00:00The End
00:30Stop chasing that train, New Drummond.
00:56Aunty, the engineer would think I'm a quitter if I stop now.
01:01I see.
01:02Keep your eyes on the road.
01:04Phyllis, here, I can't.
01:05It'll be 20 more hours, darling.
01:07May I say I hope so, sir?
01:09May I say I doubt if there will ever be a wedding?
01:11What could be better our marriage this time?
01:13What prevented it five other times?
01:15Fires, murders, explosions, everything sort of an earthquake.
01:19This time, Aunty...
01:20Not your aunt, Hugh Drummond.
01:26Oh, we made it.
01:27Something seems to whisper, my love.
01:29That was only the beginning.
01:30Of our happy married life.
01:32Horrible trip to the hospital.
01:35Pardon me, my good man, but, uh, would you be good enough to tell me the way to, uh, to, uh, did I have forgotten where I wanted to go?
01:59This is Rockingham, sir.
02:00Rockingham?
02:01Oh, yes, quite so.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Rockingham Tower, the residence of Captain Drummond.
02:06Go right up the old Roman road.
02:08All you have to do is follow the furniture vans.
02:11Follow the furniture vans?
02:12Now, why nurse should I want to follow furniture vans?
02:14Well, you see, Captain Drummond's always lived at the lodge.
02:17But he's getting married tomorrow, so they're opening the towers.
02:20First time in 20 years, sir.
02:21Oh, I see.
02:22Oh, yes, yes, quite so.
02:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:25Yes.
02:26Roll the wall for the time of the year, don't you think?
02:28Hey, it's warm, all right, but it's August, you know.
02:31August?
02:32My calendar said January.
02:35Ha, ha, ha.
02:36I must have gone to turn it.
02:37Ha, ha.
02:38Thank you so much.
02:39Up the Roman road, follow the furniture vans.
02:41Captain Drummond, might.
02:42How are you, Tenney?
02:43Thank you, Miss.
02:44Miss Annelsy, Captain Drummond.
02:45Hello, Tenney.
02:46I'll put these in water if I may.
02:47I think they're in the car, Tenney.
02:48I'll see to them, Miss.
02:49Your rooms are in the east wing.
02:50The tower will be ready by dinnertime, sir.
02:51Good, Tenney.
02:52And tomorrow?
02:53I've made all arrangements, sir.
02:54Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
02:56And it's the last chance you'll have, if I have anything to say about it, you'll have.
02:59I'll see to them, Miss.
03:00Your rooms are in the east wing.
03:01The tower will be ready by dinnertime, sir.
03:03Good, Tenney.
03:04And tomorrow?
03:05I've made all arrangements, sir.
03:06Rehearsals at 11 and the wedding at 12.
03:09And it's the last chance you'll have, if I have anything to say about it, Hugh Drummond.
03:12You hear that, Tenney?
03:13No nonsense.
03:14This time we've got to get married.
03:15As they say in America, sir, this time it is in the bag.
03:19I don't like American slang, Tennyson.
03:22Shall I show you to your rooms, Miss?
03:25Bosh.
03:26Spent half my time here when I was a girl.
03:28Coming, Phyllis?
03:29Presently, Aunt Blanche.
03:30I'm afraid Auntie doesn't like us.
03:32But I do.
03:33That will be Mr. Longworth, sir.
03:36Yes, making himself useful again.
03:38I'm afraid so, sir.
03:40How to yourself?
03:41I don't know, old boy.
03:43The way you saved that barge is remarkable.
03:46Quite acrobatic, wasn't it?
03:48Hello, boy.
03:50The sparkle in those eyes can mean only one thing.
03:54Happiness.
03:55Scotland Yard waits while I attend your wedding.
03:58Thank you, Colonel.
03:59By the way, did I hear a crash?
04:01Oh, yes.
04:02All the way from the top shelf, old boy.
04:04And never broke it.
04:05It's wacky for you, Algie.
04:06That's a genuine Ming worth 200 pounds.
04:08200 pounds?
04:09I'd better put it right.
04:11Oh.
04:17It was worth 200 pounds, old boy.
04:21This way, Mr. Bolton.
04:23Mr. Tennyson should be somewhere about.
04:26Mr. Tennyson?
04:27He's in charge of the staff.
04:29I thought the butler was usually in charge.
04:32Captain Drummond's gentleman's gentleman.
04:35He's the one you have to keep your eye on at Rockingham.
04:38Why, he's even discharged the new cook.
04:40Oh, that came only this morning.
04:42Because she didn't agree with him about the Yorkshire pudding.
04:46He's the whole cheese, I can tell you.
04:49Quite so, Mrs. Tolz.
04:51The cheese.
04:52The whole cheese.
04:53Oh, I'm sure, sir.
04:54I didn't mean that.
04:55Quite so.
04:56You'll see that those roses are put in Miss Clavering's room.
04:59Yes, sir.
05:00You're bolton the new butler?
05:01Shush, Miss Agency sent me down, Mr. Tennyson.
05:03No.
05:06Been in some nice families.
05:08Oh, yes, sir.
05:09The very best.
05:10Yes, you'll begin your duties at once.
05:11Mrs. Thomas will show you at your quarters.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:28Hmm.
05:29State papers of Roger Baton.
05:32How frightfully interesting.
05:34I wonder what addition it is.
05:37Oh.
05:38Excuse us, sir.
05:40Oh, that's quite all right.
05:42Go right ahead.
05:43Go right ahead.
05:44Go right ahead.
05:50Wait.
05:52Pardon me, but is there something you want, sir?
05:56Oh, no, no, no.
05:57Nothing at all, no, no.
05:59Oh, is that my tea?
06:01Hmm.
06:02Well, just put it somewhere.
06:04Somewhere.
06:05Pardon me, sir, but this is Captain Drummond's tea.
06:08Oh, Captain Drummond, yes.
06:09Oh, I asked him to come and see me, yes.
06:11Show him in.
06:12Show him in.
06:13Pardon me, sir, but Captain Drummond is in.
06:16Oh, how stupid.
06:17I came to see him, didn't I?
06:19Oh, just a moment.
06:20Oh.
06:21Oh.
06:22Would you be so good as a teller mine here?
06:26Very good, sir.
06:27You'll wait here, sir?
06:28Oh, yes, you.
06:29Yes, yes, yes.
06:30I'll wait, yes.
06:31Come in.
06:32That's odd.
06:33I distinctly heard a knock.
06:34These things have no fixed value.
06:35Only one of collectors willing to pay for them.
06:36Splendid.
06:37Oh, come in.
06:38Oh, come in.
06:39That's odd.
06:40I distinctly heard a knock.
06:41These things have no fixed value.
06:42Only one of collectors willing to pay for them.
06:43Splendid.
06:44Oh, come on.
06:45Gentlemen, to see you, sir.
06:46Oh.
06:47Professor Downey, research department, museum of historical documents.
06:48Downey?
06:49What's he doing here?
06:50Well, do you know him, Colonel?
06:51Well, I've met him.
06:52In Scotland Yard?
06:53You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
06:59I like that.
07:00I'd see him if I were you, Hugh. He's a quaint old bird. Knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:05I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:06I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:07Hey, good.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Good as new, almost.
07:10That makes me feel much better.
07:11I'm so glad of that. Just let it dry for a few hours, will ya?
07:13Oh, put it where it will be safe.
07:14Be careful, Alzi.
07:15Ha ha.
07:16Not twice, Hugh.
07:17Not twice, Hugh.
07:18Oh, come on.
07:19You know, Hugh.
07:20You know, Hugh, just because I happen to associate with you and your friends does not necessarily mean that all my acquaintances are rascals.
07:23I like that.
07:24I'd say, if I were you, Hugh, he's a quaint old bird.
07:26He knows more English history than any man I've ever heard of.
07:28I'll sue him in, Tenny.
07:29He good.
07:30Yeah.
07:31Good as new, almost.
07:32Be careful, Alzi.
07:33Ha ha.
07:34Not twice, Hugh.
07:35Ha ha ha.
07:36Ha ha ha.
07:37Ha ha ha.
07:38Oh.
07:39Oh.
07:40Oh.
07:41Oh.
07:42Oh.
07:43Oh.
07:44Oh.
07:45Oh.
07:46Oh.
07:47Professor Downey.
07:49Excuse me, uh, did you break something?
07:53Oh, Professor Downey, I'm Hugh Drummond. You're just in time for tea.
07:58Oh, I just had some tea out there.
08:00Oh, I see you've got some more here. How jolly.
08:02Ha ha ha.
08:03Ha ha.
08:04This is Alzi Longworth.
08:05Longworth.
08:06Anglo-Norman name, 11th century.
08:08How do you do?
08:09How do you do?
08:10Ha ha.
08:11Ha ha.
08:12Won't you come and meet my friends, Professor?
08:13Oh, oh.
08:14I'd be delighted.
08:15Ha ha.
08:16Phyllis, may I present Professor Downey, Miss Clevering.
08:19Ha ha.
08:20Charmed, dear.
08:21And Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
08:22How are you?
08:23Oh, a fellow Scot.
08:24Ha ha ha.
08:25And what part might I ask of Scotland?
08:26Excuse me.
08:27No, no, no, Professor, you misunderstand.
08:30Colonel Nielsen is Commissioner of Scotland Yard.
08:32Oh, yes.
08:33I wrote a history about it once.
08:35Rather overrated, I fear.
08:36Scotland Yard?
08:37Oh, no, no.
08:38My book.
08:39Tea, Professor?
08:40Oh, thanks.
08:41Nothing like a good cup of hot tea on a cold January day.
08:48Oh, perhaps I should explain the reason of my visit.
08:52It's about the treasure.
08:53Treasure?
08:54What treasure?
08:55I estimate the value to be in the neighborhood of one million pounds.
08:58Of course, in the days of Charles I, the value of the pound wasn't...
09:01What on earth are you talking about, Professor?
09:03Ah, I'd better explain.
09:05Yes, yes, I will explain.
09:07You've heard of, uh, Bori Isliani.
09:10No, I can't say that I have.
09:12Well, he was my assistant in the museum until I had him arrested three years ago.
09:16Arrested?
09:17What for?
09:18Professor.
09:19Theft of these.
09:20At least, I should say, a temporary theft since I've still got them.
09:23He was a scoundrel, sir.
09:25A sane, clever-thinking scoundrel, sir, who masqueraded under the name of Seton.
09:30Henry Seton.
09:32Stop it, Hugh.
09:33Before something happens.
09:34Not a chance, Tony.
09:35Professor, may I ask what those papers are?
09:37Oh, oh, oh, these are the plans of the ancient rooms and passages below Rocky Mount Tower.
09:42What, my own place?
09:43Yes.
09:44And this, this is the diary of Colonel John Cooper, a royalist officer,
09:48under Charles I.
09:49One of my ancestors, darling.
09:50There's a portrait of him in the long gallery.
09:52Yes, we have a copy in the museum.
09:54Look rather at Blaggard, a bit like you, uh, Captain Drummond.
10:02Did I say something amusing?
10:04Not at all, Professor.
10:05Please go on.
10:06Let me see, where was I?
10:07Oh, yes, I was puzzled as to why Seton should want to steal these particular papers.
10:11So I made a study of them together with all contemporary documents I had in my possession.
10:16And I came to the conclusion that there is a treasure, King's treasure, hidden somewhere.
10:22Here, perhaps, under our very feet.
10:24Did you hear that, darling?
10:25Right here in Rockingham.
10:26I might have known it.
10:27And now, uh, this is, uh, what, uh, Colonel Cooper says in his diary.
10:32Riding all day and all night, got safely to Rockingham with the King's treasure.
10:36Did you hear that, darling?
10:37I heard.
10:38My wound, very painful.
10:41Conceal all the treasure in the passages without a rousing suspicion of the servants.
10:46Dead will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
10:50Those are the passages, Captain Drummond, according to the plans.
10:53Rockingham is positively honeycombed.
10:56Why, I was through them scores of times when a boy...
10:59Then you saw the crypt, the tower of the waters, the chamber of the spikes.
11:02The what?
11:03The tower of the water, the chamber of spikes.
11:05No, no, darling.
11:06No, they're new to me, sir.
11:07Then you haven't seen the places mentioned in this diary.
11:10Perhaps I didn't see them all.
11:12My father had the entrance to those passages walled up.
11:14Where was the entrance?
11:16In one of the storerooms, I believe.
11:18Why, the one directly below this, as a matter of fact.
11:20Obviously, there's another set of passages.
11:23The diary describes them minutely.
11:26And where's the entrance to those passages, Professor?
11:29Unfortunately, Colonel, I cannot tell you yet.
11:32Good.
11:33You see, this diary makes use of a device very common at the time, a secret cipher.
11:39So that it conceals the exact location.
11:42Observe.
11:43And there it will remain until my royal master hath need of it.
11:49U-R-E-Z-Q-S-L-T-I-S.
11:54Sounds like Greek to me.
11:55Oh, no, no, my dear sir.
11:57If it were Greek, there'd be no different thing.
11:59Well, it's all very exciting, Professor, but I'm afraid it's not going to make us much richer.
12:04How's that, darling?
12:05Oh, my dear sir, you are wrong.
12:07I have already made progress in reading the cipher.
12:10You have?
12:11Mm-hmm.
12:12But I am hampered as to exact data concerning the tower itself.
12:16Now, I thought perhaps if I might see it.
12:23Professor, I'm to be married tomorrow.
12:26And the treasure that becomes mine then is all that interests me.
12:30Bravo, darling.
12:31That was a very pretty speech.
12:33But I should be glad to have you as my guest for as long as you may require to carry out your researches.
12:37Oh, my dear Captain Drummond, you make me very happy.
12:41What a wonderful adventure this is going to be.
12:45That's what I'm afraid of.
12:59Professor Downey asked me to give you this.
13:02He said he thought you might like to read it tonight.
13:05Cooper's diary, huh?
13:06Very thoughtful of him.
13:07You made him comfortable, Telly?
13:08In the north wing, sir.
13:09He's engrossed in studying the scythar.
13:11You might put it beside my bed.
13:13Take a good job.
13:14Your elaborate indifference doesn't fool me a bit, Hugh Drummond.
13:17I know you're positively aching to tear rocking him to pieces stone by stone.
13:21Darling, a million pounds.
13:23Hugh, please, won't you tell him to...
13:29Help!
13:32Help!
13:33Help!
13:34Help!
13:36What a fool I am.
13:37On my record, darling, you're justified in expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
13:41If anything should happen now.
13:42Not this time, sweet.
13:43We'll be married tomorrow at the stroke of twelve.
13:45What prevented it five other times?
13:46Fires, murders, explosions, everything short of an earthquake.
13:52We'll be going.
13:53Get married tomorrow.
13:54We'll be going.
13:55Get married tomorrow.
13:59We'll be going.
14:00We'll be going.
14:01We'll be going.
14:02Get married tomorrow.
14:06I'll be going.
14:07I'll be going.
14:08I'll be going.
14:10Get married tomorrow.
14:21Where's the clergyman?
14:23He'll be a long old boy. Don't get nervous.
14:25I thought everything was arranged.
14:27Don't worry, darling. It is.
14:32Cut it out, big boy.
14:34Don't tell me married life is going to spoil your sense of humor.
14:37Bet you forgot the ring.
14:41Uh, quit to a jurorsenek, I haven't.
14:52You, you, you really want to marry me, don't you?
14:55Can you imagine my not wanting to marry me?
15:07You have the most uncanny faculty for getting into trouble...
15:22Colonel! Colonel Neal!
15:27You, Drummond, you have the most uncanny faculty for getting into trouble just when you're about to be married.
15:33You're wasting your time, Drummond.
15:38Below you is the Thames River, and I will.
15:52Tenny! Yes, sir. This place is going to blow up any minute. Get out before you have a chance.
16:10Tenny. Tenny!
16:13I tried to give satisfaction to him.
16:16Louder, Tenny. Louder!
16:22No!
16:25Oh, my God.
16:55Let's go.
17:25I'm expecting battle, murder, and sudden death.
17:30If anything should happen now.
17:31At this time, sweetie.
17:32We'll be married tomorrow at the Spruce.
17:35In a wedding or out of it, I am the best man.
17:55Here.
18:16Captain Drummond, Captain Drummond, help, Mr. Longworth, colonel, help.
18:46Tenny, Tenny, what happened?
18:55We appear to have had a slight touch of nightmare, sir.
19:00It was no nightmare that hit me on the chin.
19:02Then it wasn't you who hit me, sir?
19:06Hey, open the door.
19:09Have you two been fighting?
19:18Fighting?
19:19Oh, no, sir.
19:20It's you.
19:21Now, darling, there's nothing to worry about.
19:22I warned you, if we came down here, something would happen.
19:24What was it?
19:25Probably a second story man, colonel, thought Rockingham was still unoccupied.
19:28We rather got the worst of it, eh, Tenny?
19:30It could hardly be called a holiday, sir.
19:32Let's go after the blackers, old boy.
19:34There was only one, Algie, only one.
19:36Only one?
19:38You mean you let one man knock you both down and then get away?
19:41Oh, dear, dear, dear, you're slipping, old thing.
19:44You too, Tenny.
19:45And we are humiliated, sir.
19:48Phyllis, you mark my words.
19:51He'll wriggle out of this wedding just as he did all the others.
19:54That's hardly fair, Aunt Blanche.
19:55I was just reading Colonel Cooper's diary.
20:05It's gone.
20:06And so am I.
20:07Good night.
20:08Colonel, somebody beside Downey thinks there's treasure hidden in Rockingham.
20:11You didn't see his face?
20:12I couldn't see anything because of that pillow.
20:14Afterwards we smashed the lamp and it was too dark.
20:16Hugh, you really want to marry me, don't you?
20:19No.
20:20Can you imagine my not wanting to marry you?
20:21Then let's leave here now.
20:23We can be in London in an hour and...
20:25All right, darling, we'll do that very thing.
20:30Captain Drummond's room?
20:33Yes, Professor Downey.
20:35He wants to speak to you, says it's urgent.
20:38Don't talk to him, Hugh.
20:39He's my house guest, darling.
20:40I must.
20:41All right.
20:42There, there, old girl.
20:43It's quite all right.
20:44Nothing's going to happen.
20:45Yes, Professor.
20:46Yes, I know it's midnight.
20:48He's six minutes late.
20:49You have?
20:50He's solved the cipher.
20:51Go on, Professor.
20:52Are you certain?
20:53Yes, yes, yes.
20:54I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
20:56Henry Seaton.
20:57Hello.
20:58Hello.
20:59Are you there?
21:00Yes, yes, yes.
21:01I can lead you directly to the hiding place.
21:03Henry Seaton.
21:04Hello.
21:05Hello.
21:06Are you there?
21:07No.
21:08No.
21:09No.
21:10No.
21:11No.
21:12No.
21:13No.
21:14No.
21:15No.
21:16No.
21:17No.
21:18So you know where the treasure is, Professor Downey.
21:21Yes, Henry.
21:22Now I know why you tried to steal the Cooper Diary.
21:26You saved me a lot of work.
21:28Line's dead.
21:29I knew it.
21:30Tenny!
21:31I had the mill, sir.
21:32I give up.
21:33No, darling.
21:34Why, no.
21:35It's not your fault.
21:36The fates are against us.
21:37It would be the same if we were to Timbuktu to get married.
21:39But, sweetheart.
21:40As long as that is the way it is.
21:42Tenny, give me a pistol.
21:44Darling, you are one in a thousand.
21:45Last time, I was well in a million.
21:49Professor! Professor Downey!
21:51I say, old boy, let me, will you?
21:54Hello!
21:55Are you there?
21:57Are you there?
21:58I have to hear so.
22:01Stand back now.
22:07Let Algy try it, Hugh.
22:08Yes, I'll show you how, old boy. Hold this, will you?
22:15Ow!
22:17Oh, now, darling, no nerves, old girl, no nerves.
22:21In heaven's name, Hugh Drummond, couldn't you wait until morning?
22:24What is it, sir?
22:25That's what we're trying to find out, Bull.
22:26Pardon me, sir.
22:27And if you'll pardon me, sir.
22:31Do you really intend to marry this, this lunatic?
22:34I'm doing my best.
22:35Come and protect your children.
22:37We'll name the first girl after you, Auntie.
22:39Bosh!
22:40Well, well, well, hurry up. I want to get back to sleep.
22:45Pardon me.
22:47Never mind, Danny.
22:49I'll follow you, sir.
23:07Hello.
23:08Rockingham Police Station.
23:10This is Colonel Nielsen of Scotland Yard.
23:13A man has been killed at Rockingham...
23:15No, no, no, no, no, wait a minute.
23:17Not the lodge.
23:18Rockingham Tower.
23:20Notify the coroner
23:21and send a detail of police over here to patrol the grounds.
23:25Yes?
23:26Have them report to me personally.
23:27I'll explain when they arrive.
23:29Colonel!
23:30Hold the line, will you a minute?
23:31What is it, Algy?
23:32I've been thinking.
23:34What about?
23:37Nothing.
23:39I'm not surprised.
23:52I've checked the windows and doors in this wing, Mr. Tennyson.
23:54And the billiard room?
23:55Everything is secure, sir.
23:56You can start on the second floor.
23:57Very good, sir.
24:04I say thank you.
24:06How's that, Blanche?
24:07Hugh gave her a sleeping tablet.
24:09Good, just what she needed.
24:11Colonel, Downey mentioned someone by the name of Seton, didn't he?
24:14Hugh, this is interesting.
24:16Isiani, or Seton, was released from prison yesterday.
24:19I just got that from the yard as you came in.
24:21Then he's the man who murdered the professor.
24:22And tried to do me in.
24:24And stole Cooper's diary from your room.
24:26And Downey's key to the cipher.
24:27Which means that Seton will try to get into Rockingham again.
24:30And that is why I had Tenney and Bolton lock all the doors and windows, my dear Sherlock Holmes.
24:35And that is why I ordered a detail of police to patrol the grounds, my dear Watson.
24:40If you had an ounce of brains, you'd leave the doors and windows open.
24:47And let the fellow walk off with a million pounds?
24:50And if I remember my Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson managed to get married.
24:55Which is more than you'll ever do, Hugh Drummond, as long as you keep fooling around with treasure trove and that villainous diary.
25:02Sit down, Auntie.
25:03Oh, I don't want to sit down.
25:04But Auntie, we haven't got the diary.
25:06I beg your pardon, sir.
25:09I found it under the window of Professor Downey's room.
25:12Good, Tenney.
25:14See, Phyllis.
25:15Deception.
25:17Collusion.
25:18Hugh, I'm afraid.
25:20That book brought death to Professor Downey.
25:23Please get rid of it, won't you?
25:26All right, darling, I will.
25:28Now.
25:29Tenney?
25:30Yes, Kipton?
25:31The diary.
25:32A match?
25:37A newspaper?
25:38Yes, Kipton.
25:41The Times.
25:42Thank you, sir.
25:43You're welcome.
25:46Times, sir.
25:47And a fireplace.
25:48I follow you, sir.
25:53You're quite certain, sir?
25:55Fire, Tenney.
25:56Flames.
25:57As you say, sir.
25:59You see?
26:01Maybe I was mistaken, Hugh.
26:05You're a nice boy.
26:09Come now, dear.
26:10We can sleep.
26:16I say, old boy.
26:17Did she kiss you?
26:19Did she, Elsie?
26:20I saw her.
26:22Maybe she did, Elsie.
26:24Maybe she did.
26:26Well, there goes a million pounds.
26:32That's love, old boy.
26:34Real love.
26:36Maybe it is, Elsie, but somehow I...
26:38Well, I feel like a quitter.
26:40I beg your pardon, son.
26:42But if you feel any pangs of regret about burning the diary,
26:46I took the precaution to burn the telephone directories off.
26:50Just in case.
26:52Tenney, you're magnificent.
26:54I tried to give satisfaction, sir.
26:57You're a valetable treasure, sir.
26:59Treasure, indeed, Tenney.
27:01And with this, we'll find it, eh?
27:03As they say in America, though.
27:05One can't be shot for trying.
27:08You're wrong, Tenney.
27:10Professor Donnie wants...
27:11Well, anything doing?
27:12Nothing irregular.
27:13Nothing but me losing a good night's sleep.
27:15I wish they see Henry Seaton were in Halifax, I do.
27:17Yeah, cooperating with Scotland Yard to catch Henry Seaton
27:19might win you a promotion, my boy.
27:20Aye, or a bullet in the back.
27:22Yeah, talk hearty now.
27:23Talk hearty.
27:24Hearty?
27:25Hearty, may I.
27:27Go on, carry on.
27:28K-K-O-N, M's the 13th letter.
27:45If that were transposed, we'd have...
27:48We'd have N.
27:49If that were transposed, we'd have...
27:52We'd have N.
27:54Halsey, wake up!
27:55Oh, leave me alone, leave me alone.
27:57Come on, old boy, you promised to help.
27:59No, no, don't, darling, don't.
28:01What?
28:02Oh, it's you, huh?
28:04Oh, then she didn't slap me.
28:06Who didn't?
28:07The girl on the bus.
28:09We were riding down Piccadilly,
28:11and just as I kissed her, you slapped me.
28:14I'm sorry, old boy.
28:15Oh, that's all right.
28:16I'll probably see her again sometime.
28:18Now, look, Halsey, I've got the...
28:20Hugh, I forgot to ask for a telephone number.
28:25Look, Halsey, I've got it.
28:26The first letter, it's N, I think.
28:28First letter in what?
28:30In the alphabet, Halsey, the letter N.
28:32N in the alphabet.
28:34That's funny.
28:35Shut up. Now, here, look at that.
28:39Z, Y, X, W, B, U.
28:43Now, it's a reversed alphabet,
28:44directly above a normal A, B, C one.
28:47Oh, right, Hal.
28:48A is Z, and B is Y.
28:51Right.
28:52Now, when I read you a letter,
28:53you write down the one directly above it
28:54in the reversed alphabet.
28:56Uh, I get it.
28:57I think.
28:58Yeah.
28:59X.
29:00X.
29:01C.
29:02L.
29:03O.
29:04L.
29:05Go on.
29:06X.
29:07C.
29:08L.
29:09O.
29:10Now, that's the first word.
29:12What does it spell?
29:13Coo-coo.
29:15Coo-coo.
29:17Coo-coo?
29:18Doesn't make sense, does it?
29:20Well, that depends on the point of view, Halsey.
29:23Oh, confound it if we only have Professor Downey's notes.
29:27Y.
29:28I.
29:29R.
29:30Z.
29:31A.
29:32I.
29:33R.
29:34Y.
29:35B.
29:36R.
29:37I.
29:38R.
29:39Y.
29:40B.
29:41R.
29:42I.
29:43O.
29:44L.
29:45O.
29:46L.
30:07Great help you'd sound out to be.
30:09Three clubs.
30:10I'd give anything for just one.
30:13Doubled.
30:14With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
30:19Fold three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
30:24But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
30:36Y.
30:37R.
30:38A.
30:39R.
30:40B.
30:41I.
30:42L.
30:43I.
30:44L.
30:45I.
30:46L.
30:47I.
30:48I.
30:49I.
30:50I.
30:51L.
30:52I.
31:54Oh, how are you?
32:24It's out, Elsie.
32:27What are you shooting at me for?
32:54He's got my mate, sir.
33:00You see who it was?
33:01No, sir.
33:02Let's get him inside.
33:05Tammy!
33:05Hurry down.
33:06What's the matter with the lights?
33:08He was much to bloom, sir.
33:12It's all right now, sir.
33:12Oh, it's you, Colonel.
33:27He's done, Forster.
33:29You?
33:29What is it?
33:34It's one of the constables, dear.
33:40I beg your pardon, miss.
33:41Over here, Bolton.
33:42Yes, Mr. Tennyson.
33:44You'd better go to your room, darling.
33:46Yes, and keep Aunt Blanche in hers.
33:48She must have slept right through it.
33:50Well, that's something to be thankful for.
33:52Alf had a feeling that Seton would get him, sir.
33:54Any instructions?
33:55Yes, locate your menace station
33:56close around the house.
33:58Very good, sir.
34:00Poor fellow.
34:01It might have been you
34:02if Seton had got inside.
34:03But he was inside.
34:05We saw him.
34:06You saw him?
34:08Where?
34:10In this very room, Colonel.
34:11He must have hidden somewhere
34:12after he killed Downey.
34:14That explains why the lights went off
34:15and why the burglar alarm sounded
34:17when he went out.
34:18Confound it, Elsie,
34:19if you hadn't made such a racket.
34:20Well, I'm sorry, old boy.
34:21I was only trying to help.
34:22I know, I know.
34:24Well, besides,
34:25Seton won't try and get inside again tonight.
34:27How do we know he isn't in now?
34:29We saw him go through those doors.
34:31He had plenty of time to come back
34:32while we were outside, Elsie.
34:34Oh, Hugh.
34:34Oh, yeah.
34:36You mean he may be hiding
34:37in one of those secret passages,
34:38waiting to pop out
34:39and corpse one of us?
34:41Well, it's not unlikely.
34:43He has Downey's key to the cypher, you know.
34:45And we don't know where those passages are.
34:47Not the ones Downey mentioned at any rate.
34:49Tenney, Bolton.
34:50Coming, sir.
34:53We're going over to this house
34:56from cellar to attic.
34:57Darling, you better go to your room
34:58and lock yourself in and stay there.
35:00Bolton, see Miss clapping to her room
35:01and stay on guard in the hall.
35:03Very good, sir.
35:03But, Hugh, I'm...
35:04Please do as I say, darling.
35:06All right.
35:11Elsie.
35:12Elsie, you take this floor
35:13and I'll do the cellar.
35:14Tenney, you take the upper floors.
35:16Oh, what am I to do, Hugh?
35:18Well, Colonel, you stay here.
35:19If Seton comes back...
35:20I'll mow him down.
35:22All right, Hugh, I'll carry on.
35:23Bulldog, Drummond, Secret Police.
35:27Could have gone that way.
35:28I don't think so, sir.
35:29He would have had to pass one of my men
35:31I had stationed at the front gate.
35:32And he didn't take the path toward the lodge?
35:35No, sir, because that's where I was on duty
35:36when it happened.
35:37He could have gone through the floor beds
35:38and escaped through the woods.
35:39Not unless he had seven-league boots, Colonel.
35:41That bed's over 20 feet wide.
35:42There's another footprint on it.
35:43And had he gone that way...
35:45He would have met us.
35:45Which he did not.
35:46Well, we can't let him get away with this, Colonel.
35:49He's made a fair job of it so far.
35:51May I get up now, sir?
35:52Oh, yes, Tenney, thank you.
35:55Well, that gives us a pretty fair idea
35:57of what took place here last night.
35:58Except how he got away.
36:00Yes, Alcy, except how he got away.
36:03And if he didn't go that way,
36:04and if he didn't go that way...
36:05Or that way.
36:06Then which way did he go?
36:07Up, sir.
36:09Up.
36:10Yes, Alcy, up.
36:12The ivy!
36:13Huh?
36:16Look, Colonel, he's left the trail of broken ivy.
36:21He's playing his day.
36:21Now, will you believe he's somewhere in the house?
36:23In the passages, Colonel.
36:24And when we open the entrance to the ones I'm familiar with...
36:26We'll try to find the entrance to the ones he's familiar with.
36:28Right.
36:29Have you ordered the men from the village, Tenney?
36:30They started to open the wall in the storeroom an hour ago, sir.
36:33Good.
36:34Now we'll see if Seton went through the window
36:35or made it to the roof.
36:36Whatever, Hill.
36:37Right.
36:38See you in the third floor, sir.
36:39Right, Tenney?
36:39Wedding festivities, indeed.
36:42This place is a museum of horrors.
36:44Not just one murder, but two.
36:47Two murders in one night.
36:48There, there, Aunty.
36:49It's all over now.
36:52What's that?
36:53What is it?
36:54Help!
36:55Help!
37:00Sorry, darling.
37:00I thought you were downstairs having breakfast.
37:02Hugh Drummond, what are you doing?
37:04Peering in my window.
37:06Now, perhaps you realize the kind of man you're marrying?
37:08Please, Aunt Blanche, let me explain.
37:10I'm following Seton.
37:11Yes, climbing up walls like a bat.
37:13That's how he got away.
37:14Up the ivy to one of the rooms above this, I think.
37:17I'm through.
37:18I've had enough.
37:19I'm taking the next train back to town, and so are you.
37:21But, Aunty, we're going to be married at noon.
37:24Well, I could be done to death 20 times before then.
37:26Oh, Aunt Blanche.
37:28I'm not your aunt.
37:29I wouldn't be your aunt if an act of parliament decreed it.
37:32It's but you're Phyllis' aunt, and you can't desert her like this.
37:34Oh, can't I?
37:36I suppose you will stop me.
37:38You, you, you, you'll find climbing Dracula.
37:44You better go.
37:46I'll talk to her.
37:49No, not that way.
37:51Down.
37:52Anything for you, darling?
37:53Whoa!
37:55Don't worry, darling, that's much the easiest way to come down.
38:11Captain Drummond.
38:12Yes, Denny?
38:13There's no trace of him in this room, sir.
38:15Well, try the next one, then.
38:17That'll be Bolton's room, sir.
38:18Well, go over and see if the vines are torn over there on the right.
38:21Very good, sir.
38:25Bolton!
38:27Bolton!
38:33Bolton!
38:33Tell me!
38:37Tell me!
38:39I thought he doesn't answer.
38:41Let's go up.
38:42Captain Drummond!
38:43What is it, Sergeant?
38:44Foul play, sir.
38:45One of my men found a body in clear wood.
38:47What, another one?
38:48Yes, sir.
38:48And we're hoping that you can identify him.
38:50What makes you think that?
38:51Because, sir, he was coming here.
38:53Here?
38:53Open season at Rockingham.
38:54The station master identified him as a passenger on the 215 yesterday.
38:58He asked the way to the tower, sir.
39:00What did he look like?
39:01Well, sir, he, uh...
39:02He was a...
39:04He was a man about 40.
39:05Of medium height.
39:07Said he was your new butler, sir.
39:09Bolton!
39:09I've got it.
39:11Bolton started for Rockingham.
39:12And it was Seton who arrived.
39:13Right.
39:14He must have met Bolton on the train and...
39:15I say, Hugh, what's happened to Tenny?
39:17Tenny!
39:18We're wasting time.
39:20Sergeant, let no one leave the house.
39:22Right, sir.
39:24Here, Alzie.
39:38Huh?
39:38Up there.
39:39Oh!
39:41Did you get my hot water bottle, Phyllis?
39:46Bolton, what are you doing in my room?
39:48Whoa!
39:53Tenny!
39:54Well, he doesn't seem to be in the water bottle.
40:05Where is everyone, Bolton?
40:07In the garden, I believe, Miss Clavering.
40:09Captain Drummond is examining the ivy.
40:10Oh, thank you.
40:12Captain Drummond, take it easy, old boy.
40:13What happened?
40:14What did you see?
40:15Stars, sir.
40:19Auntie.
40:20Auntie.
40:24Auntie!
40:26The first bolted himself.
40:27Yes, we know, Tenny.
40:28We know.
40:38Hugh!
40:39Hugh, where are you?
40:40Hugh!
40:41What on earth are you doing?
41:01Captain Drummond must have found the entrance to the passages, Miss.
41:12But I thought the entrance was...
41:12Phyllis!
41:15Phyllis!
41:21Phyllis!
41:22Phyllis!
41:22She must be with Seton.
41:25But where?
41:26That's what we've got to find out, Algy.
41:27See if the men have opened the wall in the storeroom.
41:30Colonel, I'm sure that screen came from here.
41:31There must be an entrance somewhere.
41:40Hey!
41:41Those old blighters didn't half-wall up the entrance to these here passages, they didn't.
41:44Wait a minute, I'm the old blighter that worn it up twenty years ago!
41:53Blimey, what's he doing?
41:55Making a bomb, young fellow, my lad.
41:58Bottle, fuse, and gunpowder.
42:03It'll blow open the entrance to that passage in no time at all.
42:11Won't it damage the house, sir?
42:13Not a chance, or no.
42:14I learned all about this sort of thing during the war.
42:16Pardon me, sir.
42:17We're both needed in the laborer, sir.
42:19Right, ho.
42:20I'll toddle along.
42:34Confound it, Colonel.
42:34These panels are like the rock at Gibraltar, all of them.
42:36This code isn't solving, either.
42:38Well, what do you expect?
42:39It took Donnie three years to work it out.
42:40You can't do it in ten minutes.
42:41Now, now, don't get the wind up, Hugh.
42:43But, Colonel, Phyllis.
42:45Algie, Teddy!
42:47Right here, old boy.
42:48Hi, sir.
42:49Oh, good work, Teddy.
42:50Huh?
42:50Don't get busy, all of you.
42:51Yeah, but I say, Hugh, I've never used one of these things.
42:54It's just like a corkscrew, Algie.
42:55Oh, I know how to do that.
42:56I wouldn't try it if I were you.
43:12You know, these passengers are like catacombs.
43:16May I ask what you propose to do with me?
43:18I don't know.
43:20You know something I hadn't counted on.
43:22You know just how you're going to get out of here.
43:25Well, that's the way we came in.
43:27I suppose it hasn't occurred to you they'll be waiting in the library.
43:32They know the entrance is there.
43:34Do they?
43:35We heard them.
43:37So they must have heard me when I screamed.
43:40Oh, you're a smart girl.
43:42The tower of waters.
44:04Now I know how I'm going to get out of here.
44:07Too bad?
44:08What?
44:09Oh, through the library.
44:11With you is my ticket.
44:12So don't try to get it where you can.
44:13I wouldn't like it.
44:27Chamber of the spikes.
44:38It's worth a hundred quid if it's worth a penny.
44:40Here, put it on.
44:41No.
44:42Not good enough for a lady's advice, I suppose.
44:45I've got it, sir.
44:46Good work.
44:47Good work.
44:50Seems just like the others.
44:52It's a draft here, Colonel.
44:54Hugh.
44:55Good work, Algie.
44:57Stand clear, sir.
44:58Any hit.
45:00Algie.
45:01Huh?
45:02Will you please get out of the way?
45:04Oh.
45:04Hey.
45:05Oh.
45:06Oh.
45:19Oh.
45:22Hmm.
45:22Oh.
45:23Ah.
45:24Got a nice.
45:26All right, don't you?
45:26Oh.
45:27Ah.
45:27Oh.
45:28Ah.
45:30Oh.
45:30Ah!
45:31Ah!
45:31But should you hear the sound of turning wheels, beware.
45:50This place could tell some pretty tales, eh?
46:01Clever?
46:06Clever?
46:24Oh.
46:25Oh.
46:31With Lodge and Rockingham in line, a stone is found.
46:42Fold three long paces north, and in the ground the answer lies.
46:56Willis!
47:06Willis!
47:09Well, what's one little gold piece?
47:27The roundheads never knew what became of the King's jewels after the Battle of Naseby.
47:40Here.
47:44You little fool, I'm one of the richest men in England.
47:49Willis!
47:51Willis!
47:53Oh, like sardines in a tin, birds in a cage would be more appropriate, sir.
48:18Come on, Lisa, but we are in your spot of trouble.
48:27Oh!
48:28Oh!
48:29Oh!
48:30Oh!
48:31Oh!
48:32Oh!
48:33Oh!

48:37Oh!
48:38Oh!
48:39Oh!
48:40Oh!
48:41Oh!
48:42Oh!
48:43Oh!
48:44Oh!
48:45Oh!
48:46Oh!
48:47Oh!
48:54Oh!
48:56Oh!
48:57Oh!
48:58Oh, oh!
48:59Oh!
49:12Oh!
49:13Oh!
49:14Oh!
49:16Oh, my God.
49:46Oh, my God.
50:16Oh, my God.
50:46and we'll give you a fair chance to get away.
50:48Throw out your pistols.
50:49Oh, I say, we can't do that.
50:51I'll count five.
50:53One.
50:53Don't do it, Hugh.
50:54He'll kill you.
50:55Two.
50:56Here they come.
51:03Pardon me, sir.
51:04The reserve.
51:09Good work, Tenny.
51:11Come out, all of you.
51:12You must take me for a fool, Nielsen.
51:17They promised to let you go.
51:18I'll see to that.
51:19First, we'll have Captain Drum.
51:21You!
51:42Oh, iyess!
51:43Take my kids!
51:45You!
51:46Yeah!
51:47Go!
51:48Take three!
51:49No!
51:51Take five, Uncle!
51:54You!
52:03No!
52:04No!
52:06No!
52:07No!
52:08Ah!
52:08No!
52:09Ah, Captain Drummond, Miss Clavering.
52:29Places, everyone.
52:30Rehearsal.
52:31Right over here, please.
52:32Facing me.
52:33And, uh, Captain, you will be on Miss Clavering's right.
52:36Oh, yes, of course.
52:38Uh, just a little bit closer, if you please, yes.
52:41And, uh, Colonel, you will be on Miss Clavering's left.
52:43Oh, splendid.
52:44And, uh, Mr. Longworth, you will right here.
52:47Oh, Captain Drummond's right.
52:49That's right, well, now splendid.
52:50Now, uh, supposing we run through it.
52:52All you have to do is to keep calm.
52:55Now, uh, let me see.
52:56Uh, dearly beloved, we are gathered here...
53:05I say, Hugh, are you there?
53:08Oh.
53:09Oh.
53:13Where's Phyllis?
53:14Chin up, old boy.
53:15She's gone.
53:17Gone where?
53:19She and her aunt have departed for Africa, sir.
53:23Africa?
53:25Yes, to hunt lions.
53:27She said it would be safer, sir.
53:30hh!
53:30She, I, I, I, I...
53:40Here we go with him.
