Welcome everyone and thanks for stopping by my little channel. In this feature which takes place prior to the U.S entry into WWII called Black Dragons and from 1942, we have a Dr. Melcher. Now Dr. Melcher is a plastic surgeon and an evil one. It seems the Black Dragon Society and the nutz Nazis are planning to infiltrate the U.S government. Well we see what the Lone Ranger has to say about that. Staring in this false face tale we have the one and only Bela Lugosi as Dr. Melcher aka Monsieur Colomb, Joan Barclay as Alice Saunders, George Pembroke as Dr. Bill Saunders, Clayton Moore as Dick Martin and as the one you would love to have around if any werewolves show up, Robert Frazer as Amos, Edward Peil Sr. as Philip Wallace, Robert Fiske as Ryder, Kenneth Harlan as FBI Chief Colton, Stanford Jolley as The Dragon and a few more. So let's make some Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast and some Armored Diesel drinks and try to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching

00:00:00.
00:00:00.
00:00:01.
00:01:13I say, Reynolds, what's this I hear about the Army being interested in this project you're lobbying for?
00:01:19Well, it's not for publication, but they're planning to build an ammunition dump near the dam.
00:01:24I thought they were spending all that money just to help out a handful of bombers.
00:01:30And when I mentioned to the committee that more than 50,000 troops are stationed within a mile of the
00:01:36depot,
00:01:37they immediately increased the appropriation by a half a million dollars.
00:01:4150,000 troops.
00:01:4350,000 troops.
00:01:44Well, don't forget, Mr. Hanlon, all of our shipyards are not located on the coast.
00:01:49I don't think I understand.
00:01:51Well, believe it or not, we have four shipways on the lakes.
00:01:55They're turning out an average of a ship a month.
00:01:57That explains a lot of things.
00:01:59With your influence in Washington, why don't you get a bill passed to increase the old-age pension for glamour
00:02:05girls?
00:02:07Well, now listen here, girlie.
00:02:09We're not following this precarious occupation for love.
00:02:13What our friend is trying to say is that you ought to organize, start a revolving fund,
00:02:18and you'll be able to speak the language that he understands.
00:02:20Right?
00:02:21That's right.
00:02:22Now that you mention it, it is an ideal location for an air base.
00:02:26The enemy could never spot us in the air, and it's out of the range of the naval gun.
00:02:30Perfect.
00:02:32Coffee is served for now.
00:02:33Oh, coffee.
00:02:35Well, come on.
00:02:38Wait for me, Blondie.
00:02:43Let's go.
00:03:32Well, gentlemen, if you ask me, I would say this has been a most successful day.
00:03:36Well, it has for me.
00:03:38Now I can postpone that strike until the project has eaten up more of the appropriation.
00:03:45But, gentlemen, since war has been declared, we've learned one lesson.
00:03:50We must proceed cautiously.
00:03:52I think we should make plans to slip into some neutral country before the Intelligence Bureau gets after us.
00:03:57And perhaps when the war hysteria dies down, they will become more lax.
00:04:01These Americans are like children.
00:04:03They forget quickly the fire that burnt their fingers.
00:04:07Well, now, dear, you've actually found a very efficient method of prosecuting our war of nerves.
00:04:11No, no, no.
00:04:12I'm not going to accept all things.
00:04:14Yes, sir.
00:04:15It's just that we could destroy more ammunition plans before we have to leave.
00:04:18That last operation of yours.
00:04:21Carried out with such finesse.
00:04:24Beautiful.
00:04:39Thanks.
00:04:42Do you want me to wait for you, sir?
00:04:43No, thank you.
00:04:44I may be detained here for some time.
00:04:51Oh, uh, are you going back to Cleveland tonight, Kenny?
00:04:54No, I'm staying over for a couple of days.
00:04:56Fine.
00:04:56You stop into my office tomorrow morning?
00:04:58A gentleman patient to see you, sir.
00:05:00Patient?
00:05:00I see patients only at my office during the day.
00:05:03Ask them to go elsewhere.
00:05:04I explained you, sir, I saw patients at your home.
00:05:07What's his name?
00:05:08Mr. Cologne.
00:05:09No, or rather, monsieur.
00:05:11I've never heard of him.
00:05:12It seems very urgent, sir.
00:05:14It says it's a matter of life and death.
00:05:16Why don't you see him and get it over?
00:05:18Oh, very well.
00:05:19Be back in a moment.
00:05:20Oh, doctor.
00:05:21Hmm?
00:05:22Don't forget your bedtime manners.
00:05:23Oh, no.
00:05:31Oh, that will be all, Stevens.
00:05:39Dr. Sanders?
00:05:40That's right.
00:05:42I'm not in the habit of receiving patients in my home, especially at night.
00:05:46I have come a long way to see you.
00:05:51Plenty of other good doctors.
00:05:54I'm a very sick man.
00:05:57Sit down, please.
00:06:07You don't appear to be in any danger of dying.
00:06:11You are quite wrong.
00:06:13All men are in danger of dying.
00:06:16The important question is when.
00:06:31Who are you?
00:06:35Just why did you come here?
00:06:39Wallace, how are things with you in Detroit?
00:06:41Fine.
00:06:42I'm faced with a strike that may tie up my whole plan.
00:06:4410,000 men.
00:06:46That's too bad.
00:06:47Yes, because I'll have to close one of my factories waiting for parks.
00:06:51Trouble is, you boys should hire me as a lawyer.
00:06:54Then you could really wreck your business.
00:06:56Listen to them.
00:06:58At that, Van Dyke, my plant might be able to use you over in Pittsburgh
00:07:01to throw a few monkey wrenches into the legal machinery.
00:07:04You must be mistaken.
00:07:06I don't know what you're talking about.
00:07:09That's strange.
00:07:11I was sure you would remember me.
00:07:15Your voice seems familiar.
00:07:17But I'm positive I've never seen your face before.
00:07:20That you are but half, right.
00:07:22You did see me before.
00:07:25I have changed since then.
00:07:28Just as you have.
00:07:33Nelcher!
00:07:34Nelcher!
00:07:35No, no, please!
00:07:36Please, I don't deserve this!
00:07:38Please!
00:07:47I, I, I, I, I, I!
00:07:48Like a banshee!
00:07:50Not bad man!
00:08:04longer than I anticipated but in that case I think we can go good night good night good night
00:08:29well I hope the doctor knows what he's doing so do I this patient was crazy to me weird sort
00:08:36of fellow at that
00:08:37but the European seems to me I've seen him before well let's go over can't we drop you someplace
00:08:53Kearney no thank you I have a cab
00:09:10and be sure that your servant understands the instructions I have given you
00:09:22Dr. Sanders wants you
00:09:31you may prepare the guest room for Mr. Kano he'll be with us for some time
00:09:39very about soon
00:10:01what are you doing in my cab I thought perhaps you're going in my direction
00:10:06well I'm not going in your direction Mr. Kearney are you quite sure you know in what direction you're
00:10:13really going why of course I know incidentally how did you learn my name you have I called you
00:10:22Koko Onitobi
00:11:33Well, the taxi driver identified the buddy.
00:11:36Said that he picked him up in front of Dr. Saunders' place.
00:11:38Then all we have to do is grab this Dr. Saunders and ask him what he knows.
00:11:41Sure, and put him on his guard and then where are we?
00:11:44No.
00:11:45This is one time that we've got to watch our steps.
00:11:47What do you want me to do?
00:11:49Suppose you drop in on the dock and see what you can find out without letting him know that
00:11:52we suspect the place.
00:11:53We have a report that a niece lives there.
00:11:56You might work through her.
00:11:57Don't tell me.
00:11:58Let me guess.
00:11:59She's 50, flat-footed, and fat.
00:12:01With buck teeth and probably worth a glass.
00:12:03Now, now, look, Sherlock.
00:12:04This is your first case, and we don't want you to come and up, see?
00:12:07We don't expect you to marry the girl.
00:12:09Just see what you can find out, huh?
00:12:11Okay, Chief.
00:12:11I can dream, can't I?
00:12:14Cute kid.
00:12:29Hello.
00:12:31You're Stephens, aren't you?
00:12:32I'm Alice Saunders.
00:12:34How do you do, Miss Alice?
00:12:36Won't you step in, please?
00:12:45It's good to be back.
00:12:47Where's Uncle?
00:12:48He's not very well this morning.
00:12:49He's still in bed.
00:12:50I wouldn't disturb him just yet.
00:12:52So sorry.
00:12:54Is it anything serious?
00:12:55Well, I don't know, Miss.
00:12:57He took a little fire down to the dinner party.
00:12:59Oh, dear.
00:13:03Everything looks just the same.
00:13:04Anything new?
00:13:06Only myself, I'm afraid, Miss.
00:13:17Yes?
00:13:17Miss Saunders was expecting me.
00:13:19Dick Martin.
00:13:20Yes.
00:13:21Come in, Mr. Martin.
00:13:24Miss Saunders, would you see a Mr. Martin?
00:13:26How do you do?
00:13:27I'm from the department.
00:13:29I'd like to see your father, Dr. Saunders.
00:13:32He's my uncle.
00:13:33He isn't feeling well.
00:13:35Is there something I could do?
00:13:36Why, yes.
00:13:37Your uncle gave a dinner party here last night.
00:13:40Do you know who his guests were?
00:13:41I just arrived myself.
00:13:44Maybe Stevens could tell you.
00:13:45Stevens, was there a man by the name of Kearney here last night?
00:13:48Yes, sir.
00:13:50You know anything about him?
00:13:51No.
00:13:51If you could tell me what this is all about, maybe I could help.
00:13:54Well, you see, the police found the body of Kearney last night.
00:13:57He was either murdered or committed suicide.
00:13:59Oh, how awful.
00:14:00And if I could see your uncle, it might clear the matters up.
00:14:04I'll try to see you.
00:14:11Stevens, where's the dining room?
00:14:13In there, sir.
00:14:21Uncle Bill?
00:14:29Uncle Bill, it's Alice.
00:14:31I just got in.
00:14:33Oh, what is it, dear?
00:14:36Uncle Bill, let me in.
00:14:37I'm back.
00:14:38Oh, Alice, dear.
00:14:39Forgive me.
00:14:40But I was dozing.
00:14:42Stevens said you didn't feel well.
00:14:44No, nothing serious.
00:14:46Nerves, that's all.
00:14:48I've decided to remain in my room for a long rest.
00:14:52But I'm so glad you're back, dear.
00:14:56Can't I come in for a moment?
00:14:59I have so much to tell you.
00:15:02It's been so many years since I've seen you.
00:15:06Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
00:15:08Isn't there something I can do for you?
00:15:16Are you a new servant?
00:15:18Not exactly.
00:15:20Rather, a very old friend of your uncle's, Monsieur Cologne.
00:15:24I'm Alice.
00:15:25Isn't he?
00:15:26Greetings.
00:15:29You're very sweet.
00:15:31And a beautiful young woman.
00:15:33You'll excuse me.
00:16:07What's your first name?
00:16:09Richard, but you can call me Dick.
00:16:13Oh, Dick.
00:16:14This is Monsieur Cologne.
00:16:15He's an old friend of Uncle Bill's.
00:16:16Dick Martin.
00:16:18How do you do?
00:16:18It's a pleasure.
00:16:19Were you here at the dinner party last night?
00:16:21No.
00:16:22I came late, but do you know a Mr. Kearney?
00:16:26Kearney?
00:16:27I'm afraid not.
00:16:29Is there something wrong?
00:16:30Just a slight case of murder.
00:16:32It's too bad.
00:16:33Can I help in any way?
00:16:35Nope.
00:16:36Excuse me.
00:16:54Handsome devil, isn't he?
00:16:55I'd hate to meet him in a dark alley.
00:16:57Oh, I don't know.
00:16:59Make it a moonlight night in a park bench.
00:17:01Might be exciting.
00:17:02Oh, yeah?
00:17:07What's this first name business?
00:17:10Well, I didn't know him any better than you did.
00:17:13How long has he lived here?
00:17:14I don't know that either.
00:17:15How about yourself?
00:17:17It's been years.
00:17:18Listen, do I see the uncle or don't I?
00:17:21He must be terribly ill.
00:17:23He wouldn't even see me.
00:17:25What business?
00:17:28Are you scared of living here like this?
00:17:31You better come along with me.
00:17:32I think I can take care of myself.
00:17:35What's your name?
00:17:37Alice.
00:17:38Okay, Allie.
00:17:42See you later.
00:18:02What's your name?
00:18:02You better come along with me.
00:18:02I don't know.
00:18:03I don't know.
00:18:03You better come along with me.
00:18:15Oh, your room is ready, Miss Alice.
00:18:18Stephen, tell me something about our guest.
00:18:21Well, there's not much I know.
00:18:23When he came here last evening, I thought he was simply another patient of Burakos.
00:18:27He's an interesting man.
00:18:30Yes.
00:18:31Very.
00:18:47He's not very well this morning, sir. He's still in bed.
00:18:50He'll see me in time at once.
00:18:51Yes, sir.
00:18:52Will you please wait?
00:19:38I told you I wasn't to be disturbed, David.
00:19:41Yes, Mr. Morris, sir.
00:19:42He's below.
00:19:43Please obey my orders.
00:19:58Well?
00:19:59It's impossible, sir.
00:20:01Dr. Sanders can't see you.
00:20:02Don't.
00:20:05No.
00:20:54Could the medical history of a sick person possibly interest an industrialist from Detroit?
00:21:00You're the man who came here last night.
00:21:03As a patient, Mr. Wallace, as a patient.
00:21:36Is this someone here?
00:21:38Mr. Wallace, miss.
00:21:39He just left.
00:21:41I heard a funny noise.
00:21:42Is this room below mine?
00:21:44Yes, miss.
00:21:45Then it came from here.
00:21:53Is there something wrong?
00:21:55I heard a strange noise like a body falling.
00:21:57Oh, I was stumbling.
00:21:58I was awkward.
00:21:59Yes, but there were gurgling sounds.
00:22:02Oh, I was humming.
00:22:05Is my voice as bad as that?
00:22:08Humming.
00:22:14Have you known my uncle very long?
00:22:17The time passed so swiftly, it's hard to say.
00:22:21I think I first met him abroad.
00:22:24Some kind of international meeting, I believe.
00:22:27Are we going to have the pleasure of your company very long?
00:22:30It depends on circumstances.
00:22:36He sounds like a man of destiny.
00:22:39One must not flirt with one's destiny.
00:22:44With the world in the condition it is today,
00:22:47aren't we all flirting with destiny?
00:22:50I suppose I finish my book upstairs.
00:22:53Oh, no, please.
00:22:53I didn't mean to disturb you.
00:22:55Excuse me.
00:23:34I didn't mean to disturb you.
00:23:38Okay.
00:23:55Yes?
00:23:55It's a guy called from Chicago.
00:23:58Put him on.
00:24:01Hello, John?
00:24:02What is the time?
00:24:04Nine add three plus nine.
00:24:06And you tell me.
00:24:072-1, 3-1, 4-1.
00:24:09Okay.
00:24:10Listen, Ryder.
00:24:11Have you seen the headlines?
00:24:13I certainly have.
00:24:14I never knew Curly had heart trouble.
00:24:15He didn't.
00:24:16He was only 34.
00:24:18Sound is a dollar.
00:24:19That Japanese dagger.
00:24:21What about that?
00:24:22One of us ought to go immediately back to Washington.
00:24:24I tried to get Dr. Saunders on the phone, but he's sick, according to the butler.
00:24:29Wallace is still registered at his hotel, but he's out.
00:24:32Maybe we can catch him before he returns to Detroit.
00:24:36Both of us should go back.
00:24:37I'll grab the first plane out of Pittsburgh here and meet you in front of Wallace's hotel.
00:24:40Good.
00:24:41See you then.
00:24:48Good morning now, Mr. Ryder.
00:24:50Here's a letter.
00:24:50Perhaps should have been thrown in the basket, but it seemed rather strange.
00:24:54Why?
00:24:55It's a plastic surgery ad, but it mentions no name.
00:24:58That'll be all, Miss Hanson.
00:25:12Yes, Mr. Ryder.
00:25:14Get me Amos Hanlon in New York, the Exchange Bank.
00:25:22Mr. Hanlon, Mr. Ryder calling long distance from Pittsburgh.
00:25:31Hanlon speaking.
00:25:57Mr. Philip Wollett, is he in?
00:25:58I think I saw you walk in the elevator a few moments ago.
00:26:01You may tell us from his room, if you please.
00:26:07Mr. Wallace's room.
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:13Wallace, is that you?
00:26:15Who is it?
00:26:16Ryder.
00:26:17What time is it, Wallace?
00:26:20Nine, add three plus nine, then you tell me.
00:26:26Two, one, three, one, four, one.
00:26:29Van Dyke is with me.
00:26:30We've got to see you right away.
00:26:33Come up to my room.
00:26:55No.
00:26:57No.
00:27:00No.
00:27:19Wallace.
00:27:33Wallace.
00:27:41Wallace.
00:27:45Where could he be?
00:27:48He obviously isn't here.
00:27:50I'm going to try again to get Saunders.
00:27:54I want Dr. McFarland.
00:27:57National, 6516.
00:28:01I want to talk to Dr. Saunders.
00:28:03I'm very sorry, but Dr. Saunders is still confined to his room.
00:28:06Don't bother.
00:28:07I just want to make sure he was there.
00:28:15Put your hand away.
00:28:17I think I was a child.
00:28:18It would the way you fellow.
00:28:21I see it in his hand.
00:28:34Japanese dagger.
00:28:37Pretty.
00:28:39And now, Wallace.
00:29:08There's nothing in the hall.
00:29:09I'm going to call the police, you fool.
00:29:12You want them playing around in our business?
00:29:14Better that than to be like Wallace there.
00:29:16Don't you realize we're at war with this country?
00:29:18Bless yourself.
00:29:19We're forewarned.
00:29:21Now we're forearmed.
00:29:22Huh?
00:29:23I guess you're right.
00:29:25We'll be down the back stairs.
00:29:52Look.
00:30:01Whew!
00:30:17Oh, yeah.
00:30:29There's someone in my room.
00:30:43Oh!
00:30:44What's the matter with you?
00:30:46There was a horrible something in my room.
00:30:48I'm quite sure it wasn't a nightmare.
00:30:51Oh, it most certainly wasn't.
00:30:54There was no new room, miss.
00:30:56I couldn't find a trace.
00:30:57Shall I look outside?
00:30:59Yes, please do.
00:31:01No one. You see?
00:31:03You think my eyes are playing tricks on me?
00:31:07When a young woman's nurse commenced to give way,
00:31:10it is time she sought refuge in a strong man's arms.
00:31:13I just ran into yours.
00:31:15Mine might be dangerous.
00:31:22You're a strange man.
00:31:24I've been trying to make you out.
00:31:26Why try?
00:31:27Curiosity killed a cat.
00:31:29Oh.
00:31:30Don't misunderstand.
00:31:31I'm not worth bothering your pretty head about.
00:31:34What if I think differently?
00:31:36Then I would say that you're a silly young creature.
00:31:39Why did we leave the cab down the street and walk?
00:31:42Just a precaution.
00:31:43I still think we should notify the police.
00:31:45After all, we can prove we're Americans.
00:31:47We just can't afford to risk the publicity.
00:32:03I want to see the doctor immediately.
00:32:05I'm very sorry, sir.
00:32:06He's ill. I'll go to his room.
00:32:07Perhaps I'd better speak to him first.
00:32:21Hey.
00:32:23Which is his room?
00:32:25I won't need you.
00:32:34I won't need you.
00:32:36Saunders.
00:32:38Ryder.
00:32:39Let me in.
00:32:39I've got to talk to you.
00:32:41Go ahead and talk.
00:32:42I'm not seeing anyone.
00:32:43You know, of course, about Kearney.
00:32:45He's dead.
00:32:46Yes, I know.
00:32:48Well, so is Wallace.
00:32:50Van Dyke and I found him in his hotel room.
00:32:53The point is, Van Dyke is breaking.
00:32:56Lost his nerve.
00:32:58Wants to seek protection with the police.
00:33:00There's only one protection against a weakling rider.
00:33:03Take the outside door to my cellar.
00:33:07I needn't tell you more.
00:33:28The saunders he's going to meet us in the cellar.
00:33:29Wants to talk to us.
00:33:30I thought he was ill.
00:33:31Confined to his room.
00:33:32Only a subterfuge.
00:34:07Close the door.
00:34:08Why?
00:34:09Why?
00:34:10Hurry.
00:34:15You seem to know your way around, Ryder.
00:34:18I was down here once before.
00:34:29Ryder?
00:34:31I have a strange future.
00:34:33Weakling, this is a trap.
00:34:36Where are the lights?
00:34:38Lighten up.
00:34:40Why isn't Saunders here?
00:34:42The important thing, you're here.
00:34:46You turn weakling, Van Dyke.
00:34:48We can't afford to take any chances with you.
00:35:20You were both very accommodating, Mr. Ryder.
00:35:46Don't worry.
00:35:48Come on.
00:35:59Come on, Ryder.
00:36:30Come on.
00:36:37I don't know what it's all about, but I like it.
00:36:40There's a body in the basement.
00:36:43A what?
00:36:44A body.
00:36:45Right by the cellars.
00:36:46I stumbled over it.
00:36:47Yeah, let's take a look.
00:37:01It was right here.
00:37:03It isn't there now.
00:37:14Let's get out of here.
00:37:15Oh, Alice, there's nothing to be frightened of.
00:37:17Well, I don't like it.
00:37:18Come on.
00:37:49I can't understand it.
00:37:51I know I stumbled over something.
00:37:52Maybe I'm going daffy.
00:37:54Well, here's something else that's darn queer.
00:37:56This man Wells was another guest of your uncle's.
00:37:59That makes two of them.
00:38:01Well, this is terrible.
00:38:03Stevens, where have you been?
00:38:04In the dining room, sir.
00:38:06You haven't been in the cellar, have you?
00:38:07No.
00:38:10Seen this?
00:38:13Boy, that's incredible.
00:38:16I know both about dinner, too.
00:38:18Alice, I'm going upstairs and talk to your uncle if I have to break that door in.
00:38:21It might be better if I spoke to Dr. Saunders.
00:38:24I might have more influence.
00:38:27Monsieur Cologne, I stumbled over a body in the cellar.
00:38:30Still there?
00:38:31No, it disappeared.
00:38:32Perhaps it is your nerves, I guess.
00:38:35There's nothing wrong with Miss Saunders' nerves.
00:38:36Of course not.
00:38:37Come on, Alice.
00:38:39A body in the cellar?
00:38:40Oh.
00:39:01See that?
00:39:08Uncle Bill!
00:39:09Uncle Bill!
00:39:11Uncle Bill, I have to see you.
00:39:12Something terrible has happened.
00:39:14I'm very tired there.
00:39:16Please don't disturb me.
00:39:17Dr. Saunders, two of your friends who were here last night are dead.
00:39:20That's most unfortunate.
00:39:22Heart failure, probably.
00:39:24I know, Uncle, but there's someone dead down in our cellar.
00:39:26Alice, I'm afraid your imagination is running away with you.
00:39:30No, it isn't.
00:39:31Alice, I insist you allow no disturbance to be made.
00:39:34My own condition won't stand it.
00:39:36I know that matters are quite all right in the house.
00:39:39But I'll call.
00:39:40Please obey me, Alice.
00:39:43Very well.
00:39:49That door always been locked since you've been here?
00:39:51Yes.
00:39:52Well, haven't you even seen them?
00:39:53No, I haven't.
00:39:55Who takes care of them?
00:39:56Feeds them?
00:39:57Stevens or Monsieur Cologne.
00:39:59That's a fine pair.
00:40:01I don't like either one.
00:40:03I'm going to take you out of here.
00:40:04It's too dangerous.
00:40:05I'm not frightened.
00:40:07I'll be all right.
00:40:08Nothing happens.
00:40:09You take and call me here.
00:40:11All right.
00:40:12Good night.
00:40:13Good night.
00:40:15Good night.
00:40:27Good night, young man.
00:40:29Good night, mature.
00:40:48Good night.
00:40:57Good night.
00:40:58Good night.
00:41:01Good night.
00:41:02Good night.
00:41:10Good night.
00:41:13Good night.
00:41:37One side.
00:41:47And it was right here I found the body of Mr. Kearney at just about this time.
00:41:53No hard failure this time.
00:41:55It's murder.
00:41:58Japped daggers.
00:41:59Judging by their clothes, they were no tramps either.
00:42:02Well, get busy, officer.
00:42:03Get on the phone.
00:42:04Right.
00:42:14All right.
00:42:15But Stevens, the butler has disappeared.
00:42:17Do you have any idea where he could have gone?
00:42:20No.
00:42:20He just hasn't come back.
00:42:23Okay, Alice, watch your step and I'll be over as soon as I can.
00:42:28That's a lot of bunk, I tell you.
00:42:29Ms. Saunders says the butler has disappeared.
00:42:31Well, this is one time I refuse to suspect the butler in the case.
00:42:34There's no doubt those men found that the Jap embassy were murdered, but what do you
00:42:37make of those two daggers in their hands?
00:42:39Well, it adds up to only one thing.
00:42:41The man who did the job was also responsible for the Kearney and Wallace murders.
00:42:45Who was the best guest at Saunders' house that evening?
00:42:48Hanlon, a banker.
00:42:50Oh, I think I see what you're driving at.
00:42:52It may only be a hunch, but if we take Hanlon to Dr. Saunders, we may force the real murderer
00:42:57out until they open.
00:43:00Suppose you grab a plane, Dick, and have a little talk with this Hanlon.
00:43:04Point out to him the danger that he's in and see if you can get him to come to Washington
00:43:07with you.
00:43:23Yes?
00:43:24Mr. Hanlon, a special delivery letter for you.
00:43:27And since the envelope has a black border, I thought you would want it immediately.
00:43:32Bring it in.
00:43:44There's a limit and a small see Fleisch.
00:43:44You don't know what steer me to do.
00:43:44What steer me to do.ه
00:44:36Let's go.
00:44:41Alice, will you marry me?
00:44:43What for?
00:44:44So I can beat you up.
00:44:45It's the only way I can get you out of here.
00:44:47Say, has the butler shown up yet?
00:44:49No, he's probably frightened and quit his job.
00:44:52Alice, you were right.
00:44:53There was a body in the cellar last night.
00:44:55You know that?
00:44:56I'm positive of it.
00:44:57Only there were two bodies.
00:44:59They were found in the steps of the Japanese Embassy
00:45:01with a dagger clutched in each hand.
00:45:03And they weren't killed there.
00:45:04Their bodies were dumped there.
00:45:06Why should you think they came from here?
00:45:08There were two more of your uncle's dinner guests
00:45:10who were here that night.
00:45:13Mr. Martin, I found this note in the dining room.
00:45:17It's from the butler.
00:45:20It's Stevens.
00:45:21He's gone to see a sick friend.
00:45:23Brand new alibi, eh?
00:45:25You recognize the handwriting?
00:45:26No.
00:45:27Yes, I recognize it.
00:45:29You would.
00:45:30You doubt me?
00:45:32I'm not accusing anyone, Colon.
00:45:34All I know is that four men are dead
00:45:36under mysterious circumstances
00:45:37after leaving this house.
00:45:38Huh.
00:45:39Possible coincidence.
00:45:40At most unfortunate.
00:45:42Yes.
00:45:42There's only one guest left alive.
00:45:45Hanlon.
00:45:46Let us hope that Mr. Hanlon
00:45:48escapes the fate of the others.
00:45:51Yeah.
00:45:52Get your hat, Alice.
00:45:54As long as Monsieur Colon is here,
00:45:56I feel perfectly safe.
00:45:59Self-care.
00:46:00Yes.
00:46:00So long.
00:46:06A nice fellow.
00:46:07I hope you'll be happy.
00:46:09Goodbye.
00:46:10You're leaving?
00:46:11Yes, I must.
00:46:13It's most unfortunate that your uncle will understand.
00:46:16Well, will we see you again?
00:46:18Who knows in this crazy world?
00:46:43You're leaving?
00:46:43I can't see you again.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:45Come and see you again.
00:46:46Let's go.
00:46:47I'm sorry.
00:46:47Hey,رator Elizabeth.
00:46:47I'm not as old as yet,
00:46:47You're trying to do if you want to get something else.
00:46:59What do you want to do?
00:47:12All right, come on, Colombe.
00:47:23Well, that gentleman is my considered decision.
00:47:26This institution will not lend its support to any company
00:47:29in the United States.
00:47:30Even in this emergency, which permits itself to be forced into bankruptcy
00:47:34because of the demand of its employees.
00:47:39What is it?
00:47:40There's a gentleman here to see you.
00:47:42Oh, I'm too busy.
00:47:43I think you should see this man immediately, Mr. Hanlon.
00:47:49Very well.
00:47:50There, there, gentlemen.
00:47:51You see what a slave even a banker can be to his secretary.
00:47:55We'll continue this talk after lunch.
00:48:09Mr. Hanlon?
00:48:11Yes?
00:48:12I'm Dick Martin.
00:48:14Sit down, Mr. Martin.
00:48:16I don't have to tell you, Mr. Hanlon, but in the past 48 hours,
00:48:20four of your friends have died.
00:48:22Well, I'm not exactly illiterate.
00:48:23You know, I can read the newspapers.
00:48:26I gather you're not frightened either.
00:48:27A busy man has very little time to indulge in feminine emotions.
00:48:32Uh, just what do you want?
00:48:34I'm hearing your interest, Mr. Hanlon, and possibly the interest of this country.
00:48:38In the present emergency, we can't afford to lose any of the much-needed business leaders.
00:48:43And you think my life is in danger?
00:48:45I'm almost certain of it.
00:48:50Here's something I received in the morning mail.
00:48:52Well, I hadn't intended to speak of it.
00:48:56Do you have any idea who the murderer or murderers might be?
00:49:00I do not.
00:49:01If I had, I would inform the police.
00:49:03Of course.
00:49:05As a good American, Mr. Hanlon, possibly you will be willing to cooperate with our department in trapping the criminals.
00:49:11Uh, just what have you in your mind?
00:49:14Well, we're reasonably certain that these killings have occurred in or near Dr. Saunders' home in Washington.
00:49:21I see.
00:49:22And you want me to act as a decoy or bait.
00:49:25Is that it?
00:49:26Of course.
00:49:26There will be danger.
00:49:28Well, I'm not afraid of danger.
00:49:31I'd like very much to meet this murderer.
00:49:35Even more than you.
00:49:36Good.
00:49:37We'll take the first plane back to Washington.
00:49:39May I use that phone?
00:49:52Chief, you cover the inside of the house.
00:49:54Be sure you keep your eye on Hanlon.
00:49:55I'll take the outside.
00:50:07In there, Hanlon.
00:50:17All right, let's have a look at upstairs.
00:50:19You're not going to leave me here alone.
00:50:21He'll be here with you.
00:50:32This is Cologne's room.
00:50:33You mean it was?
00:50:35This is Saunders.
00:50:39All right, Saunders.
00:50:40Come on out or we're coming in.
00:50:46I thought you said this was always locked.
00:50:48It always has been.
00:51:14I thought so.
00:51:17They were messing you up too, are you old-timer?
00:51:21Any other rooms?
00:51:22No.
00:51:23Servant's quarters?
00:51:24Anything like that?
00:51:25One small one downstairs.
00:51:26Yes.
00:51:31Listen, Chief.
00:51:32Oh, don't talk to me.
00:51:32You've messed up everything as it is.
00:51:35Take it easy, Stevens.
00:51:38Over there on the couch.
00:51:41Get up.
00:51:41No, no, no.
00:51:42No, I...
00:51:43I'm all right.
00:51:44Who is this?
00:51:45Stevens, a missing butler.
00:51:47What happened to you?
00:51:48He was slugged and tied up in that basement.
00:51:50You didn't happen to do that to yourself, did you?
00:51:52Why, no, sir.
00:51:53I...
00:51:53Stevens, did you write this?
00:51:55No.
00:51:57Hello, McGinn.
00:51:58Or Dr. Sanders, who also disappeared.
00:52:00Saunders missing?
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:03What do you know about that?
00:52:05Why, nothing, sir.
00:52:07Who fed him?
00:52:08Well, I did.
00:52:09What illness was he suffering from?
00:52:11Well, I don't know, sir.
00:52:12When I brought him his food, he always spoke from an anti-room or a dark corner.
00:52:16You couldn't have possibly have sneaked in there just once and fed him, could you?
00:52:19Well, I...
00:52:20Yeah, you fell down on the job.
00:52:22Who, Miss Saunders?
00:52:22Oh, Miss Saunders, my eye, she's my best girl.
00:52:25Your best girl?
00:52:26My best girl operator.
00:52:28Or was.
00:52:30So you're a flatfoot, eh?
00:52:32How well did you know Saunders?
00:52:33I knew him slightly in a business way.
00:52:36Did you know that he was supposed to have mysteriously disappeared from a ship in the Orient ten years ago?
00:52:41Why, that's ridiculous.
00:52:42Something new, Chief?
00:52:44No, this is something old.
00:52:45See, the real Miss Saunders came to my office.
00:52:47She's been living abroad for the last ten years on the legacy.
00:52:50When she saw this picture of her uncle in the paper, she figured something was wrong.
00:52:54Well, I figured if somebody was posing as her uncle, I could put someone...
00:52:57Well, this has nothing to do with me.
00:52:58I'm leaving.
00:52:59Oh, sit down.
00:53:13We'll find out who you are by twelve o'clock.
00:53:16Better get him a drink.
00:53:19I'll get him.
00:53:35At last, we need.
00:53:37And then...
00:53:39What shall I call you?
00:53:41A Saki?
00:53:47That's what was in my room.
00:53:48Who are you?
00:53:49That's the place!
00:53:49Dr. Saunders.
00:53:51Take him in there.
00:53:54All right, Doc.
00:53:54Take it easy.
00:53:55Cologne.
00:53:56Cologne.
00:53:57Look out for Cologne.
00:54:08Hold it, fella.
00:54:11Do you know him?
00:54:12Sure.
00:54:12It's Cologne.
00:54:14Well, looks like we're too late.
00:54:16At least your hunch was late.
00:54:18All right.
00:54:18Come on, you.
00:54:25Is this your man back?
00:54:26Yes.
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:28He's a man.
00:54:30Herr Dr. Neltscher.
00:54:31Alias Monsieur Cologne.
00:54:33Mad.
00:54:34Mad.
00:54:35Mad.
00:54:35Who would be mad?
00:54:37It all started some time ago in my homeland.
00:54:49Mad.
00:54:50Heil Hitler.
00:54:51Mad.
00:55:00It was considerate of your Fuhrer to permit you to come here to serve us.
00:55:07Your famous plastic surgeon is well known in land of rising sun.
00:55:15Mad.
00:55:16This is my first request of wholesale surgery.
00:55:20Are these my subjects?
00:55:22Yes.
00:55:24All trusted members of the Order of Black Dragons ready to serve Empire until death.
00:55:40And the Americans, they are to impersonate.
00:55:43You have photos of them.
00:55:45I will need many angles.
00:55:47Ah.
00:55:48Better than that.
00:55:50We have perfect reticulus.
00:55:55Death mask.
00:55:57Oh.
00:55:58Good.
00:55:58I shall be ready to operate as soon as the surgery is prepared.
00:56:02Very well.
00:56:05This is Dr. Neltscher.
00:56:08He will assist you.
00:56:13This way, Herr Doctor.
00:57:51Remove your robes.
00:58:01The transformation is complete.
00:58:08Our faith in your ability was well founded, honorable doctor.
00:58:15We owe you and your furor our dying gratitude for what you have done for us.
00:58:28Anything I can do to hasten the establishment of our new order and to destroy the archaic democracies
00:58:34is an honor and a privilege.
00:58:36Yeah.
00:58:37Yeah.
00:58:38Well, you, you accompany these men and they will see that you are fittingly rewarded.
00:59:14Good way, Herr Doctor.
00:59:19What's the meaning of this?
00:59:21I'm a member of the party.
00:59:23The fuder will hear of this.
00:59:24That's just what we're going to prevent.
00:59:27The little trick we learned from you Nazis.
00:59:29Leave no evidence behind.
00:59:31Let no sentimentality stand in your way.
00:59:33Since you're the only one who knows our real identity,
00:59:36this is merely a precaution to make sure
00:59:38that no one else finds them out.
00:59:41All right.
00:59:46Sorry we have to ask you to share these quarters
00:59:48with someone else.
00:59:56But he won't be with us for long, Herr Doctor.
01:00:00You will pay for this, you apes!
01:00:03You swine!
01:00:04The Fuhrer will wipe you off the face of the earth!
01:00:46Well, you get out of here, huh?
01:00:49He evidently made good his escape to America
01:00:52and set out to kill us one by one.
01:00:54Why didn't you tell him like the other?
01:00:57Oh, I was necessary to the completion of his plans.
01:01:01Instead, he inoculated me with an insidious serum
01:01:04which quickly transformed me into this horrid monster,
01:01:08you see, before you!
01:01:13And you must go on living.
01:01:17I know!
01:01:19I know!
01:01:20I know!
01:01:22I know!
01:01:39I know!
