OH NO S HISTORICAL I FEEL LIKE I SAID >> NOW KITTY you're imagining things is just you go back to bed >> that's what I said sir only there is this >> the gorilla's home >> should I call the police sir >> please yes call them right Just a minute.

[00:04:35]I'll handle this my own way.

[00:04:37]>> Yes, sir. Only only what?

[00:04:39]>> I was thinking of the time, sir.

[00:04:41]>> Time?

[00:04:41]>> According to the newspapers, the gorilla gives his victim only 24 hours notice.

[00:04:47]>> Oh, nonsense. Now, you go back to bed and don't worry about this.

[00:04:52]>> Back to bed? Who me?

[00:04:53]>> Oh, don't go back to bed. I'm not particularly interested where you go.

[00:04:56]>> Oh, well, Mr. Sean. Yes, but >> I Hello.

[00:05:04]Oh, now come please.

[00:05:08]Just a minute. That'll be all. Yes, sir.

[00:05:11]>> Yeah, but >> I wouldn't be frightened like that if I were you, kid.

[00:05:14]>> Look, you'll be frightened any way you want. This is my way.

[00:05:24]>> Hello.

[00:05:26]I begged you not to telephone me here.

[00:05:28]Yes, I know. I promised, but you gave me until Monday, Saturday, tomorrow, that's impossible.

[00:05:37]I can't possibly raise that amount of money. Yes, I know I owe it to you, but a quarter of a million dollars.

[00:05:46]Be reasonable.

[00:05:49]Oh, please be patient.

[00:05:51]I have a plan, but it's only just started. Give me time to work it out and I'll repay you dollar for dollar.

[00:05:59]Hello.

[00:06:24]I want to send a radiogram, please.

[00:06:27]>> To whom is the radio going please?

[00:06:30]>> Miss Norma Denby Diaz in Denver aboard SS Paris.

[00:06:37]Regret unable to meet you at boat.

[00:06:41]Vitally important that I see you at my home tomorrow evening without fail.

[00:06:47]Sign it fondly.

[00:06:50]Uncle Walter, read that back, please.

[00:07:22]I'm Norma Dembi.

[00:07:29]>> Mr. Stevens is expecting you, Miss Dembi.

[00:07:33]>> May I take your coat?

[00:07:34]>> Oh, no. Thank you. I'll keep it all.

[00:07:39]>> Nice cozy little place your uncle has here. He likes it.

[00:07:43]>> He had to live in it. This way, please.

[00:07:52]>> Well, well, well, if it isn't the prodigal niece.

[00:07:57]>> Oh, it's well seeing you again, darling.

[00:07:59]>> Good to see you again, too, dear.

[00:08:01]>> I took the liberty of bringing along my conquest.

[00:08:03]>> Good. I'm glad you did.

[00:08:04]>> This is Jack, Uncle Walder.

[00:08:05]>> This niece of mine isn't much of a correspondent. What a few letters she did write, though, were full of you.

[00:08:09]Congratulations, young man.

[00:08:11]>> Thank you. And I hope you'll excuse me for barging in like this.

[00:08:13]>> Nonsense. I'm delighted. I was more than pleasantly surprised to hear that you set your marriage for June. Do you realize it's only a month away?

[00:08:20]>> Well, we decided we didn't want to rush things too much. So >> So Oh, we put it off until >> the day after tomorrow.

[00:08:27]>> The day after tomorrow.

[00:08:28]>> Does that startle you?

[00:08:30]>> Why? Why? No, no, that's fine. That's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about, but I'm forgetting my role as host. Sit down, my dear. Sit down.

[00:08:42]>> We may as well come to the point.

[00:08:44]>> Perhaps you'd rather talk to Norma alone, Mr. >> No, no, no, no, not at all. As Norma's future husband, what I have to say concerns you, too. Now, as Norma knows, she and I were named joint heirs under the terms of her father's will, and until she marries, I am the executive of her estate. But should anything happen to either of us, by then, the survivor inherited the entire estate. And I think that you, Norma, and you, Jack, as her future husband, should know of what that estate consists. To that end, I prepared a record of the estate's holdings, and I want to talk it over with you both after dinner.

[00:09:19]>> But your radiogram said there was something urgent.

[00:09:22]>> Well, uh, if it hadn't been urgent, I I wouldn't have sent it.

[00:09:28]>> Something's worrying you. What is it, Uncle?

[00:09:30]>> Well, perhaps I'm unduly alarmed, but last night I received this note of warning.

[00:09:38]from the gorilla.

[00:09:39]>> The gorilla?

[00:09:42]>> You mean that murderer, the one the papers have been so full of?

[00:09:44]>> I do.

[00:09:46]>> But isn't it possible that this is all just a joke? That someone's playing a prank on you?

[00:09:51]>> I wish I could think so.

[00:09:52]>> But Uncle Walder, why should he anyone want to kill you?

[00:09:55]>> I don't know. Oh, it's possible some old enemy of mine. I admit I've made enemies in my day. It's possible that one of them in a spirit of revenge has hired this this maniac, this professional killer or whatever the gorilla is.

[00:10:09]>> This note is exactly like the one that was in the newspapers after he murdered that widow.

[00:10:14]>> Stella, I can't bring myself to believe it. Of course, you've notified the police.

[00:10:20]>> No, I haven't.

[00:10:21]>> But surely if there was anything in all this, >> I've taken another precautions. Peters and I are armed, and in addition, I've engaged the services of a private detective agency. Their operative should be here any moment now.

[00:10:32]>> Well, obviously this gorilla is no ordinary murderer at all. And judging by his past uh shall we say uh successes, it is apparent that the workings of the police were an open book to him. Of course, there's a slim chance that by not notifying the police, we might upset his plans.

[00:10:49]>> Ordinarily, I'm not easily frightened, but I must admit this whole affair is giving me the creeps.

[00:10:55]>> Well, it's nearly 9:00, and I suppose you freshen up a bit. We talk it over after dinner.

[00:11:03]>> Okay. Show Miss De to the green room.

[00:11:06]Mr. Marsd into my room.

[00:11:07]>> Yes, sir.

[00:11:08]>> Don't worry. You're gold.

[00:11:12]>> Oh, excuse me, Mr. Stevens.

[00:11:14]>> Yes, Kitty.

[00:11:15]>> Oh, I know it's customary to give notice.

[00:11:18]>> Why Kitty? You're not trying to tell me you're going to leave me?

[00:11:20]>> Oh, no, sir. I'm trying to tell you I have left you.

[00:11:22]>> But Kitty, you're perfectly safe here.

[00:11:24]Besides, we have guests. You happen to have to leave me now.

[00:11:28]>> Well, my heart is willing, but I'm going to have an awful time trying to convince the rest of my body.

[00:12:08]I'll bet there's a dead body in every room.

[00:12:10]>> That battery won't reach you. Can't do you any good.

[00:12:14]>> Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.

[00:12:17]We'll get it. You get the repetit tonight, chief.

[00:12:24]>> Make it not that. Uh, keep doing that once in a while. It keeps me on edge and thinking right >> now. What do you suppose they want detectives for?

[00:12:30]>> I've got an idea. Uh, let's go in and find out.

[00:12:33]>> You're terrific.

[00:12:40]Jo, speak easy.

[00:12:49]Who are you?

[00:12:50]>> Me? Why? I'm Peter, sir.

[00:12:53]>> Never mind that. Never mind that. What's your name?

[00:12:55]>> Peter, sir.

[00:12:56]>> Just a minute. Just a minute. Where were you last night?

[00:13:00]>> I beg you pardon.

[00:13:01]>> Oh, so you did do something. I don't like your looks.

[00:13:04]>> What's that got to do with it? This is no beauty contest.

[00:13:25]Who's Stevens?

[00:13:26]>> I am.

[00:13:26]>> I'm Harrian.

[00:13:27]>> I'm Mulligan.

[00:13:28]>> I'm Gedity.

[00:13:29]>> Hagan. Mulligan.

[00:13:31]>> Garedity.

[00:13:34]>> I sent for you because I need protection. My life's been threatened.

[00:13:37]>> Now tell me any clues? One very vital one. This warning from the gorilla.

[00:13:41]>> That's where you've got nothing to worry about.

[00:13:43]>> Mark that down, Gary.

[00:13:44]>> Right.

[00:13:45]>> How do you spell gorilla? Two Rs or two L's? Gorilla. Gorilla. G O R G O G O.

[00:13:54]Gorilla.

[00:13:56]Did Did you Did you [clears throat] Did you say gorilla?

[00:14:02]>> Why gentlemen, you're not afraid?

[00:14:05]>> Lord, maybe. Thank you. A gorilla coming here.

[00:14:09]>> It was nice to have met you, MR. STEVENS.

[00:14:11]>> QUIET.

[00:14:12]QUIET.

[00:14:15]>> I I've already taken the precaution of arming my servant to myself, and I think you'll find that every door dorm window is securely bolted.

[00:14:22]>> I couldn't have done better myself. With us on the job, Mr. Stevens, you've got nothing to worry about.

[00:14:27]>> What's your plan, Mr. Hatigan?

[00:14:28]>> Well, first we'll take a look around the house. Come on, man. Now, you just sit tight, Mr. Stevens. The gorilla will get you over our dead bodies.

[00:14:49]Jack.

[00:14:50]>> Yes, darling.

[00:14:51]>> Who are those men?

[00:14:52]>> Probably the detectives your uncle hired.

[00:14:54]>> Jack, I'm terribly worried. What are we going to do?

[00:14:57]>> Well, it seems there isn't anything we can do yet. Listen, darling. It isn't that I'm trying to appear skeptical.

[00:15:04]It's just that well somehow I can't make myself believe all this.

[00:15:07]>> But that note, you saw the note.

[00:15:09]>> Of course I did. But still I Look, darling, we'll wait. We'll wait and see if something really does happen.

[00:15:16]>> But what if it does?

[00:15:17]>> I just don't believe it will.

[00:15:21]>> Jack, excuse me, sir. I tried to put your car away, but unfortunately there's something wrong with it.

[00:15:37]>> What do you mean?

[00:15:38]>> It won't start. Excuse me, sir.

[00:15:45]>> Gives me the creeps.

[00:15:47]>> He doesn't exactly give me an appetite, either. I wouldn't let him worry me if I were you.

[00:15:51]>> Honestly, darling, don't you think there's any cause for alarm?

[00:15:54]>> Afraid I don't.

[00:16:03]Oh, there you are. Another sherry before dinner.

[00:16:06]>> Thank you. Now, >> Uncle Walder, how long have you had that butler? Not very long. Why?

[00:16:29]>> Well, are you sure he's all right?

[00:16:30]>> I found him. So why?

[00:16:32]>> Well, because I >> Dinner is served, sir.

[00:16:37]>> Oh, shall we go in?

[00:16:47]>> You'd better drink a little of that, kitty. It'll quiet your nerves.

[00:16:50]>> Why? Can you hear them? Oh, here. Take it. What my nerves really need is a good long trip. Here.

[00:17:05]>> Now, look here. Where were you last night?

[00:17:07]>> Me? Why? I >> answer yes or no.

[00:17:09]>> I was there.

[00:17:09]>> How are you doing there?

[00:17:10]>> Doing where?

[00:17:11]>> Well, how do we know? Besides, I don't like your looks.

[00:17:14]>> Did you ever take a good look at yourself?

[00:17:15]>> YEAH. DID YOU EVER TAKE A look here?

[00:17:17]Now, wait a minute. You Where were you last night?

[00:17:20]>> I spent the night with Shakespeare.

[00:17:22]>> Yeah. Where is he?

[00:17:23]>> He's dead.

[00:17:25]>> Dead. dead. A murder mystery. Have you any idea who did it?

[00:17:29]>> Look, SHAKESPEARE'S BEEN DEAD HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

[00:17:33]>> This is a fine time to call us in on the case.

[00:17:36]>> Say, but she couldn't have done it.

[00:17:37]>> How do you know?

[00:17:38]>> She can't be hundreds of years old.

[00:17:40]>> That's right.

[00:17:40]>> Mark that down, Gary.

[00:17:42]>> Yeah. What do we do now, Chief?

[00:17:43]>> Well, you two have a look out there.

[00:17:44]I'll look here.

[00:17:45]>> Yeah.

[00:17:58]What's this?

[00:17:59]>> That's a door. It leads to the back stairs.

[00:18:02]>> Back stairs. Well, remind me to have a look up there sometime.

[00:18:12]>> That's an ironing board.

[00:18:14]>> Yes, that's an ironing board. Look. Do you want this thing?

[00:18:20]>> Certainly we want it. What do you think we iron on?

[00:18:22]>> Yeah. Why?

[00:18:24]>> Well, here. TAKE IT.

[00:18:27]HARRIAN, COME IN HERE. WE FOUND IT.

[00:18:30]>> YOU FOUND WHAT? THE MYSTERY.

[00:18:32]>> WELL, that's hash. Ain't that a mystery?

[00:18:34]>> It's a pretty good tight, chief. I'll be the judge of that.

[00:18:37]>> I'm afraid, gentlemen, you won't find the gorilla in there.

[00:18:42]>> Why will we not find the gorilla in there? Now listen you. I Let that be a lesson to you.

[00:18:57]>> Perhaps you gentlemen had better look outside for a clue.

[00:19:01]>> Maybe he killed Shakespeare.

[00:19:03]>> Mark that dog dirty.

[00:19:04]>> Yeah.

[00:19:08]>> Look, how do you get out of here?

[00:19:10]>> That's what I'd like to know.

[00:19:11]>> AND WHERE'S THE BACK DOOR?

[00:19:12]>> IN BACK OF YOU.

[00:19:13]>> IN BACK OF ME?

[00:19:23]Don't you recall that the paper said the gorilla always sends a warning to as many as half a dozen people at the same time to sort of throw the police off.

[00:19:30]>> Maybe that's what he's doing now.

[00:19:32]Perhaps it's just a ruse.

[00:19:34]>> Well, let's hope so. You know, it's wonderful how much more optimistic a good dinner can make one feel. Shall we have leakers in the study?

[00:19:49]demonstrate us alive quickly.

[00:19:51]>> Jack, what happened?

[00:19:54]>> Hello, are you here?

[00:19:56]>> I know. No, I I don't know what happened.

[00:20:00]>> Look here. It seems to have been thrown in through that window.

[00:20:07]>> Oh, God. What are we going to do?

[00:20:12]The first thing we're going to do, or rather Jack is going to do, is to take you away from here.

[00:20:16]>> Well, you're coming with us.

[00:20:22][screaming] >> IT'S HIM. IT'S HIM. I'll go order.

[00:20:27]>> Who is it?

[00:20:31]>> Oh, it's all right. He's one of those detectives. Need to give me a turn.

[00:20:37]Did >> you see that face? I bet when he gets drunk, snakes see him.

[00:20:42]What's the use getting us off to jail?

[00:20:44]>> I'm just trying to let you know I'm not the gorilla.

[00:20:49]This is my niece and her fianceé, Mr. Migan, Mulligan, and Gary.

[00:20:56]>> This battle seems to be much more serious than I thought. I've just received this from the gorilla.

[00:21:01]>> A note. Who brought it?

[00:21:03]>> No one brought it. Just throw me through that window.

[00:21:06]>> Through that window? Through that window?

[00:21:12]He's right. Wait a minute.

[00:21:16]This is my good ear.

[00:21:20]>> Oh, say that's right. You can't kid us.

[00:21:22]WE WERE OUTSIDE PATROLLING THE GROUNDS.

[00:21:24]>> WHAT DO you mean?

[00:21:25]>> I know it couldn't have come through that window.

[00:21:27]>> But why not?

[00:21:28]>> Well, I'll just share. Stand back, ma'am.

[00:21:33]That's why.

[00:21:34]>> But it was wrapped around a stone.

[00:21:35]>> A stone? A stone? WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU KNOW about the stain?

[00:21:40]>> I don't know anything about it. We were preparing to leave the room and suddenly the lights went out and then there was a crash and >> Oh, so the lights went out. Huh? Make a note of that, Gertie.

[00:21:49]>> Right.

[00:21:50]>> You were outside a few minutes ago.

[00:21:51]Didn't you see anybody?

[00:21:53]>> Nobody but us.

[00:21:54]>> See, this note says at midnight.

[00:21:55]>> At midnight?

[00:21:56]>> Yeah.

[00:21:56]>> What time is it now? It's 10:30. I got 11:10.

[00:21:59]>> I got 11:30. It's exactly 11:45.

[00:22:04]>> Remind me to put some hands on this watch.

[00:22:06]>> Yes. Well, make a note of that, darling.

[00:22:07]>> Right. Now look, the gorilla's after Stevens. We'll have to keep an eye on him. Everybody under the study. Come on, let's go.

[00:22:14]>> Uh, who said that if you give a criminal enough rope, he'll hang himself?

[00:22:18]>> You, chief.

[00:22:18]>> Oh, that's where I heard it before. Come on.

[00:23:41]Now that you're all here, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY to move. Understand?

[00:23:44]>> Is it all right if I breathe?

[00:23:46]>> Yes, but come right back.

[00:23:48]>> Quiet.

[00:23:48]>> Personally, I don't believe the grill is coming here.

[00:23:51]>> Neither do I.

[00:23:52]>> Why not? I'LL GIVE YOU THREE good reasons, pal. Harrian, Mulligan, and Gity.

[00:23:57]>> It ain't enough.

[00:24:00]>> NOW LOOK HERE. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE NO >> YEAH, YOU wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[00:24:03]I'll handle this. Yeah, but listen.

[00:24:09]>> You have received the gorilla's warning.

[00:24:11]Walter Stevens, you've just 5 minutes to live.

[00:24:14]>> Oh, Uncle Walter. Jack, excuse me.

[00:24:18]>> Now, where are you going?

[00:24:19]>> I'm getting out OF HERE.

[00:24:20]>> THERE'S NO DOOR THERE.

[00:24:21]>> OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL MAKE ONE.

[00:24:22]GOODBYE.

[00:24:23]>> GET HIM OVER THERE. QUIET. QUIET EVERYBODY.

[00:24:28][clears throat] >> Did you hear that?

[00:24:44]>> I wish I didn't.

[00:24:46]>> He's up there, man.

[00:24:49]Where are you going? I SAID HE'S UP THERE.

[00:24:51]>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT YOU SAID.

[00:24:52]QUIET.

[00:25:01]>> ALL RIGHT, MAN. FOLLOW ME.

[00:25:06]STICK THEM UP. I GOT YOU COVERED.

[00:25:37]What happened? What was >> Nothing. Nothing at all.

[00:25:53]Hey, did you just pass here?

[00:25:56]>> Yes.

[00:25:58]>> Yes, of course. I brought a trunk down from the attic.

[00:26:01]>> A trunk?

[00:26:01]>> Yes.

[00:26:02]>> Were we here?

[00:26:03]>> I couldn't say.

[00:26:06]>> Well, maybe we're not here now.

[00:26:09]>> Maybe.

[00:26:10]>> Maybe.

[00:26:13]>> It's 2 minutes of 12. What about Uncle Walder?

[00:26:16]>> Uncle Walder? Yes. Uncle, uncle, we're just >> going in.

[00:26:22]>> Now, everybody stay just where you are. Mig, you watch those doors, Gary. You watch that one.

[00:26:28]Mr. Stevens, you've got got nothing to worry about.

[00:26:32]>> I wish I thought so.

[00:26:33]>> Me, TOO.

[00:26:37]>> You have one more minute, Walter Stevens.

[00:27:11]I can't stand it any longer. I can't.

[00:27:13]You've got to call the police. You've got to.

[00:27:15]>> Mr. Stevens, I'm sorry, but Norm is right. I don't know what this is all about, but certainly if there's something to it, the police ought to know about it.

[00:27:22]>> I no longer know what to think. Perhaps you better.

[00:27:26]>> Hello. Hello.

[00:27:32]Oh, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

[00:27:42]>> [screaming] >> LIKE SOMEBODY GARY, it's me.

[00:27:50]>> Uncle Walder, he's gone.

[00:27:53]>> How can he BE GONE WHEN EVERY DAWN WINDOW IN THIS ROOM HAS BEEN LOCKED?

[00:27:56]WELL, GOING TO CHECK THOSE WINDOWS.

[00:27:57]GARY, CHECK THE DOOR.

[00:28:01]How did you get in here?

[00:28:03]>> Why? Through this door, sir.

[00:28:04]>> How can you when the doors are locked?

[00:28:05]>> I beg you, pardon. It was not locked.

[00:28:07]>> I locked it myself.

[00:28:09]>> It is locked. That leaves us dead locked.

[00:28:11]>> It would be impossible for me to walk through the woodwork.

[00:28:14]>> Why? Termites do.

[00:28:16]>> Oh, this isn't GETTING US ANYWHERE.

[00:28:17]>> NOW, LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME. IT REALLY AIN'T GOING TO MAKE A MONKEY OUT OF ME.

[00:28:23]>> NOW, you come on, boys.

[00:28:34]Where do these stairs lead to? TO THE BEDROOMS. MON, YOU HAVE A LOOK UPSTAIRS.

[00:28:38]MARS AND YOU COME WITH ME. WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AROUND THE GROUNDS. YOU TWO LOOK IN THE SERVANTS WING >> WITH THE GORILLA PROWLING AROUND. NOT ME.

[00:28:44]>> WELL, ALL RIGHT. THEN COME WITH ME.

[00:28:45]>> OH, NEVER MIND. I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES with the other gorilla.

[00:28:48]>> Wait a minute. We can't leave Miss Denver here alone.

[00:28:53]>> Well, what are you waiting for?

[00:28:54]>> I don't know, but I wish I could think of something.

[00:28:56]>> Me, too. I'll go on.

[00:28:58]>> Don't worry, darling.

[00:28:59]>> Oh, that's all right. I'll do all the worrying.

[00:29:02]>> Marston, come with me.

[00:29:05]>> Oh, well, you first, sir. Thank you very much.

[00:29:10]>> Why could this have all happened tomorrow?

[00:29:12]>> What difference would that make?

[00:29:14]>> Tomorrow is my day off.

[00:29:16]>> Poor Uncle Walter. Right from under our very eyes. I don't understand how he got out of here.

[00:29:23]>> All that's worrying me is how I'm going to get OUT OF HERE.

[00:29:27]>> [screaming] >> OH, IT'S HIM. IT'S HIM. I SEEN HIM. I SEEN HIM. IT'S THE GORILLA. I SEE HIM.

[00:29:33]>> WHAT'S UP?

[00:29:34]>> I SEEN HIM. IT'S THE GORILLA. I TELL YOU, HE'S IN THAT CLOSET THERE.

[00:29:37]>> OH, JACK. I'M SO FRIGHTENED.

[00:29:38]>> ALL RIGHT. COME ON OUT THERE. YOU GET HIM, MULLIGAN. YOU heard him, Gary. What did he say?

[00:29:43]>> Are you sure it wasn't a hallucination?

[00:29:46]>> Not unless an hallucination has hair on it.

[00:29:48]>> Come on.

[00:29:51]>> Now, ready? YEAH, [screaming] >> is is he dead?

[00:29:58]>> Who is he?

[00:29:59]>> I never seen him before.

[00:30:01]>> Do you know him?

[00:30:02]>> No, sir. And this is no time for no introductions.

[00:30:05]>> He's not dead.

[00:30:07]>> Hey, mark that down too. Right.

[00:30:08]>> Come on, darling. We're getting out of here. I'm afraid now too for you.

[00:30:11]>> I'm afraid now too for me.

[00:30:13]>> Well, Jack, it's horrible. I don't know what to make of it.

[00:30:16]>> Now, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IS AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. I KNOW MR. STEVENS IS AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. AND IF YOU ALL LOOK, WE'LL FIND HIM SOMEWHERE.

[00:30:23]>> WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

[00:30:24]>> SOMEWHERE.

[00:30:25]>> All right, man. Take him upstairs.

[00:30:27]>> Come on, Gary.

[00:30:28]>> You lead the way.

[00:30:35]>> I'll take care of him. Kitty, get a basin of hot water. Do you mind if I go out of town and get it?

[00:30:39]>> You and I have a look around the house.

[00:30:41]>> Wait a minute. There's something funny about this. Kitty said she saw the gorilla's arm. We open the closet and find the sailor's body. Now, how did the body get in there? And how did the gorilla get out without her seeing him?

[00:30:52]>> That's just what I was about to ask you.

[00:30:56]>> Stevens was sitting right here in this chair until the lights went out.

[00:31:01]>> Gorilla la.

[00:31:07]>> That's funny.

[00:31:09]>> What's morning?

[00:31:10]>> Nothing. I think I'll have a look around this house.

[00:31:12]>> Have a look around the house. Yes, we'll have have a look around the house. Yeah, I'll go too.

[00:31:19]Hey, that guy won't talk.

[00:31:21]>> Why not?

[00:31:21]>> He's still unconscious.

[00:31:22]>> You're unconscious and you talk.

[00:31:24]>> That's great, Chief. Mark that down, Gary. Right.

[00:31:27]>> What do we do now?

[00:31:27]>> Well, first we'll have to reenact the crime.

[00:31:29]>> Well, how do we do that?

[00:31:30]>> Now, let's see. When the lights went out, Stevens was sitting in that chair.

[00:31:34]>> You're Stevens. Sit down.

[00:31:36]>> I'm Steven. Close the doors.

[00:31:40]>> Hey, I'M GITY. YOU'RE STEVENS. NOW SIT DOWN. I'LL WAIT FOR LIGHTS. ONE.

[00:31:48]TWO. THREE.

[00:31:54]That's no use.

[00:31:56]I don't know WHAT WORKS FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULDN'T WORK FOR ME. But that's what I've been trying to tell you. He's gone.

[00:32:04]>> Is he gone? GONE. GITY. GITY. NOW WE HAVE two mysteries to solve.

[00:32:11]>> Look, I've got an idea.

[00:32:12]>> What is it?

[00:32:12]>> If we can find out how Gity disappeared, we'll find out what happened to Stevens.

[00:32:16]>> It's a very good idea. Should have thought of that myself. All right, we'll reenact the crime. Sit down. But I'm not tired. You have to be tired to sit down.

[00:32:24]>> I do. YOU MAKE ME TIRED.

[00:32:26]>> WELL, THEN WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN? If I sit down, who's going to work the lights?

[00:32:30]>> I never thought of that.

[00:32:31]>> Yeah, well, sit down.

[00:32:32]>> Yeah, sit down.

[00:32:33]>> Sit down.

[00:32:38]>> One, two, three.

[00:32:47]MULLIGAN.

[00:32:50]MULLIGAN.

[00:32:52]>> Did you lose something?

[00:32:53]>> Yes. Mulligan and Gary.

[00:32:55]>> Hang on there.

[00:32:57]>> Now look, sit down.

[00:32:58]>> Oh, I don't want to sit down.

[00:33:00]>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU'LL SIT DOWN AND LIKE IT.

[00:33:02]>> WELL, ALL RIGHT. I'LL SIT DOWN, BUT I won't like it.

[00:33:04]>> Y >> What are you going to do?

[00:33:07]>> What I'm going to do ain't important.

[00:33:09]>> WELL, WHAT AM I going to do?

[00:33:12]That's just what I want to find out.

[00:33:24]One, two.

[00:33:30]Two and a two.

[00:33:32]Two. Two.

[00:33:37]THREE.

[00:33:40]>> [screaming] >> DID I hear somebody scream?

[00:33:44]>> Well, if you didn't, you ought to have your EARS CLEANED OUT. SAY, WHERE'S MR. HARRIAN, THE DETECTIVE? HE'S DISAPPEARED.

[00:33:51]>> DISAPPEARED? WHAT A PITY.

[00:33:54]>> KY, how did you get in here? WE WHY YOU OH, >> BUT DON'T BE FRIGHTENED. You're safe in me.

[00:34:05]>> Safe in you and my eye. WHO WANTS TO BE SAFE?

[00:34:10]I'M VERY SOCIALABLE. I WANT TO GO WITH HIS PEOPLE.

[00:35:08]Where am I?

[00:35:20]>> Hey, what's the matter? What's happened?

[00:35:23]enough.

[00:35:25]I'm standing here and all of a sudden everything goes black. Next thing I know, I'm here.

[00:35:33]>> That's funny.

[00:35:36]>> Hello. Hello. I'm I'm sorry I kept you waiting. No, no, you turn on Willow Drive off Highway 22 and hurry, will you? Thank you.

[00:35:44]>> Look, it ain't human. I tell you, it ain't human.

[00:35:48]What isn't human?

[00:35:50]>> For a guy to be standing here one minute and the next minute he's gone.

[00:35:55]>> WHO'S GONE?

[00:35:56]>> I'M GONE. THEY'RE GONE. EVERYBODY'S GONE. It don't make sense.

[00:36:00]>> Certainly doesn't. Will you have a cigarette?

[00:36:02]>> I don't mind if I kidnap me right from under his very eyes.

[00:36:07]>> Who does?

[00:36:08]>> The gorilla.

[00:36:13]Hey, who are you?

[00:36:17]What do you want? What are you doing here? Listen, old man, you got me all wrong. I I just came in to use the telephone. You see, my car broke down.

[00:36:25]>> That phone?

[00:36:26]>> Yes.

[00:36:26]>> Look, that phone is out of order.

[00:36:29]>> Is it?

[00:36:30]>> Yes.

[00:36:35]>> Number, please.

[00:36:37]>> Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.

[00:36:39]>> Now, wait a minute. YOU YOU'RE THE GUY WE'RE LOOKING FOR. YOU'RE THE GORILLA.

[00:36:42]>> SURELY YOU DON'T THINK I'M the gorilla.

[00:36:44]>> I stopped thinking 2 hours ago.

[00:36:46]>> YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[00:36:46]>> I DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

[00:36:48]>> Shall I try it?

[00:36:49]>> Oh, YOU'VE TRIED ENOUGH. NOW GET HIM UP.

[00:37:55]>> The gorilla? I tell you, it wasn't my fault. He came in and hit me. It was Did I leave him in there?

[00:38:15]>> Oh, look. Fell walks right in. It was the gorilla, I tell you.

[00:38:19]>> He stopped to use that phone.

[00:38:22]>> Lucky thing for him. You had your handcuffs with you.

[00:38:25]>> Where is he? Where'd he go?

[00:38:26]>> Where is he? I'M THE VICTIM. HOW SHOULD I know?

[00:38:28]>> Look, boys. I'm telling you, he walked in. Six of them. Six big gorillas. They attacked me. Hit me right on my crawl though. Look at that lump.

[00:38:50]>> Well, are you?

[00:38:52]>> Who belongs to this?

[00:38:53]>> What is it?

[00:38:54]>> A coat.

[00:38:54]>> Why? Gorillas wear coats.

[00:38:56]>> Sure they do. Fur coats. There's >> something screwy about all this. Look, if there's anything screwy about this, it's me. It's me. But I'll soon find out. Each of you grab a wall. What do we do with it? MULLIGAN, YOU TAKE THAT ONE.

[00:40:10]>> You don't understand. These gentlemen are detectives.

[00:40:12]>> Detectives?

[00:40:13]What are you trying to pull on me? I talked to Stevens on the telephone last night. He told me he had a plan to pay his debt.

[00:40:18]>> Plan?

[00:40:19]>> Yes. Said he'd only just started working on it.

[00:40:21]>> But did he tell you what this plan is?

[00:40:23]>> I wasn't interested. He was to square up with me here tonight.

[00:40:28]When I talked to him, he wanted a couple of days more to raise the money that he owes me. Now, where is he? Well, >> Mr. Stevens been kidnapped by the gorilla.

[00:40:34]>> Kidnapped by Poppy NOW, LOOK HERE.

[00:40:38]I don't know who any of you are, but I do know this. Walder Stevens OWES ME $250,000 and I'm going to collect it tonight or else.

[00:40:48]>> No, YOU DON'T, BUDDY. HOW DO WE KNOW YOU'RE SAY, WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?

[00:40:52]>> I'M ONE OF STEVEN'S CLIENTS. I have proof that Stevens has been stealing from his client's accounts for over a year. I gave him until tonight to return my money, and I'm not going to leave this house UNTIL I GET IT.

[00:41:04]>> YEAH, BUT WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

[00:41:07]>> I think he's mad, >> Jack. If what that man says is true, I I don't believe Uncle Walter could >> It's almost impossible to know what to believe, darling. Yet, things are adding up. If your uncle did have a plan, if this business of sending for you was part of the plan, I >> take her upstairs and keep an eye on her. This has gone far enough. It's gone too far. It's even gone further than that.

[00:41:29]>> I'll be all right. It's just too much excitement for one night.

[00:41:32]>> Get your hat and coat, darling. I'm going to see that you get to town if I have to push the car all the way myself.

[00:41:36]>> I can't go till we find Uncle Walter.

[00:41:38]>> We'll take care of that. We'll break this case, won't we, boys?

[00:41:41]>> Well, won't we?

[00:41:42]>> Oh, sure we will. Sure.

[00:41:43]>> Like it was walnuts.

[00:41:47]You know, I feel sorry for that poor girl. Yeah. What about poor us? Strange men zooming in and out. Animals running around like this was a zoo. Crazy going on. I want to go home.

[00:41:55]>> Oh, so you want to go home? I'M ASHAMED OF YOU. I'M ASHAMED OF YOU. YOU WANT TO TAKE A RUN OUT AND LEAVE THAT GIRL HERE TO TAKE THE BLAME ALONE? WE'RE DETECTIVES, AREN'T WE?

[00:42:05]>> ARE WE?

[00:42:07]>> Haven't we looked ALL OVER THIS HOUSE?

[00:42:08]>> YES.

[00:42:09]>> NO. WHERE haven't we looked?

[00:42:10]>> Well, if there's a seller, we haven't looked there.

[00:42:13]>> I'm glad I thought of that. Say, this looks like a cell.

[00:42:15]>> What?

[00:42:19]>> It's locked.

[00:42:19]>> Well, I'll tell you the key.

[00:42:20]>> Oh, yes. Never thought of that.

[00:42:24]>> All right. Come on, man.

[00:42:37]>> Anybody down there?

[00:42:38]>> Uh, yes, we are.

[00:42:41]>> I look for a switch. It's around here somewhere.

[00:42:48]All right, come on out of there. YOU COME ON. GET OUT OF THERE. All right, come on out of there.

[00:42:56]All right, come on out of there.

[00:43:09]>> Mulligan, where are you?

[00:43:11]>> I'm right here, Chief.

[00:43:15]Uh, Gary, where are you? Over here, chief.

[00:43:23]Is anybody with me?

[00:43:25]>> No, you're alone.

[00:43:49]>> [screaming] >> OH, SOMETHING BIT ME. WHAT? First time I saw a monster catch a piece of cheese.

[00:44:03]GET ME HERE. GET ME OUT OF THIS. GET ME OUT OF this thing.

[00:44:08]>> Maybe you'd like a racket. I'll come out. I like the idea.

[00:44:30]>> Now, don't worry. I'll handle this.

[00:44:32]>> It's a pleasure.

[00:44:33]>> Don't worry about it. Okay, buddy. Come on, bud. Get that raccoon coat off. Come on. Get that thing off.

[00:44:42]>> Look, I hit you over the head with this thing.

[00:44:47]>> Well, we've been double crossed.

[00:45:09]Let's get out of here.

[00:45:20]>> Peters.

[00:45:20]>> Yes, sir.

[00:45:21]>> All that commotion sounds like our friends, the detectives. You stay here with Miss Denby. I'll go see what's up.

[00:45:29]contact with them.

[00:46:51]Yeah. Well, never mind that. You take the hall. I'll go this way. I'll stay here.

[00:47:00]Is something wrong?

[00:47:01]>> Where were you?

[00:47:02]>> I just went to get some tea, sir.

[00:47:04]>> Didn't I tell you to stay here with Miss Denby?

[00:47:06]>> I'm very sorry, sir, but I thought perhaps a little tea.

[00:47:09]>> What right have you got to think? We're not even thinking.

[00:47:12]>> Miss Denby might have been killed.

[00:47:14]>> It's a fortunate she wasn't, sir.

[00:47:17]>> Why is it that something always happens when you're not here?

[00:47:21]>> An unfortunate coincidence, sir.

[00:47:25]What did you find?

[00:47:26]>> An empty closet with Harrian in it.

[00:47:34]>> Har. Harrian. Harriet, wake up. Get up.

[00:47:42]>> Okay, man. Follow me.

[00:47:44]>> Okay. Okay. Follow me.

[00:47:51]>> Get down and see where these stairs lead to. Oh, me? Who? Me?

[00:47:55]>> Yes, you.

[00:47:55]>> Oh, me.

[00:47:56]>> It's awful dark. I should have brung my glasses.

[00:47:58]>> You never wear any glasses.

[00:47:59]>> That's right. I forgot.

[00:48:01]>> What's that funny tapping?

[00:48:02]>> Yeah, >> it's my knees.

[00:49:04]I'll do all the talking.

[00:49:06]>> Come on, man. People running into here today. All day long. I've never seen anything like this in all my life.

[00:49:14]Man, where are you going?

[00:49:22]What's eating you?

[00:49:29]>> What? What have you got there?

[00:49:34]That must know something or she wouldn't be running away like that. Make a note of that, GARY.

[00:49:54]GET [screaming] out of here.

[00:50:19]Good evening.

[00:50:19]>> Good evening.

[00:50:22]>> What do you want?

[00:50:23]>> Don't be frightened.

[00:50:24]>> Frightened? Who's frightened? Don't you COME NEAR ME OR I'LL WRAP THIS THING AROUND YOUR NECK LIKE IT WAS A PRETZEL.

[00:50:30]>> THERE'S NOTHING to worry about.

[00:50:32]>> That's what you think.

[00:50:33]>> May I give you some advice?

[00:50:34]>> No.

[00:50:35]>> If I were you, I'd go to my room and stay there. Oh, yes sir. I WAS JUST PLANNING on that.

[00:50:39]>> Wait a minute. Where have you been?

[00:50:41]>> NO PLACE. HONEST. I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO GO TO TOWN.

[00:50:44]>> GOOD.

[00:50:45]>> DON'T OPEN THAT.

[00:50:46]>> WHY NOT?

[00:50:46]>> The gorilla. He's in there.

[00:50:48]>> Don't be silly.

[00:50:55]>> Come on. Get going.

[00:50:57]>> Yes, sir. I'm practically there.

[00:51:47]It ain't a man. It's a gorilla. We saw it and we felt it. When I tell you the gorilla is a man I ought to know. I've read enough about him.

[00:51:54]>> But how could a monkey have possibly written those notes on a wall?

[00:51:57]>> Maybe he's got an education.

[00:52:00]>> Po.

[00:52:01]Po.

[00:52:03]>> Where is he? Have any of you seen him?

[00:52:04]>> Who?

[00:52:05]>> Po?

[00:52:05]>> Who's Po?

[00:52:06]>> Po's the gorilla.

[00:52:07]>> The gorilla? OH, YOU KNOW HIM TOO, HUH?

[00:52:09]>> NO. I trained him since he was that high.

[00:52:10]>> You're just the one we're looking for.

[00:52:12]>> Don't any of you understand? Po is a gorilla. A trained gorilla.

[00:52:15]>> A REAL GORILLA.

[00:52:16]>> YOU'RE A REAL GORILLA.

[00:52:18]>> So we don't know what we're talking about, eh?

[00:52:20]>> Yeah. Now, we know a monkey when we see one.

[00:52:22]>> Listen, this is serious. Po ain't no pet. There's no telling what he's liable to do when I ain't around. Especially with women. He hates women.

[00:52:29]>> But what's he doing here? What are you doing here?

[00:52:31]>> We was hired to come here. We're working at the county fair. Yesterday, a guy comes along. Says he wants me to bring Po here. He says he's giving a party.

[00:52:38]Wants us to put on a rack.

[00:52:39]>> Who hired you?

[00:52:40]>> I don't know. I don't know nothing. All I know is I bring Po here. We're waiting out in the garage like he tells me, waiting to do our stuff. All of a sudden, somebody gives me a clunk over the head and I wake up the lady's budwo.

[00:52:50]>> But the gorilla, how did he get loose?

[00:52:52]>> You're asking me? That's what I want to find out. Listen, this is serious. We got to find him. We got her. Somebody's liable to get killed.

[00:52:58]>> Them notes from the gorilla. If I can get you 50, they are addressed to me.

[00:53:02]>> Notes? Oh, can't write no notes. Even I don't know how to write.

[00:53:05]>> Now look, THE NEXT TIME I BOOK UP AGAINST THAT GORILLA, I'M TELLING YOU, I'll I'll you never know.

[00:53:13]>> Do it.

[00:53:13]>> Listen. Have you seen him?

[00:53:14]>> Yeah, she's in the kitchen. Which way is the kitchen?

[00:53:17]>> Through the panel. We'll go with you.

[00:53:22]>> Listen, you fellas better wait here.

[00:53:23]There's no telling what that April do.

[00:53:26]>> Well, Jack, I'm so confused. A real gorilla and those notes. And >> listen to me, everybody. The gorilla has done his work. Walter Stevens is dead.

[00:53:41]You will find his body in the garage.

[00:53:43]>> Oh, Jack.

[00:53:45]All right, everybody. Follow me to the garage. Come on.

[00:53:51]Come on. Come on.

[00:53:56]>> He's gone. Flo's gone.

[00:53:57]>> I tell YOU, HE'S IN THE KITCHEN.

[00:53:58]>> THE KITCHEN'S A WRECK. HE must be on a rampage.

[00:54:00]>> Out of my way, brother. I got my own brothers to WORRY ABOUT.

[00:54:02]>> ALL RIGHT, ALL OF YOU. OUT OF THE GARAGE. COME ON.

[00:54:06]UH, I'll stay here and protect Miss Denby. This way, please.

[00:54:14]I'll never forgive myself for not calling the police.

[00:54:16]>> Why call the police with us around?

[00:54:18]Lady, >> you couldn't save up the water.

[00:54:20]>> We couldn't. E.

[00:54:21]>> Well, you didn't.

[00:54:22]>> Well, we That's right. We didn't. I got to find out how that gorilla gets in and out of here. There must be a secret spring around here someplace. I think I'll look in bag of these books.

[00:54:40]BELIEVE.

[00:54:51][laughter] Hey Help!

[00:55:31][screaming] HELP!

[00:55:38]SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HERE. SOMEBODY >> DON'T TELL me she hates the gorilla. I told you I didn't like the looks.

[00:55:45]>> Oh, wise guy.

[00:55:46]>> Come on, we got to find the box.

[00:55:50]>> What do I do with them keys?

[00:55:51]>> Look under the mat.

[00:55:54]>> That's funny.

[00:55:55]>> Oh, very funny. WILL YOU GET ME OUT OF HERE?

[00:55:58]>> LISTEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN PO'S CAGE?

[00:56:00]>> WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING? WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FEED ME PEANUTS. GET ME OUT OF HERE.

[00:56:05]>> DON'T YOU KNOW PAUL HATES WOMEN?

[00:56:07]>> SO DOES KIPLING. SO WHAT? WILL YOU PLEASE GET ME OUT OF [screaming] HERE?

[00:56:13]ALL RIGHT. All right. Go get it.

[00:56:14]>> Oh, hey SW.

[00:56:18]>> Say, wait a minute. I think this was a trick to get us out of the house. Come on.

[00:56:24]>> WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?

[00:56:25]>> I'M THE GIRL ESCAPER. ARE YOU GIVE ME A CLER?

[00:56:27]>> NO. IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

[00:56:28]>> OH, YEAH.

[00:56:38]>> LOOK.

[00:56:45]He's got her. Wait, don't go NEAR HIM.

[00:56:47]HE'LL DROP HER. PULL. Bring it down.

[00:56:49]POLE. BRING IT DOWN TO ME. Down pole.

[00:56:52]Down to the ground. Put it down. Pole.

[00:56:57]Down. POLE. DOWN TO THE GROUND. P. Stop it. P. Bring it down. P. BRING IT DOWN TO ME.

[00:57:07]Put it down. P.

[00:57:12]Come on.

[00:57:19]>> WHOA. WHOA. COME BACK HERE. I'LL BE catching Thank you. Thank you.

[00:57:55]He hit me again right here. He hit him alone.

[00:58:06]That's a fine way to treat me after I give you the best years of my life. You act like that. Listen here.

[00:58:16]>> No. No. No kisses. He might have killed somebody.

[00:58:19]>> What do you mean might have?

[00:58:26][screaming] >> It's all right, lady. I got him.

[00:58:29]>> You can keep them.

[00:58:30]>> Okay. Scram and take this character with you. I was only kidding.

[00:58:34]>> Just for that, he gets no cy.

[00:58:36]>> Oh, that's just cy.

[00:58:38]>> Sorry if I cause you any trouble, folks.

[00:58:41]And just for that, I don't need you to funny papers tonight.

[00:58:45]>> We'll put you in bed without any supper, you bad boy.

[00:58:52]>> You better get you home. You have to wait till the last of this.

[00:58:57]>> Go on.

[00:59:00]Look at that.

[00:59:02]>> Wait, it's somebody's coat.

[00:59:05]>> All right, come on out of there, buddy.

[00:59:07]So, that's how I got clunkked ON THE HEAD. COME ON. COME ON OUT OF THERE, YOU. ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

[00:59:12]>> LOOK, it's opening.

[00:59:13]>> Come on. Come on. But >> Oh, so it's you.

[00:59:17]>> Do you know him?

[00:59:18]>> Do I know him? HE'S THE GUY I CAUGHT USING THE TELEPHONE.

[00:59:20]>> THERE'S NO law against that.

[00:59:21]>> Never mind, law, buddy. Get him up >> now. Just a minute. Don't you think you're a little premature?

[00:59:25]>> Premature? Well, I can't remember that far back.

[00:59:27]>> Just Who are you? I'm Detective Klette, an investigator for the Securities and Exchange Commission, and I'm on the trail of the gorilla, just as you are.

[00:59:36]>> A detective?

[00:59:37]>> How do we know that?

[00:59:38]>> Yes, we Well, [clears throat] what were you doing in there?

[00:59:43]>> Investigating. I've been on this case for some weeks now, and I've discovered a little about the construction of this house that my good friend here don't seem to have found out yet. [laughter] >> What do you mean? This house is a maze of secret panels. Now, undoubtedly, the voice of the gorilla came through that radio from some place right in this house.

[01:00:03]>> That means that if we find the wire leading away from the radio, >> we'd at least find the gorilla's hideout.

[01:00:07]>> Say, what's going on here?

[01:00:09]>> What?

[01:00:09]>> Well, here it is. Here's the wire going right in here.

[01:00:11]>> It's fine.

[01:00:24]Just as I thought. Here's the wire. Now, by tracing this, I think we may find the answer to this entire riddle. The wire goes in here. Back of this wall is the man we want.

[01:00:35]>> We'll make a note of that, G.

[01:00:37]>> Are you all armed?

[01:00:38]>> Yes, I'm armed. Sh.

[01:00:40]>> Quiet. You. Here it is.

[01:00:46]There is your microphone. And as I expected, there is your gorilla. Mr. Stevens the gorilla.

[01:00:51]>> Oh, sure. I could have told her that all the time.

[01:00:53]>> I guess the party is over, my gorilla friend.

[01:00:55]>> But who tied him up like that?

[01:00:56]>> I don't know. He figured the game was up and that this would throw off suspicion.

[01:01:00]This is a homemade job. A child could have done it.

[01:01:03]>> A preposterous. Don't believe him. Never saw this man before in my life. It's insane.

[01:01:09]>> NOW, WHAT'S THAT?

[01:01:11]WHY IS IT WITH ALL THE MEN IN THE HOUSE THEY have to leave us HERE WITH YOU?

[01:01:14]>> QUIET.

[01:01:15]>> OH, WHY? IT'S MR. STEVEN.

[01:01:22]>> Alias the gorilla.

[01:01:23]>> The gorilla. Him?

[01:01:26]Oh, I'LL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER MAN IF I LIVE TO BE A THOUSAND. You can make that 2,000. Uncle Walder the gorilla.

[01:01:35]>> I don't believe it.

[01:01:36]>> I think I can make it very clear. All the hell sure we can.

[01:01:39]>> Now, first of all, what's that?

[01:01:42]>> I didn't hear a thing.

[01:01:43]>> Neither did I. But what was it?

[01:01:44]>> You soon find out.

[01:01:47]>> Hey, what is this? Who hit me? WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE?

[01:01:51]>> It's that man again.

[01:01:52]>> Oh, there you are. Kidnapped. Kidnapped by the gorilla.

[01:01:56]>> Not kidnapped by the gorilla, Mr. >> Conway. AP Conway.

[01:01:59]>> The AP stands for ape.

[01:02:01]>> Mr. Conway, this gentleman is THE GORILLA.

[01:02:04]>> THE GORILLA. BUT if Uncle Wald is the gorilla, I don't understand why he should send himself those notes of warning.

[01:02:10]>> For two reasons, to keep you here and to throw off suspicion from himself. Mr. Envy, under the terms of your father's will, if anything were to happen to you, who would inherit your estate?

[01:02:21]>> Uncle Wald, >> my hunch was right. Your uncle brought you here tonight to kill you for your money.

[01:02:28]>> Well, at least he had a reason.

[01:02:30]>> So that's why he wouldn't let us call the police.

[01:02:32]>> That's exactly why. But what about these men? These private detectives?

[01:02:36]>> They almost speak for themselves.

[01:02:38]>> Do you think if Steven's life had actually been threatened, he would have called in three more arms such as these for protection?

[01:02:48]>> Hey, wait a minute. I resent that.

[01:02:50]>> But I tell you, I saw the gorilla right there in that closet. I saw his hand in his arm, and it was no optical confusion.

[01:02:56]>> What you saw was this sleeve.

[01:02:59]Another ingenious little invention of Mr. Stevens. It's very cute little idea.

[01:03:04]>> Well, that about clears the whole matter out. And since it stopped raining, I think I better go.

[01:03:11]>> You're okay, buddy.

[01:03:13]>> All right.

[01:03:13]>> Congratulations. Let me congratulate you. You were wonderful.

[01:03:18]>> Excuse me.

[01:03:20]>> OH, NO YOU DON'T, BUDDY.

[01:03:22]>> OKAY, FOLKS. Say howdy to the gorilla.

[01:03:24]>> Howdy.

[01:03:25]>> ALL RIGHT, GIVE OUT OR THIS is going to blow your brains out.

[01:03:29]>> Well, you see, it was all of that. Oh, now all of you stick your hands up. I'm the gorilla. All right, but the cops haven't been able to get me. So don't you Halfway's got any crazy notions. And as for Mr. Stevens, he's just as crooked as I told you he was. The trouble with him is he talks too much and too loud. I got tipped off on what was going to happen here tonight. How he was going to pretend to be me. I was going to get the $250,000 and at the same time let him get the blame for all the gorilla murders.

[01:03:55]Well, you better be careful.

[01:03:58]I'm a little nervous tonight. Drop that gun and I advise you not to move.

[01:04:08]>> Hello. Police station quickly. What is this? I thought the phone was out of order. Maybe pay his bill.

[01:04:12]>> Hello. This is Walder Stevens speaking.

[01:04:15]Send a squad car to my house. We've got the gorilla.

[01:04:18]>> Things are so mixed up around here that even the gorilla doesn't know who the gorilla is.

[01:04:22]>> He's the gorilla. He's the gorilla. Do I know what I'M DOING? LOOK WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

[01:04:28]DON'T LOOK SO SAD, DARLING. Your uncle isn't a crook, and our estate's all safe and sound now.

[01:04:33]>> You know, you never can tell this is liable to wind up to be a mystery.

[01:04:36]>> You see, the gorilla murders were threatened to bank up our insurance company. Most of the victims were clients of ours. So, Conway, our special investigator, cooked up his little scheme to trap the killer. I'm sorry I had to frighten you, dear. And you, too, Kitty.

[01:04:48]>> Oh, I wasn't frightened. I was numb.

[01:04:51]>> You fellas are certainly great detectives.

[01:04:53]>> Oh, yeah. We could have told you that.

[01:04:55]Did you know that Clutty was the grill all along?

[01:04:57]>> Sure we did.

[01:04:58]>> No, we didn't.

[01:04:59]>> When did you find out he was the gorilla?

[01:05:00]>> When I shook hands with him.

[01:05:02]>> I don't get you.

[01:05:02]>> Well, you see, I was a window trimmer in a department store, and I ought to know a phony feel when I feel one. [laughter] >> We'll never be able to thank you, Mr. Harry.

[01:05:11]>> Oh, well, that's all right. I understand you two are getting married soon.

[01:05:14]>> Well, if you call tomorrow soon.

[01:05:16]>> Well, remember, if you have any trouble with her, our specialty is following wives. [laughter] You know what? I send the check and uh be sure it's certified from a competitive bank.

[01:05:35]>> Bye.
