00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29Oh, Mr. Manning!
00:01:56Much pleased to see you.
00:02:01Hello, Wong. How are you?
00:02:03Good. Much wishes for the Happy New Year.
00:02:06That's right. This is the 12th of February.
00:02:09Chinese New Year.
00:02:11All wishes for happiness in the coming year.
00:02:13I've just received a very fine shipment, a beautiful thing from the Orient. Nothing picked over yet.
00:02:27No, Wong. I'm not here to buy anything for the ranch.
00:02:29I came to see you because you're the only real friend I have in San Francisco.
00:02:35Ah, Wong. Much honor.
00:02:37There's trouble in Arizona, Wong.
00:02:39So? At the Golden Eye Mine?
00:02:41Not only at the mine, at home, on the ranch, everywhere.
00:02:45Someone was trying to kill me, Wong.
00:02:47You tap-toe the police, man?
00:02:51No, Wong. This is no matter for the police.
00:02:54Either they wouldn't believe or they wouldn't understand.
00:02:56This is the case for Charlie Chan, if I can find him.
00:02:59I'd gladly help.
00:03:01Chan, at Pleasantime, a Chan family on Washington Street.
00:03:06Where they bring a New Year's greeting to honor of a cousin.
00:03:09Fine. Out in Arizona, they never figured that a Chinese might be a detective.
00:03:13Where's your phone?
00:03:14Oh, how do you think?
00:03:22Miss Manning, please. 604.
00:03:26Hello. Yes, Dad.
00:03:29I've traced down Charlie Chan.
00:03:31I want you to go get him.
00:03:33He's at the Chan Family Society on Washington Street.
00:03:36Do you want me to bring him here to the hotel?
00:03:38No. Bring him here.
00:03:40I've been followed every minute since I entered Chinatown.
00:03:43All right. Goodbye, Dad.
00:03:49Tell the rest of the story too long.
00:03:53Appears someone's a very busy person.
00:03:55Yes.
00:03:57You stay here. I'll get you some tea.
00:03:58Oh, Mr. Manning, what's happened? You hurt?
00:04:27No, Wong. But I've had another escape. Look there.
00:04:30And there.
00:04:32Let's get out of here until Chan comes.
00:04:34I'll get you some tea.
00:04:48German Mannlicher bullet.
00:04:50Many of these guns now available in country since recent unpleasantness with Mr. Hitler.
00:04:55Looks as though they'd carved the nose of it.
00:04:57Yes.
00:04:58Even so, would have been in the view, except for a bullet being deflected by window glass.
00:05:02How soon can you start for Arizona, Mr. Chan?
00:05:05Oh, well, that poses a little question, because my arrival in Arizona would give warning to enemies.
00:05:13But you must come as soon as you can.
00:05:15Someone's trying to kill Dad, and I feel I'm in danger too.
00:05:19Bad sign for a new year.
00:05:21You know, Charlie, I have an idea.
00:05:22Yes?
00:05:23The Lazy White Dude Ranch is only a half mile from my property.
00:05:26You could arrive there as a guest on a holiday and still be right at the scene of action.
00:05:29Dude Ranch?
00:05:30Oh, well, that idea certainly appealed to number two son Tommy and Birmingham.
00:05:35Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.
00:05:42It never is heard an encouraging word, and the cloud stays cloudy all day.
00:05:50A born cowboy, that's me.
00:05:54Two-gun Birmingham rides again.
00:05:56Oh, what am I talking about?
00:05:59Yeah, now, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee.
00:06:02Yeah, this is going to be a fine trip.
00:06:14That's great.
00:06:15Oh, now, wait a minute, Cheryl.
00:06:17What's the matter with this thing?
00:06:18I know I had it right.
00:06:21Packin' this baby every year.
00:06:23Ah, that's better.
00:06:25Now, here, let's get along.
00:06:28Wait a minute.
00:06:29This old car hide thing look like it's got some live car hide in it.
00:06:32Hiya, Birmingham, how do I look?
00:06:37Oh, man.
00:06:39Man, you sharp.
00:06:41You gone, you mad.
00:06:44Hey.
00:06:46How do I look?
00:06:47I'll have to let Pop tell you that.
00:06:49I can't wait till I hit those wide open spaces.
00:06:52The range, the little doggies.
00:06:54Hit that trail, hit the leather.
00:06:55Hey, wait a minute, Billy Kid.
00:06:56You come over here and hit me at this leather.
00:06:58Having trouble?
00:06:59Oh, I think you got too much stuff in it.
00:07:02No, this suitcase is too little.
00:07:04There.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:06Now, wait a minute, I did that before.
00:07:07You know, it popped right up in my face.
00:07:12Well, that did it.
00:07:14Oh, you got some stuff sticking out.
00:07:17We'll have to open it up here.
00:07:17Oh, no, don't do that.
00:07:19We'll never be able to close this thing again.
00:07:20Wait a minute, I'll fix that.
00:07:22This trouble's I had around here.
00:07:25Pull it up there.
00:07:27Turn it up, I'm going to fix it.
00:07:29We ain't going through all that trouble no more.
00:07:37I bet you this will do it.
00:07:39Oh, that'll do it.
00:07:42Now lay it down.
00:07:43Easy, easy.
00:07:45Easy now.
00:07:46Hold it now.
00:07:47Hold it.
00:07:48Oh.
00:07:50Phew.
00:07:51That did it.
00:07:53Good baby.
00:07:54What is the matter with this?
00:07:56What is the matter?
00:07:56You can't do this for me.
00:07:57You just can't do it.
00:07:59I ain't going to let it.
00:08:00Oh.
00:08:01Ooh.
00:08:02Can you look at this?
00:08:03Get it.
00:08:08Oh.
00:08:17Oh, my God.
00:08:19I wish the scenery was standing still so I could see some of it.
00:08:34Whoops.
00:08:35Mr. O'Brien, you've been drinking.
00:08:38Oh, somebody must have told you.
00:08:40Old gossips. That's my business.
00:08:42Have you any other kind of business?
00:08:44No, it's none of your business.
00:08:46Say, that's a pretty good one, ain't it?
00:08:48Yeah, sure.
00:08:49Yasha. Yasha.
00:08:51I must be drinking vodka and getting a Russian accent.
00:09:03Water.
00:09:04Hello, pal. How about having a drink on me?
00:09:23Thanks. I already have one.
00:09:25Give me one. Our name is O'Brien. Vincent O'Brien from San Francisco.
00:09:29I'm down here to try to straighten it up a little bit.
00:09:31Uh-huh. Mine's Driscoll.
00:09:34Driscoll? I heard that name.
00:09:36Oh, yes. You're the superintendent of that mine.
00:09:39Is it a golden eagle?
00:09:41No, it's the nickel plate. No, the diamond horseshoe.
00:09:44The golden eye.
00:09:45Oh, yes. The golden eye. Yes.
00:09:48Driscoll, huh?
00:09:48Uh-huh.
00:09:49Uh, Birmingham, please to take luggage to bungalow number nine and arrange suitable accommodation for self.
00:10:07Yes, sir.
00:10:07Where are you going, pop?
00:10:09Well, uh, earnestly desire to have a period of quiet contemplation by swimming pool.
00:10:14I'm going to have a period of quiet contemplation by the pool myself later.
00:10:17Yes, well, uh, personal reasons for contemplation differ from those of number two's son.
00:10:23Miner, that must be a very interesting business. Must be.
00:10:31You know, my father, my father was a miner.
00:10:34Oh, he was a miner. Way back in, uh...
00:10:36Oh, no, no. I guess it was my grandfather who was a miner.
00:10:42Yeah, but it wasn't my grandfather.
00:10:47Excuse me. He said, I got to see a book about a girl.
00:10:50Don't go away. I'll be right back.
00:11:20Oh, honey.
00:11:28What's your reading?
00:11:30A book.
00:11:31No, a book.
00:11:33So, you know, it's very bad.
00:11:34I'll just feel like this with the pretty eyes like you.
00:11:36Why don't you go over there with a nice sunshine and read the book?
00:11:39It's nice already.
00:11:41Thanks. I think that's just what I'll do.
00:11:44Oh, now, wait a minute, honey.
00:11:46Hey, please, I...
00:11:47Oh, don't go away mad.
00:11:52Nice girl.
00:11:59Hello, Charlie.
00:12:01Well, Lieutenant Mike.
00:12:03The first question, reliability of own eyesight.
00:12:06Vincent O'Brien, San Francisco playboy.
00:12:09Slowly but surely reaching the ragged edges of delirium treatment.
00:12:12Uh-huh.
00:12:14Then, uh, working on case.
00:12:16Yeah, I'll leave from the force to the government.
00:12:19And I'm playing this thing for all it's worth.
00:12:21I see.
00:12:22At first, think, Lieutenant Mike are giving Prohibition Party a kick in teeth.
00:12:27Hello, Mr. O'Brien.
00:12:28Well, hello, honey.
00:12:30Aren't you going in the water?
00:12:32Water? Oh, that's for codfish.
00:12:34Oh, no.
00:12:36Goodbye, honey. Have a nice time.
00:12:38Have a nice time.
00:12:39You down here on something?
00:12:42Yes.
00:12:43I'm endeavoring to unravel a small desert mystery.
00:12:47Yeah?
00:12:48Mr. Manning, head of Golden Eye Mine.
00:12:51Manning, huh?
00:12:53You know, Charlie, I think we're barking up the same tree.
00:12:56I'm scraping up an acquaintance with Driscoll over there.
00:13:00Superintendent of the mine.
00:13:02Where are you located?
00:13:04In bungalow number nine.
00:13:06Well, fine.
00:13:08I'll stagger over to see you after dark.
00:13:11Will, there's my friend over there.
00:13:12Don't go away now.
00:13:13I'm coming right over.
00:13:14Oh, boy.
00:13:33That was the closest.
00:13:34You see that?
00:13:34I almost went in.
00:13:35Hey!
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43Hold it.
00:13:45Hold it.
00:13:47Come on.
00:13:49Give me your hand.
00:13:51Come on.
00:13:51Come on.
00:13:51Wait.
00:13:52Wait in there.
00:13:55Come on.
00:13:58What did you say?
00:13:59Who pushed me?
00:14:00I was standing here by the way of my old business.
00:14:02Somebody pushed me.
00:14:02Come on.
00:14:03Sit down.
00:14:04Sit down, he's safe.
00:14:04Yeah.
00:14:05It's a fine thing.
00:14:07Out for enjoyment.
00:14:09Everything.
00:14:09You must have seen it with a step.
00:14:12Oh, bury me not on the long prairie, where the car is now and the wind blows free.
00:14:42Oh, well, I'd say you could.
00:14:54Come in, please.
00:15:00Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:02Hello, Charlie.
00:15:03Well, Lieutenant Mike, you know, I think you are overplaying your part of drinking man.
00:15:11In fact, I think you might say you go overboard.
00:15:15I see what you mean.
00:15:16I have a mouthful of news for you, Charlie.
00:15:18Your man, Manning...
00:15:19Has had accident.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:21How did you guess it?
00:15:22Well, Mr. Manning have series of accidents, including two days ago in San Francisco,
00:15:27when mysterious bullets come through window of curio shop.
00:15:30Yeah, well, they nearly got him this time.
00:15:31What happened?
00:15:32Fell down one of the shafts in the mine, badly bruised head and shoulders, and a possible skull fracture.
00:15:36Oh, you have much news, Lieutenant Mike.
00:15:39Yes, the doctor from Eldorado stopped to have his car gassed on the way to the Manning Ranch.
00:15:43I overheard him talking to the station attendant.
00:15:45I see.
00:15:46Well, I think I'd better go there at once.
00:15:48Tommy!
00:15:49Yes, Pop?
00:15:53People who listen at keyholes rarely hear good of themselves.
00:15:57Well, I knew we weren't up here on a holiday, Pop.
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Please tell Birmingham bring Carr around at once.
00:16:02Okay, Pop.
00:16:04Hello, Lieutenant Rourke.
00:16:05Hear, hear, young man.
00:16:06Watch your language.
00:16:07Cut out that lieutenant.
00:16:08I'm Vincent O'Brien down here.
00:16:10Oh, boy, is this interesting.
00:16:15Well, so much for so much.
00:16:18But, Lieutenant Mike, you have not yet told me why you are here.
00:16:22Well, Charlie, we're not as interested in Manning as we are the Goldeneye Mine.
00:16:26After many years of low returns, it suddenly turns out to be one of the biggest and richest mines in the country.
00:16:31I see.
00:16:32Well, any news of discovery of new vein or load?
00:16:36No, that's just it.
00:16:37And there's been no publicity on it.
00:16:39But the way the gold is floating into San Francisco, it's a bonanza.
00:16:42And it's just too good to be true.
00:16:44Well, very strange coincidence permits itself luxury of occurring.
00:16:49Mine suddenly become worth very much.
00:16:51Owner's life become worth nothing.
00:16:54Well, I must go to ranch.
00:16:56You come with me?
00:16:57No, I'd better stay undercover for the present, Charlie.
00:16:59Uh-huh.
00:16:59I got some of Driscoll's fingerprints off his glass.
00:17:02I want to send him up to San Francisco for identification.
00:17:04Oh, good.
00:17:06Small things sometimes tell very large stories.
00:17:09Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:14We'll not be long.
00:17:21Yes, sir.
00:17:29There's something phony, Jim.
00:17:31I don't understand it.
00:17:33Neither do I.
00:17:33The man's been down that shaft a thousand times.
00:17:49Yes?
00:17:49I'm Chan, a dealer in Oriental Curios.
00:17:53Meet Mr. Manning in San Francisco and have brought for him some objects of jade for his approval.
00:18:00Uh-huh.
00:18:01Come in.
00:18:01Thank you so much.
00:18:05My name's Driscoll.
00:18:09I'm manager of Mr. Manning's mine.
00:18:11Meet my wife, Mrs. Driscoll.
00:18:13Mr. Chan.
00:18:14How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:15Very charmed indeed.
00:18:17Mr. Bartlett, the local assayer.
00:18:19How do you do, Mr. Chan?
00:18:20Mr. Bartlett.
00:18:21Well, Jim, I think I'd better be running along.
00:18:23Tell Evelyn good night for me, will you?
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Good night, Margaret.
00:18:26Good night, Sal.
00:18:27Mr. Chan?
00:18:30Mr. Manning can't see you just now.
00:18:32I'd be glad to give you a receipt for that jade.
00:18:34Oh, very sorry, but I must deliver jade to Mr. Manning personally.
00:18:39That's impossible.
00:18:40He's had a serious accident.
00:18:42Oh, very unfortunate.
00:18:45Perhaps other member of family present?
00:18:50Just a minute.
00:18:51Sit down.
00:18:52Oh, thank you.
00:19:02Evelyn.
00:19:04Yes?
00:19:09There's a man out here, a Chinese.
00:19:11Says he's got some jade for your father.
00:19:15Very large ranch, Mr. Manning has.
00:19:17It's not so big compared to some of the others around here.
00:19:20Oh, so?
00:19:22This is Mr. Manning's daughter, Evelyn.
00:19:24Oh, a great day, Chan.
00:19:27Regret immeasurably to hear of unfortunate accident to parent.
00:19:31You, uh, have something for my father?
00:19:34Yes, uh, your father, a very old friend of Chan.
00:19:37Many of these objects come from valued collection in San Francisco.
00:19:41I've heard him mention your name.
00:19:43Oh.
00:19:43If you like, I can take the jade.
00:19:45I'll see that he gets it.
00:19:46Very sorry.
00:19:47But, uh, promised Mr. Manning to deliver jade to him personally.
00:19:50But that's impossible.
00:19:52Well, also impossible to give jade into other hands.
00:19:55But he's unconscious.
00:19:57He has been ever since his fall.
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:59Very strange accident.
00:20:01Uh, could possibly see father.
00:20:05Well, I, I guess it'll be all right.
00:20:08Come.
00:20:09Yes.
00:20:09Dr. Groves, this is Mr. Chan, an old friend of father's.
00:20:29How do you do, sir?
00:20:30How do you do, doctor?
00:20:32Injuries are very serious?
00:20:34Quite.
00:20:35Multiple contusions about the head and shoulders.
00:20:38It's impossible to tell just how bad without x-rays.
00:20:42I see.
00:20:43Uh, have, uh, any idea how far Mr. Manning fall?
00:20:47Oh, about 40 feet.
00:20:4940 feet.
00:20:50Anybody have any idea of cause of fall?
00:20:54None at all.
00:20:56There are iron rungs running down the side of that shaft.
00:20:59Mr. Manning's been up and done him a thousand times.
00:21:01Oh, well, uh, perhaps a case of, uh, too much familiarity breeds carelessness.
00:21:06I suppose so.
00:21:08Well, I must be going.
00:21:10I've written out full instructions and left medicine.
00:21:12I'll send a nurse out as soon as I get to town.
00:21:14That won't be necessary.
00:21:15I've arranged for a nursing sister from the mission school.
00:21:17Good.
00:21:18Nurses are at a premium nowadays.
00:21:21Mr. Manning will have to have opiates for several days as soon as he recovers consciousness.
00:21:25I've done all I can for him at the present.
00:21:27Uh, doctor, we'll accompany you to a car.
00:21:36Talbot had to go.
00:21:37He told me to say goodbye.
00:21:41You know, I'm going to have to rely on the two of you until dad's been there.
00:21:45I'm going to have to rely on the two of you until dad's been there.
00:21:46You can depend on both of us.
00:21:48Oh, thanks.
00:21:49Well, young Mr. Butler, a seer of precious metals.
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:13And when did Charlie Chan, the detective, become Mr. Chan, dealer in oriental art?
00:22:18Oh, so?
00:22:20Don't you remember Bartlett, a collector of customs in Honolulu?
00:22:23Oh, yes.
00:22:24Also remember young Mr. Bartlett, excellent first baseman who played with number one son on high school team.
00:22:31What are you doing down here, Charlie?
00:22:32Are you after gold or after Mr. Manning?
00:22:35Oh, well, young men seem to be very full of important information.
00:22:39Not much information, but an awful lot of suspicions.
00:22:43Are you after Manning?
00:22:45No, Chan not after Manning.
00:22:47Mr. Manning come after Chan.
00:22:49Very much afraid some enemy may be threatening life of same.
00:22:53Oh, yes?
00:22:54Yes.
00:22:55Possibility that fall down shaft of mine, not accident, but deliberate attempt at murder.
00:22:59Mr. Manning have several accidents, including someone shoot at him in San Francisco.
00:23:05You know, there's something strange going on at that mine.
00:23:08They're shipping an enormous amount of gold out of it lately.
00:23:11Yes, appear as though Mr. Manning well on the way to be a large millionaire.
00:23:16Exactly.
00:23:17Yes, very interesting circumstance.
00:23:21Yesterday an old prospector came in, not a very honest or reliable one, with some gold ore for me to say.
00:23:27I know enough of the geological formations in this part of the country to know that that ore came from the Goldeneye Mine.
00:23:33Oh, you can be sure?
00:23:35Yes.
00:23:37In fact, he finally confessed that he'd hijacked it from an old disused mine shaft running from a trap door beneath his shack.
00:23:43I guess there was quite a lot of hijacking in the old days.
00:23:46And now?
00:23:47Well, the mine hasn't been worth anything the past few years, but there are rumors that she's really paying off now.
00:23:53Uh-uh.
00:23:54Uh, what, uh, your assay show?
00:23:57I haven't finished it yet. I'll, I'll know more about it tomorrow.
00:24:01Possibly we'll pay you visit at that time.
00:24:03Fine.
00:24:05Well, I've got to be going along now.
00:24:08Uh, I, uh, I thought some of that information might be of value to you.
00:24:14Oh, yes, uh, information, very high-grade ore.
00:24:18Goodbye, Charlie.
00:24:19Goodbye, Mr. Butler.
00:24:20Goodbye, Mr. Butler.
00:24:50Hello, there.
00:24:54Oh, hello, Evelyn.
00:24:56Drop over to have lunch with me?
00:24:57At the Canton Cafe?
00:24:59Yeah, at Tomé and Louie's.
00:25:03How's your father?
00:25:04Just the same.
00:25:06He's still unconscious.
00:25:08The nursing sister get there yet?
00:25:09Oh, yes, she arrived almost immediately.
00:25:12She's a weird character.
00:25:14You can hardly get a word out of her.
00:25:16Talbot, has it ever occurred to you there might be something peculiar about the series of accidents Dad has had the past few weeks?
00:25:29So, you've been struck by that, too.
00:25:32Has someone else wondered about it?
00:25:34Yes, Charlie Chan.
00:25:36Chan?
00:25:37You mean Chan the Chinese curio dealer?
00:25:41No.
00:25:42Charlie Chan the great detective.
00:25:43Oh, compliment, very refreshing.
00:25:47Oh, hello, Charlie.
00:25:49Come on in.
00:25:50Well, thank you so much.
00:25:52Of course you met Miss Manning.
00:25:54Oh, yes.
00:25:55I've had extreme pleasure.
00:25:56On that father much better, I trust.
00:25:58No, he isn't.
00:26:00Oh, so sorry.
00:26:03Regret exceedingly was not present when last unfortunate mishap occur.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09It'll be a miracle if he recovers.
00:26:11Yes, true.
00:26:12But in any case, Miss Evelyn be a very wealthy young woman.
00:26:17Wealthy?
00:26:17What do you mean?
00:26:19Rumors say that mine now producing large quantities of gold in past few months.
00:26:25That's ridiculous.
00:26:26My father would have told me if that had been the case.
00:26:28The mine hasn't paid expenses for the past few years.
00:26:32Well, uh, desert present many mysteries.
00:26:51That's ridiculous.
00:26:53Oh, didn't know you had company.
00:26:56I'll come back later.
00:26:57Wait a minute, Pete.
00:26:58What do you want to see me about?
00:27:04Make an assay on that last ore I brought in?
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:07It's nothing.
00:27:09It won't run more than six dollars to the ton.
00:27:11That's impossible.
00:27:12That's supposed to be pretty high-grade stuff.
00:27:14Now, look, Pete.
00:27:15I know where you got that ore.
00:27:18Now, why don't you make a clean breast of it?
00:27:19How about Miss Manning over there?
00:27:23Anything I learn here will go no further.
00:27:26Uh, pardon, please.
00:27:28You gain entrance to mine through trapped ore in your shack?
00:27:33Maybe.
00:27:34How do you know, stranger?
00:27:37Well, uh, small investigation sometimes brings large amount of knowledge.
00:27:42This, uh, ore is from New Load, recently uncovered in mine.
00:27:46Ah, you're pretty sharp.
00:27:49That ore comes from the only new vein they've opened up in the past three years.
00:27:52Yes.
00:27:53And so far has proved to be most unprofitable.
00:27:57So Bartlett says.
00:27:59I don't figure it.
00:28:01Where's the gold coming from?
00:28:02So you've heard about that too, huh?
00:28:04Well, there's been whispers.
00:28:06So it's common knowledge now that the mine is a heavy producer.
00:28:10Well, some of the boys used to be, uh, pretty interested in the gold and ore.
00:28:15Uh, have keen desire to gain access to mine through a secret tunnel tonight.
00:28:21Well, I guess that can be arranged.
00:28:24My shack is at the bottom of Hay Canyon.
00:28:27But what's in it for me?
00:28:28You're lucky I don't turn you in for hijacking gold ore.
00:28:31Yes, we'll be at your shack shortly after dark.
00:28:35Oh, all right.
00:28:46Please do let me know as soon as Father able to talk.
00:28:49Yes, I'll do that.
00:28:51Thank you so much.
00:28:52I go now.
00:29:01What do you think you're going to find, Pop?
00:29:08Do not know.
00:29:09Many needles in this haystack.
00:29:11Some nobody room.
00:29:29Well, it's strange that the prospect is supposed to meet us here, not here.
00:29:47We'll go on with investigation without permission.
00:29:51Tommy, light light, please.
00:29:59Now, please remove rug.
00:30:13We'll find trapdoor underneath.
00:30:17Gee, Pop, you're right.
00:30:19You're surprised?
00:30:20Well, I...
00:30:21Please open.
00:30:29This ain't my idea of evening entertainment.
00:30:35Come, this way.
00:30:53All right.
00:31:02You go this way, I go that way.
00:31:04We meet back here.
00:31:06Mr. Chan, if you have to be a little late getting back and don't see me, don't worry, because I'll be way ahead of you.
00:31:12Come on, Birmingham.
00:31:13Don't rush me now.
00:31:14Don't rush me.
00:31:15You always rush on somebody.
00:31:23Spooky, is it?
00:31:24Shh!
00:31:29Don't rush me.
00:31:36Spooky, isn't it? Shh! Don't say that word!
00:31:56I mean, anything can happen down here.
00:31:58Uh-oh. Everything's done happen.
00:32:00What do you mean?
00:32:01Look at that. There's shoes.
00:32:03Wherever there's shoes, there's feet.
00:32:05And wherever there's feet, there's legs.
00:32:07And wherever there's legs, there's a body.
00:32:10Sure looks like it.
00:32:14Gee, I wonder if he's dead.
00:32:16I don't know. Don't care.
00:32:17It'll always remain a mystery to me.
00:32:19We gotta find out.
00:32:20You don't have to be curious, do you?
00:32:22Okay, you go and get Pop.
00:32:23Oh, yeah, I'll go get Pop. Wait a minute.
00:32:25You better come and go with me.
00:32:27No, I gotta stay and watch him.
00:32:28What you gonna watch him for? He ain't going nowhere.
00:32:30Okay, you stay. I'll go get Pop.
00:32:32Wait a minute. No, you won't. You stay. I stay.
00:32:34I've never been so undecided in all my life.
00:32:37Well, make up your mind. Do something.
00:32:38Do something. Don't tempt me, boy.
00:32:40You'll be left here alone.
00:32:42Okay, we'll go together.
00:32:43Oh, we go together. Wait a minute, now.
00:32:44Wait a minute. I'm going with you. Wait a minute.
00:32:46Don't push, Birmingham.
00:32:47Don't push you. Don't talk to me.
00:32:49Consult my feet.
00:32:50Oh, it sure is dark in here.
00:33:03Don't tell me it's dark and you scared, too.
00:33:05Look at that light shaking.
00:33:07That's your hand on my arm.
00:33:09Oh.
00:33:09Gee, I wonder where Pop is.
00:33:19I don't know. He went right in there.
00:33:20Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan.
00:33:22He'll never hear that.
00:33:23Hey, Pop!
00:33:24Hey, Pop!
00:33:25Hey, Pop!
00:33:26Hey, Pop!
00:33:26Hey, Pop!
00:33:28Good, Gracie.
00:33:28Somebody's in this tunnel.
00:33:29Come on, let's go this way.
00:33:30Hey, wait a minute. That's just an echo.
00:33:32Echo? What does he got to do with it?
00:33:33Ain't nobody talking to him.
00:33:34Mr. Chan!
00:33:35Mr. Chan!
00:33:36Mr. Chan!
00:33:37Mr. Chan!
00:33:38Mr. Chan!
00:33:39Mr. Chan!
00:33:41Uh-oh. That's that echo again.
00:33:42What is the matter? What is he trying to do?
00:33:43Get me excited or something like that?
00:33:46What is it?
00:33:46Oh, echo.
00:33:47Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:33:48We found something, Pop.
00:33:49A dead man in the tunnel.
00:33:50Yes?
00:33:51What does a dead man look like?
00:33:52Dead?
00:33:54Marvelous piece deduction.
00:33:56You show me.
00:33:57Mr. Chan, you all go ahead.
00:33:58I think I'll stay here.
00:34:00What am I doing here alone?
00:34:02Wait a minute for me.
00:34:06Here it is, Pop.
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:09Remove dirt from face.
00:34:11Huh?
00:34:11You heard what your father said?
00:34:20It's an old man.
00:34:21Yes.
00:34:22His old prospector who was supposed to guide us through mine.
00:34:26Murder, Pop?
00:34:27Maybe.
00:34:28Possibly not killed here, but a body brought here to be found.
00:34:32But why?
00:34:34Little knowledge, sometimes very dangerous thing.
00:34:36Oh, Mr. Chan, you want us to move the court?
00:34:38Oh, what do I say?
00:34:39The foolish things?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:41Willingness to speak not necessarily mean the willingness to act.
00:34:44No, we leave body as we find.
00:34:46Then not too many questions asked why we are here.
00:34:48As mentioned before, little knowledge, sometimes very dangerous possession.
00:34:52Come, we go.
00:34:53Hey, Pop, somebody frisked the joint.
00:35:06Well, yes.
00:35:12Looks like they're wise to us, Pop.
00:35:14Uh, correction.
00:35:15Rather imagine intruder was looking for non-existent jade.
00:35:19You know, good jade, uh, worth much money today.
00:35:23You straighten up, please.
00:35:24Hello, Lieutenant Mike.
00:35:40How are you, Charlie?
00:35:41What'd you find out of the mine?
00:35:43Oh, find that body of prospector who was supposed to show us through.
00:35:47Murdered?
00:35:48Possibly.
00:35:49Imagine he was possessor of very dangerous information.
00:35:52And, you know, think very likely Charlie Chan might find self in the same unenviable situation.
00:35:57Yeah, I'm practically in the same boat with you.
00:35:59Oh, no.
00:36:00Wealthy San Francisco playboy on spree.
00:36:02Much better disguised than Chinese curio dealer.
00:36:05Say, they really gave you a joiner going over, didn't they?
00:36:08Yes.
00:36:08Certainly did.
00:36:09You know, Charlie, I'm going to take a gander at that mine the first chance I get.
00:36:12Yes, uh, intend to make second investigation myself, possibly tomorrow night.
00:36:16I'll go with you.
00:36:17Two heads are better than one, you know.
00:36:19Well, uh, sometimes debatable point.
00:36:22However, we'll welcome assistance which has been very valuable in past.
00:36:26Oh, excuse me.
00:36:32Oh, hello, Mr. Butler.
00:36:33Hello, Charlie.
00:36:35Oh, uh, Mr. O'Brien, a guest here at ranch, and number two son, Tommy.
00:36:42Praise the nature.
00:36:44Now, Mr. Chan wants you to pardon the intrusion,
00:36:46but at night time, all the numbers look alike.
00:36:48Every one of them.
00:36:49But I want to once say one thing.
00:36:50You've got an interesting collection of jade.
00:36:53Very interesting.
00:36:54Very, excuse me, please.
00:36:58Pleased to meet you.
00:37:01Come here, please.
00:37:02Number two son, about to make self-scarce.
00:37:25Oh, gee whiz.
00:37:26Sit down, please.
00:37:31Well, Charlie, did you meet the old prospector, Pete, as you'd arranged?
00:37:34No, was not in the cabin.
00:37:37Yes, there's a mighty good reason for that.
00:37:40His body was found trapped under a fall in the mine a few hours ago.
00:37:43Yes, uh, body was also discovered by Chan and associates.
00:37:47Oh, uh, you were in the mine.
00:37:50Yes, but, uh, not make very much progress because, uh, fall of timber and ore,
00:37:55which suffocate prospector, also effectively block tunnel of mine.
00:37:59Why didn't you report finding the body?
00:38:01Well, thought perhaps presence of Charlie Chan and associates there had to explain.
00:38:07By the way, Charlie, uh, just who are your associates?
00:38:11Oh, number two son, Tommy, and chauffeur, Birmingham.
00:38:14Oh, yes.
00:38:16Uh, however, intend to make second investigation of mine as soon as possible.
00:38:20Tomorrow night?
00:38:22Possibly.
00:38:23Well, I got to be going, Charlie.
00:38:26Let me know what happens and if I can be of any more help, huh?
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Thank you so much.
00:38:31But the whole thing is so puzzling, Talbot.
00:38:38Father should have regained consciousness by now.
00:38:41Skull fractures are like that, Evelyn.
00:38:43In fact, it's a good sign, if anything.
00:38:45It means perfect immobility and quiet.
00:38:47But I'm sure I heard conversation in that room this afternoon.
00:38:51Father must have been conscious.
00:38:53Well, why didn't you go in and investigate?
00:38:55I did.
00:38:56Sister Teresa insisted that no one had been talking,
00:38:59that father was still in a coma.
00:39:01And he certainly seemed to be.
00:39:04That sister Teresa certainly is a peculiar person.
00:39:07You can't find out anything from her.
00:39:09Whether father is better or worse,
00:39:11whether the situation is dangerous or what.
00:39:14Have you told Charlie Chan about this?
00:39:16No, I haven't.
00:39:18Well, why don't you call him up and have him come over here?
00:39:20After all, you know, he was hired by your father
00:39:23to find out what this is all about.
00:39:25Yes.
00:39:25Yes, I think I will.
00:39:27That's gin.
00:39:37Again?
00:39:39Boy, you, you luckiest man I ever did see.
00:39:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:39:43I didn't see you pull that cane.
00:39:44Hello.
00:39:50Mr. Charlie Chan's bungalow.
00:39:53Mr. Charlie Chan, the great Chinese dee,
00:39:55dee, uh,
00:39:56dealers in Curio.
00:39:58Jade, Ivory, and what you call a mess.
00:40:00I'd like to speak to Mr. Chan, please.
00:40:02Mr. Chan is not in.
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:05Would you tell him that Miss Manning called?
00:40:07And I would like to see him as soon as possible.
00:40:09I'm sorry he ain't here,
00:40:10but I'll see that he gets the message right away.
00:40:13Yes, ma'am.
00:40:15It's a lady over the ranch who wants to see Mr. Chan pronto.
00:40:18Don't you mess with them cards,
00:40:20because I'll be right back.
00:40:25And another thing, Charlie,
00:40:27somebody was watching your bungalow
00:40:28when I left early this evening,
00:40:29and I have a hunch it was Driscoll.
00:40:31Uh-huh.
00:40:32Well,
00:40:32maybe so.
00:40:33Somebody seemed to have great interest
00:40:35in activities of Charlie Chan.
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:37Oh, yes.
00:40:38I received a telegram from San Francisco
00:40:40a little while ago.
00:40:41Driscoll has a criminal record.
00:40:43Good, good.
00:40:44Now we start to make progress.
00:40:47Come in.
00:40:51Uh, Mr. Chan?
00:40:52Yes.
00:40:53The lady at the ranch
00:40:54says she wanted to see you right away.
00:40:55Oh, good.
00:40:56Thank you, Birmingham.
00:40:57Please get car.
00:40:58We'll be with you immediately.
00:40:59Yes, sir.
00:41:01Well,
00:41:04more events may be taking place.
00:41:06By the way,
00:41:07expedition planned to mine tunnel tonight
00:41:09must be postponed.
00:41:10We'll see you later.
00:41:11Okay, Charlie.
00:41:16Sit down and relax, honey,
00:41:18or we'll have to be getting a nurse for you.
00:41:29Come in, Mr. Chan.
00:41:31Mr. Chan, I just felt that I had to send for you.
00:41:38Oh, very much complimented.
00:41:39Hello, Mr. Chan.
00:41:40Mr. Bartlett.
00:41:41I can tell you what's bothering me in a sentence, Mr. Chan.
00:41:44My father's supposed to be still unconscious.
00:41:47Yet, I'm certain that I heard a conversation in that room this afternoon.
00:41:51Well, perhaps a guest in house.
00:41:53There's been no one here.
00:41:54Well, let us seize upon the fact.
00:41:56Father unconscious, yet can talk.
00:41:59It looks that way.
00:42:01Perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the sick room.
00:42:03Oh, most admirable suggestion.
00:42:05All right.
00:42:05This way.
00:42:19Mr. Chan would like to take a look at father, Sister Teresa.
00:42:22His condition is unchanged.
00:42:29Perceive, however, you have changed bondages.
00:42:32That was considered necessary.
00:42:35The doctor was afraid of germs.
00:42:37The interior of the mine was probably alive with them.
00:42:40Oh, yes, of course.
00:42:41Possibly you were anticipating tetanus.
00:42:45Tetanus?
00:42:46Yes, tetanus.
00:42:49Lockjaw.
00:42:50Oh, of course, lockjaw.
00:42:52We have been afraid it might develop.
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:55What are doctors' opinion of continued state of coma?
00:42:59There's nothing to be done.
00:43:01I report to him twice daily by telephone.
00:43:06Uh.
00:43:08Perceive you have been injecting opiates into Mr. Manning.
00:43:13Why?
00:43:13If Mr. Manning should regain consciousness,
00:43:17he might become very violent because of terrific pain.
00:43:20Oh, so sorry.
00:43:31Oh, please pardon clumsiness.
00:43:34Very fortunately, a bottle not break.
00:43:37Thank you so much.
00:43:43Well, Charlie, what do you think?
00:43:51Well, much mystery here.
00:43:54Many questions only receive answer when Mr. Manning regained consciousness.
00:43:58If that ever happens.
00:43:59Yes, but have feeling everything now running toward logical conclusion.
00:44:04But must go now.
00:44:05Much to be done.
00:44:12Goodbye, Charlie.
00:44:18You know, he just doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:44:22Don't be impatient, Evelyn.
00:44:23Jan never shows his hand till all the chips are in the center of the table.
00:44:26Yeah, I don't know.
00:44:51Yes, sir.
00:44:51I don't know.
00:44:52I don't know.
00:44:53I don't know.
00:44:53Hurry up. There's the shipment.
00:45:01Pedro, help me carry this box.
00:45:04Wendell.
00:45:23Let's go.
00:45:39Let's go, gentlemen. Take care of your hands.
00:45:44Let's go, Pedro. We don't have much time.
00:45:53Hey, Pa. I got a message for you from the lieutenant.
00:45:57Yes?
00:45:58You spotted Driscoll in the bar. Then one of the men from the mine came in,
00:46:01said something to Driscoll, and the two of them left in a hurry.
00:46:03Uh-huh. What, uh, message?
00:46:04The lieutenant went up to the mine to do a little investigating.
00:46:06He go alone?
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Oh, not good.
00:46:09Uh, Birmingham, we go to Prospector Shack at bottom of canyon at once.
00:46:12Yes.
00:46:39That's all there is. Let's go.
00:46:42That's all there is. Let's go.
00:47:09Oh.
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:12You should find me.
00:47:14You don't have to go.
00:47:15I'm sure you're the king.
00:47:16Oh, Doc.
00:47:17He's scared.
00:47:18Oh, there's no one in my bedroom.
00:47:20You should be allowed.
00:47:21Oh, my God.
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:23Doctor.
00:47:24You should be able to find something for you.
00:47:25That's good, don't you?
00:47:26That's all.
00:47:27That's all.
00:47:28You should be able to find something.
00:47:29There's a lot of money.
00:47:30It's not quite a lot.
00:47:31You should have money.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:33Oh, my God.
00:47:34Yeah.
00:47:35Who has all been able to find a counteractual.
00:47:37I'm sure you made ańup of your old friends.
00:47:38What's the idea, bud?
00:47:58What are you doing down here?
00:48:00Oh, I thought I'd like to look the mind over.
00:48:03I guess I got lost.
00:48:04You got lost, eh?
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:06Well, get going.
00:48:08Let's go.
00:48:24Copper, eh?
00:48:29Lieutenant Rourke.
00:48:38I just conked a guy that was trailing you in the mine.
00:48:48And he's a copper.
00:48:49What?
00:48:50Yes.
00:48:50San Francisco police.
00:48:51Lieutenant Rourke.
00:48:52Come on.
00:48:53Let's get this stuff loaded fast.
00:48:55On your way, and don't stop for anybody.
00:49:09I don't need it.
00:49:10Now let's get in the mine and get that copper.
00:49:13Now let's get in the mine and get that copper.
00:49:43See you.
00:49:49He's heading for Peace Shack.
00:49:50You two go around and head him off.
00:49:52We'll stay here and battle up this end.
00:49:53Come on.
00:50:03Let's go.
00:50:03He's gone in the shack. The boys will take care of him. Come on.
00:50:13He's gone in the shack. The boys will take care of him. Come on.
00:50:33Come on. Come on.
00:50:43Look!
00:50:56Lieutenant Mike.
00:50:59Gun.
00:51:04Don't give me no gun.
00:51:07Okay, okay.
00:51:08We go get behind him.
00:51:34Lieutenant Mike, you all right?
00:51:36Oh, it's nothing.
00:51:37You know, Charlie, I think I have the answer to my problem.
00:51:39Yes?
00:51:40Yes, sir. To me, it seems like...
00:51:42Oh.
00:51:47We must get Lieutenant Mike to a doctor at once. Quick, Birmingham.
00:51:49Yes, sir.
00:51:56Well, did you get him?
00:51:57Get him. The woods in the canyon was full of guns.
00:51:59We were lucky to get back alive.
00:52:00Then the sooner we get out of here and head for parts unknown, the better.
00:52:03Wait a minute. We've got quite a slice coming to us from this operation.
00:52:06If they're going to close in on us, I'm in favor of letting the money go.
00:52:11Who's that?
00:52:19What's happened now?
00:52:20Plenty. We caught a San Francisco copper in the mine.
00:52:23The boys had him holed up in the prospect of the shack.
00:52:25Then the bushes became alive with guns.
00:52:27Was he a federal man?
00:52:28No, a detective lieutenant.
00:52:29Who were the others?
00:52:30We didn't have time to see.
00:52:31The bullets were popping around us like hailstones.
00:52:33It's about time we get out of this joint.
00:52:35You can't go till the second shipment comes in tomorrow night.
00:52:38When that's gone, you can go as fast and as far as you like.
00:52:40And what about our dough?
00:52:42You'll get it tomorrow night.
00:52:44And that's final.
00:52:47If that Chinese comes snooping around the mine,
00:52:49put a bullet into him and ask questions afterwards.
00:52:51He's got no right on company property.
00:52:53Well, situation getting much more simple.
00:53:00Gold worth $7 ounce in Mexico,
00:53:03worth $35 ounce in United States.
00:53:07Case one very simply of smuggling.
00:53:10Gold is brought in from Mexico,
00:53:12delivered to mine office on United States side
00:53:16as product of gold and I.
00:53:18Well, how does that explain the attempts on Manning's life?
00:53:20Well, not know for sure.
00:53:22But whoever in charge and must be a very important person
00:53:25certainly want Mr. Manning out of way.
00:53:27Yeah, and I've got a hunch it's Driscoll, the mine superintendent.
00:53:30Yes, could be.
00:53:32Certainly Driscoll would have to know about operations.
00:53:36Yet he very tried and trusted friend of Mr. Manning.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:40Say, what about that nursing sister?
00:53:42Oh, I have known for a long time that nursing sister, absolute imposter.
00:53:46Oh, then you checked.
00:53:48Oh, yes. Full staff of nurses in attendance.
00:53:50No Sister Teresa ever heard of.
00:53:52And incidentally, Mr. Driscoll never call nursing home for aid.
00:53:57Well, then all we have to do is move in on them.
00:53:59Oh, no, no. Much too soon.
00:54:01Too many questions must be answered before a puzzling case are solved.
00:54:05Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:54:06Oh, I got in touch with my friend Captain Gonzales of the Mexican border patrol.
00:54:09Oh, good.
00:54:10He's gonna post men on the Mexican side.
00:54:12He'll find out how they're getting that stuff into the mine.
00:54:14Uh-huh.
00:54:15Well, only wish Charlie Chan case as easily solved.
00:54:19Oh, cheer up, Charlie.
00:54:21The solution above one case may lead to the other.
00:54:23Yes, possible.
00:54:24But incidentally, think it very good idea if you go immediately to local police
00:54:29and establish your true identity
00:54:31because time very rapidly approaching where aid may be necessary.
00:54:35Say, I think you're right.
00:54:37I'll do that right away.
00:54:38Good.
00:54:47Lieutenant Mike, perhaps it would be better you stay in car and cover means of retreat.
00:54:51I think you're right, Charlie.
00:54:52I wouldn't be of much use with this bandage flipper of mine.
00:54:55Right.
00:55:01Let me go down first.
00:55:02I ain't arguing with you.
00:55:04Why number two son so anxious to leave?
00:55:06Well, I don't like the looks of this door being open.
00:55:08It might be a trap.
00:55:09They might be waiting for us to appear.
00:55:10Well, a dear should not toy with Tiger.
00:55:12But if number two son feel valorous, shall not deny him.
00:55:15Okay, Pop.
00:55:16The last couple of days I've been under the ground more than a groundhog.
00:55:21Let's go.
00:55:22Let's go.
00:55:23Go.
00:55:24Go.
00:55:25Go on.
00:55:26Not too much noise.
00:55:33Go.
00:55:41Now, this is where we separate.
00:55:44Uh, Mr. Chan, did I hear you say separate?
00:55:47Yes. Tommy, you take tunnel to right.
00:55:49Okay, Pa.
00:55:50I go straight ahead. Birmingham, you take tunnel to left.
00:55:53Uh, Mr. Chan, can we have times out in the aug at that point?
00:55:56No, we cannot. We must cover all tunnels as quickly as possible.
00:55:59I am very pressing because Keese now rapidly reaching conclusion.
00:56:02If you see something, you'll see.
00:56:05You'll see.
00:56:07Call out.
00:56:08Well, whatever happened to yelling and screaming?
00:56:10Please, commence.
00:56:11Yes, I'll do it, but my heart ain't in it.
00:56:13Tommy.
00:56:17What am I doing down here?
00:56:19Why, did I stay home?
00:56:21Yeah, I am all alone down here, Mr. Chan.
00:56:23I am all alone down here, Mr. Chan.
00:56:25I am all alone down here, Mr. Chan.
00:56:27I am very pressing because Keese now rapidly reaching conclusion.
00:56:30If you see something, call out.
00:56:32Call out?
00:56:33Whatever happened to yelling and screaming?
00:56:34Please, commence.
00:56:35Yes, I'll do it, but my heart ain't in it.
00:56:36Mr. Chan and I'm all going in there.
00:56:38Good condition.
00:56:39What am I doing in here?
00:56:41Mm, mm, mm.
00:56:58Oh, boy.
00:56:59A railroad track.
00:57:01Oh, boy.
00:57:02There ain't no train coming, cause if it do, there's gonna be a tight squeeze.
00:57:06Okay, now, look.
00:57:09Come, please.
00:58:10Uh-oh. I done found another one.

00:58:27Mr. Chan!
00:58:28Mr. Chan!
00:58:28Mr. Chan!
00:58:29This place is crowded.
00:58:30Let me out of here.
00:58:31Mr. Chan!
00:58:32Mr. Chan!
00:58:33Mr. Chan!
00:58:34Mr. Chan!

00:58:40Where is anybody?
00:58:41Where is somebody?
00:58:42What's the matter, Birmingham?
00:58:43I want to see you.
00:58:44I want to see your father.
00:58:45Where is Mr. Chan?
00:58:46Stop it!
00:58:47Stop it!
00:58:48You shout loud enough to wake sleeping dead.
00:58:49Mr. Chan, that's just what I've done.
00:58:50I've just seen it.
00:58:51You saw what?
00:58:52Straight all down in pajamas all wrapped up and ready to be delivered.
00:58:55Pajamas wrapped up?
00:58:56Yes, sir.
00:58:57All with the eyes.
00:58:58Good.
00:58:59You show us.
00:59:00Oh, yes, sir.
00:59:01I'll show you.
00:59:02Wait a minute, Tommy.
00:59:03You go ahead on and show them.
00:59:04You got a better light than I am.
00:59:05Go ahead now.
00:59:06Come on, Mr. Chan.
00:59:07I'll show you.
00:59:08Come on.
00:59:09They're going down the south shaft.
00:59:10Let's cut a course and keep an eye on them.
00:59:19There he is.
00:59:20Right in there, Mr. Chan.
00:59:21Birmingham, this is no time for foolish play.
00:59:23Where's Buddy?
00:59:24Well, it's right in there.
00:59:25Uh-oh.
00:59:26Well, it was in there.
00:59:27You sure you saw it?
00:59:28Mr. Chan, when it comes to the corpse, I do not make a mistake.
00:59:31Very strange.
00:59:32Dead men cannot walk.
00:59:33Well, we can run.
00:59:34Come on.
00:59:35Let's go.
00:59:36You know, believe that dead men probably Mr. Munning.
00:59:38The man who had the accident?
00:59:40Yes.
00:59:41Also, think it necessary we immediately go to Munning Ranch.
00:59:43Come.
00:59:44There's way out this way.
00:59:45That's the best thing that I can do is get out.
00:59:49Well, he went there.
00:59:51The car.
00:59:56Let's fill it up and push it down.
01:00:06Kick out that stop.
01:00:15Hey, Pop!
01:00:16Look!
01:00:17There's a truck loose.
01:00:21Let's go!
01:00:22Go!
01:00:39Mr. Chan, you talking about a shave?
01:00:41That's the closest shave I ever did have.
01:00:43You said it, Birmingham.
01:00:44Must hasten and get Lieutenant Mike and then go immediately to Munning Ranch.
01:00:48Case rapidly approaching climax when attempt life of Charlie Chan.
01:00:51And associates.
01:00:52Yes, come.
01:00:53Yes, sir.
01:01:02Wait a minute, Lieutenant Mike, please.
01:01:04Think it better if Charlie Chan go in alone to avoid suspicion.
01:01:08We'll give signal if necessary.
01:01:09Okay, Charlie.
01:01:21Gee, I hope Pop isn't walking into anything.
01:01:23Don't worry, Tommy.
01:01:24Your father be all right.
01:01:25Why put your head into a lion's mouth?
01:01:26Oh, come in, Mr. Chan.
01:01:28Oh, come in, Mr. Chan.
01:01:30Any new developments?
01:01:31Yes.
01:01:32Have just come from mine.
01:01:33Your father is...
01:01:34Yes.
01:01:35Dad's still unconscious.
01:01:36Pardon, please.
01:01:37You say father's still unconscious?

01:02:46Yes.
01:02:53Sister.
01:02:55Sister.
01:03:03You want it on the telephone.
01:03:19Hello.
01:03:20Pleased to keep eye on Sister.
01:03:28Yes, this is Sister Teresa talking.
01:03:30That Chinaman was in the mine tonight.
01:03:32And tell me you found it.
01:03:34What?
01:03:35I told you to be careful or something like...
01:03:42Yes, I'm so sorry to hear that.
01:04:02Get away from him.
01:04:13Well, look like Mr. Munning suddenly gets very long hair.
01:04:17Stand back.
01:04:19That did it.
01:04:20Uh-oh.
01:04:21Here we go again.
01:04:22Come on.
01:04:23Get up out of there.
01:04:24Well, thank you Lieutenant Mike.
01:04:25Arrive in nick of time as usual.

01:04:28Yes, Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:29Yes, Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:30Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:04:31I did it.
01:04:32Uh-oh.
01:04:33Here we go again.
01:04:34Come on.
01:04:35Get up out of there.
01:04:36Well, thank you Lieutenant Mike.
01:04:37Arrive in nick of time as usual.
01:04:38Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:39Yes, Mrs. Driscoll.
01:04:40Well, now can safely say that proof of identity throws dazzling light on entire mystery.
01:04:44But what happened to Father?
01:04:45Where is he?
01:04:46I'm very sorry to have to inform that honored Father, Mr. Munning, no longer promised Father
01:04:47to
01:05:14was found by diligent chauffeur of Chan in mine tunnel early this evening,
01:05:19but body spirited away by gang.
01:05:23Then Mrs. Driscoll impressed into impersonation
01:05:27to make Platt reach successful conclusion.
01:05:30Then Driscoll's our man. He's the head of the whole gang.
01:05:33Oh, Tommy will please answer telephone. I'm expecting important message.
01:05:45Hello?
01:06:05Okay, Captain Gonzalez. That's fine. I'll tell him.
01:06:14Well, ladies, afraid the masquerade party over. Sorry.
01:06:23I'd better go out and round up Driscoll.
01:06:25Yes, do so.
01:06:26Drop that gun.
01:06:28No, Lieutenant Mike. Drop it.
01:06:31Very clever, Mr. Chan.
01:06:34All right, Margaret and Jenny, let's get out of here.
01:06:37Put him up.
01:06:39Thanks.
01:06:42Good work, number two son.
01:06:44Get over there. Go on.
01:06:49Captain Gonzalez called. They grabbed the last shipment of gold at the mine
01:06:52and traced it to its origin.
01:06:53Good. And all evildoers now repose in arms of Mexican Border Patrol?
01:06:57Yeah.
01:06:58You're not going to pin all this on me, Chan.
01:07:02Where's that gun? I'll get that here.
01:07:09You see Driscoll?
01:07:11Yeah, I shot him while he was trying to make his getaway.
01:07:16Well, that takes care of him.
01:07:39What happened to Mr. Driscoll?
01:07:41Bartlett shot him while he was trying to escape.
01:07:45Tell me.
01:07:48Hold that.
01:07:51Well, that's that, Charlie.
01:07:52Looks like we wound up in another case.
01:07:54Driscoll was at the bottom of the whole thing.
01:07:56Uh, contradiction, please.
01:07:58Sorry to disagree, but this are not so.
01:08:01Real murderer and brains of whole gang are young Mr. Bartlett.
01:08:05Talbot!
01:08:06Yes.
01:08:08Mr. Bartlett, only one in possession of real identity of Charlie Chan from beginning.
01:08:13Very eager to help Charlie Chan.
01:08:15Also, very eager to lead activities up wrong channels at all times.
01:08:20Mr. Bartlett, number one suspect from very first.
01:08:23Also, possessor of very ambitious plan to wed Miss Manning
01:08:27and thus gain control of whole Goldeneye mine
01:08:30after unfortunate accident to father.
01:08:33But that can't be true, Mr. Chan.
01:08:35Unfortunately, yes.
01:08:37Mr. Bartlett, also mother of aged prospector
01:08:40and partner Driscoll whom he shoot in back.
01:08:44Ain't that something?
01:08:46Ain't that something?
01:08:48Good gracious of me.
01:08:50That's Mr. Chan all over.
01:08:52When you think it is, it ain't.
01:08:54And when you think it ain't, that's just when it is.
01:08:57Yes, when it is.
01:08:58Hee-hee!
01:09:02Hee-hee-hoo-ha!
01:09:07Ha-ha-ha!
