00:00:13¶¶
00:00:43¶¶
00:01:10¶¶
00:01:10This is the Oaks, a house in the country which I rented for the summer.
00:01:16As an author, I write tales of mystery and murder.
00:01:20But the things that happened in this house were far more fantastic than any story I've ever had published.
00:01:26I brought a staff of servants from my city apartment,
00:01:30and my maid, Lizzie Allen, who had been with me nearly 20 years.
00:01:38Lizzie?
00:01:41Yes, Miss Cornelia?
00:01:43Is the car ready?
00:01:44It's out the door.
00:01:47Look, Miss Cornelia, them servants you brought from the apartment are talking about walking out on us.
00:01:53Really?
00:01:54Well, I know they don't like it here, but I didn't think it was that bad.
00:01:59Well, they've been hearing things about the killer that the police call the Bat,
00:02:03and the murders that he committed here this past winter.
00:02:07Now people are saying that he's back again.
00:02:10Well, how can they be sure of that?
00:02:12Has he committed another crime?
00:02:13No, not yet, but that ain't saying that he won't.
00:02:17Here's something else.
00:02:19You've heard about the bats they have here.
00:02:21Animal bats, the kind that fly?
00:02:23Yes, yes.
00:02:24Look what it says in this magazine.
00:02:26This is a report from the State Health Department, and it says some of them bats is rabid.
00:02:32Well...
00:02:33And that ain't all.
00:02:35Now there's a rumor going around that it was the bat himself.
00:02:38The killer, I mean, that released the rabid bats in this neighborhood.
00:02:42Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:02:45Well, the housekeeper, the cook, the butler, and the upstairs maid don't think so.
00:02:50Well, I can't help what they think.
00:02:53If hysterical nonsense like that can scare them out of their good jobs,
00:02:57it's their loss, not mine.
00:02:59Come on, Lizzie, I've got to get to the bank.
00:03:07Drive directly to Zenith Bank, Warner.
00:03:09I'm afraid we'll have to hurry. It's near closing time.
00:03:12I'll get you there, Miss Van Gorda.
00:03:26Thanks again.
00:03:29Miss Van Gorda.
00:03:30How you do, Mr. Barry?
00:03:31How are you?
00:03:32Very well, thank you.
00:03:34You remember Lizzie Allen?
00:03:35Of course. Hello, Miss Allen.
00:03:37How do you do?
00:03:37So you're spending the summer with us again?
00:03:39Yes, yes. I've leased the Oaks.
00:03:41The home of your bank president, John Fleming.
00:03:44I heard you had. I was surprised.
00:03:46Why? Is there something the matter with the...
00:03:48No. I was surprised because Mr. Fleming said he would never rent it.
00:03:51Oh?
00:03:52Well, I rented it from his nephew, Mark Fleming,
00:03:55who has the real estate office here.
00:03:57He said his uncle would be gone the entire summer.
00:04:00Well, that's right.
00:04:01Mr. Fleming's in the Northwoods now, with his physician, Dr. Wells.
00:04:06Oh, pardon me.
00:04:07Dale, I want you to meet my wife.
00:04:09We were married at Christmas time.
00:04:11That must have been nice.
00:04:12Believe me, it was. Oh, here she is.
00:04:14My wife, Miss Van Gorda, Miss Allen.
00:04:16How do you do, Mrs. Bailey?
00:04:18How do you do? Cornelia Van Gorda.
00:04:20Yes.
00:04:21Well, I've read every murder mystery you've ever written.
00:04:25I just adored that weird one, the private morgue of Dr. X.
00:04:28Even though it gave me the shivers.
00:04:30Only the shivers?
00:04:31Scared hell out of me.
00:04:34Well, I really mean that Miss Corny killed them off in that one.
00:04:39When you refer to my books, please don't call me Miss Corny.
00:04:43Pardon me, Mr. Bailey. Mr. Hines is here to see you.
00:04:45Oh, yes.
00:04:47Excuse me, please.
00:04:48Don't be strangers now.
00:04:49No, no, we won't.
00:04:50I should say not.
00:04:51Oh, so you're a bride.
00:04:54Well, not quite.
00:04:56Not since Christmas.
00:04:57You know, I'm sure I've seen you.
00:05:00Well, I used to be my husband's secretary here in the bank.
00:05:03Of course I remember.
00:05:06May I welcome our most distinguished visitor back to Zenith?
00:05:10Oh, that's very charming, but, um...
00:05:14Lieutenant Anderson.
00:05:16Lieutenant Anderson, of course.
00:05:19Chief of Detectives of the Zenith Police Department.
00:05:22This is Miss Allen.
00:05:23Miss Allen.
00:05:23How do you do?
00:05:24Lieutenant Anderson is one of our favorite citizens.
00:05:27He's on the bank's board of directors.
00:05:29Not bad for a policeman.
00:05:31You must have made a good thing of it.
00:05:34Well, I saved my money, if that's what you mean.
00:05:37It's near closing time.
00:05:38And I've got some business in the safe deposit vault.
00:05:41Please come and see me, Mrs. Bailey.
00:05:43Oh, I'd love to.
00:05:44And you, Lieutenant.
00:05:45Goodbye.
00:05:45Goodbye.
00:05:46Nice to meet you.
00:05:49My, what a charming woman.
00:05:51She moved into the Oaks just the other day.
00:05:53That house is a proper setting for a writer of mysteries.
00:05:56Oh, it certainly is.
00:06:01Vic, what's the matter?
00:06:03Come in here, both of you.
00:06:11Andy, we're in trouble.
00:06:13Wendell Hines came in to pick up $350,000 worth of bonds
00:06:16that we were holding as collateral for a loan.
00:06:19They were kept in our special vault.
00:06:21Mr. Fleming and I are the only officers of the bank
00:06:24who have access to that vault.
00:06:25So?
00:06:27The Hines bonds are gone.
00:06:29That's not all.
00:06:31Other negotiable securities are missing.
00:06:33From what I can gather, short of a careful check,
00:06:36the bank has been looted of over a million dollars' worth of securities.
00:06:40You'll have to notify Fleming.
00:06:42I wish I could talk to him.
00:06:44Unfortunately, he and Dr. Wells are deep in the woods.
00:06:48They can't be reached by phone.
00:07:02What is it?
00:07:12I thought I heard someone on the path coming from the lake.
00:07:14I had an idea it might be that guide of ours.
00:07:17Oh, Sam won't show up until morning.
00:07:18It's a 20-mile canoe trip from here to civilization.
00:07:22Five will get you ten.
00:07:23Sam has a message for me.
00:07:25I thought you told them at the bank not to bother you.
00:07:27I did.
00:07:28But they'll bother me.
00:07:33Doctor.
00:07:34Yes, John?
00:07:36What would you do for half a million?
00:07:39Anything short of murder.
00:07:42Why not murder?
00:07:44Too messy.
00:07:46Too great a risk?
00:07:47For half a million?
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:50I pinched a million from the bank.
00:07:54I'm not kidding.
00:07:56I embezzled it.
00:07:58Not that I think you wouldn't do it if you thought you could get away with it.
00:08:02I got away with it.
00:08:05I'm not talking about currency.
00:08:08I took negotiable securities that could be converted into cash.
00:08:12I have the cash.
00:08:14In tens, twenties, and hundreds.
00:08:17Well, I'm your doctor, not your lawyer.
00:08:18Why tell me this?
00:08:20You'll find out why.
00:08:23Who's gonna take the blame for the robbery?
00:08:25Bailey, the cashier.
00:08:27They'll never suspect me.
00:08:28I like Bailey.
00:08:30Well, so do I.
00:08:31I love the guy.
00:08:32I gave him his first chance.
00:08:34He has a lovely little wife.
00:08:36Charming girl.
00:08:38Who's the best man?
00:08:39Where's the million?
00:08:41In my family's tomb, in Zenith.
00:08:44In the crypt, with my father's casket.
00:08:48I don't buy that charm.
00:08:51No?
00:08:52No.
00:08:54You forget that I had you in charge when you were a very sick man.
00:08:58When you raved in delirium.
00:09:01And I heard you talk about a hidden room.
00:09:04Now, where else could you put a hidden room except in that mansion you built?
00:09:08That, uh, white elephant you called the Oaks.
00:09:12Look.
00:09:13Everyone knows I have a bad heart.
00:09:17Now, who would doubt it, if you wired the bank directors, that my heart had failed.
00:09:22That I had fallen from a great height here in the woods.
00:09:25And that I was badly smashed up.
00:09:28You could, uh, ship the body back for burial and, uh, instruct them not to open the casket due to
00:09:33the condition of its contents.
00:09:36Well, you realize, of course, that, uh, we'd have to have a body to put in that casket, which means
00:09:41that we'd have to deal with an undertaker at this end.
00:09:43Of course.
00:09:45Well, where do we get a body?
00:09:48Couldn't we provide one of our own?
00:09:51How about Sam?
00:09:53Sam, our guide?
00:09:55Sam weighs about as much as I do.
00:09:57He's practically a hermit.
00:09:59He wouldn't be missed for a long time.
00:10:03The local undertaker would know him.
00:10:05Not if we made him look as if he'd been a serious accident.
00:10:09But if Bailey's gonna take the blame, why do you have to do this?
00:10:13A jury might acquit him.
00:10:14In that case, I'd be a logical suspect.
00:10:17I could disappear, of course, but it's safer if they think I'm dead.
00:10:28What if I don't go for this deal?
00:10:31In that case, it would be too bad.
00:10:38You mean you'd kill me?
00:10:40What else could I do?
00:10:42Now that I've told you about the million,
00:10:44I'd say you were shot in a hunting accident.
00:10:47Now, look, doctor.
00:10:49If you can find another body instead of Sam's,
00:10:51it's all right with me.
00:10:54There's half a million in it for you.
00:10:57I'll do my best.
00:11:00I smell smoke.
00:11:02So do I. What's that noise?
00:11:08Look, doctor. The woods are on fire.
00:11:11It's coming this way.
00:11:13We've got to get out of here.
00:11:14Out the back way.
00:11:16We will.
00:11:18As soon as I provide that body we were talking about...
00:11:44Oh, my goodness!
00:11:47Lizzie!
00:11:47Is that you?
00:11:48Yes, Miss Cornelius.
00:11:50There's a storm coming up and it's gonna be a snorter.
00:11:54The wind nearly blew the door off its hinges.
00:11:56Well, that noise blew my game higher than a kite.
00:11:59I think I've lost some of the cars.
00:12:00Oh, I'll get them for you.
00:12:02Oh, I see you found the paper.
00:12:03Oh, drop that paper, boy.
00:12:06Scootin' by on his bicycle.
00:12:07Just chucked it into a clump of bushes and let it go at that.
00:12:12Oh, for land's sake.
00:12:15Mr. Vic Bailey's been arrested.
00:12:17Oh?
00:12:18Oh, my goodness.
00:12:22Victor Bailey, vice president and cashier of the Zenith Bank...
00:12:26...was arraigned before United States Commissioner Alvin Fielding...
00:12:29...charged with the embezzlement of over a million dollars.
00:12:33I can't believe Vic Bailey had anything to do with that robbery.
00:12:38Oh, well, I see our landlord is home again.
00:12:42Landlord?
00:12:43Mr. Feving.
00:12:45Dr. Malcolm Wells is back in town...
00:12:48...with the body of John Fleming, president of the Zenith Bank...
00:12:51...who was killed in a forest fire.
00:12:54Mr. Fleming will be laid to rest in his family's tomb on Friday.
00:12:58And I hope he stays there.
00:13:00Well, why shouldn't he?
00:13:02Well, this is his house.
00:13:03And ever since he died, some funny things have happened here.
00:13:08For instance?
00:13:09The housekeeper, the cook and the butler...
00:13:12...said that they heard strange noises at night.
00:13:15And the upstairs maid swore...
00:13:17...that she met a man without a face coming up the back stairs.
00:13:22Oh, so that's why they quit and left me to run this place without a staff.
00:13:27They didn't tell you, Miss Corny.
00:13:30But the truth is, they were scared to stay.
00:13:32But you're still here, Lizzy.
00:13:34Haven't you seen anything?
00:13:35No.
00:13:36No, and even if I had, I ain't afraid of ghosts.
00:13:41They're afraid of me.
00:13:43Honest, Miss Corny.
00:13:44A spiritualist told me once that ghosts was allergic to me.
00:13:52But, but this bat feller they keep talking about in the paper, I, I guess he'd be different.
00:13:59No, I don't think you'd have the same effect on him.
00:14:03Oh, dear.
00:14:06What are they trying to do? Drive people away from this part of the country?
00:14:12Why, what does it say about the bat?
00:14:16His specialty seems to be killing women.
00:14:19My goodness, two of them in one night.
00:14:23All his victims died the same way, like their throats had been ripped open with steel claws.
00:14:31That's a charming little caper.
00:14:34I'll have to try it sometime.
00:14:38In a book.
00:14:45That ain't nothing. Just something bumping against the house.
00:14:53That's just the wind banging a door. Pay no attention to it.
00:14:57Listen to this.
00:15:00One of his victims, who lived for a moment after she was found,
00:15:04described the bat as a man without a face.
00:15:08Honest, Miss Corny, I think that woman must have been exaggerating.
00:15:17That's just that heavy tapestry at the top of the stairs.
00:15:21I know, I know. I've heard it before on a windy night.
00:15:27That sounds as if there was someone on the stairs.
00:15:30I know there isn't. At least there shouldn't be.
00:15:34There ain't.
00:15:35Them's just the noises you hear in any old house on a windy night.
00:15:39It says here that the bat never leaves no fingerprints.
00:15:44That's understandable.
00:15:45Having no face, he probably has no fingers either.
00:15:50Nithy!
00:15:57And that, I suppose, is the cat dropping its dentures.
00:16:02No.
00:16:03No, I don't think so.
00:16:05But I think it's something should be looked into.
00:16:14Now, who chucked him down here?
00:16:17The wind, I hope.
00:16:19There must be a window open up there.
00:16:22No, Nithy!
00:16:24Let him lay.
00:16:25Let him sleep it off.
00:16:28I hope the power lines don't go down and put the lights out.
00:16:32Now, we'll check the windows in the living room
00:16:34and draw the curtains, and then we'll go to bed.
00:16:37Yes, ma'am.
00:16:47I won't be a minute.
00:16:54Oh!
00:16:56Oh!
00:16:56Cori!
00:16:57Oh!
00:16:58What?
00:16:58What was that?
00:17:00Oh!
00:17:01I went to get the paper.
00:17:03I turned the latch off.
00:17:05I forgot to turn it on again.
00:17:08He's out there.
00:17:09He was coming in.
00:17:11He might have got you.
00:17:13Oh, but he didn't, and he's still out there, thanks to you.
00:17:17Now you hurry now and we'll call the police. No, no, I won't leave you miss Corny. Are you okay?
00:17:24Yes, ma'am
00:17:25I'm okay
00:17:28Okay
00:17:38Operator give me the police department, please
00:17:42This is Cornelia van Gorder. I'm living at the Oaks
00:17:47We know about that miss van Gorder
00:17:49Just a moment ago a man tried to force his way into this house
00:17:53You're not alone there are you? What about your servants? Well, I have none except my chauffeur and he's away
00:17:59He won't be back into the morning. Now. There's only two of us here tonight, and we're going to lock
00:18:03ourselves in my room
00:18:06Now if if any of your men see anything will you have them call me?
00:18:12Well, thank you very much
00:18:15Come on, Lizzie, we're going to sleep in my room
00:18:29Nothing can get at us in this room now
00:18:33This door seems good and solid like the door to a tomb
00:18:48Uh, I think that couch will be comfortable. There's some extra bedding, you know, in the closet
00:18:53Yes, closet
00:18:55Let's see now
00:19:07Oh
00:19:08Huh? No bolt. Well, that's not so good
00:19:21What's that for?
00:19:23That my good woman is a booby trap
00:19:26If anybody tries to open this transom this will be knocked off and we'll hear it fall
00:19:53Oh
00:20:05Oh
00:20:07Fiddlesticks
00:20:07I forgot my night things my robe my gown and my slippers. I'll go get them now. Now wait a
00:20:14minute, Lizzie
00:20:15I'll go with you. Now, don't you bother Miss Cornelia. My room's just down the hall. Lizzie, I told you
00:20:21to wait
00:20:22See, it's all right. I'll only be a second
00:20:26Get in here, get in here
00:20:40Yes? Miss Van Gorder
00:20:41Yes?
00:20:43Zenith Police Department
00:20:44There's a police car just outside your house and the officers in it have reported that there's no sign of
00:20:49a prowler anywhere on the grounds
00:20:51Well, the man's inside now. He's in the hall just outside my bedroom
00:20:56I have your men break through the kitchen door and search this place from top to bottom
00:21:00Okay, Miss Van Gorder. Sit tight
00:21:02I will
00:21:03I have a gun and I know how to use it
00:21:15Oh, relax, relax, Lizzie. The police did a good job. They couldn't find anybody in here
00:21:21But we both saw him, Miss Cornelia
00:21:24All right, all right, so he got away
00:21:29But there are men on guard outside, so just try and get some rest
00:21:33There's nothing can get at us here
00:22:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, Miss Cornelia, Miss Cornelia
00:22:12What's the matter?
00:22:14Oh, nonsense. You've had a nightmare.
00:22:17Maybe I did, but there was a battery and it bit me.
00:22:21What?
00:22:21It flew in that closet.
00:22:23Oh, good gracious, Lizzie, you're right.
00:22:27Oh!
00:22:42Operator, operator, will you get me Dr. Malcolm Wells' office, please?
00:22:47No, I don't know his number and I have no phone book up here, but this is an emergency.
00:22:50Will you connect me with his office, please?
00:22:51Oh, dear, oh, dear. I'm gonna get the rabies.
00:22:54Hello.
00:22:56Hello. Dr. Wells' office?
00:22:57This is a call service. Dr. Wells is out at the moment, but if you'll give me your name and
00:23:01number, I'll try to locate him.
00:23:03Well, this is Miss Van Gorder of the Oaks.
00:23:05My maid has just been bitten by a bat that may be rabid and she must have treatment as soon
00:23:09as possible.
00:23:10And I was told that Dr. Wells was the nearest physician.
00:23:12I'll try to find him for you. And if I can't, I'll send you another doctor.
00:23:16Oh, well, thank you very much.
00:23:18Oh, he's out on a case.
00:23:19Oh.
00:23:20Oh, I hope it's not a delivery.
00:23:21A baby, I mean, they can be terribly complicated.
00:23:24They never bothered me none.
00:23:26Oh, Lizzie, you never had a baby.
00:23:28Of course I didn't. That's why they never bothered me.
00:23:30Oh, does it hurt, huh?
00:23:31A little.
00:23:57Oh.
00:24:01Oh.
00:24:09Oh, my God.
00:24:14Uh-oh.
00:24:15Um!
00:24:15Oh!
00:24:16Mm-mm.
00:24:19Oh, my God.
00:24:21Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:53Dr. Wells? Are you there, Dr. Wells?
00:25:00Are you there, Dr. Wells? This is the operator.
00:25:03Your call service is on the wire. It's an emergency.
00:25:10This is Dr. Wells.
00:25:12This is your call service, doctor.
00:25:14Oh, hello. I was just doing an experiment. I left the receiver off.
00:25:19That's what I thought, but I kept trying.
00:25:20Miss Van Gorder at the Oaks called and said that her maid had been bitten by a bat.
00:25:24And she's afraid it might be rabbit.
00:25:26What? Oh, all right. Tell her I'll be right over there.
00:25:54Come on.
00:25:55Come on.
00:26:03Come on.
00:26:05Come on.
00:26:19Let's go.
00:27:05Let's go.
00:27:11Oh, I'm so glad they found you, Doctor.
00:27:13Well, I reached my office shortly after you called.
00:27:16How is your maid?
00:27:17Is she in any pain?
00:27:18No, no, she doesn't seem to be.
00:27:20Did the bat get away?
00:27:22No, I believe it's still in my bedroom.
00:27:25Good, I'll want to examine it.
00:27:27There you go, Miss Allen.
00:27:28Now you'll feel better.
00:27:30Doctor, have I got the rabies?
00:27:32Well, I can tell you better after I've examined the bat's brain under a microscope.
00:27:36That thing's got a brain?
00:27:38Oh, you'd be surprised.
00:27:40Where is it?
00:27:42Well, I think the little darling is in that closet.
00:27:44Oh.
00:27:46You know, it's a pity you leased this house, Miss Van Gorder.
00:27:49Why a pity?
00:27:51Well, my dear lady, I don't want to alarm you, but...
00:27:53Oh, well, after tonight, nothing can alarm me.
00:27:56Yes, I understand.
00:27:58It must have been terrifying.
00:28:00So many unexplainable things have happened here.
00:28:04There's something about the place.
00:28:06Your servants must have sensed it when they walked out on you.
00:28:11An apprehension of disaster.
00:28:14Well, let's see.
00:28:17Aha!
00:28:18Yes.
00:28:19There he is.
00:28:20All right, now.
00:28:21Take it easy.
00:28:22Nobody's going to hurt you.
00:28:24Quiet, now.
00:28:25Quiet.
00:28:32He looks quite normal.
00:28:33Doesn't seem to be sick at all.
00:28:35Oh, ain't that nice.
00:28:37I've been worried about him.
00:28:39Well, you should be.
00:28:41From his appearance, I'd say that he doesn't have any infection.
00:28:46In which case, you've had a narrow escape.
00:28:51Now, you take one of those tablets I left for you,
00:28:54and I'll guarantee you a good night.
00:28:55And I'll drop in on you tomorrow.
00:28:57Oh, thanks for everything, Doctor.
00:29:01Now, don't worry.
00:29:02I can find my way out.
00:29:03Oh, I know you can, but do let me help you.
00:29:05Oh, don't forget that once I'm gone,
00:29:08you'll have to climb those stairs alone.
00:29:09Oh, I'm all right.
00:29:11I'm armed now.
00:29:13Can you, uh, shoot one of those things without shutting your eyes?
00:29:16Oh, Doctor, there are guns in every book I've ever written.
00:29:19I don't write about things I'm unfamiliar with.
00:29:23Lock the door, Lizzie.
00:29:24Good night.
00:29:25Yes, ma'am.
00:29:25Good night, Doctor.
00:29:29Accident?
00:29:29No, no, the wind blew him down.
00:29:31Oh.
00:29:32I think.
00:29:34Did you know that young Mark Fleming leased you this house without notifying his uncle?
00:29:38No.
00:29:39No, I didn't.
00:29:40Well, it doesn't matter now.
00:29:42John Fleming is dead and Mark's his heir.
00:29:45But if John were alive, he would warn you to leave here, Miss Van Gorder.
00:29:48Really?
00:29:48Yes.
00:29:50It's been a tragic place for anyone who ever lived in it.
00:29:53Well, good night.
00:29:54Good night, Doctor.
00:29:56Who's out there?
00:29:58Nobody you need to worry about, Doctor.
00:29:59Oh, it's Andy.
00:30:00That's right.
00:30:01Oh, good evening, Miss Van Gorder.
00:30:02Good evening, Lieutenant.
00:30:04Was somebody sick here?
00:30:06My maid was bitten by a bat.
00:30:08Oh?
00:30:10A rabbit bat?
00:30:11Well, I'll know for sure when I get to my lab, I caught the bat.
00:30:16It happened indoors?
00:30:17In my bedroom, yes.
00:30:19How'd it get in?
00:30:19Well, there are many ways a bat could get in a house.
00:30:22You ought to know.
00:30:25I, uh, I spotted this hole in the window the minute I got here.
00:30:28Why?
00:30:29That's where the two-legged bat got your door open.
00:30:35Miss Van Gorder told me that she, uh, phoned headquarters at Zenith.
00:30:39Yes, I phoned twice.
00:30:41The second time was after the prowler got in the house.
00:30:44Weren't you at headquarters, Andy?
00:30:46No, but they contacted me.
00:30:47An officer came and searched the house from top to bottom,
00:30:50but they couldn't find the bat.
00:30:51You better have this window fixed tomorrow.
00:30:53Oh, yes, I certainly shall.
00:30:54Listen, I'd better be going.
00:30:56I'm due in surgery at 8 o'clock in the morning.
00:30:58Good night.
00:30:59Good night, Doctor.
00:31:00There will be a man patrolling the grounds all night, Miss Van Gorder.
00:31:02Oh, thank you.
00:31:02And nobody inside, Andy.
00:31:05Why should there be?
00:31:06Well, how do you know but what the bat is hiding somewhere in the house?
00:31:11I'm quite sure he isn't in the house, Doctor.
00:31:14Not now.
00:31:17Good night.
00:31:18Good night.
00:31:19Good night.
00:31:20Good night.
00:31:37Good night.
00:31:38Hi, Andy.
00:31:39Hello, Mark.
00:31:42Well, congratulations.
00:31:45Real estate business must be big enough.
00:31:47New office, new furniture.
00:31:49New deal.
00:31:50How do you like it?
00:31:50Well, it looks expensive.
00:31:53Are you squandering your inheritance?
00:31:55Oh, I haven't got it yet.
00:31:57Well, the paper says John Fleming left his entire fortune to you.
00:32:00Funny thing about that entire fortune is that we can't find it.
00:32:03No kidding.
00:32:04Well, all Uncle John had in his bank account was a couple of hundred dollars.
00:32:08And his safe deposit box was empty.
00:32:11If we don't find that missing million, mine will be empty, too.
00:32:14How come?
00:32:15Well, all my savings were invested in Zenith Bank stock.
00:32:19The examiners won't certify the bank is solvent until those stolen securities are found.
00:32:24So the stockholders have voted an assessment as to wipe some of us out.
00:32:28It's a sense those securities have been converted into cash.
00:32:32And if I can't find that cash, I'm sunk.
00:32:35Well, where are you going to look for it, Andy?
00:32:37Here in Zenith.
00:32:39Your uncle wouldn't take a million on a hunting trip, would he?
00:32:43You suspect Uncle John?
00:32:46Why, Andy, he phoned at the Zenith Bank.
00:32:49That'd be like robbing the family tomb.
00:32:52You think he wouldn't?
00:32:54Well, besides, Vic Bailey's fingerprints are all over the vault.
00:32:58Now, they didn't find any of Uncle John's fingerprints.
00:33:01Because he wiped them off.
00:33:03Can the defense prove that?
00:33:05They're trying to.
00:33:06Judy Hollander, Bailey's secretary, is a defense witness.
00:33:10And they believe her testimony will have a powerful effect on the jury.
00:33:14Oh, well, she has a powerful effect on me.
00:33:18Judy's a doll.
00:33:20Here's the book you mentioned, Judy.
00:33:22It's your newest one.
00:33:23Yes, it's just been published.
00:33:25You can have that copy, if you wish.
00:33:26Oh, it's a first edition, and you've signed it.
00:33:29Yes, of course.
00:33:30Thank you so much.
00:33:33May I serve tea now, Miss Angorda?
00:33:36Yes, please do, Warner.
00:33:40And I see you've engaged new servants.
00:33:42Yes, of course.
00:33:43Well, how did you persuade them to live in this house?
00:33:46Well, Jane Patterson, my new housekeeper, knows this house better than you do, Doctor.
00:33:50She worked for John Fleming.
00:33:52And Warner was my chauffeur.
00:33:55A chauffeur turned butler?
00:33:57That's incredible.
00:33:59He can play any part at a moment's notice.
00:34:01Did you get a plumber, Warner?
00:34:04No, we can't get a plumber for three days, madam.
00:34:07What about that leaking pipe?
00:34:09The basement will be flooded in three days.
00:34:11The pipe is no longer leaking.
00:34:13You mean it's dried up of its own accord?
00:34:16No, not quite.
00:34:17I packed the elbow where the water was coming out.
00:34:20Packed the elbow?
00:34:22Where did you learn how to do that?
00:34:24Well, into each life, a little rain must fall, and a careful man learns to keep himself dry.
00:34:29Now, is there anything else that you require, Miss Van Gorder?
00:34:31No, not at the moment, Warner.
00:34:33Thank you, madam.
00:34:36Now, there's a character.
00:34:39How long did you say that he worked for you as chauffeur?
00:34:42About three months.
00:34:44Well, I hope he doesn't have a police record.
00:34:47My dear Dale, it may interest you to know that the last night of his life,
00:34:52John Fleming told me that he loved your husband like a son.
00:34:56If Fleming were alive today, he would be fighting to prove Vic's innocence.
00:35:02Could Mr. Fleming prove his own innocence?
00:35:05Miss Van Gorder, can there be any doubt about it?
00:35:09There will be, when Miss Hollander testifies at Vic's trial.
00:35:14Oh, you know something that we haven't heard yet, Judy?
00:35:19Something I saw with my own eyes.
00:35:23She's not permitted to say what it was.
00:35:25My dear girl, I wouldn't think of asking her.
00:35:28But let's assume for a moment that Fleming did steal the million.
00:35:31Now, what would he do about it? Where is it?
00:35:34Hidden someplace where he could lay his hands on it without getting caught in the act.
00:35:39Now, if I was writing this, instead of living in the middle of it,
00:35:44I'd hide it right here in this spooky old house.
00:35:47Under a loose floorboard or up a chimney?
00:35:51If Mr. Fleming had the nerve to steal a million,
00:35:55he'd make his plans well in advance.
00:35:59I'd say he'd prepare a place to hide it.
00:36:03Possibly when this house was being built.
00:36:06I rented this place for Mark Fleming, his nephew.
00:36:10I wonder...
00:36:11I wonder if he'd have the floor plans.
00:36:14I'll ask him.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:17Lizzie, will you bring Mrs. Bailey the phone?
00:36:20Oh, you ask him now.
00:36:22His number is Summit, uh...
00:36:24Summit 7537.
00:36:27Oh, thank you, Lizzie.
00:36:30Summit 7537.
00:36:35Not bad, eh, Andy?
00:36:37That means new business.
00:36:40Now, you see?
00:36:41Somebody wants to buy a house.
00:36:44Mark Fleming speaking.
00:36:46Oh, hello, Dale.
00:36:50Well, hang on a minute, honey, while I see if I have them.
00:36:53It's Dale Bailey, all excited.
00:36:55Miss Van Gorder wants to know if I have the floor plans of the Oaks.
00:36:58Now, what would she want with the floor plans?
00:37:02Well, she suggested to me that your uncle might have hidden the bank loot there.
00:37:06Are the plans here?
00:37:10Well, somewhere in the house itself.
00:37:14Wait a minute, there is a place where Uncle Johnny might have kept those blueprints.
00:37:18What place?
00:37:19Well, I heard him talk about it a good many years ago.
00:37:21I can't be sure of the exact location.
00:37:25Anyway, I don't think the old boy had the guts to steal a million.
00:37:28But if I find those plans, I'll let you know, Andy.
00:37:32Hello, Dale.
00:37:33Look, honey, I haven't seen those plans since I was a kid.
00:37:36But I'll come over tonight, and maybe we can find them.
00:37:39Thank you, Mark.
00:37:40We'll expect you.
00:37:44He seems to think they're here in the house somewhere.
00:37:46He's coming over tonight.
00:37:47Well, that's good.
00:37:49Dale and Judy are my house guests for the weekend.
00:37:52Would you like to have dinner with us tonight?
00:37:54Oh, no, thank you.
00:37:55I couldn't.
00:37:56I still have a few calls to make.
00:37:58You know, if Judy's testimony is going to clear Vic Bailey
00:38:01and implicate John Fleming,
00:38:02others may get the idea that there's buried treasure in this house.
00:38:06Don't even mention your testimony until you're actually on the stand.
00:38:10Oh, I won't.
00:38:11That's a smart girl, Judy.
00:38:13And a very lovely girl.
00:38:14Well, good afternoon, ladies.
00:38:16Goodbye, Dr. Will.
00:38:17Come on, girls, let's go.
00:38:32Come up.
00:38:38Come on.
00:38:43Bye.
00:38:43Good evening, Missy.
00:38:44We're here for you.
00:38:44Have a great fun.
00:38:48Please?
00:38:48Go on.
00:38:49See you, Missy.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:56Bye.
00:39:03So many unusual things have happened to you in the summer.
00:39:07The more I think about it, the more I realize I should be putting them down on paper.
00:39:15Weren't you your husband's secretary, Dale?
00:39:18Yes, I was.
00:39:19Do you take short hand?
00:39:22Well, my dear, if you'd like to have your mind occupied,
00:39:26I want you to work with me while I write the story of this fantastic criminal, the bat.
00:39:54Let's go.
00:40:03Yes, and please do that.
00:40:09Well, my dear, I'm not sure what it is.
00:40:14So good.
00:40:20Come here.
00:40:21Come here, ma'am.
00:40:22I've never told you, Dan.
00:40:23What's the name of this woman?
00:40:23This woman, what's the name of this woman?
00:40:24What's the name of this woman?
00:40:24It's really nice.
00:40:27It's a good dinner, Lizzie.
00:40:28As usual.
00:40:29It's wonderful.
00:40:31Oh, what a lovely piece of silver.
00:40:35It's an original, isn't it?
00:40:36Yes, they still use them in England for the day of breakfasts.
00:40:44You should keep us hung with your sausages and your scrambled eggs.
00:40:48Interesting. It's very useful and really nice.
00:41:03That clock hasn't struck the hour in the last ten years,
00:41:06if I'm to believe what Mark Fleming told me.
00:41:08Why is it angled away from the wall like that?
00:41:10I don't know. Somebody must have moved it.
00:41:13Lizzie very likely when she was dusting.
00:41:15Wait a minute.
00:41:16Did you know there's a door in this panel?
00:41:19No, no, I didn't.
00:41:20Oh, my gracious, so there is.
00:41:23Maybe it opens to a secret passage.
00:41:25Certainly to a secret something.
00:41:27Who knows, girls?
00:41:28We'll be about to stumble on that missing minion.
00:41:31Oh, this is horrible.
00:41:32There's a panel. There's a panel.
00:41:33There must be some gimmick to it.
00:41:35There always is.
00:41:36Yes, it moves.
00:41:37It moves.
00:41:37Oh!
00:41:39Oh!
00:41:41Oh!
00:41:43Oh!
00:41:50Calling car 11.
00:41:52Calling car 11.
00:41:54Proceed to the Oaks and Zenith Township immediately.
00:41:58A homicide has been reported.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:04Proceeding to the Oaks.
00:42:06Notify the county coroner, Dr. Warehouse.
00:42:08Tell him to come to the Oaks at once.
00:42:20Horrible.
00:42:21As if his throat had been torn by some creature with fangs or claws or...
00:42:27That's his sign.
00:42:29We found it on the others he killed.
00:42:32I had hoped those reports that he was up to his old tricks again were pure imagination,
00:42:36but apparently they're based on fact.
00:42:40He's come back.
00:42:42Back to the scene of his kills.
00:42:46Yes, that's who I mean.
00:42:48That's who did this.
00:42:51The bat.
00:42:53Who found Mark?
00:42:55We all did.
00:42:56And it's Dale and Judy and I.
00:42:59Lizzie was in the dining room.
00:43:00This is my new housekeeper, Jane Patterson.
00:43:03You know, she worked for John Fleming.
00:43:05I know her.
00:43:06Where were you, Mrs. Patterson?
00:43:08In the kitchen.
00:43:09Cleaning up.
00:43:10I cooked the dinner tonight.
00:43:13Did you know that the secret closet was here?
00:43:16No.
00:43:17It was behind the grandfather's clock.
00:43:19Well, it was I who found it, really.
00:43:22I noticed the clock had been moved and the door wasn't quite closed.
00:43:26I'll get it.
00:43:41Who is it?
00:43:50Mark Fleming.
00:43:52Mark Fleming.
00:43:53This coroner, you saw the same wounds on the others.
00:43:56How long's he been dead?
00:43:58Oh, I'd say about a half an hour.
00:44:00Do you believe it was the bat?
00:44:02That's the bat's trademark.
00:44:04Perhaps he's still in the house.
00:44:08That's possible.
00:44:12Why should he be?
00:44:14Because he's looking for something.
00:44:16And like you, he believes it's here.
00:44:18And he's a persistent killer.
00:44:20I would advise you to get out of this house as quickly as possible.
00:44:24Notwithstanding our expert police protection.
00:44:27Have you called the morgue?
00:44:28They're on their way here.
00:44:29Oh, good.
00:44:30I want to examine the body before they get here.
00:44:33May we take it into another room?
00:44:35Yes, to the sunroom in the back.
00:44:37Give me a hand.
00:44:37Excuse me.
00:44:48Oh, Warner, where have you been?
00:44:51Well, madam, it was...
00:44:52Has it been an accident?
00:44:54There's been a murder.
00:44:58Mark Fleming, the young man from whom I leased this place, was killed here tonight.
00:45:02They know who did it?
00:45:03Well, they...
00:45:04They believe it was the bat.
00:45:06I'm sorry I had to use the front door, Miss Van Gorder.
00:45:09But I forgot my keys and I rang the bell at the kitchen door.
00:45:12There was no response.
00:45:13Oh, this is Warner, Lieutenant.
00:45:15He's my butler.
00:45:16He was my chauffeur.
00:45:18Why did you promote him?
00:45:19Well, it's very difficult to find a butler.
00:45:21They don't like service in the country.
00:45:24Have you been a butler before?
00:45:26I've served in many capacities, sir, but this was my night off and I forgot my keys.
00:45:30I heard that part.
00:45:32What time did you leave the house tonight?
00:45:33Oh, about 6.30.
00:45:35I had dinner at Wiley's Roadhouse.
00:45:37Can you prove where you spent the rest of the evening?
00:45:40I can try.
00:45:41Try hard.
00:45:43And don't leave the house.
00:45:44I'll get to you later.
00:45:45Very good, sir.
00:45:46I shall be in my room, Miss Van Gorder, if you need me.
00:45:50Yes, Warner.
00:45:54Surely you don't think he's...
00:45:57Warner and I've met before.
00:45:59I can't recall where or when.
00:46:03But I will.
00:46:10There will be a crew here shortly from headquarters, dusting for fingerprints, taking photographs.
00:46:14But in the meantime, Mrs. Patterson, you aren't leaving the house tonight, are you?
00:46:19No, Lieutenant.
00:46:21Don't.
00:46:21I'll talk to you in the morning.
00:46:23Good night.
00:46:23Good night, sir.
00:46:24Good night, Miss Van Gorder.
00:46:27Dale.
00:46:28I was with Mark Fleming this afternoon when you talked to him about the floor plans of this house.
00:46:33I heard him tell you he was coming here tonight.
00:46:35Dale called him at my request.
00:46:38She told me he was coming.
00:46:40Who else should I tell you that?
00:46:43Judy.
00:46:44Lizzie.
00:46:45And that nice Dr. Wells.
00:46:47Dr. Wells.
00:46:52There are a few killers who kill for the fun of it.
00:46:55But that very likely is a mental case.
00:46:57And I'm convinced that his crimes are motivated by his mania for personal gain.
00:47:02There's a million dollars at large.
00:47:03And he's going to keep on hunting for it until he lays his hands on it.
00:47:07Now, these young ladies are staying here tonight?
00:47:09Yes, they're my house guests.
00:47:11Well, when my crew arrives, we'll be busy for a while.
00:47:14So I'd suggest that you...
00:47:15That we go to our rooms?
00:47:16That's a very good idea.
00:47:18Come on, girls.
00:47:22What about a police guard for this house tonight, Lieutenant?
00:47:26You've got one.
00:47:27I'm going to cover this place tonight from the attic to the basement.
00:47:30If the bat makes another call, I'll have a little surprise for him.
00:47:36Who, uh...
00:47:37Who is he?
00:47:39Have you any idea?
00:47:46He could be anybody.
00:47:47So far, there are clues to his identity, but nothing we could take before a jury.
00:47:52I am afraid we must look higher than the criminal world.
00:47:56He may be a merchant, lawyer, doctor, scientist.
00:48:00One of the pillars of his community.
00:48:04Ladies, lock your doors tonight. Stay behind them.
00:48:07I promise you, you'll be safe.
00:48:09Good night.
00:48:10Good night, you dear.
00:48:10Good night.
00:48:11Good night.
00:48:12Good night.
00:48:25Good night.
00:48:27Good night.
00:48:29Good night.
00:48:29Good night.
00:48:29Let's go.
00:48:45Poor Mark.
00:48:46Yeah, it's a pity.
00:48:48So young.
00:48:50Well, Doctor, do you agree it was the bat?
00:48:53In my report, I shall say the death was caused by the same technique used in the other killings.
00:48:58A paralyzing blow to the throat, followed by severe lacerations of the jugular,
00:49:04resulting in excessive hemorrhage.
00:49:07In a layman's language, he didn't know what hit him.
00:49:10Oh, he knew.
00:49:12But he didn't have time to think about it.
00:49:23You staying here tonight, Andy?
00:49:24Well, until I check the doors and windows, but I'll be back bright and early in the morning.
00:49:31Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers
00:49:35from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
00:49:38A lot of people are due for a shock when I close this case.
00:49:42Yes, I'm sure they are.
00:49:44Good night, Andy. Don't get hurt.
00:49:48Good night, Doctor.
00:50:03You know, I think we'd better let you get some sleep.
00:50:05Oh, Lizzie and I share this room for mutual protection.
00:50:08You know, one night, a storm blew the wires down, put the lights out,
00:50:12and I went out the next day and bought a half a dozen of these things.
00:50:14You'd better take one with you, Dale.
00:50:16Oh, thank you.
00:50:19We'll go across the hall now.
00:50:20Are you sure? There's nothing else you need.
00:50:22Oh, no. Quite sure. We'll be all right.
00:50:24Well, if anything bothers you, you just sing out,
00:50:27and two strong women will come to your rescue.
00:50:30Oh, nothing will bother us. Not with Andy on the job.
00:50:32Well, good night. Good night.
00:50:35Don't worry. Everything will be all right.
00:50:37No, we won't. Good night.
00:50:37Good night.
00:50:39Come on.
00:51:03Oh, I don't think I'll sleep tonight.
00:51:05Me neither.
00:51:08All I can see is poor Mark Fleming staring at us.
00:51:13I thought that when people died, their eyes closed, as in sleep.
00:51:18Don't think about it.
00:51:20I'll bet you're thinking about it.
00:51:23No, I was thinking of my poor husband sleeping in jail tonight.
00:51:28Oh, Judy, I love him so much.
00:51:44Come, kids.
00:51:50My whew.
00:51:53Honey, it's in the meeting .
00:51:55She's dead.
00:51:57I won't Brown.
00:51:58I couldn't hear you.
00:51:58Sir.
00:51:58You're pregnant.
00:51:59Come, please.
00:51:59Are you manë‚´ers?
00:51:59Yes, you were dead?
00:52:00No, really?
00:52:01Yes, sir.
00:52:02Mrs. feet are dead.
00:52:02Come on.
00:52:36Come on.
00:53:06Come on.
00:53:34Come on.
00:54:05Come on.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:09Come on.
00:54:15Come on.
00:54:23Come on.
00:54:54What's that noise?
00:54:55Oh, I don't know.
00:54:57I kind of fell half asleep.
00:54:59For a moment I thought it was something from a dream.
00:55:01It's somewhere in the house.
00:55:02Yes, on the floor above.
00:55:04Yes, on the floor above.
00:55:06Probably a room overlooking the driveway.
00:55:35Should we call this way.
00:55:41Let's go, let's go.
00:55:42I think we're a couple of hysterical women.
00:55:44Well, I'm about to become a.
00:55:45Oh, dear.
00:55:46Oh, dear.
00:55:46I've had it for one night.
00:55:47Dale, you're not going out in that hall.
00:55:49I want to know what's happening up there.
00:55:51But Lieutenant Anderson said if we stayed behind our locked doors, we'd be safe.
00:55:55Vic isn't safe locked up in that jail.
00:55:57Suppose that stolen money is in this house.
00:55:59Mark Fleming seemed to think it was.
00:56:01Maybe that's what somebody's looking for.
00:56:07Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:56:09Don't you hear that awful noise up there?
00:56:13Now, Lizzie, you've just got to stay awake.
00:56:16The house phone and the outside phone wires have been cut and we can't get help.
00:56:21Where's that policeman?
00:56:23Oh, I don't know. Something must have happened to him.
00:56:26Now, go on. Get on your robe.
00:56:27Oh, Dale, please don't go up there.
00:56:29I've got to. Think what it could mean to Vic.
00:56:31Now, you stay here.
00:56:32Oh, no. If you go, I go.
00:56:55You stay here.
00:56:56No, no. I won't let you go up there alone.
00:56:58You wait here. I'm going to see what it is.
00:57:00Oh, please let me go with you, do you?
00:57:01Well, you warn me if anyone comes.
00:57:03I'll only be a moment.
00:57:05Now, wait.
00:57:06I'll be right.
00:57:58Let's go.
00:58:06What's wrong, Judy?
00:58:07Oh, no.
00:58:10Oh, no.
00:58:11Oh, no.
00:58:13Judy works.
00:58:18Judy.
00:58:19Judy, no, no.
00:58:21Judy.
00:58:24Give her to me.
00:58:26I'll look after you.
00:58:27Oh, no.
00:58:29Oh, no.
00:58:30Oh, no.
00:58:35Poor baby.
00:58:49Judy.
00:58:58The bat.
00:59:00Yes, the bat.
00:59:01He caught her at the head of the stairs.
00:59:04We saw him rushing down the stairs as we came out of the room.
00:59:07I hurled that after him.
00:59:10I hit him, I believe.
00:59:12I'm going to cover this place from attic to basement, you said.
00:59:15Well, what were you covering when that poor child was murdered?
00:59:18Where were you?
00:59:19I saw a man outside in the grounds.
00:59:22I went out there and hunted him.
00:59:24I heard him in among the trees,
00:59:26and so I followed the sound of him as far as the brook down near the back road.
00:59:29And then I lost her.
00:59:31I'd rather give my own life than have this happen to Judy.
00:59:35But I told you to stay in your rooms and lock your doors and stay there.
00:59:39What was she doing at the head of those stairs?
00:59:42That was my fault.
00:59:44They heard a strange noise.
00:59:45Heavy pounding in one of the rooms on the third floor.
00:59:47We all heard it.
00:59:48I wanted to see what it was.
00:59:50Judy, I wish she wouldn't let me go out by myself.
00:59:53I made her stay on the balcony.
00:59:55What about your new butler?
00:59:56Oh, well, he's in his room, I suppose.
00:59:59Oh, Mrs. Patterson.
01:00:01Oh, yes.
01:00:02Did you know what happened to you?
01:00:03No, sir, but I heard the screams.
01:00:05I went to call Warner.
01:00:07We have rooms on the same floor.
01:00:09But he wasn't in his room.
01:00:11His bed hasn't been slept in.
01:00:13If Mrs. Patterson heard the screams, Warner could certainly hear them.
01:00:17You're quite right, sir.
01:00:18I heard them.
01:00:19Oh, you did.
01:00:20And where were you?
01:00:22Outside, in the grounds.
01:00:23Miss Holland has been murdered.
01:00:25No.
01:00:27Oh, so you're surprised.
01:00:29Shocked.
01:00:31Well, I've seen better performances.
01:00:34I remember you now.
01:00:36Your name's not Warner.
01:00:38I've got a circular in my office with your picture on it.
01:00:41The Chicago police not so long ago were hunting for you in connection with the robbery.
01:00:44You're right again, sir.
01:00:45And they found me and they tried me and I proved my innocence and I was acquitted.
01:00:49That could have been a lucky break.
01:00:52Where were you when this child was killed?
01:00:54I told you before, sir, outside.
01:00:56What were you doing there?
01:00:57I was following you.
01:00:58I saw you leaving the house and it seemed that you were hunting someone.
01:01:01I thought you might need some help.
01:01:02Oh, yes, sir.
01:01:03I followed your flashlight down through the trees.
01:01:05Then it disappeared.
01:01:07And then suddenly, as I was staring out into the darkness, I was struck by something on the back of
01:01:12the head.
01:01:12The next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground.
01:01:14I realized I'd been knocked out.
01:01:17I wish you had been knocked out.
01:01:19But then we'd have found you with your mask still on your face.
01:01:22You were hit here in this house with this poker as you were rushing down those stairs after that child
01:01:26was killed.
01:01:26Oh, no, sir.
01:01:27You can't pin this on me.
01:01:28I'm not the bat.
01:01:30I've never killed.
01:01:31I could kill.
01:01:32I won't take the rat for this.
01:02:04Well, doctor, we have another case for the county coroner.
01:02:10You see, the bat came back.
01:02:13Why did you come back, doctor?
01:02:18Well, I had an accident about a mile down the road.
01:02:22The right rear wheel of my car came off and I plunged into the ditch.
01:02:26This was the nearest house, so I came here to call for help.
01:02:31I thought I'd find you around, Andy.
01:02:38Physician, heal thyself.
01:02:42You must have been hit by something on the back of your head.
01:02:45I told you I had an accident.
01:02:47So you did, doctor.
01:02:49So you did.
01:02:52I could be wrong.
01:02:54But maybe I'm not.
01:02:57We shall see.
01:03:01All right, dear, let's start a new chapter.
01:03:04For days, the murders held the headlines.
01:03:08Lieutenant Anderson grilled us and ransacked the house from top to bottom.
01:03:14Warner was not placed under arrest, but his every move was watched.
01:03:20At night, except for a detective on guard in the house, the police and the reporters left us alone.
01:03:27And on one of those nights, without telling Lizzie or anyone else, I pursued a secret investigation of my own.
01:03:44It was in an empty room on the third floor where we kept our trunks and other things.
01:04:08.
01:04:09.
01:04:10.
01:06:21I'm going to collect it and live happily ever after.
01:06:25He destroyed himself.
01:06:27How true that will be.
01:06:30Goodbye, bat.
01:06:32Here's a serum that will heal you whether you're a rabid or not.
01:06:37Here's a bit.
01:07:04Here's a bit.
