Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum Page #4

It'll ruin everything this place, your racket.

What can I do?

It may turn out the way he says.

- You know it can't.

- My throat, it's very dry.

[Door Closes]

[Loud Thunderclap]

[Tapping On Glass]

- Am I too late?

- We're closed up, ma'am.

But you said you'd let me in.

You told me Dr. Von Brom was coming.

Oh, I I forget.

I thought you were

Joe Rocke's friend.

I am. I am.

He's my pal.

Then... give him this.

Oh, no, no.

I never touch those things.

You know he needs

protection tonight.

- He's in great danger.

- Yeah. That's right.

You can't letJoe down.

Uh, you take it to him.

No, no. Not that way.

[Whispering]

This way. This way.

Use the upstairs way

and then go right home.

I understand.

Gotta make my rounds and

Where's my clock?

[Rain Pouring]

Bad night, ain't it, Frank?

You know about people.

They open windows and they never close 'em.

Who did that?

- Who did that?

- [Thunderclap]

[Muttering]

[Door Closes]

[Thunderclap]

[Room Door Hinges Creak]

[Hollow Knock]

[Hollow Knock]

[Thunderclap]

[Yelps]

- Lily, you wanna give me a test?

- Sure.

One, two, three.

Testing.

- One, two, three. Testing.

- Okay.

The Crime Museum

is honored by your visit, Mr. Chan.

Of course, you recollect the tragedy

of the Broadway Butterfly.

Here are some more

of my wax creations.

This is Jack the Ripper,

London's mystery murderer of the year 1888.

He was never caught.

And here we have Henry Dsir Landru...

the Bluebeard of Paris.

They say that he destroyed 40 women

in that very same stove.

Excellent likeness.

Oh. Here's Mr. Agnew now.

Well, we're all ready downtown

for Charlie Chan.

[Engineer]

I'm nearly ready here.

- Mr. Tom Agnew, the director

and announcer of our program.

- Glad to know you, sir.

- [Cream] Miss Latimer, my assistant.

- Miss Latimer.

How do you do, Mr. Chan?

And Mr. Edwards, our engineer.

- Is Mary here yet?

- She's with Dr. Von Brom, looking at the exhibits.

Von Brom?

You didn't tell me he was in this show.

[Cream]

Sort of a last-minute idea.

I didn't come prepared

to handle two masterminds.

I'm sorry, Tom. I phoned to tell you,

but you weren't in.

[Von Brom, Laughing]

Ach, liebes Frulein.

Do I know these men?

This is the Butcher Dagan.

I see him in Chicago many years ago.

I have a photographic memory.

My eyes, they never forget

anything they see once

you know, uh the, uh, face,

the shape of the head.

It is my scientific training.

- Wasn't he killed many years ago?

- Ja. Murdered.

My friends, good evening.

Mr. Chan, I'm here.

- Delighted, Dr. Von Brom.

- We are ready, ja?

- Looks like we'll have a swell show tonight.
