>> We have been sent here to put an end to

Wong's plotting.

So far, we have failed. This mad

manurion

must be found. And the coins of

Confucious restored to Killet.

In the hands of Wong, they mean its

destruction.

One more.

The province of Kirat

shall know its rightful ruler.

>> Moonflower.

>> [clears throat]

>> that awful gong. Every time it sounds, W

gives some dreadful order and terrible

things begin to happen.

Did the ancient and honorable name of

Wong fall from the lips of his gracious

and loyal knees?

>> If doors must have keyholes, there will

always be those to listen at them.

>> It would be unfortunate to have to shut

so beautiful a personage in the dungeon

of the faithless. [snorts]

>> You wouldn't dare.

>> Wonk has dared many things. He will

continue to dare

and one day when is a claimed by all

Kot.

>> You are wrong. YOU WERE NEVER INTENDED

BY FAITH to rule. Keat

>> time will teach you to guard indifferent

speech.

Frightens me. This madness of his is

driving all reason from his mind.

It would seem that you little affairs of

the dawn have interested this Mr. Jason

H. Barton.

No, he cannot be dealt with as one of

our own race. This

is the Jason H. Barter.

I trust for his own good that his

interests will not bring him too close

to the house of war.

>> Come on, cut off the plane, will you?

Come here. I want to talk to you.

>> What is it now, Chief? Why don't you

pull off that Chinatown stuff you

started yesterday?

>> A Nick's on that now, chief. I ran out

of gas and slipped down a little banana

oil. There's nothing in it. You guessed

it, chief.

>> Yes, and I've outged you, too, Barton.

There's another killing in Chinatown. A

laundryman on Huron Street. Ah, what do

I care about another laundrom? The world

is full of them. Besides, I send my

stuff out to a steam laundry anyways.

Did you ever run into a China by the

name of Wong? The one that ain't named

Wong.

>> Oh, now never mind that stuff. Park

yourself down in Chinatown and remember

the name Wong. Boo Wong.

>> Okay, chief. Boo Wong it is. But I could

have done a small story on the evil. Get

out of here.

>> Oh, you lost your dog. Oh, just a

moment, madam. I'll connect you with the

classified advertising.

>> What does he want us to do? Get out an

extra. Oh, hello. Hey, part that thing,

will you?

Read your story this morning.

>> Did you? Did you get a kick out of it?

>> They've been kicking all day.

>> Chalk that one up for you. I didn't ask

for that. I beg for it. Oh. Um, I got

some bad news for you. I can't take you

out to lunch today.

>> That isn't bad news. Roberts of the

Gazette has been trying to get me all

morning to take me to lunch at the

Builtmore.

>> Oh, is that so? Will you listen to me?

Well, you're not going out with any

gazette lug anywhere.

>> Says you with a tone of finality.

>> Says I with a ton of finality.

>> Hello.

Oh, yes, Chief. Yes, he's here now. All

right, I'll tell him. The chief says to

remind you that the China's name is

Wong.

You tell that pace dabbing, credit

grabbing hunk of animated baloney to go

out and find himself a nice wet lake and

wrap it around his ears.

>> Oh, hello. Yes, chief. He said thank you

a thousand times.

>> Oh, yes. I'll tell him.

He says he doesn't want to burden you

with too much detail, but to remind you

that this is a daily newspaper and not a

monthly magazine.

>> Okay, kid. You let that gazelle leg

spend his money at the Builtmore for

lunch. But remember, you have a steak

and mushroom dinner date with a regular

guy.

>> Let me out.

>> Hello, attendant. You come and get him

now. He's right.

All right. And what is it you want?

>> I've been sent over from the globe to do

this murder.

>> You're too late. It's already been done.

>> Huh? I'll buy that one. The crack from a

cop is worth two from the club. Where's

the body?

Thank God.

>> Must have been writing or something.

>> Yeah, but we couldn't find nothing the

poor devil had been writing at the time.

Me and one of the dicks found him just

like that. One of the reporters and

likely the last. The newspapers don't

care nothing about these tongue

killings.

>> So you think it's a tongue killing, do

you?

>> What else could it be? Even the dick

could see it wasn't old age.

>> Yeah, you're right. Tongue wars are old

stuff. But I'll tip you off to one

thing. This is no tongue job.

Ever hear of a China named Wong? They

all sound alike to me. And this [ __ ]

ain't much but coffin except old Lys the

dealer down the street. He knows

everybody and he's a regular old go

see. Huh?

Now look him up after I take a peek

around a bit.

Sam toy no have coin.

What is this you have come to fling in

my face and only one coin to be found

and calmly you report failure.

No me no steal. Why should the lips deny

what the eyes express so plainly?

>> Few hours with rats will make him speak

the truth. [clears throat]

Oh, he's mad. I tell you,

>> them China is jabbering like monkeys.

I've had to clear them away every 10

minutes.

On your way. On your way. This club

makes about 20 knots an hour and I'm

getting up steam.

There's nothing noisier than a China

when you want quiet or quieter when you

want information.

>> You know, Confucious said practically

the same thing.

>> Has he been in here too?

>> Not today.

>> Then it's all right then. Nobody

unofficial must view the body.

>> Do you believe in hunches? The Mgillic

Huddies was raised on them.

>> Then believe in the one I've got, Max.

It's hotter than the first of August.

>> Smash you there.

Find it by her luck.

Maybe you like some herbs.

>> Maybe so, but I don't think so.

>> What do you like?

>> Well,

I want to talk to you. Hey, you've been

around here a long time, haven't you?

I'll bet you could spring a story or

two. Hey, oldtimer.

>> Like to sell herbs, not their story.

>> Okay, for me. Ever play hunches?

Sometime play.

No play hunch game.

>> And what was that? The end of the first

round. And who won?

>> No. No story. No play hunch game. Shut

up. Shut [laughter] now. Some other time

talk. Maybe maybe next day sometime.

Maybe. I don't know. Maybe not.

>> No. No stories. No play hunch game.

Maybe read sometime. Uh maybe.

I'll keep this until you decided to be a

little chummy and soable.

>> Maybe ticket about long time ago poetry

maybe.

>> Yeah, plenty. Maybe I'll take this to

Chan Fu at the university and if it's

poetry, I'll autograph it for you.

But I'll see you again sometime. Uh

maybe tomorrow, maybe next day. I don't

know, maybe not. Uh so long

Your men have eyes that see

Sam Toy left a message written on the

laundry ticket. The white newspaper that

has it. He takes it to Chan Fu at the

university.

You will see that the ticket does not

arrive at Chan Cruz.

Well, ain't that something?

This white devil cannot be dealt with as

one of our own race

may cause the police to be curious about

even such a humble personage as old ly

the herb dealer.

It should not be difficult to make it

appear an accident.

A very evil looking spider was about to

visit your pocket.

>> Yeah, it's a pet of mine. I keep it to

bite strangers.

Hey, my floor.

Come in.

>> How you doing,

>> Professor Poo?

>> Yes, sir. You're the chap that knows all

about the Chinese language, aren't you?

I understand many dialects of my mother

tongue.

You have a seat, sir.

Oh, thanks. Pardon me, please.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

You have a ticket you wish me to

translate.

Now, how did you find that out?

>> Someone just told me.

>> Uh-oh. Somebody's been reading my mail.

Uh, who was that?

>> I don't know. Say, you don't happen to

be a spider snatcher, do you?

>> Spider snatcher.

>> Let it ride. Let it ride. Let's start

all over again.

>> Cast your spectacles on that.

>> It would interest me much to have the

other half of the ticket. I'm beginning

to develop quite an interest in that

ticket myself, professor.

>> It merely mentions the coin of

Confucious.

>> What has the coins of Confucious got to

do with a laundry ticket?

>> That I cannot say.

>> Well, never mind the ticket. What about

the coins?

>> It goes back into the history of my

country. But that wouldn't interest you.

>> You think it wouldn't?

>> Well, I'll be seeing you. Goodbye, sir.

>> Bye, professor.

And you have no idea who telephoned you?

>> Its voice was unknown to me.

And the young man desired you to make a

translation of the ticket as you had

been warned.

>> Precisely, but unfortunately a portion

of the ticket was missing. He promised

to bring it another time.

To know the full message of the ticket

would be of great value. Bring this

information to me and the province of

Chile will not disregard the favor.

>> Hey, what kind of pie is this?

>> Well, it's the same shape as a lemon

pie, but what that stuff is on the top,

I don't know.

>> I know. Alcoa powder. You think I'm a

card?

>> [laughter]

>> Hello,

>> built more. Huh?

>> Um,

Chuck Roberts of the Gazette.

>> How do you do, Mr. Roberts? I'm pleased.

Oh,

>> you've nearly forgot your hat, Mr.

Roberts.

>> Well, I'm not going yet.

>> Oh, yes, he is.

>> Oh, darling. The menu, please. Thank

you, darling.

>> What were you saying?

>> Would you like to go to the six day bike

race with me on Tuesday night?

>> Oh, I love it. I think it'd be swell.

>> Lovely. get in a jam and have an awful

spill.

>> That rhymes with pill.

>> And after the uh race, we can go

someplace and dance and say the

builtmore.

>> Oh, good. Then I'll dress.

>> I hope so.

>> Well, you'll have to excuse me for a

little while. I've got to get back to my

business. [laughter]

Goodbye.

Liberty 0436. [music]

>> Liberty 0436.

Hello.

>> Hello. Is Chuck Roberts there?

>> Robert, just a minute, please. Mr.

Roberts, you want on the phone?

>> All right. Thank you. Excuse me.

[music]

>> Hello.

>> Hello, Chuck. How would you like to have

a ticket for the football game this

afternoon?

>> Would I like it?

>> Okay. He'd be at the bowl in 30 minutes

and there'll be one waiting for you at

the east gate.

>> Okay. Who is it?

>> Pedis Father's Gas.

>> Who?

>> Pisg

[music]

Peg. That was the boss. I've got to go

right back to the office. He's got a

special assignment for me. I'm awfully

sorry. I'll see you soon, won't I?

Bye.

Hello. Back again. [music]

>> For a dumb egg, you're almost smart, but

not as smart as you think, Mr. Wise Guy.

>> Well, I say listen. You mean to tell me

you really like that mug?

>> I don't mean to tell you anything except

to mind your own business.

>> What do you have, Mr. Barton?

>> A glass of water and nothing to eat.

Some people want to starve themselves.

It's perfectly all right with me.

>> Aren't you ever happy unless you make a

fellow feel miserable?

>> I wouldn't say that.

>> Say, "Waitress, bring him a piece of

pie. He doesn't know what he wants."

[music]

>> Oh, come on. Let's forget it. How about

dinner? [music]

>> You know, there's something about you

the fella has to like.

>> No, you're not so bad either, come to

think of it.

>> Hey, listen. What do you Come on.

Something What do you have to do to get

service around here? Well, what's your

order?

>> What's that?

>> Corn beef and cabbage.

>> Oh, that'll do.

>> Well, I'M SORRY. THAT BELONGS TO SOMEONE

ELSE.

>> Give them my apologies.

>> Ooh, corn beef and cabbage. Gee, that

reminds me of McGillicuy. I got to get

back in the job. They'll have to pull

another murder on me. These Chinese work

fast. I just have time for a bite. Hey,

waitress, give me another order of this

stuff.

>> Hey, that's why any chance isn't your

idea of steak and mushrooms, is it?

>> Not on your life. When I say steak and

mushroom, I mean steak and mushroom.

that up boy

mushrooms.

So you don't know nothing about it, eh?

Well, well, well. I suppose you were all

out of town when this happened.

>> Oh, mate. What? Another one?

Seems like they just can't keep cape

from killing each other off.

>> Hey, this is getting monotonous. I'm

supposed to bring in real live news and

the best I can do is run down dead

China. Better dead ones than live ones

if you care what's happening to you.

Especially where killing's a pastime.

What about

I can't hear shall think.

>> Well, if it isn't poor old goggles.

>> Oh, you know him, eh?

>> Sure. He's a professor of languages.

>> Well, he's sure speaking a dead language

now. How many does that make? Five or

six?

>> I don't know. I've lost count.

>> It'll be getting you next. Why don't you

go on home?

>> I'm getting more reasons every minute

for staying

>> now. Go on. On your way. We'll take care

of this.

Well, joyful little place this is, isn't

it?

>> Would you mind telling me what your

interest is here?

>> Ah, now you tell me about you.

>> Sam Toy was a connection of mine.

>> I get it. And somebody cut off the

connection.

>> It might be called that.

Well, uh, if Sam Toy was a relative,

this might mean something to you.

>> Are you aware of what is written here?

>> Sorry, not a China's chance.

>> Oh. Oh, you mean that?

Ah, you're wasting your time. If you're

looking for a coin, someone beat you to

it. You and another Chinese gentleman

wearing a dragon ring seem to have the

same idea about that coin. Only he works

faster.

>> A dragon ring?

>> Sure. One of those longtailed animals

with

>> You are sure about this ring?

>> You bet I am. But the gentleman that's

wearing the ring packs a mean wallet. A

goodly thing to know.

>> Thank you.

>> Hey,

listen, pal. What's this all about? It

would give me great pleasure to

enlighten you with our reasons why it is

impossible. However, you may have done

my country a great service. I'll trade

the medals for a little lowdown. Say

about who killed Sam Toy, what relation

he is of yours, some information about a

China named Wong. You don't happen to be

Mr. Wong, do you?

>> To think I am Wong would be a grave

mistake.

>> I'm beginning to suspect I made a couple

of them already.

>> I too would like to know something of

this man Wong.

>> Well, listen, pal. What do you say you

and me get together?

Listen, uh, Mr. U, I didn't quite get

the name. I don't let China.

>> Jason H. Button. Low sang.

Goodbye, Mr. Jason H. Button. Low

Sanglaze.

>> You newspaper lads move right in, don't

you? Who's your buddy? says his name is

High Strung or something.

>> He's a no one on me.

>> Yeah, the wrong no one's on me.

>> What I can't understand is why a nice

home loving boy like you likes to play

around with cutthroats and murderers.

>> The same you, Mr. McGilly Cuddy, and

many of them.

Well,

what can I do for you? Uh, you like a

nicy antique candy?

Tastes like motorman's glove. [laughter]

How about a nice mess of herbs if you're

in the market?

Yes, we've been here for 50 years. Sold

the herbs.

Uh, perhaps you'd like a filigree

herring. Absolutely. A herring to end

all herring. Huh?

>> Hello, Tutts. Where did you come from?

>> I see. Very old man. Old feet make

little noise.

>> Meet the sails the resistance.

>> Losy my bones.

>> Oh, that's what you wanted. Why didn't

you say so before, little girl?

>> You didn't give me an opportunity.

>> [laughter]

>> Maybe you bring ticket. Maybe I dare

not. Maybe big university man tell you

what it say. Maybe

>> they're getting hot.

Play another hunch game. Maybe.

>> You've got the idea, oldtimer. My hunch

is if anyone knows what's going on

around here, you do.

>> Hunch game. No good. Lie, hear nothing,

see nothing,

>> lie, speak nothing. Never mind the

monkey business.

>> You go now. Come back tomorrow. Maybe.

Maybe ticket bring you luck. Maybe.

>> Sorry, I'm sticking around for a while.

>> Maybe you buy some herb. Maybe

>> tomorrow. Buy herb. Maybe today. Maybe

you talk. Maybe. Well, I see no talk.

Too much talk, too much trouble.

>> There's Sam toy laundry ticket. How come

you got such a boot out of that?

>> Lassie no get boot. Lassie got the

slipper.

>> Hurt it. Why were you hot footing it out

of the laundry a few minutes ago?

>> Ain't no hot feet.

Listen, my paper wants to low down on

this Sam toy killing and I've got a

hunch you've got it.

>> Hey, L. Have you got any more of those

Chinese gumdrops?

>> Oh, so here you are. This loaf's got me

down. There ain't been a murder around

here in 30 minutes.

>> Your son?

>> Uh-oh. So you caught up with this one

again.

>> Is this another one of your connections?

>> No connection. Maybe long time ago

friend maybe. I don't know.

>> I guess so.

>> Man sometimes enters his neighbor's door

as friend, other times as enemy.

>> Well, I see his door very friendly.

>> My eyes see something in you that is

familiar, but my mind does not recall

it.

Were you ever in Killet?

>> Gillette?

Long far away? Maybe. I don't know. Oh,

I guess so. Ricey one time and call and

B.

>> What can you tell us of your departed

neighbor Samtoy?

>> No. No. Samtoy

man.

>> Do you know anything about a man

named Wong?

>> Hey. Hey. Hey, if you're going to throw

them away, I know a fellow that can use

some of them.

Uh,

Wong. Uh, no. Come shop.

I see. Very old man. No. Go out. No. No.

Wong.

Maybe. Don't leave China down. Maybe so.

I don't know. I guess not.

>> Maybe you won.

>> Uh, maybe. So, I don't know. I give up.

>> Me? Lysi the herb dealer. Everybody know

Lysi.

>> Okay, I was just kidding.

>> Come on, lad. There's no news here. Say,

if it's true that no news nos is good

news, that guy could make an editor

awfully happy. Well, we'll run dime that

guy wrong yet. As they say in your

country, I'm for it.

>> Okay, boys. You'll have to get along

without me now for a little while

because I have a heavy date with a

hungry female. And as they also say in

my country, upke in the object and he's

in the egg bay.

Strange idioms these Americans have

very friendly door. I see.

The secret service of Kat has grown

negligent but illustrious a member to

fall into the hand of one so humble as

old ly the herb dealer.

>> The mysterious Mr. Wong is like chi the

traitor.

>> [music]

>> Well, if this is steak and mushrooms, I

should order chopped sooie. Well, it is

steak and mushrooms, dear. Tossed around

a little bit. Well,

>> if you don't mind, I'd like to do my own

tossing around.

>> Well, that's just like a woman always

squawking. Now you're beefing about the

food. This cost a pretty penny.

>> Well, don't you think I'm due for a beef

or two? You know, this isn't a

Builtmore.

>> You get everything here you can get at

the Builtmore. Lights, food, music,

atmosphere, indigestion.

>> Yeah, but I got you and not Chuck

Roberts.

>> Oh, yeah. You got Chuck Roberts right in

there. Everything's in there.

>> [music]

>> Now that I finished my dinner, would you

mind telling me why we're down here in

Chinatown

>> right now? I'm looking for this fellow

Wong.

>> Say, would you mind putting these things

down and eating with your knife and

let's get out of here?

>> Oh, lay off, will you?

>> Who's Wong?

>> Say he's no pushover. He's a slick lug,

and he works with a knife, and he's

never out of work. and mixed up in it

somewhere.

The 12 coins of Confucious.

>> Oh, a money argument, huh?

>> They've been holding his following for a

couple of centuries.

>> Oh, w

>> No, Confucious.

>> Say, how old is this guy?

>> Couple of thousand years.

>> He ought to call in an undertaker.

[music]

>> Hey, listen. You're not kidding me,

sister. This thing is serious.

[music]

>> [music]

>> You will shortly experience a great

danger. Something tells me I'm not going

to be very happy here.

[gasps]

>> What's the matter? Is the chopsie

getting you down already? Come on, drink

your tea. It'll get cold.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Come on, let's get out of here.

[music]

Never thought I'd see one of those gold

coin babies that close. What do you

think of it?

>> Oh, take it back where you got it and

let's get out of here.

>> Oh, don't get nervous about a little

killing after you've been around a

while. Won't mean a thing to you.

>> Oh, no. Something tells me old Lys maybe

knows plenty about that gold coin game.

>> Maybe.

>> Oh yeah, but let's get out of here.

>> Hey, where are we going? I don't like

the looks of this street.

>> This is Lover's Lane. We're on the way

to Lys.

>> How do you spell it?

>> Hey, who was that meant for?

>> I don't know, but I've got a hunch we

ought to keep walking.

>> Walking? What do you mean? Let's run.

>> What's the matter with you? You don't

want people to think we're scared, do

you? Of course. I don't mind if we walk

a little faster. Hey, man.

What the Why don't you two kids go home?

>> You better run down to the Chinese

restaurant and just knife another China.

>> What? Come on. You You're going home.

>> You're not kidding. But I'm not going to

walk. Call me a taxi.

>> In the middle of the ocean, you asked

for a taxi.

>> All right.

>> Let's not go that way, though. It's too

dark.

>> All right, PICK YOUR

>> J. NOW, this ceases to be a joke.

>> You're telling me what a dent that would

have made in some China's head.

>> But what about ours? What do you think

they made out of cast iron?

>> Oh, don't be afraid. [screaming]

>> Well, I guess this is just as good a

time as any.

Hey, anything you have?

Gee, honey, I hate to go without seeing

Lysy. It's a new angle I got in this

story.

>> All right, you write it and I'll read it

at home in the morning.

>> Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of now.

Come on, be a good sport, will you?

>> You call a cab or do I call Chuck

Roberts?

>> Taxi cab.

That's my bonus street. Where America?

>> Thank goodness we're out of that mess.

>> What are you squawking about? You didn't

get hurt, did you?

>> Well, it's not your fault. I can always

replace the hat, you know, but this is

the only head I got.

>> Oh, and what a head.

What are you thinking about?

>> Chuck Roberts.

[clears throat]

>> Why don't you?

>> What?

>> Chuck Roberts.

>> You can go now.

>> Oh, all right. That's the way you feel

about it. I'm going back to see old lie.

I'm going to ask him a few questions.

>> How can you talk if your throat's cut?

>> Oh, driver. I like that. Will you do it

again?

Hey, WHAT WAS THAT?

CHLOROFORM. Hey darling. Hey. Pull over

there will you driver.

>> You all right? Darling say I didn't know

that fell was on a running board.

>> Yeah. Take this and keep the chain. Take

your little wagon. We'll walk.

>> Come on. Snap out of it. Darling.

>> I want to go home.

>> Come on. I'm going to take you home

right now, darling.

>> Thanks for the buggy ride.

>> Holding coin and men's cold w you find

Oh, lon

what he said. Peg, I've got to go to

lys. You've got to go home alone.

>> I should say not.

>> I can't take you home now. This thing is

red hot.

>> Who said I want? I'm going to stay with

you. I got a couple of things to tell

that China myself.

>> That a girl.

>> Gosh, it's dark in there. Maybe we ought

to.

>> Don't maybe me.

>> Come on, let's get out of here. We can

come back tomorrow.

>> I thought you had something really

important to tell this guy.

>> I'll phone him.

>> Ah, forget it. This is big. Hey, we'll

probably be written up ourselves on this

story.

>> Yeah, but in what column?

>> Ah, don't be silly.

Nobody home.

>> I guess I have to give it up as a bad

job. Whole life's probably going to bed.

>> You get me all the way down here and

then you're going to walk out on me.

>> I never walked out in a dame OF MY LIFE.

>> [screaming]

>> OH JEEZ.

>> How am I doing, Toots?

>> Hey, that's something.

Now, will you go home?

Look.

Come on, let's go. Oh, no. Bring the

totem pole.

>> Clever people, these Chinese.

>> Ain't it the truth?

>> No. What do you think?

>> I have to think. I'm finished.

>> It's a long wall that has no turning.

Come on, let's keep going.

What's that? The

>> sound of the gong will be exactly 10:41

Eastern Standard Sitting Time. Now,

little children, fair to hear the story

about the little body in the

>> Don't be funny. Maybe that's a tong

gong.

A

>> what?

>> A tong gong?

>> Are you talking Chinese, too?

>> Oh, come on. This is no place to park.

So long touch.

You're crazy, Jay.

Come on. I've seen enough.

>> You haven't seen anything yet? We're

going places.

>> Hey, we've been here before.

>> We have not.

>> We have, too. Oh,

>> you're crazy.

>> I'll bet you.

Come on. Come on. Let's go.

J. [screaming] J.

Pig,

where are you? Pig.

>> OH, JEE. I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ALMOST

WALKED around and thought it was so

Hey, wait a minute. What are you trying

to do? get romantic in a joint like

this.

>> Hello. Here we are back again. Hi

oldtimer. I see you picked yourself up

for life.

>> That isn't the same one.

>> Sure it is. I'll prove it to you.

>> Don't touch it.

>> That's funny.

>> Don't go in there.

>> Why not?

>> Try and keep me out. Jay,

>> pardon me. I uh hope we're not

intruding, but would you mind telling me

how we got here? Where are we?

>> You are in the house.

>> You'll talk to white devil.

>> Hey, do you hear what she called us?

>> Ah, what's the difference? As long as we

get the story we're after.

>> You are in the house of Wong.

>> What did I tell you? The house of Wong.

>> Wong, great man. Someday Wong, great

emperor.

>> Did I have a hunch or did I have a

hunch? Okay, we better call the police

>> and get those poor policemen in trouble.

>> You would like to see Wong.

>> Don't tell secret.

>> I will.

Then he killed you. He torture.

>> Don't go. Don't go.

>> I'm not afraid.

I [clears throat] got a hunch we're

heading for trouble.

>> Heading for it? We're in it. You ought

to go upstairs and stay with that

servant woman.

>> Have you tell me I can't take it? Don't

be silly.

J. [screaming]

>> Strength spent never regain.

I will attend to her later.

>> She was right. You are a devil.

>> Sometimes politeness is a virtue.

Again, it is but a better part of

judgment.

>> You're a fine one to talk about

politeness.

>> Oh, so they got you too, huh?

>> Oh, you will forgive my lack of

courtesy.

Allow me, Mr. Newspaper man.

>> May I present the great Fung,

head of the secret service of Kat.

>> Hey, where have I seen you before?

>> Hear nothing, see nothing,

>> speak nothing. Ah, I get you now. I tort

smart young man.

You wanted a story for your paper and

now you have it. But I cannot promise

that you will ever print it.

>> Get easy.

Will you

I would not seclude you from so

honorable an ally.

You will remember that he too desired to

discover one.

>> Well, we caught up with him, didn't we?

>> Your success may turn to bitterness.

And you may wish you had not meddled

with the affairs of one.

>> Jay, why don't you do something?

>> Yes. Perhaps uh you have a hunch.

>> Well, there's things I can think of that

I'd like to do.

>> And perhaps you are of the opinion that

you alone are gifted with ideas.

>> Hey, listen. Would you mind tell me what

kind of a show is this you're putting

on?

>> You Americans are always in such a

hurry.

Time came before man.

There is plenty of it. Do not hurry it.

Haste is such a feutal gesture.

Little man, what now?

I've got a hunch.

You think we're in a tight spot?

>> Clever people, these reporters.

>> Ow. What are you doing?

>> What I think is at the end of that

court, I'm going to do plenty in the

next few minutes.

>> What cord?

It's a phone.

>> Hello. Hello.

Get him.

Hello. Connect me to the brand OF CITY

UNDER THE GLOBE. HURRY, PLEASE.

White men got coin.

>> How are you, honey?

[sighs]

>> HELLO, CHIEF. THIS IS BOTTON. SAY, I'M

SOMEWHERE BACK OLD LYSY'S HERB SHOP.

THERE'S A SECRET PANEL BACK AT the

counter. IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH.

SAY, CHIEF, YOU BETTER COME WELL HEALED.

THESE BABIES DON'T PLAY WITH MARBLES.

HEY, IT'S always good.

>> Give me that number back quick. I was

cut off.

>> You're still connected.

It

>> brings joy to witness my return.

>> Delighted. Come in and cut yourself a

piece of throat.

Where have you hidden the sacred coin of

Confucious? Try [snorts] and find out.

>> You're such a smart guy.

>> Uh-oh. What's this?

Take it easy now.

>> Hey, what are you doing?

>> That's a pretty thing.

I always suspected there was something

wrong in there.

What do you know about that?

Hey, come back. Come back. Hey, get

back. Where's that man? Long back. Hurry

up. This way.

>> [screaming]

>> out the way. LET US DRAW the matter.

>> It's all right, darling. Wait a minute.

Easy. It's all right. We're all over

now.

Chief, I've got to be fair with you.

This is the first time I've ever been

glad to see you.

>> Well, who's your companion here in

misery?

>> Oh. Uh, yeah, chief. I want you to meet

Hi Tong, the secret agent of the

province of Gillette. My

good futures will never fall into the

hands of Wong. Wong has gone to join his

ancestors.

I knew I'd get this thing straightened

out.

Don, I got a hunch.

>> What? Scratch my back, will you?

Hey, listen.

Can I call you by my last name?

>> I'll have to think it over. Well, what's

the matter?

Don't you love me?

Guess I could learn to

>> Oh, how long it take you to get started?

It's 11:30 now.

[music]

Hey.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[bell and music]

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

>> I like my arms with

>> nice guys. Huh? Hey, Danny. Go hit him

with glimpy. Go ahead.

>> HEY, YOU'RE

BIGGER CATS. I'M TELLING YOU

GUYS TOO SERIOUS.

>> I got your boys for you. Thanks officer.

They might be underprivileged, but they

sure ain't underdeveloped.

>> I guess they got us, folks. Take a

couple of squad cars and these Dick

Tracy braces and

your Well, I write the boys on foresight

street.

>> Hey, where we going, man? We going to

camp.

>> Cam? What? Have we been drafted?

>> I'm disappointed. I thought we was going

to reform school. I would have been a

sophomore this year.

>> Oh, kid.

>> Yeah.

>> What do you want us to do with them?

Deposit them in the bus.

>> I'll fix them cubs. I'LL GO TO THE

COUNTRY AND GET SICK AND DIE AND COME

BACK AND HAUNT THEM. I SWEAR.

I DON'T CARE.

>> We're only going to stop here for a few

minutes. Just long enough to pick up

mail supplies. I hope you don't mind.

>> Okay. I got to check one of those back

tires anyway. Take me about 10 minutes.

>> Good. Say fellas, don't any of you

wander away. Look around if you want to,

but don't get far away from the bus,

right?

>> Come on, honey.

>> Just sit down here.

>> You know you're going to be alive.

>> Don't touch that.

Wait a minute. You're broken. We're like

FLYERS HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU'RE BROKEN.

>> GET OUT OF THAT.

>> HEY, IT'S SCREWING UP. GET OUT.

>> WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW, JOE? JUST

>> get excited about that. Don't blow your

[laughter]

huh.

What was the bright idea of that?

>> Oh, that just a little scientific

curiosity, that's all. Or gravitation,

all that kind of stuff.

>> Mhm. I uh can see we're all going to

have lots of fun together in the next

two weeks.

>> Yeah, so can I.

>> That'll be good.

>> I ain't got no sense of humor, that's

all.

So, you fellas hang around here. I'm

going to do a little window shopping.

>> Yeah, you heard what he said.

>> I don't like that guy's altitude. Me

neither. If anybody thinks I'm going to

stay up here and associate with him and

all these cows and chickens, they're

crazy.

>> You know, I melt a cow once. A very

intricate affair. You see, a cow has

four forces. What for? Well, the first

forcet is for buttermilk. The second for

buttermilk milk, and the third is for

evaporated milk. What's the fourth one

for? Come to think of this cow only a

tree. Oh, that cow must have been

contented.

>> Oh, very contented. Are you contented?

>> Oh, extremely so.

>> That's fine. I don't get it.

>> Hey, listen. You guys lay low. See, I

think I got an angle. As soon as it gets

dark, make a break.

>> That's right.

Good.

>> Hey, I'm thirsty.

>> What do you have?

>> I don't know. You got a menu?

>> Oh, certainly.

>> I'll have some of that. That's the name

of the town, silly.

>> Oh, that's what I thought. Give me a

rude beer.

>> All righty. And uh what do you have?

>> Uh I'll have a a demas and a large cup

of black coffee.

>> A what?

>> I'll have root beer, too.

>> And uh what'll you have?

>> You.

>> You're very fresh.

>> I hope your bread is just as fresh. Hey,

what are you doing tonight?

>> Got a date.

>> How about tomorrow night?

>> I've got a date. How about Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night?

>> I got a day. Well, that kills that week.

>> Hey, what's your name?

>> Margie.

>> Marie? What a Monica.

>> Marjorie and Mugsy. Hey, that's got a

lot of animal up here.

>> We're going to camp, you know.

>> Yeah, we're underprivileged.

>> We interrupt this program for an

important announcement to listeners near

Hillside and Colton. All citizens are

warned to be on the lookout for the

monster killer who is believed to be in

this vicinity. This maniac has left the

trail of three inhuman murders and is

believed heading up state. We return you

now to your program.

>> Monsters? They don't mean nothing to us.

We eat them every morning for breakfast.

>> Bring those monsters on. I ain't scared

of them. I'm anemic. I was taking for a

ride once.

>> You were?

>> Yeah. There [clears throat] I was miles

from Time Square somewhere in Central

Park, I think. And them gangsters, they

had me backed against a tree and I got a

machine gun. See? Went.

>> Yeah. What do you think happened? I

don't know what happened.

>> He got killed.

>> Fantastic, wasn't it?

>> Hey, there goes our bus.

West, didn't he?

>> Yeah. I've been looking for you, Jim.

>> Oh, hello there, mayor. What's on your

mind?

>> Did you hear that stuff on the radio

about that monster coming this way?

>> Yep. And that ain't all. I just got a

telegram from the state police.

>> You did, huh? You better come inside and

talk it over.

>> Jeff Dixon, if you don't stop pouting,

I'll scream.

>> I'm not pouting.

>> You are, too. For no reason at all.

That's no way to enjoy a vacation.

>> Vacation? Are you kidding? With that

bunch of gorillas, it'll be a nightmare.

>> They're not gorillas. They're young and

a little wild, maybe.

>> Besides, you know perfectly well the

camp was founded for boys who are denied

the things you've had.

>> Well, all right. So, they need the

outdoor life. But I was hoping for a

nice quiet summer at camp so I could

study my thesis and be with you. Instead

of that, it's going to be as quiet

around here at the fun house at Coney

Island.

>> Well, some excitement will do us good.

It's been a dull summer till now.

>> Well, I like that. So, now I'm dull. No,

but lawyers aren't usually exciting.

They're steady and well, solid like the

rock of Jibralder

>> and just about as good company, I

suppose. Well, you listen to me, Linda

Mason. I may be studying to be a lawyer.

>> And a good one, too.

>> Yes, and a good one, too.

>> Okay, you win. You're a good nurse, too.

>> Hey, you know that guy that runs this

place? He wouldn't be bad if it wasn't

for his disposition.

>> Yeah, he ain't no good. But that girl

that hangs around with him, she ain't

bad. Hey, what's she supposed to be?

>> According to a uniform, I guess she's a

nice.

>> A nice? Pardon me, but I run a

temperature.

>> Well, anyhow, the chow was okay.

>> I didn't eat it.

>> What? It was full of bugs.

>> How do you mean bugs?

>> I heard that noise with a roll mounted

thing had vitamins in it, [music]

>> man. IT SURE IS DARK in here.

>> I'll say I can't even see you.

>> I can't even see myself.

Hey, what's that?

>> It's an owl.

>> I know it's an owl, but who's howling?

>> That's an owl. It's got four legs and

fleas.

How can you read in the dark? Huh? How

can you read in the dark? I went to

night school. Hey,

>> shut up. Will you let a guy go to sleep?

Hey, monks. What?

>> I'm not scared or nothing like that, but

remember what we heard about that that

guy on the radio?

>> So, well, suppose he was brawling around

here. Don't you think we ought to stand

guard or something?

>> Nah, you just go out and set a couple of

bear traps for him.

>> Happy dreams, Slappy.

>> This book is murder.

>> Thirsting for the flow of bright red

blood

at this moment.

Good evening, my friend.

>> Evening. You are a resident here.

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah.

>> Good. Then perhaps you can tell me where

the Billings estate is.

>> The Billings estate? Why? It ain't been

lived in for 10 years. Not since old man

Billings was murdered in asleep.

>> Interesting. But you were about to tell

me where it was.

>> Oh, sure. Sure. It's up there on the top

of Billings Mountain.

Oh, I see.

Is there a road to it?

>> Yes, but uh

>> thank you.

>> Good night, my friend.

It's you.

>> What do you mean?

>> I know you. I know who he is, too. He

>> the monster. He was here just a second

ago. Just now. The radio said he was

coming and he's here.

>> And you know who I am.

>> Of course. I read about you in this

book. You're Dr. Von Groch. And you've

come here to save us from him.

>> Yes, I am Dr. Von Groch.

>> I knew it. I knew it right away.

>> And the monster. Did you know him at

once also?

>> Right from the start. Couldn't miss him

with those glared eyes and red lips.

The dwarf too, like a little black

spider and the trailer full of coffins.

I was right in the middle of the book

when they come in.

>> Where have they gone?

>> Said he was going to the empty Billings

estate on top of the hill.

>> Yes. The solitude he needs. Tell me this

this knowledge you possess. You've

gained it all from that book.

>> Oh, sure. You see, I'm kind of student

of uh black magic. Well, see, I better

tell the constable you're here. You'll

need help.

>> No, wait. We must proceed slowly,

carefully. As you know, at night the

monster is strong and the police would

be helpless against him.

>> I guess that's right.

>> I know that's right.

Perhaps.

Perhaps you'd like to help me.

>> Oh, sure, Dr. Von Gro.

>> Fine. Now, first, though you may speak

of the monster's arrival, you must keep

my presence a secret. That is of the

utmost importance. You have a room

someplace where we may converse.

>> Oh, yeah. I've got a cottage. Uh, just

take a few minutes to close up the

station. There won't be any more

business anyway.

>> Fine. I'll wait here.

Where are we going?

>> Wake up. The whole camp. What's the

matter with you guys? Don't feel so

good. I'm got a little insommania.

>> Why don't you put some limit on it?

>> I know where you're going. You got a

date with our girl Maji.

>> So I got a date with Maji. So what? So,

we got a date, too, and we're going to

keep it. You guys can't leave, can't

you? Get in trouble. You got to have a

permit. You got one?

>> Why excite me?

>> Let's see it.

Must have left it in my smoking jacket.

>> Hey, quit surrounding me, Willie. I'm

gone and I'm gone alone.

>> That makes three of us gone alone.

>> Sidewalks are free. Who ever heard of

sidewalks in the woods?

Didn't I tell you to be quiet?

The city of the dead.

Do they too hear the howling of the

frightening ths

Billings?

Winter came after 18 short summers.

She was beautiful.

>> Hey, you.

What are you doing here?

[music]

OUCH. SHE MOSQUITOES ARE DRIVING ME

CRAZY.

>> Why did you put Citronella on like we

did?

>> Citronella? I thought you said Romela.

I'M GIVING THESE GUYS A PARTY.

>> HEY, I wonder if we're heading in the

right direction.

>> Ah, you got nothing to worry about, pal.

I got my compass with me.

>> Well, which way are we going?

>> So dark. I can't see the compass here.

I'll give you a little light.

That's a fine thing. Someone stole one

of the hands off.

>> Somebody stole one of the hands. You

must have been a magician. A compass

only has one hand.

>> Why don't somebody line me those things?

>> Come on, let's get out of this shell

hole.

>> I wonder if this a cow trail at the

state highway.

A nice place for a picnic. You run out

of toothpicks, you can use pine needles.

>> Why don't you look where you're going?

>> What are you looking for?

>> Remember what we heard on the radio

about that that ghoul? That guy that

sucks all the blood out of you? What

would he be doing out here? Sucking the

sap out of the trees.

>> Hey, is the guy really sucked the blood

OUT OF YOU?

>> YEAH. WELL, I GOT NOTHING to worry about

cuz the mosquitoes GOT ALL MINE.

>> OH, THAT WAS a metmid.

>> Hey, what if he really was out here?

What if you was back home?

>> Yeah, your old man would give you a hit

in the head like that.

>> I ain't got an old man. It catches an

orphan.

>> Whoa. Tripping, huh? You know, it's a 5

yard penalty for that. Come on, let's

move.

So,

>> Bob Wyatt, hold it. Hope no over here.

>> Hey, hold it for me now, will you? Come

on, Mugs.

>> Hey, I'm holding it. I'm holding it.

>> Come on, Slim.

Hey, duck.

>> [screaming]

>> What are you guys doing here? Why aren't

you back in camp?

>> Ah, why should we stay in camp when you

fellas go to town?

>> HEY, GET ME OUT OF HERE. WE HERE.

>> I can see my date with March. He's going

to be about as private as the Delansancy

Street Fish Market on Friday.

You know, I'm starting to think we're

lost.

>> Yeah, we should have been in town a long

time ago. I'd go back to camp if I

unnewed away.

>> Ah, quit drilling. You're getting me

wet. Where's you guys to follow me in

the first place?

Hey, a graveyard. We can't be far from

town. Come on, let's cut across it.

There may be a shortcut. If

>> it's all the same to you, Mugs, I'd like

to detour.

>> Oh, come on, you chump. We'll be out of

it in a minute.

>> How long is a minute? That's too long,

brother.

Stop. After you catch me, I'll stop.

>> Hey, there's the house. Where?

>> Way up down top of the hill.

>> Cozy looking place, ain't it?

>> We ain't looking for no rich cotton.

We're looking for a place to get peewi

patched up. Come on, let's go.

>> Oh, there's somebody there.

Say there. Can we come in? Our pal is

hurt. We want to get him to a doctor.

Do we have visitors?

>> You might as well sit down, huh?

>> Yeah. What kind of a place is this

anyway? I don't know, but I don't think

I'm going to like it.

>> Who is it? It's me. Listen, Schooner,

next time you come out of the dock, put

a coat of white wash on, will you? I'm

so scared. I'm turning white now.

>> I wish that guy. Hurry up. I'm getting

tired.

>> Ow.

Good evening. I must apologize for the

state of my home. It has been without

occupants for many years.

>> Well, look, a buddy here has been hurt.

We was walking through the cemetery

taking a shortcut to town and somebody

took a pot shot at him.

>> How unfortunate. He should lie down.

>> Don't you think we ought to get a

doctor?

>> Perhaps later. Come with me.

Take it easy.

Easy.

Put his feet up.

Well, uh,

how about calling a doctor?

>> There's no telephone here.

However, I have some knowledge of

medicine. I will treat you, friend. I

suggest you wait outside

or better still in my study.

Thank you.

>> Okay.

Well, fellas,

see you later.

Well,

>> we've looked everywhere. Not a sign of

them.

>> Did you look down by the lake?

>> Yes, everywhere.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Nothing.

>> Well, Jeff, we've got to find them.

They're city kids. If they're lost in

the woods,

>> I hope they are.

>> Jeff Dixon, do you know what you're

saying? I certainly do. Those kids have

been nothing but trouble from the

beginning. If they're lost, it's their

own fault.

>> So, you're going to sit there and let

them roam the woods all night.

>> Oh,

>> hey. What are you going to do?

>> If you're not man enough to go after

them, I'll do it myself.

>> But, Linda.

Hey, maybe she's serious.

She's been reading Flora's night and

gale. She'll be back when she gets

tired.

>> Hey, I don't like the looks of this

place. Neither do I. Let's get out of

here.

>> Hey. Yeah, let's get out of here. Go

ahead and leave Pete. We here. We got to

wait till he's docked it up.

>> Hey, you think that bird up there's all

right? What if he's a uh

>> What if he's what?

>> I don't know, but I sure hope he

hurryries up.

>> Me, too.

What's the matter?

>> There's a skeleton in there. He was

laughing right in my face.

>> Yeah. What's he so happy about?

>> A spell.

>> Good. Good. Go. Look. Look. Go. Look for

yourself.

>> Good. Good.

>> There ain't nothing in there.

>> Do it.

>> Don't

>> do it.

Can you picture that? I seen it with my

own eyes.

>> Do you feel all right, kid?

>> I never felt better in my life. But uh

you think we ought to get back get out

of here, huh? Without Peewee. We'll get

We'll go up and see what's Peewee now.

Huh? Come out there first.

How's Peewee?

>> Phoebe? Oh, your friend. He's resting

well.

>> Well, we want to see him.

>> Um, I suggest you should not disturb

him.

>> Uh, we ain't going to disturb him. We

just want to see him.

>> Hey. Hey, Peeweee. He's dead.

>> Not at all. He's merely asleep.

>> Yeah. What'd you do? Give him a Mickey

or something?

>> No. Your friend was in pain and I found

it necessary to give him a mild

serative. You see, I have given him the

proper treatment.

>> Well, how are we going to get out of

here with him like that?

>> Oh, leaving is out of the question. Your

friend must not be moved.

>> But we got to get back to camp.

>> Yeah, I'm hungry. Vitamins or no

vitamins?

>> Oh, he's talking about food. We can't

leave Peewee here alone. That will not

be necessary. My home is not equipped

for visitors, but Luigi prepared rooms

for you. You will be my guest for the

night. Come, I show you to your rooms.

>> That's fine, but one of us is staying

here. Hey, Screw. You keep Peeweee

company.

>> Hurry. Who? Who? Me?

>> Yeah. You will take time. I'll relieve

you later. Okay, Mr. Uh,

>> you will notice this is a very old

house. In some respect, a very strange

one.

You ain't kidding.

The maid service in this hotel is

terrible.

>> Hey, Clippy. You and Skinny take that

room.

>> Just me and Skinny.

>> What do you want? A noise.

>> Don't forget to call me every half hour.

Huh?

>> Yeah. I'll tell the operator.

A very charming room in a repulsive sort

of way.

>> Hey, this looks like one of those beds

George Washington's slept in.

>> Well, it's about time to change the

sheets. Let's get some light on this

subject, huh?

I understand this room was occupied by

the late owner of this house at the time

of his death.

I hope this knowledge will not disturb

your sleep. Louie has placed a candle

somewhere. I'm sure. Good night.

>> Say uh maybe you better lend us your

candy.

>> Yeah, come on.

>> Good night.

>> Oh, you know your way around here better

than us.

>> Good night.

Good night.

>> Night.

>> Oh, go ahead.

>> No, I'll follow you.

>> We'll both go together.

>> Okay.

Hey, uh, maybe I better get a

flashlight. Huh?

>> No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's

go together.

>> Yeah. Yeah, you said that once.

You know something? I like this room

much better than the dock. And I don't

like the duck.

Eat a load of this joint, will you? Is

this ma? No wonder the guy died.

Forgive me if I startled you. You would

perhaps like this candle.

Good night.

Good night.

Jim, this thing's gone far enough.

>> What thing?

>> You know dog on well. What thing? You

seen LM Harvey?

>> Yes.

>> Well, why haven't you gone up the hill

to rest of that fell? Mayor, you can't

go around arresting folks until you know

for sure. You got to have proof.

>> Proof? You know that monster was headed

this way. Radio said so. The state

police wired you. Lim Harvey saw him

with a trailer full of coffins. A crazy

killer running around those butchering

women and children. What kind of proof

do you want? Some little girl murdered

out in the woods. I tell you, Jim, you

got to do something.

>> I'll take it easy, Mayor. I'm doing all

I legally can. I've sworn in a lot of

deputies, and I'm going to have every

inch of road within 20 mi of this

village patrolled every hour of the day.

All right, Jim, but it's your

responsibility. You've been elected to

protect the women and children of this

community, and it's up to you to do it.

And don't forget, we've got that boys

camp on our hands, too.

>> Why don't you lay down, Mugs, and try to

get some sleep?

>> Yeah, I don't feel like sleeping. You

know, there's something funny about that

bird. Besides, I'm worried about

Pee-Wee.

>> Yeah, I know it. So am I.

>> Well, let's go see him.

Okay. Well, all reads, let's go.

>> Hello.

>> What's the matter with you?

>> We come sleep in our room and ain't

cheerful like this one. Hey, where you

going?

>> We're going to see Peeweee.

>> Hey, that's a good idea. Come on.

>> Who is that?

>> Us.

>> Who is us?

>> Us is me. What's the matter with you

screwing on?

>> Ain't nothing the matter with me is him.

>> He been like that all the time,

>> man. He ain't moved a muscle. I think

he's dead.

>> Hey, Peewee.

Hey, Peewee.

That clinches it. Now, we're going to

get tough. We're going downstairs to

have a showdown. You fellas come with

me. Sculow, you watch Pee-Wee. If

anybody comes up here, you let out a

holler.

>> Listen, monk, you got the wrong man for

this job. I I I'm better in a crowd.

>> Look, you heard him, didn't you? Let's

go.

>> Yeah. And keep your eyes open.

>> You don't think I'm going to stay in

here for one minute and close them, do

you?

Peeweee. Peeweee, you ain't dead, is

you? Say you ain't. If you can't say

nothing, just shake your head.

>> Nobody in here. Let's look somewhere

else.

>> Let's go in

Pee-Wee.

Oh, say man. I sure is glad you was

awake, man. We've been worried about

you. Yes, sir.

Feeling better now, though, ain't you?

Don't you hear me talking to you,

Peewee?

What's the matter with him? Hey,

say come on, Pee. We open the door, will

you? Come on. Come on. Stop playing,

will you? Come on. Hey. HEY. I'M GOING

TO DO I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

>> Slender sh up?

>> Not yet. When she does, tell her I've

gone to town to see the constable. We'll

probably need a searching party.

>> Okay.

>> That clinches it. That guy's a monster.

We're getting Peewee and leaving here.

>> Hey, maybe he's done something to him.

Maybe Peewee will be like he is.

>> I don't know about that, but we're

leaving before we find out.

>> Hey, do you think that guy's dead like

it says? What's the matter with what you

can't you read? It says here that in the

night he prowls about seeking new

victims and in the daytime he sleeps in

a coffin.

>> Well, let's wait till daytime. Huh?

>> We ain't waiting for nothing. We're

going right now.

>> Remind me not to come back. You're on my

vacation.

>> I'll put it in my blue book.

Luigi,

our guests must not leave the house.

>> Hey, open the door.

>> I CAN'T. THE DOOR IS LOCKED.

>> WELL, where's the key?

>> I don't know. I ain't got it.

>> All right, stand aside. We'll bust it

down.

Go ahead, Glip. Bust it down.

>> I ain't no Superman. You bust it down.

You break it down.

>> Why should I break it down? Break it

down. Oh,

>> come on, boys. Why don't you bust the

door down? I got a bump shoulder.

>> Oh, you've been reading Tony Flash

Gardens. I don't want to do that.

>> Somebody's got to open it. I'm not doing

that.

>> That's the way.

>> Well, what took you so long to open it?

>> I didn't open the door. It opened by

itself. Sit down. You'll be all right.

>> Hey, where's Peewee?

>> I don't know.

>> What do you mean I don't know? What do

you do? Just get up and walk out? That's

exactly what I don't mean nothing else

but he got up out of that bed, walked

out of this room, didn't even look at me

or say a word. That's funny. See, look

here. Y'all know one thing. I believe

Peewee done been turned into a zombie.

>> A zombie? What do you mean?

>> You should have seen that glassy stare

in his eyes and the way he didn't listen

when I was talking to him. Now you know

what I mean.

>> Zombie and no zombie. We're going to

find peewe and get him out of this

spider's paradise. See, now the first

thing we do is

>> you're a friend. That's what we want to

know. What'd you do to him?

>> I I did nothing. In his condition, he

should not be moved.

>> But we're going to find him and bring

him back to camp.

>> No, no. I insist that you stay. You see,

you're weary and you see things not as

they are, but as your imagination paints

them for you. I suggest that you all

retire and let Luigi and myself look for

your friend. He cannot have gone for

her.

>> Well, maybe you're right. Think I got

hallucinations, huh? Yeah, I guess I'd

been painting pictures, huh? Well, what

do you say, fellas? We all get a good

night's sleep and talk about it at the

breakfast, huh?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay, MR. HARMAN.

JUST wanted to COLL

get out of there.

>> Listen, Danny M's going to take top

floor. See, you going to be to take

Skinny and Scruno and search this floor

and the one below. If anything happens,

holler. If you find peewee, holler even

louder. We'll meet her down at the foot

of the stairs. Come on. Let's go.

>> Come on, fellas.

>> Go ahead, Scoo. Look in there.

>> No, no, no. I I ain't going to look in

there.

>> You're yellow. If I'm yellow, use What

are you scared about? I'll be right

behind you. Go ahead.

That's long enough. There's nothing in

there.

Stay close, will you? M.

>> I am. I am.

>> Hey, got a match, bud.

>> So, what was that?

Maybe someone's trying to break the

leaves, huh? Hey, we ought to have a

candle.

>> Yeah, I'll go get you two guys. Stay

right here. I'll be back.

>> Hey, Grumpy said to wait. I know what he

said, but something tells me to keep

moving.

>> Nothing in there. There's nothing in

there. Nothing in there.

Hey, Peeweee. Say, you reckon he going

to be in there?

>> I don't know. Maybe. Wait, wait, wait,

wait. Don't go in there. You know what

he said. Don't go in there. Just wait

for him.

>> Well, I just take a look and see.

Hey, Skinny. Skinny. Hey, come on now.

Stop kidding. Did you in there?

Ain't nobody in there. He's gone. Oh,

let me get out of here.

It's you, Griffy.

Where's Skinny?

>> I don't know. He done disappeared. What

do

>> you mean disappeared? What? He went in

that box and he's gone.

>> Box where? Sure.

>> Come on. I'll show you. Come on.

Skinny. Hey, Skinny. Skinny,

I'll go see. You stay right here. Don't

Hey, Glimpy.

Glimpy, is you in there? You is, AJ.

Come, Mugs.

Oh. Oh. I want to get out of here. Mugs.

Oh, he's coming.

Say Mugsy. Mugsy.

Skinny and Lindy went in that box and

they gone. I went in and looked, but I

don't see them in there. Oh, Mugs. I

want to get out of here. I don't like

this place. This place ain't

>> GET OUT OF HERE. HEY,

>> I wonder where this goes.

>> Attic, I guess.

>> Let's see.

>> Don't be in such a hurry.

I'm not in a hurry.

[music]

>> Constable, have you seen any of our boys

around town?

>> No, I haven't. Why? Six of them missing

and I thought they might have come in

for the bright lights. That isn't all.

Linda went out to search for them and

she hasn't shown up.

>> You say six?

>> That's right.

>> It sounds like Joe here might have taken

a shot at them tonight. Hit one, too.

Maybe.

>> What do you mean took a shot at them?

>> Well, that can't take them over the

ground. Can't have anybody problem

around dead night.

>> Yes, but why shoot at a bunch of

harmless kids?

>> The only used buckshot, Jeff. Couldn't

have hurt anyone bad.

>> Well, where'd they go? Where are they

now?

>> I'm afraid I've got some bad news for

you, Jeff. I want you to take it easy.

Like,

>> come on. Come on. What is it? Well, you

remember hearing about that monster

murderer on the radio?

>> Yeah.

>> We got reason to believe that he's

hiding out in the old Billings house

near your camp. Joe here thinks he saw

the lads heading for the house. Wait a

minute. Where are you going, Jeff?

>> I just told you my girls out there in

the woods.

>> Oh, but you're not going out there

alone. I'll call in some of the boys and

we'll go with you. That's a dangerous

maniac out there. Hey, Hank.

Look, coffins.

Hey, just like the book said.

Oh, go ahead. Open it. Oh,

>> you open it.

>> Maybe it ain't supposed to be open till

Christmas.

>> Go ahead, open it.

You take the other end.

>> Okay,

it's locked. Are we lucky?

>> Maybe we better try the other one, huh?

>> I'm sure they're locked, too.

>> What's the future in locking coffins?

Hey, maybe we better go back downstairs.

I don't think Peewee's up here.

>> I don't think so. Yeah, wouldn't come up

here.

>> Hey, EAT THAT PAINT.

>> YEAH.

>> WELL, LET'S GET HIM.

>> That's funny. He come in here. You made

a sign of him now.

>> HEY, MAR, LOOK OUT THE MONSTER. QUICK,

STOP.

>> CLIMPY, you sure scared the heck out of

us.

>> What did I do? Make you nervous?

>> Where did you come from?

>> That's what I'm trying to find out.

Where's Mugsy?

>> Oh, he's right around here.

Mugs. Mugsy. MUGS. MUGSY. HEY, MUGS.

HEY, let go see the kid. I didn't see

him go out, did you?

>> NO. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

>> HEY, AIN'T NO JOKE NO MORE. HEY. HEY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

>> WAIT A MINUTE.

>> IS THAT YOUR MOM?

>> I CAN'T BREATHE.

>> HEY, DADDY. I'LL BET YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE

HEAD FOR THIS. LET ME OUT OF HERE.

>> COME ON. OPEN IT UP.

IT'S LOCKED. JUST A MINUTE. WE'LL BREAK

IT OPEN.

>> Oh god. You want to give HIM WATER ON

THE BRAIN? Open it.

>> Oh. Oh yeah. Get the side of it

there.

Hey, Mugs. You're lucky we was just

going to leave.

>> Hey, I couldn't get out. Must have got

stuck.

Hey, was that you in that hope chest?

>> Don't excite yourself, Mugs. You've been

through an experience.

>> An experience? I go through a

catastrophe. And that's a beautiful boy.

Now, listen. We saw Pee-Wee come in here

and he must be around. So, you know, the

quicker we find him, the quicker we can

take a powder. Now, let's make a search.

>> What are you going to be doing?

>> I'm going to relax like you said. I'm

going to take it easy.

>> Oh, tick tighter.

It's dark in here. Hold on. If I can

find some matches in this place.

Some matches.

>> [sighs]

>> Well, I ain't scared now.

>> Some folks might be, but I ain't. This

sure is a nice cozy room. That's what it

is. Nice and cozy. Some mighty nice

folks must used to live here. Can tell

by this furniture. That's what my man

said. I wish I was with her right now,

too. But this sure is a nice room. Yes,

it is. Surely is.

What? A white spider. That must be the

ghost of the Black Widow. Get out of

here, SC. No. Get out. Get away. Get

away.

Look at the back of the can. Don't

bother me. I don't smoke, so don't I

ain't bothering you. That's all right.

Please, Mr. Spider, come back and web me

a ladder so I can get out of here right

now.

I'm getting out of here now.

>> Hey, you chasing HIM?

>> I AIN'T CHASING NOBODY. I WANT TO GET

OUT OF HERE. WHERE DID YOU GO?

>> I'LL TELL YOU LATER. LET'S CATCH HIM.

>> HEY, where'd he go?

>> COME ON. HEY, COME ON OUT OF THERE. HANG

ON. COME ON. [screaming] GOT IT. LET GO

OF

WHAT? What is this? GET WELL, NOW WE GOT

HIM. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH HIM?

>> I DON'T KNOW. I wish we had a mouse trap

or something. HEY, LET'S PUT HIM IN

THERE. COME ON. COME ON. COME ON.

>> COME ON. THROW HIM IN THERE.

>> HEY, listen to that.

>> Hey, Spooner. Look.

>> [screaming]

>> This place is going to give me a nervous

breakdown.

>> Yeah. Well, if it doesn't, I will.

>> Hey, LOOK AT THIS GUN. IS THIS A BEAUTY?

>> HEY, DON'T SLIDE IT. IT'LL BE LOADED. H

>> you can look. It's full of cobwebs. Even

the trigger IS RUSTY.

>> YEAH.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, [ __ ] And I

haven't got my hunting license with me.

>> So, what does that They're out of

seasons nowhere in a month.

>> Hey, M. Wake up.

>> How are you snapping your fingers like

that for you? Woke me up.

>> Didn't you hear a gun go off?

>> Gun? I told you to find Peewee, not

shoot him.

>> We didn't even get to see him.

>> It's a fine thing. See, if you want

something done around here, you got to

do it yourself.

>> Hey, pal.

I don't see it. I don't see that.

He's still coming.

Come on.

Go away, Mr. Tin Man. NOW GO AWAY. WE

AIN'T bothering you.

You were the young lady from the camp.

Well, yes.

>> There's a mad killer in the Billings

house, and your boys, the boys who are

missing from your camp, are there and in

his power?

>> No.

>> I'm going to their rescue now.

>> Then I'm going with you.

>> You will follow my orders to the letter?

>> Of course.

>> Good girl. Come.

>> Stell out in the hall. I got the idea to

put it on. My bad. Huh?

>> Am I defy frosting?

>> Yeah. Look here, Mug. But don't you do

that no more. Don't do that.

>> Why not,

>> man? You like to scare us to death.

>> I'm going up and get Danny and Glimpy.

Mhm.

>> You guys wait down here. I got something

to talk over with you. And if Peewee

comes in, you hold them.

>> All right, we got it.

Peeweee.

Man, don't m look funny in them aluminum

pajamas though.

>> Boy, this is too much.

Say, what? You back so soon?

>> See, I thought you wouldn't look for

other guys.

>> That's right.

>> What are you trying to do? MIX US UP?

WHAT IS THIS ANYWAY?

There's two of them.

Okay. Okay. I give up. I give up.

Peewee.

Hey, Peewee.

Hey Peewee

fooled you, didn't I?

>> Very funny. Very funny. You didn't fool

me for one minute. What's the idea of

playing games? What are you doing

wearing that suit?

>> OH, MY TAIL TOLD ME wear like iron. Now

>> you got to wrap this hook iron around

your neck. Come on. Let's get out of

these animated sardine cans and find

peeweee. Hey, huh? Got a can opener?

>> No, but I got a pocket knife.

>> Uh-oh.

>> Hey, wait a minute.

>> Danny and Pee, you're missing. It's up

to us to find him or we'll all be

missing.

>> I wish I was missing right now.

>> Let's go down the cemetery and talk this

thing over where nobody can hear us.

>> Look here, Mugs. Do we have to go out

there?

>> Why not? Well, I just don't do my best

figuring in their graveyards.

>> Oh, come on.

>> What was that?

>> Just your imagination.

>> Look, Olympic. If anything happens to

me, you notify my mammy, won't you?

>> Sure. Sure. If something happens to you,

who I notify first. Just notify me first

and nothing will happen.

Oh boy.

>> Hi fellas. Hey Danny. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay. Oh, where was you? I WAS

SHARING A room with a skeleton. A REAL

LIVE SKELETON?

>> Do you ever see a real live skeleton? No

sir. And if I never do, that'll be too

soon. Now, if we can find Peewee,

everything's going to be all right.

>> That's how I got in the room with him. I

was following Pee-Wee, and he went in a

secret passage.

>> A SECRET PASSAGE? WHERE? RIGHT down here

in the cellar. I tried to find a spring

to it, but I couldn't. Hey, maybe if we

all tried. COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU.

>> FELLAS, meet my roommate, MR. BONES.

>> BOY, HE'S SKINNY. COME ON. How do YOU

LIKE THAT? IT'S OPEN NOW. THEN WE MUST

HAVE COME BACK. HEY, this looks like the

place where the plot begins to thicken.

Let's take a look and make sure. Come

on.

>> All right, man. We ain't waiting any

longer.

Now listen to what I got to say.

Remember in that book what it said about

the monster? You can only scam with two

things. Silver bullets and blessed iron.

Well, we ain't got neater. So there's

only one thing we can do and that's to

get tough. Plenty tough. See what do we

do with the fellas back home when they

stepped out of line?

>> Knock them out.

>> Exactly. That's what we're going to do

with that vulture and a little termite

that hangs out with him. Get it?

>> Place be just like the subway if they

had lights down here.

>> I wish the train had come through.

This thing's green molded.

So, you couldn't stay away, could you?

The criminal always returns to the scene

of the crime. Who

Who are you?

>> You don't remember me. For 20 years ago,

in this very house, I was a living

being. [music] I had flesh on my bones.

Blood flowed through my veins, but you

you you scalped the hell out of me.

>> I was never in this house until tonight.

[music] You have made a mistake.

>> It is you who has made a mistake, my

friend. For years, you have wantedly

taken the lives of millions. So tonight,

I am going to take yours.

>> No. No.

Stay away.

[music]

[laughter]

No.

Hey, this guy out like a mackerel.

>> WELL, GET A ROPE QUICK. WE'LL PRY THEM

UP. HURRY UP.

>> HURRY UP. LET me

All right, boys. Make those knots good

and tight.

>> Hey, Musha. Let him have it.

>> What? Are you kidding? Leave him for the

cops.

>> Ah, let me punch his skin. See you up to

there, huh?

>> You heard me the first time. Hey, what

do you say we pick up peewe and get out

of this furnish morg?

>> Hey, maybe there's a reward for this

guy. Boy, if there is, my mother won't

have to take no more washing.

>> Why not?

>> I'll go and buy one of them sporty rolls

and go around and collect it for him.

Call us for me, Chanty.

>> Hi, fellas.

>> Peeweee.

>> Hey, you all right?

>> I'm all right. Say, what happened to you

guys? What happened to us? He wants to

know. You've been running around the

house like guy walking asleep and we've

been chasing after you.

>> Yeah. Last thing I remember is that guy

giving me a pill and then I went to

sleep. I sure had some funny dreams

though.

>> I'll play that across the board.

>> Well, can you get up?

>> Sure I can.

>> HEY FELLAS, DO SOMETHING TO SCARE ME,

WILL YOU? I GOT THE HEAT CUTS.

>> UH-OH.

>> What do you mean? We're still friends,

ain't we?

>> This way.

All right, you men surround the house.

When you hear a shot, break in wherever

you are.

>> In the front door.

>> Let's go, boy. Let's get him. Come on.

Happy

[music]

Where's your light?

This must be it. It's locked. We'll

force it.

[music]

>> Hey, what is this? Thought you fell as

the deer season is closed.

>> Mugsy, are you all right?

>> Excite me. I'm all right.

>> You boys can thank your lucky star as we

got here in time.

>> Yeah, why that? That man's a monster.

>> You're nearsighted, bud. You listen to

me, I'll tell you the whole story. He

was all going to town soon. We decided

to take a shortcut to a cemetery when

some drunk takes potshot at Pwing clips

him. So, we brought him up here to get

him all fixed up. Look, first we thought

this was a haunted house, but it's not.

And if it is, he ain't haunting it

because we thought he was a monster,

too. But like I said, he's not. Just a

magician and a very good one, too. just

come up here to practice some routines.

This guy here is his assistant, the best

in the country.

>> What about that head on the plate?

>> Oh, just that's the old uh the old

salami trick. You know, where the girl

carries the guy's head in the tray?

Well, that was the guy.

[screaming]

>> That's Linda.

[screaming]

>> [screaming]

>> Now shoot the lock. The lock.

Hold

your fire in there a minute. I got a

better idea.

>> What is it?

>> Listen, there's a window in there. See,

>> you fellas, let me through the skylight

and I'll be all set.

>> No, for danger.

>> That's not Give me that lie. You keep

that porch's attention out here.

>> Yeah, WRAP OUR DOOR. GET IT. GO AHEAD.

Come on,

helping. Hey, [screaming]

open that door.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Hey

monkey,

are you okay?

>> You all right?

>> I thought you'd never get here.

>> Light him. LET ME HIT HIM UP.

>> HEY, LOOK WHO THE MONSTER IS. HEY, WE

GET THE REWARD. SHERIFF,

>> I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. I sure had a

fool there for a while. Van Gross or

whatever your name is.

>> I can't believe it. I just can't believe

it.

>> You fool.

>> Hey, let's go figure out how we're going

to spend that money.

>> Now, ladies and gentlemen, for the

resistance, Nardo's famous disappearing

cabinet. Good magic deserves lovely

assistance. Will you help me, please?

>> Why don't you forget that my girlfriend?

>> All right. All right. No harm. She just

disappears.

>> Going to bring her back.

>> I think that's probably the easiest

trick I ever seen. I think I can do it.

>> You can?

>> I most certainly can. Not only will I

find a young lady, but when I do, we'll

isolate.

>> Now, why don't you try it?

>> I will. Just give me 5 seconds and I'll

have her.

>> Oh, delighted. What talent?

>> I got A PROFESSOR. OH, HAVE I GOT HER.

>> Why do these boats always have to dock

in a cold radar?

>> Yeah, there ought to be a law making

them stay out there after breakfast.

Anyway,

>> don't worry, Bonnie. After the day,

you'll be shooting that one monster of

yours for Uncle Sam. Yeah. And you'll be

seeing plenty of cold gray dawns then,

brother.

>> And you'll find out that the signal core

does a lot of other things besides core

signals.

>> After 10 years in this record, it'll be

a vacation.

>> A simple soul, isn't he, boys?

Well, what do you think of that?

Sounds fishy to me.

>> You're Dr. Randall? No.

>> Yes.

>> You're here to meet Agatha Brewster,

aren't you?

>> Well, I thought so.

You're Carter of the Globe Tribune,

aren't you?

>> Mhm.

>> Say, there's a woman on that boat with

the name of Agatha Brewster.

>> Yeah. What about her? Ghost Hunter.

She's a sister of that missing Dr.

Brewster.

Good story. A great story. It's a pimp.

>> Hey, what gives? Jeff trying to sell you

bootleg gas?

>> I don't know. Screw ball, I guess.

That's her over there with the fur

piece.

>> George, I'm awfully glad you're here.

>> Come on, Bonnie.

>> George, it's terrible. What happened,

>> Miss Brewster?

>> Yeah,

>> I'm from the Globe Privile.

>> Well,

>> Miss Bruce is too upset over her brother

to give an interview right now.

>> Yes, another time.

>> Oh, well, uh, may we have a picture? Go

ahead, Bonnie. A pretty smile now.

smile.

>> Oh, excuse me.

>> Thanks. About that interview. When may I

see you?

>> Oh, some other day. The next week.

>> Where? Miss Brewster will phone you.

>> Don't let her give you the brush off.

It's a great story.

>> Hey, what is this anyway?

>> Tuesday.

>> That's right.

>> If you'd only have listened to me, all

this wouldn't have happened.

>> But what about the police? Haven't they

been able to trace it?

>> Fortunately, no.

>> Fortunately.

>> Yes. Very fortunate. Agatha Jim isn't

lost except this world. He's hidden away

at Springdale in the old mansion.

He'd be better off in the family

cemetery plot.

>> Sure.

>> I'm sorry, but it's true.

>> 6 months ago, we made an astounding

discovery. It was so far in advance of

anything that's been done to date, but

Jim decided to be the guinea pig for

this experiment himself. I tried to talk

him out of it, but you know how stubborn

he is when he gets an idea in his head.

We made the experiment, and

unfortunately, it was a great success.

So great, in fact, that we've been

unable to counteract the results. And

Jim, he's

>> He's still alive, isn't he?

>> Yes.

>> And the story of his disappearance was a

fake.

>> Yes. I put that out to cover the whole

affair up so that if the worst comes to

the worst, it'll save him a great deal

of unpleasant notoriety.

>> George, what does he

>> prepare yourself for a great shock

agony?

>> [music]

>> I warn you. It's It's frightful.

>> Where is he?

>> [music]

>> What?

Huh?

>> You shouldn't have brought her here.

>> Stop shaking actor. I won't hurt you.

>> Oh, you poor boy.

Yeah.

>> How are you coming with that ghost yarn?

>> I couldn't get a thing out of her at the

boat. Now I'm going through the morg.

Boy, is she a screwy dame.

>> I don't want that junk. I want a

personal interview. and get me some more

pictures. Good one. Barney Smell. I'm

sending someone down to replace him.

Name's Billy Mason.

>> Okay, Chibi. Now, hop to it. And don't

call me Chiefy.

>> Okay, Chiefy.

Going into the army has sure done

something to Barney. Looks more like a

ghost than a ghost hunter to me. Now,

just what could have happened to get

such a piece of tribe?

Well, it's out of focus. It's

underexposed and overdeveloped.

And besides, there are two pictures on

the same negative.

>> Is that all?

>> Yes.

>> Yes, sir. Take Miss Mason down to

Carter. She's taking Barney's place.

>> Yes.

>> Well, thank you very much, Mr. Martin,

for giving me the break. I'm sure I

>> Ah, forget it. But remember, I'll be

satisfied with just one picture on each

negative. I'll do the very best I can.

>> Carter, Billy Mason.

>> Okay, sit down. Take the load off your

feet. I'll be with you in a minute.

Oh, what night? What went by when I

wasn't looking?

>> You see, you know your perfume.

>> I know that one. In fact, I'll never

forget it. The first girl I met that

used it either.

>> Was she nice? Yeah, she lied to me.

>> So,

>> she told me her boyfriend was in boot

camp.

>> Hey.

Okay, Mason, let's go.

Mason,

>> I'm Billy Mason.

>> Huh?

>> I said I am Billy Mason. I'm taking

Barney's place, whoever he is.

Why did you say so? Come on, let's go.

>> Where are we going, if I may ask?

>> To Springdale, the old Brewster home.

We'll interview you or screw your old A

and get some pictures. Good pictures, I

hope.

>> Why the I hope a good reporter generally

gets an interview.

>> Not worried about the interview. It's

the pictures I'm worried about.

>> Oh, I get it. Well, listen, Mr.

Brisbane, you take care of your end of

it, and don't worry about mine. My

pictures will be as good as your

interview and maybe a little bit better.

>> Cocky little Wench, aren't you?

>> Well, I've had to hold my own against

four brothers all my life. I guess I can

handle a 4F like you.

>> 4F? And what gives you the idea I'm in

4F? Well, I can't think of any other

good reason you're not in uniform.

>> Listen, baby. You're looking smack dab

at a 14 karat 1A. No dependence,

physically perfect with a personal

letter knocking from the president. 30

days from now, I'll be Jefferson B.

Carter, Seaman, third class.

>> Oh.

>> Oh, yes. 30 days September, April, June,

Jefferson B. Carter.

>> Well, I'll take back a part of it about

4, but the rest of it still stands.

>> Which makes me wish I was in the Navy

right now.

>> That makes two of us. All right, sailor.

Shove off.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

[music]

Heat.

>> [music]

[music]

>> You have no idea what I've gone through

in the last 3 months.

Sometimes I'm perfect and all mentally

I sit for hours and hours

looking in the mirror

hoping and praying for the slightest

sign on my physical change.

it doesn't come

and I feel myself

going back to the animal in state.

I try to fight it. I try to fight IT

WITH ALL MY willpower

and I feel

I can't live it.

I locked myself in there with him,

fearing that I might do something

terrible.

Oh, I can't stand it any longer. I can't

stand it. But must hurt me. He must do

what I am asking him.

>> What did you ask him to do, James, that

he refused?

I must have human spinal fluids injected

into me. It's my only chance.

Rand and I both agreed to it. It's the

only way to counteract the a fluid

injection.

But he won't do it. He won't do it.

>> Please, James. Please. I'll talk to

George. I know he'll do anything to save

you. I'll ask him.

>> No, he won't.

I pleaded and begged.

>> James tells me you refused to help him

any further.

>> Did he tell you why?

>> No.

>> Then I'll tell you. I'd have to commit

murder to do it.

>> Murder?

>> Yes. Cold blooded murder. You see this

spinal fluid that might cure him. And

there's a great possibility it wouldn't.

It's just a chance.

That fluid must be taken from a living

person and the ticket means instant

death.

>> Well, I must say the house matches the

old girl of a tea.

>> What do you mean?

>> She's a ghost hunter.

>> Did you say ghost?

>> Yeah. Ever seen any?

>> Don't be silly.

>> She has. [laughter]

No kid. She's written books about him.

She's been all over the world poking

around in cemeteries and haunted houses.

She just got back from a cook store of

haunted castles in Europe.

Come on, let's go.

>> Oh, get my pants.

>> That's your job.

>> OH, SHUT UP. STOP IT.

WELL, here's a chance for you to

photograph a ghost.

>> Very funny. Very funny.

Better see who it is. It may lay any

suspicions. Those screams aroused. Jim

has probably seen who it is in the

televisor. He won't give himself away.

Hello. You remember me from the boat?

Jeff Carter. Oh, yes.

>> Uh, this is Billy Mason. I brought her

along uh to get some more pictures. The

others were a lot They weren't good.

>> Well, uh, I'm afraid it's too dark in

here for pictures.

>> Oh, no. It'll be perfectly okay.

>> Oh, sure. It's okay. She makes pictures

in tunnels, don't you?

>> All right.

I'll be going, Miss Brewster. Just keep

on with the prescription I gave you.

>> Oh. Oh, I I will, doctor.

Won't you come into the library?

>> You don't mind, Miss Brusser? I'd like

to know a little more about your work,

your books, etc. I think our readers

would be interested.

>> Oh, certainly. Won't you sit down?

Thanks.

I hope you'll pardon the appearance of

this room, but I don't dare change a

thing. The entities that haunt this

house would not appear. They despise

improvements.

Cling only to the old familiar

surrounding.

Do you mean this house is really

haunted? Certainly, child. All houses

are haunted. All persons are haunted.

Throngs of spirits follow us everywhere.

We are never alone.

This room is crowded right now.

>> I don't see anything.

>> Oh, you can't see them any more than you

can see the wind.

They can destroy you if sufficiently

enraged.

Most spirits are honest, gentle, and

kind, and only want to bring happiness

to humans. But a few are evil and having

been wicked in life are wicked in death

and only haunt the scenes of desperate

crimes

reing

in murder.

>> That must have been the one we heard

when we drove up, huh?

>> Yes, you heard it.

Is it here? Right here. Oh, no. That's

what I brought from Scotland on a

photograph record. No kidding. I thought

I heard everything.

>> Would you like to give it?

>> Well,

what can we lose?

This spirit in Scotland is known as the

galloping ghost of Glenn Raver.

Help [music]

me.

[screaming]

>> [screaming]

>> Does it bother you, child?

>> Oh, no. I just won't sleep all night,

that's all.

>> Suppose we get the picture before Miss

Mason pass it out, huh?

>> Certainly.

>> Now, listen, Miss Bruce, you stand right

over here by the photograph and uh you

hold this record only like that.

Beautiful. All right, honey. Come on.

Come on. Get yourself together.

>> Thanks very much, Miss Bruce.

>> Oh, just a moment. One more seated,

please.

>> Oh, yes. Do you mind sit down? I'll take

the galloping goat. Now, you sit there

and try and give me a pose like you were

hunting for a goat. That's it. Get it.

That was very kind of you, Miss

Brewster. Uh, I'll send you a couple of

those pictures. I bet you look great.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

I'll uh send you a copy of the article.

I might want to check with you later.

May I come out again?

>> Uh, I guess so. But please phone me

first.

>> Oh, certainly. Certainly.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Well, um, goodbye.

Jane, are you mad to come up here?

>> What did Ronald say?

>> He will not be a party to a murder.

>> He's going to let me go through life

like this.

I told you he wouldn't help me. I told

you.

Hey.

>> Huh?

>> Are you going to town?

>> Yeah.

>> Fine.

Go right ahead.

>> That couldn't be the galloping ghost

himself, could it?

>> Even if I felt all right, that wouldn't

get a laugh out of me. All right, let's

go. We've got any gas.

>> What a lot of hoie. The galloping goat.

Huh? I wonder who she thinks she's

kidding.

>> Meaning what?

>> But that record sound like the noise we

heard when we drove up.

>> Come to think of it, no.

>> Darn. All right.

Well, there's something screwy about the

whole thing. I feel it in my bones.

>> Maybe it's rheumatism.

>> Yeah,

I might know.

with all these years of cooperation

leaving me to die like this that you

won't get away with it.

>> Oh, please, James. Something will

happen.

>> Oh, leave me alone. Go on. Get up. Get

upstairs. I want to think.

>> Get out. Or

>> Oh, all right. him.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Look at that.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Are you completely insane? How did you

get here? Perhaps our experiment has

taught me your tricks. Are you alone?

>> No. My butler somewhere around. Why did

you take such a chance?

>> I had to, George. I had to. I'm

desperate. You must hurt me. Get me the

fluid.

>> Do you realize what you're asking me to

do? Murder.

>> Oh, call it what you like. Call it what

you like. I must end that Lloyd. It's my

life against somebody else's. And I

don't want to live the rest of my life

this way. And I won't.

I I'll

>> Yes.

>> Someone from police headquarters to see

you, sir.

>> All right. Ask him to wait in the

library. I'll be right back.

>> Very good, sir.

>> Do you suppose anybody saw you come in

here?

>> No, I'm sure not.

>> Stay right here. Don't take a chance on

leaving.

Oh, the captain sent me over to get some

more dope on that booster disappearance

case.

>> But I've already told him all I know.

>> Well, there's a few things I'd like to

check on.

>> Very well.

The last time you saw him was Thursday.

Is that right?

>> [music]

>> me.

I'm ready.

>> [music]

>> weren't you? Huh? Uh, you were very

closely associated with Dr. Booster,

weren't you?

>> Oh, yes. Yes, Paul.

>> [music]

>> Hello Townsen.

>> Dr. Brewster.

>> Yes,

Dr. Brewster.

H. I see.

>> Perhaps I could drop in tomorrow

sometime. And

>> Oh, there's just a few more things. Uh,

where do I get this for Sam?

Well, I guess that's all. Thanks a lot,

Doc.

>> Not at all.

>> Oh, if you think of anything else in

connection with Dr. Brewster, let us

know. Looks like we sure can use a lot

of help on this one.

>> All right, I will.

>> Okay,

goodbye.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Get me the police. Did you have any

callers tonight?

>> No one but one of your men.

>> Who was that?

>> I don't know. I didn't get his name.

Came about the Brewster case. When did

you discover this? Right after he left.

>> You mean this happened while the cop was

in the house? Evidently, Townsen

admitted him.

>> Huh? Where's Townsen now?

>> Right there.

>> Oh,

how about it, Jack?

>> Strangulation. And by someone with

terrific strength by the looks of the

marks in his throat.

Who ever did it? Sure needed a haircut.

>> Yeah, sure. I looked like it.

>> Hello.

>> Hey, isn't that the guy we saw at Bruce?

It

>> does look like him, doesn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> Have those pictures.

>> Okay.

What's happened to him?

>> Just lost his butler by his

strangulation. Cops are trying to pin it

on an ape. Can you tie that here?

>> Well, I see you got something on the

film. Anyway,

>> now listen, old man river.

>> Uh-oh. Trying to pull a bonnie, huh?

>> What do you mean?

>> Two pictures for the price of one again.

Look at that.

>> Where?

>> Right there.

Well, I never saw that before.

>> What is it? How did it get there?

>> Look like a gorilla to me.

>> A gorilla?

>> Yeah.

>> Don't. What heading does that come

under? Trick photography? Is it a gag?

>> No, I didn't do it. It was in the

picture. It was there when I shot it.

[laughter]

>> Hey, wait a minute. Maybe this is the

galloping ghost of Glen Raven or

whatever his name was in the flesh.

Remember those sounds? Yeah. Is that the

way a gorilla sounds?

>> I'm not much of a tar that could be.

>> So, the butler of the guy we saw there

was murdered by an ape,

>> I wonder.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Try to sell the boss a bill of good.

>> Do you want me to go?

>> No, honey. You stay right there. Say,

maybe you're my lucky number.

[music]

to come yet.

>> No. Are you expecting him?

>> Yes,

I got it again. I got it.

>> What?

>> The fluid. The spinal fluid.

>> Did you know you've got it?

>> Yes. That's why I expected him.

>> Oh, he said he wouldn't.

>> He didn't get it. I did.

He is going to make the injection.

If he refuses,

I kill him. James,

>> I mean just what I said.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Dr. Randall in tell him he's wanted in

surgery.

>> To me, go ahead if you want to.

>> Thanks.

>> Taking Billy Mason with you?

>> Oh, no. I might have to do some second

story work and she might get a run in

her stocking.

>> Jim, do you realize what you've done?

>> Yes. Yes.

>> What about it? I've got it and I have a

chance to be cured. That's more

important. Even if it cost a man his

life.

>> Yes, it's my life I'm thinking about.

But we are wasting time. Look,

everything is ready for you to make the

injection. Come, don't let's argue.

Jim,

I lied to the police to save you

yesterday and made myself almost as

guilty as you are. But I won't

incriminate myself any further. I'm

through.

>> Oh, no you'll not.

>> Stretch will do you no good. If

necessary, I'll go to the police and

tell him the whole story.

>> You'll do as James says.

Go on, hurry.

>> Ready, doctor?

[laughter]

Hallelujah.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> George, it works. Look, I can stand up

straight.

Where

[music]

you [music]

are?

[music]

Just an old test of a newspaper man

again. Miss Bruce,

>> I thought you said you'd phone before

coming back.

>> I I did, but but your your phone seemed

to be always busy or out of order,

maybe. Have you tried your phone lately?

It could be, you know, all those things

get out of order. Funny thing. I know a

fellow that had a telephone that was

always out of order.

Well, uh, shall we, [clears throat] uh,

go in with the galloping ghosts.

>> You haven't given me much time to go

over my notes, Mr. Carter.

>> Oh, I'm not here in that ghost business.

>> No,

>> no. My boss is saying in that story for

a Sunday edition, but he does want me to

work on your brother's case. Has the

police got anything definitely to

report?

>> No, he's completely disappeared. I don't

understand it myself. It's It's

dreadful.

>> Yeah, I suppose work had anything to do

with it. Uh nervous breakdown or

amnesia, anything like that?

>> I don't know. I was in Europe, as you

know. I haven't seen him in over a year.

>> But his work was difficult, wasn't it?

Seems to me I heard something about his

terrific experiments. Yes, he has a very

scientific mind. Yeah,

>> just like my uncle. His house was always

full of guinea pigs and rats, even

monkeys. Big ones, too. Scared the

daylight out of my head.

>> So,

>> one day she just up and left them. And I

don't blame her. Just imagine opening

that door right now and coming face to

face with a gorilla.

Oh, but I suppose you're used to that

sort of thing.

I understand that your brother did a lot

of work on gorillas and apes, didn't he?

>> I wouldn't know. He never discussed

those things with me.

>> Well, I guess you can't be any help to

me. I'll just have to dig up what I can

for myself. Thanks.

>> Oh, by the way, Miss Bruss, did your

brother have a laboratory here in the

house where he worked?

>> Not that I know of.

>> Okay. Okay. I thought maybe I'd find

something there that might give me a

lead. Well, thanks and goodbye.

>> Bye, Mr. Carter.

>> A very clever young man there.

>> Yes, I heard.

George, do you think the fluid will cure

James completely and permanently?

>> I don't know, but it's useless for him

to look to me for any more help. I warn

you. I'll go to the police first.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> I can't straighten up.

It's worn off.

It wasn't enough.

It wasn't enough.

I need more.

George,

I gather.

I must have known.

>> [music]

>> That's it. I need more.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Woohoo! [ __ ] you.

[music]

>> [music]

[screaming]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> See, I wouldn't go down that way if I

were you.

>> Why?

>> Well, don't ask questions. [music] Come

on.

>> There have been three murders committed

in this precinct, and not one single

suspect brought in. Where'd that put us?

Right on the spot.

>> They all look like they were committed

by the same person, Captain. Outside of

that, we haven't got a single thing to

go on.

>> Not a thing, chap.

>> I suppose you expect the killer to come

in and give himself up, huh?

Now, listen. Get out and get that guy or

I'll transfer you so far back in the

sticks. The bears will be chasing you up

the trees. Come on now. Get out. Get

out.

Comfortable.

>> Well, hello, stranger. Where have you

been all week? I thought your draft word

had caught up with you. I've been parked

in the bushes outside the Brewster home

so long, I nearly took root.

>> Waiting for the galloping ghost to go

by.

>> No, I've got a hunch of something

screwer than ghost in that joint.

>> Well, why didn't you let me in on it?

>> Cuz if my hunch is correct, there's no

place for a babe in the woods like you.

>> Oh, by the way, if you need any more

bobby pins, you'll find mine in the

second drawer.

>> Thanks.

>> [music]

[music]

>> You see what we got? Plenty of it this

time. Plenty.

>> But George, it is only chance to become

>> absolutely no. And don't call me again.

The police have been here several times

this week. They may trace the call.

Well, what did he say? How soon will he

be here?

>> He's not coming.

>> He's not coming.

>> That's what he said.

>> He must. The food is already. He won't

keep.

>> Go. Tell him that quick.

>> It won't do any good. He won't do it.

>> You won't do it.

You won't do it. Huh?

All right. Yes. It doesn't matter.

>> James, what are you going to do?

>> If he won't come here, I'm going to him.

>> But you mustn't. The police are watching

him.

>> I don't care. I'm going.

Just please leave me alone.

>> Let's kill you.

>> Let me go. Let me go.

[music]

Oh, it's you.

>> Yeah. Were you expecting someone else?

>> No, no, not come here.

>> Mhm. A little touch up on the hair, new

pair of lips, and you're as good as new.

>> Where are you going?

>> Back to my listening pose.

>> Roosters?

>> Uh-huh.

>> Can I go with you?

>> Uh-uh.

>> Well, why not?

>> No place for little girls. There's too

many snakes, frogs, and lizards. Big

one. Big as alligators. And besides, if

I have to run, I don't want to wait for

you. Oh. Uh, don't wait up for me.

[music]

[music]

We're no nearer to the killer than we

were before.

Yes.

All right, we're coming in.

Come on, Jim.

>> [music]

>> I do. Good night, gentlemen.

All right, let's go.

>> Now, I've got a hunch he's expecting

somebody. Let's wait around and see.

>> [music]

>> I could kill you before they got here,

so be careful. It is here, George.

Plenty of it. Look, it's enough for half

a dozen injections. This time, it can't

fail.

Come on, hurry.

>> [music]

>> YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. YOU HEAR ME?

>> All right. Good.

Here.

[music]

>> [music]

[screaming]

[music]

[music]

Neck broken.

Oh, Jeff. Jeff, honey, I ignored you.

Jeff, please wake up. Jeff, talk to me.

Can't you hear me? Talk to me again,

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hurry up. Hurry up.

[music]

You came to Randall to warn him about

someone. Now, who was it?

>> Brian,

what?

What?

Okay.

>> Okay.

Get over to the Brewster home as quick

as you can. There's trouble over there.

Take her with you.

>> Come on, lady.

>> Come on. Hurry up.

[music]

[music]

[screaming]

[music]

Yeah.

Billy. Billy.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Don't worry, I'm cover.

[music]

[music]

Go back in there.

GO BACK IN THERE.

[music]

HELP!

[music]

[music]

[music]

HELP! SEE, [music] there's a button back

there or a loose panel or something.

>> Yeah. Please help me. Get me out.

>> [music]

>> Help you. No.

[music]

[screaming]

>> [music]

>> Stay here. The best seats up the back.

Come on.

>> You took her down in there and I can't

open that thing. She knows how it works.

Come on. Make her open it up quick.

>> All right. Open it up.

Good job.

>> [clears throat]

>> You know, I want to put you over my knee

and paddle you good.

>> Don't be a chunk.

>> Hey, what are you doing in my car?

Who are you anyway? Me? Oh, I'm the

author of the story.

Screwy idea, wasn't it?

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Heat. Heat.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Is this the body?

>> Yes, doctor. And the police are

particularly anxious that the cause of

death be determined at the earliest

possible moment.

>> It's a pity. She was a very beautiful

woman. One hates to perform an autopsy

on a beautiful woman. But you have no

other choice, doctor.

>> Most unusual.

There are no marks of violence on the

body. What do they suspect? Poison of

the idea.

>> My understanding is, doctor, that the

authorities are entirely at sea as to

how she was killed. They know why, but

and they also have a fellow killer.

>> Yes. Yes. That doesn't matter. That's

none of our business. Our business is to

find out what killer. And yet

one often wonders

what could have caused the last thought

that was cut off by death.

If it was spoken now,

what would it be?

If you're here,

you found me alive. If you know what you

kill me, I won't. Don't come and I'll

kill him. No girl, please don't.

NO, NO. [music] I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T want

the bandage.

>> Why, Laura? Why are you so opposed to

the bandage?

>> Does it remind you of something,

perhaps?

>> What do you mean?

>> Oh, nothing, Laura. Nothing.

Now, won't you lie down again and let me

complete the examination?

You're a sick girl, you know, in a

highly nervous condition.

>> I want to know what you meant by saying

the bandage reminded me of something.

>> If you don't know, how should I?

You don't fool me for a minute, doctor.

I know how you feel about me.

>> Do you, Laura? Then I wish you tell me,

for I don't know. I don't know how I

feel about you at all.

>> You're clever, doctor. But I'm wise to

you and that fool of a son of yours.

>> How long have you been married to Ward

now?

>> Too long.

>> And why don't you give him his divorce?

He's asked you often enough.

>> I'll give him a divorce when I'm getting

ready.

>> I see. I'm not afraid of anything he can

do or you or anyone else.

>> Your heart beating like a trip.

I must warn you of this high state of

nervous tension.

>> What's that noise?

[music]

>> [music]

>> It's only a branch stepping against the

window.

>> Now, my dear Laura, if you want me to

help you, you must tell me what it is

you fear.

>> I told you I'm not afraid of anything.

I know what's going on here. Someone's

trying to scare me out, but it won't

work. See, here I am, and here I'll stay

until I rot.

>> I'm afraid there's more truth in that

than you suspect.

>> Laura, I must ask you not to cause

father any more trouble.

>> I don't want you threatening him, you

>> so cute. I'm sure you want to be alone.

>> You're not going to make it pay for my

mistake. What are you going to do about

it?

>> I would like to.

>> You'd like to choke me, wouldn't you, W?

You haven't got the nerve

here. It's the only thing you ever gave

me. You can have it back.

>> She's right. I gave her this when we

were married. It's the only gift that

ever passed between us.

>> Ward, what do you propose to do about

Laura?

>> What can I do? She won't leave me. She

won't give me a divorce. Now, things

can't go on this way. You

>> What is the matter with her? What do you

think is wrong?

>> I don't know.

>> She wasn't this way until she began

getting those letters from the draw. Do

you remember?

>> Yes, it had something to do with those

letters. But you would have thought that

when they stopped coming, then

>> what is it, Elizabeth?

>> There's a patient, doctor, a Mrs.

Williams.

>> Williams?

>> That's a name she gave. And she's decked

out like she's going to a horse show.

I can't see anyone today. I ask her to

make another appointment. Dad, please

don't let this happen interfere with

your practice. Oh,

>> very well. I'll send her in in a few

minutes.

>> Sure, doctor. Oh, yeah. That Bill

Raymond's waiting. Do you want to see

him?

>> Who's he?

>> That private cop who's always hanging

around just hoping somebody gets

murdered.

>> Oh, yes. He's probably come for his

check. Take care of it, will you? Ward.

>> Yes.

Little.

>> Yes.

>> This for you.

>> Gee.

Thanks, Mr. Roy. But this belongs to

Mrs. Darn, doesn't it? Not anymore. It's

all yours.

>> She won't get sore. She I don't want to

have any trouble with her. You know how

she is.

>> I know. We all know little bit. I want

to thank you for your patience.

>> Run along now. Little bit.

>> Yes, doctor.

>> You made a fatal mistake, my boy, in

marrying Laura.

>> Yes, I know.

>> You don't suppose I'm going to stand for

it forever, do you?

>> No, I don't. But I don't think it will

be necessary.

>> Do you have a plan?

I think it'll be better if you leave

everything to me.

[music]

>> From the day a mysterious caller came to

see Dr. Vani.

[music]

>> Oh yes, I remember now, Mrs. Williams. I

spoke to you this morning on the

telephone. I'm sorry, but I can't tell

you any more now than I told you then.

>> Oh, naturally, doctor. I did not mean to

imply that there were any abnormal

goings on here.

>> I assure you there is not, Mrs.

Williams, nor will there be.

>> Nevertheless, doctor, the way you were

described to me and the way your place

was described to me, I am certain that I

am in the right place.

>> May I ask from whom you obtained these

descriptions?

>> From a friend, doctor. A mutual friend.

[music]

>> Wait, the woman I love.

Can't we be friends? Stop tracking your

big flat feet after me wherever I go.

I've got things to do.

>> Ry, it's wonderful just to see you

around busying yourself. The little

housewife.

>> I never knew the cops wouldn't love to

stand around and watch other people

work.

>> Mrs. Williams, it's obvious from your

conversation that you've come into

possession of certain facts concerning

my past. I know of only one person who

could have given you that information,

and it was my belief. Yes. even my hope

that person was dead.

But let me say that even if that person

were alive, I should not submit to

blackmail from you or from anyone else.

>> You show great courage, doctor, for one

in your unusual position. There has been

no question of blackmail. I came here

seeking your cooperation, which you have

refused to give. So, let us call the

matter close.

Old doctor.

Then came this sinister pair.

There is an air of inquiry about you

that immediately offends my deepest

nature. There is something suggesting

Scotland Yard. the French suit, the

Italian crabi, the Turkish police and

other minions of the law. Sharter, I

think you're a cop,

a dear doctor.

Truthfully, can it be said that your

house is your castle, protected by your

countless slaves?

>> So it is you, Leonide.

I was warned you might appear like one

of your own illusions out of nowhere.

>> My dear Joseph,

you have not changed a bit. Have you met

my friend, Mr. Raymond? Raymond?

Oh, Raymond, who doubted the relative of

the great magician of the same name?

>> Mr. Raymond is our private patrol.

He keeps an eye on the premises for us

and other comingings and goings.

>> A very good idea, my dear Joseph.

There's a private buddy to get you back

and call.

>> Well, you fellas are old friends. I can

see that.

>> Oh, yes.

Old friends.

>> Well, then maybe you'd like to be alone

here. Talk over old times.

>> A very good suggestion. Thank you, Mr.

P.

I will be far away, Doc.

[clears throat]

>> Well, so long, Mr. Leonide. Don't pull

any more little men out of your hat.

>> Well, Leonide, what brings you to me

after all this time?

>> The long arm of coincidence, my Joseph?

Simply the long arm of coincidence?

Aren't you glad to see me again?

>> No, I can't say that I am. You with your

forum background and I what are we to

income?

Always truthful come Joseph as when we

were young men you might have said no

and saved your career

but you prefer to tell the truth and

ruin yourself.

>> What do you want here Leonite?

A few days hospitality, my dear Joseph,

not yours. Is that too much for one

cousin to ask of another? Remember, we

agreed not to think of each other as

cousins again, me and I. By God, my dear

adjustment, and I'm willing to forget,

and I suggest that you do the same.

You've grown older than I, but there may

be something in what you say.

I don't want to hold a grudge, but don't

do anything that will make me regret my

action.

You have my purpose. Now, if you behold

to my room. Oh, I should say I have a

traveling companion from whom I am

inseparable.

Oh, Indigo Edward, one of the little

men. He became very much attached to me

when he lost his master. Do not object.

What good would that do? How true? Very

well. You may have the room next to my

daughter. I know you like that. Oh yes.

The lady who I'm told has an utmost

horror of having eyes blindfolded.

Phobia most interesting. I dare say

something to think about.

A gruesome surprise was in store for me

the following morning.

>> How can you be sure?

Who can ever be sure what's behind the

mask?

If the people in this photograph

suddenly come to light,

I'd like to know who the man is. It can

be anyone, my friend. anyone in this

makeup. It might be even I. I wish you

wouldn't joke about it. This is very

serious, of course. But let us say you

found out who the man in the photograph

is. What then?

>> Who knows?

[music]

I'll make a bet in green.

We'll get you yet

[music]

[music]

to rescue. Ma'am, who done it? Which way

did he go?

>> Get out. Get out. Look, I just heard you

yell. I was hoping it was a murder at

least.

>> Get out of here. You have no business

here.

>> Well, but you don't understand. I'm

supposed to be here. That's what I'm

being paid for.

>> Paid?

>> Yeah. You see, I'm Bill Raymond, private

cop in this neck of the woods. I was

hoping we'd have a little murder or

something happen around here so as I

could solve it and get my old job back

at Sentinel Homicide. Nothing personal,

of course.

>> Who told you to say these things to me?

>> Well, nobody. Nobody said nothing to me.

I was just waiting around outside to see

Dr. Vani and I heard you yell.

>> So you're a friend of that crazy doctor

and his son.

>> Crazy. I wouldn't exactly say that,

ma'am. The docs are pretty good. Hey,

you wouldn't want anyone to say you was

crazy. Even if you

>> You can go back and tell him I'm not

afraid of being murdered by you or them

or anyone else.

>> No, I don't guess you are, ma'am. Still

in all, if if you was to get murdered

and I was to find out who done it, it

would be kind of a break for me. [music]

>> That don't be beat.

>> I wouldn't say that to you, lady. Even

if I knew what it meant.

>> Now, will you get out?

>> All right. All right. I can take a hint.

Nice little bedroom companion you've got

there.

>> Get out.

>> I'll go. I'll go. But don't think I'll

come running next time you yell.

Although it's a prank,

>> I became afraid and my mind started to

crack.

>> Lily Beth,

my melancholy baby, where are you?

>> Where'd you get that box? I don't know

what you're talking about. You lying

little snoop going through my things.

What'd you do with a picture? Where is

it? I didn't see it. That's the last

time you put your hands on me. I'll give

you one more chance and then I'll I told

you I don't know where her picture is

and I don't know what you're talking

about. Being you all the way through my

things, opening my mail, wrapping on my

door at night.

>> Now you're blaming me. I've never

touched anything of yours. Or

>> I'll tell you when there's something I

don't want.

[screaming]

>> Shut up. It's only a dummy.

>> A dummy? Where'd you get that thing?

>> I suppose you're going to tell me you

don't anything about that either.

>> Oh, I bet it was in the box. In the box

I brought up for you. That's what

>> there were no stamps on it. How did it

get in the mail?

>> I don't know. The doorbell rang and I

thought it was a mailman. I opened the

door and it was sitting there on the

stove.

>> You're lying.

>> No, I'm not. I don't mind telling a lie

now and then, but I'm not lying now.

Honest

trying to scare me out.

Stop leaving.

>> No, but I am. You come here. You and Mr.

Water are pretty thick, aren't you?

>> Thick? Yes. Thick like your head. He's

falling over someone else. Who is she?

>> I don't know. It's not me.

>> I know it is you. I know all the signs.

It's falling over some simple faith

men. There's always a way to get eaten

with them.

Got to find that picture. Otherwise,

they won't know what he looks like. That

doesn't have to be the police. He won't

dare touch me.

>> Who do you mean the man in the picture?

Have you seen him?

>> Maybe I have and maybe I haven't. Maybe

I saw him go behind the picket or

through the wall or under the house.

He's here in the house.

>> Yes, I let him in. I let him in. He was

waiting outside to get you, Mr. Faval.

Maval,

>> there's nothing safe from your prying

eyes, is it? You think you know [music]

everything, don't you?

>> I know why you're afraid. And I know

what you've done. No, I'm not so thick.

I'm not as thick as you think I am, Slug

Val. That head's supposed to be you.

Kind of a calling car. I'll remind you

that.

>> Why you

[music]

>> Excuse me, lady.

[music]

Oh, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid. Where are you? Hide.

Dr. [music] Benny. Dr. Benny.

Dr. Benny. Dr. Van.

Doc. Doc. Punish. But after all, ain't

nothing in my contract that says I got

it. Well, now I ask, is that anything to

be playing football with?

>> Where did you get that, Raymond?

>> Miss I was a pass receiver for a

football team, and I'm all out of

practice.

>> Let me see it.

>> This comes from a group of anatomical

specimens that was locked in a room in

the cellar.

How did you happen to get it?

>> That's what I'm trying to tell you.

There I was outside her door strictly

minding my own business. Understand?

Listening at the keyhole.

>> I don't think that belongs in the realm

of your duties, Raymond.

>> But doctor was screams inside. You've

got to admit it's within the longit

profession to make with an investigatory

reaction there, too. What am I saying?

>> I don't understand how his head got his

locker in the cellar.

>> Well, the way I heard it, it was sent to

Mrs. Vanet.

>> That was rather a gruesome practical

joke. Why? Your anatomical locker hasn't

been open for ages. I think you once

told me you've lost the only key to it.

>> I know there is no key to my knowledge.

>> That thing didn't walk out of the room

by itself.

>> Hardly.

>> Doc, I'm worried.

>> What about Raymond?

>> Well, now take this head business. The

whole thing don't seem hardly serious to

me. I think that if it's all the same to

you, I've got to be checking along to

other duties. You're not afraid, are

you, Raymond?

>> Oh, me scared?

>> It's just that I don't think that

there's going to be any murder here done

after all. That's too bad. Well, it's

not your fault, I guess. It's just not

my lucky day, that's all.

Thank you, Bill.

Oh, Miss Lily Beth, have you a little

more coffee in the kitchen?

>> What happened to the three counts I

already gave you today?

>> Lily Beth, what you need is a good,

strong, steady man,

>> who is always hanging around, cracking

up my floors and things. Put that on

your shoes. Looks like cobwebs out of

the cellar.

What were you doing in the basement?

>> Could have been the attic.

>> Bill Raymond, you're holding out on me.

What are you up to?

>> Up to?

>> Yes. Who asked you to go poking around

in the cellar? It

>> was in performance of my duty.

>> What duty?

>> What did you find?

>> Absolutely nothing. That's what makes me

so disgusted.

>> Too bad about you.

>> You know, Lily Beth, I think some bunny

around here was just kidding. They don't

mean business at all.

>> Why don't you just wait around and see?

Say, if you got any inside dope, I wish

you tipped me off. If I'm ever going to

get back to Central and prove I'm a good

detective, I got to have some clues.

>> Yes, I was scared. Scared of my life.

>> Did big things of that ghoulish looking

guy, but he ain't deliberate neither.

>> I should say in a way you were entitled

to expect big things from him.

Leo was once confined in this house when

it was an institution for the insane.

Nerds, you know.

>> Do tell. Well, then he must know his way

around the place, huh?

>> I understand why he was here. He

engineered an immense number of secret

passages through which the guards could

keep an eye on the inmates at night.

Finally, he took one of these passages

into the outside world, and we heard

later he'd been seen in Europe.

>> Ah, Europe. That's where history is

being made today. Gee, I'd love to

travel and

>> Well, perhaps you'll have an opportunity

someday.

>> Not if something don't happen around

here pretty soon to make me famous.

Lily, I've been trying to get a cup of

coffee off of her all day. She don't

care what happens to my metabolism.

Metabolism.

That's a good word. I wonder what it

means.

Operator,

I want [music] the police right away.

Stop crowding me,

>> my hun. Don't you want me around to

protect you? That indigo guy, my

>> Yes, but who's going to protect me from

you?

>> Lily,

my wild Irish rose. I just live for the

day when I can take you out of all this.

When I can slave and and get you the

luxuries in life. Gee, I'd gladly work

my fingers to the bone to to buy you

expensive motor cars and furs and and

jewels and and things and and serve you

breakfast in bed. What's the matter with

me? Am I crazy?

>> Yes, and I'd hate to hang by my neck

until you got me all those things.

>> Yeah, you might get a little blue in the

face, but still in all, all I got to do

is to find myself one slightly murdered

body, and I'm in.

>> Stop looking at me.

Oh, Lily Beth. Sometimes I think I'm not

getting anywhere with you. What do you

think?

>> I think you've got a good idea there.

>> All right. All right. You'll be sorry

someday when you see my picture in the

paper.

>> Wait and see.

Hey, Lilyat. Why don't you answer the

doorbell? Maybe that indigo guy wants

in.

The doctor ain't home. You have to call

some other time. Don't be silly.

Don't say I didn't tell you. Close the

door on your way out.

>> Hey, wait a minute. Well, if it isn't

Paul Raymond.

>> Shh. Terry, you trying to ruin me?

>> Ruin him. Come here, Paul.

Meet Miss Cornell.

>> How do you do? I'm sure.

>> Hi, CL. [music]

>> How do you happen to be out with him?

>> You darling, don't you think? Flat at

both ends, head and feet. You've heard

me speak of him.

>> Bill Raymond.

>> Bill Raymond, if you please. Mr. Perry

Lee, your so-called reporter. How do you

happen to be out with a dish like this?

>> Jane Cornell. Good for double days in a

man's life.

>> Mr. Rain. Oh, yeah. I remember. Carrie

told me about the time you shot up the

dress maker's dummy. Uh-huh.

>> Yeah. He said you closed in on what you

thought was a murderer, but it turned

out to be the dress maker's dummy and

you shot it full of holes while the real

murderer got away. [laughter]

>> My p.

>> So, this is where you've been hiding

after they kicked you out for that

fiasco, huh, bold, Bill? I mean,

>> what are you doing here? Can a man

redhabilitate himself in peace? Here I

come looking for an honest crime around

here so I can solve it and get myself

back to Central. Then you come along and

>> Where's the body, Bill? There ain't

nobody. That's the trouble.

>> No, no, let's keep it friendly.

>> Friendly? What do you mean?

>> Let's have it. Who killed who and why?

>> Are you kidding?

>> Did somebody get knocked off around

here?

>> Look, I don't like to be kided either.

Where is it hidden, Sherlock?

>> Oh, Terry, you've been on the police

beat so long that

>> Now, listen, Bill, you know me well

enough to know I wouldn't come out here

just for the ride. Not when I could be.

Um, it just so happens there was a call

to the police. came from out here and I

happened to be there when it came

through. Miss Cornell happens to be the

operator. So, she took me off, told me

the line had gone dead. So, I smell the

story and here I am for an exclusive.

You see what I mean? What's in that?

>> Well, that's the doctor's consulting

room, but there ain't nobody in there.

I've been standing here for quite a

spell.

>> Open it up. Let's take a look.

>> That's funny. The lights in here ain't

almost never out.

>> In you go.

>> Never do that. I could get killed that

way. [music]

>> Not bad.

>> Oh, so nothing's happened around here,

huh?

>> There. See, like I said, there ain't

nobody here.

Hey, cut it out, Willie. You're making

me dizzy.

>> Well, sure somebody stumbled over it,

pulled it out of the wall. Could happen

anywhere.

>> [screaming]

[music]

>> wants to shake hands with you, Bill.

Step right up.

>> Not me. You've seen it first.

>> Doc

Ren,

did you try and kill me? Oh, why do why

should I do that? You ain't paid me for

last month yet.

>> How long you been here?

>> Now, let me see. I was going to make a

telephone call, then

>> somebody count your hand, doctor, then

rip the telephone wire off.

>> Yes, I imagine that is about what

happened.

Who are these people?

>> Well, they're all right, Doc. This is

Terry Lee and Miss Cornell from the

Times.

>> We don't want any reporters here.

Nothing's happened.

>> Look, doctor, nobody ever wants

reporters, but then something happens

and there they are.

>> But nothing has happened. I fell and

hurt my head.

>> Oh, I see. Then you got up again, put

yourself on the table, and got all nice

and pretty in that shroud there.

>> You won't get any story here. And now,

if you'll excuse me, I have some work to

do.

>> Doctor, do you mind if we stick around

for a while? Seeing that nothing's

happened. Well, uh, why not? Well, you

may stay for a while, but I warn you, if

you make yourselves objectionable in any

way, I'll have Raymond throw you out.

>> Well, come on. You heard what the doctor

said. He's busy. Get out of the office.

>> Probably a pretty nice guy caught in a

tough spot. That's the way I see it.

>> You wouldn't want me to tell him you got

kicked out of homicide, would you,

Billy?

Oh, Terry, you're my pal. You know that,

don't you? Would I kick you out?

>> You would if you could, Bill. Now, why

can we have a little talk quietly?

>> Well, if you just follow me in the

parlor over here.

>> Oh, me too, darling. Me, too. Darling

knows everything about everyone, and

that's how I learned.

>> Good.

>> I just did a defeat and lesson.

>> Baby, I'm going to miss you an awful lot

when I grow tired of you. Now, remember,

you're just going to listen.

>> Well, of course, darling. What else do I

do when I'm with you? Sit down.

Now, as I remember it, there was a

singer at the click club who called us.

>> I don't know nothing about it.

>> Oh, yes, you do. It was just about the

same time that you had that affair

[music] with the dress maker dummy.

>> Oh. Uh Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now I remember,

Terry. You're right. You're right. She

was down to the click club. It was her

that married Ward.

>> Wasn't that on a bed of some kind?

Well, there was a party going on and uh

somebody dared Ward to ask the singer to

marry him and he thought at the time it

was a good gag and he went along with

it.

>> That's right. He got pretty high and

then popped the question out of it.

>> How romantic. I'd love that.

>> Hush, dear. L I S T E N.

>> Oh,

>> well, that's how it happened anyway.

Ward woke up the next morning and found

himself married solid. He'd asked her

and she'd snapped him up.

>> Oh, and they lived happily ever after.

>> I don't care. I think it was sweet.

Darling, couldn't I get you high

sometime? And

>> sweetheart, have you ever heard the old

saying about little girls?

>> What's that?

>> Little girls should be seen and not

heard. Now go on, powder your nose.

>> All right.

>> I think I'll be shoving along, too.

>> Now, wait a minute. We're just getting

started. We were talking about a singer

who called herself Laura Lval and pushed

away into this house for good reasons of

her own.

>> Gentlemen, I beg you pardon.

I must tell you frankly, I have been

struck.

>> Professor Leonite, this is a reunion.

>> My boy, you must forgive me. You seem to

remember me. But I do not recollect you.

When was it?

>> What was it? Oh, Professor, it was a

long time ago when I was a kid up in the

balcony in Albany.

>> Yes.

>> When you brought down the house with

great feats of legit domain.

>> You remember, Professor? That was the

night that the box office receipts

disappeared. Just like magic.

>> Part of the act, my boy. Just a part of

the act. It's a pleasure to meet one of

my youthful admirers,

>> Terry Lee of the Central City Times.

Who? Press. Well, it's nice to have

known you.

>> Wait a minute, professor. What's your

hurry? Are you afraid I might bring up

the subject of those certain unfortunate

recent connections of yours?

>> Shut in the dark, my boy. I'm sure. And

I will ignore it.

>> Of course.

>> And this young lady, no doubt a

companion of yours,

>> Jane Cornell, my fianceé.

>> Delightful.

>> Likewise, I'm sure.

>> Delightful.

And I would suggest to take very good

care of her.

>> Oh, I haven't had a chance to talk to

him yet, Mrs. Banny.

>> Never mind. I'll tell her myself.

>> Darling, I met her upstairs and I told

her all about you and that you know

everything about everyone.

>> Thank you very much, dear. Welcome to

your living room, Mrs. Vany.

>> Thank you. But it isn't my living room.

I understand you're not unaware of my

position in this house.

>> Well, um, maybe you can tell us about

it.

>> I'm being kept a prisoner here against

my will. I'm alone and friendless.

>> I'm sorry. Why haven't you called the

police?

>> They've done nothing but to call the

police. They have kept me penalous, but

I can't leave.

>> I understand.

>> They're trying to destroy my mind, Mr.

Lee, by innuendo, and indirection.

They're trying to make me believe I've

done something dreadful in the past.

going to be the victim of some horrible

vengeance.

>> You know best about that.

>> I'm innocent, Mr. Lee. I've done

nothing. Now, this doctor stranger here

with these tricks and illusions to

further make me

>> You mean the professor and his little uh

>> Yes. You must help me, Mr. Lee.

>> Mora, it's so good to see you downstairs

again after all these days being locked

in your room.

>> You know perfectly well why I've

remained locked in my room.

>> Lord, this is Mr. Lee of the Times. The

gentleman [music] I told you about

upstairs.

>> Oh, yes. Uh, look here, Mr. Lee. We

don't want any more of that Trump page

splash stuff such as I got when I

married Laura.

>> Your wife's been telling us that she's

being kept here under constant threat.

>> She is out of her mind.

>> See what I mean, Mr. Lee? They don't

overlook a single chance to put it in my

head that I'm crazy.

>> Perhaps I can explain, Mr. Lee. We don't

believe there's anything wrong with

Laura now. But we are sure something

will happen to her mind if she continues

to live under this strain.

>> Just as I told you, they're behind it.

Can I make that clear to you? They spend

all their time trying to terrify me.

They write me letters of greening. They

send me dummy heads wrapped in green

paper. Anything to fright me so I can't

sleep. I can't think. The only thought

in my head is I'm going to be killed.

>> These are very serious charges,

gentlemen. And I might say it and make a

perfect front page splash.

>> Leave your dare friend a word about

those ravings of my wife.

>> Don't do anything to make me think they

aren't ravings, Mr. Vanie.

He said to put the blindfold on and you

will know the truth. No. [music]

>> What's wrong with her, doc?

>> Quiet, Raymond.

>> You don't mean that she's dead, Raymond.

[screaming]

>> [music]

>> Then I knew that he was here.

>> She's coming out of it, but she's in an

advanced state of shock. Maybe necessary

to administer a sedative.

>> That's intended to shut her up. I'd like

to hear her do some more talking,

doctor.

>> If her mind is allowed to dwell upon

what's happened, that may be the

breaking point.

>> Well, you've got all the answers.

>> Look here, Lee, I don't like your tone.

If you have any insinuations to make,

make them to me.

>> Okay, I will. Suppose you and I talk

this over downstairs. I don't recognize

your right to question me. However, if

it'll make you leave father alone,

fix yourself a chair right outside the

door and don't leave him until I get

back.

>> Sure. Sure. But what about Lily? Won't

she write nothing around here?

>> Molly, first I'd like to see your

credentials. You're busting here saying

you're a reporter.

That's the old turn the tables gag,

Venny, but if it will make you any

happier, take a look.

>> All right, you're a reporter, but I

still don't understand how you and the

young lady got the news about our

troubles.

Do you really believe that story, Lee?

Do you in your right senses really

believe that we are keeping Laura

prisoner here?

>> That's what the lady says. She said that

>> nonsense. Nothing would please me more

than if she got out.

Look, I don't get any of this stuff,

Manny, but there's a tricky deal going

on around here, and I intend to sit in

on it. Too bad I can't flash the city

desk to make ready for a front page

replay.

>> Yes, it

your wife is the victim of a wellplotted

program of persecution calculated to

drive her insane, or she's the uh witch

you say she is. If

>> you're the fellow with the noseful news,

what does it tell you? It

>> tells me that right now I'd like to know

where your disappearing relative is.

Thank you for what's out there. I have a

right to know.

>> Don't see anything. What was it?

>> It isn't possible. It isn't possible. Of

course.

>> What do you see out there, Lee? I've had

enough of this. Come on.

>> Are you nervous, Miss Cornell?

>> Oh, no. I think it's very exciting.

Oh, professor. I thought I just saw you

outside banging at the moon.

>> You disturbed [music] her asleep.

Child,

>> where have you been? We should start

acting normally for a change. You're

bringing suspicion upon all of us.

>> I, my boy, what have I not?

>> Suppose you tell us. Has no one arranged

to silence you yet, Mr. Lee? What a

pity.

>> I don't silence very easy, professor,

and it would take a lot more than what

you've done to her.

Do you suggest that I had a hand in that

poor girl's unfortunate demise?

>> Why don't you behave yourself,

Professor? Mr. Vanie here has the right

idea. You're just gumming up the works.

>> I did my humble best.

>> Who are you working for? What do you

expect to get out of it?

>> I'm charging the debt, Mr. Lee. A debt

contracted many years ago.

Now, are you any wiser than you were a

moment ago? No, but I'm beginning to get

a general idea.

>> What a lady, how's that little girl of

yours? I hope fervently that nothing

happened to her.

>> She would look so beautiful lying here.

>> Look, professor, I may not have been

very smart in bringing Miss Cornell

here. But if I thought you had any plan

to do that,

>> why do you persist in me the villain,

Mr. Lee?

[music]

>> Now we will let you be the witness, Mr.

Lee. I am here. Sounds came from

upstairs. Right.

[music]

>> Laura.

[music]

>> Jenny. Jenny, wake up. Wake up.

>> Oh, Terry.

>> Tell me what happened.

>> Oh. Oh, Terry. Let me think. Everything

was blackened.

>> Yes. And then it started to talk.

>> What started to talk?

>> I don't know. That thing.

>> Now look, let's get back to the

beginning. I left you here with Dr.

Vanie.

>> Yeah. And Benny gave Mrs. Vany a shot

with a long needle.

>> Never mind that.

>> All right. Then he said, "Would I sit

with Mrs. Vanie?"

>> Okay. Okay. Where is she now?

>> Who?

>> Mrs. Vanie.

>> Well, where did she go?

>> That's just what I asked you, Janie.

>> Well, she was right here. Then Dr. Vanie

went out. Then what happened?

>> Well, oh, then Bill Raymond came in.

>> Oh, that's great. They totally in the

same room at the same time. How did you

get sign language?

>> Oh, I don't care. All you do is make fun

of me. I didn't ask this. Whatever it

is.

>> Oh, yes, you did, dear. Don't you

remember? You said you wanted to see

what the life of a reporter was like.

>> Don't forget, Mr. Lee, one must not

expect too much of certain types of

mentality.

>> Shut up, Bill Raymond. I remember you

when you couldn't even make your ex.

>> Oh, I want to go home.

>> We can't go home, darling. We've got to

get a story.

>> Why?

>> You [music] don't understand.

>> Yes, I do. Why do I have to get the

story? Who cares?

>> She's got you there.

>> All right. Now, you tell me what

happened to you.

>> Me? Oh, well, you said to stay outside

the door and I pulled up a chair.

>> That's right. She was inside the door

and you were outside.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Then then come that that odor of

heavenly perfume.

>> That was an element. [music]

>> It was sweet and penetrating like like

an ancient drug. And I felt kind of

sleepy like oh so sleepy.

At last, he had me under his power.

>> There must be a button or a gadget of

some kind around here.

2:00 almost deadline for the 9:00 final.

>> Oh, Terry, what makes you think there's

anything behind them walls?

>> I've got a sneaking suspicion that the

professor uses them for a disappearing

act.

>> I wish Lily Beth was here. Take me a cup

of coffee.

>> Well, she's right over in the doctor's

office. Why don't you ask her?

>> Poor Lily. I kind of hinted that all I

needed was a murdered body, but I didn't

think she'd take it personal.

>> Will you stay with those wolves?

>> I've been around him three times. Terry,

>> thing I can't understand, if the

professor was down here when the trouble

was going on upstairs, he just had to be

two different guys in order to have a

hand in it. All right, Terry. Let's

figure it out in the morning. Huh?

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Wake up. Either something or somebody

opened the front door.

>> That's the shortest night's sleep I've

had in a long time.

>> All right. Now that you're good and

rested, let's see if we can understand

what happened upstairs.

Well, you think it had something to do

with that picture maybe that Lily Beth

found in Mrs. Vany's room?

>> What picture?

>> Oh, the one with the couple with the two

masks. You know, the like we found like

that mask.

>> Who has the picture now?

>> Well, young Benny, I guess.

>> That's a point. Where has Mr. Benny been

since his wife's disappearance?

>> Well, him and his old man are sleeping.

I guess they got some sense.

>> No, no, no. I've already checked that

and they haven't slept in their beds

tonight.

Wake up.

>> I refuse to answer the grounds of my

tender incriminator degrading me.

My unconscious mind.

>> Now look, Bill, please stay awake for a

while. Now look, tell me what happened

when you smell that sweet odor in the

hall upstairs.

>> Oh, it smell lovely. Lovely. That's all

I can remember.

And Dr. Vanie had already left Laura's

room. Is that right?

>> Yeah. He'd gone out and he said good

night and and he had given her some

sedative or something that he said would

take care of her all morning and then he

went down the hall to his own room and

you fell asleep.

>> Yeah. No, I just kind of tossed off a

little

like this.

>> Here's your coffee, sir.

>> Terry, that's a dirty trick.

Stay on the other side of that window.

>> What's for?

>> Take a look.

>> I'm okay.

>> What do you see?

>> Oh, it's Professor Leonardo. You

>> think so? Come on, get outside.

>> Who? Me?

>> Yes, you. I can't go out there with Jane

in here.

>> Well, why can't I stay inside and watch

and you go outside?

>> Oh, that's great. You watch the way you

did upstairs. Now, do you want that guy

to get away?

>> Yes.

>> Standing there shaking in your boots.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

>> No. Well, you should be. Go on, Bill.

This is your one chance to rehabilitate

yourself.

Wished I'd never even heard of the word.

[music]

Have your gun ready.

What good is it against what's going on

around here?

Louis B.

>> Gee, Mr. Natural.

>> Who are you talking to?

>> The woman I love. Poor little angel. Try

and speak to me.

>> She can't hear you.

[music]

>> What was you doing outside? You're

supposed to be dead. And you stay right

here, honey. I got to catch that guy in

the short.

Oh jeez. What if you don't tell me lilly

fat?

I got work to do.

>> Lily, be [music] reasonable, will you?

If you don't cooperate, I'll never get

back to central.

>> Never mind, Raymond. Take care of Lily.

Lily?

[music]

>> Yeah, that's who it was. I opened the

door and she fell right on my arms like

she had something special to tell me.

You notice that fragrance about her?

But to think this wounded flower was

once even as you and I.

>> Take her back into Dr. Van's office.

What's she doing wandering around? She's

supposed to be a corpse.

>> What happened to that guy outside?

>> Never mind.

>> You found her. I never knew she was

lost.

>> I missed her. I missed her from my

office. Can you please take her back?

What are you going to do?

>> Yes, doctor. And what have you been

doing? You've turned this house upside

down trying to find you.

>> Hardly that, young man. If you had done

that, you would have found me.

>> Now, Raymond, we can't allow that to

remain in this condition any longer.

>> But what can you do?

>> You look like a perfect sniff to me.

>> Bring him to my office.

>> Oh, doctor,

this may not be any news to you, but

your daughter-in-law has disappeared.

>> Oh, how dreadful. But let us say

somewhat overdue. Hey, Mr. Lee,

>> you don't seem very surprised to hear

about it.

>> Young man, when you've been devoutly

praying for something to happen, you

accept your good fortune without

question.

>> We thought that probably you might be

able to throw some light on the subject.

>> That's right, Raymond. Leave her there.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with

her.

>> Huh?

And you mean I've been pining away for

nothing?

>> She was put in a deep hypnotic sleep.

That's all.

>> But why? Why, Doc? Who done it?

>> It was done so that she would obey

certain orders that were transmitted to

her.

>> If that's true, then why did you declare

her dead?

>> I had my own good reasons.

>> Would you give me one reason why you

like to go around getting hit on the

head? That must become a little

monotonous.

>> Mr. Lee, are you sure that you saw what

you thought you saw?

>> I'm not blind. Think I might be getting

a little dizzy in this mad house.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> You know, doctor, morning isn't very far

off. And when the police get here,

you've got an awful lot of explaining to

do. You're in this up to your neck.

>> By morning, let us hope no explanations

will be necessary. Everything will have

explained itself.

Poor little sleeping beauty.

Do you suppose someone thought she

looked weak minded and picked her out to

carry out his commands?

>> That's not always the case, Raymond. If

Le and I were here, we could settle this

case very quickly.

>> Gentlemen,

it is my peculiar misfortune to always

be in a position where I may eve stuff.

How can I be of service, cousin Joseph?

Oh, professor.

>> Ask me no question, my friend, and I

will tell you no lies.

>> Leonite, you could undo certain mischief

that has been known this girl. I know

you can [music] help if you will. I

could, my

will not bring down the rest of the

unknown mad man who is loose about these

premises. It is a matter of

self-preservation, and I had nothing to

[music] do with hypnotizing this girl. I

have an idea that you may have already

carried out the unknown's orders and

that he no longer needs her.

Nevertheless, my dear Joseph, if you

must excuse me.

>> Just a minute, Professor.

>> I wonder what would happen, Professor.

If in connection with your sudden

reappearance here, somebody dug up the

old story of why you swindled Dr. Vanie

and then ran off and let him take the

wrap.

>> I will not be blackmailed, Mr. Lee. And

I observe again that you're a young man

who knows too much for his own good. And

I would also like to know where you

obtained all this information.

You're extremely young to have your

fingertips on events of 20 years ago. I

have a memory like an elephant. I never

forget something once I hear it. I'm a

Sharpie professor, as every one of you

will admit before morning.

>> Now, doctor, I'd like to bore you with a

few questions.

I wouldn't mind, young man, if you don't

have the slightest idea of what you were

looking for.

>> Maybe if we start back to the time

around midnight when you administered

what you call a sedative to your

daughter-in-law.

>> Are you imparting that I had anything to

do with Lord's disappearance?

>> Why do you keep evading the issue,

doctor? You know, you'll have to confess

when the police get here anyway.

>> I would remind you, young man, that

you're making a direct accusation,

and I refuse to answer.

>> Look, I want the facts and I want them

now. Well, let's cut out the Malberry

Bush routine. Listen, Bill, you're

supposed to be a cop and you want to get

back to homicide. Help me make the

doctor loosen up. He knows a lot more

than he's telling.

>> Sure, I I'll help Terry, but first,

let's get Lily Beth out of this. Maybe

she can tell us something.

>> Yes, Mr. Lee. It seems to me that you're

not too anxious to have Lily Beth

restore to consciousness.

>> What do you hear, Doc?

Heart's in a very depressed condition.

Someone's been giving her orders by

mental telepathy.

>> Hey, could I learn to do that? Supposing

Lily Breth is in the kitchen. Could I

telegraph her a wish for a cup of

coffee? Huh?

>> Perhaps, Raymond. Someday when we have a

little time, I'll indicate the

principles of hypnosis to her.

>> My dear George,

>> the principle of hypnosis isn't as

simple as you would make them believe. a

black person. You're solid.

Wake up,

>> Lily Bear. Darling,

>> keep your big hands to yourself. What

are you sapping me for?

>> Professor, put her back to sleep. It's

better that way.

>> What have you been doing to me?

>> Me? What have I been doing?

>> Yes. What have you been?

>> You got to learn me that hypnotism

trick. It's my only chance.

>> Tell me, Lily Beth, what happened?

>> Well, I I can't seem to remember it. It

all seems like a dream. Did you see?

>> Oh, do you remember a perfume? A sweet

odor.

>> Yes. Yes. Go on.

>> Cherry, darling.

Cherry, darling.

>> Yes, Jane. What is it?

>> Is it Halloween?

>> No, it isn't.

>> Then why was that green face up at the

window?

>> What?

>> Yeah, green face is like the one I saw

in Miss Vanie's room.

>> You saw a green face in Mrs. Vanie's

room?

>> Yes, darling. That's what she was

shooting at. I mentioned it to you, but

you're so scatterbrained.

>> Yes, dear. I'm scatterbrain. Does your

mind feel rested now and everything

after your nap?

>> Mhm.

>> That's a good girl. Now, come on. Tell

me what happened.

>> Oh, don't yell at me. I can tell you

just how happened. We were alone in the

room and Lara was going to sleep and

then she said, "Oh, take away the

bandage." And I said, "What bandage?"

And then she said, "Don't shoot me. I

didn't mean to do it." And then The room

got awfully black. I think somebody must

have turned off the lights.

>> Just like that.

>> Go ahead. You're doing fine.

>> Well,

>> yeah. The lights had already gone out.

>> Mhm. Got awfully dark.

>> You've already said that. Think hard

now. You saw a green mask.

>> It came out of the wardrobe.

>> Like a moth.

>> Yes, darling. Just like a moth. Oh, how

clever of you. It was just like a great

big moth and it flew around. Please

don't make yourself any dizzier than you

are. Now tell me the rest of it.

>> Well, I just don't see how you could

remember that. It was like a great big

moss. Did you see it? Was you to hide in

the wardrobe? Maybe.

>> No, I wasn't in the wardrobe. Now look,

Chain, please be yourself. No, I mean,

don't be yourself. Just relax. Relax.

>> M Lee,

just a moment. Where were you? Were you

upstairs? No, I was down here talking

with your son. And by the way, where is

he?

>> Here I am, Mr. Lee. What can I do for

you?

>> Will you stop it?

>> Yes, I was listening outside the door.

You haven't answered my father's

question yet.

>> Oh, come on. Take it easy. Take it easy.

Maybe you can tell us where you've been,

Mr. Vany. Of course, you don't know

anything about your wife's whereabouts.

>> Oh, go on. Tell him where she is. I want

to go home. I'm hungry.

[screaming]

>> QUIET, EVERYBODY. QUIET.

DON'T. NO, DON'T. DON'T.

>> LAURA, he's under a hypnotic spell.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an

exciting night, and you all are

deserving of some explanation and

relaxation for the strange goings on.

The guy who's doing the talking is

behind the wall somewhere.

>> Now you're getting smart, Sherlock.

>> We introduce at this time the team of

Lorett and Renee as they appeared at the

height of their success in the green

room of the Paris Quon.

>> Sure. The mask, the picture.

>> Ma'am Lorett.

Now I know who he is.

Men Lorett will now put a bandage over

her eyes. The better to see the inner

truth.

Very good, honey. Very good. Just like

the old pie.

>> Would any member of the audience like to

ask Mammsel a question?

>> Come, Mr. Lee. You have been so full of

questions up to now.

>> I'm thinking, brother,

>> we cannot keep Msel too long in this

delicate mental balance. She has been

under a great strain lately. Then I will

ask the questions myself. Yes, Renie.

I'm at your command.

>> Are you afraid now?

>> No, I'm quite safe.

>> Will you tell the truth?

>> Yes.

>> They came to me and said, "Your partner,

he of the magic feats and rare

impersonations is a spy, but we can't

prove it. We will give you a million

franks if you bring us that proof."

>> Now we shall know. You gave them the

proof they wanted.

Yes.

>> They took him away to be killed.

>> Yes.

>> What was he to you? This man you

betrayed. This man you sold to the enemy

for money.

>> He was my husband.

>> When they told you he was to be

executed. You sent this man a gift for

his last moment before the firing squad.

What was it?

>> It was a green scarf for his eyes.

>> Like the one you're wearing now?

>> Yes.

Why did you send it?

>> It was my scarf. I wanted him to know I

had betrayed him because I hated him.

He was good and kind.

But I hated him for the power he had

over me.

>> I see. That is your only defense. You

hate him. You thought they shot him. You

escaped to America. You thought you were

safe. Then you found out he was alive

and wanted revenge. Thank you,

Melorette.

You may remove the bandage now.

What do you see on the cloth? Manzel.

>> Has a hole in it.

>> Yes.

>> There's blood on it.

It's blood.

>> I have come back. I am here and I will

have my revenge.

>> NO. NO. DON'T TOUCH ME. [music]

[screaming]

Just a minute, lady. You ain't going

nowhere.

Well, if it ain't Mrs. Williams, come

along with me.

All right, come on. You want me to slug

you? Get inside. Hey, Terry. Terry, come

here. Get a load of this. There's your

man. At last, I caught me a murderer.

>> You're wrong. I never laid a hand on

Hey, my boy. You kept your promise to

me. You said you didn't touch her.

>> But she's dead, ain't she? And you ain't

going nowhere. till we find out what

killed her. And you, Professor, you know

too much for your own good. I'm holding

you, too.

>> Now you're getting smart, Bill.

>> Well, professor, I see you two know each

other.

>> Yes. Renee was my assistant. I taught

him everything he knows. Went up for

himself and became a success. Later, we

met in a concentration camp. Here we

are. A

>> small word, Mr. Lee. Small words indeed.

Terry, is this the place where you get

the marriage licenses?

>> No, dear. This is the morg. The morg?

>> Oh, darling, you are the cutest thing.

The Oh,

>> never mind, dear. You just stay right

here. Nobody will get you.

>> Oh,

>> well, doctor, got anything to add to my

story of the year?

>> Who's this Renee?

>> Renee was her husband. She turned him

over for a sum. Figured the Nazis would

take care of him, but he had ideas of

his own.

>> Look, Doc, was it murder? Do I finally

get a break? Was she murdered?

>> We're sending the group scared to death.
