Ghosts on the Loose (1943)

[bunniefuu]

'Drink to me only with thine eyes...'

That's a beautiful example of musical depression.

Sounded like a broken down durge!

Hey, Dave!

Dave!

What color are your eyes? Blue.

Well if you don't want'em to be black,
you better keep'em open!

I want you to pay some attention
to this lethergian opera.

Benny!

Your dimming a little on your
dimmuindo.

Oh, that's fine! Yea, great!

You! From you, I want a little more sweetness.
But, I'm sing'n sweet!

If you can't sing any sweeter'n that,
you better hum!

And, Rocky?

MF! That's for you.
MF? What does that mean?

Well-a, I don't know. Like it says MF 'der.
What do I know from those Latin abbreviations?

Hey-a, I-a, think it means-a,
'Mis-Feeling, Mis-Feeling'.

Danny? You let me down the woist of all.

Your 'Moderato Obligato' is just a
little bit-ta 'Picato'.

What?

I said I'm awfully sorry, BUT I GOTTA A COLD!

Quick! Quick!
He's in voice! Play it again!

Play it again, I said!

Once more!
'Drink to me only with...'

Oh! That's lovely boys, simply lovely!

'The Rosary' has always been one of my favorite hymns.

Aw! You ain't heard nuthin' yet.
Wait'll we polish it off a little.

Oh, good!

Is she kidding? She must have a tin ear.

Yea! We're pretty good.

I gotta tell you something.
This thing must have some more crashendo.

If you ask me, it's a little bit on the stincatto side.

If you know what I mean.

Now, Struno and Glympy, let's
have your version of this number.

'Drink to me only with...'

They got the beat.
Remember how lousy you was doin' before?

Yea.
See what they're doin' now?

Yea.
Well, I want you to reach a happy medium.

Now, hit that last note.

What are you doin'?
Well, you told me to hit it!

You'll go to jail! I'm a miner!
Give him a pick and send'im home.

I'll give'im a pick on the head!

Come on! More music!
'Drink to me only with...'

That's lovely!
Send your feet to the [inaudible].

Now, don't let me stop you. Keep right
on rehearsing. It's getting better all the time.

Ah Ma! We [inaudible]!

Let's go to my house. It’s quieter there.

Ah, we'll never get rehearsed!

Hey! Look!
Why can't I sing in the quartet?

I used to sing in a quartet with six members.

I can sing in a quartet you know.
I'm a loud singer.

You can't sing at this ceramony.
You're the best man!

I wouldn't say that.
I'm a pretty good.

Your only the best man because
your sister's get'n married.

It don't mean your the best, or it don't
even mean your a man.

Now, do you know what to do
when this ritual starts?

Yea! When the guy ask me for the ring,
I run home and get it.

What do you mean, you'll run home and get it?
You already got it!

I don't see it.

Glimpy? Did you hock that ring?

Ah, Muggs.
You cut me to the quick.

Here's your veil, dear.

Oh! [Inhales]

Oh, you look beautiful!
Oh, Mom! You promised not to cry.

Oh' I know. I know.

But, when I think of you moving clear
out into the country,

into a strange house, you've
never even seen.

It isn't so far.
It's only two miles from the end of the subway.
And, Jack say's it's beatiful.

We were lucky to get it so cheap.

I suppose so. But when I think...

The owners promised to be out today,
and we can move in tonight.

Oh! [Crying!]

Don't worry Mom!
Don't cry. You'll get your nose all red.
Come on. Let's try it on.

'...I would not beg for wi-i-i-ine'.

'...i-i-i-i-ine!'

What is this, Duffy's Tavern?

Hi-ya, Jack!
Mighty nice of you guys, to go
to all this trouble.

You ain't seen nut'n!
Dis' is gonna' be
the most presentatious wedding

that ever, you ever witnessed!
Where's Betty?

Ah, she's in her room see'n which
one of the curtains looks best on her.

Watch out for my glasses!
You want a police escort at this wedding?

Naw, I'm afraid they only go to
society weddings, Muggs.

Do you want police escort?
Well, sure.

I'll get it.
How do you like the place?

How does it look?
Aw' It looks fine.

I think it needs a few more decorations.

Hey', [Inaudible], Skinny, Scruno,

get out there and rustle up
some more flowers.

Oh, that's fine.
More flowers, right now!

Alright! Let's go! Snap on it!

[Inaudible]

What's the matter Jack? Are ya' nervous?
No, not at all. And, I thought I would be.

Oh' Glimpy, before I forget it.
Here, you better take this ring.

Oh, he ain't nervous. Look at his hand.

Hold it and don't lose it.
Oh' I won't. I'll put it right here so you can...

You'll lose it if you put it there.
Keep it on your finger!

Now you won't lose it.
Does this mean were engaged?
Oh' you...

What are you wear'n this afternoon?

Ah' I'm gonna' wear my
black and white, check ensemble.

You can't wear that Zuit-Suit!
This' a serious occasion.

What are you wear'n, Jack?
A tuxedo.

Alright' Danny! Rocky! Go out and get
Glimpy a tuxedo, or a reasonable facsimile.

On our way, Muggs!

Hey, you think I'm gonna wear one of them
monkey suits with a collar and tie?

You'll wear what I tell ya' and you'll like it.

Okay [Inaudible]
Say, has the agent been here with the papers
on the house yet?

Not yet.

Ya' know? I wish I was a big airplane engineer
so I could buy one-a 'dose houses in the sue-burbs.

Ah, the house was a steal Muggs, or I
couldn't a-bought it.

I only hope there isn't anything
wrong with it.

Well, what makes you think
there's anything wrong with it?

...to good to be true.
Ah' You just got those before the weddin' jitters.

You'll get over it...you need a little more experience!

You really think the place looks pretty nice, huh?
Ah, it's fine Muggs.

Yea, it could look better
with some of them pictures on the wall,

those paint'ns, those more'als.

Not more'als! Morals!
Look-uh, do you guys mean 'Murals'?

Oh!; Yea, yea,yea! That's right. He threw me off.
You know, he's a-dumb sometimes.

Look, I gotta...I gotta go make a phone call.
I'll see you later.

Okay!
Hey Muggs, what is it with those sue-burbs?
What are they?

Sue-burbs? Well, that's the place where ya' got no run'n water, ya' got no trolly cars, ya' got nut'n.

Oh! Poor people, huh?
That's right. Let's go.

Hey Dave!

Dave!

Hey, fellas! Look'a here! Look!
Look, I got some flowers!

Put'em back! Put'em back!
All they need's a little water. That's all!

Put'em back!

[Inaudible] look here!
That' supposed to bring good luck!

Oh, that's fine!

No, Muggs said we gotta keep the wedding honest.
Didn't he?

Yea.

Anybody got any string?

Man! Look at all them pretty posies' layin' there.

Must've fallen out of the truck.
Yea. Should I call him back?

Yea, you better.
[Whispering] Hey Mister! You dropped your flowers!

I guess he didn't hear me.
Too bad! Shall we?

Well, I guess that serves everything, Mr. Gibson.
You have the papers and the keys to the house and

I hope you'll both be very happy in it.

Well, thank you very much.
Oh! How about the present owners?
Have they moved yet?

Oh, they'll be out in plenty of
time for you move in.

I hope so.
After all, it's our honeymoon, you know?

Oh, sure, sure. I understand.
I was married myself once.

Boy, will I ever forget that?

Well, maybe you'll have better luck!
I hope so.

Oh! How about the house?
You say it's in pretty good condition.

Well, it could stand a little fixing up, maybe.

By the way, your not superstitious, are ya'?
Why?

Well, the old couple are trying to tell me that
the house next door is haunted.

Haunted?
Yes, but you know how old people are!

Always imagining things!
But of coarse, it's a lot a' nonsense.

Well, goodbye, Mr. Gibson.
Bye.

And may the house soon
be filled with many pleasant memories!

Thanks a lot.
Bye.
Bye.

Okay. Here's everything except the shoes.

You don't need them do you?
Oh' no thanks. He's got his own shoes.

And this collar may be a little small for Glimpy,
but it's the best I can do.

Oh, that's alright. Glimpy has a small neck anyways.

Yea, this is swell. We'll take good care of it too.

Well, make sure you get it back tonight.

I need it for 'Louie the Lug' tomorrow.

Okay! Come on, Rocky. Right, Danny.

What the matter, Jack?
Nothing, Mrs. Williams. Nothing at all.

Look! Can I see Betty just for a minute?

Oh, I should say not!
Why, don't you know it's bad luck
for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.

Oh, Mom. Just for a minute.
No, you'll be seeing her soon enough.

Now, you run along and play the piano.
Okay!

We was just downtown and we heard
some detectives down there, talkin' about a

mob gonna' break in on Jack Gibson's weddin'.

We didn't think you'd like any of those downtown guys

comin' up here and makin' a pinch right
under your nose.

I see. Who's mob is it?

We didn't get none of the details.
We's in a hurry.

I think they said
it was one of the 'Kacsmin Mob'.

Okay! I'll have a
couple of the men take care of it.

The address is 32 east 33rd Street.


Yea, at five o'clock.

Five o'clock. Alright boys.
Thanks Lieutenant.

We'll return the favor someday.

Hey, Shorty! Would you mind sitin' over 'der'?
'Dat chair is reserved for da' bride's 'mudder.

Okay, thanks.

Stand still, will 'ya?

Ah, Ya' look swell Glimpy!
What's the trouble?

Ah, we can't get this collar on.

You can't get the coller on, huh?

Stand back. Let me take a crack at it.

Grab'im from the back, Danny.

Now, push in a little bit. Take a deep breath.

Now hold it.

Let's see. This one goes in here.

Alright now...
I thought I told you to hold it.

What do you think I am, a poil diver?
Look, don't give me no opposition.

Just do like I tell ya'!

Now pull in your addam's apple.

Pull it in! Come on! I'm gettin' it!

I'm gettin' it! Don't move!

Don't...! I'm gettin' it!

Now...!
I thought I told you to hold your breath?
Pull in your addam's apple!

He can't...
He can't breath!

I got it!

He's alright! Get'im up.
Let'im relax his muscles .

There ya' are. How's that?
[Choking!]
Good!

How's yer' voice, Danny?
Much better I think.

Well, don't use it until ya' have to sing.

[Choking] Tight! Oh, it's all in your mind.

That's not tight.
Ya' got lots a' room there.

There ya' are!
Ya' see that?

Muggs, look what we got.

Yea, Muggs. Look at this!
Ah' that's beautiful. Now that's got some class.

What's that?
What?

'Rest in Peace'?

In loving memory of
'Louie the Lug' from the g*ng.

We didn't mean to sh**t ya' Louie!
Honest!

Where did you get that?

On the street.
Yea! On a truck.

Fell off.

You know that's sacrilerious?
No kiddin'?

Take it back!

You guys ain't got no conscience.

You [Inaudibe] of a thing like this?
Hey, wait a minute.

Come back.

I don't suppose it'd be anymore sacrilegious

if we brought it back after the weddin'.

Put it in the parlor.

Wait a second.

Better return that after the weddin'.
Take it away.

Here. Hold on to those.

Gee, that's funny. This is Louis's suit.

What're ya' doin'?
I ain't wearin' this!

Don't worry about nuthin'.
Louie don't need that suit until tomorrow!

Yea, but can't I wear
my check suit with the belt in the back?

No, ya' can't! This' a high class weddin'!
Your gonna wear that suit, right there!

Ah, but Muggs, this suit belonged to Louie!

I bet I know what k*lled him.
This collar choked him to death!

What'a takin' the collar off for?
What's the matter with you?

Ahhh, Fellas!
Fellas, I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!

They must not move into that house, I tell you.

You made one mistake

by not buying it from the Elwoods.

Now, don't make another mistake.

Get the place from Gibson.

Yea, but Gibson's getting married today!

Why don't we just wait?
You question my orders?

No! It isn't that, Emil!
It's just that-a

well, I can't see why this guy would
be any worse in that house than the Elwoods.

Beschränkt!

That old couple was too frightened.

But, nobody knows what this young fool will do.

Alright, Amos. I'll get it.
And try to use your head.

Get him alone.

Alright.

And don't take that off again!

You fellas ready yet?
It's about time to get started.
What's the matter?

Glimpy's neck is a little bit too
big for the collar. But it's okay now.

Where's the tie?

Here it is. Well, put it on.

Jack, there's a fella outside
who says he has to see you.

I can't see him now. I'm getting married.
He says it's important.

Who is it?
I don't know but he
says it'll just take two minutes.

Okay! I'll be right back, fellas.

Hi, Jack.

Ah, Tony! Haven't seen you for a long time!
Where've you been?

I been busy.
I know you're in a hurry and
I won't take up much of your time.

I wanna buy that house on Elm Street.

Don't be crazy. I just bought it myself!

I know ya' did and I know
what ya' paid for it.

I represent a party that-a

well, they're willing to
double what you gave for it.

What?

Why do they want my place?
What differance does it make?

They want it
and they're willing to pay for it.

Well, the answer's no!
Now, wait a minute.

You can't take a bride in a house like that.

Look, suppose you tell me what all this mystery about that house is, huh?

Have'nt ya' heard?
You know that big estate next door?

Uh-huh.

It's haunted!

What d-ya' know?
Alright! Laugh if you like. But-a,

why do you think they sold it to you so cheap?

Who lives next door

and why do they want my place?

Well, let's say that they're eccentric.

They don't like neighbors.

Awright. Now that's perfect.
Don't touch nuthin'.

Okay, line up like I told ya'.

and don't forget your crescendos and diminuendos

and I don't want no altercations in the lyrics.

Let's go.

Your out-a step, ya' lug.

[Choking again]

...so you can see why you don't
wanna take your wife to a place like that!

No, I guess I don't, but

she has her heart set on going
there tonight.

I understand. Look Jack!

Here's $500 to bind the deal.

Why don't ya' take your wife away for a few days,
you know, on a honeymoon?

You have to do that anyway.
Explain about the house when ya' get back.

If I had more time. I...

Oh look, forget all about
business 'til you come home.

Here, when you get ready to close the deal,

write me at this address.
They'll get in touch with me.

The place next to mine, huh?
Yea.

The haunted house!

Well, okay.

Look Jack, just a word of warning.
When you do get back, write to me.

Don't drop in!
Okay. I'll see you later.

Hey, Dave!

Dave!

'Drink to me only with thine eyes...'

Are you ready, Glimpy? [Chokes].

Come on.

Dave!

'Here comes the bride...'

'Here comes the bride...' [Continues...Stops]

Dearly beloved,

We are assembled here today, to join this man

and this woman in holy marriage.

For as much as these two persons

should come hither to be
made one in this holy estate,

if there be any here, present who know any just cause

why they may not lawfully be joined in marriage,

I reqire him now to speak

or forever hold your peace!

I now pronounce you, 'Man and Wife'.

'Wedding March...'

Hey g*ng. Glimpy's gettin' aksphicksiated!

He's suphacatin'!

[Inaudible confusion] ...coller off.

...he's not dead... ...ventilation!

There ya' are!

Ya' alright now? Ya' feel good?
Fine.

Betty, why don't you invite
us all over to your new home?

We could have a party.
Well, I'd like to very much Daddy, but...

No, It's alright, Darling.

Were not going out there tonight anyway.

Not going out to our new house?
But... Jack, why not?

Well it...well, I made some extra money so

I thought we'd take a little trip first.

You know! A honeymoon!

You know anything about that, Glimpy?
News ta' me.

Well, the place needs
an awful lot of fixing up, ya' know!

Oh, yea?

I-I hope you do not mind, Darling.
Oh no, Darling.

Anything you want to do is alright with me.

You got lipstick all over your face!



That must be his new house.
[Inaudible]

Well, folks. I guess we'd better go.
Come on, Darling.

...throw my bouquet.
[Girls Yelling]

[Crowd chatter]

What do you got there, Scruno?
Man, this is rice.

What's the idea with the pan?

Nuthin'!
I just had my Momma
to cook it so it'd be nice and soft.

Aw-heh! I see what ya' mean.

Hey! Where are those
gangsters that're supposed to be here?

Gangsters? Yea, gangsters!

Well-a, maybe they lost the address or-a,

maybe ya' scared'em away.
Yea, you look like an old time scarer.

Why don't you use some diplomacy?

I got my diploma when I graduated from school.

What'd you graduate, kindergarten?

No, I skipped kindergarten. I was too old.

[Crowd chatter]

Raw vanilla! Louie isn't gonna like this!

You shouldn't have sold that nice
young couple the house without warning them.

Ah, Sarah. There's no use starting
something that we can't actually prove.

You know in your heart John,

there's something going
on in that house
next door that isn't strictly honest.

But we don't know positively, Sarah.

Why John Elwood!

How can you say that after all we've
seen and heard in the last six months?

Now, now! Let's not talk about it anymore.

We are out of
there and finished with the whole thing.

Well, I'm not finished with it!

What are you going to do?
Phone the police!

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

They'll ask a lot of questions and the
first thing you know we'd be held
as material witnesses.

They don't have to know who
gave them the information.

I wouldn't do it now, Sarah.
Well, I would!

Give me the police.

Police department.
Lieutenant Brady speaking.

This is Mrs. John G...

I wish to report some mysterious goings-on
at 322 Elm Street.



What kind of goings-on?

Oh, there's noises and screams and people
going in and out

all hours of the night.
All kinds of funny businesses.

Who is this speaking?
This is Mrs. John G...

Hello! Hello!

Trace that call.

Send in Mulligan and O'Brien.

Well, I think that's the place.

Don't look very cheerful though, does it?

It certainly do not!
Well, come on. Get your tools.

We got a hard nights work.

Come on, Glimp.

Oooh! Look at the beautiful flowers!

Ya' can't put ketchup on flowers.

Hey, this-a pretty big place for
two people ain't it?.

Yea.

Hey, there's a house down there, looks
more like the place Jack was talkin' about.

Yea, it does at that.
What'd I do with that card?

Hey, Glimpy. My eyes ain't so good.
What's the number on that house?


Well, what the number on that card?


This must be the place then.

Looks like it.
Hey, what are you guys waitin' for?

Want-a decorate this house tonight,
not tomorrow. Let's go!

We're comin'! We're comin'!
Come on, guys! Lets's go!

Ah'right.

You got all the accessories?
Yea, we got everything.

Hey, Glimpy. Gi'me the key.

[Keying music note] Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi!
'Drink to Me Only...'

Shut up! The key to the house.
What key? Ya' crazy?

Lucky I got the address.

That's a little detail we
overlooked, I guess.

Well, let's go home.
Yea...
So long...

Come back here.
Ain't ya' got no ahnginuity?

Gi'me that hammer.

Remind me to put
a new glass in there in the mornin'.

Hey, Muggs! Watch out.
You might cut your jugular vein.

What the matter with you guys?
You scared?

No. Not a bit.
Alright, then go on in.

The rest of you guys can proceed me.

What's eatin' you?
Man, if I get lost in there,

aint nobody ever gonna find me!

We'll find ya'. Don't worry.
In ya' go.

In who go?
In we all go!

Come on! Quit stallin'! Go on! Quick!

We got work to do.

Alright Glimp.
Ah, don't ya' think the lawn needs water'n ?
Stuff like that?

What do ya' gonna do, take the water
off your knees?
Get in there!

It's kinda misty in here.
Anybody got a match?

Watch out! You'll scare the bats.

Yea, that's better.

Take a look in here.

Well, Jack wasn't kid'n when he said this place
would need fixin' up.

Look at that!
No curtains. No drapes. No lamps.

No nicknacks. No nuthin'.

Where we gonna get some furniture?

How 'bout that house next door?

What about it?
I saw a sign that says-uh,
this house 'completely furnished'.

What do you want us to do,
buy anuther house?

Na! Just buy the furniture.
Let someone else buy the house.

That's good!
That's the best idea you had in ten years!

Let's go take a look, fellas.
Put that stuff down.

Max, there's boys in the house!
What'll we do?

We'll make this place look like a million bucks.

Hey, the door is open!
Hmm! They must trust their neighbors.

Wow! This is really nice!

Lamps, drapes, books, everything.

I wonder why he bought that old house
next door, instead a-dis one?

Well, I guess there wasn't
enough room in the yard for a victory garden, huh?

We could sure make some
improvements over 'der with this stuff.

Yea, but are ya' think we should really
take these things?

Wa, soyit'nee! Jack can pay for it later.

Soyit'nee! I don't care. I'm his bruda'n-law.

It's good for me, it's good enough for my sister.
Start movin' 'der. Just start movin'...

Pick up somethin'.
Don't pick up nuthin' heavy.

[Chatter]

Good evening, sir.
Good evening.

Oh-uh, can you give us a room and a bath?
Yes sir.
Ha, ha, ha...

What's funny dear?
Oh, that's an old joke.

I say 'Can you give us a room and a bath?'

And then he's supposed to say,
'Well, I can give you a room but,

you'll have to take the bath yourself.'
[Both] Ha, ha, ha...

Really? Would you care to register, sir?

Thanks.

There! How does that look, Mrs. Gibson?

I like it, very much.

Oh-a, are you John Gibson?
Oh' yea. Yea, look here.

Got my-uh, my draft card,

social security, driver's license,
automobile club, uh...

...do you wanna see a marriage certificate?

No thank you. I have a message for you.

Message?

Call Chelsea 5518,

apartment 243.

Who the dicken's is Chelsea 5518?

I don't recognize the number.
It sounds like a hotel.

They said it is most urgent.
Oh, they did huh?

Well, where's the phone booth?
Right over there, sir.

Oh? Well-a, come on darling.
Hold it for me, huh?
Yes, sir.

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

Yes, this is room 243.

This is John Gibson. What can I do for ya'?

Oh! Mr. Gibson!

It's about your house.
This is Mrs. ...John G. Elwood.

I thought you should know
the truth about it.

What you mean?

Uh-huh'
Uh-huh' Look...

Well, look... When we go there,
I'll take along a big box of ghost powder.

Well, I just wanted you to know that
I've reported it to the police,

and they should be out there by now.

Well, what'd you do that for?

Well, of course I mind.
I don't want alot 'a cops pokeing around out there.

Well, okay, okay. Look...
Well, just forget it.

Alright! Goodbye.

What's the matter, Darling?
Oh' it's Mrs. Elwood.

She sent the police to
investigate the place next door to our house.

There's something fishy about the whole thing.

Hhh... I'm glad we didn't go out there now.

Aren't you? Well, I'm not. I...

I think we ought-a go out there right now!
Right now?
Yep!

But Honey!

Come on Darling. Don't be frightened.
Who said anything about being frightened?

Oh' ...here ya're.

Let's go Darling.

Oh! You got a nice hotel here.
We sure enjoyed our stay!

Come on, Darling.

Short day!

Alright, come on! Step on it!
You ain't gettin' no overtime fer'dis!

This stuff is heavy.

Hey, Dave!

Come on! Wake up! Come on!,
Get out-a 'der and take that chair with ya'!
I'll clear the path for ya'.

Don't drop that glass on the way out!

[Chatter]

Okay! Lay it down right here!

Now we got somethin' to work with.

You two fellas, start to put up the
wallpaper over'der,

and Rocky and Danny, you put up the
curtains and drapes.

And get'em nice and cylindrical.

Glimpy? You can sweep!
Thanks Chief.

What are you doin'?
You told me I could sleep.

Not sleep, sweep!

Now get up off-der and go to work!
Dust off that rug!

Okay Chief. What're you gonna do?
I got'a think. I'm the supervisor.

Ah' Why do I always have to do stuff for?

I'll tell ya' a consolidation.

Do a good job, and I will reduce your dues
for the next three months.

Thanks Chief!

Don't split that wood with those screws.
What is this for, Muggs?

And don't get too much glue on that paper.
It sticks out through 'der. Makes lumps.

That goes under the curtains, not on over them.
Didn't you ever dress no houses?

No.

What are those lights doing on?

Who is that in there?
That g*ng of kids.

They're friends of Jack Gibson.
You know, the guy who bought the house next door.

Is this some more of your bungling, you stupid fool?

How'd I know they were coming out here?

I'll get rid of them though.
Come on, Bruno.

Yea. Let me get my hands on them.

Wait a minute!

Why do I have such idiots around me?

Let's find out what Hilda knows about it.

How did those kids get into the house?
They broke in. Are they still here?

Yes! Where's Monk?
I don't know. He went up to see.

Idiots! Imbecils! All of you!

Come Tony!

[Achschoo]

What's that?

[Deep Growl]

[Screams]

What's the matter?
The altitude too much for ya'?

No! No! No! Look!
That picture up there!

He's alive!
Who's alive?

Him! Him! Up there!

In the first place, it's not a him. It's a her.

Please believe me.
Her was a him, a minute ago!

Ah, you're seein' things.

Seein' things?
Man, I heard him growl!

Alright, take it easy now.
Relax! You been drinkin' too much coffee.

What coffee?
Hey, where'd ya' get it? Where'd ya' get it?

Go to work!

Come on! Step on it!

Come on, Danny!
Get those doilies on.

Maybe we should-a brought
a straight level, make sure they was even.

Coffee drinker.

Hey, Napoleon must
be awful hot with that coat on.

That's the best example of slow motion I ever seen.
Come on! Hurry up!

Glimpy, we'll play statues later.

Get back on that broom!
I was just tryin' to figure out where I-a,

if I should sweep that dust from here into the hall,

or the dust from the hall in here.
Just sweep it clockwise.

'kay, Chief!

Napoleon ...!

Hey, Muggs! Muggs!

You warm? You warm?
No I'm not warm. Why?

Napoleon took his coat off.
He had it on. He took it off.

Look.

He took his coat off, huh?

You look!

Well, wha-d'ya know?
He put it back on.

What's goin' on around here, anyway?
You goin' goofy too?

Don't answer that.
Just go over there and lay down next to Scruno.

Wait a minute...
Shut up!

Let's not have any animosity.

Hey, Scruno!
Yea?

Are you sure you saw what you saw?

Sure, I'm sure.
Me too. I tried to tell Muggs.

I went back there sweeping'.
I got a broom

and I look up at Napoleon,
he's got his coat on, standin' like this.

Then I turn'd around and he's got...

[Both Sceaming]

Where are you goin'?

What're you doin' up there?

Hey look! Now he's in his long drawers!

Get down off 'der.
I'm gonna send you to an optimist
and have your eyes examined.

Come on down!

Huh?

If I have to go up there and get ya',
I’ll stab ya' with one-a those horns!

Now, I want you two to quit clownin'!

Clownin'? Who's clownin'? Quit clownin'?
The [Inaudibe] was like...

[Ahhh!]

Stop actin' like a couple hysterical dames.

Who's actin' like a 'sterical dame?

I saw it and Scruno saw too.
Didn't ya', Scruno?

Nuthin' else but!
Come on. Let's go home!

I ought-a slug the both a-ya'!
Your imaginin' things.

It's all in yer' mind.

[Demonic laughter...]

Now, who's mind is that in?

You hear that?
Soyit'nee, I heard it. You think I'm deef?

Come on. Let's go home.
We ain't gonna go no-place.

We're gonna find out what that was.
What'd he say?

We're gonna find out what that was.
When you guys

find out what it was,
I'll be in the car waitin' for ya'.

You'll wait right there. I said, we're
going to find out what it was and I meant it.

Hey, Glimpy.
Huh?

You go first.
Right.

What am I sayin'?

What's the matter? Ya' scared?

Scared? I'm not scared-a nuthin'
but I'm not goin' out there.

You wanted to go out, you go out there.

You gonna let me go up there all alone?

[Both] Yea!

Remind me, when we get back to town,
to give you the iron cross for bravery,

right over the skull.

Sure, I'll go find out what it was.

What are you doin'?

The noise came from that direction.

Oh-a, yea.

I thought maybe-shortcut over 'der [mumbles].

One O'Clock!

And all ain't well, no how!

Aw' there's nuthin' to worry about.

[Loud bang and demonic laughter]

Muggs, let's go home now!

Just for that, your gonna go first!
Me?

Yea, you! Now go on! Get up 'der!

[Chatter] Let you go first!
Go on! Go up 'der, all-a 'ya!

Go on! I'm gonna be last for a change.

Glimpy! Get up...!

Well, do you see anything?

No.
[Cryptic] 'No!'

Who 'dat?
[Cryptic] 'Who 'dat?'

Who say, who 'dat, when I say who 'dat?

[Cryptic] 'Who say,
who 'dat, when I say who 'dat?'

What's the matter with you?

That's just an echo.
[Cryptic] '...just an echo.'

See that? What'd I tell ya'?
There's nothin' to be scared of.

[Cryptic] That's what you think!

Well boys! Here we go again!
[Chatter] Wait for me!

Open the door! Open the door!
Open the door!

Open this door!
Uh-oh! There go that echo again!

Are they are gone?
Yes! In the cellar.

Oh'...oooh, that's bad, isn't it?

Get them out of there, quick!

Open the door.

Hey Pat, give me a hand.

Take a look in there!

What's that, Muggs?
Looks like a printin' press.

Jack never told me he had a printin' press.

Huh' 'How to destroy the Allies.'

'What the new order means to you'

'How to destroy the Allies.'

What are they doing?

Let me see.

Look.

The kids have found
the printing press and everything.

Shall I take care of them?

No! We have company up there too. The police!

The Gestapo! Did you hear? The Gestapo!

No, just two American detectives.

Probably dumb ones too.

Don't worry about them. Let me see.

Hey, that sounds like spies.

Yea! You think Jack's mixed up with'um?

I don't know. This is his house.
Naw! Jack wouldn't have nothin' to do with the Nazis.

I hope not.

What you mean, Muggs?

Well, he told us not to come out here, remember?
Yea, you're right.

And, he had a lot of extra dough when he left too!
Where did he get that?

That's probably where this stuff comes in.

Yea! And how could he buy
a big house like this if...?

Ah, you shut your big mouth?
You wanna get your punch'n right in the nose?

Aw, stop droolin'.

We gotta figure this thing out.
This is no time to argue!

My own bruther-in-law!
I can't believe it.

I'll never be able
to face the Boy-Scouts again.

Aw, don't feel bad, Glimpy.

We're not sure it was your bruther-in-law.
We're only guess'n.

What a'ya got on your mind, Muggs?

I don't know.

If anybody else found that stuff here,
I know what they'd think!

Yea, that's right.

Maybe we better get it out 'a here.

Where we gonna take it?
Why don't ya' put it in the house next door?

Don't hit me!
Don't hit me!

Way you act, you'd
think I was a bully or sumthin'.

That's a good idea!
Put it in the house next door.

Come on! Move it, fellas!
Watch your hands...

They're taking the press out.

Let them do it.
But, they're taking the press!

Let them take the evidence next door.

They'll remove all suspicions from us.

Find anything in there?
Naw, nothin' in there.

I'll go take a look up stairs.

Okay?

Go over the room thoroughly
and see that nothing's left to incriminate us.

Yes sir.

Tony, you come with me.

Git'up!

It was okay, let'n Gibson buy that house, huh?

Yes, that was a lucky mistake, you made.

Noth'n in there.
Huh?
Noth'n there.

Oh, we'll go see what's downstairs, then.

Uh, that door wasn't open before, was it?.

Was that door there when we come in?

Was that door there when we came in!

No! It just this minute grew!

Come on! Let's go!

I sure hope Jack
appreciates what we're doin' for him.

He certainly should.

As his bruther-in-law, I personally
thank 'ya, one and all!

Noth'n down here.
Doesn't look like it.

Hey, I got an idea. Let's call the cops.

What, with our fingerprints all over 'der?

The best idea you can get is get anymore ideas.

Let's see if the people in that little place
know anything about it.
...okay.

Wish I'da left that door open.

Hey, there's Jack and Betty!

Sure got them out of a tight spot just in time!

Well, Darling, there's our little love nest!

Oh, Jack. It's wonderful!
Yea.

Huh! With a couple of cops hammering at the door.

I wonder who that is. Lets have a look.

Oh, find anything?
Uh, no.

No. There's no one around here.

Say, by the way, who might you be?
I'm Jack Gibson and this is my wife.

We just bought that little place.
Oh, I see.

Uh-oh! We got our signals crossed.

Jack bought that little house, not the big one.

Ay Caramba!
You're right.

We gotta get that press back out'a-der.

Let's go.

Well, we were sent
out to look over that big place there.

Yes I know. Ah, people we bought our house from
seem to think somthing funny is going on.

We couldn't find anything wrong.
Probably their imagination.

You know how old folks are.

Well, we'll be heading back to the station now.

If you hear anything, give us a ring.

Well, I don't think we will bother you tonight!

Well, good night. Good night.

Hey, what're you whisper'n about?
Ouch!

[Chattering]

Well, let's go.

Key out.

It's open!

This's for luck.

Well Darling, here we are. Look it over!

Okay! We'll put that
press back where it was and show it to the cops!

Car 17, Mulligan speaking.

We just looked the place all over.

There's nothin' here but a couple of newlyweds.

Looks a little bare, doesn't it?

I can't understand it.

There should be more furniture here.

Yea, it would help but I still
think it's awful cute!

Watch it! Easy!

Need some help?

There 'ya are.
Thanks.

Leave it just the way it was, now.

Okay, let’s tell the law.
Come on!

Guess I may as well get the grips.

Okay. We're comin' right in.
Let's go...

Hey! Hey!

What'd 'ya think a-that? Their car's gone!

Who?
The cops!
...awful?

Hey Muggs!

What are you doing here?
That's what I was about to ask you.

Oh, that's a long story.

We was decorat'n that house.
Yea! We thought it was yours.

We found a print'n press with alota n*zi propaganda.

Yea, we thought it was yours.
So we moved it over here.

Yea, we found out that was yours.
So we moved it back again.

n*zi propaganda!
Sure.

So that's why they didn't want us to come out here.

Why didn't you phone the police?
We thought it was yours.

Is there a phone next door?
Yea, but that ain't yours.

Well, come on.

[Chatter]

'Der it is.

Get me police headquarters.

Hello. This is 322 Elm Street.

...send a couple of men out here, right away!

Yea, tell'em about the Nazis.

Yes, I know they've been here, but send'em back.

Yes, they're gone.
That's right. Thank you.

Quick! We must get the press back to the cottage.
They're calling the police.

Hurry up!

Come on! Let's go! Pick it up.

Calling Car 17.
Calling Car 17.

Return at once to 322 Elm Street!

Urgent. That is all.

We just came from there!

Let's go.

They ought'a be here in any minute.
Who?

I'll leave'ya a clue.

Here 'dey are now. Come on, Jack.
Okay.

We tried to call 'ya back but 'ya didn't hear us.
There's alot a intimidatin' evidence in that house!

Hey, what is this, a gag?
These boys've found a printing press in the basement

with alot of subversive literature
all over the place.

Must be a n*zi hideout.
How 'bout the people? Seen any signs of them around?

Heard a lot of noises.
Didn't see no people.

We better take a look.
Yea, follow me.

I got all the evidence down in the cellar.
[Chatter]

Leave it there.

Well, can 'ya picture that!
I must be hav'n optical delusions.

What's the matter?
Well, there was a printin' press here,
ten minutes ago.

Just got up and walked away, huh?

Well, if ink can run,
I guess a print'n press can walk.

That's right! You can still see the ink
on our hands, from where we touched it.

That dirt could'a been on your hands for
the last 6 months for all we know.

Come on. We better get out'a here
before we start seeing things ourselves.

I'm tellin' 'ya... [Chatter]

All right, allright! It was there and you saw it,

but it ain't there now!

I can't figure this thing out. We seen that
press with our own eyes.

So did I. That's what I said.

It couldn't just disappear.

Somebody must'a taken it out'a here.
Ya know, I think...

Yea? I'll do all the think'n around here!

Alright, go ahead, think. You're always
thinkin'...think awhile...
You think your such a smart guy...

Hey, Muggs! Look!

What do 'ya think that's for? Mice!

Mice!

You'll never learn nut'n will 'ya?

Hey! I bet that's how
they got that press out'a here!

Keep quiet. You follow me.

Nobody'n there. Let's go home. Come on!

...what are you, a coward?

Go in there already.

[Screaming and yelling!]
...I'll punch 'ya right'n the nose!

Come on, Sam. No, wait a minute.

That's funny.
Now what?

Those lights in my cottage.
I turned'em out.

Now, the lights are turning themselves
on and off. Come on Sam.

Go ahead if you want'a, but I want to see
for myself. Come on, Darling.

I 'wanna find out...too.

Well, doggone! Folks, looky here!

Hmmm. Well, what's this?

Looks like the printing press.
Yea! So it does. So it does!

Ahh! What are these?
What do these look like?

Looks like the same things we-all's been
tellin' you-all's about.

What's it doing here?

That's somthing you'll get a chance to explain
and you'd better think fast!

Now look, you don't think this belongs to me?

This is your home, isn't it?
Yes, but...

We better find Muggs and tell him.
You ain't kidd'in!

Come on.

[Screaming and yelling!]

[Screams and yells continue!]

Benny...a trapdoor!

Be quiet!

Help! Help!

Aw, 'ya...ape!

Come on Benny!

Get the rest of the fella's.

Listen Officer, this is absolutly ridiculous.

All I know is the press is on your property.

I'll have to take you to headquarters
and talk to the lieutenant.

Hey, fella's! Jack, come're!

They're down in the tunnel. They got Muggs
and Glimpy and they took'em to a room.

Alright!
But this is the last time I'll believe any of you.

O'Brien, beat it back to the house.
Go down'n the basement.

I 'll look down the tunnel.

...the first time since
I knew 'ya, you couldn't say nuthin'.

Are you kiddin'?

You better wait here, Honey. You boys stay with her.
Okay, Jack.

Hurry up! They got Muggs and Glimpy in there!
Let me have a crack at it.

Hey, what's that?
Must be somebody in there.

Must be someway t'get in there.

...look around here.

We better get out of here, boss.
Yes!

Come on!

[Chatter]

Follow me! I'll show 'ya.

Get ready!

Hey, Glimpy!
Glimp!

Hey, Muggs! Muggs!

Hey, Glimpy!
Naaa!

It's Muggs.

Hey, Muggs?

Why don't you go home and get dressed?

Glimpy! Look!

Fine time to be playin' leap frog.
Let me at'm. You in shape, Honey? Let's go!

What's the matter kid? Don't 'ya feel good?

Come on! Come on kid, Muggs.

You're alright kid! Steady...wake up, wake up!

The winner and new champ.
I knew you could do it, kid.

What a honeymoon!

You always gotta' do everything the hard way.

Everybody else, plain ordinary, common measles.

But you go out and dig up German Measles!

What'a you pickin' on me for?
I didn't know 'dem guys were Nazis?

Don't you know I'm sick?

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh. I'll put one on 'ya.

Don't Glimy! I apologize.

And remember, you've got 7 days more to go!
