00:05:21THE END
00:05:40I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie.
00:05:42But you never stay long enough.
00:05:43Only come to say goodbye.
00:05:45Government work keep me hopping like this satisfied flea from dog to dog.
00:05:49Even now, automobile and assistance outside loaded for a trip to a distant city.
00:05:56Uh, automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:05:59Tony, Dad's final appeal has been denied.
00:06:02Why didn't you tell me?
00:06:03Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers?
00:06:05June, dear, I phoned you several times.
00:06:06You were out.
00:06:07Well, we've got to keep trying.
00:06:09June, I know the strain you're under, but breaking down won't help.
00:06:13Dad has only nine days to live.
00:06:15You know that he's innocent.
00:06:16I've always believed that.
00:06:17Or as public defender, I'd never have carried the case so far.
00:06:20If Dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man.
00:06:23The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:26June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan.
00:06:29Miss Harley.
00:06:30Miss Harley, oh, I followed Thomas Harley's case all through trial.
00:06:33What did you think of the case against Mr. Harley?
00:06:35The case seemed quite perfect.
00:06:36Almost too perfect.
00:06:37Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says.
00:06:39June, dear.
00:06:40We have only a few days left.
00:06:41We've got to do something.
00:06:42Where can I get a good private detective?
00:06:44Well, that idea's useless.
00:06:45Tony, if you won't give me the name of a detective, I'll find one myself.
00:06:48But, June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:49My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help.
00:06:52It was no use.
00:06:54I'm sorry than you'll ever know to have to say it, but there's nothing we can do.
00:06:58One thing can be done.
00:07:00What's that, Charlie?
00:07:01Give young lady the name of detective.
00:07:03Who would you suggest?
00:07:04Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend.
00:07:07Call on detective tonight.
00:07:08Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state?
00:07:12Ancient proverbs say, one small wind can raise much dust.
00:07:16Excuse me, please.
00:07:18What name did he give you?
00:07:20Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance.
00:07:22Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:41All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:42Tired of the toothpaste and the tooth.
00:07:44We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:45Excellent, excellent.
00:07:47It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:50Thanks, Pop.
00:07:51Car okay?
00:07:51Oh, yes, all oil and grease.
00:07:53Yes, and the tank's full of gas.
00:07:55Good.
00:07:55Now we will go back to the hotel.
00:07:58What for?
00:07:59To unpack baggage.
00:08:02I will sit in the car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:07Now, ain't that stuff.
00:08:11After we packed the bags, better than we ever packed them before.
00:08:14Now, that's what your Pop said.
00:08:16Yep.
00:08:16Then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:18It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:20You know what it told me?
00:08:21I got a headache.
00:08:22A headache?
00:08:23Mm-hmm.
00:08:24I don't know where I got it, but I got one.
00:08:25Always sitting.
00:08:28Wish you would wear our brains instead of cedar pants.
00:08:31Pop, we have been thinking.
00:08:32Most impossible.
00:08:33Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Chan.
00:08:34We've been thinking.
00:08:35And now you have a headache.
00:08:39Hey, how did he know that?
00:08:41Now, in a case like this, what would confusion say?
00:08:45It's not confusion.
00:08:46It's Confucius.
00:08:47Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me.
00:08:51Hey, you hear that one brain knocking?
00:08:54That's you.
00:08:54That's the door.
00:08:55Uh-oh, that's me.
00:09:00Mr. Chan.
00:09:01Right over that one, ma'am.
00:09:02Thanks.
00:09:08Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:09Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:12I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:13Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful.
00:09:17Mr.
00:09:18Oh, this is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:09:20I phoned him with the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:23I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison.
00:09:25I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:29I wanted Hugh to tell Dad.
00:09:31Mr. Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:34I'm detective, not magician.
00:09:36You must not expect too much on short notice.
00:09:39But we have only nine days.
00:09:41Honorable Grandmother always say, do not think of future.
00:09:45It come too soon.
00:09:47Police report on Harley's case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:51You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:53Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:55But where?
00:09:56Place where you live.
00:09:58Why look there?
00:09:59Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:01He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:04Tooth is missing, but gap remained.
00:10:06From gap we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:12We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:19Sitting assistants, you will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:24Okay, Pop.
00:10:25Boy, a murder case.
00:10:26Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:27Hurry?
00:10:28Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:31Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:33I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:35Every time they start, they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:39Joe, that's all I know.
00:10:41Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:46Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:49Ugliest trade sometimes have moments of joy.
00:10:52Even gravedigger knows some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:10:58I'm sorry I said that.
00:10:59It just slipped out.
00:11:01Many such slips might solve mystery.
00:11:03Please continue.
00:11:04That's all I have to say.
00:11:07That's what women always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:11You are a social worker?
00:11:13Yes.
00:11:15You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict, hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:20Often.
00:11:21What's wrong with that?
00:11:22Nothing.
00:11:23Very fine civic duty.
00:11:25Mr. Harley lived in this house for 15 years.
00:11:28So, you must have known he was ex-convict when he first entered this house.
00:11:33I did.
00:11:34I tried to help him.
00:11:35You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:38He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:42After, he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:44Fifteen years after.
00:11:47What about note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary Theatrical Warehouse?
00:11:54Same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:11:57It was, but Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:02Even so, you could have written note before crime occurred.
00:12:05So could anyone else in this house.
00:12:09Thank you so much.
00:12:11Mr. Kinsey, you would please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:15You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:18No, I have not.
00:12:26You work for a social foundation, Miss Patriot?
00:12:31Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:33Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary Theatrical Warehouse was written by someone who was
00:12:41excellent typist.
00:12:42Oh, go on, leave her alone, mister.
00:12:44She uses a seek and sock system.
00:12:46I've seen her practicing.
00:12:47On Mrs. Foss's typewriter?
00:12:50You make much money as typist?
00:12:52No?
00:12:53Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:12:56Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:06Mr. Johnson, you are a public accountant?
00:13:09Yes.
00:13:10You have owned business?
00:13:12Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:16One of your business firms is Cary Theatrical Warehouse?
00:13:21But the police knew that.
00:13:22They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place, I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:30Now, Mr. Danvers, you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:40You had me worried for a minute, but you're right.
00:13:42I was in both cities, often.
00:13:44You also visit banks which were robbed, including Citizens State Bank here.
00:13:49I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:53The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:13:55Now, you sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks.
00:14:00Yes, sir.
00:14:00It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:03With your knowledge of banks, could you not be a very great assistance to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:10Now, wait a minute.
00:14:11If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:13Merely suggest what you could do, if dishonest.
00:14:19Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:22Listen, I buy my own clothes.
00:14:24Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:26Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat, I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:31During an investigation of Cary Warehouse, a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:37Huh?
00:14:37A dress of mine?
00:14:38A very small dress, consisting of few feathers.
00:14:42Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:45Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:49But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:51I wore that costume in frivolous folly.
00:14:54But the show finally flopped.
00:14:56Cary's must have bought the props, scenery, and all the costumes for junk.
00:14:59But your show play Cities of Lamont and Rawdon.
00:15:02At the same time, banks were robbed there.
00:15:05In identical manner.
00:15:07Which Citizens State Bank robbed here.
00:15:09Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:11No, merely that moment, trying to figure how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:18Oh, very cute.
00:15:20That will be sufficient for present.
00:15:22All may go now.
00:15:29Did you learn anything that will help, Mr. Chan?
00:15:31No, tomorrow we'll visit prison and interview your father.
00:15:35Tell him not to worry and tell him we're doing everything.
00:15:37I said all may go, which include you, Miss Evans.
00:15:41I heard you the first time.
00:15:44Are you going to leave now, Mr. Chan?
00:15:53Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:15:57This is my house, and I'll do as I like.
00:16:01Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help, I'll get a leave of absence from my job and come
00:16:05down here.
00:16:05Oh, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:07Miss Harley is right.
00:16:08You return to job.
00:16:09I send for you when I need you.
00:16:11Mr. Chan, I'm scared.
00:16:13We only have nine days.
00:16:14Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:15Excellent advice.
00:16:17Remember old saying, earthquake may shatter the rock, but sand upon which rock stood, still right there in the same
00:16:24old place.
00:16:24You relax, and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:33Mr. Chan, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:36No, shortest way is commit crime.
00:16:39Well, I'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:41What am I saying?
00:16:43You surprise yourself.
00:16:45Usually, you surprise me.
00:16:54Did you see that bee come through here with that jet job motor?
00:16:59Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:00Where's Birmingham?
00:17:01The car's going by itself.
00:17:02No, it ain't.
00:17:02I was steering by remote control.
00:17:04Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:05The only persons who know we come this way are people living at Foss Hotel.
00:17:09This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:36I'm all for glad to see you, Charlie, but I think, uh, as old friend warden come around, you think
00:17:41what?
00:17:42You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:44I mean, you haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:47But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:49What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:17:52Oh, I know how you feel, but I still think you're being foolish.
00:17:55Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:17:58Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:01Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:05Oh, this is guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:07Oh, I have already met, Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:09Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:10I should get resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:14Well, sit in.
00:18:16Sit again.
00:18:18Remain where you are.
00:18:20Oh, warden.
00:18:23Mr. Barker wanted the print files on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:27Oh, yes.
00:18:27In my office.
00:18:28Go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:30One moment.
00:18:31I have seen you before.
00:18:33I don't know.
00:18:34But I've seen you.
00:18:35You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:37And you are...
00:18:37Number 8251.
00:18:41He's Jimmy Slade, a forger.
00:18:43He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:47Did you see that man get popped the eye?
00:18:48You mean a tough guy?
00:18:50Yeah.
00:18:50Oh, you mean the convict?
00:18:51Mm-hmm.
00:18:52No.
00:18:53Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:18:54Well, look at old Bishop.
00:18:58What do you say, boy?
00:18:59Not much, man.
00:19:00It's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:02Yeah, but this face ain't staying.
00:19:04Neither is mine.
00:19:09Mr. Chan, to see you, Mr. Harley.
00:19:14I've been waiting to see you, Mr. Chan.
00:19:15Sorry to see you, dear, Mr. Harley, but great pleasure to meet you anywhere.
00:19:20I don't know what I'm going to say.
00:19:22Please, sit down.
00:19:24Yeah!
00:19:25Birmingham, you're always late, even coming to see me.
00:19:28Don't you ever do anything on time?
00:19:29Sure, I bought a car once.
00:19:31How?
00:19:31On time.
00:19:32You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:34What?
00:19:34I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:35No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:37No.
00:19:38Why, no.
00:19:38Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:39Not that bad.
00:19:41The lady at the beauty parlor said that she was going to...
00:19:42They can't recap them wrinkles.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45Now, what they should do is...
00:19:47They did.
00:19:47And while we was over there, do you know what...
00:19:50I know, I know.
00:19:51Now, look.
00:19:52Is that the same gal...
00:19:53No, she don't weigh that much now.
00:19:55No.
00:19:55No, all she weighs now is...
00:19:57That's still too heavy.
00:19:58Why don't you get her to go on the same diet my gal used?
00:20:02Get her to take two...
00:20:03Oh, they don't make that stuff anymore.
00:20:04No?
00:20:05No.
00:20:05Now, what I want to give her is some...
00:20:07They'll give her hay fever.
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:09Why, sure.
00:20:10Listen.
00:20:11Hmm?
00:20:11In that case, why don't you take her over to...
00:20:13I did.
00:20:14And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:16Who?
00:20:16I saw...
00:20:17Is he still out there?
00:20:18Yeah.
00:20:18I thought he was...
00:20:19He was, but he got out.
00:20:20Is that so?
00:20:21Yeah.
00:20:22He's staying over with Mr...
00:20:24Is that so?
00:20:25Mm-hmm.
00:20:25They must be charged.
00:20:26No, not that much.
00:20:27No?
00:20:28No, all he's paying is...
00:20:29That's a fair price.
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:32Well, look at you.
00:20:33I got to go down.
00:20:34I'll be over to see you.
00:20:34I'll be working then.
00:20:35Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:36I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:37Okay, sure.
00:20:37Look me up now.
00:20:38I'll do that.
00:20:38Okay.
00:20:40Who is that man?
00:20:41Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:44That's my brother, Ben.
00:20:45Oh, you're...
00:20:48Your wife died while you were in prison 20 years ago?
00:20:52When June was born.
00:20:54I never told June because I...
00:20:56I meant to go straight.
00:20:58And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:20:59But your fingerprints found in Bank Vault.
00:21:02Yes, I know.
00:21:03I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:06They were my prints, but...
00:21:07I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:12You don't believe me.
00:21:14Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:19Never believe nightmare, no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:23When you're here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:29Yes, he was.
00:21:31Where did he go, Mr. Chan?
00:21:32Yes, please.
00:21:33Don't you worry, Mr. Arley.
00:21:35Mr. Chan, do you think there's any hope?
00:21:38There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:42But if someone else committed a crime, then, Mr. Chan...
00:21:46What are you going to do?
00:21:48At the moment, I'm like man trying to set clock by guess.
00:21:52And as time does not stand still, perhaps better not stand still myself.
00:21:59Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
00:22:01When he says, now let's turn to one corner and you says another.
00:22:05I don't...
00:22:06I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:08I don't know, let's follow it and see.
00:22:10No, we better not.
00:22:12Hey, Punchy.
00:22:13You know what I heard true to grapevine?
00:22:15Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:17Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:19You know what I'm going to do when I see that Chan?
00:22:23Did you hear what the man said about Pop?
00:22:25I ain't there.
00:22:25I think we better follow them.
00:22:27What did you say just a while ago when I said let's follow them?
00:22:29Come on.
00:22:29No, that ain't what you said.
00:22:32Watch this way, man.
00:22:41They went in here.
00:22:42Come on.
00:22:43Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:44Look, you heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:46We've got to find out what they're up to.
00:22:47Okay, okay.
00:22:53There they are.
00:22:53See them?
00:22:54Yeah.
00:23:08The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:10Maybe we better hide to keep them from falling on us.
00:23:13We'll sneak up on them.
00:23:14There you go.
00:23:15We'll sneak up again, Punchy.
00:23:17How many times do I got to tell you?
00:23:19That ain't the way to do it.
00:23:20You slash once when you want to finish something.
00:23:23Now, do you want to know how to do it?
00:23:25Don't interrupt.
00:23:26You take the stab like this.
00:23:29Once the job is done, and it's neat.
00:23:34Do you hear me, Punchy?
00:23:35That's the way you do it in one slash.
00:23:41They are planning a murder.
00:23:42We've got to find out who's going to kill them.
00:23:43We're going to find out.
00:23:45You're going to find out.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:47Wait a minute.
00:23:56Hurry.
00:23:59Good bitch.
00:24:00They're going to knock off.
00:24:05They're still coming.
00:24:06They're right behind us.
00:24:06Yeah, they're in that crowd.
00:24:07We can't see them.
00:24:08Let's go.
00:24:11The gang is from all sides.
00:24:18Look, yeah, they're coming now.
00:24:20Do you see them?
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:21No, let's go this way.
00:24:22Down the hall.
00:24:22Come on.
00:24:23Let's go.
00:24:24Oh, please.
00:24:25Get out of here.
00:24:26Get to come up here.
00:24:27Good.
00:24:38Boilers.
00:24:39You better count your money.
00:24:40Don't be always interrupted, Punchy.
00:24:42Count it.
00:24:42Come on, you guys.
00:24:44Come on.
00:24:45Are you two guys following me?
00:24:47No, sir.
00:24:47We got you up first, but you can have it.
00:24:49Listen, mister.
00:24:49It's all a mistake.
00:24:50Why do you mean a mistake?
00:24:51I'm not kidding.
00:24:52Hey, look at you.
00:24:52Tell him that this door is locked.
00:24:53Locked?
00:24:54Hey, how can we get out of here?
00:24:55Hey, fellas.
00:24:56There's a visitor here, and he wants to know how he can get out.
00:25:00This isn't that funny, Mr. Chance.
00:25:03Hey, Paul.
00:25:03Mr. Chance.
00:25:04Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:06Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:08No.
00:25:09After talk with Mr. Harley, I'm convinced the man is innocent.
00:25:12But, Charlie, the law doesn't frame men.
00:25:15Accidents can happen if planned that way.
00:25:18But Harley's fingerprints were found in the bank.
00:25:21My theory is fingerprints were forged and placed at sea.
00:25:25I've seen a crime.
00:25:25Oh, no, Charlie.
00:25:26That's impossible.
00:25:27Nothing is impossible.
00:25:29Forgery is only solution.
00:25:32Must find out how same is done before too late for Mr. Harley.
00:25:37Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:44Karen, what's up?
00:25:45The riot.
00:25:46What started the rioting?
00:25:48Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:25:53What strangers?
00:25:55Mr. Chance.
00:25:56Mr. Chance.
00:26:07Oh, that's good.
00:26:08Mr. Chance.
00:26:11Quiet now.
00:26:12Come on.
00:26:15Quiet now.
00:26:16Quiet now.
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:17Quiet now.
00:26:18Come on.
00:26:18Quiet now.
00:26:19Right this way, Warden.
00:26:26He wants to get out.
00:26:28No feet, Arthur.
00:26:29Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:31Who's that, Mr. Chance?
00:26:32Yep.
00:26:33So, even in prison, you've caused trouble.
00:26:35But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:37Mr. Chance, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:39First time I hear cuckoos outside of clock.
00:26:42But, Pop, we heard them talking about you.
00:26:43Oh, Charlie, I heard you was here.
00:26:44When I saw you, I wanted to shake your hand.
00:26:47Mr. Foggy, why, very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:50Thanks.
00:26:50I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:26:52Oh, sure.
00:26:53He put me in here.
00:26:54It took one of the greatest detectives in the world to do it.
00:26:56Oh, Mr. Chance, I want you to meet me pal Punchy.
00:26:59Mr. Chance, this is undoubtedly the most supreme moment of my entire life.
00:27:05I stand here...
00:27:07Hey, Mr. Punchy, you said...
00:27:09Don't interrupt.
00:27:10Thank you, Mr. Chance.
00:27:11What are we going to do now, Pop?
00:27:13You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:18What kind of garments is that?
00:27:19Straightjackets.
00:27:20That did it.
00:27:22Punchy, you've been going in for illiterature.
00:27:29The old Mr. Thompson in this department has been most kind and helpful.
00:27:33I'm glad, Charlie.
00:27:34We're proud of our staff.
00:27:43Hello.
00:27:44How are you coming to the experiment so far, Mr. Thompson?
00:27:47No luck yet, Mr. Chance.
00:27:49I was afraid it couldn't be done.
00:27:51Well, the forging of fingerprints has been tried before, but it's never worked.
00:27:54However, Mr. Chance's theory of how it might be done has possibilities.
00:27:58I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:05Same thing.
00:28:06No distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:07No oil.
00:28:08That's right, sir.
00:28:09What do you mean, oil?
00:28:10There is always natural oil in hands.
00:28:13And that oil is what causes the fingerprint to remain after the hand touches the surface.
00:28:17I tried using regular fingerprint ink, but the lack of oil caused the blurring of the ink.
00:28:21No one would take that for a fingerprint.
00:28:23Perhaps if we obtain oil more like natural oil.
00:28:26Well, I tried using a thin mixture of olive oil, but the oil ran and smeared, and the result was
00:28:31no fingerprints.
00:28:32Looks like we're up against a stone wall, Charlie.
00:28:34I don't promise anything, but I'm going to keep on trying.
00:28:37No man can do more.
00:28:39I have more work to do yet in your department.
00:28:42Afraid it's no use, Charlie, but what do you want done?
00:28:44Please help police quietly check back 10 to 15 years on all persons now living at Hoss Hotel.
00:28:51Okay, but why?
00:28:52Why? Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:00I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:02You mean you are. You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:04Sure I do. It's something that the police wear.
00:29:06Are you kidding?
00:29:08But, Tommy!
00:29:09This is the last one, Pop.
00:29:11No more.
00:29:12Today's the 14th, and Harley's scheduled to die at the 17th.
00:29:15What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:16Police reports show three banks robbed in past two years.
00:29:21Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:24Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on Family Tree.
00:29:27Woodpecker? I've got to remember that.
00:29:30Rodden bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:35Lamont bank robbed, man named Stephen Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:39Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:41And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:44And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:45Also, curious coincidence is,
00:29:48each man arrested in each case swear
00:29:52he leave no fingerprints in bank
00:29:54because he never there.
00:29:56Do you think Harley was in with a gang, Pop?
00:29:58Oh, he finished school, now he tried to finish me.
00:30:02But, Pop!
00:30:03Mmm, mocho!
00:30:05Also, in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:09Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:11Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:14It is only prison where all three men serve time.
00:30:18Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:19Yes.
00:30:20But let me make suggestion first.
00:30:23Keep quiet!
00:30:24Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:25But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:28That is idea.
00:30:30Very good idea.
00:30:31I believe there is some connection
00:30:33between bank robberies, fingerprints,
00:30:37and the state's prison.
00:30:38What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:41Oh, for time I nursed theory.
00:30:44Very excellent theory.
00:30:46But now, instead of nurse,
00:30:48I fear theory needs undertaker.
00:30:54Oh, for you, Charlie.
00:30:55Oh.
00:30:56Charlie Chan speaking.
00:30:58We have that information you asked for.
00:31:00Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:01Yes, go ahead.
00:31:02Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade,
00:31:05a convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau
00:31:08at the state prison.
00:31:10She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:14Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived,
00:31:17and theory now very healthy again.
00:31:22Let's see.
00:31:24Another thing, Miss Petrie,
00:31:25why you lie about clothes?
00:31:27I didn't.
00:31:27They were given to me.
00:31:28I learned different.
00:31:30Where you obtain money to buy fine garments?
00:31:33I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:34Please, where you get money?
00:31:36Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:39I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:41You will talk at police headquarters,
00:31:43get your hat and coat.
00:31:44Miss Holly, you go with her.
00:31:49You think she's mixed up in this?
00:31:51We soon find out.
00:31:54Mrs. Sposs, why are you lying
00:31:56when I ask you if any other convicts live in this house?
00:31:59I didn't.
00:31:59Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:01You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:03When young lady bear title Miss,
00:32:06she usually have no husband to be mentioned.
00:32:10I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:12and she's timid and shy.
00:32:14That's June.
00:32:24What happened?
00:32:26Someone choked me.
00:32:27Miss Petrie?
00:32:28I don't know.
00:32:29I don't know who it was.
00:32:31It was someone in that room.
00:32:40Clothing undisturbed.
00:32:45What have you there?
00:32:47Nothing, Pop.
00:32:48Just some old telephone numbers.
00:32:53Name of Kerry Theatrical Warehouse appear often in this case.
00:32:57Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:32:58Mr. Kenzie.
00:32:59You will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:02I will try Warehouse.
00:33:18There must be a woman by the top.
00:33:20Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:23No license plates.
00:33:36Perhaps Miss Petrie arrived already.
00:33:39Take a look around.
00:33:41Quietly.
00:33:44Birmingham.
00:33:49Didn't you hear what Pop said?
00:33:50Sure, your Pop said look around quietly.
00:33:53That's just what I'm going to do.
00:33:54Look around quietly.
00:33:55Right here in the light.
00:33:56See, there ain't no harm to that.
00:33:58I always want to go in the dark.
00:33:59See, I'm going to look right around here in the light.
00:34:02See that?
00:34:03Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:10Tommy.
00:34:10See?
00:34:11Go ahead.
00:34:12Go in the dark and get lost.
00:34:14Okay, I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:16Always running around.
00:34:21That ain't real.
00:34:23Oh, boy.
00:34:24Oh, boy, that ain't real.
00:34:25But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me.
00:34:28Be dependable.
00:34:31Hey, Tommy.
00:34:33Tommy!
00:34:34Tommy!
00:35:06Oh, boy, oh, oh, boy.
00:35:07Don't get excited now.
00:35:12He's real.
00:35:13He was real.
00:35:15Don't get excited now.
00:35:16He's in the trance, not us.
00:35:18Just stay with me, and I'll ask you when to go.
00:35:25I never heard of an old boy.
00:35:27Now, you don't have to worry, now.
00:35:28Everything's all right.
00:35:29Just stay with me.
00:35:30I never see.
00:35:31They're going to have a cage or something for them lions around here.
00:35:34This house shorting is terrible.
00:35:36I ain't never...
00:35:37Whoa.
00:35:38Hmm.
00:35:39I heal a monster.
00:35:40This place is getting crowded.
00:35:42Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:45Just hold that a little bit.
00:35:46That's aplenty.
00:35:48Whoa.
00:35:51I've never seen nothing like this before in my life.
00:35:54Tommy.
00:35:56Give me my hat.
00:35:59Tommy, is that you got in my hat?
00:36:02Tommy, please say yes.
00:36:04You got in my hat.
00:36:21It ain't no kidding, either.
00:36:25Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen, get together, because I'm going to show it to you.
00:36:35Well, let's go.
00:36:36Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:38I've got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:41Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:43Wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:46Look at this.
00:36:48Good evening.
00:36:50Well, ain't this me?
00:36:52Looks all right.
00:37:04Tommy, Tommy, Mr. Doleman, Mr. Doleman, you better open that door. If you don't, you're going to lose it.
00:37:11Good gracious of me. Mr. Chan, good gracious of me.
00:37:33Tommy, Tommy, Mr. Chan, Tommy, good gracious of me.
00:37:37Be quiet, here I am. Oh, Tommy, how did it happen?
00:37:41What happened?
00:37:42You ain't got no clothes on, don't you? Don't you catch cold?
00:37:46Birmingham.
00:37:47Tommy, don't do that without you saying something.
00:37:50Hey, is this you or is this you? Who is this?
00:37:51This is me. Be quiet.
00:37:53Oh, that you? I just can't help it, Tommy. I'm all obsessed.
00:37:56Good gracious, I never, I'm nervous. I just got to sit down. I'm telling you, I'm just...
00:38:00Ow! God, I'm asleep. Mr. Chan, Mr. Chan.
00:38:03Please, please. Didn't I tell you to look around quietly? I mean quietly. Go watch door.
00:38:12Yes, sir, that's the best thing I heard you said.
00:38:54Mr. Chan.
00:39:00Mr. Chan.
00:39:01Hey, Pop. Hey, Pop. Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:08I didn't hear you come in. Strange you'll not hear us. My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:13Sorry, I didn't hear what you said. I have sinus trouble. At times, like tonight, it affects my hearing. Makes
00:39:20me slightly dead.
00:39:22You'll not hear assistants make noise in warehouse? No, I didn't. I couldn't.
00:39:27I'm very sorry for you. I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:32Oh, thank you. If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to do.
00:39:46Your deafness too convenient, Mr. Johnson.
00:39:49Good idea, huh, Pop?
00:39:51Yes. Your idea, my dollar. Give.
00:39:55Miss Petrie. Miss Petrie arrived here yet?
00:39:58Miss Petrie? I know she's never been here.
00:40:01Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:04Mr. Chan, come quick! Mr. Chan!
00:40:11Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:17That truck just went around and he had come back again!
00:40:20Miss Petrie! Hey, look out!
00:40:33Miss Petrie is dead. Call the police.
00:40:35Yes, sir. Here's her purse pocket.
00:40:36No. Wish only police to examine ladies' purse.
00:40:41No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:45Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:40:48No, I won't say anything.
00:40:50Goodbye.
00:40:52I was right.
00:40:54Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:40:57You mean she was murdered?
00:40:58By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself for desistance.
00:41:02But, Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:04To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:08Mr. Chan?
00:41:08Yes.
00:41:09I thought I recognized these prints. They were in my files.
00:41:12They belong to Lewis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:13Lewis Mack, convict? Where?
00:41:15He served two sentences at State Prison.
00:41:19I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:21No, not necessary.
00:41:22Instead, I myself will go to State Prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:26What for?
00:41:27To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:32I will telephone you.
00:41:42Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:41:52Four of them?
00:41:53Yes, the cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Hawley, and Lewis Mack.
00:41:57Was not expecting card on Lewis Mack today.
00:42:01Why not?
00:42:02I got the cards on Gray and Briggs from the dead file.
00:42:05And day after tomorrow, Harley's card goes into that file.
00:42:08Believe, Mr. Harley, we'll live longer than you think.
00:42:11You got something, Charlie?
00:42:12Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:15You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints other than those photographed here.
00:42:21Well, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:23And maybe a couple of the trusty, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:26And mine, perhaps.
00:42:28Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:29Right away.
00:42:30But, Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:34Believe same has already been done.
00:42:36Through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:41Briggs, Gray, and Harley.
00:42:43Gray went out of his head. He died in the psycho war here.
00:42:46And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:42:48Two months here finished him.
00:42:49I learned both men die protesting innocence.
00:42:52They swear fingerprints found in banks that Lamont and Rawdon not placed there by themselves.
00:42:59And now, Mr. Harley says...
00:43:01But, Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:04We'll see soon as Mr. Barker finishes his examination.
00:43:09Okay, okay. This looks okay, huh? Let's sit down.
00:43:12Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble and wait for Mr. Chan.
00:43:16Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:18Oh, no.
00:43:19Not again.
00:43:20Well, look at old Fidget.
00:43:23Hi, boy.
00:43:23How are you?
00:43:24I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:26Yeah?
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27Is you still in?
00:43:28Is you still out?
00:43:29Oh, sure.
00:43:30Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:32Oh, yeah. I went over and I saw him.
00:43:34You see, nobody introduced us, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:37That's the wrong approach.
00:43:37Yeah?
00:43:38Sure.
00:43:38Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:40I did.
00:43:40And we killed him.
00:43:41No.
00:43:42So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:44I thought the finance company got that.
00:43:45Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:43:46Oh, I see.
00:43:47Mm-hmm.
00:43:48Say, is he still going?
00:43:50No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:43:51No.
00:43:52Yeah.
00:43:52Hey.
00:43:53I thought all the time you were...
00:43:54Oh, she's married.
00:43:55No.
00:43:56Yeah, she married a fella by the name of...
00:43:57He's a nice fella.
00:43:59Oh, he is?
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:01Wait a minute.
00:44:02Hmm?
00:44:02Let me tell you something.
00:44:04What's that?
00:44:05You know what I heard?
00:44:06What?
00:44:06I heard...
00:44:07Not until Christmas.
00:44:08No.
00:44:09No!
00:44:09I never did believe that term.
00:44:11I don't believe anything he says, either.
00:44:12No.
00:44:13In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:14Who?
00:44:15He.
00:44:16He?
00:44:16Who? Who's he?
00:44:17What's McCoy?
00:44:18Oh, him!
00:44:19Sure.
00:44:19No.
00:44:19Oh, I didn't know who you were talking about.
00:44:21No.
00:44:21No.
00:44:22I never did know him.
00:44:23I don't know him myself.
00:44:24He's been strangers for years.
00:44:25Yeah!
00:44:27You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:28What?
00:44:28That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:30Cause me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:32We sure do, don't we?
00:44:33Yeah!
00:44:35Sure you're right, Parker?
00:44:37Absolutely.
00:44:37Our file cards have been tampered with.
00:44:39This one has been wiped clean.
00:44:41And this one...
00:44:42That's Lewis Mack's card.
00:44:44Yes, sir.
00:44:44And on it are a thumb and index print made by someone not in this prison.
00:44:49Preserve this card.
00:44:50It is proof that someone tried to partially accuse Lewis Mack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:44:55When Kenzie gets back here with Slade, I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:44:58If I have to make...
00:44:58Warden, the guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:00He must know why we want him.
00:45:02Well, I'll find him.
00:45:03I'll call a general lockup.
00:45:07Gavin!
00:45:12Uh-oh.
00:45:13Gotta go.
00:45:13Can't be late in this school.
00:45:14No.
00:45:15Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:16Be good.
00:45:16Show a lot of bells.
00:45:18Yeah, I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:19I don't know.
00:45:21Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:22This is one we're gonna stay out of.
00:45:24That's the best thing that I heard you say here.
00:45:26Look, let's play John Ken Paul.
00:45:27John Ken Paul.
00:45:28John Ken Paul.
00:45:28John Ken Paul.
00:45:28John Ken Paul.
00:45:29John Ken Paul.
00:45:29John Ken Paul.
00:45:29John Ken Paul.
00:45:29John Ken Paul.
00:45:31John Ken Paul.
00:45:32I got you there, sir.
00:45:45Gesundheit.
00:45:48You want to silence?
00:45:50Yeah.
00:45:50We need to be right here.
00:45:58Archer.isés
00:46:00missing?
00:46:00Yes, sir. We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:03Alerting the guards have located Slade. He's heading for the bailing shed. Come on.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:31The siren's starting. We'd better go and find Pop.
00:46:34Let's do that.
00:46:35Let's find Pop. Come on.
00:47:11Watch out, warden. He's up on the bail.
00:47:18Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:20Slade, you better give up. You haven't got a chance.
00:47:23Yeah? Come and get me.
00:47:37He's hit.
00:47:37He still may be able to talk.
00:47:56You're not going to make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:10Slade is dead.
00:48:12Just as well for him.
00:48:16Gun barrel plugged. Gun explode. He killed South.
00:48:24You better go before something happened to us.
00:48:31It is too bad. Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:38But if there was something wrong...
00:48:40State's attorney demand absolute proof. At present, I have no proof at all.
00:48:44You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:48:46Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:48:50What do you want now?
00:48:51Your fingerprints, please.
00:48:53Why?
00:48:54I'm looking for a murderer.
00:48:56Well, that lets me out.
00:48:57One moment, Miss Evans.
00:48:59I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:01Look, mister.
00:49:02I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:04Have you got a warrant?
00:49:05No, but, uh...
00:49:06Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:08No.
00:49:08Okay, then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:12Excuse, please.
00:49:15So you work for the government.
00:49:17Who doesn't these days?
00:49:18You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:22Okay, Toots.
00:49:23When you get a warrant, give me a buzz.
00:49:25Ta-ta.
00:49:28Miss Evans too smart for her own good.
00:49:30I have her fingerprints now.
00:49:33Here.
00:49:34I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:37Everyone else is out.
00:49:39No matter.
00:49:40This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:49:44We go upstairs, please.
00:49:51You two not afraid?
00:49:53Afraid of what, Pop?
00:49:55That you sit down so often you get concussion of brain.
00:49:58Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:00Good.
00:50:00Save it for old age.
00:50:04Look, uh, save one for me too.
00:50:14Any luck?
00:50:16Not yet, sir.
00:50:18Has anything been heard from Posse Hotel yet?
00:50:20Nothing.
00:50:21The prints on Lewis Mac's prison card were those of Johnson, but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:25Excuse, please.
00:50:32Hello.
00:50:33Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:35No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:38Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away on one of his regular trips.
00:50:42But I'm worried it's getting...
00:50:43Please, please, you must not worry.
00:50:46Everything now in lap of God's.
00:50:48Very soon I give very hearty shove.
00:50:50Perhaps clue fall off of laps.
00:50:53Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:50:55As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:00Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:02But when pressed against an object, they still leave no print mark.
00:51:05That's right.
00:51:06The lack of oil, huh?
00:51:07I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:10And if this test doesn't work, I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:13No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:19Now this is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:30Now if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:51:45Now those are forced fingerprints.
00:51:47But any expert not knowing what we did would swear that they were the real thing.
00:51:50Then we can clear Harley.
00:51:51No, no.
00:51:52We make successful experiments.
00:51:54But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:51:59But, Pop, if the detective at the false hotel arrests Johnson...
00:52:02I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:04This engraving and photography on rubber, you do all of that here?
00:52:10No, sir.
00:52:10I use an engraving plant.
00:52:11I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:15Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:18No, sir.
00:52:18They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:20Large place.
00:52:22Large place.
00:52:23You remain here and try to contact Governor of State.
00:52:27If detectives at false hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:33Cary's?
00:52:33What are you going out there for?
00:52:34To try and prove.
00:52:36Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:40Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:52:42Very fine job.
00:52:43You know, Pop, believe it or not, that's the same idea I had.
00:52:49Tommy, now I've heard everything.
00:52:56Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:52:59Shrewd observation.
00:53:00This is truck which killed Ms. Petri.
00:53:02Look inside.
00:53:04Four big cameras.
00:53:06Hey, what are them tubs doing in there?
00:53:07That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:11You two remain here on watch.
00:53:13If I call, come quickly.
00:53:15Yes, sir.
00:53:17You know, I think Pop's got someone.
00:53:19There must be some clues around here.
00:53:21Let us do some investigating on our own.
00:53:23Come on.
00:53:23Let us you go and let us me stay here.
00:53:26I'm going to wait right here.
00:53:27You're always talking about let us do some investigating.
00:53:30Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:33It's safer.
00:54:10Birmingham, it's me.
00:54:37I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:40Hey, Pop!
00:54:41Hey, Pop!
00:54:45No, I know you ain't real.
00:54:49Couldn't be real.
00:54:55Oh, boy, not now.
00:54:57But when I ask you to make your departure,
00:54:59do not leave me here.
00:55:01Birmingham!
00:55:03Now, this is exactly what I need,
00:55:05a removable foxhole.
00:55:07It's real.
00:55:40Now is the time.
00:55:44Oh, my goodness.
00:55:45It can't be.
00:55:46I know it ain't true.
00:55:47Don't know if I believe it.
00:55:48I don't believe it.
00:55:50What's you doing?
00:55:54I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:55:55Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:55:57Look, in the truck.
00:55:59I got an idea.
00:55:59Good idea.
00:56:02Good idea, Pop!
00:56:07That's right, Tom.
00:56:08Back it out.
00:56:09Right straight through that door.
00:56:12I'm going to run down that killer.
00:56:13That's what we do.
00:56:14What?
00:56:17Get in, Pop!
00:56:19Don't miss him, Pop!
00:56:35You are traveling salesman.
00:56:38This time, no sale.
00:56:41Assistants do a very fine job.
00:56:43Thanks, Pop.
00:56:44Yeah, you put murderer right in my hands.
00:56:48I guess we're pretty good, huh?
00:56:50Yeah!
00:56:52How do we do it?
00:56:59Hello?
00:57:00Charlie, where have you been?
00:57:03Yes, I'll send the police right over.
00:57:04But we've only a couple of hours.
00:57:05What about Harley?
00:57:06Yes, Mr. Morgan, please telephone warden.
00:57:10I have complete evidence to exonerate Mr. Harley.
00:57:13When police arrive, we'll drive to prison.
00:57:16Pick you up on way.
00:57:18Okay.
00:57:20Fast-talking salesman, unusually quiet.
00:57:23I'll talk plenty.
00:57:24You killed Mr. Johnson to prevent him from talking.
00:57:28This way, please.
00:57:32So, that is why I slightly detained last night.
00:57:35Mr. Harley, you'll be out of here the moment the state attorney's papers arrive.
00:57:39Oh, Dad.
00:57:40Everything's all right, June.
00:57:41Your dad's free.
00:57:42Oh, you were wonderful to us, Hugh.
00:57:44Well, it's over.
00:57:45I'm glad you settled it, Charlie.
00:57:47Oh, case not settled yet.
00:57:49Why, wasn't Danvers the guilty man?
00:57:51Convict Slade is one who steal fingerprint cards from prison files.
00:57:55And he sent them to Johnson, who photographed and engraved them on rubber.
00:57:58And Danvers cased each bank before the robbers.
00:58:00But all work for third man who is missing.
00:58:03Man responsible for most of crimes.
00:58:06How was Slade able to get fingerprint cards out of prison and back again so easily?
00:58:13Good question, warden?
00:58:15It is.
00:58:18You got any more?
00:58:19Yes.
00:58:20Who gives Slade gun?
00:58:21Who fix gun so it explode when fired and murder Slade?
00:58:25Man who do all these things is third missing man.
00:58:29Must be someone inside prison.
00:58:33Correct, warden?
00:58:35You may be right.
00:58:37Many contemptible persons in prison.
00:58:39But worst of all is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:58:44You're accusing me?
00:58:46My suspicions confirmed after talk with Mr. Danvers.
00:58:49Got you covered.
00:58:52Thank you, Charlie.
00:58:58Excellent.
00:58:59Excellent.
00:59:01You will put weapons back in pockets.
00:59:04I guess we are good, huh?
00:59:05I don't know how we did it that time.
00:59:08Charlie?
00:59:09I at least thought Kenzie loved you.
00:59:11Oh, he egomaniac.
00:59:13He think only of self.
00:59:15He...
00:59:15He want money so he steal it.
00:59:18He try to get rid of you because you oppose daughter's marriage to him.
00:59:22How did you find that out?
00:59:23I talked with chorus girl, Ms. Evans.
00:59:26Well, Charlie, next time you're in town, drop in and see it.
00:59:30See us?
00:59:32Oh.
00:59:33Oh.
00:59:36We're sure full of good work.
00:59:38Yeah, your pop sure got a great sense of humor.
00:59:40You should know that by now.
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:43Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:59:45Oh, no.
00:59:46This is too much.
00:59:48Well, hello there, Benjamin.
00:59:49Hello, Birmingham.
00:59:51See, I've just been figured.
00:59:52Do you know you owe me...
00:59:54I don't owe you nothing.
00:59:55All I owe you is...
00:59:57Oh, no.
00:59:57You forgetting the time that I...
00:59:59Lying!
01:00:00Do you know I had to spin around...
01:00:01You ain't ever spent that much in your life.
01:00:04Look, my uncle Oaten told me that...
01:00:06No, no, no.
01:00:07Birmingham not do that.
01:00:08He goes see landlady and she tell him...
01:00:11She lied.
01:00:11I don't know her sense.
01:00:13Listen, Mr. Chan.
01:00:14Did you know her...
01:00:16Yeah, I met him last time, you know.
01:00:17That's right, Mr. Chan.
01:00:18That's the time that I took it over to...
01:00:20Took what over to where?
01:00:21Oh, the check to the tailors.
01:00:23Oh, that's what happened to that suit I never got to wear.
01:00:25Yeah, Birmingham go out in rain.
01:00:27Suit shrieked.
01:00:28Taylor refused same.
01:00:29So, Birmingham must pay for suit.
01:00:31Well, where's the suit now?
