(screaming)

(gentle music)

- Anybody home?!

(door rumbles)

This where I report
a stolen car?

- Yes, senor. Come in.

What is your name?
- Swanson.

I'm running a gun club
back in the hills.

- Swanson.

Mm-hm.

What kind of a car?

- Dark green stake bed truck,

ton and a half, California
license, loaded with groceries.

- Uh-huh.

Where was it taken from?

- That's a hard
question to answer.

Look, here's what happened.

The season opens the next week,

and I'm expecting a crowd down,

so I was stocking up
on supplies,

bringing this truckload of
groceries down from Calexico.

Get the picture?

Well, I'd left the club
station wagon at San Felipe,

get a new rear end put in.

So, when I got there, I had
to stop and pick that up too.

Get the picture?

Now, I couldn't run two cars,

so I hired this kid to
drive the truck.

Started him out, oh, a couple,
three hours ahead of me,

followed him in the
station wagon.

Get the picture?

Well, he was supposed
to meet me here.

He hasn't arrived yet,
and that was yesterday.

- Have you looked for him?

- Everywhere.

- Well, then, he must have
gone back to the club.

- No, I just came from there.

- Then you must have
passed him up

somewhere on the road
from San Felipe.

- If I'd passed him on the road,

don't you think I'd know
my own truck?!

- I'm sure you would, senor,

but what if it went
off the road?

- There's no place he
can pull off the road

without getting stuck
in the sand.

- Then how could your
truck be lost?

- If it wasn't lost,
would I be coming to you?!

(chuckles)

- That is a good question,
senor.

Tell me about this boy
that was driving it.

What's his name?

- Miguel something or other.

15, 16 years old, dark,
thin, about so high.

- Would you know him
if you saw him?

- Yes.

- Come across the street
with me, senor.

- That's him.

Where's my truck?!

- Ah, (speaking in
foreign language).

- What's the matter with him?

- Doctor?

(speaking in foreign language)

Miguel is a very sick boy.

He's suffering from shock.

- What from?

(speaking in foreign language)

- Nobody seems to know.

- What did you do
with my truck?!

- Miguel.

(speaking in foreign language)

- What'd he say?

- It's no use.

If he gets any better, the
doctor will let us know.

Come with me, I will take
you to the place

where he was found.

(mysterious music)

Was it your truck made
these tracks?

- Must have.

I had two new retreads
like that on the rear.

- Uh-huh.

Came down the road,
then got stuck.

- [Swanson] Yeah.

Then where'd it go?

- Straight up in the air,
it looks like.

- Look, that truck had
a radio and a heater,

but it didn't have wings.

Now, are you gonna find
it or aren't you?

- Look, senor, I am just
a country policeman.

I am paid to keep the peace.

If someone steals, I
try to catch the thief

and put him in jail,
like it says in the book.

But about this, senor,
I don't know.

The book doesn't say anything
about a thing like this.

- And that's the latest report
on the international scene.

Now, on the lighter
side of the news.

A dispatch from Guavos, Mexico,
says that Mr. John Swanson

is having a little trouble
collecting insurance

on his stolen truck.

What happened to it?

Well, according to his
claim report,

it disappeared without
leaving any tracks.

Mr. Swanson says something must
have carried off his truck.

Now, what could have
carried off his truck?

And, here in Los Angeles,
the city council

has decided to vote upon
the referendum

for increasing the
pay of teachers.

With the interest that has
recently been aroused regarding

the importance of better
schools, it is possible--

- Operator, I want to place
a person-to-person call

to Mr. John Swanson in Guavos,
Mexico.

I'll hold the line.

- I'm getting me a good lawyer.

And if one ain't enough,
I'm getting two.

I'm gonna make that
insurance company pay up,

and pay up fast.

I'm taking them to
court by the...

I'm sorry.

I guess I shouldn't blow
my top like that.

But when somebody calls me

a liar, I--
(doorbell buzzes)

- Excuse me.

- Joyce Manning?

- [Joyce] Yes.

You must be Major Baird.

Please come in.
- Thank you.

- This is Mr. Swanson.

Major Baird.

- How do you do, sir?
- Howdy.

- Please be seated.

- Thank you.

- Would you like a drink?

- [Major Baird] No, thanks.

- Mr. Swanson was good
enough to come up here

and tell me of his experiences.

- No, it was a mere nothing.

I had to be in Los
Angeles anyway today

to see the insurance people.

- Have I missed much?

- Well, he tells me that
he wasn't there

to see what happened
to his truck.

- I guess I got there
just too late.

- Besides the truck's
not being there,

did you see anything unusual?

- Like what?

- [Major Baird]
Tracks in the sand.

- Well, there were car tracks,
sure.

- But no animal tracks?

- Animal tracks?

- Human footprints, Mr. Swanson.

- What's so unusual about that?

- These would be the tracks
of a big man, a very big man.

- Well, there were Miguel's.

I don't get the picture.

How big do you mean?

- Very big.

10 times as big as you.

- Are you trying to kid me?

- Not at all.

I'm trying to find my brother.

- He got a bad dose of
radiation poisoning

in the course of testing a
plutonium bomb.

He started growing at the rate
of eight to 10 feet a day.

You may have read about him.

- Sure.

Colonel Glenn Manning,
the Colossal Man.

I remember.

- Glenn had reached a
height of over 60 feet

when he disappeared.

- Well, didn't he get shot

and thrown off of Boulder
Dam and get killed?

- That's right.

Miss Manning seems to
have an idea

that he survived both the
artillery fire and the fall.

That is what you're getting at,
isn't it?

- I'll leave it up to Mr.
Swanson.

Wouldn't that account for the
disappearance of your truck?

- Look, lady, leave
me out of this.

I didn't see no footprints.

I didn't see no giant.

I didn't see anything.

I've got enough trouble with
the insurance company as it is.

Get the picture?

I gotta be going.

- Can you think of anyone
else who might help me?

- There's a boy named
Miguel down there,

but he's not doing any talking.

Doctor said he's suffering
from shock or something.

I'm sorry I can't do you
more good, Miss Manning.

- Thank you for coming, Mr.
Swanson.

- Good day.

- [Joyce] Goodbye.

- Hadn't you better give
him up, Miss Manning?

The army did some time ago.

- You never found his body.

- The river below the dam is
a mile deep in some places.

His body is down there
somewhere,
and it'll show up in time.

You think Glenn made his
way down that river somehow

and reached the Gulf of
California, don't you?

Believe me, it's impossible.

I was in charge of the
search for him, and I know.

The medical authorities
all agree no man,

no matter what his size,

could take those two
bazooka charges

and a drop of over 700 feet
and come through it alive.

Well, those are the facts.

Take my advice and face them.

- I shall, Major.

Well, thank you for coming.

I'm afraid it wasn't
worth your while.

- It could be if you'd have
dinner with me this evening.

- Oh, I'd like to, but I can't.

I'm leaving for
Mexico right away.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

(ominous music)

(gentle music)

- That is the boy Miguel.

- Has he told you anything yet?

- No, but you can
question him if you like.

He's supposed to speak a
little English.

- Miguel?

Miguel.

- You see, senorita?

You better come with me.

I will find a place for
you to spend the night.

- Thanks, but I'm going
to stay here.

- All night?

- As long as necessary.

- Then my wife better
get you something to eat.

- Oh, thank you.

(Miguel mumbling)

What is it, Miguel?

(Miguel yelling)

Sergeant?

Sergeant!

(Miguel groaning)

(Miguel yelling)

(Miguel mumbling)

- I do not understand what
he's trying to say, senorita.

Call me if he speaks again, hm?

(screams)

(yelling in foreign language)

(Miguel sobbing)

- Miguel.

- Miguel.

Miguel.

(speaking in foreign language)

Miguel.

Miguel.

(speaking in foreign language)

(Miguel mumbling)

- What does he mean?

- It's hard to say.

- (speaks in foreign
language), what is that?

- It's a big fellow,
like an ogre in a story.

A monster, a giant man.

He must have been dreaming.

- Was it a giant, Miguel?

Was it a giant man?

Was it, Miguel?

- We left within an hour
after I got your phone call.

This is Dr. Carmichael.

He's head of our
radiation exposure.

He's very much interested
in your brother's case.

- I only hope I can do
something for him, Miss Manning.

- Thank you, Doctor.

Dr. Carmichael, Major Baird,

this is Sergeant Murillo of
the Mexican state police.

- Where was it the boy saw
the Colossal Man, the giant?

(speaking in foreign language)

- He has not been
able to tell us.

- The sergeant can show you

where the truck disappeared,
though.

- Si, senor.

Won't you get in my automobile?

- Fine.

(gentle music)

- [Sergeant Murillo] This is
where the boy Miguel was found.

These tracks were made by
the truck he was driving.

- The truck apparently
skidded into the water.

It never drove out.

What do you think, Mark?

- It seems like pretty
meager evidence to conclude,

because a truck disappeared,

that the Colossal Man
is still alive.

- But the boy.

- Oh, I'm sure there's
some logical explanation.

- Senores.

Senores, come quickly!

(dramatic music)

That is a very big footprint.

- [Joyce] Major Baird, is
that enough logic for you?

- The foot that made that print

is about 10 times the
size of a normal man.

That would make him
about 60 feet tall.

- Glenn was 60 feet tall.

- He must have gone that
way, to the mountains.

(ominous music)

- You think he could be
up in those mountains?

- Yes, it could be.

There are no people up there.

- Well, let's drive slowly.

Maybe we could find some
more footprints.

(dramatic music)

What do you see, Luis?

- [Luis] There are no
more footprints,

the ground is too hard here.

I see something over there.

- Let's take a look.

- This must be part of
Swanson's missing truck.

- No, this is another truck,
senorita.

Swanson's truck is dark green,
bed stake, ton and a half.

(rocks rumbling)

- Nothing but a rock slide.

- It is getting late.

We better go home.

It is not good to be
here after dark.

(gentle music)

- Thank you.

- Oh, no, thanks.

I have plenty.

- Sorry to be so long.

But I just talked to the Mexican

military authorities
on the phone.

They have troops and
artillery standing by.

All we have to do is
pinpoint the Colossal Man,

and they'll move in on him.

- He might come willingly
if we reasoned with him.

- How do you reason with
a 60-foot giant?

- It's possible he'd
listen to somebody

he knows well, like
Miss Manning.

Why not try it?

- No, I don't want
anybody getting hurt.

- [Joyce] Please let me
try at least.

- No, I'm sorry.

- Oh, be reasonable.

If you use force on him,
somebody will get hurt.

Very well, then, I'll go alone.

- Wait!

Wait, Miss Manning!

Miss Manning.

I didn't ask for this
job, I was assigned to it.

And if I'm gonna get it done,

I'll have to handle it
in my own way.

- Well, it seems to me your
way is going to hurt him

more than help him.

- I have to think of the safety
of others, as well as him.

That goes for you too.

- I'm to forget he's my brother
and do nothing, I suppose.

- It's natural for you to
be concerned about him,

but can't you let it go at that?

Well, you don't even know if
he'll recognize you or not.

- Let me find out.

- We'll see about it tomorrow
when the soldiers arrive.

- Oh, today, please,
before they get here.

Please.

- What makes you so sure
you're going to find him?

Why, he has a whole
mountain range to hide in.

- We have something to
go on, those footprints.

- All right.

Get in my car.

(dramatic music)

Well, he's been raiding these
trucks for food to live on.

This was a rifle.

- Major, look at this.

- [Mark] It's his thumbprint.

- This was Swanson's truck.

(loud rumbling)

What's that?
- I don't know.

(dramatic music)
(Glenn growling)

(Glenn grunting)

Back, Joyce!

(grunting)

(growling)

(grunts)

(loud crash)

(growls)

- I hope they are baking it
the way you want it, senor.

- I think it's all right.

When will the rest be done?

- They say it would
be ready soon.

They are already
loading the truck.

- Good.

Try it.

Can you taste anything?

- Tastes like bread.

What's in it?

- Chloral hydrate,

enough to put him to
sleep for eight hours.

I'll be at the bakery.

- [Mark] We have to capture him,

and this seems to be
the best way.

Dr. Carmichael says it
can't harm him in the least.

- Isn't there any other
way to handle it?

- Well, it's that or
let the Mexican

authorities deal with him.

We have no other alternatives.

- Nobody's taken the time
to think of any,

as far as I can see.

- There isn't time to take.

If we don't get him
before he decides

to move to another mountain,

we may lose contact with
him for weeks.

- I suppose you're right.

His face, I can't forget
how horrible it was.

- Where are you from, Joyce?

- My home is in San Francisco.

- Don't you think you'd
be better off back there?

- Do you know what it
would be like

to be just sitting
around waiting for news?

- You mind if I
suggest a remedy?

It's an old one, but it
usually works.

Find something else to
occupy your mind.

Do you have a job?

- I write copy for an
advertising agency.

- Well, that should help
you forget your troubles.

- I can imagine myself
going back to writing

all those tired old adjectives,

tremendous, gigantic, colossal.

You know what they'd mean
to me now, don't you?

Glenn.

A colossal freak, Major,
and he's my brother.

- [Dr. Carmichael] We're
all set, Major.

(gentle music)

- This is near the area where
he attacked Swanson's truck.

You think he'll eat this stuff?

- All depends on his appetite.

- There hasn't been a
truck through this route

for two days now.

He should be hungry.

Let me drive, I know
this road best.

- All right.

There's still no sign of him.

If we don't make contact,
we'll make the trip again.

(dramatic music)

- Because we are
looking for a giant,

it doesn't follow that
we don't value our lives.

- Besides, we want
him to catch us.

At this speed, he'll
never make it.

- I don't drive this way to
make you nervous, senores.

But the faster we go,
the more dust we make,

and the further away
it will show.

Besides, giants run very fast.

They have long legs.

- He's right behind us!

You better step on it!

(thrilling music)

He's getting close!

- When we get to the
clearing, I will slow down.

We better jump there.

- If we make it!

- We will!

Get ready!

(Glenn growling)

(loud slurp)

(loud chomping)

(loud slurp)

(Glenn grunting)

Let's get out of here.

(Glenn grunting)

Let's go!

(Glenn groaning)

- The case of Army
Colonel Glenn Manning,

the Colossal Man who went
berserk
in Las Vegas not long ago,

is in the news again today.

Military authorities last
night admitted

that the earlier announcement

he had been accidentally
destroyed was an error.

He was captured alive
today in Mexico,

and plans are underway to fly
him back across the border

in a troop carrier transport.

(lively music)

- You may quote me as saying

that the nation and its
representatives in Congress

have nothing but gratitude
for our sister republic

south of the border for
their unstinting cooperation.

And we're proud of Major Baird,

and the way he handled the
problem of the Colossal Man.

It was a good job all around.

- Well, now that he's
being brought

back to the United States,

what does Congress plan
to do about him?

- Do about whom?

- [Reporter] Why, the giant man.

- Oh, as far I know,
that matter doesn't come

under congressional
jurisdiction.

I was given to understand the
Department of Medical Research

takes over from this point on.

- There's nothing in
our directives

about the disposition of
a 60-foot giant.

Naturally, we'll do what
we can in a scientific way,

but it's impossible for
this department

to assume the responsibility
of his feeding and custody.

Why don't you take
this question up

with the Health and
Welfare Department?

- Yes, the Manning case
was referred to us

here at Health and Welfare,

but we found it lay outside

the scope of our original
appropriation.

I have an idea it was
turned over to Congress

for action during the
present session.

- I can't imagine who told
you to call me.

The problem isn't one for the
legislative branch to settle.

Why don't you call the Pentagon?

(lively music)

- Tell the pilot to circle
the field once more.

- [Woman] US 11034, you are
to circle the field again.

- [Pilot] Roger.

- He has enough fuel left
for five more minutes, Mayor.

I can't understand your
not giving your permission

for him to land under
those circumstances.

- I think I've made our
position pretty clear.

We have no facilities
for a giant here.

- When that plane
runs out of gas,

it's coming down whether
you like it or not.

- It can't say any
longer than is necessary

to refuel and take off again.

- Take off for where?

We need time to decide
what to do with him.

Can't you find us a warehouse
to keep him in temporarily?

- Our warehouses are all located
in the heart of the city.

This creature's presence there

would constitute too
great a police problem.

Now, that applies to every
other large downtown building,

including the Coliseum.

Have you considered the
Hollywood Bowl?

- We can't leave him
exposed to the weather,

even if he is a giant.

- Well, I can't make
any further suggestions.

- That hanger doesn't
seem to be in use.

- Well, that's impossible.

This airport is one of the major

traffic centers of the
western world.

You realize what it would mean

if an uncontrollable monster
should get loose here?

- I give you my word,

we won't keep him here
a minute longer

than is absolutely necessary.

- All right.

You may tell the ship to
come in for a landing.

- [Woman] Troop
carrier US 11034,

you may land on runway 170.

(Glenn growling)

- Why are you keeping
Glenn here at the airport?

- Well, I'm holding him
here till Washington decides

what to do with him.

- "What to do with him"?

He ought to be in a
hospital getting treatment.

- They don't make
hospitals that big, Joyce.

Besides, as yet the
doctors haven't turned up

anything that can help him.

- Why don't they treat
him with sulfhydryl?

Isn't that what they said
would cure him?

- Well, they found it
stopped his growth,

but I'm afraid it
won't reverse it.

- I see.

Well, they can't keep him here

as if he were some
kind of cattle.

- It's just for the time being.

I'm afraid the world doesn't
think of a 60-foot man

the way his sister does.

(Glenn grunting)

(Glen growling)

- [Dr. Carmichael] I
suppose it's necessary

to keep him tied down like this.

- [Mark] If I could trust him,

I could let him have
more freedom.

As it is, I have to
play it safe.

- Glenn Manning!

(Glenn growling)

- As you see, he doesn't
even know his name.

Colonel Manning!

(Glenn growling)
- Colonel Manning!

Colonel Manning!

(Glenn growling)

(Glenn grunting)

(Glenn growling)

(high-pitched beeping)

(dreamy music)

- [General Morrison]
Colonel Manning!

This is General Morrison!

I order you to return
to your trench!

(high-pitched beeping)

(explosion booms)

(gentle music)

- [Operator] Operator.

Operator.

Hello? Hello.

Operator.

(screaming)

- [Man] Commander
Manning is growing

from eight to 10 feet a day.

At the moment, he's
18 feet tall.

Tomorrow, he'll be 26 feet,

the next day 35, maybe
40, and the next day--

- I just don't want to
grow anymore.

I don't want to grow anymore!

(dramatic music)

- [Woman] Come back, Glenn,
please!

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

(gun fires)
(crowd screaming)

(gun firing)

(car crashes)

(loud crash)

- [Announcer] There he is,

a 60-foot giant in the
streets of Las Vegas!

Look at the size of that man.

(crowd screaming)

(guns firing)

(loud crashing)

(helicopter whirring)

- Glenn.

Glenn Manning, do you
recognize us?!

We do not wish to harm you!

We want to help you!

We want to help you to get well!

Do you understand?!

We can help you!

Okay, Harrigan, let's go.

Drive it in hard.

We have to penetrate the
bone on the first injection.

I doubt if we'll get a
second chance. You ready?

One.

Two.

Three!

(loud screech)

(groans loudly)

- Look out, he's reaching down!

- [Man With Megaphone]
Glenn, drop that needle!

(dramatic music)

(Harrigan groans)

- Bazooka forward!

Stand ready to fire!

Ready!

Fire!
(guns firing)

(Glenn groaning)

(dreamy music)

(grunting)

(alarm wailing)

(soldiers yelling)

(Glenn growls)
- Glenn!

No!

No!

(Glenn growling)

- Harder, now all together!

(Glenn growling)

Move it up!

(grunting)

(soldiers screaming)

(dramatic music)

Hold your fire!

Head him away from the
planes with tear gas!

- Anesthetic would be
better than tear gas.

- Get some here on the double.

Captain, get reinforcements.

- What are you gonna do to him?

- I don't know.

But I can't let him loose
among a million people.

- Are you gonna have
to kill him?

- If it comes down to it,
I will.

I'm responsible for the
lives of others first.

- Please, don't.
- Him second.

- God, don't, please.
- Sergeant!

- [Joyce] Oh, God.

- See that Miss
Manning gets back

to her hotel, and stays there.

(Glenn growling)

(woman screaming)

(guns firing)

(screams)

(guns firing)

(growling)

(Glenn grunts)

(loud crash)
(Glenn screams)

This is an emergency.

Get me the control
tower immediately.

This is Major Baird here.

Get all the aircraft into
the air at once.

That goes for the Air Force

and jets at the south
end of the field.

Right!

(alarm wailing)

(Glenn groaning)

- Stand clear, in case he falls.

(gun fires)
(Glenn screaming)

(gun fires)
(Glenn screaming)

(gun fires)
(Glenn gurgling)

- Look out, men!

(Glenn groaning)

- City council's up in
arms about this.

Public has a right to
protection, you know.

- We understand your position,
Mr. Mayor.

I came out from Washington
for the sole purpose

of straightening this thing out.

Now, we're here to decide
what's to be done with him.

- He's safe now, is he?

- Well, he's too weak to
break loose at the moment.

He lost considerable blood
in his attempt to escape.

Besides that, we've taken
extra precautions with him.

Let me show you.

We keep a watch on him
night and day.

Those manacles were
specially wrought

to stand 10 times his
estimated strength.

We have them anchored in cement,

weighing two tons and
some 12 feet in the earth.

Guards have been doubled,

and we keep a reserve
force on standby duty.

And there's not much chance

he'll give us any more
trouble for the time being.

- Well, you certainly have
taken measures,

but you can't expect to
keep him here for life.

Have you any idea what'll
happen to him eventually?

- Well, that depends.

You see any hope that
he'll ever improve?

- Well, I'd rather have
you ask Dr. Carmichael.

Dr. Carmichael.

Dr. Carmichael, the Mayor.

- Doctor.
- How do you do?

- And General Nelson.

- How do you do, General?

- What can you tell them
about your patient, Doctor?

- Well, the big question
now is his mind.

He may be suffering from
amnesia, shell shock,

loss of memory, whatever
you want to call it.

In that case, we have
techniques now

that will bring him out of it.

On the other hand, if his brain
tissue has suffered injury,

he'll be a psychopathic case
and a menace until he dies.

- Is there any way of telling?

- An examination would do that.

- How soon can you
proceed with it?

(telephone ringing)

- Almost immediately.

- Please do so.

We'll decide what's to
be done with Manning

as soon as we have the
doctor's findings.

- We'll keep you posted,
General.

And I'll check with you
before I return

to Washington, Major.

- Yes, sir.

- But I tell you, a man's
life depends on this plasma.

I know 10 gallons is a lot,

but Dr. Carmichael explained
the case to you this morning.

I can't sit here and
argue about it.

It's needed right away.

Just a moment, please.

Dr. Carmichael.

Will you talk to the Red
Cross people, please?

They refuse to send any
more plasma for Glenn.

They say we've used too
much already.

- Mark.

- This is Major Baird.

My men and I will see that
you get back all the blood

we use for this case.

Now, you send over what
we need immediately.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

They'll have it here in
half an hour.

- Oh, Major.

Wait.

I want to thank you.

- Forget it.

- I'm sorry for what I
said yesterday.

I know you've tried to save
Glenn as much as you could.

- You look tired, Joyce.

Isn't it time you went home?

- I suppose it is.

- There's an army car
waiting outside,

if you'd like to go
home tonight.

- With a solider to see
me to the door?

- This time I'll do it myself.

(Glenn snoring)

(ominous music)

- This is an
electroencephalograph.

It records impulses set off by
different parts of the brain.

Records them on this paper,
making these wavy lines.

Now, we're going to
try to stimulate

your brother's mind with
various ideas.

If one happens to
arouse a response,

it will cause a tiny electric
current to occur in his brain.

And that, in turn,
will be greatly

amplified by this machine

so that it'll register
on this paper.

- What would that tell us?

- If he responds to anything,
it means curable amnesia.

If not...

- I understand.

- [Dr. Carmichael] Will
you get this now, please?

(Glenn snoring)

That's far enough.

Dr. Richardson?

How's the examination coming?

- Coming along fine.

I'll be down in a minute!

- [Dr. Carmichael] I'll
get the instrument ready.

Could you hook this up, please?

Bill, bring a projector.

Set it up over there.

Is the screen going to be
all right up there, Doctor?

- [Dr. Richardson] Yes,
that's fine.

- [Dr. Carmichael] Any
opinion yet, Dr. Richardson?

- [Dr. Richardson] Never seen
such dreadful facial injuries.

How were they sustained?

- [Dr. Carmichael] When
he fell from Boulder Dam,

he must have hit his
head on the rocks.

Of course, the wounds
went untended,

so scar tissue formed
as you see it.

- [Dr. Richardson] Shock of
such a fall would indicate

the possibility of
amnesia, wouldn't you say?

- [Dr. Carmichael] Mm-hm.

- [Dr. Richardson] Well,
that's standard.

I get a normal nervous reaction.

That's certainly not
typical of amnesia.

- [Dr. Carmichael] Looks like
brain trauma, I'm afraid.

- [Dr. Richardson] Are you
ready for the association test?

Are you ready, Phil?

Let's have the first slide.

(projector whirring)

- [Dr. Carmichael]
Glenn Manning!

Look at the picture in
front of you!

Does it mean anything to you?!

You went to college there,
Manning!

(growls softly)

- [Dr. Richardson]
Better try another,

we're not getting any response.

(grunts softly)

- [Dr. Carmichael] Look again,
Manning!

Look at this ship!

It brought you back
to this country

after your service in Korea!

(grunts softly)

Try another.

Look at this, Manning!

Look at this face!

Do you recognize it?!

(grunts softly)

Does this man mean
anything to you?!

Look at it, Manning!

Do you understand?!

It's your face!

What do you think, Doctor?

- [Dr. Richardson] I don't
see any use continuing.

He doesn't seem to respond.

- Let me try, please.

(gentle music)

You must remember, Glenn!

Try!

Your childhood!

Remember your bicycle, Glenn?!

It was red, and it had
a light on it!

Oh, we had fun when we were
kids, didn't we, Glenn?!

Your first high school date,

when dad let you take the
car, you were so proud!

Oh, you must remember, Glenn!

(groans loudly)

Please, Glenn, please,
try to remember!

(groaning loudly)

Glenn!

(groans loudly)

(screaming)

Oh, Glenn!

(Glenn screaming)

(Mark sighs)

- [Dr. Carmichael]
Get your orders?

- They're shipping him
out tomorrow morning.

The navy has a ship ready
to take him to the island.

It's a small one about
60 miles off the coast.

- That doesn't leave
us much time.

- It'll take all night to
get him ready.

- Told Joyce yet?

- No.

- You'd better.

She's at her hotel.

- I'll see you back here
in about a half an hour.

(sighs)

(groaning softly)

He'll be well-provided for.

An airlift is being set up,

and food will be
parachuted down to him.

He'll be supplied with
everything he needs.

- Just the same, it's horrible.

- There's no place in the
civilized world

for a creature that big.

You see what's happened to him.

He'll be happier by himself.

- Oh, I suppose I should
agree with you,

but I can't help feeling
terribly sorry for him.

- Look at it this way,

Glenn has become a total
stranger to you.

Not your brother anymore,
but a monster,

with the instincts of
a wild beast.

And there's nothing you and
I or anyone else can ever do

that will change him
back to what he once was.

(ominous music)

(groaning softly)

(chain clacks)

(groans softly)

- Will he be alone on
this island?

- The navy will land an
inspection party every month.

- I'd like to go with them,
if I can.

- I thought you would, so
it's been arranged for you.

Goodnight, Joyce.
- Oh, wait.

I know you've done everything

you can for him, Mark,
and for me.

Thank you.

(telephone ringing)

Hello?

Major Baird?

Just a moment, he's right here.

- Major Baird here.

When?

- Well, he was checked
okay just 10 minutes ago.

- Glenn has escaped.

Let me speak to Dr. Carmichael.

- I can't, sir, he's dead.

- This is an
all-points bulletin.

The Colossal Man is loose
in Los Angeles.

All units report
immediately upon contact.

I repeat, the Colossal Man
is loose in Los Angeles.

All units report
immediately upon contact.

(sirens wailing)

(dramatic music)

- Will they know where you are?

- Yes, I told Harris we'd
be here in the office,

waiting for news.

(rotary dial whirs)

- Let me have the
police department.

I'm calling for Major Baird.

Yes, we know he's escaped.

Has he been sighted yet?

I see.

Thank you.

No police reports.

He hasn't been seen.

Where could he be?

(dramatic music)

(telephone rings)

- Baird here.

He's been spotted in
Griffith Park.

Do you have a map?

- Yes, I've got the map of
Griffith Park right here.

- Order up the
armored artillery.

We'll surround the area
and move the infantry

in on him till we make contact.

Don't open fire until he's
isolated from all civilians,

and then, only if
absolutely necessary.

Have the police block
off all access roads.

Move up our communications.

We'll set up field
headquarters in the hills.

I'll take command.

Right.

- All right, men, here it is.

- Attention all units.

Attention all units.

The Colossal Man is in
the Griffith Park area.

Car 42, 52, and 61, proceed to
the Riverside Drive entrance.

Cars 40, 41, and 46, proceed
to the Ferndale entrance.

Roadblocks will be
set up at once.

- We interrupt our
regular program

to bring you a special
police bulletin.

The Colossal Man has
broken loose,

and is now known to be in the
vicinity of Griffith Park.

Steps are being taken to
recapture him.

Do not go near the area.

I repeat, do not go
near the area.

You may endanger your
life by doing so,

and you are certain to
impede emergency services

which need all the
space they can get.

This station is
dispatching a mobile unit

for on-the-spot coverage at
the scene in Griffith Park.

(children chattering)

(dramatic music)

- Hey, bud!

Pull out.

- I'm waiting for a
load of kids.

- Where are they?
- In the Griffith Observatory,

looking for Sputnik
or something.

- Well, hurry them up
and get out of the park

as quick as you can.

- What's gonna happen?

- There's trouble.

The giant man's on the
loose around here.

- Let's go. Hurry it up!

All aboard.
(children chattering)

(siren wailing)

- We'll set up a roadblock here.

He's somewhere between us
and the observatory up there.

This is Major Baird at the
Griffith Park roadblock.

All light units, turn
your lights on.

(dramatic music)

- Ladies and gentlemen,
you're witnessing a manhunt

for the biggest man
in existence.

We're in Griffith Park.

It's been surrounded by troops.

They're moving up to try
to make contact.

That building you see up there
is the Griffith Observatory.

Now the searchlights are
swinging over to our left.

(dramatic music)

(groans)

- I want artillery to cover
the mountain on all sides,

particularly, here and here.

(dramatic music)

- Arthur!

Laurie!

Hurry, we're leaving now!

- Sure, I'd go up in
a rocket ship.

What's to stop me?

They've got all the
problems solved.

- You wouldn't have
anybody to talk to.

Cold up here.

Wish Mom would've made me
bring my coat.

- I'd talk to all the people
back on Earth by radio.

Maybe I'd even call you, Laurie.

- Laurie!
- Then when your father's

objecting to you talking
on the phone too long,

you just tell him it
was someone on the moon.

- That wouldn't make any
difference to my father.

- [Teacher] Arthur!

- [Laurie] I wonder what's
going on down there.

- [Arthur] Maybe the
Martians have landed.

- The teacher's been calling us.

- [Arthur] Let her call.

Boy, look at all those
searchlights.

- I'd like you to meet
some of the officers

working here with the
army to restore order.

Any trouble with the public

causing congestion of the
disaster area?

- Not this time.

They seem to be keeping the
roads pretty well open for us.

- I understand you were able
to get everyone out of the park

before anything could
happen to them.

- That's right.

- Well, we really appreciate
you men at a time like this.

- Oh, Officer.

There was a school bus
from Westmont Junior High

up at the Planetarium tonight.

Did you see it come down?

- All cars were checked out
of the park some time ago.

- Are you sure?

My daughter Laurie was on it.

I've been waiting for
her down at the corner.

You see, we live in Glendale,

and I thought if I picked her
up here and drove her home,

she could get her sleep.

She has to get up so early in
the morning on school days.

Well, I brought her
coat in case she's cold.

- Wait a minute, and I'll check.

- Thank you.

- [Teacher] Arthur!

Laurie!

- We'd better go now.

- There's nothing for you
to worry about.

The bus is still up there,
but it seems to be safe.

- Can't I go through?

Let me go to Laurie, please.

She ought to have her coat.

I wanted her to take it
when she left

the house this morning,
only I forgot to remind her.

- She'll be all
right without it.

Just you take it easy and
wait right here.

- Laurie Edwards and Arthur
Lang, where have you been?

- Oh, over there,
watching the lights.

- There are a lot of people

down there.
- Let's go!

- Something's the matter.
- Well, get in the bus.

Quickly. We have to go.

- Look, look at the giant!

(dramatic music)
(children screaming)

(loud clack)
(groans loudly)

- There he is!

He's tremendous!

- Glenn Manning, listen to me.

You're surrounded.

It's impossible for
you to escape.

My men have orders to
fire on you if you try.

(groans loudly)

Give yourself up.

You will not be harmed.
(Glenn groans)

I repeat, escape is impossible.

(groans loudly)

You will not be harmed if
you give yourself up at once!

Give yourself up, Glenn!

Give yourself up!

Surrender yourself or
you will be destroyed.

(groans loudly)

(dramatic music)

(groans loudly)

(screams)

(children screaming)

- That's Laurie's bus!

Please, let me go.

That's Laurie.

Don't you see somebody's
got to do something?

(mother sobbing)

(engine rumbling)

- [Mark] Joyce, come back!

(children screaming)

- Laurie!

Oh, Laurie.

Oh, Laurie.

(children screaming)

(Glenn groans)

- Glenn!
(Glenn groans)

Glenn!

Glenn, listen to me!

Listen to me, Glenn, please!

Glenn!

Put them down!

Put them down, Glenn!

Glenn!

Put them down!

Put them down, Glenn, please!

Please, Glenn, listen!

Try to think!

Oh, you must, Glenn, please!

Try to think!

Wait here with me, Glenn!

They're coming for us!

- Joyce.

- No!

Don't go!

Wait, Glenn, wait!

(sparks crackle)

Please, no, Glenn, no!

(sparks crackling)
(screaming)
