[instrumental music]

We've got plenty of time.

- Well, we made it, sir. - Yes, thanks.

We're very grateful.

- I'll have to get some change. - You can keep the change.

- On one condition. - Anything but murder, mister.

- If anybody asks for us-- - You've never seen us.

- And you never brought us here. - Is that clear?

That's not only clear, it's the truth, so help me.

Good.

[instrumental music]

- There it is. - Our plane, huh?

In a few minutes, we'll be out of all this mess.

Oh, it's wonderful.

(male #1) 'Ms. Peggy Nolan?'

I beg your pardon, are you Ms. Nolan?

- No. - Sorry.

Ms. Nolan?

Ms. Peggy Nolan?

Ms. Peggy Nolan?

That's my name.

Package for you, Ms. Nolan.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

Violets, madam. Gardenias, ten cents.

Perhaps you can sell these.

Orchids. Thank you very much.

(man on PA) 'Next plane'

'flight number nine, the Silver Queen.'

'Los Angeles to Panama'

'via Tepic, Mexico, leaving..'

[whirring]

I do hope they haven't misplaced our luggage.

Uh, Martha, dear, I'm sure the young man knows his business

quite well enough to take care of everything.

[scoffs] He didn't look to me as if he had

a brain in his head.

- Straighten your tie, Henry. - Oh, thank you, dear.

- Thank you. - Hello, Joe.

A note from the superintendent.

Thanks, Ray.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

- Traveling with us? - Mm-hmm.

Yes, we are.

[car honking]

[instrumental music]

Watch your step, Tommy.

Now, Tommy, I want you to be a good boy

and mind your Uncle Pete just as you would me.

Why do I have to go away and leave you?

Oh, I'll be with you in a day or two.

Then we'll get a boat and go fishing

and swimming and everything.

How would you like that? I'll join you in about a week.

Listen, Mike, why don't you chuck everything

and come with us? You've squared all your beefs.

Nobody can lay a finger on you.

I'm thinking of him.

Okay, I'll see you in Panama City.

See you later, Tommy.

I'll see you later. Don't be long.

I won't.

Get going.

Say goodbye to your pop.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, son.

(Tommy) 'See you soon, daddy.'

That's the two we had trouble with?

Yes, sir, six and seven cylinders.

Take a look at this, Bill.

[instrumental music]

Young man, how many minutes before we start?

We'll be held up about a quarter of an hour.

Orders from the department of labor.

Department of labor indeed.

You'll have to find a better reason than that.

- We're taking on an anarchist. - Anarchist?

Yes, murdered some war minister down south.

- Murderer? - They think he's crazy.

But don't worry, folks. He'll be in custody the entire trip.

He may not be as crazy as they think.

The government of my country deeply regrets

the trouble to which you've been put.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

Will you kindly sign right there, please?

You too, Crimp.

Senor.

Well, there are your deportation papers.

Once again, many thanks.

Here are your tickets and expense money.

You'll get the reward when you deliver him

'to the proper authorities.'

All this is very useless, gentlemen.

I can promise you, you will never deliver me

to the proper authorities.

With 5000 bucks waiting for me when I hand you over?

I'll get you there if I have to take you in a little box.

(male #2) 'Are you positive you don't want us'

to send one of our officers along with Crimp?

I am certain Senor Crimp will deliver him safely.

If you please, gentlemen, don't move.

[dramatic music]

You haven't a chance, Vasquez.

'This is the seventh floor and between here and the street'

'there are at least 50 officers.'

'All armed.'

Hanging is such an unpleasant death.

Besides, a hanged man always dies alone.

I much prefer dying in the company

of decent citizens like you.

Always provided I'm the last to die.

So don't try to stop me.

Behind you, Vasquez.

Drop that gun.

[dramatic music]

Your warning might have cost Murphy his life.

What's the matter with you, Crimp?

I said I'd deliver him alive and I will.

Nobody's gonna do me out of my reward.

They are holding the plane for you now.

Come on, you.

[instrumental music]

That's him.

[music continues]

- Have you got a match? - No.

[instrumental music]

Thank you, miss.

Looks like we're taking the same plane, sister.

I don't talk to cops.

They been bothering you much lately?

Your papers are in order.

The steward will show you to your seats.

- Thank you. - That's alright.

The steward will show you to your seat too.

Ready to go, miss?

[instrumental music]

[whirring]

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Altitude, 3000 feet.

Visibility good.

Ceiling unlimited.

Give me weather at Tepic.

W-X-2-Z to W-N-W-O, come in.

W-X-2-Z back to W-N-W-O.

Okay, thanks.

W-X-2-Z off.

Tepic's all clear.

Swell.

What are you going to do when we lay over in Panama City?

Sleep.

I'm figuring on a round of gaiety.

With the passenger in seat five?

Right.

That's her boss with her, isn't it?

Sure, young Alice.

She says his old man owns half of South America.

Rubber and tin.

He might not like the idea of you

chiseling in on his secretary.

They're mighty friendly.

I suppose if you had a secretary

you'd give her a slap in the teeth.

I saw them holding hands.

Well, maybe he's got business worries.

Yeah, maybe.

I think I'll go aft... and have a sandwich.

- Hiya, skipper. - Good evening.

Aren't you going to get any sleep?

Later on maybe.

I just wanna be sure my friend here

doesn't try to go for a walk.

[Vasquez laughs]

At this altitude?

You might wanna get it over in a hurry

and you're worth 5000 bucks to me.

Yes, Mr. Crimp.

I'm very expensive merchandise.

And I warn you.

You'd better not relax

your vigilance for one minute.

- I'll stay awake all night. - Good.

Alright, now, Tommy, let's go to sleep.

Well, we have to say our prayers first.

What do you mean, we?

Don't you say your prayers every night?

Well, sure, sure, I do.

Shall we say your prayers or mine?

Well...I'm kinda sick of my prayers.

Let's try yours.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

"Now I lay me down to sleep."

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

"I pray the Lord my soul to keep."

If I should die before I wake..

"If I should die before I wake.."

...I pray the Lord my soul will take.

"...I pray the Lord my soul to take."

Please take good care of my daddy.

It's personal right here.

You don't have to say it if you don't want to.

Oh, sure, sure, I get it.

Please take good care of my daddy

and help us to get back together again.

Soon as you think you can.

Thank you. Amen.

Okay, Tommy, now can we get some shut eye?

Goodnight, Pete.

Goodnight, kid.

[whirring]

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Nice night.

Yeah.

We land at Tepic in the morning, don't we?

That's what the timetable says.

I thought perhaps you'd like a cigarette.

No smoking allowed in here.

You don't talk much, do you?

Lady, we hit some bumpy air over the mountains.

You might feel it less if you go to bed.

Go to sleep.

I get it.

Well, goodnight.

[buzzing]

Oh, why don't they go to sleep?

[buzzing]

I'll take the call for you, Larry.

Oh, don't bother, Mr. Brooks.

No bother at all.

Oh, I get it. Number five's that good-looking gal.

You wanna borrow my steward's coat?

[buzzing]

[knocking]

Steward.

Oh, it's you.

Is there something I can do?

Well, the ventilator's stuck.

But I called for the steward.

Oh, well, I'm pinch-hitting for him.

I suppose he's flying the ship for you.

Uh, seems to be jammed.

You know, we, uh, stop off

at Tepic, Mexico, in the morning.

They told me that when I bought my ticket.

I'm pretty familiar with the town.

You seem to specialize in getting familiar.

Sure. It's fun.

You ought to try it sometime.

Maybe we'll leave the ventilator until morning.

Oh, no, no. You might catch cold.

Look, I have an idea. Now, lie back.

Oh, but I don't see how that'll help.

Please.

Oh. What now?

- Are you warm enough? - Oh, yes, thank you.

Are you sure? It's a bad draft.

Oh, yes, quite sure.

Well, then...goodnight.

Goodnight.

[intense music]

[whirring]

[instrumental music]

[speaking in Spanish]

- Look at that.. - Yes, look at it.

Oh, Martha, at last I can get a bowl of real Mexican chili.

Chili for breakfast? You'll have milk toast as usual.

Oh, but, Martha, we're on vacation.

Remember what the doctor said.

- Very well, dear. - You'll do as I say.

(Henry) 'Alright.'

Ah, Senor Joe!

- Buenos dias, senor. - Pedro, how are you?

I'm glad to see you. Excuse me a minute.

[engine revving]

Oh, hello there.

- Good morning. - I trust you slept well.

Like a log.

I hope you weren't bothered by any drafts

last night, Ms. Melhorne.

- Drafts? - Oh.

Our pilots are so considerate, Judson.

A policy of the company, ma'am.

Can we get a good breakfast here?

I was just going to suggest it.

I don't think I care for anything.

Mexican food's too hot for me.

Oh, but this isn't Mexican. It's Chinese.

The chef's a very good friend of mine.

Then we should get some good service, eh?

This your first trip to South America?

Yes, uh...you see, uh..

- Very urgent business. - That's right.

Some very urgent business.

Mr. Ellis, if I had a good-looking secretary

like Ms. Melhorne here..

...I'd have trouble keeping my mind on just business

even though it were urgent.

You know, I always make it a rule

never to mix business with, uh..

...romance.

Well, then this is strictly a business trip?

What did you think it was?

Now, Alice, don't embarrass Mr. Brooks.

- Hello, Mr. Joe. - Hello there.

I give something good for breakfast this morning?

This is Ching, the best Chinese cook

this side of San Francisco.

You'd better let me order for you.

Fine.

Thank you.

Winning?

- Nope. - You won't, either.

Why?

'Cause that's one racket you can't win at.

How do you know?

I used to know the man who makes them.

Then you should know how to beat them.

I do. Don't play 'em.

[clangs]

You speak Spanish.

Could you order breakfast for me?

Yes, I could.

The waiter here is Chinese and he speaks English.

I've got a lot to do. We're taking off in a few minutes.

Hey, Pedro, what are those?

For the oil company in Panama City.

- Air express. - They must need 'em in a hurry.

I could have a lot of fun with the express charges.

- Ha ha, me too. - Put 'em on board.

Listen, when your old man finds out

you ain't drinking any milk, what's he gonna say?

I don't want it.

Oh, now you go ahead and drink your milk like a good boy.

I'm taking care of this kid.

If I need any help, I'll ask for it, see?

Sorry.

You go ahead and drink your milk anyway.

Don't drink it so fast.

You'll get indigestion.

[cat meowing]

(Tommy) 'Look, it's a kitty.'

[cat meowing]

Look, Mr. Crimp.

A black cat.

An ill omen.

You're not gonna have the best of luck.

But this cat crossed in front of both of us, my friend.

[bell ringing]

- Time to go. - Yep.

Oh, no, this is on me.

Oh, no, really, you shouldn't do that.

It's quite alright. Thanks very much, Juan.

Here, keep the change.

- Thank you. - Not at all.

It was my pleasure. Thank you.

Uh, excuse me.

- Aren't you Judson Ellis? - Uh, yes.

Well, I'm the American pressman from Tampico.

You're Ms. Melhorne, ain't ya?

We don't have anything to say. Come on, Judson.

Oh, Ellis. There's no need denying anything.

We got a wire from New York that you were on this plane.

Yeah, your old man talked plenty.

Practically busted a blood vessel

doin' it. Yours too.

You may quote us the same. We have nothing to say.

Well, all we wanna know is why you're eloping.

The newspapers are full of it anyway

but we want to get your side of the story.

Yeah, we'd like to give you a break, you know?

Please leave us alone. What we do is our own affair.

It's no use, Alice. We've got to talk sometime.

If I make a statement, will you promise

to print exactly what I say?

- You bet we will. - Sure thing.

Alright...the reason we're

being married is because we're in love.

The reason our parents object is because they don't think

we have sense enough to know our own minds.

That's the truth. That's the whole story.

No mystery, no scandal, no nothing.

But where are you going to be married?

Panama City. Tomorrow.

Say, would you mind standin' there for a picture, please?

Uh...get out of there, will you, boy?

I wanna make this romantic, huh.

Thank you.

So she's his secretary.

So what?

I bought their breakfast for them.

Come on, boy.

[instrumental music]

What do they say?

We keep on going.

Weather at Panama is zero, zero.

He thinks we're about in the middle of it.

Can we get above it?

I'll try...but I think

it's the same clear to the moon.

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

Will you leave that radio alone?

It's going away from our station so fast

I have to keep retuning it all the time

or we won't get anything.

It's too bad we're not a little further south, Mr. Ellis.

I could point out the most interesting territory.

The home of the Jivaros. A tribe of headhunters.

Oh, I've heard a great deal about them, professor.

When they kill an enemy, they cut off his head

as a trophy of war.

Exactly. I must write a book about the Jivaros sometime.

After obtaining the head of an enemy..

...they slit the skin from crown to nape of neck..

...and remove the skull.

'Then they fill the empty skin with hot sand'

or gravel and sew it up.

I believe I told you, my dear, that has the effect

of shrinking the head to the size of a large orange.

Will you please be quiet?

- And in several days-- - I asked you to be quiet!

You're a very unusual fellow, Mr. Crimp.

Are you a simple maniac depressive

or a schizophrenic?

Your nerves are going back on you, Mr. Crimp.

[instrumental music]

[whirring]

[thunder rumbling]

I'd rather have a drink.

You'd be better without it, sir.

Will we be out of this soon?

Oh, yes, miss, these tropical storms

go faster than they come. May I lower your berth?

[instrumental music]

- Sandwiches? - No, thanks.

Doesn't seem to bother him any.

Nah, he's like a baby.

[instrumental music]

Lawrence..

...tell the driver to be very careful.

Yes, ma'am.

(man on radio) 'We interrupt this program'

'to bring you a special bulletin'

'from American Press.'

'The end of a notorious career was reached'

'in the gutter outside the Winslow Hotel'

'in San Francisco today'

'when Michael Mulvaney was shot to death.'

'Mulvaney, one-time big-shot mob leader'

'was riddled by a dozen bullets when he attempted'

'to shoot his way out of a trap set for him by members of his..'

Shut that thing off!

(man on radio) '...who resented his attempt..'

Was someone talking about my daddy?

Ah, you was hearing things, kid.

When am I going back to see my daddy?

It's hard to say, Tommy.

[Tommy sobbing]

Let me take him.

He needs a woman.

- He needs a lady. - I wanna go home.

[Tommy sobbing]

Shall I hold him? Come, honey.

You mustn't cry.

I used to have a little boy.

[singing lullaby indistinctly]

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbling]

Can't raise Tepic or Panama anymore. Too much static.

Well, we'll try the beam. Take over.

Right.

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbling]

We've lost that too. Keep trying the range.

- Want some hot coffee? - No.

How are the passengers?

Not bad, but that detective fellow's

getting liquored up pretty fast.

Watch him. If he turns mean, call me.

Yes, sir.

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbling]

Here comes the wind.

Any idea where we are?

We're a long way south of where we ought to be.

This wind is probably driving us inland.

[rattling]

Left engine. I may have to set her down.

Turn out the cabin lights and drop a flare.

Right.

What's the matter with the lights?

What happened?

Everybody fasten their safety belts, please.

Over there, it'll set fire to the plane.

That's only the exhaust. There's no danger from that.

This thing's worse than a roller coaster.

Why don't they turn around and go back?

That's what I say.

Why should we risk our lives just so

the pilot can get a good record?

Mr. Crimp, I'm sure the pilots

know much more about it than we do.

Oh, you think so, do you?

Well, I know what I'm doing too.

I'm gonna turn this ship around.

[intense music]

What do you want?

You fellows may be after

a record, but I'm not.

Turn this ship around. Go back.

Go back and sit down.

(Larry) 'Mr. Crimp, please go back to your seat.'

You keep out of this.

It's alright, Larry. We'll handle him.

[whirring]

- Mrs. Spengler. - Yes?

You must be tired. Let me take the baby for a while?

Thank you, Ms. Melhorne.

[dramatic music]

[thudding]

- Oh, be careful, Martha! - Oh!

Hold on! Hold on!

[dramatic music]

[Larry screams]

[Martha screams]

[dramatic music]

Go back, I tell you!

Shut up! Can't you see I have my hands full?

[thunder rumbling]

I said go back.

You too! Can't you hear me?

[gunshot]

[dramatic music]

Stay where you are, Joe. Drop another flare.

Right.

Left motor's dead. I'll have to set her down.

Hold tight, everyone! I'm going to set her down!

(Judson) 'Give me a belt, give me a belt.'

(Bill) 'Fasten your belts!'

[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbling]

I've got you. Hang on to that kid.

[dramatic music]

I'm prepared to take a risk, Joe. Here we go.

[dramatic music]

Brace yourself, Joe. Here we go.

[thudding]

[thunder rumbling]

(Joe) 'Anybody hurt?'

- 'How's Tommy?' - 'Okay.'

- Pick him up, Joe. - 'You alright, Judson?'

Wrenched my arm, I think.

- You alright, Mr. Spengler? - Yes, I'm alright.

- And-and you, dear? - 'I'm not hurt.'

The steward's gone.

What are we going to do now?

There's nothing to do but wait for daylight.

Make yourselves as comfortable as you can.

[clicks]

[instrumental music]

[monkeys chattering]

[music continues]

We can't be far off the coast. Hike it in a day or so.

Do you know how far we are off our course, really?

Well, no, not exactly.

Well, it's easy to calculate.

We know how fast we went and for how long.

- Simple arithmetic. - Simple arithmetic, eh?

You know, I suppose, how fast the wind was blowing

and the degree of curve the ship took inland, huh?

Oh, we'll allow for that.

Young man, you haven't

the faintest idea where we are.

- Alright, you tell us then. - Oh.

Probably on the east side of the Andes.

Somewhere near the headwaters of the Amazon.

How do you know that?

Well, I'm a professor of botany amongst other things.

And I recognize several kinds of vegetation

that only grow in that locality.

We're in a valley between the two ranges of mountains..

...and you won't get out unless you fly out.

Honestly, what chance is there to repair?

Well, we smashed the right oil tank when we set her down.

We've gotta work on the motors and jack up the plane.

That will probably take two, maybe three weeks.

What about the radio?

We can receive, but we can't send

without another tube and we haven't got one.

We have food for a week, maybe two if we diet.

Well, what do you say about getting breakfast, eh?

Not a bad idea.

[instrumental music]

The last radio message from Brooks was received

four hours after they left Tepic.

According to the speed reporters, he must be down

somewhere in this area.

All our available planes are searching the route.

We have one squadron of

reconnaissance ships in the air now.

There will be two more by this afternoon.

Thank you very much, commander.

The coast guard is also cooperating.

We're borrowing additional planes

for you men from the Mexican government.

You'll all take a transport plane to Acapulco

where the ships are waiting.

Concentrate your search to the north.

It's not likely that they crossed the mountains

into the valleys near the Amazon.

That's all, gentlemen. Thank you.

This will do it.

They ought to be able to see it if they fly anywhere near here.

We'll keep the fire going all night too.

- Pardon me. - Hey, pilot.

You might have chosen a less forsaken spot.

I'm sure that this place is just crawling with insects.

Personally, I think it's very pleasant.

[scoffs]

No accounting for tastes.

Madam, you might think it was pleasant too

if you were being taken home to be hanged.

Hey, pilot. You can't do all that work on an empty stomach.

Thanks.

What are our chances for getting out of here?

Pretty slim.

I guess we're lucky to be alive, huh?

Yep.

Thanks to you.

Don't thank me, lady..

...and don't blame anyone.

Larry's dead and we're cracked up

and...things happen and nobody can stop 'em.

Yeah, I guess they do.

You know, you're the first woman I ever met who..

...who could make a good cup of coffee.

Thanks, but the professor made it.

You should have turned around like I wanted to.

But we're here, and we've got a tough job ahead of us.

- That's to stay alive. - He's right.

There'll be work for us all. Everybody's got to help.

Mrs. Spengler, you'll be in charge

of the cooking department.

I'll be nothing of the sort. I'm not a servant.

Did you hear what he said, Martha? You're the cook.

Don't you use that tone to me, Henry.

You were a very good cook when we married.

Now let's see if you've forgotten.

- 'But--' - Don't argue. Cook.

Better take off the left cowling, Joe.

We'll need enough wood to last all night.

Alice, take the axe. We can use our hands, Crimp.

(Crimp) I'm a passenger. I don't have to work.

(Bill) Well, that's alright with me

but those who don't work, don't eat.

Casey, take everything out of the plane we can use.

- Give him a hand, Vasquez. - Very well.

Stay where you are, you.

What's the idea?

He's my prisoner. He takes orders from me.

You oughta take orders from us. We paid our fares.

Somebody's gotta boss things if we're gonna

try to get out of here.

Any other objections to my taking charge?

Certainly not.

The pilot of a wrecked plane has as much authority

as the captain of a wrecked ship.

I think that's the law.

Yeah, maybe it is, but how's he going to enforce it?

Excuse me, gentlemen, but I think the officer in charge

ought to have an emblem of authority.

Thanks.

You want my rod too?

No, you better keep it. You might need it.

Now don't make us waste any bullets on you.

We might need 'em for food.

Alright.

[laughs]

Come on, Tommy. It's time to go to bed.

You sure know how to handle kids.

Oh, yes. I love them.

I guess yours is grown up by now, huh?

Mine, oh..

My little boy died when he was just that age.

- Oh, that's tough. - Yeah.

(Bill) Come on if you want a listen!

We've got the cabin radio working..

...trying to get a news broadcast.

- Coming right over, pilot. - Hope they're looking for us.

They better be.

It's almost time for the 10 o'clock news broadcast

from San Francisco.

Maybe we'll find out what's happened to us.

Well, go ahead and tune it in.

No. We're waiting for the exact time.

Gotta save our batteries.

Okay, Joe.

[static on radio]

(man on radio) 'Giants nicked two Dodger pitchers'

'for six hits and two runs'

'but were retired by a fast double play'

'before they could cut down the Dodger lead.'

This is the first time in my life that I don't care

whether the Giants win or lose.

(man on radio) 'And from San Diego comes tragic news.'

'That Commander Wilson of the Naval Air Base has recalled'

'two of the squadrons of reconnaissance planes'

'which have been searching for the lost airliner Silver Queen'

'which vanished in a tropical storm'

'with 12 people on board.'

'However, in the belief that the Silver Queen'

'was far off her course, one squadron of naval planes'

'and several private planes'

'chartered by the airline will continue the search'

'which has been switched to the west coast of Panama.'

'Little hope, however, is held that any trace'

'of the missing airliner and its cargo'

'of 12 human lives will ever be found'

'as the country over which the plane was driven'

'by the violent storm is dense and inaccessible jungle.'

(Bill) 'Okay, Joe. Shut her off.'

[instrumental music]

A moose.

He's got our scent.

- Let's get nearer. - No, no.

I'll get him from here.

[gunshot]

Ah, you missed him.

There must be something the matter with this rod.

No, you hit him! He's down.

Oh, boy! Now we won't have to be vegetarians anymore.

[instrumental music]

- Do you mean it? - Yeah.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You move too fast.

I've seen guys lose a hand for less.

[Henry chuckles]

I'll play you again, double or nothing.

Well, I..

(Martha) 'Henry!'

I better go. It's past my bedtime.

- Turning in, Mr. Spengler? - Yes. Goodnight, boys.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

I always thought professors were dumb

but that guy would surprise you. He tied me in a knot.

I never was any good at games anyway.

Well, you're certainly handy with that rod of yours.

Yeah. That was the best steak I ever ate.

I don't want to blow my own horn, but in some circles

I'm considered very handy with a heater.

Thanks for letting me keep it, though.

I'm so used to it... I've even got a shoulder holster

in one of my nightshirts.

I had a reason for letting you keep it, Pete.

Somebody has to stand guard here nights.

Look, you know, there might be animals around.

Well, I'm a guardsman of the old school.

- Shall I start now? - No. You better go to bed.

I ain't sleepy. You go to bed.

You got a lot of work to do on that plane tomorrow.

Joe will relieve me at 2 o'clock.

- You better turn in. - Okay.

- If you need me, holler. - Yeah.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

[Bill grunts]

He's a pretty good guy.

Yeah, they've all been pretty good.

Except Crimp.

I only hope they keep on feeling the way they do.

That airliner's certainly a mess.

Well, we can fix that in time.

You know, Joe, this is gonna be a very fine place

to try to make a takeoff from.

You think we can straighten that prop?

We can try. What else can we do?

I'll tell you what you can do.

In fact, I've got a suggestion that will

temporarily at least solve the whole problem.

A solution I've tried before and it's never failed.

You're drunk.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Don't you wish you were? You could be, you know.

In fact, I've got a whole suitcase

full of liquor back there.

I always provide against the minor inconveniences

of modern travel. It's one of the secrets of my great success.

Don't you think you better go to bed?

No.

Why don't you act your age, Ellis?

Alright, big shot.

But I might as well go on the record for saying that I think

you're carrying this guardianship of yours too far.

You're the boss now, but if ever we get out of this

I'm liable to buy up that whole airline

and then I'll be the boss, see?

Go to bed.

Ordering everybody around.

Stand up. Sit down.

Do this and do that.

Who do they think they are anyhow?

Hey, pipe down, you.

What's the matter with you? You want a drink?

No. Go to bed.

I would, if I could see.

Why don't they have some sort of light in here anyhow?

Here. Let me help you.

Thanks.

- You needn't bother. - Oh, that's alright.

- I've handled drunks before. - No doubt.

I want you to know that Alice and I are going to be married.

Oh, relax.

[instrumental music]

Can I have another one of those?

Oh, yeah, sure.

- Take a drag. - Thanks.

What's the matter? Can't you sleep?

[huffs] Mr. Ellis is kind of noisy.

Oh, he's drunk.

I better go quiet him down.

Well, you can't blame him much.

He's trying to be a good guy

but he's scared to death.

Aren't you?

Well, I'd feel a little better

if we were out of this jam here.

I've been in trouble before, but nothing like this.

Yeah? What kind?

Men.

Oh.

You didn't think I was going to Panama

to see the sights, did you?

Well, it's mighty pretty scenery down there.

You don't care much for women, do you?

Oh, yeah, sure. They're alright.

Never found one that really hurt, though. Is that it?

- Yeah, I did once. - Who?

My wife.

Run out on you?

No.

No, we got married right after the war, and..

...there weren't any jobs then, so I bought an old Jenny and..

...and took to barnstorming.

I used to fly the plane. She was a wing walker.

We played carnivals and fairs, you know, that stuff.

One time down in Indiana, she didn't feel so good.

I told her not to go up, but she just laughed at me.

So...we went up.

She crawled out on the wing and fainted.

We cracked up.

I lived.

Funny, you know, things happen and nobody can stop 'em.

You better get some shut-eye.

[instrumental music]

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

Put it down there.

Why don't you guys get wise to yourself?

That thing will never fly again.

Maybe you've got a better idea for getting out of here.

You bet I have. We should have started to walk weeks ago.

Sure, and we'd still be walking

just as far from civilization as we are now.

The only way we'll get out of here is to fly.

Fly.

You know what I think of you two?

You're a couple of fools.

Cut it out, Joe.

That's right, Joe.

Mind the boss.

Be a good little boy.

- Let me help you, eh? - No, thanks. I'm alright.

Why do you take your whiskers off, Uncle Pete?

You want me to look like a gorilla?

Well, no.

[water sloshing]

Mrs. Spengler..

...do you happen to have a pin?

"See a pin and pick it up, all the day you have good luck."

- Thank you. - The fisherman, eh?

Your wife is very kind to me.

Oh, I'm tempted to be jealous of you, Vasquez.

We get fried bananas quite frequently

since Mrs. Spengler learned you were fond of 'em.

Perhaps she's only sorry for me.

Not at all, Mr. Vasquez.

The moment that plane takes the air

all of you will begin to live again. As for me--

You mustn't allow yourself to think of that.

Oh, we're getting to know one another pretty well now.

I feel I can speak freely to you, Vasquez.

If you had it all over again..

...would you do what you did?

I don't know.

My experiences here have made me think.

Now, look at this camp.

There are no classes here.

We have chosen a leader in whom we all have supreme confidence

and whom we respect completely.

We have plenty to eat.

The best.

We are well-sheltered. We are in good health.

By all theories, ours is an ideal community.

And yet, everyone here except myself

is living for the day when all this will come to an end.

That is how tightly modern living has become

wrapped up in nonessentials.

Personally, I should be happy to spend all my life here.

So you see..

...even in the jungle, I'm antisocial.

I doubt that.

You see, this experience has changed most of us.

Bill is more human.

Alice has grown stronger.

Ellis has grown a, a little weaker.

Our friend Pete developed a paternal affection

for little Tommy.

And you, Vasquez

I think it's changed you more than anyone.

Possibly.

Although it seems to me I have noticed

some change in you people too.

Quite right. Quite a change.

One I'm sure will make you very happy.

Thank you for the pin, Mrs. Spengler.

- You know, Henry.. - Mm-hmm?

I'm afraid you'll think I'm a little crazy, but..

...in a way, I'm glad the plane crashed.

I think I am too.

We've rediscovered each other, haven't we?

Mm-hmm.

- What are you doing in there? - I'm getting myself a drink.

Well, why didn't you ask for one?

- 'Cause I wouldn't get it. - Give me that.

[thwacks]

[grunts]

Give me that. Give me that--

Why don't you mind your own business?

[thwacks]

What's going on here?

Oh. This, huh?

I caught him stealing from my bag.

I don't want any more drinking going on here, understand?

Oh, you don't, eh? Well, we'll see about that.

I'm getting tired of being bossed around by you.

You know, Judson, I'd hate to have to hit you.

Now, you do what I tell you.

[sloshing]

[coughs]

(Judson) Wasn't my fault.

Martha, we'll get back

to our laundry.

You see, he stole my liquor.

That's tough.

Alice.

Jud...you've got to pull yourself together.

Oh, so you're against me too, eh?

Oh, no, I'm not, Jud. It's just--

Yes, you are.

Everybody in this whole outfit's

acting like a Pollyanna, including you.

We might as well face the..

Well, we might as well face the facts.

Well, aren't you gonna say anything?

I was thinking of what you just said.

We might as well face the facts.

[instrumental music]

Alice?

[music continues]

He's going to be alright.

He's just a little mixed-up, that's all.

Yeah. I suppose so.

You know...any man might go a bit haywire

in a situation like this.

Bill didn't. Professor Spengler didn't.

Neither did Vasquez..

...or you.

He hasn't been any help, has he?

Has he?

[instrumental music]

Crimp? Hey, Crimp?

- Find any trace of him, Joe? - No.

I've been a mile upstream.

He's been gone about seven hours.

- No signs of him, eh? - Nope.

Wouldn't it be unfortunate

if something has happened to him?

Oh, the man's a fool.

He's probably sulking around here someplace.

He'll be back.

Yes, if nothing has happened to him.

I suppose you're gonna start blabbering about Indians again

the way you did on the plane.

Is there Indians around here?

Sure, there are. Ask your Uncle Henry.

Very bad Indians too. They get you and cut your head off.

Judson, for heaven sakes, be quiet.

Listen you...if you're trying to scare this kid

I'm gonna poke you in the jaw.

(Martha) Henry, you don't really think there's any danger?

No, my dear, no, no. Of course not.

We're-we're-we're too far north.

Why all the fuss just because a man's

been away a few hours?

- He'd better be back soon. - Why?

(Bill) Because with any luck at all

we'll be out of here by tomorrow.

That means I get to see my daddy.

Yeah, sure.

I'll be so happy to see him.

It's time for you to go to bed, kid.

May I take him, Pete?

Yeah, you go on with your Aunt Peggy.

Come on.

So we're getting out of here, huh?

Yeah, looks like it.

Back to our normal living, huh?

To you, Mr. Ellis, it will mean marriage and happiness.

I think I'll turn in.

Alice, I want to talk to you.

- Let's talk tomorrow. - No. Now.

I don't care what those fellows say.

They'll never get that thing in the air again.

Well, we'll know tomorrow for sure.

Do you realize that we might be stuck here from now on?

Do you know what that means?

Yes, but...if we are we'll just have

to make the best of it, that's all.

Exactly.

If we do get out of here, we can be married right away.

But supposing we don't get out of here?

You better leave... before I call someone.

[thwacks]

Alright.

[drumbeats]

You better go to bed too.

We're getting out of here tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

You know, she's alright.

Well, she is.

Come on, boy.

- Bill? - Yes, sir?

I don't want to be an alarmist, but I think

you ought to keep special watch tonight.

Why?

I'm pretty confident I heard

the sound of drums.

- Where? - Over there.

At intervals.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but..

Whether you were or not, we'd better keep it to ourselves.

- Hmm. - And double the watch.

[instrumental music]

[airplane propeller whirring]

[whirring continues]

[whirring]

[whirring]

[all cheering]

Alright, Joe! Kill it!

Great work, Bill! Great work.

Well, now we've got to finish clearing a runway.

Yeah, that'll be a big job.

I wish we had a lawn mower.

Well, if we work hard, we ought to finish by tonight.

What are you gonna do about Crimp?

Well, he ought to have been here this morning, unless..

Oh, let's not worry about him now. He'll be back.

Come on, boys.

[instrumental music]

[monkey chattering]

Come on, little monkey.

Won't you have something to eat?

[music continues]

[monkey chattering]

Please don't be afraid of me.

I won't hurt you.

Here, junior.

Hey, junior.

[creaking]

[thud]

Water boy?

Water boy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

- Has anybody seen him? - Ain't he around?

Maybe he went to sleep somewhere.

What if he's run off in that jungle and gotten lost?

- I'm gonna look for him. - Better take your gun, Pete.

I got it.

- I'm gonna look too. - Careful, Peggy.

- 'Tommy!' - 'Tommy?'

(Pete) 'Tommy!'

Here's the water pan.

He must be somewhere on the other side.

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

- Here I am. - Oh.

Darling.

I oughta wham the daylights out of you

scaring everybody to death.

I found Mr. Crimp.

- Where? - Over there.

Don't make any noise. He's asleep.

Show me.

[Peggy gasps]

Take him.

[intense music]

Oh, Pete.

We better get back to camp right away.

You take the kid back. I'll stay here.

- Oh, Pete, no! - Go on. Do like I say.

I can take care of myself. Run!

[dramatic music]

Give her a hand.

I should think this is about

as light as we can get it.

Every ounce counts.

We've got to climb fast if we're gonna clear those trees.

Here we are.

Here comes Peggy. She's got Tommy with her.

[instrumental music]

Tommy. Thank heaven you're safe.

- Is he alright? - He's alright.

- Where's Pete? - He stayed back there.

- Back where? - Where we found Crimp.

Crimp's dead. He's been killed.

We'd better get out of here before we're all killed.

We're not going to leave without Pete.

Here he comes.

[dramatic music]

- Uncle Pete! Uncle Pete. - Tommy, go in.

[dramatic music]

[splashing]

Poison dart.

We better get him on the plane.

(Pete) No.

You guys better get goin'.

- Is Tommy alright? - Yes. He's safe.

Tell him, his old man, I'm taking care of..

He's gone.

[drumbeats]

Everybody, on the plane. Quick.

We can't leave him here like this.

The lighter we are, the better chance

we have of taking off. Go on. Move.

Come on, Peggy.

Go on, Vasquez. We can't spare any more time.

[drumbeats]

Everybody, on the plane, fast!

[indistinct shouting]

[whirring]

[whirring]

I hope she'll lift.

They've gotta be racing

when we try it.

Well, here we go.

[whirring]

There goes an oil line.

[whirring]

(Peggy) What happened?

Oil line on the left engine let go.

- Can you fix it? - Well, I can try.

I hope we have enough time.

[drumbeats]

Listen.

- They're going to attack us. - No.

As long as the drums sound, we're alright.

It's when they stop drumming they'll attack.

Come on, Joe.

[drumbeats]

[drumbeats]

[crickets chirping]

[drumbeats continue]

How much longer?

We're nearly ready.

They've got to know, Joe.

[drumbeats]

Folks, I've got bad news for you.

I can fix the engine so it'll get us in the air.

But it won't last long.

We've got that mountain range to go over

and one engine can't make it with a full load.

How many will it take?

Four of us and the kid.

I know these planes. I've tested them at the factory.

I know exactly what they'll do.

So that means five of us get out and..

...the rest stay.

There's need for only one pilot.

- That's Bill. - Wait a minute.

You're as good a pilot as I am.

- I'll stay. - I'll stay too.

I'm pretty fed up with things outside.

I don't care much what happens.

Now, look here, if you two want to play hero

that's alright with me, but--

There's one rule we can use.

Women and children first.

I think the women have as much right

to a choice as the men.

- We could draw lots. - 'No.'

Chance is too tricky.

The wrong people might win.

We've got to be logical.

[drumbeats]

Excuse me.

- I think this is necessary. - I don't think so.

It hasn't been decided yet whether you go or stay.

Oh, yes, it has. I stay.

Now, some of you want to live, others deserve to.

But the question cannot be decided emotionally.

It's got to be decided by cold, hard logic.

And since I am to have my neck cut

by one kind of savage or stretched by another

I have nothing to gain either way.

I am the only one you can depend on

to decide things logically.

Stay where you are, Mr. Ellis.

'I'm the law now.'

[drumbeats continue]

Legally, the question ought to be decided by Bill..

...or Joe.

But I for one am quite content

to let the matter lie with Mr. Vasquez.

Thank you, professor. Don't you see?

You've all formed attachments, friendships.

I'm the only one who hasn't.

I wish you all well.

So whether you like it or not

I'm gonna choose for you.

Alright, Vasquez, make your decision.

But make it quick.

We'll be ready to take off in a few minutes.

Come on, Joe.

[drumbeats]

[drumbeats stop]

The drums have stopped.

That means they may attack soon.

Well, what about it? Who gets to go?

I have to think it over until the plane

is ready to fly, Mr. Ellis.

- Henry? - Mm-hmm?

The same moon was shining when we got married.

[chuckles] It was much larger then.

It was 35 years younger.

[instrumental music]

- Martha? - Mm-hmm?

Vasquez must not choose us.

I know, dear.

I know.

I'm grateful to you, Martha.

For our life together.

Thank you, Henry.

[music continues]

I'll go and speak to Vasquez.

Vasquez..

...my wife and I have grown to like you.

I can't allow that to influence my decision, professor.

Oh, yes, you can.

Mrs. Spengler and I have only a short time left..

...at the best.

The others have a life before them.

Leave us behind.

I ask it as a favor.

If there were more men like you, professor

there would be fewer men like me.

Thank you.

[music continues]

Joe.

Sometimes people find out their mistakes too late, but..

Suppose things turn out that one of us goes back

and one of us has to stay here?

I think I know what you mean.

'Cause I've wanted to say the same thing.

(Bill) 'Alright, Joe. Let's turn 'em over.'

[music continues]

Vasquez, I want to talk to you.

I am very rich, you know.

If, if you and I were to go back

on that plane together..

...I'd, I'd hire the...finest lawyer

in the world for you.

Thank you.

I'll think it over, Mr. Ellis.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

How's the kid?

Asleep.

Never thought I'd be the motherly type.

Chances are you'll be going back with him.

If you stay, I want to stay too.

If Vasquez says you're to go, you'll go.

I've got some dough saved up.

Enough to give you and the kid a start.

I'll give you a note to the airport

they'll let you have the money.

- 'Alright, Bill.' - Okay. Hit the throttle.

Clear the prop.

[dramatic music]

[whirring]

(Bill) 'Give me more gas!'

[whirring]

[whirring]

[whirring continues]

[whirring]

Alright. We're ready.

(Bill) Come on, Vasquez. Let's have it.

First, I pick Bill. I think he's the one to fly the ship.

- Now, wait a minute, I don't-- - What he says goes.

Right. Tommy is second, of course.

Third, Alice, fourth, Joe Brooks--

- What? - Please let me finish.

Fifth, Ms. Peggy.

Well, what's the matter with me?

You're not worth saving, Mr. Ellis!

Mr. and Mrs. Spengler are remaining at their own request.

And as for me, there was certainly

no bravery involved in my decision!

Now, you better get going!

You haven't much time.

I'm not gonna leave Mr. and Mrs. Spengler.

- Me neither. - Oh, yes, you are.

- Martha and I-- - My choice goes!

Get them on the plane.

Get them in the plane!

[whirring continues]

[grunts]

[gunshot]

It's alright. It's not serious.

(Vasquez) 'Get him in the plane.'

Hurry up, there!

Hurry up, all of you! In the plane!

- Go on, quickly. - Come on, give me a hand.

[whirring continues]

[whirring continues]

[whirring continues]

[instrumental music]

It's like having children of our own, isn't it?

It is.

Five young people.

All going back.

[chuckles]

Well...I'll go and fix the fire.

[instrumental music]

If we're taken alive..

...it means torture.

[music continues]

Three shots left.

When she's not looking.

[dramatic music]

Can I lend you a hand, Martha?

Henry...you old darling.

[intense music]

[gunshots]

[rustling]

[rustling]

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]
