Good evening, everybody.

This is Mark Mendes and his music broadcasting from the majestic Hotel Bergen.

Our next number will be, Oh, Don't the Wind Blow Cold.

Thank you, Mark.

Oh, hello.

Is that you, Mark?

Strickland speaking.

Good news for you.

I got you a youth player.

Yep.

He's a first class man.

His name's Bill Norman.

Who?

Norman?

Norman? Oh, the fellows with Cortez. That's swell.

Leon? Yeah, what a terrible business.

No, no, no. The police are absolutely baffled.

The gun must have been fitted with the silencer.

How soon can Norman get here?

He's selling on the marmoset tonight.

Maybe you can send one of the boys down to meet him.

Yes, yes. Slim will go and meet him at the docks.

Okay, that's fine.

Well, Colonel, let's settle.

Winnie?

Ginger up that call to Bill Norman.

You're sure he's an absolutely reliable man?

Colonel, have I ever let you down?

On the contrary. Intelligence is deeply inundated to him.

Hello, hello. Strickland speaking.

Is that you, Bill? All set to sail?

Fine. Hold the line.

Colonel Hargett wants to speak to you.

How do you do, Mr. Norman?

I understand Mr. Strickland has explained the importance of this job.

Our agent in Bergen will contact you as soon as you arrive,

and I'm sending my assistant, Conway, to see you on board tonight.

Dover Harbor Station, nine sharp, under the clock.

Yes, sir, I'll be carrying my Uke case.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

Better get going, Conway.

Yes, sir.

So long, Mr. Strickland.

So long.

Well, what's it all about this time, Colonel?

Don't tell me you've got something on the great Mindy's.

He's the chief Nazi agent in Bergen.

A British subject spying for Hitler?

Born in Hamburg.

A very dangerous man.

He's collecting information about merchant shipping and passing it on to U-boats.

Never.

How do you manage to tip them off?

Well, that's what Leon was trying to find out when Mendez killed him.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Well, I must be going.

Goodbye, and thanks very much.

Nor a bit, Colonel.

Anything, anytime.

Yes?

Central Pier Blackpool, sir.

They want a concert party to open Monday night.

Well, we've got one to send them, haven't we?

I don't think so, sir.

Yes, we have one.

Here.

Here we have the dinky-doos.

They arrive at Dover tonight.

Go down and catch them before they split up and send them up to Blackpool.

What, me?

Go down to Dover tonight?

In the blackout, sir?

Yeah, better go at once.

But, dear, I've made all arrangements.

It's my night for ARP.

Here's a quid.

Take her with you.

But I...

Go on.

Mind you back there, please.

Mr. Stationmaster, I'm looking for the dinky-doos.

First door on the left, sir.

No, no.

They're Mr. Strickland's concert party.

Concert party.

Oh, they came in a quarter of an hour ago, sir.

That way.

Thanks so much.

My wife and I go on the Bergen boat.

What use is one berth in one cabin for me and another berth in another cabin for my wife?

She gets sick, what do I do?

I'm sorry, sir, but the boat's full.

I will not permit my wife to be party for me, sir.

If we are sick, we must be sick together.

I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot help you.

Excuse me, are you a dinky-doos?

She is not.

She's a respectable married woman.

Go away.

Well, here we are, boys and girls.

Home sweet home.

There's no place like home.

I wouldn't bear if we could say it.

Oh, say you were the dinky-doos.

Well, we were.

Bless my soul, it's Sibby.

How are you?

We're here.

Oh, thank goodness.

Mr. Strickland sent me down.

He's got you a date up in Blackpool.

Opening on Monday.

Blackpool Monday?

Yes, you've got to go straight up there tonight.

Now, are you all here?

Yes, I think so.

Well, let's see.

Alf, Parker, Mabel, Gladys, Hepplewhite.

Where's Hepplewhite?

Wait.

Oh.

Turned out nice again, hasn't it?

So that's the lot, then.

If you'll all come to the refreshment bar with me, I'll give you all your tickets.

Hey, hey, hey.

Alf, I believe we don't want to lose you.

Give us your hand.

Here, you take mine.

Ted, you take Mabel's.

Then we'll all keep together.

Give me your hand, George.

Quick.

Oh, it's cold.

That's not my hand.

It's my ukulele.

Hey, wait a minute.

I've left my bike.

Don't go.

Wait a minute.

Wait for me.

I can't find it.

Where's my bike?

Be careful, darling.

Here, let me go first.

Give me your hand.

Hey, look, Alf.

Please, mind what you're doing.

Well, I can't find my hand.

Are you all right, dear?

Come on.

There we are.

I've got it.

Give me your hand.

Oscar.

Yes, dear?

Someone's got hold of my hand.

It's all right, darling.

It's me.

No.

My other hand.

It's a strange man.

What?

Please, let go of my wife's hand.

Leave off, Ted.

This is no time for kidding.

Give over, Gladys.

This is my wife.

How can Gladys be your wife when you're already married?

That would be arson.

It's not Gladys.

Look for yourself.

Hey, you're right.

It isn't Gladys.

I beg your pardon, Miss.

She just thought you were a dinky-do.

For the second time, she is not a dinky-do.

And leave go of her hand.

Oh, oh, so you'd strike me, eh?

No.

Police.

No, I'm not.

Police.

I didn't know anything.

You're joking me out of them.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Police.

Police.

Police.

Police.

Police.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Police.

Oh, now, sir.

You have never set eyes on me before, have you?

No, I've never.

You've never seen me before.

No, I remember your face now.

Allow me, sir.

What do you be here?

A musical instrument in case.

I put it on the table so.

I cover it up with the old school tie.

And I've passed the fluence through it.

Now then, watch me closer, ladies and gentlemen.

I have nothing up my sleeves.

Not even a shirt.

Voila.

Now, sir.

Open your keys.

What have we here?

And there I do, ladies and gents, from his grandpa who fell into Waterloo.

Or was he King's Cross?

14 and 6, George.

Good work.

She's leaving in five minutes.

I'll see to the heavy luggage and meet you on board.

Who's that?

A chap from Strickland's.

Oh, of course, you haven't heard the glad news.

Freddie Strickland's booked to Central Pier Blackpool.

We open Monday.

Go on.

That's right.

We've got to get up there straight away.

Here, but it'll take a long time to be trained.

Going by boat, old boy.

The railways have all been commandeered by the Ministry of Information.

Oh, fancy no trains.

In fact, didn't you hear that chap say he'd meet us aboard?

Oh, yes, I did.

Come on, boys and girls.

We can't keep the Queen Mary waiting.

Five o' tuppence, please.

Your turn to push the boat out, George.

What, the Queen Mary?

No, you're round.

And, George, bring my bags along.

There's a pound.

Well, wait for me.

Five o' tuppence, please.

Here, what's this?

A trouser button?

Trouser button?

Well, I'm good to our house.

I've gone and given that port a sixpence by mistake.

Goodbye.

Just a minute.

Oop.

Oop.

Oop.

Oop.

Oop, what's to do?

I thought you were never coming.

We must hurry.

She sails in a few minutes.

Are you the chap from Strickland?

Sure, my name's Conway. Afraid you won't have a very comfortable voyage. She's packed out.

Oh, I don't mind. It's the job at the other end. I'm looking forward to it. Sounds champion.

You'll have quite an exciting time. I'll bet I will.

You'll find Mary Wilson a grand person to work with.

I've got to work with a woman? Of course, didn't you know?

She'll contact you when the moment you arrive.

See, fancy that. What do we do? The usual croft dark act?

Oh, certainly. She'll say to you, do take early morning tea.

Your reply is, no thanks, just a glass of orange juice.

Nobody will think anything funny about that.

It's perfectly safe. Now, remember, she'll say, do you take early morning tea?

Then you'll give her the answer.

See what? No, just in time.

Here's your ticket.

Have all the other runaway?

It looks like in here. This is your expense. It's 75.

70 quid?

Goodbye. The best of luck to you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr.

How can you take a black bull rock?

This is your cabin, sir. Madam's is over here.

But this is absurd.

The man with whom I share must go and sleep in my wife's cabin.

Well, I bet that'll be okay with him if the missus don't object.

Idiot. My wife will come into number six with me.

But you can't shove the gent in here. What about the lady in the upper berth?

It's all right, Oscar. I shall be quite safe.

Well, if you are disturbed, darling, call for me. Good night.

Good night.

Good night, sir.

Eh? Oh.

Here you are.

Thank you, sir.

Good night.

Good night.

Now, Thompson.

Yes, sir.

There will only be one lady, number nine, upper berths cancelled a passage.

Very good, sir.

You better tell the lower berths husband.

I think he'll want to move in with her.

Yes, sir. I'll tell him.

In the morning.

Anything I can fetch you, sir?

Not feeling well, sir?

No.

Ah, that's what they call a grand swell.

How'd you suffer, sir?

I had it, but I haven't got it now.

Bob, are you sure I have to have a light in your cabin?

Shall I help you down to it, sir?

Oh, must you?

Well, I can't bring the cabin up, sir.

Can't you?

I could.

You'll be all right when the moon comes up.

Oh, what's that going to come up to?

What's your number, sir?

What's your number, sir?

Nine.

Oh, that's half, sir.

Where's Aftam?

I'm a stranger on this ship.

This way, sir.

Oh, I'm not sure I have to have a light in your cabin.

I'm not sure I have to have a light in your cabin.

Shall I help you down to it, sir?

Oh, must you?

Well, I can't bring the cabin up, sir.

Can't you?

I could.

Ha.

You'll be all right when the moon comes up.

Oh, what's that going to come up to?

What's your number, sir?

Nine.

Oh, that's half, sir.

Where's Aftam?

I'm a stranger on this ship.

This way, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you the gentleman who ordered a Welsh rabbit?

No.

No.

Have you always read?

What?

Only reading, please.

Yeah.

Don't tell diamonds.

Never.

I don't know.

Anyone else near your boyfriend?

Wow, can you�?

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Come in.

Who's there?

It's me. What do you want?

Open this door.

Who's up there?

Oh!

Open the door!

I'll break it open.

You can't come in.

You can't come in.

There's an idiot.

I'll break it open.

Oscar!

You're the man again!

I'll break it open.

Oh, I've got to get out.

What can I do?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Your turn.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I beg your pardon.

mercy.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Peel me.

Gangway.

Gangway.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Come by you.

I'm out of the way.

Please.

Sir, we've been doing this.

Why are you up?

No, you're up.

No, you're up.

You're up.

Gangway!

Gangway!

Let me take your bag, sir.

Thanks.

I can't run faster without him.

Which is the way out?

Can't go into the customs, sir.

Customs?

What fancy customs?

I love me.

I love me.

I love me.

This way, sir.

Excuse me.

There's a lot of foreigners about.

Yes, sir.

You've got all kinds in Bergen.

Yes.

What?

B-B-Bergen?

This is Blackpool.

No, sir.

Bergen.

Yes, sir.

Bergen?

Oh, mother.

I've got to get back.

Tell the captain he's got to take me back to Blackpool.

I'm a dinky-doo.

Mister, look.

I've got the wrong boat.

I've got the wrong luggage.

And I'm in the wrong place.

Right.

Oh, please ask the captain if he'll take me back, will you?

We'll take you back, sir.

But you've got to go to Iceland first.

Iceland?

Oh!

I'll get me death a cold.

You are undone?

Yes.

No, but I will be undone if I don't get back to Blackpool.

The key?

It doesn't belong to me.

It's Mr. Arbuckles.

Yes.

That is nice.

Have you anything to declare?

No, nothing.

Nothing, eh?

Look!

See a class.

Ah, joke, eh?

Yes.

No.

Explain, please.

Hey, look.

It's empty.

Oh!

What is this?

Open, please.

Me?

Open?

Please.

I was afraid of that.

See?

Look.

Nothing in it.

I will see for myself.

Yes, go on.

There's nothing in it.

You have a look.

Bonjour, eh?

You give me the bird, eh?

No.

I didn't know it was there, mister.

Also, you did not know this was there.

And this.

And this.

And this.

A lot of nothings, eh?

Well, it isn't mine.

It belongs to Mr. Arbuckle.

And where's Mr. Arbuckle?

I don't know.

Perhaps it's in here, too.

And what's this?

And this?

Tobacco, eh?

No.

I don't know what it is.

Then I will test it and see it.

No.

You must know it belongs to Mr. Arbuckle.

Give it to me.

He assaulted my wife.

Most disgraceful behavior.

And I want him arrested.

There he is!

Officer, arrest that man!

Get out of me!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

Oh, there you are.

In here.

Oh, thanks!

Stop that THACKY!

Now what's the hurry?

I don't know what a pally you've been to me?

Not at all.

himself with. Mark Mendes sent me to meet you. Who? Mendes. It's Mark Mendes. Yes, you're Bill

Norman, aren't you? No, I'm George Applewhite. You see, what happened was I got in the wrong

cabin well earlier. Well, if you're not Bill Norman, what are you doing with that uke? I play it. I'm a

dinky-do. You're a dinky-what? A dinky-do. You know, the dinky-do's concert party when on our way to

Blackpool for the season. Well, what are you doing here in Bergen? One of Strickland's chaps put me

on the boat. Well, he did, did he? Yes, well, I didn't know you. Oh, I see what happened. Strickland

was sending Mendes a new uke player. Unless he couldn't get Bill Norman, he sent you instead.

Well, me? Well, I'm not that good, but I've never played with anybody as good as Mark

Mendes before. Well, if you've got anything, your fortune's made. Oh, here we are. You go

in and register, and I'll explain to Mr. Mendes.

Ah! The morning! Oh, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon. I'm sorry, let me walk. Oh, oh!

I'm sorry, I beg your pardon. Oh, how do you do? Good morning, sir. We've

a room reserved for you on the first floor. How did you know I was coming? You're Mr.

Mendes, new ukulele player, aren't you? Yes, that's right. That would me probably. I'll be here.

Mr. Strickland sent you, didn't he? Yes. Fancy you knowing all that. Do you take early morning tea?

If you want me to. I said, do you take early morning tea? Yes, sweet. I mean, for lumps.

I've just seen Mendes. Oh, yes? What did he say? He wants to hear what you can do.

What now? Yes, the boys are rehearsing. I'll take you along. Oh, please.

Darling, here, let me go first. Oh, good morning, missus.

One bedroom for myself and my wife. One, you understand? One!

Yes, sir. Will you register? Rita, will you take over for a minute? I just want to write a note.

Let's take the last minute bars again.

Well, didn't I tell you? Oh, look what I've found in my ukulele case.

Meet me tonight after the showroom 64. M.

Well, I don't know anybody in Bergen. You don't, eh?

Oh, who? M.

Well, that's from Mendes, of course. Mr. Mendes?

Sure. Room 64, that's where he signs his contract. Is it really?

Yes. Oh, fancy. Twenty-five quid.

Well, why should Mendes come and send? Come on. Come on.

Oh, they need you. Hurry up. Hurry up.

I'll come in.

I'll have them orchestrated and put them in my next broadcast.

Thank you, bye.

Three merchant ships and the Newcastle Bergen boat.

Tomorrow night's broadcast.

Look at this one.

Well, what about it?

Heppelwhite found it in his ukule case.

He doesn't know a soul in Bergen.

Hey, someone's tried to contact him. Undercover.

Maybe this was meant for Norman.

They didn't know this boob had turned up instead.

If he is a boob, he might be another British agent.

His passport will tell us that.

How?

Microscopic sign on the photograph.

A British agent's used for mutual identification.

Get hold of it.

By force?

Oh, dear. Fascination.

Park yourself in room 64.

If anyone comes in but Heppelwhite, it's our friend M.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Hello.

Oh, beg your pardon, I thought this was room 64.

So it is. Come and sit down, won't you?

Thanks very much. I've come here to meet Mr. Mendez.

Oh, well, I think I'd better wait outside. I'm frightened I might break my contract.

You're not scared of me, are you?

No, I'm scared of me.

Nonsense. Then sit down.

Well...

Do you care for one night of love?

Mother!

What's the name of my perfume?

Nice indeed.

I'd better not sniff any more, there won't be enough left to go round.

Will you put some behind your ears?

No, I can't sniff behind me unless I jerk my head round quick.

No, you tickly don't.

Oh, there, now you've made me spill some on your coat.

Let me rub it off.

No, stop it, it tickles.

Oh, how strong you are.

Do you think so?

Do you know what they say about me back home?

I've got the eyes of an hawk, the strength of a fox, the speed of a hare, and the brains of an ox.

Hey.

I've got that wrong somewhere.

You must be strong.

I've never seen a man with such broad shoulders.

No, I don't suppose you have, but most men have the shoulders up here.

Oh, yes.

But the muscle would go right down here.

My bicycle, muscle.

Now, go where you're tickling me, you cheeky-fasca.

Go.

That's where you're tickling me.

Well, there.

Well, there, now.

I'm going to fall.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here.

Go, go, go.

Hey!

I'm going to fall.

I'm out of here.

What's the matter, dear?

Look.

Look.

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here.

You!

I'm out of here.

You, step in your way.

I'm out of here.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

You, again!

So you throw shillings at me, now!

I will get her I'm out of here.

Oh, beg your pardon.

Oscar, it's that man, again!

Oh!

Oscar!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Huh? Another one? What sort of a hotel is this?

You picked a fine time to play around with your girlfriend.

Me? No, you're wrong. I don't want the hotel to think that I was...

I never met her before this morning.

Fast worker, eh?

No, it was her. She wouldn't let me alone. She's had her eye on me ever since I came here.

I wonder if she's working for Mendy's.

Of course she is. Didn't you know?

I see. You are a fast worker.

Now listen. I've discovered the secret of Mendy's success.

You see...

There's nothing clever about that. It's his music, of course.

So you've tumbled to it, too.

And I thought I'd been smart.

It's as plain as the nose on your face.

Oh.

No, I didn't mean that. Yours is a nice nose.

And I like your face, too. Yours would be a nice face even without a nose.

Never mind that, love.

It was Leon who first got on the track.

He noticed that fresh U-boat sinkings followed each of the Mendy's broadcasts.

U-boats? Mendy's?

Poor old Leon was killed the day after that.

Killed? Well, I...

Now, look here. Will you let me finish?

I realized then that Mendy's must be using a musical code to send his shipping information to the U-boats.

And that's where you come in.

You've got to get the key to that code.

Me?

Well, the British Intelligence Service didn't send you out here to twiddle your thumbs.

British, intelligent, but I'm not intelligent. I'm a dinky-doo.

A what? But you're Bill Norman, aren't you?

No. I'm George Applewhite. There's been a mistake.

But if you thought that I was, then you must be a...

You're not a young lady at all. You're a British spy.

Oh.

Fancy, I didn't know they had spies like you.

Oh, what a colossal fool I've made of myself.

Aye, what a muck-up I've landed myself in.

But now that you know, you've got to keep quiet about this. Promise?

Cross my heart.

I'll go further than that for you, miss.

How far would you go?

As far as you like.

You would?

Yes.

Splendid. You realize, of course, this is dangerous work.

Yes. What?

Mendy's is a killer, but once you've got the key to his code, we've settled his hash for good.

Oh, well, perhaps I'm not the right chap for the job after all.

Scared?

No, I'm not scared, but my mother wouldn't like me to get mixed up in anything underhanded.

I thought so.

I don't suppose you would see anything underhand at all in Mendy's sinking a lot of unarmed merchant ships.

Oh, yes, I do, but you must understand that...

Well, you can blame yourself if your mother has to go without her breakfast bacon for the rest of the war.

Mother, when I...

Goodbye, Mr. Hebblewhite.

Just go on playing your ukulele while other people's ships go down.

Yes, but I...

Blame it.

I'll tell her.

Soz, you're coming in here as cool as you like, treating me like a piece of dirt.

Who does she think she is?

Secret agent.

Mendy's a German spy.

Tell it to me, I'm funny.

Don't it just seem a bit funny, that fella sending me upstairs?

I'm not going to get myself bumped off like the other fella did.

She can get bumped off if she wants to.

Fat lot, I care.

Hmm.

Nice girl, too.

As bad as you can't keep a civil tongue in her head.

I feel sorry for her.

And no bacon for my mother's breakfast.

It's a shame.

It's a downright crying shame, that's what it is.

More than flesh and blood can stand.

What was it, she said?

If I got the key of the code, I'd settle his ash.

She couldn't call me a coward if I got that for her.

I'd be a hero.

There'd be medals and things.

Arise, Sir George Applewhite, B.C.

Who's afraid of that snake, Mendy's?

Me, no, sir.

I'll say, come on, Mendy's, you rat.

Hand over the key of the code if you don't want me to blow the brains out of you.

Oh, me afraid of him.

I'll show him whether I'm afraid or not.

Look out, Mr. Mendy's, here I come.

What the devil do you mean, breaking into my room without knocking?

Well, I was thinking I might...

I'm sorry, Mr. Mendy's.

Well, now you're here, what do you want?

I want the key.

Key?

Well, the broadcast tomorrow night, I want to know what key it's in.

Is that all you've come here for?

Well, it's Mr. Mendy's.

As it happens, you can have it.

It's finished.

Thank you, Mr. Mendy's.

No, that's not it.

I thought I could do a bit of practising.

Here it is.

Straightforward stuff, and I want it played note for note.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mr. Mendy's.

You know, twiddly bits of your own.

Yes, sir.

No, Mr. Mendy's.

Now, hop it.

I'm busy.

Thank you, Mr. Mendy's.

What are you waiting for?

It's this music.

It's a bit difficult.

Now, don't give me that stuff.

Hand it over.

Well, I haven't got it.

I haven't got the hang of it.

Well, what's difficult about it?

That.

That's four bars rest.

That means you're tacit.

I myself.

Oh, get out, will you?

Get out!

Yes.

That was it.

That was it.

I'll bet me bottom dollar that was it.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

I'll bet you.

Oh!

Hey, water in this bin.

Hey, water in this bin.

Stop it.

My inside's coming out.

Oh, I can't stop it.

Oh, my stomach's inside out.

Here.

We're out.

Reach out.

Come.

Here.

You've got your leg out.

Righto.

Half a move.

I'll scrape you down.

Oh.

We're out.

We're out.

We're out.

We're out.

We're out.

Hold it down.

Hold it down.

I'm gonna try it down.

Thanks, Bill.

Thanks, Bill.

Come on.

You're out.

Come on.

Go.

It's it. It's the key, right enough.

Are you sure?

I'm certain.

Let's have a look.

I can't see.

No, I can.

Them funny lines, what do they all mean?

It's as simple as ABC.

You see all those squares, each mark with the letter?

Yes.

Well, letter means place.

And see those numbers at the bottom?

They mean time.

Oh, we've done it.

We've done it.

We've got old Mendes where we want him.

Beg your pardon?

Yes, but we've got to find out how he sends the letter and the number to the U-boats.

Oh, yes.

So we have.

Where's that music Mendes gave you?

It's over here.

Play it?

Play it?

I can't.

Why not?

Well, it's written for different kinds of instruments.

Play what you can of it.

Will you hold it?

Go something like this.

How's that bit go?

Well, that's for trumpets.

I can't blow down a uke.

Try it.

Try and blow.

Now, here's a bit for three trombones.

Play it?

Play it?

Do I look like three trombones?

Play it, please.

All right.

Now, play the trumpet bit again.

Wait a minute.

H.

Play the last bit again.

Six.

H-six.

What does that mean?

Believe it or not, it's Commodore Garden Morse.

See for yourself what H-six means.

Hold up.

H is a square halfway between Norway and Aberdeen.

That's right on the course of the Newcastle-Bergen line.

And six is 3.30 a.m.

George, we've got it.

Have we?

When the trumpets and trombones play that break into tonight's broadcast,

it's Mendy's message to the German new boats,

telling them that in square H at 3.30 a.m.

there'll be merchant shipping to be sent to the bottom.

Oh, I'd like to get my foot on Mendy's square H.

Clear the first bit of all again.

Wait a minute.

Ac-ac, that's the call signal, meaning stand by.

Well, what does this bit mean that I play?

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta, ac-ah, that means end of message.

You know, you are a clever young lady.

Let's look again.

Well, let me help you.

I'll hold it still.

I can manage.

Well, I won't bother then.

How are we going to stop Mendy's broadcasting?

We're not going to...

Stop him broadcasting.

What, no, stop...

We're going to let him go on.

Oh, but you...

Mendy's tells the U-boats where to go by means of this musical code.

Yes?

Suppose the Admiralty get a copy of that code.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh!

And then how are these tribes can go where Mendy says and wait for the U-boats?

And then?

Well, at Mrs. Duckett, your mother's want to book it.

Yes, yes, yes.

What?

The new number you played last night was not a success.

I have to tell you we have lost three of our best customers.

Three?

Well, it's impossible.

Our competitors have learned the trick of writing numbers such as this.

It is your fault.

I will visit you later.

That was Schwartz.

He said three U-boats were sunk last night.

He thinks the British have got hold of the code, and he's right.

If little George is the wolf in sheep's clothing after all, then I'm surely temple.

It's as plain as a pike staff.

What is?

They're using Hepplewhite, and he doesn't know it.

A toucan play at that game.

Scapellamine.

Scapell... what?

You remember the trials in Moscow, and their confessions?

Uh-huh.

Scapellamine?

Is that the drug they used beforehand to make them talk?

Right.

Go and find Hepplewhite, Slim.

Sure.

Oh, wait up.

Four coffees and send them up to my room.

Certainly, sir.

Make it three.

Little Georgie panics at the sight of me.

I've been in the papers.

Three U-boats, sir.

Very good, sir.

I'll have them sent straight up to your room.

Eh?

Oh, beg your pardon.

Sorry, Mary, I didn't...

Now, listen.

This is urgent.

You've got to...

As I said, sir, I'll have them sent straight up to your room.

Yes, and about time, too.

Any more sauce from you, and I'll report you to the manager.

I am the manager, sir.

Yes.

Eh?

How dare you be impertinent to a guest.

I'm very sorry, sir, but...

Don't answer back.

Take a week's notice.

Oh, you can't do that.

You'll muck up everything.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Well, I mean, it's her old mother.

She has to support her.

Eh?

And besides her mother, she has a lot of little children.

All of her own.

It's all my fault.

I mean, if she gets married, she'll have a lot of little...

Don't sack her, Mr. Manager.

Very well.

But more careful, Miss Wilson.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

Listen, you've got to get away from here now.

Away where?

Back to England.

If Mendez finds out about us, he'll stop at nothing.

Here's your ticket.

It's the SS McCauley.

Sales at nine tonight.

Your key, madam.

But I can't leave you on the job by yourself.

Thank you, sir.

My job's nearly finished.

I'm expecting orders to leave.

Well, I'm not leaving without you.

There you are, George.

The boss wants you.

Me?

Yes.

Mendez?

Yes, he wants to have a talk with you.

Come on.

Don't tell me you've fallen for that boob.

Of course not.

Besides, he's not a boob.

Hey, hey, hey.

No need to bite my head off.

Sorry.

Come in, Hepplewhite.

Shut the door, Slim.

It's about last night's broadcast.

I thought it might be.

I understand it was surprisingly effective.

Go on.

And I put that down entirely to you.

Do you?

So you're going to get what's coming to you right now.

I'm going to raise your salary.

I'm going to give you another 20 quid a week.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Mendez.

I'll go and put it in the savings bank.

Oh, now, stay and have a cup of coffee.

Well, well, no.

I don't mind if I don't.

You don't think I want to poison you because I'm jealous of your success, do you?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Makes you feel full of beans, doesn't it?

Yes, coffee beans.

Glad you'd like it. Have some more. Slim.

Yes.

Do you know, when I came in here, I was shivering in my shoes.

Oh, really? Why?

Well, a couple of ugly customers like you.

Why? Don't you like me, Hubblewhite?

Not much. And I hate the sight of him.

Do you do anything besides playing the ukulele?

Oh, yes, I'm a spy.

Who does smoke?

Now, tell us about it. It must be a very fascinating occupation.

Go on, Mr. Mendis.

No, you go on, George.

I can't teach my grandmother to suck eggs.

I'm a spy. You're a spy. He's a spy.

Tra-la-la-la. We're all spies.

How long have you been at it?

Oh, a couple of days.

But last night, she all put me top of the bill.

Really?

Why?

Why? Because I sank three U-boats.

You amaze me.

Go on, Mr. Mendis. Kidding again.

The way you were U-boats, I sank.

Oh, yes, of course. I've forgotten that.

Hey, you are now. I've given yourself away.

You know, when I tell my mother how I diddled them,

she'll not start laughing for a week.

How did you diddle me?

How?

Well, I pinched you a chord while you were singing in your bath.

You've got a rotten voice.

What did you do with it?

I give it to Mary.

Mary? Mary who?

Oh, Mary. Mary.

Quite contrary.

Will you marry me and become Lady George Applewhite?

V.C.

V.C.

Mary who?

Mary Wilson.

Mary Wilson?

Who's she?

The girl at the reception desk.

Hello?

Yes, you're speaking.

Oh, is that you, Schwartz?

Hold the line a minute, will you?

I'll get him back to his room. We'll fix him later.

Sure.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Yes, I have found out who it is.

I can't tell you on the telephone.

Now, you know my room number.

Yeah, I'll be waiting for you.

Oh, my God.

What did you do with it?

What did you do with it?

Good evening, Herr Hitler.

This is Mark Mendes speaking.

The first item on our program this evening

is the execution of Mary Wilson

and George Applewhite.

Sting them up, you guys.

Camberhardt! Camberhardt!

What have you done with Mary Wilson?

She's in a hot spot where you'll never find her.

Sash you.

Mary, Mary, where are you?

George, I'm half big.

Save me, George.

Don't worry, look.

I'm on my way.

Here I am.

George.

George, you're wonderful.

Oh, I know I am.

Aha, so it's you again.

Where is Mary Wilson?

Hamperrook.

All right.

Here she comes.

My hero.

Mary, will you marry me?

True marriage is a maid in heaven.

Search me.

All aboard.

Here we go.

Have you anything to declare?

Yes.

Four no-trumps.

You can't come in.

You haven't got the ears of nerves.

The ears of nerves?

Who is he?

Adolf Hitler.

Now, I'll not be long, love.

You pick out a nice, soft cloud for us both

and I'll be back in time for dinner.

Goodbye, dear.

So long.

Goodbye, dear.

Goodbye, dear.

I'll send you some Berlin rock.

Hey, you! Hey, Winbach!

Adolf!

Well, you've asked for it.

Hang on.

And I'm out of here.

Look out, Adolf! I'm coming after you.

I'm determined on self-determination.

I wipe the British Empire from the face of the earth.

Hello, Adolf! I want you.

Why?

You're my last territorial demand in Europe.

I knock your head off of the block.

Not if I knock you block off first.

Oh!

Oh, I'm out of here!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

And so, Herr Mendez, if those instructions are carried out, our failure of last night will be partly redeemed.

Yes, now let's check the arrangements. U-36 surfaces at two o'clock out in the fjord, four miles due west of here.

I board her and radio instructions to U-58 and U-93, giving them the positions of the British troopships Hurricane and Magnificent.

Right, and you remain aboard U-36 when she attacked the Macaulay, which sailed from here at 9.30.

I promise you there'll be no interference this time.

Oh, what about Heppelwhite and the Wilson girl, Herr Schwarz?

You will use your discretion, Herr Selwyn.

Steamship Macaulay speaking. Majestic Attell, hold the line, please. You call, miss.

Is that you, Greta? Did you give him my note? The door's locked and there's no answer to the phone.

But you must find him. It's urgent. He's in danger.

Now, try once more.

She's not there.

Is Miss Wilson after you, dear?

No, Mr. Mendez, but her mother is dangerously ill and she's sailing tonight for England.

On the Macaulay?

I believe so.

Oh, well, she's an excellent ship. I'm sure she'll have a pleasant journey.

Oh, the key.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

So there you are. What's the noise?

Can't wait the balance.

Hi, wait a minute. Message for you. It's important.

Wow.

Give me.

Can't wait.

Can't wait.

Can't wait.

Yes.

Come here.

You take over from me after the first number.

What time are we starting with?

What the devil?

Get ready!

Get ready!

We start with, oh, don't the wind blow cold.

I get you.

Pity, he was a good Duke player.

Good evening, everybody.

This is Mark Mendes and his music broadcasting to you from the majestic Hotel Bergen.

We start our program tonight with your new favorite, oh, don't the wind blow cold.

Oh, I've got to eat.

Hey, mister, the Macaulay.

Have you seen the Macaulay?

Macaulay?

Yes.

Thanks.

I can't see her.

Where is she?

She's out of sight.

What, gone sales?

Half an hour ago.

Oh, mother, I must catch it.

Oh.

We're all set to go.

Tableau.

Good.

We're just about beyond time.

The U-bird surface is at two o'clock.

Three miles due south of Smaroy.

You get that, Olaf?

Tableau.

I'll get it going.

How do you all have?

General.

There she is, just coming up.

There she is, sir.

Ah, got you.

Herr Mendes?

Nice timing, commander.

You have the information?

The movement of three troop ships.

And the Macaulay.

Excellent.

You come with me.

Now, if you're ready to hear the other two boats,

we ought to be able to beg the lot.

Your man.

He had better come aboard.

He might talk.

Olaf, you needn't worry about him.

All the same, we take no chances.

Just as you say, commander.

Olaf, come aboard.

And set the boat adrift.

Yavu?

Come on.

Come on.

I'll teach these British to play tricks with me.

I've got a little debt to pay on board the Macaulay.

So.

We should submerge.

Where is this fellow?

Olaf.

Yavu.

Now hurry, will you?

Yavu.

Come down now, please.

Go ahead, Olaf.

Yavu.

Close all leads.

Diving stations.

Slow ahead, boat.

Slow ahead, boat.

Take her to 15 meters.

Blood number one, two, seven, eight.

Blood one, two, seven, eight.

15 meters, sir.

15 meters, sir.

Teddy at 15 meters.

Full ahead, boat.

Full ahead, boat.

Two or three degrees.

Two or three degrees, sir.

Keeper at 15 meters.

You have the details of the ships?

Yes, they're all here.

Three troop ships and the Macaulay.

Good.

I will wireless them to our sister craft.

Here.

Take this to the wireless operator.

Come ahead to my quarter.

Thanks.

Olaf.

You remain here.

Aye.

What?

Yavu.

Yavu.
