Ladies and gentlemen, Dick Barton, Special Agent.

Jock and Snowy, we're off to Waco Bay.

The end of the video.

It's been a lovely breeze for a sail, Dr.

Casper.

Good afternoon.

Still hard at work?

How do you do?

It's nice to see you.

Good afternoon.

Goochy, goochy, goochy.

Oh, how very charming.

That is sweet of you.

You know, she is a dear little baby.

Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Good afternoon, Dr.

Casper.

Good afternoon, Mr.

Rasko.

Good afternoon, Mr.

Regan.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

It is a great day for sailing.

Yes, indeed, I've been out since dawn.

Taking a little rest from your research, aye, Doctor?

Exactly.

A little break is necessary sometimes in research work.

And how is the fish business, Mr.

Rosco?

Smelly.

Oh, I hope that my order will not be that way.

You've got my order.

We've got it.

That's fixed.

Good.

My new assistant, Axel Johansson, arrives from Sweden today.

So you will send my order by snub?

Yes.

Hey, here.

This is for Dr.

Casper.

Oh, and this one goes to the old lady at Rosemary Carter.

Well, my little friend, snub,

I've wanted you to study with such grave interest.

I'm studying the methods of one of the world's greatest detectives.

Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, Dick Barton.

Dick...

My boy, you must not let the amazing Mr.

Barton take your mind off your work.

Oh, no, Dr.

Casper, I wouldn't do that.

Oh, no, he wouldn't do that.

There.

And you will bring me my parcel later, yes?

Oh, thank you, Dr.

Casper.

Dick Barton looked at the coin suspiciously, turning to Jock and Snow,

he said...

Is he here yet?

Ah, here, oh, well done, Doctor.

You had no difficulty in getting here.

None, whatever.

I've all swallowed.

I'll shock him off.

That is good, isn't it?

Now, you must understand this clearly.

I am Dr.

Sigmund Kaspar, a Swedish biologist.

I am taking the stone house here in order to pursue my investigations into the

depredations of the Colorado beetle.

Oh, I am highly regarded by the agricultural authorities and the villagers.

The villagers are charmed by my benevolence.

Pardon me.

You are my new assistant, Axel Jønsen.

Also, me, sweetie, you will stay with me at the stone house.

I don't get you.

Ah, but first,

I will show you some of the interesting things about our organization.

Come.

Thank you.

Now, we are under the fish warehouse, these stairs lead up to it, all,

of course, my own design.

So, now you know your way around.

Mr.

Barton will be the death of me.

Please, Mrs.

Horrok, it wouldn't surprise me to hear he'd been bit by snakes, poisoned,

drowned, burned, blown up or shot at.

Stop worrying.

This telegram came from him while you were out.

Now, listen.

We'll soon be on our way.

Let's start.

Firth, let's start it.

Oh, and there was something else.

Yes, listen, Firth.

Then go to the warehouse and load the London consignee.

I don't trust that verse.

What is the matter, Stark?

Plenty Barton's on his way here.

Why, that special agent, Mark?

He's no monk.

He plays rough.

I'm getting out.

How do you know all this?

I've just made a routine check of the new visitors at Rosemary Cottage.

And one of them is Mrs.

Horric Barton's housekeeper.

Oh, Barton's housekeeper?

The other's a hunter girl, a friend of his, and they're expecting Barton today.

Ah, just because that chump's coming,

you act as though we ought to go out of business.

And put the shutters up.

Oh, no.

We will put the shutters up on Mr.

Barton.

Regan, Roscoe.

Yes, Bart?

You will see that Mr.

Barton does not get here.

There are plenty of nice bushes beside the highway.

Good cover for sniping.

The eyes of flame, Dick Barton went forth into the unknown.

Okay, Admiral.

You ought to run the warehouse today.

Roscoe and me's taking the truck.

Casper's orders.

Hello.

Hello, Del.

I've been terribly worried about you.

No use worrying.

I've been with Dr.

Casper now for six months, and I still know nothing about him.

Who is he, Tony?

And what's he doing to you?

To us.

I hate the way he looks at me.

Hate the way...

Hello?

I've finished the copies of your last notes, Dr.

Casper.

All this dull scientific formulae is not very easy.

It's interesting work for a pretty girl.

But to me, it is very interesting.

Steady, the rumble of that car spills, but I'll get a beat on him.

I never miss.

Come on, you sap.

Step on it.

Come now, speak.

It's insatomic.

What's the matter?

Miss Ace, no, you don't know, jock.

You know, Betsy,

I've spent this entire day convincing you that there's nothing whatsoever to

worry about.

Oh, there's this awful dawn times again.

That's bad news, I know.

Hello, Jean.

Hello, Betsy.

You look 20 years younger.

Oh, I look 20 years younger?

I mean, you look 20 years younger than you look 20 years from today.

Oh, Stemmy, hello.

Hello, Snowy.

Hello, Jock.

Oh, what do you think of the place?

Hello, lyrics.

Bit of all right.

So the late Mr Barton eventually arrives.

As a matter of fact, I was almost the late Mr Barton.

When?

On the way here.

Someone sniped at the governor from Ambush.

The governor pretended to be dead.

It was awful.

If I hadn't pretended that killed me,

they'd have gone on shooting until they had.

Take my tip, all of you.

If anybody takes a shot at you, play possum.

Dick, you're not next up in any more trouble.

I knew it.

There is a dark cloud hanging over us.

That's not a dark cloud hanging over us.

The ceiling needs washing.

But who could have shot at you?

Well, boys and girls, in the first place, we're not down here on a holiday.

What?

No holiday?

No holiday.

Then I shan't be able to purchase my bagpipes.

Alla, be praised.

Four days ago,

our old friends at George Cavendish requested the pleasure of my company at the

home office.

It appears that an odd spot of smuggling on a very large scale.

That, of course,

is a matter which the coast guards and the special branch of the yard are quite

capable of handling.

But odd bits of information keep coming in from the British zone in Germany,

leading us to believe that there is something far bigger and far more sinister

behind this operation.

Such as what, Sir George?

Well, that's what I want you to find out, Barton.

Dozens of my best men have been on this.

Three of them failed to return.

We've had to write them off.

The others found only dead ends, blank walls.

What do you want me to do?

Take your friends with you.

Pretend you're on holiday.

Use whatever method you like.

But I'd rely on you to get to the bottom of this business.

And that, my little ones, ends the first lesson.

I'll attend to that.

Come in.

Why, it's only the fish for breakfast.

Thank you.

It's all paid for.

What have you been doing?

Here's something for yourself.

Who?

Dick Barton himself.

Thank you.

Come on, Jim, I'll show you your rooms while Mrs.

Hart gets to supper.

Oh, fine, Jean.

I thought I'd sat on the cat.

And he goes this way, and his car goes that way.

He's in the ceiling.

That's the end of Mr.

B.

Oh, I never miss.

Hurry up, you snare's business on the table.

Okay, here we come.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, dear.

Yes, mine.

Morning, Betsy.

What's good about it?

What, lobsters for breakfast?

The boy brought them instead of errands.

Oh, well, what's the difference?

I like lobsters at any time.

Hey, me too.

Listen to this.

Those born in December must be aware of violent action during the next 24

hours.

Oh, I wouldn't bother about that, Mrs.

Hodder.

Look at this.

A ruby ring.

Well?

Blimey, since when have fish been using perfume?

Oh, since when did lobsters start wearing Nylons?

Fifty shillings appear.

Those things come high, don't they?

I don't know how high they come.

I never wear them.

I'll swap you my perfume for you and Nylons.

They're so thin you could see right through them.

What an ingenious way of smuggling.

Betsy.

Where's the paper these lobsters were wrapped in?

In the kitchen.

I wouldn't touch it with a walk -in stick.

I'll get it, Dick.

We've been booby -trapped too many times in the past to meddle with a thing

like this.

You never can tell what it might be.

Don't touch that, anyone.

I'll send it off later to Sir George Cavendish so the experts can have a look

at it.

Here you are, Dick.

It came from a firm called Roscoe and Regan.

And addressed to Dr.

Kasper.

I think we'll look in on Roscoe and Regan.

This place is rather fun.

It is.

Sit down, Jean.

Make us up at home.

Good morning, Sreed.

What can I do for you?

You can give me Dr.

Casper's parcel.

You sent the wrong one to us, and he's absolutely furious.

Suffering catfish.

Where this parcel should have gone to Rosemary Cottage?

You'd better send the other one up at once.

The doctor's on the warpath.

I've never seen him so upset.

Is somebody worried about a parcel?

Perhaps I can help.

Good morning, Miss...

Reed.

Adele Reed.

I'm so sorry if there's been a mistake.

I noticed the parcel was addressed to Dr.

Casper.

My name's Barton.

Dick Barton.

Come on, Jean.

Thank you.

You don't care if it's the most remarkable thing about Jewish,

you'll never seem to alter.

You think so?

In broad daylight, at 20 yards.

How did you miss?

I don't know.

He goes that way when his car goes that way.

Yeah.

Oh,

we'll be going that way when the boss finds out that Barton's up and breathing.

Oh, well, let's go face the music.

So, this is my area, and that will be yours.

Good, but nobody is covering this area up here.

Oh, yes, I have made arrangements for...

Well, it's...

it's bungled, boss.

What is bungled?

That little bit of sniping he sent us to do.

Two minutes ago,

Dick Barton bounced into the warehouse just like he was a newly made rubber

ball.

You told me the operation was successful.

Oh, that guy ain't human.

I got him in the States as big as a balloon.

Then I gives him the works, and he goes that way.

And the car goes that way.

And you appear to be going this way.

Are you sure it is Barton?

Well, if it ain't,

there's about 12 stone of his ghost walking around the village.

Comics in.

We'll go upstairs.

Of course.

I must get a look at this elusive Mr.

Barton.

He goes that way.

The car goes this way.

Everybody seems to be going this way.

Well, Mr.

Barton, I'd like to meet a friend of mine, Tony.

Oh, well, go to the warehouse at once and clear it of all contraband.

Load it on the lorry and take it away.

What's the panic?

There is no panic.

Merely a difficult situation has arisen,

owing to the incompetence of this swag.

Dick Barton is here.

Barton?

Yeah.

Superman has come to town.

No, go with the underground passage.

It is safer and quicker.

Boys,

if you saw a man go into a pub on one side of the road and come out of a door

on the other, what would you do?

I'd start drinking lemonade.

Perhaps the bloke's a mole.

Hey, I guess there's some queer joints around here.

I think you've got something there, Jock.

I've got something here, too, Governor.

A bit of the Sierra Desert.

What about a little irrigation for it, Jock?

Yeah, you go along to the pub.

I'll follow later.

He's coming now.

I'll tell you.

I've done this trick dozens of times.

He's always come over here.

There he goes.

I bet you drinks for the bunch of us That I can remove this half a crown from

underneath this glass of water without you seeing me do it I ain't interested

say hey heard all about them tricks you learned when you was named you I don't

mind having a bit of this bet cocky you say you'll remove this half a crown

bundle that glass of water without You see me do it It's a bet drinks for the

crowd or one for my partners coming along.

All right,

then it's a bet now watch closely Come closer closer ready ready go You didn't

see me doing no, but you're gonna see me do you Hey, can you take a joke?

Hey, why don't you trade on your pal when he comes in?

Yeah, why not?

illegal 50 -50 and everything I Want the wittest stuff you've got and I want it

in that last big enough for this you're sure to take a bath in jock I've just

done the new trick.

Uh -huh.

I'll bet you four double gins I can remove this half a crown from under this

glass of water without you see me do it But after month I'm telling you I can

remove this half a crown from under this glass of water without you see me do

it for double gins It's a bet what's going to say And you think it can take

that away without missing Go Well, you didn't see me do it, did you?

No, but you're going to see what I'm going to do to you.

Oh, you're big!

Well, I'll see you later, Dick.

I've got a bit of trouble to do, will you?

Watch your step, honey.

I never take my eyes off it, Jean.

Okay.

And they got rid of his two stooges.

Yeah, and when Barton comes in,

Regan and me's got a plan to get rid of him once and for all.

Oh, I might have missed with the gun,

but I ain't going to miss with the poison dart.

Poison dart?

You know, since I've been in England,

I've become quite a champ with them darts.

We'll watch for Barton.

When we see him a -coming, Regan and me will look like we're Bluto.

There will be a play in darts.

And then when Superman Burton gets in the right position,

I get to bullseye with the poisoned one.

But see that you aim better with the dart than you did with the rifle.

Come back, look.

You got your poison, darling William Tell.

Now for the love of Mike, don't miss.

I'm going to do that.

Sorry.

Will prank me at the time.

OK junior.

Your leg is there.

I'll stop.

I shouldn't think you got anything else left We'll look at those two.

Uh, any ginger beer?

Ginger beer?

No.

Thank you.

Well, I can have him in for that mirror on the wall.

I wouldn't have seen that coming.

Say, you mean another guy's got a timber yard with him?

Gentlemen shouldn't indulge in darts when they're in your condition.

I think I'll have to sober you up a little.

Mr.

Barton, I believe...

I am Dr.

Kaspar, Sigmund Kaspar,

and you do not know how it distresses me to see such a scene taking place in

this peaceful little inn.

And you don't know how it would have distressed me to have had this dart in my

head.

Oh, you're the biologist, gentlemen.

I understand you're hot on the track of the Colorado Beetle.

And what are you hot on the track of, Mr.

Barton?

It seems strange,

but so notable an investigator as yourself could find anything of interest here

in this sleepy little village.

The only things of interest to me at the moment are eating, sleeping,

and a little fishy.

And I wish you luck with your catch.

They say Barton always gets his man.

I hope you will also get your fish.

As a matter of fact, I did get some lobsters this morning.

I understand, they were meant for you.

Really?

I'm sorry, I had to dump them in the bay.

But they smelt like, well, as if something was rotten in the state of Denmark.

But then you come from Sweden, don't you, Dr.

Kasper?

Yes, Mr.

Barton.

Good day, Mr.

Barton.

Come on, Governor, let's get out this blooming joint.

We're blokes like that, play jokes on you.

Don't worry, Snowy.

I just played a little joke on them, didn't I, boys?

You know, Governor,

those two blokes showed me a trick that nearly put me in jockeying clink.

Is that so?

Come on, Governor, let's come and catch those dairies into the deep.

Okay, Snowy.

So, you were not going to miss with the poison dart.

All right.

Hello, Jean, for Mr.

Shoving.

Now, to the last point, our deal's been tremendously helpful.

Oh, good.

Tony, just a moment.

Oh, hello, Adele.

I'd like you to meet Miss Jean Hunter and Dr.

Barton.

And Snowy White.

And the seven little dwarfs.

How do you do?

It's a pleasure, I'm sure.

Glad to meet you, old man.

I have a feeling we've met somewhere before.

I don't think so.

I don't get around much.

Or maybe during the war.

I see you were in the Navy.

Yes, I did most of my service abroad.

Mmm.

Honey, I seldom forget a face.

Neither do I.

Especially when the owner of the face owes me money.

Maybe I'm the common type.

Come on, Governor.

These fish won't wait for us much longer.

Aye, my heart is.

Jean, tell Mrs.

Horrell to be late for supper.

Okay, dear.

Can I have your autograph, Mr.

Barton?

Well, goodbye now.

Goodbye, Adele.

Tony, how could you be so rude?

They were only trying to be friendly.

I don't like people who pry.

My past is my own business.

Here I say, Snowy.

Hurry up.

You're slower than a grade at a wedding.

Don't worry, Aggies.

Here I come.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What do you think I am, a blooming mermaid?

What do you see, Gibbon?

They're still fishing, all right.

Drifting down a bit, though, getting too close to our territory.

Yes, this is not good.

Blummy, what's this?

Apply me a giant shrimp.

Watch out for your fingers, Snowy, and put that thing back in the water.

Do you want us running for poaching?

So, it's time for a little action.

Just a moment, Gibbon.

We'll get that lid off.

Oh Okay, I got that well,

I got the lid on We'll probably drop in here for a little nip to warm himself

Well,

this is the only club in the village is open you two water babies can drink

alone I'm going back to the cottage for a change of clothes.

I don't like walking around soaked to the skin I don't think you'll find any

more trouble here.

But if you do ring me,

we'll have one two three Maybe for long we'll be singing up.

Okay, that's a day What are you looking for a cigarette?

It only sneezed me a whale Give us two rums Thank you.

Blimey, if we only had some chips.

I'll signal Gilpin to give one of them the knockout drops.

The what?

The stuff that puts them to sleep.

You and me will look after the other.

At an accident?

No, we've just performed the feat of swimming the channel with our clothes on.

Have these with me.

Thanks for watching!

Sorry about that trick without glass of water and half a crowd.

It was all in fun, Jack.

Have a cigarette.

Thanks.

What's the matter with you guys?

You've been practicing high diving.

No, no, no, no.

If it hadn't have been for the clums of this little snow white here,

it wouldn't have been in this mess.

What do you mean, clumsiness?

We were out fishing.

Here's what happened.

Here's the governor.

Now, the governor told you the tin on the end of a piece of string.

It's me.

I stand up on the boat and I say, governor, I'll give you a hand.

The governor says, Stowie, sit down or shall I upset the boat?

And before you could say, Jackknife, over went the boat.

We're in the water.

We're there.

No, I was over here in the water.

Well, that's a rough idea, will you?

What's the meaning of that?

That's Spanish for goodbye.

Here's down the hatch.

Here's my new hat.

Come on, you sap, dab on it.

Did you hear that, Snowy?

That was the same voice and the same words we hear when those two fellas fired

from ambush at the governor.

I know you two, Blouse.

You took a shot at the governor from the bushes.

What?

Why, you pair of crumbs, I'll look your block up.

Whoa.

Whoa.

What do you think, studios?

Do you want to hurt us?

This little skirt is ravenized into the blood from indle shooting.

Where's Debbie?

Excuse me.

Right here, boss.

Come here.

What is the matter with him?

He drank his own knockout drops.

Don't rank his own knockout drops.

What kind of men are you?

Twice that idiot Roscoe misses Barton.

And now Gilpin drinks his own knockout drops.

You two must take his place for the night.

Son, look at the door.

Hurry, I see.

Yes, sir.

The villagers must have heard the noise.

They don't want to know what has happened.

You must tell them that two obnoxious drunks were here.

And you went to lock the door while you got him out the deckway.

Now, quick, hit those boys downstairs.

Hurry, I'll get them over quickly to rank his own knockout drops.

I wish those boys were home.

Look, jack of hearts, jack of diamonds, jack of clubs.

That's Mr.

Barton, Snowy and Jock.

You turn the next card, I'm scared.

Anything to oblige.

Ace of spades.

That's the death card.

I'm going to do a little meandering to see if I can run into Snowy and Jock.

Why don't you go up to bed?

I'll get you a hot water bottle and a glass of hot milk.

Me go to bed with those two out carousing, not on your life.

But, Dicker.

See you later, Jean.

What if we don't see him later?

What if we don't see any of them later?

Thank you.

What, no service?

Oh, one moment, please.

Behind this door is my private office, which I have recently rented.

Now I'm the entry soldier.

Listen, you, one of you two made an attempt to scrub me out.

I let my two friends Jock and Snowy in here.

Where are they?

Are you going to talk or do I have to make you?

If you are seeking trouble, my friend,

you have come to the right place to find it.

This is a nice little garden party.

When are you going to pass the cake around?

Well, well, well.

What's going on?

If Joe Guilty wants to lose his license, he's going the right way about it.

It's after closing time.

I assure you, Constable,

we'd have been closed long ago if this man hadn't intruded.

One moment, Constable.

I believe that Mr.

Barton has some complaint to make.

What complaint?

He has some strange idea that somebody has done away with some friends of his.

Well, Mr.

Barton?

I'll play my own hand.

You will need some help.

I don't need any help.

Come on now, outside, all of you.

Come on, outside.

I know exactly what happened.

One of them Barton stooges must have switched me own knock -out drops on me.

It's time to stop all this blundering.

Call the men together.

Bring them to the stone house for a special meeting.

I shall expect you in half an hour.

What about the things in these ear cases?

I'm getting a bit nervous about them.

They think perhaps a little trip on the ocean might be the proper procedure for

those two boxes.

You don't mean dump them in the sea, do you?

That is an excellent suggestion.

Axel, we must finish our business tonight.

That Barton fellow may put us on the spot.

But I wouldn't give to put him on the spot, Dr.

Caspar.

Yes, we must finish everything tonight.

Come.

You and Roscoe get out for the back door and bring in that big empty case.

I think I got used to it.

Did you say this case was empty?

Where do I put it?

I'd dump it anywhere.

It's dumped.

The presence of Barton makes no difference to the course of our plans.

It will never be necessary to move a little faster.

Much faster.

So you'll all pay close attention to my orders.

Good night.

March the end of operations here at Echo Bay.

There will be at midnight the used delivery from the yacht.

It will be disposed of as before.

You will all travel by truck.

Firth will drive.

You will all be under Stark's orders.

Or pay them to the letter.

Come on, you mugs, let's get cracking.

It's nearly midnight now.

I want to see you, Stark.

All right.

Now, no mistake, sir.

I want to tell you about...

Mr.

Farkney.

We know something about my business,

which happens to be poking my nose into other people's business.

And there are strange things going on in this village.

I thought so, too.

Now my two friends, Jock and Snowy, have disappeared.

Disappeared?

Yes.

I had a suspicion they might have been Shanghai'd here.

Mr.

Barton, is Tony mixed up in this?

I don't know.

I hope not.

Now I'm going to do some prowling.

This is just like being reading a book, Mr.

Farkney.

You must wait while I look at these papers before you go home.

You may sit down, Miss Reed.

I want to work with you, Dr.

Casper.

I dare say there are a lot of others like me.

who find it difficult to fit into the post -war scheme of things.

Well, during the war, I saw a lot of action.

I wanted things to go on like that when I was demobbed.

That's why I joined your outfit.

You have had plenty of action.

You have been well paid.

What is your complaint?

I heard tonight that you tried twice to kill Barton.

I won't be a party to murder.

Oh, isn't it a little late for you to say that?

You appear to have a very short memory.

Let me refresh it for you.

Six months ago, when you first joined us, you fell foul of spider persons.

Roscoe, Regan, a few others, and yourself had been drinking a little too much.

Spider made a reference to Miss Reed, which you did not like.

You fought.

You got your hands round Barton's throat.

Then Roscoe stunned you with a bottle in an attempt to save poor spider's life.

But it was too late.

When you regained consciousness, Mr.

Firth, you had to face the fact that you were a murderer.

You know me, Firth.

If you fear me on one single point, if you disobey my slightest order,

the peace will be given near a few difficult evidence of the spider affair.

You win, Casper.

I always win.

Reach for the stars, Mr.

Barton.

This is a pleasant surprise, but not for you.

Come along, Mr.

Reed.

I will show you to my car.

Oh, just a minute, Mr.

Reed.

Ah, I wish the garden were here.

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

What are you doing in those boxes?

You'll hear more about that later.

You've done a grand job of work and Zami won't regret it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

We both smell like Billing's gate.

Good fact, boys.

Good fact.

Now, get along, all of you.

I'll see you down at the warehouse.

I trust you are quite comfortable, my friend.

More comfortable than you'll be dancing on the end of a rope.

They hang your sword in this country.

You'll escape Nuremberg over Leutnant Kurt Shuler.

So?

You know my name.

Yes, I never forget a face.

I've seen your picture full face in profile.

And a file with a lot of other rats.

Among Sir George Cavendish's charming little collection.

Whatever devilry you're up to, you won't get away with it this time.

But I will.

Get away with it.

It is a pity.

You will never have the opportunity to share our secret with others.

Bill, behind all this petty smuggling, there is a plan.

A plan which had its best before my master died.

Rats breathe fast.

No interruptions, please.

In remote places, in the heart's mountains,

great scientists have continued with the plan.

The result is this.

Just a few score of these little metal cylinders.

You might say it is a small result for such great labor.

But listen carefully, my friend.

Within these cases are the weapons which will destroy this country, each one.

of these little metal cylinders contains enough deadly bacteria to pollute

millions of gallons of water.

You filthy swine.

I also thought of filthy your kind, Wodrima.

I altered you not to interrupt.

Night, Mr.

Barton.

A number of trained saboteurs will land in Echo Bay, right here.

Each one of them will come ashore and make their way to London.

And each one of them will have one of these little cases.

One of these saboteurs will go here, another there, and so forth.

And they will all release these deadly little allies of ours to do their work

of destruction.

Within 48 hours, this shell will break.

And within a week,

the entire what -the -supply of this country will be polluted.

You won't get away with this, you'll have...

I wonder what's in this horrible -looking thing Mr Barton found in his lobster.

Betsy, dear, please put that back.

You know Dick said we weren't to touch it.

Oh, Betsy.

It's only us.

Where's Dick?

That's what we want to know.

We've been in a weave of the bother.

From which our gala little friend here extricated us.

Dick went out to look for you.

You don't think he's going to cast for Stonehouse, do you?

You know where the Stonehouse is, young man.

Of course I do.

I've often delivered fish there.

You should be in bed.

Oh, I can go to bed, madam, while Dick Barton is missing.

Besides, nobody but the village policeman, old Jupp,

cares about the time I go to bed.

Come on, lead the way to the Stonehouse, tell our team.

Jock, can't I come to you and leave me alone?

Oh, makes me come over quicker every time I think about it.

Just like I'm going to faint.

Don't faint, no.

I haven't time to catch him.

Just imagine, Shuler, did you ever hear such nonsense?

Dick Barton in this house.

He is?

He is what?

In this house.

Son, is he?

Nice.

Yeah.

I see, my dear Mr.

Burton.

My friend, Exeld, thought you were such a warrior.

You were entitled to a nice suit of armor.

Okay, Casper, my time will come.

Correction, Mr.

Barton.

Your time has come.

Yeah.

Allest is bright.

We are sent yet Spanish.

Gains about to set strikes by unseth.

Shh.

Shh.

Well, sugar, our work here is almost done.

I've established contact.

Come.

We must go.

Oh, goodbye, Mr.

Barton.

The last trick is ours.

Don't worry.

I've always got an ace up my sleeve.

Oh, have I?

For your especial benefit, Mr.

Barton,

I have charged this particular cylinder with acid of greater strength to

release the germs within a little while.

I shall leave it here with you.

The pony I had my hands free of.

When the cylinder breaks,

you will have a pleasant little meeting with billions of cholera germs.

Have you ever seen a man who died of cholera, Mr.

Barton?

Oh, by the way, Mr.

Barton,

I understand that you were so unwise as to leave one of these little cylinders

in your cottage with the charming Miss Hunter.

It may be of some comfort for you to know that she will be suffering the same

fate as you.

Goodbye.

Mr.

Barton, special agent.

Mr.

Barton, come here.

Mr.

Barton.

Mr.

Barton.

Mr.

Barton.

Snowy, Snowy, we need to eat these.

And I forget it.

That'll do the trick.

Mr.

Barton.

Hello?

Hello, this is Dick Barton here.

This is Adele.

Well, thank heavens I've got on to you.

Can anyone else hear this phone?

There are extensions all over the house.

Now, listen, Adele, I've got to the bottom of what's going on.

It's the most fearful thing you've ever heard.

The life of the whole country is in peril.

We're dealing with fanatical lunatics.

I want you to go straight to Gene Hunter and tell her to ring Sir George

Cavendish on his private line.

She knows the number.

You must get word to him at once to raid this house and the warehouse.

And Adele, get this carefully.

Naval craft must be censored once to Waco Bay to intercept all craft entering

or leaving.

But Mr.

Barton, I can't.

Tony's mixed up in this and...

Adele, this has gone past all personal things.

I don't matter, you don't matter, birth doesn't matter.

What about you?

Never mind me, just get cracking.

We lock those two birds in here.

Now we come back and find they are gone.

How old did they get out?

Who let them out?

Everything goes.

We must finish our business tonight.

Now, you and Stark, go to the stone house as fast as you can.

Here are the geese.

Get Adele and bring her here.

Cesar's got us here.

I never miss.

We must take her with us on the boat.

She knows far too much.

Drop all her, Doctor.

You know what that means?

She's got out through the window.

What'll Casper say?

Adele's gone.

Gone?

How did she get away?

Sheets, blankets, window.

She's gone.

What do you mean, you idiot?

What you're trying to tell you is, she's escaped.

Scaped?

Then she must be grabbed.

Oh, I ain't good at grabbing Goyle's Dr.

Casper.

What about me and Regan going after her?

She'll make as good a job of it as he did with the poison dart and the rifle.

She is as good as gone.

I suppose she went that way and you went that way.

Now, you've got me going this way.

Now, listen carefully.

The dawn will soon be breaking.

You must grab her in the dark.

Throw something over her to muffle her.

I think you'll find she has gone to Rosemary Cottage.

Rosemary Cottage?

What are we waiting for?

Come on.

It's no use, Betsy.

I can't stand this no longer.

I'm going out to look for Dick.

I'm going out to look for Dick.

That's the governor, Tony.

I know everything he makes.

Come on!

Governor!

Governor!

Governor, Governor!

Snowy, Jock, where are you?

That's nowhere we are, Governor.

That's where you are.

I'm in here.

I can't cross the door.

We got a couple of tommy -oaks.

I found a sledgehammer.

Oh, boy.

Come on.

Now, all together, one, two...

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Who, who, who, who, who, who is it?

I found him.

Wait, you must let me in.

I knew it.

I knew it.

She's been shot at or stabbed or something.

I come from Dick Barton.

Where's Jean?

She went out to look for him.

Can I use the phone?

I won't use anything you like.

It's over there on the windowsill.

Thank God you're sight, Governor.

Did they hurt you, Mr.

Barton?

No, my young hero.

I must fit us a fiddle.

By the way, what are you doing mixed up in this business?

I'm a Barton boy.

Hey, and if he hadn't have gotten us out of them boxes,

they'd make a tipto in the ocean and we'd have been jitter -bugging with the

mermaids now.

You'll be handsomely rewarded, my son.

Don't touch that kid.

It's one of those things you found the lobster, isn't it?

Yes, and it's lingering death in the worst form.

No time to tell you now.

It's time for action.

Get healthful leather back to the cottage and dispose of the other cylinder in

the same way.

They're full of deadly germs.

Deadly germs?

That flame is the only sure way of destroying them.

What then, Governor?

Get straight on to Kevin.

This is in case Adele hasn't succeeded.

Tell him to send us urgent reinforcements and to seal off Echo Bay with naval

craft.

All clear, sir.

Then meet me at the warehouse.

And don't make yourselves conspicuous when you do so.

Don't worry, Governor.

We'll be there when the whips are crackled.

A new total home, young fellow.

You've done a grand job, but it's man's work now.

Oh, but gee, Mr.

Barton.

Those are orders, my lad.

Okay, Chief.

Well, my friend, it's time I was getting back to the yacht.

We meet again soon in Washington, eh?

Yes.

That is the next step in our operation.

Your crew will be with you as soon as we are finished loading the trucks.

Thank you, look.

Auf wiedersehen.

Auf wiedersehen.

I can't get the roomy number, Governor.

I know, Snowy.

The wires are down.

They boldly eye -cut to get that number.

I did.

I got through to Sir George Cavendish.

You got through?

Nice work, Adele.

Where's Jean?

Mr.

Barton.

Something terrible's happened.

I was down by the warehouse and a source of men threw something over Miss

Jean's head.

They rode out to a boat.

They did, eh?

I'll meet you at the warehouse, boys.

I've got to attend to this job first.

Destroy that thing on the mantelpiece.

It's already been destroyed, Governor.

Show me which way the win, kid.

Okay, Governor.

What did I say about the Ace of Spades?

Oh, this is too much.

I don't know how I am going to faint.

She's done it.

She's done it at last.

Jean in a boat.

I imagine it.

But the governor's gone after it.

Well, I'll be toddling along, see what I can do.

Blimey!

It's a nice thing to do.

I'm left holding the baby.

You got the girl here yet?

Aye, she arrived with sack over her head and poked like a tiger.

The wrong girl.

The fools have bungled everything again.

I can't tell you where to find him here.

You're dangerous.

There's a boat the men rode out to way out there on its own.

Another dingy in sight.

Well, I won't let that stop me.

Here it goes.

Hold these, young warrior.

Land these.

Right.

Hold it.

Get it right out of here.

Here, put it up.

But...

Oh, God!

I can't help them!

Oh, God!

God, they've hit you!

I can't help them!

I can't help them!

I can't help them!

Dr.

Kester, I presume.

That's right.

Grunge a swine.

Fuck!

Dick, I could kiss you for this.

At least now.

This job has got to be fast and furious.

Come along, get to work.

Get to work, all of you.

Come on.

Come on.

My dear Dr.

Kester, I'm tying you up like your friend Shuler tied me.

But there won't be any nitric acid.

around to help you.

Can you swim for it Jean?

You bet I can.

You bet I can.

Here we are, Jean.

Sorry to leave you like this, Jean, but I must get back to the warehouse.

Roscoe, you go into the front and see the coast is clear.

Don't be afraid to use this if necessary.

It has a silencer on it.

Good.

Hold it, you rat!

The first man to move won't be able to move again.

And remember, I never miss.

Okay, Shula, reach for the stars.

You've had it.

Come on, get in!

Take care of things, Jotunstoy.

I can't let that swine get away.

Let's go!

The long the wheel won't help.

But I can't drive.

Do the best you can.

Tell me.

Here, little bitches, you're right.

Oh, my dear, you're hurt.

Oh, jock!

Oh, dear, what a mess whatever's happened.

Oh, don't fight.

Oh, nah, we don't fight.

You see, Sir George, all the hospitals were full.

This was the best we could do.

Well, I think it's charming.

Hello, Sir George.

Nice to see you again.

Ah, Martin, nice to see you too.

You had a close call, Tony, but you're no more a murderer than I am.

Mr.

Barton!

You made the same mistake that many other young men make.

That of going out on your first spree with the wrong fellows.

You were snoring your head off when Regan did the killing.

He confessed to it.

No, I remember where I met you, Tony.

It was a Dunkirk.

Well, how are you, Mr.

Snowy?

I'm having a wonderful holiday, Sir George.

It's Jock.

Sounds as if he's in pain.

You know what the doctor said, Jock?

He ordered me to cut out the pipes.

Cut out the pipes?

What an awful operation.

Makes me come over all clean.

Here, if you're going to faint, I'm getting out.

And you can get in.

Come on, get in.

You did a grand job by ensnaring that gang.

I had wonderful assistance, Sir George.

I'm so proud of you.

We've got a lot to thank you for, Dick Barton.

Special Agent.
