4140 Code GEGA Hold Your Breath Christie Featuring Walter Hiers, Max Davidson, Tully Marshall and Dorothy DeVore
Walter and Dorothy are engaged, but their marriage is delayed because Dorothy's brother falls ill and she tries to fill his place as a newspaper reporter. Several assignments turn out disastrously, but ludicrously. Then she gets her great chance — to interview an art collector, Tully Marshall, who has just acquired a $50,000 bracelet. Notoriously impervious to interviewers, his room is crashed by Dorothy in a clever disguise, and Tully yields gracefully. He even shows her the bracelet, but while she is writing his story, an organ-grinder's monkey enters the window, steals the bracelet, and scampers up the outside wall of the hotel. Dorothy, accused of stealing the bracelet, eludes the house detectives and pursues the monkey, outrisking any other human fly in her desperate scaling of story after story of the hotel front. Walter, frantically summons the fire company with their nets, and later brings truck loads of mattresses to break her probable fall. The monkey with the bracelet, climbing to dizzy heights, is always just a few feet ahead of Dorothy and the house detectives about as far behind.
