00:02:23Oh, my God.
00:02:53Oh, my God.
00:03:15She's dead.
00:03:23She was sitting here?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:27Oh, my God.
00:03:29Oh, my God.
00:03:31Oh, my God.
00:03:33Oh, my God.
00:03:35Oh, my God.
00:03:37Oh, my God.
00:03:39Oh, my God.
00:03:41Oh, my God.
00:03:43Oh, my God.
00:03:45Oh, my God.
00:03:47Will she be sitting here?
00:03:51Yes.
00:03:55You call Inspector Street.
00:04:06Mr. Wong wist to speak to Inspector Street.
00:04:11Just a minute.
00:04:14On your phone, Captain.
00:04:17Wong speaking.
00:04:20There's been a murder in my house Street.
00:04:22What?
00:04:24I'll be right out.
00:04:25Get a squad card here.
00:04:30It'll be at Wong's.
00:04:32All right.
00:04:47Hello, Wong.
00:04:48Uh...
00:04:49Well, this is the payoff.
00:04:50Murder in the house of Mr. Wong.
00:04:53Now we've seen everything.
00:04:54Who is she?
00:04:55I haven't the least idea.
00:04:56But the crest on her ring belongs to the Sen Wang Ti family.
00:04:58She's evidently a person of high degree.
00:05:01Where were you when this happened?
00:05:02I was in the laboratory when she arrived.
00:05:03She told Willie that she had to see me.
00:05:04But then when I came in, she was dead.
00:05:05She just had time just to scribble this.
00:05:06Captain J.
00:05:07Captain J, huh?
00:05:08Hey, what's that?
00:05:09I suspect that's a poison dart that was fired right from that window.
00:05:14And I'm sorry.
00:05:15What's that?
00:05:16I can't see it.
00:05:17He's dead.
00:05:18I can't see it.
00:05:19I can't see it, huh?
00:05:20I can't see it.
00:05:21I can't see it.
00:05:22I can't see it.
00:05:23I can't see it.
00:05:24I can't see it.
00:05:25I can't see it.
00:05:26I just had time just to scribble this.
00:05:29Captain J.
00:05:31Captain J, huh?
00:05:33Hey, what's that?
00:05:35I suspect that's a poison dart that was fired right
00:05:38from that window.
00:05:40Oh, a blowgun.
00:05:42Dacoits.
00:05:43You know, South American jungle.
00:05:45No, that dart's too heavy for that.
00:05:47That was fired from a Chinese sleeve gun.
00:05:50I have one in my room.
00:05:51I'll show it to you.
00:05:56How does it work?
00:06:15You press the spring back so,
00:06:18and it's clasped round the forearm
00:06:21and released with the slightest pressure.
00:06:25Simple, isn't it?
00:06:27Yeah, simple and deadly.
00:06:31Who's that?
00:06:32I have no idea.
00:06:35Give me Brodgan, quick.
00:06:38How did you get in here?
00:06:39Look here, Bill Street.
00:06:40What are you trying to pull?
00:06:41How did you get in here?
00:06:42Through the window.
00:06:44How did you know I was here?
00:06:45I followed you here.
00:06:46Take it easy.
00:06:48Oh, look here, Bill.
00:06:49This is one of the biggest stories
00:06:50that's cracked in a long time.
00:06:51I've simply got to get it to my paper.
00:06:53How do you know it's a fake story?
00:06:55Well, Princess Lenoir murdered in the house of Mr. Wong.
00:06:59You boys!
00:07:01Sorry, Wong.
00:07:01This is more or less of a personal row.
00:07:03This is Miss Roberta Logan of the Morning Herald,
00:07:06and probably San Francisco's greatest nuisance.
00:07:08Oh, that isn't what you called me last night
00:07:09when we were having dinner.
00:07:10That has nothing to do with the newspaper
00:07:12or the police department.
00:07:13Don't you ever try to date me up again, Mr. Wong.
00:07:14I won't.
00:07:15Good.
00:07:16I believe I heard you identify this girl
00:07:18as the Princess Lenoir.
00:07:20Yeah, what do you know about her?
00:07:21Oh, I'd be a bright little girl, wouldn't I,
00:07:24to help out your half-witted department
00:07:25after being treated in this fashion.
00:07:26Look, Bobby, I'll see that you get a break on this.
00:07:29Won't you please help us, Miss Luke?
00:07:31For a gentleman, yes.
00:07:34She arrived from China on the Maidaborian
00:07:36two or three weeks ago.
00:07:37My files, Willie.
00:07:38My tribe interviewer on the boat.
00:07:41I think I remember.
00:07:43It was on the 22nd.
00:07:48Oh, now it's you.
00:07:50There we are.
00:07:52Captain Jame.
00:07:53Captain Jame.
00:07:55Captain J.
00:07:56That's the last thing she wrote before she died.
00:07:58Say, the sooner we see this bird, the better.
00:08:00Yes, I'd very much like to interview with this Captain Jame.
00:08:04Oh, Miss Logan.
00:08:06By any chance did you know where the Princess lived?
00:08:08Yes, she had an apartment in Chinatown.
00:08:111432 Grand Avenue.
00:08:13That's our next stop.
00:08:15Come on, Wong.
00:08:17Well, you're not going.
00:08:17Get Jim.
00:08:18What are you going to do?
00:08:19Will you let me go?
00:08:21Will you?
00:08:22Well, stop this, you big bad.
00:08:24You're not going to leave me chained up like this.
00:08:26I certainly am, baby, to leave and search that apartment.
00:08:28I don't want flashlight bulbs all over the place.
00:08:31Get the coroner photographers up here
00:08:32and don't let her near a phone until you hear from me.
00:08:34Come on, Wong.
00:08:34Oh, Bill Street, you're the most loathsome human being
00:08:36I've ever encountered.
00:08:38Big baboon, no!
00:08:57Who do you want to see?
00:08:58To the police.
00:08:59Captain Jame aboard?
00:09:00Yes, sir.
00:09:01I'm Captain Street of the San Francisco Police.
00:09:04This is Mr. James Lee Wong.
00:09:06I'm Captain Street of the San Francisco Police.
00:09:08This is Mr. James Lee Wong.
00:09:09How do you do, gentlemen?
00:09:10What can I do for you?
00:09:11You had a passenger on your last trip, a Princess Lin Wah.
00:09:13Yes, that's right.
00:09:14Why was she traveling on this kind of a boat?
00:09:18Well, we have a few passenger accommodations.
00:09:19We booked passage for her at the request of her brother.
00:09:21Well, that's right.
00:09:22Well, that's right.
00:09:23Well, that's right.
00:09:24I'm Captain Street of the San Francisco Police.
00:09:26This is Mr. James Lee Wong.
00:09:27How do you do, gentlemen?
00:09:28What can I do for you?
00:09:29You had a passenger on your last trip, a Princess Lin Wah.
00:09:30Yes, that's right.
00:09:31Why was she traveling on this kind of a boat?
00:09:32Well, we have a few passenger accommodations.
00:09:33We booked passage for her at the request of her brother.
00:09:34Where is he?
00:09:35Well, he's in northern China.
00:09:36Field Marshal Chang Sai.
00:09:37The San Wang tea family?
00:09:38That's the family, sir.
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:40What was she doing in this country?
00:09:41Sightseeing, I imagine.
00:09:42This is her first trip to America, I understand.
00:09:43And her last.
00:09:44She was murdered an hour ago.
00:09:45The princess murdered?
00:09:46Yes, sir.
00:09:47Yes, sir.
00:09:48What was she doing in this country?
00:09:49Sightseeing, I imagine.
00:09:50This is her first trip to America, I understand.
00:09:51And her last.
00:09:52She was murdered an hour ago.
00:09:53The Princess murdered?
00:09:54Yes, sir.
00:09:55This is her first trip to America, I understand.
00:09:57And her last.
00:09:58She was murdered an hour ago.
00:09:59The Princess murdered?
00:10:00Well, this will be a great shock to her brother.
00:10:03Have you any idea who might have done this?
00:10:05Could one of your passengers have a motive?
00:10:07Not that I know of.
00:10:08What type of passenger were you carrying?
00:10:10Well, we had a few returning missionaries,
00:10:12a commercial traveler or two,
00:10:14or one or two tourists.
00:10:15But she didn't mingle very much with them.
00:10:17Have you left the boat in the past few hours?
00:10:19No, I haven't, sir.
00:10:20Have you a crew and passenger list you could let me have?
00:10:22I certainly have.
00:10:23Sorry to have bothered you, Captain.
00:10:26Not at all.
00:10:53He never batted an eye, did he?
00:10:57We'll check on him at the headquarters.
00:11:19Well, who are they?
00:11:20Police.
00:11:22What?
00:11:23Isn't one of them Chinese?
00:11:24Yes, a Chinese detective.
00:11:25What do they want?
00:11:26Well, you ought to know what they want.
00:11:28What do you mean?
00:11:29Of course, you don't know the Princess was murdered.
00:11:31Murdered?
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33What did you kill her for, Jackson?
00:11:35Are you crazy?
00:11:36Well, I haven't seen the Princess since, well, yesterday afternoon.
00:11:40Did he get a check?
00:11:41Yes.
00:11:42How much?
00:11:43$250,000.
00:11:44And my share?
00:11:45Now, look here, Jackson.
00:11:46I'm in this thing as deep as you are.
00:11:48She charged the ship for the airplanes.
00:11:50I put her in touch with you, told her you'd flown as an aviator with her brother in China.
00:11:54I planned this whole deal.
00:11:55All right, I know it.
00:11:56You'll get your share.
00:11:57Where is the money?
00:11:58In the bank.
00:11:59I'll see you there at 10 o'clock in the morning.
00:12:01All right.
00:12:02Pretty clever, Jackson, killing the Princess.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:06No witnesses to say where the planes were delivered or not where the money went?
00:12:10You're a pretty clever guy, Jamie.
00:12:12Good night.
00:12:35Let's go.
00:14:35This is the place.
00:15:09Check those apartments.
00:15:14Yes, sir.
00:15:15I think this one is open straight.
00:15:17Anybody in there?
00:15:25See if you can find anything with the princess's name on it.
00:15:37Well, somebody's here or has been here.
00:15:41Perhaps this is for you to bid our first stop.
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:49Check that closet, Jerry.
00:15:50What was it, Jerry?
00:16:02Wong!
00:16:04Poor kid's out cold.
00:16:13Bobby!
00:16:14Bobby!
00:16:15Did you catch him?
00:16:16Catch who?
00:16:17Well, the man that slugged me.
00:16:18Say, if somebody slugged you, I'd give him a medal.
00:16:19A suitcase fell on your head.
00:16:20Oh.
00:16:21How'd you get loose?
00:16:22The nice man that you left to guard me went to get me a drink of water.
00:16:23Wasn't that sweet of him?
00:16:24Arm in the chair came off easy.
00:16:25How did you get in here?
00:16:26Took the key out of the princess's purse.
00:16:27I'm afraid, Street, we must accept the inevitable.
00:16:28Yeah.
00:16:29What were you doing in the closet?
00:16:30Well, there was a man in here.
00:16:31A man?
00:16:32Well, sure, he was searching the desk.
00:16:33What did he look like?
00:16:34He was masked.
00:16:35That's our murder.
00:16:36That's our murder.
00:16:37That's our murder.
00:16:38That's our murder.
00:16:39That's our murder.
00:16:40Can't you give us any kind of description?
00:16:41No, no.
00:16:42No, no.
00:16:43No, no.
00:16:44No, no.
00:16:45No, no.
00:16:46No, no.
00:16:47No, no.
00:16:48No, no.
00:16:49No, no, no.
00:16:50No, no.
00:16:51No, no, no.
00:16:52No, no.
00:16:53No, no.
00:16:54No, no, no.
00:16:55No, no.
00:16:56Was there any kind of a description?
00:16:57Well, he was fairly tall, looked athletic, and he wore dark glasses.
00:17:01Wonderful.
00:17:02That's a hell.
00:17:03Did you see where he went?
00:17:05How could I when I was knocked out?
00:17:07Uh...
00:17:10Street.
00:17:19All right, put on that gun.
00:17:20This is the police.
00:17:21The police?
00:17:27What do you want?
00:17:28Don't be alarmed.
00:17:29We just want to ask you a few questions.
00:17:32Who are you?
00:17:36Oh, come on.
00:17:37What's your name?
00:17:38I know her.
00:17:39Oh.
00:17:45All right.
00:17:46Who is she?
00:17:47She's gone about with the princess.
00:17:48Has her maid?
00:17:51I am her companion.
00:17:53Oh.
00:17:54So you were in her confidence?
00:17:56Yes.
00:17:57Oh.
00:17:58No, no.
00:17:59Now, don't be afraid.
00:18:01Why did she come to this country?
00:18:06I don't know anything.
00:18:07Nobody knows anything.
00:18:09Well, at least you can remember what time she left here.
00:18:12Oh.
00:18:13About eight o'clock tonight.
00:18:14And where was she going?
00:18:18What has happened to her?
00:18:19Oh, you expect something to happen to her, huh?
00:18:21You knew something was going to happen.
00:18:22No.
00:18:23Tell me, please.
00:18:24She's dead.
00:18:25Murdered.
00:18:26Now, all we are doing is just to try to help you.
00:18:27Who came to see her here?
00:18:28Who were her friends?
00:18:29She had no visitors.
00:18:30She made appointments.
00:18:31They were always down for her.
00:18:32She's dead.
00:18:33No.
00:18:34No.
00:18:35No.
00:18:36No.
00:18:37No.
00:18:38No.
00:18:39No.
00:18:40No.
00:18:41No.

00:19:01No.
00:19:02No.
00:19:03No.
00:19:04No.
00:19:09Wait a minute.
00:19:16All right.
00:19:21Wait a minute.
00:19:23Who are you looking for?
00:19:26He can hear, but he cannot talk.
00:19:29He is dumb.
00:19:30Oh, you know him?
00:19:31Yes.
00:19:32Has he been up here to see the princess?
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35Come on.
00:19:39Where does he live?
00:19:41In the basement.
00:19:43Would you please ask him where he just came from?
00:19:46I can't speak his dialect.
00:19:49He is from northern China, her province.
00:19:52Can you tell him that the princess is dead?
00:19:55I'll try.
00:20:09Well, we understood that all right.
00:20:13Look.
00:20:14Did you see anybody come in and go over there?
00:20:27What am I doing?
00:20:29Come here.
00:20:37Did you...
00:20:39Did you do that?
00:20:41Did you do that?
00:20:43A car was waiting in the alley.
00:20:58A large car.
00:21:02A large black car.
00:21:09Hey, what is this?
00:21:11Wait a minute, Street.
00:21:12He means it was a man about your size.
00:21:22He was masked.
00:21:24And he wore glasses.
00:21:25What did I tell you?
00:21:26Masks, glasses.
00:21:27Now will you believe me?
00:21:28No, no.
00:21:29No, no.
00:21:30No, no.
00:21:31No, no.
00:21:32No, no.
00:21:33No, no.
00:21:34No, no.
00:21:35No, no.
00:21:36No, no.
00:21:37No, no.
00:21:38No, no.
00:21:39No, no.
00:21:40No, no.
00:21:41poet Was menos.
00:21:42No, no.
00:21:43magic is changed.
00:21:44Masks, glasses.
00:21:45Now will you believe me?
00:21:48Well, this isn't getting us anywhere.
00:21:50Jerry,
00:21:51you stay here till I get back.
00:21:52Don't let either one of them leave.
00:21:53No, no.
00:21:54Don't leave me, I'm afraid.
00:21:55Now there's nothing to be afraid of.
00:21:56I'll have a man on guard outside your door the whole time.
00:21:59I'm going out to the station and check on that car...
00:22:01...and also the little fella's story.
00:22:02Maybe he's telling the truth, and maybe he's not there.
00:22:05I'll see you later, Street.
00:22:07There's somebody in Chinatown I'd like to talk to first.
00:22:12Oh, Bill, do you mind dropping me at the paper?
00:22:14No. How do you feel?
00:22:15Oh, fine. Of course, I'm a little dizzy.
00:22:17You tell them me.
00:22:37I don't know.
00:23:07The Honorable Wong is here on personal business, or in his official capacity?
00:23:17I am here on behalf of the police.
00:23:23The Honorable Wong is here on personal business, or in his official capacity?
00:23:28I am here on behalf of the police.
00:23:37The Honorable Men perhaps know the Princess Lin-Wah.
00:23:48She was murdered an hour ago.
00:23:53The Honorable Men perhaps know the Princess Lin-Wah.
00:23:59She was murdered an hour ago.
00:24:04It is perhaps wise that we should open our hearts to you.
00:24:19The Princess was in this country to make purchases for her brother.
00:24:24Of war material?
00:24:26Aeroplanes.
00:24:27I see.
00:24:30Her death means that a great project has failed.
00:24:34The resources of this town are at your command.
00:24:57The Newark, the Pooh.
00:24:59The Pooh.
00:25:00The Pooh.
00:25:01The Pooh.
00:25:02Hello, Jerry.
00:25:03Anything to report?
00:25:06No, sir. Everything's as quiet as a mouse.
00:25:08Good.
00:25:12The Pooh.
00:25:13Hello, Jerry.
00:25:17Anything to report?
00:25:19No, sir. Everything's as quiet as a mouse.
00:25:21Good.
00:25:43Good.
00:26:01Are you sure nobody got in past you?
00:26:03Yeah, I was right outside the door.
00:26:05Well, did anybody leave?
00:26:07Who?
00:26:09The little guy.
00:26:13Is that for the Tesla Panconry
00:26:17didn't see the velocities left.
00:26:21All right.
00:26:23Is that for his life?
00:26:29That's right.
00:26:30Yeah.
00:26:33Yeah.
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:39We have years left.
00:26:41Another sign of it.
00:26:43Send for Street at once.
00:26:51Come on.
00:26:53Come on.
00:26:55Another sign of it.
00:26:57Send for Street at once.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:05Come on.
00:27:07Come on.
00:27:09Come on.
00:27:21Hello.
00:27:23Yes, Jerry.
00:27:25What?
00:27:27A maid.
00:27:29I'll be right out.
00:27:39Death was instantaneous.
00:27:41Same as the princess.
00:27:43But the same hand.
00:27:45That must be a powerful poison.
00:27:47We weren't able to identify it in the other case.
00:27:49But after I've made this autopsy, we may know.
00:27:53Good night, gentlemen.
00:28:03Oh, you think it came from here, huh?
00:28:05This is where he said the car was.
00:28:12Hey.
00:28:13The little guy's footprints.
00:28:17Well, get this.
00:28:21Certainly it came from here.
00:28:23Nobody but the little fellow or monkey could go down that drain pipe.
00:28:25He's our man.
00:28:27He may have been making it possible for somebody else.
00:28:29Oh, why get involved?
00:28:30Let's check his room in the basement.
00:28:34Jerry.
00:28:37I have Forbes get a cast of that print.
00:28:39Yes, sir.
00:28:55This is it.
00:29:00Where'd you get that?
00:29:10There.
00:29:11Well, that cinches it.
00:29:12That pins it on the little guy definitely.
00:29:14What are we waiting for?
00:29:17Just a minute, Street.
00:29:20He may be the killer,
00:29:21but I found out tonight
00:29:23that the princess was here buying airplanes
00:29:25that would have to be smuggled out of the country.
00:29:27Yeah?
00:29:28Oh, and the maid of the Orient.
00:29:30More than likely.
00:29:31I think we'd better talk to Captain James again.
00:29:33Sure, sure.
00:29:34I'll talk to him the first thing in the morning.
00:29:36But you'll have to admit
00:29:37that the little fellow couldn't smuggle airplanes.
00:29:39But he could climb up on a wind and use his sleeve gun.
00:29:42And he's just the kind of a guy they'd hire to do their killing.
00:29:45They're not fooling me.
00:29:47Furthermore, I think that dumb act is a gag.
00:29:58Yes?
00:29:59Let Mr. James Lee Wong see Mr. Davidson, please.
00:30:15Mr. James Lee Wong to see you.
00:30:18Yes, sir.
00:30:20Won't you come in, please?
00:30:21Thank you, sir.
00:30:22How do you do, Mr. Wong?
00:30:26Now, what can I do for you?
00:30:28I'm investigating the murder of the Princess Linoir.
00:30:30Oh, yes, I read about it.
00:30:32I was hoping you could be of some assistance to me.
00:30:34I'd be perfectly willing to do anything I can.
00:30:36Won't you sit down?
00:30:38Thank you so much.
00:30:40I understand that she was a depositor on your back.
00:30:42Quite a large depositor.
00:30:44A large depositor.
00:30:46Yes.
00:30:48When the Princess arrived from the Orient,
00:30:50she carried with her drafts on the exchange bank of Hancock
00:30:54for almost a million dollars.
00:30:56She has cashed those drafts.
00:30:58Really?
00:31:00The first sum I recall she withdrew
00:31:02was a day or so after she arrived.
00:31:04It was for $250,000.
00:31:06A cashier's check.
00:31:08That check, of course, can be traced.
00:31:10Yes.
00:31:12It was drawn in the favor of a Captain Jackson,
00:31:14who identified himself as the San Francisco representative
00:31:18of the Phelps Aviation Company of Los Angeles.
00:31:22Now, you bring me the file of the Princess Linoir, please.
00:31:27This Captain Jackson, did he cash the check himself?
00:31:31No. As a matter of fact, after he identified himself,
00:31:35he opened an account and deposited the check to his own credit.
00:31:47This is the Jackson check.
00:31:49Oh, yes. Thank you.
00:31:55Oh, evidently his office is in the Bronson building on Broad Street.
00:31:59I understand it is.
00:32:01Perhaps he could be of some assistance to you.
00:32:03No doubt.
00:32:05I take it from this that she still has a considerable sum of money on deposit with you.
00:32:11Well, uh...
00:32:14The cancelled checks that she signed in English and Chinese show
00:32:18that she drew out large amounts almost daily
00:32:20till she had, uh...
00:32:22about $38,000 left.
00:32:25That balance she drew out yesterday in cash
00:32:28and left here with the money.
00:32:30An extraordinary proceeding.
00:32:32Do you know she had any dealings with anybody else besides Captain Jackson?
00:32:38Well, nothing she ever said would indicate that she had any negotiations of any kind.
00:32:42Of course, I guess that the Princess wasn't engaged in sightseeing.
00:32:47That's obvious.
00:32:49Have you the original draft that she presented?
00:32:52Yes, I think I have.
00:32:54Yes, here it is.
00:32:57Oh, yes.
00:32:58Also signed in English and in Chinese.
00:33:01Yes.
00:33:03Hmm.
00:33:04Well...
00:33:08Oh, by the way...
00:33:10Her file would be available to the police department in the event that they should want to, uh...
00:33:14Oh, with a criminal case like this, the police have accessed the records of the bank at all times.
00:33:19Thank you so much.
00:33:20Not at all.
00:33:21I may call on you later.
00:33:22At any time, Mr. Wong. Good day.
00:33:23Good day, sir.
00:33:28Good day, sir.
00:33:29Good day, sir.
00:33:30Good day, sir.
00:33:31Good day, sir.
00:33:32Good day, sir.
00:33:33Good day, sir.
00:33:34Good day, sir.
00:33:35Good day, sir.
00:33:54Drive me to the Bronson building on Broad Street.
00:33:57Good day, sir.
00:34:00Follow that cab.
00:34:27Good day, sir.
00:34:28Get out!
00:34:29Get out!
00:34:30Get out!
00:34:31Get out!
00:34:39Get out!
00:34:40I don't know why you were trailing me, but I'm certainly very grateful.
00:34:56Well, the K-Cab Company isn't allowed to operate anymore.
00:34:58They were put out of business three months ago.
00:35:00I covered the story.
00:35:01Oh, that driver.
00:35:03He ducked down this way.
00:35:06Say, you won't go away till I come back.
00:35:08No, indeed.
00:35:10Hello.
00:35:29City desk.
00:35:31An attempt was made on the life of James Lee Wong, well-known Chinese detective, shortly
00:35:36before noon today, when he was rescued from a light sedan, camouflaged as a taxi, just
00:35:41before a bomb exploded in its interior.
00:35:44The rescue was affected by Miss Roberta Logan, reporter on the staff of the Herald.
00:35:48Yeah, that's right.
00:35:50No, I'm not kidding.
00:35:58What's the matter here?
00:35:59Oh, hello, Wong.
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:01Evidently somebody arranged a little surprise for me.
00:36:04Certainly looks like it.
00:36:07That's the real thing.
00:36:08And if it hadn't been for Miss Logan here, had it been?
00:36:10You certainly would have.
00:36:12The driver ran down the alley.
00:36:13He's blocks away now.
00:36:14Get on it, Steve.
00:36:15Come on, folks.
00:36:16That's all.
00:36:17Oh, I'd be glad to take you where you're going if you'd care to ride with me.
00:36:21I'd certainly feel much safer.
00:36:22Yes?
00:36:41Mr. Wong to see you.
00:36:43Who?
00:36:43Mr. James Lee Wong.
00:36:46Oh.
00:36:47Well, send him in just a moment.
00:36:49I'll buzz you.
00:36:52I'll buzz you.
00:37:22How do you do, Mr. Wong?
00:37:31Very nice of you to see me, Captain Jackson.
00:37:34What, do you sit down?
00:37:40Cigarette?
00:37:42Thanks.
00:37:42I will.
00:37:43I've been anticipating this interview ever since I read the newspaper reports
00:37:47that the princess was murdered in your apartment.
00:37:49You realized, of course, that we would trace the check.
00:38:00Well, we were engaged in some rather delicate negotiations.
00:38:03The sailor of some airplanes, I believe.
00:38:07She would naturally come to me.
00:38:08Her brother, Chang Sai, head of an army of one of the five provinces,
00:38:12was one of the best friends I ever had.
00:38:14I flew a plane these last campaigns.
00:38:15Really?
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:17I met the princess at the boat.
00:38:21Mr. Wong, I had just as well make a clean breast of the whole thing.
00:38:26We were to secretly ship some airplanes to China.
00:38:29On the maid of Aldian?
00:38:30And when did you see the princess last?
00:38:40I talked to her two days ago.
00:38:42We had an appointment to meet the night she was murdered.
00:38:44We were to meet in the lobby of the Palace Hotel,
00:38:47where she was to turn over my second payment.
00:38:49But she didn't keep the appointment.
00:38:50And she gave no excuse or explanation?
00:38:53I never heard from her.
00:38:55My first intermason was the shock I received when I read the morning papers.
00:38:59Yes.
00:39:00It had occurred to me, you know,
00:39:03that the cause of her death could be found in the fact that she was secretly buying airplanes.
00:39:09Well, I thought of that too, Mr. Wong.
00:39:11You see, the cause of Chang Sai has many enemies.
00:39:14His safety is threatened not only by other powers, but by many other army leaders.
00:39:19And, of course, San Francisco is filled with their agents.
00:39:21Naturally.
00:39:23As you can imagine, this situation is distinctly embarrassing to me.
00:39:27I had made commitments for a great deal of airplane equipment.
00:39:29And to put it bluntly, I am left holding the bag.
00:39:33Well, I'm obliged to you, Captain Jackson.
00:39:38Goodbye, Mr. Wong.
00:39:38I'll be delighted to help you in any way that I can.
00:39:41Goodbye.
00:39:42Good day.
00:39:42Good day.
00:39:56Good day.
00:39:57Good day.
00:40:10Anything new?
00:40:11I left a report on your desk.
00:40:16What's this report?
00:40:19Well, get this, Jerry.
00:40:21An attempt on Wong's life.
00:40:23Taxi.
00:40:24Bomb exploded.
00:40:26Hold out a cab by Roberta Logan of the Herald.
00:40:29Anything can happen with that Logan around.
00:40:32Where's Wong now?
00:40:33He took the girl and drove away in a cab.
00:40:36Well, if he's with her, you better drag to bay.
00:40:40Well, I suppose you came in for your Carnegie Medal.
00:40:45I already have a drawer full of them, Inspector.
00:40:48Uh, where'd you pick up that cab, Wong?
00:40:50I got it just in front of the specie bank of Hank Howard.
00:40:53The princess has a large sum of money on deposit.
00:40:56But she's drawn it all out recently.
00:40:58Say.
00:41:00Hey, wait a minute.
00:41:02There's a phone in the drug store.
00:41:07Will you give me an echo?
00:41:08Gladly.
00:41:14Well, now that we've gotten rid of her, what's the real lowdown?
00:41:16Well, let's hear your news first, Street.
00:41:18Well, not much.
00:41:19I've picked up half their suspicious characters in Chinatown.
00:41:21Oh, the little fella, I haven't got him yet,
00:41:23but I'll have my hands on him any minute.
00:41:25Splendid, Street.
00:41:26Now, in the meantime, I'd like you to get me a report
00:41:30on the Tokes aviation company from the Los Angeles Department.
00:41:33Oh, that's a cinch.
00:41:34I'll have it out to your house tonight.
00:41:35Thank you, Street.
00:41:36See you then.
00:41:37Yeah.
00:41:39Hello, Bailey.
00:41:40Get me the Los Angeles Police Department.
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44Hold it.
00:41:45Wait a minute.
00:41:46I'll call you back.
00:41:47What's the idea of busting in here?
00:41:49Will you lend me another nickel?
00:41:50I just gave you one.
00:41:51What'd you do with it?
00:41:52Apple Annie.
00:41:53Apple Annie.
00:41:54Here.
00:41:55All right, all right, all right.
00:41:56What did you want with the Los Angeles Police Department?
00:41:59You'll never know.
00:42:00Oh, now, look here, Bill.
00:42:01Why don't you play fair with me?
00:42:03You'd be in a pretty pickle right now if it weren't for me.
00:42:06Wong murdered.
00:42:07What would the chief and the commissioner say?
00:42:09They'd want to know why you didn't have him tailed, protected.
00:42:12That's what I was doing.
00:42:14I thought of that.
00:42:15Where did you get that idea?
00:42:17Oh, it was just a hunch.
00:42:19Look here, Logan.
00:42:20Are you holding out on me?
00:42:22Do you know something that I don't know?
00:42:24That wouldn't have to be much.
00:42:26Oh, you little shrimp.
00:42:30Scram.
00:42:34All right, get me Bailey again.
00:42:50Come on.
00:42:51Come on.
00:42:52Come on.
00:42:53Come on.
00:43:16Hello, Wong.
00:43:17Well, I've searched the whole town.
00:43:18The little fella's disappeared.
00:43:19Still no trace of him.
00:43:20I've checked every hotel in Chinatown, every rooming house.
00:43:23I've watched the waterfronts, the trains, the boats.
00:43:25He's vanished.
00:43:27Well, in view of his lack of size, of the fact that he's dumb,
00:43:32I don't understand why you can't find him.
00:43:34Oh, you don't?
00:43:35Well, I've had the smartest men in the department looking for him,
00:43:37and they can't trace him.
00:43:38Don't you think I know that he's an answer to a lot of questions?
00:43:42How about the report of that aviation company that I asked for?
00:43:46Oh, that's a fake.
00:43:47They've got an old hangar in Glendale they use for a mailing address.
00:43:53Sewers, drain pipes, manholes.
00:43:55Can you imagine me tracing the little fella through a sewer?
00:43:59A fake.
00:44:00And yet Captain Jackson was supposed to meet the princess in the lobby of Pallister Hotel the night she was murdered to receive a large sum of money from her.
00:44:09Pallister Hotel.
00:44:10Yeah, that's where James stands.
00:44:12Captain James stands.
00:44:13James.
00:44:14Jackson.
00:44:15Captain James.
00:44:16Why haven't you had the hotel watched?
00:44:19What do you think I've been doing?
00:44:21I've got a man on every floor, a sergeant behind the desk, and two of the bellboys are working for me.
00:44:25What do you want me to do, move in two?
00:44:27My dear Street, I give you my solemn word I am not deaf.
00:44:32As long as you're getting technical, Mr. Wong, the girl was killed in your house, not mine.
00:44:37You had a sleeve gun in there that could have done it.
00:44:39Technically, I should arrest you.
00:44:44I think you're right.
00:44:45Oh, cut it out, Wong.
00:44:47I'm only kidding.
00:44:48I'm all in.
00:44:49I've been up for two days and two nights and no sleep.
00:44:51The commissioner's on my neck and that girl's in my hair.
00:44:53I'm just getting punchy.
00:44:54Punchy.
00:44:55Yeah, that's it.
00:44:57That's the only place I haven't looked for the little fella in a punch board hole.
00:45:01Willie, a cup of tea for the inspector.
00:45:04Quickly.
00:45:05Tea!
00:45:06That's all I need.
00:45:07Good night.
00:45:15What's that guy?
00:45:16I see.
00:45:17Oh, no.
00:45:18Oh, that was good.
00:45:20He's telling me.
00:45:21Where's that girl?
00:45:22Hey, Bigie.
00:45:23That's all right.
00:45:24I'll tell his wife.
00:45:26You're good.
00:45:27Well, you're good.
00:45:28Hey you're good.
00:45:30Hey.
00:45:31Yeah, we're good.
00:45:32We're good.
00:45:33Hey.
00:45:35Hey, you're good.
00:45:36Hey!
00:45:37Hey, we're good.
00:45:38Hey, you're good.
00:45:39Hey, what's that guy?
00:45:40Hey, hey, I'm good.
00:45:41Hey, hi.
00:45:42Hey, you're good.
00:45:43Hey, hey, hey.
00:45:44All right, come on up, Mr. Quiet.
00:45:46Quiet.
00:45:48Yes?
00:45:50I'd like to see Mr. Davidson.
00:45:52What is his name, please?
00:45:54James Lee Wong.
00:45:58James Lee Wong to see Mr. Davidson.
00:46:02All right.
00:46:04Okay.
00:46:10All right, get back.
00:46:12Come here, Davidson.
00:46:14Come here.
00:46:25Come in, sir.
00:46:27Right in here, Mr. Wong.
00:46:31How do you do, Mr. Wong?
00:46:32How do you do, Mr. Davidson?
00:46:34I hope my dogs didn't annoy you, Mr. Wong.
00:46:37They've been rather getting out of hand at late.
00:46:39Well, they gave me a rather hearty reception, to say the least.
00:46:42Well, I'm sorry I have to keep such vicious watchdogs,
00:46:45but our bank being of international character
00:46:48and the trouble in the Far East and the large Oriental population here,
00:46:51one has to be rather careful.
00:46:53I quite understand.
00:46:54You have a drink?
00:46:56Scotch or bourbon?
00:46:57Scotch, please.
00:46:58But no ice.
00:46:59I see.
00:47:00You know, I rather hoped I'd see you soon again, Mr. Wong.
00:47:02I'm rather interested in this case.
00:47:05By the way, the cancelled checks were returned to me this morning.
00:47:09Yes.
00:47:13And they were most interesting.
00:47:15In fact, they're my only excuse for this intrusion on your privacy.
00:47:19It occurred to me that it might have been an imposter who withdrew the money
00:47:23and not the Princess at all.
00:47:25Of course, anything is possible, Mr. Wong.
00:47:27But I wouldn't like to think that I've been fooled.
00:47:29Well, I hope you're right.
00:47:32Now, what did you find out from Captain Jackson?
00:47:35He was negotiating with the Princess for the same as some airplanes.
00:47:38Hmm, I suspected that much.
00:47:40You know, her brother's army is notoriously shy in air power.
00:47:44By the way, where are the airplanes?
00:47:46What's happened to them?
00:47:47That I don't know.
00:47:49But he cashed rather a large check, which was no doubt a first payment.
00:47:52What's to be done about that?
00:47:54Well, at the moment we are only interested in discovering the murderer
00:47:59of the Princess Lenoir and her maid.
00:48:01Is Captain Jackson one of your suspects?
00:48:05I can say this much.
00:48:07Inspector Street has some extremely strong views on that point.
00:48:12Really?
00:48:14Oh, pardon me just a little.
00:48:18Hello?
00:48:20Oh, yes, Mr. Harley.
00:48:22Yes, I want quite a nice headstone.
00:48:25Oh, I see.
00:48:27Well, suppose you get some nice designs together within the next few days
00:48:30and you and I will go with them together.
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:33Well, thank you very much.
00:48:35Good-bye.
00:48:37I just have to bury one of my dogs in the local pet cemetery.
00:48:40Oh.
00:48:41He was also a great dave?
00:48:43Yes, but he got a bit too vicious.
00:48:45Bit the gardener and I had to dispose of him.
00:48:47Well, I mustn't detain you any longer.
00:48:50Oh, must you really go?
00:48:51I'm afraid so, yes.
00:48:52Oh, well, be sure and let me know of any new developments.
00:48:54Indeed I will.
00:48:55Another drink?
00:48:56Thank you, no.
00:48:57I'm afraid I've taken up too much of your time as it is.
00:49:00Oh, not at all.
00:49:02Don't fail to call on me if I can be of any help at all.
00:49:05Thank you, I will.
00:49:06Goodbye.
00:49:07Goodbye.
00:49:08Goodbye.
00:49:09Goodbye.
00:49:11Goodbye.
00:49:12Goodbye, Jesus.
00:49:13The French march-up?
00:49:14The French march-up!
00:49:16Well, brush, you won't put them in a boat, this one.
00:49:18You're worth losing.
00:49:19You'll put them all in.
00:49:21Well, burning like a �.
00:49:23Yes, sir.
00:49:24Oh, no.
00:49:26600.
00:49:27One of them?
00:49:28Cause they're joined.
00:49:30May God they wait!
00:49:31You'll put the bay on, go and put their feet.
00:49:32Good boy, it's arentay.
00:49:33Oh, my gosh.
00:49:35All right.
00:49:36Yes, sir.
00:49:37Yes, sir.
00:49:39Hear those doubts?
00:49:41Yes, sir.
00:49:42Tell John to turn them loose.
00:49:43Yes, sir.
00:50:07All right, get them up.
00:50:17All right, turn around.
00:50:19Get going.
00:50:30Leave it alone.
00:50:37Now talk and talk fast.
00:50:46Where's the rest of the princess's money?
00:50:48She drew it out.
00:50:49Quit stalling.
00:50:50Well, there's a large check drawn to Jackson's account.
00:50:54Sure there is.
00:50:55But where's the rest of it?
00:50:56Well, the detective examined all the canceled checks.
00:50:58Why won't you ask him about it?
00:51:00Good suggestion.
00:51:01Where's your telephone?
00:51:02Well, there's one in this room here.
00:51:07Now get on that phone. Call up Wong.
00:51:09The number is Major 4782.
00:51:11Well, what'll I tell him?
00:51:13Tell him you want him here right away.
00:51:14Tell him to send a car for him.
00:51:29Hello, Mr. Wong.
00:51:31This is Davidson talking.
00:51:33Could you possibly come and see me this evening?
00:51:36Why, of course, Mr. Davidson.
00:51:37I should be delighted to come.
00:51:39That's very kind of you.
00:51:41How soon will the car be here?
00:51:43Thank you so much.
00:51:48Mr. Davidson.
00:51:49Mr. Davidson.
00:51:50Something's ever happened.
00:51:51The door will tell you where you are.
00:51:52Who's this man?
00:51:54My butler.
00:51:55What's Davidson?
00:51:57What's going on?
00:51:58What's going on?
00:51:59I don't know.
00:52:00I don't know.
00:52:01The door is going on.
00:52:03You're out of there.
00:52:04You're out of there.
00:52:06I'm over there.
00:52:07I don't know.
00:52:12I don't know.
00:52:13You're out of there.
00:52:15Why?
00:52:16Nothing's over here.
00:52:17What's going on?
00:52:18There's no reason.
00:52:19I don't know.
00:52:20I don't know.
00:52:21I don't know.
00:52:22What are you doing?
00:52:23Well, that settles him.
00:52:36I took care of the dogs and locked their keeper in the garage.
00:52:38Good. Now go down and pick up Wong.
00:52:41We made Davidson phone him. He's expecting you.
00:52:44Okay, yeah.
00:52:46Hello, Bill. What's new?
00:52:48I need a story for the Bulldog edition.
00:52:51I've got nothing.
00:52:52Don't tell me that.
00:52:53Did you hear from Wong?
00:52:55No, I've been trying to get him myself all day.
00:53:00Hello.
00:53:02Who, the commissioner?
00:53:03Okay, Brady.
00:53:04All right, scram.
00:53:05Get out of here. The commissioner's on his way in.
00:53:07Well, let me stay.
00:53:08I said get out.
00:53:13Well, hello, Miss Logan.
00:53:15How are you, commissioner?
00:53:16Let me congratulate you on that smart piece of work with regard to Mr. Wong.
00:53:20If it hadn't been for you,
00:53:21we'd be minus the services of our Chinese friend.
00:53:23Oh, thank you, sir.
00:53:25I hope the department has been properly appreciated with the service you run to them.
00:53:29I imagine the members of this force
00:53:30don't fully recognize the aid and assistance they get from the newspapers of the city.
00:53:34Oh, that's really awfully kind of you.
00:53:36Well, if you ever decide to quit the newspaper game,
00:53:40we can use brains like yours.
00:53:42Oh, thank you, sir.
00:53:43Hello, commissioner.
00:53:50Street, just what is the department doing in the case of the Chinese princess?
00:53:53Well, everything we can, sir.
00:54:02You're sure we'll break the case in a couple of hours?
00:54:04I certainly hope so.
00:54:05Lovely evening.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:24We certainly could use brains like yours.
00:54:27Beat it.
00:54:29Nice man, the commissioner.
00:54:31Beat it, I said.
00:54:31Get out of here.
00:54:32Get out of here.
00:54:33Hmm.
00:54:35Jellop, huh?
00:54:42Hello.
00:54:44Wong?
00:54:46Yeah.
00:54:47Yeah, I thought you'd phone.
00:54:48Well, Street,
00:54:50I think the case is just about solved.
00:54:53No, really?
00:54:55Well, uh, well, that's fine.
00:54:57I'm going out to Davidson's now.
00:55:00I'd like you to join me there later.
00:55:01Sure, sure.
00:55:03All right, Wong.
00:55:05Yeah, good night.
00:55:06Well, what is it?
00:55:07Something's up.
00:55:07Oh, you're crazy.
00:55:08It's just a routine check.
00:55:10Oh, Bill, you know I need that story.
00:55:12I'll give you the story when I have anything to tell you.
00:55:15Here.
00:55:16Here's a burglary up on Benton Road.
00:55:19Oh, you gave me that this afternoon.
00:55:20Yeah, that's right, I did.
00:55:21Well, that's all for the night.
00:55:23Good night.
00:55:24Hmm.
00:55:25You coming?
00:55:26No, I'm going to stick around.
00:55:27I want to hear from a pawn shop detail.
00:55:29Okay.
00:55:31Well, I'll see you in the morning.
00:55:32I'm afraid so.
00:55:47My car up front?
00:55:48No, it's in the alley.
00:55:49Don't shoot.
00:56:02Why not?
00:56:03You're not putting anything over on me, Bill Street.
00:56:05What a pest.
00:56:06All right, Mr. Wong.
00:56:24You'll find Mr. Davidson inside.
00:56:25Come right in, Mr. Wong.
00:56:50Steady.
00:56:52Over there, Wong.
00:56:53That sounds like Jackson's voice.
00:56:56That's right, Mr. Wong.
00:56:57Well, Davidson, I see you have an escort, too.
00:57:01Good evening, Captain Jay.
00:57:03Hiya.
00:57:04This is not my doing, Mr. Wong.
00:57:06Oh, I gather that.
00:57:09I find the walk from the car slightly fatiguing.
00:57:14If you gentlemen don't mind, I'll sit down.
00:57:18Well, now.
00:57:19Just what is on your mind?
00:57:21We're not satisfied with Davis' statement about the money.
00:57:24We're either going to get the facts from him or from you.
00:57:28Well, I assure you that I haven't got the money.
00:57:30This is no joke, Wong.
00:57:32You happen to have seen those canceled checks.
00:57:33What do you know about them?
00:57:35Obviously, forgeries.
00:57:37As yet, I haven't quite made up my mind as to the identity of the forger.
00:57:42We'll help you make up your mind.
00:57:44On my boat.
00:57:45On your boat.
00:57:47Yes, we're taking a sea voyage.
00:57:50Well, I'm not very partial to the ocean.
00:57:53I hope you're a better sailor than I am, Davidson.
00:58:15I'm not very partial to the sea voyage.
00:58:38They had just been shot.
00:58:45Bill! Bill, I see somebody in there!
00:58:52Yeah, it's me.
00:58:54Oh.
00:58:56What do you know?
00:59:15Pardon, pardon, what's the matter?
00:59:20Oh, he's there!
00:59:21What?
00:59:22Oh, it's not me!
00:59:29Oh, Bill, is he hurt?
00:59:31Oh, it's all right.
00:59:34Who are you?
00:59:35Mr. Davidson's butler.
00:59:37Where's Wong?
00:59:38I haven't seen him.
00:59:39Well, what happened to you?
00:59:40Mr. Davidson and I were set upon by two men.
00:59:42Could you identify him?
00:59:44Well, maybe.
00:59:45I'm a little lazy right now.
00:59:46Where's the phone?
00:59:47In there.
00:59:50Hey, wait a minute.
00:59:53That's Wong's umbrella.
00:59:55Can't you give me some sort of a description of those fellas?
00:59:58Well, there was one big husky chap with a mustache.
01:00:01I remember.
01:00:02I only got a glimpse of the other fella.
01:00:03Why do you stop that?
01:00:04Could you describe their features?
01:00:06Well, if I saw the big fella again, I'm sure...
01:00:08What is that?
01:00:09Something I picked up.
01:00:10Where?
01:00:11Over there.
01:00:12Why don't you tell me?
01:00:13Oh.
01:00:14Palliser Hotel.
01:00:24What is this about the Palliser Hotel?
01:00:25Quiet.
01:00:30Hello.
01:00:31Palliser Hotel.
01:00:32This is Captain Street speaking.
01:00:33Oh, yes, Captain.
01:00:34Oh, yes, Captain.
01:00:35I'll call him.
01:00:36I'll call him.
01:00:37Room 461.
01:00:38It was occupied by Captain Jayme, of the Maid of Orion.
01:00:40He checked out this afternoon.
01:00:41Boat sales at midnight.
01:00:42Yes?
01:00:43Thanks very much.
01:00:44Well, your office, huh?
01:00:46Yeah? Thanks very much.
01:00:52Your office, huh?
01:00:56Hello, get me Delaney.
01:00:59Delaney, this is straight. I want to detail him in at Pier 56.
01:01:03Maid Orient. Right away.
01:01:05Oh, yeah, and... Yeah.
01:01:07The butler at Davidson's house has been slugged. Take care of it.
01:01:16I don't know.
01:01:46I don't know.
01:01:56Close that cargo port.
01:02:04Give us a hand here.
01:02:17Davidson, if you come to with the rest of that money, we'll let you continue to live.
01:02:21It's a matter of curiosity.
01:02:23Just what do you intend to do with me?
01:02:25When we get a thousand miles at sea, we'll let you swim home.
01:02:28Splendid.
01:02:29Come on.
01:02:31Oh, Bernie.
01:02:34Keep an eye on him.
01:02:35Aye, aye.
01:02:37You got a gun?
01:02:38This'll do.
01:02:41Take a good look at it.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:45Okay.
01:03:13So, let's go.
01:03:14Good.
01:03:15Take care.
01:03:17Good.
01:03:18All right.
01:03:19How did you do?
01:03:20Trust me.
01:03:21Good.
01:03:23You're welcome.
01:03:24Good.
01:03:26Good.
01:03:28Good.
01:03:29Good.
01:03:31Good.
01:03:33Good.
01:03:35Good.
01:03:36Good.
01:03:38Good.
01:03:41Good.
01:03:42I'm coming aboard, Captain.
01:03:51You stay here.
01:04:03Listen, I told you not to follow me any further, and I'm not kidding.
01:04:12I'm coming.
01:04:25How did you do?
01:04:27What?
01:04:28You're the man in the window.
01:04:31Captain Jackson.
01:04:40Hello, Captain.
01:04:41Nothing wrong?
01:04:42No, just a little information.
01:04:43Excuse me.
01:04:44Mr. Sand, take over, please.
01:04:46Yes, sir.
01:04:49Recognize that key?
01:04:51Yes, my hotel key.
01:04:53I missed it when I checked out.
01:04:54Any idea where you lost it?
01:04:56No. Where did you get it?
01:04:58Davidson's home.
01:05:00Oh, that's where I dropped it.
01:05:02Yeah, you called on it.
01:05:03Yes.
01:05:04Our firm does a lot of business with Mr. Davidson's bank.
01:05:06I went there to get some paper signed.
01:05:08You didn't see a butler slug, did you?
01:05:10Butler slug?
01:05:11I know.
01:05:12See anything of Wong?
01:05:14Wong?
01:05:15No.
01:05:16Why?
01:05:17He called on Davidson, and he's disappeared.
01:05:19Disappeared?
01:05:20When were you there?
01:05:21When were you there?
01:05:22About five o'clock.
01:05:23I finished my business, had a whiskey and soda, and left.
01:05:26Very funny.
01:05:27Davidson disappeared, too.
01:05:28Davidson?
01:05:29Well, he was all right when I left.
01:05:32I'm awfully sorry I can't be a sound assistance to you.
01:05:34So am I.
01:05:35Thanks.
01:05:36Well, it's too bad about all this trouble.
01:05:39I hope you come in one moment, all right.
01:05:43Looks like you're about ready to shove off.
01:05:45Just waiting for you to get ashore.
01:05:47I see.
01:05:59Bill! Look out!
01:06:01All right, boys.
01:06:02Please.
01:06:03All right, boys.
01:06:04Take charge.
01:06:05Run up the crew and nobody goes ashore.
01:06:06I'm an officer.
01:06:07Yeah?
01:06:08Get him over there.
01:06:09You've been high-handed, aren't you, Street?
01:06:10You think so?
01:06:11Take these two men up and lock them in his cabin.
01:06:12Handcuff them.
01:06:13I think you'd better tie him up, David.
01:06:14Here, sir.
01:06:15What did that guy grab you for?
01:06:16Well, I recognized him.
01:06:17You see, he was the one that I saw.
01:06:18Where'd he come from?
01:06:19Down there.
01:06:20Come on, Jerry.
01:06:21Come on, Jerry.
01:06:22Come on.
01:06:23Come on, Jerry.
01:06:24Come on.
01:06:25Come on.
01:06:26Come on.
01:06:27I'm going to get him.
01:06:28Come on.
01:06:29Get him over there.
01:06:30You're better high-handed, aren't you, Street?
01:06:31You think so?
01:06:32Take these two men up and lock them in his cabin.
01:06:33Handcuff them.
01:06:34You'd better tie him up, David.
01:06:35Here, sir.
01:06:36What did that guy grab you for?
01:06:37Well, I recognized him.
01:06:38You see, he was the one that I saw.
01:06:39Where'd he come from?
01:06:40Down there.
01:06:41Come on, Jerry.
01:06:42I knew Captain Jane was lying.
01:06:43What happened?
01:06:44He and Jackson kidnapped us and brought us down that car.
01:06:45Oh, kidnapped him too, huh?
01:06:46Who's this?
01:06:47As you see, he was left here to guard us.
01:06:48Take care of him, Jerry.
01:06:49I've got them both up in the cabin.
01:06:50Good thing you came and you did, Street.
01:06:51All right, boys, come clean.
01:06:52Why'd you Shanghai Davidson?
01:06:53To find out what became with the balance of the bank.
01:06:54The balance of the bank, you'll see him.
01:06:55I'll see him.
01:06:56He gave me four as well.
01:06:57And you'll see.
01:06:58Those when you came.
01:06:59I'll see him.
01:07:00I'll see you.
01:07:01Come on, Jerry.
01:07:02And got him, Jerry.
01:07:03I've got him in the cabin.
01:07:04Well, we'll see you.
01:07:05All right, boys.
01:07:07Come on, Jerry.
01:07:08Why'd you Shanghai Davidson?
01:07:09To find out what became with the balance of the bank.
01:07:12But you can see him in the middle of this.
01:07:13Great.
01:07:16How about you?
01:07:17That's not a good man.
01:07:18Why'd you Shanghai Davidson?
01:07:20To find out what became with the balance of the princess's money.
01:07:22What'd you bring Wong along for?
01:07:23I'm afraid that was my fault.
01:07:25I told them that Mr. Wong had examined all the cancelled checks and to ask him about them.
01:07:30I admitted there was one check drawn to my favor, but who signed the rest of them?
01:07:34Who did it, you?
01:07:36Now.
01:07:37It's a forgery of the princess's signature.
01:07:40Oh, then somebody's working with you.
01:07:43Now.
01:07:44All right, if nobody's working with you, which one of you killed the princess?
01:07:46We never killed the princess.
01:07:48We had a deal to sell us some airplanes.
01:07:50You haven't got anything on us at all.
01:07:52No, just kidnap them.
01:07:54Take them down and book them.
01:07:58And an attempt on my life, eh, Jackson?
01:08:01Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't successful.
01:08:07Well, we still haven't pinned a murder on anybody.
01:08:18So when you discovered that the aviation company was a fraud, you saw your chance to cover the shortage at your bank with her funds.
01:08:27What do you mean?
01:08:28What do you mean?
01:08:29You forged those checks, Davidson.
01:08:32Oh, don't be absurd.
01:08:34Those signatures were in Chinese.
01:08:36Which you learned when you worked for the bank in China.
01:08:39Also the use of a sleeve gun.
01:08:41Are you accusing me of the murder of the princess?
01:08:50Yes.
01:08:52And the maid.
01:08:54And the dwarf.
01:08:58Dwarf?
01:08:59Must I tell you that I exhumed the body of the dwarf from the pet cemetery?
01:09:05One does not bury the body of a vicious dog in a pet cemetery.
01:09:10Under an expensive headstone.
01:09:12You're a very clever man, Mr. Wall.
01:09:21I congratulate you.
01:09:23All right, Davidson.
01:09:25Captain Streak.
01:09:26Hey, grab him, Gerry!
01:09:42Attaboy, Gerry!
01:09:48He's got him.
01:09:49Get a line to him.
01:09:56Gerry picked him up.
01:09:58When did you exhume that body?
01:10:01I didn't.
01:10:02But now I think we should.
01:10:04A Street?
01:10:05Oh, boy, what a story!
01:10:08Come out!
01:10:09Come out!
01:10:10Take it easy, Bobby.
01:10:11You're talking to the engine room.
