- 8:18I've been trying desperately to fall asleep. Well, he's gonna miss Cleveland.
- 8:22I gotta get him up. Yes, but all you have to do is
- 8:24to wake one man. You're not supposed to blitz queed the train. He
- 8:28made me find out that. To make sure he gets off of Cleveland,
- 8:30I practically broke down this compartment door, but I can't get him out.
- 8:33Well, keep trying. The lucky fellow's probably a heavy sleeper. Good night,
- 8:37sir, sleep well, Oh, I'll do it real, gentlemen,
- 8:43wake up in Cleveland, George, why don't you open his door and go
- 8:48in? Jean's right, I'm not supposed to do that. Well, if

- 9:26the passenger and the compartment between us. He's dead, going in, you
- 9:30see, I told her, Well, let's see coming to the compartment.
- 9:35M m he's dead, all right, no matter how you're spelling. I
- 9:41don't know. That's funny. This man looks different than me. Different.
- 9:46Huh. Well, all men's faces change a little when they die for the
- 9:50better, I suppose, so, of course I never did seem so good
- 9:52anyway, I watch out, George the old passenger in sixties dead? Yes,
- 9:56who's this fella? I believe the phrase is an innocent bas stand the
- 10:00conductor. My name is Leonadus witherwaw anybody in the name of the dead man?
- 10:05All right, I'll wire the police at our next stop. They can
- 10:07take over from there. Un let's look around. See who this collor is.
- 10:09Well, you should that mister Witherhall takes charged. He used to solve
- 10:13in murders. How do you know this man was murdered? Oh, when
- 10:16mister Witherdoll's around, everybody gets murdered after the Why we don't missus mullett,
- 10:20and don't exaggerate. All right, folks, everybody go back to bed.
- 10:24You're gonna be holding your teacher's convention in this compartment. Say what, I
- 10:26let mister Witherill take charge. You're sure we all know him? He starved
- 10:31detectives? Are you a detective? Mister? You with the beer? Officially
- 10:35no, occasionally by an odd and unpredictable serious circumstances. Yeah, it's serious.
- 10:41Okay, so you're a detective. Well, get going. Maybe you
- 10:43can help find out who this dead man is. Well, it is the
- 10:48wallet in his hands. Room, he is it? His name's Thomas Bridges,
- 10:52one forty seven Mandoly Boulevard, Boston. Here it is cold, it's
- 10:58articulous. Our return ticket comes Chicago, Chicago. Well that's strange. Why
- 11:03is it strange? We're going to Chicago, aren't we? Mister This man
- 11:07asked George to get him off at Cleveland. Think he really was bumped off?
- 11:09Mister Witherall or no signs of violence can mister I just heard, isn't
- 11:15it too shock? Oh yes, mister Leo. Very unfortunate heart attack.
- 11:20Probably probably some people will disobey M and M and mother nature. Yes they
- 11:26streamed. Okay, uh, this gentleman on the bed, he's dead,
- 11:33but that's not why Why that Thomas Bridges? Yeah, yeah, Bridges?
- 11:37Did you know him? We met in the diners and what's your name?
- 11:43Margie, Margie Macintosh? That guy. I think it's the best if we
- 11:46all went back to sleep. When the police come, we can find out
- 11:48exactly what's happened. Good idea well, pleasant dream or excuse me, but
- 11:52could you tell me what's happened? What are you poking around for? Mister?
- 11:56I'm a writer and I sometimes do newspaper work. My name is Randon
- 12:00Danny Randolph. Man named Bridges just kicked off. I see well look,
- 12:03can I just take a look and see? What did you say? His
- 12:05name was Bridges? Right, we've told you have anything exciting develops after the
- 12:11police arrives, mister Randolf all, I appreciate it. I'm down car twelve.
- 12:13I like to know everything that happened. Time bray it up, folks,
- 12:16everybody back way I've along. I'll turn out the light. Mister wither
- 12:20Wrong, close the door. Well, well, I'll be in the next
- 12:24car if you leave. Oh, thank you. Don't a lie, but
- 12:28I don't think I can help much. Another can tell Oh good night,
- 12:31missus mcinto. Don't forget to tell me when the police come. Keep me
- 12:35up to the second. Oh, certainly, mister randolf I'll be in car
- 12:37seven if you want me, mister Witherall, all right, conductor, Well,
- 12:41I just want to be going back to my compartment. Don't go to
- 12:43your compartment. Wow, you've got some work to do about the dead man.
- 12:48Now, don't tell me you're going to go sticking your nose into this.
- 12:50You know, every time you get missed up in a murder, somebody
- 12:54tries to strangle. Yeah, wait till he car quiets down. Won't take
- 12:56a second. Then we'll sneak into compartments. Sick, what Paul are Well?
- 13:01I've been thinking of George's remarks that the gentlemen in the compartment looked different.
- 13:05Oh, also the fact that the original passenger in number six wanted to
- 13:09get off at Cleveland, and the dead man has a return ticket from Chicago.
- 13:13Did you Shay the original passenger. Yes, the corpse and six isn't
- 13:16the man who belongs there at all. I think someone else was their original
- 13:20And how can you be sure? Well, in going through his trunk,
- 13:24I noticed that although it was equipped with a splendid wardrobe, the pajamas were
- 13:28missing. They weren't anywhere in the room. You see. The man who
- 13:31slept in there first must have been wearing them. Ah, the passage is
- 13:35empty, and the conductors obligingly lowered the lights. Come on. Now here's
- 13:41the doll coming very quietly. What are you going to do? Shut the
- 13:48door? That's it now, hand me those bedroom stipers on the floor.
- 13:52Yeah, thank you, I just tried them on this man. Wait,
- 13:54I'll get the shoes off first. There. Now, you see the door
- 14:03is right. This compartment doesn't belong to mister Bridges at all. Belong to
- 14:07someone else. Someone who's wearing pajamas, someone who undoubtedly has been murdered.
- 14:13Who wear the dean? Well, where would you look for a dead body,
- 14:16missus Mullens? In a coffin? Clever of you? In a coffin?
- 14:20You mean that the real murdered man is in the baggage car in the
- 14:24coffin brought here during the funeral logical, isn't it? Come on, you're
- 14:28not going to the baggage car. I certainly am. Now someone's guarding that
- 14:31coffin. It's a law, so we'll have to dispose of him. Then
- 14:35we can go ahead, go ahead with b we can go ahead and open
- 14:39the coffin. Yes, we can go ahead and open mister. See peak
- 14:54of vistle glass in the door. The man's in there, shitting right beside
- 14:58the coffins. Let him speak to him and you stand casually beside him.
- 15:03Then when I nod, you hit him on the head. Use anything you
- 15:05see, grappling hook am I heavy package anything? Then we'll open the coffin.
- 15:09Uh that's hard. Well let's go. I opened the door. Hello.
- 15:18Oh hey, don't I know you? Yeah? No, yeah,
- 15:24yeah, you look like what's the name of the bird? Uh? Not
- 15:28bird, Bob Shakespeare? Yeah, that's the bird. Then you're acquainted with
- 15:31him, man, ah sure, not personal. I read two of his
- 15:33plays, Romeo and Juliette too. Who's the dame? Watch that missus mullett
- 15:39meet watch the bird? Okay, Oh my name's Benny. Hi. Hey,
- 15:43what are you two doing? Back? Here. Oh, we got
- 15:46restless, walk through the train and found ourselves back here. Who guarding that
- 15:50coffin here? Benny? Yeah, why don't you sit down on a six
- 15:52foot bungalow there and we'll split the breeze. You know, I got a
- 15:54great acquaintance with the works of Shakespeare. A lot of his chef's been lammatized,
- 15:58and don't say yeah, and all about it, all about his tragedies
- 16:02and comedies and there is say anything happened tonight while you were watching the coffin
- 16:06Ben there? Huh? Yeah, Well, anyone speak to you tonight?
- 16:08Any strangers? Yeah, I don't know anything, just squat here watching after
- 16:11my boyfriend and a fine overcoat had a nice idea for him too, you
- 16:15know what. I wanted to put one of them pretty flower horseshoes on the
- 16:17bunch, you know, the ones to say success. Benny. There's been
- 16:21a murder on this trend kind of an and I'm investigating it. You are,
- 16:25You're very much in the way, now, missus Bullett. I'll get
- 16:27them tell your Midsummer Night's dream. I'll hide Benny behind these mail bags.
- 16:34Fine, Now, I'll take this grappling hook and get at that coffin.
- 16:41Do you have to do that? It's no time to be nervous. Got
- 16:45this side up the other, set me nail this downd. It's very bad
- 16:52luck to open a coffin there. Don't tell him what his side how you're
- 16:57sure you have to do that? Now, I pick up the whole lid.
- 17:03Ready, missus Ullett, and I'm as ready as I ever will be.
- 17:06Don't behave so foolishly. Coffin's beIN open before body snatches. Do it
- 17:10regularly? Well? When I was around, Oh, here goes yeah,
- 17:15Why it's a man in pajamas and he's been stayed just as I thought.
- 17:19Someone stabbed this man during the middle of the night and then exchanged his dead
- 17:23body for the corpse in this coffin. They switched, if you see,
- 17:26with bridges body. But why would they do that? Cover up this chap,
- 17:32whoever he is, would disappear completely. You see, he was last
- 17:34seen boarding this train and then vanished as if by magic. By the time
- 17:38his friends or relatives discovered anything was wrong, he would have been buried in
- 17:42this coffin. What would happen to Bridges? I'm sure mister Bridges was selected
- 17:47because he's the type of man nobody would be looking for. Oh, Bridges
- 17:51death would be discovered by the coroner as a heart attack, which it probably
- 17:55was, and that would clear the killer completely. You see. Now,
- 17:59Offer's problem is who is this man? And secondly who played checkers with the
- 18:03two cadaveras? I bet that then he over there knows, Let me better
- 18:07revive him. Wait, look down the corridor. Someone's coming. It's that
- 18:11newspaper man and he ran all quick, hide behind these mail sex to find
- 18:15here with me? Right? Is this all right? You think they can
- 18:17see us? No? No, this is fine. You'll see the open
- 18:19coffin. That's just what I want. Holy smokes, Margie, what are
- 18:34you doing here? Not so loud? You notice the same thing? Huh?
- 18:38The wrong guy in Sparrow's compartment? Yeah? I figured somebody pulled the
- 18:41switch. Lerer he is? See him in the coffin? Yeah, I'll
- 18:45bet you can explain how it happened. Are you crazy? And it's not?
- 18:48When I saw that stiff and spires place, how'd you ever manage your
- 18:52sap? You don't the guy stabbed him? Do you? Why not he
- 18:56double cross aw about you? You really wrote the big shot spars stole it
- 18:59from you, was gonna collect from him on this train tonight. You don't
- 19:02take id knife him and lose a door, would you. Well, maybe
- 19:04he was a big boy himself. He do anything to keep that book from
- 19:07being published. It might have been his royal highness. Yeah, maybe I
- 19:11could make things very hot for you, Danny. I could shoot my mouth
- 19:17off about Sparrow taking your book, that it'd give you a terrific motive.
- 19:22And I could tell a cute leone about how you got to swear he wrote
- 19:25it and then told you to go jump in the drink. We don't have
- 19:29to be nasty to each other, Danny. We could be friends again.
- 19:33I've always been kind of sorry we broke up, haven't you. First you
- 19:37had me and then you catch me in for Sparrow. Now he's gone,
- 19:41Yeah, you're figure you'll take me back. Yeah, high class twist inches.
- 19:47I'll keep quiet. We can take up where we let to do.
- 19:49Yeah, sure, I could trust you. Wanna kiss and make up so
- 19:55you can get the dough from the book. Huh, go on scram for
- 19:57I push your face in, Danny. I'm getting out of here. This
- 20:00guy's no place to be with sparrow line in that coffin, Wait ni alone
- 20:03and keep your trutch. Danny, Oh quite a girl, ain't she?
- 20:11Sir? Charming? In a twist? Do you think she kills Star?
- 20:15Or did Danny do it? You've forgotten a suggestion Danny made himself. Maybe
- 20:18it was the gentleman they called the big shot who's about to be exposed for
- 20:21that book. Well, how can you find out who it was? It
- 20:23seems rather simple to me, since this is all because of the manuscript of
- 20:26a book. Whoever has that script is the killer. We'll have to search
- 20:30for it. And they're Burrs, and margis Danny's and you search the big
- 20:33shots. You don't know who he is. At least I can eliminate the
- 20:36first two. And missus Mullett, how's you scream these days? Well,
- 20:41after seeing you open that coffin, should be very good. Well, I
- 20:44want you to stand at one end of that car up front and scream for
- 20:47all your works and lead everyone on a merry chase all through the train.
- 20:49I want about three or four minutes of confusion to examine Margie's and Danny's luggage.
- 20:55Suppose the manuscript ain't there and we know the big shot to the killing,
- 20:57and we'd have to find him. Let's go up front. Leave Benny
- 21:00there. He seems to be resting so peacefully, probably dreaming about those two
- 21:04plays Romeo and Juliet. Come on ready, missus. Mallan read on,
- 21:23well catch them all chasing me for five minutes to find a manuscripts. Yes,
- 21:29I did, and I left it where I found it too. It
- 21:30was in here the station, mister Witherall, police will come on. We
- 21:33can get to the bottom of this. Now. I'm so glad the police
- 21:36are here. I was getting so ups if I imagine this has been quite
- 21:38a strain for you, misterrace a big pard. Miss Macantize, what do
- 21:42you mean the cops be coming on now, mister Randolph, everybody stay right
- 21:47here. Oh, I'm so glad. We'll know if anything suspicious is going
- 21:51on. I couldn't sleep thinking about this, couldn't sleep at all. And
- 21:53that's so bad. Suspense causes a noun favorable glandular page mother nature, mister
- 22:02Leah, oh my head. Or to have a doctor I ordered in solar
- 22:04physician. Ah here are huh hey listen this idea. Barbara just going to
