Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount

of danger.

>> Oh, Barry.

>> Danger from what? The dogs, the butler,

your father.

>> I I can't tell you.

>> Hello, baby.

Your first trip across the channel?

>> No.

>> Going to London, huh?

>> That's evident, isn't it?

>> You don't remember me, do you?

>> Since I've never seen you before, I'm

afraid I don't.

>> Well, I'm the guy that was standing at

the doorway when you came out of our

Brimman's place in Paris this morning.

>> El Brimmans? I don't know what you're

talking about. Don't try to kid me,

sister. A bragian that sells drugs.

>> You're mistaken. Please go away from me.

>> Where have you got this stuff in there?

>> Keep your hands off me.

>> Ah,

>> I said keep your hands off me.

>> Let me alone. Do you hear me?

>> Hey,

>> I

just got him to sleep. Come on, boy. He

wakes up and wants his bottle.

You made one of my fondest dreams come

true.

>> And what might that be?

>> To rescue a lovely lady in distress.

>> I'm so glad. How does it feel to be a

hero?

>> Terrible. Thanks.

>> Now that I'm your own true knight, you

must tell me your name so I can wear

your favor on my shining armor.

>> No, I can't tell you. Please don't ask.

>> Well, if you don't tell me your name and

where I can find you, how do you expect

me to ever see you again? I don't expect

you to. Please don't even try.

>> Hey, what kind of Arabian night stuff is

this?

>> Oh, I I can't explain, but Well, you're

an American and so am I. And that's all

we can ever know about each other.

>> Oh, I see. Then I'm just supposed to

forget you ever existed.

>> Please do.

>> All right, Miss Mystery.

You won't tell me. I'll find out for

myself.

When you make up your mind to anything,

you don't fool around, do you?

I'm sorry. Should have thrown me

overboard instead of the bag.

Tom

>> Barry. Oh boy. How are you?

>> Tom Star, the Sherlock Holmes of my own

my native land.

>> I heard you're in town, so I thought I'd

drop by and say hello.

>> Well, sit down and take the weight off

your mind. Thanks.

>> Do you ditch your work fast? I haven't

been in London an hour. I bet the ink

isn't even dry on the hotel register

downstairs.

>> Well, then it's a little early to ask

you how you like London.

>> For the love of Pete, how did you find

out I was here?

>> Professional secret. We can't give him

away.

>> What are you doing in London, Tom?

>> I'm looking for a murderer.

>> I see. You can't find any in the States.

You have to come to London to find one.

[laughter]

>> I did for this one.

>> Who do you kill?

>> Oh, a book collector in Chicago.

>> Now, why would anyone want to kill a

book collector in Chicago?

>> That's what the police want to find out.

Hey, what's the matter with your hand?

>> Oh, that I bumped that against romance.

>> So, you ought to wear boxing gloves when

you're globe trotting. What happened?

>> Oh, played hero coming over from Cala.

>> I see. Same old story. Pretty girl,

fresh guy. Boom.

>> Oh, no. No. She wouldn't even tell me

her name.

>> Oh, smart girl. Well, Barry, I guess

I'll have to hop along.

>> Won't you hurry, Tom?

>> Well, I'm pretty busy. I'll see you

later. When are you leaving for the

States?

>> Not till I find that girl.

>> Oh, is this thing serious?

>> Oh, no. Only I'm going to marry her.

>> Well, that's pretty serious.

>> I wonder who else knows I'm in town.

>> H, that girl of yours is a pretty fast

worker. Ink isn't dry on the register

and you're getting notes, huh?

>> It's my lawyer named Coventry.

>> Oh, breach a promise suit already, huh?

>> Now, how do you like this? He signs

himself my obedient servant and commands

me to come to his office tomorrow.

[laughter]

>> Well, good luck, Barry. Don't sign

anything I wouldn't. I'll call you

later. Let you know where you can reach

me. Okay, let's get together soon to so

long aboard.

>> So long.

>> You, Mr. Patty Wild.

>> That's right.

>> My name is Coventry.

>> Yes, I gathered that from your army of

clerks.

>> Clerks? Oh, yes. Class. Yes, quite so.

Uh, will you take a seat?

>> Thank you.

>> You've been knocking around the wall

quite a lot during the last few months.

>> Yes, I have. But how did you know?

>> I've been tracing you. Come in, Peter.

Sit down. Mr. Wilder, what was your

family name on your mother's side?

>> Travanian. My mother was English, born

here in London.

>> I knew I was right. My boy, you are the

sole heir of your uncle.

>> As I've heard that one. Now you're going

to tell me my uncle died and left me a

fortune.

>> Exactly. He passed away about a year

ago. I was his solicitor.

>> An uncle and gone before I even knew I

had it.

>> He was a very eccentric man, your uncle,

wasn't he, Peters?

>> Most eccentric.

Bomb me in the head, if you ask me.

>> Yes. Nobody asked you. Now with regard

to this inheritance, it includes a large

estate some 15 mi from here near a town

called Fington. Place is called the

Hawks Nest. It's been the home of the

Travenians for many generations. Each

new heir must sign an ironclad agreement

never to let it pass from his

possession. Here is the paper you must

sign. But first, let me read you this.

By ye blood that cometh from my heart, I

swear to keep ye hawks nest till death

do us part. Now, what do you think of

that? [laughter]

>> The sentiments swell, but uh as poetry,

it has a slight aroma. I quite agree

with you, but that was written by your

ancestor, old John Tbanian, some 300

years ago.

>> Where do I sign?

>> Right here, under the signatures of a

dozen or so of your forefathers. For

just a moment, it must be written in

blood, remember?

>> It'll have to wait till I shave. We'll

fool the old boy. We will use reading.

Reading to get out of the red. That's a

hot one.

Peter,

>> that will be all. Peter,

>> sir.

>> I must tell you, Mr. Barry, that the

Hawks Nest has been unoccupied since the

passing of your uncle. It might be in

need of repair.

>> Yes, it would. With me broke almost.

Perhaps I should have told you that the

inheritance also includes some £10,000.

>> £10,000?

>> Yes, that in American money is

approximately £50,000

>> bucks.

>> Bucks quite so. A goodly sum.

>> I'll tell the world it's a goodly sum.

Say, you're not kidding me, are you

>> kidding? Oh, you mean am I spoofing you

or pulling your leg?

>> Yes, that's it.

>> No, I can assure you that everything is,

as you would say, on the up and up.

>> Well, how about a little sugar on the

line now? Sugar.

>> Yes. You know an advance.

>> Oh, I anticipated that. Here is 100

about 100 bucks.

>> Well, mock my brow.

Hello, fellas. See, I thought this place

was vacant. Never minding now. Let's try

and get along.

>> I say, what are you doing in here? Be

quiet. Will you get out of these grounds

at once? Hey, who do you think you are?

>> We shan go into personality, sir. Get

out.

>> Listen, tough guy. It just happens I own

this place.

>> Will you get out of these grounds, or

shall I be compelled to throw you out?

>> Neither. As lawful owner of this place,

I intend to stay here.

>> We'll see about that, Greg.

>> Who is this man?

>> A trespasser.

>> Trespass in my eye. I'm on my own

property. I'm afraid, my friend, that

you're suffering from hallucinations,

illusions of grandeur. I hope you're not

violent.

>> No, but I'm going to become violent in

about 3 seconds. I have neither the time

nor the inclination to argue with an

obviously insane man.

Now, get out.

Calm yourself, my dear boy. You're

behaving exactly like your late uncle.

>> But it is my property, isn't it?

>> There's absolutely no doubt of it.

>> All right, then. What burns me up is

being driven off the place at the point

of two dogs, a butler, and an old guy

with a gun.

>> But there must be some mistake. I'll

have them vacate immediately.

>> Carpentry speaking.

Of course, sir. He's right here.

I'll inform him.

Something most extraordinary has

happened. Don't tell me that Wild West

shaw was moved out.

>> No, but that was an offer to buy the

Hawks Nest

>> from the old guy with a gun.

>> Well, I urge you to sell immediately.

The price was an excellent one.

>> But how can I sell? I signed an

agreement to keep the Hawks Nest as long

as I live. Besides, I don't want to sell

it.

>> Nevertheless, I advise you to sell at

once and get out of England.

>> Why?

>> I'm not at the liberty to inform you of

that.

>> There's something very phony about this.

>> Phony?

>> Yes. Listen, I think you're mixed up in

it.

>> Are you accusing me of double dealing?

>> Maybe it's only double crossing.

>> I advise you to be careful what you say,

young man.

>> I'm going to find out what this is all

about. Maybe you will find out

>> more than is good for you.

>> I'll take my chances.

>> I don't know who he was. He came to the

house this afternoon, said he was the

legal owner of Hawk Nest. If that's

true, it will certainly complicate

matters.

>> Complicate matters? Subertam, it means

our whole plan will be ruined and we'll

be exposed.

>> But you say he didn't get into the

house.

>> No.

Fortunately, the dog set up an alarm in

time. Gregory and I managed to frighten

him off.

>> In all probability, the man's an

impostor,

but we can't take that chance.

>> I don't like this, Sebertum. You told me

the place was vacant. There were no

heirs. That we wouldn't be disturbed.

How much more time do you need?

>> Two days, two months, I can't tell. But

I feel I'm on the verge of definitely

finding out one way or the other.

>> We can't stop now.

>> But certainly, Sir Bertram, as home

secretary, you must have influence

enough to keep the man away.

>> You go back to the Hawks Nest. I'll

attend to him.

>> Thank you.

Well,

>> remember me?

>> Remember you? I'm staying in London just

to find you.

>> Aren't you going to invite me in?

>> I'm going to drag you in.

I uh I want to talk to you. Do you mind?

>> No, but I promise you I won't hear a

word you say. I'm just going to look at

you. Now,

>> please be serious.

>> And you're the girl I was supposed to

[music] forget.

>> I want to ask you a favor. A very great

favor, Mr. Wilding.

>> Mr. Wilding. Very to you, young lady.

>> My name is [music] Julie. Julie Kenmore.

>> Delighted to know you, Miss Kenmore.

Julie, you sit down.

Tell me, how do you happen to know my

name and where to find me?

>> Well, you see, your lawyer, I uh

>> Mr. Coventry.

>> Yes.

>> The mystery thickens. But of course,

about this favor, it's already granted.

>> But you don't know what it is,

>> woman. Anything even to the half of my

kingdom.

>> Or the Hawk's Nest.

>> The Hawks Nest? What do you know about

the Hawk's Nest?

>> I'm living there. Say

>> I'm living there

>> with two ugly dogs, an ugly butler, and

an old guy with a gun.

>> Yes, the old guy with a gun is my

father.

>> Oh, and perhaps it was you who wanted to

buy the hawk's nest.

>> I didn't know anyone wanted to buy it.

>> Were you at home this afternoon when I

called?

>> Yes.

>> You saw me?

>> Yes. From my porch.

>> Why didn't you come out into the garden?

>> I I can't explain.

Say, I thought [music] all the mysteries

were in books.

>> Barry,

I want you to promise me something.

>> What is it?

>> That you let my father and me stay at

the Hawks Nest for 6 months.

>> If I had my way, you'd stay there

forever.

>> Thank you, Baron.

>> And I'll come and see you every day.

>> Oh, no. You must stay away until after

we're gone.

>> Stay away? Why?

>> I I can't tell you, but it's very

important.

Nothing is very important except you.

>> Please, Barry.

>> I must go now.

>> All right. But only until tomorrow.

Why bless me so it's a gentleman who

dropped in yesterday and at lunchon.

>> Yes, and I can still taste it.

>> What? I hope that's no infection on me

cooking, sir.

>> Oh, no, Mrs. Shipp. I meant it so good.

I'm back for more. And you shall have

it, sir.

>> The fact is, I'd like to take a room.

>> A room? Of course, sir. We'd be so happy

to have you. Every

now, sir, if you'd kindly sign the guest

book. You'll have the loveliest room in

the house.

Uh, Emry.

>> Henry, this is our new guest, Mr.

Wilding of New York. The husband, Mr.

Shepherd.

>> How do you do? It's a great pleasure,

sir.

>> The queen hand room enory.

>> The queen hand room, deary.

>> You heard me.

>> Yes, dear.

This space.

Oh, never mind. I'll take this one.

>> It's very kind of you, sir.

>> Poor soul. It is arthritis.

>> Oh, that's too bad.

>> He calls it rheumatism, but Hi calls it

arthritis. Hi likes to keep up to date

night.

And very nice, Mrs. Shippen.

>> Thank you, sir. I'm sure you'll be

comfortable. That'll be all, Henry.

>> Yes, dear.

Oh, thank you kindly, sir.

>> I hope you noticed the chair, sir. It's

a genuine queen hand.

>> No. How can you tell?

>> The legs, of course.

>> Well, I wouldn't know about that. I've

never seen Queen Anne's legs.

>> Oh, [laughter]

get Mr. Carpentry. The solister.

>> Tell his lordship I'll be with him in

exactly 1 hour.

>> Very well, Sir Bert.

>> See that all the papers in my portfolio?

>> Yes, sir.

Mr. Carry Evans speaking.

>> Oh, Sir Bertram, I'm honored.

Oh, I know that, sir. But he flatly

refused to sell at any price.

>> And I refuse to take no for an answer. I

expect immediate results. Is that clear?

>> I know, sir, but he he's he's entirely

disappeared. I I I don't know where he

is.

>> Very well. I'll take care of the matter

in my own way.

Get me commission across of Scotland

Yard.

>> Barry,

what are you doing here?

>> I'm just coming to look over my castle.

>> You must not come here. You promised you

wouldn't.

>> I promise nothing excepting to let you

stay here for 6 months.

>> But don't you say

>> Come on, sit and I want to talk to you.

>> Oh, I wish I could make you understand.

>> Understand? What?

>> That's just it. I can't tell you. All I

can say is you must stay away from here.

>> But why?

>> Because you're in great danger.

>> Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount

of danger.

>> Oh, Barry. Danger from what? The dogs,

the butler, your father.

>> I I can't tell you.

>> Not ghosts.

Not good old chain clanking ghost.

>> Now you're getting silly.

>> Why am I?

>> I must go in before father misses me.

>> How about me? I'll miss you, too.

>> Maybe father won't miss you if he comes

out with that gun.

>> Not that I care, but how is your father?

Barry, please go. And I beg of you,

don't come back here.

>> Well, I don't think it'll

Goodbye, Miss Mystery.

Good afternoon, Mr. Wilding. I hope you

had a pleasant stroll.

>> Is very pleasant. Uh, Mrs. Shippen, do

you happen to know anyone living around

here by the name of Kenmore?

>> No,

not around Fairington.

>> I understood they were living at the

Hawks Nest.

>> The Hawks Nest?

Nobody's up the Orc's Nest. Not since

Mr. Mr. Daniel went to his reward.

>> I must have been misinformed.

>> Nobody would live there, sir. It's

haunted.

>> That's interesting. I've always wanted

to see a ghost in the flesh, as it were.

>> Well, I'd rather it should be your eyes,

I see them, and not mine.

Stay where you are.

So, it's you again. What are you doing

here? Defending my own property. Don't

start that again. I was coming to talk

to you when this lug and his buddy

jumped on me. The other one got away.

>> A desperate murderous type if I ever saw

one. But I'll cure that. Except the

missing finger, sir.

>> Oh,

I think that'll make him easier to

handle.

>> [screaming]

>> Stewie find her. Now you get out of

here. I'll use the element of the gun on

you.

>> It's about time the police stepped into

this. If they do, they'll step right out

again. I assure you. Now go.

Bring him into the house.

We'll be out of it in about 5 minutes.

>> Oh,

>> who is that?

>> A murderer, perhaps?

Come help me get ready.

>> Dad, no. Please. It would be an awful

thing if it were found out.

>> You're in great danger. You must leave

before they return.

Now hurry.

You guys want to see him? It'll cost you

10 bucks.

>> Not me. I wouldn't pay 10 bucks to see

an earthquake.

>> Me either. It's all yours, Dan.

I never saw a guy take the chances you

do.

>> Want to play another hand?

>> No. I'm sick of this. I'm fed up with

everything. I'm fed up with this town

and all I want to do is get back to New

York.

>> Me, too. I got a notion to hop the next

boat back to Brooklyn.

>> Well, that's perfectly all right with

me. I can handle this job alone.

>> Listen, Dan, if we knew what this thing

was all about, maybe we'd feel more like

sticking.

>> Yeah, like last night. I'd take a

beating and you get knocked cold. If it

hadn't been for that day, slipped you to

business. And

>> what? What do you care? I'm paying you

good money for helping me, ain't I?

>> You've been talking, big dough. Why

don't you kick in with some of it?

You play along with me and you'll have

more dough than you ever saw before in

your lives.

>> Say, you ain't fixing to pay us off with

phony dough, are you?

>> Not your hammerhead.

>> Okay, let's have some action. What do we

do next?

>> We make another little call at the

Hawk's Nest tonight. But we got to work

fast so that Kenmore Dam and her old man

will beat us to it. Now, come on. Let's

play another little game, eh?

You're sure this won't take much longer?

I can't be certain, but I feel we should

know something very soon. I hope so,

because if my connection with this

matter ever leaked out, I shudder to

think of the consequences. I'm afraid it

would be disastrous for us all. What

about that young guy?

>> He's gone. Disappeared.

>> Do you think he suspected anything? I'm

sure he didn't. If he should turn up

again, let me know. Good night. My car

is waiting down the driveway with the

lights out. Good night. Good night.

>> Good night.

>> Come there.

[screaming]

DROP IT.

>> DROP IT.

>> Take your hands off me. Take them off of

me. Do you hear? Let go of me. Let go of

me. Help me. Take it out away from me.

TAKE IT AWAY. THEY'RE KILLING ME. HELP

YOU.

>> This will let go of me. Let go. Do you

HEAR ME? LET GO OF ME. Let go. Let

go.

Take him back.

I ordered you to stay away from here.

>> As lucky for you, I didn't take you

seriously. You might not be here

yourself.

>> I don't need your help.

>> Now, what you do needs a good poke in

the nose.

>> Barry, you don't understand.

>> If anyone says that to me again, I'll do

a swell imitation of that guy. Who is a

poor fellow anyhow?

>> He um he's my brother. I'm treating him

for a nervous disease.

>> And the treatments consists of giving

him shots in the arm and bouncing a butt

end of a gun off his head. I'd imagine.

>> You imagine too much.

>> Barry, you must go.

>> Sure. I'll go right to the police and

I'll even tell him that Sir Bertam's

mixed up in this.

>> How did you know?

>> I saw him. I recognized him from his

pictures in the paper.

>> You mustn't tell anything.

>> Why not?

Oh, I see. It's something I don't

understand.

>> Yes,

>> that's right. But I'm going to

Get me his wallet.

>> It's not in.

>> We knew what we were looking for. Maybe

we could find it. Shut up. Come on.

Just a moment, please.

>> Gee, I'm glad to see you. It's the first

time I ever heard of a cop being where

he was needed most. Right. You are, me,

young, bucko. What were you doing in

there?

>> I own this place.

>> You're drunk. Nobody owns the orc's

nest.

>> I tell you, I own it.

>> Is that so? Well, just come along with

me and tell it to a sergeant. Maybe he'd

like to buy it from you.

>> Will you still try and get this through

your head? I'm the owner of the Hawk's

Nest.

>> I was wrong. He's not sober yet.

>> Is everybody crazy around here? I get

slugged and robbed in my own garden and

you pinched me for being tight.

>> You just got through telling us the

bandits didn't take anything.

>> Most unusual kind of bandits, if you ask

me.

>> Listen, I'll go to Scotland Yard with

this.

>> There's just one place for you to go,

and that's home to bed to sleep this

off.

>> But there's nothing to sleep off or to

bang in the head.

>> And if ever you're caught around the

hawk's nest again, I'll have you locked

up.

>> Now that's just dandy. And on what

charges?

>> Trespassing and suspected of being of

unsound mind. I'm

>> been stepping out, huh?

>> You don't know the half of it. How did

you get in here?

>> All locks are open to detectives, my

friend.

>> What new?

>> Oh, nothing much. I happened to be in

the neighborhood on a clue, and your

landlady told me to wait. Said you'd

gone for a stroll.

>> And what a stroll?

>> Well, I dropped by to hear the rest of

that story about your being made a duke

or something. been crowned yet?

>> Have I feel that?

>> What happened to you? Plenty since I saw

you last. Will you get a load of this?

Anybody at home?

>> What are you trying to do, you young

scamp? Wake up all the guests.

>> Yes, I got a letter for him.

>> Well, give it to me and be home with

you. In the next time, don't try to tear

down me.

>> And the payoff is I'm not to say a word

to a living soul, or they'll judge me

for being of unsound mind.

>> There must be something you don't

understand.

>> Oh, and now my best friend tells me.

>> Well, it's got me. Maybe when I get my

job done, I can give you a hand.

>> It's probably Cinderella, Jack in the

Beanto.

>> Oh, it's Mother Goose. This just kind of

a special sir.

>> Thank you, Miss Jeffy.

>> Looks important.

>> Some Coventry, my lawyer.

My dear Wilding, I enclose something I

just found on your late uncle's effects.

I have the slightest notion what it is.

>> Looks like a piece of old parchment.

Half of it's torn off.

>> Will you hear this? Incidentally, sir,

you will be doing yourself a great

service by selling the Hawk's Nest and

returning to America.

>> I can't make much out of this with half

of it gone. It's an old English to my

son. If need of ye hall, fire and

underwater, ye something, Don Silvos.

>> Now, don't tell me it's signed by King

Arthur.

>> No, John something. Last name's torn

off.

>> Well, that would be John Travan. He

built the Hawks Nest three centuries

ago. Sounds like something out of

Treasure Island.

>> Yeah,

>> more like John Travenion doing his

homework.

>> Well, I wish I had time to help you go

into that, Barry, but I got my own

troubles.

>> I'm sorry you can't stay, John.

>> Yeah, so am I. See you later. I'd hang

on to that might be important.

>> Oh, sure.

>> Yeah, maybe the key to a treasure hidden

at Hawk's Nest.

>> Uh-huh. And the girl and her father and

a gang of thugs are trying to beat me to

it.

>> Yeah, that's exactly what I think.

>> And I think you're touched in the head.

Oh,

>> no. That was you. Well, so long. Call me

up.

What's the idea of scaring a witch out

of a guy? I kind of got a home sick for

popcorn.

>> It's a good thing I didn't let you have

it.

>> Can I help it cuz you got noise?

>> You get that stuff already popped after

this.

>> Oh, popping it yourself is half the fun.

>> Playing circus.

>> Nope. Mean Jumpy just got a y for

popcorn.

>> Well, forget it and listen to what I've

got to say.

>> Now get this. Tom Star is in London.

>> How do you know?

>> I saw him in that in where Wilding is

staying. I just came from there. Did he

see you? I wish I knew. That dick can

see with his ears and the back of his

head.

>> So what? He ain't got nothing on us.

>> That's not the idea. Then what is the

idea? If he knows we're in town, he'll

have us watched, which won't do us a bit

of good with that Hawk's Nest job.

>> Look, Dan, why don't you break down and

tell us what that Hawk's Nest job is all

about?

>> Sure. We're tired of working in the dark

all the time.

>> Are you trying to be funny?

>> No. Well, I'd like to know what I'm

doing.

>> He's right. I'm going to know something

or else I'm lamming out of this.

Okay.

There's a treasure hidden somewhere

around Hulk's Nest.

>> Gee, you mean they got some dough or

something planted around there?

>> Yeah.

>> Any proof?

>> Not exactly.

>> Oh, it's a game, huh?

>> A game.

Take a look at that.

>> A funny looking paper. Must be pretty

old.

>> That's parchment. Didn't you ever hear

of it?

>> Certainly. That's what they make lamp

shades out of. Don't make sense to me.

Half it is torn off.

A phony looking spelling.

>> Gee, the guy with wrote that sure must

have been the champ hookie player his

school, huh?

>> That my fathead old English.

>> I'll bite. What does it say?

>> Is pretty old.

>> Hawk's Nest in Fington. Turn ye clenched

hand at ye fireplace and under rock

shall treasure. Now half the signature

is gone, but the last part of it is

onion. Maybe you ought to turn it over

to a mind greeter.

>> That's a good idea. See, I know a

swelling down in Coney Island.

>> All I need is the missing part. Then I

can read it all.

>> What is it anyway?

>> That's a cryptogram.

>> That's what I thought it was.

>> Who do you think has got the missing

part?

>> Why that Wilding guy? Of course. He

inherited the place. That's why I've

been tailing them.

>> Well, what about the girl and the wrong

man?

>> I think they know about the treasure and

trying to beat Wilding to it.

>> Crossing him up, huh?

>> Of course.

said, "Maybe they're the ones that's got

the torn off part of that paper."

>> Did you think that all up by your little

self?

>> Why certainly I'm quick at getting

things like that. See, you know, the

year I went to school,

>> where did you get a hold of that

parchment thing?

>> That's none of your business.

>> Hello,

>> Barry. Is there no way to make you

understand the danger you're in?

>> Had a nice beating up, if that's what

you mean.

>> Beating up by whom? as they say in

court, by persons unknown. Unless you

happen to know who did it.

>> Oh, no, I don't. Oh, that isn't it at

all.

>> And what is it?

>> Well, I I can't.

>> Now, let's don't go into that I can't

explain routine.

>> Barry Wilding, if something terrible

happens to you here, it will be your own

fault. I've done everything I can to

warn you.

>> Forget it. By the way, how are you

getting home with your little treasure

hunt?

>> Quite well, thank you.

>> Aren't you a little handicapped without

the other half of a cryptogram?

>> Yes, aren't you?

>> Sure, but if I hadn't promised to let

you stay in this house for 6 months, I

could find it without any cryptogram.

>> Aren't you kidding?

>> Come on, stop acting. Let's each

contribute a missing half, find the

treasure, and spread it 50/50.

>> That would be a great idea if I knew

what you were talking about.

>> Oh, I see. I can't explain. You mustn't

ask, will you? You You don't understand.

>> I think I better leave you to your

jokes.

>> Yes.

>> Commissioner Cross will see now, Mr. St.

>> Thank you.

Well, sir, happy to see you again.

>> When we met in New York, Commissioner, I

had no idea you'd soon be big boss of

Scotland Yard.

>> Neither did I, Frank. Smoke.

>> Well, thank you.

Sit down.

Over here on business, I see that

Chicago murderer.

>> No need to ask how you knew. Scotland

Yard is always Scotland Yard and no

grass is allowed to grow on it.

Thank you, sir. A fine compliment and a

good quip or a gag, you probably say.

Need any help finding your murderer? Not

yet. I came to talk to you about

something else. It concerns a mysterious

situation at a country estate called the

Hawks Nest.

>> Tell me, Star,

do you uh still eat at that little fish

and chips place near Time Square?

Occasionally

Hawk's Nest was inherited by a friend of

mine, Barry Wilding.

>> Have you ever tried our fish and chips

over here?

>> Well, not

now. This young fellow was slugged while

on his own premises and then warned to

keep away or the wild tale of an

imaginative kid who wants to be a hero.

>> Oh, no, Commissioner. This is the truth.

>> Well, what do you want me to do about

it? Well, investigate. I think that

place is headquarters for a gang of

crooks.

>> Nonsense.

>> Suppose I told you that Subertum was

seen there under very suspicious

circumstances.

>> I should say you're Stark raving mad.

>> Well, I'm getting mad, but not the way

you mean.

>> Star,

I advise you to confine your attention

to your murderer.

>> If that's the way you feel about it,

I'll blow this case wide open myself.

There is a case and I warn you, if you

try to meddle, you'll find yourself back

in Echo without your murderer.

>> I think you're shielding a gang of

crooks.

>> Good day, sir.

>> And what's more, I'll go to the American

ambassador about this and we'll see.

>> Said good day, sir. And I suggest that

you watch your step.

>> Good day, Commissioner.

Commissioner.

>> Good morning, your son. Well, what's

nothing much? By the way, I see that

Mson had some sort of stroke in prison

last night. He may die.

>> Going to cheat the gallows, eh? It looks

like it.

>> Well, let's get down to business.

>> Perhaps this may interest you.

What time?

>> I don't know exactly.

>> I wish I could go in your place.

>> Oh, for goodness sakes, Dad. Stop

worrying. London's only 15 miles away.

>> Here's the stuff I need. Tell them to

make a double strength this time.

Never can tell what might happen.

>> All right.

>> Be sure no one sees you go in or come

out.

You'll be all right, won't you?

>> Of course. Gregory and I can handle the

situation.

>> I'll take the path through the woods so

I won't be seen leaving here.

>> Good idea.

>> Bye, Dad.

We seeing you.

Hey, miss.

I'd like to talk to you, Miss Kenmore.

>> What about?

>> Can't tell you here. We'll go inside.

>> You can talk to me here.

>> Oh, no. It's about your father. I don't

think you'd want anyone to hear what

I've got to say.

>> All right.

Come in.

Hello, Tom.

>> Wow. I see you still prefer swans in to

a horse nest.

>> Yeah, too many bad eggs in that nest.

>> What are you doing? Magnifying your

troubles?

>> No, looking into the future. What's on

your mind, Tommy? Benny?

>> Plenty. I'm burnt up. I've just come

back from Scotland Yard where I've been

shooting off my face about you.

>> Wow, Tom, you shouldn't have done that.

>> Yeah, I found that out. One crack out of

me and that commissioner went as cold as

a banker's heart.

>> You're lucky. One crack on my head and I

land in the Hooska as a drunk.

>> Barry, I've got some great news for you.

I could use some.

>> You got pirates in your family and

>> you've got Bat Your Belffrey.

>> Well, anyway, you did have old John

Travian who built the Hawks Nest.

>> What? A pirate like this?

Yeah, that's the kind. I looked up your

family history in the British Museum

Library.

>> Listen here, you nosy pup. Keep away

from my family tree.

>> Barry, I I hate to tell you this, but

seriously, I think that gang at Hoax

Nest is after something that belongs to

you.

>> Is Julie mixed up in it?

>> I'm afraid she is.

>> Oh, you're crazy, Tom. How about Sir

Bertam Evans?

>> Well, that I can't figure, but I'm

certainly going to find out.

But just what did he say?

>> It wasn't what he said. It's what he

intended at.

>> Did it sound as if he really knew

something?

>> Yes.

>> Did he make any threats?

>> Not in so many words. He just said if we

ever saw him around here to keep our

mouth shut or else.

>> He's just a cheap blood.

>> He may not be so cheap if he really

knows anything.

>> Come, honey, get ready for dinner.

We'll think of some means to take care

of him.

Okay.

Julie.

Julie, what happened? Who did it?

Oh,

>> I don't know. Please take me back

upstairs.

>> Tell me what happened.

>> I was awakened by something.

And I slipped down here into the living

room and saw two men there by the

fireplace.

I started to scream

when somebody or something grabbed me

around the throat.

I must have fainted.

>> Julie, you're going to get out of here

tonight.

>> Oh, no. I'll be all right. I'm not

afraid. [screaming]

[laughter]

>> Oh, Barry, you must go now.

>> And leave you here with that thing,

whatever it is. Not a chance.

What's he doing here again?

>> He had a nightmare. Imagined I was in

danger and himself in.

>> Julie, I don't intend to warn you again.

Next time I'll shoot. I'll clear out.

With pleasure. I have no desire to stay

around a den of lunatics or crooks.

Barry,

>> I want you to promise not to come back

here.

>> I'll promise nothing.

>> Is that final?

>> It certainly is.

>> But you won't tell anyone what's

happened here.

>> Don't make me laugh. Of course I will.

>> Will you wait until tomorrow afternoon?

>> Why tomorrow afternoon?

>> Meet me in the garden where you saw me

yesterday. I'll explain.

>> All right, I'll be there.

Are you there?

Crowd speaking.

>> Sorry to disturb you, Cross. It's about

wilding. He's been here again. I want

you to get him out of the way.

>> That settles it. We'll attend to his

case.

>> Thank you.

>> Dad, was that really necessary?

>> Of course. We can't take any more

chances with that medalsome young fool.

>> I have bad news for you, sir.

>> Yeah, you're just the type.

>> Miss Julie asked me to tell you she

couldn't meet you here, sir.

>> Why not?

>> She's ill.

>> Oh, I'm sorry. Is that all she said?

>> You had to have come to the house to see

her.

>> After all, man promised to shoot me. Oh,

that's a laugh.

>> She said to tell you her father's in his

room and won't disturb you.

On my word, sir. I'm telling you the

truth.

>> Well, there's only one way to find out.

>> Oh, no. You go first.

>> I'll inform Miss Julie, you're here,

sir.

>> Thank you.

>> Well, I found out. I walked right into

it, didn't I? Congratulations, Miss

Kenmore. And you, too, sir. You pardon

me if I don't shake hands on it. Take

him upstairs and lock him up. Very well,

sir.

>> Well, well, it's cause a little spot you

have here.

>> You'll be comfortable enough if you

behave yourself.

>> Man, quiet to whom the pleasure of this

little romp?

>> You'll find out. Good day, sir.

Well, Well, there it is.

>> Gee, then nothing can stop us now, huh?

>> I hope not.

>> Let me take a gander at that thing.

>> To my sunny at hawks nesty. If the needy

arise, turny ye clenched handy at yey.

Nice talk.

>> Here, give me that.

>> Hey, Jumpy. We found the other part of

that crippled gam.

>> Where'd you find it?

>> In his wallet laying at the bottom of

those steps where he found the dame.

>> Well, now that we know about the

underground tunnel coming in from the

outside, it should be a cinch.

It

>> sure was a break finding that subway,

huh? Or we'd be down there yet.

Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you,

Miss Kenmore.

>> Who are you?

>> I'm Tom Star, friend of Barry's.

>> Oh, yes. You're the detective. Barry's

told me about you.

>> I see here, Miss Kenmore. Barry

telephoned me. He was going to meet you

this afternoon. He hasn't been seen

since.

>> Is that surprising?

>> Very, considering he told me intended to

ask you to marry him,

>> get out of this place.

>> I was ill this afternoon and couldn't

meet him.

>> Do you know where he is?

>> I think your question has been answered.

>> Good evening, Julie.

>> Sir Bertram, let me present Tom Star, a

friend of Mr. Wilding.

>> How do you do?

>> How do you do? I recognize Sir Bertram.

I imagine it would be embarrassing to a

man of your position if the public

should find out about your being here.

>> What do you mean, sir?

>> In plain words, I think you're mixed up

in whatever's going on around here,

including the disappearance of Barry

Wilding.

>> I think, sir, you've said entirely too

much.

>> You're right. From now on, I intend

doing something.

>> And I'll see to it that Scotland Yard

does the same. Good night, sir. Haven't

you better come in the house? Getting a

little chilly.

I'll trouble you to put your hands in

the air, Mr. St.

>> Well, what's the idea of this?

>> I warned you. Bring him along.

for a commissioner of Scotland Yard.

You're certainly making a fine mess of

things.

>> You're taking my advice. This wouldn't

have happened.

>> I was expecting you, Subtoum. I've sent

Gregory to bring him here.

>> Can we get any sense out of him, do you

think?

>> Well, you'll be it for yourself.

Don't you know me, old fellow?

Very strange. I was sure he'd be able to

talk.

>> Not much progress here.

>> Oh, but there has been a great deal.

Although he still has these lapses,

they're becoming more infrequent.

>> I think I better come back tomorrow

night.

>> No, please wait a few minutes. He may

snap out of it.

>> [laughter]

>> You must leave at once. I'll be back

tomorrow. All right. But I can't promise

you anything.

>> That'll be all.

>> Very good, sir.

>> Good morning, Sebum.

You're looking a little dragged out.

>> Yes. I shall be glad when it's over.

>> I realize this whole affair has been a

great strain on you

>> and still is.

>> It's a bad job that young fellow Wilding

and his detective friend got into this.

>> Yes, I live in constant dread of

discovery.

>> Well, I see by the times that Hector

Mson died last night.

>> That's one way to elude the gallows.

>> It's a very pathetic case.

>> Good morning.

>> I wouldn't know.

>> Good morning. You've met Sir Evans?

>> Yes, I have. Good morning, so I hear.

>> What is this all about, gentlemen?

Aren't you being a bit childish?

>> Mr. Star,

I am fully aware of your great ability

and high standing as a police officer in

America.

>> Thank you, Sir Bertram.

>> The commissioner and I have decided to

give you a complete explanation of what

must seem to be a very extraordinary and

unsavory affair. Well, that certainly

might help.

>> But first, I want your word of honor

that you will respect our confidence.

>> You have it. Please go on. Well, in the

first place, you'll remember.

Come in.

Hello, Barry.

Tom,

>> will you please postpone playing

hide-and-seek with that murder and give

me a hand?

>> My friend, bury your soul.

>> Well, to begin with, I've lost my half

of the cryptogram.

>> Where?

>> I don't know. It was in my wallet.

>> Goodbye, Treasure Island.

>> What's more, I can't stand any more of

this mystery. It's in my hair.

>> Barry, why don't you sell the Hawk's

Nest, forget all this business, and go

home.

>> Well, look who's talking after the way

you all hopped up about finding a

treasure.

>> Oh, well, that was Hoie.

>> You certainly changed your tune. Quick,

what's come over you?

>> A wave of common sense, maybe. You never

can tell.

>> And you won't help me.

>> No. I'm going to nab that killer and go

home.

>> Hey, who is this murderer anyhow?

>> His name is Dan Wharton. Sometimes

called three-fingered Dan.

>> Three? Hey, that's funny. One of those

baboons that's been shoving me around

has only three fingers.

>> Are you sure of that?

>> Well, yes. I saw him.

>> Dan Horton, cryptogram, Chicago book

collector. Great job. I got it.

>> So, your mind isn't giving way, is it?

>> No. No. Oh, it's been AWL. It's just

coming back.

>> You don't tell me.

>> I tell you, I've got it.

>> If it's cops and robbers, can't I play,

too?

>> No, no, you haven't got a gun.

>> Oh, yes, I have. I'll let me be in.

>> Be a good fell and scram.

>> Where are you going?

>> I'm going to kill two birds with one

stone.

>> You mean three fingers with one bullet?

>> Well, call me tomorrow.

>> Yes, that's not all. I'll call you.

>> So long.

>> You made very good time, Mr. Star.

Please sit down.

>> Thank you.

We can speak freely now. Sir Bertram has

told me everything.

>> Yes, he told me he had. Tell me, Mr.

Star, have you heard from Barry today?

>> Yes. I advise him to go back to the

States right away.

>> I I hope he doesn't take your advice.

>> Why not?

>> I have my reasons.

>> I think I can guess what they are.

>> I just received a note from him.

>> You did?

>> Yes. Here it is.

value life do not remain at Hawk's Nest

tonight. Barry Wilding.

>> Barry didn't write that, but I think I

know who did.

>> Who?

>> The man I'm looking for. I think he's

coming here tonight and wants you out of

the way.

>> Well, I intend to stay here regardless

of who sent it.

>> All right. Now, I'll tell you why I'm

here.

Will you put me up for the night?

>> Of course.

>> I don't want anyone to know. Not even

your own fellow.

>> I can arrange that.

>> Good.

>> I have my reasons. Shall we go?

>> Too bad to disappoint you again, but he

wasn't in.

>> Can't be helped.

>> Early morning is the best time to judge

his condition.

>> Well, I think I'll be getting back to

London.

>> Why don't you and Cross stay here

tonight? Plenty of accommodations,

aren't they, Julie?

>> Oh, yes, of course.

>> Suits me. What about you, Br?

>> Quite Gregory. Yes. These gentlemen will

stay here for the night.

>> Very well, sir.

>> Get a hearing. I'll be turning in right

away if you'll excuse me.

>> I show them [clears throat] to their

rooms.

>> Very good, sir.

>> Good night. Good night.

>> Night.

Come on.

Listen

you guys. Now we can round up the others

and take them down there one at a time.

>> I'm asking you for the last time.

Where's that stuff?

>> I've told you I don't know.

>> I suppose you don't know what this thing

is either.

>> I never saw it before. Don't give me

that. Then what are you guys here for?

>> I can't tell you.

>> Then I'll tell you. You're here for the

same thing as I am. That pirate swag.

>> Pirate swag? I'm positive father knows

nothing about it.

>> You're wasting your time, Dan. Let me

give him the words.

>> Not yet. Get away from me, fool. That's

poison gas.

>> Poison gas, eh? That's swell.

Maybe this will make you talk.

>> Turn that off. or we'll all be killed.

>> I tell you, there's no treasure around

here.

>> This thing says there is. You found it.

Now, come on, give or I'll throw that

valve open.

>> You'll murder us all.

>> I see you get the idea.

>> I'll take it slow. That'll give you

plenty of time to say your prayers.

Well, this cryptogram says the swag is

down here somewhere.

All right, you guys, start digging.

>> Where? Over there. We'll dig up this

whole place if we have to.

All right, you guys. Reach and quick.

Now, line up and face the wall. Come on,

get going.

Oh, so you're the guy that stole it.

>> I didn't lift it. I found it.

Why now? Where's the girl? In the next

room.

A very quick help us get out of here.

>> Stay where you are. Get away from that

door. That's That's poison gas in there.

>> Julie and the others are locked in there

and the door padlocked.

>> Yeah. Let me help you.

The gas nut on the tank will destroy the

poison instantly if we could only get in

there. I'll fix that.

The man who gave you such timely help is

Hector Mson, the inventor who killed his

assistant about a year ago.

>> I've written the paper where Hector Mson

died in prison last night.

>> I arranged those stories. You see,

Wilding, Hector Mson and I had been

great friends for many years.

When he committed the crime, I was quite

sure that his mind had broken down under

the strain of his work, that he killed

the man in an insane moment.

>> And I shared that belief.

>> I also knew he was about to complete a

formula which would instantly destroy

all poison gas.

>> Oh, I'm beginning to see.

>> I determined that the world must not be

deprived of a discovery which would save

thousands, even millions of lives.

>> So, I understand. With Class's help, I

had Mson secretly removed from prison

and placed under the care of Dr. Kenmore

here.

>> Dr. Kenmore?

>> Yes. The world's foremost specialist in

mental cases.

>> You see, Barry, the Hawks Nest seemed an

ideal place to work. It was vacant and

without an owner. At least so we

thought.

>> Under Dr. Kenmore skill. Mson has not

only gradually recovered his mind with

occasional lapses, but also completed

his discovery, which will be Hector

Mson's gift to England and to the world.

>> We all apologize, Barry, for being a

little uh severe at times. We merely

tried to frighten you away until Mson

could be moved to my sanitarium.

>> But aren't you on the spot, Sir Burton,

in explaining all this to the public?

>> I'm quite sure, Cen. I will have no

difficulty in justifying your action.

We only did what we were convinced was

our patriotic duty

>> and incidentally enabled me to do mine.

Nabbing three-fingered Dan and his

little playmates. Thanks to you, Barry,

Singh can celebrate the return of its

charming treasures.

>> Oh, speaking of treasure, that reminds

me. Barry, let's see that cryptogram.

>> There it is. Yes, we ought to be able to

solve that thing.

>> Well, listen. If need arise, turn ye

clenched hand at top of you fireplace.

>> Come on, let's have some fun. [laughter]

>> Oh, so that's what operates the panel.

>> So far so good, huh?

Might be something along with

>> G. Wouldn't it be funny if we did find a

treasure? Yeah, think of the income tax

I'd have to pay. [laughter]

>> Well, let's see. It says under fire.

>> Perhaps it means the fireplace. We're

right under it.

>> And under rock. That must mean under the

ground.

>> Yes, it says underwater, too. Where's

the water? It's damp down here.

And it looks as though a stream ran

through here once.

>> Why don't you try digging around here?

>> Yeah.

say that's pretty hard there.

Hey, wait a minute. Here's something.

>> Yes, there it is.

>> Well, look at look at that.

>> Give us a

bomb.

>> Richard,

>> look.

Somebody catch me. I'm fing

>> Oh, Barry. What are you going to do with

your treasure?

>> I'm going to marry her.
