gifts from strangers

yes

come in

what she sent it back yes sir well

didn't she give you any message

well the lady said speaking your pardon

sir that you don't accept gifts from

strangers

and i thought formalities were forgotten

conventions

there's nearly always a purpose well i

suggest we cling to the bottle carson

fix three glasses

yes sir i played very badly

excuse me please four sixes

oh

to miss mystery

may we become better acquainted well

hello

i think your site's a little off doing

very nicely thank you

do you realize you haven't told me

anything about yourself our lives seem

so different out here

doesn't matter who we are sure i wish i

could go on forever like this and never

land anywhere

that's easy i'll bribe the captain to

cast us a drift on a ride oh

no i mean serious this week at sea has

given me something i thought i'd never

know again

i feel like a child on my way to school

pretty dingy and unpleasant school

let's play hooky then that wouldn't be

very helpful to either of us

after all you have your business to

attend to in shanghai shanghai your

destination or just a stopover

i have an uncle there i'm on my way to

visit him you better make it a long

visit because we're gonna see a lot of

each other

are we you don't think i'm gonna lock

myself up in an office all the time do

you

perhaps you should for the good of the

hitchings line since i met you i've had

an awful time thinking of anything else

what did you think about before then

i can't remember i must have thought of

something

anyhow it doesn't make much difference

now does it

[Music]

it's late you better see me to my cabin

bob

it's from democracy the little lady

what'd she say

read yourself cousin william

completely recovered from illness don't

worry any further

sense what does she mean

soon find out if he's harmless or very

smart

the ship is due to arrive friday meter

under launch as usual

what how those five queens got in the

deck

and the five jacks

what are you talking about i'm just

cleaning up this this cabin

a letter give away

get away i tell you you touch me

importer eh

i know you too perhaps you remember

curious shop in san francisco

how did you i wasn't there i'll tell you

you killed a man there

wicker basket mr carson i didn't go to

kill him

you're not married are you

oh no it's nothing like that i'm sorry

to be so mysterious but i have no choice

look i don't want you to tell me

anything that's none of my business only

anything you're involved in is my

business

please don't ask me anymore but i'm in

love with you

i know doesn't that make any difference

makes all the difference well then the

devil with all this secrecy you and i

are going to take this ship right back

to the states

i want you to meet my family but you

don't know anything about me

who i am who cares but you have your

obligations in shanghai

told me you promised your father to make

good all right i will and if i do will

we'd better wait and see what happens oh

boy will i work

from now on there'll be no more playboy

stuff nothing but business

and you

we'll soon be alongside sir where's my

regular stuart

haven't you heard carson's disappeared

disappeared

yes sir didn't sleep in his bunk last

night also

that is too bad an accident perhaps

well that's what the skipper thinks but

i got my own idea yes

dawson probably jumped overboard he was

a bit cracked sir

and i hadn't tipped him yet that is very

sad

here you might as well have it oh yes

sir

thank you sir

[Music]

gloria

gloria excuse me please

where's the young lady i should like to

say goodbye i don't know i've looked

everywhere and i can't find her

also her luggage is gone too oh

stewardess

where's the young lady who occupies this

cabin the young lady was took off in a

melted

launch early this morning said but she

promised to give me her address this

morning

i don't know where she's going we never

know what's going to happen in this life

like mr carson yesterday he was talking

to me just like you i

it well i never

can you tell me where i can find young

hitchings

there he is with a japanese gentleman

thanks now remember if you ever come to

flatbush don't forget to look us up

mr hittings i'm joseph wilkie oh how do

you do mr wilkie dad gave me a letter to

deliver to you personally he said he was

very important oh thanks

well this is mr moto so pleased mr

wilkie is our branch manager oh so

shall we go ashore now the company

launches waiting sure will you go with

us mr motor i'm so sorry i must go back

to my cabin

but we shall meet again certainly

shanghai's a small world

i've made reservations for you at the

cafe hotel you'll find it very

comfortable oh fine don't forget to look

me up mr moto

we shall see each other good day mr

wilkie

so long mr brown salon wong

take mr hitting's baggage dockside

chopped up

who's the little japanese gentleman oh

he's an importer i met him on the ship

nice chap

many strange people come to shanghai you

must be very careful

go motors all right we're fraternity

brothers went to the same university

oh that's different hey boy you catching

my baggage

chop suey good

you can't be in love with a girl you

don't even know but i

am from what you told me i should say

that this woman's in a desperate

position and is therefore forced to use

desperate means that's not fair you

don't know anything about her

my boy shanghai is a melting pot of all

sorts of people in distress

for instance we've had a lot of trouble

in the colony with these white russian

women

many of them are very attractive but

being without country and therefore

without passports they often resort to

extreme measures in order to leave china

all that has nothing to do with gloria

you must remember you're not in the

states now

here tradition and custom stand for

something

social circles are very prescribed you

can't disregard them

if everybody's so class conscious here i

don't think i'm gonna like it of course

you will my boy

you'll find shanghai very progressive we

have up-to-date nightclubs a racetrack i

don't

give a hang about that i've got to find

gloria you're not a free agent anymore

my boy

after all you owe something to the

hitchings family

there are plenty of girls of the proper

class here i'll see that you meet them

by george i completely forgot about your

father's letter

that's perfectly blank is this a joke

well that's funny

dad said it was very confidential

excuse me

hello speaking

yes i'll hold on san francisco calling

it must be dead

ready for san francisco just a moment

yes mr hitching senior calling his son

also thank you i will listen in

all right san francisco go ahead hello

hello dan swell i can hear you just as

clear

i said i can hear you very well yes mr

work is here with me now

say dad you know that letter you sent

him well there's nothing on it it's

blank

what then someone must have substituted

it that letter was to warn wilkie to

examine all shipments very carefully

government agents are concentrating on

the recent smuggling in san francisco

we've had several instances of smuggled

diamonds on our ships

yesterday customs guards discovered a

large shipment of narcotics on one of

our liners

there's no clue except that it came from

china

well how was it concealed

in oriental curios

well maybe we can trace the shippers at

this end that's why i'm telephoning you

it looks like the work of a big ring

dealing in a kind of contraband

the point is we are subject to a fine of

two hundred thousand dollars

two hundred thousand i know it's the law

but now about that letter

evidently the ring has been working on

the marco polo

you must be very cautious but you're

probably being watched

all right dad i'll be careful we'll get

on it right away want to talk to mr

wilkie

hold on here's mr hitchings

i heard

naturally i understand

we'll start an investigation at once

goodbye

i can't believe it we've got to trace

those shipments

i don't understand how it was done we

examine everything thoroughly before it

goes abroad

unless it was loaded at incense tim do

our ships take on cargo there too

yes we got a chinese agent there old

chang i never quite trusted him then i

think we'd better run up there and check

on him so do i

but i've got urgent business here i must

clear up first you think i could handle

it alone

yes i think you could as a matter of

fact it would probably be better chang

doesn't know you

because it's not a pleasant prospect

you'll have to catch the one o'clock

express and that gives you barely time

to pack up again

what do you mean today well that's not

such a good idea you forget i'm looking

for someone but this smuggling business

is more important than a

shipboard romance oh yes you're right i

tell you what i'll do i'll make a deal

with you

i'll go to tencent to find out what this

chang knows that's some stuff now wait a

minute i'll go tomorrow meanwhile you've

got to take me all over shanghai and

give me a chance to find gloria is it a

deal

you're on i was young once myself cathy

hotel

one moment please good afternoon what

can i do for you

marco polo to keep an eye on you tanya

avenue

in chinatown will you cut

i never had such luck there's

a saying that if fortunate gambling is

often a sign of success in other fields

what other fields or

business perhaps certainly your

establishment appears prosperous

on the other hand it is possible that

business alone is

not enough if one had

a sideline would you mind explaining

that

is it when to speak confidentially

before so many

all right boys

wait outside not gonna call you

okay boys

[Music]

international club

mr marlov i have access to certain

merchandise

successful partnership

equality equality

same in which you already did

yes and other merchandise

also

and how am i to be certain that you are

what you pretend to be

my dear sir i know what happens to one

who tries to deceive you

i remember the gentleman in the curios

shop in san francisco

the gentleman in the wicker crate am i a

fool to take such a risk unless uh

unless what unless i am

what i claim to be shall we trust each

other mr marlow

what is your connection with young

hedgings

i too was following him to discover why

he was on his way to shanghai

the united states government is

beginning to be too much interested in

smuggling

we are both in the same business mr

marlow shall we not combine

forces for our own protection and profit

i think we shall get along together mr

moto i was sure you were a good judge of

character mr marlow

what about young mr hitchings and the

girl

mercs show mr moto our vault

and what do you propose to do with them

the young woman will go with me

the gentleman has hurt too much we have

a cure for him the river

i think you're wrong wrong way my dear

malov

i agree with you desperate one penalty

for treachery

slit her throat and be done with it but

the young man

after all he's the son of the owner of

the hitching slam

a millionaire he may be worth a lot of

money to us

alive what you want

can you direct me to the gambling room

very sorry gamble room closed for

tonight

closed we have a shipment already on

board our launch

perhaps you would like to go with us to

deliver it to the marco polo

excellent and we can dispose of the

young lady on the way

max open the door

oh mr welking where's young hitchings

what does this mean i demand that you

release him at once

and if we do now get away from him

so that's what you are he's a crook he's

in with milo i think gentlemen all this

excitement is hardly necessary

and tell me i'll handle him yes i've got

to get you out of here as soon as

possible

i'm late because i

say that man that man is police by

that japanese he is the one who shot me

he is the man i had followed to police

station

stand perfectly still

pleased to come over here but mr motor

now think first mr moto so you're a

police spy huh

don't accept yourself

mr marco you won't do any more spying

well then

let's have it over with it once

often i have won

i can also lose

[Music]

those people to the boat you have to

leave at once

and now mr moto if you please

here

get up mr maloff mr winky

may i request you to secure his gun

you'll find it inside his coat

it went off i took hold of the gun and

it shot him

also that would seem to dispose of mr

marlov

hello chief mr motor what's happened we

got your telephone message

mr marlowe was shot accidentally by mr

wilkin

i'm sorry mr moto you had me fool would

you saved our lives old man

your apologies accepted mr bob i must

apologize too mr motor i didn't know

let me congratulate you what

what is all this mr motor well who are

you anyway

i think this will explain you recognize

the company

well then you're i have the honor to be

the managing director

you've heard of us of course you're our

best customer but

i don't understand i was forced to take

matters into my own hands

my business as well as yours was being

seriously jeopardized

by the smuggling activities of mr

marlowe and

his friends well then you're not a

detective after all oh

only as a hobby but what's all this got

to do with me

i demand that mr wealthy you are not in

a position

to demand it was not an accident

that mr wilkie shot mr marlowe what

no i first suspected

that some person in a responsible

position had something to do with the

smuggling

when i read this letter mr hitchings

gave his son to deliver to you mr wilkie

and here it is and

when mr marlov made the unfortunate

error of recognizing you upstairs

i began to think i might be correct and

when you found this room

and knew the correct code signal to gain

admission

i was practically certain but i wanted

even stronger proof

so i decided to give you an opportunity

to kill the only man who knew

that you were the head of this ring of

smugglers

mr motor your young leader would be all

right we see you

what happened to her someone shot her

while she was telephoning us

also then i suggest that you see if

there's not a gun

with one cartridge fired in mr

the river police caught the rest of the

gang thank you chief

well mr moto i thought you were shot yes

aren't you hurt

oh yes but fortunately i was wearing my

new style vestibule

quite uncomfortable but very effective

for such occasions

oh well now i know you're the one that

put that note under my door you wanted

wilkie to come here

alfo omega mr bob powerful omega mr moro

alfo omega

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
