Thank you.

does, Ginny.

That's how you get stone walls.

The Great Wall of China started out being pebbles.

Oh, Mike, it did not.

Well, of course it did, Ginny.

Ginny, Ginny, bright as a penny, how does your garden grow, hmm?

With silver bells and pucker shells and pretty mates all in a row.

Right. But it's really rocks and Judy's helping me find them.

Dad, have you seen Clarence? Yes, he's out for his daily stroll.

Oh, Paula, did you get the guest tent ready for the Brockys?

Brockys? Yes, the Brockys.

Dad, how could I forget them?

The Brockys are coming here?

Yes, they're going to make a new documentary film on African bird life.

Matter of fact, they should be along any time now.

Well, you've done it again.

Why couldn't you have checked with a reliable mechanic before you bought

I'd have bought a new truck if we could afford it.

I know.

This truck, everything else, secondhand.

In this case, food.

Now, just someday, you're going to travel first class. You wait and see.

How long am I going to have to wait, my darling?

I'll walk in for help.

It shouldn't be too much further.

Take this.

Clarence is out there. Yes, and the Brockins don't know it.

My wife, down there.

Nadja, are you all right?

Yes, yes.

There was a lion out there.

Did you shoot him?

No, of course not.

I only fired to frighten him off.

My husband and I photograph animals. We don't kill them.

Now, Mrs. Brockie, forgive me, I'm Dr.

Tracy, and this is my friend and associate, Mike McCooler.

I'm John Brockie. How are you, Mr. Brockie?

Mr. Brockie?

That lion you saw is undoubtedly Clarence. He's practically a member of

family. He is, Croissant?

That's Clarence.

I thought for a while I was seeing things.

No, Mrs. Brockie.

Clarence normally doesn't welcome visitors to Romero, but believe me, you

are very, very welcome.

Oh, I'll never forget that film you did with Dr. Marloff.

In Uganda?

You saw that?

Oh, yes, both Paul and I did. We saw the showing in Joburg. It was excellent.

Thank you very much.

Professor Miloff is a remarkable man.

A great anthropologist.

Well, that's very true, but frankly, I was referring to your photography, Mrs.

Brockie. It's first rate.

Who did the narration on the lecture?

I did.

Oh, you did an excellent job.

We both thank you.

I only wish we had more appreciative audiences like you.

Well, surely it must have been a great success.

Well, most of our films are labors of love.

We only lost a few thousand on the Marlowe project.

But it was such a fascinating study on prehistoric sites.

Well, the film was a success.

It brought worldwide attention to Professor Marlowe's discovery, but...

for us, it... Mr. Parkey!

Jenny,

what on earth?

Judy and I have been getting ready for tomorrow.

If you want to take our pictures, do we look all right?

Oh, Jenny, you look very fetching.

Both of you.

And of course, my wife will be very glad to take your picture.

You know, we're here to take pictures of birds, Jenny.

I know.

We like birds and they like us.

So can we come along, please?

Well, I'm not sure. I don't know. Why not?

If Dr. Tauri has no objection.

Oh, no.

Barutu is a long way from the larger animals.

Besides, you're going along, aren't you, Paula?

Oh, well, I'd like to.

Well, I'm sure Jenny will enjoy it.

Oh, and then I could take care of her. Then it's all settled.

Mrs. Brockie.

I'll see you in the morning.

See you in the morning.

Well, that's certainly very nice of you. I hope she won't be any problem.

Oh, no problem at all. In fact, we'd be delighted.

No problem at all.

In fact, we'd be delighted.

Now, Jim, it was important to her.

Remember you told me when you were a little girl how your father used to take

you along on his camera trips?

John, why can't you forget about the past and think of today?

You know how tight we are on time and film.

We have neither to waste on a seven -year -old child.

And what about a little affection?

We can't afford to waste that either, huh?

What did you mean by that?

Nadja.

I know how hard it's been.

just because I object to your being impractical and impulsive.

Well, maybe if... if we had a child...

A child.

To drag halfway around the world, making that film that's going to make screen

history.

John, it won't work. You know it won't.

It was your decision, too, you know.

I know, I know.

Well, maybe both of us were wrong.

No, the time will come that film will be made.

I will not settle for you being second -rate, unrecognized for the talent that

you have.

What do you mean, for the genius you have?

You're a fool, John Bragi.

Come on. Go back in and get the rest of our things. All right.

Jenny, leave that alone.

That's not a plaything. She didn't realize.

I wasn't hurting it.

I spent two hours last night overhauling this camera.

Of course, you wouldn't know you were sleeping. Not you.

Here, Jenny.

Use this.

Oh, thank you.

May I use it, Mrs. Brockie?

Yes, of course you may.

You get better pictures with that anyway.

Well, are we all set?

Yes, we're ready.

Oh, Mike.

Look, keep in touch, will you?

At least call again about that trouble up at Manabe Village.

Leopard's still on the loose. Well, apparently.

He has half a dozen trackers out on the trail, but he may need some help.

Well, there's nothing for you folks to worry about.

Manabe's miles to the north of here, and Baratu is miles to the south.

So have a good day.

Jenny, Judy, you come with us.

From here on it's your safari.

Right. Look over there.

Beautiful. Did you get it too, Jenny?

I sure did.

Good girl.

Those are flamingos, Jenny.

I know.

Judy, those are flamingos like the ones we have at the compound.

We'll go pretty slow.

And keep your eye out for Jardine's parrot. They look almost like the Amazon

parrot. I promised Dr.

Karnos at Nagoro I'd try to bring one back for him. Oh, here it is here.

Right. Take a good look, Jenny.

I bet I'll see it first.

I bet you do.

We'll be watching, too.

Don't go too far, Jenny.

I won't.

Mike here. Come in, Mark.

Mike, we just reported that that leopard attacked a herd of goats last night.

They need us up there.

Paula better come and take care of things at the compound.

We're leaving right now.

Come on, Jenny.

Can you make it back all right?

No, no problem.

Do you need me to?

Probably not, but if so, we'll call.

Oh, Paula, can I stay here, please?

Well, I'm not sure, honey.

Oh, she'll be all right. We'll keep an eye on her.

You promise to stay next to the truck?

Well, all right. You can stay then.

Don't worry, little one.

Leopard is way up north, across the river.

Where's Jenny?

Oh, I left her with the Brockys. They said they'd take care of her.

Oh. Oh, all right. Uh, Mike, how's the gas?

Plenty, and the reserve tank is full.

Okay, well, we should be back before nightfall.

No, Judy.

We're supposed to take a nap.

You heard what Mrs. Brocky said.

Call Jenny to see this.

She's resting and out of our hair. Leave her alone.

What is it, Judy?

Kyle's gone.

Nadia.

Here we are, Mrs. Rocky.

We found a cave. And Judy found this inside.

And we marked the way back to Fred.

Jenny, do you promise not to wander off?

Jenny, you go back to the truck and you stay there. She's got to understand.

Jenny.

But we just wanted to show you.

John. Look at that.

It can't be.

It's a hand axe.

The first crude tool of prehistoric man.

Perhaps of an even earlier age than those from the caves at Uganda.

You know, Dr. Marloff always felt that a very important discovery might be made

in this area. And he was right. It's here and we found it.

Jenny knows where the cave is.

We'll photograph her going in.

No, darling.

Darling, can't you imagine what the newspaper headlines would be?

Seven -year -old child makes archaeological history.

Well, John, I have a much better way.

We'll go back to Romero and we'll say nothing.

Then tomorrow we'll come here alone and we'll locate the cave.

Then a few months later we'll come back with a complete expedition.

correctly financed, correctly equipped, and by mistake you'll find the cave.

You'll discover it. Oh, John, it'll be the Brocky Cave.

That's what they'll call it.

Darling, this is what we've always waited for.

It'll mean publicity and all kinds of funds for museums and

recognition.

Recognition that both of us deserved it.

This is the way it should be, John.

This is the way it must be.

But, Jenny, she knows.

I'll handle Jenny.

Oh, John.

Please, please. Please.

All right.

Jenny? I'm really sorry, Mrs. Brocking. We just forgot.

Of course you did.

But you know, if Dr. Tari found out about that silly old cave, he'd know

you broke your promise to us and he'd be very disappointed, wouldn't he?

I guess so.

And he'd be very angry with us because we weren't watching you and you wouldn't

like that, now would you?

Gosh, no.

So let's promise each other not to tell Dr. Tari anything, no matter what, okay?

And about that, uh, that old rock that you found, well, I'll trade you for it.

Dr. Karnas doesn't really need that bird that we have in the cage, that, uh,

Jardine's parrot.

So I'll give it to you.

A bird for a rock.

Now that's fair, isn't it?

Gosh, it sure is.

And, um, we have our secret.

Promise?

Of course you are.

Well, let's start there.

Judy! Judy!

Come on, Judy. You're still a movie star today.

That's right, Judy. We can't finish without you.

Dad and Mike won't be back for another hour.

You sure you can find a way?

Oh, there's no need for you to worry. We can manage, thank you. We just have a

few shots left. We won't be long.

I know someone who's rather unhappy that you only need Judy and not her.

Well, look, I'm sorry we can't take Jenny, but we're on a terribly tight

schedule. Yes, truly, we are sorry.

Especially since Jenny is such a good girl.

Good morning, Jenny.

She loves that bird you gave me. It was very kind of you.

That's all right.

Come on, Judy.

Jenny, honey, are you unhappy because they didn't take you too?

That's not why.

They came out of the bush over there.

And, of course, we have Jenny's obliging trail.

Come on, Judy.

I'm sure it was in this direction.

Well, there's no sign of it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

There's another one.

So much for Jenny's trail.

We'll have to search the whole area.

Oh, it's impossible.

Maybe not necessary.

Judy.

Judy.

Judy.

That rock you found yesterday, the one Jenny liked, remember? It had a very

strange shape.

Oh, if only you hadn't lost it, I could show it to her.

I didn't lose it. I put it under the seat.

Then where is it?

Judy, listen.

Yesterday you found something, a rock.

Jenny liked it. Now you'd like to take her another one, wouldn't you?

Good. Then show us where you found it, the cave.

Take us to the cave, Judy. Come on. Take us to the cave.

Yes,

it would be an area like this.

Where, Judy?

Keep going.

Where's the cave, Judy, where the rock's for Jenny?

I've got you. Don't worry. Okay. I've got you. All right. You all right? Yeah,

I'm fine. Okay. All right.

It must be in here, Judy.

We were right.

Not you.

We were right.

Hand axes.

Dozens of them.

And bone relics.

How ancient?

It's older than Marloff's discovery.

I don't think another human being has been in here in over a million years.

All right, bring us a few bone relics. out so we can check further our hand

access. Nothing else.

Leave everything else exactly as it is.

All right.

No,

Judy. No, no. Put that down. Jenny won't want that.

Take that.

Right there.

Here, and take this.

Come on, Judy. Come on.

John, come see this out here at the entrance to the cave.

Nadja, look.

Look at this beautiful specimen.

Oh.

Don't pull it out.

I'll take your picture and that'll be proof.

Now, John.

Give me your hand.

John. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute.

Wait, John.

Give me both hands.

John. Watch out.

Now, John.

John.

Get me a long stick of some kind. Get me something that I can pull myself up.

John.

Tell me, Jenny, Jenny, bright as a penny, how does your garden grow today?

That's a very pretty bird you have there. Do you like it?

Yeah, I love him.

Did you have fun yesterday?

It was okay.

I know somebody that's pretty unhappy.

What's wrong, honey?

Nothing.

Why is Mrs. Brockie so mean?

Has she been mean to you?

Well, not actually to me.

It's the way she treats Mr.

Brockie.

I like him.

Well, honey, sometimes things don't work out for people like they hoped it

would. And when that happens, well, they become unhappy with themselves. And

without really realizing it, they take it out on other people.

It's what we call frustration.

Oh.

Jenny, where did you get this rock?

I can't tell you.

You can't tell me.

Why not?

Well, I made a promise.

Jenny.

This rock was shaped and used by a human being thousands of years ago.

It could be very, very important to the whole world. And if you know where it

came from, do you know?

Jenny, when people love each other, they must trust each other.

You know you can trust me.

I made a promise.

A crush your heart promise.

Well, promises are all right to keep, honey, if they're not bad promises.

Do you think this was a bad promise, Jenny?

I'm sorry.

I want to tell, but I just can't. I really want to tell.

This is all I could find. That's fine. That's fine. Put it across that rock.

Cross the rock. Now sit on it.

Put your weight on it.

I can't.

Put your weight on it. All right.

That's it, Paul.

Stay on it.

We've got to get her out.

Nadja, in the car, there's a small spade. Go get it.

In the car, there's a small spade. Get it, Nadja.

No!

You might get caught again.

I'll have to take that risk. Now go get it.

John, if we do get her out, she'll lead the others to the cave and we'll lose

credit for the discovery.

She'll suffocate in there.

Do you think I want it to happen?

Judy is a chimp.

She's not a human being. She's a chimp. One of thousands in Africa. And they die

every single day.

From animals or predators or what have you.

I don't like this decision any more than you do, but... But it can mean

everything to us.

Everything we've worked for all these years.

And this is the way it's got to be.

John, please.

This is our last chance to make it.

I can't believe.

Which way was it, honey?

Gosh, I'm not sure.

So they came here to shoot scenes with Judy, yeah?

Jenny, can you find that trail of yours?

I think it was this way.

Now, remember, John, we say nothing.

All right.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, you still having trouble with the leopard, huh?

I gather you've already found it.

We were working with your movie equipment still in the truck.

We didn't know what you're talking about.

Well, frightening a seven -year -old into silence isn't very worthy of you,

Brockie.

Where's the cave?

And where's Judy?

We don't have to stand here and listen to this. Come on, John.

Mr. Brockie, you didn't answer Marsha's question.

And Judy apparently led you

there.

All right, where is she?

I'm asking you, where is she?

Please make him tell, Dr. Torrey.

Please make him tell.

You have no authority to question us or detain us.

Now, come on, John.

Marsh, suppose Mr. Brocky and I settle this alone.

No, Mike, let him go.

Please, Mr. Brocky.

Please tell us where Judy is.

Well, Mr. Brocky, Judy happens to mean a great deal to us.

And from the looks of you, I have a feeling that she's trapped inside that

Oh, no.

Then Judy will die.

Thank you.

Careful, there's stuff still coming down.

You could get the whole thing in on her.

Wait, wait.

Oh, I should have thought.

Remember, Nadia, when we worked with Professor Marloff, he said often there

two entrances to these ancient caves.

That's right. Jenny and I will go look for it.

Probably in that area.

All right.

Now, Mike, keep digging here. I'll help him look around.

Right. Oh, and Mike, work as fast as you can.

Go away.

You won't get any business here today.

Please help us find her in time.

Please.

Amen.

You hurt your hand.

You'll be all right, honey.

Look, let's keep on looking. You look over that way and I'll go over there,

This could be it.

Did you find it? This looks as if it might be it.

Could be. She's right. If we can move this rock.

Yell again, Jenny.

Judy!

Answer me!

Judy! Answer me!

Come on, let's see if we can get this open.

It's the second entrance, all right.

drop any formal charges against you.

That's very forgiving of you, Dr. Harry.

Well, it is true that you two almost made us lose, Judy.

But by the same token, you also saved us. And for that, we're grateful.

Thank you.

Mr. Brockie, I, um... I'm going to try to use a little persuasion on the museum

director at Nagoro.

After all, I think it's only logical that you two should be the one to make a

film record of the excavation at the cave.

Oh, thank you.

We appreciate that.

You will say goodbye to Jenny for us, won't you? Certainly. I don't think

that'll be necessary.

Don't forget this, Mrs. Brocky. He's really yours.

Oh, and here's your camera.

No, Jenny, you keep that from us.

Oh, thank you.

Goodbye, Jenny.

Bye, Miss... Rocky.

Bye, Mr. Rocky.

Goodbye, Jennifer.

Guy, no one ever kissed my hand before or called me Jennifer before.

Oh, I almost forgot. I promised you Judy.

You don't really want her, do you?

Well, I'll tell you a secret, Jenny.

Last night, Mr. Brocky and I decided that we'd like to have a child of our

And if you don't think that Judy would be offended, we were kind of hoping that

it might be a blonde.

Well, goodbye.

Yeah, we'd better go.
