Three kings.

Pardon me, sir. I wonder if I could impose on your good nature for a moment.

What can I do for you?

Well, I wonder if you'd be kind enough to change this $100 bill.

The bartender doesn't want to give up all these small bills.

Looks all right.

Thank you. I appreciate it very much.

Can I buy you a drink? No, thank you.

Just in case those two fellows I won this from are poor losers.

Hey, you can't be too careful.

Well, my friend set them up down the bar.

Otto Justin has had a stroke of good luck, and I feel like celebrating.

We'll drink until that's gone. Thank you.

Those McCullers are noisy critters, aren't they, Mr. Justice? Yeah,

but fat me, Mr. Fraser, fat me.

You know, they can imitate almost any sound a human can make, even to act best,

and they can speak whole sentences.

Keep up that screaming all the way to St. Louis,

they're going to hear some sentences they never heard before in Africa.

Macaws are from South America, Mr. Fraser.

I bought them from a sailor in New Orleans when I

landed there from Africa with the other animals.

They're all a little excited now, moving about like this,

but they'll quiet down as soon as they're safely in the home.

Carried a lot of animals up river.

Horses, cattle, even goats.

Kind of makes me feel like a kid again going to the circus.

That's exactly where my animals are headed for, Mr. Frazier.

For a traveling circus that's headed for the frontier out of St. Louis.

There are a lot of small towns springing up all over the country with them.

Full of kids and adults who would pay as much as a dollar a

piece just to see wild animals and birds from far off land.

Sounds like a money-making business. Oh, you'd be surprised.

I beg your pardon, are you the captain?

Well, I am for this trip, ma'am. Captain Holden's away in St. Louis on business,

and the pilot, Ben Fraser.

Well, I'm Abby Saunders.

Oh, yes, Miss Saunders. Welcome aboard. This must be Patty, right?

Yes. We're going to Memphis to live with Grandma and Grandpa.

Well, I hope you enjoy your trip, Patty.

Sometime when I'm not busy,

I'll take you down to the engine room and show you what makes a boat go.

That'd be very nice of you, Mr. Frazier.

Where'd you get all the animals?

They're mine, son. I captured them in Africa.

All by yourself?

No, no.

I had some natives to help. Don't bother the gentleman, Paddy.

Nothing at all, ma'am. Otto Justin, Mrs. Sons.

It's a pleasure, ma'am. I guess you already know Paddy.

You'll have to excuse Patty for being so forward.

Not at all. You and Mr. Saunders are very fortunate to have such a fine boy.

Well, my husband is deceased.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to cry. I imagine you'd like to get settled in your quarters, my son.

Yes, that'd be very nice.

I'll get someone to carry your bags. Oh, that won't be necessary, Mr. Fraser.

No, I'd consider it a privilege if Mrs. Saunders would allow me to assist her.

How very kind of you.

Silas, show Mrs. Saunders to the Massachusetts captain.

Patty, come on.

Can I steer and watch and move the animals, Mother?

I'll tell you what, Patty.

In a little while, when the animals are less nervous,

I'll take you on a personally conducted tour of every cage.

Really, Mr. Justin?

That's a promise.

All right, Brie, let's let the car go over.

Yeah, Justin Cargo's got a lot of clothes packing cases along with the cages.

What do you want to store them? I want to where he can get out of it.

He's got the animal food in it.

All right, swing it aboard. We'll store it in the hole.

Don't stack anything on top of these boxes.

It's the first car of the cabin on the left, ma'am.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Johnson.

It was my pleasure, Mrs. Saunders.

And if any time during the trip I can be of any service to you,

please do not hesitate to call on me.

You're very kind, but I think we'll manage.

Well, you know, sometimes these riverboats carry some pretty rough passengers.

After all, you're a very attractive lady traveling alone.

Why not at all, Mr. Justin?

I have a young man right here who takes very good care of me. But mother,

there could be some things I couldn't help you with.

What if, what if one of the windows got stuck?

You'd need to call a man to help you open it.

He's absolutely right.

You can never trust a window on a riverboat.

Particularly since they're not windows, they're shutters.

Oh, yeah.

And so they are. Well, perhaps we meet again on the deck or in the salon.

Perhaps. It's a small boat. Come on.

Gee whiz, Mother. Don't you like Mr. Justin?

Oh, certainly. I think he's a charming gentleman. Then why did you send him home?

Well, we have done back here.

Maybe he'll never come back and see us again, and won't let me see his animals.

Oh, he'll show you his animals, and he'll be back to see us.

My gun bearer was a good ten feet away when that

big cat sprang at me from out of the trees.

Well, he didn't know how to shoot the thing anyway,

so there was only one thing to do and only a split second in which to do it.

So I grabbed a spear from one of the natives standing beside me,

planted the butt end of it firmly in the ground,

and pointed it straight up in the air.

Then I crouched down quickly out of reach,

just as the spearhead stopped that panther in midair.

Did it kill him?

Well, if it didn't, at least he was the most

surprised panther ever to jump out of a tree.

Well, I'll tell you one thing, Justin. You got a lot more nerve than I have.

I won't even go out and set the traps.

I'll let somebody else do that.

Skin the animals and deliver the furs all bundled up at the boat landing.

Then all I got to do is pay good hard cash for them.

That's the only kind of hunting I'm interested

in. It's an exciting life, Mr. Harney.

I wouldn't give it up for anything.

How about another out? Yes, sir.

I thought you'd be closed by now.

So did I, but the big game hunter over there would rather

tell stories all night than see me get a little sleep.

Hold it, Justin. This one's mine.

You paid for the last one. Well, it doesn't matter.

As long as you keep me entertained with those stories of yours,

I'll buy you drinks all night long.

I'll get your change.

Well, thank you, Mr. Harvey.

Mr. and gentlemen.

See you in the morning.

Um, don't say anything to Mr. Hardy, but I'm buying this drink. No,

it's too late at night to get me in the middle of an argument.

Just put it in with his change. He'll never bother to count it.

It's for your trouble.

Thank you, Mr. Justin.

Yes, sir.

Here you go.

Come on.

Evening.

Up kind of late, aren't you, sir? Hmm, been taking care of my animals. Oh,

by the way, if they should start making noise,

I'd appreciate it if you'd wake me up and tell them. I sure will.

A stranger going in there would just cause more of a disturbance.

That's right, Mr. Justin.

We wouldn't want them to wake up the passengers. Right. Night. Good night, sir.

No, unless you don't think I can handle this rough stretch ahead.

I wouldn't speak very well of your ability as a teacher,

would I? Go on, Mr. Frazier, get some sleep.

You can't handle all of Captain Holden's duties on your own, too, without some help.

Well, just don't try to set any speed records, huh?

What's wrong now, Mr. Travis?

Don't always be on the defensive, Mr. Carney. There's nothing wrong.

Well, then don't be bothering me. I've been trying to climb into me bunk.

I've been keeping you in business for 16 hours straight, you know.

Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without you, Carney.

You'd be floating back downstream is what you'd be doing.

Now, what else is on your mind?

Well, I just want you to cut your speed in half.

We got a stretch of river coming up here.

Never could decide just where it wanted its bottom to be.

Why didn't you say so in the first place? And?

One more thing, Connie. Yeah? Go to sleep.

Somebody there?

Who's there?

So how do you start from the beginning and tell me everything you remember?

Must have been the forcing of the door that woke me up.

And I realized somebody was in the room.

He was all crouched down, so I couldn't get a good look at him.

I called out, and then the bookend hit me.

I don't know what happened after that, except that my wallet is missing.

You remember anything about him, the way he walked, his clothes, anything?

I told you, all I could see was a shadow.

I don't sleep with a lamp lit,

but I should have if I didn't know what kind of a boat I was riding on.

Mr. Hardy, I'm sorry this happened.

You're sorry?

Do you know how much money I was carrying?

Over $4,000. How am I going to buy furs without any money?

Anybody else on board know how much money you were carrying?

No, of course not.

You were spending pretty freely last night. Yeah.

I bought a couple of rounds of drinks. That doesn't mean anything.

Maybe somebody got a look inside your wallet.

Yeah.

Those men at my table, I never saw them before. Maybe one of them did it.

So, did you see anybody wandering around the deck last night after the salon closed?

Not after Mr. Hardy and the other two fellas came out.

Just after Charlie closed up.

They all went to bed.

Oh, it was that fellow Justin. He was feeding his animals.

I saw him go into his cabin, too.

Nobody else. You mean you didn't hear this break?

Angel's pretty noisy, you know.

Well, what are you gonna do about him?

About who?

Those fellas I was drinking with.

What do you expect me to do?

Well...

We'll search them, find my money, arrest them. Mr. Hardy,

I can't accuse anybody of a thing like that without something stronger to go on.

Something stronger to go on?

$4,000 of my money is somewhere on this boat.

If you don't find it, you can replace it. I hold you responsible, Fraser. Now,

is that strong enough for you?

Mr. Hardy, I'll do everything I possibly can to get your money back.

Without more evidence, I can't guarantee I'll get it or the man who did it.

I'll post a reward for the thief's arrest.

A lot of good that'll do.

Mr. Hardy!

There are 49 passengers and crew on this boat.

One of them stole your money.

That means 48 of them are innocent.

Now, what do you expect me to do,

line 48 people up against the wall and search them like they were criminals?

Are you going to let me handle this my way without

getting everybody as upset and as mad as you are?

I don't care what you do, Fraser. Just find my $4,000.

And get that door fixed. I don't want to be killed in my sleep.

You sure are pretty. Here's a little fellow I know you'll like, Patty.

What kind of monkey is that, Mr. Justin?

He isn't a monkey, Patty. He's a baby chimpanzee.

You see, he doesn't have any tail. He's a member of the ape family.

He certainly is tame, isn't he?

It's because he's smart enough to know that I'm his friend. You know, in some ways,

he'll have the intelligence of a six-year-old boy by the time he's full grown.

Don't get so close, Patty. You have to be careful.

He won't hurt him.

Well, I don't care if he is a baby. Those arms look awfully strong to me.

They are. But if he got mad, you see, he wouldn't grab you like a gorilla. No,

he's too clever. You know what he'd do?

Well, he'd keep his distance,

and then he'd throw something at you or pick up a club.

That's the way chimpanzees protect their families, by throwing rocks.

Can I hold him, Mr. Justin? Do you think you should?

Oh, sure, go ahead.

He's almost human.

Well, he's as close as you can get.

He's more like man than any other animal.

Why, he's as far above those monkeys as man is above the chimpanzee.

In intelligence and reasoning.

Or as some men are above others.

So look for anything suspicious, Carney. You know,

one of them flashing too much money, acting guilty, anything.

I'll do better than that, Mr. Fraser.

All right, you river rats!

I got something to say to you.

You see this?

I'm gonna break it like a matchstick over somebody's head if I find it

was one of you that stole the money off that passenger last night.

And if it was, I'll find out.

I wouldn't put it past any of you.

What are you standing around for? Get back to work!

Don't worry, Mr. Fraser. With one of my men,

this'll scare him into giving himself away.

We're getting rid of the evidence.

And another thing, if I catch anybody using money for fuel,

I'll toss you in the fire pot along with it.

Oh, I can't tell you when I've enjoyed anything so much, Mr. Justin.

We both thank you for your kindness.

Well, I was hoping you might feel obligated.

Enough to do something for me. Well, two things, really.

Yes?

Well, number one, drop the formality. My name is Otto.

All right, Otto.

And number two, it's time for lunch, and I'm hungry, but I dislike eating alone.

Well, then why don't we all have lunch together?

I consider your debt paid in full.

Oh, Patty.

Come along, dear. We're going to have lunch now.

I'm not hungry. Can I stay here and play?

Not now. Come along.

Goodbye. I'll be right back after lunch.

I'm sorry, Patty, but I don't think it's a very good

idea for you to come in here alone without me.

Yes, sir.

I'll bring you to see your pals another time. Don't worry.

This afternoon? Mind your manners, Patty. Now, he said he'd bring you back.

He mustn't bother Mr. Justin about it.

Otto.

So after Patty's father died, I tried to hang on by myself.

It was just a small cotton farm, but after two years I sold it.

He did a stronger hand than mine to keep it going.

So Patty and I will live with my parents in Memphis

until I can decide what I want to do.

Mother? Yes?

Will we go back and see the little chimpanzee this afternoon?

Now, what did I tell you about that?

Yes, ma'am.

You eat your lunch.

I thought I might try to open a little dress shop or something like that.

It's my guess that a lady as attractive as you are will be facing the decision

of which man she is going to marry before she has a chance to go into business.

Once you've experienced the thrill of a safari in the jungle,

you can never be happy until you go back again.

And it's the same the next time and the next time.

Probably nothing in the world could ever make me give it up.

Unless, of course, I were to find the right woman,

then I might be persuaded to settle down in one place.

Mother?

Oh, yes, Patty? Can't we go see the chimpanzee again the first thing in the morning?

Oh, dear, can't you just enjoy the nice boat ride and the wonderful river air?

I guess so.

The most beautiful lady who ever traveled up or

down the Mississippi on this or any other boat.

Thank you, Sid.

Shall we?

Mr. Justin?

Where's little chimpanzee Z?

Yes, Patty?

Oh, fruit, plant shoots, and a few insects.

Mmm, mostly bananas.

Please, Otto.

You shouldn't have done that.

I thought we did it, Abby. Can you tell me you didn't want me to kiss you?

What must you think of me? I only met you yesterday.

You can't measure your feelings in terms of time, Abby.

Particularly on a boat where a day is equal to at least a week on land.

That still doesn't make it right.

It does, Abby.

Patty, you do like him, don't you?

Who?

Otto.

Mr. Justin.

I guess so.

Do you?

Yes.

I like him very much.

Gonna marry him?

What makes you ask that?

I heard you talking outside the door.

Well, how would you feel about it if I did marry Mr. Justin?

I don't know. It'd sure be fun to have my own pet chimpanzee.

Well, you've been pretty lucky tonight, Mr. Jameson. If your luck holds out,

you can retire from selling pots and pans to housewives.

I've never had such a winning streak in my life before.

Well, I'll pay my last hundred dollars to see if your luck holds.

And I'll call you.

And we are kings full of queens. Now, what do you think of that?

I think I better go feed my animals.

Too fair. Good night, gentlemen. See you in the morning.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

THE END

Hi, baby. You think I wouldn't be back to see you? Well, I brought you something.

Oh, boy, see? I know you'll like that.

Sorry to wake you up, Mr. Justin,

but I was afraid the noise would disturb the deck passengers. I'm glad you did.

By the way, I'd appreciate it if you could keep

anybody else from coming into the hold.

I'll have a hard enough time quieting those birds without strangers around.

You don't want to go in there. Just get them all upset.

Go, go.

Go, go, get back in your cage. Go on. Go on.

Back in your cage. Go on.

What are you doing down here?

I'm sorry, Mr. Justin.

Where'd you get that wallet?

The big monkey gave it to me. Gee, I didn't know there was a big monkey down here.

Give it to me, Patty. I thought I told you not to come down here alone.

You gonna tell my mother?

No, I'm gonna let you do that.

In fact, if you'll help me quiet these birds... We'll both cover.

You go speak to them softly, and I'll get some feed.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Justin?

Yes, Patty?

I'm sorry I disobeyed you.

I don't think any harm will come of it. Come on.

Well, now, where did this young man come from?

He was just having a midnight snack with his new friend, the little chimpanzee.

So that's what the Byrds are making all that fuss about, huh?

I don't think there'll be any more disturbance tonight.

Thank you, Mr. Justin. Night.

All right.

Jameson, what happened to you?

And robbed.

Robbed and slugged over the head. That's what happened to me. When did it happen?

No, I don't know. I was knocked out.

Half hour, hour, maybe longer. I don't know.

He's had time to get rid of the money. And himself.

I don't suppose you gotta look at him.

Not him, Frazier.

It.

What?

I saw it. I touched it.

What are you talking about?

There was no man in my cabin, Frazier. It was

some kind of a big animal, like an ape.

You got a pretty nasty cut on your forehead. You better let me get it passed up.

Then you can start from the beginning and tell me everything you remember.

Yeah, all right.

Don't think just because I got a chair busted over my head that... Oh,

I don't know what I'm talking about.

And the big monkey didn't hurt me at all.

He just wanted to play and give me all his money.

But then Mr. Justin walked in. Patty, are you sure you just didn't dream all this?

No, Mother, it really happened. Ask Mr. Justin.

What's it all about, Otto?

Well, it's really a very simple explanation, Abby.

However, it's most important that you hear it now.

All right.

Well, if you'll just step out into the companionway with me for a moment.

Well, it's awfully late.

All the more reason why we shouldn't disturb Paddy.

He's lost too much sleep already.

Yes, he shouldn't be up.

Dear, I'll be just outside. You get back in bed and go to sleep, okay? Okay, Mother.

Do you have an idea what it's like to be awakened out of a sound sleep

and be expected to comprehend a wild story like the one Patty told?

Do you have any idea what it's like to have somebody

stumble on your most closely-guarded secret?

The secret.

It could cause trouble, Abby, and it could be very costly to me.

You see, everything Patty told you was true,

except what he saw was not a big monkey. It was a full-grown chimpanzee,

and rather large as chimpanzees go.

I don't remember seeing any large ones down there.

Well, that's because I keep it hidden in one of the packing cases.

Hidden?

It wouldn't do for people to know I had such an animal with me.

You'll have to forgive me, Otto. This still doesn't make any sense.

You see this, Annie?

It's the juice of a plant that grows in Africa.

The nose of a chimpanzee is particularly sensitive to this smell,

though to the human being it's almost odorless.

Well, my animal has been trained to follow this scent and

bring back to his cage anything that bears its odor.

He's also been trained to fight if necessary to perform that function.

But why, Otto?

Because usually what my chimpanzee retrieves is of great value,

like that money that Patty saw him with last night.

Otto, where did you get that money?

From a man named Jameson.

He was a heavy winner at the poker table.

Well, I was afraid that all that money might be too rich for his blood.

Looked like almost two thousand dollars,

because I haven't had a chance to count it yet.

And the man who was robbed last night?

Mr. Hardy, yes. He was good for over four thousand dollars.

Well, you see the trouble it could cause, Abby?

Patty stumbling on my secret like this.

Why?

You're nothing but a thief.

Oh, look. Now, Abby, don't make it any more difficult for me than it already is.

I've become very fond of you and Patty. Don't touch me.

I guess I can thank you for making a complete fool out of me.

Abby, control yourself.

It may save your life.

Look, it's unfortunate that Patty found out

what he did in the hole, but it happened.

Now it's your responsibility to see to it that

the information you both have goes no further.

If either you or the boy tells anybody what you know, I'll have to kill you.

Sure, I've already realized nearly $6,500 in less than three days on this boat,

and I will not permit anyone to put me out of business

while we're still this far away from St. Louis.

I hope you won't be foolish enough, my dear, to put my threat to a test.

Even if I'm out of the way,

you know that I'm clever enough to have you taken care of.

It's bad enough for a boy to grow up without a father.

Mr. Justin?

I'd like to see you in a minute, please. Certainly, Mr. Fraser.

Certainly.

Well, remember what I said, my dear.

I mean it more than I ever meant anything in my life.

Good night.

See you in the morning.

Now, Mr. Fraser, what can I do for you?

Keeping the young lady out kind of late, aren't you? Well,

if the young lady doesn't mind, Mr. Fraser, why should you?

I was just telling her about her young son's middle-of-the-night escapade.

Yes, I heard about it.

Is that what you want to see me about?

No, it isn't.

You know Mr. Jamison, I believe?

Yes, he plays a tough game of poker. Well, what happened, Jameson? Why the bandage?

I was attacked and robbed by a big... by an ape.

Really? Well, that sounds most extraordinary.

Is that all you have to say about it? Why should I say more?

That depends on how much more you know about it.

Sounds like you're trying to accuse me of something.

We've had two robberies on this boat since we left Natchez.

At least one of them was committed by a large, hairy animal resembling an ape.

According to Mr. Jamison. Saw what I saw. I had my hands on it, too.

You know about such animals, Justin?

You even have one in your cargo, I believe.

I have a baby chimpanzee.

I assure you that he would be incapable of doing such a thing.

Maybe.

But there's one more thing.

You were with each of the victims just before they retired.

I saw you with Mr. Hardy myself last night.

Mr. Jamison tells me you played the last hand of poker with him tonight.

Then you are accusing me.

Let's just say I'm investigating you with the hopes

of eliminating you from the list of suspects.

Would you like to begin by searching my person for the money?

That'll do for a start. You won't have another

look at your animals down the cargo hold.

My medicines.

Oh, there you are, Mr. Jamison. Now,

does that feel like the big hairy ape who broke

a chair over your head? Don't be ridiculous.

I was just about to suggest the same thing to you.

And I've had just about enough of your insinuating that I'm making something up.

Oh, on the contrary.

I believe you're convinced of it.

But you'll have to admit that anybody who's

awakened out of a sound sleep and attacked,

well, it might be a little bit,

just a little bit inaccurate about what attacked him. I saw it. I touched it.

It wasn't my imagination.

That's a good banana if you're hungry, eat it.

No, thanks.

There's nothing stowed away in here, Mr. Fraser. Eat more, man.

I guess you're right, Si.

Let's go.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the same as he is,

that I just dreamed it up about that ape. I didn't say that. Well,

I take it I'm no longer a suspect, huh?

I didn't say that either. Go up and search Justin's room, Si. Yes, sir.

And Si.

If you don't find anything,

get the crew up and get every passenger that's on

deck or in a cabin down the salon to be searched.

And while they're there, go through all their things.

You mean now, sir? In the middle of the night?

I mean now. I'm going to put a stop to this foolishness before the sun rises.

I think you ought to tell Mr. Fraser about Mr. Justin.

Oh, no, Patty.

No, you heard what he said.

Now, listen to me.

You must promise me you'll never say a word about this to anybody.

Not a single solitary person, do you understand? I promise. Oh,

and don't be afraid, darling.

We'll be getting off the boat soon, and we'll never have to see him again.

I know how you people feel about being roused out in the middle of the night.

It's better than being attacked and robbed while you're asleep.

And it could happen to any of you if we don't find out who's doing it.

Until we do find the thief, everybody on this boat is a suspect.

So this is the best way to get your name cleared.

If you'd done this when I told you to,

you wouldn't be worrying about a second robbery now.

I wish I could give you as good a guarantee, Mr. Hardy, that even this would stop.

If you'll just step up here a few at a time,

we'll get this over as quickly as possible.

I trust being in the midst of a crowd will not

cause you to be filled with senseless courage, my dear.

One can be just as dead with people around us alone.

Okay, you're all right, ma'am.

Well, I sure hope so.

We didn't find a nickel, Mr. Fraser. We didn't overlook a thing.

All right, you people can go now. I'm sorry for your inconvenience.

Here, I'll do that, my dear. He's too heavy for you.

No, I'll wake him. He can walk.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Saunders. I mean about keeping your boy up so late.

That's all right, Mr. Fraser. He can make it up tomorrow.

You look pretty tired yourself. She is, Mr. Fraser. Now, if you'll excuse us,

I'll see her safely to her cabin.

Come on.

You go on in now, Patty. I want to talk to your mother alone.

Please, not now.

Go on in, son. You behave very well in this salon, Abby.

You're an intelligent woman.

I don't like having to watch you, my dear. Not like this.

It was so much nicer before Patty took that trip to the hold.

There's no reason why it can't be like that again.

You were beginning to like me very much, weren't you?

I feel nothing but contempt for you.

Are you sure that's all?

No.

I'm afraid of you, too.

And I'll keep your secret because I am afraid.

But I'll never feel anything but contempt for a thief.

Patty, I want to talk to you.

I can't.

Why not?

I just can't.

Did Mr. Justin tell you not to?

No?

Eddie, you were down in the cargo hold tonight. Now, what happened?

I can't tell you. I can't tell you.

Who was just in here, Patty?

Nobody.

I saw that door close. Who was it?

Let him alone.

Who was it?

Then you better make him answer me.

Patty, tell him what he wants to know and he'll go away. It was Mr. Fraser.

What did he want?

He wanted to talk to me, but I didn't talk.

What did you tell him?

I didn't tell him anything honest, Mr. Justin.

All right, Justin, call him off. I wouldn't think of it, Mr. Fraser.

He might save me from a very unpleasant task.

All right, Coco, kill him.

All right, Coco, get back in the cage, come on.

I'm not gonna hurt you now, come on. Get in the cage.

Hello, Gray, how are you? Fine, fine. Well, you got in sooner than I expected.

Must have been a good trip, huh?

Very good. Good, good. No river pirates this trip, huh? Not a one.

That's fine. I'm glad you had a good trip. Goodbye, Mr. Fraser.

Thanks for everything. Hang on to your money, Mr. Hardy.

What happened to him? I got slugged on the head. Slugged?

Bye, Mr. Fraser. Glad you recovered my money.

Glad we solved the mystery, Mr. Jameson.

Mystery? Yeah, about the robberies.

Hey, uh... Robberies?

Keep your eye on that fella. Bye, Mr. Fraser.

Can't say the trip didn't have its brighter moments.

I think you ought to stick to big game hunting, Justin.

I've never been in Africa in my life.

I picked up the whole cargo from that sailor in New Orleans.

That figured.

Morning.

He was robbed, too.

No, Gray, he's the one that brought the ape on board. Ape? Yeah,

the one that robbed all the passengers. Robbed the passengers?

Now, wait a minute. I thought you said that you had a good trip.

I did say that, Gray. You did. Well, then,

would you mind telling me the whole story right from

the beginning? Well, I can't right now, Gray.

I got to go to the zoo. Zoo?

Yeah, you don't want the Enterprise to end up traveling circus, do you?

See you later, Greg.

Well, hello, Captain. Welcome aboard. Hello, Travis. By the way, how was the trip?

Oh, just fine, Captain. Just routine.
