00:00:00The End
00:00:55Listen. Let me be wrong for once. Write a new head.
00:01:05Hey, boy.
00:01:08Yes, sir?
00:01:09Did you find Tracy Gep?
00:01:10No, sir. He's still out.
00:01:12When you find Mr. Tracy, would you ask him if he would condescend to undertake a little
00:01:15repertorial chore for me this afternoon?
00:01:18If you don't mind.
00:01:20Oh, no, sir. I don't mind.
00:01:21Don't stand there like an imbecile. Round him up.
00:01:24Yes, sir.
00:01:26Well, they're here, Mr. Boswick.
00:01:28Who's here?
00:01:28The students.
00:01:29What are they doing here?
00:01:31Mr. Boswick, don't you remember?
00:01:33It was a promotion tie-up to increase circulation.
00:01:35And what did I promise them?
00:01:38Well, they were to work for you for three days as real reporters.
00:01:41And the one who submits the best story during that time was to receive $50.
00:01:46And a gold medal.
00:01:47Oh, I might have guessed it.
00:01:49I don't know why I let you talk me into these things.
00:01:52Last week you had the place filled with a lot of champion potato pickers.
00:01:55And now the place is going to be overcrowded with a lot of crazy cubs.
00:01:58I won't see them.
00:01:59Mr. Boswick, they're right beside you.
00:02:03Oh, Mr. Boswick, these are the young people you've been so anxious to meet.
00:02:07Miss Nassie Drew from the Brimwood School for Young Ladies.
00:02:10I'm very pleased to meet you.
00:02:11Hiya.
00:02:11Good to meet you.
00:02:13Miss Phyllis Kimble of Longstreet Hill.
00:02:15How are you?
00:02:16How are you?
00:02:16Oh, Mr. Boswick, are we really going to have real assignments just like real reporters?
00:02:20Why don't all of us actually...
00:02:22Can I cover a scandal?
00:02:24Girls, boys.
00:02:26Mr. Boswick, won't you say a few words to the contestants?
00:02:29Yes, very sure.
00:02:32Why, anyone is simple-minded enough to want to work on a newspaper?
00:02:34I've never been able to find out.
00:02:36Why, Mr. Boswick, journalism is a very noble and glorious career.
00:02:40With all the adventure and romance and everything, I should think you just love it.
00:02:44I do love it.
00:02:45I love every minute of it.
00:02:47I love my employees, too.
00:02:49Here, take one.
00:02:51All right.
00:02:52I won't look.
00:02:58What'd you get?
00:02:59I've got to write a story about a squirrel in the park.
00:03:02Where does the mayor live?
00:03:03What?
00:03:04I've got to find out how many babies he kissed last week.
00:03:06A human interest story about a goldfish?
00:03:08Ladies' amateur poetry club.
00:03:10Cozy Nook Tea Room, 1 p.m.
00:03:12All right, now.
00:03:13Come on.
00:03:13Get going.
00:03:13All right, children.
00:03:14Come on.
00:03:15Come on.
00:03:16And if it isn't news, you needn't bother coming back.
00:03:18Clever idea, isn't it?
00:03:19We'll go into that later.
00:03:20Mr. Vastwick, I don't believe you take us seriously.
00:03:23My dear miss, who is this?
00:03:24In regard to your supposition, I see you're not without first picassity.
00:03:32I still haven't been able to find Mr. Tracy.
00:03:34Every time I depend upon a reporter, I'm double-crossed.
00:03:37Oh, all right.
00:03:38Leave a memo on his desk.
00:03:39Tell him to hurry over to the courthouse right away.
00:03:41They're holding an inquest on that Lambert woman.
00:03:43Yes, sir.
00:03:44Yes, sir.
00:03:44In the Sioux School of Sugar.
00:04:12Are you satisfied with your assignment, Miss Drew?
00:04:14Oh, I think it'll do.
00:04:16For a start.
00:04:25Dr. Carey, please.
00:04:31Raise your right hand.
00:04:32You swear the testimony you're about to give will be the truth.
00:04:35The whole truth is nothing but the truth.
00:04:36I do.
00:04:37Dr. Carey, as autopsy surgeon, you examined the body of Kate Lambert?
00:04:42I did.
00:04:43And what did you find?
00:04:45That Miss Lambert's death was not caused by heart failure, as Dr. Hibbert certified.
00:04:50Her death was caused by a poison, sodium farinite.
00:04:54What is sodium farinite?
00:04:56It's a chemical used in photography.
00:04:59Is such a chemical easily obtained?
00:05:01Oh, no.
00:05:01Only on special order from the manufacturer.
00:05:03It's a new agent, not yet on the open market.
00:05:05In fact, only those who are well-advanced in photography know anything about it.
00:05:14Miles Lambert.
00:05:15Mr. Lambert, you were the person to suspect your aunt had not met a natural death?
00:05:19I was.
00:05:22What aroused your suspicions?
00:05:24Well, for years, Dr. Hibbert had assured me that my aunt's heart condition was nothing
00:05:29to worry about.
00:05:30And when she died so suddenly, I was naturally very shocked and surprised.
00:05:34But even so, I didn't suspect anything until I happened to run across a scientific magazine
00:05:39in my aunt's library.
00:05:41There was an article in that magazine which had a great deal of significance to me in view
00:05:45of the circumstances.
00:05:46The article was about sodium farinite.
00:05:49And the portions of it dealing with the chemical's poisonous properties had been carefully marked
00:05:54in pencil.
00:05:57To whom does this magazine belong?
00:05:59It's addressed to Eula Denning.
00:06:02Did you mark this article, Mr. Denning?
00:06:04Well, I, uh, I must have...
00:06:06Why?
00:06:07I keep a file of all chemicals I work with, especially poisonous ones and their antidotes.
00:06:13Then you are interested in photography.
00:06:16Yes.
00:06:17How familiar are you with sodium farinite?
00:06:19Well, I...
00:06:20I know something about it.
00:06:23Miss Denning, what was your relationship with Kate Lambert?
00:06:27My mother was her companion for many years.
00:06:29After Mother died, Miss Lambert took care of me.
00:06:33Isn't it true that under the terms of Miss Lambert's will, you were the sole beneficiary?
00:06:38Yes, but...
00:06:39Oh, but I didn't kill her.
00:06:42Well, Kate Lambert was the best friend I ever had.
00:06:45She put me through school, treated me as her own child.
00:06:48And yet you coerced into making a will, leaving all her property to you.
00:06:52No.
00:06:52A will that was made less than a week before her death.
00:06:54No.
00:06:55I didn't do it.
00:06:57Someone must have taken the poison from the dark room.
00:06:59Mr. Gareth, if you had the chemical tin, that would prove I was innocent.
00:07:03How?
00:07:04Well, the murderer's fingerprints would be on it.
00:07:07Not if they'd been removed.
00:07:08But they couldn't be removed.
00:07:09If anyone touched that chemical, the farinite would etch the prints into the metal.
00:07:14A search has to be made for the poison container, Miss Denning.
00:07:17It's missing.
00:07:18But it must be in the house somewhere.
00:07:19Denning, you were the only person connected with the Lambert household with a knowledge of sodium farinite.
00:07:24You were the only one who had access to Miss Lambert's room the night she died.
00:07:28And you were the only one who had motive to commit murder.
00:07:31I didn't kill her, I tell you.
00:07:32I didn't.
00:07:32I didn't kill her, I tell you.
00:07:34That's all.
00:07:38What's the verdict?
00:07:38The Denning girl's being held for trial.
00:07:40Murdered.
00:07:48What's up, baby?
00:07:50Something we didn't figure on.
00:07:51I gotta get out to Lambert, drawn up on a tin can.
00:07:57Here!
00:08:00Oh, my heaven.
00:08:01Come back here!
00:08:03Oh, my.
00:08:04It's gone away.
00:08:04It drove away.
00:08:06Knock the bumper off.
00:08:13What's all this about a tin can?
00:08:15There's fingerprints on it.
00:08:17If the cops find it first, we're gonna be in a jam.
00:08:19A jam?
00:08:20How?
00:08:21Never mind how.
00:08:22If your Denning isn't sent up, she'll get all that old lady's dough.
00:08:26Oh, I see.
00:08:27And if she is sent up, the money goes to Mars Lambert.
00:08:31Not bad.
00:08:32How much do you get?
00:08:34Oh, Lambert's take care of me.
00:08:36Looks like I'll have to start being nice to Mr. Lambert.
00:08:39Don't you be nice to nobody but me, Lambert Pie.
00:08:41I'll have to start by.
00:08:46I'll have to start.
00:08:50Goodbye.
00:08:51Bye.
00:08:52Bye.
00:08:55Bye.
00:08:59Bye.
00:09:04Bye.
00:09:06Bye.
00:09:08Bye.
00:09:09Bye.
00:09:38Be careful, baby.
00:09:44Officer, did a man come in here?
00:09:46The DA's closed up this joint, miss.
00:09:48No one can get in here without a court order.
00:09:50I'm here to see to that.
00:09:51Oh, well, a man bumped into my fender and ran away and...
00:09:54Oh, a hit and a runner, eh?
00:09:56Yes, and he must be around here someplace.
00:09:59It's the only place he could have gone.
00:10:00Well, in that case, miss, you and I'll just take a look around.
00:10:02Oh, well, maybe you'd better go on that side of the house,
00:10:04and I'll go on this one so he can't escape.
00:10:06Good idea. And if you spot him, yell, I'll come a-runner.
00:10:12Come on.
00:10:15Hey, what are you doing there?
00:10:18Why, I'm here to read the gas meter.
00:10:21That's the man, officer. He's the one who smashed my fender.
00:10:24Oh, a runnin' hitter, eh?
00:10:26Yes, but I won't prefer charges if you'll pay to have it fixed.
00:10:30Well?
00:10:33Hello, Squirt.
00:10:35It'll only cost me three and a half to have my fender fixed,
00:10:37and about 50 cents for the gasoline I wasted coming out here,
00:10:40so here's a dollar back.
00:10:42All right, get along with you.
00:10:46Thanks a lot, officer.
00:10:48He had an awful lot of money for a gas meterator.
00:10:51Maybe I'm in the wrong branch of the service.
00:10:54Did he say he was from the gas company?
00:10:56Yeah.
00:10:58Gee, that's kind of funny.
00:11:02I got it, Mr. Boswick.
00:11:03All about the Lambert inquest.
00:11:04I was a little delayed on account of a man ran into my fender and I-
00:11:07So it was you, huh?
00:11:09You switched those assignment slips, didn't you?
00:11:11Well, I thought reporters always did things like that.
00:11:14At least they do in the movies.
00:11:15And besides, it says, write in my textbook on journalism,
00:11:17that a newspaper man or woman must stop at nothing to get news.
00:11:20And if she ever intends to impress the editor,
00:11:21she must be willing to do much more than just what the assignment calls for.
00:11:24So there.
00:11:26A thing like this would happen to me.
00:11:28I have it.
00:11:29Every word.
00:11:30Oh, it's sensational.
00:11:31I bet you 2380, you never thought I could do it.
00:11:34Miss Drew, the story of the Lambert inquest was on the street a half hour ago.
00:11:39But that's impossible.
00:11:40I have it right here and...
00:11:45We were lucky enough to get it from the D.A.'s office.
00:11:54Oh, dear.
00:11:56I was so sure I had a scootin', you'd have to stop the presses.
00:11:59Stop the presses?
00:12:00Or something.
00:12:01My dear little girlie, will you please take pity on a poor, tired old man?
00:12:06If another thing like this happens to me today, I'll lose my mind.
00:12:17I'll lose my mind.
00:12:18Good morning, Dad.
00:12:18Good morning, Pet.
00:12:20Well, how's the star reported this morning?
00:12:22Don't mention it.
00:12:24You watch.
00:12:25I'll show that Mr. Bostitch or whatever his name is.
00:12:27I'll get a story yet.
00:12:29That's the spirit.
00:12:30Good morning, Miss Nancy.
00:12:31Good morning, Effie.
00:12:33Oh, does that look good?
00:12:34Effie, you're an artist.
00:12:35Boy, oh boy, what cuisine.
00:12:37Oh, shucks, Miss Nancy.
00:12:38That's just plain old cereal.
00:12:46Dad, I have a favor I want to ask of you.
00:12:49Go right ahead, darling.
00:12:50I'm in a very receptive mood this morning.
00:12:52Go right ahead.
00:12:53Well, Eula Denning needs a good lawyer, and I want you to defend her.
00:12:56No, I wouldn't want that case, Nancy.
00:12:58I've been reading about it, and I'm afraid the girl's guilty.
00:13:01There's not one bit of extenuating evidence.
00:13:02Just the same.
00:13:03I'll bet she didn't do it.
00:13:04What makes you think that?
00:13:05I don't know.
00:13:06I guess maybe it's just my woman's intuition.
00:13:08But she doesn't look like the type would poison anybody.
00:13:11Can't go by type, Nancy.
00:13:12One of the most charming women in history was a murderess,
00:13:14and she committed her crimes for far less than the Lambert estate.
00:13:18That's where the man with the funny ear came in.
00:13:20Funny ear?
00:13:21What are you talking about?
00:13:22This man sat next to me during the inquest,
00:13:24and afterwards got in the car with a woman and ran into my fender.
00:13:27Nancy, I'm going to take that car away from you if you start having accidents.
00:13:30But it wasn't my fault.
00:13:31I wasn't even in the car.
00:13:32That's why I followed him.
00:13:33I made him pay for that fender, too.
00:13:35Guess what, Dad?
00:13:36He went right out to that Lambert estate and tried to get in.
00:13:38Probably another reporter.
00:13:40Oh, I don't think so.
00:13:41He didn't look smart enough.
00:13:42He acted awfully suspicious.
00:13:43Well, I wouldn't concern myself about it too much.
00:13:45Oh, no!
00:13:46You want it?
00:13:47Certainly.
00:13:47I'm saving it for last.
00:13:49Oh.
00:13:50Goodbye, darling.
00:13:51Bye-bye, Dad.
00:14:15Ted!
00:14:16Ted!
00:14:17Oh, Ted!
00:14:20Where are you, Ted?
00:14:21In the garage.
00:14:24What do you want?
00:14:26Come here, will you?
00:14:27Something very important.
00:14:28Oh, I'm busy.
00:14:44Well, where are you?
00:14:46Here.
00:14:49What's the matter?
00:14:50What are you hiding for?
00:14:51Somebody tried to blow up my car.
00:14:53Oh, stop it, will you?
00:14:55It's nothing to get excited over.
00:14:58Nothing to get excited over.
00:15:00How can you say a thing like that?
00:15:03Why, I might have been blown to bits right before my very eyes.
00:15:07It's just a gang.
00:15:08Who?
00:15:09A whistle bomb.
00:15:12You mean it's just a practical joke?
00:15:14Sure.
00:15:15It blows off when you press the starter.
00:15:17And boy, did you go into a tailspin.
00:15:20Ted Nickerson, I'll bet you put that thing in there.
00:15:22Oh, don't be an infant.
00:15:24I got better things to do.
00:15:26Well, fine thing.
00:15:28It's going to be a menace to civilization.
00:15:30Anyone who deliberately do a trick like that ought to...
00:15:32Pipe down.
00:15:39We didn't do anything.
00:15:40We didn't do anything.
00:15:41Oh, let me go.
00:15:42I'm going to tell Mom, you.
00:15:44Look, they got a load of them.
00:15:46They're not mine.
00:15:47They're killers.
00:15:47Killer Perkins?
00:15:48You'll grow up to be a fiend.
00:15:49But it was Mary's idea.
00:15:50It certainly was.
00:15:52Mary Nickerson, you ought to be a shaman.
00:15:55Ted, aren't you going to speak to your sister?
00:15:57That gangster?
00:15:58She's out of my control.
00:15:59Oh, you're just jealous because you didn't think of it at first.
00:16:02Give me those.
00:16:03Hey, those belong to my big brother.
00:16:04They don't now.
00:16:06Now, go on.
00:16:06Get out of here.
00:16:07Before I lose control of myself, go on.
00:16:09Get out of here.
00:16:11You thugs.
00:16:12I'm in my old backyard.
00:16:13Don't you dare come in.
00:16:14Get out of here.
00:16:17Get out of here.
00:16:18Get out of here.
00:16:19Get out of here.
00:16:22Get out of here.
00:16:24Get out of here.
00:16:25Nice going, Nancy.
00:16:26The very idea.
00:16:28Just a nice quiet morning at the Drews.
00:16:31Well, so long.
00:16:31I'll be seeing you.
00:16:32Where you going?
00:16:33Now, where do you think I'd be going with this tennis racket?
00:16:36To shovel coal?
00:16:37I'll tell you where he's going.
00:16:39For 10 cents.
00:16:40I wouldn't pay you a penny.
00:16:42I'm not that interested.
00:16:43Then what are you asking for?
00:16:45You get in the house.
00:16:47I'll tell you anyway.
00:16:49He's got a date with a beautiful girl.
00:16:53Oh, are you going to play tennis again with that woman?
00:16:57What do you mean, woman?
00:16:58She's only two years older than you are.
00:17:00Well, she'd rather play tennis.
00:17:02Why, all right.
00:17:02But I was sort of depending on you to help me.
00:17:04Of course, my getting the best story for the paper isn't really so important.
00:17:08But you know how it is.
00:17:09The honor and everything would be nice.
00:17:11Oh, gosh, Nancy.
00:17:12Oh, it's all right.
00:17:12Go right ahead.
00:17:13Don't mind me.
00:17:14I just...
00:17:14Oh, by the way, I have something for you.
00:17:17Oh, you have?
00:17:18Well, what is it?
00:17:19Oh, it's nothing really.
00:17:20Just a little birthday present.
00:17:24I spent the four bucks.
00:17:25I had to fix the fender.
00:17:27Well...
00:17:27Gee, Nancy, thanks.
00:17:29But my birthday isn't for two months yet.
00:17:31Is that so?
00:17:33Uh-huh.
00:17:33Oh, well, now that you've seen it, you might as well keep it.
00:17:38Well...
00:17:38Gee, thanks.
00:17:39I...
00:17:40I don't...
00:17:42Oh, gosh.
00:17:45Thanks.
00:17:45You're welcome.
00:17:47Wait a minute, Nancy.
00:17:48Look, I might postpone my tennis state if you really need me.
00:17:52Oh, don't bother.
00:17:53Don't bother.
00:17:54I was just going down to the jail to interview Eula Denning and, uh, I wanted you to take your
00:17:57camera along.
00:17:58So far, she hasn't allowed anyone to take her picture.
00:18:01Well, then how do you expect me to get one?
00:18:03Oh...
00:18:03Oh, I'd think of a way.
00:18:05Then you don't really need me.
00:18:08Well, reporters always take staff photographers when they're... when they're on important assignments and...
00:18:13Besides, Dad doesn't like the idea of my going into a jail alone.
00:18:16I'll go with you.
00:18:17A jail is no place for children, Mary Nickerson.
00:18:20Oh, let her go.
00:18:20Maybe they'll lock her up.
00:18:21I should say not.
00:18:22Now go on, change your clothes and wear your new hat.
00:18:25All right.
00:18:26I'll get your camera for you, Ted.
00:18:30Hurry now.
00:18:30I want to make the noon edition.
00:18:32And besides, maybe you'll have time to fix my fence.
00:18:36Duked again.
00:18:41No cameras.
00:18:43Well, you see, I...
00:18:44You're the lady of your camera, Ted.
00:18:45Huh?
00:18:46Well, okay.
00:18:49All right.
00:18:49Over there.
00:18:55Well, that's that.
00:18:56You should have known you couldn't get a camera in this place.
00:18:58I did.
00:19:04What was in the case?
00:19:05I took out the camera and put in a block of wood.
00:19:08I think you've done something like this.
00:19:09Now, look.
00:19:10You don't expect me to take a picture in here after what she said.
00:19:13Of course, silly.
00:19:14And if they catch us, we'll stay here.
00:19:16Oh, stop your worry.
00:19:18Put your hat on.
00:19:21What?
00:19:21Inside?
00:19:22Of course.
00:19:22You never saw a real newspaper man without his hat on, did you?
00:19:25Ah, they even eat in them.
00:19:27Oh.
00:19:29No, no.
00:19:29Not like that.
00:19:30That looks awful.
00:19:33For God's sakes, what are you doing?
00:19:35You just gave it to me.
00:19:35No, no, no.
00:19:36Now, let me fix it.
00:19:46Fix it is right.
00:19:50Oh, you ruined it.
00:19:58There.
00:19:59Now you look like a real reporter and not a store window dummy.
00:20:11Yes?
00:20:12Miss Denning?
00:20:13I'm Nancy Drew of the Tribune, and this is Mr. Nickerson, my photographer.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:17A reporter.
00:20:18You seem so young.
00:20:20Ha.
00:20:21I guess I'd better explain.
00:20:22We're not real reporters.
00:20:23I just want to win a prize in journalism, and that's why I wanted an interview.
00:20:27What did you say your name was?
00:20:29Nancy Drew.
00:20:30Are you related to Carson?
00:20:32Carson Drew, the attorney?
00:20:33He's your father.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:36I see.
00:20:37Miss Denning, do you know a man with a funny ear?
00:20:39It's all sort of folded up like.
00:20:42No, I don't.
00:20:43What do you ask?
00:20:44Well, there was one at the inquest, and I was wondering if he was a friend of yours.
00:20:48I don't know who he could be.
00:20:50Miss Denning, I don't think you did anything.
00:20:53That is, I mean, I think you're innocent.
00:20:56If it's all right with you, I'm going to ask my father to come and see you.
00:20:59Oh, if he only would.
00:21:01You see, there's, well, there's so much evidence against me.
00:21:05Why, it's even worse now than it was yesterday.
00:21:08Did they find something else?
00:21:09Police checked with the manufacturers and learned the only sale of sodium Fahrenheit made in this part of the country
00:21:14was to me.
00:21:16Uh-oh.
00:21:16Gee.
00:21:18Well, if you only had that tin can, the one the poison came in.
00:21:22You know, you told about it at the inquest yesterday.
00:21:24It's disappeared.
00:21:25Someone probably stole it.
00:21:26I saw it just beyond the day when I was cleaning out the dark room.
00:21:29I can't understand why they didn't find it.
00:21:32It was...
00:21:33What's the matter?
00:21:35The tin was empty, but I didn't throw it away.
00:21:38I wanted to save it because the manufacturer's address was on it.
00:21:42Gee, think hard.
00:21:44Maybe you can remember what you did with it.
00:21:45I put some empty bottles and things in the basement in an old cupboard.
00:21:51That container must have been with them.
00:21:53Maybe it's still there.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:21:56You just leave it to me.
00:21:57And please don't tell anyone.
00:21:58Oh, I almost forgot.
00:22:00Miss Denning, may we take a picture of you?
00:22:02I don't mind.
00:22:03Hurry up, Ted.
00:22:06Thanks a lot, Miss Denning.
00:22:07And we'll let you know what happens.
00:22:17A little bit to your right.
00:22:18Look sad now.
00:22:19Hold it.
00:22:24Here, what's the big idea?
00:22:26What's going on out here?
00:22:27We're taking the cardinal phone to partner with the porn fabric.
00:22:29Amscra, Amscra.
00:22:30Is the gentleman the prisoner?
00:22:31Ted, I think we'd better be leaving.
00:22:33Here.
00:22:47Well, what if you can get in?
00:22:49It's still illegal.
00:22:50Not for a reporter.
00:22:51A reporter has the right to do things an ordinary person shouldn't.
00:22:54Ah, fool.
00:22:55Now, go ahead and do just exactly as I told you.
00:22:58Okay.
00:22:59But if anything happens, don't blame me.
00:23:08Hello.
00:23:09Well?
00:23:11You don't want to subscribe to any magazines, do you?
00:23:14No.
00:23:15I didn't think you did.
00:23:18Are you watching this place?
00:23:20Yep.
00:23:24Well, I guess you get kind of lonesome around here all by yourself, huh?
00:23:28Sometimes.
00:23:30I'm not very busy right now.
00:23:32If you like, I could play a little game of rummy or something.
00:23:37Say, that's an idea, son.
00:23:39Draw up a chance.
00:23:40Well, that's swell.
00:23:45Look, do you mind if I sit over there?
00:23:47I'm kind of superstitious.
00:23:49Oh, sure.
00:23:50Sure.
00:23:58We ought to have something to shoot at, son.
00:24:01Say, a penny a point.
00:24:03A penny of.
00:24:05Yeah, that'll be fine.
00:24:08I'll keep score for you.
00:24:15なにぃ
00:24:25Don't do that.
00:24:27It puts me off on my game.
00:24:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:46Let's go.
00:25:33What was that noise?
00:25:35What noise?
00:25:37I'd better investigate.
00:25:38Well, you would just hear it, please.
00:25:45Maybe so.
00:26:01Ed!
00:26:03Your mother wants you to come home right away.
00:26:05Oh, hello. Glad to see you again.
00:26:09Well, I guess I'll have to be gone.
00:26:12How do we stand?
00:26:13I'll figure it out.
00:26:21You got me in a fine mess.
00:26:23I lost my whole week's allowance to that rummy shark.
00:26:25Well, it was worth it.
00:26:26I found the tin can.
00:26:28Yeah?
00:26:28Uh-huh.
00:26:29And Ted, that man with a funny ear was there.
00:26:31He chased me out of the basement.
00:26:33Gosh, Nancy.
00:26:34We took an awful chance.
00:26:37Maybe we shouldn't have done it.
00:26:38We'd better get this tin right down to the police station and see if Captain Tweedy can find any fingerprints
00:26:42on it.
00:26:43I can't wait.
00:26:45I can't wait.
00:27:04I can't wait.
00:27:13You don't need me. You can tell me about it later. Goodbye.
00:27:16Where are you?
00:27:42Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
00:28:03Captain Tweedy, of all people, it would have to be you!
00:28:13Well, why are you staring now? Come on, get away. Break it up.
00:28:22Hi, Dad.
00:28:23Hello, Pat.
00:28:24Gee, I'm glad you're home.
00:28:25You are. What are you doing up so late? You get back to sleep.
00:28:30Good night.
00:28:31Oh, but Dad, I can't go to sleep.
00:28:34What's the matter?
00:28:35Nothing.
00:28:37No? Come on in. Tell me all about it.
00:28:44Now.
00:28:45Dad, you've always taught me to do right, haven't you?
00:28:48I've tried to, Nancy.
00:28:50Dad, if I believed in something I knew was right, I should always live up to it.
00:28:55More than that. Don't back down an inch.
00:28:58Supposing you made a promise that you knew was right, I bet you you'd keep it.
00:29:02Certainly. A person who fails to live up to his promise is a weakness.
00:29:07And you'd never want me to break a promise, would you?
00:29:09Of course not, Nancy.
00:29:11If you make a promise in good faith, I'd expect you to live up to it, no matter what it
00:29:16cost you.
00:29:17And you'd help me live up to it?
00:29:18Certainly. What kind of a father do you think I am?
00:29:21Well, then, you're going to defend Eula Denning because I promised her you would.
00:29:25What?
00:29:26Now, Dad, you just said you'd help me keep a promise.
00:29:29Nancy, you tricked me into this. You're always doing that to me. Now, I won't have...
00:29:34Well, all right. If you can give me any reason to believe that Eula Denning is innocent, I'll take her
00:29:40case.
00:29:41Oh, Dad! I knew you would!
00:29:44Well, Ted and I went out to that Lambert house this afternoon.
00:29:47I sneaked in and found that tin of sodium Fahrenheit, the one that Miss Denning claims could have had fingerprints
00:29:51on it.
00:29:51You two went out there alone?
00:29:52Uh-huh. And I know it was important evidence because that man with the funny ear chased me out of
00:29:56the basement.
00:29:57Dad, that's not the worst of it. When I was taking that tint out of the police, a woman stole
00:30:02it from me.
00:30:03So that proves other people are mixed up in it.
00:30:05You should have gone to the police in the first place.
00:30:07Oh, I know it. Everything's gone wrong. I've failed all around. Maybe I'm just not intelligent.
00:30:12That's right.
00:30:14Dad!
00:30:15Oh, I mean, darling, everybody makes mistakes.
00:30:21Don't you see, Dad? If this Denning's convicted, it'll be my fault.
00:30:24Because I was foolish and lost the only evidence that could maybe save her. I'm responsible.
00:30:29Well, don't worry, Nancy. I'll see you at Denning the first thing in the morning.
00:30:33Oh, Dad! Honestly, I feel ten years younger.
00:30:36Don't be too enthusiastic. So far, there isn't a stick of evidence we could take into court.
00:30:41There will be if you can get hold of that man with a funny ear.
00:30:43You think you'd know him again if you saw him?
00:30:45With that ear? I'll say. It looked like one of Effie's popovers.
00:30:48Oh, cauliflower ear.
00:30:50What?
00:30:50I thought of cauliflower a little less.
00:30:52What did you say?
00:30:53I can't understand you, Nancy.
00:30:54Well, how can you expect them splashing around like a seal after a fish?
00:30:59That's no way to talk to your father.
00:31:00Oh, Denning's docking!
00:31:02Oh, why don't you take them out of here?
00:31:03Here, here's a towel.
00:31:05Oh, dear. Now I'll have to start all over again.
00:31:07I said that that man's ear looked like one of Effie's popovers.
00:31:11I said it was probably a cauliflower ear.
00:31:13Oh.
00:31:14That might indicate that he was a boxer or a wrestler.
00:31:16Really?
00:31:17But what connection such a man could have with this case is more than I can see.
00:31:21Dad, I felt all along that that man with a funny ear was a clue.
00:31:24I think you ought to do something about him.
00:31:26I'm going to do something about a girl with a funny face.
00:31:29Come on, baby. You're going to bed.
00:31:30Oh, Dad, don't be down. I'm no baby.
00:31:32You'll always be your daddy's baby.
00:31:33I won't be anybody's baby.
00:31:36Everybody loves a baby. That's why I'm in love with you.
00:31:39Pretty baby, baby.
00:31:41Oh, Dad.
00:31:42Pretty baby.
00:31:43Dad, don't be so silly.
00:31:47Good night, baby.
00:31:49Good night, baby.
00:31:51Good night, baby.
00:31:52I'm going to leave you now.
00:31:54Oh, Dad.
00:31:55We've got to talk this thing over.
00:31:57In the morning, the morning.
00:31:59The bright and early morning.
00:32:12Hello. I'm Nancy Drew.
00:32:14Charm, I'm sure. Draw up a chair.
00:32:18No, thank you. I've been standing all day.
00:32:21Do you keep pictures of all kinds of prize photos and people like that?
00:32:23You should meet some of my wife's folks.
00:32:26But you came to the right place, sister.
00:32:27I know them all personally.
00:32:29What's your guy look like?
00:32:30Oh, you'll know him in a minute.
00:32:32He has a cauliflower ear.
00:32:44Here.
00:32:45If you recognize him, let me know.
00:32:56Here.
00:32:58Here.
00:33:15Ted.
00:33:16Hi, Ted.
00:33:17What do you want?
00:33:18Well, don't make me yell.
00:33:19Come here.
00:33:21Excuse me a second, Helen.
00:33:29How did you find me here?
00:33:30Hello, Ted.
00:33:31Oh, I get it.
00:33:33Where would one expect to find you these days?
00:33:35Ted's got a girlfriend.
00:33:37Ted's got a girlfriend.
00:33:39Quiet, small fry.
00:33:39She's not so pretty.
00:33:40I bet Ted thinks so.
00:33:42Look, what's on your money?
00:33:43Look at this clipping I found.
00:33:45Here, let me see.
00:33:48Soxianthins.
00:33:48Who's that?
00:33:49He's the man I saw at the Lambert place.
00:33:51He used to be a boxer.
00:33:52And right now, I'm not sure.
00:33:52He's at Maxie's gymnasium on First Street.
00:33:54How do you know?
00:33:55Yeah, how do you know?
00:33:56Well, I just asked myself where I'd go if I were a prizefighter
00:33:59and decided it would be to a gymnasium.
00:34:01So I called up all the places in town
00:34:02and pretended I was Mr. Anson's girlfriend.
00:34:04Pretty soon I found out he was at Maxie's.
00:34:06Then I hung up.
00:34:07Yeah.
00:34:08Well, it was nice of you to tell me about it.
00:34:10I...
00:34:11I gotta get back.
00:34:12Goodbye, Ted.
00:34:13Certainly.
00:34:14I don't want to keep you.
00:34:15I just thought I'd let you know where I'll be in case Dad asks you.
00:34:17You're not going down to that gym alone.
00:34:19Of course I am.
00:34:20Something has to be done about Soxie right away.
00:34:22He's important evidence.
00:34:23So you came over here to tell me about it,
00:34:25so I'll get in a jam with your father for letting you go there.
00:34:27I did no such thing.
00:34:29You're not responsible for me.
00:34:30We'll go with you, Nancy.
00:34:31We did slump fights, don't we, killer?
00:34:33I hope to kiss a polecat.
00:34:35You two will not go.
00:34:36Why not?
00:34:37Why?
00:34:37Never mind.
00:34:38Oh, darn it, Nancy.
00:34:39Now you got me worried.
00:34:40Maybe I'd better go alone.
00:34:41Oh, I don't think you ought to, Ted.
00:34:43It's a pretty tough place.
00:34:44I can take care of myself and you too.
00:34:46Well, if you insist...
00:34:48Here.
00:34:49What's this?
00:34:50Your costume.
00:34:51You'll pose as another boxer by the name of One Round Lugan.
00:34:54Gain Soxie's confidence and who knows, maybe he'll incriminate himself.
00:34:57Say, you had this all figured out, didn't you?
00:34:59Why, Ted Nickerson, I did not.
00:35:25What's this?
00:35:26What's this?
00:35:27And then the old lady's girlfriend.
00:35:31This is an awful joint.
00:35:33Ted, there he is.
00:35:37Ted, I'm positive that woman that stole the tin can from me yesterday is Soxie's girlfriend.
00:35:41Now all you have to do is get him to tell you her name and where she lives.
00:35:44Maybe you'd like to know if she's got any bridge work.
00:35:47How'll that help?
00:35:48Do you remember?
00:35:49Captain Tweedy always said, Cherchez la fin, find the woman.
00:35:52Very smart thing he ever did say.
00:35:53Yeah, and he stole that.
00:35:55But it's true.
00:35:56You can always get information from women.
00:35:57They just love to talk.
00:35:59Yeah, I've noticed that.
00:36:01Go ahead now.
00:36:01I'll wait out here for you.
00:36:05Gosh, he doesn't look very friendly, does he?
00:36:08Remember your one-round lugers.
00:36:16Wait a minute.
00:36:18What's the name?
00:36:19One-round luger.
00:36:20Oh, a champion look so long as you've been on.
00:36:28Hiya, champ.
00:36:30Hiya, new champ.
00:36:31You sure train like one.
00:36:34I'm kind of new around this bird.
00:36:36I've been putting the boys on a can with something, Frisco.
00:36:39Yeah?
00:36:40That'll be enough of that.
00:36:42Say, didn't I see you at a nice-looking dame the other night?
00:36:44What's your name?
00:36:45Oh, one-round luger.
00:36:46I'll bet that baby...
00:36:47One-round luger.
00:36:48Never heard of you.
00:36:49Well, I ain't very well known around here yet.
00:36:53How about spot a few rounds?
00:36:54That'll get you some attention.
00:36:56Oh, I ain't gonna do any training today.
00:37:00You're a fattier in training all the time.
00:37:03Well, I didn't bring my clothes.
00:37:05It's all right.
00:37:06I'll get you some.
00:37:07Hey, Jake.
00:37:08Yeah?
00:37:09If you can't prepare, it crumbs.
00:37:11He's gonna show me how they do things out in Frisco.
00:37:13Oh, sure.
00:37:13Well, come on.
00:37:14But I'd really rather not.
00:37:16Come on.
00:37:35I'll have some gum, please.
00:38:06Get rid of me.
00:38:08Come here.
00:38:09Yeah, it's all right.
00:38:10Come here all the time, Jane.
00:38:14Good morning, Jane.
00:38:15Good morning, Jane.
00:38:16I want you to call her right away.
00:38:17Okay.
00:38:45Come on.
00:38:46Come on.
00:38:47No, no.
00:38:48Not there.
00:38:49Come on.
00:38:49Through here.
00:38:50Hey!
00:38:51Get in there, will you?
00:38:52In you go.
00:38:55All right, Soxie.
00:38:57Warm up a little bit.
00:38:58A little.
00:38:59That's it.
00:39:05Ha-ha.
00:39:06No dames.
00:39:07Oh, but I've got to go in there.
00:39:09I'm...
00:39:09I'm his manager.
00:39:10His manager?
00:39:14Well...
00:39:14Ted, what are you doing?
00:39:16Oh, gee, Nancy.
00:39:17I'm an awful mess.
00:39:19Well, I just learned something that might be an important clue.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:21I want to go.
00:39:22So do I.
00:39:23But I can't.
00:39:24I've got to fight him.
00:39:26Fight him?
00:39:28Oh, Ted, you mustn't.
00:39:30I'll get mobbed or something if I don't.
00:39:32Oh, dear.
00:39:34Oh, look.
00:39:35Maybe he's out of condition.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:37Like an ox.
00:39:39Okay, one round.
00:39:40Let's go.
00:39:41Ready, Jake?
00:39:41All set.
00:39:42All set.
00:39:45Well, good-bye, Nancy.
00:39:49Now, folks, we're going to have a little excitement.
00:39:51Three-round boxing exhibition between Soxie Anthony's of Chicago, who we all know.
00:40:01And one round Lugan, the Frisco Flash.
00:40:06All right, boys.
00:40:06Go to your corners and come out fighting.
00:40:10Why, one round.
00:40:11Your glove's untied.
00:40:12Here.
00:40:12Let me fix it for you.
00:40:13Hmm?
00:40:19Nancy, you're a genius.
00:40:23Now, if I can only tag him.
00:40:27Come on, Lugan.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30Come on.
00:40:30Give him again, Ted.
00:40:32Oh, I mean Lugan.
00:40:33Oh!
00:40:33Come on, Soxie.
00:40:35Come on.
00:40:36Come on.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:38He's back.
00:40:38Tag him on a whisker, Soxie.
00:40:41Ah, didn't he got no whisker yet?
00:40:43He had two.
00:40:46Whoa.
00:40:48Whoa!
00:40:49Whoa!
00:40:50Whoa!
00:40:50Whoa!
00:40:50Whoa!
00:40:51Whoa!
00:40:52Whoa!
00:40:54Whoa!
00:41:04Why?
00:41:06Ted.
00:41:07Ted again.
00:41:08Ted again.
00:41:09Ted again.
00:41:10Come on.
00:41:10Come on.
00:41:11Come on.
00:41:12Ted.
00:41:14Ted.
00:41:18Ted.
00:41:21Ted.
00:41:22Ted.
00:41:23Ted.
00:41:24Ted, speak to me.
00:41:26Speak to me.
00:41:27Ted, what happened?
00:41:29That's what I was just about to ask you.
00:41:34Try 352449.
00:41:38Gee, I wonder what they're doing.
00:41:40I don't know what they are.
00:41:41Maybe they're both insane.
00:41:44Hello.
00:41:45This is Soxy Anthins.
00:41:47Is my girlfriend there?
00:41:52No soap.
00:41:54Dear, there's only one more we can call.
00:41:57And that just has to be it.
00:41:58If you got the rest of them right.
00:42:00Oh, I'm sure I have.
00:42:02Look at me, I'm ruined.
00:42:06I won't even dare show up for my tennis lessons now.
00:42:09Tennis lessons?
00:42:10Ted, is that girl you've been playing with a tennis teacher?
00:42:13Sure, it's Helen Winfield, a champ.
00:42:16Those lessons cost me 150 a copy.
00:42:18Tennis teacher?
00:42:19Oh, that's wonderful.
00:42:21I mean, I'm sorry about your lessons, but...
00:42:23Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:42:25Nothing, nothing.
00:42:26Now try that other number, 352440.
00:42:29Maybe you ought to be psychoanalyzed.
00:42:32Oh, I'm going home and get me a cookie.
00:42:35Get me one, too.
00:42:36I'm gonna stay here and find out what it's all about.
00:42:38Okay, pal.
00:42:46Room clerk, Beldenburg Hotel.
00:42:47This is Mr. Socksy Anthons.
00:42:50I...
00:42:51I'm calling my girlfriend.
00:42:52Well, she isn't here just now, Mr. Anthons.
00:42:55It's the place.
00:42:56How'll I get her name?
00:42:57He's strategic.
00:42:58Yeah, yeah.
00:43:00Uh, do you know where Miss Fultz went?
00:43:03No, I don't, but I'll see if she left a message in your box.
00:43:06Socksy lives there, too.
00:43:08Really?
00:43:10No, there's no message, Mr. Anthons.
00:43:12Shall I tell her you called?
00:43:14Just a moment.
00:43:15Well, Joe, did Miss Lucas take your cab?
00:43:18Yes, why?
00:43:19Her name's Lucas.
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:22She went to the Mandarin Cafe, Mr. Anthons.
00:43:24Mandarin?
00:43:25Thank you very...
00:43:25Uh, thank you very much.
00:43:28Mandarin Cafe.
00:43:38Do you want any money?
00:43:40Well, not to brag about it.
00:43:42Neither have I.
00:43:43Don't eat too much.
00:43:46Oh, boy!
00:43:47A Chinese place!
00:43:49Mary Nickerson.
00:43:50We just love Chinese places, don't we, killer?
00:43:52Yeah.
00:43:52Oh, for God's sake, where did you hoodlums come from?
00:43:55Thought you'd get away from us, didn't you?
00:43:57Yeah!
00:43:58You're going home.
00:43:59We are not.
00:44:00We might get lost.
00:44:01We're going with you.
00:44:02Over my dead body.
00:44:03Mine, too.
00:44:05Well, I guess I'll just have to call up Nancy's father, then.
00:44:09Oh, all right, all right.
00:44:10I suppose we'll have to do it.
00:44:12But on one condition, when the waiter takes your order, you say,
00:44:15I'm not hungry.
00:44:16But I am!
00:44:17How about you, killer?
00:44:18I'm stuck!
00:44:19We haven't enough money.
00:44:20Are you going to cooperate with us or not?
00:44:22How about a killer?
00:44:24Sure, we'll play ball.
00:44:25Okay, let's go.
00:44:26Wait a minute.
00:44:27Let's just try this once.
00:44:28Now, I'm the waiter.
00:44:30What'll you have, Tess?
00:44:32Tess!
00:44:33No, no.
00:44:34Look, we're broke.
00:44:36We can't buy you any food.
00:44:38And would you settle for a glass of milk?
00:44:40Well, we might go that far.
00:44:42Okay, it's a deal.
00:44:43I'll...
00:44:45Ted, why do you have to have a sister?
00:44:48Ask Ma.
00:44:57Oh, I'm afraid this is a little too close to the orchestra.
00:45:08This will be fine.
00:45:10Thank you very much.
00:45:12Ted, did you see?
00:45:14She's right in the next booth.
00:45:15With Miles Lambert.
00:45:16She is?
00:45:17Come on.
00:45:18Something's funny.
00:45:20I'm positive at Soxie's girl.
00:45:22And yet she's stepping out with Mr. Lambert.
00:45:24Do you suppose Soxie knows Lambert?
00:45:26All right.
00:45:28Let me out.
00:45:29What for?
00:45:29Never mind.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33Never mind that.
00:45:38Come on.
00:45:45Max's gym.
00:45:46Soxie!
00:45:53Hello?
00:45:54Mr. Anson's, this is a friend.
00:45:57Would you be interested in knowing that Miss Lucas is dining with Miles Lambert at the Mandarin Café?
00:46:03Who's talking?
00:46:20What'd you call?
00:46:21I phoned Soxie about Lambert and Miss Lucas.
00:46:23And was he mad?
00:46:25Suffering cats.
00:46:26We may learn something important.
00:46:28Because when he gets here, something's sure to happen.
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:31Probably a tall one.
00:46:34What do you order, please?
00:46:35Oh.
00:46:36I'll have some egg full young.
00:46:38And you?
00:46:39Uh.
00:46:40Just tea.
00:46:41And you too, please?
00:46:46Glass of milk.
00:46:49And chopped sewage.
00:46:51Yes.
00:46:52Yes.
00:46:52Yes.
00:47:06Ted, look.
00:47:23Soxie.
00:47:23You cheap little.
00:47:25Take it easy, Soxie.
00:47:26Sit down.
00:47:27You've been planning to run out on me ever since you found out Lambert is moving in on that old
00:47:31lady's dough.
00:47:32Shut up, Soxie.
00:47:33As for you, wise guy, if you want this damage, it's yours.
00:47:36But the minute you'll hurt, try or break, you're gonna get a surprise.
00:47:40I've still got the tin can with fingerprints on it.
00:47:43I don't know what to do with it.
00:47:45Why, you!
00:47:48Stop me!
00:47:49Stop me!
00:47:49Stop me!
00:47:50Hey!
00:47:50Hey!
00:47:52Hey!
00:47:52Hey!
00:47:53Hey!
00:47:53Hey!
00:47:54Hey!
00:47:55Hey!
00:47:55Don't call it, please.
00:47:56No, no.
00:47:57Don't do that.
00:47:58Lie, go back.
00:47:59We don't want any publicity.
00:48:02Come on, darling.
00:48:05We're the other man.
00:48:06Get the checks.
00:48:07I gotta call them.
00:48:08Sure.
00:48:17Yes?
00:48:18Your daughter's on the phone, Mr. Drew.
00:48:21Hello, Nancy.
00:48:22Dad, what happens if the Lambert estate of Hewler-Benning is convicted?
00:48:25It goes to Miss Lambert's nearest relative, Miles Lambert.
00:48:28Why do you ask?
00:48:29Oh, I was just wondering.
00:48:30Thanks, Deb.
00:48:35Come on, Ted.
00:48:36Hurry up.
00:48:36Give me some dough.
00:48:37I'm short.
00:48:40That's all I have.
00:48:42Sixty-five cents more, please.
00:48:44Look, mister, that's all we got.
00:48:47Maybe you'll trust us, huh?
00:48:49Oh, sure, sure.
00:48:50You nice people.
00:48:51I trust you.
00:48:52Oh, thank you very much.
00:48:53Come on, Ted.
00:48:54We've got to hurry.
00:48:54Sixty-five cents.
00:48:56But you just said you'd trust us.
00:48:58You see, mister, we've got to go home and get the money from our folks.
00:49:02But we'll come back.
00:49:03Sixty-five cents.
00:49:06Now look what you got us into.
00:49:08We don't know nothing about it, do we, killer?
00:49:10No, they invited us.
00:49:14Look, mister, we haven't got sixty-five cents.
00:49:17Cut check.
00:49:18No sixty-five cents?
00:49:20Yeah, that's right.
00:49:21We have a bro, of course.
00:49:24I'm a virgin.
00:49:25Hey, I'm a virgin, my uncle.
00:49:25This is our boy.
00:49:25This is our boy.
00:49:26This is our boy.
00:49:27I'm a virgin.
00:49:30I'm a virgin.
00:49:32You wash dishes all day, maybe two, three day.
00:49:37Hey, hey, where did you go?
00:49:38Kitchen that way.
00:49:39Now look.
00:49:41Oh, you can't...
00:49:42Oh, I don't want to wash dishes.
00:49:44I'm awful tired, but I can supervise.
00:49:47You're going to wash dishes, both of you.
00:49:49And it'll serve your right, too.
00:49:50Look, Mr. Maybe she could entertain.
00:49:52Entertain?
00:49:53Yeah, she's a famous singer.
00:49:55I thought you was my pal.
00:49:56What are you trying to do?
00:49:58You must be winning.
00:49:59I'm not sure she's sung all over the world.
00:50:01All right.
00:50:03You sing nice American song.
00:50:05No good, wash it, dish it.
00:50:06Come on, quick.
00:50:10Well, they sing anything.
00:50:12Little Bo Peep.
00:50:14Oh, dear.
00:50:17We'll be in for life after this.
00:50:19Yeah.
00:50:20Hey, mister, can't you help her out?
00:50:25Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep.
00:50:30But she knows just where to find them.
00:50:35For they'll stand around the van,
00:50:40Wagging their tails behind them.
00:50:45Hi, diddle, diddle.
00:50:46The cat has fit.
00:50:47The cow is beginning to croon.
00:50:50Oh, little dog laughs, laughs, laughs.
00:50:52Because they're never in tune.
00:50:55Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.
00:51:00Mary had a little lamb.
00:51:02He said, I'll see you later.
00:51:04He went off to hear them jam, hear them jam, hear them jam.
00:51:10Mary had a little lamb.
00:51:12Now, he's an alligator.
00:51:14Oaks, peas, beans, and barley grow.
00:51:17Oaks, peas, beans, and barley grow.
00:51:19So can you, or I, or anyone know how Oaks, peas, beans, and barley grow?
00:51:24Grab yourself a partner.
00:51:26Grab yourself a partner.
00:51:29Open the ring and choose one in while we all gaily laugh and sing.
00:51:34Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
00:51:36How I wonder what you are.
00:51:39Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
00:51:44Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
00:52:03Rock a bye, baby, in the treetop.
00:52:08When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
00:52:12When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall.
00:52:17And down will come, baby, cradle and all.
00:52:25Rock it, my baby.
00:52:34We all love music, so don't you count and rock it, my baby.
00:52:42Rock my baby.
00:52:44Rock my baby.
00:52:46Rock my baby.
00:52:47Rock it, my baby.
00:52:49Rock it, my baby.
00:52:50De, de, de, de, de, de.
00:52:51Rock it on, dance.
00:52:58Ah, Miss Drew.
00:52:59We're all present.
00:53:01Now, here's the $50 and the medal.
00:53:03And now, if Mr. Bostwick has chosen the best new story submitted by our charming con...
00:53:09Give the prize to this one.
00:53:10About the humane worker who invented a nutcracker for toothless squirrel.
00:53:15That's me.
00:53:16I won.
00:53:17I won.
00:53:18It is with great pleasure.
00:53:19Unless Miss Drew has a better story.
00:53:21Oh, I have a story, Mr. Bostwick, but it's very confidential.
00:53:25You see, my father...
00:53:31Well, what is it?
00:53:35Fact is, Mr. Bostwick, some strange man called my father and said he had the missing tin of sodium faranine
00:53:41with fingerprints on it that would prove Eula Denning is innocent.
00:53:46It would show up the real murderer of Kate Lambert.
00:53:48Is this true?
00:53:50Why, Mr. Bostwick, you know my father's reputation, and I wouldn't tell a lie.
00:53:56Go on.
00:53:56Go on.
00:53:58Furthermore, the man is bringing the tin to my father's office this evening.
00:54:03Terrific.
00:54:05Hey, Charlie, stop the presses.
00:54:07You're wonderful, Miss Drew.
00:54:08Paul Page won for replay.
00:54:09Had a story yet?
00:54:10Hey, rewrite.
00:54:12Don't stand there like a halfwit.
00:54:13Give her the money.
00:54:14She won.
00:54:15Congratulations.
00:54:16And now, Miss Drew.
00:54:17I take great pleasure in passing.
00:54:19I'm presenting you the cheque and the medal.
00:54:22Oh, well, let's give the cheque to the others and I'll just take the medal.
00:54:26Come on, Ted.
00:54:26We're in a hurry.
00:54:42Remarkable.
00:54:43Remarkable.
00:54:44Remarkable.
00:54:44Isn't it a waffler?
00:54:45So, Soxy Anthony's gonna spill the beans, eh?
00:54:48Well, well.
00:54:50You don't understand, Sergeant Entrysel.
00:54:51Well, that story isn't true.
00:54:53Must be true. It's printed in the paper.
00:54:55Nancy just made it up.
00:54:56But they printed for it isn't true.
00:54:58That's the trouble with the newspapers these days.
00:55:00Well, it wasn't their fault.
00:55:01I made the editor to think the story was on the level.
00:55:04Why?
00:55:05Oh, dear.
00:55:07Sergeant Entressel, are you sure Captain Tweedy won't be back?
00:55:09Sure, I'm sure.
00:55:10He's in Chicago on a radio interview on how to avoid crime.
00:55:13He's done it all right.
00:55:15Just the same. I'll bet he'd understand.
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:17What's Captain Tweedy got that I haven't got?
00:55:19Well, for one thing...
00:55:22Look, Sergeant, I put that story in the paper
00:55:25so the police could trap the real murderer of Kate Lambert.
00:55:27Well, that's different. How?
00:55:29Don't you see?
00:55:30That paper will be on the street any minute.
00:55:32And if Lambert is really the murderer,
00:55:34he'll go to Soxie's room after that tin can the minute he reads the story.
00:55:37He'll think Soxie's going to double-cross him or something.
00:55:40Miss Drew, I'm sort of influenced to think you've got something.
00:55:42Of course I have.
00:55:43Now, all you have to do is be at Soxie's place when Lambert arrives
00:55:46and arrest them both with the evidence.
00:55:48Where's this guy Soxie live?
00:55:49Room 815 Beldenburg Hotel.
00:55:51We'll go along and help you identify them.
00:55:53No, you kids can't come along.
00:55:54Oh, but I've got to go along.
00:55:55I want to get an eyewitness news story about how you handle the case.
00:55:57When they read what I write, you'll probably be promoted.
00:56:00Yeah? I'll see what you mean.
00:56:02All right, you kids got to promise to keep out of trouble.
00:56:04Oh, sure. We promise.
00:56:06This is Sergeant Entwistle.
00:56:08Sent up a couple of squad cars.
00:56:10Oh, no. You mustn't do that.
00:56:11If those men see police around, they'll run away.
00:56:14Or at least get rid of that tin.
00:56:15Yes, I'll see what you mean.
00:56:17All right, I'll go along.
00:56:18Capture them a single hand.
00:56:19That'll be much better.
00:56:20But if they even see you, then...
00:56:22Oh, don't worry about that.
00:56:23They'll never know me.
00:56:24I'll wear that disguise I wore on the Cullen case.
00:56:26Here it is, Sergeant.
00:56:28Oh, thanks.
00:56:41Oh, careful.
00:56:44Grandma's medicine.
00:56:45Clumsy.
00:56:47Good evening, young man.
00:56:48Good evening, madam.
00:56:49Will you register, Arthur?
00:56:50Huh?
00:56:51Oh, sure.
00:56:52Grandma?
00:56:53Grandma would like the same room she had the last time she was here.
00:56:56What was it, Grandma?
00:56:57Why, let's see.
00:56:58My memory ain't what it used to be.
00:57:01Was it 8.15?
00:57:03Well, 8.15 is occupied, Mrs. Plopper, but I can give you the one right next to it.
00:57:08Oh, that would be wonderful.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:09That'll have to do.
00:57:11You see, I have to be up high on the count of my asthma.
00:57:13I see.
00:57:15Show Mrs. Plopper to 8.17.
00:57:17Come, children.
00:57:20How don't they make these doors bigger?
00:57:22Careful, Arthur.
00:57:23Yes, ma'am.
00:57:40There you go, madam.
00:57:42No, thanks.
00:57:43Here you are.
00:57:49Get those bags open.
00:57:51Did I tell you about my disguise?
00:57:54About here, Sergeant.
00:57:55Okay.
00:57:56Did I fool?
00:57:57Did I fool?
00:58:00Anything happens, I'll give you the signal.
00:58:01Right.
00:58:07Let's go.
00:58:12Go ahead.
00:58:14Let's go.
00:58:16Let's go.
00:58:16Have fun.
00:58:23Let's go.
00:58:26Let's go.
00:58:27Oh, there we go, sir.
00:58:30That's it, Sergeant.
00:58:30Come on.
00:58:31All right.
00:58:31He's got my business out.
00:58:32You got your business out in the next time.
00:58:32You were the best and you are back.
00:58:43Let me do that, will you, Nancy?
00:58:44Yeah.
00:58:52This one goes on the wall.
00:59:01Pull that wire through, will you, Nancy?
00:59:02Sure.
00:59:07Here.
00:59:08Okay.
00:59:10I don't like this business, Nancy.
00:59:12It gives me the wham-whams.
00:59:13I know, me too.
00:59:17I'll sit here.
00:59:19If you don't hear me, let me know.
00:59:20I can hear them.
00:59:22Yeah?
00:59:32Here.
00:59:37Yeah.
01:00:01Oh, come on.
01:00:02Oh, why? I'm so sorry.
01:00:06Why? I guess I must be in the wrong room.
01:00:14What's your name?
01:00:15Mrs. Plumford.
01:00:18Help! Help!
01:00:20Get away and send them off!
01:00:23Oh, do something!
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34Drop that phone.
01:00:36We weren't doing anything. Honestly, we weren't.
01:00:38No, no. We were merely trying...
01:00:40Shut up. Come on. Get up, you.
01:00:48All right. Get out of here.
01:00:56Come on.
01:01:00Upstairs.
01:01:01All right. Hurry it up.
01:01:07Oh!
01:01:08Come on.
01:01:18Mister, what are you gonna do to us?
01:01:25All right. In here.
01:01:41I wonder what they did to Sergeant Entwistle.
01:01:44Gosh, I don't know.
01:01:50Phew.
01:01:54We've got to get out.
01:01:55Yeah, I know.
01:01:59Oh, it's no use, Nancy.
01:02:01Well, let's yell.
01:02:02Yeah, pick up.
01:02:04Help!
01:02:06Help!
01:02:07Help!
01:02:08See, I hopefully got machine guns in this picture.
01:02:11So do I.
01:02:12Say.
01:02:13Look.
01:02:18Nancy's car!
01:02:20This took the air out of the tires.
01:02:22We ought to do something.
01:02:23Say.
01:02:24I just remembered.
01:02:33Hey, those are mine.
01:02:38Let's put them all on.
01:02:40Oh, boy.
01:02:42Oh, somebody!
01:02:45There's not a chance, Nancy.
01:02:47Not a chance.
01:02:48With hundreds of people right under our seat, there must be some way out.
01:02:53What's that?
01:02:54Oh, it's just a fuse box.
01:02:57Say.
01:02:58Those are the fuses to the electric side.
01:03:01If we turn that off, we'd get some attention.
01:03:03Well, they wouldn't notice it for hours, baby.
01:03:05By that time, it'll be too late.
01:03:07Belleville.
01:03:10Wait a minute.
01:03:11I've got an idea.
01:03:24There.
01:03:25That ought to create a sensation.
01:03:27And this'll help.
01:03:35Look.
01:03:42Look.
01:03:53Get the engineer to fix it right away.
01:04:00Get the engineer to fix it right now.
01:04:02Take it.
01:04:07Come on.
01:04:08Come on.
01:04:08That's all right.
01:04:09That's all right.
01:04:10That's all right.
01:04:10That's all right.
01:04:11Oh, man.
01:04:12That's all right.
01:04:13That's all right.
01:04:14That's all right.
01:04:15I'm gonna have to say how to fix it.
01:04:21Somebody's coming.
01:04:23Hurry up!
01:04:24Oh, mister.
01:04:28Downstairs, a criminal.
01:04:29We've got to catch him.
01:04:30Follow me.
01:04:42I thought you were going to double-cross me.
01:04:45Get the police, quick.
01:04:47All right.
01:04:49Give me that.
01:04:55That'll hold him.
01:05:00Ted, hurry up.
01:05:01Right.
01:05:06You're a punchy, Lambert.
01:05:07That story in the paper was a phony.
01:05:09Yeah?
01:05:10But you're still hanging out of that tin can, aren't you?
01:05:12Sure.
01:05:12In case I have to prove you killed the old dame.
01:05:14I don't trust you.
01:05:15You'll get your dough as soon as they convict you ladenny.
01:05:18If I were going to double-cross you, you don't think I'd tie up the law here, do you?
01:05:22Where'd he come from?
01:05:23He was looking for that tin can.
01:05:25Say, this is a friend.
01:05:42They're getting away.
01:05:48Look!
01:05:50Look out!
01:05:51Look!
01:05:53Look!
01:05:54Look!
01:05:54Look!
01:05:56Look!
01:06:01Come on, let's try this.
01:06:16I'm getting away in my daughter's car.
01:06:27Hey! Hey!
01:06:29Hey!
01:06:31Hey!
01:06:32Hey!
01:06:35After the man!
01:07:03Nancy, get out of that car!
01:07:06Stop, you idiot!
01:07:07That's the door, I'm safe!
01:07:13Now, what's this all about?
01:07:16That's him!
01:07:17That's the man that poisoned the Lambert woman!
01:07:19And here's the proof!
01:07:20Hi, Dad!
01:07:21Nancy, how many times have I told you not...
01:07:23Sergeant, how dare you allow my daughter...
01:07:31Calling car 21.
01:07:33Calling car 21.
01:07:35Proceed to Gem movie theater.
01:07:37Apprehend two kids, boy and girl about 13.
01:07:40Didn't light picture.
01:07:42Set off whistle bomb.
01:07:43That is all.
01:07:55As soon as you own her behind me,
01:07:56I cannot refuse to go out and create my mind...
01:07:57Remember the Jack-ee-laser episode after all you also see this,
01:07:57Maybe the Jack-ee-laser episode after training,
01:07:57or maybe the Jack-ee-laser episode after all the Radio Banking are up.
01:07:57Like only a few years ago,
01:07:58Don't try to steal them right boys and get away branches.
