00:02The
00:37The End
01:19Sonny, coming, Captain Drummond.
01:27I took the liberty of putting a little brandy in it, sir.
01:30It wasn't a liberty, Tenny. That was an act of Christian kindness.
01:33I rather thought you might say so, sir.
01:35Well, Tenny, this is our last day as a bachelor.
01:37Yes, sir. After today, we'll be a married man, sir.
01:41And if we're not, it won't be our fault this time.
01:46Now, let's see.
01:47We've done everything Miss Phyllis asked us to.
01:49We've stayed shut up in the house for days.
01:51No newspapers, no letters, no guns.
01:53Tenny, you did dispose of all the guns.
01:55Have you got a problem?
01:57Oh, yes. Oh, yes, sir. All the guns.
01:59Tenny, I believe you're cons...
02:00Take it. Take it.
02:06We're not catching cold, are we, sir?
02:08You can blame Elsie if we are.
02:10It was his idea of taking away our trousers so we couldn't leave the house.
02:12It was a very effective idea, if I may say so, sir.
02:15Tenny, he didn't leave a pair by any chance?
02:17Not even rompers, sir.
02:19They've all gone with the luggage.
02:21Except, of course, the ones that Mr. Longworth's bringing with him.
02:24And no money, either.
02:25I hope Colonel Nielsen won't forget to bring that when he comes.
02:27Oh, I think Colonel Nielsen can be relied upon for that, sir.
02:30And the tickets to Nice, who has them?
02:31Mr. Longworth, sir.
02:32What, Algy?
02:33Tickets and trousers, both?
02:35Oh, that's quite a responsibility for one man.
02:37Especially for Mr. Longworth, if I may say so, sir.
02:39Now, I think I'd better check up on him, Tenny.
02:41Oh, pardon me, sir.
02:42We promised Miss Phyllis that we wouldn't use the telephone, except an emergency.
02:47But this is an emergency, Tenny.
02:48Now, supposing Algy brought the tickets and forgot the trousers.
02:51Can you imagine a honeymoon under circumstances like that?
02:53I can, sir.
02:54Rather awkward, I'd say, sir.
02:56Then we'll agree that this is an emergency?
02:58Oh, definitely, sir.
03:00That is, it has all the year marks of one.
03:03Hello, exchange.
03:04Get me, uh, four, four, four, four, sir.
03:11How's he long worth this end?
03:13Hello, are you there?
03:15Oh, it's you, old fellow.
03:18Wedding?
03:19What wedding?
03:19Oh, my wedding, you blithering idiot.
03:21Now, listen, Algy, pay strict attention.
03:23Have you got the tickets?
03:24You bet I have.
03:25Right here in my pocket.
03:27Good.
03:28Uh, now, listen carefully, Algy.
03:29Have you got my trousers?
03:32She has them.
03:33May I suggest, sir, that you inquire about mine?
03:35Yes, and have you got Tenney's trousers?
03:38Yes, he has them, too.
03:40Thank you, sir.
03:41Well, Algy, Algy, have you got your own trousers?
03:44Have I got my own trousers?
03:45Now, Hugh, old boy, I...
03:47Uh-oh.
03:48Hugh, I forgot to put them on.
03:51What'll I do?
03:58Captain Drummond is on the wire, sir.
04:01All right, put him through.
04:05Hello, Hugh, what do you want now?
04:08Yes, of course, I've got your money and the marriage license.
04:12Yes.
04:12I simply thought it might be a good idea to...
04:14All you have to do is to stay inside that house of yours and keep out of trouble.
04:20What?
04:21I simply asked if you were certain this wedding isn't dragging you away from some important case.
04:26No, there's not a thing on my desk you can stick your long, unwanted, interfering nose into, Hugh Drummond.
04:32And you're supposed not to talk on the telephone.
04:35Goodbye.
04:39Hello?
04:41Of course it's Phyllis.
04:43Hugh, darling, you promised not to use the telephone.
04:47Has anything happened?
04:48No, no, no, darling.
04:49I just wanted to know if...
04:50If she has the rings, sir.
04:52Yes.
04:52Have you got the rings?
04:53Of course I've got the rings.
04:55Now, will you behave yourself and do as you've been told?
04:58Oh, but, sweetheart, I am.
05:00She has the rings.
05:00And if I don't get out of this place soon, I'll go crazy.
05:03Pardon me, sir.
05:04We shall go crazy, sir.
05:06Yes, we shall go crazy.
05:08I'm leaving right now to pick up Colonel Nielsen at Greystone Manor.
05:11We'll be there in no time at all.
05:14Of course I love you.
05:17Bye.
05:18Goodbye, sweet.
05:20Well, Tenny, she's on her way.
05:22Nothing can stop us now.
05:23This time we're going to be married.
05:24It would seem, sir, sir.
05:26It's self-sacrifice it's done, Tenny.
05:28Staying shut up here for days, weeks, years, centuries.
05:31But it's worth it, Tenny.
05:32It's worth it.
05:33I dare say, sir.
05:34May I make a suggestion, sir?
05:36Certainly.
05:36What is it?
05:36The telephone, sir.
05:37Yes, what about it?
05:38It might be the one weak link in an otherwise invincible chain, sir.
05:43You're right, Tenny.
05:44We might be lured into something over the wire.
05:47Precisely, sir.
05:49Ah, thank you.
05:54Now we are protected.
05:56Not wholly, sir.
05:57Hmm?
05:58Ah, please.
06:01May I, Pardo, suggest so?
06:05Ah, an excellent idea, Tenny.
06:07I rather like it, sir.
06:12I rather like it, Tenny.
06:38Phillips.
06:42Phillips, where are you?
06:44Colonel Nielsen.
06:51Good evening, Colonel.
06:53Ah.
06:55And who are you?
06:57I'm afraid Scotland Yard is slipping.
07:01You didn't wear a beard when you ran away and your face is darker.
07:04The African sun.
07:05The African sun.
07:07I see.
07:09The photographs on our files were a much younger man.
07:13Richard Lane.
07:15Some kind of an ex-diplomat.
07:17Decorated by the Crown during the war for services of unusual merit.
07:22Oh.
07:23The Crown made a mistake.
07:24So you do remember me?
07:26Scotland Yard never forgets a spy until he's shot.
07:29Oh, Colonel, let's avoid the unpleasant words.
07:31Won't you join me?
07:32Oh, how nice of you.
07:34May I suggest the sherry? You'll find it excellent.
07:36Oh, fine.
07:38Aren't you a bit curious as to why I'm here?
07:40No, no, no, no, no.
07:42You've undoubtedly come all the way from Africa to give yourself up.
07:45Ha, ha. Scarcely that.
07:47Well, perhaps you've come to return the plans of the Brenton bomber.
07:50Which you auctioned off to an enemy government twelve years ago.
07:53Oh, my, you have an excellent memory, Colonel.
07:56So they tell me.
07:59I suppose it surprises you that the fox comes hunting for the hound?
08:02You doubtless expected to get away?
08:04Oh, yes, yes, of course.
08:05You see, had I called upon you at the yard, the odds would have been too great, even for me.
08:09How dare say.
08:10Oh, yes, yes.
08:14Will you excuse me for a moment?
08:16Oh, no, wait a moment.
08:17I'm sorry, Colonel.
08:18I'm only trying to help you. Here's the key.
08:21Oh.
08:22My apologies.
08:30Luck seems to have turned against me.
08:33You ought to know that all important papers are kept in the yard.
08:36Yes, I should have thought about that.
08:40You were preparing to attend Captain Drummond's wedding, weren't you?
08:43How do you know about Drummond's wedding?
08:45Your man, Phillips, was quite informative.
08:47It will simplify things a great deal if you are equally so.
08:50And if I retain my clam-like silence?
08:53Won't you sit down?
08:57You servicemen are all alike.
08:59Very much the same in spirit.
09:01Admirable, too, in a way.
09:03Now you, for example, remind me of Commander Knox,
09:06when I requested information about the 18-inch coast gun.
09:09So you were responsible for his disappearance?
09:12Yes.
09:12Many great nations will pay money for each other's war secrets.
09:16Really?
09:18A great deal of money.
09:22Now, isn't it a fact, Colonel,
09:24that your government has designs for a radio wave disintegrator
09:26which will make it impossible for an enemy to intercept your signal during time of war?
09:32I hadn't heard of it.
09:33Oh, come, come.
09:35The Burton signal apparatus.
09:37Invented by one of the odds' own radio technicians.
09:39You know all about it.
09:41You're going to tell me.
09:44And just how do you propose to make me tell you?
09:51If you persist in being obstinate, Colonel,
09:53I'm afraid you'll be late for Captain Drummond's wedding.
10:20Good evening.
10:22Good evening.
10:23I've called for Colonel Neilson.
10:25And you are?
10:26Miss Clavering.
10:27Oh, yes, yes, of course, Miss Clavering.
10:29Where's Phillips?
10:30Well, this is Phillips' night off.
10:32His night off?
10:33Yes, cinema, I believe.
10:34I talked to him a little while ago.
10:36It must have been rather sudden.
10:37It was rather sudden.
10:39Well, I'm in a frightful hurry.
10:40I wonder if you'd be good enough to tell the Colonel I'm here.
10:43Miss Clavering, perhaps I'd better explain.
10:45You see, I'm the new tenant of Greystone Manor.
10:48The new tenant?
10:49Yes.
10:50But I talked to the Colonel only this morning.
10:53And he didn't tell you?
10:54No.
10:55Well, that's strange.
10:57Of course, the Colonel's a busy man, but he turned the place over to me today.
11:02And he's not here?
11:04No.
11:05He, uh, he's gone to Rockham Lodge to be with Captain Drummond.
11:08Then I must hurry.
11:11Well, Miss Clavering, uh, since we're going to be neighbors, I, I do hope to see more of you and
11:16Captain Drummond.
11:17You know about the wedding?
11:18Yes, the Colonel told me, and might I offer my good wishes.
11:25Do you mind if I ask you something?
11:27No, not at all.
11:28I have the strangest feeling of having known you before.
11:32No, I hardly think so.
11:33I couldn't have forgotten so charming an acquaintance.
11:37That's very nice of you.
11:38Good night.
11:39Good night, Miss Clavering.
11:53Good night.
12:00Good night.
12:03Good night.
12:06Good night.
12:53Hello?
12:55Get me Captain Drummond at Rockingham Lodge.
12:57Hurry, please.
13:04But they must answer.
13:05Someone's there, I know.
13:07Try again.
13:16Louder, Penny, louder.
13:25Oh, I know, sir.
13:26I know.
13:28A wish for the Helen Nectar.
13:30Oh, Penny, you anticipate my every wish.
13:31With the perfume of the purple heather in every drop, sir.
13:35Well, I do believe you're a poet.
13:37Thank you, sir.
13:38And a good fellow.
13:39Well, you're not so bad yourself, sir.
13:44Well, Penny, since it's our last day as a bachelor, shall we drink to...
13:47Miss Phyllis, sir?
13:48Aye.
13:49And it's a bonnie last year, sir.
13:55That's how we...
13:55Our pants.
13:59Ready, Penny?
14:01Sound off.
14:05Darling!
14:09Hugh, something terrible.
14:10Who, me?
14:11It's the colonel.
14:12He's gone.
14:12With my money, the scoundrel.
14:13He's been kidnapped.
14:14Do you hear that, Penny?
14:15Somebody stole the colonel.
14:16Great scot, sir.
14:17What will he be taking next?
14:19Generals?
14:20A man with a beard.
14:21And a costume one eye.
14:22Oh, Hugh, please be serious.
14:24There were two men.
14:25One with a beard.
14:26I couldn't see the other.
14:26Oh, no, darling.
14:27You've got things all mixed up.
14:28I'm the one who finds bearded villains, not you.
14:30Oh, Penny, you believe me, don't you?
14:32Oh, that is...
14:36We stay in the house and try to keep out of mischief.
14:38And now you come along.
14:39I know you've got him hidden in the car.
14:44Hugh.
14:45Well, where is he?
14:46I told you, I stopped at Greystone to pick him up.
14:48And the man with a beard said he was the new tenant.
14:50Now, Colonel Nielsen wouldn't let Greystone to anyone.
14:52He said the colonel had come on here.
14:54But I went back and watched.
14:55Good work, darling.
14:56They brought Colonel Nielsen out unconscious.
14:58And took him away in his own car.
14:59Away?
15:00Where?
15:00I don't know.
15:01I tried to phone you.
15:03I cut the wires.
15:04Tenet!
15:05Coming, sir.
15:06As usual, coming, sir.
15:08Your head, sir.
15:10What's that?
15:11Mr. Longworth removed our firearms, sir.
15:13So I took the precaution of hiding these.
15:17Tenet, you said there were no guns in the house.
15:19Pardon me, sir.
15:20These are not guns.
15:22These are pistols.
15:23You see, darling, we kept our word.
15:24Good work, Tenet.
15:25I rather like it, though.
15:27Hurry, Hugh.
15:27Hurry!
15:32I said, Hugh, Phyllis.
15:33I've got your plans.
15:34I mean, where are you going?
15:36Greystone Manor.
15:37Greystone Manor?
15:50I don't know.
16:11You look in there, Tony.
16:12I'll look in there.
16:13You'll come with me.
16:17There's the colonel's briefcase.
16:25Hello, operator.
16:26This is Captain Drummond speaking from Colonel Nielsen's residence.
16:29Will you get me Scotland Yard immediately?
16:30Yes.
16:31Yes, you can call me here.
16:35You, look.
16:42Tony!
16:43Coming, sir.
16:51Easy now.
16:53Captain Drummond.
16:55Philip's old man.
16:56Who did this?
16:57It was...
16:59Richard.
17:00Yes?
17:04This may help, sir.
17:10Yes.
17:11Drummond speaking.
17:11The Yard?
17:12Yes.
17:12Get me Inspector Blair, quickly.
17:14Who was it, Philips?
17:15Can't you tell me?
17:17It was Richard Lane.
17:19Richard Lane?
17:21Now I know why his face was so familiar.
17:23I remember his picture in the papers, without a beard.
17:26Well, Nielsen's been after him for years.
17:27Hello, Blair.
17:28This is Drummond.
17:29I'm at Nielsen's.
17:30He's been kidnapped.
17:31I said kidnapped.
17:33Yes, by Richard Lane.
17:35I don't care if Lane hasn't been in England for years.
17:37He was here half an hour ago.
17:38Captain Drummond.
17:40Hold on a minute.
17:41Yes, Philips?
17:42Got an aeroplane.
17:44Near Hampton Heath.
17:46Yes?
17:47They're taking him to...
17:50Where, Philips?
17:50Where?
17:52To Africa.
17:54Somewhere near Arby.
17:57Morocco.
17:58Hello, Blair.
17:59The butler says Lane has a plane on Hampton Heath.
18:02Yes, they're taking Nielsen to Morocco.
18:04Somewhere near Arby.
18:05Yes, Morocco.
18:07All right, you send some men to the Heath.
18:08If I get there in time, I'll try to stop him.
18:10Right.
18:16Isn't there something we can do?
18:17We can get the man who killed him.
18:20Come on, dummy.
18:42Now, where are you going?
18:44Hampton Heath, sir.
18:46Hampton Heath?
18:47I wish you make up your minds where you are going to get married.
19:04You think he'll be all right?
19:06Yes, of course he'll be all right.
19:09Hey, look.
19:15There's a plane.
19:38Well, it wasn't a bad idea, Tenny.
19:40It wasn't a good one, sir.
19:43You!
19:46You're crazy.
19:47I mean, are you crazy?
19:48Are those my pants, Alzie?
19:49Yes.
19:49Bitter.
19:50Never mind.
19:50Later.
19:51Oh, but listen.
19:51Never mind, Alzie.
19:53Here you are, Tenny.
19:54Excuse me, darling.
19:55But you, I'm in a dinner.
19:56Have you gone slightly barmy?
19:58I'm mad, if that's what you mean.
19:59Mad?
20:00Oh, you mean angry, annoyed, irritated as well.
20:03What about?
20:03Plane, Alzie.
20:04Colonel Nielsen's in it.
20:05What's he doing up there?
20:06Kidnapped, Alzie.
20:07Kidnapped.
20:08Nielsen?
20:09I say, oh, but you're sure you're quite all right.
20:10I mean the wedding, the excitement and all that sort of thing.
20:12Of course I'm all right, Alzie.
20:14I'm going to fill us with this.
20:14She started it.
20:15To fill us?
20:16I saw the men put Colonel Nielsen in his car.
20:18What for?
20:19We're going to follow and find out.
20:21Who's that?
20:24Police.
20:25Don't say anything about trying to follow Nielsen.
20:26They might try to stop us.
20:31Captain Drummond.
20:32Hello, Sergeant.
20:32The yard calls on the Waza.
20:34Yes, it's too bad you didn't get here five minutes earlier.
20:36There's your man up there.
20:37There's the car they used to abduct Colonel Nielsen.
20:39You better take a look at it.
20:40Right, Sergeant.
20:46Now's our chance to get away, Alzie.
20:48Tenney?
20:48Tenney, sir.
20:49Professor Hugh, where are we going?
20:52Possibly Africa.
20:54Africa?
21:12Tenney, get those doors open.
21:13Very good, sir.
21:17Alzie, you better check that reserve tank in case we need it.
21:19Right post.
21:23Captain Drummond.
21:25Just a moment, sir.
21:26Sir.
21:27Well, Sergeant.
21:28I see we're just in time, sir.
21:30Time for what?
21:31To carry out orders, sir.
21:33Orders, Sergeant?
21:34Aye, sir.
21:34To see if you do not leave England tonight.
21:36You mean to tell me I can't take my plane for a flight if I want to?
21:39Orders, sir.
21:39The yard wants no interference in handling a certain case.
21:43Oh, well, we're just going for a pleasure flight.
21:45A few friends, you know.
21:47Up in the clouds.
21:48You know, good for asthma and all that sort of thing.
21:51Yes, you see.
21:52I'm sorry, sir.
21:54Orders is ordered.
21:56Jenkins, you remain here until we leave.
21:58Very good, Sergeant.
21:59This plane is not to be taken out.
22:02Understanding?
22:03This plane is not to be taken out.
22:10Excuse me.
22:19I see it's you.
22:20Later, Algie.
22:21Later.
22:22Algie, open the parachute box.
22:24But the chutes are in the...
22:25In the box where they belong.
22:27In the box?
22:28Yes, Algie.
22:29In the box.
22:30Locked in the box.
22:32Oh.
22:33That's right.
22:34Locked in the box.
22:34Yes.
22:35I see if they're still there.
22:38Goodbye, darling.
22:39You.
22:40Don't try anything.
22:41He's the Lord.
22:41I've got to, darling.
22:42It's our only chance.
22:43If you're that crazy, I'll be crazy too.
22:45I'm going with you.
22:46You're staying here.
22:47I'm not.
22:48This was supposed to be our wedding night.
22:50In case you've forgotten.
22:51I know, darling.
22:51I'm sorry.
22:52But I love you and I want to marry you and I'm going to marry you.
22:54But not tonight.
22:55Now, will you please get in the car and run along?
22:58Oh, all right.
22:59I suppose I'll have to.
23:02Goodbye.
23:03Be careful.
23:05Good girl.
23:06Come on.
23:11Smoke, constable?
23:12Not when I'm on duty, sir.
23:14Oh, I beg your pardon.
23:15I only meant to show there were no hard feelings.
23:17Oh, I understand, sir.
23:18Thank you, sir.
23:19You wouldn't mind if we inspect our parachutes as long as we're here.
23:22Well, I suppose it'll be all right, sir.
23:24If you have any doubts, you can come and watch us.
23:26Oh, that's all right, sir.
23:28It's not that I don't trust you, but...
23:29The orders is orders.
23:30That's right, sir.
23:31The orders is orders.
23:38What's the matter, Algie?
23:39Oh, there's something stuck down there.
23:41I simply can't get them out.
23:42I'm ashamed of you, Algie.
23:43A big, strong fellow like you.
23:49I guess you're right, Algie.
23:50You do seem to be stuck.
23:51Lend me your hand.
23:56I suppose we'll have to give it up.
23:58Oh, don't say give up, gentlemen.
24:00Let me give you a hand.
24:01Oh, no, no, don't bother, constable.
24:02You might strain yourself.
24:03Oh, nonsense.
24:03They used to call me Little Goliath.
24:05No.
24:06Don't touch me.
24:08Here.
24:09Here you are.
24:10I saw you going to do that.
24:11Here.
24:11What are you doing?
24:14Little Goliath.
24:15Beautiful, Algie.
24:17Tenny.
24:18Renny, sir.
24:19What's the hand here?
24:20Open out of here.
24:38Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
24:39And this, Algie, was to have been my wedding night.
24:41Why, Joe, of you, that reminds me.
24:43Of what?
24:44This was to have been your wedding night.
24:45That's what I said.
24:47That's when I heard it.
24:49There are times, Algie, when silence is...
24:51Golden?
24:52Yes, when silence is golden.
24:54That's what Penny said.
24:56Oh, I see.
24:56And you mean that this is one of those times, huh?
24:59Empathically.
25:00I hated running out on Phyllis like that, but we couldn't bring her with us.
25:04Of course not.
25:04Danger and all that sort of thing, you know.
25:06Pardon me, sir.
25:07Your guns, sir?
25:08Oh, yes, certainly. Why?
25:10Jolly business, what?
25:12It depends upon the point of view, sir.
25:21I see, Hugh.
25:22Yes, Algie?
25:23Can we depend on that thing?
25:24Yes, Algie.
25:27Algie, it's about 1,200 miles.
25:32We should reach the African coast by dawn, parting accidents.
25:36Accidents?
25:37Hugh, you haven't had a crash yet, have you?
25:39It can always be a first time, Algie.
25:41Of course, it can always be a first time.
25:42What?
25:43Don't worry, old boy. I think we'll get through all right.
25:45I hope.
25:47Darling!
25:48Phyllis!
25:49I know I shouldn't, but here I am, and here we are.
25:53This is a surprise.
25:55Here, sit down.
25:57Well, darling, now you're in the soup with the rest of us.
25:59Nice soup.
26:01I've often wondered about it, and now I know.
26:03What?
26:03Why I love you.
26:05Do you think we could be married in Morocco?
26:07Or would they make us use a Mohammedan priest?
26:09Well, then we'd be Mohammedans, and I could have a harem.
26:11That would be loving.
26:13But don't try it.
26:33Well, here we go.
26:34Better fasten your belts.
26:58Good night, sir.
27:00Good night, sir.
27:00Good night.
27:02Good night.
27:03Good night.
27:03Buenas tardes, señorita.
27:05Welcome to Succalarvi.
27:07Have you a landing permit?
27:09Huh?
27:10Landing permit, old boy.
27:11Oh, landing permit.
27:12Si, señor.
27:13Well, you see, we left England rather hurriedly and...
27:15Oh, you must have a landing permit, señor.
27:17Yes, we will arrange for it at the British consulate.
27:19Oh, the capitani is attached to the consulate?
27:21Well, not exactly, but I'm sure that they'll see that everything is in order.
27:24The consulate will not open its doors for several hours, señor.
27:27In that case, we'll take a look around the town, what?
27:29Yes.
27:29Oh, that will not be possible, señor, until later.
27:32Oh, I see.
27:32Not until later.
27:34Si, señor.
27:36Shall we, Algie?
27:39I don't think so.
27:41Ah, we're losing our grip, Algie.
27:44Arby has a hotel, Nadal.
27:45Hotel?
27:46Si, señor.
27:47The Hotel de Maroc.
27:48We'll escort you there.
27:49Yes, I thought perhaps you would.
27:51After you.
27:52Oh, after you, señor.
27:54After you.
27:56Welcome to Arby, darling.
28:09Romantic, isn't it?
28:10If the heat of an African sun can be classed as romantic, sir.
28:16Right you are.
28:17Right you are.
28:18Right you are.
28:27Good luck.
28:37Yes.
28:38Mr. Baker can see you, sir.
28:40Let him come in.
28:40Yes, major.
28:43Ah, good morning, Charles.
28:46Major.
28:46Sit down.
28:47Sit down.
28:48You're quite a stranger.
28:50Yes, I rarely leave my place, you know.
28:52Pretty much of a hermit.
28:53Don't you find life a bit dull in that country place of yours?
28:56As a matter of fact, major, that's why I'm here.
28:58I've decided to have a little fling.
29:00London, Paris.
29:02Paris.
29:03Yes, it's been over a year since I was away.
29:05I'll enjoy it, I think.
29:07I wish I could go with you.
29:09I wish you could, major.
29:10And oh, yes, by the way, of course, I'll need a visa for my passport.
29:14Oh, that's easy.
29:15Just see McAllister across the hall.
29:17Fine, thank you.
29:18Well, goodbye, major.
29:20Goodbye, sir.
29:20And I wish you a pleasant journey.
29:27Yes?
29:28Captain Drummond is here to see you, sir.
29:30I'll send him in.
29:31Yes, sir.
29:32That door, captain.
29:33Would you mind waiting here?
29:36Certainly not, senor.
29:43Captain Drummond?
29:44I'm glad to know you, major Gray.
29:45Sit down.
29:47Drummond?
29:48You stand in danger of arrest by the local authorities
29:50for landing here without a permit.
29:52Yes, it's about arraigning for a permit that I'm here.
29:54Consulate regulations state
29:56that all subjects of the Empire
29:58shall receive any assistance of which they may stand indeed.
30:00The Scotland Yard has cabled me
30:02to assist you according to the regulations.
30:05That's very decent of them.
30:06Furthermore, the Yard has ordered me
30:08to assist you back to England in double-quick time.
30:11But, major, you don't understand.
30:12I understand perfectly.
30:13I've ordered your plane service.
30:15And the moment it's ready, off you go.
30:16You're lucky we're not leaving you in a Moroccan jail
30:18for a few weeks.
30:19But, major, if you...
30:19Just a moment, please.
30:21Yes, major?
30:22Did the guard accompany Captain Drummond?
30:24Yes, major.
30:25Ask him to step into the hall.
30:26Very good, sir.
30:27Major, when I left England...
30:28I know all about you, Drummond.
30:30You left England in defiance of an official order
30:32after resisting an officer of the Crown.
30:34And that constable didn't know I was coming to Arby.
30:36The Scotland Yard did.
30:38Captain Drummond is returning to England.
30:39He's not to leave his hotel without authority from me
30:41and under escort.
30:43Si, senor.
30:43Si, yeah, major.
30:44I tell you Colonel Nielsen was kidnapped.
30:46Rubbish, Drummond.
30:47The Yard warned me you'd say something like that.
30:49Cable him again.
30:50Ask him if he's in his office.
30:52Well, major, I'm off.
30:53Well, goodbye, sir, and good luck.
30:55Just a moment.
30:56You're Richard Lane.
30:57You're mistaken, Drummond.
30:58Mistaken my eye.
30:59Major, this man is Richard Lane.
31:00He's murdered Nielsen's butler and kidnapped Nielsen.
31:02This is the man I followed in my plane.
31:03That's enough, Drummond.
31:04But, major, I...
31:05This gentleman is Mr. Charles Magus.
31:07To my knowledge, he hasn't been out of Arby for a year.
31:10My apologies, sir.
31:10I hope you'll overlook this.
31:12Perfectly all right, major.
31:14Good day, sir.
31:16Major, that man was in England last night.
31:19Captain Drummond, you'll be notified when your plane is serviced.
31:22Good morning.
31:23Yes, good morning.
31:25After you, senor.
31:40Do you think the plane knows wrong to him, sir?
31:42I'm certain he doesn't.
31:44Is MacTurk back yet?
31:45No, not yet, sir.
31:50Well, what do you want?
31:52I'm afraid these will have to be burned.
31:56MacTurk!
31:57That's a perfect disguise.
31:58Too perfect, major.
32:00Well, what did you find out?
32:01They've got Nielsen, all right.
32:03I wasn't a hundred yards away when that plane came down.
32:06Lane's place, of course.
32:07Right.
32:08I flashed Nielsen a heliograph message and scouted around the house about a quarter of a mile away.
32:14Then I waited for three or four hours, and just as I was about to give up, I caught a
32:18flash of light.
32:19Heliograph signal from one of the upper windows.
32:21What did his message say?
32:24Safe so far.
32:25Lane expecting three of his agents.
32:28Delay raid until tonight.
32:30I don't like it.
32:31These are his orders.
32:33He's gambling his life, and I won't risk it.
32:35Fourteen, you made arrangements with the local police for the raid, as I told you.
32:39No, major.
32:41Well, why haven't you?
32:42Because there will be no raid.
32:44What's the meaning of this?
32:45Will you gentlemen please raise your hands?
32:47Sir.
32:48I wouldn't try that if I were you.
32:50There's a car in the rear, major.
33:13Well, you, uh, found your quarters comfortable, Guido?
33:17Quite.
33:18The confinement is becoming a little monotonous.
33:21Yes, yes, I understand perfectly.
33:24If you come with me, perhaps I can relieve that monotony.
33:34Are you, uh, wondering about your chances of escape?
33:36Naturally.
33:37Of course, you're too smart.
33:38At least I hope you are to attempt it.
33:39Oh, thank you.
33:41After you, Colonel.
33:42As you say.
33:53A little kingdom of my own, Colonel.
33:55You know, far from the maddening crowd.
33:58Hello, Boo-Boo.
33:59Mimi.
34:00How's Mabel over there?
34:02Is that Mabel?
34:02Yes.
34:17My pets, Colonel.
34:19Your pets?
34:20Yes.
34:21Yes, I find them extremely useful.
34:23Yes, I imagine they do discourage visitors.
34:25Oh, no, no.
34:26On the contrary, they welcome visitors.
34:28You follow me.
34:31Yes, I'll follow you.
34:32I thought you would.
34:33Now, this fellow over here, he's a favorite.
34:35But, uh, we mustn't go too close.
34:38Oh, don't worry.
34:39I won't.
34:52Gentlemen, I have a surprise for you.
34:56Allow me to present our old opponent, Colonel Nielsen.
34:58How do you go?
34:59Colonel Venenda Ackley.
35:01John.
35:03Deladen.
35:04Ackley's is the agent who obtained from your government the plans for the Sudan.
35:08Which were changed immediately, rendering them valueless.
35:12Yes, but not before we sold them.
35:13Had a very nice figure.
35:15Really?
35:16Very clever, I know, Sean.
35:18And this is Dr. Sturm.
35:19Doctor?
35:21How do you do?
35:24Baronevsky?
35:27Oh, uh, have all arrangements been made for Captain Drummond's departure?
35:30Yes, sir, all arrangements.
35:31Drummond's plane will explode in midair.
35:34That means that, uh, Captain Drummond and his party will vanish at about a hundred miles
35:38at sea.
35:40Have you nothing to say, Colonel?
35:42You underestimate Captain Drummond's ability.
35:46You know, Nielsen, I rather admire you.
35:49I think under different circumstances we could get along well together.
35:52The circumstances would, as you say, have to be different.
35:57Oh, yes, yes, of course, different.
36:00Colonel.
36:05To a very courageous opponent.
36:08Courageous even in defeat.
36:11And may I, in the depth of my defeat, offer a toast?
36:15Why, surely.
36:16To men who have lost all sense of honor.
36:21To men who have disgraced the countries that gave them birth.
36:25To you, gentlemen.
36:33After dinner, we will discuss Colonel Nielsen's toast.
36:38In detail.
36:40Have a chair, Colonel.
36:41Thank you so much.
36:48I'd hate to be in this plane when this thing goes off.
36:50What time am I setting it for?
36:52Fordin said at nine o'clock.
37:09Oh, I say, Hugh, those dancing fellas are doing some pretty nifty tailspin.
37:14Alfie, now is not the time to become analytical about the terpsichorean peculiarities of some
37:18derling wervishes.
37:19Derling wervishes?
37:20Yes, whirling dervishes.
37:21Here, lend a hand with those sheets.
37:22Oh, yes.
37:23Be sure to tie the knots double because we can't use broken legs.
37:26But, Hugh, how are we going to find Lane's place after which?
37:29Well, that is, if we do get up, I think.
37:30Then we'll worry about that when we get out.
37:32Yes, but then...
37:32If Lane has a place, Alfie will find it.
37:34And Colonel Nielsen, too.
37:35Right.
37:38That's Phyllis, I hope.
37:49Did you hear?
37:50Yes.
37:50They are up to something.
37:53Caporal, you are the most suspicious one.
37:57Good work, darling.
37:58I rather like it, sir.
37:59I still don't think it's long enough to reach the ground.
38:01I'll see if we can work our way along that ledge.
38:03It'll reach from the balcony.
38:04Yeah.
38:06And only 50 feet to a nice stone courtyard below.
38:09Now, if you want to know what I'm in favor of doing...
38:11What, Kelsey?
38:12I'm in favor of trying it.
38:14Yes, that's what I thought.
38:16Now, darling, promise me something.
38:17Yes, sir.
38:17Promise me that you'll stay here.
38:19But...
38:19And not try to follow us.
38:20But...
38:20But we know buts, darling.
38:21You stay here or else.
38:22Or else what?
38:23Or else I'll thrash you.
38:24Yes, Captain Drummond.
38:25But don't try it.
38:28Goodbye, darling.
38:29Can we go?
38:36You next, Algie.
38:36And then Penny.
38:37Be careful, Hugh.
38:39Shh.
38:40Come back here.
38:41There's someone at the door.
38:42Delighting.
38:42Tell them I'm in the bath or something.
38:52Why do you take so long, senor?
38:54I was attending Captain Drummond.
38:57And the captain is...
38:58In his bath.
38:59Ah, then we will wait.
39:01Si, senorita, senor, senor Fordy of the British Conk.
39:06How do you do?
39:08Good evening.
39:09If you don't mind, I'll wait for the captain.
39:11Yes, of course.
39:13We were just listening to the music.
39:15Yes, and jolly good music, too.
39:17Yes, sounds just like...
39:18Just like music.
39:21And the music.
39:22It should come in much better if I open the window.
39:24Ah, no.
39:26Well, get me down.
39:27Yes, yes.
39:28Have a drink.
39:30You too, Cosmo boy.
39:31Have a good drink.
39:31I'm just going to pour one.
39:34We saw Captain Drummond go into that room, did we not?
39:37Si, here we have the others.
39:38Did we see him come out?
39:39No.
39:40Yes.
39:40The gentleman said he was in his bath.
39:42That is so.
39:43It cannot be so.
39:45Why?
39:46There is one bedroom on each floor.
39:48And the bedroom, it is not in there.
39:50It is down there.
39:52Then, if he's not there, he must be there.
39:55And yet, they say he is not.
39:58Then, is he or is he not in his room?
40:02Something very, very strange.
40:04So?
40:04Well, we shall see.
40:15Pardon, señorita.
40:16Señores.
40:17Where is Captain Drummond?
40:18I've already told you Captain Drummond is in his bath.
40:21Bath?
40:22It is not all right if my guests desire the bath.
40:26There is no bath, señor.
40:27There is no bath.
40:29Not in here.
40:30Over there.
40:31Search that room.
40:32Seek a bath.
40:34Here.
40:35Here.
40:36Stand aside.
40:41Ha!
40:43So.
40:57And what, señor, is this for?
41:00Climbing out.
41:02Well, darling.
41:03Good evening, Captain Drummond.
41:05I can't agree with you, but we won't argue the point.
41:07I have major Gray's instructions.
41:08Yes, I know.
41:09Mr. Fordeen, Miss Clavering.
41:11This gentleman has come to escort us to our plane and out of Morocco.
41:14I'm sorry, sir.
41:15Well, here we go.
41:16But, Hugh, we can't leave without Colonel Nielsen.
41:18Oh, you need have no fears about Colonel Nielsen who's clevering.
41:20I suppose he's safe at his office in London?
41:23Yes, we received a cable grant from Scotland Yard assuring us that Colonel Nielsen did spend the day in his
41:28office.
41:28As usual.
41:29As usual.
41:30But he couldn't.
41:31I saw those men carry him out of the house.
41:33Yes, I know, darling, but this gentleman says he spent the day in his office as usual.
41:36But, Hugh.
41:36We have no choice, darling.
41:38And my ship is in order?
41:39Oh, perfect order, Captain.
41:41Get your coat, darling.
41:48Captain Drummond, you will fly directly to England.
41:51Well, there seems to be no point in doing anything else if Colonel Nielsen is there.
41:54Well, then, goodbye.
41:55Goodbye.
41:56Goodbye, senores.
41:58Come along, Alty.
42:00Goodbye.
42:01Oh, goodbye, old boy.
42:02I hope I don't see you again.
42:03That is, unless we happen to meet.
42:06Adieu, senor.
42:29Nice people.
42:31Too bad they could not get the landing permit.
42:33Ah, they'll forget about it in an hour or so.
42:54You don't believe Nielsen's in England?
42:56Of course I don't.
42:57Then why have we been flying out to sea for the past half hour?
43:00Monkey business, Alty.
43:01Monkey business?
43:02In case our Mr. Fordeen decided to follow us.
43:04No, we're turning back.
43:05Turning back?
43:06Right now.
43:07If we're caught, engine trouble.
43:09They wouldn't ask us to come down at sea in a land plane, would they?
43:11Well, let's not ask them, huh?
43:23If we're returning, sir, might I suggest that we land somewhere near Mr. Richard Lane's place?
43:28That's easier said than done, Tenny.
43:29We don't know where it is.
43:30Oh, but we do, sir.
43:31I need inquiries among the hotel staff as to the residents of Mr. Charles Meagher, Mr. Richard Lane, to us,
43:38sir.
43:39Good work, Tenny.
43:40I rather thought you might like it, sir.
43:42I've indicated it on this travel folder.
43:45X marks the spot, eh?
43:46Yes, sir.
43:53The place is just there, sir.
43:55The land to the west is fairly level.
43:58Good.
43:59Here go the flares.
44:09If anyone's watching, those flares will be a dead giveaway.
44:12Take that chance, darling.
44:14The moment we land, everybody get out and run.
44:15We'll soon know if they've spotted us.
44:56We'll soon know if they've spotted us.
45:00We were supposed to be well out at sea when that happened.
45:02Instead of which, we're less than a mile from Lane's house.
45:05That's as close as you're going to get, my love.
45:06Tenny, you stay here with Miss Phillips.
45:08May you go, sir.
45:08You.
45:08Right here.
45:09But.
45:10No arguments now.
45:11Yes, sir.
45:11That's better.
45:12Take my gun.
45:13Our guns, if you will remember, my love, were confiscated by the police.
45:16Not all of them, yes, sir.
45:18If you wouldn't mind just turning your head for a second.
45:26I carried this just in peace.
45:28Good work, Tenny.
45:29Brilliant idea.
45:30I'd rather like it, darling.
45:31Goodbye, darling.
45:33Somehow or other.
45:33We're always saying goodbye.
45:35Let's hope this will be the last time.
45:36Let's hope it won't.
45:39Take good care of it, Tenny.
45:40With my life, sir.
45:41Right outside, darling.
45:42Come along, Elsie.
45:43Be careful, Hugh.
46:09Sit down.
46:12Transmit this in code for our London agents.
46:16Well, you enjoyed your dinner?
46:19The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
46:23Let Colonel Lielsen gentlemen serve as a model.
46:25A sense of humor in the face of death.
46:28Now I suppose you're ready to tell us about the radio wave disintegrator?
46:32Well, if I have to die, I don't see that I'd gain much by it.
46:36That's right.
46:37Doubly right to make it more emphatic.
46:39Are you suggesting a bargain?
46:41For my life?
46:43Most decidedly.
46:45Well, now, of course, if I were to turn you loose,
46:48that would mean that I have to establish new headquarters.
46:50Very difficult thing to do.
46:53I have something you want.
46:56Now, you can sell this disintegrator idea for millions.
46:59Enough to buy a dozen places like this.
47:01Yes, that's true.
47:02But what assurance have I that you're telling the truth?
47:06Oh, what assurance have I that you'd turn me loose if I did?
47:09Well, that's a chance you'll have to take.
47:12Is that final?
47:15That's final.
47:16You may proceed.
47:23The radio wave disintegrator is a means by which the signals,
47:29either voice or dot and dash code,
47:33are reversed in transmission.
47:34The low frequencies becoming high frequencies,
47:37and vice versa.
47:39There's nothing new to that, Colonel.
47:42On the contrary.
47:44A single word,
47:45transmitted in normal code,
47:48informs the receiving station
47:49of the carrier wave combination being used
47:52in this special transmission.
47:55How does it sound, Doctor?
48:00I'll ask a few questions, please.
48:02And let's hope, Colonel,
48:03that you have the correct answers.
48:05He promised not to follow them, miss.
48:07Well, I just can't stay here doing nothing.
48:09Of course, miss.
48:10If you decided to have a little scout around,
48:14I'd have to follow you, wouldn't I?
48:16An excellent idea, Teddy.
48:17Come on.
48:29That's right, Pia.
48:39And you cannot explain the means
48:40by which the transposed signals
48:42are separate from the fluctuating carrier wave?
48:46Unfortunately, no.
48:48Doctor, what do you think?
48:52The gentleman that's lying.
48:54Yes, I was afraid so.
48:55Yeah, wait.
48:57We'll have a chance, Algie.
48:58Wait.
48:59You put very little value on your life, Colonel.
49:01It was worth a try.
49:03I'm wondering if you'd tell the truth
49:04to save three lives.
49:06I have only one.
49:09I'm referring to your friend Major Gray
49:11and his assistant, McTurk.
49:13What do you know about Gray and McTurk?
49:15I have them upstairs.
49:17Their lives depend on you.
49:20Now, I'll drive the bargain.
49:23Furnish us with the information
49:24Dr. Sturm says you're withholding,
49:25and I guarantee that you and your friends
49:27will be released within a week.
49:30By whom, may I ask?
49:31The local police.
49:33They'd be informed.
49:36May I think it over?
49:38You may.
49:38You have exactly five minutes.
49:43Five minutes.
50:06Hugh, Hugh, I don't think you're going to go that way.
50:09Quiet, Algie.
50:10The man's chained.
50:12Come on.
50:37I say Hugh, he's not at all bad-looking when he's asleep, is he?
50:40Be quiet, Algie.
50:41Let me in.
50:42Yes, let me in.
50:42Yes, let me in.
50:54They go to hold him, huh?
50:55I think so, Algie.
50:57We can use this.
51:24You, Hugh, I...
51:37Close the door, Algie.
51:40Major.
51:41Major Gray.
51:42Major Gray.
51:43Still disobeying all those troubles.
51:46Carry on.
51:48This chap's in pretty bad shape.
51:49See if there's some water around here, Algie.
52:03Your pets seem a little restless tonight.
52:07Yes.
52:09And hungry.
52:16Well, Colonel, have you decided?
52:20Not yet.
52:21In that case, perhaps we can assist you.
52:23This way, please.
52:46Thanks.
52:58All right, Colonel, stand back.
53:18Iron will bend, Colonel.
53:23You can still save yourself by telling the truth.
53:27All right.
53:29Come on.
53:29Come on.
53:35Up, up.
53:48Up the back stairs.
53:49Get up!
53:50Get up!
53:52Get up!
53:54Get up!
53:55Get up!
54:02Go ahead.
54:13Get up!
54:26I'm going to let my guests ride.
54:31I'm going through there.
54:32Sneak up a little.
54:33Right on, old boy.
54:56Come on, let's get out of here.
55:01Come on out, Garland.
55:33Come on, Garland.
55:44Let's go.
56:29Get out of here.
56:58Captain Drummond!
57:00Captain Drummond!
57:02Captain Drummond!
57:12Fine fellow, Drummond.
57:15I rather like him, sir.
57:33Well, let's go!
57:46Here you go.
57:47I'm gonna be right back.
57:52I'll be right back.
