πŸ“–πŸšοΈ A stormy night. A family secret. A creature in the shadows.
Step into a chilling tale of inheritance, intrigue, and fear with The Monster Walks (1932) β€” one of the earliest examples of the "old dark house" horror genre.

🧬 When Ruth Earlton returns home to claim her late father’s estate, she finds herself trapped in a creaky mansion with suspicious relatives, hidden passageways, and an experiment gone wrong. As thunder crashes outside, a monstrous presence stalks the halls, and the line between man and beast becomes terrifyingly thin.

🎬 This atmospheric pre-Code horror film, directed by Frank R. Strayer, combines elements of murder mystery, early creature feature, and gothic suspense, making it a must-see for fans of 1930s horror and classic thrillers.

πŸ‘» If you love films like The Cat and the Canary or Dracula, this moody, black-and-white public domain gem deserves a spot on your watchlist.

00:30The End
01:00The End
01:30His death was very sudden, Mrs. Krug
01:34Yes, sir
01:35He was alive last night when I brought him his supper
01:38This morning, Hans found his body
01:41Your son?
01:44Yes, sir
01:44It's Yogi, Mr. Earleton's ape
02:02It's Yogi, Mr. Earleton's ape
02:14But I thought he had disposed of him
02:16No, sir
02:17Do you mean to say that that animal is in this house?
02:20Yes, sir
02:21Mr. Robert had Hans lock him in his cage in the cellar
02:25Everything secure, Hans?
02:42The cage is strong enough
02:44I put a chain across the door
02:47But what makes him scream so?
02:51That's because of the corpse in the house
02:54He remembers his dead master
02:58You have my deepest sympathy, Robert
03:16Thanks, Mr. Wilkes
03:18It seems unbelievable that it could have happened so quickly
03:23Why, only last week when he was in the city
03:26He seemed perfectly well
03:28My brother always enjoyed good health, Mr. Wilkes
03:31I was the sickly one
03:32And now
03:33A paralytic
03:35But could medical science do nothing for you?
03:38No, nothing can ever bring power to these lifeless limbs
03:42Now, don't be alarmed, Mr. Wilkes
03:48He is securely locked in his cage
03:50Would you care to see him?
03:54Why, yes, if it is not too much trouble
03:57Hans
03:58Take Mr. Wilkes down to see Yogi
04:02Yes
04:03Let's go
04:33There was a mate to this one, but it died in one of Dr. Erlton's experiments.
04:57What was the nature of that experiment?
04:58I don't know.
05:01But he was the doctor's favorite.
05:03Yogi had to run out of the house.
05:05He knew every nook and corner.
05:08Was there no danger?
05:10Miss Root was afraid of him.
05:13That's because he was always jealous of her.
05:17So that is why she went away.
05:21I suppose she had other reasons for money to get away from this dreary old place.
05:29And she's coming back here tonight.
05:32But if she does, he'll know.
05:36They'll never forget their hatred.
05:38Is Miss Root's room ready?
05:58Yes, sir.
05:59Light a fire there.
06:00It's rowing coals.
06:02Make her room as cheerful as possible.
06:04Yes, sir.
06:18Oh, excuse me, sir.
06:22Look down the road and see if you see any signs of Miss Root.
06:30Hans has just told me of that animal's hatred for Ruth.
06:46They should not be in the same house together.
06:48She's perfectly safe.
06:50He can't possibly escape.
06:52Why, with his tremendous strength, anything is possible.
06:58Did you not consider that, Robert, when you asked me to read the will in this house?
07:02I was selfish, perhaps.
07:04I was thinking of my own condition.
07:05But I think she would have come to see her father anyway.
07:20The storm is increasing.
07:22I'm afraid I shall have to impose on your hospitality and spend the night here.
07:27Yes, yes, yes.
07:30Of course, of course.
07:32Mrs. Krug.
07:34Mrs. Krug.
07:36Mrs. Krug.
07:44Prepare a room for Mr. Wilkes.
07:46The guest room is ready, sir.
07:52No.
07:53No, no, I think Mr. Wilkes would be more comfortable in the other wing of the house.
07:57Away from our family sorrow.
08:00Oh, anywhere will do, Mrs. Krug.
08:09Did you see anyone on the road, Hans?
08:12Can't see a thing.
08:16There's someone coming now.
08:35How do you know?
08:37He always acts like that when there's somebody arriving that he knows.
08:45Could it be Ruth?
08:46I wonder.
08:47I wonder.
08:53County Ruth.
08:55County Ruth.
09:08Uncle Robert.
09:11Oh, Uncle Robert.
09:13Uncle Robert.
09:13Uncle Robert.
09:13Uncle Robert.
09:16Oh, if I were not so helpless.
09:21If my shrunken body could lift you up and comfort you.
09:34There, there, my child.
09:36Be brave, dear.
09:37Be brave.
09:38If I could only have, only have been here and talked with him.
09:52Just seen him once again.
09:54Let me take his place in your heart, now that you're more than ever alone.
10:01Oh, I loved him so much.
10:02I loved him so much.

12:58Yes, very sudden.
13:03Come along with Tante, dear.
13:14Hello, Hank.
13:16Hello, Miss Ruth.
13:18Glad to see you.
13:19The nuggets, where shall I put it?
13:23Put it in her old room.
13:30Your Uncle Robert arranged it that way.
13:32I'll fix your things for you.
13:35Thank you, Tante.
13:35I'm going to tell you.
14:05Now that he is dead, it should be known.
14:09Don't be a fool.
14:12We may be turned out.
14:13But it is all right.
14:16Haven't we been still long enough?
14:18No.
14:20Wait until the will is read.
14:22We may be rich.
14:23Ted, don't go into the village tonight.
14:38Stay here.
14:39But the reading of your father's will should be a family matter.
14:43I'd better go to the inn.
14:45Please, Ted.
14:47I want you here tonight.
14:49Dear.
14:50You're nervous.
14:51Please.
14:54All right.
14:55I'll stay.
14:56I'll get my things.
14:57They're in the car.
14:57Are you leaving, Doctor?
15:04No, Uncle.
15:05He's going to see about putting the car up.
15:07He'll be more comfortable here than at the inn.
15:09Well, certainly, Doctor.
15:10We can consider you one of the family.
15:13Thank you very much.
15:14Oh, Hans, will you show Dr. Clayton where to put his car?
15:23He's staying all night.
15:25All right, Miss Roof.
15:28Thank you, dear.
15:29I'll only be a minute.
15:32Dante, will you prepare the guest room?
15:34Yes, I will, dear.
15:44Yes, sir, Doctor Clayton.
15:57Get the bags out of the car.
15:59We're staying here for the night.
16:00Well, isn't that what I'm called, Seth?
16:04You know, Doctor Clayton, I think I'll go for a walk.
16:07Go to a movie or play some pee-wee golf.
16:10Nonsense.
16:11You can't walk to the village in this storm.
16:13It's 11 miles.
16:14That's just a pleasant walk.
16:16I'd just love to take off my shoes and play in the raindrops.
16:21I'd skip part of the way, too.
16:29Did you hear that?
16:31Get the bags out of the car.
16:34Hans will take care of it.
16:43Oh, Ted, did Hans take care of the car?
16:48Yes.
16:49He's showing Exodus where he can sleep.
16:51Shall I proceed with the reading of the will, Miss Roof?
16:54Yes.
16:55Oh, I'm sorry.
16:55I didn't realize the...
16:57Oh, that's perfectly all right, Doctor.
16:59You may remain.
17:00Thank you, but I prefer to go to my room.
17:03Will you show Dr. Clayton to his room, Dante?
17:05The doctor will be more comfortable in the other wing with Mr. Wilt.
17:09But Miss Roof said Dr. Clayton was to occupy the guest's room.
17:14Well, of course, Roof.
17:15I was thinking only of the doctor's comfort.
17:18Come, Doctor.
17:19I'll come back when you're through.
17:30Is it necessary for Mrs. Krug to be present?
17:35Why, yes.
17:36She is mentioned in the will.
17:49Come with me, and I'll show you where you can sleep.
17:52Where's the dead man at?
17:54On the second floor.
17:57Well, I'll sleep in the cellar then.
17:59That's where Yogi is.
18:01You mean that man at house, O?
18:04Well, you give me your umbrella, and I'll go up on the roof.
18:09Come on.
18:10In the name of God, I, Philip Earlton, being of sound mind and memory, and not acting under
18:22duress, menace, fraud, or undue influence of any person whatever, do make, publish, and
18:28declare this my last will and testament in the manner following.
18:32That is to say that I bequeath all money to my credit at the Hudson National Bank in the
18:37amount of $50,000, together with all personal property in the safe deposit boxes at the
18:43Hudson National Bank, which consists of house and lot, and furnishings, and personal effects
18:49pertaining to house and grounds, to my only daughter, Ruth Earlton, and sole heir.
18:57In the event that my sole heir, Ruth, should meet with death in the meantime, then the above
19:03I bequeath to my only brother, Robert Earlton.
19:12In loving memory, I hereby provide that he be sheltered and suitably provided for in our
19:19family home until his death, this home to be maintained until such time.
19:25To my faithful servant, Emma Krug, I hereby bequeath the sum of $50 monthly to be paid out of my
19:35estate, this sum to continue without recourse until her death.
19:42I hereby appoint William Wilkes as executor of my will to act without bond.
19:47Witness my hand, this the 22nd day of April, 1925.
19:54Philip Earlton.
19:58I'm very grateful to your father, Miss Ruth.
20:01Philip was always thoughtful and just.
20:18I'm very happy.
20:21My wishes are realized in spending the remaining years.
20:25Have they finished?
20:26Yes, sir.
20:31It ain't fair.
20:40It ain't fair.
20:41Not a penny.
20:42And we have been still for so long.
20:45And now we get scraps thrown at us by strangers.
20:49It wasn't him.
20:50He was a good man.
20:52Now she comes back.
20:53Now there's money to be had.
20:55And we who have stayed and worked get nothing.
20:57Wait.
20:58Wait.
20:59Someday.
20:59I waited long enough.
21:00I'm going to speak.
21:01And if you do, I'll swear that you are mad.
21:06Now carry him upstairs.
21:19Are you ready to go upstairs now?
21:21Yes.
21:22It's been a trying day.
21:24I think I had better retire.
21:26You also, Ruth.
21:28I'm coming with you, Uncle.
21:34Coming, Ted?
21:35No.
21:36If you don't mind, I think I'll stay here and chat with Mr. Wilkes.
21:40All right.
21:41Good night, Mr. Wilkes.
21:42Good night, Miss Ruth.
21:43That yogi man sure is mad about something.
21:55If he's going to yodel all night, ain't nobody going to sleep.
21:58Hans, I will go through my brother's room.
22:02I have had my bed moved to the room next to his,
22:05so we could spend these last few hours together.
22:07Go to my room, dear.
22:10Yes, Uncle.
22:41If I only had a daughter now, to be always near me.
22:51I shall always want to be near you, Uncle.
22:55You are so much like Daddy that it will keep his memory fresh and dear to me.
23:00You are now a wealthy girl, Ruth, and you must make the most of it.
23:06Wealth to youth is golden, but to age it is a milestone.
23:10I love you, dear.
23:14Good night.
23:15Good night.
23:16Good night.
23:16Good night.
23:22Good night.
23:22Good night.

23:40Good night.
23:41Good night.
23:42Good night.
23:43Good night.
23:43Damn, dull hypocrite
23:46Why don't you tell her you're a hater?
23:50Why don't you tell her you want the money more than she does?
23:53You're all liars
23:54A remarkable woman, Mrs. Krug
23:59She's been here for nearly 20 years
24:01Her devotion to the brothers was almost her religion
24:04And, uh, Hans
24:07Is he her son?
24:10Yes
24:11He was a baby when he came here
24:12I believe she comes with a very good family
24:15But she gave up everything to come to America
24:18They're Germans, aren't they?
24:20Yes, so are the Eltons
24:22I think there's some sort of a distant relationship
24:25There's a large fortune involved, isn't there?
24:29Considerable
24:30Enough to almost burden a young woman like Ruth
24:33I believe she understood the provision of the will
24:36The estate is hers unconditionally
24:38Her father intimated as much
24:40Well, fortunately, there are no other direct heirs
24:43You know, wills are always open to contests, Doctor
24:47Yes
24:48And a large fortune
24:50Is always a temptation, Mr. Wilkes
24:53Yes, Doctor
24:56Well, shall we retire?
25:00Well, if you don't mind
25:01I think I'll stay here and smoke a cigar
25:02Good night
25:04Good night, Doctor
25:05I...
25:19I have attended to your car and driver, sir
25:21Thank you, Hans
25:24Good night, dear
25:38Miss Ruth wishes to speak to you before you retire
25:44Thank you
25:45Good night, Doctor Clayton
25:48Good night, Mrs. Crude
25:49Come in, Ted
26:08Mrs. Crude said you wanted to see me
26:14What is it?
26:16Listen, Ted
26:16I have a premonition that something's going to happen
26:19Something horrible
26:20Now, it's your nerve
26:23What you need is some rest
26:24Oh, I know it seems foolish
26:26But it's all about me
26:28Oppressing me
26:30The house wasn't like this when Daddy was alive
26:32That's because you've grown unaccustomed to it
26:41It's an old place, isn't it?
26:43It's supposed to belong to smugglers a long time ago
26:46There are tunnels and secret passageways all through the house
26:49Daddy had them all sealed up
26:51Because when I was a kid, I was always getting lost in them
26:54That's wild
26:56That's the first smile I've seen today
26:59Now, it's time little girls like you should be in bed
27:01And I could do with some sleep myself
27:04You're going to have to take something to your nerves, young lady
27:12All right, Doctor
27:14Should I take an apple a day?
27:16Apples are strictly forbidden in your diet
27:19Good night, dear
27:20Good night, sweet
27:21Good night, dear
27:22Good night, dear
27:23Good night, dear
27:24Good night, dear
27:25Good night, dear
27:26Good night, dear
27:27Good night, dear
27:28Good night, dear
27:29Good night, dear
27:30Good night, dear
27:31Good night, dear
27:32Good night, dear
27:33Good night, dear
27:34Good night, dear
27:35Good night, dear
27:36Good night, dear
27:37Good night, dear
27:38Good night, dear
27:39Good night, dear
27:40Good night, dear
27:41Good night, dear
27:42Good night, dear
27:43Good night, dear
27:44Good night, dear
27:45Good night, dear
27:46Good night, dear
27:47Good night, dear
27:48Good night, dear
28:19Hans, lock and bolt every door and window.
28:24Nobody's going to steal their money.
28:27It's not here.
28:29I wasn't thinking of their money.
28:49I wasn't thinking of their money.
29:19I wasn't thinking of their money.
29:49I wasn't thinking of their money.
30:19I wasn't thinking of their money.
30:49What was that?
30:51Someone, come to me.
30:53Ruth.
30:55Wilkes.
30:56What is it?
30:57What has happened?
30:59Now be calm, Robert.
31:00Be calm.
31:00It was my niece.
31:01I heard a scream.
31:02What is it?
31:03Oh, Dad.
31:04Dad.
31:05But what happened, Ruth?
31:06What's the matter?
31:07Oh, it was...
31:08Oh.
31:14What is it?
31:15What's wrong?
31:16Oh, Dad, take me away.
31:18Take me away.
31:19Yes, dear.
31:20Now calm yourself and tell me just exactly what happened.
31:23Oh, it was the eighth yogi.
31:25When I awakened, his arm was above me and he was clenching at my throat.
31:29Oh, it was horrible.
31:30Vulnerable.
31:32Yes, dear.
31:33Mrs. Crook.
31:35Oh, Dondie.
31:40There, there, dear.
31:42You're just nervous and excited.
31:45Oh, Auntie Crook.
31:47I'm afraid.
31:48I'm afraid.
32:01She is terrorized.
32:03She said that awful fruit was in her room.
32:04No, no, no.
32:05He couldn't pass, please.
32:06Escape.
32:07Rouse hands.
32:08Send him to the cage.
32:09Tell him to bring Ruth here to me.
32:11Yes.
32:11Yes.
32:41Have, has that animal been out of its cage?
32:46No, sir.
32:48The lock hasn't been touched and everything is the way I left it.
32:51Well, that's a relief.
32:54Miss Root evidently had a nightmare.
32:58Dr. Clayton.
33:00Oh, Dr. Clayton.
33:06I bet he's down there giving that yoga man a pill.
33:11Oh, Mr. Yoga.
33:31Mr. Yoga, please don't do it this time.
33:34Don't bite out this time, Mr. Yoga.
33:36Come and listen, Mr. Yoga, I'll leave here.
33:38I ain't never coming back here no more.
33:40What is all this nonsense?
33:43What did you say, yoga?
33:51The dog's gone.
33:52I thought that was Mr. Yoga head over to me.
33:55Go to your room.
33:56Yeah, that's why I'm going.
33:58And far away from here.
33:59That's all right.
34:01You need me to hear me.
34:02I'm going in there.
34:13He's securely fastened in his cage.
34:15I've just come from there.
34:17Did you find anything, doctor?
34:18Nothing.
34:19I've carefully examined your room, dear.
34:23And there's no evidence of anyone having been there.
34:25My little girl was having a nightmare.
34:28You're wrought up.
34:29Your nerves were playing you tricks.
34:32But it was so real.
34:34I can't believe I was dreaming.
34:36Dreams always seem real, dear.
34:39Now, what could possibly harm you in the room where you have slept since you were a child?
34:44I'm an awful baby.
34:47I've disturbed and frightened you all.
34:50You let your doctor give you something to soothe your nerves.
34:53And have Mrs. Krug put you back to bed.
34:57I'm awfully sorry.
34:58Good night.
35:10Well, I must confess, Robert.
35:12It gave me an awful jolt.
35:14Ruth was always emotional, even as a child.
35:20Oh, Ted, I can't.
35:22The impression was too vivid.
35:25I can't sleep in that room.
35:28Then perhaps I'd better take you to the inn.
35:31There, there, dear.
35:33Tante Krug will stay with you just like she used to do when you were a little girl.
35:37Will you, Tante?
35:38Of course I will.
35:44Don't worry, dear.
35:46I'll be all right with Andy Krug.
35:48You've had a very severe shock.
35:50I'll get something that will help you sleep.
35:52I'm having a very severe shock.
35:56Thanks for having me.
35:57You're good.
35:57Be careful about it.
36:00There you go, Ted.
36:00Drink this just before you go to bed, after it's dissolved.
36:26Thanks, dear. Perhaps I won't need it.
36:28I'll sit up for a while to make sure you're all right.
36:30Thanks. Good night.
36:32Good night, dear.
36:39Now compose yourself, Robert, and try to get some sleep.
37:00You may have another patient, doctor.
37:03You go to bed, Condi. I'm going to sit up a while.
37:16You should have rest, Ruth.
37:18Oh, I couldn't go to sleep right now.
37:20I'm going to read a while.
37:21I'm going to read a while.
37:26Good night.
37:27I'm going to read a while.
37:28Now we can do more.
37:30Bye.
37:30Billtraum.
38:01Uh, Mr. Wilkes.
38:09Uh, just where were you when Ruth screamed?
38:13Well, I was here, smoking my cigar.
38:17I must have dozed off.
38:19When I heard the scream, I rushed upstairs immediately.
38:22And you stopped by Robert's room?
38:24Why, yes.
38:25Her scream had awakened him also.
38:27And Hans was at the foot of the stairs, and he went to the cellar with you?
38:30Yes.
38:31The ape was in his cage, and the chain was securely fastened.
38:37But I'm convinced that Ruth was dreaming.
38:39Ruth tells me this is quite an old house.
38:55Yes, it is.
38:57It has a lot of secret passageways in it.
39:01Do you know anything about them?
39:02No, but Hans might know.
39:07Hans.
39:09I'd like to talk to him.
39:11Well, his room is next to the kitchen.
39:13I'll go and get him.
39:14Oh, my God.
39:21Oh, my God.
39:33Oh, my God.
39:36Hans!
39:48Hans!
39:55Yes, sir?
39:56Dr. Clayton wishes to speak to you.
40:06You wanted to talk to me?
40:17Yes, Hans.
40:18I want to ask you some questions.
40:21If Yogi should escape from his cage, Miss Ruth will be in great danger.
40:25Well, you can't get out, sir.
40:27I locked the cage myself.
40:29Mm-hmm.
40:31Are there any tunnels near his cage that he might crawl through?
40:34Well, it had all been locked long ago.
40:39Has Yogi ever escaped from his cage?
40:42Well, sometimes when I used to lock him up for the night,
40:46he'd suddenly appear in the doctor's or Mr. Roberts' room.
40:50They'd only laugh and say he could pick the lock.
40:55That's why I put the chain on the door.
41:04That's all, Hans.
41:07You may go.
41:08Very well.
41:21Are you sure that Yogi was locked in his cage?
41:24I'm positive.
41:25He'd have to be released by human hands.
41:27Yet Ruth is not the type of historical woman
41:32that's given to nightmares.
41:34I think you're alarming yourself unnecessarily, doctor.
41:38I wonder.
41:40I still can't believe she was dreaming.
41:42Strange boy, Hans.
42:09He often plays until late in the night.
42:13You say Hans was in the cellar?
42:16Why hadn't he gone to bed?
42:18Well, Hans' room is almost over Yogi's cage.
42:23He told me, before he heard the scream,
42:26that he heard some sort of slight shuffling noise
42:28coming from the cellar.
42:30And he went down there to investigate.
42:31How long has Uncle Robert been an invalid?
42:42Robert?
42:43Why, surely, doctor, you can't suspect Robert.
42:46Why, Robert hasn't walked in over a year.
42:52Nevertheless, I'm worried.
42:54I'd like to talk to Robert.
42:57Would you care to come along?
42:59Why, certainly.
42:59I'd like to talk to Robert.
43:29I'd like to talk to Robert.
44:00Don't be.
44:01Don't be.
44:13He's sleeping.
44:15Perhaps we'd better not disturb him
44:17until the morning, doctor.
44:48She's been strangled to death.
44:57Ruth.
45:05It was a shock.
45:07She'll be all right in a minute.
45:09You were right, Doctor.
45:10There must be a secret entrance to this room.
45:14Someone has made a second desperate attempt on Ruth's life.
45:17Mrs. Krug was not the intended victim.
45:33Who? Who could have done this?
45:35Let's see. Robert was in his room.
45:37Yes, and we know where Hans was.
45:42Could there possibly be a secret passage to the ape's cage?
45:44I don't think it was the ape.
45:47His animal instinct would have told him if it was not Ruth.
45:50Possibly.
45:51But what motive could everybody have for wanting to murder Ruth?
45:57Robert is the only one who would profit by it.
45:59Yes, and we know he was in his bed ourselves.
46:03Besides, he's a hopeless paralytic.
46:04Ted!
46:06Ted!
46:07You're all right now, dear.
46:08Tell me what happened.
46:10She had gone to bed.
46:12I had fallen asleep reading.
46:14When I came back to bed, she was lying there with those horrible marks on her throat.
46:19Well, didn't you hear anything?
46:20I didn't hear or see anything.
46:22Oh, Ted, take me away!
46:24Let Uncle Robert's bell.
46:32I'll go to him.
46:33Wait.
46:34Don't tell him.
46:36The shock would kill him.
46:37All right.
46:38I won't tell him a thing.
46:39I thought I heard something.
46:51Has anything happened?
46:52No.
46:53I was about to retire when I heard your bell.
46:56Is there anything I can do for you?
46:57Nothing, thank you.
46:59Well, you seem disturbed.
47:01Are you ill?
47:02This has been a very severe ordeal for me, doctor.
47:05Oh, dear.
47:17Ruth!
47:20Are you all right, Uncle Robert?
47:22Yes, dear.
47:24Come in.
47:28Something disturbed me that I rang for Mrs. Krug.
47:32The doctor answered.
47:33Your uncle is exhausted.
47:36I'll get him a sedative.
47:37No, thank you.
47:39Come here, Ruth.
47:42I thought I heard something and I was a bit worried about your safety.
47:46No, I'm all right, dear.
47:53Doctor, you learn anything?
47:55Yes.
47:57Robert did not know of Mrs. Krug's death.
47:59I was taking his pulse when Ruth entered the room unexpectedly.
48:03And it stopped completely for several beats.
48:09There could be no possible connection.
48:12Why, the man is a hopeless paralytic.
48:14I'm not so sure.
48:16I want to find that out for myself.
48:20Would you be so kind as to take Ruth downstairs?
48:23Certainly.
48:26It's late, dear.
48:27You'd better try and get some rest.
48:29And you'd better go to bed, too, Ruth.
48:31I'll take care of you, Uncle.
48:33All right, Ted.
48:34Good night.
48:35Good night, dear.
48:41Ruth has told me of your case.
48:43I'm very interested.
48:44Medical science can't help me, doctor.
48:46Nevertheless, if you would permit me, I should like to make an examination.
48:53Very well.
48:55See for yourself.
49:46No!
50:16Oh, my God.
51:16You fool.
51:28You let the girl escape.
51:30You have failed again.
51:33It was her bed.
51:35I was sure it was the girl.
51:37Instead, it was my mother I killed.
51:42Do you understand my mother?
51:45Emma?
51:46Dead?
51:48You put the idea in my head because you wanted the money.
51:52You told me when the girl was out of the way, you would acknowledge me as your son.
51:55And we'd both be rich.
51:59They'll hear you.
52:01Shut your vile mouth.
52:02Why didn't you tell him I was your son?
52:06And now Mother is dead.
52:09And it's all your fault, you shrunken devil.
52:12And yours and the girl.
52:14And I'm going to kill you both.
52:21Ted!
52:22Ted!
52:23Ted!
52:24Ted!
52:24Ted!
52:24I was wrong, Mr. Wilkes.
52:27It's utterly impossible for Robert to ever walk again.
52:32Why, Ted, what do you mean?
52:35Ruth, you must realize that the attack made on Mrs. Krug was obviously meant for you.
52:40But who would want to harm me?
52:42There is only one possible solution.
52:46The eight.
52:48Yogi!
52:50Oh, Ted!
52:50If he is loose, he will kill me!
52:53Oh!
52:53Mr. Wilkes, will you see if Yogi's in his cage, please?
52:56Why, yes, yes.
53:01Oh, Ted, then it was Yogi's arm that I saw.
53:04I wasn't dreaming.
53:05I'm not sure yet, dear.
53:08Oh, Ted, take me away.
53:16Here.
53:17Have you got a revolver in your car?
53:19No, sir.
53:19I got it right here.
53:20So if Yogi messes out with me, I'm going to blow a hole right through his foe, Coach.
53:24Good.
53:25Come along with your revolver.
53:27No, sir.
53:27Not me.
53:29I wouldn't go down there with President Hoover.
53:31Not that he's a better man than you.
53:34But the position he holds.
53:36Sure.
53:37Give me that gun.
53:44Well, there's going to be another deal.
53:50Well, there's going to be another deal.
53:52There's going to be another deal.
54:30The eep is securely fastened in his cage, and there's someone else in this house.
54:35Ted, what are we going to do?
54:37The first thing I'm going to do is get you out of here immediately.
54:40Exodus?
54:40Yes.
54:41Bring the car around front as quickly as possible.
54:43It can't be too quick for me, boss.
54:45Don't you worry, dear.
54:49Dr. Clayton!
54:51Dr. Clayton!
54:52Dr. Clayton!
54:55What is it, Hans?
54:56Something terrible happened to Mr. Roberts.
54:59Ted, go to him.
55:01I'm all right with Hans.
55:02Go!
55:04Come on, Wilkes.
55:11Hans!
55:13What is it?
55:13Hans!
55:13What is it?
55:13Hans!
55:26Hans!
55:26Is he dead, doctor?
55:32No, he's still breathing.
55:35The same hand that murdered Mrs. Krug.
55:37But I think we've got a chance this time.
55:39I think he'll be able to talk.
55:58Ruth.
56:00Ruth.
56:01It's all right now.
56:02Tell us what happened.
56:03Take Ruth away.
56:05I...
56:05Ruth's safe?
56:06Who was it?
56:08I am the guilty one.
56:12I...
56:13I forced him to do it.
56:16Him?
56:17Who do you mean?
56:18He is my son.
56:22Hans.
56:25Hans!
56:26Hans!
56:27Ruth!
56:28Ruth!
56:54Ruth!
56:54Ruth!
56:54Ruth!
56:54Ruth!
56:54Ruth!
56:58Ruth!
57:00Doctor!
57:16Oh, man.
57:19Ah.
57:21Oh, man.
57:25Oh, man.
57:27Let go.
57:42Let go.
57:44Let go.
57:47Let go.
57:48Let go.
57:50Come on.
57:51Let go.
57:52Get me.
57:53Let go.
57:56Sookie! Sookie!
58:02No! Let go!
58:06Let go! Let go!
58:26She's all right.
58:52Excuse me, boss.
58:54What are they doing with some things around the house?
58:57Well, Dr. Elton was an exponent of the Darwinian theory.
59:02Huh?
59:04He believed that they were our ancestors.
59:07You mean that he's related to me?
59:09Exactly.
59:11Well, I don't know. I had a grandfather that looked something like him.
59:25But he wasn't as active.
59:27That wasn't so happy.
59:28Perhaps, too.
59:29Yes, sir.
59:30Yes, sir.
59:31Yes.
59:32Yes, sir.
59:33Yes, sir.
59:34Yes?
59:36Yes, sir.
59:37Yes, sir.
59:38Yes, sir.
59:40You
