this best place in silver don't let the front fool you excuse me a

moment captain Troy it has been a long time Brahma I brought your cash customer look

around please I will be with you in a moment thank you

you have selected two very beautiful pearls indeed miss one club you choose with discretion thank you

my husband always told me in shops like yours the rarest gems are never on display correct permit me to show you

something incredible from Ceylon the

most perfect emerald that I've ever seen oh yes incredible it was valued at

30,000 feet gian pounds at $75,000 I only have two pounds for Sunday birthday

present Shan Shan I kept finding this place you asked the rector shamless sure four

blocks thousand three blocks to the right and why are they selling at that shared with fish now I want something

simple a a bracelet for my niece very fat wrists and where does a fat girl

find a husband these days I told my sister many years ago to put that dirt on the diet but it's chocolate sodas and

it's chocolate pies and between gracious

now look what you've done I haven't done anything well no matter at least you can help me pick them up

please let me

mr. Winthrop you have the Emerald I put

it on my pad lady please your name mrs.

Higgins Agnes Matilda Higgins Wow there was a valuable gym here on the table mrs.

Higgins perhaps it fell into your bag we must look

well they've been given complete physical search including fluoroscope by the nurse here neither of them has it

for the record ramit has also submitted his person to search but one of them must why captain

Troy and his friend were standing only a few feet away they saw the whole thing come on these ladies must have taken it

said right captain totally seemed that way to me I have never been so sickening ly humiliated in

all my life if you don't release me immediately I shall call the American Consul why you so upset dearie

I can't wait to get home and tell Millie about being stripped to the buff in Fiji I don't know about your legal procedures

but back home we have such a thing as suing for false arrest I can't hold

anyone without evidence from it you're free to go miss Munroe you'd think with

her figure she wouldn't mind taking her clothes off I can't understand what

happened to it captain Troy it disappeared into thin air Oh at least you're insured what is money when it

Jamie's is one-of-a-kind forgive me miss actually Makaha perhaps this bracelet will fill your need he's

only 2 pounds yes and it would be more pretty than your emerald a big of you to

understand my position the Emerald was extremely valuable it was necessary for you to go to the police station to

Chandra when I want something a distasteful incident does not stand in my way those pearl earrings I wish to

buy them you still want it you said they were your finest how much are they 1000

Fijian pond and how much is that in American dollars I will give them to you for only 2,000 all right I'll take them

you're most kind please accept my humble apologies I'll put the earrings in small

silver box with my compliments I will accept only the earrings

good day mr. Chandra that girl is all

heart

5 whole dollars man you're gonna spoil at the heaney not spoil a Sunday the

important thing is that she loves you for yourself not for your money all the woman needs is a place to cook the food

and a strong voice to holler for the kids you start spoiling like this no telling where I live it'll end like that

[Music]

Clayton Jackson Baker it's your service miss winter if I'm correctly informed this vessel is scheduled to sail for

popaty if it were up to me miss did it go anywhere you want copy they will be just

fine we sail for puppet in an hour I thought I'd seen the last of you

not if you're sailing on this ship I'm her skipper I haven't seen the passenger list yet but I'll assume your name is on

it well these men are built-in taxi meter source money doesn't mean anything

to you so I tell them to leave your stuff ashore or put it below would you

be good enough to show me to my cabin captain

[Music] first cabin on the right

man what a dish you dig those high heels and I'd match luggage you told me not good for why you

need to have all those fine things but that's different she pays for more their own money you gave me enough for a down

payment on the schooner is that any concern of yours captain skipper we're

just gonna have to change our name to the SS Tiki we're getting to be a regular cruise ship what's up and the

last three more passengers Duke to male one female Tim hope ooh Geoffrey done and Agnes

Higgins yeah and I've never seen a good-looking Agnes yet where do you see this one you mean she's a raisin trim like Miss

Winthrop if Miss Winthrop sinned racing trim Agnes Higgins is a sea going tug with a full head of steam

[Music]

good day gentlemen I'm Adam Troy don't take your passports captain Troy I'm get redone you run a trim ship captain

I appreciate that sort of thing Thank You Kim I'll poo from Honolulu my passport and

my card can't earn the Mambo and cha-cha-cha and 10 easy lessons I've

just opened a branch office here and silver captain when I'm finished the Mambo will have swept the South Pacific

just think of it the South Seas brought up-to-date native drums swinging to a

bongo beat isn't that a stupefying idea welcome aboard

if you'll excuse me my maple sugar to your quarters this way gentlemen thank you very much

[Music]

why of course at the police station during my third degree hello business

Nicholas why captain Troy I might have known you had a boat like this the very

first time I met you your walk your talk you've got ocean spray written all over you it makes me sound a little damp no

offense I do hope you'll see to it that I have a nice cabin the best we have and

I hope all your other passengers like shuffleboard shuffleboard what's the cruise without shuffleboard

this isn't a cruise ship we just take cargo and passengers from port to port now captain you mustn't think less of

yourself for carrying cargo as I told my sister Millie a hundred times all of us

in this world have to make do with what we have now you still have a nice wooden floor for shuffleboard

over there in the middle you mean midships that's what I think not clear at all that's day three

you mean our deck colonel yes that's it'll make a perfect area now you you who is this mrs. Higgins this is my mate

clay Baker Oh mr. Baker now if you'll make the wooden disks and the pushers I'll find some paste and

that midship you see I got it right no

you're everything I heard you were a real seagoing get ready to shove off mr.

Baker why thank you thank you and I get to work right away have you ever heard

of Captain Bligh he made everybody walk

the plank didn't well I've made people walk the plank for less than painting my forward deck do I make myself clear

oh no shuffleboard no shuffleboard mrs. Higgins and now my

mate will show you to the cabin say lease sale the Eagle over the bounding main

well you know I guess Columbus didn't have shuffleboard II

[Music]

[Music]

I think it will be even more really

captain I didn't expect there be a difference between first-class and tourists on your romantic little ship but this is the end no no no mrs.

Higgins book passes in Suva from the agent just the same as you did you're

gonna have to learn to live with all of us Tiki wasn't built for a Blue Ribbon run

I'm sorry I didn't mean to take out my hostility on you what are you so sore

about I mean you can't just be mrs. Higgins his analysis your hobby captain

dream interpretation the main cabin group therapy in the fo'c'sle well then a headhunter gets a hold of one on my

pass there's there's nothing that that shrink I knew you could do it good what

laughs my husband died two years ago that's too

long at the Laughing you're so young he wasn't much older yeah a good marriage

and suddenly there was only the money left

safe Abby which one you want world away record boys what are you talking about

the Tiki handicap well we gotta have some social activities for our passengers oh you're a cruise director

now huh well you said yourself there's no room for shuffleboard so miss Higgins gonna cut off these cardboard horses and

then we'll just set him on the cargo hatch to roll the dice this was mrs. Higgins idea no no but she took to it

like a duck takes to water and she's organizing a tournament leaving you plenty of time to make book well what's

so bad about it it's all going to a worthy cause this seaman's charity really fun mm-hmm the relief of Clayton

Jackson Baker well that qualify as a destitute seaman

I can seek relief same as anybody else [Music]

you know we're also lucky cap Detroit and other ships they just fight to sit

at the captain's table what creates bad feelings passenger against passenger well we all stick the deal we're just

one big happy family please excuse me

[Music]

she's a very beautiful one personally I think she's a beating oh you know you're

all victims of modern merchandising methods I fail to see what merchandising

methods have to do with miss Winthrop well if a product is packaged attractively and well advertised there's

a big demand for it no matter what's inside the rapid you are a very wise

woman mrs. Higgins I just know a busybody traveling around the world getting in everybody's hair and awkward

talons well if you'll excuse me I have

to take the helm don't worry captain Troy we'll keep everything shipshape

below deck but I'm getting nautical now

my trick at the wheel mr. cruise director ah you know there's a lot more

to mrs. Higgins in this shuffle yeah she's not only a real seat Doug she's got two heads full of steam

evening mr. Dunn lovely night captain nice portering wind you done quite a bit

of silly I've done quite a bit of many things including taking captain's into

my confidence when necessary all right I'm listening let me tell you a little

story captain Troy there's a famous jewelry store in San Francisco

scorpions about a year ago a woman walked even created a fuss she picked on another lady customer

during the confusion a diamond pendant disappeared valued at well over $100,000

a thorough search turned up nothing naturally the woman was released have

you heard the story before as a familiar ring it's even more familiar when you realize that the woman in San Francisco

and the woman in Chandler shopping silver are one in the same person all delicious fellow Voyager mrs. Higgins

you get around quite a bit yourself I'm very well paid why travels captain

Troy by indemnifies limited of London have you heard of us we're very well known all over the world you know while the police tend to lose

interest in the chase after a bit at indemnify errs persistence is our motto

also we don't believe that gems vanish into thin air all right why are you

telling me all this because I need your help Captain I'm convinced that the Emerald is right here with us about the

Tiki [Music]

[Music]

that ethera peeler for me why don't we just assume it was for you

[Music]

just a minute [Music]

might get a little worse before it eases up oh I was kidding you before about the

straps but I think you better use it now I think you'd better store your cosmetic

shop before it breaks up and I told you before the best place for Pastner on a

night like this is strapped in bed where are you doing tops on down watch now sock out and stay put

[Music]

is that to bring it through the storm or for me why don't you just assume it to

be you [Music]

night to make everything secure including yourself I intend to

[Music]

this is standard equipment for Mambo instructors you mentioned security did you captain I happen to be a staunch

believer in it furthermore I have a license I'll put in the ship's safe you don't find this is

kind of security that tends to make me feel insecure good night

more than Mambo teacher [Music]

Oh who was k*lled with a six-inch knife from the galley papers and identification are missing over we can

be there to matter of hours by a flying boat but we can't take off until early morning because of the weather here now

have you already questioned your passengers and crew over I'm in the process of doing so now we'll keep you

informed we'll see you tomorrow over and out tomorrow then good luck I

don't think I like the way you're conducting this captain I haven't even asked you anything yet mrs. Higgins and

that's what I mean first to question miss Winthrop oh I know fire a man or question miss Winthrop 32 and then you

talk to do Jet Li done and I feel slighted at being left not at all mrs. Higgins I always save the best for that

well thank you captain oh you know that he promised me free mandolin

Oh life is so unpredictable you know mrs. Higgins you should have gone on the stage you're given my liver the

performance performing me yes is the jolly touring American busybody really

captain there's no reason for you to be insulting far from it mrs. Higgins I'm telling you the truth

you see I know a great deal about you good for you and where did you gain all that knowledge oh I thought I was the

one who were supposed to ask you the questions so death I think I know it was from Jeffrey done

wasn't it oh I see that I'm right and did Jet Li done tell you who's an insurance claims investigator oh I'm

sure he did he uses that one every once in a while there's your actor for you

captain all that phony tight-lipped British business he's just sold you the Brooklyn Bridge

that's all Jeffrey done is 50 Campbell mr. Dunn showed me his papers and they were in order thanks wonder no one mrs.

Higgins work you in San Francisco when the diamond was taken from store bah

just as you were in Suva when the Emerald was missing from Chandra's coincidence pure coincidence

I think it's pulling the long arm of coincidence practically out of its socket they cleared me of all charges

what search me search my cabin nothing missing at home naturally only

about international jewel pieces well I do try to keep tabs on most of

the group take Jeff be done for example sometimes he goes under the name of sir Gordon Donahue other times it's Donald

Terence Denning or dim with digging in a little after and the tongue twister isn't it but don't take my word for all

of this captain just get in your little Wireless and call Suba and they'll tell you the jet pre-done is a hundred

percent bona fide a phony [Music]

Adam wimpy we get on the wagon for peyote yet couldn't you question us and say it at

the same time well I've still got a couple more of Paris I imagine the official inquest will take

a few days can't we please talk about something else well I talk about something else when we're all thinking about this after

all as a m*rder*r aboard this ship and we're all suspect even you captain dry I

could do with a bit of fresh air excuse me please good idea I'll join you somebody has to

keep an eye on him I was up to set about

a little incident in the jewelry shop I've come back a long way since then you've come back you're back to life

when my husband died I went into his shell now curiously just when there's

another death I feel like living again you had another shock this morning oh I haven't even had a chance to thank

you for saving my life you know I'm beginning to think you're the only passenger on board worth saving why do

you say that Jeffrey Dunn claims mr. Higgins is a jewel thief mrs. Higgins claims to be done as a jewel thief they

both may be jewel thieves but one of them is also a m*rder*r which one do you

think it is I don't know after all mrs. Higgins you are the

logical suspect really a lovable old lady like me traveling around the world minding my own business I suggest you

drop the pose and with it the fictitious sister Millie and the niece with the fat wrists oh yes that was rather a nice

touch let me be frank with you I represent indemnity Oz limited insurance claims investigators you know wouldn't

it be worth your while to give up the Emerald to rid yourself of a m*rder charge it's an interesting proposition

then shall we make a deal mrs. Higgins oh come off at your wit bag and drop

that indemnify as routine it's my gift that you k*lled hope OOP cause he really was a claims investigator mrs. Higgins

I appreciate the old adage that the best defense is a strong offense but to

accuse me is preposterous I didn't k*ll her boo you did Oh deep nothin come off

it buster tries on to you too mrs. Higgins raising your voice won't do any good look at the

fact why haven't we moved out of this Lagoon more repairs nonsense our captain

has radioed Suva and we're gonna wait right here for the end well it seems I

mean as deep as you are now how do we both get out of this we both don't start

ah mr. Dunn [Music]

which there was a Mille to tell all this - yeah we forgot the run out right

[Music]

lifting here invisibility seems to be improving we should be able to take off

at about oh six hundred estimated time of arrival oh eight three Oh our

aircraft call letters will be g RL MP repeat g RL mb you read me tiki over yes

I read you see you sometime after breakfast gr LM d over now

[Music]

[Music]

woman is visiting our cabins but turn upside down I'm holding done and irons until you get here

sorry cousin ions adieu confining now if you please both go and sit down that

corner City and don't move unless I tell

you to you're gonna hold that g*n on us

till you get sleepy time you were underway captain yeah what course how

far the extra take you far enough and the course will be 65 degrees since

you've finally to put us right on lot who about 50 miles away friends there

naturally don't suppose I've come on board without having something in mind you they probably have a fast boat the

fast flying boats it's right on the course to Tahiti isn't it that's the

picture exactly you'll never make it mister sit down mr. Baker and enjoy that

comfortable City

come on Diane quickly with you

topside captain sharp you k*ll hope ooh because he was the real investigator he

k*lled mrs. Higgins because you thought she had the end moment k*ll mrs. Higgins

65° captain

still haven't found the Emerald oh but we will when my friends come on board we make a search Oh

[Music]

thank you topside to time down

[Music] it's being alright never better

[Music]

and then there was one hmm oh it's a m*rder mystery I saw once Ten

Little Indians from the nursery rhyme and one by one they disappeared oh I thought that ended and then there were

none well it's a fine thing to say Adam hope ooh and mrs. Higgins gone and done

being held well they're all part of the same story you and I have a different

story yeah at least we're still here we can be anywhere remember I said my money's brought me a

long way what a*s do you money by itself

never interested me but I come with it and you're what I've been looking for

there's this one problem our little Indian friends are still with us I mean I don't see them well Moore came over

the radio than just a description have done you mean they found the mo no but

they helped back up a theory I had on how it disappeared here I'll show you this will be the counter run and I'll

need a sticky substance sticky substance yeah see I remember when mrs. Higgins entered

the store she was chewing gum and I never saw to it again this beeswax would be fine

and this lump of sugar will be the only one but right on the map now remember

she was chewing gum when she came into the store and when she was talking about her sister Millie and knocking over

packages and purses and accusing you suddenly the Emerald had vanished

well what did you do with it it's not on the counter not on the floor it's under

the cover so when they searched everyone at the

police station that's what they didn't find it and then someone just went back to the store later to pick it up simple

as that why Adam I was an accomplice that I never even knew I was being used yeah I

seem to have all the answers don't I but where's the Emerald well mrs. Higgins

had it it must have gone overboard with her no no I don't think so find out no

one would have pushed her overboard for the Emerald without searching after Lee first well what do you think happened to

it I have another theory about that see Kim Hope who was k*lled because he was trying to do his job and then mrs.

Higgins was pushed overboard by someone who didn't want a half-shirt in Emerald but wanted a whole well then you

mean Dunn was in with her but you told me you searched his cabin in the Emerald minute no I never had it you just told

me she was her partner no I didn't say that I said her partner was the one who went back to the store to pick it up

well mrs. Higgins could have gone back herself Robert said mrs. Higgins never came back to the shop someone else did

and Kelly and I were there at the time you came back to pick up these spending

$2,000 to pick up 75 thousands a pretty good investment isn't it well that's a

very wild theory captain Oh about as wild is your story about your husband

and your sad past I'll let you know as soon as I search Chicago

[Music]

[Music]

you found me captain may I you don't mind mr. Dunn I'll hang out here until

the police plane gets here where did you have it heat in this jar vanishing clean

the most suitable hiding place a harrowing voyage like this captain is

enough to make a man go straight I'm sorry to say this mr. Dunn but where you're going you won't have much choice

and Tony can I see sure that's what these two Hollies get k*lled for that's

right Sunday's birthday present more pretty than this

and then there were none [Music]
