- Oh, honey, I'm not
going to the arctic.

00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:08,974
I'm only going to New
York for a day or two.

get a little cold.

00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,245
- Hey, Mom, Dad.

00:00:13,246 --> 00:00:17,016
The morning paper just
came in, and look it.

00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,684
- "Phantom Burglar
strikes again."

00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:20,486
Oh, my goodness.

00:00:20,487 --> 00:00:24,189
- "The Arthur P. Morris residence
at 74 Oak Street was broken

Well, honey, that's the fourth

in this neighborhood.

ought to go and leave you

And don't forget, I'll be
here as the man of the house

to protect Mom, too.

- That's right, dear.

22
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,280
- OK, man of the house,
I'm depending on you

23
00:00:48,281 --> 00:00:50,616
to see that all the windows
and doors are securely

TOMMY (OFFSCREEN): Hey, Dennis.

Don't you worry, Dad.

No dumb old robber's
gonna bother Mom

We'll clobber him.

you do to a big mean robber?

kit for snakebite?

I put them all in one box.

through those
magazines I'm trying

to sell to get a free bicycle?

my dad bring you something?

All right, Mrs. Malby, I'll get
up there as soon as possible.

soon as possible, Mom?

Now, let's see.

I gotta be here for my

Well, what am I
going to do with you?

I'm afraid I have
something of a problem.

Maybe when Mr.
Wilson gets sleepy,

I'll be able to sell
him some magazines.

trouble is, Alice,

Oh, but Dennis can sleep
with John in our room.

No, dear, I'm sure
John don't mind.

like fun, Alice.

Have a nice trip.

- Eloise Wilson, are you out
of your cotton-picking mind?

124
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,489
- Now, John, this
is an emergency.

125
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:51,657
- Emergency?

I don't care if the
sun has left its orbit

and threatens to roast
us alive by midnight.

That boy is not--
- Now, dear.

Now, dear.

00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:59,098
Henry's mother hurt
her leg, and Alice

131

has to have some place to
leave Dennis while she's away,

132

because Henry's
out of town, too.

- What's wrong with their house?

a boy Dennis' age alone.

- Why not?

up or something.

resting his pointed little head

And that is final!

swell bed, Mrs. Wilson.

Glad you like it.

Goodnight, John.

- Oh, by the way, dear, if
you get hungry in the night,

147
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:53,485
just go downstairs and pick
something for yourself.

- Oh boy, what kind of something?

00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:58,157
- Oh, any kind of something
you find in the refrigerator.

- Try to leave the light bulb.

00:06:32,325 --> 00:06:34,093
a lifetime subscription
to any five

164
00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:38,230

a week for 20 years.

- 20 years?

166
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:41,867
- And if you die
before the time is up,

167
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:44,570
the magazines will keep
coming to your next of kin,

168
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,872
for no extra charge.

169
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:51,076
- Dennis, let's go to sleep.

170
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,811
- Goodnight, Mr. Wilson.

171
00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:56,115
MR. WILSON (OFFSCREEN):
Goodnight, Dennis.

Dennis?

176
00:07:05,058 --> 00:07:06,926
Is that frog in this room?

177
00:07:07,027 --> 00:07:08,027
- Yes, sir.

178
00:07:08,028 --> 00:07:10,062
He's in a shoebox
underneath my bed.

179
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:12,031
But he won't be any bother.

180
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:14,800
Sam's one frog who
sleeps like a horse.

181
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:19,338
- Dennis, get that slimy
creature out of this bedroom.

182
00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:21,540
- OK, Mr. Wilson.

- Sam won't bother you
anymore, Mr. Wilson.

186
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:39,224
I put him out in the hall.

187
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:40,726
- That's fine.

188
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:43,963

thing we're such close friends,

189
00:07:44,064 --> 00:07:44,964
huh?

00:07:45,065 --> 00:07:46,465
- Yes, it is.

00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,234
Now let's get some sleep.

want me to do if I

193
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:59,078
hear the Phantom
Burglar downstairs?

194
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,147
- Tell him to be quiet.

195
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,482
- Let's see.

Got my flashlight, my
handcuffs, and my water gun

197
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,790
that looks like a real
one, just in case.

198
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:20,299
Are you getting a little
hungry, Mr. Wilson?

199
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,734
I am.

You mean you're calling

He's downstairs.

- Somebody call me?

00:10:23,890 --> 00:10:26,692
Of course somebody called you.

Mooney, were you eating again?

- Who, me?

223

Of course not, Lieutenant.

- Well, get right
down to 625 Elm.

00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:35,968
There's a prowler report.

And proceed with
caution, or you're

yourself by mistake.

Someone went past the window.

- It's someone with a flashlight.
- Golly.

I betcha it's the

you be careful?

up and report a prowler?

to be a mistake.

- John Wilson, now what do
you think you're doing?

326
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:55,114
- Eloise, I have decided
to go to the Mitchell's.

327
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,415
- To the Mitchell's?

328
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:57,883
- That's right, to
the Mitchell's.

329
00:16:57,884 --> 00:17:01,353
Since Dennis insists on sleeping
in my room, I'm going over

330
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:02,187
and sleep in his.

331
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,522
- John, really.

332
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:05,290
- Don't try to stop me, Eloise.

333
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,927
I'm going to get a night's
sleep if it kills me.

334
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:11,064
- Oh, John.
Ugh.

335
00:17:29,883 --> 00:17:31,350
- Alligator, blech.

336
00:17:31,351 --> 00:17:37,824
Trapped.

337
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:13,225
Oh, no.

338
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:35,514
- Golly.

339
00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:37,050
There's somebody in my room.

340
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:50,062
Operator, get me the police.

341
00:18:50,063 --> 00:18:53,866
[phone ringing]
- All right.

342
00:18:53,867 --> 00:18:54,834
All right.

343
00:18:57,771 --> 00:18:58,872
Lieutenant Wheeler speaking.

344
00:19:02,509 --> 00:19:04,443
Are you sure?

345
00:19:04,444 --> 00:19:08,213
Yeah, 627 Elm.

346
00:19:08,214 --> 00:19:09,181
Hey, wait a minute.

347
00:19:09,182 --> 00:19:12,217
Isn't that-- oh, I see.

348
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:14,486
It's right next door to
the-- the Wilson house.

349
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:15,187
Yeah.

350
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:16,455
All right, little boy.

351
00:19:16,456 --> 00:19:18,258
Just don't do anything
until somebody gets there.

352
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:25,597
Car 68, car 68, come in.

353
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:26,765
Wake up, Mooney.

354
00:19:26,766 --> 00:19:28,467
We've got a Phantom
Burglar report.

355
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:29,669
- Oh, not again.

356
00:19:41,247 --> 00:19:44,283
- Psst, Sergeant Mooney.

357
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:46,251
- Dennis, don't do that.

358
00:19:46,252 --> 00:19:47,454
What's this about
a phantom burglar?

359
00:19:53,393 --> 00:19:55,060
- Yeah, somebody up
there, all right.

360
00:19:55,061 --> 00:19:56,628
- It can't be my folks, either.

361
00:19:56,629 --> 00:19:57,797
They're both out of town.

362
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,201
- Yeah, the MO fits.

363
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,435
Skeleton key still in the lock.

364
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:05,771
- How can you tell
it's a skeleton key?

365
00:20:05,772 --> 00:20:07,073
- Experience, my boy.
Experience.

366
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:17,182
Now, you stay behind.

367
00:20:17,183 --> 00:20:17,983
Keep out of my way.

368
00:20:17,984 --> 00:20:21,153
This is police work.

369
00:20:21,154 --> 00:20:24,656
[footsteps]

370
00:20:24,657 --> 00:20:25,658
- Phantom Burglar.

371
00:20:39,606 --> 00:20:41,073
- We got you surrounded.

372
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:41,940
Close in on him, men.

373
00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:43,742
[whistles]

374
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:44,677
[clutter falling]

375
00:20:44,678 --> 00:20:48,047
- Don't you move!

376
00:20:48,048 --> 00:20:50,949
- Ah, well, well, if
it isn't John Wilson,

377
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:54,486
public nighttime
nuisance number one.

378
00:20:54,487 --> 00:20:56,488
- Smile, John, you're
on "Candid Camera."

379
00:20:56,489 --> 00:20:58,924
[laughs]

380
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:00,426
- Oh, Mooney.

381
00:21:00,427 --> 00:21:03,395
[phone rings]

382
00:21:03,396 --> 00:21:05,064
- I wonder who that is.

383
00:21:05,065 --> 00:21:12,137
[phone rings]

384
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:12,972
- Hello?

385
00:21:13,073 --> 00:21:15,107
Oh, oh, it's you, Eloise.

386
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:17,476
- Dear, is Dennis over there?

387
00:21:17,477 --> 00:21:18,777
- Yes, he is.

388
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:20,879
Also our friend Sergeant Mooney.

389
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,781
- Oh, thank goodness.

390
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:26,251
When I peeked in his room and
found his bed empty, I-- what's

391
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:27,886
Sergeant Mooney
doing over there?

392
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:29,621
- Well, haven't you heard?

393
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:32,758
We're having a pajama party.

394
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,126
- Dear, may I suggest--

395
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:35,562
[bump]

396
00:21:38,998 --> 00:21:41,801
- [gasps] John, I think
there's somebody downstairs.

397
00:21:45,105 --> 00:21:46,672
- Lock yourself in
your room, Eloise.

398
00:21:46,673 --> 00:21:49,009
We'll be right over.

399
00:21:49,109 --> 00:21:50,943
Mooney, the Phantom
Burglar is at my house.

400
00:21:50,944 --> 00:21:58,817
- There's somebody

401
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,252
I can see his light.

402
00:22:00,253 --> 00:22:01,420
- Let's nab him.

403
00:22:01,421 --> 00:22:02,888
- You stay out here, Dennis.

404
00:22:02,889 --> 00:22:04,089
- That's right, Dennis.

405
00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:06,960
The man in there is no
doubt a vicious criminal.

406
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:07,593
- Here.

407
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:08,061
Here are my keys.

408
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,432
Waiting for him
to die of old age?

409
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:14,266
- Don't rush me.

410
00:22:14,267 --> 00:22:16,468
Don't rush me.

411
00:22:16,469 --> 00:22:17,736
- You got your gun?

412
00:22:17,737 --> 00:22:19,705
- Of course I got my gun.

413
00:22:19,706 --> 00:22:21,675
I wish I had the bullets for it.

414
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:42,227
- My coin collection.
- Stop in the name of the law!

415
00:22:42,228 --> 00:22:43,095
Come on, John.

416
00:22:43,096 --> 00:22:44,530
Let's grab him.

417
00:22:44,531 --> 00:22:45,264
- Here, here.

418
00:22:45,265 --> 00:22:45,999
There he goes.

419
00:22:46,099 --> 00:22:47,000
All right.

420
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,470
[yelling and banging]
- Come on.

421
00:22:51,471 --> 00:22:54,473
Somebody turn on the lights.

422
00:22:54,474 --> 00:22:57,109
- May I have the next dance?

423
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:58,110
- Mooney.

424
00:22:58,111 --> 00:23:00,947
I might have known.

425
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:02,848
- Stop shoving.

426
00:23:02,849 --> 00:23:04,416
For heaven's sake.

427
00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:05,918
- Dennis.

428
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:06,752
- He caught him.

429
00:23:06,753 --> 00:23:08,053
- He caught the Phantom Burglar.

430
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:11,123
- With my water gun.

431
00:23:11,124 --> 00:23:12,491
- Dennis.

432
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:13,625
- A water gun.

433
00:23:13,626 --> 00:23:14,827
Caught by a little
boy with a water gun.

434
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:16,462
Oh, I should live so long.

435
00:23:16,463 --> 00:23:18,597
- You will, about 20
years in Alcatraz.

436
00:23:18,598 --> 00:23:20,833
I'll take over now, Dennis.

437
00:23:20,834 --> 00:23:23,369
- Are you really the
Phantom Burglar?

438
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:25,137
- Oh, for goodness sake.

439
00:23:25,138 --> 00:23:26,071
Can't you tell?

440
00:23:26,072 --> 00:23:28,073
- Come on along.

441
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:30,476
I forgot my cuffs.

442
00:23:30,477 --> 00:23:32,077
- It figures.

443
00:23:32,078 --> 00:23:33,746
- For goodness sake, what
kind of a police department

444
00:23:33,747 --> 00:23:35,147
are you running in this town?
No handcuffs?

445
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:36,348
Children with water guns?

446
00:23:36,349 --> 00:23:39,385
- Now see here, you,
whatever your name is--

447
00:23:39,386 --> 00:23:43,088
- My friends call me Horace.

448
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:44,523
- Here you are, Sergeant Mooney.

449
00:23:44,524 --> 00:23:46,091
You can use mine.

450
00:23:46,092 --> 00:23:48,627
- Little boy, haven't you caused
enough trouble for one night?

451
00:23:48,628 --> 00:23:50,596
- Thanks, Dennis.

452
00:23:50,597 --> 00:23:52,464
John, I have to
drive, so I'm going

453
00:23:52,465 --> 00:23:54,933
to handcuff this fella to
you so he won't get away

454
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:56,669
while I'm bringing him in.

455
00:23:56,670 --> 00:23:58,504
- Me?
Why me?

456
00:23:58,505 --> 00:24:00,506
- Now, if the sergeant
needs your help, dear.

457
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:02,408
- I'll do it, Sergeant Mooney.

458
00:24:02,409 --> 00:24:03,709
- Well, for heaven's
sake, come on.

459
00:24:03,710 --> 00:24:05,344
Don't you people realize I
haven't had a wink of sleep

460
00:24:05,345 --> 00:24:06,345
yet?

461
00:24:06,346 --> 00:24:07,880
- All right.

462
00:24:07,881 --> 00:24:10,049
Anything so we can
all get back to bed.

463
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:12,651
- Hey, Sergeant Mooney, I
just thought of something.

464
00:24:12,652 --> 00:24:14,620
- Here, now he won't get away.

465
00:24:14,621 --> 00:24:17,489
- He won't, but neither
will Mr. Wilson.

466
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:20,292
- What are you talking
about, Dennis?

467
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:23,896
- I just remembered, I don't
have a key for the handcuffs.

468
00:24:23,897 --> 00:24:26,231
- Oh, no.

469
00:24:26,232 --> 00:24:28,567
- [LAUGHS

470
00:24:28,568 --> 00:24:30,469
- Amateurs, hmm.

471
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:33,105
I just knew something
like this would happen.

472
00:24:33,106 --> 00:24:35,607
- Not to worry, Mr.
Wilson, I'll stay here

473
00:24:35,608 --> 00:24:38,544
and take care of your house and
mine, too, until you get out

474
00:24:38,545 --> 00:24:41,080
of jail, no matter
how long it takes ya.

475
00:24:41,081 --> 00:24:42,982
- Oh, for crying out loud.
