This time, it's murder and mystery.
This case is still got me puzzled.
Presented by Portland.
You left yourself wide open, Strider.
Channel 10's sensational new movie series begins with Columbo, Wednesday.
Ooh, sweet sweetie.
Come on, kids, over here.
New Milky Way Shake has all the goodness and taste of a Milky Way bar in a refreshing milk drink.
All it needs is a really good shake.
Oh, for God's sake, we can't just sit.
We can do something, can't we?
Look in front of these.
We were planning an escape.
Together.
You didn't know that, did you?
It all worked out before the girl came.
You better give me those, Erroni.
No, no.
I'm using them.
One of them at least, so close to the girl.
I'm using them.
You're not going to get away with it.
You're going to get away with it.
I'm going to get away with it.
I'm going to get away with it.
You're not going to do anything.
I'm going to get that bitch out of my misery.
Bludgeon died for her, so that's the least I can do.
Give me that.
Don't you know what they're doing to her in there?
I can't imagine.
Then for God's sake, get out of my way.
Now give me those grenades, Erroni.
Now give me those grenades, Erroni.
I demand to see the girl.
The girl?
You know perfectly well what I mean.
Ah, the spy.
I. I
am afraid that will not be possible. Under
the terms of the Geneva Convention she is not a prisoner of war.
She is not your concern.
She is our concern. We are looking after her.
The name of common humanity.
Let us deal with her, Major. She is resting just now.
She has a long journey tomorrow to Singapore.
The Kempe especially asked to see her.
So, you understand. If I find it possible,
I will give her your best regards.
Did you see her?
No. But she is still alive.
They are taking her to Singapore tomorrow.
The Kempe asked to see her.
She is resting just now.
Where is the grenade?
Don't be a fool.
What happened to the girl?
They are taking her to Singapore.
So, that's it.
If you do it, O'Reilly, help me, I'll kill you.
Attention!
Attention!
Come on.
Sergeant.
The working party will take care of this.
I'm coming with you. Keep an eye on things.
Yes, sir.
Left, march!
Hey! No working! No! No good!
Him! No work!
What's the matter, Nea?
I'm thinking about her.
Come on, get back to your work.
The Kempe are the finest torturers in the world.
They are bringing her back here.
There is nothing you can do. Get back to your work.
Yes, Sergeant.
Sergeant!
Anything wrong?
No, no.
Come on, get back to work.
O'Reilly, come back!
Hurry!
Come on!
The English woman has escaped!
Go on.
Take this and get out while you can.
Go behind the car.
I'll take care of it.
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Was it all a great biblical mistake?
I'm sorry.
8.30 tonight, holy Moses!
They're the men and women of summer, in an all-new season of so.
The movie premiere of Baywatch, 8.30 Sunday.
The movie premiere of Baywatch, 8.30 Sunday.
Must be here.
Take my advice and don't fool around. Let him have it.
No, that's too dangerous.
Do you think that teacher would really mail Pop a copy?
She's mean enough to do anything. I had her once.
Say, well, you'd better tell Pop before he finds out.
Hello, Pop. What do you know?
Most happy to see sons number two and seven?
Is nocturnal visit business or pleasure?
Well, oh sure, we've been to a movie.
And we just dropped by to take you home.
Like cotton wool, filial devotion softens weight of parental crown.
We'll enjoy escort after brief glance at mail.
Say, Pop, you should have seen this movie. It was a mystery.
A swell one. Of course, great detectives like you can solve it in no time.
But it sure had us cursing.
Yeah, and all through the picture, Willie was saying Pop would be too smart to fall for that gag.
Thank you so much. Pop also too smart to fall for present gag.
For 15 years, careful assistant has placed mail here.
Why, do you look at parents' letters?
Letters? Did you say letters?
There is one you fear, perhaps from school, containing unsatisfactory report card?
Aw gee, you win. What chance has a fellow got when his father's detective?
Gee, Pop, how did you know?
Have already received same by earlier mail.
In Honolulu schools, E, not symbol for excellence,
can forgive bad report card, but not attempted flattery or tampering with United States mail.
Please assume proper position across parents' knee.
Enter, please.
I say, what's this?
Inspector Dove.
How are you, Charlie? Did I interrupt an old-fashioned spanking?
Sometimes quickest way to brain of young sprout is by impression on other end.
Permit humble introduction of sons number two and seven.
Hello, lads. Hello.
How do you do?
This gentleman, Inspector Dove of Scotland Yard.
Scotland Yard?
Gee.
I say, Charlie, they're a fine pair. Mighty fine. Carbon copies of my own two back holes.
Have you got Chinese sons?
What?
Are you working on a case, Inspector?
In Honolulu?
Not so fast.
Gee, you are. And I bet you want Pop to work with you, too.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Yes. Can put backward student to bed and do same to self.
Oh, gee, Pop.
Come on, woman.
Good night, Mr. Dove.
Good night, lad. And let's keep this little meeting to ourselves, won't we?
You bet.
You can trust us.
Boy, oh boy. It's Scotland Yard arriving time.
Just arrived, Honolulu?
No. Got in yesterday on the Southland.
And did not visit old friend?
I didn't dare. I'm traveling in Cognito. Just plain John Duff, British manufacturer.
I had to avoid all connection with the police. Now I need your help.
Most happy to lend humble assistance. What is nature of case, please?
Murder. A strangler.
Strangler?
Yes. One so clever that I traveled all over the world with him or her and learned practically nothing.
Explain, please, ability to stay with Hunt without glimpse of Fox.
The Fox is running with the hounds this time, Charlie.
But if I am right, he's one of these ten members of around the world crews personally conducted by a Dr. Sudevan.
You notice I include him among the suspects.
Tourists start from London?
No, from New York about four months ago aboard a British liner.
The first night out a New York judge was murdered in his stateroom.
Judge was member of crews?
No, he wasn't. But shortly before his death he telephoned the Purser and requested a list of Dr. Sudevan's party.
When the steward entered the stateroom he found his body. He had been strangled.
A request for a passenger list was only clue?
The only one. By the time the boat reached London there was so little to go on we couldn't detain anyone.
So I joined the party as it left Liverpool on a small passenger freighter, the South Run.
Have obtained further information on Voyage?
Nothing definite. And that's what worries me. The cruise ends in San Francisco next week.
How can Humboldt's servant be of assistance?
Well, Charlie, I've worked out a little plan that may drive our man into the open.
Nature of plan, please.
The whole party's at the Luani Hotel. What do you say we trot over there? I'll tell you on the way.
I'm most happy. We'll inform Chief and leave immediately. Excuse me for a minute.
Yes, Charlie, I see no reason why we shouldn't give the heart a hand.
Excuse me. Yes? What? Murdered? At the Luani Hotel, huh? I see. We'll be right over.
Please. Victim was Strangler?
Yeah, how did you know?
Inspector Duff now trading Strangler.
Well, let's talk to him.
Inspector!
Jim! Harry!
Strangler.
Get the pull motor spot quick. Cover the street in the alley and send a stop-hart to the Ducks.
Please, humbly request you assign me to case alone.
Alone?
Inspector, very old and honored friend. Vicious attack in my office, bitter challenge to friendship.
Challenge will not go unanswered.
St. Paul, I'll drive Willie home and come right back.
We'll drive Willie home. Good night.
Please, something for a cup of coffee.
Here, get along with you. I've just given you enough for ten cups of coffee.
Mind your business. I've got a right to live.
Yes, but not to cheat. Charity is one thing, but I hate to see a person victimized.
Better ten times a victim than let one man go hungry.
Thank you.
Well, perhaps you're right, Mr. Chen.
You know my name. We have met.
No, but you were pointed out to me this afternoon as one of the celebrities of Honolulu.
My name's Gordon, Professor Gordon, Archaeology.
You are here to pursue studies of ancient dead?
No, I'm just winding up a world cruise with Dr. Suderman.
I can't say that I'm sorry.
Have found world uninteresting?
Not exactly. It's just that I'm worn out looking at the same faces.
Publicity will ruin me. Can't you see this is my first cruise?
You've got to keep it out of the papers.
But Dr. Suderman, a murder cannot be hidden even as a convenience to your business.
I told Lieutenant Chan, so they put you on the case.
Doctor, this is the man who'll hear your troubles.
Dr. Suderman conducts the tour.
You won't detain my party, will you, Mr. Chen?
I'm sure you'll find that this crime is the work of a sleep thief.
If we don't sail the morrow, it will upset all my arrangements.
Will do utmost to prevent murder from causing annoyance.
What's that? Murder? Mr. Kenyon has been killed.
Good heavens. Why, we had cocktails together before dinner.
He and his nephew are on the cruise.
First time you hear sad news? Yes.
Please then, how you know it was uncle, not nephew?
Well, I'm sure I don't know why I jumped to that conclusion.
Surely, Mr. Chen, you don't think...
Merely interested in slip of tongue.
Please, what number, Mr. Kenyon's room?
342. I'll have one of the bellboys take you up.
Not necessary. Perhaps Dr. Suderman would be good enough.
I'd be glad to, of course.
And if you want me, I should be in the bar.
Thank you so much.
Steven Spielberg's amazing stories with dreams become reality.

It's a train. It's getting louder.
Dad, it's coming!
The ghost train's got one more stop.
When that train comes around tonight, it's never coming back.

I'm Wilkie, the house detective. Got everything lined up here.
Hey, Joe, come here.
This is the man that found the Kenyan bodies, the night watchman, in this wing.
There was cry for help?
Oh, no, sir. It was like this.
On my left at Fox Browns, I found this hall pitch dark.
I wanted to pull the switch. Go on, Joe.
Yes, sir. I was headed for the switch when I bumped into a man.
Who are you, I ask, but he don't answer.
I made a grab from him as he tried to get away from me.
But before he did, I tore his coat pocket. I heard it rip.
Well, when I got my flashlight out, I see Mr. Kenyan's door open and no light inside.
So I went in for a look and he found the body.
I don't know about colleague, has located owner of torn coat.
No, not yet, no. But I'm working on it.
Kenyan's room is right this way.
This is Richard Kenyan, the nephew.
Hello, Charlie. He's been dead about two hours.
Body not moved?
Only to take this one around his neck. What the strangler used?
Ordinary strap from suitcase, possibly one of twins.
Have found, brother?
Not on the Kenyan luggage. It must have come from outside.
Is that scene has upset worthy, doctor?
What? Oh, yes, yes. If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go.
Well, Charlie, if you don't need me anymore, I'll be on my way.
Thank you. Good night.
Good night.
Regret necessity for asking questions.
That's all right. Anything I can do to help.
Were associated with uncle in business?
No, I'm a lawyer. My uncle was a retired manufacturer.
I simply took care of his legal affairs.
Were in own room at time of crime?
No, I was out with a young lady.
Young lady, also member of party?
Yes.
What's her name? We'll have to check all alibis.
Alibi?
Word wrong, but procedure correct.
Her name is Paula Drake. You'll find her in her room down the hall.
Number 340.
Thank you.
What time you last see uncle alive?
Here in bed, before I left.
It was around 8.30. He was reading.
I didn't see that before.
Times.

A bag with 30 dimes.
30 pieces of paper.
30 pieces of paper.
30 pieces of paper.
30 pieces of paper.
30 pieces of paper.

well very well then I'll tell you what I heard with my own ears. Last night Dick
Kenyon had a violent quarrel with his uncle why that's ridiculous please it was
over you miss Drake over Dick wanting to marry you Mr Kenyon said she was just
after the money that will inherit some day it threatened his uncle for saying
that Mr Chan the woman's man you were present I know but the whole thing
fantastic of course it is my uncle was reading a mystery story it reminded him
of Paul any kiddingly referred to her as an adventurous surely you must have
realized we were joking we did not you are going to inherit your uncle's money
aren't you. Hey are you trying to make everybody believe that Dick killed his uncle?
We're only doing our most unpleasant duty I suppose there has to be people like you
in this world Mrs Walters why listen Mrs Walters you better throw that crystal
ball of yours away before somebody hits you with it. Ladies and gentlemen please I
beg of you I hate to disappoint you Mrs Walters but everything I've said can be
corroborated by Mr Duff he was in the room all the time. Gee Pops we forgot all
about Inspector Duff. Inspector Duff? Oh Scott of Yard? Gosh I didn't mean to. To speak
without thinking is to shoot without aiming. Police have quarters please. Mr.
Chad has headed his crews I insist upon knowing why Mr Duff joined my party in
Cognito. Inspector Duff on trail of ruthless murderer. In our party? Oh we
should never have taken this trip. Well you certainly picked a good man for an
alibi Dick. Lieutenant Chad speaking would like to report on Inspector Duff
please.
Thank you so much. Why Pop what's the matter? Old friend has joined honorable
ancestors. You mean Mr Duff is dead? You see I was right death is still among us.
Was it an accident? Inspector Duff meets death at hands of
Stanger. Doctor would advise your party pack up at once then go aboard cruise
ship. That's huge me just dandy. Come on.
Wednesday night. Why me? You're a legend. This time it's murder and mystery.
This case is presented by Portland. Channel 10 sensational new movie
series begins with Colombo Wednesday. To repair dry and damaged skin Vaseline
Intensive Care Lotion nourishes replenishes and creates a non greasy
barrier against further moisture loss.
Paula I know there's something on your mind. You haven't said five words in the
last half hour. What is it? Nothing. I've been thinking. About us? Mostly about you and your
uncle. Dickie wasn't joking when he called me adventurous was he? Are you still
thinking about that? Of course he was. Then why didn't the Walters hear you
laughing? Because the Walters hear only what they want to hear. You know that. But
this time I think they were telling the truth. I think you owe me the truth Dick.
Your quarrel was in that night over us. We didn't quarrel Paula. But he objected to our
marriage. He only asked me to wait. Is that all? Well he said he didn't know anything about you.
That you were going to inherit a fortune and he expected great things from you.
If that's what he said why didn't you tell that to Mr. Chan? Why make up that story
about a book he was reading? I don't know. Except that the Walters had put it so
brutally. Well I was afraid it might hurt you if I confirmed their story in
front of everyone. Then how did you expect Mr. Duff to confirm your story? I didn't
really. I thought I'd get Mr. Chan alone later and explain. And did you? What good would it do now?
He didn't question the story and Mr. Duff is dead. So why stir up a mess of trouble
for ourselves?
Let's forget it Paula. It's better that way. All right Dick. I'm going below. Good night.
Oh hello Dr. Oles. You got a light? Yes.
This is probably beginning to get on my nerves. Yes it does give you a feeling of being shut off from the rest of the world.
That's what I mean. I suppose it's man's inherent fear of the dark. Yes I guess so.
Have you ever thought that someone a pair of eyes was watching you for many a time?
And in the loneliest places. Did I ever tell you the time I opened the tomb? No I
mean since we left Honolulu. No?
That's odd. A moment ago I saw someone sitting in that chair. He's not there now.
Maybe that's the fellow. All he had to do was to move from the chair to the rail.
Excuse me sir. Were you just sitting? Mr. Chan. Good evening. Were you just sitting in that deck chair?
No. You must have been seeing things doctor. But I tell you there was someone in that chair.
And I'm not so sure it wasn't you. You've been watching me ever since we came aboard.
Corrects and please. I'm watching everyone. And I wish you'd be a little more subtle about it.
You've already made a nervous wreck of Mr. Pendleton. He won't see anyone. Not even me.
Due to your blundering methods. Perhaps Mr. Pendleton's nervousness due to blundering murderer.
Blunder is hardly the word for a man who so successfully shall we say eliminated your friend Inspector Duff.
And if the gentleman is aboard Mr. Chan then you're risking your life too.
Life has been risked for jewels far less valuable than friendship.
Oh, sure rough out tonight. I'm sorry Miss Watson. Were you listening at that door before you came out?
Me? What for? If the lady did not listen perhaps saw someone else during same?
Let me see. Yes! Yes there was someone. I think it was a man. No it could have been a woman.
I'm sure it was a man because he had on. All I know is when I looked the ship lurched and there I was.
I mean there you were. I'm chilly. How about a nightcap doctor? Good idea.
Don't you leave me Mr. Chan. Not with everything so spooky.
I've had the creeps ever since I saw that face peering at me through the window.
I can't eat Mr. Chan. I can't sleep. It's awful.
Shh! I thought I heard something.
Echo of imagination perhaps.
No Mr. Chan. There is something. Something that whispers and watches out there in the fog.
Certainly a big help. Now I will see things. All night Mr. Chan. I was dreaming about hands reaching at me.
Have you ever been bothered by clutching hands Mr. Chan?
Only by family at home.
Oh that's a good one.
I sure got a bad night. Well right now I think I see a hand. Of course I know that it's my imagination.
Ah! Fly! Fly!
Who's there? What's going on here? Bring it out! Bring it out! Come on! Bring it out!
Tell him to lay off. What's the idea of jumping Mr. Chan?
I didn't jump him. I was just trying to attract his attention. He's my pal. He can explain everything.
Oh in that case Mr. Chan.
Correct him please. Unfortunate young man suffer from illusions.
Then he isn't. Kind of full of fast one.
Please treat gently. May have grieving mother at home.
We'll treat him gently all right. We know how to handle store weights. Come on!
Come on!
Hey where you been? I've been looking all over for you.
Shhh.
Oh.
Are you any good at moving furniture?
Why?
Susie's seen a ghost and wants to barricade herself in.
You better hurry up before she starts digging trenches.
Thanks for the tip.
Good night.
Who is it?
Stuart sir. I have a radiogram coil.
Put it under the door.
Stuart! Stuart!
Give me the wireless room.
This is General Pendleton. Have you received a radiogram from me tonight?
Nothing tonight Mr. Pendleton.
Hello the new generation of neighbors in 92.
After topping the charts around the world, Xtreme delivered one of the best rock albums of the year, Polo Graffiti.
Two huge hit singles out at Morda Cup. Polo Graffiti, the brilliant new album from Xtreme. Out now.
Mr. Shrein look! Don't let him in!
Let's go before he tries to get to the door!
Right Susie. We did that night see? Huh?
Yeah.
And so we did.
Then tell him we don't want any.
Who is it?
The landlord. I've come for the rent.
Come on get up girls. The sun's in the heavens, the decks are cleared for action, and all's right for the world.
Must you bang on doors at the crack of dawn?
The crack of dawn? Why I broke wide open hours ago.
Have a look. Stretch your legs, you'll feel better.
I don't want to look. My legs are quite long enough.
Will you stop making that infidel racket?
You know the trouble with you my jolly friend is that you played with mummies so long you can't enjoy anything that's alive.
Now take Susie.
I don't want Susie and I don't want you and your early morning antics.
I'm sick to death with a lot of you. I wish to heaven I was back in the tomb of the inferno.
Oh no I...
What's going on out here?
I think our mummy man would like us better if we were in bomb.
Good morning.
How is the happiest when hands are busiest?
Then I ought to be as happy as a lark. I've been shining shoes since 5 a.m.
Oh why did you do it Pop? And just when I was on the trail of the strangler.
Man can more safely search for gold if world thinks he dig ditch.
You mean by working on the boat I can help you better?
You catch.
What do you want me to do?
Could search closets of passengers for coat with torn pocket.
Why is he the murderer?
These questions and answers come later.
But Pop...
Stewart's assistant speaking.
Oh I'm sorry Mr. Pendleton.
Yeah I see Mr. Pendleton. It's Mr. Pendleton.
I'll bring your shoes right away.
Yes sir.
Brought them the wrong pair.
Ah these are his. I remember now.
Please please. I suggest you bring three pair shoes.
Three pair?
I have strong desire to talk with nervous gentleman who refuses to open door.
I got you Pop.
Who's there?
Stewart's assistant Mr. Pendleton. I brought you three pairs of shoes. One of them must be yours.
Leave them outside the door.
I can't do that sir. I have to deliver the other two pair to somebody else.
Wait a moment.
Please excuse manner of intrusion. Violence but most necessary.
What right have you of talking your way in here? I'm not a criminal.
Then please lower criminal weapon.
It's not criminal to carry a gun after a man's been murdered in the very next room.
Correction please. Mr. Kenyon murdered in your room.
That's not true.
Evidence of truth conclusive. You used Dr. Suderman's strap to strangle victims.
I didn't. I swear I didn't. I found him like that.
Thank you so much.
But I can explain Mr. Chan. I'm under doctor's care. My nerves. I can't stand noise.
Mr. Kenyon was hard of hearing. His room was quiet. I asked him to change with me.
Later on when I found I'd forgotten something, I returned to my old room and I found him dead.
You then carried body to other room and placed it in bed.
Yes.
Mr. Kenyon meet death in your room.
Would then appear murderous strangle wrong victim.
Why should anyone want to kill me? Perhaps you can give answer.
There's no one. No one I tell you.
Most happy to find man without enemies.
Have seen before?
Yes. There was a bag like that in Kenyon's hand when I... when I found him.
No meaning of symbol?
It's a warning.
A warning of death.
My death.
Man without enemies get warning of death? Explain please.
All I know is that five years ago my wife received a bag of coins like that one.
She was terrified but could give me no explanation.
The very next day someone tried to kill her.
Identity of assailant known?
Neither she nor I could think of a living soul who would wish to harm us.
Yet after five years revenge still sucks. Most unusual.
Unusual? It's madness. Only a maniac would repeat his attempts.
Mr. Chen you've got to protect me. It means my life.
We'll do humble best. Think life most necessary to capture a strangler.
Thank you so much.
Looks like you're down again Dr. Fittman.
I'm afraid Mr. Ross will say I played this very badly.
Where did he go?
He said he'd be certain of making one bid. With more cards.
Four BAM.
Margent. There you are. An 816 hand.
It was too easy. I'm afraid you young moderns haven't the concentration for the older game.
I guess you're right.
Margent with two players? Most unusual.
Yes. An American innovation. Your beautiful game has suffered many changes since its introduction in the Han Dynasty.
Always thought ancient pastime born earlier.
Perhaps you're right. My only knowledge of Margent is the result of my interest in the Han Dynasty.
Are you familiar with Chinese archeology Mr. Chen?
So sorry. Too bad. That dynasty was the golden era in southern China. I've made quite a study of it.
Would you like to play some Margent Mr. Chen?
Please keep seats. In China Margent is very simple. In America very complex. Like modern life.
Yes I quite understand that a man in your profession would prefer the simpler form of all games.
I'm afraid our legal friend here wouldn't.
No I've always felt the Chinese law was a bit too simple and direct.
Quite true. When Chinese Emperor have eight suspects of murder he solve problem very quickly.
Really how?
Chop off eight heads. Always sure getting one criminal.
That would simplify your problem considerably wouldn't it Mr. Chen?
Indeed yes. Not always easy to reduce many suspects to one.
No and there's not much time left for that is there?
Why not please?
Well if I know my law, unless you have some evidence by the time we reach San Francisco,
there's nothing to prevent us from scattering to the four corners of the earth.
Young man's knowledge of law quite accurate. Would be most useful to number one suspect. Please excuse.
This isn't even the time nor the place Jeremiah.
My mind is made up.
Please wait. A force from within tells me what is best.
You think that Chinese boy is a snob?
Don't care. Never around when you want him.
How's Mr. Pandu doing?
Okay I guess. He ain't set foot outside of his room in the past four days.
The only time I see him is when you bring his meals.
Crazy dude.
Yeah?
He must be scared of something.
Hey what are you...
This isn't it.
Where'd you get that?
The Chinese boy David Amin said you said this isn't him.
Isn't what?
He said that you would...
Say how do I know?
Well I don't know either. Here. I'm going after that kid.
Isn't that Michael?
Well I don't know is it?
Yes it is.
Where'd you get it?
Well the Chinese boy David Amin he...
He's got a few tricks up his sleeve.
Can you hear the rumble?
It's getting louder.
The ghost train has just one more stop.

What are you doing?
I brought your shoes back sir. I put them in...wait a moment.
Haven't I seen you before?
Maybe. Lots of people have.
Oh yes, I remember. You're Mr. Cham's son.
What are you hiding?
Nothing. Just my shoe rack sir.
Let me see that. Let me see that.
Music
Can I get you something please?
Where is your son?
He looks like he's offspring like privacy. Sometimes hard to find.
Will you be so kind as to tell me why your son was rifling my cabin?
Perhaps he got twigged only bending to duty.
Duty fiddle sticks. I caught the little beggar red handed.
Where is caught beggar?
Here I am Pop.
Give me that.
And here's the coat with the torn pocket.
Excuse.
Would explain unfortunate tear.
Well, as you know, passengers on a long cruise are likely to grow lax in their moral conduct.
Not with you around.
And on the night that Mr. Kenyon was murdered, I was about to enter my hotel room when I saw a man come down the unlit hall and enter a ladies room.
And he called me a stupor.
Quiet. Continue please.
I turned quickly to follow him and when I did my pocket got caught on the doorknob.
And then?
When I turned around he was gone.
Into whose room please?
I'd rather not answer that. A woman's reputation is involved.
Excuse. Chivalry quite understandable. Thank you so much.
Say, if he knew about that torn pocket, why didn't he tell you before?
Suppose you finish answer.
Well, it's obvious. The man whose pocket was torn murdered Mr. Kenyon.
Thread of evidence weaker than thread of pocket.
But Pop, two guys couldn't have torn their pockets the same night.
It is possible.
But darned improbable. I'm going to keep my eye on that old blue nose.
Oh, good morning Mr. Chad.
Good morning.
Must we still have a guard at Mr. Pendleton's door?
Guard inconvenience you?
Well, yes. Since this is their last night aboard, I'm giving a little party.
I'd like the passengers to remember this trip as a pleasure cruise, Mr. Ken.
But with guards in front of their doors?
Mr. Pendleton's still a very nervous man.
Oh, well in that case I suppose he won't want to join the party.
But you'll come, won't you?
Most happy to celebrate. Even without reason.
Splendid, splendid. I wonder if you judge the hoppy horse races.
Oh, so sorry. But only knowledge of horse race is empty pocket book.
That's all you need though for these horses.
In any case, you will give us a chance to forget our troubles.
Especially with you as the judge.
Well, I'll see you later.
Ministers Sherlock now suspect worthy doctor?
I don't know who to suspect, but I don't like this judge business.
Judge always honorable position.
But you know the suitorman was awfully anxious to get the guard off Pendleton's door.
Guard will remain.
But I tell you, Pop.
Correction please. Pop, tell you.
Offspring return to footwork. Parent take care of headwork.
Little religious, little religious.
Come on, turning iron.
That's not well.
Winner of the first race, Slippery Sam.
Doccy, Mr. Frederick Roth, owner, Ms. Susie Watson.
Time, one minute and ten seconds.
Quiet please, quiet.
Congratulations to intrepid horseman.
And symbol of supremacy to charming owner of noble steed.
Thanks. I think I'll get some hopes for the noble steed.
Some rye for myself.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, please.
There will be races every 15 minutes.
There will be races every 15 minutes on the quarter hour.
Dancing in between.
The next race will be at 8.15 exactly.
On the music.
Would you like to dance, Susie?
Who me? What's the matter, Paula Breguelet?
Oh, she's not interested in dancing with me. How about you?
Oh, I love it. Mr. Shaggy better take shelter before I start swinging.
She's a swell dancer.
And the boys bring sadness?
No, I'll be glad when tomorrow comes and we've landed.
Young man, not so glad perhaps.
He should be relieved. It hasn't been a very happy voyage for him.
Death of uncle most unfortunate.
Yet leave nephew very rich man.
That can never make a man happy.
Or quarrel with uncle before death.
They didn't quarrel.
Yet lady with spirit friends hearsay.
But they can explain that. Mrs. Walter's misunderstood.
Young man's explanation like skin of sensitive woman, very thin.
They did quarrel.
He told me so himself.
Mr. Chan, you don't think that...
Please, one cloud does not make storm, nor one falsehood criminal.
Still trust young man?
I want to, very much.
Then do, but trust must be shared.
Let young man know what is in your heart.
Daddy, you believe he's innocent?
Unfortunate profession make detective Shaggy a man of his word.
Unfortunate profession make detective suspect innocent with guilt.
Not so with lovers.
Thank you, Mr. Chan.
Mr. Chan, we've come to ask this paper.
More racists to be judged?
Well, we hope so.
Well, we hope so. But the waters are throwing a damper on the party.
Come quick! Mr. Pendleton's dead!
Dead?
Yeah, he struggled with a leather shoelace. I was just going by the door when I...
You keep the others here while Mr. Cannon and I go.
Please, you're trying to go alone.
Mr. Cannon, I'm responsible for these people, as if you fail to protect Mr. Pendleton, I must insist...
Hungry at let failure, but suggest your presence more useful to remainder of party.
Dead men need no protection. Come, please.
I knew something was wrong when I saw the guard wasn't on the door.
Who deliver food?
Buttons. Shall I get them for you?
Yes.
Oh, Buttons! Oh, Buttons!
Hey, where have you been?
Hey, somebody sacked me.
I heard a noise.
Come on, Pop wants to see you.
Yeah.
Oh, Buttons! Oh, Buttons!
Oh, Buttons!
Hey, where have you been?
Hey, somebody sacked me.
I heard a noise.
Here's the guard, Pop. I found him in a cabin down the hall. He was out cold.
I'm sorry, Mr. Chan. I heard a noise down the corridor. I stepped in the cabin and I just...
Well, somebody crowned me.
Gee, is he dead?
Quite dead. When you last see him alive?
When Buttons brought his dinner. Usual time around 8.30.
And how long ago you were attacked?
Gosh, I don't know.
Had need attention?
No, sir. I'm all right. I'm just a little groggy.
You want me back on the door, sir?
If feeling fit. Would prefer working without interruption.
Perhaps later can give more information.
Yes, sir.
Radio room, please.
Gee, Pop, did he send a radiogram before he was murdered?
Would appear so.
Lieutenant Chan speaking.
Please inform if Mr. Pendleton sent radiogram within hour.
Yes.
He telephone message?
Please repeat contents.
Sorry, Mr. Chan. I can't give out any information concerning personal messages without the captain's permission.
Understand. Please obtain permission and send message to Mr. Pendleton's stateroom.
Soon as possible.
Thank you.
Gee, Pop, how did you know he sent a message?
Linda Pendleton, Broadmoor Apartments, Salt Lake City, Utah.
We are in danger. Do not come to San Francisco. Love, Gerald.
Boy, danger was right.
Say, Pop.
Say what?
If he telephoned the message, where's the original? This is only the impression.
Message not in logical place. Perhaps in hands of Steinberg.
But what would he want with it? Especially if Pendleton had already sent the message.
If answer known, criminal's motive clear.
Can recall shoes tied with leather laces?
Yes. There was a pair of shoes with leather laces.
Honor, please.
Why, it was a... it was a...
Yes, yes.
Gee, Pop, I can't remember.
Better a father lose his son than a detective his memory.
Oh, who had leather laces? Leather laces.
From the radio operator, Mr. Chan.
Thank you.
Radio ground telephoned to operator four minutes after nine.
And it's now nine thirty.
Listen, Linda Pendleton, Broadmoor Apartments, Salt Lake City, Utah. All is well.
All is well, but...
Meet me at Duntley Hotel, San Francisco. Love, Gerald.
But the message on the pad says, danger. Don't come to San Francisco.
That message never sent.
Second wire evidently sent by murderer after Mr. Pendleton dead.
Then he must be out to get Mrs. Pendleton too.
And that's why he sent this wire for her to come to San Francisco.
Is possible.
Murderer sent wire four minutes after nine.
Undoubtedly killed victim shortly before.
Would not risk absence from party too long.
That's right, Pop.
Please get pictures, fifth race.
Pictures? But why, Pop?
Buttons take pictures of all races.
First race, eight o'clock. Then every fifteen minutes.
Therefore, fifth race, nine o'clock. Is true?
Yeah. And the pictures will tell us who wasn't at the party at nine o'clock.
And that's our man.
Please bring film and stewards developing material to Lowly Father's Stake Room at once.
You said it, Pop. With Buttons pictures and my missing laces, your case is as good as song.
You've done a chance, Vicki.
I tried to see you, Mr. Chamber. The guard wouldn't let me in.
It's most important.
About the leather shoelace.
Thanks, I will. In your cabin?
Right away.
So where's the shoelace?
I'll get it.
In your cabin? Right away.
So when I heard the boy say that Mr. Pendleton had been strangled with a leather lace,
I remember that mine were missing from my shoes when the boy returned them this morning.
Think boy removed laces?
I don't know. But I do know that I didn't strangle Mr. Pendleton.
Though it's evident someone's anxious to have you think I did.
I appreciate honest explanation.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
Now I remember.
Remember?
The guy with the missing shoelace.
Was Mr. Gordon?
Yeah. How did you find out?
Simple deduction.
Yeah?
Yes. He told me so.
Oh, he did, huh? Well, you know why? Because he knew darn well that I'd tell you.
Covering up, that's what he's doing. You know, Pop, I think that...
Please suggest you rest overworked brain and exercise watchful eye while a parent develops interesting negatives.
Hello?
Is Mr. Chan there?
Yes, but he's busy right now. Can I take the message? I'm his son.
Tell him that if he's interested in finding the missing shoelace, he might look on the top drawer of the dresser in cabin 26.
Who is this? Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Hey, stop! Pop! Pop! Help! Stop! Stop it!
What's going on here?
See if Mr. Chan is all right. Help! Stop it! Help! Murderer! Stop it! The murderer! Come on!
Stay here, Pop.
Oh, my God!
Mr. Chan, are you all right?
Yes, quite. Have you seen the Chinese boy?
Yes, he was chasing someone down the hall.
Please, come quick.
Stop him! Stop!
Did you see him?
Yes, he went out.
We've got to get him. That guy's a killer.
Killer?
Look out!
There they are!
Has anyone come?
Come on.
Oh!
Be careful. Go around the boxes this way.
You go that way.
They're down there, Mr. Chan.
Take passengers back to lounge, quickly.
Yes, sir.
Pop!
Pop!
I got him!
Please hold. I'm coming.
Nice work, Mr. Chan.
Correction, please. Did not fire gun?
No.
Then it must have been me. But I never got closer to him than 30 feet.
Gee, you came close enough to save the rest of us.
Why, that's the bigger we saw in Honolulu, Mr. Chan.
Bigger?
But how did he get on the boat?
Did not come aboard as beggar.
Ross!
Gee, I never figured it was him.
But why did he pretend to be a beggar?
And why did he kill my uncle?
Fear mask covers more than confidence.
Here's the nakedness, Pop.
Ruined my life, Mr. Chan.
Don't you think it would be better if we were to return to the lounge
and quiet the other passengers?
Yes, thank you.
Yes. Come get them, please.
You will inform Captain, please?
Yes, sir.
Boy, imagine old Hawk eye hitting him from 30 paces.
In darkness, sometimes difficult to distinguish Hawk from vulture.
I don't follow you, Pop.
Bullets shot from 30 feet does not lead powder burns.
Powder burns?
I don't know. Ross must have shot himself.
Are you sure you're a dead man fire act officer?
I'll say I am. If I had not yelled, he would have caught him.
But only one bullet fired from a gun.
One bullet? Then someone must have got close enough to...
But that doesn't make sense.
We were all after him and whoever killed him would have bragged about it.
All but one who wished to remain anonymous.
Wednesday night.
Why me?
You're a legend.
This time it's murder and mystery.
This case is the Rotten Puzzle.
Presented by Portland.
You left yourself wide open, Strider.
Channel 10's sensational new movie series begins with Columbo, Wednesday.
Mobile's exclusive card option system accepts over 100 different sorts of cards.
So, you'll be back on the road again in no time at all.
Just look for this sign.
Mobile card option. More cards, no worries.
Well, here we are, Pop. Without a clue.
I couldn't find the other shoelace and you let him get the negative.
Guess we can't solve them all.
Memory of number two son, still elusive, like soap in bathtub.
Memory? Elusive?
You mean Mrs. Pelvinson?
Gee, Pop, that's right. If she recognizes anybody in the party, why?
I've talked with the others, Mr. Chan.
They've all agreed to attend the inquest.
I'd explain this merely a matter of routine.
I've arranged to hold same immediately.
Well, it's as though we're in.
I'm sorry the trip wasn't more successful for both of us, Mr. Chan.
Thank you. Regret is mutual.
Hello, Lieutenant Chan. We got your table and the inquest is all set.
Are those the two?
Mr. Pendleton? Mr. Gerald Pendleton? Mr. Pendleton?
It's like a cry from the world beyond.
Great, it's the one that we said, get this over with.
You're going to hang your hat on my goose now.
Mr. Gerald Pendleton, telegram for Mr. Pendleton.
Here, boy, I'll take that.
Are you Gerald Pendleton?
There's Mr. Pendleton.
Excuse me.
What is it, Pop?
Message from Auckland Airport.
Mrs. Pendleton, flying to rejoin husband, has met with serious airplane accident.
Oh, gosh.
Please escort others to inquest.
Where are you going, Pop? Can I go?
Big presents more valuable when parted.
All right, is this all of them?
Hey, that's all of them, Captain.
Come on, folks, we're off to the morgue.
Since the testimony of these witnesses is in complete agreement, Lieutenant Wilson,
my findings for the coroner's jury will be murder and justifiable homicide.
I see no reason to hold these people any longer tonight.
That's all.
Well, that's that.
Yeah, that's over.
Hello, Tom, I have that coffee now.
Wait a minute, folks.
Mr. Coroner, aren't you even going to wait for Pop?
Hmm? Who's Pop?
His father is Charlie Chan, sir.
Oh, I see.
Well, if your father has important information, where is he, young man?
Where is he?
Well, I don't know, but...
Present, please.
Forgive unavoidable delay,
but with kind permission of most worthy coroner, would like to present additional information.
Very well, but the case is obvious enough.
I'm satisfied that Ross murdered Pendleton and was shot attempting to escape.
You don't want us to wait, do you, Mr. Chan?
We'll all manage to get home.
I don't think we should leave until we hear what Mr. Chan has to say.
Why don't you move in? You'd love it here.
Understand urgent desire to return to loved ones, but will detain only momentarily.
It's all right with me, as long as I can catch the midnight plane.
Thank you so much.
We'd like to present new witness.
Just a minute. Tom, hold that coffee.
All right, go ahead.
Thank you so much.
Now, doctor, please.
Widow of unfortunate member of cruise, Mrs. Pendleton,
who despite painful accident is most anxious to testify.
All right, Mrs. Pendleton, you may proceed.
I'm an actress by profession.
I was first married in New York to a man whom I believed to be a jeweler.
Later I was shocked to discover that he was really a thief.
When he tried to make me use my profession as an actress to help him smuggle jewelry,
I went to the police.
He was sent to prison.
He swore he'd make me suffer for that.
Who was this man?
His name is Eberhart. Jim Eberhart.
I divorced him and resumed my maiden name,
but I lived in terror of the day he would be let out.
He was the sort of man who would never stop until he had revenge.
Then I met Mr. Pendleton.
Shortly after our marriage, Jim escaped from prison.
That very day I received a small bag of coins,
containing 30 dimes.
I knew what that meant.
The next night when I was alone,
he broke into my apartment and tried to kill me.
Go on, please.
Shortly after, he was recaptured.
Last May he was released.
Last May?
Well, that's when we started on our cruise.
Then Eberhart must have been on the boat.
Not likely. Pendleton certainly would have recognized him.
No, no, Mr. Pendleton had never seen Eberhart.
I hadn't even told him about Jim.
Then there's only one answer.
Eberhart must have used the name of Ross.
We'll settle that in a moment.
If you wheel Mrs. Pendleton over to the viewing window,
she can identify him.
Identification unnecessary.
Ross, not Eberhart.
Not Eberhart?
New York police report Ross as wholesale jeweler,
suspected of being tense for stolen gems,
but never arrested.
If that's the case, why did he kill Pendleton?
Correction, please. Pendleton killed by Eberhart.
Then why was Ross wearing that disguise?
Forced to do so.
Eberhart, jewel smuggler, had sufficient evidence
to convict Ross as fence,
and thus compelled him to join ingenious murder plan.
When Ross trapped in hold,
Eberhart, fearing exposure,
eliminated only other person with knowledge of mad scheme.
It's a strange case you've built up,
but how are you going to prove it?
You haven't got Eberhart.
Contradiction, please.
Jim Eberhart, maniac killer, now in this room.
Oh, what? In this room?
Well, if he's here, we'll soon find out.
Mrs. Pendleton, would you please remove your bandage for a moment
and identify this, this Jim Eberhart?
I'm afraid that will be impossible.
Mrs. Pendleton has been temporarily blinded.
Perhaps lady can identify first husband by his voice.
I'm sure I can.
But that's useless. It wouldn't stand in a court of law.
We have no rights to do that.
Quiet, please.
Will you end this as soon as possible?
My patient is very weak.
So sorry. You will each step forward and repeat words.
I am Jim Eberhart.
This is ridiculous. I'm not Jim Eberhart.
Jim.
I tell you I'm not Jim Eberhart. You hear me? I'm not.
Can't stop talking now, Dr. Suderman.
Arrest gentlemen who protest too much.
This isn't a marg, it's a madhouse. Clear out everybody.
Please stay here.
But Papa.
Mr. Kam, will you wait and help me make some sense out of my notes?
Most happy.
I always knew deep within me that he was the one.
Anyway, congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, good night.
Good night, sir.
Goodbye, Mr. Chan.
Trust unhappy ending to cruise has not discouraged young people from greater voids.
Oh, not at all. We're being married tonight.
Congratulations.
Thanks. You can reach us at the Adelphi, but don't call us.
I understand. After wedding bells prefer no phone bells.
Right. Come along, Susie. We'll need you as a witness.
You can always find me, Mr. Chan, at the YWCA, day or night.
Do we have to wait here, Pop? Couldn't we go to a hotel until the cops pick up Suderman?
I'm hungry.
Me too.
I always have a snack after a hard day.
Come on, help yourself, son.
What?
Here? With all those...
Why not? This is the quietest place in town.
Usually.
Oh, get those exhibits off the table in the viewing room, will you, son?
Yes, sir.
Say, Doc, you didn't see Ross' mask and hat, did you? They're not here.
That's strange. They're on the table at the inquest.
They're not here now?
Gosh! Pop! They're gone! The mask and the hat!
Gone? This is the darkest case I've ever been on.
Mask and hat on table before light extinguished.
Did you see anybody pick up their mask in there, Doc?
In the darkness? How?
Well, I know how many steps in there took it.
It's locked. Bring it in quickly.
Blind crippled, you double-crosser.
I've waited five years for this.
I swore I'd get you and Pendleton.
Well, I got him, and if it's the last thing I do, I'll...
Say, what's going on here?
Merry capture of a murderer.
It was Mr. Chan's idea, and he called the turn.
We even heard him say he killed Pendleton.
May remove mask now, Mr. Everhart.
You were extremely clever, using disguise as beggar to dispose of victims,
then forcing Ross to wear same disguise and be seen with you in front of Honolulu Hotel.
Last night, fearing exposure by development of pictures,
you compelled Ross to steal negatives after drawing my son away by telephone call.
And when Ross, wearing disguise, was trapped in hold of ship,
you saw opportunity to establish perfect alibi by killing him.
But power of mask was fatal blow to ingenious plan.
I underestimated you, Mr. Chan.
You said on the boat that the murderer was a blundering fool.
You were right. I should have eliminated you as I did your friend, Inspector Duff.
I must happy for truth of ancient saying.
Opportunity will never knock again.
Take him away.
You are all right?
Yes, I...
Don't move or I'll shoot.
I told you I'm not Everhart, you fool.
Keep your hands up.
Mr. Chan, will you please tell this crazy son of yours that I...
Release, good doctor.
But I found him hiding in the closet. He's Everhart.
Correction, please. Dr. Suderman only follow careful instructions to mislead real criminal.
Real criminal? Who?
Mr. Gordon, supposed archaeologist.
Supposed archaeologist? When did you find out he wasn't?
On boat at Mahjong table when he referred to Han dynasty as Golden Era of South China.
Well sure, wasn't it?
When will number two son ever learn history of ancient ancestors?
Golden Era Shang dynasty, North China.
Oh.
And look at her. She's not blind.
Mrs. Pendleton, extremely brave woman.
Play most dangerous role to help apprehend murderer.
Regret unpleasant experience that can now live in peace.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Mr. Chan.
Goodbye, Mr. Chan.
Goodbye.
Mr. Chan, I'm happy to have been of assistance.
Thank you, doctor.
But Pop, if you suspected Gordon and Mrs. Pendleton knew him,
why didn't you just have her identify him as Everhart instead of using a trick?
And turning my morgue into a rough house.
Mere identification of suspect, no proof of crime.
Singleness of purpose and cleverness with which murders committed
indicate that desire for revenge drove Everhart insane.
Therefore, prepared trap to anticipate inevitable attempt upon former wife.
Thus Everhart convicts self.
Gee Pop, you sure figured that one out.
And now how about a nice quiet cup of coffee?
Thank you so much.
For once agree with number two son.
Much prefer noise of restaurant.
You said it.
Thank you.
