you

I'm sorry, but London is jammed full, Miss Trent. We'll try to move you into a

better hotel before your sister arrives.

Thanks, Captain Rubens. We'd be very grateful.

When does Tony get in?

Oh, tomorrow.

She stayed in for a final fitting of our new costumes.

A fitting for both of you? Being twins has its advantages.

Your first show will be for our air personnel here in London.

I expect you'd like to see your billing.

It's fine.

Good. Now about rehearsals. Do you mind? Could we go into all that in the

morning? I'm beat.

Of course.

Good night, Miss Trent. Good night, Captain Rubens.

This is the desk manager here. What can I do for you? A man's been shot. Call

the police.

What did you say?

In the room, right across from my window. A man just walked in and shot

him.

Don't leave your room, Miss Trent.

Lock your door.

But the police.

I'll call them right away.

Andreas!

All right?

No, Andreas.

It is not all right.

You were seen.

What did you say?

An American girl in room 10. She saw you do the killing.

It's not possible.

She's just been on the phone. She told me.

She recognized me again. Well, how do I know? Come on, find out.

Hello? Oh, Miss Trent. I am speaking with the police now.

They would like to know if you would recognize the assassin.

Of course I would. I'd know him anywhere.

Hey, hey.

Ask her to give some details.

Could you describe him?

Yes.

He was dark, high cheekbones, and there was a curious scar on his left cheek.

Well, General, thanks for the help.

That equipment was exactly what we wanted.

You're always welcome to it, Brady. You know that.

Well, I wish it weren't always one way.

Anytime I can do anything to help you... Forget it. Just give me a call, huh?

Just a minute, lady. You can't go in there.

Sorry, but it's terribly important.

General Stockport?

That's right.

This is urgent.

I'm Tony Trent.

Yes, I recognize you. This is Mr. Peter Brady.

Invisible man.

Hello. Miss Trent is one half of the Trent twins.

They're over here on a USO tour, entertaining our forces in England.

That's right.

I flew in from New York yesterday.

My sister Terry came in the day ahead of me. I don't quite see what this has to

do with me.

General, Terry has vanished.

Well, she's here on service business. I feel the services should look after her.

Well, certainly, Miss Trent, if there's anything wrong.

She wasn't at the airport to meet me. She wasn't at rehearsal. She checked out

of the hotel, leaving no word.

You both have friends here, Miss Trent. It is possible that she's visiting one

of them.

General, I know my own sister. We're twins, identical twins. Terry would

never walk out on me that way.

Something's happened to her, I'm certain of it. And I'm sure it happened in that

terrible hotel.

Excuse me for interrupting this, Trent, but why do you say that?

Well, I phoned the hotel she stayed at, and the manager seemed a very evasive

character to me.

Well, this may be a situation in which you can be of some help, Brady.

There may be a logical explanation to all this, in which case there's no point

in calling in the police.

On the other hand, we've got to find out what happened.

And it is possible that her sister may be in some danger.

Yeah.

Tell me, did you speak to the manager in person?

No, I phoned.

So they haven't seen you? No.

And you and Terry are identical?

Well, you couldn't tell us apart.

Right.

If there's anything wrong with that hotel, General, we'll soon know it.

I suggest that Miss Trent and I go there together, and I go invisible.

Well, that's very kind of you, Brady.

Come on, let's go.

Give me a minute, then follow me in.

You know what I say? Mm-hmm. Good.

Oh, have you got four pennies?

I'm gonna need them. They use a telephone.

Hotel Mediterranean?

Miss Trent, please.

Miss Trent has left us?

No, she's back in the hotel again.

No, she left us yesterday morning.

We have not seen her since.

Now look, she left me only an hour ago. She said she was going right round to

your place.

She should be round there now.

Oh, there must be some mistake.

No, there's no mistake.

I'll call again.

She'll be around any minute.

But... Hello?

Hello?

What do you want? Hello. Back again.

A room, please.

I'd like the same one that I had before.

The same room?

Oh, yes.

Yes, Miss Trent.

Number 10 is free.

Show Miss Trent to number 10, please.

Gino.

I won't let her leave the hotel until I get back.

Natalie, look after the desk, please.

I know.

you

Give first secretary, please.

But Mr. Star Wars, you should not have come here.

I had to see you.

You're stupid, Star Wars.

You had no right to come here.

We do not wish to be connected with that murder at your hotel.

But you are connected with it, Mr. Secretary.

You and your legation.

Please.

What have you come here about?

I thought you were supposed to be taking care of the American girl.

That is so.

Then a fine mess you've made of it.

She's just walked into my hotel.

You are mistaken. You must be.

There's no mistake.

Did you bring the police with her?

No, she was quite alone.

It's impossible.

Anyway, why did you want to come back?

What did this woman want?

She wanted to stay at my hotel.

We will soon find out.

Hello, hello.

Ah, there's no hurry.

She won't get away.

Gino is looking after her.

Give me Gravesend 7599.

Mr. Secretary, I would like you to know that I only gave my help out of loyalty

to our country.

There was also a little matter, I believe, of 500 pounds.

Well, 500 pounds and loyalty to our country.

Unless you protect me, I shall have to protect myself.

If you are thinking of going to the police, Mr. Starboss, I would not advise

it. Then do something about this girl.

Get rid of her.

She's a dangerous witness.

Get rid of her.

We are diplomatic servants, Mr. Stavros, not killers.

You've already killed one person in my hotel.

Why not another?

The colonel was a traitor.

He had been condemned to death in our country.

The sentence of execution had to be carried out.

May I speak to Mr. Andreas, please?

Hello, is that you, Andreas?

This is the first secretary speaking.

Our friend from the hotel is here.

He tells me that the girl has gone back to his place.

Can this be true?

I thought not.

Yes, you're right.

Nerves can sometimes play funny tricks.

But don't worry.

We will keep our eye on him.

You are mistaken, Mr. Stavros.

Miss Trent is with our friend many miles from here.

She's in room 10 at my hotel.

You are not well, Mr. Stavros.

All this has been too much for you.

In your present state, you may prove to be a danger for us.

You must give up your job and go back to our country.

Thank you, but I am not leaving London.

All my money is in the hotel.

You are going back to our country.

That is an order. The girl is in the hotel.

I will bring her here and prove it.

Come back, Stavros.

Taxi! Hey, taxi!

Taxi!

Hey taxi!

Who is it?

The manager.

Come in.

Miss Trent, you are coming with me now.

What is this? What do you mean?

Don't argue.

Drop that gun.

Where's my sister? What have you done to my sister? If you've hurt her, I'll...

Your sister?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Listen, Miss Trent, this man can't help you. But I think I know who can.

Number, please.

Hello, operator?

Get me Gravesend 7599.

I... I'm losing my reason.

London Apprentice Hotel here.

Hello. Did you say the London Apprentice Hotel?

That's right.

Is Andreas there?

Andreas? He doesn't live here.

Calls in sometimes.

Do you expect him in this morning?

Oh, he might be back around 1.

I'll call again.

Okay, Miss Trent.

We'll hand our friend over to the police.

And then we have an appointment to keep in Gravesend.

Well, here's the London Apprentice Hotel.

Do you think Terry will be in there?

Perhaps. I don't know.

First I must find this man, Andreas.

He'll lead us to her.

How will you know him?

In just two and a half minutes from now, General Stockport will be putting

through a phone call to the hotel.

He will ask for Andreas.

I'll be there, and I'll see who takes it.

Then we'll keep right on his tail.

Now sit tight.

I'm going in.

Two bites, please.

London Apprentice Hotel.

Who's that?

I want to speak to Andreas.

Another call for Andreas.

Anyone seen him? Somebody want Andreas?

Call for him.

He's just pulling into the jetty now.

Hang on a moment.

Hello, this is Andreas.

Hello, who is it?

Hello.

Who was that?

He didn't say.

Sounded like an American.

He's in there now.

No, I've seen him. That's his boat.

That could mean she's over on the island.

Listen, Tony, we don't know how long he's going to be in there, but when he

comes out, he's got to mistake you for your sister.

You must make him think she's escaped.

How do we do that?

You see the rowing boat down there?

Get into it.

Row out into the river.

When you see Andreas come out of the pub, row hard for the shore.

You'll have to look distracted.

Am I by myself?

Don't worry.

With any luck, he'll force you into his boat and take you straight to your

sister. I'll be with you. But first I'm going to phone General Stockport. We may

need help.

Have you got any pennies?

What do you find to do across there all day?

Pretty bleak, isn't it?

You must be lonely.

I have a charming lady with me.

All right, Freddie, what do you suggest we do now?

They must have the other sister hidden somewhere on the island.

Get the police here quickly.

I've got to go now, General.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm warning you, don't try to get away again.

Peter! Peter!

Where is Peter?

Oh no!

Come on, get going.

How did she get out?

You tell me that. You're supposed to keep watch. Take her inside.

Come on.

This time you won't get away.

Terry!

Andreas!

Oh, Tony, darling.

Am I glad to see you.

What have they done to you?

I'm all right.

What's happened?

I walked into a situation I know too much.

The job's done, isn't it? We want to get away, don't we? Those two girls could

mean a lot of trouble for us.

You're right.

We'll dump them where we dumped the colonel.

They won't be found.

Okay.

You do it, then. You must help.

Go in and talk to them.

I will do the rest.

Well, young ladies, since we are going to be together for some time, we must be

friends.

Don't scowl!

Come along, let's have a drink together.

Tell me, which one of you is Terry?

So you're angry, eh?

I don't blame you.

Don't worry.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Terry! Look out! He's got a gun!

That's for you.

Come on, get on your feet.

Right, you two.

Get up.

Come on, get moving.

Don't worry, darling, you're not seeing things. It's Peter Brady, the invisible

man. Outside.

Now get your hands up.

Keep moving. Get on board.

Don't try anything, neither of you.

Great show, girls.

Thanks to you, Mr. Brady.

There's nothing. Oh, no, no.

Tony's quite right.

Or is it Terry?

Well, General, let's just say that I was repaying a debt, huh?

Ooh.
