explain it, sir.
00:46:37Are you sure you haven't got a confession to make?
00:46:39I'm glad you brought it up, Colonel.
00:46:41I've been wanting to talk to you.
00:46:42Well, this is a good time to get it off your chest.
00:46:45Sit down.
00:46:48It's about the girl.
00:46:50The one who was found dead last night.
00:46:52Alma.
00:46:54I was in love with her.
00:46:55Did she kill Captain Bryant?
00:46:57I don't know.
00:46:58Maybe she.
00:46:59Maybe Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:47:01Maybe anyone.
00:47:02I had no suspicion of her.
00:47:04I only know that I loved her.
00:47:06Well, if I were you, I'd stay on this case until I found out who did take her life.
00:47:10That's the way I feel about it, sir.
00:47:12I made a good search of her apartment last night and found some very important evidence.
00:47:17Do I have your permission to continue on this case?
00:47:20Yes, and my sympathy and cooperation.
00:47:22Thank you, sir.
00:47:32Hey, there's a car been following us for miles.
00:47:41Turn on that side road.
00:47:42You scared us before we knew who you were.
00:48:08You're a couple of blundering idiots.
00:48:10Why?
00:48:10The captain's dead.
00:48:11The girl's dead.
00:48:12You're free.
00:48:13And here I am.
00:48:13Everything's perfect.
00:48:15Yeah, until this monkey showed up too soon.
00:48:17Why didn't you wait for me to tell you?
00:48:18Now it's tipped.
00:48:19And you missed it.
00:48:20I sent you up there to steer him to the cobbler.
00:48:22And what happened?
00:48:22He got caught in your own trap.
00:48:24Well, that soldier had a terrific wallet.
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:26Did he get the name of the cobbler?
00:48:27Yeah, he fell for that.
00:48:28Well, then get down there and see if he doesn't beat you to it.
00:48:31Hold him till I come.
00:48:32I'm supposed to trail you.
00:48:33See that you'll lose me going into town.
00:48:35Right.
00:48:35May-may.
00:48:57What do you want, more coffee?
00:48:58No, the doorbell.
00:48:59Miss Linda.
00:49:00Why doesn't Miss Linda lock the door herself?
00:49:02She's got a key.
00:49:03She's always losing it.
00:49:04I ought to nail one on her.
00:49:08How are you, honey, May-may?
00:49:10You hire your nothing.
00:49:12You hire Taylor out of here.
00:49:13Go around to the kitchen door.
00:49:14That's where you belong.
00:49:15That's where I'm waiting for you.
00:49:18Some men don't never learn nothing.
00:49:20Just because I let him use the front door when Miss Linda ain't home,
00:49:23he thinks he can use it when she is home.
00:49:27What's the matter with me?
00:49:28Miss Linda ain't home now.
00:49:30What's keeping her?
00:49:31She's late.
00:49:32She's late.
00:49:33She's always late.
00:49:34That ain't calming my worry, none.
00:49:36Well, she don't go home pretty soon.
00:49:37I'm going out to jail.
00:49:39Why, you peeking, Watson.
00:49:41That'll learn you to keep your nose out of kills where they won't get burnt.
00:49:44You got no right coming around here when we got company.
00:49:48Say, is you A.W.P.A. again?
00:49:50Who's that man in there?
00:49:51Who wants to know?
00:49:52I seem to remember him.
00:49:54Well, that man's a gentleman, so you wouldn't know him.
00:49:56You only know men's what's been in jail.
00:49:58I ain't made no jail since I've been in the army.
00:50:00Well, that's the only way you did, Miss.
00:50:02I almost remember him dead.
00:50:04You bumped it out at me with that door.
00:50:06Well, it won't turn black.
00:50:08Do it hurt much.
00:50:10Well...
00:50:10I found the cobbler's shop and it's open.
00:50:19Oh, that's news.
00:50:20I'll take that shoe to him and see if it works.
00:50:21Oh, did you try to telephone your brother again?
00:50:23Yeah, several times, but he's not home.
00:50:25He's gone all right.
00:50:26That note on the shoe was the truth.
00:50:27I was afraid of that.
00:50:28Oh, say, wait a minute.
00:50:29I want to speak to Mamie.
00:50:32Oh, Sam, I'm sorry.
00:50:34Did I hurt you?
00:50:34No, ma'am.
00:50:35I'm used to it by now.
00:50:37Mamie, here's an address.
00:50:38It's a cobbler's shop and I want you to take four pairs of my shoes there and have them repaired.
00:50:42I know it's a cobbler's shop down on 7th Street.
00:50:45Well, that's where this one is.
00:50:46Do you know the man's name?
00:50:47No, ma'am.
00:50:47I don't remember.
00:50:49Was it Flagler?
00:50:51Uh-oh.
00:50:52Yes, ma'am.
00:50:52That's it.
00:50:52Well, you take Mamie there and show her where it is, huh?
00:50:55Uh-oh, no, ma'am.
00:50:56Well, why not?
00:50:57Because I'm on an extended furlough.
