1
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:56,180
over Shanghai.

2
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,300
That's right. Train's bound over
Shanghai.

3
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Hello. Hello. San Francisco Airport,
this is Union Newsreel. Is our Shanghai

4
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,200
film going to make the New York plane?

5
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,440
We're holding the New York plane for
your shipment.

6
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,360
Yes, the China Clipper's over the bay
now.

7
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:48,720
Okay, if you keep the old man waiting
much longer, you'll be leading with your

8
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,720
chin.

9
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:53,580
All right, Kitty, tell Mr. MacArthur
we're almost ready. What?

10
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,200
What do you mean, tell him?

11
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,100
Didn't you know Mr. MacArthur was in
Buffalo? You know... What are you

12
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,980
about? Buffalo? He was in my office a
half hour ago. I thought you and I...

13
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,940
I haven't lived with him for 15 years
without knowing he surrounds himself

14
00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:08,140
lies. I'm sorry, Mrs. MacArthur, but Mr.
MacArthur left. You tell him I'm here.

15
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:10,820
Just a minute. Tell him his wife was
here with her attorney. She's sailing

16
00:03:10,820 --> 00:03:14,300
Paris tonight. She will divorce him
there as soon as he meets our terms. And

17
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,080
before. Tell him I can't exist on $20
,000 a year. Yes, I can see you'd be

18
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,960
-pressed. Come along, Rodney. I'll not
be insulted by Neil Brinson. I leave the

19
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,840
matter entirely in your hands. For 15
years, she's bled the poor darling to

20
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,700
death in name only. Now she's going to
do it for long distance. Well, where is

21
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:27,740
he hiding out? Where do you suppose?

22
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,120
Across the... street. Get a hold of him.
Get a hold of him. Tell him I'll have

23
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,940
the Shanghai print on the machines in
exactly ten minutes. Yes, yes, the

24
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:35,880
machines, all the speed, the power, the
mad movement of it all.

25
00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:40,840
Mabel, in exactly eight and one half
minutes, call the boss at Gumpert

26
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,140
Tell him the tornado is over and
Shanghai is here.

27
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,420
And she said to tell you she was leaving
for Paris today.

28
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,500
Fine. I don't know who wins, but that's
the end of the 30 years war. But they

29
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:53,700
did say the financial arrangements were
not... Don't talk about that. That's my

30
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,260
cross. Let me carry it on my own time.

31
00:03:55,850 --> 00:03:58,990
All set, gentlemen? Ready in ten
seconds, Chief. Well, hurry it up, hurry

32
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:00,290
I've been waiting two weeks for this.

33
00:04:00,650 --> 00:04:04,410
Civilians being bombed from the air,
enemy planes diving over the rooftops,

34
00:04:04,430 --> 00:04:07,270
scraping the streets. Look, Miss
McCarter, I tried to see you to tell you

35
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:09,370
Keep quiet, keep quiet. I've got to
hunch this is going to be Hunter at his

36
00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:12,570
best. Remember that descendant of
Vesuvius? There was Chris with two legs

37
00:04:12,570 --> 00:04:15,890
broken, and I signed on 400 new
exhibitors. But, Chief, I don't want to

38
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:19,910
anything. Keep still. Ready, Chief. All
right, Master Hunter, entertain me.

39
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:21,810
Thrill me.

40
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
ladies and gentlemen, on the other side
of the world and all the ships at sea.

41
00:04:29,780 --> 00:04:32,700
There's new excitement in the Orient
while war rages overhead.

42
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,540
Pity sing, yum -yum, and no washing
humbles. What is this? Mr. MacArthur,

43
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:39,720
see... Wait, Scott, keep quiet. How can
I... But little do they realize that

44
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,160
they are marked as victims of the
biggest bombshell to hit Shanghai this

45
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,240
It is called the Big Apple.

46
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:49,260
What's that? What's he talking about?
Big Apple? Where's the bombing? I tried

47
00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:52,180
tell you, Mr. MacArthur. Well, cut this
stuff off. Put on the other reel.

48
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,680
This is all how to send in a thousand
feet of rain. Well, what is this? I wait

49
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,580
two weeks for a thousand feet of a big
Chinese apple? Say, what in the name

50
00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:03,480
of... Yeah, I know, I know, Gabby.
You're yelling like a boiled duck

51
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,480
didn't get your bombing shots.

52
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,980
But listen, Papa, this China war is too
hard to find.

53
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,440
So let me come home, Gabby. You and me
will be just in time for the beauty

54
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,520
contest in Atlantic City.

55
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:13,940
You remember the fun we had?

56
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Stop it!

57
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Stop it! Oh, what a letdown!

58
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:23,720
the business. It's terrible.

59
00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:25,700
Even the music is terrible.

60
00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:30,480
He supports nightclubs while our
competitors are giving us... Get me

61
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,480
at Atlas right away.

62
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:35,400
The whole Orient is aflame and he sends
me a screen test.

63
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:36,820
Take a cable to Hunter.

64
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,320
Listen, clown.

65
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,000
In future, stay in back of your camera.

66
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:46,160
Send me shots of bombings and assorted
outrages or send me resignation.

67
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:51,240
Stop. Hire Rick Shaw or Junk or
something and catch up with the war.

68
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:52,770
Stop. Hello,

69
00:05:54,530 --> 00:05:55,530
Perley.

70
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:56,730
How's everything?

71
00:05:57,290 --> 00:06:01,630
Good. Did you get any bombing shots from
Shanghai this week? Oh, yes, we did.

72
00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:03,010
Bill Dennis sent in some nice stuff.

73
00:06:03,810 --> 00:06:05,390
Oh, he did, eh? Fine.

74
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:09,450
Huh? Yeah, Chris Hunter sent in some
swell stuff, too.

75
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,070
I'm not going to release it this week,
though.

76
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:16,110
No, he's sending in some more next week,
and I'm going to release it all in one

77
00:06:16,110 --> 00:06:17,110
swell clip.

78
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:18,350
Say, that's a good idea.

79
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:20,090
I'm expecting more from Dennis.

80
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:22,810
I'll hold my own stuff and we'll bring
it out together, eh?

81
00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:26,670
Fine. I just thought I'd compare with
you, Pearlie. Well, so long.

82
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:29,470
He didn't get anything either.

83
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:31,450
Take a cable to Dennis.

84
00:06:31,930 --> 00:06:32,930
Mr. Dennis.

85
00:06:33,530 --> 00:06:38,430
We can't pay your salary for what you
claim is a long shot of Chinese infantry

86
00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:39,430
in full retreat.

87
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:42,750
For all we know, there may be an army of
mice.

88
00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:48,470
Just talk to MacArthur and learn that
Hunter is making a bigger monkey out of

89
00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:49,550
you than your parents did.

90
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Stop. We want action and bombing
thrills.

91
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:56,460
Cut that down to 15 snarling words and
file it. Rush.

92
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,740
There go a couple more of them. Come on
down here, you Tokyo titmills. My boss

93
00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:07,639
wants it closer.

94
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,880
Wouldn't you know it, the bell on the
camera rings all day. So you're afraid

95
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,100
a few anti -aircraft guns, eh?

96
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:15,820
Yeah, and there ought to be a law
against bombers flying so high.

97
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,240
What are you guys squawking about?
You're drawing your pay, aren't you?

98
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,939
three cards.

99
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:23,560
Yeah, I suppose you don't have to get
any bombing shots. I suppose you've got

100
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,560
yours already.

101
00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:27,200
Still burning about that cable you got
from Pearly Todd, eh, William?

102
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:30,280
Look, every day's been like today. Two
miles high if they've been an inch. If

103
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,660
you've sent anything in, it's been a
fake.

104
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:33,460
Fake?

105
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,320
That's an ugly four -letter word,
William.

106
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,800
I'll check it to you, Major. Oh, yeah?
Well, how about that time in Ethiopia?

107
00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:43,170
Those two generals coming out of Hailey
Selassie's palace after being decorated.

108
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:46,790
Don't resent being scooped on that one,
huh? Sure, after I found out they were a

109
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:49,810
couple of Greek waiters in bed sheets
with shoe black and all over their

110
00:07:49,810 --> 00:07:52,670
sure I do. How you got like those? You
never catch them, you'll crease me to

111
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:56,010
fake. Look, that sound outfit of yours
will catch a lot of things that never

112
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:57,910
happen if you stick around to that mug
much longer.

113
00:07:58,170 --> 00:08:00,470
Never mind the bouquets, Jose. Get on
that sound outfit.

114
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,670
So you're going to tap me, are you,
Major?

115
00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:07,830
I wonder what you got.

116
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:09,980
I wonder.

117
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,120
He don't got nothing.

118
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,680
He just make the bluff.

119
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,300
You know, I'm inclined to think you're
bluffing, Major.

120
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,600
I called.

121
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,080
Her queen.

122
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,960
What, how got you? What, how got you?
That's what I thought.

123
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,420
Well, I'll take my money back.

124
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:28,200
Put the rest of that in the beer fund.

125
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,940
And I'm locking up and heading for home.

126
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,960
Pack up like I showed you, Jose.

127
00:08:35,179 --> 00:08:36,179
Okey -dokies.

128
00:08:37,419 --> 00:08:38,820
I've had enough of it. Me too.

129
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,179
What do you think, Bill? Is there any
use to wait on here?

130
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:45,560
Well, maybe the guy's right for once. It
does look useless.

131
00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:46,860
Pack him up, Parson.

132
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:47,940
See you every dinner.

133
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,100
Food in that hotel sure insults your
stomach.

134
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
The boat's in. We'll get some fresh
fish. Take care of that, Noah.

135
00:09:15,690 --> 00:09:16,309
Ah, baby.

136
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:17,430
Come to papa, baby.

137
00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:19,110
But I'm going to stay here, boss.

138
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:21,870
Ah, no. Oh, dear.

139
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:31,670
Me too.

140
00:09:31,930 --> 00:09:34,570
How do you like it, Lannis? That's the
way you get bombing shots.

141
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:36,870
All I can say is I'm sorry he didn't get
you.

142
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,250
Boy, you boys didn't miss that, did you?

143
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:41,330
Well, now, isn't that a shame?

144
00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:43,310
Look out, here comes the papa.

145
00:09:57,460 --> 00:09:58,560
Boss. Boss.

146
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:03,780
Are you hurt, didn't you? No, no, no.
What are you doing? Was that first shot

147
00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:06,840
honey, baby? The best I ever made in my
life. Are you giving it a mud bath?

148
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,120
What?

149
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:12,480
Well, I guess I don't live right.

150
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:22,420
Hold it.

151
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,440
Hold it. Hold it. Hold everything.

152
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:25,740
Cut it.

153
00:10:26,390 --> 00:10:28,270
Oh, my show, will you stop that racket?

154
00:10:28,650 --> 00:10:32,410
Charlie, will you throw the plane so the
shadow of it goes across her face?

155
00:10:32,610 --> 00:10:36,650
This is supposed... This is supposed to
be an enemy bomber, the shadow of doom,

156
00:10:36,690 --> 00:10:38,090
and you landed gently in her lap.

157
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:40,770
Next time I throw, very high down, boss.

158
00:10:41,090 --> 00:10:42,950
Now, William, you know what I want you
to do, don't you?

159
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:44,310
Sure, boss.

160
00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:45,390
What?

161
00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:49,870
Swing the sail so the shadow goes across
your daughter's face.

162
00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:51,170
She's my niece.

163
00:10:51,290 --> 00:10:54,230
Well, I don't care if she's your aunt.
And tell her to sit there and hug the

164
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:55,199
little dog.

165
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,440
She like a drink of water.

166
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,680
She just had one.

167
00:10:57,860 --> 00:10:58,880
She like another one.

168
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Look, explain to her. As the shadow of
the plane goes across her face, she must

169
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,380
hug the little dog. She loves the little
dog. She don't like the little dog.

170
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,420
Well, she's got to pretend to like him,
to be crazy about him. Boss, she don't

171
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:11,420
like him at all.

172
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Tootsie, Tootsie, you love the little
dog. The little dog loves you.

173
00:11:18,620 --> 00:11:19,700
Give me nickel, give me dime.

174
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,400
All right, all right.

175
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:23,900
Now listen.

176
00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:25,509
Hey, hey.

177
00:11:25,510 --> 00:11:27,210
Willie, will you tell your father to
stay awake?

178
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:30,330
He's my uncle. I don't care what he is.
Tell him to stay awake. And look,

179
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:33,890
explain to him that when I say now, he's
to set off the firecrackers.

180
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:37,610
Does he understand?

181
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:41,810
He understands very good. Good. Look,
you're to set off the firecrackers the

182
00:11:41,810 --> 00:11:43,670
very instant that I say now.

183
00:11:44,050 --> 00:11:45,490
Now? Now, Charlie.

184
00:11:46,190 --> 00:11:47,730
No, no, no, not now.

185
00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:50,370
Okay,

186
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:53,610
so you're an anarchist. Willie, come
here. Let's understand what's going to

187
00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:54,610
happen here.

188
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,800
When the plane goes over her head, the
bombs go off.

189
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:01,960
Joselito pulls this rope, and all this
dirt and wood falls down like an

190
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,720
explosion in front of the camera. Now,
Willie, will you explain that to

191
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,540
everybody? All right. Now, look

192
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:13,000
at that sound equipment.

193
00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:14,820
My ears, they're paralyzed.

194
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,680
Oh, that's fine. How do you expect to
get on this business if you can't take a

195
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,880
little thing like a... Holy mackerel!

196
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:22,360
Tutsi, will you get back on...

197
00:12:24,330 --> 00:12:25,330
You stay there.

198
00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:30,290
Willie, I'm going to try and take it
now. Why did I have to do this the hard

199
00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:32,990
way? Why couldn't I have found a nice,
quiet bombardment up at the front?

200
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:35,430
Okay, boss, wait till I make them hot. I
think this time we go places.

201
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:38,750
Just a minute. I'll pull the rope
myself. I'm not taking any more chances.

202
00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:41,210
Listen, son, I can't be bothered with
you anymore.

203
00:12:41,710 --> 00:12:45,190
All right, now, Willie, I'm going to try
and get this. Now, remember, don't

204
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:47,670
throw the shadow until I throw my hand
up like this.

205
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:49,930
All right, Charlie, get ready up there.

206
00:12:56,290 --> 00:12:58,070
Me see you here now boss

207
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:15,670
That's

208
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:20,530
all ling Here it is fellas Here's what
this guy got that the home offices are

209
00:13:20,530 --> 00:13:23,960
our tails about any of those remember
anything like that happening All I know

210
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,860
I nearly got the gate for not getting
it. That is a terrific subject.

211
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,760
Magnifique. I don't blame the boss for
giving me the works.

212
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,959
Where'd you get it, Hunter?

213
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,000
You mean, where'd he fake it?

214
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Fake? Why, William, there's that word
again. If you put all our heads in the

215
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,160
meat grinder by turning into fake...
Fake, you should have was there. The

216
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,980
planes, they swoop down like the
bumblebees, and the bombs, they bust

217
00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:42,640
firecrackers. Yeah, exactly.

218
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,860
Follow me around someday, boys, and I'll
show you there's a war going on. I

219
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:47,240
don't have to stage a war in China.

220
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Let me have a look at that background.

221
00:13:51,950 --> 00:13:53,410
Yes. Bye -bye. Go away now.

222
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:56,590
Miss Sally, be telling her to get away
from here. Yes.

223
00:13:57,650 --> 00:13:59,570
Hey, wait a minute.

224
00:13:59,790 --> 00:14:01,030
Let me have a look at you, sister.

225
00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:05,150
It's the same kid that's in this
picture. Sure, it's the same kid. I

226
00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:07,450
her. You don't think I'm going to leave
her down with a river, an orphan?

227
00:14:07,690 --> 00:14:12,590
You, uh, you adopt... Listen, darling,
tell me. Did you play with the hunter

228
00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:15,650
man, you know, fly your airplane away up
in the air and play in pictures?

229
00:14:16,030 --> 00:14:17,070
Yes, he said, I.

230
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:18,670
Shanghai Shirt Temple.

231
00:14:19,070 --> 00:14:20,070
I.

232
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,520
Well, we got you cold, Hunter. It's the
same kid, a prop airplane, and the same

233
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,040
father. He's not her father. He's her
uncle. Say, Hunter, listen. Now listen

234
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,140
this while teacher talks.

235
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,260
Back at the camera, there must be an
artist.

236
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:34,900
Now, isn't it conceivable that somewhere
in China, a child washes her puppy

237
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,020
amidst the chaos of war?

238
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,500
I didn't distort the truth.

239
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,180
I merely heightened the composition.

240
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:42,800
Or something. You know what can happen
to artists like you, don't you? Sure.

241
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,140
Take Rembrandt. He died in a cellar
without a dime. Come on, Shirley, old

242
00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:48,440
Give me nickel. Give me five. Can you
imagine that?

243
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,000
I'd love to hang out on that guy. You
suppose we could find some friendly

244
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,820
machine gunner? Well, that settles it,
fellas. There's only one thing to do.

245
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,700
We've got to get a big subject and
freeze that guy out of it. What are you

246
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:58,539
to get?

247
00:14:58,540 --> 00:15:02,260
I've got it. I've got it, cholera. You
got some way to give him cholera? No,

248
00:15:02,260 --> 00:15:03,260
no. Come here now, listen.

249
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,930
Look. We're going to have a shortage of
cholera serum in China. We've got our

250
00:15:07,930 --> 00:15:11,510
own mercy flyer to fly it in here. We're
in on it. He isn't. Play it up big and

251
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,930
maybe they'll yank him back to New York
in the doghouse. But they've got plenty

252
00:15:13,930 --> 00:15:16,810
of cholera serum. We start faking
ourselves and we'll be stepping in his

253
00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:19,330
Just this once. We've got to fight that
guy with his own knife for the good of

254
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:19,949
the business.

255
00:15:19,950 --> 00:15:22,310
But where are you going to get a mercy
flyer? What guy can you get... This is

256
00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:23,229
the topper.

257
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:24,870
I've got the flyer. And Mr.

258
00:15:25,150 --> 00:15:28,290
Fakeroo Hunter will be left out in the
snowdrift minus his breeches. Come on.

259
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,300
Here it comes. Ah, you're crazy. Yeah,
there it is. Right ahead.

260
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,720
Yep, that's it. That's the crate all the
way from Manila. Light the flares

261
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,660
there. Okay. Yep, right on the dot. Oh,
that ship's got a pilot that always

262
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:43,520
delivers. Over a thousand miles of
ocean.

263
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,400
Get set. In two minutes, it'll be
taxiing right into your lap.

264
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,640
Gee, this is great.

265
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,460
Are you sure Hunter can't get by the
gate?

266
00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:50,880
Not a chance.

267
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Poor old Hunter. I'm beginning to feel
sorry for the rat.

268
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,610
You're sure you understand now as soon
as he hits the ground start forcing him

269
00:16:14,610 --> 00:16:16,870
over to the other side of the field I
don't want to get near those flares or

270
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:20,330
cameras down there can't do can't do
can't do but don't get too close to it

271
00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:26,730
understand I Was waiting to give me a
sound level hope you don't get your

272
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:27,730
go ahead

273
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,480
Listen, Gabby, I've got no idea what's
coming in here. I don't know what plane

274
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,720
it is or who's in it. All I know is it
must be something high class because the

275
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,100
kindergarten is trying to give me the
business.

276
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,440
Now hold your hat.

277
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,960
Let's go!

278
00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:49,920
Wait, what's happening here?

279
00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:51,480
It's Hunter. It's Hunter and he's
blocking us out.

280
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,580
They have something that I can't
believe, but I can't believe it! What?

281
00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:14,710
Keep your sound on.

282
00:17:22,970 --> 00:17:24,829
Come on, you've got to get out of here.

283
00:17:26,250 --> 00:17:27,730
Take it easy now, you're all right.

284
00:17:28,270 --> 00:17:30,030
I pulled driver off his head.

285
00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:31,650
Those tanks will blow in a minute.

286
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:34,310
What did you expect him to do, you
clumsy jackass?

287
00:17:34,910 --> 00:17:35,910
Well, hello.

288
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:38,650
What are you doing? I brought your darn
cholera serum.

289
00:17:39,130 --> 00:17:40,009
Cholera serum?

290
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:41,010
Well, I didn't know.

291
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,720
There, monsieur, I've got you. Don't
throw him in there. It's all a tank.

292
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
What?

293
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:52,120
And I thought you said... Just your
phonies. You supply me in here.

294
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:53,500
Come on, let's get away from this.

295
00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:58,100
All right, sister, now what's it all
about? What's the matter with you?

296
00:17:58,420 --> 00:18:00,320
You knew Bill Dennis framed this, didn't
you?

297
00:18:00,620 --> 00:18:03,280
Or are you just five times dumber than
you look? Hey, listen, pal, I don't know

298
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,380
anything about that. I don't work with
Dennis and his phonies. I was only

299
00:18:06,380 --> 00:18:09,400
to get a shot, that's all. And my fool
driver hadn't lost his head. Okay, okay,

300
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,920
well, it doesn't matter now. Alma, Alma.

301
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:13,830
Are you all right? Are you hurt,
darling? Oh, Bill, I'm fine. I'm great.

302
00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:16,690
Well, I saw that plane cracking up while
I... Sure, you had it all fixed, didn't

303
00:18:16,690 --> 00:18:18,890
you? Couldn't miss, could you? Well,
honey, everything would have been all

304
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:19,889
if it hadn't been for this.

305
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:22,690
Why didn't you toss a bomb on a ship and
blow it up? It was an accident, you

306
00:18:22,690 --> 00:18:25,470
yap. I was only trying to get a shot. I
didn't know what was... An accident? Do

307
00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:28,170
you hear that? Bill, whatever happened,
if it hadn't been for this man, I'd be

308
00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:30,830
in that cockpit right now. Alma, there's
one thing you've got to get straight

309
00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:31,830
right here and now. Bill, stop.

310
00:18:32,530 --> 00:18:33,750
Yelling isn't going to do any good.

311
00:18:34,270 --> 00:18:36,030
All I know is there goes everything.

312
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:38,590
There's something I don't like to look
at, boys.

313
00:18:39,470 --> 00:18:42,530
I think I crumpled the old wing a little
bit. So if there's a country doctor

314
00:18:42,530 --> 00:18:45,510
around here... Well, sure, sure. Stop
squawking and take her over to the field

315
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:48,150
hospital. Oh, I'm sorry, honey, but when
I saw what this guy had done... Look

316
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:50,390
out! That's a sore arm. Oh, gee whiz,
darling.

317
00:18:50,770 --> 00:18:53,970
I don't know who you are outside of a
guy with a very bad chauffeur, but I'm

318
00:18:53,970 --> 00:18:56,690
Alma Harding. Yes, I've heard of you,
Miss Harding. I'm Chris Hunter. Okay,

319
00:18:56,750 --> 00:18:59,590
Chris. From here on, I'll never be able
to thank you. Yeah, well, I'll do that

320
00:18:59,590 --> 00:19:01,410
for you, darling. The first chance I
get.

321
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Don't let him get off the grounds and
keep his equipment here, too.

322
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:08,740
He no go away.

323
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Hey,

324
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:11,720
Bills, put the cops on me.

325
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,100
Go on, beat it down the field.

326
00:19:15,860 --> 00:19:18,240
Popov, this is for you. Listen to what
I'm saying and get it straight.

327
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:19,900
Cut this film like it was the Hope
Diamond.

328
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,260
Make it look as if the girl really flew
this here into Shanghai.

329
00:19:22,660 --> 00:19:26,260
Savvy, if you do, she'll be a bonanza
for us, a goldmine. And listen, Popov,

330
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,060
before you show this to Gabby, cut out
that soundtrack where she says it's all

331
00:19:29,060 --> 00:19:31,440
fake and destroy it. He'd never handle
her if he thought she wasn't on the

332
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,100
level. Rosalita, keep the sound going.

333
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:34,540
Get up here with some fresh film.

334
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Okay, Popoff, leave this on for Gabby.

335
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,000
Hello, Gabby. How was that for pretty
pictures?

336
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:42,840
Listen, I'm coming home, see? And when I
do, I'm bringing Alma herself.

337
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:45,760
Yeah, she's a comic little dame who
thinks she's a man flying around the

338
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,320
with grease on her face and her hands in
her pockets. But maybe I can show her

339
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,320
how it feels to be a woman.

340
00:19:49,420 --> 00:19:52,520
I'll make her the darling of Union
Newsreel, Gabby. That million -dollar

341
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,420
that you and I and the stockholders can
split three ways.

342
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,200
Okay, get that magazine off there.

343
00:19:58,360 --> 00:19:59,500
This is what they're after, did you?

344
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:08,790
You wait, please.

345
00:20:08,890 --> 00:20:11,630
Well, hello, boys. Who do you like in
the derby? You no leave airport.

346
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:14,310
You no take away ambulance. Well, who
wants to take away the ambulance? I'm

347
00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:16,410
going over to the hospital and make some
pictures of the pretty young lady.

348
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:17,710
Me no leave picture box.

349
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:19,450
All right, pal. You come right along
with me.

350
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:21,670
Rosalita, better bring along another
film.

351
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:23,370
Amscray.

352
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:25,190
Scrambola.

353
00:20:28,530 --> 00:20:31,690
Say, any of you guys with film better
clear out before the next ray goes on.

354
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:34,890
Bill, this is silly. I don't need an X
-ray. There's nothing broken. But I want

355
00:20:34,890 --> 00:20:37,190
to be sure. I'll never forgive myself
for getting you into this.

356
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Take a deep breath, please.

357
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,760
Hold it.

358
00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:42,399
Thank you.

359
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,179
Listen, Alma.

360
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:45,700
You and I have known each other since we
were kids together, haven't we? Your ma

361
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:48,200
used to give me bread and butter and
maple sugar. Now, you've never known me

362
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,159
lie to you, have you?

363
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,100
This is the only shady thing I ever saw
you in, Bill, and look what happened.

364
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:55,680
Only I'm the stooge that pays off, I
guess. Honey, you won't have to pay off.

365
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,760
You can sue him and his company. Every
guy in this room will swear that that

366
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560
dog deliberately... Here, here, here.
What's going on? Trying to be a bunch of

367
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,120
pals, giving me a big build -up instead
of taking care of the little lady?

368
00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:06,900
Does that thing hurt you much? No, it's
just a little sprain, really.

369
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,020
Well, if it were anything worse, I'd
pack up my gear forever, honest. Yeah,

370
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:12,920
four -fleshing ghoul. Why, you'd haunt a
grave for a piece of film you...

371
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,400
They've admitted that they tried to
freeze you out of a shot of my landing.

372
00:21:16,580 --> 00:21:19,920
That's it, isn't it? Well, I depend on
my own resources, Miss Harding. I'm sort

373
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,880
of a lone wolf, I guess. Yeah, a wolf is
right. Listen, Alvin, you've got to get

374
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,880
this straight. Bill, please.

375
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,580
They say you hazed me into that gully on
purpose, even at the risk of turning me

376
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:29,439
into a bonfire.

377
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,500
What? You mean you think that I... I
haven't forgotten you saved my life.

378
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,380
But if you deliberately crack me up, me
and just about everything I've got to

379
00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:40,360
live for, for a few feet of film, well,
that's pretty cheap, eh, mister?

380
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:42,540
Yeah, well, how are you going to answer
that, cutie?

381
00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:45,340
Here's how.

382
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Here's the film.

383
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,980
Probably the greatest stuff that's ever
been shot since somebody embedded a

384
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:53,520
lens. Just to set this little girl's
mind at rest, which is plenty more than

385
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520
sick room butchers are willing to do,
I'll show her that a piece of film means

386
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,520
nothing to me.

387
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,560
And one to grow on.

388
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:02,550
There you are, Galahad. All black.

389
00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:05,050
Okay, that got me. You win.

390
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:06,690
You didn't have to destroy the film.

391
00:22:07,010 --> 00:22:10,270
Now look, the doctor wants to fix you
up. Don't you, doctor? Yes, come to the

392
00:22:10,270 --> 00:22:11,089
next room.

393
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:13,670
You didn't have to destroy it. All you
had to do was say whether... Actions

394
00:22:13,670 --> 00:22:16,110
speak louder than words. Now come on,
you better get yourself taped up.

395
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:21,150
Thanks. I guess I am a little rocky.
That's a lot more than I do. It's too

396
00:22:21,150 --> 00:22:22,510
for me. Come on, let's have a drink.

397
00:22:22,910 --> 00:22:25,130
Hey, can you answer that one? Him
inside?

398
00:22:25,450 --> 00:22:29,590
Yeah. He's burned the film he just made,
yeah. He went like he'd cut his own

399
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:31,370
throat. What do you mean? I just saw it.
Hey, look.

400
00:22:31,870 --> 00:22:34,750
Let me go outside, eh? Then I'm going to
buy you a little drink. We go to the

401
00:22:34,750 --> 00:22:36,810
cantina and we wet our whistles, eh? No,
no.

402
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:40,850
But we stay cool out here. It's nice and
warm in there. Light it. Light it.

403
00:22:41,410 --> 00:22:42,410
Help!

404
00:22:43,090 --> 00:22:44,090
Help! Help!

405
00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:45,590
Help! Help!

406
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:47,110
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help!

407
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:48,830
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!

408
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:49,830
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!

409
00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:56,589
Foreign people.

410
00:22:56,590 --> 00:22:57,590
Fairly solid.

411
00:23:00,070 --> 00:23:01,790
I brought your darn cholera serum.

412
00:23:02,190 --> 00:23:03,109
Cholera serum?

413
00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:04,110
Well, I didn't know.

414
00:23:04,130 --> 00:23:05,550
Here, from back here. Are you crazy?

415
00:23:05,950 --> 00:23:08,070
Here, I thought you... There's no
sitting in there. It's all a thing.

416
00:23:08,410 --> 00:23:12,310
What? But I thought you said... Just
your funny excuse to fly me in here.

417
00:23:12,570 --> 00:23:13,670
Come on, let's get away from this.

418
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:16,190
Hold it.

419
00:23:16,270 --> 00:23:19,790
Cut it right there. And look, save that
stuff where she says the serum gag's a

420
00:23:19,790 --> 00:23:22,270
fake, see? And the rest goes out in
tomorrow's clipper. You know Hunter was

421
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:25,370
right? Your girl will be a sensation
when this hits the screen. That's the

422
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:29,170
greatest running shot of a plane crash I
ever made, Mr. Parsons. Get it? I ever

423
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:33,090
made. Say, what about Hunter's sound
pack? You know, where he talks about the

424
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:36,750
gal to MacArthur? And I want to save
that, too. Not that I'd ever show a

425
00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:37,830
speech like that to anyone.

426
00:23:38,090 --> 00:23:41,370
Except Alma, of course. She's going to
see what kind of a heel that guy really

427
00:23:41,370 --> 00:23:46,010
is. So we'd sign her up for union, eh?
All right, New York. All right, New

428
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:47,049
We're ready to send.

429
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:50,270
Sean and I, we're ready to send, New
York. Telephoto coming through. Look,

430
00:23:50,270 --> 00:23:51,270
it. What's your caption on that?

431
00:23:51,879 --> 00:23:55,600
Girls Saved from Burning Plain by
cameraman Chris Hunter. Next.

432
00:23:56,020 --> 00:23:56,999
Hello, New York.

433
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,620
Look, I want to change that caption.

434
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:05,060
Make it read, uh, Girls Saved from
Burning Plain by unknown beachcomber.

435
00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:07,160
Unknown beachcomber?

436
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,780
That's Hunter, I tell you.

437
00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:12,360
I'd know that big chassis of his
anyplace. Well, if it is, he left his

438
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:15,520
He didn't shoot it. Don't you worry. He
covered with someone. Hunter wouldn't

439
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,400
leave his camera if his grandmother was
on fire.

440
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Get him on the phone.

441
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,920
Try every place in Shanghai, but get
him.

442
00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:25,140
Careful. This is still breakfast for me,
you know.

443
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:29,180
Good for what ails you. Well, here's to
fools and flops.

444
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,580
Say, how did a girl like you get mixed
up in that phony stunt last night?

445
00:24:32,780 --> 00:24:33,980
I was held up in Manila.

446
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:38,020
Dennis staged this serum flight to get
me clearance over the war zone.

447
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:39,860
How'd you get to Manila in the first
place?

448
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,280
I was flying that little plane around
the world for the Faircraft Aviation

449
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,880
Company to prove that any gal can circle
the globe in a Faircraft.

450
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,940
And that doesn't mean burning up halfway
around the track.

451
00:24:50,590 --> 00:24:51,830
What were you going to get out of it?

452
00:24:53,130 --> 00:24:57,150
Ever hear of my brother, Harry Harding?
The flyer? The boy lost down in the

453
00:24:57,150 --> 00:24:58,310
Amazon a while back? Yes.

454
00:24:59,270 --> 00:25:02,270
If the flight had been a success, the
Faircraft people were going to back an

455
00:25:02,270 --> 00:25:04,650
expedition for me to go down to the
Amazon and find him.

456
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:07,510
Look here, isn't it pretty well
established that your brother... I know.

457
00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:10,670
You're going to tell me he's dead,
aren't you?

458
00:25:11,090 --> 00:25:14,330
Well, I... Two or three polite
governments have told me that, too.

459
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:15,990
But I know he's alive.

460
00:25:16,670 --> 00:25:17,670
How do you know that?

461
00:25:18,909 --> 00:25:21,130
Wouldn't you know if someone close to
you were dead?

462
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:26,630
Ever since Harry and I were kids
together, I've known how he was, how he

463
00:25:26,810 --> 00:25:28,610
whether he was in trouble.

464
00:25:30,010 --> 00:25:31,010
He's my brother.

465
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:35,930
And something... something inside tells
me he's still alive.

466
00:25:36,750 --> 00:25:39,570
I've got one job to do, and that's to
find him.

467
00:25:40,550 --> 00:25:47,310
That's why last night's crack -up
means... Well, I guess I mustn't talk

468
00:25:47,310 --> 00:25:48,530
it. I'm glad you did.

469
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:52,790
Now, what are your plans? Oi, Alma,
honey.

470
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:57,350
Bill, look out my hat. Oh, sorry. Well,
I've got everything all fixed.

471
00:25:57,610 --> 00:26:01,450
What? I just called my boss, Pearlie
Todd. You know, you've made quite a

472
00:26:01,450 --> 00:26:05,410
in the papers back home. And Pearlie's
offered you a job 200 a week flying for

473
00:26:05,410 --> 00:26:06,770
Atlas Newsreel. Bill, no.

474
00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:08,070
Yeah. When do I start?

475
00:26:08,290 --> 00:26:11,510
Where? Anytime, either here or New York.
Now, look, take a couple of weeks, get

476
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:13,810
all rested up, and then you can decide.
Oh, I don't need any rest.

477
00:26:14,130 --> 00:26:16,090
Well, then that settles everything.

478
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:20,000
Oh, say, Pearlie's calling the lab about
four o 'clock, and I'd like to have you

479
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520
there to talk to him. That's a half an
hour. Can you make it? You know I will.

480
00:26:22,660 --> 00:26:23,740
I'll have her there with him.

481
00:26:24,260 --> 00:26:27,960
Well, now, Christopher, that's awfully
sweet of you, and I appreciate it very,

482
00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:29,560
very much more than I can tell you.

483
00:26:29,820 --> 00:26:33,240
But I've got a little piece of film I
want you to see, honey, and I'm afraid

484
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,860
we'll have to leave his nibs out of this
because he's your opposition now.

485
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,400
Hello, opposition.

486
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Well, I won't horn in on you two
anymore.

487
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,380
You know, Pearlie's quite excited about
this.

488
00:26:41,780 --> 00:26:44,560
I'm amazed that you haven't thought of
signing her up for unions.

489
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:46,600
See you at four, honey. Right.

490
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Oh, gee, that's marvelous.

491
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,440
Trust old Bill to come through when a
gal's down.

492
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:53,200
What do you do when you fly from Israel?

493
00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:54,780
I was so excited I forgot to ask.

494
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,540
Well, I don't know how Atlas will handle
you. Of course, they aren't a great...

495
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:00,040
The New York call is through, Mr.
Hunter.

496
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:01,940
Yes, all right. I'll take it to the...
No.

497
00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:03,620
I'll take it here.

498
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Will you excuse me? Of course.

499
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,360
You and Bill are old friends, huh? Yes.
What do you mean about Atlas now?

500
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:10,360
Anything more than that?

501
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:11,660
Huh? Hello?

502
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:14,360
I mean between you and Bill. Bill
Dennis?

503
00:27:16,270 --> 00:27:17,950
The best friend a girl ever had.

504
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:19,810
Of course, sometimes.

505
00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:23,890
Why should I be trying to answer a
question like that?

506
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:25,910
Well, uh... Hello?

507
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:27,230
Hello! Chris!

508
00:27:27,670 --> 00:27:28,730
Say, where have you been?

509
00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:30,670
I've been trying to get you all night.

510
00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:32,510
What? What's that music?

511
00:27:33,450 --> 00:27:36,910
Oh, never mind, never mind. Did you get
the hard ink cracker? Yes, yes, of

512
00:27:36,910 --> 00:27:39,610
course I got it. But listen, Gabby, I
burned it.

513
00:27:39,810 --> 00:27:40,810
I didn't get that.

514
00:27:41,050 --> 00:27:42,050
What?

515
00:27:42,210 --> 00:27:44,830
Stop it. Stop clowning, Chris. It's too
expensive.

516
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:46,940
When are you sending it in?

517
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,160
Don't you get it?

518
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,420
I burned it. Understand? I burned it.

519
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,140
Must be the connection or something.

520
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Hey, are you serious?

521
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:55,780
But listen, Gabby, I had to.

522
00:27:55,980 --> 00:27:58,960
Oh, heck, you're in Dutch, aren't you?
Yes, yes, I'm sitting here with her now,

523
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,280
and she's a charming, decent girl.

524
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,360
The boys had her upset a little, and
just to prove that Union was on the

525
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,580
and didn't give a darn about profiting
by other people's misfortune, I took the

526
00:28:06,580 --> 00:28:08,740
matter into my own hands and burned the
film, that's all.

527
00:28:08,980 --> 00:28:11,900
What are you talking... Have you been
drinking?

528
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,690
No. So I'm fired, am I? He can't do
that. All right, Gabby, if that's the

529
00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:19,350
you feel about it. No, I didn't say you
were fired, Chris.

530
00:28:19,710 --> 00:28:22,450
Here, let me explain. Okay, Mr.
MacArthur, go ahead and run me out of

531
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:24,930
business. But get this, I'd do the same
thing over again, understand?

532
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:27,190
I've got a heart in my body, not a cash
register.

533
00:28:28,130 --> 00:28:29,350
Chris! Chris!

534
00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:32,990
Why didn't you let me talk to him? Now,
you can't do anything over the phone.

535
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:34,350
He's an eccentric old pinwheel.

536
00:28:35,470 --> 00:28:38,190
Of course, if you were in New York where
he could see you and talk to you,

537
00:28:38,210 --> 00:28:39,210
things would be different.

538
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,540
But he can't run you out of the
business.

539
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:43,180
Yes, I'm afraid he can, pal. He's the
head man with the head outfit.

540
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,220
Well, there's a clipper out of here at 4
.15. I just got time to pack up and

541
00:28:46,220 --> 00:28:47,340
make it. Well, this is awful.

542
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:49,280
Terrible. And I'm responsible.

543
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,880
Well, Emma, it's been nice meeting you.

544
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:53,100
Good luck.

545
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:58,100
You know, I almost wish you were coming
to New York with me. Not only because

546
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:02,120
I'm grateful for being around you, but
because I could show Gabby just what

547
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,120
me go haywire.

548
00:29:03,540 --> 00:29:04,820
I am coming with you.

549
00:29:05,620 --> 00:29:06,760
What? Yes.

550
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,100
You and I are going to go into your Mr.

551
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:12,240
Gabby MacArthur, and he's going to hear
a few things from me. Well, now, listen,

552
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,600
I'm not going to hide behind a woman's
skirt. Yes, you are.

553
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,260
Ever since you dragged me from that
crack -up, I've been on borrowed time.

554
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,300
You're not going to lose your job
because of me. But what about your job

555
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,220
Atlas? You're supposed to be at the lab.
I'll leave Bill a note. You heard him

556
00:29:25,220 --> 00:29:28,100
say it didn't make any difference
whether I started here or in New York,

557
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,940
want to get back to Harry's wife and
baby anyway.

558
00:29:30,820 --> 00:29:33,020
Well, gosh, Alma, you know I'm grateful,
but...

559
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,200
I have the right to ask you. You're not
asking anything. You're not in the

560
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,200
position to ask.

561
00:29:38,020 --> 00:29:39,660
I'll meet you in the lobby in 15
minutes, right?

562
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,200
Right.

563
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,180
You and Mrs. MacArthur think you can get
blood out of a skeleton? You're crazy.

564
00:29:58,180 --> 00:30:00,600
We might introduce evidence to make you
change your mind, Mr. MacArthur. Now,

565
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,960
don't threaten me. She's got nothing on
me. Nothing except most of my salary,

566
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,739
that's all.

567
00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:07,820
Now, you've got my final terms. You can
table her to that effect. Now, get out.

568
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:12,360
Well, well. I didn't expect... Miss
Harding, Mr. MacArthur.

569
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:14,440
Oh, so it's you, Hunter.

570
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Well, my eyesight is getting worse, but
my nose might have told me it was you.

571
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,360
I had an idea that you'd come sneaking
back here. Now, go on. Get out. I

572
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,240
Miss Harding back to explain why... I
don't care why you brought her back. All

573
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
know is that you didn't bring her back
on film. And everybody in the industry

574
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,940
knows that she's going to work for
Atlas. That's all I know.

575
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,900
I simply want to tell you why Mr. Hunter
destroyed his film. Now, I don't want

576
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:35,900
any of your phony excuses.

577
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:38,520
Now, you don't try to pull the wool over
my eyes.

578
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,200
Well, you're not eccentric, Mr.
MacArthur. You're just plain downright

579
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,160
noisy. Don't get excited, Alma. It's no
good. Well, I'm sorry, Chris.

580
00:30:45,460 --> 00:30:46,379
But when I...

581
00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:48,580
Hot -headed, grumpy, fat little man
won't listen.

582
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,799
Fat man?

583
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,560
Now, see here, Hunter, this is more than
I bargained for. Now, you've never gone

584
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,780
that far. Now, go on, get out.

585
00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:57,340
Now, wait a minute, Gabby. What
difference does it make if you have

586
00:30:57,340 --> 00:30:58,340
little weight?

587
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,640
Both of you, get out!

588
00:31:01,020 --> 00:31:04,580
Chris Hunter left his camera to save a
human life. If you're interested in

589
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:08,240
life, Mr. MacArthur, he destroyed his
film because he's one cameraman with a

590
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,280
little fineness about him.

591
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,860
I flew 6 ,000 miles to demand that you
give him back his job. Now, Miss

592
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,900
I can't run my business if... And if you
don't, I'm going to give the entire

593
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:21,040
story of your ungrateful, cold -blooded
action to the newspaper.

594
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,800
Oh, now, that's all right, Miss Harding.

595
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:24,560
Now, I appreciate your loyalty.

596
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,200
I am a cold -blooded businessman, and
I'm going to make you a cold -blooded

597
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,200
proposition.

598
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,260
I'll rehire Chris if you'll come to work
for me.

599
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,120
What? Well, I can't. You haven't seen
Todd yet.

600
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,020
You haven't signed a contract, have you?

601
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,680
No. Well, whether I get my job back or
not doesn't make that much difference,

602
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,180
Alma. But this is the best company.

603
00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:46,960
Oh, nobody can deny that, Miss Harding.
And we'll pay more, too.

604
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:50,960
I'll offer you $100 a week. A hundred?
Now, you know she's worth four.

605
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,460
Oh, now, Chris.

606
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,760
Well, of course, I'd like to have her in
the organization.

607
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,160
But when a cheap penny any outfit like
Atlas offered her $350, wouldn't that

608
00:31:59,160 --> 00:31:59,799
hit, Alma?

609
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,720
Well, I'm sorry. It was $200.

610
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:07,120
Oh. And speaking of money, here's that
Hong Kong stuff that Les Peters asked me

611
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,120
to bring back.

612
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,940
Everything's true that he says it must
be worth a fortune. Oh, fine.

613
00:32:13,540 --> 00:32:14,540
All right.

614
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Two hundred. Three hundred.

615
00:32:17,380 --> 00:32:22,400
Well, three hundred dollars and Chris
goes back to work. I'd like to see Chris

616
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,680
go back to work, but I can't accept your
offer unless it's understood that

617
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240
you'll help me finance an expedition to
find my brother.

618
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Oh, what?

619
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:35,660
But, brother, you know Harry Harding,
lost down in South America. Yes, yes,

620
00:32:35,660 --> 00:32:38,080
I thought that he... He didn't make the
biggest newsreel scoop in years, Gabby.

621
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:42,880
Yes, of course. But if this is what I...
What I'm trying to say is that if

622
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,260
everything works out, of course, I've
got my stockholders to consider.

623
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,460
All right, I'll do it.

624
00:32:50,180 --> 00:32:54,080
That's all I wanted to know. I guess my
temper's as bad as yours, Mr. MacArthur.

625
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,360
I hate to lose it.

626
00:32:55,740 --> 00:33:00,480
You sorry as I am? Oh, much more so, my
dear. Well, here we are, three

627
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,240
musketeers with nothing but love in the
middle. Will you let Miss Harding use

628
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,380
the phone, Geddy? Now, you phone your
sister -in -law and tell her that your

629
00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:08,180
boyfriend is driving you down this
afternoon and for her to save me some of

630
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:09,740
apple strudel for supper, huh? All
right.

631
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:13,120
Well, come along, Christopher, my boy. I
want to have a talk about that Les

632
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,119
Peters stuff.

633
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,120
How have you been?

634
00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:16,140
Fine, Gabby, fine.

635
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,660
Well, I never saw the weather clear up
quicker.

636
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,140
This business must be a little like an
insane asylum.

637
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:23,460
It's nice, though.

638
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,100
You don't realize you're on the violent
ward until you're stuck to the bed.

639
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:31,720
Remember, if she finds out this is my
film, we're both cooked. Now, it just

640
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
into town, and you bought it up from
some freelance cameraman who happened to

641
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,700
over there. Of course. But what's this
fairy tale about her brother? We can't

642
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:40,300
for that. Oh, of course not. But as long
as you keep her happy, she'll stay on

643
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,640
the payroll. That would be a wild goose
chase. Yeah, sure.

644
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,020
Well, I'll take her down and have
Henderson tie her up on a contract.

645
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,240
Oh, call him and tell him I'm drawing $1
,000.

646
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:48,820
Ouch, $1 ,000? What for?

647
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:50,100
Oh, weekend expenses.

648
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Oh, now, Chris, don't behave like a
highbinder the minute you get back. All

649
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,380
right, then. A bonus. A bonus for a
baby.

650
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,440
Hunter's coming in to put the bite on
you for $1 ,000.

651
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,120
Now start at $200 and quit at $5.

652
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120
This is where Harry did all his work,
Chris. We used to work here together.

653
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,560
We're going to work here again, too.

654
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:19,679
Boy, what a wagon load of shortwave.

655
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:23,840
Some of it's pretty early, Marconi. We
used to collect radio equipment like

656
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,840
kids collect stamps.

657
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:28,860
Say, your brother must have been a swell
guy, all right. Is a swell guy, Chris?

658
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:30,639
Oh, yeah, sure.

659
00:34:30,980 --> 00:34:32,699
Now, that's the reason I brought you up
here.

660
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,300
That oh, yeah, sure.

661
00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:36,580
Ma 'am, I don't mean it. You're not
fooling me, mister.

662
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,920
I know you don't give him the chance of
being alive.

663
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,080
But now that you're helping me, it would
be easier if you believed a little,

664
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:42,998
wouldn't it?

665
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Yes, I guess it would.

666
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,480
Come over here.

667
00:34:46,739 --> 00:34:49,239
This is his line of flight. We planned
his course together.

668
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:50,699
This is where he's down.

669
00:34:51,260 --> 00:34:53,540
That's somewhere near here on the San
Pablo River.

670
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,880
Now, twice in the last year, natives of
Comendamupino was reported as a white

671
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,300
man living with a tribe to the north,
held captive.

672
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,940
A white man held by natives. And I know
it's Harry.

673
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:07,240
That's why every time I come in here, I
tune in to South America. I keep hoping

674
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,940
that if his set is in any sort of
condition, he might get through to me.

675
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,960
That's almost too much of a miracle,
even for me to believe.

676
00:35:13,450 --> 00:35:14,450
Can you read that?

677
00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:15,510
Oh, sure.

678
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:18,290
When Harry and I were kids, we started
building this together.

679
00:35:18,590 --> 00:35:22,730
Starting from an old $4 crystal set. We
had buzzers under our pillows and used

680
00:35:22,730 --> 00:35:24,970
to talk from his room to mine when we
were supposed to be asleep.

681
00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:26,630
Yeah? What's that on now?

682
00:35:27,850 --> 00:35:32,410
Somebody out of Ecuador asking the price
of cotton goods in Manchester.

683
00:35:32,770 --> 00:35:36,130
Say, you know, it's a great story at
that. I mean, you and Harry growing up

684
00:35:36,130 --> 00:35:39,490
together, working out all these gadgets,
and now you believe that you can find

685
00:35:39,490 --> 00:35:43,460
it. It's a great newsreel subject in
itself, right here in this room. Gabby

686
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:44,178
could see that.

687
00:35:44,180 --> 00:35:47,500
Even if you, well, even if you never
found him. But I'm going to find him.

688
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,680
That's what I want you to believe.

689
00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:51,000
I'm going to start trying right now.

690
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,280
Well, I've gained that much at least.
You're a tough customer, Chris.

691
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:57,560
What's that on now?

692
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,540
Just plain W -E -A -F, New York.

693
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,060
It's lovely, isn't it?

694
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:06,780
Yeah, I'll say.

695
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,280
Well, I guess we better go back to the
house. Wait a minute.

696
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Here's something I do believe.

697
00:36:15,020 --> 00:36:18,060
You know, down in the South Sea is where
that music comes from.

698
00:36:18,380 --> 00:36:23,380
It's an old custom that if a girl
doesn't have a man, she wears a flower

699
00:36:23,380 --> 00:36:24,380
her left ear.

700
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,500
But if she has one in mind, she wears it
over her right ear.

701
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,379
She does?

702
00:36:30,380 --> 00:36:31,279
Mm -hmm.

703
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,800
The man doesn't put it there, though.

704
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:35,400
Oh, he doesn't? No.

705
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:37,660
No, she has to do that herself.

706
00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:43,100
And, well, and he sees it, and he knows
that that's his cue.

707
00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:44,860
Or something.

708
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:49,920
Well, uh, I've always worn my hair over
on this side.

709
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,640
So, uh, maybe it wouldn't be becoming
there.

710
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,800
Maybe, uh, maybe it'd be better on the
left side.

711
00:36:56,700 --> 00:36:57,700
Maybe.

712
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,140
Well, maybe.

713
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:02,060
Oh, Mr. Hunter!

714
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:04,260
Oh, Mr. Hunter!

715
00:37:05,740 --> 00:37:08,960
Yeah, what is it, Ruth? Long -distance
telephone call from New York. It's Mr.

716
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,580
MacArthur. Okay, I'll be right there.

717
00:37:11,860 --> 00:37:12,860
Excuse me.

718
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:15,780
It's an awful pretty flower.

719
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Something ought to be done about it.

720
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,459
Hello, Papa.

721
00:37:24,460 --> 00:37:26,460
What gets you up at this hour in the
morning, a house detective?

722
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,900
Black film, that's what. That film you
sent in was black.

723
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,960
What kind of finagling is this?

724
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:34,320
You must be crazy, Gabby.

725
00:37:34,650 --> 00:37:38,250
And what's more, Pearly Todd has
released your film. It's all over town

726
00:37:38,250 --> 00:37:41,930
special. And I know it's your film
because I saw it, and it's just as you

727
00:37:41,930 --> 00:37:44,710
described it. Angle off of ambulance,
crack up and all.

728
00:37:44,990 --> 00:37:46,670
Say, then Atlas must have that
soundtrack.

729
00:37:46,990 --> 00:37:49,770
Everything she said to me just after the
crash. They've got that film.

730
00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:54,210
That's what I'm trying to tell you. They
stole your film, our film.

731
00:37:54,570 --> 00:37:57,830
We can prove it in court by making them
produce the soundtrack that they cut

732
00:37:57,830 --> 00:37:58,808
out.

733
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:03,810
Listen, Gabby, you can't do... Gabby,
you can't do that. We'd ruin Alma.

734
00:38:04,890 --> 00:38:10,490
Well, what I mean is... Well, we're not
supposed to have that film. We told her

735
00:38:10,490 --> 00:38:12,090
we burned it. Now, you do what I say.

736
00:38:12,350 --> 00:38:15,670
You bring that girl in here by this
afternoon or I'll send the law out and

737
00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:16,669
her in.

738
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:17,730
But, Gabby, listen...

739
00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:28,470
Look,

740
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:31,930
Alma, I've got to go back to... I've got
to go back to town.

741
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,600
Is anything wrong, Chris? Well, you know
the newsreel business.

742
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:36,180
Oh, I'm sorry.

743
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:37,800
I don't want you to go.

744
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:39,780
You can see that now, can't you?

745
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Yeah, sure.

746
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,240
And it isn't because you saved my life,
Chris.

747
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,400
That's not the reason. Well, that wasn't
anything.

748
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:48,900
Hey, let me say that.

749
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,580
But after that, you destroyed your film
for me.

750
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,080
And, well, that shows you're tender.

751
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,660
Darn it, that's what a woman wants a man
to be.

752
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,140
Well, guys, that's pretty speeches, kid,
but I don't deserve them. But it puts

753
00:39:08,140 --> 00:39:09,500
us off on the right foot anyway, doesn't
it?

754
00:39:09,940 --> 00:39:12,720
Pals right from the start. And that
flower binds the bargain, hmm?

755
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:14,540
Oh, pals.

756
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,819
Oh, sure.

757
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:16,759
Of course.

758
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,960
Sure, sure, that's us. In the newsreel
business. Too busy for anything but

759
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,400
making them laugh and making them cry.

760
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:22,900
A perfect working team.

761
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:26,160
Just like, uh, well, just like Mutt and
Jeff in the comic strip.

762
00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:27,460
Sure, that's us.

763
00:39:27,580 --> 00:39:28,580
Mutt and Jeff.

764
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:33,880
Guys, these old wooden props sure fell
apart when they cracked up, didn't they?

765
00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:35,430
Yeah, Mutt and Jeff.

766
00:39:36,450 --> 00:39:37,450
Oh, yes.

767
00:39:38,530 --> 00:39:40,330
That was Harry's first ground loop.

768
00:39:42,370 --> 00:39:44,990
Well, I guess we've seen everything in
here, haven't we?

769
00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:46,190
Yep.

770
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:49,590
Your attention, ladies and gentlemen. We
are interrupting all programs for an

771
00:39:49,590 --> 00:39:53,270
SOS signal. A ship is on fire off the
coast and lost in the fog. Stand by.

772
00:39:53,490 --> 00:39:55,010
Ship on fire? I wonder where it is.

773
00:39:56,030 --> 00:39:57,030
Something's clear.

774
00:39:57,290 --> 00:39:59,390
The Coast Guard's warning all ships to
keep away.

775
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:00,630
To keep away?

776
00:40:01,030 --> 00:40:02,750
The burning ship's filled with
munitions.

777
00:40:03,370 --> 00:40:05,290
She won't give her nationality or her
registry.

778
00:40:06,250 --> 00:40:08,750
Coast Guard cutters going to the rescue.
Yeah, those guys would.

779
00:40:09,710 --> 00:40:11,150
They say she's a floating bomb.

780
00:40:12,730 --> 00:40:14,430
A blockade runner full of TNT.

781
00:40:15,110 --> 00:40:16,290
Go on. What's that?

782
00:40:16,670 --> 00:40:17,670
They're in a heavy fog.

783
00:40:18,090 --> 00:40:19,090
They're giving bearings.

784
00:40:19,190 --> 00:40:20,190
What are they?

785
00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:25,690
38, 55 north, 73, 56 west.

786
00:40:26,010 --> 00:40:27,450
Do you have any idea where that is?

787
00:40:27,790 --> 00:40:31,510
It's about 60 miles off this coast.
Alma, we've got to put a camera on that.

788
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Oh, sure, sure.

789
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,920
Well, Billy Becker has a little racing
plane over here. I can get that if you

790
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:38,920
want it. Oh, great.

791
00:40:39,140 --> 00:40:41,620
Oh, but wait, it'll be kind of a job
blindfying in that fog, won't it?

792
00:40:41,980 --> 00:40:43,480
What's the matter, Mr. Mutt? Lost your
nerve?

793
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Okay, come on. This is our first job.
I'm going to drop right in your laps. If

794
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,200
we put it over, we've got MacArthur
right where we want.

795
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,540
That ship's going to blow up any minute.

796
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:30,620
Exactly. I want to tie you into this
shot.

797
00:42:31,140 --> 00:42:32,740
Don't go off that ship. Please don't.

798
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,160
Tell them to get away from here or
they'll be blasted to kingdom come. Aye,

799
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,380
They say the ammunition's on fire.

800
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:41,800
It'll blow any minute.

801
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,640
Let's get out of here. I can't let you
take any more chance.

802
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,020
This is a new real business.

803
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,440
Here comes your close -up. Okay.

804
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,920
Somebody's crazy.

805
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,180
Well, Hunter, where'd you come from?

806
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,400
Elgin Crest. Any of you boys find it?
Find it? I've been lost up there three

807
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,180
times. Ed Stallings took off and cracked
up on Sandy Hook. That's because he

808
00:44:40,180 --> 00:44:43,000
wasn't flying with Alma. Hello, Alma. I
heard that you were back. Oh, hello,

809
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,180
Pete. How was it out there? Oh, it was
ghastly.

810
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:46,780
The rescue boat's just arrived.

811
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,400
Did you get some good stuff, Chris?
Yeah, I may have scooped you boys, but

812
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,860
believe me, that's one sight I never
want to see again, I can tell you that.

813
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,080
Yeah, I can understand that. It must
have been a terrible shock to your

814
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,540
system. Oh, well, well.

815
00:44:58,540 --> 00:44:59,800
Bill! Hi, Dennis!

816
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,600
When did you get here? I caught the next
slipper after you left.

817
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,180
How are you, Alma? So you got a great
shot up there today, huh?

818
00:45:05,420 --> 00:45:07,100
Well, I don't know. I didn't see much of
it.

819
00:45:07,420 --> 00:45:09,140
I was watching Chris out on the wing.

820
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:11,840
You should have seen him. He was almost
hanging by his heels.

821
00:45:12,260 --> 00:45:13,260
He was wonderful.

822
00:45:13,740 --> 00:45:14,740
Yeah, sure.

823
00:45:15,999 --> 00:45:19,720
Bill, you understood my note, didn't
you? I had to come back with Chris after

824
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:20,720
the way they fired him.

825
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,320
And then Mr. MacArthur.

826
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,440
Well, I couldn't refuse their offer,
Bill. Oh, sure, sure. I'm mighty glad

827
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,020
you, honey. Look, you'd better call up
Ruth over in the press room. She's been

828
00:45:29,020 --> 00:45:30,020
phoning frantically.

829
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:31,880
Yes. I'll see you later, won't I? Yeah.

830
00:45:32,420 --> 00:45:35,380
I've still got those pictures I wanted
to show you in China.

831
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:36,760
Why?

832
00:45:36,820 --> 00:45:41,280
Well, how are you, Rembrandt? Fine,
fine. Cigarette, pal? No, thanks. So you

833
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,120
came over on the next clipper, huh?
Yeah. Good weather? It was kind of

834
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,710
without Alma. Oh, that's too bad.

835
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:46,990
I enjoyed her company.

836
00:45:47,250 --> 00:45:49,810
Yeah, well, how long do you figure
you're going to keep that company?

837
00:45:50,350 --> 00:45:54,370
Now, Bill, let's let bygones be bygones.
Of course, it was a joke to me when I

838
00:45:54,370 --> 00:45:57,930
realized you swiped my Shanghai crash,
but I recouped with it, so I can forgive

839
00:45:57,930 --> 00:46:01,230
you. Then everything's all evened up,
eh? Sure, sure. Forget what you did to

840
00:46:01,270 --> 00:46:04,590
pal. I'm big. I can forget. Sure. Say,
how much film we got up there today?

841
00:46:04,850 --> 00:46:05,850
About 400 feet.

842
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,320
What do you mean, we?

843
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,800
You and I are letting bygones be
bygones, and we're splitting 50 -50 on

844
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,260
work today. You're going to send me a
duplicate of that pilgrim crest. Now,

845
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,820
Bill, you're going to break up a
beautiful friendship if you get

846
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,460
You got nothing on me.

847
00:46:18,180 --> 00:46:22,140
Have you? You know those cutouts I saved
from your Shanghai epic would upset a

848
00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:24,300
lot of parades if they were shown in the
right places.

849
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,238
Oh, yeah?

850
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:27,680
Sure, sure, sure. You'd expose her,
yeah.

851
00:46:27,900 --> 00:46:30,700
You got that scene where she admits her
flight was a fake, and you're going to

852
00:46:30,700 --> 00:46:33,770
blast her to the public with it. Oh,
well, the way you looked at her with

853
00:46:33,770 --> 00:46:36,150
calf eyes just now, you let her walk on
you with spiked shoes.

854
00:46:36,410 --> 00:46:39,870
Don't give me that routine, Snuggie. Oh,
no, but what about that nice,

855
00:46:39,870 --> 00:46:43,090
confidential soundtrack where you
described her to Gabby? You know, the

856
00:46:43,090 --> 00:46:45,850
where you spoke so sweetly about her and
the plans you had for her and the

857
00:46:45,850 --> 00:46:47,770
things you were going to do with her.
How would you like to have her hear

858
00:46:47,850 --> 00:46:50,430
Christopher? Why, you... Yeah, another
shock to your nervous system, eh, pal?

859
00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:55,390
All right, what's the deal?

860
00:46:55,820 --> 00:46:58,840
You get another copy of that over to
Purley, and I'll give you back the,

861
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,180
we say, blackmailing evidence. How do I
know you're correct? My word of honor,

862
00:47:02,260 --> 00:47:03,420
you've got to take a chance on that.

863
00:47:06,340 --> 00:47:07,340
Okay, it's a deal.

864
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,360
Of course, now Gabby might object, but
then again, that's your department,

865
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,860
it? Well, I think I'll go along home and
clean up. They sure give us some tough

866
00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:15,600
assignments these days, don't they,
Christopher?

867
00:47:18,980 --> 00:47:22,020
I can't for the life of me understand
what you're raving about. First, you're

868
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:23,940
insane enough to ask me to send them a
duplicate print.

869
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:26,980
Then you come and ask me to call off the
most legitimate lawsuit that a man ever

870
00:47:26,980 --> 00:47:30,900
had. That Shanghai stuff was ours, was
mine. But they didn't release all I

871
00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:34,060
I had a soundtrack full of instructions
to you. And that's what they still have.

872
00:47:34,220 --> 00:47:35,138
Call what?

873
00:47:35,140 --> 00:47:36,118
Gabby, please.

874
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,080
I'll take a salary cut. I'll... No.

875
00:47:38,540 --> 00:47:42,040
I'm sorry to have to interrupt, Mr.
MacArthur. But Mrs. MacArthur's attorney

876
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,400
calling. They would interrupt at a time
like this. He says it's very important.

877
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:46,980
Well, tell them that I'm not in.

878
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,120
Pull the phone off the wall, anything.

879
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,800
Oh.

880
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:52,300
Now listen, my boy.

881
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,420
Listen. Forget all that nonsense.

882
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,900
Now, you shot a great subject this
morning. Now, I want you to get a hold

883
00:47:57,900 --> 00:47:59,240
Alma and start scoring.

884
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:00,038
All right.

885
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,500
You forced me to tell you. I didn't want
to upset you, but now I have to. Eh?

886
00:48:03,620 --> 00:48:05,720
The whole thing concerns you and Mrs.
MacArthur.

887
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,820
What? Before she divorces you, she wants
more alimony, doesn't she? Now, listen.

888
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,440
She gets no more than I've always...
Say, what's that got to do with this?

889
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:16,900
Listen, Gabby. If Pearlie Todd ever
arranges for Mrs. MacArthur to hear that

890
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:19,580
soundtrack, she'll blast you high, wide,
and lovely.

891
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:21,140
Chris, for the love of... Why?

892
00:48:21,340 --> 00:48:24,620
How, Chris? How? Well, in trying to
describe Alma to you, I got a little

893
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,540
I mentioned the time when you came down
to Atlantic City, when I was covering

894
00:48:27,540 --> 00:48:28,740
that beauty contest, you remember?

895
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:34,060
Yes, why... You didn't say anything
about... About Miss Belvedere Falls of

896
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,660
I'm sorry, Gabby, I'm afraid I did.

897
00:48:36,940 --> 00:48:40,820
Oh, my boy. Well, I was in a hurry. I
had the picture to you, so I said the

898
00:48:40,820 --> 00:48:42,020
first thing that came into my mind.

899
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:44,180
You didn't say anything about the party
at the hotel.

900
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:45,700
Wouldn't you know I would?

901
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Not about the...

902
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,020
poem I made up. Yes. I even quoted a few
lines, the part where you rhyme knees

903
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:53,019
with bees.

904
00:48:53,020 --> 00:48:56,980
Well, I thought it would refresh your
memory. I don't need any refreshing.

905
00:48:56,980 --> 00:49:00,660
listen, Gabby. If we play ball, I'll
have the rest of that Shanghai negative

906
00:49:00,660 --> 00:49:03,840
my hands by tomorrow morning. Oh, what a
band of pirates.

907
00:49:04,380 --> 00:49:05,660
So that's the deal, eh?

908
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,680
I'm sorry, Gabby. I wish I'd learned to
keep my full mouth shut. Well, it was

909
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,760
mighty decent of you to tell me about
it, Chris.

910
00:49:12,340 --> 00:49:15,480
Yes? Cancel that telegram to the
preferred exhibitors.

911
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,740
Then call up the lab and have them
strike off a duplicate lavender of that

912
00:49:18,740 --> 00:49:21,040
Pilgrim crash stuff and send it over to
Atlas.

913
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:24,540
What? You really mean that, Mr. Thomas?
You heard me, Miss Wayne!

914
00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:31,020
Well, the show must go on. Get
downstairs, Chris, and start your

915
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,180
You're sure they'll come through with
this, will they?

916
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,600
Guaranteed. I'll destroy it myself in
the morning.

917
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,720
That filthy blackmailing Todd.

918
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,920
I'll get even with him for this someday.

919
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:42,600
Such ethics.

920
00:49:43,340 --> 00:49:44,680
Capitalizing on your competitors.

921
00:49:45,549 --> 00:49:46,549
Personal tragedy.

922
00:50:06,190 --> 00:50:07,230
Let's hear the mix again.

923
00:50:07,450 --> 00:50:08,450
The mix?

924
00:50:08,470 --> 00:50:11,610
Yeah, the blend of all the sounds. Full
effect before we add your voice to it.

925
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,220
Come up with that motor a little now.

926
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:18,860
Get those planes.

927
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,420
Go get it, Miss Allen.

928
00:50:22,820 --> 00:50:23,820
The real thing.

929
00:50:23,940 --> 00:50:25,440
Yeah, but wait till we add your voice to
it.

930
00:50:25,740 --> 00:50:26,740
Well, let's get to work.

931
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:28,880
Keep her voice on a low level, Wallace.
Okay.

932
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,820
So once more I put the plane into a dive
over the burning vessel.

933
00:50:34,620 --> 00:50:37,740
Most of the struggling victims have now
been pulled from the water by the heroic

934
00:50:37,740 --> 00:50:38,740
Coast Guard.

935
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,180
But a small panic -stricken group still
huddle on the bow.

936
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:47,060
And again, the gallant young ensign and
his six boatmen approach the roaring

937
00:50:47,060 --> 00:50:48,060
inferno.

938
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,520
Do they realize?

939
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,500
Do they realize it is their last trip?

940
00:50:53,220 --> 00:50:57,860
Does he realize as he waves us away that
it is really a gesture of goodbye?

941
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:00,460
Watch closely now.

942
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:06,080
There at the side, at the side of the
ship, the young officer calls up to

943
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,078
aboard.

944
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,400
And suddenly, right before our eyes...

945
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,120
I can't look at him. Hold it, Wally.

946
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,740
I don't blame her. It's pretty brutal.
Yeah, if we get a full take before six,

947
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:22,638
we're lucky.

948
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,160
Why do people want to look at such
things?

949
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:28,340
Well, I don't know. I never thought
about it. But it's news, and they do

950
00:51:28,340 --> 00:51:29,700
to. They shouldn't be allowed to.

951
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,540
Well, maybe it goes deeper than that.

952
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,800
It's news, but it's the kindest good for
people.

953
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,560
We're living in a crazy mixed -up world,
aren't we?

954
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,940
Everybody grumbling and growling and at
each other's throats.

955
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,320
But here...

956
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,160
Millions of people are suddenly going to
be reminded, right between the eyes,

957
00:51:46,220 --> 00:51:48,160
what true human idealism really is.

958
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,120
Four men and a guy waving his hat in a
little boat.

959
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:52,500
Doing their job.

960
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,940
Giving their lives for people they don't
even know.

961
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:56,680
Because it is their job.

962
00:51:57,460 --> 00:51:58,460
Sammy?

963
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:00,800
You're right.

964
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:02,980
People have got to know.

965
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:05,400
Here I am, buckling in the middle.

966
00:52:06,740 --> 00:52:08,140
I don't know what's the matter with me.

967
00:52:08,820 --> 00:52:09,820
I do.

968
00:52:10,580 --> 00:52:11,740
You're the best there is.

969
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,260
That's what's the matter with you.

970
00:52:22,260 --> 00:52:23,260
Why did you do that?

971
00:52:24,180 --> 00:52:25,180
Because I did.

972
00:52:25,220 --> 00:52:26,220
That's why.

973
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:27,680
Why?

974
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:30,620
Because you're something I thought I'd
never run up against. That's why.

975
00:52:32,300 --> 00:52:33,920
You mean we're not going to be mutton,
Jeff?

976
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,560
Not just a comic strip pulling down the
dough every day?

977
00:52:37,860 --> 00:52:40,240
I don't know what you call us, but I
call us you and me.

978
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:41,500
That's all I know.

979
00:52:44,310 --> 00:52:46,330
Where have you and I been all of our
lives?

980
00:52:47,570 --> 00:52:48,790
Well, I know where you are now.

981
00:52:49,290 --> 00:52:52,330
Let's get together on this. Is this
mutton Jeff or is it Burns and Allen?

982
00:52:52,550 --> 00:52:55,410
Or do you want this soundtrack to go out
to 5 ,000 exhibitors?

983
00:52:55,610 --> 00:52:56,610
Yes, we do.

984
00:52:57,790 --> 00:53:01,930
Send it out to 5 billion exhibitors and
put the flames and the wind and the

985
00:53:01,930 --> 00:53:04,290
waves in it, too. Okay, Wally, we're
ready for another take.

986
00:53:04,610 --> 00:53:05,610
You can do it now, okay?

987
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:07,170
I can do anything now.

988
00:53:07,410 --> 00:53:10,290
Well, make up your minds. Time's a
-wasting. Okay, roll them.

989
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,020
Don't forget to bring that motor up when
we get out of the fog. Do you think

990
00:53:13,020 --> 00:53:14,020
you'll ever come out of it?

991
00:53:14,860 --> 00:53:16,660
Speed. Watch your starting dial, Chris.

992
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,480
This is Chris Hunter speaking, bringing
to you the news events of the century.

993
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:25,160
Here she is, Alma Hardy, Union's
heroine, the mercy flyer of Shanghai.

994
00:53:26,020 --> 00:53:29,100
Come, Miss Wayne, this is not a sorority
house. Look, Mr. MacArthur, you'll

995
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:31,580
excuse us, but we all know what this
means to you. What? Where?

996
00:53:32,020 --> 00:53:35,600
Well, whatever it is, there's no excuse
for... No!

997
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,220
No! Yes, Mr. MacArthur, yes! Yes, Kitty,
yes!

998
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:41,000
Oh, you're a fine woman, Kitty.

999
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,880
Mrs. MacArthur is a fine woman. Oh, call
up the lab and tell them to cancel that

1000
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:45,880
duplicate print for Atlas.

1001
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,400
Cancel it. It was already sent over an
hour ago. What? Oh, well, never mind.

1002
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:50,620
me Pearlie Todd on the phone.

1003
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,300
Oh, this is wonderful, wonderful.

1004
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,940
Where's Chris Hunter? He and Miss
Harding have left the building. Oh,

1005
00:53:55,940 --> 00:53:56,940
they go? They left no word.

1006
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,600
Oh, but it doesn't matter. I'll see them
at the press showing.

1007
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,840
Just a minute, Mr. Todd.

1008
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:02,640
Hello, Pearlie.

1009
00:54:03,300 --> 00:54:06,400
Hello, Gabby. It's nice we're working
together for once.

1010
00:54:06,750 --> 00:54:09,490
Say, we just ran that... And it's
terrific.

1011
00:54:10,010 --> 00:54:13,790
Well, just you dare to release it,
extortioner. But I'll tell you what you

1012
00:54:13,790 --> 00:54:18,070
do. You can take that blackmailing
soundtrack from Shanghai and mail it to

1013
00:54:18,070 --> 00:54:20,530
Princess Alisaie, Mr.

1014
00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:21,750
Todd. What?

1015
00:54:21,810 --> 00:54:23,330
What are you talking about, MacArthur?

1016
00:54:23,570 --> 00:54:27,190
I'm going to clean up the newsreel
business by running you out of it so

1017
00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:29,970
that they won't be able to catch you
with a .9 lens.

1018
00:54:30,630 --> 00:54:31,630
Hello, hello.

1019
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,740
Blackmail? Run me out of the business.
Why, what's he... Where's Dennis? He

1020
00:54:35,740 --> 00:54:38,620
he'd see you at the union press show.
Well, call him at his home. Get him back

1021
00:54:38,620 --> 00:54:40,060
here. No wait. Never mind, Dennis.

1022
00:54:40,780 --> 00:54:41,780
Hello. Hello.

1023
00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:44,560
Yes, sir? Get out the original of
Dennis' Shanghai Crash.

1024
00:54:44,820 --> 00:54:45,980
I'm coming right down.

1025
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:50,500
I'll make of it, darling. A union
newsreel, Gabby. A billion -dollar

1026
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:52,260
you and I have the stockholders, just
put three away.

1027
00:54:53,340 --> 00:54:58,340
So, he's going to ruin me and my whole
organization with a phony, is he?

1028
00:54:58,340 --> 00:54:59,440
nothing more in the locker, Mr. Todd.

1029
00:54:59,930 --> 00:55:02,010
Put a dummy roll in the place of this
and lock it up again.

1030
00:55:02,250 --> 00:55:05,210
This leads out to your fire. Yes, sir.
Have you everything you need, Mr. Todd?

1031
00:55:05,630 --> 00:55:06,630
Everything.

1032
00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:10,270
Here she is, boss.

1033
00:55:10,570 --> 00:55:13,210
May we have a few pictures beside him,
please? Raise your head a little higher,

1034
00:55:13,290 --> 00:55:16,090
Miss Harding, please. And look at him.
The price of fame, honey. One more on

1035
00:55:16,090 --> 00:55:20,290
this way, please. Ah, here you are. Not
now, boy. You can get this later. Come

1036
00:55:20,290 --> 00:55:20,868
on, now.

1037
00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:24,090
Where but Sam Hill have you two been? We
bought a taxi and gave it back to the

1038
00:55:24,090 --> 00:55:25,090
driver. Oh, George.

1039
00:55:25,450 --> 00:55:26,810
Yes, Mr. McCullough. Show them to that
table.

1040
00:55:27,180 --> 00:55:28,340
Now, I've got to get this mob quiet.

1041
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,060
Everything's wonderful, Chris. Tell you
all about it later. This way, please.

1042
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:31,939
Now, quiet, everybody.

1043
00:55:31,940 --> 00:55:33,140
Quiet. Take your seats.

1044
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:34,480
We're going to start now.

1045
00:55:35,020 --> 00:55:38,040
I'm from Dromedary Cigarettes, Miss
Harding. Here's our check. Now, you just

1046
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,240
signed this release for our advertising.
Only $1 ,000?

1047
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,100
Don't sign it, Alma. Wait till you see
this film you offer her, too.

1048
00:55:43,340 --> 00:55:46,340
Now, wait a minute. Excuse me, Miss
Harding. I'm from Beauty Sleep Matters.

1049
00:55:46,340 --> 00:55:50,140
,000 is the standard rate. Miss Harding
isn't standard. She's special. Go away,

1050
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,140
boys. Go away. Well, we'll see you
later, Miss Harding.

1051
00:55:52,609 --> 00:55:54,970
Chris, that was $2 ,000 right in my
hand.

1052
00:55:55,170 --> 00:55:57,030
Chicken feed. We'll raise that offer by
his back hair.

1053
00:55:57,270 --> 00:56:00,550
Hello. You don't mind if I join you for
the show, do you? Oh, swell, Bill.

1054
00:56:00,910 --> 00:56:02,450
I'll probably be awful on that
soundtrack.

1055
00:56:02,810 --> 00:56:04,750
I'd never gotten through it if it hadn't
been for Chris.

1056
00:56:04,990 --> 00:56:07,390
Oh, yeah, Chris is awfully good on that
soundtrack business.

1057
00:56:07,630 --> 00:56:10,350
Too bad you couldn't hear him when he's
really warmed up. Everything all right

1058
00:56:10,350 --> 00:56:11,350
over at Atlas?

1059
00:56:11,430 --> 00:56:12,430
Everything's okay.

1060
00:56:12,590 --> 00:56:13,590
I'll have lunch with you tomorrow.

1061
00:56:13,970 --> 00:56:16,950
Fine. It might be a good idea if you
wipe that lip rouge off your teeth.

1062
00:56:22,299 --> 00:56:23,820
Once more around the park.

1063
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,700
Now that we're at last quiet, ladies and
gentlemen, I've asked you here to

1064
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:29,760
witness... I must interrupt, Gabby.

1065
00:56:29,980 --> 00:56:31,580
What? Ladies and gentlemen. Now, see
here.

1066
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,100
Mr. MacArthur and I have been
competitors for years, but just to clear

1067
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:38,260
misunderstandings, I've butted in here
tonight with Bill Dennis' film from

1068
00:56:38,260 --> 00:56:42,620
Shanghai. To show that I'm on the level
and to complete the record, I give you

1069
00:56:42,620 --> 00:56:45,860
the first chapter of an amazing newsreel
career.

1070
00:56:46,380 --> 00:56:48,760
Alma Harding's great serum flight...

1071
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,959
To Shanghai.

1072
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,860
Very gallant, Mr. Todd, but it won't
work. You're still going to be sued.

1073
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:56,320
Hey, what goes on here? I don't know.

1074
00:57:01,540 --> 00:57:03,520
I didn't know you'd gotten anything.

1075
00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:13,200
Come on, pal. You've got to get out of
here. This thing's on fire.

1076
00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:16,400
Take it easy now. You'll be all right.

1077
00:57:17,660 --> 00:57:20,760
My school driver lost his head. Those
tanks will blow him in.

1078
00:57:21,180 --> 00:57:22,840
Isn't that taken from where you were,
Chris?

1079
00:57:23,940 --> 00:57:25,100
Yeah, it looks like it, doesn't it?

1080
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:26,980
What's the matter with you? Are you
crazy?

1081
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:28,540
Hey, no, I cut it then.

1082
00:57:29,140 --> 00:57:32,120
There's no serum in there. It's all
fake.

1083
00:57:32,340 --> 00:57:33,340
Fake?

1084
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,400
Just your buddies do for me in here.

1085
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:37,800
Come on, let's get away from there.

1086
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,240
Well,

1087
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,000
this is for you. Listen to what I'm
saying and get it straight.

1088
00:57:42,430 --> 00:57:44,970
Before you show this to Gabby, cut out
that soundtrack where she says it's all

1089
00:57:44,970 --> 00:57:47,730
fake and destroy it. The three of them
were in it together. They tried to put a

1090
00:57:47,730 --> 00:57:50,130
phony on this, Gabby. I had to do it for
the good of the business.

1091
00:57:50,470 --> 00:57:51,448
You're right.

1092
00:57:51,450 --> 00:57:53,470
Hello, Gabby. How is that for pretty
pictures?

1093
00:57:53,790 --> 00:57:56,890
Listen, I'm coming home, see? And when I
do, I'm bringing Alma herself.

1094
00:57:57,450 --> 00:58:00,450
She's a comic little dame who thinks
she's a man, flying around the world

1095
00:58:00,450 --> 00:58:01,990
grease on her face and her hands in her
pockets.

1096
00:58:02,330 --> 00:58:04,410
But maybe I can show her how it feels to
be a woman.

1097
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:08,630
I'll make her the darling of Union
Newsreel, Gabby. A million -dollar melon

1098
00:58:08,630 --> 00:58:10,570
you and I and the stockholders can split
three ways.

1099
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,200
I got it. I'd like to shove it down
Todd's throat. Dad, I'm going to.

1100
00:58:26,940 --> 00:58:29,420
Now, look here, Pearlie. You can't do
this. Turn in your card, Dennis. You're

1101
00:58:29,420 --> 00:58:32,080
through. Mr. Todd and I are going to see
that you and Hunter are kept out of the

1102
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,080
newsreel business forever.

1103
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:34,540
Tell Hunter that, will you?

1104
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:37,500
Listen, everybody.

1105
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,280
I want you all to know that Miss Harding
has nothing to do with this. Wait a

1106
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:41,280
minute, Chris.

1107
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:42,840
It's just this ladies and gentlemen.

1108
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:48,320
It's a very ordinary occurrence a girl
trying to get by with something phony

1109
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,740
I'm still a little green at it. I guess
I got caught you see Mr.. Hunter, and I

1110
00:58:53,740 --> 00:58:57,760
thought that all the hot stuff had been
burned didn't we Chris come on darling.

1111
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,340
Let's get out of you Darling goes alone
if you don't mind.

1112
00:59:01,260 --> 00:59:02,198
Don't worry, sister.

1113
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,380
If it's headlines you wanted, you sure
got them. A dog got his name on a can of

1114
00:59:05,380 --> 00:59:08,700
dog food for hauling serum, but he was
on the level. I wonder where she has her

1115
00:59:08,700 --> 00:59:11,740
brother planted. Give me a story of his
hiding outreach, all right? You may be a

1116
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:12,740
pony, but you got all the luck.

1117
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,700
Listen now, let me explain, will you
please? Okay, Bill. You did it the hard

1118
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:20,220
way. You may have knocked me out of the
air for a while, but you put me back on

1119
00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:21,220
my own two feet again.

1120
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:22,660
Down? Not yet.

1121
00:59:25,089 --> 00:59:27,530
Alma, you've got to believe what I tell
you. Oh, don't take it so hard, Mr.

1122
00:59:27,610 --> 00:59:30,390
Mutt. Doesn't it always end by Jeff
getting hit with a brick? Oh, Alma, for

1123
00:59:30,390 --> 00:59:31,830
love of Mike, won't you understand
that... What's this?

1124
00:59:32,050 --> 00:59:34,630
Is this the X -ray floor? Is this where
they burn all the films? Darling,

1125
00:59:34,690 --> 00:59:37,010
listen, I'm trying to explain... Or is
this where they drop all the comic

1126
00:59:37,010 --> 00:59:38,210
dames who try to act like men?

1127
00:59:38,930 --> 00:59:42,070
You're going to listen to me, do you
hear? Now, I admit back in Shanghai...

1128
00:59:42,070 --> 00:59:45,090
the old master's going to work again,
eh? Oh, Alma, you can't talk like that.

1129
00:59:45,130 --> 00:59:48,590
Who says I can't? Now, I wish I were a
man. But you're not much of a man, are

1130
00:59:48,590 --> 00:59:50,630
you? So I wouldn't be taking somebody my
own size.

1131
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:54,760
I don't know. What are you going to do?

1132
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,560
I'm going back home alone.

1133
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,200
But what about Harry? I want to help
with that. Harry?

1134
00:59:59,780 --> 01:00:00,840
Oh, I'll find him.

1135
01:00:01,180 --> 01:00:05,300
And boy, when I do, and tell him about
the wind and the waves and me the best

1136
01:00:05,300 --> 01:00:07,480
there is, won't he have the laugh on me?

1137
01:00:08,220 --> 01:00:09,840
But you needn't worry, Chris. You're
safe.

1138
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,900
Harry never picked on a little fellow in
his life.

1139
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:16,578
Where'd she go?

1140
01:00:16,580 --> 01:00:17,459
Back home.

1141
01:00:17,460 --> 01:00:20,220
We nailed it to a cross. We got to do
something. Well, if it doesn't hurt too

1142
01:00:20,220 --> 01:00:21,220
much, start thinking.

1143
01:00:22,270 --> 01:00:23,710
Mercy flight, fake pair.

1144
01:00:23,930 --> 01:00:24,930
Let it be.

1145
01:00:39,490 --> 01:00:43,270
No, I'm sorry, Alma. We might have
managed something if this awful newsreel

1146
01:00:43,270 --> 01:00:44,029
hadn't broken.

1147
01:00:44,030 --> 01:00:47,230
To be honest with you, the public feels
your search for your brother is just a

1148
01:00:47,230 --> 01:00:48,089
publicity stunt.

1149
01:00:48,090 --> 01:00:49,170
But that's a rotten lie.

1150
01:00:49,570 --> 01:00:51,590
You know me better than that, Mr.
Fairfield.

1151
01:00:52,010 --> 01:00:53,010
I know you, my dear.

1152
01:00:53,090 --> 01:00:54,090
But can't you see?

1153
01:00:54,270 --> 01:00:55,710
You're just too hot to handle.

1154
01:01:08,270 --> 01:01:11,990
Well, well, what's this? You two working
as a team now? You can call it that.

1155
01:01:12,270 --> 01:01:15,290
I heard you boys got by, but you're not
going out of business, are you? Looks

1156
01:01:15,290 --> 01:01:17,590
that way. Hey, boss, how much do you tip
these New York Greek Shore drivers?

1157
01:01:17,830 --> 01:01:19,650
Tell them to stick around. We may want
to take this stuff back.

1158
01:01:20,070 --> 01:01:21,070
All right, Gubby.

1159
01:01:21,130 --> 01:01:22,590
You know our equipment. How much?

1160
01:01:23,310 --> 01:01:26,670
Well, boys, let's don't have any
chiseling. I'll give you $5 ,000 for the

1161
01:01:26,790 --> 01:01:28,810
I've got $10 ,000 tied up in mine alone.

1162
01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:31,270
Just a minute, just a minute. We'll take
one piece at a time.

1163
01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:36,590
Now, Gumpy, here is the best 12 -inch
lens in the world. Clear as a bell.

1164
01:01:36,710 --> 01:01:37,710
quartz, and crown.

1165
01:01:37,910 --> 01:01:39,590
Tropics, North Pole, nothing changes.

1166
01:01:39,810 --> 01:01:41,010
This lens has got a soul.

1167
01:01:41,870 --> 01:01:45,210
$100. I'd give him $500 for myself. I've
wanted that for years.

1168
01:01:45,470 --> 01:01:46,308
Go ahead.

1169
01:01:46,310 --> 01:01:47,310
$400, and it's yours.

1170
01:01:47,510 --> 01:01:48,970
$300. Now, what's next?

1171
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:51,570
Hey, boss, give me some money. I'll go
down and rent that suit. Yeah, here's

1172
01:01:51,570 --> 01:01:52,750
five. Go rent yourself a good one.

1173
01:01:53,130 --> 01:01:55,350
Hey, now, wait a minute. Chris, I've
been thinking this over. Can we trust

1174
01:01:55,350 --> 01:01:58,210
screwball to do the job? After all,
we're putting everything at stake. Who

1175
01:01:58,210 --> 01:01:59,970
have you got? Besides, she's never seen
him before.

1176
01:02:00,630 --> 01:02:01,609
All right, Gumby.

1177
01:02:01,610 --> 01:02:03,330
Now, here's the big grown box itself.

1178
01:02:04,270 --> 01:02:07,310
Sound valves as sensitive as a cricket's
ear, machined out of Syracuse.

1179
01:02:07,510 --> 01:02:11,130
You can throw this at anybody for $5
,000, but to you, Gumby, it's four.

1180
01:02:11,130 --> 01:02:12,009
Chris, I can.

1181
01:02:12,010 --> 01:02:15,110
How are you boys going to eat? How are
you going to make a living without your

1182
01:02:15,110 --> 01:02:17,270
cameras? To you, it's four. Three and a
half. Sold.

1183
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,080
Mother, is a cold weather down there
where the Amazon is?

1184
01:02:22,340 --> 01:02:23,860
Hold it, darling. Please, not now.

1185
01:02:24,220 --> 01:02:28,060
But what are you staying home for, Aunt
Elma? I thought you and that Mr. Hunter

1186
01:02:28,060 --> 01:02:29,140
were going after Daddy.

1187
01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:31,320
Oh, it's no use. Let's not pretend.

1188
01:02:31,700 --> 01:02:36,380
Oh, Harry, we can't. Oh, my poor Harry.
Now, now, Mrs. H., none of that, please.

1189
01:02:36,620 --> 01:02:37,620
Don't cry, Mommy.

1190
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:38,960
Daddy's all right.

1191
01:02:39,220 --> 01:02:40,220
Someone's coming.

1192
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:41,920
You'd better go inside.

1193
01:02:43,460 --> 01:02:45,180
Daddy'd hate to see you crying, Mommy.

1194
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:53,080
Buenos dias, senorita.

1195
01:02:54,740 --> 01:02:55,780
Miss Harding, I presume?

1196
01:02:56,060 --> 01:02:59,440
Yes. Miss Harding, I'm Senor Joselito
Stanza, representing the Association

1197
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:00,760
Aeronautics of the Amazon.

1198
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,160
You're from South America?

1199
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,400
Yes. You haven't any word about my
brother? No, but I've come to help you

1200
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,380
him. How can you help me? I bring for
you a check.

1201
01:03:07,940 --> 01:03:11,720
Check? For 50 ,000 pesos, 7 ,961
dollars.

1202
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:17,780
Why? Why that's... Why do you give this
to me? Because we understand tragedy and

1203
01:03:17,780 --> 01:03:21,420
injustice. Because we know your
brother's really lost, and because...

1204
01:03:21,930 --> 01:03:23,030
We believe in you.

1205
01:03:25,630 --> 01:03:27,030
You really believe in me?

1206
01:03:27,350 --> 01:03:28,850
Miss Harding, I know.

1207
01:03:29,250 --> 01:03:35,790
We want to... We want to... Well, I have
a big speech ready to say.

1208
01:03:35,970 --> 01:03:40,290
I memorize him just like he was wrote,
but... But I forget him.

1209
01:03:41,170 --> 01:03:42,650
You don't have to make a speech.

1210
01:03:43,070 --> 01:03:45,550
It's enough that somebody has faith in
me.

1211
01:03:45,810 --> 01:03:46,810
Well, we do.

1212
01:03:47,630 --> 01:03:48,910
That's nearly $8 ,000.

1213
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,920
That'll buy a plane and supplies and
everything I've been working so hard to

1214
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,580
get. Then you are glad for this.

1215
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:57,840
Glad?

1216
01:03:58,660 --> 01:04:03,640
It's been such a long haul, and now
suddenly everything I've dreamed about

1217
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:04,640
to me out of the blue.

1218
01:04:06,620 --> 01:04:07,620
Won't you sit down?

1219
01:04:08,060 --> 01:04:10,720
I'll call my sister, and then you can
explain everything to us.

1220
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,120
Ruth! Ruth, come here, dear.

1221
01:04:14,500 --> 01:04:16,840
You see, we were just about beaten.

1222
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:18,280
Really, we were.

1223
01:04:18,420 --> 01:04:19,780
Then you will take the check?

1224
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,000
Take the check?

1225
01:04:21,620 --> 01:04:23,940
Will a drowning person grasp at a straw?

1226
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,600
A straw, senorita?

1227
01:04:26,060 --> 01:04:28,640
In my country, 50 ,000 pesos is not hay.

1228
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,080
Bye -bye. Adios. Adios. Adios.

1229
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,040
Adios. Adios.

1230
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:38,160
Adios, darling.

1231
01:04:38,180 --> 01:04:39,180
Take care of yourself.

1232
01:04:39,420 --> 01:04:40,339
I will.

1233
01:04:40,340 --> 01:04:42,380
Remember, I'll be waiting right here for
Daddy.

1234
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,520
Hold it. Take good care of your mommy.

1235
01:04:44,990 --> 01:04:47,110
I'll bring him back to you. Goodbye,
darling.

1236
01:04:47,350 --> 01:04:48,350
Goodbye. Adios.

1237
01:04:48,810 --> 01:04:50,010
Boy, there's a champion.

1238
01:04:50,250 --> 01:04:52,350
She not only can give it, but look at
her take it.

1239
01:04:52,710 --> 01:04:56,270
Yeah, well, until you came along, she
didn't have to take it. There she goes

1240
01:04:56,270 --> 01:04:58,550
an assignment that's like the best
flyers in South America.

1241
01:04:59,510 --> 01:05:00,950
But we can't let her take any more.

1242
01:05:01,470 --> 01:05:04,410
We've got to cook up some sort of a
scheme to help. Count me out of your

1243
01:05:04,610 --> 01:05:07,270
I only went in on this one because I was
part of her crack -up.

1244
01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:09,390
We're quits.

1245
01:05:14,250 --> 01:05:15,350
Okay, we're quits.

1246
01:05:19,550 --> 01:05:23,370
Even though I know I was helping her, I
feel myself like a dirty dog. Just like

1247
01:05:23,370 --> 01:05:24,370
you, Chris.

1248
01:05:25,370 --> 01:05:26,610
Yeah, I know, Jose.

1249
01:05:27,910 --> 01:05:29,610
We can't let her tackle this job alone.

1250
01:05:30,910 --> 01:05:34,050
I think I've got an idea that'll get us
on the next boat.

1251
01:05:40,220 --> 01:05:41,220
There she is.

1252
01:05:42,580 --> 01:05:45,460
X2N3465. Hey, boss, I can't tell you
where you chained those numbers. Yeah,

1253
01:05:45,460 --> 01:05:46,980
wait. Wait until I get the acid on.

1254
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,320
Make it rusty. Make it look like it's
come a long ways through the jungle.

1255
01:05:51,300 --> 01:05:54,360
Now then, senor Estanza, just where did
you get this compass?

1256
01:05:54,620 --> 01:05:55,740
You know I buy that in the pawn shop.

1257
01:05:56,220 --> 01:05:58,520
No, no, no. I'm playing Gabby's part.

1258
01:05:58,920 --> 01:05:59,920
Now, where did you get it?

1259
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:04,580
Oh. Mr. MacArthur, I'm a very rich
plantation owner. You never did see me

1260
01:06:04,580 --> 01:06:07,840
before. No, the last part is true
because you never did see me. Yeah, I

1261
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,780
few weeks ago, a native bring to my
South American plantation this thing.

1262
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,740
Don't say this thing. Say this compass.

1263
01:06:15,220 --> 01:06:16,220
Okey -dokey.

1264
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,120
If these numbers check, it will be a
bombshell.

1265
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:21,500
Where was this found?

1266
01:06:21,700 --> 01:06:24,600
I received this thing yesterday by
airmail special rush from my plantation

1267
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,880
manager. Two weeks ago, a native bring
this instrument from the jungle, this,

1268
01:06:27,980 --> 01:06:31,340
uh... Compass. But why did you bring it
to me? Because I understand his sister

1269
01:06:31,340 --> 01:06:35,220
worked for you. No, now, that is not a
present. No, then, but you will find

1270
01:06:35,220 --> 01:06:36,218
huh? Oh, naturally.

1271
01:06:36,220 --> 01:06:38,620
If everything checks, certainly, Senor
Estancia.

1272
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,440
Of course, if you're not interested, I
could put it in the hands of our embassy

1273
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,780
in Washington. No, no, no, I beg of you.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.

1274
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,820
Cook? You don't need no cook. We have a
cook on our plantation who cooked for my

1275
01:06:47,820 --> 01:06:50,380
grandfather. He's a little dirty,
perhaps, but good.

1276
01:06:50,740 --> 01:06:54,970
No, what I mean to say, Senor Estancia,
is... Well? I called the Pathfinder

1277
01:06:54,970 --> 01:06:55,709
Instant Company.

1278
01:06:55,710 --> 01:06:58,030
These are the registered numbers on
Harry Harding's compass.

1279
01:06:58,470 --> 01:07:02,250
X, 2, N, 3, 4, 6, 5.

1280
01:07:02,750 --> 01:07:04,410
Great Scott, they do check.

1281
01:07:04,630 --> 01:07:08,490
Why, this will be the biggest... Oh,
naturally, Senor Estancia, you'll be

1282
01:07:08,490 --> 01:07:10,390
to cooperate with us. You will guide our
expedition.

1283
01:07:10,830 --> 01:07:14,270
Well, I'm a very busy man. Oh, I'll see
that you don't suffer financially.

1284
01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:17,410
Well, that's a different color of
another horse. All right.

1285
01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:19,510
Good. I know just the man.

1286
01:07:21,550 --> 01:07:22,550
Hi, Gumpy.

1287
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,660
How do you do, Bill? Let's have a beer,
will you?

1288
01:07:24,980 --> 01:07:25,980
Still on the cuff?

1289
01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:27,720
The cuff's getting kind of long, ain't
it?

1290
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:29,120
Hey, what's this?

1291
01:07:30,180 --> 01:07:31,440
Chris Hunter's stuff. It's gone.

1292
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:32,960
Yeah, he came and got it.

1293
01:07:33,380 --> 01:07:34,560
When? What with?

1294
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,980
I don't know. He gunked you in here the
other day with a roll of bills like a

1295
01:07:37,980 --> 01:07:40,800
bookmaker. Took back all his equipment
and more besides.

1296
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,160
And boy, did I unload on him. You know
those old moisture -proof magazines they

1297
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,040
use in the tropics? I sold him those,
too.

1298
01:07:47,380 --> 01:07:49,280
Tropics? Oh, no, no, Gumpy.

1299
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:50,840
What's the matter, Bill? You sick?

1300
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:52,880
I don't know, but it won't take me long
to find out.

1301
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,720
Remember now, you are Mrs.

1302
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,880
Harry Harding, and you're Little Hulda,
and I'm your uncle.

1303
01:08:01,020 --> 01:08:02,020
Come in, please.

1304
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:04,920
Mr. MacArthur, this is Harry Harding's
wife and child.

1305
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,080
How do you do? Won't you sit down?

1306
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:08,440
And this is Mr.

1307
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:12,360
Fishbeck. Fishbeck? Ted Fishbeck, Mr.
MacArthur. I was Harry Harding's flying

1308
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,520
pal. I hope you'll forgive my
appearance, but I came in too fast

1309
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:16,259
a test job.

1310
01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:17,460
Your face looks familiar.

1311
01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:20,540
Oh, yes. I've flown you between here and
Chicago many times. I'm with King

1312
01:08:20,540 --> 01:08:23,479
Airways. Well, as I told you over the
phone, Fishbeck, you're under a

1313
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,640
misapprehension if you think I have any
news of Harding. I don't understand

1314
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,000
how... The room is all over the airport,
Mr. MacArthur. Now look.

1315
01:08:29,340 --> 01:08:33,200
All I can say is if you're hiding
information from Harry's own wife and

1316
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,420
little girl here, then that's the
cruelest thing I ever heard of. Why,

1317
01:08:36,420 --> 01:08:39,580
story breaks, there'll be no place you
can hide. Mr. MacArthur, in the name of

1318
01:08:39,580 --> 01:08:42,920
charity, all I ask is if there's been
just one little word.

1319
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,060
It's been so long, Mr.

1320
01:08:45,300 --> 01:08:46,859
MacArthur. So long.

1321
01:08:47,060 --> 01:08:50,479
Well, my dear, the only thing that I can
tell you, that is, I mean to say, if

1322
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,240
there's no news, it's good news.

1323
01:08:54,390 --> 01:08:57,930
Don't cry, darling. Everything's going
to be all right. I can't help it, Uncle

1324
01:08:57,930 --> 01:08:59,750
Ted. I can't help it.

1325
01:09:00,609 --> 01:09:03,790
Please, Mr. MacArthur, do you know where
my daddy is?

1326
01:09:04,010 --> 01:09:05,670
Have you heard from my daddy?

1327
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:08,870
Yes, my dear. No, no, no, no. Don't cry.

1328
01:09:09,250 --> 01:09:12,630
I have heard. Oh, do tell us, Mr.
MacArthur. Please, where? Where?

1329
01:09:12,890 --> 01:09:15,149
You know the spot where his plane
cracked up? Well, now, Mrs.

1330
01:09:15,350 --> 01:09:18,870
Harding, I don't want you to get your
hopes up, but his compass was brought in

1331
01:09:18,870 --> 01:09:20,630
by one of the natives, and the numbers
checked.

1332
01:09:20,990 --> 01:09:25,050
So I sent our best man, Chris Hunter,
down there with a careful, slow, heavy

1333
01:09:25,050 --> 01:09:26,149
-equipped expedition.

1334
01:09:26,450 --> 01:09:29,450
Well, where'd he go? Where's their base?
Well, it's right here, right along

1335
01:09:29,450 --> 01:09:33,330
this... Now, let's see. You understand
my secrecy regarding this. If some of

1336
01:09:33,330 --> 01:09:36,149
newsreel company got hold of the idea...
Of course, of course. Why, they could

1337
01:09:36,149 --> 01:09:37,729
fly a man down there and beat you to it,
couldn't they?

1338
01:09:37,930 --> 01:09:38,930
Exactly.

1339
01:09:39,170 --> 01:09:43,189
It's right here at Lupino, at the
junction of these two rivers. I think

1340
01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:46,250
sister is... Hey, wait a minute. What
goes on here?

1341
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,779
No, you don't go. Oh, now, don't start
in on me, Mr. MacArthur. I only did what

1342
01:09:50,779 --> 01:09:54,320
Mr. Dennis hired me to do, that's all.
Hired? Dennis, you mean? Well, it's been

1343
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,100
pretty tough on Broadway this season,
and I've got to pay for this one's

1344
01:09:57,100 --> 01:09:58,100
lesson somehow.

1345
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,220
You want to see my new break? Miss
Wayne, Miss Wayne.

1346
01:10:01,460 --> 01:10:05,100
Get me the police department. Oh, no,
don't do that, Mr. MacArthur. Please

1347
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:06,100
do that. Yes, the police department.

1348
01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:08,220
Miss Wayne, stop that woman.

1349
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:09,480
Stop that child.

1350
01:10:09,700 --> 01:10:13,420
The police department. No, never mind.
Oh, what a business.

1351
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:15,940
What a way to earn a living.

1352
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,080
Mr. Dennis, the wireless operator on the
Laburnum reports that there is a Mr.

1353
01:10:34,220 --> 01:10:35,220
Christopher Hunter aboard.

1354
01:10:35,340 --> 01:10:36,460
Thank you. Yes, sir.

1355
01:10:38,780 --> 01:10:40,480
I'll be seeing you, wise guy.

1356
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:51,800
Bienvenido, señor.

1357
01:10:52,820 --> 01:10:54,540
I'm Pedro, the patron here.

1358
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,540
Oh, fine, fine. Help with my gear, will
you? Hey, where's Miss Harding? Have you

1359
01:10:57,540 --> 01:10:59,200
seen her around? Hello, Christopher.

1360
01:11:02,670 --> 01:11:05,610
I smoked another Gabby, Chris, down here
a week ago, flying light.

1361
01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:08,530
Gabby must be getting old. Oh, now, what
difference does it make? Let's forget

1362
01:11:08,530 --> 01:11:11,090
the scoops. This is too serious. We're
all in it together now.

1363
01:11:11,390 --> 01:11:12,990
Hello, Chris. Oh, hello, Alma.

1364
01:11:13,250 --> 01:11:17,890
Senor Chris. Oh, Miss Harding. How nice
you're here, eh? Why, Senor Stanza. Yes,

1365
01:11:18,010 --> 01:11:20,410
yes, I made Senor Stanza's acquaintance
on the boat.

1366
01:11:20,670 --> 01:11:24,050
Senor Stanza, this is Bill Dennis.
You've never met, have you? How do you

1367
01:11:24,230 --> 01:11:25,159
How do you do?

1368
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,280
This is the man I told you about.

1369
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:27,740
He made all this possible.

1370
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,100
Oh, well, I'm very glad to meet you,
senor. Well, I got the same kind of

1371
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:31,919
feeling, eh?

1372
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:33,740
Well, here we are all here, eh?

1373
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,100
Well, I must go and unload our
equipment, eh?

1374
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:37,360
Yes, yes, that's fine.

1375
01:11:37,580 --> 01:11:38,800
Thank you, senor Cesar.

1376
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,720
He's helping me, you know. It's amazing
the way he takes hold of things like an

1377
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:43,720
old hand.

1378
01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:46,580
Well, what's going on? Anything new?

1379
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:47,938
Nothing, Chris.

1380
01:11:47,940 --> 01:11:48,980
We've been waiting for you.

1381
01:11:49,620 --> 01:11:53,260
For me? Sure. I've sent runners out to
every known tribe trying to locate the

1382
01:11:53,260 --> 01:11:54,260
man that found that compass.

1383
01:11:54,650 --> 01:11:57,570
Compass, what are your plans, Chris? How
are you going to contact the man that

1384
01:11:57,570 --> 01:11:59,350
found it? Who is he? Where did he find
it?

1385
01:12:00,210 --> 01:12:03,190
Say, look, I'm starved. How about me
telling you the whole story over some

1386
01:12:03,230 --> 01:12:05,470
huh? Sure. I guess we can dig up
something for you.

1387
01:12:05,770 --> 01:12:06,770
That's all I know.

1388
01:12:07,870 --> 01:12:10,450
He's the manager of a big plantation
around here.

1389
01:12:10,690 --> 01:12:13,530
They said he'd be here to contact
anybody who might come down.

1390
01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:17,670
I thought he might start for the station
when he heard the boat whistle.

1391
01:12:18,330 --> 01:12:21,050
Say, I'm going to see if Peter knows of
any big plantations around here.

1392
01:12:21,390 --> 01:12:23,490
See if he's opened the mail sack, too.
Yeah, all right.

1393
01:12:24,300 --> 01:12:25,980
In spite of everything, you're looking
fine.

1394
01:12:26,420 --> 01:12:27,420
Well, thanks.

1395
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:29,080
I'm feeling fine.

1396
01:12:31,300 --> 01:12:35,160
I think I'll go down and see if the
plane is moored close enough.

1397
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:41,440
There's a heavy current running. Good.
Well, I'll go with you. No.

1398
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,120
No, there's no need to, Chris.

1399
01:12:47,740 --> 01:12:50,200
He's a very charming people. Why don't
you tell her about the compass?

1400
01:12:51,340 --> 01:12:54,360
How could I slap her in the face with
the truth as her first hope she's had to

1401
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:55,360
cling to?

1402
01:12:55,540 --> 01:12:57,280
But you will call Dennis for sure, huh?

1403
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,580
Yeah, after she turns in tonight.

1404
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:11,140
Where'd you get this?

1405
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Chris!

1406
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:16,440
Chris!

1407
01:13:16,660 --> 01:13:18,480
It's all right. It's all right. Come
with me.

1408
01:13:20,440 --> 01:13:23,380
Chris. Bill, look what this man just
handed me. It's Harry's watch, the one I

1409
01:13:23,380 --> 01:13:24,380
gave him. What?

1410
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:29,440
What's he saying? I understand him. He
speaks Spanish -Portuguese.

1411
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:39,660
Come on,

1412
01:13:39,660 --> 01:13:40,760
come on, come on. What's it all about?

1413
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,020
He said he wanted the white bird woman
to take him in the big bird and show him

1414
01:13:44,020 --> 01:13:46,720
where the white bird man is. Well, I'll
be... Where is he? How far away?

1415
01:13:53,990 --> 01:13:57,390
He said four sons. That means four days
by canoe, paddle boat.

1416
01:13:57,770 --> 01:13:58,688
Where is that?

1417
01:13:58,690 --> 01:13:59,730
What section? What tribe?

1418
01:14:06,570 --> 01:14:09,990
That's a little river off the Monito.
This fellow is a Ducras from the

1419
01:14:09,990 --> 01:14:11,030
section. Dascaros?

1420
01:14:11,330 --> 01:14:14,190
Well, we never... Wait a minute. Bill,
where are the charts?

1421
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:17,150
In your room. Or maybe they're in mine.
Say, get a bottle of wine and keep

1422
01:14:17,150 --> 01:14:19,590
pumping this guy. This is it. Yeah,
sure. Hey, Pato!

1423
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,820
More vino. Ask him to come in. Here,

1424
01:14:22,540 --> 01:14:23,620
here, sit down. Take it easy.

1425
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,540
Friends, friends. Tell him we're
friends, Rosalita. I don't think I want

1426
01:14:27,540 --> 01:14:28,540
friends with this guy.

1427
01:14:28,820 --> 01:14:31,760
Something has told me he don't ring up
to true. Well, he's got the goods,

1428
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,380
he? Tell him what I think of him. Ah!

1429
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,080
Juju! Juju! What's the matter with him?

1430
01:14:36,860 --> 01:14:38,080
Here, just what I was thinking.

1431
01:14:38,440 --> 01:14:41,300
Juju. And Juju is a very bad business
boss. What?

1432
01:14:41,540 --> 01:14:42,900
Harry Harding's held in voodoo?

1433
01:14:43,100 --> 01:14:46,040
Sure, voodoo all through this country.
They worship the goat without the horns

1434
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,260
and the chicken's blood, and they bleed
him tone to like a dry sponge. What's

1435
01:14:49,260 --> 01:14:50,260
that?

1436
01:14:50,420 --> 01:14:53,160
I get it. They've been watching her in
the plane. They want her.

1437
01:14:53,660 --> 01:14:56,480
Sure, they want her. And they make her
something that'll make your hair white,

1438
01:14:56,540 --> 01:14:58,480
even to think about it. Well, we're not
going to let her go.

1439
01:14:58,700 --> 01:15:00,440
I think they're in here, Bill. Here we
are.

1440
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,560
I've got the charts of every section
within a radius of... What happened? Oh,

1441
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,800
the fool waiters. Listen, Alma. This
fellow isn't as gilt -edged as he made

1442
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,500
at first. Why not? Well, he got the
watch from another man. He doesn't know

1443
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:12,400
where Harry is. It's the other man who
knows, the one in the Descaros section.

1444
01:15:12,660 --> 01:15:13,900
Then I'll fly him to the other man.

1445
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:15,200
Let's see.

1446
01:15:15,420 --> 01:15:16,420
Descaros.

1447
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:17,940
The cable came from some wireless.

1448
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,160
Listen, Almond, there's something phony
about this guy. Now, I don't want you to

1449
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,240
rush headlong into anything without
first... Look, here it is, the scarlet.

1450
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,520
him if that's it. No, he wouldn't know a
map from a taper hide. Bill, do you

1451
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,980
think we ought to trust this guy right
off the bat? Who do you think we ought

1452
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:32,680
trust? Well, I thought maybe Senor
Estanza and I might take him out and

1453
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,900
check up on his story before... Just you
and Senor Estanza, eh? Well, at least

1454
01:15:35,900 --> 01:15:38,380
we ought to wait until the man who found
the compass shows up. The man who found

1455
01:15:38,380 --> 01:15:41,320
what compass? Haven't you got your belly
full of lying? Bill! All right, this

1456
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:42,320
just came from Pearlie Todd.

1457
01:15:42,780 --> 01:15:45,360
Chris Hunter's compass is a fake. I
rechecked with instrument company and

1458
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,740
compass is a 1934 model.

1459
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:48,420
Harding's was 1936.

1460
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,820
Discovered Hunter bought old compass and
forged numbers. Return at once. Well,

1461
01:15:51,900 --> 01:15:54,480
somebody had to think of a way to help
her. The compass gag got you here too,

1462
01:15:54,620 --> 01:15:56,440
mister. But now we've got a real lead.

1463
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:57,619
Harry's watch.

1464
01:15:57,620 --> 01:16:00,640
So let's be careful before we... Sure,
let's be careful. We got our first real

1465
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,960
breath of hope and we're not out of the
room two minutes before you're planning

1466
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:03,539
a scoop.

1467
01:16:03,540 --> 01:16:05,980
Are you going to keep kicking her life
and her brother's around like a

1468
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,520
I'll keep your trap shut. Let Alma tell
me that. Listen, Alma.

1469
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:10,360
Do you think I'd do that to your
brother?

1470
01:16:10,740 --> 01:16:12,100
I don't know what you wouldn't do.

1471
01:16:12,510 --> 01:16:15,130
You're not going to keep me from flying
out of here tomorrow. All right, then.

1472
01:16:15,230 --> 01:16:17,630
But listen, this man is voodoo. Do you
know what that means?

1473
01:16:17,850 --> 01:16:20,790
He belongs to the cruelest bunch of
savages in South America.

1474
01:16:21,070 --> 01:16:24,590
Now, that's why you must listen to me.
Ask him. He knows, and he'll tell you.

1475
01:16:24,590 --> 01:16:25,630
that true, Senor Estanza?

1476
01:16:26,050 --> 01:16:27,490
Senorita, I beg you, listen to Senor
Hunter.

1477
01:16:27,890 --> 01:16:30,850
Senor Estanza, that's his sound man.
He's been with him all through. That

1478
01:16:30,850 --> 01:16:31,850
no difference, Al.

1479
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,580
Well, what about the plane? I tripped
down here.

1480
01:16:34,820 --> 01:16:37,400
Hunter and I sold our equipment to get
you here, but I didn't know he had this

1481
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,880
compass trick up his sleeve. I wouldn't
have been part of any false hopes like

1482
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,780
that. And look at him now. When things
are on the level, he can't even crawl

1483
01:16:42,780 --> 01:16:46,680
straight. And I don't know why this
isn't just as good a time as any...

1484
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:47,680
isn't worth it.

1485
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:49,600
Look.

1486
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:53,140
You, me, go Dascaros.

1487
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:54,640
In Big Bird.

1488
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,240
Si.

1489
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:57,840
Dascaros. Pagaro.

1490
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,560
Grande. Come, Bill. Help me with the
plane.

1491
01:17:01,210 --> 01:17:02,310
I'm getting out of here at daylight.

1492
01:17:02,590 --> 01:17:03,690
Okay, I'm licked.

1493
01:17:03,890 --> 01:17:07,370
But I can shoot the tank off, can't I?
Say, listen, Alma. You said I was a

1494
01:17:07,370 --> 01:17:08,970
cameraman at heart, so don't blame me.

1495
01:17:09,190 --> 01:17:10,910
I guess no one could blame you for
anything.

1496
01:17:12,370 --> 01:17:13,930
Chris, what do you want to talk like
that for?

1497
01:17:14,530 --> 01:17:15,930
Well, I got to put him off their guard.

1498
01:17:16,190 --> 01:17:17,190
Well, what are you going to do now?

1499
01:17:17,750 --> 01:17:22,330
Well, sometime between now and daylight,
we're going to borrow Laughing Boy here

1500
01:17:22,330 --> 01:17:24,350
and take him for a nice long walk.

1501
01:17:25,070 --> 01:17:26,070
Aren't we, sweetheart?

1502
01:17:26,330 --> 01:17:27,530
Si. Si.

1503
01:17:28,630 --> 01:17:29,630
You'll see.

1504
01:17:54,330 --> 01:17:56,710
jungle, but I never imagined it was
anything like this.

1505
01:18:09,570 --> 01:18:10,570
Hey, wait a minute.

1506
01:18:10,630 --> 01:18:11,630
Keep quiet.

1507
01:18:16,790 --> 01:18:19,550
Yeah, there she is. Come on, get in the
shore there. Out of sight. Under those

1508
01:18:19,550 --> 01:18:20,550
trees.

1509
01:18:20,690 --> 01:18:21,930
Shut up.

1510
01:18:34,750 --> 01:18:39,510
It's a close call.

1511
01:18:39,770 --> 01:18:41,810
You think she saw us? I don't think so.
Listen.

1512
01:18:48,910 --> 01:18:50,090
What's he talking about now?

1513
01:18:50,390 --> 01:18:52,310
He say you lie. I don't think we fool
him some more.

1514
01:18:52,780 --> 01:18:53,739
Oh, yeah?

1515
01:18:53,740 --> 01:18:55,780
Well, maybe you'd better change places
with Blue Boy.

1516
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,280
Hey, remember the cut. Get in the key.

1517
01:18:57,900 --> 01:18:59,240
Yes, I think I feel better.

1518
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,560
And then he ain't so close to my back.
Yeah, I'll have him right up here

1519
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:03,459
the windshield.

1520
01:19:03,460 --> 01:19:05,720
From now on, you'll be the backseat
driver, Joselito.

1521
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:18,920
We must be getting pretty close.

1522
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,580
Yes. He said four times the sun must
fall and this is the fourth morning.

1523
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,900
Yeah. Look, boss, I don't like this.

1524
01:19:25,180 --> 01:19:27,640
He smiled like the canary would swallow
up the cat.

1525
01:19:28,460 --> 01:19:30,440
I'm wondering how you're going to live
barbecue.

1526
01:19:30,780 --> 01:19:31,960
This is no time for jokes.

1527
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Maybe you're right.

1528
01:19:34,440 --> 01:19:37,040
Maybe it's time we took a little casino
here out of circulation.

1529
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,340
Wait, wait. Well, it's him or us, boss.

1530
01:19:43,900 --> 01:19:45,740
These jukers are like crocodiles.

1531
01:19:47,700 --> 01:19:48,700
And maybe you're dead.

1532
01:19:49,610 --> 01:19:51,190
I got a hunch we better get going.

1533
01:20:04,310 --> 01:20:06,130
I don't like this kind of music, boss.

1534
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:09,110
They always have drums with native
dancers.

1535
01:20:09,390 --> 01:20:10,430
I've shot them everywhere.

1536
01:20:10,690 --> 01:20:12,050
Melees, South Seas, Africa.

1537
01:20:12,490 --> 01:20:13,830
Yeah, but not like these ones.

1538
01:20:14,870 --> 01:20:15,870
Want to go home?

1539
01:20:16,770 --> 01:20:19,310
My heart and my stomach, they want to go
home, but...

1540
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,240
Me, I make them stay here.

1541
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:23,840
Let's take that heart and stomach in the
shore.

1542
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:25,080
We want to have a look around.

1543
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:28,120
Grotto.

1544
01:20:41,540 --> 01:20:42,580
Yeah, I think I'll go upstairs.

1545
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,680
Let me have those glasses.

1546
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:48,720
What are you shivering about?

1547
01:20:49,050 --> 01:20:51,530
I was just thinking how cold I'm going
to be when they take off my skin and I

1548
01:20:51,530 --> 01:20:52,530
sit around in my bones.

1549
01:21:04,750 --> 01:21:06,330
Rosalina, bring up that hand camera.

1550
01:21:13,990 --> 01:21:14,990
What do you make of that?

1551
01:21:17,230 --> 01:21:18,230
That's voodoo, all right.

1552
01:21:20,170 --> 01:21:21,590
Yeah, you think this might be the place?

1553
01:21:22,090 --> 01:21:23,370
They're working themselves up to
something.

1554
01:21:25,210 --> 01:21:26,290
Let's get a closer look.

1555
01:21:43,910 --> 01:21:45,910
Awesome. This is the fire dance.

1556
01:22:42,540 --> 01:22:45,120
What's that clown in the chicken suit
stand for? That chicken suit is not

1557
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,200
That Louis drunk would mean sacrifice.

1558
01:23:07,580 --> 01:23:08,580
It's for the night.

1559
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,680
They don't burn him in the daytime. All
voodoo is at night.

1560
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:13,060
It gives us time to work out something.

1561
01:23:13,860 --> 01:23:14,860
Got any ideas?

1562
01:23:14,940 --> 01:23:16,600
I got lots of ideas, but they're no good
to him.

1563
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:24,960
Wait a minute.

1564
01:23:25,900 --> 01:23:27,300
They go for magic, don't they?

1565
01:23:27,540 --> 01:23:29,120
Sure, everything in voodoo is magic.

1566
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,040
Yeah?

1567
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,360
Did you bring along that reel of test
film for your sound outfit?

1568
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:35,940
Yes, you mean around the world stuff?
Why?

1569
01:23:37,340 --> 01:23:39,140
We're going to give them a little magic
of our own.

1570
01:25:01,870 --> 01:25:04,070
Tell them I'm the great medicine man and
I've come to take the bird man away.

1571
01:25:14,690 --> 01:25:15,690
He's no good, boss. He don't work.

1572
01:25:16,750 --> 01:25:18,390
How far down is that shot of the forest
fire?

1573
01:25:18,750 --> 01:25:20,070
It's coming up now pretty quick. Good.

1574
01:25:20,430 --> 01:25:23,050
Tell them their arrows don't hurt me and
to stop shooting them, or I'll bring

1575
01:25:23,050 --> 01:25:24,490
the big fire and burn their village
down.

1576
01:25:34,490 --> 01:25:35,490
It's working, Joselito.

1577
01:25:36,270 --> 01:25:38,790
Now tell them if they behave themselves,
I'll bring the great water and put the

1578
01:25:38,790 --> 01:25:39,790
fire out.

1579
01:25:52,130 --> 01:25:53,130
That's got to work.

1580
01:25:53,350 --> 01:25:54,710
Okay. Light that magnet.

1581
01:25:55,310 --> 01:25:58,310
If I don't get away with this, you beat
it down in Mopina and come back with the

1582
01:25:58,310 --> 01:25:59,310
Marines.

1583
01:27:10,860 --> 01:27:11,860
What's the leader?

1584
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:16,360
What's the leader?

1585
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:18,320
What's the leader? Do you take the boat?

1586
01:27:40,340 --> 01:27:43,140
Thank you

1587
01:27:43,140 --> 01:27:52,200
for

1588
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,160
watching.

1589
01:28:20,490 --> 01:28:21,490
Who cut your head?

1590
01:28:22,590 --> 01:28:23,590
Cut?

1591
01:28:23,650 --> 01:28:24,650
Are you all right?

1592
01:28:25,330 --> 01:28:26,330
Yes, I'm all right.

1593
01:28:29,130 --> 01:28:35,470
That looks

1594
01:28:35,470 --> 01:28:39,050
like we're in for it.

1595
01:28:40,430 --> 01:28:42,030
I might as well see what I can do for
Hardy.

1596
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:54,080
Look.

1597
01:28:55,060 --> 01:28:56,060
You see Boss Voodoo?

1598
01:28:56,540 --> 01:28:57,900
Every day they take a little blood away.

1599
01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:59,560
Yeah?

1600
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,500
He's full of fever, too. Probably got
malaria.

1601
01:29:03,740 --> 01:29:06,380
I'll get some chloroform, clean his arm
up so I can give him a hypo.

1602
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,860
Rosalita, get me that chloroform.

1603
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:01,820
Hand me that cotton.

1604
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:04,940
Bring me the hypo needle and some
plasma, Queenie.

1605
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,640
If we ever get out of this, I'm going to
have you gold -plated.

1606
01:30:28,980 --> 01:30:34,000
What's he squawking about now? He's
telling them we're evil gods, that our

1607
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,340
is bad magic, that we're killing their
bird man, that she'd only die by fire.

1608
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:43,000
Tell him I'm putting back the blood that
they took away, that only my magic can

1609
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:43,959
do that.

1610
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,380
Tell him I'm bringing him back to life.

1611
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,080
Yes, but boss... Go on, tell him.

1612
01:30:57,390 --> 01:31:01,090
What are you doing, delivering a speech?

1613
01:31:01,530 --> 01:31:02,530
I told him, boss.

1614
01:31:03,050 --> 01:31:04,470
I told him to bring back life to him.

1615
01:31:04,710 --> 01:31:07,270
I told him the next time the sun come up
on the river, the next time the birds

1616
01:31:07,270 --> 01:31:10,730
see the sun again, the bird man will
rise up again. When the sun comes up?

1617
01:31:11,190 --> 01:31:12,190
Tomorrow morning?

1618
01:31:12,290 --> 01:31:13,290
Sure, boss.

1619
01:31:13,690 --> 01:31:14,690
That's swell.

1620
01:31:14,870 --> 01:31:17,790
You know, there's ten chances to wonder
that this guy's got cerebral malaria,

1621
01:31:17,810 --> 01:31:18,810
don't you?

1622
01:31:22,190 --> 01:31:23,590
You've given me a sweet deadline.

1623
01:32:06,820 --> 01:32:07,840
It's the deadline, all right?

1624
01:32:08,220 --> 01:32:09,880
Yeah. Give me that ammonia, quick.

1625
01:32:11,540 --> 01:32:17,420
Come on, Harding.

1626
01:32:17,740 --> 01:32:19,300
Come on, just one little sound out of
it.

1627
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:21,380
Come on, boy, you can do it. You're game
enough for anything.

1628
01:32:23,900 --> 01:32:25,260
Hello, CQ.

1629
01:32:25,740 --> 01:32:27,360
Hello, hello, hello, CQ, hello.

1630
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,640
Come on, Gunter. All right, tell them
that's my magic.

1631
01:32:31,260 --> 01:32:37,440
What are they

1632
01:32:37,440 --> 01:32:43,460
doing to us?

1633
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:44,800
Boss, I can't...

1634
01:32:49,860 --> 01:32:55,840
How's it later? Tell this guy here that
we want... Hey, look.

1635
01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,200
I think I've got Chickenhead's job.

1636
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:01,680
Look at him.

1637
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,360
He's made me the head floor, Walker.

1638
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:05,920
I'm taking over the store.

1639
01:33:07,500 --> 01:33:09,280
Tell him to crack out with that boat.
We're leaving.

1640
01:33:20,830 --> 01:33:23,270
Hey. You get the boat, but you say
please come back soon.

1641
01:33:24,170 --> 01:33:27,610
He'll never last four days on that
river. He's got to have a real doctor

1642
01:33:27,610 --> 01:33:28,610
he's done for.

1643
01:33:28,630 --> 01:33:29,610
But, boss, what do we...

1644
01:33:29,610 --> 01:33:47,390
But,

1645
01:33:47,390 --> 01:33:48,390
boss, what did she...

1646
01:33:50,450 --> 01:33:53,330
Holy! Harry's ship. If we took the roof
off that joint, she could spot it. Well,

1647
01:33:53,350 --> 01:33:55,570
you're not going to bring it down here.
Well, her brother's dying, isn't he? She

1648
01:33:55,570 --> 01:33:57,870
could get him to a coast hospital and
pour out. Well, what about here with all

1649
01:33:57,870 --> 01:34:00,030
these? Oh, it's a cinch. I've got
control of these jitterbugs.

1650
01:34:00,410 --> 01:34:03,370
We'd better take that boat. We do, and
it's 101 he dies on the way. Then she'll

1651
01:34:03,370 --> 01:34:06,230
drop in here after we're gone. No, she's
coming in here while I'm here, and

1652
01:34:06,230 --> 01:34:07,230
she's going to fly Harry out.

1653
01:34:07,470 --> 01:34:09,730
Tell him to get the roof off that joint.
Tell him I'm bringing the bird woman

1654
01:34:09,730 --> 01:34:10,790
down to take the bird man away.

1655
01:34:29,070 --> 01:34:30,770
Boy, you're hit for home. Hey, you.

1656
01:34:33,250 --> 01:34:34,650
Stop picketing. Get to work.

1657
01:34:40,690 --> 01:34:41,690
Narrowing your circle now.

1658
01:34:45,410 --> 01:34:46,410
Wait a minute.

1659
01:34:46,810 --> 01:34:48,010
What's the matter with me?

1660
01:34:48,530 --> 01:34:50,410
Something. I must be getting old.

1661
01:34:50,630 --> 01:34:51,630
Come on.

1662
01:34:54,950 --> 01:34:56,290
Boss, I don't think we should do this.

1663
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,440
I'm not only going to photograph it.

1664
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,980
It's going to be exclusive for Union
Newsreel. Yeah, but Bill Dennis, he will

1665
01:35:02,980 --> 01:35:05,580
crazy. He'll say you planned the whole
thing and he'll start to fight. These

1666
01:35:05,580 --> 01:35:08,360
people are like animals. They'll all
start to fight. Hey, Bill Dennis won't

1667
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:09,360
we're within a hundred miles.

1668
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:12,360
Yeah, but how are you going to hide it
from him? I'll get into this phone ring.

1669
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:16,320
I'll make a signal there to send the
whole village down to meet him. Tell him

1670
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:19,180
he wants to please his new medicine man,
just drag out the red rug and strike up

1671
01:35:19,180 --> 01:35:20,880
the band. We're going to put a show on
for him.

1672
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:26,560
Is that

1673
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,300
tight enough?

1674
01:35:29,610 --> 01:35:30,610
He's solid. He don't come off.

1675
01:35:32,250 --> 01:35:33,250
But look.

1676
01:35:33,790 --> 01:35:34,790
Yeah.

1677
01:35:39,950 --> 01:35:41,290
There's charcoal on it. It's a trick.

1678
01:35:42,030 --> 01:35:43,610
I can't get my breeze.

1679
01:35:45,250 --> 01:35:46,270
No, it won't get by.

1680
01:35:50,010 --> 01:35:52,650
Here, dab this zinc ointment on. That
will look like those other monkeys with

1681
01:35:52,650 --> 01:35:53,650
their arms painted white.

1682
01:35:55,910 --> 01:35:58,210
The last guy that had this on was no
Easter Nelly.

1683
01:36:14,220 --> 01:36:15,220
Nice fire, honey.

1684
01:36:15,740 --> 01:36:17,300
She'll land in a minute. Help me on this
thing.

1685
01:36:42,440 --> 01:36:44,620
Keep a smile on your face and make them
believe you think they're friendly.

1686
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:48,140
Well, friendly or not, I saw a plane in
that village and I'm going in.

1687
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:49,379
All right.

1688
01:36:49,380 --> 01:36:50,540
Here they are. Let's go.

1689
01:36:57,060 --> 01:37:00,180
Hey, I got them, Joseita. I got a
perfect long shot of their landing. My

1690
01:37:00,180 --> 01:37:01,580
Dennis is making the close -up for me
now.

1691
01:37:02,940 --> 01:37:04,600
Can you pan that camera under all this
camouflage?

1692
01:37:04,860 --> 01:37:09,380
Sure. She can say yes and she can say
no. Oh, that's swell, swell. Here, give

1693
01:37:09,380 --> 01:37:10,380
the tape.

1694
01:37:12,490 --> 01:37:13,490
right up the street.

1695
01:37:14,250 --> 01:37:18,010
When they get here, right here at this
chicken coop, she'll get her first place

1696
01:37:18,010 --> 01:37:19,010
of the plane.

1697
01:37:19,470 --> 01:37:21,090
Take these spears here for your
sideline.

1698
01:37:22,030 --> 01:37:23,030
46 feet.

1699
01:37:23,150 --> 01:37:24,690
46 feet. I get you, boss.

1700
01:37:24,890 --> 01:37:29,750
She'll start for the ship, and when she
gets about here, 38 feet, she'll see

1701
01:37:29,750 --> 01:37:31,490
Harry for the first time and go for a
hit.

1702
01:37:32,770 --> 01:37:34,730
I'll remind her after that. I'll have
her in this one.

1703
01:37:39,870 --> 01:37:41,950
They seem anxious for us to come into
the village.

1704
01:37:42,830 --> 01:37:44,230
I photograph natives everywhere.

1705
01:37:44,430 --> 01:37:45,910
The way these are acting, it looks bad.

1706
01:37:54,790 --> 01:37:56,630
Hey, boss, they come up the wrong
street.

1707
01:37:59,970 --> 01:38:02,790
I'll get them turned around. Stay on
this camera until you get the long shot

1708
01:38:02,790 --> 01:38:05,650
where she sees the plane. Savvy, poke it
up. And when I give you the signal,

1709
01:38:05,790 --> 01:38:08,890
move over to that camera and get the
close -up of where she meets her

1710
01:38:23,470 --> 01:38:25,590
Hey, take your hands off her, you mug.
Be careful, Bill.

1711
01:38:25,870 --> 01:38:27,170
Don't fly off the handle now.

1712
01:38:28,850 --> 01:38:31,290
He looks pretty off, but probably means
well.

1713
01:38:34,710 --> 01:38:37,390
Yeah, maybe so, but I don't like him.
How can I do?

1714
01:38:39,590 --> 01:38:40,590
I'll attract him.

1715
01:38:47,950 --> 01:38:49,730
I wish I knew what this guy was up to.

1716
01:38:50,490 --> 01:38:52,190
I think he's leading us to something.

1717
01:39:03,030 --> 01:39:04,930
You must have come down hard, Bill.

1718
01:39:11,070 --> 01:39:12,070
There's another one.

1719
01:39:12,310 --> 01:39:13,630
That must be part of a ceremony.

1720
01:39:20,810 --> 01:39:21,810
It's Harry.

1721
01:39:21,850 --> 01:39:22,850
Must be.

1722
01:39:25,410 --> 01:39:27,430
Hey, wait a minute. We're friends.

1723
01:39:27,770 --> 01:39:29,650
Me, you, friends.

1724
01:39:30,110 --> 01:39:31,110
Say, what's the idea?

1725
01:39:33,550 --> 01:39:34,550
Harry, darling.

1726
01:39:35,530 --> 01:39:36,530
Norma.

1727
01:39:36,890 --> 01:39:38,690
Harry, it's Alma.

1728
01:39:39,570 --> 01:39:40,610
It's Alma, dear.

1729
01:39:41,110 --> 01:39:42,590
I've come to take you home.

1730
01:39:43,450 --> 01:39:45,110
Norma? Yes.

1731
01:39:54,290 --> 01:39:59,250
How does he seem, Alma?

1732
01:39:59,490 --> 01:40:00,730
He's been awfully sick, Bill.

1733
01:40:01,090 --> 01:40:03,050
But his head's cool, and his...

1734
01:40:03,260 --> 01:40:04,260
Pulse is good.

1735
01:40:20,500 --> 01:40:22,440
Boy, this guy puts on a great act.

1736
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:35,700
That's about enough of this. Oh, but
this is mine, old rooster.

1737
01:40:36,980 --> 01:40:38,540
Wait a minute. I'm going to get tough
about this.

1738
01:40:40,020 --> 01:40:41,280
Bill, let him have it, please.

1739
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:43,040
We've got to get the dog.

1740
01:40:48,020 --> 01:40:50,100
Well, I wish I knew what this big cheese
wanted me to do.

1741
01:40:52,820 --> 01:40:53,980
He wanted to take him away.

1742
01:41:39,620 --> 01:41:40,620
You see, we're not...

1743
01:42:13,420 --> 01:42:14,420
Let's get out of here.

1744
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:16,740
It's motor. It's flooded.

1745
01:42:22,780 --> 01:42:25,040
Say, here come the chicken heads. They
must have changed their mind. Let's get

1746
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:26,040
going now.

1747
01:43:31,310 --> 01:43:32,310
What are you going to do now, Chris?

1748
01:43:32,450 --> 01:43:33,450
Start paddling.

1749
01:43:41,050 --> 01:43:41,550
There

1750
01:43:41,550 --> 01:43:52,470
she

1751
01:43:52,470 --> 01:43:53,470
is.

1752
01:43:54,210 --> 01:43:55,210
Hold her.

1753
01:43:55,550 --> 01:43:56,790
She's grown so big.

1754
01:43:57,170 --> 01:43:58,170
Harry.

1755
01:43:58,710 --> 01:44:00,050
Darling, you look wonderful.

1756
01:44:04,870 --> 01:44:06,730
Bill, how much stuff did you get of the
rescue?

1757
01:44:06,970 --> 01:44:09,750
Well, Pearlie, I didn't get anything of
the rescue, but I got some swell stuff

1758
01:44:09,750 --> 01:44:13,330
after we got on board. What? You didn't
get the... You were with the rescue

1759
01:44:13,330 --> 01:44:16,450
party, weren't you? Sure I was, but I
sent you a cable car. You had a camera

1760
01:44:16,450 --> 01:44:19,690
with you, didn't you? Of course I did,
and I used it, but the big cheese of the

1761
01:44:19,690 --> 01:44:22,910
outfit had it taken away from me. The
big cheese, eh? I don't know what all

1762
01:44:22,910 --> 01:44:25,610
squawking is about. I couldn't possibly
have photographed that rescue.

1763
01:44:25,870 --> 01:44:27,250
It was impossible, Mr... Impossible?

1764
01:44:27,870 --> 01:44:30,950
Would you two people like to see some
pictures of yourselves? Come with me.

1765
01:44:30,950 --> 01:44:32,310
along. Here, take a look at that.

1766
01:44:32,590 --> 01:44:36,370
Well, where did that come from? I...
See, that must have been made when

1767
01:44:36,370 --> 01:44:39,110
The only person who could have taken
that was... Was the big cheese Chris

1768
01:44:39,110 --> 01:44:41,190
Hunter. He flew into town with it four
days ago.

1769
01:44:41,530 --> 01:44:42,530
But then it was Chris.

1770
01:44:43,850 --> 01:44:45,630
Don't you understand? It was Chris who
did it all.

1771
01:44:46,710 --> 01:44:49,930
Where's Chris Hunter? Is he here? No, he
went out on a hot one a couple of hours

1772
01:44:49,930 --> 01:44:53,110
ago. The cops had two gun hits and
trapped in a flat at the corner of

1773
01:44:53,110 --> 01:44:53,789
and Broadway.

1774
01:44:53,790 --> 01:44:54,790
Townsend and Broadway?

1775
01:44:54,830 --> 01:44:56,410
Hey, let's get a picture there with...

1776
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,160
I got a smell shot of him from here.
Don't do him no favors, boss.

1777
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,960
Hey, what's the matter with you? Are you
crazy?

1778
01:45:27,180 --> 01:45:29,000
Chris, stay down. You'll be hurt. Oh,
I'm all right.

1779
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,980
Hey, your hand's bleeding. You're hurt.
That's nothing. What do you mean it's

1780
01:45:32,980 --> 01:45:34,480
nothing? A public character like you
wounded?

1781
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:36,520
Here, here.

1782
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:41,460
Now, don't move. Don't move. Look, I'm
going to pan down to you, and when I do,

1783
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:44,980
give me that cameo look, baby. Oh, turn
it on for me. This will be the greatest

1784
01:45:44,980 --> 01:45:46,100
newsreel shot I ever made.

1785
01:45:47,510 --> 01:45:50,490
Hello, Gabby. How's this for pretty
pictures? He's a comic little guy

1786
01:45:50,490 --> 01:45:53,650
around the world with grease on his face
and a camera for a heart. Maybe I can

1787
01:45:53,650 --> 01:45:54,870
show him how it feels to be a man.
