but I don't want trouble.

Make up your mind:

You stay

or we go on but I'm leaving.

Okay, on to the Garibaldi.

A room for the night.

Have you reserved?

Mme Vercel recommended

her room to me.

Mme Vercel.

She was in room 813,

but it isn't ready.

You can have room 811, next door.

Fine.

Where's your luggage?

It'll be here tomorrow.

But you wanted a room

for one night.

Yes. My luggage will get here

in time for my departure.

Just a minute, please.

Shall I pay in advance?

No, it's alright.

Germaine!

Come here!

You must help me out.

Right now?

It's embarrassing.

Don't tell anybody:

My trick can only make it...

if I'm a maid.

Is he the tax man?

So you must lend me your apron.

- What about me?

- I'll give it back.

Leave it on my shelf when you go.

May I help?

I need a savonette.

No problem. Just ask.

I've got a hunch

you know you way around. Right?

Tell me about her.

I never saw this dame before.

The woman in the panther coat...

She was here this morning.

Was she alone?

Yes, always by herself.

No visitors?

Never...

I bet I know:

The man with her

is your husband, right?

No, he's my brother.

Since room 813 is ready,

can I stay here?

It's alright with me.

I'll just tell the desk.

What's going on?

It's a mistake.

I'm in the wrong room.

I won't let you leave!

Don't run away!

- Who are you?

- Let me go!

Who are you?

What did you do in my room?

LABLACHE DETECTIVE AGENCY

I was wrong to let Vercel go.

I should have kept him here.

But you were with him.

I left him at his house.

He didn't tell me

his wife was back.

I'm sure

he can explain everything.

Chief, a call from Nice.

Nice airport.

Nice airport.

Stop your search.

We've located his car.

He's flown the coop!

Good morning.

Mr. Lablache, please.

He's in conference.

Remember, gentlemen:

Our job is 10% inspiration

and 90% transpiration.

Mr. Lablache?

Let me show you something.

It's the woman I told you about.

Leave us alone.

Put this on.

They won't recognize you.

I'll be frank with you,

I get the picture.

I know about

the incident last night.

The man is a beginner here.

He's not good at shadowing jobs

so we gave him an investigation.

End of story.

- Coffee?

- No, thanks.

We both know

that private detectives

have no right to break and enter.

If I report this to the police,

you'll be in trouble.

I have a hunch

you won't go to the police.

Don't bet on it!

Normally, 9 persons out of 10

would have complained

to the hotel management.

But you came straight here.

What do you want?

My apologies?

I apologize most sincerely.

I direct the most

reputable agency in Nice.

A client requested

a report on a woman.

Yesterday, she was
