  Speaker 4: forcibly to old and young alike that crime does not pay.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: A spell of fair weather may fool you into thinking
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: that winter is through for this year. But don't you
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: believe it. There is still cold weather ahead of us.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: So play safe and make sure you have a good
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: supply of blue coal on hand. It's especially wise to
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: make sure.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: You get blue coal, because blue coal is particularly prepared
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: for home heating.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: There are many different qualities of coal, as you know.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: But when you order blue coal, you can be sure
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: of getting the finest quality coal for your money. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: that means real comfort plus economy. So get in touch
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: with your neighborhood blue coal dealer tomorrow. Order your blue
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: coal right away. The shadow, mysterious character who aids the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: forces of law and order, is in reality Lamont Cranston,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: wealthy young man about town. Several years ago in the Orient,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret. The secret of
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot see.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: only person who knows to whom the voice of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: invisible shadow belongs. Today's drama, Author of Death.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And I can see that travel folder now, Lamont. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: want peace and quiet. Come to beautiful San Luis, the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: island paradise.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Do those tom-toms bother.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You, Margo?
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Well, they do funny things to my spine.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Well, probably some native festival. Shall we go back to
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the hotel?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: No. Somehow I feel safer out here on the veranda.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You know, interesting thing about those islands.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: No matter how much modern civilization appears in the cities,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: back in the bush... Back in the jungle, the native
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: reverts to tight.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, if you think you're making me feel any better,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you're wrong. I thought we came to Port St. Louis
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for a rest.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Might as well try to get a rest in the
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: subway station.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Hold it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Hold it. Where in the place is.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: All of you?
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Hold it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Who's that?
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: One of the guests.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The sea's coming up on the veranda.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Where's that supplier? Tell me.
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: Oh, Mr.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Eustace.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Eh?
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: Who called me? Who's there?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Lamont Cranston, Mr. Eustace.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes. Couldn't see you very well in this half-light. Hello,
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: Miss Lane.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Hello, Mr.
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: Eustace.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: You look rather worried.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: I am a bit. I say, look here, have you
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: seen that native proprietor around anywhere, Clemson?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Only? Well, no, I haven't. Not since dinner.
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: I don't quite understand all this. There's something mighty strange
• 4:23
  Speaker 11: going on.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: I knew it, Lamont.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: The ceremonial was never listed on the travel folder.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: You're quite right, Miss Lane. The village is deserted.
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: Not a soul on the streets and every shop is
• 4:33
  Speaker 11: boarded up tight. It's going to be trouble.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: I'd like to know about it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, we all would.
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: I spoke to one old man who was crouching behind
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: the door of his hut, and all I could get
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: out of him was one native word that he kept
• 4:44
  Speaker 11: repeating over and over.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: What was it, Houston?
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: It sounded something like gilmet.
• 4:49
  Speaker 12: Gilmet?
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: It is a.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Rare word in Port St.
• 4:51
  Speaker 13: Luc, Miss Lane.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: Well, there you are.
• 4:55
  Speaker 14: The word gilmet, my friend, is not a word to
• 4:57
  Speaker 14: be spoken lightly.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: No?
• 4:59
  Speaker 10: No.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Well, what does it mean, only?
• 5:01
  Speaker 14: It is a native expression, Mr. Cranston, which means the
• 5:05
  Speaker 14: knight that eats men.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: The knight that eats men?
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: Is that why the natives are hiding behind locked doors?
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: It started, Mr.
• 5:14
  Speaker 14: Eustace, some ten years ago with the disappearance of a
• 5:18
  Speaker 14: Scots explorer and his wife named Macbeth. They vanished from
• 5:23
  Speaker 14: this island and were never seen again. That was ten
• 5:27
  Speaker 14: years ago, this very night.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But these Macbeths could have just gone away of their
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: own accord, couldn't they?
• 5:33
  Speaker 14: They could have, yes. But on the same night, Miss Lane,
• 5:37
  Speaker 14: every year for ten years past, two people, a man
• 5:41
  Speaker 14: and a woman, have disappeared without a trace from Port St.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: Louis.
• 5:46
  Speaker 14: That is why the natives call it Ismatin.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: The night that eats men.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, ridiculous night of superstition.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It does sound fantastic on it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: And decidedly unpleasant.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Look. Look.
• 5:58
  Speaker 14: The great and terrible Coulombo is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Calling for the yearly sacrifice.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: What?
• 6:05
  Speaker 11: He means that volcanic island off the shore there to
• 6:08
  Speaker 11: the east of San Luis.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Why, smoke seems to be rising from its crater.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: But that volcano is extinct. Is the island inhabited?
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: By the spirits. The evil spirits.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: The rulers of darkness. Oh, now, look here only.
• 6:25
  Speaker 11: I can understand these poor ignorant lighters in the village
• 6:28
  Speaker 11: going overboard on this superstitious business.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: But you've had the advantage of an education.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Surely you can't believe all this nonsense.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: In your land you have few superstitions.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: But here on San Luis it is different.
• 6:42
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I have seen.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 6:46
  Speaker 11: I do know it's too cramped in that you can't
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: get a native to go within three miles of that island.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It is death to set foot on it. What was that?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: What did you say, honey?
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Lamont is terrified.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, forgive me. Now, look, honey, look. If you're in
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: trouble or danger, you... Forgive me, please.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: Well, we'll be waiting outside here for you, honey.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Waiting outside. Oh, I know you are here somewhere. You
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: have come for me. I am ready to die.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: You, there in the window.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Come, come.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: I am ready.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Only expression is like... Mark. Death, Mr.
• 7:43
  Speaker 13: Eustace.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, no, Lamont.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: Who?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Who killed him? A native, I'd say.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: See this tiny poisoned dart stuck in his throat?
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That did the job.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: I only seemed to know this was coming.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Listen.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Weird flute music again. Came from somewhere outside. Can you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: see anything from that window, Margo?
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Lamont, there's a figure running down to the beach.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Where?
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: See?
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Look, there in the moonlight.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: He's getting into a canoe.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: We've got to stop him.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Come on. Out this door here.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: There he goes. He seems to be pulling away from
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: shore rapidly.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Can you recognize him?
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: I'm afraid the moon isn't bright enough for that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 12: Wait.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Whoever it is, he'll go around the island and land
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: somewhere on the opposite shore.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Why do you say that, Miss Lane?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Well, there isn't another body of land anywhere around here
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that he could escape to except.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: Except that volcanic island, Colomo.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: That's where he seems to be headed. You, sir... Where
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: can I get a boat?
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: Vermont.
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: You're not going to follow us there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: In spite of the legend that no one has ever
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: returned from that island?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, Margo. How about it, Eustace?
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: The boat.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: I have a slow but sturdy fishing launch, Cranston. You
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: may have it on one condition.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: To let me come along.
• 8:53
  Speaker 13: Glad to have you, Eustace.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: I suppose you realize that this isn't going to be
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: exactly a pleasure trip.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: I understand.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Well, then, what are we waiting for?
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: You too, Marco.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Well, you didn't think I was going to stay here
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: on San Luis alone, did you? Come on, let's go.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Can you see him, Eustace?
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, I did. I must try him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Wish I thought to bring a gun with me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: I have one on the boat, Cranston. It's off to
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: the leather side for repair. The plane can reach it
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: for you.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Here it is, Lamont.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: Use it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: He'll never get any more speed out of this boat.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: He's pulling away from the water.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: I don't know why I don't know. I think he
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: wasn't really fast.
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: I'll take that. There's an armor water just up ahead there.
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: It's thick with submerged reefs and rocks. It's a favorite
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: underground in the sharks that infest these waters. Even the
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: native fishermen avoid it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Do we have to go through that, Lamont? That man
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: in the canoe's going around.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: We've got to, Margot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: We're going to head him off.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: He'll be tempted straight if we try.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: It's our one chance to overtake him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: I tell you, I think Slim would have said so.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: What do you say, Margo? Shall we go after him
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: or turn back?
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: I know what your choice is, Lamont. And it's mine, too.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I knew you'd say that. You game, you sis?
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Not so. But it's a good thing I'm a bachelor.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I'm going to risk a shot before he gets too
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: far out of range.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Don't miss.
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: He might be a nasty customer with those poison dogs.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Well, here goes. Oh, not so good.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: What's happened to old dead-eyed Dick, Lamont?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Margo. Well, I won't miss this time.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: Good attention. Better conserve our ammunition. What's left in the
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: gun is all I have.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, and we don't know what we're liable to run
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: into on that island.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Hold on!
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Hold on! There.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: There. Still in one piece, Eustace?
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: I don't know. The old launch went up too fast,
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: but he's fairly sturdy.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, Lamont, I could swear I saw a big chart
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: just licking his chops a moment ago.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Take it easy, Eustace. We'll pick our way through this
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: stretch of water. We've gained enough to afford it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 11:00
  Speaker 12: Lamont, look!
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Those fires on the shore of the island.
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: I see it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: Well, they seem to be moving.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Your fires are natives holding torches, Michael.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Yes, and some of the evenings are coming out from
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: the island shore in canoes.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Well, a reception committee.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: For the Netflix. It's the fire ceremony. The desktop.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: So, the hunters become the prey.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Well, let's turn back quickly, Lamont.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Those canoes are filled with savages.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: You know what that means. I guess you're right, Eustace.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Back it is.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, and let's see if we can't get a little
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: more seed out of this lawn.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: I shall.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Use it. They're coming at us fast.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Can't get any more out of this slowdown. Try them. Uh-oh.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Well, Eustace, we couldn't have picked a better time for
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: the motor to go dead.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Dead?
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: It's hot and appropriate word at the moment.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: And the native's only about 50 yards away from that
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: prey of yours, Lamont.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Well, we still have a gun. I'll take.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: No, no, don't shoot at the Creston.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: You haven't enough bullets to do any good. With those
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: blowguns and poison dark, we wouldn't have a chance.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I guess you're right, Eustace.
• 12:03
  Speaker 15: Lamont.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: Yes, Margo.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Any ideas?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Not a glimmer.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we've been in tight places before.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, but this one is a prize winner. Looks like
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: we're in for it, Margo.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Here they come.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: In just a moment, we'll continue with Act Two of
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Altar of Death. First, here's something that concerns your health,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: your comfort, and your pocketbook.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: All three. What is it?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: It's simply the advice to heat your home with blue coal.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: You see, blue coal is tailor-made for your home. That
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: is to say, it's carefully sized and graded to fit
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the special requirements of your furnace. That's why it gives
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: you even, comfortable, dependable warmth throughout the house in every room.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: That's why it's also such a money saver. It burns
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: so efficiently that you enjoy real economy with blue coal. When,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: on top of all this, your home is equipped with
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: the new blue coal automatic heat regulator, then you certainly
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: have a modern home heating combination that's mighty hard to beat.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: The blue coal heat regulator is easily and quickly installed.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Quickly removed, too, in case you move. And it's easy
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: to operate. You'll be amazed to discover the thousands of steps, yes,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: literally thousands, this regulator will save you in the course
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: of a season. Ask your neighborhood blue coal dealer to
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: tell you all about it. He's listed under the words
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: blue coal in the yellow section of your classified phone directory. Now,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: back to the shadow.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: They're the most savage crew I've ever seen.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: A native in the lead boat wants to talk, Lamont.
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: Huh?
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: You no fight!
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: What did he say?
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: He was asking us to surrender without fighting. They evidently
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: mean to take us alive.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: They could kill us in a minute if they wanted to.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: We still have a chance, is that right?
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: If Eustace is right, Lamont, we still have a chance.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: You! You no fight!
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Okay. We won't fight. At least temporarily.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: I take you to deep! Katomo!
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Katomo!
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Katomo!
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: Katomo!
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: That's the largest hut in the village.
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: Must be the chief.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Well, I hope he likes it. Where's Mr.
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: Houston?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: He was right behind us a moment ago.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: He was hauled off in another direction, Margo.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Come on, you don't think that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: No, no, no.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: Let's not cross bridges before we come to the house.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: This is the chief's house.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: Go in.
• 14:48
  Speaker 13: Push in the back.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: It's only a formal invitation.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I bring prisoners.
• 14:55
  Speaker 15: Bill.
• 14:56
  Speaker 13: Good evening.
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: I've been expecting you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: But you're not.
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: Surprised to see a white man here, huh?
• 15:01
  Speaker 13: But he's turning up everywhere, I suppose. We'll introduce ourselves later. Meanwhile,
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: I imagine you're rather hungry after your little ocean voyage.
• 15:10
  Speaker 13: We'll fix that immediately.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Aluba!
• 15:13
  Speaker 13: Give up, give up, man.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Now, look, girl, we want.
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: No trouble, no trouble at all. Aluba, call to Congo.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: Yes, you are, sir.
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: I've told them to dig your friend into the village
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: to bring food.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Why have you done all this?
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 15:26
  Speaker 16: My subjects think we are man and wife. That is
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: why your friend has been separated from me. You'll find
• 15:32
  Speaker 16: the cruelty of very peculiar people with many strange customs.
• 15:36
  Speaker 16: Their idolaters, all of them, worship a thing called Mulhava.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Mulhava?
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: Then.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Aye.
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: A rather savage deity that the native feel requires human sacrifice.
• 15:48
  Speaker 13: Be split up, Mulhava.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I don't know. We're going to like it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: Ah, the lady needs no fear.
• 15:53
  Speaker 16: I'm on the very best of terms with the cruises.
• 15:56
  Speaker 16: As a matter of fact, I shall go on ahead
• 15:58
  Speaker 16: now and have the natives prepare for you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You're very kind.
• 16:01
  Speaker 16: I'm happy to oblige.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Lamont.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, Margo?
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Did you see the initials on the silver belt buckle
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: he was wearing?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't notice.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: They were capital M-A-C, capital B.
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: Capital M-A-C, capital B?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yes. Didn't Oney tell us that the first two people
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to vanish from Port St.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Louis Where are Mr. McBaird and his wife?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, Margo.
• 16:28
  Speaker 13: I'm afraid he's dead.
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: Well, you don't seem to mind our little adventure, Mr.
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: Eustace.
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: Yes, I noticed that too, Margo.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: Well, we slide Mr. Cranston to supper. Our absent hostess
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: giving us is enough to bring a dead man back down.
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: You're very great, Mr.
• 16:50
  Speaker 17: Eustace.
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: Now, as you were saying while I was gone, Mr.
• 16:55
  Speaker 17: Grant, this man, Oney, I believe his name was, told
• 16:59
  Speaker 17: you of two people who disappeared from Fort St.
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: Louis every year on this night.
• 17:03
  Speaker 12: And shortly after telling you this, he was found murdered.
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: Why do you put that in the form of a question?
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: It's evident that you've been listening to every word we've said.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Aye, Mr.
• 17:13
  Speaker 15: Grant, please.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: A bad habit of mine.
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: Very bad.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Oney also mentioned a man named Macbeth.
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: I see.
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: Are you quite familiar?
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: Oh, I am, thank you. And now, if you could
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: let us have some fuel for our boat.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: You must accept my hospitality and see the night. Or
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: at least part of the night. The natives are well
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: prepared for you.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I use this gong to summon my servants.
• 17:40
  Speaker 15: The natives are coming for the feast.
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: Oh, thank you, my dear.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: This is my wife.
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: The natives took rather a fancy to her and made
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: her a priestess.
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: We are both devout worshippers, as a matter of fact.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: What's going on here?
• 17:53
  Speaker 17: Your friend only told you about the man and woman
• 17:55
  Speaker 17: who disappear every year from Port Saint-Louis.
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: Did he name us a constant?
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 17:59
  Speaker 12: It is my pleasure to inform you, sir, that you
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: and Miss Lane are the two who disappear this.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: What?
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: Aye, aye, mister.
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: The native and the canoe rather lured you on, I believe.
• 18:11
  Speaker 17: He was the witch doctor of the cruelty tribe that
• 18:13
  Speaker 17: went to Port San Luis to murder Oney because poor Oney.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: He knew too much. I see. You were behind that, too.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: Aye.
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: He'd fallen away from the tribal laws.
• 18:24
  Speaker 17: As for you, you see, a man and a woman
• 18:26
  Speaker 17: must be killed in.
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: Moor Harbor's honor on this night.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: You met.
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: as it is called on Port St.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Louis.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: What is your part in all this, Macbeth?
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: For ten years, I have engineered the disappearances of a
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: man and a woman for the purpose of the Mulhover sacrifice.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: But why? Why?
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: This volcanic island is some of the richest diamond territory.
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: In the world, Miss Lane.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: Aye.
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: I'm paid for my trouble in diamonds, which are worth
• 18:50
  Speaker 17: more to me than to the savages since I can
• 18:52
  Speaker 17: reach the American and European markets.
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: You see, it's a perfect system.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: White Harbor!
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Not quite so perfect as it seems, though, you know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: No? No.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Because you've overlooked the fact that I have Mr. Eustace Revolver.
• 19:07
  Speaker 15: Oh.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Now, you take it to our boat and see that we.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes, President.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: I forgot to tell you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: What, Eustace?
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: The gun is only loaded with blanks. You see, I've
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: never given it to you if it were actually loaded.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: You're in on this, too? Of course, Mr.
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: Eustace.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: I happen to be Mr. McBaird's contact with his market abroad.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: It was an excellent deception, don't you think? Your coming
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: here was planned very carefully.
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: Oh, the market.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, Margot. I will speak to them, my dear.
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: Agato!
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Agato!
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: Agato!
• 19:40
  Speaker 15: Agato!
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: I have just told my subjects to.
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: Take you to the temple of the altar of death
• 19:53
  Speaker 18: on the rim of the volcano. There, after due ceremony,
• 19:56
  Speaker 18: you will be cast into its bottomless pit in flames
• 19:59
  Speaker 18: as a sacrifice to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: Our idol, Mulhava.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, McSpad.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: It's not going to be as easy as that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Hurry, hurry.
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: Come on, look out.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: MacMillan, your native has killed us. I could not deprive
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: my people of their innocent little fun. No, I am
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: saving your boat for the fire.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Any luck, Lamont?
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: Afraid not, Marlowe. This temple's gun seems to be hewn
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: out of lava formation.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Will they come for us soon?
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: Yes, ma'am, Marlowe. I don't know how they run these things.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, Lamont.
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: I don't know, Margot. We mustn't let that lunatic McBaird
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: enjoy himself over our fear.
• 20:47
  Speaker 15: Oh, you're right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Is this it, Lamont?
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: Looks like it, Margot. I don't see how we can
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: possibly get out of here. There must be doors.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Have they come?
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: A little sliding panel. There's a face peering in, Margot.
• 21:04
  Speaker 15: It was I, Mrs.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: McBaird. Mrs.
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: McBaird? I.
• 21:09
  Speaker 15: I want to help you, as I've tried to help
• 21:12
  Speaker 15: all the other poor souls who've fallen into my husband's power.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 21:16
  Speaker 15: Oh, I hate him. He's evil.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: You hate him?
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Will you help us escape?
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: Oh, no.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:23
  Speaker 15: I want to, but they'd kill me if I did that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 15: All I can do is to tell you the weak
• 21:29
  Speaker 15: snake in my husband's armor. For what you can make
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: out of it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Yes, Mrs.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Macbeth.
• 21:34
  Speaker 15: The natives fear him. They think he's going to harvest
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: his table. They've fallen their knees before him. They even
• 21:40
  Speaker 15: made me serve as priestess to keep up the pretense.
• 21:44
  Speaker 15: But if they ever do discover that he uses them
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: and their God for his own selfish.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Ends, they turn on him.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I understand you, Mrs.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: Macbeth.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: And I think I see a chance.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, Lamont?
• 21:54
  Speaker 13: Margot, perhaps the shadow can find a way out. Mrs.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: McBaird, there's nothing I can do unless you open that door.
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, they'd kill me.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: You must, I tell you. If at all, they'll have
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: a chance.
• 22:04
  Speaker 15: If I open it, I warn you I'm armed. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 15: if you attempt to escape, I'll have to kill you
• 22:09
  Speaker 15: in case you can.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I agree to those terms, Mrs.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: McBaird.
• 22:12
  Speaker 15: Very well. Just a moment.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: I'd better make a break for it, Margo. I'll be
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: looking out for you.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Margo.
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: Did you see anything?
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 15: Nothing.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: You're nervous.
• 22:23
  Speaker 15: Mr.
• 22:24
  Speaker 17: Cairnson.
• 22:25
  Speaker 15: Mr.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: Cairnson.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Where is he?
• 22:27
  Speaker 15: He's gone, Mrs.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: McFarland.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, no.
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: I'll be keen for this.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: I'll be keen. They're coming.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: They're coming.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I'll help you, Mrs. McFarland. I'll do my best to
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: help you. Here comes my husband.
• 22:41
  Speaker 12: Here, Miss Lane.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: McFarland. Where is he?
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: Ah, Maria. This is some.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: Of your gentle work.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, she couldn't help it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: He escaped.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: She couldn't have stopped him.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: What is it, McBear?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Branson is gone.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Gone? We're done for. The Nazis won't take just a woman. No,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: they will not.
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: They insist on a man, too. I think we can
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: work out of that emergency.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Don't you, Eustace?
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Off you make, Macbeth.
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: We have Miss Lane, have we not?
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Professional man.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: You forget me.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: We have you, Potter.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: A joke, you see. You wouldn't do a thing like that. Oh, Jim,
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: he's been too much.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, the nature is more.
• 23:17
  Speaker 12: Mulhover!
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: Coro!
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: Don't go!
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: No, Macbeth!
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Don't play! Take that man!
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Take him!
• 23:22
  Speaker 18: He and Miss Lane will make up our sacrifice to
• 23:24
  Speaker 18: the mighty Mulhover!
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: No!
• 23:34
  Speaker 17: Oh, Mooraba, we bring this man and woman before your
• 23:38
  Speaker 17: awful presence.
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: Send us good fortune.
• 23:41
  Speaker 17: And plentiful food and the shining stones buried in the earth.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Apply the torch to the man! Now! Now! He is
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: sold to Bullhava! And cast him into the crater of Columbo!
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: A flaming tantrify! Now, Macbeth! Now, at mercy! At mercy!
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: Bullhava, go!
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: Now, Macbeth!
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: Bullhava! Receive this offering!
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: Now, the woman!
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: The woman!
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Light the human torch! Go to Columbo! Help me!
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: Help me!
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Drum that brand!
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Drop it, I say! Bring it on!
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: I heard the voice.
• 24:16
  Speaker 13: So, Macbeth, you would set yourself up as a king.
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: That's coming from the angel.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Your evil reign is at an end, Macbeth.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Bagato, Mulhava speaks.
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: You, priest of Mulhava, you understand me.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Let there be no more human sacrifices. No more sacrifices.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Release that woman and set her free. Free the man
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: who came to the island with her.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: And send them both from Colombo in safety. Yes, Mulhava.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: We do as you say. We obey, Mulhava.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: Alamo!
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: Mulhava has spoken.
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: No!
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: No, you will not do as he says.
• 24:50
  Speaker 17: If those who get back to Port San Luis alive,
• 24:52
  Speaker 17: they'll come for me and take me away.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: Mulhava has spoken. We obey.
• 24:56
  Speaker 15: Alamo!
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: You do as I say. I'm ruler here. Don't hear
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: this man.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Send the prisoners back to Port San Luis.
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Unless there never be a human sacrifice in Columo again.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: We hear. We do the will of Mulhava.
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: You listen to me, ignorant, savage dog. There's no such
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: thing as Mulhava.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: That's just a lump of painted clay. I'm Mulhava. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: built that fool idol. It's me you'll obey. Do you
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: hear me? You will not obey him. You will do
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: as I have said.
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: Yes, we obey you.
• 25:25
  Speaker 18: I'll show you that the idol's made of clay.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: I'll show you who's more powerful. Watch this.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: There.
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: There it's cracked and.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Broken, your idol, Mulhava.
• 25:35
  Speaker 18: I guess that'll quiet your almighty highness.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Well, do not stand there staring at me.
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: You break, Mulhava. You die.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: Wait a minute.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: No, wait a minute.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: It was only a joke. A joke.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'll build you another idol.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Another one. They don't come no closer to me now.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: You die.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Back.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: Get back, I say.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: You die.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: I got a gun here. Stop or I'll shoot. Stop.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: And as they say in the travelogue pictures, there, fading.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Into the setting sun, we take our last look.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: At the beautiful and... Terrible. And terrible island of Fort St.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Louis and Columo.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: And it was pretty terrible, Lamont. I'll never believe another
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: travel folder. Peace and quiet, huh?
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Well, you can believe them from now on, Margo.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: The government is going to civilize and.
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: Educate those natives.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: As for Macbeth, well.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: I can't help thinking that he does a sort of
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: poetic justice.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: What do you mean?
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: His own death came in the form of a sacrifice
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: to the clay idol that he had created as a
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: weapon to hold over the heads of the natives. The
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: god he created destroyed him.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: In just a moment, we'll bring you a special feature
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: of America at War. But first, we present John Barclay,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Blue Coal's.
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: Home heating expert.
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Barclay.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon, friends. At this
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: time of year with rapidly changing temperatures, it's very important
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: to know how to bank your fire properly to ensure
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: the utmost comfort. Now, there's no magic about banking your fire,
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: but there is a right way and a wrong way
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: of doing it. For example, many people still cling to
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: the old-fashioned practice of banking the fire with ashes.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Of course, this is wrong.
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: It only smothers the fire, and it often causes clinkers.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: On the other hand, if you bank the fire correctly,
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: you'll not only save fuel, but you'll get quick heat
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: in the morning as soon as you open the draft. Now,
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: if by any chance you're not quite sure of the
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: right method of banking the fire, or if you have
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: any other questions on the operation of your furnace.
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: Take my advice.
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: Call your neighborhood blue coal dealer and tell him your troubles.
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: He'll be only too glad to send his John Barkley
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: serviceman to help you. This man is a graduate of
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: our training school. He'll show you how to bank the
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: fire properly. And he can give you many other hints
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: on how to run your furnace so you'll get more
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: and better heat and save fuel besides.
