00:03:04You won't get the bat.
00:03:06I'll take the bat.
00:03:07I'll take the bat.
00:03:08They can jump out of you.
00:03:09I'll take the bat.
00:03:31I'll take the bat.
00:04:23I'll take the bat.
00:04:24I'll take the bat.
00:04:32I'll take the bat.
00:04:33I'll take the bat.
00:04:33I'll see you with us.
00:04:36I'll take the bat.
00:05:31All right, Mr. Bell?
00:05:32Quite all right, Captain.
00:05:33This is radio station K-A-H-B.
00:05:37The police evidently have succeeded in outsmarting the bat,
00:05:41as he failed to make good his threat of stealing the Rossmore necklace,
00:05:45although Mr. Bell waited for him alone as requested,
00:05:48with the police on guard outside the door.
00:05:50Now this seems to prove that when the public is sufficiently aroused
00:05:54to the seriousness of criminal conditions,
00:05:57the underworld element has pressed...
00:07:20Come on, boys.
00:07:21Come on, let's go.
00:07:25Come on, let's go.
00:07:32Mel!
00:07:34Mel!
00:07:36Hey, you!
00:07:37All of you!
00:07:38Come out here!
00:07:39The nature is gone!
00:07:41The back!
00:07:41Give me that.
00:07:43To the police.
00:07:45Why waste time chasing rainbows?
00:07:47I always get what I go after.
00:07:49Bell was easy because his clock was fast and you boys were slow.
00:07:53Au revoir, leaving for the country to give the police a rest.
00:07:57Get Detective Anderson.
00:07:58We'll get this back.
00:08:00I tell you boys, no cheap crook is going to make a sucker out of me and get away with
00:08:05us.
00:08:19Can't get a sucker.
00:08:20You can't get a sucker.
00:08:22Please, I hope it was going on.
00:08:23Come on, let's go.
00:08:23Come on, let's go!
00:08:25Go, let's go!
00:11:17I tell you, this house is haunted.
00:11:19Rubbish.
00:11:20I've taken this house for the summer and I intend to stay.
00:11:22Well, then you can stay in it alone.
00:11:25Why do you suppose the servants left?
00:11:27I don't think the housemaid ever had a pain in her side, and I don't think the cook ever had
00:11:32a sister.
00:11:33And her sister didn't have twins.
00:11:35They were just scared stiff, and they ran away.
00:11:40Because they saw it.
00:11:42Because they saw it.
00:11:43You're a fool.
00:11:43Keep quiet.
00:11:44I won't keep quiet.
00:11:46I've worked for you for 20 years, and I guess I have a right to speak my mind.
00:11:50You haven't got a mind.
00:11:55If I had one, you wouldn't get me use it.
00:11:59I stuck by you when you was a theosophist and a suffragettist.
00:12:03And I've seen you through socialism, fletcherism, and rheumatism.
00:12:09But when it comes to spookism, I'm through.
00:12:12Shut up!
00:12:30I saw a man in that window.
00:12:34Nonsense.
00:12:44You're seeing things.
00:12:45Don't I know it?
00:12:47Well, the next time you see anything, tell me and scream afterwards.
00:12:51You scream first.
00:12:52You won't wait.
00:13:10Get the Ouija board.
00:13:13It's up there with the Bible on it to keep it quiet.
00:13:15Get it.
00:13:17Now, you're not asking me to go up there all alone, are you?
00:13:38Now, keep your mind a blank.
00:13:40You said I didn't have a mind.
00:13:42Well, keep what you have got a blank.
00:13:47I'm so scared.
00:13:49I'll see the chatter behind all my upper set in.
00:13:52Quiet.
00:13:55Lizzie Allen write about this house.
00:13:58Or is she wrong, as usual?
00:14:02No.
00:14:04It's moving.
00:14:05Shh.
00:14:07C-E-G-O-R-S-K-I.
00:14:26Russian.
00:14:33B-A-T.
00:14:38B-A-T.
00:14:43That's queer.
00:14:45The paper said he's in the country.
00:14:48Let's hope it's some foreign country.
00:15:03What's that?
00:15:04I'm going to find out.
00:15:14What's that?
00:15:20I'm going to find out.
00:15:49Miss Neely.
00:15:51Can't I sleep with you tonight?
00:15:54You know, it's only when my jaw drops that I snore.
00:15:54You know, it's only when my jaw drops that I snore.
00:15:57I can tie it up.
00:15:59With a handkerchief.
00:16:00Well, tie it up now.
00:16:03What's that ladder doing in the laundry chute?
00:16:05I don't know.
00:16:10Maybe that caretaker put it by her.
00:16:16Careful, careful.
00:16:18Oh, no, ain't I careful?
00:16:32I don't like that caretaker.
00:16:35I wouldn't have him.
00:16:36Only he worked for the Fleming's and came with a lease.
00:16:40The bat!
00:16:42Ah!
00:16:44Ah!
00:16:45Ah!
00:16:45Ah!
00:16:46Ah!
00:16:46Ah!
00:16:47Ah!
00:16:54Ah!
00:16:58Ah!
00:16:59Oh, my boy.
00:16:59Ah, beauty, beauty, beauty.
00:17:15Yes, the theatre!
00:17:29is pondering over the possibility of the bat's connection with the robbery.
00:17:34Potliff Lemming, the bank's president, is traveling in Europe
00:17:37and has not been reached.
00:17:40The police are spreading their dragnet
00:17:42in an effort to locate young Bailey, the cashier.
00:17:45Now, what on earth are you doing?
00:17:48I'm setting a bear trap for the bat if he ever comes flying around here.
00:17:58Well, I've got the other end fastened to the bed.
00:18:02Miss Neely, have me a look at the papers.
00:18:08Put on your glasses.
00:18:10I don't need no glasses.
00:18:12My eyes are all right.
00:18:16It's my arms. They ain't long enough.
00:18:18My arms, they ain't long enough.
00:18:22Now, do you see?
00:18:24Detective Anderson says that nobody's ever seen the bat.
00:18:28He might be a merchant, lawyer, doctor, or even a trusted servant.
00:18:39He heard me.
00:18:40Who?
00:18:41The bat.
00:18:52Who did that?
00:18:54I don't know.
00:18:56This house gets on my nerves.
00:18:58Won't let me sleep.
00:18:59Don't trust him.
00:19:00Caretaker means servant.
00:19:02Bat.
00:19:03Who won't let you sleep?
00:19:05Ghosts.
00:19:09Listen.
00:19:10He's here again.
00:19:11He opens windows when I'm looking.
00:19:13And I can't see anything.
00:19:15He slams doors.
00:19:17And there's no one there to slam them.
00:19:20He rolls things down the stairs.
00:19:22And there's no one there to make them roll.
00:19:25And that ain't all.
00:19:27He whispers to me from behind the wall.
00:19:36He's here again.
00:19:38Stay here long enough.
00:19:39And you'll see.
00:19:41Let's go back to the city.
00:19:43I'll not go back.
00:19:44I won't be frightened.
00:19:45I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:19:47Besides, I've sent for detectives.
00:19:54Detectives won't do you no good.
00:19:56The whole police force won't do no good.
00:19:59They can't stop ghosts.
00:20:06Nobody can stop ghosts.
00:20:09There.
00:20:10Did you hear what he said?
00:20:19He comes after me.
00:20:21I'm going to get him.
00:20:34I can't see a thing.
00:20:54I can't see a thing.
00:20:55Put these on.
00:20:57You don't think anybody will suspect.
00:21:01No, they don't know you.
00:21:13I can't see a thing.
00:21:13They'll help me.
00:21:14Now hurry.
00:21:15We've got so much to do.
00:21:33It's a storm coming up, fixing the electric light wire.
00:21:38Something's coming up.
00:21:39I can feel it's creeping all over me.
00:21:44It's a storm coming up.
00:21:50It's a fever.
00:21:51Take a pill and go to bed.
00:21:54I won't go to bed.
00:21:56I'm going to stay right here with you.
00:22:00Hello, Lizzie.
00:22:01Hello.
00:22:05Sorry, Andy, the train was late.
00:22:07But young Mr. Fleming was kind enough to drive me over from the station in his car.
00:22:11I think the less you have to do with that spendthrift nephew of Fleming's, the better it will be for
00:22:15you.
00:22:15Oh, but why, Andy?
00:22:17I don't like him.
00:22:19He leaves this house to me.
00:22:47There's a man who wants to see you.
00:22:49He says his name is Brook.
00:22:51He's a gardener.
00:22:52Looks funny to me.
00:22:57Yes, I meant to tell you I engaged him for you at the agency today.
00:23:04Well, what are you standing there for?
00:23:06Show him in.
00:23:07In here?
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:10All right.
00:23:12I'm sure you'll find his references very satisfactory.
00:23:16He was three years in his last place.
00:23:27So you're a professional gardener?
00:23:30Yes, ma'am.
00:23:32Do you know anything about perennials?
00:23:39Uh, yes.
00:23:40Uh, they're the ones that hold their leaves in the winter.
00:23:44Had any experience with rubeola?
00:23:49Oh, yes.
00:23:51And, um, alopecia?
00:23:57Yes, but, uh, they, they dry up if you don't water them.
00:24:03Hmm.
00:24:05And what is your treatment for uticaria?
00:24:09Oh, I, I thin it.
00:24:13You must show him to his room in the right upper wing.
00:24:16You mean next to mine?
00:24:18No, in the right upper wing.
00:24:21Oh.
00:24:31Oh, Dale.
00:24:33Do you know young Bailey, the missing cashier of the bank?
00:24:38Why, yes, Lisey.
00:24:41Why?
00:24:42Nothing.
00:24:48That new gardener, I don't like his looks.
00:24:51Supposing he's the bad?
00:24:53Well, I know he's not a gardener.
00:24:55Hmm?
00:24:57Because uticaria is hives, rubeola is measles, and alopecia is baldness.
00:25:04And knowing all this, you're gonna let him stay in this house?
00:25:07Yes.
00:25:09Until I find out why my niece brought him here.
00:25:11Oh, you're like all the rest of the women.
00:25:13A good-looking fellow comes in the door, and your brains fly out the window.
00:25:30Warning.
00:25:32Get out of this house while there is yet time.
00:25:35Disaster awaits all who remain here.
00:25:38I'm leaving now.
00:25:52I'm leaving now.
00:25:54Doctor?
00:25:55Lawyer?
00:25:56Merchant?
00:25:57Doctor?
00:26:02Sorry to trouble you, Miss Van Gora.
00:26:06But circumstances surrounding the bank robber in Oakdale
00:26:10made an imperative.
00:26:12Who do you think robbed the bank?
00:26:14Hashir.
00:26:15A young chap named Bailey.
00:26:18Got away with a cool half million.
00:26:20And all in cash, too.
00:26:22And Mr. Flemming, the bank's president, is on his way back from Europe.
00:26:25Yes.
00:26:26It's an account of his unexpected return, that I call it.
00:26:31Now, Miss Van Gorder,
00:26:32it's only natural that he would expect you to arrange to vacate the house.
00:26:39Hmm.
00:26:40Well, he's not the only one interested in my vacating this property, Doctor.
00:26:43What do you mean?
00:26:44Read that.
00:26:46It was thrown through that window just before you came in.
00:26:59Oh, Doctor.
00:27:00You might fasten that window.
00:27:02Sorry.
00:27:09That's the second warning I've had.
00:27:11Oh, of course.
00:27:12Then you decided to...
00:27:13Exactly.
00:27:14To remain right here.
00:27:16I don't intend to leave until I've learned the meaning of all this.
00:27:25Well, Doctor.
00:27:27You didn't talk to this window.
00:27:29Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:27:31I thought I did.
00:27:36Here.
00:27:39A man by the name of Anderson wants to see you.
00:27:42You'll pardon me, Doctor?
00:27:43Certainly.
00:27:49Your aunt is a very determined woman.
00:27:52Why, yes, she is.
00:27:57Won't you sit down?
00:28:06I suppose the reason you answered my call so promptly
00:28:08was because I hinted that the bat might be connected
00:28:10to the mysterious happenings in this house.
00:28:12Exactly.
00:28:13Well, I'm not sure that he is.
00:28:16However,
00:28:17I'll tell you everything so you can draw your own conclusions.
00:28:22Splendid.
00:28:23You should persuade your aunt
00:28:25to leave the house.
00:28:31It's too isolated.
00:28:34Two miles from the next village.
00:28:36Enough shrubbery around the ground to hide a dozen assassins.
00:28:41Oh, but Doctor,
00:28:43what enemies could my aunt have?
00:28:45There seems to be no matures.
00:28:48No.
00:28:49Well, I'll get you some.
00:28:51Very kind.
00:29:17I'm sorry to have troubled you,
00:29:19but tobacco is something.
00:29:20Every doctor forbids his patient,
00:29:22but prescribes it for himself.
00:29:27Right away.
00:29:30Is your hand a revolver?
00:29:32Why, yes.
00:29:33I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's late.
00:29:47Be sure to telephone if something happens.
00:29:52Because something serious is liable to happen in this house at any time.
00:29:59Good night.
00:30:07Good night.
00:30:10Young Fleming is a dentist of the world kind.
00:30:14I see.
00:30:15And you think he leased this house to you without his uncle's consent, eh?
00:30:19Yes.
00:30:20To get the rent money to gamble with.
00:30:25And now you think he's trying to frighten you out before his uncle's return.
00:30:29Is that it?
00:30:33How do you know Courtley Fleming's in Europe?
00:30:36I read it in the paper.
00:30:43You shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers, dear lady.
00:30:45But Dr. Van Ries said he had a cablegram problem.
00:30:51Did...
00:30:52Did you see it?
00:30:53No.
00:30:55I thought so.
00:31:00I'm going to find out who's trying to frighten you out of this house, Miss Van Corder.
00:31:08Where do those stairs lead to?
00:31:09To the...
00:31:14Is that you, Lizzy?
00:31:36Careful.
00:31:37There's a detective down there.
00:31:39They heard you pounding.
00:31:42It doesn't sound hollow here.
00:31:44Brooke.
00:31:46When did you hear Courtley Fleming arrange with the architect for a secret room?
00:31:50They were talking in the office last summer.
00:31:52But when I came in, Mr. Fleming stopped.
00:31:55Well, then...
00:31:55Then if there really is such a room, it must be in the new plans.
00:31:59Oh, if we could only find those plans.
00:32:02Dale, you're doing an awful lot for me.
00:32:05Well, you know why.
00:32:06You bet.
00:32:08Oh, not now.
00:32:09I've got an idea.
00:32:13Oh, Brooke.
00:32:22I've got an idea.
00:32:23So you think there's a possibility of the bats being concerned in this?
00:32:27The bats liable to be concerned in anything where there's half a million dollars at stake.
00:32:35Here, here, here, here.
00:32:36Wait a moment.
00:32:36Wait a moment.
00:32:38Come here.
00:32:41I want to talk to you.
00:32:43Would you mind telling me your name?
00:32:46No.
00:32:47I wouldn't mind.
00:32:51Well, what is it?
00:32:53Lizzie Allen.
00:32:56Lizzie Allen.
00:32:57Splendid.
00:32:59Do you like it?
00:33:02And, uh, your age?
00:33:1322.
00:33:16She's 42.
00:33:19Well, I ain't the only one in this house that's over 40.
00:33:22That will do.
00:33:24See, the coffee and rolls are placed in the library for Mr. Anderson.
00:33:27If you'll pardon me, I think I'll rest for a while.
00:33:29It's quite all right, quite all right. I've got plenty of work to do.
00:33:36The caretaker will show you to your room.
00:33:37He's the only servant we have at present.
00:33:43And he wouldn't say if he wasn't crazy.
00:33:59I've gone for that.
00:34:10And he even looked like it.
00:34:12Good morning.
00:34:19Let's watch this stuff again.
00:34:20I see the whole thing on the app.
00:34:20Here, I'm going to show you.
00:34:22So what's your way, please?
00:34:36It's very important, the bank's money, yes, thank you.
00:35:59Stop that.
00:36:01Stop it.
00:36:01What did you see?
00:36:03The bat came through that window and threw up the stairs.
00:36:07It's crazy.
00:36:12Now stop it at once and go to bed.
00:36:14Come on.
00:36:15Come on.
00:36:18Come on.
00:36:20Come on.
00:36:37Come on.
00:36:40Come on.
00:36:45Oh, it's you, Mr. Flemming.
00:36:48Yes.
00:36:49I repped several times but no answer, so I used the pass key.
00:36:52Your call seemed urgent.
00:36:54What's wrong?
00:36:54The money, stolen from the bank.
00:36:56I think it's in this house.
00:36:58What makes you think so?
00:37:10Here, here, here.
00:37:10Wait a minute.
00:37:11I want to talk to you.
00:37:23What a problem.
00:37:31What's wrong?
00:37:32No problem.
00:37:43Let's get there.
00:37:44Get out of here!
00:37:48Get out of here!
00:37:54Get out of here!
00:37:58There's nobody there.
00:38:00What?
00:38:18Yes, a hidden room would show on the blueprint.
00:38:22That's what I thought.
00:38:28You might look in that old chest in the dining room.
00:38:30My uncle used to keep blue prints there.
00:38:34Oh, thank you.
00:38:36I knew you'd help us.
00:39:12Oh, thank you.
00:39:14You found them.
00:39:17What if I have?
00:39:19The money's here.
00:39:20Don't you think I'm fool enough to turn it over to you?
00:39:22But it belongs to the bank.
00:39:24I only want to return it.
00:39:25Why should you be so anxious to return it?
00:39:28Because I want to clear Brooke.
00:39:30I'm engaged to him.
00:39:32And even my aunt mustn't know that until we can find the stolen money.
00:39:35Won't you help us?
00:39:36How do I know you're telling the truth?
00:39:39Well, if you don't trust me, there's a detective upstairs.
00:39:42Give him the plans and let's search together.
00:39:44A detective?
00:39:44What's a detective doing here?
00:39:45People have been trying to break in.
00:39:47What people?
00:39:47I don't know.
00:39:48Then the money is here.
00:39:49What are you going to do?
00:39:51I'm going to find that hidden room and I don't need the help of any detective.
00:39:54This is my uncle's house and everything in it belongs to him.
00:39:57If you leave this room with that blueprint, I'll scream.
00:39:59And if you do, I'll tell them the new gardener is Brooke Bailey.
00:40:03The missing cashier at the Oakdale Bank.
00:40:06Give me that blueprint.
00:40:11Give me those blueprints.
00:40:41It's Richard right here.
00:40:42Mr. Fleming, somebody shot him from the top of the stairs.
00:40:47What do you mean by somebody? Did you see anybody?
00:40:50No, a place where he blinded me.
00:40:56Who are you?
00:40:57The gardener.
00:40:58The gardener, eh?
00:41:00One shot fired.
00:41:01I fired that shot myself last night.
00:41:06Splendid.
00:41:07Quick thinking, Miss Van Gorda.
00:41:09But I'm afraid I shall have to arrest your niece.
00:41:12You can't do that until after the coroner's verdict.
00:41:15And you'll have to wait to Dr. Van Gorda for that.
00:41:17I see.
00:41:18Let me tell you something, Miss Van Gorda.
00:41:20When I find it necessary to make an arrest, I'll make it.
00:41:23And I'll not wait for any coroner's verdict.
00:41:26Now I'll tell you what to do.
00:41:29Take your niece over to that chair and say nothing to her.
00:41:32I'll do the talking.
00:41:41I'll tell you what to do.
00:41:41Well, you would have a detective.
00:41:44Now I hope you're satisfied.
00:41:50What became of the rest of this?
00:41:53I don't know.
00:41:56Where is the torn piece?
00:41:58I don't know.
00:41:59Don't lie to me.
00:42:01That piece showed the hidden room.
00:42:03And you shot Fleming to get it.
00:42:05Oh, I didn't.
00:42:06No?
00:42:07Then, my dear young lady, how does it happen that the nephew
00:42:09of the president of the Oakdale Bank
00:42:11was killed in his uncle's house the night after the bank was robbed?
00:42:15And the only person present at his murder
00:42:17was the girl who was engaged to the runaway cashier.
00:42:19Engaged? Is that true, Dale?
00:42:21I'll say it's true.
00:42:21Yes.
00:42:23Did you locate the hidden room on this piece before it was torn?
00:42:25No.
00:42:26Is Fleming located?
00:42:27I don't know.
00:42:28Are you listening to me?
00:42:42Anybody home here?
00:43:06Who's on that?
00:43:07Say, what kind of a joint is this?
00:43:11Who are you?
00:43:13Oh, I?
00:43:14Who do you think I am?
00:43:16W.T. Jones, super sloth of Oakdale County.
00:43:20Who are you?
00:43:23Did... did you hire this fellow?
00:43:24Yes, but over the telephone.
00:43:26From the Jadkins detective agency.
00:43:29Oh.
00:43:30I'm in charge here.
00:43:33Lieutenant Detective Anderson of the city police.
00:43:35Did you look around outside?
00:43:37Did I?
00:43:38That's what I was doing when somebody sucked me with that piano.
00:43:43Dick Fleming.
00:43:45Who killed him?
00:43:46That's exactly the reason I sent for you.
00:43:48I got you.
00:43:50Just give me time, lady.
00:43:53I ain't no cheap gumshoer.
00:43:55Detecting crime with me is a work of art.
00:44:01The garage ringing.
00:44:03That's strange.
00:44:04There can't be anybody there.
00:44:06Just a moment.
00:44:06I'll answer that.
00:44:08Hello?
00:44:10Hello?
00:44:11Hello?
00:44:12Hello?
00:44:13Somebody calling for help in the garage.
00:44:15Hello?
00:44:16Hello?
00:44:18They've run off.
00:44:20I'll see who it is.
00:44:22You sit there.
00:44:51There go the lights again.
00:44:53Who's looking with them?
00:45:07You hear that?
00:45:08It's coming from behind that wall.
00:45:10Shh.
00:45:12Stop it.
00:45:16Andy, that painting moved.
00:45:21Oh, I feel somebody looking at us.
00:45:23Where?
00:45:24I don't know.
00:45:25I can't see them.
00:45:27But I can see you.
00:45:29And if you're not out of this house by morning,
00:45:32you'll suffer terrible consequences.
00:45:38Look, Andy.
00:45:39The picture's moving back into place again.
00:45:52Look behind that picture.
00:46:14Look behind that.
00:46:15I don't know.
00:46:17I think so.
00:46:19Look.
00:46:20The window.
00:46:22Look behind that.
00:46:26Now it's gone.
00:46:28Now who on earth will be ringing that doorbell?
00:46:30Miss Bailey, I'm not going to answer it.
00:46:33Yes, she is.
00:46:35With everybody hollering and bells ringing,
00:46:38a detective can't do nothing.
00:46:45Now, what made that do that?
00:46:50Doctor, Henry.
00:46:51Well, pardon my coming back,
00:46:53but I must have left my cigarette case.
00:46:57I'm so glad you returned, Doctor.
00:46:59A terrible thing has happened.
00:47:03Young Fleming has been murdered.
00:47:06Murdered?
00:47:07Yes, murdered.
00:47:17My niece will tell you everything.
00:47:26I was standing at the foot of the stairs,
00:47:29when young Mr. Fleming started up.
00:47:31What stairs?
00:47:32The stairs in the living room.
00:47:34Why did young Fleming come here?
00:47:37I sent for him.
00:47:38Why did you send for him?
00:47:46You say you tore a piece of blue print out of his hand?
00:47:51Yes, I...
00:47:52What became of it?
00:47:54Well, I was afraid to keep it,
00:47:56so I hid it in one of the rolls on the tray
00:47:58that Lizzie has just taken to the dining room.
00:48:02I see.
00:48:05May I have something to cover the body?
00:48:07Yes.
00:48:15Is this done?
00:48:16Thanks, yes.
00:48:19Gosh.
00:48:20I'd like to get a headlock on the guy
00:48:23that pulled that painting stunt.
00:48:29You needn't be disturbed,
00:48:31because the detective suspects your niece.
00:48:34I'll take care of that.
00:48:36Now, may I go in the next room
00:48:38and write my report about young Fleming's death?
00:48:40I'll fetch you some writing material.
00:48:42Don't trouble.
00:48:49May I close the door?
00:48:51Of course.
00:49:23I'll take care of that.
00:49:24Pardon me, won't you?
00:49:27May I inquire just who you are?
00:49:30I'm Dr. Van Ries.
00:49:32Oh, yes.
00:49:33Yes, of course.
00:49:34Mrs. Van Corder explained about you.
00:49:37Well, my name is Anderson.
00:49:39Lieutenant Detective Anderson of the city police.
00:49:43And now that we're better acquainted, Doctor,
00:49:45I'll...
00:49:45I presume to trouble you for that piece of blueprint.
00:49:50Blueprint?
00:49:51What blueprint?
00:49:54Well, the little piece of paper
00:49:55that you took from the tray.
00:49:57You're mistaken, Anderson.
00:49:59I took nothing from the tray.
00:50:01Then, my dear Doctor,
00:50:02it's time I consulted my oculist.
00:50:05Are you insinuating that I'm a liar?
00:50:07Well, you can call it anything you like.
00:50:11But I want that piece of paper.
00:50:22All right.
00:50:24Thank you, Doctor.
00:50:27You know, it's peculiar,
00:50:28but sometimes these little bits of paper
00:50:30are very, very important.
00:50:32Really?
00:50:35Fireplace, eh?
00:50:38There are dozens of fireplaces in this house.
00:50:43Hidden room.
00:50:44Fireplace.
00:50:45You don't believe in that hidden room, Bunk.
00:50:48It's the girl's imagination.
00:50:49Yes.
00:50:50Quite possible, Doctor.
00:50:53Still, I...
00:50:54I wonder who's trying to frighten the ladies out of this house.
00:50:59Have you any idea?
00:51:01How should I know?
00:51:03Or I wonder if you happen to be very well acquainted
00:51:05with Courtley Fleming,
00:51:06who's supposed to be abroad.
00:51:13You needn't answer that question
00:51:14if it embarrasses you, Doctor.
00:51:18I don't know what you are driving at,
00:51:20but there is a limit.
00:51:21Well, let that limit stop
00:51:22or it interferes with my work.
00:51:23What do you mean?
00:51:24You heard what I said.
00:51:25Are you trying to mix me up
00:51:26with that bank robbery?
00:51:27I only know that young Fleming
00:51:28was killed in this house tonight
00:51:29trying to locate that hidden room.
00:51:33But no one had better try
00:51:34to prevent me from locating it.
00:51:38You understand that, don't you, Doctor?
00:51:40Your insurations are an insult.
00:51:42Sorry.
00:51:48I'll see you later, Anderson.
00:51:50Any time, Doctor.
00:51:51Any time.
00:52:28Any time?
00:52:29That's a clue.
00:52:30How'd you do it?
00:52:30Any time?
00:52:33Any time.
00:52:36I'll go back home.
00:52:39Now, what on Earth do you
00:52:41do all of that?
00:52:42It's for your feet.
00:52:45If you'll ever go to bed.
00:53:08No one's at the garage.
00:53:11Strange Detective Anderson hasn't returned.
00:53:14Maybe he's found the guy that moved that fainting.
00:53:17I hope somebody finds something around here pretty soon.
00:53:21I'm not tired. I can't stand any longer.
00:53:24What is it? Where is it?
00:53:27I'm scalded.
00:53:29A minute ago I couldn't stand.
00:53:32No, I can't sit.
00:53:35Oh, Doctor.
00:53:37You haven't seen Detective Anderson, have you?
00:53:41Why?
00:53:42Went to the grounds a short time ago to make an investigation.
00:53:45Hasn't returned.
00:53:46Oh, suppose I go and look for him.
00:53:48Oh, thank you.
00:54:12Look straight ahead.
00:54:14Get those people out of this house or I'll burn you alive.
00:54:17Look straight ahead.
00:54:18So, I'm going to hold you.
00:54:18Don't turn around until you've counted ten.
00:54:22Start counting now.
00:54:26Now go.
00:54:42She's joking.
00:54:45Ain't she joking?
00:54:46What is it?
00:54:49The bat.
00:54:54Put up your hands.
00:54:56Stop.
00:54:58It's the law speaking.
00:55:01Reach for the ceiling.
00:55:06Oh, he's ill. Get some water.
00:55:08Don't wait. Don't go near him.
00:55:10Wait.
00:55:11Wait till I...
00:55:12stretch him.
00:55:18I've got nothing.
00:55:19Get a pillow.
00:55:21Who be I?
00:55:26Here, drink this.
00:55:37Yes.
00:55:46Dale, get the whiskey.
00:55:50You mean to tell me that you've got booze in the house?
00:55:53Yes, for emergency.
00:55:55Well, that's the reason everybody's trying to bust in here.
00:55:59Well, these doors are locked.
00:56:01Who locked them?
00:56:03Who's he?
00:56:04Caretaker.
00:56:05Well, what do you mean by him?
00:56:07He's coming.
00:56:08He's coming after us all.
00:56:11Who?
00:56:12The ghost.
00:56:14He said he didn't get you all out of here.
00:56:16He... he referred me to a curse.
00:56:18What does this ghost look like?
00:56:20Awful.
00:56:20He was all in white.
00:56:22Only he didn't have any face.
00:56:24He means he wore a mask.
00:56:25The door is...
00:56:29The lights are going out again.
00:56:41They shot at me.
00:56:43I quit.
00:56:44And I'm going to get out of here.
00:56:47How?
00:57:10One.
00:57:13Two.
00:57:14Three.
00:57:16Four.
00:57:17Try it again.
00:57:19One.
00:57:21Two.
00:57:26One more.
00:57:27Listen.
00:57:32Somebody trying to get in.
00:57:34It's the ghost.
00:57:40Dale.
00:57:41I just saw Bank of Fleming on the roof.
00:57:43Did you hear that gardener called her, Dale?
00:57:46Gardener nothing.
00:57:48He's the missing cashier of the Oakdale Bank.
00:57:50And I hereby arrest you for murder, robbery, lashner,
00:57:53and everything else that's wrong around here.
00:57:57Andy.
00:57:58Don't let him arrest Brooke.
00:57:59I made him impersonate a gardener
00:58:01so we might look for the hidden room
00:58:02and find the stolen money.
00:58:04I'm sure it's hidden in this house.
00:58:05What?
00:58:06Who would hide money in this house?
00:58:08Bank of Fleming.
00:58:09He's in Europe.
00:58:12Brooke had to disappear to avoid arrest.
00:58:14There was evidence framed against him.
00:58:16Oh, we didn't want to deceive you, but...
00:58:18You didn't.
00:58:20Gardeners don't have manicured fingernails.
00:58:38want to shoot me.
00:58:39Don't let you know.
00:58:39No, no.
00:58:43But I'm not going to get into you.
00:58:43You did have to stop her.
00:58:43but I could see you.
00:58:44You killed me.
00:58:54It was almost too late.
00:58:55I did not come here to see you.
00:58:55I lost my mind.
00:59:35When Detective Anderson comes, send him up to the attic.
00:59:38Miss Neely, aren't you going to take me with you?
00:59:41Oh, you're trouble enough on the ground floor.
00:59:43You'd be a nuisance on the roof.
00:59:49If I yell, you come.
00:59:51Who, me?
00:59:52Yes, you.
01:00:11Now, I want you to show me the exact spot on the roof
01:00:13where you think you saw Banker Fleming.
01:00:52So, let's go.
01:03:25Help me.
01:03:27Help me.
01:03:27Keep quiet or I'll kill you.
01:03:29No.
01:03:30I want the combination of that safe.
01:03:32I never saw the safe before.
01:03:35I don't know the combination.
01:03:37Don't lie to me.
01:03:39Don't lie to me.
01:03:39I'm not lying.
01:03:42You can't get away from me.
01:03:44Quiet.
01:03:45Quiet.
01:03:46Not a word.
01:03:47Not a sound.
01:03:49I'm going to get you.
01:03:50I'm going to get you to your ear.
01:03:52Stand still.
01:03:53Until I put my hands around your little white throat and squeeze and squeeze until you're dead.
01:03:58Who's in this room?
01:03:59Who came in this room?
01:04:00Get away from that safe.
01:04:02Help.
01:04:04Let me out of here.
01:04:05Let me out of here.
01:04:07Let me out of here.
01:04:07Let me out of here.
01:04:09Kill him.
01:04:11He's killing him.
01:04:12Oh, somebody come.
01:04:14Help me.
01:04:16Please help.
01:04:17Get me out of here.
01:04:18Oh, get me out of here.
01:04:31There's someone behind that fireplace.
01:04:36It sounds like Dale.
01:04:43Get some water, quick.
01:04:44Dale, Dale, what is it, darling?
01:04:46Speak to me.
01:04:49I wonder what old Assault and Battery's doing.
01:04:51My instinct tells me we ought to get a doctor for him.
01:04:55I don't like that doctor.
01:04:57One good look at him would cure anybody.
01:04:59He ain't there.
01:05:01Who ain't?
01:05:01Him.
01:05:04Why?
01:05:04Where?
01:05:05Where'd he go?
01:05:06Maybe he weren't there in the first place.
01:05:08Say, what are you trying to do?
01:05:10Trying to kid me?
01:05:11No.
01:05:12But we're all commencing to see things.
01:05:14And when you get like that, you've got to do something.
01:05:17And I'm going to do it.
01:05:20Now, don't tell anybody.
01:05:21Cross my heart.
01:05:23You need a lot of courage around this shack.
01:05:38I'm blind.
01:05:40Who?
01:05:41Who's running up them stairs?
01:05:42Take me.
01:05:43There's someone in this room besides us.
01:05:46Where?
01:05:46Where's my batches?
01:05:48I got them.
01:05:49I got them.
01:05:55Say, what do you mean by putting out that light?
01:06:01What?
01:06:02I put it out?
01:06:04Give me back my bottle.
01:06:07You say there were two of them?
01:06:09And the bat shot the other one?
01:06:12Oh, it was terrible.
01:06:26Look.
01:06:37I can't believe.
01:06:48I saw your light, and I thought it was Detective Anderson's.
01:06:52I've had no luck looking for him outside.
01:06:57Doctor, there's a man behind that fireplace.
01:07:06Well, if you'll hold this candle,
01:07:09I think we can find what's trying to frighten me out of this house.
01:07:13It was right here that I touched it.
01:07:25I can see him in that corner.
01:07:26Doctor, hold that candle a little higher.
01:07:31I can see him in that corner!
01:07:39Stop that man! He's coming down the stairs!
01:07:43Stop him! He's coming down the stairs!
01:07:45What? What are you going to do?
01:07:53Say! What are you shooting at?
01:07:59Where is he? He didn't come down here!
01:08:01He must be hiding in one of the rooms upstairs!
01:08:03Come on, we've got to get him!
01:08:11Come on!
01:08:11Doctor, why did you put out that candle?
01:08:13I was so startled, it slipped out of my hand!
01:08:16You deliberately put it out! I saw you!
01:08:26I saw you!
01:08:26He got away!
01:08:27Thanks to Doctor Van Roo!
01:08:29Leave me!
01:08:30Leave me!
01:08:33There's a man following me up those stairs!
01:08:58What's your game, Vinrys?
01:09:00What do you mean?
01:09:02You know very well what I mean!
01:09:05You tried to kill me downstairs!
01:09:08You make a mistake, Anderson!
01:09:10Oh, no, no, no, Doctor!
01:09:12You're the one who's made the mistake!
01:09:15Ask him why he put out the candle!
01:09:17And let the man escape from behind that fireplace!
01:09:20I don't have to ask him!
01:09:22If his accomplice, Banker Fleming, were caught,
01:09:26they couldn't frighten the ladies out of this house!
01:09:30Nor could they split the bank's funds between them!
01:09:34You think Fleming robbed his own bank?
01:09:37I don't think!
01:09:38I know he did!
01:09:40Then if we can find Fleming, you're cleared!
01:09:43Search him!
01:09:56Now we're getting somewhere!
01:09:59I told you to keep out of my affairs, Vinrys!
01:10:01Why, that's my revolver!
01:10:03How did he get it?
01:10:05Took it out of my pocket when he hit me over the head!
01:10:14The next time you handcuff a man, Doctor,
01:10:17be sure and remove the key from his pocket!
01:10:20Open that door!
01:10:23Now you get in there!
01:10:29I'll see you later, Doctor!
01:10:33Lock it!
01:10:37Put the key in your pocket!
01:10:43Now we'll give this hidden room the once-over!
01:10:45Shh!
01:10:48Listen!
01:10:54He's the bat!
01:10:56I know he's the bat!
01:10:59Well, if he ain't the bat,
01:11:01then he's in cahoots with him!
01:11:14He fell in downstairs!
01:11:16Didn't know who he was or how he got here!
01:11:19When we looked for him, blew it!
01:11:22He was gone!
01:11:30Look at me!
01:11:33Look at me!
01:11:36Look at me!
01:11:40You know me?
01:11:49Did...
01:11:50Did you try to communicate from the garage a while ago?
01:11:55Garage?
01:11:58Yes, I...
01:12:00I tried.
01:12:05Have you...
01:12:06Have you ever heard of Detective Anderson?
01:12:08Huh?
01:12:12Think!
01:12:14Anderson's the name!
01:12:16And...
01:12:20Anderson...
01:12:21No!
01:12:22No!
01:12:35When...
01:12:36When you left those people downstairs, where did you go?
01:12:44Answer me!
01:12:46Where did you go?
01:12:48I don't know.
01:12:56I don't know.
01:12:57Stalling.
01:12:57Keep him covered.
01:12:59If he makes one move, shoot!
01:13:01And shoot to kill, understand?
01:13:02I gotcha!
01:13:07We should have discovered this easily.
01:13:10Anyone could tell it was phony.
01:13:12No flu.
01:13:15My niece says there's a secret panel.
01:13:17With an entrance from the outside.
01:13:19Oh, that's so.
01:13:21Would you mind telling me exactly what happened?
01:13:24I'll try.
01:13:25I...
01:13:26I was so frightened, it seemed like a terrible nightmare.
01:13:30The fireplace closed, just like this.
01:13:46I...
01:13:47There were a lot of papers on top, and I thought I might find a problem next there.
01:13:51I was looking for them, and I heard a...
01:13:53It was feeling a sound like something breathing.
01:13:56Something breathing?
01:13:57Where did that come from?
01:13:59Well, I...
01:13:59I saw it in the corner, and...
01:14:01I looked over the corner, and there was a shadow thing.
01:14:04Why that book page?
01:14:05I see.
01:14:08Then what happened?
01:14:08Well, I...
01:14:09I...
01:14:10I looked up, and...
01:14:11There was something standing there.
01:14:13It was all in black.
01:14:14It didn't have doubted what it was.
01:14:16It was covered in a dark floor.
01:14:18I couldn't see it.
01:14:23Hmm.
01:14:26I'm afraid your niece must have imagined there was a secret panel there.
01:14:37Well, there may have been money in that safe at some time, but it...
01:14:40It certainly isn't there now.
01:14:41Look!
01:14:42A man just crossed that skylight carrying a satchel.
01:14:44A satchel?
01:14:45Yes.
01:14:45I'll get him.
01:14:47Wait.
01:14:52Nobody crossed that skylight.
01:14:54I just wanted to get rid of that detective and do a little detecting myself.
01:15:00No.
01:15:02The man the bat shot...
01:15:04Evidently managed to remove that satchel from that safe before the bat attacked him.
01:15:10Now, there's just one place possible he could have hidden it.
01:15:12The hammer.
01:15:14No, behind it.
01:15:16Oh!
01:15:17It's here!
01:15:22See if it contains the bank's money.
01:15:25Look out.
01:15:25There might be a bomb in it.
01:15:27It's for money.
01:15:28All of it?
01:15:29That's it.
01:15:30Now, if you can find Courtless Fleming, our mystery is about ended.
01:15:50It's Banker Fleming and he's dead.
01:15:54It's the ghost I saw.
01:15:57The wristwatch with a luminous dial.
01:16:00The eye that Lizzie saw, going up the stairs.
01:16:10Hey, look!
01:16:13There's a fire down there.
01:16:15It's the garage.
01:16:17It's the garage.
01:16:19Come on, get busy.
01:16:20We've got to put it out.
01:16:27Put that satchel back where you found it.
01:16:36It's not a sound if you value your lives.
01:16:52The man who started that fire did it to get you out of this room.
01:16:56And the moment he's coming back, either through that door or through the window.
01:16:59He's after the money.
01:17:01Now pick up your guns.
01:17:04Put out the lights.
01:17:07Now get back.
01:17:08Back into the shadows.
01:17:12When he comes, be quiet.
01:17:19He's coming.
01:17:21Remember, he's a killer.
01:17:35He's coming.
01:17:37Remember, he's a killer.
01:18:04Now, I'm going to take a look.
01:18:09I'm going to take a look.
01:18:12I'm going to take this thing.
01:18:13I'm even more than my second hand.
01:18:13I'm going to take a look.
01:18:13Let's go.
01:18:34You're the one who hit me over the head and locked me in the garage, eh?
01:18:38Take off his mask.
01:18:40It was a long chase, Mr. Bat.
01:18:42We've got you and got you red-handed.
01:18:49Where did this lead to?
01:18:50To the long way, I think.
01:18:51Let's get to it.
01:18:52Keep staying here in case it comes back.
01:18:58Wait, wait, wait.
01:18:59It'll take the two of us here.
01:19:01Here, here, take this.
01:19:18Woo-hoo!
01:19:21Come on.
01:20:01It's locked. I'm breaking it out.
01:20:15I've caught him! I've caught him!
01:20:19I've caught him! I've caught him!
01:20:21I've caught him! I've caught him!
01:20:23Get away!
01:20:27Come, bring a rope! Bring a rope! Do something!
01:20:29Come quick!
01:20:35I've caught him! I've caught him!
01:20:44I've caught him!
01:20:47I've caught him!
01:20:48I've caught him!
01:20:50Get away!
01:20:52Get away!
01:20:52Get away!
01:20:53He's gone!
01:20:54Tie him up!
01:20:56Tie him up!
01:20:59Tie him up! I've caught him!
01:21:02Take that off!
01:21:02Come quick! I've caught him!
01:21:05I've caught him!
01:21:07He's caught him!
01:21:09Get away!
01:21:10Take off that mask!
01:21:14Detective Anderson!
01:21:16I'm Anderson.
01:21:18He stole my papers, locked me in the garage and impersonated me.
01:21:22What I'd like to know is, how did you get the dope from headquarters on this case?
01:21:27The way I get everything.
01:21:29With my brain.
01:21:31I've got the greatest brain that ever existed!
01:21:35Stick him up!
01:21:37Get back there, you!
01:21:39Say, you!
01:21:40I said, put up your hands!
01:21:43Did you hear me?
01:21:45Stick him up!
01:21:46Why should I?
01:21:47I removed the cartridges from that gun not ten minutes ago.
01:21:52All right, boys!
01:21:53Tie him in that tree!
01:21:54Get him in there!
01:21:55Get back!
01:21:57Auntie, how did you ever think to say that?
01:22:00By telling my first lie in an otherwise stainless life.
01:22:05You think you've got me, eh?
01:22:09Let me tell you this.
01:22:11There never was a jail built strong enough to hold the bat.
01:22:17And after I've paid my respects to your cheap lock-up,
01:22:23I shall return.
01:22:25At night.
01:22:29The bat always flies at night.
01:22:33And always in a straight line.
01:22:43Wait a minute!
01:22:44Wait a minute!
01:22:45Don't do that!
01:22:45We're not through yet!
01:22:46Heat your feet, everybody!
01:22:48Don't put out that card!
01:22:51Pull back that curtain!
01:22:52Turn on the light!
01:22:55Where's the bat?
01:22:57Coming!
01:23:11Ladies and gentlemen,
01:23:14I'm here to appeal to you on behalf of a very dear friend of mine.
01:23:19The bat.
01:23:20If people really discover his identity, he's heartbroken.
01:23:24And he goes around for days, killing people without the slightest enjoyment for his work.
01:23:29Now you, dear people, you've found him out.
01:23:33You've torn the mask from his face.
01:23:36And he really feels quite badly about it.
01:23:39So in order to keep the bat happy and contented,
01:23:42I want you all to promise me that you won't divulge his identity to anyone.
01:23:47Let him try to fool your friends as he hopes he's fooled you.
01:23:51And in return for your consideration in this matter,
01:23:54he promises not to haunt your homes,
01:23:57steal your money,
01:23:59or frighten your little children.
01:24:02Is it a bargain?
01:24:06And now, ladies and gentlemen, before I conclude,
01:24:09may I be permitted to say that
01:24:10the bat simply pursues his murderous calling for your entertainment.
01:24:15And that underneath his horrible exterior,
01:24:18he really isn't such a bad fellow at all.
01:24:21And...
01:24:22and I ought to know.
