you

The bank, yes. That vault up topin' like a muffin. And the police? They were too fast

for me to get clear away, so they proceeded with the other plan. It's all right. Come

on, get away.

She's in and out of here before you know it.

I know, I I've had a report. Join the cordon, officer. I'm Nielsen of the yard. This is

Inspector Dedennis. taking charge. Well, you're a bit late. The bandits gone. Got away with

ten thousand pounds of the bank's money. Well, he can't get far. Speed plan completed? Yes,

sir. One minute after the alarm, our cars establish a cordon around the entire district. Good.

Our man must be inside that line. The net will close at the rate of one square an hour.

Our fish can't possibly wriggle out of it. But suppose Mr. Varrows finds you? He'll know

you're not one of his men. I'll say I'm taking... your place because you're ill. But suppose

the police come here. What if they do? I'm ready for them. Mr. Armadiz, it's an education

to work with a man like you.

And how long is that? Three days, sweetheart. Well, you don't forget it, because if you

do... Oh, Phyllis, wouldn't marry that flight Aldegate, would you? You. I want to marry you

more than anything else in the world. I knew you were any fluffing about Aldegate. But I

promise to marry Mr. Aldegate on the 11th. If you don't take me on the 10th, it's your last

chance, Hugh Drummond. So help me. It's the only chance I'll ever need, huh? What are

you two after? Cheap suicide?

What's the plan? First, we'll and see what the decorators are doing. That's Nielsen's

car. Well, what if it is? Didn't you see him wave at me? He needs me. He'd never forgive

me if I left him in the lurch. I'll be back in a jiffy. In half a jiffy.

Fishy, fishy in the brook, pop a catching with a hook. How's fishing, Inspector? Don't call

me Inspector. Oh, how did you get here? Well, Colonel, was having a little look-see at my

new flap, and what did I hear but police cars? Yo, isn't a bank robbery on my hands enough

without having you in my hair and under my feet and between my teeth? Well, now, Colonel, after

all I've done for Scotland Yard. After all you've done? Look here, What's that? Army? Well,

that's a new one, but we won't discuss that now. Go home, you young scamp. Please, go

home. Go and marry that lovely girl of yours, and don't please come middling in my affairs.

Why, Colonel, I wouldn't bother with a simple bank robbery because... Well, because what?

Well, because it might just possibly be a case. Just possibly, mind you, a case that you could

solve for yourself. Thank you. That's all right. Good luck, Inspector. You'll need it.

The entrance hall looks very nice, Mr. Barrow. Oh, but, madam, wait till you see the drawing

room. Such a soft, cream color. Everything in the modern mode, madam. Yes, yes.

Do you see what I see?

What's the meaning of this? You'll pay for this, my man. I don't remember you. Ah, but

you will. The world will remember me as a man who had courage. Courage to rebel against

the everlasting monotony of white walls. Dead, dull walls. A man can only go on painting

white walls for so long. And then, psst, something snaps. Closer. Come closer. You see what I'm

doing? I express the human form divine, not in the vulgar terms of flesh and skin and hair,

but as kitchenware. Notice how a cooking pot represents the essence of a living human face.

More than a heart is dead. This is the art of tomorrow. Kitchenware. That's the secret.

A pot for a face, a skillet for a body, knives for fingers. Hello, it's... Robloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblo

I say, it's Phyllis, I mean Miss Clavering about. I am Algy Longworth, and she promised to meet

me here. I'm very happy to meet you, Mr. Longworth. Miss Clavering, is she the pretty girl with

the green hair and the purple face? Yes. What? She was here. She went away. They all go away!

They will look at my painting. Ah, but you... You are a smart man. You can appreciate real

art when you see it. Look, isn't she beautiful? Notice the curves of the face. By all means.

Do like it? Do really like it? Terrific. You're not just saying that. No, no, no. If you forgive

me, I'll leaving. You don't like my I should have known that a man would wear that tie with

that suit would have no color sense at all. Look at yourself in the mirror.

Now I'll you in the middle.

Not enough! Get your stuff in the mirror. Masterpiece! Oh, so you're still against me,

you half-hold dealers, eh?

Thanks.

He's telling me he's mad!

Yes, Doctor. Main case of weird poisoning. Painters, occupational disease, mania, delusions,

followed by spasms and coma. And then? They usually come out of it in time. It's a good

thing you nabbed him before he did any real damage. What do mean before he did any real

damage? What happened here? One of the painters went barmy,

Oh, my sacred aunt might have known it. If there's trouble happening anywhere, you'll be there.

I'm sorry, No, you're not sorry. You're only sorry when you miss something. Well, you're

going to miss something now. Get out. But you can't throw me out, Oh, really? Why not? Because

this is my flat. Our flat, darling. Yes, our flat, Colonel. Did you catch the bank robber?

Bank robber? Hugh Wazir... Ask the Colonel. No, we haven't got him yet, but he can't possibly

get through our lines. Every house in the whole area will be searched. We'll have him before

nightfall. How much did he get from the bank? About 10,000 pounds. Maybe I can... You're

coming with me, Hugh Drummond. You want me miss my train? Are you going to France today?

Yes, joining Aunt Blanche. Will you do me a favor? Take him with you. He'll be over for

the wedding on the 10th. I hope you're coming. If your perfect assent is going to take place,

I wouldn't miss it. If he fails me this time, I'm going to marry Mr. Aldegard. Serve him

right if he did. Wouldn't it just? Come on, Hugh. Oh, just a moment. You'll need a pass

to go through the lines. I'm afraid you can't get through without one. There she goes. How

long has this painter been in your employ, Mr. Barrows? I'm not quite sure. Some time, I

believe. Have you ever noticed anything unusual about his conduct? No, no, I can't say I have.

If there's anything I can do for him, Inspector, I'll be very glad to oblige if you'll let me

know where he is. I'm sure he'll be grateful. Thank you, Mr. Barrows. You'd better have

one too, Phyllis. There you are, my dear. Thank you.

A sad case, Captain Dorman, very sad. I assure you every trace of his ridiculous work will

be removed. Thank you, Mr. Barrowes. Good day, Captain. day. Oh, here, wait! Don't leave me

like this! You!

Not but he can't get away! you

Everybody must be inspected. All right. Pardon me, sir, but I've had orders to stop all cars

from leaving this area. There's been a bit of a bank robbery, No. Ah, Uzi! Oh, but in your

case, I know it's just a bit of formality, but I've had orders to stop everybody, absolutely

everybody. I'm sorry, sir, but this pass is just for the young lady. Would you mind waiting

here a few moments, Captain Drummond?

Tanny? Ah, catch. Pick us up. I presume you've got Miss Phyllis to the train on time, But

just, Tanny. And would you believe it, the last minute she didn't want to go, she didn't think

I was fit to be trusted alone in London. What's matter, Tanny? Nothing, sir. I love the spring

because spring loves me. I forgot to tell you, we have a visitor. Yes, Mr. Longworth. Precisely,

sir. War paint and all? No, sir. I lent him one of my suits, Why, Tenny, I didn't know

you had another suit. Oh, for special occasions, sir, a new gray one. I see.

till it blins.

Alzie! Here, old boy. Oh, what a day, what a day. Little did I know, little did I dream

when I popped in on your new flat. Keep the stiff up a little, old boy, because we're popping

right back there. Anything you say, old boy, but... What? Yeah, it's from Phyllis. Please

go to new flat, get portable radio set and send Air Express and make sure you aren't getting

into more trouble. Yours until the tenth. Love, Phyllis. I don't see why we have to go. Why

can't Tenny go? I beg your pardon, I should be very happy to attend to the matter. This

chap barrows us up to something. It sticks out like a sore thumb. And this is good excuse

to have another look at him. But you know, I was on my way home, really. Now, nonsense,

Alty. Don't worry about that painter. He's safe under lock and key. Tenny, my hat. Oh,

dear, dear, dear, dear.

Well? Not a trace, sir. Absolutely nothing. No, but hang it, old man. He couldn't get away.

We've tried everything, sir. The basements, attics, even the housetops. I can't see how

any criminal could get through a cordon like that with his loot hunters on. Well, he's a

smart one, and that's a fact. Yeah. Home Secretary's just had me on the phone. The usual thing,

questions, questions. Tomorrow the press will be doing the same thing. Have we any clues?

When may we expect an arrest? What are the police supposed to do? I don't quite know, sir. Neither

do I. I wonder what young drummer would do. I beg pardon. Am sending? I don't think so,

All right, then.

Bring some clothes? Sure, in the car. Come on, not so fast. You don't want to get anywhere

in this business, must learn not to leave anything behind. Well, you left the money. Safely hidden,

my boy. When the police go... They've gone already. All wrong. Good. Come on. Any news? I thought

you should know, sir, that painter who went mad, he escaped from the hospital. Oh, he's

probably gone straight back to his own home. We thought he'd do that, sir, but you see,

he gave a false address. He what? He gave a false address in Peckham. They've never heard

of him out there. But Dennis, I'm beginning to see daylight. Oh, what a fool I've been.

What is it? Why, that painter. Why couldn't he be the very man we're looking for? Right

out from under our very noses. But the manager, what's his name? Barrows. Yes, I think I'll

go and have a talk with Mr. Barrows. When I get through with him, I think we'll know a

little more about our bank robber.

The himself. Recovered quickly, didn't you? As a matter of fact, I was expecting you,

but not quite so soon. Is this where you hid it? In the radio? I don't know what you're

talking about. Oh, yes you do, Mr. Bank Robber. No tricks? Well, why don't you call the police?

Why? Oh, we really don't need them, do we? Let me see now. 10,000 pounds, wasn't it?

Or didn't you have time to count it? I see. A split, You couldn't stop me if I took all

of it. But I'll be generous. Fifty-fifty, agreed? You're a smart man, Mr. Burrows. Oh,

you're pretty smart yourself. You know it takes brains to do what you did today. You better

turn off that light. The police know this flat's not occupied.

There was no blowout, Alcy. That was a shot inside somewhere. Come on, we're going in.

Stay here, Tenny. Very good, sir. Something's up, Belsey. Come on.

Help yourself.

Where's the flashlight? I thought you had it, Hugh. Must be a light switch around here somewhere.

Nothing here, Hugh.

All right, old boy.

gone, hasn't he? Yes, Halsey. Captain, the German's... In here, Tenny. Tenny, did you

see a man escaping? Yes, Well, why didn't you do something? Because he did it first, Well,

you're not the only one, Tenny. Halsey, do suppose he could have fired that shot we heard?

What would he be firing at? There was nobody here. Well, let's have a look. Do you think

he's coming back? Halsey? Be sure you tie his ankles this time. you

Yes,

I'm afraid we've made a mistake. Yes, Alzie's right, Colonel. You see, we... We thought you

were somebody else. And natural mistakes are under the circumstances. You see, Colonel,

we didn't expect you. We... They didn't expect me. What kind of did you expect? We weren't

sure. We heard a gunshot. No, we thought we heard a gunshot, but was a backfire. I see.

it backfire. Colonel Fillis asked me to come up here and get a radio set. Here it is, old

boy. A invention, the radio. Great for shut-ins. I'd like to you shut in for six months. Now,

Colonel. Pardon me, sir. Your hat, sir.

Yes, Colonel. What's this about a shot? Shot? Oh, nothing, nothing. Something we heard,

a tire blowing perhaps. You know, sounds at night you can't... Yes, yes, yes, yes, but

you rushed up here thinking you heard a shot, didn't you? Well, yes. And when you got here,

you found everything quiet and peaceful. Perfectly quiet, Yeah. Then what in the name of my sainted

Aunt Harriet is that? Barrow's the manager. Hill, that car you heard fires bullets through

the heart.

Bonjour mon amour.

Here's radio for Miss Phyllis Claverie. Merci, facteur. À bientôt, Thérèse.

Find Emmanuel Hill? That's right, Colonel, but if he's here, I will. I know, I know.

You think the bank robber, the painter and your burg are all one and the same man. That's

how they died last night. There's no offender. He's quite capable of committing both robbery

and murder. His is Henry Armadiz. He's a dangerous customer. I'm sorry, Inspector. I don't recognize

him. Well, you couldn't have had more than a glimpse of the man in your flat last night.

You probably wouldn't recognize his picture. Why, positive, Colonel. His ugly mug was within

an inch of my nose. Well, since you didn't see the painter, except with his face completely

covered, we can't be sure they were the same even now. Colonel, the people at the hospital

said that a man with lead poisoning couldn't get up for a week. And yet the painter was

able to escape. And he wasn't suffering from lead poisoning. They couldn't have been right

in both cases, now could they? No, they couldn't, Colonel, but... Now, now, now, we've given

your theory a fair trial, and we've nothing left to go on. will you... Will you please

go home, Please go home. I've got work to do. Good luck, Inspector. Well, it's not in the

bedroom, so it must be in here. Suppose Drummond comes home. We'll take care of him if he does.

How could he hide a radio in there? The money could have been taken out of the radio, my

friend, and tacked to the bottom of the drawer. If Drummond found the money, wouldn't he turn

his into the police? Drummond's not such a fool. He likes money as well as we do. The

main thing to remember in searching a room is that the unlikely places are the likeliest.

When I was serving my apprenticeship as you are now, I was sent to find a letter. A very

important letter. I failed because I didn't realize it could have been pinned into the

draperies. Maybe he carries it with him.

Tarjimont, France. Darling, thanks for sending radio. Don't wait until the 10th. What are

you going to do? Go to Tajemont, of course.

Wait! Are you leaving that message for Drummond to read? No, I'll tear it up, of course.

Another thing. Captain Drummond must not go to Taj Mahon today or under 10. He might be

trouble for us there. How can we stop him? Watch. On the desk, there's some fishing line.

Get it?

observe, my friend, that this is trained under door through which Drummond will enter. Yes,

but I see. When Drummond opens the door, bingo. But suppose he gets the wrong person? Another

shooting in a Drummond flat will interest the police, I imagine. Captain Drummond will be

so busy experimenting he couldn't give us much trouble for several days. Crime and... What's

that? Blake has the fingerprints. Good. Send him in. To Dennis we're in luck. They've got

fingerprints from the bank. Here are the fingerprints found in the London and South Minster banks,

Fingerprints from the bank, Definitely. These prints were taken with the handle of the paintbrush

in Captain Drummond's flat. They're the same. Then Drummond was right. The bandit did hide

it in his flat. Good work, No, it's not all, sir. Look at these. Where'd you get these things?

From our files. They're the prints of Henry Armadiz. They're the same as these others.

Look, line for line. That's right. That's all, Blake. Drummond was right. He's been right

all the time. Don't forget that you had that idea first, sir. I know that, only I hadn't

sensed enough to stick to it. Get me a picture of Armitage from our files. I want Drummond

to identify it. We only have one of the beard, and Drummond actually looked at that. Well,

then paint the beard out, man. He'll recognize it quickly, huh, Finn? I'll have him here in

half an hour. Good.

After you, Wellesley.

Lights to me. Do you think that was meant for a joke? Joke, Alzie. If you'd been named a

few inches lower, it'd be no joke. Somebody's been here and deliberately ran and sacked the

place with a fine tooth comb. Why, Tenny? First the new flat and now this. Who is he? What

does he want? I don't know, Let see that. Tenny, have we got any cables recently? No,

Perhaps he blew in through the window. Oh, nonsense. Alzie, the window's closed.

What's the matter, old boy? Did you lose something? Looks like it, Algy. Perhaps they tone up the

message, but they were too smart for that. Might be from Phyllis. Do you think, sir,

that a cable of ours has been intercepted by the enemy? Right, Then may I suggest that we

call up the telegraph office and have the message repeated? Brilliant idea, Tenning. I rather

like it,

Be careful, Algy. Hello. I want to repeat on a message. wasn't quite clear. Yes, name's

Drummond. Hugh C. Drummond, number nine, Chesty Mansions. That's right. Yes, go ahead. Thank

you. It's from Phyllis, thanking me the radio. It's good that it wasn't important. But it

was important, Algy. Tenny! Get my bags, I'm leaving town. What did you find out? Everything

checks. The bank robber, the mad painter. That's where he hid the money in the radio. I sent

it Phyllis. Where are we going? We? All the way, old boy. To Tajmo. I've got to get there

before the enemy. We've just got time to catch the boat train. It's too slow, Tenny. We wouldn't

get there till tomorrow night. I'm going by air. The three of us, Why three? All for one

and one for all, sirs the singles. Very apt, I'd rather like it, sir. I see trouble approaching,

Hello, Inspector. Afraid I can't stop to entertain you just now. That's all right, Captain

Drummond. I'm going to entertain you. Not arrested again? No, not exactly. We want you to look

at some photographs. Oh, delighted old chap. Tomorrow or the day after, not today. You're

coming to the yard, Captain Drummond. Colonel Nielsen's orders. I was going to take a plane.

I'm sorry. Do you mind taking my call? It's quicker than the underground. Not at all. You

don't drive too fast. What did he say, sir? That is Pig Latin, Teddy. He said, stick with

me. Oh. you

What's the matter? Is the tank empty? Oh, there's plenty. Well, Tony, did you get that new battery?

Yes, Oh, yay, I lay any day. No, sir. Get out and give us a push, will you? Well, come

along. you going to give us a hand? Would you mind, Inspector? You know, one more shoulder

to the wheel. No, very well.

He put one over on you, old boy. Here he be, over Clay, uh, Ursaid. Disguised, Inspector?

Certainly not, and never mind how I look. Take a cable. Chief of Police, Cargement, France.

I'll give that Captain Drummond a joke from this office and see how he likes it. You ready?

Yes, sir. Please hold young Englishmen arriving tonight. About five feet, 11 inches tall.

170 pounds weight, small mustache. We believe him to be George Boyd, alias Henry Jones, a

notorious international spy. This man will undoubtedly claim to be Hugh Drummond. If

you apprehend him, notify Scotland Guard immediately and hold the criminal until further instructions

from us. Regards. Give that the department signature. That brought a hold, Captain Drummond,

for a while.

Is that the house? Yes, but careful now. Why, it doesn't look so for me. Don't be too sure.

The clevering girl would surely recognize me or I'd do it myself. Oh, I'll fool them all

right. Yeah. Just in case you don't, you better take this. Now, first, I'll say to them...

This man says he's a customs inspector. Something about the radio. Voulez-vous expliquer...

...ce que... ...vous désirez, A thousand pardons. But it is my duty, madame. Oh, you speak English.

Oui, oui, madame. That is why I am sent. Well, now, what's this about the radio? She has

not been paid for. The duty. I'm confiscated. Oh, stop the nonsense. How dare you come here

at this time of night, respectable people? Be guilty. She has not been paid for. Oh, that's

utterly ridiculous. Now, if there's been any mistake, it's not our fault. Tell me the amount

and end this nonsense. Impossible. You know, you don't look like a Frenchman to me. You

look more like an Englishman. A very low class Englishman. I don't believe he understands

half we say. Therese! Therese! Therese, will you please talk to this man? He says he's from

the customs.

This man is an imposter. I knew it. He cannot even speak French. He's a thief. Trying to

steal the radio. Shut up! Get back against the wall there. All of you. I call for help. Then

you'll be dead. Shut up, you! Try back. back. Try back. you'll get it. Oui. Oui. Oui.

Oui. Oui. Oui. Oui. Oui. Oui. Oui. Gaston is a very old friend of mine, madame. Sometimes

he drops in for a little glass of wine.

Driver, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry to get to Targimalf. But this is Targimalf. We

can go no further. The street, monsieur. Oh, I see. Will you take my bags?

evening, Excuse me. Listen, You will answer questions, please. Who are you and why have

you come here? My name is Hugh Drummond and I'm a pretty subject. don't see why I should

tell you anything. George Boyd, Elias Henry Jones. You will have to come with us. George

who? We have a cave wanting us to look out for you, sir. But what for? Games up, There's

a large reward for the capture of spies. They're not alive. Yes, dead or alive. Look here, this

is all nonsense. I want to the chief of police. I am the chief of police, Monsieur. Then I

demand to see the mayor. I am also the mayor. Look here, my name is Hugh Drummond and I'm

not a spy. Now, fuel cable Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard while he'll vouch for me.

There will be no need for further talking. Take Monsieur by the way and see that he has

accommodations worthy of such an honorate guest.

Bye.

He goes in, you come out. This way, Mr. Please. How you doing, Mike? Well, nicely, thank you.

That's the ticket. Keep your chin up. Right. And don't talk. No matter what they do to you,

mate, they kept after me for hours. But I didn't talk. Who said? Another Englishman like you,

but a much greater rascal. George Boyd. International spy. He's wanted in every city in Europe. And

they say there is a hundred thousand francs reward for him. Dead or alive. The great George

Floyd. How about getting a little beauty sleep, dear? Oh, I think I'll read it a while longer.

Interesting book? Yes, very. Couldn't be the late news broadcast from London you're

sitting up for, could it? I'm not worrying about Hugh. If he gets himself into trouble,

he'll have to get himself out. Oh, Auntie. Why hasn't he answered my cable asking him

to come today instead of tomorrow? You said it yesterday. He's probably in Zanzibar by

now, chasing some will-o'-the-wisp. Monsieur, you'll have to double up. We only have one

cell.

You sit there, Mr. Boyd. Boyd? Oh, yes, of course, Boyd. Sure. I know all about you.

Word goes around, you know. I'd be a pretty green one not to have heard about you and the

big jobs you've pulled. A person like you, at the top of the profession. Could teach

a fellow like me a lot of tricks? You think so? Oh, I know how it is. You think I'm not

worth bothering about. Well, maybe I'm not Mr. Boyd, but the man I'm with, he's a big shot.

Even you'd know his name if I told you. Yes, I imagine so. He won't let me stay in this

rot no long. He needs me on a little job we're going to do, just like the one we did in London

three days ago. When did you come to Tajmo? Yesterday. We'd be on our way back now. Only

I had some bad luck. We'll do the job properly this time.

Good morning, Morning. What are you so cheerful about? Have you caught him, it is? No, sir,

not yet. But he has a cable ram from the French police. They hold a suspect in Tajmo. holding

George Boyd alias Henry Jones, claims name is Hugh Drummond. Please advise immediately how

much reward you offer and when you will arrive to extradite him. I thought you'd see the

joke on Drummond giving me the slip and then getting nabbed. The joke's on you, pray. Imagine

anybody offering a reward for Drummond. Now, if they'd offer a reward to...

must be the house. Looks sort of drum and desk, don't you think, Tenny? If you say so, sir.

Can you see two chimneys, old boy? No, sir. Don't you think it would be better, if we

asked with the door? Perhaps you're right.

I hope we find the radio before Hugh gets here. He'll have no heart for the marriage if it's

gone. For Miss Phyllis' sake, sir, we'd better not say a word about Captain Drummond being

in jail. You can trust me, Tenny. I hope so, sir.

Remember, sir, not a word about Captain Grummond. Oh, not a word. I'm Blanche. It's Hugh.

What a trip.

Where is Captain Drummond? He won't be long. Don't worry. He'll here soon. Colonel Nielsen

will be in no time. Of course, it's unexpected. But won't cause any delay. When you've removed

your foot... I beg your pardon. Would you mind telling me what Colonel Nielsen is getting

him out of? Jail, if know Hugh Drummond. How did you guess? Is Captain Drummond in jail?

You see... There has been a little misunderstanding, miss. Just a temporary guest. Nothing serious.

Bravo. Hugh Drummond adds another jail to his collection. Poor Hugh. He needs me. Well,

where are you going? To the jail. Oh, Phyllis, I forgot. The radio. Where is it? Aunt Blatt,

the radio. The one that came from London. Where is it? Oh, that? It is gone. Gone? Yes, my

guest took it to the jail. Did they take everything to the jail? He'll fix him. Fix it? Fix it?

Oh, he's probably got it all apart, operating on it. We'll go, We may have time, These English...

You tell me there is nothing really criminal about this young man, this Captain Drummond?

Nothing, Monsieur. In fact, he's been of considerable assistance to Scotland Yard in many cases.

Then why? Because I want to teach him a lesson, in behalf of a beautiful young lady who expects

to marry him. Ah. A lady? Here, Monsieur. Here in your most beautiful village. She hopes to

marry him tonight. It is not too cruel, this lesson of yours, to ask me to keep the bride

groom in jail while the young lady waits, perhaps weeping. That's just the point, Monsieur.

Many a time, he's kept her waiting, Weeping and waiting. Even at the church. The monster!

Two monsters, Monsieur! Bless you. Why? Should he see a crime committed? Maybe in the

last moment, he'll forget all about his fiancee, Monsieur Gohchasegob, after criminal. And

it is to prevent such a thing this time that you ask me to keep him a prisoner. You said

it. This time, assure you, as Mayor of Targimon, I will see that the beautiful lady is not

disappointed. This heartless Captain Drummond will be forced to keep his vows. I, Jean-Philippe

Louis Napoléon Dupré, Mayor of Targimon, I will see that they marry. Splendid, Monsieur le

Mayor. It will be an honor for both. Phyllis! Where's Hugh? He's perfectly safe, my dear.

The mayor has promised to see that you're married. Ah, mademoiselle, you have come for Captain

Drummond. He's here in Targimon's impregnable jail. Believe me, Seth, for you. Never again

shall mademoiselle weep for her thronged lover. You shall be married here at once. Here in

jail? It's the only way you'll ever get him. I'm afraid she's right, my dear. There will

be no failure this time. He is my prisoner. I release him only when he is your prisoner.

for life, this gentleman will act as witness. Attention, the court civil, summon the clock

of the court, order a guard of honor.

Look, there's been a mistake. I've got to of here. You'll pay for this, all of you. Don't

take it so hard, Mr. Boyd. Look what's here. Didn't I tell you Mr. Armages wouldn't forget

me? Thank you. It's a pleasure to share with you, Mr. Boyd.

Oh, excuse me.

News from home? News? Not from us.

Mr. Armand says you should all swallow messages. Oh, yes, I believe it's the accepted practice

you can directly explode in outward. Yes, sir. We must not keep the lady waiting. Is the

guard ready? We are ready. Let us go. This is a great day for Targeon.

Let us go to the prisoner.

almost believe he meant it. Strike my rear end's heart, monsieur. I will. Attention. Captain

Drummond, cannot escape again. My men surround you. You are to be married here now, this instant.

Gladly, Monsieur, but first... There's no first, Monsieur. You cannot desert this beautiful

young lady again. For shame, Monsieur, to even think of it. Yes, you're perfectly right, Monsieur.

I'd be a fiend. But first, there's a radio of such importance that even... I didn't order

you, don't you worry. That's quite all right. We are told, the radio is quite safe here in

the jail. What on earth are you talking about? Phyllis, is that right? That radio I sent you

In the name of the law. Never mind that now. Order your men to find armadiers. The service

In the name of the law, I declare UC Dremond and Phyllis Clevering bound by marriage. Hooray,

hooray, hooray! Kenny, they've done it at last. Thank you, Colonel. May I remind you, Oh,

yes. What's that thing? End of the trail, Colonel. Heavens! The Londoner's help must have backmined
