00:02THE END
00:48Come on, let's go to blow.
01:17Come on, let's go.
01:34This is the bag Rita left in the truck.
01:42Hmm, usual paraphernalia.
01:50Hmm, a radio log.
01:54Look, someone has checked that piano concert.
01:57That's right.
01:58This program was broadcast yesterday.
02:01I wonder why it's marked.
02:03Well, Belmont's a musician.
02:05That's reason enough.
02:06Not for me.
02:07Jim Belmont has a motive for everything he does.
02:11P-A-G.
02:15It's a Kansas station.
02:17We'll wire them for a transcription of the program and have them send it by air mail.
02:22He'll give us a clue to Belmont's next move.
02:28So now you understand, my dear, that it was necessary for me to hear the broadcast yesterday in order to
02:34learn when this pianist Carlotti would arrive in this city.
02:37Yes, I understand.
02:39Carlotti is coming here to play the accompaniments for this high-brow fiddler Morello at a concert.
02:43And you want to steal Morello's fiddle.
02:46Not just a fiddle, my dear.
02:48His Stradivarius violin.
02:50It may interest you to know that the instrument is valued at more than $100,000.
02:55Whew!
02:56A hundred grand!
02:57Oh, some fiddle.
02:59How are you going to get it?
03:01That is where Signor Carlotti will help us.
03:03With his assistance, I should have no difficulty whatsoever.
03:11You have just heard the final number of Signor Roberto Carlotti's farewell program over this station.
03:17This world-renowned artist leaves tonight for a concert engagement on the west coast,
03:22where he will present a joint recital with Giuseppe Morello, internationally famous violinist.
03:30So, Mr. Carlotti's a good pianist.
03:34Exactly where does that lead us?
03:36It convinces me that Jim Belmont is interested in his movements.
03:40But why?
03:41I don't know.
03:43But I intend to find out in a hurry.
03:46Call the depot, find out what time the train arrives, and meet him.
03:50In the meantime, I'll get all the information I can about Carlotti.
03:53That's a new one on me. Chaperone to pianist.
04:04I am honored by your presence, Signor Carlotti.
04:07What is this outrage? What do you want? Who are you?
04:11You may call me Caldwell. Charles Caldwell.
04:14Signor Carlotti, I'm going to substitute for you as Morello's accompanist at the concert tonight.
04:18Impossible. You're mad. No one can substitute for me.
04:22I will have no part of your devilish schemes.
04:26You are to telephone Morello that you're obliged to leave the city at once because of a sudden death in
04:31your family.
04:32You are to say that you are sending your friend, Charles Caldwell, for an audition.
04:36No, I will not.
04:38Oh, I see it all now.
04:41You intend to do some harm to Morello, huh? I'll refuse.
04:45And if you refuse, we will smash those highly trained fingers of yours, one by one.
04:52No!
04:52Morton.
04:54Yes, sir.
04:56I consent. What do you want me to say?
05:03Your speech to Morello is already prepared. Study it carefully. There must be no mistake.
05:17Hello?
05:19Yes, Joyce. What news?
05:21Bad news, I'm afraid.
05:22Two men boarded the train at the east side station and persuaded Kalahi to get off there with them.
05:27Did you get a description of the men?
05:29Not in any detail. I talked to the Pullman conductor, and from the way he described him, one of the
05:33men could have been Feral.
05:35And probably was.
05:37Anyway, we do know that Carlotti is supposed to play their accompaniment for Morello, the violinist, at a concert tonight.
05:43You'd better return here immediately, and we'll go to see Morello at his hotel.
05:49Signor Morello?
05:51Yes?
05:54I'm Professor Caldwell.
05:56Yes.
05:57My friend Carlotti telephoned that you would come.
06:01I trust that I shall be able to take his place as your accompanist.
06:04I hope so.
06:05Although I doubt it.
06:08However, it will take but a moment to determine.
06:36Excellent.
06:37Your technique is excellent, my friend.
06:40We must rehearse at once.
06:43I'll get my violin.
06:45You know, it's a Stradivarius.
06:47So naturally, I keep it under lock and key and allow no one to touch it but myself.
07:05Ah, is she not beautiful?
07:11Ah, but when you hear her voice...
07:16Magnificent.
07:18I almost regret having to deprive you of it.
07:21What?
07:23You dare?
07:25Keep quiet or you won't live.
07:27Come in, Farrell.
07:32Well, you got it all right.
07:33Of course.
07:34That's what I came after.
07:36Tie him up.
07:44Wait here.
07:54Well, that's that.
07:57Blake.
07:59Put that violin down, Belmont.
08:01You won't need it where you're going.
08:07Are you suggesting that a harp would be more appropriate?
08:11It will be if you don't drop that gun.
08:15Now move over against that wall.
08:30Let's go.
08:46Let's go.
08:51Let's go.
09:20Let's go.
09:21Let's go.
09:25Let's go.
09:36Let's go.
09:39Let's go.
10:06Pull out, quick.
10:23He's coming.
10:25He's coming.
10:41They're gaining. Did you notify Gorman to stand by?
10:45Yes, he'll be at the intersection of Acton Road.
10:51Calling Gorman. B1, calling Gorman.
10:56Gorman speaking.
10:57I can't switch cars as I had planned.
11:00Blake is right behind us.
11:02Get set to run him off the road.
11:05Okay, Chief. I'll stop him.
11:13Take my gun and see if you can nick one of their tires when we get within range.
11:42Let's go.
11:43Let's go.
12:00I'm sorry.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:03Look at him.
12:06Oh, my God.
