Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:35,878
- Well, we're out of gas.
- Well, that's all right.
2
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:37,929
We still have our gas-rationing card.
3
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:42,891
Gas-rationing card. Why, a C card
wouldn't help us here. Oh, you...
4
00:01:43,104 --> 00:01:45,476
You don't have to lose your temper.
I'm sorry, l...
5
00:01:45,648 --> 00:01:49,064
You're sorry. You were sorry
about that redhead in the auto court.
6
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:52,278
You were sorry about that waitress
in the barbecue stand.
7
00:01:52,447 --> 00:01:53,906
I suppose you're sorry...
8
00:01:54,073 --> 00:01:57,525
...about talking me into taking
this road instead of the main road.
9
00:01:57,744 --> 00:01:59,238
Well, I'm sorry that I'm sorry.
10
00:01:59,412 --> 00:02:01,784
But if you're sorry,
you can't help being sorry...
11
00:02:01,956 --> 00:02:06,583
- Oh, get out of here.
- Maybe someday you'll be sorry.
12
00:02:09,422 --> 00:02:12,458
A thousand miles from nowhere.
13
00:02:12,675 --> 00:02:15,593
Well, here's another nice mess
you've gotten me into.
14
00:02:15,803 --> 00:02:17,880
And don't say you're sorry.
15
00:02:19,182 --> 00:02:20,842
Oh.
16
00:02:36,241 --> 00:02:38,280
Worried, aren't you?
17
00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:40,035
Are you?
18
00:02:42,038 --> 00:02:44,529
Well, it must be 115 in the shade.
19
00:02:44,749 --> 00:02:46,124
How about a drink of water?
20
00:02:46,292 --> 00:02:49,412
That's a good idea.
I'll go right now and get it.
21
00:02:54,968 --> 00:02:55,999
Oh!
22
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:29,206
- Hey, Ollie.
- What?
23
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:32,455
I can see the back end of a truck.
24
00:03:33,214 --> 00:03:36,085
That's no truck. That's me.
25
00:03:37,302 --> 00:03:40,920
- The back end of a truck.
- I'm sorry, l...
26
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:48,428
- Ollie.
- What?
27
00:03:48,646 --> 00:03:51,184
- I see a gas station.
- Where?
28
00:03:51,399 --> 00:03:55,064
Right in here, see?
Look, it's right in there, see it?
29
00:03:56,446 --> 00:03:58,522
Give me that.
30
00:04:01,117 --> 00:04:02,398
Stanley, we're saved.
31
00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:04,783
But how are we gonna get
this thing over there?
32
00:04:04,954 --> 00:04:07,789
That's simple. One of us will push
and the other will steer.
33
00:04:07,957 --> 00:04:10,080
I never thought of that. Well...
34
00:04:17,008 --> 00:04:19,416
- Hey.
- What?
35
00:04:19,844 --> 00:04:21,920
- Not too fast.
- I won't.
36
00:04:22,138 --> 00:04:25,590
When you start pushing,
don't push over 35 miles an hour.
37
00:04:27,852 --> 00:04:30,557
All right, let's go.
38
00:04:42,951 --> 00:04:44,279
Hey, Ollie.
39
00:04:45,495 --> 00:04:48,946
- What?
- Do you mind if I stop a minute?
40
00:04:49,374 --> 00:04:51,117
All right.
41
00:04:56,256 --> 00:05:00,882
- Okay, Ollie, I'm ready.
- Well, it's about time.
42
00:05:19,028 --> 00:05:20,309
What would you have done...
43
00:05:20,488 --> 00:05:23,157
...if I hadn't had presence of mind
to have you push me?
44
00:05:23,324 --> 00:05:25,116
I haven't the slightest idea.
45
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,945
I guess the only thing I could have done
if I'd gone to the gas station...
46
00:05:29,163 --> 00:05:30,539
Who's pushing this thing?
47
00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:33,584
I forgot to tell you.
See, I borrowed a mule down the road.
48
00:05:33,793 --> 00:05:34,991
Remember when we stopped?
49
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:37,957
Well, I guess a mule's
as good as a donkey any day.
50
00:05:38,173 --> 00:05:41,339
It certainly is. You're absolutely...
51
00:05:41,551 --> 00:05:43,840
What do you mean, as good as a...?
52
00:05:52,812 --> 00:05:55,386
Get out and find the attendant.
53
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:11,820
- I'm sorry, Ollie.
- Sorry for what?
54
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,748
Closed for the duration.
55
00:06:13,958 --> 00:06:16,628
Now what are we going to do?
56
00:06:17,921 --> 00:06:20,127
Hey, there's a car coming.
Let's flag him down.
57
00:06:20,298 --> 00:06:22,172
Yeah, maybe
we can borrow some gas.
58
00:06:40,818 --> 00:06:42,776
Look, here's a...
Here's a truck coming.
59
00:06:42,946 --> 00:06:45,437
It's no use,
they won't stop for us in this desert.
60
00:06:46,157 --> 00:06:49,028
Say, why don't you lie down
and pretend you've fainted?
61
00:06:49,244 --> 00:06:52,577
Then he's bound to stop. He wouldn't
let anybody faint on the desert.
62
00:06:52,747 --> 00:06:56,745
- At last you're using your brain.
- Hurry up and faint, he's getting closer.
63
00:06:56,918 --> 00:06:58,745
- All right.
- Here.
64
00:07:33,496 --> 00:07:35,038
Oh!
65
00:07:47,719 --> 00:07:50,210
Mister, could you spare us
a gallon of gas?
66
00:07:50,430 --> 00:07:53,466
A gallon? What are you trying to do,
wean this thing?
67
00:07:53,683 --> 00:07:56,850
You see, we made a slight miscalculation
in regards to our supply.
68
00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:59,392
- Yeah, he means we ran out of gas.
- Yes.
69
00:07:59,564 --> 00:08:02,648
Well, gentlemen,
the right man just came along.
70
00:08:03,443 --> 00:08:06,194
Chester Wright,
inventor of the Little Wonder Gas Pill.
71
00:08:06,362 --> 00:08:08,070
The answer to the rationing problem.
72
00:08:08,239 --> 00:08:11,359
This is the 10-gallon size.
This is the five-gallon size.
73
00:08:12,911 --> 00:08:16,611
And this, gentlemen, is a gallon
can of water. Sample it, if you please.
74
00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:18,789
I'm sorry.
75
00:08:25,173 --> 00:08:26,750
It's water, all right.
76
00:08:26,966 --> 00:08:30,335
You're gonna see a demonstration
of the eighth wonder of the world.
77
00:08:32,055 --> 00:08:35,554
I'm gonna take some pellets, place
them in the can of water you sampled.
78
00:08:35,725 --> 00:08:38,014
- Um, open your gas tank.
- Oh, yes, sure.
79
00:08:48,863 --> 00:08:51,022
Oh, I'm sorry.
80
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,952
Gasoline.
81
00:08:56,162 --> 00:08:58,618
Just pour it into your tank, gentlemen.
82
00:09:00,375 --> 00:09:03,210
Now, step on the starter.
83
00:09:16,057 --> 00:09:18,595
Mister, you have saved us
from an untimely end.
84
00:09:18,810 --> 00:09:20,269
Yes, sir, we might have died.
85
00:09:20,436 --> 00:09:22,725
- How much do we owe you?
- Oh, forget it, my friends.
86
00:09:22,897 --> 00:09:25,982
- Just regard it as a courtesy of the road.
- Thank you very much.
87
00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:30,566
"Laurel and Hardy,
the original zoot suit band."
88
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:32,939
We're one of the wonders
of the age ourselves.
89
00:09:33,116 --> 00:09:35,488
The only two-man band in the world.
90
00:09:35,702 --> 00:09:40,031
Equal to Glenn Miller,
Harry James and Spike Jones.
91
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:43,074
Well, we might get together.
92
00:09:43,293 --> 00:09:46,626
I was on my way to Washington
to hand these over to the government...
93
00:09:46,796 --> 00:09:49,252
...but we might pick up
a few bucks on the way.
94
00:09:49,424 --> 00:09:51,048
- You mean, make some money?
- Sure.
95
00:09:51,217 --> 00:09:53,589
- We could make a lot of dough together.
- How?
96
00:09:53,803 --> 00:09:57,302
There's a carnival opening up tomorrow
in Midvale, a few miles from here.
97
00:09:57,515 --> 00:10:01,098
We can get a location and with your
band to attract the crowd we can trim...
98
00:10:01,311 --> 00:10:03,434
I mean, we can sell every sucker...
99
00:10:03,938 --> 00:10:05,480
I mean, every person in town.
100
00:10:05,690 --> 00:10:07,517
What do you say, fellows,
fifty-fifty?
101
00:10:08,359 --> 00:10:09,937
Well, we could use some money.
102
00:10:10,153 --> 00:10:11,813
Okay, fellows, see you in Midvale.
103
00:10:11,988 --> 00:10:14,693
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
104
00:10:17,577 --> 00:10:19,155
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
105
00:10:19,370 --> 00:10:21,114
- Bye.
- Bye.
106
00:10:21,331 --> 00:10:23,822
- All of our troubles are over, Stanley.
- Yes, sir.
107
00:10:24,042 --> 00:10:26,663
And we won't need this ration book
anymore, will we?
108
00:10:26,878 --> 00:10:31,041
- Not as long as there's water.
- That's just what I thought.
109
00:10:31,257 --> 00:10:34,009
Well, the quicker we get to town...
110
00:10:57,283 --> 00:11:00,533
Over here, over here, over here, folks,
we have a free attraction.
111
00:11:00,745 --> 00:11:04,992
Step right in closely, please. We have
here La Belle Fatima and her dancing...
112
00:11:05,208 --> 00:11:09,336
The only explanation we have
of this remarkable phenomenon...
113
00:11:09,546 --> 00:11:11,834
...the bearded lady, folks. This...
114
00:11:53,506 --> 00:11:57,551
Come on, hepcats,
we're gonna spread a load of jam.
115
00:13:01,366 --> 00:13:02,397
Not bad, are they?
116
00:13:02,575 --> 00:13:05,612
No. That trumpet reminds me
of some Harry James records...
117
00:13:05,787 --> 00:13:07,364
...our store got in this morning.
118
00:13:07,539 --> 00:13:10,705
- You're in the music business?
- Sort of. I sing in the choir too.
119
00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:17,704
- What's holding us back, sister?
- All reet, Jackson.
120
00:13:17,882 --> 00:13:19,756
Well, all reet.
121
00:14:16,482 --> 00:14:18,440
Well, folks,
that was out of this world.
122
00:14:18,651 --> 00:14:22,270
And now we have a message for you.
123
00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:27,191
We bring to you,
good people of Midvale...
124
00:14:27,410 --> 00:14:30,079
...the greatest invention
of the 20th century.
125
00:14:30,747 --> 00:14:33,202
What is the most important
question today?
126
00:14:34,709 --> 00:14:36,251
Transportation.
127
00:14:36,503 --> 00:14:39,753
Which brings us
to the question of gas rationing.
128
00:14:39,964 --> 00:14:42,835
Out of the laboratories
has come a miracle...
129
00:14:43,051 --> 00:14:45,339
...the Little Wonder Gas Pill.
130
00:14:46,054 --> 00:14:50,004
You simply drop one of these pills
into a gallon of water...
131
00:14:50,225 --> 00:14:53,594
...and you have a gallon of gas,
not ordinary gas...
132
00:14:53,811 --> 00:14:57,097
...but gas of the highest quality.
133
00:14:59,859 --> 00:15:04,320
Now, this is the five-gallon size
and this is the 10-gallon size.
134
00:15:04,531 --> 00:15:07,734
I could sell it to you
for a dollar a gallon, but no.
135
00:15:08,284 --> 00:15:10,692
The 10-gallon size sells for $2.
136
00:15:10,912 --> 00:15:14,495
The five-gallon size sells for $ 1.
Who wants one?
137
00:15:14,707 --> 00:15:17,625
I'll take the large size.
I'll take 10 gallons.
138
00:15:17,794 --> 00:15:19,418
Yes, sir.
- Give me 10.
139
00:15:19,587 --> 00:15:22,209
No, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
140
00:15:22,423 --> 00:15:24,499
How do we know
that stuff's on the level?
141
00:15:26,970 --> 00:15:29,543
I perceive that you have a water bag
on your shoulder.
142
00:15:30,390 --> 00:15:32,928
-Is there water in it?
- Yes, full of it.
143
00:15:33,893 --> 00:15:35,969
Put this in it. I dare you.
144
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,405
It smells like gasoline.
145
00:15:56,749 --> 00:15:57,781
What more do you want, folks?
146
00:15:57,959 --> 00:16:00,415
The five-gallon or the 10-gallon size?
Who wants one?
147
00:16:00,587 --> 00:16:02,959
- That's enough for me, give me 10.
- There you are.
148
00:16:03,131 --> 00:16:05,207
- Give me 10 gallons.
- Give me five gallons.
149
00:16:05,383 --> 00:16:07,292
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
150
00:16:09,137 --> 00:16:10,964
All right, folks, don't fight.
151
00:16:11,139 --> 00:16:13,215
Here's another fin, buddy.
152
00:16:14,267 --> 00:16:15,595
Here's your pill.
153
00:16:20,857 --> 00:16:24,605
- Never mind that.
All right, I'll take five gallons more.
154
00:16:25,111 --> 00:16:29,025
- Right over here, sir.
- Hold it, hold it, folks. Hold everything.
155
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,656
Don't hand over any more of your
hard-earned money to these crooks.
156
00:16:32,869 --> 00:16:34,861
- This is a fake.
Are you insinuating...
157
00:16:35,038 --> 00:16:36,615
...we are hoodwinking the public?
158
00:16:37,207 --> 00:16:41,038
I dropped one of these Little Wonder
Gas Pills into a bucket of water...
159
00:16:41,252 --> 00:16:46,080
...poured it into the tank of the car
and now... And now look at me!
160
00:16:47,842 --> 00:16:50,512
Hey, give us back our money!
161
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,843
Inspector McNeil
of the State Bunco Squad.
162
00:16:53,014 --> 00:16:55,635
I've been trailing these two
for five days.
163
00:16:55,808 --> 00:16:58,893
Jail's too good for these robbers.
We ought to take care of them.
164
00:16:59,062 --> 00:17:00,805
- You're right.
- They can't take me.
165
00:17:01,022 --> 00:17:02,849
- We want our dough.
- Come on.
166
00:17:03,483 --> 00:17:07,481
Folks, don't let your tempers boil over.
These men will be dealt with by the law.
167
00:17:13,868 --> 00:17:16,739
My purse.
My purse.
168
00:17:20,542 --> 00:17:24,373
Well, what I can't understand is why did
you pretend to be a county detective...
169
00:17:24,546 --> 00:17:27,333
...unless the gas pills
didn't have the desired effect?
170
00:17:27,507 --> 00:17:30,424
What do you suppose
is running this car at the present time?
171
00:17:30,593 --> 00:17:34,461
- He's right, Ollie, we're going okay.
- Well, what happened to the man's car?
172
00:17:34,681 --> 00:17:38,809
He got mixed up in the directions or
there was something wrong with his car.
173
00:17:38,977 --> 00:17:41,812
- How much we take in?
- Two hundred and twenty-three dollars.
174
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:44,981
- I'll take my half now.
- All right.
175
00:17:49,529 --> 00:17:51,320
There you are.
176
00:17:55,577 --> 00:17:56,987
Hey, wait a minute, fellows.
177
00:17:57,203 --> 00:17:59,196
What?
Didn't I split the money fifty-fifty?
178
00:17:59,372 --> 00:18:01,080
That's not it. We gotta go back.
179
00:18:06,963 --> 00:18:10,213
- Go back! Why?
- This purse belongs to a girl in Midvale.
180
00:18:10,425 --> 00:18:12,832
- I was holding it for her.
- lf anyone sees us...
181
00:18:13,011 --> 00:18:14,884
...they'll throw us all into the jug...
182
00:18:15,054 --> 00:18:17,972
...and they'll find out
that you're really not an officer.
183
00:18:19,475 --> 00:18:22,761
- How am I gonna get this back to her?
- I'll take it.
184
00:18:22,979 --> 00:18:24,094
How did you get here?
185
00:18:24,272 --> 00:18:27,392
I got into the back of the trailer
when you were leaving.
186
00:18:27,567 --> 00:18:30,319
The question now is,
how do I get back to Midvale?
187
00:18:30,528 --> 00:18:33,315
Oh, I got an idea.
188
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,326
You two drive to the place
where I parked my station wagon.
189
00:18:37,493 --> 00:18:38,988
We'll ride back in the trailer.
190
00:18:39,204 --> 00:18:42,952
Come on, baby. I'll explain everything
to you in words of one syllable.
191
00:18:46,628 --> 00:18:49,297
No wonder
he wanted to go back to Midvale.
192
00:18:49,506 --> 00:18:52,460
- Why?
- Well, because the girl lives there and...
193
00:18:52,675 --> 00:18:54,633
Never mind why!
194
00:18:59,724 --> 00:19:01,515
Look, you're doing 70 miles an hour.
195
00:19:01,726 --> 00:19:06,269
I'm not doing 70 miles an hour.
I'm not even doing 50 miles an hour.
196
00:19:06,481 --> 00:19:09,435
In fact, I'm not even doing
35 miles an hour.
197
00:19:09,651 --> 00:19:13,102
- Well, it says there 70.
- That speedometer's stuck.
198
00:19:13,321 --> 00:19:15,859
- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
- Oh!
199
00:19:19,702 --> 00:19:21,944
Why don't you look
where you're going.
200
00:19:23,414 --> 00:19:25,703
- I'll get it.
- Thank you.
201
00:19:32,131 --> 00:19:34,254
Hey, what's this?
It's a picture taken...
202
00:19:34,425 --> 00:19:37,379
...when Mother put through
a real-estate deal on our property.
203
00:19:37,554 --> 00:19:40,092
- Your folks got money?
- I've a rich aunt in Boston.
204
00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:41,925
She bought the property for Mother.
205
00:19:42,809 --> 00:19:44,184
Uh, what kind of a deal was this?
206
00:19:44,394 --> 00:19:46,719
Mother puts in her property
in $ 10,000...
207
00:19:46,938 --> 00:19:49,643
...and the eastern financiers
put in 15,000.
208
00:19:49,816 --> 00:19:51,393
I've seen one of those faces.
209
00:19:53,444 --> 00:19:54,476
Around a racetrack.
210
00:19:54,988 --> 00:19:58,321
Uh, Louisville, a horseplayer
named "One Horse" Bates.
211
00:19:58,533 --> 00:20:00,241
You might let me in on this.
212
00:20:00,451 --> 00:20:02,942
Honey, I'm afraid
your poor old gray-haired mother...
213
00:20:03,121 --> 00:20:04,615
...has been sadly gypped.
214
00:20:13,298 --> 00:20:17,212
There's my car, baby, hop in.
I gotta go up and see the Rover boys.
215
00:20:18,887 --> 00:20:21,128
Boys, I gotta drive this girl
back to Midvale.
216
00:20:21,306 --> 00:20:24,260
- Back to Midvale?
- Isn't there any other way?
217
00:20:24,434 --> 00:20:28,348
There's more. From what she tells me,
her mother was gypped out of $ 10,000.
218
00:20:28,521 --> 00:20:30,977
- That's a lot of dough.
- Yeah, a lot of money too.
219
00:20:31,149 --> 00:20:34,019
It's worth going after.
Now, I have a hunch who the gang is.
220
00:20:34,194 --> 00:20:36,731
- I'm gonna try and get it back.
- You're a swell guy...
221
00:20:36,905 --> 00:20:40,356
...to try and get that money back.
- Yes, anything we can do to help...
222
00:20:40,533 --> 00:20:41,944
I knew I could count on you.
223
00:20:42,118 --> 00:20:44,490
Stay on this route
and I'll catch you before long.
224
00:20:44,662 --> 00:20:46,073
- Righto.
- Okey-dokey.
225
00:20:53,046 --> 00:20:56,331
Stanley, do you believe
in love at first sight?
226
00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:59,883
Well, it saves a lot of time.
227
00:21:08,186 --> 00:21:10,428
Mr. Cass,
this gentleman seems to think...
228
00:21:10,605 --> 00:21:13,440
...that Mother has been swindled
in the land deal.
229
00:21:13,650 --> 00:21:15,726
This is Mr...
230
00:21:16,277 --> 00:21:19,112
- I don't even know your name.
- We never got around to that.
231
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,985
- Wright. Chester Wright.
- I'm very glad to meet you, sir.
232
00:21:22,158 --> 00:21:25,776
Though I'm quite certain that you're
mistaken. The money is in my safe.
233
00:21:25,995 --> 00:21:29,827
Yeah? Ten will get you 20 that it isn't.
And a Wright is never wrong.
234
00:21:30,083 --> 00:21:31,660
Ha.
235
00:21:35,046 --> 00:21:37,584
Mr. Wright, I hope you're wrong.
236
00:21:37,841 --> 00:21:43,001
Aha! There, you see, and the signatures.
Just as I put it into my safe, Mr. Wright.
237
00:21:43,221 --> 00:21:46,257
Oh, sure, sure.
Now, who's gonna open it?
238
00:21:46,432 --> 00:21:48,390
Why, I think Miss Cowan
should open it...
239
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,644
...since she will someday
be the owner of the property.
240
00:22:05,285 --> 00:22:06,909
Why, I don't understand it.
241
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,326
I put that money in the envelope
and sealed it.
242
00:22:09,497 --> 00:22:12,249
It was never out of my sight
until I put it into the safe.
243
00:22:12,417 --> 00:22:14,409
He's even used a copy
of the Daily Planet.
244
00:22:14,627 --> 00:22:16,869
He never dropped it on the floor?
245
00:22:17,046 --> 00:22:19,454
Yes, now that I think of it,
but he initialed it...
246
00:22:19,632 --> 00:22:22,633
...before he dropped it.
And the initials were still there.
247
00:22:22,802 --> 00:22:25,174
Why, of course.
That's known as the old convincer.
248
00:22:25,346 --> 00:22:27,837
The phony envelope was initialed
before he came in.
249
00:22:28,016 --> 00:22:30,471
I'm going down
to tell the chief of police.
250
00:22:32,979 --> 00:22:34,853
I'd like to break their necks.
251
00:22:35,023 --> 00:22:37,015
I only hope
the police catch up with them.
252
00:22:37,192 --> 00:22:40,027
What good would that do?
Even if the police arrested them...
253
00:22:40,195 --> 00:22:42,899
...they'd only spend the money
on lawyers to defend them.
254
00:22:43,072 --> 00:22:47,402
Then if you win, you lose.
255
00:22:47,702 --> 00:22:51,782
Maybe, but I've been thinking.
I'm going after that money.
256
00:22:51,998 --> 00:22:53,872
What do you mean?
257
00:22:54,167 --> 00:22:55,875
Well...
258
00:22:56,753 --> 00:23:01,379
...money lost through larceny
can often be recovered the same way.
259
00:23:01,591 --> 00:23:04,794
Remember I told you I recognized
one of those faces, a horseplayer?
260
00:23:05,345 --> 00:23:07,503
Well, what track opens next week?
New Orleans.
261
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,634
- And that's where I'm heading.
- Fine, I'll go along with you.
262
00:23:10,808 --> 00:23:12,184
Oh...
263
00:23:13,478 --> 00:23:16,728
You know, if we hadn't
have run out of gas on the desert...
264
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:19,857
...Chester would have
never gone to Midvale...
265
00:23:20,026 --> 00:23:22,268
...and he would never have met her.
266
00:23:22,487 --> 00:23:25,156
And now he's going to recover
her money.
267
00:23:25,365 --> 00:23:29,777
To her, he's a real hepcat.
Right in the groove.
268
00:23:30,203 --> 00:23:32,575
And they'll fall in love...
269
00:23:33,206 --> 00:23:34,783
...get married.
270
00:23:34,999 --> 00:23:38,036
And live in a cottage
bowered with roses.
271
00:23:38,253 --> 00:23:42,202
A country estate.
You know, we could work for them...
272
00:23:42,423 --> 00:23:45,294
...and we could live in peace
and contentment.
273
00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:48,083
You paint a pretty picture, Stanley.
274
00:23:48,304 --> 00:23:52,053
They could name
their first baby Stanley.
275
00:23:53,852 --> 00:23:55,725
What's the matter with Oliver?
276
00:23:55,937 --> 00:23:57,811
Stanley's a nice name.
277
00:23:58,439 --> 00:23:59,768
Oliver.
278
00:24:00,942 --> 00:24:03,267
Well, they could have twins.
279
00:24:03,486 --> 00:24:05,395
We'll suggest that to them.
280
00:24:13,204 --> 00:24:15,956
- What's my point, baby?
- Six.
281
00:24:16,207 --> 00:24:19,410
You know you always
shoot sixes, Corky.
282
00:24:29,470 --> 00:24:33,967
My name is Colonel Watterson Bixby
of Leaping Frog, Amarillo County, Texas.
283
00:24:34,184 --> 00:24:37,718
How do you do, colonel? We've assigned
the governor's suite to your party.
284
00:24:37,937 --> 00:24:41,223
- I hope you'll like it.
- You all are most kind, sir.
285
00:24:41,441 --> 00:24:42,816
Okay, there's your 2 bits.
286
00:24:42,984 --> 00:24:46,104
If I keep on playing this game,
you'll be wearing mink.
287
00:24:46,654 --> 00:24:49,324
This is my secretary,
Mr. Chester Wright...
288
00:24:49,532 --> 00:24:54,657
...and this is my butler, valet
and general factotum, Potts.
289
00:24:58,208 --> 00:25:01,826
Carry those bags upstairs,
and don't take no for an answer.
290
00:25:02,003 --> 00:25:03,497
Yes, sir.
291
00:25:10,553 --> 00:25:14,337
I have some valuables
I'd like to entrust to your care, sir.
292
00:25:14,557 --> 00:25:18,092
This one contains $20,000
in currency.
293
00:25:18,478 --> 00:25:21,645
And this, some very valuable
contracts and documents.
294
00:25:21,856 --> 00:25:26,103
They'll be perfectly safe, I assure you.
Just a moment, I'll give you a receipt.
295
00:25:31,115 --> 00:25:34,235
My, what a pretty little girl.
296
00:25:38,748 --> 00:25:42,082
How do you do, miss? Let me see.
297
00:25:42,252 --> 00:25:45,952
I don't remember your name,
but I know we've met.
298
00:25:48,383 --> 00:25:50,210
Ah, there goes the colonel again.
299
00:25:50,426 --> 00:25:54,970
And he's got the most jealous wife
in the whole state of Texas.
300
00:25:55,139 --> 00:25:57,346
That's Corcoran,
one of the men at the desk.
301
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,969
Yeah, I recognized him
from his picture.
302
00:26:01,229 --> 00:26:04,680
Okay, you two, break it up.
Susan, we'll see you later upstairs.
303
00:26:04,899 --> 00:26:07,437
Goodbye, miss.
304
00:26:16,202 --> 00:26:18,325
You all here for the races, gentlemen?
305
00:26:18,538 --> 00:26:22,488
I'm sorry, sir,
but business prevents that pleasure.
306
00:26:25,044 --> 00:26:27,002
After you, sir.
307
00:26:34,721 --> 00:26:36,381
Corcoran, you might
at least have knocked.
308
00:26:36,556 --> 00:26:37,836
Shh.
309
00:26:47,901 --> 00:26:50,107
Dorcas, ready money
just walked in the hotel.
310
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,190
- Kale, mazuma, moola?
- The old lettuce and plenty of it.
311
00:26:53,364 --> 00:26:56,034
A Texas Casanova by the name
of Col. Watterson Bixby...
312
00:26:56,201 --> 00:26:58,870
...and a sucker for dames.
- That's nothing, so are you.
313
00:26:59,037 --> 00:27:01,706
Dorcas, this is business. Listen.
314
00:27:01,998 --> 00:27:04,074
We've been in this joint
for five minutes...
315
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:06,658
...and we already contacted
the interested parties.
316
00:27:06,836 --> 00:27:08,995
- And are they interested.
- But haven't you...?
317
00:27:09,214 --> 00:27:11,420
We spent a lot of money
to put over this deal.
318
00:27:11,633 --> 00:27:14,088
Say, $ 10,000 is a lot of hay.
319
00:27:14,302 --> 00:27:16,591
- It's a lot of money too.
- Shh.
320
00:27:16,888 --> 00:27:19,379
He's got the suite down the hall.
Get him in here...
321
00:27:19,557 --> 00:27:21,929
...and I'll watch
for your drink order at the bar.
322
00:27:22,101 --> 00:27:24,308
Then I'll walk in
at the right time. Get it?
323
00:27:24,687 --> 00:27:26,976
And don't forget
to use your Southern accent.
324
00:27:27,190 --> 00:27:31,519
- Does y'all mean like this, honey?
- Fine, that's it.
325
00:27:33,488 --> 00:27:35,148
I'll be right back.
326
00:27:45,291 --> 00:27:46,323
Oh!
327
00:27:46,501 --> 00:27:51,127
Oh, y'all, please don't leave me,
please don't leave me.
328
00:27:57,971 --> 00:28:01,007
Oh! Oh, please.
329
00:28:08,940 --> 00:28:10,683
Oh, my hero.
330
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:14,234
I declare, I'd have collapsed in the hall
if it hadn't been for you...
331
00:28:14,404 --> 00:28:16,480
...and someone else
might have come along...
332
00:28:16,656 --> 00:28:20,072
...someone not so strong,
so gallant.
333
00:28:20,285 --> 00:28:22,111
Come sit here beside me.
334
00:28:22,662 --> 00:28:24,322
Why?
335
00:28:25,206 --> 00:28:29,370
- Why, I still feel a little faint.
- I'll go get a doctor if you like.
336
00:28:29,919 --> 00:28:31,378
Oh, let us have some drinks.
337
00:28:31,588 --> 00:28:35,799
- Shall I order a couple of Sazeracs?
- I'm sorry, lady, but I don't drink.
338
00:28:36,009 --> 00:28:37,171
You don't drink?
339
00:28:37,343 --> 00:28:41,388
- I mean, you all don't drink?
- Uh-uh.
340
00:28:41,598 --> 00:28:45,927
Oh, would you mind if I had
a little snifter? I mean a little sip?
341
00:28:46,436 --> 00:28:47,847
Certainly not.
342
00:28:48,062 --> 00:28:50,767
Would you mind pouring it for me?
343
00:29:01,659 --> 00:29:03,118
See, I've sweetened it.
344
00:29:03,328 --> 00:29:05,404
- One little sip?
- Uh-uh.
345
00:29:05,705 --> 00:29:07,164
Just for poor little me?
346
00:29:08,041 --> 00:29:11,873
Just one little sip, but just one.
347
00:29:25,225 --> 00:29:27,348
You know, that's a bit of all right.
348
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,475
I declare, for a Texan, you all have
a mighty funny dialect, colonel.
349
00:29:31,689 --> 00:29:34,690
- Colonel?
- Aren't you Col. Watterson Bixby?
350
00:29:34,901 --> 00:29:36,977
- No, I'm his valet.
- What?
351
00:29:37,195 --> 00:29:39,401
- Yeah, my name is Potts.
- Potts!
352
00:29:39,614 --> 00:29:41,939
Yeah, P-O "otts," Potts.
353
00:29:43,326 --> 00:29:45,449
- Come in.
- Oh, no, that's my husband.
354
00:29:45,620 --> 00:29:47,114
Oh. Yeow!
355
00:29:49,082 --> 00:29:50,991
Hide, quick!
356
00:29:58,842 --> 00:30:02,756
Colonel Watterson Bixby
of Amarillo County, Texas, my fair lady.
357
00:30:02,929 --> 00:30:07,092
As your neighbor down the hall,
I've come to present my regards...
358
00:30:07,267 --> 00:30:10,470
...and convey my felicitations.
359
00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:18,517
Colonel Watterson Bixby.
I'm almighty proud to meet you all.
360
00:30:18,736 --> 00:30:22,651
- Come right in.
- Thank you, ma'am.
361
00:30:25,076 --> 00:30:29,738
- My name is Mary Lou, colonel.
- What a pretty name.
362
00:30:29,956 --> 00:30:33,372
- Can I call you Mary?
- Please do.
363
00:30:33,585 --> 00:30:36,123
And you just call me Watty.
364
00:30:36,337 --> 00:30:40,252
Watty. How about a drink?
Shall I order a couple of Sazeracs?
365
00:30:40,466 --> 00:30:45,461
A couple? Why, madam, that's just
a three-furlong dash to a 4-year-old.
366
00:30:45,638 --> 00:30:47,014
Order a dozen.
367
00:30:47,182 --> 00:30:50,348
And it shall be
Colonel Watterson Bixby's pleasure...
368
00:30:51,019 --> 00:30:53,557
...my little magnolia blossom.
369
00:30:54,689 --> 00:30:58,105
A dozen Sazeracs for 807, please.
370
00:31:00,111 --> 00:31:04,690
Mary, is that hard liquor
I see on yonder table?
371
00:31:05,033 --> 00:31:08,366
But that is brandy, colonel,
and I've ordered absinthe.
372
00:31:08,578 --> 00:31:12,492
The perfect chaser.
Permit me.
373
00:31:17,170 --> 00:31:22,330
To the fairest flower in the garden
of Southern womanhood.
374
00:31:27,388 --> 00:31:28,420
Ahh.
375
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,131
- Sit down, colonel.
Thank you.
376
00:31:37,065 --> 00:31:41,892
I've heard no woman
can resist you, Watty.
377
00:31:42,111 --> 00:31:45,362
Mary, you gonna have
a lot of fun proving it.
378
00:31:45,573 --> 00:31:48,325
- You mind if I smoke?
- Not at all.
379
00:31:48,535 --> 00:31:50,159
Thank you.
380
00:31:59,337 --> 00:32:02,955
- Cigarette?
- Oh, no, thank you.
381
00:32:03,216 --> 00:32:05,209
- Light?
- Thank you.
382
00:32:31,786 --> 00:32:33,161
- Things are moving?
- Yeah.
383
00:32:33,371 --> 00:32:36,123
Oliver has just walked
into the spider's web.
384
00:32:36,332 --> 00:32:38,159
I found the third member
of the party.
385
00:32:38,376 --> 00:32:40,250
He's running a showboat nightclub.
386
00:32:40,420 --> 00:32:42,294
That's fine.
That's where you come in.
387
00:32:42,505 --> 00:32:44,996
- What do you mean?
- I've sort of been worrying...
388
00:32:45,175 --> 00:32:48,508
...for fear you'd be in the way.
If we got in a jam, that is.
389
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,637
- I'll stick with you boys.
- Don't you see?
390
00:32:51,806 --> 00:32:55,258
Nightclub, singing, that's your racket.
You get a job, pave the way...
391
00:32:55,435 --> 00:32:57,593
...we'll move in
and clean out the whole gang.
392
00:32:57,770 --> 00:33:00,688
You mean you want me to walk out
before I get the money?
393
00:33:02,567 --> 00:33:03,895
Oh.
394
00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:05,901
Does that mean you...?
395
00:33:06,154 --> 00:33:08,063
You still don't trust me?
396
00:33:08,281 --> 00:33:09,823
No.
397
00:33:10,033 --> 00:33:12,109
Because if you don't, well...
398
00:33:13,286 --> 00:33:15,528
...we might as well
call the whole thing off.
399
00:33:15,747 --> 00:33:17,739
Don't be silly.
400
00:33:17,957 --> 00:33:22,703
I trust you, Chester.
Don't think I'm not grateful.
401
00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:25,871
I'll do as you say.
402
00:33:33,139 --> 00:33:36,093
- Sit down, Mary Lou.
- Thank you.
403
00:33:49,656 --> 00:33:53,107
- Delicious.
- Nectar.
404
00:33:57,705 --> 00:34:01,655
Mary Lou, absinthe makes
the heart grow fonder.
405
00:34:09,717 --> 00:34:12,921
Hold your breath
and take nine sips of water.
406
00:34:13,137 --> 00:34:15,260
Thank you, colonel.
407
00:34:18,268 --> 00:34:22,135
Watty, you have lovely hands.
408
00:34:22,355 --> 00:34:24,348
Thank you, Mary.
409
00:34:50,425 --> 00:34:53,260
Impulsive little creature,
aren't you, darling?
410
00:34:53,469 --> 00:34:55,628
Shall...? Shall we all have
some music now?
411
00:34:55,847 --> 00:34:58,302
I don't mind if I do.
412
00:36:14,759 --> 00:36:17,511
Colonel, y'all dance divinely.
413
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:20,046
It must be the gypsy in me.
414
00:36:21,474 --> 00:36:24,392
Kiss me, my little dove.
415
00:36:24,936 --> 00:36:26,596
So!
416
00:36:32,068 --> 00:36:35,900
I find you, my wife,
in the arms of another man.
417
00:36:36,072 --> 00:36:39,358
Lionel, I can explain everything.
You can explain...
418
00:36:39,534 --> 00:36:42,570
- But, sir, you don't understand...
- I understand everything, sir.
419
00:36:42,745 --> 00:36:44,572
I should kill you both,
perhaps I will.
420
00:36:44,747 --> 00:36:46,407
- Oh, it was nothing.
- Nothing?
421
00:36:46,624 --> 00:36:50,289
You call it nothing when I find this
Casanova making violent love to you?
422
00:36:50,503 --> 00:36:53,670
- Why, I'll...
- Aah! Oh!
423
00:36:53,882 --> 00:36:57,416
And now, Colonel Watterson Bixby,
I'll deal with you.
424
00:36:57,594 --> 00:36:59,420
I'll go to name you co-respondent...
425
00:36:59,596 --> 00:37:01,304
...in my divorce case against my wife.
426
00:37:01,514 --> 00:37:04,184
No, no.
Think of my position in society.
427
00:37:04,392 --> 00:37:08,639
I'm in no mood for trifling.
- Can't this little matter be adjusted?
428
00:37:08,855 --> 00:37:11,725
Sir, you dare to offer me money?
429
00:37:11,941 --> 00:37:14,100
Well, just between
two Southern gentlemen.
430
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:16,726
Money for my wife? For my honor?
431
00:37:16,946 --> 00:37:20,814
- For my love?
- For my children.
432
00:37:21,409 --> 00:37:24,030
Your poor little innocent babes.
433
00:37:24,245 --> 00:37:27,910
Why should the sins of the father
be visited upon the children?
434
00:37:29,083 --> 00:37:31,456
- How much?
- Ten thousand dollars, sir.
435
00:37:31,669 --> 00:37:33,294
Ten thousand dollars?
436
00:37:33,505 --> 00:37:38,712
Ten years in jail is more like it,
my fine-feathered friend.
437
00:37:39,552 --> 00:37:41,461
Who are you?
438
00:37:42,931 --> 00:37:45,682
Sheriff Jonathan Bates
of Midvale County.
439
00:37:45,892 --> 00:37:49,225
I've got a warrant for your arrest
for swindling Mrs. Audrey Cowan...
440
00:37:49,395 --> 00:37:50,938
...out of $ 10,000.
441
00:37:51,147 --> 00:37:54,065
- You can't get away with this.
- Oh, no?
442
00:37:54,275 --> 00:37:55,686
Deputy.
443
00:37:56,110 --> 00:37:57,854
Yes, sheriff?
444
00:37:58,363 --> 00:38:01,399
- Got the extradition papers?
- Everything signed by the governor.
445
00:38:01,574 --> 00:38:04,528
- Put the handcuffs on him.
- Wait a minute, this can be fixed.
446
00:38:04,702 --> 00:38:07,028
Are you trying to bribe
an officer of the law?
447
00:38:07,205 --> 00:38:08,485
I wouldn't think of that.
448
00:38:08,665 --> 00:38:11,619
You've gotta realize this is
a business deal that went wrong.
449
00:38:11,793 --> 00:38:14,462
I'll refund the money,
save further trouble and expense.
450
00:38:14,629 --> 00:38:18,627
I'll turn my share of the money over,
and you can give it back to Mrs. Cowan.
451
00:38:20,468 --> 00:38:22,793
Well, the main thing
is to get the money back.
452
00:38:23,012 --> 00:38:24,388
Hand it over.
453
00:38:24,597 --> 00:38:27,432
Here's 5000.
That was my split.
454
00:38:27,642 --> 00:38:31,141
- What happened to the other $5000?
- My partner, Bennett, has it.
455
00:38:31,354 --> 00:38:33,810
Your partner tipped us off
you had all the dough.
456
00:38:34,023 --> 00:38:36,693
So that's where the squawk
comes from.
457
00:38:36,901 --> 00:38:39,606
Your partner, Bennett.
458
00:38:40,071 --> 00:38:41,649
Bennett.
459
00:38:47,871 --> 00:38:49,199
Put them up!
460
00:38:50,999 --> 00:38:53,916
You two cheap grifters thought
you could put something over.
461
00:38:54,127 --> 00:38:55,751
I got a notion to drill you.
462
00:38:55,962 --> 00:38:58,287
Hand back that dough, smart guys.
463
00:38:58,506 --> 00:39:00,166
Hand it over.
464
00:39:00,383 --> 00:39:02,376
We were only fooling.
465
00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:09,097
Get the handcuffs!
Give me the handcuffs!
466
00:39:11,269 --> 00:39:13,725
Here you are. Come on.
467
00:39:15,857 --> 00:39:18,229
- Hey, put him in the closet.
- All right.
468
00:39:21,112 --> 00:39:24,113
- Oh, no, you don't, Mary Lou.
- Aah!
469
00:39:27,702 --> 00:39:30,738
Come on, hurry, hurry. We gotta
get out of this joint fast.
470
00:41:33,661 --> 00:41:35,156
Well, what do you say, Tony?
471
00:41:35,705 --> 00:41:39,204
No, this is not my racket.
Of this I know from nothing.
472
00:41:39,417 --> 00:41:43,331
I'll give you a half-interest. All I need
is 5 grand to open the show.
473
00:41:43,546 --> 00:41:45,835
Five grand's a lot of money.
474
00:41:46,758 --> 00:41:49,712
Sometimes it takes me
a whole week to make 5 grand.
475
00:41:56,976 --> 00:41:59,135
Isn't he going to help you,
Mr. Bennett?
476
00:41:59,312 --> 00:42:02,847
No dice. I had plans, Susan.
I was gonna make a big star out of you.
477
00:42:03,066 --> 00:42:05,438
I knew you had the stuff
the first time I saw you.
478
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:09,193
Would Tony Queen put up the money
if he thought he had a sure thing?
479
00:42:10,949 --> 00:42:13,784
If Tony thought he had a cinch,
he'd kick in with plenty.
480
00:42:14,953 --> 00:42:17,491
- Wish I could help you.
- Thanks anyway.
481
00:42:17,664 --> 00:42:20,036
You don't happen to have
any money in your family?
482
00:42:20,208 --> 00:42:23,624
Oh, I have an aunt in Boston
who has quite a lot, but that's Boston.
483
00:42:23,837 --> 00:42:28,000
It doesn't do us much good when I'd
figured I'd open in a couple of nights.
484
00:42:28,216 --> 00:42:31,170
Never mind any more rehearsals
for the present, honey.
485
00:42:33,847 --> 00:42:35,471
I'm out.
486
00:42:35,765 --> 00:42:39,679
Well, boys, this has gone far enough.
I'll just call that $2 bet.
487
00:42:39,894 --> 00:42:41,934
- What have you got?
- Two pair.
488
00:42:42,856 --> 00:42:47,564
- Why, you dummy, you've got four aces.
- Just a minute, boys.
489
00:42:48,027 --> 00:42:49,854
Straight flush.
490
00:42:57,537 --> 00:42:58,948
What's the good news, Susan?
491
00:42:59,122 --> 00:43:01,114
Bennett had Tony Queen
down this morning...
492
00:43:01,291 --> 00:43:04,707
...trying to get him to put some money
in the show, but nothing doing.
493
00:43:04,919 --> 00:43:06,959
- He wouldn't go for it, huh?
- No.
494
00:43:07,172 --> 00:43:11,086
Bennett said he could get all the money
in the world from him for a sure thing...
495
00:43:11,301 --> 00:43:14,385
...but this is evidently
a little too legitimate.
496
00:43:14,637 --> 00:43:17,472
- He even tried to promote me.
- What'd you say to that?
497
00:43:17,682 --> 00:43:22,011
I told him the only one in my family
with money was an aunt in Boston.
498
00:43:27,650 --> 00:43:29,892
Did you say you have
a rich aunt in Boston?
499
00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:31,896
Why, yes.
500
00:43:33,448 --> 00:43:37,066
Honey, your rich aunt from Boston
arrived in town this morning.
501
00:43:37,285 --> 00:43:38,696
Gee, that's swell.
502
00:43:38,912 --> 00:43:41,319
She came here to visit
her childhood sweetheart...
503
00:43:41,539 --> 00:43:45,122
...Colonel Watterson Bixby
of Amarillo County, Texas.
504
00:43:45,335 --> 00:43:47,707
But where is she?
We could go and get her.
505
00:43:47,879 --> 00:43:50,251
- Then we'd clean up the gang...
- She's right here.
506
00:43:51,549 --> 00:43:53,091
Where?
507
00:44:05,104 --> 00:44:06,433
Not me.
508
00:44:06,648 --> 00:44:08,889
I'm not gonna be a dame.
509
00:44:15,823 --> 00:44:17,531
Turn around.
510
00:44:19,661 --> 00:44:22,199
- How do I look?
- Absolutely perfect.
511
00:44:22,413 --> 00:44:24,702
- Let's go and show Chester.
- Wait just a minute.
512
00:44:24,874 --> 00:44:26,701
Let me see you walk.
513
00:44:35,093 --> 00:44:37,928
- All right?
- Not like that.
514
00:44:38,137 --> 00:44:40,426
Like this.
515
00:44:45,770 --> 00:44:49,353
- Simple.
- Show me that again.
516
00:44:55,405 --> 00:44:57,647
Now let's see you do it.
517
00:44:58,658 --> 00:45:03,154
Auntie! You look great. Don't forget,
your name is Emily Cartwright.
518
00:45:03,329 --> 00:45:05,737
- Emily Cartwright.
- It's late. We gotta hurry.
519
00:45:05,915 --> 00:45:07,575
Come on, Emmie.
520
00:45:08,877 --> 00:45:11,877
- Not you, it's me. l...
- Go on.
521
00:48:40,129 --> 00:48:42,585
- Charming and clever, isn't she?
- I agree.
522
00:48:42,757 --> 00:48:46,340
That's the only reason I'm considering
selling you a piece of the show.
523
00:48:46,511 --> 00:48:48,836
I want her to have
the best possible production.
524
00:48:49,055 --> 00:48:51,926
Of course, you know,
I wouldn't consider this investment...
525
00:48:52,141 --> 00:48:53,933
...if it wasn't for Susan's future...
526
00:48:54,143 --> 00:48:55,887
...would I, Watty?
- No.
527
00:48:56,104 --> 00:48:58,013
She is charming and clever,
Miss Emily.
528
00:48:58,231 --> 00:49:01,185
I hope you don't mind me
calling you Miss Emily.
529
00:49:01,401 --> 00:49:03,274
Oh, no, not at all.
530
00:49:03,486 --> 00:49:07,021
You know, I just love the way
you show people carry on.
531
00:49:08,908 --> 00:49:12,158
For $5000,
I'll give you 49 percent of the show.
532
00:49:12,328 --> 00:49:13,657
What do you think, Chester?
533
00:49:13,830 --> 00:49:16,535
Well, it... It sounds like
a sound business venture to me.
534
00:49:16,708 --> 00:49:19,080
That's splendid.
When shall we draw up the papers?
535
00:49:19,252 --> 00:49:21,161
- I suggest that...
- Now, now, sugar pie...
536
00:49:21,337 --> 00:49:23,377
...I wouldn't be too hasty.
537
00:49:23,590 --> 00:49:26,425
This theater business is very risky.
538
00:49:26,634 --> 00:49:28,627
I remember when I was young,
I was hooked...
539
00:49:28,803 --> 00:49:32,717
l... I mean, I invested $50,000
in a musical show.
540
00:49:32,932 --> 00:49:35,637
That, of course, my dear,
was before I met you.
541
00:49:35,852 --> 00:49:38,853
Well, remember, turtledove,
it's for Susan...
542
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:41,935
...and I want her
to have every opportunity.
543
00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:45,400
I know, lambie pie,
but Mr. Roger Billingham...
544
00:49:45,570 --> 00:49:49,318
...the biggest theatrical producer in
New York is a personal friend of mine...
545
00:49:49,532 --> 00:49:53,482
...and I'm sure
that I could interest him in Susan.
546
00:49:53,703 --> 00:49:56,408
- Well, you know best.
- Pardon me, Miss Emily.
547
00:49:56,623 --> 00:49:59,410
I'd like to talk to the colonel
privately.
548
00:49:59,626 --> 00:50:03,754
Colonel, there are a few things
I must explain to you.
549
00:50:03,963 --> 00:50:06,750
- Pardon me.
- Be firm, Watty.
550
00:50:10,220 --> 00:50:13,505
Look, colonel, I don't want anything
to go wrong with this deal.
551
00:50:13,723 --> 00:50:16,890
This also means quite a lot to me.
I have to protect my money.
552
00:50:17,101 --> 00:50:19,141
l... I mean, my future wife's money.
553
00:50:19,354 --> 00:50:23,221
Oh, I get it. Yeah, I fully understand.
554
00:50:23,441 --> 00:50:24,639
How about a hundred bucks?
555
00:50:36,746 --> 00:50:38,655
Well, Colonel Bixby
has changed his mind.
556
00:50:38,831 --> 00:50:40,908
He now feels
the proposition is excellent.
557
00:50:41,084 --> 00:50:43,539
Good. Chester,
you take care of the details.
558
00:50:43,753 --> 00:50:46,837
Just a minute.
I just happened to think...
559
00:50:47,006 --> 00:50:51,715
...that Emily won't have full control
of the show, only 49 percent.
560
00:50:51,928 --> 00:50:54,253
Thank you, Watty,
I didn't even think of that.
561
00:50:54,430 --> 00:50:55,973
Just a detail. Just a detail.
562
00:50:56,140 --> 00:51:00,518
I'm afraid the colonel
didn't quite understand my explanation.
563
00:51:02,647 --> 00:51:04,521
Pardon me again.
564
00:51:07,318 --> 00:51:09,311
This is the end of the roll, colonel.
565
00:51:09,529 --> 00:51:13,147
Three dollars and 15 cents.
That's all I got.
566
00:51:13,366 --> 00:51:17,993
Well, that's different, Mr. Bennett.
I didn't just see it that way at first.
567
00:51:18,788 --> 00:51:20,994
One, two, three.
568
00:51:23,251 --> 00:51:25,374
- Do you smoke?
- Yeah.
569
00:51:25,587 --> 00:51:27,793
Get yourself a package of cigarettes.
570
00:51:31,885 --> 00:51:35,752
Well, Miss Emily, 50 percent it is,
but the colonel drives a hard bargain.
571
00:51:35,972 --> 00:51:38,759
Oh, don't mind the colonel,
he'll grow on you.
572
00:51:38,975 --> 00:51:40,802
He won't grow on me.
573
00:51:41,019 --> 00:51:45,230
You know, Watty, I sometimes think
you're only marrying me for my money.
574
00:51:46,566 --> 00:51:49,139
Tut, tut, tut.
575
00:51:49,861 --> 00:51:53,906
Now, here's the proposition.
You put up $5000 and I put up 5000...
576
00:51:54,073 --> 00:51:56,481
...then we put the entire amount
in an envelope...
577
00:51:56,659 --> 00:51:59,281
...and you may keep that envelope
in your possession...
578
00:51:59,495 --> 00:52:02,117
...until all the papers are drawn up.
Is that clear?
579
00:52:03,791 --> 00:52:05,120
May I think this over?
580
00:52:18,014 --> 00:52:19,389
What do you think, Chester?
581
00:52:19,724 --> 00:52:23,473
As long as the money remains in your
possession, I can find no objections.
582
00:52:23,686 --> 00:52:26,557
Very well, it's settled.
- That's splendid.
583
00:52:26,773 --> 00:52:28,931
You know, that's the way
we Cartwrights do things.
584
00:52:30,693 --> 00:52:34,276
You be at my hotel in the morning
with the money and necessary papers.
585
00:52:34,489 --> 00:52:35,948
- I'll be there.
Mr. Bennett.
586
00:52:36,658 --> 00:52:38,983
- Goodbye, Miss Emily.
- Goodbye.
587
00:52:39,202 --> 00:52:41,444
- Come, Watty.
- Yes.
588
00:52:49,128 --> 00:52:51,002
But I only want the dough for a flash.
589
00:52:51,172 --> 00:52:53,165
It won't be out of your hands
two minutes.
590
00:52:53,341 --> 00:52:55,499
- What about the show?
- I'm gonna forget it.
591
00:52:55,677 --> 00:52:57,052
It's nothing but a headache.
592
00:52:57,220 --> 00:52:59,925
- What do I get out of the deal?
- This is getaway money.
593
00:53:00,098 --> 00:53:05,092
I'm willing to give you $ 1000
for the loan of 5 grand for 10 minutes.
594
00:53:05,311 --> 00:53:07,221
Fifty-fifty.
595
00:53:07,564 --> 00:53:09,437
- All right.
- You think the old gal...
596
00:53:09,607 --> 00:53:12,063
...will fall for the envelope switch?
- Of course.
597
00:53:12,235 --> 00:53:14,773
How do you suppose
I got the five in the first place?
598
00:53:14,988 --> 00:53:17,064
I'd hate to tell you, brother.
599
00:53:17,782 --> 00:53:21,317
- You know, Ollie, I was just thinking.
- What about?
600
00:53:21,536 --> 00:53:24,027
Nothing. I was just thinking.
601
00:53:25,707 --> 00:53:28,957
- Everything set on the envelope switch?
- Oh, sure.
602
00:53:29,210 --> 00:53:31,618
We'll make the switch first
and beat them to it.
603
00:53:31,838 --> 00:53:34,163
- You haven't got a thing to worry about.
- No.
604
00:53:34,340 --> 00:53:37,875
After you've made the switch, slip me
the envelope with the money in it...
605
00:53:38,052 --> 00:53:40,804
...tell me to go down,
put it in the hotel safe. And I go.
606
00:53:40,972 --> 00:53:43,926
- What's gonna happen to us?
- You make some excuse to leave...
607
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:46,887
...and hurry down to the railway station.
I'll be waiting.
608
00:53:47,061 --> 00:53:49,766
- What about Susan?
- She'll be there to meet us.
609
00:53:49,939 --> 00:53:52,644
I gotta go pay the hotel bill
and get our baggage out.
610
00:53:52,817 --> 00:53:55,735
- You better get set, they'll be here soon.
Right away.
611
00:53:55,904 --> 00:53:58,062
And, boys, be careful.
612
00:53:58,281 --> 00:54:01,982
We're dealing with one
of the toughest mobs in the country.
613
00:54:02,202 --> 00:54:03,993
I'm doing my best with him, Chester.
614
00:54:04,370 --> 00:54:08,700
One false move and we'll all wind up
on the bottom of the Mississippi.
615
00:54:09,709 --> 00:54:12,247
Wrapped in concrete.
616
00:54:16,257 --> 00:54:18,962
Wrapped in concrete.
617
00:54:19,886 --> 00:54:23,670
Are you sure you've got that envelope
routine straight in your mind?
618
00:54:23,890 --> 00:54:27,638
- Certainly. I've more than got it.
- Let's see it.
619
00:54:29,854 --> 00:54:32,772
Now, I've got two envelopes.
620
00:54:32,982 --> 00:54:36,601
This one contains torn strips
of newspaper.
621
00:54:36,819 --> 00:54:41,481
- Right?
- And this one contains $ 10,000.
622
00:54:41,699 --> 00:54:45,946
Now, Bennett gives me the $ 10,000.
623
00:54:46,162 --> 00:54:51,453
- Then I give it back to him. You see, l...
- I knew it, I knew it. Give...
624
00:54:51,668 --> 00:54:56,662
Now, this envelope
contains torn strips of newspaper.
625
00:54:56,881 --> 00:54:58,957
Put that in your pocket.
626
00:54:59,592 --> 00:55:02,629
Now, I'm Bennett and you're Stanley.
627
00:55:02,846 --> 00:55:09,050
Now, this envelope contains $ 10,000.
Put that in your pocket.
628
00:55:10,937 --> 00:55:14,140
How can you give me the envelope back
when I ask for it...
629
00:55:14,315 --> 00:55:16,142
...if you've got it in the other pocket?
630
00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:18,482
But you didn't ask me
for the other envelope.
631
00:55:18,695 --> 00:55:21,446
Oh, give me the envelopes. Here.
632
00:55:21,614 --> 00:55:24,449
Now, you're me and I'm you.
633
00:55:24,659 --> 00:55:26,782
How can you be me
when you're Bennett?
634
00:55:26,995 --> 00:55:31,158
- You just told me you were...
- You're Bennett and I'm Stanley.
635
00:55:31,374 --> 00:55:33,699
- Where's Ollie?
- He's standing over there...
636
00:55:33,877 --> 00:55:35,999
...somewhere, anywhere.
637
00:55:36,212 --> 00:55:38,205
- I don't get it. I just...
- Sit down.
638
00:55:38,423 --> 00:55:41,210
Sit down. We're practically
wrapped in concrete now.
639
00:55:41,759 --> 00:55:44,760
- At the bottom of the Mississippi?
- Yes, the bottom of the Mi...
640
00:55:44,929 --> 00:55:46,507
Never mind the Mississippi.
641
00:55:46,723 --> 00:55:48,965
- Where's 410?
- Right over there, sir.
642
00:55:49,184 --> 00:55:50,726
Thank you.
643
00:55:55,273 --> 00:55:57,182
There they are now.
644
00:56:03,698 --> 00:56:06,319
- Are you sure you've got the money?
- Yeah. Right here.
645
00:56:06,534 --> 00:56:09,571
Now, don't forget to be dignified.
646
00:56:12,373 --> 00:56:14,449
That's fine.
647
00:56:17,962 --> 00:56:20,288
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Good morning, colonel.
648
00:56:20,465 --> 00:56:21,840
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
649
00:56:22,008 --> 00:56:24,131
We're ready, willing
and able to do business.
650
00:56:24,302 --> 00:56:26,211
This is Mr. Queen,
an associate of mine.
651
00:56:26,387 --> 00:56:29,009
Mr. O'Grady and Mr. Taylor,
who are also interested.
652
00:56:29,224 --> 00:56:32,343
Charmed, I'm sure.
Oh, pardon me.
653
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,600
My adviser, Colonel Bixby.
654
00:56:34,812 --> 00:56:37,766
- I call him Bixie for short.
- How do you do?
655
00:56:37,982 --> 00:56:41,316
I brought along the currency
in $ 1000 notes, five of them.
656
00:56:41,528 --> 00:56:45,525
- Yes, yes, of course. Five more.
- Thank you.
657
00:56:45,698 --> 00:56:48,450
Now, we'll put them in the envelope...
658
00:56:49,410 --> 00:56:51,202
...as per the agreement.
659
00:56:54,165 --> 00:56:57,830
There you are. You hold on to it until
the details are completed, Miss Emily.
660
00:56:58,044 --> 00:56:59,538
Thank you.
661
00:57:00,171 --> 00:57:02,496
- Hello, Mr. Wright.
- Mr. Bennett.
662
00:57:02,715 --> 00:57:04,210
My secretary, Mr. Wright.
663
00:57:04,384 --> 00:57:05,712
- Mr. Queen.
- Mr. Queen.
664
00:57:05,885 --> 00:57:07,794
- How are you?
- That completes everything.
665
00:57:07,971 --> 00:57:09,595
- Good morning.
- Goodbye.
666
00:57:09,806 --> 00:57:12,511
Oh, by the way,
for our mutual protection...
667
00:57:12,725 --> 00:57:16,474
...don't you think we better put a mark
of identification on that envelope?
668
00:57:16,646 --> 00:57:18,971
Oh, I don't think it's necessary,
really.
669
00:57:20,608 --> 00:57:22,316
Just a matter of business.
670
00:57:23,361 --> 00:57:25,982
Well, maybe you're right, eh, Bixie?
671
00:57:26,197 --> 00:57:28,237
I think so.
672
00:57:34,789 --> 00:57:36,449
Thank you.
673
00:57:44,424 --> 00:57:45,966
- There you are.
- Thank you.
674
00:57:46,176 --> 00:57:49,545
Well, that makes the deal
as solid as concrete.
675
00:57:50,096 --> 00:57:52,717
Maybe, colonel,
you'd better keep this...
676
00:57:53,850 --> 00:57:56,305
Well, how about celebrating?
677
00:57:56,519 --> 00:57:58,393
Let's have a snort of bourbon.
678
00:57:59,814 --> 00:58:01,937
Emmie means a little libation.
679
00:58:02,525 --> 00:58:04,565
I think I have a bottle
in the next room.
680
00:58:04,777 --> 00:58:08,645
If you'll give me the envelope, I'll take it
down and put it in the hotel safe.
681
00:58:08,823 --> 00:58:10,899
That's a good idea. Thank you.
682
00:58:11,576 --> 00:58:13,569
Good day, gentlemen.
683
00:58:16,247 --> 00:58:17,955
How about the bourbon, Bixie?
684
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:21,535
I'll go right in and get it, Emmie dear.
685
00:58:21,753 --> 00:58:23,496
Pardon me, boys.
686
00:58:26,549 --> 00:58:30,677
You know, gentlemen,
I'm one of those nip-and-tuck drinkers.
687
00:58:30,887 --> 00:58:32,465
What's that, Miss Emily?
688
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,096
One nip and they tuck me away
for the night.
689
00:58:41,481 --> 00:58:44,102
I feel so gay.
690
00:58:48,321 --> 00:58:51,690
- Did you ever hear the one about...?
- Emmie, I can't find the bottle.
691
00:58:51,866 --> 00:58:55,650
- Where did you put it?
- Excuse me. I'll be right back.
692
00:59:15,265 --> 00:59:17,803
If I hadn't have seen it,
I wouldn't have believed it.
693
00:59:17,976 --> 00:59:21,676
- I told you it would be a cinch.
- Hey, Jimmy, watch that door.
694
00:59:28,236 --> 00:59:31,023
- What are you trying to do, cross me?
- Cross you?
695
00:59:31,239 --> 00:59:35,071
- I've been slipped the business myself.
- Catch that dame.
696
00:59:35,618 --> 00:59:38,904
- She's ducked. They've beat it.
- Let's get out of here.
697
00:59:39,539 --> 00:59:42,872
- Come on, sister, where's that dough?
- I haven't got it, really.
698
00:59:43,042 --> 00:59:46,043
- That secretary's got it.
- Yes, he took it to the office.
699
00:59:46,212 --> 00:59:48,703
If you're on this frame,
it'll be a case of murder.
700
00:59:48,923 --> 00:59:52,755
I'm not that dumb. We were taken.
This pair's crooked. Where's Wright?
701
00:59:52,969 --> 00:59:54,712
That money belongs to Miss Cowan.
702
00:59:54,929 --> 00:59:57,716
You know very well you stole it
from her mother.
703
00:59:57,932 --> 00:59:59,925
- Why, you.
- Oh!
704
01:00:00,310 --> 01:00:02,386
We were only trying
to get it back for her.
705
01:00:02,604 --> 01:00:04,596
Oh, I wish you weren't a dame.
706
01:00:04,814 --> 01:00:08,812
Wright's on the way to the showboat to
pick her up. That's our next stop, boys.
707
01:00:15,366 --> 01:00:16,742
I don't know who crossed who.
708
01:00:16,993 --> 01:00:20,528
I'm out 5 grand, and somebody's
gonna pay it back to me or else.
709
01:00:20,747 --> 01:00:23,664
I was on the level. I wanted the dough
for the old convincer.
710
01:00:23,833 --> 01:00:25,162
I was gonna turn it back.
711
01:00:25,335 --> 01:00:27,742
- You were played for a chump.
- Here she is, Tony.
712
01:00:27,962 --> 01:00:32,209
Oh, so this the little gal who dug up
the pretty trap you walked into.
713
01:00:32,425 --> 01:00:34,963
- Smart.
- Where's Wright?
714
01:00:35,178 --> 01:00:36,755
Come on, tell us.
715
01:00:36,971 --> 01:00:39,593
- I don't know where he is.
- Where did you see him last?
716
01:00:39,807 --> 01:00:42,133
The other day
when he was here with you.
717
01:00:42,352 --> 01:00:44,309
- Don't they know?
- He's disappeared.
718
01:00:44,521 --> 01:00:46,560
I'm afraid he's hoodwinked all of us.
719
01:00:46,773 --> 01:00:48,979
We've been left holding the bag.
720
01:00:53,947 --> 01:00:56,402
You framed all this.
You know where he is. Tell us.
721
01:00:56,616 --> 01:01:00,945
- Lay off for a minute, Bennett.
- Chester was just fooling us all the time?
722
01:01:01,162 --> 01:01:03,570
That he never intended
to pay me back the money?
723
01:01:03,831 --> 01:01:06,157
I'm afraid he's made fools of all of us.
724
01:01:06,376 --> 01:01:09,495
Yeah, you and the two dames
were stooges for a smart operator.
725
01:01:09,712 --> 01:01:13,580
And you fell for his gag like a
cornhusker from the wide-open spaces.
726
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,587
Hey, wait a minute. I got an idea.
727
01:01:16,803 --> 01:01:19,210
I'll take this joint over, open,
like you planned.
728
01:01:19,430 --> 01:01:22,550
Later, I'll bring in the birdcage,
roulette wheels, dice tables.
729
01:01:22,851 --> 01:01:26,385
I can clean up. You're gonna stay
because I need you in the show...
730
01:01:26,604 --> 01:01:29,938
...and I like you. I got an idea
we're gonna be good friends yet.
731
01:01:30,149 --> 01:01:32,189
You stick here and watch her
and Bennett.
732
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,688
Me?
- Yes, you.
733
01:01:33,903 --> 01:01:36,525
You do a swell act,
but I want to look over your lines.
734
01:01:36,698 --> 01:01:39,070
Maybe you and Wright
are planning to split fifty-fifty.
735
01:01:39,242 --> 01:01:40,985
- Just a minute...
- Take these two...
736
01:01:41,202 --> 01:01:44,037
...to the boiler room
until I decide what to do with them.
737
01:01:44,372 --> 01:01:48,452
You're gonna get a nasty letter from
our lawyer for that Halloween crack.
738
01:01:48,668 --> 01:01:50,328
Get out.
739
01:02:09,189 --> 01:02:13,020
- My goodness, it's chilly in here.
- Here, put this around you.
740
01:02:13,234 --> 01:02:15,227
- Thank you.
- Hey, Mike.
741
01:02:16,404 --> 01:02:18,776
Go tell Joe to put
some more fire in the boilers.
742
01:02:18,948 --> 01:02:21,356
We'll have the customers
sitting on their hands in a minute.
743
01:02:21,534 --> 01:02:22,649
Okay.
744
01:02:30,251 --> 01:02:34,581
Hey, Joe. Boss says to fire up. People
are freezing their ears off upstairs.
745
01:02:34,756 --> 01:02:38,504
Yeah? That's where you come in, buddy.
Make with the shovel.
746
01:02:39,135 --> 01:02:41,887
- Me?
Yeah, you, and no beefs about it.
747
01:02:42,096 --> 01:02:43,591
Well, what about...?
748
01:02:43,806 --> 01:02:47,140
So you're one of those guys that
have no respect for the opposite sex.
749
01:02:47,727 --> 01:02:50,811
Make with the shovel. Come on.
750
01:02:52,857 --> 01:02:53,936
Aah!
751
01:03:00,990 --> 01:03:02,366
Oh!
752
01:04:06,389 --> 01:04:09,723
Well, here's another nice mess
you've gotten me into.
753
01:04:10,518 --> 01:04:12,594
I'm sorry, l...
754
01:04:12,812 --> 01:04:17,225
Now, smart guy, shovel every lump
of that coal into that boiler.
755
01:04:17,775 --> 01:04:19,519
Would you mind
handing me my shovel?
756
01:04:19,694 --> 01:04:21,603
Get out.
- Now, don't. No, don't...
757
01:07:17,038 --> 01:07:18,829
What's that?
758
01:07:19,541 --> 01:07:22,292
- These are gas pills.
- That's exactly what I need.
759
01:07:22,460 --> 01:07:24,204
I got indigestion.
760
01:07:24,879 --> 01:07:26,788
- But these are different...
- Shut up.
761
01:07:27,006 --> 01:07:28,666
Get shoveling.
762
01:07:28,883 --> 01:07:32,050
- Will you get me a glass of water, babe?
- Yes.
763
01:07:37,475 --> 01:07:41,343
- Please don't take that.
- Oh, sit down, sweetie pie.
764
01:07:42,063 --> 01:07:44,981
I've had indigestion before.
765
01:07:51,781 --> 01:07:54,699
This is sure gonna save my life.
766
01:08:05,128 --> 01:08:07,286
Why, that's fine.
767
01:08:09,340 --> 01:08:11,914
Oh! What kind of pills are those anyhow?
768
01:08:12,135 --> 01:08:14,756
We tried to tell you
they were gas pills.
769
01:08:14,971 --> 01:08:17,842
Oh, take me down out of here.
770
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:19,928
Oh! Oh!
771
01:08:20,476 --> 01:08:21,935
Get me out of here!
772
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,271
Oh! Oh! Oh!
773
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:38,911
- Nice going, sister.
- It's not my sister, my mother.
774
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:40,235
Come, Mother dear.
775
01:08:44,083 --> 01:08:47,084
You know, there's no reason
why we shouldn't be friends...
776
01:08:47,295 --> 01:08:48,789
...good friends, kid.
777
01:08:54,427 --> 01:08:57,463
String along with me,
you'll be sitting on top of the world.
778
01:09:06,814 --> 01:09:09,685
We ought to celebrate at that.
We'll drink to each other.
779
01:09:12,487 --> 01:09:15,441
I thought you'd begin
to see things my way.
780
01:09:15,907 --> 01:09:17,698
Here's to you, babe.
781
01:09:22,914 --> 01:09:24,574
Good, eh?
782
01:09:31,339 --> 01:09:33,332
Call a doctor.
783
01:09:57,574 --> 01:09:59,650
Keep your eyes open.
784
01:10:23,892 --> 01:10:25,220
Oh!
785
01:11:26,204 --> 01:11:27,615
The boat's loose.
786
01:11:29,624 --> 01:11:31,782
The old Fremont.
She's loose on the river.
787
01:11:32,001 --> 01:11:33,709
Send out the riverboat.
788
01:12:36,733 --> 01:12:38,690
Watch where you're going.
789
01:12:49,746 --> 01:12:53,790
All right, everybody go below.
Everybody go below. Come on.
790
01:12:55,418 --> 01:12:58,170
I was going to the pier when
I heard the boat broke loose.
791
01:12:58,338 --> 01:12:59,915
I hopped on the police boat and...
792
01:13:01,549 --> 01:13:04,883
- Well, baby, what's the matter?
- What did you do with the money?
793
01:13:05,094 --> 01:13:09,258
I wired the money to your mother
this morning. Look, there's the receipt.
794
01:13:14,854 --> 01:13:17,772
Oh, Chester, I'm sorry.
795
01:13:18,858 --> 01:13:21,729
Chester. Why...
796
01:13:34,541 --> 01:13:36,580
Come on, baby, let's go.
797
01:13:53,101 --> 01:13:54,512
Oh!
798
01:14:08,116 --> 01:14:11,033
Well, we're going down
for the third time.
799
01:14:11,244 --> 01:14:13,035
I'm sorry.
- Oh!
800
01:14:14,622 --> 01:14:15,737
Oh!
801
01:14:20,795 --> 01:14:22,871
