00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30Oh, shoot!
00:01:42Oh, Larry, you fool!
00:02:01Larry did!
00:02:02How dare he?
00:02:03Say, that's a good trick.
00:02:04You mean to look like a ghost?
00:02:05No, to get all that clean laundry.
00:02:07Hello, Mr. Boris.
00:02:09I thought I'd give the ghosts around here some competition
00:02:11now that you've reopened the house.
00:02:12Always the death of the party, aren't you, Larry?
00:02:14No, just scaring up a little business for Dr. Carroll here.
00:02:16Hiya, Doctor.
00:02:17Hello, Larry.
00:02:18Say, Nan, what would you say of a ghost asked you to dance?
00:02:21I'd say that's the old spirit.
00:02:23Why don't we?
00:02:24Excuse us.
00:02:24Another song, huh?
00:02:39Uh-huh.
00:02:40How about singing it?
00:02:41Not a ghost of a chance.
00:02:42Oh, no?
00:02:43Come on, up you go.
00:02:44Night like these
00:02:51Bring back memories that wandered away
00:02:55Stars that gleam
00:02:58Bring a dream of two hearts that were gay
00:03:02Skies on fire
00:03:05Causing rainbows from heaven to fall
00:03:08Love's desire
00:03:11Always near so that I can recall
00:03:15One starry night
00:03:19Two young people were dancing
00:03:24One starry night
00:03:27And I saw them romancing
00:03:30A million thrills were in his eyes
00:03:34And his glances possessed her
00:03:37A million dreams were in her eyes
00:03:41He caressed her so tenderly
00:03:45Stars gleaming bright
00:03:47Saw their love in its glory
00:03:51I can't forget
00:03:54How their lips met
00:03:58As they kissed he knew
00:04:01They'd be sweethearts forever
00:04:04Their dream came true
00:04:08One starry night
00:04:11Man, I've got a wonderful idea
00:04:19I'd like to give your guests a break
00:04:21And announce my engagement tonight
00:04:22That should be thrilling
00:04:24Who's the lucky girl?
00:04:25You are
00:04:25Oh, no, Larry
00:04:26Let's not get serious again
00:04:28Can't we be happy just being friends?
00:04:30I don't want to be happy
00:04:31Yeah, I want to be married
00:04:32Now, don't tell me you're in love with someone else
00:04:34If I were, you'd be the first to know about it
00:04:36May I?
00:04:37Oh, Larry, you remember Steve Randall
00:04:39We met him at the Carter's last summer
00:04:41Oh, yes, the writer
00:04:42What shall it be, dancing or conversation?
00:04:45It's only fair to warn you
00:04:46That if I concentrate on one
00:04:48The other suffers
00:04:48Then let's talk
00:04:49Want to know why I invited you down here?
00:04:56Because you write such a wonderful mystery story
00:04:58Oh, curses
00:04:59Just when I thought I was beginning to make an impression
00:05:01Well, here's your chance
00:05:03As you've probably gathered by now
00:05:05This house is supposed to be haunted
00:05:07You want me to look into the legend?
00:05:09Oh, it's much more than a legend
00:05:10Upstairs is a room
00:05:13We call it the Blue Room
00:05:14Twenty years ago, my father was found dead there
00:05:17How did he die, do you know?
00:05:20We were never able to find out
00:05:21The police finally caught it suicide
00:05:24And the room hasn't been opened since
00:05:26Nobody's lived here during all those years?
00:05:28Nobody
00:05:29Not until my stepfather persuaded mother to move back
00:05:32Now, I don't know whether I can solve your mystery or not
00:05:35But at least you've written a swell first chapter for me
00:05:38I don't like this coming way out here in the middle of the night
00:05:50Oh, it gives me the creeps
00:05:52Let's go back
00:05:52Oh, relax
00:05:53This is our big break
00:05:55And I think it was darn nice of Nan to invite us
00:05:57Yeah, but why up here?
00:05:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
00:06:02Cheerful little number, isn't he?
00:06:05Yeah, he looks like an advance agent for a Mickey Finn
00:06:07Hey, Dracula, how soon before we get there?
00:06:11No hurry now
00:06:13Much more hurry when you come back
00:06:15I don't see why we couldn't audition the act someplace else
00:06:19I know about this house, it's haunted
00:06:21I read about it in the Sunday magazine section
00:06:24You did what?
00:06:25Well, somebody read it to me
00:06:27But I know it's haunted
00:06:28It was called The Mystery of the Blue Room
00:06:30And it's got goblins off it
00:06:32We're not going to stay there
00:06:34We're taking the three o'clock train back
00:06:35Three o'clock
00:06:36It's the hour when they strike
00:06:39For twenty years now
00:06:41They wait
00:06:41Who's they?
00:06:43The evil ones
00:06:45The spirits that haunt the Blue Room
00:06:47Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
00:06:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
00:06:53Mr. Ballard, I'm afraid my attempt to initiate the ghost mansion didn't go over so well with your wife.
00:07:00Ghost mansion?
00:07:01No.
00:07:02Larry, I wish you wouldn't refer to it as the ghost mansion.
00:07:05I'm hoping that all the stories about the Blue Room and about this house will be forgotten after tonight.
00:07:09I'm afraid not, sir, if you'll excuse my saying so.
00:07:12What do you mean, Edwards?
00:07:13Well, in readying the house, sir, during the past few weeks, I've noticed many disturbing things.
00:07:19Like what, for instance?
00:07:20I can't exactly explain, sir.
00:07:22Except that the house is haunted.
00:07:25Superstitious bunk.
00:07:26Edwards, I bet when you were a kid you once saw a mystery play where there was a sudden clap of thunder and the lights went out.
00:07:36Boy, that's what I call service.
00:07:38What do you suppose happened, dear?
00:07:40Probably the power line.
00:07:41Get some lamps, will you?
00:07:42Edwards.
00:07:42Certainly, sir.
00:07:43Well, you're not scared, are you?
00:07:45A little bit.
00:07:46Oh, darling, I'm awfully frightened.
00:07:48Judging from that music, I'd say the pianist is, too.
00:07:50I say, old man, can't you play something a little more cheerful?
00:07:53Barry, you've got some matches.
00:07:55Frank!
00:07:55What?
00:07:56Look, there's nobody at the piano.
00:07:58What's making it play?
00:08:11I don't know.
00:08:11Not a player appeal.
00:08:13What is this?
00:08:13A gag?
00:08:17That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
00:08:19Oh, Frank, can't we have some lights?
00:08:20Of course, dear.
00:08:21Edwards, where are those lamps?
00:08:23Edwards!
00:08:24Oh, this is ridiculous.
00:08:25Someone's playing a trick on you.
00:08:26Excuse me.
00:08:29What made it play?
00:08:31Let's not worry about that now.
00:08:32Where's the orchestra reader?
00:08:33Here.
00:08:34Will you have your boys play something, please?
00:08:35Certainly.
00:08:36Come now.
00:08:37Fess up.
00:08:38Is this the surprise you had in store for us?
00:08:40No, that will come later.
00:08:43I'm sure it will be simply grim.
00:08:46What's all this about a surprise?
00:08:47I've invited some entertainers down tonight.
00:08:49Three girls I used to work with in a nightclub.
00:08:51What do you mean to say that you used to?
00:08:53Mm-hmm.
00:08:54That was the season when all the debutantes were singing for their supper.
00:08:57But Dad soon put an end to that.
00:08:58Big pardon, Miss Nant.
00:08:59But some friends of yours are on the way up.
00:09:01The gateman just called.
00:09:02Well, that must be the girls.
00:09:04Excuse me.
00:09:04I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:09:09Cozy, little morgue.
00:09:12Queen!
00:09:13Queenie!
00:09:14Shh, don't let Mother hear you calling me that.
00:09:16How are you, kid?
00:09:16Oh, just fine.
00:09:17She's good to see you again.
00:09:18Come on in.
00:09:19Sure.
00:09:19How was the trip?
00:09:21Fine, I guess.
00:09:22A little spooky.
00:09:23Yeah, it was so dark, even the owls were flying by instruments.
00:09:26Edwards will show you where you can change.
00:09:28Edwards?
00:09:28Not G's?
00:09:30Gee, a real butler.
00:09:32How long have you been playing here, buddy?
00:09:34Thirty years, madam.
00:09:35Thirty years?
00:09:37Gee, that guy's really got a good agent.
00:09:39Who are the three girls, man?
00:09:41Interested?
00:09:41Oh, no.
00:09:42Just curious.
00:09:43You'll find out.
00:09:44You're interested in her, aren't you?
00:09:48You bet.
00:09:49Since she was that high, I hope to marry her someday.
00:09:52Larry.
00:09:52Hmm?
00:09:53You can't marry her.
00:09:55What?
00:09:55I said you can't marry Nan.
00:09:57Now, wait a minute.
00:09:58Nan and I want to get married.
00:10:00Neither you nor anyone else is going to stop us.
00:10:02Believe me, Larry.
00:10:02I know what I'm talking about.
00:10:04You better listen to me.
00:10:05Doc, all I want from you is pills.
00:10:07Not advice.
00:10:08Let's go outside.
00:10:10I want to tell you something, my boy.
00:10:11And when I'm finished, you'll see why Nan couldn't possibly marry you.
00:10:18May I have your attention, please?
00:10:20I'd like you to meet some very good friends of mine.
00:10:23Some girls with a lot of talent.
00:10:24The three jazzy bells.
00:10:26Okay, bells, ring out.
00:10:27A do-de-do-do-do, a do-de-do-do, a silly old tune with a rhythm that's new.
00:10:39The words that mean nothing to me or to you.
00:10:41A do-de-do-do-do, a do-de-do-do, a right-handed boogie that sounds rather blue.
00:10:46A do-de-do-de-do-de-do-do, a musical strain that keeps going around.
00:10:51It sticks in your brain and you finally found.
00:10:54The words that mean nothing, it's only the song.
00:10:56A do-de-do-do-do, a do-de-do-do, there's no way to stop it, you simply must do.
00:11:02A do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-do.
00:11:05Boy, we're on a spot.
00:11:08We may get shot.
00:11:11For all this rot.
00:11:14It's time to go over, or doom to a fall.
00:11:17There's only one thing that we all must recall.
00:11:19The best in the ball come from Carnegie Hall.
00:11:22A do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-do.
00:11:26Go, go, go, go.
00:11:30Go, go, go.
00:11:37Go, go, go.
00:12:38Those girls have a lot of talent.
00:12:40I'm glad you said that, because there's something I want you to do for them.
00:12:43What's that?
00:12:44Come on, darling, let's dance, and I'll tell you all about it.
00:12:47Wouldn't have anything to do with my owning a theater chain by any chance.
00:12:52Good night.
00:12:53Such a nice party.
00:12:54Good night.
00:12:55Good night.
00:12:56Thank you for an entertaining evening, especially the ghost show.
00:12:59I enjoyed your singing so much.
00:13:02Good night.
00:13:03Good night, Frank.
00:13:03See you tomorrow, George.
00:13:04Good night.
00:13:05I'll see how the girls are getting along.
00:13:06All right, darling.
00:13:13Well, it's been quite an evening.
00:13:14Yes, it has.
00:13:15Mr. Bullrich, will you do me a favor?
00:13:17What is it?
00:13:18Let me see the blue room.
00:13:20What on earth for?
00:13:21For a particular reason, just to satisfy a curiosity.
00:13:24Well, Larry, personally, I have no objections, but I don't know how Mrs. Bullrich should feel about it.
00:13:29Feel about what, dear?
00:13:30Larry wants me to open the blue room.
00:13:32Say, that's not a bad idea.
00:13:34I'd like to see it myself.
00:13:35Oh, please.
00:13:35Not after what happened in there.
00:13:37Well, why not, Mrs. Bullrich?
00:13:38Mr. Kirkland's suicide shouldn't condemn the room to solitary confinement forever.
00:13:42Mr. Randall, I've never believed it was suicide.
00:13:45What makes you say that?
00:13:46It was something that happened the morning of his death.
00:13:49But during breakfast, he was called to the phone, and he returned muttering to himself,
00:13:54something to the effect that he didn't intend being blackmailed the rest of his life,
00:13:57and he was going to stop it once and for all.
00:14:00When I asked what he was talking about, he refused to answer me.
00:14:04That night, he was dead.
00:14:05Well, suicide is one way to avoid the clutches of a blackmailer.
00:14:09Probably the only sure way.
00:14:11Yes, and don't forget, dear.
00:14:12When we broke in, we discovered the door and windows had been locked from the inside.
00:14:15Dad, the girls want to say goodnight to you.
00:14:19Excuse me, please.
00:14:21I want to thank you girls for coming down here tonight.
00:14:23Nan's been speaking to me about you.
00:14:25I feel sure if you take this card into our booking offices tomorrow,
00:14:28they'll be able to do something for you.
00:14:30Gee, that's swell.
00:14:31We can't tell you how much we appreciate this.
00:14:33Not at all.
00:14:34I'm only sorry I can't offer to put you up for the night.
00:14:36We wouldn't dream of imposing on you.
00:14:38Yeah, we're the home type.
00:14:40We can hardly wait to get home.
00:14:41We'll be going, and thanks again.
00:14:43Goodnight.
00:14:43I'll see you to the door.
00:14:44Goodnight.
00:14:45It was wonderful to see you girls again.
00:14:48And acting ain't a big hit, too.
00:14:49Sure, hope so.
00:14:50Thanks for everything, Nan.
00:14:51Oh, the return of Frankenstein.
00:14:53Where's the station wagon trailer?
00:14:55It's at the main gate, miss.
00:14:56I came for the bags.
00:14:58Bags?
00:14:59He's not only gruesome, he's insulting.
00:15:01Well, good luck, kids.
00:15:02Let me know how you make out.
00:15:04We sure do.
00:15:04Goodnight.
00:15:05Goodnight.
00:15:09Well, we did it.
00:15:10And we're still here to tell the tale.
00:15:12I won't feel safe though until we're home in bed.
00:15:14Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:15:15Don't be silly, kids.
00:15:16Tell me one thing.
00:15:18What could possibly happen to us now?
00:15:20Pardon me, but do you have a match?
00:15:23Oh, sure.
00:15:30Thank you very much.
00:15:31You're quite welcome.
00:15:49Oh, Larry, would you like this one?
00:15:51Sure.
00:15:52Nan, has Dr. Carroll ever talked to you about me?
00:15:55Oh, a lot of times.
00:15:57Impersonally, though.
00:15:57Well, why?
00:15:58Well, I think it'd be a good idea if we'd all call it a night.
00:16:00Oh, no.
00:16:05What's that?
00:16:19I'll close it.
00:16:20What was it, Larry?
00:16:27Just the wind.
00:16:28It blew open the window.
00:16:29Oh, well, I certainly hope nothing else happens tonight.
00:16:32Oh, I've got a splitting headache, doctor.
00:16:33You better let me give you a sedative before you go to bed.
00:16:36I'll go with you, mother.
00:16:37All right, dear.
00:16:37Be right along, darling.
00:16:38Good night.
00:16:39Good night.
00:16:39Anne, offer you boys anything before you turn in?
00:16:41No, thanks.
00:16:42How about you?
00:16:43What's so intriguing?
00:16:48Hmm?
00:16:49Oh, I was thinking about the blue room.
00:16:51Oh, so that's it.
00:16:53Strange how the human mind works.
00:16:55A flash of lightning, crash of thunder.
00:16:57The lights go out and a window blows open.
00:16:59And somebody's all ready to see a ghost come walking through a padlocked door.
00:17:02Edward.
00:17:14Edward.
00:17:15Yes, sir?
00:17:17What are you doing in there?
00:17:19I happened to hear what was said downstairs, sir.
00:17:21I understood you wished to open up the room.
00:17:23I said nothing of a kind.
00:17:25I misunderstood, sir.
00:17:26I'm sorry.
00:17:32Mr. T. I'm over here.
00:17:35Stumbled over something and grabbed the curtains as I fell.
00:17:38Are you all right?
00:17:39Yes, a little on the dusty side.
00:17:42These spooks are very careless about their housekeeping.
00:17:44Well, they've had it all themselves for the past 20 years.
00:17:46If I'd had my way, I'd have cleaned it up long ago.
00:17:49So this is the blue room?
00:17:50Yeah, this is it.
00:18:00Mr. Bullrich?
00:18:01Yes?
00:18:02I'd like to sleep here tonight.
00:18:04What a strange request.
00:18:06Why?
00:18:06Just to prove your point.
00:18:08You have to call this a ghost mansion, a superstitious bunk.
00:18:11No, I don't think you should do it, Larry.
00:18:13Neither do I.
00:18:14Why don't you think so?
00:18:15Because I want to sleep here myself.
00:18:16Why don't you save those good ideas for the stories you write, Steve?
00:18:19All right, I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:18:21We'll both spend the night here.
00:18:22Oh, no.
00:18:23I'm going to rough it alone.
00:18:25But I'll tell you what.
00:18:26If nothing happens tonight, if I don't catch pneumonia or something,
00:18:29you can sleep in here tomorrow night.
00:18:30What do you say, Mr. Bullrich?
00:18:32Well, apparently I have nothing to say about it, so I'll just go to bed.
00:18:36Okay, you and I'll see you in the morning.
00:18:40I hope.
00:18:44Seriously, Larry, I hope you'll be all right.
00:18:46Of course I will.
00:18:47Good night, sir.
00:18:48Good night.
00:18:57Good night, Steve.
00:18:58Good night.
00:18:58Good night.
00:18:59The blue room.
00:19:19Good night.
00:19:20Good night.
00:19:21Good night.
00:19:22Good night.
00:19:23Good night.
00:19:24Good night.
00:19:25Good night.
00:19:26Good night.
00:19:27What do you mean?
00:19:28Mr. Dearden slept there.
00:19:29Didn't Mr. Bullrich tell you?
00:19:31You'd better have a breakfast tray ready in case Mr. Dearden should want it sent up to
00:19:34his room.
00:19:41Mr. Dearden.
00:19:42Did you ring, sir?
00:19:47Mr. Dearden.
00:19:48What's the matter, Edwards?
00:19:49I don't know, sir.
00:19:50Mr. Dearden rang a moment ago, but the door is locked and he doesn't answer.
00:19:55Larry.
00:19:58If this is another of his jokes.
00:19:59What's wrong, Dad?
00:20:00Larry doesn't answer.
00:20:01Oh, I knew something would happen if he slept in there.
00:20:03Now, dear, nothing has happened yet.
00:20:05Larry, open the door.
00:20:07Give me the key, Edwards.
00:20:08I'm sorry, sir.
00:20:09I only had the key to the padlock.
00:20:10The key's on the inside.
00:20:11We'd better break in.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:20Larry!
00:20:22The bed hasn't been slept in.
00:20:23Where is he?
00:20:31If I may venture the opinion, sir, it would appear that Mr. Dearden opened the window and
00:20:41leaned out too far.
00:20:42Oh, no!
00:20:43Please, Mother.
00:20:44Now, now, you mustn't be upset.
00:20:46You say he just rang?
00:20:47We received the signal in the kitchen, sir.
00:20:49The indicator there still points to the blue room.
00:21:02Operator!
00:21:03Something wrong?
00:21:04Oh, Steve.
00:21:05Yes, Larry's disappeared.
00:21:07What?
00:21:08Hello, operator.
00:21:09Get me the police.
00:21:10Disappeared?
00:21:11Yes, this morning we...
00:21:13Hello?
00:21:14Inspector McDonald, please.
00:21:19And that's all you can tell me about his disappearance.
00:21:21You know as much about it as we do, Inspector.
00:21:23Who was in the house when Larry Dearden first discussed opening a blue room?
00:21:27Why, all of us and, uh, Edwards, of course.
00:21:31Is that all?
00:21:32Well, what about those friends of yours, Nan?
00:21:34As I recall, they were in the house.
00:21:36The girls?
00:21:37Well, that's ridiculous.
00:21:38They didn't hear Larry ask to have the room opened.
00:21:40They didn't even know him.
00:21:42What girls?
00:21:43Some entertainers who were down for the evening.
00:21:45But they couldn't have had anything to do with it.
00:21:47You better give me their names and where they can be reached.
00:21:49Take this down, Curtin.
00:21:52The open Monday.
00:21:53First show at noon.
00:21:54Better get to the theater by 10 for rehearsal.
00:21:56Oh, we're halfway there already.
00:21:58That must be them.
00:21:59Say, are you girls the three jazzy bells?
00:22:03Uh-huh.
00:22:04Good news, sure travels fast.
00:22:05We're from the police department.
00:22:07Why, I suppose you want us to appear at the policeman's benefit ball?
00:22:10Well, we might be able to consider it if you're out of jail in time.
00:22:13Oh, well, I think we could rather...
00:22:15Jail?
00:22:16Hey, what goes on here, officer?
00:22:17There's been some complaints.
00:22:18We were told to pick these girls up.
00:22:20Why is the act that bad?
00:22:21But what have we done?
00:22:22Come on, let's get going.
00:22:23Wait a minute.
00:22:24We got a booking starting the day after tomorrow, and you can't do this to us.
00:22:27They'll be released in time to keep their engagement, won't they?
00:22:30Maybe they will, and maybe they won't.
00:22:32Oh, wait a minute, fellas.
00:22:33This is murder.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:35How did you guess?
00:22:40And you didn't hear any sort of noise after that?
00:22:42No.
00:22:44We picked them up and they was acting mighty suspicious, if you ask me.
00:22:47Well, nobody asked you.
00:22:48Say, you can't get away with this.
00:22:50What's the idea of dragging us way up here anyhow?
00:22:52It's always customary to return suspects to the scene of the crime.
00:22:56Well, that's different.
00:22:57Suspects?
00:22:58Well, what happened here anyway?
00:23:00Larry's disappeared.
00:23:01Larry?
00:23:02Who's that?
00:23:03You see, Inspector, they've never even heard of him.
00:23:05I'll handle this if you don't mind.
00:23:07Where did you go after you left this house last night?
00:23:09Right straight home.
00:23:10Yeah, we didn't stop for anything.
00:23:12That's right, Inspector.
00:23:13Inspector, you can check up on us.
00:23:14We've never been in any trouble before.
00:23:16Inspector, I don't think these kids are any more guilty than I am.
00:23:19You may be right.
00:23:21Well, in that case, we'll be going along.
00:23:24Well, it's been nice knowing you.
00:23:25If you need any help, please feel free to call on us.
00:23:27Wait a minute.
00:23:28There's just one more thing.
00:23:30How come the gatekeeper didn't see you leave the grounds last night?
00:23:33Oh, well, we left by the side gate, the one that leads to the cemetery.
00:23:37Sure, we would have gone out the regular way, but after that ghost came up and asked for a match to light his cigarette...
00:23:41Ghost?
00:23:42And it was so scary when he tipped his derby that...
00:23:45You saw a ghost?
00:23:46That's right.
00:23:47And in the derby.
00:23:49And you lit a cigarette for him?
00:23:52Yes.
00:23:53That does it.
00:23:54Everybody stays in this house.
00:23:56Hannigan sees nobody leaves.
00:23:57Curtain, come with me.
00:23:58Excuse me.
00:23:59This sounds awfully serious, Nan.
00:24:01It is.
00:24:02One of our guests, Larry Dearden, slept in the blue room last night.
00:24:05This morning he is gone.
00:24:07Where did he go?
00:24:08A question like that, asked at the right moment, is liable to revolutionize the detective business.
00:24:14You know, Nan, I've been thinking...
00:24:16Oh, that's a good idea.
00:24:17What?
00:24:18Thinking.
00:24:19We better figure out a way to get out of here in time for that first show.
00:24:27Do you really think it's all right for us to try and solve this case ourselves?
00:24:30Why not?
00:24:31The inspector is going to keep us here until they find the guy anyway.
00:24:34It may take 20 years before that happens.
00:24:36Yeah, and we can't afford to wait a minute over 19.
00:24:39Shh.
00:24:40Nan told me this is the blue room.
00:24:42Hey, I wonder why they call it the blue room.
00:24:45I don't know.
00:24:46Maybe it's because the last guy that was in there blue.
00:24:48Do you really think that room's haunted?
00:24:50No.
00:24:51If I did, I'd just be silly.
00:24:53Why don't you go in and see?
00:24:55I'm not that silly.
00:24:57Let's see what's down here.
00:24:59Let's try and be very quiet.
00:25:00Yeah, let's not get into any trouble.
00:25:02I'm allergic to jails.
00:25:04Who's the square?
00:25:05That's Mr. Kirkland, Nan's real father.
00:25:08He died in the blue room.
00:25:10You know, I'll bet there's something behind it.
00:25:12What is that?
00:25:13No, the picture.
00:25:18Where'd that come from?
00:25:19I don't know.
00:25:20All I did was touch the picture.
00:25:22Like this.
00:25:25Talking pictures.
00:25:26Come on.
00:25:32You know, Nan, I have a hunch that if we can solve the mystery surrounding your father's death,
00:25:40we'll have the answer to Larry's disappearance.
00:25:42Well, I've read all the testimony that was taken at the inquest.
00:25:45If there's anything you'd like to know...
00:25:46How many of the people who were in the house now were also present when your father was shot?
00:25:50Let's see.
00:25:51There was mother and my stepfather.
00:25:53He was dad's lawyer at the time.
00:25:55And Dr. Carol and Edward.
00:25:57Last night your mother said something very interesting.
00:25:59That she suspected your father was being blackmailed at the time of his death.
00:26:03Yes, I've heard him mention that before, but it was never proven.
00:26:06It strikes me that if any blackmailing was going on,
00:26:09well, the people most likely to be in possession of such damaging information
00:26:13would be the family doctor and the family lawyer.
00:26:15Are you implying that Dr. Carol and my stepfather had any...
00:26:18I'm not implying anything.
00:26:19Now, look, Nan.
00:26:20Last night you asked me to help you.
00:26:22That's all I'm trying to do now.
00:26:23But I don't see what this all has to do with Larry.
00:26:26Well, just this.
00:26:27Suppose Larry found out who was blackmailing your father,
00:26:29or how your father was killed.
00:26:31Then the murderer would have to get rid of him too, wouldn't he?
00:26:34You know, I've just realized something.
00:26:36If it were possible for someone to get into the blue room
00:26:39with the door and the windows locked,
00:26:41then it must be possible for someone to get out the same way.
00:26:44Exactly, Nan.
00:26:45And spoken like a true detective.
00:26:47Yes, now you've even got me doing it.
00:26:50No.
00:26:51Oh, please let me go.
00:26:53I tell you I didn't do it.
00:26:54You must believe me.
00:26:57Oh, it's no use.
00:26:58If he does know anything, he's not telling.
00:27:00Another good idea gone wrong.
00:27:06Well, now what'll we do?
00:27:07My suggestion, madam, is that you release me from this chair.
00:27:11Yes, so that I can get to the phone and inform my lawyer of this outrage.
00:27:15Oh, gee, Edwards, you wouldn't do that.
00:27:16After all, we were only trying to solve the mystery.
00:27:19Yeah, and anyway, all we did was grill you.
00:27:21Madam, I am not a hamburger.
00:27:23And furthermore, if it ever got out that I've been subjected to the treatment of a common criminal.
00:27:28Me, with a spotless reputation of 30 years.
00:27:32The perfect gentleman, this gentleman.
00:27:35Oh, well, don't worry, Edwards.
00:27:37We'll keep it a secret, if you will.
00:27:40Sure, you can trust us, Edwards.
00:27:41No one outside of this room will ever know.
00:27:43I'd even sign it in blood.
00:27:45If I had any blood.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:48My mother warned me against people like you.
00:27:51She says acting is the devil's profession.
00:27:53Hey, are you trying to say actors are bad?
00:27:55In your case, decidedly, yes.
00:27:58Well, I'll have you know that we were good enough to sing in the same nightclub with Miss Nan.
00:28:01Oh, indeed.
00:28:03Oh, you don't believe us, huh?
00:28:04Well, let me tell you something.
00:28:06She came out and sang a very torchy ballad.
00:28:09Then we came out and did a comedy number.
00:28:12In fact, we'll show you.
00:28:14There's a spook in Tin Pan Valley, walking on the piano keys.
00:28:29He's a jarvin' ghost who can make the most of his rhythmic tendencies.
00:28:34Oh, better watch out, someone's about.
00:28:37Hauntin' the town with new kinds of rhythm.
00:28:40You may meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:28:45Better get wise, cause if he tries, he'll soon have you beatin' his rhythm.
00:28:51When you meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:28:55Ooh, he'll swing through the door if he really gets sore,
00:29:00Cuttin' rugs on the floor by the hundreds or more.
00:29:03As he sings, he will pound with a horrible sound, like a hundred million drums.
00:29:08If you see him once, he'll really hatch ya'.
00:29:11Yes, that man can really hatch ya'.
00:29:14With his bass, he almost wrecks ya'.
00:29:17Ooh, the Boogie.
00:29:20Better get wise, cause if he tries, he will soon have you beatin' his rhythm.
00:29:26When you meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:29:31Oh, better watch out, someone's about.
00:29:44Hauntin' the town with new kinds of rhythm.
00:29:47You may meet the Boogie Woogie Man.
00:29:52Oh, better watch out, someone's about.
00:29:56Hauntin' the town with new kinds of rhythm.
00:29:59You may meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:30:05Better beware, better take care, cause if you don't, you go along with him.
00:30:11When you meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:30:16If you see him once, he really hatch ya'.
00:30:19Yes, that man can really vex ya'.
00:30:22With his bass, he almost wrecks ya'.
00:30:25Ooh, that Boogie.
00:30:27Better get wise, cause if he tries, he'll soon have you beatin' his rhythm.
00:30:33When you meet the Boogie Woogie Boogie Man.
00:30:41Before you go to bed, I want to tell you this.
00:30:51You're all occupied the same rooms you slept in last night.
00:30:54No one has to leave his room till morning for any reason.
00:30:57Good night.
00:30:58Good night, Inspector.
00:30:59Good night, Inspector.
00:31:00Good night.
00:31:01Good night.
00:31:06What about the girls, Inspector?
00:31:08They didn't sleep here last night.
00:31:09Oh, don't worry about us.
00:31:10We're planning to stay up all night.
00:31:12Why?
00:31:13Oh, nothin', just getting in practice for five shows a day.
00:31:16We don't want to miss anything in case anybody tries some funny business.
00:31:19Yeah, and don't think Iraq couldn't stand some funny business.
00:31:29Hey, this guy says he's gonna see Dr. Carroll right away.
00:31:32Excuse me for intrudin', sir.
00:31:33Yes, what is it?
00:31:34Dr. Carroll, my wife's going to have a baby and Dr. Mitchell's out of town.
00:31:38So I was wondering if you could, that is, if you'd be willing to...
00:31:41Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:31:43Edwards, will you get my things?
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:45Where do you live?
00:31:46In the caretaker's cottage, sir, about a mile away.
00:31:48Hannigan.
00:31:49Yes, Chief?
00:31:50You'd better go along in case the doctor needs a little help.
00:31:52Right.
00:31:53Thank you, Inspector.
00:31:54Your subtlety is most gratifying.
00:31:57Too bad, Harry.
00:31:58Good night, Frank.
00:31:59Good night.
00:32:06Oh, 2.30 and all's well.
00:32:08Thank goodness for this coffee.
00:32:10I feel so wide awake.
00:32:11Why don't you go to bed and sleep it off?
00:32:13Why don't we all go to bed?
00:32:14Everybody's been asleep for hours and nothing's happened.
00:32:17Oh, no.
00:32:18We're gonna stay up till morning if it takes all night.
00:32:21The name of the murderer is...
00:32:23The name of the murderer is...
00:32:24What are you doing that for?
00:32:26Well, every time you say that, somebody's supposed to take a shot at you.
00:32:31The name of the murderer is...
00:32:35What was that?
00:32:36It came from over there.
00:32:38Somebody's throwing pebbles at the window.
00:32:40Maybe somebody wants to get into the house.
00:32:42Oh, who'd want to get into this house?
00:32:44Well, there's one way to find out.
00:32:48Peggy, wait a minute. I'm not that anxious now.
00:32:51I'd better open the window before he starts throwing rocks.
00:32:54Yeah, but suppose he starts throwing them after you open it.
00:32:56Oh.
00:33:07Pardon me, lady.
00:33:09Which way to the cemetery?
00:33:12That way.
00:33:14Thank you. Kindly.
00:33:27You look like you've just seen a ghost.
00:33:29You can say that again.
00:33:30Can you imagine a ghost getting locked out of his own house?
00:33:33Maybe he lost his skeleton key.
00:33:43Give me some more coffee, will you, honey? This is cold.
00:33:45Drink hearty, gals. It looks like a long, long night.
00:33:49Say, this coffee tastes better. Why's that?
00:33:53After what I just saw, anything would taste good.
00:33:57It is better, though.
00:33:58Who knows?
00:33:59Maybe something new has been added.
00:34:05What's that?
00:34:06Old Faithful again.
00:34:08Sounds like someone's in the hall.
00:34:10Come on, let's see who it is.
00:34:12You mean what it is?
00:34:13Well, around here, you never can tell.
00:34:26Who is this?
00:34:27Who's there?
00:34:31Shhh.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33Shhh.
00:34:34You had to scare for a minute.
00:34:35Where are you going?
00:34:36Up to the blue room, to sleep.
00:34:38But why?
00:34:39I promised Larry.
00:34:40Besides, I have an idea.
00:34:41It may help to solve his disappearance.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:45It's your funeral.
00:34:46Don't talk like that.
00:34:47Good night, girl.
00:34:48Good night.
00:34:49Good night.
00:34:56I guess I've had too much excitement.
00:34:57I'm starting to get drowsy.
00:34:59So am I.
00:35:00I'm certainly glad we have this coffee.
00:35:02The trouble is, you kids can't take it.
00:35:04Why don't you be like me?
00:35:06Here, have some more of this, or we'll all fall asleep.
00:35:08Leave.
00:35:09Yeah, I don't know if it's safer to stay awake and get murdered, or go to sleep and just disappear.
00:35:14Maybe if we keep moving, we can walk it off, huh?
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:21Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go right?
00:35:25And nights, too.
00:35:29What are you doing?
00:35:30You said to keep moving, didn't you?
00:35:31Keep moving.
00:35:32Somebody hold me up, will you?
00:35:38What's the matter?
00:35:39Eddie?
00:35:40I'm okay.
00:35:41Who's going to hold us up?
00:35:43I'm going to sleep.
00:35:44I'm tired, too.
00:35:45Eddie?
00:35:47You can't go to sleep now.
00:35:49No.
00:35:51You've got to stay up and catch the murderer.
00:35:53Yes.
00:35:54Catch the murderer.
00:35:55It's the Blue Room again.
00:36:07You stay right here.
00:36:09What made you think I was going anywhere?
00:36:16Excuse me, sir, but I think you ought to know this.
00:36:18I just received a signal from the Blue Room.
00:36:20I left instructions no one was to sleep there last night.
00:36:24As far as I know, nobody did.
00:36:25Come on.
00:36:37It's not locked, but something's holding.
00:36:47Shot through the heart.
00:36:48Shot through the heart.
00:36:50Know him?
00:36:51Yes.
00:36:53Mary Dearden.
00:36:54Oh, Frank!
00:36:55Oh, Jim!
00:36:56You better take her to a room.
00:36:59Well, at least we got the corpus delicti.
00:37:02Now all we need is a couple of suspects.
00:37:15What's the matter?
00:37:18There must be a homicidal maniac loose in this house.
00:37:19They ain't dead.
00:37:20They're still breathing.
00:37:21Pour some of that coffee.
00:37:22Where am I?
00:37:23You're all right.
00:37:24Don't worry.
00:37:25Come on.
00:37:26Come on.
00:37:27Wake up.
00:37:28Darling.
00:37:29Hey.
00:37:30Oh, it's you, crumple puss.
00:37:31We just found a body in the Blue Room.
00:37:32You girls wouldn't know anything about it, would you?
00:37:33The Blue Room?
00:37:34Poor Steve.
00:37:35I knew we shouldn't let him go up there.
00:37:36What's that about Steve?
00:37:37Man, it's all our fault.
00:37:38He insisted on spending the night in the Blue Room, and we didn't stop him.
00:37:39But it wasn't Steve.
00:37:40I knew we shouldn't let him go up there.
00:37:41What's that about Steve?
00:37:42Man, it's all our fault.
00:37:43He insisted on spending the night in the Blue Room, and we didn't stop him.
00:37:44But it wasn't Steve we found up there.
00:37:45It wasn't.
00:37:46Do you know where this Steve Randall is now?
00:37:47No.
00:37:48I was just looking for him myself, but I couldn't find him.
00:37:50Well, that's just dandy.
00:37:51Well, if it weren't you, you're going to have to do a second.
00:37:55That's what we heard.
00:37:56I shouldn't let Steve make this happen, but I don't know.
00:37:59Let's go.
00:38:01He was supposed to be a little fool.
00:38:03It's all about Steve if you could just get down there.
00:38:06No.
00:38:07I got up there.
00:38:08No.
00:38:09No, no.
00:38:10No, no.
00:38:11No, I was looking for him myself, but I can't find him.
00:38:14Well, that's just dandy.
00:38:17One guy sleeps up there and he disappears.
00:38:20Another guy sleeps up there and he disappears.
00:38:22And what do we find instead?
00:38:23The body of the first guy.
00:38:26What do you make of that?
00:38:27Oh, well, let's see.
00:38:29The first guy sleeps there.
00:38:31Then the second guy disappears.
00:38:33Then the second guy's body...
00:38:35The first...
00:38:36Curtin, you better go out and search the grounds again.
00:38:39Anything wrong?
00:38:41Yes, doctor, something is wrong.
00:38:42Steve Randall disappeared.
00:38:43No.
00:38:44And we found Dearden's body.
00:38:45Where?
00:38:45Up in the blue room.
00:38:46In the blue room?
00:38:47Yes.
00:38:48Do you want to go up and take a look at it, doc?
00:38:49Well, yes, yes, of course.
00:38:54Were you with the doctor all night?
00:38:56Yeah, he wasn't out of my sight for a minute.
00:38:58Are you sure you didn't fall asleep at any time?
00:39:00Bad chance I had to sleep.
00:39:02That guy's wife had triplets.
00:39:03Well, I guess that eliminates the doctor.
00:39:05Yeah, but now you got three new suspects.
00:39:10And what's the connection between Larry's death and Steve's disappearance?
00:39:15That question's been running through my brain all day.
00:39:18You don't think that Steve was jealous of Larry, do you?
00:39:21I've hardly known him long enough for that.
00:39:23Still, I can't help feeling that I'm at least partly responsible for Larry's death.
00:39:27Oh, no, you mustn't talk like that.
00:39:29But if only I'd been kinder to him.
00:39:31If I'd promised to marry him, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
00:39:33I'm afraid Larry could never have married you, ma'am.
00:39:38Why not?
00:39:39Well, just have faith in what I'm saying.
00:39:41But I want to know, was there anything wrong with him?
00:39:43No, no, nothing.
00:39:45Then why shouldn't I have married him if I wanted to?
00:39:48Because Larry Dearden was your brother.
00:39:51Your half-brother.
00:39:53Sam Kirkland, your father, was in love with Larry's mother years ago.
00:39:56Oh, I'm sorry to have had to tell you this, but under the circumstances, I thought you should know.
00:40:03I understand, Doctor.
00:40:08Oh, it's no use, kids.
00:40:10I don't feel like rehearsing.
00:40:11Me neither.
00:40:12I feel lower than last week's salary.
00:40:15We have to, kids.
00:40:16Do you realize it's only 24 hours away from the opening and we haven't even got a dance routine set?
00:40:20So what?
00:40:21We'll never make the show.
00:40:22Nor at the rate this investigation is going.
00:40:24When we leave here, we can move right into the old lady's home.
00:40:27Oh, but things happen like that.
00:40:29If we hadn't come here in the first place, we wouldn't even have a job.
00:40:32Yes, and now that we did come and got the job and can't leave,
00:40:35why, it's the same as if we hadn't come to get the job we can't have.
00:40:39You speak English, too?
00:40:41Oh, come on, kids.
00:40:42Let's nap out of it.
00:40:43This isn't like us to let something get us down.
00:40:45Let's do something cheerful, like dance away your blues.
00:40:48Or every cloud must have a silver lining.
00:40:50All I can think of is old man Moses dead.
00:40:54Can't eat.
00:40:55Get this.
00:40:56God, oh, take it.
00:40:56Give it.
00:40:57All I can think of is good,理由.
00:40:58When is this?
00:40:59You too?
00:41:00I go COME on.
00:41:03You too, be답.
00:41:08What?
00:41:10Oh, come on.
00:41:12Woo!
00:41:13Tomorrow.
00:41:13You.
00:41:13You too.
00:41:14Yay за этот.
00:41:16You.
00:41:17You too.
00:41:18Die, you too.
00:41:19Ahora, it's going to first.
00:43:26That's Betty.
00:43:26Anything for a gag.
00:43:28What are you doing, girl?
00:43:29There's an electric wire coming out of the carpet.
00:43:32Say, I'll bet that's what's making the piano play.
00:43:35I think we've got something here.
00:43:37Let's follow it and see where it leads to.
00:43:38It goes down the cellar.
00:43:51But we don't.
00:43:52Oh, come on now.
00:43:52Don't tell me you're afraid of a little trip to the cellar.
00:43:55I don't have to tell you.
00:43:56My needs are beating it out in Morse code.
00:43:58Look, the sooner we solve the mystery, the sooner we can get out of here.
00:44:00Yeah, but I don't want them to be playing sad music when I leave.
00:44:03Oh, don't worry.
00:44:04Nothing's going to happen to you.
00:44:05Come on.
00:44:06All right.
00:44:06But I'm only doing this to avoid a scene.
00:44:08Shh.
00:44:20Look, let's not rush into this thing.
00:44:22Why don't we come back in a year or two?
00:44:23Shh.
00:44:38Be quiet.
00:44:39I found a gun.
00:44:41A gun.
00:44:42I won't bring it along.
00:44:43It might be just what we need.
00:44:44Come on.
00:44:52Edwards, what will your mother say about this?
00:45:08But I didn't do it.
00:45:09You didn't do what?
00:45:10What do you think, miss?
00:45:11Then who's been working these gadgets?
00:45:13I was only obeying orders.
00:45:14Orders?
00:45:15Why must it always be the butler?
00:45:17So you're the one who's been doing all this funny business.
00:45:20Only it isn't funny, bud.
00:45:22You know, they build jails for people like you, Edwards.
00:45:25Disturbing the peace.
00:45:26That's what you've been doing.
00:45:27Yes.
00:45:28And how can we be sure you aren't the murderer?
00:45:31Murder is a hard word, Edwards.
00:45:33And you're supposed to be the perfect gentleman's gentleman.
00:45:37We'd like to have an explanation about a lot of things.
00:45:39So would I.
00:45:41What are you girls doing down here?
00:45:42We've just been getting a confession from your butler, Mr. Baldrige.
00:45:45Confession?
00:45:46Mm-hmm.
00:45:46He's turned out to be quite the mystery man.
00:45:48Oh, no, sir.
00:45:49I'm innocent.
00:45:50All I did was to follow Mr. Dearden's instructions.
00:45:52Dearden?
00:45:53Yes, sir.
00:45:53He paid me to operate these devices.
00:45:55But why?
00:45:56I'm not sure, sir.
00:45:58But I believe he wanted to frighten everybody.
00:46:00So that when he volunteered to sleep in the blue room,
00:46:02Miss Nan would be impressed by his bravery.
00:46:04Well, how come you're still working this stuff after he disappeared?
00:46:07First, I thought that was part of his scheme.
00:46:09But when his body was found this morning,
00:46:12I decided I'd better dismantle the apparatus.
00:46:14You wouldn't be knowing about that coffee that made us go to sleep last night, would you?
00:46:21I'm sorry, Miss,
00:46:22but I couldn't take the chance of spoiling Mr. Dearden's plans.
00:46:25All right, everybody.
00:46:26Don't touch a thing.
00:46:27We're all going upstairs and have a nice long talk.
00:46:30Oh, dear.
00:46:31Baldrige, you were Sam Kirkland's lawyer, weren't you?
00:46:36Yes, and his friend.
00:46:38And Mrs. Baldrige,
00:46:39did you and your first husband get along well together?
00:46:41Why, of course.
00:46:42What do you mean by that?
00:46:44How soon after his death were you two married?
00:46:46About a year.
00:46:47But I don't see what all this has to do with...
00:46:48Mr. Baldrige,
00:46:49I'm convinced there's a connection between Kirkland's death and that of Larry Dearden.
00:46:53Well, I think you're way off the mark.
00:46:55Why don't you try and locate Steve Randall first?
00:46:57I agree with Frank, Inspector.
00:46:59Find Randall and you've got the key to your mystery.
00:47:01Yeah, why don't you find Randall?
00:47:10Where did you get this?
00:47:11I stumbled across it in the cellar.
00:47:14It was lying under the staircase.
00:47:15Why didn't you show it to me before?
00:47:17Because that's our clue.
00:47:19Yeah, why don't you go find your own?
00:47:20Does anyone here know whose gun this is?
00:47:23Why, it looks like my husband's.
00:47:25Doesn't it, Frank?
00:47:27Yes, I think it does.
00:47:28Can't you be sure?
00:47:31Yes, it is.
00:47:34One shot has been fired.
00:47:36What?
00:47:37And the bullet the coroner removed from the body of Larry Dearden was the same caliber as this gun.
00:47:41That proves nothing.
00:47:43I'm sorry, Mr. Baldrige.
00:47:44I'll have to hold you on suspicion of murder until I get a report from our ballistics expert.
00:47:48No.
00:47:48It's all too preposterous.
00:47:50Maybe so, but it won't be the first time the man who's sent for the police turned out to be the guilty party.
00:47:54You mean you're going to arrest him like a common criminal?
00:47:56Let's just call it a formality, Miss Kirkland.
00:47:59I think you're making a big mistake, Inspector.
00:48:03Now we've really done it.
00:48:05Can you imagine Mr. Baldrige going to jail?
00:48:07And we're the ones who are sending him there.
00:48:09There's only one way we can square ourselves.
00:48:11We've got to solve this mystery tonight.
00:48:13How?
00:48:14By sleeping in the blue room.
00:48:16What?
00:48:16Oh, no.
00:48:17Now let's not overdo this thing.
00:48:18Look, Steve was right.
00:48:19The blue room is the answer to this whole thing.
00:48:21The only way to get the answer is to spend a night in there.
00:48:24Who is going to spend what and where?
00:48:27You know what's going to happen to us if we do.
00:48:29Tomorrow we'll disappear and they'll find Steve's body.
00:48:32Yeah, this could turn into a vicious circle.
00:48:34Well, suit yourselves, kids.
00:48:35But I'm going to spend the night there.
00:48:37Oh, Peggy, you can't.
00:48:37Oh, we won't let you do it.
00:48:38No use arguing.
00:48:39I made up my mind.
00:48:42Okay.
00:48:42You win.
00:48:44But something tells me tomorrow there are going to be three new ghosts haunting this house.
00:48:54Shh.
00:49:03It's only a tomcat?
00:49:05Well, if it's time, I hope Dick and Harry don't show up.
00:49:12Hey, I just got a terrific idea.
00:49:19What?
00:49:20Let's go back.
00:49:20No.
00:49:22Come on.
00:49:22What are you, a man or a mouse?
00:49:24Right now, I wish I was a mouse.
00:49:25Shh.
00:49:26Cozy little layout, isn't it?
00:49:41Yeah, now we know where the dust bowl went to.
00:49:44Why are you closing the door?
00:49:45You don't want anybody to get in, do you?
00:49:47I'm not worried about anyone getting in.
00:49:49It's about us getting out.
00:49:51You mean we're going to sleep in there?
00:49:53Can you suggest a better place to sleep?
00:49:56But that's where they found the body this morning.
00:49:58So what?
00:49:59Well, I don't like dead people.
00:50:00They're not my type.
00:50:02Oh, come on.
00:50:03Get in.
00:50:03Well, here goes nothing.
00:50:06Are you sleeping with your robe on, dear?
00:50:09Sure.
00:50:10You never can tell who may drop in.
00:50:15I can't do it.
00:50:16Oh, force yourself.
00:50:18Come on.
00:50:24Now, boy.
00:50:25There's something in there.
00:50:27Something cold and sleaky.
00:50:29It's only my flashlight.
00:50:31Now, come on.
00:50:32Get in and get to sleep.
00:50:33All right, but I'm still scared.
00:50:35Well, then you get over here.
00:50:37Move in the middle, and then nothing can hurt you.
00:50:40All right, but I know I'll hate myself in the morning for this.
00:50:43Oh.
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:46Now, just relax and go to sleep.
00:50:49Good night.
00:50:50Good night.
00:50:51Pleasant nightmares.
00:51:01I wish you'd keep your hands to yourself.
00:51:15What are you talking about?
00:51:16I didn't touch you.
00:51:18Don't tell me.
00:51:19I felt it.
00:51:20All right, if I did, it was an accident.
00:51:22I'm sorry.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:24Nervous enough.
00:51:32Well, you didn't have to hit me.
00:51:34I said I was sorry.
00:51:35I didn't touch you.
00:51:37Oh, don't give me that innocent act.
00:51:38What?
00:51:39Oh, well, you quit arguing.
00:51:41I can see we have to keep you two separated.
00:51:43Now, come on.
00:51:43Let me get in the middle.
00:51:44No.
00:51:45Yes, you are.
00:51:46I don't want to go out of here.
00:51:48I don't see why I have to be the one to get the worst of it.
00:51:52You're nothing but fighting with Kathy.
00:51:54I'm always getting dragged.
00:51:54And he's a thing.
00:51:56Little woman, she's got to sleep here.
00:51:58Come in more than one or two.
00:52:03Look, kids, you don't have to drag me into this.
00:52:06Now, don't tell me you're going to start something.
00:52:08Me start something.
00:52:09Well, I like that.
00:52:10I suppose that wasn't your hand crawling all over my face.
00:52:13It was not.
00:52:14Well, it wasn't me, so it must have been her.
00:52:16Oh, you're crazy.
00:52:17I didn't come anywhere near her.
00:52:19Oh, the trouble with you is your right hand doesn't know what your left hand is doing.
00:52:22The trouble is I don't know what either one of them is doing.
00:52:24Well, that could fit you.
00:52:25That's quite possible.
00:52:26If you two want to fight, leave me out of it.
00:52:28I am sleepy.
00:52:30Oh, gosh.
00:52:31Sometimes I wonder.
00:52:35Now what?
00:52:37I thought I heard something.
00:52:39Oh, lie back.
00:52:39You're dreaming.
00:52:41Didn't you hear a noise that wasn't here before?
00:52:43I mean, did you not hear a noise that was here before?
00:52:46I mean...
00:52:47What's eating you?
00:52:48I know.
00:52:49The stop clock.
00:52:50Huh?
00:52:50The clock stopped.
00:52:52Well, I wish you'd follow its example.
00:52:53Nothing doing.
00:52:54I'm going to set that clock ahead.
00:52:56Oh, what are you going to set it ahead for?
00:52:58In case a ghost comes up to me and says,
00:53:00Your time has come.
00:53:03I want to be able to give him an argument.
00:53:05Oh.
00:53:06Oh, Betty, that's my fault.
00:53:07Ow, that's a good one.
00:53:08Betty.
00:53:10Never grow up.
00:53:11Get some sleep.
00:53:25Betty, watch it.
00:53:28What's the matter?
00:53:29What's the matter?
00:53:30Come on.
00:53:31Come on.
00:53:36A secret passage.
00:53:38Well, we're getting someplace.
00:53:40Hey, are you game to go in there with me?
00:53:42In there?
00:53:43Sure.
00:53:44Without a chaperone?
00:53:45Why not?
00:53:46We've gone this far.
00:53:47We might as well finish the job.
00:53:49All right.
00:53:50But don't you think we'd better arm ourselves?
00:53:52That's not a bad idea.
00:53:54Hey, how about those fire irons?
00:53:56All right.
00:53:57Come on, Betty.
00:53:58What for?
00:53:59Oh, don't you want something?
00:54:00No, I'll just use my brains.
00:54:02You're a dead pigeon.
00:54:09Here.
00:54:10Thanks.
00:54:11I know just what's the matter.
00:54:12What's the matter?
00:54:13I don't know what I'm doing.
00:54:14Oh.
00:54:14Here's your flashlight.
00:54:15Okay, come on now.
00:54:15You go first.
00:54:16All right.
00:54:17Why doesn't somebody stop me?
00:54:19Oh, come on.
00:54:20Oh, come on.
00:54:27Wait.
00:54:30What's the matter?
00:54:31I just remembered.
00:54:31I've got to go and see about a sick friend.
00:54:33Who?
00:54:33Me.
00:54:34Oh, come on.
00:54:35Look.
00:54:36The opening's closing.
00:54:43There's no use doing that.
00:54:44You mean we're trapped?
00:54:46Well, it ain't the other way around.
00:54:47We'll never get out of here alive.
00:54:49Keep your girdle on.
00:54:50There must be some other way of getting out.
00:54:51Come on.
00:54:51Come on.
00:54:57Who's there?
00:55:09Dr. Carroll.
00:55:14Well, what are you doing up so late?
00:55:16I couldn't sleep.
00:55:17Besides, I heard a noise.
00:55:18What about you?
00:55:19Well, I was sitting here smoking a cigarette,
00:55:21and I started toying with this lion's head.
00:55:24It seemed to be loose.
00:55:25Then I happened to turn it.
00:55:27And look.
00:55:29A secret passage.
00:55:31Well, where does it lead to?
00:55:32That's just what I mean to find out right now.
00:55:35This may provide the evidence that we're looking for.
00:55:37Well, let me go with you.
00:55:38Well, no, it may not be safe.
00:55:41You better wait here.
00:55:57Maybe it may not be safe.
00:56:11Hmm.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:12Oh, no.
00:56:14Oh, my God.
00:56:15Oh, my God.
00:56:15Feel that you're not right there.
00:56:16Spit it close to this stonevolley?
00:56:17Well, let's戦 you next time,
00:56:18can you?
00:56:18Oh, I'm going to go on.
00:56:19I'm going to go on this side.
00:56:20Not a secret but this side.
00:56:21Don't take you in.
00:56:22did you hear something yes it wasn't me was it
00:56:51I got me
00:57:10look at here
00:57:19Dr. Carroll
00:57:33put the handcuffs on him Hannigan now wait a minute inspector
00:57:39Steve I'm sorry I had to treat you so roughly man I was only trying to protect you
00:57:44do you mind telling me what this is all about Mac he's trying to say something I
00:57:49think I can tell the inspector everything he wants to know I wish you
00:57:52would well let's get you when he found out that Sam Kirkland was his father as
00:57:56well as the victim of a blackmail plot he figured the two facts were related and
00:58:01since Dr. Carroll was the only one who was aware of the paternity business but
00:58:04seemed logical to assume that he was the blackmailer and ultimately the murderer
00:58:08how do you know Larry Gearden doped all this out well frankly I don't but it
00:58:12doesn't matter the important thing is that Dr. Carroll was afraid Larry had
00:58:15stumbled across the truth and when Larry insisted on sleeping in the blue room
00:58:19Dr. Carroll figured that was his chance to get rid of him so that night he went up
00:58:22the secret passageway and shot Larry the same way he murdered Kirkland 20 years
00:58:27before but why had he wanted to kill father because your father refused to be
00:58:30blackmailed any longer that's very interesting but how do you fit into all
00:58:34this last night in the blue room I discovered the passageway behind the
00:58:37clock and also Larry's body I decided to leave the corpse out in the open as a
00:58:41sign to the killer that I was wise to him I figured that anyone who came after me
00:58:45would have a guilty knowledge of the secret of the blue room but mr. Randall
00:58:48we found you here and we're certainly not guilty of any of the crimes why you
00:58:52might have shot us in cold blood that's why I tried to scare you out of the
00:58:55blue room so you wouldn't get in the way
00:58:58you've done a nice job of reconstruction I guess this finishes your book for you
00:59:06too bad I won't be there for the happy ending
00:59:10say did you see Steve and Ann give each other that certain look across the
00:59:20breakfast table I'll bet we'll be going to a wedding pretty soon
00:59:23not if it's in that house we won't
00:59:25why not the mystery solved isn't it yeah but there's still a lot of clear
00:59:29things going on things that no one can explain I know what you mean boy I know
00:59:35I wouldn't go back there if they gave me a million dollars you and me both
00:59:41oh this is the end
00:59:49THE END
