- 0:01Speaker 1: Now that, Watson, how about your new Shallock Holmes story,
- 0:03Speaker 1: The Adventure of the Scarlet Worm, where.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Mister Bell that singer affair took place in Paris.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I supposed the story really began on an October evening.
- 0:11Speaker 4: In Baker Street, a long long time ago.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I've been more than usually busy with my practice that day,
- 0:18Speaker 2: and I returned to our lodging shortly after nine.
- 0:20Speaker 4: I remember as I entered.
- 0:22Speaker 2: The living room, Sherlock Holmes was seated at his side table,
- 0:25Speaker 2: clad in his dressing.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Gown, and working hard over a chemical investigation. A large
- 0:30Speaker 3: curved rick trot was boiling.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Furiously in the bluish flame of a Bunsen burner.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Finally, he brought a test tube containing a solution.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Over to the table. In his right hand he held
- 0:41Speaker 2: a slip of liftless paper.
- 0:43Speaker 5: You will come at a crisis, Watson. If this flip
- 0:46Speaker 5: mustafer remains blue, all is well. If it turns red,
- 0:49Speaker 5: it means a man's life with Lord Holme's really ah,
- 0:53Speaker 5: as I thought it turns red, an out of center
- 0:56Speaker 5: telegram was cutton jat and I need have no further
- 0:58Speaker 5: connection with the case.
- 0:59Speaker 4: Well, you didn't tell me if you were working on
- 1:00Speaker 4: a UK's home.
- 1:01Speaker 5: It was a shot, a little affair. My dear Watson,
- 1:04Speaker 5: an orthopedic shoemaker Wapping became somewhat fretful with his wife.
- 1:07Speaker 5: He added poison to her morning pot of tea and
- 1:09Speaker 5: was stupid enough to leave a sample of the deadly brew.
- 1:12Speaker 5: It's purely a routine matter. Let's forget it. You wiok
- 1:15Speaker 5: tried old jab.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Visit.
- 1:18Speaker 5: I hope you won't be too tired to accompany me
- 1:20Speaker 5: to Paris tomorrow.
- 1:21Speaker 3: To Paris.
- 1:22Speaker 5: Why this afternoon I received a very rare visitor in
- 1:25Speaker 5: these rooms? My brother Microft all is not well at
- 1:29Speaker 5: the Foreign Office. They need our help.
- 1:31Speaker 4: What's wrong? Home?
- 1:33Speaker 5: And international spiring is at work. In the past few
- 1:36Speaker 5: months important secrets have leaked out, vital secrets that might
- 1:39Speaker 5: bring this country to the bird of war. Is two
- 1:41Speaker 5: of the Foreign Officer's brightest young men have committed to
- 1:44Speaker 5: his side. Rather than about how they betrayed their trust,
- 1:47Speaker 5: Microft tells me he has reason to suspect a beautiful
- 1:49Speaker 5: and dangerous young lady in Paris who inspired these men
- 1:53Speaker 5: in these men a loyalty even about Patrick.
- 1:56Speaker 3: And they want you to try and Trapper?
- 1:57Speaker 5: Is that it no Watson, they want us, oh micraft,
- 2:01Speaker 5: and I agree that you would be perfect faith to
- 2:03Speaker 5: use in such a trap. Right, it just sounds like
- 2:05Speaker 5: a piece of cheese, only metaphorically. Watson. You must agree
- 2:09Speaker 5: that your imposing appearance, your open countenance and hearty manner
- 2:12Speaker 5: would attract the attention of any female spy.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Yes, I see what you mean. But if you're right, in.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Any case, we shall make you doubly desirable by entrusting
- 2:20Speaker 5: you with a certain invaluable naval secret Master.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Master, you will entrust me with uctually worthless documents, spread
- 2:28Speaker 2: the stories that are valuable, and wait for the woman
- 2:30Speaker 2: to approach me precisely.
- 2:32Speaker 5: I shall accompany you as a bodyguard, but leave you
- 2:35Speaker 5: largely to your own devices. Yes, Watson, I have high
- 2:38Speaker 5: hopes of this trip to Paris. With you as the
- 2:41Speaker 5: worm and me as the hook. I think we may
- 2:44Speaker 5: snare this evil loveliness, miss Holmes. Doctor Watson, sure me
- 3:00Speaker 5: your credentials and explain your mission. We are aware of aspiring.
- 3:03Speaker 5: We are on concert watch, but I think you would
- 3:06Speaker 5: have done better to have stayed in your own country.
- 3:08Speaker 5: We of the Paris Police are perfectly capable of handling
- 3:11Speaker 5: such an affair. Ourselves. I are sure you, Inspectory go.
- 3:15Speaker 5: The fact remains that two foreign office men died here
- 3:17Speaker 5: under sinister circumstance.
- 3:19Speaker 3: And as the business you know prettice officials.
- 3:21Speaker 6: Monsieur, I myself investigated the deaths. They were both self inflicted.
- 3:26Speaker 6: We of the Jersey and bro cannot fatten the mind
- 3:28Speaker 6: of a suicide quite. But I doubt if the deaths
- 3:31Speaker 6: were coincidental. Surely there must be some connecting link between them.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Inspecton.
- 3:35Speaker 6: The only facts I can give you, Monsieur Avis, both
- 3:38Speaker 6: men frequented an American owned gambling casino in Monow. The
- 3:42Speaker 6: name of it please slitters on hoom Forday. The only
- 3:46Speaker 6: other fact I can give you is that both that
- 3:47Speaker 6: dead men were seen there in the company of a
- 3:49Speaker 6: certain mademoiselle l Virah.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Micross pots of Can you describe her, Inspector, Oh, what
- 3:55Speaker 5: are a woman? Though she is very young, princes have
- 3:59Speaker 5: duel fire paper.
- 4:02Speaker 4: At the moment, the.
- 4:03Speaker 6: High official of the Bank de France lies in a
- 4:05Speaker 6: prison cell because he appropriated funds that he lavished on her.
- 4:09Speaker 6: She's a fatal massieu, but she is as elusive as
- 4:13Speaker 6: the win Well Watson.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Our first move is obvious tonight, WI shall visit Slater's
- 4:18Speaker 5: gambling casino on the Ruffontaine and try our luck.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I say, Holmes, is your our residing Paris.
- 4:36Speaker 2: At Knight, run our way to an American gambling casino
- 4:39Speaker 2: in the hopes of meeting a beautiful young spy named Elvera.
- 4:43Speaker 3: It's just like a novel.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Quite incidentally, since the young lady apparently moves in high society,
- 4:49Speaker 5: I think it wouldn't wisely if we give you a
- 4:50Speaker 5: more impressive name, a fictitious title, perhap.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Well how about the title I used once before?
- 4:56Speaker 5: So William Norton spend it? So William Norton itch will
- 4:59Speaker 5: be And I trust that Sir William remembers the role
- 5:02Speaker 5: he used to play.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Here's indeed, Holmes, if I do meet the young.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Lady, I'm to appear very susceptible to.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Her beauty and not too hard for you, I imagine, And.
- 5:11Speaker 7: I'm to drop dark hints about the valuable secrets that
- 5:13Speaker 7: I'm carrying precisely, Watson, And if the lady proves as
- 5:17Speaker 7: intrigued as I hope she will, you will follow the
- 5:20Speaker 7: matter through to its logical conclusions.

- 21:56Speaker 3: He seems to be unconscious.
- 21:57Speaker 5: I think he's suffering from the effects of a trifle
- 21:59Speaker 5: too much. I hadn't the heart to lead him. Ah,

- 22:12Speaker 5: Who kidnapped you tonight?
- 22:13Speaker 9: It was one of Chavez's men. They made me disguise
- 22:16Speaker 9: myself and swear never to see either of you again,
- 22:19Speaker 9: on pain of death.
- 22:20Speaker 3: For the which we came to see you.
- 22:22Speaker 5: We knew that Travia was connected with disguise. Mary, you're
- 22:25Speaker 5: safely under lock and key, but we still don't know
- 22:27Speaker 5: who is at the head of this organization. Can you
- 22:30Speaker 5: give us any clues, mademoiselle.
- 22:31Speaker 8: I think that the man you want was waiting in
- 22:34Speaker 8: the cab that took me to the Scarlet Worm. But
- 22:37Speaker 8: he was asked and he never spoke.
- 22:39Speaker 5: Can't you recall anything that might give us a clue?
- 22:41Speaker 9: Oh, one incident, if it means anything, Shade's men said
- 22:46Speaker 9: to him, we go to the scarlet worm. Eh that
- 22:50Speaker 9: is could you also you make a worm's no?
- 22:55Speaker 5: And then he laughs He said this in French, of course, yes,
- 22:58Speaker 5: yes he did. Then the case is I'm an idiot.
- 23:01Speaker 5: I should have spotted it sooner. The man you want, Inspector,
- 23:04Speaker 5: is lying asleep on it. Look out, He's not asleep,
- 23:07Speaker 5: wasn't He's got a revolver?
- 23:08Speaker 2: I know you don't.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Oh, he's gone to sleep again.
- 23:11Speaker 5: Really, what's in your insplendid form tonight? But monsieurs, why
- 23:15Speaker 5: do you say that man is the cubert you yourself
- 23:18Speaker 5: gave with the clue, Inspector when you told me that
- 23:20Speaker 5: the criminal was an Englishman posing as a Frenchman. You
- 23:22Speaker 5: are not the fall on two occasions, and then not
- 23:24Speaker 5: from all a few minutes it was long enough to
- 23:26Speaker 5: realize that Flanta was really an Englishman. The first time
- 23:30Speaker 5: we met him, he quoted a poem that he said
- 23:32Speaker 5: was translated from the French. The translation was grave as
- 23:36Speaker 5: the grave, August as august heat The poem could not
- 23:41Speaker 5: have been translated from the French, because both of those
- 23:43Speaker 5: puns are possible only in the English language.
- 23:45Speaker 8: But how did my repeat in the conversation in the
- 23:47Speaker 8: cab give you a clue, mister Horn.
- 23:50Speaker 5: Because it was another pun in French. The word for
- 23:53Speaker 5: worms and for verses is the same. There spelt a
- 23:57Speaker 5: v rs.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I see it now.
- 24:00Speaker 7: When the man in the cab said you make worms,
- 24:03Speaker 7: he also meant you make verses, precisely wanton, and thereby
- 24:07Speaker 7: pointed directly at the police.
- 24:08Speaker 3: There.
- 24:09Speaker 5: With Andre Flanton or whatever his real name is, in prison,
- 24:13Speaker 5: I'm sure my craft will have no more trouble with
- 24:16Speaker 5: his firing
