00:01:32Lillian Harding is still the best swimmer of the Lakeside School.
00:01:37On your marks, set, go!
00:01:42One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30!
00:01:57Excellent!
00:01:59Excellent!
00:02:01Compliment!
00:02:03C'était pas tard, c'était pas tard!
00:02:06If only you should have seen my French class!
00:02:08Congratulations!
00:02:11Congratulations, Miss Harding, you were splendid!
00:02:15Come, give me your hand!
00:02:38And your father would like you to ask the Dean to let you off Saturday morning so you can spend the weekend with us on our new yacht.
00:02:59Oh, isn't that wonderful, a new yacht!
00:03:01That's swell. Mother says we're going to the races on Sunday and then we're going to take in that new show in the evening.
00:03:09What are you doing this weekend, Diana?
00:03:12Oh, same thing I did last week, three months ago. Stay here.
00:03:19What does your father write?
00:03:21Same thing he always writes. Stock exchange, bank, business, no time.
00:03:26Next week, for sure. I know it's for sure, I used to believe in it, but now...
00:03:31Well, he doesn't mean to neglect you.
00:03:33The stock exchange must be awfully strenuous.
00:03:36Stock exchange is closed on Sunday and so is his bank.
00:03:39Maybe he doesn't want to see me.
00:03:41Diana!
00:03:43I'm going to find out right now, I'm going to call in long distance.
00:03:52Reasonable, reasonable, I always have to be reasonable.
00:03:57Is your business really more important than I am?
00:03:59Now listen, dear, there's nothing in the world more important to me than you.
00:04:03Then why don't you come and see me then?
00:04:05You say that exactly the way your mother used to.
00:04:08She too had an insistent talk.
00:04:10Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:12Do I have to repeat everything?
00:04:14I tell you it's absolutely out of the question.
00:04:17I have some important business friends from Canada.
00:04:20They're leaving on Monday, so I have to entertain them over Sunday.
00:04:26No, I don't expect any business friends next Sunday.
00:04:30I'll try to see you and we'll spend the whole day together.
00:04:33All right?
00:04:34Now you be a good girl and have a good time.
00:04:38Let me hear you laugh.
00:04:39I'm laughing?
00:04:41Yes, of course I'm laughing.
00:04:46You ready?
00:05:08Here he comes.
00:05:17Silence!
00:05:32Turn around!
00:05:35Turn around!
00:06:05Here he comes.
00:06:35Here he comes.
00:06:49He's a French wolf.
00:06:51The professor has arrived.
00:06:55Open the door for him.
00:07:05Here he comes.
00:07:35Here he comes.
00:07:45College students, huh?
00:07:48Let's take a look at them.
00:07:58Not bad.
00:07:59Shut up.
00:08:03What can I do for you?
00:08:05Two strong drinks.
00:08:07What's in that bottle?
00:08:08French 75.
00:08:09All right, we'll have 275.
00:08:11Okay, 215.
00:08:1415, what's that?
00:08:1615 cent ginger ale.
00:08:17We're not allowed to serve drinks to minors.
00:08:19Full of all the nerves.
00:08:23What happened to the professor?
00:08:32I'll go down and find out what they're worth bothering with.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:35Better come along and check on him.
00:08:41How much?
00:08:4230 cents.
00:08:43Here's a dollar.
00:08:44Keep the change.
00:08:46Tell me, didn't a gentleman with a goatee come in here a few minutes ago?
00:08:49A tall, sort of funny-looking drip.
00:08:50We're looking for him.
00:08:51No, the gentleman wasn't here.
00:08:52Otherwise, I would have seen him.
00:08:54But he must be here.
00:08:55We saw him come in.
00:08:56I'm sorry.
00:08:57Brandy, please.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Can I help you, ladies?
00:09:01Well, I really don't know.
00:09:03You see, we're looking for somebody.
00:09:05Yes, I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.
00:09:07You might find him downstairs.
00:09:08Downstairs?
00:09:09In the playroom.
00:09:11The playroom?
00:09:12Yeah, that's for the entertainment of our privileged guests.
00:09:16Well, could we go down there?
00:09:18I think it might be arranged.
00:09:19Please, won't you do it?
00:09:20Will you?
00:09:22All right.
00:09:24Twenty-six.
00:09:25Twenty-six.
00:09:26All beds down.
00:09:27Twenty-six.
00:09:28Twenty-six.
00:09:29Four black.
00:09:30Four black.
00:09:31Four.
00:09:32The name of a cow.
00:09:33Place your beds.
00:09:34Bonsoir, monsieur le professeur.
00:09:35Bonsoir, bonsoir.
00:09:36All down.
00:09:37Mademoiselle, s'il vous plaît.
00:09:38Madame.
00:09:39Madame.
00:09:40Madame.
00:09:41Madame.
00:09:42Madame.
00:09:43Madame.
00:09:44Madame.
00:09:45Madame.
00:09:46Madame.
00:09:47Madame.
00:09:48Madame.
00:09:49Madame.
00:09:50Madame.
00:09:51Madame.
00:09:52Madame.
00:09:54Yes, I implore you, please do not say that you have seen me here.
00:09:58I...
00:09:59What are you doing here, huh?
00:10:01Answer me tootsie beet.
00:10:03We only came to ask you the same question, monsieur le professeur.
00:10:06What I'm doing here?
00:10:09Well, mademoiselle...
00:10:11Well, mademoiselle...
00:10:12Every young man has his little devices, eh?
00:10:15One is a loner, lonesome, the long, long evenings, no wife, no partner...
00:10:20Hello, Betty.
00:10:26The lady must have mistaken me for somebody else.
00:10:29Oh, obviously.
00:10:33Stayed chance, eh? Checked on those girls.
00:10:36One is Lillian Hardy.
00:10:38The Goyle family, you know?
00:10:39Fifty or sixty men.
00:10:41The other one has a problem with Stuart Thompson.
00:10:44Yeah, fine.
00:10:46I'll give him my personal attention.
00:10:53You must understand me, mademoiselle.
00:10:56Gambling is something which interests me only as a sideline.
00:11:00I'm here for purely scientific reasons.
00:11:04Mathematique, if you may say. Vous comprenez.
00:11:07A calculation of the probability repetition of numbers.
00:11:12Now you see here my system.
00:11:14For example, eh?
00:11:16I figured out that today the number 26 must come up, eh?
00:11:20I placed all my bets on it, but...
00:11:23The number 26 has not come up because in each system there is a little error.
00:11:30Number 26 black.
00:11:31There you are! The 26!
00:11:34But you just said that 26 couldn't come up.
00:11:37You said yourself that each system contains an error.
00:11:40Oh, wasn't I right? You were the little error, mademoiselle.
00:11:43If it weren't for you, I would have placed $5 on the 26.
00:11:46I would have maintained them for 26.
00:11:48C'est 180 dollars!
00:11:53Now you see? Something has always happened.
00:11:56I've never seen anybody win.
00:11:59Never!
00:12:00Place your bets.
00:12:03No fucking... No more bets.
00:12:07Number 26 black.
00:12:0926 again!
00:12:11And you said nobody ever wins.
00:12:17Do you know the man who's winning so much, Mr. Bedworth?
00:12:20Thank you, mademoiselle.
00:12:22No, I haven't the slightest idea.
00:12:25I believe he is some big Wall Street banker.
00:12:27Only rich people win. That's an old story.
00:12:31Would you ladies like to try your luck?
00:12:33Non, monsieur.
00:12:35Ladies are not going to try their luck.
00:12:37The ladies will return home immediately.
00:12:40Allons! Allons, mademoiselle!
00:12:42I'll follow you in my car to make sure that you get there.
00:12:45I'm sorry. Perhaps we'll meet again sometime.
00:12:47If not here, maybe upstairs in the cocktail lounge.
00:12:50Go on. Go on, young lady. Go on. Go on. Come.
00:13:01I'm sure you will.
00:13:02Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:13:05Number 26 black.
00:13:0726 again!
00:13:12Come on.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:20I guess that's all for tonight.
00:13:22All right, sir. Thank you very much, sir.
00:13:24You're welcome.
00:13:251, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
00:13:2810,000, sir.
00:13:34Thank you very much.
00:13:35Good night, sir.
00:13:36Good night.
00:13:38Good night.
00:13:41How about handing over that bill?
00:13:46May I remind you, Chancellor, today is payday.
00:13:49I have $75 coming.
00:13:52By the way, did you speak to the boss about the 10% commission I was to receive?
00:13:56He says you're not to get any commissions until you're in the clear.
00:13:59You'll have to bring in a lot of customers before their losses will make up your IOUs.
00:14:04He doesn't pay you just to sit at that table and make believe you're winning, you know.
00:14:08With a job like that, he can get a dozen broken-down bankers like you.
00:14:11Say, look here, Chance. How about letting me talk to him?
00:14:14Nobody gets to see him. You ought to know that by now.
00:14:17Nick and I are the only ones who even know what he looks like.
00:14:20I need the money so badly for my daughter.
00:14:24Once I've settled my debts with the boss, I'm quitting this filthy racket.
00:14:29I'm sure he'll break into tears when he hears that.
00:14:33You'd better beat it now.
00:14:51Wait till he sees this.
00:15:06Bonjour, mademoiselle.
00:15:08Bonjour, monsieur le professeur.
00:15:13Mademoiselle, we shall now proceed with the translation of The Life of the French Troubadour in the Middle Ages.
00:15:20Will you please turn to page... page...
00:15:24Twenty-six.
00:15:29It really is page 26, monsieur le professeur.
00:15:33Yes, yes. Yes, I know. I know already.
00:15:37Page 26.
00:15:40Will you begin the translation, Miss Arding?
00:15:49It was the time of the tournaments and troubadours.
00:15:53It was the era when gambling troubadours roamed the land.
00:15:57The what?
00:15:58Oh, I beg your pardon. I made a mistake.
00:16:00It's rambling troubadours, not gambling.
00:16:03Yes, yes, yes, I know. I know already.
00:16:08I know.
00:16:10Maybe we postpone today's translation.
00:16:14I shall dictate a few sentences to you.
00:16:17Take your notebooks, please.
00:16:33Take your notebooks.
00:17:04Eighteen.
00:17:06Oh, I lost again.
00:17:25I think as a starter we'll each take $5,000 worth of chips.
00:17:33Good evening, Miss Cameron.
00:17:35Hello.
00:17:38Four black.
00:17:39That's all I have left.
00:17:41I lose those and I'm completely washed out.
00:17:43I think I'll try blackjack. Maybe I'll have better luck there.
00:17:57Twenty-three.
00:17:58Place your bet.
00:18:04Twenty-six black.
00:18:12Do you win?
00:18:13On the contrary. And you?
00:18:14Oh, I'm cleaned out.
00:18:16I still have a feeling I'm going to win tonight.
00:18:18I'll try just once more. And if I win, I'll give you some money.
00:18:21All right.
00:18:30Twenty-six black.
00:18:34Twenty-seven.
00:18:37What do we do now?
00:18:39Try to win everything back.
00:18:41But how?
00:18:42All my jewels are in half with chance.
00:18:46Say, wait a minute. You've got your sapphire.
00:18:48Come on, let's go see how much he'll give you on it.
00:18:50With the money, I'll bet we can win back every penny tonight.
00:18:52Do you really think so?
00:18:54I've got a lucky feeling.
00:18:56Well, were you lucky?
00:18:58Unfortunately not.
00:19:00However, the evening is still young and we need some more of the wherewithal.
00:19:03Go on, show him your ring, Lillian. How much does it worth?
00:19:05Oh, your credit's good, Miss Harding.
00:19:07Two thousand dollars, ma'am.
00:19:22Ah, good luck.
00:19:25I'll keep my fingers crossed.
00:19:28Two thousand for that Harding girl.
00:19:31And what about that arrow?
00:19:33He's okay.
00:19:34The Thompson family's good for any amount.
00:19:51The Thompson case must have been an inside job, Mr. Davis.
00:19:54The lock of the safe from which the jewels were stolen is not damaged.
00:19:57The thief must have had an exact knowledge of the combination.
00:20:00Did you give a detailed description of the stolen jewels to all the jewelers?
00:20:04According to the list Mrs. Thompson gave me, the following jewelry is missing.
00:20:08Three diamond bracelets, two eight-carat diamond rings,
00:20:11one platinum bracelet, one antique brooch and ring,
00:20:14one string of pearls, and one diamond studded bracelet.
00:20:20Not bad.
00:20:22Not bad.
00:20:24I'm afraid that's all we could get from the Thompson girl.
00:20:26What about the Harding girl?
00:20:28She hasn't been here since she lost all that money.
00:20:30She writes me romantic letters.
00:20:32Let's see.
00:20:38Can't come anymore, since I owe so many gambling debts.
00:20:42I dread the moment my parents are going to find out.
00:20:45It's so sweet of you to offer everything you have to help me.
00:20:49I would love to see you again.
00:20:52Maybe at some other place,
00:20:54because I don't dare to enter the Angel's Host again.
00:21:00How much does Miss Harding owe us?
00:21:02$13,000.
00:21:04Get her over here.
00:21:07Yes, sir.
00:21:14$13,000?
00:21:16Until Monday?
00:21:18Monday?
00:21:20But today is Saturday.
00:21:23I thought you'd give me unlimited credit.
00:21:25I'm not the boss. There's nothing I can do.
00:21:27Then let me talk to the boss, Chan.
00:21:29Nobody talks to the boss.
00:21:32You said you'd help.
00:21:34Me? Don't be ridiculous. Where would I get $13,000?
00:21:37Then what am I going to do?
00:21:49$13,000
00:21:58That'll be enough to cover the debt.
00:22:01You want me to steal?
00:22:03Well, talk to your mother. Maybe she'll give it to you.
00:22:05Even if I wanted to talk to my parents, I couldn't.
00:22:07They aren't in New York.
00:22:09Well, do as you please.
00:22:11But the money must be here by Monday night.
00:22:13Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be very disagreeable for you.
00:22:16You see, the boss has no sense of humor.
00:22:20Good luck.
00:22:35I'm not going down to my gym lesson today. I have a terrible headache.
00:22:42There aren't going to be any gym lessons for a few days.
00:22:45I saw yourself with the flu.
00:22:48What's the matter with you?
00:22:50Nothing. Nothing at all.
00:22:52Oh, come on now. I know you so well.
00:22:55Love?
00:22:57Love.
00:22:59Lillian, look at me.
00:23:02Lillian, you haven't been to that roadhouse again.
00:23:05Oh, Lillian, and you promised me you wouldn't.
00:23:08Oh, leave me alone. I haven't been there. Not for weeks.
00:23:12This is about an old debt.
00:23:14He called me today and told me I've got to pay it.
00:23:17I've only got till Monday. That's the deadline.
00:23:20Lose, you've got to pay.
00:23:23You can have all my savings.
00:23:25How much are your savings?
00:23:27Twenty-four dollars.
00:23:29Twenty-four dollars.
00:23:32Do you know how much I've lost?
00:23:35Oh, Lillian, what are you going to do?
00:23:38Don't you think you ought to talk to your parents?
00:23:40They're not back yet, are they?
00:23:42Yes. Yes, they came back yesterday.
00:23:45You're right. I'll go to New York tomorrow and talk to them.
00:23:50I'll go with you and surprise my father.
00:23:52Now, look, don't you worry.
00:23:54The worst comes to the worst.
00:23:55I'll talk to my father and maybe he'll let you have the money.
00:23:58He's got loads.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:22Diana.
00:24:24Daddy.
00:24:25Oh.
00:24:27Daddy, is this where you live?
00:24:30Yes, dear. This is where I live.
00:24:32It's nice, isn't it?
00:24:34So high up and such a beautiful view of the other roofs.
00:24:41You understand now why I didn't want you to come here?
00:24:46I wanted to spare you this.
00:24:49You see, dear, there are two kinds of bankers.
00:24:52Those who make millions and those who lose millions.
00:24:57Unfortunately, I belong to the latter.
00:25:00Now sit down.
00:25:03And don't look so terrified.
00:25:05I'm not terrified, Daddy.
00:25:07I'm just disappointed that you didn't have more confidence in me.
00:25:10You could have told me.
00:25:12You see, I didn't want to worry you.
00:25:16You mustn't think that I'm begging on street corners or starving to death.
00:25:20Oh, no, darling.
00:25:22I make a living.
00:25:24And I can take care of you, too.
00:25:27But what do you do for a living?
00:25:29Well, home.
00:25:31Whatever comes along.
00:25:32Something here and something there.
00:25:34Remember, I still have good connections, good friends.
00:25:38Say, tell me.
00:25:39How did you get down here so suddenly?
00:25:41A girlfriend from school brought me down.
00:25:43She drove down to visit her parents.
00:25:45She's going to pick me up here tonight at eight.
00:25:49Did you really like it, Daddy?
00:25:50Did I like it?
00:25:52Even your mother couldn't have cooked a better meal.
00:25:55You know, it's been months since I enjoyed real home cooking.
00:25:59Well, pretty soon you'll be eating like this every day.
00:26:02When I'm out of school and we're living together, I'll cook all your favorite dishes.
00:26:07I'll find a job, and I'll make money, and I'll take care of you.
00:26:11Until some nice young man comes along, marries you, and takes you away from me.
00:26:16Marry?
00:26:17I?
00:26:18Never.
00:26:19Daddy, I'll never leave you.
00:26:21But I must go.
00:26:22Goodbye.
00:26:35I'll be back in a minute.
00:26:36All right, Lillian.
00:26:51All right.
00:26:52Oh, that's better.
00:27:21It's me, boss.
00:27:28Chance.
00:27:44Boss.
00:27:45Yeah?
00:27:47Here's that Harding stuff.
00:27:48Let's see.
00:27:51Okay.
00:27:53Jump.
00:27:55Okay.
00:27:58Okay.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:04Family hello.
00:28:06Is that everything?
00:28:07Yes.
00:28:08Tell her.
00:28:10Tell her.
00:28:12Well, tell her that Monday is the deadline if she doesn't bring the rest of the jewels.
00:28:19Get it?
00:28:20Rosalind, you've got till Monday night to pay it.
00:28:23Or else.
00:28:24Or else?
00:28:25Find some other way to do it.
00:28:26You'd give my letters away?
00:28:28No.
00:28:29I wouldn't give them away.
00:28:30I'd tell them.
00:28:32Business is business.
00:28:35Filthy beast.
00:28:38Now, how can you say things like that after what we meant to each other?
00:28:43Was it because I took advantage of your stupidity?
00:28:46Wake up, you snobbish little.
00:28:52Yes, boss.
00:28:55All right, coming.
00:28:58See you tomorrow night.
00:29:14Let go of me.
00:29:15Stop.
00:29:16What's the matter, Miss Hardy?
00:29:19Please leave me alone.
00:29:21What do you want from me?
00:29:23I gave you everything I have.
00:29:25I even stole for you.
00:29:27Do you hear me?
00:29:28I stole.
00:29:34What else can I do?
00:29:36Nothing.
00:29:38I can't see any way out.
00:29:40My parents are really away.
00:29:42I can't even get in touch with them.
00:29:44Even if I could, they wouldn't give me anything.
00:29:47You've got me in a trap.
00:29:50I've stolen for you.
00:29:55Oh, please.
00:29:56Please, I'll do everything you ask.
00:29:59Just give me time.
00:30:01I'll be sure to get the money.
00:30:03I promise.
00:30:06Sorry, Miss Hardy.
00:31:00Your credit is good, Miss Hardy.
00:31:02Good luck.
00:31:03I'll keep my fingers crossed.
00:31:05You filthy beast.
00:31:08I'll be sure to get the money.
00:31:10I promise.
00:31:11Sorry, Miss Hardy.
00:31:28Lillian.
00:31:30Lillian, it's Diana.
00:31:33Lillian, it's Diana.
00:31:35Good to see you.
00:31:37It's Lillian.
00:31:38Something must have happened.
00:31:39Come on.
00:31:40I think it's a bit funny to scare us.
00:31:42Lillian.
00:31:43Lillian.
00:31:51I guess I took too much sleeping potion.
00:31:54I was too worried to sleep.
00:31:56You scared us, Lillian.
00:31:57We thought you were trying to kill yourself.
00:32:00Diana, have the police been here yet?
00:32:03The police?
00:32:04Yes, I'm sure they'll come.
00:32:05They'll investigate the minute they find out my parents' jewels have been stolen.
00:32:11Oh, don't look at me like that.
00:32:13Yes, I stole them.
00:32:14They hounded me and tortured me.
00:32:16The owner of the gambling house and his gang.
00:32:19But they want more, much more.
00:32:21They'll sell the letters I wrote Chance to some scandalous...
00:32:25I've only got till tomorrow night.
00:32:27That's as long as they'll wait.
00:32:29Lillian, you can depend on me.
00:32:31They will wait.
00:32:40Hello, Mr. Davis.
00:32:42Oh, hello, Jimmy.
00:32:43What's new on the Harding theft?
00:32:45I called up the police again.
00:32:46Inspector O'Brien has sent an officer to the Lakeside School to investigate.
00:32:50They say the lock of the safe shows no traces of violence.
00:32:53It must have been opened by someone who knew the exact combination.
00:32:56And the daughter of the Hardings did know it.
00:32:58And?
00:32:59According to the girl's testimony, Miss Lillian Harding didn't leave school yesterday.
00:33:03Well, you see, the commissioner's probably right.
00:33:05Insuspecting the maid and her boyfriend, the chauffeur.
00:33:08I don't agree, Mr. Davis.
00:33:10Twice in a short space of time, clients of ours who have daughters in the same school...
00:33:14have reported similar thefts.
00:33:17It looks pretty peculiar to me.
00:33:20What are you going to do next, Sherlock?
00:33:28Preposterous.
00:33:29This is unbelievable.
00:33:31An hour ago, the police were at my house.
00:33:33And now you come and try to tell me that two of my girls are under suspicion.
00:33:36What do you think this school is, a robber's den?
00:33:39Nobody has said that, sir.
00:33:40I'm acting in your own interests.
00:33:42In case my suspicions are correct, I want to protect you from public knowledge of the affair.
00:33:47Let me have 24 hours for my inquiry.
00:33:49How do you propose to go about it?
00:33:51What am I going to tell the girls?
00:33:52I must explain your presence.
00:33:54How do you expect me to tell them you're a new instructor?
00:33:57That's a marvelous idea, sir.
00:34:00Why don't you let me teach French for a while?
00:34:02I always was tops in French at college.
00:34:04I don't think Monsieur Bedoin, our French instructor, would like that.
00:34:08Oh, I see.
00:34:11Well, how about mathematics?
00:34:14As an insurance man, I ought to be a whiz at that.
00:34:16That position also happens to be occupied.
00:34:21Chemistry?
00:34:22Occupied.
00:34:25Biology?
00:34:27That's out of the question, but...
00:34:29Wait a minute.
00:34:31There may be something I can do for you.
00:34:33How about you with gymnastics?
00:34:35Gymnastics?
00:34:36Yes.
00:34:37That's impossible.
00:34:39I can't even cross my fingers.
00:34:41I trip over my own feet.
00:34:43Oh, no.
00:34:44That's out.
00:34:46That's impossible.
00:34:49Girls, this is Mr. Parker.
00:34:52He's going to take Mr. Sawyer's place until Mr. Sawyer gets well,
00:34:56so you won't have to miss out on your gym lessons.
00:34:58I hope you will behave respectfully toward him.
00:35:05He's an awkward-looking drizzle.
00:35:07I wonder if he's married.
00:35:08I think he looks conceited.
00:35:10Oh, no.
00:35:11I think he looks wonderful.
00:35:13I, uh...
00:35:15I hope no trouble comes of this, Mr. Parker.
00:35:22He has nice eyes.
00:35:31Well, girls, let's start with a few exercises.
00:35:34All right?
00:35:35Ahem.
00:35:38Yes, uh, exercises.
00:35:42Uh, tell me, uh, Miss, uh, uh...
00:35:45Cameron.
00:35:46Miss Cameron.
00:35:48What were the last exercises you had with Mr. Sawyer?
00:35:51The exercises we were scheduled to do when Mr. Sawyer was taken ill
00:35:54are on the blackboard.
00:36:05All right.
00:36:06All right.
00:36:33All right, we'll, uh...
00:36:35try the club exercises.
00:36:37Mr. Parker, I think you're mistaken.
00:36:41First is the gigantic swing.
00:36:43At least that's what it said on the blackboard.
00:36:46Nothing is said on the blackboard, Miss Cameron.
00:36:49Go and get your clubs.
00:36:53Well, go and get your clubs.
00:37:05All right.
00:37:35All right.
00:37:51One, two.
00:37:53One, two.
00:37:54One, two.
00:37:55One, two.
00:37:56One, two.
00:37:57One, two.
00:37:58One, two.
00:37:59One, two.
00:38:00One, two.
00:38:02There's something lacking in him.
00:38:04Maybe it's vitamins.
00:38:061, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
00:38:111, 2, 1, 2.
00:38:161, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
00:38:23Cat rabbits. I'm all in.
00:38:26Anybody going to stop me?
00:38:281, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
00:38:341, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
00:38:40That's enough, girls.
00:38:46And what happens now, Miss Cameron?
00:38:49Judo.
00:38:50Judo? Oh, very, yes, of course.
00:38:52We'll do judo and...
00:38:54What is it, miss?
00:38:56Well, I'm a judo demonstrator.
00:38:58Oh, is that so?
00:39:02Well, what are you waiting for?
00:39:04We are supposed to make the first move.
00:39:06The what?
00:39:07The first move.
00:39:08Oh, yes, the first move.
00:39:10Now, you go ahead.
00:39:20Now, look here, miss.
00:39:22You can't...
00:39:32Now, I must say, miss...
00:39:55What's going on here?
00:39:57What's the meaning of all this?
00:39:59What were you doing on the floor?
00:40:02I was just showing the girls judo.
00:40:07No!
00:40:17If he's a human sucker, I'm ready to go.
00:40:23That's really awfully nice of you, Miss Cameron.
00:40:27Not so fast.
00:40:29Not so fast.
00:40:32Come on, just a little way more.
00:40:41Come on now, Mr. Parker.
00:40:45Sit down there.
00:40:47Sit down there?
00:40:57Mr. Parker.
00:40:59Yes, Miss Cameron.
00:41:01Mr. Parker, tell me the truth.
00:41:02Are you really a gym instructor?
00:41:04Why, what do you mean?
00:41:06Of course I'm a gym teacher.
00:41:07Across your heart?
00:41:08Across my...
00:41:10No, Miss Cameron.
00:41:12Why should I tell you something you wouldn't believe?
00:41:13Of course I'm not a gym instructor.
00:41:15Well, then what are you doing here?
00:41:17Well, you see, Miss Cameron, I...
00:41:20I was hard up, and I...
00:41:22wanted to take anything I could get,
00:41:23and I heard that they needed a substitute down here,
00:41:25so I applied for the position, and...
00:41:28well, that's how I became a gym instructor.
00:41:31But I'd have taken anything, I don't care what.
00:41:34Tightrope walker.
00:41:37Fire eater.
00:41:39Anything.
00:41:44I don't think you would have made a very good fire eater.
00:41:54This spelling, it's terrible.
00:41:56Beg your pardon? What'd you say?
00:41:58The whip-tacking. Can I tap you?
00:42:00S-A-N-D-V-I-C-H.
00:42:06Self-sandwiched with an accent.
00:42:08How come you know the Mars code?
00:42:10Oh, I picked it up when I was a Girl Scout.
00:42:13Shh, listen.
00:42:15That's funny.
00:42:17You know what he's tapping now?
00:42:20N-I-C-E-G-I-R-L.
00:42:30He's got a nice girl.
00:42:32Very intelligent bird, isn't he?
00:42:36I-L-I-K-E...
00:42:45Oh, that was you!
00:42:48You must have been a Boy Scout then.
00:42:50No, Western Union, my first job.
00:42:52Oh.
00:42:54Well, I've got to be going.
00:42:56Oh, so soon? Can't you stay a while?
00:42:59No, I have to visit one of the girls in the infirmary.
00:43:01Classmate of yours?
00:43:02Yes, my roommate, Lillian Harding.
00:43:04Your...
00:43:06Oh, I hope it isn't anything serious.
00:43:08Oh, no, just a little case of indigestion.
00:43:10She'll be up and around again tomorrow.
00:43:12I'll walk over with you.
00:43:14All right.
00:43:15Oh!
00:43:21Come on.
00:43:32Oh, hello.
00:43:34I'm glad you came. Lillian's anxious to see you.
00:43:36I've got to go pick up my dress at the cleaner's.
00:43:38Don't forget about tonight.
00:43:40Oh, yes, of course.
00:43:41Okay, I'll see you later.
00:43:43Goodbye, Mr. Parker.
00:43:45Thanks for walking over with me, Mr. Parker.
00:44:11The boss must be a terrible man.
00:44:14His voice is so cruel and cold.
00:44:18I can still see his hands.
00:44:21You know, I think murderers must have hands like that.
00:44:25He's always picking petals off flowers,
00:44:29one after the other incessantly.
00:44:33Oh, I'm so frightened.
00:44:35We've only got till tomorrow.
00:44:37Oh, I'm so frightened.
00:44:39We've only got till tomorrow.
00:44:41You'll never succeed.
00:45:07Catherine, is that you?
00:45:29No.
00:45:31Make it snappy.
00:45:32I want to take a shower before dinner.
00:45:34No, I'm pretty sick.
00:45:36Well, step on it.
00:45:37What are you waiting for?
00:45:39Hmm?
00:45:43Whoo!
00:45:47Whoo!
00:45:56I hope we're lucky tonight.
00:45:58I'm terribly excited, aren't you?
00:46:00I have a feeling everything's going to turn out swell.
00:46:03Oh, goodness, what's the matter with you?
00:46:05You're staring at me.
00:46:08Who's under the shower?
00:46:15Mr. Parker!
00:46:21What are you doing in there?
00:46:24Get out of there at once.
00:46:25Immediately.
00:46:30Why would you do such a thing?
00:46:34Your behavior is disgusting.
00:46:35It's absolutely incredible.
00:46:37I think we should call the dean, Diana.
00:46:38Yes.
00:46:40What are you doing in here anyway?
00:46:46I was looking for this.
00:46:50Lillian isn't here.
00:46:53Well, I didn't accuse anybody, Miss Cameron,
00:46:56but you seem to be pretty well informed.
00:47:00Maybe you can tell me something about the thefts at the Harding's and Thompson's.
00:47:03What do you want with me?
00:47:06So you're Miss Thompson.
00:47:09Let's you and I have a little talk.
00:47:10I don't know anything.
00:47:12I didn't have anything to do with them.
00:47:13Honestly, I didn't.
00:47:14You can't prove a thing, so why don't you leave me alone?
00:47:16Leave me alone!
00:47:17Catherine, please, calm yourself.
00:47:20There, there, now pull yourself together.
00:47:23Please.
00:47:24Please don't arrest me.
00:47:27I'll tell you everything, only don't let my parents know anything about it.
00:47:31Jess made me do it.
00:47:32He threatened me again.
00:47:34You're mistaken.
00:47:35I'm not a policeman.
00:47:37I'm an investigator for the insurance company.
00:47:40I'm here to find out what's happened to the stolen jewels.
00:47:43I may be more of a help to you than a menace,
00:47:46but I've got to have your cooperation.
00:47:49Are you willing to help me?
00:47:50Yes, Mr. Parker, we're willing to help you.
00:47:53But I must ask you for 24 hours' time.
00:47:56Somebody's life may depend upon it.
00:47:58Maybe by that time we can tell you what's happened to the jewels.
00:48:02You believe me, don't you?
00:48:04Oh, yes, Miss Cameron, I believe you.
00:48:08All right, I'll wait.
00:48:10But isn't there something I can do?
00:48:16Pardon me.
00:48:17Yes, there's something you can do.
00:48:19Go to bed immediately with a hot water bottle.
00:48:29It's no good with Lillian.
00:48:31I've tried everything.
00:48:32After that last little get-together of yours, she's scared.
00:48:35She's outside in the car now, but she won't come in.
00:48:38Did she have the money?
00:48:39Mm-hmm.
00:48:40Fast work, wasn't it?
00:48:41It was my tip.
00:48:42You really ought to give me a commission.
00:48:44What do you mean, your tip?
00:48:46Uncle Paul.
00:48:47Who's Uncle Paul?
00:48:48Bobby's brother.
00:48:49He's a rich bachelor.
00:48:51She gave him some sob story this morning,
00:48:53and he just melted like butter.
00:48:58Okay, I've got the letter.
00:49:00All right, go on down with it.
00:49:02Me?
00:49:03Yeah.
00:49:04Sure.
00:49:22Good evening, Miss Arling.
00:49:24Hey, I'm sure it tickles that you got that money.
00:49:43Is this a respectable place?
00:49:46I mean, no trouble with the police.
00:49:52Mr. Cameron.
00:49:53Oh, yes, excuse me.
00:49:54I was absent-minded.
00:49:55Come on, let's go in.
00:49:57You go downstairs in the gambling room,
00:49:58and I'll meet you in five minutes.
00:50:05Where's Nick going?
00:50:07Well, what business is that of yours?
00:50:09Nick's busy.
00:50:10What's he doing with my daughter?
00:50:12With your daughter?
00:50:14What's the matter with you?
00:50:15Are you drunk?
00:50:16Answer me.
00:50:17What's he doing with my girl?
00:50:18What are you up to?
00:50:19Oh, wait a minute, old man.
00:50:20Let's talk this over.
00:50:21Oh, I want to know what's going on right here and now,
00:50:24or I'll bust this thing wide open.
00:50:26Oh, so now you're threatening us, huh?
00:50:28Well, you better pick out somebody dumber than we are.
00:50:31Answer me.
00:50:32Dad.
00:50:34You'll be sorry.
00:50:47I'll let the boss have a talk with you when he gets back.
00:50:57You think he's tied good?
00:50:59What's he saying?
00:51:00Well, take the handkerchief out of his mouth.
00:51:04I'll break your necks.
00:51:05Untie me, you brat.
00:51:06Where are the letters?
00:51:07What are you talking about?
00:51:08Are you going to give us Lillian Harding's letters?
00:51:10You're wacky.
00:51:11I don't know anything about anything.
00:51:12Search him.
00:51:13Cut it out.
00:51:14You'll be sorry.
00:51:20I'll murder you.
00:51:22Let go of me.
00:51:27You'll all go to jail for this.
00:51:29Did you get the letters?
00:51:30No.
00:51:31Well, I'm sure he has them with him.
00:51:32But they're not in his jacket.
00:51:34Don't you think it would be immodest to go any further?
00:51:37I'm telling you for the last time.
00:51:39Wait a minute.
00:51:40I got an idea.
00:51:41I'll be right back.
00:51:42Let go of me.
00:51:43Untie me.
00:51:45Or I'll take you and tear you apart.
00:51:56Miss Cameron.
00:52:12Mr. Parker, you said something about cooperation.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16Well, now's the time.
00:52:17Please, you must help us.
00:52:18Come quickly.
00:52:19What's it all about?
00:52:20What do you want me to do?
00:52:21I want you to search him in.
00:52:22Why?
00:52:23Please, I'll explain later.
00:52:24Come quickly.
00:52:25What's going on?
00:52:26What's going on?
00:52:27Stop it.
00:52:28You'll be sorry if you ever didn't give over those letters.
00:52:32We'll break your heart.
00:52:34Wait.
00:52:35Be careful.
00:52:36You're going to hurt her.
00:52:46Stop the horse.
00:52:52I think you girls had better leave.
00:52:54I'm going over this gentleman with a fine-tooth comb.
00:52:57That'll take care of you.
00:52:58Come on.
00:53:07Uncle, put your foot on my lap.
00:53:10What's the matter with you?
00:53:13Oh, the water's gone, huh?
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:16There's nothing there now, huh?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:21That's that.
00:53:26I'll let you and I have a private little conference.
00:53:29Where are the jewels you took from the Hardy and Thompson girls?
00:53:33Where are the jewels?
00:53:38I'll give you just one minute to make up your mind.
00:53:41If you don't come through by then, I'll turn you over to the police.
00:53:44I don't know what you want.
00:53:45I don't want nothing.
00:53:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 39, 40, 41, 42.
00:54:01Oh, wait a minute.
00:54:02What good would it do to turn me over to the police?
00:54:05You'd never find the jewels.
00:54:07The boss did.
00:54:09Who is the boss?
00:54:10I can't cross up the boss.
00:54:11Why, he'd lay me down.
00:54:12I'll make a deal with you.
00:54:14You tell me who he is and then I'll give you my word he'll never get you.
00:54:17We'll take care of him.
00:54:19Who's the boss?
00:54:22Come on, who's the boss?
00:54:24Answer me!
00:54:26The boss?
00:54:32The boss?
00:54:34The boss is my...
00:54:35Who shot him?
00:54:50I'll call the police.
00:55:04Ten hours or you're through.
00:55:06There's not a minute to lose.
00:55:07The police will be here any moment.
00:55:09You'll meet them at lunch.
00:55:11Okay, boss.
00:55:12Take this.
00:55:13A little farewell present from Mr. Campbell.
00:55:16I understand.
00:55:17A little something for him to remember for the rest of his life.
00:55:21You get the idea.
00:55:22I'll go down and get the door.
00:55:39Let me out of here!
00:55:42Let me out of here!
00:55:57You let me out of here at once.
00:55:58Now, take it easy.
00:56:00The boss says you're practically on your own.
00:56:05I hope you won't hold anything against us.
00:56:09I'll tell you what you do.
00:56:11You go on home and get some rest.
00:56:14We'll see you later.
00:56:29Make your bet.
00:56:31Make your bet.
00:56:32Twenty-six.
00:56:33Hold on.
00:56:34Twenty-six.
00:56:35Twenty-six.
00:56:37No more bets.
00:56:38Twenty-six.
00:56:40Twenty-six black.
00:56:41Twenty-six.
00:56:43I want my sister.
00:56:45My sister, my wonderful sister.
00:56:52Nobody leave the room.
00:56:53Hold that man.
00:56:54Let me go.
00:56:55What do you want?
00:56:58Police!
00:57:04Protect me, Mr. Police.
00:57:05Protect me.
00:57:06I'm going to be ruined.
00:57:07Are you telling me, madam?
00:57:08You telling me?
00:57:09My reputation, my position.
00:57:38My father's not a murderer.
00:57:39Oh, Jimmy, you must believe me.
00:57:41I'm terribly sorry, Diana, but that's what the police say.
00:57:44Unfortunately, everything points against him.
00:57:46He didn't do it.
00:57:47Well, I know him.
00:57:48He's the best dad in the world.
00:57:49Oh, Jimmy, let's go to him.
00:57:50Maybe we can help him.
00:57:52If we could only find someone who saw him at the time of the murder,
00:57:54so we could establish an alibi.
00:57:57Wait.
00:57:59What about the French professor?
00:58:00Edouard?
00:58:01Yes, the police mentioned him in last night's raid.
00:58:03Maybe he saw something.
00:58:04Oh, do you think so?
00:58:05We've got to try everything, Diana.
00:58:07Let me talk to him.
00:58:08You wait here.
00:58:21What does he say, Jimmy?
00:58:22Can he help my father?
00:58:23Can he?
00:58:24Yes, Diana.
00:58:25Yes, I know he can help your father.
00:58:27Oh, Jimmy, that would be too good to be true.
00:58:29But why hasn't he said anything before now?
00:58:32Because he's a hypocrite.
00:58:33Because he's afraid of his job if his presence in that gambling house becomes public.
00:58:38Now, you go back to your class now and don't tell anybody, not a soul.
00:58:41After Benoit's class, we'll both drive to the police.
00:58:43Let him repeat his testimony.
00:58:44He promised me he'd do it.
00:58:46In the meantime, I'll get in touch with the police commissioner.
00:58:52Ah, Mademoiselle Arby.
00:59:18I'm glad to see you back in class again.
00:59:21I hope that your classmates have informed you what they have taken up in your absence, eh?
00:59:25Yes, Monsieur Le Professeur.
00:59:27Bien, Monsieur.
00:59:28Well, Mademoiselle, I know that you are under the terrible strain of last night,
00:59:34the murder which has been committed in our school,
00:59:37the long hours of interrogation, dreadful.
00:59:40For these reasons, I don't feel that I should weigh you down with grammar and conjugations.
00:59:47Let us escape into the gay world of La Fontaine.
00:59:51Well, now, Mademoiselle Cameron, would you be good enough to translate for us
00:59:55The Raven and the Fox?
00:59:58Oui, Monsieur.
01:00:02Mr. Raven, sitting in a tree, was holding a piece of cheese in his beak.
01:00:07Très bien, Mademoiselle.
01:00:09Very good.
01:00:11Mr. Fox, drawn by the scent, started the following conversation with him.
01:00:16Ah, good day, Mr. Raven.
01:00:18How lovely you are. How nice you look.
01:00:21At his word, the Raven could not help being flattered.
01:00:24He opened his mouth and dropped the piece of cheese.
01:00:27Mr. Fox grabbed the piece of cheese and said,
01:00:30Let that be a lesson to you.
01:00:32All flatterers use the same trick.
01:00:35And this is...
01:00:38That's him! He's the one! He's the boss!
01:00:42The hands, the flowers, he's the boss! He's the boss!
01:00:47Go back to your seats at once!
01:00:49If anyone makes a sound, it will be the last time in your life.
01:00:53Go on, open the door.
01:00:55Whoever makes a noise, or leaves the room,
01:00:57has Diana Cameron's life on her conscience.
01:00:59Get out, quickly! Sit down!
01:01:03Close the door.
01:01:07I've notified the police already.
01:01:09Mr. Parker, you're ruining the reputation of my school!
01:01:12Sir, I'm convinced I'm not mistaken.
01:01:18Come over here.
01:01:22Mr. Parker!
01:01:24Mr. Parker!
01:01:26Mr. Parker!
01:01:28Mr. Parker!
01:01:31One chirp out of you and I'll let you have it.
01:01:51Get out of here.
01:01:53Open that door.
01:02:01Stand where you are!
01:02:03Please, Professor, please, let Diana go.
01:02:06She didn't do anything.
01:02:08I'm speaking for all of you.
01:02:09Don't do anything to her, please, Professor.
01:02:11Scram!
01:02:16This is disgraceful!
01:02:18One of my professors!
01:02:22Very good, my child.
01:02:24An excellent dance, Prowse.
01:02:27I shall see that you get an extra mark on your report card for this.
01:02:30Well, beat me, Daddy!
