HER DARK SPOT

THERE ARE MILLIONS AND ZILLIONS OF TREES -

BUT NATURE'S FANCY VERY RARELY CREATES TWO IDENTICAL TREES.

THERE ARE COUNTLESS DOGS, BUT VERY RARELY…

BUT COULD THERE BE TWO PEOPLE AMONG THE WORLD'S 1.200 MILLION,

WHO ARE TOTALLY IDENTICAL?

I don't believe my eyes: is it her or isn't it?

Of all the impudence!

That person has the gall to set foot into our hotel again!

Call the police!

None of that cheek! You're under arrest!

Lilian, aren't you at least going to introduce the gentlemen?

Police headquarters!

POLICE HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT FOR HOTEL THEFT

Viscount, I just had the person arrested,

who conned you out of your jewels!

Let me in! My cousin has been arrested!

You'd have to commit a crime

to get into that room!

On 17 July of this year you absconded from the Palace Hotel,

leaving behind a tab of 2,731 marks, Miss Yvette Demoulin?!

PASSPORT HOLDER'S SIGNATURE LILIAN VON TRUCKS

NONE HAMBURG

05.06.1908; RESIDENCE: HAMBURG PETITE; FACE: ORDINARY

BLUE; HAIR: BLONDE NO DISTINGUISHING MARKS; NO CHILDREN

A highly competent forgery!

So, you claim total ignorance. Perhaps I can refresh your memory

by introducing an old acquaintance of yours!

Yvette, where are my jewels?

Yvette, why did you make off with my beautiful pearl necklace?

Yvette, remember the night you gave me this black lock of hair!

A black lock of hair - but I am blond!

Platinum blond!

As I told you once before,

you'd have to have committed a crime to be allowed into this room!

Let me tell you something. As far as I'm concerned you're a…

…a huge squawking tree frog!

Now that you have called me a pig dog…

…you may go in!

Inspector, afterwards I'll report an insult to a public servant!

Why did you arrest the lady?

She is no criminal. She is my cousin Lilian von Trucks.

She is Yvette Demoulin!

I know of an unmistakeable feature which can't be dyed!

A birthmark, a small, dark spot!

There's nothing there. It's as white as snow!

The passport is genuine!

Dear madam, I regret our mistake!

I withdraw the 'pig dog' and hereby express my contriteness!

…I still say she's the criminal.

You just failed to find her dark spot!

ERIK TERMEULEN, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE JEWELLERS' SYNDICATE, AMSTERDAM

I'd really like to know more about that Yvette!

Go away, Leopold. I'll play Yvette now!

Yvette, why did you follow me?

Yvette, will you keep on denying that you love me?

Yvette, I beseech you,

go back to Nice and wait for me at the Hotel Royal!

Do you know this gentleman, Yvette?

Leopold, we're going to Nice! I'll continue playing Yvette!

Mr Termeulen of the Jewellers' Syndicate, Amsterdam.

Are my jewels ready?

Is that a publicity shot or do you know the lady personally?

I know her, alas.

An international jewel thief. Goes by the name Yvette.

An extremely cunning person.

She lies like a rug, thieves like a magpie.

You have to find out her room number!

Stop giving all the green boys the eye!

But I love only you!

Stop giving all the green boys the eye!

But I love only you!

Please don't fight!

It takes peace and quiet to rob jewels!

Next to me, Sherlock Holmes is a hound dog.

She's in room 26!

Number 26, please!

Number 26!

Yvette! None of that flirting tonight on the stage like yesterday!

But I love only you!

I must see how she wears her hair.

So it was you who picked up my key?

Miss Yvette Demoulin, you shall make yourself scarce

for twenty-four hours. My cousin will keep you company.

Otherwise I'll have you arrested at once!

A day with me is better than a year with the prosecution!

What do you want, waiter? I didn't call for you!

Nicked recently?

45 FULL OF YEARNING ERIK

Then we'll do the job tonight. A swell job at that!

Most likely nicked recently as well!

So you have a secret compartment for jewellery?
