INSPECTOR: The entire ugly affair began on a beautiful spring day in Paris.

I was taking a pleasant stroll past the Left Bank when...

(GUN SHOTS)

MAN IN BANK: Catch thief!

Halt in the name of the law.

Now I've got you, you thieving dog.

What the...

Let go, you dirty copper!

(CRASHING)

(WHISTLE TRILLING)

Quick, men, after him. He went that way.

I'll return this money and...

Put me down, I'm not a thief!

I'm a police inspector. Do you hear me?

I tell you, I'm innocent, I'm really a policeman.

So, impersonating an officer, eh?

But... But...

Your address for the next ten years will be Block 13, Cell 13.

Take him away.

INSPECTOR: I'm no crook. I'm a police officer.

Hello, copper.

You hear that? He knows who I really am!

I ought to.

You sent me up for 20 years, remember?

I'm a crook. I'm a crook. I'm a crook.

(PUNCHES SOUNDING)

(INSPECTOR GROANING)

Break tonight. Pass it on.

Break tonight. Pass it on.

Break tonight. Pass it on.

Break tonight. Pass it on.

Break tonight. Pass it on.

INSPECTOR: The only way I could prove my innocence

and find the real thief was to escape.

But how?

Then something caught my eye.

Light coming through the wall!

This stone was loose. A loose stone.

It took all my strength, but I finally dislodged it.

(GRUNTING)

Who are you?

I am the Count of Monté Frisco.

INSPECTOR: I wonder where that leads to.

(SINGING)

(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)

Why, what a lovely day for a swim, Monsieur le Warden, eh?

There!

That will add one more year to your sentence.

(CAR BACKFIRES)

Come on, get this car started.

WARDEN: Come on, I'm late already.

(BARS CLANGING)

(CAR SCREECHES TO HALT)

Two more years!

Five more years.

(WHISTLING)

(CRASHING)

WARDEN: Ten more years.

(BANGS)

(CRASHING)

Okay, the warden says to come in.

(DUCKS CAWING)

(QUACKING)

(SIREN WAILING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Finished at last.

WARDEN: Not quite.

You have one more rock to break up.

One more rock, and I'm free. Free!

(LAUGHING)
