00:01:23The city was soon out of control.
00:01:26Half the business sector of the city is now in flames.
00:01:28The city is now in flames.
00:01:56The city is now in flames.
00:02:35The city is now in flames.
00:02:53The city is now in flames.
00:03:12The city is now in flames.
00:03:18The city is now in flames.
00:03:20The city is now in flames.
00:03:24The city is now in flames.
00:03:25We still are under vehicles.
00:03:25published on this paper, but I'm the editor.
00:03:27You understand?
00:03:29No, sir.
00:03:30Er, er.
00:03:30Yes, sir.
00:03:32You're only three months and already
00:03:34you're trying to step into my shoes.
00:03:36What size shoes do you wear?
00:03:38I mean, Mr. Hardwick, I only want
00:03:41to do what the other reporters do.
00:03:42I want to go to fires and floods and murders.
00:03:45I want to go far.
00:03:47That suits me.
00:03:48Well, why didn't you leave right now?
00:03:51Where's the mustard?
00:03:54I'll get it.
00:03:59Oh, Mr. Spears, I was just talking...
00:04:01Get out!
00:04:04Gosh.
00:04:07What's on your mind?
00:04:08This.
00:04:10Archduke Julio Narey skipped up this morning
00:04:12when the elevator in the Admiral Hotel
00:04:13and she was the only passenger
00:04:14to drop 17 post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-posts.
00:04:16Please, sir, investigate.
00:04:18Why work up our temperature over this?
00:04:20Modern elevators don't have accidents like that.
00:04:22No, but modern Archdukes do.
00:04:24Who is this Julio guy?
00:04:2580 years old visiting New York for two weeks hasn't broken into print since he was exiled 1918 leaving on
00:04:31the bar gravy this afternoon
00:04:32Mr. Hardwick can't we send a man? Okay, just to show you how much I think of your story. I'll
00:04:37send Virgil Jones
00:04:39First I want to get a sensational scoop
00:04:43Murder why don't you murder Hardwick?
00:04:46That wouldn't be ethical
00:04:51Hello
00:04:53Just a minute
00:04:55For me? Yeah. Hello? Oh, Mr. Hardwick. Yes, sir. I'm rushing just as fast as I can. I
00:05:04Huh? They tried to kill him twice. You understand?
00:05:09Get down to the fair and interview him. Yes, sir. Oh boy. What is it? A big story. I've got
00:05:14to interview an archduke. Somebody's trying to kill him. I'll see you later. Virgil, don't forget our date tonight. I
00:05:20won't. So long.
00:05:23Taxi! Taxi!
00:05:31Oh, yes, honey. I'm sailing in a few minutes. Yes. The boat's sailing real shortly. Oh, nervous. Of course I
00:05:37am. I'm as nervous as a cat. Oh, dear, you know, I never get Steve Dick. Of course not. Oh,
00:05:43darling. Thanks for those lovely flowers. They're gorgeous.
00:05:49Boss, I told you there was something in that Archduke story.
00:05:52The consolidated press put a man on it.
00:05:54Well, we got half a man on it.
00:05:58Hello?
00:05:58Oh, darling, the boat's sailing.
00:06:00Oh, goodbye.
00:06:03Good.
00:06:05Oh, Mr. Hardwick.
00:06:07Virgil Scoops Jones.
00:06:08I'm at the pier now.
00:06:09All eyes and ears.
00:06:19Mr. Hardwick, the Archduke has just arrived.
00:06:26How do I know?
00:06:28I've got a piece of his taxi cab right here.
00:06:31Hold the line.
00:06:32What is it?
00:06:33You're right.
00:06:34They just tried to knock off the Archduke down at the pier.
00:06:36And consolidated put Briggs on it.
00:06:38Briggs?
00:06:39They're ace, ma'am.
00:06:40They got an ace.
00:06:41They got a deuce.
00:06:43Listen, Klopp.
00:06:44Get on that boat and stick to old Julio until you find out who's trying to kill him and why.
00:06:48But, Mr. Hardwick, I can't.
00:06:49I've got a date.
00:06:50I can't and I haven't got a toothbrush and that boat is shoving off of Europe in five minutes.
00:06:54And so are you.
00:06:58Hello?
00:06:59Hello?
00:07:02Hello?
00:07:03Hello?
00:07:23Hello?
00:07:25Hello, sir?
00:07:25I've searched the boat from stem to stem, sir.
00:07:28And I'm confident the Archduke is not a bore.
00:07:31You got a key to it, sweet?
00:07:33Yes, sir, but...
00:07:34Come on, let me have it.
00:07:38Come on, come on, let me have it.
00:08:26Dookie.
00:08:29Dookie.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:35Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:08:36I must have got the wrong ship.
00:08:38I mean, the wrong room.
00:08:40Excuse me, my name is Scoops Jones.
00:08:42I'm star reporter of the New York Daily Blade.
00:08:44And I thought this was the Archduke's suite.
00:08:47It is.
00:08:48Oh, yes.
00:08:49And who are you?
00:08:50His valet.
00:08:51His valet.
00:08:53I am the Archduke.
00:08:58Swell.
00:08:59Now, your honor.
00:09:00Or, I mean, your majesty.
00:09:02Say, what do they call you, anyway?
00:09:04By my inferiors, I am addressed as your highness.
00:09:07By my equals, I am called as Julio.
00:09:10Okay, Julio.
00:09:12And what did you say your name was?
00:09:14Oh, my name is Virgil Ambrose Jeremiah Christopher Jones.
00:09:17Now, let's get down to cases.
00:09:19Who's been trying to kill you and why?
00:09:26And, uh, how much do you know of what occurred?
00:09:30Well, I don't know anything as yet.
00:09:33I, that's why I wanted to interview you.
00:09:35Oh, I see.
00:09:37Well, Mr. Jones, I have a little error, an affair of sleep.
00:09:41Now, you wait right here, and when I come back, I shall tell you all about it.
00:09:44Now, sit right down here.
00:09:46Make yourself comfortable.
00:09:48I shall be right back.
00:09:49And I promise you the biggest scoop of your career.
00:09:54Okay, Julio.
00:09:57Hey!
00:10:12Put up your hands.
00:10:13Back up here.
00:10:13Who are you?
00:10:14What are you doing here?
00:10:15Search him, Hill.
00:10:17Where's your passport?
00:10:18Well, I, I haven't got one, but...
00:10:20What are you doing in the stateroom?
00:10:21Well, I, I came to see myself about the Archduke.
00:10:24Well, I'm...
00:10:24What did you do with him?
00:10:25Who?
00:10:26The Archduke.
00:10:27Well, I...
00:10:28I don't know.
00:10:29Well, he just stepped out.
00:10:30You murdered him.
00:10:32What?
00:10:33Well, there's a body.
00:10:35Oh, I ain't got nobody.
00:10:37Search me, Arch.
00:10:38It's getting tough, eh?
00:10:39Come on, take his other one.
00:10:40Now, get out of here.
00:10:41Come on, come on.
00:10:42Tell it to the captain.
00:10:44Oh, wait a minute.
00:10:44I'm a newspaper man.
00:10:48Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:10:50There.
00:10:50There's the Archduke now.
00:10:52Where?
00:10:53Right there.
00:10:53Stop bluffing.
00:10:54That's the man that told us about you.
00:10:55He saw you break in the stateroom.
00:10:56Thanks for tipping us off, Mr. Briggs.
00:10:58Well, that's all right, boys.
00:10:59Always glad to help.
00:11:01Briggs?
00:11:02Allow me to introduce myself.
00:11:04Briggs of the Consolidated Press.
00:11:06Oh, so it's a frame-up, huh?
00:11:08Well, let me go.
00:11:09Turn me loose.
00:11:11Say, what are you fellas gonna do with me, anyway?
00:11:13You're going in the Briggs.
00:11:14Oh, am I?
00:11:15Well, I'm not gonna go in the Briggs.
00:11:16Come on.
00:11:17Come on, Briggs.
00:11:22Well, this is a fine how do you do.
00:11:30Now, what's the use?
00:11:44Marshal speaking.
00:11:45Yeah, he arrived in Paris this morning.
00:11:48Safe.
00:11:50He's safe, all right.
00:11:52It's Hardwick.
00:11:56Tell him I'm tied up.
00:12:00What?
00:12:00He's arrested?
00:12:02Yeah.
00:12:03Now, give him all the help he can.
00:12:04He'll need it.
00:12:06All right.
00:12:08Messieurs, je suis certain qu'après cette incidente,
00:12:11Monsieur Jones, cetera, on fait dire d'obéir toutes les lois de la République
00:12:17qu'on sait.

00:12:37New York says you're to keep after the Archduke
00:12:39till you find out why they're trying to kill him.
00:12:41When you find that out, you'll have a story.
00:12:43You could go on this office for any money you need.
00:12:45What have you fellas found out about old Duke Julio?

00:13:07Mais j'ai fait mes études en Amérique.
00:13:08Monsieur est américain.
00:13:10Well, here we go again.
00:13:12Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
00:13:14What did you want to know?
00:13:15Well, tell me something.
00:13:16What did old Duke Julio come to Paris for anyhow?
00:13:19Oh, probably to see his sister, the Duchesse Louise.
00:13:22Duchess Louise.
00:13:23Where does she live?
00:13:24Oh, she's an invalid.
00:13:25She's at the Europa Sanitarium at Dichy.
00:13:28Good.

00:13:31Oh, wait a minute.

00:25:00I've been great friends.

00:25:20Yeah, a funny-looking American by the name of Jones.
00:25:23Herr Jones?
00:25:24Oh, I like him.
00:25:26Like him.
00:25:27Why, that monkey?

00:25:33Well, I'm telling you, he's bad.
00:25:36He's got a wife and ten children in New York.
00:25:37Oh, Herr Jones.
00:25:39That's true.
00:25:40Sorry.
00:25:41He was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met in my life.
00:25:44Well, you watch out for.
00:25:44One of the finest personalities.
00:25:46Well, just the same.

00:26:05Oh, Mr. Giggs.

00:27:42Oh, I...
00:27:44Uh...

00:27:58Oh...
00:28:00Gosh...
00:28:01Sorry...
00:28:04Oh...
00:28:06Oh...
00:28:08Oh...
00:28:13Oh...
00:28:14Here...
00:28:23Here...
00:28:29Jane!
00:28:30Jane!
00:28:33Smelling salt!
00:28:35Where's the smelling salt?
00:28:49What is it?
00:28:50What's the matter?
00:28:51Hello?
00:28:52Please!
00:28:52No, no, no!
00:28:53Don't do that!
00:28:54Don't do that!
00:28:55It's me!
00:28:56It's me!
00:28:57Oh!
00:28:58Goat!
00:28:58Oh!
00:29:05Government agents are here!
00:29:07Leave us be careful!
00:29:08But what are you doing in my room?
00:29:10I didn't know it was your room!
00:29:12I was hiding from someone who was trying to kill me!
00:29:15Kill you?
00:29:16You see, I'm a newspaper man!
00:29:18Newspaper man?
00:29:20Yes!
00:29:20I'm trying to find out something about old Archduke Julio!
00:29:23If you can help me!
00:29:26I?
00:29:26How?
00:29:27What is it you want to know?
00:29:29Well, I don't know what I want to know!
00:29:31But whatever it is, I've got to find it out soon!
00:29:37Quick!
00:29:38Come on!
00:29:38Oh, please!
00:29:40There's not like any noise!
00:29:55In the attic!
00:29:59Your Majesty will be good enough to take the Eastern Express tomorrow morning and proceed
00:30:04at once to the front yard!
00:30:05Oh, so soon!
00:30:06You're going with me!
00:30:07I regret it's impossible!
00:30:09If we were seen together at the feet, the Archduke is going by motor!
00:30:13And you, with your American passport, will go by train, as an ordinary passenger!
00:30:17Oh, but Count Stransky!
00:30:18There were so many things that you were going to explain to me!
00:30:29Who's that man out there?
00:30:31He mustn't see you!
00:30:32He's a newspaper man!
00:30:33And then...
00:30:34You speak?
00:30:36I would suggest that Your Majesty don't give nothing!
00:30:39But keep him arch upon me until I slip out of my car!
00:30:42All right!
00:30:43Yes!
00:30:45There you go!
00:30:45Thank you!
00:30:54You're cold!
00:30:55Want to take my wrap?
00:30:56No!
00:30:57No!
00:30:57I'm all right!
00:30:58I feel swell!
00:31:03Bless you!
00:31:05Thank you!
00:31:07Let's take a walk, shall we?
00:31:09No, I'm afraid if I do, I'll miss something!
00:31:11You don't take a walk!
00:31:12You're sure to miss something!
00:31:14No, no!
00:31:16I'm...
00:31:17Huh?
00:31:25Hmm?
00:31:26No, I...
00:31:27I think I'd better stay here!
00:31:31Something...
00:31:33Oh, isn't it beautiful the way the moonlight filters down to the land?
00:31:37Yeah, but...
00:31:39That's...
00:31:40That's the...
00:31:45That's the...
00:31:46Swell!
00:32:12I feel much better!
00:32:13I got rid of my last sneeze long ago!
00:32:22I was wrong!
00:32:24My last sneeze was next to the last one!
00:32:27Oh!
00:32:28I'll get it!
00:32:33Eastern Express!
00:32:35Why, are you leaving?
00:32:36Yes, I...
00:32:37Well, I mean...
00:32:38Good night, Mrs. Joe!
00:32:48You know...
00:32:49You know, I came pretty close to kissing you this afternoon.
00:32:53You, did you?
00:32:54Yes.
00:32:55There were so many people around...
00:32:57Well, uh...
00:32:59There's...
00:32:59No one around now...
00:33:03Hm.
00:33:06Oh, yes, there is.
00:33:08The moon...
00:33:09The moon...
00:33:09The moon...
00:33:09Oh, well, I wouldn't worry about that.
00:33:13Yeah, but it makes me kind of, sort of, petishful.
00:33:20Look.
00:33:23There it goes.
00:33:27Virgil.
00:33:29What?
00:33:31Gone.
00:33:33So it is.
00:33:36Well.
00:33:45Gee.
00:33:46I wish there was an eclipse.
00:33:49Hello, New York.
00:33:51Hello, Marshal.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:52Scoops Jones reporting.
00:33:53Yes, sir.
00:33:54Just bursting with news.
00:33:55Yes, sir. He's here now.
00:33:56He's Hardwick.
00:33:57Hardwick?
00:33:58Oh.
00:33:59Tell him I'm not here.
00:34:00I've already told him you're here.
00:34:02Tell him.
00:34:02Then tell him I've gone out again.
00:34:04Yes, he's here.
00:34:10Hello, Mr. Hardwick.
00:34:11Did you read this morning's papers?
00:34:13Well, read them.
00:34:19He says I should read the papers.
00:34:21I'll save you the trouble.
00:34:22Briggs scooped you.
00:34:23Briggs?
00:34:24How, when, where?
00:34:25The Archduke.
00:34:26Went up there to see a Miss Jane Hamilton.
00:34:29Jane Hamilton?
00:34:30From Kansas?
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:32Well, she not only is not from Kansas, but she's not Jane Hamilton.
00:34:37Wait a minute.
00:34:38Wait a minute.
00:34:39Let's start this all over again.
00:34:41She's really Princess Helen.
00:34:43Air presumptive to the throne.
00:34:44Here it says, right out across the front page.
00:34:46Jane Hamilton, Princess Helen.
00:34:49Gentlemen.
00:34:50So you thought you'd drop in to do a little crowing, eh, Briggs?
00:34:52Say, I've got half a mind.
00:34:53You've got half a mind, all right.
00:34:55What were you last night, dummy?
00:34:57Say, sometimes you're going to call someone a dummy who isn't a dummy.
00:35:01You've done your crowing, Briggs.
00:35:03Now get out.
00:35:03Oh, forget it.
00:35:04I'll tell you what we do.
00:35:05From now on, we'll work together.
00:35:07If I get an idea, I'll tell you.
00:35:10And if you get an idea, you'll be surprised.
00:35:14Hey, the old boy skipped up last night.
00:35:17You mean the Archduke?
00:35:18You hear that, Jones?
00:35:19You've let him get away again.
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:22I know where he went.
00:35:23You do?
00:35:24Yes.
00:35:24To his estate in Brittany.
00:35:26She...
00:35:27She probably went with him.
00:35:28I'll tell you what you do.
00:35:29Order a plane and I'll meet you at the airfield in a half hour.
00:35:32Now, we're getting somewhere.
00:35:33See you later, Marshal.
00:35:34Catch you at the airport, Scoopsie.
00:35:37You idiot!
00:35:38You imbecile!
00:35:39You sack!
00:35:41Why did you have to tell him where the Archduke and the Princess are going?
00:35:44I didn't.
00:35:44What?
00:35:46That Brittany stuff was just a gag.
00:35:48Well, then where are they going?
00:35:50I don't know.
00:35:51Oh, you don't know anything.
00:35:55No, but I've got an idea.
00:35:56Listen.
00:35:57Where does the Eastern Express cross the frontier?
00:35:59At Grove.
00:36:00Grove.
00:36:00That's it.
00:36:01Order me a plane for Grove.
00:36:03And a bottle of aspirin tablets.
00:36:05Ha!
00:36:05For Brixie.
00:36:21Thank heaven, you're safe here.
00:36:23Tell me.
00:36:23Did anything happen?
00:36:25Oh, nothing.
00:36:25Did anybody stop you on your trip?
00:36:27No.
00:36:27Oh, it's okay.
00:36:30Welcome to my house.
00:36:37This is a fine house.
00:36:39Imagine a castle without a doorbell.
00:36:51Go away.
00:36:53Ha!
00:36:54Go chase yourself.
00:36:56You will not go away, no?
00:36:58Yes.
00:36:59I will not go away.
00:37:00No.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:02You realize it's the middle of the night, my man?
00:37:04Ha!
00:37:04I'm not sleepy.
00:37:05It would be better to go away.
00:37:07Are you going to let me in or not?
00:37:09Quiet, quiet.
00:37:10You're disturbing the entire household.
00:37:11If you think that's a disturbance, you ain't heard nothing yet.
00:37:14I'll yell so loud, I'll wake up the whole village.
00:37:16Are you going to let me in or not?
00:37:19No.
00:37:20Okay, brother.
00:37:22Okay.
00:37:23You asked for it.
00:37:36Quiet, quiet.
00:37:37Please don't.
00:37:38Quiet.
00:37:38Here, here.
00:37:39What's this disturbance?
00:37:40You won't go away.
00:37:41Who?
00:37:42This newspaper person.
00:37:43Hit him in.
00:37:49Come, come, come, gentlemen.
00:37:51Let's not mince words.
00:37:52Where is Miss Jane Hamilton?
00:37:54You'll sit down and remain very quiet.
00:37:57There's only one thing that'll make me sit down and be quiet.
00:38:00And...
00:38:02And that's it.
00:38:09I'll sit down.
00:38:11Of course, I don't have to sit down, you know.
00:38:13I could stand up.
00:38:15But as a matter of fact, I'm...
00:38:17Get him!
00:38:21Take him to the cellar.
00:38:22Yeah.
00:38:24What are you doing?
00:38:26Merely abating a nuisance, Your Majesty.
00:38:28I want to talk to you.
00:38:29Let him go.
00:38:31Let him go.
00:38:34Let him go.
00:38:35Let him go.
00:38:35Let him go.
00:38:38Let him go.
00:38:39Let him go.
00:38:40Let him go.
00:38:42Let him go.
00:38:43Oh, okay.
00:38:43How am I doing?
00:38:50Hey, Joe.
00:38:51Why did you come here?
00:38:52Nobody's ever treated me like a sap without me telling them about it.
00:38:55Well, what are you talking about?
00:38:57About your being princess and this Archduke Julio stuff and everything.
00:39:01Why didn't you tell me?
00:39:02What?
00:39:03Briggs beat me to the whole story.
00:39:06Oh.
00:39:07So it was the story that bothered you.
00:39:10Of course.
00:39:11Why did you come here?
00:39:12Well, for one thing, I came to tell you that...
00:39:15that it's too late to make a fool out of me.
00:39:19Or I... I mean... I mean it's too late to...
00:39:21I mean...
00:39:23Oh, you know what I mean.
00:39:25Well, I'm sorry, Virgil.
00:39:27I'll try and make it up to you.
00:39:29You got your pad and pencil handy?
00:39:32Now you're talking.
00:39:34You ready?
00:39:35Yep.
00:39:36I have been requested by the people...
00:39:37Bruce Strunsky, former Prime Minister...
00:39:39to take the throne as Queen.
00:39:41We leave within an hour by motocop.
00:39:44Oh boy, what a story!
00:39:46And here's something else that might interest you.
00:39:49You can say that the Queen was ready to abandon the throne...
00:39:52but she was in love with a newspaper man.
00:39:54But he was too interested in his newspaper to even notice the facts.
00:39:57Gosh.
00:39:58Gee whiz.
00:40:00Who is he?
00:40:01Who is he?
00:40:01What's his name?
00:40:02Virgil Scoops Jones.
00:40:04And don't forget the scoops.
00:40:06And don't forget the scoops.
00:40:11Who?
00:40:13Wait, Helen, Princess, Janie, wait a minute.
00:40:17I'm sorry.
00:40:24Don't cry, honey.
00:40:26It'll be all right in a minute.
00:40:27Excuse me.
00:40:30Do you love me?
00:40:33Like nobody's business.
00:40:35Oh.
00:40:36We'll run away.
00:40:37We'll go to America, huh?
00:40:39No.
00:40:39You're a queen.
00:40:41I'm just a newspaper man.
00:40:42We've each got a job to do.
00:40:44And we're going to do it.
00:40:45But, Virgil, I don't want to be a queen.
00:40:48And if we love each other...
00:40:50We don't count.
00:40:51It's bigger than us.
00:40:53You've got to go through with it.
00:40:55It's your job.
00:41:00What is the meaning of this?
00:41:01We're sorry, Your Majesty, but we're forced to...
00:41:03Her Majesty is ready to take her place on the throne.
00:41:05Higgs.
00:41:09Good luck.
00:41:14So long, Your Majesty.
00:41:44It's...
00:41:45Honey.
00:41:54Hey.
00:41:55Hey.
00:41:56Quick.
00:41:57I want to send a message.
00:41:58Can't send it.
00:41:59What do you mean you can't send it?
00:42:00It's gone.
00:42:00What's gone?
00:42:01The instrument.
00:42:02The instrument.
00:42:05Hey, wait a minute.
00:42:06How did it happen?
00:42:07Somebody must have stolen it.
00:42:09Must have stolen it.
00:42:10Oh, go back to sleep.
00:42:27Hello, young fellow man.
00:42:29I had to sit down.
00:42:29Of course, a little place we have here, don't you think?
00:42:31Say, listen.
00:42:32This is my room.
00:42:33Who let you in?
00:42:35The landlord.
00:42:36It's the only decent room he's got in the joint, so I can send it to share it with you.
00:42:39That's very nice of you.
00:42:41I hope you've brought your own pajamas.
00:42:43Have you got any news?
00:42:45I know more than you do.
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47But you'll have to phone it in, won't you?
00:42:50Oh, so you're the guy that put the telephone and telegraph out of commission.
00:42:53I just wanted to make sure that any little item you might collect should bring right here.
00:42:58How does it look?
00:42:59Thanks.
00:43:00Well.
00:43:01There's only one thing the matter with it.
00:43:04It won't work.
00:43:06Well, make it work.
00:43:10I can't.
00:43:11This is a fine how do you do.
00:43:13I go out and get the scoop of the age.
00:43:15And you wreck everything so I can't send it in.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:18I think I made a mistake there.
00:43:20You think you made a mistake?
00:43:22No way of getting out of this town for two days.
00:43:25And I've got all the dough.
00:43:29The princess is going back to take the throne.
00:43:32She and that guy Julio and Count Strunsky are crossing the frontier tonight by automobile.
00:43:39Strunsky is going to be the prime minister.
00:43:44I got the whole story.
00:43:46Yeah, and you're stuck with it.
00:43:49Your fiancee, Prince Michael, will be here in a moment.
00:43:52Then we must proceed to the capital.
00:43:55Prince Michael?
00:43:57My fiancee?
00:43:58Yes.
00:43:58It'll make a better impression, my dear, if you tell the people you're going to be married
00:44:01after you're on the throne.
00:44:04His Highness, Prince Michael.
00:44:13Majesty, your most humble servant.
00:44:18Cousin, you're very beautiful.
00:44:20You look like your queen.
00:44:23Thanks.
00:44:24I wish to be alone with the Majesty.
00:44:34You're not glad to be going back.
00:44:37I think I'm a little scared.
00:44:39Somehow kings and queens seem unreal to me.
00:44:42There's nothing to fear.
00:44:43You'll be my wife.
00:44:52Are you in love?
00:44:57Yes.
00:44:58Well, good. That makes it simpler.
00:45:01Why?
00:45:01Because I'm in love, too.
00:45:03Oh, most charming girl.
00:45:04She plays a lovely hand at Bridge.
00:45:06You'll adore her.
00:45:06You play Bridge.
00:45:08Yes.
00:45:09Oh.
00:45:09Fine.
00:45:10I do think we're going to hit it off famously.
00:45:13We are to proceed to the village of Latva.
00:45:15Simon and Marco will meet us there with the others.
00:45:18We are to wear the uniforms of the government police.
00:45:21We set up our machine gun in the shop below Marco's apartment.
00:45:24Upon arrival of Your Excellency's party at dawn, we open fire on Her Majesty's car.
00:45:29And continue firing until we're sure she's dead.
00:45:32Before escaping, be sure to show yourselves.
00:45:35So that the people can see the government uniforms.
00:45:40My bulletproof car will be in the lead.
00:45:42We'd better fire on that as well as the car of Her Majesty.
00:45:47This is absurd.
00:45:48Every moment is precious.
00:45:50What possible good could Her Majesty derive from the advice of this, this louse?
00:45:54Don't you dare call him a louse.
00:45:56Why, he's my, he's my friend.
00:45:59I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
00:46:09Lovely night for a murder.
00:46:11This is frighteningly, Mr. Kerr.
00:46:15I was only kidding.
00:46:17Nevertheless, it's a beautiful evening for a murder.
00:46:29Come in, my friend.
00:46:31Oh, er, er, er, princess.
00:46:34Yes, yes, yes.
00:46:35Quite right.
00:46:35She's?
00:46:38Now, you'll follow me.
00:46:42Hey.
00:46:43Put it in the center of the other one.
00:46:44Put it in the center of the other one.
00:46:50Hey.
00:47:01The messenger has returned, Your Majesty.
00:47:03Yes.
00:47:04Your friend sends his regrets.
00:47:07Oh.
00:47:08Oh, but why?
00:47:09Didn't he say why?
00:47:11Yes, he, he said something about duty to this pig.
00:47:16Here's duty.
00:47:18Hmm.
00:47:19Oh.
00:47:20Oh, I understand.
00:47:23Duty comes first.
00:47:25Even with him.
00:47:34Oh, I see.
00:47:35Oh, you...
00:47:37So they caught up with you, too?
00:47:39Yeah.
00:47:40The Rover boys are together again.
00:47:48Relax.
00:47:55It's all right for you to say relax.
00:47:57Goodness.
00:47:58I'm on the spot.
00:48:00The greatest story in years breaking in here with...
00:48:05How long have you been in here?
00:48:08About 20 minutes.
00:48:10And you haven't figured a way to get out?
00:48:11There's no way to get...
00:48:14Hey, wait a minute.
00:48:16I've got an idea.
00:48:17It won't work.
00:48:19Come here.
00:48:20Look.
00:48:23You boost me up, and I'll reach down and help you.
00:48:26Ha!
00:48:26That's a good idea.
00:48:28Even if you did think of it.
00:48:35Hey!
00:48:36Hey!
00:48:45All right. Come on.
00:48:47Take hold of my hands.
00:48:48Any news you want to send to the outside world?
00:48:50Scoopsy?
00:48:55Well, you're...
00:48:59What about that?
00:49:00As soon as we are gone, let the newsmen escape and give the news to the world.
00:49:04Betty, what's safe?
00:49:14Pardon me, I'll be right back.
00:49:16Come on.
00:49:17That's the wrong car.
00:49:19What?
00:49:20The Queen should ride in your bulletproof car.
00:49:22But your highness, you don't understand.
00:49:23I think I do understand.
00:49:25And we don't intend taking another step until we...
00:49:32Put him in the tunnel.
00:49:37Miss Michael will ride with me.
00:49:39And drive on.

00:59:16Great work Jones, I'll tend to it.
00:59:34Yes.
00:59:35Prince Michael has been assassinated.
00:59:37What?
00:59:38Yes, Your Excellency.
00:59:40The rest of the party crossed the frontier near Latver.
00:59:42There is a report of a parked war on the ground.
00:59:44He's oversold the government by a fascination of the princes.
00:59:49Call the Chief of Staff.
00:59:50Call the Minister of Justice.
00:59:51Call the Superintendent of Police.
00:59:53Get my car.
00:59:58The Chief of Junction, Latver.
01:00:00All speed, Latver.
01:00:09All patrols, have to stop and capture parties.
01:00:14The Chief of Junction, Latver.
01:00:16All speed, Latver.
01:00:39Hey!
01:00:40Hey, hey, hey!
01:00:51Hey!
01:00:59Hey!
01:01:01Hey, that's all.
01:01:03I have the staan.
01:01:04Hey!
01:01:05Hey!
01:01:05Hey!
01:01:23Here they come.
01:01:47Here they come.
01:02:12I'm sorry, you'll have to come with me.
01:02:13I'm sorry, you'll have to come with me.
01:02:38Yes, sir.
01:02:39Major, clear the streets at once.
01:02:41Order everyone to remain indoors until further notice.
01:02:43Yes, excellency.
01:02:56Let me in.
01:02:58I'm Virgil Jones of the New York Blades.
01:03:01Get him alone.
01:03:04Virgil.
01:03:08Are you all right?
01:03:08Darling.
01:03:11What are you going to do with her?
01:03:12No choice.
01:03:13I have to hold up a trial.
01:03:14Don't be a chump.
01:03:15Don't you know how excited the people get about a common criminal?
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:17Well, what do you think they'll do about her?
01:03:19By the time you've had her in the jug a week, riots and revolutions will break out all over
01:03:21the place.
01:03:22True young man.
01:03:24What would you suggest?
01:03:28Are there any automobiles in this town?
01:03:30Of course.
01:03:31Why?
01:03:31Tell your cops to look the other way while she escapes.
01:03:33I'll have her across the border before you know it.
01:03:36Mr. Jones, this is the second time today you've saved my government.
01:03:42Oh, that's all right.
01:03:43Glad to be of service any time.
01:03:46Come on.
01:03:46Let's go.
01:03:47You too, Julio.
01:03:48Come on, duck.
01:03:49Duck.
01:03:49Yes.
01:03:54Let me have it.
01:03:56Hello.
01:03:57Hello.
01:03:57Get me Paris.
01:03:59Virgil.
01:03:59What happened?
01:04:00Meet the princess.
01:04:02Say, what's she doing?
01:04:03I brought you the story.
01:04:04Do I have to write it for you?
01:04:05Say, you crossed the frontier, didn't you?
01:04:07Yes, but...
01:04:08Well, what'd you come back for?
01:04:09Hello.
01:04:10Get me the Paris off the New York blade.
01:04:12Aren't you going to be queen anymore?
01:04:14Who killed Prince Michael?
01:04:17Hello.
01:04:18Hello, Marshal.
01:04:19Scoops.
01:04:19Listen.
01:04:20She's safely across the border.
01:04:23She's right here with me.
01:04:25Good.
01:04:26I'll get you a brick mill interview.
01:04:28Oh, boy, what a story.
01:04:30Hey, give me that phone.
01:04:32Sure.
01:04:34There.
01:04:35Oh.
01:04:36Take it.
