00:00The End
01:30There's no doubt now the Jap shot down the clipper to get Marling in his party.
01:39It looks that way.
01:41And if he's alive, they'll torture the man in secret out of him.
01:44In that case, I'd rather see him dead.
01:46That secret can mean the difference between winning and losing.
01:49I know.
01:50And I don't believe in miracles.
01:51But I wish one would happen.
01:52Your first visit to the outside world hasn't been a very pleasant one, has it, Marling?
02:03Well, surely hasn't been monotonous.
02:05Shot down by Japs, imprisoned in a sub-tender, and finally escaping in this eggshell.
02:10My chief regret is that we had to leave Martin and Wingley aboard the Japanese ship.
02:16Jack had some wild scheme.
02:17He'd take over the ship's radio and warn Pearl Harbor that the Japs mean to attack without declaring war.
02:22C-4 calling headquarters, C-4 calling headquarters.
02:31The Starling's flying the Jap flag now.
02:34She is, huh?
02:35Burings, please.
02:36And stand by for correction.
02:37There's no use of us staying here to commit higher carry, Wing.
03:04The same idea occurred to me.
03:05Let's go.
03:06It looks as though Jack did what he promised.
03:08But at what he cost to himself.
03:32They must have had a chance to jump.
03:34I'm glad we followed them.
03:35Hey, Wing, that looks like our sailboat.
03:39You trust me, Jack.
03:41I'm afraid I can't make it.
03:44We got into this together, and that's the way we'll go around.
03:50Put your hand on my shoulder and we'll easily.
03:56There they are.
03:57Jack, Wing!
03:58And so luck was with us and we made it.
04:12And so luck was with us and we made it I guess we both believe in miracles now and how 100% right now about this treaty of course I have
04:36I have no authority to sign it but I admit that I'm rather hazy about it
04:40Ma Ling the most important person rescued through Captain Martin's bravery and cleverness is governor of a Chinese province over against the Himalayas
04:47Oh you deserve the praise Captain Martin yes Captain Wing
04:51Well sir a secret route from China to India runs through Mandan, Ma Ling's state
04:56Is that fact or fairy tale?
04:58If Ma Ling says it's a fact it's a fact
05:00Then why hasn't he given it to China?
05:02His people want no traffic with the outside world and he demands guarantees the road be closed after the war
05:08China and Great Britain have already promised why does he want the United States to sign?
05:12Well up until yesterday he wanted us to sign as a disinterested nation now of course he wants us to sign as an ally
05:18I see
05:20Well as vital as this is do you suppose you could persuade Ma Ling to postpone our conference?
05:25Yesterday's treachery has left me swamped
05:28As a matter of fact he rather expects postponement he understands
05:32Well that ends my part in the matter now for the good old USA in the uniform
05:35I'm sorry but I have orders the contrary
05:37You're to stay with Ma Ling as his special envoy until he is safely back in Mandan
05:42But America needs aviators and I want to drop some eggs on those Japs
05:45We need you more on this job Ma Ling himself suggested it
05:49Well there's our orders
05:51Will you detail some policemen to stand guard until we leave?
05:54Worried over the black samurai?
05:55They'll go to any length to kill him before he signs that treaty
05:58Well I'll do it if it'll relieve you any but after yesterday all Japs are under control
06:03And that should include any member of the black samurai
06:11I wonder if there's a good jeweler in town
06:14What on earth do you want a jeweler for?
06:15Ma Ling's been so nice about letting me take pictures and giving me news scoops
06:19I'd like to show him I appreciate it
06:21That's a nice thought
06:23Why don't you ask the desk?
06:24That's a good idea
06:29Hello?
06:31Would you give me the desk please?
06:35Hello?
06:36I wonder if you could recommend a reliable jeweler
06:40What was that?
06:42Blenker?
06:43John Blenker?
06:46Is he a phone?
06:49Thank you
06:51John Blenker?
06:59Would you get me John Blenker at Crest 4565?
07:05Did you find one?
07:06You never can tell
07:11Miss Miller at the Hotel Hilo
07:13Die Gertrude Miller?
07:16Fräulein von Teufel
07:18Yes Fräulein
07:19I mean yes Miss Miller
07:21How can I serve you?
07:23I wonder if you could bring over some samples of your work to the hotel sometime today
07:28Within the hour?
07:30That would be fine
07:32I'll be expecting you
07:34Bye
07:37He sounds stupid enough to be really good
07:39Fräulein von Teufel
07:44The head of the German Black Samurai
07:48And she has worked for me
07:50For Johan Blenker
07:52It's all beautiful
08:07Janet this would look lovely on you
08:09Do you mind if I tried them on?
08:10Certainly not
08:12What I really wanted is a duplicate of this
08:17For a friend who's admired it
08:27Can you make a replica of it?
08:29Yes I believe I can duplicate it
08:32It must be able to stand close examination
08:34I have an artist friend
08:36An oriental named Han Po
08:38He will make you a perfect facsimile
08:41Don't you do your own artwork?
08:42I am an artist
08:43Not a goldsmith
08:45I used to be an actor
08:47Now I design
08:48And my work is always satisfactory
08:51Good
08:52Keep the locket
08:54I will give you a check on account
08:55Is Madame interested in buying?
09:10I don't think so
09:11I was just indulging in a little wishful thinking
09:13You should change your mind
09:15Here's my count
09:17Thanks
09:25You will have to hurry
09:26We may only be here a couple of days
09:30You will have to hurry
09:31We may only be here a couple of days
09:34Thank you Madame
09:36We'll be finished before you expect it
09:55Good
09:56Good
10:05Okay
10:06Stand guard until we're leaves
10:08Stand guard until we're leaves
10:08Don't let anyone enter without first checking with us
10:10Yes Sir, I understand
10:12Who is it?
10:14Wing and Jack
10:18Why didn't go off duty now Tommy?
10:21We've brought a couple of police guards
10:21Your Excellency, my country is anxious to sign the treaty, but has asked for a day's delay.
10:26Yesterday's bombing raid has thrown all government officers in a turmoil.
10:30It could not be otherwise.
10:32And patience has long been a virtue of my people.
10:36Is there anything we can do for your Excellency?
10:38Nothing, thank you.
10:40Well, we'll get the girls and have some lunch.
10:51You are Han Po?
11:03That is my unworthy name.
11:05I was right.
11:08If you are from the police, I have done nothing.
11:10I am not from the police.
11:12Are we alone?
11:14No one can see nor hear.
11:17You are listed as a loyal subject of Japan.
11:21Who are you to come to my poor shop and accuse me of being Japanese?
11:28The sign of the Black Samurai.
11:30Yes, I am a loyal subject of Japan.
11:34Then you would be willing to undertake a mission against our enemies.
11:38You have only to order.
11:40It will be dangerous.
11:42It may even cost you your life.
11:45I am willing to take that risk.
11:47I knew I could count on you.
11:50Close the shop.
11:51Lower the blinds.
11:52We must have privacy.
12:09Sit down.
12:15Here, too dark.
12:19Nose a little out of proportion.
12:22That can be remedied.
12:45The chief sent us up to relieve you.
12:49We are not supposed to go off duty yet.
12:51He said he wanted all regular police on street patrol.
12:54We are on special just for this case.
12:56Okay.
12:57Okay.
13:12Where do you want this, uh, put?
13:14I really do not know.
13:16May I ask what it's in?
13:18Sit down.
13:20Open the box.
13:22Come on.
13:32I wonder what happened to the two guards.
13:42Ma Ling!
13:43Girls, you'd better stay out.
13:45See what you can do for Wu-Tan.
13:49I'm sure I can go in here.
13:51I don't know.
13:52I'm sure she's got a good job.
13:53I don't know.
13:54I'm sure we've got a good job.
13:55I should have done that.
13:56I'm sure we can do that.
13:57I'm sure we can do that.
13:58I'm sure I can do that.
13:59I had a hunch something like this would happen.
14:01You were ordered not to leave that door until you were relieved.
14:04We were relieved before our shift was up.
14:06Seemed funny, so I checked and found the chief hadn't sent any relief.
14:09How did this happen?
14:11We have no idea.
14:12Several men delivered a large box.
14:15When I asked them what it was, they struck me over the head with a gun.
14:18I...
14:29This man is not Marling.
14:31Wait a minute, don't phone headquarters.
14:33Why do you say this man's not Marling?
14:35That ring.
14:36Well, it's still there.
14:38Yes, but it is reversed.
14:40You would never do that.
14:42You would never do that.
14:43You would never do that.
14:59It has a religious significance.
15:01It doesn't seem possible.
15:03This man's a perfect double for Marling.
15:05Not quite.
15:08There was a gentleness in Marling's face.
15:11There's none in his.
15:12I don't get it at all.
15:14I'm beginning to.
15:15They wanted Marling so they could question him and didn't want us to look for him.
15:18So they brought this man here in a box and killed him before they took Marling away.
15:22Have you any idea who this man is?
15:23No, but there's a chance he has a police record.
15:26Check his fingerprints and if you find out anything, phone us.
15:28Yes, sir.
15:33The police must be mistaken.
15:35No human being can think of a plan so cruel, not even a Jap.
15:39Haven't you forgotten something, Trudy?
15:41How about Forlein von Teufel or the Black Samurai?
15:43Why, they...
15:44Excuse me.
15:49Hello.
15:50Speaking.
15:51Oh, wait a minute.
15:53What's that name again?
15:54Han...
15:55Poe.
15:57A little carpenter shop on the waterfront, yeah?
16:00Number seven...
16:01Cobra Dock.
16:03Right.
16:04Meet you there.
16:05There's a man named Han Poe suspected of being a Jap.
16:07I'm going to meet the police down at his shop.
16:08I'm going along, too.
16:09Coming, Trudy?
16:10No, I think I've had all I can stand for one day.
16:12I'm going to meet the police down at his shop.
16:13I'm going along, too.
16:14Coming, Trudy?
16:15No, I think I've had all I can stand for one day.
16:17I'm going along, too.
16:18Coming, Trudy?
16:19No, I think I've had all I can stand for one day.
16:21You have had no doubt of burning bamboo splints
16:40under the fingernails as a means of securing secrets
16:45from a stubborn prisoner?
16:46As a means of securing secrets from a stubborn prisoner?
16:50One of the higher of the few Japanese arts, I believe.
16:55And a very effective one.
17:05Yes?
17:07Yes, Furlong and Teufel.
17:09Yes, I have him here.
17:11What?
17:13The police.
17:15Don't worry, they won't find him here.
17:18I have a car outside.
17:19I'll take him to my place in the hills.
17:35They had him here and we're about to torture him.
17:37They must have just left.
17:38They didn't get out the front way.
17:39I'll try the back.
17:41I'll take him to the next door.
17:42I'll take him to the next door.
17:44I'll take you to the next door.
17:45I'll take you to the next door.
17:47There's some secret.
17:48I'll take you to the next door.
17:49Mr. Han Poe is only small, Frye.
17:51If only we had one clue to some of the higher ups.
17:54Han Poe.
17:55I knew I'd heard that name before today.
17:56The jewelry designer mentioned him.
17:57What jewelry designer?
17:58This doesn't look like a goldsmith's shop.
18:01Do you remember his name?
18:03No.
18:04Yes, I do.
18:06He gave me his card.
18:08There was a car pulling out of the alley,
18:10but it was too far ahead to catch.
18:11The policeman is trying to commandeer a car to follow,
18:13but it looks hopeless.
18:14Janet's found a clue.
18:15Come on.
18:16I'll explain on the way.
18:28I'm going to go.
18:46Any luck?
18:47I'm not sure.
18:48It looks as if their jewelry designer may be mixed up in it.
18:51What?
18:52Blanker?
18:53Yes.
18:54The boys are on their way to his house now to question.
18:57You should have got sight of him by now if we're on the right lead.
19:00Probably a dozen roads to his place.
19:05You'll excuse me.
19:06I think I'll go and lie down for a minute.
19:08Too much excitement, I guess.
19:23That looks like the car we saw leave the alley.
19:27It certainly does.
19:37That's the car we want, all right?
19:38Notice how he picked up speed when he spotted us?
19:46Yes?
19:48Speak a little louder, please.
19:52You must act quickly.
19:54Blenker is on his way home with the prisoner.
19:57And Martin and his two friends are following fast.
19:59I understand, Fraulein.
20:00And thank you.
20:11Feoda, get to the bridge.
20:13Let Blenker's car pass.
20:14Then use the emergency rig to stop the one following.
20:17The North for one following.
20:18The North for one following.
20:19The North for one following.
20:22The End
20:52Watch out, Jake!
21:22The End
