00:00:00the world within the last few years has become more and more aware of the population explosion
00:00:16we think of it in terms of human beings of how many will be able to survive on earth
00:00:21will they have enough clean air to breathe or any air for that matter will there be enough room to
00:00:26live in and enough food to feed an ever-increasing number of mouths nature up until now has maintained
00:00:33a carefully planned balance but conditions often change this pattern and tip scales against the plan
00:00:39this imbalance also takes place in the animal world this film which our researchers have gathered
00:00:44together was shot in australia in 1954 where the plague of rabbits has been and still is a threat
00:00:51rabbits so numerous that they threaten man's existence by devouring his crops killing animals
00:00:56and destroying property has man the right to defend himself against an enemy that threatens his life
00:01:02and property if so how by poison by traps and in so doing what does he do to the rest of the animal
00:01:10and insect life necessary to his existence rabbits which seem so cuddly as pets can become a menace
00:01:17they were first shipped to australia hoping they'd be a valuable addition to the food supply instead
00:01:23they proved to be a disaster rabbit drives and roundups have been called barbarous and cruel but
00:01:29some way must be found to curb their invasion australia is not the only place to have been overrun by
00:01:35rabbits all over the american west there have been similar outbreaks and the same battle lines have
00:01:40been drawn science is doing all it can to help control this population explosion but when this effort
00:01:47fails nature's balance gets out of hand right now a new plague of rabbits has broken out in the southwest
00:01:57as shown in these color films just received from our news team in arizona it's difficult to conceive that
00:02:03such an innocent furry rabbit scientifically known as lepas can be so destructive and as they multiply
00:02:11so does their demand for food in greece can this population explosion be contained
00:02:27so
00:05:11Hey, Frank.
00:05:12Take the truck and go straight out about a mile and a half and pick up my saddle, will
00:05:15you?
00:05:43Now, wait a minute.
00:05:44Not that guy.
00:05:45Why not?
00:05:46He's the one that got rid of your coyotes for you.
00:05:47Yeah, well, he's just a little bit too good.
00:05:49I haven't heard a coyote yapping around there for over a year.
00:05:52Now, that's terrific news for the rabbits, but it's lousy for me.
00:05:55I mean, there's a balance to these things, Elgin.
00:05:58It's tricky.
00:05:59Yeah, I know it is.
00:06:00Look, I got a thought.
00:06:01There's a young couple here from the east on an exchange program.
00:06:04The name's Bennett.
00:06:05They're looking for new ways to control insects without killing everything else at the same time.
00:06:08I have rabbits, not bugs.
00:06:11There's nothing left for a bug to live on.
00:06:13You trust me, Cole.
00:06:15They won't go around killing everything in sight.
00:06:17I'll get up there to see them right away.
00:06:23It sure stirred up a lot of bats just for these few specimens.
00:06:26You get it?
00:06:27Yeah.
00:06:28Here we go.
00:06:30Okay.
00:06:32Now, we got this one.
00:06:34Okay, honey, I think we got enough.
00:06:35Oh, all right.
00:06:36Go out here.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38Cute little guy, huh?
00:06:39Oh, there you go.
00:06:40Yeah, I think I'll put him right in there.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:42There we are.
00:06:43What are you doing that for, Daddy?
00:06:44What are you doing that for, Daddy?
00:06:45I'm trying to record their sound.
00:06:46Now, shish.
00:06:47Here comes Mr. Clark.
00:06:48So, why don't you girls go down and meet him, hmm?
00:06:49Okay, okay.
00:06:50I'll get it.
00:06:51I'll get it.
00:06:52I'll get it.
00:06:53I'll get it.
00:06:54I'll get it.
00:06:55I'll get it.
00:06:56I'll get it.
00:06:57I'll get it.
00:06:58I'll get it.
00:06:59I'll get it.
00:07:00I'll get it.
00:07:01I'll get it.
00:07:02What are you doing that for, Daddy?
00:07:05I'm trying to record their sound.
00:07:07Now, shish.
00:07:12Here comes Mr. Clark.
00:07:13So, why don't you girls go down and meet him, hmm?
00:07:16Okay, okay.
00:07:17Our daughter expresses a precocious interest in zoology,
00:07:20and all you can say is shh.
00:07:29Actually, your father was playing the overture from hair.
00:07:33You know how bats love hair.
00:07:35Now, you go play, sweetheart.
00:07:36Hi, Uncle Algin.
00:07:37Hi, Amanda.
00:07:38How are you, Jerry?
00:07:40Fine.
00:07:41How are you?
00:07:42Fine, thank you.
00:07:43Oh, good morning, Roy.
00:07:44Shh.
00:07:57Do you hear it?
00:07:58That's the cry of fear.
00:08:04Well, if we can just chase them away with that sound of fear,
00:08:07we'll be able to control their entire flight.
00:08:10Say, what do you plan to do with them then?
00:08:12By introducing them into areas infected with mosquitoes,
00:08:15they'll be able to do the same job that DDT does,
00:08:18without the side effects.
00:08:20I see.
00:08:21Well, that brings me to a favor, Ray.
00:08:23Cole Hillman, he's a rancher about 50 miles north of here.
00:08:27He'd rather put A&M on the map,
00:08:29that is, at least in football back in the 40s.
00:08:32And he does some scouting and fundraising for us.
00:08:34Well, he's really got a problem.
00:08:36A rabbit explosion.
00:08:37Now, he's fighting like the devil
00:08:39to keep him out of his irrigated land.
00:08:41But they've already eaten the range
00:08:43right out from under his cattle.
00:08:45Rabbits aren't exactly Roy's bag.
00:08:48Cole Hillman's on your side, Roy.
00:08:51He's trying to avoid poison.
00:08:53No good for him.
00:08:54But once those rabbits spread out,
00:08:56the other ranchers will bomb this whole country with cyanide.
00:09:00Uh-oh.
00:09:01All right, then.
00:09:02We'd better take a run up there this weekend.
00:09:05I'd rather you did it today.
00:09:07Hey.
00:09:08Up!
00:09:09Up!
00:09:10Up!
00:09:11Up!
00:09:12Up!
00:09:13Up!
00:09:14Up!
00:09:15Up!
00:09:16Up!
00:09:17Up!
00:09:18Whoa!
00:09:19Mommy!
00:09:20I like rabbits, Mommy!
00:09:21Mommy!
00:09:22I like rabbits, Mommy!
00:09:23Go up!
00:09:24Up!
00:09:25Up!
00:09:26Up!
00:09:27Up!
00:09:28Up!
00:09:29Up!
00:09:30Up!
00:09:31Up!
00:09:32Up!
00:09:33Up!
00:09:34Up!
00:09:35Up!
00:09:36Up!
00:09:37Up!
00:09:39Up!
00:09:40Up!
00:09:41Up!
00:09:42Out here in the Southwest, they're called silver loggers.
00:09:45These are all different.
00:09:47There was a fella that lives south of here about 10 miles.
00:09:51He used to raise domestic rabbits.
00:09:53But he had a fire, and a couple of hundred of them got away.
00:09:56Hmm.
00:09:57So these are Mongols.
00:09:58They have, uh, plagues of rabbits down in New Zealand, in Australia.
00:10:03Now, how'd they get rid of those?
00:10:05They've used poison, for one thing.
00:10:08But the poison killed the birds.
00:10:10And that resulted in the plague of grasshoppers, just as bad as the rabbits.
00:10:14If I sprayed poison, I'd have to pull my cattle off the range,
00:10:17and I'd have to dump them on the market at the worst time of the year.
00:10:20There might be another way to whip this problem, Cole.
00:10:23How?
00:10:24Hormones, which would interrupt their breeding cycle.
00:10:27Or a disease that would affect only the rabbits.
00:10:31How long can you hold out before using the cyanide?
00:10:34Oh, six or eight weeks until a young one show up.
00:10:37I'll tell you what I'd like to do.
00:10:39I'd like to get about a dozen of these adults and run some tests.
00:10:43Hm, that's simple.
00:10:44Just open the back of your camper, and they'll hop right in.
00:10:47Can I have these?
00:10:48You bet.
00:10:57Wish I had my own pony.
00:11:00My dad gave them to me.
00:11:01You can ride it sometime if you want to.
00:11:03I'd like that.
00:11:06Ow!
00:11:07What happened?
00:11:09A rabbit bit me.
00:11:10That's what happened.
00:11:11You don't have to punch any holes in that can, as far as I'm concerned.
00:11:14Better have that finger looked at.
00:11:16The bite of the lepas.
00:11:18That's a Latin word for rabbit.
00:11:19Can be dangerous.
00:11:19Well, Dr. Dirksen, I certainly appreciate your interest in this particular problem.
00:11:24Well, I'm interested in your experiment.
00:11:27Keep me posted.
00:11:28I certainly will.
00:11:31Aw, poor thing.
00:11:34Mommy?
00:11:35What then?
00:11:36What's a control group?
00:11:38Well, they get the same care as the others, but they don't get any of the medicines.
00:11:45Roy?
00:11:49Step aside, darling.
00:11:55What's the matter with him, Mommy?
00:11:58Well, we were trying to make Jack a little more like Jill, and Jill a little more like
00:12:03Jack, so they wouldn't keep having such large families.
00:12:07I simply can't shoot them full of hormones without setting their nervous system into shock.
00:12:13It can mean months developing the right lab procedure.
00:12:17Well, nothing seems to work.
00:12:19On the other hand, here's something I know they've never been exposed to before.
00:12:34Dr. Dirksen from the public health department sent it over this morning.
00:12:38Would you give me a clean rabbit?
00:12:39Oh, yeah.
00:12:41I wish I knew what the effects of this serum would be.
00:12:44Let's hope it works.
00:12:47Not that one, Mommy.
00:12:48It's my favorite.
00:12:50Apparently, this is a villain.
00:12:52And certain birth defects causes hereditary changes.
00:12:57Will it transmit to other rabbits?
00:12:59Well, I should hope so.
00:13:01Difficult to inject 10,000 to 15,000 wild rabbits.
00:13:04Right.
00:13:05Now, this substance, if we could affect the blood of 50 rabbits, it wouldn't take long for this change to take place in the entire population.
00:13:23Hello, Cole.
00:13:25No, not yet.
00:13:25I'm sorry.
00:13:26I'm sorry.
00:13:26Now, just a minute.
00:13:30Jerry?
00:13:37Yes, Cole.
00:13:38We're trying a new serum.
00:13:40We hope to inject 50 or so rabbits.
00:13:42If it works on them, it wouldn't take long before it would infect thousands.
00:13:46Now, sure.
00:13:49Yeah.
00:13:49Cole says the rabbits are getting meaner and hungrier.
00:13:53We could use another dozen here.
00:13:54He's got them ready to go.
00:13:56Would you mind picking them up for me?
00:13:58Of course not.
00:14:00Thanks, honey.
00:14:02You see, Cole, we have to keep a tight control on these test rabbits.
00:14:05Heaven help us if any of them should get away before we know the effects of this new serum.
00:14:10Sure, Cole.
00:14:11Jerry will be by this afternoon.
00:14:17Fine, Cole.
00:14:18I'll talk to you later.
00:14:20I'll take Amanda with me.
00:14:22Good.
00:14:26Amanda, would you please leave those rabbits alone?
00:14:29You said I could have one.
00:14:32Can I?
00:14:33Before you kill them.
00:14:35One from the control group?
00:14:37Well, all right.
00:14:38She seems to be the only one that gets along with them.
00:14:41Thank you, Daddy.
00:14:43Rub his foot while you're at it, honey, and see what kind of luck that brings us.
00:14:47As a matter of fact, rub all four of them.
00:14:54Damn, rabbit.
00:14:56Pardon me, ma'am.
00:14:58We're in there getting worse than we need her.
00:15:00They're in there.
00:15:06Romeo's not a bad rabbit.
00:15:08I don't care.
00:15:09You get him out of here, I won't be your friend.
00:15:11I won't do it.
00:15:13Those darn rabbits killed my chickens.
00:15:20I'm sorry, Amanda.
00:15:23Don't tell my mommy you ran away.
00:15:25Okay.
00:15:26You can say I'm keeping them for you.
00:15:29Come on.
00:15:29Okay.
00:15:30Since the injection, this rabbit has increased in size.
00:15:33If it keeps up, we'll have to get larger cages.
00:15:36One more week and these won't be babies anymore.
00:15:38Neither were the ones up at Cole Hillman's.
00:15:42The young will be coming out of their holes any day and starting their new generation.
00:15:46Well, I guess you ought to call Cole.
00:15:48If he's going to poison those fields, he'd better do it now.
00:15:50Well, I'm going to warn him.
00:15:53If he poisons the rabbits, he's going to kill off all the other animals.
00:15:56And it won't be long, he'll have nothing left but unredeemable wasteland.
00:15:59Well, if it don't work, Cole, I swear I'll send my planes over your land.
00:16:18This is the place to spray, the place to stop them.
00:16:22In two months from now, everything north of here will be eaten out.
00:16:25In the meantime, there'll be a burned-out strip nearly a mile wide.
00:16:30Between my property and everything south, there won't be a bush, a blade of grass, or a drop of water.
00:16:37All right, Frank, when you and Judd are...
00:16:39I still think poisoning's the better way to do it.
00:16:42Yeah, well, say thank you instead.
00:16:44Cole here is sacrificing his land to starve him out natural.
00:16:48Any help you need replanting or anything, call on me.
00:16:51I appreciate that, Arlen.
00:16:52Anytime you're ready, light it.
00:16:55You're open work.
00:17:25Oh, Roy, this was the, uh, first rangeland to get eaten clean.
00:17:45So I figure it might be the first one to come back.
00:17:50Instinctively, that's what they do.
00:17:52They'll come right back here.
00:17:54Roy?
00:17:57What kind of a track is that?
00:18:05No, I've never seen anything like that before.
00:18:07How about you, Cole?
00:18:11I don't know.
00:18:14It's got a couple of cow tracks in it.
00:18:17Besides that imprint, the depth of it, I'd say it weighed maybe 100, 150 pounds.
00:18:23Could it be a mountain lion?
00:18:26Well, it could be, but we haven't had any of those around here in a long time.
00:18:29Getting tired?
00:18:36Uh-uh.
00:18:37Want to do some more riding?
00:18:38Okay.
00:18:40I'd like you to meet a friend of mine, Captain Billy.
00:18:42He's got a gold mine over those hills back there.
00:18:45I, uh, I asked your ma.
00:18:47She says it's okay.
00:18:48A real gold mine?
00:18:50Well, he hasn't found much yet, but he says he's going to.
00:18:53Come on.
00:18:53Come on.
00:19:21Billy?
00:19:23Are you here, Captain Billy?
00:19:37Captain Billy?
00:19:41You go into the tunnel.
00:19:42See if you can find him.
00:19:44I'm going to look around out here.
00:19:45Okay.
00:19:46Go on.
00:19:46Captain Billy.
00:19:54Captain Billy?
00:19:55Captain Billy?
00:19:57Captain Billy?
00:19:59Where are you, Captain Billy?
00:20:02Are you in here, Captain Billy?
00:20:04Captain Billy?
00:20:18Captain Billy?
00:20:22Captain Billy?
00:20:23Amanda!
00:20:24Amanda!
00:20:25Amanda!
00:20:26Amanda!

00:21:08Daddy!
00:21:13Doctor?
00:21:14She'll be all right.
00:21:16Just a case of mild shock.
00:21:18Just let her rest.
00:21:19Are you sure?
00:21:20I'm sure.
00:21:21But if anything new develops, please call me.
00:21:25Right.
00:21:26Thank you for coming over, Doctor.
00:21:29Good night, Mr. Bennett.
00:21:30Good night, sir.
00:21:31You were in the miner's shack when you heard her screams?
00:21:34Yes, sir.
00:21:35Then what?
00:21:36I ran out and got her.
00:21:39She was just coming out of the mine shaft.
00:21:42You know, bloody murder.
00:21:43Did you see anything?
00:21:45Anything at all?
00:21:46I can't say I did, Mr. Bennett.
00:21:49Although there might have been something moving around just inside the shaft.
00:21:54I couldn't be sure.
00:21:56Everything happened too fast.
00:21:58Well, something scared her half to death.
00:22:00She just didn't imagine it.
00:22:02Amanda's too sensible.
00:22:03Daddy!
00:22:04Daddy!
00:22:05Daddy!
00:22:06Daddy!
00:22:07Oh, everything's gonna be all right, honey.
00:22:10Oh, my poor baby.
00:22:11I'm gonna talk to Dr. Dirksen.
00:22:13I'm gonna talk to Dr. Dirksen.
00:22:41υχo.
00:22:42Daddy!
00:22:43Daddy!
00:22:44I'm gonna talk to Dr. Murè‘—, Susann.
00:22:45Here comes the Hearst coming in.
00:22:46Well...

00:22:48Whoa, you'll have ladies in the chair.
00:22:49Lovely, Sh pied.
00:22:50You're welcome.
00:22:51Umm.

00:22:53Oh, your slogan, Mr. flew?

00:25:00I don't know.
00:25:01I don't know.
00:25:02I don't know.
00:25:03I don't know.
00:25:04I don't know.
00:25:05I don't know.
00:25:06I don't know.
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:08I don't know.
00:25:09I don't know.
00:25:10I don't know.
00:25:11I don't know.
00:25:12I don't know.
00:25:13I don't know.
00:25:14I don't know.
00:25:15I don't know.
00:25:16I don't know.
00:25:17I don't know.
00:25:18I don't know.
00:25:19I don't know.
00:25:20I don't know.
00:25:21I don't know.
00:25:22I don't know.
00:25:23I don't know.
00:25:24I don't know.
00:25:25I don't know.
00:25:26I don't know.
00:25:27I don't know.
00:25:29I don't know.
00:25:30I don't know.
00:25:31I don't know.
00:25:32I don't know.
00:25:33I don't know.
00:25:34What do they use on them?
00:25:36An axe?
00:25:37Beats me.
00:25:38I've never seen anybody cut up like that.
00:25:39Sheriff.
00:25:40For you.
00:25:41Where do you call till?
00:25:44Get some lab men out here and stay with them.
00:25:46Give them a hand.
00:25:47Yes, sir.
00:25:48Colby.
00:25:50What?
00:25:54Bring the body into town.
00:25:55Get Doc Wilson to do a post on him right away.
00:25:58I'll meet you at the office in 20 minutes.
00:26:03Well...
00:26:06Looks like we got another one on their hands.
00:26:09An old prospector lived up in the hills near the Hillman Ranch.
00:26:13Found his body in a mine shaft, packed to pieces.
00:26:18Just like that truck driver.
00:26:21In the smallest of objects, one can often find the world of discovery.
00:26:26A microscopic view of the surface of a blunt weapon...
00:26:29can lead to the arrest of a man halfway around the world.
00:26:32But, Mr. Leopold, where do those tin cans lead us?
00:26:36Well, for one thing, they were not open with an axe.
00:26:39Something punctured the metal, not too fast, but with great strength.
00:26:44Now, the crates on the truck weren't broken either.
00:26:47They've been gnawed.
00:26:49What?
00:26:50Nor chewed, bitten.
00:26:52In addition, traces of dried saliva were found on the cans, the boxes, and the victims.
00:27:04So, what have we got here? Vampires?
00:27:06Possibly.
00:27:07Well, frankly, Sheriff, off the top of my head...
00:27:10the only thing that could have caused this sort of destruction...
00:27:13would have been a...
00:27:15a saber-toothed tiger.
00:27:17As a matter of fact, a lot of them.
00:27:19Sheriff Cody, come in.
00:27:20This is Officer Hightower.
00:27:22I'm at the picnic grounds three miles east of the Hillman Ranch.
00:27:26I've never seen anything like this before.
00:27:29There's a family of four here.
00:27:31A man, a woman, and two children horribly mutilated.
00:27:34I'm standing by until the coroner arrives.
00:27:36Over.
00:27:37I've studied abnormalities and birth defects all my life.
00:27:40It's come pretty close to home for me.
00:27:42I see them all the time.
00:27:43Naturally, I'd like to believe they don't exist.
00:27:46Unfortunately, they do.
00:27:47But, Doctor, rabbits as big and as ferocious as wolves...
00:27:50it isn't conceivable.
00:27:51The genetic code of every living thing is contained in each cell of that organism.
00:27:54Now, assuming that the human being is a human being,
00:27:56is not a human being.
00:27:57I've studied abnormalities and birth defects all my life.
00:27:59It's come pretty close to home for me.
00:28:00I see them all the time.
00:28:01Naturally, I'd like to believe they don't exist.
00:28:02Unfortunately, they do.
00:28:03But, Doctor, rabbits as big and as ferocious as wolves?
00:28:07It isn't conceivable.
00:28:08The genetic code of every living thing is contained in each cell of that organism.
00:28:15Now, assuming inadvertently we introduced defective cells into that one rabbit,
00:28:21it's conceivable that we could have created the seeds for a mutated species.
00:28:26Amanda saw huge rabbits.
00:28:28It's just... it's just too hard to believe.
00:28:30And I don't think I'll be able to, not until I've seen one.
00:28:33All we have to go on is what Amanda had to say in that track that was trampled all over with.
00:28:38Well, the only thing we can do is gather our group together.
00:28:43Take another look around that area tomorrow.
00:28:45What about Sheriff Cody? Shouldn't we bring him along?
00:28:47I don't agree, Jerry. I don't think so.
00:28:49Can you imagine the kind of sensational publicity they would bring down on the university if it became generally known?
00:28:54I don't think we should tell anybody until we know what the score is.
00:28:57I think you're right.
00:28:58Honey, you call up Hillman.
00:29:00Tell him to expect us in the morning.
00:29:02Have him get ready some poison feed, cyanide, dynamite, anything else you can think of.
00:29:06Okay.
00:29:07And have him get a hold of Judd and Frank.
00:29:09They may as well go along with us tomorrow.
00:29:11Okay.
00:29:12I don't suppose there's a chance that you can bring back one of those rabbits alive.
00:29:15We'll bring back one of those rabbits alive.
00:29:16We'll bring back one of those rabbits alive.
00:29:45one of those rabbits we saw at the water hole.
00:29:53They certainly weren't made by human beings.
00:30:09How far in does it go?
00:30:15Oh, about two miles due north of the opening of the tunnel here.
00:30:20Any other way into it?
00:30:22Well, there's a vertical shaft at the other end, but it's been closed up for years.
00:30:28Elton, why don't you and Frank get half the dynamite and take a look up above?
00:30:32See if there are any other holes.
00:30:33Right.
00:30:39Judge, you run the hoses for the gas inside the tunnel, and I'll set the charges.
00:31:09Hello, Jerry.
00:31:20Jerry, Elgin here.
00:31:22Yes, Elgin, over.
00:31:24I'm up on top. Let me speak to Roy, over.
00:31:27Just a minute.
00:31:35Yes, Elgin, what'd you find?
00:31:36There are three holes here.
00:31:37Well, look around and make sure there aren't any others.
00:31:44Right.
00:31:48Hold on just a second, Roy.
00:31:49Roy.
00:31:49Listen.
00:32:00Listen.
00:32:02Bless him.
00:32:32Do you hear that?
00:32:41We sure do.
00:32:44Set your dynamite.
00:32:46We'll let you know when we're ready down here.
00:32:49We'll set off the charges at the same time.
00:32:54We got our hands full.
00:32:56We can't plug these up quick enough for me.
00:32:59Well, we got three holes to blow.
00:33:01You think we got enough dynamite to do it?
00:33:04Yeah, we'll make it.
00:33:05While you're setting up, I'll take a look around and see if there are any more.
00:33:08Let me take this.
00:33:13Thing?
00:33:14I'm going in there.
00:33:15You can't do that.
00:33:17I haven't got a choice.
00:33:18But why? We're going to blow it up right now.
00:33:20Whatever's back in there is a mystery.
00:33:22If we cave it in, we'll never know.
00:33:25I'm going to try to pull one of them out
00:33:26so I can analyze its blood and check its cells.
00:33:29If I can't do that, at least I'll take a picture of it.
00:33:32Wait a minute.
00:33:34Give me the rifle.
00:33:35Okay, let's go.
00:33:36Stay on the radio to Elgin and tell them we're going in there.
00:33:38Elgin, come in, Elgin.
00:34:07Elgin, come in.
00:34:10Elgin, come in.
00:34:24Elgin.
00:34:24Elgin.
00:34:25That seems to be the lot of them.
00:34:29You about ready?
00:34:31Yeah, just give me a couple more minutes.
00:34:34Oh, uh, Mrs. Bennett called.
00:34:38Oh?
00:34:40Bennett and Hillman have gone into the mine.
00:34:43Oh, no.
00:34:46Hello, Jerry. Come in. Come in, Jerry. This is Elgin.
00:34:52Yes, over.
00:34:53Look, we've got three holes about set to dynamite. Have they come out of there yet? Over.
00:34:59No, no, no.
00:35:01No, no, no.
00:35:03No, no, no.
00:35:05No, no, no, no.
00:35:07No, no, no, no.
00:35:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:15No, not yet. I hope it's soon.
00:35:26We must be in a half a mile by now.
00:35:29And they seem to be moving away from us.
00:35:45They should be coming out any minute. Over.
00:35:59I'll be standing by.
00:36:15How many tunnels do you suppose they are?
00:36:22We should have marked our way in case we have to get out in a hurry.
00:36:33Sounds like they're right around that corner.
00:36:35Don't you?
00:36:37The whole place might come down.
00:37:00They're as big as wolves.
00:37:02They look just as vicious.
00:37:07Nobody will believe this.
00:37:09Could this have been caused by the serum you injected in that one rabbit?
00:37:13I'm sure of it.
00:37:14It only takes one.
00:37:16There are probably thousands of them.
00:37:17This must be their breeding ground.
00:37:19Let's get the hell out of here.
00:37:28Left or right?
00:37:32Right.
00:37:37I got the detonator set.
00:37:42I'm ready to release the gas as soon as they come out.
00:37:46Okay.
00:38:07Dean's got the Sansa.
00:38:08To the other part.
00:38:09Okay, this is the secret.
00:38:11Oh.
00:38:13Look.
00:38:15Oh!
00:38:16Oh.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:19Oh, oh.
00:38:20Oh.
00:38:21Oh, oh.
00:38:22Oh!
00:38:23Oh!
00:38:24Oh!
00:38:25Oh, oh, oh!
00:38:28Oh, oh!
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:30Oh!
00:38:32Oh, oh.
00:38:33Oh, my God.
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:18Jug.
00:39:19Jug, now calm down.
00:39:21Calm down.
00:39:22He's gone.
00:39:23The rabbit's gone.
00:39:31Ma'am, we got to get out of here.
00:39:33They ain't coming out of that mine alive.
00:39:35Oh, yes, they are.
00:39:37Oh, yes.
00:39:38And we're not going anywhere.
00:40:03Oh, my God.
00:40:10Run!
00:40:13Run!
00:40:33Oh, Roy, oh, darling, thank God.
00:40:48Oh.
00:41:03How in the world was that possible?
00:41:12Well, you heard what Dirksen said.
00:41:14What's his position on releasing these photographs?
00:41:16The same as mine and Jerry's.
00:41:17We feel that the facts have to be made public.
00:41:20Now, if you want, I'll tell them it was an unauthorized experiment.
00:41:23No way, Roy.
00:41:24I got you into this.
00:41:25That wouldn't be right.
00:41:26I think we have to bring Sheriff Cody into this now.
00:41:29We'll go out to the mine in the morning,
00:41:31check, make sure we got rid of all of them.
00:41:34We'll take Sheriff Cody with us.
00:41:37I'll get in touch with him now.
00:41:38Fine.
00:41:41Well, honey, when the story breaks,
00:41:43we'll have newspaper men from all over.
00:41:46I think that you and Amanda ought to go someplace
00:41:48where they won't hound you to death.
00:41:52You're right.
00:41:53Amanda's been through enough.
00:41:56Ah, suppose we drive up to Wooddale
00:41:59and stay at the lodge
00:42:00and you join us as soon as you can.
00:42:02Good.
00:42:03Good idea.
00:42:06I love you very much.
00:42:08And if we have to,
00:42:09I'll even be happy to go and work with you and...
00:42:12Timbuktu.
00:42:13Timbuktu.
00:42:13Timbuktu.
00:42:13Timbuktu.
00:42:13Timbuktu.

00:42:55Timbuktu.
00:42:57Timbuktu.
00:42:58I don't know.
00:43:28I don't know.
00:43:58Get Jackie up and get him dressed into something warm, and you too, all right?
00:44:22Let's hurry.
00:44:52Easy.
00:44:54Easy.
00:45:02Hold.
00:45:04Hold.
00:45:05Hold.
00:45:07What's going on?
00:45:12What's going on?
00:45:13Shoot, shoot.
00:45:25Whoa, boy.
00:45:26Easy.
00:45:27Easy.
00:45:28Hey, watch out there, Frank.
00:45:30Shut.
00:45:31Take it easy.
00:45:37Hey, look.
00:45:44Hey, let's go.
00:45:47Hey.
00:45:52Hey, what's going on?
00:45:57Hey, let's go.
00:46:03Let's go.
00:46:33The plane's gonna stop you, Mr. Hillman.
00:46:36Not after what happened today.
00:47:03Dorothy, you and Jackie get in that cellar and stay there.
00:47:24Frank, don't lock me out. I'm gonna make a phone call.
00:47:34Right.
00:47:48Mildred, listen closely.
00:47:54Mildred?
00:48:01Mildred?
00:48:02Mildred.
00:48:03Mr. Hillman?
00:48:04Mildred!
00:48:07Mildred?
00:48:17Mildred?
00:48:19Mildred?
00:48:29Mildred?
00:48:31Mildred?
00:48:32Mildred?
00:48:34Mildred?
00:48:38Sounds like a cattle stampede.
00:49:08I'm not trying to get a cattle stampede.
00:49:19I'm not trying to get a cattle stampede.
00:49:26I'm not trying to get a cattle stampede.
00:49:31Let's go.
00:50:01I don't know.
00:50:31I don't know.
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:02I don't know.

00:51:31I don't know.
00:51:32I don't know.
00:51:34I don't know if I get to walk away.
00:51:35I can't do it shoot.
00:51:36How long do you take a run up Hillman's way?
00:51:38Oh no, this is alright.
00:51:39I'll get a truck on.
00:51:40Get home and get some sleep.
00:51:41When does Connie spell you?
00:51:43About midnight.
00:51:44Well, I'll see you up at the house.
00:51:47Hey, Les, wait up.
00:51:49Come on, I'm not gonna wait.
00:51:51Drop me off a bow, will ya?
00:51:53All right, Les.
00:51:55See you in a little bit.
00:51:57All right.
00:52:17All right.
00:52:47All right.
00:53:17All right.
00:53:47No!
00:53:58Okay. Good night, Lutz.
00:54:00Thanks a lot.
00:54:17Good night.
00:54:47Good night.
00:55:17Good night.
00:55:29Find him?
00:55:30Yeah, I found him.
00:55:31What was left of him?
00:55:35Well, the horses won't be back for a week.
00:55:37Spook too bad.
00:55:38Why don't you stay with Dorothy and Jackie while I hike into town?
00:55:41All right.
00:55:42And don't worry, we'll be in before dark.
00:55:47You call me about 6 o'clock from Wooddale, hmm?
00:55:49Mm-hmm.
00:55:50I'll either be here or over at Sheriff Cody's.
00:55:52Okay.
00:55:53Okay.
00:55:54Bye, Daddy.
00:55:55Bye, honey.
00:55:56See you.
00:56:01See you later.
00:56:07See you later.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:12Where is Sheriff Cody?
00:56:29Just got back from the crime lab in Phoenix.
00:56:31He'll meet us at the airport.
00:56:42Sheriff, we have something horrible to tell you.
00:56:46Your frantic call wouldn't have anything to do with rabbits, would it?
00:56:49How did you know?
00:56:50They tell me that's what killed Captain Billy and that truck driver.
00:56:53Rabbits with teeth that long.
00:56:55Crime lab's been double-checking their tests all morning.
00:56:58We'll tell you about it on the way, Sheriff.
00:57:12given a spy.
00:57:13It's a recruit of the nuisance people on call
00:57:33right in front to them.
00:57:34But don't be sure.
00:57:35Maybe you're still in space, Jack.
00:57:36Good job.

01:02:33What's the trouble if I told you father you'd think I'd been drinking, but I need your help. Well get in. Thank you
01:02:40I
01:03:03Circle the area let us know if you spot any of them
01:03:10What's the governor saying major white spoke to him he said to use the National Guard any way we have to what about the area photographs in the maps
01:03:21Everything's at the station. Let's go
01:03:40I'm in the sheriff's office. I'll be here if you need me
01:03:46I can't get cold hellman switchboard in galano's dead
01:03:53Well there's nothing in galano's but a few stores and houses
01:03:56Are there any mines south of here or any place at all where they can hold up for the day?
01:04:02Well I'm not sure
01:04:03Jason, you know that territory better than I do well sure to the best of my knowledge. I've never heard of any mines that far south
01:04:13Cody
01:04:15Put them on
01:04:17Hello, chef
01:04:19It's me Cole Hillman cool. Where are you? I've been trying to get a hold of it now. Listen to this
01:04:24The rabbits attacked the ranch last night and killed Judd also Mildred her husband unless they've only been moving at night
01:04:30And are heading your direction. All right
01:04:33Stay right where you are. I'll have a car pick you up
01:04:37What's that all about? Cole just came through galano's he said they're hauled up in the building then we've got him
01:04:43We'll hit the whole town with rockets. I've got two fighter bombers on the runway in Tucson right now
01:04:47I'll put a call through just a minute major. What about survivors?
01:04:52It'll be dark before I could get there with enough men to handle the situation when it gets dark you won't be able to handle the situation
01:04:57My sheriff when those rabbits start coming they could be here in a couple of hours
01:05:02Will that give you enough time to evacuate the town?
01:05:05Not all of it. There are a lot of trailer courts and ranches spread around many of them without telephones
01:05:12You know what we need is a fence about 10 miles long and 20 feet high
01:05:19Let's evacuate the town. Major white let me have my command poster. I'll wait. I should have been hearing from Jerry by now
01:05:25Jason those lines to Wooddale still open as far as I know sir
01:05:31I didn't want the girls here when the reporters came around
01:05:35All right, don't worry Wooddale's a good 25 miles west of those rabbits. She'll be safer there than she would be in town. I
01:05:42Hope you're right
01:05:55I
01:06:25National Guard Alpha Company reports the rabbits are near four corners killing as they come other companies are setting up machine gun sites outside of Ajo
