00:00 It's new, it's different, it's all alive.
00:02 See the fabulous Little Egypt,
00:03 who once danced for the Queen of England.
00:05 Little Egypt, the shimmy dancer.
00:07 Now, in all confidence, folks,
00:08 for those of you who've never seen the female figure
00:11 in delicious movement from head to toe,
00:13 you can see it here for only 25 cents,
00:15 one quarter of a dollar at two bits.
00:17 (crowd chattering)
00:20 - Boy, ain't this the meatiest dead gum thing
00:26 you ever seen?
00:28 - Virginia City's really come of age.
00:29 Now that the carnival circuit has hit it.
00:33 - Oh, I can't stand him, look at him.
00:35 Supposedly he went amiss.
00:36 - Oh, he amiss?
00:38 - Well, you don't look very scared, Jennifer.
00:43 - What's there to be scared of, huh?
00:45 I'd give anything in the world to change places
00:47 with that girl up there.
00:58 - Well, Adam, I guess you and I better get on our way.
01:00 We've been here longer than we planned.
01:02 Harriet, Jennifer, good night.
01:05 Joe, you promised Mr. Beale faithfully
01:07 you'd get the girl some by 10 o'clock tonight.
01:09 - Right.
01:10 - Mr. Cartwright, please.
01:12 Do you have to remind me?
01:14 - Don't worry, Pa, I'll keep an eye on him.
01:15 - Good.
01:16 - Sure, Pa, but who's gonna keep an eye on him?
01:17 - Two bits, 25 cents, a quarter of a dollar.
01:19 - Virginia, horse will.
01:20 - The most delectable package of horse.
01:22 - Isn't that right, horse?
01:23 - Huh?
01:24 I mean, sir.
01:27 - He'll do fine, Pa, ask no more.
01:30 - You're going to see this charming little lady
01:31 move every muscle in her body.
01:34 (upbeat music)

01:57 (upbeat music)

02:13 (upbeat music)
02:16 (upbeat music)
02:21 - Good night, girls.
02:22 - Good night, horse.
02:23 - Joe.
02:24 - Good night, boss.
02:25 - Good night.
02:26 - Ain't this the beatinest nut burn thing
02:33 you ever seen, Joe?
02:34 - No, you're just not kidding.
02:36 - Looking at anything special, Garner?
02:39 - That girl, the redhead, she looks familiar.
02:42 - Hey, you reckon what we'll take you in first?
02:44 - Hey, how about the mystic tent?
02:45 I'd like to have my fortune told, all right?
02:47 - That's what I'd like to hear about.
02:48 Wouldn't you, Harriet?
02:49 - Not if it's any bad news, I wouldn't.
02:52 - She's been plastered all over the front pages
02:54 of the San Francisco paper for the past couple of months.
02:58 That's Joshua Beale's daughter.
03:00 - Joshua Beale?
03:02 The silver kid?
03:04 He's one of the richest men in the world.
03:06 (chuckles)
03:08 - Stop dreaming, Garner.
03:09 - Before the big show begins,
03:10 the most electrifying theft act ever to appear
03:13 on the Midway West of the Mississippi.
03:16 - Just once in my life,
03:17 I'd like to get my hands on some real money.
03:19 What do you suppose Beale figures that daughter's worth?
03:23 - More money than we'll ever see, Garner.
03:28 (crowd chattering)
03:31 - Hey, Hoss, you gonna let this guy read your future?
03:44 - I don't know, I might just take him on.
03:46 Ever since that old Paiute squaw read my palm
03:48 and told me I was gonna be taking that long trip,
03:50 I've been plumb off my feet.
03:52 I can't eat but five or six meals.
03:53 (laughing)
03:55 (upbeat music)
03:58 - Hey.
03:59 (crowd applauding)
04:02 - Now, if one of you will give to my assistant
04:11 some personal object.
04:13 Don't be afraid, ladies and gentlemen.
04:23 Nothing will happen to it.
04:24 If you please, some personal object.
04:28 (crowd chattering)
04:30 - Are you ready, Mr. Wizard?
04:34 - I am ready.
04:37 - Then can you tell me what I'm holding in my hand?
04:39 - I see a round object of precious metal.
04:44 I hear a strange sound, a very strange sound.
04:51 I believe it is a gold pocket watch.
04:55 (crowd applauding)
04:58 - Joe, how do you reckon he does that?
05:02 - He's a heck out of me.
05:03 - You think it's some sort of trick?
05:04 - Of course it's a trick.
05:06 - How do you know?
05:07 - Well, I just knew--
05:08 - Silence.
05:08 And now I will bring to you
05:14 one of the most astounding disappearance acts
05:17 in the annals of all magic.
05:19 And tonight, just to prove to you
05:23 that this is truly an outstanding and remarkable feat,
05:27 instead of using my regular assistant,
05:30 I shall ask one of you to assist me.
05:32 (crowd gasping)
05:36 Is there a young lady in the audience
05:37 who would like to disappear for a few minutes?
05:40 I assure you it's a thrill
05:42 that you have never realized before.
05:44 - I'd like to try.
05:45 - Hey, Jeannie, you know what your pa said
05:47 about leaving little Joe's side?
05:49 - He didn't say anything about this.
05:50 And besides, this'll be fun.
05:52 - But if you disappear,
05:54 that's gonna be leaving his side, ain't it?
05:56 - Jennifer, sit down.
05:58 Everybody's looking at you.
05:59 - Joe, don't you think you ought to stop her?
06:03 - I'm gonna let her go ahead.
06:04 It's just a trick.
06:05 - It seems a shame to make
06:08 such a pretty young lady disappear.
06:11 Don't worry, young man.
06:13 I'll have her back to you soon enough.
06:14 Now, you see, ladies and gentlemen,
06:20 that this is an ordinary wardrobe shop.
06:23 Young lady.
06:28 (machine whirring)
06:31 - Where am I?
06:56 Backstage?
06:58 - And I opened it.
07:00 (audience applauding)
07:03 - Why was she always doing things like that?
07:06 Like the time she ran off to San Francisco.
07:09 - I kinda like it.
07:10 Shows she's got a lot of spunk.
07:12 - The young lady will reappear
07:13 when the mystic spirits are willing.
07:16 And now, ladies and gentlemen,
07:17 while that beautiful young lady
07:18 is out there floating around in space,
07:21 I offer you for two bits, a quarter part of a dollar,
07:24 this elixir of life.
07:25 This elixir of life.
07:27 - You know, young lady,
07:28 since you were kind enough to join our act,
07:30 I hope you'll be discreet enough to keep our secret.
07:32 I'm Phil Reed, owner of the show.
07:34 - Oh, I won't tell.
07:36 But I must say,
07:37 I certainly expect much more than a backdoor in a trunk.
07:40 - Hmm.
07:41 I guess our magic is pretty simple, huh?
07:44 - Is it?
07:44 You know,
07:50 this is the most fascinating place I've ever seen.
07:52 - I think you better get back in the trunk.
07:54 It won't take long before he sells all the snake oil.
07:57 - Even when you know the tricks.
07:59 There's such a strange atmosphere.
08:01 Such an air of excitement about it all.
08:03 - It's a living.
08:05 - Oh, I'm sure it's much more than that.
08:08 Much more.
08:13 - I think you better get back to your friends, huh?
08:17 - Please, Mr. Reed.
08:19 I can get away from my friends.
08:21 - Now look, if you're not in that box when he opens it,
08:24 the whole act is gonna be ruined.
08:26 - Isn't there any way I can change your mind, Mr. Reed?
08:33 - Aren't you afraid of what could happen to you
08:37 in a circus side show alone?
08:40 - Afraid?
08:40 (Phil laughs)
08:42 Mr. Reed,
08:43 I'm not afraid of anything.
08:46 - I'll bet you're not.
08:47 (crowd chattering)
08:51 (dramatic music)
08:54 - And now, ladies and gentlemen,
09:07 I think that the beautiful young lady
09:09 who has been so far away from us may have returned.
09:12 (dramatic music)
09:17 (crowd applauding)
09:20 (dramatic music)
09:23 - Hey, where'd you go off to?
09:32 - Far, far away.
09:33 - No, really.
09:34 - It's all the way behind that curtain over there.
09:36 - Well, Jennifer, aren't you gonna tell us about it?
09:38 - Maybe, someday.
09:39 - And that's only the beginning, folks, only the beginning.
09:42 I wanna call your attention
09:44 to one of the most sensational acts
09:45 ever presented west of the Mississippi.
09:47 In just a few moments, directly next door,
09:50 we're going to present
09:51 that 350-pound strong man, Hercules.
09:54 Just follow me right this way.
09:56 The greatest act of his kind ever presented on our Midway.
10:00 Right this way, you'll love it.
10:01 It's the most sensational, outstanding act.
10:04 (crowd chattering)
10:06 And now, ladies and gentlemen,
10:07 Hercules is going to bend this solid one-inch iron bar
10:11 like it was made out of this sawdust on the floor.
10:14 Hercules.
10:15 (dramatic music)
10:18 (dramatic music)
10:21 How about that, folks?
10:26 (crowd chattering)
10:28 Hey.
10:29 (crowd applauding)
10:31 Would you like to examine that bar, sir,
10:34 to see that it's genuine?
10:36 Thank you.
10:37 (Hercules barking)
10:39 Would you like to examine this, sir?
10:41 Try that right in there, sir.
10:43 (Hercules panting)
10:46 (dramatic music)
10:50 (crowd gasping)
10:53 Ladies and gentlemen, I...
10:55 - What are you, smart aleck?
10:57 - Ladies and gentlemen,
11:00 if there's anybody in the audience
11:02 who doubts the genuine strength of Hercules
11:04 or thinks that this is some form of trickery,
11:07 Hercules is now ready to match his strength
11:10 against any two men in the audience.
11:12 And furthermore, we're prepared to offer 50 bucks,
11:15 $50 to any man or woman
11:17 who can force Hercules across this white line
11:21 within the time limit of one minute.
11:23 Do we have any takers, huh?
11:25 What about you two stalwart young gentlemen down there,
11:27 huh, with the two beautiful young ladies, huh?
11:30 - Us?
11:31 - Yeah, you two.
11:32 Come on up, boys, and show the girls how strong you are.
11:35 - Go on, little Joe.
11:36 You're not afraid to at least try, are you?
11:39 Why, he's bigger than anything.
11:41 Would you like to try your luck?
11:43 - Come on, Us, I think we can take him.
11:44 - You?
11:45 - Let's go.
11:46 (audience applauding)
11:49 - All right, gentlemen,
11:53 the time limit is one minute, remember?
11:55 To pull Hercules across this white line.
11:57 Are you ready?
11:58 Go!
12:00 And now there, ladies and gentlemen,
12:02 is the greatest advertisement in the world
12:04 for our elixir of life.
12:06 Would you believe it, folks, at one time,
12:08 this poor boy was only a 74-pound weakling.
12:11 But after 90 days and 90 nights,
12:14 Hercules, taking this elixir of life,
12:17 today, look at the results.
12:18 355 pounds of solid blubber, or muscle.
12:22 There he is, folks, Hercules.
12:25 One time, a 74-pound weakling.
12:27 Come on.
12:29 (audience gasping)
12:32 Hey, hey, all right, all right, Hercules is the winner.
12:35 Hercules is the winner now.
12:36 Thank you very much, gentlemen.
12:38 Thank you, let's keep moving it along, folks.
12:40 Keep it moving along.
12:41 Some wonderful shows out on the midway.
12:43 See the sword swallower and the fire eater
12:45 who swallows hot coals right out of the--
12:47 - Jennifer's gone.
12:48 She disappeared out of the tent.
12:50 - She's gone, did you see her leave?
12:51 - I was watching the stage.
12:53 Why is she always doing things like this?
12:55 - Oh, it's probably just her idea of some kind of a joke.
12:58 - We gotta find her.
12:59 - No, we're gonna find her.
13:01 And when we find her, I'm gonna hogtie her
13:02 for the rest of the evening.
13:03 Come on.
13:04 - Come on, let's go.
13:05 Let's find out where she could be.
13:07 (light music)
13:09 - You didn't do so good tonight out there, Adela.
13:16 - Don't start an argument with me, Phil.
13:18 Not tonight, I'm tired.
13:19 - I'm talking about the good of the show.
13:22 Those rubes pay their money to see you give a performance.
13:25 - How long do I have to keep on doing this?
13:28 You told me a year ago we could get married,
13:29 I could get out of the act and help you run the show.
13:32 - Next time you go on, you give them their money's worth.
13:35 (light music)
13:38 - Another argument?
13:47 - No, not really.
13:49 Just that I know him so well.
13:52 He saw a pretty young girl out in the audience tonight,
13:56 captured his fancy.
13:57 He looks at her, wanting her, and then he looks at me.
14:05 - Why don't you let me be the mystic in the show, huh?
14:07 I'll tell you what we'll do.
14:11 As soon as Hercules finishes his act,
14:13 the three of us will go out
14:14 and have a cup of coffee together.
14:16 I'll tell your fortune.
14:18 (Adela laughs)
14:20 (light music)
14:24 (people chattering)
14:27 - Oh, Mr. Reed, I was looking for you.
14:39 - Well, I can't say I'm not flattered.
14:42 What are you doing wandering around out here alone?
14:44 - What do you propose to do about it?
14:46 Send me back again?
14:48 - Is there any reason why I shouldn't?
14:49 - Just one, Mr. Reed.
14:51 It wouldn't do any good.
14:53 - How does your father put up with you?
14:55 - Oh, Father, he just doesn't understand me.
14:59 He doesn't realize I'm not as conservative
15:01 as young ladies of his day.
15:03 - Why don't we go someplace where we can talk?
15:07 - I was hoping you'd say that.
15:09 - My wagon's right here.
15:10 - Let's go.
15:11 (people chattering)
15:16 (light music)
15:22 (people chattering)
15:25 - Someday I'll kill him for what he does to her.
15:29 - Poor Hercules.
15:31 Do you think that will make her love him?
15:34 - I had no idea a sideshow wagon would be like this.
15:42 - Well, not all of them are,
15:43 but there has to be some compensation for owning the show.
15:47 - I'm sure there must be.
15:48 - Now, what do you mean by that?
15:52 - Let's say compensation such as
15:55 entertaining young ladies in your private quarters.
15:59 Isn't that right, Mr. Reed?
16:00 - You're a very attractive young lady.
16:04 - Thank you.
16:05 You're a very handsome man.
16:07 Now, Mr. Reed, I thought we came in here to talk.
16:13 - Can't you knock?
16:16 - I can if I want to.
16:20 - Hello, Miss Beale.
16:21 - I didn't tell you my name.
16:23 - Oh, I know your name.
16:25 I know your father's name, too, Joshua Beale,
16:28 the richest man on the Comstock.
16:31 How much do you suppose you're worth
16:32 to that father of yours, Miss Beale?
16:34 - Are you out of your mind, Gurner?
16:37 - I, Mr. Reed, or you, if you miss this chance,
16:40 we can break camp tonight.
16:42 By tomorrow morning, we can be over the mountain
16:43 and well on our way to Placerville.
16:45 All you have to do is write a note to Joshua Beale.
16:49 One million dollars.
16:51 That's all it'll cost him
16:51 to get his pretty little girl back home.
16:53 - You'll never get away with this.
16:56 - With your help, I can, Reed.
16:58 Listen, Reed, one million dollars.
17:00 You know what that could mean?
17:03 You always wanted to make some big money.
17:06 Shut up, don't scream, lady.
17:12 This is a sharp knife.
17:13 - Where do you think you'd hide her?
17:15 - I thought you'd figure out a way.
17:16 You ought to hold her like I'm doing.
17:19 You don't know how good it feels to hold a million dollars.
17:23 We're gonna have to tie her up, Phil.
17:27 Get the rope, it's right behind you.
17:28 Go on, Phil.
17:31 (dramatic music)
17:39 (dramatic music)
17:41 (dramatic music)
17:44 (dramatic music)
17:49 (dramatic music)
17:52 (dramatic music)
18:21 - You're a good girl, Daisy.
18:23 Just keep quiet about it.
18:24 Anybody asks you, you haven't seen anything,
18:27 you understand?
18:28 You've always been my favorite, Daisy.
18:31 (Daisy laughs)
18:33 You can have a job with me as long as you want it.
18:35 Just keep quiet about it.
18:38 You don't know anything.
18:39 Okay?
18:42 (dramatic music)
18:45 (Daisy laughs)
18:48 - Hey, Joe, I'll ask this fella here.
18:58 - It's only two bits, 25 cents,
18:59 a quarter mile of a dollar on the inside.
19:01 - Excuse me.
19:02 - Just step right in.
19:03 - You ain't seen a little redheaded girl about so high,
19:06 have you?
19:07 - Why don't you look inside, buddy?
19:08 Get a ticket right over there.
19:10 Right this way, folks, follow me.
19:13 (men chattering)
19:15 - Ain't no use in asking him.
19:30 He's got a gullet full of sword in him.
19:33 - He wouldn't tell you anything anyway.
19:35 These carny people stick together
19:36 tighter than those bartenders in San Francisco
19:38 the time they tried to Shanghai our pop.
19:40 - How do we know she's even here at all?
19:42 - Where else would she be?
19:44 - Salt Lake or St. Louis for all we know.
19:48 - Boss, I think we can cover more ground if we split up.
19:50 Why don't you and Harry look out here?
19:51 I'll check behind those tents.
19:53 - All right, you be careful, you hear?
19:54 - Right.
19:56 - Dad, don't want him to get mixed up
19:57 with some of the dangest women I ever saw.
19:59 - Now you be careful what you say, horse.
20:02 Jennifer's my best friend.
20:03 - Now listen, if you should hang close to her,
20:06 why don't you tell her to be real friendly
20:07 and come on back here?
20:08 (dramatic music)
20:12 (people chattering)
20:15 - Yes, what is it?
20:25 - I saw your wagon.
20:26 I was just trying to find out
20:26 who's in charge of the show.
20:28 - I am.
20:28 Why, do you have a complaint?
20:30 - No, no complaints.
20:31 See, I came here with a girl tonight.
20:32 Now she's disappeared.
20:34 I just wondered if you might've seen her.
20:36 - Sonny, I see an awful lot of people
20:38 and happily all paying customers.
20:40 - Yeah, well, about this girl.
20:41 Her name's Jennifer, Jennifer Beal.
20:43 She's 18, she has light red hair, brown eyes.
20:47 - Now from your description,
20:48 I can understand why you feel badly about losing her.
20:51 But you know what they say.
20:52 They don't always go home with the fellas that brought 'em.
20:55 Sorry, I can't help you.
20:56 (dramatic music)
20:59 (people chattering)
21:02 (dramatic music)
21:25 - I'll come in.
21:29 (dramatic music)
21:31 - My name's Joe Cartwright.
21:32 I just wondered if--
21:33 - You're a little young for this sort of thing,
21:35 aren't you, Joe Cartwright?
21:37 - Oh, look, you don't understand.
21:39 You see, I didn't come here to,
21:40 well, what I mean is--
21:43 - Exactly what do you mean, Joe?
21:45 - Well, I'm sorry I barged in on you like this,
21:47 Miss Lillegit.
21:49 - Call me Della.
21:50 - Thanks, Della.
21:51 See, I brought my girl to the show tonight.
21:53 - Yes, I remember seeing her.
21:55 She's very pretty.
21:56 - No, she's disappeared.
21:56 I've been all over the carnival asking questions.
21:58 Nobody seems to want to give me any answers.
22:00 That's why when I saw your light, I--
22:02 - Sure.
22:03 It hurts to lose someone, doesn't it?
22:09 - Oh, it's not quite as painful as all that.
22:12 It's just that I am supposed to make sure she's all right.
22:15 I don't think she's run off with another fella.
22:17 - All right, tell me about her.
22:19 Who is she?
22:20 - Her name's Jennifer Beal.
22:21 - Well, is there anything special about her
22:24 or some reason someone might want to harm her?
22:27 - Yeah, there's one big one.
22:30 Her father's one of the richest men on the comp staff.
22:32 - Yes, that is a reason.
22:35 You stay here, Joe.
22:38 I'll go ask some questions.
22:39 Maybe I can find your girl for you.
22:46 - Thanks, Della.
22:47 (people chattering)
22:50 - What you doing here, boy?
23:01 You looking for something to steal?
23:03 - Now, wait a minute, mister.
23:06 I'm no thief.
23:07 - Well, I think you are.
23:08 I think we better teach you a lesson.
23:10 - Now, look, wait a minute, fellas.
23:14 We can talk.
23:15 (men grunting)
23:18 (bell ringing)
23:29 - A good job, boys.
23:36 Very good.
23:37 That'll teach him from snooping around, huh?
23:38 Wait a minute.
23:42 Is this his gun?
23:44 - That's right.
23:46 Go ahead.
23:46 (dramatic music)
23:49 - Hello, Della.
23:55 How'd you do?
23:56 - Pretty well.
23:57 How did you do?
23:59 - What's that supposed to mean?
24:00 Nothing on your mind?
24:02 - Well, a young man just paid me a visit in my tent,
24:06 and it seems he lost his girlfriend.
24:10 (laughing)
24:11 - Well, what's that got to do with me?
24:13 - Well, it just sounded familiar, that's all.
24:15 - Oh, honey.
24:15 Nico, we weren't gonna have any more of those suspicions.
24:21 - I saw you talking to a girl earlier, Phil,
24:23 and I saw you bring her in here.
24:25 - Mm-hmm.
24:26 And if you'd hung around a few minutes,
24:27 you would've seen her leave.
24:29 Oh, she was a child.
24:31 An innocent kid looking for adventure.
24:34 I got rid of her fast.
24:35 - You are telling me the truth, aren't you, Phil?
24:39 You're not lying to me.
24:40 - Oh, Della, there's nobody else but you.
24:43 Can't you believe that?
24:44 - I'm sure.
24:46 I can believe it.
24:47 - Well, then let's forget about the girl.
24:49 I saw the kid who visited you in your tent.
24:52 I told him maybe his girl saw a boy she liked better
24:54 and went home with him.
24:55 - I guess that's what she did.
24:58 - Sure.
24:59 Now, come on, you're tired.
25:01 Get a little rest because we're pulling out tonight.
25:04 - Tonight? - Mm-hmm.
25:05 - Why tonight?
25:06 I thought we were going to play this stand
25:07 for the rest of the week.
25:08 - We were.
25:10 But I changed my mind.
25:12 - See you later.
25:13 - You have got the girl, haven't you, Phil?
25:17 - Are we gonna start that all over again?
25:18 - Stop lying to me.
25:19 I know who she is and what you're trying to do.
25:23 - All right, so you know.
25:25 Della, this is the biggest thing that ever happened to us.
25:28 - Do you think you can kidnap Joshua Beale's daughter
25:30 and get away with it?
25:31 - She fell into our laps.
25:33 I didn't invite her in here, she walked in.
25:35 She's worth a million dollars to us.
25:37 Do you know the kind of life we can have
25:39 with a million dollars?
25:41 - Phil, I love you.
25:44 I guess I always will.
25:45 But I'd rather see you dead
25:47 than mixed up in something like this.
25:48 - Della, we're not gonna harm the girl.
25:51 When Joshua Beale pays off, we'll turn her loose.
25:53 - How can you stand there
25:54 and say you're going to turn her loose?
25:56 Don't you know she'll remember you?
25:58 If you go through with this, you can't turn her loose.
26:00 - Who said anything about turning her loose?
26:02 Does she know where the girl is?
26:08 - No.
26:10 - You shouldn't have told Della about the girl, Phil.
26:11 - I didn't tell her, she figured it out.
26:13 - Well, that's too bad.
26:14 Yes, that's very bad, isn't it, Phil?
26:17 - All right, it's too bad.
26:18 (dramatic music)
26:21 (men shouting)
26:36 (men shouting)
26:39 - I don't know where else we can look.
26:45 We done covered every inch of this carnival.
26:47 - Twice.
26:49 - Yeah, I think I might as well be getting you on home,
26:53 Harriet, there ain't no use in your folks
26:54 saying you disappeared, too.
26:56 Wonder what happened to little Joe?
26:58 - Hoss?
26:59 - Hey, Joe, what happened?
27:04 What's the matter, boy?
27:05 - Four guys just piled hemp in there.
27:07 I'll be all right in a minute.
27:09 - What happened to your gun?
27:11 - Yeah, they must have taken it after they beat me up.
27:15 Well, you know, there's something real wrong
27:16 around here, Hoss.
27:17 I got dumped because I was asking questions about Jennifer.
27:20 - You mean this is just one of her jokes?
27:22 You think something's happened to her?
27:24 - Hey, listen, Hoss, you take Harriet home.
27:26 On the way, stop by, tell Sheriff Brady to get over here.
27:28 The carnival's as quick as he can.
27:30 - What are you gonna be doing in the meantime?
27:32 - Well, the only thing I can do, keep on looking.
27:34 - Joe, you gotta find her.
27:36 - Yeah, Harriet, I know.
27:38 - I'll bring the sheriff myself.
27:39 Be back in a minute, come on.
27:40 - All right.
27:41 - Joe.
27:49 Joe, what happened to you?
27:51 Where were you?
27:52 - Oh, honey, that's a fine question for you to ask me.
27:55 I've had your four friends work me over.
27:57 - Work you over?
27:58 Joe, I didn't.
27:59 I've got to talk to you.
28:02 It's about Jennifer.
28:03 (footsteps clomping)
28:06 - All right, you said you knew something about Jennifer.
28:11 - Please believe me, Joe,
28:12 I'm trying to help you find your girl.
28:13 She's somewhere here in the carnival.
28:15 - Oh, we're gonna find her, all right.
28:16 I've already sent for the sheriff.
28:18 - Please, Joe, let me do this my way.
28:20 Don't call in the sheriff.
28:22 The carnival people are good friends of mine.
28:23 They'll help.
28:24 - I've already seen the way they help.
28:25 I'll take the sheriff.
28:26 - But if the sheriff comes,
28:27 then a lot of innocent people will be hurt.
28:30 People I love and that are good people
28:31 that know nothing about this.
28:33 - I'm sorry, I can't help that.
28:35 - Joe, let me.
28:36 (gun firing)
28:36 - Della.
28:37 (dramatic music)
28:40 (gun firing)
28:43 - You killed her.
28:54 - No, no.
28:58 - Her killings, no.
28:59 - Della wouldn't want it that way.
29:01 (dramatic music)
29:04 - Come on, come on, Hercules.
29:09 Come on, I'm gonna kill you.
29:11 - No!
29:12 - Come on, boy.
29:16 (dramatic music)
29:18 - Where's the news at?
29:21 Where, what happened?
29:22 All right, quiet.
29:24 Quiet down, all of you.
29:25 I'm in charge here.
29:27 There's a lot of things I gotta know.
29:31 - Well, first of all, I didn't do it.
29:33 Second, they got Jennifer hit out around here someplace.
29:35 - You better forget about Jennifer.
29:36 There's been a murder here.
29:37 - Yeah, I know.
29:38 That girl was killed because she was trying
29:39 to help me find Jennifer.
29:41 - You know anything about this, Reed?
29:43 - Well, a boy talked to me.
29:44 I've questioned everybody in the show
29:45 and nobody knows anything about her.
29:47 - Is this your gun?
29:49 - Yes, it's my gun, but I didn't have it when this--
29:52 - I think you better come along with me.
29:54 - Look, I'm not gonna leave here till we find Jennifer.
29:56 - Son, I know Jennifer as well as you do, maybe better.
29:59 I had a posse out combing the hills for her
30:01 that time she ran off to San Francisco.
30:04 - Joe, maybe you ought not to make
30:05 any more trouble for yourself.
30:07 - Come along.
30:08 - Hey, look what's happened.
30:10 - Hey, you're going this way.
30:10 (men shouting)
30:13 - Cartman, in here.
30:18 I'm trying to help.
30:19 In here.
30:20 - I don't know what you're up to, mister, but thanks a lot.
30:28 - I'm not up to anything.
30:29 I'm Rudin.
30:31 I was Della Thompson's closest friend.
30:33 I don't believe you killed her.
30:35 - Ma'am, are you sure you didn't see him come by here?
30:39 - I didn't see anything.
30:41 I just sit here.
30:42 I don't see nothing.
30:43 - Sheriff, I know Little Joe didn't kill that woman,
30:49 but I'd a heap rather see him in your jail
30:50 than running loose around here.
30:53 Now, we're not gonna learn anything here.
30:55 Now, listen to me.
30:56 There's only so many wagons and so many tents,
30:59 so we'll search them one by one.
31:01 Hoss, you take one party.
31:03 I'll take the other.
31:04 - Right.
31:05 - It could be kidnapping.
31:15 I'm sure Della thought so too.
31:16 She was just getting ready to tell me something
31:19 when she was killed.
31:20 - I believe you, Joe,
31:23 but I don't know what to do about it.
31:26 - What can you do?
31:28 - Well, we're a funny bunch here.
31:29 In time, we get to believing our own acts.
31:33 Maybe I can do a little mind reading.
31:36 In here.
31:43 (dramatic music)
31:45 - There's no use searching for the girl in here, Hercules.
32:03 - I'm not looking for the girl.
32:03 I'm looking for the man who killed Della.
32:05 - Do you think I'd protect anyone that harmed Della?
32:08 - I gotta find him.
32:10 I gotta kill him with my bare hands.
32:12 - I always told Della I'd kill anybody that harmed her.
32:15 - I'm your friend, Hercules.
32:24 Don't you trust me?
32:25 - All I know is Della is dead.
32:26 You stay here.
32:41 I'm going out back.
32:42 (dramatic music)
32:45 You stay here.
32:56 (dramatic music)
32:58 - You there, Rodan?
33:17 - Yes, I'm here.
33:18 I told you there was no trick.
33:21 - I'll find him, and when I do, I'll kill him.
33:23 (dramatic music)
33:26 - I wish there was some way to convince him you were innocent.
33:33 - Instead of why?
33:34 - He'd make a good ally.
33:38 He's really a nice man,
33:40 and he was in love with Della Thompson.
33:42 - Him?
33:43 (dramatic music)
33:45 - We're all freaks here, one way or another.
33:49 Doesn't mean we don't have any heart.
33:53 - Thanks.
33:54 - What are you going to do?
33:59 - Keep on searching.
34:01 I know these folks are friends of yours,
34:02 but one of them's a killer.
34:04 I gotta get to Jennifer before he does.
34:06 (dramatic music)
34:14 (dramatic music)
34:17 - Don't make a sound.
34:25 - My, you're a forceful one, aren't you?
34:33 - Look, I'm terribly sorry about that, sir.
34:42 See, I thought you were gonna scream.
34:44 - Just because a handsome man came in my tent?
34:47 Why, what makes you think I'd scream?
34:50 Well, you're the one they're looking for, aren't you?
34:53 - Oh yeah, yeah, and then,
34:54 well, they're looking for me all over the place.
34:55 I think I better get out of here
34:57 before I get you in a lot of trouble.
34:58 - Don't go.
34:59 - Don't go?
35:00 - Maybe I'd like to get into a lot of trouble.
35:03 - Well, ma'am, maybe sometime we could talk.
35:07 - That's what they all say.
35:09 Now, why don't you just relax and we can get acquainted?
35:12 - Oh, ma'am, I just really don't think
35:14 this is a time to get acquainted.
35:17 - I saw you earlier this evening with that girl.
35:20 Now, I thought she was too young for you.
35:23 I think you'd prefer a more sophisticated lady like me.
35:27 Now, wouldn't you?
35:28 - Well, ma'am, I--
35:30 - Can I come in, ma'am?
35:31 - Quick, behind the dresses.
35:34 I'll protect you.
35:36 And after they've gone,
35:39 I'll come back.
35:40 - All right.
35:41 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:42 - All right.
35:43 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:44 - All right.
35:44 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:45 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:46 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:47 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:48 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:49 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:50 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:50 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:51 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:52 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:53 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:54 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:55 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:55 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:56 - I'll be back in a minute.
35:57 (somber music)
36:00 - Say, has anybody searched this wagon yet?
36:25 - I'm sure the other party searched it thoroughly.
36:28 They've searched here, Daisy, haven't they?
36:30 - Yes, they've searched very good.
36:31 - Well, I didn't see it.
36:32 I think I'll take a look.
36:33 - Sheriff, if you don't mind,
36:35 there are very few people that Daisy lets into her wagon.
36:38 I'd rather somebody search it that she knows.
36:40 You understand?
36:41 - Yeah, I think I understand.
36:44 - Gurno, why don't you take a look and satisfy the sheriff?
36:47 - Well, if that's what the sheriff wants.
36:50 (footsteps thudding)
36:53 - Look in there behind those clothes.
36:59 (dramatic music)
37:07 Gurner, look in the back of the wagon.
37:15 (dramatic music)
37:18 - Nobody here, Sheriff.
37:28 (Gurno sighs)
37:43 (footsteps thudding)
37:46 (dramatic music)
38:03 (gentle music)
38:12 (people chattering)
38:15 - Any luck at all?
38:24 - Nope.
38:25 Looks like that little brother of mine disappeared
38:27 as completely as that gal did.
38:29 - Well, Sheriff, are you convinced she's not here?
38:31 - I'll decide that.
38:33 - As you wish.
38:34 Just trying to cooperate.
38:36 - Sheriff, we gotta start tearing down camp.
38:38 We open in Placerville the day after tomorrow.
38:40 - Isn't that right, Mr. Reed?
38:42 - We're gonna find the guy that killed Della.
38:44 - There's coffee up in the cook tent.
38:46 Why don't we all settle down for a bit?
38:48 - It's a good idea, Mr. Rodean.
38:49 - Right this way, Sheriff.
38:50 (people chattering)
38:53 I'd like to talk to you, Phil.
38:57 - What about?
38:59 - I think you know.
39:00 - I'm no more of a mind reader than you are.
39:04 - No, but you are a carnival man.
39:06 A lot of people depend on you, Phil.
39:10 - Well, haven't I always come through for them?
39:12 - Yes, but will you come through for them now?
39:16 - You think I had something to do
39:19 with that girl's disappearance, don't you?
39:21 - I think you could shed some light on it, yes.
39:24 - Well, you're wrong.
39:27 - If I am, I'll back you up.
39:33 But if I'm right, I'll turn your people against you, Phil,
39:38 and I can do it.
39:40 - I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
39:42 - I'm sure you are.
39:43 - I'm not ready for that.
39:44 - I'm not ready for that.
39:46 - I'm not ready for that.
39:48 - I'm not ready for that.
