00:05:37I can't possibly raise that amount of money.
00:05:40Yes, I know I owe it to you, but a quarter of a million dollars?
00:05:45Be reasonable.
00:05:48Now, please be patient.
00:05:50I have a plan, but it's only just started.
00:05:54Give me time to work it out, and I'll repay you dollar for dollar.
00:05:58Hello.
00:06:07I want to set a radiogram, please.
00:06:26Do you want the radiogram, please?
00:06:29Miss Norma Denby. Diaz in Denver.
00:06:33Aboard SS Paris.
00:06:36Regret unable to meet you at boat.
00:06:39Vitally important that I see you at my home tomorrow evening without fail.
00:06:46Sign it fondly, Uncle Walter.
00:06:51Read that back, please.
00:07:06I'm Norma Denby.
00:07:19Mr. Stevens is expecting you, Miss Denby.
00:07:23May I take your coat?
00:07:24Oh, no, thank you.
00:07:25I'll keep it on.
00:07:26Nice, cozy little place your uncle has here.
00:07:27He likes it.
00:07:28He'd have to live in it.
00:07:29This way, please.
00:07:30Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, if it isn't the prodigal niece.
00:07:37Oh, it's swell seeing you again, darling.
00:07:38Good to see you again, too, dear.
00:07:39I took the liberty of bringing along my conquest.
00:07:40Good.
00:07:41I'm glad you did.
00:07:42This is Jack, Uncle Walter.
00:07:43This niece of mine isn't much of a correspondent.
00:07:44What few letters she did write, though, were full of you.
00:07:45Congratulations, young man.
00:07:46Thank you, and I hope you'll excuse me for barging in like this.
00:07:47No, I'm sorry.
00:07:48I'm sorry.
00:07:49I'm sorry.
00:07:50I'm sorry.
00:07:51I'm sorry.
00:07:52I'm sorry.
00:07:53I'm sorry.
00:07:54I'm sorry.
00:07:55I'm sorry.
00:07:56I'm sorry.
00:07:57I'm sorry.
00:07:58I'm sorry.
00:07:59I'm sorry.
00:08:00I'm sorry.
00:08:01I'm sorry.
00:08:02I'm sorry.
00:08:03I'm sorry.
00:08:04I'm sorry, Uncle Walter.
00:08:05This niece of mine isn't much of a correspondent.
00:08:07What few letters she did write, though, were full of you.
00:08:09Congratulations, young man.
00:08:10Thank you, and I hope you'll excuse me for barging in like this.
00:08:12Nonsense.
00:08:13I'm delighted.
00:08:14I was more than pleasantly surprised to hear that you set your marriage for June.
00:08:17Do you realize it's only a month away?
00:08:19Well, we decided we didn't want to rush things too much, so...
00:08:22So we put it off until...
00:08:23The day after tomorrow.
00:08:25The day after tomorrow.
00:08:27Does that startle you?
00:08:29Why...
00:08:30Why, no, no, that's fine.
00:08:33That's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about.
00:08:36But I'm forgetting my role as host.
00:08:38Sit down, my dear.
00:08:39Sit down.
00:08:41We may as well come to the point.
00:08:44Perhaps you'd rather talk to Norma alone, Mr. Seacrest.
00:08:46No, no, no.
00:08:47Not at all.
00:08:48As Norma's future husband, what I have to say concerns you too.
00:08:52Now, as Norma knows, she and I were named joint heirs under the terms of her father's will.
00:08:58And until she marries, I'm the executive of her estate.
00:09:02Now, should anything happen to either of us, why then, the survivor only had its entire estate.
00:09:07And I think that you, Norma, and you, Jack, as her future husband, should know of what that estate consists.
00:09:12To that end, I've prepared a record of the estate's holdings.
00:09:16And I want to talk it over with you both after dinner.
00:09:18But your radiogram said there was something urgent.
00:09:21Well, if it hadn't been urgent, I wouldn't have sent it.
00:09:26Something's worrying you. What is it, Uncle Walter?
00:09:29Well, perhaps I'm unduly alarmed, but last night I received this note of warning from the gorilla.
00:09:38The gorilla?
00:09:40You mean that murderer, the one the papers have been so full of?
00:09:43I do.
00:09:45But isn't it possible that this is all just a joke?
00:09:48That someone's playing a prank on you?
00:09:50I wish I could think so.
00:09:51But, Uncle Walter, why should he or anyone want to kill you?
00:09:54I don't know.
00:09:55Oh, it's possible that some old enemy of mine, I admit I have many enemies in my day,
00:10:00it's possible that one of them, in a spirit of revenge, has hired this maniac,
00:10:04this professional killer, or whatever the gorilla is.
00:10:07But this note is exactly like the one that was in the newspapers,
00:10:10after he murdered that widow.
00:10:12Stella, I can't bring myself to believe it.
00:10:15Of course you've notified the police.
00:10:18No, I haven't.
00:10:20But surely if there was anything in all this...
00:10:22I've taken other precautions.
00:10:23Peters and I are armed.
00:10:25And in addition, I've engaged the services of a private detective agency.
00:10:28Their operative should be here any moment now.
00:10:30Oh.
00:10:31Well, obviously this gorilla is no ordinary murderer at all.
00:10:35And, judging by his past, shall we say, successes,
00:10:39it is apparent that the workings of the police were an open book to him.
00:10:42Of course, there's a slim chance that, by not notifying the police,
00:10:46we might upset his plans.
00:10:48Ordinarily, I'm not easily frightened,
00:10:50but I must admit this whole affair is giving me the creeps.
00:10:53Well, it's only nine o'clock, and I suppose you freshen up a bit,
00:10:56we'll talk it over after dinner.
00:11:02Oh, Kitty.
00:11:03Show Miss Dim into the green room and Mr. Marsden into my room.
00:11:06Yes, sir.
00:11:07Don't worry, Uncle Wold.
00:11:11Oh, excuse me, Mr. Stevens.
00:11:13Yes, Kitty?
00:11:14Oh, I know it's customary to give notice.
00:11:17Why, Kitty, you're not trying to tell me you're going to leave me.
00:11:19Oh, no, sir. I'm trying to tell you I have left you.
00:11:21Kitty, you're perfectly safe here.
00:11:23Besides, we have guests.
00:11:25You haven't the heart to leave me now.
00:11:27Well, my heart is willing,
00:11:28but I'm going to have an awful time trying to convince the rest of my body.
00:11:53I'll bet there's a dead body in every room.
00:12:09That body won't hurt you.
00:12:11Can't do you any good.
00:12:12Well, what are we waiting for?
00:12:15Let's go.
00:12:20Who'll get it?
00:12:21You!
00:12:22You're terrific tonight, Chief.
00:12:23Make a note of that.
00:12:24Keep doing that once in a while.
00:12:25It keeps me on edge and thinking.
00:12:26Right.
00:12:28Now, what do you suppose they want to take this for?
00:12:30I've got an idea.
00:12:31Let's go in and find out.
00:12:32You're terrific.
00:12:39The joints are speakeasy.
00:12:40Who are you?
00:12:49Me?
00:12:50Why?
00:12:51I'm Peter, sir.
00:12:52Never mind that.
00:12:53Never mind that.
00:12:54What's your name?
00:12:55Peter, sir.
00:12:56Just a minute.
00:12:57Just a minute.
00:12:58Where were you last night?
00:12:59I beg you pardon?
00:13:00Oh, so you did do something.
00:13:02I don't like your looks.
00:13:03What's that got to do with it?
00:13:05This is no beauty contest.
00:13:06Shh.
00:13:24Who's Stevens?
00:13:25I am.
00:13:26I'm Harrigan.
00:13:27I'm Mulligan.
00:13:28I'm Garrity.
00:13:29Harrigan.
00:13:30Mulligan.
00:13:31Garrity.
00:13:33I have sent for you because I need protection.
00:13:35My life's been threatened.
00:13:36Now, tell me.
00:13:37Any clues?
00:13:38One very vital one.
00:13:39This warning from the gorilla.
00:13:40That's well.
00:13:41You've got nothing to worry about.
00:13:42Mark that down, Garrity.
00:13:43Frank.
00:13:44How do you spell gorilla?
00:13:45Two R's or two L's?
00:13:46Gorilla.
00:13:47Gorilla.
00:13:48G-O-R-G-G-O-O.
00:13:51G-O-O.
00:13:52G-O.
00:13:53Gorilla.
00:13:55Did you.
00:13:56Did you.
00:13:57Did you say gorilla?
00:14:00Why, gentlemen, you're not afraid.
00:14:02Oh, we're not afraid.
00:14:03Oh, no.
00:14:04We're not afraid.
00:14:05We shall support maybe if we...
00:14:06Thank you very much.
00:14:07The gorilla coming here?
00:14:08It was nice to have met you, Mr. Stevens.
00:14:10Quiet!
00:14:11Quiet!
00:14:12Quiet!
00:14:13I, uh...
00:14:15I've already taken the precaution of arming my servant and myself.
00:14:18And I think you'll find that every door and window is securely bolted.
00:14:21I couldn't have done better myself.
00:14:23With us on the job, Mr. Stevens, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:14:25What's your plan, Mr. Harrigan?
00:14:26Well, first we'll take a look around the house.
00:14:27Come on, then.
00:14:28Now you just sit tight, Mr. Stevens.
00:14:30The gorilla will get you over our dead bodies.
00:14:31Dead bodies.
00:14:32Jack!
00:14:33Yes, darling?
00:14:34Who are those men?
00:14:35Probably the detectives your uncle hired.
00:14:36Jack, I'm terribly worried about you.
00:14:37I'm too worried about you.
00:14:38Oh, I'm too worried about you.
00:14:39Well, I'm too worried about you.
00:14:40Well, I'm too worried about you.
00:14:41I'm too worried about you.
00:14:42I'm too worried about you.
00:14:43Jack!
00:14:44Yes, darling?
00:14:45Who are those men?
00:14:46Probably the detectives your uncle hired.
00:14:47Jack, I'm terribly worried.
00:14:48What are we going to do?
00:14:49Well, it seems there isn't anything we can do yet.
00:14:50Listen, darling.
00:14:51It isn't that I'm trying to appear skeptical.
00:14:52It's just that, well, somehow I can't make myself believe all this.
00:14:53But that note.
00:14:54You saw the note.
00:14:55Of course I did.
00:14:56But still, I...
00:14:57Look, darling.
00:14:58We'll wait.
00:14:59We'll wait and see if something really does happen.
00:15:18But what if it does?
00:15:19I just don't believe it will.
00:15:22Jack.
00:15:27Excuse me sir. I tried to put your car away, but unfortunately there's something wrong with it.
00:15:34What do you mean?
00:15:36It won't start. Excuse me sir.
00:15:44He gives me the creeps.
00:15:46He doesn't exactly give me an appetite either. I wouldn't let him worry me if I were you.
00:15:50Honestly darling, don't you think there's any cause for alarm?
00:15:53I'm afraid I don't.
00:15:57Oh, there you are. Another sherry before dinner?
00:16:03Thank you, no.
00:16:23Uncle Walter, how long have you had that butler?
00:16:26Not very long. Why?
00:16:28Well, are you sure he's all right?
00:16:30I've found him so. Why?
00:16:32Well, because I...
00:16:34Dinner is served sir.
00:16:36Oh, shall we go in?
00:16:38You'd better drink a little of that kitty. It'll quiet your nerves.
00:16:50Why? Can you hear them?
00:16:51Oh, here, take it.
00:16:53What my nerves really need is a good long trip.
00:16:55Here.
00:17:04Now look here, where were you last night?
00:17:06Me? Why I...
00:17:07Answer yes or no.
00:17:08I was...
00:17:09What were you doing there?
00:17:10Doing where?
00:17:11Well, how do we know?
00:17:12Besides, I don't like your looks.
00:17:13Did you ever take a good look at yourself?
00:17:15Yeah, did you ever take a look?
00:17:16Here, now wait a minute you.
00:17:17Where were you last night?
00:17:19I spent the night with Shakespeare.
00:17:21Yeah? Where is he?
00:17:22He's dead.
00:17:23Dead?
00:17:24A murder mystery.
00:17:26Have you any idea who did it?
00:17:28Look, Shakespeare's been dead hundreds of years.
00:17:31Hundreds of...
00:17:32This is a fine time to call us in on the case.
00:17:34Say, but she couldn't have done it.
00:17:36How do you know?
00:17:37She can't be hundreds of years old.
00:17:39That's right.
00:17:40Mark that down, Garrity.
00:17:41Yeah, what do we do now, Chief?
00:17:42Oh, you two have a look out there.
00:17:43I'll look here.
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:57What's this?
00:17:58That's a door.
00:17:59It leads to the back stairs.
00:18:01Back stairs?
00:18:02Well, remind me to have a look up there sometime.
00:18:12That's an ironing board.
00:18:13Yes.
00:18:15That's an ironing board.
00:18:17Look, do you want this thing?
00:18:19Certainly we want it.
00:18:20What do you think we iron on?
00:18:21Yeah, why, sir?
00:18:23Well, here, take it!
00:18:25Harrigan!
00:18:26Harrigan!
00:18:27Harrigan!
00:18:28Come in here!
00:18:29We found it!
00:18:30You found what?
00:18:31The mystery.
00:18:32Well, that's hash.
00:18:33Ain't that a mystery?
00:18:34It's a pretty good title, Chief.
00:18:35I'll be the judge of that.
00:18:37I'm afraid, gentlemen, you won't find the gorilla in there.
00:18:40Why will we not find the gorilla in there?
00:18:45Now, listen, you!
00:18:46I've hit you!
00:18:54Let that be a lesson to you.
00:18:56Perhaps you gentlemen had better look outside for clues.
00:19:00Maybe he killed Shakespeare.
00:19:02Mark that down, Garrity.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:04Look, how do you get out of here?
00:19:09That's what I'd like to know.
00:19:10And where's the back door?
00:19:11In back of you.
00:19:12In back of me.
00:19:13Oh!
00:19:14Oh!
00:19:15In back of the door.
00:19:16Don't you recall that the paper said the gorilla always sends a warning to as many as half a dozen people at the same time?
00:19:28To sort of throw the police off.
00:19:30Maybe that's what he's doing now.
00:19:32Perhaps it's just a ruse.
00:19:33Well, let's hope so.
00:19:34You know, it's wonderful how much more optimistic a good dinner can make one feel.
00:19:39Shall we have liqueurs in the study?
00:19:47Uncle Walter!
00:19:48Leave us, bring us alive, quickly!
00:19:49Jack!
00:19:50What happened?
00:19:51Uncle Walter, are you hurt?
00:19:52I know.
00:19:53No.
00:19:54I don't know what happened.
00:19:55Look here.
00:19:56It seems to have been thrown in through that window.
00:19:58Oh, Uncle Walter.
00:19:59What are we going to do?
00:20:01The first thing we're going to do, or rather Jack is going to do, is to take you away from here.
00:20:14Well, you're coming with us.
00:20:16Ah!
00:20:17It's him!
00:20:18It's him!
00:20:19Uncle Walter!
00:20:20Who is it?
00:20:22Oh!
00:20:23It's all right.
00:20:24He's one of those detectives.
00:20:25He'd give me a turn.
00:20:26Do you see that face?
00:20:27I'll bet when he gets drunk, snakes see him.
00:20:29What's the matter with you scathing us half to death?
00:20:30I'm just trying to let you know I'm not the gorilla.
00:20:31This is my niece, Miss Dambi, and her fiancé, Mr. Marsden.
00:20:33Harrigan, Mulligan, and Garrity.
00:20:35Hi, my dear.
00:20:36This is the matter.
00:20:37It seems to me much more serious than I thought.
00:20:40I've just received this from the gorilla.
00:20:41A note.
00:20:42Who brought it?
00:20:43No one brought it.
00:20:44No one brought it.
00:20:45It's not a good night.
00:20:46I'm not a good night.
00:20:47You're not a good night.
00:20:48I got a bad night in the morning.
00:20:49You're not a good night.
00:20:50No one brought it.
00:20:51Oh, my dear, I'm not a good night.
00:20:52Not a good night.
00:20:53I'm just gonna let you know of this.
00:20:54That's a bad night.
00:20:55You're not a good night.
00:20:56I'm a good night.
00:20:57The night is a good night.
00:20:58I'm a good night.
00:20:59All right, you're a good night.
00:21:01A note. Who brought it?
00:21:03No one brought it.
00:21:05It was thrown in through that window.
00:21:06Through that window?
00:21:08Through that window.
00:21:12He's right.
00:21:14Wait a minute.
00:21:16This is my good ear.
00:21:20Oh, say, that's right.
00:21:21You can't kid us.
00:21:22We were outside patrolling the grounds.
00:21:24What do you mean?
00:21:25I thought no one couldn't have come through that window.
00:21:27But why not?
00:21:28Well, I'll just show you.
00:21:29Stand back, ma'am.
00:21:31That's why.
00:21:34But it was wrapped around a stone.
00:21:35A stone?
00:21:36A stone?
00:21:37Well, why didn't you say so?
00:21:39Anyway, what do you know about this thing?
00:21:40Well, I don't know anything about it.
00:21:42We were preparing to leave the room,
00:21:43and suddenly the lights went out,
00:21:45and then there was a crash, and...
00:21:46Oh, so the lights went out, huh?
00:21:48Make a note of that, Gerardy.
00:21:49Right.
00:21:50You were outside a few minutes ago.
00:21:51Didn't you see anybody?
00:21:53Nobody but us.
00:21:54Say, this note says at midnight.
00:21:55At midnight?
00:21:56Yeah.
00:21:56What time is it now?
00:21:58It's 10.30.
00:21:59I got 11.10.
00:21:59I got 11.30.
00:22:00It's exactly 11.45.
00:22:04Remind me to put some hands on this watch.
00:22:06Yes.
00:22:06Well, make a note of that, Gerardy.
00:22:07Right.
00:22:08Now, look.
00:22:08The gorilla's after Stevens.
00:22:10We'll have to keep an eye on him.
00:22:11Everybody enter the study.
00:22:12Come on, let's go.
00:22:14Who said that if you give a criminal
00:22:16enough rope, he'll hang himself?
00:22:18You, Chief.
00:22:18Oh, that's where I heard it before.
00:22:20Oh, come on.
00:22:20Never mind.
00:22:33Oh, I won't do that.
00:22:35Now.
00:22:37My name is Mr.
00:22:39Okay.
00:22:39Now, I will be.
00:23:41Now that you're all here, I don't want anybody to move.
00:23:43Understand?
00:23:43Is it all right if I breathe?
00:23:45Yes, but come right back.
00:23:47Quiet.
00:23:48Personally, I don't believe the gorilla's coming here.
00:23:50Neither do I.
00:23:52Why not?
00:23:53I'll give you three good reasons, pal.
00:23:55Harrigan, Mulligan, and Garrity.
00:23:57It ain't enough.
00:23:59Now look here.
00:24:01I don't want to have your folks.
00:24:02Yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:24:03I'll handle this.
00:24:04Yeah, but sure.
00:24:05You have received the gorilla's warning, Walter Stevens.
00:24:12You've just five minutes to live.
00:24:14Oh, Uncle Walter.
00:24:15Jack.
00:24:16Excuse me.
00:24:17Here, here.
00:24:18Now, where are you going?
00:24:19I'm getting out of here.
00:24:20There's no door there.
00:24:21Oh, that's all right.
00:24:21I'll make one.
00:24:22Goodbye.
00:24:23Oh, get over there.
00:24:24Quiet!
00:24:25Quiet, everybody!
00:24:26Did you hear that?
00:24:44I wish I didn't.
00:24:46He's up there, men!
00:24:49Where are you going?
00:24:50I said he's up there.
00:24:51That's what I thought you said.
00:24:51Oh, quiet.
00:24:56All right, men.
00:25:02Follow me!
00:25:05Stick him up.
00:25:06I got you covered.
00:25:26What happened?
00:25:37What was it?
00:25:37Nothing.
00:25:38Nothing at all.
00:25:52Hey.
00:25:53Did you just pass here?
00:25:56Yes.
00:25:57Yes, of course.
00:25:58I brought a trunk down from the attic.
00:26:00A trunk?
00:26:01Yes.
00:26:02Were we here?
00:26:03I couldn't say.
00:26:05Well, maybe we're not here now.
00:26:08Maybe.
00:26:10Maybe.
00:26:12It's two minutes of twelve.
00:26:14What about Uncle Walter?
00:26:15Uncle Walter, yes.
00:26:17Uncle Walter, wait, Uncle.
00:26:18We're just going in.
00:26:21Now, everybody!
00:26:23Stay just where you are.
00:26:25Morgan, you watch those doors.
00:26:26Gabby, you watch that one.
00:26:28Mr. Stevens, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:26:32I wish I thought so.
00:26:33Me too.
00:26:36You have one more minute, Walter Stevens.
00:26:39We'll watch those doors.
00:26:40We'll take those doors.
00:26:49We'll take it.
00:27:02I can't stand it any longer. I can't. You've got to call the police. You've got to.
00:27:14Mr. Stevens, I'm sorry, but Norma's right.
00:27:18I don't know what this is all about, but certainly if there's something to it, the police ought to know about it.
00:27:22I no longer know what to think. Perhaps you'd better.
00:27:26Hello? Hello?
00:27:27My phone, there's something wrong with me.
00:27:46Oh, you're scary! It's me!
00:27:48Uncle Walter, he's gone!
00:27:50Come on! How can you be gone when every door and window in this room has been locked?
00:27:54I'm only going to check those windows!
00:27:56Gary, check the door.
00:28:00How did you get in here?
00:28:01Why? Through this door, sir.
00:28:02I'll candy when the doors are locked.
00:28:03I beg your pardon? It was not locked.
00:28:04I locked it myself.
00:28:06It is locked.
00:28:07That leaves us dead locked.
00:28:08It would be impossible for me to walk through the good work.
00:28:10Why? Termites do.
00:28:12Oh, this isn't getting us anywhere.
00:28:13Now leave everything to me!
00:28:14The girl ain't going to make a monkey out of me!
00:28:17Now you...
00:28:19Come on, boys.
00:28:20Where do these stans lead to?
00:28:21To the bedrooms.
00:28:22Mulligan County, you have a look upstairs.
00:28:23Mars, if you come with me, we'll have a look around the grounds.
00:28:24You two look in the servant's wing.
00:28:25With the gorilla prowling around, not me.
00:28:26Well, all right, then come with me.
00:28:27Oh, never mind. I'll take my chances with the other gorilla.
00:28:28But wait a minute.
00:28:29We can't leave Miss Denby here alone.
00:28:30What are you waiting for?
00:28:32I don't know.
00:28:33But I wish I could think of something.
00:28:35Me too.
00:28:36Oh, go on!
00:28:37Here!
00:28:38I'll go see what happened.
00:28:39The other gorilla has gone.
00:28:40It's time when you got married.
00:28:41To the true kind of thing.
00:28:42Can I say something in the grass?
00:28:43We're only a couple of cars.
00:28:44What did these stans lead to?
00:28:45To the bedrooms.
00:28:46Mulligan County, you have a look upstairs.
00:28:47Mars, if you come with me, we'll have a look around the grounds.
00:28:48You two look in the servant's wing.
00:28:49Put the gorilla prowling around, not me.
00:28:50Well, all right, come with me.
00:28:51Oh, never mind.
00:28:52I'll take my chances with the other gorilla.
00:28:53What are you waiting for?
00:28:54I don't know, but I wish I could think of something.
00:28:55Me too.
00:28:56Oh, go on.
00:28:58Don't worry, darling.
00:28:59Oh, that's all right.
00:29:00I'll do all the worrying.
00:29:01Marston, come with me.
00:29:04Oh, you first, sir.
00:29:07Thank you very much.
00:29:10Why couldn't this have all happened tomorrow?
00:29:12What difference would that make?
00:29:13Tomorrow's my day off.
00:29:16Poor Uncle Walter.
00:29:18Right from under our very eyes.
00:29:20I don't understand how he got out of here.
00:29:23All that's worrying me is how I'm going to get out of here.
00:29:26Oh, it's him.
00:29:28It's him.
00:29:29I saved him.
00:29:30I saved him.
00:29:31It's the gorilla.
00:29:32I saved him.
00:29:33What's up?
00:29:34I saved him.
00:29:35It's the gorilla.
00:29:36I tell you, he's in that closet there.
00:29:37Oh, Jack, I'm so frightened.
00:29:38All right.
00:29:39Come on out of there, you.
00:29:40Get him, Mulligan.
00:29:41You heard him, Garrity.
00:29:42What did he say?
00:29:43Are you sure it wasn't an hallucination?
00:29:45Not unless an hallucination has hair on it.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:50Now, ready?
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:52Oh, my God.
00:29:53What?
00:29:54Is it dead?
00:29:56Who is he?
00:29:57I've never seen him before.
00:29:58Do you know him?
00:29:59No, sir.
00:30:00And this is no time for no introductions.
00:30:04He's not dead.
00:30:05Yeah, lock that down, too.
00:30:06All right.
00:30:07Come on, darling.
00:30:08We're getting out of here.
00:30:09I'm afraid now, too, for you.
00:30:10I'm afraid now, too, for me.
00:30:11Oh, Jack, it's horrible.
00:30:13I don't know what to make of it.
00:30:14Now, all I can say, the gorilla's around here somewhere.
00:30:17I know Mr. Stevens is around here somewhere.
00:30:19I know Mr. Stevens is around here somewhere.
00:30:21And if you all look, we'll find him somewhere.
00:30:23Where are you going?
00:30:24Somewhere.
00:30:25All right, men. Take him upstairs.
00:30:27Come on, Garrity.
00:30:28You, lead the way.
00:30:34I'll take care of him.
00:30:35Kitty will get a basin of hot water.
00:30:37Do you mind if I go out of town to get him?
00:30:39You and I have a look around the house.
00:30:41Wait a minute.
00:30:42There's something funny about this.
00:30:44Kitty said she saw the gorilla's arm.
00:30:46I'll go in the closet and find the sailor's body.
00:30:48Now, how did the body get in there?
00:30:49And how did the gorilla get out without her seeing him?
00:30:51That's just what I was about to ask you.
00:30:55Stevens was sitting right here in this chair
00:30:57until the lights went out.
00:31:00Ooh.
00:31:01Gorilla.
00:31:02La-la.
00:31:03Ha-ha.
00:31:04Meh.
00:31:07That's funny.
00:31:08What's funny?
00:31:09Nothing.
00:31:10I think I'll have a look around this house.
00:31:12Have a look around the house?
00:31:13Yes, I have.
00:31:14Have a look around the house.
00:31:15Yeah.
00:31:16I'll go, too.
00:31:19Hey, that guy won't talk.
00:31:20Why not?
00:31:21He's still unconscious.
00:31:22You're unconscious and you talk.
00:31:24That's great, Chief.
00:31:25Mark that down, Garrity.
00:31:26Right.
00:31:27What do we do now?
00:31:28Well, first we'll have to reenact the crime.
00:31:29Well, how do we do that?
00:31:30Now, let's see.
00:31:31When the lights went out, Stevens was sitting in that chair.
00:31:32Yeah?
00:31:33You're Stevens.
00:31:34Sit down.
00:31:35I'm Stevens.
00:31:36Mulligan, close the doors.
00:31:37Hey.
00:31:38I'm Garrity.
00:31:39You're Stevens.
00:31:40Now, sit down.
00:31:41I'll wait for lights.
00:31:42One.
00:31:43Two.
00:31:44Three.
00:31:45Ah, it's no use.
00:31:46I don't know what works for Sherlock Holmes.
00:31:48I don't know why it won't work for me.
00:31:50That's what I've been trying to tell you.
00:31:51He's gone.
00:31:52Is he gone?
00:31:53Gone.
00:31:54Garrity!
00:31:55Garrity!
00:31:56Now we have two mysteries to solve.
00:31:57Look, I've got an idea.
00:31:58What is it?
00:31:59If we can find out how Garrity disappeared,
00:32:00we'll find out what happened to Stevens.
00:32:01That's a very good idea.
00:32:02Should have thought of that myself.
00:32:03All right.
00:32:04We'll reenact the crime.
00:32:05See?
00:32:06All right.
00:32:07We'll reenact the crime.
00:32:08See?
00:32:09All right.
00:32:10All right.
00:32:11All right.
00:32:12All right.
00:32:13All right.
00:32:14All right.
00:32:15All right.
00:32:16All right.
00:32:17All right.
00:32:18All right.
00:32:19We'll reenact the crime.
00:32:20Sit down.
00:32:21What?
00:32:22I'm not tired.
00:32:23You have to be tired to sit down?
00:32:24I do.
00:32:25You make me tired!
00:32:26Well, then, why don't you sit down?
00:32:28If I sit down, who's going to work the lights?
00:32:30I never thought of that.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32Well, sit down.
00:32:33Yeah, sit down.
00:32:34Sit down.
00:32:35Yeah.
00:32:36Sit down.
00:32:37One.
00:32:38Two.
00:32:39Three.
00:32:46Mulligan!
00:32:47Whoa!
00:32:49Mulligan!
00:32:50Did you lose something?
00:32:51Yes.
00:32:52Mulligan and Gary.
00:32:53Make it over there.
00:32:54Now, look.
00:32:55Sit down.
00:32:56Oh, I don't want to sit down.
00:32:57You don't have to, Wanda.
00:32:58You'll sit down and like it.
00:32:59Well, all right.
00:33:00I'll sit down, but I won't like it.
00:33:01Yeah.
00:33:02What are you going to do?
00:33:03What I'm going to do ain't important.
00:33:04Well, what am I going to do?
00:33:06That's just what I want to find out.
00:33:08One.
00:33:21Two.
00:33:23Two.
00:33:24One, two, two, two, two, two, three.
00:33:42Did I hear somebody scream?
00:33:44Well, if you didn't, you ought to have your ears cleaned out.
00:33:47Say, where's Mr. Harrigan, the detective?
00:33:50He's disappeared.
00:33:51Disappeared?
00:33:52What a pity.
00:33:53Why, it's uncanny, the...
00:33:57How did you get in here?
00:33:58We...
00:33:59Why, you...
00:34:00Oh!
00:34:01Oh!
00:34:02Don't be frightened.
00:34:03You're safe in me.
00:34:04Safe in you, my eye?
00:34:06Who wants to be safe?
00:34:07We...
00:34:08Now, look.
00:34:09I'm very sociable.
00:34:10I want to go where there's people.
00:34:23Who wants to?
00:34:24Uh-huh.
00:34:26What's in, I'm not so upset?
00:34:28I got up.
00:34:29But ready?
00:34:30Come on.
00:34:32Come on.
00:34:33Oh, come on.
00:34:34I'm not like this...
00:34:35You're too shy.
00:34:36You're too shy.
00:34:37You're too shy.
00:34:38I'm not too shy.
00:34:39You're too shy.
00:34:40I'm too shy.
00:34:41I was so shy.
00:34:42I can't be shy.
00:34:43I can't be shy.
00:34:44I'm not going to die.
00:35:14Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, what's the matter, what's happened?
00:35:22Oh, look, I'm standing here, when all of a sudden, everything goes black, next thing I know,
00:35:31I'm here. That's funny. Hello, hello, I'm, I'm sorry, I kept you eating. No, no,
00:35:39you turn on Willow Drive, off Highway 22, and hurry, will you? Thank you. Look, it ain't human,
00:35:45I'll tell you, it ain't human. What isn't human? For a guy to be standing here one minute,
00:35:52and the next minute, he's gone. Who's gone? I'm gone, they're gone, everybody's gone.
00:35:58It don't make sense. Certainly doesn't. Will you have a cigarette? I don't mind if I do.
00:36:03He kidnapped me right from under his very eyes. Who does? The gorilla!
00:36:09Hey, who are you? What do you want? What are you doing here?
00:36:20Listen, old man, you got me all wrong. I just came in to use the telephone. You see,
00:36:23my car broke down. That phone? Look, that phone is out of order. Is it? Yes.
00:36:34Number, please. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.
00:36:38Now, wait a minute, you. You're the guy we're looking for. You're the gorilla.
00:36:42Surely you don't think I'm the gorilla, do you? I stopped thinking two hours ago.
00:36:45But you don't understand. I don't have to understand.
00:36:48Shall I try it? Oh, you've tried enough. Now get him up.
00:36:51Listen, you're making a big mistake. Well, it won't be the first time.
00:36:54Oh, all right. All right, I got your car. Help!
00:37:01Okay, shake him up. Shake him up.
00:37:03Oh, help! Help! Oh, help!
00:37:07Oh, help! Help! Oh, help!
00:37:11Help! Help! Help me!
00:37:18Oh, help! Help! Help!
00:37:20Help! Help me!
00:37:24What's the matter? What is it?
00:37:25I got him. I got him. I got him. I tell you, I got him.
00:37:26You got him? Where?
00:37:27Yes. He... Well, I did have him. Here, get me out of these.
00:37:31These are in my pocket. Get it right there.
00:37:33Oh, it was terrible. The gorilla. The gorilla. The gorilla.
00:37:35How'd you get all that?
00:37:36Oh, I got him. I got him. I got him. I got him.
00:37:37I got him. I got him. I got him. I got him.
00:37:38Yes. He... Well, I did have him.
00:37:39Here, get me out of these. Here, get me out of these.
00:37:42These are in my pocket. Get it right there.
00:37:44Oh, it was terrible. The gorilla. The gorilla.
00:37:46How'd you get all tied up like this?
00:37:48The gorilla. I tell you, it wasn't my fault.
00:37:50He came in and hit me. It was... Did I leave him in there?
00:37:57Oh. Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:37:58Get him in his pocket. It's ____.
00:38:01Aw.
00:38:03How did you get in there?
00:38:04You tell me.
00:38:05What are you doing with those things on?
00:38:06Oh, look.
00:38:07A fellow walks right in.
00:38:08It was the gorilla, I tell you.
00:38:09He started to use that phone.
00:38:10But he didn't get very far.
00:38:11Not with me on the job.
00:38:12Lucky thing for him, you had your handcuffs with you.
00:38:13Where is he?
00:38:14Where did he go?
00:38:15Where is he?
00:38:16I'm the victim.
00:38:17How should I know?
00:38:18Look, boys.
00:38:19I'm telling you, he walked in.
00:38:20Six of them.
00:38:21Six big gorillas.
00:38:22They attacked me.
00:38:23Hit me.
00:38:24Hit me.
00:38:25I'm the victim.
00:38:26I'm the victim.
00:38:27How should I know?
00:38:28Look, boys.
00:38:29I'm telling you, he walked in.
00:38:30Six of them.
00:38:31Six big gorillas.
00:38:33I'll be right on my crawl.
00:38:34Look at that lump.
00:38:35Look at this lump.
00:38:36Look.
00:38:37Right there.
00:38:38These windows are locked.
00:38:40From the inside.
00:38:44You're not kidding.
00:38:45Kidding?
00:38:46With a gorilla right under my nose and a $10,000 reward.
00:38:48He says I'm kidding.
00:38:49Well, are you?
00:38:51Who belongs to this?
00:38:52What is it?
00:38:53A coat.
00:38:54Why, gorillas don't wear coats.
00:38:55Sure they do.
00:38:56Full coats.
00:38:57There's something screwy about all this.
00:38:59Look.
00:39:00If there's anything screwy about this,
00:39:02it's me.
00:39:03It's me.
00:39:04It's me!
00:39:05But I'll soon find out.
00:39:06Each of you grab a wall.
00:39:07What do we do with it?
00:39:08Mulligan, you take that one.
00:39:10Marsden, you take that one.
00:39:12I'll take that one.
00:39:13I'll set this one out.
00:39:14You'll set nothing out.
00:39:15Grab a wall!
00:39:19I'll take it easy.
00:39:21All right.
00:39:22Now tap each one of you.
00:39:23See if you can find some trap doors.
00:39:25You can find some trap doors.
00:39:26I'll take that one.
00:39:27Usually there's a door.
00:39:28I'll take that door.
00:39:29It must be out there.
00:39:30Come on, men.
00:39:31Right out here.
00:39:32All right.
00:39:33Cover the door, men.
00:39:34What's the matter with all of you?
00:39:35He's a deaf.
00:39:36I've been pounding on that door for the last 10 minutes.
00:39:38Come on, men.
00:39:39Right out here.
00:39:46All right, cover the door, men.
00:39:49What's the matter with all of you, you deaf?
00:39:51I've been pounding on that door for the last 10 minutes.
00:39:53Who are you?
00:39:54That's right.
00:39:55Who are you?
00:39:56Never mind who I am.
00:39:57I want to know where Walter Stevens is.
00:39:59Oh, you want to know where Mr. Stevens is, huh?
00:40:01He wants to know where Walter Stevens is.
00:40:03Who do you think we're looking for?
00:40:05I didn't come here to play games.
00:40:07I want to see Walter Stevens, and I want to see him right now.
00:40:09But you don't understand.
00:40:10These gentlemen are detectives.
00:40:11Detectives.
00:40:12Bah!
00:40:13What are you trying to pull on me?
00:40:14I talked to Stevens on the telephone last night.
00:40:16He told me he had a plan to pay his debt.
00:40:18Plan?
00:40:19Yeah, said he'd only just started working on it.
00:40:21But did he tell you what this plan is?
00:40:22I wasn't interested.
00:40:24He was to square up with me here tonight.
00:40:27When I talked to him, he wanted a couple of days more
00:40:29to raise the money that he owes me.
00:40:31Now, where is he?
00:40:32Well, Mr. Stevens has been kidnapped by the gorilla.
00:40:34Kidnapped by poppycock.
00:40:36Now, look here.
00:40:37I don't know who any of you are.
00:40:39But I do know this.
00:40:41Walter Stevens owes me $250,000.
00:40:44And I'm going to collect it tonight or else.
00:40:47No, no, you don't, buddy.
00:40:49How do we know you're...
00:40:50Say, who are you, anyway?
00:40:51I'm one of Stevens' clients.
00:40:53I have proof that Stevens has been stealing
00:40:55from his clients' accounts for over a year.
00:40:57I gave him until tonight to return my money.
00:41:00And I'm not going to leave this house until I get it.
00:41:03Yeah, but wait a minute.
00:41:04Wait a minute.
00:41:07I think he's mad.
00:41:08Jack, if what that man says is true,
00:41:11I...
00:41:12I don't believe Uncle Walter could...
00:41:14It's almost impossible to know what to believe, darling.
00:41:16Yet things are adding up.
00:41:18If your uncle did have a plan,
00:41:20if this business of sending for you was part of the plan, I...
00:41:23Take her upstairs and keep an eye on her.
00:41:25This has gone far enough.
00:41:26It's gone too far.
00:41:27It's even gone further than that.
00:41:28I'll be all right.
00:41:29It's just too much excitement for one night.
00:41:31Get your hat and coat, darling.
00:41:32I'm going to see that you get to town
00:41:33if I have to push the car all the way myself.
00:41:35I can't go.
00:41:36It'll be fine, Uncle Walter.
00:41:37We'll take care of that.
00:41:38We'll break this case, won't we, boys?
00:41:40Well, won't we?
00:41:41Oh, sure we will.
00:41:42Sure.
00:41:43Like it was walnuts.
00:41:44Yeah.
00:41:46You know, I feel sorry for that poor girl.
00:41:48Yeah?
00:41:49What about poor us?
00:41:50Strange men zooming in and out,
00:41:51animals running around like this was a zoo.
00:41:53Crazy goings on.
00:41:54I want to go home.
00:41:55I'll say you want to go home.
00:41:56I'll say you want to go home.
00:41:57I'm ashamed of you.
00:41:58I'm ashamed of you!
00:41:59Do you want to take a run out part
00:42:00and leave that girl here to take the blame alone?
00:42:03We're detectives, aren't we?
00:42:05Are we?
00:42:06Haven't we looked all over this house?
00:42:08Yes.
00:42:09No.
00:42:10Where haven't we looked?
00:42:11Well, if there's a cellar, we haven't looked there.
00:42:12I'm glad I thought of that.
00:42:14Say, this looks like a cellar.
00:42:15What?
00:42:18It's locked.
00:42:19Well, turn the key.
00:42:20Oh, yes.
00:42:21Never thought of that.
00:42:22All right.
00:42:24Come on, then.
00:42:37Anybody down there?
00:42:38Uh, yes, we are.
00:42:41Now, look for a switch.
00:42:42There's a round here somewhere.
00:42:47All right.
00:42:48Come on out of there, you.
00:42:49Come on!
00:42:50All right.
00:42:51Come on out of there.
00:42:52All right.
00:42:53Come on out of there.
00:42:54All right.
00:42:55Come on.
00:42:56All right.
00:42:57Come on out of there.
00:43:09Mulligan, where are you?
00:43:10I'm right here, Chief.
00:43:11Uh, Garrity?
00:43:12Where are you?
00:43:13Uh, Garrity?
00:43:14Where are you?
00:43:15Uh, Garrity?
00:43:16Where are you?
00:43:18Over here, Chief.
00:43:23Is anybody with me?
00:43:24No, you're alone.
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:26Awful.
00:43:27Awful.
00:43:28Awful.
00:43:29Awful.
00:43:30Awful.
00:43:35Awful.
00:43:37Awful.
00:43:38Awful.
00:43:39Awful.
00:43:46Awful.
00:43:49Awful.
00:43:50Awful.
00:43:51Awful.
00:43:52Lauren, hey, Harrison, something hit me.
00:43:55It's the first time I saw a monster, I'd catch a piece of cheese.
00:44:02Harrigan! Garrity!
00:44:04Come in and get me out of this!
00:44:06Get me out of this thing!
00:44:08Maybe you'd like a racket?
00:44:10What are you doing? I'd like to sit in your mouth and bring it.
00:44:13Garrity! Harrigan!
00:44:16Garrity! Harrigan!
00:44:20Go away!
00:44:25Let me get out of here.
00:44:30Now don't worry, I'll handle this.
00:44:31It's a pleasure, man. Don't worry about it.
00:44:34Okay, buddy. Come on, Buck. Get that raccoon coat off.
00:44:38Come on. Get that thing off.
00:44:41Look, must I hit you over the head with this thing?
00:44:47Well?
00:44:49We've been double-crossed.
00:44:55No!
00:44:56No!
00:44:57No!
00:44:58No!
00:44:59No!
00:45:00No!
00:45:06Get out of here!
00:45:09Let's get out of here!
00:45:11Go!
00:45:14Get out of here!
00:45:19Get out of here!
00:45:20Peters? Yes, sir?
00:45:21What's all that commotion?
00:45:22Sounds like our friends, the detectives.
00:45:25You stay here with Miss Denby. I'll go see what's up.
00:45:29Cognac, Miss Denby?
00:45:32No. No, thank you.
00:45:53Come on.
00:45:55What's the matter?
00:45:56What's all the racket?
00:45:57I got him, I tell you. I got him.
00:45:58You got him? Got who?
00:45:59Yes, the gorilla. He's in there. He's in there.
00:46:01I can hear him breathe.
00:46:02That's you.
00:46:04Well, open it, open it.
00:46:12Have you men been drinking?
00:46:13No, but it's a good idea.
00:46:22What was that?
00:46:36Norman, what's the gorilla?
00:46:38Norman, where are you?
00:46:39Fly, fly, quick!
00:46:43Jack!
00:46:45Get after him, quick!
00:46:47You heard him, Mulligan.
00:46:49So did you.
00:46:50Well, never mind that.
00:46:51You take the hall.
00:46:52I'll go this way.
00:46:54I'll stay here.
00:46:59Is something wrong?
00:47:00Where were you?
00:47:01I just went to get some tea, sir.
00:47:03Didn't I tell you to stay here with Miss Denby?
00:47:05I'm very sorry, sir, but I thought perhaps a little tea.
00:47:08What do you got to think?
00:47:09We're not even thinking.
00:47:11Miss Denby might have been killed.
00:47:13It's fortunate she wasn't, sir.
00:47:17Why is it that something always happens when you're not here?
00:47:20An unfortunate coincidence, sir.
00:47:25What did you find?
00:47:26A empty closet with Harrigan in it.
00:47:33Harrigan!
00:47:34Harrigan!
00:47:35Harrigan!
00:47:36Wake up!
00:47:37Get up!
00:47:38The gorilla!
00:47:39The gorilla!
00:47:40Did you get him?
00:47:41No, he got you.
00:47:42Okay, man.
00:47:43Follow me.
00:47:44Okay.
00:47:45Okay.
00:47:46Follow me.
00:47:51Go down and see where these stairs lead to.
00:47:53Who, me?
00:47:54Who, me?
00:47:55Yes, you.
00:47:56Oh, me!
00:47:57It's awful dark.
00:47:58I should have brung my glasses.
00:47:59You never wear any glasses.
00:48:00That's right.
00:48:01I forgot.
00:48:02What's that funny tapping?
00:48:03It's my knees.
00:48:04It's a fine time to be scared.
00:48:06You try and think of a better time.
00:48:07Yeah, well...
00:48:12The gorilla's gonna have a showdown right now.
00:48:13That's right, Chief.
00:48:14I'm telling you, I can't stand it.
00:48:15Now, don't argue with me.
00:48:16I know what I'm talking about.
00:48:17I'm going in there and we'll look over this house, do the same thing.
00:48:20No, no.
00:48:21No, no.
00:48:22Look, look, I've had about enough of this.
00:48:23Me and the gorilla's gonna have a showdown right now.
00:48:24That's right, Chief.
00:48:25I'm telling you, I can't stand it.
00:48:26Now, don't argue with me.
00:48:27I know what I'm talking about.
00:48:28I'm going in there and we'll look over this house.
00:48:33You'll take orders from me, understand?
00:48:34Now, I'm going to tear this house apart.
00:48:37Tear it limb from limb.
00:48:38Now, come on.
00:48:39Follow me.
00:48:40I'll show this mug who's a murderer.
00:48:42I know what I'm talking about.
00:48:43I'm going in there and we'll look over this house.
00:48:46You'll take orders from me, understand?
00:48:48I'm going to tear this house apart.
00:48:50Tear it limb from limb.
00:48:51Now come on, follow me.
00:48:55I'll show this mug who's a mug.
00:48:58You fellas, stick close behind me.
00:49:02If anything happens, leave it to me.
00:49:04I'll do all the talking.
00:49:05Come on, man.
00:49:07People running in here out today.
00:49:09All day long, I've never seen anything like this in all my life.
00:49:12Push.
00:49:13Hey, where are you gone?
00:49:21What's eating you?
00:49:28What have you got there?
00:49:33That dame must know something or she wouldn't be running away like that.
00:49:36Make an old of that, Garrity.
00:49:42Aw.
00:49:42Hey
00:50:12Good evening
00:50:14Good evening
00:50:16What do you want?
00:50:18Don't be frightened
00:50:20Frightened? Who's frightened?
00:50:22Don't you come near me or I'll wrap this thing around your neck like it was a pretzel
00:50:26There's nothing to worry about
00:50:28That's what you think
00:50:30May I give you some advice?
00:50:32No
00:50:34If I were you, I'd go to my room and stay there
00:50:36Oh yes sir, I was just planning on that
00:50:38Wait a minute, where have you been?
00:50:40No place, honest sir
00:50:42He's getting ready to go to town
00:50:44Good
00:50:45Don't open that
00:50:46Why not?
00:50:47The gorilla, he's in there
00:50:48Don't be silly
00:50:54Come on home, get going
00:50:56Yes sir, I'm practically there
00:51:12I'm sorry
00:51:13I'm happy
00:51:14I'm happy
00:51:16I'm happy
00:51:17Don't be worried
00:51:18I don't know
00:51:19I'm sorry
00:51:20I'm happy
00:51:21I'm sorry
00:51:22I'm sorry
00:51:23I'm sorry
00:51:24I'm sorry
00:51:25I'm sorry
00:51:26It's a gorilla.
00:51:28We saw it and we felt it.
00:51:30I tell you the gorilla is a man I ought to know.
00:51:32I've read enough about him.
00:51:34But how could a monkey have possibly written those notes, Uncle Walter?
00:51:38I don't know.
00:51:40I don't know.
00:51:42I don't know.
00:51:44I've read enough about him.
00:51:46But how could a monkey have possibly written those notes, Uncle Walter?
00:51:50I don't know.
00:51:52I don't know.
00:51:54Maybe it's got an education.
00:51:58Poe!
00:52:00Poe!
00:52:02Where is he? Have any of you seen him?
00:52:04Poe.
00:52:05Who's Poe?
00:52:06Poe's the gorilla.
00:52:07You know him too, huh?
00:52:08I've trained him since he was that high.
00:52:10You're just the one we're looking for.
00:52:12Don't any of you understand? Poe is a gorilla. A trained gorilla.
00:52:14A real gorilla?
00:52:16Sure, a real gorilla.
00:52:18So we don't know what we're talking about, eh?
00:52:20We know a monkey when we see one.
00:52:22Poe ain't no pet.
00:52:24There's no telling what he's liable to do when I ain't around.
00:52:26Especially with women. He hates women.
00:52:28Well, what's he doing here? What are you doing here?
00:52:30We was hired to come here.
00:52:32We're working at the county fair.
00:52:33Yesterday a guy comes along, says he wants me to bring Poe here.
00:52:36He says he's given a party, wants us to put on a rack.
00:52:38Who hired you?
00:52:39I don't know. I don't know nothing.
00:52:41All I know is I bring Poe here. We're waiting out in the garage like he tells me.
00:52:44Waiting to do our stuff.
00:52:45All of a sudden somebody gives me a clunk over the head and I wake up to a lady's boudoir.
00:52:49But the gorilla, how did he get loose?
00:52:50You're asking me. That's what I want to find out.
00:52:52Listen, this is serious. We gotta find him.
00:52:54We got her. Somebody's liable to get killed.
00:52:56Them notes from the gorilla.
00:52:58Five will get you fifty. They're addressed to me.
00:53:00Notes? Poe can't write no notes. Even I don't know how to write.
00:53:04Now look, the next time I book up against that gorilla, I'm telling you, I'll hear, I'll, well, I'll, you'll never know.
00:53:11He'll do it.
00:53:12Listen, listen, have you seen him?
00:53:13Yes, he's in the kitchen.
00:53:14Which way is the kitchen?
00:53:15Through the panel. We'll go with you.
00:53:21Listen, you fellas better wait here. There's no telling what that able to do.
00:53:25Oh, Jack, I'm so confused. A real gorilla and those notes and...
00:53:34Listen to me, everybody. The gorilla has done his work. Walter Stevens is dead. You will find his body in the garage.
00:53:42Oh, Jack.
00:53:44All right, everybody. Follow me to the garage. Come on.
00:53:55He's gone. Poe's gone.
00:53:56I tell you, he's in the kitchen.
00:53:57The kitchen's a wreck. He must be on a rampage.
00:53:58Out of my way, brother. I got my own brothers to worry about.
00:54:01All right, all of you. Out in the garage. Come on.
00:54:05Uh, I'll stay here and protect Miss Denby.
00:54:07This way, please.
00:54:13I'll never forgive myself for not calling the police.
00:54:15Why call the police with us around, lady?
00:54:17You couldn't save Uncle Walter.
00:54:18We couldn't, eh?
00:54:19Well, you didn't, did you?
00:54:21Well, we...
00:54:23That's right, we didn't.
00:54:25I've got to find out how that gorilla gets in and out of here.
00:54:28There must be a secret spring around here someplace.
00:54:31I think I'll look in the back of these books.
00:54:33Uh...
00:54:39Oh, he...
00:54:40Ah!
00:54:41Yeah, look at him.
00:54:42Yeah, look at him.
00:54:43Yeah, look at him.
00:54:48Yeah, this one.
00:54:54Hey.
00:54:55Hey.
00:54:56Hey.
00:55:06Hey.
00:55:11Oh...
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:20Yeah...
00:55:22Help!
00:55:24Help!
00:55:26Somebody!
00:55:28Get me out of here, somebody!
00:55:30Don't tell me she was the gorilla.
00:55:32I told you I didn't like her looks.
00:55:34Oh, wise guy.
00:55:36Come on, we gotta find the boss.
00:55:38I wonder what I do with them keys.
00:55:40Look under the mat.
00:55:42Look under the mat.
00:55:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:46I'm sorry.
00:55:48I'm sorry.
00:55:50Look under the mat.
00:55:52That's funny.
00:55:54Oh, very funny.
00:55:56Will you get me out of here?
00:55:58Listen, what are you doing at Poe's cage?
00:56:00What do you think I'm doing, waiting for someone to feed me peanuts?
00:56:02Get me out of here!
00:56:04Don't you know Poe hates women?
00:56:06So does Kipling. So what?
00:56:08Will you please get me out of here?
00:56:10Open!
00:56:12All right, all right. Don't get it.
00:56:14Poe hates women.
00:56:16Say, wait a minute.
00:56:18I think this was a trick to get us out of the house.
00:56:20Come on.
00:56:22Who are you, anyway?
00:56:23I'm the gorilla's keeper.
00:56:24Are you the dame giving me a crock of the head?
00:56:26No, but it's a good idea.
00:56:27Oh, yeah?
00:56:37Look!
00:56:43He's got him!
00:56:44Wait, don't go near him, he'll drop him.
00:56:46Ho!
00:56:48Bring it down, Poe!
00:56:49Bring it down to me!
00:56:50Down, Poe, down to the ground!
00:56:52Put it down, Poe.
00:56:55Down, Poe, down to the ground!
00:56:57Ho!
00:56:59Stop it, Poe!
00:57:00Bring it down, Poe!
00:57:01Bring it down to me!
00:57:06Put it down, Poe.
00:57:07Come on.
00:57:09Come on.
00:57:18Paul, Paul, come back here.
00:57:19I'll be catching you.
00:57:39I'll be catching you.
00:57:41Oh, oh.
00:57:43Oh.
00:57:48Oh.
00:57:49Oh.
00:57:50Oh.
00:57:51Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:57:53Oh.
00:57:54He hit me again.
00:57:56Right here, he hit.
00:57:58Oh.
00:58:00Oh.
00:58:01Oh.
00:58:02Oh.
00:58:03Oh.
00:58:04Oh.
00:58:05Oh.
00:58:06Oh.
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:08Oh.
00:58:09Oh.
00:58:10Oh.
00:58:11Oh.
00:58:12Oh.
00:58:13Oh.
00:58:14Oh.
00:58:15Oh.
00:58:16Oh.
00:58:17No, no, no kisses.
00:58:18He might have killed somebody.
00:58:19What do you mean, might have?
00:58:25All right.
00:58:26It's all right, lady, I got him.
00:58:28You can keep him.
00:58:29Okay, scram, and take this character with you.
00:58:32I was only kidding.
00:58:33Just for that, he gets no C-A-N-D-Y.
00:58:35Oh, that's just C-A-N-D-Y.
00:58:38I don't want to cause you any trouble, folks.
00:58:40And just for that, I don't lead you to funny papers tonight.
00:58:44I'll put you in bed without any supper, you bad boy.
00:58:51You wait till I get you home.
00:58:53You have to wait till the last it is.
00:58:55Go on.
00:58:59Look at that.
00:59:01Why, it's somebody's coat.
00:59:04All right, come on out of there, buddy.
00:59:06So that's how I got clunked on the head.
00:59:08Come on, come on out of there, you.
00:59:09All right, come on.
00:59:10Look, it's opening.
00:59:12Come on, come on, buddy.
00:59:14Oh, so it's you.
00:59:15Do you know him?
00:59:16Do I know him?
00:59:17He's the guy I caught using the telephone.
00:59:19There's no law against that.
00:59:20Never mind law, buddy.
00:59:21Get him up.
00:59:22Now, just a minute.
00:59:23Don't you think you're a little premature?
00:59:24Premature?
00:59:25Well, I can't remember that far back.
00:59:26Just who are you?
00:59:27I'm Detective Coletti,
00:59:29an investigator for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
00:59:32And I'm on the trail of the gorilla just as you are.
00:59:35A detective?
00:59:36How do we know that?
00:59:37Yes.
00:59:38Well, what were you doing in there?
00:59:41Investigating.
00:59:42I've been on this case for some weeks now.
00:59:44And I've discovered a little about the construction of this house
00:59:47that my good friend here don't seem to have found out yet.
00:59:52What do you mean?
00:59:54This house is a maze of secret panels.
00:59:57Now, undoubtedly, the voice of the gorilla came through that radio
01:00:00from someplace right in this house.
01:00:01That means that if we find the wire leading away from the radio...
01:00:03We'd at least find the gorilla's hide-up.
01:00:04Say, what's going on here?
01:00:05What?
01:00:06Well, here it is.
01:00:07Here's the wire going right in here.
01:00:08That's fine.
01:00:09Now, let's see.
01:00:10Uh-huh.
01:00:11Just as I thought.
01:00:24Here's the wire.
01:00:25Now, by tracing this, I think we may find the answer to this entire riddle.
01:00:30The wire goes in here.
01:00:32Back of this wall is the man we want.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:35Well, make a note of that guy.
01:00:36Are you all armed?
01:00:37Yes, I'm armed.
01:00:38Shh!
01:00:39Quiet, you.
01:00:40Here it is.
01:00:45There is your microphone.
01:00:46And as I expected, there is your gorilla.
01:00:48Mr. Stevens the gorilla?
01:00:49Well, sure.
01:00:50I could have told you that all the time.
01:00:51I guess the party is over, my gorilla friend.
01:00:54Yeah, but who tied him up like that?
01:00:55I don't know.
01:00:56He figured the game was up and that this would throw off suspicion.
01:00:59This is a homemade job.
01:01:00A child could have done it.
01:01:01Oh, he's preposterous.
01:01:02Don't believe him.
01:01:03I never saw this man before in my life.
01:01:04It's insane.
01:01:05Oh, now what's that?
01:01:08Oh, why is it with all the men in the house they have to leave us here with you?
01:01:12Quiet.
01:01:13Oh.
01:01:18Why, it's Mr. Stevens.
01:01:20Alias the gorilla.
01:01:21The gorilla?
01:01:22Him?
01:01:23Oh, I'll never trust another man if I live to be a thousand.
01:01:28You can make that two thousand.
01:01:30Uncle Walter the gorilla.
01:01:32Uncle Walter the gorilla.
01:01:33I don't believe it.
01:01:35I think I can make it very clear.
01:01:37Oh, well, sure we can.
01:01:38Now, first of all.
01:01:39What's that?
01:01:40Oh, I didn't hear a thing.
01:01:41Neither did I, but what was it?
01:01:43You'll soon find out.
01:01:45Hey, what is this?
01:01:47Who hit me?
01:01:48What's going on around here?
01:01:50It's that man again.
01:01:51Oh, there you are.
01:01:52Kidnapped.
01:01:53Kidnapped by the gorilla.
01:01:54Not kidnapped by the gorilla, Mr.
01:01:56Conway.
01:01:57A.P. Conway.
01:01:58The A.P. stands for ape.
01:02:00Mr. Conway, this gentleman is the gorilla.
01:02:02The gorilla?
01:02:03But if Uncle Walter's the gorilla,
01:02:05I don't understand why he should send himself those notes of warning.
01:02:08For two reasons.
01:02:10To keep you here, and to throw off suspicion from himself.
01:02:13Mr. Envy, under the terms of your father's will, if anything were to happen to you,
01:02:18who would inherit your estate?
01:02:20Uncle Walter.
01:02:21My hunch was right.
01:02:23Your uncle brought you here tonight to kill you for your money.
01:02:26Well, at least he had a reason.
01:02:28So that's why he wouldn't let us call the police.
01:02:30That's exactly why.
01:02:31But what about these men, these private detectives?
01:02:34They almost speak for themselves.
01:02:36Do you think if Stephen's life had actually been threatened,
01:02:39he would have called in three morons such as these for protection?
01:02:43Morons?
01:02:44Morons?
01:02:45Morons?
01:02:46Hey, wait a minute.
01:02:47I resent that.
01:02:48But I tell you, I saw the gorilla right there in that closet.
01:02:51I saw his hand and his arm, and it was no optical confusion.
01:02:54What you saw was this sleeve.
01:02:57Another ingenious little invention of Mr. Stevens.
01:03:01It's a very cute little idea.
01:03:03Well, that about clears the whole matter up.
01:03:07And since it stopped raining, I think I'd better go.
01:03:10You're okay, buddy.
01:03:11You're okay.
01:03:12All right.
01:03:13Congratulations.
01:03:14Let me congratulate you.
01:03:15You were wonderful.
01:03:19Oh, no you don't, buddy.
01:03:20Okay, folks.
01:03:21Say howdy to the gorilla.
01:03:23Howdy.
01:03:24All right, give out.
01:03:25Or this moron is gonna blow your brains out.
01:03:27Well, you see, it was over there.
01:03:29Oh!
01:03:30Now, all of you stick your hands up.
01:03:32I'm the gorilla, all right.
01:03:33But the cops haven't been able to get me,
01:03:35so don't you halfwits get any crazy notions.
01:03:37And as for Mr. Stevens, he's just as crooked as I told you he was.
01:03:41The trouble with him is he talks too much and too loud.
01:03:44I got tipped off on what was gonna happen here tonight.
01:03:46How he was gonna pretend to be me.
01:03:48I was gonna get the $250,000 and at the same time let him get the blame for all the gorilla murders.
01:03:53Well, you better be careful.
01:03:57I'm a little nervous tonight.
01:03:59Drop that gun.
01:04:00And I advise you not to move.
01:04:06Hello.
01:04:07Police station, quickly.
01:04:08What is this?
01:04:09I thought the phone was out of order.
01:04:10Maybe he paid his bill.
01:04:11Hello.
01:04:12This is Walter Stevens speaking.
01:04:13Sent a squad car to my house.
01:04:15We've got the gorilla.
01:04:16Things are so mixed up around here that even the gorilla doesn't know who the gorilla is.
01:04:20He's the gorilla.
01:04:21He's the gorilla.
01:04:22Do I know what I'm doing?
01:04:23Look, what's going on here?
01:04:24Don't look so sad, darling.
01:04:25Your uncle isn't a crook.
01:04:26And our estate's all safe and sound now.
01:04:27You know, you never can tell this is liable to wind up to be a mystery.
01:04:29You see, the gorilla murders were threatening to bankrupt our insurance company.
01:04:31Most of the victims were clients of ours.
01:04:32So, Conway, our special investigator, cooked up his little scheme to trap the killer.
01:04:35I'm sorry I had to frighten you, dear.
01:04:36And you too, Kitty.
01:04:37Oh, I wasn't frightened.
01:04:38I was numb.
01:04:39You fellas are certainly great detectives.
01:04:40Oh, yes.
01:04:41We could have told you that.
01:04:42Did you know that Clutty was the gorilla all along?
01:04:43Sure we did.
01:04:44No, we didn't.
01:04:45When did you find out he was?
01:04:46Oh, we didn't.
01:04:47When did you find out he was?
01:04:48Oh, we didn't.
01:04:49We didn't.
01:04:50We didn't.
01:04:51We didn't.
01:04:52We didn't.
01:04:53We didn't.
01:04:54We didn't.
01:04:55We didn't.
01:04:56We didn't.
01:04:57We didn't.
01:04:58When did you find out he was the gorilla?
01:04:59When I shook hands with him.
01:05:00I don't get you.
01:05:01Well, you see, I was a window trimmer in a department store.
01:05:04And I ought to know a phony feel when I feel one.
01:05:07We'll never be able to thank you, Mr. Harrigan.
01:05:09Oh, well, that's all right.
01:05:11I understand you two are getting married soon.
01:05:13Well, if you call tomorrow soon.
01:05:15Well, remember, if you have any trouble with her, our specialty is following wives.
01:05:23You know where to send a check?
01:05:25And be sure it's certified.
01:05:26From a contended bank.
01:05:27Contended bank.
01:05:34Bye.
01:05:55Bye.
01:05:56Bye.
