00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Yes, Mr. Prescott. I know. You're the king of the jungle.
00:01:18Oh, everybody knows me. Can't have any fun around here.
00:01:22What'll it be?
00:01:24Bourbon. Straight bourbon for everybody.
00:01:26I'm king of the jungle.
00:01:35That'll be a dollar, Mr. Prescott. And it's closing time.
00:01:38Don't rush me.
00:01:41That's a lot of money to be carrying around, Mr. Prescott.
00:01:44Only ten grand. I'll tell you ten times more than that without losing a dime.
00:01:49I don't believe them, Banks. I tried them, see?
00:01:51I'm going to paint the towel red tonight. Yes, sir.
00:01:58And when Sam Prescott paints the towel red, he won't get home until morning.
00:02:06I won't get home until morning.
00:02:18Maybe I won't get home at all.
00:02:23Here's your chance, mister. Ask him.
00:02:26Well, what is it, friend? What's on your mind?
00:02:28The town's full of conventions. The guy can't get a room.
00:02:31Well, who says he can't? He can use mine.
00:02:34Any friend of Sam Prescott's is a friend of mine.
00:02:37Follow me, friend. Just follow me.
00:02:41I'm kidding you, the jungle!
00:02:43I'll take a deep breath. Ready?
00:02:54Now, no fair cheating.
00:02:56A deep breath, I said. That's right.
00:02:58Inhale.
00:02:59Exhale.
00:03:00Now, don't you feel much better?
00:03:02We're all set.
00:03:03Bend. Stretch.
00:03:05Bend. Stretch.
00:03:07Touch your toes.
00:03:08Bend. Stretch. Touch your toes.
00:03:10Now, ah, you can do it.
00:03:11That's better.
00:03:13Bend. Stretch.
00:03:14Bend. Stretch.
00:03:16Bend. Stretch.
00:03:18Bend.
00:03:26Look now, I've got 26 rooms to clean
00:03:29and I can't upset my schedule.
00:03:34Please, mister Prescott, don't be difficult.
00:03:38Mister Prescott.
00:03:38Pardon me.
00:03:49Excuse me, sir.
00:03:52Come in.
00:03:54Excuse me, folks.
00:03:56Train's crowded.
00:03:57I wonder if a young lady could sit here for a spell.
00:04:00Oh, I guess so.
00:04:01Thank you, sir.
00:04:02This way, please.
00:04:08Are you married?
00:04:22Well, you see, this is my first trip to New York.
00:04:26I was just married, too.
00:04:28I mean, you folks know what I mean.
00:04:33Yeah.
00:04:33So you were just married?
00:04:38Uh-huh.
00:04:39I guess it's pretty obvious.
00:04:43Well, go on.
00:04:44Tell us all about it.
00:04:45When did you first meet him?
00:04:47Well, I was working in a little restaurant in Grantsville, Ohio.
00:04:51That's where I live.
00:04:53One day he just came in.
00:04:55Love at first sight, eh?
00:04:57No.
00:04:58No, I didn't even pay much attention to him.
00:05:01He was strange.
00:05:04I remember our first date.
00:05:06I didn't want to go, but somehow that night I just found myself waiting for him.
00:05:11We just walked.
00:05:12He didn't say much.
00:05:15It's hard to explain, but I felt that same strangeness.
00:05:19You mean, you only met this man three times and then married him?
00:05:31Mm-hmm.
00:05:32What's he do for a living?
00:05:33Uh, he sells something or other.
00:05:35I really don't know.
00:05:38And he left you right after you were married?
00:05:40He was called away on business.
00:05:43It's almost as if you had married a stranger, isn't it?
00:05:45Mm-hmm.
00:05:49Call for Mr. King.
00:06:07Call for Mr. King.
00:06:10Call for Mr. King.
00:06:12Call for Mr. King.
00:06:15Well, good morning.
00:06:17Good morning.
00:06:17I'm Mrs. Baxter.
00:06:19Oh, yes, Mrs. Baxter.
00:06:21My husband reserved a room.
00:06:23Oh, excuse me.
00:06:23I'll see.
00:06:25That's right.
00:06:26He called in yesterday afternoon.
00:06:29Room, uh, 1210.
00:06:32Oh, Mr. Baxter didn't get here yet?
00:06:34No, he didn't.
00:06:35Oh.
00:06:38Junior!
00:06:38Junior!
00:06:49Millie!
00:07:11Middle.
00:07:28Don't, Fred, please.
00:07:30What's the matter, Lily?
00:07:34I just don't know how to tell you.
00:07:37Tell me what?
00:07:40What are you doing here?
00:07:41You got my letter.
00:07:43What letter?
00:07:45Well, why are you here?
00:07:48My husband sent for me.
00:07:52Your husband?
00:07:55I'm married, Fred.
00:07:58I didn't...
00:08:01Do I know him?
00:08:04I don't think so.
00:08:06His name is Paul Baxter.
00:08:09When were you married?
00:08:11A month ago, in Grantsville.
00:08:13What are you doing here at the Sherwin?
00:08:15This is a salesman's hotel.
00:08:17Paul's a salesman.
00:08:19Yeah, so am I, remember?
00:08:20That's the reason you wouldn't marry me.
00:08:21Paul, apparently, was a better salesman.
00:08:34Congratulations.
00:08:38Fred, what did you write in that letter?
00:08:41Oh, it doesn't matter now.
00:08:42Oh, it doesn't matter now.
00:08:55Yes?
00:08:56Yes, Mrs. Baxter.
00:08:59No, Mrs. Baxter.
00:09:01Yes, I'll put all calls through, no matter how late.
00:09:04Hey, Charlie, take a look at this, will you?
00:09:12Hey, Charlie, take a look at this, will you?
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:14Let's go.
00:09:44Let's go.
00:10:14Let's go.
00:10:44Let's go.
00:11:15Paul?
00:11:19Oh, Fred.
00:11:21No, no, I've heard nothing from him.
00:11:26Thanks for calling, Fred.
00:11:29I said thanks for calling.
00:11:31Good night.
00:11:34Good night.
00:11:36Good morning.
00:11:50Good morning.
00:11:52Sleep well?
00:11:53Not very.
00:11:54Good morning.
00:11:55Good morning.
00:11:59Any word?
00:12:00No.
00:12:01Well, you better have some breakfast.
00:12:03Good morning.
00:12:03Your order, please?
00:12:04Oh, no, Fred, please.
00:12:06I couldn't eat.
00:12:07Oh, come on.
00:12:07Have some coffee or something.
00:12:08Nothing.
00:12:09Nothing.
00:12:13I'm terribly worried about Paul.
00:12:16You're sure he knew you were coming?
00:12:19Well, he sent me this telegram.
00:12:21I've been making calls all morning.
00:12:25I even checked the hospitals.
00:12:28Well, it's sent from Philadelphia.
00:12:29It's only a couple of hours from here by train.
00:12:31I know.
00:12:32I wish there was something I could do.
00:12:35Well, there's the police.
00:12:37Police?
00:12:39Well, the Bureau of Missing Persons.
00:12:41How do I get there?
00:12:43Come on.
00:12:44Oh, but I don't want to take you from your work, Fred.
00:12:47Oh, that'll keep.
00:12:48Come on.
00:12:56Homicide Squad.
00:12:57You hired me to meet him here yesterday morning,
00:12:59and he hasn't shown up.
00:13:00No, you've got the wrong department.
00:13:01This is homicide.
00:13:02The Missing Persons Bureau is down the hall to your left.
00:13:04Well, can't you help us?
00:13:17All right, I'll take the information.
00:13:20Bill.
00:13:21Your name?
00:13:23Mildred Baxter.
00:13:24Husband's name?
00:13:24Paul Baxter.
00:13:25And your address?
00:13:26The Sherwin Hotel.
00:13:28When was the last time you saw your husband?
00:13:30The day we were married, a month and four days ago.
00:13:33Where was this?
00:13:34In Grantsville, Ohio.
00:13:36Under what circumstances did he leave you?
00:13:38Well, he had to come back to New York on business.
00:13:41Well, who does he work for?
00:13:43I don't know.
00:13:45Well, do you know what sort of business he's in?
00:13:47Oh, yes.
00:13:47He's a salesman.
00:13:49How'd you meet him?
00:13:50We used to come into the restaurant where I worked.
00:13:52How long did you know him before you got married?
00:13:54Four months.
00:13:56And how many times during these four months did you actually see him?
00:14:01Three times.
00:14:03You mean you only saw this man three times and then married him?
00:14:06Yes.
00:14:08Do you have a photo?
00:14:09No.
00:14:10Can you describe him?
00:14:11Oh, yes.
00:14:11He's 34 and about six feet tall with dark hair and dark eyes.
00:14:17Any distinguishing marks such as scars, moles, birthmarks?
00:14:22I don't know.
00:14:23I don't think so.
00:14:25How was he dressed the last time you saw him?
00:14:27Oh, he was wearing a dark suit with a white shirt and sort of a dark tie.
00:14:33Anything else you can tell me?
00:14:34You will find him, won't you?
00:14:38We'll do our best.
00:14:39But you've practically married a stranger.
00:14:42Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:14:53You want me to turn this over to the Missing Persons Bureau?
00:14:55I'll handle it.
00:14:56You?
00:14:57A telegram was sent from Philadelphia the night of the convention murder.
00:15:00You think maybe that's...
00:15:01I don't think everything.
00:15:02Chuck Western Union, Philadelphia.
00:15:04I don't think it's going to be a place to go.
00:15:18Excuse me.
00:15:21You can go, Fred.
00:15:23Go on, go ahead.
00:15:24You don't have to stay here with me.
00:15:26I have no place to go.
00:15:29I know you better.
00:15:30Ah, this is like old times back in Grantsville.
00:15:37I don't know what I'm going to do, Fred.
00:15:38I can't go back to Grantsville.
00:15:40You don't have to, Millie.
00:15:41New York's a big place.
00:15:42I can't stay here.
00:15:44I'll be looking for him every place I go.
00:15:48The places are all alike, Millie.
00:15:49You can't run away from yourself.
00:15:51Hello?
00:15:52Hello?
00:15:53Hello?
00:15:54Hello?
00:15:55Hello?
00:15:56Hello?
00:15:57Hello?
00:15:58Hello?
00:15:59Hello?
00:16:00Hello?
00:16:01Hello?
00:16:02Hello?
00:16:03Hello?
00:16:04Oh, Paul?
00:16:05Oh, darling, it's so good to hear your voice.
00:16:06Hello?
00:16:07Oh, where are you?
00:16:08What's happened?
00:16:09Come right over, darling, right away.
00:16:15But why?
00:16:18Why?
00:16:22Tomorrow?
00:16:25I'll come to you, darling.
00:16:26Tell me where.
00:16:27Please, please, Paul.
00:16:32Go on a seventh and bleaker.
00:16:35I'm leaving right away.
00:16:36I'm leaving right away.
00:16:39Bye, darling.
00:16:45Why don't they come here?
00:16:46I don't know.
00:16:47I don't care.
00:16:51Seventh and bleaker isn't a very healthy neighborhood.
00:16:53I'd better come along.
00:16:54No, thanks, Fred.
00:17:06I couldn't let you come here.
00:17:07Oh, Fred.
00:17:08I couldn't let you come here.
00:17:09He's in there.
00:17:10Oh, Fred.
00:17:11I couldn't let you come along.
00:17:12He's in there.
00:17:13Oh, Fred.
00:17:35I couldn't let you come along.
00:17:37He's in there.
00:17:38In there.
00:17:43He's gone.
00:17:46Who's gone?
00:17:48It's a different man.
00:17:52You sure you saw him?
00:17:54Well, he was sitting right in that chair.
00:17:59Come on, we'll get a cab.
00:18:08Good morning.
00:18:10Good morning.
00:18:11Oh, Mr. Graham.
00:18:11You're looking for Mrs. Baxter.
00:18:13She just checked out.
00:18:14That's right.
00:18:15Just about five minutes ago.
00:18:16Did she leave any forwarding address?
00:18:18No.
00:18:19Did anyone come for her?
00:18:21No.
00:18:22There was a telephone call, though,
00:18:23just a few minutes before she checked out.
00:18:25Thanks.
00:18:25Thanks.
00:18:26I'm going to see you tonight.
00:18:26Thanks.
00:18:29Good morning.
00:18:34I'm very much out of me.
00:18:41Hello, Mellie.
00:19:08Hello, Mellie.
00:19:19Hello, Mellie.
00:19:23Oh, Paul.
00:19:25Paul, darling.
00:19:27I've been so worried, so upset. Why didn't you meet me?
00:19:30Now, now, baby.
00:19:32There's nothing to be worried and upset about.
00:19:35Everything is all right.
00:19:43Sure.
00:19:48Why didn't you meet me last night?
00:19:51Well, I asked you to come by yourself last night, Mellie.
00:19:55Oh, that was Fred.
00:19:57He's staying at the show, and I used to know him in Grantsville.
00:20:00I think I told you about him.
00:20:02He used to go through there on business.
00:20:03Does he know where you are now?
00:20:05I...
00:20:07You told me not to tell anyone.
00:20:14Why don't you let the sun in?
00:20:17Do you know something?
00:20:34I haven't had a thing to eat since night before last.
00:20:38I'm starving.
00:20:39Well, I'm sorry there isn't a thing in a place to eat.
00:20:41Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:20:42I know.
00:20:43I'll go out and buy something.
00:20:44I'll be right back.
00:20:45I'll be right back.
00:21:15Well, what?
00:21:25Paul.
00:21:27Paul!
00:21:36I thought you were out.
00:21:40No.
00:21:41You look nice.
00:21:51Oh, Paul, the person who lived here before left his card in our mailbox.
00:21:55No, he didn't.
00:21:56But the name is more on our box.
00:21:58Well, I use that name sometimes.
00:22:01Why?
00:22:03Huh?
00:22:03Why?
00:22:05Business reasons.
00:22:09Who's that?
00:22:10I don't know who was here when I moved in.
00:22:19Here.
00:22:24Well, let's go.
00:22:26Go?
00:22:27Go where?
00:22:28I just got the groceries.
00:22:29We're going to eat.
00:22:29The groceries will keep.
00:22:30I've decided to take you out and feed you.
00:22:32But...
00:22:33And then you, Hick, I'm going to show you the city of New York.
00:22:37Oh, that's wonderful.
00:22:38Wonderful.
00:22:39I want to see all of New York.
00:22:42And...
00:22:42Do you know what I'd like to do after that?
00:22:44What?
00:22:46I'd like to see Coney Island.
00:22:48Coney Island?
00:22:49All right.
00:22:52Then we will see Coney Island, too.
00:22:54Oh, thank you.
00:22:56All right.
00:23:00I want to see.
00:23:07Oh, bye.
00:23:09Bye.
00:23:09Bye.
00:23:09Bye.
00:23:10Bye.
00:23:12Bye.
00:23:13Bye.
00:23:13Bye.
00:23:16Bye.
00:23:24Bye.
00:23:25Step right up, ladies and gentlemen.
00:23:41Step right up and meet Hugo, the mental marvel.
00:23:45Don't only be educated, but amused also.
00:23:49Now, ladies and gentlemen, step right up and come in a little closer, please.
00:23:52Each and every one of you.
00:23:54For ten cents, one thin dime, the tenth part of the dollar, I'll tell you who you are and what you do in free guesses.
00:24:03Nothing embarrassing.
00:24:05I'll try it.
00:24:06Thank you, madam. Thank you.
00:24:11Now, I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:24:14If I don't guess in free guesses, this beautiful prize is yours absolutely free of charge.
00:24:21Yes, that's me.
00:24:24Ah, let me see. Let me see.
00:24:28She's a pianist, right?
00:24:30No.
00:24:31Now, who's next? Don't be bashful. Don't be bashful.
00:24:45Don't be bashful. Don't be bashful. Remember, folks, it's entertainment and it's also education.
00:25:03I want to try.
00:25:05Thank you so much.
00:25:08You were just married. Next.
00:25:10As a wedding present to this young couple, I am going to guess what this young man does absolutely free of charge.
00:25:23Step right up, brother.
00:25:24Come on.
00:25:27It's just a little entertainment.
00:25:29Hugo won't hurt you.
00:25:30He's a reporter, right?
00:25:34No.
00:25:37He's a lawyer, right?
00:25:39Nope.
00:25:41He works in a bank, right?
00:25:44No.
00:25:47I can't guess what you do.
00:25:50It's the first time I've ever missed, stranger.
00:25:51Here you are.
00:25:52Well, everybody is up to have a miss now and then.
00:26:07Paul.
00:26:09Yeah?
00:26:10I'd like to invite someone to dinner.
00:26:13Who?
00:26:14Fred Graham. I told you about him. He's...
00:26:16Yes, I remember him.
00:26:20Hey, give me my mark.
00:26:21No, it's my marble.
00:26:24No!
00:26:27Kids squabbling over marbles.
00:26:30Twenty years from now, they'll still be squabbling.
00:26:32But over money instead of marbles.
00:26:35People don't change much, do they?
00:26:37Will Tuesday be all right?
00:26:39I'd rather you didn't, Millie.
00:26:41But I owe an awful lot to Fred.
00:26:44Well, maybe you do, but...
00:26:46I don't want him over.
00:26:50I do.
00:26:51I don't.
00:26:57Come on over here.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:03I'm mad.
00:27:16You know that, don't you?
00:27:16You're still mad?
00:27:32A little.
00:27:33The Philadelphia silk stocking murder.
00:27:37What did you say?
00:27:39Nothing.
00:27:41Jacob Houser, hotel bartender, who can identify the killer, has left Philadelphia for an undisclosed destination.
00:27:48Jacob Houser's sole witness is immediately...
00:27:50Where are you going?
00:27:52I've got to make a call, Millie.
00:27:54I'll see you later.
00:28:03I tell you, he tried to kill me.
00:28:05It only missed me by that much.
00:28:08I tell you, he tried to kill me.
00:28:09Well, it might have been accidental.
00:28:11Did you get a look at the man who was driving the truck?
00:28:13No.
00:28:14But why should anyone want to murder me?
00:28:17Maybe you know too much.
00:28:18You mean...
00:28:19Well, it's a pity that you can't remember the name of the hotel.
00:28:23Well, like I said, I caught a peek at the guy's suitcase when he left the bar with Prescott.
00:28:27The label said hotel something or other.
00:28:32New York City.
00:28:33That's what it said.
00:28:34That's what it said.
00:28:36Can't you tell me something more about the man?
00:28:39Well, like I said, he was a salesman of some kind.
00:28:44He was around six foot tall.
00:28:47He had dark hair, dark eyes, and he had on a dark suit.
00:28:50Dark eyes, dark hair, and a dark suit.
00:28:53There are thousands of men who fit that description here in New York.
00:28:56Yeah.
00:28:57That makes it tough.
00:28:59If you could only remember that hotel label on the killer's suitcase.
00:29:05I can't.
00:29:10I can't.
00:29:12I can't.
00:29:13Your life may depend on it.
00:29:16I can't.
00:29:19I can't.
00:29:19I can't.
00:29:20Your life may depend on it.
00:29:23That's it.
00:29:28Sure, well, that's it.
00:29:30Are you sure?
00:29:31Sure.
00:29:31She checked out early yesterday morning.
00:29:50Did her husband ever show up?
00:29:51No, not that I know of.
00:29:53Was Mrs. Baxter friendly with anyone in the hotel?
00:29:56Yes.
00:29:57Fred Graham.
00:29:58I think you'll find him downstairs in the...
00:30:01Oh, the city's a nice place to live in, all right.
00:30:09But I'll take a home in the country any time.
00:30:11Well, no, that depends upon what you call living.
00:30:13Well, you can't raise kids in the city.
00:30:15Why do you know everybody isn't married?
00:30:18Everyone should be.
00:30:20Well, sometimes things just don't work out the way you peg it.
00:30:23Well, the whole ball game's coming along.
00:30:26They're playing a doubleheader today.
00:30:28We've still got time to see the second game.
00:30:30I'd sure like to see it.
00:30:32Let's go.
00:30:33No, I've got to get back to headquarters.
00:30:35You're going to get a rub down?
00:30:37Oh, I might as well.
00:30:38Come on.
00:30:42I can't promise you anything as exciting as the ball game, Mr. Graham,
00:30:45but I think you'll get a kick out of this.
00:30:46Make yourself at home.
00:30:47This is a case I'd worked on a couple of years ago.
00:30:57Albert Foster.
00:30:58He was a mild little sales clerk who wouldn't harm a soul.
00:31:01He was pulling down 35 a week, and he was happy with it.
00:31:04And then, one day, Albert fell in love.
00:31:08Cute kid.
00:31:09Albert talked Dolly into marrying him.
00:31:12Promised to the moon, told he was making big money.
00:31:15In order to make good in his promises,
00:31:16Albert stayed late at the store one night
00:31:18when everyone had gone home.
00:31:20Everyone but Albert's employer,
00:31:22Mr. Simmons.
00:31:24And while the boss was figuring up the day's takings,
00:31:26Albert sneaked up behind him
00:31:27and hit him over the head with a fire axe.
00:31:29He hit him three times, Mr. Graham,
00:31:31splitting the skull wide open.
00:31:33And then Albert grabbed the money,
00:31:35left town taking Dolly with him.
00:31:37Did you ever catch him?
00:31:39Yes.
00:31:40We caught him.
00:31:42After he'd killed three more people with the same axe.
00:31:46Robert Fiske.
00:31:49Herbert Keynes.
00:31:51Ernest Boyd.
00:31:56Well, you tell a good story, Lieutenant.
00:31:58I had a good reason, Mr. Graham.
00:32:01I dare say you've read about the silk stocking murder in Philadelphia.
00:32:04Mm-hmm.
00:32:05Killer got away with $10,000.
00:32:08A man who murders once for money
00:32:09will go on murdering for money like Albert Foster.
00:32:11Yes, I suppose.
00:32:15Where's Mrs. Baxter?
00:32:19I don't know.
00:32:21The desk clerk said you were pretty friendly with her.
00:32:24You sure you don't know where she is?
00:32:27I told you I didn't.
00:32:29I haven't finished.
00:32:30Do you mind?
00:32:32There's one more slide.
00:32:33There's one more slide.
00:32:34There's one more slide.
00:32:35There's one more slide.
00:32:36Sidney Johnson.
00:32:38The friend who covered up for Albert Foster.
00:32:42Sidney told us that Albert left the store with him at six o'clock.
00:32:45That held us up long enough for Albert to commit three more murders.
00:32:49Good day, Mr. Graham.
00:32:56Fred!
00:32:57What are you doing here?
00:32:59I thought I'd drop in and tell the lieutenant I found Paul.
00:33:02Let's get out of here.
00:33:03Let's get out of here.
00:33:04He wanted to know where you were living.
00:33:08But didn't you tell him I found Paul?
00:33:11Well, I think he wants him for another reason.
00:33:13What other reason?
00:33:16What other reason?
00:33:18Well, it was some sort of trouble in Philadelphia.
00:33:21What kind of trouble?
00:33:23He didn't say.
00:33:26Well, whatever it is, I'm sure Paul had nothing to do with it.
00:33:29Of course he didn't.
00:33:30Millie, hasn't Paul told you anything?
00:33:37Well, he's worried about something.
00:33:40He doesn't want to talk about it.
00:33:44Where does Paul work?
00:33:46The Anderson Shirt Company.
00:33:48Oh, Anderson.
00:33:49They're right up the street from us.
00:33:51Listen, I'll check with them and see if I can find anything out.
00:33:54Where can I reach it, Mike?
00:33:56I'll call you.
00:33:57Okay, Millie.
00:33:58Anytime after eight.
00:34:03Do you like it?
00:34:05It was a bargain.
00:34:06I know I shouldn't have, but...
00:34:08Well, I can take it back.
00:34:13Keep it.
00:34:14It's nice.
00:34:15Do you really like it?
00:34:16Are you sure?
00:34:17I'm sure.
00:34:18I really like it.
00:34:20Certainly took you a long time to find it, though.
00:34:22I spend most of the time window shopping.
00:34:25I ran into Fred Graham.
00:34:26I didn't tell him where we live.
00:34:29Oh, here, let me...
00:34:32When will you be leaving town?
00:34:39Fred can hardly wait, huh?
00:34:41Oh, seriously, Paul.
00:34:43Can't you take me with you?
00:34:45Seriously, I can't take you with me.
00:34:47Why not?
00:34:47Oh, love, sweetie, you know I can't drag you all over the country,
00:34:51eating in one-arm joints and sleeping in third-rate hotels.
00:34:54But can't you take me along when you make the big cities like Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia?
00:34:59That's not my territory.
00:35:01Oh, but that telegram you sent me, wasn't that from Philadelphia?
00:35:04Oh, for sure.
00:35:05I wrote that between trains passing through.
00:35:08Oh.
00:35:09Look, let's get out of here.
00:35:11Have dinner and take in a movie.
00:35:13All right, I'm ready.
00:35:14Get your coat.
00:35:14Here we go.
00:35:30That was a good show.
00:35:37I'll, too, please.
00:35:39We're getting all right at the finish, you know.
00:35:44Oh, thank you.
00:35:46I'm sure we'll see you again.
00:35:50The real thing, Mike,
00:35:51I haven't much time to put it over,
00:35:52but I'm going to try like this.
00:36:11Hello?
00:36:12Oh, Millie?
00:36:13Yeah.
00:36:15I checked with the Anderson Shirt Company.
00:36:16They haven't got a thing against Paul.
00:36:17He was one of their best men.
00:36:18Oh, no.
00:36:18What do you mean, he was?
00:36:25Well, he gave up his job a few days ago.
00:36:28Yeah, that's right.
00:36:30No, they can't understand why he just mailed them a...
00:36:32Well, a bunch of orders from stores
00:36:33they've been trying to get for years.
00:36:35Yeah, I know them myself.
00:36:36They're the best accounts in Philadelphia.
00:36:40Oh, no.
00:36:42I'll never meet it.
00:36:48I'll never meet it.
00:37:18Do you have a Philadelphia paper?
00:37:30No, we ain't got them.
00:37:31Are you sure?
00:37:32Yeah, pretty sure.
00:37:34Could you look?
00:37:36That's it.
00:37:41August 12th.
00:37:43No, we ain't got that one.
00:37:46Would you please look?
00:37:47August 12th.
00:37:51August 12th.
00:38:07You want coffee?
00:38:12What'll it be?
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:13Nothing.
00:38:15Nothing.
00:38:15Nothing.
00:38:16Nothing.
00:38:44Paper, mister?
00:38:44Do you have a Philadelphia paper?
00:38:46August 12th.
00:38:57I got your call, Millie.
00:38:58What's up?
00:39:01Oh, yes.
00:39:01I know about that.
00:39:02Blake told me.
00:39:03What did they?
00:39:04Nothing.
00:39:05Nothing.
00:39:05I felt there was something wrong, but nothing like this.
00:39:14Hasn't he told you anything?
00:39:16I didn't ask him.
00:39:18You mean to tell me you made up your mind just from reading this paper?
00:39:24I found that.
00:39:25All right.
00:39:25All right.
00:39:26All right.
00:39:26So he is a clothing salesman.
00:39:29So were a million other guys.
00:39:30He told you he wasn't in Philadelphia the other day, and I found out that he was.
00:39:34But he was in the hotel.
00:39:35Yes, but when?
00:39:36I carried match ballers around with me for months.
00:39:38He changed his name.
00:39:39Why should he do that?
00:39:40There could be a hundred reasons.
00:39:42I know you put each one of these little things together, and they make it airtight.
00:39:46But you take each one separately.
00:39:47You find a simple answer.
00:39:48You think he's the man they're looking for, don't you?
00:39:59I'm going to find out.
00:40:01Millie, let me have your telephone number.
00:40:04I'll call you in half an hour and see if everything's all right.
00:40:07It's Parkview, 34608.
00:40:10The Windsor Apartments on 12th Street, Apartment C.
00:40:15Millie.
00:40:16That letter I wrote you.
00:40:19What letter?
00:40:21The one I mailed to Grantsville.
00:40:23The one I wrote before I knew you were married.
00:40:28I'll call you in half an hour.
00:40:29Actors.
00:40:31The one I wrote you in half an hour.
00:40:47Oh, yes.
00:40:48Oh, yes.
00:40:51Murderer! Murderer!
00:41:08I'll tell you what he is and what he is, he's a murderer!
00:41:21Murderer! Murderer! Murderer!
00:41:41Murderer! Murderer!
00:41:51Murderer!
00:42:07You headache any better?
00:42:10I couldn't figure out what happened to you.
00:42:13I bought a paper. A Philadelphia paper.
00:42:19Haven't you anything to say?
00:42:26Haven't you anything to say?
00:42:29Just going away?
00:42:34On another business trip?
00:42:38No, for good.
00:42:41Hello?
00:42:44Yes?
00:42:46Yes, I'll do that.
00:42:51The call was for you. He said he'd call back.
00:42:57The call was for you. He said he'd call back.
00:43:27Home!
00:43:37Where is he?
00:43:38I don't know.
00:43:40I'm trying to keep you out of this, Mrs. Baxter.
00:43:43I'm not asking you to help us, but don't help him.
00:43:46There is something you can do.
00:43:58Thank you, Mrs. Baxter.
00:44:16Why did you come back?
00:44:34I never got out.
00:44:36You can't stay here.
00:44:37Yes, I know.
00:44:38I won't get you into any further trouble.
00:44:41I wasn't thinking of myself.
00:44:44You said that is how you meant it.
00:44:47I don't.
00:44:50Where are you going?
00:44:53What's the difference?
00:44:55I wouldn't ask if I didn't care.
00:44:58They're still out there.
00:45:00You'd better go now.
00:45:02I'll meet you at 7th and Bleecker.
00:45:05Go ahead. They won't stop you.
00:45:31Good evening.
00:45:44The guy we want.
00:45:46You can always spot him.
00:45:47Just like this guy, Baxter.
00:45:55Millie.
00:45:57Oh, Paul.
00:46:01Will you follow me?
00:46:03No.
00:46:04You know, they're not so dumb.
00:46:06They figured that it would be easier to spot us together.
00:46:09Do you want to go on alone?
00:46:12No.
00:46:15How did you know that they wouldn't follow me?
00:46:18When Blake asked for your photograph, I gave him the one on the mantelpiece.
00:46:30What time does the car leave for Dallas?
00:46:46There ain't no car leaving for Dallas tonight.
00:46:48Is there any car leaving tonight?
00:46:59For where?
00:47:00Anywhere.
00:47:02On the way to Dallas.
00:47:05Well, there's a car leaving for Louisville.
00:47:08Tonight?
00:47:09Should have been here 20 minutes ago.
00:47:12Is there room for two?
00:47:14Two?
00:47:15My husband and I.
00:47:17That'll be $10 apiece.
00:47:18Don't I get any tickets?
00:47:28No tickets.
00:47:30Just take a seat till the car gets here.
00:47:36That's good.
00:47:38Sit down.
00:47:48How many for Louisville?
00:48:08Sure, him and them too.
00:48:15Let's go.
00:48:18Let's go.
00:48:23Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:48:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:49:23Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:49:29Top a car.
00:49:35I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:50:05I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:50:35I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:51:05I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:51:35I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:05I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:37I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:39I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:41I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:43That will be next time.
00:52:45I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:47I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:49I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:51I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:53I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:55I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:57I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:52:59I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:01I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:03I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:05I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:07I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:09I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:11I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:13I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:18I'll keep driving and don't stop.
00:53:22I'm looking for a room.
00:53:36What do you want?
00:53:38I'm looking for a room.
00:53:41You alone?
00:53:43Yes.
00:53:45Right this way.
00:53:52Well?
00:54:05How much is it?
00:54:06Any luggage?
00:54:08My bags are at the depot.
00:54:10Well then you'll have to pay a week in advance.
00:54:11That's five dollars.
00:54:17No cooking.
00:54:22Yeah.
00:54:23Let's go.
00:54:24I need a dog.
00:54:25I need a dog.
00:54:31Let's go.
00:54:32With your clothes, meu.
00:54:33I need a dog.
00:54:46You have only beadmas.
00:54:47Where can you find a dog or fish ostracate?
00:54:49Well, we'll be safe here overnight, anyway.
00:55:09It's not a pretty story, is it?
00:55:19You'd better lie down.
00:55:22Get some rest.
00:55:28Mellie, there's something I've got to tell you.
00:55:36Tell me in the morning, darling.
00:55:38No, I've got to tell you now.
00:55:44You know, it's funny how things work out sometimes, isn't it?
00:55:49How everything...
00:55:54Well, sometimes things completely change in a single night.
00:55:59Now, you go along for years, batting your brains out for...
00:56:03$50 a week.
00:56:05And that $50 seems like, well, just about the most important thing in the world to you.
00:56:11And then suddenly, you meet a guy that carries...
00:56:15$10,000.
00:56:17I'd carry 10 times that much without losing a dime.
00:56:20I don't believe in banks, you see?
00:56:22I tried once.
00:56:24$10,000, Mellie.
00:56:28$10,000, Mellie.
00:56:32$10,000.
00:56:35And there it was, lying on the floor, right in front of me.
00:56:38And I was worried about your coming to New York.
00:56:41I was... I was worried about, you know, how I was going to take care of you.
00:56:45And how we'd make out together.
00:56:46It didn't seem right that a man like that should have all that money.
00:56:55And I...
00:56:57I may have wanted his money.
00:57:00But...
00:57:02I didn't kill him.
00:57:03I didn't kill him.
00:57:08I didn't, Mellie. I didn't kill him.
00:57:11Why did you hide?
00:57:15Well, who'd believe me?
00:57:33I didn't kill him.
00:57:47What are they doing to him?
00:57:49I... I don't know.
00:57:54Will you let me see him?
00:57:56I... I ain't got no say here.
00:58:00Aren't you a detective?
00:58:01No, I'm... I'm only a bartender.
00:58:07You're Jacob Hauser.
00:58:10I'm sorry, Mrs. Baxter.
00:58:13All I...
00:58:14All I did was tell him the truth.
00:58:16I'm not blaming you.
00:58:20You... been married long?
00:58:23Five weeks tomorrow.
00:58:27Mrs. Baxter.
00:58:29You can go.
00:58:31Oh, can't I see him?
00:58:32Not right now.
00:58:34When?
00:58:35Tomorrow, maybe.
00:58:36Excuse me?
00:58:37Oh, good evening.
00:58:41Good evening.
00:58:42Is, uh, Mr. Graham in?
00:58:43He's on the roof guard.
00:58:44Shall I connect you?
00:58:45Uh, no, no, I'll go up.
00:58:46Oh, Mrs. Baxter.
00:58:47Yes?
00:58:48Uh, letter for you.
00:58:49Letter?
00:58:50Yes, uh, forwarded from Grantsville.
00:58:51Oh, French letter.
00:58:52Oh, French letter.
00:58:53Roof garden, please.
00:58:54Roof garden, please.
00:58:55Roof garden, please.
00:58:56Roof garden, please.
00:58:57Roof garden, please.
00:58:58Roof garden, please.
00:59:00Oh, French letter.
00:59:01Oh, French letter.
00:59:03Roof garden, please.
00:59:05Oh, French letter.
00:59:09Roof garden, please.
00:59:13Roof garden, please.
00:59:34Well, how'd things go?
00:59:36I couldn't see it.
00:59:38Too windy for you up here?
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:43Oh, your letter came.
00:59:50Let me have it.
00:59:51Let me read it.
00:59:52No, you don't want to know.
00:59:53No, please.
01:00:13Hotel Philadelphia.
01:00:17Hotel Philadelphia.
01:00:17Oh, dear.
01:00:34That present. It was a pair of silk stockings. You never sent them. You were in the Hotel
01:00:57Philadelphia that night. The night Prescott was... Fred. You. No, I understand. You weren't trying to find Paul for me, but for the police. That's why you took me to Lieutenant Blake instead of the Missing Persons Bureau. I know. You stopped me from telling Blake I found Paul. You wanted this letter. You had to get a hold of it before I found out what happened in the hotel.
01:01:27Don't you see? He did it, not Paul. I'd have to have more than your word for it, Mrs. Braxton. But the stocking, that letter. There's no mention here of any stockings. It just says that present, I promised you. Doesn't mean a thing.
01:01:41Well, there must be some way I can prove it. Something. We haven't found the money yet. Don't be too hopeful. Have a car ready. There's no use in your waiting. You go on home. If there's anything, I'll call you.
01:01:56There's nothing.
01:01:58There's nothing.
01:02:00There's nothing.
01:02:03Well, come in, Lieutenant. I've been expecting.
01:02:33Wait here.
01:02:39Mr. Graham, did you promise Mrs. Baxter a pair of silk stockings?
01:02:42Yes, I did.
01:02:44But I couldn't get them.
01:02:46What about your letter?
01:02:48Well, I got us something else instead.
01:02:50It was sort of supposed to be a surprise.
01:02:53May I see it?
01:02:54Sure.
01:02:55Do you mind if we search the room?
01:03:03Go ahead.
01:03:04If you find $10,000, I'll split everything.
01:03:07Come in, boys.
01:03:08Shall we wait in the hall?
01:03:10I don't like this any more than you, Mr. Graham, but we have to follow up every lead.
01:03:16Oh, I understand.
01:03:17You know, you'd be surprised how much it takes to convict a murderer.
01:03:20You have a jury of 12 ordinary people.
01:03:23They've never even seen a murderer.
01:03:25They expect some wild-eyed maniac will run in his hands.
01:03:29And when you show them someone who looks the same as they, they just don't believe you.
01:03:32That's why we have to clear up all the loose ends.
01:03:35So it's airtight.
01:03:36Am I keeping you from something?
01:03:37Well, I'd like to catch the 1115.
01:03:38I'm due in Atlanta on Thursday.
01:03:39You'll make it.
01:03:40You take that Albert Foster.
01:03:41I showed you his picture.
01:03:42Why did we have a time convicting him?
01:03:43And with four bodies to show, too.
01:03:44There was one old lady on the jury who tied up the verdict for six days just because
01:03:48she couldn't believe a man with such a sweet smile was a killer.
01:03:51I don't know.
01:03:52I don't know.
01:03:53I don't know.
01:03:54I don't know.
01:03:55I don't know.
01:03:56I don't know.
01:03:57I don't know.
01:03:58I don't know.
01:03:59I don't know.
01:04:00I don't know.
01:04:01I don't know.
01:04:02I don't know.
01:04:03But that smile was a killer.
01:04:05Then there was Professor, uh, Professor Stanley.
01:04:09You remember him?
01:04:12Sure.
01:04:13Sure?
01:04:14Sure what?
01:04:16You were telling me about Albert Foster.
01:04:20When finished about Albert Foster, I was talking about Professor Stanley.
01:04:24Tell me about him.
01:04:25I'd like to hear.
01:04:26You're not interested.
01:04:27Sure I am.
01:04:28Tell me.
01:04:29Forget it.
01:04:33Say, do you remember that woman who poisoned Sixth Husband for their insurance?
01:04:46What was her name?
01:04:47Goldsmith.
01:04:48Emma Goldsmith.
01:04:49And the man in the case, the chauffeur, wasn't it?
01:04:52They collected over a hundred thousand dollars.
01:04:54They would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for Emma Goldsmith.
01:04:57Borden?
01:04:58Emma Borden?
01:04:59No, no.
01:05:00This was...
01:05:01You're thinking about somebody else.
01:05:02This was Goldsmith.
01:05:03I remember distinctly.
01:05:04I know a buyer in Miami named Goldsmith.
01:05:05Robert Goldsmith.
01:05:06I thought about him as soon as I read about the case.
01:05:09He took me out to his house one time.
01:05:10He's got a beautiful house on the hill.
01:05:11I'm going to look in the ocean.
01:05:12There are no hills in Miami.
01:05:13No, that's right.
01:05:14He didn't live in Miami.
01:05:15He lived just outside.
01:05:16You ought to see that house.
01:05:17That's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.
01:05:19That thing ruined it.
01:05:20It got closer.
01:05:21Hold it.
01:05:22Do you have a letter there addressed to Fred Graham, Atlanta, Georgia?
01:05:30Fred Graham?
01:05:31Fred Graham.
01:05:32Amber Crombie.
01:05:34Johnson.
01:05:36Kerch.
01:05:52Excuse me, please.
01:05:53Pardon me.
01:05:54Excuse me.
01:05:55Excuse me.
01:05:56Excuse me.
01:05:57Excuse me.
01:05:58Excuse me.
01:05:59Come in.
01:06:00Excuse me, folks.
01:06:01The train's crowded.
01:06:02I wonder if a young lady could sit here for a spell.
01:06:05Bring her in.
01:06:06Thank you, sir.
01:06:07This way, please.
01:06:08I was just married, too.
01:06:34Pardon me.
01:06:37Tell us all about it, my dear.
01:06:44Well, I was working in a restaurant, and he came in one day.
01:06:48And so he said he liked me, and that's the way it started.
01:07:07THE END
