like the same mr. Ballard I'm a mining

engineer oh well

come in enjoy your name certain Lawrence

Sutton

I'm mrs. bog mr. Ballard's housekeeper

have your letters of introduction I'll

find out if mr. Ballard's conceived he's

an invalid you know perhaps you'd like

to glance through these credentials to

make yourself comfortable

sit down thank you come on

I tell you I can't stand it any longer

akward whining you know what we're here

for he said he was dying twice and for

us

I wish he'd get it over with you weren't

my sister I'd like to poke you one right

on the jaw at least you could have a

little respect for Uncle Jim he doesn't

mean anything to me

except you're willing to share in his

estate I've got a hunch that Rita you

and I are gonna get the most of it that

Rita

what's the matter with her I don't like

her and I never did I think she's a

pretty good cousin I got an idea about

that murder I don't want to hear it

[Music]

mr. Ballard will see you now

this way please

come in I see by your credentials you've

had experience in handling radium I was

at the extraction plant in Denver for

over a year John is it true that the

Acme company just sold a gram of radium

for $37,000 that's correct

one of the New York clinics bought it

well that is encouraging oh by the way I

must apologize for shooting at you while

ago but since the murder I I'm a little

suspicious of strangers so it was you oh

that's all right you missed me we've had

unpleasant experience I suppose you know

that my former engineer Parsons is

wanted for murder

I heard about it from the deputy sheriff

then a great personal loss to me not

only was a dog Bob my partner for many

years but he was my closest friend I

understand you will have to work alone

I'm incapacitated can't leave my bed I'd

appreciate it if you do your work as

fast as you can I'd like to know

something of results before I go

I know I can ask your confidence don't

discuss anything with the household

excuse me mr. ballon I didn't know you

were busy

I'll come back later come in John mr.

Sutton

this is John Baum glad to meet you mr.

Bourg your mother showed me up here

oh yeah he's good enough to act as my

nurse John you might show mr. Sutton to

his quarters in the laboratory all right

I'll look over your properties and if

there's anything I don't quite

understand may I come back and discuss

it with you anytime I'll always be glad

to see you thank you sir good luck

mr. Paulson's test looks very favorable

maybe he extracted some of the radium

and stolen how or do you think so

well this goes into the stamp mill yes

but if you'll excuse me I can't go in

there

that's where my father was killed I'm

sorry till I have mingott's David your

horse no thanks I'll do it myself Plato

much obliged for showing me around not

at all

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and I help you

don't shoot lady I give up what are you

doing here I'm going to do some work on

the mind for mr. Bhalla

well I'm reachable at his knees you must

have thought I was very silly drawing a

gun on you who did you think I was

anyway well we're not trusting anybody

around here the last few days so I've

been told

I'd like to get out of here but I don't

want to offend my uncle

well you might cut you out of his will I

don't care very much for that remark

then we're even I didn't enjoy the

Welcome you gave me either

let's start all over again I'm willing

would you think you'd better take your

gun with you I don't think I need it I'm

not afraid anymore in fact I feel a

little better with you around

[Music]

gee I hope nothing else happens

what does that mean I don't know

I think he's just a cheap trick to scare

us away all the excitement seems to

center around Rita she found the note

when she was the only person who saw the

man ride away from the mine

maybe mr. Ballard has some enemy who's

out for revenge oh go tend to your

cattle and leave a melodrama alone

Oh mr. Sutton do we really have anything

in this radium I'm sorry miss flora mr.

Ballard has asked me not to discuss his

business with anyone except himself oh

so you're the cagey type if you want to

put it that way mr. Parsons thought

there was almost a million dollars with

the radium out there he might have been

right and again he might have been wrong

well that makes a pretty nice for one

there but it gets into rather small

figures when it's divided among three

don't forget his leaving some to the

boards how long will it be before we can

market it I don't know if there's

nothing else you want I'll see if mr.

Ballard needs me

[Music]

don't let them upset you I can't help it

good night good night

[Music]

is it that interesting toyou know do you

want to keep it I just wondered why you

wanted it I thought you were only

supposed to work for mr. ballon I am oh

I see

Rita's just a hobby well don't let her

pull the wool over your eyes maybe I

like wool pulled over my eyes

stick them up sheriff got you dead to

rights sleeping on the job

oh no you didn't catch me sleeping son

pretty good

dummy yeah no let's decoy taking any

chances that black rider bumping me off

Oh what are you doing in this cabin

well bunking down here now I thought

should be down to headquarters watching

Bugs Bunny well I did kinda hate to

leave him down there all wrong but

duties duty and I just figured if I was

going to solve this murder ought to be

right here on the job well there's

plenty happening around here all right

got any any new clues for me I got a

couple of things take a look at this

note Jack Parsons didn't write that I

know his handwriting looks like a good

piece of evidence and you can see bit a

handwriting the fella that wrote that to

cook got anything more John Boggs horse

isn't it the staple you can't tell me is

out hurting cattle at night I wouldn't

push that feller he's got a bad eye

what's the chance of sending this

telegram by George I was just thinking

there was time that I send a telegram

I'll get this this off the first thing

in the morning well good night dad good

night son Oh be careful that black rider

bread

[Applause]

[Applause]

hello as the best people say fancy

meeting you here I was looking for

friends he isn't in his room what made

you think you'd be down here

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

uncle's flying at him from the window

[Applause]

[Music]

mr. Murdock wants to question all of us

about last night miss Rita where were

you when the noise the stamp never

started I had been with my uncle and had

returned to my room I was in there alone

when I heard it that's right Diggs I

said to both of you down there at the

mine where were you when it started I

was with mr. Sutton in the laboratory

what were you doing there I couldn't

find my brother in the house and I was

looking for him was she with you Larry

yes

no way you're going to say you was going

what in the second year this is even the

holiday I couldn't get some out there

all the time

miss Fossey me I know but when is she

she died my mother live all right where

was you I was up here with mr. ballon

where was your horse last night there

wasn't me in the stable no left a broken

loosen going down the past year you I

was in my room sewing Shawn appears to

me you're all right fifty woman mrs.

Borg I hope so

I always tried to be well you all got

pretty good alibis and I can't point the

finger of suspicion at any of you right

now

Jim I'm gonna ask you a kind of a

delicate question did you ever figure

that maybe one of your own kin might

have done it John get my wheel out of

that top drawer please

I think it's unnecessary to kill all of

you but there is a clause in my will

providing that should any of my ears die

before I do that particular inheritance

will not be divided among the survivor

is it necessary to humiliate her son

coach Jim I didn't mean it that way my

dear

I wanted to equate everyone with effects

of my will is there any reason why I

should stay longer no we don't meet it's

tables in a few minutes if I mention in

this will I'd like to be cut out of it

right now I don't want anyone around

here to think that I had a to get upset

Joan nobody is accusing you of anything

I know that you wouldn't but I prefer it

that way

well that's all we can do here Jim I'll

be seeing you at the one good themselves

these children can't be an inside job

you're wrong text knowing we've got to

be clearing out of here and go find that

parson feller I thought we had I know

your Kimmi yours all right you go get

him I'm staying here yeah now listen

here son this ain't no time for us to

bust up if you think we'd better stay

here we're staying there's no doubt

about it well we'll stay for a couple of

days but then if we don't catch him I'll

have to go out and find him yourself

no where are you going I'm going out

with Rita for a while now you two be

gallivanting around with her when you

got all this work to do oh I'll be back

for the time you get back from the

village

Fritz down and calling on the karna gone

I nearly forgot that I was counting on

growing up and have another village with

Jim Ballard how you getting along with

him fine yeah we were swapping stories

this morning about old times you know

Larry I had the wrong idea about him

he's all right when you go to understand

mill disconnect those motors I meant to

do it myself this morning but I were

just counting on doing it so long come

that place

sure it's worth it I have to do it how

much longer will it take four or five

days then are you leaving

I say so where you going over the town

over MC my sister and try to land a job

with the black of your minds where are

you going back to Texas and try to sell

my dad an idea that'll probably get me

thrown right out of the house what is it

your last will you know course not for a

long time I've been thinking of getting

a ranch on the island of Maui in there

why an island

yes what's wrong the bed no they go mean

are you going to raise pineapples no

kidding

where'd you get the idea out of a book

of the best stock ranches I ever saw we

can live over there looking for a

partner proposing a business partnership

mighty dangerous you know Larry you've

got to stick more on the job there's too

much killing going on around here too

much shooting the sheriff's mighty Shore

did you see the sheriff no I I talked to

him over the phone when I took what was

left to fetch down I guess he must have

been a little upset over Fritz's murder

well he seemed to get more excited when

I told him that somebody had made away

with the aid of gorgeous body stolen

reckon sword wasn't there when I got

down why didn't you tell me that

yesterday well I figured was anything to

get excited about and one to get shitty

him anyhow

do you have to do that

John you will go on with your work

work we can't make much headway with the

facilities we have what do you recommend

the buildings get rid of the antiquated

machinery and build a modern plant that

cost a lot of money I'm sure you'd be

well repaid for it take you over a year

to do it about a year I won't ask that

alone you'll have to be satisfied with

conditions as they are

hey you don't mind leaving that lamp

while you can't fool me I know you ain't

staying down here just to keep me

Oh mrs. Bohr would have to do is put on

a pair of boots and a heavy coat under

that black cape and she dances the

description

[Music]

mr. Murdoch you ought to be ashamed of

yourself

I am I am i I I know you ain't mixed up

in these crimes

mrs. Borg but the duties of Duty well I

hope you haven't upset the rest of my

belongings oh that's the real old stuff

I shouldn't offer you any after the way

you've acted but will you have a drink

no I never touch it yeah sighs um I'm on

duty

okay looks like money

nice stuff though won't you change your

mind no I don't care for it

yo mrs. Berger I'm just from signing it

you catched me certain things this way I

know you didn't want to do that it

probably was mr. Sutton's idea at times

I wonder if he really is a mining

engineer he seemed so interested in this

household well it wouldn't surprise me

if you found that he's connected with

that Jack Parsons who Larry

well you're plumb crazy well I'm

probably not an easily taken in there

you are mr. Murdoch let me turn your

mission board I'm pretty hard to fool

nobody ever put anything over on me god

I've been working night and day on this

vacation oh yeah oh sure I just well I

just got to keep my screams

you find anything

no you know what she's trying to do what

she's trying to make me think you've

done it why you don't believe it do you

Jack Parsons portion what makes you

think so I used to ride him myself

what is funny I didn't recognize him

last night it was too dog looks bad

Larry

Park is the only feller that could have

been at all and murders I tell you

couldn't have been jack

why not because Jack never would have

tried to kill me I hate to admit it dad

be alive what do you ever give you that

idea

down here with some of his men

thanks Tex but they can't do any more

than we've done I don't know what to do

arrest everybody in it if we use some

strong tactics maybe we can force a

confession oh no I won't get us anyplace

to the mill he may need you go down

there you want me to sign this mister

certain don't you there's nothing in

there that you haven't told me you kill

Jim Ballard thinking you could take his

place so you and your family would have

his fortune you saw to it that no one

would be able to recognize Ballads

button you had either John Allen yet

take it away from the village you did

away with Jack Parsons when he became

suspicious of your schemes you fixed it

up so Parsons would be suspected of

murder tried to frighten away the

Valladares by appearing as a black rider

and putting that note at the gate

failing in that you started to do away

with them and me your family Ling yet

have been in on the whole scheme with

you

you had your son make out he'd been shot

on of Ling nets raises when you attack

flora and whenever you left this room

you had one of them fire from that

window so it would appear to all of us

that you were here you still want me to

sign this sit down and listen to me

give me your gun with one bullet and let

me be along for a few minutes and I'll

sign this leave a note so you can find

Rita I don't want this state of Nevada

to kill me I can attend to that myself

you can't escape paying for what you've

done Rita means everything to you

doesn't she she's far more important

than what happens to me and whether you

ever see her again depends on yourself

you'll tell me where Rita is before

we're through or out Oh

don't threaten me you could kill me but

I'm not afraid of death
