I fear no man!

Lady, you better get that baby

home. The monster's on the loose.

Come on, boys.

Something must've frightened the

nurse. She left the baby carriage.

I'll take it to her, because

I know where the kid lives.

Besides, I ain't anxious

to meet the monster.

Good. Come on, boys.

Hello?

Inspector, I just saw

the monster in Hyde Park.

But that's impossible, madam.

He was seen in the East End.

It can't be.

Hurry over to the West End.

They've seen the monster there, too.

Jock, since when have

you become a nursemaid?

He's a nice one.

He never said he was married.

Let's have a look at the little tyke. Yeah.

Go on, have a look.

Let's look at him.

Does he look like you?

There he is.

You say he's been seen in the

vicinity of the Wax Museum.

Right away, sir.

Barrows, Thompkins,

search the Wax Museum.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Now he's been seen

crossing Threadneedle Street.

Take a patrol wagon

and scour the whole section.

Oh, no!

Hey, Horace,

don't go so blasted fast.

The monster!

You have your nerve.

Who were you

talking to, Oscar?

Go easy, Oscar.

I can't keep up the pace.

There he goes. Surround the

building so he can't escape.

I'll go up there.

We lost him, governor.

Well, he can't be far.

Let's search the area.

Aye, governor.

Bruce. I thought you were

the monster. I'm sorry.

There he goes!

There he goes!

Unfasten that clothesline

so I can tie him up.

Boy, will this open

the Inspector's eyes.

Inspector, I tell you, there

is only one monster, and he's...

You men cover the back

of the house.

You two stay here in front,

in case Jekyll returns.

Vicky!

Vicky!

Bruce.

You can't escape, Jekyll.

The house is surrounded.

His face is changing.

Yeah.

So what was it?

It's a madman.

No, it isn't.

It's a madman.

It was Dr. Jekyll,

I tell you. It's Dr. Jekyll.

All right, break it up.

Come on.

Get moving. Come on.

Get along with you.

You know better than that.

Come on. Move along now.

What do you want? Inspector,

I caught the monster.

Now this ought to put me

back on the police force.

It will if it's true, but after

today, I don't believe anything.

This is true.

I've got him outside.

Bring him in, boys.

You'll struggle more when they

get the noose around your neck.

It will be a pleasure

to hang you.

Hello.

What?

But he couldn't have been killed

in front of Dr. Jekyll's house.

They just brought him in.

I'm telling you, the monster's

here now. He's in my office.

No, he's...

So you caught the monster?

Yes, sir.

Inspector, this should

get me a promotion.

This ought to put you in jail

for the rest of your life.

Masquerading him

as a monster.

Tubby!

Slim, what am I

tied up for?

What's the idea of disguising

yourself as the monster?

Monster? What did I do?

What did you do?

You had me chase you all over

London, and when I get you here...

when I get you here, you bite

four policemen and the Inspector.
