00:03:23Hey, my little friend, your pump is not going to hurt you one bit.
00:03:28Just relax and sleep.
00:03:31Sleep, sleep, sleep.
00:03:33Even in the morning, you'll find yourselves in your new home and in my pits.
00:03:38Shh.
00:03:39Shh.
00:03:39Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:41Shh.
00:03:42Shh.
00:03:45Shh.
00:03:51Shh.
00:03:55Shh.
00:04:02Shh.
00:04:03Shh.
00:04:03Shh.
00:04:04Shh.
00:04:15Thank you very much.
00:05:29Good morning, Doc. What you got there?
00:05:33Ivan, I found some new friends. Listen.
00:05:41Wasps, you better be careful. They can sting a man to death.
00:05:44Don't worry. We understand each other. They know who their friend is. They can tell.
00:05:50Yeah, but they know when you ain't, too.
00:05:53If you knew about wasps, what I know, you'd have no fear of them, my boy.
00:05:58Oh, Peter.
00:06:27Hey, you. Give us a hand here.
00:06:29Hello there, Mr. Barker. Surprised to see you out here in the field, sir.
00:06:34How are things running at the front office?
00:06:37Smooth as honey, Renfro.
00:06:40I see here you turned in over 1,000 pounds of orange blossom honey and 400 beeswax last month, Renfro.
00:06:46Congratulations. You've made the top of the list again.
00:06:49Thank you, sir.
00:06:52Honey needs your kind of man, Renfro. You stay with it, and I can see a bright future for you
00:06:58with the company.
00:06:59Well, I do try to do my best, Mr. Barker.
00:07:02I try to take my inspiration from the bees. Always busy, busy, busy.
00:07:09Yes. Now, what about this fellow, Dr. Zinthrop?
00:07:13Zinthrop? Boy, there's a nut. Him and his bees.
00:07:17You know, it wouldn't surprise me some day to see him flapping his arms, taking off after some queen bee
00:07:21with the rest of the drones.
00:07:22Well, he's paid to do research on royal jelly. Haven't had a progress report from him in a month.
00:07:29Well, he has a little workshop up there back of the orange grove. Keeps a few colonies.
00:07:35I suppose I'd better go up there and take a look.
00:07:44Hey, you! Where's this fellow Zinthrop?
00:07:47Boy, he's up where the extractor is, up there.
00:07:51Hey, hey. This isn't a honey bee. These are wasps.
00:07:56What? Who's responsible for this?
00:07:59Most likely Dr. Zinthrop, sir.
00:08:01I told you it was a crackpot.
00:08:03Zinthrop, huh?
00:08:05Zinthrop!
00:08:32Zinthrop!
00:08:36Zinthrop!
00:08:39Zinthrop!
00:08:41Zinthrop!
00:08:48Zinthrop!
00:08:48Zinthrop!
00:08:48Now, look here, Zinthrop! What's all this nonsense about wasps?
00:08:51I'm so glad you dropped it, Mr. Varker.
00:08:54Mr. Varker?
00:08:56I'm on the verge of a great discovery.
00:08:58Discovery? What do you mean?
00:09:00Well, sir, I almost perfected a new method
00:09:03of extracting royal jelly from the Queen's wasps.
00:09:07According to my figures,
00:09:08you're better at extracting funds from the company.
00:09:11Now, look here, Zintra,
00:09:12up over $1,000 last month for miscellaneous.
00:09:15Yes, yes, I know.
00:09:16But, Mr. Barker, let me just show you something.
00:09:19Just let me show you something.
00:09:21Already I've learned to slow the process of aging.
00:09:24Soon, I shall be able to reverse it entirely.
00:09:30What are you getting at, Zintra?
00:09:34Look, what do you see?
00:09:37I see a big dog and a little dog.
00:09:40Let's say an old dog and a young dog.
00:09:44All right, so what?
00:09:46Well, they're exactly the same age.
00:09:49You see, the little one, Greta,
00:09:51has been given regular injections of my compound
00:09:54from the Queen's wasps.
00:09:57Just like I told you, Mr. Barker.
00:10:01Now, look here, Zintra.
00:10:03I understand about science and progress and all that,
00:10:07but you were obtained to extract Queen Bee royal jelly.
00:10:11Now, it's a health food, a cosmetic.
00:10:14It's not a miracle drug or an elixir of youth.
00:10:17That sort of thing is impossible.
00:10:19Oh, but Mr. Barker, this is a...
00:10:20Zintra, I'm sorry, Zintra,
00:10:22but I'm going to have to let you go.
00:10:26You just don't seem to be one of the team.
00:10:30You understand.
00:10:32Good luck.
00:10:33I'm sure you'll fit in somewhere.
00:10:41Oh, now, now, don't worry, my friend.
00:11:00We shall find a home somehow, somewhere.
00:11:05Oh, it's a sound invitation.
00:11:08I know.
00:11:09It's your babies, huh?
00:11:11They're hungry and they must be fit.
00:11:14Oh, now, now, how would you like
00:11:16a nice, juicy little cat in there, huh?
00:11:19You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:11:21There.
00:11:23Now, you must eat them.
00:11:25Be strong because, well,
00:11:28we have a lot of work to do together.
00:11:30Yes, sir.
00:11:33A lot of work.
00:11:47As you can see, gentlemen,
00:11:50sales for the last fiscal quarter
00:11:53have dropped.
00:11:5614 and one half percent.
00:11:58There's not been a corresponding drop
00:12:00in our competitive sales.
00:12:04I trust one of you, gentlemen,
00:12:06has a satisfactory explanation
00:12:08for this decline.
00:12:12Not one little suggestion, gentlemen.
00:12:16We'll start with you, Thompson.
00:12:18As public relations manager,
00:12:20no doubt you have some faint glimmering
00:12:22of what's happening
00:12:23to Stalin products.
00:12:24Well, Thompson?
00:12:27Well, you see, I, uh...
00:12:28I had no idea you were such
00:12:29an excellent public speaker, Thompson.
00:12:31Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Starlin.
00:12:32I guess I'm not feeling
00:12:33very well this morning.
00:12:35I'm sorry you are.
00:12:37I think I can tell you
00:12:38why Stalin products
00:12:39are falling off so badly,
00:12:40Miss Starlin.
00:12:41We're listening, Maine.
00:12:43Where would you put the responsibility
00:12:45for this decline?
00:12:47On you, Miss Starlin.
00:12:51I imagine you...
00:12:54have arguments
00:12:55to support that contention.
00:12:57We've all been looking at it
00:12:58for the past 20 minutes.
00:12:59The most convincing argument
00:13:01is right on that graph.
00:13:05May I show you?
00:13:10Now, right here in April
00:13:12is when Stalin's sales
00:13:14started falling off.
00:13:15Very clever of you, Lane.
00:13:19Would you mind waiting
00:13:20until I finish, Miss Starlin?
00:13:21That's enough, Lane.
00:13:22Relax, Willis.
00:13:24My apologies
00:13:25for the interruption.
00:13:26Go on.
00:13:30Now, as I said,
00:13:31sales began to fall in April.
00:13:32But the reason for the fall
00:13:33was back here in February.
00:13:38Stalin products
00:13:39have always been thought
00:13:40of as something
00:13:40of a modern miracle
00:13:42in the cosmetics trade.
00:13:44A firm built
00:13:45to a multi-million dollar
00:13:46a year business
00:13:46on the strength and appeal
00:13:48of one person,
00:13:49Janice Starlin.
00:13:50From the beginning
00:13:51right through
00:13:52until February of this year,
00:13:54only one woman's face
00:13:55was used to advertise
00:13:56those products.
00:13:57Your face, Miss Starlin.
00:13:59The public have come
00:14:01to accept you
00:14:01as a symbol.
00:14:03Well, now,
00:14:04after 16 years,
00:14:05they see a different face.
00:14:07They don't trust it.
00:14:08They feel cheated.
00:14:10The simple fact
00:14:11is that
00:14:13Stalin cosmetics
00:14:14should have
00:14:14Janice Starlin's picture
00:14:15advertising them.
00:14:17Well, that's about
00:14:17all I've got to say.
00:14:20And a darn good job
00:14:21of saying it, too.
00:14:22I agree.
00:14:23Lane makes a lot of sense
00:14:24on that score,
00:14:25Miss Starlin.
00:14:26I think I've had enough
00:14:28flattery
00:14:29for one morning,
00:14:29gentlemen.
00:14:32It was a very convincing
00:14:34argument, Lane.
00:14:35There's a Mr. Zinfrup
00:14:36to see Miss Starlin.
00:14:36There's only one small
00:14:37fact he's overlooked.
00:14:39Not even Janice Starlin
00:14:41can remain a glamour girl
00:14:43forever.
00:14:44Miss Starlin.
00:14:45Yes, Mary.
00:14:47There's a Mr. Zinfrup
00:14:48in reception.
00:14:48He says he has an appointment.
00:14:53Well, it's been a very
00:14:54informative get-together.
00:14:56That'll be all for now.
00:15:08Oh, Arthur.
00:15:09Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:15:11I'd like to see you
00:15:12in my office, please.
00:15:13Sure, Miss Starlin.
00:15:16Take it easy, hot shot.
00:15:22Something on your mind,
00:15:24Miss Starlin?
00:15:25You've done some work
00:15:27on royal jelly,
00:15:28haven't you?
00:15:29A little.
00:15:31Is there any real
00:15:32therapeutic violence in it?
00:15:34I'd say so.
00:15:35Of course, a lot depends
00:15:37on each individual's
00:15:38reaction to this stuff.
00:15:40What do you mean?
00:15:42It's just that no two people
00:15:43reacted precisely the same way.
00:15:46One man's meat's
00:15:47another man's poison.
00:15:49Oh.
00:15:51But you think royal jelly
00:15:52can be beneficial
00:15:54in some cases.
00:15:56Queen Bee said
00:15:57a lot of stoic, I have.
00:15:59I'll accept that
00:16:00as an affirmative answer.
00:16:04Supposing a more powerful
00:16:06form of royal jelly
00:16:07could be obtained
00:16:08from the queen wasp,
00:16:09for example.
00:16:11I mean, do you suppose
00:16:13that might have
00:16:13some rejuvenating effect
00:16:15on a human being?
00:16:16I'd stay away from wasps
00:16:18if I were you, Miss Starlin.
00:16:20Socially, the queen wasp
00:16:21is on a level
00:16:22with a black widow spider.
00:16:23They're both carnivorous.
00:16:25They paralyze their victims
00:16:26and then take their time
00:16:27devouring them alive.
00:16:29They kill their mates
00:16:30in the same way, too.
00:16:32Strictly a one-sided romance.
00:16:37Well, I'm not exactly interested
00:16:40in the love life
00:16:42of the queen wasp.
00:16:45I want your opinion
00:16:47on the possibilities
00:16:48of using enzyme extracts
00:16:50from royal wasp jelly.
00:16:52Commercially.
00:16:53Well, if you want
00:16:54an honest opinion, Miss Starlin...
00:16:55Of course I want
00:16:56an honest opinion.
00:16:58And my advice is
00:16:59forget about it.
00:17:04Thank you, Arthur.
00:17:06Anytime, Miss Starlin.
00:17:17Have Mr. Zinthrop come in?
00:17:19Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:17:20Uh, you can go in now, sir.
00:17:23Oh.
00:17:24About time.
00:17:29Janice Starlin
00:17:30Enterprises.
00:17:35Miss Starlin?
00:17:37Yes.
00:17:37How do you do?
00:17:39I'm afraid I won't be able
00:17:40to give you much time,
00:17:41Mr. Clinton.
00:17:42But it is I
00:17:43who give you
00:17:44the time, Miss Starlin.
00:17:46Oh, yes.
00:17:47Plenty of time
00:17:47I give you.
00:17:48Ten, maybe
00:17:49fifteen years
00:17:50I give you.
00:17:54I want you to understand
00:17:55one thing
00:17:55very clearly,
00:17:56Mr. Zinthrop.
00:17:58I expect absolute proof
00:18:00of what you claim
00:18:01in your letter.
00:18:02Tangible proof,
00:18:03not words.
00:18:04Such proof
00:18:05you shall get,
00:18:06madame.
00:18:06And more.
00:18:08But I think
00:18:09I'd better show you
00:18:10in the laboratory,
00:18:10yes?
00:18:14Why?
00:18:15Come on.
00:18:25Look.
00:18:27They look terrible.
00:18:30Why don't you
00:18:30put them out
00:18:31of their misery?
00:18:32Madame,
00:18:32you ask for proof,
00:18:33please be kind enough
00:18:34to look at proof
00:18:35you ask for.
00:18:36May I proceed?
00:18:57come, come, come,
00:18:59little...

00:20:30all this darling does my secret have interest for you yes what are your terms Mr. Zendrick
00:20:39first I must have a laboratory it will fit everything I need for my research if we're
00:20:43successful well I ask for a little percentage but I must get full credit for my discovery that
00:20:50is most important to me I'll have Gordon draw out the contract oh contrast contrast I do not need
00:20:57to give you your word good enough Rick you amazed me frankly when I received your letter I thought
00:21:07you were just a another eccentric but there was always a chance you might not be then you walk
00:21:14in here and show me nothing short of a miracle two miracles and you say that you'll accept my word
00:21:20that I won't cheat you you won't I know you're a good woman even if you do not like other

00:21:38oh no no no no no there might be danger those are my terms Mr. Zendrick Janice Starlin will be
00:21:44your
00:21:44next guinea pig very well though it may take a little time to prepare a sufficient extract a week
00:21:52maybe more I'll make whatever arrangements you may need for your equipment thank you madame now I say
00:21:59are you built all this I'm very close to losing it Mr. Zendrick maybe working together we can save
00:22:10Janice Starlin Enterprises maybe even make it bigger than ever before oh yes I'm sure the next three
00:22:20months we will see a rise in Starlin sales that will surpass anything we've dared imagine Mr. Zendrick
00:22:29is working on the final stages of the development that will revolutionize the cosmetic industry he's
00:22:35to have a free hand in his experiments and will be answerable to no one but myself at the moment
00:22:41I
00:22:42cannot divulge the nature of Mr. Zendrick's experiments but I can assure you it will bring worldwide recognition
00:22:49to Janice Starlin Enterprises
00:22:52on Joe Malone's
00:23:22on Joe Malone's
00:23:24I don't know. This Sinthrop must be the granddaddy of all the confidence men to take in a guy like
00:23:28Starland.
00:23:30Why doesn't somebody wise her up?
00:23:34Like you, for instance?
00:23:37Phil, what makes you think Sinthrop really isn't on the level?
00:23:41After all, we don't even know what he's working on. It could be very legitimate.
00:23:44You're as bad as she is.
00:23:48Oh, women.
00:23:52Men.
00:23:54And, Vitania, it's such an answer. You always come up as women.
00:23:59You're not getting out of this one so easily.
00:24:02I'd like to know why you think Sinthrop really hasn't got something.
00:24:06Well, you can call it male intuition, if you like.
00:24:09It's just that there's something about this whole business that doesn't smell right.
00:24:11A private laboratory. A secret experiment. Sinthrop himself.
00:24:16The only thing that's missing is a genie with a lamp.
00:24:21You'd better leave the intuition to me.
00:24:24Come on. I'll let you buy me dinner.
00:24:27Buy you dinner?
00:24:29What's happened to your sporting blood? I thought we were going to toss for the check.
00:24:32Oh, no.
00:24:33You won the last three times.
00:24:36All right. Look, I'll make a deal with you.
00:24:38Dinner is on me if you promise to keep an eye on what goes on in there.
00:24:43Well, what do you want me to do? Read her mail and send you messages?
00:24:46You could do worse.
00:24:49Oh, no, Mr. Cooper. Not you, too.
00:24:52I've been trying to tell Bright Eyes here that I think Sinthrop is a phoning and a confidence man.
00:24:56If I were sure of that, I wouldn't be worried.
00:24:59I think he's a lot more dangerous.
00:25:00A quack.
00:25:01Oh, I don't follow you, Coop.
00:25:03Well, a confidence man would just be interested in your money.
00:25:06The only damage they can do is to your pocketbook.
00:25:09A quack can be fatal.
00:25:18So I asked him, I said, listen, Ivy.
00:25:21I'm getting sick of this TV every night.
00:25:24I mean, you know, we can do the same thing in a nightclub.
00:25:27Well, almost.
00:25:31Good morning.
00:25:33Janice Darling Enterprises.
00:25:37I've got two words for you.
00:25:39Drop dead.
00:25:41Twice.
00:25:43Irving?
00:25:44Calls me to tell me Dr. Cyclops is on Channel 9 tonight.
00:25:48Mr. Trops.
00:25:49She's seen it twice already.
00:25:53Good morning.
00:25:58Is, uh, is Miss Darling in her office now?
00:26:02Miss Darling's in conference.
00:26:04Would you like to speak to his secretary?
00:26:06Oh, no, no, no.
00:26:07Just say to Miss Darling, I should like to see her when she has time.
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:16Was there something else, Mr. Zinther?
00:26:18Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:26:19Goodbye.
00:26:24Goodbye.
00:26:25Goodbye.
00:26:36What a character. A regular two-eyed Dr. Cyclops. Even a bow. Good morning. May I see you Zardling, please?
00:26:46He's a real weirdy. I wonder what his game is. Okay. You know, Morton thinks he's a crackpot. I heard
00:26:53him telling Cooper so.
00:26:55Old Buckeyes really has the execs worried. About what? That's just it. They don't know. Oh. So, anyway, back to
00:27:04Irving.
00:27:21Good morning, Miss Zardling. Good morning. Good morning. I couldn't get away any sooner. Is it important?
00:27:28Miss Zardling, do you remember the big cat I showed you last week? No. What about it? Well, I want
00:27:39you to look at him. Come.
00:27:40Come on. No. Quite the difference, yes?
00:27:51That's incredible. The same mark. The cat.
00:27:58You're young again. Can you realize what that means? You're a kitten again. Your whole life to live over. How
00:28:07does it feel?
00:28:08I think perhaps you'll be able to find out for yourself, Miss Zardling.
00:28:15Today, today will be your first injection.
00:28:20Come.
00:28:23Come.
00:28:36Sit down, George.
00:28:38All right.
00:28:41Come.
00:28:43All right.
00:29:17Mr. Gleeson of Accounting on line three.
00:29:23What is it, Gleeson?
00:29:26I sent you a memo.
00:29:28Mr. Zinthrop has carte blanche to order anything he requires.
00:29:32It is no concern of yours, Gleeson.
00:29:34Make out a check of the full amount.
00:29:42Sue?
00:29:43Mary.
00:29:45Can I talk to Mr. Lanham as well?
00:29:52Bill?
00:29:53Hey, listen.
00:29:54Gleeson just got a bill for $2,300.
00:29:59Zinthrop.
00:30:03Enzyme extracts.
00:30:18Yes, yes, yes, we are making progress.
00:30:21That's great improvement in the tissue.
00:30:25Why is it taking so long?
00:30:27It's the third week.
00:30:29You forget, my dear, there's more to you than a little kitten, huh?
00:30:34Besides, there's a difference in metabolism.
00:30:38Why not increase the dosage?
00:30:40Wouldn't that step up the process?
00:30:41Patience, my dear, patience.
00:30:45Patience, my dear, patience.
00:30:45You must tread lightly with care, your armories.
00:31:05You know, I've been experimenting with the concentrate solution of the enzymes.
00:31:11Oh, a great deal more powerful than the solution I've been using in your injection.
00:31:15Oh?
00:31:16Yes, and I think, I think it'll be better for lotions.
00:31:22As an emalium's lotion, it'll make estrogenic creams and all such products, old-fashioned.
00:31:27My dear, Stalin will be world famous, bringing you to millions.
00:31:32If you're right, Zinthrop, there are going to be a few red faces in my advertising department.
00:31:39Well, I am right.
00:31:40Why, your own mirror will tell you that I am right.
00:31:43Why, you look at least five years younger than you looked three weeks ago.
00:31:48I know.
00:32:06I know.
00:32:31Will you let me talk to Bill a minute, Zinthrop?
00:32:36Bill, I think I've got it.
00:32:39Yeah, I'm a nervous wreck.
00:32:43Lunch, lunch.
00:32:45You'll have to translate for me, Bill.
00:32:47I'm not very good at that technical stuff.
00:32:49Pseudo-technical.
00:32:51Now, Mr. Zinthrop's a very capable confidence man, from what I read in his letter.
00:32:56He claims he can stimulate the processes of rejuvenation through the use of enzymes extracted from wasps.
00:33:03Oh, for...
00:33:05Well, what are you two sure I'm excited to do about it?
00:33:08Right now, I don't know.
00:33:09Frankly, I'm getting tired of the whole business.
00:33:11That woman's so intent on holding back time, she's ready to fall for the first phony line she hears.
00:33:16Wasps.
00:33:17Bill.
00:33:18Well, face the facts.
00:33:19Mary Janice Starlin has built her whole life on youth and beauty.
00:33:22Now that she's losing them, she's scared to death.
00:33:25Right now, she's on cloud nine with that quack Zinthrop that I'd hate to be around when she comes back
00:33:29down to her head.
00:33:30Well, maybe we can let her down easy.
00:33:32How did we owe her that much?
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:36What are we going to do?
00:33:37We can't just let Zinthrop build up her hopes and then knock the props out from under her.
00:33:41How can he do such a terrible thing?
00:33:44Poor Jan.
00:33:45There must be something we can do before it's too late.
00:33:49He's got a mighty convincing argument.
00:33:51Very impressive to the layman.
00:33:54Ten to one, he's got a record just as impressive.
00:33:57There are ways to find out.
00:33:58The answer might be right here in her hands.
00:34:03Ted.
00:34:07I'm going to keep this letter for a day or two.
00:34:09Wait a minute.
00:34:10Suppose she finds out it's gone.
00:34:12I'm the only one with access to that desk.
00:34:14You know, I took...
00:34:14Well, it's a chance you have to take, Mary.
00:34:16I think we can be pretty sure that Coop knows what he's doing, hon.
00:34:20Well, come on, young lovers.
00:34:30Let's see.
00:34:31Let's see.
00:34:32Let's see.
00:34:33Okay.
00:34:55Let's see.
00:37:54Good morning.
00:37:55It is you, Miss Starlin.
00:37:57Of course, it's me.
00:37:59Who did you think it was?
00:38:01You look so different.
00:38:05Finish your meal.
00:38:11Maureen.
00:38:12I think your phone is ringing.
00:38:15Oh, yes, Miss Starlin.
00:38:18Good morning.
00:38:19Good morning, Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:38:23Gentlemen, Janet Starlin Enterprises is about to start on the most widespread publicity campaign
00:38:31in the history of the cosmetic industry.
00:38:33Our slogan will be, our slogan will be, return to youth with Janet Starlin.
00:38:40When Mr. Sinthrop arrives, there will be a press interview and all questions regarding the rejuvenation
00:38:45process will be referred to him.
00:38:49Good morning.
00:38:50That will be all for now, gentlemen.
00:38:51That will be all for now, gentlemen.
00:39:05It's amazing.
00:39:06Well, it's wonderful to hear me.
00:39:08Look, Mark.
00:39:17Mary, isn't it wonderful?
00:39:20It's a miracle.
00:39:21A wonderful, incredible miracle.
00:39:25We were so worried about you.
00:39:27We really thought you were...
00:39:28We even went to plotting how to rescue you from Mr. Sinthrop.
00:39:34It all seems so silly.
00:39:36It seems ridiculous.
00:39:37Oh, Mary.
00:39:39Mary, how old do I look?
00:39:41Tell me.
00:39:43How old?
00:39:44How old do I look?
00:39:45Tell me!
00:39:47How old?
00:39:5123.
00:39:53Maybe 22.
00:39:5412.
00:39:58That's how old I was when I started Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:40:02Do you realize what that means?
00:40:04I'm back where I started.
00:40:0518 years ago.
00:40:08With what it took 18 years to accomplish.
00:40:13It's like a dream.
00:41:10A few years ago, a bunch of quacks were treating people with monkey glands.
00:41:14It seemed to work for a while.
00:41:16And then the deterioration set in.
00:41:18That's awful.
00:41:20Do you think that will happen to Jan?
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:24If I could just get inside of his lab and run a breakdown on what he's using.
00:41:47I don't know.
00:42:11I don't know.
00:42:30I don't know.
00:43:40Mr. Zintra?
00:43:52Mr. Zintra?
00:43:57Mr. Zintra?
00:43:58Mr. Zintra?
00:44:03Mr. Zintra?
00:44:05Mr. Zintra?
00:44:08Mr. Zintra?
00:44:10Mr. Zintra?
00:44:12Mr. Zintra?
00:44:15Mr. Zintra?
00:44:18Mr. Zintra?
00:44:19Mr. Zintra?
00:44:20Mr. Zintra?
00:44:21Mr. Zintra?
00:44:24Mr. Zintra?
00:44:25Mr. Zintra?
00:44:25Mr. Zintra?
00:44:26Mr. Zintra?
00:44:27Mr. Zintra?
00:44:27Mr. Zintra?
00:44:28Mr. Zintra?
00:44:28Mr. Zintra?
00:44:45I have to find him, Mr. Hellman. I don't care what it costs.
00:44:49We'll find him, all right. Sooner or later, we'll find them all.
00:44:54Time is vital, Mr. Hellman.
00:44:56Every hour he's gone, it means more than you can possibly imagine.
00:45:01Well, you haven't given me very much to go on.
00:45:03No home address, no former employer, no phone.
00:45:06This is just like starting from scratch.
00:45:10Mr. Zentrop wasn't a conventional employee.
00:45:15He didn't go through regular personnel.
00:45:17Uh-huh.
00:45:19You say he came here about a month ago.
00:45:21Well, how did he come here, Miss Starlin?
00:45:23He just didn't walk in off the street, did he?
00:45:27The letter.
00:45:29Right here in my drawer.
00:45:35Maybe, uh, one of the other drawers.
00:45:39So that's what she meant.
00:45:41What who meant?
00:45:47Miss Starlin.
00:45:49The letter's been taken, and you think you know who took it.
00:45:52Is that right?
00:45:55My secretary, Miss Janice.
00:45:57You got her address handy?
00:45:59Her phone number.
00:46:00It might be better if I busted in on her cold.
00:46:03This way she'll have a chance to prepare a story.
00:46:05I know what I'm doing.
00:46:07All right.
00:46:08Mary.
00:46:10Janice Starlin.
00:46:12Before I went to lunch, I made a duplicate copy of Mr. Zentrop's letter.
00:46:16I was going to take that one to Bill and Mr. Cooper at first.
00:46:21But then I thought that the original would be better.
00:46:23Have you got the copy?
00:46:26Yes.
00:46:26It's in my desk.
00:46:27Get that copy, Miss Denison.
00:46:30Uh-huh.
00:46:32946 West 73rd Street, Manhattan.
00:46:35Yeah, that's right.
00:46:36Get right on it, Jerry, and check back with me as soon as you can.
00:47:01Get right on it, Jerry.
00:47:29Get right on it, Jerry, and check back with me as soon as you can.
00:48:06Get right on it, Jerry, and check back with me as soon as you can.
00:48:11Get right on it.
00:48:12All right.
00:48:14Get it right.
00:48:47Yeah.
00:48:49Oh.
00:48:52You're sure he's our boy?
00:48:54Uh-huh.
00:48:56Is he?
00:48:58Central emergency.
00:48:59Uh-huh.
00:49:01Right.
00:49:03Well, it looks like we've got him.
00:49:05This is John Doe down at Central emergency, auto accident.
00:49:07There's no identification on him, but he was wearing a lab smock and Phil Zintrop's description.
00:49:12Mary, get my coat on it.
00:49:13Lane, get a cab downstairs.
00:49:16He badly hurt.
00:49:18Head injury, general contusions of the body.
00:49:25He's had a severe injury, and there's definite brain damage.
00:49:28Just how much, we can't tell as yet.
00:49:30How long before you'll know?
00:49:32It's hard to say, Miss Darling.
00:49:35Who's the best man for this kind of injury?
00:49:38Well, there's several top specialists.
00:49:39Get the best.
00:49:40I'll take full responsibility for the expenses.
00:49:44Yes, Miss Darling.
00:49:54I don't know, Arthur.
00:49:57I think it best we wait.
00:49:59But it's been three days since the accident, Jane.
00:50:01And no sign of improvement.
00:50:03He's still in a coma.
00:50:05You heard what the doctor said.
00:50:07He may never regain consciousness.
00:50:09And even if he does, who knows how badly his brain has been damaged.
00:50:18Well, I'll give it another 48 hours.
00:50:21He doesn't regain consciousness by then.
00:50:24Well, you can take over the laboratory, Arthur.
00:50:27But, Jane, what have you?
00:50:28It's my decision.
00:51:08It's incredible.
00:51:11Right in front of our noses.
00:51:14I can't have used it all.
00:51:18I could run a qualitative analysis.
00:51:50I could run a qualitative analysis.
00:51:50Oh, my God.
00:52:20Oh, my God.
00:52:51Oh, that thing always goes on a fritz right in the middle of a good program.
00:53:22I want this to be the biggest advertising campaign in the history of cosmetic advertising.
00:53:28Every newspaper and magazine in the country will be flooded with our new slogan,
00:53:33Return to Youth with Janice Darlin.
00:53:35Excuse me, Miss Darlin.
00:53:38What is it, Thompson?
00:53:39I think we should be a little conservative, Miss Darlin.
00:53:42Cosmetics are one thing.
00:53:44Medications are another.
00:53:46We'll have to run into trouble.
00:53:47Yes.
00:53:50All advertising copy will be cleared through your office.
00:53:53Well, it's a touchy business, you know.
00:53:55Max is right, Miss Darlin.
00:53:56Don't have to second the motion, ma'am.
00:54:04I want one thing understood very clearly now, gentlemen.
00:54:09Janice Darlin Enterprises is going to bring the most fantastically saleable product ever developed
00:54:17by modern cosmetics to the public.
00:54:20And I don't intend to be restricted by timidity on the part of my own staff.
00:54:25Is that clear?
00:54:31Are you all right, Miss Darlin?
00:54:34Just a little headache, Mary.
00:54:36I'm fine.
00:54:38Can I get you something?
00:54:39I'm all right.
00:54:40I'm all right.
00:54:41I have some aspirin in my grave.
00:54:44It's all right, Mary.
00:54:48Well, that'll be all for now, gentlemen.
00:55:25Face it, honey.
00:55:27This is Maureen you're talking to.
00:55:29Yeah?
00:55:30Well, if I were you, I'd take a double dose.
00:55:33Then maybe Irving wouldn't watch television so much.
00:55:35So who says he looks at it?
00:55:37I can't imagine what else he does.
00:55:40Free guess.
00:55:43Say, did Cooper come in yet?
00:55:44Mm-mm.
00:55:46Missed a board meeting this morning.
00:55:47I bet Starlin's having a fit.
00:55:49He should worry.
00:55:51Uh-oh.
00:55:52See you later.
00:55:53Bye, honey.
00:56:00Hi, pretty puss.
00:56:02You know where, um, Miss Starlin's office is?
00:56:10Fleet number one.
00:56:13La-dee-da.
00:56:14The Duchess of Flatbush herself.
00:56:17Don't you like to have this phone wrapped around your ear, wise guy?
00:56:20Yes, and I like it, sister.
00:56:28Suite number one.
00:56:39Miss Starlin.
00:56:40Oh, what is it, Mary?
00:56:43Is there anything I can do?
00:56:45Yes.
00:56:46Is, uh, is Mr. Thinthrop's room ready?
00:56:49Oh, uh-huh.
00:56:50The nurse is fixing the emergency equipment now, and the ambulance is due any minute.
00:56:55Well, be sure to let me know when it arrives.
00:56:58Oh, Mary, please, before you go, could you see if you could work that thing?
00:57:03Oh, sure.
00:57:06I'll see him after, please.
00:57:14Oh, simple enough.
00:57:15That'll be all, Mary.
00:57:16Thank you, Sarah.
00:57:20We've had a room especially made over for you, Mr. Thinthrop, and Miss Warren has a room adjoining yours, so
00:57:26there'll be someone near you at all times.
00:57:30When you're feeling better, Mr. Thinthrop, there are a few things I'd like to discuss with you.
00:57:37Good, good.
00:57:43All right.
00:57:48We'll do everything we can to make you comfortable, Mr. Thinthrop.
00:57:52I'm going to spend the nights here in my office.
00:57:55So if anything develops, I'll be at hand.
00:58:02Mr. Thinthrop, just...
00:58:05Thanks.
00:58:06Only...
00:58:07Only there's something...
00:58:10I must tell you.
00:58:12Something is important.
00:58:15But...
00:58:16Important, but...
00:58:20I cannot remember.
00:58:24I'm sure it can wait.
00:58:26Right now, the main thing is to get your back to help.
00:58:31Take good care of you, Miss Warren.
00:58:32Yes, Miss Darlin.
00:58:34Sure is funny about old Coop.
00:58:37And this is one day at work, and you're ready to call Miss in person.
00:58:40Well, he's a pretty conscientious guy, honey.
00:58:42If he felt sick or something, he'd have called in.
00:58:45Relax.
00:58:46He'll probably be in Brighton's ship for a minute.
00:58:50Mr. Thinthrop?
00:58:51Oh, we were just having a little coffee clutch, Miss Darlin.
00:58:54We were talking about Mr. Cooper.
00:58:57What about Mr. Cooper?
00:58:58Well, about his missing the meeting this morning.
00:59:00Nobody's been able to reach him all day.
00:59:02I wouldn't worry about that.
00:59:04Mr. Cooper's been here a long time.
00:59:07Probably feel he's in time to take a day for himself now and then.
00:59:11That's what I've been trying to tell Mr. Lane.
00:59:14Oh, by the way, Miss Darlin, how is Mr. Thinthrop?
00:59:17Oh, fine.
00:59:20In a few days, we'll start the layoffs for the campaign.
00:59:23Oh, I'm ready when you are, boss.
00:59:27Look, I'm so good.
00:59:29Hey, Bill.
00:59:30Huh?
00:59:31Don't go getting any ideas about the boss.
00:59:33Well, me? Don't be silly.
00:59:35I just wanted to know that I'm an eager member of the team.
00:59:38Still, she is looking a lot younger these days, isn't she?
00:59:43You think Zinthrop would give you any of those treatments?
00:59:46You know, prickle once or something else.
00:59:55Guarantino, there's two.
01:00:27What's that?
01:00:28What?
01:00:28Here, lie back now.
01:00:30You just had a bad dream.
01:00:31Lie down now.
01:00:33Go to sleep.
01:00:34Such, such horrible sound.
01:00:36Like, like a dead man.
01:00:39It's a bad dream.
01:00:40Lie down.
01:00:41Just a time.
01:00:46Tell Mr. Green that personnel is his responsibility.
01:00:51I have other things to think about than worrying whether the night watchman walked off the job.
01:00:55Well, that's just it, Miss Starlin.
01:00:57Mr. Green feels that the watchman never left the building.
01:01:00His lunch pail and his raincoat are still in the basement.
01:01:05I don't want to hear anything more about it, Mary.
01:01:10I'll let them, Starlin.
01:01:13We'll use these.
01:01:15Oh, fine.
01:01:19She swears she heard a scream from one of the other floors.
01:01:23The synth were pretty, too, but she convinced Timmy was having a bad dream.
01:01:27Oh, maybe they both were.
01:01:30That's not funny anymore, Mary.
01:01:32There's something going on in that building.
01:01:35And I'm going to find out what it is.
01:01:37How?
01:01:38Have a look around Cooper's lab, for one thing.
01:01:40After that, I don't know.
01:01:47Hold steady.
01:01:50Bill, this is crazy.
01:01:51We could really get in trouble.
01:01:59I won't tire any of them, but it is important.
01:02:05We're at Mr. Arndt, I'll be in my room.
01:02:12Mr. Arndt, you've got to help me.
01:02:15Something's happening.
01:02:17Something's happening to me.
01:02:19I can't control it.
01:02:20There's something I must remember, but I can't.
01:02:26Try to think.
01:02:27The wasp enzymes.
01:02:29The extracts you were experimenting with before the accident.
01:02:33Try to think.
01:02:35I can't.
01:02:39Well, this is Zinthrop's notebook, Mary.
01:02:42Note from his experiments with Jan.
01:02:44Well, how did Cooper get hold of it?
01:02:46I don't know.
01:02:49If only Coop would show up.
01:02:52Mary, look.
01:02:57Mr. Cooper's pipe.
01:02:59Don't you get it?
01:03:00He's going to go out without his pants and leave that pipe behind.
01:03:04He's still somewhere in the building.
01:03:05I bet a year's salary on him.
01:03:08If he is, he's dead.
01:03:12And the night watchman.
01:03:18There's only enough left for one more injection.
01:03:20One more.
01:03:22You've got to make more of them.
01:03:24Help me, Zinthrop.
01:03:26Please, please.
01:03:27My head.
01:03:28Help my head.
01:03:29Mr. Arndt, please.
01:03:31Help me.
01:03:32Help me.
01:03:33Help me.
01:03:36Help me.
01:03:44Help me.
01:03:46Help me.
01:03:50Help me.
01:03:52Help me.
01:03:54Help me.
01:03:57Help me.
01:03:57Help me.
01:03:59Help me.
01:03:59Help me.
01:04:01Help me.
01:04:02Help me.
01:04:02Help me.
01:04:03Help me.
01:04:03Help me.
01:04:03Help me.
01:04:10Is he asleep?
01:04:11I don't know.
01:04:21Bill, don't touch him.
01:04:22If anybody knows what's behind all this, it's him.
01:04:27Mr. Zinthrop.
01:04:30Bill.
01:04:31Bill, look at him.
01:05:22Bill, let's get out of here.
01:05:26I don't like it.
01:05:27I can't.
01:05:29I can't.
01:05:30I can't.
01:05:31Mr. Zinthrop.
01:05:34Mr. Zinthrop.
01:05:38Who are you?
01:05:39Well, there's nothing to be alarmed about, Mr. Zinthrop.
01:05:41I'm Bill Lane.
01:05:42And this is Miss Denison, Miss Starlin's secretary.
01:05:44Miss Starlin?
01:05:46The cat?
01:05:47What about a cat?
01:05:48Must warn her.
01:05:50Injections.
01:05:51Must not take any more injections.
01:05:53Is Miss Starlin in danger?
01:05:55Terrible danger.
01:05:57I was...
01:05:57Take it easy, Mr. Zinthrop, if you're still pretty weak.
01:05:59Mary, see if you can get Jan on the phone.
01:06:00All right.
01:06:02All right.
01:06:08All right.
01:06:15There's no answer.
01:06:19Oh, Miss Starlin?
01:06:20Is that you, Mary?
01:06:21Where are you?
01:06:22We're in the building.
01:06:23We're in Mr. Zinthrop's room.
01:06:25Something's happened back here.
01:06:26Let me talk to her.
01:06:27Hello, Miss Starlin.
01:06:28This is Lane.
01:06:29Why are you and Mary still in the building?
01:06:32I must help.
01:06:33Don't let me talk, Mary.
01:06:35I must help.
01:06:38I can't explain now, Miss Starlin.
01:06:39I must...
01:06:40I must go.
01:06:41I must help.
01:06:42You must not hold me back.
01:06:44I'm...
01:06:44Don't worry, Mr. Zinthrop.
01:06:46We won't let anything happen to Miss Starlin.
01:06:48Hello.
01:06:49Hello, Miss Starlin.
01:06:50What's going on down there?
01:06:52Stay in your office.
01:06:52I'll be right up.
01:06:56Keep an eye on Zinthrop, honey.
01:06:57I'm going upstairs.
01:06:58Oh, no.
01:06:59No, no.
01:06:59The insect.
01:07:00The insect.
01:07:01Take it easy, Mrs. Zinthrop.
01:07:03You do not understand, Miss Starlin.
01:07:05She's in danger.
01:07:07I must mourn.
01:07:08I'll have to stay here.
01:07:08You go for Jan.
01:07:10Okay.
01:07:10When you get up there, call the police.
01:07:12She can't get outside on this phone.
01:07:13All right.
01:07:14All right.
01:07:14I'll hurry.
01:07:20I'll hurry.
01:07:21I'll hurry.
01:07:34I'll hurry.
01:07:35Miss Starlin!
01:07:37Miss Starlin!
01:07:40Miss Starlin!
01:07:42Miss Starlin!
01:07:42It's me!
01:07:44Barry!
01:07:45Miss Starlin!
01:07:46Please!
01:07:47Open the door!
01:07:56What is this?
01:07:57Miss Starlin!
01:07:58Please!
01:07:58Will you please call the police?
01:08:00What for?
01:08:00Look, I don't have time to...
01:08:03Miss Starlin!
01:08:07I'm sorry I had to do that.
01:08:09There's no time for hysteria.
01:08:11Now, what is this?
01:08:14The enzymes.
01:08:16The enzymes.
01:08:17They've...
01:08:17They've gone crazy.
01:08:19Sure, Mr. Sentry.
01:08:20You just relax and take it easy.
01:08:21Everything will be all right.
01:08:22We'll take care of those...
01:08:23Whatever you call.
01:08:23You do not understand.
01:08:25You do not understand that girl.
01:08:26You shouldn't have sent her upstairs.
01:08:27She's in danger.
01:08:29You must stop her before it is too late.
01:08:30Okay.
01:08:30As soon as the cops get here, we'll make it...
01:08:32Oh, you fool.
01:08:33You fool.
01:08:34Miss Starlin will kill her and tear her body to shreds.
01:08:37Miss Starlin, kill Mary.
01:08:40Miss Starlin is not a human being any longer.
01:08:44The enzymes have changed her.
01:08:46She will destroy the girl...
01:08:47as a female wasp will destroy her enemies...
01:08:49and then devour the remains.
01:08:54Then Bill found Mr. Zintrup's notebook in Cooper's desk.
01:09:00Now, there's no mistake.
01:09:03We've got to call the police now.
01:09:05Now, Mary, you're just getting a little excited.
01:09:07Who could possibly want to hurt Mr. Cooper?
01:09:12I don't know.
01:09:14But it's not only Mr. Cooper.
01:09:17What if not?
01:09:52I don't do it, correct?
01:09:54Mary!
01:09:56Mary!
01:09:56I don't do it, correct me.
01:09:57Mary!
01:09:57Mary!
01:10:06Mary!
01:10:11I can't wait. I'm going to take the stairs.
01:10:12Oh, look. Laboratory. She's going to Lafford, don't you?
01:10:16I'll take you up the stairs, ma'am.
01:10:29Larry! Larry!
01:10:30Larry!
01:10:31Larry!
01:10:32Larry!
01:10:32Larry!
