Yes, they put the new bulletins right

now. See?

Well, I don't know what says it myself

neither. No, because I don't read it yet

either. You know myself. You call later.

No. Goodbye. I talk English, too, don't

you?

>> How are you? What can I do for you?

>> You have operations for Mr. Ryan and Mr.

Deser, haven't you? Oh, no. Professor

Carti arrange everything.

>> Oh, is he here already?

>> Oh, for 2 days ago. He's coming. He was

asking where was you? He told me to put

you quickly to his room when you coming.

Jose,

>> put the senors to Professor Carter's

room. Bronto,

>> was there something else in yours?

>> No, that's all.

>> Yeah, you can get me the telephone

number of the little senorita in the

blue dress. This way, Senoris.

Yes.

>> Vesser and Ryan to see Professor Carter.

>> Oh, yes. He's expecting you. Come in.

>> How are you, Professor?

>> Hello there, sir. Professor Carter, this

Mr. Lion.

>> How do you do, Mr. How do

>> I'm glad you're here. I've begun to

worry about you. You know, when you're

sick, little things upset you. Gracia,

>> what do you do?

>> Ryan came in on schedule. All right.

When I found out the Caribbean cruiser

was held up at Rio, I decided to double

check everything with Thompson.

>> That's using your head, Desa. Well,

gentlemen, what about a drink?

>> That suits me.

>> Sure, pick some up, Madden. Okay, I'll

help you.

>> So, you're Ryan, are you?

>> Yeah, I'm Ryan.

>> Thompson and Desa recommend you very

highly.

>> You don't have to worry about me. If I

did, I wouldn't have hired you.

>> There you are. What do you think of the

layout, Ryan? You can't miss. That's why

I'm here. No kidding. It's so simple.

It's a wonder someone hasn't thought of

it before.

>> Well, it may sound simple, but it took

time to work out the details. It's the

only thing that kept me from going crazy

in that Shanghai jail.

>> Well, how much is there to cut? Close to

a half a million.

It's lying there in the safe in the

Caribbean cruiser right now, just

waiting for us to take it. Oh, by the

way, Desa,

guess who's the skipper in the cruiser?

>> Oh, Hank McFarland.

>> Mcfarlan?

>> Yeah. Uh oh, he's tough. You know that?

>> I haven't forgotten.

>> What's so funny?

>> I was just wondering what my old friend

McFarland would think if he knew what

was going to happen to him and his

passenger.

His heart.

Just a moment.

Dr. Taylor at the hospital, Captain.

McFarland speaking. How's Jackson doing?

Oh, how long do you think you'll be laid

up? No, no, we're still waiting on the

weather. Oh, that's fine.

>> How is he?

>> He's doing all right.

>> Some people all are lucky. And what's

lucky about an operation?

>> Oh, but look at all the fun he's going

to have recuperating in a place like

this.

>> There's only one difference between you

and Jackson. His case isn't hopeless.

>> What is it?

>> Where'd you pick up a new person at

Puerto? Nova.

>> Tommy Bronson. Never heard of him. More

grief, I suppose.

>> What do you mean?

>> Stalled by rough weather, pers in the

hospital, and now I have to take on a

new man. What next?

>> Bronson's okay. I met him a year ago in

Miami. You like him?

>> Why?

>> Well, well, he he's a good man. Smart,

gets along well with people. He's a

hound for work and keeps his mind on his

business all the time. [laughter]

>> No, no, no, no, no. Not Senor Bronson.

Now, let's get this straight. In

Americano Delorte, I call you Chaita. I

call you Maria. And you call me Tony.

Sammy.

>> Tony.

>> Tony. That's right. That's the idea.

Tony.

>> Yeah. Well, [laughter]

women.

>> Darn it.

>> Excuse me.

>> May I help you?

>> No thanks. You seem to have your hands

full over there.

>> Yes, but that uh a little help wouldn't

go a miss, would it? Miss, if you don't

mind.

>> Thanks. You're welcome.

Jose,

>> go to work. Will you see?

[laughter]

>> Well, now where were we?

>> Senior Brownson.

>> Oh, that's me.

>> Pardon me again.

>> Come in. Coming. Jose.

>> Okay, Jose. Those two over there. Give

him number three this time. Huh? See

>> this one?

>> That's right. And translated form. Huh?

See?

No.

Oh,

>> are you liking our shops? No.

>> Oh, they're wonderful. The bad for my

pocketbook. I start buying souvenirs and

antiques. I never know when to stop.

>> It is lucky for portable. If only they

get guestly sandwich. Don't you?

>> I guess so. When will the next bulletin

be in?

>> They're posted every 4 hours.

>> Thank you.

Give me

this all the time.

>> Well, here's one antique I think you

better put on ice.

Look out.

>> Who's your friend?

>> I don't know who he was. I woke up and

found him going through my room. Well,

that's a lot of nerve in broad daylight.

Did he get what he was after?

>> He sure did. He got my bank roll. I won

quite a lot of money last night. I

probably showed it around.

>> Where were you?

>> Oh, I was in several places. I ended up

in Sullivan's American Bar.

Pretty tight, too.

>> The same old story. Did you get a look

at him? You know who he was? No,

>> I didn't have time. The whole thing

happened too quick.

>> Oh, maybe you better call the police.

Oh, excuse me. I'm Tony Bronson, the

TCA. Maybe I can help you. Well, that's

an idea. Oh, say, uh,

you're the new person on the Caribbean

cruiser, aren't you?

>> Yeah, but how did you know? I only found

out myself yesterday.

>> Well, I get paid for being curious and

finding out things. I'm Jim Holly of the

New York Dispatch.

>> Not the famous Jim Holly.

>> Skip it. I'm just a reporter covering a

lot of territory. Say, uh, by the way,

uh, have you any idea when we're going

to get out of here?

>> No, nothing definite.

>> Well, if that plane doesn't hurry up,

I'm going to lose a swell job.

>> How's that? I'm due to leave New York

for the Orient in 4 days. And if I'm not

there, somebody else takes my place. I

sure hate to miss out, brother.

>> You almost missed out when that knife

came through the window. I bet you'll be

there.

>> I hope you're right.

>> Handy little gadget. Police will want to

see this. Don't touch the handle.

Fingerprints and all that sort of stuff,

you know.

>> Yeah. I'll get on with you if you like.

>> Okay. Thanks. Mind if I take a shortcut?

I'll be right back. I'll live right next

door here.

>> Go right ahead.

Oh, Bronson.

>> Yeah.

>> Maybe you'd better leave it open. Looks

like I need protection.

>> Say, by the way, uh, are you doing

anything tonight?

>> No. What?

>> I'm taking two American girls to dinner.

Suppose we make it a forceome.

>> None of that blind date stuff for me. I

like to pick them myself.

>> Don't worry. I can pick them, too.

>> Mhm. I've heard that story before.

What time? And where?

>> 7:30 downstairs.

>> Okay.

See that fish smells good.

>> Yeah.

Let's hope that clerk downstairs doesn't

get a whiff of it. Another one of those

uh no savvias regulation senor routines

again. Never mind, kid. It won't be long

until we're back in the good old USA.

Yeah. Well, you can get a plate of ham

and eggs without having to draw a

picture of tablecloth. Can't come too

soon for me. You think Miller will send

us our fair? Well, sure. He wouldn't

wire us to come home if Ferris didn't

want our act, would he? It's two days

since we wired him for tickets. This is

not It was only yesterday. Day before

yesterday.

>> Here's his cable. See the date? We

answered him 10 minutes later. You think

he's sore because we sent it collect?

>> Oh, no. Not good old Miller.

What sweet, sweet words. Here. Now, you

put this in a nice safe place cuz I'm

going to frame that when I get home.

Well, let's tear this herring apart.

It'll tide us over to dinner when we eat

on Mr. Hollyy. And how we'll eat. I

don't think I'll impose on Hollyy. Isn't

it wonderful what a difference a cable

gram can make?

>> Listen, sweetheart. You're going to be

Jim Hy's guest tonight, even if Miller

sends us enough money to buy a plane.

>> No, I'm not. That's gold digging. gold

digging. She says, "I beg your pardon,

but this is ethical." Now look, I knew

Jim Holly in New York and I meet him

here and he asked me to dinner and you

too. Do you coal digging? If I call it

promotion, will it make you feel any

better?

>> And what's wrong with negotiating a good

dinner with a nice man? We enjoy

ourselves and he enjoys himself. We

entertain him and he pays. Everybody's

happy.

>> There's nothing wrong with it, I guess.

I just don't see things the way you do.

I guess you don't. Well, come on. Let's

see.

Holy smokes.

Just a minute. Get the wash. Get the

wash.

Squeak. Get the squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

Squeak.

Be right there. Senor

around here. Here.

Oh, it's you.

>> Cable ground.

>> Oh, and get me my purse, will you?

[snorts]

>> Oh, it it won't hurt you. It's medicine

for

>> my asthma

transportation.

Gracias.

>> Graciasita.

>> How do you like that? It's my best

perfume, too.

Oh, what have you got? A first class

ticket.

>> Oh,

well, that's that.

>> Yeah. Now, what do we do?

Well, I don't know. I got to get back to

New York where we can earn a living.

>> It's a long swim.

>> How about Hoy?

Way ahead of you there.

>> Well, here's where little Peggy really

goes to work. Negotiating?

>> No, digging. Just plain digging. You got

an extra shovel? Maybe I could help.

My My, what a big difference a little

cable gram can make. [laughter]

You have two girls, I presume.

>> I did an hour ago. I knew Peggy would be

late, but I didn't think she'd keep us

waiting this long.

>> Hold the fort, will you, Holly? I'll be

right back.

>> Where you going?

>> Never mind.

>> As soon as we take over the flight deck,

they can't do a thing. Now, do you think

you know what the inside of a plane

looks like?

>> Yeah.

>> All right, that's enough for now. We'll

go over this thing again tomorrow.

>> It's not so simple after all, is it?

>> Why, it's a cinch. You two handle a

ship. Me and Vess are handle the

passengers. We take the do's cra. The

only thing we need is a little luck.

>> Listen, Ryan, any man that's been flying

as long as I have knows you can't depend

on luck alone.

>> Sure, but a little never hurts. This

perfect crime stuff is the bunk. They

always end up with holes in them big

enough to drive a truck through.

>> Yeah.

Where's the hole in this one? I don't

know yet, but one generally shows up,

and that's where luck comes in.

>> We're still going to do it my way.

>> Well, now that that's settled, how about

some blackjack?

>> That suits me.

>> Why don't I take a walk?

>> Wait a minute, Ryan.

>> Now, what is it?

>> Don't leave the hotel.

>> What is this? All I want to do

>> I said don't leave the hotel.

>> Okay, I still think I'm right.

Aha,

there's our meal ticket right over

there.

>> Hi, Hoy.

>> Well, say it. Stop.

>> Don't say it, Cookie. And this is Jim

Holly. How do you do, Mr. Hollyy? I've

enjoyed your articles on South America.

>> Oh, thank you. I didn't think anyone

read them.

>> What's this? A cozy little three?

>> No, no, just a minute. I've got a very

nice boy I want you to meet. He'll be

here in just a minute.

We'll try this one this time.

>> Are you sure you understand?

>> This will be the signal.

>> There she is. Now, don't let me down.

>> Okay. Well, I figured that any fellow

that was brave enough to tackle another

man with a knife would certainly be game

enough to meet you two.

>> What a pal. He puts me behind the

eightball before he introduces me.

>> Well,

uh, yes. What?

No bundles.

>> How do you do?

>> Hello.

>> Well, let's sit down and have a little

bite.

>> Thanks for introducing me, Hollyy. Peggy

Morton's the name.

>> Hi, Peggy.

>> Hi.

>> All right, Peggy. Right over here.

>> Certainly kept the party waiting.

>> Well, am I still behind the eightball?

>> That depends on a number of things, Mr.

Bronson.

>> What? For instance.

>> Well, let's not go into that now.

>> All right.

Uh, will you excuse me for just a

moment? I'll be right back.

>> Something wrong, Señor.

>> Give me, give me, give me.

>> You're fired, my boy. Thank you very

much.

>> If I hadn't had a $20 bill in another

pants pocket, you kids would be buying

my dinner tonight. [laughter]

>> It's a great kid.

Well, where were we?

>> I was just telling the girls it was

lucky I paid for my ticket last week or

you'd be shy a passenger.

>> Passenger?

>> Yeah. Bronson's with the TCA.

>> Is that so?

>> Yes. I've been with the line ever since

I left college. I just been assigned to

the Caribbean cruiser.

>> Pilot?

>> No, I'm the purser.

>> Uh, did you say purser?

>> Uh-huh.

>> Well, um, then you have charge of

tickets and reservations, don't you?

>> Yes. I'm responsible for all the

passengers from the time they check on

the plane until we land.

Isn't that interesting?

>> Is it?

>> Oh, yes, it is.

>> Oh,

>> he has charge of the tickets. I heard

him the first time.

>> What's that?

>> Singing.

>> Oh, happy. Um.

>> Uh. Oh. Ann, have you got your compact

with you?

>> Well, yes, I think so.

>> You know the one Miller sent you?

Remember? Oh, I I I forgot it.

>> Well, it's on the bureau. I put it

there. You'll remember.

>> I'll be right back.

>> She's really very clever. She writes all

the material for our act, such as this.

>> Hey, Peggy's quite a press agent for

you. She's been telling us all about

>> Oh, wait a minute. I suppose she's been

telling you what a great rider I am and

what a ham she is. Or was it the other

way around?

>> Something like that.

>> She tell you about our offer.

>> Not a word.

>> Oh, she wouldn't. Looks as if we're

finally going to get a break. You know,

it's funny when you're tramping Broadway

day after day looking for a job. They

can't see you. But now that you're 3,000

miles away, they think you're good and

send for you.

>> Be a strange business.

>> No kidding.

Look, we just got this this

Well, this is great. Does this mean

you're going to be my passenger?

>> We don't have our reserv.

>> Well, there's no time like the present.

What are we waiting for?

>> We wire for transportation, but it

hasn't arrived yet.

>> Well, you let me know as soon as you

can. I'll be glad to take care of it for

you.

>> Thanks. That's awfully kind of you.

>> Shall we let Mr. Bronson take care of

our tickets?

>> Oh, as far as I'm concerned, he's

practically elected.

>> Come on, kids. Close the ticket window.

Let's eat. All right, boy. I'm hungry.

>> Hey, wait a minute. How much farther is

it?

>> Oh, come on, Peggy. Be a sport.

>> Uh-uh. It's the end of the line for me.

>> Just a little further on. There's a

wonderful view of the ocean in the

moonlight.

>> I'll take my moon setting right here if

I had my feet hurt. Come on, Tony. You

still have one customer.

>> Well, we won't be long. We'll meet you

right back here.

>> I'll be waiting for you. Come on, Peggy.

Sit down for a few minutes.

>> Careful.

You know, sometimes you have pretty good

ideas, Peggy.

>> Yeah, they're pretty good most of the

time. The problem is to make them work.

>> That's always after you have an idea,

you've got to sell it. And sometimes the

selling isn't easy.

>> Well, I'm surprised to hear you say

that.

>> Why? I've got an idea right now, but I'm

not sure I can sell it.

>> Could I help?

>> I don't know anyone better.

>> Okay, let's have it. Well, uh, I have a

friend who's been all over the world and

met all kinds of people. And it wasn't

until last year he met a girl in New

York he felt he could really go for. He

would have told the girl just how he

felt about her. Only she was earning

more than he was. Well, since then,

things have changed. And now this fella

really got himself a swell job

>> with the New York Dispatch. His name is

Jim Hollyy, but Peggy says no.

>> Well, I thought it was a good idea.

>> Oh, it was a lovely idea, Jim, but it

won't work.

You mustn't let a little tropical

moonlight spoil a good friendship.

Let's just keep it give and take, huh?

>> Yeah,

I give and you.

>> That's it, brother.

>> There. Isn't that worth the climb?

>> Oh, it's beautiful.

I'm glad we came.

>> So am I. Every time I come up here, it

gives me a thrill.

>> I suppose you always come alone.

>> No, not always.

>> At least you're honest.

>> Is that unusual?

>> Yes.

>> Surprising.

>> Surprising?

>> Yes.

How did you get away from those two

charming young ladies in the patio?

>> All that. Well, uh, that's a long story,

but let's not talk about me. Tell me

something about you.

>> What would you like to know?

>> Everything.

>> It's a large order.

>> Well, for a starter, uh, going to be

down here.

>> Oh, things were pretty tough in New

York, so we took 12 weeks booking down

here. Opened for two weeks in Rio, and

then we've been playing a week here and

there up to the coast. Now, it looks as

if we're going to get a chance to get

back on Broadway.

>> That's great. It's a good break for you,

huh? Mhm. And your new job's a break for

you, isn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> There you have it. Double feature

success story.

>> Let's get Hollyy to write it up, huh?

>> You know, Anne, yesterday I couldn't

wait for that plane to arrive. Today, I

don't care if it ever comes.

>> That's a fine statement for a budding

young executive to make.

>> I mean it. I'm serious. This is

marvelous.

>> Is it Tony?

>> Yes.

You know, Ann, life is funny. You kick

about things not happening the way you

think they should, like this plane being

late, and all of a sudden you realize

it's the most important thing that could

have happened to you.

>> What was

>> you?

Wait a minute. I'm trying to tell you

something.

I guess there's only one way to tell

you.

>> Ha. Everything all set?

>> Hey, what matter? We can't take that

plane. Peggy,

>> don't tell me Tony turned you down.

>> No, but I can't go through with it. I

just can't. I I like him a lot and I'm

not going to cheat him.

>> Take it easy. We aren't cheating him.

We're going to pay him back.

>> No matter what you say, it's wrong.

>> Don't tell me you broke down and gave

the whole thing away.

>> No. Still thinks the radiogram's okay.

And he knows we need money for

reservations.

>> But you didn't ask him to trust us for

the tickets, did you?

>> No. And I'm not going to. And if you try

to, I'll tell him the truth.

Okay,

I'll get it.

>> Hello there.

>> For Senorita Howard, compliments of

Senor Branson.

>> Senor Branson.

>> See?

>> Thanks. Gracias, good night. K.

>> Yeah.

Gosh.

Girl, the way I thought you were

talking, I thought it was all off.

>> The way I feel it is.

>> Wow.

Wow. Tickets.

You didn't ask for him and he gave them

to you anyway.

>> Baby, it's time I was taking lessons

from you.

>> And it's encouraging to note the effect

of the American good neighbor policy in

such a small town as put you over.

That's all for today. I'll cover the

cotton angle tomorrow. Come in.

What's that? Oh, just a minute.

The news of the plane.

>> Not a word.

>> Don't know. Still waiting for it. Oh, by

the way, here's a little item for the

drama editor. Anne Howard and Peggy

Morton, young American comedians who

have recently completed a successful

engagement in Buonazeries, have just

been signed by Ned Ferris for his new

review. And I'm returning to New York on

a Caribbean cruiser. Sure, they're here.

I had dinner with him last night. I saw

the radiogram myself.

When did that happen? Uh-oh.

Okay. I hope when I call you tomorrow,

it'll be from the plane.

Those little gold diggers.

>> Gold diggers?

>> Yeah. Ann and Peggy.

>> I don't follow you. Who are you talking

to?

>> The New York office. The rewrite man

just told me that Ned Ferris died 4 days

ago and that the show closed.

>> Oh, that's too bad.

>> What's a joke?

>> Joke? That means the radiogram the girl

showed us last night was a fake.

>> A fake? But why would they show us it?

>> Now, just a minute. They showed us that

message last night at dinner, didn't

they? Remember them telling us they

received it that same afternoon and that

they were waiting for a check?

>> That's right.

>> Well, what more do you want?

Peggy's up to her old tricks. It's a

good thing she knew I didn't have any

cash or she'd have had it by now.

>> Oh, so that's it.

Well, it looks like I've been the number

one sap this time.

>> Now look, aunt, if we just take this

>> Peggy, why go all over this again? I've

told you the way I feel. I'm going to

tell Tony the truth. Oh, why not be

sensible? You're letting this get you

down. Once we get to New York, we'll get

a job, pay Tony back, and everything

will be lovely.

>> You call that being sensible?

>> I sure do.

>> Well, I don't. If I had any sense, I

wouldn't have started it in the first

place.

>> A fine thing. We've got a smart plan,

and it works. But you had to spoil it by

falling in love.

>> I'm sorry, Peggy. Oh,

>> hello, Mr. Bronson, please.

Well, do you know where he went?

All right. Thanks.

Hey, where you going? Sullivan's

American Bar. And you can't go there by

yourself, can't I? You watch me.

Well, of all the stubborn little

Hello. Uh oh. Uh well, oh, get me Jim

Hoy, please.

Hello.

>> Hello, Jim. Jim, this is Peggy. Yeah,

Anna and I have had an argument. She's

gone down to Sullivan's to meet Tony. I

want you to take me there.

>> Okay, Peggy.

>> Yeah, I'll meet you downstairs in 5

minutes.

>> Well, Peggy, something backfire.

>> Huh?

What do you think?

You looking for somebody, lady?

>> Yes. Have you seen Tony Bronson?

>> I don't know him. Take a seat. I'll see

if he's around here.

>> Thank you.

>> If anybody gets fresh with you, just

holler for Butch. That's me.

>> Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

>> Is it?

>> Yeah. You know, ever since I first saw

you around the hotel, I I wanted to say

hello.

>> So, I've noticed.

>> That calls for a drink. What do you

have?

>> Nothing. I'm waiting for someone. Fine.

If it's your girlfriend, we'll make a

party of it.

>> I'm not the guy. Just please have a

drink with me.

>> No thanks. Really?

>> What's the matter? Aren't you

>> You're a pretty fast worker, aren't you?

What are you trying to get out of him?

>> Well, Tony, what do you mean?

>> I'll tell you what I mean. Come on. I

want to talk to you.

>> Hey, what's the idea?

>> You stay out of this, will you?

>> Wait a minute. Now, look, mister. I want

to talk to this lady and alone.

>> Maybe she doesn't want to listen to you.

>> You'll listen to me whether she likes it

or not. Nobody's going to stop me. No.

No.

>> Hey, wait a minute. What's going on

here?

>> Oh, it's all right. Just a personal

argument, that's all. I'm going.

>> That's a good idea,

>> Tony. Let's get out of here.

>> You're not going anywhere. I want to

talk to you. Come on. Sit down.

>> Tony, I just came here to tell you

>> you've done your talking. And what a

line.

>> Please

>> shut up. Come on. Outside.

>> All right. All right. Did you use 20

bucks? Well, who couldn't? Well, look.

Well, that guy gets some. I want you to

>> You couldn't be on the level if you

wanted to. You fake a radiogram, feed me

a pack of lies, and make a sap out of

me. You're a better actress than I

thought you were.

>> Won't you give me a chance to tell?

>> You missed your chance. You'd have told

me the truth. I've been glad to help

you.

>> Won't you let me explain?

>> You don't need to explain. I know all

the answers. You pulled a fast one on

me. You were getting away with it, too,

until Hollyy accidentally spilled the

beans. You're nothing but a cheap little

gold digger.

>> Are you quite sure you're all through?

>> And how?

>> Okay, Santa Claus. Then thanks for the

tickets.

Say, what's the idea? Starting more

trouble?

>> What do you mean? I'm not starting any

trouble.

>> Oh, the best place for you is outside.

Come take your hands off of me, will

you? What's the

>> fresh? Huh?

>> WAIT.

COME ON.

HEY, WHAT IS THE TROUBLE?

Come on. This man started two fights in

one night here.

>> What are you talking about? I didn't

start any fight

>> for disturbing the peace and assaulting

an officer. Come on.

>> Wait a minute. You got the wrong idea.

>> Wait a minute. Don't say a word, Tony.

>> What do you mean don't say a word? This

guy deliberately bumps into me, starts

an argument, takes a poke at me. What is

this? Don't say a word.

>> You ping at me again. I'll take another

poke. You might

wait a minute.

What is it?

>> Hey, what was that all about?

>> I don't know.

>> It looks like Tony was framed if you ask

me. Now, listen. I'm going to the police

station. I'm quite sure I can fix it up.

You two kids go on back to the hotel and

wait for me. It'll only be a few

minutes. Everything is going to be okay.

Leave it to me.

>> You give him back the tickets.

>> No. Here, you keep them just in case I

weaken. Now, I can relax. And don't you

worry, Jim Holly will fix it all up

fine. And when Tony cools off, you can

explain everything to him.

>> Jim certainly fixed it. All right.

>> I can't understand it.

>> Let's see if there's another bulletin.

>> Well,

first we had men and no tickets. Now we

have tickets and no men.

>> You know, Anne, I think we're going to

New York without a purser.

>> It's perfectly all right with me.

>> You see, sir, I

>> no use discussing this any further. You

know the rules of the company as well as

I do. If there had been another person

available, you'd still be in jail. Don't

try to thank me. That's all.

>> I I sir.

Okay, Dick. Thanks. I'll take over.

How'd you make out? I didn't

>> got the tickets, Peggy.

>> Yeah, I got them. But I hope they're

good.

>> What do you mean?

>> Well, he's the purser, remember? For all

we know, he might have canceled them.

>> Well, there's only one way to find out.

Come on.

>> Well, how about it? Let's go. Take it

easy, Ryan. There's still 6 minutes

before takeoff time,

>> but there's going to be a 100yard dash.

>> Listen, you I have got this time to hit

the float 2 minutes before takeoff.

>> That still gives us only four more

minutes and we've got to get down there.

>> All right, let's go.

>> Get the blanket, Eden.

>> Right with you.

>> Wait a minute.

All right, there you are.

Panagers, look, Madden.

>> Okay to me. If McFarl himself is on the

float, he'll never know you. Okay, let's

go.

>> Gee, I looked all over for you. Where

were you?

>> In the lion's den

>> and

>> goodbye, Bronson of Miami.

>> Cheer up. I got a lot of strings I can

pull there.

>> I know. Like the strings you pulled

here, huh?

>> No. Anyway, I don't think McFarland can

make that stick.

>> You don't know McFarland.

>> And you don't know Hollyy.

>> Oh, no.

Uhoh.

Count up to 10, pal.

>> Tickets, please.

>> Oh, yes, we have them. It's compartment

E.

>> I must see your tickets, please.

Miss Borton.

>> That's me.

>> Miss Howard.

Miss Howard.

>> That's her.

>> Rodriguez.

>> Yes.

>> Compartment E.

Well, look who's here. I am. I was

afraid you weren't going to make it.

>> Sister, you took the words right out of

my mouth.

>> Tickets, please.

Thank you,

>> Mr. Desert.

>> That's me.

>> Mr. Carter.

>> Yes,

>> Mr. Madden.

>> Uhhuh.

>> Mr. Ryan.

>> Yeah, Mr. Ryan.

Stand by to cast off.

>> Get ready for take.

27.

>> Is this Bourbon?

>> Yes, sir. Matter.

>> Well, don't let your personal matters

interfere with our plans. Don't worry,

I'll take care of them in my spare time.

See 2 at 6. My passengers.

Oh, Ann, stop moping. You're in love

with them. Why don't you go find him out

and get it off your chest?

Could have canceled those tickles, you

know, but he didn't.

See, I wish I was sitting as pretty as

you are. Here's a little Peggy just

crazy over a guy named Jim Hall, and I

don't dare let him know it.

>> Well, I know.

>> Why? Because he'd ask me to marry him

again. I know it wouldn't work. Oh,

well, look at his job. Here today, China

tomorrow, Egypt the day after. First

thing you know, you're married to a

string of telegram. Sorry, dear, but I'm

leaving to the North Pole. Please send

my winter underwear. See you next

summer. Kind of a life is that for a gal

who wants a home and a little garden and

chicken.

Come in.

>> Well, got to hand it to you two kids.

You sink. Put it over. A dirty trick to

play on a nice fellow like Tony.

>> Oh, if I hear any more about that, I'll

scream. Uh uh uh. Watch your blood

pressure, you deary. Buy me a drink,

will you? Hy.

>> Yes. Come on.

Let's celebrate, Peggy.

>> Celebrate what?

>> My new job and the fact that I'm going

to get back in time to take it. Didn't I

tell you about it?

>> No. Where are you going now?

>> Gee, Peggy, I've been angling for that

for 3 years.

>> Well, uh, how long are you going to be

gone, Jim?

>> Oh, I don't know. Maybe a year, maybe

two. It all depends on what I run into.

>> Isn't that great?

>> Yeah, that's great.

>> You know, Peggy, it's sure funny how

things change.

>> What do you mean?

>> Well, the last time we were celebrating

Tony's new job, and I wasn't sure about

mine. Now I'm all set, and Tony isn't.

But, uh, that's life, isn't it?

>> Yeah, that's life.

>> Stewart. Stewart.

Service is not so good.

Rodson speaking.

>> Okay, Steven. I'll report it at once.

>> Oh, Tony, send a story in here, will

you?

>> Yeah. All right.

>> Hold it. What's the idea? Shine up.

>> Where's the Stewart

app? In the deluxe compartment. How many

passengers on the line?

four. All right. Now, listen.

We're going to send these people to

their compartments, and you're going to

lock them in.

Remember, I'm right behind you. And I

don't like you anyway.

Okay.

>> Okay. Let's go.

Well,

Take it easy. All right, let's go.

>> Hello, Anne. Feeling any better?

>> Yeah.

>> Sit down.

>> Now, just take it easy. No one will get

hurt.

>> All right, get over with it. Get over by

the person, sir. Not you two, just him.

>> What? I You You What? Do you know what

they do to people like you?

>> I know what I'll do to you if you don't

stop yapping.

>> Cut that out.

You're all going to your compartment.

Let it lay.

All right. Bring it up. Bring it up.

>> Why you hold it, Ryan? You made one

mistake. Don't be a fool and make

another. Besides, we need him.

>> All right. Now, just relax.

I'm taking over the ship for a while.

Come here.

Hope that's safe. Do whatever these

thugs tell you to. We'll catch up with

them later.

>> You heard him, Per. Open the safe. But

chief,

>> that's an order from

>> I helped put you in jail once, Carter.

>> You'll go to the death house for this

one.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, listen, McFarland. It wasn't my

plan to kill anyone. A navigator had

used their heads, they'd still be alive.

>> Safe's open.

Who's got the key to this?

That's fine.

I've got another job for you, Per. Keep

the passengers quiet. We're going to

land soon. After that, they're free to

come and go as they please, as long as

they keep away from the flight decks.

Understand? Turn them over to ride.

>> Come on, Yel. Oh, by the way, you can

feed them if you like. If they don't

like our service, tell them to complain

to the line.

Get going.

All right, McFarland. On your feet. Put

these men in the anchor room. All right,

get going. All right. All right.

Take him down below, man. Right. All

right. Move along.

We don't need him anymore. So if he gets

tough.

All right. Into your compartments.

Everybody

give me your keys.

All right.

Go down in the anchor room and help Matt

tie them up.

>> Sure. Sure. When do we land?

We should get there about 2:00.

Here's where we changed our course to do

east. Here's where we are now. These

here are the shores. That'll be it. As

soon as we land, go for down and break

out one of those light anchors. You need

about 100 th00as of light.

I'll take her down.

Man's Caribbean cruiser disappears.

What a headline that will make.

Sure

did a good job of trying. How you

coming, Stevens? Not so good.

>> How long do you think we've been down

here, Captain?

>> About a half an hour, right? Say,

>> well, we we set down at 2. They're

expecting their plane here at 3. That

means we've still got 30 minutes.

>> That's right.

>> I think Carter was trying to scare you

when he said he'd set the ship on fire

before he left.

>> No, you're wrong, Stevens. I know

Carter. He'll do what he says. That's

his getaway.

I wonder what they've done with Bronson

and the passengers.

>> Well, nothing like a spot of tea for the

nerves. Hey, buddy.

>> Hey, where are you going?

>> None of your business.

Looks like our only chance to get a gun

is from Ryan.

>> Well, do you think we can rush him?

>> No. We've got to trick him some way.

>> Well, maybe I could make a play for him

and get his gun.

>> You might get tickets that way, but not

guns. This is a man's job.

>> You didn't get very far when you tried

it.

>> Now, look, Bron, I've got an idea.

Suppose I go back into my compartment.

>> Two oounce, sir. And uh not too strong.

>> Yes, ma'am. Not for you.

>> None for me, thanks. Make mine pretty

strong.

>> Right.

>> None for me.

>> Parser, can't you get that awful man to

put that gun away? If he points it at me

again, I'll scream.

>> Well, I'm sorry, madam, but if you'll

just go to your compartment. We're doing

the best we can. Well,

>> please do something about it.

>> Yes, ma'am.

Come on, Bronson. Let's go in my cabin.

We can figure it out in there. Too many

interruptions here. Come on, Peggy.

This is the galley door.

Here are the steps that lead to the

flight deck. This is the spot where he's

been standing. Right in back of him is a

door.

Hello.

>> Hello.

>> I

I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry

for what happened at the bar at Port

Novo.

>> Oh, that's all right, honey. Forget it.

Bad start never bothers me.

Won't you sit down?

>> Thanks.

>> Boy, this is the first chance I've had

to relax since we took off.

>> What about me?

>> Yeah, it's been kind of tough on you,

hasn't it, kid? Well, don't you worry.

You've got one friend. I'll take care of

you.

>> But Mr. Mr.

>> Ryan's the name.

>> Mr. Ryan, I don't understand it. What's

going on on this ship?

>> Ah, don't you worry your pretty little

head about that. Nothing's going to

happen to you.

>> You know something, baby? When this is

over, I'm going to have a barrel of

dough, and I'll need somebody to help me

spend it.

What do you say? Shall we make up for

the time we lost in Portova?

>> Sounds all right to me.

Now, who's going to take care of who?

>> Give me that gun.

>> You stay where you are.

>> Give me that gun.

[screaming]

>> Hi, Van.

>> Locked us in.

>> Get that door open.

>> Anybody got a knife?

>> Yes.

Next time you try to shoot somebody, I'd

advise you to take off the safety.

>> You've really got what it takes. You

little double crosser.

>> Quiet. Quiet.

>> Take it easy now. Take a good look down

the hall before you go out. Die. Die.

Tony.

>> Well, I got his gun for you, didn't I?

>> You crazy little fool trying a thing

like this. You're just lucky that it

worked out all right. And And

>> And what? Tony,

>> nothing. I heard that shot on the flight

deck. It'll all be down here. You people

get to the back of the ship. Go down and

see what's happened. Right.

I don't know, but they must have got his

gun.

>> Get down.

>> I thought you might need some more

ammunition.

>> We'll be all right as long as they can't

appear.

>> Yeah, but we got to get that gun.

>> We will. You stay here. Come on,

>> Tony. I want to tell you something.

>> This is no time to talk.

>> Well, you can listen, can't you? I can't

help myself.

>> Well, you're going to listen to Honey

Bronson whether you like it or not.

>> Gee, it's awful quiet.

>> Maybe Tony got him.

>> Maybe they're all dead.

>> He got me in the hand. Watch those

stairs.

>> What's that?

>> Oh, it's over there.

Yes.

>> Where's Brunson?

We'll put him on the line quick.

>> Okay. Napoleon.

He wants Tony on the phone.

>> Huh?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Go get him. Go get him.

>> And I only came down there, Tony, to

tell you the truth. So, you see, if

you'd only listened to me, everything

might have been different.

Sorry,

>> captain and the crew.

>> But you can't do a thing.

>> What is it? Yes or no?

>> The others have as much to say about

that gun as I have. Give me 5 minutes to

persuade them.

>> All right, but that's the deadline.

>> Tony, what's it all about?

>> If we don't hand over that gun in 5

minutes, they're going to kill the

skipper and the crew.

>> Oh dear. Nice boys. What are you going

to do?

I'm going to gamble with that 5 minutes.

Get hoy, will you? Here.

>> You think they'll give up the gun?

>> Sure they What else can they do? Relax.

Relax.

>> What are you going to do?

>> I'm going to take a long chance. Now

look, if I'm not back by

10 minutes or three, ring that phone and

give up the gun. Crouch, put out the

lights, will you?

>> Tell me.

>> Don't worry.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Turn on the lights.

And he's going to get fired if we ever

get to Miami.

I'll get out of these robes if I have to

cut off a rest.

>> Shut up, William. Shut up. What's that?

It's Bronson. Bronson.

>> Yes, he's outside. Got to open that

door.

>> See if you can make it, Anderson.

Nice calling, Bronson.

>> Well, there's no use waiting any longer.

Get it over with.

Wait a minute.

Yes.

>> Okay,

we quit.

Go down and get the gun.

>> Listen, Bronson, there's a plane coming

to pick up these murderers.

>> I know. I know.

>> And Carter's going to set the ship on

fire before they leave.

>> What?

>> Yeah.

>> Untie the others, Williams. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. But what happened to Ryan?

>> He's dead. And that purse is missing.

>> Never mind the person now. I've just had

a call from the plane. Come on back.

She'll be here any minute.

>> Okay.

Come on.

Come on in. Snap out of it.

>> Everything's under control. Hey, Carter,

>> hold it. Put those guns on the table.

I'll take over.

You and Anderson take these fellas down

and tie them up. Stevens, get on that

radio. Contact Miami and let them let me

talk to them. Yes, sir.

>> Williams, you take care of the

passengers. All right. Now, come on.

Snap into it.

>> Williams, get my clothes. We'll get

there in the lounge.

>> Okay, Tony.

>> Come on. Get there.

>> Come on.

Good

>> job at tying up. We'll see what we do.

>> Caribbean cruiser calling Miami. Come in

Miami. If

>> something doesn't happen soon, I'm going

up there myself.

>> It's one of the officers.

Where's Tony?

>> On the flight deck.

>> Is he all right?

>> Yeah, he'll be down later.

>> Now, we're taking off in just a few

minutes and we'll only be about 4 hours

late getting into Miami.

>> Patty, how soon can I get a radiogram

off to my paper?

>> Well, I'm sorry, sir, but under the

circumstances, we're not sending any no

messages. The newspapers will get the

story as soon as we land.

>> But listen, my job depends on it.

Captain, has anybody seen Mr. Bronson's?

>> Yeah. Yeah, they're right over there.

>> Oh, thank you.

>> Tough break, Jim. Looks like you're not

going to make that a job in the Orient,

huh?

>> Yeah, looks like it.

>> I'm sorry.

Thanks, Peggy. But you got me wrong. I

was just thinking how glad I am that I

can't get back in time to take it.

>> What?

>> Yeah. You know, for the last 5 years,

I've been trying to make up my mind to

quit batting around the world and settle

down to something I really want to do.

And it took something like this to make

me do it.

>> I'm quitting the newspaper racket. I've

got a hobby I'm going to turn into a

business. You know what it is?

>> No. What?

>> Raising tulips.

>> Raising tulips. Well, go on and laugh if

you want to, but there's money in it,

especially now with the war on.

>> Well, you uh you raise tulips in the

country, don't you?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> On a farm?

>> Well, they don't grow on Broadway.

>> What farm?

You can count me in, Jim.

>> Fine. Now, as soon as I get back to

Huh?

O'Bronson.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Tell the passengers to get ready for a

takeoff. All right, sir. Uh,

>> just a minute.

>> I uh I hope you'll be with me a long

time, Tony.

>> Thank you, sir.

Tony

Percer.

Oh, pardon me. I I was just going up to

congratulate the captain.

>> Well, he's uh really quite busy now,

Mrs. Pentingill. I

>> Oh, all right. Excuse me.

You think he'd be down later?

>> I really don't know, Mrs. Pentingill.

Why don't you just sit right down here?

That way you can't possibly miss it.

>> I will.

>> Yeah.

Wait till we get to Miami.

Tulips and chickens. Boy, that's the

life.

>> Uh maybe at first you could write a few

articles now and then.

>> Oh no, I'm going to be too busy for

that. Oh, maybe, you know, after we get

on a paying basis, I may write a book or

so. It all depends. Uh Jim, not that it

matters, but um costs you to see who

proposes to who.

>> You lose.
