Transcript

Now to continue our story. Sergeant Preston, with King of this side, went down the main street toward the northwest Mounted Police Headquarters. As he was about to go in a man... I'm Sergeant Preston. I've been waiting here for you.

I recognize you because of the dog. I'm Jim Belden. Jim Belden. I trailed you from Whitehorse. I thought you would, sir. I want to talk to you about what happened if you listen. You mean you want to give yourself up?

It isn't that. I didn't kill anyone. Wells was already dead when I went to his room. And why'd you run away? I came here to find someone. Someone I thought would clear me, but never...

Why'd you go to Wells' room at the hotel? To warn him. And to prevent him from being murdered. I see. Who did you expect was going to try to kill Wells? Right. I'd rather not tell you the whole story. I know he'll tell me.

But you won't have a chance to find him now, Baldon. I'll have to take you under custody. Oh, please, give me a chance. I won't try to get away. I swear I won't. Tell me, Jim. Who else, besides Mimi Grant?

No, you went on that so-called business trip to White Horse. No one. That is only the person I want to find. In other words, Jim, you expect if you find that person that he'll confess and clear you.

Well, yes. Jim. That doesn't make sense. Wells was murdered because he carried a small fortune in gold, and you say the man who killed him will give up that gold and confess just to clear you.
