00:00The End
00:30Stop chasing that train, you, 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.
01:04Well, it's 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?
01:11Well, what 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, you, 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.
01:32Oh, of a 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...
01:41Oh, did I have forgotten where I wanted to go?
01:43This is Rockingham, sir.
01:44Rockingham?
01:45Oh, yes, quite so.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Rockingham Tower.
01:48There are a residence.
01:49Oh, yes.
01:50Oh, yes.
01:51Oh, yes.
01:52Oh, yes.
01:53Oh, yes.
01:54Oh, yes.
01:55Oh, yes.
01:56Oh, yes.
01:57Oh, yes.
01:58Oh, yes.
01:59Oh, yes.
02:00Oh, yes.
02:01Oh, yes.
02:02Oh, yes.
02:03Quite so.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Rockingham Tower.
02:06The residence of Captain Drummond.
02:07Go 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.
02:23Yes.
02:24Quite so.
02:25Oh, yes.
02:27Yes.
02:28Roll the wall for the time of year, don't you think?
02:29Hey.
02:30It's warm, all right, but it's August, you know.
02:31August?
02:32My calendar said January.
02:34Ha, ha, ha.
02:35I must have forgotten to turn it.
02:37Ha, ha.
02:38Thank you so much.
02:39Up the room and roll.
02:40Follow the furniture vans.
02:41Captain Drummond.
02:42Why?
02:51How are you, Tenny?
02:52Thank you, miss.
02:53Miss Annalsy?
02:54Captain Drummond?
02:55Oh, Tenny.
02:56I'll put these in water, if I may.
02:57I'll think they're in the car, Tenny.
02:58I'll see to them, miss.
02:59Your rooms are in the east wing.
03:01The towel will be ready by dinner time, sir.
03:03Good, Tenny.
03:04And tomorrow?
03:05I've made all arrangements, sir.
03:06Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
03:08And it's the last chance you'll have if I have anything to say about it, you Drummond.
03:12You hear that, Tenny?
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?
03:24Bosh!
03:25Spent half my time here when I was a girl.
03:27Coming through this?
03:28Presently, Aunt Blanche.
03:30I'm afraid Auntie doesn't like us.
03:32But I do.
03:34That will be Mr. Longworth, sir.
03:36Yes, making himself useful again.
03:38I'm afraid so, sir.
03:40Aunt yourself?
03:41I don't know, old boy.
03:43The way you saved that bosh is remarkable.
03:47Quite acrobatic.
03:48What?
03:49Yes.
03:50Hello, old boy.
03:51The sparkle in those eyes can mean only one thing.
03:54Happiness.
03:56Scotland 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.
04:04I never broke it.
04:05It's lucky for you, Algie.
04:06That's a genuine Ming worth 200 pounds.
04:08200 pounds?
04:09I'd better put it right up.
04:13Oh.
04:18It was worth 200 pounds, old boy.
04:22This way, Mr. Bolton.
04:24Mr. 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.
04:41Oh, that came only this morning.
04:43Because 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 the...
04:55Quite so.
04:56You'll see that those roses are put in Miss Clavering's room.
04:59Yes, sir.
05:00Your bolton, the new butler?
05:01Shastra's agency sent me down, Mr. Tennyson.
05:03No.
05:07Been in some nice families.
05:08Oh, yes, sir.
05:09The very best.
05:10Yes, you'll begin your duties at once.
05:12Mrs. Thomas will show you at your quarters.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:15Mm.
05:16State papers of Roger Bacon.
05:31Oh, how frightfully interesting.
05:34I wonder what addition it is.
05:37Oh.
05:38Excuse us, sir.
05:40Oh, that's quite all right.
05:42Go, go right ahead.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:50Wait.
05:52Pardon me, but...
05:53Is there something you want, sir?
05:55Oh, no, no, no.
05:57Nothing at all, no, no.
05:58Oh, is that my tea?
06:01Well, just put it somewhere.
06:03Somewhere.
06:04Pardon me, sir, but this is Captain Drummond's tea.
06:07Oh, 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.
06:18I came to see him, didn't I?
06:19Oh, just a moment, please.
06:24Ah.
06:28Would he be so good as a teller mine here?
06:30Very good, sir.
06:31You'll wait here, sir?
06:33Oh, yes, you.
06:34Yes, yes, yes, yes.
06:35I'll wait here.
06:39Come in.
06:40That's odd.
06:41I distinctly heard a knock.
06:42These things have no fixed value.
06:43Only one of collectors willing to pay for them.
06:44Splendid.
06:45Oh, come on.
06:46Gentlemen, to see you, sir.
06:47Oh.
06:48Professor Downey, Research Department, Museum of Historical Documents.
06:49Downey?
06:50What's he doing here?
06:51Well, do you know him, Colonel?
06:52Well, I've met him.
06:53In Scotland Yard?
06:54You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
07:12I like that.
07:13I see him about you, Hugh.
07:16He's a quaint old bird.
07:17Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:19I'll sew him in, Tanning.
07:20Very good.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Good as new, almost.
07:23That makes me feel much better.
07:24I'm so glad of that.
07:25Just let it dry for a few hours, will you?
07:26Oh, put it where it will be safe.
07:27Be careful, lousy.
07:28Not twice, Hugh.
07:29Oh.
07:30Oh.
07:31Oh.
07:32Oh.
07:33Oh.
07:34Professor Downey.
07:35Excuse me, did you break something?
07:38Professor Downey, I'm Hugh Drummond.
07:40You're just in time for tea.
07:42Oh.
07:43Oh.
07:44Oh.
07:45Oh.
07:46Oh.
07:47Oh.
07:48Oh.
07:49Oh.
07:50Oh.
07:51Oh.
07:52Oh.
07:53Oh.
07:54Oh.
07:55Oh.
07:56Oh.
07:57Oh.
07:58Oh.
07:59I just had some tea out there.
08:00Oh.
08:01I see you've got some more here.
08:02How jolly.
08:03This is Algie Longworth.
08:05Longworth.
08:06Anglo-Norman name.
08:0711th century.
08:08How do you do?
08:09How do you do?
08:10Won't you come and meet my friends, Professor?
08:13Oh.
08:14Oh.
08:15I'd be delighted.
08:16Phyllis, may I present Professor Downey, Miss Clavering.
08:19Charmed here.
08:20And Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
08:22How are you?
08:23Oh.
08:24Phyllis, good.
08:25What part might I ask of Scotland?
08:26Excuse me.
08:27No, no, no, Professor.
08:28You misunderstand.
08:29Colonel Nielsen is 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.
08:39Tea, Professor?
08:40Oh, thanks.
08:41Nothing like a good cup of hot tea on a cold January day.
08:48Oh.
08:49Perhaps 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.
09:06Yes, 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 template 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.
09:31Henry 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.
09:50One of my ancestors, darling.
09:51There's a portrait of him in the long gallery.
09:52Uh, yes, we have a copy in the museum.
09:54Look rather a blackguard.
09:55A bit like you, uh, uh, uh, Captain Drummond.
09:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
10:03Wait, did I say something amusing?
10:04Not at all, Professor.
10:05Please go on.
10:06Uh, let 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.
10:24Did you hear that, darling?
10:25Right here in Rockingham.
10:26I might have known it.
10:27Uh, and now, uh, this is, uh, what, uh, Colonel Cooper says in his diary.
10:31Riding all day and all night, got safely to Rockingham with the King's treasure.
10:36Did you hear that, darling?
10:37I heard.
10:38My wound, very painful.
10:40Conceal all the treasure in the passages without a rousing 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.
10:55My, I 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.
11:07Then you haven't seen the places mentioned in this diary.
11:10Perhaps I didn't see them all.
11:12My father had the entrance to those passages walled up.
11:14Uh, where was the entrance?
11:16In one of the storerooms, I believe.
11:17Why, the one directly below this, as a matter of fact.
11:20Obviously, there's another set of passages.
11:23The diary describes them minutely.
11:26And where's the entrance to those passages, Professor?
11:29Unfortunately, Colonel, I cannot tell you yet.
11:32Good.
11:33You 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.
11:44And there it will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
11:49U-R-E-Z-Q-S-L-T-I-S.
11:54Sounds 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.
12:23Professor, I'm to be married tomorrow.
12:25And the treasure that becomes mine then is all that interests me.
12:29Bravo, darling.
12:30That's 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.
12:46Professor 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.
13:10Well, you might put it beside my bed.
13:12Very good, sir.
13:13Your elaborate indifference doesn't fool me a bit, Hugh Drummond.
13:17I know you're positively aching to tear Rocky into pieces stone by stone.
13:21Darling, a million pounds.
13:23Hugh, please, won't you tell him to...
13:36What 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.
14:00What prevented it five other times?
14:02Fires, murders, explosions, everything short of an earthquake.
14:06Don't worry, darling.
14:07Get married tomorrow.
14:09Where's the clergyman, Elsie?
14:10He'll be a long old boy.
14:11Don't get nervous.
14:12I thought everything was arranged.
14:13Don't worry, darling.
14:14It is.
14:15Cut it out, big boy.
14:16Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:20Bet you forgot the ring.
14:21Uh, quit to a jurorsenic.
14:22I haven't.
14:23I haven't.
14:24You.
14:25You.
14:26You.
14:27You.
14:28You.
14:29You really want to marry me, don't you?
14:30Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
14:32You.
14:33Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
14:35Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
14:51I.
14:52Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
14:57Oh, my God.
15:27You, 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.
15:57Tenny! Yes, sir? This place is going to blow up any minute. Get out while you have a chance.
16:11Tenny. Tenny!
16:13I tried to give satisfaction to him.
16:16Louder, Tenny! Louder!
16:17Louder!
16:17Oh, my God.
16:47Oh, my God.
17:17I'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 spook.
17:35You know, wedding or art of it, I am the best man.
17:38Come on.
17:40Come on.
17:41Come on.
17:42Come on.
17:43Come on.
17:49Here.
17:54Come on.
17:55Here.
17:56Come on.
18:24Captain Drummond!
18:26Captain Drummond!
18:27Help!
18:28Mr. Longworth!
18:29Colonel, help!
18:54Tenny, Tenny, what happened?
18:56We, we, we appear to have had a slight touch of nightmare, sir.
19:01There was no nightmare that hit me on the chin.
19:03Then it, it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
19:09Hey, open the door.
19:18Have you two been fighting?
19:19Fighting?
19:20Oh, no, sir.
19:21Choo!
19:22No, no, darling, there's nothing to worry about.
19:23I warned you, if we came down here, something would happen.
19:25What was it?
19:26Probably a second story man, Colonel, who thought Rockingham was still unoccupied.
19:29We rather got the worst of it, eh, Tenny?
19:31It could hardly be called a holiday, sir.
19:33Let's go after the Blackers, old boy.
19:35There was only one, Algie, only one.
19:37Only one?
19:38You mean you let one man knock you both down and then get away?
19:42Oh, dear, dear, dear, you're slipping, old thing.
19:44You too, Tenny.
19:45And we are humiliated, sir.
19:48Billis, you mark my words.
19:51He'll wriggle out of this wedding just as he did all the others.
19:54Well, that's hardly fair, Aunt Blanche.
19:56I was just reading Colonel Cooper's diary.
20:05It's gone.
20:06And so am I.
20:08Good night.
20:09Colonel, somebody beside Donny thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:12You didn't see his face?
20:13I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:15Afterwards, we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:17Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:20No.
20:21Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:22Then let's leave here now.
20:24We can be in London in an hour and...
20:29All right, darling.
20:30We'll do that very thing.
20:32Captain Drummond's room?
20:34Yes, Professor Donny.
20:36He wants to speak to you.
20:38Says it's urgent.
20:39Don't talk to him, Hugh.
20:40He's my house guest, darling.
20:42I must.
20:43All right.
20:44There, there, old girl.
20:45It's quite all right.
20:46Nothing's going to happen.
20:47Yes, Professor.
20:49Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:52He's six minutes late.
20:54You have?
20:57He's solved the cipher.
20:59Go on, Professor.
21:00Are you certain?
21:01Yes, yes, yes.
21:02I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
21:10Henry Seaton.
21:15Hello.
21:16Hello.
21:17Are you there?
21:19So you know where the treasure is, Professor Downey.
21:22Yes, Henry.
21:24Now I know why you tried to steal the Cooper Diary.
21:27You saved me a lot of work.
21:29Line's dead.
21:30I knew it.
21:31Tony!
21:32I have 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 together.
21:39Well, sweetheart.
21:40As long as that's the way it is.
21:42Tony, give me a pissy.
21:44Darling, 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.
21:59Stand back now.
22:02Maybe I'll do try it, Hugh.
22:03Yes, I'll show you how, old boy.
22:04Hold this wheel.
22:05Ow!
22:06Oh, now, darling.
22:07No nerves, old girl.
22:08No nerves.
22:09In heaven's name, Hugh Drone.
22:10Couldn't you wait until morning?
22:11What is it, sir?
22:12That's what we're trying to find out.
22:13Well, pardon me, sir.
22:14And if you'll pardon me, sir.
22:15Do you really intend to marry this lunatic?
22:17I'm doing my best.
22:18In heaven, protect your children.
22:19The first girl after you, Auntie.
22:20Well, well, well, well, well, well, I'll do this again.
22:22I'll do it.
22:23I'll do it.
22:24I'll do it, though.
22:25Oh, you know, great, sir.
22:26I'll save you for a minute.
22:27I'm now.
22:28You are sorry.
22:29Yeah.
22:30Oh, I won't.
22:31I'll do it.
22:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:34No.
22:35Oh, I have no, no.
22:36In heaven's name, Hugh Drone.
22:37And couldn't you wait until morning?
22:38What is it, sir?
22:39That's what we're trying to find out, point it.
22:45Oh, well, hurry up. I'm going to get back to sleep.
22:47Pardon me.
22:48Never mind, Danny.
22:50I follow you, sir.
23:08Hello.
23:09Rockingham Police Station.
23:11This is Colonel Nielsen from Scotland Yard.
23:14A man who's been killed at Rockingham...
23:16No, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute.
23:18Not the lodge. Rockingham Tower.
23:20Notify the coroner and send a detail of police over here to patrol the grounds.
23:25Yes. Have them report to me personally.
23:28I'll explain when they arrive.
23:29Colonel.
23:30Hold the line, wait a minute.
23:31What is it, Archie?
23:33I've been thinking.
23:34What about?
23:37Nothing.
23:39I'm not surprised.
23:44Well, I've checked the windows and doors in this wing, Mr. Tennyson.
23:54And the billiard room?
23:55Everything is secure, sir.
23:56You can start on the second floor.
23:58Very good, sir.
23:59I say thank you.
24:05How's Aunt Blanche?
24:07You gave her a sleeping tablet.
24:09Good.
24:10Just what she needed.
24:11Colonel.
24:12Downey 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.
24:27Which 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.
24:39He had announced the brain should 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,
24:58as 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.
25:14You see, Phyllis, deception, collusion.
25:18Hugh, I'm afraid.
25:20That book brought death to Professor Downey.
25:23Please get rid of it, won't you?
25:26All right, darling, I will.
25:28Now.
25:29Tenney?
25:30Yes, Gibson Drummond.
25:31The diary.
25:32A match?
25:37A newspaper?
25:38Yes, Gibson Drummond.
25:41The Times.
25:42Thank you, sir.
25:43And a fireplace.
25:45I follow you, sir.
25:46You're quite certain, sir?
25:48Fire, Tenney.
25:49Flames.
25:50As you say, sir.
25:51You see?
25:52Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
25:55You're a nice boy.
25:57Come now, dear.
25:58We can sleep.
26:00The Times.
26:01And a fireplace.
26:02I follow you, sir.
26:05You're quite certain, sir?
26:06Fire, Tenney.
26:07Flames.
26:08As you say, sir.
26:09You see?
26:10Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
26:12You're a nice boy.
26:13I see, old boy.
26:17Did she kiss you?
26:19Did she, Algie?
26:20I saw her.
26:22Maybe she did, Algie.
26:24Maybe she did.
26:25Well, there goes a million pounds.
26:32That's love, old boy.
26:34Real love.
26:35Well, maybe it is, Algie.
26:37But somehow I...
26:38Well, I feel like a quitter.
26:40I beg your pardon, son.
26:42But if you feel any pangs of regret about burning the diary,
26:46I took the precaution to burn the telephone directory, sir.
26:50Just in case.
26:52Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:54Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:56I tried to give satisfaction, sir.
26:58You're a veritable treasure, sir?
27:00Treasure, indeed, Tenney.
27:02And with this, we'll find it, eh?
27:04As they say in the medical, though.
27:06One can't be shot for trying.
27:08You're wrong, Tenney.
27:10Professor Donnie wants...
27:19Well, anything doing?
27:20Nothing irregular.
27:21Nothing but me losing a good night's sleep.
27:23I wish they see Henry Seaton in Halifax, I do.
27:25Yeah, cooperating with Scotland Yard to catch Henry Seaton
27:27might win you a promotion, my boy.
27:29Aye, or a bullet in the back.
27:31Yeah, talk hearty, now.
27:32Talk hearty.
27:33Hearty?
27:34Hearty, may I.
27:36Go on, carry on.
27:48M's the thirteenth letter.
27:50Now, if it were transposed, we'd have...
27:52We'd have N.
27:54Halsey, wake up!
27:55Oh, leave me alone, leave me alone.
27:57Come on, old boy, you promised to help me.
27:59No, no, don't, darling, don't.
28:01What?
28:02Oh, it's you, ma'am.
28:04Oh, then she didn't slap me.
28:07Who didn't?
28:08The girl on the bus.
28:09We were riding down Piccadilly.
28:11And just as I kissed her, you slapped me.
28:14I'm sorry, old boy.
28:15Oh, that's all right.
28:16I'll probably see her again sometime.
28:18Now, look, Halsey, I've got the...
28:20Hugh!
28:21I forgot to ask for a telephone number.
28:25Look, Halsey, I've got it.
28:26The first letter, it's N, I think.
28:28First letter in what?
28:30In the alphabet, Halsey, the letter N.
28:33N in the alphabet.
28:35That's funny.
28:36Shut up.
28:37Now, here, look at that.
28:39Z, 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.
28:56Uh, I get it, I think, you know.
29:00X.
29:01X.
29:02C.
29:03L.
29:04O.
29:05L.
29:06Go on.
29:07X.
29:08C.
29:09L.
29:10O.
29:11L.
29:12O.
29:13Now, that's the first word.
29:14What 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.
29:25Oh, I can find it if we only have Professor Donnie's notes.
29:29Y.
29:31I.
29:32R.
29:33Z.
29:34A.
29:35I.
29:36R.
29:37Y.
29:38D.
29:39R.
29:40I.
29:41O.
29:42L.
29:43I.
29:44O.
29:45L.
29:46I.
29:47I.
29:48I.
29:49I.
29:50I.
29:51I.
29:52I.
29:53I.
30:08A great help you turned out to be.
30:10Three clubs.
30:12I'd give anything for just one.
30:14Doubled.
30:16With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
30:21Fold three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
30:27But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
30:37Y-R-A-R-B-I-L.
30:40L-I-B-R-A-R-Y.
30:46Library.
30:49Library.
31:16Library.
31:18Library.
31:19Library.
31:20Library.
31:51Oh, how are you?
32:21Down, Elsie. What are you shooting at me for?
32:51He got my mate, sir.
33:00Did you see who it was?
33:01No, sir.
33:02Let's get him inside.
33:04Kenny! Hurry now.
33:06What's the matter with the lights, sir?
33:08He was Mr. Blinzo.
33:12It's all right now, sir.
33:21Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:27He's done for, sir.
33:29You?
33:33What is it?
33:34It's one of the constables, dear.
33:40I 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.
33:50Well, that's something to be thankful for.
33:52Al thought a feeling that Seton would get him, sir.
33:54Any instructions?
33:55Yes, locate your men in a station close around the house.
33:58Very good, sir.
34:00Poor fellow.
34:01It might have been you if Seton had got inside.
34:04But he was inside.
34:05We saw him.
34:06You saw him?
34:08Where?
34:10In this very room, Colonel.
34:11He must have hidden somewhere after he killed Downey.
34:14That explains why the lights went off and why the burglar alarm sounded when he went out.
34:18Confirm it, Algie, 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.
34:23I know.
34:24Well, 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.
34:31We had plenty of time to come back while we were outside, Algie.
34:33Oh, Hugh.
34:34Huh?
34:35You mean he may be hiding in one of those secret passages?
34:38Waiting to pop out and corpse one of us?
34:41It's not unlikely.
34:42He has Downey's key to the sci-fi, you know.
34:44And we don't know where those passages are.
34:46Not the ones Downey mentioned at any rate.
34:48Kenny, 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.
34:59Bolton, see Miss Clabbingville room and stay on guard in the hall.
35:02Very good, sir.
35:03But Hugh, I...
35:04Please do as I say, darling.
35:05All right.
35:10Algie.
35:12Algie, 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.
35:22I'll carry on.
35:23Bulldog, Drummond, Sacred Police.
35:26Could 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.
35:35Because that's where I was on duty when it happened.
35:37He could have gone through the floor beds and escaped through the woods.
35:39Not unless he had seven-league boots, Colonel.
35:41That bed's over 20 feet wide.
35:42There's another footprint on it.
35:43And had he gone that way...
35:45He would have met us.
35:46Which he did not.
35:47And we can't let him get away with this, Colonel.
35:49He's made a fair job of it so far.
35:51May I get up now, sir?
35:52Oh, yes, Tenney.
35:54Well, that gives us a pretty fair idea of what took place here last night.
35:58Except how he got away.
36:00Yes, Algie, except how he got away.
36:03And if he didn't go that way, and if he didn't go that way...
36:05Or that way.
36:06Then which way did he go?
36:07Up, sir.
36:09Up.
36:10Yes, Algie, up.
36:12The ivy!
36:13Huh?
36:14Look, Colonel.
36:15He's left a trail of broken ivy.
36:16He's playing his day.
36:17Now, will you believe he's somewhere in the house?
36:18In the passages, Colonel.
36:19And when we open the entrance to the ones I'm familiar with...
36:20We'll try to find the entrance to the ones he's familiar with.
36:21Right.
36:22Have you ordered the men from the village, Tenney?
36:23They started to open the wall in the storeroom an hour ago, sir.
36:24Good.
36:25Now we'll see if Seton went through the window or made it to the roof.
36:26Oh, careful, Hill.
36:27See you in the third floor, sir.
36:28Right, Tenney?
36:29Wedding festivities, indeed.
36:30This place is a museum of horrors.
36:31Not just one murder, but two.
36:32Two murders in one night.
36:33There, there, Aunty.
36:34It's all over now.
36:35What's that?
36:36What is it?
36:37Help!
36:38Help!
36:39Help!
36:40Help!
36:41Help!
36:42Help!
36:43Help!
36:44Help!
36:46Help!
36:47Help!
36:49Help!
36:50Help!
36:51Help!
36:52Help!
36:53Help!
36:54Help!
36:55Help!
36:56Help!
36:57Help!
36:58Help!
36:59Sorry, darling.
37:00I thought you were downstairs having breakfast.
37:02Hugh Drummond.
37:03What are you doing?
37:04Peering in my window.
37:06Now, perhaps you realize the kind of man you're marrying?
37:08Please, Aunty Blanche, let me explain.
37:09I'm following Seton.
37:10Yes, climbing up walls like a bat.
37:13Well, that's how we got away.
37:14Up the ivy to one of the rooms above this, I think.
37:16I'm through.
37:17I've had enough.
37:19I'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 20 times before then.
37:26Oh, Aunty Blanche.
37:28I'm not your aunt.
37:29I wouldn't be your aunt if an act of parliament decreed it.
37:32That's but you're Phyllis's aunt, and you can't desert her like this.
37:34Oh, can't I?
37:36I suppose you'll stop me, you...
37:38You...
37:39You fine climbing Dracula!
37:45You better go.
37:46I'll talk to her.
37:47All right.
37:49No, not that way.
37:51Down.
37:52Anything for you, darling?
37:54Oh!
37:55Oh!
38:06Phew!
38:07Don't worry, darling.
38:08That's much the easiest way to come down.
38:10Captain Drummond!
38:12Yes, Tenny?
38:13There's no trace of him in this room, sir.
38:15Well, try the next one, then.
38:16That'll be Bolton's room, sir.
38:18Well, go over and see if the vines are torn over there on the right.
38:21Very good, sir.
38:25Bolton!
38:27Bolton!
38:33Bolton!
38:34Ha!
38:35Tenny!
38:38Tenny!
38:40I thought he doesn't answer.
38:41Well, let's go up.
38:42Captain Drummond!
38:43What is it, Sergeant?
38:44I'll pray, sir.
38:45One of my men found a body in clear wood.
38:47What, another one?
38:48Yes, sir.
38:49And we're hoping that you can identify him.
38:50What makes you think that?
38:51Because, sir, he was coming here.
38:52Here?
38:53Open season at Rockingham.
38:54The stationmaster identified him as a passenger on the 215 yesterday.
38:58He asked the way to the tower, sir.
39:00What'd he look like?
39:01Well, sir, he...
39:03He was a...
39:04He was a man about 40.
39:05Of medium height.
39:06Said he was your new butler, sir.
39:08Bolton!
39:09I've got it.
39:10Bolton started for Rockingham.
39:12And it was Seton who arrived.
39:13Right.
39:14He must have met Bolton on the train and...
39:15I say, Hugh!
39:16What's happened to Tenny?
39:17Tenny!
39:18We're wasting time.
39:20Sergeant, let no one leave the house.
39:22Right, Sergeant.
39:37Here, Alzi.
39:38What?
39:39Up there.
39:40To get my hot water bottle, Phyllis.
39:46Bolton.
39:47What are you doing in my room?
39:48Oh!
39:53Tenny!
39:55Tenny!
39:59Oh?
40:00He doesn't seem to be in...
40:01In the water or bouncing.
40:03Where is everyone, Bolton?
40:04In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering.
40:05Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
40:06Oh, thank you.
40:07Captain Drummond.
40:08Take it easy, old boy.
40:09What happened?
40:10What did you see?
40:11Stars.
40:12Auntie!
40:13Auntie!
40:14It was Bolton, sir.
40:15Yes, we know, Terry.
40:16We know.
40:17Hugh!
40:18Hugh!
40:19Hugh!
40:20Hugh!
40:21Where are you?
40:22Hugh!
40:23Hugh!
40:24Where are you?
40:25Hugh!
40:26Hu!
40:33Where are you?
40:34Hugh!
40:37Hugh!
40:38Where are you?
40:39Hugh!
40:40You!
41:05Bolton!
41:07What on earth are you doing?
41:09Captain Drummond must have found the entrance to the passages, miss.
41:12But I thought the entrance was...
41:13Phyllis!
41:15Phyllis!
41:21Phyllis!
41:22Phyllis!
41:24She must be with Seton.
41:25But where?
41:26That's what we've got to find out, Algy.
41:27See if the men have opened the wall in the storeroom.
41:30Colonel, I'm sure that screen came from here. There must be an entrance somewhere.
41:40Hey!
41:41Those old blighters didn't half wall up the entrance to these here passages.
41:44They didn't.
41:45Wait a minute!
41:46I'm the old blighter that walled it up twenty years ago!
41:54Blimey, what's he doing?
41:55Making a bomb, young fellow, my lad.
41:58Bottle, fuse, and gunpowder.
42:03It'll blow open the entrance to that passage in no time at all.
42:11Won't it damage the house, sir?
42:13Not a chance. Oh, no.
42:14I learned all about this sort of thing during the war.
42:16Pardon me, sir.
42:17We are both needed in the library, sir.
42:19Right, Hugh.
42:20I'll toddle along.
42:33Oh, confound it, Colonel.
42:34These panels are like the rock at Gibraltar, all of them.
42:36This code isn't solving either.
42:38Well, what do you expect?
42:39It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:40You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:41No, no.
42:42Don't get the wind up, Hugh.
42:43But Colonel, Phyllis!
42:45Algy!
42:46Teddy!
42:47Right here, old boy.
42:48Thank you, sir.
42:49Oh, good work, Teddy.
42:50Huh?
42:51Now, get busy, all of you.
42:52Yeah, but I say, Hugh, I've never used one of these things.
42:54It's just like a corkscrew, Alty.
42:55Oh, I know how to do that.
43:11I wouldn't try to bother you.
43:13These passages are like catacombs.
43:16May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:18I don't know.
43:19You know, something I haven't counted on.
43:21You know just how you're going to get out of here.
43:24Oh, the way we came in.
43:27I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the library.
43:31They know the entrance is there.
43:34Do they?
43:35We heard them.
43:37So they must have heard me when I screamed.
43:39Oh, you're a smart girl.
43:54The tower of waters.
44:04Now I know how I'm going to get out of here.
44:07To where?
44:08Perhaps.
44:09Go through the library with you.
44:11It's my ticket.
44:12So don't try to get away again.
44:13I wouldn't like it.
44:28Chamber of the Spikes.
44:29It's worth a hundred quid if it's worth a penny.
44:40Here, put it on.
44:41No!
44:42Not good enough for a ladyship, I suppose.
44:44I've got it, sir.
44:46Huh?
44:47Good work, Sidney.
44:50Seems just like Gilders.
44:52It's a draft here, Colonel.
44:54You!
44:55Good work, Alfie.
44:57Stand clear, Sidney.
45:00Alfie.
45:01Huh?
45:02Will you please get out of the way.
45:04Oh!
45:14Should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
45:44this place could tell some pretty tales, eh?
46:07Clever.
46:14With Lodge and Brockingham in line, a stone is found.
46:44Pull three long paces north and in the ground the answer lies.
47:05Phyllis!
47:07Phyllis!
47:14Well, what's one little gold piece?
47:15The roundheads never knew what became of the king's jewels after the Battle of Naseby.
47:24Here.
47:25You little fool, I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:26Phyllis!
47:27Phyllis!
47:28Phyllis!
47:29Phyllis!
47:30Phyllis!
47:31Phyllis!
47:32Phyllis!
47:33Oh!
47:34Oh!
47:35Oh!
47:36Oh!
47:37Oh!
47:38You little fool, I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:39Phyllis!
47:40Phyllis!
47:41Phyllis!
47:42Oh!
47:43Oh!
47:44Oh!
47:45Oh!
47:46Oh!
47:47Oh!
47:48Oh!
47:49Oh!
47:50Oh!
47:51Oh!
47:52Oh!
47:53Oh!
47:54Oh!
47:55Oh!
47:56Oh!
47:57Oh!
47:58Oh, like sardines in a tin, birds in a cage, with them all appropriate, sir.
48:19Pardon me, sir, but we are in your spotted trouble.
48:49Oh, like sardines in a cage.
48:56Oh, like sardines in a cage.
49:04Oh, like sardines in a cage.
50:41Let me talk to him.
50:43Satan.
50:44Yes, Colonel?
50:45Let Miss Clovering come down to us and we'll give you a fair chance to get away.
50:48Throw out your pistols.
50:50Oh, I say.
50:51We can't do that.
50:52I'll count five.
50:53One.
50:54Don't do it to you.
50:55He'll kill you.
50:56Two.
50:57Pardon me, sir.
51:04The reserve.
51:05Good work, Tenny.
51:06Come out, all of you.
51:08You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:09They promised to let you go.
51:10I'll see to that.
51:11First, we'll have Captain Drum.
51:12You!
51:13You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:14They promised to let you go.
51:15I'll see to that.
51:16First, we'll have Captain Drum.
51:17You!
51:18They promised to let you go.
51:19They promised to let you go.
51:20I'll see to that.
51:21First, we'll have Captain Drum.
51:22You!
51:23You!
51:53You!
51:54You!
51:56You!
51:57You!
51:59You!
52:01You!
52:03No!
52:04Heeeahhh!
52:06No!
52:07No, no, no!
52:09No!
52:11No, no, no!
52:14No, no!
52:16No!
52:18You!
52:19Heee-EE-EE-EE-EE-EE.
52:20Ah, Captain Drummond, Miss Clavering, places, everyone, rehearsing, right over here, please,
52:32facing me, and Captain, you will be on Miss Clavering's right.
52:37Oh, yes, of course.
52:39Just a little bit closer, if you please, yes, and Colonel, you will be on Miss Clavering's
52:43left.
52:43Oh, splendid.
52:44And Mr. Longworth, you will right here.
52:47Oh, Captain Drummond's right.
52:48That's right, well, how splendid.
52:50Now, uh, you're supposing we run through it.
52:52All you have to do is to keep calm.
52:55Now, uh, let me see.
52:56Uh, dearly beloved, we are gathered here.
53:05I say, Hugh, are you there?
53:08Oh, oh.
53:12Where's Phyllis?
53:14Chin up, old boy.
53:15She's gone.
53:17Gone where?
53:18She and her aunt have departed for Africa, sir.
53:23Africa?
53:25Yes, to hunt lions.
53:27She said it would be safer, sir.
53:29Oh, my God.
53:59Oh, my God.
