[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here's Singapore in the south of Malayer,

population approximately 550,000.

University, shipbuilding, important seaport.

Doesn't it say anything about the 32 nightclubs there?

Have you already worked down in Singapore?

Not to work.

However, I once had a friend, an oil sheik.

He took me with him down there.

He was quite a guy.

Those are the guys that run around in turbans, aren't they?

Listen honey, when they take those turbans off,

they're just like any other man.

Got a light?

Uh.

Looking forward to going to Singapore?

Mm.

I don't really care where I dance

as long as the pay is good.

That's him now.

Hi.

Hi.

I've already been to Singapore.

And you look like it.

Oh dear.

Ah.

Hello, Gary.

Hi, Georgy.

You're looking prettier every day.

How in the world are you doing?

Mike.

Yeah?

Have you told the girls what this is all about?

Sure, Gary.

A tour for a dancing troupe.

First engagement Singapore.

I have 12 of them here to pick from.

OK, Georgia.

Let the girls in.

We don't have much time.

All right if we start now, Mr. Blackwood?

Of course.

Oh, but one at a time, please.

OK.

May.

Smile will you?

How do you do?

That's Mr. Webster, the manager.

And this is May.

She's the finest dancer in town.

What was your last engagement?

With the Coquettes, one year.

Ah, one of the finest.

Hm.

Legs?

Pardon me?

Mr. Webster would like to look at your legs.

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

You're hired.

Please wait outside.

Oh, thank you.

Hm.

May, Coquettes.

And this is Rhonda Hunter.

Dancer?

Not really.

But I pick things up real fast.

Hm.

Thank you.

We're looking for dancers.

But what's that got to do with Singapore?

Come on. Come on, honey.

Don't hold us up.

Babs.

This is Babs.

Her legs are worth their weight in gold.

Can those golden legs also dance?

I was solo dancer in the Apollo variety.

And why did you leave there?

Well the boss really went for her,

but his wife thought otherwise.

All right.

You can work with us, as long as you don't have any affairs.

Mr. Webster doesn't tolerate any fooling around.

I had all the boys I can take.

Come on.

Carolyn.

This little one's from the National Ballet.

Could you dance a little bit for us?

Glad to.

Would you put this one on for me?

Sure.

Let's have a look.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Thank you, Carolyn.

You dance wonderfully, but I'm afraid ballet

is not what we're looking for.

Hm.

Don't be sad, honey.

I tell you what, come in again tomorrow.

Yeah?

Yeah, I've got something else for you.

Oh thanks.

All right.

Here are Gladys and Dorine.

I told you to let them in separately.

These babes been working from the start as a duo number.

And we would very much like to stay together if possible.

On this tour you'll be dancing with other girls.

That doesn't matter as long as we get to go overseas.

All right.

You can both work with us.

Please send the next one in.

Thank you.

See you.

Linda.

Hello there.

Mm.

You're a stripper?

At times.

Didn't I see you work the Sapphire Club last month?

How observant of you.

How come you quit that place?

The boss wanted to.

I didn't.

Oh, are you always so picayunish?

That depends on the boss, Boss.

Shall I dance for you?

It's not necessary.

You're hired.

Wait outside.

OK.

Next girl please.

My name is Nelly Hastings.

A new one.

I haven't seen her work yet, but she's

always been with good troops.

Let's see her dance.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Thank you.

You're hired.

Please wait outside.

So Mr. Blackwood has supplied all the girls we need.

Fine, Georgia.

Go and tell the girls when costume

and dance rehearsals will start.

Will you please?

GEORGIA: All right.

Listen, Gary.

I thought you were the boss, but you

let Georgia select all the girls.

I select all the girls.

You?

But you didn't say a word.

Why should I?

I have a little trick.

When I keep my legs apart like so,

it means I'm not interested.

When I cross them like this, ah, then it's OK.

You always were a crazy guy.

When do things get under way?

Oh, 10 days.

10 days?

Well then, have a good trip.

Thank you.

PILOT (ON RADIO): We are now flying

over the Pacific Ocean near Honolulu.

Altitude is 15,000 feet.

May day.

May day.

May day.

Clipper 247.

Clipper 247.

We are 9,000 feet and losing altitude.

Number two engine burning.

Rough weather.

Attempting emergency landing.

Present position is...

Repeat your position.

Repeat your position.

Damn.

I can't pick them up anymore.

Clipper 247.

[SCREAMING]

No, Mr. Hastings.

I can only repeat.

There's absolutely no reason yet to fear the worst.

Until now we only know that the plane caught fire,

and that we've lost radio contact.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll let you know immediately

as soon as I hear something new.

[PHONE RINGING]

Blackwood Agency.

No, Mr. Roberts.

I don't have any further information.

But of course there's a search party out there.

I tell you, rescuers are looking all over for them.

There's still hope even after four days.

Yes.

I'll call you as soon as I hear something new.

[CRYING]

Will you stop that bawling?

You're driving us all nuts.

Water.

Just one swallow.

No more today.

Tomorrow you'll get another ration.

Gary, give me some water.

Huh.

Who do you think you are?

The fifth night.

We can't hold out much longer.

You're starting that too, Georgia?

A ship has to go by here some time.

Or we've got to at least see some land.

Water.

Please give me water.

Look.

A bird.

Where there are birds, there must be land.

Are you crazy?

Give that to me.

Look there, Gary.

Over there.

Land.

There's land.

Help me paddle.

We've got to make it.

Paddle with your hands.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't stop now.

We'll make it.

It's not far now.

Then we'll be safe.

Oh, I can't go on anymore.

Oh, I'll help you.

Oh.

There you are, Georgia.

Lie down.

Thanks.

I can't go any longer.

Babs.

Kate.

There.

Georgia, darling.

Oh, Gary.

Oh, Gary.

Gary.

Water.

Ah.

Water.

Water!

Water!

Is that Gary?

Come on!

Come on!

Come one!

Water.

How wonderful.

Oh let's go.

Come on girls.

Water.

Oh wonderful.

Come on.

Fresh drinking water.

It's spring.

[CHATTER]

Oh, is anything more wonderful than water?

OK, girls.

That's enough.

Let's go and have a look around.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Georgia.

Ready?

Let's go.

That was good.

Feeling better now?

Shoot.

Don't lag behind.

I'll help you.

Thanks.

Heels are too high for here.

Kate, your scarf.

Oh, keep it.

Coming?

Ow.

Ouch.

Careful girls.

Oh these branches.

Listen.

What a strange silence.

Well let's keep going.

I wonder how much further we're gonna have to go.

Ouch.

My shoe.

Gary!

Look what I just found.

What?

A hammer.

There must be someone on this island.

A hammer with a long handle.

It must be for the purpose of excavating

some sort of metal, most probably uranium.

Can you eat that?

Yeah, you could try it.

Come on.

Let's go and find out.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Look.

A cabin.

[CHATTER]

[SCREAMS]

Let's get out of here.

A dead man in a huge web.

Oh, Gary.

Hey there.

Do you think we should?

I don't know.

Come on.

The poor professor.

When he made the last entry in the diary,

he didn't know how horribly he would die.

Well his discovery of the uranium deposits

didn't help him any, even if it does

represent a tremendous fortune.

We must keep it from the girls that Professor Green

had a premonition of his fate.

You see here in the last paragraph?

He says he thought something terrible was going to happen.

He just felt the danger.

I wonder where that peculiar hissing

came from that he always heard?

Oh, Gary, I'm terribly scared.

I'm so afraid.

Don't worry, Georgia.

As long as I'm around nothing will happen to you.

I promise.

Hi, Georgia.

I'm hungry.

I've made something for you to eat.

Lucky there was some canned goods here.

Mm.

Food.

It must have been a really gigantic spider

to be able to spin such a huge web.

Maybe there are more of them.

[DOOR KNOB TURNING]

[GASPS]

We found the professor's trunk full of stuff.

They'll certainly be useful.

1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

OK.

If we divide the provisions up carefully,

they should last for a month.

What did you say, Georgia?

A month?

Do you really think we'll be here a whole month?

I don't know.

We have to go tomorrow to the highest cliff

and light a smoke signal to try and attract a ship.

10, 11, 12.

Give me that shirt.

No it belongs to me.

After all, I found it.

But my dress is in worse shape than yours.

No.

I want to have it.

Give it to me!

That's mine!

Stop that fighting.

Give me that shirt.

Georgia.

Thanks, Gary.

I suppose we could have guessed that Georgia

would be getting it.

Haven't you ever noticed that Gary pampers her?

What's this?

Where did you get the pull over?

I found it here, if you don't have anything against it.

Ha.

Now stop it, or I'll take care of both of you.

Give me something to drink, Gladys.

Hm.

Take it easy, Gary.

We're all a little nervous.

It's really no wonder.

Don't you think I'd rather be in a bar in Singapore

with a nice cold drink, than to be on this God forsaken place

drinking this horrible stuff?

Buh.

Darn heat.

Look out will you?

And stop making so much noise.

If you don't like it, you can do the dishes.

Or do you think I'm doing this for my own pleasure?

Stop blowing your top and dry up, will you?

I simply can't stand this frightful heat any longer.

How about throwing your dirty blouse some place else?

I want to sleep.

I sure hope you don't lose your lipstick.

You'd hardly be able to get along on this island

without it.

[KNOCKING]

I'm through.

It's about time.

Now I'll shower.

Give it here.

Come on.

Come on, girls.

Let's go to sleep.

I'm going to sleep outside.

Me too.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night, Kate.

Good.

I found the professor's revolver.

Get some sleep, Gary.

I can't.

I think I'll go out for a little walk.

But don't worry.

I'll be back very shortly.

Gary.

Oh, Gary.

Gary.

Damned heat.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

[THUNDER]

[GUN SHOTS]

Those were shots!

I heard them clearly.

Oh, I hope nothing's happened to Gary.

Ah!

Ah!

I'm going.

And if you're not going with me, I'm going alone.

Stay here!

Don't leave us alone.

You won't find Gary.

[SCREAMS]

Oh just leave everything as it is.

We must find Gary.

Babs and Ann, you go in that direction.

Where in the world is Kate?

Here, Georgia.

You two go in that direction.

Kate and May will go along with me.

[CHATTER]

What about me?

You?

You remain here.

And put things in order while we're gone.

Huh.

[WHISTLING]

Hey.

Gary.

Would you quit that whistling?

You're making me nervous.

I'm not afraid when I whistle.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary.

Come on.

We've got to keep looking.

Without me.

I'm staying right here.

[HISSING]

Did you hear anything?

No.

But there's something moving there.

I don't hear anything.

Gary.

Hey Gladys.

Don't leave me alone.

Then hurry up.

Gary.

Gary.

Gary!

Gary!

Gary!

Gary!

[SCREAM]

I heard a scream.

I heard it plainly.

The scream came from there.

Linda!

How awful.

She's been strangled.

The spider.

[CRYING]

Ann.

Ann.

Oh it's horrible.

Oh Georgia, the professor's been killed.

Gary's disappeared, and now we've just buried Linda.

Which one of us is going to be next?

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

Ann.

Ann.

Now stop it, will you?

Stop it, before you drive us all crazy.

Not me.

Not me.

And I tell you they'll never find us.

Never.

But I'm sure the police is moving

heaven and hell to find us, honey.

The police?

The cops I know, if they catch you speeding a little bit

or find you drunk, they send you right out to the cooler.

But you just let somebody get lost,

and they won't lift a finger.

Do you believe that they'll go running around

for a few broads who are lost?

But how were they to know that we've been rescued

and on this little island?

Rescued?

Who's been rescued?

We perhaps?

Show me the island.

Show me.

Where does it lie in the ocean?

Show it to me!

By the time they find us, we'll all be dead.

You, you, and you.

One after the other.

Babs!

Get a hold of yourself.

You're only getting all the girls worked up.

Well, if it isn't Miss Georgia.

Of all people it has to be you.

Who has Gary and Linda on her conscience?

Who?

Babs, do you know what you're saying?

Exactly.

Through your jealousy.

You should never have left Linda alone in the cabin.

Shut up, will you?

What can Georgia do about Linda's death?

Take your hands off me, or I'll break your arm.

Just you try that, baby.

Take that.

Ya!

Uh.

Stop it!

Babs, Milly, stop it!

Babs.

Stay here.

Let them fight.

[SCREAM]

Come!

Come!

Is the ship getting any closer?

I don't know.

Come on.

Throw it on.

Should I get some more?

No.

No that's enough.

That's giving enough smoke.

They must see us.

They can't just leave us here.

Hello!

Hello!

Stop all that screaming, Ann.

You're driving me crazy.

Let me go.

Hello!

Take us with you!

Hello!

We're over here!

Please don't forget us!

Yell with me.

They must hear us.

Hello!

Hello there!

Take us with you!

May, it sailed right by.

It sailed by.

We'll never get home now.

Never again.

28 days.

28 long days and nights.

And nobody even knows we're here.

And today a ship sales right by us.

Our rescue so close.

Ann, May.

Oh Georgia.

A ship.

There.

A ship.

Oh it's gone.

How terrible.

And we only have enough food left for three days.

Ann.

Ann.

Come on back.

Come on, Ann.

Here.

You go ahead and start unloading.

I'll take the oars up.

OK, Bob.

What are you carrying the oars so far away for?

Afraid the mermaids will steal our boat?

Huh.

Don't talk to me about women on this God forsaken island.

Should have taken one along as part of your ration.

I wanted to, but it wasn't approved.

Hey, come on over here and give me a hand, will you?

OK.

I'm coming.

Take it easy.

Easy now.

Boy that junk is heavy.

Bob, you know, I'm sort of glad the professor

picked us out to help him with his work,

even though it's lonely over here.

Give me some whiskey.

If there aren't any chicks, then at least some whisky.

You only think about whisky and women.

You better change, or you'll never get any place.

Get off my back.

I'm sick of your preaching.

Take the professor for example.

That guy's always been lucky.

Well we explore all sorts of islands for six months.

He comes with us once and find the stuff.

And of all places on this miserable island.

Careful now.

Stop grumbling, will you?

Ah, go on.

I'll go look for the professor now.

OK.

Get on out of here, will you?

In the meantime, I'll unload.

And have fun.

Yeah, sure.

[GIGGLING]

[SCREAMS]

Gladys!

Gladys!

Quick girls.

We're in danger.

Make for the beach.

We can't leave her here.

So that all of us will be killed?

Let's go.

Come on.

Look over there.

How terrible.

The web in the cabin.

The gun.

Gary took it with him that night.

And this is his bracelet.

But where is Gary?

Please Georgia, let's go.

I'm so afraid.

Perhaps there are more spiders around.

Come and sit with me.

What do you want from me?

Well, give you three guesses.

I was going to ask you for the time.

Georgia!

Georgia!

Here we are.

Gladys is gone down by the lagoon.

We were swimming when suddenly she was pulled into the reef.

Then she screamed badly.

Who was it?

Didn't you see anyone?

No, it all happened so quickly.

The scream?

And she'd already disappeared.

Maybe the spider killed professor and Linda.

We found a gigantic spider.

Dead.

It was shot with the professor's own revolver.

And Gary's bracelet was laying there beside it.

[FOOT STEPS]

What's that noise?

That's him.

Get back.

Quiet.

Hands up.

Stop or I'll shoot.

Hey, Hey.

Hello, baby.

Hands up.

Anything you wish.

Get going into the cabin.

What a coincidence.

That's where I wanted to go.

I said, get going.

All righty.

I think he's handsome.

He doesn't look so terrible.

They're the really dangerous ones.

Too bad.

OK.

Turn around.

Hm.

Where's Gladys?

What did you do with her?

Let me speak to him.

Where is Gladys?

Gladys?

No idea.

I don't know the young lady, unfortunately.

We just got here down on the lagoon.

You see, Georgia?

Where we were swimming.

And that's where Gladys disappeared.

On the lagoon?

Ah.

[LAUGHING]

Don't laugh.

You'll be sorry about that.

Oh, I don't know.

Just look at what's coming down the path.

Gladys.

[CHATTER]

Who's that?

My friend Bob.

We work together for Professor Green.

Oh, he's a big uranium research man.

I met him before in the reeds.

A researching researcher.

Then you had better luck than I. I was nearly shot.

Hi there.

That is, if the revolver had been loaded.

And you?

You here on a summer vacation?

Hm.

Fine summer vacation.

If we hadn't found this island, we

wouldn't be here to tell the story.

We crashed on our way to Singapore.

Ah, then you're the American dance troupe that got lost.

Yes.

Well, how do you know that?

Well all the newspapers in the world have carried your story.

What?

I bet Professor Green was surprised

when all these girls showed up.

Ha ha.

Professor Green is dead.

What's with the professor?

Dead?

What?

He was hanging in a huge spider web.

That's how we found him.

Linda is dead, and Gary, our manager has also disappeared.

Spider web?

Do you really believe that?

By the way, our ship is coming back in two days.

We must radio information right away, so that they can send

an agent to clear the matter up.

You mean it?

A ship's coming by?

Our expedition ship.

And it will take us with it?

Yeah, of course.

We're rescued.

[CHATTER]

Look, isn't this pretty?

The boys will be surprised, when they see how we've dressed

ourselves up in our island costumes.

And they promised us real whiskey, kids.

I can hardly wait.

Hold this.

Shall I put this in my hair.

You look great just like a real islander.

Well, I am.

Haven't I been here for four weeks?

I can't believe that we'll be back

in New York in a couple of days.

When we tell them at home what has happened to us,

nobody's going to believe us.

Where are Georgia and Ann?

Outside on the veranda.

They're out there with Joe trying

to make radio contact with the expedition ship.

I wonder if a lot of reporters will

be on board when we get there?

Hope so.

What's important for me is that Jimmy's there.

Who is Jimmy?

My friend.

We're going to be married.

What if he's got eyes for another?

You don't believe that yourself.

I'd scratch his eyes out, and he knows it.

Kids!

We made radio contact with the ship,

and we'll be picked up tomorrow.

And tonight we'll dance and really raise the roof.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Tell me, what kind of a girl is Ann?

Usually quiet and one of the nicest.

She's away from home for the first time.

Her folks live in Minnesota.

I've never seen her so relaxed.

I'd like to dance with her.

Mhm.

Come on, Bobby.

I want to be all alone with you.

How about the house?

Not in the house.

Some place where we'll be all alone.

You know what?

We'll meet at the lagoon.

OK.

But so that no one will notice.

Good.

We'll meet in 15 minutes in the trail down to the water.

All set?

Of course.

Uh, but be on time.

I hate waiting.

Thanks.

[WHISTLES]

Having a good time with the chicks?

Shut your mouth.

Falling for her?

Huh.

Thank you.

Tell me, are you always so quiet?

You know, when you've lived on islands for a long time,

you forget how to say nice things to girls.

Well, try it once.

Well, I'm really glad that your airplane crashed.

Well, that's a nice thing to say.

I mean, I mean otherwise I wouldn't have gotten

to know you, and I'm glad about that.

Oh, you say that to everybody.

No, Ann.

I don't know any girls.

And when I think of the ones I do, I'd rather work.

Well I must say, you certainly are

a master at paying complements.

Perhaps you're, perhaps you're right.

I should pay more attention to young women.

Sometimes I envy Bob.

He's so uninhibited and carefree.

Bob?

Any girl is good enough for him.

A real man is interested in only one girl.

Then I'm a, then I'm a real man.

How?

Because I'm really interested only in one girl.

Who's that?

What does she look like?

Cute?

Elegant?

Elegant?

Mm.

On the contrary.

A little bit disheveled and neglected, but uh, very pretty.

Her name's Ann.

Oh, Joe.

That's one of the nicest things that's ever been said to me.

Well I meant it.

I'm really fond of you.

You know, when you leave for New York, here,

so you won't forget me too quickly.

But Joe, please don't let me wait too long.

Come on.

I've got 12 minutes left.

What's in 12 minutes?

My next rendezvous.

Hello, big boy.

Well, I'll be darned.

That's not bad either.

Hey, all right.

You really don't know where to start here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Gladys.

Oh.

What's on your mind, huh?

Nothing.

In love?

Mhm.

And you really think that Bobby's the right man for you?

I don't know.

I only know one thing.

I love him.

I hope he doesn't let you down.

I'd be very sorry for you.

Hello, Daddy-o.

How about throwing those lamps on somebody else for a change?

Yeah, baby.

Like you swing too.

Come on, Gladys.

It's not worth it.

Don't bother me.

Hey, Georgia.

Get me a drink too.

All right.

Thanks.

Bobby.

Yeah?

Do you have to turn all the girls' heads?

Who me?

They turn mine.

Hm.

Hi, Georgia.

Hi.

That dance sure made me thirsty.

Georgia, aren't you at all excited about going home soon?

Mhm.

OK. Let's drink to that.

Yeah.

Well, here's to the trip.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Do you think people are still talking about us?

Of course, now all the more since we found you.

Will the papers print our story?

Oh baby, will the paper print your story?

The magazines will carry your pictures.

And what do you think radio and TV will do with you?

You'll be amazed at the reception

you get back in New York.

Maybe they'll drive us down Broadway with confetti and all.

Hm.

In any case, you'll become a world famous truth.

And who knows?

Maybe you'll wind up in Hollywood.

Oh Bobby, I might make it yet.

Thank goodness I still have a few minutes left.

Because my next rendezvous is very important.

And this time who's the lucky one?

If you won't tell anyone, Gladys.

Bobby, Gladys is a fine girl.

Up until now she's been shy of men.

Please, leave her alone.

Exactly.

I've always yearned for a girl like this.

And I've never found one.

Why am I telling you all this anyway?

Oh, Joe.

I'm so happy.

Well that's what I expected.

Same old story.

You're nice to a man, and before you know it,

he's getting fresh.

Ann, I must tell you something right away.

Come on.

Hey, Ann.

Let her run.

They're all good for nothing.

They're all the same.

Come on.

Let's have a drink.

Well Gladys, it's just as I told you earlier.

Well don't you see that Bob is just the kind of man who wants

nothing else then to play around with women

without a single serious thought in his head.

You're right.

I don't want to see him again.

Good.

Look, Bob.

You can keep those remarks about Ann to yourself.

Get it?

Don't tell me are you're serious, fella.

You haven't fallen for that little broad by any chance.

Well good luck then.

And what if I were?

Then I'd feel sorry for you.

What are dancers?

Hot goods for cold nights?

Or you think your Ann is different?

For a guy like you the worst girl in the world is too good.

No.

Not here.

Come on.

[LAUGHING]

I got to run.

I got a date.

OK.

Hello, Gladys.

Oh leave me alone, you.

What's the matter with you, kid?

Have you gone crazy?

You ask me that?

No man in this world, even if he belonged to your best friend,

would be safe with you around.

Are you talking about Bobby?

Who.

Else?

But you can keep him.

I'm through with him.

I've got news for you.

Bobby just made it clear to me that you're the kind of girl

that he's been looking for.

Do you mean that Babs?

If it weren't true do you think I'd leave him?

Babs!

Go to him.

He's waiting for you.

Bobby.

[GASPS]

[SCREAMS]

That was a, a scream.

[SCREAM]

It sounded like Gladys.

And Bobby's also gone.

I'll look for them.

You get dressed and follow me.

[GUN CLICKING]

You go up ahead and try to help Gladys.

I'll go back and get the ammunition.

Quick!

[SCREAM]

Bob.

Bobby.

Joe!

Georgia.

Where's the ammunition?

I don't know.

Maybe there.

Quick, or we'll all get it.

I found Bob, dead.

Was he strangled?

Where are the bullets?

It's too late.

He's here.

Gary!

Uh!

Uh!

All right.

Come on.

Come on.

We must surround him.

Two of you take that path over there.

Two go through the bushes.

The rest of you, come with me.

Nobody should go alone.

Always go in pairs.

Come on.

Come on.

He's over there.

Come.

There he is.

Maybe we've lost him.

Stop!

The quick sand starts here.

Oh, Joe.

He's sinking.

Ah!

Better dead than continue living.
