i hope you'll pardon my mentioning this

mr wentworth but

you've been acting very curiously lately

well now this will

well what can a man make his will of

course but

if you're thinking of destroying

yourself forget about it why should i

want to commit suicide well you're ship

burning and all i suppose it's been

praying on your mind but i'm not fool

enough to kill myself over it

well i'm glad to hear that

i suppose you'll be uh going off to your

mountain lodge not yet

why not

you mean that matter of the million and

a half in bonds yes that's on my

conscience too i advised you against

accepting that shipment i know it it's

the only shady thing ever did in my life

then you better go before the maritime

commission tomorrow and clear the whole

thing up vicky you crazy no it's the

only thing to do but they'll immediately

accuse me of sabotaging my own ship

i advised you against it when you first

asked me about it and now i advise you

to go before the commission

don't conceal a thing

i'll do it i'm sorry i didn't listen to

you in the first place it'll come out

sympathy and my help i don't need your

sympathy and i can't conceive of any

shipping lines would be of benefit to

put up with you

that you can worm your way into my

business through a family marriage

detective is going to be special

investigator on the case i worked with

him before honey and you've got nothing

to worry about he's terrific oh good

thank you bobby there you are oh thank

you i'll keep in touch with you honey

hi casey

captain street in now wait a minute

slogan

you're not going to get past me this

time

captain street gave strict orders no

one's going in okay okay i wouldn't

think of going in without your

permission

what's up

they picked up the fleming lad for the

murder of all man wentworth the

captain's got him in there now oh boy

this is worth waiting for

how many times do i have to tell you i

didn't do it ah

everybody knows that you and your father

were enemies it went worth that you had

a quarrel with wentworth because he

wouldn't let you marry his daughter is

that right suppose it is that still

doesn't mean i killed him no but you

were the last one with him when he was

killed we can establish that and why

didn't you take the elevator down

elevator

well it was only on the second floor it

was after hours

i didn't think anything of walking down

won't hold water

why didn't you leave with the outer

office mr wentworth showed me to the

hall

do you know your father was waiting no

why don't you come clean kid and i'll do

all i can to help you i don't want your

help i'm innocent i tell you so you're

innocent i'm with you there how you

gonna prove your innocence i don't know

what'd you do with a gun gun i didn't

have a gun what about this permit issue

to use six months ago oh that we had a

series of robberies in our neighborhood

and i was granted a permit at the time

so forgot about that

it's been on my study desk at home i

never used it then the gun should still

be there that's correct what would you

think of a told you i had a man checking

that the gun is gone gone look your own

father admits that you were having a

violent call with wentworth at the time

of the shooting

now if you didn't kill him you know who

did i don't know anything about it did

you shoot him in self-defense no

kill him in a bit of insanity

i didn't shoot him i tell you

look son don't you see we've established

a motive we've established the fact that

you were with wentworth at the time he

was killed you haven't got a leg to

stand on now why don't you make a

complete confession

i didn't do it

lock him up boys

what do you want what's the story have

you printed anything yet no i'm giving

you a break bill i'm holding out until i

get all the facts well it's lucky for

you because this is one case i've washed

up in a hurry well yeah well what's the

story well this is the way it ought to

be printed take it down

two hours after cyrus p wentworth

well-known shipping magnet was found

shot to death in his office captain

william street of the homicide squad

acting with lightning-like speed

arrested and charged with first-degree

murder

the socially prominent son of paul

fleming long-standing enemy of the

wentworth interest

well you haven't taken anything down oh

i've got the most important part the

lightning-like speed of captain street

now look this case is closed i've got

that kid dead to right

mr wong i hope i'm not intruding

wong what's brought you here i phoned

him are you buttoned into my business

again sure i knew you'd arrested the

wrong man you always do now you listen

to this thought i'd like to check into a

few details tweet you don't mind i'm

sure you're wasting your time won't time

is cheap for those who have it to spend

okay if you can prove to this nosy

reporter that i'm right

did you get the list yes

what list

i asked miss logan to get me a list of

the passengers who were on the wentworth

castle when she was burned

say you haven't got a notion that the

burning of the wentworth castle had

anything to do with that fleming kid

killing wentworth have you well i have

no preconceived notions that's more than

i can say for you bill

hmm interesting

what's interesting remember the

passengers for chinese

little bear investigation street why

well you know the burning of the ship

was rather suspicious in the first place

it may be that the relatives of those

who were lost have an idea of revenge oh

for the love of mine

you mean to tell me that i've got the

realities of 400 drowned people i

suspect

i'm afraid so street

at any rate it won't hurt to investigate

this list

is your car here yes downstairs where

can i take you

may i borrow miss logan you can have her

for keith

when we get through with the case the

homicide squad will be the used car

squad

yes

have blake follow mr wong and miss logan

i don't want anything to happen to mr

wong

[Music]

is this the plane

no

but you stay here and wait for me i'll

be back a few minutes

[Music]

it's logan

[Music]

pressure

[Music]

the honorable wong is here on personal

business or in his official capacity i

am here on behalf of the police

[Music]

[Applause]

you heard of the burning of the

wentworth castle

unfortunate disaster do you recognize

the names of any of our countrymen on

this list

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

one

kyling

most trusted member of our town

i have no desired pride of the affairs

of tom

i would like to know the reason of this

journey

he was on a secret mission for the town

and what was the nature of his mission

[Music]

kyling was bringing a million and a half

in gold bonds from havana

why

conditions in our country are such

that we had to bring the tongue funds to

this country for safekeeping

it had to be done secretly to avoid

international complications so they were

being smuggled in aboard the wentworth

castle

the tiling's amongst the survivors so of

course you have the bombs no

kyling

has disappeared

[Music]

you know of course that the owner of the

wentworth castle is dead

no member of this town is guilty of such

a deed

and no one else had any idea of the

existence of the bombs

no one else

unless perhaps a rival tall

but we can't be sure no

thank you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh gee i'm glad you're

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

get that back tom

[Applause]

i know it's nothing

what is it

[Music]

get in with a thousand not necessarily

the police are up oh come on we're going

to the receiving hospital

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

give me the bottle please

and this one

you might have used a red hot poker

this is a ridiculous fuss over a simple

fresh wool now never mind we're not

gonna take any chances of infection

you've got to have at least one

intelligent detective working on the

case

how is the doc or just a flesh wound

i'll keep business sling for three days

very well

all right wong who shot you could have

been an accident did i ask you

all right who did it i don't know now

look wong

i had blake follow he saw that guy pull

up in that black car and take a shot at

you and he chased him well then you know

what happened who was it i don't know

the car was wrecking when he got there

there was nobody in it

it must have been a phantom doesn't make

any difference who it was the next time

you get any wild ideas like this and

don't tip me off there's going to be

trouble i don't need you on this case

but i might need you on a future one so

you still think you've solved it huh yes

i do

young fleming didn't and if he didn't

i'll eat my hat i'll see that you do

thank you doctor

thank you

come again i hope

[Music]

thomas reed i'll see you all college

well my views mr fleming

very happy to know that you've taken

over the business thanks

too bad we couldn't have worn before

cyrus died yes isn't it a pity

we gotta expect you to carry on as usual

matthews thanks

so now to be associated with you

by the way i'd like to have a digest for

the last six months business yes sir

i'll tend to it right away

so that's where you put it

i knew i saw it on the floor

be rather awkward for you if the police

knew

it would be awkward for my son

he was in here just before cyrus

committed suicide before

yes

and it was suicide matthews it could

have been

i could swear it was uh for a

consideration

how much

it should be worth a partnership and

twenty five thousand dollars

is the deal

who's in there

mr matthews mr fleming

is it

oh captain street

well mr fleming special investigator

wong is the fleming kid's father how do

you do how do you do mr walton

i have been told that you're going to

try to clear my son who told you that

miss logan a friend of my son's fiancee

oh wentworth's daughter huh you know man

wentworth didn't sanction this thing

drove the kid to desperation too bad you

had to hear the argument what did

wentworth say to me the kid shoot him

how could i be of service if well first

of all we'd like to know what you're

doing in this office well miss frankfort

asked me to take over her father's

business been waiting a long time for

that haven't you yes but i didn't commit

murder to get my wish so you had your

son to it isn't that right

i was a business rival of mr wentworth

but i was not his enemy of course not

i understand that you were amongst first

find the body

now just where was it

sorry i should say

about here

signs of violence or struggle

no you read the police report wong yes

but things can be rearranged you know

by any chance was there any evidence of

that

no i stayed here until the police came

and nothing was disturbed i can vouch

for that

and so neither of you left the room no

sir

were you out there yes hear loud voices

yes you see these two men threaten each

other i couldn't see them the door was

closed you know your boss left a lot of

enemies oh a lot of friends would you

say that this man and his son were

friends yes i would what would wentworth

say to that statement well mr winter

didn't consider a competitor a friend oh

better against him huh particularly his

biggest competitor hated him and this

man and his son hated what word i

couldn't say as to that but you would

say that the boy killed him no on the

contrary who did

i couldn't tell you

did you say that he was a suicide

well he was quite despondent sir you've

been with this office a long time yes

sir

probably mentioned in the world well i

wouldn't know so would

his attorney mr martin suicide clausen

that insurance contract would cancel it

wouldn't it i dare say so you took the

trouble i had to go oh no sir

here's the list mr wang what list what

do you care you caught the killer didn't

you i asked the names of all the callers

in the office yesterday

man named ludlow and a countryman of

mine named len howe

i suppose you saw them lem was mr

winter's personal servant ludlow was

discharged chauffeur meaning nothing you

say he was discharged yes sir he came to

plead for his job back

what time was that early in the day sir

shall we go street

thank you very much jack

see wong they're trying to clear that

kid i'll make you eat your hat yes

[Applause]

found him on the fire escape chief

yeah who are you

chief of police

why he's the wentworth chauffeur

what were you doing on the fire escape

parking my car hard to get along with

huh

no i just don't get chummy with

strangers that's so

ever seen one of those

i've seen a lot of them haven't you

don't like cops at all

you better start talking or lock you up

what for prowling and why were you

discharged i was a bad bad boy

i got drunk and when was that

a month ago

are you looking for trouble

no

i'm just trying to find some clue to

help the fleming boy

what's your interest in him

i miss cynthia's show for now aced

yourself right back in again

all right you can go but don't leave

town

tail em right

tough customer that one oh i never did

like him i wish cynthia hadn't hired him

i'm gonna make her fart oh why don't you

mind your own business you're always

butting into things that don't concern

you you sure can send a lot of work talk

the talk is big enough uh can i drop you

any place you want well i know where you

can drop me yeah so do i on your head

oh no fleming

it's gone

i'm very glad to meet you mr wong won't

you sit down thank you cynthia told me

you were on the case a very curious case

mr martin

dick is incapable of committing murder i

quite agree with you

is there anybody else that you suspect i

know of no one to suspect i wish i did

for dick sick

you were very close to mr webber

adventure closer than anyone he gave me

my start i owe him whatever success i've

had

you saw him shortly before his death

didn't you within the very hour was

anything said at that time that might

help us

no

matter his insurance policies on the

illustrated ship

but i believe they're going to be paid

they have

he's been completely exonerated that he

obviously wasn't worrying about that

he had been under a strain ever since a

disaster in fact i was afraid that he

contemplated doing away with himself

really why because i just made out a new

will which he signed then seeming

anxious to get it over with

suicide

might be

but then there's the matter of the

garden

he could hardly dispose of that if he

had a bullet in his heart might not

someone else have taken it to conceal

that it was suicide

i see what you mean the boy for instance

perhaps thinking of the girl

heavens no

put himself on a spot i doubt if any man

is capable of that much chivalry

it's true isn't it that the company was

in rather low water

even before the wentworth castle was

burned i thought no one outside knew

that well i gathered that from the stock

market quotations

conditions are not entirely due to the

times

in fact large sums of money have been

disappearing from the company funds

oh

and who knew that besides you and mr

wedford matthews he had access to the

funds yes but he's been tireless in his

efforts to stop the leak hmm

i can quite understand that i'm

reluctant to believe matthews was in the

same room with fleming when the shot

occurred but fleming may have turned his

back just for the moment that it took to

open the door and fire the shot with

matthews in the same room if you'll send

for your secretary i'll give you a

demonstration

certainly

yes sir miss wilson this is mr wong how

do you do how do you do if you'll sit

down please

if you don't mind i'm going to try a

little experiment with these two coins

no it's not going to hurt you i'll just

close your eyes and i'll snap these two

coins

in front of your head behind your head

and over your head and you tell me where

the sound comes from

all right

are your eyes closed

in back of my head

in

front still in front

thank you very much

well was i right not once

was there something wrong with me well

hardly

[Applause]

that certainly is one for the book

i wonder

maybe dick so he was in the room with mr

wentworth i don't know but i'll make him

tell i don't say a word about the coin

trick we may need that in the defense

thank you very much

[Music]

so

[Music]

wait great scott it's you mr wong

[Applause]

[Music]

didn't i see someone at the fire escape

you did it was someone who'd been

opening the safe the safe

did you recognize him it was too dark

well we'd better call the police no i

don't believe i would if i were you but

we can't afford to overlook a single

clue dick's case is getting hopeless i

know but please don't lose confidence in

me

i assure you miss wentworth we are not

going to lose your case thank you mr

wong

it's funny didn't make an effort to stop

him

look here cynthia

i don't like this crawling around at

night

i might have put a bullet through

well i'm sorry

after all i've done for you you might at

least show a little gratitude

oh you're not pulling any wool over my

eyes bell street you're up to one of

your tricks and i'm gonna find out what

it is about the camp here all night no

why don't you leave me alone i told you

a thousand times i'm not holding out any

news stories on you well then where's

juan oh i know i'm not his mother

street you got ludlow

yeah you want him yes i'd like to talk

to him

blake bring ludlow in so you were

holding out on me huh well what is this

about little come on give tell me all

right all right so my men did pick him

up but i haven't got a thing on him oh

don't lie on me now wait a minute this

female reporter's driving meet batty

look sweetheart mr wong and i crave

secrecy we want to be alone i don't get

the hint you don't get the hint

logan one of these days i'm going to get

my hands on that lily white neck of

yours and

is chief

so we meet again mr ludlow the

pleasure's all yours

nice of your boys to park their car

right underneath my fire escape

do you room and board on that fire

escape no now miss logan why be your

usual sweet nasty self

anytime you want a character reference

just come to me oh sure sure

you see we're both the same type

you write lies and i tell them bill

street are you going to stand for that

sure

well sit down ludlow

thanks commissioner i will

you know

you'd save us a great deal of trouble if

you just answer one question

i'll answer anything you ask but

don't expect the truth well i'm quite

sure you could tell the truth just once

if you really tried

you'd be a fool to believe anything i

told you

you know who killed wentworth

what was on that piece of paper that you

burned up

now who'd ever think that someday i'd be

telling the truth

what name did you read on that piece of

paper

i don't know nothing about nothing

you know i can have you sent up for safe

breaking

it was open when i got there i'm afraid

you forget that i was there

oh then you opened it oh why mr wong

i'm quite serious about sending you up

and so am i

now get this

i didn't kill the old man i didn't see

it done i ain't making any wild guesses

as to who did it if i find out i'll give

you the tip the sooner you quit tailing

me and interfere with me the sooner

you're going to get that tip and that's

the truth ha ha

lock em up no no street

i think i'd let him go

you don't believe that crook do you

yes i do

all right get out of here

thanks for the interview

hope i didn't help you any

blake

i know what he's up to street but i

think we can anticipate him

hey if you got something up your sleeve

well there's an answer to every ripple

you know and i think perhaps this is it

what is that

ashes oh look we're trying to solve a

murder and you're carrying ashes around

is that going to tell us who killed

wentworth no but it may be a clue is the

reason of the killing and once we know

that we are very close to knowing the

identity of the killer

you need some infrared film street you

better use a photographic lab right well

what's infrared film for

photograph the ashes and i hope to bring

out the writing on them oh but how

look dummy infrared film is sensitive to

wavelengths of light beyond the human

eye

all right

[Applause]

fascinating who me

now the other negative

you look good too in the dark

[Music]

[Applause]

find anything wrong

not here to draw the faint

there goes the clue

but i found one name

kyling he was one of the passengers yeah

yeah we heard that before

let's make another negative for why

we've got all we need we have kyling's

name

james lee wong speaking

have you a record of kyling

i'd like his address please

19 queen street on the waterfront

[Music]

a very old dynasty who this guy

[Music]

very strange things treat that the rest

of the house should be empty while this

he must have been a person of

considerable importance yeah and he had

something important or they wouldn't

have murdered

[Music]

you know this is the right address that

they gave us

this must be kyling

bell street what do you mean leaving me

downstairs unconscious that's nothing

new

oh that's slim how the missing wentworth

sermon how do you know oh i've seen him

lots of times he killed wentworth and

then committed suicide sure stabbed

himself in the back you're still

unconscious

street

you suppose that kai ling and lem howe

are one of the same person

bill

where'd you get that stuff i phoned miss

wentworth and she sent it

you sure you didn't phoner bill street

of course i didn't you know you made me

a promise well i kept it this story

breaks out sorry street but i'm afraid

it's broken already

how could it well you see miss logan was

with me when i telephoned miss wentworth

and she said it's too bad this story

can't be published it might influence

public opinion in favor of dick and i'm

afraid miss wentworth hurt it so you

shouted huh well i didn't talk direct uh

street

it's the same handwriting them how and

kylie are one of the same person we have

something here yeah a chinese puzzle

then lim how did do it cynthia said that

he and her father had an argument a

short time ago quiet

long if this lamborghini i've got as

much right as this discussion as you

have will you be quiet well i found the

corpse didn't i all right all right

finish what you're going to say will you

well i did finish it's simple sure

you're simple he shot wentworth and then

killed himself just stabbed himself in

the back huh

well well i'm an oriental wood wouldn't

he you know commit harry harry or

whatever you call it

very hairy

hello straight speaking

what

yeah

okay

suicide huh come here one this is a pip

i had an autopsy performed they found a

bullet wound underneath the dagger they

traced the bullet through the body into

the hip and that bullet came from the

same gun that killed wentworth

yeah miss wentworth and mr martin shall

i send them in wait a minute oh that's

well that's fine now you got that

wentworth gal on my neck

i get this bobby

this is strictly between us if a word of

this gets out something's gonna happen

and i'm not fooling okay bill

i'm not gonna try and pin this on the

fleming kid it's a little far-fetched

that he commit a couple of murders the

same day

but i am going to check on his

whereabouts that morning if only to

protect him

now listen dizzy i'm going to leave you

alone with him i want you to get that

information and i'm not full you

understand

yes

casey half fleming brought up come here

bobby cynthia how are you

have you found anything a great deal

well that is good news whatever it is

don't delay anything to postpone the

hearing i've done my best but i'm

stymied by a mountain of circumstantial

evidence i can realize that

i'm afraid your serpent lem howe is dead

miss wentworth lamb

dead it may have a bearing on the case

he was found in an old house in the

chinese quarter he'd been murdered

murdered

it must be someone who's determined to

destroy the entire household

in heaven's name captain don't let this

girl go around without a bodyguard

you're right i'll arrange for one but no

one can find that chauffeur he gives me

the chill i haven't seen him for 24

hours i guess he's fired himself why'd

you take him back he promised to stay

sober and to help dick and two he said i

could use a bodyguard great guns i'd

rather have a rattlesnake following me

oh dick cynthia

i'm gonna leave you alone for a quarter

of an hour no one will bother you

come on

are you all right of course i am my

darling

dick

you can come clean on something now i've

got to know it may be a chance of

proving your innocence

if you were in that office when the shot

was fired you've got to say so

if i was i would have seen the killer

no you might only have heard the shot

well i certainly would have known where

it came from not necessarily as wong can

demonstrate i know i've seen him do it

you were there weren't you

yes

i was stunned

the outer hall door had been opened by

mr wentworth when he asked me to leave

when he fell at my feet

i turned into the hall and ran to

intercept whoever had done it and i

returned unsuccessful

i saw people running into the outer

office and i knew it once i'd be accused

so i beat it for home

if i tell that to the court the walls

and all would fall down on top of me

if you'd only told me this before we

might have had something to go on the

open door

fingerprints concentrate can't you

remember having seen someone but i

didn't see anybody dick where were you

before you went to the wentworth office

that morning i took cynthia to get a

good view of the burnt ship lem was

there he lost a cousin of somebody and i

drove cynthia to the truck and i took

lamb into chinatown chinatown oh dick so

i'd like to speak to captain street

hello

captain street

this is fleming yes mr fleming captain

my son did not kill cyrus wentworth

if you'll come to my house

i'll tell you who did it

hello

hello i heard a shot where's the car in

the alley

[Music]

what is it somebody shot fleming

anybody leave no they're all in there

how is he bad wound but it's not fatal

fleming there's captain street what were

you trying to tell me on the phone

i killed sarah wentworth hey you don't

know what you're saying

all right i'm listening

matthew saw me do it

i've had to pay him for his silence oh

so he shot you

just relax the doc will be here in a

minute says you're not telling the truth

he's only trying to protect me take it

easy kid just hold everything i'll get

to the bottom of this

you heard what he said yeah did you see

him kill wentworth no what do you mean

now well he might have i don't know but

i did see him hide the gun so you use

that to blackmail him huh that's all i

want to know

well that eliminates the fleming kid and

pins it on the father

i overheard your very fine gesture mr

flemming quite unnecessary

mr ludler oh the pleasure is still mine

you got past me in the garden didn't you

but fortunately for mr fleming your aim

was not as good as when you killed

kyling and mr wentworth

i killed wentworth of course you did

from across the hall through the open

door then you threw the gun into the

room

and you hoped to implicate young fleming

now you're making that up out of your

head

am i and i suppose i'm imagining that

you had to destroy the agreement between

kyling and wentworth what agreement that

piece of paper that you were burning in

the office that night

your name was on it my name was your

name was of it as a witness it was not

that's right

when first showed me the paper it was

his signature

why you double crossing that's your man

street

take a mic

so you were partners

well i really am surprised that a

professional like you would team up with

an amateur like this yes the garden

street i traced it to him

and here's the reproduction of the

burned agreement with martin's signature

on it

i'm sorry i had to hold that out on you

but

there's only one thing i regret i know

that you didn't kill me that night in

chinatown when you shot at me

take them out boys

well street

we've done it again yeah sure why the

first day in the office i had this whole

thing doped out

what am i doing

[Applause]

you
