Charlie Chan in Honolulu Page #4

Why don't you put that lion

in a cage where he belongs?

- If I do, I'll go in there with him.

- Oh, I've had enough of this.

- You've had enough?

- If you want me, I'll be up on the bridge.

That won't be necessary.

- A-Are you sure you saw a ghost?

- Unmistakably.

Don't you suppose I know-

Look!

Th-There it is n-n-now!

- Come on!

- Oh, no. Not me.

Whoever's in that locker,

come out with your hands up.

- Uh, hello.

- Gosh!

I thought it was-

Say, what are you doin' here?

- Well, you see, I- - Now you get off

this ship before something happens to you.

- But, gee, I wanted to- - Don't you

realize there's a murderer at large?

- Sure! And I know who it is!

- Who?

- The guy with the thick glasses.

- Oh, you mean Dr. Cardigan.

- Yeah. He's been chasin' me all over the ship.

- He has?

What was that?

Oh, just Oscar.

He's a lion.

Lion? G-G-Gosh.

I wish Pop was here.

Yeah, so do I. Say, what's the matter?

Don't you think I can handle this case?

- Yes, but just the same, I-

- Chan?

- Hey, get in there quick. I got work to do.

- Can I help?

Of course not.

This is a man's job.

- I've got part of the crew on deck.

- Okay. Fine.

Say, pardon me for giving you any advice,

but you better go easy on these boys.

- Why?

- They were off duty, and I had to wake 'em up for you.

They're not in a very good humor,

and some of'em are pretty tough eggs.

- But I guess you know your business okay.

- Yeah.

I'll leave you here with the crew

while I round up the passengers.

Thanks.

What's your name?

What's your name please?

Stanislaw Wzdkapopocusky.

Stanislaw W-

We'll skip that.

- Were you a witness to the murder this morning?

- Nay.

Oh.

What about you?

Can't any of you speak English?

Yeah, buddy.

I can.

Swell.

What do you know about the murder?

Nothin'.

Doesn't anybody know anything?

Hey, pipe down, all of you.

This is one of our passengers, Detective

Arnold of the San Francisco Police. Mr. Chan.

Glad to know you, Mr. Arnold.

- Yeah? What's your racket?

- Uh, why, uh-

- This guy's a phony.

- Wh-What do you mean?

I've seen plenty of pictures

of Charlie Chan...

and this chump don't look any more

like him than I do.

- How about that?

- I-I-I can explain everything.

I oughta pinch you for impersonating

an officer of the law.

- But, uh-

- Beat it before I change my mind.

Say the word, sir. We'll put him ashore.

- Go to it.

- Pop!

Pop! Pop! Pop! Let me down!

- One moment please!

- Hold it, men!

Pop!

Gee, I'm sure glad you came.

Honolulu Police frown

on choking bay with bodies.

What in thunder is going on? Come on,

you men. Get down to your quarters.

- Mr. Randolph-

- Come on, men. Break it up.
