Silence please, ladies and

gentlemen.

This is your host

Mr. O. ..

What's going on here? What kind

of a practical joke is this?

It's on the record.

Out with it fly.

It is called swan song.

May I ask who put this on the gramophone?

- I did, sir.

-- Why?

I did not know what it was.

I..!

- I was just obeying orders, sir. That's all

-- Whose orders?

Mr. Owen's- Oh.

- Let's get this quite clear.

Mr. Owen's orders

were what exactly?

to put the record on it at 9 O'clock.

It was sealed.

I thought it was just a piece of music.

It's the truth, sir!

I have not seen Mr. Owen.

I was telling my wife.

I told you we did not come here!

I want to get away!

-- I won't touch that money!

-- Shut up!

First thing to do, Rogers, is to take

your wife to bed.

May I have your attention please.

This letter ...

... to Rogers is

signed by U. N. Owen.

I must confess I do not

know Mr. Owen personally.

What kind of a man is he?

Who knows him?

We all come to a house

we don't know the host!

What about yourself,

Your Highness?

Oh, with me it is different.

I am a professional guest.

-- I wish we should never come here!

-- Quiet, Ethel!

I knew somebody was

to find it out some day!

-- I told you!

-- Shut up, I tell you!

She is quite out of nerve,

doctor.

Hysteria induced by

shock. Give her a sedative.

10 drops in half a

glass of water.

Yes, sir.

If she doesn't sleep, repeat

the dose in 2 hours.

I hope she'll sleep, doctor.

Dr. Armstrong, we'll take

an army evidence ...

... except your own. What is

your reason for being here?
