00:01:45The End
00:02:05Hey, you all right down there?
00:02:20Stay where you are, don't move, keep calm, don't get excited, I'll get you out of that right away, just
00:02:26keep calm.
00:02:29Now, wait a minute.
00:02:33Come on, I'll help you.
00:02:38There you are.
00:02:39What did we hit?
00:02:40Nothing. We had a blowout.
00:02:43I don't understand it either. There was a brand new tire this morning.
00:02:47What's the matter? You sure you're all right?
00:02:49Oh, a little shaky, I guess.
00:02:52Come on, will you sit down over here?
00:02:56What am I? An orphan?
00:03:01Come on.
00:03:03Any man that drives as fast as you do ought to be run out of this country.
00:03:06You tell me all about it sometime.
00:03:09Thanks for the lift, buddy.
00:03:12Say, I'm awfully sorry about all this.
00:03:14You're sorry? How about us?
00:03:15We can't stay here all night.
00:03:16Well, you won't have to.
00:03:17I said I'd get you to Carrington Hall and I will.
00:03:19How? Going to flash there on a broom?
00:03:21Oh, get help.
00:03:21We passed the garage about two miles back.
00:03:23Now, you take it easy and don't worry about a thing.
00:03:25I'll be back in a flash with a tow car.
00:03:27Why, it's as simple as falling off a log.
00:03:30Ha! Comfortable?
00:03:34Don't go away now.
00:03:42Must have been his wife with him.
00:04:04Oh, danger ahead. Two of them.
00:04:09Oh, thanks. It was awfully sweet of you to stop, Porus.
00:04:11But I...
00:04:12Honey, you get in the back seat.
00:04:13Can you manage the bags?
00:04:14Yes, I think so.
00:04:15There. Here are mine.
00:04:17There.
00:04:18Now, mind if I sit on your lap?
00:04:20Oh, well, really, my dear young lady.
00:04:21I'll be sorry to inconvenience you, but we had a blowout.
00:04:25Oh, this is comfortable.
00:04:26Well, what are we waiting for?
00:04:28Oh, very well, Eddie. Drive on.
00:04:29Yes, sir.
00:04:32Would you mind telling me where you ladies are taking me?
00:04:35To the Carrington estate.
00:04:37Oh.
00:04:38Is there anything wrong with the Carrington place?
00:04:40Yes, ma'am. If there wasn't anybody living there, it'd be a haunted house.
00:04:49My, my, Cosmo's late.
00:04:51He's usually home by now.
00:04:54Oh, my, it's chilly, isn't it?
00:04:56Emily, remind me to send this coat back.
00:04:58It doesn't keep me warm at all.
00:04:59Mrs. Topper, you haven't got it on.
00:05:02Oh, how silly of me.
00:05:04My, it's strange how it's usually cold in the winter and warm in summer, isn't it?
00:05:08Oh, there's Cosmo now.
00:05:14Oh, look, someone's waving to us.
00:05:16It's a lady.
00:05:17It's worse than that, boss.
00:05:19It's Mrs. Topper.
00:05:23Emily, look.
00:05:25He's got a carload of women.
00:05:27And one of them, one of them sitting on his lap.
00:05:31Oh, my, Emily.
00:05:54Well, here it is.
00:05:56Are you sure this is the Carrington place?
00:05:59Yes, that's what they call it.
00:06:00Cheerful little Eiffel, isn't it?
00:06:06Thanks for the lift, Mr. Topper.
00:06:08Don't mention it.
00:06:09Hurry up with those bags, did he?
00:06:10Yes, sir.
00:06:11I ain't wasting no time around here.
00:06:15I'd like to invite you in, but...
00:06:17Oh, no, thanks.
00:06:18Very much.
00:06:18We've got to be getting home.
00:06:19We sure do.
00:06:21Goodbye.
00:06:24Goodbye.
00:06:28Goodbye.
00:06:29Good evening.
00:06:30Good evening.
00:06:31Why don't you knock before you come out?
00:06:33I'm the bottler, Miss Carrington.
00:06:35Oh, I'm that Miss Carrington.
00:06:37There she is.
00:06:38How do you do?
00:06:39Won't you please step in?
00:06:46Good evening.
00:07:11Miss Carrington?
00:07:12Yes.
00:07:13I'm Lillian, the housekeeper.
00:07:15Well, how do you do?
00:07:16This is my friend, Miss Richards.
00:07:18Howdy.
00:07:18Your father's waiting, Miss.
00:07:21Would you mind waiting here?
00:07:23This way, please.
00:07:31One moment, please.
00:07:38Miss Carrington?
00:07:39This is Dr. Jerries, your father's physician.
00:07:42How do you do, Dr. Jerries?
00:07:43I'd like a few words with you, Miss Carrington, before you see your father.
00:07:47Of course.
00:07:50I'll be as brief as possible.
00:07:52Your father's far from being a well man, Miss Carrington.
00:07:55Yes, I know.
00:07:57Seeing you for the first time may be something of a shock to him.
00:08:01I think I understand, Doctor.
00:08:03He's been looking forward to your arrival with great eagerness.
00:08:08I hope there'll never be any occasion for you to be separated from him again.
00:08:14Come with me, please.
00:08:39Mr. Carrington?
00:08:42Mr. Carrington?
00:08:44Mr. Carrington?
00:08:47Mr. Carrington?
00:08:49Mr. Carrington через beneath-the-the-the-all-gauge movie.
00:09:07Mr. Carrington?
00:09:08Mr. Carrington?
00:09:09Mr. Carrington, who is Sue Water давай?
00:09:14Mr. Carrington已 wissen��enden, who is Sue Court for the planet?
00:09:15what to do or say.
00:09:19Nor do I.
00:09:22Except to tell you
00:09:24Anne, you're beautiful.
00:09:26You're the image of her mother
00:09:27when she was young.
00:09:32Perhaps we'd better sit down.
00:09:34Yes.
00:09:40I know you must think it very strange
00:09:43seeing your own father
00:09:44for the first time
00:09:46on the eve of your 21st birthday.
00:09:49Well, naturally,
00:09:50I've wondered why you never sent for me.
00:09:53Your mother loved the Far East,
00:09:55Anne.
00:09:55Her last wish was that you'd be brought up
00:09:57in the land she loved so well.
00:10:00Oh, I've wanted to send for you many times,
00:10:02but I had to respect your mother's wishes.
00:10:04And, of course, my own health
00:10:06wouldn't permit me to visit you.
00:10:08I understand, Father.
00:10:10I hope we had a pleasant trip.
00:10:12Yes, we had a wonderful trip.
00:10:15We?
00:10:16Oh, I brought a friend along with me,
00:10:18an American girl named Gail Richards.
00:10:20Her father's the head of an exporting company
00:10:22in Shanghai.
00:10:23Richards, you say?
00:10:24Mm-hmm.
00:10:27Why, I hope you don't mind my bringing her.
00:10:30Of course not.
00:10:32Besides, the house belongs to you now.
00:10:34No, Father.
00:10:36To us.
00:10:37No, my dear.
00:10:38By the terms of your mother's will,
00:10:40everything belongs to you after tomorrow.
00:10:43What else do you do around here
00:10:44besides wine and clocks?
00:10:45I'll give you a little bit of a box.
00:10:48Been here long?
00:10:50Twenty years.
00:10:51Twenty years.
00:10:52Looks like it might turn out to be a steady job, huh?
00:10:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:10:57Ah.
00:10:57Ah.
00:10:58Your mother wanted you to have these, Anne.
00:11:01They're exactly as she wore them twenty years ago.
00:11:05Oh, Dad, they're...
00:11:06they're beautiful.
00:11:08They'll look every bit as beautiful upon you
00:11:10as they did upon your mother.
00:11:12Dad, I...
00:11:13I never did know just how mother died.
00:11:16Some sort of an accident, wasn't it?
00:11:19Yes, dear.
00:11:21A mine cave-in.
00:11:25I met your mother in Singapore.
00:11:28After you were born, we decided to move to Sumatra,
00:11:31where I had an interest in a tungsten mine.
00:11:34My partner was a man named Walter Harburg.
00:11:38One day he was showing her mother through the mine
00:11:42when suddenly there was an earthquake.
00:11:45The tunnel collapsed.
00:11:47You've talked enough, Mr. Carrington.
00:11:49I'm sorry to interrupt, but we mustn't tire your father.
00:11:53Oh, of course not.
00:11:56I hope you'll like your room, dear.
00:11:57Oh, I'm sure I will.
00:11:59Lillian will show you where it is.
00:12:01I...
00:12:02I'm supposed to conserve my strength.
00:12:04It's quite all right, Father.
00:12:06Good night, darling.
00:12:07I'll see you in the morning.
00:12:08Good night.
00:12:10Good night, Dr. Jarris.
00:12:11Good night, Miss Carrington.
00:12:17Where's Miss Richards?
00:12:18Here I am, pal.
00:12:24Anne! Anne, look out!
00:12:26Look out!
00:12:29Anne!
00:12:31Anne!
00:12:33Anne!
00:12:34Anne, are you hurt?
00:12:36Oh, no, I'm all right.
00:12:39Anne!
00:12:40What on earth happened?
00:12:42Well, I don't know.
00:12:43That was rather a close call.
00:12:45Close?
00:12:45Six more inches and we'd all be singing Annie.
00:12:47He doesn't live here anymore.
00:12:49How good has anything happened?
00:12:50Please, Mr. Carrington, you mustn't excite yourself.
00:12:54I think you'd better show the young ladies to their rooms.
00:12:57Yeah, pick us a couple without chandeliers, will you?
00:12:59This way, please.
00:13:02Thanks, old boy.
00:13:22Look.
00:13:24The Chinese room will be yours, Miss Richards.
00:13:27Oh, you're a doll.
00:13:31Well, this is just dandy.
00:13:33I travel 7,000 miles to get away from Chinamen, and here I am with everything but a bowl of
00:13:37rice.
00:13:41What's that sound?
00:13:43It's the waves.
00:13:45Angry waves.
00:13:46Day after day, night after night, they beat with savage fury against the black rocks below.
00:13:52For 20 years, they've been calling, calling, calling to someone who never answers.
00:13:59Just like the pot of gold program.
00:14:01Will that be all, Miss?
00:14:03No, I'm starved.
00:14:04You forgot we didn't have any dinner.
00:14:06Rama will bring you a tray.
00:14:07Oh, any little thing will do.
00:14:09Lobster, salad, and beer, but nothing heavy.
00:14:10Anything for you, Miss Carrington?
00:14:12No, thank you, Rama.
00:14:14I'm going to bed, Gail.
00:14:15I'm all in.
00:14:16I'm kind of baggy myself.
00:14:20Good night, Miss Richards.
00:14:21Good night.
00:14:21I hope you rest in peace.
00:14:24Isn't that what they write on tombstones?
00:14:26Oh, don't be silly.
00:14:28Go on to bed.
00:14:29Good night, darling.
00:14:39Your father had this room done especially for you.
00:14:42Lovely.
00:14:43Very sorry, Miss, but we have no beer.
00:14:46I brought you some wine.
00:14:47Wine?
00:14:48Why, that champagne!
00:14:49Yes, Miss.
00:14:50Oh, put it down, buddy.
00:14:52Will there be anything else, Miss?
00:14:53Oh, that's all.
00:14:55Champagne.

00:29:47We can't do that.
00:29:48We'll wake up the house, though.
00:29:49Don't argue.
00:29:51Here, I'll give you a boost.
00:29:52Put your foot up.
00:29:57Ready?
00:29:57Yes.
00:29:59Opsie-daisy.
00:30:00Oh, you ought to go on a diet.
00:30:04Try the window.
00:30:12Now, give me a hand.
00:30:14Where are you?
00:30:15Right here.
00:30:33Is this the room?
00:30:34Yes.
00:30:42Where were you?
00:30:44Well, let me see.
00:30:46Oh, yes.
00:30:47I was sleeping in that bed.
00:30:50And then it seems I got up to close a window.
00:30:53There's the window.
00:30:54And then I started back to bed, and that's all I remember.
00:30:58Oh, my gosh, there I am.
00:31:00Look, right by the window.
00:31:02Oh.
00:31:09This is positively horrible.
00:31:12You've been stabbed.
00:31:13Stabbed?
00:31:16This is no time for champagne.
00:31:19Oh, but, Toppy, it isn't every day a girl gets murdered.
00:31:22Look at me.
00:31:23Oh.
00:31:24Oh, please, please, please.
00:31:27Because this is serious.
00:31:28We better call the police.
00:31:29Yes.
00:31:30I want to find out who did this to me.
00:31:31Where's the telephone?
00:31:32Downstairs.
00:31:33All right.
00:31:47Hello, operator.
00:31:51Operator.
00:31:52Operator.
00:31:54This thing is dead.
00:31:55Hmm, an epidemic.
00:31:57Where are you?
00:31:58Here I am, sweetie.
00:32:00You can't seem to get anybody.
00:32:02Maybe the wires have been cut.
00:32:04I'll trace them.
00:32:07Operator.
00:32:09Operator.
00:32:11Put down that phone.
00:32:22Stay where you are.
00:32:27Your phone's out of order.
00:32:29Who are you?
00:32:31Oh, me?
00:32:32I'm Cosmo Topper.
00:32:34I'm your next-door neighbor.
00:32:36Uh, it's...
00:32:38It's not a nice place you've got here.
00:32:41Very nice.
00:32:43And...
00:32:44I just dropped in to use the phone.
00:32:47At 12.30 in the morning?
00:32:49Oh, is it really as late as that?
00:32:50Well, I must be going.
00:32:53No, I mustn't.
00:32:54Who are you calling?
00:32:56The police.
00:32:58There's been a murder here.
00:33:07Don't look at me like that.
00:33:09I didn't kill the girl.
00:33:11What on earth are you people doing?
00:33:12I found this man prowling about the house.
00:33:14But this gentleman says there's been a murder.
00:33:16What are you talking about?
00:33:18If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself.
00:33:20It's in that big room at the top of the stairs.
00:33:22Why?
00:33:24Why, that's Anne's room.
00:33:25Come on.
00:33:28Anne.
00:33:35Where is she?
00:33:37Right over there.
00:33:39By the window.
00:33:42Where?
00:33:44Where?
00:33:44There's no one here.
00:33:52I saw it here a few minutes ago with my own eyes.
00:33:57Father, what's the matter?
00:34:00Anne, you're safe.
00:34:02You're all right.
00:34:03Well, of course I am.
00:34:05Oh.
00:34:05Why?
00:34:06Why, Miss Carrington, this gentleman has just been telling us that you'd been murdered.
00:34:10Well, Mr. Topper.
00:34:12Whatever gave you that idea?
00:34:13No, it's not you.
00:34:14It's the other girl.
00:34:15I saw her a moment ago.
00:34:17Now, really, I did.
00:34:19Where is Gail?
00:34:20She wasn't downstairs, was she?
00:34:21Of course not.
00:34:22How could she be downstairs when she was murdered up here?
00:34:25Now, Mr. Topper, please control yourself.
00:34:30I think I found something that might explain matters.
00:34:33It's addressed to Miss Carrington.
00:34:39Darling, sorry to run out on you so mysteriously.
00:34:42We'll explain everything when I get back.
00:34:44Love, Gail.
00:34:45Mr. Topper is evidently suffering from hallucinations.
00:34:48Mr. Topper, how old a man are you?
00:34:52Forty-six.
00:34:56Ah, just as I thought.
00:34:57What do you mean, just as you thought?
00:34:59Schizophrenia.
00:35:00Schizophrenia, nothing.
00:35:02I came here in my car.
00:35:03Your car?
00:35:04Ah, yes.
00:35:05It's right outside now, waiting for me.
00:35:20Cosmo!
00:35:22Cosmo!
00:35:24Cosmo!
00:35:42Cosmo!
00:35:43Yes, ma'am.
00:35:45What in the world is wrong with you?
00:35:46It ain't me, it's them things.
00:35:48Things?
00:35:48Doors closing by themselves.
00:35:50People talking to nothing and getting answers.
00:35:52I'm going back.
00:35:53Back where?
00:35:54To Mr. Benny.
00:35:55Ain't nothing like this ever happened there.
00:35:57Oh, stop all this fiddle paddle.
00:35:59Where's Mr. Topper?
00:36:00He's over to that Carrington place.
00:36:02Oh, that girl again.
00:36:03You mean the one that satin' us like?
00:36:04I'm afraid to.
00:36:05Emily, get on your clothes.
00:36:06We're going right over there.
00:36:08Excuse me, ma'am, but are you aiming to walk?
00:36:10Well, certainly not.
00:36:11You're going to drive us.
00:36:13My, my.
00:36:14That's what I was afraid of.
00:36:16Normal.
00:36:17As normal as you'd expect for this type of man.
00:36:20I've lost the body.
00:36:21I've lost my car.
00:36:22If I don't get out of here very soon, I'll lose my mind.
00:36:25What he needs more than anything else is rest.
00:36:27When he feels better, I'll send him home in my car.
00:36:30Anne, dear, you'd better go to bed.
00:36:31Good night, Mr. Topper.
00:36:32Good night.
00:36:35Mr. Topper, Gail's disappearance has me worried.
00:36:38Well, look what it's done to me.
00:36:39Well, where did you last see her?
00:36:41She was sitting on a table in the hall,
00:36:43and she hung my hat on a Chinaman's foot.
00:36:48Just take it easy, Mr. Topper,
00:36:50and the car will be along in a few minutes.
00:37:11Oh, you remember me?
00:37:13Yes, of course, but what are you doing here?
00:37:16Well, I hate to be commercial, lady,
00:37:17but somebody owes me $26.80.
00:37:19Oh, that's right.
00:37:21I'm sorry I forgot.
00:37:23You also forgot to say goodbye.
00:37:24It was a cute disappearing act you and your partner pulled.
00:37:28You didn't by chance see her.
00:37:30You didn't pass her on the road.
00:37:31No.
00:37:32What is she, sleepwalker?
00:37:34I don't know, but she's gone.
00:37:37Oh, disappeared again.
00:37:38Say, she must have been raising a magician's hat.
00:37:41I'll get your money for you.
00:37:57Oh, what's the matter?
00:38:02Anything wrong?
00:38:04I hate to go up those stairs.
00:38:08Would you mind coming with me?
00:38:12Upstairs?
00:38:16With you?
00:38:21I'd better come back in the morning.
00:38:22Please, won't you come?
00:38:25Say, are you in a jam or something?
00:38:28Just nervous, I guess.
00:38:30Nervous?
00:38:30Why?
00:38:32Well, I can't explain, but...
00:38:35Well, things have been happening and...
00:38:36Well, you can stop worrying, honey.
00:38:38Nothing's going to happen to you.
00:38:39Come on.
00:38:41I'd hate to pay the light bill in a joint like this.
00:38:44Oh, this is my room.
00:38:45Well, if you don't mind, I'll just wait here.
00:39:22I'll ask you to...
00:39:24I'll ask you to...
00:39:25I'll ask you to...
00:39:26Come on.
00:39:34I'll ask you to...
00:39:45Stop!
00:39:51Miss Carrington! Miss Carrington!
00:39:54What's going on here?
00:39:55Who's that guy in the black coat?
00:39:56What happened to her? Who are you?
00:39:58I'm the housekeeper.
00:39:59Fine way to keep house.
00:40:00Women screaming, boogeymen jumping out of windows.
00:40:02If I had a house like this, I wouldn't want to keep it.
00:40:04Miss Carrington! Miss Carrington!
00:40:07Miss Carrington!
00:40:08What's going on here?
00:40:10I just said that. Who are you?
00:40:11And don't tell me you're this girl's rich uncle.
00:40:13Oh, don't be silly. I'm her father.
00:40:15Well, that's close enough.
00:40:15Anne! Anne!
00:40:17She's fainted!
00:40:18I'll bet you the first thing she says when she opens her eyes is,
00:40:21Where am I?
00:40:23What happened?
00:40:26Say, what are you doing here?
00:40:27All right, so I'll explain it to you.
00:40:29This young lady owes me for a taxi cab ride.
00:40:32I came here to collect it. She asked me up to this room.
00:40:34I heard her scream and walked into the middle of an Orson Welles broadcast.
00:40:38The man was standing over me with a knife.
00:40:40There it is, there.
00:40:41Where did you get that knife?
00:40:42Oh, I found another window in the next room.
00:40:43Perhaps Topper's story was right.
00:40:46He said they'd murdered the other girl.
00:40:49Now they've tried to murder Anne.
00:40:51Rama, call the police.
00:40:54Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:40:55You don't think I had anything to do with this.
00:40:57Well, do you?
00:40:58Why, certainly not.
00:41:00Anne dear, you'd better get your clothes on.
00:41:02Come on.
00:41:03I'm afraid you're going to remain here, young man.
00:41:07But, good heavens, why should anybody want to kill Miss Carrington?
00:41:10Well, they killed me, didn't they?
00:41:11Yes, I can understand that.
00:41:12But Miss Carrington...
00:41:13Oh, don't worry about her anymore.
00:41:15She's got a nice, handsome bodyguard.
00:41:17He's a taxi driver.
00:41:18Maybe he's the one that's doing all the killing.
00:41:20Nonsense.
00:41:21He didn't bring his cab in the house with him.
00:41:22Hmm.
00:41:23Well, then, if she's safe, there's no reason for me to stay.
00:41:25Good night.
00:41:26I've had a lovely time.
00:41:28Oh, Toppy, don't run out now.
00:41:30We've got to find out who killed me.
00:41:32Then we'll know who's threatening Anne.
00:41:34Yes, but I don't want my wife threatening me, you see.
00:41:36And she will if she finds out.
00:41:37No, I'm going home.
00:41:39Oh.
00:41:43Madame, I'm quite sure you're mistaken.
00:41:45I'm not mistaken.
00:41:46I know I'm not.
00:41:47I'm Mrs. Topper.
00:41:48Aren't I, Edward?
00:41:48Yes, ma'am.
00:41:49But I don't think that's what the gentleman means.
00:41:51I certainly do know what I mean, don't I?
00:41:53Frankly, madame, I don't know.
00:41:55Well, who does?
00:41:56What do you say we start from the beginning?
00:41:57That's a good idea.
00:41:58Where is my husband?
00:42:00But, madame, I don't know.
00:42:01This is a private home.
00:42:03Private?
00:42:03It looks more like a parade ground.
00:42:05Can I help you?
00:42:06You certainly can.
00:42:09Do you live here?
00:42:11Yes, I do.
00:42:12Hi, Mrs. Topper.
00:42:13I'm looking for my husband, Mr. Topper.
00:42:15Oh!
00:42:16Where's that friend of yours?
00:42:17The one that goes around sitting on people's laps?
00:42:19Well, I...
00:42:20She's been murdered, according to your husband.
00:42:22Don't change the subject.
00:42:23If you won't help us, we'll find him ourselves.
00:42:25Come along, Emily.
00:42:25I think you'll find him in the sitting room.
00:42:27The sitting room.
00:42:28Maybe she's still sitting on his lap.
00:42:29Sitting on his lap?
00:42:30Good heavens!
00:42:31You mean you've got a room just for that?
00:42:33Where is it?
00:42:34Right this way.
00:42:35Come along, Emily.
00:42:36Come along.
00:42:38Here she comes.
00:42:39You've got to go.
00:42:40I don't trust you, Bunny.
00:42:41You tried to run out on me.
00:42:43How can I run out with her there?
00:42:45And how can I face her with you here?
00:42:47Well, sounds logical.
00:42:49Okay, here we go.
00:42:52Come along, fella.
00:42:57Cosmo!
00:42:59Cosmo!
00:43:01Well?
00:43:02Where is he?
00:43:02He was here a few minutes ago.
00:43:04Rama!
00:43:05What happened to him?
00:43:06I don't know, sir.
00:43:07But I'm positive he hasn't left the house.
00:43:09And he won't.
00:43:09Not till I find him and give him a piece of my mind.
00:43:11Do you mind?
00:43:12Not at all.
00:43:13Where's the telephone?
00:43:14Right this way.
00:43:15Come along, Emily.
00:43:17Come along, Edward.
00:43:18Cosmo!
00:43:20Cosmo!
00:43:21Cosmo!
00:43:27Operator.
00:43:28Operator.
00:43:28I want to report a missing husband.
00:43:30Edward, you look for him down that way.
00:43:33It's awful dark down there.
00:43:34Darkness never hurt anyone.
00:43:36It ain't the darkness, Miss Topper.
00:43:38It's what's in it.
00:43:39Don't be silly.
00:43:40There's no difference between light and dark.
00:43:42Except the lights are out.
00:43:44Run along!
00:43:46I'll go, but every hair in my coat is standing on in.
00:43:52Cosmo Topper.
00:43:54Well, what's he look like?
00:43:55Like a banker.
00:43:56Of course, that's because he is a banker.
00:44:00Well, can you describe him?
00:44:01Well, he wears a size 15 shirt with a 33 sleeve.
00:44:05A nine and a half sock, Lyle.
00:44:07And he's slightly bald.
00:44:09Oh, yes, there's something else.
00:44:11Let me see.
00:44:11I've paid the milkman.
00:44:12That luncheon's been changed from Thursday to Friday.
00:44:15Oh, yes, there's been a murder.
00:44:17Murder?
00:44:18Yes, murder.
00:44:20Capital M-U-R-D-E-R.
00:44:23Murder.
00:44:25Trying to make these policemen understand something is harder than doing it yourself.
00:44:34Mr. Topper!
00:44:36Hey, Eddie.
00:44:37Got a cigarette?
00:44:44Give me a match.
00:44:56Best plenty.
00:45:01Hooray.
00:45:26Mr. Tomper!
00:45:28Mr. Tomper!
00:45:31Mr. Tomper!
00:45:33Mr. Tomper!
00:45:46Oh, Mr. Tomper!
00:45:56Oh!
00:46:00Oh!
00:46:20Cosmo?
00:46:22Cosmo?
00:46:26Cosmo, where are you?
00:46:27Cosmo?
00:46:33Why, Tuffy!
00:46:35What are you doing here?
00:46:36Oh, where are you?
00:46:38Behind the screen.
00:46:39Huh?
00:46:39Getting dressed.
00:46:41Oh, little sassy face.
00:46:43Didn't your Ma ever tell you to knock on a lady's bedroom door before you barge in?
00:46:47This is most embarrassing.
00:46:48Why couldn't you stay the way you were?
00:46:51A negligee is hardly appropriate for solving crimes.
00:46:59Come on, Tuffy.
00:47:00We've got things to do.
00:47:09Cosmo!
00:47:10Gotta get out of here.
00:47:12Cosmo?
00:47:15I'm from headquarters.
00:47:16What's the trouble here?
00:47:17Trouble, sir?
00:47:18Now, don't stand there dumb.
00:47:19I got a phone call about a half an hour ago that there's been a murder.
00:47:22And maybe you did it.
00:47:24Cosmo?
00:47:27In here, quick.
00:47:33Cosmo?
00:47:34Cosmo?
00:47:36Oh, this must be the kitchen.
00:47:38Well, it's not the music room.
00:47:40Well, he's not here.
00:47:43Cosmo?
00:47:44Where on earth can he be?
00:47:49Cosmo?
00:47:52Cosmo?
00:47:52Oh, my, it's draughty in here.
00:47:57Oh, look at the chocolate cake.
00:47:59Emily makes some tea.
00:48:00Tea?
00:48:02Of course, to go with our cake.
00:48:04But what about Mr. Topper?
00:48:06Emily, you know he never drinks tea.
00:48:07Well, yes, I know.
00:48:08It's not worth it.
00:48:21Let's get it off on Monatolis.
00:48:24Now then.
00:48:25Did you see the face of the man who wore the cloak?
00:48:27No, it was covered up.
00:48:29Somebody's covering up a lot of things around here.
00:48:31Why don't you let her alone?
00:48:32She's nervous and upset.
00:48:33She is.
00:48:34How do you think I feel?
00:48:35A murder and no body.
00:48:37Didn't anybody see a body?
00:48:39Didn't you say that Topper said he saw the body?
00:48:41Cut out the double talk.
00:48:42Who's Topper?
00:48:43These men say he saw the body.
00:48:44Where is he?
00:48:45He's gone.
00:48:46He's gone?
00:48:48The body's gone.
00:48:49Say, what are you people trying to do to me?
00:48:51I'm sure, Sergeant, it's nothing but a tempest and a teapot.
00:48:55Miss Carrington had a note from the supposedly dead girl that will clear it all up.
00:48:58Where's the note?
00:48:59It's gone.
00:49:00The note's gone.
00:49:02Topper's gone.
00:49:03The body's gone!
00:49:04Now look here!
00:49:05I don't have to come here to be made a fool of!
00:49:12Beg pardon, sir, but I believe Miss Carrington left the note upstairs.
00:49:16Jim, take the boys upstairs.
00:49:17Search everywhere.
00:49:18Don't miss anything.
00:49:19Tear it apart!
00:49:22Now look here, Rebecca.
00:49:23Quit stalling.
00:49:24Where is this guy Topper?
00:49:26I don't know.
00:49:27Well, what was he doing here in the first place?
00:49:28I don't know.
00:49:29Say, what do you think I am?
00:49:30I don't know.
00:49:32Who's this fresh guy?
00:49:33Oh, he's all right.
00:49:34He's a taxi driver.
00:49:35Yeah?
00:49:36Well, where's your taxi?
00:49:37Now, don't tell me that's disappeared, too.
00:49:39Where do you think it is?
00:49:40I'm not supposed to think.
00:49:42I'm from the city hall.
00:49:44Now, where was I?
00:49:45I don't know.
00:49:49Emily, this cake is simply delicious.
00:49:51Glad you like it.
00:49:52It's the best you've ever made.
00:49:53This is not our cake.
00:49:55Oh, I forgot.
00:49:56Some cream, Emily, please.
00:49:58Cream?
00:49:59Yes, ma'am.
00:50:08Oh, hello.
00:50:10No!
00:50:13Help!
00:50:15Emily!
00:50:17Cosmo!
00:50:19What in the world are you doing in here?
00:50:21Just sitting, dear.
00:50:24It's chilly outside.
00:50:26But you never used to sit in our icebox.
00:50:29Getting out of a nice warm bed to come and sit in someone's icebox.
00:50:33I don't understand it.
00:50:34Oh, but I do understand it, don't I, Emily?
00:50:37I hope so.
00:50:39That screen came from in here.
00:50:41Hey, look.
00:50:41A prowler.
00:50:43Who are you?
00:50:44I'm Mrs. Topper.
00:50:45Who are you?
00:50:45Mrs. Topper.
00:50:47Where's your husband?
00:50:48In the icebox.
00:50:49Has he got the body with him?
00:50:50Certainly.
00:50:51Under his overcoat.
00:50:59So you're Topper, huh?
00:51:01Would you mind coming out of cold storage?
00:51:03I will not.
00:51:05Say, what's the matter with him?
00:51:06Is the icebox crazy?
00:51:07He's suffering from hallucinations.
00:51:08Oh.
00:51:10You wouldn't by any chance be thinking you were a lamb chop.
00:51:13Now, then.
00:51:14What do you mean by stealing in this house in the middle of the night?
00:51:16And what have you done with that girl you had on your lap?
00:51:18Girl on his lap, eh?
00:51:20Oh, ho!
00:51:21A love triangle.
00:51:22Oh, do you really think so, officer?
00:51:24I get it.
00:51:25You sneaked in here to see some gal.
00:51:27Your wife followed.
00:51:28You had to get rid of the dame, so you knocked her off.
00:51:30Yes or no?
00:51:31I did not.
00:51:32Where's the body?
00:51:33I don't know.
00:51:34So you admit there is a body?
00:51:36Yes.
00:51:37I came over here to look for it.
00:51:39Well, how did you know it was here?
00:51:40She told me.
00:51:41She?
00:51:42Who's she?
00:51:43The dead girl.
00:51:44Well, now we get...
00:51:46Wait a minute.
00:51:47How can a dead person talk?
00:51:49I don't know, but this one does.
00:51:52Oh, I mean, I know you won't believe what I'm going to tell you, but...
00:51:56Well, we certainly won't.
00:51:58Where were you when the attempt was made on Miss Carrington's life?
00:52:01In the library, I think. I don't know.
00:52:03Did you or did you not try to stab this young lady?
00:52:05Oh, don't be ridiculous, officer.
00:52:08Cosmo wouldn't stab anybody.
00:52:10Oh, he can't even carve a turkey.
00:52:12Now, listen, lady.
00:52:14Somebody kills a dame who talks after she's dead.
00:52:18And the body gets up and walks away.
00:52:21Somebody tried to whittle on this young lady.
00:52:23And I find him hiding in the ice box.
00:52:25You don't predict this.
00:52:26I don't want it.
00:52:27He gets his wish.
00:52:28You mean you're going to arrest him?
00:52:30Well, these ain't exactly charm bracelets, lady.
00:52:33Oh.
00:52:35He's got a gun.
00:52:37It's mine!
00:52:38Cosmo will give the man back his gun.
00:52:40Don't do that.
00:52:42Cosmo!
00:52:42Cosmo!
00:52:44Call on somebody!
00:52:45Cosmo, you'll hurt yourself!
00:52:46Don't do that!
00:52:47Riley, you'll light up the sticks for this!
00:52:48Stop it!
00:52:49It might go off!
00:52:52Cosmo!
00:52:55Cosmo!
00:52:57Come on!
00:52:59They shouldn't do that!
00:53:00They'll...
00:53:00Go!
00:53:10Let go of me!
00:53:12Let go of me!
00:53:15You shouldn't have made me do that.
00:53:16Do you want to go to jail?
00:53:17No, but we can't go on like this.
00:53:19My wife's the police.
00:53:20What do you suppose they think?
00:53:21They think you're guilty of housebreaking and murder.
00:53:23Yes.
00:53:23Come on, let's find my body.
00:53:24No, because after we do find it, then I will be accused of murdering you.
00:53:27But I've got evidence to prove you're innocent.
00:53:29What evidence?
00:53:29This note I was supposed to have written Anne, but didn't.
00:53:32Who did?
00:53:33I'll tell you when we find me.
00:53:35Come on.
00:53:46You're tired?
00:53:47How you think I feel?
00:54:13You were supposed to have to find, right?
00:54:13You're tired of this, William!
00:54:14Huh?
00:54:14You're tired of that.
00:54:20Think you're tired of me.
00:54:21No.
00:54:21Thanks, William.
00:54:24You're tired of me.
00:54:25You're tired of me!
00:54:25You're tired of me.
00:54:25Oh, you're tired of me.
00:54:27You're tired of me.
00:54:27You're tired of me.

00:57:28You still looking for a body?
00:57:30Yes.
00:57:30It was down there, but it just left.
00:57:34It left?
00:57:35It just put out to sea.
00:57:37That's the truth, boss, but I ain't going back to prove it.
00:57:40Oh, yes, you are.
00:57:42Yes, sir.
00:57:44My, my.

00:57:51Let's go.
00:58:30Eddie, you're going to stay right here until we get back.
00:58:35Yes, but don't bet on it unless you get awful good hours.
00:58:51Oh, Tommy, you're terrible at rowing the boat.
00:58:54Get up front and let me do the rowing.
00:59:01Here we go.
00:59:02Hold tight.
00:59:14No, it ain't.
00:59:22Yes, it is.
00:59:24If you go out, I'm going with you.
00:59:28Hurry.
00:59:29Help me up.
00:59:30Give me your hand.
00:59:31Why do it the hard way?
00:59:33Them's the orders I got from the boss and them's the orders I'm passing on to you.
00:59:37We're going to do it my way, see?
00:59:39Can't a guy ask questions?
00:59:40No.
00:59:41I say we dump her here, right where we dump Butch and Liverlip.
00:59:44It's out ten miles and plenty deep.
00:59:46Oh, why not wrap her up in a concrete mud pack and drop her right here?
00:59:51The tide will take her out.
00:59:52That's the boss's orders and don't argue with me.
00:59:56Go below and get that engine started.
00:59:58Okay.
01:00:11Gail, come here, quick.
01:00:14Here, you are in here.
01:00:17Oh, dear, I look so uncomfortable.
01:00:31It's off the engine.
01:00:33We've got to get off.
01:00:34No, you lower the boat and I'll take care of them.
01:01:00Keep that engine running.
01:01:01I had it running, it stopped.
01:01:03What stopped it?
01:01:05I don't know.
01:01:09You dummy.
01:01:10I expect that engine to run with the juice turned off.
01:01:15Give me that get out of the way
01:01:38And leave it on
01:02:08I didn't do it
01:02:09Honest, I didn't
01:02:42Come on, Toppy
01:02:56What are you doing here?
01:02:58If you'd asked me that a second later, you'd have been talking to yourself
01:03:28What have you got in that boat?
01:03:29The body
01:03:30That does it
01:03:31No, you don't
01:03:32Trying to hide it, huh?
01:03:33No, no, I'm bringing it back
01:03:35Bringing it back
01:03:37Well, brother, you've got a lot of questions to answer
01:03:40I got a hunch it ain't gonna be no quiz program
01:03:43Don't take them upstairs, all right
01:03:51Everybody here?
01:03:51Yes, sir, all here
01:03:52All right
01:03:54Now get this and get it straight
01:03:57Nobody leaves this room unless I say so
01:04:01And you
01:04:02Stop chewing that gum
01:04:04Chewing?
01:04:05I ain't even breathing
01:04:06Not you, her
01:04:11I'm sorry, Miss Carrington
01:04:12I know this is gonna be a bit unpleasant for you
01:04:14But
01:04:15Would you mind stepping in the next room with me?
01:04:32Miss Carrington
01:04:34I'm going to raise this sheet
01:04:37See if you can identify this young lady
01:04:57How long has she been living here?
01:04:59She came here tonight with Miss Carrington
01:05:04Nice looking, gal
01:05:06Too bad she had to go so young
01:05:10She's got awful big feet, though
01:05:14Who did that?
01:05:16Who did that?
01:05:17Who hit me when I wasn't looking?
01:05:20Was you in that room just now?
01:05:22Not now, then or ever
01:05:26Well, don't tell me the joint's haunted
01:05:28Now, look
01:05:29I was standing in that room
01:05:31Minded my own business
01:05:33Just as I say what big feet she's got
01:05:35I get slapped in the kisser
01:05:39Who did that?
01:05:48Who went out that door?
01:05:49Nobody
01:05:49Now, wait a minute
01:05:50Doors just don't open and shut themselves
01:05:52Yeah, but that one did
01:05:55Hey, who went out that door?
01:05:57Your hoodie
01:05:57Oh, you feel better, dear?
01:05:59Well, she'd be all right
01:06:00If Charlie Chan had let her alone
01:06:02Sergeant Roberts, I don't like to interfere
01:06:04But is it necessary to subject my daughter to all this?
01:06:08She's terribly nervous
01:06:09Won't you, would you please let her go to her room?
01:06:12Nobody leaves this room
01:06:13Not even me
01:06:15And that goes for the both of us
01:06:22Big feet, huh?
01:06:24I'll match mine with his any day
01:06:33Have another
01:06:35Don't mind if I do
01:06:38Innocent men stay home nights
01:06:40They don't hide in ice boxes
01:06:41And they don't take dead bodies on boat rides
01:06:45Why did you kill her?
01:06:46I didn't
01:06:47That's only one man's opinion
01:06:50I can prove it
01:06:51How?
01:06:53Leave me alone in that room for a minute
01:06:55Oh, I'm not that dumb
01:06:58Well, that's only one man's opinion, too
01:07:02Officer, let him have his way
01:07:03There are no windows in the trophy room
01:07:05Any ice boxes?
01:07:06No
01:07:07All right
01:07:08I'll give you three minutes
01:07:09If you're not back in this room
01:07:11With a 14-carat alibi
01:07:12This lady's gonna make one of the most
01:07:14Charming widows I've ever met
01:07:16Oh, well, thank you, officer
01:07:25Gail, Gail, where are you?
01:07:31Just getting another bottle, Toppy
01:07:33Be right with you
01:07:34And you and I'll have a little drink together
01:07:39Whoops, catch me
01:07:43Good boy, Toppy
01:07:45Don't drop me
01:07:48Now you stand up and behave yourself
01:07:50Sweetie, let me mush your hair
01:07:54Stop it, will you stop it?
01:07:55This is no time to be playful
01:07:58Where's that note?
01:07:59What note?
01:08:01The proof you said you had
01:08:03Toppy
01:08:04I want to lie down
01:08:06I'm sleepy
01:08:08You can't get sleepy now
01:08:09You got me into this
01:08:10And you've got to get me out of it
01:08:12Give me a hand
01:08:13Oh, dear
01:08:14Here, come on
01:08:17Toppy, I feel so silly
01:08:19Quiet
01:08:21It's like being on a low boat in here
01:08:24Try to walk straight
01:08:27Look at the pretty couch
01:08:29There
01:08:34This feels so good
01:08:37Toppy, put my feet up
01:08:44Gail, this is serious
01:08:46Where is that note?
01:08:47I know
01:08:48Try to think what you did with it
01:08:50Or I'll be arrested
01:08:51Put a cold towel on my head, sweetie
01:08:53And I'll try and think
01:08:58Honey, don't please
01:08:59Just try to pull yourself together, will you?
01:09:09Where are you?
01:09:11Oh, yeah
01:09:21You've got a little headache, you know
01:09:23Have you got an aspirin on you?
01:09:28No
01:09:30But I'll get you one
01:09:36Well, that settles it
01:09:37That guy's as nutty as a candy bar
01:09:40Send for a straitjacket
01:09:42Make it two
01:09:43One for me
01:09:47Get up
01:09:50Now, where's that note?
01:09:56There it is down there
01:10:03What does this prove?
01:10:05I didn't write it
01:10:06Who did?
01:10:07Lily and the housekeeper
01:10:09Here's a sample of her handwriting
01:10:14They're identical
01:10:17Then she must be in on it
01:10:19Sit down
01:10:24You admit you wrote that letter, don't you?
01:10:27Yes
01:10:28And this is the note you found
01:10:29In the murdered girl's room?
01:10:31Yes
01:10:32Then how do you account for
01:10:33They're both being in the same handwriting?
01:10:36I don't know
01:10:37Listen, sister
01:10:39It looks like you're all set
01:10:40For a first-degree mitre wrap
01:10:42Of course, if you come clean
01:10:43We could go a little easier on you
01:10:45I wasn't alone in this
01:10:46I wrote the note
01:10:47But I didn't kill her
01:10:48Who did?
01:10:57Come on, who did it?
01:10:59It was
01:11:03Turn on the lights
01:11:04Quick
01:11:05Come on, now
01:11:07There's a pickpocket in the joint
01:11:09Whoever stole that witness
01:11:10Put her back
01:11:10Jim
01:11:11Search the cellar
01:11:12Search the icebox
01:11:13Search the attic
01:11:13Where's the attic?
01:11:14Search me
01:11:14I've been in politics 10 years
01:11:16And I've never seen anything
01:11:18As balled up as this is
01:11:22Darryl
01:11:22Guard that front door
01:11:24Don't let anybody get around
01:11:25What's down there?
01:11:26That's the kitchen
01:11:26If I find that dame in the icebox
01:11:29I'll resign
01:11:30Then I'll drop dead
01:11:32Oh, come, come now
01:11:34Brace up
01:11:34Brace up
01:11:36I'd appreciate it so much
01:11:37If you'd stay here with my daughter
01:11:39I want to talk to Sarge Roberts
01:11:40That'll be a pleasure, sir
01:11:42Come, come
01:11:50Now I got to...
01:11:51Oh, you're a horrible man
01:11:53I see no reason for us to stay in this awful house
01:11:55While you go around opening and shutting doors
01:11:57Quiet
01:11:58I will not be quiet
01:11:59I'm so nervous I could scream
01:12:01In fact, I think I will
01:12:06That's fun, isn't it?
01:12:10Come on, let's do it together
01:12:14Stay here
01:12:18That sounds like my wife
01:12:36I'm so nervous
01:12:57Miss Carrington!
01:12:59Miss Carrington!
01:13:01Miss Carrington!
01:13:03Miss Carrington!
01:13:07Well, where is she?
01:13:08She was here a second ago.
01:13:09Well, what's happened now?
01:13:11Miss Carrington's disappeared.
01:13:12Well, I left it with him.
01:13:14Say, what is this, the funhouse at the beach?
01:13:16Everybody that talks to you disappears.
01:13:18Now I'm talking to you.
01:13:20I suppose I'll turn up missing.
01:13:22That is the best suggestion you've made tonight.
01:13:24Well, that's all right.
01:13:26Don't you ever park near a fireplug.
01:13:29As for you...
01:13:30Officer, I... I want to go home.
01:13:33I'll tell you when to go, and I'll tell you where to go.
01:13:37Sit down.
01:13:49Gail, Anne's disappeared.
01:13:52Disappeared?
01:13:53Entirely.
01:13:53Well, we've got to find her.
01:13:55Police won't let me out of their sight.
01:13:57Well, they can't stop me.
01:13:58Huh?
01:14:01Don't go out there.
01:14:02Mrs. Topper's just outside.
01:14:04I'll fix that.
01:14:14Well, where is she?
01:14:16Well, where...
01:14:17Where is who, dear?

01:14:20That... that girl.
01:14:21But there wasn't any.
01:14:22Oh, yes, there was.
01:14:23I heard you both in that room.
01:14:25Pardon me, Miss Topper, but it's getting kind of late.
01:14:28Can't we settle this at home?
01:14:29Edward, don't interrupt.
01:14:30Yes, ma'am.

01:14:34you wouldn't try to deceive me.
01:14:36Why, I remember our honeymoon in Atlantic City.
01:14:38You promised me you'd never look at another woman.
01:14:41Mr. Topper!
01:14:52You better keep away from me or you'll be approached.
01:15:12Mr.otopy!

01:25:23Carrington was killed in a mine cave-in.
01:25:25So that's it.
01:25:27Why, you ghost of a double-crossing crook.
01:25:29Anne must know about this.
01:25:31Too late now.
01:25:32Oh, no.
01:25:33We're stuck here till she finds out.

01:25:48Period.
01:26:04Well, if he was looking for an accident,

01:26:24Miss Carrington, this is for you.
01:26:31Well, what's this all about?
01:26:32Oh, here, read it.
01:26:33Or am I expecting too much?
