Stop prowling around, Farrell.

I'm afraid you don't appreciate good music.

Oh, just thinking of Blake. I wish we'd have finished him.

We'll have other chances.

We're bound to run into him sooner or later in the course of our activities.

Hello?

Just a minute.

It's for you, Jim. Long distance from Washington.

Yes?

Oh, hello, Zorko.

Did you obtain that information?

Splendid.

I'll take care of everything at this end and contact you later.

Goodbye.

So it was Zorko. At what keyhole has he been listening this time?

A fine way to refer to an international agent.

He's been listening at a very important keyhole.

Snyder, a government expert,

is flying here with plans for a jet propulsion plane

that will transport freight at half the present cost.

It will put all other plane manufacturers out of business.

I don't see where we come in on that.

It's very simple.

If we get those plans, we can sell them to a foreign government at our own price.

Snyder's due on the 3 o'clock plane.

That gives you and Rita plenty of time to carry out a little plan I prepared.

Are you Mr. Snyder?

Yes.

I'm Mr. Blake's secretary. He was out when your telegram arrived,

so I came to meet you myself.

Thank you.

Don't move.

See if the plans are in the car, Rita.

That's what we want. It's in code, just like Belmont said.

Then we'd better take her along with us. She works for Blake,

so she must know the code.

Yeah, come on.

All right, call me back later.

Now listen, all we want is the key to that coat. Give us that and you can go.

I've already told you that I don't know it. Yes, dear, but we don't believe you.

Oh, we've wasted too much time already. Show her what'll happen if she won't talk.

She's ready to talk. Get the plans.

A drink of water, please.

All right, Miss Kingston.

Now let's have all the answers.

It's based on the telephone dial.

This last slot is a key slot.

I don't get it.

Well, I'll mark it for you.

Each of these double numbers represents a letter. For instance, 31, you dial 3.

Then in the last slot, you get M, N, O. So which letter is it? M, N, or O? It's M,

because the 1 in 31 means the first letter.

For 53, you dial 5.

Then you get G, H, I. But the 3 in 53 means the third letter, I. For 63, you dial 6.

You take the third letter, F. For 52, you dial 5.

You take the second letter, H. Uh-huh, it's beginning to make sense.

For 41, you dial 4.

You take the first letter, J. For 83, you dial 8.

That's all there is to the code.

Now will you let me go?

Miss Joyce, she's a prisoner somewhere. Have the call traced on the other phone.

Operator, trace the call coming in on Fleetwood 6548. All right, Rita.

Take these plans over to Belmont and let him decode them.

All right.

You keep Miss Kingston here until you hear from Belmont.

See you later.

Connection's been cut.

Thank you, operator. It's the airplane motor repair

shop, 721 Watson Street. Stand by, Fred.

It doesn't work out. It's just a lot of meaningless syllables.

She fooled you, Rita. She's stalling for time, but it won't help her.

All right, Jim, leave it to me.

So you gave us the runaround, huh?

Well, you won't fool us this time. Get over there.

For the last time, did we get that code?

No.

All right, you've had your chance.

Untie that girl.
