Oh Venture, Adventure, intrigue, mystery, romance, stirring Humphrey Boguards and
Lauren bacall together in the sultry setting of practical Havanna and the mysterious Islands of
the Caribbean. Oh Venture. Once again, the magic names of Humphrey Bogard
and Lauren MacCall bring you full venture and a tale of mystery. A good
breed. Your name's Slat Shannon. That's right, and there's a mister val
I'm very happy. Then I'm happy too. Hello. My name is Cameron.
I have a plantation outside of Santo Sugar Sugar for the time being.
Just called me, sailor. What can we do for you? Missus Cameron.
I've never come to a man and thanked before in my life. I
don't even come to the wrong man. You don't have to beg anything for
me. It's about a girl, a young girl, wild, impetuous and
spoiled. No thanks, mister Shannon already has one, sailor. Why don't
you go and put a new point in a desk pen? Where am I
going to get a new point? Post office is closed. It's about my
daughter. It's about Kathy, Kathy and the Blue Moon. Oh yes,
there's a gambling ship in the bay called the Blue Moon. Look, if
you're a man in trouble, I'll listen to you. If all you want
to do is have someone to spank your daughter for gambling, get your tell
somebody else, because nobody else can do what I want you to do.
You haven't told Slate yet what it is. Maybe he wants you win if
I make my own decisions. Sailor, go ahead, Miss Cameron. Kathy's
involved with a man named Norton. Oh yes, I've heard of him.
He owns the Full Moon. How did your daughter get mixed up with a
guy like that? I don't know. All I know is that since she's
met him, she's well, she's chained. He's a stranger to me.
She's on that boat all the time. I have an easy solution. Why
don't you just tell mister Norton to buy your daughter from the boat. I've
tried that. He laughed in my face. He told me all of them,
And Sailor, there's a guy over there. There's a garcind to take
care of him. Although I had Selah, I'll remember every word, Miss
Cameron says, and tell you later. All right, Cameron, Well,
Norton knows something about Kathy. I don't I know my daughter. It's more
than just a lust for gambling. Please will you help me? Shannon?
Go there, talk to Kathy, convince her that she she need never go
back to that ship again. Please please, I'll give you anything with your
wallet back. Your daughter's in trouble with Norton. No, I'll try to
straighten her out. You don't understand, Shannon, I'm a rich man.
When I bring Kathie back, you'll give me a box of rump sugar.
You're not too loud, Paul. You just say about Boss. Tell Greg
I want to see him. Our boss sleeps. His brain goes all the
time. He needs rest. Wake him up, Mickey, I've got something
for him. I don't wake up Boss till he asked me. Wake me
up, Mickey, who wants me? It's your croupie, ain't Paul the
wheal junkie says he's gone something he can cap up to himself. Till you
get your share of sleep. Boss live in. Our boss says for me
to let you in. I'll let you have something for me. Paul.
We'll give it to me, but make it tender because I just woke up.
It was in Shannon's place a little while ago. And you have fun.
We'll rub my neck. Nickey, there's a crick and yeah, thanks,
boss. H Oh, that's good, that's very good. There was
someone else there, Kathy, Cameron's father now the other side, Nickey.
He's sick with worry about his daughter. Wants Shannon to take her away from
you. Those three must have made a jolly group. I were so wrapped
up in it. Shannon, his girl, Cameron. He said, all
I wanted was to buy a pack of cigarettes. You're a good boy,
Paul, the thing of many talents. Shannon's coming out here to the boat.
I thought you'd need to know. Paul's a good boy, isn't he?
Nicky, I'm better for you, Bosh. He can't do the things
for Yan could do. He can't Runckey, Nobody can't. That's why I
keep you around, doesn't it? See? See that's why keeps me around.
That's why, sure, Mickey. So they want to take Kathy away
from him, and Kathy will never leave me because I fixed her that way.
It doesn't thy, boss, m because you threw yourself in front of
her car. Because she thought she'd kill you. That's why you've got to
keep out of her sight. Because for as long as she thinks you don't
exist, she belongs to me till I use her up. Her and her
dad is money and so clean. She loses it to me at the roulette
table. Clean and legitimate force is Shannon. Couldn't. No one's going to
spoil it, Mickey, not a well paying courts like you. I give
you my word. Look through the porthole, greg A't Shannon's boat coming alongside.
Go hold his hand, Paul, then bring him to me. I
want to tell him how he can't Part two sweethearts like Kathy and me.
You do me and my gambling ship, great honor, mischievow. Mister Shannon,
your boy brought us to you. We asked for Kathy Cameron. He
didn't want to deny me the pleasure of meeting you too. He has standing
orders to deliver to me first, the illustrious, renowned you see, slave,
I keep telling you that's what we are. You never believe me.
Go on, mister Norton, you were saying that I would have shuddered if
you came aboard and deprived me of yourself gee or smooth, mister Norton.
The way you talk, the waxed mustache, that's the only word for you,
smooth. So you saved yourself a shud in Norton, I said,
all right, if we go find Kathy, she may not care for you
disturbing her at the gambling table. Now, what did you want with miss
Cameron? We're going to take her back to a vana with Miss Norton because
her father is lonesome for her. He's a funny guy. He thinks his
daughter ought to spend more time at home. Any objections, Uh, I
only asked you because you're stuck your nose in. No objections. I only
fear for you. Do you think you can stop me? I know I
can. However, Miss Cameron is in the casino on EPHEK and please sign
the guest book. I want something to remember you buy. I'm I'm a
black pain. Well pay nice Cameron. What mind have we talked to you?
Is your bets? Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets? Mind have
we talked to you? Go away? I can't do that, Miss Cameron.
Why don't you to try the poop Jacket's a good place to jump from
jump from your preposition is dangling, Kathy. Your father must have picked the
wrong finishing school for you. My father, Oh it made me miss my
bet Taylor. I know you want me to kive. It's about hot game
of old maid over there. Come on, Kathy, let's get some mayor
you and I. You're hurting my arm. It's an advice I used to
make myself clear. Come on, I made a suggestion to you before concerning
the poop deck. Or if that doesn't suit you, why don't you try
it from this rail. You're just a kid, Kathy. You've got to
grow up a little more before that kind of talk becomes you. Oh you
think I'm a kid nineteen twenty? Kids that old and woman over forty use
lipstick the way you do. Another suggestion, A girl nineteen is better for
you. Want to know how, I'll put my arms around you and show
you. Hey, take it easy and hold you okay, noughty? Did
you love miss miss Cameron? I only had to do it once, right
in the back of the neck. Get him out of here. I think
I'll give him back to Mischievo. Don't you think I'm considerate? Mister Slithy
stood on moonlit dick man from behind hid him and he neck. Ladies say,
lord, she bring from ship Blue Moon her winnings to date, mister
slath and not because they tried to do one very good deed. Bring doctor
back to your father, who cried his need. He waved out them a
base full of wool. Mister Slaty said, don't cry, I go,
you say slight. He didn't make such a hobby of helping people as never
would have happened to you. It's just for a fellow needs at a time
like this, Sailor a kind word. Now you are hurt, mister sleep
because you love a good deed too much. Yeah. I live for the
moment when I can bring a wandering girl back to her daddy. Let not
and have her. I don't think I could go through this again. You
go through it. Your neck is my neck. I read that once in
a poem. I went back to the Blue Moon, Sailor man me real
nice, because I got some things to do there. I want to look
good. Huh uh. If you go back, they'll kill you. Those
were Norton's parting words to me. He said, tell him not to come
back next time. I'll give him to you in pieces. You're a complicated
man, Slate. I could never put you back together again. Give me
another whiff of your smelling sauce, Sailor. That ringing noise is back in
my skull. You know a hambone, that's the telephone Shannon's place, Sailor
Duval. Oh uh huh, it's for you, Slate. The man who
grows sugar. He's in a chizzy anyway. He makes sounds like a chizzy.
I'll let you know, Slate, Shannon speaking forget, forget. I
don't need you any longer. Where are you, mister Cameron? But you're
not conquering. Give me a clean shirt, Sailor. I got to see
a man who doesn't need me. What's this all about, Cameron? Did
anyone follow you here? I didn't bother to look. Let's go inside.
If they followed inside, Norton's got you scared too. Huh. You don't
know what you're doing coming here. He threatened you or your daughter get out
of here. You made a big noise when I first met you, Cameron.
Now all I hear is chicken. Your daughter needs help? What happened
to all you're worry about her? I'll kill you, I'll kill you.
Kill it's going to calm down. That's better. I don't let us throw
you. It's just a matter of age and condition. I won't kill her.
That's not what you're afraid of. Yes, yes, they're taking all
your money through her. Killing you would be a safer investment. That way,
they get the money a lot faster. But I don't want to die
and either. Why you started something with me and it's got to be finished.
All back to Bold Venture our stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren McCalls. The
second act of our story, I give you two words like you're crazy.
Yeah, I gets iconic when I'm beat over the head. Look at three
o'clock in the morning, go get some I've gotten better prizes than you in
the bottom of a crackerjack box. Why don't you do what I tell you?
Look, if you try to handle the boat, benure, Now you
drive her into the rocks in your condition? You got a condition. The
man said he'd kill you if you came out to the Blue Moon again.
He said that, aren't you going to help me aboard our boat? All?
Right? Times? I wonder why the box I had a spaniel once
for better matters than you talk to me. Slate, out of the way.
Come on, now, you're going to give me trouble. Who are
you talking to? Out of the way, Taylor, What do you want?
Come here? Look at the motor wires all over the place. Someone
someone's come aboard. Who's there? I can't see your face? Who is
it? But you can't see my gun? Can't you? Who are you?
How about you, mister ball? Can you see it? Move it
a little to the last. Thanks, Nay, it's pretty in the moonlight.
If you get that boat fixed, take it north. If you take
it south, you might get two boats of the blue moon. Then everything
will blow up in your face. I haven't pushed around long enough. I've
got about it, and next time I'll put the bullet into your head,
Shannon, instead of entered the woodwork of your boat. Want to try?
No, see you can be sensible. Good night, mechanics. You do
yourself nicely on my money, Paul, the apartment chomming with the core,
excellent taste. And now that I've performed the amenities, you have something for
me. It'll take jan In a long time to fix his boat. And
you convinced them not to annoy us anymore. I'm sorry to tell a man
like Shannon his you're ever so right, then it's up to you, my
dear Kathy. If Shannon should discover you're a murderous a hit and run cover,
they'd take you away from me, and that would make you desolate.
Wasn't it you wanted me to do something? Just tell me, don't claw
at me like a fat cat. Emotion's have their way with you, don't
they, My dear, all right, call Shannon's place, ask for Misterie
Varus. Tell her to come here because you need her so desperately. In
ten minutes. You do need her, Kathy, so you won't waste your
precious life away in prison. Shannon's Place, Salad Ralph speaking. This is

Wave a one over a pumpkin? Or you must please find a way.
Maybe King Moses will lend me his jalope. What's wrong, Cathy?
Ten minutes, mister Bell, the way you wanted it great. Your choice
of words was exquisite, my dear, and it is a matter of whether
you will live, dumb numa. Hey, what do you waving? Look?

help. I'm my glad to see somebody. This man laugh, I saw
what happened. Get a doctor, will you? Your car was weaving from
side to side. You ran this man down. What are you talking about?
