Calling VTW.

This is VRE A Q.

Victoria Mason calling Rangoon.

Hello Rangoon.

Reporting my position.

I'm flying over the ruins of Angkor in

Cambodia.

VRE A Q, bye.

MR. MOTO? MR. MOTO? YES? Mifune ancient

bone here. Oh, so?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this

ancient relic contains my toothbrush.

Uh-huh.

I must have dropped it.

Kong Jim Long?

A wreck on track you? It's only an

airplane.

Hey, that lamp was a fake.

Hey, look at that baby. Must weigh a

ton.

Studios will be fighting to buy this

stuff.

If you don't stop rocking this boat,

they'll have to buy a crocodile to GET

IT.

HELP!

HELP! HELP!

OW!

OW!

HELP!

HEY, HE'S COMING. HE'S COMING AFTER COME

ON, GET ME OUT OF HERE. HURRY UP AND

OOH! OH, NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID. YOU

SCARED HIM AWAY. I wanted to wrestle

with him. Let me get a good shot of him.

Listen, I've worked with seals and I've

worked in an act with lions, but if you

think I'm going to play a love scene

with a CROCODILE, YOU'RE CRAZY.

LUCK, CHECK.

WELL, I feel a lot safer I was up there

with him. You know who that is? No. It's

Victoria Mason. She's flying around the

world.

Oh, yeah. I read about her in the Saigon

newspaper. Got to grab a flash for the

newsreels. By the time we get back with

the film, she'll be an old lady.

Luck!

She's in trouble. The ship's on fire.

Come on, hurry up, guys.

KONG JIM LONG?

CHOI CHOI. HELP, PLEASE.

Don't Don't worry.

Oh, boy. What a break. An exclusive on

the Mason crash where we can name our

own figure. Hopefully find her alive.

Look, there's smoke over there. COME ON,

YOU MUGS, STEP on it.

Help me unfasten.

Quite a dramatic arrival.

Gas line caught fire. I bailed out just

in time.

Well, I guess that's the end of my

flight.

Pardon me, but what was your destination

when this unfortunate accident occurred?

I'm Victoria Mason. I was flying around

the world. You'll forgive me, but we are

so out of touch with events here in

Tongmoy.

Permit me to introduce myself. I'm Mr.

Moto.

What are you doing in a country like

this? I've been excavating in these

ancient ruins in a pursuit of

archaeology.

Gwai Dai Kundak.

Now the Gwai devils even come from the

sky.

Oh, Miss Mason, may I introduce Bokor?

He's the high priest and a very learned

man. How do you do? Is there a village

nearby? There is the royal village of

Tongmoy. Would you mind taking me there?

Oh, I'm sure Raja Ali will welcome Miss

Mason, sir.

Unexpected arrival.

His highness will be honored. Follow me.

Oh, Mr. Moto, I wouldn't let any of your

men get too near the wreck. The gas

tanks might explode. Oh, so? I think the

danger is over now.

Goodbye.

Hey, you You wait here.

HURRY UP, CHECK.

WHERE'S MISS MASON? DID SHE BAIL OUT? IS

SHE ALL RIGHT? THE YOUNG LADY, she

landed safely in her parachute, I'm so

glad to say. Where is she now? In the

village. We'll take a run over there

after we get a few feet of this cracker.

Come on, get out of there. Winnie, this

is no X-ray machine.

May I ask where you gentlemen are from?

Chicago. I'm from Cactus Bend. That's

Oh, yes, in Arizona. You mean to say

you've heard of it? I studied the

fossilized tracks of the dinosaur in

that vicinity. That's enough of that,

check.

Can we get to this village through the

jungle? It will be easier to follow the

river and safer. Then we'll take the

river.

We got room for you if you'd like to go

along with us. Thank you, but I have

work to do here. I'm an archaeologist.

What?

See you later.

Perhaps.

What do you make of that gravedigger?

If I was casting a horror picture, I'd

have him play the murderer.

Your highness. Bokor brings in the white

woman.

How dare you interrupt me like this? I

almost had my problem solved.

Did you say the white woman?

Yes, Kong Long. Have her brought in.

His highness, the Raja Ali of Tongmoy. I

have been told of your miraculous

escape, which pleased me very much.

Thank you, your highness.

Allow me to extend the hospitality of my

country.

You're very kind, but if you'll furnish

me with guards and supplies, I'll start

back to Saigon. I had hoped that you

would be my guest for a couple of weeks.

Well,

really, your highness, I I'm sorry, but

Unfortunately, you will have to remain

for a while at least. My guides are away

on a hunting trip. They will be gone for

a week at least. Your highness, we can

send the white woman to her destination

by canoe. No, no. We must not risk it,

Boka. The river is very dangerous.

I'm sure that Miss Mason will find her

stay in Tongmoy very pleasant. No, your

highness. We shall try to make her as

comfortable as possible. Kima here will

show you to the royal guest house. Yuck

no, dinya.

Thank you, your highness. Come on, come

on, tangway, tangway.

Okay, boys, okay, we're just going to

get a shot of Miss Mason. Yes, sir, we

got a press card right in the pocket.

Show me your letter. What is the meaning

of this? Who are these men? Manny

Weston, American Society of

Cinematographers.

Chick Davis is the name, formerly of

Actors' Equity. Hi, Miss Mason, glad

you're all right. Well, where did you

boys pop up from? We were on our way up

the river when you cried. By what RIGHT

DO YOU ENTER MY COUNTRY? I DON'T GET

SORE, YOUR HONOR. This is a big scoop

for us. Scoop? Keep your pants on, King,

we'll get the picture. You are a

distinguished highness, the Raja of

Tongmoy. Oh, pardon me.

Move over a little, Raja.

If you'll just stand here, Miss Mason.

Well, don't you think I would powder my

nose first? I should say not. The worse

you look, the better.

Say, I've got a swell idea. Get in next

to Miss Mason, will you, Raja? Now,

shake hands with her and give her that

big old smile. You know, you're

welcoming her to Tongmoy, see?

You mean I am to appear in the cinema?

That's right, King. Now, let's see that

personality. This sorcery is not

permitted. Take your machine and go. Oh,

now, look, General, there's no devil in

box, just a movie camera. Look, Miss

Mason, will you tell Dracula there that

we're not going to hurt anybody? My

people think you bring evil upon them

through this magic. His majesty knows

better than that, don't you, Raja? Why,

of course he does.

Here, honey, you get in the picture,

too. Step right up there.

Stop. She's the Raja's favorite wife.

It's all right, Boka, let them proceed.

I warn you, it is displeasing to the

gods to have the white man capture your

image. The cinema is not dangerous.

THAT'S TELLING THEM, RAJA.

UH WHAT WHAT SHALL I DO? MISS Mason has

just crashed in the jungle. You meet

her. You shake hands with her. You give

her the old welcoming stuff. You got it?

Okay, action. Uh

Uh

I welcome you to Tongmoy.

Good. That's swell. Talk it up, old

King.

It was indeed a pleasure to have saved

your life.

Kima.

She's dead.

What happened? The white devils have

killed your favorite wife with their

machine. Who did?

What? We didn't have anything to do with

it. But but they couldn't have done it.

TAKE THEM AWAY. YUCK NUTTY.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE EXCITEMENT,

PLEASE? The Raja's wife just dropped

dead. Oh, so? Those two real men were

making some pictures and she just fell

over.

I warned them, but no one would listen.

Take their machine.

The high priest here thinks she was

killed by magic from the camera.

Tell the Raja it isn't possible.

Everything is possible here in the

Orient.

You can't let anything happen to them.

Kima.

Well, it's it's dreadful, I know, but

those men had nothing to do with her

death.

That is for Boka to decide.

Tonight I shall write my report to the

French Commissioner.

Come.

What will you do to them? They shall

have a trial. The gods will decide

whether or not they are guilty.

Can't you do something? I'm very sorry,

but I find it wise never to interfere

with the customs of other people.

Come. I will show you to the guest

house. Have the body removed at once.

Young guy, you did.

Wait, please.

Isn't this a fine stone? It belonged to

one of my wives.

Poor dear, she fell in love with one of

my guards. I gave her a beautiful

funeral.

This would look lovely, I knew. Yes.

I have decided. Well, that's very kind

of you, but about those men.

Are you going to let a superstitious

priest make his own laws?

I haven't much authority anymore. The

French allow me to keep this small

kingdom as long as there is peace. If I

don't humor Boka, there may be

dissension among the people.

Are you happy in your new quarters? Oh,

yes, thank you.

But won't you please do something? Yes.

Allow me to provide you with some other

clothes.

Well, I much prefer you'd help those

men.

And why are you so interested in them?

Well, only because the charge is so

ridiculous. Well, don't trouble your

pretty little head about such trivial

matters. I'll speak to Boka on their

behalf in the morning. Oh, thank you,

your highness. Good night.

Good night.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

OW.

HE'S FLESH BURNED. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT,

YOU DIRTY RAT? BY THE TEST OF THE FIRE,

the white devils are guilty.

Oh, Shiva the destroyer.

The decision is thine.

These cursed unbelievers have been tried

and found guilty.

If their death will be displeasing to

you, send us a sign.

The gods do not answer. Take the

prisoners. Where are you? WHAT ARE YOU

GOING TO DO TO US? COME ON, YOU SPEAK

ENGLISH. TELL US.

IT'S THE WALL, SEE? YOU'RE NOT GOING TO

THROW US DOWN THERE?

NAGA. WHAT IS IT?

IT SMELLS LIKE FILM.

HEY, LOOK.

Who are you?

You profane this holy place with these

strangers.

Take them away. Who dares give me

orders? I am the high priest of Shiva.

You saw the sign of the fiery Naga.

The gods are angry.

Remove these white men. Who are you, old

man? I do not know you. Of course you do

not.

But I know you.

Boka.

You are a false priest. You speak lies,

old fool. Where do you come from?

I am on a long pilgrimage from the

Himalayas.

My body is feeble.

But my eyes are sharp. So sharp that I

can see through walls.

And the deceit of men. Will you not

perform a deed of sorcery so that we may

see and believe? We of the higher

knowledge disdain the tricks of

conjurers. Or perhaps you do not know

the ancient secrets. Yo. Bring their own

basket.

You may have good use for your

knowledge.

Shall I open it? Yes.

Stop it. Stop it.

Snake charming

is an inferior art.

In my country

it is done to amuse the feeble-minded.

If we ever get out of here alive, we

ought to sign him up for life. Now, you

try it, Boka. No. You are a demon. No,

only an old pilgrim with a slight

knowledge of true magic.

Unbind these men and take them back to

the village. But they are murderers.

The karma of blood is blood.

Freedom.

Lie die.

Watch it, wise mister. Say, would you

mind uh doing some of those stunts in

the daylight so we get a few pictures?

Go before the wrath of the gods

overtakes you. Okay, he was just asking.

Are you coming to the village with us? I

would meditate

alone.

I suppose now that you have your camera

back you'll be traveling on. Not for a

while yet.

What are you doing? Checking the focus.

May I look?

Sure. I always wanted to know what you

see through these gadgets. You don't see

anything through there that isn't set.

Oh.

No, not there. Over here.

Thanks, I don't see a thing.

Well, no wonder you're closing the wrong

eye.

There.

Oh, now I see.

But they're standing on their heads.

Yeah, I know. You mean things always

look upside down through this? Uh-huh,

especially lovebirds.

I suppose you're quite an authority on

love. I should say. That's why I'm here.

The Raja sent for me to get a few

pointers.

I should think after what happened last

night you'd want to get out of here.

What about you?

Well, the Raja's promised to supply me

with guards back to Saigon.

See, I don't like the way he's stalling

you.

Why don't you get packed and we'll take

you back to Saigon in our canoe. Good

morning, Mr. Marty. Good morning, Miss

Vicky. Hello, Mr. Moto. I'm so glad to

find you alive. Thanks. I've heard of

your rather unusual experience last

night. You were taken to a hidden temple

in the forest, I believe. That's right.

I'm very much interested in that temple.

There's no record of it in any of my

books yet. I have heard it is an

excellent example of Khmer architecture.

Well, I wouldn't know. I was more

interested in staying out of the well.

I'm so sorry you didn't see the

interior. I have never been able to

secure permission to explore it. You

see, my museum would pay very well for

any information

such as uh

pictures.

You mean you'd buy some shots if we get

them? I'd be more than delighted. We'll

leave this morning. We mustn't do that.

Why not? They'd kill you if they caught

you there.

They'll never catch us. We'll take a

back way through the jungle. Good

morning, Mr. Chick. Oh.

Well, everything's here except a couple

of cases of film that are missing. Hey,

where'd you get the fancy outfit?

Present from the Raja. Like it? Yeah.

Come on, Chick, pack up. We're going on

location. Right away? Yeah, we're going

to get some shots for Mr. Moto. You'll

be very careful, of course, won't you?

Hey, where are we going? Uh don't worry.

Chick and I have been in tougher spots

than this before. Oh, so? I don't like

the way you said that. Oh, let's get out

of here, all of us.

What you got? Catch a beetle? No.

What is it?

Oh, this?

It's a poison dart from a blowgun. Very

interesting. That's how the Raja's wife

was killed.

When did you find this out? Yesterday.

When you were being taken to prison. You

mean to say you were going to let Bokar

kill us when you knew about this dart

all the time? I wish to keep my own head

on my shoulders.

Would you like to keep it as a souvenir?

Please. Good day. Good day.

And good luck with the pictures.

Lovable character.

Marty, don't go to that temple. Temple?

I'd rather stay right here.

There's something about those ruins Mr.

Moto wants to find out and it isn't

archaeology. I don't care what he wants

to picture for. We're going to get those

shots if it's the last thing we do.

It probably will be. Come on, Chick. See

you later. Maybe.

Look, Chick.

I used to know an undertaker looked like

that.

Oh, pipe down, you guys, wouldn't you?

I'm nervous enough as IT IS.

QUIET!

IT WORKED.

WHAT WAS THAT? UH JUST A JUNGLE BIRD.

OH, it sounded like somebody getting

their throat cut.

Come on, Chick.

Boy, I was sure scared for a minute.

Hey, Marty.

Let's rest a minute, will you?

I'm dragging.

We must be near the temple now.

Hey, Chick, look.

Cute little fellow. What is it? I don't

know.

Oh, me.

Listen.

Something's following us.

What?

What's going on, Chick? Don't let it

sneak up and bite us.

It's Vicky.

We almost took you for a hyena or

something. Oh, thanks. What are you

doing here? Oh, I thought I'd like to

see the temple, too. Listen, young lady,

you're going back. Oh, no, I'm not. I'm

going to see all the sights while I'm

here. But it's dangerous.

Not while I'm with you, Doc.

Come on, we better get started.

I'll carry this.

You would.

Look, will you go back like I told you

to? No. Every time a dame tags ALONG

SOMETHING HAPPENS.

NO!

HELP! HELP!

IS THE CAMERA ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW. WILL I get out from under

it?

Hey, where am I? You're in a tiger pit.

Well, I bet I got here before the tiger.

GET ME OUT OF HERE! AND HOW'S THE

CAMERA?

HEY, I MISSED these spikes by about an

inch.

Come on, Marty, let's go back. What's

the use of going back? There's a temple

right over there. Come on.

It's the well they were going to toss us

into.

Hey, Chick, look down here.

Skeletons.

One of those might have been us.

Something uncanny about this place.

Yeah, and spooky, too.

Just think.

This temple has stood here in the jungle

lost for centuries.

I wonder who built it.

What happened to the people? Who were

they? Who cares? Let's get this shot and

get out of here. Where do you want this

thing? Right up here, Chick.

Always the hard way with you.

Take a look at that composition.

Oh, let's do our raving when we're home

safe in a projection room, will you?

Hey, Doc.

What's eating you? Look.

Boom!

It's the same kind of dart that killed

the Raja's wife. Careful, it's probably

poison. Here, take it. What for? I'm no

dart collector. I'll bet you there's

plenty more where that came from. Yeah,

let's get out of here. Oh.

Ixnay on gobo.

Hey, you want to be careful WHERE YOU'RE

SHOOTING THOSE HARPOONS.

Are you not satisfied with one escape

from the wrath of Siva? We was only

making flickers, Reverend.

That's the guy did all the magic tricks.

This holy place is forbidden to

unbelievers.

Go before I call down the vengeance of

the gods upon you.

HEY!

WHY YOU OLD SON OF A TRYING TO THROW YOU

OUT FOR IT? NOW, WAIT a minute, Marty.

Use your head.

Don't, Marty. Oh, all right. Leave me

alone.

Come on, we're washed up here for good.

Bokar.

Remember, my eyes can see through rocks

as well as walls.

The diamond.

And our eyes have seen you, learned one.

You do not guard the temple well

when strangers are allowed to pry into

the secrets of the past. We do our best,

Guru Ji.

I do not think the whites will venture

here again. And what of the other?

The stranger who calls himself Moto.

Even now he digs up the graves of the

ancient ones. We can do nothing. He

travels under the protection of the

French.

May not this man die? You risk death and

destruction for all of us at the hands

of the white soldiers? In my country

we have ways of dealing with such

godless ones.

Guruji, you are greater than I. Will you

not rid us of this man who profanes the

sacred places?

Do you fear to slay him? I may not risk

it.

Leave me then,

and fear no more.

And you will kill him?

When the sun rises

on another day,

you shall not be troubled by this

unbeliever.

Go now, my son.

I would consult the gods.

Our friend the guru has played into our

hands.

Look, your highness.

You knew it, your highness.

That should be enough.

These foreign birds are not such

difficult targets.

So, it's Boca.

Well, I shall continue to play the fool

for a while longer.

When the time comes, Boca will discover

who is the stupid one.

What do you think of my party?

Well, I I've never seen anything quite

like it.

It's all arranged for you, my dear.

Hey, you're missing the floor show.

Tonight, I outdo myself. I have saved a

great surprise for the last course.

Where's Mr. Moto? Wasn't he invited?

Aren't you interested in my surprise?

Well, if you tell me now, it won't be a

surprise.

Old Gobo's getting over him like a tent.

Clever, isn't he?

Rajah, if it strikes you like I got a

couple little kill you. You don't have

to go that far. Ah, but look at this.

Look at this.

The boy's hot tonight.

Ah.

And I know another that's a dinger. Has

anybody got a watch I can borrow? Oh,

it's all right. It's all right. Don't

worry about it. Where?

Any kind of a watch. You may have mine,

but

please be careful. It's a gift from

Napoleon the third to my grandfather,

and I prize it very highly. Oh, don't

worry about it, Rajah. Are those real

rubies?

Oh, yes.

Let me have a handkerchief, Marty.

No, listen.

Oh, I can do it, wet blanket. Give me a

handkerchief.

Now, first I

I wrap the watch in the handkerchief.

Uh-huh.

See?

And then? And then I dunk it in the palm

wine.

Look, it's all right. Don't worry.

Into the palm wine. Then I give it to

someone to hold, so you know I'm not

fooling you.

I shall be delighted to offer my

assistance. I'm so sorry to be late.

Will you please accept my humble

apologies? Please, sit down. Good

evening.

Our guest here is about to astound us

with his magic.

Mr. Moto, will you hold that?

I'll get a rock.

Ah, there it is. Here.

Now, hit the watch with the rock. Go

ahead. Hit it hard. Hard? Sure.

Go ahead. Hit it again. Here, give it to

me. I'll give it a good smack.

Now.

SEIZE THE CHARLATAN. TAKE HIM AWAY.

WAIT, PLEASE.

Shouldn't you return his hand his watch?

You owe me a watch.

Sure, anything. How much? $1.

You look upset, Boko. No, it is nothing.

Something you ate, perhaps?

My dear people,

I have chosen this occasion to make an

important announcement.

As you know, a vacancy exists in my

royal harem.

I am pleased to bestow upon our

distinguished guest, Miss Victoria

Mason, the title of Rani Victoria the

First.

May I present my next wife.

I realize what an honor has been

bestowed upon me, and I I'm overwhelmed.

I can only say that I will try to be a

good Rani to the people and for the

people of Tong Moi. Did you hear what I

heard? Well, for a minute I thought she

promised to marry the guy.

Your people don't seem to be very

pleased.

They're too happy to speak.

My dear people, this is an occasion for

feasting and merrymaking. In honor of

our distinguished guests from across the

sea, I've had a truly exceptional dish

prepared.

Oh, look. First home-cooked meal I've

seen since we left Frisco.

Dead pigeon.

Go now, and after you've killed him,

come to the temple.

The Guru has failed us.

We must act ourselves.

I am curious to know what I shall find

among Mr. Moto's effects.

Sleep well, Mr. Moto.

Wait for me.

Mr. Moto.

Mr. Moto.

Mr. Moto.

Mr. Moto.

Hey, Marty. Come on here and see what I

got.

I'm not interested.

All right, stay sorry then.

His gal turned him down to be Mrs. Raja.

HEY, MARTY. MARTY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PAT, WE'RE LEAVING

HERE. I JUST SAW VICKY on the trail of

the temple. I'm not interested. Boko and

his stooge are trailing right behind

her, and they're not out for exercise.

Whatever she does is her own business.

If Boko catches her, he'll throw her in

the well.

Nah. Aw, look, Marty. She's a good kid.

Now, we ought to do something to help

her, even if she is going to marry the

Raja. Listen,

she isn't going to marry the Raja. If

you don't hurry, she won't marry

anybody. All right, you go down the

river and find our canoe. I'll go to the

temple. Be careful. Don't worry ABOUT

ME.

THE YANKS ARE COMING.

OH, LET GO OF ME.

VICKY!

I tell you I was merely taking a walk. I

didn't intend to disturb anything. I do

not believe you.

Who sent you? No one.

You will save yourself much trouble by

answering now.

What is your connection with the

Japanese, Mr. Moto? I don't know

anything about him.

We shall see.

Yow, bring your instruments.

What are you doing? Who is this white

woman? She's an accomplice of Moto, who

would help him defeat our purpose. She

refuses to answer my questions.

You are a fool, Boko.

You will never learn her secrets by such

clumsy methods.

I'm certain she will talk, Guruji.

She will lie.

With her dying breath, she will lie.

Stand aside.

In the ancient monasteries

of the roof of the world,

the wise ones teach ways of forcing the

truth

from unwilling lips.

Om mani padme hum.

Om mani padme hum.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Pretend to be afraid.

Pretend to sleep.

Immortal.

Sleep.

Answer yes to all my questions.

Sleep.

Sleep.

White woman,

are you truly what you pretend to be?

Yes.

Yes. Is your interest in our temples

nothing but innocent curiosity?

Yes.

LET HER ALONE.

STAND BACK.

LOOK OUT, BONNIE.

FIND THE WHITE DEVIL.

I'M NOT INJURED.

Let me resume the questioning. Perhaps

you should rest, holy one.

I prefer to use our

familiar methods on this man.

Bokar,

fire burn. Down by the river.

Be quiet.

Captain Zimmerman, light the signal

fire.

What is this signal fire of which you

speak?

Have patience, Guruji. You will soon

learn.

Captain Zimmerman.

Yeah.

Look.

It is time. Tell the men to start

unloading.

All right, boys.

Get into shore.

Hey.

Who are you? What do you want?

My buddy is in some kind of a jam with

the natives. Him and Vicky MASON AND THE

FLYER. COME ON, WE GOT TO HURRY. WHAT'S

the trouble? Where are these people?

Over there in the temple. THERE WHERE

THE WHERE THE FIRE'S BURNING. COME ON.

ALL RIGHT. Tell the men to follow us.

Bring the cases.

Head up, boy.

Come on. This way.

Oh.

STOP IT. STOP IT.

CAREFUL.

Do you still refuse to speak, Miss

Mason? ALL RIGHT, I'LL TELL YOU IF

YOU'LL LET HIM GO.

Speak then.

STICK 'EM UP, ALL OF YOU.

AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.

I BROUGHT SOME pals to help us out.

Stand up against that wall. That's

telling 'em, skipper. Make 'em like it.

I'm talking to you. Say, what is this?

Get over there, against the wall.

This fool led us here to save his

friends. They're all spies. The girl has

agreed to speak.

Put those cases over there in the

corner.

Who's the old man? He's one of us. What

connection can a white man have with a

high priest of Siva? Captain Zimmerman

has been kind enough to provide us with

certain necessary equipment. Has not

unloaded the boat. Then have your men

bring it at once.

Where is the rest of the shipment?

Our business with the captain is almost

concluded. I trust it has been

satisfactory. More than satisfactory.

And I will be going after I get my pay.

It is ready, Captain Zimmerman.

You paid him well. He has served his

purpose.

Now our day begins.

We shall not rest until we have driven

every foreigner from Asia.

The signal fires are burning.

The drums are sending out their messages

across the mountains.

At dawn the hill tribes will gather here

and arm themselves.

We will overthrow the weakling raja who

stands in our way.

The day of deliverance is at hand.

Let us waste no further time, Yau. This

one first.

Get away from here or I'll kick your

teeth in. This is too merciful.

The death of a thousand cuts

might be more suitable. We shall save

that for this infidel. Strike.

Mr. Moto, help me.

Moto?

HE'S GETTING AWAY.

THEY'VE KILLED CAPTAIN ZIMMERMAN. COME.

THIS LEADS TO A SECRET way out.

It's barred.

We'll have to hold them off. Come.

They're coming back. I hope one of you

gentlemen can operate this instrument.

Give it to me.

I wasn't in the Marines for nothing.

Here.

You are familiar with those tripod? And

here.

Hey, HOW DO YOU WORK THIS THING? JUST

PULL THE TRIGGER.

LOOK OUT, BONNIE.

THESE MUNITIONS DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY

MUCH OF A SURPRISE TO YOU, MR. MOTO. Not

to you, Miss Mason.

You know I was a secret agent from the

beginning, didn't you? Let's see, I

suspected. Your airplane crash was

admirably done, but you should have

disposed of the flares you started the

fire with. Well, we're even.

You didn't conceal the map of this

temple

Of course not. I sent you to find it.

What?

My mission was to find and destroy this

base. I presume yours is similar?

Yes, the British Intelligence Service

heard rumors of an uprising.

With Burma so close to Tongwa, they

decided to send me here on a secret

investigation. Holy smoke. He's a spy,

she's a spy. I suppose the rest of these

munitions are hidden in one of the

underground passages marked on your map.

Yes, there's a large powder magazine

directly beneath us.

Hey, BRING ANOTHER BARREL. I'M ALMOST

OUT.

PLEASE MAKE THESE LOOK COUNT. THAT'S ALL

THERE'S LEFT.

WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S CASES of

it? Yes, BUT THE WRONG CALIBER. THEY

WON'T FIT THESE GUNS. We have most of

the ammunition. Their bullets will SOON

BE GONE.

OH, NICE SHOT.

PLEASE,

CAPTAIN ZIMMERMAN.

QUICK, HERE.

LET ME SEE. HERE, tie a stringer out of

it. I can shoot with one myth.

PARDON ME, DO I SIMPLY PRESS THE

TRIGGER? YEAH, AND TRY and hit

something. You'll get the hang of it,

ALL RIGHT.

IT IS A SHAME WE HAVE SO LITTLE

AMMUNITION.

TOO BAD YOU HAVEN'T GOT SOME MORE OF OUR

FILM, MR. MOTO. You might be able to

scare them away with another firework

trick. There's some of it left.

But I can find a use for it.

Take my place.

Them Nepalese are peculiar birds.

You and your men attack the front of the

temple. THE OTHERS FOLLOW ME.

HEY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

MERELY ARRANGING AN experiment which may

help us save OUR LIVES. COME ON, BOYS.

LET THEM HAVE IT.

GET OUT OF HERE, QUICK.

RAJA'S SOLDIERS.

I TOO SAW YOUR SIGNAL FIRES, BOKO, and I

knew their meaning.

You thought I was unaware of what you

were plotting,

but I knew you had my wife killed. I

knew that Zimmerman was bringing

munitions here to you. I knew

everything.

Now you die, high priest, while Raja Ali

reaps the benefits of your labor.

With your guns, I shall restore the

ancient kingdom of Tongmoy.

Take Zimmerman's men outside and shoot

them.

Place prisoners against the wall.

You're not going to shoot us. In one

moment.

You need have no hope that any of your

messages have gone through. I am an

excellent wing shot and carrier pigeons

are my favorite target. So I discovered

your hands.

It was I who barred the door to your

secret passage. May I say it won't be

necessary to dispose of any of these

other people?

I admit spying upon you, but they are

not involved in any way. My dear, Mr.

Moto,

their mere presence here involves them.

Ready? Oh, Raja Ali, you are

magnificent. I had no idea what a clever

man I'm going to marry.

The way you've handled this situation,

the brilliance of your strategy, I'm so

proud of you.

GET OVER THERE WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

WILL YOU PLEASE TELL YOUR soldiers to

put down their guns? WHAT?

SHOOT THEM. I SHOULD NOT ADVISE such

action.

It would be very drastic if this torch

should drop into the powder magazine.

You can't trick me.

You wouldn't destroy yourself

and your friends. It would be an

excellent way of accomplishing the

purpose for which I was sent here. YOU

DON'T DARE.

OUT THE SECRET PASSAGE, QUICKLY.

You know, one thing's been bothering me.

Would you have married the Raja if we

hadn't upset everything?

What do you think? Someday you're going

to promise to marry somebody, he's going

to make it stick. Listen, Marty,

I'm quitting the newsreel business. It's

too tough. I've been talking to Mr. Moto

about being his assistant. And my next

case should prove very interesting

indeed. What is it? There's a murderer.

He has killed over about 37 people. Now

he's reported to be hiding on a small

but volcanic island as the honored guest

of a tribe of head hunters.

Shall we bring him back alive? Yes?
