You needn't all
look so miserable.

We can't all live forever.

You must be a pretty bad
doctor to let a profitable

patient slip away
at the age of 55.

I should lose neither
patient nor friend,

if you are only
sensible and rest.

You can't fool me Dr.Manetta.

Once my eye is closed tonight,

they'll never open
again on any of you.

That's why I've asked
you all here

to give you my final
instructions.

I've appointed Havelock,
trustee of the estate.

Silva will be the
boy's guardian,

also an executor.

It's all in here, signed
and witnessed yesterday.

Everything except a few small
legacies goes to the boy.

In the event of John's death,
everything goes to his cousin,

June living
somewhere in Canada.

You'll find particulars of
her amongst the family papers.

There are some
legacies for all of you,

though I've probably
been overgenerous,

don't fiddle.

Tell Havelock to see that the
real Selford jewels go into

the vault with me
and not imitations.

If he doesn't fasten all
the seven locks of that tomb,

I'll come out and
haunt the lot of you.

Give me that box.

Open it doctor.

Are the seven keys
there, Dr-Manetta?

Yes.

Havelock will have
full charge of them.

He may be a bit of a
fool but he's trustworthy.

Don't you agree, Dr.Manetta?

Absolutely.

Now please, do me a
favor and drink this.

Where is the boy?

He is with his tutor.

I want to see him as soon as
I've had a final word with you

about the seven keys.

I'm saying good bye, John.

I'm going on a pretty long
journey and it'll be sometime

before we meet again,
but I want no tears,

no fuss, understand?

Chin up and smile, come on.

Good bye, father.

That's right.

Good bye, Silva.

See that he makes a better job
of his life than I have made

of mine.

Now, we'll let
your father sleep,

shall we?

Miss Lansdowne?
Yes?

A man threw this
out of a window.

What do you mean?

I was delivering near the
Northgate Nursing Home

and he threw it out of the
window with a 10-pound note.

It had your name
and address on it,

so I brought it here.

Good day, Miss.

Telegram or flowers, darling.

Neither.

If it's from that
Dego band conductor,

I have nothing
to do with them.

I saw him first.

It's a note from Silva.

Now don't tell
me, let me guess.

Who'd have a name like that?

I know, the
waiter, the dark one.

Beware of the waiter, darling.

You'd never get any
change out of those guys.

Now, you ought to
remember Silva.

He's the one that
sent you back $1,500

for your share on the trip.

You mean that crazy guy
who wrote to you in Quebec?

Listen.

"Dear Miss Lansdowne, on
receipt of this message,

come immediately to the above
address and demand to see me.

They will not dare to refuse
you if you say who you are.

I must tell you that the
secret of the door with seven

locks before I die and I
have little time to spare.

Come without delay.

Yours Louis Silva.

Put the key in a safe
place and on no account bring

it with you."

Do you think we ought
to go to the police?

I don't want to be
mixed up with the police.

My father is Mayor
of Backwood County.

There seems to be something
very unusual about this key.

There's nothing unusual
about a guy sending you

his latch key.

Did he say he wants you to
come up and see his etching?

Give me that towel
will you, please?

Now, here's a man in fear of
his life and you make jokes

about him.

They will not
dare to refuse you,

who can they be?

Say, what is
this, puzzle corner?

Well, I'm going to
find out for myself.

Not without your Aunt Glenda.

Listen, I'm an old etching
viewer myself but I know all

the tricks.

He'll be wearing George
rack pajamas and

the etchings will be,
in the bedroom.

The Lansdowne's girl now
may learn where the key is.

Supposing Silva
talks too much.

I'd be listening in the...

That killer, you're crazy.
Do you want to...

I've had a
terrible experience.

My health has broken down.

I'm losing my strength.

Oh, I'm so glad you were able
to come before it's too late.

I feel if I can only
tell you the truth,

I don't care what happens.

Of whom are you afraid?

I'll tell you
everything presently.

They won't interfere
while you're here.

What have you done
with the key I sent you?

Someone is looking
after it for me.

Well, I hope it's
someone you can trust.

That key is worth a
fortune to certain people.

I kept it in that
old Bible there.

For 10 years Miss Lansdowne,
something has haunted me,

tortured my conscience.

I was forced into
a terrible crime,

something concerning the
door with the seven locks.

The door with the seven locks?

Just guard the key I sent you.

They will try to
get it from you.

That door conceals the crime.

But where are the other keys?

They're with...

Mr. Silva,
Mr. Silva,

Mr. Silva. Help!

Mr. Silva.

Oh my God!

Oh please.

I'm the matron.

What it is you want?

He's dead, Silva in there.

He's been shot.

Silva?

I don't understand.

May I ask how you got in here?

In room number seven,
just now he's been killed,

here.

This room you say?

Yes.

You are quite sure?

Yeah.

The picture, quite
sure and the books.

You must have a remarkable
imagination, Miss...

But I saw him.

Do you realize
what extraordinary

things you're saying.

Who are you?

But it's the truth.

He was lying dead in that bed.

Who was lying dead?

Mr. Silva,
the man I came to see.

You must be dreaming.

Oh no.

You see, I got a letter
from him this morning.

Oh, have you got it with you?

Yes.

Yes, this seems
genuine enough,

that only adds to the mystery.

You see, there are
no patients here.

Unfortunately, this nursing
home has been a failure.

I'm closing it down today.

There's no one
here but myself.

But this is preposterous...

I quite agree.

Look, a man showed
me into this room.

I'm beginning to think
you must be a mental case.

I think in your own interests,
you ought to see a doctor.

I should go to the police.

Scotland Yard.

And when that terrible woman
suggested I was mad I just ran.

What could I do?

Or did I dream that all?

Shall I stick a pin in you?

Supposing the
police don't believe me.

Where do you say
we were going?

Scotland Yard.

Well, let's see.
What do I know about Scotsmen?

Strong and
silent, aren't they?

Now, I like my men weak and
talkative and if they talk

they sometimes say
things they're sorry for.

So I got my diamond.

I hope you'd reconsider your
decision, Martin.

I am sorry sir.

Why don't you give your Aunt's
legacy to the police orphanage

and go back to your office?

You see sir,
I've decided to...

Travel?

Yes, sir.

To improve my ideas.

Oh, a tip, don't lecture and
don't write reminiscences.

Nobody wants to hear
them or read them.

Off you go.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Hey,

wake up you dope.

I was concentrating.

You call me sir, be
respectful to your superior.

Superior, my foot.

I've resigned.

I'm a free man Andy, but
you're just a small time

copper with a large liver.

Oh yes.

You're plain lazy because
you're too fat and you're too

fat because you're plain lazy.
It's a vicious circle.

Well, never mind now
on it won't worry me.

You're going to buy a country
house and be a gent, eh?

Ride to hounds and take
duchesses out to dinner,

what a life for a grown man.

Oh stop it, Andy.

I'm beginning to weaken
already don't make it any worse,

otherwise I'll stay here and
cheat you out of promotion.

I can see the whole picture.

A fool and his money, a blonde
and her mother and another poor

sap ends up broke,
beaten and bewildered.

No Andy.

No woman is going to
ruin my life until

I'm too old to resist.

Women are like tiger cats.

They ought to be caged
at 16 and shot at 20.

Come in.

Young lady to see you sir.

She says it's urgent.

Tell her the last property
owner is over the river.

She says its murder sir.

Somebody has poisoned her cat.

Bring her in.

Oh well, before the old trump
starts telling her boring

story, I'll vamoose.

Goodbye Andy.

Remember me at Christmas.

Miss June, sir.

Inspector Sneed?

Yes.

No, no he is.

I was told to ask
for Inspector Sneed.

I'm Inspector Sneed.

What can I do for you ladies?

Look, I've just seen how...

I've had a
terrible experience.

A man has been murdered.

Where?

By whom?

Mr. Martin, I'll take
charge of this matter.

Sure, but I'll help.

Now ladies, tell
me all about it.

Well, about half an hour ago
I went to a hospital here.

Were you expecting the
note from this man Silva,

the one with a key?

No.

It was a complete surprise.

I thought it was from a band
conductor who's trying to get

off with me the way
they all do but...

Do you mind leaving
this matter to us?

Sorry, I was only
trying to help.

Get me Morris.
Yes.

You're quite sure he was shot?

He must have been.

I saw him clutch at his chest
when the bullet struck him.

There was no report?

No.

Well, I heard a
sort of a dull plop.

Silencer.

I want you to
come up right away.

Tell a squad car to standby.

I'm glad I didn't go in.

I just hate to see a
man wasted like that.

There aren't enough
to go around as it is.

Sorry.

Go to the Northgate Nursing
Home Earl's Court right away.

Make a complete search.

It looks like a murder job
and you'd better be armed.

Inspector, if you're not
wanting Miss Lansdowne right

now I'll go to the flat
and inspect that key.

You'll go, but you resigned?

Yes, I know but I'd
like to help unofficially.

You see, I resigned my job
this morning but we needn't

worry about that.

Now will you accept my services
as advisor and friend?

Well I'm...

I might be useful,
it's entirely free.

Consider yourself
engaged, with thanks.

Andy, from now on I'm
Miss Lansdowne's guide,

philosopher and friend.

To see that she
gets a square deal

from the
double-crossing police.

I may need a
little advice too.

My mother didn't
tell me a thing.

Yeah, bless you.
That's what they told me.

For Pete's sake,
let's have some light.

That's better.

Gosh, these London fogs
give you the heebie-jeebies,

don't they?

Shhh... Londoners
love their fog.

Say, that roommate of
yours, what's his name?

Andy Sneed.

He doesn't seem to
like women much does he?

Was his mother ever
frightened by one?

Glenda likes them
to fall easily.

A burglar, in there.

Is that a burglar?

Let me go.

Let me go.
Help.

Let me go.
Help, help.

Let me go.
Quiet.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Burglar, burglar.

Let me go.

Help, help.
Let me go. Quiet.

Help.

Listen.

What is it now?

Are you hurt?

The key.

The hall porter
has it, I hope.

It was the key that mattered.

Why didn't you get it?

Now, try to be brave my child.

All right, do your worst.

One man has already been
killed for this and there may

be more on the agenda.

Now, there.

Glenda, have you
got the brandy?

Yes.

I feel better for that.

Well, you will
survive, I'm afraid.

Well, thanks for
the good news.

Have you got those
letters Silva sent you?

Oh I just remember.

I showed the second
letter to that matron,

she never gave it back to me.

But I've got the first one,

in the bedroom.

Hello?

I'll keep the key meanwhile.

There's your brandy.

Good, that's one thing
that's not going to hurt me.

Yes, it's for you.

Hello?

Hello, Andy.

Listen, the solicitor who
looks after the Selford estate

is Edward Havelock,
Waterloo Place, W1.

Perhaps your girlfriend
would like to ask him a few

questions, and let
me have the answers.

Yeah. I'll go and find
out the answers myself.

Good health.

That burglar was
the messiest guy.

It's gone.

The letter?

I hid it this morning.

It's certainly a conspiracy to
wipe out all traces of Silva's

existence.

I'm afraid this adventure
may land you in

considerable danger.

When I was 15, I spun a coin.

Tails, home girl,
cooking and knitting.

Heads, adventure.

Heads won.

And so Mr. Havelock, I
suggested Miss Lansdowne

should come and see you.

Miss Lansdowne, I've been
trying to get in touch with

you for years.

But you see, my parents
died when I was very young.

I was brought up by
French-Canadians in Quebec.

I never knew I was connected
with the Selford family.

The last of the line is
the present Lord Selford.

He was 11 when
his father died.

I tried to become a father to
him when my own son

died some years ago.

I hope that John Selford
would take his place but...

Oh he's the most elusive
young man in the world,

he never spends more than a few
days together in one place.

At present, I believe
he's in Buenos Aires.

I look after his
latest communication.

Bring me the Selford
file for November.

I suppose the Selford's
have got a family place here.

Yes.

Selford Manor, a quiet old place
in the heart of the country.

The house is left now to an
old friend of the late.

Lord Selford lived, should
you wish to visit it,

I'm sure that he would
give you every assistance.

Does this mean
anything to you?

Yes.

Looks like one of the seven
keys of the Selford tomb.

Cross, bring the Selford keys.

Keys sir?

I haven't handled
those twice in 10 years.

Yes, yes Grayson will
show you, now hurry up.

When Lord Selford died,

he was buried in the tomb
with seven locks.

I hold all the keys.

Where did you get this?

The man Silva gave it to me.

Can't be a
genuine Selford key.

After what you've heard
about Silva's murder,

can you think of anyone
who would want it so badly?

A genuine or not.

No.

It baffles me.

You sure it's the right one?

Can't you read?

Not by day, I went
to a night school.

I heard it over
the radio last week.

But in the mean time

I'll do everything I can for
you Miss Lansdowne.

Everybody seems
to be helping me.

The box is empty sir.

What?

Look sir.

Who's responsible for them?

Well they were in the
care of my chief clerk,

Foster who
retired two years ago.

When he left, he handed
them over to Grayson here.

Did you check everything?

Well...

Or did you take Foster's word?

Yes Mr. Havelock, you
see we were very rushed.

Now the estate will hold
you personally responsible.

This is a very serious matter I
shall report it to the police.

Was Foster trustworthy?

Well absolutely.

He came on the most
excellent recommendations.

You say you held all the keys.

Yes seven, I thought
they were in that box.

This is a terrible
matter, Mr. Martin.

I, I have betrayed my trust.

Do you think Foster
could have taken them?

I don't, why should he?

Yes. Well, it depends
on his moral character.

Excuse me.

Was there anything
of value in the tomb?

The Selford jewels.

What's that rumbling noise?

Have we got a flat tire?

No, it's only Glenda snoring.

So you better have
a look at that map.

Well, it says turn left
beyond the three feathers.

Then straight on, and then
turn to the right

and that should lead us
straight to Selford Manor.

Oh we're on the
right road anyway.

There's something
in the middle there.

Well, what do we do now?

Better try this one.

Righto.

I feel a little sleepy.

Do you mind if I
just go ahead.

That was close.

Oh, it was hot.

I wonder who
thought that one up.

Have I missed something?

Welcome to the ancestral home.

But no red carpet, no flowers.

Yeah.

What do they think we are?

You're late.

I was getting
worried about you.

Yeah.
We took the wrong turning.

Miss Baker, this
is Mr. Havelock,

the lawyer and trustee
of the Selford Estate.

I'm delighted to
meet you, Miss Baker.

I hope you didn't mind
my crashing the party.

I thought these two
might need company.

Isn't this a lovely
old place, Glenda.

Now what do you like best?

The fire.

Now I am in love with that.

Our host will appreciate
your love of flowers,

Miss Lansdowne.

Ah, here he is.

Doctor Dr.Manetta, let me
introduce Miss Lansdowne,

Miss Baker and Mr. Martin.

Welcome my friends.

This is a great day for me.

I cannot remember
when last I entertained.

I live here
almost like a hermit.

Well, I hope our cook has
not forgotten

how to prepare a good dinner.

She has been so
long without practice.

Cawler...

Yes sir?

Take the bags upstairs.

The house keeper will tell
you where everything goes.

Miss Lansdowne has been
admiring your azaleas.

So you like flowers?

Adore them but
don't all women?

A beautiful women and
beautiful flowers

have much in common.

Their purpose is to brighten
an otherwise dreary world.

Well, as soon as you have
seen your rooms and changed,

I will have
cocktails ready for you.

Well, if you're fixing
them in the surgery doc,

make mine an arsenic straight.

You are an American, huh?

No.

I'm from Ontario.

June is from Quebec.

French-Canadian?

Sort of, by adoption.
I was in Canada once.

There was a revolution in
my country and my sympathies

being anti-rebel, I repaired
to a country where they would

not worry about my politics.

I'll take those.

Just stick around.

I want a private talk
with you presently.

I am more perturbed than ever.

Dinner will be
ready in half an hour,

my cook is a
stickler for punctuality.

Tell me my man...

Excuse me, please.

Craig, I am afraid is dumb.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

No thanks.

Craig was the unfortunate
victim of rebel atrocities.

He lost his tongue.

Is that so?

What did you say?

What was it you
wanted to talk me about?

I've been down to the
tomb, and as far as I can tell

nothing has been disturbed.

But at any rate everything
is still locked and.

Dr.Manetta says that he's sure
that nobody has been near it

in ages, but I'm very uneasy.

Which room did you say?

Do you think he was listening?

I don't know.

But you see, Foster the clerk,
who had charge of the keys

was recommended by
Dr.Manetta.

My main recreation, well,
music upon what I would do

with my spare
time if I had any.

My patients are poor
but numerous

but they are quite unique.

They always pay
their accounts promptly.

Dr.Manetta has a great
reputation which extends far

beyond the county borders.

It's lucky that his
patients are honest,

because he never
send them any bills.

No, no, there you
are wrong my friend.

Even a country
doctor must live.

Money means nothing to me but
it seems to be an obsession

with my trades' people.

If I can manage a meal a day
and two pairs of stockings,

that's all I ask.

Just as long as she's got a
few fur coats on the side.

Like myself you
are a simple soul,

I'm quite sure we
are the happiest.

Dr.Manetta has quite a number of
visitors who are not patients.

They come to see
his weird collection.

What do you collect doctor?

Instruments of torture.

Is Mr. Havelock joking?
Oh no, no, no.

I think I ought to explain
that my interest is purely

antiquarian, although perhaps
I have a slight

personal interest.

Oh, what is that?

I am Spanish by decent.

My family claim as
one of their ancestors,

the famous or perhaps
I should say the infamous

Tomas de Torquemada.

Now what do I know about him?

Wasn't he the Grand Inquisitor?
Correct.

He reduced
torture to a fine art.

Barbarism.

It served its purpose.

You're surely not
attempting to justify its use?

Why not?

Be careful
Martin, it's a trap.

He's only arguing for
the sake of argument.

Nevertheless, I'd like to
hear the case for torture.

It is based on the principle
that only the guilty had

anything to confess.

Yes, but that's
basically unsound.

There is such a thing you
know as a false confession.

True, you have discovered
the fall in the argument.

Frequently, the innocent
confess to sins of which they

were not guilty, while
many a true heretics suffered

martyrdom in silence.

Well I'm glad we're living
in a more enlightened age.

I wonder if we are.

Tomorrow you must visit
my little collection.

It is a queer collection,
both ancient and modern.

Does it include
a dentist drill?

Shall we take
coffee in the hall?

Why doesn't your client
ever come home to

this lovely place?

I'm afraid I can't
answer that question,

except by suggesting that he
is a crazy young man with more

money than sense.

Tombs and torture chambers,
don't they have any simple

pastimes in this place?

Maybe we can get the doctor
to stage us

a little public execution.

Oh this is so peaceful.

I could stay here
for a hundred years,

couldn't you June?

Oh so that's the
way it is huh?

Well the storm is
over and the moon is up.

Oh bravo, you must be a genius
to conjure music out of that

old crock.

Well if the moon is up, what
about looking at the tomb?

I couldn't think of a
more romantic idea.

I understood that you all
wish to visit the tomb.

Not me.

If I go calling on corpses,

I generally pick a
sunny day for it.

Oh please forgive me but
I just remembered that

I have to visit a patient.

So I shall not be able to
accompany you to the tomb.

Havelock will
show you the way,

I'm overdue already.

I shall be waiting to join you
in a game of baccarat

when you return.

Excuse me.

Oh eh Bepo.

I don't like any
of this business.

I wish I was out of it.

Well, they've arrived.

We saw them.

What do you want us for?

The girl went to see Havelock.

He discovered he had
lost the Selford keys.

Mr. Martin was interested.

What about it?

What does he know anyway?

Oh nothing very much but
he's an inquisitive young man.

He may prove a nuisance to us.

What do we got to worry about?

He can't do anything
about Silva until

he has a body to prove it.

And he can't open the
tomb without the keys.

Anyway, the girl isn't a
beneficiary as long as young

John is alive.

Just the same for
your own safety.

You must get back the key.

There's another
matter to discuss.

Our share also is overdue.

Oh don't you worry about
that, you'll get the money.

Meanwhile we have
six keys between us.

And the girl has the seventh.

And the girl has the seventh.

But we must be
gentle with her,

she plays she
plays Chopin divinely,

eh Bepo.

You've been there before,
haven't you Mr. Havelock?

Yes, I was there
this afternoon.

You sure you won't come
to the tomb Miss Baker?

No thanks.

If want any jitters, I'll
get them out of a bottle.

I believe your old family buried
themselves in grand style.

Yes, when the
death duties allow.

Could I please have
a gin and jitter...

I mean a gin, oh
I'm terribly sorry.

Is it far?

No, to the left of the mill
house where the doctor keeps

his torture gadgets.

He's a queer chap Dr.Manetta.

I think he's rather jolly.

Yes, so was
Briggs the poisoner.

Here we are,
cheerful place isn't it?

Hello.

It's open.

That's strange.

I'm sure it was closed when
I was here this afternoon.

Self-locking?

Turn your torch down
here a moment will you?

- Where?
- Here.

Tire marks.

Has any large car or van
been around here recently?

Well, I think it
is very improbable.

Cawler, the one could
have come to the cottage.

I'm going back to the house.

Come on let's go inside.

I don't
understand those marks.

Something queer
is going on here.

Well, I can think of nicer
ways to spend the evening.

Some nightclubs
are not much better.

There have been
people here recently.

A woman among them.

But the gate is
always kept locked.

We found it opened.

True, and I
can't explain that.

Where's this door
with the seven locks?

Down here at the end.

Now there's one thing certain
this door hasn't been open for

several years.

Lend me your stick a
moment, Mr. Havelock.

Was not Selford afraid,
someone might wake him up?

I have explained to you that
he had the family jewels

put in there with him.

Don't ask me why, his will
dictates that they're to be

given to John's bride
on her wedding day.

If the keys
hadn't been stolen,

how many would we have had?

Seven, with Miss Lansdowne's.

Well, with your permission,
I'd like to try this one.

Certainly you can do.

If your family heirlooms have
been stolen then it's a matter

for the police.

Ah that's the one.

It's a spring lock.

Well, even if they haven't,
I've no right to probe in

there and as perspective
heiress Miss Lansdowne,

what are your wishes?

Silva knew something about that
tomb that caused his death.

I'd hate to disturb the family
ghosts but I should like

to know what it was.

I think it would be wise to
dump your responsibilities on

the public pristine.

It's not too
late to do it now?

From what I've seen and
heard, I actually advise it.

Oh, it's locked?

How did that happen?

Perhaps it's the wind.

No, it couldn't
possibly have been that.

I told you it is self-locking

or only the lock's
the other side.

Well, try again.

It's no good.

It's locked alright.

Here's the key.

Well, if we're going
to stay here all night,

I need a toothbrush.

You're not scared, are you?

Frankly, I am.

I feel sure that some
malignant forces are working

against us.

A shot, wasn't it?

I bet it was.

I love
frolicking in morgues.

What are you doing?

A man went through the
trees, into the bushes.

I wonder where
his bullet went.

I think it'll tell us who
killed Silva and a lot of

other things we want to know.

Struck over here, I heard it.

Look.

Bepo,
you're Bepo.

You know, you're
Dr.Manetta's little monkey,

come on and fetch
that key, oh come along.

Come here Bepo.

Come along.

Come along,
there's a good monkey,

come along.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's the fellow.

Bepo, Bepo, Bepo, Bepo.
I've looked all around sir.

But he was on my shoulder
until he jumped

into the bushes?

Well, don't stand and
gape, go and find him.

Bepo, Bepo.

Well sweetie, I think
we owe you quite a lot.

Mr. Martin, murder
has been attempted.

What do you propose to do
about it as a police officer?

I am a private citizen Mr.
Havelock and as such I prefer

to do precisely nothing.
What?

The key is stolen and murder
attempted and you propose to

do nothing at all?

Only for tonight,
tomorrow I may do quite a lot.

But we may never see tomorrow.

No Mr. Havelock, don't
spoil my lovely evening.

Bepo.

Bepo, Bepo, Bepo.

Is he the deaf and dumb one?

No, no, no, he is
just my little monkey.

A lonely man's only friend.

But he is somewhere, he was on
my shoulder and then he jumped

into the bushes.

Glenda, we got
locked into the tomb.

A mere accident.

We lost the key and your
little monkey found it for us.

Yes, he's very clever.

But he has his stupid moments.

Yeah. Someday when my patients
either desert me or die,

I am thinking of opening
my little collection

to the public.

After what
happened last night,

I can't help feeling that
our presence here is far

from welcome.

Havelock seems to think that
Dr.Manetta is in some scheme

to rob the tomb.

For the jewels?

Yes.

But you know, I'm
beginning to believe,

that there's more in this
business than just a mere

theft of a few
family heirlooms.

Do you suspect Dr.Manetta?

On fact, no.

On his looks, why not?

Well, here we are.

Will you get a load of this.

Now, that is a collection
of poisoned drinking cups.

This one belonged
to Lucrezia Borgia.

You will have to
take my word for it.

Come here.

Those leg shackles
are 18th century.

And what's that?

This was called
the Vagrant's mask.

It was fitted over
the victim's head.

This part was pressed
against the eye

and it was screwed up tightly.

I leave the rest to
your imagination.

Sweet little
collection, isn't it?

Yes.

I think I'm going to
stick to cigarette pictures.

What's the stage show for?

A page of history.

Not Magna Carta?

No. It is the
Inquisition in session.

It is reconstructed from
an incident in which my own

family took part,
not as the victims.

I also have a choice
collection of branding irons.

Yes. We could do with some
of those at the yard.

Some people are most
reluctant to talk.

For that, I recommend this.

The iron maiden of Toledo,

a great favorite of
Ferdinand of Castile,

she was the
Queen of terrors in 1484,

an original preserved
for over 400 years.

She looks quite charming.

Yes.

I always distrust
charming women on principle.

Oh, you are so right.

Let me show you something.

Would you like to play
the part of the victim?

All right, yeah.

The iron maiden was no
angel, I assure you.

And if the victim hadn't
confessed by the time the

knives descended, he
kept his secret for good.

And there will
be no collection.

That'd be a swell thing for
making backward guys propose.

They showed great imagination.

Don't you agree?

I smell coffee.

Glenda, aren't you
going to join us?

No, the Doctor is
showing me [indistinct]

Craig looks like as
he's been in the wars.

What do you mean?

Did you see the new
bandage on his wrist?

No.

I've seen something
odd in that place.

Odd, I could think
of a better word.

No, no, I mean something
that's struck me particularly

as being odd.

Did I ever tell about that
picture in Silva's room,

in the nursing home?

No.

I didn't realize at that
time what it represented.

But now I know what it was?

It was the picture of a
Spanish priest in Inquisitor

and I've just seen it in that
old mill or an exact copy.

Well, that's funny because
it certainly wasn't in the

nursing home when
Sneed searched the place.

Dr.Manetta, must've been
connected with that

nursing home?

And it was he that recommended
the clerk Foster to Havelock.

Do you think it's possible that
Dr.Manetta murdered the heir?

It's an idea.

And Craig's bandage, did you
mean it was he you shot at?

It could have been but
who's going to tell us,

he can't?

Hello, telegram, who for?

Martin, all
right, yes I'm ready.

Yeah.

Right, I'll read
it back to you.

Can you come here today?

Discuss cases, friend
have some news for you,

regards Andy,
received 11:15 AM,

that's right, thank you.

Havelock's coming
to town with me.

I'll be back in the morning.

You know, I hate leaving you.

No, we'll be all right.

This isn't the
Victorian age, you know.

No, you get me wrong.

I mean, I don't
like leaving you.

Oh, You'll be
back in the morning.

Yes, and when I do come back,

I may have something
to tell you.

Can't you tell me now?

No, time and
place is all wrong.

It can't be very important.

Well, yes it is.

It's the most
important thing of all.

Are you ready Martin?

Yes, coming.

You'll take care of
yourself, won't you?

I told you, I love adventure.

Yes, I'm beginning to
wish cooking had won,

when you tossed that coin.

Those letters of
John Selford's,

can I see them?

Yes, I'll drop off at my
office and bring them over.

I hope you're right
about Dr.Manetta.

I'm sure, I am.

If Dr.Manetta's in this he
won't dare come out into the

open, so we need not
worry about Miss

Lansdowne or her friend.

June's all right, she
can take care of herself.

Well?

Dr.Manetta, and the Cody's
are in some racket together.

They bumped Silva and
disposed of the body.

In a plain van.

In a what?

I was just coming to that, a
woman who lives opposite the

nursing home notices a plain
van outside the place on the

night the
Lansdowne girl was there.

Why the devil didn't
you tell me that before?

You didn't ask me.

Listen Andy, I was down at the
Selford vault last night and

in the mud outside, there were
tire marks of a large car,

a van probably.

The van your Mrs
what's it saw.

Andy, the solution of Silva's
disappearance is in that tomb.

Probably.

Now listen, June and
Havelock were with me.

Somebody locked us in
that tomb and

started a shooting match.

I found the slug,
I've got it here.

Let's see.

I should say that it had
been fired through a 38 auto.

I'll get the
expert to check out.

Come in.

Mr. Havelock sir.

You've been very quick.

Yes, I don't
want to waste time.

This affair is
getting on my nerves.

This is Inspector Sneed.

How'd you do?

You'll have to excuse him.

He's never conscious
till after launch.

I have brought the
Selford letters,

but just a few of
the more recent ones.

Well, that's fine.

You're certain the letters
were from John Selford?

Positive, though I've not
seen him for some time.

I know his handwriting.

When did you last see him?

About four years ago.

He hasn't been home since?

No, not to my knowledge.

But doesn't that strike
you as being a bit odd?

Yes, but then I know
his idiosyncrasies.

I-D-I-O-S-Y-N-C-R-A-C-I-E-S.

Yes, Mr. Havelock?

You must realize Martin that I
have no right to prevent a man

of 21 from seeing the
world on his own money.

Besides as I've told you
his health isn't at all good.

He needs sunshine.

What's wrong with him?

Paralysis of the right hand.

P-A-R-A...

I know, I know,
so he's left handed?

Completely.

Have you come to
any conclusions?

We have certain theories.

I hope you'll get the
matter straightened out.

It's most worrying.

If there's any way
that I can help you, I...

Well, if you will let
us do the worrying.

In the meantime, will you
look after this key for me?

Well I'd much rather not
have the responsibility.

I wish you would, sir.

Inspector Sneed and I are
returning to Selford in the

morning and I think it
will be safe in your keeping.

Are you expecting trouble?

Why you will never know.

Well, I shall be at my
office if you want me.

Good morning, inspector.

He's worn out. He's been
awake all the morning.

What's the matter with you,
concentrating again?

Selford's left-handed,
that ought to help.

What about these letters?

I'll have them sent down
to the handwriting expert.

I'll take them
down there myself.

I suppose he is
still at Dolphin street.

Yes, D-O-L-F-I-N.

The writer of this was a
young man of 30 to 35.

Anything else?

Yes.

The paper was
manufactured in England,

but a lot of it
finds its way abroad.

One thing more.

Which hand were
they written with?

The right.

The right.

Listen Andy, I'm
onto something big,

those letters were written
with a right hand and John.

Selford's right
hand is paralyzed.

You have to miss
your beauty sleep,

you're coming down to
Selford with me tonight.

Good night's sleep?

I should say not,
I've been working hard.

Look.

Miles too big,
it'll never fit Harry.

I've changed my mind.

I'm making it
for somebody else.

Who?

Cornelius, you know, that nice
detective friend of Dick's.

For Pete's sake,
what's happening?

Look, look Bepo has got it.

Hey monk, come down here.

Oh look at him now.

Bepo, come down here at once.

Bepo, come down here.

Come on now Bepo,
come to Auntie.

Be careful.

Talk about the bull
in the China shop,

Bepo, come down Bepo.

Bepo, come down here at once.

If he doesn't stop soon
there won't be a jumper

for Cornelius.

Oh look at him now.

Hey Monk, come down here.

Or perhaps he doesn't
understand English,

be careful.

Look.

I've seen it before.

No, not this one.

Well, then let's
get this straight,

you had a key.

I gave it to Dick.

So what?

This maybe one of those
stolen from Havelock.

You mean the
doctor pinched them?

Well, he may know who did.

Why should he be
mixed up in it?

For half a million pound of
the Selford jewels maybe.

I'm going to telephone Dick.

There's a phone.

No, not from here.

I'm suspicious
of everybody now.

But Dick said he'd be
back in the morning.

I want to tell him right away.

I'm going to phone
from the village.

I guess I'll make him a
pair of socks instead.

Well, what did she find?

Salt.

What's up?

Bepo unearthed
one of the keys.

The girl has it.

Craig saw it in her hand.

You must get it back,
where is she?

I saw her going
towards the road.

It looks as if she
was off to the village.

Let us too, we don't
want any trouble here.

You must get the car
out and follow her.

She mustn't reach the village.

Take her to the
Cody's you understand?

My job's writing,
not kidnapping.

I advise you not to argue.

It frays my nerves.

Bring her in here.

She had a knock on the head.

I'll attend to her.

The girl is here.

Give me drink, will you?

The matron.

I'd rest if I were you.

My head.

I'll get you a sedative.

Why am I here?

You had an accident.

You've been unfortunate again.

Wait.

How is she, all right?

Yeah, she feel's thirsty,
so do you evidently.

I'm going to get
her a sedative.

Did you get the key?

Yes.

Well, let's have it.

I got to get it back.
The governor will be waiting.

He's not getting it.

But why not?

What's the idea?

Come on hand it over.

Take it easy.

Dr.Manetta owes us
money, is that right Bevan?

Yes.

Our share is overdue.

We should've had
it three weeks ago.

We'll hold this and the
girl till he comes across.

You can't do it.

The girl will be reported
missing and the cops'll cover

this place like an epidemic.

That is up to Dr.Manetta.

If he moves fast, he
can save us all a lot of

unpleasantness.

Call him up.

Kidnapping, blackmail.

What's going to happen next?

Tell him to come over.

With the money.

Hello, is that you Doctor?

Yes, this is
Dr.Manetta speaking.

How is the patient?

Patient?

Don't you understand Doctor?

This is Cody, Dr.Manetta,
we've got the key but we're

keeping it till we
get to our split.

I will come and see
the patient at once.

One of my patients
is very, very ill.

I'm afraid I shall
have to leave you.

Oh, just as we were beginning
to get acquainted too.

That is one of the
drawbacks of my profession.

Excuse me please.

It's my guess that John
Selford has been murdered or

he is being held captive
by Dr - Manetta and company.

Someone, probably Cody is
cashing the checks abroad.

Dr.Manetta is managing the
forging business from this end

and sending the
letters to Cody,

so that he can post
them to Havelock,

...See.

I heard you.

Well, we'll see what
the tomb uncovers.

Well, how'd you like it?

Well, not crazy about it.

What, are you nervous?

I'll let you know if I
want you to hold my hand.

Plenty of them.

Yes, there's quite a few
generations boxed up here.

Say, this one
looks interesting.

Give me a hand, Andy.

Finger marks, this thing has
been tampered with recently.

Here, hold the torch, Andy.

Huh, they did the
job in a hurry.

Screws are loose.

The torch, Andy.

Silva.

Yes.

From the
descriptions June gave me.

Fits the one we've
got at the yard too.

Andy, we've got enough evidence
to pin this on Dr.Manetta.

I doubt it.
Where's your motive?

Silva had to be silenced.

He sent for June to tell her
what happened to John Selford

but he was shot
before he could speak,

there's your motive.

Right.

Better question Dr.Manetta.

No, Andy.

I want you to hold your hand.

There's still a lot in this
business we know nothing about.

Is that the door?

Yes.

That's where the
real mystery lies.

Come on let's go.

I'll be glad too.

This place will
keep me awake tonight.

Hello, Glenda.

Where's everybody?

Thanks heavens
you're here at last.

I'm scared stiff.

Well, don't worry, here's
Cornelius, to comfort you.

Where's June?

She went out to phone you.

She found another one of those
keys and she didn't want a

phone from here so she
went to the village.

Is Dr.Manetta in?

No, he went out awhile back
to visit one of his patients.

That dumb servant is gone too.

Gee, am I glad to see you two.

Does Dr.Manetta know
that June's got that key?

I don't know.

There's your girlfriend.

Don't get vulgar and
take your hat off.

Hello, who?

Oh Mr. Havelock.

Yes, Martin here.

Well look here Martin.

I'm at my office and a letter
arrived this morning

from Lord Selford.

What?
Another one?

In the same handwriting?

Yeah, and he's on his
way to Selford Manor.

He's back in England?

He'll be there at
about eight o'clock.

Its 20 minutes.

Uh-huh, and I'm coming
down in the morning.

But.

Hello?

Oh, nothing.

Goodbye.

Did he say
Selford was turning up.

Yes, about eight o'clock.

Love after all, huh?

Yeah, so it seems, gosh,
I feel like a man who's been

walking in one direction and,
and suddenly finds himself

going in the other.

Ever experienced it?

Walking?

Not me.

And I got everything you said.

Forged letters,
business of Cody abroad,

changing of the
checks, everything,

and now Selford has got to
turn up and explain it all.

There's one thing you will
never be able to explain.

And what's that?

The murder of Silva,
that's one for Dr.Manetta.

Yeah, well that's busted now
because there's no motive.

Can't we wrong?

Can't be.

Well, while you're arguing on
the finer points of justice,

how about June?

I'm going to wait until
Selford arrives and if he

hasn't turned up by then, I'll
go down to the village and

look for her.

Is she awake?
No.

She must have
had a heavy blow.

Concussion probably.

What's the game?
That will scare me.

Dr.Manetta?

Well go on, let him in.

I am sorry to have kept you
waiting but when I received

your pressing invitation
my car was not available,

well, I hope you have
decided to adopt to a more

reasonable attitude?

Where's the money?

My dear Cody did you imagine
I'd carry a sum like that in

loose cash?

When do we get it?

Shall we say tomorrow?

All right, but no later.

That's better.

I knew you would be
sensible about it Ann.

Cawler, open that window, it
is like an oven in here and

now may I trouble
you for the key?

Oh no, tomorrow, in
return for the money.

I must have it at once.

What's the hurry?

We are opening
the tomb tonight.

You'll what?

And I shall also require
the other two keys

in your possession.

We had the right to be consulted
of any change of plan.

There's no time, the
police know too much already.

Unless we move quickly,

they will ferret out
the whole story.

You're bluffing.

The police won't find out
the truth unless they open the

tomb and they'll need
dynamite to do that.

No Dr.Manetta,
we'll keep the keys.

Really Anne and you're being
as stupid as your husband.

Get out.

Do you want to wake the girl?

You refuse to
give up the keys?

Until we are paid?
Yes, then we'll return yours.

We're not parting with ours,
they're too good a security.

You're both being very unwise.

No, stop.

You'll never get away
with this, Dr.Manetta.

Pull yourself
together you fool.

Get the keys.

I'll have yours too.
Take the blasted thing.

I'm through with the
whole rotten business anyway.

I'm getting out.

That is where
you are mistaken.

Drive to the vaults.

Craig knows what to
do when you get there.

I'll follow in Cody's car.

What about the girl?

I'll look after her.

Good evening.

May I introduce
myself, I'm John Selford.

Doctor Dr.Manetta
is expecting me.

Oh, yes, of course.

My name is Martin.

I'm a friend of the Doctor's.

How do you do?

I'm afraid the doctor
is not expecting

you here this evening.

But I wrote to
Havelock, my solicitor.

Oh yes, I know.

Unfortunately the doctor was
out when Mr. Havelock called

and I took the message myself.

Then he'll be very surprised
when he sees me here.

It's many years
since I have been home.

Yes, I wonder you spent so
much of your time abroad

when you got such a
lovely place as this?

I'm afraid I have to,
doctor's orders you know.

Oh Glenda, this
is Lord Selford.

Hi there.

Hi and how do you do?

This is my friend
Cornelius Sneed.

How do you do?

I travel a lot.

You see, I'm debarred from
most of the social activities

of the country.

My arm makes things
a little difficult.

Yes, you must find
it a great handicap.

Oh one gets used to it.

We spend quite a time admiring
your beautiful possessions.

Yes, they must
have cost a packet.

Some very fine
pieces of porcelain.

That... that vase for instance.

Well my father was a very
ardent collector but that I

imagine belongs to Dr.Manetta.

I don't ever
remember seeing it before.

Exquisite piece, don't
you think so Cornelius?

Yes, Chinese I
should think.

Yes probably about Ming.

No much earlier than that.

No, no, no Ming.

Now look at the markings.

Yeah there's no proof, it
was the design that matters.

Design my foot.

What do you say Lord Selford?

Well I haven't seen it yet.

Oh no of course not.

Here catch.

What the devil does this mean?

Well caught Lord Selford.

Why?

If he's Lord Selford,
I'm Mary Queen of Scots.

Good work Martin.

Take these things off.

Not until you explain how that
paralyzed arm of yours came to

life so suddenly.

The first time I
meet a real lord,

he turns out to be a phony.

Don't you give me the
horse laugh you ape?

Hello, yeah hello,

give me the nearest
police station.

Dick how about June?

As soon as the police arrive,

I'm going to
organize a search.

Do you think that...

I don't want to think.

Hi, stop.

I say, please stop.

Hi, please stop.

Thank you, I want to go to
Selford Manor but I'm not

quite sure which way.

I'm very grateful to you,
I lost my way.

I said I lost my way.

But fortunately I found you.

Where's Dr.Manetta?

Where's Miss...

well, if my eyes don't deceive
me that's a 38 auto

remember Andy?

Boy oh boy, now
we're getting somewhere.

Sit down.

Sleeping peacefully.

Look what I found Tom Cawler.

You know him?

Sure, he's one of the best
pen men in the business.

Forger, eh.

Yes.

There's the answer to
your Selford letters.

Where's Miss Lansdowne?

Get off Andy
I'll make him talk.

Hey, none of your
backroom methods.

All right, I'll
tell you everything.

It will help me, won't it?

It depends on
what you got to say.

Dr.Manetta has got the girl.
She was at Cody's.

I took her there.

Where's that?

About two miles away but
they'd have left by now.

Answer it Glenda,
that will be the police.

Go on, I'll keep an eye
on the one armed wonder.

Where was Dr.Manetta going?

To the tomb, that's where
you'll find him inspector,

at the tomb.

The tomb.

Go ahead Dr.Manetta,
I got you covered.

Look out.

Don't shoot.

Self-defense.

Havelock?

The lawyer.

That's one for the book.

So he was in it too.

I wonder what he
came here for.

To get this out of the tomb.

I think this is going to
tell us all we want to know.

Looks like a
death certificate.

It is.

Who's?

Young John Selford's.

Andy, he died when he
was 11 years of age.

Its 10 years ago.

So this is the secret of the
door with the seven locks.

So you were right.

And all that time Havelock and
co were milking the estate and

sending that young stooge
abroad to collect the money.

Incidentally, I wonder
who he is.

If you give me
the light a moment.

Look the names are
all here Havelock,

Cody's, Silva, Cawler,
it's made out by Dr.Manetta.

That's funny.

I wonder why they all
signed this certificate.

That's what Dr.Manetta
is going to tell us.

Help, help.

Better go and get your
police to look after the body.

I'm going after Dr.Manetta.

I think I know
where I can find him.

Richard, Richard
help, help,

help, Richard,
Richard.

Good evening, doctor.

I can save you the
trouble of going to the tomb.

You were going
there weren't you?

You seem to know a great
deal about my movements.

You'll be surprised just how
much I have learned

since your partner,
Mr.Havelock opened the tomb.

I congratulate you.

Where's Miss Lansdowne?

Oh no, no please
Mister Martin,

surely as a detective it is
your job to find that out.

That's exactly
what I'm going to do.

Let me out.

With your own
medicine Doctor Dr.Manetta.

Let me out,
let me out

let me out.

Where's Miss Lansdowne?

Let me out and I'll tell you.

Not until you tell
me where she is.

Let me out, let me out.

Release me.

Now.

Let me out for
God's sake let me out.

Let me, let me out of
here, let me out of...

What the devil's
going on here?

What's it look like?

What have you been up to?

A bit of the third
degree or something?

Well he asked for it.

Would you get me
some water please?

There is a tap in the corner.

You know very well the police
can't use those methods.

I'm not in the
police I resigned.

Well Manneta,
where's Miss Lansdowne?

We're charging you with
murder so you might have.

Wait a minute let's
make this official.

Doctor Dr.Manetta, I arrest
you on a charge of having been

concerned with the late Edward
Havelock in the murder of

Edward Silva on or about...

Let us take the usual
warnings for grantage.

So Havelock is dead.

He was shot resisting arrest.

A week forward,
our friend Havelock

but we made good use of him.

Where's Miss Lansdowne?

Let us take the facts in the
order of their importance.

I quite understand your
anxiety Mister Martin.

Tell me first what you
discovered in the tomb.

This.

What's it mean?

Our joint confession of guilt.

John was murdered.

No. John Selford died
from natural causes.

The people that signed that
document were the only ones

that knew of his death.

They were well paid
to hold their tongues.

Why, Havelock?

Havelock as executer of the
estate provided the money but

the whole scheme was mine.

Why was the
certificate put there?

As an insurance
against double dealing,

also each member of the
syndicate was given one of the

seven keys.

Here they are.

I got them back from Havelock
when the tomb was opened.

We found the Silva's
body in the vault.

Yes and you will find
the Cody's there too.

A suitable place for the
dead, don't you agree?

Who were the Cody's?

Small fry that had
to be liquidated.

Triple murder, eh?

Well, the penalty for three
is no greater than for one.

Craig did the killings.

He had quite a flare for it.

The so called heir, is missing?
Havelock's son.

But he told me he
was dead years ago.

It was John Selflord who died
from then on Havelock took his

place, an impersonation he
carried out very successfully.

Until tonight.

I see.

Anymore questions gentlemen?

Yes, what about
the Selford jewels?

Intact, too difficult
to dispose of.

Miss Lansdowne will inherit
them also the remainder

of the estate.

I think she will find
we've have left her enough to

satisfy her few
simple tastes and

keep it Mister Martin
as a memento,

it was a poison cup that
once belonged to,

to the Stewarts and thus the
liquid I have released has

lost some of its potency.

My presence here is
a matter of seconds.

Where is Miss Lansdowne?
Where is she?

I gave you the answer.

Dr.Manetta.

Too late.

What do you mean, Andy?

You heard what he said?

He gave me the answer?

Right.

Well I'll be glad to see
the bright lights again.

Well, I guess this
is one car ride

I won't have to walk home from.

Hey, wake up.

You know, if you were a poor
girl and deserving

I'd marry you.

I think so much of that offer.

I'll give the
money away to Glenda.

Oh that's different.

Careful.

I thought you like
living dangerously?

Can't a lady change her mind?
