let's take a last look at the valley to

the point let's not I'll buy a picture

postcard when I get back to the hotel

instead we really should start back to

the hotel Evelyn why

you know it doesn't make any difference

if we stay here another month or forever

why can't we stay a little longer die

it's not fair of you to ask me that you

know I can't stand solitude solitude at

a resort hotel

oh come on Evelyn

[Music]

what is it that upsets you darling I

know it isn't the height how to go back

to town I can't stand these mountains is

that so difficult to understand miss

darling it is considering it was your

choice for our honeymoon I lost my first

wife at a resort on the coast of Maine a

few days after our wedding yes I know

dear you do how someone sent me a copy

of a Portland newspaper shortly after

our engagement was announced you mean a

friend of yours said no it came

anonymously but you'd already told me

that your wife had been drowned so I

didn't let the details disturb me there

was nothing I could do

we're swimming in a wave through against

a rock she sank at once you believe that

don't you yes darling of course I do

it was an inquest the coroner's jury

said it was an accident you don't

believe what her LD said in the paper do

you let's go back to the hotel we can

pack and take the night train if you

like you didn't answer me ever well he

said that I'd killed her do you believe

that no I believe you Gordon

let's not talk about it anymore no now

I've got to know where I stand with you

do you believe it's possible for anyone

to have a sudden overwhelming desire to

kill a person they love I'd rather not

talk about it I told you I didn't

believe what the newspaper said I look

at the other you think I killed her

don't you

you're afraid of me you're afraid I'm

gonna kill you too

what are you gonna do about a chair

nothing I appreciate your coming all the

way up here but it's impossible for me

to take action against Gordon Carson but

why I took the coroner's jury out to the

scene of the accident they're all

mountain people you know and they were

satisfied with Carson story did you find

any indication that a piece of the rock

did break under it feet yes we even

found parts of a Down on the volunteer

mrs. Carson's body I can't bring myself

to believe it Carson killed her

his grief seemed too real sure his grief

looked real when he drowned my sister on

their honeymoon I sympathize with you

mr. Lee but you know it's a coincidence

for a man to lose two wives and

accidents like those but I'm sure they

were accident if I were you mr. Lee I

try to get Carson out of my mind

no good comes of brooding over a thing

like that

I'm not looking for vengeance I believe

he's insane a year ago he killed my

sister this year another bride who's it

gonna be next year Sheriff

[Music]

[Music]

dr. Ordway

you don't remember me dr. Audrey

oh hey yes of course I know you're

Kathleen Marcy I was Kathleen masiha

mrs. Gordon Carson now I was married

yesterday in Reno Wow how nice is it you

know I'm here on a vacation I noticed

that in the paper

people's problems I rather suspect that

you're your own doctor what you said ah

mr. Carson you may call me Kathleen who

did when I knew you in the east you know

California because the Sun is supposed

to be energizing I've been here for

three days now and nobody's moved please

one I'd like you to come to dinner

tonight oh I want you to observe my

husband

what do you think's wrong with it

[Music]

he may be insane have you only

particular reasons for your diagnosis or

is it just a general impression I found

this in the mail we got in from Reno

this morning had Carson told you that

he'd been married twice yes but he

didn't tell me that both women had died

in questionable accidents within a week

of their marriage and a letter also says

that he made two unsuccessful attempts

to take his own life

he didn't tell me that what do you

expect me to do you're a psychiatrist I

want you to tell me if I'm married to a

man

I'm not as hard as I sound I I love God

but I understand

[Applause]

Dolores and Miguel Braga

experience I'll take you over there

later

hey by the way are Duane who's your

patient Kathleen are Gordon I what gave

you the idea I'm here professionally all

there's something in the air I've

vibrate - mystery you know I'm vibrating

right now why well there's a theatrical

quality about this gathering a bride of

one day with already a haunting regret

in her eyes myself an author of wicked

and sinister tales of black souls and

Euler circuit rest' known by the

curiously suggestive title of crime

doctor

oh that's commonplace for Hollywood and

then was the darkly mysterious dancing

Braga's and a servant who isn't a

servant the cast is too good to be

wasted odd way I tell you this drama in

the air wait a minute what do you mean

by a servant who isn't a servant which

one is he take him out for yourself oh

he may be a comedian engaged to insult

some of the guests

no he looks to me like a man with a

mission

dinner is served

where's the party speakers

it's never secretly hoping I'd be seated

next to you

what's that man doing here he's one of

the caterers he's nothing this sword

what do you want from me why don't you

leave me alone you've been hounding me

for years follow me across the country

poisoning the minds of my friends

against me forcing me always to move on

now you sneaking in my own house and try

to break up my marriage well you won't

do it do you hear me you won't yeah why

don't you do away with yourself or if

you haven't the courage for that have

yourself put away in an asylum before

you take more lives who you I'm David

Lee my sister was Carson's first wife

and he murdered her that's a lie

coroner's jury said it was an accident

yes they also said your second wife died

accidentally

but you killed her too never can tell

who you marry these two should not be so

hasty to accuse Doris see if we can help

it the cars

[Music]

[Music]

is you hire Lee my word no sir

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

right through the center of the Florida

we didn't miss this time don't you think

we want to leave everything just as it

is till the police get here yeah take a

look at this well I know Carson's shot

himself but if you don't mind I just

assumed how to handle a gun why not

nobody but authors bother about finger

prints anymore

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

make police headquarters

hello police headquarters this is dr ry

speaking I'm a 33 90 Los Feliz Boulevard

the home of a Gordon Carson got it all

right mr. Carson has just been murdered

[Music]

people do get their heads bashed in

while swimming in rocky inlets and

tourists are always falling off Martin

precipices then in other words David Lee

is insane and Carson wasn't perhaps they

both were out of their minds isn't it

possible that Lee popping up here there

and everywhere could have driven Carson

out of his mind dr. Dwayne wants to see

you and mr. Jerome well time they were

seeing as we discovered the body come on

mr. Massey where's your daughter

well sir she she might have gone home of

course I mean to my home because I know

sometimes things like this give her a

headache yes things like this give me a

headache - mr. Massey yes I know it's

very trying on everybody we called your

home she's not there

well I'm awfully sorry then I have no

idea where she is yours that force

captain just a minute

Fanning Drive mr. Massey home and you

stay there and let me know the second

you hear from your daughter

oh yes yes not be glad to do that Kent

bridge goodbye Jed goodbye doctor I'm

awfully sorry that this happened only

I'd like to see I won't see you again

sir your doctor hardway

that's right there's a mr. Jerome the

novelist apparently Catholic birch

doesn't like writers I don't

well that's Danny do you know where

Kathleen Carson one I thought she was

right here you reported this powder

burns on Carson's face indicating the

gun was close to him the door was locked

the windows barred everything points to

suicide get you reported it as a murder

why it looked like suicide till I picked

up the gun you picked up figure yes but

it wasn't the gun that killed Carson

remember we were in the room a few

minutes after the shot was fired the gun

was cold oh I get it now the motive was

obvious pretty smart of that what are

you talk

about well dr. Otto asked me to handle a

gun he's right it was called a fine

thing playing bean bag with Exhibit A

but of course there was an empty

cartridge in it but that was therefore a

plant if I can be of any assistance to

you you can reach me at my hotel wait a

minute a micro cameraman at headquarters

will tell us if the bullet and Carson's

head came from the gun we found beside

the body Oh killer hadn't counted on

that he figured on a casual

investigation and a murder-suicide thing

like this can't happen on my day off

well I hope you're wrong well don't get

discouraged captain if the killer was

able to leave the gun beside the body

why didn't he shoot him with it probably

because he couldn't get it until after

he killed Carson all right then how to

get out of the room that room was full

of people who'd seen him if he'd left by

the door and the windows are barred

[Music]

good evening mr. levy good evening sir

we have your usual table sir you better

have Hey mr. Jerome is at the same table

every night since the brokers open dear

so mr. Jerome whose usual table make

this way

[Music]

thank you

I'm not something to eat yes fine our

dinner was interrupted by a murder

bring me club sandwich I'll have that's

who bottle of beer it's two bottles beer

bring it there right away yes sir thank

you

[Music]

ladies and gentlemen you're about to see

an act that is without equal in the

entire world is their spectacular dance

just an illusion or is there a deeper

more mysterious explanation judge for

yourselves ladies and gentlemen the

incomparable Miguel and Dolores Prague

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

those people should be dancing in the

bowl the Symphony Orchestra 20,000

spectators instead of dissipating their

talents in this musical delicatessen

tell me Jeff you own a piece of their

act it's like asking a man if he owns a

piece of the Northern Lights

that's what Carson came here for every

night but Cathleen run Kure all of us

come forth

[Music]

where's the girl Ordway

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

thank you ladies without him thank you

I'm sure all of you wonder what mr.

Bhagat did with his partner perhaps you

think it was a trick performed with

mirrors it wasn't they're superstitious

about mirrors the truth is the Braga's

have the power to make themselves

invisible how did you do it our way I

enjoy a mystery far too much to water

explain it you didn't get a chance to

know the braggers at Carson's they'll

stop by the table after they're dressed

we missed you tonight mr. raker a yes I

was detained as mr. Jerome left yet no

he's over there with a friend

well Bob don't tell me you've been in

the clutches of the law and oh just now

not to our way you know right correct

yeah I have a police help me well I felt

a place as Kathleen might have gone

Oh have any luck I hate to bring bad

news yet but captain Burt's wants to see

him immediately

Oh Oh did you mention why I'm afraid I'm

not in his confidence

well Ward way you'll have to entertain

the brackets unless Barbara stick around

look me up if I go out of circulation

you have anything to worry about that

dr. Ward wait could you tell me why

captain birches so anxious to get a hold

of Kathleen does he think she had

anything to do with killing Carson well

when your husband or wife is murdered

it's customary to stick around for a

decent interval you know where Kathleen

is I think it's a good idea to tell her

to go home look lots better than having

the police find her doubt of careful een

would do anything I suggested her where

she wouldn't betray her if I thought

there was any real reason why she should

go under hiding don't stall

I think Kathleen's fallen under a

dangerous influence at least an

unwholesome one she's at the raagas huh

she loved her brother wait let's put

another way he's Braga in love with her

I don't know

plenty of men soon will be caffeine

became a rich woman the moment Carson

died doctor odd way if you talk to

Kathleen I think you could persuade her

to come home wait a minute no I'm

supposed to be on a vacation but you do

that once for wouldn't you alright I'll

try to see what I can do Thanks

good luck

mr. Jerome suggested we conceived

awkward way yes I want you to take me to

Kathleen Carson I do not understand your

tone you are connected with the police

Oh hardly but the police are looking for

Kathleen and if she doesn't turn up

they'll go after her I will explain that

to her oh no no that won't do I I'm a

CEO myself Kathleen will not thank me

for this but I suppose if we do not take

you you will tell the police that's the

idea yes then if you are ready we will

leave thank you

[Music]

goodnight

you will find our home in

ill-conditioned the former owners

neglected it in the work of reparation

or slowly well then you're planning to

live here permanently yes we selected

this old house in the Santa Monica

Mountains because it reminds us of our

former home in the land one likes to be

surrounded with something of the old

we're adjusting our surf the new

conditions here but it is difficult you

know just as yourselves very nicely they

are our methods of transportation are

you from Spain or South America from

Spain I trust our little pants and mule

shoe this evening more than that had

fascinated and baffled me we have been

doing that dance for 300 years

Miguel means our family has been dancing

it for 300 years

we're just about there now it is where

we turn off

[Music]

[Music]

shall we go in

yeah certainly my sister went on the

head to tell Kathleen you were here it

seems incredible to such magnificent

solitude could only be 40 minutes from

Hollywood does it not you will please

wait

come in dr. hardway thank you

candles and lanterns would be preferable

in this final house but if you expect

friends to visit you you must make some

concessions needs tidying up a bit yes I

can't make up my mind what to do with it

come we've got the remodeled part of the

house

please be seated

thank you oh this is a little more

cheerful I don't see what's keeping

Kathleen you will excuse me surely

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

that lien will join us in few moments

she was asleep when we arrived you will

excuse me if I do not take refreshment

with you we are rising early in the

morning to go horseback riding with the

neighbors oh you keep waters but not at

present but some of the neighbors have

been kind enough to play some at our

disposal you do not care for the wine oh

yeah yes I rather wife it's a very old

wine wine of my family already made

you've wanted all the way from Spain it

brought many things from Spain you see

we are not theatrical people but I

thought you'd been entertainers for

years ours are old dances a little trick

that mystified you I learned from my

people we've come from a part of Spain

that is deep in the lore of mysticism

and magic

my people were happens what do you know

of the ancient alchemists of Spain

doctored way but in a way they were the

fathers of modern chemical science chief

objectives were a means of turning base

metals into gold

[Music]

prolonging life indefinitely

and you ever consider the possibility

that some of these medieval scientists

may have achieved success

[Music]

what's behind this nonsense bracket who

are you and what are you really after

take me to Kathleen at once she has

already gone

[Music]

I think you better what once there oh I

know exactly what you have to do yes

afterwards go straight home I mean to

Carson's home remember you do not know

his death is not a suicide understand

yes why did you leave his home I was

confused and I wanted to think so I got

in my car and drove around you must be

careful dear because of the money they

are likely to suspect you I don't want

to frighten you but you better be

prepared

I know come on I'll take you to your car

this way

[Music]

remember I didn't invite North Way here

he forced himself on me not now me well

you won't be afraid to go home by

yourself well I came by myself and we'll

be dangerous if he was seen together now

good night daddy okay

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

dropped by to see how Cathleen is oh I

presume she turned up alright yeah I

caught her between disappearances we had

our talk between disappearances and she

arrived at her father's at five o'clock

this morning she'd just been driving

around how do you mean she she's

disappeared again

oh I phoned her father's someone told me

she was over here and maybe she'll show

up later yeah doctor I understand you

went to see the braggers act last night

yes what do you know about them

oh nothing much except they're supposed

to make themselves invisible everyone on

this case is able to make themselves

invisible there's some pop coffee there

for yourself son thanks I need it I was

up all night chasing the shadows let's

do that I had a splendid night myself

you did where I expected to find this

room all torn to pieces I've been trying

to find a set gun or anything like that

you weren't in your hotel room all night

oh well that's quite obvious in it any

reason why I should have been I suppose

you were driving around with Kathleen no

no but I don't like that look your Ord

wait I haven't been sleeping yes like

you mentioned that to another I mean

I've got a line on you

this isn't your town and I don't want

any of your cute and if ups nip-ups

I don't want you playing detective

murder may be fun for you but it's a lot

of hard work for me captain how did you

happen to go into police work oh I don't

know other lines have their ups and

downs but crime is dependable I tried

that we look for a set gun too

[Music]

registered letter for mr. cosmonauts

Einhorn thank you yeah that's from a

hotel in Reno office of the manager

how's that nice open other people's mail

but somebody's got to open it for him

something the Carson's left in their

honeymoon suite what is it the will

exactly they did the day before

yesterday drawn up by a Reno attorney

mm-hmm Carson left everything to

Kathleen and it looks like Pawlenty good

morning good morning mister yeah I just

want know of Kathleen was here here well

if she isn't I'll just run along no no

no no come on in

come on in shall we wanted to study of

course the study this is Kathleen's

house now I'm sure she'd want you to

make yourselves at home

well I'll charming Albert's are the same

or you got here that he's never been on

a case where everyone was so polite and

so charming yes well caffeine has nice

friends they're nice but impulsive yeah

well I've been looking over at Carson's

morning mail well I should get down to

my office to start looking over mine if

you don't mind that letter contained the

will oh good I'm glad that turned up I

was hoping it would you know about the

way life oh yes course I told you I'd

check those bars the woodwork is

untouched you understood me Woodward

captain birch say you're not by any

chance a cabinet maker are you no are

you oh yeah it's been one of my hobbies

for years you know I've built secret

cabinets into my study I build them so

well I can't even find them myself

extremely interesting but if you recall

we were talking about Carson's will oh

oh oh yes

well you know he promised to make a new

will leaving everything to Kathleen I

see that was part of the marriage

contract then oh yes oh they're not

attractive he's going to put some money

into my business too of course the poor

boy never had a chance

what a pity now your business will have

to struggle along on whatever Kathleen

can spare from the couple of million she

inherits well that's a quaint way of

putting it

I got the enlargements Oh God thank you

a one mark days the bullet removed from

Carson's body B is the one that was

fired from the gun that you found lying

beside the body doctor and you're saying

yes and it's very plain isn't it you

know of course that all small arms have

either rifles or grooved barrels you

know now these grooves although they're

made by automatic cutters no two of them

are exactly the same because sometimes

microscopic particles of Steel get in

between the cutter and the groove you

see and they make little irregularities

that's astounding no isn't it yeah now

if the groove of the barrel leaves these

indentations on the bullet and that

individualizes each gun I call them the

fingerprints of the gun now look here

let me show you excuse me whatever

circle I see in this enlarged

microscopic photograph Joseph this

bullet taken from Carson's body has

entirely different markings from this

one and that proves that Carson couldn't

possibly have been killed by the gun

that was found beside him can you see

oh yes are you following mr. Massey

captain birch oh well very often the

untrained eye doesn't notice such my new

differences I see you've made quite a

study of ballistics too mr. Massey

oh well guns have fascinated me ever

since I was a little boy I've got a very

good collection I'd like to show them to

you sometime yeah fine show them to me

now now what are you doing here I just

came to work sir my hours are from noon

until 8:00 I don't sleep in the wife and

I have little place in Glendale

how long ago worked here only six months

for mr. Carson but I've been in the

house for 17 years 17 you've been in the

house since 1927 then yes sir

you see I'm always sold with the

property sold with the property exactly

I prefer it that way

people are ephemeral but houses are

permanent huh I mean people move or give

up housekeeping or their new wife

dislikes you or they die like arsenic

and then I like familiar surroundings

it's easier for me to adjust myself to

new

faces their new places what do you know

is there a name for such people -

psychiatrist I am definitely a type am I

not doctor roadway oh yes yes we have

you catalogued and swerving loyalty to a

house rather than its occupants indicate

something feline in my nature no doubt

hey there's a trapdoor here under this

rug there a small ring lined with empty

shells door leading into the main part

of the basement if you came with a

foundations you knew about this yes sir

you knew that a murder was committed in

here behind locked door yet you didn't

mention it no sir

why not I considered doing so but on

deliberation I concluded that to mention

it would only be cloud and befuddled you

sir I'm afraid he's right captain yes

the murderer didn't get in or out that

way they're not kidding a skipper no be

quiet will you it's obvious no one could

go down there close this trapdoor and

replace the carpet and yet how did you

know about this oh well that was pretty

simple I I saw the ridges in the road no

I'll fine

well don't leave there for 10 minutes

it's your daughter she's over at your

house we'll go over and have a chat with

her the same time I'll take a look at

that gun flex oh well I don't know

whether I'm banning come on mr. nance

all right all right doctor

Oh captain Burch I don't see how the

killer could have got out of that room

anyway except for the window oh of

course you put a cabinetmaker to work

didn't you say you were on a vacation

that's right will you do me a favor and

get back on it

down help yourself I really need this

after standing off the police department

for three hours what did they want they

want somebody to say I did it it's sweet

have you thought what is worrying about

me

I am worried you are too this pain

brittle and facetious doesn't like you

airplane it's an act it's a way of

telling the world you're not afraid that

you want you're right Bob I am

frightened you know you can trust me

would you like to make a break for it

you know how I've always felt about you

we could go to Rio

you're a crazy lunatic Bob but I love

you for that escape to Rio did you

really think I'd kill Gordon well I know

you didn't love him why the police have

been haunting you made me wonder

I liked Gordon and that is the way I

thought he was and I don't deny that I

wouldn't have married him if he hadn't

been rich unfortunately the police know

there were Tolan servants probably and

fathers difficulties aren't exactly a

secret so you married Carson

Gordon offered to put money into the

business he knew he was throwing it away

but it was a bit for me and a generous

one do you have any idea who killed him

no unless it was that David Lee oh no he

was standing beside me when we tried to

break into the study then why did Bert

arrest him I don't know but I still

think would be a good idea to get right

away from here don't you understand

carefully I'm asking you to marry me I'm

very fond of you Bob but I'm not in love

with you and I may as well tell you now

that when all this is settled I'm going

to marry me well braga but you've only

known such a short time does that mean

anything

perhaps not there's something strange

almost sinister about him part of the

buildup that's all I wonder if it is how

long did you

take the discover you loved each other

Oh weeks ago you married cursed now that

he's dead you're going to marry Braga

Lynette Carson's murder was pretty

convenient for Braga Braga of vaudeville

illusions might know how to get in and

out of a locked room behave Bob strange

what love will do to you a few minutes

ago I was ready to marry you even if you

were a killer now you're ready to marry

Braga even if he's one please Bob don't

even whisper such things you might cause

terrible trouble for all of us all right

darling

[Applause]

something odd about them you know

they've never been seen in daylight who

started that that's a fact

furthermore they were offered a movie

job at twice what they're getting at the

Friars Glen and they turned it down why

you tell me because you got to work

daytime in pictures are you serious oh I

don't think I am I'm beginning to wonder

do you know Braga's sister becomes

invisible in their act now please do me

a favor and don't laugh I thought maybe

you'd understand

I'd only wanted to be laughed at I'd

stay down at headquarters all right cap

go ahead a promise won't laugh again

this afternoon I went up to their place

in the mountains they weren't in so I

wandered around

they didn't sleep there last night are

you sure Oh they'd rumpled up the

bedding and tried to crease the sheets

but you know as well as I do that you

can't fake a thing like that

that doesn't look slept in unless it's

been slept in you never what's the point

of it the point is if bragger can make

himself invisible he could have gone in

and out of Carson study I think that one

over there you may have something there

you better have

[Music]

captain birch please Oh

birch this Dockyard way I'm speaking out

in Carson's study there's something over

here very interesting that you should

see you'll find out when you get here I

see you move the bars I thought you were

wasting your time around I've helped you

know you helped me enough but letting me

in not here I want to show you something

you see the bars are sunken the upper

and the lower sales here but there's

been a force to this lower sill removed

to prevent two of those bars to drop

down you see I see well what's this

metal plate for to hold the bars up

again that's right that metal plate

works on this spring here uh-huh

slides back and forth like that mm-hmm

another yeah contact for the spring is

probably on the outside hey let me show

you here now you just press that spring

in the right place there and this metal

plate slides back you see unless the

bars drop huh well that's pretty neat it

would take a cabinetmaker to install a

job like that yeah that's right

considerable time - yeah well

congratulations

now that you've discovered how the

killer got out of a supposedly sealed

room does that tell you who it is no but

it's just step in that direction

first will be longer a few minutes you

were gonna wait certainly not I only

came along to let you win well they'll

have the place to himself I gotta run

along say wait a minute

I resent these have confidences odd

where you only take me along as far as

you can use me that makes us even

well what have I been holding out the

Braga's how do they work that dance I

knew I'd tell you

you don't think by any chance that brag

is a cabinetmaker why not he wasn't

above feeding me knockout drops last

night oh this is getting better and

better

do you mind telling me why he did it I

want to take Kathleen home to see the

police but apparently she had something

she won't do first and how did she

explain that today well I've had bad

luck reaching here today of course I

could have told birch and let him

question him oh no no don't do that old

man at least not until auntie you've

talked to her now I can get hold of her

come to my place or one o'clock be too

late I'm tied up early and I promised to

have her there all right

some ice but I've been here 20 minutes

[Music]

superstitions of medieval Europe black

magic creatures of the night of all

nights reading were wolves and vampires

[Music]

a case against the braggers what is the

doctor odd way

Jerome wrote this and he's trying to

prove that the braggers are vampires he

claims they made their debut in a royal

performance to Madrid opera in 1650 16th

which makes them almost 300 years old

they have never been seen by day that's

right I never have seen me dwell in the

daytime

[Music]

they sleep an earth filled chess they

have no mirrors in their dressing rooms

vampires abhor mirrors because they cast

no reflections a vampire can make itself

invisible at will it's all absurd I'm

not so sure about that here read this

last paragraph in the typewriter what

defense is there against the scourge of

vampirism the answer is none for the

safety of the community they must be

destroyed the chest they occupy by day

when they are in a cataleptic state must

be opened and stakes driven through

their hearts captain Burke's plays

doctor Ordway calling you don't really

think that Jeff intends to do such a

horrible thing well get hold of it

quickly as possible will you tell him to

meet me at the braggers home that's

right I may have the keys to your car

you take a cab and go home I'll call you

as soon as I can

I'm going with you you've only been

there once and you'll never find it

alone all right come on

[Music]

[Music]

Jeff Jeff Jeff

it's me ugly I found out what he

intended to do I came here to stop him

to go Jeff who but I couldn't

[Music]

[Music]

what's this vampire stuff all about our

way just a publicity stunt it all goes

back to their dance I I saw tonight how

they do it or you did yeah I climbed up

on the catwalk above the ceiling of the

Friars Glen I got a bird's-eye view of

the whole proceedings

[Music]

[Music]

Lucca I let her down again the same way

I had to stay up there while he took his

contraptions down and put them in that

huge trunk again why in a trunk to

maintain the vampire illusion you see if

anyone saw that trunk coming in they

think the braggers were inside of it I

hope this will teach you not to play

around in coffins

you're all cooked up this I didn't he

yes he saw us dance in Cuba he said if

we come to the United States that he

would get us some sensational publicity

then he set us up in his house and told

us not to go out in the daytime and he

was going to place a definite charge

against you as vampires

yes he sees your own realized tonight

that his idea had backfired into an

epidemic of murders why don't worry

where'd you actually sleep in the little

guest cottage that cannot be seen from

this house is it erotic oh now captain

bitch impersonating a vampire should be

some sort of a crime but I don't know

what it is go ahead good night good

night thank you dr. grey good night well

let's see our prisoner is getting along

he's patched up enough to take him back

to town he admits killing Carson beluga

and Jerome dr. Rudd we interrupted him

before he could polish off the

brightness see wrecker I wanted us to

believe that Jerome had gone insane on

the subject of vampires that killed the

Braga's and then himself is that right i

watered Kathleen I killed Carson to get

her she said that she was going to marry

Braga decided to kill him - Jerome

adjust to fall guys someone to pin it on

take him out

charming full of that ring array but I

don't think he'd really have driven

those stakes through the braggers oh he

didn't cut them up or toothpicks don't I

guess you're right yes sir this would

make a wonderful subdivision that castle

over there to be the clubhouse put in

some more trees roads

yes but happier Lots would be

perpendicular well what's wrong with

perpendicular Lots people are buying

them every day in California
