With the tide washing away vital clues and a locked-room-style puzzle unfolding, Wimsey must untangle a complex web of alibis, secrets, and political intrigue.

00:30I am instructed to say, my lord, that in withdrawing the charge against the prisoner, the crown proceeds from a complete conviction of her innocence and offers no evidence against her.
00:39I am very glad to hear it. Prisoner at the bar, the crown, by unreservedly withdrawing this dreadful charge against you, have demonstrated your innocence in the clearest possible way.
00:56And I most heartily congratulate you on this very satisfactory ending to your long ordeal.
01:03Goodbye.
03:03You have been wonderful, the way you've supported me and acted on my behalf.
03:16It was nothing.
03:16You are the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
03:20How else could I behave?
03:22I've had a lover, Peter.
03:23I've been accused of murdering him.
03:25I'm not going to rush into another affair.
03:28Marriage?
03:29Marriage affair.
03:30What's the difference?
03:30It's supposed to be love, isn't it?
03:32I'm sorry.
03:34I'm sorry.
03:34I'm sorry.

10:32I say!
10:36Hello?
10:37Go on.
10:40I say!
10:42Go on!
10:43Could you tell me, is there a telephone up at that farm?
10:44A telephone?
10:45I never heard of one.
10:46Well, is there anyone there who might be able to help me?
10:47I mean, is the farmer there?
10:48There ain't no one there.
10:49It is market day.
10:50Oh, I see.
10:51Well, do you know where the nearest telephone is?
10:52Oh, they might have one at Red Farm.
10:53Where's that?
10:54You go up the road and turn left.
10:55Yes, but how far is that?
10:56Yes, but how far is that?
10:57I don't know.
10:58I don't know.
10:59I don't know.
11:00I don't know.
11:01I don't know.
11:02I don't know.
11:03I don't know.
11:04I don't know.
11:05I don't know.
11:06I don't know.
11:07I don't know.
11:08You go up the road and turn left.
11:10Yes, but how far is that?
11:12It's about three or four miles.
11:13Three or four miles.
11:15But you do know there's a telephone there.
11:21Mr. Coffin, he has a wireless.
11:24Well, I see.
11:26Well, I'll try that.
11:28No, we ain't got no telephone.
11:29Mr. Coffin, don't know.
11:30Oh, I see.
11:31They do have one at the big house.
11:32Ah, where's that?
11:33Just keep going up the lane and you'll come to the park gates.
11:36But they keep them locked, so keep on round by the eye wall and you'll come to the large.
11:53Oh, mine?
11:54I'm not sure there's anyone there now.
11:56Might be up in London.
11:58They got there quite a lot, sometimes for a few days.
12:00Mrs. Coffin, is there anywhere else near here where I can get a telephone?
12:06Oh, darling.
12:07I know they got one there now.
12:09Just go back to the coast road and it's on the way to Wolvercone.
12:26Excuse me.
12:27Could you tell me anywhere where I could find a telephone or a car?
12:37There's a man on the beach with his throat cut.
12:39Say, is he a friend of yours?
12:41No, I don't know him from Adam, but I've got to get to the police before the body gets washed away.
12:45Yeah.
12:46But the tide could be going out.
12:48It could be, but it isn't.
12:50It's coming in.
12:51Afraid I'm rather short-sighted.
12:53Yes, well, thank you anyway.
12:55Did you think he was murdered?
12:58I suppose he might have been.
13:00I'd better come along with you.
13:02I'd expect you'd feel better if I was along.
13:04Yes, thank you.
13:10But a hurry, though.
13:36Hello.
13:37What's your name?
13:38Rosie.
13:39Rosie Pollock.
13:40Well, Rosie, do you know anybody near here who's got a telephone?
13:55Here, Rosie!
13:56You'll come inside this minute!
13:58Excuse me.
13:59Mrs Pollock?
14:00Hey!
14:01You didn't stop them!
14:04They could have given us a lift.
14:07What were you doing?
14:08I've got a blister on my heel.
14:10Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
14:13Because now it looks as though we're going to have to walk all the way to Dali.
14:34Ah!
14:35A camper.
14:36I shouldn't have...
14:37Excuse me.
14:38Are we anywhere near Dali?
14:39Yes.
14:40Ten minutes down the road.
14:41First right and it's half a mile inland.
14:42Oh, thank goodness.
14:43Is there anything the matter?
14:44Well, I've just found a dead body on the beach.
14:45Good lord.
14:46So, I wanted to notify the police.
14:47Naturally.
14:48There was a telephone in Dali.
14:49You couldn't phone the police station in Wolvercombe from there.
14:50Right, thanks.
14:51I can't.
14:52I don't know.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:54You shouldn't know.
14:55Excuse me.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:57I'm sorry.
14:58I shouldn't know.
14:59Excuse me.
15:00Are we anywhere near Dali?
15:01Yes.
15:02Ten minutes down the road.
15:03First right and it's half a mile inland.
15:04Oh, thank goodness.
15:05Sir, I wanted to notify the police.
15:08Naturally.
15:09There was a telephone in Dali.
15:10You couldn't phone the police station in Wolvercombe from there.
15:13Right.
15:14Thanks.
15:15Sorry, I can't help.
15:16Damn thing's broken down.
15:17That's all right.
15:19There's no need to stop and talk to everyone we meet.
15:23Phew.
15:24That fellow was very rude to me this morning when I came through here.
15:27If you ask me, there's something funny about him.
15:29I'm sure he's wearing a wig.
15:31So what if he is?
15:33Poor man's probably bald.
15:35Unless you think that makes him a murderer.
15:38Come on.
15:39We must get to Dali.
16:03Come on.
16:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:32Oh, come on!
16:34Have a tea, most likely.
16:36Number, please.
16:38The police station, Wilbercombe.
16:40Wilbercombe Police Station.
16:42Hold the line, please.
16:48Wilbercombe Police Station.
16:50Oh, I wish to report a body of a man.
16:53My name is Vane, Miss Harriet Vane,
16:56and I'm speaking from the grocers at Darley.
17:00George Earnshaw.
17:02Where was this, Miss?
17:04Well, it was on a rock,
17:06sort of shaped like a shoe tree,
17:08about five miles down the coast.
17:10Is there two big rocks out to sea?
17:12Yes, yes, there are.
17:14Ah, the grinders, they are, Miss. I know the place.
17:16Flat iron rock, we call that.
17:18Now, um, what time did you see the body, Miss?
17:21It was about two o'clock,
17:23but it'll have been washed away by now.
17:25I've been trying to get to a telephone.
17:27Well, if you could hang on there, Miss,
17:28someone will be along directly.
17:29Yes, very well.
17:39Do you think I could make another phone call?
17:41To London?
17:43That'd be an expensive car, Miss.
17:46I'm sure ten shillings will cover it.
17:49Very good, Miss. Help yourself, Miss.
18:05Look, I'd love to do your job, but I've got my own problems, alright?
18:09Yeah. So just stop whining and get on with it.
18:12Come back.
18:17About time.
18:18Quick one to lay the dust.
18:19We can pan in, uh, ten minutes, okay?
18:21Took the words out of my mouth.
18:24Morning Star, news editor.
18:26Crime reporter, please.
18:27Hang on.
18:28Sally!
18:31Who wants him?
18:32Harriet Vane.
18:33Could you speak up, please?
18:35Harriet Vane.
18:36I'm calling from Darley, near Wilmercombe.
18:39Yeah, hang on.
18:41Harriet Vane.
18:42Wasn't she on that murder charge?
18:44Lord Peter Whimsay's friend.
18:45I'll take it.
18:48Salcombe Hardy here, Miss Vane.
18:50Good afternoon, Mr. Hardy.
18:51Good afternoon.
18:52I see you've been reporting the Clarence Hattory case.
18:56Well, it's early stages yet, but just wait.
18:58There'll be some disclosures there, alright.
19:00But, uh, what about you, Miss Vane?
19:02The whole of Fleet Street's wondering what became of you.
19:04I'm on a walking tour of the West Country.
19:07Aha.
19:08Get away from it all, eh?
19:09Partly.
19:11Well, what can we do for you, Miss Vane?
19:13I've got an exclusive for you.
19:15What's the catch?
19:16Oh, come now, Mr. Hardy.
19:18You're too cynical.
19:19It's a cynical business.
19:20What's the catch?
19:22Have you got a pen handy?
19:24Yes, thank you.
19:26Whilst working on the plot of her latest novel,
19:31It's called The Fountain Pen Mystery.
19:34Sir, that's the catch.
19:36Call it a quid pro quo.
19:39Miss Harriet Vane came across the body of a man.
20:01No.
20:02No.
20:03No.
20:04It's called The Fountain Pen Mystery.
20:05No.
20:06No.
20:08Put it in.
20:09It's called The Fountain Pen die.
20:10It's called The Fountain Penina.
20:12No.
20:13Yeah.
20:14No, my friends.
20:15What were you doing?
20:16Like?
20:17No.

27:23But...
27:23I'm sure, madam, monsieur Antoine would be happy to.
27:27No, thank you.
27:28It really doesn't matter.

28:31Oh, yes, please.
28:32Oh, Mr. Blenkinson.
28:34Come on.
28:35I thought we were going to practice that new jersey.
28:37May I come into your parlor?
29:01Peter.
29:04What on earth brings you here?
29:09Famous author finds body on beach.
29:11So, here I am, like a bird that hears the call of its mate.
29:15I didn't call.
29:17I meant the body.
29:18Oh.
29:19But, talking of mates, will you marry me?
29:22Certainly not.
29:25How did you get here so quickly?
29:27Sally Hardy, who is even now waiting for the bar to open, telephoned me last night.
29:31Tell me, my Miss Vane had found a corpse.
29:35And did I know about it?
29:36I don't know how he knew.
29:37I told him.
29:38With all the gaudy details?
29:40Certainly.
29:41Good publicity for my new book.
29:44Does this not, pardon me, indicate a certain accorstening of the fibers?
29:48Absolutely.
29:49At this moment, my fibers resemble coconut matting.
29:53With not even welcome written across them.
29:57I'm off to the police.
29:59Look here, beloved.
30:02Bearing in mind the fact that I, too, am a meddler in mysteries,
30:05couldn't you, as man to man, let me in on the ground floor?
30:08Besides, I could offer you a lift.
30:12Oh, well, if you put it like that.
30:13Yes, I suppose.
30:24Oh, good morning, Miss Vane.
30:25Inspector Trezard.
30:26This is Lord Peter Whimsey, whose interest in crime you may know of.
30:32Oh, well, I never.
30:33Very glad to make your acquaintance, my lord.
30:37Thank you, Percy.
30:38Oh, right, sir.
30:40Of course I know of you.
30:42Excuse me.
30:43You're early on the scene, I must say.
30:50Not that there's much in it for you, my lord.
30:53Plain case of suicide.
30:55It appears so.
30:56Yes.
30:57Oh, I expect you're waiting to see how your snaps have turned out, Miss Vane.
31:00Oh, yes, thank you.
31:01And we've identified the man.
31:08Oh, well done, Inspector.
31:10Yes, well, I didn't think we'd have too much trouble, a foreign-looking gentleman like that.
31:14And was he a foreigner?
31:15Oh, yes.
31:17A Russian or something of the sort.
31:19Paul Alexis Goldschmidt.
31:23But he called himself Paul Alexis.
31:25One of the professional dancers at the hotel where you're staying, Miss Vane.
31:31Good heavens.
31:33Really?
31:37Poor man.
31:40Did he leave a note anywhere?
31:42Well, if he did, we have not found it.
31:46Nor of the body, neither.
31:49It is a bit of a bother, that.
31:51Yes.
31:52No body, no inquest.
31:54Have his carcass.
31:55Or the coroner can't sit on it.
31:58Yes.
31:58Yes, so, my lord.
32:01Just as well Miss Vane took these photographs.
32:03Otherwise, you wouldn't know there was a body.
32:05Quite so.
32:07Coroner can't sit on a photograph, though.
32:11Still, it looks a plain enough case of suicide.
32:14Oh.
32:15Do you think so?
32:17That you?
32:19Well.
32:21Why should a man wear gloves to cut his own throat?
32:24Yes.
32:24I wondered about that.
32:26And what's a man with a full beard doing with a razor, anyway?
32:30Well, he might have had it before he grew the beard.
32:32Or he might have bought it, especially for the purpose.
32:36Yes.
32:39Inspector, I wonder if I might see it.
32:40And if my man, Bunter, could have a look at it, too.
32:43He's a veritable barber shop of information when it comes to razors.
32:50Endicott, my lord.
32:51Yes.
32:52Endicott?
32:53Endicott?
32:53He is, or was, since he's now retired, one of the most exclusive gentlemen's hairdressers
32:59in the West End.
33:00So exclusive that one had to have had one's name for 300 years in DeBret in order to secure
33:04so much as short-batten sides.
33:05And he preferred, to the end, to be known by the old-fashioned description of barber.
33:12Very slight crack in the handle, my lord.
33:15Yes.
33:17Owned, my dear Sherlock, as you will no doubt have deduced, by a middle-aged man of short
33:22temper and careless habits with a stiff beard and expensive tastes.
33:26Absolutely.
33:26My view entirely.
33:30You will have your little joke, my lordy.
33:32Oh, would you care to see the other exhibits?
33:38Oh, very good of you, Inspector.
33:47Cranial capacity on the small side.
33:51Brilliant in ordinary stinking variety.
33:54Last year's hat re-blocked with a new ribbon.
33:58Style a little more emphatic than is quite necessary.
34:02Deduction, not wealthy, but keen on his personal appearance.
34:07Ah.
34:09The cigarette case is puck all right.
34:11Fifteen-cadot gold, plain fairly new monogram, P.A.
34:14Probably a gift from a wealthy female admirer.
34:17Oh, wait, uh, isn't Mr. Alexis here tonight?
34:27I believe not, madam.
34:29Why not?
34:30Is he ill?
34:31Uh, I don't think so, madam.
34:33I'm sure, madam, Monsieur Antoine would be happy to.
34:37No, thank you.
34:39It really doesn't matter.
34:41Handkerchief, silk, and an unfortunate color.
34:46It did match his socks.
34:48Yes.
34:48I dare say it would.
34:51Laundry mark?
34:52Uh, Wilvercombe's sonnetry steam laundry, my lord.
34:54All correct.
34:55Well done, constable.
34:56Thanks.
34:58Glove.
35:00Mass-produced chamois leather.
35:01You took this off his hand.
35:04Yes, soaked with blood.
35:07Soaked, not dried.
35:09No, no.
35:10That was, that was what was so awful.
35:11It was still dripping.
35:14Hmm.
35:17Shoe.
35:19Thinsel, fairly new.
35:22Foul color.
35:23Worse shape.
35:27Handmade, my lord.
35:28Yes.
35:29So horrid appearance is due to malice a forethought.
35:31Made to measure for Mr. Alexis and Wilvercombe, my lord.
35:34I checked this morning.
35:36Quick work, constable.
35:37You're obviously destined for greatness.
35:40Slight traces of salt water on the sow.
35:43None on the uppers.
35:45So, inference.
35:48Walked across the wet sand, but didn't actually wade in the water.
35:51I tried it in the footprints.
35:52It fitted exactly.
35:54And according to Miss Vane's photographs, my lord,
35:56there were only one set of footprints out of the rock.
36:00So it had to be suicide.
36:02Unless the murderer came from the sea.
36:04Which, as you are about to observe, inspector, is absurd.
36:07I would love to savour the wonders of Wilbercombe with you,
36:12but Bunter and I must leave instantly for Epsom.
36:15Epsom?
36:16Where Mr. Endicott lives in virtuous retirement
36:18to pursue the matter of the razor.
36:20And the middle-aged man of short temper and careless habits
36:23with a stiff beard and expensive tastes.
36:26What a wonderful memory you have.
36:29I grant you that the razor is important.
36:31But, why do you still think it wasn't suicide?
36:36Maybe the two go together.
36:37One of the many things I love about you, Harriet,
36:39is your recipients.
36:41Bunter, would Mr. Endicott have sold one of his handmade razors
36:45to a gigolo called Paul Alexis?
36:47Certainly not to a gentleman who wore that hat and those shoes.
36:51And whose handkerchief most unfortunately matched his socks.
36:54Mr. Endicott sold his handmade razors exclusively to his own clients.
36:58And highly favoured ones at that.
36:59Moreover, each one has a serial number.
37:03So until you find out how that razor got into the hands of Paul Alexis...
37:06I won't be satisfied to call it suicide.
37:08Still, I'm sorry, oh best beloved, to turn myself away from you.
37:13Not at all.
37:14I was going to say, I've got plenty of work to do.
37:17Of course.
37:18The fountain pen mystery.
37:20Don't forget our murder.
37:21If it was murder.
37:23Oh, you might try a turn round the dance floor
37:26with the other dancing partners.
37:27See if you don't get any gossip about Paul Alexis.
37:30Very well, but I shall have to get a better evening frock.
37:32Get a wine-coloured one.
37:33I've always longed to see you in wine colour.
37:35Bunter.
37:40Peter!
37:44Yes?
37:45Port or burgundy?
37:46What?
37:48The frock.
37:49Oh, Claret.
37:50Chateau Margot 93.
37:51Or thereabouts.
37:52I'm not particular within a year or two.
37:55I should like to know if anything has happened.
37:58I'm afraid I don't know any more than...
38:00That lady, Miss Vane.
38:02She arrived here with the police.
38:03Miss Vane!
38:03She might be...
38:04I do apologise for bothering you.
38:07Yes, can I help you?
38:08My name is Flora Weldon.
38:10The receptionist said you know the police here.
38:13Well, not exactly, no, but why...
38:15A very dear friend, Mr. Paul Alexis.
38:18He's one of the professional dancers here.
38:20Shall we go into the lounge?
38:23Oh, yes.
38:25It's about Mr. Alexis.
38:28You see, I haven't seen him since the evening before last,
38:31and that's most unusual because...
38:33Would you like to sit down and tell me everything you know?
38:37The chambermaid said that there were dreadful rumours
38:40about something having happened to Paul, to Mr. Alexis,
38:45but nobody will actually tell me anything.
38:48Please, Miss Vane, tell me what's going on.
38:50Well, Mrs. Weldon, I'm afraid something rather beastly has happened.
38:55Yesterday, I was down by the seashore,
38:57and I came across a man lying there, dead.
38:59And it seems it was Paul Alexis.
39:05Oh, no.
39:11I know he wasn't strong.
39:15Was it a heart attack?
39:18No, I'm afraid not.
39:19What then?
39:21Mrs. Weldon...
39:22Please tell me.
39:23His throat was cut.
39:26Oh, God.
39:28Oh, God!
39:29Get me a double brandy, please, quickly.
39:45I'm so sorry.
39:50I must look dreadful.
39:53Not that it matters now with Paul.
39:55I'm afraid you must think I'm very silly.
40:01No, not at all.
40:02If Paul Alexis was a friend of yours...
40:04He was a very dear friend.
40:08He was much more than that.
40:11Would you like a cigarette?
40:13Oh, yes, please.
40:14Please.
40:14Please.
40:14Please.
40:14Please.
40:14Please.
40:15Please.
40:16Please.
40:16Please.
40:17Please.
40:18Please.

40:21Please.
40:22Please.
40:23Please.
40:25Please.
40:27Please.
40:27was so handsome and graceful. of course all the women ran after him but he was
40:39lonely just as I was. the first night I was here he he came over and asked me to
40:47dance and it seemed as if we were we were drawn together. it was as though the
40:57moment our eyes met we we knew we were meant for each other
41:05we danced together every night
41:27we had to be careful you see people say such horrid things and I was a little bit
41:44older than he was. I used to worry about it but Paul used to say my Flora it is the heart
41:53that counts and your heart is just 17. it was beautiful of him but quite
42:01true I felt 17 when I was with him. of course I was married scandalously young you
42:11might not think I'm old enough my dear but I do have a grown-up son but Henry has
42:18been a great disappointment to me. he has no heart and that seems so strange
42:24because I'm all heart. if only he'd been kinder to me after my husband died but it
42:34seemed that all Henry was interested in was was the money and of course all that
42:39was was left to me. oh really? my marriage wasn't happy but it wasn't my husband's fault
42:49he just was not very sensitive and after he died and I was I was left alone
43:00well one can't be blamed for wanting to snatch a little happiness can one? no no absolutely not
43:09oh you're so kind my dear and so clever I know you write detective books
43:16oh please miss Bain please tell me who they think murdered Paul
43:23well I'm afraid mrs. well I'm afraid they think it was suicide
43:30oh no no that's impossible I know it is. oh mrs. Weldon I found the body. no no no
43:39he would never have killed himself when he was so happy
43:45you see miss Bain
43:49we were going to be married
43:50there's the place my lord
44:03there's the place my lord

44:28I almost feel we should synchronize our watches before going up the drive
44:40or over the top m'lord
44:43bunter
44:45how do you suppose a retired colonel's razor came to cut the throat of a professional dancing partner
44:51yes an intriguing question m'lord
44:55and one requiring a certain delicacy of approach
45:00well all I can say is damn it is a damned ungentlemanly business going and asking a
45:03fellow's barber questions behind his back
45:06and as for being mixed up in the death of some dago you ought to be ashamed of yourself
45:09for interfering with the police that's their business

45:17well I dare say oh my god he's taking up golf or beating spandals
