00:30The
01:00I don't see it.
01:07I do, sir.
01:08Where?
01:09On that ledge, sir, resting on a bit of the Tribune.
01:11Our most practical paper, Tenny.
01:13I'd rather like it, sir.
01:14Remind me to renew my subscription.
01:15That won't be necessary, sir.
01:17And why not?
01:18Because a chick for your subscription is already in the post.
01:22Ah, Tenny, you think of everything, don't you?
01:23I, uh, try something, sir.
01:26Then think of some way to rescue my package.
01:29There, sir, as they say in the books.
01:31You have me, sir.
01:34Is one of my American cousins in the crowd?
01:36What's your name?
01:37Drummond.
01:38Captain Hugh C. Drummond.
01:39I ain't got no cousins by that name, but I'm an American, all right?
01:42Ah, fine.
01:42Then may I bottle a piece of your chewing gum?
01:44Sure.
01:47You'll mention it.
01:51Are you all right, sir?
01:53Quite all right, Tenny.
01:54Now, sir, may I borrow your stick?
02:04An excellent idea, sir.
02:06Colossal, Tenny.
02:07One might almost say stupendous, sir.
02:14Now, thank you, sir.
02:24Sir, what are you?
02:25My friend, I'm going to become a chewing gum fiend.
02:28Keeps the teeth nice and white.
02:29See?
02:30How interesting.
02:30Here.
02:32You'll mention it.
02:34Can you watch, Tenny?
02:35Thank you, sir.
02:39Not bad, eh?
02:40I rather like it so.
02:41Say, mister, what's in that package?
02:44Wedding rings.
02:50Now that we have them, Tenny, suppose we make a final check.
02:52Very well, sir.
02:53To begin with, I have the rings.
02:54No, sir, I have the rings, sir.
02:56Ah, you have the rings.
02:57In my pocket, sir.
02:58Marriage papers?
02:59In your pocket, sir.
03:00Authorization for your wedding in Switzerland.
03:02Railway tickets?
03:04Car 7, London to Paris Express, leaving Victoria Station tonight.
03:09Flowers?
03:10Four kids, sir, to be placed in Miss Phyllis' compartment at 9.50 p.m.
03:14Hotel accommodations.
03:15Paris tomorrow morning at 9.50, sir.
03:19Two suites.
03:20The following day in Geneva, one suite.
03:25Ah, Tenny, getting married is great fun, isn't it?
03:27In Switzerland, sir?
03:28Anywhere, Tenny, anywhere.
03:30It's a popular belief, sir.
03:32Tenny, you're a pessimist.
03:33I've been very happy, sir.
03:41Captain Drummond.
03:41Yes, Tenny.
03:42When one is through with it, what does one do with it?
03:46I see.
03:47When one is done with it, what does one do with it?
03:49Oh, it's not a riddle.
03:50No, then what is it?
03:51It's an academic inquiry as to how one disposes of one's chewing gum.
03:55Ah, I see.
03:57Yeah, that does require force.
03:58Yes.
04:02Don't trouble, sir.
04:04And why not?
04:05I've swallowed it, sir.
04:09Well, Tenny, that's one way.
04:11Well, hardly the right way, do you think, sir?
04:12Time will tell.
04:14Oh, speaking of times,
04:15it's at 4.30 I'm to call for Colonel Nielsen at Scotland Yard.
04:19Good afternoon, Captain Drummond.
04:29On time to the dock.
04:30Colonel Nielsen will be delayed a few moments.
04:31Well, I'll wait.
04:32And there's clamoring telephone from Rockingham Lodge.
04:34Shall I get her for you?
04:35Yes, will you please?
04:35You may use the phone in there.
04:39Rockingham Lodge, please.
04:42Hello?
04:44Oh, hello, dear.
04:45I've got the rings.
04:47Don't lose them.
04:47Now, in the first place, you called me...
04:49To tell you that Gwen...
04:51Asked you to tell me...
04:52That Algie would meet you at Colonel Nielsen's office
04:54and you could all come out...
04:55Together.
04:56All right, darling.
04:57See you soon.
05:02Colonel Nielsen will see you in just a moment.
05:07Sumi Okanda.
05:08Hugh Drummond.
05:09Well, seven years haven't changed you.
05:11Nor you, my dear friend.
05:13And the English is more perfect than ever.
05:14Due largely to our most present scholastic association.
05:18Ah, that's the talk of a diplomat.
05:20That is kind.
05:21Are you?
05:21Am I?
05:22A diplomat.
05:24I see you have not forgotten.
05:26What?
05:27To ask questions.
05:29Goodbye, Colonel.
05:30Goodbye, sir.
05:31Not at all, sir.
05:32I got hold of a foreign office immediately.
05:33Very good, sir.
05:34Mr. Kahn, sir.
05:34Colonel Nielsen.
05:35How do you do, sir?
05:36Uh, just a few minutes.
05:37Do you step in, Mr. Kahn's up?
05:38You'll forgive me?
05:39You'll forgive me?
05:40Of course.
05:41Go ahead.
05:49I trust my visit will not upset your friends.
05:51Well, friends are made to be upset, aren't they?
05:53That is so.
05:54That is why I am here.
05:56To try and upset some friends.
05:58Sit down.
06:02Do you know who and what I am?
06:04Of course.
06:05We understand each other, then.
06:07Between us, representing in a separate way the interest of two friendly nations.
06:14There need to be no evasion.
06:15That is so?
06:17Quite.
06:17Then I'll tell you something of great importance.
06:20Concerning?
06:21Sir John Huckston.
06:23How do you know?
06:24How I know is not of importance.
06:27Sir John Huckston has invented a super explosive,
06:31an ultra-powerful combination of destructive elements
06:35for use in airplane bombs.
06:38He's leaving today for friends to confer with munition chemist
06:42of your great ally.
06:44That is so?
06:45Go on.
06:46An attempt will be made to steal
06:48the portion of experimental supply he's taking with him.
06:52How do you know this?
06:53Please.
06:54A single airplane
06:55carrying a hundred small bombs
06:58loaded with this devastating force
07:01could destroy any capital in the world.
07:04Has it ever occurred to you, my dear Mr. Kanda,
07:06that espionage might be a rather dangerous pastime?
07:09Now is not time for accusation or recriminations.
07:13My country and your country, too,
07:16are in great danger
07:17if Sir John's discovery falls into unfriendly hunt.
07:21Suppose I were to tell you there's no such thing
07:23as this explosive.
07:24We agreed not to wait.
07:27Please, I'm a friend.
07:28I wish to cooperate.
07:29You told me everything?
07:31All that I know.
07:32I'll see Sir John at once.
07:34Yes, of course.
07:34That will be proper.
07:35Goodbye.
07:39Yes, Colonel?
07:41Get Sir John Haxton on the wire at once.
07:43Very well, sir.
07:43And Captain Drummond is waiting.
07:45I will send him in.
07:49Ready, Colonel?
07:50I'm sorry, Hugh.
07:51I'm afraid you'll have to run along without me.
07:53You mean you're not coming to the station with us?
07:54I didn't say that.
07:55I said you'll have to run along without me.
07:57Then you will be there.
07:58Later, yes.
07:59Later.
08:01What's happened?
08:02Happened.
08:03Before Sumi Okonda came in here,
08:04you looked quite human.
08:06Implying that now I don't?
08:07Definitely.
08:08My dear Hugh,
08:09this is Scots and Yard.
08:11Things do happen here.
08:12Things that also happen
08:13to be none of your business.
08:15Then Sumi Okonda's visit was important.
08:17Yes, his visit was important.
08:18Just like 50 others today were important.
08:21Now will you please run along
08:24and quit prying into things
08:25that don't concern you.
08:28Yes?
08:29I have Sir John Hexton's home for you, sir.
08:31Thanks.
08:33Hey.
08:35Hello?
08:36One moment, please,
08:37Colonel Nielsen.
08:38Sir John is in his laboratory.
08:39I'll connect you.
08:39I'll do it.
09:06Of course.
09:08Put him on.
09:09Oh, hello, Colonel.
09:12Well, I'm due at the airport
09:14in half an hour.
09:15I'm afraid you'll have to delay it, sir.
09:17I'll explain when I get there.
09:19Yeah, but it is important.
09:21Yes, yes,
09:22just as quickly as I can make it.
09:23About 20 minutes.
09:25Goodbye.
09:25Goodbye, sir.
09:26Colonel.
09:27It's none of your business.
09:29Trevor's speaking.
09:30Have Smith and Jennings
09:31meet me at Sir John Hexton's
09:33right away, please.
09:34Right, sir.
09:36Colonel,
09:36if you...
09:37Why don't you think
09:37about getting married
09:38instead of tormenting me
09:40with your infernal questions?
09:41I only wanted to tell you
09:42that I'd be glad
09:43to drop you off
09:43at Sir John's.
09:45All right.
09:46But I warn you...
09:47Not to ask questions.
09:48I mean it.
09:49Of course you mean it.
09:52Righto.
09:52I'll wait here.
09:53Oh, sir.
09:55Oh, I'm sorry, Colonel.
09:56Why, I'm terribly sorry.
10:02Oh, Colonel, I'm...
10:03I know!
10:04You're horribly sorry.
10:06Yes.
10:07Allow me.
10:11Thanks.
10:11I've told you to tell her
10:13to tell her that I'm...
10:15Oh, come in, Colonel.
10:22Shall I put the base
10:23in the car, sir?
10:23You may as well.
10:24Oh, no.
10:24We'll take a special car
10:25from the yard.
10:26You heard?
10:27Yes, sir, Colonel.
10:31What's up?
10:32There's been a leak somewhere.
10:34Your plans are known.
10:35How could they be?
10:36How about your secretary?
10:38Noguayas?
10:38He's been with me for years.
10:40Does he know what you're doing?
10:41Yes and no.
10:42To keep you happy,
10:43I destroyed all my notes.
10:45Remember?
10:46Is Noguayas traveling with you?
10:47He's my navigator.
10:48We're flying in my ship.
10:49In an army plane, you mean?
10:51You'll be traveling on the escort
10:52from the moment you leave the house.
10:53We can't do that.
10:54Why not?
10:55I can't risk those army chaps' lives.
10:57You're risking your own, aren't you?
10:58It's my show.
11:00And this stuff's full of jokes.
11:03There's enough hexanide
11:04in this suitcase
11:05to blow Westminster Abbey
11:06into the North Sea.
11:08And, uh,
11:09want to leave?
11:10Loaded with this stuff
11:11and dropped from a plane,
11:12a hundred of those
11:13would wipe London off the map.
11:15Here, let me show you something.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:16Hmm.
11:17Hmm.
11:17Hmm.
11:17Hmm.
11:17Hmm.
11:18Hmm.
11:18Hmm.
11:18Hmm.
11:18Hmm.
11:19Hmm.
11:19Hmm.
11:20Hmm.
11:20Hmm.
11:20Hmm.
11:21Hmm.
11:21Hmm.
11:22That's a single crystal
11:29of hexanide.
11:30That little speck.
11:32Hold it a second, will you?
11:34Hmm.
11:41All right.
11:41I'll take it now.
11:43Come over here, eh?
11:44Exhibit A, and in case
11:53you don't know it,
11:54this is a hammer.
11:55Exhibit B.
11:56Be serious, will you?
11:57I am quite serious.
11:59Now watch.
12:02You see?
12:03It didn't go off.
12:04That's the trouble with the stuff.
12:05It's treacherous.
12:06Sometimes it behaves itself.
12:08On the other hand,
12:08it's liable to go off
12:09for no reason at all
12:10and lift a fellow
12:11into kingdom come.
12:14There you are.
12:17Suppose the explosive
12:19in that suitcase
12:20has decided to let go.
12:21More important still.
12:23Suppose that suitcase
12:24fell into unfriendly hands.
12:25That's why you're
12:26traveling under escort.
12:27Excuse me a moment.
12:33Yes?
12:35Well, have them wait.
12:37Two of your men are here.
12:38Hmm.
12:39We'll go with you
12:39to the airport.
12:40I'm flying my ship.
12:42That's the way you want it.
12:43I'd rather.
12:55Put them in the plane.
13:00I'll take that one.
13:01All right, sir.
13:02That's nice weather
13:02for flying.
13:07All right.
13:08We'll be an escort
13:09waiting for the bullshit.
13:10If you insist.
13:11But I still think
13:12you're making
13:12much ado about nothing.
13:13We're taking no chances.
13:14Well, goodbye, Colonel.
13:15What a while.
13:16We'll be Titins.
13:16No.
13:21Bye.
13:21Bye.
13:29Bye.
13:30Bye.
13:33Bye.
13:34Bye.
13:35Diversity.
13:35Bye.
13:38Bye.
13:38Bye.
13:39Bye.
13:42Bye.
13:43Bye.
13:44Wire this immediately to the authorities at Le Bourget.
14:04Hurry.
14:05Hello, Colonel.
14:06If you want to reach me, I'll be at Captain Drummond's in about an hour.
14:10Right, Colonel.
14:11Lock in the log.
14:24Hugh.
14:25Hello.
14:26Isn't this the wrong road?
14:28Shortcut.
14:29Hugh.
14:32Yes, Alsie.
14:34Aren't we going a little fast?
14:36I want to get there.
14:37So do I.
14:41So do I.
14:42We are not living there.
14:45I'm asking you, huh?
14:46My name is James J.
14:49I'm sorry.
14:51Thank you so much.
14:53Thanks again.
14:54Thanks for joining us for a while.
14:56Fine, I'm sorry.
14:58What rest are you doing?
14:59Yes, sir.
15:00What's your own thing?
15:01No, no.
15:02It's not your own thing.
15:03No, no.
15:04Oh, no, no.
15:05Yeah.
15:06What's your own thing?
16:07That must be Axon's plane.
16:12We'll know in just a minute.
16:13Go Gaze is working fast, all right.
16:31He said he'd get that suitcase out of the parachute and there it comes.
16:34I'd rather not be around it.
16:35The Axonite goes off when it lands.
16:37Go Gaze will be bailing out next.
16:39Get to a phone.
16:40Tell the boss everything's going okay.
16:41Right.
16:41What's that?
16:52I say, mystery out here.
17:09The Axonite goes on.
17:14The Axonite goes on.
17:16The Axonite goes on.
17:31He put on all speed when he saw us.
17:38Did you get it?
17:43You got it?
17:46You got it?
17:49You got it?
17:52You got it?
17:55You got it?
17:58You got it?
18:00Come on, get that thing in here quick.
18:06J.H.
18:09Haxton. Sir John Haxton, I'll bet.
18:11Huh?
18:12This afternoon in Colonel Nielsen's office.
18:14Listen.
18:15Captain Drummond.
18:16Captain Drummond!
18:30There's the car I saw.
18:45Get out of sight.
18:51Get out of sight.
19:03It's huge.
19:04Do you see what I see in there?
19:06There's nothing we can do now, LG.
19:08Captain.
19:09Captain Drummond.
19:10Ah.
19:11The ring on the finger.
19:12The end.
19:13Sir John's pilot, I suppose.
19:14There's something queer about this.
19:15Why, Hugh?
19:16The hand cold.
19:17Well, that's to be expected, isn't it?
19:18The rigor mortis doesn't set in so soon.
19:19This is the hand of a man who's been dead at least four hours.
19:23Your hands are.
19:48Thank you, Tom.
19:58Phyllis, we're here!
20:00Tammy, get me a spot of tea.
20:03Tea, sir?
20:04Yes. Captain Drummond.
20:06No, but you'd better have some.
20:07Yes, thank you, sir.
20:10Algy, this is a clue to something big.
20:12I wish we were in on it.
20:13I thought we were.
20:15Now, what's the matter with you?
20:17That thing gives me the creeps.
20:19Algy, brace up. I don't want Phyllis upset.
20:21You!
20:22Algy, wellgy!
20:24What shall I tell Gwen?
20:26If you mention a word of what's happened, I'll wring your neck.
20:30Oh!
20:31Algy, wellgy!
20:33Oh!
20:34So excited I could dance.
20:36Oh, I want to tell you before Phyllis does.
20:38Phyllis talked long distance to her Aunt Blanche at Geneva,
20:42and she's giving Phyllis her Swiss chateau for a wedding present.
20:45That's very interesting.
20:46Well, you can't go upstairs.
20:47And you and Phyllis can't marry until a week after you get to Geneva,
20:50because Aunt Blanche slipped on a ski and broke her ankle.
20:53But that makes it just gucky for us to leave for Geneva on Monday instead of Friday.
20:58And then I can have my dress fitted on Saturday.
21:00Isn't that perfectly rare?
21:01What?
21:02What's the matter with you, Algy?
21:04Well, nothing, nothing.
21:05Just a little chill.
21:07Oh!
21:08You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you drummin' dragging Algy-Algy round in that horrid old car of yours.
21:14You come right over here and let me make you all nice and coffee-wancy.
21:20Oh, sorry.
21:21Why don't you knock a lady down?
21:25That will come after we're married.
21:27Just a minute, young man.
21:29Where on earth have you been?
21:30Well, you see, the fog was pretty thick, darling.
21:34I thought you were bringing Colonel Nelson.
21:36Well, something came up the yard.
21:37He'll be right along.
21:38Well, let me see them.
21:40Them?
21:41The rings.
21:42Oh, yes, the rings, of course.
21:44Well, you haven't lost them.
21:47No, darling, no, I...
21:48Well, men always do.
21:49I haven't lost them because I remember perfectly well that I put them in my pocket, so...
21:53Ah, good work, Tenny.
21:54I rather like it so.
21:58And there you are, darling.
22:01You, it's beautiful.
22:04What, am I inexperienced?
22:05I did all right, huh?
22:06You still have time to back out, you know.
22:09What do you mean, back out?
22:10Well, we put these on and say, I do.
22:13It's the end of your adventuring.
22:15No more mysteries.
22:16No more dangers.
22:17Just home and fireside.
22:19Yes, but darling...
22:20You promised.
22:21Yes, I did, didn't I?
22:23But, well...
22:24Well, all right, darling.
22:26You have my word.
22:27The old life is over.
22:28Done with forever.
22:31There.
22:32Isn't that perfect?
22:33Oh, it's lovely.
22:39There...
22:40There's a hand!
22:41A hand?
22:48It's all right, dear.
22:49Tenny!
22:50You're lying.
22:51You too, old boy.
22:56Get it!
22:57I found it!
22:59I found it!
23:00I found it!
23:01I found it!
23:06You!
23:08I'm sorry, old boy.
23:09Ouchie!
23:12Darling, did I hurt you?
23:14No, sweetheart.
23:15It was nothing.
23:18Did he get away?
23:19Who?
23:20I don't know!
23:21The...
23:24Luke!
23:25You!
23:26You!
23:27It's gone!
23:28What's gone?
23:29The suitcase!
23:30What suitcase?
23:31Well, a...
23:32Tennis suitcase!
23:33Tennis suitcase?
23:34Yes, miss.
23:35My suitcase.
23:36But why should anyone steal a tennis suitcase?
23:38In the name of my sainted aunt.
23:39What's been going on here?
23:40I don't know.
23:41Something's happening.
23:42No.
23:43Hugh!
23:44What'll I do when...
23:45Take upstairs, Alty?
23:46Right-o.
23:47Hang on, my pet.
23:48Now, you'd better go, too, dear.
23:50Just a moment, Hugh Drummond.
23:51Are you mixed up in something again?
23:53No, Phyllis, if you'll just give me...
23:54Is this a sample of what our married life's going to be?
23:56No, no, darling, it isn't.
23:57I've made a promise and I'm going to keep it.
23:59I can.
24:00But I've simply got to talk to Colonel Neusson alone.
24:03Please.
24:04I give up.
24:06Hmm.
24:07Smart girl.
24:08I did that a long time ago.
24:09Colonel.
24:10But what is it this time?
24:12Murder.
24:13Uh...
24:14Mr. Bobby, of course.
24:15About ten miles from here.
24:16In what remains of an aeroplane.
24:18Hugh!
24:19Phyllis told me to tell you.
24:20Later, Alty.
24:21Later.
24:22In an aeroplane, you say?
24:23Sir John Haxton's.
24:24It crashed?
24:25It not only crashed, Colonel, it exploded.
24:27It, uh, was an accident, Hugh.
24:30Yes, but Colonel...
24:31Sir John had a suitcase containing haxanite.
24:33A powerful explosive.
24:39Treacherous stuff.
24:40So much so, in fact, that a slightest jar.
24:42At times, it set it off.
24:44That's what exploded.
24:45It, it was, it was in a suitcase.
24:48Hmm.
24:51What's the matter with you idiots?
24:53We, we, we had that suitcase here.
24:55Here?
24:56We were tossing it around like a football.
24:58Where is it now, man?
24:59Where is it now?
25:00It was stolen about a minute before you arrived.
25:08Hello.
25:09Hello.
25:10An escorting yard, please.
25:12Clear the wire and get them.
25:14This is Colonel Nielsen speaking.
25:16I was rocking them large.
25:18Colonel.
25:19Huh?
25:20Whose initials are D.N.?
25:21D.N.
25:22D.N.
25:23Drobando Gaye, Saxton's secretary.
25:24Was he with Sir John?
25:25Yes.
25:26Well, then he did it.
25:27Here, look at this.
25:35Take it easy.
25:36Do you want this stuff to blow up?
25:37What time is it?
25:40Seven o'clock.
25:43I owe Drummond something for this.
25:45So to make it appear that he had been killed too,
25:47Nogayes put his ring on this, wherever he got it,
25:49and then bailed out in a chute after he had dumped the Hexonite overboard.
25:53For once, I think you're right.
25:54Colonel.
25:55Huh?
25:56Nogayes has some on his cheek, which I gave him during our fight.
25:58Hello?
26:01Hello?
26:02Nielsen speaking.
26:03Put your little Jennings right away, please.
26:05Elsie, Elsie!
26:06There's not a word, Elsie.
26:07Do you hear me?
26:08Hello.
26:09I'll put this in your little pocket.
26:10Hello.
26:11Hello, Jennings.
26:12Got out an order for the arrest of Drobando Gayes right away, please.
26:15Did you tell him?
26:17I forgot.
26:18Forgot what, Elsie?
26:20You, old boy.
26:21Well, Elsie, out with it.
26:23She just told me to tell you that...
26:25Well, there you are, darling.
26:26What's the matter?
26:28I...
26:29I've changed my mind.
26:30You've what?
26:31I thought it over, and I...
26:34She's not going to marry you.
26:36That's what she told me to tell you.
26:38Now we can't go to Geneva.
26:43Darling, you're joking.
26:44I'm not.
26:45But why, Phyllis?
26:46Why?
26:47It's been just one thing after another since the day we met.
26:50Darling, that's all over.
26:51Oh, no, it isn't.
26:52Well, on...
26:53On the very night we leave to get married,
26:55the lights go out, and...
26:57and there's a fight, and...
26:58and suitcases disappear.
26:59Oh, Phyllis, please.
27:00I want a home, and...
27:02and not so much excitement.
27:03Now, sweetheart, if you...
27:04If you suddenly come up, Phyllis,
27:05I've got to go.
27:06See you in Geneva next week.
27:07That's fine.
27:08What are you crying about?
27:09The heart's broken, that's what.
27:11Oh!
27:17You!
27:18You!
27:19What'll I do?
27:20What?
27:21What?
27:22Tenny!
27:23Coming, sir!
27:30Gwen.
27:31Gwen, my pet.
27:33Here, darling.
27:34Yes.
27:35There you are.
27:36That's fine.
27:37Thank you, Tenny.
27:38Phyllis, you didn't mean it, did you?
27:40Oh, I suppose not.
27:42But I warn you.
27:43If anything happens...
27:44Nothing will happen, dear.
27:45How could it?
27:46Oh, darling.
27:47You!
27:48Oh, later, Elsie.
27:49I'm busy.
27:50Tenny!
27:51Coming, sir.
27:52Well, hurry, hurry.
27:53Oh.
27:54Oh.
27:59Oh.
28:00Oh.
28:14And I think it's just doing perfectly thrilling to be traveling on the train ferry all the
28:25way to Paris without getting off the train, don't you?
28:27When Algie and I went to Paris, they didn't have a train ferry, didn't they, Algie, Algie?
28:31And you know, we've got all about having to get off the train at Dover to get on the
28:34boat, and we went wild to sleep.
28:36Well, we simply had to tear into our clothes, and you know what?
28:39What?
28:40Oh, silly.
28:41Algie's feet started hurting him, and it wasn't until the boat stopped at Kelly that
28:45he found he had his right foot and his left shoe.
28:47That's the funniest thing I ever saw.
28:54Porter.
28:55Yes, sir?
28:56These orchids and this luggage were to go to Miss Clevering's compartment, number one,
29:00forward.
29:01I'm sorry, sir.
29:02Please get it right, Mr. Stone.
29:03Right you are, sir.
29:04I'll tip you with Dover.
29:06Thank you, sir.
29:09I beg your pardon.
29:10Terry.
29:11Yes, Mr. Longworth.
29:12Look.
29:13An alarm clock.
29:14Set for two o'clock in the morning.
29:15But why, sir?
29:16To wake him up.
29:17To wake Captain Drummond up, sir.
29:18When they did it to me, I almost jumped out of my pyjamas.
29:21Well, it's a joke, don't you see?
29:22Not very clearly, sir.
29:23It's supposed to be funny.
29:24If you insist, sir.
29:25Ha, ha.
29:26Excuse me, sir.
29:27Excuse me, sir.
29:28Ha, ha, ha.
29:29Ha, ha, ha, ha.
29:46Why, I beg your...
30:03I beg your pardon.
30:06May I pass, please?
30:08Yes, of course.
30:16Oh, and don't forget that little gown shopper.
30:45I told you about in Geneva.
30:47Oh, no, it is in Geneva.
30:48It's in Paris.
30:49I think.
30:50Oh, well, I don't remember exactly, but it's either one or the other.
30:52I know because I've been there.
30:54The train's ready to start.
30:56Oh, is it?
30:57Oh, well, goodbye, dear.
30:58And I know you're going to have a thrilling time.
31:02Goodbye, Gwen.
31:03Goodbye.
31:04Goodbye, you.
31:05Goodbye, Gwen.
31:06Goodbye.
31:07Algie!
31:11Algie, Algie!
31:13Oh!
31:14Oh!
31:15Oh!
31:16Number seven, sir.
31:17Your apartment's being arranged, hasn't it?
31:30Why, I beg your pardon.
31:33Good evening.
31:34Oh.
31:35I'm an inspector.
31:36And I came in here to, to inspect.
31:39Good night.
31:40It started, hasn't it?
31:41Right you are, sir.
31:42Oh.
31:43Ticket, please.
31:44Yes.
31:45Ticket.
31:46If you please, sir.
31:47Oh, yes, yes.
31:48Well, I haven't any.
31:49Then I'll have to sell you one, I'm afraid.
31:50Uh, space?
31:51Compartment 11, this car.
31:52Straight through, sir, or to Dover only?
31:53I can phone Grenade Dover, can't I?
31:54Oh, yes.
31:55I should think so.
31:56Oh, all right.
31:57That horseface friend of Drummond was on the train.
31:58Drummond is still in the compartment next to mine.
32:00Do you think they're on to us?
32:01Horseface, as you call them, is on to you.
32:03I call them snooping.
32:04I call them snooping.
32:05I call them snooping.
32:06I call them snooping.
32:07I call them snooping, if you please, sir.
32:08Oh, yes, yes.
32:09Well, I haven't any.
32:10Then I'll have to sell you one, I'm afraid.
32:11Uh, space?
32:12Compartment 11, this car.
32:13Straight through, sir, or to Dover only?
32:14I can phone Grenade Dover, can't I?
32:15Oh, yes.
32:16I should think, sir.
32:17Oh, all right.
32:18That horseface friend of Drummond was on the train.
32:20Drummond is still in the compartment next to mine.
32:22Do you think they're on to us?
32:23Horseface, as you call them, is on to you.
32:25I call them snooping.
32:29Algie!
32:30Algie!
32:31You?
32:32It's on the train.
32:33It's on the train?
32:34Yes, what are we going to do?
32:35What are you talking about, Algie?
32:36What's on the train?
32:37The suitcase.
32:38So, the suitcase is on the train.
32:39How do you know?
32:40I saw him.
32:41Saw whom?
32:42No gaze?
32:43The man with the scratches.
32:44I might have known it.
32:45Wait a moment, darling.
32:46If what Algie says is the truth, we're in danger.
32:47The whole train's in danger.
32:48Well, Ken Nielsen warned me.
32:49It's my own fault.
32:50Proceed once.
32:51Well, I got on the train.
32:52But I didn't want to get on the train when the train was going.
32:53Because no one tells you to stick to the man with the scratches.
32:55It's all right for you not to worry.
32:56They don't know you.
32:57You're safe.
32:58Especially in that getup you're wearing.
33:00But what about me?
33:02These scratches have got me pegged.
33:04Why, if they find out you weren't killed in Axton's plane,
33:08Drummond will probably think I'm you.
33:10That is possible, isn't it?
33:12Sure puts me in a spot.
33:15Half a million almost in our hands and this had to happen.
33:20You know, my friend, you have given me an idea.
33:24What?
33:25Did you hear something?
33:28I don't hear it.
33:33You, this isn't your affair.
33:38Darling, it is my affair.
33:40I told you what Ken Nielsen said.
33:41There's more at stake than just our lives.
33:43Our lives aren't important.
33:44Naturally, they are.
33:45But don't you understand?
33:46Somebody's got to see it through.
33:47Your mind's made up?
33:48Of course.
33:49All right, then.
33:50I'm in on it, too.
33:51I'll go to my compartment.
33:52And you'll stay right here until we get to Dover.
33:54I'll do nothing unless...
33:55Right in this room.
33:56I'll do nothing unless...
33:57Right in this room.
33:59No.
34:01Right in here...
34:04No.
34:05No.
34:08No, no, no.
34:12No, no.
34:14No, no.
34:15No.
34:16No, no, no, no.
34:17No.
34:19No, no.
34:50Your guns, sir.
34:55You brought them along.
34:56Just in case, sir.
34:57An excellent idea, Tinney.
34:59I thought you might like it, sir.
35:00One for you, sir.
35:02But what about yourself?
35:03It's all there are, sir.
35:04There are all to be more.
35:05Then you better stay here.
35:07Very good.
35:07Well, if I don't see you again, goodbye.
35:10It's been so nice knowing you.
35:11Relax, darling, relax.
35:13Come on, Alty.
35:15We're going into conference with Mr. Travenno Gaius.
35:20He doesn't appear to be in.
35:37Lock the door, Alty.
35:43She resigned.
35:44Well, the game was up, Alty.
35:47He couldn't take it.
35:59Be careful.
36:00There may be hexade in there.
36:02Is that it?
36:16That's it, Alty.
36:17Well, what are you going to do?
36:18I want it over to the authorities at Dover, I hope.
36:26Okay.
36:26Alty, do you smell perfume?
36:39Yes.
36:40That's odd, don't you think?
36:41I've smelled worse.
36:42I mean, for a man to use perfume.
36:43I wasn't you a chap.
36:44Alty!
36:45What?
36:46Perhaps this isn't suicide.
36:48You mean a woman?
36:50Why not?
36:51Did she use the perfume we smell in here?
36:57You mean the woman who found me in there?
36:59Who else did you think I meant?
37:00I don't know.
37:01Why, did she?
37:02I just told you.
37:03You just told me what?
37:04I don't know.
37:06We'll soon find out.
37:07How?
37:08By knocking politely on her door.
37:10She won't like it.
37:11But if somebody kills her, she still won't like it.
37:13You made a promise in case you forgot them.
37:16You're right, Alty.
37:17We'll hang on to this until we get to Dover.
37:19And then forget it, eh?
37:20Right.
37:38What's the matter?
37:39I'm jumping.
37:40Relax, darling.
37:41Relax.
37:42If, well, if someone did kill no guess,
37:45and they find out that you have that bag...
37:46Nothing's going to happen.
37:48I, I hope you're all right.
37:49But I think the chances are against it.
37:52But oh!
37:54Well, Algy?
37:55The conductor says that is the telephone on the ferry.
37:57I'll phone when the minute we get to Dover.
37:59Algy.
38:00What, huh?
38:01You were going through the train to see if you could find the woman who had the compartment next to no guess.
38:04And if you did find her, to see if she used the perfume we smelled in his compartment, remember?
38:10I do, now.
38:13I give up.
38:14I wish you'd make up your mind.
38:15One minute you're through, and the next you're...
38:17Well, you're trying to make some innocent woman a criminal.
38:20We don't know that she isn't.
38:21We don't know that she is.
38:22I think she could be.
38:23So could I.
38:24Why pick on her?
38:25Isn't it strange they have adjoining compartments?
38:27Oh, I suppose so.
38:29I don't know.
38:31Come in.
38:33Here you are, sir.
38:34Finished, honey.
38:35Thank you, sir.
38:37All right, darling.
38:38I'll give you a...
38:39Well, I think I'll...
38:41Careful, help!
38:42Excuse me, sir.
38:46I'll give her a hundred pounds to know if she is the one.
38:56I've simply got to find out.
38:58You, Drummond, if you leave here, I'll take the next train back to London.
39:00I...
39:01Oh, I'm so nervous from looking at that bag, I can scream.
39:04Hey, sweetheart.
39:05But you promised.
39:08Only you're right, sweet.
39:09I'm a dog.
39:09A mean, contemptible dog.
39:11You're not.
39:12Oh, yes, I am.
39:13Darling, I should know.
39:14I won't have you talk like that.
39:16There, there, sweetheart.
39:17This time I will forget it.
39:18We'll let the authorities handle it when we get to Dover, huh?
39:42Over there, Carl Newton.
39:44Rain cutting.
39:45Hey!
39:46I won't have you talk like that.
39:47I won't have you talk like that.
39:48I won't have you talk like that.
39:49I won't have you talk like that.
39:50I won't have you talk like that.
39:51I won't have you talk like that.
39:52I won't have you talk like that.
39:53I won't have you talk like that.
39:54I won't have you talk like that.
39:55I won't have you talk like that.
39:56I won't have you talk like that.
39:57I won't have you talk like that.
39:58I won't have you talk like that.
39:59I won't have you talk like that.
40:00I won't have you talk like that.
40:01I won't have you talk like that.
40:02I won't have you talk like that.
40:03I won't have you talk like that.
40:04I won't have you talk like that.
40:05I won't have you talk like that.
40:06Yes, I know, but we're here.
40:34More than I ever expected.
40:36Well, goodbye, Phyllis, goodbye to you.
40:37I've got to make a dash with the telephone.
40:38I've got to make a dash for the salon with Phyllis.
40:40It's you.
40:41I've got to let Gwen know that I'm all right.
40:43I know, old Phyllis, but until the police get here
40:45and we wind this thing up, you've got to take care of Phyllis.
40:47You ready, darling?
40:48I'm beginning to live again now that we're rarely here.
40:50That's the spirit.
40:55I beg your pardon, fellow.
40:56Tenny, you stay here and keep your eye on that bag until we get back.
40:58Alone, sir?
40:59Alone.
41:00Come on, darling.
41:01Well, don't you think I want Elsie to own?
41:04Oh, well, I'm fine.
41:10Couldn't you help me back this way?
41:11There's always over here, Elsie.
41:12There's always over here, Elsie.
41:21You need to in the salon, dear.
41:22Stay right with her, Elsie.
41:23When can I phone Gwen?
41:24Later, Elsie, later.
41:26There's always over here.
41:27Oh, I can't lose you, can I?
41:55I want to see you, Nogaius is on the train.
41:57Are you certain?
41:57As certain as I am of the fact that someone killed him.
41:59What?
42:00Some woman's my guess.
42:01Assume you'll come to know all this?
42:03Is he on the train?
42:03Supposed to be.
42:04Apartment 5, car 9.
42:06I haven't seen him.
42:07Have you told anybody else what's happened?
42:08No, I thought it best to keep my mouth shut.
42:10That's usually ahead for once.
42:12Let's go below.
42:15Where is he?
42:16Why doesn't he come?
42:17Why ask me?
42:17I'm only his fiancée.
42:25Close the door.
42:37It's a blow at the base of the brain.
42:39Nogaius, of course.
42:40I'm not so certain.
42:42What was that you said about a woman?
42:43You smell jasmine in here?
42:45Yes.
42:45It was in Nogaius' compartment, too.
42:47Kanda didn't say anything about a woman being.
42:51You know, you don't belong in this, you.
42:53But I am in it.
42:54I know.
42:56I may as well tell you, I suppose.
42:57You drag it out of me anyway, if I don't.
42:59Tumi Okanda telephoned me at the yard about 9.35.
43:02It's too late for me to catch the train.
43:04He just received word that Yusuf Merkal,
43:07suspected on the continent of dealing in war secrets,
43:09was coming aboard when we docked at Dunkirk.
43:12It indicates that he was to meet Nogaius
43:13and make a deal for the Haxanite.
43:15Certainly.
43:16And who's the woman?
43:18You tell me.
43:19Where's Nogaius?
43:20In my car.
43:21You know, you certainly have a way
43:23of stumbling into things that don't concern you.
43:26It's a gift, Kennell.
43:27I don't doubt it.
43:44This isn't Nogaius.
43:45It isn't Nogaius?
43:46Well, the Gaius is dark.
43:47I must light a bill.
43:49You know the answer to this, don't you?
43:50Of course.
43:51This fellow, whoever he is, was in with Nogaius
43:52and evidently disagreed about something.
43:54If we make a detective of you, yes.
43:57Colonel.
43:58Well, pal.
43:58You say Nogaius is of slighter build?
44:00Yes.
44:00Then I've got it.
44:01The woman who killed Sumi Okanda and this fellow
44:03is Nogaius disguised as a woman.
44:05I think you've got something there.
44:06I'll make a bet.
44:07Wait a minute.
44:08You say you have the Haxanite?
44:09Yes, my compartment.
44:11Tell me later.
44:11All right, Sonny, open up.
44:23Anything happen?
44:24Not yet.
44:25Close the door.
44:31Easy.
44:32If that run off, it'll lift this boat out of a channel.
44:34There it is.
44:39That is the Haxanite.
44:41What?
44:45Bath salts.
44:48That means Nogaius is on the train
44:50and has the real Haxanite.
44:51Captain Drummond.
44:52Yes, Tenny.
44:52May I retire, Sonny?
44:54Yes, go to bed.
44:54Good night, sir.
44:55Good night, Tenny.
44:56I want to look in that next compartment.
44:58Why was in there?
44:59A woman.
45:00Algie saw.
45:01And if she uses the perfume
45:02we smell in the compartment adjoining hers,
45:03she's Nogaius.
45:05Have you seen this, ma'am?
45:06No, confound it.
45:06But we're going to right now
45:07if she's in there.
45:24I knew it, Jasmine.
45:27We're still burning.
45:29Nogaius just left here.
45:30We're under way.
45:32He must still be on the ship.
45:47Someone on the boat, probably.
45:52Just a moment, Colonel.
45:53Come on.
46:01Tenny.
46:02Tenny.
46:03Tenny.
46:04Coming, Sonny.
46:07Get into my compartment.
46:08If anyone enters the one next to it,
46:09come and get me.
46:10Well, I find you, sir.
46:11Somewhere on the ship
46:12we're going to search it.
46:13Come on, Colonel.
46:14Whose case is this?
46:16Yours or mine?
46:16Come on.
46:16Come on.
46:16Come on.
46:23Mr. Longworth.
46:44Here I am, boy.
46:44Here I am.
46:45A radiogram, sir.
46:47Thank you, sir.
46:50What is it this time?
46:53If you love me,
46:54you would have answered
46:55my telegram you received
46:56on the train.
46:57She thinks I don't love her.
46:59But if you weren't on the train,
47:00you couldn't have received it.
47:02And if you're not on the boat,
47:03you won't have to answer
47:04this one either
47:04because if you're not on the boat,
47:07you won't get it.
47:08Nothing else?
47:10Please answer.
47:11Well, you could send her
47:12a radiogram.
47:13I'll tell you right now.
47:14You can't.
47:14We're underway.
47:15Underway?
47:17Oh.
47:19Hugh, we're underway.
47:21What am I going to do?
47:21They're coming with me
47:22to help find Noguius.
47:23But he's dead.
47:24Ah, that was someone else.
47:25Noguius is the woman
47:25you saw in the next compartment.
47:27Now, you're the only one
47:28that knows what she looks...
47:29what he looks like.
47:30But I don't see...
47:30Remember me, Captain Drummond?
47:32Darling, I'm sorry.
47:32I've kept you waiting.
47:33The stuff that we thought
47:34was haxanite
47:35is only bath salt.
47:36And Noguius is on the boat
47:37with the rail staff.
47:37Enough to blow us
47:38all to eternity.
47:39How nice.
47:40We won't be long.
47:40You stay here and relax.
47:41Well, can't I go
47:42to my compartment?
47:43I should say not.
47:43Well, then to your compartment.
47:44Well, you stay right here
47:45while you're safe.
47:46And to think,
47:47I'm marrying you.
47:49Sorry, sweetheart,
47:49but we've got to find him.
47:50Come on, Elsie.
47:55Goodbye.
48:05We can have another look
48:06around, Colonel,
48:07but we've made a thorough search.
48:09Are you certain you'd know her?
48:10Well, of course.
48:10He was wearing a...
48:11I mean, she was...
48:12No, he was wearing...
48:13Never mind, Elsie.
48:14And now, can I send
48:14Gwen a radiogram?
48:15Yes, go ahead.
48:17When he comes back,
48:17we'll look again.
48:18As you wish, sir.
48:19Meantime, I think
48:19I'll say hello to Phyllis.
48:24Nice, smooth crossing, madam.
48:26Yes, very smooth.
48:27Here, put this in, too.
48:39All right, close it
48:40and put it up there.
48:48Come on.
48:48Darling, I thought I told you
49:12not to.
49:12Put up your hands.
49:13Turn around.
49:14Sit down, Captain Drummond.
49:20You too, miss.
49:24It seems you have
49:25the advantage.
49:25But definitely.
49:27You may lower your hands.
49:30I believe it's
49:31customary to ask me
49:31I smoke, isn't it?
49:32I trust you have
49:33better judgment
49:34than to attempt
49:35anything foolish.
49:36I assure you, sir,
49:37my judgment is excellent.
49:39It's too bad you didn't
49:39take the brown suit.
49:40That gray doesn't
49:41become help.
49:42I like it.
49:42May I inquire
49:43what you intend to do?
49:45Under different
49:46circumstances,
49:47you and I could
49:47work well together,
49:48Drummond.
49:49You honor me, sir.
49:51Hmph!
50:03You!
50:04Are you there?
50:05Just a moment, Alty.
50:06You sit there, miss.
50:07I'll be watching her,
50:08Drummond.
50:09If you're smart,
50:09you'll act as if
50:10nothing is wrong.
50:11Let him in.
50:12I know.
50:13Smile, darling.
50:13Your gentleman
50:13means business.
50:17What's the trouble?
50:17Trouble, Alty?
50:18You said you were
50:19coming back.
50:19Colonel Nielsen's
50:20been waiting for you.
50:20I'll tell you
50:21how I feel about it, Alty.
50:22I'm fed up with
50:23this nonsense
50:23about Nogueas
50:24and Haxton.
50:25We'll let Nielsen
50:25handle it.
50:26You're not sick,
50:27are you, old boy?
50:27No, Alty, but
50:28after all, it is
50:29the Colonel's business,
50:29not mine.
50:30Now, will you run
50:31along like a good fellow?
50:32Oh, this isn't
50:33like you, Hugh.
50:33One must reform
50:34sometime, Alty,
50:35and even as you
50:36pointed out,
50:37I have made
50:37Phyllis a promise.
50:38But what?
50:39A promise, Alty.
50:42Oh, right-o.
50:43Well, cheerio.
50:44Pip-pip.
50:45Pip-pip, old girl.
50:46Good night, Alty.
50:51Put up your hands.
50:52Get his gun, Kenny.
50:53Alty!
50:55Why, who is this?
50:56Get my gun in his pocket.
50:57Oh.
51:00Now, get Colonel Nielsen.
51:01But don't you think
51:01that's...
51:01Don't argue, get him.
51:05And now,
51:05you have the advantage.
51:07What, definitely?
51:08Won't you sit down
51:09and lower your hands?
51:14And to quote you,
51:15may I smoke?
51:16And to quote you,
51:17I trust you have
51:18better judgment
51:19than to attempt
51:20anything foolish.
51:22When one loses,
51:23one loses.
51:25That sounds original.
51:28May I trouble you
51:29for that bag?
51:32Sure.
51:33Careful,
51:35the Hexonite.
51:39Look out, sir.
51:40He's gone.
51:42Stay here, fellas.
51:43You too, Kenny.
51:44There he goes.
52:05You!
52:06Look out, he makes you.
52:14He hasn't got a gun.
52:19You got a gun?
52:20No.
52:21Give him yours, Aldi.
52:22But then I was...
52:23What did I tell you?
52:24Yes, but...
52:25You take that.
52:26Well, I'll take the last.
52:27We search every car.
52:28You stay there and watch the door, Aldi.
52:29Oh.
52:40Joe!
52:41Come to the office!
52:42Come back!
52:43Get out of here!
52:45He's on top of that car!
52:46Be careful!
52:47Behind you!
52:50Stay where you are, I guess.
52:51The game's up.
52:52Yes.
52:53For all of us.
52:59Go ahead, Aldi.
53:04Aldi.
53:05I killed him.
53:06I killed him.
53:07Come on.
53:09Tick!
53:10Go!
53:11You're feeling better?
53:12Hugh, I want to ask you something.
53:13Yes, darling.
53:14Come in.
53:15Will it be awful?
53:16Yes, darling.
53:17Good night.
53:18Good night, sir.
53:19Good night.
53:20Good night.
53:21Good night.
53:22What do you want to say?
53:23Do you really mean...
53:24Come in.
53:25Sorry to leave you, Hugh.
53:26I'm escorting our friend Nogueas to Paris.
53:27So what?
53:28If I'm not at Geneva for the wedding, you'll understand.
53:32Try to be there, Captain.
53:33You know I will.
53:34Goodbye, Phyllis.
53:35Don't scold him too much.
53:36And don't try to reform him.
53:37It's impossible.
53:38Good work, old man.
53:39Good work, old man.
53:40Thanks, Colonel.
53:41And now, darling.
53:42Do you really mean to...
53:43That will be auntie.
53:44Come in.
53:45Come in.
53:46Come in.
53:47Sorry to leave you, Hugh.
53:48I'm escorting our friend Nogueas to Paris.
53:49So what?
53:50If I'm not at Geneva for the wedding, you'll understand.
53:51Try to be there, Captain.
53:52You know I will.
53:53Goodbye, Phyllis.
53:54Don't scold him too much.
53:55And don't try to reform him.
53:56It's impossible.
53:57Good work, old man.
53:58Thanks, Colonel.
53:59And now, darling.
54:00Do you really mean to...
54:02That will be auntie.
54:05Come in.
54:06You?
54:07Gwen's taking the plane to Paris.
54:08I'm going to see her tomorrow.
54:10It's fine, auntie.
54:11Now, good night, old chap.
54:12Phyllis is trying to tell me something.
54:14Oh, yes, yes, of course.
54:15Right-o.
54:20All right, now.
54:23Do I really mean...
54:24To give up this highly exciting way of living?
54:26Why, yes, dear.
54:27Of course.
54:28I promised.
54:29It isn't necessary.
54:30Why?
54:31Because, well, as Denny says, I rather like it, sir.
54:34Darling.
54:58Let's do it.
55:00I'm sorry, Michael.
55:02I'm sorry.
55:03I'm sorry.
55:04I'm sorry.
55:05I'm sorry.
55:06I'm sorry.
55:08It's a great deal.
55:09But, uh, my mother.
55:10I'm sorry.
55:11You're in love.
55:12Yeah, you're done.
55:13Wait a minute.
55:14There so that's someone else.
55:16I'm sorry.
55:18I'm sorry.
55:19I'm sorry.
55:20You're done.
55:21You're done.
55:22Oh, my mother.
55:23I'm sorry.
55:24I'm sorry.
