good evening sir evening

i'll telegraph ahead and have the army

meet us at victoria falls and close off

the station

is it true that poor young man what's

his name he's dead

uh chandrasen i'm afraid so

we need to spread rumors need me jack

quite dead

murdered

by a knife

in the chest

the murderer

must be aboard this very train

indeed

the kakaliki soup is rather nice today

sir

i'm sorry mother no

no

your highness

did you never meet your fellow

countryman chandra sen before

no more than you have met every

englishman who's traveled away from

england sir

oh

of course

stupid of me and he was not of your cast

brahmin is it not

of course

i'll have the rose shelter spring lock

and the ostrich symbol

and you sir

i i think no it sounds a little too

gamey for my taste

watson

this is africa

may i inquire if mr saint was involved

in the theft of the state of africa mr

holmes

i really couldn't say

so the stone was not found when he's

personally

no it's not

ah too bad too

bad so

who might the killer be

or perhaps you could give us your

thoughts on the matter mr mavropolos

no i'm afraid not

great

yes

there was a young native boy probably

around the lounge car at about the time

of the murder

he was about um 15 years old

the little thief most probably i shooed

him back to native class of course

he would have passed mr sen's

compartment on his return

probably went inside to find something

to steal

and send found him on his return

really

do you think you can find the boy i

never forget the face

let's have a look

[Music]

excuse me mr holmes

[Music]

yes

[Music]

[Music]

my eyes hand over that diamond now

what were you doing in the first class

coach

you know you're not allowed to be there

just looking bus i wanted to see what

it's like i i never got your name

now listen to me boy

you'd better come up with that diamond

before we reach victoria falls wow have

you hang for murder

they won't just hang you

[Music]

they'll do it very slowly

your neck will stretch and stretch

there'll be three days of horrible pain

before you die

you understand me

you suppose

the rest of you

you make sure he finds that diamond

if you know what's good for you

sorry mr

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i wish i'd done something to protect

that boy you mustn't approach yourself

it sounds to me as if the lad was no

more than scared

did mr roosevelt shed any light on

matters

only on the matter of amelia morrison

nay roosevelt apparently

they were third cousins

it seems that the family had tried to

marry her off before two fiances first

of all threw her over

i'm not surprised

i waited this time she came with a large

diary attached

quite so

and it seems that within weeks of the

wedding morrison spent every penny of it

to pay off some outstanding debts of his

own

oh

by the how'd you do

a member of the most refined and highest

of castes

should say anything so crude as

which means

the son of a pig

really

wouldn't expect a lady of any cars to

say such a thing

uh

so

[Music]

[Music]

contingent around the trains

[Music]

[Music]

no passengers are to leave this platform

without my express permission

to make myself clear yes sir

yes sir

ladies and gentlemen please move back to

the platform please move back clear the

platform thank you

thank you sir

[Music]

ladies and gentlemen

[Music]

soldiers prepare to search the train

line them up on the platform

here you are

this is the moisture he was seen

sneaking around the first hospital

get him he's running for it get that boy

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

wow

i'm most exciting welcome i fear for the

life of that boy

you think he's innocent oh definitely i

just hope that armed rabble doesn't

shoot you before i can prove it

those raw recruits will never catch him

this calls for the most highly developed

tracking skills the kind of man homes

hunting game on the giant prairies of

the usa

or of course of

the world's most preeminent human

bloodhound

[Music]

[Music]

here

[Music]

he swung across the bog on a vine so he

wouldn't leave any tracks

that's a clever lad

have a look house

[Music]

[Music]

hey

[Music]

ah

these blades of grass have been broken

the boy came

this way

very good homes very good

he's in there notice the grass the

obvious place to escape me through those

trees

there is

[Music]

terribly sorry old chap

and this man prevented me from

[Music]

so we found no trace of a star of africa

on the train or on any of the passengers

very well and release the passengers and

let the train depart yes sir

it would appear that the star of africa

was dropped in the bush somewhere

between victoria falls

and the point at which lieutenant

grissom was so astute

as to threaten the boy was hanging

grissom

what would you do if you'd been accused

of murder and then asked to produce the

very evidence that would prove your

guilt

hand it over throw it away quick now

yes that's a poser sir i'm afraid every

tribe in the country will hide that boy

from us now sir it's not the remotest

chance of us ever finding him i'm

terribly sorry mr helms

not distress yourself sir

the boy is innocent

can you imagine chandra sen the

professional criminal trained from early

childhood as an assassin and a thief

to allow a mere boy and a total stranger

at that to plunge a knife into his chest

dismissed but i said dismissed

yes

[Music]

[Music]

oh

it's lord roberts

i served on him old bob's they used to

call him in the battle of my wand

second afghan war so you have told me

what do you make of the case

it has been completely bungled

yes

i'd say the colonial authorities make

scotland yard look awfully good by

comparison

it is i who have bungled it watson

you are looking at an old fool

an innocent man is still in prison

an innocent boy is still a fugitive and

the diamond is still missing and i am

known here finding the murderer i should

have retired to sussex and let a better

man take over this case

poppycock homes you are the best

i was the best

amelia yeah

ah holmes what's up join us won't you oh

don't mind if i do sir you carry on i'll

watch croquet is not my game

not one of mine either sir i'm afraid oh

nothing's just have to get the hang of

it

good well done good shots

you know it's quite a coincidence really

you're coming here today in search of

the diamond how is that lord roberts

uh only moments ago i saw young james

morrison walking by towards the falls

served under me in india

captain

though

there wasn't many rotters in india not

much else to do

a surprise to find him here though and

married are here

look at me for

seeming dense old roberts but i still

don't see

the coincidence

huh

always because i haven't told you yet

you see it was young morrison's father

colonel morrison who found the star of

africa

extraordinary

morrison father and son

could you tell me a little more of that

it was during the second mata baby war

95 96 i've been called back to africa to

take over command

king global's army had stolen back the

treasure and massacre the british troops

who

confiscated it from the palace

i sent out a party under colonel monson

to bring back the bodies he brought back

something more

[Music]

i'll send it to salisbury under coast

guard

and advise them the discovery back home

good work

thank you sir i should recommend you for

a decoration

thank you sir

and i hope you will give me the pleasure

of tracking down and bringing to justice

the savages responsible for this carnage

indeed i will i've got a scouting party

out now i'll let you know when they

report

very good sir

may i say something sir of course

so according to the army act uh section

12

any soldier who finds unclaimed treasure

is entitled to a monetary reward of 1

20th the value thereof

all right

i'll make mention of that to the war

officer i don't know if it applies in

this case but you can't have to ask

no sir

thank you sir

word came back from the war office that

the diamond which we soon began calling

the star of africa didn't come under the

heading of unclaimed treasure in that

the mata bailey and the british both

claimed

colonel morrison was out of luck in his

reward

to did quite well when i told him

what of the war

it took us three weeks to find the

meadowvale army uh once we did a force

under morrison won the day

and the treasure morrison and his men

searched exhaustedly but they found no

sign of the treasure

it's remained a mystery to this very day

by job i think i won oh capital that

means you buy us all a round of drinks

[Laughter]

what's a distinguished group

just what i want

let me capture this collection of

magnificent percentages against the

magnificent surveyors

mrs

my dear

i commissioned the private inquiry

before we left india the results have

just reached me it seems there is no

trace of your existence before the day

you turned up at the club where you met

the maharaja and myself i now have proof

that you're not a brahmana at all but

are in fact an untouchable from the

state of travancore

you have a choice

you can lose your title and status and

return to obscurity and poverty

or you can marry me tomorrow in the

little church near victoria falls

the hunt is on

the guides on lion tracks

all right divide up and choose but we

can't take the horses

the lions would eat them come on boy

down the only lion of the day well as

you said watson beginner's luck

almost a goner with no help from marconi

apparently no doubt he was about to wire

for help

excuse me

god

dr watson quickly

strangled

what was it

a rumor

just like

not quite

for heaven's sake watson go to bed

stop pacing about

it's hard to sleep knowing someone in

this camp is a cold-blooded murderer

how anyone can sleep at a time like this

[Applause]

[Music]

um

foreign

oh

[Music]

in this bit

[Music]

[Music]

done for hopes

snake

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

has prepared foreign the face of all the

people to be enlightened to the gentiles

and to be the glory of all thy people

israel

[Music]

amen

[Music]

um

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

so

so

lots of lumps but nothing as hard as a

diamond

it appears that although veropolis was

in financial difficulties during the

past two years he's managed to pay off

most of his debts

there's no record of the origin of the

money it's one of the most perplexing

cases i can remember holmes

we have three dead bodies and we're

known nearer finding the murderer or the

star of africa

finished

yes

and now i think it's time for luncheon

i heard a noise i was worried what seems

to be the trouble

this stupid boy

he let someone take a bottle of strong

strong acid when mixed with water is

used for cleaning

why some guests would want i not know

could kill somebody killed many people

did which guest was it

man with the glasses uh and fuzzy hair

over lip and ears

here you are your drink sir oh thank you

homes

no time for lunch i have news a bottle

of poison has been taken from the

kitchen the cook described a man none

other than theodore roosevelt what could

he be doing with such deadly stuff

plotting another murder are you

suggesting that the former president of

the united states is a murderer and a

jewel fee i know what it could be to

quote someone whose opinion i respect

when you excluded the impossible

whatever remains however improbable must

be the truth you know my methods watson

and you have applied them but are you

certain that you have excluded the

impossible

supposing he's an impostor

there isn't a moment to lose

i'll get the key

strange

curtains drawn the full light of day

[Music]

strangers

[Music]

sherlock holmes and dr watson who has a

revolver

what in places is going on homes

is this some kind of a prank

and was it a prankster to make off with

a large amount of deadly acid from the

hotel kitchen

you suspected me

it's hydrochloric acid sir used in

developing

i think it's almost done look

this is how you develop the flickers so

they can be shown

mr president

i am a fool

i

apologize nonsense it is an honor to be

a suspect yet again even briefly of the

great sherlock holmes

i'm going to show these films tonight to

all the hotel guests

[Music]

who is it

i understand

i finally persuaded her to go down to

the bar and annoy her cousin instead of

me

oh darling who is doing this

i wish i knew

i was so convinced that it was

constantine but now that constant is

they must suspect me

i mean

who could have wanted him dead any more

than i

or i

you didn't did you

of course not

should i ask you the same

of course i didn't

not that i didn't think about it and

often

i searched this room from top to bottom

it isn't there

where can it be

he didn't give it to you

did he

are you accusing me of actually taking

the diamond and

but where is it

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

map

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what are you doing here

brought you flowers up

[Music]

stop thee

[Music]

uh mr marconi would you turn off the

lights please

i'm afraid the camera's a little out of

kilter because of the long void it's a

delicate gadget i might be able to mend

it for you mr president

excellent i'll give it to you as soon as

we're finished

all right

here we go

oh isn't that lovely

that is me acting the clown

oh

oh

look at the falls

aren't they absolutely grand

oh

mr holmes looking slightly embarrassed i

think

dr watson is not embarrassed at all

oh

look there's bob's doing his pencil

movements

what a delightful

[Applause]

dance well i hope you liked our own show

the camera oh um

yes ah i will have it back with you as

soon as possible thank you very much

mr roosevelt do you think that you could

show those last few feet of film for me

once more oh yes let me just uh rewind a

little footage

all right

here we go

can you stop the picture from moving

well yes but

they are called moving pictures

oh

[Music]

oh my my

good morning good morning mr hayes has a

telegram come to me from england i'm

afraid not sir the wires are down

play yes

by giraffes

they have this nasty habit of not

ducking when they walk between the

telegraph poles

happens every few months

when can it be repaired

it could be a week till the engineer

gets out here

let's see

is there any other way to get a message

to or from england

oh yes by runner and steamer but it

requires 17 days

i see thank you you're welcome sir

senor marconi

forgive me if i intrude upon your

leisure

no intrusion at all sir did you by any

chance bring your wireless with you i

never go anywhere without it in your

homes and could you send a message to

london for me

from here to london

no

someday i hope to achieve that

i see

well thank you for your time

but

i might be able to reach a british ship

approaching the cape

and she could relay the signal to

another one of west africa and so on and

so on until we reach the london office

could you indeed

i wonder if you'll be good enough to

transmit this

see

it will take some time i will begin

straight away

thank you

what

they stole the map who did

that gardener fellow

what in the devil did we do all this

more

diamond

now no map

you are absolutely worthless all right

it's all right i know what to do

that's novel

good afternoon

says to come at once

stop

and veterinary gamblers stop

all lost fortunes at calcutta club to a

certain

maraga bantini

portuguese gambler and confidence

trickster now locked up in howrah prison

stuff discharge

stop

is that correct

i hope this information helps you with

your investigations in your homes

it does you know marconi it does much

more than you can imagine

didn't sound all that helpful to me

watson do you remember the curious

incident of the dog in the night time

uh the dog did nothing in the nighttime

that was the curious incident

i have adjusted the frame plate on your

camera very slightly it should work well

now fine

fresh air just what you need

don't you dare ruin my day

speaking in concert

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

how goes the investigation huh it goes

into snail's pace i'm sorry to say mr

president

then you don't know who stole the

starvation

yes i know that

oh

keep me in suspense no longer

the safe was robbed

somebody or something

two has still been much of mine

i always respected him

oh

a woman

but who has the diamond then

none of them it seems

oh

but

if they stole the star of africa why

would they come to victoria falls

instead of fleeing the country with the

greatest of haste

because the theft of the dam is only

half of the crime that they intend to

commit

please tell us the other answer

you will recall the story of the lord

i will tell you the story is not based

on an impeachable history but it is

deduced facts well tell away sir

captain morrison's father colonel morris

and his men conquered

just imagine

small changed story

one of the matabili got away

colonel morrison followed

i don't know where he led him possibly

to some hidden pit or cave that is for

us to discover

wherever the hiding place may be i'm

quite certain that i know what was

hidden there

[Music]

[Music]

okay

[Music]

colonel morrison reported to lord

roberts that he had found no trace of

the treasure

he revealed otherwise in the family

bible

[Music]

young morrison will be murdering all of

his accomplices in order to save all the

treasure for himself

perhaps

[Music]

just follow me

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

become a faint and slip it off of the

bridge

so it would seem

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Music]

what's up

i think you should carry out a

postmortem

good god she was torn apart by a

crocodile

you saw it happen

nevertheless

[Music]

a horrible way to die

if indeed that is the way she died

the question is

was she alive

when she hit the water

ah

well

at least mr roosevelt's bullets put a

stop to the beast before it could ravage

her face and neck

for which we should be grateful

what do you make of this

a little scratch

the left arm and shoulder recovered to

them

now she must have been flung against the

bank

is this mark on her neck also a scratch

doctor

nope

looks like a small foreign object

a dart

tipped with

radix pedestaboli

a poison extracted from the devil's foot

root by many of the local tribes

such as the matabele

it's possible

camaro is our killer then

he burnt madison's map he was on the

train

he has a matabili

the tribe connected with the treasure

kamala is certainly the guide to finding

the treasure but if he is the murderer

and how do you explain the rumor which

killed mobrolos

well another thuff must have killed him

the maharani

ridiculous a woman

i would very much like to see her chest

the tattoo watson tattoo oh

it was morrison

he picked up the secrets of the thugs

when he was serving in india

also possible he must have killed

mcrobonus

to try and keep some of the treasure for

himself

and kumalo killed mrs morrison am i

right

you know whats and i'm quite convinced

that somebody wants me to reach exactly

the same conclusion that you have done

good

boom

the murderer

[Music]

[Music]

one

god world without him

amen

[Music]

um

[Music]

foreign

the entire left side of my body has gone

to sleep

shift your weight watson

i can't shift my weight because the

entire left side of my body is asleep

are you actually sure it'll be tonight

holmes it's almost tomorrow

i've been wrong on three occasions

watson who can tell this might be the

fall

follow him

no

follow them

who

[Music]

theme

uh

god

[Music]

what did

surely he knows he's being followed

oh yes he knows

why doesn't he lead them into a trap the

same way he did me

that's exactly what he is doing watson

ah

[Music]

good

[Music]

[Music]

duty

[Music]

disappeared in there

[Music]

this must be the cave my father told me

about

so this is it

[Music]

finally your guard

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

be on your god

[Music]

where is he he must have taken a turning

which we missed

look at this

[Music]

and i thought my father never do

anything for me

[Music]

how are we ever going to get all of this

out of here

you need not worry about that

neither the treasure nor you are going

to leave this chamber alive

drop your weapons

now

where is the kudono stone

what you call the star of africa

we don't have it

you must believe us

but somebody must have stolen it from

him when he was killed by the two of you

no honestly

killed no one

they're all dead now

who else but you could have killed them

that is indeed questioned

because

kill him and we'll divide the treasure

with you yes the way you divided it with

avropolis

tulip

sen

and mrs morrison we didn't kill them

we don't know who did

emilia had nothing to do with this she

was perfectly innocent you must believe

that

such a loving husband all of a sudden

you just leave the media out of

at least she this

kind and

honest loyal and rich

and a pig

enough

you married your wife

her inheritance captain morrison

and you spent it all

to pay off gambling debts run up playing

cards with maharaja jabalpur

and constantine mavropolis all of you

losing to an unscrupulous confidence

trickster card shop by the name of

maraga bantini

was it then that you met the maharani

and fell in love with her

did you tell her about your father's man

and what did she who took mavropolos

into financing this expedition by making

him believe that he had a chance of

gaining her affections what off it

this worthless bore

his only saving grace was his fortune

just like your dreary wife

unfortunately for you madam because of

business failures and gambling debts

marvelous had no fortune he was not

worth one penny

that's ridiculous he paid for everything

[Music]

a brahmana in order to start a better

life

were raised

by the tugs

[Music]

holmes

how did you know that chandrasen was the

maharani's brother

it was written in their faces

the likeness was there for all who care

to look but

too many people see but do not observe

sir

we have sad news

i want you to gather together all the

guests of the hotel

i'm afraid i can't most of them checked

out during the night

due to the death

what

you know about the death

yes of course it came by wire

exactly what death are we talking about

his majesty king edward of course

what

the king

tell me everything you know

uh he died of a severe bronchial melody

the president of the united states mr

taft

telegraphed ex-president roosevelt

asking him to represent his country at

the funeral

he left on the overnight train to catch

a steamer in cape town

when senor marconi heard about it he

decided to go also saying that he felt

it was time to attempt a reconciliation

with his wife

that's everything i know

of course

of course

what a fool i feel

i must join that steamer can we get to

cape town before it sails impossible the

next train for cape town isn't for

another three days you could board the

next ship perhaps only a day later

i'll consult my timetables here no no

there's no time for that

i must get to england no later than the

party that left last night or england

will never see the star of africa again

can't we go overland by some other means

no i'm afraid the train is the fastest

wait there is one way that might just

get you

if you take the morning train north to

zanzibar then catch a steamer there

through the sewers canal across the

mediterranean then travel by rail from

gibraltar you might just make it

what time is that train

it's due

too old now this damage

there's one thing i don't understand

from whom did miropolis borrow the money

for the expedition

bantini

yes

bantini was in hour of prison

no he was not

he was in cape town when the star was

stolen

he was on the train when chandrasen was

murdered he was on safari when mcropolos

was strangled

and he was under the bridge to blow the

dart into mrs morrison's neck he was

clever but not clever enough

mark

really watson

elementary

we must find marconi at once mr

roosevelt mr roosevelt

mr holmes dr watson

mr president it is of the utmost urgency

that i should find your moving picture

camera at once oh well i gave it to

marconi he volunteered to photograph the

funeral

[Music]

[Music]

what are you doing here

dr watson how nice to see you

hey

imposters

lower it slowly

[Music]

gotcha telegram mr holmes we came as

soon as we could

not a moment too soon

right

what is the meaning of this the marconi

company will lodge a formal protest with

the government

you can drop to pretense

we know that you are not senior marconi

you are maraga bantini and you are

wanted for fraud by the authorities in

india and you will soon be wanted for

grand larceny and murder by the

authorities in south africa

i checked at mr holmes request it

appears that senor marconi and his wife

are on holiday on the way to america

on that brand new vessel the titanic has

to imagine no no the maiden voyage was

delayed so they had to change to another

vessel

rotten

when he borrowed this contraption

ostensibly to repair it

take him to the yard

thank you so much mr holmes

uh my instructions are to take the star

of africa for safekeeping mr holmes oh

yes

[Music]

goes

stays

goes

straight

goes stairs

in fact i'll stay as well the bees can

wait a while

your brother sir

his majesty king george was not amused

minecraft what a pleasant surprise

i'll venture that you're not surprised

in the least

with great ceremony the police have just

handed over a worthless false diamond to

the keepers of the crown jewels

oh yes

the counterfeit stern that i handed to

the straw he looked so pompous i

couldn't resist the temptation

i suppose that this is the closest that

i will ever come

to handing the star of africa personally

to my sovereign

as i planned

so

you kept the real diamond

and substituted a fake one when you

handed it over to lestrade

perhaps

either that or i switched them in cape

town in the vault the night before the

robbery

well i never

so you had the real stone all the time

and the thieves had the fake one could

that be true

when you write the story wilson

you decide

[Music]

you
