00:00The End

00:30Hello, boys.

00:48Got any old tires you don't want?

00:50Only old tires I got them riding on.

00:52We've got enough money to go to the circus, but not enough for the sideshow.

00:55That's enough money.

00:56Why do you fix around here?

01:00Hey, you think they got all the things they say they have?

01:05Sure, the man told...

01:07If they ain't got no lions, they have to.

01:09The man let it, Sam.

01:10He did?

01:11If they ain't got meat...

01:12Sure they have, long as anything.

01:15Let you and me go, Sam.

01:17You can go ahead.

01:18We're going swimming.

01:20Hey, we're going past the Damien's house, ain't we?

01:22Sure.

01:23Sure.

01:41Sure.

01:42What's the matter, you scared...

01:43I ain't scared of no crazy, doctor.

01:45What if you're coming?

01:46Come on.

01:47Wait, wait.

01:47You see, it's this way.

01:48I'll get home for dinner.

01:49Mom won't let me go to the circus.

01:51All right, so you're afraid.

01:53You'd better stay here.

01:54Get out of there, you little rock.

02:16What are you?

02:17Oh, no.

02:20I'm on.

02:21Chief, look, he's got Willie.

02:22Get out of there, you little rock.

02:33Let's go.

02:36I'll see you always be voilà.

02:45ta

03:23I can't understand who knew something about Doc Adrian.

03:27Destroying all the values in this town.

03:29Giving Red Creek a bad name.

03:30I think so.

03:31You're right, Mason.

03:32He'd run out of this town a long time ago.

03:34Who ought to be run out of this town?

03:35Dr. Adrian.

03:35You should have been with us this afternoon.

03:37He scared the women so bad they haven't got over it yet.

03:41This town's too healthy.

03:42Maybe he'd scarring himself a couple of patients.

03:45Understand them big doctors make a lot of money on nervous women.

03:48It's funny when that hemic broke out, Quinn.

03:50You know as well as I do, he used a lot of those patients as guinea pigs.

03:53I know nothing of the sort.

03:54I know he did everything he could.

03:56Two or three in this town.

03:57I wouldn't agree to that.

03:59However, I can understand his reason for want of patience now.

04:03Well, he got himself another this afternoon.

04:06Little Willie over there.

04:07He ran after me, hurt me, and I wasn't doing nothing.

04:17Poor child.

04:18I think you're all yellow.

04:20She's right.

04:21And then you've got the courage to do anything about it.

04:24They just die on him, and now he's hanging around Miss Clifford's house experimenting with Francis, I guess.

04:29You make a poor critic, Mason.

04:30Your greed hasn't done this town any good.

04:33You doing preaching?

04:34Little preaching wouldn't do you no harm.

04:36What would the people you squeeze dry and the usury you charge on your loans?

04:40No, I don't ask him to borrow.

04:42He's the answer for that, though.

04:44But I think it wasted on you.

04:46Business is business, Quinn, and you know it.

04:48Besides, we weren't talking about me.

04:50Why don't we kick the doctor out and be done with it?

04:52I'm ready.

04:53Time you're willing to get started.

04:59Oh, yes.

04:59That prescription, I'm in a second, been quite busy this morning.

05:08I'm sorry to delay you, Doctor.

05:10It's perfectly all right.

05:11I can fix it myself.

05:11It's none of my business, and maybe we men of science think different from other people,

05:16but if they ever find out in the village what you've been doing...

05:18You mean about the animal?

05:20Yes, some of the dogs have been missed.

05:21Well, that phase of the experiment is all over.

05:24I've found out all I need to know.

05:26Can I help you?

05:28Do you think they need you in the store?

05:29Oh, just as you say, Doctor, just as you say.

05:36Good.

05:37Enjoying the last of the supper.

05:38Yes, yes.

05:39Sit down.

05:44Oh, how's my girl today?

05:46Well, you're all dressed up.

05:47Danny phoned.

05:48He's coming over.

05:49So early?

05:50We can't hide.

05:51He's going to the circus.

05:51Oh, yes.

05:54I almost forgot.

05:56I've got a present for you, Frank.

05:58All for me, Doctor?

06:00Well, I'm too excited to wait until you open it.

06:03It isn't anything at all.

06:04A juice?

06:05Oh, Doctor.

06:08Oh, it's beautiful.

06:10But why so much, Doctor?

06:11You gave me a birthday last month.

06:13So I did.

06:14Well, this is a make-believe birthday, just as daughter.

06:18Was she very like me?

06:21She'd have been just 18 today.

06:24She was to have worn that.

06:26I couldn't save her, and I couldn't save our mother.

06:32I had weapons to fight the disease that killed them.

06:35But I have now.

06:36Or at least I've got a knowledge of them.

06:38Ten years it's taken.

06:40Francis, we're going to walk again.

06:45He's so intense, you frighten me sometimes.

06:50So Danny's going to the circus.

06:52Then he's coming back here afterwards and telling me all about it.

06:55Oh, he is, is he?

06:56Well, why don't you go with him?

06:58Oh, me?

06:59Do you think she could?

07:00Oh, she's a fooling.

07:01Why, of course she could.

07:02I don't know why she shouldn't.

07:04Hello, everybody.

07:04Oh, Danny.

07:07Hello, Danny.

07:07Hello, Mrs. Clifford.

07:09Well, Danny, where would you like to take Francis to the circus?

07:13Gee, that'd be great, only, well, of course she can go.

07:16We can take care of her.

07:18I'll be back for you later.

07:19Oh, thanks, Doctor.

07:20Now, don't you worry, Mrs. Clifford.

07:22Two strong men to look after her.

07:23She'll be all right.

07:24Be back later.

07:26Bye, Doctor.

07:27Danny, I think you'd better run home and get yourself cleaned up.

07:29You'll look as if you'd brought all of the grease from the garage with you.

07:32You know, Francis, I think the doc's crazy.

07:36I suppose I'll have to like him as long as he's nice to you.

07:39He wants to be nice to everybody, but people won't let him.

07:41Well, I'm not saying I believe all the things.

07:44Don't you believe any of the things they say about him, Danny Foster?

07:46Well, all right.

07:47Don't get excited.

07:49Look, Danny.

07:50The stories they tell about the doctors

07:52are just as dirty as the grease on your hands and face.

07:56Bob takes care of me.

07:58So long, honey.

07:59Goodbye, Danny.

08:02There you are.

08:17That was easy, wasn't it?

08:19All right, Francis?

08:20Oh, yes.

08:21All right.

08:23Right.

08:24Okay.

08:26Well, this picture, it'll take three men to lift you.

08:29Oh, not three men, Doctor.

08:30If it did, they'd want a circus.

08:31I'll put me else at the circus to help you lift her down.

08:34What's the matter?

08:34Aren't you coming?

08:35No, you two go on by yourself.

08:36Now, you don't mind if I change my mind, do you?

08:39Oh, please, Doctor.

08:39You'll have much more fun together.

08:41Off you go.

08:42And don't forget to tell me all about it in the morning.

08:44So long, Doctor.

08:44We won't.

08:45Thanks for everything.

08:46Goodbye, Doctor.

08:47Bye.

08:47Goodbye, Mother.

08:48Have a good time.

08:50Bye.

08:51Bye.

08:52Bye.

08:53Bye.

08:54Bye.

08:55Bye.

08:56Bye.

08:57Bye.

08:58Well, we made it.

09:03Hey, did you see him, Mickey?

09:04Oh, the girl?

09:05Did you really see him?

09:07Yeah, in the side show.

09:08He's a big fella.

09:09Is he bigger than three men?

09:11That ape?

09:12That ape is bigger than six men.

09:14Six big men.

09:15He's a bigger face in the whole world.

09:18Look, he's coming to clowns.

09:20Oh, boy.

09:21You having a good time?

09:30Oh, yes.

09:31You don't act like it.

09:34Gee, everybody's looking at us.

09:37I'm nervous.

09:39What for?

09:40Well, out with the married man and, you know.

09:44Gee, this is the best circus I ever saw.

09:52The only circus I've ever seen.

10:08Get them while they're hot.

10:10Raise your hand.

10:10All right, officer.

10:14I'd like to wear it.

10:29We got a cup of corn.

10:32Right hot out of the oven.

10:33Excuse me, honey.

10:34We got a price in today.

10:35Hey.

10:36Hey.

10:37Hey.

10:38Hey.

10:39Hey.

10:40Hey.

10:45Isn't she lovely?

10:48So graceful.

10:49Ah, she's not so hot.

10:50I saw her past next this morning.

10:53Them costumes make a big difference.

11:00That's what the doctor calls muscular grace.

11:03Muscular coordination.

11:06Honey, look over that ring there.

11:08See?

11:09There you are.

11:17You're all right now.

11:19You'll be chasing bones in the morning.

11:22Yeah.

11:23All I've done for you, I could do for men.

11:26They'd let me.

11:27That's all, honey.

11:42That's all, honey.

11:48I'm sorry, Sue.

11:50We'll never miss another circuit.

11:51I've done for you.

12:08Hmm.

12:09Yeah.

12:09I'm sorry.

12:11They were by me.

12:12I'm sorry.

12:13Yeah.

12:14I'm sorry.

12:15What are you trying to do?

12:45We'll drive that animal crazy.

12:47Well, he's getting mean.

12:48It's the only way I can handle him.

12:50You ever try a little kindness?

12:52Nothing wrong with him?

12:54Naboo.

12:55Come here, Naboo, old boy.

12:56Come on, Naboo.

12:57That's it.

12:58Yeah, well, two years ago, he killed my old man.

13:01And I ain't gonna let him forget it, understand?

13:02I know he did.

13:03I was right here when he did it.

13:04Because he was abusing him, same as you're doing.

13:06If you don't watch your step, he'll get you, too.

13:12Why don't you mind your own business?

13:15You boys wouldn't be gambling, would you?

13:32Oh, no.

13:33Sheriff, take me in.

13:35There was a fine show you fellas put on.

13:38You was the funniest clown I ever seen.

13:40Oh, I rode a horse.

13:41He was the clown.

13:42He was?

13:43Yeah.

13:43Well, he looks like a judge.

13:55Come on, boy.

13:59Hey, Jim, Pete.

14:00Let's give him a hand.

14:01Come on.

14:02Hey, Jim, you can't handle it.

14:12Get the animals out.

14:14Go, huge.

14:26Go, huge.

14:26Bye.

14:29Come on.

14:35Come on.

14:42Come on.

14:42Dr. Egan, get something to put him on.

14:48We'll take him there.

14:49Come on, man.

14:51Somebody better get ass out of it or you'll tear this town wide open.

14:53We get a posse together.

14:55Come on, boys.

14:55We'll see what we do about that fire.

15:12A man badly hurt.

15:29Sorry to bother you, doctor.

15:30Bring him in here.

15:31Come on, right here, mother.

15:35Well, what happened?

15:36An eight got him.

15:37An eight?

15:38Hope we scared him off in time.

15:40This man's bad anymore.

15:42Well, you'd better get him into my laboratory.

15:44Jane, you show them.

15:50Well, now, how did it happen?

15:51Was he in the cage with the ape?

15:52No, the circus burned down and the ape escaped.

15:54The circus burned down?

15:56And the audience?

15:57They'd all gone home.

16:00Thank heaven for that.

16:02No, no.

16:02Will you want us any further, doctor?

16:04No, I'll take care of it.

16:05Well, then, come on, boys.

16:06Let's get out and see if we can find that ape.

16:12Don't let him get out of me, mister.

16:19Don't let him get out of me.

16:22I think he's safe here.

16:24I'm a doctor.

16:27Am I hurt bad, darling?

16:30I'm afraid, sir.

16:31I don't feel that.

16:35Am I going to die?

16:37We all have to die sometime.

16:40Oh, just don't let me die, darling.

16:48Man.

16:51The highest kind of animal.

16:53I'm going to write you into medical history.

17:17I'm going to keep a promise.

17:23Wait here.

17:25Keep your eyes open.

17:29That sure ain't got no heart.

17:31I'm so hungry, I could eat hay.

17:33You, there's a barn full.

17:34Help yourself.

17:35Help yourself.

17:35Keep your eyes open.

17:59Search the country up around Carter's farm.

18:02Jim, you take your boys and cover the west side of town.

18:05Pete, you stay with me.

18:07All right.

18:08How about joining us, Mason?

18:09Let the circus people do their own work.

18:11Why should we do it for them?

18:12The circus is burned down.

18:14Ain't that trouble enough?

18:15No, that's their tough luck.

18:16Well, if we don't find that ape, our own people might get hurt.

18:19That's your job.

18:20Your law and order.

18:22Then why should I worry about other people?

18:23They don't worry about me.

18:25You wouldn't be a little bit scared, would you, Miss?

18:28Well, don't be all day about it.

18:31We're ready.

18:31He gives a body the creeps to think of that crudder roaming around.

18:36Better keep the doors and windows all barred.

18:39No telling who he'll go for next.

18:47Are you all right, dear?

18:49Mm-hmm.

18:50Want some more?

18:53What you thinking about?

18:55I was thinking about that wonderful woman aerialist I saw last night.

18:59Oh, here comes Dr. Adrian.

19:01Good morning, Mrs. Clifford.

19:02Good morning.

19:03Francis?

19:04Oh, good morning, Dr. Adrian.

19:06I want to thank you again for the wonderful time I had last night.

19:10It was too bad about that trainer, wasn't it?

19:13Now, don't you think about him.

19:15This is the most important day in your life.

19:18Today we are really going to start her cure.

19:20I found the serum that I needed.

19:22I'm going to walk, Dr. Adrian?

19:24I hope so.

19:29I'm not just thinking about you, Francis, but of all the other sufferers in the world.

19:34All the little boys and girls who can't go out into the sunshine and play and have fun.

19:39Who have to spend their lives in a wheelchair like you.

19:42I'll do anything I can, Dr. Adrian.

19:46I know you will, my dear.

19:47It's not going to be easy.

19:49It's going to hurt.

19:51But when it hurts, don't be afraid.

19:53Just remember that when the pain is gone, it'll leave...

19:55It'll leave new life behind.

19:59Huh?

20:03I think we'd better get her ready.

20:05All right, Doctor.

20:05Now, we've got them here and there and here.

20:28Now, if we don't get any results tonight, we'll start in here and work west.

20:33No change of mind, Mr. Mason?

20:35I never change my mind.

20:36You've got to have one first.

20:38That's enough out of you.

20:40Here's that dispossessed notice on Wilcox.

20:41I want it served tonight.

20:43We're busy tonight.

20:44It'll wait until tomorrow.

20:45Your duty is to take care of the citizens of this town.

20:47Not fooling around chasing apes.

20:49It seems you're in a mighty big hurry to make people uncomfortable, Mason.

20:53It's my business what I do.

20:55Fine, and it's mine what I do.

20:58We'll get to...

21:04Oh, Doctor.

21:05Well, Mrs.

21:09Oh, my legs.

21:10They feel like lead.

21:12I can't lift them.

21:13But you never could lift them before.

21:15Oh, I know, but I never felt them before.

21:18You...

21:18You feel them, Frances?

21:20You feel them?

21:21They're so heavy.

21:23Well, that's good news, my dear.

21:25That's what we were hoping for.

21:27It's only just the beginning.

21:29If there's any change, you send for me immediately.

21:36Yes, Doctor.

21:41Oh, Mother.

21:42Jane.

21:43Jane.

21:44Jane.

21:49Jane!

21:50Jane!

21:51Look.

21:52I've succeeded.

21:54It's fair.

21:55Life.

21:56Life in that tiny bottle.

21:58It's working.

21:59A child will walk again.

22:11Just go.

22:12Oh, Mother.

22:15Oh, Oh.

22:24Oh, oh.

22:41Oh.

22:41It's Wilcox.

22:50He's all torn up.

22:56Oh, we'd better get a doctor.

22:58It ain't no good.

23:00He's been dead for hours.

23:01Let's notify the sheriff.

23:02What?

23:11Oh, dear.

23:41Oh, dear.

24:11Oh, dear.

24:28Doc!

24:32Hey, Doc!

24:34Yeah, what's wrong?

24:35He ain't Doc Wilcox.

24:37Anything I can do?

24:38No, no, he's setting a doornail.

24:40You'd better be careful, Doc!

24:41Thanks, I will.

24:43Yes, Jane, you're safe.

25:12But only you and I must know that he's dead.

25:18Good night.

25:30I know now Dr. Adrian is really going to cure me.

25:33Well, if they hurt you, how can you be getting better?

25:35Oh, you don't understand, Danny.

25:37They never hurt before.

25:38There was no feeling at all.

25:40Now they feel alive.

25:43It's the same.

25:43I don't like it.

25:45I like things I can't understand.

25:47Well, I don't understand either, Danny, but I believe in him.

25:51Oh, I have so much faith in him, Danny.

25:54He says I'm like a daughter to him, and...

25:55Well, I know he wouldn't hurt me unless he had to.

25:59It's part of the cure.

26:00It's just got to be.

26:05All right.

26:06I'll try to believe two of me.

26:09But I'd rather carry around all my life and have anything happen to it.

26:12I'll try to believe two of you.

26:42Hello, Sheriff.

26:47Any luck?

26:47Not yet.

26:48But we'll get him.

26:49Well, I hope so.

26:51Come on, boy.

26:52Come on.

26:54There.

26:55Looks like they picked up a cent.

26:58Come on, sir.

26:59All right.

27:00You can do it.

27:04Well, what got into him?

27:08Hold on.

27:08Give him up for a minute, will you?

27:11Hello, Doc.

27:13Say, I haven't seen anything of that ape, have you?

27:15No, I haven't, Sheriff.

27:17Well, my dogs just acted as if they'd picked up his cent.

27:20Well, I'd better be careful.

27:22Yeah, you'd better be.

27:25Having trouble with insects, Doc?

27:28Yes.

27:28This is just a little mixture of my own I'm trying to get rid of them with.

27:33Well, if it works, let me know.

27:35My yard's full of them.

27:36It will.

27:38Thanks.

27:38Supper's ready.

27:53Are you going out?

27:54Yeah.

27:54But I made lamb stew and dumplings.

27:57I don't care for lamb stew and dumplings, thank you.

27:59Besides, the shark wants us out early to capture that ape.

28:03You needn't lie.

28:05I know where you're going.

28:06Oh, you do?

28:07Yes.

28:08Everybody then.

28:08Sweet, but that's the gossip, eh?

28:10I can't keep people from talking to me and telling me you've found a new interest.

28:14Suppose I have.

28:15There's nothing I can do about it, I guess.

28:18Well, keep that in mind.

28:18But if you just wouldn't carry on here where we live, so people would stop pitying me.

28:24Even if you'd go somewhere else.

28:26Why don't you try going somewhere else?

28:28But I have no one but you.

28:30I have no folks.

28:31I've got no place to go.

28:34You've got the river.

28:36That makes you think yours.

28:52Well, boys, you got yourselves some rest today?

28:55About 40 wings.

28:56We're plummeted out.

28:57Well, maybe we can get some more people to help us out.

28:59Why don't we come out in the daytime?

29:01The circus people told us we never.

29:03We got to catch him prowling after dark.

29:05Think he's still hanging around the village?

29:06He got masoned, didn't he?

29:08And we found new tracks up around Dr. Adrian's house.

29:11Oh, give me a sauce for a little.

29:24Hiya, Drew.

29:25What do you think of that, sir, if even the dogs don't like him?

29:28Well, he got into him the way around his house.

29:30Don't make sense.

29:31Maybe it's because the dog looks so much like an ape himself.

29:35This is no time for joking.

29:37All of you be on the job tonight.

29:39I'm scared, Mrs. Clifford.

30:01She looks almost...

30:03I'm really scared.

30:05We must trust Dr. Adrian.

30:07But we don't know.

30:09He ain't got a patient in this town.

30:10People don't just hate a fellow for nothing.

30:12Do you hate him, Danny?

30:14No.

30:15It's not hating him.

30:16It's loving Francis the way I do.

30:20If anything happens to her.

30:23I'm going down the sea.

30:25I got to ask him.

30:27I got to know.

30:30Danny.

30:30Danny's worried, isn't he, Mother?

30:34Now, you just rest here.

30:36Danny will be all right.

30:37Oh, my legs didn't hurt so.

30:41I'm not afraid.

30:43You aren't, are you, Mother?

30:44No, darling.

30:45I want my little girl to walk again.

30:48You ain't going in there, Doc.

30:57Now, what is this, Danny?

30:59I'm scared about her.

31:00I got to know what you're doing.

31:02Well, surely you want her to live a normal life like other people.

31:06Well, sure, as long as nothing happens to her.

31:09I love her just the way she is, Doc.

31:11I can take care of her.

31:12I want to take care of her.

31:13I don't want no experimenting on her.

31:15But, Danny, if through her I could rid the world of...

31:19I'm not in love with the world.

31:20I'm in love with her.

31:22I get it.

31:23She's just a guinea pig to you.

31:24Well, you got to stop it.

31:25You got to stop hurting her.

31:28Have you been to your garage today?

31:30No, I ain't.

31:31I've been too worried.

31:32Well, you take care of your cars, and I'll take care of my patients.

31:36Now, just you run along.

31:37I ain't running no place.

31:39I ain't no doctor.

31:40And I don't know enough about what you're doing.

31:42But if anything happens to Frances...

31:44Nothing's going to happen to Frances.

31:46Now, don't interfere.

31:54Doctor.

31:56How do you do, Dr. Avery?

31:57Sister.

31:58How is my patient feeling this morning?

32:00I'm all right.

32:01She's been in great pain, Doctor.

32:04In pain?

32:06Well, that's good.

32:07Good?

32:08Of course it is.

32:09That's what we're looking for.

32:10Now, you prepare her.

32:11Work.

32:23You say the name is Mason?

32:25Yeah.

32:26Yes, Doctor.

32:27Initial H.

32:28Anything in your examination to go into my report?

32:30No, I believe none.

32:31Well, I just said the death was caused by a fractured vertebrae.

32:35I guess that's about covered it, doesn't it?

32:37Yes, I should say that it would.

32:39The reason I sent for you, Doctor, is because you examined the circus trainer when he was sent north.

32:45And this case being a similar one to that, I thought probably in your examination that you had discovered something that I had overlooked to put in my coroner's report.

32:54I see.

32:56This Dr. Adrian, whose name is on the death certificate, is he the local physician?

33:01Yes, if you can call him one.

33:04Folks around here don't like him much.

33:06And he was also called in on the case of the trainer?

33:10Yes.

33:11Yes, that's the same fellow.

33:13He came here during the paralysis epidemic.

33:16But the folks around here say that he experiments too much.

33:20Thank you very much, coroner.

33:21I believe you've given me all the information necessary.

33:30That's fine, now, sir.

33:37Frances, what do you feel?

33:38My legs.

33:40They're hurting?

33:41Oh, they hurt.

33:42Have you more sensation than you had yesterday?

33:44Oh, yes, much more.

33:46Do you think perhaps you could walk?

33:48Oh, no.

33:49Then try to move your foot.

33:50Oh, I can't.

33:51You can.

33:52Try.

33:53No.

33:53You can.

33:56No.

33:57You can.

33:58No.

33:58You can.

34:07Oh.

34:09Oh, Mother.

34:11Oh.

34:13It's working.

34:15Oh.

34:19Now you rest.

34:20You rest.

34:21I'll be back later.

34:27Mother.

34:30I know I'll be able to walk again.

34:34I know, baby.

34:36I know.

34:37Dr. Adrian.

34:45Dr. Adrian.

34:46That's right.

34:48I'm Dr. McNulty from the Robinson Foundation.

34:51Oh.

34:52Yes.

34:53I had occasion to examine the body of a circus trainer who was killed by an ape here in this town.

34:59Yes, sir.

35:00I understand that you, uh, administered to the wounded man before he died.

35:05I did my best for him, but it was quite hopeless.

35:09In spite of the spinal injection you gave him?

35:12I gave him no injection.

35:13I just came from viewing the body of this man, Mason.

35:17And I noticed a similar spinal puncture.

35:21Did you examine him also?

35:23Well, he called me in, of course, but it was too late.

35:26He was dead.

35:26And you noticed no such puncture?

35:29Well, the body was so badly mangled that, uh...

35:32Well, no, I didn't.

35:33I see.

35:35I understand they've had an epidemic of paralysis here.

35:38That's true.

35:39Many years ago, the Robinson Foundation found it necessary to expel from the institution

35:45a most promising young research worker

35:47because of his daring, unorthodox experiments with spinal fluid.

35:52It was 25 years ago, to be exact.

35:54Then you are that Dr. Bernard Adrian whose definite theory is...

35:59And in spite of what you did to me for 25 years, I've been engaged in proving those theories.

36:04By what method have you been doing this?

36:08I'm not in a position to disclose it.

36:11I see.

36:13Well, I'm afraid you leave me no alternative but to report weight.

36:18If I could give you some small measure of proof, would you change your mind?

36:23I doubt it.

36:25Let me show you.

36:29Oh, you're right.

36:44You see?

36:47Now, these two creatures were completely paralyzed.

36:50But after my treatment, well, you can see for yourself they're as lively and healthy as ever they were.

36:54All this has nothing to do with the case.

36:56But it has.

36:56The serum that I use...

36:58What became of the serum you took from those two men?

37:07Well, you come with me.

37:16Oh, doctor.

37:17Oh, Mrs. Clifford.

37:19Now, this is Dr. McNulty.

37:20How do you do, doctor?

37:21I'd like to talk to Frances.

37:23She's asleep.

37:23No, I'm not asleep, mother.

37:27Hello, Frances.

37:28Hello.

37:32Now, this child has had a complete paralysis of her lower limbs for ten years.

37:37Is that right, Mrs. Clifford?

37:39Yes, it's doctor.

37:41Have you had any feeling at all in your limbs since Dr. Adrian has been treating you?

37:46Yes, they've been terribly heavy, and I've had a great deal of pain.

37:50Pain?

37:50Yes, and just a little while ago I moved my foot.

37:54Is that right?

37:55That's right.

37:57Will you do it again for me?

37:59I can't.

38:01Make an effort.

38:05I can't.

38:06Is anything wrong, doctor?

38:20Why, no, Frances, dear.

38:22Of course not.

38:33Well, her foot did not move.

38:36But I did feel a definite muscular reflex.

38:40Congratulations.

38:47May I notify the foundation that you'll come back to us?

38:56Too late.

38:59I have to stay here.

39:01At least give me your promise to keep us informed of your progress.

39:04Every step of the way.

39:09It's not finished.

39:35It's not finished.

39:38It's not finished.

39:50Gee, look, though.

39:51Do you see some?

39:56Yeah.

39:56Yeah, it's the way.

39:57You see the white of his eyes?

39:59Baby, they ain't white.

40:00I'm going to take a chance to shoot now.

40:05Come here, Willie.

40:07I don't care how busy you are yet, Halliday.

40:12I don't care how busy you are yet, Halliday.

40:14I want mine Willie found.

40:14The idea of him wandering around in the dark with that gorilla loop.

40:18But none of you men seem able to catch her.

40:19Oh, it's all your nephew's fault.

40:20He's always leading my little Willie astray.

40:21Well, he's always under Mickey's hand.

40:23Oh, he's not going to be the back.

40:24Oh, he's always under Mickey's hand.

40:25Oh, he's not going to be the back.

40:26Oh, it's all your nephew's fault.

40:27He's always leading my little Willie astray.

40:28Oh, he's always under Mickey's hand.

40:30Oh, he's not going to be the back.

40:31Oh, ladies, we've got work to do.

40:37around in the dark with that gorilla loop.

40:39But none of you men seem able to catch her.

40:41Oh, it's all your nephew's fault.

40:42He's always leading my little Willie astray.

40:44Well, he's always under Mickey's head.

40:45Oh, he's nothing of a kind.

40:46Oh, ladies, we've got work to do.

40:49Your kids are just someplace where they shouldn't be.

40:52Well, ain't nothing new.

40:53Hey, they look down in Jones's barn.

40:55I caught them smoking there last week.

40:57We've searched the whole town.

40:59Go take a look for them, Pete.

41:01They ain't far away.

41:02Sheriff! Sheriff! Sheriff!

41:04Where have you been?

41:05We got them! We got them!

41:07Oh, what is it?

41:08Mickey killed him. He shot him dead.

41:10Bang, bang, between the eyes.

41:11Oh, red kid.

41:13What'd you shoot him with, Mickey?

41:14My .22. I got a good feet on him.

41:16Where's your .22, Mickey?

41:18He dropped it, Sheriff.

41:19I did not.

41:20The ape grabbed it.

41:21I'll ape you when I get you home.

41:23Ah, gee, Ma, don't you believe us?

41:25Where'd you see him?

41:27On the pike about a quarter mile from Doc Adrian's house.

41:30All right. Get him home.

41:32Come on, Mickey.

41:32Come on, we'll let him right now.

41:34Come on, we'll let him right now.

41:35Come on, we'll let him right now.

41:37Come on, come on, get out.

41:38They probably shot a cow.

41:40Yeah, I'll look into it.

41:42Where are the dogs?

41:43Red's got them over on the other side of town.

41:45All right.

41:46Let's go.

41:57Wait a minute, boys.

41:58I want a word with the doctor.

42:00I'll be right out.

42:01Okay.

42:01All right.

42:02Okay.

42:02Let's go.

42:03All right.

42:24This?

42:25Oh, good evening, Sheriff.

42:35Just wanted to see if you were all right.

42:37Ain't been out, have you?

42:38No.

42:39I'm trying to think out, Doctor, a lot of things.

42:43That ape seems to take offense to your place.

42:45Now, don't take offense, Doctor.

42:47I'm just trying to clear up my mind.

42:49Them dogs of mine have been sniffing ape for days.

42:52It's made them foolish, I guess.

42:54Well, why'd they snarl at you?

42:57Well, there may be some chemical odors on my clothes that offended them.

43:01Uh-huh.

43:02But I ain't never seen my dogs offended at anything.

43:06Can't understand it, Doctor.

43:08No.

43:10Wait a minute.

43:13Jane!

43:17Just get me that torn coat of the trainers, will you?

43:23Now, this is an idea that's just occurred to me.

43:26I don't know whether it makes sense or not, but perhaps it'll explain your problem.

43:31You see, this coat was worn by the trainer when he was mauled by the ape, and it's been in the house ever since.

43:37Now, that perhaps explains the interest of the ape in this house, and your dogs in me.

43:43No, no, no.

43:44I'll bet you're right.

43:46Well, I'll get along.

43:47I think I'll put a few men around your house the rest of the night, Doctor, just so you'll be protected.

43:52Why, don't bother.

43:53I'm perfectly safe.

43:54They might interfere with some work that I have to do.

43:57Well, maybe I'll just keep an eye out myself.

44:00I'm just a bit scared, Doc.

44:02But don't tell anybody about it.

44:04What's that?

44:18This is the coat that trainer was wearing when the ape killed him.

44:21What did he rip that?

44:22He ripped her up in a stroke.

44:24Well, come on now, boys.

44:26This isn't getting us anywhere.

44:27We lay down on this job.

44:29Our own coats will be in the same shape.

44:31Come on, let's get busy.

44:32Now, you fellas get back to your positions.

44:35You boys go up this way.

44:36All right, sir.

44:37I'll stay here.

45:00I can't say.

45:02Now, Francis, dear, I want you to forget all the hours you've spent in this chair.

45:25Put them out of your mind.

45:27You're not paralyzed.

45:28You never were.

45:30Fasten that firmly in your mind.

45:33You're not paralyzed.

45:35You'll do that for me.

45:36I'll try.

45:37Don't forget.

45:39You are not paralyzed.

45:43Now then.

45:45Move your right leg.

45:48Move it.

45:49You can.

45:50Oh, I can't.

45:50Try, try.

45:51Stop it.

45:52You're hurting it.

45:52I can't, Dr. Adrian.

45:54Try it, Francis.

45:55You can.

45:56You know you can.

45:57Move.

45:57There.

45:58You moved it, didn't you?

45:59You moved it.

46:00Now the left one.

46:01Now the left one.

46:02Now move it.

46:03Try.

46:03Try again.

46:05There.

46:06You moved them.

46:07You moved them both, didn't you, dear?

46:09All right.

46:10Stand up and take a step towards me.

46:13Do it.

46:14Do it.

46:14It's only your mind holding you in that chair, not your body.

46:20Do it, I say.

46:21Do it.

46:24You see, I told you.

46:25Go get her some water.

46:26Oh, she's all right, Danny.

46:29She's better than she was, isn't she?

46:32She needs more.

46:36She needs more.

46:40Take care of her, Danny.

46:41Hey, I'll be back.

46:46I'll find you, Starlow.

46:49Frank?

46:55Name's Halliday.

46:56Sheriff over to Red Creek.

46:58Not a job finding you.

47:00Well, circus jobs are pretty hard to get, Sheriff.

47:03Oh, all jobs are kind of scarce.

47:05You boys get that ape yet?

47:07That's what I come about.

47:09Didn't get him, huh?

47:10Bad.

47:11He's a killer.

47:12You boys got some responsibility tracking him down, haven't you?

47:15Well, we did the best we could, Sheriff.

47:17The fire broke up the circus.

47:19Some of the boys stayed there, didn't they?

47:20Yeah, but that's not what I come about.

47:23I just figured when you're looking for something,

47:25might help to know its habits.

47:26Too many things of an animal I don't understand.

47:29Well, animals is all alike.

47:31Lions, elephants, dogs.

47:33They all got one-track minds.

47:35What do these gorillas live on?

47:37He ain't killed any animals.

47:38Shucks, no.

47:39They won't touch an animal, except out of meanness.

47:42They live on fruits, vegetables.

47:44That's what's bothering me.

47:45What's feeding this fellow?

47:47Maybe digging up a garden, patch it too,

47:49or stealing a little bit of fruit.

47:50No signs of it.

47:51Checked with all the farmers.

47:53Do they prowl around much, or do they stick to one place?

47:57Well, the gorilla generally sticks to one place

47:59if he's got anything they'd keep him.

48:01We see evidence that this fellow's hanging around one place.

48:04Say, that ape had it in for the trainer.

48:07Where'd he die?

48:08In the house of a doctor near the outskirts of town,

48:11and that's the place we think the ape's been hanging around.

48:14Say, how would he trace the trainer to that house?

48:17Well, sense of smell.

48:19Pretty good at that.

48:21Did you bury him in town?

48:23No.

48:23Oh, he sent his body to his people up north.

48:26That don't give us much, does it?

48:28Any of his clothes around?

48:31When that trainer was taken away,

48:33his coat was left in the doctor's house.

48:36Would that draw the ape there?

48:37It certainly would.

48:38You'd better get rid of him.

48:40I was afraid my time might be wasted coming over here,

48:42but I guess it ain't.

48:43Thanks very much, Mr. Howley.

48:45I better be getting on the road.

48:47I'd like to make home around nightfall.

48:48If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

48:50Two injections.

49:09Should have been enough.

49:10Take this record book and keep it for me safely.

49:29One more.

49:42One more.

49:54Pete?

49:56You two boys go over there by that shop.

49:58Danny?

50:02Take your men down there a hundred yards by that rail fence.

50:05Okay.

50:06Oh, Sheriff, we've been watching there every night,

50:07and so far nothing's happened.

50:09Now I'm going to...

50:09Will you take orders?

50:10All right.

50:11All right.

50:14You two boys go over by Wilcox's barn.

50:16You mean Wilcox's barn.

50:18Yes, Wilcox's barn.

50:20All right.

50:21You two boys go down the road a hundred yards.

50:24You two wait for me over that stone fence.

50:29All right, Sheriff.

50:29All right.

50:30Is the doctor here?

50:57You sure of that?

50:58Well, he's not in there.

51:02All right.

51:02You sure of what's the idea of sticking around so close to the doc's house?

51:28Because that attendant told me that ape would haunt any place where that trainer had been.

51:33Oh.

51:37Hey, I was getting into that, Sheriff.

51:40Hey.

51:41He's getting touchy.

51:44Lost his sense of humor.

51:45You know, when a man can't laugh, it's just who.

51:53Enjoy it.

51:55Isn't this where we found the body?

51:57Mm-hmm.

51:57Uh, do apes ever return to the scene of the crime?

52:07They're not, of course.

52:11Well, we've got something to look forward to.

52:13Oh.

52:31Oh!

52:32Oh!

52:32George!

52:42George!

52:47George!

52:49What's the matter?

52:51It got me.

52:52Fire shot.

52:55Come on.

52:58Did you hear that shot?

52:59Yes, but you told us not to leave here.

53:01Where was it?

53:02Right away.

53:19What is it?

53:20What's the matter?

53:21Did you find that shot?

53:23Yes.

53:24It's Tom.

53:25The ape twisted his neck, but Archie knifed him.

53:27Can you walk?

53:28Pick him up and carry him.

53:29I'm all right.

53:30Go and get him.

53:31God, he can't be far away.
