Speaker 2: the insane house painter named schickel Gruber had converted that
Speaker 2: case city into a place of fear and of pression.
Speaker 1: And what were you and Sherlock Holmes doing there, doctor?
Speaker 2: Just taking a trip, mister Forman. In those early days
Speaker 2: of our association, we didn't have the time, all the
Speaker 2: money for the taking trips. No, no, no. We were
Speaker 2: in Vienna because Holmes had been engaged in certain highly
Speaker 2: important investigations. We were staying in a charming person inhabited
Speaker 2: by students and musicians. And on the night the story began,
Speaker 2: we'd finished dinner and had returned to our room. I
Speaker 2: was busy making some notes on the investigation we just included,
Speaker 2: and Holmes was scraping away at his beloved violin.
Speaker 3: That's wrong. Why can't I get it?
Speaker 2: Pretty?
Speaker 4: To me?
Speaker 5: Pretty? Really old chapter?
Speaker 3: A hippy fingered one of the listen to this sounds
Speaker 3: like a fiddler anolish.
Speaker 2: Wake take it easy, homes did. There's no need to
Speaker 2: fling the violin down like.
Speaker 3: That's not old, chap Why with all your other excellent qualities,
Speaker 3: are you not a pianist?
Speaker 2: What's a piano you going to do with it?
Speaker 3: In this case? Everything is a piano in this room.
Speaker 3: And if you could play it and not that so
Speaker 3: not that I'm struggling with, might have some meaning. Come in,
Speaker 3: oh living to see me?

Speaker 3: Doctor Ullenstein? May I pay my tribute to the brilliant.
Speaker 5: If you're piano.
Speaker 3: Playing, you have the exact precision of praising that that demands,
Speaker 3: Doctor Watson, and I with Christmas the command performance you
Speaker 3: gave it the Imperial Court a fortnight a girl.
Speaker 2: Hey juya, so I knew I had seen you somewhere before.
Speaker 2: My friend was just expressing the need of a pianist
Speaker 2: as you walked in, Young lady. Perhaps I'm trying.

Speaker 2: Who is just that?
Speaker 6: My life is dedicated to my professional understand for line and.
Speaker 3: Now, please tell me what can I do to help you.
Speaker 3: I'm a presume you will come to see me in
Speaker 3: my professional capacity.
Speaker 6: That is correct, heir Homes, So I realized you a
Speaker 6: great detective like you. My problem must seem quite trivial.
Speaker 6: I I am being blackmailed by a man in the
Speaker 6: sponsible He is Shando, our pardier Hungarian painter who lived
Speaker 6: in the studio upstairs. I've heard of him since two
Speaker 6: months now. Ever, since you know my secret, he's come
Speaker 6: to me for money, and today he telled me he
Speaker 6: must have two hundred and fifty goods or he will
Speaker 6: go to the police. I have not that much money,
Speaker 6: hair Homes. Please to tell me what I shall do.
Speaker 5: Just what hold does he have of you?
Speaker 6: My brother Karl he got into some trouble. He and
Speaker 6: the police were looking for him, but he ran away
Speaker 6: to munch as you say Munich. Him thunder our party
Speaker 6: knew of this. He was a friend of mine. Thought,
Speaker 6: when this trouble come on my body, I turned to
Speaker 6: Shandor for help, which mother call out of the country,
Speaker 6: and he turned on me for.
Speaker 2: Black A fat man.
Speaker 3: First, black failures A cowards at hand, I think doctor
Speaker 3: Watson and I will call on the gentlemen. By the way,
Speaker 3: does he have any written evidence of your brother's crime?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has this address in Munich. Show Shandor a
Speaker 6: letter from him when he first go there, and keep
Speaker 6: the letter.
Speaker 4: Do not give it back to him.
Speaker 2: If he gave the police your brother's address at the
Speaker 2: rest of her they would of course.
Speaker 6: Hair Homes, Will you please to tell me what I
Speaker 6: should do? I cannot go on to say my music.
Speaker 3: I shall be most happy to help you, and if
Speaker 3: you will lead the way, we'll see how persuasive we
Speaker 3: can be with Shandor a padi.
Speaker 6: This is studio Hairhomes at the end of the corridor.
Speaker 3: I see, I remember a young lady. You better let
Speaker 3: me do most of the talking.
Speaker 2: He must be out, that's as possible. Locked.
Speaker 3: I think bearning a mind out on his profession will
Speaker 3: take the liberty of opening his door.
Speaker 2: Looking a very complicated lot for me, and.
Speaker 3: I think this skeleton key will do the trick.
Speaker 6: Very dangerous hair homes.
Speaker 2: It's shun no, no, no, no, don't you worry about
Speaker 2: that product. We're perfectly capable of taking care of our souls.
Speaker 3: Ah there we are, close the door behind you, Will Watson, I.
Speaker 2: Don't see a thing. I'll strike a match.
Speaker 5: Oh God, look at him.
Speaker 3: Stober his death the gas, Willy Watson, I try hope
Speaker 3: are judging from his appearance for a line, Fullenstein. I
Speaker 3: think Sandor Party had other enemies besides yourself less scrupulous enemies.
Speaker 2: He's been strangled because the finger marks on his throat
Speaker 2: is he yes, but it is too warm. Though I'm
Speaker 2: afraid he's dead.
Speaker 4: I am glad.
Speaker 6: That's a bad man deserved to that.
Speaker 3: Watson. You notice the fingers of the killer, broken the
Speaker 3: skin and drawn blood.
Speaker 6: We should he not communicate with the police before we
Speaker 6: do that?
Speaker 3: For line, we may see if we can find you
Speaker 3: a brother's letter. Help move the body, Will you Watson?
Speaker 3: Lying across an open dispatch box that might contain the
Speaker 3: document in question, Go on.
Speaker 5: That's it a.
Speaker 3: Mhm, but a painter the late mister that party was
Speaker 3: an unusually methodical man. Everything filed here in alphabetical order.
Speaker 3: You know, we are you fall line, they are Wullenstein
Speaker 3: and the letter has the Munichue postmark. I think this
Speaker 3: must be the document in question when you examine it,
Speaker 3: please for all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this is the letter here, Holmes. How can
Speaker 6: I thank you?
Speaker 3: It's very little thankful for it's the blackmailer are still alive.
Speaker 3: I feel it wouldn't have been so simple a matter.
Speaker 3: I wonder what other treasures this box contains? Hello, Hello,
Speaker 3: what is it?
Speaker 2: All? Interesting?
Speaker 3: Extremely interesting.
Speaker 2: Information on the case that we've just been working out.
Speaker 3: From the names attached to the document, I think we
Speaker 3: may assume that the dead man did not confine his
Speaker 3: blackmailing to struggling young pianists. He was after big game tools.
Speaker 2: We'd better be careful, homes. I don't think that we
Speaker 2: should go for the police just yet.
Speaker 3: No, we will start by having a little talk with
Speaker 3: the other residents of this pon who lives in the
Speaker 3: room adjoining this one. I too here and the room
Speaker 3: across the landing.
Speaker 6: L Kung Fo, the guy Chinese actor. He's performing here
Speaker 6: on Vienna.
Speaker 3: I see them I think we'll start by calling on him.
Speaker 3: Return to your room, forelign, and we will let you
Speaker 3: know later what we've found. In the meantime, saying nothing
Speaker 3: to anyone of.
Speaker 6: What has happened, do everything you tell me. Please once again,
Speaker 6: please let me thank you for what you've done for.
Speaker 2: You know, Holmes, I'm not sure that girl didn't strangle
Speaker 2: a fundy, yourself a pianist. We have unusual strength of
Speaker 2: her fingers, and we know that she had the motive.
Speaker 2: Look how naturally calm she was when she realized the
Speaker 2: man who was dead and discreet what he was alone.
Speaker 3: I think what you refer to was unnatural calmness is
Speaker 3: really the cold attachment of the true water.
Speaker 2: Well, I have a feeling we should keep an eye
Speaker 2: on her, just to say.
Speaker 5: We were watching.
Speaker 3: We will. And now I suggest, with their visit across
Speaker 3: the landing to the distinguished Chinese actor, mist A lying
Speaker 3: to fold you wish to see me if you could

Speaker 5: The possibly.
Speaker 3: Take a look at these Watson.
Speaker 2: And the hair, long black hair, Where were they?
Speaker 3: I'm a hook in the cupboard, and one bracing themselves
Speaker 3: back so as to be out of sight, could easily
Speaker 3: leave such evidence.
Speaker 5: I've got it home, I've got it.
Speaker 2: The long black hair, the long nails that caused the
Speaker 2: peculiar mouf, and the party's throat and the small footprint.
Speaker 3: It was woman, possibly, but which one? Caroline Pullenstein and
Speaker 3: Signora Fiolett him both have blonde hair, remember, and it
Speaker 3: must be that stop us one, not necessarily?
Speaker 2: Who else?
Speaker 3: Not a woman might have small feet, long nails, and
Speaker 3: long black hair.
Speaker 2: By joby Chinese accessly.
Speaker 5: Come on, I hope he's too uh, I come on,
Speaker 5: let's go in.
Speaker 2: Look at him. He's praying.
Speaker 5: His head's in his head.
Speaker 3: Oh my dear fellow, I'm afraid prayers can do him
Speaker 3: no good. Now he's been strangled, strangled with his own chow.
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that second.
Speaker 3: For a fast question.
Speaker 1: I know you've probably tasted port wine, but have you
Speaker 1: ever tasted Petree California port?
Speaker 2: Have you?
Speaker 1: Because if you haven't tried pet Report. Well, you can
Speaker 1: just tell yourself right now. You don't know how good
Speaker 1: a port can be. Pet Report is rich, red and hearty.
Speaker 1: But what you want to know is how does it taste.
Speaker 1: The answer to that is short and sweet. The taste
Speaker 1: is terrific. And say Petrick, California Muscatel is on the
Speaker 1: terrific side too. Petrie Musketell has the flavor and fragrance
Speaker 1: of real juicy muscat grape. Both wines are perfect after
Speaker 1: dinner or anytime you're sitting around talking with your friends.
Speaker 2: Try them. They're great.
Speaker 1: They've got to be because they're Petree. And now back
Speaker 1: to tonight's you Sherlock Holmes. The famous pair are staying
Speaker 1: in Vienna, where they've become involved in the mysterious strangling
Speaker 1: of a notorious blackmailer. As we rejoin our story, Sherlock
Speaker 1: Holmes and doctor Watson are cost questioning another of the suspects,
Speaker 1: a Swedish sculptress by the.
Speaker 8: Name of Madame John.
Speaker 3: What do you want with me?
Speaker 4: Why have you come in here?
Speaker 2: We just wanted to ask you a few questions, Madam
Speaker 2: with my figurines?
Speaker 3: May I ask you always working?
Speaker 2: Play?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But what's that to you?
Speaker 6: Do you wish to buy some of my sculptors?
Speaker 3: No, but I assure you the question was pertinent.
Speaker 7: Tell me who you are and stop fasting my time.
Speaker 2: My friend is a private detective, madam, a detective. Who
Speaker 2: ain't you here?
Speaker 3: No one sent me here. I'm conducting an investigation of
Speaker 3: the murder of schandor of Paddi and.
Speaker 6: Did Good and Jack.
Speaker 2: Yes, madam, but we happen to know that you had
Speaker 2: a motive for killing him. He's been blackmailing you. Get
Speaker 2: out of here.
Speaker 7: What light have you to come here?
Speaker 2: In question? No? No, no, no, look here, madam. If
Speaker 2: you know what's good for you, you will ask.
Speaker 5: So can you know what's good for you?
Speaker 6: You'll get out of here.
Speaker 3: Both mine, Watson, But Homes you can't part give in, madam,
Speaker 3: for our intrusion, We've meant no rudeness.
Speaker 7: You have been read intolerance.
Speaker 3: We real go away.
Speaker 2: We never made you back down like that. Homes. Obviously
Speaker 2: she's the killer.
Speaker 3: But the hair with chuck black, Yes, short hair, and
Speaker 3: didn't you notice the size of our feet?
Speaker 5: Anyway?
Speaker 3: She works in play but novel. I might have suspected her.
Speaker 2: Home, so should tell me what you're driving out of the.
Speaker 3: Answer to these killings now, Watson.
Speaker 5: But I'll have to prove it.
Speaker 3: I'm said, I must work with I to old Chap.
Speaker 3: If you mind waiting for me in our room.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, wait a.
Speaker 3: Minute, wait a minute, that may be dangerous. Wait for
Speaker 3: me and Senora. Your letter is wrong. If you mind,
Speaker 3: I'll join you there as soon as my work is done.
Speaker 3: Pretend that you have returned because you were so enchanted
Speaker 3: with her voice got home.
Speaker 2: You don't ask me to be alone with that woman.
Speaker 3: Do as I say, Watson, and don't question me. Isn't
Speaker 3: a moment to be lost of different?
Speaker 7: Of course you know that Aria, my dear doctor.
Speaker 2: No matter, ma'm.
Speaker 4: You're not about great Hutt.
Speaker 2: Course, But I can't identify its work.
Speaker 7: That was left, so you're still in mad at all?
Speaker 7: Tell me your favorite composer.
Speaker 6: I will you sing something with just for you.
Speaker 7: I will pull the gas light down.
Speaker 3: And that will be so much more a monthing.
Speaker 7: No, oh, is your favorite composed?
Speaker 2: Haven't? What's your name? Warns?
Speaker 7: There is a heavy like a master German composers, not
Speaker 7: the theolactic, and a musterream.
Speaker 2: Oh here she goes again?
Speaker 4: Come in.
Speaker 7: Cone of the street is come into the lie.
Speaker 2: Chinese act.
Speaker 3: I am sorry to make commotions, but as we say
Speaker 3: in my country, those for return from craves, secrets, double knowledge.
Speaker 4: Oh you're devil, you devil, I kill you.
Speaker 2: On thank you one.
Speaker 3: Confession, senor, you can justify it to it. Watch some homes,
Speaker 3: are you're not general.
Speaker 2: My liking? Yeah, she's painted home.
Speaker 3: Painted, eh, but an undramatic exit for a most dramatic lady.
Speaker 2: Well homes. Now that you've tell Senora Violetti over to
Speaker 2: the police, perhaps you tell me what made you certain.
Speaker 4: That she was.
Speaker 3: It was obvious from the beginning that a party was
Speaker 3: strangled by someone with long fingernails the night on four
Speaker 3: was killed at ruled him Mountains. Then who was the
Speaker 3: woman with a motive and long nails? And I mentioned,
Speaker 3: my dear fellow, was the woman falling Ollenstein? Know being
Speaker 3: a conci pianist, her nails were naturally shot the sculptists
Speaker 3: who worked in clay.
Speaker 2: Again, no, that would make.
Speaker 3: It impossible for her to mold her delicate figurines. Therefore, Signoletti,
Speaker 3: by the process of elimination, was the only woman with
Speaker 3: long nails.
Speaker 2: Why did she stragle the Chinese actors too?
Speaker 3: And doubted that he witnessed the first kill. The long
Speaker 3: black hairs in the closet were from his cue, and
Speaker 3: I presumed that later he threatens Senora Yalette, and so
Speaker 3: he himself was strangled.
Speaker 2: I still don't understand why she stangled up, partly in
Speaker 2: the first place.
Speaker 3: You want more, I think you'll find that been backmailing
Speaker 3: her tool. Remember, he had documents incriminating everyone in the
Speaker 3: house except her, and I think we may assume she
Speaker 3: killed him and then removed her own papers from the
Speaker 3: dispatch box.
Speaker 5: But I know proof and so well.
Speaker 3: I had to frighten her into confession.
Speaker 2: So that's why you disguise yourself as I tung Fu.
Speaker 3: Yes, I borrowed the robes from his room. Lucky that
Speaker 3: the lights below as I entered. Yes, And it's also
Speaker 3: fortunate that to the average European all Chinese look alike,
Speaker 3: Alan Oh fraulein Urenstein, you were coming in to see
Speaker 3: you in a few minutes.
Speaker 6: So anxiously is everything all right?
Speaker 3: Well from your point of view, my dear young lady,
Speaker 3: there's nothing more for you to worry about.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 6: I would like to say you hair homes I I've.
Speaker 5: Done it a little for you.
Speaker 3: But if you really feel that you want me something,
Speaker 3: perhaps justice once, you wouldn't mind accompanying an amateur. It
Speaker 3: would be a pleasure. What did you wish me to
Speaker 3: play in Mota matter? But of course ran that spent.
Speaker 6: You like doctor.
Speaker 2: Very much, very much. In fact, I might say he
Speaker 2: is my favorite composer. Charming, perfectly charming. I only wish
Speaker 2: that that all our adventures then, so melodiously tonight.
