so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and now under the merciless rays of the

fiddler's arabian sun those of us who

are privileged to be here

are waiting with tense excitement the

great moment has come

the moment which will prove the world

whether the astounding theory of these

incredible adventures

is right or whether they have been

following a fleeting will of a wisp

as i look down into the cavernous depths

of the excavation

i can see that she backfloors in this

epic making drama of history first

as he should be the young and brilliant

archaeologist howard stephens

of the san francisco museum words cannot

describe

the beaverish tensity of this moment

surrounded by learned men from the far

corners of the earth

mr stevens is expertly crushing the dust

of untold centuries

from an object of tremendous antiquity

we'll soon know

the bronze young leader of the

expedition is handing his find over to

professor heinrich von kenroth of vienna

who like many of the savannas

recently heard this far away waste to

land his knowledge

and experience i have to eat this

grant's rifle

you're right my friend this emblem is

the line of judea

seal of salomon are you certain this

contradicts all my formal research for

your research

gentlemen there is no doubt in my mind

i'm holding in my hand the crown of

balkas

queen of sheba

[Applause]

think of it ladies and gentlemen after 3

000 years uncovered before my very eyes

the fabulous crown of the queen of shiva

my friend you have unearthed a symbol

priceless to seek us after knowledge

like ourselves

but keep in mind you men's worldly value

of these jewels

got them as you would your life don't

you worry about it professor

until we get it aboard ship prince too

late and he's meant to look after it

after that it's my responsibility

surely no modern collection boosts such

jews as these even the emeralds of his

highness the aggar khan cannot compare

with him

the journalist is still waiting mr

stephen shall i send them away no i'll

see them but not in here i won't be long

responsibility lies more heavily for mr

stevens than he cares to admit

uneasy last hand that bears a crown it

would be less uneasy if he knew that you

were here to guard it

mr moto you see i was in cairo when news

came off mr stevens discovery of this

ancient side

my sudden visit here was in the nature

of a gamble which has been justified by

the finding of this crown

still you leave me in the dark mr moto i

cherish the hope that this priceless and

exotic treasure

will lead me to a certain genius in a

world of crime

you believe a criminal is here in this

expedition

i hardly expect him to be so obvious or

so clairvoyant but sooner or later he

will come

to wherever this crown may be it appears

to me that you're still gambling mr moto

jewels such as these are certain to

attract many thieves but it doesn't

follow that your man will be among them

you are an error prince uh this certain

men will be compelled to make an attempt

compelled yes by his own mind he's

psychopathic

kleptomaniac upon a grand scale the more

unattainable the object the more

determined he grows to possess it you

may remember the daring theft of certain

jewels

some time ago from the tower of london

but that was the work of uh what was his

name

um mataxor but he's been dead several

years

i do not think so there have been

several unsolved cases in the past few

years

which to my humble mind they are

unmistakable signs of my taxes handiwork

so now professor van kleinroth

accompanies the crown

of shiva wherever it goes oh no with

your assistance the professor returns to

vienna most inconspicuously

but uh aboard the ship which carries the

crown to america

will be a japanese tourist a mr shimako

mr shimaku i might add is a clean shaven

[Music]

hello well next up san francisco

i suppose you're all excited howard oh i

don't know

yes of course i am it'll be wonderful

for you won't it like

like caesar or somebody returning home

and triumph

and i'll pick up where i left off tea

parties cocktail parties dinner parties

all really pretty and very dull you know

you like it really

i could perhaps in the right company i

don't know you've got salt water in your

eyes

i'm sure going glasses everything's

going to look quite different excusing

please oh hello mr chamacco where have

you been hiding

mr stevens can you branch with

information concerning correct methods

for operating

just buy this ashore oh yes excellent

salesman say

instrument foolproof but i having strong

doubt

it's all very simple here i'll show you

please

probably oh oh please forgive me captain

i just picked up a few

mementos with her you see ouch

i beg your pardon

henry do something really i assure you

that it's a ghost

[Music]

how marvelous to meet you again like

this you're very impetuous mr

featherstone

mr motor whatever happened after you

solved that case in london nothing much

i say what's up have i dropped a brick

or something but please do not concern

yourself

well look here if you're traveling

incognito or anything i won't tell a

soul

you are most accommodating may i be

permitted to introduce my friend mr

featherstone

miss kirk mr howard stevens how do you

do howard stevens

i've been reading all about you all this

about salome's doom

wonderful wonderful you and mr shimako

seem to be old friends

oh yes rather i've known mr

shimona for years i say i'm frightfully

sorry i did let the cat out of the bag

didn't i

yes even the poor animal's tail

but why are you hiding your light mr

moto you're not on a case now by any

chance

now i've gone and made a lot of trouble

for you what a frightful fool i've been

oh don't worry we won't tell anyone will

win i assure you the matter is of

no consequence i'm on vacation and my

humbling cognito was merely

to avoid any possibility of business

intruding itself

i wonder if they charge extra for love

you ought oughta know

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's a message for you joe from wendling

i'm afraid it's bad news

yeah let's see it

arriving friday on the line tell joe his

friend

moto also aboard mr moto huh

it's very bad why is he on that ship if

it's not to guard the crown

so what you think a little japanese

dick's gonna scare me

moto's very dangerous very everyone who

does business with me tells me that

what you're worrying about i'm doing the

job all you got to do is cut down the

rocks

and this time you give me 30 percent no

i'll have nothing to do with this affair

nothing scared of the mighty motor huh

yes i am as long as he's connected with

this

i'm not interested what if i was to rub

mr moto out

that would be a different story

[Music]

can you keep a secret it will be my

earnest endeavor

to respect your confidence as you know i

happen to have uh certain links in

scotland yard

and my uncle remember oh yes sir hector

how is he splendid he's assistant

commissioner you know would you

gentleman care for something to drink

i wish you'd go oh i beg your pa mr

a glass of milk if you please oh yes sir

handle you sir

i'll take a lime juice and soda do you

think you should sir

remember you're driving well uncle

hector

say what did that fellow mean by that oh

please continue

have you ever heard of a super criminal

called the taxer

attack sir but the name does seem to

strike a court of memory

well he's on the record as being dead

but uncle hector thinks he's still alive

lying low in america also now i've had a

brilliant idea no

to find mataxa and get a candid portrait

of him

think of it the only picture in

existence of the world's most famous

criminal

who are you talking about oh

nothing just a bunch of rubbish

what about a drink oh thank you do you

know you look exactly like the queen of

sheba

oh thank you honestly though she should

have that crown on

that's what she thought but we've got to

be very careful naturally

naturally but what you people ought to

do is to get mr moto to look after

things for you oh no

please remember that i'm on vacation in

fact i feel like each one of the three

monkeys

i mean if men like mataxor are loose and

american

oh i said that's all for good about the

monkeys hear no evil see no evil and all

that oh

priceless did you say my tax was in

america

day i'm fight for sorry i did let the

cat out of the bag again didn't i

well that's what scotland yard thinks

but numbs the word

[Music]

your majesty and gentlemen i give you

the crown of shiva

and it's safe arrival at the san

francisco museum

fremont museum this is the curator

secretary speaking

means business

[Music]

oh

i think so well we got two of them

here it is sergeant nice work man well

you and your friend did a pretty good

job

we saved the crown and only one man got

away look here inspector that man was a

ringleader and i got a jolly good look

at him oh you did eh

could you identify him rather i'd know

him anywhere

declared mr featherstone stoutly

confident that the daring young

englishman will identify the ringleader

police are conducting a widespread

search for the missing gangster

shut up this is worse than i thought you

can't stay here it's too dangerous

keep your pants on the frisco cops don't

know me

and this slimy ain't gonna put his

finger on me neither we'll take care of

that smart guy the same way we've done

with mr moto

sit down

oh it's you you've been long enough what

happened well i got here as soon as i

could

the whole police force is out tonight

looking for you never mind that did you

follow my orders hold on you told

from the pier but before i could get him

he drove up to the city hall yeah and

went out to lunch with the chief of

police

so moto's still alive well it's not my

fault by that time the news came out

about joe's running with the cops

i was lucky not to get picked up i told

you i didn't want anything to do with

this unless moto was eliminated

now both of you leave here at once wait

a minute chislet

i'm gonna do just what i said i do and

i'm gonna get the crown too

see then you better make your plans

because the moment it's very unwise for

you to remain here

i'll be downstairs closing the shop

see me before you leave

now listen i ain't leaving here

you call tony and nick we've got to get

that limey and moto and no more mistakes

see

[Applause]

[Music]

one oh thanks

i rather expected to find you here you

did well yes every tourist first visits

chinatown

i say what an extraordinary day did you

happen to read about my adventure

yes indeed which is my reason for

wanting to find you

that's funny because i've been looking

for you

there see for yourself not here we'll

never get a chance like this again

no you fool put that away i fear that

you have exposed yourself to extreme

danger

really how the domain you have promised

to identify will certainly desire your

removal

but if you really wish to be a

successful detective

there's one golden rule which you must

follow

tell me never become a fatality oh mr

moto they're shooting at us with a

silencer get back

somebody just ran out that shot came

from the inside no

from the opposite direction observe

come on let's catch him

[Music]

he's climbing up

he's running along the ledge

[Music]

there he is

[Music]

help me up with you it's too late my

friend but young

hector was right mataxa is in america do

you believe that was mataxa

undoubtedly such phenomenal agility

carries conviction

do you think the rupture who tried to

steal the crown at the pier was mataxa

definitely no the methods are far too

different

i say they'll have to be awfully careful

who they let in the museum tomorrow

adams pass in please

warrado more correct

i assure you my invitation is in order

just a minute please

oh yes four-door pass thank you press

just a minute admission card please oh

now look pal

my job's to dream up some art on this

crown dingo see and i gotta get it ass

in my jobs to see that no one gets in

here without a special pass and no

cameras well you can't do this not to

the record bulletin oh

next please dr pascal of denver doctor

pascua oh yes doctor pass him please

oh i'm so sorry my clumsiness was

inexcusable

oh it was my fault really as long as the

mirror's not broken

i've decided tonight

oh it's all right no bad luck i am

individual

i was afraid i was late howard you're

not cross with me are you

why uh uh he had no better remind

professor hildebrand that it's getting

late

oh yeah i guess darling yes i'm telling

you it'll be more careful with those

invitations

i'm so happy for you howard and so

excited

i can't congratulate you here i'll wait

till dinner time well really i i

i don't think that you're not gonna

spoil the lovely party i've arranged for

you

ladies and gentlemen before i admit you

to the home that we have built for our

priceless treasure

i'd like to pay tribute to the two men

who published unique occasion

deserve the major credit mr howard

stevens and mr hendrick manderson

uh mr stevens as you all know was a

leader of our expedition

excuse me a moment i forgot something

while mr madison

notifies philanthropic activities

generously gave the final donation that

enabled us to properly finance our

expedition

and now as security of this museum i

shall uh

unlock the gates thereby demonstrating

the elaborate precautions we have taken

to safeguard our incomparable relic for

many further felonious attempts

may i point out that this vault is

protected by invisible light beams

which when broken cause a series of

alarms to be sounded

oh i say that's a jolly good idea all

the mechanical devices which science has

been able to conceive

are incorporated in this impregnable

chamber you may be assured

that the crown of balkus queen of shiva

will rest here in serene

dignity forever

ladies and gentlemen uh you see this key

i suppose for a moment that i

were a thief and that i were fortunate

not to possess this key

now i approach the gates

i insert the key in the lock

at this moment may i suggest the ladies

place they're gonna get their gloved

hands over their shell like ears

i can assure you that the dinner would

ensue will be as the youngsters say

simply terrific

all right everybody ready

now then hold tight

[Music]

something must have oh well we'll see

what happens when i open the gates

someone has to pull the switch of course

the the electrical

tank must be off uh who's some minor

fault you know it's only only just been

installed

well perhaps it's just as well we can

all now enter the

crown chamber without alarm

[Music]

ladies and gentlemen behold the crown

of shiva's queen

i will now leave you to admire our

treasure at your

leisure uh thank you

[Applause]

infernal lot of poppycock madison

mr i worried about it alarm i set the

switch myself

come on to my office uh wait a minute

watch the clown in carefully the photo

shoot that's the wrong page

[Music]

mr motor will you come with us to the

curator's office please i should be on

it you too girl come along

have you made certain of stevens don't

worry i will

what are you doing here wrong wait for

mr madison with overcoat yeah that's

right that's right i sent him for it

it's going to rain can feel my leg

been here long ten minutes maybe anyone

my name

no sir not see anyone oh all right let's

go in

i'll stay here profess hillary this is

most disconcerting

and this is a mechanical fault somebody

has got in here and tampered with that

switch

mr mendes and this man wong he's your

servant yeah

you've been with me for many years

unless mr murdo i'll tell you something

the world would be a much better place

to live and if there were more people

like wal around oh sir now we've got to

find out come get up and i'll show you

the hiding place so

must i get up again

quite ingenious what my own idea

there you see somebody has disconnected

it i should not make the contact now

professor

remember the shell-like ears oh of

course how foolish are we

we must get rid of those visitors but

who on earth could've possibly done this

if you hadn't smeared your paws all over

that handle it's the motor he might have

got some fingerprints no

dear what a great big zany i am that's

right

how dare you may i ask how many persons

besides ourselves know the location of

this switch

only mr howard stephens and the men who

stalled it of course and mr stevens has

been associated with a museum for a long

time

no as a matter of fact he's only been

connected with us since the expedition

was first organized

ah now wait a minute wait a minute

hillary stevens has an excellent record

excellent mr moto that's why professor

cornwall hired him and i told you fit

i told you 50 times i was a confounded

raft in this room

but didn't you engage mr stevens

professor i was only appointed curator

when professor carmel was taken from us

rest his soul

i see the young lady your secretary does

she know where the alarm is concealed

no no no no

miss french could have known but she

herself expressed the wish

that the knowledge should be strictly

confined

miss friends yes that japanese gentleman

in there

is he not the famous detective mr moto

that's right

could you tell me where he is living i'm

afraid you'll have to ask him that long

oh almost closing time

i'm leaving now howard but don't you

dare disappoint me

mark hopkins seven o'clock huh all right

i'll drop in for a little while

you're darling

it's closing time sir i'll see you to it

right away o'hara yes sir

rightfully fascinating what i'm sorry

ladies and gentlemen but we'll have to

ask you to leave in a few more minutes

it's difficult to tell oneself away i

know exactly what you mean sir

especially as i have a sort of

proprietary interest in it myself if you

know what i mean

why goodness me you must be the young

englishman who saved the crown

oh they made a ridiculous lot of fuss

about the deposit anything at all really

you're too modest permit me to

congratulate your whole thing

i hope my shot of the crown turns out

well

i'm told they don't allow photographs

they don't

but but look

rather clever what i'm going to shoot it

now

i got it what's going on here yeah they

see you jolly will leave me alone my

eyes are no pictures

and now out you go oh look you can't do

this

oh oh so that's how it is huh hey what's

the trouble this man took a snapshot in

the crown he ruined maya melton

don't forget o'hara but admin for mr

featherstone there wouldn't be any

ground to photograph

that's right i joke i never thought of

that

oh i'm so mortified how could i have

been so clumsy oh my camera

oh it's too bad about your camera

featherstone but we can't make any

exceptions and now ladies and gentlemen

i shall have to ask you to leave

well

just a moment i shall of course replace

your camera

i'm afraid you can't you see it's a very

exclusive type i have a friend

he deals in special photographic

equipment if he hasn't won in stock

i'm quite sure he'll be able to procure

one quickly do you think he can

i do hope so i must have a camera

tomorrow his shops open evenings

it's in chinatown out of the high rent

zones i may possibly have this car

yes here's the address meet you there

tonight today

but i'm only going to stay at the party

a few minutes come on couldn't we have

dinner together hildebrand asked me to

work tonight

well i'll come by here then and take you

out when you're through oh please don't

worry about me

after all the party's being given in

your honor isn't it no but susan

yes i have an engagement with professor

hildebrand

i think he might wish to see me in the

present circumstances

i'll tell professor hildebrand you're

here thank you

and you know of course mr moto i did not

anticipate this pleasure mr motto

i am in a modest way a member of your

profession so the professor has informed

me

mr bardov a very distressing incident

has just occurred

nothing serious i hope excuse me please

may i be permitted to ask mr stevens a

question which seems pertinent

well of course did you get any chance

disconnect the alarm switch before the

ceremony

well certainly i did i thought it might

scare the pants off the visitors what

why didn't you tell me well i'm sorry

but how was i don't know you wanted to

demonstrate the thing

ladies and gentlemen i assure you the

dinner will be simply terrible

[Music]

[Applause]

is

[Music]

i was just waiting for mr motor and i

just came back to have one last look

[Music]

outrageous

moment in private he's coming

there's a big polka who works here in

the hotel who's always picking on me and

shoving me around

oh i see and uh you would like to teach

him a lesson perhaps

jujitsu fixes it so a little fella has a

chance with a big bruiser

hello opera up what is the matter with

this infernal thing hello

someone deprived his instrument of all

[Music]

utility

uh

i don't know i don't understand any of

this if mr moto as you say you're out to

catch this uh

legendary metaxa person you're no more

on holiday than i am

perhaps after bossman's conception of

for holiday no it preposterous cisco

has been dead for years please accept my

assurance that matax is

uh abundantly alive conducting his

existence right

here in san francisco i don't believe it

do you really think he'll try to steal

the crown assuredly

a man with my taxi psychosis will be

unable to resist

impulse then it must have been he looked

at the telephone wires

good heavens he might be here now in the

museum

why don't you call the police oh no i've

journeyed a long way to find my tax and

i do not wish to give him calls for

alarm hello

by jupiter i've forgotten all about the

alarm system

gentlemen we have no real problem

the beam system then is in working order

you may bet your shirt or that's the

moto

i said it myself before dinner you're

certain this time

of course i am i don't make a mistake

twice madison

but to satisfy you i'll show you

there

it's ruined completely ruined yeah

someone did a thorough job of it now we

must tell the police

hello hello give me that please

oh come with me i'll notify the guard

quickly lying on the floor out there i

think he's dead

what

why it's mr featherstone yes he came in

with me

well is he alive indeed yes purely a

temporary concussion

verb susan did you see anything why i

heard a noise looked out and saw him

lying here

then i distinctly heard someone running

away and from what direction did that

sound proceed

right from the doorway there oh so i'll

get my first aid kit

[Music]

mr stevens may i ask what you are doing

here

i might ask you the same question i just

came by to pick up miss fringe

what's happened oh this is all a lot of

tom foolery

can't you call a doctor for that boy

there's nothing to matter with mr

featherstone that an experience cannot

cure

mr stevens would you be of material

assistance by carrying him into the

office

[Music]

he's coming too who struck you my friend

my

is in america one golden rule to follow

never

held everyone hey liberal what are you

standing there what are you waiting for

why don't you call the watchman

yes i think it would be more desirable

when we asked mr stevens

to come into the inner office for a

little chat me

am i right and assuming that you think i

suck featherstone step inside

please he's so kind as to tell me when

he recovers

don't make us hope is the switch to the

alarm system

you have nothing to fear if you tell me

why

it's on the other side of the desk you

have to let me get over there

come on

i warn you do not attempt to mislead me

i wouldn't but where is it

there's a spring in the floor where

[Music]

i see nothing we have to roll back

you show me

right in front of you

[Music]

there's

congratulations miss french and mr

stevens well

it's molotov oh what does this mean is

he attacks her

he tried to find out where the lamp

switch was uh-huh you're bolshevik

borodov is a criminal but not of metaxa

standard

he and his partner well known to the

french and english police and uh

until a few months ago they operated in

shanghai his accomplice is known to all

of you

as miss eleanor kerr i i don't know what

it all means now if this man isn't

mataxa and

stevens but there are many other

criminals professor who covered those

jewels

for instance that gangster joe rubler

and his associates

well any fool could see that mr motto

but what about mataxa

yes mr motor now have you changed your

opinion or do you still believe that

attacks will come here tonight he's here

now professor

in this room what what earth do you mean

you see last night one chance to

discover matax's identity

he arranged a meeting with me in order

to collect a reward

without endangering himself but metaxa

guessed his intention and uh

stabbed him before i reached the

rendezvous fortunately however before he

died

he was able to reveal my texas alias

professor hildebrand

will you be so kind as to accompany me

to police headquarters

[Music]

outrageous i had nothing to do with this

nothing i refuse to go with you

also in that case i fear we must use

persuasion

mr stevens please guard professor

hildebrandt and monsieur borodov

until i arrange for an official arrest

and do not hesitate to use this if

necessary

how dare you i'm roger chauncey

hildeband you all know

me this accusation is monstrous

gentlemen the case is closed

mr motto congratulations i shall see you

all later at headquarters

i believe he's the taxer i say sir would

you pose for a candid portrait

exclusively tomorrow

probably not hildebrand if you're really

the scoundrel who

killed one eye excuse me i

would have caught a cab and make

arrangements for

wong's funeral

are you waiting for there's somebody in

there

hey somebody's in the vault now wait for

it get down out of there keep those

hands high

hey we've got nothing slow look are you

once inside now

lifting the crown oh i saved that for

life look for yourself

say more to give us a good tip this bug

is your rubella all right

yeah we have got ourselves something

one moment mr manderson i regret it i

must ask you to put down your weapon

i trust you will not be so foolhardy as

to attempt escape

escape from you my dear motto i know

your reputation farther well

you may drop your characterization now

mr mataxan

res uh may i have to crown if you please

you are very clever mr moto i flattered

myself that i had completely hidden my

identity but i see that my sense of

security was false

please remain where you are it would be

most distasteful to me should i be

obliged to shoot you

excellent makeup mr mitexa thank you

perhaps you would be so candid to remove

it so that i might acquaint myself with

your true appearance

certainly mr moto it will be a relief

to be rid of it i understand my

particular version is beards

they itch

and now mr motor would you have the

courtesy of explaining to me just how

you came to suspect

me clearly your trusted servant wong

appeared to have some secret from you

yes the daring manner in which you

killed him was characteristic of mitaxa

so you invented that story of wong's

death speech

oh yes he was quite dead when i found

him your generous contribution to the

funds of the expedition

was a shrewd investment also i have

great admiration for your infinite

patience but

you made one simple mistake mr mitaxa

how so when you returned here tonight

your red shoes left their mark on a

museum floor

what is so unusual about that nothing

except at the footprints where the firms

transit for healthy man

until they reach the curator's office

where they suddenly and most

conveniently developed a decided lamp

you are most ingenious mr moto it was

stupid of me not to have seen through

your false accusation of hildebrand

uh

[Music]

what's going on here back there

my antiquities my mommies my goodness

[Music]

mr moto needs me i am coming mrodo

[Music]

where's the madison throw the lights

[Music]

to play perhaps you will capitulate

you need any help mr motto thank you not

now

but you may see that professor

hildebrandt is released

what's this another one mr moro yes

carden

this is the real recaptor show him

special attention please

you will find a mr paraguard and the

guard in a museum

he'll make a force if they wish to play

bridge

or mr stevens may i suggest that you

place the crown in safe hands

until the alarm system is repaired

don't worry mr moto i'll take care of it

oh

i'm awfully sorry i dropped it mr moto

oh well perhaps i was not meant to have

a vacation

[Applause]

[Music]

you
