05:09Just the man I want to see.
05:11Dick, I want you to meet Mr. Vance of the Consolidated Steamship Line.
05:16Mr. Tracy, Mr. Vance.
05:17How do you do?
05:18How do you do, sir?
05:19And Captain Bullock of the Steamship Atlantis.
05:21Hello, Tracy.
05:22Captain.
05:23What's the trouble, Clive?
05:24A million dollars in gold has disappeared from the Atlantis.
05:28How?
05:29That's what we'd like to know.
05:30The gold was in a special compartment that was locked and sealed
05:33from the time the Atlantis left the other side until she docked here.
05:37When we went to open the compartment, the seal was just as we left it,
05:40but the gold was gone.
05:42You've searched the ship?
05:43From stem to stern.
05:44And all luggage before it was allowed ashore.
05:46Is the Atlantis still in port?
05:48Yes.
05:49We had a slight accident at sea.
05:50A fishing smack rammed us.
05:52It's a matter of routine we're having the plates examined
05:54in case any need repairing.
05:56Well, I'd like to go aboard and look the vessel over.
05:58Certainly.
05:59I'll notify the yard superintendent to be at your service.
06:02Thanks.
06:03Captain, did anything unusual occur during the trip?
06:06Yes.
06:07Her semen was lost overboard.
06:09At first we thought it was an accident,
06:11but later we found this in his locker.
06:16Remember, others will be watching to make sure that you obey instructions.
06:20This is no piker's job, Clive.
06:23In fact, it's big enough and clever enough to make me think. . .
06:26A spider ring?
06:28What are you going to do?
06:30Make sure of the handwriting on this note first.
06:33Then?
06:34Well.
06:35Good day, gentlemen.
06:45What did you find out about the note?
06:48Well, the handwriting does check with other notes.
06:51Then it is from the spider ring.
07:06It's handwriting, Gwen.
07:08Gordon could have written that note.
07:10How is that possible?
07:12Gordon couldn't be the spider.
07:14Why. . .
07:15Why, the spider ring was operating before Gordon disappeared.
07:19That's right.
07:20For the moment, I. . .
07:21Oh, folks!
07:22I just heard about the missing gold shipment.
07:24Dick had hurried right over.
07:25What's the note?
07:26Well, I'm going down to the dock to look over the ship.
07:28You better stick around here.
07:29Well, I'm going down to the dock to look over the ship.
07:30You better stick around here.
07:31Well, I'm going down to the dock to look over the ship.
07:33I'm going down to the dock to look over the ship.
07:34You better stick around here.
07:35Okay.
07:36Say, Chief, you better take me with you.
07:38I'm a human bloodhound when it comes to getting gold.
07:41All right, Mike.
07:43Oh, Gwen, you better follow us away with the rest of them.
07:46You better go get your hat on.
07:48Hurry up, now.
08:04Moloch, let Gordon in.
08:17We've been waiting for you.
08:22Everything is ready?
08:24Here's the working diagram of the Atlantis.
08:27This is where our ship rammed her.
08:30That accident was a very brilliant inspiration.
08:35And the gold?
08:37Here, near the bow, where we can get to it when we are ready.
09:00Where can I find the superintendent?
09:01I'm the superintendent.
09:02Oh, Mr. Stephen.
09:03My name is Dick Tracy.
09:04Oh, yes.
09:05Mr. Vance told me you'd be here.
09:07What can I do for you?
09:08Well, I'd like to have a little look around, if you don't mind.
09:10Why, sure.
09:11Come along.
09:12Thanks.
09:15Junior, you know, in some localities, I'm known as Not Time McGirt.
09:20Really, I'm one of the finest rope tires that you've ever seen.
09:24Have you found any damage?
09:25Some.
09:26One plate seems to have been sprung a bit.
09:28I'll show you.
09:30Could it have been done deliberately?
09:33Well, it could.
09:35But I don't see what good that would have done anybody.
09:37Where was she hit?
09:39Just aft of a midship's.
09:42Here's the plate that was sprung.
09:48There I go, spilling ink all over again.
09:51I guess I'll have to get a new pen.
09:53Here, take mine.
09:55Oh, thank you.
09:57Now, here's where she got rammed.
10:01And there's where the gold compartment is.
10:05Quite a distance apart, you see.
10:08Have you fixed the plate yet?
10:10No, the riveting crew will take charge of that when they get here.
10:13Want me to show you the ship before I go?
10:16Before you go?
10:17Yes, my foreman Clancy bosses the riveters.
10:20Come along.
10:21Thanks.
10:27See?
10:28Looks solid.
10:29It is solid.
10:30There's nothing wrong with it.
10:31I've tried it in Indochina.
10:32What's the gig, Mike?
10:33Oh, I was just showing Junior a little rope trick I had here.
10:36High class.
10:37Now, you take the two ends, see, and you put one on each wrist like this.
10:41Now, pull them tight.
10:42That's it.
10:43Pull them good and tight.
10:49Dick Treacher, the G-man, just came aboard.
10:51He's making a complete inspection of the ship.
10:53He's making a complete inspection of the ship.
10:55Better notify the lane one.
11:04Calling to location seven.
11:06Calling to location seven.
11:08Calling to location seven.
11:10Location seven answering.
11:12Stand by.
11:20I'll take it.
11:23I'll take it.
11:33Go ahead.
11:34Dick Treacher just came aboard.
11:36He's making a complete inspection of the boat.
11:38I'm leaving at once for the dry dock.
11:47Want me to cut it?
11:49Oh, you don't think I can get out of it, huh?
11:51Tell me what sail the 11th sees.
11:53Then I'll fix the system.
12:22Well, there isn't much I can tell you, Mr. Treacher,
12:26except that this is the vault where the gold was stored.
12:31Well, I'd like to take a look inside.
12:33Oh, as far as you like.
12:34Fancy to cooperate with you.
12:36Glad to have met you.
12:38Thank you very much.
12:52Nancy, there's a G-man aboard.
12:55G-man?
12:56Yeah.
12:57I don't know what he wants, but do all you can to help him out, will you?
13:01Yeah.
13:22Gee, I didn't know anybody was in there.
13:25You might have been smothered to death.
13:27Yes, I might have.
13:29You know where I can find this fellow Clancy?
13:32Yeah, that's me.
13:33Oh, I see.
13:35You have the blueprint.
13:36Are you going to fix that damaged plate?
13:38Yes, yes.
13:39I was just starting to do it.
13:40Well, do you mind if I tag along?
13:42No.
13:43Suit yourself.
13:52Barley, I've already marked the plane.
13:55Cut it according to this blueprint.
13:57All right, boss.
14:04So that's where the damaged plate is.
14:06Sure.
14:07Where'd you think it was?
14:08I was just wondering.
14:10Thanks.
14:11You're welcome.
14:12What's the matter to you, Moucha?
14:13Afraid of burning that rivet?
14:14Did I see that blueprint for a minute?
14:39Well, have you seen that blueprint?
14:40you're going to try to tell me my business.
14:42No, I'm just a curious sort of a guy.
14:44♪
15:02Remember, be ready when they remove that plate.
15:05That's all you can do from in here.
15:07Take the equipment outside, start cutting from there.
15:09♪
15:13What's that?
15:14Blueprint, showing where the damaged plate is.
15:17I thought it was more of midships.
15:19How do they make those, with white ink?
15:21Ink?
15:22There was an ink spot on Stephen's copy.
15:24I loaned him my pen.
15:26♪
15:33This isn't the right blueprint, Junior.
15:34You wait here for me.
15:36♪
15:46Couldn't mind your own business, could you, copper?
15:48♪
16:03Oh, Junior?
16:04Are you sure?
16:05I saw it.
16:06The man hit him.
16:07We'll be right down, Junior.
16:08What's the matter?
16:10Dixon's over at the shipyard.
16:11Call headquarters and ask them to send help.
16:13♪
16:15Main, 4-100.
16:18Main, 4-100.
16:50♪
17:08All right, pull away.
17:10♪
17:40♪
18:10Hey, Clancy!
18:11Look out!
18:12♪
