...get damaged
You are incorrigible
Of course I am, I'm incorrigible
Go on my dear, talk to me
Is it okay for the secretary to pass
judgement for his boss?
Mr. Fleming never makes a move
without me, in fact he lets me take...
...his girls out to dinner in order
to talk things over
Lemonade please
Are you American?
Mr. Fleming loves them, they have an
innocent way to put a man defensive
Oh Robert you are...!
Impossible. What were you saying?
Would it be against Mr. Fleming
policy to tell one of the girls when...
...the next audition is, please?
Tomorrow at 9. Will you make it?
I think so
I guaranty you'll see Mr. Fleming
Happy?
Very happy
Why don't you smile?
I'm smiling. Any more
instructions?
Lucy Barnard feared eight victim of
'Poet killer'
Operator? Hello? Hello?
Hello Julian
They just gave me the drawings
I feel like Napoleon
after Waterloo
More like Romeo after
Juliet closed the window
Is the first time they hung up on me
in years
Take a look, now we'll have the
finest Night Club in London
The entrance is large as well as
the dance area
I think the entrance is too long,
we better take 6 feet off
A big entrance gives a
better impression...
Always keep the entrances crowded
Julian
Splendid. There is no manager in
London at your level
There is no partner like you in the
world to keep everything in order
You're appreciation is in order.
I just control the accounts
It's not that easy. You've to be a
magician to get profit with my ideas
Let's take a look at the pretty
girls in their dancing shoes
Go ahead girls!
Are you coming Julian?
The eighth victim of the poet
killer. Horrible!
Have you read this?
You're too sentimental
I'm sure she met a...
...professional that promised her
the riches of the Orient
You don't understand women
And, is that the last time you saw
Lucy Barnard?
Yes, the night she said she was
going away with some man
Her landlady told us she left all
her clothes and everything she owned
It wasn't much
The man she left with,
Did you know him?
No. All I know is that she met him
through the personal column,
And don't you remember what
the add said?
Yes, I have it right here
It was on her dressing table
Refined gentleman means friendship
with attractive young girl
Enclose photograph, intention
marriage BOX 477
Tell me Miss. Carpenter
What kind of a girl was...
...Miss. Barnard?
Just a nice kid. Not too smart
but not too dumb. The kind of girl...
...that falls over a smooth line
She believed no harm could get her...
...because she wore good luck charms
Some silly little white elephants
Did you say elephants?
Around her wrist on a bracelet?
How did you know?
A girl by the name Arlette
disappeared about a year ago
Disappeared?
Yes, a few days before she
disappeared we received this poem
'Smile your last sweet fragile smile
Arlette, but when the roses fade...
...the north wind whispers
are you ready yet?'
This one we received last December
'Move quickly to rendezvous...
...my loving Louis. But,
what if the gate is locked?
Your lover has the key'
The very next day her parents notified...
...notified us that she had
disappeared that night
Nobody knew anything else about her
Last week we...
...received this
'Elephants encircle her... '
Elephants!
I'm afraid you'll never see your
friend again
Thank you Gordons
Miss Carpenter
Would you like to help us?
There's nothing I wouldn't have done
How long have you been working
in that Club?
3 months
What did you do before?
I came from New York to do a show
Before the fourth night I was broke
Stand up
Would you mind raising your skirt?
Higher
How is that?
Very nice, my compliments
I'm sorry but I had to
I don't get it
You will. Can you cook?
Kind of
Shorthand, type writing?
Enough to make me realize that I
better stick to Show Business
Do you do house work?
No, if I can help it
Could you dress a wound?
A bullet wound perhaps? Well, I
don't faint easily
Close your eyes
Now it comes
How large is this office?
About 12 by 16
Where is the coat rack?
Between the door and the window
What colour are the walls?
Dirty beige
We don't spend the tax payer money
in laundry
Describe me frankly, please
Well, you're kind of greyish, heavy
set, 6 feet tall, and you probably
have stomach trouble
You have a ring on your left little...
finger, a watch chain with
a gold pendant
And you try to be hard but you're
really a softy
Satisfied?
Quite. Very impressing
Did I get the job?
So, you know what I've been
aiming at
A female detective? Isn't that what
you're been testing me for?
Exactly. Our police woman are
very clever but the poet...
...we're looking for only goes after
young beautiful girls
I'm to be the bait
In our trap. The criminal will follow
you and we'll snap a shot.
You'll answer every add in the
personal column for young girls
We'll write your replies but you'll
keep the appointments
Miss Carpenter there will be danger,
great danger. Are you afraid?
No, not yet
You'll be well guided but if you
rather not
I'll help, of course
Thank you Miss Carpenter
What about this one?
One of the force's ladies is
assigned to that, sir
Did you answer this one?
I hand wrote it in
personal stationary
These are for you. Check them in
pencil. Report me regularly
Yes, sir. What if I get in a
jam, sir?
We have a man responsible for you
but don't try to identify him
This is in case you need
more support
I hope I don't shoot myself
You won't, you're on the force now
Yes sir
Good luck Sandra
Thank you sir
Nice girl
'Are you young, chic shapely and no
prude? Easy money. Room 308'
Sorry Miss but the position has
been, adequately filled
More than adequately if
you asked me
Precisely. Good day Miss

Don't tell me you want a soul mate?
