Not very experienced. I have to remind him of everything. I've seen him somewhere What do we just see in your library mrs. Baldwin? The necklace you want to photograph. It was brought here from the bank only a few minutes ago My husband and a guest are standing guard over it. It's all together magnificent, mr. Baldwin It should be what I paid for it count.

Oh, then we let him get real close to the necklace Guess you'll want a good look at it too miss Williams women usually do Simply I have never seen anything so gorgeous mrs. Baldwin it is nice Isn't it mr. Baldwin tells me and this necklace is the greatest number of perfectly matched first water diamonds Set in any single example of the jewelers out miss Willie And it is worth the amount is staggering any man could live High-wide and handsome for a lifetime on what this necklace is worth De La Faire So I imagined but he'd have to steal it or steal my wife whom I gave it to and either of those things can be done While I'm around I'm sure it would be quite impossible quite impossible. I Would you like to take your pictures now mr. Casey? Yes, mr. Baldwin. Thank you I'm surprised there aren't detectives from your insurance company here to watch this necklace They're usually around these diamonds are not insured what not insured except for a few days each year They're kept in the bank vault and when mrs. Baldwin wears them as she will tonight my own employees like Tim here Keep them well protected. I never take my eyes off them boys. I'll shoot a picture of them lying here on the table Yeah, go ahead. Where's that dumb new butler Helen 15 minutes ago? I told him to bring in cocked Why did you take so long flaming? All right, you're here at last bring that liquor wagon over here There's one picture So have the cocktails flaming. Yes, mr. Baldwin. I don't like to drink in half darkness Why have you got all the shades drawn Helen? Well, you know, I always draw them when there's fog Willis It's so dreary to look outside and then let's have something besides just a few table lamps on in here Turn on the main lights flaming. Yes, mr. Baldwin. I'd like to see the people I'm talking What's that? What have you done to the lights? I told you to turn more on flaming not to switch them all off I haven't touched the switch that I hadn't reached it. Now. It's so dark. I'll get some lights on in here Tim yeah, I found a switch And now that we can see again What mr. Baldwin the diamonds? They are gone Tim I was standing right here beside him boys, but I couldn't see I know who took him Now I know who that butler is Casey. He's the notorious jewel thief Chris Masters. You're not gonna wrap me for this He's jumped through the window He's running away disappearing in the fog I'm coming with your tip that man has the diamonds Helen give orders to close the gates you got the war I'll take care of it Willis come with me Everybody's gone left to say well come on Casey. Let's get in on the chase No, hurry a man's out there with a million dollars worth of stolen diamonds and you say I you accused didn't get those diamonds I tell you I recognized him as Chris Masters. He switched off those Nobody switched off any lights. Look at the cord on this table lamp here It's been cut in two. Yeah interesting, isn't it? Now I know why you got that anonymous letter. I mean what the fog seems to be lifting a little Let's go outside and join the manhunt Casey will you tell me what you mean when we get outside and the fog the fog that's lifting You know you hear a lot about modern industrial design with its twin ideals of beauty and usefulness But nowhere is this better exemplified than in the creation of a new kind of dinnerware called jadeite and it's spelled J. A. D. E. I T E Jadeite is really beautiful. It has the color of fine jade and the texture of rare porcelain But jadeite is also unbelievably strong. It resists chipping and cracking and is so heat-proof You can safely put it in a hot oven and with all these advantages Jadeite actually costs less than the most ordinary uninspired dinnerware. For instance a big jadeite platter costs only 25 cents in open stock and a 35-piece dinner service for six people is priced at less than five dollars Ask for jadeite at your favorite chain store Department store hardware store or at other stores selling Chinaware and glass a set of jadeite makes an attractive gift And it's an easy way to replenish your own supply of dinnerware Jadeite is the newest triumph of anchor hocking The most famous name in glass I think Chris Masters will be fairly hard to find Casey I want to know why you think he didn't take those diamonds Okay, Annie It's because he had no chance to take person who sent you that anonymous letter sort of that the person that letter bothered me It just wasn't right We got here I recognized Masters under his butler suit and his dyed hair and phony English accent a few minutes after I saw it You did your idea. Yes, and I was sure he recognized me and you He wouldn't take a chance on lifting those diamonds with us in the house Go on someone who was in that library a few minutes ago You before tonight That Fleming the butler was really masters the jewel thief and they figured correctly. I imagine that he was planning to steal a Baldwin necklace That someone decided to get it first to let Masters take the blame But this someone didn't want to be the person who pointed the finger at Masters that wouldn't look secret So you were brought out here to make the accusation The article I wrote on Masters after my interview with him several years ago was featured under my byline That's right by Anne William and that meant that I'd be sure to recognize Masters He said nobody switched off those lights and that's right. The fuse was blown the fuse. Yeah The cord on that table lamp Annie had been cut with a scissors or knife causing a short circuit When the lights went out Masters was the one person in the room Well, I'm sure wasn't near the cord because he's the one person I was watching It's that cut lamp cord that makes me certain somebody besides Masters was after the diamonds Well, if the lights were short circuited, how could Mrs. Baldwin turn them on well She switched on the main lights and the wall and the ceiling brackets. They're on a different circuit apparently Why did Chris Masters do a run-out the moment I told who he was that seems to prove Well, it only proves that whoever sent you that letter did another smart piece of think of me And he didn't you were didn't you mention your story on Masters that as a jewel thief He lost his head kind of when things got hot and he always did a run-out And if I hadn't accused Masters and he hadn't run Mr. Baldwin would have called the police and everyone in the room would have been searched Now the thief has had a chance to get the diamonds off his person and into some hiding place Well, then the someone who planned all this is either count the love fur or whatever his name is Big Tim Blake or mr. Or Mrs. Baldwin. Well the Baldwin's wouldn't steal their own diamonds Wait a minute Annie people have been known to stage phony thefts of their own property Well sure to collect insurance, but mr. Baldwin said the necklace wasn't insured. Yeah, that's right What do you think about countable affair well a million bucks where the sparklers might be very attractive to a guy like him Baldwin seemed a little jealous. I caught that And you know the bodyguard Tim Blake, sir. Well, I don't know Tim Blake Well enough to eliminate him as a suspect. He said he'd been a cop. Why did he leave the force? For the good of the service the commissioner figured Tim was too willing to use a gun He shot up a couple of guys that maybe shouldn't have been shot up Well be no way of finding out who really got the diamonds if he or she hasn't already hidden them Oh, he or she hasn't hidden the man Well a minute ago you you said I said the thief has had the chance, but he didn't take it You see the person who got those diamonds, and it wasn't the person who planned on getting oh What are you talking about Annie when the would-be thief reached for that necklace in the dark? He or she got a great big surprise It wasn't there. It wasn't there. Well, how do you know because I'd reached first you Yeah, meet raffles Casey the million dollar bandit. Oh, what have you done with the necklace in my pocket in your pocket Oh Casey and everybody but you and me including the would-be thief is sure that it's in Chris master's pocket. Oh, and he It won't surprise me if the smart would-be thief does something very foolish very soon See pretty well now Casey all our suspects seem to be looking for masters individually during the past 15 minutes We've seen the count big Tim and Baldwin each of them alone. We haven't seen Mrs. Baldwin. I mean she's alone, too Okay, so you're taking an awful chance with those diamonds in your pocket if they were found on you No one would think the worst all right wouldn't they yeah, but Annie This is the first time I've ever had a million bucks worth of anything in my pocket. That kind of makes me feel Funny I don't feel any different than when I was honest and Over there Tim's voice There he is beside those trees right there. You got masters Tim. Yeah, oh, it's you Casey. Hey boss. Where's mr. Masters is lying behind those evergreens. Let's have a look. Hey, you shocked masters Tim. Yes, mr. Baldwin I heard a movement amongst those trees and then I saw a moving figure kept on moving after I told it to stop So I blazed away shooting what has happened him here. Just shot our thief count that butler Did you search this guy before you started shooting Tim a chance if I have to search him Casey I just want to search Tim take a look at your ex butler mr. Baldwin See his clothes old dog. Yeah all his pockets that aren't torn inside out or ripped open Well, I didn't search him you didn't shoot him either Tim. I didn't shoot oh I can't find any bullet holes in him. I see none this guy was strangled to death Oh, did it maybe the moving figure you saw was the someone who did it Tim You fired at it from a distance and then found this fella lying here and concluded your bullets had shot him Yeah, that must have been what happened. Who did kill that man count the la fair I have a kind of a half idea. You have Casey. Yes, mr. Baldwin I have more than a half idea I just found something near master's body that what you find for let us see I found something that tells me the strangler was you Break it up Baldwin you got him down now break it up All right, but don't let that fella get away Tim. I won't force Here's what I found beside master's hand Casey this black coat button Then I saw there was a button missing from de la fair's dinner jacket Look this button I found matches the others on his coat lie That button you pulled from my coat now when you take me A jury won't see it that way when you're tried for master's murder this man is mad take it easy count take it easy Why should de la fair be tried for murder mr. Baldwin because he killed masters This dead guy was a fugitive suspected of stealing your wife's necklace If Tim had shot him as we thought at first you wouldn't have called Tim a murderer if I had choked that thief I would be a fool to deny it and I'm not a fool But I was never near the man deny it because of the search you made of master's clothes You wanted the diamonds. He stole search me somebody. I have no diamonds You've had time to hide him someplace take him to the police Wait a minute. You're butting into this too much. I don't think so mr. Baldwin On the evidence of that button you're formally accusing count de la fair of killing this thief christmasters in order to hijack the stolen diamonds Oh now it's chris masters, huh? When miss williams recognized your phony butler tonight she mentioned his real name only once and very rapidly You knew who your butler really was before tonight That's crazy. You can't prove that maybe I can Tim was a good shot When he fired at the moving finger, he didn't miss completely. He put a hole through your coat sleeve Oh, yeah, look here right here. Let me go Tim and now casey. Hold everything Tim to do. Look at this Yeah, it looks like a bullet hole. All right. He's a bullet hole This man tried to accuse me of what he himself has done You murdered chris masters the hijacked property of your wife's that you'd meant to steal I'm trying to prove that you just try let me call. Okay Baldwin you've attempted a theft tonight. You killed a man You've tried to frame the counts When a guy like that can't be brought to book in one way sometimes he can in another Tim As an ex cop Wouldn't you say your boss was guilty? If you found the stolen necklace on him. Yeah It's your duty to see if he has it Tim. All right. I'll hold him again. I haven't lost diamonds you fool take Go through his pockets Tim. He's giving me quite a battle here He's afraid to have you search him. This will cost me my job. It's your duty. Okay. I'll do it, but Casey the diamond there you are. You did find it on him Tim. Oh, okay This is a frame up a frame up. Tell that to the cops Baldwin You and the count take care of him Tim.
