00:01:07The End
00:01:21Oh, Stimson, thank you for keeping up and so late to take care of us.
00:01:24Oh, that's quite all right, sir.
00:01:25This gun is an excellent selection, Mr. Holmes.
00:01:28You ought to get plenty of grouse.
00:01:29Grouse?
00:01:30The little bird's not worth the trouble of eating after you shoot them.
00:01:32You wait till you hook into your first salmon, old boy.
00:01:34Well, might you have everything at Baker Street first thing in the morning, Stimson,
00:01:37because if we're not in Scotland by the time the salmon stop running,
00:01:40the fish will hold Dr. Watson personally responsible.
00:01:42I'll have everything at your rooms first thing in the morning.
00:01:44Good night.
00:01:45Good night, sir.
00:01:46Good night, sir.
00:01:46Good night.
00:01:46Good night.
00:01:47Good night.
00:01:47Ah, Scotland.
00:01:49I shall be here to get away from this place.
00:01:51The smell of heather after the rain,
00:01:53the crisp night air,
00:01:54with the stars shining clear in the sky.
00:01:56Bury in the bush with stars to see.
00:01:58Bread I dip in the river.
00:01:59There's the life for a man like me.
00:02:01There's the life forever.
00:02:02Huh?
00:02:04Robert Louis Stevenson.
00:02:05The Treasure Island, fella?
00:02:07Yes, and many other lovely islands too, Watson.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:15Ah, so the old girl has lost her emeralds, eh?
00:02:17Now, Holmes, you promise?
00:02:18No more cases until her holiday's over.
00:02:22Don't worry, old fellow.
00:02:23I was just thinking she's well rid of her emeralds.
00:02:25Green was never a very becoming colour to the old trout.
00:02:27I say, you've got your paper, sir.
00:02:30I'm afraid you're mistaken.
00:02:31No mistake.
00:02:32I saw you drop it.
00:02:33You've just been told, sir, that you've made a mistake.
00:02:35But it is the gentleman's paper, sir.
00:02:37Be your feel, my good man.
00:02:38Mr. Holmes told you that he didn't have a paper.
00:02:40Yes, but I was quite wrong.
00:02:41I'm so sorry.
00:02:42That is my paper.
00:02:51There are times, Holmes,
00:02:53when your behaviour is utterly inexplicable.
00:02:55Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
00:02:58May I recommend a visit, gentlemen?
00:03:01A visit where, sir?
00:03:02The best fish and chips in London.
00:03:04Fish and chips?
00:03:05I never eat fish and chips.
00:03:06My friend doesn't eat fish and chips.
00:03:08We loathe fish and chips.
00:03:09I come to think of it, old fellow,
00:03:10some fish and chips might go very well just now.
00:03:12Thank you for your suggestion, sir.
00:03:14Come on, Watson.
00:03:14Fish and chips, filthy stuff.
00:03:16I wish you'd brought our cat.
00:03:17Oh, oh, oh.
00:03:37Good evening, gentlemen.
00:03:39Good evening.
00:03:40Good evening.
00:03:41May I suggest, uh, that, sir?
00:03:47Two and six.
00:03:49No, I think I'll have some fish and chips.
00:03:51And you, sir?
00:03:52Just a minute.
00:03:53Sorry, dear.
00:03:54We serve the best fish and chips in London, sir.
00:03:57Make it two, will you?
00:03:58I think I'll have an order of the...
00:04:01Oh, go on.
00:04:03I ordered for both of us.
00:04:04What did you order for me?
00:04:05Fish and chips.
00:04:06Fish and chips.
00:04:08Nice place you brought me to, I must say.
00:04:13I say, take a look at this fishbowl.
00:04:15Where?
00:04:16Right in my soup.
00:04:17A fine thing.
00:04:18It might have stuck in my throat.
00:04:20Just a moment.
00:04:22Fishbowls.
00:04:23I'd rather eat in a nally.
00:04:24Go and eat in a nally, then.
00:04:26That's where you probably belong.
00:04:36I don't know yet.
00:04:39Something definitely is.
00:04:43Fishbowls.
00:04:44The fellow probably was right.
00:04:46Looks like something one might find in an nally.
00:04:49That's it.
00:04:50What's it?
00:04:51Fishbone nally, of course.
00:04:52Oh, what's the price got to do with it?
00:04:54It's not the price.
00:04:55It's the numerals.
00:04:56Two, six, number 29.
00:04:58Number 26, Fishbowl nally.
00:05:00Everything these last few minutes has been directed towards giving us that address.
00:05:03Oh, come, Holmes.
00:05:04Who on earth will go to all that trouble?
00:05:07Duchess's photograph.
00:05:09Duchess Rooktell's house, Barclay Square.
00:05:13About eight o'clock last night.
00:05:18I've got it.
00:05:19Eight o'clock.
00:05:19But you said you weren't interested in the old Trout's emeralds.
00:05:22I'm not.
00:05:22I'm not.
00:05:23You've just been invited rather securitously.
00:05:25I've meant to appear at number 26 Fishbone Alley at eight o'clock tonight.
00:05:28You've got a mumbo-jumbo, if you ask me.
00:05:30There's probably no such place as Fishbone Alley.
00:05:32Oh, yes, there is.
00:05:33It's off Mount Street.
00:05:347.45.
00:05:35We've just got time before we walk briskly.
00:05:38Good night, Duffy.
00:05:41Look, look here, Holmes.
00:05:43You aren't thinking of going there, are you?
00:05:45Naturally.
00:05:45Someone must want to see us rather badly to have gone to all that trouble.
00:05:48But hang it on.
00:05:48It may be a trap.
00:05:49Well, if it is, at least it promises to be an interesting one.
00:06:04Sinister-looking place.
00:06:17See that?
00:06:22They're not expecting us.
00:06:34Look, I've got Holmes.
00:06:35Careful.
00:06:58Won't you go in, gentlemen?
00:07:08Please forgive the somewhat odd way in which we've summoned you, Mr. Holmes.
00:07:12No, that wasn't genius.
00:07:14I'm sure you must have a reason.
00:07:16Briefly.
00:07:17Today, we wish to engage your services to take someone from England and deliver him to a place we shall
00:07:22designate.
00:07:24And the name of this person?
00:07:26That I am not at liberty to divulge.
00:07:29Gentlemen, I'm not accustomed to working in the dark.
00:07:31I bid you good night.
00:07:31Mr. Holmes.
00:07:33One moment, please.
00:07:36We are prepared to pay any sum you name, Mr. Holmes.
00:07:39I assure you, this is a matter of international importance.
00:07:43My dear, sir, I realized that when I encountered the Prime Minister of Rovinia lurking outside an oyster bar in
00:07:48Soho,
00:07:48apparently for the sole purpose of stimulating my appetite for fish and chips.
00:07:52You deserve your reputation, sir.
00:07:54I take that you brought me here on a matter pertaining to the death of his majesty, King Stefan, in
00:08:00an automobile accident last week.
00:08:01His majesty was not killed in an automobile accident, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:06He was assassinated.
00:08:08It's a great loss to the whole democratic world.
00:08:11Won't you sit down, Mr. Holmes?
00:08:14Roger.
00:08:23Permit me, gentlemen, to introduce my colleagues, Anton Petzval and Matthias Tcherny.
00:08:29How do you do?
00:08:29My associate, Dr. Watson.
00:08:31How do you do, dear?
00:08:31How do you do?
00:08:32Mr. Holmes.
00:08:35And Dr. Watson.
00:08:37Thank you, sir.
00:08:37A glass of wine, gentlemen?
00:08:39No, thank you.
00:08:39Oh, no, thank you.
00:08:42For several years now, a powerful group has been seeking to gain control of Romania for personal gain.
00:08:50The assassination of his majesty was their first step in that direction.
00:08:54It is to prevent the second step that we have sent for you.
00:08:57For the sake of our people, it is imperative that King Stefan's son, Nicholas, be returned safely to his country.
00:09:05Is he here in England?
00:09:06Oh, yes. His majesty has been educated at one of your public schools.
00:09:10A wise move, sir.
00:09:11Sir, I'm very certain.
00:09:12Do you feel that you yourselves are unequal to your task?
00:09:14We are up against a clever and ruthless group to whom we are all well known.
00:09:19Are they aware of his majesty's identity?
00:09:21Oh, no.
00:09:21No one knows but ourselves.
00:09:24His majesty was brought to England as a child incognito.
00:09:28Have you made any plans for his return to Romania?
00:09:30We have a plan in readiness to leave tonight.
00:09:33However, several stops will be necessary en route.
00:09:36And at any one of these stops, his majesty's life may be attempted.
00:09:40Mr. Holmes, for the sake not only of our country, but for liberty and good government everywhere, we implore you
00:09:48to undertake this mission.
00:09:50Now, Holmes, you gave me your promise.
00:09:51You need a rest, you know.
00:09:52You've not been up the mark lately.
00:09:54I'm afraid we'll have to postpone our holiday, Watson.
00:09:55But think of your health.
00:09:57Sorry, old fellow.
00:10:00Gentlemen, in the interest of democratic government, I shall be happy to do my utmost to see that his majesty
00:10:05reaches Rovinia in safety.
00:10:07Oui.
00:10:08Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:09Now, we are to leave tonight.
00:10:11Time is short, and there are certain precautionary measures that I should like to discuss with you.
00:10:15What's not, fellow?
00:10:16Come along.
00:10:16Will you excuse us?
00:10:17Come along, old chap.
00:10:18I suggest that you return to Baker Street, pack a bag, and have a car ready to take us to
00:10:23the plane.
00:10:24Holmes, I don't like the whole business.
00:10:26Oh, don't get lost.
00:10:26Lost and I'll be lost.
00:10:27No, no, don't get lost.
00:10:28I'll see you later.
00:10:29The whole night.
00:10:30Now, gentlemen, may I have your attention?
00:10:36Certainly a forsaken spot for an airfield.
00:10:41Certainly is.
00:10:42I feel like one of the babes in the wood.
00:10:46Look out, Holmes.
00:10:47Who's there?
00:10:48I imagine we've reached our destination.
00:10:57Everything is ready, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:59Follow me.
00:11:12Your Highness, may I present Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:11:16How do you do, sir?
00:11:16And Dr. Watson.
00:11:18How do you do, sir?
00:11:19Delighted to meet you, gentlemen.
00:11:21I appreciate your kindness in undertaking this mission.
00:11:23Oh, no doubt, sir.
00:11:25I am sorry, Dr. Watson, but I am afraid you will not be able to accompany Mr. Holmes after all.
00:11:31The plane we had expected to use developed engine trouble.
00:11:35And this, as you see, is only a three-seater.
00:11:38Well, just a minute, sir.
00:11:39Where Holmes goes, I go too.
00:11:41Well, I know, I know, but...
00:11:43Well, first we lose our holiday, and now this.
00:11:45I don't like your going off alone, Holmes.
00:11:47I don't like it at all.
00:11:48Come, my Watson.
00:11:49Whatever we must do in a good cause must be done.
00:11:51Look here.
00:11:53Ravinia isn't very far from the Mediterranean, and it has some excellent fishing.
00:11:57Why don't you take a boat?
00:11:58I'll meet you there, and we'll have a holiday after all.
00:12:00Come to think of it, there's a boat sailing for the Mediterranean tomorrow.
00:12:03The Friesland, Swedish-Africa line, cargo and passenger.
00:12:05I have some influence with the director.
00:12:07Oh, that's very kind of you, sir.
00:12:08It's not just that I mind giving up our fishing homes, you know that.
00:12:11But hang it all.
00:12:11I want to be of some use.
00:12:13And you can be, definitely.
00:12:14I can be?
00:12:15Would you excuse us, sir?
00:12:18Okay.
00:12:21Well, see, now.
00:12:23I don't like this convenient accident.
00:12:26Too many people seem to be in on this secret.
00:12:28When our antagonists discover we've separated, it's more than likely you'll be followed.
00:12:32So I want you to make yourself as conspicuous as possible.
00:12:35Decoy, eh?
00:12:37Sort of sitting duck.
00:12:38That's right.
00:12:39Oh, hello.
00:12:39Be on your guard constantly.
00:12:41Be wary of strangers.
00:12:42And whatever you do, don't breathe a word regarding my whereabouts.
00:12:46Don't you worry, Holmes.
00:12:47You can trust me.
00:12:48I know I can.
00:12:49So my mother.
00:12:50We must hurry, Mr. Holmes.
00:13:06I don't like it.
00:13:17I don't like it.
00:13:44Oh, my name's Watson.
00:13:46Dr. Watson.
00:13:47Oh, yes, Dr. Watson.
00:13:49I'm very glad to have you on board, sir.
00:13:51My name is Johansson, the person.
00:13:53Good morning, good morning.
00:13:53May I?
00:13:55Will you take Dr. Watson's baggage to cabin eight, please?
00:13:57Yes, sir.
00:13:58Sandford will be your steward.
00:13:59Good, good.
00:14:00Have you a cabin trunk, sir?
00:14:01Naturally.
00:14:02One doesn't go to the Mediterranean without a change of linen.
00:14:05Quite so, sir.
00:14:06Be careful of those fishing rods, young Fulhamer lad.
00:14:08Very good, sir.
00:14:15Your cabin is very comfortable to be located on the port side of the ship, sir.
00:14:18Good.
00:14:18I hope I've got a nice reading.
00:14:19Excuse me.
00:14:20Purser, has anybody been asking for me?
00:14:22Why, no, Miss Woodbury.
00:14:23Not as far as I know.
00:14:24Oh, may I introduce Dr. Watson, Miss Woodbury?
00:14:27How do you do?
00:14:28How do you do?
00:14:29Miss Woodbury's quite a singer, you know.
00:14:30She will be with us all the way to Alexandria.
00:14:32Oh, splendid.
00:14:33I used to sing a bit myself.
00:14:34Sounds like Loch Lomond and something.
00:14:36Pardon me, sir.
00:14:36You weren't in the lounge.
00:14:37Oh, excuse me.
00:14:38Certainly.
00:14:39You must sing it to me sometime.
00:14:42Is this your first trip to the East, Miss Woodbury?
00:14:44Yes, and I'm tickled to death.
00:14:46American?
00:14:47Brooklyn.
00:14:48Brooklyn?
00:14:48Yes, Brooklyn.
00:14:50I've been wondering, are you the Dr. Watson?
00:14:52Well, I'm Dr. Watson of 221 B Baker Street.
00:14:55The one who is associated with Sherlock Holmes?
00:14:57Well, Holmes and I have been associated on quite a number of cases.
00:15:00Is Mr. Holmes with you this trip?
00:15:02No.
00:15:02As a matter of fact, he's gone.
00:15:03Gone where?
00:15:04Well, he won't be along with us.
00:15:07He's a very busy man.
00:15:08You know, he relies very large on me.
00:15:09Came to see me off the stage.
00:15:11He said, Watson, I should be lost without you.
00:15:13Oh, I'm so sorry he isn't here.
00:15:15You see, I've heard so much about his work.
00:15:17And yours.
00:15:18Oh, perhaps someday you'll let me give you an insight on some of our most interesting cases.
00:15:23Oh, Reggie.
00:15:23Who?
00:15:24Excuse me.
00:15:28Reggie?
00:15:33I was afraid you wouldn't get here in time to see me off.
00:15:36Here you are, Sheila.
00:15:37And try not to lose it again.
00:15:38Heavens, where was it?
00:15:40I thought it was in my cabin.
00:15:41You left it in my office yesterday.
00:15:42Now try to hold on to it.
00:15:43I don't imagine it'd be very easy to replace those arrangements in Alexandria.
00:15:47You can forget your music more often than any singer I've ever managed.
00:15:51I should have a secretary.
00:15:52All ashore.
00:15:53All vistas ashore.
00:15:55That might be a slight hint.
00:15:56Or you'll find Hasson a nice chap to work for.
00:15:58I hope I make good.
00:16:00You will.
00:16:01Good luck.
00:16:03And don't lose it again.
00:16:05Oh, don't worry.
00:16:06I won't let it out of my sight this time.
00:16:08Sorry, sir.
00:16:09You'll have to go ashore now.
00:16:10Goodbye, Reggie.
00:16:11Goodbye, Reggie.
00:16:47I make it a rule to take a three-mile hike before each meal.
00:16:50Keeps one fit.
00:16:51Stimulates the digestion.
00:16:52And a glass of milk.
00:16:54As I was saying, she was in wonderful voice.
00:16:57I shall never forget that last night at the old Adelphia.
00:16:59Pull down now to make way for a cinema.
00:17:02Heartbreaking.
00:17:02Where would we be without the cow, Doctor?
00:17:05The cow?
00:17:06I haven't fainted so dear.
00:17:08I'm sure Mr. Arnold here would be happy to help me in organizing deck games.
00:17:12The shuffle ball, deck tennis, medicine ball.
00:17:16Hiking!
00:17:17Shall I put you down for a three-mile hike before lunch, Doctor Watson?
00:17:20No, thank you very much.
00:17:21I prefer to sit down before my meals, relax and have a glass of sherry.
00:17:26Like Ferdinand the Bull.
00:17:28I am on a holiday.
00:17:31How does that little tune go?
00:17:34Let me see.
00:17:35I'll think of it in a minute.
00:17:38Encourageable.
00:17:39I have it.
00:17:52Then I'll put you down for a three-mile hike before each meal.
00:17:57Yours?
00:17:59Thank you, yes.
00:18:00There's a bag that goes with it.
00:18:07Oh, lunch!
00:18:09There's nothing like salt air to give one an appetite.
00:18:12Don't you agree, Mr. Arnold?
00:18:15So long, Ducky.
00:18:17See you later.
00:18:19Aren't you coming, Doctor Watson?
00:18:20No, my dear.
00:18:21I'll join you later.
00:18:21All right.
00:18:23What would Holmes do?
00:18:31I said sherry, steward.
00:18:37Carrying a revolver.
00:18:39They're suspicious.
00:18:44And I tell you, so long as no one on the boat knows of our mission.
00:18:47Things can't be kept quiet indefinitely.
00:18:49Certain factions are still fanatically loyal to their royal line, you know.
00:18:52For enough money, the people will forget there ever was such a king.
00:18:56And once we have the body...
00:18:57I'll see you later.
00:18:58I'll see you later.
00:19:12I'll see you later.
00:19:17I'll see you later.
00:19:27Shh.
00:19:28You'll see you later.
00:19:30Small gray plain.
00:19:31Two white stripes.
00:19:33No.
00:19:37Can't be true.
00:19:40Holmes.
00:19:43Holmes gone.
00:19:57I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but there's a gentleman quite ill in cabin seven.
00:20:03The captain asked if you'd mind seeing it.
00:20:05No, no, I can't see anyone now.
00:20:07Well, we have no doctor aboard, sir.
00:20:08I've retired from practice.
00:20:10Well, the captain requested it, sir.
00:20:12The captain.
00:20:13Oh, no.
00:20:14Where is he?
00:20:15If you'll just follow me.
00:20:20It's the cabin adjoining yours, sir.
00:20:23Right this way, sir.
00:20:25The doctor is here, sir.
00:20:37Is it serious, doctor?
00:20:39Oh, dear, dear, dear.
00:20:40Can't you see I'm busy?
00:20:47Thank you, Sandler.
00:20:55Holmes.
00:20:56But the wireless said your plane crashed.
00:20:58No survivors.
00:20:59It was shot down, Lawson.
00:21:00I don't understand.
00:21:01I'm terribly sorry, old fellow.
00:21:03I meant you to know the truth at the earliest possible moment.
00:21:07But, uh, as you know, I have a dislike of plans ready made by other people.
00:21:13I have a habit of becoming too widely known.
00:21:15And that, uh, convenient accident at the original plane merely confirmed my suspicions.
00:21:19You mean you intended to take the boat all along?
00:21:20Certainly.
00:21:21I made the arrangements for the Prime Minister while you were at Bake Street packing.
00:21:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:21:26Why let me make a fool of myself?
00:21:28You didn't make a fool of yourself.
00:21:29No one could possibly have known from your manner in coming aboard that our young friend
00:21:34here and I were lying hidden below until the ship sailed.
00:21:38What?
00:21:38Your Majesty?
00:21:40Uh, you mean, uh, your nephew, Nicholas Watson.
00:21:44What?
00:21:46Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, of course, yes, yes, yes, of course.
00:21:48It's my nephew, Nicholas.
00:21:51As I suspected, old fellow, our enemies acted promptly and ruthlessly and it's only a matter of time
00:21:58until they find the wreckage of the plane and discover that we're not on it.
00:22:01Well, that may explain something, Holmes.
00:22:03There's a woman on board who, who carries a revolver and a handbag.
00:22:07She calls herself Dunham, Miss Agatha Dunham.
00:22:10If she is a she, from the look of her, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a man dressed up.
00:22:14Oh, it's not very uncommon for a woman travelling alone to carry a revolver?
00:22:16Yes, but there's another thing, Holmes.
00:22:18I just had a very suspicious conversation between two men in the smoking room.
00:22:21Something about a fanatical faction and the body of a king.
00:22:26Oh.
00:22:30I had hoped my strategy might give us breathing space for a day or two.
00:22:34What do you propose to do, Holmes?
00:22:37I, uh, I've made arrangements to hand Nicholas over to his friends in Algiers.
00:22:42The ship's first stop.
00:22:43They have the means to ensure the completion of this journey in safety.
00:22:45After which you and Dr. Watson will be able to continue with your interrupted holiday.
00:22:49After which we shall both need some relaxation.
00:22:52From the look of it, old fellow, you've already started it.
00:22:55What do you mean, Holmes?
00:22:56Along the lines of relaxation, I mean.
00:22:59Brunette, young, beautiful.
00:23:02Well, as a matter of fact, you're right, but how do you know?
00:23:06Brunettes. And I pay sufficient credit to your good taste.
00:23:10To take the beautiful for granted.
00:23:16Now, if a girl and boy should meet, would you think it inscreet?
00:23:21If they had a friendly chat, I'm sure you'd find there isn't any harm in that.
00:23:47He holds your hand. He thinks you're grand.
00:23:55Love takes command.
00:23:57Before he's through, it's I love you.
00:24:06Now, if a girl should lose her head, and the boy and girl should wed, and they take a furnished
00:24:13flat, so what? That's fate. There isn't any harm in that.
00:24:23Delightful.
00:24:24Delightful.
00:24:24Perfectly delightful.
00:24:25Now, how about that surprise you said you had for me?
00:24:27Oh, you'll see in time.
00:24:28But first of all, you must keep your promise.
00:24:31You said you'd sing Flow Gently Sweet Afton for me.
00:24:34Oh, all right. If you really want me to.
00:24:36Oh, of course I do.
00:24:37I wonder if you'd hand me my music case, please.
00:24:40Oh, there it is.
00:24:45Why, sir, I'm so sorry.
00:24:47Oh, no, that's all right.
00:24:48I didn't hurt you.
00:24:49No, no.
00:24:51Ah.
00:24:53Here is my surprise.
00:24:56May I introduce my nephew, Mr. Nicholas Watson.
00:24:59How do you do?
00:25:00How do you do?
00:25:01And my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:25:05How do you do?
00:25:06Oh.
00:25:08I...
00:25:09Excuse me.
00:25:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:15Excuse me.
00:25:18Really, Watson, I've never thought of myself as handsome.
00:25:20That's the first time in my life that a woman has run away at the sight of me.
00:25:23But hang it all, Holmes, something must be wrong.
00:25:26Obviously.
00:25:27Can I have a sherry?
00:25:27Please.
00:25:28No, Hank.
00:25:29Had you told her that I was on board?
00:25:31No, no.
00:25:31I just told her tonight that I had a surprise for her.
00:25:34Seems to be rather an understatement.
00:25:36Two sherrys, please.
00:25:37Yes, sir.
00:25:37I don't understand it, Holmes.
00:25:39She seems such a nice girl.
00:25:40She sings charmingly.
00:25:42My dear fellow, musical talent is hardly evidence of innocence.
00:25:45As a matter of fact, the late Professor Moriarty was a virtuoso on the bassoon.
00:25:52Incidentally,
00:25:53I'm sorry.
00:25:54Under no circumstances,
00:25:57it's Nicholas to be left alone at any time or for any reason.
00:26:01Well, what are you going to do, Holmes?
00:26:03At the moment, nothing.
00:26:05I shall leave the first move to my antagonists.
00:26:07Cheers.
00:26:21Good morning, everybody.
00:26:23Good morning, my dear.
00:26:24Not that it is too very good morning.
00:26:26Well, at least it's mysterious and attractive.
00:26:28Not all dirty and sinister like a London fog.
00:26:32The lasted noise.
00:26:34You kept me awake half the night.
00:26:35Oh, that's too bad.
00:26:37Would you be interested in a stroll around the deck?
00:26:40I'd like to.
00:26:40Well, come along, then.
00:26:42But, uh...
00:26:45Watson, I think a walk on the deck is indicated.
00:26:47Well, not for me.
00:26:49Oh, yes, of course.
00:26:50Nothing like a good hike for the digestion.
00:27:08It's funny.
00:27:09Well, I've gone far.
00:27:32It's funny.
00:27:35Well, I've gone far.
00:27:41But I don't dare entrust a message like that to the wireless.
00:27:44It might fall into the wrong hand.
00:27:46Nevertheless, we should get in touch with someone in authority at once.
00:27:49After all, there should be three bodies, not just one.
00:27:51We were told to use our own judgment about the best way to...
00:27:54Pardon me, gentlemen.
00:27:56Uh, have you by any chance seen Miss Woodbury and, uh...
00:27:58Sorry, we haven't.
00:28:04It's very rude.
00:28:12Nicholas!
00:28:16Nicholas!
00:28:25Good morning, Ducky.
00:28:26Good morning.
00:28:27You're looking depressingly healthy.
00:28:28Rather.
00:28:30Three mile height before each meal, old boy.
00:28:32I know.
00:28:33Good for the digestion.
00:28:34You haven't by any chance seen Miss Woodbury and my nephew, have you?
00:28:37Don't tell me you've lost the dear boy.
00:28:39The question is not, have I lost the dear boy, but have you seen him?
00:28:43Come, Doctor.
00:28:44A hunt and we will go.
00:28:46I've already been this way.
00:28:48You know, there's something fascinating about Fargate Sea.
00:28:53Gets you just as wet?
00:28:54Really as thick, isn't it?
00:29:02You can hardly see the water.
00:29:04It looks ominous.
00:29:07Yes, doesn't it?
00:29:09You're right about it being wet.
00:29:11You know, I have a feeling my nose is a sight.
00:29:14It's a very pretty nose.
00:29:15Oh, liar.
00:29:17Look out.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30Well, thank you.
00:29:31I...
00:29:31Isn't it lucky you were here?
00:29:33Yes, isn't it?
00:29:34You startled me.
00:29:35I thought you were deep in your chest game.
00:29:37Oh!
00:29:38The lust is found, Doctor.
00:29:40I'm sorry, Holmes.
00:29:41There's a fog.
00:29:42Yes, so I observed.
00:29:43It's colder out here than I thought.
00:29:45Come, my dear.
00:29:46A good brisk height will do you good.
00:29:47I'm sure the Doctor doesn't wish to continue now that he's found the dear boy.
00:29:55It appears that someone has been careless, Watson.
00:30:08Across my heart
00:30:13I always will love you
00:30:16Put nothing above you
00:30:22Cross my heart
00:30:29Cross my heart
00:30:33I'll hold you forever
00:30:39I promise we never will part
00:30:48With you the trees in winter
00:30:54Will look green to me
00:31:00What you will mean to me
00:31:04Can never be torn
00:31:13Cross my heart
00:31:18Your vision will guide me
00:31:21Deep down here inside me
00:31:38What's up?
00:31:39Excuse me
00:31:46Excuse me, will you?
00:31:51Excuse me?
00:31:52Is something wrong?
00:31:55Excuse me, please
00:32:06We're off Lisbon
00:32:07Lisbon?
00:32:08We're not supposed to stop there, are we?
00:32:10I rather fancied we'd be getting some unexpected passengers aboard about now
00:32:14Yes, I think added caution is indicated
00:32:31The last 24 hours they've undoubtedly discovered that we're not on that plane
00:32:37And we are on this ship
00:32:39Those fellas Kingston and Germany were outside the wireless room today
00:32:42They said something about communicating with someone in authority
00:32:45Could they?
00:32:46Possibly
00:32:47Nicholas, Dr. Watson and I are going on deck again
00:32:49I'm rather anxious to see who's coming aboard
00:32:51Lock the door, will you?
00:32:52Don't open it
00:32:53Except to Dr. Watson or myself
00:32:55Right
00:33:02Going on deck, sir
00:33:03Yes, breath of fresh air
00:33:05I see, sir
00:33:15Holmes, did it occur to you that Stuart behaved rather suspiciously?
00:33:18Quite
00:33:28I understand we've stopped to take on some cargo
00:33:30Yes, three passengers
00:33:32Yes
00:33:33Oh, Mr. Holmes, you startled me
00:33:36Hello?
00:33:38Do you see three men have come aboard?
00:33:40So Miss Woodbridge just informed us
00:33:43Lisbon, beautiful city
00:33:45Too bad we shan't have a chance to pay to visit
00:33:47The Mar de Paye
00:33:48The Castillo Saint-Georges
00:33:50The Cloisters of the Geronimos
00:33:53The Tower of Balaam
00:33:55One of the most fascinating examples of Moorish architecture I've ever seen
00:34:00Good evening
00:34:03Mr. Holmes, is it not?
00:34:05Good evening
00:34:06I'm afraid you have the advantage of me
00:34:07Oh, that's a prize of fame, Mr. Holmes
00:34:15Who left Sir?
00:34:17I don't know
00:34:18I've seen his face before somewhere
00:34:20But I've seen his face before somewhere
00:34:25Merco!
00:34:30I think Watson, we'd better get back to your nephew
00:34:39This way it's quicker
00:34:45Who's there?
00:34:46It's I, Holmes
00:35:02Nicholas
00:35:03I want you to move in with Dr. Watson
00:35:04Until we reach our destination
00:35:06You understand?
00:35:07Certainly, Mr. Holmes
00:35:08I think you want to keep him under your eye
00:35:10I would if it, uh
00:35:13Went for that
00:35:15I think Nicholas will be safer in an inside cabin
00:35:18A porthole opening onto the promenade deck
00:35:21Is apt to offer too many temptations
00:35:23To the three gentlemen in the cabin opposite ours
00:35:25Or anyone else who might be interested
00:35:29Yes?
00:35:31Is there anything you require before retiring, sir?
00:35:33Nothing, thank you, Samford
00:35:34Good night
00:35:34Good night, sir
00:35:37Holmes, I don't trust that fellow
00:35:58Yes?
00:35:59Oh, good morning, Samford
00:36:00Sit down over there, will you?
00:36:03Breakfast will be served in half an hour
00:36:14Coffee
00:36:15I don't see how I can drink the stuff
00:36:17I never could stand it myself
00:36:19Everyone in my country drinks coffee
00:36:21My dear Nicholas, apparently you don't realise
00:36:22That it's tea that has made the British Empire
00:36:24And Watson
00:36:25What they are today
00:36:27Well, we're both in pretty good shape, aren't we?
00:36:30I thought it was the playing fields of Eaton
00:36:32That were responsible
00:36:32No, no, no
00:36:33Only for the Battle of Waterloo
00:36:36Scummy looking stuff even for coffee
00:36:38Looks as if the cream had gone sour
00:36:41Don't drink it
00:36:41Why not?
00:36:42What's wrong?
00:36:52It's fortunate that you take cream with your coffee, Nicholas
00:36:55I don't understand
00:36:57It happens to be an idiosyncrasy of a cyanic acid group
00:37:00It breaks up fat into globules
00:37:03Cyanic acid?
00:37:04Do you mean to say that Nicholas was almost poisoned under our very eyes?
00:37:07If it hadn't been to the tell-tale appearance of the cream
00:37:09Cold-blooded murder!
00:37:12Men who have engineered one assassination, Watson
00:37:14Will not stop at another
00:37:15I owe you my life, Mr. Holmes
00:37:17No, not me
00:37:18Dr. Watson, with his keen sense of observation
00:37:20Oh, thank you, Holmes
00:37:21Has it occurred to you that steward chap
00:37:23Is the only one who knows that you and I take tea
00:37:25And he takes coffee?
00:37:27You don't suppose Sheila?
00:37:29Possibly
00:37:30Poison is a woman's weapon
00:37:31A woman's weapon?
00:37:33That might include that Dunham woman
00:37:34If she is a woman
00:37:37Oh, mustn't overlook that little bearded fella
00:37:39And his goggle-eyed friend
00:37:41And don't forget the three charming gentlemen who came aboard last night
00:37:48Good shot, Watson
00:37:49Oh, thanks, old fella
00:37:50Was lucky, Dr. Watson
00:37:51Not for luck, skill, Mr. Murna
00:37:53Mirko, if you don't mind
00:37:55M-I-R-K-O
00:37:56Oh, sorry, old man
00:37:58Your turn, Mr. Holmes
00:38:06You've, um
00:38:07You've left your man unguarded
00:38:12I don't think so
00:38:14It will be more difficult to take him off than it appears
00:38:16Your turn, Mr. Gregar
00:38:23Oh, tough luck, partner
00:38:25Unfortunate
00:38:31And yet, sometimes, to leave a man unguarded may be a skillful trap for one's opponents
00:38:38You flattery, Mr. Gregar
00:38:40I'm not as clever a player as that
00:38:42You're too modest, Mr. Holmes
00:38:51Mr. Gregar
00:38:52Mr. Gregar
00:38:52Mr. Gregar
00:38:52Mr. Gregar is most accurate
00:38:54Afraid I'm not giving him much help
00:38:57Are you conceding defeat, then, Mr. Holmes?
00:38:59Oh, certainly not
00:39:00But one always prefers to win
00:39:03Even when the price of victory is too high
00:39:06Of course, that all depends on the price one's willing to pay
00:39:12Well, that's it, Mr. Merco
00:39:16I'm afraid we're too good for you, old man
00:39:18Yes, Mr. Holmes and I shall have to stand the drinks
00:39:21After your skillful playing, Mr. Merco, I wouldn't think of penalizing you
00:39:24The drinks shall be on me
00:39:25You are a good loser, Mr. Holmes
00:39:26I suggest we all meet in the lounge after dinner
00:39:28Right, thank you for the game, gentlemen
00:39:30Pleasure was ours, Mr. Holmes
00:39:33Ah, now we can really see it
00:39:36The Rock of Gibraltar
00:39:39We'll be getting to the Mediterranean soon, Holmes
00:39:42Now that you have failed to warn Holmes off
00:39:45Our only safety lies at first eliminating him
00:39:48But Holmes is not our objective
00:39:49No, but he stands between us and our objective
00:39:52It seems such a pity to eliminate Sherlock Holmes
00:39:55You may accuse me of being unduly tender-hearted
00:39:58But to destroy so great a man in order to reach our target
00:40:01The target we must reach before we arrive at Algiers
00:40:04There's still plenty of time
00:40:07You're right, of course
00:40:09I should like to have given Holmes a chance, but
00:40:11Good, then tonight it'll be done my way
00:40:15You really enjoy your work, don't you, Merco?
00:40:25I promise you, Merco is more than competent
00:40:28We cannot afford to take chances
00:40:30And Nicholas must be disposed of before we reach Algiers
00:40:37That's because you don't know Merco
00:40:38I've used him before, and I promise you, he never fails
00:40:45Because your strong-arm methods are apt to be too noisy
00:40:47With Merco it's swift and silent
00:40:50Understand?
00:40:55Satisfied?
00:40:57I'm sure Mr. Gilbert is convinced
00:41:05Good evening, gentlemen
00:41:06Good evening
00:41:06Mr. Merco insists that losers pay off the bet
00:41:09Delighted
00:41:10Won't you sit down?
00:41:13What do you have?
00:41:15A brandy, I think
00:41:16A whiskey and soda for me
00:41:18A whiskey and soda and three brandies, please
00:41:20Penalty for losing the game
00:41:21No ice in mine, Mr. Stewart
00:41:23I can't think why they ruin good whiskey by putting ice in it
00:41:26You see, Mr. Holmes, losing the game always carries a penalty
00:41:29Sometimes greater than others
00:41:30Well, if one isn't willing to pay the penalty, one shouldn't play the game
00:41:37Thank you
00:41:42Your health and long life
00:41:44Thank you
00:41:50I think I'll turn in now
00:41:52Oh, what happened to your charming companion?
00:41:53She said she had a headache and went to her cabin
00:41:55I think it's time we all turned in
00:41:58Gentlemen, I bid you good night
00:42:00Twenty past ten, huh?
00:42:01Good idea
00:42:02Good night
00:42:03Good night
00:42:03Good night, gentlemen
00:42:07Good night
00:42:08Sit down
00:42:11It's no hurry
00:42:22It's over by now
00:42:23No
00:42:23My dear Mirko
00:42:24Try to cultivate patience
00:42:26It's so much safer
00:42:57You turn out the light
00:42:59I promise you, I shall not fail
00:43:01You turn out the light
00:43:01I promise you, I shall not fail
00:43:18You turn out the light
00:43:19You turn out the light
00:43:24You turn out the light
00:43:24You turn out the light
00:43:24You turn out the light
00:43:24You turn out the light
00:43:24You turn out the light
00:43:27You turn out the light
00:43:27You turn out the light
00:43:28You turn out the light
00:43:28You turn out the light
00:43:29You turn out the light
00:43:29You turn out the light
00:43:30You turn out the light
00:43:32You turn out the light
00:43:34as the notoriously treacherous, I'm afraid you've broken your wrist.
00:43:37You... you pig!
00:43:39You shouldn't have played shuffleboard today, you know.
00:43:42When I saw that skilful hand on an erringly accurate eye of yours,
00:43:46I remembered the circus of Medrano in Paris
00:43:49and your amazing exhibition of my throwing.
00:43:51Good night.
00:44:01Oh, good morning, Mr. Holmes.
00:44:03There you are.
00:44:04Good morning.
00:44:04Good morning, Mr. Gregor.
00:44:06I heard of your friend's unfortunate accident.
00:44:08Will you please convey my sympathy?
00:44:09It may take a long time to heal.
00:44:11You'll have to have patience, you know.
00:44:12I was explaining the advantage of patience to, er...
00:44:15to Mr. Mirko only last night.
00:44:17Now, me, I am a very patient man myself,
00:44:19and I always believe the result well worth waiting for.
00:44:22Don't you agree, Mr. Holmes?
00:44:24Patience has advantages under certain conditions.
00:44:27We are in accord, Mr. Holmes.
00:44:29Yes, aren't we?
00:44:32That fellow Mirko said he slipped and fell down while walking around the deck at three o'clock in the
00:44:36morning.
00:44:38Drunk, most probably.
00:44:39Possibly.
00:44:40He's got a nasty fracture.
00:44:41Took me over an hour to sit.
00:44:43Never got to sleep again.
00:44:45That's regrettable.
00:44:46Too bad you couldn't blame it on your insomnia.
00:44:49Insomnia?
00:44:49You know I always sleep like a top.
00:44:52I don't think either of us is going to get much sleep tonight.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:55You mean that woman's party?
00:44:56Silly creature.
00:44:58What on earth do you want to give a party for?
00:45:00I wasn't referring to Miss Dunham's party, Watson.
00:45:04Deadly as that will undoubtedly be.
00:45:05Deadly as that will be.
00:45:09No.
00:45:11This is the last opportunity our three friends will have to prevent our successfully carrying out our mission.
00:45:17We arrived at Algiers late tonight.
00:45:22Good morning, my dear.
00:45:24I should say the young lady isn't looking forward to arriving in Algiers with any very great pleasure.
00:45:29Have you noticed, Watson?
00:45:31She hasn't let her music case out of her sight since our first meeting.
00:45:34Well, now that you mentioned, yes.
00:45:37I want you to ask her to sing Flo Gently, Sweet Afton, if she makes some excuse.
00:45:42Ask her if the music isn't in her case.
00:45:43Leave the rest to me.
00:45:45I think you'll see an interesting reaction.
00:45:46I'll do it now.
00:45:53I still haven't heard Flo Gently, Sweet Afton.
00:45:56Do you promise to sing it for me now?
00:45:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:45:58I'm afraid I don't know it from memory.
00:46:00No, no, no.
00:46:01I won't take no for an answer.
00:46:02Perhaps you put the music for it here in your case.
00:46:05I'm afraid I don't feel like singing.
00:46:07I beg your pardon.
00:46:09What did I tell you?
00:46:10Interesting, isn't it?
00:46:12Interesting.
00:46:14But you, he's right.
00:46:23Oh.
00:46:24Oh.
00:46:25Oh.
00:46:27Oh.
00:46:43Don't come any nearer.
00:46:44If you do, I'll...
00:46:48I won't come any nearer, I promise.
00:46:50But, uh, may I talk to you?
00:46:53My dear Sheila.
00:46:55I don't know yet just what you're in such mortal terror of, but I'm sure that whatever it is, you
00:47:00are an innocent victim.
00:47:02I don't know what you're talking.
00:47:03Well, to begin with, the way you acted the first time you saw me was a bit of a blow
00:47:07to my vanity, you know.
00:47:09Men are such vain creatures, aren't they?
00:47:11So I prefer to think that it was something unexpected that you found in your music case that caused you
00:47:16to react in such fashion.
00:47:17I saw nothing.
00:47:18Oh, come now, you must have.
00:47:20And since the quickest way to relieve fear is to share the cause of it with someone else,
00:47:24please forgive me if I attempt to find out just what it is that your music case can take.
00:47:28But I told you...
00:47:28Wait a minute.
00:47:30Come along, won't you?
00:47:31Please.
00:47:37Won't you sit down?
00:47:39Please.
00:47:42Now, it's unlikely to be important documents, since to know their significance, you'd have needed time to examine them.
00:47:47But there is one thing, which is small enough to be easily concealed, and which is highly valuable.
00:47:53A jewel or jewels.
00:47:55Then, um, then there's this fellow Hassan, in whose cafe you've been engaged as an entertainer.
00:48:01He's been suspected for years by the police of two continents as the largest receiver of stolen goods in the
00:48:08Near East.
00:48:11So, circumstances would indicate that the jewels you found in your music case are both stolen and extremely valuable.
00:48:20And since there have been no other important robberies in London, for some considerable time,
00:48:25I venture to say that you're carrying the, uh...
00:48:29The Duchess of Brookdale's emeralds.
00:48:31Am I right?
00:48:36You're quite right, Mr. Holmes.
00:48:38May I?
00:48:42I'd, I'd left the briefcase in my manager's office.
00:48:44He, he brought it to me just before we sailed.
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:51So, Dr. Watson, inform me.
00:48:54I, I recognize the emeralds from the newspaper description.
00:48:58Oh, Mr. Holmes, I've been so frightened.
00:49:01Don't worry, my dear.
00:49:06Don't worry.
00:49:07Don't worry.
00:49:08Don't worry.
00:49:09I'll return the next place.
00:49:12And I assure you that the reward the insurance company has offered is yours.
00:49:16And will more than make up to you for any loss you may incur
00:49:18by the cancellation of the Hassan contract.
00:49:21And will enable you to go home to, uh...
00:49:23Brooklyn.
00:49:26Brooklyn.
00:49:27Well, I knew a most charming man who lived there once.
00:49:31He's now a resident in Sing Sing Prison.
00:49:34Oh!
00:49:36You know, I'm not going to have to carry this briefcase around with me anymore.
00:49:39How can I ever thank you?
00:49:41If you really must thank me, please do so by singing Dr. Watson's song poem, will you?
00:49:46You're a darling.
00:49:53Strongness, I...
00:49:54I'll imagine, my dear fellow.
00:49:55And very pleasant.
00:49:56Huh?
00:50:01Flow gently sweet afternoon among thy green braes.
00:50:08Flow gently I'll sing thee a song in thy praise.
00:50:14My Mary's asleep by the murmuring stream.
00:50:23Flow gently sweet afternoon.
00:50:28Disturb not her dream.
00:50:32Thou stuck down with me.
00:50:34Good evening.
00:50:35Good evening.
00:50:36Oh, that looks very nice, steward.
00:50:38Oh, may I help you?
00:50:39No, I want to put these favors around myself.
00:50:42I want to rearrange the seating.
00:50:45See?
00:50:46I'm using them as place cards.
00:50:48I've written a name on each.
00:50:50That nice fat gentleman.
00:50:53It was his suggestion.
00:50:58Hope nothing goes wrong.
00:51:01Nothing will go wrong this time, my dear Mirko.
00:51:09That was charming.
00:51:10I love that old song.
00:51:11Now you can sing for me, Doctor.
00:51:12You promised, you know.
00:51:13Well, if you like, I can sing for some time.
00:51:17There's nobody here.
00:51:19Remember, you told me you used to sing a song.
00:51:22What was it?
00:51:23Lock Low Middle East?
00:51:24Come on now, Doctor.
00:51:25Just to please me.
00:51:35By yon bonnie bangs
00:51:37And by yon bonnie braids
00:51:41Where the sun shines bright
00:51:44On La Clombe
00:51:48Nicholas?
00:51:51Dr. Watson?
00:51:53And this is me.
00:51:56There.
00:51:57I think that's done.
00:51:58Now I'd better have a few words for the chef
00:52:00To make sure that everything is taken care of.
00:52:03May I show you the way?
00:52:11I'll tag the low road
00:52:13And I'll day in Scotland
00:52:16Of four years
00:52:20But to me and my true love
00:52:24Hardly any difference.
00:52:25I'll never meet again
00:52:28One morning
00:52:31Of a honey burnt
00:52:41But to me and my true love
00:52:46We'll never meet again
00:52:51On the bonnie, bonnie bang
00:52:56And the love
00:53:04And the love
00:53:05And the love
00:53:05And the love
00:53:05Bravo
00:53:06Watson, bravo
00:53:07I heard work singing at the upper hall
00:53:09I didn't know you there
00:53:10I felt my voice a bit rusty
00:53:12You're just being modest, Doctor Watson
00:53:14It was delightful, eh Jodri?
00:53:16Oh, delightful
00:53:17My dear Kingston
00:53:18Why would they have constructed it so large
00:53:20If it were not to accommodate three barbors?
00:53:23Watson
00:53:23Hmm. Have you met Mr. Kingston and Mr. Jodray?
00:53:26I've seen them about.
00:53:27Mr. Kingston and Mr. Jodray are archaeologists.
00:53:29They're going to Egypt to excavate a tomb.
00:53:31And we've just received a wireless, but the British government...
00:53:34Egyptian?
00:53:35Uh, Egyptian government has granted its permission.
00:53:38Oh, congratulations.
00:53:40Archaeologists, they might have been dug up themselves.
00:53:42Watson, please.
00:53:43Sir?
00:53:43Was that you seeing, Ducky?
00:53:45I could hear you in the galley.
00:53:47Capital.
00:53:48Really, it was. What was it?
00:53:49Well, it was, uh...
00:53:50Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:53:52Well, is everybody ready?
00:53:53The festive board awaits.
00:53:56Oh, good.
00:53:57We'll have a wonderful time, Ducky.
00:54:01You'll observe I've rearranged the seating order.
00:54:05Why, say, Ducky, you're this end.
00:54:08Next you're to me.
00:54:11You weren't the other in the table.
00:54:13Oh, if you are.
00:54:15I'm not going to let you off, you know.
00:54:17Let me off what?
00:54:21This is our last night together.
00:54:23And you've been promising the whole voyage to tell me about one of Sherlock Holmes' adventures.
00:54:29Oh, please, please, please.
00:54:32Oh, isn't it a little early?
00:54:33No, no, no.
00:54:34Haven't we got a bit of wait till after dinner?
00:54:36Oh, no, no.
00:54:37Oh, why not start now?
00:54:39Oh, all right.
00:54:40Now, let's see.
00:54:42Did any of you ever hear of the giant rat of Sumatra?
00:54:46Oh, I know.
00:54:47But it sounds terribly gruesome.
00:54:49It certainly was.
00:54:50It never got in the papers at the time.
00:54:52Too delicate a matter.
00:54:53I don't suppose it'll do any harm to tell it now.
00:54:55Well, it all began one evening in Baker Street.
00:55:03Holmes and I were sitting in our rooms when suddenly the door opened slowly and in walked.
00:55:11Sit down.
00:55:13You're quite safe here.
00:55:14I wish it would happen.
00:55:16I don't like the suspense.
00:55:19My dear Mirko, as I have said before, patience is an admirable quality.
00:55:24You should cultivate it.
00:55:30One of the old pea soupers.
00:55:31Very rare of these.
00:55:32Oh, take it away, thank you.
00:55:33Now, I hope you all understand the topography of the place.
00:55:36It's important.
00:55:37Devilishly important.
00:55:38Now, let me see if I get it straight.
00:55:39Between these two knives is the Thames.
00:55:41That's right, it's the Thames.
00:55:43And the cruet is the warehouse.
00:55:45The warehouse, that's right.
00:55:46And this boat is the salt seller.
00:55:48No, the salt seller's the boat.
00:55:49Oh, the salt seller's the boat, of course.
00:55:51No, no, no.
00:55:52The salt seller's the boat.
00:55:53Come on, Sheila.
00:55:54Where's your hat?
00:55:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:56I was listening to your uncle's story.
00:55:57Here.
00:55:59Oh, dear.
00:56:00Nothing happened.
00:56:01Here, take mine.
00:56:03Oh.
00:56:04Oh, no, you don't.
00:56:05No, this time I'm not taking any chances.
00:56:07I'm going to do it all myself.
00:56:09Wait a minute.
00:56:15I don't think there's a hat in that one.
00:56:16Why don't you take mine?
00:56:17I never wear paper hats.
00:56:18Oh, thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:56:19But I'm sorry you won't wear it yourself.
00:56:21I'm sure it'd be very becoming.
00:56:22You're coming.
00:56:23Oh, no.
00:56:23As I was saying, Holmes and I crept down the alley between the sinister-looking warehouses.
00:56:30Uh, this stalker's cellarays.
00:56:32Holmes, there's bit of cheese as me.
00:56:34Oh, duck.
00:56:38But when we reached the end of the alley, there was a blank wall.
00:56:42So, so we had to retrace our steps.
00:56:45There was nothing else to do.
00:56:47Was it a high wall?
00:56:48High, about six foot high.
00:56:49I tried to tie it with two.
00:56:50I said, Holmes, it's absolutely ludicrous.
00:56:52So, he said to me, watch, there's nothing else for it.
00:56:54And back we turned.
00:56:55Oh, and down we had to get.
00:56:59Something has gone wrong.
00:57:00They've been down there for a-
00:57:02Keep quiet.
00:57:02It's at Holmes, I tell you.
00:57:04We should have got rid of him.
00:57:14Stay.
00:57:14Stay here.
00:57:19Good evening, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:21Good evening.
00:57:22Party over so soon?
00:57:24No, I don't think so.
00:57:25I imagine the festivities are in full swing.
00:57:28I just don't happen to give him much of a hand at, uh, small talk and paper, paper hats.
00:57:33Oh, that's too bad.
00:57:34Now, me, I always enjoy that sort of thing.
00:57:37Really?
00:57:37Then perhaps you'd like a paper hat as a souvenir.
00:57:39This one was at, uh, Watson's nephew's, uh, place.
00:57:43I'm sure he'd like you to have it.
00:57:46Not interested?
00:57:49Not very well.
00:57:55That's curious.
00:57:58Good evening, Mr. Mirko.
00:58:02Nothing will go wrong this time, my dear Mirko.
00:58:06And after a desperate chase up the river, in a police launch, Lestrade finally apprehended the Miss Grinzoff-Wapping.
00:58:12The freighter was towed out to sea and blown up.
00:58:16And London, all England for that matter, was saved from the terrible menace of the giant rat of Sumatra.
00:58:23Oh, thank you very much.
00:58:24I don't think I left anything out, could I, Holmes?
00:58:27I beg your pardon?
00:58:29I'm listening very closely.
00:58:31I asked you if I omitted anything.
00:58:32I don't think so.
00:58:34Nothing ever escapes your eagle eye.
00:58:36Oh, really?
00:58:37Thanks so much.
00:58:37Ah, here's my soup at last.
00:58:39Oh, I'm getting hungry.
00:58:41Of course it was.
00:58:42You bother me?
00:58:48Cheerio!
00:58:49Hi!
00:58:52I can't believe this is our last night.
00:58:54It's funny, I can't either.
00:58:59Archaeologists going about like a couple of conspirators.
00:59:02You know this, Watson, that our three friends are conspicuous by their absence?
00:59:05Oh, now that you mention it, I don't see them anywhere about.
00:59:19Hello.
00:59:19We've stopped.
00:59:21Yes, we're off our chairs at last.
00:59:22Thank heavens for that.
00:59:24We haven't yet delivered His Majesty in safety.
00:59:28I'm afraid I'll have to take Nicholas away.
00:59:31So early, but nobody's getting off the boat until morning.
00:59:34I'm sorry, I have a lot of packing to do.
00:59:36Oh, I see.
00:59:37Good night.
00:59:37Good night.
00:59:38Good night.
00:59:38Good night.
00:59:44Are you having a good time?
00:59:45Oh, yes, he's wonderful.
00:59:47Eh?
00:59:47Oh, yes, it's been wonderful.
00:59:50Oh, ho.
00:59:51Has it?
00:59:59We can relax only when Nicholas is safely in the hands of his friends.
01:00:02You remember the identification they'll present?
01:00:03Yes, of course.
01:00:04Good.
01:00:05Get your hat and coat.
01:00:05I'll stay here with Nicholas until you return.
01:00:09Yes?
01:00:10The launch is waiting to take Dr. Watson ashore, sir.
01:00:13Thank you, Sanford.
01:00:15Good luck, old fellow, in hurry.
01:00:16You can rely on me, Holmes.
01:00:18Bye, Nicholas.
01:00:18Good luck.
01:00:22How long should it take on Mr. Holmes?
01:00:23Oh, about half an hour, I think.
01:00:26No one could say it's not been an exciting trip.
01:00:28That was to be expected.
01:00:30You could all have died of boredom if it hadn't been.
01:00:36Yes?
01:00:37Yes?
01:00:37Sorry, Holmes, I forgot my pipe.
01:00:51Don't do anything foolish, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:53I dare say you're surprised to see me, aren't you?
01:00:56In a way, yes.
01:00:57Impersonations are a hobby of mine.
01:00:59After Dr. Watson left the cabin, I managed to simulate his voice at the door.
01:01:03It was quite good.
01:01:05However, it was fortunate that you didn't hear it.
01:01:08Yes, isn't it?
01:01:13I think you must concede, Mr. Holmes, that the last trick of the game is mine.
01:01:19Kubik!
01:01:21Our object now is not to kill Mr. Holmes,
01:01:24but to get the other one off the boat as quickly as possible.
01:01:32That's better.
01:01:45Come on.
01:01:54I must offer you our sincerest congratulations
01:01:57and the successful accomplishment of your so-hazardous mission, Dr. Watson.
01:02:00Oh, thank you, Mr. Ravitch.
01:02:02I don't mind admitting it was one of our most difficult cases.
01:02:04Mr. Holmes is aboard the ship.
01:02:06Indeed he is.
01:02:07I left him guarding his majesty.
01:02:09Our country owes you a great debt of gratitude, sir.
01:02:11Oh, it was nothing at all, sir.
01:02:13Nothing at all.
01:02:15Follow me, gentlemen.
01:02:24Holmes!
01:02:28Holmes!
01:02:33Holmes!
01:02:35Unlocked, looks funny.
01:02:38Holmes!
01:02:44Locked!
01:02:47Holmes!
01:02:49What has happened?
01:02:54Where's Nicholas?
01:02:55Where is he?
01:02:58Excuse me.
01:03:06Have these gentlemen correctly identified themselves?
01:03:08Yes, of course they have.
01:03:10Never mind about that now.
01:03:12Ring for the steward, will you, Watson?
01:03:13Hmm?
01:03:16Well, where is Nicholas?
01:03:18What have you done with him?
01:03:20Mr. Holmes, what has happened?
01:03:22Dr. Watson assured that his majesty would be safe under your guard.
01:03:25Look here, Holmes, there must be some explanation.
01:03:28Gentlemen, I'm rather pained at your evident lack of confidence in me.
01:03:31Did you ring, sir?
01:03:34Your majesty, King Nicholas.
01:03:36You're safe, sir.
01:03:38Heaven be praised.
01:03:39What?
01:03:40Your majesty.
01:03:41Your majesty?
01:03:41What's he talking about?
01:03:42King Nicholas?
01:03:43I don't understand.
01:03:45The young man who assumed your identity, sir?
01:03:47He's safe and unharmed.
01:03:49We've just received word from the shore.
01:03:51Three men have been taken by the security police.
01:03:53But you let them tie you up and kidnap him.
01:03:55Naturally.
01:03:56That's ensuring their absence during his majesty's safe arrival.
01:03:59I can't thank you enough, Mr. Holmes.
01:04:00Your majesty's safe arrival is thanks enough for me.
01:04:02And you too, Dr. Watson.
01:04:04Thank you, sir.
01:04:05We had best be starting without further delay.
01:04:07Goodbye, your majesty.
01:04:09And Dr. Watson and I will not forget
01:04:10that we've had the unusual distinction
01:04:11of having our breakfast served to us in bed by King.
01:04:14Your majesty.
01:04:16Goodbye, gentlemen.
01:04:17Goodbye, sir.
01:04:26Hmm.
01:04:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:29Didn't you feel that you could trust me?
01:04:31My dear fellow, you know I have the utmost confidence in you.
01:04:34It certainly doesn't look as though you had.
01:04:36My dear Watson,
01:04:38if you'd known the truth,
01:04:39you'd never have been able to treat his majesty like a steward.
01:04:42Well, didn't you think that I could play up?
01:04:44I was afraid that that honest face of yours
01:04:46might give the secret away.
01:04:49Yes, Watson, let me advise you.
01:04:52If you ever consider taking up another profession,
01:04:54never even think of becoming an actor.
01:04:57Hmm.
