Good evening, landlubbers, and welcome aboard.

We should have a pleasant voyage this evening.

Sorry, I get carried away sometimes.

We shall make several interesting ports of call tonight.

But first, we must endure a rather dull 60 seconds.

while we get beyond the three -mile limit.

thousand dollars.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'd like to rent a safety deposit box, please.

Just fill this out?

It wouldn't be for long.

A month, say, maybe even less.

One month, $1 .75.

$12 .47.

What? Oh, the number of your safety deposit box.

Thank you. You may come in now, Mr.

Benson? Will you come in here, please?

You can use this booth, Mr. Benson. Just come out when you're ready.

Be

right

with you.

Will you come with me, please?

Can I help you?

Yes, I'd like to insert an ad.

All right.

How many times do you want it to run?

Just once.

It's not too late for today, is it? No.

We have a special rate for three days.

Well, if I want it repeated, I'll let you know.

By 11 a .m., that's a rule.

Now, what's the classification?

Lost and found.

Under found.

Found.

Found early Tuesday morning.

vicinity Pinto Inn, a sum of money.

Owner may have fame by identifying and paying for this ad.

And then put the box number.

Found early Tuesday morning, vicinity of Pinto Inn, a sum of money.

Owner may have fame by identifying and paying for this ad. That's right.

Box 308.

That'd be 75 cents.

It's none of my business, but was it a large sum of money?

Why, yes, it was.

In that case, if I were you, I'd go on over to the police station and let them

know about it.

Money's important in this town.

People are concerned about it.

Name me a town where they aren't.

I think you'll find them more concerned here.

Thanks.

I'd like to report finding a sum of money.

You wait here.

Captain wants to see you.

So you found some money.

How much?

Well, I don't think I should mess any amount.

At the proper time.

Was it in a gold clip marked CN?

How would you know about that?

And was it $102 ,000?

$102 ,000?

Oh, no, you're wrong about that.

It was $92 ,000. Come on, now. I knew about the clip.

Why wouldn't I know about the amount?

I'm telling you the truth. That's all there was, 92 ,000.

You sure you haven't blown the other 10 ,000 at the tables?

I tell you, there was 92 ,000 in the clip.

If there was 10 ,000 more, I don't know what happened to it.

What's your name?

Benson, William Benson.

Address?

242 Wesley St. Louis.

Las Vegas address?

Mirador Motel.

Occupation?

I'm a teacher.

A professor.

Paleontology.

Look, are you trying to tell me there was supposed to be $102 ,000 in that

clip?

Mm -hmm.

When did you get into town?

Yesterday morning.

Why'd you come to Las Vegas, uh, professor?

To have a good time.

Mostly to play roulette.

Now, see here, Captain.

All I did was find some money and report it.

If it's short, that's too bad.

Maybe somebody stole it from its rightful owner and then blew the $10

the tables before they lost it. But don't accuse me of something... Okay,

I just want to get everything straight.

That's all.

You didn't win last night, did you?

No, I didn't win.

In fact, you went broke.

Yes, I went broke.

Well, almost, anyway.

I had to save some money to eat on and pay my hotel and get home.

I saved up $400.

I'm a teacher, as I said, so don't ask me how long it took me to save it.

Didn't take very long to lose it.

Just one night.

Where'd you find the money?

The Pinto Inn parking lot. It was just lying there in plain sight.

And it was $92 ,000 in $1 ,000 bills.

Where were you coming from?

The casino.

It was about 3 .30.

So you took the money and you went to the casino and... I did not.

You didn't?

No.

And I want you to know that I'm not accustomed to being told I'm a liar.

Neither am I accustomed... Okay, okay.

Summer down.

You seem to know who lost the money. Why don't you get him in here and ask him

how much it was?

Suppose you tell me just what you did between the time you found the money and

right now.

Well, I found the money.

Went to my motel and counted it.

I didn't know what else to do at that hour.

You could have brought it here.

I didn't think of it.

Or you could have got out of town right then. Why didn't you?

That did occur to me.

You knew banks keep a record of big bills.

You knew you'd never get away with it. No, I didn't know that.

But I knew trying to cash a thousand dollar bill wouldn't be easy.

So you did think about it.

Who wouldn't?

I didn't sleep much last night trying to figure out what was the best thing to

do.

So now you've got it all figured out.

Yes.

And I want to tell you, Captain, I couldn't keep it.

Now why don't you phone up the person who lost the money?

Or should I do it?

You got the money, will you? I didn't want to carry it around.

I put it in the box at the bank.

That was wise.

You sure now there's only 92 ,000?

Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, stick around outside for a while.

Close the door when you go out.

Hello, Mr. Newsome.

Hello, Sergeant.

Do you have a match, Sergeant?

Thank you.

Mr. Newsome, Mr. Benson.

Well, the captain's been talking to me about you, Mr. Benson. I want you to

how glad I am to meet you. Seems I owe you a great debt.

Well, I was glad to do it.

I didn't like being kept waiting out there, though. I'm sorry about that.

I suppose the captain told you that the amount I found was 92 ,000.

Yes, Mr. Benson, he did, and he said you checked your count.

Oh, there's no mistake, believe me. Well, I don't want you to worry about

We'll find the other 10 ,000.

That much money doesn't stay lost in this town.

Isn't that right, Captain?

That's right. It'll show up somewhere.

As I said, I don't want you to worry.

I understand you put the money in the safety deposit box.

Yes, and I'll be glad to get rid of it.

I can understand that.

Then we'll have to think about you.

Oh, that isn't necessary.

I hadn't really figured out... Oh, we can talk about that later.

You know, the Captain wanted to put you on the 11 o 'clock train.

I still think it's a good idea.

He's a worrier.

It's a good thing, too. Somebody around here has to worry.

Well, after this is settled, I would like to be on my way.

I hadn't intended to stay long anyway.

Of course.

We can discuss it after we pick up the money. Shall we go?

Well, that's it. Just as you said.

$92 ,000.

And now we have to take care of you, Mr. Benson.

I'll have to talk it over with my partner first, but I'm sure it'll be all

right. Oh, I didn't really expect anything. It isn't every man would have

what you did.

Thank you.

Let's get on for Pinto Inn.

For Pinto Inn?

Mr. Newsom owns a Pinto Inn.

Well, not all of it. I own a good piece of it.

Oh, you won't need that safety deposit box anymore.

You better give Miss Purdy back her key.

Oh, you're right.

Miss Purdy?

Mr. Newsom? Here.

You still have another month to go.

Well, if you need it, it'll be here. Thank you. I don't think I'll need it.

And thank you for your invitation to go out to the inn, but I think I'd better

be on my way.

You're back to St. Louis?

You're a married man, aren't you, Mr. Benson?

Yes. I think that's fine.

I'll tell you what you're going to do.

You're going to call that wife of yours and get her to fly out here for a week.

You'll both stay at the Pinto Inn, the finest in the house.

All on me.

Gee, I don't know whether Joyce... You think it over on the way out to the inn.

Are you satisfied, then, the both of you?

Of course you're satisfied.

Everything's under control.

Okay, then, if you'll drop me off in my office. Sure.

Go, Benson.

Thank you, Captain.

Oh, um... Wait a minute, Mr. Newsome. What's the matter?

Well, I've been thinking it over.

I'm not sure I want to call Joyce.

Joyce? Oh, that's your wife.

Yeah.

I'm not sure she'd like it here.

She'd have a great time and all expenses paid.

Any woman would give her right arm to come out here without having to worry

about money.

Well, it's not just money, Mr. Newsome.

Swimming, riding, golf, shows.

You're telling me she wouldn't like that?

I don't know.

Why don't you ask her and find out?

Gee, you're more than kind.

Call her.

All right, I'll see what she says.

It's more like it.

Good afternoon, Mr. Newsome. How are

you?

It's a market, honey.

Oh, I just remembered.

What? My bag at the motel, if we're going to stay here. Oh, I'll pick it up.

Come on.

This is Mr. Lent, Mr. Benson.

Mr. Lent will take care of you while I arrange things.

Excuse me?

Enjoy yourself.

Courtesy of the house is yours, Mr. Benson.

Courtesy of the house?

Yes, the house will stake you to any game of your choice.

I think I'll just watch for a while.

How about a drink?

Thank you.

Give this gentleman anything he wants. First year of the house.

Scott, some water, please.

Place your bets, folks. Place your bets.

No more bets.

I'm going to stay quiet.

Boss wants to see you. Oh, fine.

What's the matter? Bill, there are two awful men here.

They... Sit down. You cut me off. Why'd you do that?

I said sit down.

My wife's in trouble.

Your wife isn't in trouble yet.

You thought you were getting away with something, didn't you?

You fooled the police, but you didn't fool me.

You play it straight now and everything will be all right. I don't believe in

holding grudges.

But if you don't play it straight, sometime tonight something will happen

your wife.

And I won't be putting it against him.

Now let's have my $10 ,000 you stole.

So much for our visit to exotic Las Vegas.

We shall cast anchor soon, for I wish to have a meeting with a business

associate.

But hang on, please.

I see one of those dreadful sandbars ahead.

I shall see you after we tie up.

I've just completed a meeting with my sponsor.

in which he had a change of heart.

And I think it's safe to say that we may be spared his commercials in the

future. Why don't you tune in next week and see? Until then, good night.
