Gentlemen, I have the honor
of the Vienna institute
of electric research.
Good morning, Professor!
Professor Bauman
is the inventor
burglar alarm system,
which we have
just installed.
We are going to make
some tests,
signals which you may hear.
- Thank you, Professor.
- You must know, gentlemen...
- Please.
...that our
burglar-proof system
is the most perfect
and unusual
that has yet been designed
by modern science.
Now, in here,
this little bulb --
- where?
- Where?
- Here. - Oh!
- Oh!
You see?
This little bulb
flashes an electric ray
through this tube,
right into a mirror,
which is hidden here.
- How interesting.
- Back there?
From here, it is reflected
into a second mirror,
which is placed
over there.
There is nothing
to reveal its presence
even to the most skillful
professional burglar
because the electric ray
is invisible to the naked eye.
Uh, just a moment,
sir.
I do not wish
to be disturbed.
Anyone attempting to cross
the police siren
would sound,
and the invisible
flash light
would illuminate
the entire store
with a flood
of piercing light.
I'm sorry, but this is
very important, sir!
- It can wait.
- It can't wait!
I'm terribly sorry,
Professor. Go ahead.
even approach your vault,
Phenomenal! Splendid!
Ah, yes, let us extinguish
the lights,
and I will demonstrate
the system.
- But it's too late!
- What's too late?
The store
has just been robbed!
Ohh!
Madame is awake.
Hurry. Hurry.
Come! Come!
Hurry! Hurry!
Come on. Go on.
Whoop! Whoop!
Ooh, Dee Dee Dee
Dee Dee
Dee, boo
Ohh! My soap!
Yoo-hoo!
Why, hello, Teri.
Good morning, Marianne.
Morning?
Afternoon is more like it.
What's the latest news?
Another one of those
sensational jewel robberies.
- Not Hollanders?
- No -- Straussberger's.
"The fashionable
Straussberger's jewelry shop
"in Ringstrasse
was the scene this morning
"of the latest
jewel robbery.
"The thief, described
as a distinguished young man
"of fashionable appearance,
"works with a Polish
absolutely foreign
to usual
underworld methods."
Oh, my dear, don't give me
a shock like that again.
What is it, Teri?
Just as I had my finger
beautifully prepared
for the excelsior diamond,
I had visions
by a band of criminals.
- The excelsior?
- Diamond --
the one that you and I went
into such raptures about.
- Oh, my dear!
He's meeting me
at Hollanders at 5:00.
I want you
to come along.
- The famous excelsior diamond!
- Yes!
Imagine having a husband
like yours,
who would gladly spend a fortune
just to make you happy.
You are a lucky girl,
Teri.
- Don't you think so?
- I did think so.
For a month, marriage
was thrilling and exciting.
- Then it became dull.
- What?
Unbearably dull.
Good gracious!
Married to 8 millions?
Aged 55,
with chronic gout.
- Please.
- Turn over.
No, thank you.
But for your lovers,
you may have your choice --
cabinet ministers, diplomats,
men of affairs.
When a man achieves
the distinction
of a red sash
across his shirtfront,
his chest, my dear, is the most
important part of his anatomy.
But the young attachs
of the diplomatic corps,
are all thinking
too much of their future
to risk making love to the wife
of a man of Franz's importance.
Oh, for a knight who will
come riding in full armor,
sweep me into his arms,
and carry me away!
into my eyes
and whisper passionately
that they were green,
like priceless emeralds
his life to possess.
But they are
not green.
They are blue.
Not emeralds. Sapphires.
Sapphires --
my first love.
- And your latest?
- Diamonds. White, pure, cold.
Virginal. And men?
I haven't found one
to supplant my jewels.
But Andre will be here
at any moment
to take it
to Hollanders.
Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.
Hurry, please.
The more haste,
the less speed, madame.
May I clear out
the window, Mr. Hollander?
Is it so late?
Almost closing time.
- But so light out.
- The long summer days.
The baroness
will soon be here
to take number 239.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Mr. Hollander?
Yes?
I have the honor
night watchman
Johan Christian Lenz
of the Vienna
protective agency.
I've never
seen you before.
That is why I'm presenting
my credentials.
I have been guarding
the national bank.
Hmm. That's not such
a fine recommendation.
My contract said I was
to watch out for burglars,
not directors.
Lenz is nobody's fool.
Mr. Hollander...
I don't like that aspersion
on my ability.
I am one of the agency's
best men.
So?
That is why I was sent here
to Ringstrasse.
There's been
too many robberies lately.
We must put a stop to it.
Good, good.
now that you are here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The window is ready
to be locked.
The door can wait.
I'll be here until 7:00 tonight,
on a special appointment.
Don't worry. I shall look in
every half-hour.
When Lenz guards a place,
the owners
can sleep peacefully.
So long.
I say thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Ah, the great
baroness Horhenfels.
- I beg your pardon.
- And madame horn.
Good evening.
Good evening,
count Andre.
- Leopold, three, please.
- Yes, sir.
W-we've been expecting you,
baroness.
And how is the baron?
Oh, he's quite well,
thank you.
I only hope he doesn't keep us
waiting too long.
Oh, look -- all of the dear,
little jewels
going virtuously to bed
for papa.
Their papa prefers them
less virtuous.
There's no profit
in sleeping at home.
I must remember that.
Oh, come, madame.
Come.
- Mr. Hollander?
- Yes?
Oh!
Thank you, Leopold.
You may go. I'll lock up.
Thank you, sir.
Good night, baroness, madame,
your excellency.
Marianne,
I can hardly wait.
Oh, Teri,
compose yourself.
- The ring appears.
There should be music.
Ah!
The famous
excelsior diamond.
Oh, it's ducky,
isn't it?
It's too beautiful.
The new setting
pleases you?
What perfection!
Such brilliancy,
such depth.
There's something
of the infinite in it.
if you'd only let me see it.
- There!
- I'm not going to steal it from you.
Just look at it.
Please, please,
please, please.
28 carats.
Really, Teri,
you must tell me your secret.
4 carats is the best
I've been able to do,
and that had
a flaw in it.
What wouldn't a woman do
for such a treasure?
Oh, anything. I'd deceive
my husband, with pleasure.
much more than that.
She would tolerate her husband.
One? A dozen.
Oh, take it away quickly,
or I'll swallow it!
- Oh, Mr. Hollander?
- Yes, madame?
What is the price now?
- $50,000.
- Oh, $50,000.
Do you know
