00:00The
00:54Stop chasing that train, New Drummond.
00:56Aunty, the engineer would think I'm a quitter if I stop now.
01:02Keep your eyes on the road.
01:04If Phyllis here, I can't.
01:06It'll be 20 more hours, darling.
01:08May I say I hope so, sir?
01:09May I say I doubt if there will ever be a wedding?
01:12Well, what could be better our marriage this time?
01:14What prevented it five other times?
01:16Fires, murders, explosions, everything sort of an earthquake.
01:19This time, Aunty...
01:20Not your aunt, you drummond.
01:22Look out!
01:26Oh, we made it.
01:28Something seems to whisper, my love.
01:29That was only the beginning.
01:31Of our happy married life.
01:32Oh, of a trip to the hospital.
01:52What?
01:53Pardon me, my good man, but would you be good enough to tell me the way to, uh...
01:57To, uh...
01:58Did I have forgotten where I wanted to go?
02:00This is Rockingham, sir.
02:02Rockingham.
02:02Oh, yes, quite so.
02:03Yes.
02:04Rockingham Tower.
02:05The residence of Captain Drummond.
02:07Go right up the old Roman road.
02:09All you have to do is follow the furniture vans.
02:11Follow the furniture vans?
02:13Now, why nurse should I want to follow furniture vans?
02:15Well, you see, Captain Drummond's always lived at the lodge.
02:18But he's getting married tomorrow, so they're opening the towers.
02:21First time in 20 years, sir.
02:22Oh, I see.
02:23Oh, yes.
02:23Yes, quite so.
02:24Oh, yeah.
02:25Yes.
02:26It's rather warm for the time of the year, don't you think?
02:29Hey, it's warm all right, but it's August, you know.
02:31August?
02:33My calendar said January.
02:36I must have forgotten to turn it.
02:38Thank you so much.
02:39Up the Roman road, follow the furniture vans.
02:41Captain Drummond, right?
02:51How are you, Tenny?
02:53Thank you, Miss.
02:53Miss Hannity.
02:54Captain Drummond.
02:55Hello, Tenny.
02:56I'll put these in water, if I may.
02:57Our things are in the car, Tennyson.
02:58I'll see to them, Miss.
03:00Your rooms are in the east wing.
03:01The towel will be ready by dinner time, sir.
03:03Good, Tenny.
03:04And tomorrow?
03:05I've made all arrangements, sir.
03:06Rehearsal at 11 and the wedding at 12.
03:09And it's the last chance you'll have if I have anything to say about this.
03:12You hear that, Tenny?
03:13No nonsense.
03:14This time we've got to get married.
03:15As they say in America, sir, this time it is in the bag.
03:20I don't like American slang, Tennyson.
03:23Shall I show you to your rooms, Miss?
03:25Bosh!
03:26Spent half my time here when I was a girl.
03:28Coming, Phyllis?
03:29Presently, Aunt Blanche.
03:31I'm afraid Auntie doesn't like us.
03:33But I do.
03:35That will be Mr. Longworth, sir.
03:37Yes, making himself useful again.
03:39I'm afraid so, sir.
03:41That yourself?
03:42I don't know, old boy.
03:45The way you saved that vase is remarkable.
03:48Quite acrobatic, what?
03:49Yes, hello, Auntie.
03:50Hello, hello, boy.
03:52The sparkle in those eyes can mean only one thing.
03:55Happiness.
03:57Scotland Yard waits while I attend your wedding.
03:59Thank you, Colonel.
04:00By the way, did I hear a crash?
04:01Oh, yes.
04:02All the way from the top shelf, old boy.
04:05I never broke it.
04:06It's lucky for you, Auntie.
04:07That's a genuine Ming worth 200 pounds.
04:09200 pounds?
04:09I'd better put it right on.
04:18It was worth 200 pounds, old boy.
04:22This way, Mr. Bolton.
04:24Mr. Tennyson should be somewhere about.
04:27Mr. Tennyson?
04:28He's in charge of the staff.
04:30I thought the butler was usually in charge.
04:33Captain Drummond's gentleman's gentleman.
04:36He's the one you have to keep your eye on at Rockingham.
04:39Why, he's even discharged the new cook.
04:41Oh, that came only this morning.
04:43Because she didn't agree with him about the Yorkshire pudding.
04:47He's the whole cheese, I can tell you.
04:50Quite so, Mrs. Tolz.
04:52The cheese.
04:53The whole cheese.
04:54Oh, I'm sure, sir.
04:55I didn't mean the truth.
04:56Quite so.
04:57You'll see that those roses are put in Miss Clavering's room.
05:00Yes, sir.
05:00Your Bolton, any butler?
05:02Shastra's agency sent me down, Mr. Tennyson.
05:07Been to some nice families.
05:09Oh, yes, sir.
05:09The very best.
05:10Yes, you'll begin your duties at once.
05:12Mrs. Thomas will show you at your quarters.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:30State papers of Roger Bacon.
05:32How frightfully interesting.
05:35I wonder what edition it is.
05:40Excuse us, sir.
05:42Oh, that's quite all right.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:51Wait.
05:53Pardon me, but is there something you want, sir?
05:57Oh, no, no, no.
05:58Nothing at all.
05:59No, no.
06:00Oh, is that my tea?
06:02Well, just put it somewhere.
06:05Somewhere.
06:05Pardon me, sir, but this is Captain Drummond's tea.
06:09Oh, Captain Drummond, yes.
06:10Oh, I asked him to come and see me, yes.
06:12Show him in.
06:13Show him in.
06:14Pardon me, sir, but Captain Drummond is in.
06:17Oh, how stupid.
06:19I came to see him, didn't I?
06:20Oh, just a moment, please.
06:22Oh.
06:25Oh.
06:29Good to be so good as a telemine here.
06:31Very good, sir.
06:32Uh, you'll, uh, wait here, sir?
06:34Oh, yes, you.
06:35Yes, yes, yes, yes.
06:36I'll wait here.
06:40Uh, come in.
06:47That's odd.
06:48I, I distinctly heard a knock.
06:50These things have no fixed value.
06:52Only what a collector's willing to pay for it.
06:53Splendid.
06:54Oh, well done.
06:56Gentlemen, to see you, sir.
06:57Oh.
06:59Professor Downey, Research Department, Museum of Historical Documents.
07:02Downey?
07:02What's he doing here?
07:03Well, do you know him, Colonel?
07:04Well, I've met him.
07:05In Scotland Yard?
07:07You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends,
07:10does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
07:14I like that.
07:15Ha ha!
07:15I see him about you, Hugh.
07:17He's a quaint old bird.
07:18Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:20I'll sue him in, Tanny.
07:21Very good.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Good as new, almost.
07:26That makes me feel much better.
07:27I'm so glad of that.
07:29Just let it dry for a few hours, will you?
07:31Oh, put it where it will be safe.
07:32Be careful, lousy.
07:33Ha ha!
07:34Not twice, Hugh.
07:34Ha ha!
07:39Ha ha!
07:40Ha ha!
07:43Ha ha!
07:45Ha ha!
07:46Ha ha!
07:48Ha ha!
07:49Ha ha ha!
07:49Professor Downey!
07:51Do you mean, did you break something?
07:56Well, Professor Downey, I'm Hugh Drummond.
07:58You're just in time for tea.
07:59Oh, I just had some tea out there.
08:01Oh, I see you've got some more here.
08:02How jolly!
08:03Ha ha ha!
08:04This is Algie Longworth.
08:06Longworth.
08:07Anglo-Norman name.
08:0811th century.
08:09How do you do?
08:10How do you do?
08:12Ha ha!
08:13Ha ha!
08:13Won't you come and meet my friends, Professor?
08:14Oh, oh, I'd be delighted.
08:18Phyllis, may I present Professor Downey, Miss Clavering.
08:20Ha ha!
08:21Charmed, dear.
08:21And Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
08:23How are you?
08:23Oh, well, fellas, good!
08:25Ha ha ha!
08:25What part might I ask of Scotland?
08:27Excuse me.
08:28Ha ha!
08:28No, no, no, Professor, you misunderstand.
08:30Colonel Nielsen is Commissioner of Scotland Yard.
08:32Oh, yes.
08:33I wrote a history about it once.
08:36Rather overrated, I fear.
08:37In Scotland Yard?
08:38Oh, no, no.
08:38My book.
08:40Tea, Professor?
08:41Oh, thanks.
08:42Nothing like a good cup of hot tea on a cold January day.
08:49Oh, perhaps I should explain the reason of my visit.
08:53It's about the treasure.
08:54Treasure?
08:55What treasure?
08:55I estimate the value to be in the neighborhood of one million pounds.
08:59Of course, in the days of Charles I, the value of the pound wasn't worth.
09:02What on earth are you talking about, Professor?
09:04Oh, I'd better explain.
09:06Yes, yes, I will explain.
09:08You've heard of, uh, Bori Isliani.
09:11No, I can't say that I have.
09:13Well, he was my assist in the museum until I had him arrested three years ago.
09:17Arrested what for?
09:18For theft, sir.
09:20Theft of these.
09:21At least, I should say a template theft since I've still got them.
09:24He was a scoundrel, sir.
09:26A sane, clever thinking scoundrel, sir, who masqueraded under the name of Seton.
09:32Henry Seton.
09:33Stop it, Hugh.
09:33Before something happens.
09:34Not a chance, darling.
09:36Professor, may I ask what those papers are?
09:38Oh, oh, oh, these are the plans of the ancient rooms and passages below Rocky Mount Tower.
09:42What, my own place?
09:43Yes.
09:44And this, this is the diary of Colonel John Cooper, a royalist officer under Charles I.
09:50One of my ancestors, darling.
09:51There's a portrait of him in the long gallery.
09:53Yes, we have a copy in the museum.
09:55Look rather a blackguard, a bit like you, uh, Captain Drummond.
10:03Wait, did I say something amusing?
10:05Not at all, Professor.
10:06Please go on.
10:07Let me see.
10:07Where was I?
10:08Oh, yes, I was puzzled as to why Seton should want to steal these particular papers.
10:12So I made a study of them together with all contemporary documents I had in my possession.
10:17And I came to the conclusion that there is a treasure, King's treasure, hidden somewhere.
10:23Here, perhaps, under our very feet.
10:25Did you hear that, darling?
10:26Right here in Rockingham.
10:27I might have known it.
10:28And now, uh, this is, uh, what, uh, Colonel Cooper says in his diary.
10:33Riding all day and all night got safely to Rockingham with the King's treasure.
10:37Did you hear that, darling?
10:38I heard.
10:39My wound, very painful.
10:42Conceal all the treasure in the passages without arousing suspicion of the servants.
10:46Dead will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
10:50Those are the passages, Captain Drummond, according to the plans.
10:54Rockingham is positively honeycombed.
10:56Oh, my.
10:57I was through them scores of times when a boy...
11:00Did you saw the crypt, the tower of the waters, the chamber of the spikes?
11:03The what?
11:03The tower of the water, the chamber of spikes.
11:06No, no, darling.
11:07No, they are new to me, sir.
11:08Then you haven't seen the places mentioned in this diary.
11:11Perhaps I didn't see them all.
11:13My father had the entrance to those passages walled up.
11:15Uh, where was the entrance?
11:17In one of the storerooms, I believe.
11:19Why, the one directly below this, as a matter of fact.
11:22Obviously, there's another set of passages.
11:24The diary describes them minutely.
11:27And where's the entrance to those passages, Professor?
11:30Unfortunately, Colonel, I cannot tell you yet.
11:34Good.
11:35You see, this diary makes use of a device very common at the time, a secret cipher.
11:40So that it conceals the exact location.
11:43Observe.
11:46And there it will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
11:50U-R-E-Z-Q-S-L-T-I-S.
11:54Sounds like Greek to me.
11:56Oh, no, no, my dear sir.
11:58If it were Greek, there'd be no differently.
12:00Well, it's all very exciting, Professor.
12:02But I'm afraid it's not going to make us much richer.
12:05How's that, darling?
12:06Oh, my dear sir, you are wrong.
12:08I have already made progress in reading the cipher.
12:11You have?
12:12Mm-hmm.
12:12But I am hampered as to exact data concerning the tower itself.
12:17Now, I thought, perhaps, if I might see it.
12:24Professor, I'm to be married tomorrow.
12:26And the treasure that becomes mine then is all that interests me.
12:31Bravo, darling.
12:32That's a very pretty speech.
12:33But I should be glad to have you as my guest for as long as you may require to carry
12:37out your researches.
12:38Oh, my dear Captain Drummond, you make me very happy.
12:41What a wonderful adventure this is going to be.
12:45That's what I'm afraid of.
13:00Professor Downey asked me to give you this, sir.
13:03He said he thought you might like to read it tonight.
13:05Cooper's darling, huh?
13:06Very thoughtful of him.
13:07You made him comfortable, Tony?
13:08In the north wing, sir.
13:09He's engrossed in studying the cipher.
13:11Well, you might put it beside my bed.
13:13Here you go, sir.
13:14Your elaborate indifference doesn't fool me a bit, Hugh Drummond.
13:17I know you're positively aching to tear Rocky him to pieces, stone by stone.
13:21But, darling, a million pounds.
13:23Hugh, please, won't you tell him to...
13:27Help!
13:36What a fool I am.
13:37On my record, darling, you're justified in expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
13:42If anything should happen now.
13:43Not this time, sweet.
13:44We'll be married tomorrow at the stroke of twelve.
14:01What prevented it five other times?
14:03Fires, murders, explosions, everything short of an earthquake.
14:08Don't worry, darling.
14:10We'll get married tomorrow.
14:22Where's the clergyman, Nancy?
14:24He'll be a long old boy.
14:25Don't get nervous.
14:26I thought everything was arranged.
14:27Don't worry, darling.
14:28It is.
14:33Cut it out, big boy.
14:35Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:40I bet you forgot the ring.
14:42Uh, quit towards your arsenic.
14:43I haven't.
14:53Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
14:55Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
15:23You really want to marry me, don't you be the two?
15:27Colonel, we'll...
15:28You, Drummond, you have the most uncanny faculty for getting into trouble
15:32just when you're about to be married.
15:37You're wasting your time, Drummond.
15:39Below you is the Thames River, and I will.
15:59Tenny!
16:00Yes, sir?
16:01The base is going to blow up any minute.
16:03Get out while you have a chance.
16:11Tenny.
16:12Tenny!
16:13I've tried to give satisfaction to him.
16:16Louder, Tenny, louder!
16:48One, two, one...
16:57Let's go.
17:27I'm expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
17:29If anything should happen now.
17:31At this time, sweetie.
17:32We'll be married tomorrow at the Spruce.
17:35In a wedding or out of it, I am the best man.
17:38Hurry up.
17:40Hurry up.
17:41Hurry up.
17:56Here.
17:56What?
18:24Captain Drummond.
18:25Captain Drummond.
18:26Help!
18:27Mr. Longworth!
18:29Come on in.
18:29Help!
18:54Tenny.
18:54Tenny, Tenny.
18:55What happened?
18:57We appear to have had a slight touch of nightmare, sir.
19:01There was no nightmare that hit me on the chin.
19:03Then it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
19:08You open the door.
19:18Have you two been fighting?
19:19Fighting?
19:20Oh, no, sir.
19:20What a few.
19:21No, no, darling.
19:22There's nothing to worry about.
19:23I warned you.
19:23If we came down here, something would happen.
19:25What was it?
19:26Probably a second story man, Colonel.
19:27Thought rocking him was still unoccupied.
19:30We rather got the worst of it, eh, Tenny?
19:31It could hardly be called a holiday, sir.
19:33Let's go after the blackers, old boy.
19:35There was only one, Algie.
19:36Only one.
19:37Only one?
19:39You mean you let one man knock you both down and then get away?
19:42Oh, dear, dear, dear.
19:43You're slipping, old thing.
19:44You too, Tenny.
19:45And we are humiliated, sir.
19:49Dennis, you mark my words.
19:51He'll wriggle out of this wedding just as he did all the others.
19:54Well, that's hardly fair, Aunt Blanche.
19:56I was just reading Colonel Cooper's diary.
20:05It's gone.
20:06And so am I.
20:08Good night.
20:09Colonel, somebody beside Donnie thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:12You didn't see his face?
20:13I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:15Afterwards, we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:17Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:20Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:22Then let's leave here now.
20:24We can be in London in an hour and...
20:29All right, darling.
20:30We'll do that very thing.
20:32Captain Drummond's room?
20:34Yes, Professor Donnie.
20:36He wants to speak to you.
20:38Says it's urgent.
20:39Don't talk to him, Hugh.
20:40He's my house guest, darling.
20:42I must.
20:42All right.
20:45There, there, old girl.
20:45It's quite all right.
20:46Nothing's going to happen.
20:47Yes, Professor.
20:50Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:53He's six minutes late.
20:54You have?
20:57He's solved the cipher.
20:59Go on, Professor.
21:00Are you certain?
21:01Yes, yes, yes.
21:02I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
21:13Henry Seaton.
21:14Hello.
21:16Hello.
21:17Are you there?
21:19So you know where the treasure is, Professor Donnie.
21:22Yes, Henry.
21:23Now I know why you tried to steal the Cooper Diary.
21:26You saved me a lot of work.
21:29Line's dead.
21:30I knew it.
21:31Tenny!
21:31I have them here, sir.
21:33I give up.
21:34Now, darling.
21:35I know it's not your fault.
21:36The fates are against us.
21:38It'll be the same if we went to Timbuktu to get married.
21:40But, sweetheart.
21:41As long as that's the way it is.
21:42Tenny, give me a pissy.
21:44Darling, you're one in a thousand.
21:45Last time I was one in a million.
21:49Professor.
21:51Professor Donnie.
21:52I say, old boy, let me, will you?
21:54Hello.
21:56Are you there?
21:57Are you there?
21:58I am here, sir.
22:01Stand back now.
22:08Let Algy try it, Hugh.
22:09Yes, I'll show you how, old boy.
22:10Hold this real.
22:16Ow!
22:17Oh, now, darling.
22:19No nerves, old girl.
22:19No nerves.
22:22In heaven's name, Hugh Drummond.
22:23Couldn't you wait until morning?
22:25What is it, sir?
22:25That's what we're trying to find out, Bolton.
22:27Pardon me, sir.
22:28And if you'll pardon me, sir.
22:32Do you really intend to marry this lunatic?
22:35I'm doing my best.
22:36Heaven protect your children.
22:38We'll name the first girl after you, auntie.
22:40Bosh!
22:44Well, well, well.
22:45Hurry up, I'm going to get back to sleep.
22:47Pardon me.
22:47Never mind, Danny.
22:50I'll follow you, sir.
23:07Hello.
23:08Rockingham Police Station?
23:10This is Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
23:13A man has been killed at Rockingham...
23:16No, no, no, no, no.
23:17Wait a minute.
23:17Not the lodge.
23:19Rockingham Tower.
23:20Notify the coroner
23:21and send a detail of police over here to patrol the grounds.
23:25Yes.
23:26Have them report to me personally.
23:27I'll explain when they arrive.
23:29Colonel.
23:30Hold the line, will you a minute?
23:31What is it, Algy?
23:32I've been thinking.
23:34What about?
23:37I...
23:37Nothing.
23:39I'm not surprised.
23:52I've checked the windows and doors in this wing, Mr. Tennyson.
23:54And the billiard room?
23:55Everything is secure, sir.
23:56You can start on the second floor.
23:58Very good, sir.
24:04I say thank you.
24:06How's Aunt Blanche?
24:08You gave her a sleeping tablet.
24:09Good, just what she needed.
24:11Colonel.
24:12Downey mentioned someone by the name of Seton, didn't he?
24:14Oh, this is interesting.
24:16Isiani, or Seton, was released from prison yesterday.
24:19I just got that from the yard as you came in.
24:21Then he's the man who murdered the professor.
24:23And tried to do me in.
24:24And stole Cooper's diary from your room.
24:26And Downey's key to the cipher.
24:28Which means that Seton will try to get into Rockingham again.
24:31And that is why I had Tenney and Bolton lock all the doors and windows, my dear Sherlock Holmes.
24:36And that is why I ordered a detail of police to patrol the grounds, my dear Watson.
24:40Get an ounce of brains you'd leave the doors and windows open.
24:47And let the fellow walk off with a million pounds.
24:50And if I remember my Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson managed to get married.
24:55Which is more than you'll ever do, Hugh Drummond, as long as you keep fooling around with treasure trove and
25:00that villainous diary.
25:02Sit down, Auntie.
25:03Oh, I don't want to sit down.
25:05But, Auntie, we haven't got the diary.
25:07I beg your pardon, sir.
25:09I found it under the window of Professor Downey's room.
25:12Good, Tenney.
25:14See, Phyllis.
25:15Deception.
25:17Collusion.
25:18Hugh, I'm afraid.
25:20That book brought death to Professor Downey.
25:23Please get rid of it, won't you?
25:26All right, darling, I will.
25:28Now.
25:29Tenney.
25:30Yes, Captain Drummond.
25:31The diary.
25:32A match.
25:37A newspaper.
25:39Yes, Captain Drummond.
25:41The Times.
25:42Thank you, sir.
25:43You're welcome.
25:46The Times, sir.
25:47And a fireplace.
25:49I follow you, sir.
25:53You're quite certain, sir?
25:55Fire, Tenney.
25:56Flames.
25:57As you say, sir.
25:59You see?
26:03Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
26:05You're a nice boy.
26:09Come now, dear.
26:11We can sleep.
26:16I see, old boy.
26:17Did she kiss you?
26:19Did she, Angie?
26:20I saw her.
26:22Maybe she did, Angie.
26:24Maybe she did.
26:30Well, there goes a million pounds.
26:33That's love, old boy.
26:34Real love.
26:36Well, maybe it is, Algie.
26:37But somehow, I...
26:38Well, I feel like a quitter.
26:40I beg your pardon, sir.
26:42But if you feel any pangs of regret about burning the diary,
26:46I took the precaution to burn the telephone directory, sir.
26:51Just in case.
26:54Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:55I try to give satisfaction, sir.
26:58You're a veritable treasure, sir.
27:00Treasure, indeed, Tenney.
27:02And with this, we'll find it, eh?
27:04As they say in America, though.
27:06One can't be shot for trying.
27:09You're wrong, Tenney.
27:11Professor Donnie won't.
27:20Well, anything doing?
27:22Nothing irregular.
27:23Nothing but me losing a good night's sleep.
27:25I wish they see Henley Seaton in Halifax, I do.
27:28Yeah, cooperating with Scotland Yard to catch Henry Seaton
27:30might win you a promotion, my boy.
27:32Aye, or a bullet in the back.
27:35Yeah, talk hearty now.
27:36Talk hearty.
27:37Hearty?
27:38Hearty me, aye.
27:40Go on. Carry on.
27:47Okay.
27:48M's the thirteenth letter.
27:50If that weren't transposed, we'd have...
27:53We'd have N.
27:55Halsey, wake up!
27:56Leave me alone.
27:57Leave me alone.
27:58Leave me alone.
27:58Come on, old boy.
27:59You promised to help.
28:00No, no, don't, darling.
28:01Don't.
28:02What?
28:03Oh, it's you, huh?
28:05Oh, then she didn't slap me.
28:07Who didn't?
28:08The girl on the bus.
28:09We were riding down Piccadilly.
28:11And just as I kissed her, you slapped me.
28:14I'm sorry, old boy.
28:16Oh, that's all right.
28:17I'll probably see her again sometime.
28:19Now look, Halsey, I've got the...
28:21Hugh.
28:23I forgot to ask for a telephone number.
28:26Look, Halsey, I've got it.
28:27The first letter, it's N, I think.
28:29First letter in what?
28:31In the alphabet, Halsey, the letter N.
28:33N in the alphabet.
28:35Sonny.
28:36Shut up.
28:37Now here, look at that.
28:39Z, Y, X, W, V, U.
28:43Yeah, it's a reversed alphabet directly above a normal ABC one.
28:48Oh, right, Hal.
28:49A is Z and B is Y.
28:52Right.
28:53Now when I read you a letter, you write down the one directly above it in the reversed alphabet.
28:57Uh, I get it.
28:58I think, yeah.
29:00X.
29:01X.
29:02C.
29:03L.
29:05O.
29:05L.
29:06Go on.
29:10O.
29:12Now that's the first word.
29:13What does it spell?
29:16Coo-coo.
29:18Coo-coo.
29:20Doesn't make sense, does it?
29:22Well, that depends on the point of view, Halsey.
29:26Oh, confound it if we only have Professor Donnie's notes.
29:30Y.
29:32I.
29:33R.
29:34Z.
29:35A.
29:36I.
29:36I.
29:38R.
29:39Y.
29:40D.
29:42R.
29:43I.
29:44O.
29:46L.
30:07A great help you turned out to be.
30:09Mm-hmm.
30:10Three clubs.
30:11I'd give anything for just one.
30:13Doubled.
30:14Doubled.
30:16With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
30:21Fold three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
30:27But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
30:37Y.
30:37R.
30:38A.
30:38R.
30:38A.
30:38B.
30:39I.
30:39L.
30:40L.
30:41I.
30:41B.
30:41R.
30:42A.
30:43R.
30:44Y.
30:46Library.
30:49Library.
31:05A.
31:07No.
31:07One.
31:12Two.
31:14Two.
31:17One.
31:19One.
31:24Number two.
31:27Four.
31:28Two.
31:49Heel!
31:51Heel!
31:52Heel!
31:54Heel!
31:55Heel!
31:58Oh!
31:59Oh, you!
32:00Oh!
32:24Get down, Elsie.
32:27What are you shooting at me for?
32:58He got my mate, sir.
33:00Did you see who it was?
33:01No, sir.
33:02Let's get him inside.
33:05Kenny!
33:05Hurry, now!
33:06Con's ponding.
33:07What's the matter with the lights?
33:08The pews must have been, sir.
33:12It's all right now, son.
33:21What?
33:22Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:27He's done for, sir.
33:28You!
33:33What is it?
33:34It's one of the constables, dear.
33:40I beg your pardon, miss?
33:41Over here, Bolton.
33:42Yes, Mr. Tennyson.
33:44You'd better go to your room, darling.
33:46Yes, and keep Aunt Blanche in hers.
33:48She must have snapped right through it.
33:50Well, that's something to be thankful for.
33:52Al found a feeling that Seton would get him, sir.
33:54Any instructions?
33:54Yes, locate your menace station close around the house.
33:57Very good, sir.
34:00Poor fellow.
34:01It might have been you if Seton had got inside.
34:03But he was inside.
34:05We saw him.
34:06You saw him?
34:08Where?
34:10In this very room, Colonel.
34:11He must have hidden somewhere after he killed Downey.
34:14That explains why the lights went off and why the burglar alarm sounded when he went out.
34:18Confirm it, Algie, if you hadn't made such a racket.
34:20Well, I'm sorry, old boy.
34:21I was only trying to help.
34:22I know, I know.
34:24Well, besides, Seton won't try and get inside again tonight.
34:27How do we know he isn't in now?
34:29We saw him go through those doors.
34:31He had plenty of time to come back while we were outside, Algie.
34:33Oh, Hugh.
34:35You mean he may be hiding in one of those secret passages?
34:38Waiting to pop out and corpse one of us?
34:41It's not unlikely.
34:43He has Downey's key to the cipher, you know.
34:45And we don't know where those passages are.
34:46Not the ones Downey mentioned at any rate.
34:49Tenney, Bolton.
34:50Coming, sir.
34:55We're going over to this house from cellar to attic.
34:57Darling, you better go to your room and lock yourself in and stay there.
35:00Bolton, see Miss Clabbing to her room and stay on guard in the hall.
35:03Very good, sir.
35:03But, Hugh, I'm...
35:04Please do as I say, darling.
35:06All right.
35:10Algie.
35:12Algie, you take this floor and I'll do the cellar.
35:14Tenney, you take the upper floors.
35:16Oh, what am I to do, Hugh?
35:18Colonel, you stay here.
35:19If Seton comes back...
35:20I'll mow him down.
35:21All right, Hugh, I'll carry on.
35:23Bulldog, Drummond, Sacred Police.
35:26Could have gone that way.
35:28I don't think so, sir.
35:29He would have had to pass one of my men I had stationed at the front gate.
35:32And he didn't take the path toward the lodge?
35:34No, sir.
35:35Because that's where I was on duty when it happened.
35:37He could have gone through the flower beds and escaped through the woods.
35:39Not unless he had seven-league boots, Colonel.
35:40That bed's over 20 feet wide.
35:42There's another footprint on it.
35:43And had he gone that way...
35:45He would have met us.
35:45Which he did not.
35:47We can't let him get away with this, Colonel.
35:48Well, he's made a fair job of it so far.
35:51May I get up now, sir?
35:52Oh, yes, Tinney.
35:55Well, that gives us a pretty fair idea of what took place here last night.
35:58Except how he got away.
36:00Yes, Elsie.
36:01Except how he got away.
36:02And if he didn't go that way, and if he didn't go that way...
36:05Or that way.
36:05Then which way did he go?
36:07Up, sir.
36:09Up?
36:10Yes, Elsie.
36:11Up!
36:12The ivy!
36:13Huh?
36:19Look, Colonel.
36:19He's up the trail of broken ivy.
36:20He's plain as day.
36:21Now, would you believe he's somewhere in the house?
36:23In the passages, Colonel.
36:24And when we open the entrance to the ones I'm familiar with...
36:26We'll try to find the entrance to the ones he's familiar with.
36:28Right.
36:29Have you ordered the men from the village, Tinney?
36:30They started to open the wall in the storeroom an hour ago, sir.
36:33Good.
36:34Now we'll see if Seton went through the window or made it to the roof.
36:36Well, careful, Hugh.
36:37Right.
36:37See you in the third floor, sir.
36:39Right, Tinney?
36:40Wedding festivities, indeed.
36:42This place is a museum of horrors.
36:44Not just one murder, but two.
36:46Two murders in one night.
36:48There, there, Auntie.
36:49It's all over now.
36:52What's that?
36:53What is it?
36:54Help!
36:55Help!
36:59Sorry, darling.
37:00I thought you were downstairs having breakfast.
37:02Hugh Drummond, what are you doing?
37:04Peering in my window.
37:06Now, perhaps you realize the kind of man you're marrying?
37:08Please, Aunt Blanche, let me explain.
37:09I'm following Seton.
37:11Yes, climbing up walls like a bat.
37:13Well, that's how we got away.
37:14Up the ivy to one of the rooms above this, I think.
37:16I'm through.
37:18I've had enough.
37:19I'm taking the next train back to town, and so are you.
37:21But, Auntie, we're going to be married at noon.
37:23Well, I could be done to death 20 times before then.
37:26Oh, Aunt Blanche.
37:27I'm not your aunt.
37:29I wouldn't be your aunt if an act of parliament decreed it.
37:32But you're Phyllis's aunt, and you can't desert her like this.
37:34Oh, can't I?
37:36I suppose you'll stop me, you...
37:38You...
37:39You fine climbing Dracula!
37:44You better go.
37:46I'll talk to her.
37:47All right.
37:49No, not that way.
37:51Down.
37:52Anything for you, darling?
37:54Ah!
37:57Ah!
38:06Phew!
38:07Don't worry, darling.
38:08It's much the easiest way to come down.
38:11Captain Drummond!
38:12Yes, Denny?
38:13There's no trace of him in this room, sir.
38:15Well, try the next one, then.
38:17That'll be Bolton's room, sir.
38:18Well, go over and see if the vines are torn over there on the right.
38:20Very good, sir.
38:25Bolton!
38:27Bolton!
38:33Bolton!
38:34Denny!
38:37Denny!
38:39That's odd he doesn't answer.
38:41Let's go up.
38:42Captain Drummond!
38:43What is it, Sergeant?
38:44Foul play, sir.
38:45One of my men found a body in clear wood.
38:47What, another one?
38:48Yes, sir.
38:48And we're hoping that you can identify him.
38:50What makes you think that?
38:51Because, sir, he was coming here.
38:52Here?
38:53Open season at Rockingham.
38:55The stationmaster identified him as a passenger on the 215 yesterday.
38:58He asked the way to the tower, sir.
39:00What'd he look like?
39:01Well, sir, he, uh...
39:03He was a...
39:03He was a man about 40.
39:05Of medium height.
39:06Said he was your new butler, sir.
39:08Bolton!
39:09I've got it.
39:11Bolton started for Rockingham.
39:12It was Seton who arrived.
39:13Right.
39:14He must have met Bolton on the train and...
39:15I say, Hugh, what's happened to Tenny?
39:17Tenny!
39:18We're wasting time.
39:20Sergeant, let no one leave the house.
39:22Right, Sergeant.
39:37Here, Alzi.
39:38What?
39:38Up there.
39:40Did you get my hot water bottle for this?
39:46What?
39:46Bolton.
39:47What are you doing in my room?
39:53Tenny!
39:55Tenny!
39:59Oh?
40:00He doesn't seem to be in...
40:02In the water bottle.
40:05Where is everyone, Bolton?
40:07In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering.
40:08Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
40:10Oh, thank you.
40:11Captain Drummond.
40:12Take it easy, old boy.
40:13What happened?
40:14What did you see?
40:16Stars, sir.
40:19Auntie.
40:24Auntie!
40:25It was Bolton, sir.
40:27Yes, we know, Tenny.
40:28We know.
40:37Hugh!
40:38Hugh!
40:39Hugh, where are you?
40:40Hugh!
41:07What on earth are you doing?
41:09Captain Drummond must have found the entrance to the entrance to the entrance to the entrance to the entrance to
41:10the entrance.
41:10And the entrance to the entrance to the entrance.
41:11Yes, I can see.
41:12But I thought the entrance was up.
41:14Phyllis?
41:23She must be with Seaton.
41:24But where?
41:26That's what we've got to find out, Algy.
41:27See if the men have opened the wall in the storeroom.
41:30Colonel, I'm sure that screen came from here.
41:31There must be an entrance somewhere.
41:40Hey!
41:40Those old blighters didn't half wall up the entrance to these here passages.
41:44They didn't.
41:44Wait a minute!
41:45I'm the old blighter that walled it up 20 years ago!
41:53Blimey, what's he doing?
41:55Making a bomb, young fellow, my lad.
41:59Bottle, fuse, and gunpowder.
42:02It'll blow open the entrance to that passage in no time at all.
42:11Won't it damage the house, sir?
42:13Not a chance, or no.
42:14I learned all about this sort of thing during the war.
42:16Pardon me, sir.
42:17We are both needed in the labor arrays, sir.
42:19Right-ho.
42:19I'll toddle along.
42:33Oh, confound it, Colonel.
42:34These panels are like the rock at Gibraltar, all of them.
42:36This code isn't solving either.
42:38Well, what do you expect?
42:39It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:40You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:41Now, now, don't get the wind up, Hugh.
42:43Colonel Phyllis!
42:45Alty!
42:46Teddy!
42:46Right here, old boy.
42:47Hey, sir.
42:49Good work, Teddy.
42:50Get busy, all of you.
42:51Yeah, but I say, Hugh, I've never used one of these things.
42:53It's just like a corkscrew, Alty.
42:55Oh, I know how to do that.
43:10Well, I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:13These passengers are like catacombs.
43:15May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:18I don't know.
43:19You know, something I haven't counted on.
43:22You know just how you're going to get out of here.
43:25Oh, the way we came in.
43:28I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the library.
43:32They know the entrance is there.
43:34Do they?
43:35We heard them.
43:37So they must have heard me when I screamed.
43:40Oh, you're a smart girl.
43:42I love her.
43:54The Tower of Waters.
44:04Now I know how I'm going to get out of here.
44:07To where?
44:08Perhaps.
44:09Don't shoot the library with you as my ticket.
44:12So don't try to get away again.
44:13I wouldn't like it.
44:27Chamber of the Spikes.
44:37It's worth a hundred quid if it's worth a penny.
44:40Here, put it on.
44:41No!
44:42Not good enough for a ladyship, I suppose.
44:45Ah, I've got it, sir.
44:46Huh?
44:46Good work, Sissy.
44:50Seems just like the others.
44:52Got a draft here, Colonel.
44:54You!
44:55Good work, Alty.
44:56Stand quick, Sissy.
45:00Alty.
45:01Huh?
45:02Will you please get out of the way?
45:04Oh!
45:05Yes!
45:08Oh!
45:09Yes!
45:09Yes!
45:10Yes!
45:12Yes!

45:41You!
45:41Yes!
45:43Oh!
45:46Oh!
45:48Yes!
45:50Yes!
45:50This place can tell some pretty tales, eh?
46:05Clever.
46:35With Lodge and Brockingham in line, a stone is found.
46:44Pull three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
47:04Phyllis! Phyllis!
47:16Phyllis!
47:18Phyllis!
47:23Phyllis!
47:24Phyllis!
47:26Well, what's my little gold piece?
47:36The Roundheads never knew what became of the King's duels after the Battle of Naceby.
47:41Here.
47:45You little fool.
47:46I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:50Phyllis!
47:51Phyllis!
48:09Phyllis!
48:12Oh, like sardines in a tin, birds in a keet, with them all appropriate self.
48:24Pardon me, sir, but we are in your spotted trouble.
48:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
49:23Let's go.
49:50Let's go.
50:21Let's go.
50:38Don't fire me at Phyllis.
50:40That's right, Drummond.
50:41Let me talk to him.
50:42Satan.
50:43Yes, Colonel?
50:44Let Miss Clowering come down to us and we'll give you a fair chance to get away.
50:48Throw out your pistols.
50:49Oh, I say, we can't do that.
50:51I'll count five.
50:53One.
50:53Don't do it, Hugh.
50:54He'll kill you.
50:55Two.
50:56Here they come.
51:03Pardon me, sir.
51:04The reserve.
51:09Good work, Tenny.
51:11Come out, all of you.
51:15You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:18They promised to let you go.
51:19You must see to that.
51:20First, we'll have Captain Drummond.
51:22You!
51:40Come on.
51:43Hey!
51:46Hey!
51:47Hey!
51:48Oh, my God.
52:26Ah, Captain Drummond, Miss Clavering.
52:29Places, everyone.
52:30Rehearsal.
52:30Right over here, please.
52:32Facing me.
52:33And, Captain, you will be on Miss Clavering's right.
52:36Oh, yes, of course.
52:38Just a little bit closer, if you please, yes.
52:40And, Colonel, you will be on Miss Clavering's left.
52:43Oh, splendid.
52:44And, Mr. Longworth, you will right here.
52:47Oh, Captain Drummond's right.
52:48That's right.
52:49Well, how splendid.
52:50Now, supposing we run through it.
52:52All you have to do is to keep calm.
52:55Now, let me see.
52:56Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...
53:05I say, Hugh, are you there?
53:12Where's Phyllis?
53:14Chin up, old boy.
53:15She's gone.
53:17Gone where?
53:18She and her aunt have departed for Africa, sir.
53:23Africa?
53:24Yes, to hunt lions.
53:27She said it would be safer, sir.
53:30I don't agree!
53:32Where does it go?
53:32Here!
53:32Yeah!
53:47There!
53:53I'm here!
53:55There!
53:55There!
53:55There!
53:55There!
53:56There!
53:59There!
54:08THE END
