00:00:00The End
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:01:00Now, don't say what's your hurry.
00:01:15Yeah, and don't ask us where the fire is.
00:01:20Didn't you guys see me wave at you?
00:01:22Well, we waved back, didn't we?
00:01:24Yeah, he did like this.
00:01:25Shut up.
00:01:26You broke a traffic law.
00:01:27Well, can't you make another one?
00:01:30I'm going to give both you guys a ticket.
00:01:33Well, be sure they're down front.
00:01:34My partner doesn't see very well.
00:01:36Yeah, my glasses.
00:01:37Don't try to kid me.
00:01:39These guys like you that keep us cops busy.
00:01:41Don't you ever think of accidents?
00:01:43Accidents.
00:01:44Accidents.
00:01:44My dear man, that's our business.
00:01:47Allow me.
00:01:48Accidents.
00:01:49My card.
00:01:50My card.
00:01:52Boswell and Gansey.
00:01:54Insurance, eh?
00:01:54Yes.
00:01:55This is Mr. Boswell.
00:01:57Mr. Boswell, shake hands with Mr. Policeman.
00:01:58I'm pleased to meet you.
00:02:00And this is Mr. Gansey.
00:02:01Mr. Gansey, shake hands with Mr. Policeman.
00:02:03I'm pleased to meet you, sir.
00:02:04I'm pleased to meet you.
00:02:05Now, here's a policy that offers triple protection against bruises, earthquakes, and relatives.
00:02:10Have you ever stopped to realize that old age is creeping up on you?
00:02:13My dear man, you owe it to your wife.
00:02:15I haven't got a wife.
00:02:16We'll get you one.
00:02:17Yes.
00:02:18Now, I would like to ask you a few questions.
00:02:20How's your liver?
00:02:21What?
00:02:21Now, don't tell me you haven't got a liver.
00:02:23But I don't need any insurance.
00:02:25You are just the type that does need insurance.
00:02:27Why, do you realize that since 1910, they have discovered 52 new ways of dying?
00:02:33And you don't look well.
00:02:35Yes.
00:02:35Why, uh, uh, people are dying this year that have never died before.
00:02:39Well, what kind of insurance do you do?
00:02:41Any kind.
00:02:42Now, answer me.
00:02:43Answer me.
00:02:43In the morning when you get up, do you sort of have a numpy feeling in here?
00:02:47Uh, come to think of it, I believe I do.
00:02:49Just as I thought.
00:02:50Gallstone.
00:03:00Ah, another prospect.
00:03:02And what a prospect.
00:03:05Hey.
00:03:07Give her sales talk number seven.
00:03:08And don't come back without a policy.
00:03:11Now then, where were we?
00:03:12Oh, yes.
00:03:13Around the gallstone area.
00:03:14My man, do you realize that you've got enough gallstones to start a quarry?
00:03:22Hello.
00:03:22Hello.
00:03:24Are, um, are we holding you up?
00:03:27Yes.
00:03:27And I'm awfully angry about it.
00:03:30Ah.
00:03:31What's your name?
00:03:32Mary.
00:03:34Mary Marsh.
00:03:35Mary.
00:03:36Gee, that's a swell name.
00:03:39My name is Wilbur.
00:03:41I don't mind.
00:03:45Now, uh, let's see your tongue.
00:03:48Say ah.
00:03:49Ah.
00:03:49Just as I thought.
00:03:52You reached me just in time.
00:03:54Has it got a coat on it?
00:03:56Not only a coat, but a vest and a pair of pants.
00:04:00You know, Mary, you're the kind of a girl that I could...
00:04:05Hey, number seven.
00:04:11Have you ever stopped to realize that old age is creeping up on you?
00:04:14What are you talking about?
00:04:16Protection.
00:04:17That's what you need.
00:04:18Throughout your declining years, you will need to be provided for,
00:04:21and I am here to offer you that protection.
00:04:24Well, that's awfully nice of you, and I think you're...
00:04:29Well, you have to let me think it over for a while.
00:04:31Oh, that is the trouble with America today.
00:04:34Procrastine.
00:04:36Procrast...
00:04:37Why give it up?
00:04:38Accept my proposition now,
00:04:40and know the value of a steady income
00:04:43and the happiness of a contented family.
00:04:45Well, I just met you,
00:04:47and I think I could like you an awful lot,
00:04:49and I think we could be awfully happy together,
00:04:52and, well, I might accept your proposal,
00:04:54but, well, you'd have to ask Mother anyway.
00:04:57Now that I've signed this policy,
00:05:02suppose I got double pneumonia.
00:05:04Oh, then you would be lucky.
00:05:06Lucky?
00:05:07Certainly, because then you'll get a great bargain.
00:05:10Instead of dealing with you in the singular,
00:05:12we pay you off in the pleurisy.
00:05:16Oh, I see.
00:05:19Good luck.
00:05:20You'll need it.
00:05:21I'm certainly glad I met you, fellas.
00:05:22Mary, I want you to meet my partner,
00:05:28Mr. J. Addington Gansey.
00:05:30This is Mary Marsh.
00:05:31How do you do?
00:05:32Fidget the digit, honey.
00:05:33Fidget the digit.
00:05:34You know I love the name of Marsh.
00:05:36It's so mellow.
00:05:37Has my partner been telling you
00:05:39about wonderful insurance?
00:05:40Oh, is that what he was talking about?
00:05:43Well, not exactly.
00:05:45You see, I, uh...
00:05:47Tell us something about yourself, Mary.
00:05:49Well, I'm running away from home.
00:05:51No.
00:05:51Yes.
00:05:53You see, it's like this.
00:05:54My mother made millions out of oil.
00:05:56Oh, tell me about it, child.
00:05:59Tell me about it.
00:06:00But she lost most of it.
00:06:01Tell him about it, child.
00:06:02Tell him about it.
00:06:04But why are you running away?
00:06:05Oh, because my mother wants me to marry
00:06:07our attorney, John Blackwell.
00:06:10You did right, Mary.
00:06:11But where are you running to?
00:06:13To my hotel.
00:06:14Oh, your hotel.
00:06:16Oh, your hotel.
00:06:17Yes, the Ritz-Dee La Riviera at Floralhurst.
00:06:20Now, my plan is to go down there
00:06:22and operate it myself,
00:06:24make it a success,
00:06:25and then I can be independent.
00:06:26And you're perfectly right.
00:06:28All you need is a couple of good men like us
00:06:30to help you out.
00:06:30And are we good men?
00:06:32Oh, ho.
00:06:32We are now in the hotel business.
00:06:35Gee, that's grand.
00:06:36Boy, that's what I call exhilarating.
00:06:39What?
00:06:40Exhilarating.
00:06:41Exhilarating.
00:06:42I'll have to look that up.
00:06:45Exhilarating.
00:06:46Let's be off.
00:06:47Wait a minute.
00:06:48Do you boys know anything about hotels?
00:06:50Oh, ho.
00:06:51Do we know anything about hotels?
00:06:53Child, there are several hotels looking for us
00:06:56right this very minute.
00:06:57What's the matter?
00:07:13Are you out of gas?
00:07:14No.
00:07:15This is a hotel.
00:07:18Pretty, isn't it?
00:07:19Showplace, I call it.
00:07:21Showplace.
00:07:21John Blackwell certainly was lying.
00:07:24I think it's a shame the way he left this hotel run down.
00:07:26Yeah, it's run down all right.
00:07:29You know, it's supposed to be early Victorian.
00:07:32Very early.
00:07:33Too early.
00:07:34Mother said that all the big bugs used to live there.
00:07:37They're probably still here.
00:07:39Let's look around.
00:07:53This looks like the place that fellow King Tut was buried.
00:08:20Buried?
00:08:22Looks more like the place where he was born.
00:08:25Where did you say you got this hotel?
00:08:28My uncle gave it to me.
00:08:31Honey, you've been robbed.
00:08:34Robbed is right.
00:08:37Oh, come on, Addington.
00:08:39Let's look around.
00:08:40We might be able to put it over.
00:08:43It would be easier to push it over.
00:08:45It would be easier to push it over.
00:08:50Look!
00:08:52What's that?
00:08:56Is it a mummy?
00:08:58No, it's Father Time's grandfather.
00:09:05Boy, boy.
00:09:07Come, come, my good man.
00:09:09Wait, wait.
00:09:10Let's see who's registered here.
00:09:11General Grant, Lydia Pinkham, Buffalo Bill.
00:09:18Quite a cast.
00:09:19Quite a cast.
00:09:21Do you think they're still here?
00:09:22They are if they left a call with him.
00:09:25Ah, the morning paper.
00:09:33Oh, boy.
00:09:35Wait till they hear what Dewey did at Manila Bay.
00:09:38You'd better wake him the old man.
00:09:40He may be dead.
00:09:41Boy, boy, this is becoming irksome.
00:09:43Come, come.
00:09:43Come on, lunch.
00:09:44Hey.
00:09:44Lunch?
00:09:45Kent City, all out.
00:09:51Lad, this young lady here has placed us in full charge
00:09:55of the Hotel Rich DeRiver,
00:09:57and we intend to place it where it belongs.
00:09:59Now, our first innovation is to be the inauguration
00:10:03of the eight-hour day.
00:10:05Eight hours in the morning and eight hours in the afternoon.
00:10:08Well, lad, don't help me any.
00:10:10I'm the night man.
00:10:12I'm the night man.
00:10:45Gee, I'm scared.
00:10:55That's all right, little one.
00:10:56I'm here.
00:10:57Who's our guest?
00:10:59Why, he ain't no guest.
00:11:01He's the house detective.
00:11:03I'm afraid to think it's a bust.
00:11:05Come on, let's sign off.
00:11:06Oh, boys, we've got to think of something.
00:11:09Gee, it would be wonderful
00:11:10if we could do something with this hotel.
00:11:12Wonderful?
00:11:13It would be miraculous.
00:11:14It would make a swell fire.
00:11:20Wait a minute.
00:11:21I've just given birth to one idea.
00:11:24My, how you must have suffered.
00:11:25Listen.
00:11:28Now listen to knowledge.
00:11:30What this hotel needs is publicity.
00:11:32I'll send a story to all the leading newspapers
00:11:34saying the society has adopted the hotel as a fad.
00:11:37In two weeks' time,
00:11:38this old birdcage will be on the map.
00:11:40Now, top that one if you care.
00:11:45Now, you two just go on back there,
00:11:46sit down and relax,
00:11:47and I'll telephone the good news to the newspapers.
00:11:49That's the idea.
00:12:00Just relax.
00:12:02Hello, Central.
00:12:03Sorry to disturb you.
00:12:06Connect me with the editor of the New York Examiner.
00:12:09A chair, son,
00:12:10so that I may be able to sit and think.
00:12:12Hello, editor of the New York Examiner.
00:12:16Uh, this is Gansey speaking.
00:12:19Gansey, of Gansey, Gansey, and Gansey.
00:12:22Operators of the world's greatest hotels.
00:12:25We have recently taken over the Hotel Ritz de la Riviera
00:12:29at Florilhurst,
00:12:30and we are making it the mecca of society.
00:12:32Ha, ha, ha, yes.
00:12:35Why, at this very moment,
00:12:37one of the world's greatest painters
00:12:38is busy redecorating.
00:12:42Uh, we have installed the safest safe in the world.
00:12:45Yes, yes.
00:12:47So that society may come here
00:12:48and feel that their jewels will be absolutely safe.
00:12:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:12:53Uh, why, our register already carries
00:12:55some of the world's most prominent names,
00:12:58and one man is here with his wife.
00:13:00Ha, ha, yes.
00:13:01Mm-hmm.
00:13:02Yes, I know you will.
00:13:03Yes, nice.
00:13:05Well, boy, how's that?
00:13:07Ha, ha, that's telling them.
00:13:08Boy, I never fall down on anything.
00:13:12Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:13:18Society's new fad.
00:13:21The Hotel Ritz de la...
00:13:23Well...
00:13:26The rendezvous of wealth and passion.
00:13:29Rendezvous.
00:13:30I don't believe it.
00:13:32The rendezvous.
00:13:35The hope pearls.
00:13:37Well, it looks as if Mary were getting somewhere,
00:13:40even if she did run away.
00:13:42That story is absurd.
00:13:44As your attorney, I can't sanction this crazy business.
00:13:47You can't sanction wealth and passion,
00:13:49flocking to the rich?
00:13:49Ah, nonsense.
00:13:51Mary has probably fallen into the hands
00:13:53of some very clever confidence men,
00:13:55and she'll doubtless wind up losing her hotel.
00:13:57Listen, anything that happens at that hotel
00:13:59will be an improvement.
00:14:00Yes.
00:14:00Well, what about something that may happen to Mary?
00:14:08I never thought of that.
00:14:08Mm-hmm.
00:14:09No.
00:14:09Well, I haven't thought about anything but Mary.
00:14:12You know how much I love her.
00:14:14Well, I ought to have told me often enough.
00:14:16What are your plans?
00:14:18I'll go there at once, throw those men out,
00:14:20and bring Mary home here where she belongs.
00:14:21You're optimistic.
00:14:22You don't know Mary.
00:14:23No, don't worry.
00:14:25I'll settle this.
00:14:26That is, if you'll back me up.
00:14:27Back you up?
00:14:28I'll be right behind you.
00:14:30In fact, I'll go along with you.
00:14:33Well, all right.
00:14:37I'll meet you here at 12.
00:14:40Can you imagine?
00:14:42I can all set the match.
00:14:44I'll go.
00:14:46I'll go.
00:14:47I'll go.
00:14:48I'll go.
00:14:49I'll go.
00:14:49I'll go.
00:14:50I'll go.
00:14:51I'll go.
00:14:51I'll go.
00:14:52I'll go.
00:14:53I got all set to marry the girl, take over the property,
00:14:55and a couple of half-smart guys come along and mess up my plans.
00:14:58You ain't afraid of them, are you?
00:15:00No.
00:15:02I'm just apprehensive.
00:15:04If they find out about our hideaway in the hotel basement,
00:15:06we're lost.
00:15:07Hey, let's get down there and take them for a ride.
00:15:10Or put them on the spot.
00:15:12Well, my motto is give them the pineapple.
00:15:14It never fails.
00:15:16All right, Mac.
00:15:19You get down there as quickly as you can.
00:15:20But don't do any shooting till you see me.
00:15:23All right.
00:15:36This looks like pie for us, boys.
00:15:39Now, remember, you're going to mix with the best people,
00:15:42so watch your step.
00:15:44And the first guy that says ain't gets a sock in the nose.
00:15:48But I'm going to send the Duchess down to try and wiggle the combination
00:15:51out of those two birds that are running the joint.
00:15:55Now, listen, Spagoni.
00:15:57You go on down ahead and look the joint over.
00:15:59We'll meet you there.
00:16:00Sure, Chief.
00:16:01The Duchess is one of the cleverest wives I ever had.
00:16:14Hello?
00:16:16Oh, how are you, Duke?
00:16:19Yes, I was just reading the story.
00:16:21Rather expected your call.
00:16:24Sounds great.
00:16:27Okay, I'll go down first and meet you there.
00:16:30Right.
00:16:31Goodbye.
00:16:54Well, it's just the same thing.
00:16:55It's all about you.
00:16:56Let's go down.
00:16:57You're talking.
00:16:57OK.
00:16:58I'm talking, sir.
00:16:58It's all about you.
00:16:59Can I lie to you?
00:17:00I'm talking.
00:17:01You're talking.
00:17:01I'm talking about you, Duke.
00:17:02I'm telling you we're talking about.
00:17:02I's talking about you.
00:17:03What's the real?
00:17:04Well, don't you?
00:17:04I'm talking about you.
00:17:05Would you like to have to have a conversation?
00:17:05I'm talking about you.
00:17:06Were you ringing?
00:17:08No, I was tolling. I thought you were dead.
00:17:10Take a glass of water to room 16.
00:17:12To drink?
00:17:14No, the lady wants to make a high dive.
00:17:16Say, you know I'm not as big a fool as I used to be.
00:17:20Have you been dieting?
00:17:26This is the Hotel Riz de la Riviera.
00:17:28Yes, just a moment.
00:17:30Oh, Mr. Gansey.
00:17:32Yes, Mr. Boswell.
00:17:34A gentleman in Cincinnati wants to know if the fish are biting.
00:17:38If they are, they're biting each other.
00:17:40They're hungry. No, they're not hungry.
00:17:42Yes?
00:17:43Are you sleuth?
00:17:44All right.
00:17:49That young fellow's a human dynamo.
00:17:51Yes. Everything he has on is charged.
00:17:57You know, things ain't so quiet around here no more.
00:18:00I may decide to quit.
00:18:02In that case, we require two weeks written notice.
00:18:05Why, I can't write.
00:18:06Then that settles that.
00:18:08Now, go upstairs and count the chambermaids.
00:18:11And report to me every now and then.
00:18:15Every now and then?
00:18:16Every now and then.
00:18:19Every now and then.
00:18:25Look.
00:18:26More telegrams.
00:18:27Gosh.
00:18:28If this keeps up, we'll have to build an annex to this hotel.
00:18:31Gee.
00:18:32It's a long time since I've seen you.
00:18:34Yeah.
00:18:36Almost an hour.
00:18:38And you still like me?
00:18:40More than ever.
00:18:42More than ever body?
00:18:45More than any body.
00:18:46Any body.
00:18:47Now, let's don't go into that.
00:18:48Here.
00:18:49Here.
00:18:50Read some telegrams.
00:18:51Here's one from Harold Van Asterbilt.
00:18:54He wants two rooms and four baths.
00:18:56The man's a channel swimmer.
00:19:03Listen to this one.
00:19:04Reserve wedding suite for myself and friend.
00:19:06Also room for the wife.
00:19:08That's what I call breaking them in.
00:19:18Ah.
00:19:19Customers.
00:19:21Be alert, lad.
00:19:22Be alert.
00:19:28Greetings.
00:19:29Greetings.
00:19:30And salutations.
00:19:31How you do, gentlemen?
00:19:33Have you the reservation for the Duchess Bessie Van Asterbilt?
00:19:36Bessie?
00:19:37Why, you're the kind we throw them out for.
00:19:39Will you register, Bessie?
00:19:40Ah, you are so kind.
00:19:45How do you spell Bessie?
00:19:46Yes.
00:19:49I am so sorry.
00:19:50Pardon.
00:19:51You see, your American English, it is so different.
00:19:54Yeah, so is our Scotch.
00:19:56What kind of a room would you like, Duchess?
00:19:59What kind of a room would you like?
00:20:00I should like a room in which I can amuse and cogitate.
00:20:03Suppose I give you one where you can see us and roll back.
00:20:07You mean to tell me you'll never cogitate?
00:20:10Not while I'm on duty, madam.
00:20:11Not while I'm on duty.
00:20:12Look that word up, will you?
00:20:15Cogitate.
00:20:17I-J-K.
00:20:19Codge, Codge, Codge.
00:20:21Cogitate.
00:20:23Would you like a room with or without?
00:20:25I will leave everything to you.
00:20:28She's going to leave it all.
00:20:29He's my partner.
00:20:32You'll have to give me half.
00:20:33Son, son.
00:20:34Can't you see that we're in conference?
00:20:36Return to your cogitating.
00:20:39I hate that word.
00:20:41Cogitate.
00:20:42Is this the wonderful safe I have read so much about?
00:20:45Yes, yes.
00:20:46Would you care to look it over?
00:20:48Oh, that would be very, very interesting.
00:20:50Well, step this way, madam.
00:20:51Step this way.
00:20:52Step this way.
00:20:55There you are.
00:20:56It's a 1932 model.
00:20:57Seven bearing crankshaft.
00:21:00No tin there.
00:21:02Hydraulic brakes.
00:21:03All wool in the yard wire.
00:21:05Is it burglar proof?
00:21:07It is so far.
00:21:09A very fine sense, indeed.
00:21:10I shall probably look into it later.
00:21:12Oh, you must, you must.
00:21:22Come on.
00:21:26Right upstairs.
00:21:40What's the matter with you?
00:21:42What's the matter with that dame?
00:21:43Nothing.
00:21:44The lady is simply eccentric.
00:21:46I'll show her up.
00:21:48I trust you will forgive my partner, Duchess.
00:21:53You see, he falls for every pretty girl he sees.
00:21:57I could not refuse you anything.
00:21:59You are so fascinating.
00:22:01Yes, I suppose so.
00:22:02You know, Duchess, sometimes I think it's a curse.
00:22:06Oh, by the way, is it customary to dress for dinner here?
00:22:09Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:22:10We dress for all meals here.
00:22:12See, it gets a little drafty around sex.
00:22:17You know, I think Addington's idea is going to turn out all wrong.
00:22:22Oh.
00:22:2410.30 in all wool.
00:22:27Did you hear that?
00:22:28Even the Chief himself says it all is well.
00:22:31Well, I don't believe anything I hear these days.
00:22:34Honey, you're going to believe me.
00:22:41Greetings, my friend.
00:22:42Greetings.
00:22:43And salutation.
00:22:45Just kidding.
00:22:46I'd like a sweet.
00:22:47Certainly, certainly.
00:22:48Something modern or comfortable.
00:22:50Or something high up.
00:22:52Something high up.
00:22:53Would $30 a day be high enough?
00:22:56Quite satisfactory.
00:22:57May I register?
00:22:58Certainly, sir.
00:22:59Certainly.
00:23:00Uh, Democrat or Republican?
00:23:02Oh, well, you'll love it here.
00:23:03Our radiators yodel all night.
00:23:05I'd like a room with a good exposure.
00:23:06You want a room with exposure?
00:23:07Are we going to allow that here?
00:23:08Certainly.
00:23:09Your stupidity is stupendous.
00:23:10Stupendous?
00:23:11Stupendous.
00:23:12Stupendous.
00:23:13Stupendous.
00:23:14Stupendous.
00:23:15Stupendous.
00:23:16Stupendous.
00:23:17Stup.
00:23:18Stup.
00:23:19Not that way.
00:23:20Not that way.
00:23:21S-T-double-O-P.
00:23:22Hey.
00:23:23Is that the famous safe I read about?
00:23:24Oh, I...
00:23:25Yes, yes.
00:23:26That's our safe.
00:23:27Well, I got a lot of valuable jewels with me, and I'd like to look it over if it's in order.
00:23:43Why, certainly, sir.
00:23:44It's always in order.
00:23:45Will you step this way?
00:23:54Pet, is it?
00:23:55Very sturdy-looking safe, I should say.
00:23:59In what, uh, compartment will my valuables be kept?
00:24:02Here's where we keep all the valuable jewels, sir.
00:24:04Very, very interesting.
00:24:06I'll send my jewels down later.
00:24:08Good, good.
00:24:09Our safe will always be open to you.
00:24:12Thanks.
00:24:17Well, my word, there's going to be trouble around here.
00:24:20Come on, boy.
00:24:25Come on.
00:24:26Ready, sir?
00:24:28Come on, this guy.
00:24:30Just a few samples from my father's factory.
00:24:34He manufactures lawnmowers.
00:24:40It's a great mower, all right.
00:24:41Here, boy.
00:24:42Come on.
00:24:43Come here, boy. Come on.
00:24:54Do you really think that guy's all right?
00:24:56Don't give it a thought.
00:24:57Society people are simply eccentric.
00:24:59He's a big shot.
00:25:03Big shot? He's a whole arsenal.
00:25:1311 o'clock and all's well.
00:25:25Honey, do you remember the other night,
00:25:28that moonlight night when we were in the boat?
00:25:31Gee, do I? And wasn't it fun that we were four?
00:25:36Mother!
00:25:37Well, I'm glad you admitted,
00:25:39after trying so hard to run away from me.
00:25:41Who's this odd-looking person?
00:25:47This is Wilbur Boswell, Mother.
00:25:49Oh, it is, is it?
00:25:50Well, I don't like his looks.
00:25:51Reminds me of your father.
00:25:55I'm pleased to meet you.
00:25:57Yeah, you just think you're pleased to meet me.
00:25:59Mary, you've made a great mistake
00:26:00and embarrassed your mother dreadfully.
00:26:02Oh, but Mr. Boswell here and his friend Mr. Gansey
00:26:04are wonderful hotel specialists.
00:26:06And, Mother, they're going to make us a fortune.
00:26:08I'd say.
00:26:09Good afternoon, folks.
00:26:11Good afternoon.
00:26:12Good afternoon.
00:26:13Are you being taken care of?
00:26:14Are you?
00:26:17There will now be a slight pause for station announcements.
00:26:22This is my mother, Mr. Gansey.
00:26:24Oh, well, that's different.
00:26:25How are you, Mother?
00:26:26How are you?
00:26:27How are you?
00:26:28And Mr. Blackwell.
00:26:30Well, fidget the digits, old pal.
00:26:32Fidget the digits.
00:26:33You're going to love us around here.
00:26:34You're going to love us.
00:26:35Are you the mother of that beautiful child?
00:26:37Yes, I am.
00:26:40Well, sir, do you know that I have never seen beauty
00:26:43so perfectly transplanted?
00:26:45Oh, Mr. Pansey.
00:26:47Yes.
00:26:48Hey.
00:26:49Not Pansy.
00:26:50Gansey.
00:26:51Gansey.
00:26:52Look.
00:26:53Gah.
00:26:54Gah.
00:26:55Oh, yes.
00:26:56Is that your little boy?
00:26:57No.
00:26:58Mr. Blackwell is my attorney and is to be my future son-in-law.
00:27:01Oh, yes.
00:27:02I guess Mary will have something to say about that.
00:27:04Ah!
00:27:10You know, Mr. Pansey.
00:27:12Gah.
00:27:13Gah.
00:27:14You know, Mr. Gah-gah, I must be very careful of my daughter's social standing.
00:27:19Oh, yes.
00:27:20One must have a social position nowadays.
00:27:22Either that or a job.
00:27:23You know, I've always thought that Mary should marry a man of means.
00:27:26Oh, by all means, Mrs. Marsh.
00:27:27By all means.
00:27:28And you should do the same.
00:27:29Oh, Mr. Ramsey.
00:27:30Your frankness frightens me.
00:27:32Are you married?
00:27:33No.
00:27:34I got this way from riding a bicycle.
00:27:38I think I'll register.
00:27:39You think you'll register?
00:27:40No.
00:27:41I'll register.
00:27:42You think you'll register?
00:27:43No.
00:27:44I'll register.
00:27:45I'll register.
00:27:46I'll register.
00:27:47I want a large room.
00:27:48You'll need it.
00:27:49What's that?
00:27:50I say we got some nice open ones.
00:27:51Come on, Mother.
00:27:52I'll show you your room.
00:27:53You know, I think you're a man with charm and intellect.
00:27:54You'd make a great success at this hotel.
00:27:55If it wasn't for him.
00:27:56If it wasn't for him.
00:27:57I'll see you later.
00:27:58Okay.
00:28:01I'll give you one more time of the theater.
00:28:02Thanks for covering the room.
00:28:03You're part of the room.
00:28:04I think you're a man with charm and intellect.
00:28:07You'd make a great success at this hotel, if it wasn't for him.
00:28:11I'll see you later.
00:28:15I'll see you later.
00:28:29Have a boy show me my room.
00:28:31Certainly, certainly.
00:28:32Your room number will be 28.
00:28:3428.
00:28:36Now, if you wish anything else, just ring a towel.
00:28:41You're both delightfully unfunny.
00:28:45You're going to wipe out our business with those towel jokes.
00:28:51It won't be long now.
00:28:55Do you really think that Mary will have to marry that fellow?
00:28:58I suppose she will.
00:28:59It's customary.
00:29:01Gee.
00:29:03But I'm in love with Mary.
00:29:05You've got to do something about it.
00:29:07For instance, what?
00:29:09If I could think, I wouldn't ask you.
00:29:12But if you're a pal of mine, you'll do something.
00:29:15I mean, I got it.
00:29:18Listen, I'll marry Mrs. Marsh.
00:29:21Then I will be Mary's father.
00:29:24When that happens, I'll give my consent to your marriage to my daughter,
00:29:29which will make you my son.
00:29:31It's a little involved, but it'll work out all right.
00:29:35Paddington, you don't mean to tell me you'd marry that battleship.
00:29:39Certainly.
00:29:40That's a lot of woman, boy.
00:29:42A lot of woman.
00:29:49Look, boy, we're getting the cream of society.
00:29:54Good afternoon, my good man.
00:29:55What good can we do for you?
00:29:57Nice weather we're having.
00:29:59That is, for a small town like this.
00:30:03I am the Duke of Winchester.
00:30:05I would like a very expensive room.
00:30:07You'll get it.
00:30:09Ah, I see my wife is here.
00:30:12Your wife?
00:30:13Yes, in 24.
00:30:15Oh, yes, in 24.
00:30:17That was six years after the war.
00:30:20Is, uh...
00:30:21Yes, that's our little safe.
00:30:23A marvelous piece of furniture.
00:30:25And now, if you don't mind, I'll go to my room.
00:30:27I don't mind a bit.
00:30:28You just run right along.
00:30:38Look at this.
00:30:39Why, it couldn't be him.
00:30:44It couldn't be, but it is.
00:30:47Wait a minute.
00:30:48I'll ask you.
00:30:50I beg your pardon, sir.
00:30:52Is that you?
00:31:02My, oh, my.
00:31:03I do wish they would catch this scoundrel.
00:31:05And, you know, the police are not so hot around here.
00:31:07No, no.
00:31:08They're very lackadaisical.
00:31:15I'm getting sick of this.
00:31:17Lack, lack, lack, lack.
00:31:18L, L, L.
00:31:23You know, I've been mistaken for him many times.
00:31:27It's most annoying.
00:31:28Oh, yes, I should say it.
00:31:29Must be.
00:31:30What right has he got running around looking like you anyway?
00:31:33Rather a peculiar coincidence.
00:31:37A what?
00:31:37Very peculiar.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:39It must have been two other fellows.
00:31:41Yes.
00:31:42Yes.
00:31:43It must have been.
00:31:44I'll show you up.
00:31:46Personally, sir.
00:31:48I'm honored.
00:31:57Mr. Gandy seems very intelligent.
00:31:59But if that other person had another brain, he'd still have just one.
00:32:05Oh, Mother, I think you're all wrong about Wilbur.
00:32:08He has such a sweet personality.
00:32:10Ah.
00:32:10And he's a man you can trust.
00:32:12Nonsense.
00:32:13John Blackwell's a man for you.
00:32:14He's wealthy, worldly, and wise.
00:32:16I think he knows the combination of the safe.
00:32:18I think he knows the combination of the safe.
00:32:20Well, we do.
00:32:21Dominate him.
00:32:21Wear him down.
00:32:23Take your cues from the safe.
00:32:24I think he knows the combination of the safe.
00:32:26My love, you are here.
00:32:28We must have, and I like it very much.
00:32:30Oh, I'm so glad.
00:32:31I'm so glad.
00:32:32Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:32:33You bring the luggage in.
00:32:43I think he knows the combination of the safe.
00:32:45What do we do?
00:32:47Dominate him.
00:32:48Wear him down.
00:32:49Take your cues from me.
00:32:56Beat it.
00:32:58I'll get him.
00:33:11Can I do anything else for you?
00:33:13Yes.
00:33:18I am starving.
00:33:20Well, I'm a little hungry myself.
00:33:23But I am starving for love.
00:33:26Love?
00:33:30Stop!
00:33:35Come over here.
00:33:36No.
00:33:37Will you come over here?
00:33:39Why, certainly.
00:33:45Now put your arms around me.
00:33:49Put your arms around me.
00:33:51No.
00:33:52Make love to me.
00:33:54Ah.
00:33:55Make love to me.
00:33:59You mean whoopee?
00:34:00Make love to me.
00:34:07I simply will not be mother-in-law to such a person as Wilbur Boswell.
00:34:10I don't care.
00:34:11I love him and I'm going to marry him.
00:34:12Oh.
00:34:19Oh.
00:34:21There's your Romeo making Juliet.
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:27He must be sick.
00:34:28Or something.
00:34:36Something is right.
00:34:44Now.
00:34:45I want you to do something.
00:34:47Come on now Duchess.
00:34:48Wait a minute.
00:34:49Wait a minute.
00:34:50Listen.
00:34:52My husband stole my mother's wedding ring.
00:34:55Tonight he will put it in the safe.
00:34:57I must have that ring back.
00:35:00And I want you to give me the combination to the safe.
00:35:03But I don't know the combination.
00:35:04Don't lie to me.

00:38:41Yes sir.
00:38:56Do you think you'll get the combination to the safe.
00:39:00I doubt it.
00:39:02Well then you'll have to vamp the other fellas.
00:39:04All right.
00:39:05All right.
00:39:06I will.
00:39:08Mr. Bartle.
00:39:09Mr. Gansey.
00:39:10That Mr. Blackwell and a gang of crooks are plotting in room 28.
00:39:15There you are Addington.
00:39:16What did I tell you.
00:39:18I'll go upstairs and get an earful of what they're saying.
00:39:21And I'm going with you.
00:39:26Well it's worse than I thought.
00:39:28The girl is in love with one of them.
00:39:30Looks like the old lady is going to fall for the other one.
00:39:32Hmm.
00:39:33It seems like our work is cut out for us.
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:47Come on in here.
00:39:48This room's empty.
00:39:58Put your switch Chief.
00:40:01The thin one's Gansey.
00:40:04The other one's Boswell.
00:40:05Nice boys.
00:40:07Just the type I like.
00:40:10You see you're all wrong.
00:40:12They're very fond of us.
00:40:13They are?
00:40:14Certainly.
00:40:16Let's uh.
00:40:17Let's put them on the spot.
00:40:19Oh.
00:40:20I think we ought to take them for a ride.
00:40:23All right.
00:40:24We'll take them for a ride.
00:40:27Sure we will.
00:40:30Hey.
00:40:31You know what they're going to do.
00:40:32What?
00:40:33Tomorrow they're going to take us for a nice long ride.
00:40:36They are?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:41I hope it don't rain.
00:40:45After the ride.
00:40:47I'll give them each a nice juicy pineapple.

00:40:50What?
00:40:51Guess what?

00:40:58Oh and I just love pineapples.
00:41:01Hey.
00:41:02What?
00:41:03I wonder if I can get them to change mine to a grapefruit.
00:41:04They're juicier.
00:41:05You can ask them.
00:41:06I will.
00:41:08Listen.
00:41:09What?
00:41:10Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

00:41:12Which only goes to prove that you were full of fears and foolish fantasies.
00:41:17You're right, Addington.
00:41:18I feel so badly about this thing.
00:41:19I think I'll go in and hide.

00:49:05Cattle, girlie.
00:49:06Cattle.
00:49:07Cattle.
00:49:08Down in dear Oklahoma.
00:49:09Down dear old Simmeron Way.
00:49:10Oh, the great open spaces.
00:49:12So different from New York.
00:49:13Oh, New York is all right.
00:49:14But I like Boston better.
00:49:15It's more like Grand Rapids.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:17Your ranch must be gorgeous.
00:49:18Oh, it is, honey.
00:49:19It is.

00:49:27It is.
00:49:28It is.
00:49:29It is.
00:49:30It is.
00:49:31It is.
00:49:32It is.
00:49:33It is.
00:49:34The ranch is so swell that we don't have the cattle branded.
00:49:37No?
00:49:38No.
00:49:39We have them engraved.
00:49:40Tell me.
00:49:41Uh, what motor car do you use?
00:49:43Well, right now I'm using two.
00:49:44No.
00:49:45Hmm.
00:49:46I'm off-spinning the Ford.
00:49:47Ah.
00:49:48But I'm putting the big car up for the winter.
00:49:50Oh.
00:49:51You know, I'll just bet you've got a seat on the stock exchange.
00:49:55Seat?
00:49:56I've got a Morris chair.
00:49:58I did have a hammock, but I got rid of it.
00:50:00Oh.
00:50:01Tell me.
00:50:02Tell me.
00:50:03What are your views on love?
00:50:05I have no views.
00:50:06I just love.
00:50:10Oh, I just knew you were that way, you little devil.
00:50:15But tell me, Tweetums, are you unmarried?
00:50:18Oh.
00:50:19Quite often.
00:50:20You know, I shall never forget my second husband.
00:50:23Your second husband?
00:50:24Yes.
00:50:25We met by accident.
00:50:26Hmm.
00:50:27He ran over with my first husband with his car.
00:50:28Oh.
00:50:29Sort of a run-down condition, as were.
00:50:31Yes.
00:50:32But what happened to him?
00:50:34Oh, uh, he died very mysteriously.
00:50:38Is that so?
00:50:39Yes.
00:50:40You know, I was put out for over a year.
00:50:42Put out?
00:50:43Yes.
00:50:44You mean you were put in, don't you?
00:50:46Oh, no.
00:50:47Oh, but it wasn't long before I met my third husband.
00:50:50Your third?
00:50:51Yeah.
00:50:52Yes.
00:50:53Yes.
00:50:54The third.
00:50:55And, uh, what happened to, uh, number three?
00:50:58Oh, uh, he was poisoned.
00:51:01Poisoned?
00:51:02Yes.
00:51:03Excuse me.
00:51:04I'll see you later.
00:51:05Come.
00:51:07You know, you remind me of my third husband.
00:51:10Oh, I remind you of the third husband.
00:51:12Yes.
00:51:13You're so keen.
00:51:14You're so alert.
00:51:15You're so alive.
00:51:16Yes, and I'm going to stay that way, too.
00:51:19Come here.
00:51:20Oh, I must tell you about my fifth husband.
00:51:24Your fifth husband?
00:51:25Yes.
00:51:26Now, wait a minute, honey.
00:51:27Wait a minute.
00:51:28You jumped a husband on me.
00:51:30Oh.
00:51:31What happened to number four?
00:51:34Uh, uh, I don't remember him.
00:51:37Oh, you don't remember him?
00:51:38No.
00:51:39No.
00:51:40No, he was nondescript.
00:51:41Oh, I see.
00:51:42One of those foreigners.
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:44Yeah.
00:51:45Ah, but I shall never forget my fifth husband.
00:51:48Well, lay it on, honey.
00:51:49Lay it on.
00:51:50What happened to number five?
00:51:51Oh, he went to bed with Spinalman and Jesus.
00:51:54Say no more, baby.
00:51:55Say no more.
00:51:56You know what I'm going to do?
00:51:57No.
00:51:58I'm going out and look for a good undertaker.
00:52:00Oh, come back here.
00:52:01Come here.
00:52:02I was only fooling.
00:52:04I was only putting you to the test.
00:52:06I wanted to find out whether you were brave and strong.
00:52:09Then you're not old lady Bluebeard yourself?
00:52:11No.
00:52:12You haven't had all those husbands?
00:52:14Certainly not.
00:52:15Oh, well, then I can speak freely.
00:52:18Honey, you appeal to me.
00:52:20As a matter of fact, you mad me.
00:52:22You're the biggest thing in my life.
00:52:24Oh.
00:52:25Will you marry me and be my widow or wife?
00:52:28Eddington.
00:52:29Rebecca.
00:52:30Oh.
00:52:3910 o'clock and all is well.
00:52:47Well, Gansey and Boswell are confidence men.
00:52:51Crooks.
00:52:52They are not.
00:52:53Whatever Wilbur Boswell is, he's not a crook.
00:52:56Well, perhaps not.
00:52:57But I don't think they'll be here tomorrow.
00:53:00Why do you say that?
00:53:02My information comes from a very reliable source.
00:53:06I still don't believe it.
00:53:08Supposing they do disappear tomorrow.
00:53:11Will you marry me?
00:53:14Well, well, well, well, folks.
00:53:16I certainly am glad to see you entering into the spirit of the occasion.
00:53:20Come on, John.
00:53:21Let's have a dance.
00:53:22Addington has something to talk over with Mary.
00:53:25Addington?
00:53:26Yes, Addington.
00:53:27Come on.
00:53:28Hello, Mother.
00:53:29See you around.
00:53:31What in the world are you and Mother talking about?
00:53:34Your mother and I have just been laying a few domestic plans.
00:53:37You see, we've decided to get married and end it all.
00:53:40Mary?
00:53:41Yes.
00:53:42So you may now consider me your papa.
00:53:44Come, child.
00:53:45Sit.
00:53:49But I'm not sure I want you for a papa.
00:53:51What?
00:53:52Why, I'll make the finest little father that you ever had in your life.
00:53:55And if you're a good little girl, I may allow you to marry Wilbur.
00:54:00But I don't want to marry Wilbur now.
00:54:02Why, daughter?
00:54:03Why?
00:54:04Well, because he has a complex.
00:54:07That's all right.
00:54:08I'll make him trade it for a sedan.
00:54:11No, no.
00:54:12I mean, he has another sweetheart.
00:54:15He has?
00:54:16Why, the scoundrel.
00:54:17I'll teach him to travel with my little gal.
00:54:21Hey.
00:54:23What's the idea?
00:54:24I'm fixing it for you.
00:54:26Fixing it?
00:54:27You're chiseling.
00:54:28That's what you're doing.
00:54:29Don't pay any attention to that man, Daddy.
00:54:38What is this thing called love?
00:54:43I hope you do marry your mother and she falls on you.
00:54:47I'm going out and do something desperate.
00:54:50Daddy, what makes him so wicked?
00:54:52He isn't wicked, daughter.
00:54:54He's weak.
00:54:57Do you think he loves me more than the Duchess?
00:54:59Why, honey, he wouldn't trade you for all the Duchess in Holland.
00:55:04What do you think I should do?
00:55:06Well, now that I've given my consent,
00:55:08I think you ought to look him up and tell him that everything is hotsy-totsy.
00:55:12Gee, but you're going to make a granddaddy?
00:55:15A granddaddy?
00:55:17A granddaddy?
00:55:3510.30 and all's well.
00:55:40If all's well now, I'd hate to see anything go wrong.
00:55:44What's ailing you?
00:55:47I think I'll commit suicide.
00:55:51Say, that's the best idea you've had since you came here.
00:55:57Here.
00:55:59Try that.
00:56:07Do you suppose I could hit my brain?
00:56:09Well, you'll have to be an awful good shot.
00:56:18Oh, Wilbur, please forgive me.
00:56:20Daddy told me the truth about that Duchess.
00:56:22You're just in time, honey.
00:56:24I was going to kill myself.
00:56:26I can't live without you.
00:56:32And I can't live without you either, Wilbur.
00:56:36I can't live without you.
00:56:37I can't live without you.
00:56:38I can't live without you.
00:56:39I can't live without you.
00:56:44Honey, let's not go on the patio.
00:56:47Sit up here a minute.
00:56:51I want to talk to you about our future.
00:56:58Honey, we're going to put this hotel over.
00:57:01Then we'll be married.
00:57:04We're going to have a yacht.
00:57:07Summer and a winter home.
00:57:09Two automobiles.
00:57:11And, uh...
00:57:13Yeah?
00:57:15A motorcycle.
00:57:19And maybe...
00:57:20Maybe.
00:57:50Maybe.
00:57:55I'll split the difference, will you?
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:20And, uh...
00:58:29That's the please nothing.
00:58:30Oh, I'm so right.
00:58:31There must be a storm.
00:58:32There must be a storm.
00:58:52The lights are out.
00:58:53Gee, I'm scared.
00:58:55Let's find Mother Nattieson.
00:58:56Come on, honey.
00:59:02Why, gal, this reminds me of down in near old Oklahoma.
00:59:10Come on, let's get out of here.
00:59:21Hey, we'd better call this thing off or turn it into a swimming party.
00:59:26Quite right, Wilbur, quite right.
00:59:28Uh, folks?
00:59:28On account of this slight weather disturbance, I think we'd better call the party off until
00:59:33tomorrow night.
00:59:34Oh.
00:59:37I would like to place my jewels in the safe.
00:59:40Rare judgment.
00:59:42Duchess, rare judgment.
00:59:44I'll do the same.
00:59:45An excellent idea.
00:59:47Oh, yes.
00:59:47I'm not sure about the safe business.
00:59:50You're never sure about anything.
00:59:52Follow me, folks, and I'll open the safe for you.
00:59:55Oh, yes.
00:59:58Boy, go upstairs and light some of those oil lamps right away.
01:00:04Wilbur?
01:00:04Oh, you open the safe.
01:00:05I'll collect the jewels.
01:00:07Now, we have a little envelope for you, folks.
01:00:08All you have to do is place them in there and tear off your seat.
01:00:10Very neat of the safe.
01:00:11Oh, right.
01:00:12Everything is not related.
01:00:14There.
01:00:15Footloom in a box.
01:00:16Come on.
01:00:18Let's get into our working clothes.
01:00:21I'll take your own seat.
01:00:22I'll take your own right in there.
01:00:25Tear off your own receipt.
01:00:26I'll take your own receipt.
01:00:27Hey, boy.
01:00:32Come on.
01:00:33Let's get going and beat that Duke and his gang to it.
01:00:38Good night, folks.
01:00:39Good night.
01:00:40Good night.
01:00:42Now, you have them sealed tightly, have you?
01:00:44That's fine.
01:00:44Now, you can go to sleep.
01:00:45Man, rest easy.
01:00:46Good night.
01:00:47Good night.
01:00:50Oh, you want us to keep that for you?
01:00:51Certainly.
01:00:53Good night, old boy.
01:00:54Sleep tight.
01:00:55Hey, Sherlock.
01:01:08All's well.
01:01:11Yes, and we want to keep it that way.
01:01:13Come here.
01:01:13You see this safe?
01:01:19Well, it's crammed full of valuable jewels.
01:01:23Is it?
01:01:25Is it?
01:01:26I'm telling you.
01:01:27And it's your duty to keep your eye on it all night.
01:01:30Don't take your eye off of it.
01:01:35Okay, Chief.
01:01:36Leave it to me.
01:01:37Don't make any mistakes.
01:01:52Right.
01:01:53Two of us will go down the back stairway.
01:01:55Spike, you keep us covered from the other end of the balcony.
01:01:59Now, listen, boys.
01:02:03We've got to work fast.
01:02:05Help yourself with the stuff in the safe.
01:02:07But the main thing is Gansey and Boswell.
01:02:10Get them.
01:02:11That's Izzy's job.
01:02:12You take care of them.
01:02:13All right.
01:02:14I'm going to stick around on the balcony.
01:02:16And if anybody busts in, I'm going to pop them.
01:02:19I think I'm right when I say you're wrong.
01:02:42Why?
01:02:45I hear noise.
01:02:47That's static.
01:02:49It's burglars.
01:02:51Lots of them.
01:02:53Will you go back to sleep?
01:02:54We've got to get up early tomorrow afternoon.
01:03:03I'm going downstairs and get those jewels and put them under my pillow.
01:03:07All right.
01:03:07Go ahead.
01:03:08But I remain right here in this nice, comfortable bed.
01:03:11Well, I'm going down.
01:03:16And I'm going with you.
01:03:18What are you putting that hat on for?
01:03:30I might catch cold in my head.
01:03:32Well, that would be something.
01:03:33I'm going with you.
01:04:34Careful, son.
01:04:43Careful.
01:04:44I think you damaged that vase.
01:04:47It's Voss, Addington.
01:04:48Voss.
01:04:49I looked it up this morning.
01:04:51Well, have it your own way.
01:04:53Come on.
01:05:04Stick your hands up.
01:05:07Gee, you scared me.
01:05:10For a minute, I thought I was a burglar.
01:05:11Keep those hands up.
01:05:13Me too?
01:05:14Yeah, you too.
01:05:16What's the big idea?
01:05:18If you're lucky, you'll read about it in the paper in the morning.
01:05:21We don't take the paper.
01:05:23Do we, Addington?
01:05:24Yeah, shut up.
01:05:25I don't think it's safe here.
01:05:53See if he's got a cigar.
01:06:05I'm smoking too much anyway.
01:06:23Come on.
01:06:23Let's get out of here.
01:06:24I think they got me.
01:06:40Where?
01:06:41Now you'll have to travel on your stomach.
01:06:52They almost got me that time.
01:06:54They must be firing from the basement.
01:06:56Yeah.
01:07:02They're getting closer.
01:07:04Closer?
01:07:04They're right on our heels.
01:07:07Get a rat.
01:07:21Hey.
01:07:21What?
01:07:22I got a great idea.
01:07:23Look.
01:07:23Hey.
01:07:33Say.
01:07:34That was great.
01:07:36Where'd you learn that?
01:07:37I came from Davenport.
01:07:41Hey.
01:07:42What?
01:07:42Get up and reconnoitre.
01:07:44I don't have to.
01:07:46Reconnoitre.
01:07:47Look around.
01:07:48Look around.
01:07:48Oh.
01:07:49Let's go.
01:08:19That's some slice water.
01:08:31You know, I'm glad I stopped that.
01:08:33That is liable to awaken some of our guests.
01:08:36That's right.
01:08:49Come on.
01:08:56Now, did you get Gansley and Boswell?
01:08:58Get them, no.
01:08:59Say they're two of the toughest guys I ever seen.
01:09:01What do you mean?
01:09:02What do I mean?
01:09:02I mean they're down in the lobby with a machine gun.
01:09:05Pumping them off faster than they did in no man's land.
01:09:07Now, listen, Izzy.
01:09:08I'm not going to lose the stuff on the girl on account of those two numbskulls.
01:09:11Now, you go downstairs and don't come back until you've nailed them both.
01:09:14It's not me, Blackie.
01:09:15I'm leaving.
01:09:17Swine.
01:09:22Look at that.
01:09:23I'll get it myself.
01:09:28Mother!
01:09:29What?
01:09:29Young Blackwell has gone downstairs to kill Wilbur.
01:09:32Good.
01:09:33At Addington.
01:09:35Not my Addington.
01:09:36Yes, I heard him say so.
01:09:37I'm going and tell Wilbur.
01:09:38Well, nobody's going to kill my Addington without my telling them a wonder.
01:09:42All we'll do here.
01:09:43How are we going to get over to that safe?
01:10:09We'll take the bus.
01:10:10I wonder where Wilbur is.
01:10:28This is no time to whistle.
01:10:30I know, but I have to save Wilbur.
01:10:32Yes, I know.
01:10:33You've got to stop inviting bullets in this direction.
01:10:36I'm too easy to hit.
01:10:37Come on.
01:10:38Come on.
01:11:08Come on, get on.
01:11:12Hey, where am I going to ride?
01:11:15Take the lower burn.
01:11:16Okay.
01:11:18You set?
01:11:18Wait a minute.
01:11:19Can you run this thing?
01:11:20Certainly.
01:11:21It's a standard shift.
01:11:22Go, go.
01:11:22Good man.
01:11:39Yeah, he's watching things all right.
01:11:43You light a match.
01:11:45I'll work the combination.
01:11:47Hey, I've only got one match.
01:11:50That's not enough.
01:11:50Hey, light it.
01:11:59Now hold it close.
01:12:00Put it right under my nose.
01:12:04What are you so nervous about?
01:12:07Give me that candle.
01:12:10Careful.
01:12:11You want to mess up the floor?
01:12:15What's the matter?
01:12:16I've forgotten the combination.
01:12:18It's 10, 20, 30, 30.
01:12:21Here, I'll open it.
01:12:22Here.
01:12:24And hold it closer.
01:12:27Will you get it?
01:12:28Here.
01:12:29Give me it.
01:12:31Do you want to make yourself sick at your stomach?
01:12:33Give me that.
01:12:38Why, are you crazy?
01:12:39Give me that, you dummy.
01:12:42You want to blow the joint up?
01:12:55Somebody must have turned the gas on.
01:13:01Oh, well, where are you hurt?
01:13:02I never felt better in my life.
01:13:04Addington, how did you have safe?
01:13:06Certainly they're safe.
01:13:07Haven't I been guarding them?
01:13:08Oh.
01:13:10Ah, the electricity's on.
01:13:15Looks like they wiped out a whole crime wave.
01:13:18Pick them up, boys.
01:13:21I'll have to congratulate you fellas.
01:13:23Rewarding these crooks will amount to a fortune.
01:13:25Reward?
01:13:26Yep, they've all got a price on their heads.
01:13:35I caught this here lady running away with this here box.
01:13:39The jewels.
01:13:40Jewels.
01:13:40Jewels.
01:13:41Why, duchess, would you double-cross your old psychic sidekick?
01:13:45Jewels?
01:13:46Ha!
01:13:47It's the detective's lunch.
01:13:50Kick.
01:13:52Here's another one, Sheriff.
01:13:53Just found him under the sofa, and he was still kicking.
01:13:55If I'm not mistaken, you're Buffalo Blackie, the smuggler.
01:13:59And you've been using the basement of this hotel for a storehouse.
01:14:03Basement?
01:14:03I didn't know he had one.
01:14:05Come on.
01:14:07Well, I swan.
01:14:13Can I have Mary now?
01:14:15Toby, Papa.
01:14:17Shall we give our little daughter away?
01:14:19Certainly.
01:14:20We'll get another one.
01:14:25Twelve o'clock, and all's well.
01:14:29Up to within 7th position.
