00:00:22Oh, isn't it big?
00:00:25And dark, too.
00:00:26There was a light in the upper window when we came in the driveway.
00:00:29I wonder if it has any ghosts.
00:00:35I was only fooling, Daisy.
00:00:43That'll be $2.65, sir.
00:00:49Keep the change.
00:00:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:00:54Say, mister, is there anything wrong with this house?
00:00:57I don't know, sir.
00:00:59I haven't been out here since the date of the funeral.
00:01:06Good luck.
00:01:11I wonder what made him say that.
00:01:14Why, they always have a funeral when anybody dies.
00:01:16I don't mean that.
00:01:17He said, good luck.
00:01:18Dear, why do you stand here trying to make something out of nothing?
00:01:22Let's go in.
00:01:23Sure, let's go in.
00:01:24Here, let's go in.
00:01:41Don't seem to be able to get it open.
00:01:43Here's my flashlight, mommy.
00:01:48Don't!
00:01:49Don't!
00:01:50Come on.
00:02:17Let's go.
00:02:20What one is it?
00:02:21Well, I thought...
00:02:23I thought...
00:02:24Oh, nothing.
00:02:27Oh, there are some candles, Dad.
00:02:29We'd like them.
00:02:36It was just the door.
00:02:40I wonder if the electric light company has turned on the lights.
00:02:56Who are you?
00:02:58What are you?
00:03:01Let's get out of here.
00:03:42That's what my blondie is.
00:03:43Lovable feet both flat
00:03:46That's what my Dagwood is
00:03:48Blondie's not always right
00:03:50I let her think she is
00:03:52All of my thoughts are bright
00:03:54Long as he thinks they're his
00:03:56Life of us is
00:03:58Fun and crazy
00:03:59Baby doubling
00:04:00Us and Daisy
00:04:01What a family
00:04:04Incredible
00:04:04Bumsteadable
00:04:05Hurry you'll miss your bus
00:04:07Watch out you'll burn your stew
00:04:10Nothing's too much for us
00:04:12As long as with me there's you
00:04:14Dagwood and Blondie
00:04:16Blondie and Dagwood
00:04:17Always with me there's you
00:05:02Come on Daisy
00:05:03Dagwood
00:05:04Breakfast is ready
00:05:05Okay
00:05:09Blondie
00:05:10Don't you know any better than to walk underneath the ladder
00:05:12That's bad luck
00:05:14Old pish and tush
00:05:16Oh is that so
00:05:18Well you'll find out
00:05:19Just wait and see
00:05:20Something will happen to you before this day is over
00:05:23Old pish and tush
00:05:28Baby dumpling
00:05:29Your breakfast is on the table
00:05:30I'm not interested in breakfast
00:05:33I want to find out what we're gonna have for supper
00:05:36You get down from there
00:05:38You're growing more like your father every day
00:05:42That's natural
00:05:45Well Mr. Smarty
00:05:46You can go sit in the punishment chair
00:05:48And think that remark over
00:05:57She wouldn't get the paper
00:06:03Well at least she didn't talk back to her mother
00:06:05I'm sorry mommy
00:06:07But please make up your mind
00:06:08Where am I gonna sit
00:06:11Sit at the table
00:06:12Here
00:06:13I'll help you
00:06:15As long as I have to sit in the high chair mommy
00:06:17Please let me get in by myself
00:06:26Poor Daisy
00:06:27Maybe she's tired of doing the same thing over and over
00:06:30I know I am
00:06:31Laundry and dishes
00:06:33And sweeping
00:06:34And ironing
00:06:35And dusting
00:06:36And cooking
00:06:36I wish I had a maid
00:06:42Bondi!
00:06:46Bondi!
00:06:48I can only do one thing at a time
00:06:57Well?
00:07:03Well Dagwood
00:07:04What do you want?
00:07:07You'll get nowhere by being stubborn Dagwood
00:07:10He might have hurt himself mommy
00:07:12Baby Dumplin
00:07:13Don't be ridiculous
00:07:14If he'd hurt himself
00:07:15He'd holler
00:07:16Holler if you hurt daddy
00:07:20Bondi, do you realize I was calling you?
00:07:23I answered
00:07:23I called you because I fell all the way down the stairs from on top of that ladder
00:07:28I wish I'd seen it
00:07:30That's impudent
00:07:31Say you're sorry darling
00:07:32I'm sorry daddy
00:07:33And I'm sorry I missed it
00:07:37Never would have happened if people watched what they're doing
00:07:40Walking underneath the ladders
00:07:42And paying no attention to superstitions
00:07:44Dagwood
00:07:44If you fell down those stairs just to prove a silly superstition
00:07:48I never fell down on purpose
00:07:49I fell down because
00:07:50Because
00:07:51Because the ladder slipped
00:07:56Where's the paper?
00:07:57Daisy didn't bring it in
00:07:58She's tired of doing the same thing over and over again
00:08:02She needs a maid
00:08:04A maid?
00:08:07He got that maid talk from you
00:08:09Baby Dumpling
00:08:10Was mommy talking about wanting a maid, huh?
00:08:14I'm surprised at you trying to make a tattletale out of your own child
00:08:17Well what am I supposed to do?
00:08:19Drink your coffee
00:08:21Now you're trying to change the subject
00:08:23Listen Dagwood, we've gone over all this before
00:08:26Yes and we settled it too
00:08:27That's right
00:08:28There wasn't supposed to be any talk about a maid until you got a raise
00:08:31Now wait a minute Bonnie
00:08:32There wasn't supposed to be any talk about a raise either
00:08:35Exactly
00:08:35And until you get a raise
00:08:38Well, until things are different
00:08:40We're never going to mention the word raise or the word maid in this house
00:08:44Okay
00:08:45Okay
00:08:48All right
00:08:49Morning
00:08:50Morning
00:08:51Good morning, Alvin
00:08:54Needles
00:08:56Pins
00:08:56What goes up the chimney?
00:08:58Smoke
00:08:58Well, the Williams finally got the maid
00:09:04Well, that's nice
00:09:06I'm awfully happy for Mrs. Williams
00:09:08They can't afford a maid any more than we can
00:09:11Mr. Williams got his raise
00:09:15Alvin
00:09:16There's a pact in this house
00:09:18Not to mention the word maid or raise
00:09:20Mr. Bumstead just made it
00:09:23Now listen
00:09:24We're going to settle this matter once and for all
00:09:27The time has come when I've got to put my foot down
00:09:33She does it every time you put your foot down
00:09:46If you'll take my advice, Mr. Bumstead
00:09:48I don't need any advice
00:09:50You kids go on out and play
00:09:52I know how to handle this matter
00:09:59Come on, Alvin
00:10:00No use listening
00:10:01It always ends up the same way
00:10:05When I get married, I'm going to be a bachelor
00:10:39Blondie
00:10:40Oh, I thought you'd gone
00:10:42You're not leaving me again, are you?
00:10:44Well, no, not exactly
00:10:46You mean you're only going to your mother's?
00:10:48Well, no, not exactly
00:10:50You've got your hat on
00:10:51I have nothing more to say
00:10:54Oh, now you're giving me the silent treatment again
00:10:56Well, if you don't want to talk, we won't talk
00:10:58And I have nothing more to say either
00:11:01And another thing
00:11:02If you're thinking of taking Baby Dumpling
00:11:04Where is Baby Dumpling?
00:11:06He's out playing with Alvin
00:11:07Would you mind finding him for me?
00:11:10And tell him to stay over at Alvin's house
00:11:11Until I get back from the dentist
00:11:13Dennis?
00:11:14Gee, is that where you were going?
00:11:16Okay
00:11:29Daddy, Alvin broke his kite
00:11:34He did?
00:11:34Well, you're supposed to stay here with Alvin
00:11:36Until Mommy gets back
00:11:38Let me see it
00:11:59Good morning, Mrs. Fuddle
00:12:00Good morning
00:12:01Thank you
00:12:02Oh, be careful, Mr. Crump
00:12:04Mr. Bumstead hasn't left the house yet
00:12:07Oh
00:12:08Well, if you don't mind
00:12:09I'll stay right here until he's gone
00:12:11I don't want to get knocked down on my last day
00:12:13Your last day?
00:12:15Why?
00:12:16Are you quitting?
00:12:17Oh, no, ma'am
00:12:18I'm being transferred to Forest Hills
00:12:20Starting bright and early tomorrow morning
00:12:22Oh, we'll miss you, Mr. Crump
00:12:23Well, I'll miss you, too
00:12:25But it'll be a kind of a relief
00:12:27Not to have to dodge Mr. Bumstead every day
00:12:31He'll be coming out in a minute
00:12:33Just watch him, like a bullet
00:12:38Why, that's Mrs. Bumstead
00:12:40Hello
00:12:41Oh, Blondie
00:12:42I'm in a hurry
00:12:43I'm on my way to the dentist
00:12:44Where's Dagwood?
00:12:46He went out the back way
00:12:51There
00:12:53Oh, I've waited
00:12:56If that's a trick, I'm not going to fall for it
00:13:19This is the first time I lost my hat
00:13:41Not bad, not bad
00:13:42What do you think of that?
00:13:43Say, that's the beauty
00:13:44Oh, hello, Dagwood
00:13:45Hi, Dag
00:13:46Well, what's the matter, old fella?
00:13:49Gentlemen, we have here the only man who can walk with his chin on his knees
00:13:56Mary, when Mr. Dithers comes in, tell him I'd like to see him, will you?
00:13:59Yes, sir
00:14:02How'd you know he wasn't in?
00:14:03You fellas wouldn't be standing around that water cooler if he was
00:14:22Good morning, Mr. Dithers
00:14:23Mr. Dithers, certain financial conditions have arisen in my home which make it necessary
00:14:33Don't you get tired sticking your nose in other people's business?
00:14:36No offense, Dagwood
00:14:37I was just trying to get a few pointers
00:14:39Well, stay away from here
00:14:41What's it all about, Ollie?
00:14:43Well, you see
00:14:45Good morning, Mr. Dithers
00:14:46Good morning, Mr. Dithers
00:14:47Good morning, Mr. Dithers
00:14:48Good morning, Mr. Dithers
00:14:53Mr. Dithers, I simply have to have a raise
00:14:57You see, baby dumpling is growing up
00:15:00Hey
00:15:10Oh, Dithers
00:15:12Oh, Dithers
00:15:13Oh, Dithers
00:15:14That's only a sample
00:15:16The next time I'm gonna
00:15:17Oh, my ears
00:15:26Come back here
00:15:28Come in my office
00:15:33Mr. Dithers
00:15:34I was in my office rehearsing a speech
00:15:37I heard you
00:15:37You want a raise
00:15:39I don't want it myself particularly
00:15:41But the woman who's going to work for us wants it
00:15:43But she can't work for us until I get it
00:15:46Woman who's going to work for you?
00:15:47What woman?
00:15:48Well, you see
00:15:48Blondie has her heart set on having a servant
00:15:50With you around the house
00:15:52It's a wonder she doesn't want a bodyguard
00:15:53What's the matter with you?
00:15:55Have you gone crazy?
00:15:56Servant?
00:15:57Why, you can't afford a servant
00:15:58Well, that's why I...
00:15:59Well, you don't get the raise
00:16:00Furthermore
00:16:02Mr. Dithers
00:16:03Mr. Dithers
00:16:04I'm busy now, Morgan
00:16:05But this is very important
00:16:06So is this important
00:16:08No, it isn't either
00:16:09You wait in your office, Bumpster
00:16:11I'll see you later
00:16:12Yes, sir
00:16:15All right, what is it?
00:16:18Go ahead, I'm listening
00:16:19It's about the Batterson house
00:16:21What about it?
00:16:22All these complaints coming in
00:16:24From the Forest Hills Women's Club
00:16:25What complaints?
00:16:26They claim that the house is a menace
00:16:28They see lights in it
00:16:29At night
00:16:30And there's a lot of talk
00:16:31About us being haunted
00:16:31Haunted
00:16:32I told you not to pay any attention
00:16:34To those silly women
00:16:35But we have several important clients
00:16:37In Forest Hills, Mr. Dithers
00:16:38And there's quite a stir
00:16:40In the community about it
00:16:41Well, I don't know what I can do about it
00:16:42I'm only the executive
00:16:43Of the Batterson estate
00:16:44Now, if people want to be silly
00:16:45Let them be silly
00:16:45Nevertheless, I think it'd be
00:16:47A good idea to have somebody
00:16:48Live in it
00:16:49Till the estate's settled
00:16:50It's only a matter of a few weeks
00:16:52Well, all right
00:16:53Put a couple of servants in
00:16:54Couldn't we put someone
00:16:55In with the servants
00:16:56To make it look a little more
00:16:57Like people are living there
00:16:58Now, who in the world would
00:17:12Bumpstead, come in here
00:17:20Mr. Dithers
00:17:21If you could find it in your heart
00:17:22Nothing the matter with my heart
00:17:25Sit down
00:17:29I've been thinking over this matter
00:17:30Of Blondie wanting a servant
00:17:32Well, I sort of changed my mind
00:17:34About that, Mr. Dithers
00:17:35Don't change your mind
00:17:37Change Blondie's
00:17:38Every woman thinks she wants a servant
00:17:39This is until she gets
00:17:40A little taste of it
00:17:41But how?
00:17:42I don't want to ask for another raise
00:17:44Well, this time
00:17:45You don't have to ask for it
00:17:47Gee, you mean that
00:17:48You don't need a raise
00:17:49To accomplish it
00:17:51Oh, but how?
00:17:53Did you ever hear of the Batterson place?
00:17:55It's a beautiful estate
00:17:56Out in Forest Hills
00:17:57Completely furnished
00:17:58Spacious, quiet
00:17:59And, well, it has a personality
00:18:01All its own
00:18:03Now, it so happens
00:18:04I'm the executor
00:18:06Mr. Batterson dead?
00:18:08Oh, yes, yes
00:18:09He died a nice, easy, normal death
00:18:11He went to bed one night
00:18:12And passed away in his sleep
00:18:15That sounds like
00:18:16No, no, no
00:18:17Nothing of the sort
00:18:17Now, here's the proposition
00:18:20I want you and Blondie
00:18:22Call up Blondie
00:18:23Get her down here
00:18:23I want her to hear this, too
00:18:25Yes, sir
00:18:26But I don't think Blondie's home
00:18:27She had a 10 o'clock appointment
00:18:29At the dentist
00:18:29Well, it's a quarter of 11
00:18:30Go ahead
00:18:31It won't hurt to try
00:18:31Yes, Mr. Dithers
00:18:33Mary, see if you can get
00:18:34Mrs. Bumstead on the telephone
00:18:35Yes, sir
00:18:38Hello
00:18:38Good morning, Mrs. Bumstead
00:18:40Oh, Mrs. Bumstead
00:18:41Mr. Dithers
00:18:42Was just trying to get you
00:18:42On the telephone
00:18:43Here, take it on this one
00:18:44Oh, here you are
00:18:47Hello
00:18:48Hello, Blondie
00:18:49Will you come down
00:18:50To Mr. Dithers' office
00:18:51Right away
00:18:51He wants to have
00:18:52A little talk with us
00:18:54All right
00:18:55Thank you
00:18:57Tell her to hurry
00:18:57Oh, Mr. Dithers
00:18:59Says to hurry
00:19:01Blondie
00:19:01Don't shout, Dagwood
00:19:03I'm here
00:19:03Oh
00:19:04And never mind
00:19:05You're here
00:19:13Dagwood
00:19:15Dagwood
00:19:18What'd you punch me for?
00:19:19Oh
00:19:20What is it, dear?
00:19:22What is what?
00:19:23What is it you want to say?
00:19:25Oh, I was going to say
00:19:27Oh
00:19:27It's not important
00:19:29Oh
00:19:30I shouldn't have punched you
00:19:32Oh, yes
00:19:33It's important
00:19:34What did the man
00:19:35Who owned the house
00:19:36Uh, Mr.
00:19:37Uh, Batterson
00:19:38Yes
00:19:39What did he do?
00:19:40He died
00:19:41Oh, silly
00:19:42I mean before he died
00:19:44Uh, he was a manufacturer
00:19:46Of magic tricks
00:19:47Or something like that
00:19:48Mr. Dithers
00:19:49Was a little vague about it
00:19:51Come to think of
00:19:52Mr. Dithers
00:19:53Was a little vague
00:19:54About lots of things
00:19:55Yes, but I don't think
00:19:56It was intentional
00:19:57It was all so exciting
00:19:59We forgot to ask
00:19:59A lot of questions
00:20:02Isn't it wonderful?
00:20:04Yeah, sure
00:20:05Just like a vacation
00:20:07We'll probably have to
00:20:08Work our heads off
00:20:09Getting the place in shape
00:20:11Don't be a killjoy, Dagwood
00:20:14It's thrilling
00:20:15I love our home
00:20:16But it'll be awfully nice
00:20:17To get away for a while
00:20:18And be a lady
00:20:20Mommy
00:20:21This is the first time
00:20:22We've gone away
00:20:23And taken Daddy
00:20:24With us, isn't it?
00:20:26Baby Dumplin'
00:20:26This is different
00:20:27This is adventure
00:20:30And romance
00:20:32Besides, Mr. Dithers
00:20:34Is sending servants
00:20:34Out in the morning
00:20:35And they'll attend
00:20:36To all the work
00:20:39Servants
00:20:40Daddy
00:20:41Are we still
00:20:42In the United States?
00:20:45Of course, dear
00:20:46It does seem
00:20:48An awfully long way
00:20:49Doesn't it?
00:21:15Isn't it big?
00:21:16And dark, too
00:21:17There was a light
00:21:18In the upper window
00:21:19When we came in the driveway
00:21:20I wonder if it has any ghosts
00:21:22I was only fooling, Daisy
00:21:34That'll be 265, sir
00:21:36Oh, yeah
00:21:40Keep the change
00:21:41Thank you, ma'am
00:21:46Say, uh, mister
00:21:47Is there anything wrong
00:21:48With this house?
00:21:49I don't know, sir
00:21:50I haven't been out here
00:21:51Since the date of funeral
00:21:58Good luck
00:22:03I wonder what made him say that
00:22:05Why, they always have a funeral
00:22:07When anybody dies
00:22:08I don't mean that
00:22:09He said good luck
00:22:10Dear, why do you stand here
00:22:12Trying to make something
00:22:13Out of nothing?
00:22:13Let's go in
00:22:14Sure
00:22:15Sure, let's go in
00:22:16Yeah, let's go in
00:22:33Don't seem to be able
00:22:34To get it open
00:22:35Here's my flashlight, mommy
00:22:37Here's my flashlight, honey
00:22:37I see your flashlight
00:22:40Go behind me
00:22:41Go away
00:22:41Go away
00:22:50Go away
00:22:51Go away
00:22:52Go away
00:22:52Go away
00:22:53Go away
00:23:10Oh, what is it?
00:23:12Well, I thought, I thought, oh, nothing.
00:23:18Oh, there are some candles, Dad, would light them.
00:23:26Oh, oh.
00:23:28It was just the door.
00:23:31I wonder if the electric light company has turned on the lights.
00:23:36Oh, there's the switch.
00:23:43Gee, Blondie, I forgot to phone them.
00:23:45This is a mess. How are we going to eat?
00:23:48We have plenty of candles, dear.
00:23:50Only Eskimos eat candles.
00:23:53Baby Dumplin', if you don't stop showing off,
00:23:55I'm going to have Daddy take you upstairs and lock you in one of the closets.
00:23:58Oh, no, no, Blondie. He didn't mean anything by that.
00:24:03Keep quiet, baby Dumplin'.
00:24:06I'll get the candles.
00:24:15Well, of all things, I could have sworn there was a cover on that chair.
00:24:21There was.
00:24:22But there couldn't have been. It's been there all the time.
00:24:26Isn't that strange?
00:24:27Oh, you must be nervous, Blondie.
00:24:31Oh, perhaps I saw that cover.
00:24:47Who are you?
00:24:49What are you?
00:24:52Let's get out of here.
00:24:53There's a fat...
00:25:05I was...
00:25:09Excuse me, please.
00:25:10Oh.
00:25:12How did you get into this house?
00:25:14Mr. David Schoffel let me in.
00:25:16Are you one of the servants?
00:25:17No, ma'am.
00:25:18My name is Horatio Jones.
00:25:19I'm being initiated into a lodge.
00:25:21Initiated?
00:25:22Yes, ma'am. Before I can get him to the lodge, I've got to stay all night in a Horat
00:25:26house.
00:25:26But what has Mr. Dither Schoffel got to do with it?
00:25:29Oh, he's the president of the lodge.
00:25:30Oh, I get it. His Lodge brothers are making him stay in this...
00:25:35Horat?
00:25:36Horat him.
00:25:37Horat.
00:25:42Frady Cat.
00:25:44Who's a Frady Cat?
00:25:46Daisy.
00:25:46Oh, I was just going to say, why should anybody be afraid?
00:25:51I ain't afraid, but I'm scared to death I'm going to be.
00:25:57Baby Dumpling, if you don't stop showing off, I'm going to take you right up.
00:26:01Well, stop it anyway.
00:26:03Oh, this is ridiculous.
00:26:11Here.
00:26:12Here.
00:26:13No, sir, thank you. I guess I'll be running along.
00:26:16I'll have just explained to him down to the lodge that some folks live in here.
00:26:19No, no, you stay here. We'd be tickled to death to have somebody around.
00:26:23I mean, we're glad to have you. It's so... so...
00:26:26Dagwood, where are the groceries? Where's the kitchen? Have you had supper?
00:26:30Yes, ma'am. But if I can help...
00:26:32Come on, everybody.
00:26:35Come on, everybody.
00:26:36Come on.
00:26:37Come on, everybody.
00:26:42Come on, everybody.
00:26:42Do you know anything about this neighborhood?
00:26:44No, sir. Except what I seen a little before it got dark.
00:26:47Who's living in the house next door?
00:26:49It's empty.
00:26:51Empty.
00:26:53Are there any more houses around here?
00:26:55Yes, sir. Down the hill, about a half a mile, there's a house.
00:26:59Oh, about half a mile.
00:27:00That's not very far.
00:27:02It's empty, too.
00:27:03Yes, sir.
00:27:05I guess we're pretty much alone then, aren't we?
00:27:08I sure hope we is.
00:27:12Look, man to man, you don't think this place is haunted, do you?
00:27:16No, sir.
00:27:17No.
00:27:18I knows it is.
00:27:36Isn't this a lovely big kitchen?
00:27:38Uh, Dagwood, you light the stove.
00:27:41Uh, baby dumpling, you and Daisy stand back.
00:27:44Is there anything I can do to help, ma'am?
00:27:46Yes, see if you can find the dishes.
00:27:48Yes, ma'am.
00:27:52Ah, that's more like it.
00:27:54There's nothing in the world that will make a place brighter than a little bit of the...
00:27:58Blondie.
00:27:59Blondie?
00:28:00Blondie!
00:28:00Well, what is it?
00:28:01Look!
00:28:03That's fine, dear.
00:28:04I forgot to order the gas turned on, too.
00:28:14Look.
00:28:15What?
00:28:16These things are all clean.
00:28:18Not a speck of dust on them, see?
00:28:22Somebody's been using them.
00:28:24And the table, it's spotless.
00:28:29Look at the floor.
00:28:32Well, it's more like it.
00:28:33Now we can see...
00:28:35Are you sure you didn't phone the light company or the gas company?
00:28:41Well, perhaps Mr. Dithers might.
00:28:44Then somebody's been living here.
00:28:47Everything's as clean as a pin.
00:28:50To ghost wash.
00:28:53Of course not.
00:28:54There's no such a thing as a ghost, is there?
00:28:57No, sir.
00:28:58There sure ain't.
00:29:00Blondie.
00:29:03Where's...
00:29:05Where'd mommy go, baby Dumpling?
00:29:18What's the matter?
00:29:20The candles.
00:29:20Somebody move them.
00:29:27I heard something.
00:29:33I guess I imagined it.
00:29:35What do you suppose it is?
00:29:37It sounds like chimes.
00:29:39Yes, sir.
00:29:39And this ain't Sunday.
00:29:46I know.
00:29:47It's an hour bell.
00:29:48Baby Dumpling, no.
00:29:49Wait a minute, baby Dumpling.
00:29:52Let daddy do it.
00:29:53You stand back.
00:29:54And you stand back too, Blondie.
00:29:57Don't worry, boss.
00:29:58I ain't gonna crouch you.
00:30:11Good evening.
00:30:13Yeah, how are you?
00:30:15Move your light, Dagwood.
00:30:16Oh.
00:30:17How do you do?
00:30:18Is there anything we can do for you?
00:30:20This is the Batterson house, is it not?
00:30:22Uh-huh.
00:30:23My name is Eric Vaughn.
00:30:25This is my wife, Anna.
00:30:26Oh.
00:30:27You're the new servants.
00:30:31Yes.
00:30:32Who sent you?
00:30:33Why, Mr. Dithers, of course, Dagwood.
00:30:35Wasn't it, Mr. Dithers?
00:30:39Well, come right in.
00:30:41We just arrived ourselves.
00:30:43Haven't had time to look around yet.
00:30:45Um, oh, perhaps you'd better go on back to the kitchen.
00:30:48There are lights on in there, but nowhere else.
00:30:50There must be a fuse out or something.
00:30:52Very good, sir.
00:30:53You go ahead with your plans.
00:30:54I am sure we can find everything.
00:30:56I don't know where your quarters are.
00:30:58The servants' room is upstairs in the rear.
00:31:01How do you know that?
00:31:03Mr. Dithers told us.
00:31:05Yes, of course.
00:31:06Well, come on, Dagwood.
00:31:08Come on, baby Dumplin'.
00:31:13Horatio, you make yourself at home.
00:31:15We're going to look at the rest of the house.
00:31:17I think I'll look too, ma'am, but I ain't curious.
00:31:56Eric, please don't.
00:32:00This is my house.
00:32:01It always has been my house.
00:32:02But those young people are harmless.
00:32:04Harmless?
00:32:05No one is harmless.
00:32:07Sometimes I think your mind is...
00:32:11You'll never say that again.
00:32:14Eric!
00:32:31Which room will we take first?
00:32:33That one, Mommy.
00:32:35Oh, no.
00:32:37Let's take that one.
00:32:40I'll bet that's the master bedroom.
00:32:53Oh, isn't it, Rich?
00:32:56Isn't this a lovely, old-fashioned room?
00:33:00Come on, Daisy.
00:33:27Blondie, look.
00:33:28The bed's made up.
00:33:30The sheets are just like new.
00:33:31Well, that's fine.
00:33:32Run down and get the bags.
00:33:33Okay.
00:33:34But how do you suppose that bed happens?
00:33:36Dagwood, stop acting silly.
00:33:38You know Mr. Dithers arranged all this.
00:33:41I never was so surprised in all my life.
00:33:43Sarah sure isn't like Mr. Dithers.
00:33:50I'll go along, too, please, sir.
00:34:17Mr. Dithers, Mr. Dithers, what happened?
00:34:34Oh.
00:34:42Servants.
00:35:04Uh, bring the things over here, dear.
00:35:08Where's Baby?
00:35:09Oh, he's probably out in the hall playing with Baby.
00:35:11Well, you go ahead and unpack, and I'll find it.
00:35:18Baby Dumpling!
00:35:20Baby Dumpling!
00:35:22Horatio!
00:35:22Yes, sir.
00:35:23Is Baby Dumpling down there?
00:35:25No, sir. Ain't nobody around down here.
00:35:30I hope.
00:35:41Baby Dumpling, where have you been?
00:35:44In there.
00:35:45In the dark?
00:35:47No.
00:35:48The lights went on as soon as I went in.
00:35:50Down?
00:35:52Baby Dumpling.
00:35:53You know what happens to people when they don't tell the truth?
00:35:57Yes, Daddy, but I won't tell on you.
00:36:03Well, I thought, where did you get that hat?
00:36:10In there.
00:36:14Put it back. It's all dirty.
00:36:16Baby Dumpling.
00:36:19Okay.
00:36:19Ah-choo!
00:36:21My aunt?
00:36:24Baby Dumpling?
00:36:27Baby Dumpling?
00:36:29Baby Dumpling?
00:36:43Baby Dumpling?
00:36:47Bondi!
00:36:50Bondi.
00:36:51What is it?
00:36:52The other room. He came out.
00:36:54Silk hat. I told him to put it back.
00:36:58He's gone.
00:36:59What on earth are you talking about?
00:37:01Baby Duplet.
00:37:02Couldn't you find him?
00:37:02Sure I found him.
00:37:04Well, then.
00:37:04But he disappeared and Daisy.
00:37:06No, he came out of a room.
00:37:09He had a silk hat.
00:37:10Dagwood, let me smell your breath.
00:37:15Now, what are you trying to say?
00:37:18I found Baby Dumpling, but he's gone again now.
00:37:21Well, he's probably around somewhere.
00:37:24Bondi, you don't understand.
00:37:25He disappeared right in front of my eyes.
00:37:27Oh, nonsense.
00:37:29You come out and have a look.
00:37:31Dagwood, get me my blue dinner gown.
00:37:32It's over there in the closet.
00:37:34Well, he came out of a bedroom
00:37:37and I was talking to him out in the hall.
00:37:40Hey, there's no dinner gown in here.
00:37:43Don't be silly, Dagwood.
00:37:44I just hung it in there.
00:37:47You just hung it in there?
00:37:49I did.
00:37:50Well, it isn't in there now.
00:38:11Hurry up and put on your dinner clothes.
00:38:12Dinner clothes?
00:38:14Where are we going?
00:38:15We're going to dinner.
00:38:16We have servants.
00:38:17But, Blondie...
00:38:18They're in the clothes closet.
00:38:19Oh, I don't see any reason for putting on dinner clothes.
00:38:23Blondie!
00:38:26Blondie, would you mind coming here just a second?
00:38:32Look in the clothes closet now.
00:38:36Blondie, would you mind coming here just a second?
00:38:37Huh?
00:38:38Oh, you know, I don't feel at all well.
00:38:41Why, dear, what's the matter?
00:38:43I don't...
00:38:44I don't know.
00:38:45Oh, you're probably hungry.
00:38:47Hmm?
00:38:49Here, get dressed and we'll have dinner.
00:38:51I'll go find baby Dumplin'.
00:39:16I don't know.
00:39:26Daddy!
00:39:27What?
00:39:29How could...
00:39:30When you...
00:39:31Are you still running around with that hat?
00:39:34I told you to put that back where you found it.
00:39:37Now, you do as you're told.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:44Shall I put this rabbit back, too?
00:39:57Dagwood, I don't seem to be able to...
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:01Dagwood, get up off the floor.
00:40:03You're lying in a draft.
00:40:05Where am I?
00:40:06Now, don't try to be funny, Dagwood.
00:40:07You're not that sick.
00:40:09Where's Baby Dumplin'?
00:40:10That's what I'd like to know.
00:40:11He was right here a minute ago.
00:40:13Here?
00:40:14Here with a hair.
00:40:16Where?
00:40:16There.
00:40:20Dagwood, you don't make sense.
00:40:22He went right in that closet.
00:40:25Baby Dumplin', Baby Dumplin'.
00:40:27Yes, Mommy?
00:40:29Huh?
00:40:29Where are you?
00:40:31In here.
00:40:32How did you get in there?
00:40:33Push on the wall.
00:40:35Huh?
00:40:38Look, the whole wall turns.
00:40:42Baby Dumplin'.
00:40:43Huh?
00:40:44I'm in here.
00:40:46Oh.
00:40:47Oh, baby.
00:40:49Mommy!
00:40:50Oh, dear.
00:40:55Dadwood!
00:40:55Huh?
00:40:57Oh.
00:40:58Oh.
00:40:59Oh.
00:41:00Oh.
00:41:01Oh.
00:41:01Now, see what you've done?
00:41:03So you're the one that was turning the wall?
00:41:06Yes.
00:41:06Watch, Daddy.
00:41:08Huh?
00:41:11Now, watch it.
00:41:25Oh, I get it.
00:41:26Mr. Batterson was a magician.
00:41:28Oh.
00:41:32Look, there's a name on this trunk.
00:41:34Huh?
00:41:35It's all covered with dust.
00:41:39Oh.
00:41:39Oh.
00:41:40Oh.
00:41:40All right.
00:41:45Put your light back down on it, Dagwood.
00:41:47Oh.
00:41:48What's the matter?
00:41:49Oh.
00:41:50What's the matter?
00:41:51Dagwood!
00:41:52Dagwood!
00:41:53Oh, Dagwood, stand still.
00:41:54How can I help you when you're jumping all around?
00:41:56Oh.
00:41:57Turn the light off, Daddy.
00:41:59You're wasting the battery.
00:42:01Oh, Dagwood.
00:42:02Oh.
00:42:03Oh.
00:42:04Oh.
00:42:05Oh, dear.
00:42:05Oh, dear.
00:42:06Oh, dear.
00:42:07If you'll only stand still, Dagwood.
00:42:10Dagwood.

00:42:34Oh.
00:42:40Ah!
00:42:47Horatio, is anything wrong?
00:42:49No, ma'am.
00:42:49I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see a thing.
00:42:52Daddy got the flashlight stuck in his mouth.
00:42:56Oh.
00:42:57Are you all right now, dear?
00:42:59That's a funny place for a phone.
00:43:02Yes, it goes into the wall.
00:43:08See?
00:43:09All we need now is to have it ring.
00:43:11Oh.
00:43:16Hello.
00:43:17Which Mr. Bumstead?
00:43:20Oh.
00:43:22Dagwood.
00:43:23It's for you.
00:43:26Hello?
00:43:28Oh, thank you.
00:43:30Yeah, much obliged.
00:43:34It was the maid downstairs.
00:43:36Dinner's served.
00:43:37Hurry up and get dressed.
00:43:40I don't see how he got that thing in his mouth.
00:43:43Huh?
00:43:44Showing, Daddy.
00:43:45Well, I couldn't see a name on a trunk, so I wanted to dust it off.
00:43:49And I needed both hands, so I put my flashlight in my mouth like this.
00:43:52Hmm?
00:44:16Here, Mommy.
00:44:17He's done it again!
00:44:18Oh
00:45:01No, thank you
00:45:24Oh
00:45:25Daisy
00:45:29Oh
00:45:43Uh
00:45:45I
00:45:46Huh
00:46:08Shhh
00:46:10Mommy
00:46:12I've been thinking about something
00:46:15Yes dear, what is it?
00:46:17It's raining
00:46:17We know that darling, go ahead and eat
00:46:20It was raining when they came too
00:46:22And they weren't wet
00:46:26Eat your dinner dear
00:46:28Yeah, yeah
00:46:39So this is the way rich people eat
00:46:43Shhh
00:46:43Can't we talk?
00:46:45Of course dear, but we mustn't say the wrong thing
00:46:48How do I know it's wrong unless I say it
00:46:58Yes madam
00:47:04Oh
00:47:05Oh, I'm sorry
00:47:07Nobody's ever watched us eat before
00:47:09That is, we've never had a servant
00:47:11You understand?
00:47:13Mm-hmm
00:47:15Well
00:47:15We're a little nervous
00:47:17And uncomfortable
00:47:18But
00:47:19But
00:47:20It'll wear off
00:47:20Won't it?
00:47:22Mm-hmm
00:47:23Does anyone wish anything?
00:47:26I wish this thing would stop slipping
00:47:29Shhh
00:47:30Shhh
00:47:31Hmm
00:47:45Shhh
00:47:46Shhh
00:47:53Shhh
00:48:08I don't like the way that butler keeps popping in and out of here.
00:48:12What's he sore about?
00:48:13I'd always imagine that when you had servants, they were kind of friendly and not so cold.
00:48:18Well, if he pops in again, I'll fire him.
00:48:21Yes, sir?
00:48:22You wish to tell me something, sir?
00:48:24Oh, no, no. Everything's just, just dandy.
00:48:28I'm sorry. Madam rang the buzzer.
00:48:30Buzzer?
00:48:31It's beneath the table.
00:48:32Oh.
00:48:41I don't see anything, do you?
00:48:44No.
00:48:49Eric!
00:48:51Please.
00:48:57I'll answer it.
00:49:04Is anything wrong?
00:49:05Oh, no, no, nothing at all.
00:49:08Just the same, Anna.
00:49:12The dog is sitting on the buzzer.
00:49:26Anna!
00:49:28Excuse me.
00:49:34What was that laughter about? Some joke on me, wasn't it?
00:49:37No, Eric. The dog was sitting on the buzzer.
00:49:42Eric, let's get out of this house.
00:49:44This is my house.
00:49:46Oh, you keep saying that and it doesn't make sense.
00:49:48It sounds like...
00:49:50Like a crazy man.
00:49:51I didn't say that. I didn't mean it.
00:49:53I didn't mean it at all.
00:50:06I didn't mean it at all.
00:50:06I'll attend to it.
00:50:23Madam, my husband.
00:50:24I haven't time to explain everything, but please get out of here, all of you.
00:50:28Get out before something horrible happens.

01:00:42Good evening. I'm from a dither's office.
01:00:45Oh, come in.
01:00:49I was out here to see a client who saw the lights on the house
01:00:52and dropped in to see how the Bumsteads are getting along.
01:00:54Oh, they're doing splendidly, sir. May I take your coat?
01:01:01What about the door in the closet, Daddy?
01:01:03Huh? Oh, yes.
01:01:08Now, do you feel safe, dear?
01:01:11I don't feel safe, but I feel better.
01:01:19What is it, Daisy?
01:01:24Dagwood!
01:01:26Look at this!
01:01:28Crazed magician escapes after attacking defense counsel.
01:01:32What is it, Mommy?
01:01:33Oh, it's a picture of the butler, dear.
01:01:38Man who claimed right to Batterson estate eludes police after knifing attorney.
01:01:43With a knife?
01:01:45Eric Vaughn, eccentric magician, whose claim to the estate of the late Walter Batterson
01:01:51was being heard in Superior Court, escaped police yesterday after attacking Ross A. Hastings,
01:01:57defense attorney, in court.
01:01:59Go ahead, go ahead, read the rest of it.
01:02:02Vaughn's claim was based on the allegation that the Batterson fortune was made by the manufacture and sale of illusions
01:02:10and magic equipment invented by Vaughn and stolen from him by Batterson.
01:02:17Here, dear, let me read it.
01:02:19The attack occurred during court proceedings when Vaughn became infuriated at Hastings questioning and drew a knife.
01:02:27In the ensuing struggle, Vaughn made his escape.
01:02:30Hastings, who was seriously injured in the Malay, is at the Davis Hospital.
01:02:34In their search, the police have been unable to find any trace of him.
01:02:44Oh, don't be scared, Mommy.
01:02:57I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's so horrible cooped up in an old house like this with a...
01:03:03And it's all my fault, too.
01:03:05No, it isn't, dear.
01:03:06Yes, it is.
01:03:08If I hadn't wanted a maid, we'd never have gotten into this mess.
01:03:12Believe me, if we ever get out of this alive and get back to our own house, I'll wash all
01:03:17the dishes twice.
01:03:19And I'll never complain again as long as I live.
01:03:24There's only one thing to do.
01:03:26What?
01:03:28You keep yourselves locked in, and I'll try and catch him.
01:03:32No, no, Dad, but you'll be killed.
01:03:34Stay here, Daddy, stay here.
01:03:36I can't.
01:03:37I have to do something.
01:03:38Wait a minute.
01:03:40I gotta find myself some sort of a weapon.
01:03:48Daddy!
01:03:58Stand back, everybody.
01:04:00Stand back, everybody.
01:04:05Horatio!
01:04:06Is he alive?
01:04:07Oh, I'm so glad.
01:04:09So am I glad.
01:04:11I've never been so glad to see anybody in all my life, Horatio.
01:04:15Me, too.
01:04:16Why aren't you on time, Daddy?
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:19Oh, yeah.
01:04:19Let me help, Dagwood.
01:04:22Here.
01:04:39What happened, Horatio?
01:04:41We heard you calling, but we couldn't find you.
01:04:42I found a newspaper clipping.
01:04:45I was standing right there by the bookcase hollering.
01:04:47Two hands got a hold of me, dragged me right into the wall.
01:04:51Uh-huh.
01:04:52I looked up, and there was that butler.
01:04:55He looked down at me.
01:04:56And then what happened?
01:04:58That's as far as I can remember.
01:05:00Oh.
01:05:01Come on.
01:05:05Bookcase.
01:05:06It's a secret panda.
01:05:08Look, Horatio, you stay here with Mrs. Bumstead and the baby.
01:05:13Baby Dumpling!
01:05:14Baby Dumpling!
01:05:15What was it?
01:05:16Baby Dumpling!
01:05:17Baby!
01:05:18Baby Dumpling!
01:05:20Baby Dumpling, how dare you frighten me like this when I get you home?
01:05:24Oh, baby, don't ever do this to Mommy again.
01:05:29Here, Daddy.
01:05:31That's fine.
01:05:33Blondie, you lock the closet door.
01:05:35Dagwood, please don't.
01:05:37Oh, let's go.
01:05:39Huh?
01:05:40Oh.
01:05:44Here.
01:05:46Oh.
01:05:52Dagwood, haven't you any fear?
01:05:54I'm scared to death.
01:05:56Oh.
01:06:00Mommy, you know the club Daddy has.
01:06:04Yes, dear.
01:06:05When you hit anything with it, it turns into a bouquet of flowers.
01:06:11Oh.
01:06:12Oh, God.
01:06:14No.
01:06:39Oh.
01:06:40Oh.
01:06:41Oh.
01:06:41Yes.
01:06:51Come on.
01:07:15Come on.
01:07:45Come on.
01:07:46Come on.
01:07:46I'm shot.
01:07:46Come on.
01:08:33Do you hear anything, ma'am?
01:08:35No.
01:08:37Well, ma'am, no news is good news.
01:08:40Honest to goodness, I bet I've aged 10 years.
01:08:45I don't even look like myself.
01:08:51If that's me, what am I doing with a knife in my hand?
01:09:06I don't know.
01:09:08I don't know.
01:09:11I don't know.
01:09:22Deadwood!
01:09:37Here, Dabby.
01:09:39Oh, yeah.
01:09:43Oh, here, your mother's fainted. Throw some water on her.
01:09:52Dagwood!
01:09:57The police!
01:10:13You, huh?
01:10:18What's...
01:10:19Huh?
01:10:21Oh, Bonnie.
01:10:24Bonnie.
01:10:25This ain't...
01:10:25Oh!
01:10:34I'll get to you in a minute, Mommy.
01:10:44Now I'd like one with Mr. and Mrs. Funstead and the commissioner.
01:10:46Oh, sure.
01:10:48Oh, uh, Mr. Dithers.
01:10:50The baby.
01:11:05If you don't mind, Mrs. Funstead, on the other side of the commissioner.
01:11:08Okay.
01:11:11Now a big smile, please.
01:11:17You've rendered a great service, Mr. Funstead.
01:11:19Too bad there isn't a reward.
01:11:21I'll attend to that, commissioner.
01:11:23I'm going to give him a $10 raise.
01:11:25Gee, thanks, boss.
01:11:27Oh, Mr. Dithers.
01:11:28Now we can have a maid.
01:11:30Hmm?
01:11:31But we don't want one, do we, dear?
01:11:33Or do we?
01:11:34Well...
01:11:34Well, we'll discuss it later, anyway.
01:11:36Can we go now, commissioner?
01:11:38Yes, certainly.
01:11:39You mean we can go home now?
01:11:41Anytime you like.
01:11:42Yeah.
01:11:43Home.
01:11:45Wake up, baby Dublin.
01:11:47Pick him off, Dagwood.
01:11:48Come on.
01:11:48No, no.
01:11:49The baby.
01:11:50Where are the bags?
01:11:51Oh, the bags.
01:11:52The bags.
01:11:53Come on.
01:11:54Oh, it's nice to be out in the country where the grass is green.
01:11:59Oh, there's nothing does a man more good than a happy change of scene.
01:12:19Oh, you just can't win.
01:12:22Ah!
01:12:23No, no.
01:12:24Oh, your boy.
01:12:25Oh, my God.
01:12:25Oh, my God.
01:12:25Oh, my God.
