"The Jewels of Khama" "Willy Steetner, an eccentrical American millionaire." "That same day." "Willy Steetner gives his servants the week off, except for his loyal servant "Mac."" "Joe Smith, his confidant, the only one who knows of the secret." ""All is going well..." "Tonight we'll find the man we need."" "A remarkable resemblance." ""Isn't that Willy Steetner?" "No, it's someone who looks just like him... the painter George Land."" "George and his friend Simone lead a Bohemian life." ""There now, no need for concern!" "Don't worry, happiness will come to us." "We will get married and be happy.."" ""The rendez-vous is at the artists' cafe."" ""I'll go to the cafe to see what that stranger wants from me..." "I'll return immediately."" ""I sent for you because of the extrordinary resemblance." "But what is it you want?"" ""I have a simple proposal:" "I offer you $100,000, if you agree to replace me for a week."" ""You'll live at the villa "Steetner"..." "And Willy Steetner will be the painter George Land for 7 days."" ""And when do I start?" "This instant!" "That's required!"" "George considers the sudden fortune and Simone's happiness." ""I accept."" ""But I would first inform someone who is dear to me."" ""I take responsability for that, I will see it done, you have my word."" "It's equally difficult for a millionaire to disguise as an artist, as it is for an artist to pass for a millionaire." ""Take care of the house."" ""But the heart of a woman in love cannot be fooled." ""Stay calm!" "..." "I'm not George Land..." "Tell me, how to send you an important message."" ""As soon as this man's asleep, you may leave the house." "Remember..." "The boss expects us tomorrow morning."" ""But what is the meaning of all this?" "Explain yourself!"" ""Are you not pleased with the matter?"" ""Yes!"" "I'm going to bed..." "I am tired!"" ""Who will she be?"" ""Willy!" "What's wrong with you tonight?"" ""And why are you so upset?" "..." "Are you not pleased that George can quickly earn a fortune?"" ""With your money he could satisfy his wishes, and get rid of me to marry the woman he loves."" ""Do not despair!" "..." "Your George won't have much cause for happiness."" ""Wait here ..." "I'll be right back."" ""Mary!"" ""When a woman wants something, then..." Simone extracts from Willy the key to the secret." ""It's a strange story..." "I was on holiday with my dear friend Dody and two other companions..." ""We wanted new sensations at any cost..." "But the strangest happened in India, where we foolishly decided to meddle with a cult."" ""We had a burning desire to make our way into a forbidden temple, and we were partly succesfull..."" ""The sacred monster's jewels awoke the imagination of my dear, capricious friend."" ""...and I very foolishly promised her, that I would show her these jewels from close by."" ""I'm not in the habit of breaking my word... and so, at night..."" ""...but as it turned out, the gentlemen pray at night also..."" ""...and the worst possible thing happened."" ""Seeing all was lost, I decided to face the situation with tranquility."" ""I was saved!"" ""But the believers were not forgiving..."" ""The sacred laws demand that the defilers be punished by fire within the year, and the sacred jewel recovered." "So we swear!"" ""I was in a serious predicament, for no-one could could keep these fanatics from fulfilling their oath." "In a thousand ways I managed to elude their pursuit."" ""I have now placed the sea and a continent between them and me."" ""Only a few more days were between me and the end of the year's term, and I felt almost safe again."" ""Until the moment when yesterday I saw my pursuers." "They had tracked me down and found me."" ""How should I escape from this dreadful peril?" "Putting another in my place was the radical, and only solution." ""And you would have me depart from here during the night?"" ""Pity!" "How hard it is to play the part of a millionaire?"" ""You are on the right track, and beware of returning to town."" ""Nobody."" "Return the jewel to us!" "The sign of death." ""We must obtain the jewel." "Hopefully the cult members didn't strike yet, hoping to find it first." "But Joe!" "Do everything you can to find Miss Dody again, for it's in her possession."" ""Your task shall be to observe George in the villa, using the description of the hide-out that Mac provided." "Having ransacked the vestibule." "You cry in vain, because no-one is home." "Do not attempt to escape, that is futile." "And Simone has already started her job most courageously" "Simone tells Mac what the cult members have decided and what strategy they have designed." ""They forgot to bring something to drink."" ""I'm thirsty!"" "George uses a trick, to shed some light on this complicated affair." ""Now you will speak!" "..." "Who are you?" "..." "What do you want?"" ""Miss Dolly?"..." ""No, she left with a message for..."" "The jewel." "The torture that the cult members chose..." "Thirst." ""Return the jewel to us."" ""But I..." "I am not Willy Steetner!"" ""Water!"" ""Water!"" "Simone comes to the rescue." "But the cult members are vigilant." "There are people watching over you." "Be strong, and be careful." "After these strange ancounters, Miss Mary is very concerned about the fate of the man she loves." "And decides to take part in the battle against the mysterious, silent forces." "The hideout discovered." ""A woman who is hiding in the villa is trying to help the accursed blasphemer!"" "Only 24 hours before the year is passed, and Willy receives daily reports from his servant Mac." "Miss Mary decides to keep an eye on the villa from the sea." "The sleeping potion." "To overpower the woman." ""We must come to the rescue."" "The sleeping potion has done its job." ""The woman must die as well."" ""A year has now passed and the god Khama shall be avenged..." "You're doomed!" "Give us the sacred jewel."" "Simone made it appear, as if she took the sleeping draught." ""According to the sacred laws' decree, the perpetrator will be burned alive."" ""The flames will devour you!"" ""They will escape us!"" ""Hold me tight!"" ""Ah!"" "A ship is prepared for the escape of the cult members." ""He fell... the accursed blasphemer will avoid his just punishment!"" ""Only the sea can save."" ""He must be brought aboard the ship."" "Mac the servant arrived just in time to see, that the fanatical followers have captured their victim." "Joe Smith and Miss Dody hurry to Steetner's villa." "The loyal servant Mac communicates that George is in terrible danger." ""Sign quickly to the captain, that we obtained the jewel..." "I will take care of the rest."" "Miss Mary's boat." ""He will die in the flames of vengeance."" ""We must help him!"" "Female rivalry." ""Who might you be?"..." ""..." "And who are you?"" ""Saved!"" "Miss Mary and Dody, convinced they saved their Willy, are in for a few surprises." "The cult members return, not knowing what has happened and walk into the trap, that Willy had set for them." ""He thinks he has done away with the blasphemer, but now instead finds TWO!"" ""The year's time for vengeance specified by your laws has now passed." "I return the jewel to you, and also a large sum, on condition that you depart from here immediately, never to bother me again."" ""The check for George Land." "He won double the amount that was metioned."" "....all's well...that ends well!" "END"
