00:02:32¶¶
00:02:37Are you sure there wasn't a letter from me today, Mrs. Fawless?
00:02:40I told you there was none, Miss Petrie. None at all.
00:02:57Why were you in the dining room?
00:03:01I came in the back way as usual.
00:03:04Who are those two men in there?
00:03:05That is my business, Mr. Johnson.
00:03:08Yes. Yes, of course.
00:03:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:24I thought my father had returned.
00:03:29Oh, why don't you stop?
00:03:31Hiya, gorgeous.
00:03:32Oh, you're selling a lot.
00:03:34Not me, Miss Evans, on a swell trip,
00:03:35but I'm glad to get back to where I'm sure of seeing good-looking girls.
00:03:38How are you, June?
00:03:39Yes, sir, it's grand to get back to all you beautiful girls.
00:03:43Uh-oh.
00:03:44Oh, well, we can't all look good.
00:03:47Your laugh, Mr. Danvers,
00:03:49splits more eardrums than a mule's hee-haw.
00:03:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:52From now on, I'll laugh up my sleeve.
00:03:54And probably blow out an elbow.
00:03:56Always giving me the needles.
00:03:57She puts me in stitches.
00:03:58Dad!
00:03:59Excuse me, please.
00:04:02Hello, darling.
00:04:05Well, what's your excuse?
00:04:07Here I pass up a heavy date to have dinner with my father,
00:04:10and he shows up four hours late.
00:04:11Oh, I'm sorry, June, but I couldn't-
00:04:13You tell Miss Harley.
00:04:15Yes, why?
00:04:16Let's go.
00:04:17What do you want me for?
00:04:18For robbing the Citizen State Bank and murdering a guard less than an hour ago.
00:04:22No, you're lying.
00:04:23Dad!
00:04:24Gentlemen, I can prove that you're wrong.
00:04:25Of course.
00:04:26I don't see how with your fingerprints in the bank vault
00:04:28and beside the murdered man.
00:04:30Well, they can't be my fingerprints.
00:04:31For the last four hours,
00:04:32I've been locked up in the Carey theatrical warehouse.
00:04:34Locked up? How?
00:04:35I don't know.
00:04:36I got in all right, but there's nobody there.
00:04:38I started out, but the only door was locked.
00:04:40For four hours?
00:04:42You could have telephoned.
00:04:43I tried to use the telephone, but it was out of order.
00:04:45I can prove what I say.
00:04:48Read this.
00:04:55It's no good, Harley.
00:04:57Get Dave Wyatt.
00:04:58He can prove my innocence.
00:04:59We can't get Wyatt.
00:05:00He's been dead eight years.
00:05:03Wyatt dead?
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05When did you know him?
00:05:06When you were both convicts in state prison 20 years ago?
00:05:09Dad!
00:05:11Tell them you were never in prison.
00:05:13It's true, June.
00:05:14But don't worry.
00:05:16It's all a mistake, as these men will soon learn.
00:05:18I'll be back quickly.
00:05:43I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie.
00:05:45But you never stay long enough.
00:05:46Only come to say goodbye.
00:05:48Government work keep me hopping like dissatisfied flea from dog to dog.
00:05:53Even now, automobile and assistance outside loaded for trip to distant city.
00:05:59Uh, automobile loaded, not assistance.
00:06:02Tony, Dad's final appeal has been denied.
00:06:05Why didn't you tell me?
00:06:06Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers?
00:06:07June, dear.
00:06:08I phoned you several times.
00:06:10You were out.
00:06:11Well, we've got to keep trying.
00:06:12June, I know the strain you're under, but breaking down won't help.
00:06:16Dad has only nine days to live.
00:06:18You know that he's innocent.
00:06:19I've always believed that.
00:06:21Or as public defender, I'd never have carried the case so far.
00:06:24If Dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man.
00:06:26The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:29June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan.
00:06:32Miss Harley.
00:06:33Miss Harley?
00:06:34Oh, I followed Thomas Harley case all through trial.
00:06:36What did you think of the case against Mr. Harley?
00:06:38The case seemed quite perfect.
00:06:39Almost too perfect.
00:06:41Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says.
00:06:43June, dear.
00:06:43We have only a few days left.
00:06:44We've got to do something.
00:06:45Where can I get a good private detective?
00:06:47Well, that idea's useless.
00:06:48Tony, if you won't give me the name of a detective, I'll find one myself.
00:06:51June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:53My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help.
00:06:56It was no use.
00:06:57I'm sorrier than you'll ever know to have to say it, but there's nothing we can do.
00:07:01One thing can be done.
00:07:04What's that, Charlie?
00:07:04Give young lady name of detective.
00:07:06Who would you suggest?
00:07:08Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend.
00:07:10Call on detective tonight.
00:07:12Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state?
00:07:15Ancient proverbs say, one small wind can raise much dust.
00:07:19Excuse, please.
00:07:22What name did he give you?
00:07:23Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance.
00:07:26Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:44All packed, Mr. Chan.
00:07:46Tidy the toothpaste of the tube.
00:07:47We worked four long hours at it, Pop.
00:07:49Excellent.
00:07:50Excellent.
00:07:51It is finest job of packing you have ever done.
00:07:53Thanks, Pop.
00:07:54Car okay?
00:07:56Oh, yes.
00:07:56All oil and grease.
00:07:57Yes, and a tank full of gas.
00:07:58Good.
00:07:59Now we will go back to hotel.
00:08:01What for?
00:08:02To unpack baggage.
00:08:06I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:14Ain't that something.
00:08:15After we packed the bags, better than we ever packed them before.
00:08:18Now that's what your Pop said.
00:08:19Yep.
00:08:20Then we had to unpack everything.
00:08:22It took us four hours of hard work.
00:08:23Yeah.
00:08:24You know what it told me?
00:08:25I got a headache.
00:08:26A headache?
00:08:27Mm-hmm.
00:08:28I don't know where I got it, but I got one.
00:08:29Always sitting.
00:08:32Wish you would wear out brains instead of seat of pants.
00:08:35Pop, we have been thinking.
00:08:36Most impossible.
00:08:37Oh, yes sir, Mr. Chan.
00:08:38We've been thinking.
00:08:39And now you have a headache.
00:08:43Hey, how did he know that?
00:08:45Now in a case like this, what would confusion say?
00:08:49It's not confusion.
00:08:50It's Confucius.
00:08:51Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me.
00:08:54Hey.
00:08:56You hear that one brain knocking?
00:08:57That's you.
00:08:58That's the door.
00:08:59Uh-oh.
00:09:00That's me.
00:09:04Mr. Chan.
00:09:05Right over there with me.
00:09:12Good evening, Miss Harley.
00:09:13Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you.
00:09:16I feel the same way, Mr. Chan.
00:09:17Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful.
00:09:22Mr...
00:09:22Oh, this is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:09:24I phoned him at the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:27I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison.
00:09:29I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:33I wanted Hugh to tell Dad.
00:09:35Mr. Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:38I'm detective, not magician.
00:09:40You must not expect too much on short notice.
00:09:43But we have only nine days.
00:09:45Honorable grandmother always say,
00:09:47Do not think of future. It come too soon.
00:09:51Police report on Harley case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:55You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:56Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:59But where?
00:10:00Place where you live.
00:10:02Why look there?
00:10:03Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:05He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:08Tooth is missing but gap remained.
00:10:11From gap we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:15We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:23Sitting assistants.
00:10:25You will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:28Okay, Pop.
00:10:29Boy, a murder case.
00:10:30Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:31Hurry?
00:10:32Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:35Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:38I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:39Every time they start they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:44I've told you that's all I know.
00:10:46Very sorry but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:52Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:54Ugliest trade sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:58Even Gravedigger knows some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:04I'm sorry I said that, it just slipped out.
00:11:06Many such slip might solve mystery.
00:11:09Please continue.
00:11:09Can you?
00:11:10That's all I have to say.
00:11:12That's what women always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:16You are a social worker?
00:11:19Yes.
00:11:20You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:26Often.
00:11:27What's wrong with that?
00:11:27Nothing.
00:11:28Very fine civic duty.
00:11:31Mr. Harley lived in this house for 15 years.
00:11:34So you must have known he was ex-convict when he first entered this house.
00:11:38I did.
00:11:39I tried to help him.
00:11:40You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:44He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:47After he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:4915 years after.
00:11:53What about note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:11:59Same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:12:02It was, but Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:07Even so, you could have written note before crime occurred.
00:12:11So could anyone else in this house.
00:12:14Thank you so much.
00:12:16Mr. Kinsey, you would please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:21You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:24No, I have not.
00:12:32You work for a social foundation, Miss Patri?
00:12:36Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:39Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary theatrical warehouse
00:12:44was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:47Oh, go on, leave her alone, mister.
00:12:50She uses a seek and sock system.
00:12:51I've seen her practicing.
00:12:53On Mrs. Foss's typewriter.
00:12:55You make much money as typist?
00:12:58No?
00:12:59Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:13:02Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:12Mr. Johnson, you are public accountant.
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16You have own business?
00:13:17Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:21One of your business firms is Cary theatrical warehouse?
00:13:26But the police knew that.
00:13:27They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place, I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:36Now, Mr. Danvers, you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:46You had me worried for a minute, but you're right. I was in both cities, often.
00:13:50You also visit banks which were robbed, including Citizens State Bank here.
00:13:55I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:59The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:14:02You sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks?
00:14:05Yes, sir. It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:08With your knowledge of banks, could you not be a very great assistance to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:15Now, wait a minute. If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:19Merely suggest what you could do, if dishonest.
00:14:25Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:28Listen, I buy my own clothes. Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:32Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat, I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:37During an investigation of Cary Warehouse, a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:43Huh? A dress of mine?
00:14:44A very small dress, consisting of a few feathers.
00:14:49Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:51Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:55But I had nothing to do with Harley. I wore that costume and frivolous follies.
00:14:59But the show finally flopped.
00:15:02Carey's must have bought the props, scenery, and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:05But your show play, Cities of Lamont and Rawdon, at same time banks were robbed there.
00:15:11In identical manner, which Citizen State Bank robbed here.
00:15:15Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:17No, merely that moment trying to figure how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:23Oh, very cute.
00:15:26That will be sufficient for present. All may go now.
00:15:34Did you learn anything that will help, Mr. Chan?
00:15:37No, tomorrow we'll visit prison and interview your father.
00:15:41Tell him not to worry and tell him we're doing everything but...
00:15:43I said all may go, which include you, Miss Evans.
00:15:47I heard you the first time.
00:15:50Are you going to leave now, Mr. Chan?
00:16:02Mr. Chan?
00:16:03Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help, I'll get a leave of absence from my job and come
00:16:11down here...
00:16:11No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:13Miss Harley is right.
00:16:14You return to job.
00:16:15I send for you when I need you.
00:16:17Mr. Chan, I'm scared.
00:16:19We only have nine days.
00:16:19Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:21Excellent advice.
00:16:23Remember old saying, earthquake may shatter the rock, but sand upon which rock stood, still right there in same old
00:16:30place.
00:16:30You relax and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:40Mr. Chan, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:43No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:46We'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:48What am I saying?
00:16:49You surprise yourself, huh?
00:16:52Usually you surprise me.
00:17:00Did you see that bee come through here with that jet job motor?
00:17:06Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:07Where's Birmingham?
00:17:08The car's going by itself.
00:17:09No, it ain't.
00:17:09I was steering by remote control.
00:17:11Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:12Only persons know we come this way are people living at Pass Hotel.
00:17:16This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:43I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:45I think, uh, as old friend warden come around you think what?
00:17:49You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:51I mean it.
00:17:52You haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:54But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:56What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:17:59Oh, I know how you feel, but I still think you're being foolish.
00:18:02Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:18:05Huh?
00:18:05Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:08Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:12Oh, this is guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:14Oh, I've already met, Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:16Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:17Okay.
00:18:18You should get resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:21Well, sitting.
00:18:23Sit again.
00:18:25Remain where you are.
00:18:27Oh, warden.
00:18:30Uh, Mr. Barker wanted the print files on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:34Oh, yes.
00:18:34In my office.
00:18:35Uh, go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:37One moment.
00:18:38I have seen you before.
00:18:40I don't know, but I've seen you.
00:18:42You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:44And you are.
00:18:44Number 8251.
00:18:48He's Jimmy Slade, a forger.
00:18:50He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:53Did you see that man get popped the eye?
00:18:55You mean a tough guy?
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:57Oh, you mean the convict?
00:18:58Mm-hmm.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00Well, Birmingham round.
00:19:01Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:19:05What do you say, boy?
00:19:06Not much, man.
00:19:07It's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:09Yeah, but this face ain't staying.
00:19:11Neither is mine.
00:19:17Mr. Chan to see you, Mr. Harley.
00:19:21I've been waiting to see you, Mr. Chan.
00:19:22Sorry to see you here, Mr. Harley, but great pleasure to meet you anywhere.
00:19:27I don't know what I'm going to say.
00:19:29Please, sit down.
00:19:31Yeah!
00:19:32Birmingham, you're always late, even coming to see me.
00:19:35Don't you ever do anything on time?
00:19:36Sure, I bought a car once.
00:19:38How?
00:19:38On time.
00:19:39You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:41What?
00:19:41I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:43No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45Why, no.
00:19:45Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:47Not that bad.
00:19:47The lady at the beauty parlor said that she was going to...
00:19:49They can't recap them wrinkles.
00:19:51No?
00:19:51No.
00:19:52Now, what they should do is...
00:19:54They did.
00:19:54And while we was over there, do you know what...
00:19:57I know, I know.
00:19:58Now, look.
00:19:59Is that the same gal...
00:20:00No, she don't weigh that much now.
00:20:02No?
00:20:02No, all she weighs now is...
00:20:04That's still too heavy.
00:20:05Why don't you get her to go on the same diet my gal used?
00:20:09Get her to take two...
00:20:10Oh, they don't make that stuff anymore.
00:20:12No?
00:20:12No, now, what I want to give her is some...
00:20:14They'll give her hay fever.
00:20:15Yeah?
00:20:16Why, sure.
00:20:17Listen, in that case, why don't you take her over to...
00:20:21I did.
00:20:21And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:23Who?
00:20:23I saw...
00:20:24Is he still out there?
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:25I thought he was...
00:20:26He was, but he got out.
00:20:28Is that so?
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:29He's staying over with Mr...
00:20:31Is that so?
00:20:32Mm-hmm.
00:20:33They must be charging...
00:20:33No, not that much.
00:20:34No?
00:20:35No, all he's paying is...
00:20:36That's a fair price.
00:20:38Yeah?
00:20:38Yeah.
00:20:39Well, look at you.
00:20:40I got to go now.
00:20:41I'll be over to see you.
00:20:41I'll be working then.
00:20:43Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:43I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:44Okay, sure.
00:20:44Look me up now.
00:20:45I'll do that.
00:20:47Who is that man?
00:20:48Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:51That's my brother Ben.
00:20:52Oh, you're...
00:20:56Your wife died while you were in prison 20 years ago?
00:20:59When June was born.
00:21:01I never told June because I...
00:21:03I meant to go straight.
00:21:05And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:21:07But your fingerprints found in bank vault.
00:21:10Yes, I know.
00:21:11I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:13They were my prints, but...
00:21:14I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:20You don't believe me.
00:21:22Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:26Never believe nightmare no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:31When you're here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:37Yes, he was.
00:21:38Ready to go, Mr. Chan?
00:21:40Yes, please.
00:21:41Don't you worry, Mr. Harley.
00:21:42Mr. Chan, do you think there's any hope?
00:21:45There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:49But if someone else committed a crime, then...
00:21:52Mr. Chan...
00:21:53What are you going to do?
00:21:55That moment I'm like man trying to set clock by guess.
00:21:59And as time does not stand still, perhaps better not stand still myself.
00:22:06Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
00:22:09When he says...
00:22:10Now let's turn to one corner and you says another.
00:22:13I don't...
00:22:14I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:16I don't know. Let's follow it and see.
00:22:17No, we better not.
00:22:20Hey, Punchy.
00:22:21You know what I heard true to Greg Vine?
00:22:23Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:25Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:26You know what I'm going to do when I see that Chan?
00:22:31Did you hear what that man said about Pop?
00:22:32I ain't there.
00:22:33I think we better follow them.
00:22:34What did you say just a while ago when I said let's follow them?
00:22:36Come on.
00:22:36No, that ain't what you said.
00:22:40Right this way, man.
00:22:49They went in here.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:50Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:52You heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:53We've got to find out what they're up to.
00:22:54Okay, okay.
00:23:00There they are.
00:23:01See them?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:16The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:19Maybe we better hide to keep them from falling on earth.
00:23:21We'll sneak up on them.
00:23:22There you go.
00:23:23Wheels sneak up again, Punchy.
00:23:25How many times do I gotta tell you that ain't the way to do it?
00:23:28You slash once when you want to finish something.
00:23:31Now, do you want to know how to do it?
00:23:33Don't interrupt.
00:23:35You take the stab like this.
00:23:37Once the job is done and it's neat.
00:23:42Do you hear me, Punchy?
00:23:44That's the way you do it in one slash.
00:23:49They are planning a murder.
00:23:50We gotta find out who he's gonna kill.
00:23:52We gonna find out.
00:23:53You gonna find out.
00:23:54Okay.
00:23:55Wait a minute.
00:24:04Come on.
00:24:06Come on.
00:24:07Come on.
00:24:08Come on.
00:24:09Come on.
00:24:13Come on.
00:24:13Come on.
00:24:13They're still coming.
00:24:14They're right behind us.
00:24:15Yeah, they're in that crowd.
00:24:15We can't see them.
00:24:16Let's go.
00:24:19Come on.
00:24:21Come on.
00:24:28Come on.
00:24:28Yeah?
00:24:29No.
00:24:30Let's go this way.
00:24:30Down the hall.
00:24:31Come on.
00:24:31Let's go.
00:24:32Oh, please.
00:24:33Let's get out of here.
00:24:34Here they come again.
00:24:35Good.
00:24:36Come on.
00:24:46Boilers.
00:24:47You better count your money.
00:24:48Don't be always interrupting, Punchy.
00:24:50Count it.
00:24:51Come on, you guys.
00:24:52Come on.
00:24:53Are you two guys following me?
00:24:55No, sir.
00:24:55We got here first, but you can have it.
00:24:57Listen, mister.
00:24:58It's all a mistake.
00:24:58Why do you mean a mistake?
00:24:59I'm not kidding.
00:25:00Look at your atonement.
00:25:01This door's locked.
00:25:01How can we get out of here?
00:25:04Hey, fellas.
00:25:04There's a visitor here and he wants to know how he can get out.
00:25:08Oh, this is definitely Mr. Champ.
00:25:11Hey, Pop.
00:25:12Mr. Champ.
00:25:13Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:15Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:16No.
00:25:17After talk with Mr. Harley, I'm convinced the man is innocent.
00:25:21But, Charlie, the law doesn't frame men.
00:25:24Accidents can happen if planned that way.
00:25:27But Harley's fingerprints were found in the bank.
00:25:29My theory is fingerprints were forged and placed at scene of crime.
00:25:33Oh, no, Charlie.
00:25:35That's impossible.
00:25:36Nothing is impossible.
00:25:38Forgery is only solution.
00:25:40Must find out how same is done before too late for Mr. Harley.
00:25:45Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:46Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:46Don't...
00:25:51Pardon me.
00:25:52Tiree.
00:25:52Caren, what's up?
00:25:53A riot.
00:25:55What started the rioting?
00:25:57Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:01What strangers?
00:26:02calling out still.
00:26:03It's Jim, it's Jim!
00:26:05Oh, oh.
00:26:06Which way?
00:26:06Which way?
00:26:07Cell block four.
00:26:12Mr. Sheriff!
00:26:27Right this way, Warden.
00:26:34He wants to get out!
00:26:38Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:39Who's that, Mr. Chan?
00:26:40Yep.
00:26:41So, even in prison you caused trouble.
00:26:44But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:45Mr. Chan, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:47First time I hear cuckoos outside of Clark.
00:26:50But, Pop, we heard them talking about you.
00:26:51Oh, Charlie, I heard you was here.
00:26:53When I saw you, I wanted to shake your hand.
00:26:55Mr. Foggy, why, very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:58Thanks.
00:26:58I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:27:01Oh, sure. He put me in here.
00:27:02It took one of the greatest detectives in the world to do it.
00:27:05Oh, Mr. Chan, I want you to meet me pal, Punchy.
00:27:07Mr. Chan, this is undoubtedly the most supreme moment of my entire life.
00:27:13I stand here...
00:27:15Hey, Mr. Punchy, you're...
00:27:17Don't interrupt.
00:27:19Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:27:20What are we going to do now, Pop?
00:27:21You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:26What kind of garments is that?
00:27:28Straightjackets.
00:27:28That did it.
00:27:30Punchy!
00:27:31You've been going in for illiterature!
00:27:38Your Mr. Thompson in this department has been most kind and helpful.
00:27:42Well, I'm glad, Charlie.
00:27:43We're proud of our staff.
00:27:44Mm-hmm.
00:27:52Hello.
00:27:53How you come with the experiment so far, Mr. Thompson?
00:27:56No luck yet, Mr. Chan.
00:27:58I was afraid it couldn't be done.
00:27:59Well, the forging of fingerprints has been tried before, but it's never worked.
00:28:03However, Mr. Chan's theory of how it might be done has possibilities.
00:28:07I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:14Same thing. No distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:16No oil.
00:28:17That's right, sir.
00:28:18What do you mean, oil?
00:28:19There is always natural oil in hands.
00:28:22And that oil is what causes the fingerprint to remain after the hand touches the surface.
00:28:26I tried using regular fingerprint ink, but the lack of oil caused a blurring of the ink.
00:28:31No one would take that for a fingerprint.
00:28:32Perhaps if we obtain oil more like natural oil.
00:28:35Well, I tried using a thin mixture of olive oil, but the oil ran and smeared, and the result was
00:28:40no fingerprints.
00:28:41Looks like we're up against a stone wall, Charlie.
00:28:43I don't promise anything, but I'm going to keep on trying.
00:28:46No man can do more.
00:28:48I have more work to do yet in your department.
00:28:51Afraid it's no use, Charlie, but what do you want done?
00:28:53Please, have police quietly checked back 10 to 15 years on all persons now living at Hoss Hotel.
00:29:00Okay, but why?
00:29:01Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:09I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:11You mean you are.
00:29:12You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:13Sure I do.
00:29:14It's something that the police wears.
00:29:16Are you kidding?
00:29:17Tommy!
00:29:18This is the last one, Pop.
00:29:20No more.
00:29:21Today's the 14th, and Harley's scheduled to die the 17th.
00:29:24What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:26Police reports show three banks robbed in past two years.
00:29:30Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:33Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on family tree.
00:29:36Woodpecker.
00:29:37I've got to remember that.
00:29:39Rawdon bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:44Lamont bank robbed, man named Stephen Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:47Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:50And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:53And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:55Also curious coincidence is each man arrested in each case swear he leave no fingerprints in bank because he never
00:30:04there.
00:30:04Do you think Harley was in with the gang, Pop?
00:30:07Oh, he finished school, now he tried to finish me.
00:30:11But, Pop.
00:30:12Mmm, mocho.
00:30:14Also in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:18Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:20Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:24It is only prison where all three men serve time.
00:30:27Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:29Yes, but let me make suggestion first.
00:30:32Keep quiet.
00:30:33Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:34But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:37That is idea.
00:30:39Very good idea.
00:30:40I believe there is some connection between bank robberies, fingerprints, and the state's prison.
00:30:47What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:50Oh, for time I nursed theory.
00:30:53Very excellent theory.
00:30:55But now instead of nurse, I fear theory need undertaker.
00:31:01Hello.
00:31:03For you, Charlie.
00:31:05Hmm.
00:31:06Charlie Chan speaking.
00:31:07We have that information you asked for.
00:31:09Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:10Yes, go ahead.
00:31:12Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade.
00:31:15A convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau at the state prison.
00:31:19She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:23Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived.
00:31:26And theory, now very healthy again.
00:31:31I see.
00:31:33Another thing, Miss Petrie, why you lie about clothes?
00:31:36I didn't.
00:31:37They were given to him.
00:31:39I learned different.
00:31:40Where you obtain money to buy fine garments?
00:31:43I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:44Please.
00:31:45Where you get money?
00:31:47Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:49I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:51You will talk at police headquarters.
00:31:53Get your hat and coat.
00:31:54Miss Harley, you go with her.
00:31:59You think she's mixed up in this?
00:32:01Yes.
00:32:01We soon find out.
00:32:04Mrs. Foss, why you lie when I ask you if any other convict live in this house?
00:32:09I didn't.
00:32:09Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:11You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:14When young lady bear title Miss, she usually have no husband to be mentioned.
00:32:20I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:22She's timid and shy.
00:32:24That's June.
00:32:35What happened?
00:32:36Someone chopped me.
00:32:37Miss Petrie?
00:32:38I don't know.
00:32:39I don't know who it was.
00:32:41It was someone in that room.
00:32:50Clothing undisturbed.
00:32:56What have you there?
00:32:57Nothing, Pop.
00:32:58Just some old telephone numbers.
00:33:03Name of Kerry theatrical warehouse appear often in this case.
00:33:07Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:33:08Mr. Kenzie.
00:33:09You will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:12I will try warehouse.
00:33:28There must be a woman's other, Pop.
00:33:31Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:33No license plates.
00:33:42There must be a woman's other, Pop.
00:33:47There must be a woman's other, Pop.
00:33:47Perhaps Miss Petrie arrived already.
00:33:50Take a look around.
00:33:51Quietly.
00:33:54Now, Birmingham.
00:33:59Well, didn't you hear what Pop said?
00:34:01Sure.
00:34:01Your Pop said look around quietly.
00:34:03And that's just what I'm going to do.
00:34:04Look around quietly.
00:34:05Right here in the light.
00:34:07See?
00:34:07There ain't no harm to that.
00:34:08Always want to go in the dark.
00:34:09See?
00:34:10I'm going to look right around here in the night.
00:34:13See that?
00:34:14Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:20Tommy.
00:34:21See?
00:34:21Go ahead.
00:34:22Go in the dark and get lost.
00:34:24I don't care.
00:34:25I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:26Always running around.
00:34:32That ain't real.
00:34:34Oh, boy.
00:34:34Oh, boy.
00:34:35That ain't real.
00:34:36But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me.
00:34:39Be dependable.
00:34:42Hey, Tommy.
00:34:43Tommy!
00:34:45Tommy!
00:35:17Oh, boy.
00:35:17Oh, boy.
00:35:18Oh, boy.
00:35:19Don't get excited now.
00:35:24He's in a trance.
00:35:28Not us.
00:35:28Just stay with me, and I'll ask you when to go.
00:35:36I never heard of an old boy.
00:35:37Now, you don't have to worry, now.
00:35:39Everything's all right.
00:35:40Just stay with me.
00:35:41I never see.
00:35:42They ought to have a cage or something for them lions around here.
00:35:45This house shorting is terrible.
00:35:47I ain't never...
00:35:48Whoa.
00:35:49Hmm.
00:35:50I heal a monster.
00:35:51This place is getting crowded.
00:35:53Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:56Just hold that a little bit.
00:35:57That's a plenty.
00:35:59Whoa.
00:36:02I've never seen nothing like this before in my life.
00:36:05Tommy.
00:36:07Give me my hat.
00:36:10Tommy, is that you got in my hat?
00:36:13Tommy, please say yes, you got in my hat.
00:36:32It ain't no kidding, either.
00:36:37Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen get together, cause I'm gonna show it to you.
00:36:46Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:49I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:52Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:54Wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:57It is.
00:36:59Good evening.
00:37:01Well, ain't this nice?
00:37:03Looks all right.
00:37:12Good.
00:37:13Listen.
00:37:14Tommy.
00:37:15Tommy.
00:37:16Mr. Doleman.
00:37:18Mr. Doleman.
00:37:19You better open that door.
00:37:21If you don't you gonna lose it.
00:37:22Good.
00:37:25Go away.
00:37:26Good.
00:37:27Mr. Jack.
00:37:29Good.
00:37:32Good gracious.
00:37:44Tommy! Tommy! Mr. Chan! Tommy! Good, Mr. Chan! Tommy!
00:37:48Be quiet, here I am. Oh, Tommy! How did it happen?
00:37:52How did what happen? You ain't got no clothes on, don't you?
00:37:55Don't you catch cold? Birmingham. Good, Tommy!
00:37:59Don't do that without you saying something.
00:38:00Hey, is this you or is this you? Who is you?
00:38:02This is me. Be quiet.
00:38:04Oh, that you? I just can't help it Tommy. I'm all upset.
00:38:07Good gracious, I never... I'm nervous. I just got to sit down.
00:38:10I'm telling you, I'm... I'm just...
00:38:11Oh! God! A snake! Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
00:38:14Please, please. Didn't I tell you to look around quietly?
00:38:20I mean quietly. Go watch door.
00:38:23Yes, sir. That's the best thing I heard you say.
00:38:41Okay, so, now I'm going to put a block in my heart for this,
00:38:44I'll let them know you. Let me see you.
00:38:46This is a big problem in my heart.
00:38:47I don't have to get any problems.
00:38:47You can see me. I'm a little bit more about it,
00:38:49IY��an. I'm a little bit more about it.
00:38:50Yeah, I'm a little bit more about it.
00:38:58Oh, my son. Let's take a look at the block.
00:39:06Mr. Johnson.
00:39:11Mr. Johnson.
00:39:13Hey, Pop.
00:39:14Hey, Pop.
00:39:15Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:19I didn't hear you, Camille.
00:39:21Strange you not hear us.
00:39:23My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:25Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:26I have sinus trouble.
00:39:28At times, like tonight,
00:39:30it affects my hearing.
00:39:31Makes me slightly deaf.
00:39:33You not hear assistants make noise in warehouse?
00:39:36No, I didn't.
00:39:37I couldn't.
00:39:39I'm very sorry for you.
00:39:40I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:43Oh, thank you.
00:39:45If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to finish.
00:39:58Your deafness too convenient, Mr. Johnson.
00:40:01Good idea, huh, Pop?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03Your idea, my dollar.
00:40:05Give.
00:40:07Miss Petrie arrived here yet?
00:40:09Miss Petrie?
00:40:10I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick.
00:40:17Mr. Chan!
00:40:23Mr. Chan, come here quick.
00:40:29That truck just went around and here it comes back again.
00:40:32Miss Petrie.
00:40:32Hey, look out!
00:40:45Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:46Call the police.
00:40:47Yes, sir.
00:40:47Here's her purse pocket.
00:40:48No, wish only police to examine lady's purse.
00:40:53No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:57Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:41:00No, I won't say anything.
00:41:02Goodbye.
00:41:04I was right.
00:41:06Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:41:09You mean she was murdered?
00:41:10By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself for desistance.
00:41:13But Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:15To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:19Mr. Chan?
00:41:20Yes.
00:41:21I thought I recognized these prints.
00:41:23They were in my files.
00:41:24They belong to Louis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:25Louis Mack, convict?
00:41:27Where?
00:41:27He served two sentences at state prison.
00:41:31I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:33No, not necessary.
00:41:34Instead, I myself will go to state prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:38What for?
00:41:39To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:44I will telephone you.
00:41:57Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:42:07Four of them?
00:42:08Yes, the cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Harley, and Louis Mack.
00:42:13Was not expecting card on Louis Mack today.
00:42:16Why not?
00:42:17I got the cards on Gray and Briggs from the dead file.
00:42:20And day after tomorrow, Harley's card goes into that file.
00:42:23Believe Mr. Harley, we'll live longer than you think.
00:42:26You got something, Charlie?
00:42:27Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:30You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints other than those photographed here.
00:42:37Oh, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:39And maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:41And mine, perhaps.
00:42:43Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:45Right away.
00:42:45But, Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:49Believe the same has already been done.
00:42:51Through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:57Briggs, Gray, and Harley.
00:42:59Gray went out of his head.
00:43:00He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:02And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:04Two months here finished him.
00:43:05I learned both men die protesting innocence.
00:43:08They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rawdon not placed there by themselves.
00:43:14And now, Mr. Harley say...
00:43:16But, Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:20We'll see as soon as Mr. Barker finishes his examination.
00:43:24Okay, okay.
00:43:26This looks okay, huh?
00:43:27Let's sit down.
00:43:28Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble and wait for Mr. Chan.
00:43:31Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:33Oh, no.
00:43:34Not again.
00:43:35Well, look at old Bidget.
00:43:38Hi, boy.
00:43:39How are you?
00:43:40I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:41Yeah?
00:43:42Yeah, is you still in?
00:43:43Is you still out?
00:43:44Oh, sure.
00:43:46Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:47Oh, yeah, I went over and I saw him.
00:43:49You see, nobody introduced us, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:52That's the wrong approach.
00:43:53Yeah?
00:43:53Sure.
00:43:54Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:55I did.
00:43:56And we killed it.
00:43:57No.
00:43:57So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:59I thought the finance company got that.
00:44:01Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:44:02Oh, I see.
00:44:03Mm-hmm.
00:44:03Say, is he still going...
00:44:05No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:06No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08I thought all the time you...
00:44:10Oh, she's married.
00:44:11No.
00:44:11Yeah, she married a fellow by the name of...
00:44:13He's a nice fellow.
00:44:14Oh, he is?
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Wait a minute.
00:44:17Hmm?
00:44:17Let me tell you something.
00:44:20What's that?
00:44:20You know what I heard?
00:44:21What?
00:44:22I heard...
00:44:22Not until Christmas.
00:44:24No.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25I never did believe that term.
00:44:26I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:28No.
00:44:28In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:30Who?
00:44:31He.
00:44:31He?
00:44:32Who?
00:44:32Who's he?
00:44:33Whatchamacallit?
00:44:34Oh, him.
00:44:34Sure.
00:44:35Oh, I didn't know who you were talking about.
00:44:36No.
00:44:37No.
00:44:37I never did know him.
00:44:38I don't know him myself.
00:44:39He's been strangest for years.
00:44:41Yeah.
00:44:42You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:43What?
00:44:44That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:45Because me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:47We sure do, don't we?
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:51You sure you're right, partner?
00:44:52Absolutely.
00:44:53Our file cards have been tampered with.
00:44:55This one has been wiped clean.
00:44:57And this one...
00:44:58That's Lewis Mack's card.
00:45:00Yes, sir.
00:45:00And on it are a thumb and index print made by someone not in this prison.
00:45:05Preserve this card.
00:45:06It is proof that someone tried to falsely accuse Lewis Mack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:45:11When Kenzie gets back here with Slade, I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:45:13If I have to make...
00:45:14Warden, the guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:16He must know why we want him.
00:45:18Well, I'll find him.
00:45:19I'll call a general lock-up.
00:45:23Gavin!
00:45:28Uh-oh.
00:45:29Gotta go.
00:45:29Can't be late in this school.
00:45:30No?
00:45:31Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:32Be good.
00:45:32Show a lot of bells.
00:45:34Yeah, I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:35I don't know.
00:45:37Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:38This is one we're gonna stay out of.
00:45:40That's the best thing that I heard you say here.
00:45:41Look, let's play John Ken Paul.
00:45:43John Ken Paul.
00:45:43Yeah, he's out.
00:45:44Yeah, he's out?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:45Okay.
00:45:45Yeah, he's out.
00:45:49I got you, that's out.
00:45:58Yeah, he's out.
00:46:00Oh, no.
00:46:01Oh, yeah.
00:46:01Yeah, he's out.
00:46:04A lot of silence.
00:46:06Yeah.
00:46:07But we will stay right here.
00:46:13Sergeant!
00:46:16Slade missing?
00:46:16Yes, sir.
00:46:17We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:19Alert and the guards have located Slade.
00:46:20He's heading for the bailing shed.
00:46:21Come on.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:49We better go and fight pop.
00:46:50Let's do that.
00:46:51Let's fight pop.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:54Come on.
00:46:58We'll be right.
00:47:01Good luck.
00:47:14There we go.
00:47:16Come on.
00:47:17Come on.
00:47:18Let's go.
00:47:18Come on.
00:47:19Come on.
00:47:20Come on, come on.
00:47:21Come on.
00:47:28Watch out, Warden, he's up on the bale.
00:47:34Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:36Slade, you better give up.
00:47:37You haven't got a chance.
00:47:40Yeah?
00:47:42Come and get me.
00:47:53He's here.
00:47:54He still may be able to talk.
00:48:13You're not going to make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:26This lady's dead.
00:48:28Just as well for him.
00:48:33Gun barrel plugged.
00:48:34Gun explode.
00:48:36He killed self.
00:48:38Hiya, Bob.
00:48:39Did something happen?
00:48:40A dead man.
00:48:41Guess something did happen.
00:48:42Yeah, we better go before something happened to us.
00:48:49It is too bad.
00:48:50Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:56But if there was something wrong...
00:48:57State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:49:00At present, I have no proof at all.
00:49:02You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:49:04Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:49:07What do you want now?
00:49:09Your fingerprints, please.
00:49:11Why?
00:49:11I'm looking for murderer.
00:49:14Well, that lets me out.
00:49:15One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:16I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:18Look, mister, I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:21Have you got a warrant?
00:49:22No, but, uh...
00:49:24Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:25No.
00:49:26Okay, then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:29Excuse, please.
00:49:33So you work for the government.
00:49:34Who doesn't these days?
00:49:36You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:39Okay, toots.
00:49:40When you get a warrant, give me a buzz.
00:49:42Ta-ta.
00:49:45Miss Evans, too smart for her own good.
00:49:48I have her fingerprints now.
00:49:50Here.
00:49:51I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:55Everyone else is out.
00:49:56No matter.
00:49:57This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:01We go upstairs, please.
00:50:09You two not afraid?
00:50:11Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:12That you sit down so often you get concussion of brains.
00:50:16Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:17Good.
00:50:18Save it for old age.
00:50:21Look, save one for me, too.
00:50:32Any luck?
00:50:33Not yet, sir.
00:50:35Has anything been heard from Posse Hotel yet?
00:50:38Nothing.
00:50:39The prints on Louis Mac's prison card were those of Johnson,
00:50:41but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:43Excuse, please.
00:50:50Hello.
00:50:51Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:53No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:55Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away on one of his regular trips.
00:50:59But I'm worried it's getting...
00:51:01Please, please, you must not worry.
00:51:03Everything now in lap of gods.
00:51:05Very soon I give very hearty shove.
00:51:07Perhaps clue fall off of laps.
00:51:11Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:13As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:18Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:19But when pressed against an object, they still leave no print mark.
00:51:22That's right.
00:51:23A lack of oil, huh?
00:51:25I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil.
00:51:28And if this test doesn't work, I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:31No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:37Now, this is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:48Now, if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:52:03Now, those are forged fingerprints.
00:52:04But any expert not knowing what we did would swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:08Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:09No, no.
00:52:10We make successful experiments.
00:52:12But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:52:16But, Pop, if the detective at the force hotel arrests Johnson...
00:52:19I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:22This engraving and photography on rubber, you do all of that here?
00:52:27No, sir.
00:52:28I use an engraving plant.
00:52:29I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:33Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:36No, sir.
00:52:36They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:38Large place.
00:52:39Large place.
00:52:41You remain here and try to contact Governor of State.
00:52:45If detectives at force hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Cary Warehouse.
00:52:50Cary's?
00:52:51What are you going out there for?
00:52:52To try and prove.
00:52:53Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:58Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:52:59Very fine job.
00:53:01You know, Pop, believe it or not, that's the same idea I had.
00:53:07Tommy, now I've heard everything.
00:53:15Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:53:17Shrewd observation.
00:53:18This is truck which killed Miss Petrie.
00:53:20Look inside.
00:53:22Four big cameras.
00:53:24Hey, what are them turbs doing in there?
00:53:26That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:29You two remain here on watch.
00:53:31If I call, come quickly.
00:53:33Yes, sir.
00:53:35You know, I think Pop's got something.
00:53:37There must be some clues around here.
00:53:39Let us do some investigating on our own.
00:53:41Come on.
00:53:41Let us you go and let us me stay here.
00:53:44I'm going to wait right here.
00:53:45You're always talking about let us do some investigating.
00:53:48Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan.
00:53:51It's safer.
00:53:55Good night.
00:53:56Good night.
00:54:02Good night.
00:54:08Good night.
00:54:12Good night.
00:54:20Well, let's go.
00:54:28Birmingham, it's me.
00:54:56I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:58Hey, Pop!
00:55:00Hey, Pop!
00:55:04No, I know you ain't real.
00:55:08Couldn't be real.
00:55:14Oh boy, not now.
00:55:16But when I ask you to make your departure,
00:55:18do not leave me here.
00:55:19Birmingham.
00:55:22Now this is exactly what I need,
00:55:24a removable foxhole.
00:55:26It's real.
00:55:59Now is the time.
00:56:03Oh my goodness.
00:56:04It can be.
00:56:05I know it ain't true.
00:56:06Don't know if I believe it.
00:56:07I don't believe it.
00:56:09Boss, you don't.
00:56:13I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:14Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:56:16Look, in the truck.
00:56:17I got an idea.
00:56:18Good idea.
00:56:21Good idea, Tom.
00:56:22Oh my God.
00:56:26That's right, Tom.
00:56:27Back it out.
00:56:27Right, straight through that door.
00:56:31I'm going to run down that killer.
00:56:32That's what we'll do.
00:56:33What?
00:56:36Get him, Tommy.
00:56:38Don't miss him, Tommy.
00:56:45What am I saying?
00:56:54You are traveling salesman.
00:56:57This time, no sale.
00:57:00Assistants do a very fine job.
00:57:02Thanks, Pop.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:04You put murderer right in my hands.
00:57:07I guess we're pretty good, huh?
00:57:09Yeah!
00:57:10Well, how do we do it?
00:57:18Hello.
00:57:19Charlie, where have you been?
00:57:22Yes, I'll send the police right over.
00:57:23We've only a couple of hours.
00:57:24What about Harley?
00:57:25Yes, Mr. Morgan, please telephone warden.
00:57:29I have complete evidence to exonerate Mr. Harley.
00:57:32When police arrive, we'll drive to prison.
00:57:35Pick you up on way.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:39Fast-talking salesman, unusually quiet.
00:57:41I'll talk plenty.
00:57:43You killed Mr. Johnson to prevent him from talking.
00:57:47This way, please.
00:57:51So, that is why I slightly detained last night.
00:57:54Mr. Harley, you'll be out of here the moment the state's attorney's papers arrive.
00:57:58Oh, Dad.
00:57:59Everything's all right, June.
00:58:00Your dad's free?
00:58:01Oh, you were wonderful to us, Hugh.
00:58:03Well, it's over.
00:58:04I'm glad you settled it, Charlie.
00:58:05Oh, case not settled yet.
00:58:08Why?
00:58:08Wasn't Danvers the guilty man?
00:58:10Convict Slade is one who steal fingerprint cards from prison files.
00:58:14And he sent them to Johnson, who photographed and engraved them on rubber.
00:58:17And Danvers cased each bank before the robberies.
00:58:19But all work for third man who is missing, man responsible for most of crimes.
00:58:24How was Slade able to get fingerprint cards out of prison and back again so easily?
00:58:32Good question, Warden?
00:58:34It is.
00:58:36You got any more?
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39Who gives Slade gun?
00:58:40Who fixed gun so it'd explode when fired and murder Slade?
00:58:45Man who do all these things is third missing man.
00:58:49Must be someone inside prison.
00:58:52Correct, Warden?
00:58:54You may be right.
00:58:56Many contemptible persons in prison.
00:58:58But worst of all is you, Mr. Kenzie.
00:59:03You're accusing me.
00:59:05My suspicions confirmed after talk with Mr. Danvers.
00:59:08We got your cover.
00:59:11Thank you, Charlie.
00:59:17Excellent.
00:59:18Excellent.
00:59:20You will put weapons back in pockets.
00:59:23I guess we are good, huh?
00:59:24I don't know how we did at that time.
00:59:27Charlie, I at least thought Kenzie loved June.
00:59:30Oh, he's an egomaniac.
00:59:32He thinks only of self.
00:59:34He wants money so he steals it.
00:59:37He tries to get rid of you because you oppose daughter's marriage to him.
00:59:41How did you find that out?
00:59:42I talked with chorus girl, Miss Evans.
00:59:45Well, Charlie, next time you're in town, drop in and see us.
00:59:49See us?
00:59:51Oh.
00:59:52Oh.
00:59:55We sure fooled, didn't we?
00:59:57Yeah, you sure got a great sense of humor.
00:59:59You should know that by now.
01:00:01Yeah.
01:00:02Well, Birmingham Brown.
01:00:04Oh, no. This is too much.
01:00:07Well, hello there, Benjamin.
01:00:08Hello, Birmingham.
01:00:10Yeah, I've just been figuring.
01:00:12Do you know you own...
01:00:13I don't owe you nothing.
01:00:14All I owe you is...
01:00:16Oh, no.
01:00:17You forgetting the time that I...
01:00:18Why?
01:00:19Do you know I had to spend around...
01:00:20You ain't ever spent that much in your life.
01:00:22Look, my uncle wrote and told me that...
01:00:25No, no, no.
01:00:26Birmingham not do that.
01:00:27He goes see landlady and she tell him...
01:00:30She lied.
01:00:31I don't know her scent.
01:00:32Listen, Mr. Chan.
01:00:34Did you know her...
01:00:35Yeah, I met him last time, you know.
01:00:37That's right, Mr. Chan.
01:00:38That's the time that I took it over to...
01:00:39Took what over to where?
01:00:40Oh, to check to the tailors.
01:00:42Oh, that's what happened to that suit I never got to wear.
01:00:44Yeah, Birmingham go out in rain.
01:00:46Suit shrink.
01:00:47Taylor refused, same.
01:00:48So, Birmingham must pay for suit.
01:00:50Well, where's the suit now?
01:00:52It's still shrinking.
01:00:53My little nephew got on his teddy bear.
01:00:55You know, that's why I like to meet you boys.
01:00:57We understand each other so well.
01:00:59No, no, no.
01:01:00Mr. Chan.
01:01:02Oh, Mr. Chan, he killed me.
01:01:05Pop, I don't get it.
01:01:07I never get that kind of a talk.
01:01:08How do you do it?
01:01:09You are familiar with pigeon English?
01:01:11Oh, sure.
01:01:12Same difference.
