Bye.

You did that just like a professional, Mr.

Robson. Yeah, it's the first and last job as far as I'm concerned.

What time's the night maintenance engineer get here?

Green's train is due here in about ten minutes.

Good. By that time, I must be home with this little lot.

You know, this could look as if Green did it, particularly with his record.

So much the better. And take the heat off us.

Yeah, that little lot... Go off about five minutes after Green gets here.

You'll be all right in here.

Running a bit late, aren't we?

I think so.

What's wrong?

I'll be all right in a minute.

Sit down.

No, thanks.

It's just my head.

Let me get your coat down for you.

It often happens when I'm traveling.

Are you quite sure that you're all right now?

Quite sure.

Lucky for me, you were here.

so so

Police!

Police!

You're Joe Green, aren't you? That's right. Well, I'm taking you in, Green.

Taking me in? But I'm the one who's been robbed. My wallet is... We want to ask

you a few questions.

What for?

There's just been a robbery at your place of work.

Robbery with violence.

Come on.

Seen this, Dee?

That fellow Green has tried it again.

Oh, you mean the man who keeps on breaking out of prison?

This is the fifth attempt.

He must be a very determined character.

What's he in prison for, Uncle Peter?

He and his friends robbed a safe.

Are his friends in prison too?

No. They were lucky. They got away.

Five attempted escape.

That calls for some courage.

That would appeal to you.

He claims here that he was innocent.

All criminals say that.

Maybe. But they don't all go to such lengths to try and prove it.

This man's no ordinary jailbreaker.

This drive for freedom, it must add up to something.

Oh, you think he's innocent?

I'd like to find out.

I'd try to get permission to see him, but the authorities wouldn't even

consider it.

Lucky for you, you're the invisible man.

What do you mean, Sally?

Uncle Peter wants to help the poor man, and I know you're going to help too.

I'll get your invisible clothes.

I'm warning you for the last time, Green.

You're doing yourself a lot of harm. I'm an innocent man, Governor.

I've got to get out to prove it. You've tried it five times. Can't you see that

it doesn't work?

Then I'm going to go on trying it until it does.

I don't want to hear all that again. You had a fair trial. I had an alibi.

Just because I'm a man with a criminal record, they think they can hang

anything on me.

But I went straight four years ago, Governor. I'm married now. I've got a

kid. I've been straight ever since.

The jury found you guilty.

Do you think they were all deliberately unfair?

I'm not saying that, Governor.

The full evidence didn't come before the jury. It never came into court.

That's why I've got to find this girl on the train. You can take it from me,

Green. The police did all they could to trace such a person. Nobody can find her

except me. That's why I've got to get out. She can prove that I was on the

train at the time of the robbery.

All right, Brenner. Take him away.

You stay here, Dee.

I'll get this over as soon as I can.

Once I'm inside

Thank

you, right

I know you do favors for some of the fellows. Will you do one for me?

Will you get a letter through to my wife?

Or surrender for me?

I'll see her, all right. Later.

I've heard all that before.

Get in.

Hey, Green!

Heya! Green!

You're not going anywhere, Green.

The boys outside don't want to see you for a long time.

All right, Green.

You asked for it.

Get moving.

Now get out of that.

Joe Green?

That's right.

How do you know my... I'd like a quiet word with you.

Water! Let me out!

You're all right, Green.

I'm going out of my mind. I must be... You're not.

I'm Peter Brady.

Peter Brady?

Oh, the invisible man. Yes.

What's all the noise about?

Get rid of him.

What's going on in there?

I'm all right, Mr. Brenner.

Then stop talking to yourself.

Sit down, Green.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see you.

I want to hear your story.

Don't tell me that somebody thinks I'm telling the truth.

I think you could be, Joe.

Thank you, Mr. Brady.

I'm not promising anything.

I'm working on a hunch. I could be wrong, but I'll take a chance.

You don't know what you're doing for me.

Nobody's ever believed me before.

I read the evidence of your trial.

It certainly makes you look guilty.

It was the night watchman at the works. His evidence convicted me.

He said I got there on time, but in fact my train was late. I never got there at

all that night.

Could you prove that? I could, if I could find that girl from the train.

Why didn't she come forward as a witness?

She'd stolen my wallet. Why should she help me? She'd end up in jail for...

Shh! Somebody coming.

Inside, you two.

Hey, cut that out! But, Mr Brenner, I didn't do nothing.

Come on, let's go.

So they let you out?

I just made it.

Where do we go now?

The place where Joe Green worked.

I'd like a word with that watchman.

And am I left sitting in the car again?

Not this time, Dee. You do the talking.

You go on in and have a look around as others.

If you have any trouble, say out.

I won't be far behind.

Yes, lady?

I wonder if you can help me.

I'm trying to find out all I can about Joe Green.

Was he really here on the night of the robbery?

I gave my evidence at the trial.

He was here, all right.

He says he wasn't.

Who's gonna believe a crook like that?

He couldn't even prove his alibi.

Did you let anyone else in that night?

What did you say?

Did anyone else come in?

Who's asking?

I am. Who sent you? No one.

You're not the police? No, of course not.

Just a minute, lady.

Let me out. You came here to find out something. Why don't you stay and

listen? Leave me alone.

Peter. What's the game? Who sent you?

You've been seeing Joe.

How could I?

Joe's in prison.

Lady, you've already been asking too many questions.

Mr. Robson?

Taylor here.

I told you not to phone me at the office.

There was a girl here just now. She knows something. Someone's been talking.

It must have been Joe.

It could have been the girl on the train.

No, we frightened her off.

No, it must have been Joe.

Well, what are you going to do?

We don't give him a second chance.

Now, look, he knows I was lying in that courtroom for a start.

He knows a lot more than that by now. He could be dangerous.

There's a crook in jail with him now called Sharp.

That's right. He's a bit of a tearaway. Now, he'll do anything if we promise him

enough.

I'll send a message through to him with a packet of cigarettes.

What are you going to say?

You've got to be careful.

I'll tell him to shut Joe's mouth.

Shut it for good.

Keep still for the love of Mike.

It's my kid's birthday.

And now present?

Oh, what's he going to think of Daddy, eh?

I've got to get out of here.

Do that again, mate, and I'll fix you once and for all.

Sharp? Yes, Mr. Brenner.

This is going to be a pleasure.

screws down the other end.

Don't forget, it's got to look like an accident.

Shut the door. Might be wanting nice and quiet.

Come in, Joe.

You talk too much.

Someone outside's been asking questions.

You've been up to this time, Green.

Green, I'm gonna teach you a lesson you're never gonna forget.

On your feet.

Keep moving.

Down the rope, and you're a free man.

But if you can't prove yourself innocent, believe me, I'll put you right

back inside again.

Keep going.

Look out down there.

I'm gonna jump.

Get into this coat.

Drive out of sight.

Then you'll have to put my bandages over your face. It's the only way I can get

you through.

Come on, let's go.

Look out, police.

May I see your license, sir?

Certainly.

Brady. Oh, the invisible man.

Sorry, I should have recognized you.

Go ahead.

Nice work, Joe.

What now?

We've got to find out who it was the night watchman talked to on the phone.

He called on the internal line.

Somebody inside the factory. Number 714.

It couldn't be.

It was.

That's Robson's number, the accountant.

Robson, eh? Where's his office? In the front of the building.

There's a phone in the street opposite. You're going to call Mr. Robson from

there. And when you do, I'll be up in his room right behind him.

Maybe he'll lead us to the girl on the train.

Seen this, Robson?

Green's really out this time.

All right, I can read.

Well, what do we do now?

Well, get picked up this time like he was before. Don't worry.

He won't be able to find Doris. He seems to be able to find a lot of things.

Hello? Joe Green here, Robson.

I've got the evidence that's going to prove my alibi.

And it's going to put you inside.

Hello?

Hello?

Who was that? It's Green.

He says he got the evidence he needed.

Maybe he's got hold of Doris. There's only one way of finding out.

Excuse me, I am so sorry. Quite all right.

I want it.

Not here.

All right, we'll wait.

This is the house.

They must be inside.

Mr Robson, I think.

Leave him to me Joe.

Tie them up Joe.

How did you know I was here?

So you do know me?

No, I never set eyes on you before.

You took my wallet.

I tell you, I was following you.

That's complete nonsense, Inspector.

I never set eyes on this gentleman before.

Have you any objection to our searching your room?

Go ahead.

Why, that's the bag she was carrying.

That's my wallet.

I'm afraid you'll have to come along with me, miss.

Trying to get out the back, sir.

It's not what you want, Inspector.

It's these two.

You've got them.

She's my alibi. Is this correct, Miss?

I took his wallet, all right. Like he said.

Then these two found me. They were going to kill me if I talked. Well, you can

talk now, Miss.

Bring them along, Sergeant.

You're a free man, Joe Green.

And believe me, we're as glad to be rid of you as you are of us.

Best of luck.

Thank you, Governor.

By the way, how did you make that last escape?

That would be telling.
