Either the effect of the serum

takes too long to wear off...

or it isn't long enough.

It's too dangerous.

No, I must do it again.

I've waited all these years

for her, and...

now, that newspaperman...

I hate him. I hate him.

Mr. Hyde will kill him.

Mr. Hyde will kill him.

The judge

he called me names

I said, "Drive on, James"

Jail's been home

some 47 times

Excuse me,

while I make my change.

You kissed me.

What's wrong with that?

I told you, I believe

in equal rights.

Do you think your guardian

will approve of this?

Of course.

Henry's taken care of me

ever since my father died.

He's been wonderful to me.

Anything that makes me happy

pleases him, too.

Anything that pleases you

pleases me, too.

Now, the only way we can get

back on the police force...

is to capture the monster.

Look, Slim.

What?

If all of Scotland Yard

can't catch him, how can we?

Now look here, we're apt to

find him in any dark doorway.

Hello.

You got a match, governor?

Give him a match.

Here.

Get the kisser on that guy.

Don't get excited.

Hey, look!

There's a burglar.

Come on, let's catch him.

You can catch a burglar any

night, let's get the monster.

No, let's get that burglar, and we'll

get back on the police force. Let's go!

What do you fellows want?

We're the new dance team.

Show him, Tubby.

I'll see you

in the dressing room...

as soon as

I finish the number.

All right.

Why don't you watch it

from out front?

I'd rather watch

from backstage.

Girls.

Girls?

Now listen, we're not looking for

girls. We're looking for a burglar.

Check the rest of these

rooms. I'll check backstage.

There's nobody in here.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

Slim! Slim! Slim!

Slim! Slim!

What's the matter?

The monster's inside.

The monster?

The monster's inside.

Go on inside. I'll hold the

door and keep him from escaping.

Hey, you.

Did you see a big, gruesome-looking

monster come through here?

A big guy, he had the teeth

right down to here.

Do you mean this?

That's the guy.

Slim.

There he is.

Did you take him

for the monster?

Excuse my friend,

he's a little excited.

Excited? He's balmy.

I shall call the manager.

Now listen, that burglar's

around here somewhere.

Get some clues. I know

where to look for clues.

Where do you look for clues?

In the clues closet.

In the clues closet.

Your hat's dirty. All right,

now look for the burglar.

I must be seeing things.

Slim. Slim.

Slim.

Pardon me just a minute.

What's the matter? Come on.

I got the real monster inside.

What do you mean?

He's got big eyes, big teeth,

and a lot of hair on his arms.

Possibly

one of the other actors.

No, this is the monster.
