Mr. Fleming will be laid to rest in his family's tomb on Monday.
Lizzie Allen:
And I hope he stays there.
Cornelia van Gorder:
Well why shouldn't he?
Lizzie Allen:
This is his house, and ever since he died, some funny things have happened here.
Cornelia van Gorder:
For instance?
Lizzie Allen:
The housekeeper, the cook and the butler said that they heard strange noises at night, and the upstairs maid swore she met a man without a face coming up the back stairs.
Cornelia van Gorder:
Oh so that's why they quit and left me to run this place without a staff.
Lizzie Allen:
They didn't tell you, Miss Gordy, but the truth is they were scared to stay.
Cornelia van Gorder:
But you're still here, Lizzie! Haven't you seen anything?
Lizzie Allen:
No... no and even if I had, I ain't afraid of ghosts. They're afraid of me! Honest, Miss Gordy, a spiritualist once told me that ghosts was allergic to me.
[Cornelia Van Gorder laughs]
Lizzie Allen:
But, but this bat fella they keep talking about in the paper - I - I think he'd be different.
Cornelia van Gorder:
No, I don't think you'd have the same effect on him.
[thunder crashes]
Cornelia van Gorder:
Oh dear!
Lizzie Allen:
What are they trying to do, drive people away from this part of the country?
Cornelia van Gorder:
Why? What does it say about the Bat?
Lizzie Allen:
His specialty seems to be killing women, my goodness, two of them in one night, all his victims died the same way, like their throats had been ripped open with steel claws.
Cornelia van Gorder:
That's charming, I'll have to try it some time.
[Lizzie stares at her weird]
Cornelia van Gorder:
In a book.

- Are you all right now?
- Yeah, I'll be all right in a minute.
00:00:04.644 --> 00:00:08.008
I remember now, I took a drink
of wine from that decanter there.
00:00:08.187 --> 00:00:11.533
- Miss Van Gorder told me to help myself.
- She wouldn't put nothing in it.
00:00:11.804 --> 00:00:14.985
Well, somebody did, somebody
who knew I was on duty here.
00:00:15.226 --> 00:00:17.472
Mean it was somebody
that got Miss Van Gorder.
00:00:17.502 --> 00:00:20.097
I can't find her anywhere, upstairs,
downstairs or in the basement.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.001
I told the housekeeper to get Warner.
00:00:23.202 --> 00:00:25.373
Lieutenant Anderson
will want to know about this.
00:00:25.705 --> 00:00:26.549
Hello?
00:00:26.082 --> 00:00:29.459
Yeah, this is Davenport
at the Oaks, we got trouble here.
00:00:30.544 --> 00:00:33.469
Well, for one thing I was drugged. Yeah.
00:00:33.891 --> 00:00:37.006
But I must've been knocked out, because the
maid tells me Miss Van Gorder is missing.
00:00:38.534 --> 00:00:40.524
You better call Anderson and let him know.
00:00:41.052 --> 00:00:43.042
He's not at home? Well, where is he?
00:00:44.686 --> 00:00:46.495
Out on a case? What case?
00:00:47.565 --> 00:00:48.862
Dr. Wells?
00:00:49.706 --> 00:00:51.004
What else did they tell you about him?
00:00:51.319 --> 00:00:54.711
Oh hurry, will you?
We got to find Miss Cornelia!
00:00:56.776 --> 00:00:57.666
Ok.
00:00:58.465 --> 00:01:00.485
Lieutenant Anderson is out on a case.
00:01:00.832 --> 00:01:04.048
Dr. Wells was found dead in a
room next to his garage, murdered.
00:01:05.505 --> 00:01:07.012
Dr. Wells?
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:10.857
There's something queer about the killing of
Wells but headquarters won't talk about it.
00:01:11.158 --> 00:01:14.233
Lizzie, Warner isn't in his room,
there's no sign of him anywhere.
00:01:14.001 --> 00:01:16.001
And I was supposed to
keep an eye on that guy.
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.036
Where is Miss Cornelia?
That's what I want to know!
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:23.999
Wait a minute, didn't you say that the chain
and the bolt were off of the front door?
00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:26.384
- I certainly did.
- Well, maybe Miss Van Gorder went outside.
00:01:26.414 --> 00:01:29.001
Oh, she never would, we better look.
00:01:30.514 --> 00:01:35.248
I can't, I can't breathe, there's no air.
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:44.822
Miss Cornelia?
00:01:45.003 --> 00:01:47.158
- Miss Van Gorder?
- Miss Cornelia?
00:01:47.188 --> 00:01:48.907
- Miss Cornelia?
- Miss Van Gorder?
00:01:48.937 --> 00:01:52.789
Look, there's a light in that
room on the third floor.
00:01:53.437 --> 00:01:54.605
Were you up there tonight?
00:01:54.001 --> 00:01:57.809
Well, of course I was, but I turned the
lights out before I came downstairs.
00:01:57.839 --> 00:02:00.003
Miss Cornelia might've turned them on again.
00:02:00.004 --> 00:02:02.331
That's where we're
going to look first, come on.
00:02:23.452 --> 00:02:27.999
Cornelia? Cornelia?
00:02:28.822 --> 00:02:33.001
- Miss Cornelia?
- Yes I'm, I'm here.
00:02:37.999 --> 00:02:40.013
Right here!
00:02:43.613 --> 00:02:45.075
Here we are Miss Van
Gorder, what do we do now?
00:02:46.003 --> 00:02:49.624
Over the mantle, there are five panels.
00:02:50.001 --> 00:02:53.166
Strike it, with your hands.
00:02:57.001 --> 00:03:01.608
- Which panel did you say Miss Van Gorder?
- Oh I, I just...
00:03:02.999 --> 00:03:05.999
Miss Van Gorder, which panel?
We couldn't hear you!
00:03:05.999 --> 00:03:10.001
She said strike it, what difference does
it make which panel? Strike them all.
00:03:13.352 --> 00:03:14.422
Look!
00:03:27.001 --> 00:03:34.999
Oh, it's all right now,
it's all right dear, Lizzie's here.
00:03:40.999 --> 00:03:41.001
- Feeling better?
- Yes, much better.
00:03:41.001 --> 00:03:42.797
We'll take you to your room.
00:03:42.999 --> 00:03:45.834
Oh, no you wont, I'm going to
stay right here, I'm quite all right.
00:03:46.416 --> 00:03:49.066
Oh, how blessed it is to
breathe without an effort, you know...
