Among those presents

at mrs Brownell's delightful garden party

were miss Dottie Duckandfield and that respected pillar of society,

mr Michael Lanyard alias the Lone wolf retired.

Once the world's most notorious and distinguished jewel thief.

Whilst his man Jamison spent an

electable evening entertaining the local

boy scouts outing with practical jokes

conjuring tricks fireworks... - fireworks?

So that's what you have in that package.

Don't you know that's illegal Jamison?

Oh, yes sir but do we have to be pillars every day of the week sir,

sundays and holidays included

Couldn't we just treat ourselves to a small crime or two

on my days off, sir.

Couldn't we search us for old anxiety, sir, couldn't we?

I haven't forgotten my old days Jamison.

No, haven't you sir, haven't you really? - Oh no, indeed.

Oh, look sir a lovely sight, a very lovely sight

Can we help you?

Way... yes.

Do you mind giving me a lift?

I'm just going a short way down the road. - Not at all.

What about your car? - Oh, I don't know,

I'll phone from the house where I'm going

have the garage man do something about it.

I'm in an awful hurry.

Please can't we go a little faster.

Oh, but sir, we're doing 30 now.

Having trouble, Arthur?

No mr Cooper. The bag was a little full and I had to repack it.

Can't seem to get this in the lock.

There we are, sir.

Arthur.

Now, um... what are your orders?

I'm to take the luggage to the airport, sir, and have it put aboard the plane.

That's right. Then what?

on the way back to town sir I'm to telephone you at about 10 o'clock

and let you know if that certain party

is left for the plane. - that's right Arthur.

Is that all, sir? - Good night Arthur.

Good answer.

Thanks very much. Goodbye. - Not at all, goodbye.

Coming Jamison? - Yes, sir. oh, yes, sir.

Oh it's you, Arthur. - Yes, miss Anderson.

Where's mr Cooper?

I don't think he's quite dressed.

When he plays down that waiting Arthur, and I must be...

Wel, it's about time you got here.

Kids got a bad case of ants always in the stew.

Take it easy Mike.

The bracelet's there now waiting for Cooper in his drawing room.

Well, what a racket. I wish I knew this guy's angle.

I'll tell you so you know what you're up against.

Cooper was the doe back of your pal

Davey Simpson's fancy gambling joints.

He was the devil Nicholas Simpson down a long time ago.

Sure, but a lot of prominent citizens Cooper's society playmates

had big ious outstanding with Davey,

which I owe us an hour mr Cooper's hands.

Cooper's got him good and he knows it,

so when he turns on the heat they come across.

That dirty blackmailer. Davey takes the wrap and he's still operating.

When I get my hands on the wrap... - All right Mike take it easy.

If the stuff's not on Cooper it'll be in the wall safe.

Here's the combination. - Okay, Arty.

If sunnyboy here can just keep his shirt on long enough we'll do all right.

Keep out of sight. And make sure you wait till Cooper's alone.

Jamison what's happened, out with it man.

Just look, sir.

The star sapper excellent qualities are surrounded by diamonds.

A fine halter and a neat job well done if I do say, sir.

You idiot. you petty bird brain.

Did you dare... - I did indeed, sir,

the young lady never even missed it.

Jamison you're fired - No, but you can't stop progress sir,

this is the birth of a new era and fate,

dame fate has us by the hand.

Well, tell her to hang on.

because I have you by the other hand Jamison,

and I'm leading you right back to return this handbag.

before we have all the police New york after us.

Please let me go, Harry, please.

You know i shouldn't have come here tonight. The sheldon's...

But Eve, I didn't know you were here.

Did I have to let you in? He didn't tell me.

You weren't really going to run off without letting me know

you were here were you even

You know, I never could have forgiven that.

Oh, I'm sorry that's the doorbell.

Will you, um... have a cigarette? - No, thanks.

I'll get you drink in a minute.

Sonia? How nice.

Someday someone's gonna cut that throat of yours.

from here to... here.

Careful my sweet.

Remember that slavic temper of yours...

don't let it get the better of you.

I mean it Harry.

That murderous light in your eyes very becoming my dear.

But, of course, you know that.

Stay that way for me, won't you darling?

I adore it.

Miss Merrick.

Welcome in Jane.

You too? - Yes, me too.

Harry, what is this?

Little Eve too.

Well the man is fantastic.

But Harry always had a wonderful sense of humor, you know.

Why did you come here tonight?

No. No doubt for the same pretty reason you came.

My darlings, I propose a toast.

Well, here's to me anyway.

I know what you're going through you believe me and I'm sorry.

Sonia and Jane too.

Truly my heart bleeds for you all.

I'd like to see that.

I'd give anything to see that bleeding heart of yours.

If he has a heart. - Just so it bleeds.

Perhaps you'll be reliEved to hear my pets that I'm leaving town.

really?

that's why I was forced to ask you to come here tonight

as a matter of fact I'm leaving on a sort of honeymoon.

and I thought that each of you girls would be delighted to make a little uh...

contribution to my future happiness.

Eve, I believe you're going to bring me a diamond bracelet

Oh yes, very pretty, it is too very pretty.

Sweet of you Eve.

there's that gleam in your eye again Sonia

i love it.

Sonia I believe you...

did bring that marquee diamond, didn't you?

yes.

beautiful.

thank you.

And Jane. Jane I believe you have a little trick it for me.

Oh, yes i remember. A diamond clip.

and it has emeralds too. exquisite.

I have to admit you have me hooked this time.

because it happens to be a critical point in my career

Oh yes that player into the royal theater.

Doing fine man.

Yes, but if the papers Ever started to talk about what a fool I've been,

the player be ruined and I'd be washed up.

Oh, that would be a pity. - Yes it would.

but next time Harry... next time look out.

Harry...

you must promise me you won't...

you must promise me this is the last time.

you know I feel about you, don't you Harry?

I don't think there better be any next time.

but girls you have my word as a gentleman.

Well, maybe you're right.

You know, you girls never should have

allowed yourselves to become so indebted to me.

because now, what can you do?

nothing. you've got to pay up.

and you'll keep on paying just as long as I feel like squeezing you

you know when you come to think about it

blackmail is a terrible thing, isn't it?

don't go away girls, will you?

hello?

oh, hello my dearest.

Another victim. - swine I could choke him.

no no no no

I'll see you at the airport

Come on, let's get out of here. - I'll take a chance if you will.

No, wait. Sheldon's announcing my engagement at the party tonight.

I've got to be there.

But if harry makes a scandal now, it'll ruin my whole life. - What about me?

being the wife of dr Eric Boudini isn't exactly heaven, but...

if you ever found out I was mixed up in a thing like this

I'll have more to lose than either of you.

But as a hunch if we all refuse to be intimidated,

he wouldn't dare expose the three of us.

oh I know it's valuable,

but it'll be perfectly safe with me. I'll take good care of it.

Of course I do.

You know I do

Lots.

Me too.

I'd do anything.

I'd give anything in the world

not to have to be afraid of him for the rest of my life

I can't stand it this way. - All right then let's face him.

And see what he thinks he can do about it.

Where is he?

Let him take his time now. But when he comes out we'll show him.

Oh! What happened?

Sonia.

team where are you? - please stay where you are.

Well this is ridiculous. Can't somebody do something about it.

don't leave me with it.

Harry, where are you?

Ahh!

Remember what I told you Jamison?

you're to deliver the handbag to the lady in person.

just as though you'd found it

And Jamison, on the way out,

don't snatch it again.

Why, how do you do officer?

That's your car parked in the wrong side of the street

I could use your full confession in my column, right. How about it?

What do you thinks of it?

Does it sound like my kind of job?

Well, frankly no not much you're slipping

It's a little too crude around the edges.

but the police want you and there will

be quite a feather in my little cap if iI turned you in.

Can't you see the headlines?

Sydney Shannon, Broadway columnist, captures Lone wolf.

Well let me be the first to congratulate you.

when he finds out that I'm as innocent, as a newborn lamb

Who cares? If you're innocent, that's tomorrow's news

Meanwhile I have my headline

Look, Sydney...

I'm on the trail of a bigger story than just the murder of Harry Cooper.

How would you like a couple of nice scant side lights

Of, course. I've been many years in this country.

You're not at all well. - I'm not... who, me?

but I feel fine, sir.

You and mr Shannon go to his table. I'll wait here.

You see Jamison you're going to be violently ill,

so ill in fact that you're going to require

the immediate attention of dr Eric Budenny.

But I feel first rate, sir,

once iI get that bottle of champagne inside of me.

Listen. You got me into this mess.

At least you can do is get sick and collapse when I tell you to.

Good evening mr Shannon. I save the table for you.

Right this way, please gentlemen.

thank you.

And uh what will it be, gentlemen?

Uh bottle of Paul Roger 29, make it snap it, will you ?

Well, hurry up, my man, and don't just stand there. - Very, very well, sir.

But Jamison, aren't you too ill for champagne?

Oh, not yet, mr Shannon, not yet.

I'm afraid you are Jamison you're a very sick man.

Uh... - Right now!

Good evening.

I beg your pardon? - Eve Andrews sent me.

shortly after he was murdered.

You knew Harry Cooper, didn't you?

You were there when...

I don't know what you're talking about.

I never heard of Harry Cooper, or Eve Andrews

or you for that matter.

Now, get out! - Mrs Budenny...

why did you kill Harry Cooper?

How dare you cast me like this?

I have the waiter to throw you out.

Oh my dear madam... - Sasha. - Please... throw him out.

I'm terribly sorry. I apologize.

Come on, honey bunch. Let's go places.

Good night mrs Budenny

Glad to see me Mike? - I was glad to see anyone just stand.

Where did you drop from Vivian?

Al the heavens like the little rescuing angel I am. Still love me?

Mh-mm. - Well you should after all, darling,

I just saved your life, didn't I?

Mm-hmm. - And it isn't the first time.

Remember Monte Carlo?- Mm-hmm.

So uh for old time's sake the least you could do is see me home.

Hmm, sorry Vivian. I'm a little busy tonight.

Well, you can see me to my car, anyway.

Just as I thought.

Well, well mr Lanyard. Get in and make yourself at home.

Viper. - sorry Mike

What is it doctor?

Don't worry gentlemen, he's in good hands.

but i I wish to consult the patient and his friend in private.

What's your verdict doctor?

hello Shannon - Hello doc

There's no time to lose. See my friend I'll show what I want to do.

I'm going to cut from here to here! - Ooooh!

Yeah, but I feel better now.

In fact, I think I'm gonna be all right.

A remarkable recovery. - Yes, well you see, I am very remarkable

from a say so you're unique.

Physically you're as sound as a knot,

which reminds me I'm deeply concerned

by the peculiar look in your eye

It is not normal.

I suggest that you place yourself in hands of a competent brain specialist.

What are you up to Shannon?

Building up some phony gossip for the con of yours?

you and your cooked up stories

I'm having a nice quiet dinner with my wife. - with your wife?

Oh ,my doctor. That's a front page scoop on itself.

if you ever have any slight airmen dr Shannon, do come to me.

it will give me a grea pleasure to operate.

oh don't worry doctor

I don't make scandal. I only print gossip.

if you want to take your wife out uh

on the side once n a while,

that's all right with me only don't be so blatant about it

People will talk, you know.

well it's a sense you ain't got the stuff with them

Lanyard we mean business.

we spent weeks on this job

just when Everything's all set we arrive at Cooper's house

and find the guy dead.

if you bump them that's your business

all we want is the jewels.

He probably passed them on to that dame in the night club

Hey maybe slip into somebody at that party.

That's the first place he headed for.

Why don't you use your heads you too?

You saw the detective search me at Cooper's house, didn't you?

I know this guy landed from way back.

He don't pass nothing on to nobody.

He's planted those jewels somewhere in Cooper's house.

If you're going to go around there boys, uh...

be careful the police are there, you know.

Well they don't worry me. I'm gonna take a look.

Not without me you. Don't we're sticking together, Mac.

He don't trust me. - All right Hertzog.

But he stays here. Just in case we don't fight.

Yeah. keep him quiet till we get back.

If he makes a move let your conscience be your guide.

Come on.

aha my pretty one at last I have you in my power.

oh Mike I've been waiting for years for this moment come.

One step near a Vivian, and I'll scream the house down.

Great work if you can get it.

Just imagine, my suite.

Suppose I weren't tied up like this.

Look Mike, let's get this straight.

in spite of you giving us the double cross on the Cooper job, I...

uh still could go for you

Because I think you're just the cutest little fella I ever knew.

but don't get me wrong

I just as soon plug you as not.

Please, untie my darling.

and let's get comfortable

well at least let's have a drink to a time I can remember

when I wasn't all tied up

Sure, why not.

I'll fix one big drink and we'll have a loving cup

but uh mama is going to feed it too baby

I'll get some ice.

Oh wow...

don't go away darling.

Help, help!

Send up the house to get you quick.

Hey, what's the idea?

nothing sweetheart i just sent for the house dick.

You're crazy Mike. Haven't you got any sense

you ought to know better than to call the cops in on a deal.

Well now what are we going to do?

Sorry Vivian but uh...

what will the house dick think if he breaks in here

and finds me all tied up in this chair?

Open up! What's going on in there?

all right Mike

I'll get even. all you remember

it's up to you to talk us out of this

and don't forget I've still got a gun

and I just love to use it

just a minute please

Open the door, I'll break it down.

Okay Mike, but talk fast.

Remember, you've got more to lose than I have

Hey, what goes on?

Oh, funny business, huh?

Hey, but it was a man who yelled for help.

Somebody missed you scared of it...

sorry we troubled you. It was all a mistake.

the lady thought she'd lost some jewels

just because she couldn't remember where she put them.

you know how women are

Just a minute sister. Is that your gun?

Well... where do you suppose that came from?

Is it yours?

You mean this? - Yeah. Look it's loaded

Oh, it isn't mine.

Maybe you'd better... talk it over with a lady.

Open that door! Unlock it!

My name's Jamison, but you can call me Jamie.

What's your name? - My name's Elsie.

well I'm glad you two had ense enough to wait for me here.

Police headquarters please?

Are you sure you're calling the right number, sir?

Um let me talk to inspector Crane's office.

Now, look Mike. A deal is a deal.

and you promised me I'd be getting a...

Is Crane there? Michael Lanyard

Who? Oh, yes mr Lanyard, inspector Crane is right here.

Lanyard!?

it's him chief

Hello, Mike? Where are you?

Have you missed me inspector?

Well, never mind where I am.

I'm on my way out to Cooper's house.

I'm leaving right away.

I expect I'll see you there.

What's the idea?

There are a couple of unscrupulous citizens at Cooper's house

and I want the police to catch up with him.

And while we're there, after the coast is clear

I hope we'll be able to pick up a new lead.

Now, fun's fun Mike, but it's getting late.

and I've got to get my copy in for tomorrow's column.

I'll give you just one more wild goose chase.

Don't worry Sydney, I promise you

some exciting news, and I'm a man of my word.

Oh, a... after you.

Jamison.

While we're at Cooper's house, I want you to put those jewels

back where you from them, understand?

And don't let Shannon see you do it.

Very well, sir.

Did you get him? - Oh Lanyard. Mike landed.

He said he'd be here. - Well he didn't come in this way.

Shhhh! - Shhhh!

Come on.

Shhhh!

Shhhh!

No shoes. - So I hear.

Not be quiet.

Who's that!?

Come on! Come on!

Adam... (?)

... - .... (?)

Well, that gets rid of him for a while.

Now let's have another look around.

look what those two thugs have done to this room.

They were after something Cooper had. - Oh, what for instance?

Jules. Seems that uh Cooper was quite a fella for jewelry.

you mean that, uh... you think that they killed him?

Maybe, maybe not.

Uh, Jamison have a look in that desk, and see what you can find.

Well uh don't mind me boys,

just go right ahead make like I don't exist.

Um... I can't quite figure out what you two are trying

to get away with around here, but uh...

you know Mike I'm beginning to believe

that maybe you didn't commit the murder.

Nobody could be as guilty as he acts.

I've got to hand it to you old boy,

you never miss a thing, do you?

Hello? - Mr Cooper?

You asked me to call you at 10 o'clock, sir.

Uh-huh. - Your plane will leave from gate 3 in an hour, sir

and that party is just left for the airport.

Oh, o! - Say this isn't mr Cooper. Who is it?

So, mr Cooper was planning to leave town tonight with someone.

Whoever it is is already on the way to the airport.

We've got to hurry, gentlemen it's getting late.

mr Cooper's plane leaves at 11 o'clock.

Names, please.

I'm impressed.

I just want a few words with somebody on this plane.

All right mr Shannon, but your friends will have to wait.

I'll get the passenger list Mike legend who's aboard right here

Now that we're alone, Jamison...

Oh, I meant to put those jewels back there, really I did,

but there's diamonds they kind of got the better of me, sir.

They're such pretty things and after that so well it was too late

Shannon never took his eyes off me.

If we're caught

and you're found with those jewels...

Well, we just can't be caught! - yes of course, mr Lanyard.

Oh, lovely, sir, very lovely indeed.

Hang on to yourself, Jamison.

Isn't she just like an angel, sir.

HARRY COOPER MURDERED!

Mysterious Killing of Playboy Baffles Police

Your ticket, miss. Thank you.

Thank you.

Fallow her, Jamison. - With pleasure, sir.

We do meet the loveliest people, don't we, sir?

I'll wait for Shannon. You find out where she goes,

and phone me at the apartment in half an hour.

Don't lose sight of her! - Oh, no, sir.

Oh, never mind about today's news, Mike.

What about my column for tomorrow? That's what's important to me.

Jane Merrick.

Oh. - I've got to hand it to you, Mike.

you're closing in on Harry Cooper's

little circle of feminine attractions pretty well.

But you'd better hurry. It's getting close to my deadline.

I'll have to turn you over the police.

Oh, and where did our little Jamison disappear to, huh?

Jamison is checking up on a very pretty young woman.

Who decided not to get aboard the plane,

when she saw the headlines about, uh...

Cooper's murder.

Wwell, that's interesting.

You found out more than I did.

Well but, uh... after all

if Jamison's mysterious lady friend didn't know anything about the murder

until after she saw the newspapers at the airport

well, then she probably had nothing to do with it.

Oh now, look Mike, now. We've kidded around long enough.

why don't you give yourself up so...

I can go home and get some sleep.

Just when we are beginning to get warm?

Don't you want to know who the young lady is?

She might turn out to be a nice sensational headline for you.

Good old Jamison, right on the dot.

Hello? - Hello, mr Lanyard?

Yes.

Oh, that pretty young thing, sir, just checked in at the hotel Cumberland.

She took a whole suite.

I imagine she must be very lonely, sir.

But I couldn't get by the front desk.

Good work Jamison.

I'll meet you at the service entrance in 10 minutes.

Goodbye.

Well, here we go again, Sydney.

This way Sydney.

I think we can get up the service stairway, without being seen, sir.

The sweet thing is in 3a on the third floor.

Um... don't you ever use a front door, Mike?

Occasionally. Do you? - Um...

socially but uh never professionally, of course.

Oh!

Arthur.

You frighten me.

Hello mr Patricia.

It isn't true about mr Cooper, is it?

This is true.

I was afraid that...

What is it Arthur?

I'm here for that necklace you were going to give it.

But I... what do you mean?

I mean you're going to come across quick.

Or would you rather I told... about your plans for this evening.

Take it easy! - Let me go into him, that's blackmail.

He can't get away with hs!

Uh.

Who are you? what do you want?

I want to know who killed Harry Cooper.

I don't know anything about it. - Who killed Harry Cooper?

I had nothing to do with it. Will you leave me alone?

But you know who killed him, don't you?

Please leave me alone or, i'll call the police.

You hated Cooper didn't you? - I didn't, I didn't.

I'm the only one that couldn't have done it,

don't you see? I couldn't have done it.

plenty of women hated him, but I didn't. - But you know...

Hello? Send the house doctor up to sweet 3a, right away.

You'll be all right. The doctor will be here in just a minute.

Thank you. - I'll see you later.

For those shots, I heard, sir, firecrack

Did you see anybody down that way? - No, sir.

Did you see him?

Oh, I saw somebody tearing down this way,

but if you didn't see him pass,

he must have ducked on the service their way.

Well, apparently mr Cooper's murderer is beginning to get jittery.

whoever fired those shots got the girl in the arm.

And then tried to get me. - Is she hurt badly?

No she'll be all right. - You're sure?

Just a nick in the arm. - She might have been killed.

I'm going to see Eve Andrews.

She's going to quit stalling around,

and come through the whole truth about Cooper.

From her I'll move on to the others.

That's a good idea.

You and Jamison wait for me

in the lobby of the park avenue hotel.

Oh here to Jamison. You keep this.

Just in case mr Shannon gets restless,

and tries to communicate with the police.

Sorry Sydney, but from now on, we're not playing games.

I'm sorry Arthur, miss Andrews isn't here.

Why did you want to see her?

Oh, I guess she and mrs Budenny have gone

to see miss Jane Merrick at the Royal theater.

They're all friends of mr Coopers,

and I've got a hunch they have things to talk about.

Why? What makes you think that?

I'm sorry old man. - Oh, it's all right.

Who's your friend? Harry Cooper's ballot. Why?

Why should Harry Cooper's fella think that miss Andrews and mrs Budenny

Went to the Royal theater to see, uh... Jane Merrick?

Why not. They're all friends ,no doubt, they had things to discuss.

Harry Cooper's murder, for instance? - Say what's all this to you?

Who do you think you are, cross-examining me like this!

Just a man who wants to find out who murdered Harry Cooper.

After al, I should think you'd be a little interested yourself, mr Sheldon.

I think your fiance is mixed up in a very serious business.

If I were you, I wouldn't think that, mr Norton.

Not out loud. You better be sure.

I will be before the evening's over.

And just in case you get a little worried about her yourself

you know where she is.

Taxi, please.

You keep Shannon here.

If Eve Andrews doesn't return in 15 minutes,

follow me to the Royal theater.

I'm going to call on miss Jane Merrick backstage.

I get it.

Hey, Mike! Mike!

Say, what is this?

Lanyard promised me I'd be in, on everything that goes on.

I'm going down to the Royal theater, too.

Oh, taxi! - Not just yet, sir, if you don't mind.

We'll wait here or a few minutes.

Telephone inspector Crane, Police Headquoters.

Tell him the Lone Wolf is bacstage at Royal Theatre.

JANE MERRICK MURDER WILL OUT

What is it? What are you doing here?

Somebody saw us earlier tonight.

You mean... in his house? - Yes.

Come on.

Arthur? - I'm here on business girls, so let's skip the formalities.

What do you want?

Well, let's just say, that I'm here to continue negotiations

where poor mr Cooper left off.

The boss was getting a diamond bracelet

rom you, wasn't he, miss Andrews?

And I'll take that diamond ring from you mrs Budenny...

and that clip that you were going to give mr Cooper miss Merrick.

Make us happy girls, I have no time to argue

so just come across, please.

Suppose the police were to find out

where you girls were this evening?

Drop that gun! out there.

What do you mean by frightening these three beautiful ladies?

Mustn't touch, Mike. - Well inspector you're ahead of schedule.

I didn't expect you to catch up for quite a while.

All right, outside everybody,

line them up against the back wall, Diggins.

I'm going to find out who's who and what's what.

Come on, outside. - Outside, everybody.

Come on.

Just a minute. - Oh, it's Ok, I'm Sidney Shannon.

Oh.

Oh, hello inspector. What goes on?

Oh, hello Sydney, better get your pencil ready.

By the way, inspector, have you met Arthur, mr Cooper's valet?

Face is familiar.

Those were probably his pals,

you and Dickens were chasing at Cooper's house.

Did you catch up with them?

Yes. - Good.

They planned to rob Cooper tonight, and that isn't all.

Arthur was attempting to blackmail these three ladies.

when I interrupted him a few minutes ago, wasn't he ladies...

Yes. Oh, good evening dr Budenny. - Good evening.

oh

Sydney, I promised you some sensational dirt, and here it comes.

Sorry inspector, but I can't get away just yet.

Good evening gentlemen. I've been expecting you.

Inspector, the case against me looks pretty bad, doesn't it?

Obviously it would be bad for anyone who was at Cooper's tonight,

even though Cooper was dead when I got there.

But, did you know that these three ladies were there

when Cooper was killed? - It's a lie!

Sonia!

Sonia? - iI refuse to be questioned like this.

Sonia, denied!

Why should I?

Eve I know you couldn't have had anything to do with a murder,

but you can't stop now.

You must tell us what you were doing at Cooper's house.

Johnny, Cooper was trying to blackmail me.

Blackmail you? How?

Why didn't you tell me about it?

I should have, I know that now, but...

he threatened to go to your father,

and I know if he did we never could have been married.

I was terrified. I hated him, Johnny.

But i didn't kill him. I swear I didn't.

Sonia and Jane were afraid of Cooper too.

They had as much reason to hate him as I did.

Don't drag me into this. I had nothing to do with it. - No me.

Don't try to blame me.

I don't know who killed Cooper.

But when the lights went out we heard the shot.

My little match and you were near Cooper's body.

You could have done it, - Stop her, Sonia.

Don't let her say anything like that.

Why not?

it might as well come out now.

I was there.

I went to bribe Cooper to keep his mouth shut, to protect you from a scandal.

That's a laugh, isn't it?

But just before Cooper was killed tonight,

I made up my mind to stop pretending

that I care anymore about you than you do about me.

I was about to tell him to go ahead and make a scandal.

He was getting no more jewels for me to protect you.

Put that in your collumn mr Shannon and see how he likes it.

Sonia you don't know what you're saying. - Oh, yes, I do.

Gentlemen... I didn't kill Harry Cooper

for the simple reason...

that my husband means absolutely nothing to me.

You're sure you didn't kill him, Jane?

My husband means quite a lot to you, doesn't he?

That's enough Sonia. Leave Jane out of this.

Of course. Jane isn't the type...

she couldn't have done it.

Could she? - Jane.

Tell them you shouldn't do it.

Eric you're being ridiculous.

After all, I have my career to worry about.

Our little romance isn' that important to me.

Don't flatter yourself, I wouldn't commit murder

for you or any man on earth.

I've got to hand it to you, Mike.

The dirt is certainly pouring out now, all right.

we're not interested in your gossip column Shannon.

Gentlemen, gentlemen please.

You're breaking the spell.

Let's let the murderer convict himself... or herself.

Come, come, ladies and gentlemen.

Don't stop now you were doing beautifully.

Why did you interrupt them?

Is that all you had to say, miss Merrick?

Dr Budenny, you had more than sufficient reason

to hate Harry Cooper.

Haven't you anything to say?

Ladies and gentlemen, one of you killed Harry Cooper.

Well my guy... - Sh, inspector.

this strain is beginning to tell.

Give the murderer a chance to do the talking.

Strain yourselves gentlemen, please.

Not now Jamison not now. - But I've come to rescue you, sir.

Jamison you have the most amazing knack

of doing the right thing at the wrong.

Stop him somebody, stop him!

Inspector...

I'm afraid Jamison and I must be leaving.

It's unfortunate that we were interrupted,

just when the murderer was about to give himself away.

You thinkIi killed Harry Cooper, but you're wrong inspector.

The guilty person is within your reach.

And the proof is not far away.

So stay close to your phone inspector...

I'll call you up very soon,

and lay that proof right on the line.

Where'd you get that thing, Jamison? - Iit's just a fake, sir.

I got it out of the prop truck.

It's loaded with blanks. - Oh!

Well here let's jam the trigger

and leave it on the floor to speak for itself.

Break this up, Diggins. - Who? Me?

I get it. I get it. - Come on.

Did you see Lanyard and Jamison?

No, sir. The other guy got away too.

Get back headquarters and wait for Lanyard tellphone call.

Right, sheff.

Well, we got away again, sir, I'm afraid

Cheer up Jamison.

If my hunch doesn't come through, we won't get away.

Oh, come now, sir, we always win out in the end, don't we?

Don't we?

Well, don't we?

I expect we'll have company. You wait here.

And if you see anybody you recognize, male or female let me know

Well, whom do you expect, sir?

Oh, good evening. - Good evening. - How's the patient? - Just fine.

I hope that wound isn't too painful.

Let's see, the unfortunate interruption occurred

just when you were going to tell me about Harry Cooper.

Listen, I don't know who you are, but...

the last time we talked about mr Cooper you know what happened.

You loved Harry Cooper, didn't you?

Will you please go away.

You loved him, didn't you?

Why was he killed?

You're implicated too, you know, so you'd better tell me.

All right, I loved him. Isn't that enough for me to say?

Now, will you, please, go away?

You loved him and that's why he was killed.

Thanks Patricia.

That is all you have o say. - I didn't say that!

Mr Lanyard.

Someone's coming down the corridor, sir.

I won't close the door. Not all the way. Here let's leave it like that.

Hello?

Tell inspector Crane at police headquarters,

that Michael Lanyard is here in sweep 3a

Goodbuy.

Keep that aside, Jamison.

Remember, you're here just in case

Oh, hello Mike. - Oh, it's you, Sydney.

I'm glad you came huh

By the way, how did you know where to find me?

Oh that was simple.

I knew you'd come back here.

But I'm afraid it's not going to be quite so simple

for inspector Crane to figure out.

Oh, well, if it's the inspector you're going to call,

I've already saved you the trouble, Sydney.

He's on his way. - Well, that's fine.

Yes, I believe you know Patricia, don't you, Sydney?

Patricia just gave me some interesting gossip for your column.

She told me that she was in love with Harry Cooper.

Give that to me. Jamison.

Give that to me Jamison.

So Mike, you were going to prove I was wrong, huh?

And I find your man with his gun and Shannon's back

Copping, Dickens. - With pleasure, sir.

And frisk him. - I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon.

Do me a favor Crane, and call out the army,

or whatever it takes to get these two downtown once and for all.

Now, none of your tricks this time, Mike.

Cme on, we're going for a ride.

I've got some very interesting information for you, inspector,

very interesting. - Nothing doing.

All right, you win. - Oh, over the way

have you met this lady?

Here, this card will introduce her.

Mrs Patricia Blake Shannon.

How'd he do Miss Shannon?

Ask mr Shannon what his wife was doing at the airport tonight?

That's ridiculous. Don't listen to him.

the murderer was afraid I'd find out,

that she and Cooper were planning to run away together.

He got panicky and took a shot at her.

Then he tried to get me. - I told you not to listen to him.

Take him downtown, Crain. He's getting delirious.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, both of you.

There's the man who killed Cooper.

That's very interesting, Mike.

But, I happen to know that some valuable jewelry

has been missing since that murder.

That was the motive for this crime.

You find me the man with those jewels, and I'll have the murderer.

The jewels had nothing to do with it.

Very nice story for the tabloids, Mike,

but it won't hold in a court of low.

Come on now, we're going downtown. - Oh, all right Crain.

But if you really think the jewels had anything to do with the crime...

do me one last favor.

Search Shannon.

Al right you won't mind mr Shannon,

just humor our smart friend here. - Not at all.

Go ahead, dig it, go ahead.

Take it easy!

Alright, take it easy Shannn.

?

what Shannon to do? It'd be a lesson to you, Jamison.

Yes, sir. What I don't understand is, how you knew he had them?

Well, I knew the Diggins was about to search you

Besides your hands are slower than they used to be.

You mind if we hurry, sir?

Somebody stole it. I had it just a minute ago.

In fact if you don't mind the exercise i suggest we run a bit.

Jamison, not again.

Haven't we had handbag trouble enough for one evening?

Do you want to start the whole thing over again?

Jamison you're fired. And this time I hope I mean it.

What is it?

Your eyebrows.

Wait a miute! Wait a mimute! Wait!
