You long be mild.

Not the real one.

Woo!

Thank you.

What is it?

This is Orang Surau. Look, Madam Kertawa. There's a river here.

A river!

Quiet!

Orang Surau, Madam Kertawa is not coming here.

Go back to your work.

Work, work!

Go back!

Oh, Karen Egg.

Dwan? Just what frightened the men?

Dwan Chris, they say that here we are too close to the jungles of Pahang. For

miles? Yes.

Even 30 miles is too close.

Pahang is the place of the devil tiger, Machanker Tower.

Machanker Tower?

Yes. The tiger which laughs.

I didn't know that you believed in witch stories, Carnag. Of no tiger that

walks, be it laughing or be it in anger, is Carnag afraid.

Then you think that some powerful spirit has taken possession of the beast.

It is not to be questioned.

Well, perhaps you're right, Carnag.

You know, that's amazing, isn't it?

That fellow is not afraid to face the tiger with his absurd knife.

He worries about ghosts.

That's where civilization comes in.

Personally, a tiger alone would send me up a tree without the ghost. In great

haste. What's all the excitement, Dad?

Oh, Catanag, a lovable character, is having a little spot of devil trouble.

You know, devils are as real to these people as leopards and pythons are to

Thank you.

As real and a lot more terrifying.

I think it's just as well we're leaving tomorrow.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

You know, yesterday, Karen Nag told me that in the jungle, there's no lie

ever quite a liar.

Colonel, you'll be back after the rains to wind up your expedition.

Yeah? Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay on here during the rainy season

and perhaps look after your animals and catch up in my book.

What would I be doing all by myself in Singapore?

You, dear?

Oh, you'd probably be eating your heart out for me in all the best nightclubs.

No, you're not serious.

Oh, but I am.

But, Dad, why don't you... Now, listen, darling, please.

When your father gave me this chance to come to Malaya, I dropped everything and

chalked off a whole year of my life to writing a book, which I've always wanted

to write.

So far, I've done nothing about it.

You know, I think I see his point, Arthur. Well, I can't.

Instead of being with me, Chris would rather spend the next two months chasing

ghost stories through the woods.

I'm sure he's welcome to it. But it isn't that, really, it isn't. Well,

what it sounds like to me. But, Arthur, please listen. I'm sorry. I've done all

the listening I can manage for one afternoon. I...

Why aren't you ready to go? I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to stay here and get the rheumatism with the young genius in the

Well, that's swell, Frank.

Are you sure you've got everything, Lynn? Yes, Missy.

Oh, Chris.

Good luck.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Ready to leave?

Yes, dear.

I'm sorry about last night.

Oh, I'm sorry you felt that way.

You don't care a bit how I feel.

Oh, yes, I do.

I care a great deal.

Then you're coming.

But, Arva, I thought I made it fairly clear that... Everything depends on

Chris.

Arva, you aren't trying to scare me out of doing my job.

Aren't I?

Oh, no.

If you don't care to keep it, you might just as well chuck it in the river. It's

no use to me.

Oh, you idiot.

You know I'm crazy about you.

Can I kiss you now without creating a false impression?

Really?

I think you want this in your hand, can I?

Go on.

All right.

When the rains are over and the river's high enough for the boat, you'll be able

to sail back in comfort.

Well, I hope the rains are as soggy as they sound.

Then you'll know I was right.

Darling!

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye, sir. Good luck. Bon voyage.

You want?

I don't know what they're talking about, but I bet it's something about starting

back before dark.

Seems to me the jungles will be pretty fine at night.

Look.

You see how tame they are?

They've never been driven by a hundred yelling idiots like yourself to be shot

at.

Remo? Oh, Tiger.

Look at the size of him.

Come on, let's see if we can get a glimpse of him.

Remo! Wait, you fool, wait!

Wait here if

you're afraid. I'm going to find out what makes that laughing in the jungle.

That idiot.

Oh, hello.

So you're the one who helped me.

Thanks very much.

I was just wishing with someone with a little influence around here.

Say, that pet of yours isn't coming back, is he?

Oh!

Oh, wait, wait, Splendid!

I won't hurt you.

It's just that something seems to be the matter with my ankle.

Sack it?

Sack it?

Sack it?

Sack it?

Sack it? It hurts.

Oh, yes, it hurts very much.

By the way, the correct word for tiger isn't limo, it's remo.

Remo.

Remo.

Remo.

Say, is that all you know, baby talk, and Malay baby talk at that?

What sort of a girl are you, anyway?

What's your name?

Uh,

Democo Polygam.

Ula.

Uh -huh.

How do you do, Ula?

My name's Chris.

Chris.

Kiss.

Some more baby talk, huh?

However, a kiss will do.

Oh!

I'm sorry if I scared you, but thanks very much.

Well, I don't think I'll be able to get back to camp like this.

Even if I knew the way.

More than a day's journey.

Maybe you'll have to help me.

Come on, give me a hand.

Come on. That's right.

You see?

Bluey.

Bluey. That's right.

You learn English in no time.

Come on.

Huh?

Oh, it's your home.

Well, it's a nice place you've got here.

Very nice indeed.

Oh, I've got to find a seat someplace.

It's much better now. Thank you very much.

Bogo. Oh, Bogo.

Well, excuse me for not getting up, Bogo, but you know how it is.

Fresh leaves.

Power Peggy.

Papa Sackett?

Sackett? Oh, hurt.

Oh, no, no. As a matter of fact, I think I can almost walk on it now, but... I'm

not going to try.

Now, look who I...

I'm engaged to another girl, you see.

So I think you'd better sit right where you are.

And stay there, please.

Uh -uh, right where you are.

Why did you run away, you coward?

Run away?

Martin Katauma can't run first.

This way.

Well, let's have it. Why is he here alone?

Tuan, this man says Tuan Cris.

Tuan Cris?

Tuan?

Back on Catawo.

Back on Tuan Cris. Wait, wait, Tuan, wait.

Wait, only he can help us to find Tuan Cris.

Only he can lead us to the place of the Laughing Tiger.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

I'll find out what he knows while I get ready.

Go.

Well,

in English it's eyes.

Eyes.

No.

Look. Eyes.

Nose.

Mouth.

Mouth.

But hold on, Ulla. That Malay baby talk is bad enough.

But you start doing it in English and you'll probably burn up the whole town.

And the name of that little piece of business there is mouth.

Mouth.

Behave yourself, Ulla. Please, it's mouth.

Mouth?

All right, dear, it's mouth then.

You've got me doing it now.

Wait a minute.

So you're the Laughing Tigress.

It turns out to be a perfectly normal girl.

I never respect her.

Now, Ola, are you trying to be difficult just so I can't get away from you?

I'm terribly attractive and all that sort of thing, but you just have to get

used to it, that's all.

Ola.

Nemo.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't be so impetuous, please.

Limo curangaja.

Curangaja, curangaja. Oh, playful.

Yes.

Ula, don't you think before I retire for the evening that you've forgotten

something?

Put the kitty out.

Huh? Put the cat out.

Oh, Limo.

Yes, Limo, put him out.

Limo, jump.

Me too.

Well, just as you say.

Good night.

Hot heat.

Is that where you're going to sleep?

Who will I sleep here?

Oh,

it's your regular spot.

Every night.

Well, I'm terribly sorry, but I wouldn't put you out for anything.

A thousand times no...

Well, good night, Ula.

Good morning, Bogle.

Did you have a good night?

So did I.

Oh,

Bogo, our little stepmother isn't back yet.

You know, I do hope he gets some of those nice bananas for breakfast.

What's keeping her?

Say, Vogel, what do you suppose the matter with me?

You know, getting the jitters like this every five minutes.

Aha! Breakfast is served.

Well, I'm sure.

Lima has already had his breakfast.

I hope.

Jalan. Ayo.

Ayo.

Jalan. See, he's gone.

Resting already.

He's shooting a jacket.

Torn to pieces.

I can't think how I'm going to tell the colonel, or rather, when they come back

after the rains.

I was going to walk for one morning.

Gosh,

it's good to be home.

Oh, I don't need this anymore. I can throw it away.

What are you looking at?

The beard?

Beard? Yeah.

Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi.

Bobby Gigi.

Bobby Gigi.

Bobby Gigi.

Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi.

Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Bobby Gigi. Well, I'll have

do something about that.

Hey, Bogo, get out of there.

Go on, Jalen.

Why don't you quit monkeying around?

The first stage.

Ready?

Pity? No, pretty!

No more Bobby Gigi, huh?

It's much better.

Better?

Yeah, I don't doubt it but a minute.

Well, what the... I put it right there.

Who says you can borrow that?

Kajizamasaya Bogo.

That's enough.

I'm going to have a swim.

Hello. Hello.

Right out on the sun.

Here's the place.

Oh, wait a minute, I'm gonna get my pipe.

Hey, hey, you!

Casi pipa!

Immediately!

Come on!

I'm

alone.

Oh, no.

Me here.

You?

You know, these rain clouds have been piling up for days.

If I'm ever to find my way back to camp, I'll have to go soon.

Go?

Yes.

What's all right now?

I must go.

Go?

Well, not right this minute, perhaps, but these rains won't hold off another

day.

But I must... I'll come back.

I...

Thanks, old man.

I didn't realize you were really a friend of mine.

Well, so long, Lemo.

these rains coming on, you have to fall down and break your leg.

Well, come on.

Doesn't look swollen or anything.

Is that the way I told you?

Now sing it in English.

Oh,

that's the boat.

Bringing back my friends.

But here, this is going to be quite a problem.

Problem? Yes.

What to do about you and me?

And her?

Of course, I might... Oh, I suppose it would be simpler all around if I were to

just go.

Just go?

You won't mind, really.

You'll have Bogo and limo Wherever I go now,

I'll always be coming back to you always

To Aunt Chris!

Hey, wait a minute!

Young Marty Barley to Aunt Chris!

Young Marty Barley to Aunt Chris!

What's the matter with him? The man has just met the ghost of To Aunt Chris in

the jungle.

I hope he had his pinnacle deck with him.

To Aunt.

What was I going to say?

Frank.

How are you?

I'm glad to see you.

Yeah.

Cypher, it's all right.

Well, what do you mean by having everybody in an uproar, posse searching

jungle, having you dead and digested, and here you are safe and sound?

And it's not a ghost.

It's Tuan Chris.

He's just hungry, that's all. Oh, Tuan.

Tuan.

Oh,

that's all right. That's just Bogo.

Oh, it's just Bogo. Sure, shake hands with him. Shake hands with friends. No,

with friends.

Shake hands.

Hello, boy.

How are you, Bogo?

Fraternity brother.

Punxsutawney, 76.

Well, I'm glad you weren't lonesome out there in the jungle. Oh, no, not at all.

As a matter of fact, I, um... No, not at all. Not at all, eh?

Do what?

No! Well, there's Limo.

That's all right, Frankie. It's just Limo. Who?

Limo.

Oh.

Well, I'm not going to shake hands with that one.

Nothing could surprise me now.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers.

I am wrong. I was expecting this to happen.

Can you imagine her following me all this way?

Stop.

You're breaking me all up.

This is Ula.

Doesn't seem to be any doubt about that.

Well, you see, she's really the laughing tigress. Oh, dear, man.

Ula, this is Frank. Say hello to him.

Frank?

Frank, how do you like that?

Well, it's no more than I deserve. Howdy, Ula. It's all right. He just

shake hands with you. Go ahead.

You see, Frank, all she knows about civilized ways is just what I've been

to teach her myself.

That daughter -maker is quite a girl.

Say, what's the matter with you anyway?

Nothing to matter with me. Not a thing in the world to matter with me. Only

you and her and the monkey and the tiger and Ava.

I forgot to tell you about Ava.

Ava is back.

Yes, I saw the smoke in the steamboat.

That is nothing to the smoke you are going to see.

Say, where is she now?

Flying down at the moment with the bromide.

She still thinks you're dead, the poor optimist.

It will be best, Juan, if the woman does not bring her servant with her into the

campong. Servant? What do you mean, servant?

Oh, you mean Limo.

He's as tame as an old goat.

I do not fear the tiger, Tuan, but the men outside of him might cry the witch

devil tiger.

They might against my honor bury the woman to her chin into the ground,

first cut away the lids from her evil eyes.

Men say cut eyes?

No, of course not. Everybody here is your friend.

Only I'm afraid you'll have to send Limo away.

Limo?

Away?

Only for a little while.

Because I asked you.

Juan, you better guard the woman in the quarters of Tuan Frank.

All right.

I know you'll be able to manage the men.

So long as they do not see her servant with her, I can manage them.

With this proof, the woman were better quickly dead.

Follow me, Ma.

No, come on.

No, no, no, they won't hurt you. Come on, come on. No, he's good to his

writes home to his folks, everything. He won't bother you.

Oh,

careful,

Frank, careful. She's not used to those things.

It's all right, darling. It's just a match. I hope she never sees a forest

Now, look, sweet.

Why don't you go and look at Frank's set?

I mean, Frank's little gadgets and things scattered around here, huh?

He and I have got to talk over several things.

Yeah, finally.

Well, go on, go on.

What on earth are you doing?

Nervous this morning?

What is it? Are the men going to give us trouble?

I think they shall be ruled to one coup, so long as the woman does not go out

tonight. Woman? The juice you're talking about.

What woman?

Isn't she cute?

Oh, sure. Oh, yeah. She's a cute kid.

Awful nice girl.

I'd love to find her in my stocking some Christmas morning.

But all the rest of your life.

Oh, no, my friend.

Oh, no. But how can I explain that to her, Frank?

You know, she did save my life. And if I were to just chuck her out now, she'd

be brokenhearted.

After all, she's nothing but a child.

My girl.

Glad to see you alive, Grace.

You must know how he felt.

Thanks very much.

Now, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.

On the contrary, my dear Christopher.

In common with everyone else in this jungle paradise, I've been in on the

confounded mess for the last five minutes.

And what I was overheard, that is, if she were awake, I don't think...

you misunderstand.

Oh, no, I don't understand perfectly.

Don't forget, Colonel, she's nothing but a child.

When Chris and I were married, they could maybe adopt her.

Hey, Ulla, Ulla, stop that. You can't do this.

Get off that bed instantly.

Bed? Yes, that's right, dear. Please get on your feet. Please.

Bed, woo!

Whatever could be so amusing?

Why, it's Chris!

He's back!

He's alive!

Oh, Arva.

Chris!

It is you. Oh, darling.

It is, among others.

Yes, dear.

Other girl? No!

What in the world?

Arva, this is Ula.

Who?

Ula. You see, she, uh, she saved his life.

Oh, I see.

How do you do, Ula?

As a girl?

Ula, please, you can't do things like that. Oh, nonsense.

Of course you can, Ula.

You just go on being your own natural, charming self.

And the girls smell pretty.

Thank you.

You shall have some too, dear.

Look at the moolah.

Down there like three solemn boobies.

Oh, don't look like that, Chris.

After all, I've been brought up and spoiled by a man of the world.

You really are. Well,

it's getting late and I think you ought to shave and change before dinner.

Besides, Ula and I must find something of mine that'll fit her.

Come, dear.

Come on.

Suppose we start with a nice hot bar?

Well, sounds to me like a pleasant beginning.

Oh, I think Ula will be all right.

Well, I hope so.

But up to now, she hasn't been up against anything worse than a man

tiger.

Let's all take a bath

Give me another hairpin, Lynn.

Certainly never looked like that on me, did it, Lynn? No, Missy.

That'll look much better.

I'm sure you're going to sweep the gentleman off their feet with this on.

Hmm? But that dress makes Bunchy on hip.

Maybe if we sit here?

That'll be all for this evening, thank you, Lynn.

Now, isn't that pretty?

Pretty? Yes, it looks lovely on you.

No, no, dear.

It's just that you aren't used to looking civilized.

There.

You wait until Chris sees you.

Chris? Now you wait here.

We want to surprise them. I'll call you when dinner's ready.

Wait. Yes, right here. I'll call you.

Wait.

Oh, good evening, Dad.

My, don't you look like a man about town this evening. Thank you. You look very

well yourself tonight.

After all, I've got Chris back.

Have you, my dear?

Dad, did you ever feel like beating something all to pieces?

Darling, tell me, what exactly do you intend to do with this poor child?

I intend to marry Chris in spite of all this nonsensical business.

For his sake and for my own.

I'm going to show him that some things in civilization won't do at all.

Hmm, you pretty things.

I suppose either of you could utilize a cocktail, couldn't you? Oh, we couldn't,

huh?

Darling, I think perhaps you'd better sit here.

And, Dad, will you sit over there?

And, Frank, you sit in that place there.

Yes.

Oh, dear.

What did you do? Forget the butter?

Oh, Ula.

Ula? Are you ready?

We're waiting for you.

Oh, yes, yes.

All right?

Pretty good, huh?

Well, we may as well sit down.

Oh.

Good chair.

Sit down.

Oh, pardon me.

A napkin.

Napkin? Napkin.

Here, here, let Frank do it.

There you are.

That's for your mouth.

Mouth? Mouth, yeah.

And your ears, too, if they serve spaghetti.

Aren't you dining with us this evening, Chris?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Well, I suggest all our health.

No, not who.

Whoopee. Whoopee.

Whoopee means one for you and one for me.

Gentlemen aren't being very entertaining this evening.

Now tell me, all joking aside, Chris, how's that book of yours getting on?

Oh, the book?

Oh, it's finished.

Finished?

Yes, but just in here.

Well, it...

practically on the newsstand.

He's listening to something.

What is it, Ola?

What do you hear?

Jungle people.

Near.

Near, Chris. Not happy.

I suppose it must be the animals in the cages.

Ola.

Stop the music.

Crunch on.

What's that? What did she say? Oh, it's a song she knew when she was a little

girl.

She used to sing it to me sometimes in the cave.

Naturally, I taught her the English words for it.

the bomb.

any of us care about finishing, do we?

What's the juicing?

Better up to something.

Like a fourth ward clam bag coming home through the fifth ward.

here, Chris.

The men are much enraged, Juan. They say he killed the witch.

If you hear anything about that girl's safety, you'll get her out of here now.

The danger is great, Juan.

Come on.

Please, let go.

must be set free.

They've done well, Twan. For in taking the tiger as their victim, they spared

the woman of Twan Chris. And I say the tiger must be set free.

And I say if we release the devil tiger, the men will fall upon us at once.

He's right.

Let's take a powder, Colonel.

Come on, Abbott.

You make me so nervous standing there.

Oh, Chris.

Come and sit down here.

We must get acquainted again.

I keep feeling as though something were happening out there in the dark.

Oh, that tiger's perfectly safe.

And she's asleep.

Yes, I know, but... she'll never really rest as long as Lima's in the cage.

If you think I'm going to sit here listening to you talking about her, I...

Please, I'm terribly sorry, David.

I'm afraid I seem to be in love with her.

Oh, your promise doesn't mean anything after all.

Well, I'm going to hold you to it, whether it does or not.

No matter how you may feel about it now or how I feel about it myself.

As a matter of fact, she might as well be in on this.

Martha, please let her sleep.

He's gone.

Yes, I'm sure.

You can be in the jungle any moment now.

You can be safe there.

What do I do with this, Missy? Oh, I'll take it, Lynn.

Wilbur, what's the matter? Did you find him?

Huh?

I'll drive with you. Wait a minute.

What's he doing?

Oh, he's... He's leading him to her.

How do you find her?

Hit the gun. It's not a bad note. Is there anything I can do? I'm afraid not,

dear.
