00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00Hi, what do I want?
00:01:25Brandy, sir.
00:01:26Right.
00:01:30Well, what's the matter?
00:01:36Do I look funny or something?
00:01:41Might it not be well for you to cut down on the drink a little?
00:01:46Am I bothering you?
00:01:47Not particularly.
00:01:53Where are you going?
00:01:53See that knockdown to the gun?
00:01:55Now, wait a minute.
00:01:57Don't start telling me my business.
00:02:00You're taking a big chance, Bundergast.
00:02:03Those temple notch dancers are high-caste Hindu girls.
00:02:06And attention from anyone outside their own caste
00:02:08is apt to result in his disappearance some dark night.
00:02:12You mind your own business and keep out of my affairs.
00:02:15Come on, old fellow.
00:02:16Let's be toddling along.
00:02:17Well, hey, take your hand off me.
00:02:18Who are you pulling?
00:02:20Just run home and sleep it off.
00:02:21There's a good chap.
00:02:22Just for that, I'm going to have another one.
00:02:25You've had more than you can carry.
00:02:27Getting drunk in this country is a good way to get into trouble.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:31Here.
00:02:31Here, what?
00:02:32Don't you call me.
00:02:45Hey, why don't you look where you're going?
00:02:49He's supposed to be an archaeologist.
00:02:51But the only thing he's discovered so far
00:02:52is the dancer Shondo over at the Kela Temple.
00:02:54Ha, ha, ha.

00:04:23What am I'm looking for?
00:04:24Why has it's not playing one of Kela's little one?
00:04:27Well, I, I didn't mean to kill the little beast.
00:04:29He jumped on my shoulder as I came into the temple and I struck him with my crop.
00:04:32Why camest thou here to defile our temple by thy presence?
00:04:35Well, the temple's open, isn't it?
00:04:37Take your hands off me, you swine tyrant.
00:04:40Thy speech is as profane as thine acts.
00:04:44That's it. Tell my fortune.
00:04:47And find out what these dogs will suffer when the governor hears about this.
00:04:52Through the sacred eyes of Kali,
00:04:54I see the sahib has been sent by learned men to our country
00:05:00to wrest from our monuments and temples
00:05:03the history of our wisdom and the history of her past.
00:05:08The sahib has deceived those who sent him.
00:05:13He seeks not the wise men, but their gold.
00:05:18Ere he leaves Asia, his pocket shall be filled to overflowing with bright gold.
00:05:24The gold shall not be his, but he will not scruple to take it.
00:05:29Knowing that on every rupee shall be written the curse of Kali.
00:05:35The devil sahib, we may not punish thee, but Kali will not forget.
00:05:43Sometime, somehow, somewhere, Kali will mete out justice.
00:05:49It is said,
00:05:51I'll show you what I think of you and your curse.
00:06:09I'll show you what I think of you and your curse...
00:06:29Oh, no...
00:06:33Oh...
00:06:36They might have killed you sahib and they will kill me when the finder will
00:06:57they shan't find you shanda how did you happen to be in the temple I had
00:07:01departed from the temple after the dancing ceremony but when I knew the
00:07:04sahib was in danger I went back to help you how did you know that I was in
00:07:09danger my people feel the troubles of those they love
00:07:27that's very interesting it was almost 20 years ago mr. Ellis a proceed professor
00:07:34father my colleagues here and in England finance this expedition I that is
00:07:46mrs. father and I put this Prendergast in charge he understood that the backers
00:07:54were to share in the glory or the profit that might result they're all I'm to the
00:08:03point don't be so long-winded control yourself you know I I can't see a thing
00:08:11without my glasses well why don't you put them on I'm afraid I left them at home
00:08:17oh they're in your pocket stupid don't be a third hire sir and you want me to find
00:08:25this Prendergast is that it I have found that is mrs. Potter and I have found this
00:08:32Prendergast it seems that I was out shopping one day last week and my
00:08:37attention was attracted to a Hindu woman who gave her name to the clerk at
00:08:41mrs. Prinn now I put two and two together and did a little snooping mrs.
00:08:46Potter means investigating I said snooping and I certainly mean snooping and what
00:08:52did you snoop I mean find out that this mrs. Prinn and her husband live on a big
00:08:58estate in the suburbs this mr. Prinn is an invalid in a wheelchair and he's
00:09:03attended by an English nurse do you believe this mr. Prinn really is
00:09:08Prendergast I know it any man would need more than 20 years and a pair of
00:09:14paralyzed legs to fool me and you both want to share in this Hindu treasure is
00:09:19that it certainly well naturally it would strengthen our position if I were to
00:09:25act as attorney for all the investors have you the names and addresses of these
00:09:29people by any time ah I have it you're crazy I have the cranial fissure on
00:09:37homo neanderthal is an endemic aberration I find it if I kept on
00:09:44that's the absent-minded creature that I've been living with for 35 years and now
00:09:54he'll spend the day in the museum among the mummies and when he comes home
00:09:57tonight he'll tell me he lost something and if he does I'll crown the numbskull
00:10:02with a poker here is the list of the investors it is correct except that some
00:10:09of them have died but you get in touch with all of them except the dead ones
00:10:14thank you good-bye good-bye
00:10:38before we begin I should like to check over this list and see if the remaining
00:10:42investors or heirs are all present Mrs. Potter and Professor Potter I know
00:10:47Mr. John Armstrong right I'd like to get this over with as soon as possible I'm in
00:10:53the insurance business and I have a couple of hot prospects for this
00:10:56afternoon we shan't keep you long Mrs. Armstrong Mrs. Geraldine Carfax yes I'm here
00:11:02although I did have to get off my deathbed to get here you see I suffer so from
00:11:07indigestion and my blood pressure is so low I'm in the insurance business won't you
00:11:13read over our new policy we have a new disability clause no one will ever be
00:11:18able to cure you but the spirit I beg your pardon but I don't believe I've had the
00:11:25pleasure Stella is my companion and I never go anywhere without her you see I have
00:11:33fainting spells due to my operation let's get out of business mr. David fell I'm here
00:11:44say maybe I can even know thank you very much now you ladies and gentlemen represent
00:11:51the remaining investors or as of the investors of the Prendergast archaeological
00:11:56expedition I I should like to know what that is Mrs. Potter and I should like to know what became of
00:12:03the English investors there were two of them and they died six months ago suddenly and very
00:12:10mysteriously mysteriously they were murdered Scotland Yard is still investigating the key
00:12:18that's neither here nor there have you seen this friend person yes Mrs. Potter I have he
00:12:24admitted his identity and explained that he changed his name to friend for personal reasons he informed
00:12:29me that he would be very glad to see meet the investors and discuss the settlement on certain
00:12:35conditions and what conditions mr. Penn will explain all the conditions tomorrow night he wants to
00:12:41have you all at his home at 8 30 well if you meet me here in my office at 7 30 we can all go out
00:12:48together okay I'll be here and incidentally while I'm gone I wish you'd look this policy over I
00:12:54shan't be able to go my dear I must be at the museum they're going to unwrap the mummy of Ramesses the
00:13:01fourth listen you worm you will be at mr. Penn's house tomorrow night and forget all about the
00:13:08Ramesses the fourth or I'll make a mummy out of Potter the first Ramesses I used to smoke him well I beg your
00:13:16pardon professor I'll keep my head if you don't mind take your own hat although I ridicule the whole
00:13:29thing as an ancient superstition I came to know that the priest was right suddenly in the dead of the
00:13:40night I hear the soft poundings of the tom-toms grotesque shadows appear on the walls great hairy hands
00:13:53press on my throat strangling strange my health has been destroyed
00:14:09and as you see I'm a helpless cripple all these years I've wandered over the globe seeking
00:14:24someplace where I could find peace but nowhere in this world can you escape the curse of Kali
00:14:35finally I went back I wanted to return the treasure to the temple but the priests wouldn't take it they
00:14:51said it was a curse I've often thought of the original investors in the expedition and I wanted to give
00:15:05them what was rightfully theirs I was afraid that the curse would be carried on to anyone who had any part of the treasure
00:15:17finally I went to England and gave two of them their share within a month both of these people had been farmers
00:15:35then I knew I was right that the curse of Kali would extend on to anyone who possessed any part of the treasure
00:15:51I realized my days were numbered so I came home back to the United States to spend my last days in the country of my birth
00:16:18fantastic fiddlesticks you're so afraid of apes and monkeys Mr. Prenn what have you got that one for I had an obsession several years ago that I might conciliate Kali by being good to the animals that were sacred to him I made large endowments to zoological gardens for the care of monkeys and that one
00:16:46and that one I raised and kept with me until he died
00:16:52there was no use Kali would not be appeased this is all very interesting Mr. Prenn but I should like to know when we are going to get our money when you've learned to appreciate the curse that goes with it just what do you mean by that I'll give you all your shares on one condition
00:17:14on one condition that you come here and live in this house with me for a week and learn what happens to the possessor of it
00:17:21why this is absurd it's just a scheme to cheat us out of our money pay me my share immediately or go to court about it
00:17:31Mr. Fells it will take you much longer than a week to get the money by litigation my terms are really quite easy
00:17:39Shanda is an excellent cook and I've engaged a new maid
00:17:49I suppose you're going to tell us that's one of your eight ghosts
00:17:54no the phenomena I've been describing is not as easily explained as what you've just heard
00:18:01that's a plumber putting in a new heating system
00:18:05I consider Mr. Prenn's condition very reasonable
00:18:08and as your attorney I suggest that you comply with it
00:18:11well I sincerely hope that you'll take Mr. Ellis' advice
00:18:16and if you do I'll expect you anytime tomorrow
00:18:20wait a minute Mr. Prenn
00:18:22we have a right to know where that money is
00:18:25it's here in this house over two million dollars in gold and jewels

00:19:15I feel terrible
00:19:17you know all this excitement has brought my nervous indigestion again
00:19:21well they say that's the beginning of the end
00:19:24oh don't be silly Stella
00:19:27well my grandmother felt just like that five minutes before she died
00:19:31well don't be looking there the money isn't hidden in here
00:19:36oh I've read in stories that the best way to hide anything is to put it in the most obvious place
00:19:41it's probably locked up in the safe down his room

00:29:27Oh, don't be absurd.
00:29:29It's moving.
00:29:30Turn up the light.
00:29:31Where's the switch?
00:29:32Over by the door.
00:29:34What is it?
00:29:35What's the matter?
00:29:36Mr. Carver!
00:29:37She's dead.
00:29:38Maybe we could revive her.
00:29:39I don't think so.
00:29:40Her neck is broken.
00:29:41This is the kind of thing that's haunted me for years, and it will end only when I'm
00:29:55in my grave.
00:29:56Oh, what do you think we should do, Horatia?
00:29:59Get Ptolemy III and get out of here.
00:30:01Mr. Volker Hondas was right.
00:30:03Wait a minute.
00:30:11Where did you come from?
00:30:12Outside.
00:30:13What are you doing in here?
00:30:14Same as everybody else, I guess.
00:30:16Well, what were you doing outside?
00:30:18Looking inside.
00:30:19No.
00:30:20Why were you outside looking inside?
00:30:22I was trying to get a line on the thief.
00:30:25What thief?
00:30:26The guy that stole my monkey wrench.
00:30:29I think this is a bug house.
00:30:31The house is all right.
00:30:32It's the people that are in it.
00:30:33You're right.
00:30:34The first thing to do is to send for the police.
00:30:37What can the police do?
00:30:39Maybe they could find my monkey wrench.
00:30:42Nobody can solve this mystery but Pocahontas.
00:30:46Never heard of him.
00:30:48Say, this Pocahontas is the one that caused all this trouble.
00:30:51As far as I'm concerned, you can take her right back and sit her down in her wigwam.
00:30:56Oh, that woman.
00:30:58There you are, folks.
00:31:04Now you can see what confronts us.
00:31:06Death is just around the corner.
00:31:08Have yourself insured.
00:31:09Take out one of our new $20,000 policies.
00:31:12Easy payment.
00:31:25Don't let nobody in or out.
00:31:28Let's just bring a tears up.
00:31:31Don't?
00:31:32Yeah.
00:31:33I don't know.
00:31:35Let's turn them on.
00:31:37Or something altre beliefs.
00:31:38Call me
00:31:52That is prohibition.
00:32:22There's been a murder committed here.
00:32:27Who did it?
00:32:28That's your business.
00:32:31Listen lady, Inspector Pickens of the Homicide Squad, don't take no lip from nobody.
00:32:36Horatia, I'm being insulted.
00:32:38Sir, I'll let you know this is my wife.
00:32:41All right, your apology is accepted.
00:32:44Who owns this joint?
00:32:46My home.
00:32:48These people are my guests.
00:32:50My housekeeper, my name is Prenn.
00:32:53All right, Prenn, how did it happen?
00:32:55We were having a say on, when Miss Carfax was strangled by the ape.
00:33:03The ape?
00:33:04No, not this one.
00:33:06This is a stuffed ape.
00:33:08Stuffed what?
00:33:09Stuffed ape.
00:33:15Hey, you.
00:33:16Where are you going?
00:33:17To get a drink of water.
00:33:19Don't try to leave the house.
00:33:22And that goes for everybody here.
00:33:25Well?
00:33:26It's a long story, officer.
00:33:29Well, make it a short story and...
00:33:32Now, officer, you know as much about it as we do.
00:33:37Hindus, tom-toms, apes, haunted houses.
00:33:43Say, are you sure this seance wasn't a sleigh ride?
00:33:48I'm sure I don't understand you.
00:33:50I've got it.
00:33:51All right, what do you got?
00:33:53The phenomena connected with the frontal development of the orangutan must be indigenous to all the anthropoids.
00:34:00Gosh, you have got it.
00:34:03Wait a minute.
00:34:04Where are you going?
00:34:06To the zoo.
00:34:07Well, sit down.
00:34:08You're in one right now.
00:34:10Sit down, Horisha.
00:34:11Pipe down.
00:34:12I've given the orders around here.
00:34:14Boyer.
00:34:15Yeah.
00:34:16You go out and search the house on the ground.
00:34:18If you see any apes or anything that looks like monkey brinders, bring it in here.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:22You go out and watch the back door.
00:34:23Don't let nobody out.
00:34:37Don't do that.
00:34:40Is the coroner gone yet?
00:34:42Yeah, he took the body with him.
00:34:44No apes?
00:34:45No apes.
00:34:46No apes.
00:34:47No apes.
00:34:48They took the servants.
00:34:50That Hindu woman does all the cooking and housekeeping.
00:34:52She don't know nothing.
00:34:53You know what?
00:34:54No.
00:34:55What?
00:34:56Something funny going on around here.
00:34:58I don't think that guy in the wheelchair is crippled.
00:35:01Struck me he might be phony.
00:35:03It struck me too.
00:35:04Me too?
00:35:05You go down and find out whether he's really paralyzed or not.
00:35:07Be clever about it.
00:35:08Use your beam.
00:35:09Be subtle.
00:35:10Subtile.
00:35:13Thank you, my dear.
00:35:16There, how's that?
00:35:17Is that comfortable?
00:35:18My dear, I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:35:21I really think you owe it to yourself to take out a policy the way things are now.
00:35:26We don't know when one of us are going to be murdered.
00:35:31But who would I make the beneficiary?
00:35:34Now that Mrs. Carfax is gone, I have no one left but Pocahontas.
00:35:39Well, leave it to Pocahontas.
00:35:41One thing, she won't squander it.
00:35:43I do hope all this excitement doesn't affect you, Mr. Friend.
00:35:46I think I'll live through it.
00:35:48No, no, that's quite all right.
00:35:54Any clues yet, officer?
00:35:56No.
00:35:57I'm on the Taylor one right now.
00:35:59Oh!
00:36:00Why, how dare you?
00:36:01Why did you do that?
00:36:02What is it?
00:36:03I beg your pardon?
00:36:04Me foot slipped.
00:36:05Oh.
00:36:06I don't want anybody to leave the room.
00:36:07What's the idea?
00:36:08I lost my bit.
00:36:09What bit?
00:36:10Oh.
00:36:11Just a little bit.
00:36:12Are you sure you lost it in here?
00:36:13No.
00:36:14I think I lost it in the garage.
00:36:15Why don't you go out there and look for it?
00:36:16It's warmer in here.
00:36:18What's the use?
00:36:19What do you find out?
00:36:20I found out it's paralyzed all right.
00:36:21Didn't let anybody know what you're after to do.
00:36:22You think I'm done?
00:36:23Huh?
00:36:24I was subtle, just like you said.
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:27Oh.
00:36:28Oh.
00:36:29Oh.
00:36:30Oh.
00:36:31Oh.
00:36:32Oh.
00:36:33Oh.
00:36:34Oh.
00:36:35Oh.
00:36:36Oh.
00:36:37Oh.
00:36:38Oh.
00:36:39Oh.
00:36:40Oh.
00:36:41Oh.
00:36:42Oh.
00:36:43Oh.
00:36:44Oh.
00:36:45Oh.
00:36:46Oh.
00:36:47Oh.
00:36:48Oh.
00:36:49Oh.
00:36:50Oh.
00:36:51Oh.
00:36:52Oh.
00:36:53Oh.
00:36:54Oh.
00:36:55Oh.
00:36:56Oh.
00:36:57Oh.
00:36:58Oh.
00:36:59Oh.
00:37:00Oh.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:03Oh.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:06Oh.
00:37:07Oh.
00:37:08Oh.
00:37:09Oh.
00:37:10Oh.
00:37:11Oh.
00:37:12Oh.
00:37:13Oh.
00:37:14Oh.
00:37:15Oh.
00:37:16Oh.
00:37:17Oh.
00:37:18Hey, let me hit that tiger!
00:37:26Now, that's the end of the ape.
00:37:28Hey, get a dose of his own medicine.
00:37:30The strangest nippy ape I ever saw.
00:37:35Why?
00:37:37It's not an ape, it's a man.
00:37:40Oh, my goodness.
00:37:42Fells!
00:37:49So, Fells was a murderer.
00:37:51Oh, no, it can't be.
00:37:53It has to be. You people saw an ape, and here it is.
00:37:55Yes, but Fells was at the table when we saw the ape's hands,
00:37:58when Mrs. Carfax was killed.
00:38:00Ah, you were seeing things.
00:38:02What's that smell?
00:38:04Incense!
00:38:12Now that I remember, incense was burning in a bowl behind Mrs. Carfax.
00:38:17So what?
00:38:18We caught the ape that killed Carfax.
00:38:20You forget one thing, Inspector.
00:38:21Yeah, what?
00:38:22Who killed Fells?
00:38:23Yeah, I never thought of that.
00:38:24Fells' neck was broken just like Mrs. Carfax's.
00:38:27So what?
00:38:28A creature, a superhuman strength did the killing.
00:38:30Yeah?
00:38:31Well, if it was an ape, how did he...
00:38:37Ah, so this is the way you got in and out.
00:38:39Listen, you mugs, you go and find that ape,
00:38:41and you'd be pounding the beef.
00:38:42Oh, Chief, we looked all over the joint.
00:38:44There isn't a sign of it anywhere.
00:38:45How about the garage?
00:38:46Search the ground, search everything,
00:38:47and find that TomTom gadget.
00:38:49No son of an ape's gonna make a monkey out of me.
00:38:51Come on now, get going.
00:38:53Don't come back without some information.
00:38:55Come on, outside everybody.
00:39:05Poor Fells.
00:39:06I can't understand it.
00:39:10What I can't comprehend is the reason for the monkey suit.
00:39:13I think the explanation for that is relatively easy.
00:39:16Fells was heavily in debt.
00:39:18He knew the money was in the house and made up his mind to get it.
00:39:21No doubt he got that gorilla suit when he went to town this afternoon.
00:39:24He thought that if anyone of us saw him prowling around the house,
00:39:26he'd have time to get back to his room during the excitement.
00:39:31Poor devil.
00:39:32If he'd only believed in the curse on the treasure.
00:39:36We'll all be killed one by one, just like rats in a trap.
00:39:42And for what?
00:39:43Just a few paltry dollars.
00:39:45I, for one, am leaving this house immediately.
00:39:47Horatio, get my coat.
00:39:49Nobody's leaving this joint until I solve this murder.
00:39:53Horatio, are you going to allow this Bulgarian to brown beat me?
00:39:58Sit down.
00:39:59Now see here, my man.
00:40:00Sit down.
00:40:01Oh, if I were only married to a man instead of a dictionary.
00:40:08Now listen.
00:40:10Nobody's putting nothing over on me about this ape business.
00:40:13There's a murderer in this house and I'm going to find him.
00:40:16Yes, and while you're trying to find the murderer, we'll all be killed.
00:40:21Oh, no you won't.
00:40:23I'll keep my eye on every one of you.
00:40:25I won't turn my back for a minute.
00:40:38Give me police headquarters.
00:40:41This is Pickens.
00:40:42Let me talk the corner.
00:40:45Hello, bud.
00:40:46Come on on.
00:40:47Get another body.
00:40:48Yeah, somebody croaked him when I turned my back.
00:40:52Oh, don't worry.
00:40:53With Ned Pickens on the job, there'll be no more murder.
00:40:56Wait a minute.
00:40:57Who's out of this room?
00:40:58I'm sorry.
00:40:59The insurance guy.
00:41:00He's the one I suspected all along.
00:41:01Let go!
00:41:02Help!
00:41:03Quick!
00:41:04Help!
00:41:05Help!
00:41:06Help!
00:41:07Help!
00:41:08Help!
00:41:09It's in here.
00:41:10Huh?
00:41:11Here.
00:41:12I'm sorry.
00:41:13Quick!
00:41:14The aid that went out that window.
00:41:15All right.
00:41:16What do you want to do?
00:41:17Let it get away?
00:41:18All right.
00:41:19Let's hear what happened.
00:41:20Well, I'm sorry.
00:41:21I'm sorry.
00:41:22I'm sorry.
00:41:23I'm sorry.
00:41:24I'm sorry.
00:41:25I'm sorry.
00:41:26I'm sorry.
00:41:27I'm sorry.
00:41:28I'm sorry.
00:41:29I'm sorry.
00:41:30I'm sorry.
00:41:31Quick!
00:41:32The aid that went out that window.
00:41:33All right.
00:41:34What do you want to do?
00:41:35Let it get away?
00:41:36All right.
00:41:37Let's hear what happened.
00:41:38Well, after I left Fels' room, I came in here for a handkerchief.
00:41:41The incense was burning.
00:41:42Then, all of a sudden, I heard the tom-toms.
00:41:44And the aid climbed in through that window.
00:41:46I suppose you expect us to believe that, Hoy.
00:41:48Well, what do you mean?
00:41:49Find the apes?
00:41:50Nope.
00:41:51No apes.
00:41:52What about the garage?
00:41:53Nothing there.
00:41:54Do you hear that?
00:41:55We've combed this house and grounds from end to end.
00:41:58And there's no apes around.
00:42:00You're the guy that called our attention to this incense before.
00:42:03You know what I think?
00:42:04What?
00:42:05I think you're the murderer.
00:42:07And this last gag of yours is just a stunt that throws suspicion away from yourself.
00:42:11Why, that's absurd.
00:42:12I've been listening to some of your talk.
00:42:14And I know what your purpose is.
00:42:16You're crazy.
00:42:17Yeah.
00:42:18Crazy like a fox.
00:42:19You cooked up this whole thing for one reason.
00:42:21Well, what's that?
00:42:22So as you could sell a lot of insurance.
00:42:24I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life.
00:42:26Boy, you're a clampy.
00:42:27Put him under arrest.
00:42:28And then he won't be any more in murders.
00:42:51Water.
00:42:54He's dead.
00:42:55That poco spirit sure let her down.
00:42:59How's he?
00:43:00He'll be all right.
00:43:01What happened?
00:43:02It was terrible.
00:43:03Miss Walker felt faint.
00:43:04She started towards the French window to get some air.
00:43:10suddenly the Tom Toms began.
00:43:13The ape came through the window.
00:43:16It was terrible.
00:43:22Miss Walker felt faint.
00:43:25She started towards the French window to get some air.
00:43:31Suddenly the tom-toms began.
00:43:35The ape came through the window.
00:43:40She screamed.
00:43:42He grabbed her.
00:43:46That's all I remember.
00:43:51I must have fainted.
00:43:53Well, Mr. Big Shot, I guess that lets me out.
00:44:07You can save yourself the trouble, Inspector.
00:44:10I assure you that ape is quite dead.
00:44:13It's ridiculous keeping us cooped up here like this.
00:44:17Three people have been killed already.
00:44:19The house has been reached.
00:44:21Mr. Ellis, you are our attorney.
00:44:23I insist, that is, Mrs. Potter insists, that you take means to get us out of here.
00:44:29My clients are perfectly justified in wishing to leave here, Inspector.
00:44:33You have no right to make them stay here, to become victims of whatever is going on in this house.
00:44:37You're no closer to the solution to this mystery than you were after the first murder.
00:44:41Boy, you ought to get a medal for the way you gum this case up.
00:44:45This isn't the case.
00:44:46It's an epidemic.
00:44:48Telephone.
00:44:49Telephone.
00:44:49Phone.
00:44:49Phone.
00:44:49Phone.
00:44:50Phone.
00:44:51Phone.
00:44:52Phone.
00:44:53Phone.
00:44:54Phone.
00:44:55Phone.
00:44:56Phone.
00:44:57Phone.
00:44:58Hello.
00:44:59Oh, hello, bud.
00:45:00Yeah, I'm up to my neck in apes.
00:45:02Come on out.
00:45:03We've got two bodies for you now.
00:45:04By the time you get here, it'll probably be an even half dozen.
00:45:07We'll wait for the coroner, and then we'll call it a night.
00:45:20Cigarette.
00:45:21Cigarette.
00:45:26When the coroner gets here, why, we'll take a statement from each of you as to what you did
00:45:31and saw last night, and then we'll all meet at the district attorney's office tomorrow.
00:45:37We're waiting for that door.
00:45:42Cover everything.
00:45:44Look.
00:45:45Look there.
00:45:48If it looks suspicious, let him have it.
00:45:55Well.
00:45:56Hello.
00:45:57What do you mean, hello?
00:45:58Oh, yes.
00:45:59Hello.
00:46:01Where have you been for the last half hour?
00:46:03Oh, here and there.
00:46:04Yeah, well, just what have you been doing here and there?
00:46:06Oh, this and that.
00:46:09Do you know anything about this Tom Tom?
00:46:12What's his last name?
00:46:14Say, listen, you.
00:46:15Pop out with a good alibi or I'll pinch you for murder.
00:46:18The only way that you can prove that you're not a murderer around here is to get yourself killed.
00:46:23What did she say?
00:46:24She thinks I should go out into the garden and get some air.
00:46:25Well, all right.
00:46:26Don't try to make a getaway.
00:46:27There's a cop out there.
00:46:28Who's that?
00:46:29Where?
00:46:30Where?
00:46:31Where?
00:46:32At the door.
00:46:33Oh, fire.
00:46:34They got me.
00:46:35Turn off the lights.
00:46:36Oh, there's a rich.
00:46:37Oh, there's a rich.
00:46:38Be calm, everybody.
00:46:39Be calm.
00:46:40Who's that or missing?
00:46:41Smith.
00:46:42Where's Smith?
00:46:43He's gone.
00:46:44Yeah, I figured that out too.
00:46:45Where are you going?
00:46:46I'm going to find Mr. Prenn.
00:46:47He may be hurt.
00:46:48All right.
00:46:49Inspector.
00:46:50What?
00:46:51Read this.
00:46:52Oh, there's a rich.
00:46:53Oh, there's a rich.
00:46:54Be calm, everybody.
00:46:55Be calm.
00:46:56Who's that or missing?
00:46:57Smith.
00:46:58Where's Smith?
00:46:59He's gone.
00:47:00Yeah, I figured that out too.
00:47:01Where are you going?
00:47:02I'm going to find Mr. Prenn.
00:47:03He may be hurt.
00:47:04All right.
00:47:05Inspector.
00:47:06What?
00:47:07Read this.
00:47:08What do you make of it?
00:47:09This is the second note I've had like this.
00:47:11The man who writes some evidence, he knows what he's writing about.
00:47:13And I suggest that we follow his instructions.
00:47:14Well, I should say so.
00:47:15If you don't value your life, I value mine.
00:47:17Say right.
00:47:18No, you're not.
00:47:19I'm not.
00:47:20I'm not.
00:47:21I'm not.
00:47:22I'm not.
00:47:23No, I'm not.
00:47:24No, I'm not.
00:47:25No, I'm not.
00:47:26No, I'm not.
00:47:27No, I'm not.
00:47:28No, I'm not.
00:47:29No, I'm not.
00:47:30No, I'm not.
00:47:31No, I'm not.
00:47:32No, I'm not.
00:47:33No, I'm not.
00:47:34No, I'm not.
00:47:35No, I'm not.
00:47:36I'm not.
00:47:37I'm your life.
00:47:38I value mine.
00:47:39See, remember this is a frame up of yours.
00:47:40Pickens will be right with you.
00:47:41Clancy, go out and find Penin and that Hindu woman.
00:47:44And tell him I want him at the district attorney's office tomorrow.
00:47:47And make it emphatic.
00:47:48Tomorrow.
00:47:49Emphatic.
00:47:50Wait a minute.
00:47:51What about Ella?
00:47:52Uh, Miss Browning.
00:47:53We can't go out and leave her here alone.
00:47:54Oh, fiddlesticks.
00:47:55She's lived here long enough without getting into trouble.
00:47:57Let's get out of here.
00:47:58Yeah, I want to meet this Scotland Yard guy and get the lowdown.
00:48:01Maybe it's an Englishe.
00:48:04And the district attorney wants to see us as soon as we get through here.
00:48:09There's almost time for Scotland Yard to put in an appearance.
00:48:12I bet this is all just a scheme to get us away from the friend house.
00:48:16I've been doing some thinking.
00:48:18And it's going to take more than an old coot of an ape to make me give up my share of that money.
00:48:23It's too bad that ape did attack me.
00:48:25Yes, it is too bad.
00:48:27What's that?
00:48:28If he had, I have no doubt of what the outcome would have been.
00:48:34I didn't see her.
00:48:36I didn't see her.
00:48:38I can't believe her.
00:48:40Uh!
00:48:58Uh!
00:49:04Why, Ella, dear, where are you going?
00:49:10I'm leaving, Mr. Prant.
00:49:12Leaving?
00:49:13What for?
00:49:15I'm afraid of what's going on in this house.
00:49:18There might be more murders.
00:49:20I don't think so, my dear.
00:49:22Now those other people are gone.
00:49:25Why, you think they had something to do with the murders?
00:49:29One of them did.
00:49:31I'm quite sure of that, my dear.
00:49:33But what about the ape?
00:49:34I've come to believe that the ape was an obsession of mine.
00:49:40Brought on by brooding for years over that foolish curse.
00:49:44Please don't leave me.
00:49:48I don't know what to say, Mr. Prant.
00:49:50You know, there's...
00:49:51There's something I've wanted to talk to you about for days.
00:49:56But I hesitated because...
00:49:58Ella, darling, I wanted to ask you to be my wife.
00:50:05Chounder.
00:50:07Why, no, dear.
00:50:08She's just my housekeeper.
00:50:10You know, she's been brooding a great deal lately.
00:50:13And I think she's terribly homesick.
00:50:17And I think I'll let her go back.
00:50:19There's no hurry.
00:50:22Take your time and think it over.
00:50:25Well, uh...
00:50:26In the meantime, please don't leave me.
00:50:30And after all, my dear,
00:50:32a brave little nurse doesn't run away from her dizzy.
00:50:37All right, Mr. Prant.
00:50:39I'll stay.
00:50:41I think I'll go to bed now.
00:50:43All right, my dear.
00:50:44Good night.
00:50:44Scotland Yard.
00:50:49Oh, well.
00:50:53The plumber.
00:50:54You, the man from Scotland Yard?
00:50:57Yep, I've seen him before.
00:50:59He's the McCoy, all right.
00:51:00Scotland Yard.
00:51:02Incredible.
00:51:03Scotland Yard first became interested in the case
00:51:05when two people were killed in Friend's house in London.
00:51:08The case baffled the Yard officers in London,
00:51:11and they came to believe implicitly
00:51:13that the Hindu curse was behind the murder.
00:51:16Nonsense.
00:51:17That's what I thought.
00:51:18And when I was assigned to the case,
00:51:19I found out that Mr. Prant was having a new water system
00:51:22installed in his house.
00:51:23That's how I became the dumb plumber.
00:51:26Have you solved this mystery yet?
00:51:27I have.
00:51:28Then why didn't you tell us about it last night
00:51:29and prevent the murders?
00:51:30Because I didn't solve it until after the murder.
00:51:33As a matter of fact,
00:51:34we haven't any actionable evidence yet.
00:51:36We must trap the ape and whoever's behind him.
00:51:39That's why I asked you to meet me here.
00:51:42All right, let's hear the story.
00:51:43Well, we're not all here yet.
00:51:45We must wait for Miss Ella Browning.
00:51:46But you didn't say anything about her in your note.
00:51:49She wasn't in the room when I left.
00:51:51One of you would have had to tell her,
00:51:52and the walls at the Prenn house have ears.
00:51:55I left a note in her room.
00:51:56She should be here any minute.
00:51:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:51:59I'd have gotten her out of there.
00:52:00I don't care for this whole set-up.
00:52:13Uh, Chander.
00:52:14You know, I don't think you've been looking at all well lately.
00:52:19You think so, Saheb?
00:52:21Yes, I was thinking that, uh,
00:52:24an ocean voyage might do you good.
00:52:27How do you think you'd like a trip back home?
00:52:30Will the Saheb go with me?
00:52:32Oh, well, no.
00:52:35No, you see, Chander,
00:52:37I have a lot of important things to attend to here.
00:52:40Do you wish me to go alone?
00:52:42Yes.
00:52:43Well, that is, you can go on ahead,
00:52:45and as soon as I clear things up, I'll join you.
00:52:49Very well.
00:52:50Well, that's a good gal.
00:53:22Not bad for a cripple, eh?
00:53:27My people have taught the Saheb many threats.
00:53:31You know, I have to laugh
00:53:33when I think how we fooled all those saps
00:53:35with the curse of K-Li.
00:53:39K-Li, old kid.
00:53:42You're all right.
00:53:44Come on, Chander.
00:53:46Drink a toast to K-Li.
00:53:49K-Li, my pal.
00:53:52Here you are, to K-Li.
00:53:57Who knows nothing.
00:53:59And here's to K-Li,
00:54:01who knows everything.
00:54:03Well, here's to both of them.
00:54:05I'll stick to them.
00:54:06Long may they wave.
00:54:07Yes, sir, K-Li, we certainly fooled them, didn't we?
00:54:16Well, that old priest of yours
00:54:18spouted all that junk about a curse.
00:54:21He didn't know I'd have a chance
00:54:22to make good use of it someday, did he?
00:54:24Come on.
00:54:25Ready?
00:54:30Here, there.
00:54:35You...
00:54:36.
00:54:51.
00:54:56.
00:54:57.
