Good evening.

I thought you might
be interested,

in seeing one of the world’s
first television tubes.

In those days, everything
was in glorious color.

Repairs were unheard of,
and the tube never wore out.

But, of course, we’ve managed
to improve those details.

A few of you may consider
staring at this

a rather limited form
of entertainment.

But, our ancestors found
this bottle quite exciting.

But of course,
they were the ones
who had emptied it.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
our play.

[ship’s horn blowing]

[photographer] Excuse me,
Sir Richard Musgrave,
isn’t it?

Chairman of Consolidated Trusts?

Yes, this is my wife
and daughter.

Oh, it’s not your first trip
to South Africa, is it,
Sir Richard?

No, not the first,
but the first in 20 years.

Oh, I expect you’ll find
lots of changes then.

Are you going, too,
Lady Musgrave?

No, this is a business trip.

My father’s very old fashioned.

-A woman’s place is in the home.
-Really, Elizabeth.

[photographer] Now, let’s have
some more smiles, please.

Relaxed like.

What do you want for a present?

How about an ape from Gibraltar?

Don’t be facetious, darling.

That’s just the sort of thing
your father might do.

Don’t worry,
we don’t stop at Gibraltar.

-Where do you stop?
-In Madeira then straight
on to Cape Town.

[pageboy] All visitors ashore,
please.

Yes, bon voyage,Sir Richard.

[pageboy]
All visitors ashore.

I think I’ll go down
to the country
at the end of the week.

You should. I’ll send you
a cable from Cape Town.

And remember to do three times
round the deck every day.

No nonsense from you,
my waistline’s my own affair.

-Goodbye, Mary.
-Goodbye, dear.

We shall miss you, dear.

Goodbye, dear.

Goodbye, Daddy,
have a good time.

I shouldn’t bother
to wait, my dear.

It’s no good keeping
dinner waiting.

We’ll be thinking of you.

-Goodbye.
-Bye-bye.

Where is the purser’s office,
please?

-First door to the right, sir.
-Thank you.

[purser]
Come.

-Good morning.
-Oh, good morning, sir.

Anything I can do for you,
Sir Richard?

Do you have a complete list
of the ship’s passengers?

Yes but it hasn’t been posted
yet.

Can you tell me
if there is a passenger aboard
named Jan Vander Klaue?

I’ll see, sir.

-No, not in first class.
-Any class?

No, no Jan Vander Klaue
at all, sir.

I just thought I happened
to catch sight of him.

I must’ve been mistaken. Thanks.

Is he a friend of yours?

A friend?

A friend of mine?
No.

Janet, my dear, I think
it’s time to go, don’t you?

Oh, I’m so sorry!

Won’t you join us?

-Please do, would you?
-I think it will be fun.

-I think it’s this way,
isn’t it, darling?
-All right.

-Steward.
-Yes, sir.

That man who just left.
Where did he go to?

I don’t know, sir.

Let me see the chit he signed.

He didn’t sign his name, sir,
he just put his cabin number
on it.

[chattering]

[chattering]

Sir Richard, I do hope you
remember me, Janet Boswell.

-Yes, of course.
-A year ago with your wife
at Ascot.

-Yes, indeed.
-Oh.

I see you know each other.

Oh, we’re old friends, Henry.

Henry Caldwell,
Sir Richard Musgrave.

-How do you do?
-How do you do?

I understand you’re a friend
of Alexander Task.

-The Task of Wall Street?
-Yes, he’s the one.

We used to work together
in Transatlantic Oil.

Here! You need
a little attention.

Oh, thank you.

Now oil? Oh, yes, motors.

I wanted to ask you.

What do you think
of Thor Motors?

Well, my understanding
it might be a good investment.

Oh, don’t be so modest,

I read recently that you’re one
of the major stock holders.

-Enjoying yourself, Sir Richard?
-Fine.

Um, the man over there,
do you know him?

[laughing]

Oh, yes, of course, Mr. Keyser.

I’d like to meet him.

Nothing easier.
Let me introduce you.

I don’t believe you
gentlemen have met.

Mr. Keyser,
Sir Richard Musgrave.

-How do you do?
-Excuse me, please.

Forgive me, but I didn’t
quite catch your name.

Keyser.

Do you know, Mr. Keyser
you remind me of a man
I knew years ago.

Jan Vander Klaue.

Oh, that’s a penalty I pay
for having a common face.

Everyone thinks,
they’ve seen me before.

[laughs]

Sir Richard, the radio operator
has been looking for you.

Is my call through?
Yes, this way, please.

Steward,

will you deliver this
note to Mr. Keyser?

Over there, thank you.

[coughs]

[footsteps]

Uh, yes, sir?

Steward. This clipping was
pushed under the door.

-Did you put it there?
-No, sir.

Did you see anyone
else slip it under?

No, sir. But I had a call
to another cabin, sir.

All right.

-Will that be all, sir?
-Yeah.

-[bell rings]
-[pageboy] Lunch
is now being served.

-Hello.
-Mr. Keyser.
Why don’t you join us?

-Oh, yeah.
-Have a drink?

[Mr. Keyser]
Yeah. I’ll have one.

Good morning, Sir Richard.

I had hoped to see you
last night, Mr. Keyser.

Oh, you did?

I’m sorry, I was playing
bridge with some friends.

There’s something I wanted
to talk to you about.

Mmm. Business, business.

I’m on a holiday.
[chuckles]

That’s all you’re interested in.
How dull.

Have you ever been to
South Africa before,
Sir Richard?

A long time ago.

And you, Mr. Keyser?

-Oh, I’ve been there.
-Do you know it well?

Whoever knows Africa well?

Certain parts of it.

Johannesburg and Kimberley
and the northern section
of the Transvaal?

Fine mining country.

Yes, so I’m told.

[Caldwell] Won’t you sit down,
Sir Richard?

Why, thank you.

This is my first trip out.

Oh, yes?

I’d like to talk to you more
about Africa, Mr. Keyser.

Won’t you lunch with me?

Oh, lunch.
I’m so glad you reminded me.

I promised to have lunch
with those people

I played bridge with last night.

If you’ll excuse me,

I’m late now.

-Good evening, Sir Richard.
-Good evening.

May I help you?

Oh, uh, some
cable forms perhaps.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

[clears throat]
Do you know Mr. Keyser?

Mr. Keyser? Yes, sir.

I wonder if you remember
if he’s made any...

phone calls?
Or sent any messages?

Why, yes, sir.
A lot of passengers have.
Including yourself, sir.

I wonder if you remember what
Mr. Keyser’s were about?

No, but, we naturally
keep a report on them, sir.

See, Mr. Keyser and myself hold
something rather confidential

nothing very important
of course.

But, I’d wondered if
he’d gone ahead and

discussed it in a cable?

We can’t divulge
that information, sir.

Jan...

Vander Klaue.

My name is Keyser.

No. You’re Jan Vander Klaue.

Twenty years ago
we were partners.

You haven’t changed so much
that I don’t recognize you.

I don’t know what
you’re talking about.

I do.

I remember it very well.

And so do you.

[people laughing]

You can’t stand there
and pretend you don’t remember
that last trip.

It was unlucky from the start.

That night, outside the Kaffir
village. We were drinking.

But, Sir Richard I don’t drink.

Of course you do I’ve seen you
on the ship.

Well, I take a glass
of beer occasionally.

And that night we were arguing,
and...

then we got to fighting and...

I thought I’d killed you.

It was all a mistake.
I didn’t want to hurt you.

I thought you were dead.

If you were dead, what would be
gained by my giving myself up?

Do you understand?

I’m sorry, I don’t.

Of course, I admit it
was wrong of me to,

run away and take your money.

-Money?
-You know what
I’m talking about?

It’s only 75 pounds, and look
what I’ve done with it.

Manufacturing, oil, mining,
I’ve built it into millions.

Of course, there’s something
else more important.

My family.
I’m married, my wife
is a wonderful woman.

We have a daughter.

Five years ago I got
my knighthood.

There’s a chance
of a peerage in the new year.

Congratulations, Lord Musgrave.

Oh, it’s not that, it’s not
for me, it’s for them.

They’re counting on it.

Of course, a breath,

a word of scandal
and it’ll be all over.

Of course, the law couldn’t do
anything to me, it isn’t murder,

and after all these years,

the statute of limitations
sets in.

Oh, yes, the statute
of limitations.

Exactly. All you could
accomplish would be gossip.

Embarrassing my family.

Well, you wouldn’t
want to do that, would you?
For the sake of a few pounds?

Me? Why ask me?

Because, you want something.

What is it that you want?
What is it?

Do you want me to pay
you to keep quiet?

All right. I’ll pay you.

And I’ll set you up in business,
any business you want.

Just name it!

I’ll put you in one
of my companies.

Fifty thousand a year
as a salary.

What do you think of that?

Or a settlement?
A complete settlement.

Half a million pounds.

Well, tell me what you think?

Tell me.

This is very embarrassing,
Sir Richard.

I’m afraid I have very nearly
as much money as you.

[footsteps]

[footsteps]

[knocking]

May I come in?

-Your daughter?
-Yeah.

-Your wife?
-Yeah.

On this trip, Sir Richard,
I have found myself...

in the unwanted role
of a father confessor.

-But--
-No, wait.

This is not only
embarrassing to me,

but undoubtedly painful to you.

Then why not put an end
to this cat and mouse game?

Admit who you are
and tell me what you want!

But I have told you
my name is Keyser.

And I don’t want anything.

You know, though,
I am reminded of a story.

A true one, I understand.

Why I should be reminded of it,
I don’t know, except...

that it also deals

with the amount of 75 pounds.

75 pounds?

Yeah. Quite a coincidence.

Would you like
to hear the story?

This is, uh,
supposed to have happened

a long time ago in Africa.

I believe I’ve heard you mention

you know Africa quite well,
Sir Richard.

Now, this man
in the story was a prospector.

What was his name?

Oh, what difference
does it make?

It’s just an interesting story.

Now, this prospector
had been down on his luck,

couldn’t get anymore credit,

he did manage
to scrape up the money

for one last final try.

He took a partner,
a young Englishman.

They were out two months,
no luck.

You know how it goes.

Now, this prospector
had just about

75 pounds left

and he had to get back
to Kimberley with it.

But, why?

Why was it so important
to keep 75 pounds?

Did he want to invest
it in something?

Oh, we’ll come to that.

Then, luck, fate, fortune

let’s call it stepped in.

The prospector,

somewhere on his way back

lost the 75 pounds.

And if he wouldn’t have
been found by the Kaffirs,

he would have
lost his life, too.

But then luck seemed
to want to make it up to him.

Months later, he made a strike.

Then good investments...
[chuckles]

...he made millions.
So it goes.

But, you still haven’t explained
why that 75 pounds were
so important.

My wife.

Oh, yes, I remember.

I never met her.

But, the 75 pounds!

Oh, how forgetful of me.

The prospector needed
the 75 pounds,

because his wife
needed an operation.

When he lost it, his wife died.

[man]
Man overboard!

[gasping]

Help me!

And so tomorrow,
we reach Cape Town.

And now, as Captain
of the Craigmore Castle,

and on behalf of the crew,

our officers
and all of the passengers,

I am honored to present
this cup

in recognition
of a very gallant deed.

"Greater love hath no man
than this,

that he lay down
his life for a friend."

So the Bible tells us.
But,

there must be a greater love.

That of a man who is prepared
to lay down his life

for a stranger,

to Mr. AJ Keyser

for his outstanding heroism

in attempting to save the life
of a fellow passenger.

[applause]

That concludes
our show for tonight.

By a stroke of good fortune,

I happened to be on board
that particular ship.

I caught the whole rescue

with my little long focus
movie camera.

I got every detail.

I thought the captain might like
the roll of film as
a little souvenir.

By the way,

building a boat in a bottle,
isn’t difficult

and it’s no work at all

once you have shrunk
the carpenters down
to the proper size.

[pop]

Goodnight.
