Talk to the kid.

Well, what are you waiting for you?

Listen Flunky never disturb a regular soldier when he's in conference speed it

up Look what's given on it?

Okay shrimp, let's see if you've really built for speed.

I'll tell the captain sent a real man next time.

Let's go.

Hey Looking for something Yes, you In there this is no time to be funny Sorry,

so I couldn't help that one.

Look at you my dad's can I help you find it?

You better find it You're under suspicion Say maybe you'd better tell me what

this is all about Lieutenant.

What do you want?

I'm reporting sir Delivering corporal Greg Carroll to the captain what delayed

you he ran ahead of me,

sir Wait outside Come into the captain Oh great Carol Carol,

have you ever opened this private safe?

No, sir.

You know how to open it?

Oh, yes, sir.

Just where did you learn that?

Well, for one thing, I have good ears, sir.

Oh, I suppose you heard the tumblers drop.

Well, I don't mean that, Captain, but you see, sir,

you mumble when you open the safe.

18 to the right.

Never mind the imitation.

Maybe you can tell us how a secret document was taken from that safe.

Oh, you mean the paper that was in that folder?

Yes, that's exactly what I do mean.

Why did you take it out of that safe?

Well, I didn't, sir.

You left it on the desk, and I just filed it away for safekeeping.

It's my job.

You get that back right away.

Yes, sir.

Just a second, Carol.

I'd like to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

How could you file it properly without reading it?

Even if you read it, you wouldn't understand it.

But I did know what it was.

There were four names on it.

Men working on secret inventions.

Keep quiet, Carol.

That's something not even the lieutenant should know.

Captain, I knew it because my brother's name is on the list.

He's a professor.

They took him out of technical school to work on this invention.

It's a secret explosive.

Well, I didn't know that myself.

Bring me the file.

Yes, sir.

Hello, soldier.

I am.

Why didn't you come for this?

I've been busy.

Well, what happened to the big play you were giving me?

And why the quick freeze?

I thought I was in the lieutenant's territory.

Don't let that bother you.

No, I'm not.

No.

No.

There's a file, sir.

What was that paper she gave you?

That's a list of tonight's entertainment and recreation hall.

Does she come in here very often?

Every day.

You know what's against orders?

Let any outsider in these offices.

Oh,

I thought the guard outside would have been given instructions if it weren't

permitted, sir.

Follow me.

Lieutenant, bring in the guard.

Yes, sir.

Captain, I'd like you to believe that no one else saw that list of names.

So no one else saw it.

If someone has those names right now, every man on that list is in danger.

Well, luckily, there weren't any addresses on it.

Luckily, I kept those in the safe.

Well, those men ought to be protected, sir.

We ought to warn them.

you'd like to sound the alarm and scare the daylights out of those poor

scientists.

No, we report this to military intelligence.

But, sir, my brother, he's in danger.

Can't I telephone him?

Definitely not.

And if you didn't take that list, whoever did will want the rest of it.

I'm going to hold you where you can't do any more damage.

Take him to the guardhouse.

I'll be here.

Yes, ma 'am, Miss Almer, you set for me?

Oh, yes, Sam.

I want you to take these shoes to the cobbler for me.

What's a cobbler?

Sam, a cobbler is a shoemaker.

Now do you understand?

Oh, that's what you call a cobbler.

Now listen carefully, Sam.

I want you to take these to him and tell him that they still hurt my feet.

If he can stop feet from hurt, I can sure use a cobbler.

Now hurry along, Sam.

And don't forget, tell him I want him back tomorrow.

Yes, ma 'am, I want the cobbler called a blizzard earring boy.

Hey, wait a moment.

What is this?

You're the cobbler, ain't you?

Yes.

Then start cobbling.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, if you don't pay attention to me, I'm going to make your life miserable.

Listen, you shrimp, get up on your feet and trot over here.

I got things to say.

Okay, I gave you plenty of chances.

Okay.

I thought that'd get you.

Now listen to me.

If you don't cut this out, I'll report you to the captain.

What'll he do?

Put me in jail?

All right.

All right, what do you want?

You got change of a dollar?

What could you do in there with change for a dollar?

I want a nickel to telephone.

Are you crazy?

I suppose you want me to bring a phone into you.

No, I want you to take me to a phone.

Listen, it's a matter of life and death.

Yeah, for me too, if I ever let you out of there.

Oh, so you want to be tough.

Okay, shrimp.

All I want to do is get to a telephone.

Is there anything difficult about that?

Do you want me to get special permission for you from the Colonel?

Special permission from the Colonel.

Don't get me special permission from the Colonel.

They say I'm over here with this floor for somebody.

Okay, Sam, I'll let you in this monkey's cage.

And one false move out of you and I'll punt you on the ear with this.

What floor are you knocking me in here for?

I haven't done nothing, have I?

I haven't?

Put that food down and I'll let you out.

Well, I won't put it.

Throw it at him if you have to or dump it on the floor.

Yeah, put it here.

Only mugs like that to give you trouble.

Yeah, I don't want no trouble.

I'm going to get out of here.

I suppose I tell you how to keep out of trouble.

If you know that, how come you ain't here?

Because I want to get these cards.

Oh -oh, here it comes.

Oh -oh, it's bad luck to walk away from them.

They tell you fortune.

They told me I was going to meet up with that shrimp there.

What's this card?

Ace of spades.

That means death and destruction.

Death and destruction?

For me?

Oh, for the man who gets it.

Come on, get out of here.

He's a faker, Sam.

He said it's bad luck to walk away from them cards.

You say your name is Sam?

That's right.

That's three letters in Sam.

One, two, three.

Pick the third card.

What does it say?

Your life is a happy one.

You attract romance.

Where can I get some of these?

Oh, you can have these cheap.

How much money have you got?

Oh, let's see, I know.

Oh, that last game, you see.

These dice, rabbit foot, and a nickel.

That's just what I want, the nickel.

If you don't come out now, I'll keep you in there all night.

I'm coming right now.

I've got to get rid of one of these cards.

You can have this old death and destruction.

Come on, no, I don't want it.

Death and destruction.

Nice trick, soldier, getting that nickel.

Now maybe you can pull a telephone out of your hat.

When I know the answer to that, I'll remind you of that crack.

Death and destruction.

Death and destruction.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You came to the wrong place.

But he couldn't make that mistake.

She knows you very well.

Her name is Alva.

I don't remember the lady.

Would you tell her I'm sorry.

I only repair men's shoes.

But you must remember the lady.

Why, your name is on her recommendation paper.

It's Barton.

Thank you.

Alma Barton, oh, the Barton girl, Alma Barton.

I didn't know she was here.

You don't keep in very close touch with your friends, do you?

Well, young girls forget old men like me.

But my wife, she'd be glad to see Alma.

You tell her where we are, huh?

She's a very pretty girl, Alma.

She should be very happy with the many soldiers at your place.

Oh, then you did know she was in camp.

Oh, yeah.

You just told me.

You tell Alma, come see us.

Don't forget.

I won't forget.

Thank you.

Hey!

They're well going!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you.

All yours, boys.

Oh, Sargent Blake.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

You're always looking for news.

How'd you like to know something?

Well, anything you've got to say, it'll be mighty pleasant to hear.

You know that young fellow in the headquarters, aren't you?

You mean your boyfriend?

That's him.

Well, let's put him in the guardhouse.

Well, this isn't his.

Why'd they do that?

Isn't that a terrible thing for him?

It all depends on what he did.

That's what I thought you'd know.

No, this is the first that I've heard of.

Well, thanks anyway.

Anything else I can do for you?

Not right now.

Okay.

What's the idea?

I'd like to have to blab everything.

How'd you know I was in the guardhouse?

I've got ears and eyes, haven't I?

What are you doing here?

I want a telephone.

You'll get caught.

Not if you help me.

Wait a minute.

Keep down.

Hello, Alma.

Lieutenant, you're late.

I've been looking for you.

I'm afraid I'll have to cancel that date with you tonight.

Don't say that, Alma.

I've made special arrangements.

But you're late.

For a very good reason.

Look, it's for you.

Why?

It's lovely, Lieutenant.

Not, Lieutenant.

You're very kind, John.

May I take you home tonight?

Well, I'm sorry, but I have something to do.

You call me later, at home.

I'll call you.

You know, I've got just about one minute before they close this place.

See if the road's clear of the telephone.

Why don't you let me telephone for you?

Ah, this is important.

Private.

Wait a minute.

The road's okay.

You sneak around that way.

Okay, thanks.

Hello?

Oh, is this Gregory?

No, your brother's not here.

No, I'm worried.

He should have been home this morning.

Now why don't you call back in an hour?

I can't call again.

Tell my brother to be careful.

He's in great danger.

I'll wait for his call here.

Call me at Gladstone.

One, six, one, one, one.

All in and out, men.

9 o 'clock.

Come on, break it up.

All in and out, men.

9 o 'clock.

Break it up.

Get to our shoulders.

Come on, boys.

We'll do it together.

9 o 'clock.

Break it up.

Keep showing the shoulders.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

All in and out, 9 o 'clock.

Keep going.

Break it up, soldier.

That's all right, Sam.

I'll lock that up tonight.

Well, Sam, I like to oblige.

Well, I got orders and orders, orders to Sam.

I've got to lock it up.

I'm sorry.

There's the baby.

It ain't finished.

I've got to do what they tell me here, Norm.

It's all right.

OK.

You can just talk to me.

Thank you.

What's that you've got there, Sam?

Miss Alma, here's a package a man up the gate for you.

Oh, about an hour ago.

Thanks, Sam.

You're welcome.

I'd like very much to examine those shoes.

Well, Captain...

Well, Martin, aren't you just a bit out of your territory?

If you must play games, you can start with this pair.

I'll accept your word for this pair.

Well, accept my word for anything at this time of night.

I've been on my feet all day.

I'm tired.

In that case,

I must insist upon you coming to headquarters for military inspection.

Well, I've had a lot of proposals,

but it's the first time I've ever heard it called military inspection.

Wait a minute.

Were you expecting a special phone call?

Anything might happen around here.

In that event, I'll answer it myself.

Don't you leave here.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

You can stay here all night answering dead telephones.

Bring on your military escort.

I'm leaving.

Turn on that light.

Turn it on yourself.

Over here.

It's Ed McCarroll.

Lock me in here.

Are you sure you didn't let him go?

I'll tell you, he had a key.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Greg.

Has my brother come home yet?

No, Gregory.

Your brother you get.

Shall I call the police?

No.

Wait until I can get to you.

He's in danger, all right.

But you can't tell the police about it.

Well, can I phone you back at the same number when he returns?

No, they closed this place.

I'll have to get in touch with you.

Take care of yourself.

The wrong kind of people want to know what you're working on.

Don't let anyone in the house.

Right.

I can't understand it.

Couldn't have gotten off the gate.

There's a light in the recreation hall.

It's locked.

I've got a key.

Hurry.

Where's life?

On the wall, sir.

Lieutenant, look here.

This is a crash we heard.

He must have got out this way.

Send an alarm.

Give a description of Corporal Greg Carroll.

Yes, sir.

You know, Sergeant, that fellow worked fast to escape.

He was in this room and we saw that light.

And now that light is out.

Why did he risk turning on the light?

And why did he stop to turn it off?

Lieutenant, Captain Bryant.

Thank you.

What's this about an escaped prisoner?

It's worse than that journal.

We just found Captain Bryant murdered.

Sergeant, go over to medical department and report this to Major Fallon.

He'll have to make an examination before we can touch the body.

Yes, sir.

Is this man who escaped?

What's his name?

Corporal Greg Carroll.

Do you think he did the killing?

Very likely.

The captain used his stealing.

Will you?

Hello?

Oh, hello, lieutenant.

Then you didn't forget to call.

Alma.

Wait, Alma.

Oh, Roberto time.

Listen, when is the last time you saw Captain Bryant?

Did you see him tonight?

No.

No, I was asleep.

No.

No, I didn't see the captain.

I never talked to him.

You sound so serious.

What time did you leave the recreational?

Now listen carefully.

No matter what happens,

don't get Excited tell them you did not see the captain.

This is important for your sake Captain Bryant has just been murdered.

They'll question you I'll try to be assigned to the case .

Hey turn that light out.

You of all people the bloodhounds are after you for murder get out of this

place they've been there looking already they won't come back and then listen

we got what we had yeah I want you to drive the kind of class again with me and

I get they're running away I have to look kind of got his hand mixed up in this

some way I don't have a chance around Yes.

But give me a promise.

Come to my hangar.

All you have to do is get the car ready and wait.

I have to get something out of the Captain's safe.

You dapper, you're in enough trouble.

What's in the safe that's so important?

It's a paper with some addresses and the Captain's dead.

I can't let anyone else see it.

Oh, brother, this is worse than the movie melodrama.

Well, I'm in this deep.

Get going.

I'll get the car.

Thanks.

Everything all right?

Well, come on.

We haven't got all night.

All right.

Special trip for the Colonel.

Hello.

I got this carefully.

A girl that works in the recreation hall.

Alma Barton.

She was the last one to see the Captain alive.

I know the girl.

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

But how can I reach you afterwards?

Give me that again.

All right.

I'll meet you there.

May me?

Oh, may me.

If anybody calls for me, I won't be back until late.

I just know it.

Every time that man calls, my heart does apologize.

And maybe when I have to eat and I have to earn the money.

Yeah, we each give you.

Someday they'll tell you.

We both stopped eating.

Oh, Mamie.

Why do I say them things?

What's the matter with Mamie?

Now, I'm going to have one of my worrying nights again.

I mean, sorry you have such difficulty in finding me,

but we have had a tragedy.

Captain Bryant was murdered.

Oh, yes.

Yes, so I just heard.

Well, maybe I can help you.

My name is Wallace.

I'm from Military Intelligence.

Your Colonel Longstreet.

Yes.

Well, you certainly jumped onto this case quickly enough.

Yes, well, that isn't why I'm here.

You have a young soldier in your camp by the name of Greg Carroll.

Why, yes.

He's a man we think killed Captain Bryant.

No, that doesn't check with my record.

He's a brother of a very important government scientist who was killed last

night.

Maybe there's some important connection between the two cases.

Hmm, yes, it could be.

But of course, for the moment, my interest is in your soldier, Greg Carroll.

It seems that he previously worked for his brother,

and had some knowledge of a secret formula.

I wish I could help you, but he's just escaped.

And my orders were to turn heaven on earth to find him.

Well, excuse me, my one.

Yes.

Hey, I've been thinking as long as those papers are so important,

why don't you give them to me before they catch you?

Oh, then they're going to catch me.

Besides, I haven't got the papers.

I've burned them.

Well, that's kind of dumb, isn't it?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm the only one who knows it.

And it's right in here.

Well, are we on a picnic, or am I hauling a fugitive?

Where do we go from here?

I want to go to 328 Woodbury Street.

Oh, you'll be sorry.

Why?

That's Alma.

That's one gal you better hide from while you're in this picnic.

Hey, Alma can be a big help to me right now.

OK, brother.

Hop in.

I'm now the driver of a suicide wagon.

But I'm not going to drive through town with a criminal in uniform.

You're going to hike it part of the way.

I'm in.

I'm just going through the captain's papers to see if I can find some reason

for this tragedy.

There's somebody people over there.

Be careful and don't touch it.

I want to leave it for military intelligence.

Colonel, I'd like to ask a special favor.

In civilian life, I run a newspaper.

And that training might be useful to me right now.

I'd like to help you with this case.

Well, I admire your spirit, Sergeant.

Lieutenant Harmon had the same idea.

Why don't you work with him?

Thank you, sir.

Go over to this address and join him.

I sent two soldiers over with him.

That's this girl, Alma.

Yes, the girl from the recreation hall.

Do you know the apartment number?

I checked it.

It's 77, sir.

All right.

Alma.

Is Miss Barton at home?

It depends.

She expecting you?

Yes.

Tell her it's Hugh, I'm Stanley Hugh.

I have an important message for her.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Alma wants me to take the message so she's getting too careless she must go to

the cobbler in the morning who gave you the message the cobbler flagler OK

we'll be there but not in that uniform suddenly not.

I'm sorry he's called to this what I need.

Take the next turn on the left drive up toward the Wilson apartments.

Thanks for watching!

Did you ring for the elevator?

Yeah, about 10 minutes ago.

I think I'll ring it again.

Please tell Miss Elma Barton I'm here.

Lieutenant Harmon.

Number 77 please.

Miss Elma Barton.

I have a brother who talks just exactly like you.

Don't tell me a brother has...

Let's go this way.

Sorry sir, no answer.

She must be in.

Agua?

Yes.

Hey, are you running away from somebody?

No, I'm just allergic to soldiers.

That'll be tough on you these days.

Come on.

What now?

Let's go.

Well, my car is out that way.

Well, we can get to it this way too.

George, you find anything?

Lieutenant.

Found this man tied up in here.

I found the girl dead.

Dead?

Then he must have done it.

I suppose he killed her and came in here and tied himself up.

All right, get him down.

We'll soon find out.

Come on, snap out of it.

Yeah, I got some heavy thinking to do.

Perhaps you could do it over a cup of coffee.

My Mamie makes great coffee.

My Mamie makes great coffee.

It's not like a radio ad.

Mamie's my maid.

No more for me, Mamie.

You can clean this up in the morning.

Yes, sir.

But it's most morning now.

In another hour, the sun will be shining.

You ought to get yourself some sleep.

Some people don't know when to go home.

What, to come right out and tell me to go home?

Well, that's what I is saying.

Well, don't throw him out.

He's only been here ten minutes, and after all, I did invite him for coffee.

But it's too late for night coffee and too early for breakfast.

You need to get yourself some sleep, and so do I.

Well, you get your sleep maintenance.

That's all for tonight.

Well, that may be all, but I ain't getting any sleep till you get yours.

I'll be back in five minutes to remind you.

That'll end for me to go home.

Oh, of course not.

Go on and finish your coffee.

Will you excuse me for just a moment?

Thank you.

He's about six feet tall, fairly broad shoulders, wears a size 7 hat,

well his shoes are probably a size 10.

Yes, brown color.

Yes, you're right.

Oh I knew that from the very beginning.

Thank you.

Yes, yes, you're right.

I got that telephone.

Just a minute.

Why should I?

I'm just telephoning for another suit of clothes for you in the morning.

What's the matter with the suit I'm wearing?

Well, in the first place, I don't like it.

In the second place, it isn't yours.

In the third place, you stole it.

In the fourth and most important.

By this time, the Army has a description of it,

and they'll spot you the minute you show your face.

You know everything, don't you?

I listen into that conversation in the other room.

Hello.

Uh, deliver that suit early in the morning.

This almost morning, we'll send it over right away.

That's perfect.

Why are you mixed up on this?

Don't you know?

Huh?

I'm a newspaper woman.

But I'll hold it until I get the complete story and the right one.

Well, just one more question.

What?

How'd you know I changed clothes?

Oh, that's easy.

I went over to question this girl, Alma.

Then when I found her dead, I hurried out.

And then you went in, and you came out, and that suit will close.

Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.

I brought the civilian prisoner to see you didn't you question him yes sir his

lawyer arrived with the writ of habeas corpus he demands we release the

prisoner the writ of habeas corpus gives him that power show them in coming

this is Colonel Longstreet he has authority in this matter I have here a writ

of habeas corpus for the release of my client would you like to read it no now

it's not necessary you were very quick to take advantage of the laws of this

country it's a privilege you can't get at any other country but it's a

privilege that bears with it a responsibility on your part to help our country

to help us if he's innocent I can't add any more than I've already told the

lieutenant I visited the young lady Your soldier attacked me and took my

clothes.

This is his uniform.

Did you check on the number of his uniform?

Yes, sir.

It belongs to Corporal Greg Carroll, the escaped prisoner.

We have a description of his clothes.

All right.

Here may go.

Dr.

Marlin, that uniform belongs to the United States Army.

I brought a suit of clothes for him.

He won't take the uniform.

Sergeant, follow them.

Don't get them out of your sight.

Right.

I thought it was a secret, but that man was a prisoner.

So did I.

We told no one and let no one see him.

Then what brought a lawyer here first thing in the morning to rescue him?

I can't explain it, sir.

Are you sure you haven't got a confession to make?

I'm glad you brought it up, Colonel.

I've been wanting to talk to you.

Well, this is a good time to get it off your chest.

Sit down.

It's about the girl, the one who was found dead last night, Alma.

I was in love with her.

Did she kill Captain Bryant?

I don't know.

Maybe she, maybe Corporal Greg Carroll, maybe anyone.

I had no suspicion of her.

I only know that I loved her.

Well, if I were you,

I'd stay on this case until I found out who did take her life.

That's the way I feel about it, sir.

I made a good search of her apartment last night and found some very important

evidence.

Do I have your permission to continue on this case?

Yes, and my sympathy and cooperation.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, there's a car that's been following us for miles.

Turn on that side road.

You scared us before we knew who you were.

You're a couple of blundering idiots.

Why?

The captain's dead, the girl's dead, you're free, and here I am.

Everything's perfect.

Yeah, until this monkey showed up too soon.

Why didn't you wait for me to tell you?

Now it's tipped.

And you missed it.

I sent you up there to steer him to the cobbler, and what happened?

You got caught in your own trap.

Well, that soldier had a terrific wallet.

Yeah.

Did he get the name of the cobbler?

Yeah, he fell for that.

Well, then get down there and see if he can beat you to it.

Hold him like him.

I'm supposed to trade you.

See that you'll lose me going into town.

Right.

Mamie!

What do you want, more coffee?

No, the doorbell.

Miss Linda.

Why, Miss Linda doesn't like the door itself.

She's got a key.

She's always losing it.

I ought to nail it all up.

How are you, Hunter Mamie?

You hired nothing.

You hired tated out of here.

Go around to the kitchen door.

That's where you belong.

That's where I'm waiting for you.

Some men don't never learn nothing.

Just call her and let him use her front door when Miss Linda ain't home.

He thinks he can use it when she is home.

What's the matter with me?

Miss Linda ain't home now.

What's keeping her?

She's late.

She's late.

She's always late.

That ain't coming.

My worry, none.

Don't get a home for two.

I'm going out to dinner.

Why, you peeking, what's this?

That'll learn you to keep your nose out of kills when it won't get burnt.

You got no right coming around here when we got company.

Say, is you AWPA again?

Who's that man in there?

Who wants to know?

I seem to remember him.

Well, that man's a gentleman, so you wouldn't know him.

You only know men's what's been in jail.

I ain't made no jail since I've been in the Army.

Well, that's the only way you did, Miss.

I almost remember him dead.

You bumped it out of me with that door.

Well, it won't turn black.

Do it hurt much.

I found the cobbler's shop and it's open.

Oh, that's news.

I'll take that shoe to him and see if it works.

Oh, did you try to telephone your brother again?

Yeah, several times, but he's not home.

He's gone all right.

That note on the shoe was the truth.

I was afraid of that.

Oh, say, wait a minute.

I want to speak to Mamie.

Oh, Sam, I'm sorry.

Did I hurt you?

No, ma 'am, I'm used to it by now.

Mamie, here's an address.

heaven with you.

I know it's a cobbler's shop down on 7th Street.

Well, that's where this one is.

Do you know the man's name?

No, ma 'am, I don't remember.

Was it Flagler?

Oh, yes, ma 'am, that's it.

Well, you take Mamie there and show her where it is, huh?

Oh, no, ma 'am.

Yeah.

Well, let's not waste any more time, soldier.

We've been expecting you, so we'll proceed.

This note says you bring us news.

Instead, we'd like to give you news.

This is our exhibit A.

Now,

will you give me the addresses of those other scientists on that secret paper?

Of course, in exchange for your own safety.

That's him.

I want these shoes repaired.

Now wait for me.

Oh, I don't repair lady's shoes.

Well, I don't know nothing about that.

We'll take these away and tell her I don't repair lady's shoes.

Don't you dare touch them shoes, Sam.

If you do, I'll knock your head off of your shoulders.

Order's his order.

And we's waiting.

Well, if you're going to wait, you might as well be comfortable.

Come in the other way.

Well, I'm going to wait.

But what's the matter with waiting right here?

I need that chair for my other customers.

Well, all right, dear.

I'll have sure rest my feet.

And he thought he'd get rid of me.

What's the signal for?

A Libra couple came in.

It means you got rid of them.

What are you waiting for?

Your soldier just came in the car.

She's waiting for him over there.

You sure she came with him?

Certainly.

That's what kept me here.

If you had to shut my mob, I could've told that cobbly man something.

You could've told nobody nothing.

I could've told him he was lying.

Because I know he repaired lady's shoes.

Because I've been here before with lady's shoes.

What lady?

Poor lady, baby.

Well, they're good.

Well, didn't say so.

You got most of it.

Well, I ought to.

You've been eating with me long enough.

Uh -oh.

What's the matter?

You got that card again?

Well, death and destruction.

I should never took that card from that man.

What?

man he's the man he's a man is it your house last night he's a man to kill the

captain or death and destruction now I know who can get the destruction you

know that soldier didn't have my suit on he's changed his clothes that means

the girl has help somewhere not a minute she'll be calling the police how are

we going to that spot so she won't say it's going to the cobbler shop Thank

you.

Hey, now's your chance.

I'll head her off.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

I've had a job finding you.

I have a message from Greg, Corporal Greg Carroll.

Oh.

I'm his friend.

He says everything's okay, and I'll take you to him.

Oh, well, thank you.

Where is my brother?

You won't know that until you give us the addresses of those other scientists.

I told you I'd burn that paper.

Well, we think you're a very clever fellow.

If you hadn't been, you never would have found this place.

So we think you would remember.

Either you give us those addresses or you don't leave here alive.

Oh, my life is perfectly safe with you.

I got something you want.

I can't give it to you if I'm dead.

A very pretty speech.

But this time, we'd kill you rather than have you escape.

The last time we met in Alma's apartment, I was under orders not to harm you.

This time, we have other methods.

Will you let me talk to my brother?

No.

Well, what do you offer me for the addresses?

Nothing.

That is nothing for the addresses.

But if the addresses are correct, we're only interested in the silence.

Come on.

This door leads into a fever room.

The lever closes the door tightly.

This window, we observe the patient.

The dry heat temperature of 110 degrees,

the patient becomes light -headed and delirious.

Then he's ill and talks like a delirious person.

If he doesn't say what we want to hear,

then we run the temperature up to 150 or more.

Then his patient dies.

Linda!

Our first patient.

I have the paper they said you stole.

The names of the chemists, the scientists.

Your brother's name is there.

don't need his address but we do want the others you told me they were in here

guardhouse after you helped me escape you you know an awful lot about Alma too

but and it was Alma that stole that paper oh who killed the captain well Alma

didn't the captain was snooping he got too close to Alma I had to help her who

killed Alma?

Alma was the last one to see the captain alive so I had to get to her before

doing in that uniform well in my own country I'm a much higher ranking officer

two friends down in the shoe shop keep that temperature at 110 you Now,

Please, please!

I owe you one drop, that gun.

All right, open the door.

What am I doing?

Put him in there.

You heard what he said.

Okay, you're next.

I'd like you to look at this shoe.

Oh, I don't repair a lady's shoe.

He didn't ask you to repair it.

You did repair it at one time.

I traced the leather.

The manufacturer said he sold it to you.

What about it?

You remember the girl who brought it here?

Sergeant.

What are you doing here?

What is this place?

Maybe you'd like to come and look around.

The boys from your office visits here, and we can recommend it.

Don't do that, honey.

You'll get me in trouble.

How am I gonna get out if I don't beat my way out?

I'll take us out of here somehow.

You couldn't think of us out of an empty house.

Well, don't do that.

Don't wait.

Sergeant, open the door.

You always go, juice.

How come you lock us in that room and where is Miss Linda's shoes?

I ain't gonna stay locked up in no room waiting on a lazy, no -good,

high -falutin' cobbler what does nothing about my Miss Linda's shoes.

Oh, it's you.

I might have known you'd be here whenever Miss Linda's in trouble.

Someday I'm gonna take Miss Linda out of the newspaper business.

Where is Miss Linda?

Well, how do I know?

She'd give me orders to wake her up for her shoes and wait our ears.

The lady came in, took her shoes, and went away.

Set for you to go home.

You go home and tell Miss Linda that I'll be up to see her.

Well, Miss Linda me orders to wait, but if you say so, all right.

Come on, Sam.

Uh -oh, Lieutenant.

How much furlough can I get if I tell you where to find this soldier who killed

Captain Bryant?

How are you knowing?

I fed him in the guard house.

He's with Miss Linda.

He gave me this old card, death and destruction.

You go back to camp.

We'll find the soldier.

Sam!

Come on!

Sergeant, you were a very good friend of Corporal Greg Carroll.

I believe you're shielding him.

Where is he?

I haven't any idea.

Stop bluffing, Sergeant.

I came here with a lady's shoe traced to the shop.

The shoemaker lied to me.

He just repaired some lady's shoes.

You have the soldier here.

We're going to search the place.

Lead the way, Sergeant.

We're going to search the place.

Lieutenant.

Keep going.

Keep going.

Grab it.

Lieutenant, it's safe in your hand.

Somebody better take care of those two monkeys in there before the heat gets

them.

Hey, Linda!

I think you're turning it the wrong way.

You're turning it hot.

Is that such a bad idea?

No.
