01:30Riverdale Exchange.
01:32Oh, yes, just a minute.
01:37Mr. Somers, Chicago officers calling.
01:40Hello? Yes.
01:42Oh, yes, Mr. Thorpe.
01:44Oh, just a minute.
01:46Let me have those names again.
01:48Jeff Rickard.
01:51Mack Bowman.
01:54Oh, they are, eh?
01:56They're plenty good, Tom.
01:58In fact, the best telephone linesmen we've had since you left the field.
02:01And just as hard to handle.
02:03Well, that's fine. I like them tough.
02:05Sure.
02:07We're rushing construction on the line north of the dam right now.
02:10Yeah, they'll be gabbing over it in three weeks.
02:13Yes, we will have to have another operator.
02:16Yes, Mr. Thorpe.
02:18Goodbye.
02:21Hello, who's calling, please?
02:23Just a minute. The line's on that aisle, sir.
02:27Oh, Helen, I have to run up to the dam.
02:29If Sylvia calls, tell her not to wait dinner, but I'll be back in time for the dance.
02:33Yes, Mr. Somers.
02:34What number do you want?
02:35Number, please.
02:36Oh, I'll get them. Just a minute.
02:38The line is busy.
02:47Boy, we just made it.
02:49I bet you they're not dropping the tank.
02:51You want some gas?
02:52Yeah, fill her up.
02:53Yes, sir.
02:55So this is Riverdale.
02:57Yeah, beautiful, ain't it?
02:59I wonder why I took this job.
03:01You took it to be with your pal. Didn't want to leave me, don't you remember?
03:04Yeah, I remember, but don't rub it in.
03:06Ah, you'll be all right.
03:07Soon as you get your mind off that gal you met on State Street.
03:10Can I help it if I get romantic?
03:12How much?
03:13Two dollars each.
03:14There you are.
03:15Thank you, sir.
03:16Say, where's the dam they're stringing the telephone wires up to?
03:19Up in the hills, about ten miles.
03:21Now, where's the telephone office?
03:22Over there.
03:23Where's the hotel?
03:24Over there.
03:26Must be a retired hitchhiker.
03:28Say, you going to be around here long?
03:30No, just long enough to rob the bank.
03:33Number three.
03:35Hey, maybe we didn't do this town justice.
03:37Well, fancy running into this in Riverdale.
03:40Oh, dear old Riverdale.
03:42We're going to like dear old Riverdale.
03:44You took the points right out of my mouth.
03:47Now, where's the telephone office?
03:49Up in the hills, about ten miles.
03:51Now, where's the telephone office?
03:53Up in the hills, about ten miles.
03:55Now, where's the telephone office?
03:57Up in the hills, about ten miles.
03:59Now, where's the telephone office?
04:02Don't look now, Helen, but somebody must have left the door open.
04:06And a couple of horseflies got in.
04:21Number three.
04:23Yes, just a minute.
04:24Can I do anything for you?
04:26Yeah, we're working our way through college.
04:28Hey, would you please take a subscription to the ladies' home and final?
04:31No, thank you.
04:32Well, that's just fine. Then we won't have to go to college.
04:34Did you wish to see someone?
04:36I've had my wish, gorgeous.
04:38No, seriously.
04:39We're supposed to see some guy by the name of Summers.
04:42I'm Rickard, and he's Bowman.
04:44Mr. Summers has gone for the day.
04:46That's too bad. I'll have to see him tomorrow.
04:49Say, do they really dance in this boy?
04:51Yeah, and I guess that kind of lets you out.
04:55I'll be there, gorgeous, and we can dance.
04:58I wouldn't count on it if I were you.
05:00Okay, we'll sit one out.
05:04Yes, just a minute.
05:05Number, please.
05:07The nerve of some people.
05:09Just a minute, please.
05:11I suppose they think that's big-time comedy.
05:14The line is busy.
05:16I think the woman with the pug nose is kind of cute.
05:19You would.
05:20Hello, Holden's Meat Market?
05:22We'll hold the line a minute.
05:27Yes, Mrs. Summers.
05:28No, he's not.
05:29But Helen has a message for you. Just a minute.
05:32Sylvia Summers on the line.
05:35Hello, Sylvia.
05:36Hello. Helen?
05:40Oh.
05:42Said he won't be coming home for dinner.
05:46Thanks, Helen.
05:47Will I be seeing you at the dance tonight?
05:49Yes, Donnie and I will be over just as soon as we get off duty tonight.
05:53She sure trusts us.
05:54You know where that call came from?
05:56Yes, Campbell's apartment.
05:58She must be crazy.
06:00Oh, I don't know.
06:01Campbell's not so hard to take.
06:03She doesn't wind up in the suit.
06:05Donnie, that's not funny.
06:07Sylvia and I worked together for two years.
06:10She was a sweet kid.
06:12Well, even a sweet kid rates a flirtation now and then.
06:15Not when she's married to a man like Tom Summers.
06:22I beg your pardon.
06:23Oh, Mr. Wilson.
06:25Oh, I can't understand a word you're saying.
06:28Oh, a boy.
06:30Well, congratulations.
06:56Look at your girlfriend.
06:58The Campbells are coming.
07:08She's being very foolish, Donnie.
07:11That's the way Campbell likes them.
07:20Hello, dear.
07:21Hello, boss.
07:22Mrs. Summers here?
07:23Yeah, she's dancing with Campbell.
07:41Donnie, wait here.
07:44Hello, Tom.
07:45I saved this dance for you.
07:47Oh, yes, sure, Helen.
07:54Sylvia looks lovely tonight, doesn't she?
07:57Yes, she does.
08:10Well, that was a short one, wasn't it?
08:12You were late getting here.
08:14Oh, I'm sorry.
08:15Oh, I'm sorry.
08:16Oh, I'm sorry.
08:17Oh, I'm sorry.
08:18Oh, I'm sorry.
08:19Oh, I'm sorry.
08:20Oh, I'm sorry.
08:21Oh, I'm sorry.
08:22I'm sorry I was late getting here.
08:25Excuse me, Pat.
08:28I'll see you later?
08:30All right.
08:36How about dancing with me, mister?
08:38Why, sure.
08:39If Helen doesn't mind.
08:40Oh, good enough.
08:41Go ahead.
08:43I'm sorry I was late getting here.
08:45Oh, that's all right.
08:52Hey, what about tickets?
09:00Tickets?
09:01For this clam bank?
09:02Yeah, tickets.
09:03Okay, we'll give.
09:04How much?
09:05Half a buck a throw.
09:08How much?
09:09Half a buck a throw.
09:37Well, if it ain't, what is it?
09:39Fancy meeting you here.
09:40Can't say I fancy it.
09:43Hey!
09:47Hey, wait a minute.
09:48What's the matter?
09:49Nothing.
09:50Say, honey, could you all mix me a mint jewelry?
09:55Is you from down south?
09:57Yes, ma'am.
09:58I'm from the deep south.
10:00What part of the south?
10:02New Orleans.
10:03Oh.
10:05Since when did they move New Orleans up to south Chicago?
10:09Oh, they didn't move it.
10:10I just commute.
10:11Still a fresh guy.
10:13But, you know, I didn't recognize you the night you looked so spiffy.
10:16Oh, I'm a different person after dark.
10:18You don't know what you're missing by not dancing with me.
10:21I have a vivid imagination.
10:23Go with me.
10:24What's the matter with you?
10:26Why don't you stop?
10:27Well, I thought the reception committee was supposed to see that everybody had a good time.
10:31I don't happen to be on the reception committee.
10:45Oh, come on, let's dance.
10:46Why?
10:47Just a minute, Helen.
10:48Is this guy bothering you?
10:49He certainly is.
10:50Why don't you leave the young lady alone?
10:52Well, why don't you mind your own business?
10:54Say another crack like that and I'll throw you out.
10:56Hey, keep your hands off of me.
10:58Get out, fresh guy.
11:01Get out.
11:06Hey, what's going on here?
11:07You can't do this to us.
11:08I'm an American citizen.
11:09Throw the citizen out.
11:11Hey, you can't do this.
11:12I'll shoot you.
11:13I stand upon my country.
11:23Hey, what about our hats?
11:25You go get them.
11:28Wise guy, huh?
11:30I'm going to like this town.
11:34Who's calling, please?
11:35Just a minute.
11:36A number, please.
11:38Hello?
11:39I'll try and get him.
11:40The line is busy.
11:42Ma, that man's here again.
11:44Hello.
11:45Hello.
11:46You still want to see Mr. Somers?
11:48Why, yeah.
11:49Is he in?
11:50Yes, he's in.
11:51He's waiting for you.
11:52Hey, thanks.
11:55A number, please.
11:56I'm ringing in.
11:57You don't know what you missed last night, gorgeous.
11:59I'm really a good dancer.
12:04Let me have those figures again, will you?
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Yeah, I'll take care of it right away.
12:10Right.
12:13We're, uh, Rickard and Bowman.
12:18Rickard and Bowman reporting, eh?
12:20He's Rickard.
12:22Well, will you start the shovel?
12:23Quiet!
12:25Get me Heber.
12:28Thorpe tells me you two are pretty good.
12:31The best in the company.
12:33The best in the company, eh?
12:35Yep, that's us.
12:39Well, hello, Heber.
12:41Say, I've got the two greatest linemen in the world.
12:44Yeah, they admitted.
12:46I'm sending them right up to you.
12:49These boys can do the work of ten men.
12:51Oh, I wouldn't say that.
12:54And you see that they do it, Heber.
12:57Now, listen, you mugs.
12:59Later on, when you get a chance,
13:00I want you to take a look through the records of the telephone company.
13:03And you'll find a guy named Hotline Summers.
13:06And everybody said he was the greatest lineman the phone company ever had.
13:09That's me.
13:12Now, scram!
13:14Scram where?
13:15Grab a truck and report to Heber, the foreman.
13:17He's up at the dam.
13:19Yes, sir.
13:20Yes, sir!
13:24A minute.
13:27I'm ringing him. He doesn't answer.
13:29Number, please.
13:30Smart guy, huh?
13:31He had a pick on Hotline Summers the first day we were in town.
13:33Why didn't you tell me who he was?
13:35Me tell you? You're supposed to know everything.
13:37Hey, why don't you two hire a whore?
13:39Number, please.
13:40Hey, you mugs.
13:41I thought I told you to grab a truck and get out of here.
13:45Dear old Riverdale.
13:46Yeah, I think I'm gonna like this bird, too.
13:49Just a minute.
13:50The line is still busy.
13:51I just got a letter from the main office.
13:53And as soon as the new line is in,
13:54this is going to be a 24-hour exchange.
13:57No more closing at 10 o'clock.
13:59What do you mean?
14:00We're gonna work all night?
14:01No, I'll put on an extra girl.
14:03Oh, that's fine.
14:04Gee, I know just the girl.
14:06Send her in.
14:08Bet they won't forget the balling out they got.
14:10They won't be bothering us for a while.
14:13The line is busy.
14:15I still think the one with the puggy nose is kind of cute.
14:18You fall for the funniest knickknacks.
14:23Number, please.
14:24The line is still busy.
14:25I'm terribly sorry.
14:36Hey, where's the foreman on this job?
14:39That's him over there.
14:49Hey, what about parking this truck?
14:52What's the matter?
14:53Can't you drive?
14:54Oh, park it yourself.
14:55It don't belong to us.
14:59So you're the two mugs that can do the work of 10 men,
15:01are you?
15:04Well, pick out a pole, wise guys, and get to work.
15:07Do your stuff.
15:13You certainly picked a swell pair of mugs to tangle up with.
15:15They'll dry up, will you?
15:16They'll dry us up.
15:17They'll ride us ragged.
15:39Maybe this heaver ain't so tough.
15:42Maybe.
15:43Maybe.
15:50Look out below.
15:56Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Heaver.
16:05So you do the work of 10 men, huh?
16:07Does the other eight of you drop wrenches too?
16:09Thank you, Mr. Heaver.
16:39Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Heaver.

18:10Hey, beautiful.
18:11I'm not busy tonight.
18:13What time do you get off duty?
18:15Sorry.
18:16We're not allowed to give out that information.
18:19How can you be so hard hearted?
18:21You know, I like you.
18:25Listen, baby.
18:26I'm off my nut about you.
18:28I'll say you're off your nut.
18:30This is Somers.
18:33Hello?
18:34Hello.
18:35Oh, Ellen, who was that?
18:40That was the fresh Mr. Ricketts from Chicago,
18:42testing his lungs.
18:47Get away.
18:48Oh, gee, that's tough.
18:49We got to do something about that.
18:51Gee, how?
18:54Lead with your legs, see?
18:55Keep pecking at his chin.
18:57You get him off balance, then shoot a right cross.
18:59Nail him on the button with everything you got.
19:01Now, the next time you meet him, let him have it.
19:04Next time, I'm going to do it right now.
19:12I dare you to put a chip on your shoulder.
19:34I quit.
19:35I quit.
19:36Had enough, eh?
19:45You did a nice job, champ.
19:48Just like when I was his age.
19:50Gee, I sure thank you for showing me how.
19:52You better get home and change those wet clothes.
19:54Where do you live?
19:55In town with my mother and sister.
19:58He's got a sister.
20:01How old is your sister?
20:0222.
20:03She works for the telephone company, same as you do.
20:06Oh, she does, huh?
20:07What does she do?
20:08She's the chief operator.
20:11She's the chief operator?
20:14Say, do you know your liable to catch cold?
20:16How would you like to ride home with us in a telephone truck?
20:19Gee, that would be swell.
20:23So your sister works for the telephone company.
20:28Come on.
20:34Gee, I'd like to drive a telephone truck.
20:37Stick around with me.
20:38I'll show you how to drive one.
20:40Come on, get in.
20:58I bet you could fix the radio.
21:00Say, anything you want to know about a radio,
21:02just ask your Uncle Red.
21:04Shortwave, too?
21:05Sure.
21:06Shortwave, longwave, crime wave, permanent wave, anything.
21:09My set's a shortwave.
21:11He knows that, too.
21:12Only it don't work.
21:13Yeah, we'll fix it up for you.
21:15Say, do you think your sister will be home?
21:18Oh, I don't know.
21:19She ought to be.
21:23Hey, Mom?
21:24Yes?
21:26Well, Dad, what on earth happened to you?
21:28Oh, I fell in the water up by the dam.
21:30This is Red.
21:31This is my Mom.
21:32This is Malloy.
21:33I'm Jeff Rickard, and this is Mac Bowman.
21:35Red saved my life, Mom.
21:37Saved your life?
21:38Oh, I'm afraid he's building that up a little, Miss Malloy.
21:41He wasn't in any real danger.
21:43Well, in any case, thank you for what you did.
21:45He's going to fix my radio.
21:46He is?
21:47Well, that's fine.
21:48But first, I think you better run upstairs
21:50and get rid of those wet clothes.
21:52OK.
21:54Don't go away, fellas.
21:55We won't.
21:56The radio's in there.
21:58OK, Ted.
22:00You gentlemen are strangers in town, aren't you?
22:02Yes.
22:03Well, maybe you'd like to stay and have a home-cooked dinner.
22:05A home-cooked dinner?
22:06That'd be grand, Mrs. Malloy.
22:08Well, while you're looking at the radio,
22:09I'll run upstairs and see how Ted's getting along.
22:15Boy, a real home-cooked dinner.
22:18Rowdy douse.
22:19Shh.
22:20Quiet.
22:21Pretty soft, eh?
22:23On second thought, pretty soft for you.
22:24But how about me?
22:25Nobody asked you to stay.
22:26Yeah.
22:27Try and get me away before dinner.
22:38Sit down.
22:39Sit down.
22:40Thanks.
22:41Boy, this is what I call real comfort.
22:44Isn't that a company truck outside?
22:46I don't know.
22:47It looks like it.
22:48Mom, I brought Donny home for dinner.
22:50Good.
22:52We've got company.
22:53Company?
22:54Good evening, ladies.
22:56Well, isn't it a small world?
22:58Positively stuffy sometimes.
23:01How did you get here?
23:03Well, you see, your mother invited us for dinner.
23:05And I fell for your little brother
23:07when I found out he was yours.
23:08You should have seen.
23:09When I fell in the water, he let all me out
23:12right on the end of a fishing pole.
23:14That must have taken a lot of courage, Mr. Rickard.
23:17Well, Ted's exaggerating a little.
23:21You know, what happens to little boys that exaggerate?
23:23Certainly he does.
23:24They grow up to be telephone linemen, don't they?
23:27He could get it this early in the season.
23:30We've had a lot of unusual things this season, Mother.
23:33If this keeps up, we'll sure get our feet wet, pal.
23:36Yeah.
23:37Thank goodness I'm not sensitive to colds.
23:39And it strikes me as the sort of person
23:41who doesn't catch things easily.
23:43I do wish it would stop raining.
23:45It's been pouring on and off for three weeks now.
23:47Jack says his pop's worried about the dam.
23:50He's a foreman at the dam.
23:51He's working on the new concrete they've been pouring.
23:54Well, one good flood, and we'll all
23:56be 100 miles down the country.
23:58Say, want to fix the radio?
24:00Well, perhaps he doesn't want to, Ted.
24:02Oh, sure.
24:03You ladies will excuse us.
24:04Ted and I'll do big things.
24:05And by the way, Mrs. Malloy, Shorty's
24:08a great hand at washing dishes.
24:09Well, but where it is.
24:11Oh, surely a clever lineman like Mr. Rickard
24:14wouldn't need a diagram.
24:16Try the earphones, Ted.
24:19No use in letting this thing run into a world war, you know.
24:22What'd you say, Red?
24:23I was talking to your sister.
24:25Try them again.
24:29Nothing coming through.
24:31That's funny.
24:32I thought there was nothing a lineman couldn't fix.
24:35Maybe we better send for Mr. Summers and let him do it.
24:38Yeah, he was a fair lineman, too.
24:40Gee whiz.
24:41Must be swell to be a lineman.
24:43I'd like to be climbing poles, though.
24:45It's all right, Teddy.
24:46And you get the proper cooperation
24:48from the other departments.
24:49What do you mean?
24:51Well, when you want to test a connection,
24:53they'll have to give you an uncivil answer.
24:55They'll have to even give you a wrong connection.
24:57And then there are other departments
24:59that just can't keep their mind on their own work.
25:01And then again, Teddy, there are those departments
25:03that spend all their time getting
25:05the other departments in wrong.
25:07Gee whiz.
25:08You'll never get anywhere that way.
25:10You said it.
25:12Hey, you.
25:13Come back here.
25:14What do you think you're doing, mixing concrete?
25:16Well, that ain't in my line.
25:18I'm strictly an outdoor man.
25:20Your mother said she'd rather finish the dishes alone.
25:22She probably wants to have a little chinaware
25:24left for breakfast.
25:25He broke two of her beds' plates.
25:27You're losing your touch, Shorty.
25:29Now, the last time you laundered those dishes
25:31for that little gal in Pittsburgh.
25:32Hey, what do you say we all go to the movies, huh?
25:33Why, did all this rain?
25:34I think the idea's idiotic.
25:36Try those earphones, Kate.
25:38You get anything?
25:40Nothing coming through.
25:42I guess you and I better go up on the roof
25:44and look at that aerial.
25:45What in this rain?
25:46Oh, rain doesn't bother him.
25:48Come on, I'll show you the way.
25:49OK, be right down.
25:59Excuse me.
26:00Be back in a minute.
26:04Gee, it stopped raining again.
26:07Now you won't get wet.
26:08Yeah, where's that aerial?
26:09Right over there, by the edge of the roof.
26:14Cozy and quiet, ain't it?
26:27Teddy, why don't you go on downstairs?
26:30Maybe there's something already coming in on your set.
26:32Gee, that's right.
26:34I'd better go listen.
26:44Bye-bye.
27:03OK, let's go to the show.
27:06But what about Redd?
27:07He says to meet us there later.
27:08Come on, take your hat and coat.
27:11Want to come along, Teddy?
27:13No, I'm staying here with Grant.
27:15All right.
27:16See you later.
27:26Hey, Teddy!
27:30Gee whiz.
27:42Hello!
27:44Hello, hello, hello, hello!
27:46Hello!
27:48Hello, hello, hello!
27:50Hello.
27:52Give me that dumbbell.
27:54Oh, jealous, huh?
27:58I hope it's nothing trivial.
28:00Hello.
28:01Hello.
28:04Testing number six on the new circuit.
28:06It's...
28:08Did you get any distance on that set last night?
28:11Yeah.
28:12Ted got Australia and I got pneumonia.
28:14Test is okay on number six.
28:17I'm sorry.
28:18I'm busy tonight.
28:21I've seen you fall for a doll before, but never so hard.
28:24You're practically cemented in.
28:26Well, now that you've gotten that out of your system,
28:28how about going to work and quit kidding?
28:30Maybe I wasn't kidding.
28:32How would you like these pliers wrapped around your neck?
28:34Now I know I wasn't kidding.
28:36Now I know I wasn't kidding.
28:37Look here, Red, be reasonable.
28:39What could we do with a life?
28:41Uh...
28:42Mud.
28:45Well, looks like we're all set for the cutover.
28:49Helen!
28:50Helen!
28:51Oh, did I get an eyeful.
28:53I ran every foot of the way to tell you.
28:55Tell me what.
28:56I was coming down Woodrow Street,
28:57and there on the opposite side of the street,
28:59you know, down the lane behind her house,
29:01well, they got into a car and they drove off this way.
29:04No, it must have been that way.
29:05Dotty, what are you talking about?
29:08Who drove off?
29:09Where?
29:11Sylvia Summers and Campbell.
29:13That's what I've been trying to tell you right along.
29:15Well, what's so terrible about that?
29:18The boss's wife putting her suitcase in her boyfriend's car.
29:21How do we know they're not a loopy?
29:23Dotty, you're crazy.
29:25Well, maybe I am.
29:35Hello?
29:36Is Mrs. Summers in, Lydia?
29:39Well, when will she be in?
29:40She's gone away for the weekend.
29:43Mr. Summers was going to be away,
29:45so she thought she'd take a little holiday, too.
29:49Well, I understand she's gone to visit her sister Blaine.
29:52Thank you, Lydia.
29:53I'll call her there.
29:55She wasn't there, was she?
29:56She's gone to her sister's for the weekend.
29:58Well, why don't you call her there?
30:00Go on, give her a call.
30:02Why don't you call her there?
30:03Go on, give her a way if she really has been fibbing.
30:06It'd serve her right.
30:09I've got a better idea than that.
30:21Hello?
30:23No, ma'am, Mr. Campbell's not here.
30:25He's gone away for the weekend
30:27to his hunting cabin up at Mirror Lake.
30:29Okay, ma'am.
30:33Campbell's gone to his hunting cabin
30:35at Mirror Lake for the weekend.
30:37There.
30:38What did I tell you?
30:40Dottie, she must be out of her mind.
30:43A minute ago you said I was a dippy one.
30:46I wonder if she realizes what she's doing.
30:49I don't know, but if I was married to a swell guy like Summers,
30:52I wouldn't chisel on him.
30:54Dottie, you mustn't mention this to a soul.
30:56What kind of a heel do you think I am?
30:58I'm sorry, Dot.
31:00If it ever got to Tom, it would break his heart.
31:06Number, please.
31:07Locate Heber and tell him I'll bring the extra equipment
31:09on the 715.
31:11And, Dottie, tell Mrs. Summers, will you?
31:13Sylvia, what are we going to do?
31:15There's no phone within miles of Mirror Lake.
31:17Oh, we've got to do something.
31:20How did that silly little fool smash her home like this?
31:23Hello?
31:25Hello?
31:26Reporting B-Circuit completely out.
31:29And how was the picture show last night?
31:31Red?
31:32When are you coming in?
31:33Did I hear you say Red?
31:35Yes, I said it.
31:37Listen, young man.
31:38You've been butting into my life and my affairs
31:40ever since you came to this town.
31:42Now you can really butt in and welcome.
31:44I need help.
31:45I'm in a jam.
31:46Jam's on the way.
31:47I'll be back in a minute.
31:48I'll be back in a minute.
31:50I need help.
31:51I'm in a jam.
31:52Jam's on my meat, gorgeous.
31:54I'm coming straight in.
32:01You picked a fine night for a ride.
32:03But this rain will be up to our necks in mud.
32:06We've got to get her home before it's too late.
32:08Summers will be back in town any minute.
32:10Mirror Lake.
32:11That's quite a distance.
32:13But okay, little girl.
32:14Let's go.
32:15Dottie, can you handle both those boards while I'm gone?
32:17Sure can.
32:18Even with one arm tied behind me.
32:19Thanks, dear.
32:20And don't forget, keep your mouth shut.
32:21Oh, and by the way, telephone my mother
32:23and tell her I won't be home for dinner.
32:25Okay.
32:29Ted, hand me the telephone.
32:33Hello.
32:34Oh, Dottie.
32:38She won't be home.
32:40Well, where on earth could she be going on a night like this?
32:46Oh, she won't be home for dinner.
32:48I had such a nice dinner.
32:50I baked such a good apple pie.
32:53Well, thank you, Dottie, for calling.
32:55Goodbye.
32:57Here, Ted.
33:03Here's the news, Mom.
33:05Heavy storms in northern part of the state are moving southward.
33:08The Dalton River is reaching the flood stage.
33:10Emergency stations are being set up all along the river bank.
33:13Oh, Ted, shut that thing off.
33:15Rain, rain, rain, whenever is it going to stop?
33:18I'm sick of hearing about it.
33:24Lydia.
33:26Lydia!
33:28Where's Mrs. Summers?
33:32What's the matter with you?
33:34Where's Mrs. Summers?
33:36She went out.
33:37Out?
33:38What could she be doing out on a night like this?
33:40Oh, it wasn't like this when she went out.
33:43No?
33:44She went out.
33:45No?
33:46What time was that?
33:47Oh, about 4 o'clock.
33:494 o'clock?
33:50And she isn't back yet?
33:53That's funny.
33:55What was she wearing?
33:56Her riding clothes.
33:58Was she alone?
34:00I don't know, Mr. Summers.
34:01I really don't.
34:04Now, Lydia, you say she left here at 4 o'clock?
34:06Yes.
34:08Well, then you saw her leave.
34:09Was she alone or was someone with her?
34:11I don't know, Mr. Summers.
34:12I don't know.
34:14I don't know.
34:31Well, I might as well pick up the axe and continue cooking the dinner.
34:35Miss Malloy, you don't know how much I appreciate...
34:36I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you.
34:45As soon as he gets inside, we're leaving here.
34:49And I hope you realize what that girl's doing for you.
34:59Hello, Mr. Summers.
35:05What do you mean by this?
35:09Helen, do you know what you're doing here?
35:11Why, certainly.
35:13I'm sorry, but I came here expecting to find somebody else.
35:17Well, then suppose you leave.
35:19Helen, don't you think you'd better let me drive you back to town?
35:23No, thank you.
35:25Then you mean you're going to stay here?
35:28Why not?
35:29I came with Mr. Campbell.
35:30Naturally, I'll go back with him.
35:33Okay, if that's the way you feel.
35:35Okay, if that's the way you feel.
35:48If it's any satisfaction to you, I...
35:51I realize I'm pretty much of a heel.
35:54It's trifle late to arrive at that conclusion, isn't it?
36:05Yes.
36:15I know it doesn't mean much coming from me, but...
36:18I think you're one of the swellest girls I've ever met.
36:21Skip it.
36:29Number, please.
36:30Number, please.
36:35Dotty, what's the idea?
36:39I don't know, Helen.
36:41But Mr. Summers wants to see you.
36:43Oh.
36:49Come in.
36:51Oh, hello, Helen.
36:57You put someone else in my...
36:59What did you expect?
37:00You left the board last night when you should have been on duty.
37:02But I left Dotty Pinch hitting for me.
37:04That isn't the point, Helen.
37:07Oh, I see.
37:09Then that isn't the real reason.
37:11I think we may as well let the matter drop right there, don't you?
37:17I guess you're right.
37:21I'm very sorry, Helen, but you know how I feel about things like that.
37:25Yes, Tom.
37:27I think I do.
37:35Number, please.
37:39Hi, kid.
37:40What'd he say?
37:42See you tonight, Dotty.
37:43I'll tell you then.
37:47He doesn't answer.
37:48Hello, Helen.
37:49Day off?
37:50Plenty of them.
37:54He's not in.
37:55Hello?
37:56Oh, yes, Mr. Summers.
37:57He's in.
37:58Just a minute.
38:00What's the matter with Helen?
38:01Is she sick?
38:02No, she's not.
38:03She quit?
38:04No, she quit.
38:08She was supposed to be on duty.
38:10But you don't understand, dear.
38:11I can't take her back.
38:13That has nothing to do with it.
38:15Well, we'll talk it over later.
38:17All right, dear.
38:18Goodbye.
38:20Heber, I'm glad you're here.
38:21Just going up to the dam, boss.
38:22Any orders?
38:23Plenty.
38:24Circuit 32 is out completely and four poles are down on Anson's farm.
38:28When you finish that job, hurry across the delta.
38:31The river is still rising pretty fast.
38:34Get me Tucker and the Dalton exchange.
38:38The line is busy.
38:39Member, please.
38:41So she quit, eh?
38:43Well, I heard different.
38:45Why don't you go back to the dam?
38:50Helen Malloy?
38:52Oh, she isn't here anymore.
38:54She got fired.
38:56Listen, funny face, you tell anyone that again,
38:58I'm going to smack you right across the kisser.
39:00Oh!
39:01Oh, isn't the half of it, sister?
39:06Hello?
39:08Oh, yes, Red, the line's through okay.
39:11Listen, Red, there's some dirty work going on around here,
39:14and I'm going to tell a certain guy the truth.
39:16I know just how you feel, Donnie, and I don't blame you.
39:19But you mustn't say anything.
39:21Helen did a neat job, and we can't butt in unless she asks us to.
39:25Yeah.
39:26Okay, see you later.
39:29Hey, give me a hand, will you?
39:31Sure.
39:38So Campbell beat your time, huh?
39:41What are you driving at?
39:43You were kind of stuck on that Malloy girl, weren't you?
39:45What's it to you?
39:47Ain't you heard the news yet?
39:49She spent the night up at Campbell's cabin at Mirror Lake.
39:51Yeah?
39:53Well, just so you won't repeat that,
39:55I'm going to sew your mouth up for you.
40:02In case you forget it, I'm still stuck on the Malloy girl.
40:23Well, what are you doing here?
40:25Well, I was wondering,
40:27could you spare a cup of coffee for a lineman who's out?
40:28Out of work? Since when?
40:30Since a little while ago.
40:32He ever tied the can to both of us.
40:34What did you do to Heaver?
40:36Me? I didn't do nothing.
40:38Oh, well, Red hung a cup on his chin.
40:41Oh, well, in that case,
40:43I'll get you two cups of coffee.
40:45Come on.
40:46Well.
40:48Hello, Helen.
40:50Hello. Mother gave me your message.
40:52Why didn't you come over to the house?
40:54Well, he never did like Shorty and me.
40:57You know that.
40:59Don't lie, Red.
41:01Dottie told me the whole story.
41:03Well, forget it.
41:05Gee, things sure turned out fine, didn't they?
41:08I tried to help out, but I couldn't.
41:10I'm sorry, Helen.
41:12It's all right.
41:14It's all right.
41:15Things turned out fine, didn't they?
41:17I tried to help a friend
41:19and get you and Shorty in a jam
41:21and you both lose your jobs.
41:23Well, what about you?
41:25Don't worry about me. I live here.
41:27Well, that's just it.
41:29When Shorty and I first hit this place,
41:31I said, this is a great spot to settle down.
41:33And I'm coming back.
41:35Do you have to leave, Red?
41:37You gotta have a job.
41:39I'm a good lineman.
41:41And Chicago needs me pretty bad.
41:43I'll never forget the first time I saw you.
41:45Remember the time I asked you for the dance
41:47and they bounced me right out of the hole on my ear?
41:49I'll miss you, Red.
41:51Will you?
41:53No kidding.
41:55That's all I want to know.
41:57Come on, I'll take you home.
41:59Don't you think we ought to wait for Shorty and Dottie?
42:01Well, they'll probably got some things
42:03they want to talk over themselves.
42:05Can you imagine that mug falling for Dottie?
42:07Oh, Dottie's a swell kid.
42:09Yeah.
42:11Come on, Dad, shut off the radio.
42:13It's time to go to bed.
42:15Oh, Mom, I wish I could stay up and listen
42:17to that Boy Scout rally from England.
42:19Well, how much longer have you got to wait?
42:21Well, don't get here till 5 o'clock in the morning.
42:235 o'clock?
42:25Oh, you know, the difference in time.
42:27Well, I'll tell you what you do.
42:29You take the alarm clock, set it for 5,
42:31you can get up and hear it.
42:33That's okay.
42:35But don't forget to call me at 7.
42:37Barometer at 5 a.m., 2907.
42:42And falling fast.
42:45Heavy rains in north and northeast.
43:16Mr. Campbell.
43:18Mr. Campbell, you better come down and look at the dam.
43:20The water's punched quite a hole in the south end.
43:22Right with you.
43:28There it is, boss.
43:32Come on!
43:38Hello!
43:45Hello!
43:50It's dead.
43:52You go shut the safety gates into the powerhouse.
43:54I'm going up to the ranger's cabin and broadcast a warning.
43:56Okay.
44:02There's a crack in the dam. I'm afraid she's going out.
44:04I want to broadcast a warning.
44:06Okay.
44:08There'll be a million tons of water if she gets loose.
44:10All right, go ahead.
44:12What's your number?
44:13Ranger station, H2QL.
44:15The Riverdale Dam is going out.
44:20The Riverdale Dam is going out.
44:22Get out of the valley to higher ground.
44:30There she goes!
44:34The Riverdale Dam has come out.
44:36Get out of the valley to higher ground.

50:34They have medical aid with them.
50:36Hello, hello.
50:38Sorry, I can't get through in that line.
50:40I gave them the message 15 minutes ago.
50:42Uh-oh, here come the Marines.
50:44Shall we join them?
50:46I thought I told you to get out of here.
50:48You're crazy. Now, come on, get out.
50:50Wait, Red, see if you can help me with the board.
50:52I've got to get a call through the emergency relief director.
50:54Now, I know you're crazy.
50:56I've got to get that line through.
50:58I'm going to stay here and see what I can do.
51:00And take Dottie with you.
51:02Yeah, double check. Come on, Dottie.
51:04See you later.
51:06Hello, Jasper.
51:08Hey, and don't forget to bring that boat back.
51:10This place is about washed out.
51:12Hello, Jasper.
51:14The line's still dead.
51:16Try them again.
51:18Not above.
51:20Now, we've got to get out of here.
51:22I can't fix that.
51:24I think you're right.
51:26Come on, let's go.
51:57Come here.
52:20Well, where do we go from here?
52:22I've got my own ideas about that.
52:24And what might they be?
52:26I'm going to find me a justice of the peace that can swim.
52:29Red, are you proposing to me?
52:32You said it, and it's going to stick.
52:34I'm nuts about you.
52:36Oh, me too, Red.
52:38Well, let's get out of here, find a minister,
52:40and start on our honeymoon.
52:42Where will we go?
52:44That's up to you.
