00:03:59And you two will form a welcoming committee.

00:04:07Telegram, Miss Jan.

00:04:26Oh, thank you, Rod.

00:04:27Do you know what time the trans-American plane is due?

00:04:45It's due in at 3.30, but I'm expecting it at 4.00.

00:04:49You're expecting it at 4.00?

00:04:50Yes, and well, you see, I've got a little bet on it.

00:04:53It is a half hour late.

00:04:55Well, only last week I brought the SS Washington in three hours ahead of schedule.

00:04:59You bet on things like that?

00:05:01Oh, yes, and I bet on anything.

00:05:03I'm the poor man's lords of London.

00:05:05I'm the poor man's lords of London.

00:05:16Okay.

00:05:18Yeah.

00:05:18I'm the poor man.

00:05:19Yeah, you know.

00:05:19I'll take this.

00:05:20I'm the poor man.

00:05:22I'm the poor man.

00:05:52Trans-American plane from Miami, fly to, just let it, please stand by.

00:06:22Oh, Mr. Lawrence, you needn't worry about being a stranger in Panama.

00:06:51We simply love strangers, and I insist that you have dinner at our house.

00:06:55I'm sorry, I never eat.

00:06:57Oh, but, uh...

00:06:57Oh, no, no, doctor's ordered.

00:06:58I see.

00:06:59Oh, I'm sorry.

00:07:23Stranger in Panama.

00:07:29Well...

00:07:30That's our man, all right.

00:07:35Well, are you the welcoming committee?

00:07:49Please pretend we're very good friends.

00:07:51Oh, of course.

00:07:52Darling, darling, it's been so long.

00:07:55Every day seemed like a year, even longer.

00:07:57Well, how am I doing?

00:08:04I said friends.

00:08:06Oh, you haven't met my friends.

00:08:07Please, I'm in terrible trouble.

00:08:09You can help me.

00:08:10Oh, now, you're too pretty to be in serious trouble.

00:08:12You will help me?

00:08:13Well, my armor's a little rusty, but...

00:08:15We can get a cab.

00:08:16All right.

00:08:36Taxi, best taxi in Panama.

00:08:38Okay.

00:08:39Hotel La Esposita, and hurry, please.

00:08:41La Esposita.

00:08:42Right.

00:08:45Oh, now, let's go.

00:09:15So, you see, there was nothing else I could do.

00:09:20My husband follows me everywhere.

00:09:21I don't blame him.

00:09:23You don't know what it's like to be married to an insanely jealous man.

00:09:26No, I don't.

00:09:28Well, he used to beat me.

00:09:29No.

00:09:31Whip.

00:09:32You don't believe me.

00:09:34Strange your husband never had time to buy you a wedding ring.

00:09:38Oh, that, well.

00:09:39You see, I had to pawn it.

00:09:40Oh, save it.

00:09:41If you'd worn a wedding ring for two years, it'd have been a mark.

00:09:44You see, bachelors are trained to look for things like that.

00:09:50Oh, now, it wasn't that bad a joke.

00:09:53We're on the wrong road.

00:09:55He's taking us away from the hotel.

00:09:56Well, maybe that's the reason it's the best taxi in Panama.

00:10:02Look.

00:10:09They're following us.

00:10:12Get him to hurry.

00:10:13Step on it.

00:10:14I said step on it.

00:10:20Just don't move and you'll be all right.

00:10:22Step on it.

00:10:46Step on it.

00:10:48Step on it.

00:10:50Step on it.

00:10:51They're coming closer.

00:11:09Hold tight.

00:11:09Why, he's going crazy.

00:11:11Did you do that on purpose?

00:11:23It can only miss once.

00:11:25Have you ever tried it before?

00:11:27Once in Europe.

00:11:28I was trying to get out of the country with a new scoop.

00:11:31It was a mountain road with a drop of 2,000 feet.

00:11:34What happened?

00:11:35Well, I'm still here.

00:11:41See anything of our playmates?

00:11:53I think we've lost them.

00:11:55I want to thank you, Mr...

00:11:56Lawrence. Mike Lawrence.

00:11:58Haven't I seen that name somewhere?

00:12:00Oh, we've probably met under a headline, Miss...

00:12:02Oh, yes. Michael Lawrence.

00:12:04I've read your articles. They're very exciting.

00:12:06We should tell that to my editor.

00:12:08What were you doing at the airport?

00:12:09Oh, I was to meet someone, but it became too dangerous with those men following me.

00:12:14I see. So I became the other man, huh?

00:12:16Well, yes.

00:12:18I was on a spot, and that was the first thing that occurred to me.

00:12:21All this must seem very curious to you.

00:12:24Curious? Ripley would have a picnic.

00:12:26Who were those two men?

00:12:28What were they doing following you?

00:12:29Well, that's just it. I don't know.

00:12:31I've never seen them before.

00:12:33Oh, but I have to make a call and make sure that everything's all right.

00:12:36Will you pull up over there, please?

00:12:38Yeah, sure.

00:12:49I'll be right back.

00:12:50I'll be waiting, Miss.

00:12:58Miss, this one time you can go as fast as you like, brother.

00:13:00It's on the house.

00:13:01Good morning, Mr. Zements.

00:13:09I'll be waiting.

00:13:10I'll be waiting.

00:13:22Nice going, gal.

00:13:52Hiya, sis.

00:13:55Paul.

00:13:58Oh, I was so worried.

00:14:00For a minute at the airport, I thought you'd give yourself away.

00:14:02Say, why did you come to the airport?

00:14:04I asked you not to in my telegram.

00:14:06Well, Paul, there was nothing like that in the telegram.

00:14:12Well, they expected trouble.

00:14:15What is it, Paul? Why should those men want you?

00:14:18I've done it, Jan.

00:14:19A thousand experiments, three years.

00:14:21But it finally works.

00:14:23You don't mean the protective paint.

00:14:24But I do mean the protective paint.

00:14:26Oh, I knew you'd make it, Paul.

00:14:28I'm so proud of you.

00:14:29Well, the credit really belongs to a new compound.

00:14:32Like most discoveries, it was an accident.

00:14:34I knocked over a test tube, two chemicals shook hands, and there it was.

00:14:38But what are you doing here in Panama?

00:14:40I brought the formula down for them to test on the canal defenses.

00:14:43I'll be going back to Washington right away.

00:14:45It's... it's big, Jan.

00:14:47And there are a lot of people who would like to get their hands on it.

00:14:50Well, then you'll be in danger.

00:14:52Oh, I'll be all right.

00:14:53And the formula's safe.

00:14:54It's in a vault in Washington.

00:14:55And, uh, in my mind.

00:14:57I...

00:14:58I don't think you'd better stay here, Paul.

00:15:00It's not safe.

00:15:01That telegram is...

00:15:02No, you're right.

00:15:03I'll be at the Royal Grove Hotel under the name of Collins if you want me.

00:15:07You will be careful.

00:15:09Oh, we're the martinstock.

00:15:10Toughest kids in the block, remember?

00:15:12Hey, what about Mike Lawrence?

00:15:13Oh, he was wonderful.

00:15:15Yeah, I know.

00:15:16But the men who are after me think he's your brother.

00:15:18It may get him in trouble.

00:15:19Well, I've seen him in action.

00:15:21If they get tough with him, it's their hard luck.

00:15:23All right.

00:15:24Uh-huh.

00:15:25Uh-huh.

00:15:26Uh-huh.

00:15:27Uh-huh.

00:15:28Uh-huh.

00:15:29Uh-huh.

00:15:30Uh-huh.

00:15:31Uh-huh.

00:15:32Uh-huh.

00:15:33Uh-huh.

00:15:34Uh-huh.

00:15:35Uh-huh.

00:15:36Uh-huh.

00:15:37Uh-huh.

00:15:38Uh-huh.

00:15:39Uh-huh.

00:15:40Uh-huh.

00:15:41Uh-huh.

00:15:42Uh-huh.

00:15:43Uh-huh.

00:15:44Uh-huh.

00:15:45Uh-huh.

00:15:46Uh-huh.

00:15:47Uh-huh.

00:15:48Uh-huh.

00:15:49Uh-huh.

00:15:50Uh-huh.

00:15:51Uh-huh.

00:15:52Uh-huh.

00:15:53Uh-huh.

00:15:54Uh-huh.

00:15:55Uh-huh.

00:15:56Uh-huh.

00:15:57Did everything work out?

00:15:59Martin. Martin drove like a madman.

00:16:01Martin drove?

00:16:05You mean he got the cab away from you?

00:16:07Well, it wasn't my fault.

00:16:10I got Martin into the cab and they hadn't have been such cowards.

00:16:14Why, you...

00:16:15Save it, Luton.

00:16:19You knew how important it was for us to get Martin.

00:16:23Yet you let him get away.

00:16:25I did what I was told.

00:16:27And failed.

00:16:29Now get out of here.

00:16:31All right.

00:16:33We can find you.

00:16:35We may need you again.

00:16:39Exactly. What happened?

00:16:41Well, we started down the road after him and...

00:16:52I'll take your baggie, sir.

00:16:54Rodriguez Lincoln Jones is the name, sir.

00:16:56That sounds like a lot of names.

00:16:58Yes, sir. I sort of adopted that Rodriguez.

00:17:00But just think what I could do with it back in Harlem.

00:17:02Is this a La Esposita?

00:17:04Yes, sir. Nothing different.

00:17:06Good.

00:17:07What you want me to do with this cab?

00:17:09If nobody calls for it in 30 days, it's yours.

00:17:13Glory be.

00:17:14I got myself some new collateral.

00:17:16Sorry.

00:17:17My fault.

00:17:18It's totally my fault.

00:17:20Mind if I look at the register?

00:17:22Anything you want to know about this hotel, sir, just ask me.

00:17:24Oh, sort of a local information, please, huh?

00:17:26Well, I ease and I observe.

00:17:27Well, I'll pick you up on that sometime.

00:17:28All right, sir. Right this way, please.

00:17:36Thank you, sir.

00:17:38I'll share your story.

00:17:39Do you mind if I look at the register?

00:17:44Anything you want to know about this hotel, sir?

00:17:45Just ask me.

00:17:46Oh, sort of a local information, please, huh?

00:17:48Well, I ease and I observe.

00:17:52I'll take you up on that some time.

00:17:54All right, sir.

00:17:55Right this way, please.

00:18:02What's happened can't be helped now.

00:18:08But Martin, and you've got to find him.

00:18:11He won't get away again.

00:18:12Make certain of that.

00:18:16You two are the only ones in Panama who know what Martin

00:18:19looks like.

00:18:20His tricks won't help him this time.

00:18:22Don't be sorry you picked the Esposita.

00:18:29Best service in town.

00:18:30That's me.

00:18:31And the best food.

00:18:33Well, that all helps, but I'm looking for a certain young lady.

00:18:35Well, who ain't?

00:18:36This is it, sir.

00:18:39We men all have that woman trouble.

00:18:42Well, I have a hunch the girl I'm looking for may be here

00:18:44at the Esposita.

00:18:46Well, if she's yes, sir, I know her.

00:18:47She's blonde and blue-eyed.

00:18:49Yes, sir.

00:18:50And at the airport, she gave the driver this address.

00:18:52If I catch up with her, there's going to be fireworks.

00:18:55Fireworks?

00:18:56Half-court?

00:18:57Blonde?

00:18:59No, sir.

00:18:59Ain't no girl like that around here.

00:19:01Well, I'll find her if she is here.

00:19:03Oh, what time is dinner, sir?

00:19:05You ain't going to eat dinner in this hotel.

00:19:07Why not?

00:19:08Why, the food's so bad, even the chef won't eat it.

00:19:10When we've got a chef.

00:19:11Well, a few minutes ago, you said this was the best food in town.

00:19:14Yes, sir.

00:19:15I's your friend now.

00:19:16There's a wonderful place down the street a bit.

00:19:19If that's all, sir, I'll...

00:19:20Oh.

00:19:23There you are.

00:19:23Thanks for the tip.

00:19:24Thanks for yours, sir.

00:19:33Good evening, Mrs. Jan.

00:19:34Robert, I've got to talk to you.

00:19:36All right.

00:19:37Come in.

00:19:40Miss Jan, there's a man in this hotel, and I think he's looking for you in troubled boat.

00:19:45Good man.

00:19:46Yes, ma'am.

00:19:47Described you perfectly.

00:19:48And I knows you's at the airport today.

00:19:51What does this man look like?

00:19:53Well, he...

00:19:54He signed a book Michael Lawrence, he did.

00:19:56And he sure looked like the wrong man to fool with.

00:19:59He is looking for me.

00:20:00I don't blame him.

00:20:01Well, if there's anything I can do, Miss Jan, I think I've got him to eat away from the hotel.

00:20:06Oh, I can handle this myself right.

00:20:08The important thing is that he doesn't see me.

00:20:12He knows what Jan Martin looks like, but Dolores Estabin is a complete stranger.

00:20:19That wig show gets me confused, Miss Jan.

00:20:23I can't get it through my head.

00:20:25An American girl has to come down here to become a Latin singer just to go back to the States again.

00:20:31Well, show business travels in cycles, Rod.

00:20:33This year, Latin singers are the vote.

00:20:35So, this is our new South American discovery, Dolores Estabin.

00:20:41I'm still confused.

00:20:43And Mr. Lawrence, he ain't gonna be no better off.

00:20:51Well, let me have some of that bourbon, please.

00:20:53Triple.

00:20:54Triple?

00:20:55Mm-hmm.

00:20:56I have a bad cold.

00:20:57Oh, that is due to stomach.

00:21:02Yep, that'll do.

00:21:11Hey, what was in that drink?

00:21:17Oh, the light.

00:21:18That is for our singer, Senorita Esteva.

00:21:21Madame's in a par-off band, and she seeks a gay companion.

00:21:35Though she won't know his name, the language of love's the same.

00:21:42There's a continental costume, if you wish, Senor, to call.

00:21:49When there's been no introduction, Madame will rock her show.

00:21:55Do not think her shy, Senor.

00:21:56If she likes your smile, she will wink her eyes, Senor.

00:22:05And in a little while, from the lady's fingertips, Sen, at your feet, a rose will fall.

00:22:12Press the rose up to your lips, Sen, Madame will rock her show.

00:22:18There's a continental costume, if you wish, Senor, to call.

00:22:25When there's been no introduction, Madame will rock her show.

00:22:31It may happen at the office, Senor.

00:22:34If you wish, Senor, to call.

00:22:38When there's been no introduction, Madame will rock her show.

00:22:43It may happen at the opera, or while dancing at the ball.

00:22:53To attract the caballero, Madame will rock her show.

00:23:00Do not think her shy, Senor.

00:23:04If she likes your smile, she will wink her eyes, Senor.

00:23:10And in a little while, from the lady's fingertips, Sen, at your feet, a rose will fall.

00:23:18Press the rose up to your lips, Sen, Madame will rock her show.

00:23:26I know it isn't exactly original, but haven't we met somewhere before?

00:23:30Oh, I think not, Senor.

00:23:32You've been in Panama long?

00:23:34No, I only arrived today.

00:23:35Oh, and I have never met.

00:23:37So it is impossible, no?

00:23:38Well, I guess so, but I can't help having a feeling I've seen you somewhere before.

00:23:43Would you have a drink?

00:23:45A drink?

00:23:46Gracias, Senor.

00:23:51Leche, por favor.

00:23:52That's for me.

00:23:53Make mine double.

00:23:54Eh?

00:23:55So you have been in Panama only one day.

00:23:57Do you think you will like it?

00:23:59Well, what I can see of it is lovely.

00:24:01Your voice deserves a better setting than this.

00:24:03Have you ever thought of New York?

00:24:04You'd set them on their collective ear.

00:24:06Oh, yes, I have thought of New York.

00:24:08But New York has so many beautiful blonde girls.

00:24:11Just let those New York wolves get one load of you in the peroxide market and fall off like a shot.

00:24:15But I thought the gentleman preferred blonde.

00:24:18Yeah, but who wants to be a gentleman?

00:24:21I will go to New York someday.

00:24:23I'd like to show it to you.

00:24:25Perhaps, Senor.

00:24:26But you, have you met no one in town, Mama?

00:24:30Well, five minutes ago the answer would have been no.

00:24:33Oh, you say charming things, Senor.

00:24:35You and I should get to know each other, como no?

00:24:38Como yes.

00:24:42The como no and como yes.

00:24:47Why, that's milk!

00:24:48Oh, and very good for you, Senor.

00:24:50Oh, well, I must go now.

00:24:52We will meet again, no?

00:24:53I'll be looking forward to it.

00:24:54Uh-huh.

00:24:55Uh-huh.

00:25:13Did it work, Senorita Espada?

00:25:18Only too well, Miss Martin.

00:25:25Don't make a move.

00:25:43If you're looking for your cab, it's downstairs.

00:25:46Don't try any more of your tricks.

00:25:48Okay, but would you mind telling me what this is all about?

00:25:50It's simple.

00:25:51Plenty of people are willing to buy the information you have.

00:25:54I can sell it as easily as they can.

00:25:56And I found you first.

00:25:58I still don't get it.

00:25:59Things are happening too fast around here.

00:26:01Perhaps I can refresh your memory.

00:26:03Oh, wait a minute.

00:26:04My memory's not going to be any better with a hole in it.

00:26:06What kind of information am I to have?

00:26:07Don't pretend.

00:26:08Talk quickly.

00:26:11All right, you win.

00:26:15I wouldn't try that if I were you.

00:26:17I'm only going to phone for some drinks.

00:26:18We might as well be comfortable.

00:26:19Sit down.

00:26:21Make sure that's all you phone for.

00:26:24Room service.

00:26:25This is room 715.

00:26:27Will you send up some drinks?

00:26:29I found a new place, mister.

00:26:30Is he dead?

00:26:31Yes, he is.

00:26:32You didn't.

00:26:33No, no, of course not.

00:26:34The murderer must have got out over the balcony.

00:26:35You didn't see anybody coming down the hall.

00:26:36No, sir.

00:26:37Who is that?

00:26:38That's something else I've got to find out.

00:26:39That's something else I've got to find out.

00:26:40Oh, my.

00:26:41We'd better lock this door.

00:26:42I don't want anything touched until the police come.

00:26:43Yes, sir.

00:26:44Yes, sir.

00:26:45Something tells me that Harlem's population is going to have a place.

00:26:47That's a good thing.

00:26:48There's a good thing.

00:26:49No, sir.

00:26:50I found a new place.

00:26:51Mr.

00:26:52Is he dead?

00:26:53Yes, he is.

00:26:54You didn't.

00:26:55No, no.

00:26:56Of course not.

00:26:57The murderer must have got out over the balcony.

00:26:58You didn't see anybody coming down the hall.

00:26:59No, sir.

00:27:00Who is that?

00:27:01Who is that?

00:27:02That's something else I've got to find out.

00:27:04Oh, my.

00:27:06We'd better lock this door. I don't want anything touched until the police come.

00:27:08Yes, sir.

00:27:12Something tells me that Harlem's population is going to be increased by one.

00:27:16And I do mean me.

00:27:18Here, keep this key.

00:27:24Murder?

00:27:26But that's impossible, Mr. Lawrence.

00:27:29Nothing like that ever happened at the hotel.

00:27:32And somebody's playing a pretty grim joke on the man in my room.

00:27:36I see that too, Mr. Burns.

00:27:37Let me have that key.

00:27:38We lock the door. The police will find everything exactly as it was.

00:27:43That was very clever, Mr. Lawrence.

00:27:46I'll call the police immediately.

00:27:48Excuse me. I've got to go see someone.

00:27:51You better not make yourself too scarce.

00:27:53Oh, no, sir.

00:27:59I have to open the door.

00:28:01I have to open the door.

00:28:02I can't open the door.

00:28:03I have to open the door.

00:28:09Police headquarters?

00:28:10Oh, Señor.

00:28:11Everyone they talk about sending for the police.

00:28:12Is anything wrong?

00:28:12Police headquarters.

00:28:20Oh, senor, everyone they talk about sending for the police.

00:28:23Is anything wrong?

00:28:24Plenty.

00:28:25A cab driver was murdered in my room a few moments ago.

00:28:28In your room? Did you know him?

00:28:30Well, we'd never met socially, but I did have a set-toe with him this afternoon.

00:28:33You know, this whole day's been a puzzle with all the important pieces missing.

00:28:37Oh, you must be careful, senor.

00:28:39I will be.

00:28:41Those policemen are here, Mr. Lawrence.

00:28:43Oh, good.

00:28:50Is this the hombre que nadie le cuerpo?

00:28:59Mr. Lawrence reported the murder.

00:29:01Oh, si?

00:29:02Where is the body?

00:29:03In my room.

00:29:04Why did you do it?

00:29:05Why did I do it?

00:29:06Wait a minute.

00:29:07Oh, I must cover all possibilities.

00:29:09There are no possibilities.

00:29:10That is police procedure.

00:29:11Take us to your room.

00:29:12I will look at these corpse of yours.

00:29:14Well, it's not exactly mine, but come ahead.

00:29:16Follow me.

00:29:17Right over there.

00:29:18You have taken care that nothing was touched.

00:29:23The door was locked all the time.

00:29:24You have taken care that nothing was touched.

00:29:25The door was locked all the time.

00:29:30A very bad joke, senor.

00:29:31Say, what is this?

00:29:32You have eyes, have you not?

00:29:33Which one of these men is the court's talk does not amuse me, senor?

00:29:34When a stiletto buries, it gets no joke.

00:29:35You have eyes, have you not?

00:29:36Which one of these men is the court's talk does not amuse me, senor?

00:29:37When a stiletto buries, it gets no joke.

00:29:38It looks like a nice, neat frame of it.

00:29:39Well, if there was a... what is it?

00:29:40What is it?

00:29:41That's what I do.

00:29:42That's what I would like to know.

00:29:43But, Mr. Lawrence, you've made a mistake.

00:29:44What kind of a.

00:29:45A forgivable one, I am sure.

00:29:47But, you know, if there was a... what is it?

00:29:48...that's what I would like to know.

00:29:49But, Mr. Lawrence, you've made a mistake.

00:29:50What kind of a?

00:29:51A forgivable one, I'm sure.

00:29:52You don't know.

00:29:53That's what I would like to know.

00:29:54You have eyes, I have to ask.

00:29:55You have eyes, have you not?

00:29:56A very bad joke, senor.

00:29:57A very bad joke, senor.

00:29:58Say, what is this?

00:29:59You have eyes, have you not?

00:30:00Which one of these men is the court's talk does not amuse me, senor?

00:30:03When a stiletto buries, it gets no joke.

00:30:05Well, if there was a... What is it?

00:30:06That's what I'd like to know.

00:30:08But, Mr. Lawrence, you've made a mistake.

00:30:10What kind of...

00:30:10A forgivable one, I am sure, since you registered today.

00:30:14You see, this room has been occupied for weeks.

00:30:17Mr. Lawrence's room is across the hall.

00:30:19This was my room 20 minutes ago.

00:30:20I'm sorry, but it's...

00:30:22Please, gentlemen.

00:30:24Vamos.

00:30:32You see, this is the door that was locked.

00:30:35And with Mr. Lawrence's key.

00:30:45Well, this looks pretty bad, doesn't it?

00:30:47Not at all. This happens to be your room.

00:30:50All this is your luggage?

00:30:51Uh-huh.

00:30:52Then what is the corpse you're talking about?

00:30:54Well, as we say in the States, he seems to be gone with a whim.

00:30:59What do you think?

00:31:00Me parece que el americano tiene delirio en tremendo.

00:31:04Delirio en tremendo, eh?

00:31:07This time we'll let it pass.

00:31:09But let me warn you, senor.

00:31:11If it happens again, we shall not be so lenient.

00:31:14Vamos.

00:31:19I'm so sorry about the mistake, Mr. Lawrence.

00:31:22Yeah.

00:31:23Yeah, I'll bet you are.

00:31:25I'm sorry about the ugly, but let me know.

00:31:35Let's take a look.

00:31:46Let's take a look.

00:31:48Hello.

00:32:03Please, you've got to let me out of here.

00:32:06Now, look here, miss.

00:32:08This may sound silly, but I really would like to help you.

00:32:11A lot of very peculiar things have happened since we met,

00:32:13and I've got a feeling you could use some help.

00:32:15You know, if I knew what this was all about,

00:32:17there might be something I could do.

00:32:18You're very kind, and I'd like to explain, but right now I can't.

00:32:22You remember that cab driver?

00:32:23Yes.

00:32:24Well, he's not driving a cab anymore.

00:32:26He was murdered, and I was made to look like the goat.

00:32:28Yes, I know.

00:32:29You know?

00:32:30How?

00:32:31Well, I heard about it.

00:32:33I've got a hunch that Burns, the hotel manager,

00:32:35knows more than he's telling.

00:32:37You mean you think that he...

00:32:38Well, my room was switched, and he had to be in on it.

00:32:40I'm beginning to resent people thinking I'm somebody else.

00:32:43Well, I may be able to clear all this up if you let me go.

00:32:45Well, that sounds beautiful, but very familiar.

00:32:48And the last time you made a call on a telephone that hadn't even been installed.

00:32:51Well, please, you've got to believe me.

00:32:53Well, I'm sorry.

00:32:53We're all out of belief today.

00:32:55How on, Gallon.

00:33:00It's been quite difficult getting to talk to you.

00:33:02Now we can talk undisturbed.

00:33:04I must apologize for the gun.

00:33:06But in my profession, it is best not to take unnecessary chances.

00:33:10I'm willing to pay you well for your information.

00:33:13Here we go again.

00:33:14Oh, but he doesn't know anything about it.

00:33:16Come now.

00:33:17Let's approach this sensibly.

00:33:19My country is very interested in getting your formula,

00:33:21and we are willing to buy it with money rather than bullets.

00:33:24Well, that's very nice of you.

00:33:27Then you are not willing to talk?

00:33:28On the contrary.

00:33:32Oh, please.

00:33:42Now about that gentleman's agreement.

00:33:46Surely you and your sister.

00:33:47Sister?

00:33:50Rod, come here.

00:33:51Yes, sir.

00:33:52Take care of this gentleman.

00:34:01Yes.

00:34:05Hold me.

00:34:19Yes?

00:34:21Well, Jan, is anything wrong?

00:34:22Paul, I'm afraid we've really put Mike Lawrence in danger.

00:34:25Is Lawrence all right now?

00:34:26Well, I think so, but isn't it possible for you to finish your business and leave?

00:34:32Oh, it's been arranged.

00:34:34Thank heavens.

00:34:35Well, my appointment at headquarters is at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

00:34:38I'll be leaving for Washington immediately afterward.

00:34:41As soon as I've gone, you can let the news drop that Mike isn't your brother.

00:34:44But until then, you've got to keep him out of trouble, Jan.

00:34:47I'll do my best.

00:34:49But, Paul, I'm frightened.

00:34:51Please don't let anything delay you.

00:34:55What?

00:34:57All right, darling.

00:34:59Goodbye.

00:35:00See you in New York.

00:35:01Mr. Mike, I've been looking all over for you.

00:35:10Where's that man?

00:35:10That's what I'm looking for you for.

00:35:12He's gone.

00:35:13You let him get away?

00:35:14I told him he couldn't go, and I wasn't standin' no foolishness.

00:35:17And before I realized what was goin' on, he swung at me, and I swung back.

00:35:21And when I picked myself up off in the floor, that man gone.

00:35:25He hit you?

00:35:26He didn't make no conversation.

00:35:28And I've got a black eye to prove it.

00:35:29Well, that makes us even, Rod.

00:35:30I lost someone, too.

00:35:32With that man loose, what I'm gonna do the least of tonight is sleep.

00:35:37Hey, what's good for catching an elusive blonde?

00:35:46Some like to pour salt on them.

00:35:48But I have a drink that catches blondes like magic.

00:35:51When I catch up with that man, I'll show him what a punch and die means.

00:36:21This is an actual working model of a transport plant.

00:36:50No attempt has been made to camouflage it.

00:36:53Now, this is a working model of an RAF Hudson bomber, after it has been coated with the new protective paint.

00:37:04Even in miniature, you can see the difference to the eye.

00:37:07You see, the new protective paint is used to simulate both earth and sky colors.

00:37:13This is done so that the planes are protected both from anti-aircraft guns below, and from enemy aircraft above.

00:37:21What it amounts to, then, is an advance in camouflage.

00:37:25Oh, it's a perfect camouflage.

00:37:28Let me show you the paint in actual use.

00:37:30Uh, Lieutenant, would you mind cutting the light switch?

00:37:33This first slide is a transport plane, photographed under normal circumstances.

00:37:43Now, you can see that that plane makes a perfect target for enemy aircraft and ground defenses.

00:37:48Now, watch.

00:37:51This is a picture of the same plane taken after it had been coated with the new protective paint.

00:37:55Remember, if you're looking at that plane from close range, enemy gunners would find it much more difficult to locate it.

00:38:12Now, that's a third slide of the same plane with the background washed out in order for you to see the plane.

00:38:25That's amazing.

00:38:33Theoretically, that would turn the defensive forces into offensive forces.

00:38:36What do you suppose would work under actual warfare conditions?

00:38:40There's a difference, you know.

00:38:41It has worked.

00:38:42Recently, abroad, three of these Hudson bombers, coated with paint, were flown over enemy territory.

00:38:47They bombed an important ammunition center without interference.

00:38:50I recall something about that.

00:38:52Uh-huh.

00:38:52And it's been reported that not once were anti-aircraft gunners able to see the planes.

00:38:57That makes it one of our most important military secrets.

00:39:00Right.

00:39:00Now, we all know how vital it is that we protect the canal,

00:39:05which, in case of emergency, would be America's first line of defense.

00:39:09Until we have a two-ocean navy, the canal's the only means whereby we can maneuver our present fleet

00:39:13from one ocean to another speedily enough for modern warfare.

00:39:17What would be your plan of action?

00:39:19Just this.

00:39:19Our plan is to paint the locks themselves.

00:39:23An enemy bomber can't bomb what he can't see.

00:39:25That's true.

00:39:27And you've come at the right moment.

00:39:29We've just completed the installation of bomb nets on several of the locks.

00:39:33With your new paint, it'll make them almost impregnable.

00:39:36If the paint works as well as we think it's going to,

00:39:38America's canal defenses are going to be the strongest in the world.

00:39:41You've done a good job, Martin.

00:39:42Thank you, sir.

00:39:43Yes?

00:39:48Now, this colonel's stutter.

00:39:50Oh.

00:39:51Have them proceed immediately.

00:39:53Our bombers are ready for maneuvers.

00:39:55Would you like to see them before they're coated with your paint?

00:39:58Oh, yes.

00:39:59Very much.

00:40:07There they are.

00:40:28Would you like to see them before?

00:40:35No.

00:40:38I hav 很 many errors.

00:40:39I was just when they use them before.

00:40:41It's one of them before you don't quit.

00:40:42Arrl, I'd never forget to but to get see them before they vas coming.

00:40:45Do I have a Onter when you need your girl whose ship is in Andy from Japan?

00:40:46And they don't have to see them for their whole house.

00:40:47What should I do?

00:40:49Sort of complaint.

00:40:50They don't have to go through the water.

00:40:51Do I have to get into it?

00:40:56Okay.

00:40:56To be continued...

00:42:26Well, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

00:42:32Just one thing.

00:42:34Getting you safely back to Washington, after you've given our chemist the formula.

00:42:38We've heard about the attempts to get it.

00:42:40They have been rather persistent.

00:42:42An army escort will see you to your plane later in the evening.

00:42:45In the meantime, go to your hotel room.

00:42:47I speak to no one.

00:42:48Right.

00:42:49Goodbye, Colonel Stoddard.

00:42:50Goodbye, Michael.

00:42:51And again, congratulations.

00:42:53Thanks.

00:43:04Well, this is much like Central Park, but the moon looks familiar.

00:43:08Central Park?

00:43:10Yeah, that's where all our young lovers go.

00:43:14It is a beautiful evening, no?

00:43:16Uh-huh.

00:43:17That's our special dollar and a quarter sky, guaranteed not to fade.

00:43:21I'm very fond of him.

00:43:24Yeah, he ought to have a name.

00:43:25Oh, but see a name.

00:43:26I think I would call him, uh, Mike Jr.

00:43:29He has your eyes.

00:43:31I hope you've noticed there's a slight difference in our color.

00:43:34I think we should adopt him.

00:43:36Oh, definitely.

00:43:37I've always wanted the patter of little pandas around the house.

00:43:41You know, this whole day has been a wonderful surprise.

00:43:44I didn't expect such a lovely guy to show me Panama, and I didn't expect Panama to show

00:43:49me such a lovely guy.

00:43:50Oh, you say very sweet things, senor Mike.

00:43:53I've been saving them for you.

00:43:56It, uh, seems that you forget very quickly.

00:43:58Forget?

00:43:59Forget what?

00:44:00Oh, pero see, that girl you always look for.

00:44:02Oh.

00:44:03She no longer interests you?

00:44:04Say, if I had to pick one woman in the whole world to be marooned on a desert island with,

00:44:08I'd pick her.

00:44:10Then I'd have myself rescued.

00:44:11I suppose you think that very funny?

00:44:14Ah, what difference does it make?

00:44:16The night's young, and we're together.

00:44:19That's the only thing that matters.

00:44:21Oh, it is!

00:44:21I've just learned that Paul Martin was at Army Headquarters today demonstrating the formula.

00:44:39He'll be going back to Washington, and we haven't a moment to lose.

00:44:42We've looked for him everywhere.

00:44:43A few hours more will mean losing him entirely.

00:44:45Look, just coming into the lobby.

00:44:52Well, what is it?

00:44:54Well, that's Paul Martin.

00:44:57You two blockheads.

00:45:00Couldn't find your way out of a telephone booth.

00:45:02While you were looking all over Panama for Martin, he was right here at the hotel, posing as a newspaper man.

00:45:08But we tried to.

00:45:09Do you think you know what to do now?

00:45:11He's at 714.

00:45:12Get up there.

00:45:12We will meet again, Senor Mike?

00:45:22Sure.

00:45:22Next time I'll wear my catcher's mask.

00:45:24Excuse me, Mr. Mike.

00:45:26I've got to talk to you.

00:45:27Privately.

00:45:28All right, Rob.

00:45:29Will you excuse me?

00:45:30But certainly, Senor.

00:45:37What's on your mind?

00:45:38I've got cause trouble.

00:45:40I've been hiding all day.

00:45:41Well, what are you talking about?

00:45:42I've seen that corpse that was in your room.

00:45:44Well, where'd you find him?

00:45:45Find him?

00:45:45I didn't find him.

00:45:46He done found me.

00:45:47I guess I fainted.

00:45:49I knows I fainted.

00:45:50And when I woke up, he was gone again.

00:45:52I've been thinking it'd be better for both of us to leave this place and go back to the States again.

00:45:57Oh, I can be mighty handy, Mr. Mike.

00:45:59Well, you may be right, Rod.

00:46:00I might as well get paid for getting into trouble.

00:46:03If I do go back, you've got a job.

00:46:04Thank you, Mr. Mike.

00:46:06Thank you, sir.

00:46:06Think nothing of it.

00:46:07Well, say, what does you all do?

00:46:09Oh, I'm an undertaker.

00:46:11Ow.

00:46:12I've done it again.

00:46:13Here's Martin now.

00:46:38It's Rainer.

00:46:38You've killed him.

00:46:50There he is.

00:46:51Can not you take no for an answer, no?

00:47:09Is there another way out of here?

00:47:13This way, quickly.

00:47:17There is a ledge and the next apartment is empty.

00:47:19But please be careful.

00:47:20Wait a minute.

00:47:21They're liable to get a little rough if they find I'm gone.

00:47:22Oh, no, Harry, please.

00:47:23They will not hire me.

00:47:24It is you there after.

00:47:25Okay.

00:47:51You're moving.

00:48:10Thank you, sir.

00:48:46But are you sure you haven't seen him?

00:49:06Oh, thank you.

00:49:12Who is it?

00:49:13It's me, Miss Jan.

00:49:16Rod, have you seen Mr. Lawrence?

00:49:19No, ma'am, not for a while.

00:49:21I got a message for you, Miss Jan.

00:49:23A message from whom?

00:49:25I don't know. I never seen the man before.

00:49:27Well, what did he say?

00:49:29It was a kind of a funny message.

00:49:32Let me see.

00:49:34Made me repeat it twice.

00:49:35He said, uh, there's some men taking your brother on a vacation and, uh...

00:49:40My brother? But he isn't...

00:49:43Well, what else did he say?

00:49:45He said, if you didn't want it to be a long vacation, you'd better come and see him.

00:49:51There's a car waiting to take you to him.

00:49:54I'd be mighty careful, Miss Jan.

00:49:56I will, Rod.

00:49:57And please don't say anything about this to anyone.

00:49:59No, ma'am, not a word.

00:50:04There's something about that man I don't like.

00:50:14Well, I don't know what more you want.

00:50:16I've told you the formula.

00:50:17There's nothing to it.

00:50:18You take a dry martini, uh, three grams of cement, a pound of cracked nuts.

00:50:22It won't work, Mr. Martin.

00:50:24Well, now, that depends on what kind of cement you use.

00:50:26We haven't any time to waste, Mr. Martin.

00:50:28Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

00:50:30I was hoping we might whip up a little poker game.

00:50:32Have you ever seen what acid does to a man's face?

00:50:37I'm willing to offer you a fair deal.

00:50:40Well, now we're getting down to business.

00:50:41What's it worth to you?

00:50:43You're hardly in a position to bargain.

00:50:45Oh, I think I'm in a swell position.

00:50:47Remember, if anything happens to me...

00:50:49There goes your formula.

00:50:51I see.

00:50:51Ten thousand dollars.

00:50:57And your life.

00:50:59That's as generous as I intend to be.

00:51:03Okay.

00:51:04You know what the formula is for.

00:51:06Of course.

00:51:07The protective paint.

00:51:08Of course.

00:51:09Well, as I said, you take a dry martini, three grams of cement, a pound of cracked nuts...

00:51:15I can make him talk.

00:51:16Never mind, Blake.

00:51:19We've arranged to have your sister join our little group.

00:51:22I think perhaps you'll change your mind about talking.

00:51:25My sister?

00:51:28You don't miss a trick, do you?

00:51:34Hiya, sis.

00:51:35Hiya.

00:51:36Are you all right?

00:51:37So far.

00:51:38For your brother's sake, I hope you can persuade him to be sensible.

00:51:40But he doesn't know anything.

00:51:44We are not foolish, Miss Martin.

00:51:45All this was carefully planned.

00:51:47I assure you, your brother's attitude is very impractical.

00:51:50Especially in view of the fact that you're both here.

00:51:53Yes, it would seem that way, wouldn't it?

00:51:54I don't imagine you brought her here for that little poker game.

00:51:56Not quite.

00:51:58It's possible that something extremely unpleasant may happen to her.

00:52:01Yeah.

00:52:02Yeah, I thought of that.

00:52:03Well, all right, I'll talk.

00:52:05But the formula's in my room at the hotel.

00:52:07Well, I also happen to know that the formula isn't written.

00:52:11You've memorized it and I am getting...

00:52:16Yes.

00:52:19No, that's impossible.

00:52:21We have him here now.

00:52:25But I tell you we...

00:52:26Yes.

00:52:34Are you quite sure?

00:52:37I'll attend to it immediately.

00:52:43You idiots.

00:52:45You got the wrong man.

00:52:47Tell you that is, Martin.

00:52:49He's the one we followed from the airport.

00:52:51We'll find out soon.

00:52:54Who are you?

00:52:56A flower girl.

00:52:57You're gonna need flowers.

00:52:59A strange sense of humor, hasn't he?

00:53:00Maybe I can make him laugh.

00:53:02Not just yet.

00:53:04Lock them in here.

00:53:06That'll keep them safe for a while.

00:53:13See you two later.

00:53:14You know, it's a funny thing at that.

00:53:26What is?

00:53:27Well, for two days I couldn't keep you in sight.

00:53:29And now I couldn't get rid of you if I wanted to.

00:53:31I'm really sorry about getting you into all this trouble.

00:53:35Oh, that's all right.

00:53:37When you heard they had me, you came anyway, didn't you?

00:53:40Knowing I wasn't your real brother.

00:53:42That took a lot of spunk, Miss...

00:53:44Jan Martin.

00:53:46Oh.

00:53:47Well, we got that settled anyway.

00:53:49You know, if you'd have explained this thing to me in the first place,

00:53:51I'd have been glad to try and help you.

00:53:53I know you would, but...

00:53:54But I didn't dare take the chance.

00:53:58I'm worried about that phone call.

00:54:01We've got to find some way to get out of here.

00:54:03I'm feeling my brother's in danger.

00:54:05Yeah.

00:54:08Wish somebody'd send us a cake with a file in it like they do in the movies.

00:54:22Who is it?

00:54:22Your escort, sir.

00:54:24We've been sent to take you to your plane.

00:54:26And Colonel Stoddard said to hurry.

00:54:28Oh.

00:54:28All right.

00:54:32But there's been a slight change of plan.

00:54:33What's the idea?

00:54:34You'll find out.

00:54:35Come on.

00:54:36What?

00:54:42That just goes to prove it.

00:54:44Prove what?

00:54:46Trust a blonde every time.

00:54:48Imagine trying to open a lock with a hairpin.

00:54:50Well, you hear of people opening locks with hairpins?

00:54:53It might work.

00:54:55Don't you know you're supposed to sandpaper your fingertips?

00:54:57That's traditional.

00:54:58No.

00:55:12Smarty.

00:55:14Well, how do you like that?

00:55:15I like it fine.

00:55:18From now on, blondes are my favorite people.

00:55:19Come on.

00:55:19Let's get out of this rat trap.

00:55:21Oh.

00:55:22Here comes our keeper to tuck us in.

00:55:23Stand over there.

00:55:24Hello.

00:55:32You know a lot of tricks, don't you?

00:55:33I've had to use that one before.

00:55:35Come on.

00:55:36Come on.

00:55:37There is someone inside you may know.

00:55:58They've got Paul.

00:55:59They've got Paul.

00:56:07All right, Houston.

00:56:08Look, come on, boy.

00:56:09This is one round you lose.

00:56:10Get in the car, champ.

00:56:11Paul, cover him.

00:56:12I'll drive.

00:56:12To the other car.

00:56:26This car's to get him.

00:56:28Come on.

00:56:28Kiss out.

00:56:29We'll be down.

00:56:30He's what Oh.

00:56:32Come on.

00:56:33Come on.

00:56:36Look, come on my conversator.

00:56:46Come on, buddy.

00:56:48Ha, ha, ha.

00:56:51Shh.

00:56:52Oh, my God.

00:57:22Oh, my God.

00:57:52That was quick thinking, Lawrence.

00:57:57Thanks a lot.

00:57:59Oh, and incidentally, I want to thank you for the impersonation.

00:58:02That's all right.

00:58:03Sort of pleasant being somebody else for a change.

00:58:22Do you think we've lost them?

00:58:33We're not out of the woods yet.

00:58:35Did you notice out of the car?

00:58:37There is much cover in this part of the country, and if that one's faster than this...

00:58:41past them, past them.

00:58:50I'm giving her all she's got.

00:58:51There are heavy lights way down the highway.

00:59:10Get close enough for me to shoot.

00:59:14I think they're gaining.

00:59:15I can't get any more speed out of this bus.

00:59:34But, why?

00:59:36It's all right.

00:59:36The brakes!

00:59:54You have an impudent face, just like your father.

01:00:15Come in.

01:00:16I've come to say goodbye.

01:00:23Oh, you are leaving.

01:00:24Yeah, I'm going back to work.

01:00:25If I can't get away from excitement, I might as well take my salary with it.

01:00:28Oh, see, I heard about your bravery, senor Mike.

01:00:31You were magnificent.

01:00:33Uh...

01:00:33Oh, what is it, senor?

01:00:36Am I so unattractive?

01:00:38Oh, you did not think so any part, no?

01:00:40Well, it's, uh...

01:00:41Yes, senor.

01:00:43I guess you were right about that other girl.

01:00:45I'm really in love with her.

01:00:47What?

01:00:47In love with that skinny thing, the boy?

01:00:49She's not dizzy, and she's not skinny.

01:00:51Oh, si!

01:00:53And, uh, can she kiss like this?

01:00:58Say, wait a minute.

01:00:59There's only one girl I know can kiss like that.

01:01:01A dizzy, skinny, wonderful blonde.

01:01:07Well, what do you know?

01:01:10Do you mind so terribly?

01:01:12I've always had a hankering to learn Spanish.

01:01:31I've always had a rundown.

01:01:43There then got a lie, I've had her.

01:01:52I've always had a fun.
