00:00The End
00:30Stop chasing that train, New Drummond.
00:56Aunty, the engineer would think I'm a quitter if I stop now.
01:01I see.
01:02Keep your eyes on the road.
01:04Phyllis, here, I can't.
01:05It'll be 20 more hours, darling.
01:07May I say I hope so, sir?
01:09May I say I doubt if there will ever be a wedding?
01:11What could be better our marriage this time?
01:13What prevented it five other times?
01:15Fires, murders, explosions, everything sort of an earthquake.
01:19This time, Aunty...
01:20Not your aunt, Hugh Drummond.
01:26Oh, we made it.
01:27Something seems to whisper, my love.
01:29That was only the beginning.
01:30Of our happy married life.
01:32Horrible trip to the hospital.
01:35Pardon me, my good man, but, uh, would you be good enough to tell me the way to, uh, to, uh, did I have forgotten where I wanted to go?
01:59This is Rockingham, sir.
02:00Rockingham?
02:01Oh, yes, quite so.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Rockingham Tower, the residence of Captain Drummond.
02:06Go right up the old Roman road.
02:08All you have to do is follow the furniture vans.
02:11Follow the furniture vans?
02:12Now, why nurse should I want to follow furniture vans?
02:14Well, you see, Captain Drummond's always lived at the lodge.
02:17But he's getting married tomorrow, so they're opening the towers.
02:20First time in 20 years, sir.
02:21Oh, I see.
02:22Oh, yes, yes, quite so.
02:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:25Yes.
02:26Roll the wall for the time of the year, don't you think?
02:28Hey, it's warm, all right, but it's August, you know.
02:31August?
02:32My calendar said January.
02:35Ha, ha, ha.
02:36I must have gone to turn it.
02:37Ha, ha.
02:38Thank you so much.
02:39Up the Roman road, follow the furniture vans.
02:41Captain Drummond, might.
02:42How are you, Tenney?
02:43Thank you, Miss.
02:44Miss Annelsy, Captain Drummond.
02:45Hello, Tenney.
02:46I'll put these in water if I may.
02:47I think they're in the car, Tenney.
02:48I'll see to them, Miss.
02:49Your rooms are in the east wing.
02:50The tower will be ready by dinnertime, sir.
02:51Good, Tenney.
02:52And tomorrow?
02:53I've made all arrangements, sir.
02:54Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
02:56And it's the last chance you'll have, if I have anything to say about it, you'll have.
02:59I'll see to them, Miss.
03:00Your rooms are in the east wing.
03:01The tower will be ready by dinnertime, sir.
03:03Good, Tenney.
03:04And tomorrow?
03:05I've made all arrangements, sir.
03:06Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
03:09And it's the last chance you'll have, if I have anything to say about it, Hugh Drummond.
03:12You hear that, Tenney?
03:13No nonsense.
03:14This time we've got to get married.
03:15As they say in America, sir, this time it is in the bag.
03:19I don't like American slang, Tennyson.
03:22Shall I show you to your rooms, Miss?
03:25Bosh.
03:26Spent half my time here when I was a girl.
03:28Coming, Phyllis?
03:29Presently, Aunt Blanche.
03:30I'm afraid Auntie doesn't like us.
03:32But I do.
03:33That will be Mr. Longworth, sir.
03:36Yes, making himself useful again.
03:38I'm afraid so, sir.
03:40How to yourself?
03:41I don't know, old boy.
03:43The way you saved that barge is remarkable.
03:46Quite acrobatic, wasn't it?
03:48Hello, boy.
03:50The sparkle in those eyes can mean only one thing.
03:54Happiness.
03:55Scotland Yard waits while I attend your wedding.
03:58Thank you, Colonel.
03:59By the way, did I hear a crash?
04:01Oh, yes.
04:02All the way from the top shelf, old boy.
04:04And never broke it.
04:05It's wacky for you, Algie.
04:06That's a genuine Ming worth 200 pounds.
04:08200 pounds?
04:09I'd better put it right.
04:11Oh.
04:17It was worth 200 pounds, old boy.
04:21This way, Mr. Bolton.
04:23Mr. Tennyson should be somewhere about.
04:26Mr. Tennyson?
04:27He's in charge of the staff.
04:29I thought the butler was usually in charge.
04:32Captain Drummond's gentleman's gentleman.
04:35He's the one you have to keep your eye on at Rockingham.
04:38Why, he's even discharged the new cook.
04:40Oh, that came only this morning.
04:42Because she didn't agree with him about the Yorkshire pudding.
04:46He's the whole cheese, I can tell you.
04:49Quite so, Mrs. Tolz.
04:51The cheese.
04:52The whole cheese.
04:53Oh, I'm sure, sir.
04:54I didn't mean that.
04:55Quite so.
04:56You'll see that those roses are put in Miss Clavering's room.
04:59Yes, sir.
05:00You're bolton the new butler?
05:01Shush, Miss Agency sent me down, Mr. Tennyson.
05:03No.
05:06Been in some nice families.
05:08Oh, yes, sir.
05:09The very best.
05:10Yes, you'll begin your duties at once.
05:11Mrs. Thomas will show you at your quarters.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:28Hmm.
05:29State papers of Roger Baton.
05:32How frightfully interesting.
05:34I wonder what addition it is.
05:37Oh.
05:38Excuse us, sir.
05:40Oh, that's quite all right.
05:42Go right ahead.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:44Go right ahead.
05:50Wait.
05:52Pardon me, but is there something you want, sir?
05:56Oh, no, no, no.
05:57Nothing at all, no, no.
05:59Oh, is that my tea?
06:01Hmm.
06:02Well, just put it somewhere.
06:04Somewhere.
06:05Pardon me, sir, but this is Captain Drummond's tea.
06:08Oh, Captain Drummond, yes.
06:09Oh, I asked him to come and see me, yes.
06:11Show him in.
06:12Show him in.
06:13Pardon me, sir, but Captain Drummond is in.
06:16Oh, how stupid.
06:17I came to see him, didn't I?
06:19Oh, just a moment.
06:20Oh.
06:21Oh.
06:22Would you be so good as a teller mine here?
06:26Very good, sir.
06:27You'll wait here, sir?
06:28Oh, yes, you.
06:29Yes, yes, yes.
06:30I'll wait, yes.
06:31Come in.
06:32That's odd.
06:33I distinctly heard a knock.
06:34These things have no fixed value.
06:35Only one of collectors willing to pay for them.
06:36Splendid.
06:37Oh, come in.
06:38Oh, come in.
06:39That's odd.
06:40I distinctly heard a knock.
06:41These things have no fixed value.
06:42Only one of collectors willing to pay for them.
06:43Splendid.
06:44Oh, come on.
06:45Gentlemen, to see you, sir.
06:46Oh.
06:47Professor Downey, research department, museum of historical documents.
06:48Downey?
06:49What's he doing here?
06:50Well, do you know him, Colonel?
06:51Well, I've met him.
06:52In Scotland Yard?
06:53You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
06:59I like that.
07:00I'd see him if I were you, Hugh. He's a quaint old bird. Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:05I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:06I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:07I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:08Good.
07:09Yeah.
07:10Good as new, almost.
07:11That makes me feel much better.
07:12I'm so glad of that. Just let it dry for a few hours, will ya?
07:15Oh, put it where it will be safe.
07:16Be careful, Alzi.
07:17Ha ha! Not twice, Hugh.
07:19That's not true, Hugh.
07:20Oh, my God.
07:21You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
07:25I like that.
07:26I'd say, if I were you, Hugh, he's a quaint old bird.
07:28I'd say, if I were you, Hugh, he's a quaint old bird.
07:31Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:33I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:34That's twice, Hugh.
07:35Ha ha ha!
07:36Ha ha ha!
07:37Ha ha ha!
07:38Ha ha ha!
07:39Ha ha ha!
07:40Ha ha ha!
07:41Ha ha ha!
07:42Ha ha ha!
07:43Ha ha ha!
07:44Ha ha ha ha!
07:45Ha ha ha ha!
07:46Ha ha ha ha!
07:47Professor Downey!
07:48Dear me, uh, did you break something?
07:52Oh, Professor Downey, I'm Hugh Drummond. You're just in time for tea.
07:58Oh, I just had some tea out there.
08:00Oh, I see you've got some more here. How jolly!
08:02Ha ha ha!
08:03Ha ha ha!
08:04Ha ha ha!
08:05This is Alsey Longworth.
08:06Longworth.
08:07Anglo-Norman name.
08:0811th century.
08:09How do you do?
08:10How do you do?
08:11Ha ha ha!
08:12Ha ha ha!
08:13Won't you come and meet my friends, Professor?
08:14Oh, oh, I'd be delighted.
08:16Ha ha ha!
08:17Phyllis, may I present Professor Downey, Miss Clavering.
08:20Ha ha ha!
08:21Charmed, dear.
08:22And Colonel Nielson of Scotland Yard.
08:23How are you?
08:24Ha ha ha!
08:25Ha ha ha!
08:26Ha ha ha!
08:27Ha ha ha!
08:28Ha ha ha!
08:29Ha ha!
08:30Ha ha ha!
08:31You're the commissioner of Scotland Yard.
08:32Oh, yes.
08:33I wrote a history about it once.
08:35Rather overrated, I fear.
08:36Scotland Yard?
08:37Oh, no, no.
08:38My book.
08:39Ha ha ha!
08:40Tea, Professor?
08:41Oh, thanks.
08:42Nothing like a good cup of hot tea on a cold January day.
08:48Oh, perhaps I should explain the reason of my visit.
08:52It's about the treasure.
08:53Treasure?
08:54What treasure?
08:55I estimate the value to be in the neighborhood of one million pounds.
08:58Of course, in the days of Charles I, the value of the pound wasn't...
09:01What on earth are you talking about, Professor?
09:03Oh, I'd better explain.
09:05Yes, yes, I will explain.
09:07You've heard of, uh, Bori Isliani.
09:10No, I can't say that I have.
09:12Well, he was my assistant in the museum until I had him arrested three years ago.
09:16Arrested?
09:17What for?
09:18For theft, sir.
09:19Theft of these.
09:20At least, I should say, a temporary theft since I've still got them.
09:23He was a scoundrel, sir.
09:25A sane, clever thinking scoundrel, sir.
09:28Who masqueraded under the name of Seton.
09:30Henry Seton.
09:32Stop it, Hugh.
09:33Before something happens.
09:34Not a chance, darling.
09:35Professor, may I ask what those papers are?
09:37Oh, all these are the plans of the ancient rooms and passages below Rocky Mount Tower.
09:42What, my own place?
09:43Yes.
09:44And this, this is the diary of Colonel John Cooper, a royalist officer under Charles I.
09:49One of my ancestors, darling.
09:50There's a portrait of him in the long gallery.
09:52Yes, we have a copy in the museum.
09:54Look rather a blackguard.
09:55A bit like you, Captain Drummond.
10:02Did I say something amusing?
10:04Not at all, Professor.
10:05Please go on.
10:06Let me see.
10:07Where was I?
10:08Oh, yes.
10:09I was puzzled as to why Seton should want to steal these particular papers.
10:12So I made a study of them together with all contemporary documents I had in my possession.
10:16And I came to the conclusion that there is a treasure, King's treasure, hidden somewhere.
10:22Here, perhaps, under our very feet.
10:24Do you hear that, darling?
10:25Right here in Rockingham.
10:26I might have known it.
10:27And now, this is what Colonel Cooper says in his diary.
10:32Riding all day and all night, got safely to Rockingham with the King's treasure.
10:36Do you hear that, darling?
10:37I heard.
10:38My wound, very painful.
10:40Conceal all the treasure in the passages without arousing suspicion of the servants.
10:45Dead will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
10:49Those are the passages, Captain Drummond, according to the plans.
10:52Rockingham is positively honeycombed.
10:55Oh, my.
10:56I was through them scores of times when a boy.
10:59Then you saw the crypt, the tower of the waters, the chamber of the spikes.
11:02The what?
11:03The tower of the water, the chamber of spikes.
11:05No, no, darling.
11:06No, they're new to me, sir.
11:08Then you haven't seen the places mentioned in this diary.
11:11Perhaps I didn't see them all.
11:12My father had the entrance to those passages walled up.
11:15Where was the entrance?
11:16In one of the storerooms, I believe.
11:18Why, the one directly below this, as a matter of fact.
11:21Obviously, there's another set of passages.
11:24The diary describes them minutely.
11:27And where's the entrance to those passages, Professor?
11:30Unfortunately, Colonel, I cannot tell you yet.
11:33Good.
11:34You see, this diary makes use of a device very common at the time, a secret cipher.
11:39So that it conceals the exact location.
11:42Observe.
11:43And there it will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
11:49U-R-E-Z-Q-S-L-T-I-S.
11:53Sounds like Greek to me.
11:55Oh, no, no, my dear sir.
11:57If it were Greek, there'd be no different thing.
11:59Well, it's all very exciting, Professor, but I'm afraid it's not going to make us much richer.
12:04How's that, darling?
12:05Oh, my dear sir, you are wrong.
12:07I have already made progress in reading the cipher.
12:10You have?
12:11Mm-hmm.
12:12But I am hampered as to exact data concerning the tower itself.
12:16Now, I thought perhaps if I might see it.
12:20Professor, I'm to be married tomorrow.
12:25And the treasure that becomes mine then is all that interests me.
12:29Bravo, darling.
12:30That was a very pretty speech.
12:32But I should be glad to have you as my guest for as long as you may require to carry out your researches.
12:37Oh, my dear Captain Drummond, you make me very happy.
12:40What a wonderful adventure this is going to be.
12:44That's what I'm afraid of.
12:55Professor Downey asked me to give you this, sir.
13:01He said he thought you might like to read it tonight.
13:04Cooper's diary, huh?
13:05Very thoughtful of him.
13:06Made him comfortable, Tony?
13:07In the north wing, sir.
13:08He's engrossed in studying the cipher.
13:10You might put it beside my bed.
13:12Very good, sir.
13:13Your elaborate indifference doesn't fool me a bit, Hugh Drummond.
13:16I know you're positively aching to tear rucking him to pieces stone by stone.
13:20Darling, a million pounds!
13:22Hugh, please, won't you tell him to...
13:24What a fool I am.
13:37On my record, darling, you're justified in expecting battle, murder and sudden death.
13:41If anything should happen now.
13:42Not this time, sweet.
13:43We'll be married tomorrow at the stroke of twelve.
13:54What prevented it five other times?
13:59Fires, murders, explosions, everything sort of an earthquake.
14:04We'll be going.
14:05We'll get married tomorrow.
14:07We'll be going.
14:08We'll be going.
14:09We'll get married tomorrow.
14:10Where's the clergyman?
14:11He'll be a long old boy.
14:12Don't get nervous.
14:13I thought everything was arranged.
14:14Don't worry, darling.
14:15It is.
14:16Cut it out, big boy.
14:17Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:21Bet you forgot the ring.
14:22Uh, quit to a Jurassic neck.
14:23I haven't.
14:24Uh, quit to a Jurassic neck.
14:25I haven't.
14:26You.
14:27You.
14:28You really want to marry me, don't you.
14:30Can you imagine what you're going to say?
14:31I thought everything was arranged.
14:32Don't worry, darling.
14:33It is.
14:34Cut it out, big boy.
14:35Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:38Bet you forgot the ring.
14:41Uh, quit to a Jurassic neck.
14:42I haven't.
14:43You.
14:44You.
14:45You really want to marry me, don't you?
14:50Can you imagine what I'm doing?
14:54Can you imagine my not wanting to die?
15:24Colonel! Colonel Neal!
15:28You, Drummond, you have the most uncanny faculty for getting into trouble just when you're about to be married.
15:37You're wasting your time, Drummond. Below you is the Thames River, and I will.
15:54Tenny! Yes, sir? This place is going to blow up any minute. Get out while you have a chance.
16:10Tenny. Tenny!
16:12I tried to give satisfaction to him.
16:15Louder, Tenny. Louder!
16:24We did stud.
16:26I tried to rape.
16:27Welcome to the U.S.
16:42I'm going to ride.
16:44It's going to be great.
16:50This is a spirit of the St. Louis.
16:53Come on!
17:23I'm expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
17:30If anything should happen now.
17:31At this time, sweetie.
17:32We'll be married tomorrow at the Spruce.
17:35In a wedding or out of it, I am the best man.
17:53Here.
17:56Here.
17:56Here.
17:57Captain Drummond!
18:25Captain Drummond!
18:27Help!
18:27Mr. Longworth!
18:29Colonel, let her...
18:30Tenny, Tenny, what happened?
18:37We appear to have had a slight touch of nightmare, sir.
18:44It was no nightmare to hit me on the chin.
18:47Then it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
18:57He opened the door!
19:00It was no nightmare that hit me on the chin.
19:02Then it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
19:07Hey, open the door.
19:17Have you two been fighting?
19:18Fighting? Oh, no, sir.
19:19It's you.
19:20No, no, darling, there's nothing to worry about.
19:22I warned you, if we came down here, something would happen.
19:24What was it?
19:25Probably a second story man, Colonel, who thought Rockingham was still unoccupied.
19:28We'd rather get the worst of it, eh, Tenny?
19:30It could hardly be called a holiday, sir.
19:32Let's go after the Blackers, old boy.
19:34There was only one, Algie, only one.
19:36Only one?
19:37You mean you let one man knock you both down and then get away?
19:41Oh, dear, dear, dear, you're slipping, old thing.
19:43You too, Tenny.
19:44And we are humiliated, sir.
19:47Billis, you mark my words.
19:50He'll wriggle out of this wedding just as he did all the others.
19:53Well, that's hardly fair, Aunt Blanche.
19:55I was just reading Colonel Cooper's diary.
19:57It's gone.
19:58And so am I.
19:59Good night.
20:00Colonel, somebody beside Donny thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:01You didn't see his face?
20:02I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:03Afterwards we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:04Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:07No.
20:08Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:09Then let's leave here now.
20:10We can be in London in an hour and...
20:12All right, darling, we'll do that very thing.
20:13Captain Drummond's room?
20:14Yes, Professor Downey.
20:15He wants to speak to you.
20:16Says it's urgent.
20:17Don't talk to him, Hugh.
20:18He's my house guest, darling.
20:19I must.
20:20All right.
20:21That dear old girl is quite all right.
20:22Nothing's going to happen.
20:23Yes, Professor.
20:24Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:25He's six minutes late.
20:26You have?
20:27Yes, Professor.
20:28Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:29He's six minutes late.
20:30You have?
20:31No.
20:32No.
20:33No.
20:34No.
20:35No.
20:36No.
20:37No.
20:38No.
20:39No.
20:40No.
20:41No.
20:42No.
20:43No.
20:44No.
20:45No.
20:46No.
20:47No.
20:48No.
20:49No.
20:50No.
20:51No.
20:52No.
20:53No.
20:54Enemy of the минут's late.
20:55You have!
20:56He solved the cipher.
20:58Go on, Professor.
21:00Are you certain?
21:01Yes, yes, yes.
21:03I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
21:13Henry Seton.
21:14Hello?
21:15Hello.
21:16Are you there?
21:19So you know where the treasure is, Professor Downey.
21:21Yes, Henry.
21:22Henry, now I know why you tried to steal the Cooper Diary.
21:26You saved me a lot of work.
21:29Line's dead. I knew it.
21:30Tenny!
21:31I had the mill, sir.
21:33I give up.
21:34Now, darling.
21:35I know it's not your fault.
21:36The fates are against us.
21:37It'd be the same if we went to Timbuktu to get married.
21:39But, sweetheart.
21:40As long as that's the way it is.
21:41Tenny, give me a pistol.
21:43Darling, you're one in a thousand.
21:45Last time I was one in a million.
21:49Professor!
21:50Professor Downey!
21:51I say, old boy, let me, will you?
21:54Hello!
21:55Are you there?
21:57Are you there?
21:58I have it here, sir.
22:01Stand back, now.
22:07Let Algy try it, Hugh.
22:08Yes, I'll show you how, old boy. Hold this, will you?
22:15Ow!
22:17Now, darling, no nerves, old girl. No nerves.
22:19In heaven's name, Hugh Drummond. Couldn't you wait until morning?
22:23What is it, sir?
22:24That's what we're trying to find out, Bullton.
22:26Pardon me, sir.
22:27And if you'll pardon me, sir.
22:29Do you really intend to marry this, this lunatic?
22:34I'm doing my best.
22:35Heaven protect your children.
22:36We'll name the first girl after you, auntie.
22:38Gosh!
22:39Well, well, well, hurry up, I'm gonna get back to sleep.
22:41Pardon me.
22:42Never mind, Danny.
22:43I'll follow you, sir.
22:44Hello.
22:45Rockingham Police Station.
22:46This is Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
22:48A man has been killed at Rockingham De...
22:58Hello, Rockingham Police Station.
23:11This is Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
23:13A man has been killed at Rockingham...
23:15No, no, no, no, wait a minute.
23:18Not the lodge, Rockingham Tower.
23:21Notify the coroner and send a detail of police over here to patrol the grounds.
23:25Yes, have them report to me personally.
23:27I'll explain when they arrive.
23:29Colonel.
23:30Hold the line, will you, a minute?
23:31What is it, Archie?
23:32I've been thinking.
23:34What about?
23:37Nothing.
23:39I'm not surprised.
23:52I've checked the windows and doors in this wing, Mr. Tennyson.
23:55And the billiard room?
23:55Everything is secure, sir.
23:56You can start on the second floor.
23:58Very good, sir.
24:04I say thank you.
24:06How's your hand, Blanche?
24:08Hugh gave her a sleeping tablet.
24:10Good, just what she needed.
24:11Colonel, Downey mentioned someone by the name of Seton, didn't he?
24:14Hugh, this is interesting.
24:16Isshiani, or Seton, was released from prison yesterday.
24:19I just got that from the yard as you came in.
24:21Then he's the man who murdered the professor.
24:23And tried to do me in.
24:24And stole Cooper's diary from your room.
24:26And Downey's key to the cipher.
24:28Which means that Seton will try to get into Rockingham again.
24:31And that is why I had Tenney and Bolton lock all the doors and windows, my dear Sherlock Holmes.
24:35And that is why I ordered a detail of police to patrol the grounds, my dear Watson.
24:40Get an ounce of brains, you'd leave the doors and windows open.
24:47And let the fellow walk off with a million pounds.
24:49And if I remember my Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson managed to get married.
24:55Which is more than you'll ever do, Hugh Drummond.
24:57As long as you keep fooling around with treasure trove and that villainous diary.
25:02Sit down, Auntie.
25:03Oh, I don't want to sit down.
25:05But Auntie, we haven't got the diary.
25:07I beg your pardon, sir.
25:09I found it under the window of Professor Downey's room.
25:13Good, Tenney.
25:13See, Phyllis, deception, collusion.
25:19Hugh, I'm afraid.
25:21That book brought death to Professor Downey.
25:23Please get rid of it, won't you?
25:27All right, darling, I will.
25:28Now.
25:29Tenney?
25:30Yes, Kipton Drill.
25:31The diary.
25:33A match?
25:38A newspaper?
25:39Yes, Kipton Drill.
25:41The Times.
25:42Thank you, sir.
25:43Still wasn't.
25:46Times, sir.
25:47And a fireplace.
25:49I follow you, sir.
25:53You're quite certain, sir?
25:55Fire, Tenney.
25:56Flames.
25:57As you say, sir.
25:59You see?
26:03Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
26:06You're a nice boy.
26:10Come now, dear.
26:11We can sleep.
26:12I see, old boy.
26:18Did she kiss you?
26:19Did she, Algie?
26:20I saw her.
26:23Maybe she did, Algie.
26:25Maybe she did.
26:26Well, there goes a million pounds.
26:32That's love, old boy.
26:34Real love.
26:35Well, maybe it is, Algie, but somehow I, well, I feel like a quitter.
26:39I beg your pardon, sir.
26:40I beg your pardon, sir.
26:42But if you feel any pangs of regret about burning the diary, I took the precaution to burn the telephone directory, sir.
26:51Just in case.
26:52Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:55I tried to give satisfaction, sir.
26:57You're a valetable treasure, sir.
27:00Treasure indeed, Tenney.
27:02And with this, we'll find it, eh?
27:04As they say in America, though, one can't be shot for trying.
27:08You're wrong, Tenney.
27:11Professor Donnie wants.
27:21Well, anything doing?
27:22Nothing irregular.
27:23Nothing but me losing a good night's sleep.
27:25I wish they see Henry Seaton where Nalifax I do.
27:28Yeah, cooperating with Scotland Yard to catch Henry Seaton might win you a promotion, my boy.
27:32Aye, or a bullet in the back.
27:35Yeah, talk hearty now.
27:36Talk hearty.
27:37Hearty?
27:38Hearty me, all right.
27:40Go on, carry on.
27:47K-K-O-M, M's the thirteenth letter.
27:51If that were transposed, we'd have N.
27:55Halsey, wake up!
27:56Oh, give me a while, give me a while.
27:58Come on, old boy, you promised to help me.
28:00No, no, don't, darling, don't.
28:02What?
28:03Oh, it's you, huh?
28:05Oh, then she didn't slap me.
28:07Who didn't?
28:08The girl on the bus.
28:10We were riding down Piccadilly, and just as I kissed her, you slapped me.
28:15I'm sorry, old boy.
28:16Oh, that's all right.
28:17I'll probably see her again sometime.
28:19Now look, Halsey, I've got the...
28:21I forgot to ask for a telephone number.
28:26Look, Halsey, I've got it.
28:27The first letter, it's N, I think.
28:29First letter in what?
28:31In the alphabet, Halsey, the letter N.
28:33N in the alphabet.
28:35That's funny.
28:36Shut up.
28:37Now here, look at that.
28:37Z, Y, X, W, B, U.
28:44Now, it's a reversed alphabet directly above a normal ABC one.
28:48Oh, right, Hal.
28:49A is Z, and B is Y.
28:52Right.
28:53Now, when I read you a letter, you write down the one directly above it in the reversed alphabet.
28:57I get it.
28:58I think, yeah.
29:00X.
29:01X.
29:02C.
29:03L.
29:05O.
29:05L.
29:06Go on.
29:07X.
29:08C.
29:09L.
29:10O.
29:10L.
29:12O.
29:12Now, that's the first word.
29:13What does it spell?
29:16Coo-coo.
29:18Coo-coo?
29:20Doesn't make sense, does it?
29:22Well, that depends on the point of view, Halsey.
29:24Oh, I can find it if we only have Professor Downey's notes.
29:30Y.
29:32I.
29:34R.
29:34Z.
29:36A.
29:37I.
29:38R.
29:40Y.
29:41B.
29:43R.
29:44I.
29:45O.
29:46L.
29:54A great help you'd turn out to be.
30:10Three clubs.
30:11I'd give anything for just one.
30:14Doubled.
30:16With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
30:19Full, three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
30:27But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
30:37Y.
30:38R.
30:38A.
30:38R.
30:38B.
30:39I.
30:39L.
30:40L.
30:40I.
30:41B.
30:41R.
30:42A.
30:42R.
30:42Y.
30:43R.
30:43Y.
30:46Library.
30:47The library.
30:49The library.
31:17The library.
31:19The library is for us!
31:21The End
31:51Oh, how are you?
32:21Found Elsie. What are you shooting at me for?
32:51He got my mate, sir.
32:56Did you see who it was?
32:57No, sir.
32:58Let's get him inside.
33:01Tenney!
33:02Hurry down.
33:03What's the matter with the lights?
33:04The pews must have been, sir.
33:06It's all right now, sir.
33:09It's all right now, sir.
33:22Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:27He's done for, sir.
33:28You?
33:33What is it?
33:34It's one of the constables, dear.
33:39I beg your pardon, miss.
33:41Over here, Bolton.
33:42Yes, Mr. Tennyson.
33:44You'd better go to your room, darling.
33:46Yes, and keep Aunt Blanche in hers.
33:48She must have snapped right through it.
33:49That's something to be thankful for.
33:51Alf had a feeling that Seton would get him, sir.
33:53Any instructions?
33:54Yes, locate your menace station close around the house.
33:57Very good, sir.
33:59Poor fellow.
34:01It might have been you if Seton had got inside.
34:03But he was inside.
34:04We saw him.
34:06You saw him?
34:08Where?
34:09In this very room, Colonel.
34:11He must have hidden somewhere after he killed Downey.
34:14That explains why the lights went off
34:15and why the burglar alarm sounded when he went out.
34:17Confound it, Alfie, if you hadn't made such a racket.
34:20Oh, I'm sorry, old boy.
34:21I was only trying to help.
34:22I know, I know.
34:23Well, besides, Seton won't try and get inside again tonight.
34:27How do we know he isn't in now?
34:29We saw him go through those doors.
34:31He had plenty of time to come back while we were outside, Alfie.
34:33Oh, Hugh.
34:34You mean he may be hiding in one of those secret passages?
34:38Waiting to pop out and corpse one of us?
34:40Well, it's not unlikely.
34:42He has Downey's key to the cipher, you know.
34:44And we don't know where those passages are.
34:46Not the ones Downey mentioned at any rate.
34:48Tenney, Bolton.
34:49Coming, sir.
34:54We're going over to this house from cellar to attic.
34:56Darling, you better go to your room and lock yourself in and stay there.
34:59Uh, Bolton, see Miss Clapping to a room and stay on guard in the hall.
35:02Very good, sir.
35:03But, Hugh, I'm...
35:04Please do as I say, darling.
35:05All right.
35:10Alfie.
35:12Alfie, you take this floor and I'll do the cellar.
35:14Tenney, you take the upper floors.
35:15Oh, what am I to do, Hugh?
35:17Well, Colonel, you stay here.
35:18If Seton comes back...
35:19I'll mow him down.
35:21All right, Hugh, I'll carry on.
35:23Bulldog, Drummond, Sacred Police.
35:25Could have gone that way.
35:28I don't think so, sir.
35:29He would have had to pass one of my men I had stationed at the front gate.
35:32And he didn't take the path toward the lodge?
35:34No, sir, because that's where I was on duty when it happened.
35:36He could have gone through the floor beds and escaped through the woods.
35:39Not unless he had seven-league boots, Colonel.
35:40That bed's over 20 feet wide.
35:41There's another footprint on it.
35:43And had he gone that way...
35:44He would have met us.
35:45Which he did not.
35:46We can't let him get away with this, Colonel.
35:48He's made a fair job of it so far.
35:50May I get up now, sir?
35:52Oh, yes, Tenney, thank you.
35:54Well, that gives us a pretty fair idea of what took place here last night.
35:58Except how he got away.
36:00Yes, Alzi, except how he got away.
36:02And if he didn't go that way, and if he didn't go that way...
36:04Or that way.
36:05Then which way did he go?
36:07Up, sir.
36:09Up?
36:10Yes, Alzi, up!
36:12The ivy!
36:13Huh?
36:18Look, Colonel, he's left a trail of broken ivy.
36:20His plan is day.
36:21Now will you believe he's somewhere in the house?
36:23In the passages, Colonel.
36:24And when we open the entrance to the ones I'm familiar with...
36:26We'll try to find the entrance to the ones he's familiar with.
36:28Right.
36:29Have you ordered the men from the village, Tenney?
36:30They started to open the wall in the storeroom an hour ago, sir.
36:33Good.
36:34Now we'll see if Seton went through the window or made it to the roof.
36:36Watch out for Hill.
36:37Right.
36:38See you in the third floor, sir.
36:39Right, Tenney?
36:40Wedding festivities, indeed.
36:42This place is a museum of horrors.
36:44Not just one murder, but two!
36:46Two murders in one night!
36:48There, there, Aunty.
36:49It's all over now.
36:52What's that?
36:53What is it?
36:54Help!
36:55Help!
36:59Sorry, darling.
37:00I thought you were downstairs having breakfast.
37:02Hugh Drummond, what are you doing?
37:04Peering in my window.
37:05Now perhaps you'll realize the kind of man you're marrying?
37:08Please, Aunt Blanche, let me explain.
37:09I'm following Seton.
37:10Yes, climbing up walls like a bat.
37:12That's how he got away, up the ivy to one of the rooms above this, I think.
37:16I'm through.
37:17I've had enough.
37:18I'm taking the next train back to town, and so are you.
37:21But, Aunty, we're going to be married at noon.
37:23Well, I could be done to death twenty times before then.
37:25Oh, Aunt Blanche.
37:27I'm not your aunt.
37:28I wouldn't be your aunt if an act of parliament decreed it.
37:31But you're Phyllis's aunt, and you can't desert her like this.
37:34Oh, can't I?
37:35I suppose you will stop me, you...
37:38You...
37:39You fine climbing Dracula!
37:41You better go.
37:45I'll talk to her.
37:47All right.
37:49No, not that way.
37:50Down.
37:51Anything for you, darling.
37:53Whoa!
38:05Phew!
38:06Don't worry, darling.
38:07That's the easiest way to come down.
38:09Captain Drummond!
38:10Yes, Tenny?
38:11There's no trace of him in this room, sir.
38:12Well, try the next one then.
38:13That'll be Bolton's room, sir.
38:14Well, go over and see if the vines are torn over there on the right.
38:15Very good, sir.
38:16Bolton!
38:17Bolton!
38:18Bolton!
38:19Bolton!
38:20Bolton!
38:21Tenny!
38:22Tenny!
38:23Tenny!
38:24That's odd he doesn't answer.
38:25Let's go up.
38:26Captain Drummond!
38:27What is it, Sergeant?
38:28I'll pray, sir.
38:29One of my men found a body in clear wood.
38:30What, another one?
38:31Yes, sir.
38:32And we're hoping that you can identify him.
38:33What makes you think that?
38:34Because, sir, he was coming here.
38:35Here?
38:36Open season at Rockingham.
38:37The stationmaster identified him as a passenger on the 215 yesterday.
38:39He asked the way to the tower, sir.
38:40What'd he look like?
38:41Well, sir, he, uh...
38:42He was a...
38:43He was a...
38:44He was a...
38:45He was a...
38:46He was a man about 40.
38:47Medium height.
38:48Said he was your new butler, sir.
38:49Bolton!
38:50I've got it.
38:51Bolton started for Rockingham.
38:52It was Seaton who arrived.
38:53right.
38:53He must have met Bolton on the train, and he...
38:55I think you?
38:56He's a little bit...
38:57I think he...
38:58That was a new butler, sir.
38:59That was a new butler, sir.
39:00Bolton!
39:01I've got it.
39:02Bolton started for Rockingham.
39:03It was Seaton who arrived.
39:04Right.
39:05He must have met Bolton on the train, and...
39:06I say you...
39:07He's a new...
39:08I'm pretty close.
39:09A new butler, sir.
39:10Good old friend.
39:11I'm pretty close.
39:12It's very close.
39:13Right. He must have met Bolton on the train and...
39:15I say, Hugh, what's happened to Tenny?
39:17Tenny! We're wasting time.
39:20Sergeant, let no one leave the house.
39:22Right, Sergeant.
39:37Here, Alzi.
39:38What?
39:38Up there.
39:39Oh.
39:41Did you get my hot water bottle, Phyllis?
39:43Oh.
39:46Bolton.
39:47What are you doing in my room?
39:48Whoa!
39:53Tenny!
39:55Tenny!
39:59Well, he doesn't seem to be in...
40:01in the water bottle.
40:06Where is everyone, Bolton?
40:07In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering.
40:09Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
40:10Oh, thank you.
40:12Captain Drummond, take it easy, old boy.
40:13What happened?
40:14What did you see?
40:16Stars.
40:16Stars.
40:19Auntie.
40:24Auntie!
40:26It was Bolton, sir.
40:27Yes, we know, Tenny, we know.
40:38Hugh!
40:38Hugh, where are you?
40:40Hugh!
40:41Sir, you're going to go!
41:05Bolton!
41:05What on earth are you doing?
41:06What on earth are you doing?
41:08Captain Drummond must have found the entrance to the passages, miss.
41:11But I thought the entrance...
41:12Phyllis!
41:14Phyllis!
41:20Phyllis!
41:21Phyllis!
41:23She must be with Seton.
41:24But where?
41:25That's what we've got to find out, Algy.
41:27See if the men have opened the wall in the storeroom.
41:29Colonel, I'm sure that scream came from here.
41:31There must be an entrance somewhere.
41:36Hey!
41:39Those old blighters didn't half wall up the entrance to these here passages, they didn't.
41:43Wait a minute!
41:44I'm the old blighter that walled it up twenty years ago!
41:52Blimey, what's he doing?
41:54Making a bomb, young fellow, my lad.
41:57Bottle, fuse, and gunpowder.
42:01It'll blow open the entrance to that passage in no time at all.
42:07Won't it damage the outside?
42:12Not a chance, oh no.
42:13I learned all about this sort of thing during the war.
42:15Pardon me, sir.
42:16We are both needed in the laborer, sir.
42:18Right-ho, I'll toddle along.
42:20Oh, confound it, Colonel.
42:21These panels are like the rock at Gibraltar, all of them.
42:23This code isn't solving either.
42:24Well, what do you expect?
42:25It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:26You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:27No, no, don't get the wind up, Hugh.
42:28But Colonel, Phyllis!
42:29Algy!
42:30Tenny!
42:31Right here, old boy!
42:32Tenny, sir!
42:33Oh, good work, Tenny.
42:34Don't get busy, all of you.
42:35I've never used one of these things.
42:36It's just like a corkscrew, Algy.
42:37Oh, I know how to do that.
42:38Oh, I know how to do that.
42:40Oh.
42:41I know how to do that.
42:42Is it okay?
42:43What do you expect?
42:44It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:45You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:47No, no.
42:48Don't cut the wind up, Hugh.
42:49But Colonel, Phyllis!
42:50Algy!
42:51Tenny!
42:52Right here, old boy.
42:53Good work, Tenny.
42:54Don't get busy, all of you.
42:55Yeah, but I've never used one of these things.
42:56It's just like a corkscrew, Algy.
42:57Oh, I know how to do that.
43:08I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:12These passengers are like catacombs.
43:14May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:17I don't know.
43:18You know something I hadn't counted on.
43:21You know just how you were going to get out of here.
43:23Well, that's the way we came in.
43:26I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the library.
43:30They know the entrance is there.
43:33Do they?
43:34We heard them.
43:36So they must have heard me when I screamed.
43:39Oh, you're a smart girl.
43:54The Tower of Waters.
43:56Now I know how I'm going to get out of here.
44:06Too bad?
44:07Well, all through the library with you is my ticket.
44:11So don't try to get away again. I wouldn't like it.
44:26The Chamber of the Spikes.
44:37It's worth a hundred quid if it's worth a penny.
44:39Here, put it on.
44:40No!
44:41Not good enough for a lady, sir, I suppose.
44:43I've got it, sir.
44:45Good work, sir.
44:47Oh!
44:48Seems just like the others.
44:51There's a draft here, Colonel.
44:53Hugh!
44:54Good work, Algie.
44:55Stand clear as any of this.
44:58Algie!
45:00Huh?
45:01Will you please get out of the way?
45:03Oh!
45:04I love you.
45:05Aw, boy, I love you.
45:06No.
45:07No, me.
45:09Good work.
45:10onneries
45:11Of course.
45:12Aw, everybody.
45:13Don't get out of here now.
45:14There'll see.
45:17Father's like a scant TV.
45:18You come here...
45:19Don't get out of here...
45:20Ah, one time!
45:21I love you.
45:22Aw, nobody.
45:23There's that I'll spare you.
45:24Buy me!
45:25Noful snowflakes!
45:26Come here.
45:27If you're mart luôn Rosa...
45:28I'll save me!
45:29份 myself!
45:30You number two!
45:31Oh!
45:32iger!
45:33But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
45:48This place could tell some pretty tales, eh?
46:03Clever?
46:34With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
46:43Fold three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
47:03Fillets! Fillets!
47:25Well, what's my little gold piece?
47:33The Roundheads never knew what became of the King's jewels after the Battle of Naseby.
47:40Here.
47:44You little fool, I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:49Fillets! Fillets!
48:03Oh, like sardines in a tin, birds in a cage would be more appropriate, sir.
48:23Pardon me, sir.
48:25But we are in the spot of trouble.
48:28Oh!
48:33Oh!
48:41Oh!
48:54Oh!
48:56Oh!
49:00Oh!
49:01Oh!
49:03Oh!
49:06Oh!
49:16Oh!
49:22Oh!
49:24Oh!
49:26Oh!
49:28Oh!
49:30Let's go.
50:00Let's go.
50:30Don't fire me, Phyllis.
50:40That's right, Drummond.
50:41Let me talk to him.
50:43Satan.
50:44Yes, Colonel?
50:45Let Miss Clowering come down to us and we'll give you a fair chance to get away.
50:48Throw out your pistols.
50:49Oh, I say, we can't do that.
50:52I'll count five.
50:53One.
50:53Don't do it, Hugh.
50:54He'll kill you.
50:55Two.
50:56Here they come.
51:03Pardon me, sir.
51:04The reserve.
51:09Good work, Tenny.
51:11Come out, all of you.
51:12You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:18They promised to let you go.
51:19I'll see to that.
51:21First, we'll have Captain Drummond.
51:23You!
51:23Come on.
51:24Let me go.
51:26Oh, my God.
51:56Oh, my God.
52:26Ah, Captain Drummond, Miss Clavering.
52:29Places, everyone.
52:30Rehearsal.
52:31Right over here, please.
52:32Facing me.
52:33And Captain, you will be on Miss Clavering's right.
52:37Oh, yes, of course.
52:38Just a little bit closer, if you please, yes.
52:41And Colonel, you will be on Miss Clavering's left.
52:43Oh, splendid.
52:44And Mr. Longworth, you will right here.
52:47Oh, Captain Drummond's right.
52:49That's right.
52:49Well, how splendid.
52:50Now, you're supposing we run through it.
52:52All you have to do is to keep calm.
52:55Now, let me see.
52:56Dearly beloved, we are gathered here.
53:05I say, Hugh, are you there?
53:07Oh, where's Phyllis?
53:14Chin up, old boy.
53:15She's gone.
53:17Gone where?
53:18She and her aunt have departed for Africa.
53:23Africa?
53:25Yes, to hunt lions.
53:26She said it would be safe as her.
