00:00THE END
00:30THE END
01:00I took the liberty of putting a little bread
01:29It wasn't a liberty, Tenney, that was an act of Christian kindness
01:33I rather thought you might say so, sir
01:34Well, Tenney, this is our last day as a bachelor
01:37Yes, sir
01:38After today, we'll be a married man, sir
01:41And if we're not, it won't be our fault this time
01:43Now, let's see
01:47We've done everything Miss Phyllis asked us to
01:49We've stayed shut up in the house for days
01:51No newspapers, no letters, no guns
01:53Tenney, you did dispose of all the guns
01:55Oh, yes, oh, yes, all the guns
01:59Tenney, I believe you're con-
02:00Take it, take it
02:02We're not catching cold now, are we, sir?
02:08You can blame Elsie if we are
02:10It was his idea of taking away our trousers
02:11So we couldn't leave the house
02:12It was a very effective idea, if I may say so, sir
02:15Tenney, he didn't leave a pair by any chance?
02:17Not even rompers, sir
02:19They've all gone with the luggage
02:20Except, of course, the ones that Mr. Longworth's bringing with him
02:24And no money, either
02:25I hope Colonel Nielsen won't forget to bring that when he comes
02:27Oh, I think Colonel Nielsen can be relied upon for that, sir
02:30And the tickets to Nice, who has them?
02:31Mr. Longworth, sir
02:32What, Algie?
02:34Tickets and trousers both?
02:35Oh, that's quite a responsibility for one man
02:37Especially for Mr. Longworth, if I may say so, sir
02:39Now, I think I'd better check up on him, Tenney
02:41Oh, pardon me, sir
02:42We promised Miss Phyllis that we wouldn't use the telephone
02:45Except in emergency
02:46But this is an emergency, Tenney
02:48Now, supposing Algie brought the tickets and forgot the trousers
02:51Can you imagine a honeymoon under circumstances like that?
02:53I can, sir
02:54Rather awkward, I'd say, sir
02:56Then we're agreed that this is an emergency?
02:58Oh, definitely, sir
03:00That is, it has all the year marks of one
03:02Hello, exchange
03:04Get me, uh, four, four, four, four, sir
03:07How's he long worth this end?
03:13Hello, are you there?
03:15Oh, it's you, old fellow
03:17Wedding? What wedding?
03:20My wedding, you blithering idiot
03:21Now, listen, Algie, pay strict attention
03:23Have you got the tickets?
03:25You bet I have
03:25Right here in my pocket
03:27Good
03:27Now, listen carefully, Algie
03:29Have you got my trousers?
03:32He has them
03:33May I suggest, sir, that you inquire about mine?
03:36Yes, and have you got Tenney's trousers?
03:39Yes, he has them, too
03:39Thank you, sir
03:41Well, Algie
03:42Algie, have you got your own trousers?
03:44Have I got my own trousers?
03:46Now, you, old boy
03:47I, uh-oh
03:48Hugh!
03:49I forgot to put them on
03:50What will I do?
03:58Captain Drummond is on the wire, sir
04:00All right, put him through
04:02Hello, Hugh, what do you want now?
04:08Yes, of course, I've got your money
04:10And the marriage license
04:11Yes
04:12I simply thought it might be a good idea to...
04:14All you have to do is to stay inside that house of yours and keep out of trouble.
04:20What?
04:21I simply asked if you were certain this wedding isn't dragging you away from some important case.
04:25No, there's not a thing on my desk you can stick your long, unwanted, interfering nose into, Hugh Drummond.
04:32And you're supposed not to talk on the telephone. Goodbye.
04:35Hello? Of course it's Phyllis.
04:42Hugh, darling, you promised not to use the telephone.
04:46Has anything happened?
04:47No, no, no, darling. I just wanted to know if...
04:49If she has the rings, sir.
04:51Yes. Have you got the rings?
04:53Of course I've got the rings.
04:55Now, will you behave yourself and do as you've been told?
04:57Oh, but, sweetheart, I am. She has the rings.
05:00And if I don't get out of this place soon, I'll go crazy.
05:02Pardon me, sir. We shall go crazy.
05:04Yes, we shall go crazy.
05:07I'm leaving right now to pick up Colonel Nielsen at Greystone Manor.
05:10We'll be there in no time at all.
05:13Of course I love you.
05:16Bye.
05:17Goodbye, sweet.
05:19Well, Tenny, she's on her way. Nothing can stop us now.
05:22This time we're going to be married.
05:24It would seem so, sir, sir.
05:25It's self-sacrifice it's done it, Tenny.
05:27Staying shut up here for days, weeks, years, centuries.
05:30But it's worth it, Tenny. It's worth it.
05:32I dare say, sir.
05:34May I make a suggestion, sir?
05:35Certainly. What is it?
05:36The telephone, sir.
05:37Yes, what about it?
05:38It might be the one weak link in an otherwise invincible chain, sir.
05:43You're right, Tenny. We might be lured into something over the wire.
05:46Precisely, sir.
05:47Ah, thank you.
05:54Now we are protected.
05:55And not holy, sir.
05:57Hmm?
05:58Obviously.
06:01May I further suggest so?
06:05Oh, an excellent idea, Tenny.
06:06I'd rather like it, sir.
06:07Ah,
06:08Here we go.
06:38Phillips. Phillips, where are you?
06:44Colonel Nielsen.
06:51Good evening, Colonel.
06:53Ah.
06:55And who are you?
06:57I'm afraid Scotland Yard is slipping.
07:00You didn't wear a beard when you ran away and your face is darker.
07:04The African sun.
07:06I see.
07:08The photographs on our files were a much younger man.
07:12Richard Lane.
07:14Some kind of an ex-diplomat.
07:16Decorated by the Crown during the war for services of unusual merit.
07:21The Crown made a mistake.
07:23So you do remember me?
07:25Scotland Yard never forgets a spy until he's shot.
07:28Oh, Colonel, let's avoid the unpleasant words.
07:31Won't you join me?
07:32Oh, how nice of you.
07:34May I suggest the sherry?
07:35You'll find it excellent.
07:36Oh, fine.
07:37Aren't you a bit curious as to why I'm here?
07:40No, no, no, no, no.
07:41You've undoubtedly come all the way from Africa to give yourself up.
07:44Scarcely that.
07:45Well, perhaps you've come to return the plans of the Brenton bomber,
07:49which you auctioned off to an enemy government twelve years ago.
07:53My, you have an excellent memory, Colonel.
07:55So they tell me.
07:57I suppose it surprises you that the fox comes hunting for the hound?
08:01You doubtless expect you to get away?
08:03Oh, yes, yes, of course.
08:04You see, had I called upon you at the Yard, the odds would have been too great even for me.
08:08How dare say, huh?
08:10Oh, yes, yes.
08:14Will you excuse me for a moment?
08:15Oh, no, wait a moment.
08:17I'm sorry, Colonel.
08:18I'm only trying to help you.
08:19Here's the key.
08:20Oh.
08:21My apologies.
08:30Luck seems to have turned against me.
08:32You ought to know that all important papers are kept in the yard.
08:35Yes, I should have thought about that.
08:37You were preparing to attend Captain Drummond's wedding, weren't you?
08:42How do you know about Drummond's wedding?
08:44Your man Phillips was quite informative.
08:46It will simplify things a great deal if you are equally so.
08:49And if I retain my clam-like silence?
08:52Won't you sit down?
08:57You servicemen are all alike.
08:59Very much the same in spirit.
09:01Admirable, too, in a way.
09:02Now you, for example, remind me of Commander Knox.
09:05When I requested information about the 18-inch coast gun.
09:08So you were responsible for his disappearance?
09:11Yes.
09:12Many great nations will pay money for each other's war secrets.
09:15Really?
09:16A great deal of money.
09:22Now, isn't it a fact, Colonel,
09:23that your government has designs for radio wave disintegrator
09:26which will make it impossible for an enemy to intercept your signal during time of war?
09:32I hadn't heard of it.
09:33Oh, come, come.
09:35The Burton signal apparatus.
09:36Invented by one of the yard's own radio technicians.
09:39You know all about it.
09:41You're going to tell me.
09:42And just how do you propose to make me tell you?
09:51If you're persistent being obstinate, Colonel,
09:53I'm afraid you'll be late for Captain Drummond's wedding.
10:12Good evening.
10:13Good evening.
10:14Good evening.
10:15I've called for Colonel Nielsen.
10:16And you are?
10:17Miss Clavering.
10:18Oh, yes, yes, of course, Miss Clavering.
10:19Where's Phillips?
10:20Well, this is Phillips' night off.
10:21His night off?
10:22Yes, cinema, I believe.
10:23I talked to him a little while ago.
10:24It must have been rather sudden.
10:25It was rather sudden.
10:26Well, I'm in a frightful hurry.
10:27I wonder if you'd be good enough to tell the Colonel I'm in a hurry.
10:29Miss Clavering, perhaps I'd better explain.
10:30You see, uh, I'm the new tenant of Greystone Manor.
10:32The new tenant?
10:33Yes.
10:34But I talked to the Colonel only this morning.
10:35And he didn't tell you?
10:36No.
10:37Well, that's strange.
10:38Of course the Colonel's a busy man, but...
10:39Uh, that's strange.
10:40Of course the Colonel's a busy man, but...
10:41Uh, he didn't tell you?
10:42Well, he didn't tell you?
10:43That's strange.
10:44Of course, the Colonel's a busy man, but...
10:47No.
10:48No.
10:49It's a busy man.
10:50That's rather sudden.
10:51Well, that's strange.
10:54Well, I'll tell you...
10:55Well, then he's a busy man.
10:56Strange. Of course, the colonel's a busy man, but he turned the place over to me today.
11:02Then he's not here?
11:04No. He, uh, he's gone to Rockham Lodge to be with Captain Drummond.
11:09Then I must hurry.
11:12Well, Mr. Clavering, uh, since we're going to be neighbours, I, I do hope to see more of you and Captain Drummond.
11:17You know about the wedding?
11:18Yes, the colonel told me, and might I offer my good wishes.
11:23Do you mind if I ask you something?
11:27No, not at all.
11:29I have the strangest feeling of having known you before.
11:32No, I hardly think so. I couldn't have forgotten so charming an acquaintance.
11:37That's very nice of you. Good night.
11:39Good night, Miss Clavering.
11:53Good night.
12:23Good night.
12:53Good night.
12:54Hello?
12:55Hello?
12:56Get me Captain Drummond at Rockham Lodge.
12:58Hurry, please.
13:05But they must answer. Someone's there, I know.
13:07Try again.
13:09I know, sir. I know. A wish for the halen nectar.
13:24Oh, Tenny, you anticipate my every wish. With the perfume of the purple heather in every drop, sir.
13:36Well, I do believe you're a poet.
13:37Thank you, sir. And a good fellow.
13:39Well, you're not so bad yourself, sir. Thank you.
13:44Well, Tenny, since it's our last day as a bachelor, shall we drink to...
13:47Miss Phyllis, sir?
13:48Aye.
13:49And tis a bonne lacheuse of...
13:55Miss Alzi, our pants.
14:00Ready, Tenny?
14:01Sound off!
14:02Sounds are coming.
14:03I know who at home.
14:04Sounds are coming.
14:05I know who at home.
14:06I know who at home.
14:07I know who at home.
14:08I know who at home is...
14:09Darling!
14:10Hugh, something terrible.
14:11Who, me?
14:12It's the Colonel. He's gone.
14:13With my money, the scoundrel.
14:14He's been kidnapped.
14:15I swear there, Tenny.
14:16Somebody stole the Colonel.
14:17Great Scott, sir.
14:18What will he be taking next?
14:19Generals?
14:20A man with a beard.
14:21And a cast in one eye.
14:22Oh, Hugh.
14:23Please be serious.
14:24There were two men.
14:25One with a beard.
14:26I couldn't see the other.
14:27Oh, now, darling.
14:28You've got things all mixed up.
14:29I'm the one who finds bearded villains.
14:30Not you.
14:31Oh, Tenny.
14:32You believe me, don't you?
14:33Oh, uh...
14:34That is, uh...
14:36We stay in the house and try to keep out of mischief.
14:38And now you come along.
14:40I know you've got them hidden in the car.
14:46Well, where is he?
14:47I told you.
14:48I stopped at Greystone to pick him up.
14:49And the man with a beard said he was the new tenant.
14:51Colonel Nielsen wouldn't let Greystone to anyone.
14:52He said the Colonel had come on here.
14:54But I went back and watched.
14:55Good luck, darling.
14:56They brought Colonel Nielsen out unconscious.
14:58And took him away in his own car.
15:00Away? Where?
15:01I don't know.
15:02I tried to phone you.
15:03I cut the wires.
15:04Tenny!
15:05Coming, sir.
15:06As usual.
15:07Coming, sir.
15:08Your head, sir.
15:10What's that?
15:11Mr. Longworth removed our firearms, sir.
15:14So I took the precaution of hiding these.
15:17Tenny, you said there were no guns in the house.
15:20Pardon me, sir.
15:21These are not guns.
15:22These are pistols.
15:23You see, darling, we kept our word.
15:25Good work, Tenny.
15:26I rather like it, though.
15:27Hurry, Hugh.
15:28Hurry!
15:32I said Hugh, Phyllis.
15:33I've got your pants.
15:35I mean, where are you going?
15:36Greystone Manor.
15:37Greystone Manor?
15:39Let's go.
15:40Oh, this was our best friend!
15:41The Half of the Marino is a Prudalick Viacooker...
15:42Oh, you achter when it started.
15:43Leaving the V-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R.
15:44A woman is extremely
15:46frapper.
15:48I am going to ask her for aunch of pictures....
15:52Sean Clark, the house paid off of her damnate and the investigators as a table.
15:57Then I have been thinking, Pete.
16:00You look in there, Tenny.
16:01I'll look in there.
16:02You'll come with me.
16:03There's the colonel's briefcase.
16:06Hello, operator.
16:07This is Captain Drummond speaking from Colonel Nielsen's residence.
16:09Will you get me scout on your own?
16:10Yes.
16:11Yes.
16:12Yes.
16:13Yes.
16:14Yes.
16:15Yes.
16:16Yes.
16:17Yes.
16:18Yes.
16:19Yes.
16:20Yes.
16:21Yes.
16:22Yes.
16:23Yes.
16:24Yes.
16:25Yes.
16:26Yes.
16:27Yes.
16:28Yes.
16:29Will you get me Scotland Yard immediately?
16:31Yes.
16:32Yes.
16:33Yes, you can call me here.
16:35Hugh, look!
16:42Tenny!
16:43Coming, sir!
16:51Easy now.
16:53Captain Drummond.
16:55Philip's old men.
16:56Who did this?
16:58It was...
16:59Richard.
17:00Yes.
17:01This may help, sir.
17:11Drummond speaking.
17:12The Yard?
17:13Yes.
17:14Get me Inspector Blair, quickly.
17:15Who was it, Philip's?
17:16Can't you tell me?
17:17It was Richard Lane.
17:19Richard Lane?
17:20Now I know why his face was so familiar.
17:23I remember his picture in the papers, without a beard.
17:25Well, Nielsen's been after him for years.
17:27Hello, Blair.
17:28This is Drummond.
17:29I'm at Nielsen's.
17:30He's been kidnapped.
17:31I said kidnapped!
17:32Yes, by Richard Lane.
17:34I don't care if Lane hasn't been in England for years.
17:36He was here half an hour ago.
17:37Captain Drummond.
17:38Hold on a minute.
17:39Yes, Phillips?
17:40Got an aeroplane.
17:41Near Hampton Heath.
17:42Yes?
17:43They're taking him to...
17:44Where, Phillips?
17:45Where?
17:46To Africa.
17:47Somewhere near Arby.
17:48Morocco.
17:49Hello, Blair.
17:50The butler says Lane has a plane on Hampton Heath.
17:51Yes, they're taking Nielsen to Morocco.
17:52Near somewhere near Arby.
17:53Yes, Morocco.
17:54Now, you send some men to the Heath.
17:55If I get there in time, I'll try to stop him.
17:56Right.
17:57Isn't there something we can do?
17:59We can get the man who killed him.
18:00I'm sorry.
18:01I'm sorry.
18:02It's a good thing.
18:03I'm sorry.
18:04I'm sorry.
18:05I'm sorry.
18:06I'm sorry.
18:07You're sorry.
18:08I'm sorry.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:10I'm sorry.
18:11I'm sorry.
18:12I'm sorry.
18:13I'm sorry.
18:14I'm sorry.
18:15I'm sorry.
18:16I'm sorry.
18:17I'm sorry.
18:18I'm sorry.
18:19We'll kill him.
18:20Come on, dummy.
18:42Now, where are you going?
18:44Hampton Heath, sir.
18:46Hampton Heath?
18:47I wish you make up your mind where you are going to get married.
19:05You think he'll be all right?
19:06Yes, of course he'll be all right.
19:08Hey, look.
19:09Hey, look.
19:15There's a plane.
19:18Say, Phoenix.
19:39Well, it wasn't a bad idea, Tenny.
19:40It wasn't a good one, sir.
19:43You!
19:46You, you're crazy.
19:47I mean, are you crazy?
19:48Are those my pants, Alzie?
19:49Yes, bitter.
19:50Never mind.
19:51Later.
19:52Oh, but listen.
19:53Never mind, Alzie.
19:54Here you are, Tenny.
19:55Excuse me, darling.
19:56But you, I'm in a dinner.
19:57Have you gone slightly by me?
19:58I'm mad, if that's what you mean.
19:59Mad?
20:00Oh, oh.
20:01You mean angry, annoyed, irritated, as it were.
20:03What about?
20:04A plane, Alzie.
20:05Colonel Nielsen's in it.
20:06What's he doing up there?
20:07Kidnapped, Alzie.
20:08Kidnapped.
20:09Kidnapped?
20:10Nielsen?
20:11I say, oh, well, you're sure you're quite all right.
20:12I mean, the wedding, the excitement, and all that sort of thing.
20:13Of course I'm all right, Alzie.
20:14Claimed Phyllis for this.
20:15She started it.
20:16Phyllis?
20:17I saw the men put Colonel Nielsen in his car.
20:19What for?
20:20We're going to follow and find out.
20:21Who's that?
20:22Police.
20:23Don't say anything about trying to follow Nielsen.
20:24They might try to stop us.
20:25Captain Drummond.
20:26Hello, Sergeant.
20:27The yard calls on the Waza.
20:28Yes, it's too bad you didn't get here five minutes earlier.
20:29There's your man up there.
20:30There's the card I used to abduct Colonel Nielsen.
20:31You'd better take a look at it.
20:32Right, sir.
20:33How's our chance to get away, Alzie?
20:34Tenney?
20:35Tenney, sir.
20:36I say, you, but...

20:44No, no, no.
20:45No, no, no.
20:46No, no, no.
20:47There's no chance to get away, Alzie.
20:48Tenney?
20:49Tenney, sir.
20:50I say, you, but...
20:51Where are we going?
20:52Possibly Africa.
20:54Africa?
21:13Tenney, get those doors open for me.
21:14Good, sir.
21:17Alzie, you'd better check that reserve tank in case we need it.
21:19Right post.
21:24Captain Drummond.
21:25Just a moment, sir.
21:26Sir.
21:27Well, Sergeant?
21:28I see we're just in time, sir.
21:30Time for what?
21:31To carry out orders, sir.
21:33Orders, Sergeant?
21:34Aye, sir.
21:35Precease you.
21:36Do not leave England tonight.
21:37You mean to tell me I can't take my plane for a flight if I want to?
21:39Orders, sir.
21:40The yacht wants no interference in handling a certain case.
21:43Oh, well, we're just going for a pleasure flight.
21:45A few friends, you know.
21:46Up in the clouds.
21:48You know, good for asthma and all that sort of thing.
21:52Yes, you see.
21:53I'm sorry, sir.
21:54Orders, disorders.
21:55Jenkins, you'll remain here until we leave.
21:58Very good, Sergeant.
21:59This plane is not to be taken out.
22:01Understanding?
22:02This plane is not to be taken out.
22:05Excuse me.
22:07Excuse me.
22:08I see it's you.
22:09Later, Alfie.
22:10Later.
22:11Alfie, open the parachute box.
22:12But the chutes are in the...
22:13In the box where they belong.
22:14In the box?
22:15Yes, Alfie.
22:16In the box.
22:17Locked in the box.
22:18Oh.
22:19That's right.
22:20It's locked in the box.
22:21Yes.
22:22Yes.
22:23I see if they're still there.
22:24Goodbye, darling.
22:25You.
22:26Don't try anything.
22:27He's the Lord.
22:28I've got to, darling.
22:29It's our only chance.
22:30If you're that crazy, I'll be crazy, too.
22:31I'm going with you.
22:32You're staying here.
22:33I'm not.
22:34This was supposed to be our wedding night, in case you've forgotten.
22:36I know, darling.
22:37I'm sorry, but I love you and I want to marry you and I'm going to marry you, but not tonight.
22:40Now, will you please get in the car and run along?
22:41Oh, all right.
22:42I suppose I'll have to.
22:43Goodbye.
22:44Goodbye.
22:45Goodbye.
22:46Goodbye.
22:47Goodbye.
22:48Goodbye.
22:49Goodbye.

23:05Goodbye.
23:06Goodbye.
23:07Goodbye.
23:08Goodbye.
23:09Goodbye.
23:10Ahem.
23:11Smoke constable?
23:13Not when you're on duty, sir.
23:14Oh, I beg your pardon?
23:15I'm only meant to show you no hard feeling.
23:17I understand, sir.
23:18Thank you, sir.
23:19You wouldn't mind if we inspect our parachutes, as long as we're here.
23:22Oh, I suppose it would be all right, sir.
23:25If I have any doubts, you can come and watch us.
23:27Oh, that's all right, sir.
23:28It's not that I don't trust you, but...
23:29The order is is ordered.
23:30That's right, sir.
23:31Order is order.
23:33What's the matter, Algie?
23:34Oh, there's something stuck down there.
23:35I simply can't get them out.
23:36I'm ashamed of you, Algie.
23:37A big, strong fellow like you.
23:38I guess you're right, Algie.
23:39You seem to be stuck.
23:40Give me your hand.
23:41Oh, I suppose we ought to give it up.
23:42Oh, don't say give up, Chit.
23:43I'm sorry.
23:44I'm sorry.
23:45I'm sorry.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:48I'm sorry.
23:49I'm sorry.
23:50I'm sorry.
23:51I'm sorry.
23:52I'm sorry.
23:53I'm sorry.
23:54I'm sorry.
23:55I'm sorry.
23:56I'm sorry.
23:57I'm sorry.
23:58I'm sorry.
23:59I don't say give up, gentlemen.
24:00Let me give you a hand.
24:01Oh, no, no.
24:02Don't bother, Constable.
24:03You might strain yourself.
24:04Oh, nonsense.
24:05They used to call me Little Goliath.
24:06No.
24:07Now, you watch me.
24:08Here.
24:09Here you are.
24:10I'll say you can't do that.
24:11Here.
24:12What are you doing?
24:14Here.
24:15Need what?
24:16Beautiful, Algie.
24:18Penny.
24:19Penny, sir.
24:20What's the hand here?
24:21Open out of here.
24:29And this, Algie, was to have been my wedding night.
24:41Why, Joe, of you?
24:42That reminds me.
24:43Of what?
24:44This must to have been your wedding night.
24:46That's what I said.
24:47But that's when I heard it.
24:49There are times, Algie, when silence is...
24:51Golden?
24:52Yes.
24:53When silence is golden.
24:54That's what Penny said.
24:56Oh, I see.
24:57And you mean that this is one of those times, huh?
24:59Emphatically.
25:00I hated running out on Phyllis like that, but we couldn't bring her with us.
25:04Of course not.
25:05Danger and all that sort of thing.
25:06Pardon me, sir.
25:07Your gun, sir?
25:08Oh, yes, certainly.
25:09Why?
25:10Jolly business.
25:11What?
25:12It depends upon the point of view, sir.
25:21I say, Hugh.
25:22Yes, Algie?
25:23Can we depend on that thing?
25:24Yes, Algie.
25:25Yes, Algie?
25:26Algie, it's about 1,200 miles.
25:33We should reach the African coast by dawn, barring accidents.
25:36Accidents?
25:37Hugh, you haven't had a crash yet, have you?
25:39And it can always be a first time, Algie.
25:41Oh, of course it can always be a first time.
25:43What?
25:44Don't worry, old boy.
25:45I think we'll get through, all right?
25:46I hope.
25:47Miss Charlotte!
25:48My Phyllis!
25:49I know I shouldn't, but here I am, and here we are.
25:53This is a surprise.
25:55Here, sit down.
25:56Well, darling, now you're in the soup with the rest of us.
25:59Nice soup.
26:00I've often wondered about it, and now I know.
26:03What?
26:04Why I love you.
26:05Do you think we could be married in Morocco?
26:07Or would they make us use a Mohammedan priest?
26:09Well, then we'd be Mohammedans, and I could have a heron.
26:12That would be lovely, but don't try it.
26:33Well, here we go.

35:44You know, Nielsen, I rather admire you.
35:48I think under different circumstances we could get along well together.
35:52The circumstances would, as you say, have to be different.
35:56Oh, yes, yes, of course, different.
36:00Colonel. Thank you.
36:04To a very courageous opponent, courageous even in defeat.
36:09And may I, in the depth of my defeat, offer a toast?
36:13Why, surely.
36:15To men who have lost all sense of honor.
36:19To men who have disgraced the countries that gave them birth.
36:24To you, gentlemen.
36:32After dinner, we will discuss Colonel Nielsen's toast.
36:36In detail. Have a chair, Colonel.
36:40Thank you so much.
36:42I'd hate to be in this plane when this thing goes off.
36:46What time I was setting it for?
36:47Hordin said, at nine o'clock.
36:52Hordin said, at nine o'clock.
36:57Oh, I say, Hugh, those dancing fellas are doing some pretty nifty tailspin.
37:13Alfie, now is not the time to become analytical about the terpsicharine peculiarities of some derling wervishes.
37:18Dirling wervishes?
37:19Dirling wervishes?
37:20Yes, swirling dervishes.
37:21Here, lend a hand with those sheets.
37:22Oh, yes.
37:23Be sure to tie the knots double because we can't use broken legs.
37:25But, Hugh, how are we going to find Lane's place after which...
37:28Well, that is, if we do get out of here.
37:30Then we'll worry about that when we get out.
37:31Yes, but then...
37:32If Lane has a place, Alfie will find it.
37:33And Colonel Nielsen, too.
37:34Right.
37:35Now, it's Phyllis, I hope.
37:49You hear?
37:50Si.
37:51They are up to something.
37:52Caporal, you are the most suspicious one.
37:56Good work, darling.
37:57I rather like it, sir.
37:59I still don't think it's long enough to reach the ground.
38:01If we can work our way along that ledge, it'll reach from the balcony.
38:04Yes.
38:05And only 50 feet to a nice stone courtyard below.
38:08Now, if you want to know what I'm in favor of doing...
38:10What, Alfie?
38:11I'm in favor of trying it.
38:13Yes, that's what I thought.
38:15Now, darling, promise me something.
38:16Yes, sir.
38:17Promise me that you'll stay here.
38:18But...
38:19And not try to follow us.
38:20But...
38:21But we know buts, darling.
38:22You stay here or else.
38:23Or else what?
38:24Or else I'll thrash you.
38:25Yes, Captain, darling.
38:26But don't try it.
38:27Goodbye, darling.
38:29Here we go.
38:34You next, Alfie.
38:35And then Penny.
38:36Be careful, Hugh.
38:37Shh.
38:38Come back here.
38:39There's someone at the door.
38:40Delightful.
38:41Tell him I'm in the bath or something.
38:43Why do you take so long, senor?
38:45I was attending Captain Drummond.
38:46And the captain is, uh...
38:47In his bath.
38:48Ah.
38:49Then we will wait.
38:50Si.
38:51Senorita.
38:52Senor.
38:53Senor.
38:54Senor Fordi of the British Conk.
38:55How do you do?
38:56Good evening.
38:57If you don't mind, I'll wait for the captain.
38:58Huh?
38:59Yes, of course.
39:00We were just listening to the music.
39:01Yes, yes.
39:02Yes.
39:03Yes.
39:04Yes.
39:05Yes.
39:06Yes.
39:07Yes.
39:08Yes.
39:09Yes.
39:10Yes.
39:11Yes.
39:12Yes.
39:13Yes.
39:14Yes.
39:15Yes.
39:16And jolly good music, too.
39:17Yes.
39:18Sounds just like, just like music.
39:20And the music.
39:21It should come in much better if I open the window.
39:24Ah.
39:25No.
39:26Yes.
39:27Yes.
39:28Yes.
39:29Have a drink.
39:30You too, Cosmo boy.
39:31Have a good drink.
39:32I'm just going to pour one.
39:33We saw Captain Drummond go into that room, did we not?
39:36Si.
39:37Here with the others.
39:38Did we see him come out?
39:39No.
39:40Yes.
39:41The gentleman said he wasn't in bed.
39:42Does he so?
39:43It cannot be so.
39:44Why?
39:45There is one bedroom on each floor.
39:48And the bedroom, it is not in there.
39:50It is down there.
39:51Then if he's not there, he must be there.
39:55And yet they say he is not.
39:57Then is he or is he not in his room?
40:01Something very, very strange.
40:03So.
40:06We shall see.
40:15Pardon, señorita.
40:16Señores.
40:17Where is Captain Drummond?
40:18I've already told you Captain Drummond is in his bath.
40:21Bath?
40:22It is not all right if my guest desires a bath.
40:25There is no bath, senor.
40:27There is no bath.
40:28What?
40:29Not in here.
40:30Over there.
40:31Search that room.
40:32Speak about.
40:33Here.
40:34Here.
40:35Stand aside.
40:37Ha!
40:38Saw!
40:39Yes.
40:40Quite so.
40:45And what, senor, is this for?
40:59Climbing out.
41:01Well, darling.
41:02Good evening, Captain Drummond.
41:04I can't agree with you, but we won't argue the point.
41:06I have major Grey's instructions.
41:07Yes, I know.
41:08Mr. Fordeen, Miss Clavering.
41:10This gentleman has come to escort us to our plane and out of Morocco.
41:13I'm sorry, sir.
41:14Well, here we go.
41:15But, Hugh, we can't leave without Colonel Nielsen.
41:17Oh, you need have no fears about Colonel Nielsen who's clevering.
41:20I suppose he's safe at his office in London?
41:22Yes.
41:23We received a cable grant from Scotland Yard assuring us that Colonel Nielsen did spend the day in his office.
41:27As usual.
41:28As usual.
41:29But he couldn't.
41:30I saw those men carry him out of the house.
41:32Yes, I know, darling.
41:33But this gentleman says he spent the day in his office as usual.
41:35But, Hugh.
41:36We have no choice, darling.
41:37And my ship is in order?
41:38Oh, perfect order, Captain.
41:40Get your coat, darling.
41:43Captain Drummond, you will fly directly to England.
41:50Well, there seems to be no point in doing anything else if Colonel Nielsen is there.
41:53Well, then.
41:54Goodbye.
41:55Goodbye.
41:56Goodbye, senores.
41:57Goodbye.
41:58Oh, goodbye, old boy.
41:59I hope I don't see you again.
42:00Oh, that is.
42:01Unless we have to leave.
42:02Adios, senores.
42:03Adios, senores.
42:04Adios, senores.
42:05Adios, senores.
42:06Adios.
42:10Jeb.
42:11Oh.
42:12He's dead.
42:13He's dead.
42:14THE PIECES
42:15Highs people.
42:17Too bad they could not get the landing permit.
42:20Ah, they'll forget about it an hour or so.
42:26Nice peoples. Too bad they could not get the landing permit.
42:30Oh, they'll forget about it in an hour or so.
42:52You don't believe Nielsen's in England?
42:54Course I don't.
42:56Then why have we been flying out to sea for the past half hour?
42:59Monkey business, Algie.
43:00Monkey business?
43:01In case our Mr. Fordeen decided to follow us.
43:03No, we're turning back.
43:04Turning back?
43:05Right now.
43:06We're caught engine trouble.
43:07They wouldn't ask us to come down at sea in a land plane, would they?
43:10Well, let's not ask them, huh?
43:12If we're returning, sir, might I suggest that we land somewhere near Mr. Richard Lane's place?
43:27That's easier said than done, Tenny. We don't know where it is.
43:29Oh, but we do, sir.
43:30I need inquiries among the hotel staff as to the residents of Mr. Charles Meagher.
43:36Mr. Richard Lane to us, sir.
43:38Good work, Tenny.
43:39I rather thought you might like it, sir.
43:41I've indicated it on this travel folder.
43:44X marks the spot, eh?
43:45Yes, sir.
43:46The place is just there, sir.
43:55The men to the west is fairly liberal.
43:57Good.
43:58Here go the flares.
44:09If anyone's watching, those flares will be a dead giveaway.
44:12Take that chance, darling.
44:13The moment we land, everybody get out and run.
44:15We'll soon know if they've spotted us.
44:45You were supposed to be well out at sea when that happened.
45:01Instead of which, we're less than a mile from Lane's house.
45:04That's as close as you're going to get, my love.
45:06Tenny, you stay here with Miss Phillips.
45:07May you do so.
45:08You!
45:09But...
45:10No arguments now.
45:11Yes, sir.
45:12That's better.
45:13Take my gun.
45:14Our guns, if you will remember, my love, were confiscated by the police.
45:16Not all of them, Miss.
45:18If you wouldn't mind just turning your head to a second.
45:26I carried this just in peace.
45:28Good work, Tenny.
45:29Brilliant idea.
45:30I rather like it, darling.
45:31Goodbye, darling.
45:32Somehow or other.
45:33We're always saying goodbye.
45:34Let's hope this will be the last time.
45:35Let's hope it won't.
45:36Take good care of it, Tenny.
45:37With my left.
45:38That'll say, darling.
45:39Come along, Elsie.
45:40Be careful, Hugh.
45:41Come along, Elsie.
45:42Be careful, Hugh.
46:10Sit down.
46:11Here.
46:12Transmit this in cold to our London agents.
46:16Well, you, uh, enjoyed your dinner?
46:18The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
46:22Let Colonel Nielsen, the gentleman, serve as a model.
46:25A sense of humor in the face of death.
46:28Now, I suppose you're ready to tell us about the radio wave disintegrator?
46:32Well, if I have to die, I don't see that I'd gain much by it.
46:35That's right.
46:36Doubly right to make it more emphatic.
46:39Are you suggesting a bargain?
46:41For my life?
46:43It was decidedly.
46:45Well, now, of course, if I were to turn you loose,
46:47that would mean that I have to establish new headquarters.
46:50Very difficult thing to do.
46:53I have something you want.
46:55Now, you can sell this disintegrator idea for millions.
46:59Enough to buy a dozen places like this.
47:01Yes, that's true.
47:02But what assurance have I that you're telling the truth?
47:05Well, what assurance have I that you'd turn me loose if I did?
47:09That's a chance you'll have to take.
47:12Is that final?
47:14That's final.
47:15You may proceed.
47:17The radio wave disintegrator is a means by which the signals, either voice or dot and dash code, are reversed in transmission.
47:34The low frequencies becoming high frequencies, and vice versa.
47:38There's nothing new to that, Colonel.
47:42On the contrary.
47:43A single word, transmitted in normal code, informs the receiving station of the carrier wave combination being used in this spatial transmission.
47:55How does it sound, Doctor?
47:59I'll ask a few questions, please.
48:01And let's hope, Colonel, that you have the correct answers.
48:05You promised not to follow them, miss?
48:07Well, I just can't stay here doing nothing.
48:09Of course, miss.
48:10If you decided to have a little scout around, I'd have to follow you, wouldn't I?
48:15An excellent idea, Teddy.
48:17Come on.
48:18Come on.
48:19Come on.
48:20Come on.
48:21Come on.
48:22Come on.
48:23Come on.
48:24Come on.
48:25Come on.
48:26Come on.
48:27Come on.
48:28Come on.
48:29Come on.
48:30Come on.
48:31And you cannot explain the means by which the transposed signals are separate from the fluctuating carrier wave?
48:45Unfortunately, no.
48:47Doctor, what do you think?
48:51The gentleman that's lying.
48:53Yes, I was afraid so.
48:55Hell, wait.
48:56Never chance, Algie.
48:57Wait.
48:58You put very little value on your life, Colonel.
49:00It was worth a try.
49:02I'm wondering if you'd tell the truth to save three lives.
49:06I have only one.
49:08I'm referring to your friend Major Gray and his assistant, McTurk.
49:13What do you know about Gray and McTurk?
49:14I have them upstairs.
49:16Their lives depend on you.
49:20Now, I'll drive the bargain.
49:22Furnish us with the information Dr. Sturm says you're withholding.
49:25And I guarantee that you and your friends will be released within a week.
49:29By whom may I ask?
49:31The local police.
49:32They'd be informed.
49:34May I think it over?
49:37You may.
49:38You have exactly five minutes.
49:42Five minutes.
49:43You.
49:44You.
49:45You.
49:46I don't think you're going to go that way.
49:47Quiet, Algie.
49:48The man's chained.
49:49Come on.
49:50Come on.
49:51The man's chained.
49:52Come on.
49:53Come on.
49:54You.
49:55You.
49:56You.
49:57I don't think you're going to go that way.
49:58Quiet, Algie.
49:59The man's chained.
50:00Come on.
50:01Come on.
50:02You.
50:03You.
50:04You.
50:05You.
50:06I don't think you're going to go that way.
50:08Quiet, Algie.
50:09The man's chained.
50:10Come on.
50:11You.
50:12You.
50:13You.
50:14You.
50:15You.
50:16I don't think you're going to go that way.
50:17Quiet, Algie.
50:18The man's chained.
50:19Come on.
50:20Come on.
50:21Come on.
50:22Come on.
50:23Come on.
50:24Come on.
50:25Come on.
50:26Come on.
50:27Come on.
50:28Come on.
50:29Come on.
50:30Come on.
50:31Come on.
50:32Come on.
50:33Come on.
50:34I say you.
50:35He's not at all bad looking when he's asleep, is he?
50:37Quiet, Algie.
50:38Let me in here.
50:39Yes, sir.
50:40Here.
50:41Come on.
50:42Here.
50:50That would hold him, huh?
50:55I think so, Elty.
50:57Use this.
51:20You! You!
51:36Close the door, Elty.
51:40Major. Major Gray. Major Gray.
51:43Still disobeying all those troubles.
51:46Carry on.
51:47This chap's in pretty bad shape.
51:49See if there's some water around here, Elty.
52:03Your pets seem a little restless tonight.
52:07Yes.
52:09And hungry.
52:11Well, Colonel, have you decided?
52:19Not yet.
52:20In that case, perhaps we can assist you.
52:22This way, please.
52:25Come on.
52:26Under and Eva.
52:27Come on.
52:28You might have to go.
52:29Come on.
52:30Come on.
52:32Wait.
52:33All right, Pino, stand back.
53:03Pino will bend, Colonel.
53:24You can still save yourself by telling the truth.
53:28All right.
53:29What?
53:33Up, up.
53:48Up, up.
53:49Get up.
53:50Oh, my God.
54:20I'm going through there and sneak up on him.
54:33Right on, old boy.
54:50Come on, let's get out of here.
54:57Come on out, Garland.
55:02Garland?
55:14Garland?
55:17Garland!
55:19Garland!
55:25Stop.
55:55Come on.
56:25Come on.
56:55Come on.
56:59Captain Drummond.
57:01Captain Drummond.
57:02Captain Drummond.
57:03Captain Drummond.
57:04Come.
57:05Come.
57:13Fine fellow, Drummond.
57:16I rather like him, sir.
57:17Come.
57:24Come on.
57:26I'll let you know it is.
57:27I will let you know it is.
57:29Yes, sir.
57:30We'll let you go.
57:32THE END
