02:30want you to meet Harris, a famous animal hunter.
02:35Get over here.
02:41Who's that cow looking boy back there with the roger?
02:44Why, that's his cousin, French Decker.
02:52It is a waste since I've been trying to get near you.
02:55You give all your time to that foreigner, Grant.
02:59He's a very wise man.
03:01I am learning much that will benefit my people.
03:29I am learning much that will benefit my people.
03:49No one must know that this has happened, least of all my cousin, Decker.
04:16Give me a leaf from your notebook.
04:21I'll have strength to write.
04:27You must lose no time in bringing this to my brother in Cremona.
04:37And you, my friend, for the next 48 hours, you must be the Raja of Rampur.
04:49The Raja of Rampur?
04:53There is no other way.
04:56Should any hint of my death leak out before my brother arrives,
05:02my cousin, Decker, would seize the throne.
05:11You've got to go through with it now.
05:13Do you think you can get away with this Raja stuff?
05:16I'll try for his sake.
05:20There's no time to lose.
05:21There's a bull of bush right outside the tent.
05:23Get me some of the berries so I can stain my face and help me change clothes with the Raja.
05:38Get me some of the berries so I can stain my face and help me change clothes with the Raja.
05:58Quick, here comes Decker.
06:25I told you, Decker, Tiger.
06:29Why?
06:31What is the matter?
06:34My friend is dead.
06:40Please.
06:53It certainly looks as though you can get away with this Raja stuff.
06:56I've got to until his brother arrives.
06:59Why should his brother arrive?
07:03All we've got to do is to tear this up and we're in for the rest of our lives.
07:08None of that, Harris.
07:09We're playing this game straight.
07:11Don't be a fool.
07:12You can have an entire kingdom at your feet.
07:14You heard what I said.
07:16I'm playing this straight.
07:19Oh, forget it.
07:21I was only kidding.
07:23As soon as we reach the palace, I'll start for Kabula.
07:38Back from Kabula so soon?
07:40Did you bring the new Raja?
07:41He's outside.
07:48His Excellency, the Raja of Ramport.
07:59So you destroyed the Raja's letter, huh?
08:02Oh, no, Grant.
08:04That letter was far too valuable to be destroyed.
08:06I knew where I could sell it for a good round sum.
08:09Am I right, Your Excellency?
08:10To be paid after I'm safely on the throne.
08:14And to make sure that there would be no slip-up,
08:17I had Sacker sign our little agreement on the back of the Raja's letter.
08:26And you think you can get away with this?
08:28Don't you realize I've already called the guards from the throne room?
08:30Not so fast with your friend.
08:35You have much to learn about intrigue, my friend.
08:39Try and call the guards.
08:42You'll find they're not yours, but mine.
08:48Your Highness, your brother's arriving from Kabula with a company of lancers.
09:02I haven't told you all.
09:04Soldiers are with him, spreading through the city,
09:07stopping every approach to the palace.
09:09So much the better.
09:10My men will prevent bloodshed,
09:12and the throne will be saved through its rightful heir.
09:16Instead of a kingdom, you will inherit a prison cell.
09:20There will never enter the palace.
09:22My men will prevent it.
09:36Sacker, give your men the order to fire all the troops.
09:39What? Don't you see, you fool?
09:42Our story will be that Frank tried to kill the Raja and steal the throne.
09:46They'll think that he gave the order to fire.
10:09Fire!
10:11Fire!
10:37Your brother is dead.
10:40Struck down by this imposter,
10:42who tried to take the throne for himself.
10:44And he would have succeeded.
10:46And we discovered the fraud and sent word to you.
10:49You killed my brother?
10:51Now, this is no time for private fencing.
10:54You take this up with the proper authority.
10:56Come on.
11:05I did not get the throne,
11:08but we escaped the penalty rather neatly, Fred Harris.
11:12You're not entirely out of this mess yet, my friend.
11:17You still have to buy this.
11:19But I thought our agreement was that I have not to pay
11:22until I obtain the throne.
11:24This is more valuable to you now than ever.
11:26Keep it out of the new Raja's hands.
11:30Blackmail, eh?
11:32Call it what you like, but the fact still remains.
11:35You too, my friend Harris, have much to learn about intrigue.
11:39Take a look at the back of that letter.
11:47Disappearing ink.
11:48There's a way to bring this writing back.
11:50And I'll find it.
11:53When you do,
11:56look me up.
12:36We seek a fugitive.
12:38An offender against the law.
12:40There is no one here except those who belong here.
12:44These soldiers, if they so desire, have permission to search.
12:49Take these men around the camp.
13:00Who is this fugitive you seek?
13:03Oh, just another escaped prisoner.
13:06And if we do not get him,
13:08bien sûr,
13:10the desert will.
13:16He's not in the camp, mon capitaine.
13:20We are indebted, monsieur, for your courtesy.
13:34You will need a friend where you are going.
13:40Show this ring to Musaba,
13:42who keeps the Inn of the Faith in La Benga.
13:45Command him.
13:47If I may.
13:51The soldiers have taken the road to the north.
13:54If you'll take the trail to the east, you'll be safe.
13:57Except the wild animals.
14:03THE END
14:27An excellent disguise, Mr. Robert Grant.
14:30And you probably would have gotten away with it
14:33if you had been sure that we had gone
14:36before you talked so much.
15:00THE END
15:21Did I hear you say you were going to La Benga?
15:23Yes.
15:24Well, what is stopping you?
15:27Me?
15:28I mean, when I think of how it would feel
15:31to be in the belly of the lion,
15:33why should I care what they want you for?
15:35But, uh, won't you get in trouble for this?
15:38Why, they probably will make me a colonel
15:40when they hear I killed the lion single-handed.
15:48Au revoir.
15:50Very bonne chance.
15:52So long, pal.
15:54I'll be seeing you.
15:58THE END
16:29THE END
16:42Hello, honey.
16:44Hello, Wainwright.
16:45Back from the jungle?
16:46I just got in with some cats for the Calcutta boat.
16:49Is she in yet?
16:50No, but she's due any time now.
16:58THE END
17:17In what way can I serve, my brother?
17:21For the moment,
17:23a change of clothing,
17:25a little food,
17:27and later, perhaps,
17:29a real service.
17:35My house and all that I have is yours.
17:41Sorry.
17:42I must run along, Harry.
17:47Nasty case of illicit diamond mining.
17:49All that Cooman did.
17:51Been having a lot of trouble lately.
17:55You finish your drink,
17:57and I'll look you up at the hotel when I get back.
18:00Okay, Wainwright.
18:14Pardon me,
18:15but is this the place where you report a diamond discovery?
18:18Diamond?
18:19Oh, yes, yes.
18:20Did you find some?
18:22Acres of them.
18:24Take a look at these.
18:29Where did you get these?
18:31Most amazing thing you ever saw, the way I found them.
18:34Why, I was riding along, and...
18:36Oh, I say, Wainwright, there's a devil to pay.
18:39Oh, I beg your pardon.
18:41I thought you were the agent.
18:43I'm sorry.
18:45Aren't you the agent?
18:47You're a mistake, old chap.
18:49It never occurred to me that you thought I was the agent.
18:51However, I'll give him your information if you like.
18:53Oh, no thanks. I'll see him myself.
18:55When will he be back?
18:57Tomorrow.
18:59You won't tell anybody about this?
19:01No.
19:03Sorry to have bothered you.
19:04I'll see the agent tomorrow.
19:16In what way can I help you seek your vengeance?
19:19For surely it is vengeance that you seek.
19:23Let us call it justice.
19:25For my imprisonment was unjust.
19:30I have come a long way to find a certain man.
19:33Is he here in Lobenga?
19:35Yes.
19:36Ah, then I can help you.
19:38For I know every man here.
19:46You weren't saying?
19:49Later.
19:52Ah, Harris, my friend.
19:54Greetings.
19:56Oh, my young cousin from Tangier.
19:59A willing worker if you need one.
20:01How do you do?
20:03I might be able to use you on one of my animal hunts.
20:06Look me up at the Continental Hotel sometime.
20:13You see this, my friend?
20:15What?
20:17I just got wind of something that's going to make us rich.
20:20Tremendously rich.
20:21But we've got to work fast, Mustafa.
20:23Yes?
20:24Diamonds.
20:25The biggest you ever saw.
20:27Oh, no, my friend.
20:29The government is too watchful for me to risk my liberty for a few paltry diamonds.
20:33Who said a few paltry diamonds?
20:35I mean a field for them.
20:38A field of diamonds?
20:40Where?
20:41That's what we've got to find out.
20:43My master, Mr. Harris, desires his key, please.
20:55It is clearly a case for a woman.
20:58Women?
20:59Ah, I don't trust them.
21:01They set you up.
21:02I know one who won't.
21:04He's too deeply indebted to me.
21:06Go, you see for yourself.
21:13Hello, Muriel.
21:14Hello.
21:15Mrs. LaSalle, I want you to know my brother, Tom Armitage.
21:18How do you do?
21:19Happy to meet you.
21:23Is Mrs. LaSalle in her room?
21:26I'll see.
21:29No, she isn't.
21:30She might be in the lobby.
21:32Never.
21:33You see that young fellow standing over there beside me?
21:36I don't see him.
21:37I don't see him either.
21:38I don't see him either.
21:39I don't see him either.
21:40I don't see him either.
21:41You see that young fellow standing over there beside that pretty woman?
21:44He's the one who has the secret.
21:47Oh, you see that pretty woman standing beside the young man?
21:52She's the one who can get the secret.
21:57Get her up to my room where we can talk.
21:59Come on, let's go and change.
22:01I'll be along pretty soon.
22:03All right.
22:04Goodbye.
22:06Are you staying here long?
22:08I'll be here the rest of the season.
22:10Your sister tells me that you have a plantation near here.
22:13Why, yes.
22:14We'd like to have you come and see it.
22:16I should love to.
22:19Do you mind?
22:20Oh, no, go ahead.
22:23My key, please.
22:26Why, I gave it to your manservant, Mr. Harris.
22:28My man?
22:29Yes.
22:30Oh, yes, yes, yes.
22:35Must be something up.
22:36I have no manservant.
22:38I'm sorry.
22:39But I'll have to run along now.
22:40Perhaps I can see you after dinner.
22:42Perhaps.
22:55Stop, you fool.
22:57Not so much noise.
23:10I beg your pardon.
23:11We were chasing a thief, and I thought he ran in here.
23:14There's no one here.
23:15Would you please leave my room?
23:17I'm sorry.
23:18I apologize.
23:27Please.
23:28I am not a thief.
23:30Do not call them back.
23:31Why are you hiding in my bedroom?
23:33I can't explain.
23:35I can only trust to your woman's instinct
23:38not to believe what you accuse me of.
23:41Please.
23:42I'm not an Arab.
23:43I don't believe you.
23:46I'm an American, playing a more dangerous game
23:48than I can possibly explain.
23:50To turn me over to the police now would ruin everything.
23:53The fate of too many people depend upon
23:55my remaining free and unknown.
23:59Muriel?
24:00May I come in?
24:02Go.
24:03He must have found a mirror, I tell you.
24:04No.
24:05I think perhaps that way.
24:08Look out.
24:09Here I come.
24:10Just a moment.
24:11Can I put something on?
24:18Enter, milord.
24:23Sorry to disturb you, sis.
24:24But I don't like the idea of that fellow
24:26knowing I've got these diamonds.
24:27They'll be safer in your room than mine.
24:31Oh, look out.
24:32You get oil all over my thing.
24:34Sorry.
24:40You seem to like Mrs. LaSalle pretty well.
24:43Yes, she is quite attractive.
24:48I'm sorry.
24:49I'm sorry.
24:50I'm sorry.
24:51I'm sorry.
24:52I'm sorry.
24:53I'm sorry.
24:54I'm sorry.
24:55I'm sorry.
24:56I'm sorry.
24:57I'm sorry.
24:58I'm sorry.
24:59I'm sorry.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:01I'm sorry.
25:11There.
25:12You'll feel quite a lot easier now.
25:14Just leave it to me.
25:16Before the night is over, the secret will be yours.
25:18She never failed.
25:26Soon we know where the diamond come from.
25:34Come in.
25:39I thought you may want to meet me down by the dock.
25:49Oh, hello, Peterson.
25:50Is the ship in?
25:51Why, do you think?
25:52I walk here from Calcutta.
25:53I just came by the compound and I seen them mangy lines of yours.
25:54Well, you needn't think you're going to get them any cheaper by calling them mangy.
26:05Don't forget, you've been dealing with a Scotchman.
26:10You've been going to snake business, eh?
26:11You must have gorillas in there.
26:12They go crazy every time they hear a snake hiss.
26:13Look out.
26:14If you had gone in there, you'd never come out here.
26:15Down, Denny.
26:16Down.
26:17What is it?
26:18A gorilla or a human being?
26:19Neither.
26:20What are you talking about?
26:21I'm talking about you.
26:22I'm talking about you.
26:23I'm talking about you.
26:24I'm talking about you.
26:25I'm talking about you.
26:26I'm talking about you.
26:27I'm talking about you.
26:28I'm talking about you.
26:29I'm talking about you.
26:30I'm talking about you.
26:31I'm talking about you.
26:32I'm talking about you.
26:33I'm talking about you.
26:35What you take from him, eh?
26:36He's not for sale.
26:37Well, name your own price.
26:39This time, I don't buy zuhn with you.
26:41Just let me take that follower to New York, eh.
26:44He's not for sale.
26:46He would be a menace to civilization.
26:47I'm the only one that can control him.
26:49Come on.
26:50Let's get down to business about these other animals.
26:52You've gotta gets them on board ship soon if you expect a sale tonight.
27:01Aren't you rather rushing, Mrs. Lasale?
27:04After all, we don't know her very well.
27:06Oh, don't be catty, sis.
27:11Here you are.
27:28Isn't this rather lovely?
27:30Lovely?
27:33I know a delightful place where we could be alone.
27:36Do you? Let's go.
28:00Yes.
28:22I thought you said we were coming to your room.
28:24This is my room.
28:27Oh, I see.
28:28My hunting bags and kits.
28:30They do look a bit masculine, don't they?
28:38Quite masculine.
28:40I think I made a mistake.
28:41Stop.
28:42You're not going to leave this room.
28:44Get away from that door.
28:49You haven't got the nerve to shoot.
28:57There's no use to run, lady.
29:03Why, you dare not accuse me.
29:06Nobody would take your word against mine.
29:09It is not I that will accuse you.
29:11It is the mark of your fingers on the gun.
29:27I didn't mean to shoot him.
29:31You have killed him.
29:33You have spoiled everything.
29:42Is he dead?
29:48Yes.
29:57It was an accident.
30:01I am afraid the law will not believe that.
30:08Your only safety lies in flight.
30:11Flight?
30:13But where can I go?
30:14You must leave the city at once.
30:17The farther you go, the better.
30:20Now, there is a boat that leaves tonight.
30:23If you hurry, you can get on board before she's safe.
30:27Now.
30:53Help me.
30:54Help me.
30:55Help me.
30:56Help me.
30:57Help me.
30:58Help me.
