WEBVTT 1 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.480 You were trapped in the native quarter of Mozambique, two 2 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.079 dead men, ature feet, the police closing in on you, 3 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:23.320 and besides you a sultry girl who offers you escape. 4 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.840 Escape produced and directed by William N. Robson and carefully 5 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.479 contrived to free you from the four walls of today 6 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.799 for a half hour of high adventure. 7 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.039 Tonight we escaped to Portuguese East Africa, to the fetid 8 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.439 alleys and dangerous rooftops of Mozambique. In the highly incredible 9 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.880 yet somehow thoroughly plowed adventure by first of all Gibbon 10 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:13.200 entitled the Second Class Passenger. 11 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.159 That's me Ronald A. Dawson's second class passenger. Oh I 12 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.920 could have afforded first class by pinching a little here 13 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.920 and there, But nobody back at Rawson's department store in 14 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.599 Cedar Rapids will ever know. The important thing is they're saying, 15 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.480 Ronald Dawson in Drapery is taking a cruise around the world. 16 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.719 And then there's really very little difference in the accommodations, 17 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.719 and the second class passengers are every bit as interesting 18 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.879 as the first class crowd. Take Miss Patterson, for instance, 19 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.359 You'd look far to find a more charming, likable altogether, 20 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.000 a desirable young lady, just the life of the party. 21 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.040 We've gotten to be quite good friends by the time 22 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.200 our crews put in at Mozambique. Although the competition was 23 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.719 always stiff, I can tell you there were times I 24 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.000 wish those other two Jones and Twitchell had missed the 25 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.239 boat somewhere along the line. 26 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.760 Well, we're still a good couple of hours before we say, 27 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.680 oh about a ride one of these native carriages, Miss Patterson. 28 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.680 Oh dear, do you think they'd be clean personally? I don't, 29 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.599 although I don't know as I should care too much. 30 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.960 Now that Woozo made me so woozy, great. 31 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.080 Stuff, So it would take a Greek to think up 32 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:22.680 a drink like that. 33 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.039 Oh you drinking. 34 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.919 Making Gentlemen like to buy pictures, no very interesting pictures. 35 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.960 Take a look, Oh no, go away? 36 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.759 You know we might do the fort, though the guide 37 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.719 book says it's the main point of interest. Now let's 38 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.800 see built by the Portuguese and sixteen hundred. 39 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.039 Do you never mind the statistics? I dare say the 40 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.240 fort would be as dreary as the rest of the place. 41 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.479 Oh, yes, bozam Beak's not at all like what you 42 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.120 would imagine bozam Beak to be. 43 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.120 Lying, that's a one horse down all right, main street 44 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.439 in a couple of valleys, and. 45 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.800 It's so dirty, you know, you think they do something 46 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.919 about it in this day and age. 47 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.240 No field point look called fine work. Him belonged to 48 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.240 Big Tanguan. 49 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.879 You a chief? 50 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.080 I said, no, maybe someday, wanna need fine job knife? 51 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.319 No, now get out, what did I need a knife 52 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:22.560 for it? 53 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.719 To protect yourself from the savage natives? 54 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:24.879 Oh? 55 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.199 Man, all you'd have to do is call a policeman. 56 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.479 He isn't doing anything else. You see him. Look at 57 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.719 him out in the center of the street, directing traffic 58 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.280 like he was at the corner of State and Madison. 59 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.520 And the traffic consists of two donkeys and an ox car. 60 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.319 It will be a relief to get back on board 61 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.560 ship and have a nice hot bath. 62 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.639 Yes, and real American food instead of that greasy fried 63 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.520 octopus we had for lunch at that Greek place. 64 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.280 Oh my, weren't they off. 65 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.800 That's part of the broadening experience of travel. 66 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.680 Yes, yes, I suppose so. Like that cute idol that 67 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.680 I bought. I can't wait to show that the girls 68 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.400 at the bank you know. Oh you're miss Dawson. 69 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.560 Yes, Patterson, where's my idol? Why? I thought Jones had 70 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:06.520 twitch or not me? 71 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:07.039 Old man? 72 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.159 You insisted on carrying it for miss Patterson, don't you remember? 73 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.599 Oh, dear, I must have left it back at the 74 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.639 Greek restaurant. I'm so sorry. 75 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.120 Oh I did so want that idol. Don't you think 76 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.759 you could go back for it, mister Dawson. 77 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.600 Whoa, Yes, of course, But I wonder if i'll have 78 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:26.360 time before the boat. 79 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.079 Say, I'm sure you will if you heard it, certainly. 80 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.759 Oh man, you've got more than an hour yet you're sure? 81 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:32.000 Oh? 82 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.160 Yes, Steward told me. 83 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:34.959 Then I'll go at once. 84 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.279 Oh that's kind of you, my dear, mister Dawson. Now 85 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.120 mind you don't miss the boat. 86 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.360 Well, I'll try not to. Why chances are i'll catch 87 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.399 up with you before you've reached the landing stone mine. 88 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.279 We'll wait for you till the very last. 89 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.720 I could have throttled that super sillious Jones insisting I 90 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.879 had time. I knew there was time, but I had 91 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.800 no desire to run off after a heavy bronze curio 92 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.040 and leave Jones and Twitchell alone withiness Patterson. She was 93 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.040 too nice a person. And oh they were such dreadful boores. Yes, 94 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.879 and I suspected them of being phonies too, But there 95 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.120 was no helping it now, so I made my way 96 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.639 back up the main street toward Lazarus Restaurant, where we'd 97 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.720 had our indigestible Greek lunch. Somehow, this main street of 98 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.360 Mozambique looked different now, in the quick African twilight. The 99 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.519 little saloons in the sidewalks were filling with men of 100 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.839 every nationality and color. Many of them wore knives thrust 101 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.079 through the belts of their thin white suits, knives that 102 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.160 looked as sharp as the glances they threw at me. 103 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:42.680 I must confess I felt a little strange and unwonted. Then, 104 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.959 lounging towards me in the crowd, I saw a large 105 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.600 woman clad in a sort of burnoose, but her brown 106 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.959 face unveiled. She had very wide lips and they were 107 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.040 painted scarlet, and from the corner of her mouth she 108 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.519 dangled a cigarette. Her eyes were heavily mascarried, and when 109 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.959 she looked down at me, terror seized me. I was 110 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.560 afraid she would speak to me. I didn't know what 111 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.160 I should do or say, but she didn't. Instead, she laughed, 112 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.519 and the way the lawyer was responded, I was convinced 113 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.680 that they were laughing with her at me, I must say. 114 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.000 I was relieved to reach the entrance of Lazarus restaurant. 115 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.319 Good evening, sir, little dinner for the gentleman. No, no, 116 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.120 thank you. As a matter of fact, I just lunched 117 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.600 here today. Very good, excellent mail, Thank you, sir. I 118 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.920 left a curio here, probably under the table. Have you 119 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.120 found it? A curio? Yes, some sort of a brass god. 120 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.879 It was wrapped in newspaper. Oh yes, so we got 121 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.160 him right here. Oh that's good. That's fine. I'm in 122 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.399 a hurry to get back to the boat. Yes, you 123 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.079 better hurry pretty soon. 124 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.759 She rained, rain. 125 00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.920 Why there's not a cloud in. 126 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.759 The sky every night she rain in Mozambique. 127 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.160 Well you ought to know, but I still doted. Oh 128 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.519 here by yourself as a guy. 129 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.560 Thank you, sir, Thank you. 130 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.279 Very quick before she rained, don't worry about me. I'm 131 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:24.079 not made of sugar, you know. In just the few 132 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.480 moments I'd been inside the restaurant, night had fallen, that 133 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.639 sudden nightfall of the tropics. I looked overhead and clearly 134 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.040 saw the stars. Thinking what a bad weather forecast of 135 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.439 the Grak was. I tucked Miss Patterson's silly bronze idol 136 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.000 under my arm and started off with the waterfront. I 137 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.279 hadn't gone two hundred yards when a large, warm drop 138 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.920 of rain splattered on the back of my neck, then 139 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.800 two more on my hat, and before I could take 140 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.040 cover under an arch. It was raining like Iowa and April. 141 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.519 It didn't look like it let up soon, and I 142 00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.560 wondered if there might not be a shorter way to 143 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.839 the water front, then the long walk down the main street, 144 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.839 and then the long way to the left along the docks. 145 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.879 Surely one of these alleys that turned off to the 146 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.360 left would lead me directly to the harbor and the 147 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.199 landing stage. So I left the protection of the archway 148 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.720 and turned into the alley at my left, four steps 149 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.000 from the main street, and I was engulfed in darkness, 150 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.240 wading through filth and mud over my ankles. But I 151 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.279 was certain that I was on the right track, so 152 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.039 I walked on and went straight into a blank wall. 153 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.879 I turned to retrace my steps, but I could see 154 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:41.399 no lights anywhere. I felt along the wall and until 155 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.600 it gave into another alley, followed it to another blank wall, 156 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.799 and thence into another one, And now I knew I 157 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.480 was lost. And now it had began to rain in earnest. 158 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.080 It pelted, it stamped, it whipped, it stung, it clashed. 159 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.840 In a moment, I was drenched to the skin. If 160 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.200 it was dark before, it was now black as a tomb. 161 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.080 I struggled onward because it was too terrible to stand 162 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.799 still and feel myself being beaten to the earth by 163 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.840 the sheer weight of the rain. I don't know how 164 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.159 far I walked through those fall and fettered passageways, nor 165 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.840 for ha long, but at last, feeling my way around 166 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.080 the corner, I saw a slit of light, a horizontal flicker, 167 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.879 beckoning beneath the door, and I heard voices. I lifted 168 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.559 the bronze idol and rapped on the door with it, 169 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.240 and the voices stopped. 170 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:40.840 What do you want? 171 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.600 I'd lost my way, I'm went through and I don't 172 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:50.440 know where I am. Please let me in, Please let 173 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:50.679 me in. 174 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.480 Of course you may come in. 175 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.519 Yeah, I'm exactly who we expected, But come in, come in. 176 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.679 I walked into a room that was unfurnished save for 177 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.919 a littered table and some chairs, and a gaudy picture 178 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.480 of the Virgin that hung on the wall. On each 179 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.080 side of it was a skuns in which is slovenly 180 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.440 candle guttered.

I didn't seem to see the 370 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.359 great ship lying out in the harbor, her lights blinking 371 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.279 with the comforts of civilization. All my senses were focused 372 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.880 on this slim, breathtaking figure leading me across the rooftops 373 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.480 to a shadowy destination in which only one thing was 374 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:24.079 certain she would be there. I suppose, in that moment, 375 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.480 armed only with the bloody bronze Idol, I was invincible. 376 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:37.599 At last she led me down a creaking wooden stair 377 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.240 that hung precariously on the sheer side of a house, 378 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.720 and once more we were in the mud of a 379 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.039 gloomy alley. Even the way she slid her arm along 380 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.599 mine and softly grasped my hand filled me with greater 381 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.000 power than I had ever known. Hand in hand, we 382 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:54.920 made our way down the alley and out into a 383 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.480 little square, where a night breeze rustled in the palms 384 00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:01.759 and smelled of the sea. And across the way a 385 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:06.039 dim light showed through a big open door, the little. 386 00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:07.240 Church of San Sebastian. 387 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:20.720 The police after all this, okay, your the prendella porque. 388 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.759 Musa company one was one. 389 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.880 Was capitao diva vero tramanida. 390 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.400 The resolve is ishta vesna pegamau present.
