Rivers just a minute Mr viers please come quick something terrible has happened it's Mr durando listen everybody I know how terribly shocked we all are there's no point in you staying up any longer please go back to sleep please go to sleep that's her remedy for everything as if we were children if you listen to me we do not go to sleep not yet it is clear to me there is a killer loose and none of us is safe until the murderer is caught I'm really frightened after what I just saw I'm so scared I can hear me bones rattle you and I admit it for the first time in my life my nerves bother me I am stronger than two horses you all know that when I bend an iron bar with my teeth it is for real iron but even I cannot fight what I cannot see exactly that is why we must find out who is Behind These killings these killings you don't think Gaspar was an accident do you only a fool would swallow that who are you the chief of police or how do you know what's what that's right I say we do what Miss Rivers told us go to bed leave police work to the police and entertaining to us you you wouldn't stick your neck out to save your mother oh why don't you shut up look at her she can't wait to get back to the Caravan and her bottle of bulls who do you think you why don't you two go and fight in your own Caravan well I'm not afraid to come right out and say it we all know that Miss Rivers has lost no sleep over these murders with my own ears I heard her say that murder is good for business doesn't that tell you who's behind them I ask you when did we ever play to such capacity crowds has never done such good business I tell you she's behind the whole thing Matilda you're crazy you're a hotthead a lunatic that's what I say we all know it can't be miss vivers you speak for yourself we all know you're a slave give the others a chance to talk you you advertise yourself as a clairvoyant you tell fortunes who do you say is responsible about murder leave me out I know nothing all you're interested in is having your palm crossed why don't you speak up yes this is most urgent so tell us what did the stars and your tea leaves and your crystal ball tell you they tell me to mind my own business you're not only a fake but a coward you see we have to take things into our own hands and stop these killings before we're all murdered one by one and I say once again it's the boss you hear the Lions they smell blood they're very sensitive last night they were restless before you get carried away let me ask some questions you Emil what about me I refresh your memory last year in West Berlin you told me that tando promised you a raise so what but he never gave it to you so you held a grudge against him I wouldn't kill over money no I wouldn't you always walk alone at night that's right I myself have seen you but it could be you what are you doing walking alone in the middle of the night me I walk for fresh air fresh air who believes that you told me you hated durando and you once told me you hated Gaspar because he made fun of your whiskers maybe you did it you fool how could I ever get away with murder I'm the easiest one in the whole circus to identify you see my beard before you see me but you I heard you tell Gasper to keep away from your wife that's true I warned him to stay away look I may be all bornes but I can still use a gun anyway she still left me she couldn't take the bruises you can't P me you hold it hold it everyone we'll never get anywhere fighting among ourselves take my word for it it's the boss you're right you'll never get anywhere period you [ __ ] you miserable ingrate when I picked you and your lover llo up you were starving I Advanced your money for your act gave you billing and how do you repay me by stirring up Trouble behind my back you can't frighten us I still say cut your tongue out first I can still get a dozen acts like yours and you if it weren't for me you'd all starve to death we're frightened we're nervous I know what you are look let me do the worrying now get back to your Caravans we're sold out in tomorrow's Ma and I want a great show Lazlo I'll give you the benefit of the doubt let's say that you just got carried away but that loud mouth Matilda you'd better control her shut her up or I'll cancel your act and cost you both out of [Music] here ah you sent for me commissioner Brooks I hate to Mar the picture but you'll have to remove that bhon a you know how allergic I am to pollen I'm very sorry tell me superintendent when you were a little boy did you ever want to run away and join a circus no sir not at all no I had a very happy life with love on both sides plus a liberal Alliance and two doting ants well spare me the details because you just joined a circus I have may I ask in what capacity well certainly not as a performer I want you to go to Liverpool the river circus exactly and I'm glad to see you read something besides the society page I guess I'm like most people sir reading about murder gives me a thrill yes well your job is to stop it it's a little bit late for that isn't it at least for Mr duranda with a spike through his head I saw some pretty gruesome pictures downstairs sir I understood that uh you were bringing your suspects here what suspects M didn't leave a single clue anyway Brooks you hunt a wild animal in his native habitat you don't bring a tiger up from the jungles of Asia to shoot it in Hy Park I quite agree sir did the local police come up with anything nothing from the report the killer must have warn in tied gloves and the ground around had been trampled on by too many people to get any Footprints this circus is rather accident prone isn't it I recall there was another gruesome death that's item two on the agenda 3 weeks ago in leads their star performer a highwa virtuoso called Gaspar The Great was hung to death by his own wire when it broke beneath his feet was that an accident well the death of the second man makes it look like murder doesn't it I'll be ready to leave in an hour sir before you go super intendant just a piece of fatherly advice always ready to receive that sir that suit you have on it looks new and expensive several R of course handmade shoes dressing smartly is a fetish of yours well sir I don't drink or gamble I know your only passion apart from your work is your wardrobe yes sir your advice just this leave your expensive feathers in their mothproof containers you'll find this cir as a rather untidy Place Brooks concentrate on the job I know you're the man for it that's why I'm letting handle it alone there's one more City on their itinerary before they arrive here in London stay with them very nice you got Knuckles on your hands use them next time you enter my Caravan sorry but as you can see my hands are full why don't you make yourself at home thanks I thought you might like a little company so I brought round the bottle I don't drink in that case you can watch me you make a habit at this drinking coming to men's Caravans at 12:00 at night only if I like them I'm flattered but you could have waited for an invitation well I realize you're the elusive type Frank women have to chase you so here I am now that you've got me isn't just a little dangerous doesn't it worry you that llo might find out at this moment llo is snoring away in bed it's all he ever does do in bed as much as I would like to honey I'm afraid I have to show you the door I bid you good night what's the matter Frank don't you like me I find you very very attractive says that you're pedaling your merchandise at the wrong Booth you wouldn't say that to Monica Rivers what the hell does she have to do with you no need to be so rough Frank I was just trying to be friendly well I hope your timing and your act is better than it is here my timing is very good you knocked me out Matilda you really do I get it you're not worried about la low finding out are you what do you mean it's Monica you're afraid of you got to be kidding why should Monica worry me I know all about you and her who cares I do for your sake well that's nice of you she's dangerous Frank very dangerous you may think you'll last forever but you're wrong just remember durando what are you getting at he thought he was the only one in her life too and when she had no more use for him she got rid of him you better watch your mouth until it could get you into trouble I don't care I'm not afraid of Monica and she knows it I say she killed the Rando and one day I'm going to prove it you're crazy am I just you remember what I said and the next time she puts her arms around you make sure those Loving Hands aren't carrying a knife you loud mouth broad get out of here build a darling you must be more careful of leaving like that you'll damage your brain you teaching a you [Music] you oh you and you you'll get yours Troublemaker all you do is make trouble wait till I get you to the calan and now we play the new record from the Kenny Glenn group quite a party did you enjoy it what are you talking about Monica don't get any wrong ideas wrong ideas just because you've been entertaining a woman in your Caravan in the middle of the night dress like that use your head you don't think I invited her in here do you yes well you're wrong Matilda came in here unasked and uninvited and I threw her out after to hour right away that's what the Ruckus was all about why why what well you're certainly no saint and uh she's attractive in a common sort of way why did you throw on she started shooting her mouth off about me she's crazy she thinks you murdered dando and you what do you think you can trust me Monica don't let [Music] [Applause] it's supposed to be lucky I hope you're right all the same I shall watch what I walk in future this your first time at a circus backstage so to speak yes it is thought so you don't look like a circus man and a circus man would never have Tren elephants yes quite quite I'll try not to do it again are you looking for something yes I am as a matter of fact perhaps you can help me I want miss Monica Rivers what for for I beg your pardon you're not another reporter are you no no I'm not a reporter we've been told to chase him off the lot if we see any I'll take you to miss Rivers thank you surpris eh can't tell the difference when I'm behind the door do it all the time come on what your your name well I have to introduce you don't I can't just shove you through the door no of course you can't I'm detective superintendent Brooks you're a detective uh-huh but we've had detectives here I thought they'd finished I'm from Scotland Yard come in Miss Rivers there's a man to see you detective superintendent Brooks well show him in Bruno he's from Scotland Yard good morning Miss Rivers good morning Bruno yes who's that you'd like to know wouldn't you that's why I asked you well I'm not going to tell you it's confidential don't give me that you don't know who he is you're just a messenger boy me a messenger boy I don't know don't die what I do see he's a detective from Scotland JS see detective superintendent sorry Bruno you did know didn't you but is all this questioning necessary I've told the local police everything I know and they've called in Scotland Yard Miss Rivers you'll agree there are still some areas that can stand clearing up like who the murderer is for instance yes yes of course well anything I can tell you how long was Albert Dura an associate of yours 7 years in what capacity business manager just business manager what do you mean well it sometimes happens that when two people work together for seven years something more than a business friendship develops well naturally as you say we did become good friends intimate friends if what you're trying to find out is whether or not I slept with dando the answer is no I'm sorry I had to press the point M Rivers you'll understand that we cannot rule out a sex motive for the murder did Mr durando have any financial interest in the circus none whatsoever I own the circus lock do and barel it's belonged to my family for 50 years has it always been successful no no no no there's nothing certain in show bus is we've eaten carvar and we've eaten sawdust but I understand that since the death of Gaspar business has been brisk that's right so it would be correct to say Miss rivers that the circus and therefore yourself have gained financially from gaspar's Death what are you insinuating I'm not insinuating anything I'm simply trying to establish a few facts is it true or not can you think of anybody why didn't you come inside I'm sure you'll find it warmer and much more [Music] comfortable superintendent Brooks may I introduce Frank Hawkins ah yes of course you took over the great gas bar spot didn't you Mr Hawkins how opportune as what I was about to ask Miss Rivers was could you think of anyone who benefited from either of the two deaths don't pull any punches do you superintendent well for your information I wasn't even with the circus when gasbar was killed where were you then on a train on a train traveling up to Le to see Miss rivers to ask about a job that's on strange and did you came to see about a job in a circus that already had a Highwire act could anybody prove you were on that train and there's no proof that you didn't travel out the day before why should I lie whoever interfered with gas P operatus Mr Hawkins knew all about the rig knew just what to do and how to do it and he could climb up to the heights of the tent to carry out his work well it wasn't me anyone could have climbed up there that's right every man woman and child in this circus has been trained to climb ropes and ladders and the Big Top has raised everybody helps I see if you finished with your questions and decided not to arrest me yet I'll go I have a matina to get ready for there is one more question Mr Hawkins on the night that duranda was killed where were you in my Caravan sleep I suppose there are no witnesses to that either I was alone where were you Mr r i i i was here I knew nothing about it until Bruno pounded on the door and woke me up all right Mr Hawkins that's all for now don't plan any long trips away from the circus for the time being will you want me anymore I too have a mat that's all thank you Miss Rivers for the moment will you be here long until I find the murderer but that brings me to my final request have you anywhere I could stay cure on the circus Grant oh no there's very little available space there is one place dando's Caravan do you have the keys thank you Mr [Music] [Applause] R [Music] [Music] [Music] pap [Applause] and Now ladies and gentlemen presenting Phyllis Allen and her intelligent [Music] poodles [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] get [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] up [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you're late sorry can I see you later too busy I have to see you look I have a million things to do payroll has to be made up bills to be paid sorry no time then you've got to make time I've got to see you smile you're on Bruno will you come in now please what did you tell him my lips are sealed my lips are sealed you stupid bager bones well I'll tell you one thing mine aren't tell me Bruno after you heard the screams in the commotion what did you do I ran as fast as I could and woke up Miss Rivers she was asleeping oh yes I mean I think so cuz I knocked five or six times where were you when you heard the screams on the way back to Maan from the canteen I always have a late snack did you see or hear anything of a suspicious nature before you heard the screams no sir Bruno you must circulate a good deal around here can you think of any reason why anyone would want to murder dando no no he was really a very nice manager I could always get a little advance from him when I was short I mean when I was short of money yes of course now you called durando the manager wasn't he also one of the owners no don't think so well thank you very much Bruno that's all for up I don't forget if you see or hear anything that might help solve this crime you let me know huh oh yes super super intendent will you come in now please Madam and what did you tell him or are your lips sealed too when you deal with the law you should be careful and dignified both of which you will B beyond your capabilities I told you I was busy I don't have time for EES droppers I'll say one thing for you Monica you sure put on a clever performance for that detective I put on a performance what about you you told him you were on a train the night of gaspar's death that's right I was well then why did you tell me the first time we met that you saw gasbar killed I was only kidding don't you remember you told me not to make any Grizzly jokes but what about you didn't you tell me that D was your partner get over heard you tell the superintendent you own the circus Lock Stock in Barrel what the hell has that got to do with you with you a man never knows where he stands first you give and then you hold back I know you like to let men dangle well that might have worked with dando but it doesn't with me you got durando on the brain he was my manager and nothing more oh I know him you know nothing Monica you're playing a dangerous game every Li is a trap when dur was killed I heard you say you were asleep well I was in bed who should know that better than you well after you eased me out that must have been your Shadow I saw run into dando's Caravan you're crazy don't deny it I Saw You Frank what do you really want I want to share in your circus let's say whatever dando own I want well At Last it's out in the open I want us to be partners Monica real Partners so you want to share in my circus huh that's right all right Frank you've got it come in Angela hello yes spos regrettably Miss Rivers I've had to bring back your daughter and deliver her right to your door oh please don't be angry at I can explain excuse me darling Mr Hawkins as you can see an unexpected visit from my daughter in the head of her school of course we can settle our business anytime and now miss buros what exactly happened please mother listen to me be quiet you've always had an act for causing trouble yes Miss Rivers you've just summed it up trouble Angela resists all discipline and supervision and this is something we simply cannot tolerate as you know the fenmore school for young ladies stands for character building education and good breeding our reputation goes back 75 years I'm well aware of your school and its reputation Miss burrow that's why I enrolled Angela now what exactly did she do broke all the rules refused to study no obedience whatsoever I myself have caught her smoking cigarettes imitating her teachers in a most unflattering besides smoking cigarettes and a few harmless pranks what else did she do she upset the morale of other students quite quite distressing what do you mean on one occasion she stuffed pillows into her bed rumpled up the blanket so that it looked as if she would asleep and where was she later she was found in a closet giggling away it was only a joke you had the whole school in an uproar looking for you if you had these problems with Angela why didn't you contact me sooner Miss River you're rather difficult to pin down your circus is constantly on the Move what is the position now your daughter has been expelled by the disciplinary Board of the school I'm Sorry Miss reers we tried but we failed Angela is now your responsibility I hope you have better luck good afternoon good day Angela Angela what am I to do with you just let me stay here I simply couldn't stand being away from you in the circus I wanted you to have a fine education meet people outside the world of the circus make other friendships it didn't work I just don't belong with that group coming from the circus I'm different from other girls they made me feel like an outcast nobody really wanted to be my friend you're just as good as they are I was different and in the holidays when the other girls parents came to visit them where were you sorry Angela I did try to get away but I I know you were too busy I was lonely and miserable I just wanted to die I had no one I know please don't make me go away again let me stay here with you with a circus it's where I belong after all it's in my blood like it's in yours oh darling you certainly

time of night go to [Music] sleep [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ladies and gentlemen I now give you ingamar the [Applause] [Music] Fearless [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] come [Music] up on up up up up give it up up up up up [Music] Matilda I left instructions for you to report to me in my my Caravan before you went on I was resting not all of you your poisonous tongue as usual was very busy and I know that you've been talking out of turn to the superintendent he asked me if I knew anything or saw anything so I came right out and told him I suspect you my mother has enough on her hands running the circus Without You causing trouble for her Angela you're a very sweet child but really this is none of your business Miss Rivers my job makes it necessary for me to interrogate everyone who might be involved of course I question Matilda as I did you and many others I'm not complaining about that but I just won't have anybody in my circus filling you with a pack of [Music] Lies you ready Matilda [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] darling ladies and gentlemen you are about to witness one of the most most dangerous and mystifying acts ever performed anywhere before your very eyes llo the nonpar will saw a woman in [Applause] house ladies and gentlemen now that you have had the pleasure of meeting me let me present my beautiful and brave partner Matilda maybe she is to dumb to be frightened or maybe she trusts me completely anyway every time she steps into this box she Whispers in my ear llo my life is in your hands and believe me it is and now I need the assistance of Two Gentlemen from the audience may I have some volunteers thank you gentlemen uh you sir and you sir thank you thank you thank you now may I ask you to tell the audience truthfully have I ever seen either of you before in other words you are complete strangers to me that's correct would you be kind enough to open up the doors on top and in front Matilda darling would you be Reckless enough to step inside you will observe ladies and gentlemen that she occupies the full length inside now in full view of the audience would you close the doors of the box thank you thank you bring down the saw would you examine the teeth of the [Music] s [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so you see sir after the two men from the audience had opened the box Matilda climbed inside the box was shut the rotating saw was brought on and applied to the center of the Box this now this Point Matilda should have pressed this spring down here oh what did that do it operates this trap in the platform which allowed her to sink her middle section so that Although our head and her feet were still exposed her body was out of the way of the saor free from danger well what went wrong the mechanism failed to work two screws had been removed from the hinges yeah the Trap wouldn't operate she couldn't sink her body before she could signal to lla it was all over so it couldn't possibly have been an accident definitely not you question as well he's in a State of Shock and under heavy sedation the doctor would only allow me 3 minutes with him but from what he says and from his record he's performed this trick for 11 years without mishap it was his custom to inspect the Box personally before it was brought on did do so last night he swears he did you suspect anybody there's no lack of suspect sir for a starter Miss Rivers I heard her quarreling with Matilda last night just before The Wretched girl crawled into this coffin they hated each other enough the matter your car's here to take you to the airport sir thank you I'll be right out what about this Rivers's woman her husband was killed six years ago killed yes he was a trapes artist here in the circus there was an accident and because is a history of violent death I checked out with the local police where the accident happened they say it was a clear case of accidental death however I don't think Miss Rivers grieved for too long because soon afterward she cast up her widow's weeds and took up a Durand now she's involved with Frank Hawkins serious I don't think so she's a cool one I'm sure she can seal off her love life if it gets in the way of her career her main Drive is to run a successful circus there's no doubt these deaths have given it a morbid glamour recent box office returns have been spectacular fill me in on this man you mentioned Frank Hawkins he too is definitely worth watching I checked on his past found out he killed a man in Toronto Canada 3 years ago the inquest the verdict was justifiable homicide selfdefense is there any evidence to connect him with what happened last night no none at all what about llo well that's a bit of a puzzle although there was no formal marriage and Matilda was a bit of a flirt they seemed to be a happy couple and yet I found out that llo had been gambling away their joint earnings maybe they quarreled over that I've had no time to check on that yet maybe one way to find out about all of them is to close down the circus uh if I may suggest at this stage we gain Nothing by doing that shut the circus and all my suspects scatter this way they all remain together under my eye all right Brooks I'll go along with you do you need any help I'd rather work it alone very well it's any matter of two more days before the circus opens in London stay with it all right driver see you in [Music] London [Music] Monica have you decided on my share yet after we open in London I'll have my lawyer draw up a contract but the way I feel at the moment you're only sharing trouble Frank I have an urge to get rid of the circus leave it and get rid of it you can't do that and no matter how difficult things are you've got to get a grip on yourself I can't help it I've got the Jitters I'm not made of stone look all eyes are on you Monica how you act affects everybody I always admired the cool sure way you ran things well it's getting to be more than I can handle what with the police hounding me and the performers scared and griping and suspicious of each other if you crumble everything you've worked so hard to achieve will fall apart you know for the first time it isn't enough this circus is jinxed it's becoming a nightmare I keep wondering and thinking who's next what's going on here mother gustavo's taken me into his act I'm sorry my knife frightened you miss Rivers frighten I'm furious who gave you the right to make decisions around here where's Wanda you're regular partner she's been drinking again there is no stopping her more and more it is dangerous to work with her without a reliable partner I shall have to cancel not so fast then what should I do Angela volunteered I considered myself lucky I wanted to surprise you that you did I want to work you told me to maybe that's not a bad idea well with llo and Matilda out you're certainly going to need gustavo's act oh please let me do it you're not lying about Wonder go see for yourself she'll barely make it today about the future I let you make the decision all right I'll check details with you later and I want to see this act before we open in London thanks just one warning darling the hazards of the ACT are nothing compared to the dangers built in into Gustavo he thinks he's a throwback to kasanova and Dan one you flatter me Miss Rivers but believe me nothing is further from my mind keep it that [Music] way [Music] [Applause] [Music] you look beautiful Ry I always dress up for the big party I remember how you looked last year you're absolutely sparkled one thing I like about coming to London this celebration Miss Rivers gives us all you can eat no all you can drink yeah we can forget all our troubles and concentrate on having a good time well what are we waiting for let's [Music] go Monica excuse me to you here's hoping you banish the Jinx I'll drink to that [Music] that you're certainly right not to cancel a party everybody's enjoying themselves when people are troubled give them a celebration you know the French Revolution could have been avoided if Louis the 16th had done that

[Music] youth I'm famished would you get us some food sure Angela you're not dancing aren't you enjoying yourself you seem to be doing it for the whole family anything wrong with that I heard what your plans are with lover boy Frank I was hoping that we could go away together when the season ends Just the Two of Us Angela may I remind you that you made the decision to stay here yes I wanted to stay because I still hoped I had a mother but it's funny all my memories of mother or of teachers and other people who brought me up I was shunted around from place to place like a piece of baggage with a wrong address pasted on it but you certainly never lacked anything no except what I needed most [Music] [Applause] [Music] you may I join you please superintendent I hope that you're aware that we're all still jittery and under tremendous tension I have an eerie feeling that the killer will strike again any moment that's quite understandable particularly in a place like a circus where everyone has freedom of movement two elements Governor killer motive and opportunity here there are all kinds of opportunities what about motives you have to have a reason for killing of course some are obvious aren't they like immediate gain or Revenge some are strange subtle difficult to Define what steps have you taken for tomorrow night's opening I'll show you Mr rivers on special instructions from commissioner Dolby your opening night will be covered like this we'll have Scotland Yard men stationed all around the grounds at strategic points at the animal pens the Caravan lines cantens all the exits entrances and of course we'll have men mingling with the audience and also backstage Believe Me Miss Rivers every precaution possible to prevent anyone or anything marring the
