00:02:27Yes, Mr. Chan. I'm sorry to bring you out on such a beastly night.
00:02:31Problems, Riley. Wait for clearing weather.
00:02:34That's exactly why I need your help.
00:02:37I'm under strict orders to remain undercover, but ever since I came aboard the ship...
00:02:50Yes?
00:02:51Since I've been aboard, two attempts have been made to kill me.
00:02:55You work for government?
00:02:56I'm Scott Pearson, sir. Agent for the United States Treasury Department.
00:03:00Oh. One of its most important agents, I should say.
00:03:03Charmed to meet you, Mr. Pearson.
00:03:05Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:03:07I've been assigned to investigate this hot money that's appeared among the islands.
00:03:10Hot money?
00:03:11Yes. It's loot from the Philippines.
00:03:13Our treasure's worth millions and currency in large bills.
00:03:16Someone aboard has discovered my purpose and is trying to.
00:03:21Oh, sorry. Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:03:24Say, it's a regular pea soup, right?
00:03:25You did it.
00:03:26I understand the show's starting in the salon.
00:03:28Not going to miss it, are you?
00:03:29I expect the show will be more entertaining than fog.
00:03:33Well, see you inside.
00:03:34Yeah.
00:03:49That was meant for me, Mr. Chan.
00:03:51Perhaps.
00:03:53Could have been accident.
00:04:01You were right. This rope has been cut.
00:04:04We'd better go to my cabin.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07No better opportunity than during show to observe all persons on board.
00:04:11Come with me.
00:04:12Whatever you say, Mr. Chan.
00:04:14No.
00:04:18No.
00:04:31No.
00:04:35No.
00:04:36No.
00:04:36No.
00:04:36No.
00:04:36No, no.
00:04:36No, no.
00:04:36No, no.
00:04:46I'll tell you, we was on Route 66 one night, and the fog was so thick, you couldn't see
00:04:51your hair in that fur before you.
00:04:54What's wrong?
00:04:57Who you spying on now?
00:04:59Oh, I wasn't spying.
00:05:01What are you peeping in there for?
00:05:02Oh, I was looking for Pop.
00:05:04I thought he might be inside.
00:05:05Oh, that's different.
00:05:12Ladies and gentlemen, the show about to start is a time-honored ritual on all ships crossing
00:05:18the equator.
00:05:19We cross the line tonight.
00:05:21When the curtain goes up, we shall all be in King Neptune's court.
00:05:26Now, several neophytes who have never crossed the equator before are in the audience.
00:05:31They'll be tried before this great tribunal, this high marine authority, King Neptune himself.
00:05:38Deep down at the bottom of the azure seas, Davy Jones' locker rests in mud and slime, but
00:05:44it is always open to receive those whom Neptune sends.
00:05:47No one knows what Neptune will say or do.
00:05:50Oh!
00:06:02This is Brace, the purser.
00:06:04Get me the captain, quick.
00:06:06A knife in his back.
00:06:07Where's Dr. Whipple, the missionary?
00:06:09Captain, will you come down to the salon right away?
00:06:10Quick.
00:06:11Dr. Martin, maybe you can help.
00:06:13George, who is he?
00:06:15Traitor, corporate traitor, I think.
00:06:17I'm a doctor of science, not of medicine.
00:06:19Man is dead.
00:06:22Did you see what I saw?
00:06:23Yes, I saw what you seen.
00:06:25Wait a minute.
00:06:26Where are you going?
00:06:27I'm going in to help Pop.
00:06:28A man's been killed.
00:06:29That's what I mean.
00:06:30What do you mean, that's what I mean?
00:06:31Just what I said.
00:06:33And I don't want to be hanging around no one that's dead.
00:06:35Well, you stay here.
00:06:35I'm going to help Pop.
00:06:36Oh, wait a minute.
00:06:37You're going to wish.
00:06:42Pardon me.
00:06:52Mr. Brace, call the doctor.
00:06:54I've already called him, sir.
00:06:55He's on his way.
00:06:55Mr. Chan, will you take charge?
00:06:56Yes, Captain.
00:06:57First, suggest you allow no one to leave salon.
00:07:00No one can leave salon until Mr. Chan releases you.
00:07:03Mr. Brace, you will take charge.
00:07:05Very well, sir.
00:07:05Come with me, Captain.
00:07:11Assistant will remain here and keep vigilant eye open.
00:07:15Okay, Pop.
00:07:28Room has been ransacked, Captain.
00:07:33Most unfortunate.
00:07:35Scott Pearson's paper is already gone.
00:07:37But his portfolio is in my safe.
00:07:40He gave it to me yesterday.
00:07:41Oh, that is good.
00:07:43You had his confidence then?
00:07:45To a certain extent, yes.
00:07:47I had instructions not to reveal his identity.
00:07:50When did he first decide to speak to me?
00:07:53Only this evening.
00:07:54He expected to do most of his work in Samoa.
00:07:56It was only after we left Honolulu that he became worried.
00:08:00Did you know about this United States currency,
00:08:03this hot money supposed to be cheap commodity on market?
00:08:08Yes, I heard a lot of talk among the islands.
00:08:10His portfolio is bound to have all the information.
00:08:13Mr. Chan, you should take over his work.
00:08:16Very sorry, but previous commitments in Sydney, Australia
00:08:20would prevent my remaining in Samoa for a long time.
00:08:25However, I shall carry on investigation of his murder.
00:08:30We will question people in Salon at once.
00:08:34Come with me.
00:08:41I took the liberty of removing the body, Mr. Chan.
00:08:44The ladies, here is the murder weapon.
00:08:47You are sure no one left Salon?
00:08:49No one, except the two men of the crew who carried out the body.
00:08:52I'll go.
00:08:54Sorry.
00:08:55Excuse, please.
00:08:57No one is permitted to leave Salon.
00:09:02Excuse me.
00:09:07Sir, my wife and I are accredited members of the London Society.
00:09:12Surely you wouldn't wish to embarrass us further.
00:09:14You had left seats when an unfortunate gentleman was killed.
00:09:18Oh, this is preposterous.
00:09:19To imagine that we could learn to throw knives.
00:09:22Well, it's a sense this guy who got himself killed wasn't no traitor.
00:09:25I've been around these islands for years.
00:09:28You have knowledge, Mr. Burke?
00:09:29Why, sure.
00:09:30There's a dozen people on this boat could have thrown a knife like that.
00:09:32I could have tossed it myself.
00:09:34So?
00:09:35I said I could have tossed it, but I didn't.
00:09:38My firm will vouch for me, Mr. Chan.
00:09:41Cotton goods or American cotton mills.
00:09:43I'm introducing cotton shirts to the Polynesians.
00:09:46There's millions in it.
00:09:47And say, I figured that knife must have been thrown.
00:09:50I would appreciate enlightenment.
00:09:52Why, sure, somebody in the crew tossed that one.
00:09:56You look for a knocker or a melanesian.
00:09:59That's your man.
00:10:00Where are you bound now, Mr. Burke?
00:10:02Some more, my first stop.
00:10:04Mr. Chan.
00:10:06Doctor and Mrs. Martin are nervous and upset already.
00:10:09Surely their credentials are enough.
00:10:10Dr. Martin's a member of the International Society of Ichthyologists.
00:10:14I've been his assistant for two years.
00:10:15Harold!
00:10:16I can speak for myself.
00:10:19If Mr. Chan is suspicious of us, we shall gladly stay for the grilling.
00:10:24No suspicions.
00:10:25Investigation too young as yet.
00:10:28Your destination is Samoa, Professor?
00:10:32Correct.
00:10:32I established an ichthyological museum there six years ago.
00:10:36But the war came along and my work was interrupted.
00:10:38But I said I would return and I am returning.
00:10:42Mr. Chan.
00:10:44That's all true.
00:10:46I've lived in Pango all my life.
00:10:47Your business is...
00:10:49I'm a trader.
00:10:50Just back from Honolulu.
00:10:52Buying trip.
00:10:53You do not travel alone, Mr. Erickson.
00:10:56My wife's in a state room.
00:10:57Ill of a headache.
00:10:59Mr. Chan, I gave Mrs. Erickson a pill for her headache.
00:11:02Before or during show, Doctor?
00:11:04Just when it started.
00:11:06Lady, require any further ministrations which prevented you from witnessing show tonight?
00:11:12I've been a ship's doctor for 25 years, Mr. Chan.
00:11:14I've seen many such shows.
00:11:16After attending Mrs. Erickson, I went to my cabin.
00:11:18There were no other calls until this one.
00:11:20Mr. Erickson, your wife's still too ill to join us here?
00:11:25Tao!
00:11:31What's gone wrong, Tao?
00:11:33It's all right, honey.
00:11:34It doesn't concern us.
00:11:36You are feeling better, Mrs. Erickson?
00:11:38A little.
00:11:39Stuart told me something had happened.
00:11:41I thought I'd better be near Tao.
00:11:43Quite right.
00:11:45There is old saying.
00:11:46Good wife's place should be at mate's elbow in time of trouble.
00:11:52Are any other passengers for Samoa?
00:11:55Mr. Chan, I am for Samoa.
00:11:59Oh, yes, Miss Simmons.
00:12:00May I ask your business?
00:12:02I'm going to Apia, the Robert Louis Stevenson shrine.
00:12:06Tourist?
00:12:07Well, yes, I suppose so.
00:12:09May I vouch for Miss Simmons, sir?
00:12:11Mr. Brace has sailed with me twice.
00:12:12Pursor.
00:12:13Highly reputable.
00:12:14Reliable.
00:12:14Thank you, Captain.
00:12:15If you'll allow me, Mr. Chan, I can vouch for Miss Simmons.
00:12:17I would appreciate private conversation with both of you sometime tomorrow.
00:12:22No cause for alarm.
00:12:24I may question all Samoa passengers in private.
00:12:28Mr. Kirk, please.
00:12:30One moment before you go.
00:12:38Yes, Mr. Chan?
00:12:40Your destination is Samoa?
00:12:42No, sir.
00:12:43I'm bound for Suba, Wellington, Sydney.
00:12:47Change ships at Suba.
00:12:49Sure business?
00:12:50Right, sir.
00:12:51About Miss Simmons, she's staying at my place at Pango.
00:12:55A two weeks vacation with us.
00:12:57Booked from Honolulu.
00:12:59Mr. Erickson and I would be glad to vouch for her, Mr. Chan.
00:13:03No suspicion.
00:13:04Merely routine inquiry.
00:13:06I always say watch these quiet ones.
00:13:09By Jiminy, you never know who toss a knife in here these days.
00:13:11But leave it to a big detective to figure fast.
00:13:14Like I always say, you pick the most innocent-looking one, you got the killer.
00:13:19And believe me, a dame can hide a knife like nobody's business.
00:13:23Are you referring to Miss Simmons, sir?
00:13:24When the shoe fits, I always say put it on.
00:13:27Burke, you'll apologize for that.
00:13:28Don't, George.
00:13:29Please.
00:13:30Don't make a scene.
00:13:30Mr. Brace, remember your position.
00:13:33I'm sorry, sir.
00:13:34Mr. Brace, there will be no more questions for tonight.
00:13:38Everyone may leave Salon.
00:13:40All go.
00:13:41Go.
00:13:42No further opportunity for show tonight.
00:13:58Samoa passengers all seem very congenial.
00:14:02Each one have very good excuse for other.
00:14:05Lots of vouching going on, all right.
00:14:16George, you've had nothing to eat all morning.
00:14:18That's no good, you know.
00:14:19George, I'm too worried to eat.
00:14:21The whole thing's turned into a nightmare.
00:14:24And besides, I've caused you so much trouble.
00:14:27Oh, I'd like to chuck the whole thing.
00:14:29Now, listen, young lady.
00:14:30We're in this thing together, and we're going to see it through together, remember?
00:14:34Remember our promise?
00:14:37On a matter of days, hours, it'll all be finished.
00:14:40Yes, but, George, I'm so afraid of what Mr. Chan might find out about us.
00:14:45That's exactly what I want to talk to you about.
00:14:49Now, Chan tries to question you alone.
00:14:54Good morning, Mr. Chan.
00:14:58Good morning.
00:15:00Will you both please come to my cabin soon after lunch for quiet talk?
00:15:04Very, very important.
00:15:07Yes, Mr. Chan.
00:15:08Thank you so much.
00:15:12George, do you suppose Mr. Chan's found out anything?
00:15:17I really don't know.
00:15:19It's too early to say.
00:15:21But, Rona, when he questions you, remember.
00:15:23You know absolutely nothing.
00:15:25That's our only safe course now.
00:15:30I understand.
00:15:31I understand.
00:15:36Oh, Captain.
00:15:38Here's Scott Pearson's portfolio.
00:15:41You have examined Scott Pearson's papers, Captain?
00:15:44No, Mr. Chan.
00:15:45I was leaving that for you.
00:15:51Does it say how the hot money got loose?
00:15:54Oh, ruthless process of war.
00:15:59Renegades raid the cash and steal the loot at end of war.
00:16:04A man named Lane vaguely mentioned here.
00:16:07Man named Lane and islands of Samoa seem to be only clue.
00:16:12Pearson must have thought the stuff was taken to Samoa.
00:16:14That is first concrete clue, Captain.
00:16:18Tiger going away from village is never feared.
00:16:23Unfortunate agent's murder is proof he was approaching prey.
00:16:30Hello?
00:16:30Send the doctor over right away.
00:16:32There's a very sick man here.
00:16:33Yeah, uh-huh.
00:16:34Cabin 8.
00:16:35Please hurry.
00:16:40Hey, Jim.
00:16:41Let me see how I look.
00:16:42No, you stay in that bed and lie quiet.
00:16:44The doctor's coming right over.
00:16:56Oh, and we'll show Pop how modern criminology works.
00:17:00Come in.
00:17:02Oh, doctor, I'm sure glad you came.
00:17:04He's a very sick man.
00:17:06He keeps begging for water.
00:17:11Can I have some water?
00:17:19Oh, I'm sorry.
00:17:46This is hydrophobia deformance.
00:17:49Prognosis uncertain.
00:17:51Therapy indicates immediate removal of the liver.
00:17:58What are you going to do, doc?
00:17:59So, doc?
00:18:00We'll see.
00:18:06Now, now, don't worry.
00:18:08This isn't going to hurt you.
00:18:09I know it ain't, doc, because I ain't going to be here.
00:18:12Good-bye.
00:18:16Good-bye.
00:18:42Not accusingly, you understand, but merely as matter of information.
00:18:48Who is Mr. Lane?
00:18:50Do either of you know man named Lane?
00:18:53I've never even heard of the man before.
00:18:55Believe me, Mr. Chan, neither of us knows anything about this Mr. Lane.
00:19:00Is either of you no identity of murdered man?
00:19:03We never saw the man before this cruise.
00:19:06I'm inclined to believe what you say, but I think you knew killer.
00:19:11Mr. Chan, I swear, on everything I ever believed in, we know nothing about it.
00:19:16Inclined to help you if you wish to speak truth.
00:19:21Mr. Chan, there is something that I...
00:19:25Rona, Mr. Chan, can't you see there's no use torturing her?
00:19:29Guilty minds sometimes pinch worse than ancient boot of torture.
00:19:33For 30 minutes, you have both evaded direct questions.
00:19:37When we reach Samoa, I may be forced to detain you.
00:19:41Oh, you can't do that, Mr. Chan.
00:19:43Then you wish to tell all you know?
00:19:47There's nothing we can tell you.
00:19:50Interview ended for today.
00:20:09Oh, Pop.
00:20:10Say, I got the doctor's fingerprints from the doorknob,
00:20:13but I couldn't find anything on the murder weapon.
00:20:15Many persons have handled that knife since killer.
00:20:19But, Pop, all modern detectives take fingerprints.
00:20:22Only old-fashioned criminals leave such evidence behind.
00:20:27I wish you would be here after dinner.
00:20:30Where is other criminologists?
00:20:32Oh, he's in touch.
00:20:33We got a plan to fingerprint everybody on board.
00:20:36Get hold of him, and both of you be here after dinner.
00:20:39I may have use for your specialty.
00:20:41Oh, you mean find some fingerprints?
00:20:42On contrary, find no prints, and confirm theory.
00:20:55Chop Suey 108, calling Porkchop 7-11.
00:20:58Come in. Over.
00:20:59Porkchop 7-11, receiving Chop Suey 108.
00:21:03Over.
00:21:04What's he doing now? Come in. Over.
00:21:06He ain't doing nothing now.
00:21:07Uh-oh, he's gone.
00:21:09He disappeared.
00:21:10Well, tail him. Tail him everywhere he goes.
00:21:12Come in. Over.
00:21:13I'll tail him to the bottom of the sea.
00:21:16Okay. Roger.
00:21:44Do that, man.
00:21:47Speak up. What you trying to do? Spire on me?
00:21:50I ain't spying on you. I'm detecting.
00:21:52Detecting?
00:22:00What you mean, detecting? Explain yourself. Detecting who?
00:22:05Well, you see, I ain't after you. We're after the killer.
00:22:09You see, I'm Mr. Charlie Chan's first... I mean, second assistant.
00:22:13I think I'll give Mr. Charlie Chan some work to do.
00:22:16Yes, but, uh, ain't you the man that washes the glasses at the bar?
00:22:21What if I is?
00:22:23Well, you see, Mr. Jim is the first assistant, and he's got a job for you to do.
00:22:28That's what he's saying a little while ago.
00:22:30Only money talks.
00:22:32Listen, if the cook had caught you right here, he'll skin you alive anyhow.
00:22:36So show me to the job. Come on.
00:22:42I'm worried, Harold. Worried? What are you worried about?
00:22:45Oh, the way these detectives go snooping around the boat.
00:22:47Why, Mr. Chan might even stop us from going ashore.
00:22:50Well, I wouldn't worry about it. He won't bother us.
00:23:05How are you, folks? Haven't seen that Vaudible guy, have you?
00:23:09Have you seen him?
00:23:11No, sorry. Haven't seen him.
00:23:13This murder now, the way I figured, the guy was killed in a trading deal.
00:23:17That actor about Kirk, he knows something.
00:23:21Oh, sorry.
00:23:28And that person and his girl, they ain't as innocent as they look.
00:23:32If you don't mind, Mr. Burke, my wife and I wish to be alone.
00:23:36Oh, kind of unsociable, ain't you?
00:23:38Yeah, an alibi's always a perfect front.
00:23:41A perfect front for them that need it.
00:23:43And the way I figured, we're all in the same boat.
00:23:46Or on the same boat, anyhow.
00:23:52Like the fellow said, we ought to cooperate.
00:23:54Now, somebody on this boat killed that traitor.
00:23:57If he was a traitor.
00:23:58I'm sure that is outside our province.
00:24:04And another thing.
00:24:06There's something behind this besides a trading row.
00:24:09Why, the islands are flooded with hot money.
00:24:11You can buy a 10 grand bill for five U.S. currency.
00:24:14That's what's behind this killing hot money.
00:24:18Hey, Kirk.
00:24:21I want to see you, man.
00:24:26Oh, sorry.
00:24:27Oh, excuse me, Mr. Chan.
00:24:28Say, how's the murder coming?
00:24:31Investigation proceeding.
00:24:37Good afternoon.
00:24:38Good afternoon, Mr. Chan.
00:24:40Good afternoon, Mr. Chan.
00:24:40Afternoon.
00:24:40Good afternoon, Mr. Chan.
00:24:42No, thank you.
00:24:42We'll have tea in the salon.
00:24:45No, thank you.
00:24:47Steward, please serve my dinner in my cabin.
00:24:51Serve early.
00:24:52I have much work and study.
00:25:09What's Mr. Chan up to now?
00:25:10He's setting a trap.
00:25:12A trap?
00:25:13What kind of trap?
00:25:14Miles' trap?
00:25:15No, you dope.
00:25:16He's setting a trap for the killer.
00:25:17The killer?
00:25:18What are we standing here for?
00:25:20Quiet place.
00:25:21Lights out.
00:25:32Shh.
00:25:33Keep still.
00:25:34I need to sleep.
00:25:35I wish you were asleep.
00:25:37Me too.
00:25:55Hey, Pop!
00:25:56Look out!
00:25:58Hey, Pop!
00:26:08Gee, Pop!
00:26:09You sure gave us a scare.
00:26:11Man, I got butterflies.
00:26:14We'll now look for...
00:26:17No fingerprints.
00:26:19But say, Pop, when you planted this, why didn't you let us know?
00:26:22We could have caught the guy right outside the door.
00:26:24What do you mean we could have caught him?
00:26:25You mean you could have caught him?
00:26:27Include me out.
00:26:28Experiment not entirely success.
00:26:30I expected door to open and knife be thrown in.
00:26:33Thought perhaps might catch glimpse of killer's hand.
00:26:36But killer expert, throw knife through two-inch slap.
00:26:42Phew!
00:26:42What an aim.
00:26:43But, Pop, we really could have caught him.
00:26:45Hmm.
00:26:46Hasty man could also drink tea with pork.
00:26:49Here.
00:26:49Smart son will use specially on a knife handle.
00:26:53You mean fingerprints, Pop?
00:26:54Right.
00:26:55Boy, we'll find them.
00:27:00Hey, look, Pop.
00:27:01We've got fingerprints of almost everybody on board.
00:27:04Excellent collection.
00:27:06Perhaps after a while, number two son be able to take up stamps.
00:27:15Well?
00:27:16What?
00:27:16Look, Pop.
00:27:17It's been wiped off with oil.
00:27:19It's been wiped off and never touched afterwards.
00:27:23Gloves.
00:27:25Perhaps knife never touched by human hands.
00:27:28Mr. Chan, you mean that spook come through them little slats and stabbed that dummy in the back?
00:27:32No, he used gloves to throw it.
00:27:35The spook did?
00:27:36No.
00:27:39Perhaps knife not thrown.
00:27:42Uh, in phraseology of Euclid, X over Y equal proposition still unsolved.
00:27:53Hey, Jimmy.
00:27:54What has Euclid got to do with it?
00:27:56Nothing.
00:27:57He's a Greek mathematician.
00:27:58But he's dead.
00:27:59Dead?
00:28:00Well, what's he got to do with the case being unsolved?
00:28:02Well, if he hasn't...
00:28:06I still don't get it.
00:28:10Oh, good evening.
00:28:11Good evening.
00:28:12This is the last night dance, Mr. Chan.
00:28:15You're not gonna miss it, are you?
00:28:16Oh, no.
00:28:17May offer humble self as candidate for waltz.
00:28:20Tao has first.
00:28:21Wifely duty.
00:28:23After that, the pleasure will be mine.
00:28:24I'll even skip the duty.
00:28:26Everybody's guessing on the murder, Mr. Chan.
00:28:28Laurel will pump you for the latest news.
00:28:30Tao.
00:28:31I'll see you later, Mr. Chan.
00:28:33Okay.
00:28:37I wouldn't put her to pass them either.
00:28:39Captain, if you put everyone into brig whom you suspect,
00:28:43you soon would require very large brig.
00:28:53Would you care to dance, Mrs. Martin?
00:28:55Oh, I'd love to.
00:28:57Do you mind, dear?
00:28:59What's that?
00:29:00Oh, no, no, no.
00:29:01Go right ahead.
00:29:29Miss Una, Mr. Borges want to see you.
00:29:40Just like my husband's father.
00:29:43He was Swedish.
00:29:44taught Tal's mother to polka, and she was Polynesian.
00:29:48Each country's dance, most beautiful dance in that particular country.
00:29:54But our Polynesian Siva Siva seems loveliest to me, Mr. Chan.
00:30:01Oh, very beautiful.
00:30:04Has just tinge of oriental.
00:30:08We'll hold the Siva Siva the first night.
00:30:11Will you be going ashore, Mr. Chan?
00:30:14Our ship will remain in port 24 hours.
00:30:18Expect to be able to come ashore and take advantage of your hospitality.
00:30:23Well, good. Then we'll have a real Polynesian party.
00:30:55Got any gossip, honey?
00:30:58Mr. Chan is a marvelous dancer.
00:31:01It's been a very great pleasure, Mrs. Erickson.
00:31:07Let's...
00:31:21Let's go.
00:31:21Get the girl the message.
00:31:22She comes soon.
00:31:23Okay, that's all. Beat it.
00:31:25You'll pay me. You promise.
00:31:27You'll get yours.
00:31:30Listen, you. Another crack like that and you'll be sharp, mate.
00:31:34No rough stuff, Burke.
00:31:35Watch it, boy. One whisper out of you and...
00:31:38You'll pay me. Bye and bye soon.
00:31:40Sure, he'll take care of you, Pete, after a while.
00:31:41One word to anyone in this boat and you go over side, you savvy.
00:31:44I'll slit you from end to end.
00:31:46It's dead. Coming down.
00:31:48Okay, beat it, Pete.
00:31:53Are you sure the purser didn't see you come out here to meet us?
00:31:56Quite sure, since your threat to blackmail me and Mr. Brace.
00:31:59Oh, that's an ugly word.
00:32:01Let's just say a redistribution of wealth, eh?
00:32:04Come on, hand over, miss.
00:32:10Well?
00:32:11I haven't got it with me.
00:32:12Well, where is it?
00:32:13It's in the purser's safe.
00:32:15I'd have no excuse to get it until we're in port.
00:32:17Well, when we do get in port, you better be sure to get it, if you know it's good for
00:32:21you.
00:32:21You have my word.
00:32:22Okay, you keep your word and we'll keep your secret.
00:32:26That's fair enough, isn't it?
00:32:28I'll give it to you when we get ashore.
00:32:31And that's all I can promise.
00:32:32Well, watch your step, sister. No tricks.
00:32:34I know a few of them myself.
00:32:50What's the matter, Rona?
00:32:51You look pale as a ghost.
00:32:53Oh, it's nothing, darling.
00:32:54I'm all right.
00:32:56It's just nerves, I guess.
00:33:14Have you got any further on the case tonight, Mr. Chan?
00:33:17Very little further, Captain.
00:33:20Although I have investigated intelligently, I hope, still, I have no wish to work fast, not alarm quarry.
00:33:29I keep forgetting that the murder is only part of the case.
00:33:32Say, Mr. Chan, have you thought of the Whipples?
00:33:35Oh, I know their papers are in good shape, but if you say the word...
00:33:40Captain, you are not thinking of putting the Whipples in your brain, are you?
00:33:56Hey, Freddy.
00:33:57Come.
00:33:58Have you seen him?
00:33:59No.
00:34:00We've got to put the guayers on the kanaka.
00:34:02He knows too much.
00:34:03Can't you get by without that stuff, Burke?
00:34:05Are you kidding?
00:34:06One peep out of the kanaka and the whole thing is cooked.
00:34:08Come on.
00:34:08Let's find him.
00:34:09Well, all right.
00:34:47Come on!
00:34:49Come on!
00:34:52Come on!
00:34:56Hey, Pete!
00:35:03Maroon overboard!
00:35:05Maroon overboard!Π°Π»ΡΠ½ΠΎΠ³ΠΎαΊ£iοΏ½
00:35:12Hey, you sure?
00:35:13Yes, sir.
00:35:14What do you mean, go overboard?
00:35:16I saw him climb on the rail and he just jumped overboard.
00:35:18You mean, Stuart, go over sight of ship of own volition?
00:35:21Yes, sir.
00:35:22Is there island near?
00:35:24Island's here within four or five miles.
00:35:26We're close to our own landfall.
00:35:28That's all.
00:35:29He is deserted.
00:35:31Five-mile swim, mere stroll for terrified Kanaka.
00:35:35We have a motor gate.
00:35:36I could stop and put it over.
00:35:37Ah, unimportant.
00:35:41Kanaka possessed little information but much dangerous knowledge.
00:35:45He swimmed to save own life.
00:35:47You think someone wanted to get him?
00:35:48I'll be glad when we clear Samoa, Mr. Chan.
00:35:51This cruise has been a nightmare.
00:35:52But not a dull one, Captain.
00:36:00I'm telling you, he's as guilty as a weasel in a henhouse.
00:36:03Well, Pop will grab him if he is.
00:36:09Well, he's got a bankroll at a chook of water buffalo.
00:36:12Why not a mule?
00:36:13Ain't no mules where he come from.
00:36:15He come from, uh, he's one of them shoemaker man.
00:36:17A what?
00:36:19Shoemaker on the island, you know.
00:36:20Oh, you mean Jamaica.
00:36:23Well, anyway, it's hard money.
00:36:24I ain't never seen that much coal money in no place at no time.
00:36:28Say, did you see the sizes of the bills?
00:36:30Yeah.
00:36:31He's got a big roll.
00:36:32$50,000 bills.
00:36:34Say, listen.
00:36:35$50,000 bills just don't exist.
00:36:37Well, he did.
00:36:38And his name is Big Ben.
00:36:40And he's got the steers job.
00:36:41He's gonna be carrying the baggage.
00:36:43He is?
00:36:44Yes.
00:36:44Well, tail him.
00:36:45Tail him everywhere he goes.
00:36:46Find out where he bunks.
00:36:47And see if he has any incriminating matter in his effects.
00:36:50Yes.
00:36:51Well, look here, he's got some knives.
00:36:52Them throwing knives.
00:36:54Well, find them and this case is solved.
00:36:56Good.
00:37:08No, no, no.
00:37:09Not those.
00:37:11One small bag, please.
00:37:12Yes, sir.
00:37:14What is this?
00:37:14My equipment, Pop.
00:37:15I gotta have it ashore.
00:37:17But ship remain in Port of Samoa only 24 hours.
00:37:22Sure, but we got a case to solve.
00:37:24With assistance of scientific son should solve case in very short time.
00:37:31Come in.
00:37:33It's from your son, Mr. Chan.
00:37:35Sparks had a bit of trouble with the code, but I hope he got it all okay.
00:37:39Number three, son Tommy usually have trouble with code himself.
00:37:46Miss Simmons' father was banker in Australia,
00:37:50stranded in Manila on way to United States of America with many valuable art objects.
00:37:57Well, that's plain enough.
00:37:58The girl's father hid the stuff.
00:38:00And she's down here to get it on the quiet.
00:38:02Hmm.
00:38:03Kangaroo reaches destination also by leaps and bounds.
00:38:07It's clear to me.
00:38:08No.
00:38:10Oh, there are high stakes in this, Captain.
00:38:12There are gigantic operators behind scheme.
00:38:15I must have more information before I can accuse anyone.
00:38:19Yeah, perhaps you're right, Mr. Chan.
00:38:21But for my part, I'd throw Mr. Brace in the brig and sweat this girl.
00:38:25And flush quarry like quail?
00:38:28Oh, no.
00:38:29Good hunter never break twig underfoot.
00:38:32Uh, how soon we can go ashore?
00:38:34Medical inspection takes about an hour.
00:38:36We should be ashore before dark.
00:38:38Oh, I see.
00:38:39Uh, you will remove those to other cabin.
00:38:43Where is other criminologist?
00:38:45Oh, he's in touch.
00:38:46I sent him on a mission.
00:38:47Round him up and say we go ashore before dark.
00:38:51Okay, Pop.
00:38:52Chop Suey 108 calling Porkchop 711.
00:38:54Come in. Over.
00:38:55I just got in here.
00:38:57I've got to finish this job.
00:38:58We'll call.
00:38:59Roger.
00:39:09While at the end.
00:39:11I'll call him up, what do you want us to be?
00:39:12We'll call him up.
00:39:20All right.
00:39:21All right.
00:39:21him up. I'll call
00:39:21him up. Come back.
00:39:21him up.
00:39:28Oh
00:40:14Some Bible forward a mark prop
00:40:39Rex!
00:40:41Ow!
00:41:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:41:14oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:41:24oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:41:36I shall write a letter to the society on the matter.
00:41:38These islands should have restaurants for people who prefer not to dine in rump shops.
00:41:43No, we'll not return to the boat.
00:41:45We'll dine in the bar.
00:41:47There I can get first-hand information from my report.
00:41:55Good evening, Doctor and Mrs. Whipple.
00:41:58You will dine?
00:42:00You're unaccustomed to dining in bars.
00:42:03However...
00:42:04I'm sure you will enjoy our dinner now this way, please.
00:42:26You will have dinner now, Mr. Chan?
00:42:29Not that moment, thank you.
00:42:30Later.
00:42:34Dinner, Miss Simmons?
00:42:35No, thank you.
00:42:51Observe, little showman, Captain.
00:43:17Where is young lady's fiancΓ©e?
00:43:20Brace or checking his purser accounts.
00:43:22He should be ashore soon.
00:43:29You will come with me, Captain.
00:43:31I have idea which may prove interesting.
00:43:33Sure, thanks, Jack.
00:43:55You think she'll come through with it?
00:43:56Well, sure.
00:43:57What makes you think she won't?
00:43:59Nothing.
00:44:00Just wondering, that's all.
00:44:02Where'd she go?
00:44:04Probably going to a room to get it.
00:44:06What about that purser, Brace?
00:44:08What do I care about Brace?
00:44:10It's the girl I'm dealing with.
00:44:11Look, Burke.
00:44:13Look, you, uh, you go right back on board ship as soon as you get it, huh?
00:44:17I don't need your advice.
00:44:18You'll ring it up to your armpits.
00:44:21I'm merely selling something that Chan was too dumb to see.
00:44:23Please go back on board, Burke.
00:44:25If anybody gets wind of what you're doing...
00:44:26Look, look.
00:44:27Two can pluck one pigeon if it's big enough.
00:44:31Here she comes.
00:44:41Here I am, Miss Simmons.
00:44:44Did you bring it?
00:44:46Yes.
00:44:47Well, hand it over, sister.
00:44:50Will you promise that this will be the last we'll hear of you?
00:44:52Well, maybe, honey.
00:44:54Maybe.
00:44:55Come on, give.
00:45:07This pays better than cotton goods.
00:45:09Wants a sales, but always a sales for you to hold.
00:45:12There's no code of ethics in your field, then.
00:45:14Why, sure.
00:45:16For the dumb ones, maybe.
00:45:17But me, I give my word a step at a time.
00:45:20Not promising too much, not too little.
00:45:23How do I know you can be relied on now?
00:45:26Oh, I'll keep my mouth quiet on my little matter.
00:45:29That's the deal.
00:45:30But I figure there are bigger fish in these waters,
00:45:32and maybe I'll beat a couple more hooks.
00:45:35But as far as George, Mr. Brace and I are concerned.
00:45:38Oh, you're safe, honey.
00:45:39You're safe.
00:45:41P.T. Burke's a man of his word.
00:45:43Careful not to give too much word, is all.
00:45:46Goodbye, Mr. Burke.
00:45:48Not goodbye, honey.
00:45:49Just good night.
00:45:51We'll meet again sometime.
00:45:54Might invite me to the wedding.
00:46:03Would like a few moments' conversation, Mr. Burke.
00:46:06I gotta get back on board.
00:46:07I left my wallet and my cap.
00:46:08You will step inside, please.
00:46:10You will also retain young lady's gift.
00:46:13Inside.
00:46:14All right.
00:46:22Be seated.
00:46:26Look, Mr. Chan, my company, the southern cotton mills, will okay me.
00:46:30You have been fishing in very dangerous waters, Mr. Burke.
00:46:33The gift, please.
00:46:35You, sir.
00:46:39Well, as the old saying is, no harm done till you get caught, huh?
00:46:47Look, Mr. Chan, if you'll just let me go, I promise you I'll...
00:46:50I suggest you talk freely, Mr. Burke.
00:46:53Well, I don't know anything.
00:46:55Oh, I might have been gambling a bit rough, but that's no crime as I see it.
00:46:59It is blackmail.
00:47:00You are on American soil.
00:47:03Well, that's all I know.
00:47:04Then I will talk for you, up to a certain point.
00:47:08On board ship the night the United States government agent was killed...
00:47:12Government agent?
00:47:13I thought he was a traitor.
00:47:15Unfortunately, not a traitor.
00:47:17When he was killed, you assume natural role.
00:47:20Loud talking, bragging, know-it-all.
00:47:23Then suddenly, you change completely.
00:47:27You become furtive.
00:47:29You confer frequently with Freddy Kirk.
00:47:32And with deserting steward, Peeth.
00:47:36During that time, you have gained certain knowledge.
00:47:39Mr. Chan, I'll trade with you.
00:47:42I'll trade what I found out.
00:47:43If you'll just let me go.
00:47:45Excuse, please.
00:47:46I do not trade.
00:47:50On board ship, somehow you learn that Miss Simmons is traveling under false papers.
00:47:55You suspect that Mr. Brace, the purser, has falsified accounts and has smuggled her into the passenger list.
00:48:03You use this knowledge for blackmail.
00:48:05Having begun blackmail, you are soon aware there is something far deeper underneath than merely two lovers falsifying papers in
00:48:15order to be together.
00:48:18Look, look, Miss Chan, I...
00:48:20I don't know nothing.
00:48:22This will ruin me with the company.
00:48:23You begin all of these activities on board ship on the night of the murder.
00:48:29When you have learned someone have borrowed steward's mess coat.
00:48:35Who borrowed the coat?
00:48:36I don't know.
00:48:38Look, Mr. Chan, I got a wife and kids back in the States.
00:48:41Let me go.
00:48:42Who borrowed that coat?
00:48:45All right.
00:48:47If I tell you, will you let me go?
00:48:50We'll consider same.
00:48:51Well?
00:49:15Right through the neck, Mr. Chan.
00:49:17Another one of those knives.
00:49:19This man would have talked.
00:49:20Do you think he knew much?
00:49:22Minor conspirator.
00:49:24What now?
00:49:25Must ask you, Captain, to have Navy services quietly to remove this.
00:49:30Then you will contact Freddy Kirk.
00:49:32Inform him casually that Mr. Burke is dead.
00:49:35Be careful to keep matter secret from the others.
00:49:38If Freddy throws these knives...
00:49:40Hmm.
00:49:40I believe little showman unaware Mr. Burke is dead.
00:49:44With this information, his actions may prove significant.
00:49:47I'll find him.
00:49:49Where will I meet you, Mr. Chan?
00:49:51In the bar.
00:49:52I could delay sailing a few hours if this complicates things.
00:49:54Not necessary, Captain.
00:49:56Believe case will be closed in ample time.
00:49:58If you see number two son Jimmy and my assistant Chattanooga, please ask them to report.
00:50:04Right.
00:50:13He went in there with the watchman.
00:50:14Shh.
00:50:16How'd you know the other guy was a watchman?
00:50:17Well, when I walked in talking to you, he was walking around the building with a big gun strapped on
00:50:21him.
00:50:22Well, how'd you find Big Ben?
00:50:24Well, I'll tell you them from the ship like you told me to.
00:50:27Shh.
00:50:29Ten dollars of American money.
00:50:31Ten dollars of American money.
00:50:32Let me give you one pig.
00:50:34Pig?
00:50:34Man, what the blazes can I do with a pig?
00:50:37Eat.
00:50:38Eat?
00:50:38No fooling, man.
00:50:39You'll make yourself enough money to buy you 50 pigs.
00:50:43He's peddling dice, Chattanooga.
00:50:45Watch for the bankroll.
00:50:46It's hard money.
00:50:47Watch for it.
00:50:48Watch for it.
00:50:54Come, baby.
00:50:55Come, baby.
00:50:56Seven.
00:50:57See?
00:50:59Look.
00:51:00Sevens.
00:51:02That's it.
00:51:03That's it.
00:51:03That's it.
00:51:09Here he comes.
00:51:11All right.
00:51:11Get ready.
00:51:19Stop.
00:51:21Here.
00:51:22Come on.
00:51:23Yeah, I got it.
00:51:23Come on.
00:51:23Go on.
00:51:24Go on.
00:51:28Here.
00:51:36Where are you?
00:51:44Look, Jimmy.
00:51:45Hot money.
00:51:52It's a Kansas City bankroll.
00:51:54Oh, you mean it ain't no good?
00:51:56I thought we was in tomorrow.
00:51:59Come on. Where did they go?
00:52:22You should have told me sooner, Rona. Now we've got to do something.
00:52:24You can't, George. That man will expose you to the company.
00:52:28Mr. Chan.
00:52:29Excuse, please. I would like a brief talk with Miss Simmons.
00:52:33Just a second, Rona. Let me remind you, Mr. Chan, that Miss Simmons has certain rights.
00:52:37You can't legally question her.
00:52:39I merely wish to ask young lady one question and to return her property.
00:52:49Your necklace.
00:52:50Mr. Chan, how did you... I mean, is Mr. Burke in prison?
00:52:55Mr. Burke is dead.
00:52:57Burke? Dead?
00:52:59Simmons' time has come now for truth.
00:53:02You are British and you travel under improper visa.
00:53:05Oh, I can explain about those papers, Mr. Chan.
00:53:08Miss Simmons and I wanted to take this cruise together.
00:53:10We're going to be married soon.
00:53:12Excuse, please. I will do explaining.
00:53:15Miss Simmons is here to locate and identify certain objects of art once stored in banks in Manila.
00:53:22That's right, Mr. Chan. Those things were entrusted to my father.
00:53:25Your father did a noble act, Miss Simmons.
00:53:28He chose rather to save his wife and children than objects of art.
00:53:33For this he was blamed.
00:53:35Oh, you do understand, Mr. Chan. I'll tell you everything.
00:53:39My father's too ill to make the trip and I know art as well as he does.
00:53:42Merely wish one piece of information.
00:53:46Who contacts your father in London and arranged this journey?
00:53:50It was Mr. Kirk. Freddie Kirk.
00:53:53Mr. Chan, is there anything we can do?
00:53:55You will both take special care of yourselves tonight.
00:53:59I will contact you later.
00:54:11Don't you laugh, doesn't it, Mr. Chan?
00:54:13And the funny's just farty.
00:54:15Merely go for strollin' village.
00:54:22Got the shipboard killer yet, Chan?
00:54:25Unfortunately, killer not yet, no.
00:54:27Well, you'll have to hurry before the boat sails.
00:54:31Did you say something, my dear?
00:54:32No, it was Mr. Chan.
00:54:34Tea, please.
00:54:35Mr. Chan?
00:54:37Oh, Mr. Chan, how are you? How are you?
00:54:40Is the drowning still unsolved?
00:54:43Or was it a drowning?
00:54:45Knifing, Professor.
00:54:46Someone threw a blade.
00:54:49Professor's forgetful.
00:54:50That's right, that's right.
00:54:51To be sure, a knife, huh?
00:54:53Here in the salon.
00:54:54But then these islanders are always throwing knives.
00:54:57Require great skill and delicacy to throw a knife of this kind, Professor.
00:55:30Professor.
00:55:35Jimmy?
00:55:37Where's my head?
00:55:38Where's my head?
00:55:38There it is.wickle
00:55:45bit! Shh,
00:55:46quiet! The guard
00:55:47will hear us. This is
00:55:53a fish museum. Lets find
00:55:54a door and get out here!
00:56:19Jimmy?
00:56:21Jimmy?
00:56:52Jimmy, it's got me.
00:56:58It's got me.
00:57:10One of us better go get pop. What do you mean one of us? I ain't gonna leave without you,
00:57:15and you ain't gonna leave without me.
00:57:19Hey, Jimmy, look. What's that?
00:57:25Come on. Let's get out of here.
00:57:34Freddie Kirk found out all right, Mr. Truman. About Burke?
00:57:37Yeah. He was hanging around the veranda when they carried the body out.
00:57:40Good. When next we see Freddie Kirk, pieces of jigsaw puzzle may begin to fit together.
00:57:47What's the move now?
00:57:48Believe Kirk will make the next move through fear. Sit down.
00:58:06Watch closely. They see a clue of interest.
00:58:15Information seems to have upset Mrs. Erickson.
00:58:18Yes.
00:58:20Little showman evidently afraid death hangs over his head.
00:58:33What?
00:58:38Excuse me, Professor. I'll be right back.
00:58:43Good night, Mr. Whipple.
00:59:04Good night.
00:59:04Aren't you going to take in the sea receiver tonight, Mr. Chen?
00:59:07Only three hours till sailing. We'll have no time for show now.
00:59:11Think you can clean up that murder before sailing?
00:59:14Which murder, Mr. Erickson?
00:59:17Yeah, I guess a lot some fella heard of them all.
00:59:32Little showman seems to be in very great hurry.
00:59:35That path lead to Professor Martin's museum.
00:59:37That's right. I figured it was the Martin crowd right from the start.
00:59:40Oh, it's not a good night.
00:59:55Oh, my God!

01:02:34All right, you got your orders. Start packing it up.
01:02:38You been fooling with the stuff, Mayfair?
01:02:39No, of course not.
01:02:40Who opened these boxes?
01:02:41I don't know, but if any harm comes to Mrs. Martin...
01:02:43If it hadn't been for Chan, we wouldn't have had to pull any of this rough stuff.
01:02:46Lane had it figured out that you and the professor would never get wise.
01:02:50But when Lane heard you two were fooling around, we had to move fast.
01:02:53All right, start packing it up.
01:02:54You are rough gone, Mr. Erickson.
01:03:01Are you hurt?
01:03:03Where are others?
01:03:06You'll find it out.
01:03:07You'll find it for yourself, you, you big...
01:03:10Raise your hands, everybody.
01:03:13Now, Lane is too.
01:03:16Get his gun loaded.
01:03:29Mr. Brace, you will cover others and remain here.
01:03:32Yes, sir.
01:03:34Captain, come with me.
01:03:35Ali, see you, Mr. Brace.
01:03:36Please, you!
01:03:36Let's go.
01:04:11Let's go.
01:04:14Stay where you are.
01:04:21Why, Mr. Chan! She's a man!
01:04:24So what?
01:04:29Can you obey it? A man.
01:04:32Quite right, Captain. That is Mr. Joseph Murdoch.
01:04:36Handyman and one-time valet and now supposed wife of Mr. Theodore M. Lane.
01:04:40Why don't you let me get him?
01:04:42Oh. You were supposed to save my life, eh, Mr. Lane?
01:04:46I thank you so much. But why?
01:04:49I was saving you, Chan.
01:04:51After that night in the cabin, I knew you wore a protector back in front.
01:04:54I wanted him to get one in your neck with my compliments.
01:04:56At the time I could cover up right.
01:04:59Thank you so much.
01:05:00But you were entirely wrong about protection back in front.
01:05:04How did you know me?
01:05:06I've been puzzled for many days.
01:05:09And finally tonight in Barham, your supposed wife betray herself as man by walk.
01:05:16Mr. Chan?
01:05:18Excuse me, please.
01:05:22Yes?
01:05:23We can never thank you enough for what you've done.
01:05:25Mere routine line of duty, Miss Simmons.
01:05:28I trust your honorable father's possessions you found intact?
01:05:32As far as I can tell, I think everything's here.
01:05:35Amicable ending to all problems.
01:05:37Even Captain very happy.
01:05:39He now have enough prisoners to fill ship's brig to overflowing.
01:05:46Stan!
01:05:47Look!
01:05:48Hey, Pop!
01:05:49This is how that thing works.
01:05:51Oh, he's home.
