00:00:00The End
00:01:21You see, Algie, emptied in Coney Island on Christmas.
00:01:24It's been this way for the last couple of weeks.
00:01:25Well, you can't blame the boys, Knuckles.
00:01:27After all, it's much too hot to work out in the gym.
00:01:29Yeah, I know.
00:01:31If I could only think of some way to get them off the streets,
00:01:34they're bound to get into some kind of a jam.
00:01:36Why don't you talk to the boys themselves?
00:01:38I have.
00:01:38They've been to Windermark.
00:01:40Now the sponsor's got the idea that I'm boring worry.
00:01:43But I ain't.
00:01:45Algie, I grew up on these streets.
00:01:47They almost got me the chair.
00:01:50And my gang wasn't any worse than Dandy's.
00:01:52Well, where is the gang this morning?
00:02:22Search me.
00:02:23How about the reservoir?
00:02:24Nobody would see us up there.
00:02:26Nobody but a hunk of brass button guards they got.
00:02:28Hey, lay up with your screw nose.
00:02:30Make me hotter with that cooling system.
00:02:33How about the ice house?
00:02:34They run us out of there yesterday, remember?
00:02:37Hey, why can't we dig up someplace with a shower?
00:02:39That'll be something.
00:02:40I got it.
00:02:42A fire plug.
00:02:43Ah, the cops would grab us, sure.
00:02:45How do you mean?
00:02:45I seen a fireman turning one on Delancey Street just the other morning.
00:02:48That's different.
00:02:49They're legal.
00:02:49Yeah, we'd only turn it on for a few minutes.
00:02:51Yeah, just long enough to get cold.
00:02:53Man, I just loves waiting.
00:02:55Yeah, let's do it.
00:02:57Well, if you guys know one that ain't right out in front of a police station.
00:03:01There's one right down on Vasey Street.
00:03:03There ain't no police station there, neither.
00:03:04Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:10All right, come on, come on.
00:03:11Get some noise.
00:03:15Get some noise.
00:03:16Get some noise.
00:03:16I told you we ought to have to fly us.
00:03:19Get up, man.
00:03:19All that ain't right when we get up.
00:03:22Get up, man.
00:03:23Get up, man.
00:03:23Okay, I'm a wick, Jordan.
00:03:24Come on, get up.
00:03:25Open it off.
00:03:27Get up, man.
00:03:27Open it off.
00:03:28Put it in here.
00:03:29Come on, come on.
00:03:29Hide in there.
00:03:31Come on, come on.
00:03:31Come on, come on.
00:03:31Open it, then.
00:03:32Open it.
00:03:33Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:03:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:03:37Hey, hi, hey, hey.
00:03:39Hey!
00:03:39Look at the beef.
00:03:40Look at the beef.
00:03:40holding on.
00:03:41What's that?
00:03:42Hey, what's that?
00:03:42Nobody knowing the bull riding Wamboost?
00:03:45Hey!
00:03:50Never quemad in there.
00:03:57Oh, come on.
00:03:59Come on, you Oh.
00:04:01Hey, my gentleman, in there.
00:04:03Oh, God, come on.
00:04:04Hey, shit.
00:04:06The best of the vegetable industry!
00:04:09Come over here!
00:04:13Hey, hey!
00:04:14Who's this?
00:04:15What are you doing?
00:04:17Oh, you're not going to try to show you!
00:04:19Well, let me tell you that I will break you next!
00:04:21I will break you next!
00:04:25What's the matter with you, Willard?
00:04:27What's the matter with you?
00:04:28We wish you're taking off your air!
00:04:29You're taking off your air!
00:04:30You're taking off your air!
00:04:32You're taking off your air!
00:04:33You're taking here!
00:04:371 minute,.
00:04:391 minute, somebody came here.
00:04:411 minute, somebody came here,
00:04:42Police!
00:04:45Police!
00:04:46Police!
00:04:49Police, stop!
00:04:50There you go .
00:04:54Police!
00:04:56Police!
00:04:57Police!
00:04:59Police!
00:05:24It's just possible, Mr. Wilkes, that Dolan isn't the right man for the job.
00:05:28You know his record.
00:05:30Knuckles Dolan has the full countenance of the club's sponsors, Captain.
00:05:33He is completely regenerated.
00:05:35I can understand that very easily.
00:05:38Having his innocence established just before he is to die for committing a murder should
00:05:41reform any man.
00:05:42I ain't a bit sorry for any of you.
00:05:44But it's all hot.
00:05:46Yeah, what's a little water?
00:05:47You know, when the Captain phoned me, I had half of mine not to bother trying to square
00:05:50it.
00:05:51Thanks anyway.
00:05:52Don't thank me.
00:05:54Thank Algie.
00:05:55He got his father to come down here and go to bat for you.
00:05:57Did he?
00:05:59I hope he succeeds with Danny and the others.
00:06:01I'm sure that he will.
00:06:02And I want to thank you for your cooperation, Captain.
00:06:05Keeping young boys out of the reform school is a hobby of mine.
00:06:08But, if Danny and his friends get in any more trouble, they can't expect any leniency
00:06:13from me.
00:06:14I'm sure there will be no more trouble, Captain.
00:06:16The boys will be very safe when I am sending them.
00:06:18I hope so.
00:06:21Good day, Captain.
00:06:22Good luck.
00:06:28Uh-oh.
00:06:29Here comes the old man with another one of his lectures, I guess.
00:06:32Quiet, monks.
00:06:33Where are you going to send us, Mr. Wilkies?
00:06:34My summer home in the Adirondacks.
00:06:36I'd rather go to jail.
00:06:37Ah, summer camp.
00:06:39Sissy stuff.
00:06:40I ain't going.
00:06:41Not for this guy.
00:06:42Ditto.
00:06:43Me neither.
00:06:44What's doing up there?
00:06:45Must you always have excitement?
00:06:47Let me talk to them, Father.
00:06:48No wonder you don't want to go, fellas.
00:06:50It takes nerve to rough it in the country.
00:06:51Who says we ain't got no nerve?
00:06:53I've listened to that guy.
00:06:54I read about them farms.
00:06:55There ain't no future in that.
00:06:56You're crazy.
00:06:57There's lots of excitement.
00:06:58Exploring caves, tracking down wild animals, camping out at night, plenty to eat, and no
00:07:03cops.
00:07:04Oh, Lord.
00:07:05Think of the things we could swipe.
00:07:07They're steak cops.
00:07:07I heard about it.
00:07:08And the fishing is great.
00:07:09Imagine early in the morning, a rod and a reel and a game fish.
00:07:12You hear that, guys?
00:07:13He said fish.
00:07:14Fishing.
00:07:15And man, I just loves catfish.
00:07:17Mmm.
00:07:18I promise you won't be bored.
00:07:20Well, it might be okay.
00:07:23It's up to you, boys.
00:07:25It's either in the mountains or...
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:27We'll go.
00:07:28Don't jump in confusions.
00:07:29I ain't gonna stay here alone.
00:07:31Good.
00:07:32You will start this afternoon.
00:07:34I have a station wagon which will be just right for the trip.
00:07:37You drive, of course?
00:07:39Oh, yeah.
00:07:39But I don't know how good I'll be where there ain't no traffic.
00:07:43You're not backing out on us, are you, Knuckles?
00:07:44Of course not.
00:07:45I ain't got no lace on my undershirt.
00:07:48Good.
00:07:49Then it's all settled.
00:07:49It's camp Wilkie's or bus.
00:07:51Hey!
00:07:52Great.
00:07:52We're going to the country.
00:07:53We're going to the country.
00:07:54Let's go.
00:07:55Oh, hey.
00:07:56Oh, hey.
00:07:57Oh, hey.
00:07:58Oh, hey.
00:07:59Oh, hey.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:06All right, Algy, hop in.
00:08:08Okay, Knuckles.
00:08:08Hey, don't kill us up there.
00:08:10Hey, don't kill us up there.
00:08:13Hey, come on.
00:08:14Hey, come on.
00:08:16Hey, come on.
00:08:16Hey, come on.
00:08:17Jesus, what?
00:08:18Have a bucket up there!
00:08:22Hey, come on.
00:08:24What is Matt?
00:08:25Hey, comes on to that.
00:08:26Hey, come on.
00:08:27Hey, come on!
00:08:27And of the gate, a couple days and a couple days later!
00:08:33It didn't go straight into a sleep.
00:08:35Come on.
00:08:37Hey, come on!
00:09:01Yes, yes. Thank you. There's no boat sailing for two days, Judge.
00:09:08Two days. Two days, that's too late, Giles.
00:09:11That's right, Judge. Two whole days. In that time, most anything can happen. Probably will.
00:09:16That seems to amuse you.
00:09:18Hardly. It's simply that I know that Maury gang. Unless I'm very much mistaken, they'll see to it that you
00:09:23never have a chance to testify against them. They have too much at stake.
00:09:26Yes, I know. They're threatening Louise, too, when they got close enough to the apartment to leave this in the
00:09:32mailbox. If you and that ward of yours want to stay healthy, keep away from their trial.
00:09:37That means Louise, of course.
00:09:39That shouldn't worry you too much.
00:09:41No. They could use her to keep me from testifying. And in the face of such publicity, what could I
00:09:46do but stay off the witness stand?
00:09:47Whatever happens, you can't win. If you evade the gang, the courts will convict you on that bribery indictment.
00:09:53I'd rather take my chances at the trial. Meantime, I've got to get out of town.
00:09:59To where?
00:10:01Briarcliff Manor.
00:10:02That mountain house of yours? It ought to be safe.
00:10:06How will you get out of here?
00:10:09We'll wait until tonight. Bring your car around to the back alley. We'll come through the basement.
00:10:14You're going to take Louise along?
00:10:16Of course. Tell her to pack. And her.
00:10:26You sent for me, Miss Louise?
00:10:29Yes, Simp. I want you to take those bags downstairs.
00:10:32Going someplace? On a trip, maybe, with the judge?
00:10:34Yes, Simp. You're going too. In fact, we're all going.
00:10:37Where?
00:10:38Well, I don't know just where. It's Uncle Mal's orders.
00:10:40Oh, gee. I wish he'd have told me. I can't go no place without calling me mother. I didn't have
00:10:46no idea.
00:10:51Why aren't those bags on the way downstairs?
00:10:53Simp wants to call his mother.
00:10:54He'll call nobody.
00:10:57Those phone wires may be tapped.
00:10:59Tapped?
00:11:00Yes. With my trial coming off next week, I can't trust anybody.
00:11:04Take them to the basement door, Simp.
00:11:05The basement? But why all the secrecy, Uncle Mal?
00:11:09Reporters, photographers. I don't want them trailing me every second.
00:11:11Where are we going?
00:11:13Briarcliff.
00:11:14That place? With that spooky old Agnes?
00:11:17Oh, she scares me, Uncle Mal.
00:11:19Nonsense. She's a little peculiar living there alone since my wife died.
00:11:22I don't like her.
00:11:23She was devoted to Lenora. That's why I pensioned her and let her stay on at the manor.
00:11:27I suppose it's better than staying here alone.
00:11:30But it's so gloomy, it reminds me of a morgue.
00:11:33Is it haunted, Miss Louise?
00:11:35I don't think so, but it needs a good ghost to give it a little life.
00:11:39Oh, come Louise. The car's waiting.
00:11:42Come on, Simp.
00:11:54Get going. We'll make Briarcliff by midnight.
00:11:57I don't think anyone's seen us.
00:12:21How do you like that? Another flat tire.
00:12:24Why the freight's on 11th Avenue could beat this lump?
00:12:26If you like our service, tell orders. If you don't like it, tell us.
00:12:30Well, I'm telling you.
00:12:31No, look here, fellas.
00:12:32I'm looking. All I can see is a flat tire.
00:12:34Camp Wilkie's a bust. Well, we're a bust, aren't we?
00:12:38You were a drive, of course. That's what he asked Knuckles.
00:12:41You forgot to ask us if we could push. Push!
00:12:45Oh, no. That's not for me.
00:12:47I'm leaving a call. Wake me when it's fixed.
00:12:50Hey, boy. Bring me out some ice water, will you?
00:12:52Yes, sir. Say, I was a guest here, too.
00:13:05All right, boys. Load up.
00:13:07How much farther else is?
00:13:08Oh, about 30 miles or so.
00:13:10Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:13:13Come on. Come on.
00:13:27You know...
00:13:45I'm leaving.
00:13:45Help! Help!
00:13:46Let me out of here!
00:13:47Why the driving light are...
00:13:50Let me out of here!
00:13:51I got a new car!
00:13:52Sunday driver! Sunday driver!
00:13:54Give me a mouthpiece! Give me a mouthpiece!
00:13:57Help! Help!
00:13:58What's the matter, school? Get up here!
00:14:00What's the matter? Hey, Danny!
00:14:02It's black and blue!
00:14:04Anything wrong, Knuckles?
00:14:06Yeah, I think the rear end's damaged.
00:14:08I think that's my trouble, too!
00:14:35What is it, Giles?
00:14:36What's the matter? I don't know.
00:14:38Are you sure you have enough gas?
00:14:40I filled up in town. Feed line's been leaking.
00:14:42I noticed that last week.
00:14:44I had that repaired.
00:14:45We might have sprung it again.
00:14:47The indicator reads empty. Empty?
00:14:49That's what comes of dealing with a pack of imbeciles.
00:14:53Where are you going?
00:14:55We passed the gas station back away.
00:14:58I'll bring a mechanic.
00:14:59All right, Giles. But hurry.
00:15:03I'll be right back.
00:15:12What is it?
00:15:14What happened? The motor exploded.
00:15:15A spark must have lit the gas from the leak.
00:15:19It's a bomb. A time bomb.
00:15:21Bomb? But why?
00:15:23We've got to get off this road, Giles.
00:15:25Do something. You must do something.
00:15:29I'll try to flag this car.
00:15:40In trouble?
00:15:41Yes. Had a blowout skidded into the bank.
00:15:43Could you give us a lift?
00:15:44No. No.
00:15:46Keep quiet, fellas.
00:15:47Sure, we'll be glad to have you.
00:15:49Tell them to get in.
00:15:51Simp, get the baggage.
00:15:52All right, Louise.
00:15:53You going far?
00:15:54The Briarcliff Manor.
00:15:56About five miles up the road.
00:15:57Oh, well, we're practically laying down.
00:15:59Step to the back, folks.
00:16:00Plenty of room back here.
00:16:01Don't cry in the front of the car.
00:16:03Get off the feet!
00:16:03Get off the feet!
00:16:03Have your exact fares ready.
00:16:05Women and children first.
00:16:07I'm Judge Malcolm Parker.
00:16:09Judge?
00:16:11Five million guys stumbling their way along the road.
00:16:14And we've got to pick up a judge.
00:16:16That's fake.
00:16:17Hey, no worries!
00:16:19Up.
00:16:19Up, up, up.
00:16:21Up.
00:16:22Up, up, up, up.
00:16:25Up, up!
00:16:27Up, up, up!
00:16:28Up, up, up!
00:16:28Up, up, up!
00:16:35Up, up!
00:16:46I'm ready to go.
00:17:04Go!
00:17:05Go!
00:17:05Go!
00:17:06Go!
00:17:06Go!
00:17:06Go!
00:17:07Go!
00:17:08Go!
00:17:10Go!
00:17:18That graveyard has stood there for centuries.
00:17:21All my wife's ancestors are buried there.
00:17:23So is she.
00:17:25It's exclusively for the family.
00:17:27Misser, you have my word.
00:17:30I won't intrude on your family.
00:17:35I don't see any lights.
00:17:36Where's Agnes, I wonder?
00:17:41Well, that's that.
00:17:43Rear end shot.
00:17:44What a heap.
00:17:45Yeah, I guess our bus is about done for.
00:17:47I don't suppose you could put us up for the night.
00:17:50Of course not.
00:17:51We haven't the room.
00:17:54Boys, I guess we're gonna have to walk.
00:17:56We'll send back for the baggage.
00:17:59Nice people.
00:18:04We'll send you to the police.
00:18:05Don't do that.
00:18:06What are you trying to do?
00:18:07Scares the dead lady?
00:18:08The grave yard.
00:18:11Didn't you ever see a tombstone before?
00:18:13It was a man!
00:18:16It was a shadow.
00:18:18Wasn't it Giles?
00:18:22Wait a minute, boys.
00:18:24Oh, Simp, bring their baggage upstairs with ours.
00:18:27Okay, boy.
00:18:29I'll be delighted to have you stay with us.
00:18:31Come on, boys.
00:18:36Whoa.
00:18:38Nice job, huh?
00:18:43Help!
00:18:45Go, sir.
00:18:45Go out there, Paul.
00:18:47Carve yourself.
00:18:48Carve yourself.
00:18:48You don't believe in ghosts, do you?
00:18:51No, sir.
00:18:52I don't believe in them.
00:18:54I'm scared of them.
00:18:56What ails you?
00:18:58I saw a face.
00:19:00A ghost's face.
00:19:02Oh, nonsense.
00:19:03She's probably Agnes, my housekeeper.
00:19:05She's a little peculiar.
00:19:06Come along.
00:19:14Where is she?
00:19:15I telephoned her to expect us.
00:19:17Well, this place makes me a little nervous.
00:19:19And my stomach is doing the jumping jive.
00:19:21Rubbish. There's nothing to fear.
00:19:23Nothing to fear?
00:19:24Then what's all the screaming about?
00:19:25Where is she?
00:19:33Do you think I am?
00:19:35You're not flicking the red hats out of me.
00:19:37All them kids are like a thing of baggage.
00:19:40Another way to bring up...
00:19:42What a guy.
00:19:45What a guy.
00:19:45She thinks I am anyhow.
00:19:48Elephant?
00:19:53Perhaps one of you boys will go around the back,
00:19:55climb in the window and unlatch this door.
00:19:56That's a good idea.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59You go.
00:19:59Why don't you go?
00:20:00He's gone.
00:20:01You go.
00:20:02I'm willing, but I can't convince my feet.
00:20:06What's that?
00:20:08It's a light.
00:20:09It's a light.
00:20:10It's a light.
00:20:10It's something like it.
00:20:10Something like it.
00:20:16Good evening.
00:20:18Why is the house dark?
00:20:21Won't you come in?
00:20:33That's better.
00:20:34You should have had this fire going.
00:20:36Lenora never likes heat.
00:20:38Lenora's dead.
00:20:39What makes this place so cold?
00:20:41It's age.
00:20:42There is never any warmth where the dead do not rest.
00:20:45Tommy rot.
00:20:47Oh, good evening, cook.
00:20:49Good evening, sir.
00:20:50We have guests.
00:20:51Unexpected guests.
00:20:52Serve dinner for them.
00:20:53We'll eat a little later.
00:20:55Yes, sir.
00:20:57Where are you going?
00:20:58Well, I must get a little rest and wash up for dinner.
00:21:01Hey, boss.
00:21:01This stuff's heavy.
00:21:02Where'll I put it?
00:21:03Take it up to my suite.
00:21:05You show the boys to my quarters, Agnes.
00:21:07Perhaps you'd like to get ready for dinner.
00:21:08It'll be served shortly.
00:21:11Come on, boys.
00:21:27Come on.
00:21:39Why do you want to clutter up the house with that mob?
00:21:42That time bomb has me worried.
00:21:44Maybe Morse's gang has followed me here.
00:21:47Those boys may prevent a murder.
00:21:50Yes.
00:21:51Maybe.
00:21:57Come along, boys.
00:22:05Feel just like Snow White.
00:22:07She gives you an apple.
00:22:08Don't eat it.
00:22:15Man, I sure do miss that old plantation.
00:22:18Don't eat it.
00:22:41You cannot escape.
00:22:58Oh, there you are.
00:23:00I wondered where...
00:23:05What's the matter?
00:23:06Have you seen a ghost?
00:23:07I told you they'd trail me.
00:23:09I'm not safe.
00:23:12I haven't seen any strangers.
00:23:15I did.
00:23:16At that window only five minutes ago.
00:23:18It's your imagination.
00:23:20How could they find out you were up here?
00:23:22I don't know.
00:23:23They must have a map of the house.
00:23:24I found this note stuck in the wall right there.
00:23:27I'll sleep in Louise's room tonight.
00:23:30Aren't they after her, too?
00:23:32I'll put Louise in the adjoining room so she can hear if anything happens to me.
00:23:35And I can hear if anything happens to her.
00:23:37You'd like for something to happen to Louise, wouldn't you?
00:23:44With Louise out of the way, your slow embezzling of her fortune would never be found out.
00:23:47And with me out of the way, you could get hold of her and her money.
00:23:51Perhaps you know something about these death threats.
00:23:55Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:00Cigarette?
00:24:01No.
00:24:02Let's go into dinner.
00:24:07Let's go.
00:24:33Let's go.
00:24:36Let's go.
00:24:38Let's go.
00:24:40Let's go.
00:24:42Let's go.
00:24:50Oh, boy.
00:24:52I don't like that woman, and I don't like that graveyard.
00:24:56But watermelon?
00:24:57Is watermelon anytime.
00:25:02Man, oh, man.
00:25:07Pardon me, Jackson.
00:25:08Which one of these tools do you use?
00:25:10Do what you always do.
00:25:11Use your mitts.
00:25:12Yeah, use your mitts.
00:25:14Where's Knuckles?
00:25:15Isn't he going to eat?
00:25:16He's taking a bath.
00:25:17That kid's going to get sick from washing himself so much.
00:25:22Oh, what about the guy here?
00:25:24Cigars.
00:25:25Cigars?
00:25:26Come here, cigar.
00:25:27Come here.
00:25:31Cigars ain't for kids.
00:25:43Gentlemen of the board.
00:25:44That last quotation was debunk, see?
00:25:47What we need is more cooperation.
00:25:49I protest.
00:25:50Get down.
00:25:51Now we've got to stop amalgamated from muscling in on a small car rack.
00:25:54See, that's the first thing we've got to do.
00:25:56I protest.
00:25:57Get down.
00:25:57Who is that guy?
00:25:59That's the president.
00:26:00Toll him out.
00:26:01Toll him out.
00:26:09Moising.
00:26:34In with the devil.
00:26:48The best part of the cigar is the last inch.
00:27:03What's up, Danny?
00:27:06They got sick.
00:27:07Yes, sissies.
00:27:09They shouldn't eat so much.
00:27:12Well, the cigars, not the food.
00:27:14Yeah, well, that serves them right.
00:27:17You need any help, Danny?
00:27:18No, I'll be all right.
00:27:21I only took a couple puffs.
00:27:24Cigars ain't for kids.
00:27:27Come on.
00:27:35Agnes, we're ready for dinner.
00:27:39Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?
00:27:41Yes, sir.
00:27:43I was on trial in your court.
00:27:44I'm Knuckles Dolan.
00:27:46Knuckles Dolan?
00:27:47That's right.
00:27:48You sentenced me to death for murder.
00:27:50I was innocent, afterwards exonerated.
00:27:52Remember?
00:27:54I'm up here with the boys, their guardian.
00:27:57He's up here to murder me.
00:28:00I remember now.
00:28:02He's a member of the Maury gang.
00:28:04Those boys are just a cover-up.
00:28:06I'm not a member of any gang.
00:28:07You're upset.
00:28:09It's just a coincidence.
00:28:11He trailed me up here.
00:28:13He's been watching me, spying.
00:28:16This place would drive anybody drip-dizzy,
00:28:18and you're no exception.
00:28:19I saw you at the living room the night 20 minutes ago.
00:28:23I was upstairs.
00:28:25Dinner is ready.
00:28:27Dinner?
00:28:28Who could eat dinner with a murderer in the house?
00:28:30You should talk.
00:28:31You've been indicted for bribery,
00:28:32and you're going to jail yourself.
00:28:35You.
00:28:37I'll have you watched every moment.
00:28:39If you'll not get away with it.
00:28:42Come on, John.
00:28:43I'm going to bed.
00:28:45You can eat later.
00:28:47Oh, gee.
00:28:48I was so hungry.
00:28:49Why don't you eat?
00:28:51He ain't paying me for that.
00:28:55What a wacky joint.
00:28:57Hey, Knuckles.
00:28:58Let's get out of here.
00:28:59We can walk.
00:28:59That's my idea too, Denny.
00:29:01Don't go.
00:29:01Please.
00:29:03Well, I...
00:29:03I ain't welcome.
00:29:05Won't you stay and help me please, Mr. Dolan?
00:29:08Why do you need help?
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:11I'm in danger.
00:29:13Judge Parker has been threatened.
00:29:14I've been threatened too.
00:29:16The judge has been embezzling my money.
00:29:18He wouldn't care if something did happen to me.
00:29:20Don't leave this evening.
00:29:22I'm so afraid.
00:29:24I'll go with you in the morning if I may.
00:29:28Okay, it's a deal.
00:29:29Oh, thank you.
00:29:31Hi, kid.
00:29:32Hi.
00:29:34Hey, what's the matter?
00:29:38Oh, it's this whole set up.
00:29:40And you.
00:29:42Oh, you mean because Judge Parker thinks I'm up here to murder him?
00:29:45He don't believe you about going after us and all that stuff.
00:29:48If the Maury gang come up here and get him, they'll drag you in on it.
00:29:51We just gotta get out of here, Knuckles.
00:29:54We will in the morning.
00:29:56It's that girl.
00:29:57Miss Mason needs somebody to protect her.
00:30:00I don't mean any harm, Knuckles.
00:30:03It's just that I couldn't go if he was to get in another jam.
00:30:07Yeah, I know.
00:30:08But there ain't any danger then?
00:30:10I'd like to believe that.
00:30:11There seems to be danger all around here.
00:30:15Death threats and people peeping in windows and that old Agnes.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:22But don't worry about me, Denny.
00:30:25But suppose they do bump off the judge.
00:30:27Well, they'll try to pin it on you.
00:30:30Gee, that'd be awful.
00:30:32They might make it stick next time.
00:30:36Look, Denny.
00:30:37I ain't never gonna do nothing that'll hurt you.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:40But I ain't leaving here till daylight.
00:30:43Look, you wouldn't want me to run out like a coward with Miss Mason on the spot, would you?
00:30:50No, I guess I wouldn't.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:52Well, watch your step.
00:30:53And don't even trust her.
00:30:54Okay, kid.
00:30:56Say, don't you think you kids ought to be getting to bed?
00:30:58Daylight's coming pretty fast.
00:31:00It can't come too fast to suit me.
00:31:03Where are you going?
00:31:04Go around.
00:31:05Come on.
00:31:22Come on.
00:31:25Don't go, pretty lady.
00:31:30Don't go...
00:31:32...yet.
00:31:36What do you want?
00:31:37You have such nice, soft, white skin.
00:31:42Nora had white skin like that until it became yellowed and shriveled.
00:31:48What a pity, pretty lady, if your skin should lose its whiteness.
00:31:56What do you mean?
00:31:56Strange things happen when the moon is full and Lenora cannot rest.
00:32:04Stop this nonsense.
00:32:06Stay here.
00:32:10Lenora would like that.
00:32:13Guess what do you want?
00:32:14ablo is the red light.
00:32:15Stop this.
00:32:16No.
00:32:36Let you see.
00:32:36Try this and get your body.
00:32:36The red light...
00:32:36The red light...
00:32:39What do you want?
00:32:39The red light...
00:32:41...not to...
00:32:42...the red light...
00:32:43...not to...
00:32:58Gee, I wonder why they keep this place so dark.
00:33:00You're not afraid, are you?
00:33:01Who, me?
00:33:04Have you seen Miss Mason?
00:33:05Shh.
00:33:06Judge Parker's trying to sleep.
00:33:08Miss Mason is retired, which shows her excellent judgment.
00:33:15Maybe he's right.
00:33:17But Louise said she'd meet me in the library.
00:33:21Come on.
00:33:23I tell you, Judge looks scared.
00:33:25And that man, Giles, was trying to calm him down.
00:33:28As close to him as I am to you.
00:33:30I never had a front seat in a killing.
00:33:32That old station wagon had to break down.
00:33:34Why couldn't I pick out a better place?
00:33:35Yeah, maybe in one of those camps, maybe.
00:33:37We could have been splashing around the canoe instead of jitterbugging with our teeth.
00:33:40Is it my fault?
00:33:41Next time, I'll tell my father to leave you in jail.
00:33:43You'll tell him.
00:33:44We'll tell him.
00:33:46Hey, that old dame says a couple of us could sleep next door.
00:33:48Come on, Pee Wee.
00:33:48Wait a minute.
00:33:50Knuckles said for us to go to bed.
00:33:51We're leaving early in the morning.
00:33:53Does he think there's gonna be any trouble tonight?
00:33:54Nah.
00:33:56There's something funny about this old morgue.
00:33:58It's so big and empty, and yet it seems to be full of noises.
00:34:02There's lots of houses like that.
00:34:03Nothing to be afraid of.
00:34:05Nothing to be afraid of?
00:34:06Why, even my goose pimples got goose pimples.
00:34:15What was that?
00:34:16It's only the organ in the living room.
00:34:18You ain't kidding.
00:34:19No, my grandmother used to have one.
00:34:22But everybody's in bed.
00:34:25Somebody ain't.
00:34:27Let's see.
00:34:29Yeah.
00:34:29Come on.
00:34:30Come on.
00:34:32Come on.
00:34:32Come on.
00:34:33Come on.
00:34:34Come on.
00:34:34Come on.
00:34:35What's the matter, school?
00:34:36Ain't you coming?
00:34:37Coming?
00:34:38You feel that hot air on your neck?
00:34:40Brother, that's my breath, brother.
00:34:42Come on.
00:34:44Quiet.
00:34:44What's the matter?
00:34:45Don't you see it, Donnie?
00:34:46It's a flashlight.
00:34:48I don't see nothing.
00:34:49It's them ghosts again.
00:34:51It's probably that old Agnes.
00:34:52If I gotta choose between Agnes and those ghosts,
00:34:55I'm gonna take jail.
00:34:56Cut that comedy, will ya?
00:34:58Nothing to be afraid of.
00:34:59Come on.
00:35:00Let's see what it is.
00:35:01Yeah.
00:35:02Go for it.
00:35:02What is going on?
00:35:03Fire you off.
00:35:06Go ahead.
00:35:06You first, Danny.
00:35:07Oh.
00:35:08Shh.
00:35:21Shh.
00:35:22Still in there?
00:35:23Let's go back.
00:35:24Shh.
00:35:25Shh.
00:35:26No, no.
00:35:26Let's rush him.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:28Let's go.
00:35:29Yeah, let's go first.
00:35:30Okay, come on.
00:35:31Let's go.
00:35:32Come on.
00:35:33Come on.
00:35:34Come on.
00:35:36Nobody here.
00:35:46It's them ghosts again.
00:35:49Hey, ghosts don't play you organs.
00:35:51Maybe they learn how.
00:35:55Lenora wouldn't like that.
00:35:57That's Lenora's organ.
00:35:59She plays it every night.
00:36:01Lenora?
00:36:02That's Mrs. Parker, isn't it?
00:36:05Lenora cannot rest.
00:36:06Her grave is ever empty at night.
00:36:11Hey, you can't scare us with that dribble.
00:36:14It's not a question of fear, but of your safety.
00:36:19Go fly a kite.
00:36:21Lenora will never rest until she gets revenge on him.
00:36:26Malcolm.
00:36:27Malcolm Parker wronged her cruelly.
00:36:31But he'll pay.
00:36:37Remember, I warned you.
00:36:43Leave this house tonight.
00:36:55He's crazy.
00:36:56She makes sense to me.
00:37:00Ghosts playing organs.
00:37:02Phooey.
00:37:03She was pushing those keys herself.
00:37:05Oh, come on, fellas.
00:37:07Let's go to bed.
00:37:08You know, that's the best idea you've had all night.
00:37:11Yeah.
00:37:12Yeah.
00:37:12Look out!
00:37:12Look out!
00:37:23Gee, it's so dark.
00:37:25It's all right.
00:37:25Don't worry.
00:37:25I'm right with you.
00:37:26Yeah, me too.
00:37:27I can't see a thing.
00:37:29Oh!
00:37:30Fire!
00:37:31Fire!
00:37:33It's Sam.
00:37:34What's the idea of sneaking up and jumping me?
00:37:36We didn't know you were up yet.
00:37:37What was you doing hiding out here?
00:37:39I wasn't hiding out.
00:37:40I was guarding the judge.
00:37:41Well, the judge's room ain't this far down the hall.
00:37:43Yeah, it ain't down this far.
00:37:44What do you want out here?
00:37:45What are you doing here, huh?
00:37:56What's going on out here?
00:37:57We heard a noise, sir.
00:37:59We were investigating.
00:38:00Well, go back to bed.
00:38:01It's Sim's business to do the investigating around here.
00:38:04Yeah, so there.
00:38:05Well, I guess we owe you an apology, Sam.
00:38:07Yeah, maybe we owe it to him, but I ain't giving it to him.
00:38:10So long as it's on the cuff, you can have mine, too.
00:38:14I get blamed for everything around here.
00:38:17Yeah, you're crazy, I tell you.
00:38:19There ain't no such thing as ghosts.
00:38:21My grandmama see the real heart was.
00:38:24She must have made some glasses.
00:38:26I guess she oughta know what she see.
00:38:29Well, I don't believe in ghosts.
00:38:30You want that old graveyard down there and everything.
00:38:32I'd just as soon go down there and walk through it now.
00:38:34Well, I ain't in front...
00:38:41Ghosts!
00:38:42Ghosts!
00:38:43Ghosts!
00:38:46I told you so!
00:38:47I told you so!
00:38:49Maybe it's Mrs. Parker.
00:38:50But she's dead!
00:38:51Maybe someone forgot to tell her.
00:38:54You said you weren't afraid of the graveyard.
00:38:55Go with me now.
00:38:56See what it is.
00:38:57Yeah, go on, go on, go on.
00:38:58What do you got to lose?
00:38:59Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of.
00:39:00There's nothing in the graveyard but a few stones.
00:39:01You want to go right now?
00:39:03Yeah, go on, go on.
00:39:05You go.
00:39:06Come on, we'll go.
00:39:07Come on, fellas.
00:39:08Who are us?
00:39:09Yeah, you.
00:39:10Come on.
00:39:11Well, I ain't gonna stay here by myself.
00:39:14Don't hang on to me.
00:39:15Yeah.
00:39:22You.
00:39:25No!
00:39:28No!
00:39:35Help!
00:39:36Help, somebody help!
00:39:37Help!
00:39:39Help!
00:39:41Help!
00:39:42Help!
00:39:43Shh! The boss is dead!
00:39:47Dead! Murdered!
00:39:48Murdered! Murdered!
00:39:49He's bitten!
00:39:52Don't kill him!
00:39:53Where did that happen?
00:40:03Knuckles! Knuckles! I know what I told you so!
00:40:05Take it easy, kid. I didn't bump off nobody.
00:40:07You strangled Judge Parker with a cord from one of your own bedroom drapes.
00:40:10And you made away with Miss Mason, too.
00:40:12You mean Miss Louisa?
00:40:14That's Mason to you. She's vanished, not a trace of her.
00:40:17Semp and I looked before we caught you.
00:40:19You kidnapped her so you could get through her bedroom to murder the judge.
00:40:22That's a lie!
00:40:23Stand still or I won't wait for the chair to finish you.
00:40:26Where are you going?
00:40:26To call the police.
00:40:27But I didn't do it, I tell you. Somebody must have sneaked that cord out of my room.
00:40:30Take that gun off my brother!
00:40:31And let him get away, nothing doing.
00:40:34No pardons for him this time.
00:40:35But I didn't do it, I tell you. Lou-
00:40:38Say, where were you when all this happened?
00:40:40Yeah, where were you?
00:40:41I had him spotted for a killer since the first time I saw him.
00:40:43Look at them shifty eyes.
00:40:44Where was you?
00:40:46In the room across the hall from the judges.
00:40:48Though why I should explain to you, I don't know.
00:40:51I think you ought to explain to me. I'm the bodyguard.
00:40:53You do some explaining.
00:40:55Where were you? You're a fine bodyguard.
00:40:58Oh, I don't mind talking, but it's your turn now.
00:41:00Go ahead, go ahead. Ask him some questions.
00:41:02How did you happen to find the judge? Or did you?
00:41:07Yes. I thought I heard a noise in the upstairs hall.
00:41:10I went in to see if he was all right. He was dead.
00:41:13Was the door locked?
00:41:14He locked it when I left him earlier in the evening, but I found it open.
00:41:18It's them ghosts again.
00:41:20Yeah, well, ghosts don't cut phone wires.
00:41:24Oh, we can't get any fingerprints off that phone now.
00:41:27Oh, gee, I must have missed him.
00:41:28It's worse than that we can't call the police.
00:41:30Who'd ever think that I'd be looking for the police?
00:41:33Now we'll have to send somebody.
00:41:34Don't look at me.
00:41:35Not me.
00:41:36Brother, how's a whole lot of mileage?
00:41:38Well, who would you suggest?
00:41:39Hmm, maybe Simp.
00:41:42Oh, I ain't going out when there's no killer, Luce.
00:41:44And that killer's getting away while you dumbbells are holding me.
00:41:47And Louise may be in trouble right this minute.
00:41:49Stop the dramatics. You know where she is, all right.
00:41:51Go on.
00:41:52Semp and I'll keep an eye on you in the living room until morning.
00:42:11All right, Frisco.
00:42:12Now you took them to the waiting for the cops.
00:42:14You kids get some rope, curtain cords or something.
00:42:16You favor curtain cords, don't you?
00:42:17We'll tie up these babies, put them in an upstairs room and leave a guard on them. Scram.
00:42:20I'll be a guard. I learned how to handle a gun at school.
00:42:22Well, you can have one of the other kids for company.
00:42:24And the rest of us can look for Miss Mason.
00:42:25I'm the killer.
00:42:26We must find Louise.
00:42:27Who do you think you're deceiving?
00:42:29You're only waiting to get us tied up before skipping out.
00:42:31All right, Pete, you can help Algie. Step lively.
00:42:34Gee, that's the first time I was ever on the wrong end of our gun.
00:42:42All right, Algie, watch them close.
00:42:43If anything goes wrong, fire that gun.
00:42:45Where are you going?
00:42:45Outside to search the grounds.
00:42:47I'll put Danny and the other boys to work searching the house.
00:42:49I suppose it hasn't entered that thick skull of yours that if you're innocent, and we are too,
00:42:53Agnes might know something about all this.
00:42:55Yes, it has.
00:42:56But the way I see it, and from what Louise tells me about you and the judge,
00:42:59you're as guilty as if you'd spill the beans.
00:43:01And that lets Agnes out.
00:43:02All right, take it easy.
00:43:07I'm Peter watching Simp and Giles.
00:43:09Pee-wee, you and Skruno see if we can find Agnes and the cook.
00:43:11They might know something.
00:43:12What do we do with them if we catch them?
00:43:14Just hold them and yell for Knuckles.
00:43:15I'd rather hold the cook.
00:43:16Holding Agnes ain't my idea of romance.
00:43:19Hey, I'm going outside, so if you find them, be sure and holler good and loud.
00:43:23Muggs and me are taking care of this room and the rest of downstairs.
00:43:25Hey, just in case we got the wrong guys tied up.
00:43:28Watch your step, kid.
00:43:29Look here, can't we all stick together?
00:43:31I kind of laxed crowds.
00:43:33Come on.
00:43:38This ought to do it.
00:43:43Hey, ain't you too old to be looking for Santa Claus?
00:43:46I don't know.
00:43:47Murderers sometimes use chimneys.
00:43:52You know, this joint kind of reminds me of those old castles
00:43:54with the passageways and secret panels and all that junk.
00:44:01Cut it out, will you?
00:44:02This ain't no time for music practicing.
00:44:04I think this organ has something to do with the secret.
00:44:07You know, we heard it morning just before that ghost showed up.
00:44:10Then Agnes says not to touch it.
00:44:12And Knuckles said Miss Mason was to meet him in this room.
00:44:15She vanished from this room.
00:44:17I'll bet you there's a secret panel.
00:44:19You're crazy.
00:44:20You haven't seen too many movies.
00:44:23Movies?
00:44:24That's it!
00:44:25Say!
00:44:26What's a thin man got that I ain't got?
00:44:28Why not?
00:44:29Give me a little time, bud.
00:44:31Give me a little time.
00:44:38Say, Danny.
00:44:39You know what I think?
00:44:41You know what I think?
00:44:43Hey, Danny, why don't you...
00:44:46Hey, Danny!
00:44:48Hey, Danny!
00:44:49Hey, Danny!
00:44:50Mugs!
00:44:50Danny!
00:44:52Hey, Mugs!
00:44:52Get me!
00:44:53It's the organ.
00:45:04Hey, what's the matter?
00:45:05Are you awake?
00:45:06No, I'm all right, I guess.
00:45:07Did somebody grab you or what?
00:45:08No, I was just laying there and I fell in someplace.
00:45:10Hey, it's a secret passage.
00:45:12Some way to his hideout.
00:45:13Call, Knuckles!
00:45:14Call!
00:45:14No, no!
00:45:15You and me is going to explore it.
00:45:16Oh, no, not me.
00:45:17You're going to explore it.
00:45:18I'll stand guard.
00:45:20Listen, you're coming in with me.
00:45:21Oh, well, I've been so near dead a million times tonight.
00:45:24I might as well get it over with.
00:45:25I'll get a candle.
00:45:26You go ahead.
00:45:27Oh, no, I don't mind waiting.
00:45:28It's all right.
00:45:31We got a match?
00:45:32Yeah, sure.
00:45:36Stop shaking the candle, will you?
00:45:38You're crazy.
00:45:39Light it, light it.
00:45:41That's it.
00:45:44Go ahead.
00:45:44Go ahead.
00:45:45Don't rush me.
00:45:46I'm going.
00:45:52Go ahead.
00:45:52Go ahead.
00:45:55Don't be scared.
00:45:56Go ahead.
00:46:12Go ahead.
00:46:14Hey, you think I ought to get back and get some help, huh?
00:46:17Wait a minute.
00:46:18I think you better go first.
00:46:45Come on.
00:46:46Stop shoving, I ain't no hurry.
00:46:49Come on.
00:47:01Cheapers, creepers.
00:47:05Thanks.
00:47:14Help.
00:47:17Help!
00:47:19Mugs!
00:47:20Mugs!
00:47:22Help!
00:47:23Be quiet, will you?
00:47:25Mugs!
00:47:25What's the matter with you?
00:47:27My cattle went off.
00:47:29Somebody lit it.
00:47:30Ah, you're seeing things.
00:47:32I didn't see nothing.
00:47:34I found them.
00:47:35They didn't stop feeling things.
00:47:36We got work to do.
00:47:37Come on now.
00:47:43Stop kicking us.
00:47:48Come on.
00:47:50I'm coming.
00:47:54Hey.
00:47:55The toy's over here.
00:47:57You go that way, I'll go this way.
00:47:58Come on, give me half the can.
00:47:59Wait a minute.
00:48:00I got my knife here.
00:48:04Come on.
00:48:06I thought you were blinding me.
00:48:08You'll find something.
00:48:10You got a match?
00:48:15All right.
00:48:16Go ahead now.
00:48:16If you see anything, just yell.
00:48:18Okay.
00:48:19Don't forget to yell yourself.
00:48:20Come on.
00:48:21Come on.
00:49:07Come on.
00:49:09This looks like a ghost.
00:49:22It is the ghost.
00:49:26Hey, daddy.
00:49:41Ghost.
00:49:48Help.
00:49:59Help.
00:50:00Help.
00:50:05Help.
00:50:07Help.
00:50:07What are you ducking for?
00:50:08It's me.
00:50:09Help.
00:50:09Danny, I'm telling you it's me.
00:50:11It's Muggs.
00:50:12What's the matter with you?
00:50:13I'm telling you it's Muggs.
00:50:14Look at me.
00:50:14Look at me.
00:50:15Look at me.
00:50:18What?
00:50:19You.
00:50:20What do you want to scare the life out of me for?
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:22I found these things in the room back there.
00:50:23I think it belongs to Agnes.
00:50:25What would Agnes want?
00:50:27Going around making a bully she was a ghost.
00:50:29Wants to scare us out of the place so she can knock off the judge.
00:50:33That's right.
00:50:34I'm not going to be a thief.
00:50:35I'm not going to be a thief.
00:50:36There might be some more stuff back there.
00:50:37Come on.
00:50:37Let's look.
00:50:38Come on.
00:50:39You go first this time.
00:50:40I'm not going to be a thief.
00:50:42I ain't been staring up yet.
00:50:43Hey, we got up with Knuckles.
00:50:45Sip and Giles didn't kill Parker.
00:50:46Agnes did.
00:50:47Maybe you're right.
00:50:49She sure thought he was poison.
00:50:51Hey.
00:50:53That must be Mrs. Parker's.
00:50:55Hey.
00:50:55You don't suppose she's in it, do you?
00:50:57No.
00:50:58She's out getting a manicure.
00:50:59Didn't I just explain you all about that ghost stuff?
00:51:02Come on.
00:51:03We got to find Knuckles and report.
00:51:05Hey, you're not going to go that way, are you?
00:51:06Why not?
00:51:08That man.
00:51:09Man, I know man.
00:51:10We got to go.
00:51:11Think I'm going to stay in this dungeon the rest of my life?
00:51:13Come on.
00:51:47Hey.
00:51:49I wonder where that killer's here out.
00:51:53Beware.
00:51:56Beware.
00:52:02What was that?
00:52:05Something tells me.
00:52:07We ain't alone.
00:52:11There he is.
00:52:13Let's get him.
00:52:14Come on.
00:52:16Hey, watch it.
00:52:17What was that?
00:52:18Look, it's the Giles.
00:52:20He's dead.
00:52:20No, she ain't.
00:52:21She's unconscious.
00:52:21We got to get her back to the house.
00:52:23But how?
00:52:23Well, Carrie, she ain't so heavy.
00:52:25You take her feet, I'll take her head.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:27Well, what do I do with this?
00:52:28Throw it away.
00:52:29And get back in the dark with that killer moose.
00:52:30There's only one thing that's important.
00:52:33That's her.
00:52:33Come on.
00:52:34Not tell me it ain't good.
00:52:35Take her head.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:42The light goes where I go.
00:52:43Want to get separated in the dark?
00:52:59Tell you I'll have to win it for Knuckles.
00:53:00Okay.
00:53:02Hey, Knuckles!
00:53:04Yeah?
00:53:04What is it?
00:53:05We got the gun!
00:53:07We got her! We got her!
00:53:10Go get some water.
00:53:11Okay, okay.
00:53:13How are you?
00:53:14Well, Stu, get a move on.
00:53:17Okay, okay, I'll get it.
00:53:22So they got her, too.
00:53:26Judge Parker always preferred a young girl.
00:53:30That's what broke Lenora's heart.
00:53:32All right, cut the comedy, Agnes.
00:53:34We know all about you.
00:53:36You must be making that water.
00:53:39Where was she? How'd you find her?
00:53:41Well, Muggsy thought there was something funny about that organ over there.
00:53:43Hey, Skirtle! Skirtle!
00:53:45Yeah, what?
00:53:47What's the matter?
00:53:48I heard somebody yelling.
00:53:50Maybe somebody else is dead.
00:53:51It sounds more like Muggs calling Knuckles.
00:53:53Come on, let's go downstairs and find out.
00:53:56Oh!
00:53:57Man, if it ain't one thing, it's another.
00:53:59This house is giving me the creeps.
00:54:02Grave yards and dead folks.
00:54:04I wish my mother was here.
00:54:06And I'm scared.
00:54:07Oh, no.
00:54:07I've got to get out.
