00:04:58THE END
00:04:59We can't get Wyatt. He's been dead eight years.
00:05:03Wyatt dead?
00:05:04Yeah. When did you know him?
00:05:06When you were both convicts in state prison 20 years ago?
00:05:09Dad!
00:05:11Tell them you were never in prison.
00:05:13It's true, June, but don't worry.
00:05:16It's all a mistake, as these men will soon learn.
00:05:18I'll be back quickly.
00:05:29I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie.
00:05:45But you never stay long enough.
00:05:47Only come to say goodbye.
00:05:49Government work keep me hopping like this satisfied flea from dog to dog.
00:05:53Even now, automobile and assistance outside loaded for trip to distant city.
00:05:59Uh, automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:06:03Tony, Dad's final appeal has been denied.
00:06:05Why didn't you tell me?
00:06:06Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers?
00:06:08June, dear, I phoned you several times.
00:06:10You were out.
00:06:11Well, we've got to keep trying.
00:06:13June, I know the strain you're under, but breaking down won't help.
00:06:16Dad has only nine days to live.
00:06:18You know that he's innocent.
00:06:19I've always believed that.
00:06:21Or as public defender, I'd never have carried the case so far.
00:06:24If Dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man.
00:06:26The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:30June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan.
00:06:32Miss Harley.
00:06:33Miss Harley?
00:06:34Oh, I followed Thomas Harley's case all through trial.
00:06:36What did you think of the case against Mr. Harley?
00:06:38Case seemed quite perfect.
00:06:40Almost too perfect.
00:06:41Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says.
00:06:43June, dear.
00:06:43We have only a few days left.
00:06:44We've got to do something.
00:06:46Where can I get a good private detective?
00:06:47Now, that idea's useless.
00:06:48Tony, if you won't give me the name of a detective, I'll find one myself.
00:06:51June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:52My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help.
00:06:56It was no use.
00:06:58I'm sorrider than you'll ever know to have to say it, but there's nothing we can do.
00:07:02One thing can be done.
00:07:04What's that, Charlie?
00:07:05Give young lady the name of detective.
00:07:07Who would you suggest?
00:07:08Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend.
00:07:10Call on detective tonight.
00:07:12Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state?
00:07:15Ancient proverbs say, one small wind can raise much dust.
00:07:20Excuse, please.
00:07:22What name did he give you?
00:07:24Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance.
00:07:26Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:44All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:46Tid it to two face of the tooth.
00:07:48We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:49Excellent, excellent.
00:07:50It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:54Thanks, Pop.
00:07:55Car okay?
00:07:56Oh, yes.
00:07:56All oil and grease.
00:07:57Yes, and a tank full of gas.
00:07:59Good.
00:07:59Now we will go back to hotel.
00:08:02What for?
00:08:03To unpack baggage.
00:08:06I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:11Now, ain't that something.
00:08:15After we packed the bags, better than we ever packed them before.
00:08:18Now that's what your Pop said.
00:08:20Yep.
00:08:20Then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:22It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:23Yeah.
00:08:24You know what it told me?
00:08:25I got a headache.
00:08:26A headache?
00:08:27Mm-hmm.
00:08:28I don't know where I got it, but I got one.
00:08:29Always sitting.
00:08:32Wish you would wear out brains instead of seat of pants.
00:08:35Pop, we have been thinking.
00:08:36Most impossible.
00:08:37Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Chan.
00:08:38We've been thinking.
00:08:39And now you have a headache.
00:08:43Hey, how did he know that?
00:08:45Now, in a case like this, what would confusion say?
00:08:49It's not confusion.
00:08:50It's Confucius.
00:08:51Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me.
00:08:55Hey, you hear that one brain knocking?
00:08:58That's you.
00:08:58That's the door.
00:08:59Uh-oh.
00:09:00That's me.
00:09:04Mr. Chan.
00:09:05Right over that way, ma'am.
00:09:07Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:13Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:16I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:18Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful.
00:09:22Mr.
00:09:22Oh, this is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:09:24I phoned him at the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:27I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison.
00:09:29I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:34I wanted Hugh to tell Dad.
00:09:35Mr. Harley feels that he has a chance.
00:09:37He has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:38I'm a detective, not a magician.
00:09:41You must not expect too much on short notice.
00:09:43But we have only nine days.
00:09:45Honorable grandmother always say, do not think of future.
00:09:49It come too soon.
00:09:51Police report on Harley case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:55You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:57Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:59But where?
00:10:00Place where you live.
00:10:02Why look there?
00:10:03Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:05He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:08Tooth is missing, but gap remained.
00:10:11From gap, we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:16We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:17Sitting assistants, you will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:29Okay, Pop.
00:10:29Boy, a murder case.
00:10:30Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:31Hurry?
00:10:32Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:35Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:38I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:39Every time they start, they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:42I've told you that's all I know.
00:10:47Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:52Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:54Ugliest trades sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:58Even gravedigger knows some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:04I'm sorry I said that.
00:11:05It just slipped out.
00:11:06Many such slip might solve mystery.
00:11:09Please continue.
00:11:10That's all I have to say.
00:11:12That's what women always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:17You are a social worker?
00:11:19Yes.
00:11:21You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict hoping to rehabilitate Sam?
00:11:26Often.
00:11:27What's wrong with that?
00:11:28Nothing.
00:11:29Very fine civic duty.
00:11:31Mr. Harley lived in this house for 15 years.
00:11:34So you must have known he was ex-convict when he first entered this house.
00:11:39I did.
00:11:39I tried to help him.
00:11:40You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:44He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:47After he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:5015 years after.
00:11:51What about a note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary's theatrical warehouse?
00:11:59The same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:12:02It was.
00:12:03But Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:07Even so, you could have written a note before crime occurred.
00:12:11So could anyone else in this house.
00:12:14Thank you so much.
00:12:17Mr. Kinsey, you would please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:21You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:24No, I have not.
00:12:33You work for a social foundation, Miss Patriot?
00:12:37Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:39Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary's theatrical warehouse.
00:12:44was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:48Oh, go on.
00:12:49Leave her alone, mister.
00:12:50She uses a seek and sock system.
00:12:52I've seen her practicing.
00:12:53On Mrs. Foss's typewriter?
00:12:56You make much money as typist?
00:12:58No?
00:12:59Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:13:02Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:05Mr. Johnson, you are a public accountant?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16You have owned business?
00:13:18Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:21One of your business firms is Cary's theatrical warehouse?
00:13:26But the police knew that.
00:13:28They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place,
00:13:31I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:35Now, Mr. Danvers,
00:13:38you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden
00:13:41shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:46You had me worried for a minute,
00:13:48but you're right.
00:13:48I was in both cities, often.
00:13:50You also visit banks which were robbed,
00:13:53including Citizens State Bank here.
00:13:55I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:59The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:14:02You sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks.
00:14:05Yes, sir.
00:14:06It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:09With your knowledge of banks,
00:14:10could you not be a very great assistance
00:14:12to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:16Now, wait a minute.
00:14:17If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:19Merely suggest what you could do,
00:14:21if dishonest.
00:14:23Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:28Listen, I buy my own clothes.
00:14:30Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:32Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat,
00:14:35I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:37During an investigation of Cary Warehouse,
00:14:40a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:43Huh?
00:14:43A dress of mine?
00:14:44Very small dress,
00:14:46consisting of few feathers.
00:14:48Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:51Oh, mister,
00:14:52you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:55But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:57I wore that costume in frivolous follies.
00:15:00But the show finally flopped.
00:15:02Cary's must have bought the props,
00:15:04scenery,
00:15:04and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:05But your show play,
00:15:07Cities of Lamont and Rawdon,
00:15:09at same time banks were robbed there,
00:15:11in identical manner,
00:15:13which Citizens State Bank robbed here.
00:15:15Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:17No, merely that moment trying to figure
00:15:20how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:24Oh, very cute.
00:15:26That will be sufficient for a present.
00:15:28All may go now.
00:15:35Did you learn anything that will help, Mr. Chan?
00:15:37No, tomorrow we'll visit prison
00:15:39and interview your father.
00:15:41Tell him not to worry
00:15:42and tell him we're doing everything.
00:15:43I said all may go,
00:15:45which include you, Miss Evans.
00:15:47I heard you the first time.
00:15:50Are you going to leave now, Mr. Chan?
00:16:00Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:16:03This is my house,
00:16:04and I'll do as I like.
00:16:07Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help,
00:16:09I'll get a leave of absence from my job
00:16:11and come down here...
00:16:11No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:13Miss Harley is right.
00:16:14You return to job.
00:16:15I send for you when I need you.
00:16:17Mr. Chan, I'm scared.
00:16:19We only have nine days.
00:16:20Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:21Excellent advice.
00:16:23Remember old saying,
00:16:24earthquake may shatter the rock,
00:16:26but sand upon which rock stood
00:16:28still right there in same old place.
00:16:31You relax,
00:16:32and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:40Mr. Chan,
00:16:41is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:43No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:46We'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:47What am I saying?
00:16:50You surprise yourself, huh?
00:16:52Usually you surprise me.
00:16:53Did you see that bee come through here
00:17:02with that jet job motor?
00:17:05There's someone shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:07Where's Birmingham?
00:17:08The car's going by itself.
00:17:09No, it ain't.
00:17:09I was steering by remote control.
00:17:11Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:12The only persons know we come this way
00:17:14are people living at Pass Hotel.
00:17:16This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:23I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:45I think, uh,
00:17:46as old friend warden come around,
00:17:48you think what?
00:17:49You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:51I mean it.
00:17:52You haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:54But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:57What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:17:59Oh, I know how you feel,
00:18:00but I still think you're being foolish.
00:18:02Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:18:05Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:08Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:12Oh, this is guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:14Oh, I've already met Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:16Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:18I should get resigned to the fact
00:18:19that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:20Mr. Baker wanted the print files on that new batch
00:18:33that just came in, sir.
00:18:34Oh, yes.
00:18:34In my office.
00:18:36Go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:37One moment.
00:18:38I have seen you before.
00:18:40I don't know,
00:18:41but I've seen you.
00:18:43You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:44And you are...
00:18:45Number 8251.
00:18:49He's Jimmy Slate, a forger.
00:18:51He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:54Did you see that man get popped the eye?
00:18:56You mean a tough guy?
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:57Oh, you mean the convict?
00:18:58Mm-hmm.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00Well, Birmingham round.
00:19:01Well, look at old Vigil.
00:19:05What do you say, boy?
00:19:06Not much.
00:19:07Man, it's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:09Yeah, but this face ain't staying.
00:19:11Neither is mine.
00:19:17It's Mr. Chan to see you, Mr. Harley.
00:19:21I've been waiting to see you, Mr. Chan.
00:19:23Sorry to see you here, Mr. Harley,
00:19:25but great pleasure to meet you anywhere.
00:19:27I don't know what I'm going to say.
00:19:29Please, sit down.
00:19:31Yeah!
00:19:32Birmingham, you're always late,
00:19:34even coming to see me.
00:19:35Don't you ever do anything on time?
00:19:37Sure, I bought a car once.
00:19:38How?
00:19:38On time.
00:19:39You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:41What?
00:19:41I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:43No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45Why, no.
00:19:45Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:46Not that bad.
00:19:48The lady at the beauty parlor said that she was going to...
00:19:50They can't recap them wrinkles.
00:19:51No.
00:19:52No.
00:19:53Now, what they should do is...
00:19:54They did.
00:19:55And while we was over there,
00:19:56do you know what...
00:19:57I know, I know.
00:19:59Now, look.
00:19:59Is that the same gal...
00:20:01No, she don't weigh that much now.
00:20:02No.
00:20:03No, all she weighs now is...
00:20:04That's still too heavy.
00:20:05Why don't you get her to go on the same diet my gal used?
00:20:09Get her to take two...
00:20:10Oh, they don't make that stuff anymore.
00:20:12No?
00:20:12No, now, what I want to give her is some...
00:20:14That'll give her hay fever.
00:20:15Yeah.
00:20:16Why, sure.
00:20:17Listen.
00:20:18Hmm?
00:20:18In that case,
00:20:19why don't you take her over to...
00:20:21I did.
00:20:21And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:23Who?
00:20:23I saw...
00:20:24Is he still out there?
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26I thought he was...
00:20:26He was, but he got out.
00:20:28Is that so?
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:30He's staying over with Mr.
00:20:31Is that so?
00:20:32Mm-hmm.
00:20:33They must be charged.
00:20:34No, not that much.
00:20:35No?
00:20:35No, all he's paying is...
00:20:37That's a fair price.
00:20:38Yeah.
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:39Well, look at you.
00:20:40I got to go now.
00:20:41I'll be over to see you.
00:20:42I'll be working then.
00:20:43Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:43I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:44Okay, kid.
00:20:45You sure look me up now?
00:20:45I'll do that.
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:47Who is that man?
00:20:48Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:51That's my brother, Ben.
00:20:52Oh, you're...
00:20:53Your wife died while you were in prison 20 years ago?
00:21:00When June was born.
00:21:02I never told June because I...
00:21:03I meant to go straight.
00:21:05And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:21:07But your fingerprints found in Bank Vault.
00:21:10Yes, I know.
00:21:11I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:13They were my prints, but...
00:21:15I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:20You don't believe me.
00:21:21Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:26Never believe nightmare, no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:31When you're here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:37Yes, he was.
00:21:38Ready to go, Mr. Chan?
00:21:40Yes, please.
00:21:41Don't you worry, Mr. Harley.
00:21:43Mr. Chan, do you think there's any hope?
00:21:45There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:49But if someone else committed a crime, then, Mr. Chan.
00:21:54What are you going to do?
00:21:56At the moment, I'm like man trying to set clock by guess.
00:22:00And as time does not stand still, perhaps better not stand still myself.
00:22:04Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
00:22:09When he says, now let's turn to one corner and you says another.
00:22:13I don't...
00:22:14I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:16I don't know.
00:22:17Let's follow it and see.
00:22:17No, we better not.
00:22:20Hey, Punchy.
00:22:21You know what I heard true to grapevine?
00:22:23Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:25Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:26You know what I'm going to do when I see that chant?
00:22:28Did you hear what that man said about Pop?
00:22:32I ain't there.
00:22:33I think we better follow them.
00:22:34What did you say just a while ago when I said let's follow them?
00:22:36Come on.
00:22:37No, that ain't what you said.
00:22:40Right this way, man.
00:22:49They went in here.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:50Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:52Look, you heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:53We've got to find out what they're up to.
00:22:55Okay, okay.
00:22:58There they are.
00:23:01See them?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:16The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:19Maybe we better hide to keep them from falling off.
00:23:21We'll sneak up, Pano.
00:23:22There you go.
00:23:23We'll sneak up again, Punchy.
00:23:25How many times do I got to tell you?
00:23:27That ain't the way to do it.
00:23:28You slash once when you want to finish something.
00:23:31Now, do you want to know how to do it?
00:23:33Don't interrupt.
00:23:35You take the stab like this.
00:23:37Once the job is done and it's neat.
00:23:42Do you hear me, Punchy?
00:23:44That's the way you do it.
00:23:45One slash.
00:23:49They are planning a murder.
00:23:50We've got to find out who he's going to kill.
00:23:52We're going to find out.
00:23:53You're going to find out.
00:23:54You can't help me.
00:23:55Wait a minute.
00:24:08Good, Chris.
00:24:08They've got to knock off.
00:24:09They're still coming.
00:24:14They're right behind us.
00:24:15Yeah, they're in that crowd.
00:24:16We can't see them.
00:24:16Let's go.
00:24:19Good, Chris.
00:24:20The gang is from all sides.
00:24:27Hey, look.
00:24:27Yeah, they're coming now.
00:24:28Do you see them?
00:24:29Yeah.
00:24:29No, let's go this way.
00:24:30Down the hall.
00:24:31Come on.
00:24:31Let's go.
00:24:32Oh, please.
00:24:33Let's get out of here.
00:24:35Yeah, they're coming.
00:24:35Good, Chris.
00:24:36Let's go.
00:24:46Boiglers.
00:24:47You better count your money.
00:24:48Don't be always interrupted, Punchy.
00:24:50Count it.
00:24:51Come on, you guys.
00:24:52Come on.
00:24:53Are you two guys following me?
00:24:55No, sir.
00:24:56We got you up first, but you can have it.
00:24:57Listen, mister.
00:24:58It's all a mistake.
00:24:58Why do you mean a mistake?
00:24:59I'm not kidding.
00:25:00Look at the atonement.
00:25:01This door's locked.
00:25:02No, I can't.
00:25:02Hey, how can we get out of here?
00:25:03How can?
00:25:04Hey, fellas.
00:25:05There's a visitor here.
00:25:05And he wants to know how he can get out.
00:25:09Oh, this isn't that funny.
00:25:10Mr. Champ.
00:25:11Hey, Paul.
00:25:12Mr. Champ.
00:25:13Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:15Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:17No.
00:25:17After talk with Mr. Harley, I'm convinced the man is innocent.
00:25:21But, Charlie, the law doesn't frame men.
00:25:24Accidents can happen if planned that way.
00:25:27But Harley's fingerprints were found in the bank.
00:25:29My theory is fingerprints were forged and placed at scene of crime.
00:25:33Oh, no, Charlie.
00:25:35That's impossible.
00:25:36Nothing is impossible.
00:25:38Forgery is only solution.
00:25:40Must find out how same is done before too late for Mr. Harley.
00:25:45Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:46Captain, what's up?
00:25:57Well, what started the rioting?
00:25:59Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:02What strangers?
00:26:02Mr. Champ.
00:26:03Mr. Champ.
00:26:04Mr. Champ.
00:26:05Mr. Champ.
00:26:05Oh.
00:26:06Oh.
00:26:06Which way?
00:26:07Which way?
00:26:07Which way?
00:26:08Cell block four.
00:26:13Mr. Champ!
00:26:13Quiet now.
00:26:15Come on.
00:26:17Quiet!
00:26:18Quiet now.
00:26:19Quiet now.
00:26:20Come on.
00:26:21Quiet now.
00:26:22Quiet now.
00:26:24Quiet now.
00:26:25Quiet now.
00:26:25Quiet now.
00:26:26Right this way, warden.
00:26:27He wants to get out.
00:26:28Right this way, Warden.
00:26:35He wants to get out!
00:26:38Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:39Who's that, Mr. Chan?
00:26:40Yep.
00:26:41So, even in prison you caused trouble?
00:26:43But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:45Mr. Chan, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:47First time I hear cuckoos outside of Clark.
00:26:50But, Pop, we heard them talking about you.
00:26:51Oh, Charlie, I heard you was here when I saw you.
00:26:53I wanted to shake your hand.
00:26:55Mr. Foggy, why, very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:58Thanks.
00:26:59I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:27:01Oh, sure. He put me in here.
00:27:02It took one of the greatest detectives in the world to do it.
00:27:04Oh, Mr. Chan, I want you to meet me pal, Punchy.
00:27:07Mr. Chan, this is undoubtedly the most supreme moment of my entire life.
00:27:13I stand here humbly...
00:27:15Hey, Dr. Punchy, you're...
00:27:17Don't interrupt.
00:27:18Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:27:20What are we gonna do now, Pop?
00:27:21You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:26What kind of garments is that?
00:27:27Straightjackets.
00:27:28That did it.
00:27:30Punchy!
00:27:31You've been going in for a literature.
00:27:38Your Mr. Thompson in this department has been most kind and helpful.
00:27:41Well, I'm glad, Charlie.
00:27:42We're proud of our staff.
00:27:44Mm-hmm.
00:27:52Hello.
00:27:53How you come with the experiment so far, Mr. Thompson?
00:27:56No luck yet, Mr. Chan.
00:27:57I was afraid it couldn't be done.
00:27:59Well, the forging of fingerprints has been tried before, but it's never worked.
00:28:02However, Mr. Chan's theory of how it might be done has possibilities.
00:28:07I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:14Same thing. No distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:16No oil.
00:28:17That's right, sir.
00:28:18What do you mean, oil?
00:28:19There's always natural oil in hands.
00:28:22And that oil is what causes the fingerprint to remain after the hand touches the surface.
00:28:26I tried using regular fingerprint ink, but the lack of oil caused a blurring of the ink.
00:28:30No one would take that for a fingerprint.
00:28:32Perhaps if we obtain oil more like natural oil.
00:28:35Well, I tried using a thin mixture of olive oil, but the oil ran and smeared, and the result was no fingerprints.
00:28:41Looks like we're up against a stone wall, Charlie.
00:28:43I don't promise anything, but I'm going to keep on trying.
00:28:46No man can do more.
00:28:48I have more work to do yet in your department.
00:28:51Afraid it's no use, Charlie, but what do you want done?
00:28:53Please, have police quietly check back 10 to 15 years on all persons now living at Posse Hotel.
00:28:59Okay, but why?
00:29:01Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:05I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:10You mean you are.
00:29:11You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:13Sure I do.
00:29:14It's something to the police wear.
00:29:15Are you kidding?
00:29:16Tommy!
00:29:17This is the last one, Pop.
00:29:19No more.
00:29:20Today's the 14th, and Harley's scheduled to die the 17th.
00:29:23What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:25Police reports show three banks robbed in past two years.
00:29:29Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:32Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on family tree.
00:29:36Woodpecker?
00:29:37I've got to remember that.
00:29:39Rawdon bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:43Lamont bank robbed, man named Stephen Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:47Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:49And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:53And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:55Also, a curious coincidence is,
00:29:58each man arrested in each case swear
00:30:01he leave no fingerprints in bank
00:30:03because he never there.
00:30:05Do you think Harley was in with the gang, Pop?
00:30:07Oh.
00:30:08He finished school, now he tried to finish me.
00:30:11But, Pop.
00:30:12Mmm, mocho.
00:30:14Also, in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:18Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:20Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:24It is only prison where all three men serve time.
00:30:27Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:28Yes.
00:30:29But let me make suggestion first.
00:30:32Keep quiet.
00:30:33Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:34But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:37That is idea.
00:30:39Very good idea.
00:30:40I believe there is some connection
00:30:43between bank robberies, fingerprints, and the state's prison.
00:30:47What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:50Oh, for time I nurse theory.
00:30:53Very excellent theory.
00:30:55But now, instead of nurse, I fear theory need undertaker.
00:31:01Hello.
00:31:03For you, Charlie.
00:31:04Oh.
00:31:05Charlie Chan speaking.
00:31:06We have that information you asked for.
00:31:08Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:10Yes, go ahead.
00:31:11Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade,
00:31:14a convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau at the state prison.
00:31:18She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:23Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived.
00:31:26And theory, now very healthy again.
00:31:31I see.
00:31:33Another thing, Miss Petrie, why you lie about clothes?
00:31:36I didn't.
00:31:37They were given to me.
00:31:38I learned different.
00:31:39Where you obtain money to buy fine garments.
00:31:42I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:43Please.
00:31:44Where you get money.
00:31:46Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:48I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:50You will talk at police headquarters.
00:31:52Get your hat and coat.
00:31:53Miss Holly, you go with her.
00:31:55You think she's mixed up in this?
00:32:00We soon find out.
00:32:03Mrs. Foss, why you lie when I ask you if any other convict live in this house?
00:32:08I didn't.
00:32:09Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:10You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:12When young lady bear title Miss,
00:32:15she usually have no husband to be mentioned.
00:32:19I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:21She's timid and shy.
00:32:23That's June.
00:32:25What happened?
00:32:35Someone choked me.
00:32:36Miss Petrie?
00:32:37I don't know.
00:32:38I don't know who it was.
00:32:40It was someone in that room.
00:32:50Clothing undisturbed.
00:32:55What have you there?
00:32:57Nothing, Pop.
00:32:58Just some old telephone numbers.
00:33:03Name of Kerry Theatrical Warehouse appear often in this case.
00:33:06Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:33:08Mr. Kenzie.
00:33:09You will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:12I will try warehouse.
00:33:25There must be a woman by the top.
00:33:30Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:33No license plates.
00:33:47Perhaps Miss Petrie arrive already.
00:33:49Take a look around.
00:33:51Quietly.
00:33:52Look around quietly.
00:33:53That's just what I'm going to do.
00:33:54Look around quietly.
00:33:55Right here in the light.
00:33:56See?
00:33:57It ain't no harm to that.
00:33:58Always want to go in the dark.
00:33:59See?
00:34:00I'm going to look right around here in the light.
00:34:01See that?
00:34:02Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:03Tommy.
00:34:04See?
00:34:05Go ahead.
00:34:06Go in the dark and get lost.
00:34:07I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:09Always running around.
00:34:10That ain't real.
00:34:11See that? Ain't nothin' to that.
00:34:19Tommy, see? Go ahead. Go in that dark and get lost.
00:34:23I don't care. I'm gonna stay out here in the light.
00:34:31That ain't real. Oh, boy. Oh, boy, that ain't real.
00:34:35But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me.
00:34:39Be dependable.
00:34:41Hey, Tommy.
00:34:43Tommy!
00:34:45Tommy!
00:35:09Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Don't get excited now.
00:35:19He ain't real. He was real. Don't get excited now. He's in a trance, not us.
00:35:25Just stay with me, and I'll ask you when to go.
00:35:33Oh, boy. Now, you don't have to worry, now. Everything's all right. Just stay with me.
00:35:37I'll never see. They ought to have a cage or something for them lions around here.
00:35:41This house shorting is terrible. I ain't never... Whoa!
00:35:45Mmm. I heal a monster.
00:35:47This place is gettin' crowded.
00:35:49Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:51Just hold that a little bit. Thank you. That's aplenty.
00:35:53Uh-oh. I've never seen that like this before in my life.
00:35:55Tommy.
00:35:57Give me my hat.
00:35:59Tommy, is that you got in my hat?
00:36:01Tommy, please say yes, you got in my hat.
00:36:05Tommy.
00:36:06Tommy.
00:36:07Give me my hat.
00:36:08Tommy.
00:36:09Tommy.
00:36:10Is that you got in my hat?
00:36:11Tommy.
00:36:12Tommy.
00:36:13Please say yes, you got in my hat.
00:36:16It ain't no kiddin' either.
00:36:21It ain't no kiddin' either.
00:36:24Tommy.
00:36:25Tommy.
00:36:26Tommy.
00:36:27Tommy.
00:36:28Tommy.
00:36:29Tommy.
00:36:30Tommy.
00:36:31Tommy.
00:36:32Tommy.
00:36:33Tommy.
00:36:34Tommy.
00:36:35Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen get together because I'm going to show it to you.
00:36:46Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:49I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:52Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:54Wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:57Look at this.
00:36:59Good evening.
00:37:01Well, ain't this nice?
00:37:03Looks all right.
00:37:05Good gracious.
00:37:14Tommy.
00:37:16Tommy.
00:37:17Mr. Doorman.
00:37:19Mr. Doorman.
00:37:20You better open that door.
00:37:21If you don't, you're going to lose it.
00:37:23Good gracious.
00:37:24Oh, my goodness.
00:37:26Good gracious.
00:37:28Mr. Jack.
00:37:29Good gracious.
00:37:32Good gracious.
00:37:33Tommy.
00:37:34Tommy.
00:37:35Tommy.
00:37:36Mr. Chan.
00:37:37Tommy.
00:37:38Good gracious.
00:37:39Tommy.
00:37:40Tommy.
00:37:41Here I am.
00:37:42Oh, Tommy.
00:37:43How did it happen?
00:37:44How did what happen?
00:37:45You ain't got no clothes on, don't you?
00:37:46Don't you catch cold?
00:37:47Birmingham.
00:37:48Good gracious.
00:37:49Tommy, don't do that without you saying something.
00:37:50Hey, is this you or is this you?
00:37:51Who is you?
00:37:52This is me.
00:37:53Be quiet.
00:37:54Oh, that's you?
00:37:55I just came happy, Tommy.
00:37:56I'm all upset.
00:37:57Good gracious.
00:37:58I never...
00:37:59I'm nervous.
00:38:00I just got to sit down.
00:38:01I'm telling you.
00:38:02I'm just...
00:38:03Ow!
00:38:04Good.
00:38:05A snake.
00:38:06Mr. Chan.
00:38:07Mr. Chan.
00:38:08Please, please.
00:38:09Didn't I tell you to look around quietly?
00:38:11I mean quietly.
00:38:12Go watch door.
00:38:13Yes, sir.
00:38:14That's the best thing I heard you said.
00:38:41Mr. Johnson.
00:39:11Hey, Pop.
00:39:12Hey, Pop.
00:39:13Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:15I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:17Strange you not hear us.
00:39:18My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:20Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:22I have sinus trouble.
00:39:23At times, like tonight, it affects my hearing.
00:39:26Makes me slightly deaf.
00:39:27You not hear assistants make noise in warehouse?
00:39:29No, I didn't.
00:39:30I couldn't.
00:39:31I'm very sorry for you.
00:39:32I say I'm sorry for you.
00:39:34I'm sorry for you.
00:39:35I'm sorry for you.
00:39:36I'm sorry for you.
00:39:37I'm sorry for you.
00:39:38I'm sorry for you.
00:39:39I'm very sorry for you.
00:39:40I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:43Oh, thank you.
00:39:44If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to finish.
00:39:57Your deafness too convenient, Mr. Johnson.
00:40:00Good idea, huh, Pop?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03Your idea.
00:40:04My dollar.
00:40:05Give.
00:40:07Miss Petrie arrived here yet?
00:40:09Miss Petrie?
00:40:10I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick!
00:40:16Mr. Chan!
00:40:23Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:25That truck just went around and here it comes back again!
00:40:30Miss Petrie!
00:40:31Hey, look out!
00:40:32Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:33Call the police.
00:40:34Yes, sir.
00:40:35Here's her purse pocket.
00:40:36No.
00:40:37Wish only police to examine ladies' purse.
00:40:39No, Mr. Chan.
00:40:40She didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:41Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:40:42No, I won't say anything.
00:40:43Goodbye.
00:40:44I was right.
00:40:45Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:40:46Give me a minute.
00:40:47Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:48Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:49Call the police.
00:40:50Call the police.
00:40:51Yes, sir.
00:40:52Here's her purse pocket.
00:40:53No.
00:40:54Wish only police to examine ladies' purse.
00:40:55No, Mr. Chan.
00:40:56She didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:57Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:41:00No, I won't say anything.
00:41:01Goodbye.
00:41:02Goodbye.
00:41:03I was right.
00:41:05Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:41:08You mean she was murdered?
00:41:09By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself for desistance.
00:41:13But Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:15To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:19Mr. Chan?
00:41:20Yes.
00:41:21I thought I recognized these prints.
00:41:22They were in my files.
00:41:23They belong to Lewis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:25Lewis Mack, convict?
00:41:26Where?
00:41:27He served two sentences at state prison.
00:41:29I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:32No.
00:41:33Not necessary.
00:41:34Instead, I myself will go to state's prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:38What for?
00:41:39To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:44I will telephone you.
00:41:45Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:42:07Four of them?
00:42:08Yes.
00:42:09The cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Hawley and Lewis Mack.
00:42:13Was not expecting a card on Lewis Mack today.
00:42:16Why not?
00:42:17I got the cards on Gray and Briggs from the dead file.
00:42:20And day after tomorrow, Harley's card goes into that file.
00:42:23Believe Mr. Harley, we'll live longer than you think.
00:42:26You got something, Charlie?
00:42:27Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:30You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints other than those photographed here.
00:42:36Oh, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:38And maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:41And mine, perhaps.
00:42:43Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:44Right away.
00:42:45But, Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:49Believe the same has already been done.
00:42:51Through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:56Briggs, Gray and Harley.
00:42:58Gray went out of his head.
00:42:59He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:01And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:03Two months here finished him.
00:43:04I learned both men die protesting innocence.
00:43:07They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rawdon not placed there by themselves.
00:43:13And now, Mr. Harley say...
00:43:15But, Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:19We'll see as soon as Mr. Barker finish his examination.
00:43:23Okay, okay.
00:43:25This looks okay, huh?
00:43:26Let's sit down.
00:43:27Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble and wait for Mr. Chan.
00:43:31Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:33Oh, no.
00:43:34Not again.
00:43:35Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:43:37Hi, boy.
00:43:38How are you?
00:43:39I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:41Yeah?
00:43:42Yeah, look, is you still in?
00:43:43Is you still out?
00:43:44Oh, sure.
00:43:45Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:47Oh, yeah.
00:43:48I went over and I saw him.
00:43:49You see, nobody introduced us, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:52That's the wrong approach.
00:43:53Yeah?
00:43:54Sure.
00:43:55I did, and we killed it.
00:43:57No.
00:43:58So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:59I thought the finance company got that.
00:44:00Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:44:02Oh, I see.
00:44:03Say, is he still going...
00:44:05No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:06No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08I thought all the time you...
00:44:09Oh, she's married.
00:44:10No.
00:44:11Yeah, she married a fella by the name of...
00:44:13He's a nice fella.
00:44:14Oh, he is?
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Wait a minute.
00:44:17Hmm?
00:44:18Let me tell you something.
00:44:19What's that?
00:44:20You know what I heard?
00:44:21What?
00:44:22I heard...
00:44:23Not until Christmas.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25I never did believe that term.
00:44:26I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:27No.
00:44:28In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:29Who?
00:44:30He.
00:44:31He?
00:44:32Who?
00:44:33Who's he?
00:44:34Oh, him.
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:36Oh, I didn't know who you were talking about.
00:44:37No.
00:44:38No.
00:44:39I never did know him.
00:44:40I didn't know him myself.
00:44:41He's been strangest for years.
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:43You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:44What?
00:44:45That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:46Yeah.
00:44:47Because me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:51You sure you're right, Barclay?
00:44:52Absolutely.
00:44:53Our file cards have been tampered with.
00:44:55This one has been wiped clean.
00:44:57And this one...
00:44:58That's Lewis Mack's card.
00:44:59Yes, sir.
00:45:00And on it are a thumb and index print made by someone not in this prison.
00:45:04Preserve this card.
00:45:06It is proof that someone tried to falsely accuse Lewis Mack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:45:11When Kenzie gets back here with Slade, I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:45:13If I have to make...
00:45:14Warden, the guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:16He must know why we want him.
00:45:18Well, I'll find him.
00:45:19I'll call a general lockup.
00:45:23Gavin!
00:45:28Uh-oh.
00:45:29Gotta go.
00:45:30Can't be late in this school.
00:45:31No.
00:45:32Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:33Be good.
00:45:34Show a lot of bells.
00:45:35Yeah, I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:36I don't know.
00:45:37Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:38This is one we're gonna stay out of.
00:45:40The best thing that I heard you say here.
00:45:41Look, let's play John Ken Paul.
00:45:42John Ken Paul.
00:45:43John Ken Paul.
00:45:44Yeah, he's out.
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:46Okay.
00:45:47Yeah, he's out.
00:45:48Yeah, he's out.
00:45:49I got you there, sir.
00:45:58Yeah, he's out.
00:46:00Oh, no.
00:46:01Yeah, he's out.
00:46:05A lot of sirens.
00:46:06Yeah, but we're gonna stay right here.
00:46:10He's out.
00:46:13He's out.
00:46:15Slade missing?
00:46:16Yes, sir.
00:46:17We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:18Alerting the guards have located Slade.
00:46:20He's heading for the bailing shed.
00:46:21Come on.
00:46:22He's out.
00:46:23He's out.
00:46:24He's out.
00:46:25He's out.
00:46:26He's out.
00:46:27He's out.
00:46:28He's out.
00:46:29He's out.
00:46:30He's out.
00:46:31He's out.
00:46:32He's out.
00:46:44He's out.
00:46:45He's out.
00:46:47The sirens stop.
00:46:49We better go and fight Pop.
00:46:50Let's do that.
00:46:51Let's fight Pop.
00:46:52Come on.
00:47:02Watch out, Warden, he's up on the bale.
00:47:32Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:36Slade, you better give up, you haven't got a chance.
00:47:40Yeah?
00:47:42Come and get me.
00:47:53He's hit.
00:47:54He still may be able to talk.
00:48:02You're not going to make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:13This lady's dead.
00:48:15Just as well for him.
00:48:19Gun barrel plugged.
00:48:21Gun explode.
00:48:22He'd kill self.
00:48:24Hiya, Pop.
00:48:25Did something happen?
00:48:26A dead man.
00:48:27Guess something did happen.
00:48:28Yeah, we better go before something happened to us.
00:48:32It is too bad.
00:48:33Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:37But if there was something wrong...
00:48:39State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:48:41At present, I have no proof at all.
00:48:44I have no proof at all.
00:48:45I have no proof at all.
00:48:47You can't tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:50But if there was something wrong...
00:48:51State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:48:52At present, I have no proof at all.
00:48:53You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:48:54Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:48:55What do you want now?
00:48:56Your fingerprints please.
00:48:57Why?
00:48:58I'm looking for murderer.
00:48:59Well, that lets me out.
00:49:00One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:01I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:04Look, Mr. I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:06You see, Mr. I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:07I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:08You see, Mr. I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:10Why?
00:49:11I'm looking for a murderer.
00:49:13Well, that lets me out.
00:49:14One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:16I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:18Look, mister, I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:21Have you got a warrant?
00:49:22No, but...
00:49:23Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:25No.
00:49:26Okay, then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:29Excuse, please.
00:49:32So you work for the government.
00:49:34Who doesn't these days?
00:49:35You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:38Okay, toots.
00:49:40When you get a warrant, give me a buzz.
00:49:42Ta-ta.
00:49:45Miss Evans too smart for her own good.
00:49:48I have her fingerprints now, here.
00:49:51I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:54Everyone else is out.
00:49:56No matter.
00:49:57This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:01We go upstairs, please.
00:50:09You two not afraid?
00:50:11Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:12That you sit down so often you get concussion of brain.
00:50:15Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:17Good.
00:50:18Save it for old age.
00:50:21Look, save one for me too.
00:50:32Any luck?
00:50:33Not yet, sir.
00:50:34Has anything been heard from Foss Hotel yet?
00:50:37Nothing.
00:50:38The prints on Lewis Mac's prison card were those of Johnson,
00:50:41but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:42Excuse, please.
00:50:50Hello.
00:50:51Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:52No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:54Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away on one of his regular trips.
00:50:58But I'm worried it's getting...
00:51:00Please, please, you must not worry.
00:51:02Everything now in lap of gods.
00:51:04Very soon I give very hearty shove.
00:51:07Perhaps Clue fall off of laps.
00:51:10Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:12As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:17Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:19But when pressed against an object, they still leave no print marks.
00:51:22That's right.
00:51:23The lack of oil, huh?
00:51:24I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:27And if this test doesn't work, I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:31No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:36Now this is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:48Now if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:51:54I'm afraid.
00:51:55I'm afraid.
00:51:56I'm afraid.
00:51:57I'm afraid.
00:51:58I'm afraid.
00:51:59I'm afraid.
00:52:00I'm afraid.
00:52:01I'm afraid.
00:52:02I'm afraid.
00:52:03I'm afraid.
00:52:04Now those are forged fingerprints.
00:52:05But any expert not knowing what we did would swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:08Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:09No, no.
00:52:10We make successful experiment.
00:52:12But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:52:16But, Pop, if the detective at the Force Hotel arrests Johnson...
00:52:19I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:22This engraving and photography on rubber.
00:52:25You do all of that here?
00:52:27No, sir.
00:52:28I used an engraving plant.
00:52:29I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:32Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:35No, sir.
00:52:36They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:38Large place.
00:52:39Large...
00:52:41You remain here and try contact Governor of State.
00:52:44If detectives at Force Hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:50Cary's?
00:52:51What are you going out there for?
00:52:52To try and prove.
00:52:53Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:57Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:52:59Very fine job.
00:53:00You know, Pop, believe it or not, that's the same idea I had.
00:53:03Hmm.
00:53:06Tommy, now I've heard everything.
00:53:09Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:53:16Shrewd observation.
00:53:17This is truck which killed Miss Petrie.
00:53:20Look inside.
00:53:22Four big cameras.
00:53:23Hey, what are them turbs doing in there?
00:53:25That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:28You two remain here on watch.
00:53:30If I call, come quickly.
00:53:32Yes, sir.
00:53:33You know, I think Pop's got someone.
00:53:37There must be some clues around here.
00:53:39Let us do some investigating on our own.
00:53:40Come on.
00:53:41Let us you go and let us me stay here.
00:53:43I'm gonna wait right here.
00:53:45You're always talking about let us do some investigating.
00:53:47Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan. It's safer.
00:54:03Birmingham, it's me.
00:54:29It's me.
00:54:56I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:57Hey, Pop!
00:54:59Hey, Pop!
00:55:00No, I know you ain't real.
00:55:03Couldn't be real.
00:55:04Oh, boy.
00:55:05Not now.
00:55:06But when I ask you to make your departure, do not leave me here.
00:55:08Birmingham!
00:55:09Now, this is exactly what I need.
00:55:10A removable foxhole.
00:55:11It's real.
00:55:12It's real.
00:55:25It's real.
00:55:26It's real.
00:55:27It's real.
00:55:29It's real.
00:55:31Now is the time.
00:56:01Oh my goodness, it can't be.
00:56:05I know it ain't true.
00:56:06Don't know if I believe it.
00:56:07I don't believe it.
00:56:08Oh, as you told me.
00:56:12I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:14Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:56:16Look, in the truck.
00:56:17I got an idea.
00:56:18Good idea.
00:56:21Good idea, Tom.
00:56:25That's right, Tom.
00:56:26Back it out.
00:56:27Right straight through that door.
00:56:31I'm going to run down that killer.
00:56:32That's what we'll do.
00:56:33What?
00:56:36Get him, Tomy.
00:56:37Don't miss him, Tomy.
00:56:45What am I saying?
00:56:46Good gracious of me.
00:56:48You are a traveling salesman.
00:56:56This time, no sale.
00:56:59Assistants do a very fine job.
00:57:02Thanks, Pop.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:04You put murderer right in my hands.
00:57:07I guess we're pretty good, huh?
00:57:09Yeah!
00:57:10How do we do it?
00:57:17Hello.
00:57:19Charlie, where have you been?
00:57:21Yes, I'll send the police right over.
00:57:23We've only a couple of hours.
00:57:24What about Harley?
00:57:25Yes, Mr. Morgan, please telephone warden.
00:57:28I have complete evidence to exonerate Mr. Harley.
00:57:31When police arrive, we'll drive to prison.
00:57:34Pick you up on way.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:39Fast talking salesman unusually quiet.
00:57:41I'll talk plenty.
00:57:43You killed Mr. Johnson to prevent him from talking.
00:57:47This way, please.
00:57:51So, that is why I slightly detained last night.
00:57:54Mr. Harley, you'll be out of here the moment the state's attorney's papers arrive.
00:57:57Oh, Dad.
00:57:58Everything's all right, June.
00:57:59Your dad's free?
00:58:00Oh, you were wonderful to us, Hugh.
00:58:02Well, it's over.
00:58:03I'm glad you settled it, Charlie.
00:58:05Oh, case not settled yet.
00:58:07Why, wasn't Danvers the guilty man?
00:58:09Convict Slade is one who steal fingerprint cards from prison files.
00:58:13And he sent them to Johnson, who photographed and engraved them on rubber.
00:58:16And Danvers cased each bank before the robberies.
00:58:19But all work for third man who is missing, man responsible for most of crimes.
00:58:24How was Slade able to get fingerprint cards out of prison and back again so easily?
00:58:31Good question, Warden?
00:58:34It is.
00:58:37You got any more?
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39Who gives Slade gun?
00:58:40Who fix gun so it explode when fired and murder Slade?
00:58:44Man who do all these things is third missing man.
00:58:48Must be someone inside prison.
00:58:52Correct, Warden?
00:58:53You may be right.
00:58:55Many contemptible persons in prison.
00:58:58But worst of all is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:59:02You're accusing me?
00:59:04My suspicions confirmed after talking with Mr. Danvers.
00:59:07We got your comfort.
00:59:08Thank you, Charlie.
00:59:12Excellent.
00:59:17Excellent.
00:59:20You will put weapons back in pockets.
00:59:22I guess we are good, huh?
00:59:23I don't know how we did at that time.
00:59:27Charlie?
00:59:28I at least thought Kenzie loved you.
00:59:30Oh, he egomaniac.
00:59:31He thinks only of self.
00:59:33He...
00:59:34He wants money so he steals it.
00:59:36He tries to get rid of you because you oppose daughter's marriage to him.
00:59:40How did you find that out?
00:59:42I talked with chorus girl, Miss Evans.
00:59:44Well, Charlie.
00:59:46Next time you're in town, drop in and see us.
00:59:49See us?
00:59:51Oh.
00:59:52Oh.
00:59:55We sure fooled them, didn't we?
00:59:56Yeah, your pop show got a great sense of humor.
00:59:59You should know that by now.
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01Well, Birmingham Brown.
01:00:04Oh, no.
01:00:05This is too much.

01:00:33Yeah, I met him last time, you know.
01:00:34That's right, Mr. Chan.
01:00:35That's the time that I took it over to...
01:00:37Took what over to where?
01:00:38Oh, the check to the tailors.
01:00:39Oh, that's what after that suit I never got to wear.
01:00:41Yeah.
01:00:42Birmingham go out in rain.
01:00:43Suit shrink.
01:00:44Tailor refuse same.
01:00:45So Birmingham must pay for suit.
01:00:46Well, where's the suit now?
01:00:47It's still shrinking.
01:00:48My little nephew got on his teddy bear.
01:00:50You know that's why I like to meet you boys.
01:00:52We understand each other so well.
01:00:53Oh, no, no, no.
01:00:54Oh, Mr. Chan.
01:00:55He killed me.
01:00:56Oh, Mr. Chan.
