00:00:00The End
00:00:39The End
00:00:56We are now coming, ladies and gentlemen, to another of the interesting landmarks for the city of London.
00:01:02And these imposing stone buildings are New Scotland Yard, where day and night the guardians of London's law and order
00:01:11keep their sleepless vigils.
00:01:33I thought you might be interested in this, Colonel Newton.
00:01:35Huh?
00:01:38Hugh C. Drummond, former captain in His Majesty's Royal Air Force, will marry Miss Phyllis Clavering, niece of Mrs. Blanche
00:01:46Clavering, in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday next.
00:01:51Greer, that young man has caused me more headaches than any man alive. It's a pity, too.
00:01:57He means so well.
00:01:59You're probably glad he's in Switzerland.
00:02:02He'd only stay there. He'll try and do my work for me.
00:02:05By the way, I want to send a wedding present to Captain Drummond.
00:02:10A book?
00:02:11A book, sir.
00:02:12And on second thought, I think I'll make it two books.
00:02:15Yes.
00:02:15One for Drummond and one for Miss Clavering.
00:02:18What address, sir?
00:02:30Harry, don't you think my your being's improving?
00:02:32I really couldn't say so.
00:02:33Maybe he's right, Phyllis.
00:02:35What's this, more loot?
00:02:36Still coming in, sir?
00:02:37Darling, we must get married again and again and again.
00:02:39And again and again.
00:02:40And you'll see.
00:02:42Well, now it's all right, here, detective.
00:02:43Ur is the brat.
00:02:44This is the brat.
00:02:45No, you're done.
00:02:46You're in the north.
00:02:47Yeah.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49Now, who sent that?
00:02:51To Bulldog Drummond with felicitations of the drones club.
00:02:56Now, what do you say it is, Tenny?
00:02:58Eros, the Greek god of love's hope.
00:02:59Why, Tenny?
00:03:01Research work, Mr. Crossword puzzles.
00:03:04Have you any suggestions, Tenny?
00:03:05Oh, I think it deserves to meet with an accident, sir.
00:03:08A colossal idea.
00:03:09I'd rather like it, sir.
00:03:11Well, there's something else from Colonel Nielsen.
00:03:14How to grow tobacco in Rhodesia and like it.
00:03:16It's a funny book to give us.
00:03:17I beg your pardon, sir.
00:03:18That's meant for you individually.
00:03:20Colonel Nielsen sent the other one for Miss Clavering.
00:03:24Travels with a donkey.
00:03:26To be read on the honeymoon.
00:03:30Very funny, sir.
00:03:32We want you to dinner time, Tenny.
00:03:33Who will look after the wedding person, sir?
00:03:35The hair detective will watch them.
00:03:37And who will watch the detectives, sir?
00:03:39Come on, darling.
00:03:41Oh, Tenny, have you seen my Aunt Blanche?
00:03:43She's outside with Sir Raymond Blentrey.
00:03:50Got it.
00:03:52Oh, that's fine.
00:03:53Now, now it's your turn.
00:03:57There.
00:04:05Oh, my nephew-niece.
00:04:08That is, my niece and my nephew to me.
00:04:10He isn't really my nephew yet, you understand.
00:04:13Children, I want you to meet one of my oldest and dearest friends.
00:04:16He's the head of a huge diamond syndicate.
00:04:19Sir Raymond...
00:04:22Sir Raymond...
00:04:23Sir Raymond Blentrey.
00:04:26Sir Raymond Blentrey, this is Bulldog Clavering.
00:04:30Miss Blentrey, this is...
00:04:36Packages for Captain Drummond.
00:04:37Here.
00:04:38More loot, darling.
00:04:49Oh, this must be valuable.
00:04:51Look at all the insurance stamps.
00:04:55That's from Gwen and Elsie.
00:04:58Oh, lovely, isn't it?
00:04:59Where did that come from?
00:05:00From Gwen Longwood.
00:05:01What did she say, Hugh?
00:05:03Dear Hugh and Phyllis, look what Daddy just made in his laboratory.
00:05:07Oh, I thought it was real.
00:05:08Her father made this?
00:05:10You mustn't tell anybody who made it because it's a secret.
00:05:13Because it...
00:05:15This is my wedding gift.
00:05:16Silly old Elsie has something else, but he's bringing it in person because they won't let him ship it.
00:05:20Don't get married until we get there, Gwen.
00:05:22Now, what in the world do you suppose it could be?
00:05:25Lydia.
00:05:37You have a perfect right to be alone for a minute or two.
00:05:39Well, not if Aunt Blanche knows anything about it.
00:05:45You happy, darling?
00:05:47Of course I am.
00:05:48Why, of course?
00:05:49Well, because you're you, I suppose.
00:05:53And is that the only reason?
00:05:55Well, because we're together and you've given up all those crazy, reckless adventures just to settle down with me.
00:06:03Yes, dear, that's right.
00:06:04You promise, don't forget me.
00:06:06No, I won't forget.
00:06:07You may consider me settled down.
00:06:10And after the honeymoon, we'll buy a house in the country and have a big garden and...
00:06:14And the Drummond Hollyhocks will be famous in every flower show in England.
00:06:17You're not serious.
00:06:19I'm serious about you.
00:06:21You'd better be.
00:06:22I won't have my affections tampered with.
00:06:37Cook calls these the spice of loveless.
00:06:40Would you like one?
00:06:41What do you think, Kenny?
00:06:42Well, I hardly think it's necessary in your case, Miss.
00:06:46Dinner is about to be announced.
00:06:47Come on, I'm finished.
00:06:49Where have you been, Roberts?
00:06:50I've been trying to find you all the afternoon.
00:06:52Well, I only just got your message.
00:06:54I've just seen an artificial diamond that looked absolutely real to me.
00:06:58Where is it?
00:06:58In there, among the wedding presents.
00:07:00We must get hold of it at any cost and submit it to all possible tests.
00:07:04Well, I'll do my best.
00:07:05Sir Raymond.
00:07:07Oh, Sir Raymond.
00:07:08You're neglecting me shamefully.
00:07:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:11Excuse me.
00:07:11I've already disturbed you.
00:07:14Dinner.
00:07:15Oh, come, Sir Raymond.
00:07:18Come, children.
00:07:44There he is.
00:08:01Oh, the doorbells are our presents.
00:08:04I know.
00:08:04See what it is, Kenny.
00:08:08Here we are.
00:08:09Hello, hello, hello.
00:08:12Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:08:14Mr. and Mrs. Argin and Longworth.
00:08:18And Annabelle.
00:08:22There we are.
00:08:23Look at him.
00:08:24Isn't he terrific?
00:08:25No home is complete without one.
00:08:27Oh, that beautiful, crazy wedding present.
00:08:30Did you get the other packages, I said?
00:08:32Oh, yes, dear.
00:08:32It was so sweet of you.
00:08:34But don't we?
00:08:34Oh, come on.
00:08:35I can't wait to show you the rest of the presents.
00:08:37Here you are, Kenny.
00:08:38She'll call them the lute.
00:08:41They're all right here.
00:08:43We'll show you.
00:08:48Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:08:52Now, what are you doing?
00:08:53Oh, some of them are perfect.
00:08:55They're perfect.
00:08:56I'll put them in the package.
00:08:57Good, Judy.
00:09:02Oh!
00:09:08A well-deserved pizza.
00:09:10Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:12Now, to me, I'm beginning to like that bird.
00:09:13Oh, this is from Hugh's aunt.
00:09:15And Hugh?
00:09:18Hugh, it's gone.
00:09:19Huh?
00:09:20Oh, what's gone?
00:09:21Well, that diamond.
00:09:22That gorgeous glass diamond that Queen sent me.
00:09:24Good, Bill.
00:09:25Well, it wasn't glass, Phyllis.
00:09:28What?
00:09:28It wasn't, I tell you.
00:09:30Daddy made it in his laboratory.
00:09:32It's a real, honest-to-goodness diamond.
00:09:34Absolutely.
00:09:34On my word of honor, Professor Goodman can take a couple of shillings worth of foul-smelling
00:09:38chemicals, and out comes a diamond as big as a plum.
00:09:41It's unnatural, of course, but it's real.
00:09:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:56Activity's dead.
00:09:57Dead?
00:09:58Where's the police?
00:10:00Oh, Ned!
00:10:01Oh!
00:10:03Get a doctor, somebody!
00:10:04Call the police.
00:10:06The police!
00:10:07Oh!
00:10:07Oh, Sir Raymond, Sir Raymond!
00:10:09Where's Sir Raymond?
00:10:10Somebody get somebody!
00:10:10Yes, yes, darling.
00:10:11I'm getting the doctor.
00:10:13But I am telling you what happened.
00:10:14We came popping into the room.
00:10:16Everything was strictly top-holed.
00:10:17We're bingo.
00:10:18The jolly old birds tumble right on the poor fellow, yes.
00:10:21Be cold as a cucumber he was.
00:10:22Conk right on the visa.
00:10:23And what?
00:10:25Why don't I speak English?
00:10:26I said, listen, officer, this is no time for joking.
00:10:29We have a gory corpse lying on the floor in here.
00:10:31Get up and have that.
00:10:32Oh!
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:35Oh!
00:10:36I regret to inform you, madam, Sir Raymond has gone.
00:10:40Gone?
00:10:41Well, I never heard of such a thing.
00:10:42Well, perhaps he stepped out for a walk or something.
00:10:44In a way, he has, miss.
00:10:46What's that, honey?
00:10:46Sir Raymond and his secretary, Mr. Roberts, have left for London, sir.
00:10:50London?
00:10:51Quick, look up the trains.
00:10:52I know them, sir.
00:10:53What's the next through train?
00:10:54The next through train has just left, sir.
00:10:56Get my car ready.
00:10:57Very good, sir.
00:10:58Oh, no!
00:11:01It's all right.
00:11:01The police have left.
00:11:03The police?
00:11:03Oh, I can't believe Sir Raymond would rush away like that without even leaving an aunt for me.
00:11:09Oh!
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:12You, where are you going?
00:11:13Well, for Sir Raymond.
00:11:14He's got the diamond.
00:11:14Do you know who Sir Raymond is?
00:11:16Well, he's the head of the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate.
00:11:18Yes, I know.
00:11:19And if you think that a man of his wealth and position would stoop to stealing an imitation diamond...
00:11:24But it's the same as the real one.
00:11:26This artificial diamond may ruin an industry and send Sir Raymond and his stockholders to the poorhouse.
00:11:30You mean my diamond stocks might go down?
00:11:33Well, if they can make diamonds cheaply in a laboratory, they'll be as worthless as pebbles.
00:11:37And Sir Raymond knows that.
00:11:39Oh, what do you think he'll do?
00:11:41He's off to a good start with a murder.
00:11:43I'll be back soon, darling.
00:11:45Hugh!
00:11:46Oh!
00:11:47Hugh, you can't go now.
00:11:48Not almost on our wedding day.
00:11:49The police will do what has to be done.
00:11:51I'll be back very soon and Algie will take care of everything.
00:11:53Oh, of course, I'll attend to the police when they get here, but what do I do exactly?
00:11:58You understand, dear?
00:12:00Hugh Drummond, if you go now, you needn't come back again ever.
00:12:03I must go.
00:12:03All right, then, go.
00:12:05Play cops and robbers all your life.
00:12:07I never want to see you again.
00:12:08I hope you...
00:12:10There's Tenny.
00:12:11Goodbye, dear.
00:12:13Goodbye, everybody.
00:12:15Goodbye.
00:12:17Algie.
00:12:17Algie, run and catch him.
00:12:18See that he wears this and he keeps warm and dry and that nothing happens to him.
00:12:23I'm telling you, Mr. Longlock.
00:12:25You're sure you don't mind my pet?
00:12:26What good will it do me?
00:12:29Goodbye.
00:12:30Goodbye.
00:12:32Oh, what'll we do?
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36Oh.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:40Oh.
00:12:41Oh.
00:12:41Oh.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44Oh.
00:12:44Oh.
00:12:44Oh.
00:12:45Oh.
00:12:45Oh.
00:12:46Oh.
00:12:47Oh.
00:12:47Oh.
00:12:48Oh.
00:13:02We're a railway guide, Roberts.
00:13:04Yes.
00:13:09Well, what are you going to do?
00:13:11I'm merely taking an obvious precaution.
00:13:14Precaution?
00:13:15Oh, against customs.
00:13:17We'd better cable ahead of the next stuff.
00:13:20Arranged an emergency meeting of the syndicate at my house in London.
00:13:24Let me have the damn.
00:13:31Let's go.
00:13:35Let's go.
00:13:44Let's go.
00:13:51Let's go.
00:13:53Let's go.
00:13:53Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:54Let's go.
00:13:56Now, Tenny, you'd better stay here and look after the clock.
00:13:58Why, Drombo?
00:13:58Look after you, sir.
00:13:59Good idea, Tenny.
00:14:00I don't like it, sir.
00:14:01I'll watch it.
00:14:07Now to breeze in on Sir Raymond, huh?
00:14:09We'll break in on with the dawn, my friend.
00:14:11The hour when dead men walk and sick men die.
00:14:13Oh, please, sir.
00:14:14Besides, I've got to figure out how to get him away from his compartment
00:14:16so that you can search it, Alzi.
00:14:18Right-ho.
00:14:22Will you tell Mr. Drummond I wish to speak to him?
00:14:24Sir Raymond Blanford to see you, sir.
00:14:26Ah, ask him to come in.
00:14:28Will the police come in?
00:14:30No, I'd rather see him in the vestibule.
00:14:32He says he'd rather see you in the vestibule, sir.
00:14:34That's very kind of him.
00:14:36Now's your chance, Alzi.
00:14:42You wait here, Tenny.
00:14:43I'll take a look at Blanford's compartment.
00:14:48Ah, Sir Raymond?
00:14:49Yes, I saw you come aboard, Drummond.
00:14:51Is anything wrong?
00:14:52What do you think?
00:14:53I, uh, I don't understand.
00:14:55What made you change your plans about the wedding?
00:14:58Little matter of a theft of a diamond.
00:15:00Yes.
00:15:01And a murder.
00:15:02Murder?
00:15:13Drummond, you're wasting your time.
00:15:15Can't involve me.
00:15:16I know nothing whatever about the murder of that detective.
00:15:19And the theft of a diamond?
00:15:21Do you imagine anyone will find it in my possession?
00:15:24No.
00:15:24You wouldn't be so careless, would you?
00:15:26Take my advice, my young friend.
00:15:29Go back to Geneva.
00:15:30On the contrast, Sir Raymond, I shall accompany you to London.
00:15:33With a police escort, if it can be arranged.
00:15:44Robert.
00:15:45Well, what happened?
00:15:46You never told me that detective was killed.
00:15:49Killed?
00:15:50He must have had a skull as thin as paper.
00:15:52I've told you before, Robert.
00:15:54You told me to get the diamond at any cost.
00:15:57Alzi, what'd you find?
00:15:58Nothing.
00:15:59That's not as much.
00:16:00What are we going to do now?
00:16:01The cable, Colonel Issel, we got the man.
00:16:02Where?
00:16:07Cable ground from Captain Drummond, sir.
00:16:09Put it down.
00:16:10Who'd you say?
00:16:11Captain Drummond, sir.
00:16:12Oh.
00:16:13Thank you me for the presence, I suppose.
00:16:15Please ask French authorities to arrest Sir Raymond Blantrey, London Express, Hugh Drummond.
00:16:21That's his answer to my little joke with the books.
00:16:28I've never seen anything so transparent in my life.
00:16:34That's so funny, Greer.
00:16:36I'm sure I don't know, sir.
00:16:37You will, you will.
00:16:39And so will Captain Drummond.
00:16:40Arrest the Raymond Blantrey.
00:16:43Take a cable ground.
00:16:50Whoa.
00:16:51Larry!
00:16:52And it comes.
00:16:53What happened?
00:16:54We've stopped at the station, sir.
00:16:58Hello, Captain Drummond.
00:17:00Ah, good old Nielsen.
00:17:01That's probably his answer to my cable ground.
00:17:02Good old Nielsen.
00:17:03He never fails.
00:17:06Impossible grant your request.
00:17:07But we'll arrest Santa Claus and Snow White if you demand it.
00:17:11Nielsen.
00:17:13Well, that's that.
00:17:14Looks as though we'd have to give up, then.
00:17:16Is that your opinion, Tony?
00:17:17It's just occurred to me, sir.
00:17:18If we have another shot at finding red diamond and find it,
00:17:22the French police are bound to take notice of that, sir.
00:17:25But I searched with a fine tooth comb.
00:17:27Tony's right.
00:17:27We've got to have a showdown right now.
00:17:39I think they've gone.
00:17:40I can't have gone far.
00:17:41Quick, Tony, get the bags.
00:17:51Is there an airport around here?
00:17:52Yes, sir.
00:17:53Quite a small one.
00:17:54That's where they went, then.
00:17:55Tony, get a taxi.
00:17:56Yes, sir.
00:17:58Here, Alvin.
00:17:59Taxi!
00:18:00Taxi, Mr. Taxi.
00:18:02Watch you.
00:18:10We've got to get to London.
00:18:11Oh, monsieur, it's impossible.
00:18:12You keep playing for Charlie, don't you?
00:18:13We do, monsieur, but our last one was just hard.
00:18:16Two English gentlemen in a great hurry to get to London.
00:18:19I'll pay you 10,000 francs for the use of a fast three-seater.
00:18:22Have you a French license?
00:18:23Oh, no, but can't you think of a man who might do it?
00:18:25There is one.
00:18:27Over there.
00:18:28Raoul.
00:18:40Pauline Croydon, air taxi, F-X-O-Y-U.
00:18:44Pauline Croydon, I'm with him, your radio beam.
00:18:47Can you give me my position?
00:18:48Give me my position.
00:18:50Give me my radio bearing.
00:18:52Croydon Croydon, French air taxi, F-X-O-Y-U.
00:18:56Croydon, Croydon, French air taxi, F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:00Ceiling here, zero.
00:19:02Ceiling, absolutely zero.
00:19:04Turn back to Les Borgers.
00:19:06F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:11Ceiling or not, I'm coming down.
00:19:13Give me a radio bearing.
00:19:15Come on, Innes, I know you, and I've landed blind before.
00:19:18This is Drummond speaking.
00:19:19Will you give me that bearing?
00:19:21Who says I can't?
00:19:22You crazy man, turn on your lights.
00:19:23I'm coming down.
00:19:26Suggest you hold Blanchard until I arrive by plane.
00:19:29Hugh Drummond.
00:19:31Griez.
00:19:33They're Croydon Airport right away.
00:19:34This is Scotland Yard.
00:19:36Scotland Yard cutting in on Croydon Wavelength.
00:19:38Police calling air taxi, F-X-O-Y-U.
00:19:43This is an official order.
00:19:45An official order.
00:19:46Do not attempt to land.
00:19:48Landing permission refused.
00:19:49Return at once across channel.
00:19:52I am coming down.
00:19:57We'll land here.
00:20:20What is it?
00:20:22Professor Goodman is expecting me.
00:20:23I am Sir Raymond Blantry of the Metropolitan Diamonds Institute.
00:20:26Mr. Steiner made the appointment for you.
00:20:28Oh, yes, sir.
00:20:29But he didn't say there'd be anyone with you.
00:20:32Oh, Mr. Roberts is my associate.
00:20:33Oh, very good, sir.
00:20:36This is a matter of utmost delicacy.
00:20:40Very interesting.
00:20:47Oh, would you care to read by notes?
00:20:51You know, sometimes even I can't read my own writing.
00:20:54You know, Morgan mais Fмиze.
00:20:56Okay.
00:21:04Oh, yeah.
00:21:06Oh, God wrong on Saturday in the morning.
00:21:07Oh, my God.
00:21:10Oh, God wrong on Saturday in the morning?
00:21:13Okay.
00:21:16Oh, my God.
00:21:17Oh, my God.
00:21:20Oh, my God.
00:21:21Oh, my God.
00:21:22Oh, my God.
00:21:23Oh, my God.
00:21:29Excuse me.
00:21:46As a matter of fact, I could probably make these diamonds for a shilling each.
00:21:59Now, if you put these on, gentlemen, please.
00:22:02Is there any danger?
00:22:04Danger? Oh, I see. You refer to my wall.
00:22:08Well, before I learned how to cool diamonds quickly, a small stone exploded.
00:22:13Sometimes they explode even now.
00:22:15However, I have, I think, eliminated that possibility.
00:22:19Now, gentlemen, are you ready?
00:22:22Stand back.
00:23:17Gentlemen, you have been present at the birth of a diamond.
00:23:32Now, after a few seconds cooling, you shall see yourself.
00:23:45There, gentlemen, is your diamond.
00:23:48That isn't a diamond.
00:24:02Perfect. About 15 carat.
00:24:05Oh, size makes no difference.
00:24:07If I had larger equipment, like Dr. Petulian's...
00:24:11Petulian?
00:24:11Yes, Petulian, the American scientist.
00:24:14I could make diamonds as large as ostrich eggs.
00:24:17Well, then why don't you?
00:24:18Because Petulian is my rival, and I don't want him to know yet what I've done.
00:24:22Professor, my colleagues and I will pay you 50,000 pounds
00:24:27for the exclusive control of your process.
00:24:29A bad bargain, gentlemen.
00:24:32After a few weeks, my process will be free to everyone.
00:24:36If you publish this formula, the most precious jewels in the world will be worth no more than pebbles.
00:24:41Yes, but diamonds will still be beautiful.
00:24:43What woman will want to wear diamonds then?
00:24:45We're ready to pay you 50,000 pounds to destroy your notes, to suppress your secret.
00:24:51I am only interested in being the first man to make a perfect large diamond.
00:24:56Well, name your figure. Anything up to half a million pounds.
00:25:01That means power, security, leisure.
00:25:04But I have all that I want.
00:25:06Do you mean to say that you value your name on a scientific paper more than half a million pounds
00:25:11in cash?
00:25:12Yes, yes. That's exactly the case.
00:25:17We ask that you consider the matter for a day after.
00:25:20Gentlemen, my decision is final.
00:25:26This is more serious than you think, Professor.
00:25:29Yes, business is serious, but I...
00:25:31This is serious yourself.
00:25:32My associates must protect their investments in one way or another.
00:25:36And while you're thinking it over, I suggest that you refrain from making more diamonds.
00:25:41Good morning.
00:25:44I'm in time, Sir Raymond.
00:25:46Good morning, Captain Drummond.
00:25:47Nice to see you again.
00:25:49And your friend, too.
00:25:50Permit me to return your property.
00:26:03And you searched his compartment.
00:26:06A book's no place to hide a diamond.
00:26:08The trouble is, Sir Raymond didn't know that.
00:26:11Oh.
00:26:12Stupid of him, wasn't it?
00:26:17Oh, it's you, Drummond.
00:26:20Annulgie.
00:26:23So, Sir Raymond threatened you?
00:26:25Definitely.
00:26:27Oh, what do you suggest that I do?
00:26:30You sell your formula?
00:26:32I will not.
00:26:34Oh, why don't you take a trip and miss the Royal Society meeting?
00:26:38On these notes, I'm preparing a paper that will make my name ring round the world.
00:26:42It's safe for you to walk about the streets of London with those notes in your pocket.
00:26:45Now, why don't let me keep them for you in my safe deposit box?
00:26:48No, thank you, Captain Drummond.
00:26:50I'll not be intimidated by anybody.
00:26:52The colossal impudence of them.
00:26:54Stop making diamonds.
00:26:55I will not stop.
00:26:56I'll make a bigger diamond than the Cullinor.
00:26:59Or even, even the Cullinan.
00:27:01I'll make the biggest diamond in the world.
00:27:09Dr. Petulian's laboratory.
00:27:11But he's very busy.
00:27:14Yes.
00:27:15Doctor.
00:27:16It's Professor Goodman.
00:27:18Professor Goodman?
00:27:19Well, I don't see why he should call me.
00:27:27Yes?
00:27:30Yes, how are you, Professor?
00:27:33Fine.
00:27:36What?
00:27:38You've made a 15-carat diamond.
00:27:44Fine work, Professor.
00:27:46Congratulations.
00:27:48Yes, I understand.
00:27:51Well known, not at the present time.
00:27:53I'll be glad to let you use my equipment.
00:27:56Yes.
00:27:56What time?
00:27:59Very well.
00:27:59I'll bring the equipment over to you at 9 o'clock tonight.
00:28:02Yes.
00:28:04Goodbye.
00:28:09You can't do that, Captain Drummond.
00:28:10Tell the Commissioner it's urgent.
00:28:11I've already given him that minute.
00:28:12Well, tell him it won't take five minutes.
00:28:15He says it won't take five minutes, sir.
00:28:17I'm here and I'm here.
00:28:20I thought I told you not to land in England.
00:28:22Colonel, you told me not to land at Croydon.
00:28:24And I obeyed you to the letter.
00:28:25I landed at Basingstück.
00:28:27Drummond.
00:28:27Will you please go away?
00:28:29You don't want me to pull out when I know a man's going to be murdered.
00:28:31You always have to interfere.
00:28:33Who's going to be murdered?
00:28:34Professor Bernard Goodman, number 24, St. Laban's Road.
00:28:37And who's going to do the job?
00:28:38I can tell you that, too.
00:28:39Sir Raymond Blantry.
00:28:41I don't see what's so funny.
00:28:43Come with me, my dear fellow.
00:28:44Come with me.
00:28:51Sir Raymond.
00:28:52This impetuous young man has just warned me.
00:28:55You're about to murder Professor Goodman.
00:28:57Really?
00:28:57Colonel.
00:28:58Sir Raymond has just asked me to have Professor Goodman placed in protective custody.
00:29:02You see, Drummond, I too share your feeling that the dear Professor is in danger.
00:29:07But you can't arrest an innocent man.
00:29:08Drummond, you're a young fool.
00:29:10The manufacture of diamonds is as dangerous to the Empire as counterfeiting.
00:29:14Message for you, sir.
00:29:15The situation's taken a new turn, gentlemen.
00:29:21The Home Secretary instructs me to give police cooperation to Goodman
00:29:24and to the American scientist, Dr. Petulian.
00:29:27Petulian, did you say?
00:29:29It appears that these gentlemen are about to attempt the manufacture of a diamond
00:29:32that will outshine the crown jewels of the Empire.
00:29:35Well, that's that.
00:29:36I must be on my way.
00:29:37I have an appointment.
00:29:38With Professor Goodman?
00:29:40Curiosity, my young friend, is reputed to have killed a cat.
00:29:45Drummond.
00:29:45Will you please go away?
00:29:47Go back and get married, or whatever it was.
00:29:49Stop minding other people's business.
00:29:51Stop annoying Sir Raymond Blanchery.
00:29:53He's one of the most important men of the country.
00:29:55And a murderer.
00:29:56What?
00:29:56Why do you know that?
00:29:57I don't know it, Colonel.
00:29:58I only suspect it.
00:29:59You do?
00:30:00Get out.
00:30:00Get out!
00:30:04Colonel!
00:30:04Your tie is crooked.
00:30:06Wait!
00:30:09Hello!
00:30:10Colonel!
00:30:10Division five.
00:30:11Friend Dennis.
00:30:12Put two of your best men on the house at 24th and Labans Road at nine o'clock tonight.
00:30:16Five.
00:30:17All right.
00:30:19Professor Goodman are rivals in a process for making artificial diamonds.
00:30:23We've experimented along similar lines, if that's what you mean.
00:30:26And you failed where Goodman has succeeded.
00:30:29At the present it appears so.
00:30:30Your, uh, syndicate is interested in the Goodman process?
00:30:33Very interested.
00:30:34Well, then why don't you talk to him?
00:30:35We have.
00:30:36We made him a very handsome offer.
00:30:37But Professor Goodman seems to think more of the glory of his discovery.
00:30:41Well, if he says he won't sell, he won't sell.
00:30:43He's a very stubborn old man.
00:30:44I understand you have an appointment with him.
00:30:47Yes.
00:30:48I'm letting him use some of my equipment.
00:30:50By taking it to him tonight.
00:30:52Nine.
00:30:53We can make it worth your while not to, uh, keep that appointment.
00:30:57Not...
00:30:57For what reason?
00:30:58Goodman's formula must be destroyed.
00:31:01I see.
00:31:02You want the formula destroyed.
00:31:04Don't you, Dr. Batulian?
00:31:06I have no objection.
00:31:08Well, we can help you, Doctor.
00:31:09Yes.
00:31:10Pack this.
00:31:11We'll pay you five thousand pounds to let us keep your appointment with Goodman this evening.
00:31:17Five thousand pounds?
00:31:19But what if I discover the process myself later?
00:31:21Financial arrangements will be made with you so that your discovery will never become known.
00:31:27It seems I have no choice, gentlemen.
00:31:29What do you propose?
00:31:36Before we make a bargain, we must understand each other completely.
00:31:40Goodman and his laboratory will be totally destroyed by an explosion.
00:31:45What do you expect me to do?
00:31:46Nothing, except remain in your rooms so that you'll have an alibi in the event of an investigation.
00:31:52I see.
00:31:52And you two gentlemen will keep my appointment with Professor Goodman.
00:31:57Exactly.
00:31:57I will arrive at nine o'clock, disguised as you.
00:32:01He'll never suspect.
00:32:03Very well.
00:32:04I'll remain here.
00:32:08Good day, gentlemen.
00:32:10Good day.
00:32:16Get the equipment out of this box.
00:32:18Aren't you going to keep your appointment with Professor Goodman?
00:32:20Yes, yes.
00:32:20We'll be there.
00:32:21But we'll be there before nine o'clock.
00:32:23And when Professor Goodman's laboratory is destroyed, they'll find the body of Mr. Roberts.
00:32:29We'll have Professor Goodman at some out-of-the-way place in the country.
00:32:32Oh, I see.
00:32:33Then you're not satisfied with Blantry's five thousand pounds.
00:32:35I think Blantry will be glad to pay us fifty thousand pounds.
00:32:48Oh, Dr. Betulian.
00:32:50How good of you two have come.
00:32:52I'm afraid I'm a little ahead of time.
00:32:54Well, better early than late, eh?
00:32:57My equipment.
00:32:58Oh, come in, then.
00:33:00Now, round to the right.
00:33:09You can go, Mrs. Weavins.
00:33:11I shan't require you any more tonight.
00:33:13Thank you, sir.
00:33:18Twenty-four, this is the house.
00:33:26Here, who are you?
00:33:28I'll ask you the same thing, my man.
00:33:30We're keeping an eye on this house tonight.
00:33:32That's who we are.
00:33:33Now answer the question.
00:33:34I'm the lady what does for Professor Goodman.
00:33:37And these persons just left a farthor.
00:33:39But at present, if you've no objection, I'm in search of refreshment.
00:33:58Here.
00:33:59What do you want?
00:34:00I have an appointment with Professor Goodman.
00:34:03What's the name?
00:34:04I am Dr. Petulian.
00:34:07That's right.
00:34:08You can go in.
00:34:28Come in, Mr. Robert.
00:34:32Come in, Mr. Robert.
00:34:49I regret to inform you, sir.
00:34:51Professor Goodman does not answer his doorbell.
00:34:53But I will try myself, huh?
00:34:54Yeah, I advise against it.
00:34:55Why?
00:34:56There are two constables lurking in this robbery, sir.
00:34:58Well, there must be a rare one, though.
00:35:00Tenny, get me a...
00:35:00Will this be of any use, sir?
00:35:02Oh, no, Tenny.
00:35:04What is this, sir?
00:35:05An excellent idea.
00:35:06I rather like it, sir.
00:35:07Now, you wait here.
00:35:08And if the constables start after me, give me a double toot in the horn, right?
00:35:10Right.
00:35:11Toot toot, sir?
00:35:12Right.
00:35:36Good evening, gentlemen.
00:35:37Good evening.
00:35:38Good evening, sir.
00:35:39Uh, Captain Drummond, we have special instructions to look for you, sir.
00:35:44Very clever.
00:35:48You better come along with us, sir.
00:36:00I'm rather afraid it should have been toot toot, sir.
00:36:03Oh, dear.
00:36:04What are we going to do now?
00:36:06There's a van who just stopped outside Professor Goodman's house, sir.
00:36:13Something must be wrong.
00:36:14I'm going in, after all.
00:36:15My own father-in-law.
00:36:16I'll go along with you.
00:36:17No, no, no, no.
00:36:17You lie doggo.
00:36:18If they try to follow me, stop them.
00:36:20Stop them, sir?
00:36:20How?
00:36:21Yes.
00:36:21Well, how?
00:36:22You know, just...
00:36:23Stop them.
00:36:24Oh, yes.
00:36:31Stop them.
00:36:32mean, sir.
00:36:59Stop from me, sir.
00:37:03Stop!
00:37:05Stop!
00:37:06Stop!
00:37:23There's a car following us.
00:37:30Don't walk tight.
00:37:37No!
00:37:38Oh, help!
00:37:54Pixie!
00:37:56Pixie!
00:37:58Watch out!
00:38:12You!
00:38:13You!
00:38:14Time for an excuse to lock you up!
00:38:15Now you furnish it!
00:38:17Quick!
00:38:17You're trying to batter your way into that house!
00:38:19Colonel, I...
00:38:19Housebreaking is housebreaking!
00:38:21I told you I was only trying to prevent a murder!
00:38:23You always break the law with the best intentions, don't you?
00:38:25Well, let's time you've gone too far!
00:38:27Take him away!
00:38:28All right, Colonel.
00:38:29But after you lock me up, will you search Professor Goodman's house?
00:38:31I will not!
00:38:32There's nothing wrong with Professor Goodman!
00:38:34There's nothing wrong with his house!
00:38:48Hello!
00:38:49What was it?
00:38:50What happened?
00:38:50I got off for a pretty good idea!
00:38:51Leave me quiet!
00:38:52Hello!
00:38:53Ha!
00:38:53There's been an explosion, sir!
00:38:55Oh!
00:38:56Where?!
00:38:57There's been an explosion, sir!
00:38:59Oh!
00:39:00I know that!
00:39:01Where?!
00:39:0124th and Leibon's Road, sir!
00:39:03Come on!
00:39:03What shall we do with the prisoner, sir?
00:39:04Bring me along!
00:39:08There's been an explosion, sir!
00:39:26I know it wasn't the explosion!
00:39:30Somebody hit me!
00:39:31Easy now!
00:39:32They often get this way in mild concussion cases.
00:39:34They remember a lot of things.
00:39:36A lot of things that aren't so.
00:39:37I know!
00:39:38The only one?
00:39:39The only one so far, sir?
00:39:41Identified?
00:39:41Professor Goodman, sir!
00:39:42His son-in-law identified the watch and shoes!
00:39:45Well, Drummond, I owe you!
00:39:47Drummond!
00:39:47Big Bob, please!
00:39:48He seems to be gone!
00:39:50What?
00:39:50Well, all of you standing here!
00:39:51Go and get him!
00:39:52No one's allowed in here, sir!
00:39:54Professor Goodman's a friend of mine!
00:39:56Sorry, sir!
00:39:56Look at the laboratory and the whole rear of the house blown to bits!
00:39:59Can't let anyone in!
00:40:01I told you fellas to stay back!
00:40:02Oh, that's all!
00:40:03I want to get a picture!
00:40:03Get back and down and stay!
00:40:06Yeah, where are you going?
00:40:09I don't know!
00:40:10I don't know!
00:40:10You'd better come across the inspector!
00:40:14Well, I'm Dr. Petunian!
00:40:16I'm looking for Professor Goodman's house!
00:40:18I have an appointment with him!
00:40:20Appointment, eh?
00:40:21What time?
00:40:22Uh, nine o'clock!
00:40:23He, uh, sent an express van for me and my equipment!
00:40:27Nine o'clock and you arrive here now!
00:40:29Well, I'm trying to tell you!
00:40:31The men drove me for miles through the side streets and...
00:40:35There he is!
00:40:37The blackguard!
00:40:38There he is!
00:40:39What do you mean?
00:40:40Why, he was the man that called on Professor Goodman earlier this evening!
00:40:44Impossible!
00:40:45I haven't seen Professor Goodman in years!
00:40:48Oh, I did speak to him on the telephone!
00:40:50You didn't call to this house tonight?
00:40:52Oh, as heaven is!
00:40:53My witness!
00:40:54I pray this is a matter for a majesty to decide!
00:40:56Sergeant!
00:40:56Why...
00:40:57Who can't do this to me?
00:40:58No, I can't, eh?
00:40:59You can, but you shouldn't, Inspector!
00:41:01Who call me and...
00:41:03What is this all about, anyway?
00:41:05He sneaked through the lines and was popping about in the house, sir!
00:41:08I confess!
00:41:09But I had a look around before your men trampled everything into the dust!
00:41:12And I found some...
00:41:13Hmm...
00:41:14Some bits of hair!
00:41:15Obviously, more of a false beard or wig!
00:41:18In the name I sainted out!
00:41:20Someone came here disguised as Dr. Petulian!
00:41:22With a packing case full of TNT!
00:41:25Now, if you've quite finished with me, Inspector...
00:41:28Don't call me, Inspector!
00:41:30Sorry!
00:41:31May I be on my way?
00:41:33With pleasure!
00:41:33I'll see you in the car!
00:41:43You're not eating your kipper, sir!
00:41:45They're quite nice!
00:41:46Penny, don't you remember anything about the van you tried to follow?
00:41:50Not exactly, sir!
00:41:51I'm sure I should know it if I saw it again!
00:41:54Isn't Mr. Longworth breakfasting this morning, sir?
00:41:56He was up and away hours ago!
00:41:58He's out at the airport hoping to meet Mrs. Longworth!
00:42:00But there's no airliner schedule, sir!
00:42:02I know!
00:42:02Hold him there!
00:42:10Good morning!
00:42:11Good morning, Dennis!
00:42:13They did charter a plane!
00:42:16Hugh!
00:42:24Hugh!
00:42:27What really happened?
00:42:29Well, Gwen, there was an explosion and...
00:42:31Well, nobody seems to know exactly what happened.
00:42:34Did...
00:42:35Did he suffer much?
00:42:36It must have been all over in a fraction of a second.
00:42:38But the identification was very difficult, Gwen, and...
00:42:42seeing the police.
00:42:43Aren't you sure it was, Daddy?
00:42:45Well, they seem to be sure, but...
00:42:47But you're not.
00:42:48Well, now, Gwen, really, I...
00:42:50You think my father may be alive?
00:42:53Come, dear.
00:42:53We'll take you to the hotel.
00:42:55Oh, I just know Daddy's alive.
00:42:58You'll find him.
00:42:59Algy will help.
00:43:00We'll all help.
00:43:13Penny, we've got to do something.
00:43:15Can you remember anything about the third man who came out of the house after Mr. Longworth was hit on
00:43:19the head?
00:43:19It was very, very dark, sir.
00:43:22But I believe he had a beard, sir.
00:43:27I'll see who it is, sir.
00:43:34I must see Captain Drummond at once.
00:43:36It's very important.
00:43:44I'm Dr. Petulian.
00:43:48I want you to sit down, Doctor.
00:43:59The late Professor Goodman seems to have had a premonition of what was to happen to him.
00:44:02Yes?
00:44:03A week ago, he sent me a letter requesting that in the event of his death, I was to carry
00:44:07on his diamond experiments.
00:44:08I see.
00:44:10But how does this affect me?
00:44:12Goodman gave his precious notes to you for safekeeping.
00:44:14Oh, on the contrary, Doctor.
00:44:16I asked him to do so, but he refused.
00:44:18I know you have those notes, Captain Drummond.
00:44:22Read this.
00:44:30Dear Drummond, in the event of anything happening to me, will you please turn over my notes to my old
00:44:34friend and colleague, Dr. Max Petulian, Bernard Goodman.
00:44:40You will give me the notes at once, please?
00:44:43I guess they're in my safe deposit box.
00:44:46I could go there with you.
00:44:48Yes, of course, but I should like to have this handwriting checked just to make sure it is Professor Goodman's.
00:44:52What?
00:44:54I should wish.
00:44:55There's so little time left before the meeting in the Royal Society.
00:44:58Yes, but perhaps you'll come back, say, four o'clock this afternoon?
00:45:02Four o'clock.
00:45:04I'll be here.
00:45:18Penny!
00:45:19Yes, sir?
00:45:20Give me some writing paper, will you?
00:45:22Yes, sir.
00:45:28Clean plain paper and the envelope, sir, isn't that rather risky?
00:45:31There's no time for anything else.
00:45:33How many guests are you expecting, John?
00:45:35Only two.
00:45:36Tea or whiskey and soda, sir?
00:45:37Neither, Tony.
00:45:39You'd better stay within car with a revolver.
00:45:40Very good, sir.
00:45:50Come in, Inspector.
00:45:51Don't call me, Inspector.
00:45:53Well, what'd you call me down here for?
00:45:55Where's that letter I phoned you about?
00:45:57I suppose you'll say it's a forgery.
00:45:59Not at all.
00:46:00Gwen Longworth, Sir Father's handwriting.
00:46:02Go ahead.
00:46:03Give Dr. Petullian the notes.
00:46:04I can't.
00:46:05You see, Professor Goodman didn't leave them to me.
00:46:07What?
00:46:08If Goodman didn't leave them, why should he...
00:46:10Exactly.
00:46:13I'll wait.
00:46:14I thought you would.
00:46:16But only for a few minutes.
00:46:24Fairly obvious Petullian isn't coming here.
00:46:27Just wait.
00:46:27I can't wait.
00:46:28I might have known it'll be like this.
00:46:30Drummond, why don't you go back to Switzerland?
00:46:32And the man who called on me this morning couldn't have been the rare Petullian.
00:46:35What are you talking about?
00:46:35Must have been the man who was impersonating him.
00:46:37And there is the reason why he didn't come back at four o'clock.
00:46:41Colonel, why don't you go back to Scotland Yard or wherever it was and take your police escort with you?
00:46:46They're allowed to frighten away Petullian or his impersonator or both.
00:46:50I know.
00:46:51My tie is crooked.
00:46:52Oh!
00:46:58Tenny!
00:46:59Tenny!
00:47:04Won't you come in, Dr. Petullian?
00:47:13What's the meaning of this?
00:47:15I owe you an apology, Doctor.
00:47:17An apology?
00:47:18Gee, why do you ask?
00:47:19Now, please let me explain.
00:47:20Won't you come in and sit down?
00:47:26It all began, Doctor, when a man obviously impersonating you came to my flat this morning with a letter.
00:47:31Letter?
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:36Do you recognize this?
00:47:41That's just what I came to see you about.
00:47:43This letter was stolen from my rooms last night.
00:47:46And you didn't report it to the police?
00:47:48Oh, absolutely not.
00:47:50The police would only have made matters worse by publicizing what Goodman wanted to keep quiet.
00:47:54Now, will you please comply with Goodman's wishes and turn those notes over to me?
00:47:58Yes, of course.
00:48:00Tenny?
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:01Will you get Professor Goodman's notes?
00:48:02Very good, sir.
00:48:08Oh, thank you.
00:48:10Well, I must be off.
00:48:12Good day, sir.
00:48:21Tenny, my hat.
00:48:24And while you're following me, gentlemen, sir, might I snoop around a bit on my motorcycle?
00:48:29You might, Tenny.
00:48:29And turn us along if I'll be back shortly or else I'll telephone him.
00:48:32Very good, sir.
00:48:49He's still following us.
00:48:51Shall I speed up and lose him?
00:48:53I wouldn't lose our friend Drummond for anything in the world.
00:48:58In the village garage, we'll park there.
00:49:21Are you walking all the way to the house?
00:49:24Better if we make Drummond follow us on foot.
00:49:52Come in, Captain Drummond.
00:49:55Good evening.
00:49:57Make yourself at home.
00:50:02The man from whom I rented this house was something of a collector.
00:50:06So I see.
00:50:07His taste brought around the shop instinct.
00:50:10My own hobby.
00:50:12Run to the sherry.
00:50:23I can recommend it to Montegliardo very highly.
00:50:28I came here to see Professor Goodman.
00:50:31What?
00:50:32To see Professor Goodman.
00:50:34I'm not a medium.
00:50:35I can't bring back the dead.
00:50:37Oh, but Professor Goodman isn't dead, Doctor.
00:50:39At least the letter you gave me from him was written within the last 24 hours.
00:50:42What do you mean?
00:50:43The ink.
00:50:45Oh, of course.
00:50:47The blue-black ink.
00:50:48It changes to black only after a few days.
00:50:51And this ink was still blue.
00:50:56We all make mistakes, don't we?
00:50:59Even Bulldog Drummond makes mistakes now and then.
00:51:03Look out behind you.
00:51:04Oh, no.
00:51:05I won't fall for that one, Doctor.
00:51:06Or whoever you are.
00:51:08Now, if you don't mind, I'll thank you.
00:51:17Hugh Drummond.
00:51:22Ah, Professor.
00:51:24Come on, boy.
00:51:27There, boy.
00:51:29Well, at least I was right.
00:51:31I guess from your letters you were still alive.
00:51:33So far, yes.
00:51:34But I didn't expect you to be trapped here with me.
00:51:38I had it in the petroleum.
00:51:44Gentlemen, don't you think it's about time we came to an understanding?
00:51:47Now, you tricked me into bringing Drummond into this.
00:51:50Instead of Goodman's notes, you gave me blank sheets of paper.
00:51:54I want those notes.
00:51:55If you'll release Drummond and take me to my house, I'll give them to you.
00:52:00Where are they?
00:52:01In the pocket of my laboratory jacket.
00:52:04Your laboratory was blown to smithereens, Professor.
00:52:09Then my notes are destroyed.
00:52:12Unfortunately.
00:52:13But what you've done once, you can do again.
00:52:15But I can't get it done in time for the Royal Society meeting.
00:52:18I'm not interested in the Royal Society.
00:52:21Your process should have been worth millions to you.
00:52:23Well, it'll be worth millions to me.
00:52:25And I mean to have it.
00:52:26It'll take a very long time.
00:52:27Surely not.
00:52:28With an able assistant like Captain Drummond.
00:52:31And if we refuse?
00:52:37The consequences will be unpleasant.
00:52:42And that's all the hell you can give us.
00:52:44I know possibly nothing of the others.
00:52:46But I want to find Roberts even more than you do.
00:52:49Why he should run away is a complete mystery.
00:52:52A mystery?
00:52:53It's all a mystery.
00:52:54Goodman blown to bits.
00:52:55Petulian's supposed to aid him.
00:52:57Disappears.
00:52:57Roberts disappears.
00:52:58Now Drummond disappears.
00:53:00Drummond gone?
00:53:01Vanished into thin air.
00:53:03Do you have any idea where he is?
00:53:04The only clue is his abandoned car.
00:53:07Found in the village of Market Rutherford.
00:53:09Market Rutherford?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:10Do you know where it is?
00:53:11No.
00:53:12No.
00:53:12I...
00:53:12No idea.
00:53:14Well, I must be on.
00:53:17Don't you go disappearing, too.
00:53:18Never fear.
00:53:27Have that man follow, or they might lead us to Roberts.
00:53:29Oh, I know something's happened to Hugh.
00:53:31He'd never stay away this long without telephoning.
00:53:40Captain Hugh Rutherford.
00:53:42Who?
00:53:42Oh, I've had a pardon, sir.
00:53:44Captain Hugh Drummond.
00:53:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:47My name's Longworth.
00:53:48Algernon Longworth.
00:53:48What's happened?
00:53:50Well, a car, miss, registered in the name of Captain Hugh Drummond, has been left standing
00:53:56alongside a fire hydrant since last night.
00:53:59Where?
00:54:00Uh, Market Rutherford, miss.
00:54:02Market Rutherford, huh?
00:54:03Well, let's go.
00:54:04Tenny!
00:54:05Tenny!
00:54:06Tenny!
00:54:06Tenny's off on his motorcycle searching.
00:54:13Here, boy, boy.
00:54:15Have you seen it?
00:54:16There's a truck like you described in that there garage, Mr. Tenny.
00:54:20Filling up with petrol.
00:54:21It'll be out any minute now.
00:54:23I hope you've spotted it.
00:54:24If you have, I'll give you a bank.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:26Most of my assistants only get a couple of shillings.
00:54:28Oh, but how many of us are there?
00:54:30Oh, eight or ten scattered about from London to the north of England.
00:54:33Oh, what an organization.
00:54:36Yes, I rather like it.
00:54:37Ah!
00:54:51Is he still following us?
00:54:54He's been frailness ever since we left the city, and he's no officer either.
00:54:58Well, here goes.
00:55:01Ah!
00:55:02Ah!
00:55:02Ah!
00:55:03Ah!
00:55:03Ah!
00:55:04Ah!
00:55:05Ah!
00:55:06Ah!
00:55:10Ah!
00:55:12Ah!
00:55:15Ah!
00:55:17Ah!
00:55:19Ah!
00:55:22Ah!
00:55:27Ah!
00:55:28Ah!
00:55:28Ah!
00:55:29Ah!
00:55:29Ah!
00:55:30Ah!
00:55:31Ah!
00:55:31Ah!
00:55:32Ah!
00:55:33Ah!
00:55:33Ah!
00:55:34Ah!
00:55:34Ah!
00:55:35Ah!
00:55:36Ah!
00:55:41Well, we gave him the slip, eh?
00:55:44Can't take it, eh?
00:55:46What the...
00:55:47Now, you will do as I say, gentlemen.
00:55:50What did you do with that box when you left St. Leaven's Road?
00:55:53What box?
00:55:55Drive me to where you took that box, or I shall be forced to slip you the sludge.
00:56:01Now, listen, pal, you wouldn't...
00:56:03I would, and how?
00:56:09The base headquarters will be right here in this office.
00:56:12Now, Hugh couldn't have gone far without his car, not more than a couple of miles, right?
00:56:15Right, right.
00:56:15Right.
00:56:16So, I have drawn this circle.
00:56:18Then you must be somewhere within this circle.
00:56:19All we have to do is to scour that circle.
00:56:21With a fine-toothed comb.
00:56:22From house to house.
00:56:23That will take days and days.
00:56:24Oh, no, it won't.
00:56:25Each of us will take one district.
00:56:29A, B, C.
00:56:30Scranton, you should have been an army officer.
00:56:32I should have been Mrs. Hugh Drummond today.
00:56:35But I'm not.
00:56:36Let me see, A.
00:56:36There's B, C.
00:56:37Right?
00:56:38Right, right.
00:56:39Right.
00:56:40A.
00:56:48I say, old man, have you seen anything of Captain Drummond?
00:56:52I beg your pardon.
00:56:54I'm looking for Captain Drummond.
00:56:58We don't want none.
00:57:22It's a slow process, Drummond.
00:57:24Well, the slower, the better.
00:57:47Kenny!
00:57:48Kenny!
00:57:49Oh, you're all right, Kenny.
00:57:50Am I, sir?
00:57:52So you walked into the trap too, huh?
00:57:54Oh, yes, sir.
00:57:55Why?
00:57:56I did it on purpose, sir.
00:57:58What?
00:58:00I planned to be captured, sir.
00:58:07Look at my legs.
00:58:10Oh, no, sir.
00:58:11Come on, I'm not out of my head.
00:58:31Hexer blades.
00:58:32Ah, I'm telling you, you're a wonder.
00:58:34I do my best to give satisfaction.
00:58:43May I suggest, sir, if you saw a little higher up,
00:58:47you'd be able to push and pull at the same time.
00:58:50That's an excellent idea, Kenny.
00:58:52I'd rather like it, sir.
00:59:00Pardon me.
00:59:01Has the Captain Drummond been here?
00:59:03Um, uh, Captain Drummond, did you say?
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:08Well, uh, who are you, may I ask?
00:59:10I'm Miss Clavering, his fiancée.
00:59:13Come in, Miss Clavering.
00:59:21Well, that's that.
00:59:23I hope Phyllis had better luck than we did.
00:59:26Oh, good old Phyllis.
00:59:27She'll run into something.
00:59:28She's always lucky.
00:59:30I say, where's your phone?
00:59:31Yes, sir, inside the office, sir.
00:59:35To you, old boy.
00:59:37Angie, Gwen, I've got great news for you.
00:59:39Your father's outside.
00:59:40Oh.
00:59:40My father?
00:59:41Yes.
00:59:42Look out, old boy.
00:59:42She's going to pay.
00:59:43Here, here, here, here.
00:59:44Don't faint now.
00:59:46Angie, give me the telephone.
00:59:47Here you are.
00:59:49Angie, sometimes I wonder.
00:59:51Oh, you won't.
00:59:52Phyllis be glad when she gets back.
00:59:54Phyllis, when she gets back from where?
00:59:56Oh, well, you see, we had to locate you.
00:59:58She's out ringing doorbells.
00:59:59She'll be back any minute.
01:00:00Is she alone?
01:00:01Of course she is, yes.
01:00:02You see, we had to divide up the territory.
01:00:04It was quicker that way.
01:00:05A, B, and C.
01:00:07C, that was her route.
01:00:09Angie, that's why she's not back.
01:00:11Huh?
01:00:11She's going to Petulian's house.
01:00:12So long.
01:00:13Now, lend me a gun.
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:24I'm very sorry to have to do this, young lady.
01:00:26But you shouldn't have interfered.
01:00:32Is everything packed?
01:00:33Yes, and we'd better get going.
01:00:34As soon as we dispose of our guests upstairs,
01:00:36it'll be perfectly safe.
01:00:37Out the piece in the car.
01:00:39Okay, let's go.
01:01:40Come on, come on, get up out of there.
01:01:41No monkey shins.
01:01:44Jumping!
01:01:45They're gone.
01:01:46Put up your hands, gentlemen.
01:01:47And no monkey shins.
01:01:48Now, if you'll just step this way, please.
01:01:54Now, gentlemen.
01:02:03I'm afraid you'll have to come on a little journey, my dear young lady.
01:02:24I'm afraid you'll have to come on a little bit.
01:02:57I'm afraid you'll have to come on a little bit.
01:03:28You like it, Petrullian?
01:03:31Drummond.
01:03:32Now, now, this sort of thing won't do at all.
01:03:37Roberts, your disguise is perfect.
01:03:38You fool of me.
01:03:39Ah, Trevor.
01:03:40Stop this nonsense, Roberts.
01:03:41I've told you that.
01:03:42This is not Roberts.
01:03:43Roberts is dead.
01:03:44And you killed him and left him in Goodman's laboratory to be blown to bits.
01:03:47A very good guess, Drummond.
01:03:48But none of you will tell any tale.
01:03:50Now face the wall.
01:03:50Have you thought of the police?
01:03:51The police will continue to search for Roberts, thinking he's disguised as me.
01:03:55Up.
01:03:56Up.
01:03:57Save them for me, Drummond.
01:04:00The rest of my sergeant, take over his disguise.
01:04:02Ah, you're making a mistake, Inspector.
01:04:04Don't call me inspe...
01:04:05What mistake?
01:04:06You've got the wrong man.
01:04:07What are you talking about?
01:04:08This man is the real Batoolian.
01:04:10You may pull his beard if you like.
01:04:12He knew that Roberts was about to take his place at the appointment for Professor Goodman this evening.
01:04:16But he got there first and pretended to be disguised as himself.
01:04:19You see, that was his perfect alibi.
01:04:21Drummond, we'll make a detective of you yet.
01:04:26Book him up later.
01:04:28Good work.
01:04:28That mutant.
01:04:29Lucky you happened in.
01:04:31We didn't happen in, Sir Raymond.
01:04:33We were following you, as it occurs.
01:04:35Me?
01:04:35Well, I had nothing whatever to do with this, I assure you.
01:04:38I'm always opposed to violence.
01:04:40Of course, sir.
01:04:41We're very grateful to you for helping put an end to this great menace to international economics.
01:04:46There's also the matter, the murder of a detective in Geneva.
01:04:50The Swiss police will be glad to know why he was killed.
01:04:53And then we shall also want to know why Professor Goodman's house was blown up.
01:04:59Take him away.
01:05:00Look.
01:05:02And this was supposed to be our wedding day.
01:05:04Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
01:05:05But if there's a registry office still open...
01:05:07And if there isn't, she'll probably break into one.
01:05:09No, you won't.
01:05:10You leave on the first boat train for Switzerland.
01:05:12On the police escort.
01:05:14Darling, a shotgun wedding.
01:05:16I'll be right back.
01:05:16Bye.
01:05:17Bye.
01:05:27Bye.
01:05:31Bye.
01:05:34Bye.
01:05:38THE END
