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, I'm born for you.
00:01:38Hello?
00:01:39You, Elliot.
00:01:40Come 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?
00:01:48Yes, sir, but Mr. Polito just made the most beautiful gambit.
00:01:51You'll gambit your hips in here, but if I had an idiot, I'd rather send him on this assignment
00:02:08than your nephew.
00:02:09But he is my brother's boy.
00:02:11Look, boss, don't get me wrong.
00:02:13In his place, he's all right.
00:02:14He's a good chess editor, but he's not a newspaper man, and he never will be a newspaper man.
00:02:18Poor fellow.
00:02:19Who is he?
00:02:20You.
00:02:21Me?
00:02:22I wouldn't say that.
00:02:23Well, I will.
00:02:24I sent you out to cover the mayor's funeral, and what happened?
00:02:25A dame shoots herself right over the grave, and 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, 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, what happened to you?
00:02:59Oh, I was hit by a bishop.
00:03:03A bishop hit you?
00:03:04Yeah, there's anything to it.
00:03:06Oh.
00:03:07Yeah, I've seen his face before.
00:03:08Who is that?
00:03:09Barry, I 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.
00:03:21What else could they do?
00:03:23He shot the warden.
00:03:25He shot two guards.
00:03:26He kidnapped the woman in a laundry truck.
00:03:28Every member of the staff is out hunting, and anybody could walk.
00:03:32You're the only one who's left.
00:03:34You mean, you want me to find him?
00:03:36No, Larry.
00:03:38Oh, no.
00:03:39I 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.
00:03:47Oh, the tournament's called off.
00:03:49So much the better.
00:03:50You better write it down.
00:03:51Yes, sir.
00:03:52Grape City.
00:03:53Grape City.
00:03:54The Grape City Winery.
00:03:55You go there and ask for the owner.
00:03:57Ask for owner.
00:03:58Tomorrow, he's running the annual Grape City Harvest Festival,
00:04:01and they're going to choose and crown Miss Muscat.
00:04:03Boy.
00:04:04Miss Muscat.
00:04:05Boy.
00:04:06You 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.
00:04:17Oh, you're fired, understand?
00:04:19Fired.
00:04:20You're fired, understand?
00:04:21Fired.
00:04:22Oh, 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.
00:04:34What did the bishop hit you for?
00:04:37Well, uh, they threw him at me.
00:04:40And I happened to be standing there.
00:04:43Well, I'm off.
00:04:48What's he talking about?
00:04:49They threw a bishop at him.
00:04:50Oh, I don't know.
00:04:51Maybe 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!
00:05:02Chief!
00:05:03It's terrific!
00:05:04Did Larry give you the chess tournament yarn?
00:05:05No.
00:05:06He said it was called off.
00:05:07It was, but didn't he tell you why?
00:05:08Should he have?
00:05:09Oh, brother, you ought 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,
00:05:18the whole slew of them.
00:05:19It's all over town for fighting, mayhem, assault and battery.
00:05:22Larry!
00:05:27Oliver!
00:05:28Oliver!
00:05:29Oliver!
00:05:30Oliver!

00:08:01Checkmate.
00:08:02Three moves.
00:08:03And all he has to do is move his castle.
00:08:05Then you lose your queen.
00:08:06And on the next move, you're checkmated.
00:08:17Maybe the kid is right.

The whole switchboard is dead. Yeah so is that guy out in the bus. A man the one sat next to you murdered. Well I've got to go. Murdered.
00:16:13He's gone. He's gone. Somebody swiped the corpse. That's him. That's the guy who was sitting next to the body. Now wait a minute please. I was playing chess. That settles it. That stiff had a chessman clutched in his hand. I know what I thought.
00:16:37You were sitting right next to him. So you better tell us what really happened. The sheriff will be here any minute and we don't want to be involved. Like I've been telling you right along. I was playing chess with an Eskimo. Eskimo. What's his name. Who too yuck. Spelled sideways it's still phony. I know he's telling the truth.
00:16:58Hmm. Miss Warren saw the Eskimo. No she didn't either. He was. Oh. Very interesting isn't it professor. Very. Are you getting frightened Mr. Elliot. Why should he be frightened. Yeah why should I be frightened. Someone in this room is a murderer. No telling who may be next on his list. It should be fascinating studying your reactions. Reactions to what. Fear. Fear stimuli.
00:17:25All right. All right Oliver. We don't need any stimuli from you. The bus driver's gone for the sheriff. He'll be here soon. In the meantime everybody go to your room. And stay there. Here you. You go to the room we gave you. Look. I've got to get to Grape City. Still frightened huh Mr. Elliot. And if I don't get there tonight I'll lose my job. Where you're going you won't need any job. Where I'm going I won't need. When you get out of here. Come on Larry.
00:17:51Thanks. Thanks. Oh Mr. Walden. I'll be right along. Yes yes. Uh Mr. Walden. Uh when can I talk to you. Oh Miss Warren isn't it. Oh yes yes about those dual chestnuts. Yes. Not now. Not now. Too many people too much confusion. Well later. So it is.
00:18:09What I was going to say is. Um. Say it in here.
00:18:27You've got to go away. And I don't want you to think it's because of the murder. It isn't that at all. Well Larry I know you had nothing to do with the murder. Well when they find out that I've left here. The others are going to say that I did it.
00:18:36And I want you to still keep on believing in me. Well perhaps you'd better stay here then. Oh I can't. I've got to go. I'll lose my job. My uncle said if I fail this time he'll fire me. I've got to get to Grape City. No matter what they think or what they say. Maybe I shouldn't go away and leave you. Why not? Well I. You know. When I stopped by the antique shop. It wasn't because I was interested in antiques.
00:19:06Well I. I like andions. Yes. But. I don't want anything to happen to you. Nothing's going to happen to me. Are you sure? That man was murdered. Look. Anyone on the bus could have killed him. It had nothing to do with me. I'm here on business. And soon as I talk to Charles and Preston Waldeck I'll leave. Well be careful. Promise me. When I. Finish my assignment at Grape City. I'll come back. Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:19:36Oh. Oh. I'm glad it wasn't the antiques. You were looking at. Mr. Elliott. Could you help me. Oh I'm in a hurry now. But it's a chest problem. I can't do anything with it. Chess problem. Chess? Uh huh. Come on in here where the light's better.
00:19:59It says eight in four moves and I can't do it. See. That's very simple. It's rudimentary. You move that bishop there. Then the queen there. Advance this pawn. Then that one. Mate. Oh you're wonderful. I'll try it on a chess board later. Is Miss Warren interested in chess too? Oh I don't know. It isn't the game that fascinates me so much. It's the chess men. I.
00:20:29Collect old ones you know. Jewel one. Well I'm only interested in the game. Miss Warren collects chess men doesn't she? Well she didn't say. I'd heard there was an especially fine set here and I thought that maybe.
00:20:41Fine Miss Rosson if I. If I run across any old men I'll. I'll let you know. Well I'm interested in young men too. I thought I told you to go to your room and stay there. This is a respectable talent. Well she was asking about men. Yeah well she would.
00:21:01Right.
00:21:20Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:21:50Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:22:20Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:22:50Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:23:20Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:23:50Eavesdropping, Miss Rossum.
00:26:20May I get my bag please?
00:26:38Ah, come on, get here for my paper about this.
00:26:41What in the world was all a grandkid?
00:26:43He was in the garage car.
00:26:44I was just trying to get one started.
00:26:46I've got to get to Grape City.
00:26:47Why did you get...
00:26:48For that matter, why did you get off here?
00:26:50Why, I...
00:26:50It's my vacation.
00:26:51Oh, somebody drained all gas out of my bus.
00:26:54Who did it?
00:26:54That's what I want.
00:26:55Did you get the sheriff?
00:26:56No.
00:26:57And miles from here on, what happens?
00:26:59My gas gives out.
00:27:00Say, what kind of a joint is this anyway?
00:27:02God's murdered bodies, disappearing phones cut off, sabotaging my bus.
00:27:07I had to walk back.
00:27:09Oh, my coins 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.
00:27:17I'll go after them.
00:27:17It's 40 miles.
00:27:19Yeah, but I'm a fast walker.
00:27:20Oh, no, you don't.
00:27:21Now, wait a minute.
00:27:22Now, look, someone's got to get the sheriff.
00:27:24Don'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.
00:27:33And 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.
00:27:42Where's the note?
00:27:52There's always a note.
00:28:03You're next.
00:28:12Professor, 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.
00:28:44What did I do at the head?
00:28:54I got to get out of here.
00:29:14What did I do at the head?
00:29:23What did I do at the head each other?
00:29:25Come on.
00:29:27I got to get out of here.
00:29:29Larry.
00:29:55Larry.
00:29:57Larry.
00:29:59Let me in, please.
00:30:01It's urgent.
00:30:09Oh.
00:30:12What's the matter?
00:30:13Oh, nothing.
00:30:14Open it.
00:30:15I already did.
00:30:16I mean...
00:30:17Go on, open it.
00:30:22Well, you're a chess expert.
00:30:23Don't you recognize them?
00:30:25The ones Kubla Khan gave to Marco Polo in the 12th century.
00:30:27Pearls, 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 hat.
00:30:35But I know what the rest of them are.
00:30:37Where did you get these?
00:30:44Buston 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 hat.
00:30:54And that's where you come in.
00:30:55That's where I...
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.
00:31:11Uh, Miss Warren.
00:31:12But 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.
00:31:30Look, now look, he's in his room.
00:31:31He's expecting you.
00:31:32I'll wait for you here.
00:31:34Offer him $25,000 and don't lose your head.
00:31:36All right.
00:31:41All right.
00:31:43All right.

00:56:06I mean I'll get a dose of lead.
00:56:36Well how did you get here? The killers are here.
00:56:41Killers? Which ones? Markham and his pal the bellboy. Markham's got a gun. Markham, eh?
00:56:46Yes, he's the guy that slugged me and took away the chessmen. I'm sure of that now.
00:56:50See, by the way, what are you doing here, Professor?
00:56:52Oh, I thought I might find the wine tunnels interesting.
00:56:55Oh, interesting.
00:56:57Come on, here they are!
00:57:06Let's visit!
00:57:13Oh!
00:57:15Oh!
00:57:16Oh!
00:57:18Oh!
00:57:20Oh!
00:57:23Oh!
00:57:26Oh!
00:57:29Oh!
00:57:31Maybe shut up.
00:57:46Hey!
00:57:49There he is!
00:58:01Don't come up here, I'll shoot you with your own gun.
00:58:12Come on, get down there again.
00:58:15Get down!
00:58:18Turn around and put your hands up.
00:58:26Turn around or I'll let you have it.
00:58:30Go ahead.
00:58:32Walk along.
00:58:33Keep your hands up.
00:58:37Shut up, don't shoot!
00:58:51Hold you, Professor.
00:58:53Shh.
00:58:54He just went around that way.
00:59:00It's Muntz, the dead body.
00:59:02It's Muntz, the dead body.
00:59:07Take care.
00:59:08I'm sorry!
00:59:10It's Muntz.
00:59:12Here we go.
00:59:13See you soon.
00:59:17Take care, someone.
00:59:19Hey, Maka!
00:59:46Marker!
00:59:47Marker!
00:59:48I'll back your ears down!
00:59:59This way!
01:00:16I don't know!
01:00:44Professor!
01:00:45Professor, come on out, you don't have to hide now.
01:00:47I got him.
01:00:52Professor, I got him.
01:00:55Get the sheriff.
01:01:00You don't have to come up here, I can take care of him.
01:01:02Get the sheriff.
01:01:04You don't need him, I'll help you.
01:01:07Call the sheriff.
01:01:15Oh, Professor, come on, Professor, you've got to slip.
01:01:20I'll help you, Professor.
01:01:22Put this gun on tight.
01:01:24We'll get out of that roof back there, buddy.
01:01:28Larry!
01:01:30He's so killing.
01:01:31Larry!
01:01:32The Professor, he's the killer.
01:01:33The killer?
01:01:41That Professor, I would have never suspected him of being a killer.
01:01:44He's such a refined man.
01:01:46I knew he was a criminal all the time.
01:01:48Didn't you notice his ears were lower in his eyes?
01:01:54There's something that you didn't know.
01:01:56What's that?
01:01:57In there, and I'll tell you.
01:02:03This is just between you and me.
01:02:11That's for throwing the rocks through the window.
01:02:13That's for the cabbage head.
01:02:17That's for the fireworks.
01:02:18And this one's on me.
01:02:24Boo! Are you fighting, Oliver?
01:02:29Bus is here.
01:02:30Operator?
01:02:31Long distance?
01:02:32Yes, I'm still waiting.
01:02:34I'll take those chess men.
01:02:36Thanks for all your help.
01:02:37I'll see that the insurance company pays you the $1,000 reward.
01:02:40Thanks, and good luck.
01:02:41Good luck to you.
01:02:43You're gonna need it.
01:02:45Yes?
01:02:46Yes?
01:02:47Mr. Richardson?
01:02:48Larry, here's your call.
01:02:49Mr. Richardson?
01:02:50Oh.
01:02:52Oh, uh...
01:02:54Hello, Mr. Richardson.
01:02:56Uh, this is Larry Elliot.
01:02:58I didn't go to Grave City.
01:02:59Oh, you didn't?
01:03:00Well, what happened to you, if I may be so inquisitive?
01:03:04Oh, it was nothing very interesting to you.
01:03:07I...
01:03:08I just made a little mistake and I got off at Grave Center.
01:03:11What?
01:03:12Well, I couldn't on account of the murder in the bus.
01:03:15Murder? What murder?
01:03:16Did you get the story?
01:03:17I did, but then Markham came.
01:03:20Markham came?
01:03:21Markham came?!
01:03:22Well, I would have, only, uh...
01:03:24Uh, Mr...
01:03:25What's that man's name?
01:03:26Charles Waldeck.
01:03:27Yes, they almost killed Charles Waldeck and they stole the jeweled, uh, chess men.
01:03:31And, uh...
01:03:32I met the nicest girl.
01:03:34Never mind the girl what happened to Markham?
01:03:37Markham?
01:03:38Oh, I captured him.
01:03:40Yes, and Mink.
01:03:41And the Professor.
01:03:42The Professor?
01:03:43He's the real killer.
01:03:44You know, the three of them fell in a vat of wine and they got awfully drunk.
01:03:48That's the screwiest bunch of murderers I ever captured.
01:03:51How dry I am!
01:03:54How dry I am!
01:03:58How dry I am!
01:04:02How dry I am!
01:04:04So by...
01:04:05Mr. Richardson!
01:04:07What do I do?
01:04:09Shall I go to Grave City and see Miss Muscat?
01:04:11Or shall I come in and get fired?
01:04:13Ho!
01:04:14Ho!
01:04:15Ho!
01:04:16What?
01:04:17Ho!
01:04:18I'm gonna get fired!
01:04:19Ho!
01:04:20Oh!
01:04:22No!
01:04:23No!
01:04:24No!
01:04:25No!
01:04:26No!
01:04:28No!
01:04:29No!
01:04:30No!
01:04:31No!
01:04:32No!
01:04:33I'm not!
01:04:35No!
01:04:37No!
01:04:38No!
01:04:39No!
01:04:40No!
01:04:41No!
