00:06:57 #13 Oh, Lord of War, leaving for the country to give the police a rest.

00:07:01 #14 Get Detective Anderson. We'll get this batch.

00:07:04 #15 I tell you, boys, no cheap crook is gonna make a sucker out of me and get away with it.

00:10:19 #16 And I saw a gleam in eye.

00:10:24 #17 Rubbish. I've taken this house for the summer and I intend to stay.

00:10:27 #18 Well then you can stay in it alone.

00:10:29 #19 Why do you suppose the servants left?

00:10:32 #20 I don't think the house maid ever had a pain in her side,

00:10:35 #21 and I don't think the cook ever had a sister.

00:10:38 #22 My sister didn't have twins.

00:10:39 #23 They were just scared stiff, and they ran away.

00:10:47 #24 You're a fool.

00:10:48 #25 Keep quiet.

00:10:49 #26 I won't keep quiet.

00:10:51 #27 I've worked for you for 20 years,

00:10:52 #28 and I guess I have a right to speak my mind.

00:10:54 #29 You haven't got a mind.

00:10:56 #30 Had one, you wouldn't have me use it.

00:11:04 #31 Not by you, when you was a theosophist

00:11:06 #32 and a separate jettist.

00:11:08 #33 And I've seen you through socialism,

00:11:11 #34 through lecherism, and rheumatism.

00:11:13 #35 But when it comes to spookism, I am through.

00:11:16 #36 Shut up!

00:11:46 #37 Nonsense. You're seeing things.

00:11:50 #38 Don't I know it?

00:11:51 #39 Well, the next time you see anything, tell me and scream afterwards.

00:11:55 #40 Scream first. You won't wait. Get the Ouija board.

00:12:17 #41 There with the Bible on it to keep it quiet.

00:12:19 #42 Get it?

00:12:20 #43 I've asked them to go up there all alone, are you?

00:12:43 #44 Keep your mind a blank.

00:12:45 #45 You said I didn't have a mind.

00:12:47 #46 Well, keep what you have got a blank.

00:12:49 #47 What have I ever said to you?

00:12:57 #48 Quiet.

00:12:59 #49 Lizzie Allen writes about this house.

00:13:03 #50 What is she wrong, as usual?

00:13:31 #51 Russian.

00:13:36 #52 B... A...

00:13:39 #53 The paper said he's in the country.

00:13:51 #54 Oh, but some foreign country?

00:13:55 #55 I'm going to find out.

00:14:56 #56 Dad, I sleep with you tonight.

00:14:58 #57 You know, it's only when my jaw drops would I snore?

00:15:02 #58 I can tie it up with a handkerchief.

00:15:04 #59 Well, tie it up now.

00:15:07 #60 What's that leather doing you the laundry shoes?

00:15:09 #61 I don't know. Maybe that caretaker put a fire.

00:15:17 #62 Careful, careful.

00:15:22 #63 Oh, no, ain't I careful?

00:15:24 #64 Don't like that caretaker.

00:15:39 #65 I wouldn't have him.

00:15:40 #66 Only he worked for the Fleming's and came with a lease.

00:15:42 #67 See if the bats can make potlip Fleming,

00:16:40 #68 the bank's president is traveling in Europe

00:16:42 #69 and has not been reached.

00:16:44 #70 The police are spreading their dragnet

00:16:46 #71 and an effort to locate Young Bailey the cashier.

00:16:50 #72 Now what on earth are you doing?

00:16:52 #73 I'm setting a bear trap for the bath if he ever comes flying around here.

00:17:03 #74 I've got the other end facing to the bed.

00:17:07 #75 Miss Neely, have me a look at the paper.

00:17:12 #76 Put on your glasses.

00:17:15 #77 I don't need no glasses.

00:17:17 #78 My eyes are all right.

00:17:19 #79 Hermes ain't long enough.

00:17:27 #80 Now, do you see?

00:17:29 #81 Detective Anderson says that nobody's ever seen the bath.

00:17:32 #82 He might be a merchant, lawyer, doctor, or even a trusted servant.

00:17:37 #83 Who did that?

00:17:58 #84 I don't know.

00:18:00 #85 This house gets on my nerves.

00:18:02 #86 Won't let me sleep.

00:18:03 #87 Don't trust him.

00:18:04 #88 Caretaker means servant.

00:18:06 #89 Pat!

00:18:07 #90 Who won't let you sleep?

00:18:08 #91 Ghost.

00:18:09 #92 He's here again.

00:18:16 #93 He opens windows when I'm looking.

00:18:18 #94 And I can't see anything.

00:18:20 #95 He slams doors.

00:18:21 #96 And there's no one there to slam them.

00:18:24 #97 He rolls things down the stairs.

00:18:27 #98 And there's no one there to make him rule.

00:18:30 #99 That ain't all.

00:18:31 #100 He whistlers to me from behind the wall.

00:18:34 #101 He's here again.

00:18:42 #102 Stay here long enough, and you'll see.

00:18:45 #103 We will not go back.

00:18:48 #104 I won't be frightened.

00:18:49 #105 I'm going to get at the bottom of this.

00:18:51 #106 Besides, I sent for detectives.

00:18:53 #107 Detectives won't do you no good.

00:19:00 #108 The whole police force won't do no good.

00:19:03 #109 They can't stop ghosts.

00:19:05 #110 Heh.

00:19:10 #111 Nobody can stop ghosts.

00:19:12 #112 Did you hear what?

00:19:15 #113 He comes after me.

00:19:25 #114 I'm going to get it.

00:19:26 #115 Can't see a thing.

00:19:40 #116 You don't think anybody will suspect?

00:20:03 #117 Oh, they don't know you.

00:20:08 #118 Now hurry, we've got so much to do.

00:20:39 #119 Fixing the electric light wire.

00:20:42 #120 Something's coming up.

00:20:43 #121 I can see an increase in all over me.

00:20:54 #122 It's your liver.

00:20:56 #123 Take a pill and go to bed.

00:20:58 #124 I won't go to bed.

00:21:00 #125 I'm going to stay right here with you. Sorry, Auntie.

00:21:10 #126 The train was late.

00:21:12 #127 But young Mr. Fleming was kind enough to drive me over

00:21:14 #128 from the station in his car.

00:21:16 #129 I think the less you have to do with that spin-thrift nephew of Fleming's,

00:21:18 #130 the better it'll be for you.

00:21:20 #131 Oh, but why, Andy?

00:21:22 #132 I don't like him. He leaves this house to me.

00:21:25 #133 The man wants to see you. Says his name is Brooke.

00:21:55 #134 He's a gardener. Looks funny to me.

00:21:58 #135 I meant to tell you, I engaged him for you at the agency today.

00:22:08 #136 Well, what you standing there for? Show him in.

00:22:12 #137 In here?

00:22:13 #138 Of course.

00:22:17 #139 I'm sure you'll find his references very satisfactory.

00:22:20 #140 He was three years in his last place.

00:22:23 #141 You're a professional gardener.

00:22:34 #142 Yes, ma'am.

00:22:37 #143 Do anything about perennials?

00:22:44 #144 Yes.

00:22:45 #145 They're the ones that hold their leaves in the winter.

00:22:48 #146 Had any experience with rubiola?

00:22:54 #147 Yes.

00:22:56 #148 And alopecia?

00:23:02 #149 Yes, but they dry up if you don't water them.

00:23:10 #150 And what is your treatment for you to carry?

00:23:13 #151 Oh, I... I've finished.

00:23:17 #152 You must show him to his room in the right upper wing.

00:23:21 #153 You mean next to mine?

00:23:22 #154 No, in the right upper wing.

00:23:38 #155 You know young Bailey, the missing cashier of the bank?

00:23:43 #156 Why, yes.

00:23:47 #157 That new gardener, I don't like his looks.

00:23:56 #158 Supposing he's the bad.

00:23:57 #159 Well, I know he is not a gardener.

00:24:00 #160 Huh?

00:24:01 #161 Because Uticaria is hives, Rubiola is measles,

00:24:06 #162 and Alopecia is baldness.

00:24:09 #163 And knowing all this, you're going to let him stay in this house?

00:24:12 #164 Yes.

00:24:13 #165 Until I find out why my niece brought him here.

00:24:16 #166 You're like all the rest of the women.

00:24:18 #167 A good-looking fella comes in the door,

00:24:20 #168 and your brains fly out the window.

00:24:35 #169 Wally, get out of this house while there is yet time.

00:24:39 #170 Disaster awaits all who remain here.

00:24:43 #171 I am leaving now.

00:24:57 #172 Dr. Van Ristice here.

00:24:59 #173 Doctor? Lawyer?

00:25:01 #174 Merchant?

00:25:01 #175 Doctor?

00:25:02 #176 Perhaps?

00:25:08 #177 Sorry to trouble you, Miss Van Gora,

00:25:10 #178 but circumstances surrounding the bank robber in Oakdale

00:25:15 #179 made an imperative.

00:25:17 #180 Who do you think robbed the bank?

00:25:18 #181 The cashier, a young chap named Bailey.

00:25:22 #182 Got away with a cool half million and all in cash too.

00:25:26 #183 Mr. Fleming, the bank's president, is on his way back from Europe.

00:25:29 #184 Yes.

00:25:31 #185 It's an account of his unexpected return that I called.

00:25:35 #186 Now, Miss Van Gorder, it's only natural

00:25:38 #187 that he would expect you to arrange to vacate the house.

00:25:44 #188 Well, he's not the only one interested in my vacating

00:25:46 #189 this property, Doctor.

00:25:47 #190 What do you mean?

00:25:49 #191 Read that.

00:25:51 #192 It was thrown through that window just before you came in.

00:26:05 #193 You might fossen that window.

00:26:06 #194 That's the second warning I've had.

00:26:15 #195 Of course. Then you decided to...

00:26:17 #196 Exactly. To remain right here.

00:26:20 #197 I don't intend to leave until I've learned the meaning of all this.

00:26:23 #198 What big of a pardon. I thought I did.

00:26:37 #199 Here. The man by the name of Amish wants to see you.

00:26:46 #200 You'll pardon me, doctor?

00:26:48 #201 Certainly. Grant is a very determined woman.

00:26:56 #202 You sit down.

00:27:03 #203 Thank you.

00:27:04 #204 The reason you answered my call so promptly

00:27:12 #205 was because I hinted that the bat might be connected

00:27:14 #206 mysterious happenings in this house exactly well I'm not sure that he is however I'll

00:27:22 #207 tell you everything so you can draw your own conclusions splendid you should

00:27:29 #208 persuade your aunt to leave the house it's too isolated two miles from the

00:27:39 #209 next village enough shrubbery around the ground to hide a dozen assassins oh but

00:27:46 #210 Doctor, what enemies could my aunt have?

00:27:50 #211 There seems to be no matches.

00:27:51 #212 I'll get you some.

00:27:56 #213 Very kind. Sorry to have troubled you.

00:28:23 #214 But tobacco is something every doctor forbids his patient,

00:28:27 #215 but prescribes it for himself.

00:28:32 #216 By the way, is your aunt a revolver?

00:28:37 #217 Why, yes.

00:28:44 #218 It's late. Be sure to telephone if something happens.

00:28:56 #219 Because something serious is liable to happen in this house at any time.

00:29:04 #220 Good night.

00:29:16 #221 10-15, the work time.

00:29:18 #222 I say.

00:29:20 #223 Do you think he leased this house to you without his uncle's consent?

00:29:23 #224 Yes.

00:29:24 #225 To get the rent money, to gamble with.

00:29:26 #226 And now you think he's trying to frighten you out before his uncle's return?

00:29:33 #227 Is that it?

00:29:37 #228 How do you know courtly Fleming's in Europe?

00:29:41 #229 There isn't the paper.

00:29:42 #230 You shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers, dear, Lady.

00:29:49 #231 But Dr. Ben Reese said he had a cablegram problem.

00:29:52 #232 Did, um... did you see it?

00:29:57 #233 No.

00:30:00 #234 I thought so.

00:30:04 #235 I'm going to find out who's trying to frighten you out of this house, Miss Van Corder.

00:30:08 #236 What are those stairs lead to?

00:30:13 #237 Today. Is that you, Lizzie?

00:30:19 #238 They heard you pounding.

00:30:44 #239 It doesn't sound hollow here.

00:30:48 #240 Brooke, when did you hear courtly Fleming arrange with the architect for a secret room?

00:30:54 #241 They were talking in the office last summer.

00:30:56 #242 But when I came in, Mr. Fleming stopped.

00:30:58 #243 Well then, then if there really is such a room,

00:31:01 #244 it must be in the new plan.

00:31:03 #245 Or if we could only find those plans.

00:31:06 #246 Dale, you're doing an awful lot for me.

00:31:09 #247 Well, you know why.

00:31:11 #248 You bet.

00:31:12 #249 Oh, not now. I've got an idea.

00:31:15 #250 Do you think there's a possibility of the bats being concerned in this?

00:31:30 #251 The bats' lie will be concerned in anything

00:31:34 #252 where there's half a million dollars at stake.

00:31:36 #253 Hey, wait a moment. Wait a moment.

00:31:43 #254 Come here. I want to talk to you.

00:31:48 #255 Would you mind telling me your name?

00:31:51 #256 No, I wouldn't mind.

00:31:53 #257 Well, what is it?

00:31:56 #258 Lizzie Allen.

00:31:59 #259 Lizzie Allen. Splendid.

00:32:03 #260 Do you like it?

00:32:04 #261 And your age?

00:32:08 #262 She's 42.

00:32:21 #263 Well, I ain't the only one in this house that's over 40.

00:32:26 #264 That will do.

00:32:27 #265 I think our rest for a while.

00:32:28 #266 Quite all right.

00:32:30 #267 I've got plenty of work to do.

00:32:31 #268 The caretaker will show you to your room.

00:32:32 #269 He's the only servant we have at present.

00:32:33 #270 He wouldn't say if he wasn't crazy.

00:32:34 #271 So what do we do?

00:32:35 #272 Hello, country club.

00:32:36 #273 It's Mr. Dick Fleming there.

00:32:41 #274 Hello, Mr. Fleming.

00:32:42 #275 This is Dale Van Gorder speaking.

00:32:43 #276 Could you come over here?

00:32:44 #277 It's very important.

00:32:48 #278 The bank's money.

00:33:42 #279 Very important. The bank's money.

00:33:45 #280 Yes.

00:33:47 #281 Thank you.

00:35:54 #282 I've been using the passkey several times, so I don't have to use it.

00:35:57 #283 Your call seemed urgent. What's wrong?

00:35:59 #284 The money, stolen from the bank.

00:36:01 #285 I think it's in this house.

00:36:03 #286 What do you think?

00:36:15 #287 I'll talk to you.

00:37:24 #288 A hidden room would show on the blueprint.

00:37:26 #289 That's what I thought.

00:37:32 #290 You might look at the old chest in the dining room.

00:37:34 #291 My uncle used to keep the blueprint there.

00:37:41 #292 You'd help us?

00:38:22 #293 What if I have?

00:38:23 #294 The money is here. Do you think I'm full enough to turn it over to you?

00:38:26 #295 But it belongs to the bank. I only want to return it.

00:38:30 #296 Why, should you be so anxious to return it?

00:38:32 #297 Because I want to clear Brook. I'm engaged to him.

00:38:36 #298 And even my aunt mustn't know that until we can find the stolen money.

00:38:39 #299 Won't you help her?

00:38:41 #300 How do I know you're telling the truth?

00:38:43 #301 Well, if you don't trust me, there's a detective upstairs.

00:38:46 #302 Give him the plans and let's search together.

00:38:48 #303 A detective? What's a detective doing here?

00:38:50 #304 People have been trying to break in.

00:38:51 #305 What people?

00:38:52 #306 I don't know.

00:38:53 #307 Then the money is here.

00:38:54 #308 What are you going to do?

00:38:55 #309 I'm going to find that hidden room and I do need the help of any detective.

00:38:59 #310 This is my uncle's house and everything in it belongs to him.

00:39:01 #311 If you leave this room with that blue print, I'll scream.

00:39:04 #312 And if you do, I'll tell them the new gardener is Brooke Bailey,

00:39:07 #313 the missing cashier at the Oakdale Bank.

00:39:10 #314 What do you mean by somebody?

00:39:53 #315 Did you see anybody?

00:39:54 #316 Who are you?

00:40:01 #317 The gardener.

00:40:02 #318 The gardener, eh?

00:40:05 #319 One shot fired.

00:40:06 #320 I fired that shot myself last night.

00:40:08 #321 Blended.

00:40:11 #322 Stop thinking, Miss Van Gorder.

00:40:14 #323 But I'm afraid I'll have to arrest your niece.

00:40:16 #324 You can't do that until after the coroner's verdict.

00:40:19 #325 And you'll have to wait for Dr. Van Niesch for that.

00:40:21 #326 I see.

00:40:22 #327 Let me tell you something, Miss Van Gorder.

00:40:24 #328 When I find it necessary to make an arrest, I'll make it.

00:40:28 #329 And I'll not wait for any coroner's verdict.

00:40:31 #330 Now I'll tell you what to do.

00:40:33 #331 Take your niece over to that chair and say nothing to her.

00:40:36 #332 I'll do the talking.

00:40:37 #333 What became of the rest of this?

00:40:56 #334 I don't know.

00:41:00 #335 Where's the torn piece?

00:41:02 #336 I don't know.

00:41:03 #337 Don't lie to me.

00:41:05 #338 That torn piece showed the hidden room.

00:41:07 #339 And you shot young Fleming to get it.

00:41:09 #340 Oh, I didn't.

00:41:10 #341 No?

00:41:11 #342 Then, my dear young lady, how does it happen that the nephew of the president of the Oakdale Bank

00:41:15 #343 was killed in his uncle's house the night after the bank was robbed?

00:41:19 #344 And the only person present at his murder was the girl who's engaged to the Runaway cashier.

00:41:23 #345 Engaged? That's true, David.

00:41:24 #346 I'll say it's true.

00:41:25 #347 Yes.

00:41:26 #348 Did you locate the hidden room on this piece before it was torn?

00:41:29 #349 No.

00:41:30 #350 In Flaming located?

00:41:31 #351 I don't know, I can't...

00:41:32 #352 Are you listening to me?

00:41:47 #353 Anybody home here?

00:41:48 #354 Who's long that?

00:42:11 #355 Say, what kind of a joint is this?

00:42:15 #356 Who are you?

00:42:17 #357 Who am I?

00:42:18 #358 Who do you think I am?

00:42:20 #359 W.T. Jones, Super Sloth of Oakdale County.

00:42:24 #360 Who are you?

00:42:26 #361 Did, uh, did you hire this fellow?

00:42:29 #362 Yes, but over the telephone from the Judkin's detective agency.

00:42:33 #363 Oh.

00:42:35 #364 I'm in charge here.

00:42:37 #365 Lieutenant Detective Anderson of the city police.

00:42:40 #366 Did you look around outside?

00:42:42 #367 Did I?

00:42:43 #368 That's what I was doing when somebody

00:42:45 #369 sucked me with that piano.

00:42:48 #370 Dick Fleming.

00:42:49 #371 Who killed him?

00:42:50 #372 That's exactly the reason I sent for you.

00:42:53 #373 I got you.

00:42:54 #374 Yes, give me time, lady.

00:42:57 #375 I ain't no cheap gum-shore.

00:42:59 #376 Detecting crime with me is a work of art.

00:43:06 #377 The garage room.

00:43:07 #378 That's strange.

00:43:09 #379 There can't be anybody there. Just a moment.

00:43:11 #380 I'll answer that.

00:43:12 #381 Somebody calling for help in the garage. Hello?

00:43:20 #382 They bring off.

00:43:25 #383 I'll see who it is.

00:43:26 #384 What's wrong with you?

00:43:59 #385 Do you hear that?

00:44:13 #386 It's coming from behind that wall. Stop it.

00:44:17 #387 Auntie, that painting moved.

00:44:22 #388 Is somebody looking at us? Where?

00:44:28 #389 I don't know.

00:44:29 #390 I can't see.

00:44:35 #391 Out of this house suffer terrible consequences.

00:44:42 #392 Look, Andy, the picture's moving back into place again.

00:44:46 #393 Can't budget.

00:45:20 #394 I thought so.

00:45:21 #395 Hello.

00:45:26 #396 What's everything in that door there?

00:45:35 #397 Miss Millie, I'm ain't gonna answer it.

00:45:37 #398 Yes, she is.

00:45:40 #399 Well, everybody harrowing bells ringing

00:45:42 #400 and detective can't do nothing.

00:45:49 #401 Now, what means that do that?

00:45:54 #402 Doctor, then, please.

00:45:56 #403 Pardon my coming back.

00:45:58 #404 But I must have left my cigarette case.

00:46:02 #405 So glad you returned, doctor.

00:46:04 #406 A terrible thing has happened.

00:46:08 #407 Young Fleming has been murdered. Murdered?

00:46:11 #408 Yes, murdered.

00:46:22 #409 My niece will tell you everything.

00:46:24 #410 I was standing at the foot of the stairs

00:46:33 #411 when young Mr. Fleming started out.

00:46:35 #412 What stairs?

00:46:37 #413 The stairs in the living room.

00:46:39 #414 Why did young Fleming come here?

00:46:41 #415 I sent for him.

00:46:43 #416 Why did you send for him?

00:46:51 #417 You say you tore a piece of blueprint out of his hand?

00:46:55 #418 Yes.

00:46:56 #419 What happened?

00:46:58 #420 I was afraid to keep it, so I hid it in one of the holes on the tray that Lizzie took to the dining room.

00:47:06 #421 I see.

00:47:07 #422 Can I have something to cover the body?

00:47:10 #423 Yes, please.

00:47:21 #424 Thanks.

00:47:23 #425 Gosh!

00:47:24 #426 I'd like to get a headlock on the guy that pulled that painting stunt.

00:47:29 #427 You needn't be disturbed because the detective suspects your niece.

00:47:37 #428 Your niece, I'll take care of that.

00:47:41 #429 Now, may I go in the next room and write my report

00:47:44 #430 about young Fleming's death?

00:47:45 #431 I'll fetch you some writing material.

00:47:46 #432 Don't trouble me.

00:47:47 #433 May I close the door?

00:47:55 #434 Of course.

00:48:28 #435 Pardon me, won't you?

00:48:31 #436 May I inquire just who you are?

00:48:34 #437 I'm Dr. Van Ries.

00:48:36 #438 Oh, yes, yes, of course.

00:48:39 #439 Mrs. Van Corder explained about you.

00:50:07 #454 I wonder if you happen to be very well acquainted

00:50:09 #455 with Courtly Fleming, who's supposed to be abroad.

00:50:12 #456 Huh?

00:50:15 #457 You needn't answer that question if it embarrasses you, doctor.

00:50:20 #458 I don't know what you're driving at, but there is a limit.

00:50:24 #459 Let that limit stop or it interferes with my work.

00:50:26 #460 What do you mean?

00:50:27 #461 You heard what I said.

00:50:33 #464 trying to locate that hidden room.

00:52:28 #473 Hey!

00:52:29 #474 What is it?

00:52:30 #475 Where is it?

00:52:31 #476 I'm scalded.

00:52:34 #478 I couldn't stand.

00:52:36 #479 No, I can't sit.

00:52:38 #480 Oh, Doctor.

00:52:40 #481 You haven't seen Detective Anderson, have you?

00:52:43 #482 Why?

00:52:49 #484 Hasn't returned.

00:52:50 #485 Oh, suppose I go and look for them.

00:52:52 #486 Oh, thank you.

00:52:53 #487 There you are. Look straight ahead.

00:53:18 #488 Get those people out of this house or I'll burn you alive.

00:53:22 #489 Don't turn around till you've counted ten.

00:53:25 #490 Start counting now. Now go!

00:53:31 #491 What is it?

00:53:53 #492 It's the law speaking.

00:54:04 #493 Reach for the signal.

00:54:06 #494 Oh, he's ill. Get some water.

00:54:13 #495 Don't wait! Don't go near him!

00:54:15 #496 Wait! Wait, go ahead.

00:54:17 #497 Ain't got nothing.

00:54:23 #498 Get a pillow.

00:54:25 #499 Who are you?

00:54:27 #500 Here, I drink this.

00:54:32 #501 Forget the whiskey.

00:54:51 #502 You mean to tell me that you got booze in the house?

00:54:57 #503 Yes, for emergency.

00:54:59 #504 That's the reason everybody's trying to bust in here.

00:55:01 #505 Watch out, I know him!

00:55:11 #506 He's coming!

00:55:12 #507 He's coming after us all!

00:55:14 #508 The ghost!

00:55:17 #509 He said if it didn't get you all out of here,

00:55:20 #510 he would find me to a crisp.

00:55:22 #511 What does this ghost look like?

00:55:24 #512 Awful! He was all in white.

00:55:26 #513 Only he didn't have any face.

00:55:28 #514 You mean to wore a mask?

00:55:29 #515 The door!

00:55:30 #516 Not at me!

00:55:46 #517 I quit, and I'm going to get out of here.

00:55:49 #518 How?

00:55:50 #519 Quite again.

00:55:51 #520 What?

00:56:23 #521 Somebody trying to get in.

00:56:37 #522 It's the ghost.

00:56:39 #523 Dale, I just saw a bank of Fleming on the roof.

00:56:46 #524 Did you hear that gardener call her, Dale?

00:56:49 #525 The gardener, nothing.

00:56:51 #526 He's the missing cashier of the open-deal bank.

00:56:53 #527 And I hear by a rest of her murder, robbery,

00:56:56 #528 and everything else that's wrong around here.

00:56:58 #529 Oh, the native gardener, so we might look for the hidden room

00:57:06 #530 and find the stolen money.

00:57:07 #531 I'm sure it's hidden in this house.

00:57:09 #532 Rot! Who would hide money in this house?

00:57:11 #533 Banker Fleming.

00:57:12 #534 What?

00:57:13 #535 He's in Europe.

00:57:15 #536 Brooke had to disappear to avoid arrest.

00:57:17 #537 There was evidence framed against him.

00:57:19 #538 Oh, we didn't want it to see if you...

00:57:21 #539 You didn't.

00:57:23 #540 Gardeners don't have manicured fingernails.

00:57:26 #541 Henderson comes, send him up to the attic.

00:58:41 #542 Oh, you're troubled enough on the ground floor.

00:58:47 #543 You'd be a nuisance on the roof.

00:58:49 #544 If I yell, you come. Who, me?

00:58:56 #545 Yes, you.

00:58:57 #546 It's you to show me the exact spot on the roof where you think you saw Banker Fleming.

00:59:20 #547 Until you're dead. Who's in this room? Who came in this room?

01:03:05 #548 In that fireplace.

01:03:37 #549 That was Dylan.

01:03:55 #550 My instinct tells me we ought to get a doctor for him.

01:03:59 #551 I don't like that doctor. One good look at him would cure anybody.

01:04:03 #552 Where'd he go?

01:04:10 #553 Maybe he weren't there in the first place.

01:04:12 #554 Hey, what are you trying to do, trying to kid me?

01:04:15 #555 No, but we're all commencing to see things.

01:04:18 #556 And when you get like that, you've got to do something.

01:04:21 #557 And I'm going to do it.

01:04:22 #558 Now, don't tell anybody.

01:04:25 #559 I've got to crawl.

01:04:28 #560 Need a lot of courage around this shack.

01:04:30 #561 What do you mean by putting out that light?

01:05:03 #562 Give me back my bottle.

01:05:11 #563 You say there were two of them?

01:05:13 #564 And the bat shot the other one?

01:05:15 #565 Oh, it was terrible.

01:05:18 #566 I came up the back way.

01:05:52 #567 I saw your light and I saw Detective Anderson's.

01:05:55 #568 I've had no luck looking for him outside.

01:05:58 #569 There's a man behind that fireplace.

01:06:03 #570 If you'll hold this candle,

01:06:13 #571 I think we can find what's trying to frighten me out of this house.

01:06:17 #572 It was right here that I touched it.

01:06:20 #573 Hold that candle a little higher.

01:06:32 #574 What are you going to do?

01:06:51 #575 Say, what are you shooting at?

01:06:59 #576 Where is he? He didn't come down here.

01:07:06 #577 He must be hiding in one of the rooms upstairs.

01:07:08 #578 Come on, we've got to get him.

01:07:09 #579 Why did you put out that candle?

01:07:17 #580 I was so startled it slipped out of my hand.

01:07:19 #581 hand deliberately put it out I saw you he got away thanks to Dr.

01:07:32 #582 Benries. At those stairs what's your game

01:08:03 #583 Benries what do you mean you know very well what I mean you tried to kill me

01:08:10 #584 downstairs you make a mistake and this one oh no doctor you're the one

01:08:17 #585 who's made the mistake ask him why you put out the candle and let the man

01:08:22 #586 escape from behind that fireplace I don't have to ask him if his accomplice bank

01:08:28 #587 a Fleming work caught they couldn't frighten the ladies out of this house or

01:08:35 #588 could they split the banks funds between them Fleming robbed his own bank I don't

01:08:42 #589 think I know he did then if we can find Fleming you're clear

01:08:47 #590 Search him.

01:08:48 #591 Now we're getting somewhere.

01:09:03 #592 I told you to keep out of my affairs, Van Reese.

01:09:05 #593 Why, that's my revolver. How did he get it?

01:09:09 #594 Took it out of my pocket when he hit me over the head.

01:09:12 #595 It's time you handcuff a man, doctor.

01:09:21 #596 Be sure and remove the key from his pocket.

01:09:24 #597 Open that door. Now you get in there.

01:09:29 #598 I'll see you later, doctor.

01:09:35 #599 Lock it. Put the key in your pocket.

01:09:42 #600 Now you'll give this hidden room the once over.

01:09:49 #601 Where's the bag?

01:10:02 #602 Well, if he ate the bag, and he's in cahoots with him.

01:10:08 #603 He fell in downstairs.

01:10:20 #604 Didn't know who he was or how he got here.

01:10:23 #605 When we looked for him, blew it.

01:10:27 #606 He was gone.

01:10:35 #607 Here you go.

01:10:36 #608 Look at me.

01:10:45 #609 You know me?

01:10:54 #610 Did you try to communicate from the garage a while ago?

01:11:02 #611 Yes, I tried.

01:11:09 #612 Have you, uh...

01:11:11 #613 Have you heard of Detective Anderson?

01:11:16 #614 Think.

01:11:18 #615 Anderson's the name.

01:11:21 #616 Anderson.

01:11:26 #617 No.

01:11:41 #618 When you left those people downstairs, where did you go?

01:11:49 #619 Answer me.

01:11:50 #620 Where did you go?

01:11:53 #621 I don't know.

01:12:01 #622 Stolling. Keep him covered.

01:12:03 #623 If he makes one move, shoot.

01:12:05 #624 And shoot the kill, understand?

01:12:07 #625 I gotcha.

01:12:08 #626 We should have discovered this easily.

01:12:15 #627 Anyone could tell it was phony. No flu.

01:12:19 #628 My niece says there's a secret panel for an entrance from the outside.

01:12:23 #629 Would you mind telling me exactly what happened?

01:12:28 #630 Frightened, it seemed like a terrible nightmare.

01:12:34 #631 The fireplace closed just like...

01:12:36 #632 I'm afraid your niece must have imagined there was a secret panel there.

01:13:33 #633 Well, there may have been money in that safe at some time,

01:13:43 #634 but it certainly isn't there now.

01:13:45 #635 Look, a man just crossed that skylight carrying a satchel.

01:13:48 #636 A satchel? Yes.

01:13:49 #637 I'll get him.

01:13:51 #638 Wait, nobody crossed that skylight.

01:13:58 #639 I just wanted to get rid of that detective

01:14:00 #640 and do a little detecting myself.

01:14:02 #641 And the bat shot.

01:14:08 #642 Evidently managed to remove that saddle from that safe

01:14:11 #643 before the bat attacked.

01:14:13 #644 Now, there's just one place possible

01:14:15 #645 that could have hidden it.

01:14:16 #646 The hammer.

01:14:18 #647 No, behind it.

01:14:20 #648 It's here!

01:14:22 #649 It contains the bank's money.

01:14:29 #650 Look out. It might be a bomb, isn't it?

01:14:31 #651 It's for money.

01:14:32 #652 All of it?

01:14:33 #653 That's it.

01:14:34 #654 Now, if you can find Court with Fleming,

01:14:36 #655 Fleming our mystery is about ended. Bank of Fleming and he's dead. It's the ghost I saw.

01:15:02 #656 The wristwatch with the luminous dial. The eye that Lizzie saw going up the stairs. Hey look,

01:15:15 #657 the fire down there. It's the garage. Get busy. We got to put it out. Put that

01:15:32 #658 stature back where you found it. Town that gives value to your lives. That fire did it

01:15:58 #659 to get you out of this room. The moment he's coming back either through that door or through

01:16:02 #660 the window he's after the money I'll pick up your guns without the lights I'll get

01:16:12 #661 back back into the shadows when it comes to be quiet remember he's a killer hit me

01:17:40 #662 over the head and lock me in the garage hey hey all this mask was a long chase Mr.

01:17:46 #663 Betts will be gutting got your red hand

01:17:49 #664 I think that's it.

01:17:55 #665 Let's get to it.

01:17:56 #666 This way, here in case it comes back.

01:17:58 #667 Come on.

01:18:02 #668 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:18:03 #669 It'll take the tools here.

01:18:05 #670 Here, here, take this.

01:20:19 #671 Back to your van.

01:20:23 #672 So my papers locked me in the garage and impersonated me.

01:20:25 #673 What I'd like to know is, how did you get the dope from hip bottles on this case?

01:20:30 #674 May I get everything?

01:20:33 #675 You've got the greatest brain that ever existed.

01:20:45 #676 I said, put up your hands.

01:20:47 #677 Did you hear me?

01:20:52 #678 Just from that gun, not 10 minutes ago.

01:20:54 #679 Hey, boys! Time in the tree!

01:20:58 #680 Get him in there!

01:20:59 #681 Get back!

01:21:01 #682 How did you ever think to say that?

01:21:04 #683 By telling my first lie in an otherwise stainless life.

01:21:09 #684 You think you've got me, eh?

01:21:11 #685 Let me tell you this.

01:21:15 #686 There never was a jail built strong enough to hold the bat.

01:21:19 #687 And after I've paid my respects to your cheap lockup,

01:21:24 #688 I shall return.

01:21:28 #689 At night, the bat always flies

01:21:35 #690 He always flies at night and always in a straight line.

01:22:16 #691 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:22:19 #692 I'm here to appeal to you on behalf of a very dear friend of mine,

01:22:23 #693 the bat.

01:22:25 #694 The people really discover his identity, he's heartbroken.

01:22:29 #695 And he goes around for days, killing people without the slightest enjoyment for his work.

01:22:34 #696 Now you, dear people, you found him out.

01:22:37 #697 You've torn the mask from his face.

01:22:40 #698 And he really feels quite badly about it.

01:22:43 #699 So in order to keep the bat happy and contented,

01:22:46 #700 I want you all to promise me that you won't divulge his identity to anyone.

01:22:51 #701 Let him try to fool your friends as he hopes he's fooled you.

01:22:55 #702 And in return for your consideration in this matter,

01:22:58 #703 he promises not to haunt your homes, steal your money,

01:23:02 #704 or frighten your little children.

01:23:05 #705 Is it a bargain?

01:23:07 #706 And now, ladies and gentlemen, before I conclude,

01:23:12 #707 may I be permitted to say that the Bat simply pursues

01:23:15 #708 his murderous calling for your entertainment.

01:23:19 #709 And that underneath his horrible exterior,

01:23:21 #710 he really isn't such a bad fellow at all.

01:23:25 #711 And I ought to know. Thank you.
