Original subtitles

Yes, Lynn?

Will you wipe the oil off my back?

Lynn, my hands are full of grease.

It's too late to worry about that.

I've already stained it with suntan oil.

I guess your mother will be sore, hmm?

Don't worry.

I'll get it into the laundry before she

sees it.

You're a darling, Harold.

The way you pamper me.

Oh, it's wonderful to be able to sunbathe

like this in November.

Mmm, that feels good.

Uh-oh, I didn't realize it was so

late.

I've got to get dressed.

I'm expecting the boys I sing with and

our booking agent to come in from Omaha

today.

I guess that means you'll be going to

work, doesn't it?

Uh-huh.

Good morning, Mrs. Nart.

Good morning.

Harold?

Yes, Mom?

Have you cleaned number three?

Well, no, I was just adjusting the carburetor

I bought.

But the room won't take long.

No, no, it wouldn't take long at all.

If your mind were on your work instead

of that car.

And that Novak girl in seventeen.

Actress, heh.

She's a nightclub singer.

Same thing, but worse.

Has she got a job yet?

Yes.

That is, I think so.

She's expecting the fella she sings with and

the combo and her business manager to come

to town this afternoon.

She says when they're really wailing, they sail.

Well, you just sail over to number three

and give it a good cleaning.

And be sure and move the furniture.

Okay, Mom.

Hey, this is a beauty.

They tell me you can get up to

sixty in six seconds.

Got a Miss Novak here?

Lynn Novak?

You must be her friends from Omaha.

Yeah, she's expecting you.

So they call this winter out here.

Yeah, maybe you can get rid of your

cold now.

Will you stop doing that and blow your

nose?

Miss Novak made reservations for three gentlemen.

Mr. Wilson, Cutner and Davis.

I'm Cutner.

This is Davis.

Mr. Wilson's been delayed.

Look, our luggage is in the back seat.

Want to take it up to our rooms

and park the car?

Sure thing.

Yes, sir.

The keys are the ignition.

Park it.

Your rooms are fifteen and sixteen.

Miss Novak's is seventeen.

Yeah, I guess I better tell her we're

here.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Hiya, doll.

Where's Woody?

I guess you didn't hear about it out

here.

Made headlines in Omaha.

The law picked him up.

How?

All I know is what I read in

the papers.

They hinted that somebody fingered him.

After I got everything all set here.

That's good to know, doll.

Because the job goes just as planned.

Without Woody?

Think Woody's the only one who can pull

a big one?

Of course not, but...

There's no buts.

They've taken over Woody's job.

And Woody's girl?

Doesn't she go with the job?

You never wanted to be his girl.

You were always looking at me.

Will you!

Got any beer around here?

Yeah, there's a couple of bottles in the

refrigerator.

Let him get it.

Al, about Woody...

Forget him.

I told you he'd finally stub his toe.

You didn't have anything to do with his

being picked up, did you?

Of course not.

Where'd you get an idea like that?

How about this Carl Johnson guy?

This pigeon Woody dug up.

How soon can you get in touch with

him?

Almost any time, if it's urgent.

How?

I got him to give me a schedule

of his daily pickups.

They're due to stop at a big supermarket

in about half an hour.

Get down there and tell him we got

in.

Sure, hon.

Who's the car-happy kid downstairs?

That's Harold, the manager's son.

He runs errands for me.

Say, his taxis went out to go into

town.

He's harmless.

Maybe.

But his ears look a little big.

Come on, Phil.

You know, Lynn's got to get dressed and

get the word to her pigeon.

Hey, I know that band.

You should.

You were part of it a couple of

years back.

Yeah, the Guys and Dolls combo.

But they're in Omaha.

That's why we bought it.

It's a short wave.

We want to know what's going on in

Omaha when they put out the news.

Come on.

I put your luggage in your room.

And I'll take care of your car now.

Thanks.

Lynn.

I hope Mr. Wilson's delay won't affect that

job you're expecting.

No, it's all set.

You going someplace?

Just down to the supermarket.

Can I drive you?

You'll spoil me.

Spoil you?

That's impossible.

I wasn't sure I'd get to show a

few anymore now that your friends are here.

Al and Phil aren't friends in that sense.

It's business.

I'm just a voice to them.

Then I can still drive you whenever you

want to go someplace?

Sure.

Hop in.

I'll just be a minute.

Don't you want me to carry anything?

I'm only carrying soap.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Sure.

Honey, since you gave me this anklet, I've

never taken it off.

And you know what that means.

All right, Carl.

Here's the map of the getaway.

You want to go over it again?

No, the getaway plan's all right.

It's the keys that worry me.

You've got to get those keys.

I can't open the doors or even start

the truck without them.

That's my department.

You just see you're the driver that morning.

I'll get the keys.

I'll find a reason to be the driver.

Good.

How much dough do you think the truck

will be carrying?

Well, the supermarket's our last stop.

We should have picked up around $100,000

by then.

Half.

50 grand will be your share without a

bit of risk.

Not bad, huh, Carl?

Oh, honey, $50,000.

What we won't be able to do together.

Well, if you don't mind, Phil and I

will say good night.

Oh, we don't mind, do we?

Come on, Phil.

So long, you two.

Oh, honey, $50,000.

You know, I'd be worried if I thought

there was a chance of any suspicion falling

on you.

But there isn't.

And so the company will never suspect.

We'll spend only a little of the money

at a time.

And that way it'll last forever and ever.

I, uh...

I think you'd better go home now.

It'd ruin everything if anyone saw you here.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Oh, honey, the fun we're gonna have.

The things we're gonna do.

I just can't wait.

Good night.

Good night.

We have plenty of time for that later.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Come on in, honey.

Hi, Lynn.

Harold.

Did you want something?

Yeah, there's a story in here about a

fellow escaping from jail back in Omaha.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I didn't know whether you'd heard about it

or not.

His name is Woody Wilson.

Escaped?

Woody in jail?

Why, that's impossible.

Says he's a booking agent.

It's just a small story, but the name

made me notice it.

Woody Wilson, local booking agent, arrested last week

and being held as a suspect...

in a series of Midwest armed robberies.

Made a daring and successful break from custody

today.

Why, that's an awful shock, Harold.

I don't know how to tell Al and

Phil.

It's funny they didn't know about it.

The arrest took place a week ago.

It must have been in the Omaha papers

before they left.

If they knew, they would have told me.

Maybe they had a reason not to.

What do you mean?

Oh, this may sound silly to you, but

I've been thinking.

That's Wilson's car Al's driving.

If that's a hot car, Al can get

into a lot of trouble.

And you too, Lynn.

That car isn't hot.

Al bought it from Woody.

It's still registered in Wilson's name.

I saw the pink slip.

Al just hasn't had it transferred yet.

Oh.

I appreciate your concern.

But you're just a little worked up over

everything.

It's Al.

Don't tell him anything.

Wow.

What are you doing here, punk?

What?

He just brought me the evening paper.

That was real nice of you, Junior.

Now get out.

What's with him?

Get off him, Al.

He's just a friend.

Why don't you shut up?

I said get out.

I think you'd better leave now, Harold.

Woody's escaped.

I know that.

Bill and I caught it on the shortwave

this afternoon.

Why didn't you tell me?

What are we going to do?

What do you mean, what are we going

to do?

We're going ahead as planned.

We can't go ahead.

Woody's too smart to try and cause another...

What did you say?

I said we can't go ahead.

That isn't what you said.

You said Woody's too smart.

You're still gone on that guy, aren't you?

You'd flip back to him in a second

if he showed up, wouldn't you?

Just get this straight, doll.

Don't ever think you can play me like

you did Woody.

I wouldn't try.

The punk brought you this paper.

You sure there isn't something else I should

know?

Kid knows it's Woody's car.

I told him you had the pink slip.

I don't know if he'd believe me.

You would check us into a motel with

a hot rod square.

The kid's car.

That's a hopped up conversion job, isn't it?

Yeah, he's put hundreds into it.

Find out how much power is under that

hood.

Get him to take you for a ride

past the hideout cabin.

Just glance around, see if anybody's been snooping.

But the main thing is to get the

kid to really open it up.

Give it a real speed test on every

kind of road.

Yeah, he's been dying to show me how

fast it'll go.

That's nice.

Phil, if we can do over 90, we

might want to use it.

It's so tight.

Touch it.

Touch it.

Touch it.

I think a

pebble hit me.

It's all right now.

How long did it take us?

You mean from town?

26 minutes, but we're not to Rock Creek

Bridge yet.

Were we really going 100 on the straightaway?

Mm-hmm.

I had a little more power left.

Oh, Harold, look.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a little

cabin like that?

A place we could go to away from

everybody.

Yeah, it would.

If things were like they were.

What on earth are you talking about?

Your friend, Cutner.

I told you how it is with him

and me.

Only business.

I guess I'm just jealous.

You needn't be, Harold.

He means nothing to me.

You're still worried about me, aren't you?

Mm-hmm.

That newspaper story said Woody was arrested because

of an anonymous phone call.

Suppose Al was the party that tipped off

the police.

He wouldn't do a thing like that.

None of us ever guessed that Woody was

a crook.

It's hard to believe even now.

Well, what if Woody thought Al did?

Now that he's escaped, you'd be looking for

him, wouldn't you?

See what I mean?

Maybe he is.

And if he is, you'd be right in

the middle of it.

The whole thing's ridiculous.

What an imagination you have.

What makes you so sure the punk won't

do anything without telling you first?

I just know, Al.

Well, one thing's certain.

We've got to make sure he isn't around

afterwards.

You may have him dizzy now, but he'll

be able to put two and two together

then.

How about tomorrow?

It's all set.

We're going on a picnic.

I'll be waiting at the spot you marked

in the map.

Good.

It's a messenger.

Answer it.

Good evening, ma'am.

Western Union.

I've got a telegram for the party that

lives next door, but they don't seem to

answer.

And the young man downstairs in the manager's

office said that maybe I'd be able to

find Mr. Al Cutner here.

That's me.

Oh.

Good evening, sir.

Would you like me to wait for an

answer, sir?

No, thanks.

No answer.

Oh.

Thank you very much, sir.

Good night.

Who's it from?

Woody.

What does he say?

Take good care of my car.

I'll be seeing you soon, Woody.

You tell that skirt of yours or anybody

where we are.

Oh, you think I'm nuts?

Didn't.

I swear it.

This isn't from Omaha.

Woody's here in this town.

Keep the stuff you're going to wear tomorrow.

Pack everything else.

We'll take it with us.

Now, if Woody shows, play dumb.

You don't know anything, you haven't seen us.

You, get to our rooms and pack.

You're running out.

No, doll.

It'll look that way to Woody.

Come on.

Pack.

Pack.

It's okay.

Carl's driving.

Went like clockwork.

What if he gets chicken and doesn't follow

us?

He's got to now.

With the keys, he's in this up to

his neck.

I've never seen you quite so happy, Harold.

Why shouldn't I be happy?

With Kuttner and his friend gone?

That isn't a nice thing to say.

He got word that his mother was ill.

That telegram wasn't from his mother.

It was from Woody.

How do you know it was from?

Did you open that telegram before you sent

it upstairs?

No, I didn't open it.

I sent it.

You sent that telegram?

Why?

Al Kuttner was lying to you.

If he hadn't robbed Woody's car or turned

him in, he'd have nothing to be afraid

of.

But when he ran off in the middle

of the night like that, he proved I

was right.

You don't know what you've done.

Sure I do.

Made the smart guy jump.

He called me punk in front of you,

Lynn.

I just made him jump through the hoop

and show what a punk he really is.

And you saw it.

That's what I really wanted, was for you

to see it.

You did it because of me.

I couldn't let you get into any trouble,

Lynn.

Kuttner could get you into a lot of

trouble.

He sure did run when I yelled Woody.

I'll bet he's running yet.

I'll never give you away.

I swear I'll never tell Al what you

did.

All right, Junior.

The picnic's over.

Don't worry, doll.

The armored truck and your share of the

money's on its way.

What is this?

Shut up.

Do as he says or I'll kill you.

Help Phil move all our stuff into the

hot rod.

Well, get going!

Keep an eye on Junior.

Come on, open up!

That's the guy that was in your apartment

the other night.

Come on, come on, come on.

Pretty soft way to get rich, huh, Carl?

Hurry and tie me up.

Easy does it.

Everything's going just like I said it would.

Just give me a gun.

Turn around, Carl.

I'll tie up your wrists.

I hope you haven't made any plans about

how you're going to spend your share of

the money, Carl.

Why'd you do it?

Quit your worrying, doll.

We're pinning it all on Woody with his

own car.

By the time the cops unravel this one,

we'll be miles away.

Woody will be on the hot seat.

Remember that cabin you were admiring yesterday with

Lynn?

Yes.

That's where we're heading.

A hole up there during the rabbit hunt.

Come on, Junior.

You're driving.

Used me for a patsy all the way,

didn't she?

It's too bad, Junior.

But we all have to grow up.

Come on, let's move it.

You're doing just fine, punk.

How are the cops doing, pal?

They're running around like rabbits trying to trace

the truck.

Wait till they find it.

Then the fun will begin for our friend,

Woody.

Hey.

The cops won't even get a smell of

us.

Here it comes.

Still no further word from the police regarding

the Daring Daylight armored truck robbery.

Getting away from crime, here's a romantic note

in the news.

A hotel operator, Mrs. Mildred Norton...

Mom!

...fears that her 18-year-old son, Harold,

has eloped with one of her tenants.

The boy told his mother he was going

on a picnic.

Later, Mrs. Norton found that the tenant, whom

she describes as a swimming pool Delilah, had

checked out bag and baggage without paying her

bill.

I'd say they must have planned quite an

extended picnic.

All right, get out.

Come on.

Hey, Hal.

They found the truck.

And Woody's car, too.

Give me him.

They're putting out a full description of Woody.

I don't know.

We can listen to the rest of this

inside.

In fact, for the next few days, we'll

do nothing but listen while they block every

road.

When they pick up our fine friend Woody,

we'll just move out, amble out over those

mountains.

You pick up the luggage, I'll take the

punk.

Come on.

It's a cop.

One wrong peep out of you, Junior, you

get it.

Try to talk Mildred to take it.

If you can't, just take it.

Must have gone for his speed trap.

He falls with dust.

Glenn, you stay with him.

Listen to what he says.

This your car?

Yes.

And you must be Harold Norton.

Yes.

I'm sorry, Harold, but your mother's issued a

pickup order for you.

Maybe you didn't know it, young lady, but

it's against the law to elope with minors.

We aren't eloping.

We just went on a picnic.

Our friends asked us to drive them up

to their cabin.

Well, then, let's just say the picnic's over.

I'll have to take you back.

Yeah.

...if it hasn't been commandeered.

They've got a roadblock there for the armored

car bandits.

Yeah, we've been hearing about it on the

radio.

Think you'll get them?

With every highway in the state blocked and

all cars being searched, they haven't got a

chance.

Okay, Harold, let's get going.

Follow me.

Harold, you look a little shaky.

Better let Phil drive.

Is that okay, officer?

I think it's a good idea.

Get in, Tom.

Tom?

Run him off the road.

What do we get to, Al?

We don't want to run into one of

those roadblocks the cop was telling us about.

Okay, okay, we'll cut back over the mountains.

Take the next dirt road.

There it is.

Make the turnoff.

Hey, Luther, there's a car coming up the

road.

What?

A car.

You're crazy.

Well, come and see for yourself.

Okay, I'll be with you in a minute.

I'm listening to a news broadcast about an

armored car robbery.

Okay.

It's a dead end.

Get out.

Hey, there's somebody up there.

It's a girl.

Hey, how'd you get up here?

This road's closed till spring.

Didn't you see the signs down below?

Yeah, but there's not enough snow on these

roads to worry about.

Yeah, well, there's a lot more on the

way.

We just got a weather report.

You'll be lucky to make it back down

to the valley.

Say, I know you.

You're Harold Norton.

That's right.

I saw you win the helmet dash at

the hot rod races at Colton last spring.

Looks like the little lady knows you, Harold.

I, uh, I was lucky.

Clock said 110.

You were hot that day.

Better cut out this hot rod banter.

You folks have got to get out of

here before we get socked in.

There's a front on the way.

Next time you see a closed road sign

and the mountains pay attention to it, they

don't put them up for fun.

Well, if there's a storm coming, how are

you getting out of here?

I'm not till spring.

Which accounts for my wide stare, Mr. Norton.

Yours is probably the last strange male face

I'll see for five months.

You live here?

Only the winter months.

My brother counts snowflakes for the power company.

Luther, this is Harold Norton.

We saw him win the race at Colton

last spring, remember?

Harold Norton.

Hey, you've got good taste.

Your mother's looking for you.

It was on the radio.

You got a radio up here?

The best two-way shortwave transmitter.

Look, if you want, I can get her

operator at the main office and have her

tell your mother you're safe.

No, no, no.

That won't be necessary, Luther.

Please leave him alone!

Leave him alone!

Please!

All right,

let's go over it again.

Your job up here is to measure the

snowfall for the power company, right?

How soon do they send someone up to

relieve you?

They don't send anybody until spring.

You sure of that?

Yes.

After the first snow, the rose block, nobody

can get through.

What about your supplies?

You see what we have here?

Enough for a year.

Let her go.

Put it where it belongs, punk.

Are you planning to stay till spring?

Well, I won't.

Well, if you want to leave, here's the

keys to the car.

Are you trying to be funny?

I don't like surly dames.

I'm sorry, honey.

This place gives me the willies.

You better like it.

It's going to save your life, all our

lives.

Woody at his best never figured out one

like this.

For five months we're on the moon as

far as the cops are concerned.

You should be in jail where you belong.

Yeah.

No!

No!

Bill, stop him!

Are you kidding?

So I ought to be in jail, huh?

Yes.

Terry, have you ever run through snow barefoot?

You know, it figures the company wouldn't install

a shortwave transmitter unless you were going to

use it regularly.

Which will it be?

Does your sister run through the snow?

Or are you going to tell me when

you're supposed to report into the main office?

Don't tell him, Luther.

Come on, sis.

Let's find out how cold it is.

Report on Tuesdays and Fridays.

What time?

Eight o'clock.

It's ten minutes after eight.

If you let me get to the radio,

I'm sure I can bring her in.

You said you were on the channel.

Calling KMT-2VD.

That's her.

All right.

You answer it.

Get out of that chair.

Calling KMT-2VD.

Come in, Luther.

This is KMT-2VD.

Hello, Elmore.

Hello, Luther.

How would you like my namesake?

I...

I don't think I understand.

The Storm.

The weather boys named her after me because

I phone them so often.

They said she'd shake her skirts out right

on top of you.

You did that all right.

How much snow did you get in the

upper valley?

I...

I don't know.

It's so deep I haven't been able to

dig my way out.

I can believe that.

Balltop reported four feet six.

Of course it'll pack down.

What's the temperature up there?

I haven't taken a reading today, Elmore.

You didn't?

What's the matter, Luther?

Are you sick?

Your voice sounds a little strange.

No, I'm all right.

That's good.

Let me say hello to Terry before I

sign off.

She's outside.

At this hour?

I mean she's taking a bath.

Why didn't you say so?

Well, give her my best.

Talk to you Friday night, same time.

Goodbye for now.

Goodbye, Elmore.

You did real well, Junior.

All right, clear these things up.

Luther?

Yes?

This one of those Geiger counters?

Yes.

Find anything with it?

Nothing worthwhile.

There's a low-grade deposit near the lake.

It's a sample in a small sack over

there.

Hey, what do you know about this thing?

It's for the kids and suckers.

All the chain stores are selling them.

Luther!

You say this stuff's no good?

Well, it runs about a pound to a

ton.

The government requires at least double that.

Honey, watch your cigarette.

Hammond got a cigarette.

It's the chimney.

I put a piece of galvanized tin on

top of it last week to draw better.

Oh.

You get away from him!

You leave him alone!

Okay, Junior, okay, okay.

I tried to burn up the set.

So when he didn't answer their calls, the

company would send somebody to investigate.

That radio better be fixed by 8 o

'clock on Friday!

Harold, I never believed you were one of

them.

You better get back in the house.

If Kuttner finds you talking to me, it's

not gonna be funny.

She got you into this, didn't she?

I could wear tight sweaters and sheer blouses

and high heels the way she does.

Look, Terry, if Kuttner comes in here...

Harold, I want to thank you for what

you did the other night.

It's too bad it didn't work.

You risked your life for me.

I'll never forget it.

Terry, please go.

You'll get us both in trouble.

No, we're not in real trouble already.

What if you thought what Kuttner will do

with us when spring comes?

Now, Terry, don't say things like that.

Do you think Luther can get the radio

working by Friday?

No, he can't.

The transmitter crystal's cracked.

He doesn't think that set will ever work

again.

What happens if that thing isn't fixed by

8 o'clock?

It's fixed by tomorrow night.

You know what happened to Johnson.

How's it all gonna end?

In a bloodbath.

That's all Al knows about, shootin' and killin'.

Now he's killin' the squirrels.

Yesterday he shot 10 of them.

You'd like to pull out, wouldn't you, Phil?

I didn't say that.

No, you didn't.

But if you did, I wouldn't tell Al.

Don't get thinkin' things, Lynn.

We'd never get away with it.

There was only one guy who was ever

able to outfox Kuttner.

And that was Woody.

But Al got him in the end.

Woody isn't the only one who made Al

jump.

What's behind that, Reebok?

Nothing.

It's just that I know he isn't as

smart as he thinks he is.

I sure hope Kuttner bought a new battery

for this radio before he brought it up

here.

Now look, I rewired it so you can

use the headset for a microphone.

Has Luther connected the wires to the receiver?

He's doing it now, right under Kuttner's nose.

Good.

All right, Terry, now look.

What Luther and I have rigged up here

is like an office intercom to the receiver

in the cabin.

Luther will be able to hear you, but

you won't be able to hear him.

So I'll stand in the window of the

cabin.

When Luther is speaking, I'll have my cigarette

in my hand.

Every time he finishes, I'll put the cigarette

in my mouth.

That's my signal to answer?

Right.

Now look, there can't be any slip-ups.

It's gotta go just like we rehearsed it.

And if he can't get out here tonight,

we're sunk.

Don't worry, we'll think of something.

I know my words by heart.

And don't forget, you're not Eleanor.

Kuttner knows her voice.

Hello, Luther?

This is Florence.

Eleanor's off for a few days.

Eleanor's off for a few days?

That's good enough.

Here's hoping.

It's two minutes to eight.

What have you done?

I'm sorry.

Oh!

Where do you think you're going?

To change my wet blouse.

It's cold.

All right.

All right.

There's a lot of static.

I guess I didn't seal the wires good

enough.

There isn't time to fix that now.

You better bring in that station.

Calling KMT-2VD.

Calling KMT-2VD.

Come in, Luther.

This is KMT-2VD.

Come in, Eleanor.

Hello, Luther.

This is Florence.

Eleanor is off for a few days.

There's a lot of static up here.

Are you getting me?

You're coming in fine, Luther.

Here's the snow report.

Eighty-four inches in the basin.

Water content, 19.6. Seventy-one inches at

Poison Meadow.

Water, 17.

Thanks, Luther.

Talk to you Tuesday.

You know, it's a funny thing about that

voice.

Sounded like your sister.

Come on in where it's warm.

Hey, Al.

It's snowing.

Might be a good time to establish that

bank you were talking about.

Yeah.

One where any visitor would leave his calling

card.

Like footprints in the snow.

Get my money parched out.

A third of that dough's mine.

Before you move it, I want a count.

Okay.

Ugh!

I don't want you squares to see how

well crime pays.

Get in the other room.

Hey, where'd that come from?

I got it on Luther's dresser.

He's missed it by now.

Well, you want to count it?

No, I'll just watch you.

All right.

Nine thousand and ten.

Now for the heavy stuff.

Well, this mizuma makes your mouth water, huh,

doll?

Mm-hmm.

Now what are you doing?

Just checking to see if it's still snowing.

Oh, come here.

Oh, we got 40 in twenties, 20 in

fifties, two packages of hundreds.

Grand total, 82 grand.

Satisfied?

Yeah, it's all there.

All right, depositors.

You want a receipt?

No, honey.

We trust you.

Better to have it someplace where the kids

won't get ideas.

Hi, honey.

Have a nice nap?

You ought to be inside.

Catch your death of cold, you won't be

able to spend your share of the money.

Oh, I'm just insuring my share, Al, by

watching the kids.

What, are you supposed to be a mining

engineer?

There are a lot of articles in those

old magazines about uranium.

You'd be surprised the number of guys who

made a success with one of these things.

Remind me to file a claim when we

move out of here.

Get my rifle, doll.

I got the shelves in my pocket.

I think I'll swing over to the bank

and see how our money's holding out.

I suppose you're wondering where the bank is,

huh, Bill?

Oh, I don't mind you holding a dough,

Al.

As long as we can't move off this

mountain.

Meaning just what?

That before we move out, we'll have another

count.

And I'll take my share.

Don't you trust me?

Oh, sure, Al.

About the same way you trust me.

Don't point that at anyone unless you're gonna

use it.

I shot the head off a squirrel at

a hundred yards with this the other day.

Oh, don't worry, Al.

I'm not nosy like the squirrels.

That's good.

I'd hate to mistake your head for a

squirrel's.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

That's real bored comedian.

Well, things don't seem to be any worse.

I guess they're not suspicious.

Luther says that when the company doesn't hear

from us, they'll send someone up to investigate.

Then we'll be free.

And I'll be in jail.

Well, you're not one of them.

You had nothing to do with the robbery

and the murder.

Who's going to believe me?

Well, Luther and I can prove you didn't.

How?

What you did last night.

If you were guilty, you wouldn't be helping

us.

What a fellow couldn't do if he had

a girl like you.

You've got a girl like me.

Come here.

I want to talk to you.

I won't have you fooling around with that

little squirt, you hear me?

I won't have it.

You don't own me.

No?

What do you think would happen if I

told Cutner about that telegram?

Terry, I think you better leave us alone

for a minute.

Then you wouldn't tell Cutner.

No, I wouldn't, Harold.

But Terry isn't your kind.

You turned to her because of Al and

me.

I told you I want to get away

from him.

I want to be with you.

Drive your car and do the things we

used to do.

In spite of everything, you'd do anything for

me, wouldn't you, Harold?

I guess I'm trapped.

I want you to find out where Al

hid that money.

I don't want the money, Harold.

There's blood on it.

I wouldn't touch it.

We've got to get it to save ourselves.

It's the only way we can stay out

of prison.

But I didn't do anything.

You drove the getaway car.

The police would never believe that you weren't

in it from the beginning.

But if we have the money, we can

make a deal.

How am I going to find it?

Al with that gun of his is watching

us all the time.

You're smart, Harold.

Smarter than Woody ever was.

You made Al jump, remember?

I'll try to figure out something.

I knew you would, Harold.

Yeah.

All right, you kids, knock it off.

Go on, get outside.

I want to talk to these two.

Come on, what are you waiting for?

Get over to the window and watch them.

What's worrying you, doll?

Those kids.

What happens to them when we move out

in the spring?

What do the farmers do in the springtime?

Plant them.

Phil, where are they now?

They're at the shed.

I figured they might be.

Come on down here and listen.

How far away can you hear this snowsled?

A mile at least, depends upon the wind.

But Cotton will see it before that when

it comes over the pass.

But we'll see it first because we'll be

looking for it tomorrow, and he won't.

We'll have to make a run for it.

You ever see a snowsled?

You're going to see one soon.

The power company is sending one up here.

I don't get this.

Luther has been fooling us with that snow

report to his company.

When did you get out of it?

The other night, when I recognized Terry's voice.

I got to thinking about it.

I just found out.

That room was cold and the window had

been opened.

They must have rigged an intercom system from

out there into this thing, with our portable

radio.

It all adds up.

When one of these snow stations don't report

in, the company sends somebody up to investigate.

They must use one of those gadgets like

a tractor.

It's the only way to get up over

the pass at the deep snow.

When the driver gets here, we jump, but

go down through the...

No, we don't go down, we go up.

There's a pack trail over the divide.

The forest rangers use it in the summertime.

As soon as we get over, we'll ditch

the sled and then take a bus to

the nearest town.

Where have you been?

Looking for uranium.

You must be in your second childhood, drooling

over rocks.

You'd be surprised.

There's more money in one of these gadgets

than you'd think.

You ever see such busy little bees?

All right, stop it.

But we need some firewood.

I said stop it!

This wood is so green, I don't think

it'll burn.

What do you suggest?

There's some dead trees just over the hill.

It'll make great firewood.

If you let Harold help us, I think

we could manage to saw them up and

drag them in.

I'd be glad to help.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Phil, keep an eye on these three electronic

geniuses while I try and figure out why

they want to go over the hill for

firewood this fine, bright morning.

Some sort of vehicle coming over the pass.

Any of you young people try to order

me a snow taxi?

Phil, get down the road as far as

you can without being spotted.

If that sled jockey smells something and tries

to turn back, give it to him.

All right, you.

Come on, come on!

Stop right there.

All right, sit on that bench.

Put your hands on the table.

Lynn, come here.

You keep them sitting there until I come

back with the money.

Don't be a fool.

Get your hands back up on that table.

You act as if you wanted to get

away.

I was just trying to keep you from

getting yourself killed.

What's going on?

Turn around!

Luther was getting cute ideas, so Harold told

him what was good for him.

Here, hold this.

Better get a thermos for coffee.

It's going to be cold where we're going.

It'll only be a couple of minutes now.

Harold, get that parka over there.

Lynn, go put your coat on.

Harold, get the thermos bottle.

It's in the kitchen.

Yes, ma'am.

What about Phil?

We're leaving him behind, didn't you guess?

Drop it!

Shoot him, Harold!

I said drop it!

Smart, isn't he, Harold?

He's the woody who made you jump.

He sent that telegram.

Was it fake?

Terry, it's not what you think.

So you're the woody that's making me jump,

huh?

Terry, run!

We're going to make him tired!

Go, go,

go!

Look out!

He's in the shed!

Don't trust him.

He's got another gun under that coat.

Mr. McIntyre!

Looks like he's had enough.

Are there any more, Terry?

Just a girl.

I can take care of her.

They're coming back.

Where have you got it hid?

What are you talking about?

The money.

Where have you got it hid?

I haven't got the money.

You had it.

Don't give me that!

So it was that little square all the

time.

Well, you'll burn before she'll ever get a

set of it.

Harold, I represent the insurance company.

Yes, I know.

Now, if you'll just tell me where you

hid the money, my company will pay for

your entire defense and double the reward.

But I didn't hide it.

I don't know where it is.

Harold, Miss Novak has already told us how

you and she planned together to get the

money from Kuttner so that you could return

it.

Now, that was a fine and heroic thing

for you both to do.

And I beg of you, Harold, remember your

promise to Miss Novak.

Your love for her.

But I don't love her.

I don't think I ever did.

Let me talk to him.

Harold.

Phil's turned state evidence.

That means that the only way we can

save each other is by standing together.

Be smart, honey.

Think what we can do with that reward

money.

I can't help you.

I'll get it out of him.

You just leave him alone with me.

Sorry.

Time's up.

Wait, Harold.

What are you going to do?

Withdraw your bail bond, Miss Novak.

You can't do that.

You promised to fight to keep me clear.

Contingent upon your being able to recover the

money, Miss Novak.

I'm convinced that you can't.

You'll regret this, Harold.

Just a minute, Miss Novak.

We're keeping you under custody.

Miss Monaghan.

You take Miss Novak up to the warden's

office, please.

You think you're clear.

Well, you've got another guest coming.

A lot of people think you're using the

public defender's office just to gain sympathy.

Nobody else will take the case.

They all think I'm lying.

Harold, I believe you when you say you

didn't get the money.

However, we must face facts.

Miss Novak's going to testify that you've got

it.

I know.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, and

it's got to be Phil.

That's why he turned state's evidence so we

can get a short wrap and be able

to go back and get it.

Nobody will believe a story like that.

Now you'll have to look facts in the

face.

At the trial, it will be Lynn Novak's

and Phil Davis' testimony against Luther and Terry's.

But Harold's innocent.

Yes, I'm sure he is, completely.

But you don't think the jury will be.

A lot will depend on what sort of

jury.

Whether some guy believes Miss Novak because her

stocking seams are straight.

Or you, Terry, because your scrubbed face reminds

him of his daughter or kid sister.

Harold.

Harold, I want you to know that no

matter what happens, I love you.

Oh, Terry, I love you so.

Can you keep that light in your eyes

at the trial?

If you can, I can guarantee an acquittal.

We interrupt this program for a late news

bulletin.

Following the announcement that Harold Norton, recently acquitted

in the armored car robbery, has found and

returned the stolen money, the superior court denied

the pleas of Lynn Novak and Phil Davis

for clemency.

The convicted pair now face 12 years in

the state penitentiary.

I guess when Harold collects the money, he's

going to have to pay for it.

To get that reward money, you two will

set up housekeeping.

You heard what the man said.
