Two men.

Photographs.

- [Voiceover] Attention, please, attention please.

Will passengers for flight number 46 for Paris...

- Passengers for flight 457,

will you please identify your luggage for inspection?

- Customs check, Peter?

- [Peter] So it seems.

- I can understand them inspecting your things

when you arrive in a country, but not when you leave.

- Relax, Dee.

I'll go and find our bags.

- [Skycap] Is this yours? - Yes.

(dramatic music)

You're not going to open everything, are you?

- Yes, Miss.

We're going to open everything.

(ominous music)

- Nothing to declare!

- Do you mind if I examine that?

- Get your hands off me!

(people chatting)

- What else have you got, besides this?

- Wouldn't you like to know?

- Looks like a business trip.

- I'm doing a show in Paris, drop in and see.

Bye, handsome!

- Goodbye.

And I'd like to.

- Mr. Walter? - [Mr. Walter] Yes?

- You mind stepping this way?

- What goes on?

- We won't keep you long, sir.

- You want to search me?

- Just routine, of course.

- Anything you say.

- [Voiceover] Flight number 521,

from Bar-sell-ah, has now left.

- [Peter] Okay, Dee, here they are.

- Mr. Brady, isn't it?

- [Peter] Guess my bandages are a bit hard to hide.

- Is this all yours?

- This is mine, that's my sister's.

Why the search?

- Instructions, Mr. Brady, all ships and aircraft.

- [Peter] Come on, Dee.

- Found anything?

- No, sir. Not so far.

- Socks, shoes.

- Quite all right, sir.

- How about the heels?

Surely you know the old tricks.

False heels packed with diamonds.

- We're quite sure you're not carrying diamonds, sir.

- That's nice to know.

How about the jacket?

- You may have it, sir.

Our apologies, sir, but in cases like this--

- Cases like what?

- Well, sometimes we have to make a special examination.

- Forget it. You've got your job to do.

- Nice of you to put it that way, sir.

Pleasant journey.

- Thank you.

- But I told you, I saw him.

First he had a knife in his hand,

and then he tried to slip something into her coat.

- You're imagining things, Dee.

Anyhow, they probably know each other.

- Then why aren't they sitting together?

I think he's smuggling something.

- Relax.

We're on holiday.

- There's...

- I hope you don't mind me speaking to you like this.

- Something wrong?

- Not at all.

I wondered if you'd care to join me in a drink.

- No , thank you.

- I know Paris well.

If I can be of any assistance...

- I also know Paris very well,

and I prefer to travel alone.

- I quite understand.

I enjoyed the puppets.

- Thank you.

- What do you think of that?

- It's obvious. Man on his own, pretty girl.

- It's more than that.

(ominous music)

(dramatic music)

- Can I help you?

- My mistake.

- Well?

- It's the oldest story in the world.

- I still think it's smuggling.

- Jump in.

- I haven't got the microfilm.

- What?

But you must have it, it's in the papers.

- I took the pictures, all right.

- Well, where are they?

- In the lining of a mink coat.

- But I don't get it.

- You will do, Bunny.

In fact, you're going to get the coat.

Within the next few minutes,

one of my fellow passengers is coming through that door.

She'll be carrying a,

there she is.

- What do I do?

- It's simple, Bunny.

Grab the coat, and then run for it.

The film's inside the lining, near the hem.

Get it out while you're running,

then drop the coat.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, my coat!

- Hey, Dee, look!

- Halt!

I'll break your arm! - [Bunny] Let me go!

Let me go! - [Mr. Walter] I saw it all.

- Let me go! - [Mr. Walter] You rat!

- All right, I'll take care of him.

- Here.

Hey!

- Oh, thank you, thank you very much.

- And now, perhaps you'll forgive me

for trying to get to know you on the plane.

- The little swine got away.

- May I introduce my husband to you.

- How do you do?

Thank you for your help. Come.

- Maybe you were right all the time, Dee.

- Hello, Peter.

Come over here, and have a look at the Eiffel Tower.

- I've seen it.

Hello?

I want a London number.

Whitehall,

9802.

- What's on your mind?

- That girl with the mink.

- And her great, big wonderful husband?

- It was the mink I was thinking about.

Remember something, Dee?

That other fellow who tried to pick it up on the aircraft?

- I can't be sure about that.

But I do know that he cut it with a knife.

Why, has anything happened?

- See that?

- "Raid on atomic plant,

"secret plans believed photographed."

But I don't see that that--

- The customs check, Dee.

They were after something very special.

It's just possible that,

Oh, hello?

Sir George?

Brady here.

- Oh, hello, Peter.

A mink coat, eh?

Well, probably just smuggling.

Yes, there is a special customs check,

a Midland rocket plant was broken into.

They took some pictures.

They'll probably try to smuggle them out of the country

on microfilm.

Well, if what you say is correct,

the Invisible Man is the obvious person to follow it up.

- [Peter] But I'm on holiday.

- Oh, come, Peter.

All you have to do is look in the coat.

- Okay, I'll go ahead without authority.

I've still gotta find out who she is.

All I know is, a mink coat and puppets.

- Well, I know, old boy, it's very little to go on,

but you do your best.

- All right. I'll do what I can.

My name

Is little Clarice

The first

Time I'm in Paris

But if

You think my French

Is poor

I know

When you say (singing in foreign language)

In Paris I'm

So gay and happy

- How is it going, cherie?

- Well, it'll be all right in the night.

But when

- I'm going to change, cherie.

I'll see you in the dressing room.

I shout

Vive la France

("La Marseillaise")

- You want something?

You again!

- [Mr. Walter] Yes.

- Listen, monsieur, maybe you did help me

get my wife's coat back.

But why are you hanging around?

You want something, as well as thanks?

- Is that meant to be funny?

- I am not funny, monsieur.

- I'll take your word for that.

There's a little business I'd like to discuss with her.

- My wife has only one business, puppets.

Are you dealing in puppets?

- No, I have a proposition to make.

- Only puppets, monsieur.

No other proposition.

I think you better go.

- All right, if you wanna make trouble for yourself.

(jazz music)

Tell me,

who's the character in the fancy tights?

- Oh, you mean Marcel the Magnifique.

- Could be. What's his act?

- Oh, he juggles, Indian clubs.

- Does his wife work with him?

- No, they do separate acts.

- I must watch this show.

Thank you.

- We want to see a show with puppets.

No, that isn't the same as young dogs.

Forget it.

(receiver clicking)

- Take a look at this.

- [Peter] "Penny Page, the doll with the dolls.

"Blue Jeans Club."

- This could be her.

- Could be.

Come on, let's go.

(jazz music)

- And now, the moment you've been waiting for.

Boys, don't take your eyes off me.

Woe is me.

(jazz music)

- Keep the change.

(door slamming)

I could do with a drink.

- [Peter] Order two. I'll be right back.

I wanna have a look around inside.

- Mutation, you've no idea what that cost me.

Well, I've wriggled out of worse than this.

(knocking at door)

- [Voiceover] Two minutes, Marcel.

- Merci!

Go boy, shut the door!

- It's about time for that big ape to start his act.

I'm going in to pick up the film

while he's swinging his clubs and nowhere near me.

- [Bunny] Hmm.

- And that's the lot, boys.

After all, what kind of a girl do you think I am?

(audience applauding)

(flourish of music)

(jazz music)

- Marcel, what are you doing here, you're on!

- Oh, Merci, cherie.

(jazz music)

(chair scraping)

- Peter?

- [Peter] Yes. You were right.

At least you were half-right.

I found the coat.

The lining had been cut.

- I knew it.

- [Peter] But there was nothing inside!

(door latch clicking)

(dramatic music)

- Where is it?

- What?

- The mink coat.

The film!

What happened to the film?

(lining tearing)

Where is it?

Where have you put it?

- What, I don't know what you're talking about.

- Give it to me! - [Penny] What?

- Okay, you're coming with me.

- But why, why?

- You'll find out.

Just keep it quiet.

- You're quite sure there was nothing in the coat, Peter?

- [Peter] Quite sure.

- But I saw him slip something into the lining.

- [Peter] Listen, Dee,

you've gotta be absolutely certain about this.

We could be in serious trouble if we got this wrong.

- Take it from me, there was something there.

(screaming)

- [Peter] See you later, Dee.

Excuse me.

Don't worry, it's only a loan!

- Hey, you, stop!

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

(exclaiming)

(exclaiming)

- Cherie!

(door buzzer buzzing)

- Maybe you'll think quicker here, Miss Page.

Just give us the right answers.

- I don't know what you want.

- The film.

The microfilm from the lining of your coat.

- What film?

- I put it there myself.

(dramatic music)

(footsteps echoing)

- I promise you that I know nothing at all about it.

- One man has been killed already to get this.

I shot him.

I'm not going to waste time over you.

- I don't know what I've done.

I just don't know what I've done.

- You know.

You took the coat to the club.

No one else had a chance to touch it.

The film was there, it's gone now.

Miss Page, you're a pretty girl.

Please talk.

(switchblade clicking) (dramatic music)

(knocking at door)

- [Marcel] Open up!

Open the door!

- Let him in.

- Quickly, Penny-- - [Penny] Marcel!

- Ah!

(Marcel groaning)

- Leave him.

- Maybe he can help you.

- Get him up, Bunny.

(Marcel grunting)

- Marcel,

Marcel, are you all right?

- Oui.

- Now listen, Marcel.

My mink coat, in the dressing room.

- Your mink? - [Penny] Yes.

Did you touch it, or did you take anything from it?

- I did. - [Penny] A film?

- I had it developed.

I was curious to know what you had been doing in England.

- Where is it now?

- Tell him, Marcel.

- Imperial Studios.

At the Lido.

- Keep an eye on these two, Bunny.

I'll be back.

(dramatic music)

(knocking at door)

Open up!

- Who's there?

I'm closed.

- [Mr. Walter] Never mind, open up.

- Just a moment.

What do you want?

- You had some microfilm today from Marcel.

- Yes?

- What have you done with it?

- It's developed. Why?

- He sent me to fetch it.

- Oh, fine time of night to come.

Here you are then.

- That's it.

- Hey, just a minute.

What about my money?

(bright music)

- [Peter] I'll take care of that.

(door slamming)

- [Dressing Gown Man] Hey, what are you doing?

(thudding)

Imperial Studios here.

Help. Police!

Right now!

And hurry.

(thudding) (grunting)

(playful music)

- Stop, you'll burn it!

(flames crackling)

(thudding)

- [Peter] Sorry, can't wait, that's him on the floor.

See you later!

(dramatic music)

- There's your man!

(Mr. Walter groaning)

(playful music)

(door latch clicking)

- Did you do that?

- How could I?

- Don't touch that club.

- I am not!

- Keep it away.

Don't make it walk!

Keep it away, keep it away, oh my God!

(dramatic music)

- [Woman Puppet] How do you do?

- [Invisible Man Puppet] How are you?

- I'm fine,

fine.

You don't look too good.

What's the matter with you?

- [Invisible Man Puppet] Oh, surely you know who I am.

- Who?

- I'm Brady, the famous Invisible Puppet.
