00:02:01Hello, Wong.
00:02:02How are you?
00:02:03Good.
00:02:04Much wishes for the Happy New Year.
00:02:06That's right.
00:02:07This is the 12th of February.
00:02:09Chinese New Year.
00:02:10All wishes for happiness in the coming year.
00:02:20I've just received a very fine shipment, a beautiful thing from the Orient.
00:02:25Nothing picked over yet.
00:02:27No, Wong.
00:02:27I'm not here to buy anything for the ranch.
00:02:30I came to see you because you're the only real friend I have in San Francisco.
00:02:35Ah, Wong.
00:02:35Much honor.
00:02:36There's trouble in Arizona, Wong.
00:02:39So?
00:02:39At the Golden Eye Mine?
00:02:41Not only at the mine, at home, on the ranch, everywhere.
00:02:45Someone was trying to kill me, Wong.
00:02:49You type to the police, man?
00:02:51No, Wong.
00:02:52This is no matter for the police.
00:02:54Either they wouldn't believe or they wouldn't understand.
00:02:56This is the case for Charlie Chan, if I can find him.
00:02:58Gladly it helped.
00:03:01Chan, a pleasant time.
00:03:03A Chan family on Washington Street.
00:03:06Where they bring a New Year's greeting to honorable cousin.
00:03:09Fine.
00:03:10Out in Arizona, they never figured that a Chinese might be a detective.
00:03:13Where's your phone?
00:03:14Right there.
00:03:21Miss Manning, please.
00:03:24604.
00:03:26Hello.
00:03:27Yes, Dad.
00:03:28I've traced down Charlie Chan.
00:03:31I want you to go get him.
00:03:33He's at the Chan Family Society on Washington Street.
00:03:36Do you want me to bring him here to the hotel?
00:03:38No.
00:03:39Bring him here.
00:03:40I've been followed every minute since I entered Chinatown.
00:03:43All right.
00:03:44Goodbye, Dad.
00:03:48Tell the rest of the story to Wong.
00:03:52It appears someone is a very busy person.
00:03:55Yes.
00:03:56You stay here.
00:03:57I'll get you some tea.
00:04:24Oh, Mr. Manning.
00:04:25What's happened?
00:04:26You hurt?
00:04:27No, Wong.
00:04:27But I've had another escape.
00:04:29Look there.
00:04:30And there.
00:04:31Let's get out of here until Chan comes.
00:04:33It's a must.
00:04:41It's a must.
00:04:47German.
00:04:48Manly here bullet.
00:04:50Many of these guns now available in country since recent unpleasantness with Mr.
00:04:54Hitler.
00:04:55It looks as though they've carved the nose of it.
00:04:56Yes, even so would have been in the view, except for a bullet being deflected by window glass.
00:05:03How soon can you start for Arizona, Mr. Chan?
00:05:05Well, that poses a little question, because my arrival in Arizona would give warning to enemies.
00:05:13But you must come as soon as you can.
00:05:15Someone's trying to kill Dad, and I feel I'm in danger, too.
00:05:19Bad sign for a new year.
00:05:21You know, Charlie, I have an idea.
00:05:22Yes?
00:05:23The lazy white dude ranch is only a half mile from my property.
00:05:25You could arrive there as a guest on a holiday and still be right at the scene of action.
00:05:29Dude ranch?
00:05:30Well, that idea certainly appealed to number two son Tommy and Birmingham.
00:05:35Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.
00:05:41It never is heard an encouraging word, and the cloud stays cloudy all day.
00:05:50A born cowboy.
00:05:52That's me.
00:05:54Two-gun Birmingham riots again.
00:05:57What am I talking about?
00:06:03Yeah, this is going to be a fine trip.
00:06:08Oh, wait a minute.
00:06:16Oh, wait a minute, Sheriff.
00:06:17What's the matter with this thing?
00:06:18I know I had it right.
00:06:20I'm packing this baby every year.
00:06:23Ah, that's better.
00:06:25Now, here.
00:06:26Let's get along.
00:06:28Wait a minute.
00:06:29This old cowhide thing looks like it's got some live cowhide in it.
00:06:33Hiya, Birmingham.
00:06:34How do I look?
00:06:37Oh, man.
00:06:39Man, you sharp.
00:06:41You gone.
00:06:42You mad.
00:06:44Hey.
00:06:46How do I look?
00:06:47I'll have to let Pop tell you that.
00:06:49I can't wait till I hit those wide open spaces.
00:06:51The range.
00:06:52The little doggies.
00:06:53Hit that trail.
00:06:54Hit the leather.
00:06:55Hey, wait a minute, Billy kid.
00:06:56You come over here and hit me at this leather.
00:06:58Having trouble?
00:07:00I think you got too much stuff in it.
00:07:02No.
00:07:02The suitcase is too little.
00:07:04There.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:05Now, wait a minute.
00:07:06I did that before.
00:07:07You know, it popped right up in my face.
00:07:12Well, that did it.
00:07:14Oh.
00:07:15You got some stuff sticking out.
00:07:16We'll have to open it up here.
00:07:17Oh, no.
00:07:18Don't do that.
00:07:18We'll never be able to close this thing again.
00:07:20Wait a minute.
00:07:20I'll fix that.
00:07:22There's trouble that I had around here.
00:07:25Pull it up there.
00:07:27Turn it up.
00:07:28I'm gonna fix it.
00:07:34I'll fix it.
00:07:35Well, we ain't going through all that trouble no more.
00:07:37I bet you this will do it.
00:07:39Oh.
00:07:40That'll do it.
00:07:42Now lay it down.
00:07:43Easy, easy.
00:07:45Easy now.
00:07:46Hold it now.
00:07:48Oh.
00:07:52That did it.
00:07:53Good baby.
00:07:54What is the matter with this?
00:07:55What is the matter with this?
00:07:56You can't do this for me.
00:07:57You just can't do this for me.
00:08:25Here, do it!
00:08:29I wish the scenery was standing still so I could see some of it.
00:08:34Whoops!
00:08:35Mr. O'Brien, you've been drinking.
00:08:38Oh, somebody must have told you. Old gossips.
00:08:41That's my business.
00:08:42Have you any other kind of business?
00:08:44No, it's none of your business.
00:08:46Say, that's a pretty good one, ain't it?
00:08:48Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
00:08:51I must be drinking vodka and getting a Russian accent.
00:09:03Water.
00:09:20Hello, pal. How about having a drink on me?
00:09:23Thanks. I already have one.
00:09:25Give me one. My name is O'Brien. Vincent O'Brien from San Francisco.
00:09:28I'm down here to try to straighten it up a little bit.
00:09:31Uh-huh. Mine's Driscoll.
00:09:34Driscoll? I heard that name.
00:09:36Oh, yes, you're the superintendent of that mine.
00:09:39Is it a golden eagle? No, it's the nickel plate.
00:09:42No, it's the diamond horseshoe.
00:09:44The golden eye.
00:09:45Oh, yes, the golden eye, yes.
00:09:48Driscoll, huh?
00:09:49Uh-huh.
00:10:00Uh, Birmingham, please to take luggage to bungalow number nine
00:10:05and arrange suitable accommodation for self.
00:10:07Yes, sir.
00:10:07Where are you going, pal?
00:10:08Well, uh, earnestly desire to have period of quiet contemplation by swimming pool.
00:10:14I'm gonna have a period of quiet contemplation by the pool myself later.
00:10:17Yes, well, uh, personal reasons for contemplation differ from those of number two's son.
00:10:27Miner, that must be a very interesting business. Must be.
00:10:31You know, my father, my father was a miner.
00:10:34Oh, he was a miner, way back in, uh...
00:10:39Oh, no, no, I guess it was my grandfather who was a miner.
00:10:42Yeah, but it wasn't my grandfather.
00:10:48Excuse me. I gotta see a book about a girl.
00:10:50Now, don't go away. I'll be right back.
00:11:25Hello, honey. What's she reading?
00:11:29A book.
00:11:31Oh, a book.
00:11:32So, you know, it's very bad. I'll just feel like this with the pretty eyes like you.
00:11:36Why don't you go over there with a nice sunshine and read the book?
00:11:39It's nice already.
00:11:41Thanks. I think that's just what I'll do.
00:11:43Oh, now, wait a minute, honey. Please, I...
00:11:48Oh, don't go away mad.
00:11:51Nice girl.
00:11:59Hello, Charlie.
00:12:01Well, Lieutenant Mike.
00:12:03I first question reliability of own eyesight.
00:12:06Vincent O'Brien, San Francisco playboy.
00:12:09Slowly but surely reaching the ragged edges of delirium treatment.
00:12:12Uh-huh.
00:12:14Then, uh, working on case.
00:12:16Yeah.
00:12:16I'll leave from the force to the government.
00:12:18And I'm playing this thing for all it's worth.
00:12:21I see.
00:12:22I first think, uh, Lieutenant Mike are giving prohibition party kick in teeth.
00:12:27Hello, Mr. O'Brien.
00:12:28Well, hello, honey.
00:12:30Aren't you going in the water?
00:12:32Water? Oh, that's for codfish.
00:12:33Don't.
00:12:35Goodbye, honey.
00:12:36Have a nice time.
00:12:38Have a nice time.
00:12:39Have a nice time.
00:12:40You down here on the subject?
00:12:42Yes.
00:12:43I'm, uh, endeavoring to unravel a small desert mystery.
00:12:46Yeah?
00:12:48Mr. Manning, head of Golden Eye Mine.
00:12:51Manning, huh?
00:12:53You know, Charlie, I think we're barking up the same tree.
00:12:56I'm scraping up an acquaintance with Driscoll over there.
00:13:00Superintendent of the mine.
00:13:02Where are you located?
00:13:04In, uh, bungalow number nine.
00:13:06Fine.
00:13:07I'll stagger over and see you after dark.
00:13:11Will, there's my friend over there.
00:13:12Don't go away now.
00:13:13I'm coming right over.
00:13:32Oh, boy.
00:13:33That was the closest.
00:13:34You see that?
00:13:34I almost went in...
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:44Oh.
00:13:44Hold it.
00:13:45Hold it.
00:13:46Come on.
00:13:49Give me your hand.
00:13:51Come on.
00:13:51Come on.
00:13:58What'd you say who pushed me?
00:14:00I was starting to have a lot of my old business.
00:14:01Somebody pushed me.
00:14:02Come on.
00:14:03Sit down.
00:14:03Sit down, he's safe.
00:14:05It's a fine thing.
00:14:07Out for enjoyment.
00:14:08Everything.
00:14:09Everything.
00:14:11You must have stayed with his staff.
00:14:14You must have stayed with his staff.
00:14:22Go home.
00:14:24Come on.
00:14:27Come on.
00:14:29Come on.
00:14:30Come on.
00:14:33Come on.
00:14:35Oh, you bear.
00:14:43Maslowly
00:14:44Zai, you have...
00:14:54Come in, please.
00:15:00Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:02Hello, Charlie.
00:15:04Well, Lieutenant Mike, you know,
00:15:07I think you are overplaying your part of drinking man.
00:15:11In fact, I think you might say you go overboard.
00:15:15I see what you mean.
00:15:16I have a mouthful of news for you, Charlie.
00:15:18Your man, Manning...
00:15:19Has had accident.
00:15:21Yeah, how did you guess it?
00:15:22Well, Mr. Manning have series of accidents,
00:15:24including two days ago in San Francisco
00:15:26when mysterious bullets come through window of Curio Shop.
00:15:29Yeah, well, they nearly got him this time.
00:15:31What happened?
00:15:32Fell down one of the shafts in the mine,
00:15:33badly bruised head and shoulders and a possible skull fracture.
00:15:36Oh, you have much news, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:39Yes, the doctor from Eldorado stopped to have his car gassed
00:15:42on the way to the Manning Ranch.
00:15:43I overheard him talking to the station attendant.
00:15:45I see.
00:15:46Well, I think I'd better go there at once.
00:15:48Tommy!
00:15:49Yes, Pop?
00:15:52People who listen at keyholes rarely hear good of themselves.
00:15:57Well, I knew we weren't up here on a holiday, Pop.
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Please tell Birmingham bring Carr around at once.
00:16:02Okay, Pop.
00:16:03Hello, Lieutenant Rourke.
00:16:05Hear, hear, young man.
00:16:06Watch your language.
00:16:07Cut out that lieutenant.
00:16:08I'm Vincent O'Brien down here.
00:16:10Oh, boy, is this interesting.
00:16:15Well, so much for so much.
00:16:18But, Lieutenant Mike, you have not yet told me why you are here.
00:16:22Well, Charlie, we're not as interested in Manning as we are the Goldeneye Mine.
00:16:26After many years of low returns,
00:16:28it suddenly turns out to be one of the biggest and richest mines in the country.
00:16:31I see.
00:16:32Well, any news of discovery of new vein or load?
00:16:36No, that's just it.
00:16:37And there's been no publicity on it.
00:16:39But the way the gold is floating into San Francisco,
00:16:41it's a bonanza, and it's just too good to be true.
00:16:44Well, very strange coincidence permits itself luxury of occurring.
00:16:49Mine suddenly become worth very much.
00:16:51Owner's life become worth nothing.
00:16:53Well, I must go to ranch.
00:16:55You come with me?
00:16:56No, I'd better stay undercover for the present, Charlie.
00:16:59I got some of Driscoll's fingerprints off his glass.
00:17:02I want to send him up to San Francisco for identification.
00:17:04Oh, good.
00:17:05Small things sometimes tell very large stories.
00:17:09Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:19Will not be long.
00:17:21Yes, sir.
00:17:29There's something phony, Jim.
00:17:31I don't understand it.
00:17:32Neither do I.
00:17:39The man's been down that shaft a thousand times.
00:17:49Yes?
00:17:49I'm Chan, dealer in Oriental Curios.
00:17:53Meet Mr. Manning in San Francisco
00:17:55and have brought for him some objects of jade for his approval.
00:18:00Uh-huh.
00:18:00Come in.
00:18:01Thank you so much.
00:18:05My name's Driscoll.
00:18:08I'm manager of Mr. Manning's mine.
00:18:11Meet my wife, Mrs. Driscoll.
00:18:13Mr. Chan.
00:18:14How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:15Very charmed indeed.
00:18:17Mr. Bartlett, the local assayer.
00:18:18How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:19Mr. Bartlett.
00:18:21Well, Jim, I think I'd better be running along.
00:18:23Tell Evelyn good night for me, will you?
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Good night, Margaret.
00:18:26Good night, Al.
00:18:27Mr. Chan?
00:18:30Mr. Manning can't see you just now.
00:18:32I'd be glad to give you a receipt for that jade.
00:18:34Oh, very sorry, but I must deliver jade to Mr. Manning personally.
00:18:39That's impossible.
00:18:40He's had a serious accident.
00:18:41Oh, very unfortunate.
00:18:44Perhaps other member of family present?
00:18:49Just a minute.
00:18:51Sit down.
00:18:51Well, thank you.
00:19:01Evelyn.
00:19:08Yes?
00:19:09There's a man out here, a Chinese.
00:19:11Says he's got some jade for your father.
00:19:15Very large ranch Mr. Manning has.
00:19:17It's not so big compared to some of the others around here.
00:19:20Oh, so?
00:19:22This is Mr. Manning's daughter, Evelyn.
00:19:24Oh, greatly charmed.
00:19:27Regret immeasurably to hear of unfortunate accident to parrot.
00:19:32You have something for my father?
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35Your father, a very old friend of Chan.
00:19:37Many of these objects come from valued collection in San Francisco.
00:19:41I've heard him mention your name.
00:19:43If you like, I can take the jade.
00:19:45I'll see that he gets it.
00:19:46Very sorry.
00:19:47But promise Mr. Manning to deliver jade to him personally.
00:19:50But that's impossible.
00:19:52Well, also impossible to give jade into other hands.
00:19:55But he's unconscious.
00:19:56He has been ever since his fall.
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:59Very strange accident.
00:20:01Could possibly see father.
00:20:04Well, I guess it'll be all right.
00:20:08Come.
00:20:09Yes.
00:20:24Dr. Groves, this is Mr. Chan, an old friend of father's.
00:20:29How do you do, sir?
00:20:30How do you do, doctor?
00:20:32Injuries are very serious.
00:20:34Quite.
00:20:35Multiple contusions about the head and shoulders.
00:20:37It's impossible to tell just how bad without x-rays.
00:20:42I see.
00:20:43Have any idea how far Mr. Manning fall?
00:20:47Oh, about 40 feet.
00:20:4940 feet.
00:20:50Anybody have any idea of cause of fall?
00:20:54None at all.
00:20:56There are iron rungs running down the side of that shaft.
00:20:59Mr. Manning's been up and down him a thousand times.
00:21:01Oh, well, perhaps a case of too much familiarity breeds carelessness.
00:21:06I suppose so.
00:21:07Well, I must be going.
00:21:09I've written out full instructions and left medicine.
00:21:12I'll send a nurse out as soon as I get to town.
00:21:14That won't be necessary.
00:21:15I've arranged for a nursing sister from the mission school.
00:21:17Good.
00:21:18Nurses are at a premium nowadays.
00:21:20Mr. Manning will have to have opiates for several days as soon as he recovers consciousness.
00:21:24I've done all I can for him at the present.
00:21:27Uh, Doctor, we'll accompany you to a car.
00:21:36Talbot had a go.
00:21:37He told me to say goodbye.
00:21:41You know, I'm going to have to rely on the two of you until Dad's better.
00:21:45You can depend on both of us.
00:21:48Oh, thanks.
00:22:06Well, young Mr. Butler, a seer of precious metals.
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:12And when did Charlie Chan, the detective, become Mr. Chan, dealer in oriental art?
00:22:18Oh, so?
00:22:20Don't you remember Bartlett, a collector of customs in Honolulu?
00:22:23Oh, yes.
00:22:24Also remember young Mr. Butler, excellent first baseman who played with number one son on high school teen.
00:22:31What are you doing down here, Charlie?
00:22:32Are you after gold or after Mr. Manning?
00:22:34Well, young men seem to be very full of important information.
00:22:39Not much information, but an awful lot of suspicions.
00:22:43Are you after Manning?
00:22:45No, Chan not after Manning.
00:22:47Mr. Manning come after Chan.
00:22:49Very much afraid some enemy may be threatening life of same.
00:22:53Oh, yes?
00:22:54Yes.
00:22:54Possibility that fall down shaft of mine not accident but deliberate attempt at murder.
00:23:00Mr. Manning have several accidents including someone shoot at him in San Francisco.
00:23:05You know, there's something strange going on at that mine.
00:23:08They're shipping an enormous amount of gold out of it lately.
00:23:11Yes, uh, appear as though Mr. Manning well on the way to be a large millionaire.
00:23:16Exactly.
00:23:17Yes, very interesting circumstance.
00:23:21Yesterday an old prospector came in, not a very honest or reliable one, with some gold ore for me to
00:23:26say.
00:23:27I know enough of the geological formations in this part of the country to know that that ore came from
00:23:32the Golden Eye Mine.
00:23:33Oh, you can be sure?
00:23:35Yes.
00:23:36In fact, he finally confessed that he'd hijacked it from an old disused mine shaft running from a trap door
00:23:41beneath his shack.
00:23:43I guess there was quite a lot of hijacking in the old days.
00:23:45And, uh, now?
00:23:47Well, the mine hasn't been worth anything the past few years, but there are rumors that she's really paying off
00:23:52now.
00:23:53Uh-uh.
00:23:54Uh, what, uh, your assay show?
00:23:57I haven't finished it yet. I'll, I'll know more about it tomorrow.
00:24:00Possibly we'll pay you visit at that time.
00:24:03Fine.
00:24:04Well, I've got to be going along now.
00:24:09I, uh, I thought some of that information might be of value to you.
00:24:13Oh, yes, uh, information, very high-grade ore.
00:24:18Goodbye, Charlie.
00:24:19Goodbye, Mr. Butler.
00:24:22Goodbye.
00:24:52Hello there.
00:24:53Oh, hello, Evelyn.
00:24:56Drop over to have lunch with me?
00:24:57At the Canton Cafe?
00:24:59Yeah, at Tomey and Louise.
00:25:03How's your father?
00:25:04Just the same.
00:25:06He's still unconscious.
00:25:08The nursing sister get there yet?
00:25:09Oh, yes, she arrived almost immediately.
00:25:12She's a weird character.
00:25:13You can hardly get a word out of her.
00:25:22Talbot, has it ever occurred to you
00:25:25there might be something peculiar
00:25:26about the series of accidents Dad has had
00:25:28the past few weeks?
00:25:29So, you've been struck by that, too.
00:25:32Has someone else wondered about it?
00:25:34Yes, Charlie Chan.
00:25:36Chan?
00:25:37You mean Chan the Chinese curio dealer?
00:25:41No, Charlie Chan the great detective.
00:25:44Oh, compliment very refreshing.
00:25:47Oh, hello, Charlie.
00:25:48Come on in.
00:25:50Thank you so much.
00:25:52Of course you met Miss Manning.
00:25:54Oh, yes.
00:25:55I've had extreme pleasure.
00:25:56And that father much better, I trust.
00:25:58No, he isn't.
00:26:00Oh, so sorry.
00:26:02Regret exceedingly was not present
00:26:04when last unfortunate mishap occur.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09It'll be a miracle if he recovers.
00:26:11Yes, true.
00:26:12But in any case, Miss Evelyn be a very wealthy young woman.
00:26:16Wealthy?
00:26:17What do you mean?
00:26:18Rumors say that mine are now producing
00:26:21large quantities of gold in past few months.
00:26:24That's ridiculous.
00:26:26Why, father would have told me if that had been the case.
00:26:28The mine hasn't paid expenses for the past few years.
00:26:31Well, desert present many mysteries.
00:26:50That's ridiculous.
00:26:53Oh, didn't know you had company.
00:26:55I'll come back later.
00:26:57Wait a minute, Pete.
00:27:01What do you want to see me about?
00:27:04Make an assay on that last ore I brought in?
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07It's nothing.
00:27:08It won't run more than $6 to the ton.
00:27:10That's impossible.
00:27:12That's supposed to be pretty high-grade stuff.
00:27:14Now, look, Pete.
00:27:15I know where you got that ore.
00:27:17Now, why don't you make a clean breast of it?
00:27:21How about Miss Manning over there?
00:27:23Anything I learn here will go no further.
00:27:27Uh, pardon, please.
00:27:28You gain entrance to mine through trapped ore in your shack?
00:27:33Maybe.
00:27:34How do you know, stranger?
00:27:36Well, uh, small investigation sometimes brings large amount of knowledge.
00:27:41This, uh, ore is from New Load, recently uncovered in mine.
00:27:46Ah, you're pretty sharp.
00:27:48That ore constantly on a new vein they've opened up in the past three years.
00:27:52Yes, and so far has proved to be most unprofitable.
00:27:57So Bartlett says.
00:27:58I don't figure it.
00:28:00Where's the gold coming from?
00:28:02So you've heard about that too, huh?
00:28:04Well, there's been whispers.
00:28:06So it's common knowledge now that the mine is a heavy producer.
00:28:10Well, some of the boys used to be, uh, pretty interested in the gold and ore.
00:28:15Uh, have keen desire to gain access to mine through secret tunnel tonight.
00:28:20Well, I guess that can be arranged.
00:28:24My shack is at the bottom of Hay Canyon.
00:28:26But what's in it for me?
00:28:28You're lucky I don't turn you in for hijacking gold ore.
00:28:31Yes, we'll be at your shack shortly after dark.
00:28:35Oh, all right.
00:28:45Please do let me know as soon as father able to talk.
00:28:49Yes, I'll do that.
00:28:50Thank you so much. I go now.
00:29:06What do you think you've got to find, Pop?
00:29:08Do not know.
00:29:09Many needles in this haystack.
00:29:26Coming to Rome.
00:29:28Seem nobody home.
00:29:41Well.
00:29:43Strange, all prospect is supposed to meet us here and not here.
00:29:49We'll go on with investigation without permission.
00:29:52Tommy, light light, please.
00:30:11Now, please remove rug. We'll find trapdoor underneath.
00:30:17Gee, Pop, you're right.
00:30:19You're surprised?
00:30:20Well, I...
00:30:21Please open.
00:30:31This ain't my idea of evening entertainment.
00:30:52Come. This way.
00:31:02All right. You go this way. I go that way. We meet back here.
00:31:06Uh, Mr. Chan, if you have to be a little late getting back and don't see me, don't worry, because
00:31:10I'll be way ahead of you.
00:31:12Come on, Furry.
00:31:13Don't rush me now. Don't rush me. You always rush on somebody.
00:31:52Spooky, isn't it? Shh! Don't say that word.
00:31:55I mean, anything can happen down here.
00:31:58Uh-oh. Everything's done happen.
00:32:00What do you mean?
00:32:01Look at that. There's shoes. Wherever there's shoes, there's feet.
00:32:05And wherever there's feet, there's legs. And wherever there's legs, there's a body.
00:32:10Sure looks like it. Gee, I wonder if he's dead.
00:32:16I don't know. Don't care. It'll always remain a mystery to me.
00:32:19We gotta find out.
00:32:20You don't have to be curious, do you?
00:32:22Okay. You go and get Pop.
00:32:23Oh, yeah. I'll go get Pop.
00:32:24Wait a minute. You better come and go with me.
00:32:26No, I gotta stay and watch him.
00:32:27What you gonna watch him for? He ain't going nowhere.
00:32:30Okay. You stay. I'll go get Pop.
00:32:31Wait a minute. No, you won't. You stay. I stay. I've never been so undecided in all my life.
00:32:37Well, make up your mind. Do something.
00:32:38Don't tempt me, boy. You'll be left here alone.
00:32:41Okay. We'll go together.
00:32:43Oh, we'll go together. Now, wait a minute. Now, wait a minute.
00:32:44I'm going with you. Wait a minute.
00:32:46Don't push, ma'am.
00:32:47Don't push you. Don't talk to me. Consult my feet.
00:33:01Boy, it sure is dark in here.
00:33:03Don't tell me it's dark and you scared too. Look how that light's shaking.
00:33:07That's your hand on my arm.
00:33:09Oh.
00:33:18Gee, I wonder where Pop is.
00:33:19I don't know. He went right in there. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan.
00:33:32Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan.
00:33:40Uh-oh. That's that echo again. What is he trying to do? Get me excited or something like that?
00:33:46What is it?
00:33:46Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:33:48Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:33:48We found something, Pop. A dead man in the tunnel.
00:33:50Yes. What does a dead man look like?
00:33:52Dead.
00:33:54Marvelous peace deduction. You show me.
00:33:57Uh, Mr. Chan, y'all go ahead. I think I'll stay here.
00:34:00Oh, what am I doing here alone? Wait a minute for me.
00:34:06Here it is, Pop.
00:34:07Yes. Remove dirt from face.
00:34:11Huh? You heard what your father said?
00:34:19It's an old man.
00:34:21Yes. His old prospector who was supposed to guide us through mine.
00:34:26Murder, Pop?
00:34:27Maybe. Possibly not killed here, but a body brought here to be found.
00:34:32But why?
00:34:33Little knowledge. Sometimes a very dangerous thing.
00:34:35Oh, Mr. Chan, you want us to move the court?
00:34:38Ooh!
00:34:38What do I say? The foolish things?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:41Willingness to speak.
00:34:41Not necessarily mean the willingness to act.
00:34:44No, we leave body as we find.
00:34:45Then not too many questions asked why we are here.
00:34:48As mentioned before, little knowledge.
00:34:50Sometimes very dangerous possession.
00:34:52Come. We go.
00:35:03Hey, Pop. Somebody frisked the joint.
00:35:05Well, yes.
00:35:12Looks like they're wise to us, Pop.
00:35:14Uh, correction.
00:35:15Rather imagine an intruder was looking for non-existent jade.
00:35:19You know, good jade, uh, worth much money today.
00:35:23You straighten up, please.
00:35:39Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:35:40How are you, Charlie?
00:35:41What'd you find out of the mine?
00:35:42Oh, fine dead body of prospector who was supposed to show us through.
00:35:47Murdered?
00:35:48Possibly.
00:35:49Imagine he was possessor of very dangerous information.
00:35:52And you know, think very likely Charlie Chan might find self in same unenviable situation.
00:35:57Yeah, I'm practically in the same boat with you.
00:35:59Oh, no.
00:36:00Wealthy San Francisco playboy on spree.
00:36:02Much better disguise than Chinese curio dealer.
00:36:05Say, they really gave you a join of going over, didn't they?
00:36:08Yes.
00:36:08Certainly did.
00:36:09You know, Charlie, I'm gonna take a gander at that mine the first chance I get.
00:36:12Yes, uh, intend to make second investigation myself.
00:36:15Possibly tomorrow night.
00:36:16I'll go with you.
00:36:17Two heads are better than one, you know.
00:36:18Well, uh, sometimes debatable point.
00:36:22However, we'll welcome assistance which has been very valuable in past.
00:36:26Oh, excuse me.
00:36:32Oh, hello, Mr. Butler.
00:36:33Hello, Charlie.
00:36:35Oh, uh, Mr. O'Brien, a guest here at lunch, and number two son, Tommy.
00:36:42Pleased to meet you.
00:36:43Now, Mr. Chan wants you to pardon the intrusion, but at night time all the numbers look alike.
00:36:48Every one of them.
00:36:49But I want to say one thing.
00:36:50You've got an interesting collection of jade.
00:36:53Very interesting.
00:36:55Very...
00:36:55Excuse me, please.
00:36:58Pleased to meet you.
00:37:00Come here, please.
00:37:22Number two son, about to make self scarce.
00:37:25Oh, gee whiz.
00:37:28Sit down, please.
00:37:31Well, Charlie, did you meet the old prospector, Pete, as you'd arranged?
00:37:34No, was not in the cabin.
00:37:37Yes.
00:37:37There's a mighty good reason for that.
00:37:39His body was found trapped under a fall in the mine a few hours ago.
00:37:43Yes.
00:37:43Uh, body was also discovered by Chan and associates.
00:37:47Oh.
00:37:48You were in the mine.
00:37:49Yes, but, uh, not make very much progress because, uh, fall of timber and ore, which suffocate prospector also effectively
00:37:57block tunnel of mine.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:37:59Why didn't you report finding the body?
00:38:01Well, thought perhaps presence of Charlie Chan and associates there had to explain.
00:38:07By the way, Charlie, uh, just who are your associates?
00:38:11Oh.
00:38:11Number two son, Tommy, and chauffeur, Birmingham.
00:38:15Yes.
00:38:16Uh, however, intend to make second investigation of mine as soon as possible.
00:38:20Tomorrow night?
00:38:22Possibly.
00:38:23Well, I got to be going, Charlie.
00:38:25Let me know what happens and if I can be of any more help, huh?
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Thank you so much.
00:38:34But the whole thing is so puzzling, Talbot.
00:38:38Father should have regained consciousness by now.
00:38:41Skull fractures are like that, Evelyn.
00:38:43In fact, it's a good sign, if anything.
00:38:45It means perfect immobility and quiet.
00:38:47But I'm sure I heard conversation in that room this afternoon.
00:38:51Father must have been conscious.
00:38:53Well, why didn't you go in and investigate?
00:38:55I did.
00:38:56Sister Teresa insisted that no one had been talking.
00:38:59That father was still in a coma.
00:39:01And he certainly seemed to be.
00:39:04That sister Teresa certainly is a peculiar person.
00:39:07You can't find out anything from her.
00:39:09Whether father is better or worse.
00:39:11Whether the situation is dangerous or, or what.
00:39:14Have you told Charlie Chan about this?
00:39:16No, I haven't.
00:39:17Well, why don't you call him up and have him come over here?
00:39:20After all, you know, he, he was hired by your father to find out what this is all about.
00:39:24Yes.
00:39:25Yes, I think I will.
00:39:35That's Jim.
00:39:37Again?
00:39:38Boy, you, you luckiest man I ever did see.
00:39:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:39:43I didn't see you pull that cane.
00:39:49Hello.
00:39:50Mr. Charlie Chan's bungalow.
00:39:52Mr. Charlie Chan, the great Chinese dee, dee, uh, dealers in curio.
00:39:57Jade, Ivory, and what you call them, maps.
00:40:00I'd like to speak to Mr. Chan, please.
00:40:02Mr. Chan is not in.
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:05Would you tell him that Miss Manning called?
00:40:07And I would like to see him as soon as possible.
00:40:09I'm sorry he ain't here, but I'll see that he gets the message right away.
00:40:13Yes, ma'am.
00:40:15It's a lady over the ranch who wants to see Mr. Chan pronto.
00:40:18Don't you mess with them cards, cause I'll be right back.
00:40:25And another thing, Charlie, somebody was watching your bungalow when I left early this evening.
00:40:29And I have a hunch it was Driscoll.
00:40:31Uh-huh.
00:40:31Well, maybe so.
00:40:33Somebody seemed to have great interest in activities of Charlie Chan.
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:37Oh, yes.
00:40:38I received a telegram from San Francisco a little while ago.
00:40:41Driscoll has a criminal record.
00:40:42Good.
00:40:43Good.
00:40:44Now we start to make progress.
00:40:47Come in.
00:40:51Uh, Mr. Chan?
00:40:52Yes.
00:40:53The lady at the ranch says she wanted to see you right away.
00:40:55Oh, good.
00:40:56Thank you, Birmingham.
00:40:57Please get car.
00:40:58We'll be with you immediately.
00:40:59Yes, sir.
00:41:03Well, more events may be taking place.
00:41:06By the way, expedition planned to mine tunnel tonight must be postponed.
00:41:10We'll see you later.
00:41:11Okay, Charlie.
00:41:16Sit down and relax, honey, or we'll have to be getting a nurse for you.
00:41:29Come in, Mr. Chan.
00:41:30Mm-hmm.
00:41:34Mr. Chan, I just felt that I had to send for you.
00:41:37Oh, very much complimented.
00:41:39Hello, Mr. Chan.
00:41:40Mr. Bartlett.
00:41:41I can tell you what's bothering me in a sentence, Mr. Chan.
00:41:44My father's supposed to be still unconscious.
00:41:47Yet, I'm certain that I heard a conversation in that room this afternoon.
00:41:50Well, perhaps a guest in-house.
00:41:53There's been no one here.
00:41:55Well, let us seize upon the fact.
00:41:56Father unconscious, yet can talk.
00:41:59It looks that way.
00:42:01Perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the sick room.
00:42:03Oh, most admirable suggestion.
00:42:04All right.
00:42:05This way.
00:42:19Mr. Chan would like to take a look at Father, Sister Teresa.
00:42:22His condition is unchanged.
00:42:29Proceed, however, you have changed bondages.
00:42:33That was considered necessary.
00:42:35The doctor was afraid of germs.
00:42:37The interior of the mine was probably alive with them.
00:42:40Oh, yes, of course.
00:42:40Possibly you were anticipating tetanus.
00:42:45Tetanus?
00:42:46Yes.
00:42:47Tetanus.
00:42:49Lockjaw.
00:42:50Oh, of course.
00:42:51Lockjaw.
00:42:52We have been afraid it might develop.
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:55What are doctors' opinion of continued state of coma?
00:42:59There's nothing to be done.
00:43:01I report to him twice daily by telephone.
00:43:03Hmm.
00:43:08Perceive you have been injecting opiates into Mr. Manning.
00:43:13Why?
00:43:14If Mr. Manning should regain consciousness,
00:43:17he might become very violent because of terrific pain.
00:43:20Oh.
00:43:21So sorry.
00:43:31Oh, please pardon clumsiness.
00:43:34Very fortunately, a bottle not break.
00:43:37Thank you so much.
00:43:48Well, Charlie, what do you think?
00:43:51Well, much mystery here.
00:43:54Many questions only receive answer when Mr. Manning regained consciousness.
00:43:58If that ever happens.
00:43:59Yes.
00:44:00But have feeling everything now running toward logical conclusion.
00:44:04But must go now.
00:44:05Much to be done.
00:44:12Goodbye, Charlie.
00:44:18You know, he just doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:44:22Don't be impatient, Evelyn.
00:44:23Jan never shows his hand till all the chips are in the center of the table.

00:58:49I've just seen it.
00:58:50You saw what?
00:58:50A body over there.
00:58:51Some drink all down in pajamas all wrapped up and ready to be delivered.
00:58:55Pajamas wrapped up?
00:58:56Yes, sir.
00:58:57All with the eyes.
00:58:58Good.
00:58:58You show us.
00:58:59Oh, yes, sir.
00:58:59I'll show you.
00:59:00Wait a minute, Tommy.
00:59:01You go ahead and only show them.
00:59:02You got a better light than I am.
00:59:03Go ahead.
00:59:03Now, come on, Mr. Chan.

00:59:09Let's cut a course and keep an eye on them.
00:59:18There he is.
00:59:19Right in there, Mr. Chan.
00:59:19Right in that cart.
00:59:21Birmingham, this no time for foolish play.
00:59:23Where's Buddy?
00:59:23Well, it's right in there.
00:59:25Uh-oh.
00:59:25Well, it was in there.
00:59:26You sure you saw it?
00:59:28Mr. Chan, when it comes to the corpse, I do not make a mistake.
00:59:31Very strange.
00:59:31Dead men cannot walk.
00:59:33Well, we can run.
00:59:33Come on.
00:59:34Let's go.
00:59:34You know, believe that dead men probably Mr. Munning.
00:59:38The man who had the accident?
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:40Also, think it necessary we immediately go to Munning Ranch.
00:59:43Come.
00:59:43There's way out this way.
00:59:44That's the best thing that I can do is get out.
00:59:48Well, he went there.
00:59:55The car.
00:59:56Let's fill it up and push it down.
01:00:05Kick out that stop.
01:00:14Hey, Pop.
01:00:15Hey, Pop.
01:00:16There's a truck loose.
01:00:20Let's go.
01:00:21Go.
01:00:39Mr. Chan, you're talking about a shave.
01:00:41That's the closest shave I ever did have.
01:00:43You said it, Birmingham.
01:00:44Must hasten and get Lieutenant Mike and then go immediately to Munning Ranch.
01:00:48Case rapidly approaching climax when attempt life of Charlie Chan.
01:00:51And associates.
01:00:52Yes, Colonel.
01:00:53Yes, sir.
01:01:02Wait a minute, Lieutenant Mike, please.
01:01:04Think it better if Charlie Chan go in alone to avoid suspicion.
01:01:08We'll give signal if necessary.
01:01:10Okay, Charlie.
01:01:20Gee, I hope Pop isn't walking into anything.
01:01:22Don't worry, Tommy.
01:01:24Your father will be all right.
01:01:25Why put your head into a lion's mouth?
01:01:44Oh, come in, Mr. Chan.
01:01:50Any new developments?
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:53Have just come from mine.
01:01:56Your father is...
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:58Dad's still unconscious.
01:02:00Pardon, please.
01:02:01You say father's still unconscious?

01:02:09But is there no answer to this mystery?
01:02:12Possibly more progress made than can be imagined.
