00:03:40Boy, the minute I got your telegram I started watching all trains
00:03:44You contact mysterious Mr. Roush?
00:03:46Sure, picked him up the minute he got off the train
00:03:48And Hodge, that's one of my men over there
00:03:50He and I have trailed him for seven hours
00:03:54Roush know you follow him?
00:03:55He couldn't help it
00:03:56I figured you were about to make an important arrest
00:03:58So we've kept close to him
00:04:00He's on that tug over there now
00:04:04And did not want to arrest him yet

00:04:11Roush's agent in pay of someone trying to steal radar secrets from our government
00:04:16Really wanted you to locate him
00:04:19So I could observe him myself
00:04:21Oh
00:04:22So you could trail him
00:04:23To the head of the gang who's trying to steal the radar
00:04:26Oh, gee

00:05:51Blood on the floor
00:06:06It's Roush.
00:06:17He's dead. Stabbed within the last 20 minutes.
00:06:25Here, Prince. Someone step in blood, leave Prince.
00:06:42I'm afraid, Captain. Murderer arrive and depart in Caron Dock, which just leaves.
00:06:50And I didn't even look as alive.

00:07:00Get me the coroner.
00:07:03Hello, Doc. This is Flynn talking.
00:07:05We just brought in the homicide. Get me a quick report, will you?
00:07:08Thanks. Sit down, Charlie.
00:07:11Come on. Give me the radio room.
00:07:14This is Flynn talking.
00:07:16Check on a stolen car number...
00:07:19Huh?
00:07:209B2X54.
00:07:229B2X54.
00:07:23Yeah?
00:07:26Huh.
00:07:27That car's been reported stolen by Miss Diane Hall,
00:07:30a radio actress of the Cosmo Radio Center.
00:07:34Cosmo Radio Center.
00:07:36They broadcast by television.
00:07:38Yeah, their offices are on the 10th floor.
00:07:4110th floor.
00:07:43Same floor as Hamilton Research Laboratory.
00:07:46Yeah.
00:07:47And say, doesn't that fellow Hamilton experiment in radar?
00:07:50Radar, radio.
00:07:54Believe we'll soon meet Miss Diane Hall.
00:07:57Tonight.
00:07:58If he ain't a black market man, my name ain't Birmingham,
00:08:01and I can prove it is.
00:08:02He's right.
00:08:03That man's business is as dark as, uh...
00:08:05It ain't exactly that dark.
00:08:06Can you identify him from a picture?
00:08:08Yes, sir.
00:08:09As mad as I am with that man,
00:08:10I hate to think of what I think of him.
00:08:12It makes me blush.
00:08:15Here. Look through this.
00:08:16If it's in here, I'll sure find it.
00:08:18And I hope it's in here, too.
00:08:21Now, let me see.
00:08:22No.
00:08:22No.
00:08:23That ain't him.
00:08:24That's a funny little character, ain't it?
00:08:27No.
00:08:28No.
00:08:30Uncle Nicodemus.
00:08:31I wonder what he's doing.
00:08:32Look at that zoo suit he got on.
00:08:34It's killing him, ain't it?
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:35Big house sure makes some funny suits.
00:08:37There he is.
00:08:38Mm-hmm.
00:08:40Let's see.
00:08:41Right along here.
00:08:43There.
00:08:46Let's see.
00:08:47Now, no.
00:08:47That ain't him.
00:08:48It's right over here.
00:08:49Why did you turn that page over so quick?
00:08:50Oh, that page?
00:08:51Oh, that's a desperate character.
00:08:52You don't want to see that.
00:08:53Come on.
00:08:53We're going to look over here.
00:08:54Now, right here.
00:08:54He's right over here, sir.
00:08:55Oh, I want to look at it.
00:08:56All right.
00:09:00Uh-uh.
00:09:03Well, what do you know about that?
00:09:05What do you know about that?
00:09:07Well, you see, it's a little, uh...
00:09:08I mean, it's a little error.
00:09:11You see, I had that suit made for a masquerade.
00:09:14I went to a ball, you know, and I win the contest.
00:09:16And you should have seen me dance.
00:09:17I jumped up.
00:09:18Here's the step I did.
00:09:19Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop.
00:09:22Do you expect us to believe that?
00:09:25Well, uh, it could be.
00:09:27Are you two trying to kid us?
00:09:28I'm going to run you both in.
00:09:30Look, wait a minute.
00:09:31You can't do that to us.
00:09:31I came here looking for Pop.
00:09:33Yeah, you don't know who he is.
00:09:34Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.
00:09:36What's going on here?
00:09:36Who are these two?
00:09:37He says he's Charlie Chan's son.
00:09:39Well, so sorry I must apologize, Captain.
00:09:42What he say is true.
00:09:44This is number three son, Tommy.
00:09:46And this one is second assistant, Birmingham Brown.
00:09:50Both at times often feeble-minded.
00:09:53All right, boys.
00:09:56Now, you two are supposed to take baggage to a hotel.
00:09:59We did, Pop.
00:10:00Then we came looking for you.
00:10:01You know we have to look after you.
00:10:03You look after me until I'm out of sight.
00:10:05Oh, Pop, you know we're a big help to you.
00:10:08Your worries are our worries.
00:10:09In fact, no trouble is too big for us.
00:10:11Some of your trouble too big for me.
00:10:14Come, we must investigate slight case of murder.
00:10:18Murder?
00:10:19Well, here I come.
00:10:20Here I go.
00:10:25Uh-oh.
00:10:26The end of the line.
00:10:28Now, she can't do that to me.
00:10:29I paid her my alimony this morning.
00:10:31She can't do that to me.
00:10:32Mr. Chan.
00:10:33Mr. Chan, come get me out, please.
00:10:35I done changed my mind.
00:10:36Mr. Chan.
00:10:50Mr. Chan.
00:10:51The manager is coming right out, Mr. Chan.
00:10:57I'm Mr. Brett, Mr. Chan.
00:10:58So happy to meet you.
00:11:00I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but we've just finished a broadcast.
00:11:03Now, why do you wish to see Miss Hall?
00:11:06Is she in trouble?
00:11:07I wish to speak to Miss Hall regarding her automobile.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:12Oh, well, right this way, sir.
00:11:18I mop and mop and mop, so why you walk on the floor till my nerves go yingle yangle?
00:11:22Well, we haven't learned to walk on the ceiling yet.
00:11:25I speak serious stuff, and you speak York's.
00:11:28Who are you?
00:11:29What you want here?
00:11:30I'm Tommy Chan.
00:11:31This is Birmingham Brown.
00:11:32We're assistant to Charlie Chan, the world-famous detective.
00:11:34Hold her.
00:11:35Miss Swenson.
00:11:36You benignly.
00:11:37Sorry, Mr. Brett.
00:11:39Right this way, Mrs. Chan.
00:11:43They told me to advertise on the air.
00:11:46Well, any program that smells like the one you people just put on needs the air.
00:11:50And you think I'm going to continue paying you?
00:11:54Well, this is radio.
00:11:57I try to put on a program, and the manager himself lets in tourists to gape at us like goldfish.
00:12:03Mrs. Marsh.
00:12:04Herbert.
00:12:04People.
00:12:05Herbert Sinclair.
00:12:06You were supposed to definitely inform the management that I wanted no sightseers in the studio while my actors were
00:12:12either rehearsing or broadcasting.
00:12:14Quiet!
00:12:14Never mind making excuses.
00:12:16Mrs. Marsh, these people are not tourists.
00:12:19This gentleman is here because, well, it's something I'm sure won't happen again.
00:12:25You've said that before, and so have you.
00:12:27Don't talk back to me.
00:12:29Well, what do you want?
00:12:31Really wish private conversation with Miss Diane Hall.
00:12:36You wish to see me?
00:12:37You are Miss Hall?
00:12:39Yes.
00:12:39Permit me to introduce myself.
00:12:42Permit me to depart.
00:12:44Breaking into conferences that I'm paying for.
00:12:46Come, Herbert.
00:12:51I am Charlie Chan, representative of federal government.
00:12:55Federal government?
00:12:56The law?
00:12:57Oh, well, when the law arrives, Willie ran depart.
00:13:00To Lulu.
00:13:08Miss Hall, tonight you report car stolen.
00:13:12Oh, that.
00:13:13But it wasn't stolen.
00:13:14It was merely borrowed.
00:13:16By whom, please?
00:13:17Well, I...
00:13:18I don't know.
00:13:20You see, Gloria and I...
00:13:22Oh, excuse me.
00:13:23This is Gloria Bain, Mr. Chan.
00:13:25After rehearsal tonight, Gloria and I went out to the parking lot.
00:13:28And Diane's car was gone.
00:13:30So I, uh, telephoned police.
00:13:32Then we went to a restaurant.
00:13:34Ate, talked with some friends, and came back up here.
00:13:37And there was Diane's car right back in the parking lot.
00:13:39Your car missing about 8.30 tonight?
00:13:42That's right.
00:13:43But how did you know?
00:13:44And why should the federal government be interested in a stolen car that wasn't completely stolen?
00:13:48That is all.
00:13:50And I'm most fortunate to have met such charming radio ladies.
00:13:54Hope to meet you again.
00:13:56Very soon, perhaps.
00:14:09Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:14:11Sir, to meet a gentleman who apologizes for bumping you in these days is a rare thing indeed.
00:14:18He is either a coward or a gentleman.
00:14:21I give you credit for the lack of it.
00:14:24Uh, Mr. Chan.
00:14:25This is Mr. Horace Carlos, the Shakespearean actor.
00:14:28Now of motion pictures and radio.
00:14:30And television, Mr. Brett.
00:14:32Of course.
00:14:32Yes, once the foremost Shakespearean actor of my time, but now charred.
00:14:39Now I am known only for the mask behind which I hide when I play the mad monster.
00:14:47On radio, screen, and television.
00:14:50Still, it is a living.
00:14:53And so, good night to you, one and all.
00:15:02Carlos acts on and off the stage.
00:15:05Did you, uh, learn everything that you came to see this all about?
00:15:08Yes, thanks for our kind assistance.
00:15:11Well, good.
00:15:12Now, if you will excuse me.
00:15:13Certainly.
00:15:15Pop, I don't get it.
00:15:17We came all the way from New York City following a man named Roush.
00:15:20Roush was murdered.
00:15:22Who killed him?
00:15:23Same person who leave that heel print on floor.
00:15:27Right shoe.
00:15:29Print is duplicate of one found in cabinet scene of Roush's murder.
00:15:34Killer, killer, someone who walked here recently.
00:15:41Perhaps someone we all see.
00:15:45Most interesting place.
00:15:48We'll visit here tomorrow.
00:15:50We'll see you tomorrow.
00:16:17Manager, please.
00:16:19Where's Carl?
00:16:20This is Brett.
00:16:21Roush was contacted.
00:16:23He was scared.
00:16:24Said the police were after him.
00:16:26He was ready to blab because Charlie Chan was after him, too.
00:16:30But he can't talk now.
00:16:32He's dead.
00:16:44I borrowed Diana's car last night to go meet Roush.
00:16:47We're dead.
00:16:54He's dead.
00:17:24Information?
00:17:27I want the address of the telephone number, Harding, 2535.
00:17:31Yes, I know, but this is Inspector Grady.
00:17:34Freezing station, 27.
00:17:41Where?
00:17:44Office 211.
00:17:46Algon Building?
00:18:04Next on list, please.
00:18:06That's Gloria Bain, radio actress, small time, until she made a hit on Mrs. Marsh's program.
00:18:12Seems to be a gold digger, but she's a hard worker. No record.
00:18:16Diane Hall, radio actress from legitimate states in New York, came here two months ago.
00:18:20Nothing definite on her, except that she lives with Gloria Bain.
00:18:24Well, thank you so very much, Captain, for your excellent report on my list of suspects.
00:18:30Charlie, you mean to tell me that you really think that one of these people here is a murderer?
00:18:35Not only thinks so, but firmly believes so. But which one?
00:18:41We'll go now to try and find out which one is guilty person.
00:18:46That's easy, Pop. The murderer will be the one with the guilty look.
00:18:50Number three son have excellent head. Question have always been what it contained.
00:19:01Well, if it ain't, uh...
00:19:02Ben Carter is my name.
00:19:04Benjamin Carter, yeah. Boy, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you since...
00:19:08Longer than that.
00:19:09Yeah?
00:19:09The last time I saw you, you was living over...
00:19:11Oh, I moved from there.
00:19:13Yeah?
00:19:13Sure, I moved over to, uh...
00:19:15How can you live in that neighborhood?
00:19:16I don't know.
00:19:17Now, where I'm living, I only pay...
00:19:19It ain't that cheap, is it?
00:19:20Sure it is.
00:19:21Hey, look at you.
00:19:21What?
00:19:22Is you still married?
00:19:23No, I divorced her.
00:19:24Yeah?
00:19:25Sure.
00:19:26I know you have lots of...
00:19:27You got me wrong. You got me wrong. I got married again.
00:19:30No kidding.
00:19:31I sure did.
00:19:31Yeah?
00:19:32Say, not changing the subject.
00:19:34Have you got a, uh...
00:19:35No, I don't smoke.
00:19:36No.
00:19:36Hey, look here.
00:19:38Wasn't you in the...
00:19:39Yeah, but I got an honorable discharge.
00:19:41You did?
00:19:41I sure did.
00:19:42What was the matter?
00:19:43Well, I developed a kind of...
00:19:45Oh, that's a terrible pain.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:46Yeah, it starts right along...
00:19:47No, more in the back.
00:19:48Yeah?
00:19:49Mm-hmm.
00:19:49What are you doing for it?
00:19:51Well, I was taking some...
00:19:52Don't take them, Ben. They'll make you sleep.
00:19:54Yeah?
00:19:54Sure.
00:19:55Now, what you should've taken...
00:19:57I did.
00:19:58You know what?
00:19:59What?
00:19:59That's how come I'd like to talk to you.
00:20:00Yeah?
00:20:01Cause me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:20:03We sure do know it.
00:20:03Yeah!
00:20:10You don't have to...
00:20:11I wonder...
00:20:12Oh, it's about...
00:20:12Is it that late?
00:20:13It sure is.
00:20:14Well, thank you.
00:20:14I'll be sitting here, huh?
00:20:15I'll be sitting here, huh?
00:20:16I'll revire.
00:20:16Bonsoir.
00:20:17Cous-ma-ni-ana.
00:20:20Who's your friend?
00:20:21He didn't say.
00:20:22Huh?
00:20:23No, he didn't say.
00:20:29You know, Pop, I've got an idea about this case.
00:20:32Yes, well?
00:20:33Well, I had an idea, but it's gone now.
00:20:37Possibly could not stay in solitary confinement.
00:20:42Quiet, please.
00:20:43We go now to watch studio rehearsal.
00:20:49No, Walter, you've broken your promise to me.
00:20:52Just when the landlord has broken our leaves,
00:20:55and Grandmama has broken her leg.
00:20:58Oh, Grandmama, what are we to do?
00:21:01Well, tears are all right to wash out your eyes,
00:21:03but they used up too many haggages.
00:21:06So face the future with a smile, my children,
00:21:08for tomorrow is bound to be another day.
00:21:11It is just bound to be.
00:21:16What does the future hold in store for Jean and her so lovable family?
00:21:22Have you tried a Marsh's mellow mixed waffle,
00:21:25covered with just oodles and oodles of melted butter and...
00:21:28Shut up!
00:21:29You two.
00:21:30Oodles and oodles of butter.
00:21:32With butter ration so strictly?
00:21:34Who wrote that in?
00:21:35Well, I thought it sounded nice.
00:21:37You thought?
00:21:38That's a lie.
00:21:39The whole program sounds as stupid as you.
00:21:41I should cancel my contract here and give my account to some other network.
00:21:45Mrs. Marsh, if that's how you feel about it, why don't you...
00:21:48Why don't I... what, Mr. Brett?
00:21:50Let us change the script and the announcement.
00:21:53Then do it instead of talking about it.
00:21:55And you, learn how to talk like a human instead of a gloop,
00:21:58or I'll change announcers too.
00:21:59Also, I...
00:22:03Sorry to interrupt again.
00:22:05Huh.
00:22:05You're sorry.
00:22:06If you want to speak to Miss Hall again, you'll wait till we are finished.
00:22:10So sorry.
00:22:12Must speak to everyone present.
00:22:14All of us?
00:22:15But why?
00:22:17Regarding a murder.
00:22:18Murder?
00:22:19But yesterday you said you were investigating my stolen car.
00:22:23Person who steal your car commit murder.
00:22:25But who was killed?
00:22:27Hey, Mr. Roush.
00:22:29I never heard of him.
00:22:30Thank goodness.
00:22:32You know what, Tommy?
00:22:33I'd like to get on the radio sometime.
00:22:36If I could get on...
00:22:37Oh, excuse me.
00:22:42Tommy!
00:22:45What's the matter?
00:22:47I got an urge that I want to leave, but my legs won't cooperate with me.
00:22:51You want to leave for where?
00:22:53I just saw something going there.
00:22:55It's a combination between Dracula and a zombie.
00:22:59Just fresh out of a graveyard.
00:23:00A graveyard?
00:23:01Mm-hmm.
00:23:02But an old one.
00:23:03Well, that I got to see.
00:23:04Well, go ahead.
00:23:05I ain't no hope.
00:23:07What does thou wish, laddie?
00:23:10Oh, nothing, sir.
00:23:11Excuse me.
00:23:12A friend of mine was seeing things.
00:23:16Did you see it?
00:23:17Yeah, it's hanging right on the door.
00:23:18It's hanging.
00:23:19It ain't natural.
00:23:19Let's go.
00:23:22One moment.
00:23:24We go.
00:23:25Tenth floor.
00:23:26Come.
00:23:30Let's go.
00:23:30Let's go.
00:23:52Hey, Fowler's across.
00:23:53We gotta always connect.
00:23:55Well.
00:23:56Charlie Chan.
00:23:57It's good to see you again.
00:23:58I'm most happy to see you, Mr. Hamilton.
00:24:01This is number three son, Tommy.
00:24:02How are you?
00:24:03And Birmingham Brown.
00:24:05These boys are second team assistants.
00:24:08You receive my telegram and follow instructions?
00:24:12Immediately.
00:24:13All of our radar equipment has been taken away by the government.
00:24:16What about record of experiments and copies of secret patents?
00:24:20The government has the originals.
00:24:22I have my own copies in the safe.
00:24:25Contents of safe only secure so long as someone outside watching safe.
00:24:31You know, since receiving your wire,
00:24:33I've found evidence of several attempts to break in here.
00:24:35Do you think I ought to hire special guards?
00:24:38No.
00:24:39Now that I am present, contents of safe becomes trap,
00:24:43and papers inside are only bait with which to catch enemy rat.
00:24:49Sure, a lot of gadgets in here.
00:24:51Yes, useful gadgets, too.
00:24:53Right here we began the work that today allows our night fighters
00:24:56to hunt down and destroy enemy airplanes without even seeing them.
00:25:00Gosh.
00:25:01That sounds spooky.
00:25:04Nearly radar.
00:25:06Radar?
00:25:08Radar?
00:25:08What is radar?
00:25:09Well, radar is sort of...
00:25:13Birmingham, don't you know anything?
00:25:15I know as much about radar as you do.
00:25:19Do I know as a thing.
00:25:21Now he ought to know I studied radar.
00:25:23What is that?
00:25:24A temperature or a climatic tunnel.
00:25:28You make weather in tunnel?
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:31That is, the extremes of heat and cold.
00:25:33To test the reliability of radar and television
00:25:36in all sorts of climatic conditions.
00:25:38The tunnel has two compartments, one for heat and one for cold.
00:25:40That light works flashing whenever there's a foreign body in the tunnel,
00:25:45no matter what the weather in there.
00:25:46Now this is a funny thing, you know.
00:25:48What is this?
00:25:52Help!
00:25:53Mr. Fitz, help!
00:25:54This light is going to crack it all with you.
00:25:56Help!
00:25:56Mr. Chance!
00:25:57Good, quick, Mr.
00:25:58Help!
00:25:59Mr. Chance!
00:26:00Help!
00:26:01Help!
00:26:02Mr. Chance!
00:26:03Help!
00:26:04Help!
00:26:05Help!
00:26:10Mr. Chance!
00:26:12Mr. Chance!
00:26:14When in strange laboratories,
00:26:16do not poke nose into strange machines like these.
00:26:23Also keep finger out of safe.
00:26:25Goodbye.
00:26:26Goodbye, Charlie.
00:26:27Thank you for coming in.
00:26:29Happy to have met you.
00:26:30Hope to see you some more.
00:26:31Goodbye.
00:26:31Goodbye, gentlemen.
00:26:34Come in.
00:26:44May I speak to you for a moment, Mr. Brett?
00:26:46Mr. Brett?
00:26:47Why all the formality, Gloria?
00:26:49I'm here on business.
00:26:51I want better parts and more money, starting tomorrow.
00:26:55You say that as if you were ordering me to give them to you.
00:26:58I am.
00:27:00Now look here, young lady.
00:27:02Instead of getting more parts, you're liable to lose those you already have.
00:27:06I wouldn't be so hasty, Mr. Brett.
00:27:08You'd better let me finish.
00:27:09Please, Gloria.
00:27:09I'm busy.
00:27:11Remember these.
00:27:15Remember them?
00:27:15What do you mean?
00:27:16That's the last pack of my private matches, Mr. Brett.
00:27:19And I gave them to you yesterday morning in this building.
00:27:23Well...
00:27:24Does that entitle you to order me to give you better jobs?
00:27:27Diane's car was stolen last night.
00:27:30I found these later in the seat.
00:27:34Well?
00:27:38Is this blackmail?
00:27:40Blackmail.
00:27:41Oh, that's bad, isn't it?
00:27:44Perhaps I'd just better give these to Mr. Chan and see what he says.
00:27:46Oh, wait.
00:27:48I'll see that you get better jobs.
00:27:52Thank you so much, Mr. Brett.
00:28:08The manager, please.
00:28:10Who's calling?
00:28:11This is Brett talking.
00:28:14Listen.
00:28:15Gloria Bain, an actress here, knows that I used Diana Hall's car last night.
00:28:19She's blackmailing me.
00:28:21What'll I do?
00:28:35Personally, I think the program needs an entire change of personnel.
00:28:38However, I'll listen from my office, and then I'll decide.
00:28:41What did you say?
00:28:43Then don't say it.
00:28:44Come along.
00:28:47Pop, how can we solve a case just by watching people through a glass?
00:28:52What detective needs is great patience.
00:28:54Oh, I know that.
00:28:55When it comes to detective work, I know my P's and Q's.
00:28:59But are you familiar with rest of alphabet?
00:29:04Oh, Walter, to drink when your wife's in trouble, to say nothing of my broken leg.
00:29:09Drink?
00:29:10It seems as though I've heard that word before.
00:29:13What are we to do?
00:29:15Trouble?
00:29:16Nothing but trouble staring us in the face.
00:29:20We must move by the first of the month, and we've no place to go.
00:29:24Why can't we settle down and be like other people?
00:29:29Now keep your chin up, Mary, and look on the brighter side.
00:29:35Of course, Grandmama, you're always right.
00:29:38Always.
00:29:42I never had such a sudden headache in my life.
00:29:45I was all set to do some fancy ad-living myself.
00:29:48Uh-oh, the battle-axe.
00:29:50Well, it wasn't bad.
00:29:52That is, not as bad as usual.
00:29:54You sounded poorly toward the end.
00:29:56Better stop gadding about.
00:29:58Come along.
00:29:58You want to stand here talking all night?
00:30:02Can I get you anything, Gloria?
00:30:04A cigarette might help.
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:09Will you give me a light, Mr. Brett?
00:30:11Why, of course.
00:30:21Oh, that's better.
00:30:32Oh, that's better.
00:30:33Gloria, what happened?
00:30:35Get young lady to dressing room.
00:30:36Quick, hurry.
00:30:37Bring her in here.
00:30:54I beg your pardon.
00:30:55Yes, please.
00:30:56Why is it that whenever anything happens around here, you're always on hand?
00:31:00That's just what they always tellin' me down at the office.
00:31:07Hey, Tommy, I know the cigarette shortage is tough, but that ain't no reason why you should snitch a cigarette
00:31:12butt from that old lady.
00:31:13You know I don't smoke, but what other people try to grab often turn out to be valuable clues.
00:31:18Clue to what?
00:31:19Well, uh, that's what we'll have to find out.
00:31:22You just include me out.
00:31:24Did anybody call her, doctor?
00:31:26Doctor, no use now.
00:31:28Young lady, already dead.
00:31:30Dead?
00:31:33The corner was right, sir.
00:31:35Well, he said Miss Bain was poisoned.
00:31:37Toxic reaction proved she was.
00:31:39But I don't know what type poison was used.
00:31:41I've never run into it before.
00:31:43Say, do you suspect any of the people who were present when she died?
00:31:48Suspect everyone on general principle.
00:31:51But to assistance, already watching person who interests me most.
00:31:56Thank you so much, doctor.
00:31:58Good night.
00:31:59Good night.
00:32:10Good night.
00:32:13Good night.
00:32:18Good night.
00:32:25Well what do you want?
00:32:28Why, Cooper.
00:32:31Broad.
00:32:32How are you?
00:32:34Not Broad now.
00:32:36It's Brett.
00:32:37Come on in.
00:32:54So it's Brett now instead of Broad, huh?
00:32:57It was Brett when we worked in France together.
00:32:59Remember?
00:33:00Seems like we're working together again.
00:33:03Thought I recognized your voice on my phone.
00:33:06Asking for the manager, please.
00:33:08Oh, so you're the manager.
00:33:09The head man of the party, huh?
00:33:12Not me.
00:33:13I just answer the phone.
00:33:16Someone else, someone unknown to me, listens in.
00:33:19And if the caller is okay,
00:33:21the call is switched away from this line.
00:33:25I see.
00:33:28What do you care if we don't know who our boss is?
00:33:31We've worked that way before.
00:33:33I've got to know, Cooper.
00:33:35There's been two murders on this job already.
00:33:37Two murders?
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:43I see what you mean.
00:33:44We should know the name of our boss to protect ourselves.
00:33:50Listen.
00:33:53Hello?
00:33:54Who's calling?
00:33:55Manager, please.
00:34:02See how it works?
00:34:03Yes.
00:34:04Yeah.
00:34:05I see.
00:34:08Well, if you learn anything, let me know.
00:34:11We'll need a lot of information.
00:34:13We have to squeal.
00:34:19What's the matter?
00:34:20Someone's coming.
00:34:20I'm going.
00:34:29You hear nothing which is said inside strange office?
00:34:33Just a mumble and a jumble, Mr. Chan.
00:34:36But outside in hall, you overhear Mr. Cooper call Mr. Brett Mr. Brought.
00:34:42That's right, Pop.
00:34:43Mean anything to you, Charlie?
00:34:44British intelligence-seeking espionage agent named Ralph Brought.
00:34:49Ralph Brought.
00:34:50Oh, and the radio station manager calls himself Ralph Brett.
00:34:56Nothing in office except table chair and telephone, huh?
00:35:00Yes, sir.
00:35:01It must have been a race book in office.
00:35:02Because it was just as clean as I is when I make a bet.
00:35:07Captain, please detail man to check all people coming and going from office 211 Algarve building.
00:35:13Right.
00:35:15Believe we make Mr. Brett surprise visit.
00:35:19Come.
00:35:19Boy, here we go again.
00:35:21Surprise visit.
00:35:21No surprise me.
00:35:32Brett absent downstairs.
00:35:34Also here.
00:35:35Do you think he's run away, Pop?
00:35:42Is that the heel print you're looking for?
00:35:45The person who wear this shoe killed Roush.
00:35:49My gosh.
00:35:50You mean Brett murdered this fellow Roush?
00:36:08You must locate Mr. Brett at once.
00:36:11You must locate Mr. Brett at once.
00:36:11Where is he?
00:36:11Your boy.
00:36:11Oh, my gosh.
00:36:12I know.
00:36:13Oh, my gosh.
00:36:15You know.
00:36:20You must be late.
00:36:26Yes.
00:36:27Oh, my gosh.
00:36:28I know my gosh.
00:36:29My goodness.
00:36:29Good luck.
00:36:32Oh, my gosh.
00:36:32Good luck.
00:36:33You must like anything.
00:36:36Good luck.
00:36:37Good luck.
00:36:46Manager, please.
00:36:48Where's Kai?
00:36:49Fred.
00:36:51Listen.
00:36:52Charlie Chan knows all about the Roush murder.
00:36:55He's after me.
00:36:57You've got to protect me.
00:36:58What do I do?
00:37:22Right here in this building.
00:37:31Go, Man City!
00:37:31Go, Man City!
00:37:32.
00:37:39.
00:37:48.
00:37:53.
00:37:53.
00:37:53.
00:37:58Do a man say Mr. Brett's still here.
00:38:00Has not left building.
00:38:06Mr. Ryan.
00:38:07Yeah.
00:38:08You see Mr. Brett lately?
00:38:10I saw him eavesdropping outside of his own office.
00:38:12As if there were a couple of ex-wives in there waiting to collect alimony.
00:38:17Not funny, huh?
00:38:19When do you see this?
00:38:20About 20 minutes ago.
00:38:22Pop, that's when we were in there.
00:38:24Must ask police to guard all doors.
00:38:26Police?
00:38:27Why?
00:38:28Because Brett is a murderer.
00:38:29Brett a murderer?
00:38:31That kills me.
00:38:33Hmm.
00:38:33Nice people I'm working for.
00:38:35Birmingham, we've got to find Brett.
00:38:36Well, what's the right?
00:38:37Because he's a killer.
00:38:39Yeah, it'll just be my luck to catch up with it.
00:38:41Come on.
00:38:43Say, it's eight hours since Brett has been seen.
00:38:46You know, he must have a hideout somewhere in this building.
00:38:49You have man posted at every exit?
00:38:51Sure.
00:38:52He can't get by them.
00:38:54I think we'll take a look on various floors.
00:38:57Good.
00:39:05I've got to change the water before I'm cleaning some more.
00:39:12You know, Birmingham, everywhere we go, we bump into that woman.
00:39:15Oh, don't be so suspicious, Tommy.
00:39:17After a while, you'll be telling me I did the murder.
00:39:24Oh, look here.
00:39:24Look here.
00:39:25Did you see...
00:39:26Not in the last ten minutes.
00:39:27No.
00:39:28No, but there was a fella here.
00:39:29Him?
00:39:29Yeah.
00:39:29Oh, he ain't the one.
00:39:31No.
00:39:31No, the fella I'm looking for here.
00:39:33I didn't see him.
00:39:34But if you wait until I...
00:39:35I ain't got time.
00:39:36No.
00:39:37But maybe if you could...
00:39:37I'm busy that night.
00:39:38Oh, sure now.
00:39:39Yeah.
00:39:39Say, look here.
00:39:40Right.
00:39:40Do you think that...
00:39:42Ah, no, it's getting late.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:44Why don't you...
00:39:45I ain't got a phone.
00:39:46No.
00:39:46But I could if you were...
00:39:47Well, my car's in the shop.
00:39:48Oh, yes?
00:39:49Mm-hmm.
00:39:49Well, I'll see you then.
00:39:50I'll be seeing you call me, huh?
00:39:51Okay, kid.
00:39:51Okay, so long.
00:39:52All right, goodbye.
00:39:54Do you know that he is?
00:39:55He can't be that bad.
00:39:58Look, the laboratory door is open.
00:40:00Yeah?
00:40:00Do you suppose Brett's in here?
00:40:02Well, if he is, let him stay in there.
00:40:03I'm tired of tangling with them gadgets.
00:40:07Well, it ain't no use to be in this lonesome.
00:40:11Uh, nobody home.
00:40:12Let's go.
00:40:13Wait.
00:40:15Ow.
00:40:16What's the matter?
00:40:18Look, the safe bin robber.
00:40:19Perhaps the robber is still in here.
00:40:21Robbers and murderers.
00:40:22Why, this is a regular cleaning and dine place.
00:40:24Let's get out of here.
00:40:25Come, come.
00:40:29Could have been a little light around here.
00:40:31Shh.
00:40:32Mm.
00:40:33Uh-oh, I'm surrounded.
00:40:35Come.
00:40:39Say, this look like a good hiding place.
00:40:41Let's take a look.
00:40:42Let's take a look.
00:40:44And nothing will do him to go in and take a look.
00:40:47All right, you know what, Tommy?
00:40:49When you're hunting a killer,
00:40:50you're supposed to have a lot on the outside just in case.
00:40:53So I think I'll stay on the outside just in case.
00:40:56In case of what?
00:40:57That the killer's in here.
00:40:58Don't you stay with me.
00:41:00All right.
00:41:01Gosh, it's dark in here.
00:41:02It sure is.
00:41:03Wait, I'll turn on the light.
00:41:07Hey, come on here.
00:41:09You're standing on the light.
00:41:09Get out of here.
00:41:11Let's do it.
00:41:12Let's do it.
00:41:13Let's do it.
00:41:13Let's do it.
00:41:14Hey, come on.
00:41:15Woo-hoo.
00:41:15Woo-hoo.
00:41:16Woo-hoo.
00:41:41Hey.
00:41:42Hey, who turned off the heat?
00:41:44Who turned off the coal?
00:41:45Oh, ain't this something?
00:41:50Hey, I sure wish I had some snow juice.
00:41:53I wish I had a little underwear.
00:41:55Boy, Eskimos are crazy to live in this kind of stuff.
00:42:03Hey, it looks like the place has been robbed.
00:42:06Looks, in this case, not deceiving.
00:42:14Glassing light indicates someone in tunnel.
00:42:36Hello? Someone in here?
00:42:40Is that someone going?
00:42:42Yes.
00:42:43Yes.
00:42:47Well, well.
00:42:50What a little tunnel, Pop.
00:42:54It ain't a place to get a suntan.
00:42:57What you two do in here?
00:42:59Anybody else in tunnel?
00:43:02Go away, Pop.
00:43:04Was Spricka Light working when you come in here?
00:43:12Should we fall again?
00:43:14Well, nothing matters, Pop.
00:43:17I tell you, Pop, there's no one else in here.
00:43:20But the papers are missing from Hamilton State.
00:43:23Someone besides assistance, is this proof?
00:43:50We've got Pratt, but he's dead.
00:43:55The coroner's just finished, Charlie.
00:43:57He says Brett wasn't poisoned.
00:43:59He died of a fall from a great height.
00:44:03Brett last seen alive on second floor of Cosmo building.
00:44:08Later, he found dead on tenth floor.
00:44:13Someone would have us believe victim fall eight stories up.
00:44:17Up.
00:44:29Hello.
00:44:30I'll look at the telephone now.
00:44:32No one sent for you.
00:44:33Isn't the name Cooper?
00:44:34Why, yes.
00:44:40Go on with work.
00:44:43Mr. Cooper, alias Carper, alias Cowper.
00:44:48Charlie Chan.
00:44:49I remember you since last time I arrested you.
00:44:53Six years ago in Singapore, remember?
00:44:57Yeah, I remember.
00:45:00Very great pleasure to arrest you again, Mr. Cooper.
00:45:04For whom you work now?
00:45:07I'm not talking.
00:45:08You talked with your friend, Mr. Brett, yesterday.
00:45:12Now he is murdered.
00:45:14Brett?
00:45:15Murdered?
00:45:17I had nothing to do with it.
00:45:18I don't know who I work for.
00:45:20I only answer the phone.
00:45:22Someone else switches the calls.
00:45:24I never hear a thing.
00:45:33What'd you find out?
00:45:34There's a cut-in relay installed here, Mr. Chan.
00:45:37Calls can be switched.
00:45:38Can you locate place where calls switch to?
00:45:41Yeah, but it might take a couple of days.
00:45:44Keep working.
00:45:46You gentlemen will remain with Mr. Cooper.
00:45:49He will continue to answer phone calls as usual.
00:45:53I'll do it.
00:45:54I'm not getting mixed up in murder.
00:45:56Good.
00:46:01Mr. Dixon?
00:46:02Yes, the radio impersonator.
00:46:04Glad to meet you, Mr. Chan.
00:46:05Radio impersonator.
00:46:07Good.
00:46:08You know what you are to do?
00:46:11Death of Mr. Brett not yet made public.
00:46:14Wish to try experiment.
00:46:16I'm ready, sir.
00:46:32Hello?
00:46:33Hello?
00:46:35Who's calling?
00:46:36This is Brett calling.
00:46:38Hurry it up.
00:46:39Brett.
00:46:40Brett.
00:46:41I've got to see you.
00:46:50Dead.
00:46:59Use service elevator.
00:47:03Come seventh floor.
00:47:07If I not there, come tenth floor.
00:47:15It's the unknown leader, Charlie.
00:47:17The one you're after.
00:47:18To kill her, Pop.
00:47:19Thank you so much.
00:47:20Please say nothing of this to anyone.
00:47:22I understand.
00:47:31No one's in sight, Pop.
00:47:33We go tenth floor.
00:47:40Wait.
00:47:41Uh, we go tenth floor by stairs.
00:47:44Uh, you go in elevator.
00:47:46That way we have killer between us.
00:47:54There's a little walkin'.
00:47:56Ha, ha, ha.
00:47:57Cause I've never said...
00:47:58Ha!
00:48:00Hmm.
00:48:00There's a long way down.
00:48:04Ha!
00:48:04Ha!
00:48:04Oh, good gracious.
00:48:06Help!
00:48:06Come in somebody!
00:48:08Help!
00:48:14Elevator already arrived.
00:48:18Birmingham, come out of there.
00:48:20Is that you, Mr. Chan?
00:48:21For heaven's sakes, come get me out of here.
00:48:23Well, get down.
00:48:25Get down yourself.
00:48:26Get down.
00:48:26Oh, not without a parachute.
00:48:28One drop of this is certain death.
00:48:30Birmingham, what are you talking about?
00:48:32Mr. Chan, what is you standing on?
00:48:35On the floor.
00:48:36The floor?
00:48:37Get down.
00:48:37Where did that floor come from?
00:48:41Well, what do you mean, what floor come from?
00:48:44What...
00:48:44Mr. Chan, when I was down on the seventh floor,
00:48:46that elevator floor went out from under me
00:48:48and left me standing on nothing.
00:48:50You can sure imagine things, Birmingham.
00:48:52Imagine.
00:48:53No, I ain't, Mr. Chan.
00:48:54When I went in that elevator,
00:48:55the elevator door closed.
00:48:56That floor went out from under me
00:48:58just like a trap door
00:48:59and left me hanging on my fingernail.
00:49:00I was looking out eight or nine floors.
00:49:02Straight down.
00:49:03You mean to say bottom of elevator fallout?
00:49:07Yes, sir.
00:49:13Perhaps Mr. Brett receives same message we get.
00:49:16You mean come to the seventh floor,
00:49:17then to the tenth, Pop?
00:49:18Believe fate save us, Pop.
00:49:20He was lost from dying same way Mr. Brett died.
00:49:23He was killed by fall from great height.
00:49:27We descend to basement.
00:49:29Yes, Pop.
00:49:30No.
00:49:31Not by elevator.
00:49:32Come.
00:49:37Blood stains on floor of shaft.
00:49:40This is where Mr. Brett fall to death.
00:49:47You're getting to be a habit.
00:49:49Coming in here and interrupting my program rehearsals.
00:49:52It's an outrage.
00:49:53Murder also outrage.
00:49:55Do you know what I pay for my programs?
00:49:58I'm interested only that murderer shall pay for killing of Miss Bain and Mr. Brett.
00:50:04You are present when Miss Bain die.
00:50:07You're stupid thinking these people would murder anyone.
00:50:10They're too busy murdering the English language.
00:50:12Testimony is Miss Bain say she expect more work and more money.
00:50:17Gloria did say something like that.
00:50:20That's right.
00:50:21Who can give her more work and more money?
00:50:24Mr. Brett?
00:50:25Certainly.
00:50:25He's the slave driver.
00:50:27Or rather he was.
00:50:31Very friendly with Mr. Brett?
00:50:33Gloria couldn't stand him.
00:50:35She detested him and oh.
00:50:37Yes?
00:50:38I just remembered.
00:50:39Gloria did say she'd talked with Brett.
00:50:41Gloria said he'd promised her a lot more work.
00:50:44I was surprised because I knew he liked her no better than she liked him.
00:50:49Wait.
00:50:50Gloria, you did say something like that.
00:50:51Something about, uh, about...
00:50:54Oh.
00:50:55Did she say what, Mr. Renn?
00:50:56Oh, I don't recall.
00:50:58You see, I gab a lot and other people gab back at me.
00:51:02I can't remember half of the things I hear.
00:51:05Please try to remember.
00:51:07Might be most important clue.
00:51:09Yes, surely.
00:51:09It'll come back to me.
00:51:11And when it does, I'll tell you right away, sir.
00:51:14That is all.
00:51:15Thank you so much.
00:51:16Thanks indeed.
00:51:17Come, Herbert.
00:51:22Well, what do you make of it, Charlie?
00:51:25So many fish in fish market.
00:51:28Even flowers smell same.
00:51:31Much confusion.
00:51:38We go on in 20 seconds.
00:51:44This is television experimental station, WXK9X, presenting Willie Rand, Ace Comedian, and his own conception of the dance of the
00:51:51spirit.
00:52:09What do you do here?
00:52:10Pop, we were just about to go out to look for you.
00:52:12So it seems.
00:52:13Honest, Pop.
00:52:14Mr. Rand said he remembers something important.
00:52:16He wants to see you right after this show.
00:52:24And his own conception of the naughty boy.
00:52:27Oh.
00:52:27Oh.
00:52:28I'm pulling.
00:52:28Oh.
00:52:30Oh.
00:52:31And his own.
00:52:37Oh.
00:52:39Oh.
00:52:40Oh.
00:52:42Oh.
00:52:42Oh.
00:52:42No.
00:52:54I made a favor and didn't ask for it.
00:53:01Now, ladies and gentlemen, we transfer you to Tele Studio No. 2,
00:53:05where Miguel Moreno and his marimba band carry on during the second portion of the program.
00:53:11Well, Willie, what happened to your closing speech?
00:53:13Did you forget it?
00:53:14Yes, Willie, what happened?
00:53:15I... I don't know what happened.
00:53:17You got a cigarette?
00:53:21Thanks, old man.
00:53:29Mr. Ant, number three son Tommy tell me you remember something you wish to tell me.
00:53:34Now I remember what Gloria told me.
00:53:37And I've got a lot of other good information for you, too.
00:53:39Yes, yes.
00:53:40This afternoon, when I was up on the seventh floor, I saw...
00:53:46I...
00:53:46Why, what trouble, Mr. Ant?
00:53:55Charlie, he's dead.
00:53:57Dead?
00:53:58Get cigarette, he smoked.
00:54:00That same analyzed quickly.
00:54:02Mr. Chester, you come with me.
00:54:12Mr. Chan, my office is never locked.
00:54:14The people on television and radio are in and out of here at all hours.
00:54:30Well, Mr. Chan, I've never seen that thing before in my life.
00:54:32One moment, please.
00:54:33This is obviously control switch for mysterious trap door and service elevator.
00:54:40Mr. Chester, we visit police headquarters.
00:54:47The man was poisoned by the same stuff that killed Miss Bain.
00:54:50But there is no poison in the cigarette he smoked.
00:54:52They said Miss Bain smoked the cigarette just before she died, Pop.
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:56Also given her by Mr. Chester.
00:54:58That janitress.
00:54:59She picked this up right where Miss Bain fell.
00:55:00I took it away from her.
00:55:02This is cigarette smoked by Miss Bain?
00:55:04Yes.
00:55:05Tested.
00:55:06Why did you not mention this before?
00:55:09It just slipped my mind, Pop.
00:55:10Oh, slipped mind.
00:55:15There's no poison in this either.
00:55:17Release, Mr. Chester.
00:55:19Oh, but Charlie, the gadget that worked the elevator, is in his office.
00:55:22Sure, he must be the unknown espionage leader we're after, Pop.
00:55:25The person who sent messages to Mr. Brett on teletype machine
00:55:29must have similar machine at other end of line.
00:55:32There is no teletype instrument in Mr. Chester's office.
00:55:38Release him.
00:55:46What are we to do?
00:55:47Trouble?
00:55:49Nothing but trouble staring at me.
00:55:53Why, this program is strictly slush.
00:55:56It is transcription of last program made by Miss Bain
00:56:00when she dies so strangely.
00:56:02Only wish to hear end of program.
00:56:05We must move by the first of the month, and we've no place to go.
00:56:10Why can't we...
00:56:11Hey, she must have stepped nearer the microphone.
00:56:14She did.
00:56:14Please, turn up volume.
00:56:17Now listen very quietly.
00:56:20Down.
00:56:21And be like...
00:56:25You hear strange noise?
00:56:27Yes, a popping noise when she was sobbing.
00:56:30We hear same noise on record of Mr. Rand's voice made during television broadcast.
00:56:38Believe now, know how both Miss Bain and Mr. Rand were killed.
00:56:43We'll need assistance of radio technician to prove it.
00:56:47Please?
00:56:48Right away.
00:57:00Hey, those look like bits of glass.
00:57:03Or gelatin used in making capsule.
00:57:07We have only part of proof.
00:57:10Now we visit Studio C downstairs.
00:57:21Murderer ready to do more business.
00:57:23This is what we look for.
00:57:26Thank you so much.
00:57:29Doc, my radio man said that the studio microphones were rigged so that a shortwave radio beam sent from some
00:57:36part of the building, it would explode those capsules.
00:57:45There is some sort of colorless gas in the capsule, Mr. Chan.
00:57:48But it certainly is not poison.
00:57:51Uh, cigarette, please, doctor.
00:57:53When did you start smoking, Pop?
00:57:55Quiet.
00:57:56Would you kindly light same, please?
00:58:05Now you will blow some smoke into the beaker.
00:58:10Uh, just what is it, Pop?
00:58:24Well, that's it, Mr. Chan.
00:58:27Alone, either the gas or the cigarette is harmless.
00:58:29But if someone first inhaled gas and then pretty soon smoked cigarette.
00:58:34The combination of gas and nicotine becomes a poison and kills instantly.
00:58:39Thank you so much, doctor.
00:58:40That is exactly what I wanted to know.
00:58:44My men are at every exit with orders not to let any of our people leave the building.
00:58:48Good.
00:58:49Mrs. Marsh, Mr. Sinclair, and Miss Hall already here.
00:58:56Well?
00:58:57Chester, Nelson, and Carlos are in the building, Pop. Even that wacky janitor.
00:59:02Good.
00:59:03All suspects on hand.
00:59:05Come.
00:59:12Believe leader of enemy agents and killer of Roush
00:59:16have office somewhere on this floor.
00:59:19Office containing teletype machine.
00:59:21Okay.
00:59:22We'll soon find out.
00:59:29Framingham, you take another office.
00:59:30For alone, not me. I like company.
00:59:39Look.
00:59:40Pop! Captain Flynn, we found one.
00:59:51Do you suppose this is the machine we want?
00:59:54Could be.
01:00:07Here is a shortwave radio set used to explode death capsule.
01:00:12Let's get another group.
01:00:15Have a good one, chester.
01:00:16Let's get another group.
01:00:16Here we go.
01:00:16Let's go.
01:00:28Put the station on a bus.
01:00:30You won't have a good one.
01:00:30Let's go.
01:00:49Pa, she's going up the stairs.
01:00:52Warn guards at exits.
01:00:53Thanks.
01:01:05I go other end of tunnel.
01:01:07We catch murderer between us.
01:01:09Yes, Pop.
01:01:11We'll catch the guy while Pop's waiting for him.
01:01:13Come with me.
01:01:13Sure.
01:01:14Whoa.
01:01:16I think I'll stick with Mr. Chan.
01:01:19Now, listen, Birmingham.
01:01:20When we see him, I'll hit him high, you hit him low.
01:01:24Understand, Birmingham?
01:01:31Birmingham!
01:01:33Birmingham!
01:01:34I wonder what happened to him, son.
01:01:36Ah!
01:01:40Ah!
01:01:43Ah!
01:01:46Ah!
01:01:48Ah!
01:01:48Ah!
01:01:48Ah!
01:01:48Ah!
01:01:51Ah!
01:01:51Ah!
01:01:52Ah!
01:01:54OK, son?
01:01:55Sure, Pop.
01:01:56The guy couldn't hit the side of a body even if he was inside of it.
01:01:59Mm-hm.
01:01:59Come.
01:02:00Come.
01:02:00Hurry.
01:02:14The elevator is at the first floor, Pop.
01:02:16He must have gone down.
01:02:22Ah!
01:02:23Ah!
01:02:23Ah!
01:02:25Ah!
01:02:28Ah!
01:02:29Ah!
01:02:29Ah!
01:02:29Ah!
01:02:29Ah!
01:02:33Hey, Charlie.
01:02:34He tried to come down the stairs.
01:02:35As I went up, I fired.
01:02:37And he came back this way!
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:47Again, we just escaped death by elevator.
01:02:50Park, there's someone in Office 703. The door's open.
01:02:53Go, quick.
01:02:53Let's get out.
01:03:02Murderer now traveled without costume disguise.
01:03:05Come.
01:03:14What?
01:03:20Killer caught in the own trap.
01:03:24We find murderer in basement. Come.
01:03:27Then you're not a Swedish janitor at all.
01:03:29This is Miss Janet Carter, government investigator.
01:03:33I came here a month ago at Mr. Chan's orders.
01:03:35To keep eye on people coming and going from radar laboratory.
01:03:40No one suspected the janitors of being a government operative.
01:03:43You are a very great assistance, Janet.
01:03:47No, please. Do not look at her.
01:03:49Her?
01:03:51Mrs. Marsh.
01:03:52No, I'd never have believed it.
01:03:54Hey, Pa, what about the stolen radar papers?
01:03:57Papers she stole are worthless.
01:03:59Real radar secrets removed some time ago at my suggestion.
01:04:04Oh, what's the matter? What's wrong, Charlie?
01:04:06As usual, at end of case, I have discovered everything except whereabouts of my second assistant, Birmingham Brown.
01:04:15Yeah, where did he go?
01:04:26Hey, which way is out? I want to get away from these faces. They're scaring people.
01:04:31Oh, right out this way.
01:04:33Good gracious.
01:04:34Come here.
01:04:36Oh, that's mean.
01:04:37Let me see this thing.
01:04:41I think I'd rather take this one.
01:04:43Goodbye.
