00:00:58And you, Phyllis Hamilton, do you take this man to be your legal, lawfully wedded husband,
00:01:05to love, honor, and obey until death do you part?
00:01:09I... I do.
00:01:11Oh!
00:01:13Explain it, Dr. Rayburn.
00:01:21Take her into the ante room.
00:01:23Yes, sir.
00:01:29Dr. Rayburn, I'm Pat Hunter from the Chronicle.
00:01:33Please, this is no time for interviews.
00:01:36Shall I telephone for the ambulance?
00:01:38No, the undertaker. She's dead.
00:01:58Hey, you can go now.
00:02:24Is that all?
00:02:25Gee, thanks.
00:02:28Good evening, Dr. Rayburn. I'm from the Forest Mortuary.
00:02:32Forest Mortuary?
00:02:34Why, two of your men just drove away with the body a few moments ago.
00:02:37Well, there must be some mistake. They weren't our men.
00:02:40Well, I've heard of ambulance chasing, but this is something new.
00:02:43New? It's sensational. Another kidnapping of a dead bride. What a story!
00:02:48What a story!
00:03:09And a few minutes ago, one of the men who helped remove the body of the mysteriously dead bride
00:03:14was apprehended by the police
00:03:16pride was apprehended by the police go on keep talking. But I told you I was
00:03:21standing on the corner minding my own business when along comes a step right
00:03:25him. A guy pokes his head out of the window and asks me if I want to make a couple of
00:03:29bucks. How many men were with that hearse? Two. Least all I could see. What did they look
00:03:33like? I don't know. It was dark. I didn't pay no attention to faces. You'll notice
00:03:38the license. What with two bucks staring me in the face? Come on tell the truth. What
00:03:43did you do with the corpse? I didn't do nothing with it. What I tell you is the truth. Sir, help me.
00:03:48As district attorney Mrs. Wentworth, I assure you there won't be any trouble. You can proceed
00:04:04with the wedding as planned. Well we want some assurance besides words. We want
00:04:08protection. I'll have plenty of men guarding the chapel and if I'm any judge
00:04:13of the appearance of your daughter she looks as healthy as she is beautiful. Oh really
00:04:17mother I think you're making much ado about nothing. You're not worried are you?
00:04:20Not in the least. Well if we have protection I'll feel much better about it. You'll have
00:04:26it all right Mrs. Wentworth. Tell Jones and Riley to wait I'll pick them up. That's the
00:04:37Wentworth mother and daughter isn't it? Is the wedding called off? Certainly not and
00:04:41there isn't going to be any trouble either. That's what all the rest of them thought. I
00:04:44can't answer for Mrs. Wentworth's health but your paper can print one thing and that is that
00:04:48there'll be no more theft of girls bodies. Yeah this will get you and Sammy into the
00:04:59wedding and I want plenty of photographs. Don't worry boss I got enough film to cover
00:05:03the Russian front. Oh Mr. Keenan you promised to take me off the society column. Oh quit
00:05:08beefing you're getting a break. This is the most exclusive wedding of the year. What if the
00:05:12Wentworth girl drops dead too? You'll still tell me what she's wearing along with the rest of the
00:05:16fancy pants. Get me the guest list and don't bother about anything else. I've got three men
00:05:21working with the police and there'll be plenty more thereabouts. If the bride pulls up this
00:05:25time there won't be any snatching. Now get going. What if I get a clue? Oh I wouldn't let that
00:05:30bother me sweetie pie. You wouldn't know a clue if it bit you. I'll remember those words stooge.
00:05:35Why are you so nervous mother? After all I'm the one that's getting married. Oh I just can't
00:05:50help it I'm so afraid something will go wrong. Forget it nothing can possibly happen. Oh Alice!
00:05:59Have you seen Dwight? Make it snappy we're late and this wedding won't wait for us. Can I help it
00:06:15if we had a blowout? Serves you right. Why don't you buy some new tires for this bus? You know I've
00:06:20been thinking of getting some. Hey are you kidding? Come on.
00:06:50Oh Dwight you mustn't come in here it's bad luck. Oh not even a peek? Not even one. You'll see me soon enough. You see? Girls do you mind if I have these last few minutes alone with Alice? Oh I know. Well mother you're about to lose me.
00:07:19I hope not forever dear. Of course not. What are you talking about? Do you feel all right dear? Certainly I never felt better in my life. You should forget all that silly nonsense about those brides dropping dead.
00:07:33Permission at work. Oh thank you. From Dwight no doubt. I'll wear this next to your heart darling. All my love. What an unusual orchid. Well I never saw one like it before.
00:08:04It's lovely. It's beautiful.
00:08:21The minister is ready Mrs. Wentworth. Thank you.
00:08:31Say a little prayer darling.
00:08:34You look faint dear. Do you feel all right?
00:08:37Yes.

00:41:29oh i'm sorry i thought you were up oh i've been up all night with dead people
00:41:33dead people what do you mean come in and i'll tell you
00:41:38what kind of a place is this last night i had the most horrible experience of my life
00:41:46what was it i saw lots of girls in crips down underneath this house
00:41:53barbie what was that you were saying miss hunter why have you a mausoleum in the basement
00:41:59mausoleum what are you talking about you know what i'm talking about all those dead girls and
00:42:05that horrible dead creature my dear you must have had a bad dream now look professor this was no
00:42:13dream when did you see all this shortly after i called you and told you about that horrible
00:42:18creature in my room is that true dr foster well i don't recall anything about it miss hunter you
00:42:23must be mistaken if i was dreaming it was the darndest nightmare i've ever had i slept very
00:42:28soundly myself miss hunter was rather upset i think when she retired you see in our dreams
00:42:34our minds play strange tricks on us sometimes yes i suppose so oh professor that orchid i brought
00:42:43up here to show you is gone i couldn't find it in my bag that's too bad perhaps you forgot to
00:42:49pack it will you be down soon yes right away are you coming doctor of course
00:43:19so
00:43:30shall we go into breakfast no thank you i've got to get back to the city
00:43:34will you drive me to the station dr foster i'll be glad to but what about the interview
00:43:38well that'll have to wait until some other time i just remembered an appointment at the office
00:43:42so i've got to catch the next train you'll excuse me countess yes i will excuse you
00:43:49oh professor do you also make a hobby of collecting coffin why yes in a manner of
00:43:54speaking i find a coffin much more comfortable than a bed many people do so my dear is it so
00:44:02strange that i accept one while waiting for eternal rest no i suppose not well thank you
00:44:09for your hospitality goodbye i trust we will meet again it has been so nice meeting you
00:44:25don't tell me i'm still dreaming what do you mean that gravedigger he's real isn't he
00:44:34oh he's real all right but i hardly think he's a gravedigger
00:44:37more likely laying the foundation for a house you're a trusting soul aren't you doctor
00:44:42is that a crime no on the contrary i envy you are you trying to make me believe you're one
00:44:47of those hard-boiled reporters that we read about or see in the movies
00:44:49no but working on a newspaper one becomes cynical and suspicious
00:45:08oh
00:45:12well i've enjoyed meeting you miss hunter i hope to have a pleasure seeing you again
00:45:15i have a hunch you will dr foster oh tell me just why did you come up here or is it the secret
00:45:23it is but somehow i feel that i can trust you you can you've heard of the case of the vanishing
00:45:31why surely i think i have a clue you don't mean that you suspect yes i do
00:45:37want to show you something what are these why they're orchids of course you bet they're orchids
00:45:45and they didn't grow in my dreams they're exactly like the one that disappeared from my bag
00:45:50where did you get them i found them on the floor beside my bed this morning
00:45:54the person who came into my room last night must have brought these with him
00:45:57that seems like a logical explanation there's no question about it honestly doctor don't you
00:46:03remember meeting me in the hallway last night no i don't and if i did i i must have been asleep
00:46:10either that or you were hypnotized yes that's quite possible
00:46:15well watch your step and if you discover anything phone me that's a promise goodbye not goodbye
00:46:29all right print the story on page one keep your fingers crossed that this paper isn't
00:46:33suitable liable by some of these phony suspects that the police are bringing in
00:46:36well i got me a rope out of the guy they just brought in i don't want photographs
00:46:41well i got me a rope out of the guy they just brought in i don't want photographs i want real
00:46:45clues the da's office can't pick up the mad man who's stealing the bodies of these dead girls
00:46:50maybe we can okay i'll throw it in a wastebasket no i'll have it developed well where's lefty over
00:46:57at central station the only thing he gets over there is a game of gin and rummy tell him to get
00:47:01back here well i got something i'll say you have your fire what do you mean you can't do that to
00:47:05me listen just because the bodies of dead girls disappear is no reason why you can do a vanishing
00:47:10but you gave me the assignment yeah i suppose i did all right where have you been what have you
00:47:14uncovered hey not so fast listen mr keenan last night i went through the most gruesome experience
00:47:19of my life you should talk all my life has been a nightmare well you can rest easier now because
00:47:24i've seen plenty if i can only prove i wasn't dreaming dream i had a dream last night myself
00:47:31i dreamed you gave me that raise you've been promising me all right madam zora go on with
00:47:35your dream story well there's a certain professor lorenz that lives upstate he knows all about
00:47:41orchids but insists that he doesn't grow them anymore yet i found these in my bedroom this
00:47:45morning listen dizzy you didn't go off someplace and get married did you no i didn't but i saw the
00:47:51bodies of those other missing brides all right now take it easy stop breathing hard pat and tell
00:47:58me all about it did you really see any bodies yes and no i see just a bit of ectoplasm i'm sure i
00:48:07did though only oh i can't explain it yeah you're suffering the same way i am i see brides everywhere
00:48:13here wedding bells ringing in my ears i saw a dead man too a monstrosity you very well
00:48:22i'd like to see miss hunter oh i'm sorry she's busy she's with mr keenan it's very important
00:48:27that i see her i'm dr foster i wonder if you'd mind announcing me
00:48:32mr keenan there's dr foster here insists on seeing miss hunter tell him he can have all
00:48:38of her time from now on that's the dr foster i was telling you about maybe he has more evidence
00:48:44all right send the sore bones in hey look if you don't mind i'm going out for a nervous breakdown
00:48:50well doctor you almost beat me here yes i drove down dr foster mr keenan my editor
00:48:55very glad to meet you how do you know this cub reporter of mine has been telling me a weird
00:48:59story about a certain dr lorenz up in your neighborhood it's weird all right but i'm
00:49:03confident it's true after you left i looked around the station to find out if lorenz had
00:49:07any of the coffins assigned to him i found a consignment all right instead of a coffin it
00:49:12was a box filled with this stuff
00:49:16so what that's ordinary garden moss it's moss all right but not ordinary this is a special type
00:49:22used by florists and hybridizers for growing orchids it's called osmondon which proves that
00:49:27he does grow orchids like these and the same kind were worn by every one of the brides that died
00:49:32well maybe it is a clue but how do i know that the rest isn't a cockeyed nightmare
00:49:36she admits that you don't remember talking to her i could have talked to her one in the
00:49:40hypnotism oh now wait a minute are you trying to tell me that this professor lorenz is a
00:49:45hypnotist as well as a horticulturist why not my short acquaintance with him has convinced me
00:49:50that he's a man of unlimited talents he's strange peculiar i've even suspected him of being insane
00:49:56but the fact remains he's not only a doctor but a physicist and a scientist of great ability
00:50:01how about this hot-headed wife of his i hesitate to bring her into the case at all
00:50:05how about this hot-headed wife of his i hesitate to bring her into the case at all
00:50:09professional ethics forbids a doctor talking about his patients oh forget about your ethics doctor
00:50:15after all we're after a criminal how does this woman fit into the picture oh and tell us all you
00:50:20know the peculiar fact about her is that although she has the appearance of a young woman her heart
00:50:25and arteries indicate that she's at least 70 or 80 years old well that doesn't explain anything
00:50:31certainly doesn't explain why dr loren should steal these dead girls it's possible they may
00:50:35still be alive alive in a cataleptic state that's it all right all right what are your other
00:50:40deductions well simply this these young girls whether dead or alive are being used by lorenz
00:50:46in some manner as human guinea pigs to sustain his wife in a youthful state oh that's preposterous
00:50:51it's nothing of the kind scientists are finding out every day that glands and hormones have a lot
00:50:56to do with life and health the glands in our bodies help determine the condition of our teeth
00:51:00the texture of our hair all right we'll admit all that but i wouldn't dare print such a fantastic
