And now, here we are again on our usual visit to Dr. Wattson. He's waiting for us in his study. A cheerful blaze crackling on the hot. Then I leave to see you, Mr. Manning. Hasn't there well been a trotious today? How does beginning to wonder if you'll be able to get here tonight through all this fog?

Yes, it certainly is what you Londoners call a regular pea souper. Indeed. It reminds me of the adventure of the missing submarine plans. The case was sold in the underground. Underground? What you Americans call a Subway. Yes, but what is a solution in a Subway got to do with a Farty Night? No, you see the affair started in weather exactly like this. It was a third week in November, the year 1895 to be exact. On Monday, a dense yellow fog had settled down upon London. On Thursday, it was still there, thick here, and murkier than ever. The first homes had turned its nervous energy to cross indexing its huge reference books. But when, after pushing our breakfast chairs back for the first morning, we saw the greasy browns well still drifting past the windows, homes his patient snapped. Home's if you must pace around in circles, that was you changed directions down, then you're making a visit.

Back, it's inexcusable, Watson, an inexcusable, no initiative, no imagination, nothing ever gets done. If you're alluding to the inactivity in this last session of parliament, my dear, I'm not speaking of our law makers watching bit of our law breakers. The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow. Makes you say, er, I'm not speaking of my law makers watching bit of our lawbreakers. London criminal is certainly a dull fellow. Certainly a dull fellow makes you sir. Well look out of the window ideal weather for committing a crime Criminal advances on his intended victim practically unseen He bounces and disappears into thin air. There have been numerous petty theft Probably petty theft pickpockets rag him up in what's the country coming to? Now if I were a criminal Watson. I for one would move to America Hello, hello Mrs. Hudson's not gonna excited. What's up? I wonder Oh, it's a grand walk. Oh, yes sir. Oh, well, thank you Oh, what's it sir? Oh wait until I open it can't you?

Ah, dear me what next most unusual Watson most unusual what's most unusual? What's it sir? It's from my brother my crop you remember him He helped us solve the case of the Greek interpreter. He's coming here. Why not? What's so phenomenal about that? Why not? Why not indeed? It's a startling as it would be to me to tram car coming down the country lane Yes, yes now I come to think of it. My crop is rather like a tram car. His rails lead from his pale mal-ludging To the Diogenes Club and Whitehall. That's his circle. I wonder what a people could have derailed it doesn't the telegram and explain it says Must see you about Kadegan West coming at once Good day, Gennwere Good day, Gennwere. Why that's the young chap is found dead in the underground on Tuesday morning I remember reading about it with papers. Oh Man had apparently fallen out of a train and killed himself He hadn't been robbed and there was no reason to respect violence Quite an uninteresting case if I remember correct yet It's serious and I'm to cause micro after his habits. No one this must be an extraordinary event

And you would call any other facts about your fare Yes, and I come to think that there was one unusual bit about who came out of the inquest. They were unable to ascertain at what point he entered the train. His ticket was missing, strange. What articles were found on the body? Oh, 2015, I believe it was. It checkbook and oh yes, yes, there's two dress circle tickets for the Woolidge Setter. The date is that evening. Here's the ticket, say. And it wasn't suicide. And it doesn't procure 30 theater tickets for the evening on which he intends to end his life. Anything else? A small packet of technical papers, technical papers. What kind of technical papers? New papers and say. Serious as that. What do the young man do? Where was he employed? To the truck at Woolidge S. Ah, government employee. There, we have it Watson, British government. Woolidge S. no technical papers. That's why micropters involved in this affair? Don't understand. No, I suppose not. Watson, have I ever told you what micropter is?

No brother, of course. No, no, no Watson. Do you have to be so dense? I mean, do you know what he does? Well, she'd have some vague recollection that you once terminated hell some small office under the British government. It would be more accurate to say in a way that he is the British government. What? His position is unique. He made it for himself. As the tightest and most audibly great of any man alive, with a great capacity for storing facts and giving them the proper interpretation, the conclusions of every government department passed on to him. He's the central exchange, the clearinghouse. Again and again, his word has decided the national policy. He thinks of nothing else. Nothing else can lure him from his contemplation. It is coming here. Yes, Jupiter is descending on us today. What an earth can one have? Now Watson, that sounds suspiciously like a bad pun. Ah, here he is. I'm not mistaken. To speak for himself. Come in, come in. Hello, Microp. What's up? What's up? You look flustered. Nurse Tenerin, business, Sherlock Mercenary. You know how I dislike ordering my habits.

It's extremely awkward for me to come with me off his, particularly with Simon, his presence stays. Dear me. Yes, it's done. I can't sit down. You know what's, and of course. It's okay. I'm trying to find a chair that I can trust a whole man and better take the sofa. You certainly haven't got any thinner. I've never seen the Prime Minister serve set. This is a edmology. It's buzzing like an upset behind. You know anything about the case? No, Watson just been telling me. What was in the newspapers? Just what were the technical papers found on the bodies? For the men of heaven not so loud. Those papers were so wretched youth head in his pocket when their mother from the Friends of the Bruce Parting in Severino, a submarine which would completely revolutionize naval warfare, the most important papers in our government archives. Under no circumstances could it be removed from the office, even the chief inspector of the Navy was forced to go to Wooletsch of a desiratocan sultan. And yet we find them in the pockets of a dead junior talk in the heart of London. Yeah, from an official point of view, it's deplorable, my dear microbes, simply deplorable.

You may laugh, Sherlock, but this country won't be safe until they're recovered. I thought you said that they were found in the pocket of the chief, Caduggan West. Ten papers taken from Wooletsch, seven were found in the pockets of Caduggan West. Three are still missing, the three are central ones. To recover those three papers is imperative. The piece of your depends on... Nice little problem, eh, Watson? Why did Caduggan West take the papers? How did he die? How did his body reach the place where it was found? And where are the missing papers? Finally I'll say to those questions, Sherlock, and you will have done your country an invaluable service. Why don't you solve it yourself, Microwave, W. Good? Possibly. It's a question of digging out detail. Give me the details, and I can give you the solution from an armchair. No, when it comes to running about and cross questioning railway guards and lying on one's face with a lens to one's eye, no, no, that's not my measure. Besides your figure prevents your taking such an undignified position, eh? Very well. Leave that part of it, was it?

Hey Watson? That's all. Good. I've got to care of waiting outside to take the place where the body was found. I can give you the details. I'm on the way. Now, Microwave. Who was the official guardian of these famous papers? No, let's say, personally, it's then Sir James Walter, gentlemen who's grown gray in the service. His patriotism was beyond suspicion. A bachelor, if I'm not mistaken, lives with his brother. Yes. Here's the House of Edmonds, interior, markedly square, during the whole of the evening, when this accident occurred. And the last time I saw him, I was in a car, during the whole of the evening, when this accident occurred, the Admiral vouchers for him. He's one of the two who had the only keys to save him. His key was with him all evening, right? His key, the key to the building, the key to the rule. Who was the man of the other key? The senior clerk, Mr. Sidney Johnson, a man of 40, married, silent, morose, an excellent service record. And he had a bite. He too had his key with him, seems to have spent the evening

playing a game drafts for the Green Groucher and the corner for his lodging. Of course, he has only the word of his Green Groucher back in the wall. Come, come, my dear, my car. No class discriminations, please. The word of a Green Groucher is often just as good as that of an Admiral. And what about the Dragon West? He had a good reputation, a bit half-headed, but straight and honest. At least ever in Potser. He was next to Sidney Johnson at the office. This duty's brought him into daily personal contact with the plans. No one else ever had the handling of them. Oh, it's perfectly clear. You must have taken it. Oh, not so fast, but not so fast. Pull up them up that night. Mr. Sidney Johnson. Hmm. They would have value, commercially, I mean. Oh, yes. There's no doubt that West would have got several thousands for them very easily. And yet, only a small amount of money was found on the body. Perhaps the buyer took it back. I'll feed murdered West. Ah, what puzzles me is, how did West take possession of those papers? To do so, he must have had a false key. Several false keys, Sherlock. Here, the building, the room is where. Oh, well, well, well. Several false keys, then. Let me see. Let me see.

West did take the papers and went into town. And on the way back to Wool Edge, where he is hoping to replace the papers, he is killed and thrown from the train. But the spot for the body was found as considerably passed the station for an endred, which is the route to Wool Edge. Ah, it's interesting. Also, if Young West did make an appointment with some foreign agent to sell the papers that night, why didn't he keep the evening care? Why buy two theater tickets? Exactly. For the morning, actually, a squad of his fiancée halfway there before he disappeared. Ablined. That looks like to me. Why did you take the papers at all? Why not copy them out in the office and sell the copies? He certainly had plenty of opportunity to do so. And why the absence of his underground ticket? That's a ticket we've shown us, which station was near the agent's house. So the murderer destroyed it. Good watching. Very good. Oh, oh, oh, oh. And yet, I wonder. Well, here's the underground station. The railway authorities have sent a man around to show the exact place where the body was found. You won't change your mind and come with us? Crawling around that black hole in my hands and knees? I'm not very likely.

Well, I shall expect a report on your efforts to see me. I never expect too much, my cop. Never expect too much. Before we follow Holmes and Watson into the mazes of the London subway system, I have a word of advice. Every year, Coles calls a lot of sickness. Every year, they cause a lot of expense and time lost from work. Always regard a cold, seriously. Always treated, earnestly. At the first time of a cold, take groves, Bromo-Quinine tablets. Bromo-Quinine tablets are famous relief for the distress of a cold. Their efficacy has been fully established. Bromo-Quinine tablets go right to work on a cold symptom. They don't waste any time. They don't pull any punches. They quickly relieve the misery of a cold. They help reduce the fever of a cold. Thousands of people keep Bromo-Quinine tablets heavily all winter. Thousands of people depend on them as their relief for colds.

No other preparation enjoys greater confidence than Bromo-Quinine tablets. Follow the example of millions, and at the first time of a cold, take groves, Bromo-Quinine tablets. Get them at any drugstore, a few cents a box. Ask specifically for groves, GRO, VES. Bromo, VRO, M-O. Bromo-Quinine, Q-U-I-M-I-N-E. Groves, Bromo, Quinine tablets. This way, sir. Step right along the tracks. It doesn't say. Supposing a train should come shooting round at Kov. Oh, that's all right, sir. There won't be another for five minutes anyway. Here we are, sir. This is where they come from. Right here, alongside the rails. Line on its face, it was. Spooky old place, eh, home? Like the catacombs only without the skeleton. Anything in his hands when they found him? Larissa. Were they clenched? Well, spread out as if he were protecting himself. Larissa, there was what you might call relax.

But time did always happen. Well, sir, the train he was oystered out of, as near as we can figure past along here, about midnight on Mandel. All the carriages of an experiment for signs of violence, I suppose? They didn't find math and not even the missing ticket. There was a passenger to all gate on the ordinary train, about 1140 it was. He said he'd heard heavy, fab. I saw something strike in the line, just before the train reached this station. But it was so foggy, he said he was blessed if he could see what it was. Home. What's the matter? I don't know. What are you staring at? The Kirk Watson. What are the rails? What are you mean? I suppose there are not many curves. There's a abrupt as this. No, sir, I can't say as there is. What a curve. I've got to do with it. Oh, an indication. What's a million indication? Hmm, unique. Perfectly unique, and yet? Why not? I don't see any indications of bleeding on the line. No, sir, there wasn't any to speak of. But I understand there was a considerable wound. That bound was quite a bit. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

What's the considerable wound? That bound was crashed right enough. Home. You hear that? It's a train. It's coming as well. Runs it. Runs the alarm. Yes, sir. Well, up there. There's a place where there are trains. Switches on. And what? And what? It's just around the curve. Well, we'll have a mate. Yes, we will. Faster. Here it is, sir. Come on. Here comes the train now. We'll make it. Ah, Justin, by chance, from the level of heaven, you're on the wrong track. Well, that was an hour of escape, home. I must say my knees are so shaking. Look at the shoulder of my coat where you pulled it. I'd like a thing for you that I did. Well, we off to now. And then it's fog. Yes, it's a nice afternoon. Supposedly we pay a few calls. I think that James Walter claims our first attention. After that, we might drop in on Miss Westbridge. Westbridge? Oh, she. She is. Good. I'm going to West's fiancee. And the last person I'm going to say is, we've accomplished absolutely nothing so far, except to get ourselves nearly an hour late in the underground. Our fault is perfectly obvious. The young man had a quarrel with someone. No, probably to the agent. To whom he sold the paper.

And got himself thrown out of the railway carriage for his pay. I disagree with you, my dear Watson, his body fell from the roof of the carriage where it had been placed. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, take that carriage where it had been placed. A dug-un-west met his death elsewhere. A roof of the train? Consider the effects, Watson. A, the curve in the tracks. The body is funded a spot where the plane pictures and sues as it comes around the points. V, there's no ticket, C. But there're no signs of bleeding on the line because the body had fled elsewhere. Everything fished together. But, where was the body placed on the track? I think I can make a fair guess of that, my dear Watson. Ah, here we are. This is the famous official villa of Sir James Walter. And that, if I'm not mistaken, is his brother, Colonel Valentine, just coming out of the house. What's the matter with the man he looks positively haunted? Oh, pardon me Colonel Valentine, but can you tell me if Sir James is at home? Sir James? Sir James is dead.

Good heavens, dead. He died this morning. It's terrible. Terrible. How did he die? Oh, it's this horrible scandal. My brother sir was better sensed if he's on a... He couldn't survive but his grace to his department. It broke his heart. Pardon me Jack, I must go. It broke his heart. Most of the polling development. Hey Holmes? I wondered if his death was natural or if the poor fellow killed himself. Yes. Will you tell Miss Westbred to miss Sherlock Holmes but like to see her? Oh please, come in gentlemen. I'm Val at Westbred at home. I've been expecting you ever since I heard you had taken the case. Please be seated. Thank you. Oh, Mr. Holmes, we must say his good name. He couldn't have done it.

Good I can move the most sure as patriotic gentlemen all know. He couldn't have done it. But he would have cut his right hand off rather than sell his tits he could. But the facts might be of Miss Westbred. I admit I can't explain them. Was he in need of money? No Mr. Holmes. His need was simple and his salary very good. He'd saved several hundred pounds. We were to be married at the new year. I see. Have you noticed any signs of mental excitement? Well, that is... No, come Miss Westbred. Be frank with us. Yes, Miss Holmes. Without neither. I had a feeling that there was something on his mind. Tell us about it, will you? We were on the way to the theatre. It was a four-gy night to remember. We were walking slowly. Our way took us close to his office. Could I have been seen spotful and worried? What's the matter? You haven't said a word for the last five minutes. Have I said a dumb thing? Of course not. It's just that I've got something on my mind. Don't want to tell me about it. Perhaps I can help.

It's no use for you. It's too serious for me to talk about even the old. You know, Simjan Keri, I feel just a little bit jealous about a good job of yours. When you're cooped up in a building all day. No, you're not going to be jealous of a building. You're not going to be a big deal. But it is funny to think of a husband having secrets to tell his wife. My dear, important secret, I can promise you. There's one in particular that any foreign spy would take good money to get all of them. Oh, it's really? And I don't know. They're awfully slack about some things over there in that building. What's too slack? It would be too confundent easy for a trader to get his hands on those plans. What plans? Never mind, darling. I guess I'm getting a bit melodramatic. I'm going to have to go back to the theatre. Never mind, darling. I guess I'm getting a bit melodramatic. There's something been wearing me. Hello, what's that? That's what? Over there, that shadow moving along the side of the building. It's a man. So that's it. I always suspected it. Who would be madder you? You're too excited. What's wrong with you? Stay here, darling. There's something I have to find out. Stay here.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I waited and waited, but he never returned. On the tombs that you could only save him long, or it meant so much to him. You could do our best, Miss Westbrit. This shadow, this man moving along the building. Did you see it, too? I think I did, Mr. Holmes. But the night was so foggy, I can't be sure. But there must have been a man. Another man of evie couldn't have been, Codagum. Do you want a character? Goes to something. Let us hope so. Come along watching. We must return home. I'm expecting an answer to some telegrams I sent micro after early this afternoon. We've done enough for one day. Holmes, where have you been all day? You left this morning five was up. Now you've come home. We've got towel or eye or suit torn. And it was revenues as a wolf. Yes, I've had a bit of exercise, my dear Watson.

Pass me the tongue, will you? You've done you good to go along. Yes, what were you doing? Investigating the premises and habited my foreign spies known to have been in London on last Monday. My crops and the Elishtibum. Took a bit of doing, too. Climbing walls, breaking into cellars, pounding around rooftop. I discovered there was only one residence which had the proper facilities for disposing of West's body after the murder. Whose residence is it? If it belonged to a Shukou Obistine, the address is 13 Corpil Gardens, Kensington. A gentleman himself was departed for Europe. Gone, has he? He took plans with him and it's too late. Not necessarily Watson. What we do now? We're going to keep a rendezvous with a gentleman who stole and sold those plans. The Ascension will take place at Mr. Obistine's house this evening at 9. What the... do you see what you're talking about? These newspapers are being sold. I found them in the drawer, if you go Obistine's desk, read them. Hmm. The Daily Telegraph Anglicum. The first one says, Two complexion descriptions must have full report, terms agreed to payable windows delivered. Signed Piero. Piero indeed sounds like a Māori girl. I read on, Watson read on.

Second goes, matter preserves, muscles draw off, unless contact completed. Piero again. And the last, they did Monday. The day the crime was committed. Monday night after night, two taps, payment in hard cash. I say, do you think it was something that the plans of the TV's buying? I'm almost positive. And Piero was Obistine himself. But you'll find out for certain this evening. I've invited the gentleman who sold the papers to meters. How I don't understand. I'm certificate verdismaned in today's Daily Telegraph. Tonight, same hour same place, two taps, by the important. Your own safety at stake. Signed Piero as usual. I'm sure, Javier, on says that we've got him. Unless we're too late, come on Watson, there's no time to lose. You can take this passive, pay a page for a change, Allah. I've been carrying it around all day. What's in it? Oh, just a gemmy, a dark lantern, a chiseler and a revolver. A nice equipment for a respectable citizen to be carrying about the streets of London. I must say. You know what, there are times when I suspect we aren't quite respectable.

Here we are. This is coffee of gardens. I can't see so far here. I shouldn't like to be caught in the act of house breaking. Yeah. Oh, this war, Watson. But the window we can use to pry open in the back. Scale it, Warren. Come on, hurry up, hurry up. There's no time to lose. Yeah, yeah. I'll give you a boost. Come on, I'll be. That's it. Look out here, I come. Unless they harm you. They're jealous of cat. It's on cat. This is the window. Like the lantern and give it to the gemmy. One, two. What's your home? I can't run right past here. Almost on the level of these windows. I can reach out and touch it. Yeah, it's quite convenient, wasn't it? Because here the body was placed on the roof of the train. You know, this window sill. You can see the city's blurred with the rest of the body. And here, look, look, look. This brown stain is blurred. No, see, let's get on the house. Very well, then. Come along, come along.

The window's open. Easy, easy, don't break the glass. It's fuzzy, I'll be seeing you happen to return home. No, no, no, no, no. We mistake our chances in this business. Come along, come along. I visited a well-expectability in the front door. I wish he was a cat. Didn't it look quick, sir? Nine o'clock. We can expect him at any moment now. Can we take your position on one side of the door? I'll be on the other. We can punch on him when he enters. I'll throw my grit coat over his head. I don't know, I wish he'd have it here. Shhh, what's... I wonder what it would be, doesn't it come? There he is. Ready now. I'll open the door. You wanted me? No, you don't. Take that. What the hell over here? Easy, what's easy? All right, homes are gone. Well, let's take a look at our cats. Take me over, go to the way, Watson. All right. Hi. It's Colonel Valentine's walk. Walter, it's a dangerous walk. Quite. Well, sir? What have you to save yourself? Why did you steal the Bruce Puttingham plans?

Who is your... What do you know about this? I am Sherlock Holmes, and I know everything. Oh, this is terrible. I'm lost. I didn't realize it was important until my brother killed himself. But I need the money. I had to have it. Overstead off it, give it to me if I can see the plans. So you took an impression of your brother's key? Opened the safe and procured the papers. Kedagon West saw you leaving the building. Followed you here and you killed him. No, I didn't do that. I swear I didn't do it. No. And perhaps you better tell us who did murder Kedagon West. And placed him on the roof of the railway carriage. I'll tell you. I promise you I will. I did the rest. I confess it. But not that. Very well then. How did it happen? I got the papers as you've discovered. It made my way through the fall until I reached the door. Once or twice I planted how it's been followed. I could hear footsteps on the pavement behind me. Colonel Lorder. Yes. You had the papers? Yes. Let me in. Quick. I think someone's been following me.

Yes, it's me. Can't you do this, Valentine? It's freezing. I'll write you a hair. No. You can't sell the papers, Valentine. I won't let you. Look out for the paper. Take that. Have you liked my impetuous young friend? Couple of oversteen. He knows how to use a blackjack hair. You don't kill him. So it's murder. I'm going to get out of this. No. I think difference. You will come in here if you do not wish to taste a blackjack. Who? That is better. What can we do? They'll find the body. I have an idea. First, I look at those papers. I take the ones I want under arrest. We put in the pocket of this foolish young man. And then we give him a nice ride on top of the underground. No? He will be the guilty one. Who will have an old? What a furly unplanted gentleman. What a pity that he got away with the papers, Dr. Watten.

Oh, but he didn't. Ovestine had left a palace for the address with Colonel Walters. That gentleman was sent him a letter dictated by Holmes. Saying that he had discovered that one essential detail in the plans was missing. And that he had procured a tracing which would make it complete for a price. And did Ovestine swallow the bait? Indeed, he swallowed it. He was arrested as he got off the boat at Fox. Some weeks later, I learned incidental that Holmes had spent a day at Windsor Castle. The return will remarkably find Emerald Typing. When I asked him where he got it, he answered that it was just a small present from a certain gracious little old lady. For whom he'd been able to do a small, fat favor? Yes. And I think I can guess the lady is Auguste's name. Elementary, my dear Mr. Manning. Elementary. I see. Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, Dr. Watson will be back to tell us about next week's story. In the meantime, let us repeat, watch out for colds. At the first sign of a cold, take Groves' Bromoquinae tablets.

Bromoquinae tablets are made especially for the relief of colds. In other words, they're specialized medication, and that's what you want. Yes, at the very first sneeze or sniffle, go right to your drugst and get a package of Groves' Bromoquinae tablets. Now, Dr. Watson, next week? Next week, I think I'll tell you the story of the lion's mane. The lion's mane. What was that, Dr. Watson? The answer to that question, Mr. Manning, almost dumped Sherlock Holmes in so. Suffice it to say that they were the last words gossped out by a dying man that he lay right in agony, from the sands of the Sussex coast. You have been listening to a Sherlock Holmes adventure, adapted from Sir Arthur Coleman Doyle's story, The Bruce Pawington Plants, with Basil Rathbone, a Sherlock Holmes, and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. The dramatization was by Edith Meiser. This program is presented from Hollywood every week at this same time by the makers of Groves' Bromoquinae tablets.

Quick relief for colds. This is not Manning speaking. This is the National Broadcasting Company.
