00:00:00The End
00:00:51Your name, please?
00:00:53Marjorie Burns.
00:00:55Your occupation?
00:00:57Well, I was a detective in a department store.
00:01:01What is your name?
00:01:03Jimmy Kelly.
00:01:05I am a detective.
00:01:07At least you two should be able to keep track of each other.
00:01:11Yeah, you sign right on.
00:01:14We'd like to get married right away.
00:01:17If you're in a hurry, I'm afraid you're in the wrong state.
00:01:21I have a friend, a justice of the peace, crossed the line.
00:01:25I'd be only too happy to send him a telegram.
00:01:27He'd want me to meet you at Red Rock Tavern.
00:01:30Oh, that'd be very nice of you.
00:01:35Are you married?
00:01:37No.
00:01:38I was born this way.
00:01:41Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:02:44This is the kind of night that gives me the willies.
00:02:49Something's always giving you the willies.
00:02:51As soon as I can save enough money, I'm going to get out of here.
00:02:56I want to be where there's light.
00:03:00Sounds like the wailing of ghosts.
00:03:04What makes ghosts wail, Mrs. Jameson?
00:03:07Oh, Bert, don't ask foolish questions.
00:03:11Go and put another log on the fire.
00:03:14Yes.
00:03:16Say, Mason, why do you think Wentworth asked us to meet him here?
00:03:20I haven't the slightest idea.
00:03:23But whatever he has on his mind must be important.
00:03:28Bill's message read the same as ours.
00:03:36But what I can't understand is
00:03:40why he wants to see Gloria.
00:03:44You're not bad at this gag.
00:03:47Have I told you anything yet?
00:03:49Yes, I've taken that journey that you mentioned.
00:03:51And if I place this dark woman properly, you've told me plenty.
00:03:55I should go into this thing as a business instead of...
00:04:02That's a bad card, isn't it?
00:04:08That is the card of death, Harrison.
00:04:12Well, it's funny.
00:04:14I feel all right.
00:04:19Sometimes, cards lie.
00:04:21Personally, I haven't much confidence in this sort of thing.
00:04:34That's a bad sign.
00:04:46Well, at any rate, I'll be careful.
00:04:51That's always a good idea.
00:04:55If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go to my room.
00:04:59Certainly.
00:05:36There we are, honey.
00:05:38I sure could use a nice fireplace.
00:05:40Can I help you?
00:05:41Yeah, you got a fireplace?
00:05:43We've got one inside.
00:05:45Well, the fireplace won't come, John.
00:05:47I guess we'll have to go to him.
00:05:48Keep the change.
00:05:49You are, honey.
00:06:00Well, there it is.
00:06:11My name's Kelly.
00:06:12Has there been a man adjusted to the peace looking for me?
00:06:15No.
00:06:16That's funny.
00:06:17It's slightly inconvenient, too.
00:06:19Well, are you sure you're in the right place?
00:06:21Well, this is the Red Rock Tavern, isn't it?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24Well, if my man shows up, I'll only need one room.
00:06:27If you don't, I'll have to have two.
00:06:35I'm sorry.
00:06:36We can't accommodate you, sir.
00:06:38You can't?
00:06:40No.
00:06:40We haven't any vacancies.
00:06:42Well, that's it.
00:06:45You mind if we hang around a bit until the justice shows up?
00:06:47Why, no.
00:06:48Thanks.
00:06:55Well, what's the good news?
00:06:57Oh, bad, honey.
00:06:58The guy hasn't shown.
00:06:59It looks like we'll have to sleep standing.
00:07:00It's got me.
00:07:02Joint like this out in the middle of nowhere.
00:07:03It's been doing more business than the Grand Central Railroad Station.
00:07:07What will I do with these?
00:07:09Oh, just leave them there.
00:07:12Oh, what a spot.
00:07:16Is this better than chasing petty thieves through a department store, I ask?
00:07:22Yes, it sure is.
00:07:24Oh, starting to answer your own questions, huh?
00:07:26Now, don't stop me.
00:07:28Oh, I'm full of romance.
00:07:31Must be this tavern.
00:07:33The fireplace.
00:07:35I feel so poetic.
00:07:37I could make love to a snowman.
00:07:39If that justice of the peace doesn't show up, the chances are you'll have to.
00:07:44Oh, dear.
00:07:46You know, it is peaceful here and quiet.
00:07:49It's nice.
00:07:50Get on me, man!
00:07:51What is that?
00:07:52It came from Harrison's room.
00:07:57What?
00:08:02What happened?
00:08:03The guards didn't lie.
00:08:05Come on, Jimmy.
00:08:06Wait a minute, punk.
00:08:08You're liable to poke your face in where it doesn't belong.
00:08:10You hug your fire, I'll see what this is all about.
00:08:13I'm through.
00:08:15Through.
00:08:16I can't breathe.
00:08:19It's getting dark.
00:08:22I'm afraid to die.
00:08:27Look at those marks on his throat.
00:08:31That police dog must have done it.
00:08:34Their teeth marks all right.
00:08:36Oh.
00:08:47What's going on here?
00:08:48I don't exactly know.
00:08:50I heard a terrible moan from Mr. Harrison's room.
00:08:54We'll take care of that killer.
00:08:55I heard.
00:09:02Well?
00:09:03Harrison's dead.
00:09:05Where are you going?
00:09:06To get my gun.
00:09:07That dog will never attack anyone else.
00:09:26I should have had that dog put out of the way a long time ago.
00:09:29He's a killer.
00:09:30Powered wolf.
00:09:35Well, what do you think?
00:09:37He hasn't showed up yet.
00:09:38Who?
00:09:39The justice of the peace.
00:09:41No, no, no.
00:09:42I mean about the case.
00:09:44I didn't come here to solve any murder mysteries.
00:09:46My object is marriage.
00:09:50You better be careful of him.
00:09:52Don't worry.
00:09:52I will.
00:10:04You know, it might not be a bad idea to phone the coroner.
00:10:08Yes, surely.
00:10:10I'll do it for you, Mrs. Jameson.
00:10:12Oh, will you please?
00:10:13Gladly.
00:10:17Give me the coroner's office.
00:10:18I knew this would happen.
00:10:20Huh?
00:10:21I warned Harrison.
00:10:27How did you know the dog was going to attack him?
00:10:31I'll tell you something else.
00:10:34Everyone here is in the shadow of death.
00:10:38The same thing that happened to Harrison might happen to you.
00:10:42Or you.
00:10:46Or me.
00:10:47Come on, sister.
00:10:47Let us in on your secret.
00:10:51I read it in the cards.
00:10:52You mean you're a mind reader?
00:10:54Oh, cut it out, honey.
00:10:55A mind reader reads minds.
00:10:57You're letting yourself open for a wisecrack there, Jimmy.
00:11:01Stop your clowning.
00:11:02This is a very serious situation.
00:11:05She reads it in the cards.
00:11:08Personally, I think it's a lot of hoey.
00:11:14And I'd suggest that you get over here as soon as possible.
00:11:19That's fine.
00:11:21Goodbye.
00:11:22Goodbye.
00:11:43I hope he killed that dog.
00:11:45Whether he did or not, I think we'd all better turn in.
00:11:49But what about the coroner?
00:11:50Well, I'll wait up for him.
00:11:52You folks had better get to bed.
00:11:56Say.
00:11:59Couldn't you put us up somewhere for the night?
00:12:01Why, uh...
00:12:02As soon as they take Mr. Harrison's body out, you could have his room.
00:12:08Well, I don't think I could go for that.
00:12:10I'll bunk with Bill.
00:12:12You and your husband can have my room.
00:12:15Well, uh...
00:12:17We're not married yet.
00:12:18I have a large double bed.
00:12:19And if you don't mind, I'd be very glad to share it with you.
00:12:24You can sleep with me.
00:12:25Hey, you've got yourself a bed, partner, mister.
00:12:28Would you mind helping me upstairs with the bags?
00:12:30The, uh, large one goes to this gentleman's room, and the other one goes to the ladies.
00:12:36Yes, sir.
00:12:39Well, I'm retiring.
00:12:41Good night.
00:12:41Good night.
00:12:42Pleasant dreams.
00:12:43You mean pleasant nightmares, don't you?
00:12:48When you come back down, fix the fire for the night.
00:12:51Yes, sir.
00:12:52You'd better stay up.
00:12:53Maybe you'll be able to help the coroner.
00:12:56Oh!
00:12:57I think I can take care of everything.
00:12:59If you're needed, I'll wake you up.
00:13:02Good night.
00:13:04Good night, darling.
00:13:06Hi, dear.
00:13:09Well, he got away from me.
00:13:10But we can set a trap for him in the morning.
00:13:12That sounds like a very sensible idea.
00:13:15We've had enough excitement for one evening.
00:13:17Now, let's go.
00:13:22Has Wentworth shown up yet?
00:13:24No.
00:13:25Well, that's funny.
00:13:27If the justice of the peace shows up, call me.
00:13:29Oh, sure.
00:13:30Must have been something very important to detain him.
00:13:33Oh, no doubt about it.
00:13:35Which room are the girls in?
00:13:37Uh, that one.
00:13:43Boom!
00:13:46Did I scare you?
00:13:47Will you please go to bed and stop playing?
00:13:50Good night, dear.
00:13:53Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:14:01I wonder if I'm making a mistake.
00:14:03Well, he has a sense of humor, hasn't he?
00:14:06Yes, sort of.
00:14:07But even with that handicap,
00:14:08he's the most popular man in the department.
00:14:12The department?
00:14:13Yes.
00:14:14Jim, he's a detective.
00:14:16And if I must say so myself, a mighty good one.
00:14:20Too bad about Harrison.
00:14:23Did you know him?
00:14:24Well, slightly.
00:14:27How long have you been down here?
00:14:29Came down this afternoon.
00:14:31On a vacation?
00:14:33Yeah.
00:14:34Is he working on a case here?
00:14:38Yes.
00:14:39If you can consider me a case.
00:14:41You see, he wants to turn me over to the justice of the peace.
00:14:45It's sort of a life sentence.
00:14:48And believe me,
00:14:50it's one jolt a girl can't be freed from on account of good behavior.
00:14:53No, of course not.
00:14:55Will you excuse me?
00:14:56I'll be back in a minute.
00:14:57Oh, certainly.
00:14:59Well, I guess I'll turn in.
00:15:02Hey, wait a minute.
00:15:04Twin beds in there in my room.
00:15:06Why don't you bunk in there with me?
00:15:10Well, that's not a bad idea.
00:15:12Thanks, I will.
00:15:29I thought you were going to bed.
00:15:30I was.
00:15:31You'll excuse us, won't you?
00:15:33Sure, sure, sure.
00:15:34Sure.
00:15:35Sure.
00:15:50Now, what's wrong?
00:15:51You know the boy who's sharing Bill's room?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:54He's a detective.
00:15:55No.
00:15:56The girl told me.
00:15:57I'm sure we're not responsible for their being here.
00:16:00But I thought I ought to warn you.
00:16:01It's better to be on the safe side.
00:16:08It's you.
00:16:10What's that?
00:16:11Let's find out.
00:16:20Wait a minute.
00:16:22Stay in there, Marjorie.
00:16:23I'll find out what all this yelling is about.
00:16:37He's dead.
00:16:39Killed just like Harrison.
00:16:51Turn on the light.
00:16:57It's you.
00:17:13It's a pity he didn't get that dog.
00:17:21This is getting on my nerves.
00:17:23We'd better lock all the windows so that animal can't get back in here.
00:17:28I'll lock this when the view fellas take care of the rest of them on the ground floor.
00:17:32Okay.
00:17:38Oh, Nathan.
00:17:40We're all doomed.
00:17:41I can sense it.
00:17:43Oh, pull yourself together.
00:17:45Take care of her, will you please?
00:17:47This place is spooky.
00:17:49Shut up!
00:17:50Isn't it bad enough to have the tavern turned into a madhouse without you wailing all the time?
00:17:59Take a look at the windows, will you?
00:18:04Sure.
00:18:04Come back, how about that dog, lad?
00:18:09What's going on?
00:19:00How far has the coroner lived from here?
00:19:03Uh, why, about ten miles.
00:19:06They should have been here by now.
00:19:08Maybe I'd better call him again.
00:19:09Supposing I'd call him this time.
00:19:18Hello?
00:19:19Hello?
00:19:21Hello?
00:19:21Hello?
00:19:25Hello?
00:19:33Hello?
00:19:35Hello?
00:19:53Now what's wrong?
00:19:55That's what I'm going to try and find out.
00:19:57Hello?
00:20:05Hello?
00:20:36Hmm.
00:20:52Well, that's a clever dog.
00:20:54After he kills his victims, he cuts the telephone wires.
00:20:58What?
00:20:58That's impossible.
00:20:59You're telling me?
00:21:01How do you figure it out?
00:21:04Well, uh, I haven't yet.
00:21:08Of course.
00:21:09You're the logical man to solve this mystery.
00:21:12Now, what do you mean by that crack?
00:21:15Being a detective, you're naturally more familiar with murders.
00:21:19That is, if these were murders...
00:21:22Oh, are you a policeman?
00:21:24Well, I am an officer, but I'm traveling incognito.
00:21:27I thought you came in a bus.
00:21:30Shut up!
00:21:34Say, how did you know I was a cop?
00:21:38Your feet gave you away.
00:21:44You're not doing so bad yourself there, partner.
00:22:11That's Margie!
00:22:18What happened, honey?
00:22:19The dog!
00:22:20He tried to get into my room.
00:22:22Oh, are you sure?
00:22:24What do you mean am I sure?
00:22:26Do you think I could get in this nervous condition all by myself?
00:22:29I can't understand it.
00:22:32I was practicing to be a dutiful wife.
00:22:46Darling, will you please hush up?
00:22:48Come on.
00:22:52Are you all right?
00:22:53Yes.
00:22:53What do you mean yes?
00:22:55Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf.
00:22:58Say, you seem sorry I wasn't bitten to death.
00:23:01Margie, will you please hush?
00:23:03Come on.
00:23:03What do you mean come on?
00:23:05I want to talk to you.
00:23:06But that dog in there came...
00:23:07Don't worry, nothing's going to hurt you.
00:23:10Oh, it was nice knowing you gentlemen.
00:23:14Come on.
00:23:16What do you think?
00:23:18Do I have to tell?
00:23:28You know, that girl's troubled with hallucinations.
00:23:32I don't think I'll wait any longer.
00:23:34Will you please make arrangements to have me driven back to town?
00:23:36I'm sorry.
00:23:37We're having a car on the place.
00:23:39You'll have to wait for the morning bus.
00:23:41Well, uh, I don't believe there's a chance of any of us getting much sleep tonight.
00:23:45Suppose I make some coffee.
00:23:47That's a grand idea, Mrs. Jameson.
00:23:49And I second the motion.
00:23:51All right.
00:23:52What makes you so sure that the dog I saw wasn't the one that killed those two men?
00:23:56They were not killed by a dog.
00:23:59Come on, break down.
00:24:01I hate mysteries.
00:24:02Why, I don't even eat hash.
00:24:05Listen, you better sit down again.
00:24:07I just got up.
00:24:09You might as well sit down because what I'm going to tell you is going to knock you down anyway.
00:24:12So, James, just as well relax.
00:24:17See that?
00:24:19Don't tell me you joined the Elks.
00:24:20Oh.
00:24:22That's a dog's tooth.
00:24:24I found it in Hughes' room after he was killed.
00:24:26And get this.
00:24:27That's not the tooth of any live animal.
00:24:31There's no flesh around the end.
00:24:32And the enamel's worn off.
00:24:35What in the world are you driving at?
00:24:36The person that killed those two men
00:24:40used a set of false dog teeth.
00:24:44Say, this is thrilling.
00:24:46Boy, can I use this.
00:24:54Sugar?
00:25:04Harrison always liked coffee.
00:25:06Oh, come on, Gloria.
00:25:08Snap out of it.
00:25:09I wish I could.
00:25:10You have nothing to worry about.
00:25:12All the windows are locked.
00:25:13That's not going to do any good.
00:25:15It's closer than that.
00:25:19I can feel destruction.
00:25:22Near me.
00:25:23Well, drink your coffee, my dear.
00:25:25I'm sure it will make you feel better.
00:25:27Now, remember what I told you.
00:25:28The first thing we've got to do
00:25:29is to find a motive.
00:25:31Well, I don't think it's up here.
00:25:33Oh, you're impossible.
00:25:35Come on, five and ten cents store detective.
00:25:39This is certainly grand coffee, Mrs. Jameson.
00:25:44How do you feel now?
00:25:46All right.
00:25:53Well, you're just in time.
00:25:56I hope you don't mind my inviting strangers
00:25:58to your party, Mrs. Jameson.
00:26:00Why, not at all.
00:26:01Bert, bring two more cups.
00:26:03Yes, sir.
00:26:05Well, I see you've pulled yourself together.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09Yes, I was a little upset myself.
00:26:12And how do you feel?
00:26:13Oh, never mind.
00:26:14I have a rough idea how you feel.
00:26:17You can joke if you want to.
00:26:19Before this night is over,
00:26:20you'll wish you never came here.
00:26:23Say,
00:26:24what do you think I'm having, a picnic?
00:26:28Oh, thank you, Bert.
00:26:37That must be Wentworth.
00:26:39Maybe it's the justice of the peace.
00:26:59Oh, thank heaven you're here.
00:27:01We thought maybe you had an accident or something.
00:27:03Glad to see you, Wentworth.
00:27:05Sorry if I'm late, Mason,
00:27:07but I left just as soon as I got your wire.
00:27:10You received a message from me?
00:27:13Why, yes.
00:27:15There's something queer going on around here.
00:27:18We all received wires to meet you here.
00:27:20That's right.
00:27:21And they were signed Wentworth.
00:27:25It's a trick, Mason.
00:27:27It's a trick.
00:27:29It's a trick.
00:27:29Well, where's Harrison and Hughes?
00:27:32They're dead.
00:27:34What?
00:27:35Yes.
00:27:38I knew this would happen.
00:27:40What happened?
00:27:43Where are you, Jimmy?
00:27:44Here I am.
00:27:45Get all of my hand.
00:27:46What's going on here?
00:27:47Must be a fuse burned out.
00:27:49I hope you're right.
00:28:02Oh, now what?
00:28:04There's nothing to worry about.
00:28:07Much.
00:28:08Oh, now don't tell me that's a canary.
00:28:17Stay right here.
00:28:19Jimmy!
00:28:21Jimmy!
00:28:22Jimmy!
00:28:42Hello, boy.
00:28:44You want to get in where it's warm?
00:28:46Yes, but you want to help me find out who's blaming you for these killings?
00:28:50Huh?
00:28:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:28:52Let's see, Mother.
00:28:54If I can find a piece of rope.
00:29:05Oh.
00:29:07This is better.
00:29:09Oh.
00:29:33Jimmy!
00:29:35Jimmy!
00:29:41Oh, Jimmy, if this is a gag, I'll break your neck.
00:29:56Who is she?
00:30:15Can't you fix these lights?
00:30:17This darkness is driving me mad.
00:30:33It's little Jimmy Kelly, and I've caught the killer.
00:30:37Oh, I could break your neck.
00:30:39Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:30:58Say, how did you manage to get a hold of him?
00:31:01I found him up there by that shed.
00:31:02He's a wild baby, all right, but I don't think he'll cause us any more trouble now.
00:31:05I'll say he won't.
00:31:08Are you sure this is the dog we want?
00:31:11Positively.
00:31:12I saw him in Harrison's room.
00:31:14You killer.
00:31:19This is the animal that killed Harrison and Hughes.
00:31:23Have you got a gun?
00:31:24No.
00:31:25Well, Hughes had one.
00:31:28Don't go in there, Mr. Mason.
00:31:31Why not?
00:31:33He's dead.
00:31:35Well, that is news.
00:32:02He sure wants to get rid of this dog.
00:32:05But I can't understand why Jameson said he was part wolf.
00:32:10I think I got the motive.
00:32:11What is it?
00:32:13Revenge.
00:32:14Revenge of what and by whom?
00:32:19Well, I didn't get that far, but...
00:32:30Huh?
00:32:31What are you harming me for?
00:32:33Well, didn't you say something?
00:32:35No.
00:32:36Oh, I must have been hearing things.
00:32:38You're beginning to get warnings.
00:32:40Just like I did.
00:32:46Oh.
00:32:46They must have paid their light bill.
00:32:49You know, there's something that I'm going to train you to do after we get married.
00:32:53What's that?
00:32:54Keep quiet.
00:32:57I guess Mason's having trouble finding that gun.
00:33:00I'll give him a hand.
00:33:01Yeah, and hurry it up.
00:33:13Something's happened to Mason.
00:33:20Hold that dog.
00:33:21Get that dog.
00:33:30He's dead all right.
00:33:31He killed the same way as the others.
00:33:33But that's impossible.
00:33:34The dog was in there, muzzled.
00:33:37And it wasn't the dog.
00:33:38How could it be?
00:33:39You're right.
00:33:40These men were killed by a human
00:33:42who in some way used dog's teeth in order to throw the suspicion off of himself.
00:33:46I've known this for an hour.
00:33:48I suspected Mason as being the guilty person.
00:33:51I tried to trap him.
00:33:54I'll have to ask you all to line up in the next room.
00:33:56What right of you to tell us what to do?
00:33:59He's a detective.
00:34:00Or something.
00:34:01Come on.
00:34:02Line up in the next room.
00:34:03And who are you?
00:34:04I'm something, too.
00:34:06You'll hurt her.
00:34:16Now, I'll have to take charge.
00:34:18We all know this animal didn't kill anybody.
00:34:21Let him loose.
00:34:23Well, this is terrible.
00:34:25I don't know what to do.
00:34:27Why, we may all be killed.
00:34:29Probably the killer's in this room right now.
00:34:32Where's the nearest telephone around here?
00:34:34The gas station about two miles down the road.
00:34:36I want you to phone as quickly as you can and have the police come here.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:41Hey, and bring the coroner along, too.
00:34:44All right, folks.
00:34:46Line up.
00:34:47Let's do this thing systematically.
00:34:51What's the idea?
00:34:52If anybody's got any guns on them around here, I want to know where they are.
00:34:56You frisk the ladies.
00:34:57Right.
00:34:58But there hasn't been any gunplay.
00:35:00No, there isn't going to be any.
00:35:02All right, fellas.
00:35:05Don't you think it was a bad idea to send that man for the police?
00:35:08I'll ask all the questions, my friend.
00:35:10Come on, Pollyanna.
00:35:12And I hope you're not ticklish.
00:35:18Please, Mrs. Jameson.
00:35:31Come on, Pollyanna.
00:35:34My, my.
00:35:35You should reduce.
00:35:38I'm sorry.
00:35:42I don't suppose you could get out of that chair.
00:35:46I could if you would help me.
00:35:48Surely.
00:36:03All right.
00:36:05All right.
00:36:19You understand?
00:36:21Certainly.
00:36:24I'm as anxious to have this murderer caught as you are.
00:36:29Maybe more so.
00:36:32I wouldn't have a chance to fight for my life.
00:36:35There, there.
00:36:35Mr. Jameson, don't excite yourself.
00:36:37Now that we've exposed the killer's methods, maybe he won't strike again.
00:36:41Let us hope not.
00:36:48Where do you keep your guest registered?
00:36:50I'm a hotel desk.
00:36:51Well, that's kind of natural.
00:36:56How am I doing, babe?
00:37:00Harrison's from Philadelphia, Hughes from Portland, Mason from Chicago, and Gloria Roloff from Mexico City.
00:37:09Why did you tell me there was a copper here?
00:37:12We didn't know it ourselves till a few minutes before you arrived.
00:37:14We have no way of warning you.
00:37:17It's all clear to me now.
00:37:19He's the one that sent us those wires.
00:37:21That's possible.
00:37:23But it still doesn't account for the murders.
00:37:26No.
00:37:27They're from all parts of the country.
00:37:29Well, maybe it's a convention.
00:37:38Come here, you three.
00:37:47Sit down.
00:37:48I want to ask you people a few questions.
00:37:51Well, what's on your mind?
00:37:53Tell me, how did it happen that six people, you and the three men that were murdered, got here at
00:37:57practically the same time?
00:38:00Well, it might have been a coincidence.
00:38:02That's right, but it wasn't.
00:38:04This isn't the tourist season.
00:38:05Matter of fact, there hasn't been a guest in this tavern for two weeks.
00:38:08Now, just a minute.
00:38:10Are you trying to solve this mystery or pin something on us?
00:38:14Both.
00:38:15I have a hunch that you and your party came here with one definite purpose.
00:38:20If you wouldn't mind telling me who suggested this place to you, we might be able to clear this whole
00:38:24situation up.
00:38:25Well, I got a message from Harrison and this gentleman here.
00:38:30I thought you only knew Harrison slightly.
00:38:33That's my business.
00:38:34Maybe so.
00:38:35It might interest you to know that whoever got you here, got you here with one idea in mind.
00:38:41And what was that?
00:38:42To kill you all.
00:38:45I knew it.
00:38:48I knew it.
00:38:49So, you see, gentlemen, the only way for you to help yourselves is to come clean.
00:38:55We'll do anything we can to help you.
00:38:57Why, certainly.
00:38:57Of course we will.
00:38:59Now, gentlemen, that we understand each other, is there anyone you know who would want to put you out of
00:39:04the way?
00:39:04That is, individually.
00:39:06Or, shall we say, as a gang?
00:39:10No.
00:39:12Take a look through the luggage, kid.
00:39:14Maybe you can find a clue.
00:39:15Mrs. Jameson.
00:39:15Yes?
00:39:17Would you mind going with her, please?
00:39:19Why, certainly not.
00:39:21Let's go.
00:39:29I'm not much on this detective business, but if it's true that somebody planned to get these people here to
00:39:34kill them,
00:39:35then there are only three people who can be considered suspects.
00:39:39And those are myself, my wife, and Bert.
00:39:43Surely you have servants around this place.
00:39:46Yes, we have two maids, but they left shortly after dinner.
00:39:48How do you know they didn't come back?
00:39:50Just a minute.
00:39:51What was your idea?
00:39:53He could have done it.
00:39:54He could have even cut the telephone wires.
00:39:57But I didn't.
00:39:58Mr. Jameson didn't say that you did.
00:40:00He said that you could have.
00:40:02And how do we know that Hughes wasn't killed until after this man went into his room?
00:40:08What?
00:40:12Well, I could have done it, too.
00:40:15I was just getting around to that.
00:40:21Perhaps it's in the closet.
00:40:23Yep.
00:40:23We'll soon find out if that gal brought any of her secrets with her.
00:40:29Oh, I'm tired of all this.
00:40:30I'm leaving.
00:40:31Oh, you're not.
00:40:31One of Mr. Jameson's three guesses might be right.
00:40:34Well, I can clear myself easily enough.
00:40:36The bus driver can verify that I...
00:40:37You're staying just the same.
00:40:39Stay.
00:40:41You could be the guy that's doing the dirty work.
00:40:43I've heard a phony detectives before.
00:40:45Wait a minute.
00:40:47Now, let's try and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:49Would you folks mind telling me what racket you're in?
00:41:03Chances are all we'll find is a deck of cards.
00:41:07This is one time it won't do you any good not to talk.
00:41:10Ah!
00:41:22Why, you...
00:41:28Come on, let's get out of here.
00:41:38It's locked.
00:41:40We can get out of one of the windows.
00:41:41Well, let's hurry.
00:41:42Hurry.
00:41:58Well, we can't get out of here.
00:42:01There's no bars on the windows in Harrison's room.
00:42:03Where is it?
00:42:04Follow me.
00:42:17Where are you?
00:42:18Get out of the window!
00:42:22There is a trap to kill us all.
00:42:24Wait a minute.
00:42:25Maybe that detective can help us.
00:42:27We'll try it.
00:42:32Oh, we're caged like a bunch of rats.
00:42:34Oh, I owe you some.
00:42:36Wait a minute, buddy.
00:42:37Now, hold it.
00:42:38Now, just a minute.
00:42:39We made a mistake.
00:42:40We shouldn't have done it.
00:42:41Your life is just as much danger as ours.
00:42:43Listen to me, will you?
00:42:44The door's bolted.
00:42:45All the wind is a barred.
00:42:45We're going to die, all of us.
00:42:47You've got to help us.
00:42:48Somebody's got to help us.
00:42:49Come on, buddy.
00:42:50I don't see what I can do.
00:42:52Oh, we've made enemies.
00:42:53Lots of them.
00:42:54We've been smuggling jewels across the border.
00:42:57Oh, I see.
00:43:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:43:21Jewel thieves.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:25Oh, why, look.
00:43:27Here's one as big as a hen's egg.
00:43:29Boy, I'd like to be able to find the hen that could lay that egg.
00:43:40Well, at least we know what their racket is.
00:43:43Can't you think of some person or persons that would want to get you out of the way?
00:43:48How about that guy that accidentally fell off the truck about a year ago?
00:43:51You know, he blamed us.
00:43:52Oh, no.
00:43:53We took care of him.
00:44:04Mrs. Jameson, I'd like to ask you a question.
00:44:06Yes, what is it?
00:44:08Did you build this place?
00:44:09No.
00:44:10Mm-hmm.
00:44:12Why?
00:44:12Why do you ask?
00:44:14Well, from what these people tell me, it was constructed for just such a situation as this.
00:44:18Well, I don't understand.
00:44:20Every window in this place is barred.
00:44:23I can't believe that.
00:44:28Oh, Jimmy.
00:44:29What is it?
00:44:32Come here a minute, will you?
00:44:35I'll show you.
00:44:39Jimmy.
00:44:41I want to talk to you.
00:44:43What is it?
00:44:45I've got a clue.
00:44:46You have?
00:44:47Uh-huh.
00:44:48They're jewel smugglers.
00:44:51You're terrific.
00:44:53I'll still show you.
00:45:03There you are.
00:45:05Why?
00:45:05I can't understand it.
00:45:11There you are.
00:45:58I've got to see you.
00:46:00Oh, please don't bother me. Can't you see I'm in enough trouble?
00:46:03From whom did you buy this place?
00:46:06Why, we read it from a Mr. Morgan. He's the owner.
00:46:09Oh, Jimmy, look.
00:46:10Oh, please, hush.
00:46:12What kind of a man is this Morgan?
00:46:14Very odd. He wears large spectacles.
00:46:18He's an inventor, a scientist.
00:46:20When did you see him last?
00:46:21Well, that's strange, but we haven't seen him since the day we took the place.
00:46:26Neither he nor a representative have called to collect the rent.
00:46:29Would you know where to reach him?
00:46:31No, he said he'd get in touch with us.
00:46:35Got another clue?
00:46:36Yes.
00:46:37Well, keep it.
00:46:43Do you know a man by the name of Morgan?
00:46:46Morgan?
00:46:47Yes, I know several men by the name of Morgan.
00:46:50One of them was an inventor.
00:46:51We financed him.
00:46:53Would there be any reason for this man wanting to kill you?
00:46:55No.
00:46:57That is, if I...
00:46:58Jimmy, I must see you.
00:46:59Well, take a good look.
00:47:01This is important.
00:47:08What's the big idea?
00:47:10I think Jameson is the man we want.
00:47:13For what?
00:47:14Listen, Jimmy.
00:47:15I saw him get out of his chair and walk.
00:47:18Oh, why didn't you tell me?
00:47:20What do you think I've been trailing you around for?
00:47:23Exercise?
00:47:24Oh, stop clowning.
00:47:26Are you sure you saw him walk?
00:47:27Positive.
00:47:28I always thought there was something phony about that guy.
00:47:32Where's his room?
00:47:41Did you want to see me?
00:47:54Why, uh, yes.
00:47:56Uh, uh, Mr. Jameson, I, uh, I've been thinking over what you said about those three out there,
00:48:02and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you didn't come pretty close to hitting the nail on the head.
00:48:06I'm going to question them further, and I'd like to have you give me a hand.
00:48:09You can watch their reactions.
00:48:12I'd be glad to help.
00:48:19Now, let's get back to this Morgan fellow.
00:48:21How long is it since you've seen him?
00:48:23Oh, about six months.
00:48:26That was about the time you took this place, wasn't it, Mr. Jameson?
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:40What do you think?
00:48:54What's it saying?
00:49:56Did this Morgan fellow make any threats against you?
00:49:59No, not exactly.
00:50:04Mrs. Jameson, could I have a glass of water, please?
00:50:14Why, certainly.
00:50:15I'll take these things out, too.
00:50:22Did you find anything?
00:50:30Give.
00:50:42Here's something that belongs to you.
00:50:43It's the dog's head.
00:50:45Where did you find that?
00:50:46Don't you remember where you put it?
00:50:49There must be some mistake.
00:50:51Oh, he can't be the killer.
00:50:52That's what you think.
00:50:54You mean, you suspect me of these crimes?
00:50:58Yes.
00:51:00But, but I'm a helpless invalid.
00:51:03I can't even get out of this chair.
00:51:05That's what we thought.
00:51:06But I saw you get out of that chair and walk.
00:51:09Why did you kill Harrison, Hughes, and Mason?
00:51:11Why do you want to kill us?
00:51:12Release us from here.
00:51:13Let us out.
00:51:15Come on, confess.
00:51:20I'm the man you want.
00:51:22I killed him.
00:51:23I wanted to kill all of you, too.
00:51:27You what?
00:51:29I'm the murderer.
00:51:31I can't believe it.
00:51:33It's true.
00:51:34I thought I could get away with it.
00:51:37You see?
00:51:38I can walk.
00:51:51And I've got strength in my hands, too.
00:51:54I put it on like this.
00:51:57And then I go over their throat.
00:51:58Stop him.
00:51:59He's killing him, Dylan.
00:51:59Take it easy.
00:52:00Not so fast.
00:52:17I'm sorry, now.
00:52:20I guess I was mad with hatred.
00:52:24Take me away.
00:52:27I'm your man.
00:52:30Why did you do this?
00:52:33You wouldn't understand.
00:52:36Get that rope over there.
00:52:38We'll tie his hands up until the police come.
00:52:40Why did you commit these crimes?
00:52:41Why?
00:52:46Well, what do you care?
00:52:48I've confessed, haven't I?
00:53:18There's not much I can say.
00:53:21But I really feel sorry for you.
00:53:47I've commented on like this.
00:53:48But that's what you care.
00:53:52But I'm out of here.
00:53:53I saw you do that, since the police come.
00:53:53I slipped on McCutlin loaded, y'all look out.
00:53:58How did I put this thing?
00:53:59Why did you floor me?
00:53:59I assumed my hands up.
00:54:00I was lying as soon as the police come.
00:54:03And I was happening.
00:54:04Yes, you look like that.
00:54:06Although I shot those carricks,
00:54:07what do you mean?
00:54:07I'm not looking for a job.
00:54:08That's true.
00:54:13What do you realize about my hair?
00:54:50It certainly is tough on Mrs. Jameson.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54But I'm sure glad we caught him.
00:55:06You've done a swell job, honey.
00:55:08I'm kind of proud of you.
00:55:10Gee, it's nice to hear you say that, Jimmy.
00:55:14I wonder who he's trying to cover up.
00:55:18Who?
00:55:19Jameson.
00:55:21What are you talking about?
00:55:23He's not guilty.
00:55:27If he was, he'd know why he committed those crimes, wouldn't he?
00:55:35Yeah, I guess so.
00:55:41Wait a minute.
00:55:43Wait a minute.
00:55:44Wait a minute.
00:55:59Wait a minute.
00:56:00Wait a minute.
00:56:02Wait a minute.
00:56:04Wait a minute.
00:56:04Wait a minute.
00:56:05Wait a minute.
00:56:06Wait a minute.
00:56:07Wait a minute.
00:56:08Wait a minute.
00:56:08Wait a minute.
00:56:09Wait a minute.
00:56:09Wait a minute.
00:56:10Wait a minute.
00:56:10Wait a minute.
00:56:11Wait a minute.
00:56:11Wait a minute.
00:56:12Wait a minute.
01:04:43Tell me what's going on around here.
01:04:49Look!
01:04:51Say your prayers.
01:04:53Your time on this earth is limited to seconds.
01:04:58All of you must die.
01:05:02In this life that you are about to leave,
01:05:07the innocent must suffer.
01:05:11Yes, just like I have suffered.
01:05:15You're insane.
01:05:17If I am, Wentworth and his crowd have made me so.
01:05:22You didn't think you'd have to answer to me, did you?
01:05:28I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:30You wouldn't.
01:05:32You're very clever,
01:05:34but you're not as resourceful as the person fired with vengeance.
01:05:38The desire to right a great wrong.
01:05:42Give us a chance, Mrs. Jameson.
01:05:46Give you a chance.
01:05:48You didn't give Helen Armstrong a chance, did you?
01:05:53Helen Armstrong?
01:05:55What has she got to do with your murdering us in cold blood?
01:05:58I've had everything.
01:06:00You framed an innocent young girl to smuggle jewels across the border,
01:06:05and then, rather than face the disgrace of going to prison, she killed herself.
01:06:10From that day, I determined that you were all under sentence of death.
01:06:19And now, now I'm ready to carry out your execution.
01:06:28Helen Armstrong was my sister.
01:06:32When my husband first realized I'd used the dog's teeth to kill,
01:06:38he utilized almost superhuman strength to protect me.
01:06:43He even confessed to my crimes,
01:06:47knowing it was my love for Helen that brought you all here.
01:06:55I want you to look carefully in the ceiling.
01:07:02There you'll see a little glass bomb.
01:07:09All I have to do is to pull this cord.
01:07:14It will drop among you.
01:07:16The panel will close.
01:07:19And you'll be caught like rats in a trap.
01:07:32When you are all dead,
01:07:36I will burn the tavern
01:07:39and destroy all evidence.
01:07:48Oh, pardon, Mrs. Jameson.
01:08:06I wonder what this means.
01:08:08I don't know.
01:08:09It wasn't this way when I left.
01:08:11Yes.
01:08:16Here's a few customers for you.
01:08:19Book her for murder.
01:08:22They're smugglers.
01:08:23Here's a grip full of evidence.
01:08:25I'm sorry it took me so long, but...
01:08:28Right this way, coroner.
01:08:29Pardon me, but I'm the justice of the peace.
01:08:32Why, how are you, justice?
01:08:33Glad to see you.
01:08:34I thought you told me to get a justice of the peace.
01:08:38If I'm not greatly mistaken,
01:08:40we did want to see this gentleman.
01:08:42Why, sure, that's what we came here for.
01:08:49Step into the church.
01:08:52Do your stuff, justice.
01:08:53Do you take this woman to be your lawful wife?
01:08:55I do.
01:08:56You take this man to be your lawful wife?
01:08:59I then declare you a man and wife.
01:09:02That's done.
01:09:03You take this man's place.
01:09:04Come and be your lawful wife.
01:09:09If I'm not the judge!
01:09:11Come and be your lawful wife.
01:09:11Come and be your lawful wife.
01:09:11My son, please.
01:09:12I am not be your lawful wife.
01:09:13Should I be your lawful wife?
01:09:13I am not be my lawful wife.
01:09:17That's what you say.
01:09:17I am not be your lawful wife.
