00:02:23 #1 There is a lethal gas suicide.

00:02:27 #2 And I, deers, have you made arrangements?

00:02:39 #3 No, I do not work underpraying.

00:02:45 #4 I will find a way for me to work without detection.

00:02:51 #5 It is your chance to show me your gratitude for my generosity and protection.

00:03:03 #6 I will never forget what you have done for me.

00:03:07 #7 And will do anything to help you.

00:03:09 #8 But the mark, dead people.

00:03:14 #9 I suppose we should be caught.

00:03:15 #10 Many times have you told me of your impersonations

00:03:27 #11 that you never had a chance.

00:03:31 #12 Maybe your art will serve you after all.

00:03:37 #13 You have seen the corner?

00:03:40 #14 Why not impersonate him? No.

00:03:42 #15 That's it!

00:03:43 #16 Impersonate him!

00:03:45 #17 The time has come when you can repay me for what I have done.

00:03:52 #18 It's harder though, I tell you, working on the debt.

00:03:55 #19 Trying to bring back life. It's not natural.

00:03:59 #20 You with your weird idea.

00:04:02 #21 Haven't I stayed here and heard dying dogs?

00:04:05 #22 Yeah. And even that miserable cat?

00:04:10 #23 And for what? For a measly roof and food.

00:04:13 #24 Because you took me in.

00:04:16 #25 Oh, dumb enough.

00:04:17 #26 Vance Ham, an actor?

00:04:30 #27 Don't forget, my dear Maxwell.

00:04:38 #28 The police would be very glad to find you.

00:04:44 #29 I didn't mean I wouldn't.

00:04:46 #30 Of course not.

00:04:48 #31 In time, you may become a great man.

00:04:56 #32 Isle number 26941.

00:05:57 #33 Maria Alchura, 24, suicide.

00:06:01 #34 Carbon monoxide gas, not cleaned.

00:06:04 #35 Well, stiffs is getting heavier and more rough than every day.

00:07:00 #36 Between the gangsters and the auto drivers, we don't need another war to carry off with population.

00:07:13 #37 You didn't even mention suicides.

00:07:16 #38 You even got the cardinal working overtime.

00:07:20 #39 Say, did you see the butte that come in today?

00:07:32 #40 Did I?

00:07:33 #41 She's the one that has the gardener doing the night work.

00:07:38 #42 Special autopsy?

00:07:52 #43 Must be.

00:07:53 #44 I wonder who that old, tidy clock is.

00:08:09 #45 Out of here, she must have oxygen and lock the side door and back up the clock.

00:08:26 #46 But watch out for the guard and as soon as he's out of the way, we'll take her out of here.

00:08:33 #47 You say the clock's of the old woman's store.

00:08:48 #48 Yes. And the tour has me puzzled. Why, Mike thought I took it.

00:08:53 #49 Well, I just wore it with the card in there himself.

00:08:56 #50 There must have been a very strong resemblance.

00:09:04 #51 Yeah, and he was a dead image of him. And talked like him too.

00:09:08 #52 Oh, you talked to him?

00:09:10 #53 No. No, he was talking to some other old fellow there that looked like candy-closers.

00:09:15 #54 I said to Jake, he had whiskers and bushy hair, and his eyes were wild.

00:09:21 #55 wild must have been some other two flowers.

00:09:25 #56 Could you positively identify if you saw the party?

00:09:29 #57 I wouldn't swear to anything now after being secured in the car.

00:09:34 #58 You know Mike's description is very much like your friend Meyer Schultz.

00:09:40 #59 Tell me uh have you seen him lately?

00:09:43 #60 Well why Dr. Meyer Schultz has really a great research bias.

00:09:49 #61 Why is formulated some amazing medicine for preserving gland extracts in the most potent state?

00:09:55 #62 He's no body snatcher.

00:09:58 #63 Well, doctors and scientists often have some queer things in their minds.

00:10:03 #64 Anyway, uh, I'll look into it.

00:10:06 #65 Sweetie Jones, I wouldn't like to offend the doctor.

00:10:10 #66 Don't worry.

00:10:13 #67 I'll do nothing to embarrass you.

00:10:14 #68 Thank you.

00:10:15 #69 Captain, what do I do about this?

00:10:30 #70 Collins, see if you have anything there on Don Maxwell.

00:10:36 #71 Last heard from in this city.

00:10:41 #72 Impersonations, Vaudeville.

00:10:43 #73 Yeah, okay Cap. Let's see what they got in their files on Don Maxwell.

00:10:56 #74 24 hours complete rest. She will recover.

00:11:00 #75 Back in the body that's sort of oblivious.

00:11:25 #76 Uncanny.

00:11:27 #77 The possibility is terrifying.

00:11:29 #78 Word out.

00:11:40 #79 This is but us. This is like this, as the element of doubt.

00:11:48 #80 What I want is a victim with a shattered heart.

00:11:54 #81 Yes, a heart that I can replace with this beating thing I have forced life back into.

00:12:05 #82 Ha ha.

00:12:09 #83 Will gut me such a victim as well.

00:12:12 #84 It will be my supreme accomplishment.

00:12:17 #85 Ha ha.

00:12:22 #86 Not from the morgue.

00:12:26 #87 They'll get the spits.

00:12:27 #88 I don't care where you get it.

00:12:30 #89 From the morgue.

00:12:31 #90 From the sprees.

00:12:33 #91 Stephan demand.

00:12:50 #92 Around the corner.

00:12:52 #93 Not thanks to such a dame.

00:12:53 #94 Why should the unconscious piece of the dead?

00:17:13 #95 Isn't the spark that moves the magnet

00:17:20 #96 the self-same spark that moves the man?

00:17:24 #97 Preserving that spark to an individual is not important.

00:17:29 #98 What we do with the spark, while we have it, is important.

00:17:39 #99 In Maxwell, it lives.

00:17:42 #100 It can hurt me.

00:18:12 #101 Nothing to bring him back.

00:18:15 #102 I shall, please.

00:18:53 #103 He isn't yours.

00:18:56 #104 So very urgent

00:19:01 #105 that Mr. Buckley is having paltively alarming hallucinations.

00:19:06 #106 Why, he thinks he's the orangutan murderer in Poe's murder of the Lume Moor.

00:19:11 #107 Tell the doctor I must have some definite help.

00:19:15 #108 I'll go get him and bring him in.

00:19:21 #109 No. Don't do that.

00:19:52 #110 Meyer's shots would be missed.

00:19:56 #111 Maxwell, never would.

00:19:59 #112 The clean. Do I look like Meyer's shots?

00:21:27 #113 I am Meyer's shots.

00:21:30 #114 I will be a great man!

00:21:33 #115 I'll give him a shot to relieve the nurse that she is.

00:22:25 #116 They help him. We'll try that first.

00:22:28 #117 Take off your coat.

00:22:30 #118 Put it in a lamp.

00:23:19 #119 Not that. That will do no harm.

00:23:38 #120 And I will be rid of them.

00:23:45 #121 And now, you will feel better.

00:24:19 #122 Olympic!

00:24:25 #123 Doctor! He seems to be getting worse instead of better.

00:24:36 #124 Oh, you're my veins!

00:24:49 #125 Why didn't you call the police?

00:26:44 #126 No, not the police, back to life. I wanted to experiment on it.

00:26:51 #127 Shut your ass, sister. Just to experiment on it?

00:27:06 #128 Dr. Mont, I have often heard of your uncanny experiment, but this talks them all.

00:27:42 #129 But I think we speak the same language. Am I right?

00:27:49 #130 Well, I just don't get what you mean, same language.

00:27:54 #131 We have a common interest.

00:27:57 #132 When you bring your assistance back to life, his mind will do as you direct.

00:28:05 #133 You can do the same to Buckley, then he will do you as I direct.

00:28:13 #134 We saw that body.

00:28:39 #135 The police.

00:28:42 #136 If they should come, I must bring them back.

00:28:47 #137 I'll find that formula.

00:28:56 #138 Oh, Harley-Dark, say, a couple of my cats got away.

00:29:13 #139 You seen them anywhere?

00:29:15 #140 Of course not. What would I want with your cats?

00:29:17 #141 Oh, well, I... I didn't know.

00:29:20 #142 I thought maybe, you know, you might use them for, well, some experiments or something.

00:29:26 #143 Me? Cats? Never.

00:29:28 #144 I think too much of Satan to use cats for experiments.

00:29:34 #145 Oh, well, that's what I thought, you know.

00:29:37 #146 Well, no harm, man. Doc, well, go on.

00:29:45 #147 What am I going to do?

00:29:47 #148 Please don't be here any minute. I am not the boy of the body.

00:30:06 #149 No. Let's camera back.

00:30:16 #150 Sure. That's not a queer, I'd say.

00:33:59 #151 There's lots of queer goings on up there.

00:34:01 #152 Why, they even brought a dead dog back to life once.

00:34:04 #153 even brought a dead dog back to life once.

00:34:06 #154 Well that sounds very remarkable to me.

00:34:08 #155 It may be, but to my notion, those that monkeys with what they got no business to

00:34:13 #156 get queer sooner or later.

00:34:14 #157 Maybe you're right.

00:34:15 #158 I know I am.

00:34:17 #159 Well I even heard a shot up there last night.

00:34:19 #160 Why didn't you notify the police?

00:34:21 #161 That's their business, not mine.

00:34:37 #162 I understand for your neighbors that your cats are making noise at night.

00:34:44 #163 Dr. Marsh, you'll just complain.

00:34:46 #164 Yes, but he's been stealing my cats for his experiments.

00:34:50 #165 I know, I've been spying on them.

00:34:52 #166 How many cats are there? What's the matter, rats?

00:34:54 #167 Oh, thousands of them.

00:34:56 #168 Right here in my backyard. Thousands?

00:34:59 #169 Yeah, I've got a thousand cats, too. Wanna see them?

00:35:02 #170 What's the idea, you sell them?

00:35:04 #171 Oh, no.

00:35:06 #172 It's my own idea.

00:35:09 #173 I'm in the business.

00:35:17 #174 Spur business.

00:35:19 #175 Well, I see cats first.

00:35:22 #176 Don't get it quick.

00:35:24 #177 What do the rats come in?

00:35:26 #178 Ah, you ain't as quick as I thought.

00:35:30 #179 Look, you see, I figured out that rats breed faster than cats.

00:35:39 #180 And cat skins makes good fur.

00:35:42 #181 Cats eat rats.

00:35:45 #182 And rats eat raw meat.

00:35:47 #183 That is, they eat the carcasses of the cat.

00:35:51 #184 So the rats eat the cats.

00:35:54 #185 The cats eat the rat, and I get the skin.

00:36:00 #186 Well, rats eat the cats.

00:36:01 #187 Well, that is news.

00:36:03 #188 Stump, Valenette.

00:36:04 #189 Say, by the way, did you hear a shot last night?

00:36:08 #190 Maybe.

00:36:09 #191 I don't know.

00:36:10 #192 Hey, Maisie, we know you're high-poiled.

00:36:35 #193 You don't have to stay in the water 30 minutes to prove it.

00:36:38 #194 Oh, well, let me alone.

00:36:39 #195 I may not be decent, but I'm sure going to be clean.

00:36:42 #196 Hey, if anyone is entitled to the first place in that bathroom,

00:36:46 #197 it should be me.

00:36:48 #198 Didn't I find a register and welcome you all as secret guests?

00:36:55 #199 If it wasn't for Nervy Little Alice, you'd all be thinking you're weary bones

00:36:58 #200 into the soft recesses of some parked bench

00:37:01 #201 with light, fleecy coverlets made by the great American press.

00:37:07 #202 Press? That's pressing this?

00:37:29 #203 That's what a book. Sandwich Man's pounding payments.

00:37:31 #204 Walks out to a wallet with forty-two grand in it.

00:37:35 #205 I'd like to find that man.

00:37:37 #206 Maybe we could sandwich him in.

00:37:39 #207 Can you imagine the darn pool turns it in?

00:37:41 #208 He said it must be a jelly bean instead of what they thought it was.

00:37:46 #209 Well, it sure was soft alright, but would it be soft to land on 42 grand?

00:37:52 #210 Yeah, but listen, after he turned it in, people made such a fuss over him that he went nutty.

00:37:56 #211 Thought he was the almighty in person.

00:37:58 #212 So that's what being honest gets you.

00:38:01 #213 A nice soft padded cell in the bughouse.

00:38:03 #214 A cook a rat, a cock a roach, a don-a-da-da-da-da-da-da.

00:38:09 #215 It's pretty tough.

00:38:10 #216 Imagine the poor guy. I'll bet nobody noticed him all his life.

00:38:14 #217 And then, say, wasn't there some guy in history that spent all his life looking for an honest man?

00:38:21 #218 Sure. In his day, men were men. But today, they're too scared to be anything but honest.

00:38:28 #219 Yeah, but a brave guy can sure get away with plenty.

00:38:33 #220 Say, you must have been reading the papers, or maybe you've been drinking crazy water in your head secretly.

00:38:39 #221 Be yourself, Alice.

00:38:41 #222 Play the heavy heavy.

00:38:42 #223 Don't suit you.

00:38:43 #224 Oh, get me down.

00:38:45 #225 Always broken, never a break.

00:38:48 #226 Why don't you bitch that ham?

00:38:50 #227 Pick yourself a rich husband.

00:38:52 #228 Rich husband?

00:38:53 #229 I've heard they come that way.

00:38:55 #230 Not very often.

00:38:57 #231 Often enough, but not our way.

00:38:59 #232 Oh, the girl has brains.

00:39:01 #233 You don't have to put a zipper on it

00:39:02 #234 to go to the proof it either.

00:39:03 #235 Alice! Listen to this.

00:39:06 #236 Down back's where personality impersonator

00:39:08 #237 gets lucky brave. Why that's your husband ain't it?

00:39:11 #238 Pipe down will you? Let her read it.

00:39:14 #239 By queer clerk of faith actor falls heir to Australian estate.

00:39:18 #240 This paper is trying to find you.

00:39:20 #241 Used to be around in both build days but we haven't heard much of him lately.

00:39:24 #242 The lucky half.

00:39:26 #243 So now on you'll have the company of a good aide.

00:39:29 #244 We have wondered ever seen them.

00:39:31 #245 I wonder if he's still with that goofy professor.

00:39:40 #246 He's inherited a fortune.

00:39:43 #247 You say a fortune?

00:39:46 #248 He never spoke to me of any rich relatives.

00:39:48 #249 He hardly knew of them himself.

00:39:51 #250 I believe it was his uncle in Australia.

00:39:54 #251 I am certainly glad to hear that.

00:39:57 #252 I'm sure he'll be pleased.

00:39:59 #253 Oh, but don't tell him.

00:40:01 #254 You see, I want to tell him the news first.

00:40:05 #255 Oh, that's only natural.

00:40:07 #256 Mrs. Maxwell, your husband will be here

00:40:10 #257 at eight tonight.

00:40:12 #258 Her eyes?

00:41:41 #259 It was in Meyer Schultz's eyes when he wanted to murder me.

00:41:48 #260 It was in Mrs. Buckley's eyes when she wanted

00:41:51 #261 to murder her husband.

00:41:53 #262 Alice had to gleam in her eye when she wanted to find me.

00:42:00 #263 She'd murder me.

00:42:03 #264 That's what she wants to do.

00:42:06 #265 Get rid of her.

00:42:13 #266 Mrs. Buckley, she will help.

00:42:19 #267 She must help.

00:42:24 #268 Oh, we are lost.

00:42:25 #269 You are right. Before I can get him back here, you will have to help me.

00:42:34 #270 Mrs. Maxwell is crazy and will be here any minute.

00:42:38 #271 She thinks that I murdered her husband.

00:42:41 #272 And wants to turn me over to the police.

00:42:44 #273 We must keep a subdued till I can get Buckley.

00:42:47 #274 Down in the basement is a secret vault.

00:42:54 #275 We will put her down there.

00:42:57 #276 You quiet her by jabbing this in her arm.

00:43:02 #277 And in the meantime, I will go get Buckley.

00:43:06 #278 It sounds all right, except the fact she's crazy.

00:43:12 #279 Seems to me she has the right idea.

00:43:17 #280 So you feel that way too?

00:43:20 #281 Stay in there, I've called you I need it.

00:43:25 #282 At last I've really secured everything for us.

00:43:34 #283 We can travel or anything we want.

00:43:36 #284 Then you knew of the inheritance?

00:43:39 #285 Sure. I've one little job to accomplish,

00:43:42 #286 and then we can leave together.

00:43:44 #287 No doubt you were surprised at this disguise.

00:43:46 #288 Oh no.

00:43:48 #289 I wouldn't be surprised at anything from you.

00:43:51 #290 No honey.

00:43:52 #291 You were here in time to help me.

00:43:53 #292 I knew there was a catch in this someplace.

00:43:57 #293 But Billet.

00:44:00 #294 In the other room, I have a crazy woman I've been treating.

00:44:04 #295 Ha ha!

00:44:06 #296 So you've been treating.

00:44:07 #297 Quiet will you?

00:44:08 #298 I'm serious.

00:44:10 #299 Our lives are in danger.

00:44:12 #300 What do you mean? Are?

00:44:14 #301 That's what I said.

00:44:15 #302 Now listen to me. I want you to help me take this woman downstairs.

00:44:22 #303 I'll give her a shot. Then you take care of her till I get help.

00:44:28 #304 Well, how about me getting the help quiet now? Isn't she?

00:44:37 #305 Yes, but she'll break out any minute. She's not afraid of a woman.

00:44:43 #306 So she happens to get wild. Just shove this into her arm.

00:44:46 #307 I'll keep it hidden.

00:44:48 #308 And all will be well.

00:44:50 #309 All right, Mrs. Buckley.

00:45:04 #310 We will go downstairs now.

00:45:06 #311 I have a special treatment room there.

00:45:09 #312 Please, and take everyone in a down-to-head quarter for questioning.

00:47:21 #313 What is that?

00:47:27 #314 Nothing. A couple of my patients having a little argument.

00:47:31 #315 Take me down there.

00:47:33 #316 I want to only go.

00:47:35 #317 There are a couple of what mean words that are spying it out.

00:47:38 #318 Man, you're crazy. What kind of a place is this?

00:47:40 #319 Oh, I knew something!

00:47:45 #320 I know you're tired.

00:47:49 #321 Fair this wall down.

00:48:23 #322 Murderous Satan.

00:48:25 #323 The rest of it might as well fire.

00:48:27 #324 Your lives are clean.

00:48:30 #325 To me too, what I tell you,

00:49:54 #326 they drove me with hunger,

00:49:56 #327 with misery and humiliation.

00:49:58 #328 I only wanted to earn you news,
