today's episode of Sherlock Holmes, and we're kind of skipping around because we had
we had skipped before and did the night before Christmas episode around Christmas time.
So consequently, we're not going to do that again, and so we move
on to the very next episode of Sherlock Holmes. This one is called the
Case of the Iron Box, and this one I think you're gonna enjoy.
I've got email a few weeks back from a listener wondering when we were going
to get to this one. Well, it's here, so sit back and
enjoy the Case of the Iron Box. This episode from the life of Sherlock
Holmes will be transmitted to our men and women overseas by shortwave and through the
worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. Petree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone
and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family,
the family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite you to listen
to Doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend at
Master, Detective Sherlock Holmes. Well, this is it New Year's Eve,
and I wish you could be here with us this evening so we could toast
each other with a glass of Petrie California port. As you know, port
wine has long been a favorite wine for celebrating a happy occasion. That's because
port is a wine rich in tradition, and you couldn't ask for a more
delicious port than petre Port. Petre Port is a deep gLing red color,
beautiful to look at and wonderful to taste, with a hearty, full flavor
that's right from the heart of the great And when you serve petri Port to
your friends tonight or for any time, remember you can serve it proudly because
the name Petrie is the proudest name in the history of American wine. And
now I'm sure doctor Watson's waiting for us, so let's drop in and see
it. Good evening, doctor, good evening. It was about help drop
your usual chair. Thank you. That's it. Well did you enjoy the
Christmas holidays? Well, I've I've had a whale of a time, thank
you, but I don't think I can face a turkey or immense pie for
at least another year. How about you? Doctor boy? Had a very
pleasant week too, my boy, fotis, visitors and a flattering number of
Christmas messages to be answered. I say you got a new pipe? Is
that a Christmas present? You pipe? You tobacco pouch and a pound of
my favorite tobacco, all of them sent me from London by old clowns and
a friend of mine to Ian Dunbar, an old client. Huh, well,
do you mean he was one of your patients? Or was he someone
that you and the great Sherlock Holmes help the letter mister bull. As a
matter of fact, it was receiving this gift that reminded me of the story
I've decided to tell you tonight, the story in which Ian Dunbar played a
prominent fot and how did it again? The day before New Year's Eve in
eighteen hundred and ninety nine. Sherlock Holmes and I are such an opposite corners
of a first cost railver carriage, So we spread towards Edinburgh in the Flying
Scotsman. What's at you? And shall our homes up there? Doctor?
It started off as a holiday visit. Mister Bartell, my old friend,
Sir Walter Dunbar l asked Holmes and me to spend a few days with him
at Dunbar Castle, about twenty miles outside Edinburgh. After we left King's Cross
Station, Holmes, his sharp, eager face framed in his dear'stocking cap dipped
into the bundle of fresh papers which he'd brought with him. We left Bedford
far behind us before he thrushed the last one of them under the seat,
cleaned across and offered me his cigars. Care for the guard? What's new?
Thankfully? I'll stick to the pipe. Flying Scotsman's living up to its
name. They're going splendidly, our person greatest fifty three and a half miles
an hour. Oh, I haven't noticed the quarter mile post, nor have
I, but the telegraph posts on this line are sixty yards apart. To
the aid of a watch, the calculation is a simple one. What's my
dea for alone? We have several hours ahead of his. Now, tell
me more about Walter Dunbar. I have a feeling that he's in some kind
of trouble. Who haven't wanted to talk about him? It's not exacted trouble
homes, which is a strange problem that confronts the Dunbar. The problem it
will be settled at midnight tomorrow night. A few years even he is exactly.
But to really appreciate the story, I have to begin by telling you
the death rold Sir Thomas Dunbar, the father of the present baronet. He
was severely wounded at Waterloo, though he managed to last how long enough to
get back to Dunbar Castle. The story goes that as he lay there on
his deathbed, he told his wife of his plans. Didn't agree with lass.
I fetched the baronetcy home from Oloo. What if I fetched the mort
wound as well. I'm not afraid to die. How that niggles me is
that I shall never see the child you bear? So what will Scott no
come in here? Eh? Kenny? He was at the death bed of
his old friend. Who's there? I don't use Send him more, Doc
bright damas it's me Ah, I'm leaving an unborn sound behind me on a
die Now. I don't trust women, or children, or banks for that
matter. But the best part of the wealth and gold in the big iron
box you'll find under the bed. The money is there. I am something
else for a rainy day. You have to keep that box and trust for
me. Sunday. You can turn it over to my boy on the New
Year's Eve before his twenty first birthday, and he'll be a man and wise
enough to know how to use it. Do you understand Sunday light damas.
But supposing your bairn's a girl, a girl, I'll tell you to be
a boy, and we'll name him Walter Aft, my good friend, Sir
Walter Scotty. Interesting story, Watson, And that child, of course,
is the gentleman we are going to see now. So Water done that exactly.
And the first baronet was a friend of Sawalter Scott, while his son
composed of your acquaintance. Why it's a family singularly rich in literary friendships.
Home continue, I suppose you can guess what happened. Sir Thomas Carefrey drew
up a document to specify the new year's eve before the baronet's twenty first birthday,
and the poor child was born on February twenty ninth. Oh so coour
Sir Walter is still waiting for his arm box for of gol. He'll be
eighty four next year, and yet legally, with only one birthday every four
years in the eyes below, he'll at last be twenty one. Most amusing
situation, though, I'm afraid so Water finds it far from entertaining. The
lawyers must have been extremely scrupulous and abiding by the letter of the documentary.
Sandy Murdoch is dead now, of course, but he too is a great
grandson, William Murdoch, who still handles the Dunbars day. He'll be at
the castle tonight to formally hand over the iron Bob. I'm delighted you accept
the homada the invitation of said Walter. My dear fellow. I've needed a
rest, but I've always loathed two stick to one. This situation may pose
a nice little problem for me. Problem. Yes, I'm reasonably certain that
the agents of water Dunbar will not get his iron box full of gold on
this New Year's Eve there, but we shall see you the love we shall
see doctor Watson. I'm glad to see you and mister Holmes here at the
Captain. Thank you, my boy Holmes. This is Ian Dunbar. So
Walters, how do you do, mister dun dun I'm very proud to meet
you, mister Holmes. I've heard a lot about you. My grandfather will
be down in a few moments. Let's go into the library, shall well.
I imagine the Walter is quite excited about tonight termony, isn't he?
Wouldn't you be if you'd waited sixty three years too long for an inheritance.
Thank the Lord, I had the foresight to be born on the prosaic date
of August the twenty first. Even if your grandfather's dead, you will be
the next dononet, I take it. Yes, mister Holmes. You see
my father was killed two months ago at Mafficking. Yes, I read about
it in the papers. My boy, I'm gonna sorry, Thank you.
Doctor. The opening of the box isn't going to be the only ceremony.
At midnight, Dorothy and I are announcing our engagement. Dorothy, Dorothy Small.
She and her father are staying here too, My congratulations. Yes,
is indeed here, indeed man too, Thank you. It's been quite a
battle with her father though he's a businessman and isn't impressed with titles when they
ad the coompanyed by a suitable income. But when we told him about the
inheritance, he relented and gave his consent. Ah, here's Dorothy now,
Dorothy Darling. I want you to meet two friends of mine, mister Sherlock
Holmes and doctor Watson. How do you do? How do you do?
Small? How are you, my dear? From what this young man's been
killing us. I gather that congratulations in order thank you. I finally persuaded
father that Ian would make a worthy son in law. For a while I
was afraid we'd have to elope for Grett the green leading a cottridge on bread
and cheese and law, but Grave the parental rash, just as they do
in the story books. Oh so, Walter, there you are. What's
my dear boy? How are you? And this must be your friends?
Very well for a young nighber who'll be twenty one at midnight? Oh gentlemen,
may I introduce mister Herbert's I believe that we have congratulated you on the
engagement of your daughter. Hmmm. That was supposed to remain a secret until
midnight. The Dunbar box was finally open. Law gonna be gro out you
Herbert. The children are in law and I'm going to settle money on Ian.
And it's New Year's Eve. Let's enter into the spirit of the occasion.
Promote the glasses. Ian. I've had some bottles of my special pride
put out. It's not a liner's port in Scotland, the cream of Dunbar.
My father laid the first bottle down the year before it was born.
And the drink of the brew will surely warn the cockers. You have my
mouse waltering already, so will do Where is this lawyer, fellow, young
Murdoch. Oh, any moment her. As soon as he arrives, we'll
have dinner and then we'll be ready for the evening ceremony. You're bringing the
famous iron box with him, so Walter. And if he doesn't, they
won't get any dinner homes in past. The glasses are on, my boy.
Ah, there you are, Murdoch. Oh you've got the box.
We see now the party is complete. Oh, let me introduce you.
It's Small, her father, mister Small, my grandson Ian, you know,
Sherlock Holmes. Dr Watson. I'm sorry, I'm late, sir Walter.
My train was delayed. Oh that's all right, Murdoch. You're here
and you brought the box. That's all that matters. Here you are,
young lawyer, and drink here. I'll help you for it. I must
say. This is our exciting homes, the famous iron box with its inheritance
of gold. And from the size of the box that are round. Yes,
that's an estimated it's cubic content in gold at around five thousand pounds,
not about some perhaps to a business man like mister Small for a windfall,
to an impecuniar Scottish dart, that strong young man, mister Murdoch, I
mean strong home. A box that size full of golden sovereigns would weigh considerable
amount. And yet the lawyer carried it single handed. No, that we're
all assembled, I'm going to proposals. We're still smers off. Yet,
let's drink to the new year. It means a lot to some others.
Nineteen We should toast more than just nineteen hundreds through water. We should drink
to the new century that's about to begin. I'm afraid that wouldn't be quite
appropriately small to be accurate. The twentieth century won't begin until January the first,
nineteen hundred and one, not nineteen hundred. Of course, that's it,
do they. I'm afraid your wedding can't take place some time yet?
Father, What are you talking about? I wrote an article the God in
the other day that said just the same thing as you, doctor Watson.
And what's more, it said something even more important. It said that nineteen
hundred is not an ep Yeah, rubbish. Leap pier comes every four years.
There was one in eighteen ninety six, then obviously nineteen hundred is one.
I think mister Small may be right. What do you say, mister
Holmes, do you know well? I hope no one would bring up this
point. It's the little problem I referred to on the train. My dear,
what would remember wolves? For Heaven's sake? Answer? He is nineteen
hundred of a leapier. No, I'm afraid it's not, sir Walter.
No, because of a slight imbalance, but otherwise, and be produced in
the calendar of the even century years, only those divisible by four hundred are
leap years. In other words, sixteen hundred was a leap yer, the
year two thousand will be a leapyer. But eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred are
not leap yers. Then you have no birthday next year, So Walter,
and I'm afraid I can't open the box tonight, and the dunbars won't get
their inheritants. You, my dear, don't marry for a few more years.
I would alive rom Maria pauper. Mister Holmes, he you sure of
your facts. I'm very much afraid that I am, young man. Oh
this is terrible. I kind of stun anymore, Anana, don't take it,
bear the swaller here here, drink this it. After all, you
only have to wait another four years. Another four years at my age,
young man, at my age? Oh no, I shall never live that
long. Hey, what is it? Angus prepared? As soon as miserable
meal home. The Walter's gone to his room. The young lovers a million
tiers and small, and the lower murders seem to be positively gloating. Yes,
the most depressing atmosphere in which to welcome the new year. But let
us at least make the best of it. I think I'll go and have
a talk with Sir Walter and you might get chat. Why not try and
cheer up the young folks some of your experiences in India. It's quite NoDEA
join you in the library, call me a few if you want me home.
Ah, there you were, my DearS, all alone in front of
the fire. I'm afraid when not in very good spirits. Oh nevertheless,
I sit down here and join you, if you don't mind. Misery loves
company. You know a very kind doctor. I was just trying to persuade
he and to Elope with me. But he's being most un gallant. He
won't even consider it. How can I, Darling, I've got under two
hundred pounds a year of my own right. How could we live on that?
I was counting on the money the grandfather was going to give us to
get me start. Now now I'm as small. A little earlier you've talked
to break the green and bread and cheese and love in a cottage. There's
a lot to be said for it, you know. I had to be
said for it, yes, doctor, But have you ever tried it?
Not literally, my boy, but to married my wife? When I was
first married, I had very little money. In fact, my income was
just about the sum that you mentioned, and we were very happy. Bah.
But you have a profession, doctor, Look at me. I've been
trained for nothing except to be lead of Dunbar Castle. I can't support a
wife on tradition. But yere, Youngian, you can get some kind of
position. I'm sure here of course. Of course, as a matter of
facture I think that Holmes, what is it? What's wrong? The Devil's
worker? Put Watson come with me over and you mister Dunbar, Mister Holmes,
that's happened sir Walter, I'm his roman was in darkness, but in
the moonlight I saw two figures struggling by the open casement. One of them
was to Walter. As I entered and disappeared from sight, his attacker pushed
him out of the window into the moator. You have an angle away in
the darkness. We just get lanterns and go out to the mote at once.
Though I'm very much afraid, mister Dunbar, that your grandfather is beyond
our help. Doctor Watson will be back in just a second, so I'd
just like to remind you that if you want to serve a wine over the
holidays that you're sure the ladies will enjoy, Sir, Petrie California Muscatel Petrick
muscateell as a golden wine with a wonderful flavor, the flavor of big,
plump muscat grapes. And you know what a flavor that is. I'm sure
you'll find that Patrick musketell is the favorite wine of all women, just as
petre Port is the favorite wine with men. And incidentally, if you're not
sure which to get Petrie Muscatel or petri Port, don't buy one, buy
two. Get them both, and you'll be sure to please everyone. Now
to get back to our story, someone had pushed poor old Sir Walter out
of his bedroom window and enter the moat below. Isn't that right, Doctor
Watson? Yes, of course we grabbed lanterns as fast we couldn't rush outside,
but it was a hopeless cass. The water was eight or ten feet
deep, and it seemed obvious that the elderness of Walter wouldn't have a chance
of saving himself if we searched on the thicker bobbing Lenton's the scuming figures in
the frosty moonlight forming a weird im bing a lanternov Sir, can you see
anything harm a thing? I don't see why your friend doesn't call the police,
Doctor Watson, accomplishing napping You know them out a chance of finding the
old man alive, Mister Small, he wants to avoid a scandal if possible,
for your sake, Sir, as well as the dunbar. A scandal
can't touch me or Dorothy over this. An engagement was never announced, and
it's a great Citticarde should think some new blood in your family. It would
be a great improvement or being confoundly impretinent, and you are be can found
the heart to sir well Holmes, have you given up hope? But Pepe
will never find him in that dragoness and grappling hooks. I have to call
the police. What time is it? So Ian? You know the time?
What did you call me, mister Holmes? So yeah, ye,
sure, yes it does seem a bit premisure homes, but of course you're
right. If your poor grandfather's dead, mister Dunbar, you're a baronet now
and the time set in it's it's a quarter to twelve, mister Horn brought
out of an hour to the new year. So yan doesn't that that suggest
something to real? Yes? Yes it does. So I'm the new baronet,
am I? Very well? Then there'll be no more talk of the
police for fifteen minutes. I want all of you to come back to the
castle with me as the last time of midnight brings out. I shall have
a statement to make a statement that I want you all to hear what you
got it over here for home? Something very funny going on. I tell
you I don't like the look of it, and I watch some mike to
look at it very much. I wish you wouldn't be so des mysterious.
What are you up to? You haven't taken a step yet towards finding the
murderer. And I wonder what causes the deeds of perspiration on mister Small's brown
more humans Small, I wonder what causes the singular look of apprehension on the
face of murderch young lawyer. You remember, of course, on my remarking,
how easily he carried the large iron buckers got here, and he took
a strong man to throw the water out of the window, Smatsman, New
Years approaching, ladies and gentlemen. In view of our recent tragedy, this
is one New Year's Eve when none of us feels like song and jollity.
But there still remains a ritual duty for me to perform. Mister Murdock,
open the iron box please, But I can't do that. It was only
to be open for your grandfather, No, mister Murdock. The phrase was
that it was to be opened on the New Year's Eve before the baronet's twenty
first birthday. I am now the baronet, and I shall be twenty one
next year on August twenty first. Open the box please, mister Murdock in
Darling, have thirty good lad. I hope you think of it. Seen
Murdock open that box very well, but I'm afraid you're in for something of
a shock. All right, scuty. The box is empty except for a
sheet of notepaper in the bottom. What's the meaning of this murder? Read
that paper, severe and you'll understand. I owe you or thousand sovereigns.
And it signed Alexander Murdock on behalf of murder and murder Lawyers, you'd better
explain this. It's the family skeleton. Seren had notice signed them a great
grandfather, the one that witnessed the original deconcern in the box. As soon
as the water was born on that February of twenty ninth, my great grandfather
realized the money wouldn't have to be produced for eighty four years, and so
he stole it. He borrowed it. He always intended to pay it back,
but he was never able to. When he died, he told my
father of his secret. My father in turn told me, We've always planned
to put back the money, Seren, but we've never been able to.
This is daylight robbery. You could prosecute me on the firm still in business.
You can ruin them. You can sue them for every pery they have.
Mister small, you've already shown a marked aversion to my family. I
suggest you allow me to handle their affairs. Well, now tell you,
Daddy, till your row. No one's going to their room. No one's
leaving here until the police arrived. I'm convinced that one of you murdered my
grandfather tonight. If you ask me, it's obvious who that someone is.
Who doctor? What's you? Mister murder? You came here panting to kill
Pearl's Walter because you never intended to open that box. You thought that your
secret would die with him. That's a lie. I was going to tell
him everything and then asked for time to pay the money. I didn't kill,
of course he didn't. There's your murderer, You your sophian father.
What are you saying? I'm saying that he and the murderer he saw that
the box wasn't going to be open for another four years. He realized how
the money couldn't marry Dorothy, so he killed his grandfather and then order the
box open. You're trying to cover yourself. You pushed grandfather out of that
window tonight. You thought that if he died, the box would never be
opened, so Dorothy couldn't marry me. You can't, gentlemen, upon my
soul. Holmes, you seem remarkably calm. I'm mada, Watson. I
must say, I'm absolutely fascinated by listening to three people accusing each other of
murder, and each of them producing perfectly sound motives. It's a remarkable example
of the dangers of reasoning from motive alone. We should profit by experience,
Watson. Mister Holmes, how can you be so calm? There's a murderer
in This is getting a little out of hand. This small let's conclude it.
You're come out now. See it's moving a happy New Year to your
grandfather. So what how am I soon going? What kind of a game
have you been paid? It's a bunny game that Holmes and I invented.
You might call it forcing the issue. I was determined to have the box
open before the next four years, wor out whilst there was still alive to
look inside it. But the prickery of your family murder has made me a
very unhappy mass or Water. I should pay back the money in a few
years. I swear I will be too late to do me in a good
but I'll take care of the Dean gets it half a mind of prosecute,
Grandfather. The money isn't important now that you're all You were counting on it
just the same, my boy. So that you got married Dorothy, I
know she'll never marry a pauper. I will allow it. When I'm twenty
one. You can't stop me, father, and I am going to marry
Ian me quiet. What happened is a very unsavory business. I think that
you owe us an explanation of your behavior tonight you tell him, Holmes,
I fancy a wee drop a crim of dunbar. Watching your search from a
body in the motor has made me The explanation is a very simple one,
ladies and gentlemen. When you arrived here tonight, mister Murdock, I knew
from the way you handled the box that it could not contain the sum of
gold it was supposed to. And so you suspected Paud and devised a plan
to post the opening of the box. Yes, and sir Walter was an
eager conspirator, of course I was. Ian is twenty one next August.
Supposing supposing I had died after he came of age and before my next birthday
four years hands, the box would never have been opened, and so we
invented the fake murder story. By the way, Ian, I must congratulate
you for grasping the possibilities of the situation so speedily. If you hadn't demanded
the opening of the box, the Murdoch's secret might still be a secret the
c plan home. Is it too bad that it had to have such a
miserable ending. I'm not sure that we have finished for the matter. And
mister Murdoch, Yes, mister Holmes, you would say that your family took
four thousand pounds from that box. Yes, mister Couriers, I would have
sworn from its size that it would hold closer to five thousand. And in
your account of the legend, Watson, you told me that Sir Thomas Dunbar
stated of his deathbed that he had put something else in the miss something for
a rainy day. Did the Murdocks find that extra something, No, mister
Holmes, they found nothing but the gold, and that's very odd. I
can't take a closer look at that box. I've been on mind. Since
this seems to be a night of telling secrets, I think you might as
well know father that if you don't give your content with such thing at my
revolution, young middy in but I had little people have been necessary. What
do you mean? Home? Permit me to show you all the treasure of
the dun Bars. What are your pound? Home? See something for a
rainy day that old Sir Thomas spoke of. You. See, since the
cubic contents of the box obviously differed from my calculations, I deduced the existence
of a false bottom, I was correct, and in that space I found
this. It's a manuscript. Quite so, the manuscript of the book.
Look at the title page and see the author's name, history of the Dunbar
family. I saw Walter Scott. I think so, Walter, that an
original and unpublished manuscript by your distinguished namesake will prove worth several times to go
that is missing from that box. You have saved the day for his homes,
My boy, God bless you. Oh oh, this has been as
strange a new year as ever I knew, but it's turned out to be
a bunny one thanks to your homes. Well fill up their glasses we're going
to drink a toss to the new year. Yes, Sir Walter, this
is really a happy occasion, and let's complete it by singing the traditional song
of the season. All aang signed. And in this case when we sing,
should old acquaintance be for good? I feel that in our hearts we
should be thinking of Sir Walter Scott. We died over sixty years ago.
He's made us all very happy here tonight, sure love. Oh God,
well, doctor, that turned out to be a very happy new year for
all concerns. Here's that one new year that I'll never forget. Well,
I sure hope you'll always remember this one too. Oh there's a second,
my boy, that calls for class report. Fine a world to a to
a happy new year, my boy, for you and for our many friends
listening in and to you, doctor. That's good, doctor, this has
indeed been a pleasant association for me. You're the best storyteller I've ever known,
and the Patrie family makes the best wine I've ever tasted. I hope
that, just as they've been making wine for generations in the past, the
Patrie family will continue to make fine wine in the future. Mister Boutell,
I know that you all always be here to tell us just how good that
Petty White is well. I hope so, doctor, and I hope you'll
always be right here beside me to tell another swell story about mister Incidentally,
Doctor, what new adventure are you planning to tell us next week? Next
week, mister Bartell, I'm going to tell you a weird story. It
starts for the series of murders on Hampstead Heath and then with a battle to
the death in the Burning Waxworks. I call it the Strange Case of the
Murderer in Wex The Night. Sherlock Holmes adventure was written by Dennis Green and
Anthony Boucher and was suggested by an incident and this Arthur Conan Doyle story.
The Silver Blades music is by Dean Fossler. Mister Rathburn appears through the courtesy
of Metro Goldwyn Mayor and mister Bruce through the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where
they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series. The Petrie Wine Company of
San Francisco, California invite you to tune in again next week, same time,
same station. Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studio. This
is Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petrie family for a solid hour of
exciting mystery dramas. Listen every Monday on most of these same stations at eight
o'clock to Michael Shane, followed immediately by Sherlock Holmes. This is the Mutual
Broadcasting System. Welcome back. Well, between this episode and the night before
Christmas, they definitely ended nineteen forty five on a hotot with a very with
a very pleasant ending, and they were doing some stuff with dates. It
was kind of interesting. I don't know whether they quite had the law ride
on that twenty first birthday thing. I know we have some I guess they
would call them barristers in the audience, but I don't know if they're experts
quite in that area of law. But actually an amazingly happy ending. Given
the way most of the detective shows end up, no one could be too
dissatisfied with the outcome. All right, Well, we do have a couple
comments to get to Timothy rights in regarding the scandal in Bohemia, one of
my favorite Sure Locke home stories. And Adam does a great job presenting these
old time radio shows. To a new audience. And then we also have
