Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953) Movie Script
And whose pocket are
you picking? I'm sorry.
I thought maybe the monster
had struck again.
It would be an easy thing for him
to do with me sleeping in the park.
The monster murders
time and again...
and never a trace of him
have they found.
I know. They don't know
whether he's a man or an animal.
Might even be a woman.
It's possible, you know.
Of course I know. My
wife's a monster to me.
She's joined them
suffragettes.
Do you believe in women voting?
No, I can't say that I do.
Ladies, gentlemen.
Listen to the story
of the neglected, abused...
and unappreciated women
of today.
You got bats
in your belfry.
Hire a hall. Why don't you join the Army?
Yeah, if you want to vote like
men, why don't you fight like men?
I'll show you rabble
that women can fight!
Go home and fight
your old man.
Come closer, everyone. Listen to
the story of downtrodden women.
Equal rights
for the women
We're practically brimmin' over
with our fight to get the vote
Equal rights for the women
no herin' and himin'
Not until we women
get the vote
You seem to think
we're silly geese
Willy-nilly-silly geese
Do you want war?
Do you want peace?
Listen, dearie,
here's the ultimatum
No more hugs,
no more kisses
The mister will miss his kisses
till we women get the vote
No more winks,
no more flirtin'
No matter how hard it's hurtin'
till we women get the vote
You great big men
out-muscle us
But you can't
out-tussle us
Our defenses will tighten
we'll keep right on fightin'
For equal rights
For the women
equal rights
Now, will all of you be kind
enough to sign our petitions...
and help us
get the right to vote?
Who'll be the first to sign?
How about you, sir?
Will you sign?
Right on the dotted line.

Thank you. We'll mail you
all our literature.
Which address do you prefer?
Yours.
Otherwise, how can I mail you what I
write about your suffragette movement?
Are you sure it's the cause
you're interested in?
Naturally. 'Course I must admit that
an interview in a little quieter spot...
might make things
clearer for me.
You and your yowling females, go
back to the kitchen where you belong.
Wait a minute, fellow, you
can't talk to a lady like that.
Try and shut me up.
Stop this fighting!
Go on, hold your jaw.
Hold your own jaw!
Come on, men, let's send
them back to the kitchen.
Come on, ladies!
Stop this fight!
Hey!
Stop this fight,
there's ladies present!
Stop this fighting,
I tell you. Stop this...
Now, listen, lady, that
wasn't cricket. And I don't...
I'll have no more
of this clowning around now.
I'm getting sick...
Slim.
Slim!
Stop this fight!
Look out, here come
some more bobbies!
Tubby!
Tubby!
Now just a minute. You're under
arrest for resisting an officer.
I'm under arrest?
Yeah.
Hey!
Why you...
We are not criminals. I demand
that you release us at once.
She demands
that we release her.
Who is going to release us?
You're bailed out, everybody. Thank you.
You, too.
And someday, women will be able to
take their rightful place in business...
the sciences,
and the professions.
Now is there anything
I haven't told you? Yes.
Are you married?
Hey, miss, you're bailed out.
I wonder who put up the money.
I don't know.
But whoever it was,
I hate him.
I was beginning to enjoy
it in here. I'm sorry.
You, too.
Not you, or you.
Thank you.
Vicky.
What about us?
That's a good question.
I think I asked him a silly
question. And you got a silly answer.
Vicky.
Henry.
It was you
who put up the bond.
I couldn't allow my favorite ward
and her friends to languish in prison.
Not being a member of the suffragettes,
I think I ought to pay my share.
That's not necessary.
Why you had the money all the time.
You could've gotten out yourself.
And miss all the fun
of being with you?
I don't think I've met your
friend, Vicky. I'm sorry.
This is Bruce Adams,
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
How do you do?
Bruce works
on the Daily Reporter.
I think I've talked him into
writing a very good story...
about our
suffragette movement.
That should be most interesting
reading. Good day, sir.
I've no more appointments
today, Vicky.
I thought we could
take a drive and have dinner.
I'm sorry. I can't, Henry.
We're having an early show
at the Music Hall tonight.
Oh, dear. Well, at least there'll
be time for a short drive.
My coachman can drop me at the house
and then take you on to the Music Hall.
That would be nice.
Dr. Jekyll, you wouldn't be
going toward the West End?
As a matter of fact, I was... Then
you won't mind dropping me off.
Thank you.
I hope I'm not crowding you.
Not at all.
It's very comfortable.
Home, Watkins.
Yes, sir.
Giddap.
This is what I get for putting
two Americans on the force...
so they can learn
our police methods.
Bring them in.
Yes, sir.
You're finished, Tubby, through.
You've perpetrated your last farce.
You're a disgrace to the
department. You're right, Inspector.
We can't have men like him
on our police force, can we?
Attention!
You can say, since it's the woman who
makes the home, raises the family...
and is the nursemaid, housemaid,
and general handyman...
she should be entitled
to equal rights.
Do you conduct the
Woman's Page in your paper?
No, sir. But this story
has an attraction for me.
I report crime news, such as
the murder early this morning.
Murder? How dreadful.
I must get a copy
of your paper.
Well, the victim was a colleague
of yours, I believe, a Dr. Poole?
Poole? I don't think
I know him.
Isn't that the man Dr. Lanson
brought to the house one evening?
Darling, Lanson's always
bringing somebody to the house.
He has to have somebody to bolster
up his arguments against my theories.
Dr. Jekyll, as one of our most
prominent medical research scientists...
can you explain why men commit
acts of violence, such as murder?
That's one of the theories Henry
and Dr. Lanson don't agree on.
Lanson agrees with me,
all right.
But unlike me, he's
afraid of public opinion.
On the other hand,
I'm convinced...
someday, scientists
will probe the mind of man.
Then you believe these acts of
violence stem from a disordered brain?
I believe that every human being
has two sides to his nature...
the good and the evil.
When the evil predominates, it brings
out the animal instinct in man...
the desire to get what you want,
even if you have to kill to get it.
Of course, some people are born with that
animal instinct under complete control.
But, it's the less fortunate
that I want to help.
If I can find some way
to curb that instinct...
to tame it, so that it's
always under control...
then perhaps we can eliminate
bloodshed, violence, even war...
and have peace on earth
and goodwill towards men.
I see.
Have you experimented?
No, of course not.
It's only a theory
as yet...
and I have no desire
to see it in print so far.
Well, I'm home.
Watkins, you will take Miss
Edwards to the Jubilee Music Hall.
Very good, sir.
If it's all right with you, Doctor, I'll
just ride back to the Music Hall with Vicky.
If you don't mind.
Not at all.
But I understood you had a friend in
this neighborhood you wanted to see?
Well, I doubt if he'd
be home at this hour...
but I happen to have another friend
who lives near the Music Hall.
I see.
Well, after you've called on him,
I'm sure Watkins will be delighted...
to drive you all over London
to see the rest of your friends.
Good day, sir.
Giddap.
Batley!
Batley!
You didn't give the
injection. I told you to.
Yes, I know.
When I told him about my research,
he laughed at me. I had to.
No, I didn't kill him.
Mr. Hyde did.
Dr. Jekyll is a cultivated gentleman,
bound by convention, by tradition...
who, through a metamorphosis,
becomes Hyde...
a creature devoid of all good,
the embodiment of all that's evil.
I must make no more experiments
until I find the proper balance.
Either the effect of the serum
takes too long to wear off...
or it isn't long enough.
It's too dangerous.
No, I must do it again.
I've waited all these years
for her, and...
now, that newspaperman...
I hate him. I hate him.
Mr. Hyde will kill him.
Mr. Hyde will kill him.
The judge
he called me names
I said, "Drive on, James"
Jail's been home
some 47 times
Excuse me,
while I make my change.
You kissed me.
What's wrong with that?
I told you, I believe
in equal rights.
Do you think your guardian
will approve of this?
Of course.
Henry's taken care of me
ever since my father died.
He's been wonderful to me.
Anything that makes me happy
pleases him, too.
Anything that pleases you
pleases me, too.
Now, the only way we can get
back on the police force...
is to capture the monster.
Look, Slim.
What?
If all of Scotland Yard
can't catch him, how can we?
Now look here, we're apt to
find him in any dark doorway.
Hello.
You got a match, governor?
Give him a match.
Here.
Get the kisser on that guy.
Don't get excited.
Hey, look!
There's a burglar.
Come on, let's catch him.
You can catch a burglar any
night, let's get the monster.
No, let's get that burglar, and we'll
get back on the police force. Let's go!
What do you fellows want?
We're the new dance team.
Show him, Tubby.
I'll see you
in the dressing room...
as soon as
I finish the number.
All right.
Why don't you watch it
from out front?
I'd rather watch
from backstage.
Girls.
Girls?
Now listen, we're not looking for
girls. We're looking for a burglar.
Check the rest of these
rooms. I'll check backstage.
There's nobody in here.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir.
Slim! Slim! Slim!
Slim! Slim!
What's the matter?
The monster's inside.
The monster?
The monster's inside.
Go on inside. I'll hold the
door and keep him from escaping.
Hey, you.
Did you see a big, gruesome-looking
monster come through here?
A big guy, he had the teeth
right down to here.
Do you mean this?
That's the guy.
Slim.
There he is.
Did you take him
for the monster?
Excuse my friend,
he's a little excited.
Excited? He's balmy.
I shall call the manager.
Now listen, that burglar's
around here somewhere.
Get some clues. I know
where to look for clues.
Where do you look for clues?
In the clues closet.
In the clues closet.
Your hat's dirty. All right,
now look for the burglar.
I must be seeing things.
Slim. Slim.
Slim.
Pardon me just a minute.
What's the matter? Come on.
I got the real monster inside.
What do you mean?
He's got big eyes, big teeth,
and a lot of hair on his arms.
Possibly
one of the other actors.
No, this is the monster.
He's not acting.
You sure?
Positive.
You hold that door, and I'll
go get a club. All right. Hurry.
Come on, open that door.
Come here. That's where
he was, right there.
I know he's around here.
He's hiding here someplace.
Stand back, Slim.
Hey, Slim.
I got him, Slim. I got...
Slim.
What happened?
I thought
you was the monster.
Where is the monster?
I don't know. He's not here.
I think he's in the next room.
In there?
Yeah.
Here, I'll go and chase him out. Yeah?
Stand here, and as soon as he
comes through here, clonk him.
I'll belt him, Slim.
Wait a minute.
I'll belt him like I belted
you, my pal. Stand over here.
I beg your pardon, have you
seen a monster around here?
I see. You can't talk
with that heavy mask on.
Well, here, I'll help you
take it off.
You see, we're looking
for him for a purpose.
Now there's a reason
for...
Slim!
Slim!
What happened?
What happened?
A terrible creature
knocked us down.
It's the monster,
and I seen him.
He escaped
through the skylight.
What a story!
Let's grab him, boys.
No, you don't. Come on up the
steps. Come on, hurry up here.
There he is.
Help!
Slim!
Tubby, this is no time
to hang out laundry.
Slim!
Now hurry up before the monster gets away.
The monster, come on!
The monster! The monster?
No, you don't. Come on.
He must be around here someplace.
Maybe he's gone, I hope.
Let's split up, and we'll
each look for him. All right.
Slim, you go that way.
Good.
I'll go this way.
Tubby, do you know which way to go? Home?
No, you stay here
and look for him.
And if you find him, holler.
If I find him, I won't be
able to holler. I'm scared.
Oh, oh.
Maybe I could get down through this
here way and then get onto the street.
Slim. Slim.
Hey, Slim.
Slim.
Slim!
Hey, the monster's loose.
The monster's loose. Come on.
Come on! Come on, will you?
We can catch the monster.
Give me your hand.
Slim!
I wonder where the monster
could have disappeared to.
I wonder where Tubby
could've disappeared to.
Well, I'm going to check
with the Inspector.
You go ahead.
I'm going to search for Tubby.
Slim!
Come on, will you?
Slim!
Hey, Slim!
Tubby?
Slim.
Tubby, where are you?
Over here.
Where?
Slim, get me out.
Tubby, what're you
doing in there?
What's the matter?
Hey, listen.
Slim.
What?
The monster's here.
The monster!
Not so loud. He's here. I'll
go out and get the Inspector.
What am I gonna do?
You wait right here.
I'll go with you.
No, you don't.
Listen, look around for a
piece of rope and tie him up.
Go ahead.
Hey, Slim, I got him.
Why, you bad boy. Come on.
Hey, Slim.
Come on, I got the monster.
I got the monster. I got him.
I got him in a cage.
I got him.
Hey, Slim, I got him.
Say, Inspector,
I caught the monster.
I caught him. Hey, Slim.
What?
I caught the monster.
I don't believe it.
Come on, I'll show him to you.
Come on, Inspector, I'll show you.
Come on, I want to
show you the monster.
Dr. Jekyll!
Dr. Jekyll?
Dr. Jekyll! What'd you
do? Leave the monster out?
How did this happen?
I was passing the museum
on my way home.
The door was open, I heard a noise,
so I just came in to investigate...
and this moron pushed me
into this cage.
I saw...
You saw one of our most
respected citizens...
and you deliberately
pushed him into a cage.
No, Inspector.
Look, he's the monster.
Let him show you the ring.
Tell him to show you the ring.
Go ahead. Let's see the
ring. I wear no rings.
You wish to prefer charges? No,
that's not necessary, Inspector.
I think he suffers
from hallucinations.
Perhaps he and I should
have a little talk someday.
I might be able to help him.
Dr. Jekyll, I thought
I had a pretty good story...
but since your name is
involved, I'll just forget it.
Thank you.
Good night, sir.
Good night, Inspector.
Can I drop you off
at your home, Doctor?
Thank you, no, Inspector.
I'm going to walk.
You're the one that ought to be
behind the bars, not Dr. Jekyll.
Good night.
Good night.
Monsters! Rings!
Good night!
One moment, please.
Gentlemen, I'm a very nervous
man, and all these stories...
in the newspaper about a
monster running around town...
have disturbed me greatly.
Not me. I'd like to get
my hands on that monster.
You would?
Sure.
You're a very brave man.
I must confess, if I came face
to face with the monster...
I don't know
what would happen.
I wonder if you'd be kind enough
to walk with me as far as my house?
Sure.
I'd be very much obliged.
Come on, Tubby.
No.
Come on. It's not every day
you get a chance to walk home...
with a great man
like Mr. Jekyll.
No. You...
As for you, you dummy,
good night.
I can't tell how much I appreciate
your coming with me, gentlemen.
I understand
from the Inspector...
you were both members
of the police force.
How true.
But after what's happened, I
don't think we'll ever get back on.
Well, I think perhaps...
I can make the Inspector
listen to reason.
In the meantime, I'd feel much
safer if you'd stay here tonight.
I'd gladly pay you
for your time. Say L5?
L5? I should say we will.
Won't we...
Tubby, don't get nosy.
We'll stay. Where do we sleep?
This way, gentlemen. I'll show you.
Tubby!
Come on,
we're gonna make L5.
Hey, Slim.
Yeah?
I gotta go home.
I forgot something.
What did you forget?
I forgot to stay there.
No, you don't. Come on.
There you are, gentlemen.
I hope you'll be comfortable.
You've got nothing
to worry about.
You've got the law in
the house now. Thank you.
L5 just to sleep here.
Not bad, Tubby?
Yes. If we're alive in the
morning and able to spend it.
Now look, you can't make
two persons out of one.
If there's a monster,
there's a monster.
If there's a Dr. Jekyll,
there's a Dr. Jekyll.
But one can't be the other.
Now listen, Slim. All I know is
that I locked up the monster...
and when I came back,
Dr. Jekyll was there.
You know, I'm no magician.
You're having hallucinations.
I'm having what?
You're having hallucinations.
I don't know what I'm having,
but I'm gonna tell you this...
either Dr. Jekyll is the monster,
or the monster is Dr. Jekyll.
Hey, you've got
something there, you...
Stop it.
That's the same thing.
I put them in the bedroom
on the second floor.
The fat one saw me.
He saw my ring, too.
You hold it for me.
Perhaps he should
never leave here.
Don't be so impatient, Batley.
He might be interesting
to experiment on.
Now, that newspaperman. I
must find out where he lives.
Good night, Batley.
Keep your eyes open.
Phew!
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
What a cute
little Easter bunny.
Snapped at me.
Now, you stay away from me.
But what seems
to be the matter?
There's someone in this house that
shouldn't be here, and it's me.
What?
Where are you going?
Where am I going?
Go ahead and ask him.
Ask him why he needs you and I
to be a bodyguard for him.
He's got a bodyguard downstairs
who'd like to tear me apart.
Where did this take place?
Where did it take place? Right
behind there. That's a bookcase.
That's a bookcase,
and behind the bookcase...
he's got a laboratory with all kinds
of funny animals down there and things.
Go on, ask him. He won't
tell you, but ask him.
Why shouldn't I? I've a
complete laboratory here.
Of course, I've tried to keep
it hidden from prying eyes.
The research I'm doing
is highly secret.
I'll be glad to show it to
you, if you care to see it.
I've already seen it. The doctor
won't let any harm come to you.
Okay, but I'm not gonna
turn my back on him.
Come on, follow me.
This way, gentlemen.
You gentlemen should feel
highly complimented.
You're the first to see
the inside of my laboratory.
For 15 years, I've been
experimenting with strange drugs.
Drugs that someday
will be of service to mankind.
That rabbit snapped at me.
A rabbit snapped at you?
What your friend says
is quite right.
I've been able to transfer the
characteristics of this dog...
into the brain of that rabbit.
Now this monkey here...
Never mind this monkey.
How about that big ape
that'd like to beat me up?
I know of no such person.
I work here quite alone.
You know...
I think you're seeing things again.
If I was Dr. Jekyll, I'd throw you out.
I wish he would.
Now if you gentlemen
will excuse me.
Slim, there's something funny
about that doctor.
Don't be silly.
If doctors didn't experiment, they'd
never be able to find new cures for you.
As far as that doctor's
concerned, I'm cured.
You were right, Batley. We
must dispose of them right now.
That's funny tasting water.
Come on, let's get out of
here before something happens.
Will you stop complaining?
We're making L5, aren't we?
Well, keep quiet. Now, the doctor
showed you all over the house...
showed you
all of his laboratory here.
Everything's in order,
there's no harm done.
What can happen to you
in a place like this?
He's a legitimate doctor,
he's always...
Tubby? Tubby?
Tubby?
Tubby, come back here.
They've gone!
See that they come back.
Tubby. Tubby!
Tubby, what's the idea
of running out on me?
I don't feel so good.
I don't trust that Dr. Jekyll.
What do you mean?
Any man that can take a dog's
brain and put it into a rabbit's...
he can take a person and change
him into something he ain't.
That's physically impossible.
I've told you that before.
A human being
is a human being...
and you can't make
anything different of him.
Hey, here's a pub. I'm going
to go get me a cold drink.
Hey, Slim?
Now what?
You wouldn't let him change
me into anything, would you?
Certainly not.
Oh, boy.
Now come on, let's get
that cold drink. Okay.
One half-and-half.
Right-o, sir.
What will you have?
Sarsaparilla and some cheese.
Yes, sir.
Is there anything wrong?
Why, no, sir.
Nothing at all, sir. I'll
go and see about that cheese.
Blimey!
What happened to him?
I don't know.
Them mice get bigger
every day.
I may have to
eat with them...
but I don't have to
drink with them.
Hey, what's the idea
of bringing in that mouse?
Go away. You're drunk.
I'm not drunk.
And you take your friend
out of here.
I don't like mice.
Who are you calling a mouse?
It talks!
Hey, Slim.
What?
Those guys must be
seeing things.
Pay no attention to them.
They're drunk.
You know, there's always
a way of...
Hey, Slim, what happened?
Come to.
Come on now. Slim.
Hey, Slim,
you don't look so good.
Tubby.
What I just saw!
Great, big... He was...
He...
Oh, no!
Slim.
Oh, boy!
I...
Hey, Slim, what am I?
A man or a mouse?
A minute ago,
I thought you were a mouse.
I've got it. That stuff that
you drank in the laboratory.
How do you like that Dr. Jekyll?
He turned me into a mouse, the rat!
Let's tell the Inspector.
Let's tell the Inspector.
Which way did he go?
You claim that Dr. Jekyll
is using drugs...
to transform people
into other people?
Yes, sir.
What kind of people?
Mice.
Pardon me, did you say mice?
He means mouse.
Mouse. I took a drink of something,
and I turned into a mouse.
He's right, and I was
right there. I saw it.
Where did this mouse-turning
take place? In a pub.
I see.
You turned into a mouse
in a pub, and you saw it.
Yes, sir.
You were drunk.
You were seeing things.
You expect me to arrest...
one of the most prominent doctors
in London on evidence of that kind?
Get out of here.
Get out and stay out.
Mice.
Mouse.
Get out. Get out!
I can't believe what they've said
about Dr. Jekyll. It's too fantastic.
If it reached the papers,
it would ruin his reputation.
So fantastic, I wouldn't think of
using a story like that without proof.
Look, I saw the monster.
Ain't that proof?
I know Tubby drank something
in the laboratory...
that turned him
into a mouse.
Oh, my dear.
This is a pleasant surprise.
And you brought visitors.
Come in. Come in.
Henry, is it true you've been
experimenting with weird drugs...
that change humans
into animals?
In a hidden laboratory?
Oh, dear!
I suppose these two gentlemen
are responsible for this nonsense.
Now, if you'll be kind enough
to step into the library...
I'll be glad to answer
any questions.
First of all, let me say that if
I used my knowledge of medicine...
to concoct drugs that turned
a human being into a beast...
why, I'd be arrested
for practicing witchcraft.
But you do have
a laboratory?
All my research
is done at the hospital.
I've no laboratory
on the premises.
Yeah? What's that thing back there where
you got all the animals? A dog kennel?
What about the secret place
behind the bookcase?
There's nothing secret about it. I'll
be glad to show you through there.
I don't think
it's necessary, Henry.
I'm sorry, Dr. Jekyll, but I still
have the curiosity of a newspaperman.
Are you sure you're telling
the truth? Sure, I'm sure.
When I say I seen something,
I seen something.
Mr. Adams, if you'll follow me,
I'll be glad to show you through.
Then there'll be no doubt
in your mind.
Follow me.
Follow you!
You always push me in first.
Right down the stairs,
Vicky.
Bruce, now we got him. Wait till
you see what he's got inside there.
This certainly doesn't look
like a laboratory, Henry.
Dr. Jekyll, I'm afraid
I owe you an apology.
That's all right, my boy.
Say no more about it.
Shall we go back
to the library now?
Slim, come here.
Now, we were down here before.
You and I know that there
was a laboratory here.
I know that. He sure made us
look like a couple of dopes.
Listen, if we could find out
where that guy hid the stuff...
then we could prove to Bruce
that we're right.
You've got something there.
Come on.
Hey, Tubby,
lets look around here.
Maybe he hid
some of his drugs here.
Let's take the overcoats off some
of these bottles and find out.
What's that?
Hey, this is the stuff
you drank, Moselle.
This is what turned you
into a mouse.
Come here, sit down.
You're gonna drink some more
of this, turn back into a mouse.
Then we'll prove to Bruce
that the doctor was lying.
Wait a minute. Suppose I drink
this, and I turn into a mouse...
and I don't turn back to the way
I am, to the way I like to be?
Don't worry. I'll bring you
cheese every day. Now drink up.
Anything to prove something.
You feel anything?
No. Maybe I didn't give you enough.
Go ahead, drink up.
Now, do you feel like a mouse?
No, just a little warm
all over.
Dr. Jekyll,
I feel like a fool.
Don't be upset, Bruce. Henry
understands. Of course I understand.
Go ahead, drink it up.
Now are you a mouse?
I'm doing all the drinking,
and you turn into a mouse.
A big mouse,
you're turning into.
I'm gonna have to
take you up to Bruce...
and I'm gonna show him
that we was right.
You changed into a mouse.
We're gonna show him that
the doctor was lying. Come on.
Aren't you going to come
upstairs with me? Come on.
This is a lot of
steps here, mousy.
Tubby, are you all right?
Can I do anything for you?
Yeah, give me
a piece of cheese.
Dr. Jekyll,
as Vicky's guardian...
I was wondering if you'd have
any objections to our marriage?
The question's
hardly necessary, Bruce.
Henry's always given me anything
that would make me happy.
Dr. Jekyll?
She has given you the answer.
There's nothing left for me to say.
Well, preparing for a wedding
is gonna keep me quite busy.
So if you'll excuse me,
I'd better run along.
I'll go with you. You can
drop me off at my flat.
Good day, Henry.
Good day, Dr. Jekyll.
One moment, my dear.
If you're going to be
married soon...
there are many things your
guardian should talk over with you.
Very well. I'll see you this evening, dear.
Good day, Doctor.
Good day.
What did you want to talk
over, Henry? Wedding plans.
What plans do you have
for Bruce and me? None.
You can't marry him,
you belong to me.
I've loved you ever since you were a child.
Every plan I ever made, I made for you.
Vicky, we could be happy together.
I can do everything for you.
We'll leave for Paris
tonight, tour the world.
You must be
out of your mind.
I'll not let you
marry anyone but me.
What are you going to do? I'm
going to turn him into a monster.
When I kill him, the police will
think I did it to save my darling ward.
I won't let you do it. Bruce!
Tubby was right.
You're capable of doing
everything he said you did.
You're cruel and inhuman.
You created the monster.
I'm going to tell the police.
You're the monster!
Vicky's in trouble.
Hurry up.
Vicky!
Now let him go.
Vicky, are you all right? Yes.
Good, you stay here where you're
safe. You fellows come with me.
Hey, I heard a sound
come from over there.
Sounds like something
down here.
There he goes!
There he goes!
You've got to stop the monster
before he kills again.
He's in the neighborhood
of Dr. Jekyll's house.
Hurry.
Very well, miss.
I'll send a squad right over.
Stevens, take your men into the East
End. They're chasing the monster there.
We shall show the world
that we're the stronger sex.
From now on, we shall go
forward and not retreat.
I will be your leader.
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.
you picking? I'm sorry.
I thought maybe the monster
had struck again.
It would be an easy thing for him
to do with me sleeping in the park.
The monster murders
time and again...
and never a trace of him
have they found.
I know. They don't know
whether he's a man or an animal.
Might even be a woman.
It's possible, you know.
Of course I know. My
wife's a monster to me.
She's joined them
suffragettes.
Do you believe in women voting?
No, I can't say that I do.
Ladies, gentlemen.
Listen to the story
of the neglected, abused...
and unappreciated women
of today.
You got bats
in your belfry.
Hire a hall. Why don't you join the Army?
Yeah, if you want to vote like
men, why don't you fight like men?
I'll show you rabble
that women can fight!
Go home and fight
your old man.
Come closer, everyone. Listen to
the story of downtrodden women.
Equal rights
for the women
We're practically brimmin' over
with our fight to get the vote
Equal rights for the women
no herin' and himin'
Not until we women
get the vote
You seem to think
we're silly geese
Willy-nilly-silly geese
Do you want war?
Do you want peace?
Listen, dearie,
here's the ultimatum
No more hugs,
no more kisses
The mister will miss his kisses
till we women get the vote
No more winks,
no more flirtin'
No matter how hard it's hurtin'
till we women get the vote
You great big men
out-muscle us
But you can't
out-tussle us
Our defenses will tighten
we'll keep right on fightin'
For equal rights
For the women
equal rights
Now, will all of you be kind
enough to sign our petitions...
and help us
get the right to vote?
Who'll be the first to sign?
How about you, sir?
Will you sign?
Right on the dotted line.

Thank you. We'll mail you
all our literature.
Which address do you prefer?
Yours.
Otherwise, how can I mail you what I
write about your suffragette movement?
Are you sure it's the cause
you're interested in?
Naturally. 'Course I must admit that
an interview in a little quieter spot...
might make things
clearer for me.
You and your yowling females, go
back to the kitchen where you belong.
Wait a minute, fellow, you
can't talk to a lady like that.
Try and shut me up.
Stop this fighting!
Go on, hold your jaw.
Hold your own jaw!
Come on, men, let's send
them back to the kitchen.
Come on, ladies!
Stop this fight!
Hey!
Stop this fight,
there's ladies present!
Stop this fighting,
I tell you. Stop this...
Now, listen, lady, that
wasn't cricket. And I don't...
I'll have no more
of this clowning around now.
I'm getting sick...
Slim.
Slim!
Stop this fight!
Look out, here come
some more bobbies!
Tubby!
Tubby!
Now just a minute. You're under
arrest for resisting an officer.
I'm under arrest?
Yeah.
Hey!
Why you...
We are not criminals. I demand
that you release us at once.
She demands
that we release her.
Who is going to release us?
You're bailed out, everybody. Thank you.
You, too.
And someday, women will be able to
take their rightful place in business...
the sciences,
and the professions.
Now is there anything
I haven't told you? Yes.
Are you married?
Hey, miss, you're bailed out.
I wonder who put up the money.
I don't know.
But whoever it was,
I hate him.
I was beginning to enjoy
it in here. I'm sorry.
You, too.
Not you, or you.
Thank you.
Vicky.
What about us?
That's a good question.
I think I asked him a silly
question. And you got a silly answer.
Vicky.
Henry.
It was you
who put up the bond.
I couldn't allow my favorite ward
and her friends to languish in prison.
Not being a member of the suffragettes,
I think I ought to pay my share.
That's not necessary.
Why you had the money all the time.
You could've gotten out yourself.
And miss all the fun
of being with you?
I don't think I've met your
friend, Vicky. I'm sorry.
This is Bruce Adams,
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
How do you do?
Bruce works
on the Daily Reporter.
I think I've talked him into
writing a very good story...
about our
suffragette movement.
That should be most interesting
reading. Good day, sir.
I've no more appointments
today, Vicky.
I thought we could
take a drive and have dinner.
I'm sorry. I can't, Henry.
We're having an early show
at the Music Hall tonight.
Oh, dear. Well, at least there'll
be time for a short drive.
My coachman can drop me at the house
and then take you on to the Music Hall.
That would be nice.
Dr. Jekyll, you wouldn't be
going toward the West End?
As a matter of fact, I was... Then
you won't mind dropping me off.
Thank you.
I hope I'm not crowding you.
Not at all.
It's very comfortable.
Home, Watkins.
Yes, sir.
Giddap.
This is what I get for putting
two Americans on the force...
so they can learn
our police methods.
Bring them in.
Yes, sir.
You're finished, Tubby, through.
You've perpetrated your last farce.
You're a disgrace to the
department. You're right, Inspector.
We can't have men like him
on our police force, can we?
Attention!
You can say, since it's the woman who
makes the home, raises the family...
and is the nursemaid, housemaid,
and general handyman...
she should be entitled
to equal rights.
Do you conduct the
Woman's Page in your paper?
No, sir. But this story
has an attraction for me.
I report crime news, such as
the murder early this morning.
Murder? How dreadful.
I must get a copy
of your paper.
Well, the victim was a colleague
of yours, I believe, a Dr. Poole?
Poole? I don't think
I know him.
Isn't that the man Dr. Lanson
brought to the house one evening?
Darling, Lanson's always
bringing somebody to the house.
He has to have somebody to bolster
up his arguments against my theories.
Dr. Jekyll, as one of our most
prominent medical research scientists...
can you explain why men commit
acts of violence, such as murder?
That's one of the theories Henry
and Dr. Lanson don't agree on.
Lanson agrees with me,
all right.
But unlike me, he's
afraid of public opinion.
On the other hand,
I'm convinced...
someday, scientists
will probe the mind of man.
Then you believe these acts of
violence stem from a disordered brain?
I believe that every human being
has two sides to his nature...
the good and the evil.
When the evil predominates, it brings
out the animal instinct in man...
the desire to get what you want,
even if you have to kill to get it.
Of course, some people are born with that
animal instinct under complete control.
But, it's the less fortunate
that I want to help.
If I can find some way
to curb that instinct...
to tame it, so that it's
always under control...
then perhaps we can eliminate
bloodshed, violence, even war...
and have peace on earth
and goodwill towards men.
I see.
Have you experimented?
No, of course not.
It's only a theory
as yet...
and I have no desire
to see it in print so far.
Well, I'm home.
Watkins, you will take Miss
Edwards to the Jubilee Music Hall.
Very good, sir.
If it's all right with you, Doctor, I'll
just ride back to the Music Hall with Vicky.
If you don't mind.
Not at all.
But I understood you had a friend in
this neighborhood you wanted to see?
Well, I doubt if he'd
be home at this hour...
but I happen to have another friend
who lives near the Music Hall.
I see.
Well, after you've called on him,
I'm sure Watkins will be delighted...
to drive you all over London
to see the rest of your friends.
Good day, sir.
Giddap.
Batley!
Batley!
You didn't give the
injection. I told you to.
Yes, I know.
When I told him about my research,
he laughed at me. I had to.
No, I didn't kill him.
Mr. Hyde did.
Dr. Jekyll is a cultivated gentleman,
bound by convention, by tradition...
who, through a metamorphosis,
becomes Hyde...
a creature devoid of all good,
the embodiment of all that's evil.
I must make no more experiments
until I find the proper balance.
Either the effect of the serum
takes too long to wear off...
or it isn't long enough.
It's too dangerous.
No, I must do it again.
I've waited all these years
for her, and...
now, that newspaperman...
I hate him. I hate him.
Mr. Hyde will kill him.
Mr. Hyde will kill him.
The judge
he called me names
I said, "Drive on, James"
Jail's been home
some 47 times
Excuse me,
while I make my change.
You kissed me.
What's wrong with that?
I told you, I believe
in equal rights.
Do you think your guardian
will approve of this?
Of course.
Henry's taken care of me
ever since my father died.
He's been wonderful to me.
Anything that makes me happy
pleases him, too.
Anything that pleases you
pleases me, too.
Now, the only way we can get
back on the police force...
is to capture the monster.
Look, Slim.
What?
If all of Scotland Yard
can't catch him, how can we?
Now look here, we're apt to
find him in any dark doorway.
Hello.
You got a match, governor?
Give him a match.
Here.
Get the kisser on that guy.
Don't get excited.
Hey, look!
There's a burglar.
Come on, let's catch him.
You can catch a burglar any
night, let's get the monster.
No, let's get that burglar, and we'll
get back on the police force. Let's go!
What do you fellows want?
We're the new dance team.
Show him, Tubby.
I'll see you
in the dressing room...
as soon as
I finish the number.
All right.
Why don't you watch it
from out front?
I'd rather watch
from backstage.
Girls.
Girls?
Now listen, we're not looking for
girls. We're looking for a burglar.
Check the rest of these
rooms. I'll check backstage.
There's nobody in here.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir.
Slim! Slim! Slim!
Slim! Slim!
What's the matter?
The monster's inside.
The monster?
The monster's inside.
Go on inside. I'll hold the
door and keep him from escaping.
Hey, you.
Did you see a big, gruesome-looking
monster come through here?
A big guy, he had the teeth
right down to here.
Do you mean this?
That's the guy.
Slim.
There he is.
Did you take him
for the monster?
Excuse my friend,
he's a little excited.
Excited? He's balmy.
I shall call the manager.
Now listen, that burglar's
around here somewhere.
Get some clues. I know
where to look for clues.
Where do you look for clues?
In the clues closet.
In the clues closet.
Your hat's dirty. All right,
now look for the burglar.
I must be seeing things.
Slim. Slim.
Slim.
Pardon me just a minute.
What's the matter? Come on.
I got the real monster inside.
What do you mean?
He's got big eyes, big teeth,
and a lot of hair on his arms.
Possibly
one of the other actors.
No, this is the monster.
He's not acting.
You sure?
Positive.
You hold that door, and I'll
go get a club. All right. Hurry.
Come on, open that door.
Come here. That's where
he was, right there.
I know he's around here.
He's hiding here someplace.
Stand back, Slim.
Hey, Slim.
I got him, Slim. I got...
Slim.
What happened?
I thought
you was the monster.
Where is the monster?
I don't know. He's not here.
I think he's in the next room.
In there?
Yeah.
Here, I'll go and chase him out. Yeah?
Stand here, and as soon as he
comes through here, clonk him.
I'll belt him, Slim.
Wait a minute.
I'll belt him like I belted
you, my pal. Stand over here.
I beg your pardon, have you
seen a monster around here?
I see. You can't talk
with that heavy mask on.
Well, here, I'll help you
take it off.
You see, we're looking
for him for a purpose.
Now there's a reason
for...
Slim!
Slim!
What happened?
What happened?
A terrible creature
knocked us down.
It's the monster,
and I seen him.
He escaped
through the skylight.
What a story!
Let's grab him, boys.
No, you don't. Come on up the
steps. Come on, hurry up here.
There he is.
Help!
Slim!
Tubby, this is no time
to hang out laundry.
Slim!
Now hurry up before the monster gets away.
The monster, come on!
The monster! The monster?
No, you don't. Come on.
He must be around here someplace.
Maybe he's gone, I hope.
Let's split up, and we'll
each look for him. All right.
Slim, you go that way.
Good.
I'll go this way.
Tubby, do you know which way to go? Home?
No, you stay here
and look for him.
And if you find him, holler.
If I find him, I won't be
able to holler. I'm scared.
Oh, oh.
Maybe I could get down through this
here way and then get onto the street.
Slim. Slim.
Hey, Slim.
Slim.
Slim!
Hey, the monster's loose.
The monster's loose. Come on.
Come on! Come on, will you?
We can catch the monster.
Give me your hand.
Slim!
I wonder where the monster
could have disappeared to.
I wonder where Tubby
could've disappeared to.
Well, I'm going to check
with the Inspector.
You go ahead.
I'm going to search for Tubby.
Slim!
Come on, will you?
Slim!
Hey, Slim!
Tubby?
Slim.
Tubby, where are you?
Over here.
Where?
Slim, get me out.
Tubby, what're you
doing in there?
What's the matter?
Hey, listen.
Slim.
What?
The monster's here.
The monster!
Not so loud. He's here. I'll
go out and get the Inspector.
What am I gonna do?
You wait right here.
I'll go with you.
No, you don't.
Listen, look around for a
piece of rope and tie him up.
Go ahead.
Hey, Slim, I got him.
Why, you bad boy. Come on.
Hey, Slim.
Come on, I got the monster.
I got the monster. I got him.
I got him in a cage.
I got him.
Hey, Slim, I got him.
Say, Inspector,
I caught the monster.
I caught him. Hey, Slim.
What?
I caught the monster.
I don't believe it.
Come on, I'll show him to you.
Come on, Inspector, I'll show you.
Come on, I want to
show you the monster.
Dr. Jekyll!
Dr. Jekyll?
Dr. Jekyll! What'd you
do? Leave the monster out?
How did this happen?
I was passing the museum
on my way home.
The door was open, I heard a noise,
so I just came in to investigate...
and this moron pushed me
into this cage.
I saw...
You saw one of our most
respected citizens...
and you deliberately
pushed him into a cage.
No, Inspector.
Look, he's the monster.
Let him show you the ring.
Tell him to show you the ring.
Go ahead. Let's see the
ring. I wear no rings.
You wish to prefer charges? No,
that's not necessary, Inspector.
I think he suffers
from hallucinations.
Perhaps he and I should
have a little talk someday.
I might be able to help him.
Dr. Jekyll, I thought
I had a pretty good story...
but since your name is
involved, I'll just forget it.
Thank you.
Good night, sir.
Good night, Inspector.
Can I drop you off
at your home, Doctor?
Thank you, no, Inspector.
I'm going to walk.
You're the one that ought to be
behind the bars, not Dr. Jekyll.
Good night.
Good night.
Monsters! Rings!
Good night!
One moment, please.
Gentlemen, I'm a very nervous
man, and all these stories...
in the newspaper about a
monster running around town...
have disturbed me greatly.
Not me. I'd like to get
my hands on that monster.
You would?
Sure.
You're a very brave man.
I must confess, if I came face
to face with the monster...
I don't know
what would happen.
I wonder if you'd be kind enough
to walk with me as far as my house?
Sure.
I'd be very much obliged.
Come on, Tubby.
No.
Come on. It's not every day
you get a chance to walk home...
with a great man
like Mr. Jekyll.
No. You...
As for you, you dummy,
good night.
I can't tell how much I appreciate
your coming with me, gentlemen.
I understand
from the Inspector...
you were both members
of the police force.
How true.
But after what's happened, I
don't think we'll ever get back on.
Well, I think perhaps...
I can make the Inspector
listen to reason.
In the meantime, I'd feel much
safer if you'd stay here tonight.
I'd gladly pay you
for your time. Say L5?
L5? I should say we will.
Won't we...
Tubby, don't get nosy.
We'll stay. Where do we sleep?
This way, gentlemen. I'll show you.
Tubby!
Come on,
we're gonna make L5.
Hey, Slim.
Yeah?
I gotta go home.
I forgot something.
What did you forget?
I forgot to stay there.
No, you don't. Come on.
There you are, gentlemen.
I hope you'll be comfortable.
You've got nothing
to worry about.
You've got the law in
the house now. Thank you.
L5 just to sleep here.
Not bad, Tubby?
Yes. If we're alive in the
morning and able to spend it.
Now look, you can't make
two persons out of one.
If there's a monster,
there's a monster.
If there's a Dr. Jekyll,
there's a Dr. Jekyll.
But one can't be the other.
Now listen, Slim. All I know is
that I locked up the monster...
and when I came back,
Dr. Jekyll was there.
You know, I'm no magician.
You're having hallucinations.
I'm having what?
You're having hallucinations.
I don't know what I'm having,
but I'm gonna tell you this...
either Dr. Jekyll is the monster,
or the monster is Dr. Jekyll.
Hey, you've got
something there, you...
Stop it.
That's the same thing.
I put them in the bedroom
on the second floor.
The fat one saw me.
He saw my ring, too.
You hold it for me.
Perhaps he should
never leave here.
Don't be so impatient, Batley.
He might be interesting
to experiment on.
Now, that newspaperman. I
must find out where he lives.
Good night, Batley.
Keep your eyes open.
Phew!
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
Dr. Jekyll.
What a cute
little Easter bunny.
Snapped at me.
Now, you stay away from me.
But what seems
to be the matter?
There's someone in this house that
shouldn't be here, and it's me.
What?
Where are you going?
Where am I going?
Go ahead and ask him.
Ask him why he needs you and I
to be a bodyguard for him.
He's got a bodyguard downstairs
who'd like to tear me apart.
Where did this take place?
Where did it take place? Right
behind there. That's a bookcase.
That's a bookcase,
and behind the bookcase...
he's got a laboratory with all kinds
of funny animals down there and things.
Go on, ask him. He won't
tell you, but ask him.
Why shouldn't I? I've a
complete laboratory here.
Of course, I've tried to keep
it hidden from prying eyes.
The research I'm doing
is highly secret.
I'll be glad to show it to
you, if you care to see it.
I've already seen it. The doctor
won't let any harm come to you.
Okay, but I'm not gonna
turn my back on him.
Come on, follow me.
This way, gentlemen.
You gentlemen should feel
highly complimented.
You're the first to see
the inside of my laboratory.
For 15 years, I've been
experimenting with strange drugs.
Drugs that someday
will be of service to mankind.
That rabbit snapped at me.
A rabbit snapped at you?
What your friend says
is quite right.
I've been able to transfer the
characteristics of this dog...
into the brain of that rabbit.
Now this monkey here...
Never mind this monkey.
How about that big ape
that'd like to beat me up?
I know of no such person.
I work here quite alone.
You know...
I think you're seeing things again.
If I was Dr. Jekyll, I'd throw you out.
I wish he would.
Now if you gentlemen
will excuse me.
Slim, there's something funny
about that doctor.
Don't be silly.
If doctors didn't experiment, they'd
never be able to find new cures for you.
As far as that doctor's
concerned, I'm cured.
You were right, Batley. We
must dispose of them right now.
That's funny tasting water.
Come on, let's get out of
here before something happens.
Will you stop complaining?
We're making L5, aren't we?
Well, keep quiet. Now, the doctor
showed you all over the house...
showed you
all of his laboratory here.
Everything's in order,
there's no harm done.
What can happen to you
in a place like this?
He's a legitimate doctor,
he's always...
Tubby? Tubby?
Tubby?
Tubby, come back here.
They've gone!
See that they come back.
Tubby. Tubby!
Tubby, what's the idea
of running out on me?
I don't feel so good.
I don't trust that Dr. Jekyll.
What do you mean?
Any man that can take a dog's
brain and put it into a rabbit's...
he can take a person and change
him into something he ain't.
That's physically impossible.
I've told you that before.
A human being
is a human being...
and you can't make
anything different of him.
Hey, here's a pub. I'm going
to go get me a cold drink.
Hey, Slim?
Now what?
You wouldn't let him change
me into anything, would you?
Certainly not.
Oh, boy.
Now come on, let's get
that cold drink. Okay.
One half-and-half.
Right-o, sir.
What will you have?
Sarsaparilla and some cheese.
Yes, sir.
Is there anything wrong?
Why, no, sir.
Nothing at all, sir. I'll
go and see about that cheese.
Blimey!
What happened to him?
I don't know.
Them mice get bigger
every day.
I may have to
eat with them...
but I don't have to
drink with them.
Hey, what's the idea
of bringing in that mouse?
Go away. You're drunk.
I'm not drunk.
And you take your friend
out of here.
I don't like mice.
Who are you calling a mouse?
It talks!
Hey, Slim.
What?
Those guys must be
seeing things.
Pay no attention to them.
They're drunk.
You know, there's always
a way of...
Hey, Slim, what happened?
Come to.
Come on now. Slim.
Hey, Slim,
you don't look so good.
Tubby.
What I just saw!
Great, big... He was...
He...
Oh, no!
Slim.
Oh, boy!
I...
Hey, Slim, what am I?
A man or a mouse?
A minute ago,
I thought you were a mouse.
I've got it. That stuff that
you drank in the laboratory.
How do you like that Dr. Jekyll?
He turned me into a mouse, the rat!
Let's tell the Inspector.
Let's tell the Inspector.
Which way did he go?
You claim that Dr. Jekyll
is using drugs...
to transform people
into other people?
Yes, sir.
What kind of people?
Mice.
Pardon me, did you say mice?
He means mouse.
Mouse. I took a drink of something,
and I turned into a mouse.
He's right, and I was
right there. I saw it.
Where did this mouse-turning
take place? In a pub.
I see.
You turned into a mouse
in a pub, and you saw it.
Yes, sir.
You were drunk.
You were seeing things.
You expect me to arrest...
one of the most prominent doctors
in London on evidence of that kind?
Get out of here.
Get out and stay out.
Mice.
Mouse.
Get out. Get out!
I can't believe what they've said
about Dr. Jekyll. It's too fantastic.
If it reached the papers,
it would ruin his reputation.
So fantastic, I wouldn't think of
using a story like that without proof.
Look, I saw the monster.
Ain't that proof?
I know Tubby drank something
in the laboratory...
that turned him
into a mouse.
Oh, my dear.
This is a pleasant surprise.
And you brought visitors.
Come in. Come in.
Henry, is it true you've been
experimenting with weird drugs...
that change humans
into animals?
In a hidden laboratory?
Oh, dear!
I suppose these two gentlemen
are responsible for this nonsense.
Now, if you'll be kind enough
to step into the library...
I'll be glad to answer
any questions.
First of all, let me say that if
I used my knowledge of medicine...
to concoct drugs that turned
a human being into a beast...
why, I'd be arrested
for practicing witchcraft.
But you do have
a laboratory?
All my research
is done at the hospital.
I've no laboratory
on the premises.
Yeah? What's that thing back there where
you got all the animals? A dog kennel?
What about the secret place
behind the bookcase?
There's nothing secret about it. I'll
be glad to show you through there.
I don't think
it's necessary, Henry.
I'm sorry, Dr. Jekyll, but I still
have the curiosity of a newspaperman.
Are you sure you're telling
the truth? Sure, I'm sure.
When I say I seen something,
I seen something.
Mr. Adams, if you'll follow me,
I'll be glad to show you through.
Then there'll be no doubt
in your mind.
Follow me.
Follow you!
You always push me in first.
Right down the stairs,
Vicky.
Bruce, now we got him. Wait till
you see what he's got inside there.
This certainly doesn't look
like a laboratory, Henry.
Dr. Jekyll, I'm afraid
I owe you an apology.
That's all right, my boy.
Say no more about it.
Shall we go back
to the library now?
Slim, come here.
Now, we were down here before.
You and I know that there
was a laboratory here.
I know that. He sure made us
look like a couple of dopes.
Listen, if we could find out
where that guy hid the stuff...
then we could prove to Bruce
that we're right.
You've got something there.
Come on.
Hey, Tubby,
lets look around here.
Maybe he hid
some of his drugs here.
Let's take the overcoats off some
of these bottles and find out.
What's that?
Hey, this is the stuff
you drank, Moselle.
This is what turned you
into a mouse.
Come here, sit down.
You're gonna drink some more
of this, turn back into a mouse.
Then we'll prove to Bruce
that the doctor was lying.
Wait a minute. Suppose I drink
this, and I turn into a mouse...
and I don't turn back to the way
I am, to the way I like to be?
Don't worry. I'll bring you
cheese every day. Now drink up.
Anything to prove something.
You feel anything?
No. Maybe I didn't give you enough.
Go ahead, drink up.
Now, do you feel like a mouse?
No, just a little warm
all over.
Dr. Jekyll,
I feel like a fool.
Don't be upset, Bruce. Henry
understands. Of course I understand.
Go ahead, drink it up.
Now are you a mouse?
I'm doing all the drinking,
and you turn into a mouse.
A big mouse,
you're turning into.
I'm gonna have to
take you up to Bruce...
and I'm gonna show him
that we was right.
You changed into a mouse.
We're gonna show him that
the doctor was lying. Come on.
Aren't you going to come
upstairs with me? Come on.
This is a lot of
steps here, mousy.
Tubby, are you all right?
Can I do anything for you?
Yeah, give me
a piece of cheese.
Dr. Jekyll,
as Vicky's guardian...
I was wondering if you'd have
any objections to our marriage?
The question's
hardly necessary, Bruce.
Henry's always given me anything
that would make me happy.
Dr. Jekyll?
She has given you the answer.
There's nothing left for me to say.
Well, preparing for a wedding
is gonna keep me quite busy.
So if you'll excuse me,
I'd better run along.
I'll go with you. You can
drop me off at my flat.
Good day, Henry.
Good day, Dr. Jekyll.
One moment, my dear.
If you're going to be
married soon...
there are many things your
guardian should talk over with you.
Very well. I'll see you this evening, dear.
Good day, Doctor.
Good day.
What did you want to talk
over, Henry? Wedding plans.
What plans do you have
for Bruce and me? None.
You can't marry him,
you belong to me.
I've loved you ever since you were a child.
Every plan I ever made, I made for you.
Vicky, we could be happy together.
I can do everything for you.
We'll leave for Paris
tonight, tour the world.
You must be
out of your mind.
I'll not let you
marry anyone but me.
What are you going to do? I'm
going to turn him into a monster.
When I kill him, the police will
think I did it to save my darling ward.
I won't let you do it. Bruce!
Tubby was right.
You're capable of doing
everything he said you did.
You're cruel and inhuman.
You created the monster.
I'm going to tell the police.
You're the monster!
Vicky's in trouble.
Hurry up.
Vicky!
Now let him go.
Vicky, are you all right? Yes.
Good, you stay here where you're
safe. You fellows come with me.
Hey, I heard a sound
come from over there.
Sounds like something
down here.
There he goes!
There he goes!
You've got to stop the monster
before he kills again.
He's in the neighborhood
of Dr. Jekyll's house.
Hurry.
Very well, miss.
I'll send a squad right over.
Stevens, take your men into the East
End. They're chasing the monster there.
We shall show the world
that we're the stronger sex.
From now on, we shall go
forward and not retreat.
I will be your leader.
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.
