01:59The End

02:29Bessie, Bessie, it's Jimmy

02:39Mr. Durham, something's happened to Bessie

02:48Force the door open

02:50A singing violin

03:14Betty, darling

03:21The singing violin

03:23It was here again

03:24I saw it, I heard it

03:26The singing violin

03:31I heard it

03:32Betty

03:33I saw it

03:35Give her one of these

03:42It's the sedative Dr. Moreno left for her

03:45She will attend to my stepdaughter

03:58Perhaps you wondered, Wynt, why I invited you to my home as my weekend guest

04:16I thought our coming marriage, Bettys and mine, had something to do with it, sir

04:20Uh, no

04:21I wanted you to see for yourself why that marriage can never take place

04:25I don't understand, sir

04:26Are you blind, Wynt?

04:29After what you've just witnessed, don't you realize that my stepdaughter is losing her mind?

04:34She never told me

04:35Naturally

04:36Dancing skeletons, headless men

04:40And tonight, a singing violin

04:42Surely, sir, it must be merely her imagination

04:46Nightmares

04:47But she insists the things that she sees are real

04:50Positive proof of incipient Dementia praecox

04:54I regret to have to tell you this, my boy

04:58My doctor informs me that in a matter of weeks, if not days

05:03Betty must be certified as hopelessly mad

05:06Mad

05:36You finished, sir?

05:42Yes

05:42Get out the Thompson fire, Wilkins

05:45You know that hatchet killer

05:46Yes, sir

05:47Mr. Holmes did a neat bit of work on that case, don't you think, sir?

05:58Might I remind you, Wilkins, that Scotland Yard also worked on that case?

06:04Yes, sir

06:05What shall I do with the file, sir?

06:10Put it in the case's closed file, of course

06:12Very good, sir

06:14Crime seems to be falling off in London this week, sir

06:17It's been a dull week

06:19Yes, it's so dull, I'm going to do something about it

06:22What, sir?

06:27I'm going to visit our old friend, Sherlock Holmes

06:30I've noticed that when we've got no crime, he has

06:34A beautiful girl having hallucinations

06:53A worried housekeeper

06:55An austere stepfather

06:58A heartbroken boy

07:00A gloomy old house in a quiet section of London

07:04That was one of the most bizarre and terrifying cases ever to challenge the talents

07:11Of my extraordinary friend, Sherlock Holmes

07:14We were plunged into it one drowsy day in mid-September

07:18When murder, sudden and brutal

07:21Came calling

07:22What is it?

07:26Sounds like a shot from the street

07:28Stand back there, stand back

07:40Stand back back

07:41What's happened to your passenger?

07:43He's dead, sir

07:45Dead?

07:47True enough

07:47He's been shot

07:49What's going on?

07:54This man in the carriage, inspector

07:56Short he was, sir

07:57All right, let's stand back, please

07:59Stand back, please

08:01Stand back, let's move along here, please

08:04Stand back, let's move along

08:04Come come back, please

08:05Come back, please

08:06Stand back, please

08:07Move along here, please.

08:09Move along here, please.

08:11Please stand back.

08:15Move along here, please. Move along.

08:17Officer. Yes, sir.

08:19You take charge here. Yes, sir.

08:21All right, driver.

08:23What do you know about this?

08:25I don't know. I was...

08:27We were...

08:29We were about to have a visitor.

08:31Where? What do you mean, where?

08:33Yes, a young man, but he was murdered before he reached here.

08:35Murdered?

08:37How do you know?

08:45Just move along, please. Move along.

08:47Fall over. Move along, please.

08:59Ah, hello, Lestrade.

09:01I've been expecting you.

09:03I told myself I was coming here until a few minutes ago.

09:05I suppose you also know why I came here?

09:07Murder.

09:09Both Dr. Watson and I heard the shot.

09:11I observed part of the proceedings through the binoculars.

09:15This was found in his pocket.

09:17Sherlock Holmes.

09:19221B Baker Street.

09:21Mmm.

09:23Mmm.

09:25It was obviously employed by a tea and spice merchant.

09:27The aroma is unmistakable, eh, Watson?

09:29Oh, unmistakable.

09:31The boy's wallet gave us some further information.

09:33His name was James Winant.

09:35He lived at number five, Crestwood Place.

09:37He was employed by Stackhurst and Durham, tea and spice merchants.

09:41Stackhurst.

09:43Stackhurst.

09:45Does the name mean something to you, Holmes?

09:47Well, it should.

09:49Stackhurst and Durham appears in almost every tin of tea sold in England.

09:53What was young Winant's business with you, Holmes?

09:57Winant.

09:59Durham.

10:01Ah.

10:03I've never heard of Winant before.

10:07Were you able to ascertain anything from the cabbie?

10:11No.

10:12One of the passers-by heard him say the singing violin.

10:17The singing violin?

10:21No, that can't mean anything, I'm sure.

10:24Can't mean anything, Lestrade.

10:26Well, now, of course not.

10:28Get your hat, Watson.

10:30Well, where are we going, Holmes?

10:35To interview the murderer of Jimmy Winant, of course.

10:38You mean to say you know who killed him?

10:41Of course I do.

10:43Don't you?

10:44Might I inquire who lives in this dreary monument to great wealth?

11:02Guy Durham.

11:03Durham?

11:04Wasn't he one of the partners of the firm that employed young Winant?

11:07Yes, the only surviving member.

11:09Stackhurst died 15 years ago.

11:11Holmes, you said we were going to visit Winant's murderer.

11:15I did.

11:16Yes?

11:17Good morning.

11:18I'm Sherlock Holmes, and this is Dr. Watson.

11:20I'd like a word with Mr. Guy Durham.

11:21Here is my card.

11:23I'll tell him, for all the good it'll do.

11:26He left word he doesn't want to be disturbed.

11:29Come in.

11:33Oh, permit me, madam, to congratulate you on your new position.

11:57How do you know I'm new here?

11:59Mrs. Ferguson.

12:00Who was at the door?

12:04Excuse me.

12:17How did you know?

12:18Well, she was unfamiliar with the position of the curtain court.

12:20She obviously hasn't been employed here very long.

12:22Oh, obviously.

12:25I'm sorry, sir, but Mr. Durham can't.

12:27Oh!

12:30What is the meaning of this?

12:32I'm sorry, sir.

12:33They pushed in before I could stop them.

12:35I must apologize for this intrusion, Mr. Durham,

12:37but it's imperative that I speak to you.

12:39Oh, very well.

12:41As long as you're here, what do you want?

12:45I take it you are Sherlock Holmes.

12:47At your service, sir.

12:48And this is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.

12:51Pleasure, sir.

12:52How do you do?

12:53Sit down.

12:58I regret to say that I am the bearer of bad tidings, Mr. Durham.

13:01Your prospective son-in-law was murdered not two hours ago.

13:06What?

13:08Winant murdered?

13:09But Holmes!

13:10The engagement announcement of Miss Betty Durham and Mr. James Winant was published in the Times not two days ago.

13:19Mr. James Winant was on his way to see me when he was ambushed and shot.

13:24But what did he want to see you about?

13:28Don't you know, Mr. Durham?

13:31No.

13:33Then perhaps Miss Betty, your stepdaughter, I believe.

13:36Yes, Betty is my stepdaughter.

13:39I adopted her when I married her mother.

13:41Well, perhaps she might be able to provide some information.

13:44I am sorry.

13:45I am afraid I cannot allow you to see her.

13:49She has been in a highly overwrought frame of mind of late.

13:54Only this morning, under the advice of her doctor, I sent her away for a complete rest.

13:59Moreover, it is best under her present mental condition that she should remain in ignorance of Winant's death.

14:06Oh, that's most unfortunate.

14:09Probably the excitement of her forthcoming marriage brought on an emotional upset.

14:15Not only probably, Doctor, but true.

14:18Now, if you'll excuse me, I regret I cannot be of any more help with you.

14:22Oh, Mr. Durham, what is the name and address of your former housekeeper?

14:27Why do you ask?

14:28Well, housekeepers are rather hard to come by these days.

14:31If she hasn't already found a new position, I'd like to employ her.

14:35I prefer not to recommend my former housekeeper.

14:37I had to discharge her for theft.

14:39Good morning, gentlemen.

15:05Do you believe Durham is the murderer, Holmes?

15:06Yes.

15:07Why are you so sharp?

15:08Well, 15 years ago, Horace Stackhouse died in extremely mysterious circumstances.

15:09Stackhouse?

15:10Would that be the Stackhouse of Durham's firm?

15:13The same.

15:14Shortly after Stackhouse's death, his widow married Durham's firm.

15:15The same.

15:16Shortly after Stackhouse's death, his widow married Durham's firm.

15:17And the widow is Betty's mother, presumably.

15:18Indeed.

15:19In the case, the widow's mother is Betty's mother.

15:20Indeed.

15:21In the case, if she was a woman, the widow is Betty's firm.

15:23Which is 57.

15:24Do you believe Durham is the murderer, Holmes?

15:26Yes.

15:27Why are you so sharp?

15:29Well, 15 years ago, Horace Stackhouse died in extremely mysterious circumstances.

15:34Stackhouse?

15:35Would that be the Stackhouse of Durham's firm?

15:38Durham's firm? The same. Shortly after Stackhurst's death, his widow married Durham. And the widow

15:45is Betty's mother, I presume? Indeed she was. But the mother herself died within a year, and

15:51Betty inherited a great fortune. Durham was appointed guardian until such a time as Betty

15:56married. Oh, I'm beginning to understand. Tell me, Holmes, have you solved the mystery of

16:03women's dying words yet? The singing violin? Oh, well that's really very easily explained

16:08once and now that the... Ah, here we are. Holmes! Holmes! It was just like Holmes to leave me in the middle of an

16:27unfinished explanation, bursting with curiosity. But there was nothing I could do about it except wait

16:33for his return. I waited up for him until midnight, finally retired without seeing him. And when

16:40I wake him the next morning, he was already gone. I didn't see him again until shortly before

16:45ten o'clock.

16:47Hello, where have you been? Do you mind going to the window, Watson? What? I've got a surprise

16:54for you. Oh, go on. All right.

16:59Well, not yet, Watson. Now, turn around. Now, keep looking into the street. That's better.

17:08Ah, ah, ah, now. Won't be a minute now. All right. Turn around.

17:16Well, what? A singing violin. Well, that's fantastic. Yes, a fiend with a diabolical mind, our Mr.

17:21Durham. Soap on the bow so that no sound should come from it. And this.

17:28Come along, Watson. Where to?

17:29Well, what?

17:30Well, what? A singing violin. Well, that's fantastic. Yes, a fiend with a diabolical mind, our Mr.

17:46Durham. Soap on the bow so that no sound should come from it. And this. Come along, Watson.

17:53Where to?

17:55To complete a plan which this time only you can effect.

17:58Oh, really?

17:59After you.

18:20Ha-ha, John Murdock!

18:22So I found you at last, eh?

18:26What?

18:28You've been making advances to my wife

18:31and I am going to thrash you within an inch of your life!

18:36Wait a minute. You've got the wrong man.

18:39Don't you loiter me!

18:42I'm not John Murdock, I tell you.

18:45Oh, there's a lunatic loose.

18:47Ah, so it's a fighter, what is it?

18:49I've heard about men like you before.

18:51You don't smile at your last smile, my boy getting back upon.

19:03My answer is final, Dudham.

19:05I didn't mind certifying your stepdaughter as insane.

19:08But I draw the line at murder.

19:14If you want her killed, do it yourself.

19:20Very well, Marino.

19:22I will.

19:24But you will have to sign the death certificate.

19:26That I'll do.

19:30An overdose of morphia would be the best way.

19:34I'll prepare a hypodermic for you.

19:40She's under sedation now.

19:43And shouldn't give you any trouble.

19:46What room is she in?

19:47Number four.

19:49Something's happening out there.

19:51Let it wait.

19:53Give me the hypodermic.

20:17Go for it.

20:19I'll do it.

20:20I'll do it.

20:21Let it be.

20:23I have no idea.

20:28Go for it.

20:29I'll do it.

20:31Give me a favor.

20:33It's just a quality.

20:37You want to go!

20:39You want to pick up your eyes?

20:41You want to pick up your eyes?

23:18Durham, Durham, do you hear me?

23:19Don't dare touch that girl! Don't you dare touch her!

23:22Or by all I hold sacred, I'll kill you!

23:24Durham, Durham, do you hear me?

23:28Durham, Durham, do you hear me?

23:30Durham!

23:32Durham!

23:34Durham!

23:36Durham!

23:40Durham, Durham, do you seen me lung collections?

23:42Durham!

23:43No.

23:46tag

23:57Dr. Marino brought up reinforcements.

24:02When I came here to announce at your summons,

24:04I found Dr. Watson fighting with four men.

24:07Must say he was holding his own.

24:09Now, will somebody please tell me what this is all about?

24:11Nothing would give me greater pleasure, Inspector.

24:13May I introduce Mr. Guy Durham, your murderer?

24:17What?

24:27Well, of course, Watson. I knew Betty was in danger when Durham mentioned Marino.

24:33I met him before and knew he wasn't a doctor but a charlatan.

24:37Tell me, Watson, how did Betty take the news of Jimmy's death?

24:41It came as a terrible shock to her, I'm afraid.

24:43Poor girl broke down completely.

24:47Well, she's young. She'll recover.

24:50And youth has a way of overcoming tragedy.

24:57Oh, confound it. I completely forgot that I soaped this bow.

25:16It'll be days before I can play again.

25:19Really?

25:21A wonderful invention, sir.

25:24It has 70 uses.
