Hello boys. Got any old tires you don't

want? Only old tires I got them riding

on. We got enough money to go to the

circus, but not enough for the sideshow.

Save your money. Plenty of freaks around

here.

Hey, you think they got all the things

they say they have? Sure. The man told

us that they ain't got no lions. They

have to. The man let us see them. He

did. But they ain't got no teeth. Sure

they have. Long as anything. Let you and

me go see him. You can go ahead. We're

going swimming.

Say, we're going past Dog Adrien's

house, ain't we? Sure.

We going right by the front of the

house. Sure. What's the matter? You

scared? I ain't scared of no crazy

doctor. Well, if you're coming, come on.

Well, well, you see, it's this way. If I

don't get home for dinner, work, mom

won't let me go to circus. All right.

So, you're afraid, but you'd better stay

here.

Get out of there, you little rock. What

are you? Hold on.

Come on, Jeep. Look, he's got Willie.

I can't understand why they don't do

something about Doc

Avery. Destroying all the values in this

town, giving Red Creek a bad name. I

think so. You're right, Mason. He ought

to have been run out of this town a long

time ago. Who ought to be run out of the

town? Dr. Adrien, you should have been

with us this afternoon. He scared the

women so bad they haven't got over it

yet. This town's too healthy. Maybe he

scaring himself a couple of patients.

Understand them big doctors make a lot

of money on nervous women. Wasn't it

funny when that epidemic broke out,

Quinn? You know as well as I do he used

a lot of those patients as guinea pigs.

I know nothing of the sort. I know he

did everything he could. There's two or

three in this town who wouldn't agree to

that. However, I can understand his

reason for want of patience now. Well,

he got himself another one this

afternoon. Little Willie over there.

He ran after me, hurt me, and I wasn't

doing nothing. Poor child. I think

you're all yellow.

She's right. And none of you got the

courage to do anything about it. His

patients die on him. And now he's

hanging around Miss Clifford's house

experimenting with Francis. I guess you

make a poor critic, Mason. Your greed

hasn't done this town any good. You

doing preaching? Little preaching

wouldn't do you no harm. What would the

people you squeeze dry and the usury you

charge on your loans? Oh, I don't ask

him to borrow. I guess there's an answer

for that also, but I think it'd be

wasted on you. Business is business,

Quinn, and you know it. Besides, uh, we

weren't talking about me. Why don't we

kick the doctor out and be done with it?

I'm ready anytime you're willing to

start it.

Oh. Oh, yes. That prescription, I'll

fill it in a second. Been quite busy

this morning.

I'm sorry to delay you, doctor. It's

perfectly all right. I can fix it

myself. It's It's none of my business.

And Maybe we men of science think

different from other people. But uh if

they ever find out in the village what

you've been doing. You mean about the

animals? Yes. Some of the dogs have been

missed. Well, that phase of the

experiment is all over. I've found out

all I need to know. Can I help you? You

think they need you in the store?

Just as you say, doctor. Just as you

say.

[Music]

Well, that's good. Enjoying the last of

the sun. Oh, a doctor. Doctor, sit down.

Thank

you. Oh, how's my girl today? Oh, you're

all dressed up. Danny Fold, he's coming

over. So early. He can't come tonight.

He's going to the circus. Oh, yes. The

circus.

I almost forgot.

I've got a present for you, Francis. Oh,

from me, doctor. Well, now don't get too

excited. Just wait till you open it.

Isn't anything at all? A jewelry

case. Oh,

doctor. Oh, it's

beautiful. But why so much, doctor? You

gave me a birthday present last month.

So I did. Well, this is a makebelieve

birthday, just as you're my makebelieve

daughter.

Was she very like me?

She'd have been just 18

today. She was to have warned

that I couldn't save her and I couldn't

save her

mother. I hadn't the weapons to fight

the disease that killed them, but I have

now. Or at least I've got a knowledge of

them. 10 years it's taken me. Francis,

you are going to walk again.

You're so intense. You frighten me

sometimes.

So Danny's going to the circus, huh?

Yes. Then he's coming back here

afterwards and tell me all about it. Oh,

he is, is he? Well, why don't you go

with him? Oh, me? Do you think she

could? Fooly. Why, of course she could.

I don't know why she shouldn't. Hello,

everybody.

Oh, Danny. Oh, Danny. Hello, Mrs.

Clifford. Well, Danny, how would you

like to take Francis to the circus?

Well, gee, that'd be great. Only Well,

of course, she can go. We can take care

of her. I'll be back for you later. Oh,

thanks, doctor. Now, don't you worry,

Mrs. Clifford. Two strong men to look

after her. She'll be all right. Be back

later. Goodbye, doctor. Shanny, I think

you better run home and get yourself

cleaned up. You look as if you brought

all of the grease from the garage with

you.

You know, Francis, I think the doc's

crazy. I suppose I'll have to like him

as long as he's nice to you. He wants to

be nice to everybody, but people won't

let him. Well, I'm not saying I believe

all the things. Don't you believe any of

the things they say about him, Danny

Foster? Well, all right. Don't get

excited. Look, Danny, the stories they

tell about the doctor are just as dirty

as a grease on your hands and face.

Well, that Bob takes care of me. So

long, honey. Goodbye, Danny.

[Music]

Stay with the duck. Don't let it throw

you. Careful.

There you are. That was easy, wasn't it?

All right, princess. Oh, yes. All

right. Right. Okay.

Well, this time next year, it'll take

three men to lift you. Oh, not three

men, doctor. If it did, they'd want to

keep me in the circus. Hop in, doc. Oh,

no. You can get somebody else at the

circus to help you lift her down. What's

the matter? Aren't you coming? No. You

two go on by yourself. Now, you don't

mind if I change my mind, do you? Oh,

please, darling. You'll have much more

fun together. Off you go. And don't

forget to tell me all about it in the

morning. Salon, do you? Thanks for

everything. Goodbye, doctor. Bye.

Goodbye, mother. Have a good time. Bye.

Goodbye, doctor. Goodbye, mother.

Goodbye. Oh, come, come, come now. This

is no time for tears. I know it. I can't

help it. Nonsense. The change will do

her a world of good. Good night. Good

night.

[Music]

Well, we made it. Hey, did you see him,

Mickey? Who? The gorilla. Did you really

see him? Yeah, in the side show. He's a

big fella. Is he bigger than three men?

That ape? That ape is bigger than six

men. Six big men. It's the biggest eight

gorilla in the whole world. Look, here

come the clowns.

[Music]

Having a good time? Oh, yes.

You don't act like it. Gee, everybody's

looking at us. I'm nervous.

What for? Well, out with a married man

and you know,

gee, this this is the best circus I ever

saw. It's the only circus I've ever

seen.

[Music]

Get him high on the

hop. All right, officer.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Peanuts popcorn right hot out of the

oven. Excuse me, honey. Peanuts 5 cents

of egg.

[Music]

Isn't she

lovely? She's ungraceful. Ah, she's not

so hot. I saw her passing the garage

this morning. Them costumes make a big

difference.

[Music]

That's what the doctor calls muscular

grace. Muscular coordination.

Uh, honey, look over that ring there.

[Music]

See? There you are.

You're all right now. You'll be chasing

bones in the morning.

What I've done for you, I could do for

men. They let me.

[Applause]

[Music]

That's all, honey.

I'm sorry it's over. We'll never miss

another circus.

[Music]

Are you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

What are you trying to do? Drive that

animal crazy? Well, he's getting mean.

It's the only way I can handle him. Did

you ever try a little kindness? Nothing

wrong with him. Naboo, come here. Noob,

old boy. Come on, Nab. That's it. Yeah.

Well, two years ago he killed my old man

and I ain't going to let him forget it.

Understand? I know he did. I was right

here when he did it. Cuz he was abusing

him. Same as you're doing. If you don't

watch your step, he gets you, too.

Why don't you mind your own business?

[Music]

You boys wouldn't be gambling, would

you? Sheriff, take me in.

That was a fine show you fellas put on.

You was the funniest clown I ever seen.

Oh, I rode a horse. He was a clown. He

was? Oh, he looks like a judge.

[Music]

Come on, boy.

Hey, Jim. Hey, let's give him a hand.

Come

[Music]

[Applause]

on. Can't handle it. Set an alarm. Get

the animals

out.

Heat.

[Music]

Here's doctor. Get something to put him

on. We'll take him there. Come on,

man. Somebody better get after that

ape. Get a party together. Come on,

boys. Let's see what we can do about

that fire.

[Music]

man badly hurt. Sorry to bother you,

doctor. Bring him in here. Come on.

Right in with him.

Well, what happened? An eight. Got him.

An ape? Hope we scared him off in time.

This man's badly mored. Well, you better

get him into my laboratory. Jane, you

show them.

Well, how did happen? Was he in the cage

with the ape? No. The circus burned down

and the ape escaped. The circus burned

down and the audience they'd all gone

home. Thank heaven for that.

Now, will you want us any further,

doctor? No, I'll take care of it. Well,

then come on, boys. Let's get out and

see if we can find that a

[Music]

Don't let him get at me, mister. Don't

let him get at me.

Perfectly safe here. I'm a doctor.

I might hurt bad. Do

I'm afraid, sir.

I don't feel nothing. Am I going to die?

We all have to die sometime.

Oh, just don't let me die, Doc.

man. The highest kind of

animal. Hey,

doc. What are you going to do with me?

I'm going to write you into medical

history.

I'm going to keep a promise.

Wait here. Keep your eyes open.

That sure ain't got no

heart. I'm so hungry I could eat hay.

Well, there's a barn full. Help

yourself.

[Music]

George, you take your fellows and search

the country up around Carter's farm.

Jim, you take your boys and cover the

west side of town. Pete, you stay with

me. All right. How about joining us,

Mason? Let the circus people do their

own work. Why should we do it for them?

But the circus is burned down. They've

had trouble enough. Well, that's their

tough luck. Well, if we don't find that

ape, our own people might get hurt.

That's your job. Your law and order. And

why should I worry about other people?

They don't worry about me. You wouldn't

be a little bit scared, would you miss?

Well, know me all day about it. We're

ready. He gives a body the creeps to

think of that critter roaming around.

Better to keep the doors and windows all

bard. No telling who we'll go for next.

Are you all right, dear? Mhm. Want some

more?

What you thinking about? I was thinking

about that wonderful woman aerialist I

saw last night. Oh, here comes Dr.

Adrien. Good morning, Mrs. Griffith.

Good morning, Francis. Oh, good morning,

Dr. Adrien, I want to thank you again

for the wonderful time I had last night.

It was too bad about that trainer,

wasn't it? Now, don't you think about

him? This is the most important day in

your life. Today, we are really going to

start her cure. I found the serum that I

need. I'm going to walk, Dr. Adrien.

I hope

so. I'm not just thinking about you,

Francis, but of all the other sufferers

in the world. with all the little boys

and girls who can't go out into the

sunshine and play and have fun, who have

to spend their lives in a wheelchair

like you.

I'll do anything I can, Dr. Adrien. I

know you will, my dear. It's not going

to be easy. It's going to hurt. But when

it hurts, don't be afraid. Just remember

that when the pain is gone, it'll leave

it'll leave new life

behind. Huh?

I think we better get her ready. All

right,

doctor. Now we've got them here and

there and here. Now, if we don't get any

results tonight, we'll start in here and

work west. No, change your mind, Mr.

Mason. I never change my mind. You got

to have one first. That's enough out of

you. Here's that dispossessed notice on

Wilcox. I want it served tonight. We're

busy tonight. It'll wait till tomorrow.

Your duty is to take care of the

citizens of this town. Not fooling

around chasing apes. It seems you're in

a mighty big hurry to make people

uncomfortable, Mason. It's my business

what I do. Fine. And it's mine what I

do.

We'll get to this when we have time.

Good night.

Oh, doctor.

Well, Francis. Oh, my legs. They feel

like lead. I can't lift them. But you

never could lift them before. Oh, I

know. But I never felt them before.

You You feel them, Francis. You feel

them? They're so heavy.

Well, that's good news, my dear. That's

what we were hoping for. But it's only

just the beginning.

If there's any change, you send for me

immediately. Yes, doctor.

Oh, mother.

Jane. Jane.

Jane, look. I succeeded. It's fair.

Life. Life in that tiny

bottle. It's

working. The child will walk

[Music]

again. Just go.

[Music]

[Applause]

Damn it.

[Applause]

[Music]

It's Will Cox. He's all torn up.

Oh, we better get a doctor. It ain't no

good. He's been dead for hours. Let's

notify the sheriff.

[Music]

What? Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

Heat. Heat.

Doc. Doc.

Hey, Doc. Yeah. What's wrong? Eat Doc

Wilcox. Is there anything I can do? No.

No. He's dead in the door. Better

careful Doc. Thanks. I will.

Yes, Jane. We are safe.

But only you and I must know that he's

dead. Good night.

My legs hurt quite a little, Danny. I

know now Dr. Adrian is really going to

cure me. What if they hurt you? How can

you be getting better? Oh, you don't

understand, Danny. They never hurt

before. There was no feeling at all. Now

they feel alive.

Just the same. I don't like it. I don't

like things I can't understand. I don't

understand either, Danny. But I believe

in him. Oh, I have so much faith in him,

Danny. He says I'm like a daughter to

him, and well, I know he wouldn't hurt

me unless he had to. It's part of the

cure. It's just got to be

all right. I'll try to believe too,

honey. But I'd rather carry you around

all my life than have anything happen to

you.

[Music]

Hello, chef. Any luck? Not yet, but

we'll get him. Well, I hope so. Come on,

boy. Come

on. There. Looks like they picked up a

scent.

All right.

Well, what got into him? Hold on to a

minute, will you? Yeah, you bet. Hello,

Doc. I haven't seen anything of that

ape, have you? Well, no, I haven't,

Sheriff. Well, my dogs just acted as if

they'd picked up his scent. Oh, well, I

better be careful. Yeah, you better be.

Having trouble with insects, doc?

Yes. Uh this is just a little mixture of

my own I'm trying to get rid of them

with. Well, if it works, let me know. My

yard's full of them. Certainly will.

Thanks.

[Music]

Henry supper's

ready. Are you going out? Yeah. Oh, but

I made lamb stew at dumplings. I don't

care for lamb stew and dumplings. Thank

you. Besides, the sheriff wants us out

early to capture that ape.

You needn't lie. I know where you're

going. Oh, you do. Yes, everybody does.

So, you've been listening to gossip, eh?

I can't keep people from talking to me

and telling me you found a new interest.

Suppose I have. Well, there's nothing I

can do about it, I guess. Well, keep

that in mind. But if you just wouldn't

carry on here where we live so people

would stop pitying me, even if you'd go

somewhere else. Why don't you try going

somewhere else? But I have no one but

you. I have no folks. I've got no place

to go.

You got the

[Music]

river.

[Music]

Poor Mason. I feel sorry for his widow.

She's better off. Oh, that ain't funny

when a man's been clawed to death. I

didn't like him when he was alive, and I

don't see any reason to like him when

he's dead. Just the same. It ain't

right. Even if he was no good. We got to

give that ape credit. He only picks out

the ordinary cusses. What makes you

think you're safe?

Well, boys, you got yourselves some rest

today? About 40 wings. We're plum

tuckered out. Well, maybe we can get

some more people in to help us out. Why

don't we go out in the daylight? Because

he don't come out in the daytime. The

circus people told us we'd never get him

then. We got to catch him prowling after

dark. Think he's still hanging around

the village? He got Mason, didn't he?

And we found new tracks up around Dr.

Adrienne's house. Oh, give me a size

for two. What do you think of that,

Sheriff? Even the dogs don't like him.

Well, I got into him anyway. Act the

same way around his house. Don't make

sense. Maybe it's cuz the doc looks so

much like an ape himself.

This is no time for joking. All of you

be on the job

tonight. I'm scared. Mrs. Flip it. She

looks

almost I'm really scared. We must trust

Dr. Adrien. But we don't know. He ain't

got a patient in this town. People don't

just hate a fellow for nothing. Do you

hate him, Danny? No, it's not hating

him. It's It's loving Francis the way I

do. If anything happens to

her, I'm going down to see. I got to ask

him. I got to know.

Danny.

Danny's worried, isn't he? Mother, now

you just rest, dear. Danny will be all

right. Oh, my legs didn't hurt.

So, I'm not

afraid. You aren't, are you, mother? No,

darling. I want my little girl to walk

again.

You ain't going in there, Doc. Now, what

is this, Danny? I'm scared about her. I

got to know what you're doing. Well,

surely you want her to live a normal

life like other people. Well, sure. Long

as nothing happens to her. I love her

just the way she is, Doc. I can take

care of her. I want to take care of her.

I don't want no experimenting on her.

But Danny, if through her I could rid

the world of I'm not in love with the

world. But I'm in love with her. I get

it. She's just a guinea pig to you.

Well, you got to stop it. You got to

stop hurting her.

Have you been to your garage today? No,

I ain't. I've been too worried. Well,

you take care of your cars and I'll take

care of my patients now. Just you run

along. I ain't running no

place. I ain't no doctor and I don't

know enough about what you're doing. But

if anything happens to Francis,

nothing's going to happen to Francis.

Now, don't interfere.

Here comes Danny with the

doctor. How do you do, Dr. A? Doctor,

how is my patient feeling this morning?

I'm all right. She's been in great pain,

doctor.

In

pain? Well, that's good. Good. Of course

it is. That's what we're looking for.

Now, you prepare her.

work.

You say the name is Mason? Yeah. Yes,

doctor. Initial H. Anything in your

examination to go into my report? No, I

believe not. Well, I just said the death

was caused by a fractured vertebrae. I

guess that about covers it, doesn't it?

Yes, I I should say that it would. The

reason I sent for you, doctor, is

because you examined the circus trainer

when he was sent north. And this case

being a similar one to that, I thought

probably in your examination that you

had discovered something that I had

overlooked to put in my coroner's

report. I

see this Dr. Adrien, whose name is on

the death certificate. Is he the local

physician?

Yes, if you can call him one. Folks

around here don't like him much. And he

was also called in on the case of the

trainer. Yes. Yes, that's the same

fellow. He came here during the

paralysis epidemic, but the folks around

here say that he experiments too much.

Thank you very much,

Garner. I believe you've given me all

the information necessary. That's fine,

Francis. What do you feel? Oh, my legs.

They're hurting. Oh, they hurt terrible.

Have you more sensation than you had

yesterday? Oh, yes. Much more. Do you

think perhaps you could walk? Oh, no.

Then try to move your foot. Oh, I can't.

You can try. No, you can.

No, you can. No, you can.

Oh, mother.

It's working.

Now you rest. You rest and I'll be back

later.

Mother, I I know I'll be able to walk

again. I know, baby.

I know,

Dr.

Adrien. That's right. I'm Dr. McNelie

from the Robinson Foundation. Oh, yes. I

had occasion to examine the body of a

circus trainer who was killed by an ape

here in this town. Yes, sir. I

understand that you uh administered to

the wounded man before he died. I did my

best for him, but it it was quite

hopeless in spite of the spinal

injection you gave him. I gave him no

injection. I just came from viewing the

body of this man, Mason, and I noticed a

similar spinal puncture. Did you examine

him also? Well, they called me in, of

course, but it was too late. He was

dead. And you noticed no such puncture?

Well, the body was so badly mangled that

Well, no, I didn't. I see. I understand

they've had an epidemic of paralysis

here. That's true.

Many years ago, the Robinson Foundation

found it necessary to expel from the

institution a most promising young

research worker because of his daring

unorthodox experiments with spinal

fluid. It was 25 years ago to be exact.

Then you are that Dr. Bernard Adrien

whose definite theories and in spite of

what you did to me for 25 years I've

been engaged in proving those theories.

By what method have you been doing

this? I'm not in a position to disclose

that at the moment. I

see. Well, I'm afraid you leave me no

alternative but to report.

Wait, if I could give you some small

measure of proof, will you change your

mind? I doubt it. Let me show you.

I'll show

you. You can

see now. These two creatures were

completely paralyzed. But after my

treatments, well, you can see for

yourself they're as lively and healthy

as ever they were. All this has nothing

to do with the case. But it has. The

serum that I used. What became of the

serum you took from those two men?

Now you come with me.

Doctor, Mrs.

Clifford. Now, this is Dr. McNelte. How

do you do, doctor? I'd like to talk to

Francis. She's asleep. No, I'm not

asleep, mother.

Hello, Francis. Hello.

Now, this child has had a complete

paralysis of her lower limbs for 10

years. Is that right, Mrs. Griffith?

Yes, it is, doctor.

Have you had any feeling at all in your

limbs since uh Dr. Adrien has been

treating you? Yes. They've been terribly

heavy, and I've had a great deal of

pain. Pain? Yes. And just a little while

ago, I moved my foot. Is that right?

That's right.

Will you do it again for me? I can't.

Make an effort.

I can't.

Thank you. That's all.

I think you'd better take her out into

the sunshine.

Is anything wrong, doctor? Why no,

Francis dear? Of course

not. Well, her foot did not move, but I

did feel a definite muscular reflex.

Congratulations,

May I notify the foundation that that

you come back to

us? It's too

late. I have to stay here. At least give

me your promise to keep us informed of

your

progress every step of the way. Thank

you.

But it's not

finished. It's not finished.

[Music]

Gee, look f those. Do you see some?

Yeah. Yeah. Do you see the white of his

eyes? Baby, they ain't white. I'm going

to take a chance and shoot now.

Come here, Willie.

[Music]

I don't care how busy you are, Dead

Holiday. I want my Willie found. The

idea of him wandering around in the dark

with that gorilla which none of you men

seem able to capture. Oh, it's all your

nephew's fault. He's always leading my

little Willie astray. Well, he's always

under Mickey's. Oh, he's not going to.

Oh, ladies, we've got work to do. Your

kids are just someplace where they

shouldn't be. That ain't nothing new.

Have you looked down in Jones's barn? I

caught them smoking there last week.

We've searched the whole town. Go take a

look for him, peep. They ain't far away.

Sheriff. Sheriff. Sheriff. Where have

you been? Just went off. We got him. We

got him. Oh, what? What is it? Mickey

killed him and shot him dead. Bang bang

between the eyes. Hold it, kids. What'

you shoot him with, Mickey? My 22. I got

a good beat on him. Where's your 22,

Mickey? He dropped it, chair. I did not.

The ape grabbed it. Ape, you and I get

you home. Ah, Gar, don't you believe us?

Where'd you see him? On the pike about

a/4 mile from Doc Adrienne's house. All

right, get him home. Come on, Mickey.

Come on, get out. They probably shot a

cow. I look into it. Where are the dogs?

Red's got him over on the other side of

town. All right, let's go.

[Music]

Wait a minute, boys. I want a word with

the doctor. I'll be right out. Okay. All

right.

[Music]

Is the doctor

[Music]

[Music]

in

Yes. Well, good evening, Sheriff. Just

wanted to see if you were all right.

Ain't been out, have you? No. I'm trying

to think out, doctor. A lot of things.

That ape seems to take a fancy to your

place. Now, don't take offense, doctor.

I'm just trying to clear up my mind.

Them dogs of mine have been sniffing ape

for days. It's made them foolish, I

guess. else why they snarl at you.

Well, there may be some chemical odor on

my clothes that offended them. Uhhuh.

But I ain't never seen my dogs offended

at

anything. Can't understand it, doctor.

Wait a minute.

Jane, just get me that torn coat of the

trainers, will you?

Now, this is an idea that's just

occurred to me. I don't know whether it

makes sense or not, but perhaps it'll

explain your

problem. You see, this coat was worn by

the trainer when he was mowled by the

ape, and it's been in the house ever

since. Now, that perhaps explains the

interest of the ape in this house and

your dogs in me. No, then I'll bet

you're right. Well, I'll get along.

Think I'll put a few men around your

house the rest of the night, doctor,

just so you'll be protected. Don't

bother. I'm perfectly safe and they

might interfere with some work that I

have to do. Well, maybe I'll just keep

an eye out myself.

I'm just a bit scared, Doc. But don't

tell anybody about it.

[Music]

Got you. What's that? This is the coat

that trainer was wearing when the ape

killed him. Look at that. Got him.

Haven't been a struggle. Well, come on

now, boys. This isn't getting us

anywhere. We lay down on this job, our

own coats will be in the same shape.

Come on. Let's get busy now. You fellas

get back to your positions. Uh, you boys

go up this way. All right, I'll stay

here.

[Music]

I can't

fail. I can't fail.

Now, Francis,

dear, I want you to forget all the hours

you've spent in this chair. Put them out

of your mind. You're not paralyzed. You

never were. Fasten that firmly in your

mind. You're not paralyzed.

You do that for me? I'll try. Don't

forget you are not paralyzed.

Now

then move your right

leg. Move it. You can. I can't. Try.

Try. Stop earlier. I can't, Dr. Adrian.

Try it, Francis. You can. You know you

can move there. You moved it, didn't

you? You moved it. Now the left one. Now

the left one. Now move it. Try. Try

again. There. You move them. You moved

them both, didn't you, dear? All right,

then. Stand up and take a step towards

me. Do it. Do

it. It's only your mind holding you in

that chair, not your

body. Do it. I say do it.

You see, I told you. Go get her some

water. Oh, she's all right,

Danny. She's better than she was, isn't

she?

She needs

more. She needs

more. Take care of her.

Daddy, I'll be

back. Oh, Francis Dar.

Francis name is Holidayiday, sheriff

over to Red Creek. Had a job finding

you. Well, second jobs are pretty hard

to get, Sheriff. Oh, all jobs are kind

of scarce. You boys get that ape yet?

That's what I come about. Didn't get

him, huh? It's bad. He's a killer. You

boys got some responsibility tracking

him down, haven't you? Well, we did the

best we could, Sheriff. The fire broke

up the circus. Some of the boys stayed

there, didn't they? Yeah, but that's not

what I come about. I just figured when

you're looking for something, might help

to know its habits. Too many things

about this animal I don't understand.

Well, animals is all alike. Lions,

elephants, dogs, they all got one track

minds. What do these gorillas live on?

He ain't killed any animals. Sharks. No,

they won't touch an animal except out of

meanness. They live on fruits,

vegetables. That's what's bothered me.

What's feeding this fellow? Maybe

digging up a garden patch or two or

stealing a little bit of fruits. No

signs of it. Checked with all the

farmers. Do they prowl around much or do

they stick to one place? Well, a gorilla

generally sticks to one place if he's

got anything there to keep him. We see

evidence that this fell's hanging around

one place. Hey, that ape had it in for

the trainer. Where'd he die? In the

house of a doctor near the outskirts of

town, and that's the place we think the

apes have been hanging around. Say, how

would he uh trace the trainer to that

house? Well, sense of smell. They're

pretty good at that. Did you bury him in

town? No, he sent his body to his people

up north. That don't give us much, does

it? Any of his clothes around?

When that trainer was taken away, his

coat was left in the doctor's house.

Would that draw the ape there? It

certainly would. You better get rid of

them. I was afraid my time might be

wasted coming over here, but I guess it

ain't. Thanks very much, Mr. Howley. I

better be getting on the road. I'd like

to make home around nightfall. Well,

anything I can do for you, let me know.

Two

injections should have been enough.

[Music]

Take this record book and keep it for me

safely. One

more. One more.

[Music]

Pete, you two boys go over there by that

shop.

[Music]

Danny, take your men down there 100

yards by that rail fence. Okay. Oh,

Sheriff, we've been watching there every

night, and so far nothing's happened.

Now, I've been Will you take orders? All

right. All right.

You two boys go over by Will Cox's barn.

Yeah, you mean Will Cox's barn? Yes,

Will Cox's barn. All right.

You two boys go down the road 100 yards.

You two wait for me over by that stone

fence. All right, sir.

Is the doctor

here? You sure of

that? He's not in there.

[Music]

Say, Sheriff, what's the idea of

sticking around so close to the doc's

house? Because that attendant told me

that ape would haunt any place where

that trainer had been.

[Music]

Oh, hey, what's getting into that

sheriff? He's getting touchy.

lost his sense of

humor. You know, when a man can't laugh,

it's just

too where we found the body. Mhm.

Um, do apes ever return to the scene of

the crime? They're noted for it.

Well, we got something to look forward

to.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

George.

George. Marsh. George. What's the

matter? You've got me. Fire

shot. Come on.

Did you hear that shot? Yes. But you

told us not to leave here. Where was it?

That

[Music]

way. What is it? What's the matter? Did

you fire that shot? Yes. It's Tom. The

ape twisted his neck, but Archie knifed

him. Can you walk? Pick him up and carry

him. All right, go and get him. God, he

can't be far away. Come on. Get out. Get

away from you fellas. You boys come with

me.

[Music]

Doctor, look out. Doctor, the ape. The

ape. Doctor. The a doctor.

Do you hear that? Yeah.

Doctor. Dr. Adrien. Doctor.

[Music]

Oh, let me go. Don't stop me. No. No.

apprentice. I'll see what's happened.

Frances,

let me give him one, sir. Hold on.

That's enough. He's done.

What are they doing? What are they

saying, darling? I don't know.

It's the dog.

All right, boys. Take that off of him.

Let me through. Did the ape hurt him?

Let me

through. Let me

through. Dr.

Adrien

Francis, come to me,

child. Walk.

Walk

there. You see

He's dead,

boys.

Danny. No, wait, Danny.

[Music]

Honey, you you must overdo it. I'm doing

better every day, Danny. Oh, sure.

You're doing well. But you got to take

it easy. I'll get your chair. No, Danny.

Well, then I burned the chair yesterday.

I'm never going to use it again. You bet

you are.

[Music]
