blonde air believed to be wearing a black and white diamond dress and silver sandals seems her cousin works at the hotel i'll bring her over to identify the body [Music] [Applause] [Music] shallow [Music] any chance of a china you think a man didn't well wasn't it any particular man miss turner no i do so she was your cousin marshy miss turner that's right poor kid i've known her all my life not particularly well but she was a dancer and too that sort of thing and what was she doing in it was because of me i'm the dance and bridge hostess a majestic hotel apart from the bridge i do a couple of exhibition dances each evening with raymond raymond raymond starr a tennis and dancing pro handsome chap got a bit of argentinian in him anyway about a month ago i slipped on the rocks after having swim gave my ankle a nasty turn that bit of stopped to the dancing for a while and as i didn't want to risk losing my job i suggested to the manager that we get ruby down she'd been working at the pallida dance in brixton up in london the idea was that i'd carry on with the host to sing she'd just do the dancing keep in the family if you see what i mean go down well did she oh yes she doesn't dance as good as me but she's she was quite nice looking over did the makeup a bit i was always on at her about that doesn't do for a classy place like the majestic but you know what girls are she was only 18. you're right mister when was the last time you saw her last night when she was dancing with [Music] [Applause] [Music] raymond she'd finished her 10 30 quick step exhibition with raymond and then i noticed her dancing with george bartlett one of the young men staying in the hotel no bid one no trouble [Music] that's the last time i saw her then just after midnight raymond came over to talk to me excuse me where the hell is she ruby was supposed to be on by now well i'm sure there's a perfectly in explanation which excuse me for a moment i was vexed i can tell you it's just the sort of thing to get the managements back up ruby ruby we went up to her room but she wasn't there i noticed she changed and usually she kept the same dress on unless they were doing a special number special number a rumbo or charleston or something anyway i had no idea where she got to so i said i'd do it with him [Applause] we dropped the flamenco and pumped for tango it's not so hard on the ankle you see mind you look at it now just think i haven't twisted the ruddy thing she'd be here now funny isn't it how things turn out um we stayed up until about two there was still no sign of her oh i was furious and in the morning so then you went to the police oh no no i didn't mr jefferson reported it sir he's a guest at the hotel why was that this turner because i didn't think anything had happened to her i thought she'd be up to no good with some young men the last thing the majestic wants is the police poking their noses everywhere what tell me mister did ruby know anyone in mary mead she may have done lots of young men come in to dane with from all over basil blake for example blake yes i think i did here i mentioned that name yes i'm sure i did and did she mention gossip what was his first name uh no it's not a person's house gossington hall no i never heard him mention that the thing is you see that's where the body was found well there's a turn up [Music] [Applause] [Music] um as if arthur could have anything to do with it and don't look at me like that he's just not that sort of man no dear of course not no really he isn't he's sometimes a little silly about pretty girls but why not after all i've got the garden [Music] she was there on the hearth truck i can't understand it i really can't neither can we it's just not the sort of place that's what makes it so very interesting there we go it brings to mind little tommy timson miss martin our new school mistress she opened a drawer and a frog jumped out is she right oh yes she's absolutely marvelous oh oh oh darling you're back how are the pigs yeah you find some soothing in a crisis don't you darling hmm pantry old man i'd like to introduce you to the cousin of the deceased mrs fintana come bandrim how do you do pleased to meet you colonel sorry about y'all very sorry you poor girl it must have been frightfully worrying for you when she disappeared to be honest i was more angry than worried i never dreamt anything that actually happened to her then why did you report it to the police oh but i didn't mr jefferson did jefferson yes one of the guests at the hotel he's an invalid gets easily upset conway jefferson that's right but he's an old friend of ours did you hear that arthur yes yes old jeff staying at the majestic was he who reported it to the police isn't that a coincidence we don't see him very often but we do like him don't we either yes we like oh jeff well he stayed before fancy and we never knew how is he nowadays oh he's wonderful rarely quite wonderful considering always cheerful ready with a joke the family with him yes they're all there well the ones who are oh yes yes of course very nice aren't they yes they are they're very nice they are ready [Music] and what do you mean by that they are really don't you think there was something oh i do it was quite unmistakable her manner changed at once when the jeffersons were mentioned and another thing when she said she was angered by the girl's disappearance she really looked it and one has to ask oneself why do you know i think a few days at the seaside might do us both the world of [Music] good it's the saddest story imaginable poor jeff such a lovely family blown to bits by one of those v2 things lost a lot of them and his legs oh my goodness i can't tell you how wonderful he's been such courage he never complains adelaide his daughter-in-law lives with him with her son peter from her first marriage and most of the time his son-in-law mark is there too i suppose when you suffer so much together that the ties that bind are hard to break the whole thing was the most awful tragedy now there's another yes but nothing to do with the jeffersons isn't it after all it was mr jeffers who went to the police [Music] you know jane that is curious can i have your russian books please of course [Music] oh isn't it divine it's very nice yes hot water heaven freesia oh but don't you think it's a little extravagant oh you sound just like arthur always banging on about tightening our belts we deserve a little bit of pampering surely after all life's been so unutterably gloomy oh bliss [Music] nice to see you keeping your hand in sir what do you mean by that taking the case on personally still i suppose with colonel banshee being an old mate you know i suggest harper you keep your suppositions to yourself [Music] juicy's been very good finding time for my son peter after all that's happened it's all too ghastly isn't it and jeff my father-in-law he's taken it very badly he was so fond of ruby if he'd rather we didn't i'm sure he'd love to see you keep him calm won't you his heart's not too good it's a wonder that the shock didn't do as bad as that it's incredible the way he's rallied shall we did you know her well mrs jefferson it's difficult to say she certainly spent a good deal of time with us jeff's always enjoyed the company of young people but ruby was a little different from the usual type and she seemed to fascinate him did you see her last night oh yes she joined us as usual after dinner pull over [Music] jeff i'm just going to i'm going to run right there i slipped away to write some letters before the bridge started then later ruby started her first dance with raymond starr and we began our bridge josie making a fourth we're all there at the table until midnight mark josie jeff and i [Applause] [Music] one no trump [Music] the last i saw of her was when she went off to dance with some young man or other then around midnight raymond came over to us very angry wanting to know where ruby was she was due to do her second dance with him lucy and josie tried to make light of it they went up to ruby's room but as there was still no sign of her josie ended up having to dance rather plucky of her considering her sprained ankle jeff was in a terrible state when there was no sign of her this morning and insisted on calling the police i hope you don't mind my asking mrs jefferson but have you any idea who could have done such a thing none whatsoever ruby never said anything did she about jealousy some man she was afraid of perhaps or intimate with i'm afraid she didn't miss marple mr jefferson's ready for you mom thank you shall we ruby was a little on the cheap side perhaps for a hotel of this class but a nice manner and she danced well many young men sniffing around this isn't a colonel superintendent answer the question sir there was some interest from one or two of the boys but nothing in the strangling line i assure you she got on better with the older gents there was something of the child about her which they seemed to like mr jefferson for instance yes he was the one i had in mind mr jefferson is very fond of young people i think that he found her amusing why was it in me reported her missing because he was the only one who assumed that anything was wrong even ms turner thought he was overreacting but he'd have none of it he was in such a state and insisted the police be told at once ms turner was very annoyed but what could she say the jeffersons you see are amongst our best customers nothing is ever stinted when they're staying with us such a happy family weren't we dolly yes you were you know i still reach out for margaret in the night and other times i think i hear her voice and little rosamund and frank he was a fighter pilot along with his two great friends mark my son-in-law on a chap called mike comedy mike was adelaide's first husband the father of young peter mike was shot down early on and later adelaide married my son frank now the year before the war ended frank and mark were home only it was the autumn the v2s were targeted on london so rudely you were celebrating frank's birthday a rocket hit close by fate plays cruel tricks don't you think adelaide and mark have been have been very good to me but recently i've realized they have their own lives to lead problem is i'm lonely and having young people around well it lifts the spirits and that's why during this past month i became friendly with ruby she was a complete original so charming naive different from everyone i'd known she never complained worked hard as a sweet child i got more and more fond of her and in the end i decided to adopt her what did mark and adelaide have to say about that well there wasn't much they could say i'm sure they didn't like it but they behaved well enough it's not as though they were dependent on me you see when my children married i turned over a great deal of money to them so mark and adelaide were well provided for when tragedy struck so do you mean mr jefferson that as well as adopting her you also intended to make full provision that's right yes had you already done sir well the necessary formalities for legal adoption hadn't been completed no but i had changed my will i see about 10 days ago 50 000 pounds to be held in trust for ruby keen until she was 25. 50 000 but you hardly knew her it's my money and i can do what i like with it so if she hadn't come along well then it would have gone to mark in adelaide and if anything happened to you now nothing is going to happen to me miss marple i may be a [ __ ] but i'm as strong as an ox but if it did then the money would revert to them little ruby god she was found some miles away you know yes we know do you what didn't the police tell you tell me what but jeff my dear that's why we're here the thing is you see ruby keane was found at gossington hall [Music] i say it's an awful to do isn't it sort of thing one reads about in this sunday papers no well did you mr barlow no no no not well at all now hardly at all seems you were the last person to see her alive gosh was he sounds awful doesn't it she was absolutely perfectly right when i saw her what time was that i never really know about time i wasn't very late i didn't think don't sweather did you yes yes as a matter of fact yes i i did quite early on though just after she danced with the latin champion must have been for ten half past [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] one heart [Music] not that i'm much of a dancer how you dance mr bartlett is irrelevant yes that's right of course it is well we we danced round and round and uh i i talked quite a lot and we yawned quite a lot as i say you know i'm not much of a dancer sorry i know not relevant and um girls tend to give it a miss if if you know what i mean and she said she had a headache and i know where to get off so i said righty ho that was that she never mentioned meeting anyone no she just seemed bored to death couldn't stop yawning rise and gave me the own you know eve what happened then mr bartlett i strode around for a bit had a drink then you know slaunted back to the ballroom i noticed that um what's her name juicy was dancing with the latino been on the sickness with an ankle or something so i would fix the time of your return to the ballroom just after midnight which means you were wandering around outside for over an hour mr barlow yes well i was thinking about things a lot to think about eh yes things things you know are you the detectives yes i'm peter comedy grandfather well i call him that but he isn't really said he's ready to see you good thank you mr bartlett that'll be all for now for now mind [Music] i'm going back to school next week and i'll be able to tell everyone that i knew the victim really well what did you think of her rather stupid i'd say a mum and uncle mark couldn't stand her why was that oh i don't know she was always chatting on about this and that they hated grandfather making such a philosopher i expect that jolly glad she's dead did this as much not exactly uncle mark says something like well it's one way out anyway my mom said yes but such a horrible one here we are better be off [Music] good afternoon afternoon gentlemen fifty thousand yes but you don't think that murder has been done for a good deal less but they couldn't have they were both playing bridge now i think that this ruby creature had another chap on the side who found out about poor oil jeff and went completely focused the fact that she was found in your library that was just a ghastly coincidence but it isn't is i it the fact that we know the jeffersons must have had a bearing okay imagine what the village will be saying and i'll have poor arthur hung drawn and caught it already [Music] well of course there'll be talking we all do but you must stay calm he sounded very strange on the phone just now oh jane i can't help wondering pretty much as she left it sir she was a late riser so the mage hadn't been in by the time my lads arrived fingerprints nothing we couldn't account for now the legs were bare when the body was found but shiny wool stockings for dancing sir these make up the rest of the time to save money so she came back here to change and then she went out again question is where [Music] [Applause] [Music] do they really use all this lot [Music] fingernails [Music] fingernails would have a word with that dancer chappie what's his name star sir raymond stone she might let something slip while they were prancing about oh yes just the chaps i was wanting a word probably not important but i thought i ought to let you know the fact is i can't find my car oh you think it's been stolen well that's just it i mean one doesn't know i mean uh somebody could have buzzed off in it for a bit of a laugh when did you last see it well i was trying to remember but i i don't difficult remembering things isn't it i i think i left it in the courtyard you think you did well i i thought i did that i i i but i didn't exactly go out and have a look if you get my treasure watch the mic uh i'm in owen 14. let's just get this quite clear when was the last time you actually saw the car probably before lunch yesterday and as far as you can remember the car was in the courtyard i've got a jolly good idea it probably works i'll get one of my boys to take down the particulars where are you going to be oh around just thought i'd to uh let you know [Music] good god the old pity that was a gossip think i'll leave you to it [Music] colonel what a surprise dolly thought a change of scene might do as good he was just about to take tea [Music] come along this way good afternoon if you'll follow me please she was quite pleasant and rather stupid that's about it no special men friends no i don't think so did you know that mr jefferson was proposing to adopt her well well no fool like an old fool she never mentioned it no she didn't and josie oh i'm sure she'd have known probably planned the whole thing mr jefferson you see would be feeling lonely and unwanted and would want some nice young girl to impress exactly like mr badger mr bathroom the chemist pebbled glasses in a rather unfortunate mouth he made a lot of fuss over the young lady in toiletries and even bought her a diamond bracelet you can imagine how that went down with mrs badger so she found out a thing or two for instance the young girl was carrying on with a very undesirable young man connected with racehorses who would actually porn the bracelet when this was related to mr batcher that was the end of that so you're saying that if ruby had a young man then jefferson might have changed his mind i certainly think she'd take care to keep very quiet about it not only because of mr jefferson josie you mean oh yes weren't you struck this morning by how very angry she seemed yes no doubt she was looking forward to doing very well out of it [Music] raymond he's not very argentinian is it my real name's ramon but i changed it why because there's so much prejudice in this country don't you think could you tell me exactly what happened last night mr star ciao bella sorry superintendent uh last night at 10 30 uh ruby and i did our first exhibition dance and then at midnight just before our second number there was no sign of her so i went and asked joseph where the hell is she three split ruby we should be on by now well i'm sure there's a perfectly innocent explanation would you excuse me for a moment damn little fool who's she with haven't a clue last time i saw her was after our first number dancing with that child who's stutters she went off with him i bet she's with that film bloke film blank yes i don't know his name longhead theatrical type he's dined once or twice at the hotel and danced with ruby but i don't think she really knew him which is why i was surprised when jose mentioned him ruby ruby [Music] it looks like she's put on her old black and white dress she should be in a spanish number i suppose i'll have to do it with you and i get my hands on her i'll just go and change all right so she did wait for a minute and then we danced to tango she managed pretty well i must say despite her ankle and that's about it oh just one more thing mr star what were you doing between your first number with ruby and midnight i can't remember oh i'm sure you can sister if you put your mind to it a little dance and a chat with the ladies you know the sort of thing then i went to change oh and how long did that take i don't know 10 minutes or so will that be all superintendent for now arthur i feel sorry for shut himself away poor man in the hope that no one will notice him he's quite abnormally sensitive like most military men i never quite thought like that yes it's all this whispering business you see a slide here it's not there for both his and dolly's sake we must find out the truth couldn't agree with you mom that's exactly what i intend to do thank you miss marvel for the team a pleasure colonel and i wish you the best of luck one of those cases isn't it when one could so easily find oneself barking up the wrong tree what tree might that be for example one might be asking oneself why the girl was either killed here and taken to colonel bantries or why she was taken there first and then killed yes but that of course would be the wrong question wouldn't it would it oh yes and why is that miss marvel because it never happened [Music] you mean that some fellow strangled her put her into the car and then decided to dump her in the first house he came to i didn't think anything of the kind colonel what i think is that a very careful plan was made and that the plan went wrong but please don't let me keep you what's up and [Music] straight down anyway [Music] tell me what was this ruby keen girl really like common or garden girl digger who couldn't you have done something about it mark thinks i should have seen what was coming let the old boy alone too much tennis lessons with raymond stars jeff's always been so level-headed gentlemen i find are not always as level-headed as one might think isn't she marvellous believe it or not jane has a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity shall we go in god knows what he saw in her little troll he mustn't say such things what's it matter i mean let's face it daddy if anyone had any interest in seeing her do mark you really mustn't 50 grand oh what i couldn't do with that i'd have made the most dreadful fast it's difficult isn't it when you're not actually his flesh and blood you've only had to be in some other kind of girl or peter well yes jeff's always seemed so fond of him it was josie's fault she brought her here i thought you like josie i do it's you that finds her a pill surely you don't think that it was deliberate well i'm not saying she actually planned it but i'm pretty sure she knew which way the wind was blowing and kept very quiet about it was she pretty i thought you'd seen her oh yes we did but um she'd been strangled you see someone couldn't tell no she wasn't pretty nice eyes she had a kind of spurious resemblance to my wife yeah perhaps that's what attracted jeff a terrible hit him very hard the awful thing is is that addy and i can't help but feel rather relieved excuse me man sir mr jefferson would like to see you right here see you later ladies [Music] well what do you think that she's a very devoted mother good evening and mark oh mr gaskell's the most attractive man so many of those pilots were but a little unwise perhaps to talk as much as he does there's another very attractive man [Music] adelaide tells me he's done wonders for her lob peter oh hello mrs pantry shouldn't you be in bed we'll sort of josie said she might be able to get me a treat from the kitchen a tree too you are a lucky boy i am rather how did you miss time enjoying the last of summer are you well actually we're here to do a bit of sleuthing oh i see i expect everyone will be at it once it's in the papers the hotel manager asked me not to talk about it questions are bound to be asked and i wouldn't what to say i really don't see why it should all be blamed on me anyway is anyone blaming you miss turner well mrs jefferson and mr gaskell perhaps it wasn't my fault was it i mean these things happen but when it had happened we're all entitled to a bit of luck once in a while it gets you down you know the cheap digs dancing with strangers spiteful lot i reckon be nice to get out go somewhere new it's time we made something for ourselves we miss turner if i'm lucky enough to find someone there's always uncle mark he's a jolly nice chap could be silly peter it was a frightfully good idea fancy an ice cream rather sir over here just found this sir the girl god god [Music] mr prescott what the earth is going on another incident apparently a burnt out car in a quarry my my car might be they aren't sure whose it is yet was someone in it i'm afraid there was somebody in the car missed about them into my office expect that to be the girl guide now why would you think that it was on the wireless last night her home's not far from here she was last seen at the rally on danbury dance which is very close indeed in fact she'd have to pass through demons to get home that's rather fit doesn't it she might have seen or perhaps heard something she wasn't meant to and if a so murder if you've committed one why not another or even a third [Music] this is [Music] [Applause] goodbye till tomorrow night peter what are you doing i thought i'd lost you oh no my darling no i needed some air i've got one of my heads [Music] thank god she was already dead probably knocked on the head poor kid or strangled do you think there's a connection oh definitely sir i mean she said she was coming into town after the rally to get a wall worse took a shortcut which brought her past the hotel well perhaps meeting someone no one knows about how did we explain it was george barlett's car he was the last person to see her after all you know when he says she went to her room maybe she was changing to go out within and when they made the arrangement that's what pamela reeves overheard and his motive for killing ruby i haven't got that far yet either he's very smart and pretending to be stupid or else no he's stupid isn't it a london contest oh negative no special friend nothing but more the point is what we've dug up about jefferson's family adelaide jefferson and mark gaskell are both stony broke adelaide's husband knows everything his father gave him on bad investment couldn't you have asked jefferson for help she never told him for the sake of her husband apparently and then there's gaskell there's a gambler plain and simple got through his wife's money in record time and now he's up to his eyes in debt 25 000 quick that's enough motive for innovative yeah problem is their alibis are rock-solid they're playing bridge from 20 to 11 till after midnight then everyone can testify to that that's assumed that ruby king was killed before midnight i've told you already she was killed between 10 and half past 11. yes i know but couldn't one stretch it a bit don't try tampering with the medical evidence milkshake i say hey i wouldn't quite put it like that and by the way she was drugged before she was strangled the strangulation killed her but she was drugged first touchy butter well that's that well there is someone else sir but strictly speaking he's your pigeon lives near costington basil lake that's the one he died at the hotel darted ruby a couple of times [Music] and according to raymond star josie mentioned that film bloke problem as he was at a party till after midnight by which time ruby was already dead that leaves us with um mr x unknown murderer mark gaskell and adelaide jefferson who both have a motive but also an alibi basil blake who has an alibi but no motive and george barton who has no alibi but unfortunately no motive either what about your mate colonel bantry he hasn't got an alibi no but neither does he have a motif and that's the lot except for raymond still there's something about that blog i don't know what you mean too much swing from the hips yeah he's pretty vague about what he was up to just before midnight but i reckon it'd be hard to make a case against him i'm not to make a case against anyone [Music] so jane and i were planning a stroll after lunch but oh well i do like her isn't she sweet and such refreshingly low opinion of human nature sherry yes lovely two dry shares please [Music] uh [Music] oh good afternoon mr gaskell miss marvel i wouldn't have thought you'd be starting so early what can i get you a lemonade orange squash that's very kind to you thank you a ginger wine perhaps i'm quite chilly hasn't it uh ginger wine pudding but just a splash of scotch would you prefer this looks rather fun it's those police chappies where they look at me number one suspect i reckon still suppose it's my own fault flat broke you know risk everything that's my motto as you did so bravely during the war i wasn't the only one no [Music] poor old mike he was um he was at his first husband he he was shot down without ever seeing his son imagine that never seeing your own kid and frank safe at home or so he thinks and then out of the blue and rosamund she was a smashing girl i loved her to death did you oh yes more than i ever showed poor thing i won't let that happen again the woman i love she'll know right it's so important isn't it to tell those dear to us how we feel the opportunity can too easily be gone forever there's someone i'd like to tell she never gives me the chance josephine turner perhaps how did you know that just a shot in the dark she's a handsome woman very bright an expert in romance as well i didn't think you were the type don't judge a book by its cover mr gaskell i assure you i never do look at me one of the heroes one of the nation's saviors can't even forget a date with a dance hostess jokes i don't think it's a joke you know he's he's never said as much better i reckon jeff has always resented me for being the fellow who pulled through he's been very good to you he's been generous to a fault because in his eyes i'll always be rosamond's husband as addie will always be frank's wife suddenly this summer something happened to me i didn't want to think of frank anymore i know exactly what you mean i sometimes feel exactly the same about arthur and he's still alive now don't get me wrong i mean it's the sweetest little stick but men do rather think the world revolves around them and can get so exhausting pretending they're right the two men in my life i've hardly have the chance to know the poor thing life can be bitterly cruel you deserve a fresh start you do really i thought so too so when ruby came along i was rather glad it left me free to do what i wanted i never dreamed of course that jeff would become so infatuated and when you found out i was furious it was peace you see his whole future depends on jeff i thought he looked on him as a grandson and to think he was going to be disinherited for ruby keane i'll bet you anything she went to meet a man that night and uh jeff wouldn't like that not one bit when he loses it few days ago for example [Laughter] she's looking for something in her bag this no idea jeffy now then couldn't you know i don't like fibbing fool is it i sort of recognize him he's been here once or twice didn't i see you dancing with him the other evening i might have done i can't remember he must have put it in my bag when i wasn't looking these boys are too silly for words [Music] honestly jeffy that's the truth don't look at me like that whose photo was it i'm nicole he's jeff has to control people he he can't help himself but i can't live in the past forever what about adelaide oh she's her own woman make no mistake you've got your own someone haven't you no of course i haven't yes you have and i know exactly who it is raymond starr isn't he lovely and such reassuring thighs [Music] it's not raymond promise not to breathe the word only i haven't even told him yet [Music] mark he's the kindest man and he was such a good friend to mike and frank he's always watched out for me and just lately i've begun to realize how very special he is who knows maybe third time lucky oh addy i do hope so and may i say what very good taste he has the most disarming twinkle you have to tell him after all he may be feeling exactly the same yes i will but not quite yet so i beg you please not a word lucky for us since someone strangled the poor kid not too lucky for her perhaps because now if oh jeff dies according to schedule addy and i can divide the dibs and all will be well [Music] it wasn't me no still i didn't expect them to believe that surprised they haven't arrested me already you have an alibi mr gaskell alibis no innocent person ever has an alibi pretty scared [Music] yes did you happen to find any in ruby king's room what does it happen we did see you uh that's sad why do you want to know about nail clippings it was one of the things that well that seemed wrong when i looked at the body the hands there was something about them and i couldn't think what then i realized that a girl who wore so much makeup would normally have very long nails so i presume the ruby had bitten hers but if you found nail clippings then maybe ruby broke one cut the rest to match [Music] you said one of the things was there something else dress that was quite wrong but you see it was no dress and if ruby had changed in order to meet a boyfriend which i believe is a current theory why would she change into an old dress where her best dress girls of ruby's class always wear their best clothes however unsuitable the occasion so why didn't she stay as she was in her best pink frock do you have an explanation no not yet i can't help feeling that it's [Music] important [Music] she does move well that girl even with her ankle she moves well enough she do hard nose to my test [Applause] absolutely marvellous it was like it was like dancing with a stare oh look he's blushing isn't that sweet oh he was telling me all about argentina and the family ranch and the cattle and other hustling or do i mean rustling anyway apparently he's marvelous on a horse oh look he's blushing again yes vodka if you please i'm just going to um raymond you should get janet 12. i'm sure his dance card's far too full isn't it mr star thank you you appear to apply yourself to your work most assiduously i was taught to believe that whatever the task one should do to the best of one's ability an admirable maxi mr star tell me were you brought up in argentina until i was 13 and then i was sent here to school which one meadow house meadow house i didn't think they turned out dancers my family ran into a few problems i had to take what i could get such difficult times we live in so you seem to have landed on your feet good evening good evening i thought you looked a bit full on fancy foxtrot foxtrot [Music] shouldn't you be resting the old ankle no it's loosening up wonderfully see you all later [Music] [Applause] one never knows what's round the corner does one mr stark poor ruby for instance you must be very upset not particularly didn't you like her i hardly knew her just one of those sort of little crimes no clues no motive there are two people who certainly had a motive aren't their superintendent mrs jefferson and mr gaskell her death could benefit them to the tune of fifty thousand pounds but they wouldn't have had anything to do with it that's ridiculous no no the idea of either of them strengthening a girl and kind of blood money mr stark can make people do the most surprising things as i'm sure you know hello everyone sorry i'm late good evening mrs jefferson evening if you'll excuse us [Applause] thick as thieves only as far as mrs jefferson will allow [Music] i'm sure he was up to something that long i'm sure he's up to something every night but not murder not him well then [Music] actually miss marple uh i was wondering if tomorrow you might if you do me a little favor [Music] it was just last week we all met at the guide rally on danby downs pamela behaving quite normal was she she seemed the same as usual and what happened afterwards she said she'd be going to woolworth superintendent and then she'd be going home that's all i can remember i'm afraid uh yeah thank you beatrice uh that that'll be all for now thank you superintendent [Music] i would like to speak to florence you understand florence that it is of the utmost importance that we know everything that poor pamela did on the day of her death to keep back any information is a very serious offense practically perjury and for that you can be sent to prison have you been to the cinema lately florence yes miss what have you seen a a place in the sun yes miss not entirely suitable fair for a girl of your years is it florence no mess but some fine performances nonetheless especially young mr cleft such a sensitive soul pamela wasn't really going too with swashy florence something to do with films wasn't it oh yes miss i thought so details please i've been ever so worried miss i promised pam i'd never say a word and then when she was found in that car oh it was horrible i thought i should die i felt it was all my fault i ought to have stopped her from doing what florence it was on the way to the rally can you keep a secret yes promise not to tell anyone promise what is it i've got a screen test what do you mean like film yes you know when we went to see a place in the sun yes well after we split up i met this producer in the street who'd just come back from hollywood and said i was just what they were looking for you're kidding i'm not and they want to put me on camera and have acting lessons and sign a contract but i mustn't be too disappointed if i don't get the part there won't be all beer and skittles but overnight sensations can happen i mean just look at vivian lee and i absolutely mustn't read the word till i've done the test hollywood well lenville studios actually lemville studios yes miss so anyway after the rally pam was going into danemost to meet at the hotel and after the test she'd catch her bus home and say she'd been shopping she got through the rally without turning her hair then when she said she was off to woolworths she just winked at me i should have realized a thing like that couldn't be true i feel terrible just terrible there there dear no one will blame you [Music] oh no superintendent just years of experience now i really must get back to marry me would you be kind enough to give me a lift to the hotel [Music] good day there have a minute thank you so much oh quite warm for this time of year isn't it yes i just called to see if i could enlist your help for our sale of work save work at the vicarage on wednesday i i'm afraid anything will do half a crown oh right i dare say i can manage that no hearthrack i see that's rather dangerous you know sparks fly out and singe the carpet there was one but i'm not sure it's got to the fluffy woolly kind i expect yes that's right thank you so much what name shall i put down you know perfectly well miss dinah lee may i offer you some advice i'd rather you didn't nevertheless i shall i would advise you very strongly not to continue using your maiden name on earth do you mean in a very short time you and your husband may need all the good will you can find there is a prejudice in such places as this against people living together it is amused you both no doubt to pretend that that is what you are doing but the time for games is over mrs blake how did you know no my dear no but how things get round in a village the kind of quarrels you have quite unlike an illicit relationship it has been said that you can only really get under someone's skin if you're married so true don't you think married or not we do love each other i'd do anything for him and he would for me i'm sure you would so why do we need goodwill all of a sudden because any minute now your husband may be arrested for murder you are joking aren't you haven't you read the papers the majestic i've got the gin [Music] she says you're going to be arrested for the murder of the majestic it's not true is it is it oh my god what did you do with the hearth rag mr blake dustbin that was very stupid of you people simply don't put good hearthrugs in dustbins it had spangles on it from her dress i suppose what are you talking about tell me well i mean i ask her she seems to know all about it i can tell you what i think happened do correct me mr blake if i go wrong after having a row with your wife at a party and after having had perhaps a little too much to drink you drove down here i'm not sure at what time it was about two o'clock in the morning [Music] [Applause] [Music] you saw a body on the hearth rug a girl in a white evening dress strangled i don't know if you recognized her i i couldn't look again after the first glance i mean her face was terribly blue and so swollen you panicked didn't you mr blake yes i thought dinah might turn up at any minute she'd find me there with it and what the hell would you think and then the police and god knows what [Applause] [Music] then i had this idea um seemed quite good at the time i thought i'll put the girl in old batteries library [Music] i mean he's always despised me always look down his nose at me artistic it's like the whole damn village [Applause] [Music] and i thought serve him right i tried be quite a good laugh hello pantry with the dead blonde it was a bit drunk see little tommy timson had much the same idea rather a sensitive boy like yourself he thought his teacher was always picking on him so he put a frog in her drawer a body of course is a somewhat more serious matter i mean i woke up in the morning and it hit me i i couldn't believe it i i couldn't believe i've been so stupid you should have gone to the police mr blake [Music] you really think they'd have swallowed it bit of a prank no harm done i mean you saw what that chief constable chat was like with me pompous ass [Music] mum tell her about us don't worry sweetheart i didn't do it to be fine [Music] that he didn't do it he put her in the library that he didn't kill her he was rather under the influence of alcohol you see and thought he tried to implicate arthur as a sort of joke i'm not bloody laughing i mean look at him it's absolutely destroying him isn't there anything we can do so you're not satisfied with the case against basil blake no colonel i'm afraid i'm not so we better let him go then i am fully aware that this is not what one might call orthodox any other cases you're not satisfied with parents don't be so silly remember your heart you mean you know who did it of course i do that's why i'm here you must hear her out if only for poor arthur's sake he's in absolute shreds about the whole horrid business thank you colonel the truth is you see that most people believe what's told them whereas i never do of course it's all very confusing that the body was found in colonel bantry's library but that's because it wasn't meant to be there i am quite convinced that the plan had been to plant the body on basil blake a much more likely person and the fact that he put it in the library delayed things considerably poor arthur yes indeed was the source of great annoyance to the real murderer basically cuz he would have been the first person to be suspected he would have found out that he knew ruby keen but was involved with another girl and would consequently have assumed that ruby came to blackmail him or some such thing and that he'd strangled her in a fit of rage but that of course all went wrong and interest became focused much too soon on the jeffersons it's the money angle that i find of particular interest and two people stand to benefit not likely murderers at all but i can never tell come on i might like a sink you know there's mrs jefferson passionately devoted to her son but restless and tired of the life she's been leading and then there's mark glasgow so brave and fearless during the war but now it seems a disillusioned so it was most annoying i must confess to find that both these people had alibis but the discovery of pamela reeves body suddenly rendered them worthless i knew there had to be a connection all for love and not a little money so stupid of me not to realize but it's those fingernails you see just can't get away from them fingernails the nail clippings you discovered in ruby's waste basket don't convince me at all i'm afraid i'm quite certain that the nails of the dead girl weren't cut but bitten and that can only mean one thing that the body in the library wasn't ruby keen at all isn't she marvelous which leads us straight to the one person i know to be involved [Music] josephine turner she must have known it wasn't ruby and was completely perplexed as to why the body was where it was because she knew where it ought to be i can't understand it i really can't neither can we in bazel blake's house it was josie who drew attention to him blake yes i think i did hear her mention that name yes i'm sure i did and josie i'm sure who slipped the snapshot of dazzle blake into ruby's handbag who is this no idea jeffy a cool operator without a doubt but still unable to conceal her anger against ruby after her death that's what i mean about believing too readily why doubt her assertion that the body was because it doesn't seem she could have any motive for lying that's always been the difficulty ruby's death appears if anything contrary to her interests it was not until dina lee said she'd do anything for love that i made the connection if josie has a lover then the whole thing becomes clear [Music] gaskell my god that i should live to see the damn no no no not gaskell adelaide i always suspected it had a woman's touch hell but terence do try to keep calm one doesn't come across such things maybe not a lot in much venom but there is a world beyond you know a clever plan complicated yet simple first of all the selection of the poor child pamela whose death would provide them with their alibi me she fitted the bill perfectly she was not dissimilar to ruby keane what's more something of a film fan so when mrs jefferson approached her regarding a screen test she found it irresistible but the girl said she was approached by a film producer inconceivable though it might seem colonel one or two women are managing to make their mark on the industry quite a film buff you know so a date was arranged and pamela duly appeared at the hotel where mrs jefferson introduced her to her makeup expert take off a little less than you can put on this dressing room for a child makes me quite sick to think of it give us a twirl and after having turned pamela into an approximation of ruby josie turner drugged her there oh just wait until we get you over there i imagine they then hid her in one of the empty rooms after dinner mrs jefferson said she went to write letters but that is when she drove the comatose pamela to basil blake's house and placed her on the hearth rug [Music] at that point the poor girl was not yet dead [Music] mrs jefferson saw to that [Music] that must have been just after 10 o'clock she then drove back to the hotel at top speed where ruby keane was still very much alive and dancing with raymond stark they had provided themselves with the perfect alibi i'm sorry i had to write some letters after her dance with george bartlett ruby then went up to her room to change following jose's instructions no doubt she was used to doing what josie told her [Music] and waited in jose's room she too had been drugged probably in her after-dinner coffee george bartlett if you recall mentioned her yawning when he danced with her jersey then went up to her room with mr star on the pretense of looking for her i bet she's with that film bloke looks like she's put on her old black and white dress she should be in her spanish number oh i suppose i'll have to deal with you i won't be a minute apart from ruby nobody but josie went into jose's room and that's probably when she finished the girl off [Music] she then went down to dance with mr star [Music] in the early hours of the morning she dressed ruby in pamela's clothes she was very thorough even down to the fingernails and drove the body in mr bartlett's car to the quarry where she set it a night you must admit she's frightfully good are you absolutely sure about mrs jefferson i don't see how one can't be such a madam she even had the call to try to tell me some guff about her and mark gaskell of course i wasn't taken in for a second what about our audi friend oh i think you'll find he was far too busy providing his little extras good god that place really has gone down the chute you see once one accepts that the body in the library wasn't ruby keynes mrs jefferson has no alibi she slipped away to write letters she claims whereas mr gaskell stayed put the whole time but it's so important isn't it to be quite sure which is where my little plan comes in we will have to make it necessary for them to try to kill mr jefferson if mr jefferson would consent and because they'll still want ruby's death to be blamed on basil blake the most obvious solution it seems to me would be to make it look like heart failure but hopefully gentlemen with your help it won't get that far they took it very well what'd you say that i wanted the 50 000 i'd left to ruby to go to a hostel for young dancing girls in london and that i propose visiting a solicitor tomorrow i'm surprised they swallowed it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] huh adelaide was very very kind to me you know help me through the darkest times and frank he loved her so much josie i can just about understand i mean after all she had nothing to lose but adelaide what could you be thinking of dead jeff breaks one's heart and peter poor boy i'm sure it was part of their plan a new life for the three of them thousands of miles from here to think that i could have suspected arthur even for a moment all the time he was just fretting about these new taxes ah those creatures have put us through how on earth could they imagine they'd ever get away with it because when you're in love you think you're invincible it blinds you and you don't seem to care [Music] ready [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you
