What do you want? We'd like to see Mr.

Wormer. Mr. Robert Wormer. No one of

that name lives here.

You get out or I call the police. Don't

bother. We'd have brought them with us

if we needed them. Wormer's here. We

want to see him. There is no wormer

here. I tell you that again. I don't

know that name. Take a look around. Keep

an eye on him.

[Music]

This is an outrage.

Which one of you two is warmer? I don't

know him. You know, you're only making

it more difficult for yourself. Oh,

you're wasting your time. Yeah, it's

quite a hall. There's a laboratory

inside and enough invisible ink to

transcribe the congressional record.

Besides

these code books, these will come in

handy. Yeah. Have a look at our friend

Castlon. You know, these passport

likenesses are pretty horrible. Here's

another one.

This time it's

Felix. But the picture's just as bad.

Here's a beauty.

Fancy that

one. Van

remembering just who you really are. Not

any more difficult than it will be for

you to find out. Oh, we could make it a

little easier. You know, soften him down

a bit.

He'll have plenty of time to change his

mind.

about 30

forwarding

addresses. Canada, Mexico, Honduras,

Guatemala,

Panama. Where that

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Yes.

Oh, it's you, Warmer. You know you

shouldn't call me up here. It was

necessary. The government agents have

been to the Elm Street house. They must

have deceived the radio message we are

transmitting to Geneva. I managed to

escape. Go to the station and remain

there until you hear from me and tell

them to use the alternate code

immediately. Oh, it's that fellow

wearing again. We shall have you do

something with him. We'll arrange it at

the proper

time. You'll hear from me tomorrow. Good

night.

Lane.

Lane. Yes, sir.

R.

Did you telephone for Paul? Yes. He

ought to be here any moment. This coffee

is cold.

Well, no wonder. Well, get some more.

You've had enough now to float a

battleship. I still want coffee. All

right, drown yourself.

L,

Jimmy. Right, L.

More coffee again. And make it stronger.

If it's any stronger than last time,

it'll walk in by itself. Then it ought

to get here quicker than you'll bring

it. Oh, wise guy.

What do you make out of it? It's change

code. Coming through in groups of eight

letters. We have nothing on record like

it. Got a complete copy? Yeah, I'm just

rechecking. It's coming in regular every

hour.

All right, let's see what we can do with

it.

Morning, Helen. Shippy. How are you,

Admiral? Philip didn't come home at all

last night. What about you? I've been up

since six bells in the dog watch. What a

life. I can't understand why you stick

around this office. Because your brother

couldn't find a sane person to hold the

job. I think you're right. And how are

all your little battleships this

morning? Now you're not fooling. I

haven't seen a battleship since I left

Annapolis. Think of all the seasickness

you've missed. Four years of good hard

work and study to be an errand boy to an

assistant secretary in the Navy

department. Don't be discouraged, Paul.

Maybe your brother has something in

mind. That's why he sent for you. Well,

I wish he'd do something. He promised

he'd have me in the bureau with him. And

there, cutie. Is that fast enough for

you? Okay, Lightning. Oh, here he comes.

Now,

see what you can do with those. Good

morning, Phillip. Good morning. Don't

you ever come home? Oh, we had a little

tough luck last night. That band of

agents who gave us much trouble about 3

years ago are back again. The ones who

operate exclusively with cipher codes.

We decoded one of their messages and

picked up an address, but they

outwittered us and got away. That's what

I want to see you about. I do everything

for him except comb his hair. Some

discipline. Our job right now is to find

that secret broadcasting station or

we'll be decoding ciphers from now on.

Do you know how to operate a gonometer?

Sure, of course. I've been experimenting

with the one that Chowmer's just

invented. Been locating airplanes by the

angle of their radio beams. That's why I

sent for you. But I wouldn't talk too

much about that Chalmer's instrument.

Plane, call the Bureau of Navigation. I

want to speak to Commander Nash.

Bureau of Navigation. Commander Nash.

I'm going to send you to the Brooklyn

Navyyard to take directional readings on

the cipher broadcast that's being

transmitted. We may be able to locate

the station that way. Any idea what

they're after? We never know till we

catch them. They've made elaborate

preparations. It's something that may

mean hundreds of thousands of American

lives. The whole world sitting on a

powder cake, nor knowing when some fool

may throw a spark into it. Just a

moment, please. Commander Nash on your

line.

Hello, Commander. This is Wearing. Fine,

thank you. And you? Splendid. Commander,

I'd like to use Lieutenant Wearing for a

couple of days. Special assignment.

Well, yes, of course, Major. A little

excitement for the lad.

Well, whatever it is, you go right

ahead. Thanks very much. I'll send a

memorandum. Sure. I'll drop by the first

chance I get.

Goodbye. Lane, send a memo to the Bureau

of Navigation today. You report to

Stevens next door. or he'll furnish you

with a Chowmer's gonometer. Now, I want

you to record the exact angle at which

that highfrequency broadcast comes into

the Brooklyn yard. Clark will do the

same at North and where those two lines

cross will be the spot for us to go to

work. Can I be in on that, too? You've

got one job to do. Thanks, Phillip. Good

luck. Get Clark here right away. I'm

sending him to Northwood.

Brooklyn Navy are calling. Proceed

immediately to Charleston. Await

instructions there. That is all.

Welcome. Proceeding Charleston. Flying

Wearing. I thought you'd be in China or

somewhere. Imagine running into you. How

are you, old sea walrus? Oh, never met

her. But tell me, what's happened to

you? Uh, this is the first time I've

been outside of Washington. Are you

assigned to this? No, no, only for the

day. Checking out a special high

frequency broadcast out of Washington.

Well, anything I can do to help? No,

I've only got to set up and take a

reading. Operator, can you pull in

anything above 2500 kily? I think I can

bring it in, sir.

No, no, darling. I will show you.

Good morning, Teresa. Good morning, Mar.

your charm and your beauty?

He was young enough to be

impressionable. And besides, he had the

advantage of the moonlight on the

observation platform

until I must get sleep. You will report

my success. Of course,

you had to see him again. Oh, of course.

There'll be a call today.

Hi, Alan. Hello. Hello, Paul. Stick

around. We're about to intercept your

reading with Clarks. Oh, thanks. I'd

like to know the result. Angle from

Brooklyn

Navyyard

22° 17 minutes and 26 seconds. Off due

south from Norfolk. 38 7 58 off due

north. Say, look at that.

Well, that's

impossible. Well, that's ridiculous.

That place is descending station in the

capital

building. Paul, are you sure about your

gonometer readings? I checked a half a

dozen times. The angle never

varied. How about you, Clark? I had the

same results. No variations. Uh-huh.

They probably figured we'd check and

arrange so we'd find this. All right.

We'll use the three points. Brooklyn,

Northalk, and Washington. Draw the arc

of a circle to them and let me know

what's on that arc. Yes, sir. Lane, let

me see the cipher they're broadcasting.

Phillip, can I stick with you on this?

Sorry, Paul. Report back to Commander

Nash. Oh, Lane, send a memo of thanks to

Commander Nash. Tell him Lieutenant

Wearing did a nice job for us. I'll see

you at home tonight. Okay,

Phillip.

Tidle, shot the relative positions of

all the T's and the H's. If it decodes

in English, it might give us a start.

Right. What'd you find out? There's

possible towns on that arc. Walder, New

Jersey, Indicott, Tennessee, and

Portsouth, Virginia. Uh-huh.

Lane, get Wyoff and Peters. They're

going to Walurn, New Jersey, and

instruct Allan and Harmon to proceed to

Portsouth, Virginia. Give them all the

necessary data. We've got to find that

broadcasting

station. Tidal, get an artist map of

Tennessee. We're going there.

[Music]

That place is worth investigating.

Clark, you take care of him. I don't try

a window.

Have you finished your message, France?

Friends, friends, don't make a sound.

I thought we'd meet again. And so did

I. You might drop that pistol, Mr.

Warren. And you too, Mr.

Tidle.

Cast is waiting for you on the phone. Go

and tell him what takes place. That Mr.

Waring annoys us no

longer. Of course, this means that we

have to move. But you naturally never

know

it. Oh,

[Music]

he's gone. I'll see if I can get him.

You fellas left the place over.

We have plenty of evidence to convict

those we picked up yesterday, but

they're only small fry. We've got to

catch the one who's directing all this

work. Oh, we can put a little pressure

on those we've got. They never talk. Why

should they? They've nothing to lose by

keeping their mouth shut. We can't offer

them immunity. But what if they sweat?

Those who work in espionage are selected

because of their ability to take

whatever comes. Now, we've got to figure

that out ourselves. You're not going to

write these things all over again, are

you? No. I'm going to make a list of the

frequencies, how many times each letter

appears. It may give us a clue. See,

Jimmy, no. I say, maybe I could learn

something about them. Why not? You check

these letters while I call them off from

the breakdown board.

My first job is to stick to this eight

letter cipher until we've broken it

down. Good morning. Hello, Paul. Hi,

Paul. Even Sunday isn't sacred. E, you

too, Helen. Don't you ever get tired?

Yes. V, we can't. We're in the army now.

You, what are you doing here? I've got

to spend the day at Annapolis. I thought

maybe I could drag you along. That's why

I dropped by taking her to the scenes of

your boyhood. That serious, huh? She's

very lovely, Phil. You waiting till you

see her? Judging from the effect the

young lady's had on you, I can hardly

wait. Well, can't you join us later

tonight? G. No, I'm sorry, Paul. I

can't. This is too important. Any

success? A little, but not enough. But

don't you worry about it. Go on out and

enjoy yourself. M. Besides, if I went

along, she might fall for me. Well,

maybe you're right. I better make sure

for myself before I let you meet her at

all. Well, I'll get out of here and good

luck to you. Good luck to both of us.

What do you think I am? An adding

think. T R R T

A

P

A

O R. That's all. That's enough. The

frequencies point to the English

language. A E N O T. Fairly consistent

with the established

frequencies. All right, we'll see what

we can do with it. We'll start with a T

and the

H's. You have an H in the first row and

a T almost directly under in the second.

Move the second row to the right one

space. The lines may be inverted. That

might happen in a double transposition

cipher. What about the other

combinations of T and H?

They occur in 17 and

19. In

22 and 20, invert it again. In 18 and 16

and in six and four twice

we have the combination five times

always with a factor of

two. Two lines

apart. Lane take out the even numbered

lines.

Now I'll move up the ones left on the

board. Now, uh, invert the order of the

even numbered lines and put them back.

I think we can read it now. Peter Jackal

Ashel Lane. Type this.

All right. Go

ahead.

Peter

plans are ready for

We will

them along this path and

recommend

you

immediately confer

confirm

instructions for delivery.

T HR through through

our

Decker

Royal Gardens. Did you get it? Yes, sir.

Now check on Royal Gardens. Jimmy,

that's me. Get me a telephone directory.

Coming up.

You know it's true. The new naval plans

under the current congressional

appropriation have just recently been

approved by the Navy Department. I

wonder what they're after, particularly.

In a general way, the plans have been

discussed in all the newspapers. The

secret details, of course, are never

divulged. The entire naval program is

one of defense. If a potential enemy

anticipated every defense move, the

results would be disastrous.

Definitely thereafter are defense

secrets and particularly I should say

the details of the longrange gun just

perfected. An improved modern version of

the famous French 75 which every nation

has been experimenting with since the

World War. But we're in time to warn the

department. Of

course. There may be even a better plan.

Lane, what'd you find? There's a Royal

Gardens listed here on Coington Drive.

You boys check with me later. Then we'll

figure out a visit to Royal Gardens this

evening. We might create suspicion. I'll

let you know when you call me.

Can I go home now? No. You and I are

going on a little picnic. A picnic? You

mean sandwiches, stale coffee, and ant?

All be yourself. Well, you said a

picnic.

Go on home and change your clothes. I'll

pick you up. We're going to dinner at

the Royal Gardens tonight. You mean

you're really going to take me out on

official business? Well, official

business is better than no business at

all.

[Music]

You know, you've been hiding something.

What? You should take me out often. You

do it charmingly. You think so? Mhm.

Make a memo of that. Okay, chief.

I'm trying to spot that big fellow who's

been walking around the place. It's

probably Decker. I think I'll try and

locate his office. You shouldn't take

any chances alone. If I'm gone more than

half an hour, call out the army and

[Music]

navy. Phillip or

Phillip? It's my brother.

Phillip, I want you to meet Theres.

I'm delighted. He's the one I've been

telling you about. You know, she said

she was almost afraid to meet you.

Really? Paul hasn't been quite honest

with me. I don't understand. He's only

told me half truths about your child.

And then you think perhaps you may like

me. How could he help? Sit down,

Phillip.

[Music]

What's the

matter? Theres was doing well with that

young officer until just now. His

brother arrived, made him here.

Perhaps they made the appointment. No,

it was by accident. Even the young man

was

surprised. It isn't possible that he

just picked this

place. Not wearing. Ah, well, don't

worry. The will handle him. What in the

world brought you here? I kept Lane

working all day, so I promised to take

her to dinner. I can only stay a minute.

She's waiting for me. You're over. I

can't. We still have a little work to

do.

If it should all be spoiled now.

Perhaps we can make sure that it isn't

spoiled.

Well, I guess I'll leave you two alone.

Why can't you stay? You remain with us

for a little while, won't you? Sorry,

but I'd better get back to Miss Lane. I

hope we'll be seeing a lot of each

other. Excuse me.

Come on, we're leaving.

[Music]

Thank you.

There's no question, but the Lieutenant

Wearing was drawn into this situation

for a purpose. That seems evident. All

right, we'll play it their way. The

naval plans are to be delivered shortly.

Yes, during the coming week. Would it be

possible to have Lieutenant Wearing

deliver them? But that seems like taking

unnecessary chances. Well, he'll carry

false plans. The real plans will reach

the proper destination. You want your

brother to be the cat's paw? In this

matter, he's simply Lieutenant Wearing.

Well, I feel that we can carry out your

plan, Major. Lieutenant Tidal can carry

the real plans. That'll be quite

satisfactory. I'll confer with the

secretary in the morning. Thanks very

much for coming in, Commander. Good

night. Good night, Major.

I'll see you tomorrow. I'll drop you

off, Lane. Good night, Phillip. Good

night. Good night, Lane. Good night.

Don't you realize what you're doing to

Paul? Of course I do. And you're willing

to let him take a chance on his career,

even his life. In this work, we have to

take chances. But to let him go into a

thing like this blindly, it would defeat

our whole purpose otherwise. Besides,

Paul can take care of himself. You hope.

What's one career, one life for that

matter, staked against possibly the

safety of millions?

Oh, we'll sit right here.

A martini, please. Yes.

Wait up. Bring me a maltini.

Isn't the havoc a grace track?

Well, yes, I think it is. Doesn't seem

to be lighted. I thought they were

holding a fair at the track. That isn't

until the end of this month. Well, I

suppose I was wrong.

Hello, Commander. Oh, come in,

major. Pull up a chair.

I have some news for you, and it isn't

especially good news. From New York?

Yes. Lieutenant Wearing was taken from

the train at New York. Intoxicated.

Intoxicated? That's impossible. No,

there's no question about it. Here's the

report of the doctor and the plans. They

were gone. What about the two men who

were put on the train to watch him? They

were found unconscious in their

compartment, apparently beaten with the

butt of a gun. Lieutenant Wearing is

being brought back here under arrest.

He'll have to stand court marshall, of

course, and most likely you will be

called as a witness. Yes. Yes, of

course. May I see that report?

You swear the evidence you are about to

give at these proceedings is the truth?

I do.

You are Officer James McDermott, a

member of the New York Police Force. I

am. In the course of your duties, did

you ever come in contact with any person

in this room? I

did. That young man there.

Explain to the court the circumstances

of your meeting. I was on duty at the

Pennsylvania station last Tuesday night

about 11:00. I was called to the

platform of the train coming from

Washington. In one of the cars, I found

this man. It looked like

intoxicated, so I took charge of it.

Where did you take him? To the 34th

Street station where Dr. Mayat examined

it. Thank you. That is all. Council for

defense may question the witness. No

questions.

You're dismissed.

I offer a copy of Dr. Matt's official

report to the New York Police

Department. It states that upon medical

examination, Lieutenant Wearing's

condition was found to be due to liquor

intoxication.

Call Major Phillip Wearing. Major

Phillip Wearing,

you swear the evidence you are about to

give at these proceedings is the truth?

I do. Sit down, please.

You are Major Philip Wearing? I am.

You're on duty with the Cipher Bureau in

charge of counter espionage? Yes, sir.

Major Wearing, to your knowledge, has

Lieutenant Wearing ever been associated

with alien spies? No, sir. To your

knowledge, has he at any time been

indirectly associated with such persons?

Yes, sir.

Can you explain the nature of this

contact? No, sir, I can't. Isn't that an

unusual reply, Major Wearing? I can't

answer directly without divulging

information which must be kept

absolutely secret at this time.

Question waved.

But you are certain that the defendant

did come in contact even though

indirectly with alien agents. Yes, sir.

That'll be all, Major Wearing.

Lieutenant Wearing is council. No

questions. Witnesses dismissed.

Court is

closed. We must consider this case

purely from the actual evidence

submitted. It was straightforward and

convincing with the possible exception

of Major Wearing's evidence. Yet from

the circumstances, our decision might be

greatly guided by it.

Heart is open. Heart is open.

Heart's open.

This court finds you guilty of conduct

unbecoming an officer, of being

intoxicated while in pursuance of your

duty, of willfully permitting valuable

papers to fall into alien hands, and

recommends that you be dishonorably

discharged as an officer in the United

States

Navy. Court is adjourned. The call of

the president.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant. Lieutenant, this

way.

Paul, did Paul phone? Hasn't he been

home? No, not yet. I want to see Tidal.

We're going to make a call. When you get

him, I'll be in Colonel Graham's

[Music]

office. Morning.

Good morning. I'd like to speak to Miss

Brahms, please. Yes, of course.

[Music]

Whom should I say? Just say Phillip.

She'll understand.

[Music]

Master, shall we go into the other room?

As you say,

[Music]

[Music]

we can do without the concert. Yeah, I

used to be pretty good there. I'll bet.

Roger. Where are you?

Where is Paul? I don't know. I haven't

seen him since the day of the court,

Marshall. I thought he might come to

you.

He doesn't want to face us. He's so

ashamed of his disgrace. It was all so

needless. The papers they took from him

were of no importance.

You mean it wasn't what the newspaper

said? No, not the important documents

which were reported. The ones they took

from him were of no value at all.

[Music]

I'm so glad. Does he know this? No.

That's why I wanted to find him. Tell

him that perhaps before long he would be

vindicated. Oh, he'll come to me. I know

he will. Let me tell him. Well, I'd

rather tell him, if you don't mind,

of course. Then when he comes, I send

him to you. Thank you.

Goodbye.

[Music]

Why'd you tell her they didn't got the

right plans? It's playing right into

their hands. Well, that's what I meant

to do. If the information gets back to

them, we'll know how it got there. But

do you still think she's in it? There's

no question about it.

[Music]

Take him to my office. Get rid of him

tonight for

[Music]

good. Theres

Come in here,

Paul. Oh, you shouldn't have come here,

Paul. Why

not? Oh, I suppose you're having any use

for me

now. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said

that.

Oh, darling.

Theres, you know I'm innocent. Of

course, Paul, I believe you. But if you

do, I can start all over again. I can

make something of myself. You will? I'm

sure you will. And you you'll marry me.

I wanted to ask you before all this

happened, Theres. Honestly, I

did. Was it Has it made any difference

to you?

I'm

sorry. I can't.

[Music]

Is it because I've been thrown out of

the service?

No. No. It's because we could never be

happy. Never.

Thanks.

[Music]

You're up to something. Grud warned

me. You've sent for that young man and

his brother. I had nothing to do with

it. You know what my orders are? To put

you out like this. If you make one false

move, I'm going out of here. You will

have no chance to betray

us.

Tasmin. Tasmin.

See that she doesn't leave. I get

wearing in here. After that, you'll see

that he doesn't leave.

[Music]

[Music]

Hello, Theres. You sent for me? Yes, I

did.

[Music]

Very good. Hello, Castlon. Or is it

Felix or Van Gru in this time for?

First, we must find our

team to us.

Ah, you're coming to your senses. Ah, it

was you who act a little foolish. Deco,

you'd be wasting your time, Decker. I

agree with the major.

We must find out how much they've

discovered. It may mean our safety. Why

is he here alone tonight, for instance?

Yes. Why did you come here alone?

Is there any law against a man dropping

into a cafe for a bite to eat alone?

What's the real reason?

[Music]

Understand English very well.

Theres, you better

leave. Goodbye.

You better drop those guns.

Lieutenant, I'm glad to see you. What

brought you here? Some woman telephoned

headquarters. Oh. Take these two men in

charge. Yes, sir. What about the woman?

No, she had nothing to do with it. All

right, come on.

[Music]

Why didn't you include me when you

arrested them?

Why did you phone headquarters?

Because I love Paul. You wouldn't

believe me. I know that unless I gave

you some proof. Well, I would like to

know just which side you're on. You

brought me in the room, you know. No,

no, they did that more than ever. Then I

had to make you believe in me because I

want to help you. If I hadn't become

traitor to them, I never would have been

worthy of Paul's love. You know that. I

know

it. Even if he doesn't. He was there

tonight. He asked me to marry him.

I refused. I had to until I'd made

myself

worthy. You could ask me questions, but

you don't. You couldn't answer them.

You're right. There's little I can tell

you. Many things I don't know. In this

work, each does some little part. Only

one man can put all the pieces together.

Even I'm not sure who he may be. But

perhaps,

Major, that's what I can find out for

you. Well, if you can do that, you're

okay with me.

[Music]

This cipher they will never be able to

decode will be broadcast under their

very

noses and music will enthral them. They

will never guess that they are listening

to our message. That man else, are you

positive we can depend upon him? I can

no long depend upon them. They are no

more. Then we are sure you have the

plans. Tomorrow night, the photographs

of the gun shall be safely in my

possession. Depend upon that.

[Music]

Good evening my dear.

Did you enjoy yourself? Yes, it was

lovely and weary.

[Music]

What are you talking about? You know

what we are talking about, don't you,

dear? And you are too and dear to me,

lovely Teresa, for us ever to lose you.

You mean you are going away? Yes.

And I'm going with you.

Exactly.

And to be sure, we shall not be deprived

of your delightful presence, you'd

better not shall we say leave this house

again.

May I May I tell Paul? No, no, no, no.

You shouldn't see him again.

May I just write to him to say goodbye?

What do you say, Harry? Well, if it'll

make her happy.

But do not have any false hopes. We

shall see exactly what you write.

Gust love sharpens the wits of women

surely as it dulls the wisdom of

men. Beware

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

What do you make of it? Cipher expert.

Oh, says focus down for what do you hear

from Bush and his fault for two for a

half or radio in less than 20 minutes.

What kind of talk is that? Like you

right. We ought to get together

sometime. Yes, but uh who would

understand each other?

Scram. Scram. few

days. Pardon me.

Oh,

hello, Helen. He's been waiting to hear

from you. Come along with me.

Phillip. Huh?

Paul, why haven't you been home? Well, I

have my own reasons for that. Something

happened, something queer. That's why

I've come. No matter why you came, I

have a lot of things to tell you. Well,

wait until I show you

this. When I got the letter, I went to

her home. It was

vacant. You see anything odd in it?

Yes. Yes, I do. No one would write a

letter like this and mean

it. Let me read it

again. I had hopefully held back until

tonight, but our plans, dear Paul, are

not now to ever, ever be realized. I've

taken this cowardly way to tell you.

Always I'll watch and pray over you. The

air I breathe tonight warms with

memories of every hour we've loved. But

dear Paul, Philip would never forgive

you or me. Never if he learned of our

secret love. Darling, as I say goodbye,

I cherish three unforgettable days at

Annapolis. Forgive me, but darling, do

not forget me. Theres, she said our

secret love. It wasn't secret, Phillip.

Yeah, I know. She told me last night she

loves you. She told you that, did she,

Phil? Never mind that now. There's

something here she wants to tell us.

Secret love. Secret.

Well, it's in here for us to find. Well,

one other thing about the letter. We

only went to an atlas once. Why does she

say three times?

Because only you and she knew

that.

Three? There's a clue for us. Three.

Blame. Give me that

pencil. The secret she wants us to know

involves

three. Three.

Every third word. Clever

girl. Here's her message.

I held tonight. Plans are to be taken

way. You watch over air tonight.

Memories hour. That's clear enough. Get

Norfolk on the phone.

Norfolk Naval Base. Have you got a

today's paper? Yes. See at me hours

listed in the radio section.

Here it is. 8:00 tonight over WAWWC

memories hour with Simon Heric Soloist.

Simon Heric? He's that penis at Guj

Conservatory. Norwalk. Just a moment,

please. I have your call for you.

Hello. This is Major Wear Euro,

Washington. Plans delivered may

photographed. Please check it once. I'll

hold on. I have the plans in the office.

I'll check.

Hello. The tack holes in all the

corners. No, we've had no occasion to do

that. Now, check on the man in charge of

the files. I'll hold on. Clark. Yes.

Check with the radio station to see if

there's a shortwave relay of that

broadcast.

All right. Go ahead. There's a Charles

Ellsworth who handles all blueprints.

Our records show that he didn't report

for work either yesterday or today.

Thanks. That's all for the present. I'll

make a report to the commander at once.

Goodbye.

I haven't time to explain now. All I can

say is you were allowed to be the goat.

No time for questions. At 8:00 tonight,

you'll be at radio station WWC. And when

Simon Herrick leaves, don't let him out

of your sight. When he reaches a

destination, phone me immediately. I'll

be here. Now, how you fix for money?

Well, I haven't got very much. Make out

a requisition to the pay master. Good

luck. We'll need it.

Did you get that information? Yes, sir.

There's a shortwave rebroadcast on that

8:00 show. I thought so. Get Tidal and

stand by. Yes.

Lane. Lane. You ought to be very happy.

Well, I am, but I haven't got time to

enjoy it right now. Don't make any dates

for tonight. I never do. Call Foster,

Radio Engineering Division. Tell him I

want a transcription of that 8:00 show

and a machine to run it on. Right. Get

me the best musical technician you can

find and a typewriter for

transcriptions. Captain will help you. I

have him here at 8:00 sharp. Right.

Anything else? Isn't that enough?

And now the guest for this evening

symphony concert, that eminent pianist,

Simon Harry, who will play for us a

collection of his own composition, the

unfinished wall. This is probably it.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

How do you

[Music]

and now ladies and gentlemen. Now,

whatever note listed, each one may

represent a letter, a word, or a phrase.

Lane, get your notebook. I want to make

some

notes. Will you play it back, please?

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Here it is, Major Worry.

Mhm.

Now, will you transcribe the selection

into letters representing each note? Of

course, Major.

[Music]

Hello. Oh, it's you, Paul. Here, I'll

take it. Hello, Paul. Hello, Phillip. I

trailed them

[Music]

to operator. Operator, we've been

disconnected. You can't check the

number? No, I don't know it. All right.

Something's happened. We've got to work

[Music]

fast. With sharps and flats, we can make

21 notes. Perhaps 21 letters of the

alphabet if we can find a starting

place. But there are only 12 different

tones. C# and B flat are the same tone.

E sharp is really F. You're right. But

we'll use the 21 symbols as they're

written here with C representing A and

so on down through the alphabet and

recoding an alphabetical progression

till we find the right key. Let's try

the fourth

key. F sharp equals H. D

equ=

A E sharp equals

E.

Gsharp equals

L. D flat equals

C.

Hackle. Hackle. There's no J in the

key. H equals J. It's Jackal. We've got

it.

Can't we do something about

sailing? Elsewhere, go and see the

captain. Ask him if there's any need for

delay. If necessary, we'll pay him a

bonus in order to get on the way at

once. A equals N.

E= D. That's it.

Jackal Copenhagen plans in our

possession. Meet Sophie Grant with sea

plane at Canary. Cash is necessary as

agreed. 200,000. Check shipping lifts up

down the coast for the Sophie Grant.

Call Norbert base. Have a plane standing

by in case of emergency. Is there a car

available? Yes. Go down and wait for us.

[Music]

Well, the captain said he must wait for

the clearance papers. We'll sail about

1.

All right. So, that's the best we can

do.

[Music]

Where are we? They brought us on board a

sheep.

Hey,

you're positive the plane will meet us

at a Canaris. Yes, don't fear. Jack was

prepared for the shortwave relay of my

broadcast.

What? What are you doing here? Easy,

Paul. They're in the next cabin.

[Applause]

[Music]

What are you going to do with Lieutenant

Wearing?

[Music]

When we are clear of the

headlands, you'll take care of our young

friend.

We got to do something. We just can't

sit here.

Don't be a fool, Paul. They'll kill you.

I've got to get to Philip.

And when we are cleared, you come right

back here. It shouldn't be long.

[Music]

You forget Eric wearing must have

discovered something. For why was his

brother at a broadcasting station?

Even so, they will never break that

cipher.

I'm afraid you underestimate wearing's

ability.

But you stand by here while I see the

captain. Come on, Ty.

[Music]

Why don't we get underway?

Go and see the cat.

[Music]

Just a moment. Groot.

What's the matter? Federal agents have

come on board. Wearing. Wearing. On

board. Yes. What do we do? We must get

off. You got that

door. You wait here.

[Music]

[Music]

Sorry, Eric. We have other plans for

you. I'll take care of that briefcase.

Thanks,

Paul. Now, what we principally want are

some photographs. You will find them.

They are there.

Thanks. You liked it. My composition. I

mean, you heard it. Of

course. Unfinished.

What? Unfinished work.

Well, Harry, that's the way it goes. All

right, Ty, I'll take him

[Music]

away. Lane.

[Music]

Lane, what are you staring at? Lane,

one, that's insubordination. Now you

listen to me. Take two hours off and

comb your hair. Then go down to the

license bureau. See that I go along.

Arrange for tickets to Niagara Falls.

Two tickets. Is that all? Isn't that

enough?

All right. What are we waiting for? Oh,

Phillip, you better make that four.

We'll make a memo of that.

[Music]

[Applause]
