Thanks for watching!

Ladies and gentlemen, the world's most famous illusion, the disappearing lady.

But first I want to show you that this cabinet is entirely solid.

Solid sides, solid backs, solid floors.

And now I'm going to ask my assistant Valerie to step inside the cabinet. Here

she is, Valerie.

No, madam. She's still there

And

now the young lady

will return

It's a pity to say goodnight Because I never saw a star so bright But if

you've got to go home, you've got to go home Give me a goodnight kiss It's a

pity to say farewell Because the man in the moon won't tell But if you've got to

go home, you've got to go home Give me a goodnight kiss How's about

tomorrow night, just you?

And me.

I'll be waiting for you people.

Second show begins at three.

It's a pity to say adieu.

It's been a pleasure to sing for you.

I hope you've had a good time.

I hope you've eaten and drunk yourself.

No good night.

kind of you, my dear?

Not at all.

It's a pleasure.

How's business?

Not so good.

But it is early and things are looking up.

Do you want a drink? Thank you.

I haven't seen you here before, have I?

I've been around, but there's always a first time for everything.

Let's hope so.

Gin and tonic, please.

Would you like a cigarette?

No, thank you.

That's not one of my weaknesses.

You must tell me what are sometimes.

Well, it's rather funny you should say that, because actually I have just a

of... You've been here long?

Well, yes, quite a while.

Of course, I used to be an actress, you know, but I found things so difficult

to... Yeah, it must be very difficult.

Were you around with that unfortunate accident, Alan?

Well, yes, that was only a couple of weeks ago.

But actually, that was no accident, you know.

That girl was murdered.

No, don't tell me that. Are you sure?

Look, when she got into that cabinet, somebody was waiting around somewhere

a gun.

And I'll bet you... Well, go on.

Well, actually, we're not supposed to discuss it.

See you later, huh?

City. Getting quite excited.

Mr. Steve!

I'm delighted to see you again. Major, so am I, too.

Welcome back to my club. May I? Please.

Your client is a great success. I'm delighted to hear it.

Venus, the evening star.

I may even consider extending the bookings.

The business has been terrible since that poor girl was murdered.

Such a tragedy. I expect you'll read about it. Yeah, I saw something about it

the paper. Oh, the police were everywhere.

First they closed us all together.

Then when they did allow us to open again, there were no customers until

arrived. And here she is again.

Oh, well done, my dear.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll leave you to talk.

Now, you promised not to take her away.

It is a surprise. What are you doing here? Candy, are you saying? What else?

bet you say that to all the big successful stars.

You know, I still hardly believe it. One minute there I was, out of work, and

the next night it rings me up to tell me to come here.

Funny thing is, even he doesn't seem to know how the booking came about.

Just got a phone call out of the blue.

Really, isn't it? Never questioned the mistress of fate, my dear. What'll you

have? Nothing, thanks. I've still got some more work to do.

I went around to a friend of yours the other day. Who?

Somebody you knew a couple of years ago when you were at the YWCA in Victoria.

Kathleen Sutherland, remember?

Oh, yes, I remember.

Her father was a bigwig in the army. He's a semi -infant now, but NATO has

fit to bring him out of retirement and give him a job as a technical advisor.

Well, Kathleen's looking after him, a bit lonely.

Don't you go along and see her, huh? Oh.

Poor Kathleen, of course, I'd love to go and see her. Good.

How's life here, eh?

What are the girls like? You know, all they ever talk about is the murder and

the aching feet.

Oh, I heard about that, the murder. Isn't it awful?

I can't understand anyone wanting to kill a girl like that. She was so

everybody seemed to like her. Who's taking her place?

Denise. If Jerry's very lucky to get her, you wouldn't get me going anywhere

near that cabinet.

What actually happened?

Well, during the magic act, there's a complete silence except for a roll of

brush. Just before she reappears.

Now, if I wanted to shoot her, first of all, I'd need a gun.

What about the noise?

With a silencer, of course. Oh, of course. She could shoot it from almost

anywhere in the club.

I bet it would be very interesting to take a look at that cabinet, because if

she was shot while she was in there, there's bound to be a hole in the wood

somewhere where the bullet passed through.

That's true.

Are you sure you don't want a drink, my dear? Oh, no, thanks. I'll get ready to

do some more work. Will you be so?

Well, I'll hope to, but if I don't, I'll look by and say goodbye.

Don't forget.

Major, who's the girl over there?

Oh, that's Denise.

Oh, she's the new magician's assistant.

She's very attractive, I thought. But of course.

Nothing could be easier.

Denise?

Denise, I'd like you to meet Mr. Steve.

Oh, I'm very pleased to meet you.

How do you do? Will you have a drink? No, no, no, this is on the house.

Nina?

Now, you two enjoy it. Excuse me.

Sonia. None for me, then.

I'm always a little nervous before I do a show.

So you're the new magic act? Mm, yes.

How about this cabinet?

Is that the same one they used originally?

When that silly little girl got herself killed? Yes, it is the same.

If that is all you are interested in, why don't you go and have a look at the

cabinet for yourself? It's backstage.

Is it really?

Thank you, I will.

Sir, gentlemen, the position is clear.

Three detachments to be moved by the end of March.

Got that?

I'm thinking of your armoured units, P .D .S. It means moving them right today.

Got that?

Now we come to the question of transport.

Hello.

Found any bullet holes there? No.

You're right, Mr. Depp. I haven't found anything yet.

I think if there had been any, the police would have found them long ago.

Oh, yes, I suppose so.

But if there aren't any bullet holes in the cabinet, she must have been shot

when she got out.

When did she get out? How does this thing work? Well, there's a trap in the

dance floor up there, you see, and when she gets in the cabinet and closes the

door, it automatically releases the lift, which brings her down inside the

shell of the cabinet. It's dead easy.

Dead easy, but it works.

This place gives me the creeps.

You know, I could hear someone talking before you came along.

Really? What'd they say?

Well, I couldn't make it out very clearly. Something about three

armoured units.

And this man kept saying, Gortbert.

that, just like a schoolmaster talking to a class of backward kids.

I don't hear any mysterious voice.

Well, it stopped now.

Who do you think it was?

I've no idea.

I'm afraid I can't stay to the show. Now, there's Kathleen Sutherland's

Good luck.

Thanks.

Kathleen!

Kathleen!

Where the devil is everybody?

Oh, too, Jackson, while you're here, fetch me a brandy, will you? Yes, sir.

help me through this door. Oh, I'll be out, sir.

You can't have brandy, Father. You know it's not good for you.

I will not be told what I can or cannot do by you or anybody else. If I want a

brandy in the morning or the afternoon or in the middle of the night, I shall

have it. Got that?

Yes, Father.

Now, if you'll just lean forward, I'll fix your... Stop treating me like an

invalid. I'm not ill.

No, Father. I tell you, I'm not ill.

Now, look, that wound in my back is a permanent injury.

No doctor or quack will do anything whatsoever about it.

Why, I guess I get a bit irritable and overstrained at times. I've got a heavy

load on my shoulder.

There's nothing wrong with my general health.

You admitted that yourself.

I never said there's nothing wrong with you.

What I have said time and again is that doctors can't help you. I can't argue

with you.

Look, Father, all you have to do is to see that man I told you about.

Never mind whether or not you agree with his method.

Greater things have been done by faith and by all the medicines in existence.

Faith? But Dr. Gulland's a good man.

He can take away the pain and the suffering.

and transfer it to himself because he's such a good person. Oh, rubbish,

Kathleen. I wish I could make you understand.

He's dealt with hundreds of cases, and because they put themselves completely

his hands, he's cured them.

Once and for all, Kathleen, I will not have that man in this house. Got that?

Yes, Father.

You seem almost there today. Yes.

Where the devil's a fellow got to? You should have been here ten minutes ago.

Yeah, we are, General.

Approximately nine and a half minutes late. I'm very sorry.

Well, good afternoon, Miss Sutherland.

Good afternoon. Well, let's get it over with and start beating me to a pulp

again. Hold tight then, General, and here we go.

This is 168.

May I have Roebuck?

9291, please.

Thank you.

Oh, may I speak to Dr. Gallant, please?

Kathy and Sutherland.

Thank you.

Dr. Gallant.

Look, I think you ought to come again, please.

It's about my father.

Quite a nip in the air today, eh, General?

Still, anything's better than the snow, that's what I always say.

Missed my number nine bus again this morning. I'd like to meet the joker who

makes them line up in bunches of six. They're not another one for half an

Steed. What do you know about faith healers?

Faith healing, General?

My daughter's been hoodwinked into believing that I should put myself in

hands of some faith healer. Well, I'm not really qualified to talk about it,

there is something in it, you know. If a patient refuses to be healed, no amount

of medicine will help. But take a psychosomatic disease, for instance.

Now, there's a disease in which the symptoms are self -indu... I'm so sorry,

General, self -induced.

Are you suggesting that my injury is self -induced?

Ah, not for one moment.

But if your condition was serious, it might take a psychosomatic condition.

Talking about it would help.

You mean I should confide in you?

Oh, we may, sir, observe the strictest confidence.

Now, when I was at NATO headquarters the other day, there was quite a lot of

talk in the air about, uh, official secrets.

You mean you listened to gossip there?

Oh, I wouldn't call it, uh, gossip, you know, General. No.

Leakage of information.

Hmm.

Yes, well, uh, we'll stop there for the day. That'll do.

Well, not quite up to it today, gentlemen.

There we come. Take it easy.

There's your jacket.

Keep warm.

That's fine.

There's your scarf, sir.

Now, let's get you really... Oops, oops. A steady ship is a safe ship.

There we are, sir. Young man.

Yes, sir.

If there were a leakage of information...

I should be committing a grave indiscretion if I discussed it with you.

Oh, of course, yes, sir. Now, hold tight and... Are you ready?

Ah, good.

Will you join us, Steve?

Oh, thank you very much, sir.

Oh, one second, thought, sir. I think a bit of getting home takes me all of an

hour. Don't want to miss that number nine bus again, eh?

See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon, Miss Sutherland. Very well, then.

Thank you very much.

Good afternoon.

The fellow's got a mania about bodies.

Ah, and who is this?

This is Venus Smith. Venus, this is my father. How do you do? How do you do?

we met at the YWCA. It must be a few years ago now. Yes, oh, it's nice to

you here, my dear.

Well, you two will have a lot to talk about.

Look, Kathleen, just pour me out a cup of tea and send it into the study, will

you? I've got a lot of work to do.

Well, let me take it through for you. And only one lump.

Got that?

I didn't know that.

I didn't expect you back so soon.

Well, I'm surprised to find you alone.

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't you know?

I thought you knew everything, Mr. Genius.

I don't know why you bother to work in this place knowing what you know. Now

off, will you?

Oh, you're so clever.

You make everybody else look like idiots.

I said lay off. Except me. I am no idiot and I'm not going to be wished around

anymore. Look, supposing you just stop nagging and tell me what's on your mind.

She's very attractive, isn't she? Who?

Henriette, of course.

Yeah, she's all right.

I suppose that means that I'm all wrong.

Well, you're wasting your time. She isn't even interested in you. Then why

the words out?

Because they're not going to sit back while you throw yourself at some other

woman. At least Valerie didn't live long enough to know what sort of a rat you

are.

Just what do you mean by that?

Supposing I were to tell the police that you weren't quite so heartbroken about

Valerie's death as you seem.

They wouldn't look too good, would it?

Why, you dirty little... Listen.

What's going on?

Nothing. I just noticed they're over.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. I had no idea anyone was down here.

What a fascinating room.

Do all these things belong to you, right?

Yes, they may so. Well, I enjoy making the props.

Did you build the disappearing cabinet as well?

Yes.

Ines? I want to talk to you for a moment about our rehearsal.

Yes, well, what have we got to rehearse? You come up on stage. I'll show you

what I mean. You'll see.

All right.

Not everybody knew.

You what?

Jerry!

What's happened?

He's after that girl Henriette.

Oh, don't worry. It won't last. I don't care. I'm going to teach him unless

anyone forgets. Stop.

I'm going to give him a shock. I'm not going to do the act anymore.

Now, look, Venus.

I want you to go on in my place.

Me? In my cabinet? Oh, no, thank you. Look, it's easy. I'm sure you have work.

Oh, I know how it works all right, but don't forget a girl was killed in that

thing. Oh, it's easy.

I don't want to go in there. There's nothing to be afraid of.

That's her, my dear.

I'm showing Denise how the cabinet works. She's gone in there and got down

the litter when I opened it. Take it easy. Come on, show me.

Now, let's have a look.

I was going to think the police would never go.

Yes,

I wonder who told them that I quarreled with Denise.

Yes, I knew I'd be suspect number one.

Well, look, I didn't do it.

Steady on, dear boy.

No one is accusing anybody.

But who am I going to get to do the act with me?

It might be a little difficult.

I've got to have someone.

Venus.

How about you?

Oh, now I think... Come on, you know how it works.

Well, yes, but... Ah, good, I knew you'd do it. Just a minute, old boy. She

hasn't said anything of the kind.

Do you want to do it?

Please.

All right. Thank you, Venus. You're a real sport.

All right, then. I suggest you both go home and rest before the show.

See you later. It's been quite an afternoon.

I'll get my coat.

Nobody's got any reason to want to murder me, have they? Of course not.

By the way, I've got something to tell you. You know, last night at the club, I

told you I had a voice.

Well, I found out who it was. Who?

General Sutherland.

You know, I said the man kept saying, got that, got that. Well, that's an

expression that the general uses. He was nowhere near here at the time. But I

tell you, it was him. I heard him. Come on, then. And here's your coat.

Thanks very much.

There we are.

You know a man called Gallum, a doctor?

Oh, yes. He treats some of the girls in the show. He's always hanging around

here. He has out some kind of magic box.

That's him. Goodness knows what's inside it. Some sort of healing thingamajig.

You know, cosmic rays and all that.

You carry it around with you all the time, and the vibrations are supposed to

cure you, or so they say.

I'd rather like to meet him. Do you think you should arrange it? Yes, I

think so. So the girls have told you about his wonderful healing powers. You

have a friend, very rich, very ill, very sorry for himself.

The hypochondriac millionaire.

Me.

Oh, yes. My father's working. Good.

I have the new box prepared.

Here it is.

I'm sure this is the answer.

You followed my instructions.

Oh, yes.

It was near him all the time.

Good.

Then before very long, you'll begin to notice a very great improvement in your

father. He seems much more comfortable already. If that is just the preliminary

radiation, when his body becomes used to the proximity of these rays, he will

respond very much more quickly. I can't tell you how grateful I am. It's so

wonderful to feel absolute confidence in him. I understand.

You know I have a lifetime's dream.

I would like to run a clinic where suffragette comes secure from outside

distractions and harmful vibrations.

It's to this end that I work. Not if I can help it.

Father, this is... You've disappeared by orders, Captain. Kathleen, General.

You're doing your best to turn me into a laughingstock. Father, please let me

explain. Don't trouble yourself. Show this gentleman out of the house at once.

And you, sir, don't you ever set foot in this house again. Got that?

Father, you've no right to behave like that. We're both doing the best we can

help you. For the last time, show this man out.

I think it will be best. Get out!

You hear? Get out!

childish of you.

Whatever your own prejudices may be, it doesn't give you the right to insult my

guests.

Understand this.

I will not allow you to entertain that man under this roof again. He is not

going to treat me.

He's not going to attempt to treat me. The fellow's a charlatan.

And that is the end of it.

Good evening.

Can I help you?

I hope so, Doctor.

I hope so.

May I sit down?

I feel a trifle giddy.

My name is Packer.

Of course.

Miss Smith made your appointment, but it was for six o 'clock. Time means

nothing to me. If I started counting the hours, I should become morbid.

Oh, yes.

Miss Smith said you are unwell.

Miss Smith.

It's a very strange sense of understanding.

I'm a chronic invalid.

You've seen another doctor?

Dozens. They're all fools. Some of them suggested there's nothing wrong with me.

It was all in my imagination.

One even went so far as to prescribe healthy exercise and a plain diet. Some

doctors are most unsympathetic. Now, could you give me details of your

Incurable lassitude, occasional slurps of dizziness, acute internal disorders

after heavy meals, and above all, an indefinable crushing sense.

Well, it's not, as it were, in tip -top condition.

I understand, Doctor, that you can work miracles. That is true. I would like to

help you. But you must help me.

Life isn't horrible to me. Now, if it's a question of payment, I can pay you...

No, no, no, it's not that. I have a mission in life. I'm here to help

You don't charge at all. How do you live?

I only ask for money if the cure is successful.

And then only for the amount necessary for research and materials for the cure.

Materials? Yes.

At all times, my patients must carry a small box, which I give them.

The box contains a complicated and finely balanced arrangement of minerals

each works in conjunction with its neighbor, together producing radiant

vibrations of such a nature and intensity as to override completely any

disability.

This balance can, of course, be upset, and to guard against this, I have to

the boxes. I see. Then this is the best treatment for me. It doesn't involve

exercise or diet or anything nauseating like that. Well, it's not.

Quite that simple. I can't just hand over one of these boxes without making

quite sure that you are a suitable patient.

See, these boxes are very difficult to prepare.

And once prepared, they must not be disturbed by anyone but me.

Now, if I decide that you are a suitable patient, I shall prepare one of these

boxes with the necessary minerals and have it delivered to you. Now, the

address?

The address, please.

I've recently returned to this country.

I'm trying to find a hotel without dross, without intolerable central

and above all, with absolute quiet.

No traffic.

No whistling page, boys. I'm beginning to find it quite impossible.

Perhaps I could send it to Miss Smith?

How thoughtful of you.

Now, I shall need some details of your medical history. I'm very grateful to

you, Doctor.

I'm in your debt.

Good morning, Miss Biddle.

You're a bit early. Yes, I got to work this morning.

Oh, don't work too hard, will you? Oh, well, what is this?

What's that? Box of chocolates from an unknown admirer. Oh, sir.

Good morning, Mr. Weston.

Hello! Oh, yeah.

Yeah?

I see.

Whatever's inside it, I want it kept intact.

Don't open it. But I already have.

Well, what is it?

Nothing of the least interesting. Just a box with bits of wire and metal.

And glass tubes with something that looks like sand in them.

Look after it safely. I want to see it. I'll be with you as soon as possible.

It is very important.

I want it delivered to Dr. Gallam.

And I want it to get there before this evening. It's very important.

Yes, madam. Can I deliver it, Miss Sutherland? I'm going into town, and I

Dr. Gallam. What?

That'll be all for now, Mary, thank you. Yes, madam.

Have you been spying on me?

Of course not, Miss Sutherland. No, I've been in need of medical attention once,

and I went to Dr. Gallam as a patient.

What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to help your father. Can I deliver that letter for you, Miss

Sutherland? No, thank you. I'll do it myself.

Very good, Miss Sutherland.

Mr. Steve, I'm only trying to help my father. I'm sure you are, Miss

Come in.

Hello there.

Oh, what do you want?

I wanted to have a word with you about your friend, Mr. Thackeray.

Oh, what about him?

It appears that he's not an honest man.

He's trying to discredit me. My wife.

Oh, really?

You're not surprised?

After a couple of years in show business, I'm not easily surprised.

But I believe what he told me. Why shouldn't I?

Didn't you know he was a doctor?

No, I didn't know that.

Well, he is.

And he's out to make trouble for me.

What do you mean?

Thanks to your folly, my whole life's work is in jeopardy. I'm sure it didn't

mean any harm.

In future, if you recommend anyone to me, Be more careful.

And you better tell Mr.

Steve not to interfere in my business again.

Hello, darling.

All ready? Yes.

Come on, let's do what we're about.

I hope not.

Let's go.

Good evening, Nina.

Good evening, sir.

A large brand.

Well, hello there.

Well, hello there.

How about buying me a little drink or something?

Well... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

It's cabaret time again.

We're very fortunate in having with us that internationally famous magician,

man who even mystifies the magic circle, Gerald Weston!

Ready at the left of me, yes.

Abbott? It should be.

No, thanks.

Don't worry.

I'll keep an eye out for you.

Thank you.

By the way, Dr. Gallam's been to see me.

He told me to tell you not to interfere in his business.

He thinks you're a doctor.

Professional journalist, sir.

Something like that, yes.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask, with the help of a young

lady from the audience, someone you all know very well, Venus.

Good evening.

And now I'm going to ask Venus to step inside the cabin.

will have disappeared.

But with a touch of oriental magic and a dash of western charm, voila!

Glad to have you back. Oh, I'm glad to be back.

Tell me something. Did you hear any funny voices down there? No, nothing

the time you were there before.

You still say it couldn't have been General Sutherland? Don't see how.

I'm sure it was.

What about the package from Dr. Gallagher? Where did you put it?

Oh, it's in my dressing room.

Well, we're going to have a look at it. But first, to your safe return.

Cheers.

Jerry, hurry up. I'm starving.

What are you waiting for?

And where will it be tonight, madam? The Ritz again, I suppose.

Jerry.

I don't like this little box very much.

Oh, I know it's got nothing inside it, nothing that makes any sense.

But all the same, I can't help thinking that, well... It's full of murder, eh?

Yours or mine. How did I know it would work?

Then you ought to come back to see it. I want to see what's inside it.

It's quite easy, you know. You rig up a booby trap.

When we move the box, can't wait holding the lift. It goes and... finger. When

you saw the box, did you know? Not exactly. I half -guessed when I saw the

Do you really think it was meant for one of us? No.

Cheer up.

No, I think it's meant exclusively for me. Dr. Gallam knew that I was trying to

expose him. He had to stop me. But that is going a little far. Unless the stakes

are very high, he probably makes a small fortune after selling all those little

boxes.

Oh, but wait a minute. He wouldn't take any money when you offered it to him,

would he?

No.

Something else besides money concerning Dr. Gallam.

Father?

They're waiting for you, Father.

Why should I be?

I'll do your cushions for you.

Now I'll take you in.

Thank you, my dear.

Yes, dear?

Yes, Father?

Are you going out?

I was going out, wasn't I?

I'd like to talk to you when I come out of the conference.

I shan't be far away.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Yes.

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

Could you ask her to wait for just a moment, please?

Please come.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

You've brought the box? Oh, yes.

The box and my check.

You understand, this is only for immediate expenses.

I wouldn't consider accepting any more money until your father was completely

cured. How is he, by the way?

He seemed a bit depressed today.

Is he working hard?

Yes, conferences mainly.

Well, it's always conferences.

Had another one this morning.

Oh, yes.

I'm glad you called. I meant to phone you. I'm afraid I gave you the wrong box

last time. It wasn't completely recharged. I wonder if you could let me

back. Well, it's with my father now.

It could undo all our work. When could you let me have it? This afternoon.

I have to go out.

What about tonight?

Yes, this afternoon.

Perhaps you could meet me.

I have to see a patient about eight o 'clock.

Here.

For Germany?

We could have dinner together.

Well, that would be very nice.

Until tonight, then.

Goodbye, then.

Goodbye, sir.

Steve!

Steve!

Well, there's never a back when you want him.

Yes, General, you were calling. Yes, I did. Come in.

I want a word with you, young man.

Anything I can do for you, General?

I think it's high time you came out into the open.

What are you up to here?

This business of a matter is just a cover, isn't it? You're quite right. I'm

checking your leakage of information. Now, this letter of instruction will

you why it was necessary to keep my cover completely secret from all ranks

long as possible.

I see.

Sit down.

I'd very interest you to learn that I've just received information that I'm to

be relieved of my post.

I suppose you had a hand in that. You're being relieved of nothing to do with

me. And perhaps you'll tell me how it is that no question of this arose until

you came here.

Coincidence. Coincidence? I find that very hard to accept.

I'm only secure with security.

Security?

Are you suggesting there's anything lax in the security arrangements, sir? I'm

afraid we must come to that conclusion.

It's fairly clear that someone in this house is passing on secrets as fast as

they learn. Now, those are things only in the information of people in a

position of trust. But no one escapes the most thorough screening here, as you

well know yourself.

Do you mind if I have a word with Miss Sutherland?

My daughter.

I'm not suggesting she can tell us anything. We can't take any chances. I

to ask her one or two questions. There are some things she might be able to

clear up for me. Yes, please. I think you'll agree we have to check every

possibility.

Well, you'd better get on with your job.

Out of my hands.

Steve,

if there's anything you want, you know where to find me.

Thank you, sir.

Nina, give me a drink, for goodness' sakes.

I can't stand any more battles.

Good evening, madam.

Oh, good evening. I'm Miss Southern. I have an appointment to meet Dr.

Gallagher. Yes, of course, madam.

This way, please.

It's delightful.

It's delicious.

It's lovely.

I understand the reason why you're sentimental. Well, so am I. It's

delightful. It's delicious.

It's lovely.

You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for us.

Good evening, Miss Sutherland. waiting for someone?

Well, I don't see there's anything to do with you. It's not a fact I am.

Somebody's birthday?

Will you please mind your own business? I don't think we have anything to do

with you. You're waiting for Dr. Gallam, aren't you?

Did my father ask you to follow me? No, but this does concern him.

Well, look, Mr. Steed, I am determined that he shall be cured, and by the

methods I believe in. It has nothing to do with his health, but his reputation.

His reputation?

I don't think you chose this rendezvous for a discussion with Dr. Gallam.

Well, no.

A little white box.

Yes.

May I see it, please?

Look.

If I was able to prove to you that Dr. Gallen was a pro, would you believe it?

I could never.

May I see it, please? It may affect your father's entire future.

Thank you.

You mustn't open it.

There.

Now, do you think this tape... recorder has healing properties.

That's how Seacrest was leaving your house.

But that can't be the box I had before. I'm afraid it is.

All the goods he gave you were like that.

Now, where have you been putting them?

Well, Dr. Gallam said they were to be kept near the patient. I found them in

back of Father's wheelchair.

They were with him wherever he went. How did you come to meet Dr. Gallam? Did he

approach you?

No.

No, he met at the dinner party. But he must have impressed you.

He did.

Look, are you sure about this? I can't believe it.

Take that home and lock it up safely.

I'll collect it later.

Mr. Steve.

You do believe me, don't you? I was only trying to help Father.

Ladies and gentlemen, I need the assistance of a member of the audience.

I wonder, madam, would you care to step up? Yes, you, madam. I wonder whether

you'd come up here.

No, I have to go. Oh, come along. There's nothing to worry about.

After all, I'm only going to make you disappear.

What's a little vanishing trick between friends?

After all, our charming volunteer has very sportingly agreed to put her life

into my hands and step inside the cabin.

What's going on?

I think I ought to talk to you.

But of course.

Let us go in here, my dear.

We're getting killed. Please let me go. Please.

All right.

All right.

Let's hurry. Don't worry. It'll only take a second to transmit the whole of

this.

That's far enough, Steve.

Turn around.

Get down. Don't handle it.

Get down.

You won't mind if I... Are

you

all right? Yes, I will be in a moment.

Dr. Callum's out there.

He's armed.

What? Stay here.

No, I'm a gun, eh, Mr. Steed?

You'll be all right.

Oh, please.

Steed.

I'll be very safe.

Never mind.

Jerry's job was the radio transistor.

Right. And Denise and Valerie were probably murdered because they found out

Jerry wasn't just a magician.

Yep. Perhaps they even heard the general's voice on the tape recorder,

I did, remember?

Maybe. Cheers.

Well, obviously, Gallagher was the murderer. I mean, Jerry was on set.

I think I'd forgotten all about Jerry.

But I didn't.

Police picked him up.

Oh, that's good.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh! And then there's Kathleen putting all those little boxes down in the

chair like that. And all the time they've got tape recordings.

Shall we dance?

Yes, all right.

You know, I think we made a dreadful mistake. We should never have let on to

Gallant that we knew what he was up to. Then we could have fed him all sorts of

false information, you know, and an entire roundtable conference with all

generals and admirals and everything, you know.
