00:00:00The End
00:00:30I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:01:00If I were Radis, well, I'd castle in advance my bishop.
00:01:25Hello?
00:01:26Elliot, phone for you.
00:01:38Hello?
00:01:39You, Elliot, come on in here right away.
00:01:41The boy.
00:01:42But the tournament isn't over yet.
00:01:44Come on in here.
00:01:45Are you working for this newspaper or aren't you?
00:01:47Yes, sir, but Mr. Polito just made the most beautiful gambit.
00:01:51Well, gambit your hips in here.
00:01:53But if I had an idiot, I'd rather send him on this assignment than your nephew.
00:02:09But he is my brother's boy.
00:02:11Look, boss, don't get me wrong.
00:02:12In his place, he's all right.
00:02:14He's a good chess editor.
00:02:15But he's not a newspaper man, and he never will be a newspaper man.
00:02:18Poor fellow, who is he?
00:02:19You.
00:02:20Me?
00:02:21I wouldn't say that.
00:02:22Well, I will.
00:02:23I sent you out to cover the mayor's funeral and what happened, a dame shoots herself right
00:02:26over the grave.
00:02:28And you forget to mention it.
00:02:29It was bad taste.
00:02:33You see what I mean, Mr. Elliot?
00:02:34Well, it was.
00:02:35The mayor's widow was there.
00:02:36It was news.
00:02:37That's just what I was talking to your uncle about.
00:02:39You don't know what news is.
00:02:40If a man bit a dog, you'd, you'd take the dog to a veterinarian.
00:02:44That would depend upon whether or not the dog was badly hurt.
00:02:47Oh, no.
00:02:48Oh, no.
00:02:49Now, Lawrence, you listen to me.
00:02:51We're giving you one more chance.
00:02:52If you'll fail this time, I'm going to fire you, even though you are my brother's son.
00:02:57Yes, sir.
00:02:58What happened to you?
00:02:59Oh, I was hit by a bishop.
00:03:02A bishop hit you?
00:03:04Yeah, there's anything to it.
00:03:06Oh.
00:03:07Say, I've seen his face before.
00:03:08Who is that?
00:03:09I sent for you because I want you to go up.
00:03:11His face is awfully familiar.
00:03:12Who is this?
00:03:13That's Deacon Markham.
00:03:14He robs banks and knocks people off.
00:03:16Today, he got out of the state penitentiary.
00:03:18Well, they shouldn't let a man like that out.
00:03:20They shouldn't let.
00:03:22What else could they do?
00:03:24He shot the warden.
00:03:25He shot two guards.
00:03:27He kidnapped the woman in a laundry truck.
00:03:29Every member of the staff is out hunting and anybody can walk.
00:03:33You're the only one who's left.
00:03:35You mean, you want me to find him?
00:03:38No, Larry.
00:03:39Oh, no.
00:03:41I would sit down and write a little squib about the chess tournament.
00:03:44Then I want you to get your bag packed and hop a bus for Grape City.
00:03:48Oh, the tournament's called off.
00:03:50So much the better.
00:03:51You better write it down.
00:03:52Yes, sir.
00:03:52Grape City.
00:03:54Grape City.
00:03:54The Grape City Winery.
00:03:56You go there and ask for the owner.
00:03:58Ask for owner.
00:03:59Tomorrow, he's running the annual Grape City Harvest Festival,
00:04:02and they're going to choose and crown Miss Muscat.
00:04:04Boy.
00:04:05Miss Muscat.
00:04:06Boy.
00:04:08You get a photograph of her with vine leaves in her hair.
00:04:11Vine leaves and hair.
00:04:13Get all the dope on the festival and then get back here by 6 o'clock tomorrow evening.
00:04:18Or you're fired, understand?
00:04:19Fired.
00:04:20Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Joshua.
00:04:24This may not be important to you, Lawrence, but it is to us.
00:04:27The Grape City Winery is our biggest advertiser.
00:04:30And I won't fail you.
00:04:32Uh, Larry.
00:04:33What did the bishop hit you for?
00:04:36Well, uh, they threw him at me.
00:04:40And I happened to be standing there.
00:04:42Well, I'm off.
00:04:44What's he talking about?
00:04:49They threw a bishop at him.
00:04:51Oh, I don't know.
00:04:52Maybe it was a little bishop.
00:04:53He meant a chess piece.
00:04:55You know, bishop, castles, pawns, queens.
00:04:58Oh, too bad they don't play chess with crowbars.
00:05:01Chief, chief.
00:05:02It's terrific.
00:05:03Did Larry give you the chess tournament yarn?
00:05:04No.
00:05:05He said it was called off.
00:05:06It was, but didn't he tell you why?
00:05:08Should he have?
00:05:09Oh, brother, you want to see who's in the jug.
00:05:11Jug?
00:05:12It was a riot.
00:05:13The city librarian, the superintendent of schools,
00:05:15Pulido, Radiswell, the happy undertaker, the whole slew of them.
00:05:19It's all over town for fighting, mayhem, assault, and battery.
00:05:22Lawrence.
00:05:23Over here, Oliver.
00:05:31Is he a movie star?
00:05:34No.
00:05:35Oliver Waldeck, the boy genius.
00:05:37It's him, dear.
00:05:38Is he the one we heard on the radio from the university last night?
00:05:41Your boy?
00:05:42No, thank you.

00:07:59Oh.
00:08:00I got him now.
00:08:02Checkmate three moves.
00:08:03And all he has to do is move his castle.
00:08:05Then you lose your queen.
00:08:07And on the next move, you're checkmated.
00:08:17Maybe the kid is right.
00:08:19Watch this move.
00:08:33He's asleep.

00:26:53It's 40 miles.
00:26:54I'm going to get off here.
00:26:55Why, I...
00:26:56Why, I...
00:26:57It's my vacation.
00:26:58Oh, somebody drained all gas out of my bus.
00:26:59Who did it?
00:27:00That's what I want.
00:27:01Oh, did you get the sheriff?
00:27:02No.
00:27:03And miles from here on, what happens?
00:27:04My gas gives out.
00:27:05Say, what kind of a joint is this anyway?
00:27:06God's murdered, bodies disappearing, phones cut off, sabotaging my bus.
00:27:09I had to walk back.
00:27:10Oh, my corns are killing me.
00:27:11Say, I didn't do it.
00:27:12If I thought you did, I...
00:27:13How long do you think I can keep these people here?
00:27:15We've got to get the sheriff.
00:27:16I'll go after them.
00:27:17It's 40 miles.
00:27:18Yeah, but I'm a fast walker.
00:27:20Oh, no, you don't.
00:27:21Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:22Now, look, someone's got to get the sheriff.
00:27:24Oh, don't you want him around here?
00:27:26Until the law gets here, what I say, go.
00:27:28Now, everybody go to bed, and for peace' sake, stay there.
00:27:32And as for you, one more break and I'll fill you so full of holds.
00:27:37You look like a punched-out meal ticket.
00:27:39Now, get upstairs.
00:27:45Where's the note?
00:27:46There's always a note.
00:27:50You're next.
00:28:04Professor, cutting off the head of a corpse.
00:28:19It's obvious the murderer is a madman.
00:28:21Perhaps it was to forestall identification.
00:28:24Nonsense.
00:28:25Only a homicidal maniac would mutilate a body.
00:28:28Don't you agree there's something strange about this Elliot chap?
00:28:32He is odd.
00:28:34I wonder what he did with a head.
00:28:42Where are you heading?
00:28:44Headhead.
00:28:52What did I do with the head?
00:28:54We're going to get out of here.
00:29:24You look like a freak.
00:29:25You look like a frog.
00:29:26Come on, Daddy.
00:29:27Come on.
00:29:28I've got up.
00:29:29He's getting out.
00:29:31I ain't.
00:29:32You looking who's.
00:29:33I don't know the ass.
00:29:34I don't know the ass.
00:29:35I don't know the ass.
00:29:37I don't know the ass.
00:29:38I have to show you.
00:29:39The ass…
00:29:41I don't know him.
00:29:42You're pretty amazing.
00:29:43I don't know the ass.
00:29:45Larry.
00:29:57Larry.
00:30:00Let me in, please. It's urgent.
00:30:09Oh.
00:30:12What's the matter?
00:30:13Oh, nothing.
00:30:14Open.
00:30:15I already did. I mean...
00:30:17Well, go on. Open it.
00:30:22Well, you're a chess expert. Don't you recognize them?
00:30:25The ones Kublai Khan gave to Marco Polo in the 12th century.
00:30:28Pearls, jade, and gold, and emerald.
00:30:30Gee, they're wonderful.
00:30:32That set's worth a fortune.
00:30:33But you only have the white hair.
00:30:35But I know what the rest of them are.
00:30:37Where did you get these?
00:30:38Preston Walden.
00:30:45He and Charles bought the set at an auction.
00:30:47At that time, no one knew their real value.
00:30:50Then they quarreled and divided everything.
00:30:53Charles has the black hair.
00:30:54And that's where you come in.
00:30:55That's right.
00:30:56What?
00:30:57Well, he won't sell to me.
00:30:58He's mad because I went to Preston first.
00:31:00But you can make him sell.
00:31:02How?
00:31:02Well, he thinks you're the world's greatest chess player.
00:31:05He told me he'd talk business to you if you could beat him at a game of chess.
00:31:08Oh, I can't.
00:31:09I'd like to help you out, Sally, Miss Warren, but I've got to get out of here.
00:31:14But it won't take long.
00:31:16Then you can go.
00:31:17No, no.
00:31:18But, Larry, a thousand dollars is a lot of money to me.
00:31:22I can use it.
00:31:23Please help me.
00:31:24Suppose Charles beat me at chess.
00:31:26But he can't beat you.
00:31:27Please.
00:31:29All right.
00:31:30Now, look, he's in his room.
00:31:31He's expecting you.

00:45:26Well, but it'll only take a minute.
00:45:27I borrowed these from Mr. Waldeck.
00:45:39I was out walking and I got lonely.
00:45:41Don't you find it lonely here?
00:45:43Oh, I wish I did.
00:45:45You take the blacks. It's your move.
00:45:46Oh, I don't want to play now.

00:45:50My head.
00:45:51I got a headache. That's it.
00:45:53Oh, you poor boy.
00:45:55What you need is a cool compress.
00:45:57I'll get you one.
00:46:01No, no, don't you.
00:46:02No, not an air.
00:46:04Get some water over here.
00:46:08I'll wet this and put it on your forehead.
00:46:10You don't have to do that.
00:46:11But it's no trouble at all.
00:46:12Oh, come on, sit down.
00:46:24Oh, you poor boy.
00:46:30Isn't that better?
00:46:32Oh, I don't know.
00:46:33I don't know anything.
00:46:35What are you doing?
00:46:36Now, now, now, relax, relax.
00:46:38Hey, hey, wait, don't go in there.
00:46:42Don't go in there.
00:46:44All right, I may as well tell you.
00:46:46I'm not what you think I am.
00:46:47What are you?
00:46:48I'm a detective.
00:46:49A man in disguise?
00:46:50Oh, don't be foolish.
00:46:53What do you want from me?
00:46:54The Marco Polo chess set.
00:46:56I worked for the insurance company that paid off to Balboni when the set was stolen.
00:46:59We got wind that Miss Warren was in touch with Balboni about the set, so I started trailing her.
00:47:03Well, that settles everything.
00:47:05No, it doesn't.
00:47:05A man was murdered over that chess set.
00:47:07You mean the man on the bus?
00:47:08Voltaire Munts, part of the gang that stole the set from Balboni.
00:47:11You've hidden those chess men in here, haven't you?
00:47:13Now, don't go in there.
00:47:14You'll get us all killed.
00:47:18I was wondering what you were.
00:47:20Well, well, I underestimated you.
00:47:23All right, give him up.
00:47:24But not to you.
00:47:25Please, please, girls.
00:47:27Elliot, open the door.
00:47:29I want to talk to you.
00:47:30That's the manager.
00:47:31If he finds you girls in here, he'll murder me.
00:47:32If he doesn't, somebody will.
00:47:34I'm coming.
00:47:35Hi, quick, hi.
00:47:36Where?
00:47:36No, no, no, not in here.
00:47:37Don't.
00:47:37You get it.
00:47:38Under the bed.
00:47:39Under the bed.
00:47:41What am I hiding for?
00:47:46Come in.
00:47:57At last.
00:47:57Now, go to bed and don't wake us again.
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:03Oh, uh, gardenia.
00:48:05Nice.
00:48:11Have you got a woman in this room?
00:48:13Oh, uh, oh, the lip rouge.
00:48:16Oh, I use it, uh, chapped lips.
00:48:18This is yours, I suppose?
00:48:31Uh, yes, uh, I've spent, uh, quite a bit of time in, uh, Switzerland.
00:48:36You get it.
00:48:43Oh, uh.
00:48:44Oh, uh, oh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:48:49Huh?
00:48:49Why?
00:48:50Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:48:50Oh, uh, uh.
00:48:54Take it.
00:48:55I got it.
00:48:55ы
00:48:56Don't anybody move.
00:49:07What happened to you.
00:49:08I was run over by a herd of buffalo.
00:49:10Buffalo.
00:49:12They went that way Sheriff.
00:49:14Say what are you doing here.
00:49:16Studying fierce to me I.
00:49:18Are you frightened Mr. Elliott.
00:49:23Well.
00:49:23I had to get the Pulitzer price for stupidity.
00:49:27They got your chess man.
00:49:28No they didn't they got your chess man.
00:49:31I switched them I put them in the box that had you.
00:49:38Did you know I didn't.
00:49:46So that's how it was done.
00:49:48I've got it.
00:49:49I'll go out in the hall and start screaming.
00:49:51That'll bring everyone in the tavern out of their rooms.
00:49:53Then you climb down and enter the rooms below and search them.
00:49:56We'll get those chess men.
00:49:57And the murderer.
00:49:58And the murderer.
00:50:00Maybe we can think of something else.
00:50:02No this will work.
00:50:03Now when you hear me scream then you know what to do.
00:50:07Sally.
00:50:08I'll be careful.
00:50:11She'll be careful.
00:50:13Fine thing.
00:50:21Ah.
00:50:32Ah.
00:50:34Ah.
00:50:35Ah.
00:50:39Ah.
00:50:44Ah.
00:50:46Ah.
00:50:47The other half of the jewel chest.
00:51:17Sheriff have you heard anything about Mr Elliot we didn't get him to every cop in the county on the lookout.
00:51:35You don't really think he ran away do you. He probably double crossed both of us and got away with the chairman. I don't believe it.
00:51:47The other half of the jewel chest.
00:51:58The other half of the jewel chest.
00:52:39What have you there Miss Warren.
00:52:48What was that. That's nothing you're just jittery.
00:53:06Remember that I told you no drinking. Just one. I should have known better than to get myself mixed up with a wino. We just stick around here till dark then we'll go out that exit door. They probably think we're miles away from here by now anyway.
00:53:27You go now I'm just going to have another look around you stay here and keep your hands off those bottles or I'll slap you.
00:53:37Here's that.
00:53:44I'm just going to have another look around you.
00:53:51I'm just going to have another look around you.
00:53:58I'm just going to have another look around you.
