00:00:00The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:08The End
00:01:54Oh, Mr. Manning!
00:01:59Much pleased to see you.
00:02:01Hello, Wong. How are you?
00:02:03Good. Much wishes for the Happy New Year.
00:02:06That's right. This is the 12th of February.
00:02:09Chinese New Year.
00:02:10All wishes for happiness in the coming year.
00:02:20I've just received a very fine shipment of beautiful things from the Orient.
00:02:24Nothing picked over yet.
00:02:27No, Wong. I'm not here to buy anything for the ranch.
00:02:30I came to see you because you're the only real friend I have in San Francisco.
00:02:34Ah, Wong. Much honor.
00:02:36There's trouble in Arizona, Wong.
00:02:39So? At the Golden Eye Mine?
00:02:41Not only at the mine. At home. On the ranch. Everywhere.
00:02:45Someone was trying to kill me, Wong.
00:02:49You tap-told at police, man?
00:02:51No, Wong. This is no matter for the police.
00:02:54Either they wouldn't believe or they wouldn't understand.
00:02:56This is the case for Charlie Chan, if I can find him.
00:02:58I'm glad they'd help.
00:03:01Chan, at present time.
00:03:03Chan family on Washington Street.
00:03:06Where they bring a New Year's greeting to honorable cousin.
00:03:09Fine.
00:03:10Out in Arizona, they never figured that a Chinese might be a detective.
00:03:13Where's your phone?
00:03:14Right there.
00:03:21Miss Manning, please.
00:03:23604.
00:03:26Hello.
00:03:27Yes, Dad.
00:03:28I've traced down Charlie Chan.
00:03:31I want you to go get him.
00:03:32He's at the Chan Family Society on Washington Street.
00:03:36Do you want me to bring him here to the hotel?
00:03:38No. Bring him here.
00:03:40I've been followed every minute since I entered Chinatown.
00:03:43All right.
00:03:44Goodbye, Dad.
00:03:48Tell the rest of the story to Wong.
00:03:52I appear someone, a very busy person.
00:03:55Yes.
00:03:56You stay here.
00:03:57I'll get you some tea.
00:04:26I'll get you some tea.
00:04:27But I've had another escape.
00:04:28Look there.
00:04:30I'm there.
00:04:31Let's get out of here until Chan comes.
00:04:33I'll get you some tea.
00:04:35I'll get you some tea.
00:04:41I'll get you some tea.
00:04:47German Mannlicher bullet.
00:04:50Many of these guns now available in country since recent unpleasantness with Mr. Hitler.
00:04:54Looks as though they'd carved the nose of it.
00:04:56Yes.
00:04:57Even so, would have been in the view, except for a bullet being deflected by window glass.
00:05:02How soon can you start for Arizona, Mr. Chan?
00:05:05Oh, well, that poses a little question, because my arrival in Arizona would give warning to enemies.
00:05:13But you must come as soon as you can.
00:05:15Someone's trying to kill Dad, and I feel I'm in danger, too.
00:05:19Bad sign for a new year.
00:05:20You know, Charlie, I have an idea.
00:05:22Yes?
00:05:23The lazy white dude ranch is only a half mile from my property.
00:05:25You could arrive there as a guest on a holiday and still be right at the scene of action.
00:05:29Dude ranch?
00:05:30Oh, well, that idea certainly appealed to number two son Tommy and Birmingham.
00:05:35Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.
00:05:41It never is heard an encouraging word, and the cloud stays cloudy all day.
00:05:50A born cowboy, that's me.
00:05:54Two-gun Birmingham riots again.
00:05:57What am I talking about?
00:06:03Yeah, this is going to be a fine trip.
00:06:14That's great.
00:06:15Well, now, wait a minute, Cheryl.
00:06:17What's the matter with this thing?
00:06:18I know I had it right.
00:06:20Packin' this baby here for you.
00:06:23Ah, that's better.
00:06:25Now, here, let's get along.
00:06:27Wait a minute.
00:06:29This old car hide thing look like it's got some live car hide in it.
00:06:32Hiya, Birmingham.
00:06:34How do I look?
00:06:37Oh, man.
00:06:39Man, you sharp.
00:06:40Pop, you gone, you mad.
00:06:44Hey.
00:06:46How do I look?
00:06:47I'll have to let Pop tell you that.
00:06:49I can't wait till I hit those wide open spaces.
00:06:51The range, the little doggies.
00:06:53Hit that trail.
00:06:54Hit the leather.
00:06:55Hey, wait a minute, Billy Kid.
00:06:56You come over here and hit me at this leather.
00:06:58Having trouble?
00:06:59Oh, I think you got too much stuff in it.
00:07:02No, this suitcase is too little.
00:07:04There.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:05Now, wait a minute.
00:07:06I did that before.
00:07:07You know, it popped right up in my face.
00:07:12Well, that did it.
00:07:14Oh, you got some stuff sticking out.
00:07:16We'll have to open it up again.
00:07:17Oh, no, don't do that.
00:07:18We'll never be able to close this thing again.
00:07:20Wait a minute.
00:07:20I'll fix that.
00:07:22What trouble's I had around here?
00:07:24Pull it up there.
00:07:27Turn it up.
00:07:27I'm going to fix it.
00:07:35We ain't going through all that trouble no more.
00:07:37I bet you this will do it.
00:07:39Ah, that'll do it.
00:07:41Now lay it down.
00:07:43Easy, easy.
00:07:44Easy now.
00:07:46Hold it now.
00:07:46Hold it.
00:07:47Oh.
00:07:50Phew.
00:07:51Ah, that did it.
00:07:53Good baby.
00:07:54What is the matter with this?
00:07:55What is the matter?
00:07:56You can't do this for me.
00:07:57You just can't do it.
00:07:59I ain't going to let you on the way.
00:08:02Oh.
00:08:02Get it down.
00:08:04Get it.
00:08:08Get it.
00:08:09Whoa.
00:08:10Yeah.
00:08:14Good baby.
00:08:15Beauty, Addie.
00:08:16Come on.
00:08:17Come on.
00:08:18Come on.
00:08:19Oh, my God.
00:08:20Oh, my God.
00:08:29I wish the cedar was standing still so I could see some of it.
00:08:34Whoops.
00:08:35Mr. O'Brien, you've been drinking.
00:08:38Oh, somebody must have told you.
00:08:40Old gossips.
00:08:41That's my business.
00:08:42Have you any other kind of business?
00:08:43Nah, it's none of your business.
00:08:46Say, that's a pretty good one, ain't it?
00:08:48Yes, sir.
00:08:50I must be drinking vodka, I'm getting a Russian accent.
00:09:03Water.
00:09:20Hello, pal.
00:09:21How about having a drink on me?
00:09:23Thanks, I already have one.
00:09:25Give me one.
00:09:25Our name is O'Brien.
00:09:26Vincent O'Brien from San Francisco.
00:09:28I'm down here to try to straighten it up a little bit.
00:09:31Uh-huh.
00:09:32Mine's Driscoll.
00:09:34Driscoll?
00:09:35I heard of that name.
00:09:36Oh, yes, you're the superintendent of that mine.
00:09:39Is it a golden eagle?
00:09:41No, it's the nickel plate.
00:09:42No, the diamond horseshoe.
00:09:44The golden eye.
00:09:45Oh, yes, the golden eye, yes.
00:09:47The Driscoll, huh?
00:10:00Uh, Birmingham, please to take luggage to bungalow number nine and arrange suitable accommodation for self.
00:10:07Yes, sir.
00:10:07Where are you going, Pop?
00:10:08Well, uh, earnestly desire to have period of quiet contemplation by swimming pool.
00:10:14I'm going to have a period of quiet contemplation by the pool myself later.
00:10:17Yes, well, uh, personal reasons for contemplation differ from those of number two's son.
00:10:27Miner, that must be a very interesting business.
00:10:30Must be.
00:10:31You know, my father, my father was a miner.
00:10:33Oh, he was a miner.
00:10:34Way back in, uh...
00:10:39Oh, no, no, I guess it was my grandfather who was a miner.
00:10:42Yeah, but it wasn't my grandfather.
00:10:47Excuse me.
00:10:48He said I got to see a book about a girl.
00:10:50Now, don't go away.
00:10:51I'll be right back.
00:11:24Hello, honey.
00:11:27What's she reading?
00:11:29A book.
00:11:30No.
00:11:32A book.
00:11:32So, you know, it's very bad.
00:11:34Under the street like this with the pretty eyes like you.
00:11:36Why don't you go over there with a nice sunshine and read the book.
00:11:39It's nice already.
00:11:41Thanks.
00:11:41I think that's just what I'll do.
00:11:44Oh, now, well, wait a minute, honey.
00:11:46Please, I...
00:11:48Oh, don't go away mad.
00:11:51Nice girl.
00:11:59Hello, Charlie.
00:12:01Well, Lieutenant Mike.
00:12:02I first question reliability of own eyesight.
00:12:06Vincent O'Brien, San Francisco playboy.
00:12:09Slowly but surely reaching the ragged edges of delirium treatment.
00:12:12Uh-huh.
00:12:13Then, uh, working on case.
00:12:15Yeah, on leave from the force to the government.
00:12:18And I'm playing this thing for all it's worth.
00:12:21I see.
00:12:22At first, think Lieutenant Mike are giving Prohibition Party a kick in teeth.
00:12:27Hello, Mr. O'Brien.
00:12:28Well, hello, honey.
00:12:30Aren't you going in the water?
00:12:32Water?
00:12:32Oh, that's for con fish.
00:12:34Oh, no.
00:12:35Goodbye, honey.
00:12:36Have a nice time.
00:12:38Have a nice time.
00:12:40Down here on subject?
00:12:42Yes.
00:12:43I'm endeavoring to unravel small desert mystery.
00:12:47Yeah?
00:12:47Mr. Manning, head of Goldeneye Mine.
00:12:51Manning, huh?
00:12:53You know, Charlie, I think we're barking up the same tree.
00:12:56I'm scraping up an acquaintance with Driscoll over there.
00:13:00Superintendent of the mine.
00:13:02Where are you located?
00:13:03In bungalow number nine.
00:13:06Fine.
00:13:07I'll stagger over and see you after dark.
00:13:10Will, there's my friend over there.
00:13:12Don't go away now.
00:13:13I'm coming right over.
00:13:31Oh, boy.
00:13:33That was the closest.
00:13:33Did you see that?
00:13:34I almost went in.
00:13:35Hey!
00:13:37Hey!
00:13:44Hey!
00:13:45Hey!
00:13:46Hey!
00:13:49Hey!
00:13:50Hey!
00:13:53Hey!
00:13:55Hey!
00:13:56Hey!
00:13:56Hey!
00:13:57Hey!
00:13:57моз
00:13:58Would you say who pushed me?
00:13:59I was found out of my own business.
00:14:01Somebody pushed me.
00:14:02Come on, sit down.
00:14:03Sit down, he said.
00:14:05It's a fine thing.
00:14:07Out for enjoyment.
00:14:09Everything.
00:14:11You must have seen it in his staff.
00:14:34Oh, bury me not on the long prairie,
00:14:38Where the cair is down and the wind blows free.
00:14:43I don't know when I die, you could...
00:14:54Come in, please.
00:15:00Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:02Hello, Charlie.
00:15:04Well, Lieutenant Mike,
00:15:06You know, I think you are overplaying your part of drinking man.
00:15:11In fact, I think I might say you go overboard.
00:15:14I see what you mean.
00:15:16I have a mouthful of news for you, Charlie.
00:15:18Your man, Manning...
00:15:19Has had accident.
00:15:20Yeah, how did you guess it?
00:15:22Well, Mr. Manning had a series of accidents,
00:15:24Including two days ago in San Francisco,
00:15:26When mysterious bullets come through window of curio shop.
00:15:29Yeah, well, they nearly got him this time.
00:15:31What happened?
00:15:32Fell down one of the shafts in the mine,
00:15:33Badly bruised head and shoulders,
00:15:35And a possible skull fracture.
00:15:36Oh, you have much news, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:39Yes, the doctor from Eldorado stopped to have his car gassed
00:15:42On the way to the Manning ranch.
00:15:43I overheard him talking to the station attendant.
00:15:45I see.
00:15:46Well, I think I better go there at once.
00:15:48Tommy!
00:15:49Yes, Pop?
00:15:52People who listen at keyholes rarely hear good of themselves.
00:15:57Well, I knew we weren't up here on a holiday, Pop.
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Please tell Birmingham bring Carr around at once.
00:16:02Okay, Pop.
00:16:03Hello, Lieutenant Rourke.
00:16:04Hear, hear, young man.
00:16:06Watch your language.
00:16:07Cut out that lieutenant.
00:16:08I'm Vincent O'Brien down here.
00:16:10Oh, boy, is this interesting.
00:16:15Well, so much for so much.
00:16:18But, Lieutenant Mike, you have not yet told me why you are here.
00:16:22Well, Charlie, we're not as interested in Manning
00:16:24As we are the Goldeneye mine.
00:16:26After many years of low returns,
00:16:27It suddenly turns out to be one of the biggest and richest mines in the country.
00:16:31I see.
00:16:32Well, any news of discovery of new vein or load?
00:16:36No, that's just it.
00:16:37And there's been no publicity on it.
00:16:39But the way the gold is floating into San Francisco,
00:16:41It's a bonanza, and it's just too good to be true.
00:16:44Well, very strange coincidence permits itself luxury of occurring.
00:16:48Mine suddenly become worth very much.
00:16:51Owner's life become worth nothing.
00:16:53Well, I must go to ranch.
00:16:55You come with me?
00:16:56No, I'd better stay undercover for the present, Charlie.
00:16:59Uh-huh.
00:16:59I got some of Driscoll's fingerprints off his glass.
00:17:02I want to send him up to San Francisco for identification.
00:17:04Oh, good.
00:17:05Small things sometimes tell very large stories.
00:17:09Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:19Will not be long.
00:17:21Yes, sir.
00:17:29There's something phony, Jim.
00:17:31I don't understand it.
00:17:32Neither do I.
00:17:38The man's been down that shaft a thousand times.
00:17:48Yes?
00:17:50M. Chan, dealer in Oriental Curios.
00:17:53Meet Mr. Manning in San Francisco and have brought for him some objects of jade for his approval.
00:17:59Uh-huh.
00:18:00Come in.
00:18:01Thank you so much.
00:18:05My name's Driscoll.
00:18:08I'm manager of Mr. Manning's mine.
00:18:11Meet my wife, Mrs. Driscoll.
00:18:13Mr. Chan.
00:18:14How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:15Very charmed indeed.
00:18:16Mr. Bartlett, the local assayer.
00:18:18How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:19Mr. Bartlett.
00:18:20Well, Jim, I think I'd better be running along.
00:18:23Tell Evelyn good night for me, will you?
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Good night, Margaret.
00:18:26Good night, Tal.
00:18:26Mr. Chan?
00:18:30Mr. Manning can't see you just now.
00:18:32I'd be glad to give you a receipt for that jade.
00:18:34Oh, very sorry, but must deliver jade to Mr. Manning personally.
00:18:39That's impossible.
00:18:40He's had a serious accident.
00:18:41Oh, very unfortunate.
00:18:44Perhaps other member of family present?
00:18:49Just a minute.
00:18:51Sit down.
00:18:51Well, thank you.
00:19:01Evelyn.
00:19:08Yes?
00:19:09There's a man out here, a Chinese.
00:19:11Says he's got some jade for your father.
00:19:15Very large ranch Mr. Manning has.
00:19:17It's not so big compared to some of the others around here.
00:19:20Oh, so?
00:19:22This is Mr. Manning's daughter, Evelyn.
00:19:24Oh, a great day, Chan.
00:19:27Regret immeasurably to hear of unfortunate accident to parrot.
00:19:32You have something for my father?
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35Your father a very old friend of Chan.
00:19:37Many of these objects come from valued collection in San Francisco.
00:19:41I've heard him mention your name.
00:19:43If you like, I can take the jade.
00:19:45I'll see that he gets it.
00:19:46Very sorry.
00:19:47But promise Mr. Manning to deliver jade to him personally.
00:19:50But that's impossible.
00:19:51Well, also impossible to give jade into other hands.
00:19:55But he's unconscious.
00:19:56He has been ever since his fall.
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:59Very strange accident.
00:20:01Could possibly see father?
00:20:04Well, I guess it'll be all right.
00:20:08Come.
00:20:08Yes.
00:20:24Dr. Groves, this is Mr. Chan, an old friend of father's.
00:20:28How do you do, sir?
00:20:30How do you do, doctor?
00:20:31Injuries are very serious?
00:20:33Quite.
00:20:34Multiple contusions about the head and shoulders.
00:20:38It's impossible to tell just how bad without x-rays.
00:20:42I see.
00:20:43Have any idea how far Mr. Manning fall?
00:20:47Oh, about 40 feet.
00:20:4940 feet.
00:20:50Anybody have any idea of cause of fall?
00:20:54None at all.
00:20:56There are iron rungs running down the side of that shaft.
00:20:59Mr. Manning's been up and down them a thousand times.
00:21:01Oh, well, perhaps a case of too much familiarity breeds carelessness.
00:21:06I suppose so.
00:21:07Well, I must be going.
00:21:09I've written out full instructions and left medicine.
00:21:12I'll send a nurse out as soon as I get to town.
00:21:14That won't be necessary.
00:21:15I've arranged for a nursing sister from the mission school.
00:21:17Good.
00:21:18Nurses are at a premium nowadays.
00:21:20Mr. Manning will have to have opiates for several days as soon as he recovers consciousness.
00:21:24I've done all I can for him at the present.
00:21:27Uh, Doctor, we'll accompany you to a car.
00:21:35Talbot had a goal.
00:21:37He told me to say goodbye.
00:21:41You know, I'm going to have to rely on the two of you until Dad's better.
00:21:46You can depend on both of us.
00:21:48Thanks.
00:22:05Well, young Mr. Butler, a seer of precious metals.
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:12And when did Charlie Chan, the detective, become Mr. Chan, dealer in oriental art?
00:22:18Oh, so?
00:22:20Don't you remember Bartlett, collector of customs in Honolulu?
00:22:23Oh, yes.
00:22:24Also remember young Mr. Butler, excellent first baseman who played with number one son on high school teen.
00:22:30What are you doing down here, Charlie?
00:22:32Are you after gold or after Mr. Manning?
00:22:34Well, young men seem to be very full of important information.
00:22:39Not much information, but an awful lot of suspicions.
00:22:43Are you after Manning?
00:22:45No, Chan not after Manning.
00:22:47Mr. Manning come after Chan.
00:22:48Very much afraid some enemy may be threatening life of same.
00:22:52Oh, yes?
00:22:53Yes.
00:22:54Possibility that fall down shaft of mine, not accident, but deliberate attempt at murder.
00:22:59Oh.
00:23:00Mr. Manning have several accidents, including someone shoot at him in San Francisco.
00:23:05You know, there's something strange going on at that mine.
00:23:08They're shipping an enormous amount of gold out of it lately.
00:23:11Yes.
00:23:11Uh, appear as though Mr. Manning well on the way to be a large millionaire.
00:23:16Exactly.
00:23:17Yes.
00:23:18Very interesting circumstance.
00:23:21Yesterday, an old prospector came in, not a very honest or reliable one, with some gold ore for me to
00:23:26say.
00:23:27I know enough of the geological formations in this part of the country to know that that ore came from
00:23:32the Golden Eye Mine.
00:23:33Oh, you can be sure?
00:23:35Yes.
00:23:36In fact, he finally confessed that he'd hijacked it from an old disused mine shaft running from a trap door
00:23:41beneath his shack.
00:23:43I guess there was quite a lot of hijacking in the old days.
00:23:45And, uh, now?
00:23:47Well, the mine hasn't been worth anything the past few years, but there are rumors that she's really paying off
00:23:52now.
00:23:53Uh-uh.
00:23:54Uh, what, uh, your assay show?
00:23:57I haven't finished it yet. I'll, I'll know more about it tomorrow.
00:24:00Possibly we'll pay you a visit at that time.
00:24:03Fine.
00:24:04Well, I've got to be going along now.
00:24:07Uh, I, uh, I thought some of that information might be of value to you.
00:24:13Oh, yes, uh, information, very high-grade ore.
00:24:18Goodbye, Charlie.
00:24:19Goodbye, Mr. Butler.
00:24:52Hello there.
00:24:53Oh, hello, Evelyn.
00:24:56Drop over to have lunch with me?
00:24:57At the Canton Cafe?
00:24:59Yeah, at Tomey and Louise.
00:25:02How's your father?
00:25:04Just the same.
00:25:06He's still unconscious.
00:25:07Did the nursing sister get there yet?
00:25:09Oh, yes, she arrived almost immediately.
00:25:11She's a weird character.
00:25:13You can hardly get a word out of her.
00:25:22Talbot, has it ever occurred to you there might be something peculiar about the series of accidents Dad has had
00:25:28the past few weeks?
00:25:29So, you've been struck by that, too.
00:25:31Has someone else wondered about it?
00:25:33Yes, Charlie Chan.
00:25:36Chan?
00:25:37You mean Chan, the Chinese curio dealer?
00:25:41No, Charlie Chan, the great detective.
00:25:43Oh, compliment very refreshing.
00:25:47Oh, hello, Charlie.
00:25:48Come on in.
00:25:50Well, thank you so much.
00:25:52Of course you've met Miss Manning.
00:25:54Oh, yes.
00:25:55Have had extreme pleasure.
00:25:56Honored father much better, I trust.
00:25:58No, he isn't.
00:26:00Oh, so sorry.
00:26:02Regret exceedingly was not present when last unfortunate mishap occur.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09It'll be a miracle if he recovers.
00:26:11Yes, true.
00:26:12Uh, but in any case, Miss Evelyn be a very wealthy young woman.
00:26:16Wealthy?
00:26:17What do you mean?
00:26:18Rumors say that mine are now producing large quantities of gold in past few months.
00:26:24That's ridiculous.
00:26:26Why, father would have told me if that had been the case.
00:26:28The mine hasn't paid expenses for the past few years.
00:26:31Well, uh, desert present many mysteries.
00:26:35Well, uh, desert present many mysteries.
00:26:51That's ridiculous.
00:26:53Oh, didn't know you had company.
00:26:55I'll come back later.
00:26:57Wait a minute, Pete.
00:27:01What do you want to see me about?
00:27:03Make an assay on that last ore I brought in?
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07It's nothing.
00:27:08It won't run more than six dollars to the ton.
00:27:10That's impossible.
00:27:12That's supposed to be pretty high grade stuff.
00:27:14Now, look, Pete.
00:27:15I know where you got that ore.
00:27:17Now, why don't you, uh, make a clean breast of it?
00:27:21How about Miss Manning over there?
00:27:23Anything I learn here will go no further.
00:27:27Uh, pardon, please.
00:27:29You gain entrance to mine through trapped ore in your shack?
00:27:33Maybe.
00:27:34How do you know, stranger?
00:27:36Well, uh, small investigation sometimes brings large amount of knowledge.
00:27:41This, uh, ore is from New Load recently uncovered in mine.
00:27:46Ah, you're pretty sharp.
00:27:48That ore constantly on a new vein they've opened up in the past three years.
00:27:52Yes.
00:27:53And so far has proved to be most unprofitable.
00:27:56So Bartlett says.
00:27:58I don't figure it.
00:28:00Where's the gold coming from?
00:28:02So you've heard about that too, huh?
00:28:03Well, there's been whispers.
00:28:06So it's common knowledge now that the mine is a heavy producer.
00:28:10Well, some of the boys used to be, uh, pretty interested in the gold and ore.
00:28:15Uh, have keen desire to gain access to mine through secret tunnel tonight.
00:28:20Well, I guess that can be arranged.
00:28:24My shack is at the bottom of Hay Canyon.
00:28:26But what's in it for me?
00:28:28You're lucky I don't turn you in for hijacking gold ore.
00:28:30Yes, we'll be at your shack shortly after dark.
00:28:35Oh, all right.
00:28:45Please do let me know as soon as father able to talk.
00:28:49Yes, I'll do that.
00:28:50Thank you so much. I go now.
00:29:06What do you think you've got to find, Pop?
00:29:08Do not know.
00:29:09Many needles in this haystack.
00:29:27What do you think you've got to find, Pop?
00:29:43Well, strange.
00:29:44Old prospect is supposed to meet us here, not here.
00:29:49We'll go on with investigation without permission.
00:29:52Tommy, light light, please.
00:30:11Please.
00:30:11Now, please remove rug. We'll find trapdoor underneath.
00:30:17Gee, Pop, you're right.
00:30:19You're surprised?
00:30:20Well, I...
00:30:21Please open.
00:30:31This ain't my idea of evening entertainment.
00:30:51Come, this way.
00:31:01All right.
00:31:02You go this way, I go that way.
00:31:05We meet back here.
00:31:06Uh, Mr. Chan, if you happen to be a little late getting back and don't see me, don't worry, because
00:31:10I'll be way ahead of you.
00:31:12Come on.
00:31:13Come on, Furry.
00:31:13Don't rush me now.
00:31:14Don't rush me.
00:31:15You always rush on somebody.
00:31:22I'll be having answers.
00:31:22Good to see you.
00:31:22I'll be going to be.
00:31:22I'm with it.
00:31:32Like...
00:31:33Oh.
00:31:39Be careful.
00:31:46I can't wait.
00:31:52Spooky, isn't it?
00:31:53Shh, don't say that word.
00:31:55I mean, anything can happen down here.
00:31:58Uh-oh, everything's done happen.
00:32:00What do you mean?
00:32:01Look at that.
00:32:02There's shoes.
00:32:03Wherever there's shoes, there's feet.
00:32:05And wherever there's feet, there's legs.
00:32:07And wherever there's legs, there's a body.
00:32:10Sure looks like it.
00:32:14Gee, I wonder if he's dead.
00:32:16I don't know.
00:32:16Don't care.
00:32:17It'll always remain a mystery to me.
00:32:19We gotta find out.
00:32:20You don't have to be curious, do you?
00:32:22Okay, you go and get Pop.
00:32:23Oh, yeah, I'll go get Pop.
00:32:24Wait a minute.
00:32:25You better come and go with me.
00:32:26No, I gotta stay and watch him.
00:32:27What you gonna watch him for?
00:32:28He ain't going nowhere.
00:32:30Okay, you stay.
00:32:31I'll go get Pop.
00:32:31Wait a minute.
00:32:32No, you won't.
00:32:32You stay.
00:32:33I stay.
00:32:34I've never been so undecided in all my life.
00:32:36Well, make up your mind.
00:32:37Do something.
00:32:38Do something?
00:32:39Don't tempt me, boy.
00:32:39You'll be left here alone.
00:32:41Okay, we'll go together.
00:32:42Oh, we go together.
00:32:43Wait a minute, now.
00:32:44Wait a minute.
00:32:44I'm going with you.
00:32:45Wait a minute.
00:32:45Don't push, ma'am.
00:32:47Don't push you.
00:32:47Don't talk to me.
00:32:48Consult my feet.
00:33:01Oh, it sure is dark in here.
00:33:03Don't tell me it's dark and you're scared, too.
00:33:05Look how that light's shaking.
00:33:07That's your hand on my arm.
00:33:09Oh.
00:33:17Gee, I wonder where Pop is.
00:33:19I don't know.
00:33:19He went right in there.
00:33:20Mr. Chan.
00:33:21Mr. Chan.
00:33:22He'll never hear that.
00:33:23Hey, Pop!
00:33:24Hey, Pop!
00:33:25Hey, Pop!
00:33:25Hey, Pop!
00:33:26Hey, Pop!
00:33:27Oh, good, Gracie.
00:33:28Somebody's in this tunnel.
00:33:29Come on, let's go this way.
00:33:30Hey, wait a minute.
00:33:31That's just an echo.
00:33:31Echo?
00:33:32What does he got to do with it?
00:33:33Ain't nobody talking to him.
00:33:34Mr. Chan!
00:33:35Mr. Chan!
00:33:36Mr. Chan!
00:33:37Mr. Chan!
00:33:38Mr. Chan!
00:33:39Mr. Chan!
00:33:40Uh-oh.
00:33:41That's that echo again.
00:33:42What is it?
00:33:42What is he trying to do?
00:33:43Get me excited or something like that?
00:33:45What is it?
00:33:46Go away, Echo.
00:33:47Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:33:48We found something, Pop.
00:33:49A dead man in the tunnel.
00:33:50Yes?
00:33:51What does a dead man look like?
00:33:52Dead?
00:33:54Marvelous piece deduction.
00:33:56You show me.
00:33:57Oh, Mr. Chan, you all go ahead.
00:33:58I think I'll stay here.
00:33:59Oh, what am I doing here alone?
00:34:01Wait a minute for me.
00:34:06Here it is, Pop.
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:09Remove dirt from face.
00:34:11Huh?
00:34:11You heard what your father said?
00:34:19It's an old man.
00:34:21Yes.
00:34:22His old prospector who was supposed to guide us through mine.
00:34:26Murder, Pop?
00:34:27Maybe.
00:34:28Possibly not killed here, but a body brought here to be found.
00:34:32But why?
00:34:33Little knowledge, sometimes a very dangerous thing.
00:34:35Oh, Mr. Chan, you want us to move to court?
00:34:38Oh, what do I say?
00:34:39The foolish things?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:40Willingness to speak not necessarily mean the willingness to act.
00:34:43No, we leave body as we find.
00:34:45Then not too many questions asked why we are here.
00:34:48As mentioned before, little knowledge, sometimes very dangerous possession.
00:34:52Come, we go.
00:35:03Hey, Pop, somebody frisked the joint.
00:35:05Well, yes.
00:35:07Yes.
00:35:12Looks like they're wise to us, Pop.
00:35:13Uh, correction.
00:35:15Rather imagine intruder was looking for non-existent jade.
00:35:19You know, good jade worth much money today.
00:35:23You straighten up, please.
00:35:39Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:35:40How are you, Charlie?
00:35:41What did you find out of the mine?
00:35:42Oh, fine dead body of prospector who was supposed to show us through.
00:35:47Murdered?
00:35:48Possibly.
00:35:49Imagine he was possessor of very dangerous information.
00:35:51And, you know, think very likely Charlie Chan might find self in the same unenviable situation.
00:35:57Yeah, I'm practically in the same boat with you.
00:35:59Oh, no.
00:36:00Wealthy San Francisco playboy on spree.
00:36:02Much better disguised than Chinese curio dealer.
00:36:05Say, they really gave you a join of going over, didn't they?
00:36:07Yes.
00:36:08You know, Charlie, I'm going to take a gander at that mine the first chance I get.
00:36:12Yes, intend to make second investigation myself, possibly tomorrow night.
00:36:16I'll go with you.
00:36:17Two heads are better than one, you know.
00:36:18Well, uh, sometimes debatable point.
00:36:22However, we'll welcome assistance, which has been very valuable in past.
00:36:26Oh, excuse me.
00:36:32Oh, hello, Mr. Butter.
00:36:33Hello, Charlie.
00:36:35Oh, uh, Mr. O'Brien, a guest here at lunch,
00:36:37and number two son, Tommy.
00:36:42Pleased to meet you.
00:36:43Now, Mr. Chan, I want you to pardon the intrusion,
00:36:46but at night time, all the numbers look alike.
00:36:48It'll be one of them.
00:36:49But I want to say one thing.
00:36:50You've got an interesting collection of Jane.
00:36:53Very interesting.
00:36:54Very, excuse me, please.
00:36:57Pleased to meet you.
00:37:00Come here, please.
00:37:22Number two son, about to make self-scares.
00:37:25Oh, gee whiz.
00:37:28Sit down, please.
00:37:31Well, Charlie, did you meet the old prospector, Pete, as you'd arranged?
00:37:34No, was not in the cabin.
00:37:36Yes, there's a mighty good reason for that.
00:37:39His body was found trapped under a fall in the mine a few hours ago.
00:37:42Yes, uh, body was also discovered by Chan and associates.
00:37:47Oh, uh, you were in the mine.
00:37:49Yes, but, uh, not make very much progress
00:37:51because, uh, fall of timber and ore,
00:37:55which suffocate prospector, also effectively block tunnel of mine.
00:37:59Why didn't you report finding the body?
00:38:01Well, thought perhaps presence of Charlie Chan and associates there had to explain.
00:38:07By the way, Charlie, uh, just who are your associates?
00:38:10Oh, number two son, Tommy, and chauffeur, Birmingham.
00:38:14Oh, yes.
00:38:16Uh, however, intend to make second investigation of mine as soon as possible.
00:38:20Tomorrow night?
00:38:22Possibly.
00:38:23Well, I've got to be going, Charlie.
00:38:25Let me know what happens and if I can be of any more help, huh?
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Thank you so much.
00:38:34But the whole thing is so puzzling, Talbot.
00:38:38Father should have regained consciousness by now.
00:38:41Skull fractures are like that, Evelyn.
00:38:43In fact, it's a good sign, if anything.
00:38:45It means perfect immobility and quiet.
00:38:47But I'm sure I heard conversation in that room this afternoon.
00:38:51Father must have been conscious.
00:38:53Well, why didn't you go in and investigate?
00:38:55I did.
00:38:56Sister Teresa insisted that no one had been talking,
00:38:59that Father was still in a coma,
00:39:01and he certainly seemed to be.
00:39:03Oh, that Sister Teresa certainly is a peculiar person.
00:39:07You can't find out anything from her,
00:39:09whether Father is better or worse,
00:39:11whether the situation is dangerous or what.
00:39:13Have you told Charlie Chan about this?
00:39:16No, I haven't.
00:39:17Well, why don't you call him up and have him come over here?
00:39:20After all, you know, he was hired by your father
00:39:22to find out what this is all about.
00:39:24Yes.
00:39:25Yes, I think I will.
00:39:27Well, I will.
00:39:29Well, I will.
00:39:35That's gin.
00:39:37Again?
00:39:38Boy, you, you luckiest man I ever did see.
00:39:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:39:43I didn't see you pull that cane.
00:39:49Hello.
00:39:50Mr. Charlie Chan's bungalow.
00:39:52Mr. Charlie Chan, the great Chinese dee,
00:39:55dee, uh, dealers in curio.
00:39:57Jade, Ivory, and what you call them, Maps.
00:40:00I'd like to speak to Mr. Chan, please.
00:40:02Mr. Chan is not in.
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:05Oh, would you tell him that Miss Manning called,
00:40:07and I would like to see him as soon as possible.
00:40:09I'm sorry he ain't here,
00:40:10but I'll see that he gets the message right away.
00:40:12Yes, ma'am.
00:40:15It's a lady over the ranch who wants to see Mr. Chan pronto.
00:40:18Don't you mess with them cards,
00:40:19because I'll be right back.
00:40:25And another thing, Charlie,
00:40:26somebody was watching your bungalow
00:40:28when I left early this evening,
00:40:29and I have a hunch it was Driscoll.
00:40:30Uh-huh. Well,
00:40:32maybe so.
00:40:33Somebody seemed to have great interest
00:40:34in activities of Charlie Chan.
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:37Oh, yes.
00:40:38I received a telegram from San Francisco
00:40:40a little while ago.
00:40:41Driscoll has a criminal record.
00:40:42Good, good.
00:40:43Now we start to make progress.
00:40:47Come in.
00:40:51Uh, Mr. Chan?
00:40:52Yes.
00:40:53The lady at the ranch says she wanted to see you right away.
00:40:55Oh, good. Thank you, Birmingham.
00:40:56Please get car.
00:40:57We'll be with you immediately.
00:40:59Yes, sir.
00:41:02Well,
00:41:04more events may be taking place.
00:41:06By the way,
00:41:06expedition planned to mine tunnel tonight
00:41:09must be postponed.
00:41:10We'll see you later.
00:41:11Okay, Charlie.
00:41:16Sit down and relax, honey,
00:41:17or we'll have to be getting a nurse for you.
00:41:29Come in, Mr. Chan.
00:41:34Mr. Chan.
00:41:35I just felt that I had to send for you.
00:41:37Oh, very much complimented.
00:41:39Hello, Mr. Chan.
00:41:40Mr. Bartlett.
00:41:41I can tell you what's bothering me in a sentence, Mr. Chan.
00:41:44My father's supposed to be still unconscious.
00:41:46Yet, I'm certain that I heard a conversation
00:41:49in that room this afternoon.
00:41:50Well, perhaps a guest in house.
00:41:53There's been no one here.
00:41:54Well, let us seize upon the fact.
00:41:56Father unconscious, yet can talk.
00:41:59It looks that way.
00:42:00Perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the sick room.
00:42:03Oh, most admirable suggestion.
00:42:04All right.
00:42:05This way.
00:42:19Mr. Chan would like to take a look at father,
00:42:21Sister Teresa.
00:42:22His condition is unchanged.
00:42:29Perceive, however, you have changed bondages.
00:42:33That was considered necessary.
00:42:35The doctor was afraid of germs.
00:42:37The interior of the mine was probably alive with them.
00:42:40Oh, yes, of course.
00:42:41Possibly you were anticipating tetanus.
00:42:45Tetanus?
00:42:46Yes, tetanus.
00:42:49Lockjaw.
00:42:50Oh, of course, lockjaw.
00:42:51We have been afraid it might develop.
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:55What are doctors' opinion of continued state of coma?
00:42:59There's nothing to be done.
00:43:01I report to him twice daily by telephone.
00:43:03Hmm.
00:43:08Perceive you have been injecting opiates into Mr. Manning.
00:43:12Why?
00:43:14If Mr. Manning should regain consciousness,
00:43:17he might become very violent because of terrific pain.
00:43:20Oh, so sorry.
00:43:31Oh, please, pardon clumsiness.
00:43:34Very fortunately, a bottle not break.
00:43:37Thank you so much.
00:43:48Well, Charlie, what do you think?
00:43:51Well, what's mystery here?
00:43:54Many questions only receive answer
00:43:55when Mr. Manning regained consciousness.
00:43:58If that ever happens.
00:43:59Yes, but have feeling everything now
00:44:01running toward logical conclusion.
00:44:04But must go now.
00:44:05Much to be done.
00:44:12Goodbye, Charlie.
00:44:18You know, he just doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:44:21Don't be impatient, Evelyn.
00:44:23Chan never shows his hand
00:44:24till all the chips are in the center of the table.
00:44:27Sorry.
00:44:36No.
00:44:48Come here.
00:44:51No.
00:44:51No.
00:45:09Hurry up. There's the shipman.
00:45:16Pedro, help me carry this box.
00:45:18Well done.
00:45:37Let's go.
00:45:39Let's go, gentlemen. Take care of your hands.
00:45:44Let's go, Pedro. We don't have much time.
00:45:54Let's go.
00:46:06Hey, Pa. I got a message for you from the lieutenant.
00:46:10Yes?
00:46:11He spotted Driscoll in the bar. Then one of the men from the mine came in, said something to Driscoll,
00:46:15and the two of them left in a hurry.
00:46:16Uh-huh. What message?
00:46:18The lieutenant went up to the mine to do a little investigating.
00:46:20He go alone?
00:46:21Yeah.
00:46:22Oh, not good.
00:46:24Uh, Birmingham, we go to Prospector Shack at bottom of canyon at once.
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:42That's all there is. Let's go.
00:46:54not going down to the tylm semi.
00:46:56Yes, sir.
00:46:56No.
00:46:59No.
00:47:00No.
00:47:02No.
00:47:03No.
00:47:04No.
00:47:04No!
00:47:04No.
00:47:05No.
00:47:05No.
00:47:17No.
00:47:23Let's go.
00:47:57What's the idea, bud?
00:47:58What are you doing down here?
00:48:00Oh, I thought I'd like to look the mine over.
00:48:03I guess I got lost.
00:48:04You got lost, eh?
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:06Well, get going.
00:48:23Copper, eh?
00:48:29Lieutenant Rourke.
00:48:46I just conked a guy that was trailing you in the mine.
00:48:48And he's a copper.
00:48:49What?
00:48:49Yes, San Francisco police for Lieutenant Rourke.
00:48:53Come on, let's get this stuff loaded fast.
00:49:06On your way and don't stop for anybody.
00:49:13Now let's get in the mine and get that copper.
00:49:44Let's get in the mine and get that copper.
00:49:48He's heading for Pete's shack.
00:49:50You two go around and head him off.
00:49:51We'll stay here and fight up this end.
00:49:54Come on.
00:49:56Come on.
00:49:58Come on.
00:49:59Come on.
00:50:11Come on.
00:50:19Come on.
00:50:26He's gone in the shack. The boys will take care of him. Come on.
00:50:43Look!
00:50:56Lieutenant Mike. Guns.
00:51:04Don't give me no gun. Okay, okay.
00:51:08We go get behind them.
00:51:35Lieutenant Mike, you all right? Oh, it's nothing.
00:51:37You know, Charlie, I think I have the answer to my problem.
00:51:39Yes? Yes, sir. To me, it seems like...
00:51:42Oh.
00:51:47We must get Lieutenant Mike to a doctor at once. Quick, Birmingham.
00:51:50Yes, sir.
00:51:56Well, did you get him?
00:51:57Get him. The woods in the canyon was full of guns.
00:51:59We were lucky to get back alive.
00:52:01And the sooner we get out of here and head for parts unknown, the better.
00:52:04Wait a minute. We've got quite a slice coming to us from this operation.
00:52:07If they're going to close in on us, I'm in favor of letting the money go.
00:52:11Who's that?
00:52:19What's happened now?
00:52:20Plenty. We caught a San Francisco copper in the mine.
00:52:23The boys had him holed up in the prospect of the shack.
00:52:26Then the bushes became alive with guns.
00:52:28Was he a federal man?
00:52:28No, a detective lieutenant.
00:52:30Who were the others?
00:52:31We didn't have time to see. The bullets were popping around us like hailstones.
00:52:34It's about time we get out of this joint.
00:52:35You can't go till the second shipment comes in tomorrow night.
00:52:38When that's gone, you can go as fast and as far as you like.
00:52:41And what about our dough?
00:52:42You'll get it tomorrow night. And that's final.
00:52:47If that Chinese comes snooping around the mine, put a bullet into him and ask questions afterwards.
00:52:51He's got no right on company property.
00:52:56Well, situation getting much more simple.
00:53:00Gold worth $7 ounce in Mexico, worth $35 ounce in United States.
00:53:07Case one very simply of smuggling.
00:53:10Gold is brought in from Mexico, delivered to mine office on United States side as product of gold and I.
00:53:18Well, how does that explain the attempts on Manning's life?
00:53:21Well, uh, not know for sure.
00:53:23But whoever in charge and must be a very important person certainly want Mr. Manning out of way.
00:53:28Yeah, and I've got a hunch it's Driscoll, the mine superintendent.
00:53:30Yes, uh, could be.
00:53:33Certainly Driscoll would have to know about operations.
00:53:36Yet he very tried and trusted friend of Mr. Manning.
00:53:40Yeah.
00:53:41Say, what about that nursing sister?
00:53:43Oh, I've known for a long time that nursing sister, absolute imposter.
00:53:47Oh, then you checked.
00:53:48Oh, yes.
00:53:49Full staff of nurses in attendance.
00:53:51No Sister Teresa ever heard of.
00:53:53And, uh, incidentally, Mr. Driscoll never call nursing home for aid.
00:53:58Well, then all we have to do is move in on them.
00:53:59Oh, no, no. Much too soon.
00:54:01Too many questions must be answered before a puzzling case are solved.
00:54:05Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:54:06Oh, I got in touch with my friend Captain Gonzales of the Mexican Border Patrol.
00:54:10Oh, good.
00:54:10He's gonna post men on the Mexican side.
00:54:12He'll find out how they're getting that stuff into the mine.
00:54:14Uh-huh.
00:54:15Well, only wish, uh, Charlie Chan case as easily solved.
00:54:20Oh, cheer up, Charlie.
00:54:21The solution of one case may lead to the other.
00:54:24Yes, possible.
00:54:25But, uh, incidentally, think it very good idea if you go immediately to local police and establish your true identity,
00:54:31because time very rapidly approaching where aid may be necessary.
00:54:35Say, I think you're right.
00:54:37I'll do that right away.
00:54:38Good.
00:54:47Lieutenant Mike, perhaps would be better you stay in car and cover means of retreat.
00:54:51I think you're right, Charlie. I wouldn't be of much use with this bandaged flipper of mine.
00:54:55Right.
00:55:01Let me go down first.
00:55:02I ain't arguing with you.
00:55:04Why number two son so anxious to leave?
00:55:06Well, I don't like the looks of this door being opened.
00:55:08It might be a trap.
00:55:09They might be waiting for us to appear.
00:55:10Well, a deer should not toy with Tiger.
00:55:13But if number two son feel valorous, shall not deny him.
00:55:16Okay, Pop.
00:55:18The last couple of days, I've been under the ground more than a groundhog.
00:55:35Come on. Not too much noise.
00:55:50Now, this is where we separate.
00:55:53Uh, Mr. Chan, did I hear you say separate?
00:55:55Yes.
00:55:55Tunnel, you take tunnel to right.
00:55:57Okay, Pop.
00:55:57I go straight ahead. Birmingham, you take tunnel to left.
00:56:00Uh, Mr. Chan, can we have times out in the auger at that point?
00:56:02No, we cannot.
00:56:03We must cover all tunnels as quickly as possible.
00:56:06I am very pressing because Keith's now rapidly reaching conclusion.
00:56:10If you see something, call out.
00:56:12Call out?
00:56:12Well, whatever happened to yelling and screaming?
00:56:14Please, commence.
00:56:16Yes, I'll do it, but my heart ain't in it.
00:56:18Tommy.
00:56:30What am I doing down here?
00:56:32Why, did I stay home?
00:56:34Yeah, I'm all alone down here, and Mr. Chan and I'm all gone and left.
00:56:38Good gracious.
00:56:39What am I doing in here?
00:56:40Mm, mm, mm.
00:56:59Oh, boy, a railroad track.
00:57:03Oh, but ain't no train coming, cause if you do, it's gonna be a tight squeeze.
00:57:10Oh, plate with me.
00:57:10Oh, well, of course, I'm halfway up.
00:57:11Oh, well, of course, the O.S.
00:57:35Oh, I could have been reading from the other night rather than me, To Beaver.
00:58:11Oh, I done found another one.
00:58:14Mr. Chan.
00:58:18Mr. Chan.
00:58:21Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
00:58:24Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
00:58:26Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
00:58:28This place is crowded. Let me out of here.
00:58:31Mr. Chan!
00:58:35Mr. Chan!
00:58:38Somebody come in.
00:58:40Mr. Chan! Where's anybody?
00:58:41Just anybody?
00:58:43I want to see your father.
00:58:44Stop it! Stop it!
00:58:46You shout loud enough to wake sleeping dead.
00:58:48Mr. Chan, that's just what I done.
00:58:49You saw what?
00:58:50A body over there.
00:58:51Some drape all down in pajamas, all wrapped up and ready to be delivered.
00:58:55Pajamas wrapped up?
00:58:56Yes, all in the eyes.
00:58:57Good. You show us.
00:58:58Oh, yes, sir. I'll show you.
00:59:00Wait a minute, Tommy.
00:59:01You go ahead on and show them.
00:59:01You got a better light than I am.
00:59:03Go ahead.
00:59:03Now, come on, Mr. Chan.
00:59:04I'll show you.
00:59:04Come on.
00:59:07They're going down the south shaft.
00:59:09Let's cut across and keep an eye on them.
00:59:18There he is. Right in there, Mr. Chan. Right in that cart.
00:59:21Birmingham, this is no time for foolish play. Where's Buddy?
00:59:23Well, it's right in there.
00:59:24Uh-oh. Well, it was in there.
00:59:26You sure you saw it?
00:59:28Mr. Chan, when it comes to the corpse, I do not make a mistake.
00:59:30Very strange. Dead men cannot walk.
00:59:33Well, we can run. Come on. Let's go.
00:59:34You know, believe that dead man, probably Mr. Manning.
00:59:38The man who had the accident?
00:59:39Yes. Also, think it necessary. We immediately go to Manning Ranch.
00:59:42Come. There's way out this way.
00:59:44That's the best thing that I can do is get out.
00:59:48Well, he went there.
00:59:55The car. Let's fill it up and push it down.
01:00:05Kick out that stop.
01:00:14Hey, Pop. Look. There's a truck loose.
01:00:20Let's go.
01:00:21Go.
01:00:39Mr. Chan, you're talking about a shave. That's the closest shave I ever did have.
01:00:42You said it, Birmingham.
01:00:44Must hasten and get Lieutenant Mike, and then go immediately to Manning Ranch.
01:00:48Case rapidly approaching climax when attempt life of Charlie Chan.
01:00:51And associates.
01:00:52Yes. Come.
01:00:53Yes, sir.
01:01:01Wait a minute, Lieutenant Mike, please.
01:01:04Think it better if Charlie Chan go in alone to avoid suspicion.
01:01:07We'll give signal if necessary.
01:01:09Okay, Charlie.
01:01:20Gee, I hope Pop isn't walking into anything.
01:01:22Don't worry, Tommy. Your father will be all right.
01:01:25Why put your head into a lion's mouth?
01:01:44Oh, come in, Mr. Chan.
01:01:50Any new developments?
01:01:50Yes. Have just come from mine. Your father is...
01:01:57Yes. Dad's still unconscious.
01:02:00Pardon, please. You say father's still unconscious?
01:02:03I was just in there a moment ago.
01:02:05Oh, I know there isn't much you can do as long as he's in this coma.
01:02:09But is there no answer to this mystery?
01:02:12Possibly more progress made than can be imagined.
01:02:17Patience are best plan in matters of this kind.
01:02:20I suppose so.
01:02:21Yes.
01:02:22Have very keen desire to see father.
01:02:26Of course.
01:02:29Just a moment.
01:02:30Yes.
01:02:33Hello?
01:02:35Yes.
01:02:37Sister Teresa.
01:02:39Hold the phone, please.
01:02:44Excuse me.
01:02:46Yes.
01:02:52Sister.
01:02:54Sister.
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:04You want it on the telephone.
01:03:18Hello.
01:03:19Please do keep eye on sister.
01:03:27Yes, this is Sister Teresa talking.
01:03:29That Chinaman was in the mine tonight.
01:03:32They tell me you found it.
01:03:33What?
01:03:34I told you to be careful.
01:03:35If something like...
01:03:41Yes.
01:03:42I'm so sorry to hear that.
01:03:44Yes.
01:03:45Yes.
01:03:56Yes.
01:03:57Yes.
01:03:57Yes.
01:03:58Yes.
01:03:59Yes.
01:04:00Yes.
01:04:02Yes.
01:04:04Yes.
01:04:07Yes.
01:04:12Yes.
01:04:13Yes.
01:04:14You look like Mr. Munning suddenly gets very long hair.
01:04:18Stand back.
01:04:25That did it. Uh-oh. Here we go again.
01:04:44Come on. Get up out of there.
01:04:47Well, thank you, Lieutenant Mike.
01:04:50Arrive in nick of time, as usual.
01:04:52Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:53Yes, Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:56Well, now can safely say
01:04:59that proof of identity throws dazzling light on an entire mystery.
01:05:03But... but what happened to Father? Where is he?
01:05:07I'm very sorry to have to inform that honored Father,
01:05:11Mr. Munning, no longer alive,
01:05:14was found by diligent chauffeur of Chan
01:05:17in mine tunnel early this evening,
01:05:19but body spirited away by gang.
01:05:23Then Mrs. Driscoll impressed into impersonation
01:05:27to make Plot reach successful conclusion.
01:05:30Then Driscoll's our man. He's the head of the whole gang.
01:05:33Oh, Tommy will please answer telephone.
01:05:36I'm expecting important message.
01:05:45Hello?
01:06:05Okay, Captain Gonzales. That's fine. I'll tell him.
01:06:18Well, ladies, afraid the masquerade party over. Sorry.
01:06:23I'd better go out and round up Driscoll.
01:06:25Yes, do so.
01:06:26Drop that gun.
01:06:28No, Lieutenant Mike. Drop it.
01:06:31Very clever, Mr. Chan.
01:06:34All right, Margaret and Jenny, let's get out of here.
01:06:37Put him up.
01:06:41Thanks.
01:06:42Good work, number two son.
01:06:44Get over there. Go on.
01:06:49Captain Gonzales called.
01:06:50They grabbed the last shipment of gold at the mine
01:06:51and traced it to its origin.
01:06:53Good. And all evildoers now repose
01:06:55in arms of Mexican Border Patrol?
01:06:56Yeah.
01:06:57You're not going to pin all this on me, Chan.
01:07:01Where's that gun? I'll get that here.
01:07:15Did you see Driscoll?
01:07:16Yeah, I shot him while he was trying to make his getaway.
01:07:28Well, that takes care of him.
01:07:39What happened to Mr. Driscoll?
01:07:40Bartlett shot him while he was trying to escape.
01:07:44Tommy.
01:07:46Law Kerjee Chai'n?
01:07:48Hold that.
01:07:50Well, that's that, Charlie.
01:07:52Looks like we wound up in another case.
01:07:54Driscoll was at the bottom of the whole thing.
01:07:56Uh, contradiction, please.
01:07:57Sorry to disagree, but this are not so.
01:08:01Real murderer and brains of whole gang are young Mr. Bartlett.
01:08:05Talbot!
01:08:07Yes.
01:08:08Mr. Bartlett, only one in possession of real identity
01:08:11of Charlie Chan from beginning.
01:08:13Very eager to help Charlie Chan.
01:08:15Also, very eager to lead activities
01:08:18up wrong channels at all times.
01:08:20Mr. Bartlett, number one suspect from very first.
01:08:23Also, possessor of very ambitious plan to wed Miss Manning
01:08:28and thus gain control of whole Goldeneye mine
01:08:30after unfortunate accident to father.
01:08:33But that can't be true, Mr. Chan.
01:08:35Unfortunately, yes.
01:08:37Mr. Bartlett, also murderer of aged prospector
