West.

Good evening, Senator.

Must be something
pretty important

to bring you
down here.

It is, sir,
extremely important.

Ah, Senator Hastings.

Bon soir, mon ami.

Consul-General.

Excuse us, please.

I want you should meet
our distinguished guest.

He is one
of France's most...

Oh, Jim.

We're bringing it down
in about a half hour.

Until then, it's locked
up safe and sound.

Have you checked
the guests?

I can vouch for everyone,
Lieutenant.

I don't wish to be overly
officious, monsieur,

but we of the S�ret�
are not content

with the ordinary
safeguards.

Now, Lieutenant, I have the
highest regard for the S�ret�,

but considering the importance

of the material
locked in your safe

and the difficulty it would
cause both our governments

if it were stolen,

we want to give you
our fullest cooperation.

Excuse me.

I warn you, Dr. Ormont,

I don't much understand
these scientific things.

Franconium is the most
amazing substance

that has been discovered up to date.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Monsieur West.

I think that
you will be struck-

staggered by
the possibilities...

We shall be starting
in a moment.

Oh, fine.
Thank you.

May I?

I brought in the flowers and
the vase myself, Monsieur West.

Are you interested
in flowers?

Or are you looking
for a bomb?

Ah, just habit,
I'm afraid.

But when my assignment
is over,

would you celebrate
the occasion

by going to the theater
with me?

I would love to.

Oh, yes,
I've got it.

I met you at
the Geneva Conference

of weights and measures.

No, I'm afraid...

Ah, then it must have been
at Greenwich Seminar.

No, I'm sorry, I...

Uh-uh, I never
make a mistake.

Of course,
the Greenwich Seminar.

How are you?

You're late, madam.

Because of the war now going on
between France and Prussia,

the United States has been
good enough to allow us

to bring Dr. Ormont's
discovery- Franconium-

to this country
for safe keeping.

We are taking advantage
of this opportunity

to introduce it to you gentlemen of
the American scientific community.

It gives me great
pleasure to introduce

France's most
distinguished scientist,

Dr. Jean-Paul Ormont.

My friends
and colleagues...

Among certain sorts
of uranium, there is one...

Keep your eye
on things here.

I'll check it out.

Right.

Its departed presence,
if you will,

can impart to the key
a brilliant...

May I have a look?

Oh, Monsieur West,
you startled me.

You were so absorbed
in whatever it is

you're looking
at on the slide.

It is a failure,
I suspect.

Uh... Monsieur West, you
have not found the Franconium?

I have no more idea
where it is today

than I did yesterday.

Those look like
orchid spores.

Odontoglossum.

I'm attempting to stain
them with aniline,

but my technique...

I usually don't have trouble
understanding what a woman's saying.

But I am a botanist.

On behalf of
the French government,

I am collecting samples
of your flora.

When I have cultivated them
and toughened them,

and to some extent
acclimated them,

I shall ship some
home to France.

You're a surprising
woman.

Toujours femmes,
toujours surprises.

A woman is
not a woman without surprises.

I like surprises, but of course,
within limits.

But of course.

This place has a most
interesting history.

Originally,
it was a tannery.

I understand the vats are
still underneath there.

I may take a look.

Oh.

Surely you do not suspect

the Franconium is
still in the consulate.

That container's lead-lined,
heavy, very difficult to move.

I believe your uncle's
waiting for me now.

May I join you?

My pleasure.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Jim, could I see you
for a moment, please?

You'll excuse us,
of course.

Certainement.

Sorry to break into
your Cattleya occidens.

You know about orchids,
then, Monsieur Gordon.

Oh, just a snipping
acquaintance.

As a matter of fact,

I've always been
interested in nature

since I was
a little boy.

Artemus, you did want to see me,
didn't you?

Oh, yes.

My Great-Aunt Maude
always used to say,

"Every man should
have a hobby."

Or were you just,
uh, contemplating

that bit of orchid
as a potential corsage

for the young lady

you're taking to
the theater tonight?

You have been the busy Secret
Service man, haven't you?

Now what about that security
check I ordered?

Nobody leaves here without
being put under surveillance.

Keep it around the clock.

Does that include
the, uh, lady of the orchid

or will you be cultivating
that one personally?

Everybody knows that a young
orchid has to be kept

at a carefully controlled
temperature as long as...

You have a suspicious mind, Jim.

A very suspicious mind.

What you are looking at here
is a ghost.

As you know, last night
a lead-lined canister

containing 100 grams
of Franconium

was in this safe.

The power of this substance
is utterly fantastic,

beyond imagination.

You have already seen

how by placing an ordinary key
in the safe for a few minutes

the effluvium
of the Franconium-

its, uh, departed presence,
if you will-

can impart to the key
a brilliant radiance.

What's that instrument
you're holding, Doctor?

An energy register.

A simple detection device
I designed.

The rotors inside the
hermetically sealed vessel are

highly sensitive to Franconium

or any substance
exposed to it

without a protective
lead shield.

Now, you will notice,

when I get into the sphere
of the exposed key...

the vanes will rotate faster.

Inanimate objects glow
when exposed to Franconium.

Think what it can do
to a human body.

One drop of it unshielded could
kill a room full of people;

think what a weapon of
destruction that could be.

And every gram of Franconium
in the world was in that safe.

Loose, in the wrong hands,
a killer.

Oh, a catastrophe.

I cannot describe
how much.

Perhaps I can,

with Monsieur the Consul-
General's permission.

Uh, Monsieur West...

it may have come to your notice.

France is presently at war
with Prussia.

My country's very much aware
of it, Lieutenant Renard.

Ah, I am truly delighted

to hear that, monsieur.

You should also be aware
of the fact

that as the representative
of French S�ret�,

I felt from the beginning
it would be a tragic mistake

to ship our Franconium to your country.

I'm becoming aware of
your feeling, Lieutenant.

I foresaw
the possibility

that it might fall
into Prussian hands

as a result of a bungling,
monsieur.

Who's bungling?

Or does the S�ret� always
claim to be clairvoyant

after the crime's committed?

Please, these accusations,
they're uncalled for.

Monsieur West, you understand
that in Prussian hands

it would be used against France.

Surely that must be
of some vital concern to you.

My only concern is getting
the Franconium

back into the hands
of its rightful owners.

Forgive me, Uncle,
I know I should remain quiet,

but...
Monsieur le Consul-General,

surely we are being unfair
to Monsieur West.

Speaking of bungling,
Lieutenant,

where were you exactly

when the explosion
took place?

Oh, I see, monsieur.

Now it is I who is to blame, eh?

Well, you may be right,
mademoiselle.

Monsieur West's
country generously

decides to help us
safeguard our treasure-

even assigns one of its top
operatives to, uh, safeguard it-

in spite of which it has managed to vanish

without a single clue.

Excuse the interruption,
Lieutenant,

but this young lady's
part of the team

that made off
with the Franconium.

You must be mistaken.

She was masquerading
as an old lady

last night.

But she is Amelie Charlemont,

my secretary.

The man has delusions.

All right, we'll settle this
right now- lift up your foot.

I will not!

How dare you?

Look at her
ankle, gentlemen.

A perfect set
of my fingerprints.

A little souvenir
from last night.

Amelie!

C'est incroyable.

Alors, what about her
accomplice and the Franconium?

Maybe Amelie
can be persuaded

to fill us in on
those little details.

I'll take over
the questioning now, Monsieur.

I'll handle this,
if you don't mind.

Perhaps
Monsieur forgets,

Miss Charlemont
is a French national.

This consulate
is French territory,

and the crime itself was
committed against France.

Nevertheless, I'm going
to have to pull rank on you.

With your
permission, Sir.

Oui, monsieur.

Lieutenant,
a few questions,

what harm can there
be in that, eh?

Alone, Lieutenant,
if you don't mind.

Sit down.

Of course, you know

you're in a
lot of trouble.

Your heavy-footed friend

fixed you up
pretty good last night.

Snuffing out
a servant's life.

It makes you an
accomplice to murder,

doesn't it?

You're going
to have to pay

for what happened
last night,

but, of course,
if you cooperate,

the price will be
considerably more attractive.

You're a pretty,
young girl...

very attractive,

but what do you think
you'll look like

after 20 years
in the prison workshop?

You shouldn't
have done that.

You really shouldn't
have done that.

Mr. West,
I'm truly sorry.

You should be sorry.

You spoke
of my cooperating.

Would you really
help me if I do?

Of course, if you're
genuinely sincere.

Because I want
very, very much

to cooperate with you.

That's not exactly

the kind of cooperation
I had in mind.

Something wrong
with my kind?

No, no.

As a matter
of fact...

Did she get away?

Free and clear.

Monsieur,
I am appalled.

How could you let
such a thing happen?

And with your
own revolver?

She didn't have one of her own. Thank you.

Face powder?

For the sake
of an amorous little episode?

Monsieur, this is sordid.

I thought it was
rather pleasant myself.

If this is the way
American Secret Service

performs its function,
monsieur...

Uh, Lieutenant... uh-uh.

Bulletproof.

And Amelie is
being followed

by one of our men
this very moment.

You mean...

you planned this?

In hopes that
she would lead us

to her confederates.

When the time is right,
I'll follow her.

You might
have taken me

into your
confidence!

There wasn't time.

Where's Amelie?

Uh, she's escaped.

Escaped!

I'm afraid so.

It was my fault,
I was careless.

The girl had my fullest
trust and confidence.

I cannot help but feel

that there must
have been a mistake.

There is no mistake, I can
assure you, Monsieur Ormont.

But Amelie... she's been with me so long,

and I felt so sure about
her character and loyalty.

And don't forget, Uncle,

the Prussians have
a great deal of money

with which to tempt
a young girl.

Even so,
she will be caught again.

I almost hope
she isn't.

Sir, I don't have to remind you
of the importance to France

of the material
that has been stolen.

Or the embarrassment
to us.

No, no.

Of course,
you are right.

Until all this
is settled, Uncle,

n-none of us can
feel really safe,

or know whom to trust.

Well, Jim, I guess

we, uh... should
get started, huh?

You might be able
to use these.

Uh, thank you.

I would rather wait
until you are free.

Jim...

Tell me something.

You ever wonder what
might have happened

if Amelie had
pointed that gun

a little higher
when she shot at you?

I think the box office

would have refunded
the money.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Three...

Four...

Artemus!

Shh, I'm timing this-
five... six...

What are
you doing?

I got to concentrate here.

Seven... eight...

Nine...

Ten.

It works.

One day, one of your ideas
isn't going to work,

and you're going
to find yourself

stretched out for good.

I'm still a lot
safer than somebody

who lets dear Amelie
take pot shots at him,

even with
a bulletproof vest.

Want to know
what it is?

Well, if I
don't ask you,

you'll tell me
anyway.

It's a
chemical leech.

Chemical what?

Leech.

That's a ball of
a new chemical compound

with such highly
developed adhesive powers

that on contact, it'll support
a man's weight for ten seconds.

All you got to do is mash
it against something solid.

It's fantastic stuff.

Oh, I've arranged
to put the train in

for a general overhaul.

We'll have rooms
at the hotel

for a couple of days,
all right?

"Amelie...

"Charlemont...

"followed... to... Hannibal...

Amusement... Park."

"Meeting...
expected...

to... take...
place."

Artemus, I want you
to run a security check

on everyone connected
with the embassy.

Hannibal
Amusement Park...

I haven't had
cotton candy for years.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Step right up, folks.

Meet this beautiful, gorgeous,
exhilarating dancer

from the rivers
of the Nile.

She wiggles
and she shakes,

and she makes
your hair curl.

Step right up, folks,
it's only one dime,

ten cents, one tenth
of a dollar.

Everybody goes.

Step up to
the signpost.

The show's about
to commence.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Here it is.

The greatest girlie
show on the island.

Here she is, Lucy.

Right direct
from the land...

from the land of beautiful women
with exotic dances.

Folks, one dime.

One tenth
of a dollar.

One thin dime.

Two nickels.

Yes, sir.

Step right up, see this
gorgeous, exotic dancer

from the land
of the Nile.

She wiggles
and she shakes,

and she makes
your hair curl.

Step right up, folks.

It's only one dime,
ten cents.

One tenth of a dollar.

Everybody goes.

Step right
inside, folks.

The show is
about to commence.

Here she is,

right direct from...

I got your instructions
to meet you here.

I wish you
could have seen

the expression on Mr.
West's face when I shot him.

You stupid fool.

Stupid?

You did exactly what Monsieur
West wanted you to do.

But I shot him!

I killed him!

Of course
you did, cherie.

I don't understand.

He was wearing
a bulletproof vest.

Monsieur West wanted you
to shoot him,

to think you have killed him.

But why?

To follow you.

To make you talk,

to have you lead him to me.

I would never do that.

You know that.

Oh, oui.

I know that.

No.

You are too kind.

Very handsome.

You are most
understanding.

To appreciate the
difficulty of your position?

That should be
obvious.

You also are in a very difficult position.

Eh... awkward,
at least.

There's the American.

Will you join us?

This is an unexpected pleasure,
Monsieur West.

Your pursuit of Amelie
has brought you here?

Your uncle told me
where you'd be.

Oh... then, you
have found Amelie.

Yes.

And she
has talked?

No.

Uh, never fear.

In my experience, a night
in prison does wonders

to loosen
the tongue.

I wouldn't count on it
this time.

May I ask where you
got your boutonniere?

Mademoiselle was kind enough
to give it to me.

It is my
favorite flower

and, uh...

Identical.

Hmm.

Um, is your boutonniere also
from a lady, Monsieur West?

In a way.

I took it from Amelie's hand
about a half hour ago.

She was shot.

Uh...

this is a very rare orchid.

Avondus, I think.

Yes, Avondus.

Uh, grows only in Hawaii.

Do you consider it a clue?

Perhaps.

I've asked for a complete
dossier of information

on everyone connected
with the case.

Including us?

Including you.

Oh, ho, ho...

Such impudence.

Only an American...

No, no,
no, no, no.

Eh, this, uh-
what is the word-

"cynicism" is typical
of the S�ret�.

Of course, we waste
a great deal of time,

but we are thorough.

I will refer you
to several ladies,

who will give you the most
interesting gossip about me.

Some small fragments
of it are even true.

You and I will go away
together

somewhere quietly,
just the two of us,

and I will tell you all
there is to know about me-

absolutely everything.

You will find it much more
amusing than a dull dossier.

I'm sure, but there's no need
to go to all that trouble.

Such lack of faith should be
rewarded, Monsieur West.

Most assuredly.

As you say, mademoiselle,
we shouldn't trust anyone.

Um... one question,
Monsieur West.

Who is investigating you?

And don't be so sure
someone isn't.

Uh... we should drink
to something.

To suspicion.

Suspicion.

Artemus.

Artemus.

Artemus.

What are you
trying to do?

I can ask you.

Right in the middle
of testing

my new artificial lung.

Artificial lung?

Yes!

And it's brilliant,

if I do say so
myself, Jim.

You see, you put this
molded piece on over your...

over your nose...

Did you get
the information

on all the
consulate personnel?

Well, naturally.

It's inside.

I've designed this thing
so that it'll hold

five minutes' worth of oxygen
in the reservoir, Jim.

Think of that.

Five minutes
underwater, submerged,

and you'd still survive.

That is, if somebody
was trying to drown you.

What if it doesn't work?

Bring it back.

I'll make you a new one.

Just, uh... hang that on the
wall right over there, would you?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Oh, uh...

Jim, would you
mind, uh...

Thank you, Mr. West.

You seem worried.

I am.

Till that Franconium
is found,

it could be a worse killer
than the people that stole it.

Too bad we didn't get to Amelie
before that bullet.

Well, I didn't.

5-10� inches.

165 pounds.

A missing ring finger

on the second joint
of the left hand."

Renard?

What are you muttering about?

Renard.

He doesn't have
any fingers missing.

You sure about Renard?

I know Renard has
all his fingers.

I just saw him
in a restaurant with Cluny,

and they were very close
and friendly.

How friendly?

I don't know.

Cluny pinned an orchid
in his lapel.

When I found Amelie, she had
an orchid clutched in her hand.

What do we do now?

I think we better call
the housekeeper.

This place is a mess.

CLUNY
And now you know.

Now I know that Lieutenant
Renard had an artificial finger.

You don't know, but your
accent isn't showing.

I have no further
need for it.

Anything else?

The rest are just guesses.

Interested in hearing them?

Well, yes, please.

Somewhere in this crate
is a lead-lined container

with a hundred grams

of someone else's
Franconium.

Very clever.

Well, why Renard?

Why?

Why, because he'd made the
mistake of finding out things.

Because he knew
that you were the one

that planned the theft
of the Franconium.

And now you know it, too.

From the very beginning,
he suspected me.

Did you
know that?

No, frankly, I didn't give him
enough credit.

Poor, gallant Renard.

You should also know this.

In an effort to get proof,

he even pretended
he was in love with me.

But you didn't believe him,
not for a minute.

No, I don't make mistakes.

How about forgetting
to take the orchid

from Amelie's hand
after you shot her?

You call that a mistake?

It brought you here, didn't it?

And what a shame
your time has run out, Jim.

Has it?

It's too bad.

Mice?

You no longer amuse me.

Last time I heard
those delicate footsteps

was in the French Consulate.

Very heavy gauge steel.

No doors, no escape.

Nothing but the best
for your houseguests.

Wait, there's more.

Do you know how orchids are
protected against insect pests?

How?

By fumigation-

the fumes
of prussic acid,

a very, very
deadly gas.

Yes, those are prussic
acid fumes you hear.

Your torch won't last very long

when the fumes drive the oxygen
out, but neither will you.

Just breathe
deeply,

and it'll
soon be over.

Au revoir, Jim.

Hurry with the boards.

We have to get that Franconium out of here.

Did you make all the
arrangements for sailing?

And for the Franconium to
be picked up when we arrived?

Be careful!

If there's the
slightest crack

in that
lead canister...

Who is it?

Express man, lady.

Go away.

Oh, I'm sorry, lady,
I can't do that.

You got to sign first.

Come on, lady.

I haven't got all day.

What's this all about?

I don't know.

I had to pick up
a trunk here.

There is no trunk here.

Oh... certainly
there is.

There is no trunk

and we don't need
an Express man.

Well, there has to be.

Otherwise, why would
you send for me?

We didn't send for you.

Oh, you didn't
send for me?

That's this place,
ain't it?

Yes, but...

And that says one trunk,
don't it?

Certainly, but...

All right.

Where is it?

Look, there is no trunk

and we do not need
an Express man.

Lady...

I am a very patient man-

patient as
the day is long.

Now, there comes a time
when it's time

for even the most patient
of men to get wore out.

I am about wore out, lady.

Where's the trunk?

For the last time,
there is no trunk.

We don't need
an Express man.

All right.

I'll find it
for myself.

Mister...

If you'll just go away,
I'll pay you for your time.

Hey... hey!

I knew it!

And you said that you
didn't have a trunk.

Mister...

Ah, tut, tut, tut.

There's no need
to apologize.

It happens to me
all the time.

It's a crate.

It's not a trunk.

A crate, a trunk,
it's no matter.

The important thing
is we found it.

It's not to be shipped!

Oh, lady, your memory's
more stubborn

than any other case
I ever saw in me life.

But I'll have it
out of here

before you can say...

Bring him over here.

Fancy meeting you here.

You're amazing.

No one else could have
gotten out alive like you did.

It was nothing.

The crate-

getting ready
to ship it out?

I'll bet I can guess the
route it's going to take.

An oceangoing vessel,
going where, Cluny?

Try Prussia.

I was born in Saarbruchen.

I owe allegiance
only to Prussia.

France was lucky enough to be
the first to isolate Franconium,

but Prussia will be the one
to exploit it for national good.

That explains a lot.

But what about your uncle?

Sentimental idiot.

He was for France, huh?

Where does, uh,
old Ironfoot fit in?

Let's just say he has
a talent for kicking.

Zeigen sie ihm
ihren Fuesse.

Artificial legs.

A train accident.

And now I think there's
nothing left to talk about.

Everything's all
neat and tidied up,

is it not, Jim?

I can't think of anything else.

Use your gun.

You're not afraid of me.

You don't need
a gun, do you?

Don't listen to him.

You're not going
to listen to her.

You're a man,
aren't you?

Come on.

Shoot him!

Shoot him!

You're a dreamer, Cluny.

He isn't going to let anything
interfere with his pleasures.

Give me that gun.

I'll shoot him.

Take a look below you
when you get the chance.

Remember, I told you this
used to be a tanning factory.

It was a simple matter to
reactivate the tanning tank.

Corrosive lye-

and all of it for you
when he gets through with you.

You should have taken the bullet
when you had the chance.

My hair is perhaps
a bit out of place?

I have a smudge
on my nose?

No. No, for a moment,

there was an uncanny
resemblance.

Please forgive me.

I am Cecile, the Consul-
General's secretary.

Oh, my name is...

James West.

I know.

May I?

I brought in the flowers and
the vase myself, Monsieur West.

Are you interested
in flowers, or a bomb?

I've lost my taste
for flowers.

I never did care much
for bombs.

Believe me, sir.

I have never
even been to...

Nonsense.

You did a fascinating paper
on the libration of the moon.

How can you be
so absent-minded?

All right.

The libration of the moon.

Monsieur.

I'm overcome with happiness
to be able to announce

that France's great
national treasure

has been recovered intact
for her and for the world.

Distinguished guests,
dear friends...

in this felicitous moment,

I must make a special
declaration of gratitude.

After the theater, supper at
Le Grange, and after that...

But there is
my assistant.

I cannot leave her.

By a very fortunate
coincidence,

I just happen to have

another pair of theater
tickets with me.

Hello.

The Yankee- formidable.
