00:55Present, Suspense.
00:57Suspense.
00:58I don't know.
01:28Nishan sir, Nishan sir, Nishan please sir
01:34Good evening sir
01:37Can you come?
01:41Nishan sir, Nishan please sir
01:58You want to know my name? That's my name
02:07At the spagat
02:10Where do you live?
02:12Come on miss, tell me and I'll see you home
02:16What number miss, what street?
02:19Can't you remember?
02:21At the spagat
02:23I'll have to call the wagon, miss, I can't leave you here
02:27Got my friends? Brother? Sister?
02:33Got any kid or kid? But at least you live somewhere.
02:39I give up. I give up. Call the wagon.
02:42Come, miss. Haven't you got any place at all? Even just a bed to sleep in?
02:46Call the wagon!
02:47Rest easy, then. I'll be back.
02:57Come.
03:27The shelter you're looking for, you can find it in here. It's all right.
03:48I'm sorry.
03:53I have to take a look at the house.
03:58Call the wagon.
04:03Call the wagon.
04:16Wipe your face.
04:41On the floor above, you can have a room all to yourself.
04:46What do you want?
04:47I'll feed you, buy you some clothes, and allow you a pound a week.
04:51What do you want from me?
04:53I'll perform the duties of an indoor servant.
04:56What else?
04:57Nothing.
04:58But you must obey me in two things.
05:01You must always keep the front door closed,
05:04and you will never leave this house alone,
05:07except in the morning when you go to do the shopping.
05:11You see that door there?
05:13That leads to my laboratory.
05:17Nobody goes in there except my assistant
05:21and my clients.
05:25You're never to enter that room.
05:36This is Tilson, my assistant.
05:38He'll show you your room.
05:40I don't think I'd better...
05:46Sleep well, Hetty.
05:48You'll see things more clearly in the morning.
05:50Sleep well.
06:05Sleep well.
06:10Sleep well.
06:14Sleep well, buddy.
06:15Johnson?
06:30Yes, sir.
06:31I think she'll do.
06:33We can use her to sit in front of the shop.
06:36I was wondering.
06:37It'll lay all suspicions.
06:39And then our special clients can come and go as they wish.
06:43Suppose she finds out our real business.
06:46How will we keep her here?
06:48I'll marry her.
06:50Oh.
06:51She'll look very well sitting in front of the shop.
06:54My wife sitting out there, perky and frilly.
06:58And every morning the postman's saying,
07:00Good morning, Mrs. Bronson.
07:02And the constable, too.
07:04That'll calm his curiosity.
07:06It might.
07:07Then again, it might not.
07:09Why, in six months we won't have a worry in the world.
07:12That's it.
07:17The most necessary in the world.
07:20Good morning, Miss Eddie.
07:46Oh, I don't want a chest, you must have.
07:48What winter, what lungs.
07:53Well, I can play a bit, I have to admit that all right enough.
07:56And your lips?
07:57Oh, you must have real muscle in your lips.
08:00Well, I suppose anyone that does anything a lot...
08:03Tom?
08:04Goodbye, Miss Eddie.
08:06Goodbye, Mr. Tom.
08:18If you dare close that door again, I'll scream bloody matter off another stick, I will.
08:33I'll scream bloody matter off another stick.
08:49I'll scream bloody matter off another stick.
09:08Petty.
09:11I won't close the door.
09:13I'm a human being, I am.
09:15Can't stay here cooked up month after month without a word to no one.
09:19Petty will close the door.
09:21Is there any detail of our marriage agreement that I have not lived up to?
09:42No, sir.
09:43You have a room to yourself?
09:45Yes, sir.
09:46Enough clothes?
09:47Yes, sir.
09:48Enough allowance?
09:49Yes, sir.
09:50Have I ever disturbed you?
09:52No.
09:53Have I ever made any demands upon your privacy or on your person?
09:56No.
09:57Well, then I must insist that you carry out to the last letter the agreement as I've carried
10:03it out.
10:04And that means that you're to keep this door closed at all times.
10:10And you'll never leave this house alone except when you go to do the shopping.
10:17And you'll discontinue your silly flirtation with that boy from the mission.
10:22Please wait.
10:24Couldn't you just talk to me a little at supper?
10:29If you don't carry out the terms of our agreement, believe me, I have ways of making you.
10:35Couldn't you maybe say something in the evening if you like what I could?
10:40Or the dress I put on.
10:42Or smile at me now.
10:44A little.
10:49I must get back to my work.
10:52What's the matter?
11:09Not ever to go out again except to shop.
11:11Is that what he said?
11:13He is a stern one, all right, all right.
11:16Then I won't be seeing you outside?
11:20Just through the window?
11:22Eddie, I bought something for you.
11:27Well, not really bought it.
11:28I picked it out of the rummage.
11:30But it's absolutely new.
11:31I wanted to give it to you because of my respect.
11:35And then maybe, I thought maybe, you might let me even kiss you.
11:41It's a yellow scar.
11:42Oh!
11:43I'm beautiful!
11:50Tom?
11:51Yes, Eddie?
11:52I gave my word out.
11:53I wouldn't go out.
11:54Well, that doesn't mean I can't come in here.
11:56And kiss me.
11:57And kiss me.
11:58And kiss me.
11:59And kiss me.
12:00Kiss me.
12:01Kiss me, kiss me.
12:25From The Yellow Star, starring Boris Karloff.
12:31Mission, sir. Mission, see, sir. Thank you, sir.
12:52Are you looking for your girlfriend, Tom?
12:55Am I what?
12:56Are you looking for Potiphar's wife?
12:58Potiphar's wife?
13:01Mission, sir. Mission, please, sir.
13:06You know, Tom, it's too infernal hot tonight to be anything but honest.
13:10Mission, sir. Mission, please, sir.
13:15Thank you, sir.
13:16It's a hot night, all right.
13:26You said it, son. It's a murdering hot night.
13:30Mary.
13:32Mary.
13:33Yes?
13:34Did you have in mind to ask me some question in reference to Hedy Bronston?
13:40Do you know you're meddling with the mixing with another man's wife?
13:44I do.
13:45Oh, why don't you stop?
13:46I tried to.
13:47I don't blame you, Tom.
13:49She's a woman with a soft, loose mouth.
13:51Anyone can see that.
13:52I tried to stop a month ago, and I'd give her a scarf.
13:56But I didn't.
13:58Now I can't.
13:59So I suppose I'll just keep on till it comes my time to pay for it.
14:04Mission, please, sir. Mission, sir. Mission, please, sir.
14:09Have I?
14:12Ouch.
14:21I don't want.
14:26Hold on.
14:32How did you count?
14:33How did you count?
14:35I don't want to.
14:39Where did you get that yellow scarf?
15:02Oh, that.
15:03I bad that.
15:03How long?
15:05A month.
15:07Where did you get it?
15:08Well, Tom, the mission boy gave it to me.
15:10What if he did any arm?
15:11Might be.
15:12Oh?
15:13Why did he give it to you?
15:16An acknowledgement because I took the pledge.
15:19The what?
15:20Odd times when I've seen him, he's been so sad and serious like wanting me to take the temperance pledge.
15:26So one night I pledged, and this is my reward for being temperate.
15:30Oh, any arm?
15:32Betty, give it to me.
15:35What?
15:36Take off the scarf and give it to me.
15:39I shan't.
15:39Take it off.
15:42You'll remember that you're my wife.
15:44My wife does not receive presents from other men.
15:47You filthy beast!
15:48Give me back my scarf!
15:48Oh, you ain't gonna crush me like this.
15:53Treat me like dirt, you filthy beast.
15:55Just because you played the good Samaritan, you think you can do what you want with me?
15:58Never speak a word to me.
15:59Why shouldn't I talk to Tom if I want to?
16:01Easy on and lively.
16:02He knows I've got blue eyes.
16:03Well, that's a kitchen maid here.
16:05Then I'll be called my soul my own.
16:07A wife's supposed to be mistress of her own home, ain't she?
16:10Well, then, do you know what I'm going to do?
16:12I'll invite him to come to supper.
16:18Yes, sir, I am.
16:19And tomorrow night it is, too.
16:20Hetty, I warn you.
16:24Don't ever ask anybody here to supper.
16:26You think I won't leave my life away with you two filthy beasts?
16:29Then, Hetty.
16:30What?
16:33Don't touch this scarf again.
16:35Touch it! I'll take it!
16:36I don't care where you hide it, I'll find it.
16:39And I'll wear it tomorrow for supper.
16:41Yes, sir, I will, I will, I will!
16:43I will, I will, I will, I will, I will.
17:13Killson, sir?
17:26Let's ask the boy from the mission to supper.
17:30The two of them can stand and listen.

20:57Biscuits?
20:58Yeah, it tells it here is a can of salmon.
21:01I've suddenly got a hunger for a bit of cold salmon on a biscuit.
21:04I like it with my whisky.
21:12You got the can opener, Hetty?
21:14I looked for a day. I couldn't find it.
21:17Well, it doesn't matter.
21:19That old hunting knife of mine will do.
21:22This one, sir?
21:25Yes.
21:29Hold the can steady for me, lad.
21:35You know, it's a funny thing about this old hunting knife.
21:38I've never actually killed anything with it.
21:41Of course, I'm not a hunter.
21:43But I imagine if anything came prowling around,
21:47I could frighten it away.
21:50Hold it steady, lad.
21:54That's right.
21:59Oh, I'm sorry, boy. The knife slipped.
22:02It's all right.
22:03Tom!
22:04It's nothing.
22:05Tom!
22:06Better bind it up, Hetty. Get something to bind it up.
22:09It's all right. I think I'll be going along now.
22:11Better that way.
22:12Too bad about supper, boy. Some other time, maybe.
22:17Tom, you can't go that way. I'm leaving.
22:19I'll get some gauze from the laboratory.
22:21No, I've got something here.
22:23I can't...
22:24Where did you get that scarpe?
22:25Did you steal it from my laboratory?
22:26Find your business.
22:27Don't use that scarpe, Hetty. I warn you, don't use it.
22:29Shut up, you beast.
22:30Hetty!
22:31Aren't you seeing me leaving?
22:32Hetty!
22:33There, you see?
22:34Well, I'm left now.
22:38Tom, whatever it is.
22:39It's burning.
22:41It's fire in me.
22:42This hell is fire racing through my veins.
22:44Wash your hands, Betty.
22:45That powder will burn.
22:46It's faintly to get you to an open cup.
22:48Come with me there.
22:49I'll see what I can do for you.
22:50You filthy devil!
22:55Oh, God.
22:56God, I can't stand it.
22:59It's that scarpe.
23:01It's going all over.
23:05What has she done to me?
23:09Oh, Mama!
23:11Mama!
23:12Mama!
23:20Bromson!
23:23What have you done?
23:25I...
23:27I warned you not to use that scarpe.
23:31He's dead.
23:35Ah!
23:38Ah!
23:40Oh!
23:41No!
23:44Hey!
23:49Ah!
23:51Oh!
23:52You'd better get your leg.
24:02I think I'd be needing a place to stay.
24:05Thank you, Boris Karloff, for a wonderful performance in The Yellow Scar.
24:26This is Rex Marshall speaking for Autolite, and in just a moment I'll tell you about next week's suspense story.
24:32But right now, here is a parade of some of the more than 400 Autolite products made in Autolite's 28 plants from coast to coast.
24:41The horns, windshield wipers, relays, ignition coils, and batteries.
24:45Autolite's stay-full batteries.
24:48The batteries that need water only three times a year in normal car use.
24:52There's the wire and the battery cables.
24:56There come the Autolite's starting motors, followed by the distributors, the generators,
25:01and the gas gauges.
25:05And there are the spark plugs, ignition-engineered resistor spark plugs.
25:10Say, look at that precision, typical of Autolite, where Autolite means precision engineering.
25:16So friends, insist on Autolite original factory parts at your neighborhood service station, car dealer, or repair shop.
25:22Remember, you're always right with Autolite.
