00:00:30THE END

00:01:00THE END

00:01:30The channel's here on the chart, all right.

00:01:44And so are the marking lights.

00:01:45Then what's wrong with them?

00:01:48Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.

00:01:51They're both a bit out of position, according to this.

00:01:53Two light boys mean a safe channel between the world over.

00:01:57Safe between the world over doesn't go in these waters.

00:02:00Look here.

00:02:02You'll see the water shoals on the island side,

00:02:05while the deep soundings run to the mainland.

00:02:08Have any of you seen the captain today?

00:02:09No, he wasn't down for dinner.

00:02:11No, and he wasn't down for lunch.

00:02:14He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.

00:02:17What are you driving at?

00:02:19Ever since you gave him those orders yesterday to cut through these waters,

00:02:23he's had the jitters.

00:02:25There's something wrong.

00:02:28I'm getting nerves myself.

00:02:30Doc, what do you recommend for nerves?

00:02:32Give him a shot of scotch.

00:02:33Good.

00:02:33Give him the whole bottle.

00:02:34No, no, I've got nerves, too.

00:02:36Here you are, Doc.

00:02:37Just what you need.

00:02:42Well, maybe you're right.

00:02:45Yes, I'll do it.

00:02:48Good evening, Captain.

00:02:49Good evening, sir.

00:02:50May I speak with you?

00:02:52Why, certainly.

00:02:54Go ahead.

00:02:55We're heading straight for the channel between Brank Island and the mainland.

00:02:58Good.

00:02:59But the lights are just a bit off, according to the chart.

00:03:02But charts are never up to date in this part of the Pacific.

00:03:05You know that.

00:03:05I know, sir, but doesn't Brank Island mean anything to you?

00:03:10Well, not a lot.

00:03:12Well, perhaps if I could talk with Mr. Rainsford, he...

00:03:14But Bob's not a sailor.

00:03:15He's a hunter.

00:03:15He's made many of these trips.

00:03:17He's young, but he has judgment.

00:03:19I'll call him.

00:03:21Oh, Bob.

00:03:23Bob.

00:03:23What is it?

00:03:24Come up here, will you?

00:03:26Just a minute.

00:03:27What's bothering you, Captain?

00:03:29There are no more coral reef, shark-infested waters in the whole world than these.

00:03:34Boy, just take a look at these.

00:03:37You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter, Doc.

00:03:38But, oh, what a photographer.

00:03:40Say, if we'd had you to take pictures on the Sumatran trip, they might have believed in my book.

00:03:44If you'd had me on the Sumatran trip, you'd never had me on this one.

00:03:48Say, here's a swell one of the ships, Skipper.

00:03:49Well, what's the matter?

00:03:53These old sea dogs tell Yarns to kid each other and end up believing it all themselves.

00:03:57Well, I think that Mr. Rainsford should know that the channel lights aren't just in the position given on the chart.

00:04:02Oh.

00:04:03Well, what do you think, fellas?

00:04:05I think we should turn back and take the outside course.

00:04:08Oh, no, no, no.

00:04:09No, no, no, no, no.

00:04:10We'll go ahead.

00:04:13Very well, sir.

00:04:14It's your ship.

00:04:15It was the schooner Hesperus, and she sailed the Wintry Sea.

00:04:23Now, wait a minute, fellas.

00:04:24Let's talk this over.

00:04:25There's no use taking any chances.

00:04:27Chances?

00:04:27That's fine talk coming from a fellow who just got through slapping tigers in the face.

00:04:31Here, get an eyeful of this.

00:04:34And he talks about taking chances.

00:04:36Here's the Doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera.

00:04:39Get the expression on Doc's face, Bill.

00:04:41He looks more frightened than the tiger.

00:04:43He is.

00:04:44Just what you have on your mind, Doc.

00:04:48I'll tell you what I had on my mind.

00:04:50I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.

00:04:53The beast of the jungle, killing just for his existence, is called savage.

00:04:57The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized.

00:05:01Yeah, yeah.

00:05:01It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?

00:05:03Now, just a minute.

00:05:04What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?

00:05:09Now, take that fellow right there, for instance.

00:05:11There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.

00:05:13But he didn't want to.

00:05:15He got interested in hunting me.

00:05:17He didn't hate me for stalking him, any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.

00:05:21As a matter of fact, we admired each other.

00:05:23Perhaps.

00:05:24But would you change places with the tiger?

00:05:27Well, not now.

00:05:29Here comes that bad luck lady again.

00:05:34Third time tonight.

00:05:37Here, let me shuffle them.

00:05:38Wait a minute.

00:05:39Don't evade the issue.

00:05:40Yes, Tom.

00:05:41I asked you a question.

00:05:42Yes.

00:05:43You did?

00:05:44Oh, I forgot.

00:05:45No, no, you didn't.

00:05:45I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the game if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.

00:05:51Well, that's something I'll never have to decide.

00:05:54No?

00:05:55Listen here, you fellas.

00:05:56This world's divided into two kinds of people.

00:05:59The hunter and the hunted.

00:06:00Luckily, I'm a hunter.

00:06:02Nothing can ever change that.

00:06:03Hang on.

00:07:02I could do whatever.

00:07:03I've tried to drown me.

00:07:14Where are the others?

00:07:20See anybody?

00:07:22Nobody left but us, too.

00:07:24And that fellow!

00:07:32Chuck!

00:07:33Help!

00:07:34Look!

00:07:35Chuck!

00:07:40Oh!

00:12:36I'd never left the spot if I hadn't been.

00:12:38The swellest crowd on earth.

00:12:40My best friends.

00:12:42It's incredible.

00:12:43Such things are always incredible.

00:12:46Death is for others, not for ourselves.

00:12:49That is how most of my other guests have felt.

00:12:53Your other guests?

00:12:54You mean this has happened before?

00:12:55My dear fellow, we have several survivors from the last wreck still in the house.

00:13:00It would seem that this island were cursed.

00:13:04That's just what the captain said.

00:13:06Only he thought it was uninhabited.

00:13:08We Cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.

00:13:12Well, it's a break for me anyway.

00:13:14My house is yours, sir.

00:13:16Oh, by the way, you'll want to change those wet rags immediately.

00:13:20Yes, they look about the way I feel.

00:13:22Yes, I have some loose hunting clothes, which I keep for my guests, that you can possibly get into.

00:13:30Ivan will show you to your room.

00:13:36You will find a stiff drink there also.

00:13:41Thanks a lot.

00:13:42Roshu, all pleasure is mine.

00:14:01Come in.

00:14:19Ready, Rainsford?

00:14:20All set.

00:14:24I'm afraid we have finished dinner, but I have ordered something for you.

00:14:29Thanks.

00:14:29I don't feel like eating.

00:14:30Oh, dear, dear.

00:14:32Well, perhaps later.

00:14:34Now then, what do you say to coffee and most charming company?

00:14:44It is hard to forget your comrade's fate, I know.

00:14:47But our feminine guest is easily perturbed.

00:14:51If I could beg you to put a good face upon the matter,

00:14:55assume a cheerfulness you may not feel.

00:14:58Why, sure, of course.

00:15:08Miss Trowbridge, may I present Mr. Robert Rainsford, Miss Eve Trowbridge.

00:15:12How'd you do?

00:15:14How'd you do?

00:15:14And her brother, Mr. Martin Trowbridge.

00:15:16How are you, old chap?

00:15:17Pretty well shaken up, I guess, huh?

00:15:19Coming out of it now, thanks.

00:15:20We know just how it feels.

00:15:21Don't we, Eve?

00:15:22Indeed, we do.

00:15:25Perhaps Mr. Rainsford would like some hot coffee.

00:15:27Oh, yes, of course.

00:15:28Mr. Rainsford, please sit here.

00:15:30Oh, thank you.

00:15:31Digust to coffee vodka.

00:15:33Vodka, that's the stuff.

00:15:35One shot will dry out quicker than all the coffee and java.

00:15:38Have to toss it off, though, like this.

00:15:40Now, Martin, you don't have to drink it all tonight, do you?

00:15:43Don't be ridiculous, sis.

00:15:45We are victims of circumstance, same as Mr. Rainsford.

00:15:49And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.

00:15:52Isn't that so, Count?

00:15:53Of course, yes.

00:15:54You were in the shipwreck, too, I understand.

00:15:56Yes.

00:15:56Our lifeboat was the only one saved.

00:15:59My brother and I and two sailors.

00:16:01The Count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.

00:16:05Those channel lights must have been shifted.

00:16:07I wonder it hasn't been reported.

00:16:08Well, we'll report them, just as soon as we get back to the mainland.

00:16:11You see, the Count has only one launch, and that's under repair.

00:16:20Russians are not the best mechanics.

00:16:24I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.

00:16:27That's all right with me.

00:16:28I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.

00:16:32Speaking of that, perhaps now you'll tell us a little bit about who you are.

00:16:35Just sketchily, you know.

00:16:37Born, married, why I left my last job.

00:16:39No, no, no, no.

00:16:40One moment, please.

00:16:41Mr. Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house.

00:16:45No?

00:16:46No, we entertain a celebrity, Miss Trowbridge.

00:16:48Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:16:49Don't tell me.

00:16:50Let me guess.

00:16:53I know.

00:16:55Flagpole sitter.

00:16:56Oh, flagpole sitter.

00:16:57I know.

00:16:57He wrote some books.

00:16:58No, he lived some books.

00:17:00If I am not mistaken, this is Mr. Robert Rainsford, who hunts big games so adventurously.

00:17:06Yeah?

00:17:06Yes, do you?

00:17:07I've lugged the gun around a little.

00:17:09I've lugged the gun around a little.

00:17:11No, I have read your books.

00:17:12I read all books on hunting.

00:17:15A papirosu?

00:17:18Only in yours have I found a sane point of view.

00:17:22What do you mean, sane?

00:17:23Cigarette?

00:17:24Yeah, thanks.

00:17:25You do not excuse what needs no excuse.

00:17:28Now, let me see.

00:17:29How did you put it?

00:17:30Hunting is as much a game as stud poker, only the limits are higher.

00:17:35You have put our case perfectly, Mr. Rainsford.

00:17:38Well, then you're a hunter yourself.

00:17:40We are kindred spirits.

00:17:42It is my one passion.

00:17:45He sleeps all day and hunts all night.

00:17:47And what's more, Rainsford, he'll have you doing the same thing.

00:17:50We'll have capital sport together, I hope.

00:17:52Don't encourage him.

00:17:54You know, he's had our two settlers so busy chasing around the woods after Flora and Fana

00:17:58that we haven't seen them for three days.

00:18:03But what do you hunt here?

00:18:07I'll tell you.

00:18:09You will be amused, I know.

00:18:11I have done a rare thing.

00:18:14I have invented a new sensation.

00:18:17And is he stingy with it?

00:18:19What is this sensation, Count?

00:18:20Mr. Rainsford, God made some men poets, some he made kings, some beggars.

00:18:28Me, he made a hunter.

00:18:32My hand was made for the trigger, my father told me.

00:18:37He was a very rich man with a quarter of a million acres in the Crimea and an ardent sportsman.

00:18:43When I was only stir up high, he gave me my first gun.

00:18:47Good for him.

00:18:47My life has been one glorious hunt.

00:18:51It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed.

00:18:55But when the revolution played up...

00:18:57Look now.

00:18:58Vitry stop.

00:18:59Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:19:04Count Zarif was so interesting, I didn't realize the danger.

00:19:11Oh, it's all right now.

00:19:12What were you saying about the revolution, Count?

00:19:14Oh, merely that I escaped with most of my fortune.

00:19:18Naturally, I continued to hunt all over the world.

00:19:22It was in Africa that the Cape Buffalo gave me this.

00:19:27That must have been a close call.

00:19:28Yes, it still bothers me sometimes.

00:19:32However, in two months I was on my way to the Amazon.

00:19:36I'd heard that the Jaguars there were unusually cunning.

00:19:40No, no, no.

00:19:41No sport at all.

00:19:42Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.

00:19:46One night as I lay in my tent with this...

00:19:48this head of mine,

00:19:51a terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.

00:19:56Hunting was beginning to bore me.

00:19:59Is that such a terrible thought, Count?

00:20:02It is, my dear lady,

00:20:04when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.

00:20:07When I lost my love of hunting,

00:20:10I lost my love of life.

00:20:13Of love.

00:20:18Well, you seem to have stood pretty well.

00:20:20I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.

00:20:24I made myself perfect in the use of the Tartar Warbow.

00:20:30Tartar was?

00:20:30Tartar Warbow.

00:20:34That one up there.

00:20:39That's cute.

00:20:42Even to this day I prefer to hunt with it.

00:20:44But alas, even that was too deadly.

00:20:46What I needed was not a new weapon,

00:20:49but a new animal.

00:20:52A new animal?

00:20:55Exactly so.

00:20:57You found one?

00:20:58Tartar Warbow.

00:20:59Tartar Warbow.

00:21:00Yes.

00:21:03Here on my island,

00:21:06I hunt the most dangerous game.

00:21:11The most dangerous game?

00:21:13You mean tigers?

00:21:15Tigers?

00:21:16No.

00:21:18The tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.

00:21:22I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water.

00:21:28Was that it?

00:21:29It's no use, Rainsford.

00:21:39He won't tell.

00:21:41He won't even let you see his trophy room

00:21:43till he gets ready to take you on the hunt of the great Watson.

00:21:48My one secret.

00:21:50I keep it as a surprise for my guests

00:21:53against the rainy day of boredom.

00:21:56That's no boy.

00:21:57You let me in on that game and I'll bet you I'll go for it.

00:22:01You know, Rainsford,

00:22:02he hasn't failed yet.

00:22:03If he says the thing is good,

00:22:05it is good.

00:22:06He's a judge of liquor,

00:22:08wizard at the contract,

00:22:09plays the piano,

00:22:11anything you want.

00:22:12He's a good host

00:22:14and a good scout, eh, Count?

00:22:16Yes, yes.

00:22:17You want me to go hunting?

00:22:18All right, you just say the word.

00:22:20We're pals.

00:22:21We'll have a big party,

00:22:22get cock-eyed and go hunting.

00:22:23A completely civilized point of view.

00:22:26Listen, I'll tell you what you do.

00:22:27You come to my place in the Adirondack sometime, see?

00:22:31We'll have a private car,

00:22:32liquor and gals on the trip,

00:22:35and the guides will make the dears behave.

00:22:39I think we'd better change the subject.

00:22:42All right.

00:22:43Send it to the subject.

00:22:45Oh, I know.

00:22:45Play the piano, huh?

00:22:47If you wish.

00:22:49Good idea.

00:22:50Play the piano.

00:22:51Now leave it to me

00:22:52and I'll fix everything.

00:22:53Perhaps the Count doesn't want to play.

00:22:57Now there you go, sister.

00:22:58I call water.

00:23:00Now leave me alone.

00:23:01I know where the piano is.

00:23:02I'm perfectly sober.

00:23:05A charming simplicity.

00:23:07Completely civilized, did you say?

00:23:09He talks of wine and women as a prelude to the hunt.

00:23:13We barbarians know that it is after the chase

00:23:16and then only that man revels.

00:23:18It does seem a bit like cocktails before breakfast.

00:23:21Of course, yes.

00:23:21You know the saying of the Organdi chieftains.

00:23:24Hunt first the enemy, then the woman.

00:23:27That's the savages' idea everywhere.

00:23:29It is the natural instinct.

00:23:31What is woman?

00:23:32Even such a woman as this

00:23:35until the blood is quickened by the kill.

00:23:39Oh, I don't know.

00:23:40Oh, I don't know.

00:23:42You Americans.

00:23:44One passion builds upon another.

00:23:47Kill.

00:23:49Then love.

00:23:51When you have known that,

00:23:53you will have known ecstasy.

00:23:58Oh, Martin.

00:23:59Martin.

00:24:02And I just sing Zaroff,

00:24:04the keyboard king,

00:24:06in his Branka Island Hour.

00:24:08Come on, Count.

00:24:09Now you're shown.

00:24:10What do you suggest?

00:24:11Oh, just a good tune.

00:24:12But not highbrow like last night.

00:24:15Just a good tune.

00:24:16See?

00:24:16I see.

00:24:17Yeah.

00:24:17Oh, it's hunting dogs.

00:24:45Keep your voice low and listen.

00:24:48It isn't true about the launch needing repairs.

00:24:50I heard it leave the boat house last night.

00:24:51It returned this morning.

00:24:53You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland?

00:24:55Yes.

00:24:58Well, perhaps he enjoys the company

00:25:00of two very charming people.

00:25:02Two, maybe.

00:25:03There were four of us a week ago.

00:25:05The other two have disappeared.

00:25:08What do you mean?

00:25:09One night after dinner,

00:25:11the cop took one of our sailors

00:25:12down to see his trophy.

00:25:14At the foot of those stone steps.

00:25:18That iron door?

00:25:19Yes.

00:25:20Two nights later,

00:25:21he took the other there.

00:25:23Neither has been seen since.

00:25:27Have you asked him about them?

00:25:28He says they've gone hunting.

00:25:30Oh, be careful.

00:25:31He's watching us.

00:25:33Will you smile

00:25:34as if I've said something funny?

00:25:36Well,

00:25:37now look here,

00:25:38you must be mistaken.

00:25:38Not now.

00:25:41A ploy.

00:25:46Ah, boy.

00:25:47Ah, boy.

00:25:49What did I tell you?

00:25:50Smacks of me in ivory,

00:25:51eh, Rainsford?

00:25:52It was splendid.

00:25:53Don't stop, please.

00:25:54Now, I'm afraid we have failed

00:25:55to hold the full attention

00:25:57of our audience.

00:25:58Well, I expect it's rather difficult

00:26:01for Mr. Rainsford

00:26:01to concentrate on anything

00:26:03after all he's been through.

00:26:04Oh, my dear lady,

00:26:05you are pleading for yourself.

00:26:07I can see the drooping

00:26:08of those lovely eyes.

00:26:11Excuse me.

00:26:13Provideo, Navelle.

00:26:15You know,

00:26:15the Count's worse

00:26:16than a family governess.

00:26:17Every night,

00:26:17he sends us off to bed

00:26:18like naughty children.

00:26:19Oh, no, my dear.

00:26:21No.

00:26:23Charming children.

00:26:28There.

00:26:29You hear that, sis?

00:26:30Now, travel on upstairs

00:26:31and don't bother us grown-ups anymore.

00:26:33Well, after that,

00:26:34I guess I'll have to go.

00:26:37Good night, Mr. Rainsford.

00:26:38Good night.

00:26:39We'll be seeing each other

00:26:40at breakfast.

00:26:41Good night.

00:26:42Good night.

00:26:43Good night, sis.

00:26:44We won't be seeing each other

00:26:45at breakfast.

00:26:50Oh, my dear Rainsford,

00:26:52I have been most inconsiderate.

00:26:53You must be feeling

00:26:54the need of sleep, too.

00:26:56Yes, I am just about all in.

00:26:57Then Ivan will show you

00:26:59to your room.

00:27:01Oh, excuse you,

00:27:02come to the door.

00:27:05Oh, Martin,

00:27:07turn in early, please.

00:27:09Don't worry.

00:27:10The Count will take care

00:27:11of me, all right.

00:27:14Indeed, I shall.

00:27:15Well, good night.

00:27:34Good night, sir.

00:27:35Sleep well.

00:27:36Good night, sir.

00:27:36Sleep well.

00:27:45Well, here's long life.

00:27:51A long life.

00:27:54Tell me, Mr. Trowbridge,

00:27:57are you also fatigued?

00:27:59Tired?

00:28:00Me?

00:28:01You know I'm not.

00:28:03You know, Rainsford,

00:28:04we two are just alike.

00:28:06Up all night

00:28:07and sleep all day.

00:28:09Well, good night.

00:28:12Well, what are we going to do, huh?

00:28:15What's the big idea?

00:28:22I thought that perhaps

00:28:24tonight

00:28:25you would like to see

00:28:28my trophy room?

00:28:30Your trophy room?

00:28:31I'm sure you will find it

00:28:33most

00:28:34interesting.

00:28:38Say, that's a great idea.

00:28:40Now we're pals.

00:28:42No more secrets now, huh?

00:28:44We'll make a night of it.

00:28:45I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge.

00:28:47Just you and I, pals.

00:28:50We'll have fun together, huh?

00:28:51Precisely, yes.

00:28:54Fun together.

00:28:56Ah, boy, Connie,

00:28:57old boy,

00:28:58old boy,

00:28:59Connie.

00:28:59ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:01ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:03ha, ha Ha, ha,

00:29:04ha, ha ha.

00:29:05Whoosh!

00:29:07Whoosh.

00:29:09whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

00:29:11Woosh.

00:29:13Let's see.

00:29:13Uh, before me.

00:29:13woosh.

00:29:14Don'touble.

00:29:15Alls,

00:29:15you want that green and purple.

00:29:17Whoosh!

00:29:18Go!

00:29:19Let's see.

00:29:20Come on.

00:29:21Ha, don't Datissubort,

00:29:21I wish I found you�.

00:29:22HAS BEEN

00:29:22CEOs'

00:29:23where you are a topporarch

00:29:24to live!

00:29:25I-

00:29:26OPERAIR

00:29:27Please let me come in.

00:29:41I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm frightened.

00:29:45What was it, those dogs?

00:29:46My brother. I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.

00:29:49I've just gone to his room. He isn't there.

00:29:52Well, he's probably somewhere with the Count.

00:29:54That's just what I'm afraid of.

00:29:55Count Zarath is planning something about my brother and me.

00:30:00You don't really think anything's happened to your brother?

00:30:02Oh, I don't know, but we've got to find him.

00:30:04Won't you help me?

00:30:06Well, of course I'll help you.

00:30:08Where do you think he's gone?

00:30:10Where did the others go?

00:30:14The iron door.

00:30:17I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.

00:30:25Come on.

00:30:26That's queer.

00:30:51It's unlocked.

00:30:56It's unlocked.

00:31:26It's unlocked.

00:31:31It's unlocked.

00:31:36Zara, he's coming down.

00:31:50Back here, quick!

00:32:06Where's my brother?

00:32:30Where's my brother?

00:32:35You killed him!

00:32:50You killed my brother!

00:32:55Dennis!

00:32:56Who are you?

00:33:01Come, come, my dear Rainsford.

00:33:16I don't want to treat you like my other guests.

00:33:21You and I, we are hunters.

00:33:25So that's your most dangerous game.

00:33:30Yes.

00:33:31My dear fellow, I intended to tell you last night.

00:33:34But you know, Miss, Miss Traubridge...

00:33:36You hunted him like an animal.

00:33:37I know what you think, but you are wrong.

00:33:39He was sober and fit for sport when I sent him out.

00:33:42An hour or two strapped up in here, brought him to his senses.

00:33:46You raving maniac!

00:33:48Yes, yes, yes.

00:33:49I'll take it off.

00:33:50When we finish...

00:33:52The stupid fellow tried to escape through the swamps of Fog Hollow.

00:33:57You see, when I first began stalking my island, many of my guests thought I was joking.

00:34:02So I established this trophy room.

00:34:05I always bring them here before the hunt.

00:34:08An hour with my trophies.

00:34:11And they usually do their best to keep away from me.

00:34:14Where do you get these poor devils?

00:34:16Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.

00:34:21But there are light buoys to mark the safe channel.

00:34:24They do not always mark it.

00:34:28You shifted them.

00:34:30Precisely right.

00:34:31Too bad your yacht should have suffered.

00:34:34But at least it brought us together.

00:34:37You take half-drowned men from ships you've wrecked and drive them out to be hunted.

00:34:41I give them every consideration.

00:34:44Good food, exercise.

00:34:46Everything to get them in splendid shape.

00:34:49To be shot down in cold blood.

00:34:50Oh, no, no, no.

00:34:52Oh, I admit with this annoying fellow.

00:34:55But usually I give them hunting clothes, a woodsman's knife and a full day start.

00:35:01Why, I even wait until midnight to give them the full advantage of the dark.

00:35:05And if one eludes me only till sunrise, he wins the game.

00:35:11Suppose he refuses to be hunted.

00:35:14And when they win?

00:35:15Ivan is such an artist with these.

00:35:20Invariably, Mr. Rainsford, invariably they choose to hunt.

00:35:26And when they win?

00:35:29To date, I have not lost.

00:35:34Oh, Rainsford, you'll find this game worth playing.

00:35:39When the next ship arrives, we'll have gorgeous sport together.

00:35:43You murdering rat, I'm a hunter.

00:35:46Not an assassin.

00:35:47Come, Rainsford.

00:35:48Say you'll hunt with me.

00:35:50Hunt men?

00:35:52Say you'll hunt with me.

00:36:03No.

00:36:05What do you think I am?

00:36:08One I fear who dare not follow his own convictions to their logical conclusion.

00:36:13I'm afraid in this instance, Mr. Rainsford, you may have to follow them.

00:36:22What do you mean?

00:36:25I shall not wait for the next ship.

00:36:28Four o'clock.

00:36:30The sun is just rising.

00:36:32Come, Mr. Rainsford.

00:36:37Let us not waste time.

00:36:55Ivan.

00:36:58Jengis.

00:37:02Your fangs and claws, Mr. Rainsford.

00:37:05Ah!

00:37:06Ah!

00:37:07Ah!

00:37:21Ivan.

00:37:22Oh!

00:37:23Oh, what am I going to do?

00:37:25I'm going to be hunted.

00:37:26Oh, no.

00:37:27No, Miss Trowbridge.

00:37:28Outdoor chess.

00:37:29His brain against mine.

00:37:31His woodcraft against mine.

00:37:33His woodcraft against mine.

00:37:34And the prize?

00:37:36The prize?

00:37:37You may recall what I said last evening.

00:37:42Only after the kill does man know the true ecstasy of love.

00:37:50Suppose you lose.

00:37:52If I do not, what shall I say, find you between midnight and sunrise tomorrow, freedom for both of you.

00:38:03I'm going with you.

00:38:04No.

00:38:05He'll kill you, too.

00:38:06Not at all.

00:38:07One does not kill the female animal.

00:38:09If you lose, I can easily recapture her alive.

00:38:13All right.

00:38:14I'll take her with me, then.

00:38:15We'll set him a trail he'll remember.

00:38:22It's only fair to advise you against Fog Hollow.

00:38:28Outdoor chess, Mr. Rainsford.

00:38:30Don't lose your nerve.

00:38:46We beat this thing.

00:38:48The others didn't.

00:38:49We will.

00:39:00Come on, let's get going.

00:39:19It seems as though we've come miles.

00:39:33Yeah.

00:39:34Well, three hours doesn't take you far in this jungle.

00:39:37Come on, let's keep going.

00:39:39Come on.

00:39:49Just a little more of this.

00:39:50An easy downhill going.

00:39:52Soon be safe.

00:40:19No wonder he was so sure.

00:40:21This island's no bigger than a deer park.

00:40:24Oh, Bob!

00:40:27Come on, now.

00:40:30What are we going to do?

00:40:32We didn't each live through a shipwreck to let this crazy manhunter worry us.

00:40:37I shouldn't have come with you.

00:40:38You might beat him if you were alone.

00:40:41Alone?

00:40:42And leave you here with that savage?

00:40:44Not a chance.

00:40:45Now, we've got to think of something to worry him.

00:40:50Oh, you'd never get near him.

00:40:51It's shoot on sight.

00:40:53Weapons aren't everything in the jungle.

00:40:56Say, do you notice that leaning tree down there?

00:41:00The one we just passed?

00:41:01Yes.

00:41:02Come on, I want to show you something.

00:41:08You see?

00:41:09If that supporting branch were cut away,

00:41:10this fallen tree would make a perfect melee deadfall.

00:41:13A melee deadfall?

00:41:14What's that?

00:41:15A man-killing contraption that natives use.

00:41:18Well, stop that madman, all right.

00:41:20The trouble is, it takes quite a few hours to build.

00:41:23He said he wouldn't follow till midnight.

00:41:24That's right.

00:41:26If you help me, I think we'll have time.

00:41:27Come on, we'll cut some strong vines.

00:41:34There.

00:41:35Almost ready.

00:41:37The bracelet of yours makes a fine guide ring for my necktie.

00:41:40He'll have been on his way almost an hour now.

00:41:42No.

00:41:43Look out.

00:41:45Don't touch that trip line.

00:41:46You'll have a two-ton tree down on your back.

00:41:48The jungle wood's as heavy as iron.

00:41:49Will it really work?

00:41:51I've never known a living thing to get by one yet.

00:41:54Look here.

00:41:55If you touch that trip line,

00:41:57you'll pull that trigger free.

00:41:59Once that's loose,

00:42:01there's nothing to keep the log from coming down.

00:42:03It'll crash down and kill anything underneath it.

00:42:06Look.

00:42:17We're ready.

00:42:18Let them come.

00:42:35Give me that knife.

00:42:36Give me that knife.

00:43:05Come in.

00:43:06You've got a knife.

00:43:07Come in.

00:43:08Come in.

00:43:09Come in.

00:43:10Come in.

00:43:11Come in.

00:43:12Come in.

00:43:13It'll crash down and kill it.

00:43:14There it will be.

00:43:15Oh my God!

00:43:16What is that?

00:43:17Why is that knife?

00:43:18I can't take this knife.

00:43:20You've got no knife.

00:43:22You've got no knife.

00:43:23You've got the knife.

00:43:24All those things in the woods.

00:43:25I've got to get this knife.

00:43:26Come out, Rainsford.

00:43:41Fight for longings.

00:43:43I'll not bundle this shop.

00:43:45You'll never even feed it.

00:43:48But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted leopards

00:43:52would follow you into that ambush?

00:43:56Oh, very well.

00:44:02If you choose to play the leopard,

00:44:05I shall hunt you like a leopard.

00:44:26Wait.

00:44:28Maybe it's a trick.

00:44:28Is it?

00:44:38Oh, very well.

00:44:41Eve!

00:45:06Why did he go?

00:45:08He's playing with us.

00:45:09Like a cat with a mouse.

00:45:11What do you mean?

00:45:12You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard.

00:45:14It means he's gone for his high-powered rifle.

00:45:16His rifle?

00:45:17Oh, Bob, we must get away from here!

00:45:19Run!

00:45:20Eve, wait!

00:45:39No, I tell you, no!

00:45:40Don't stop!

00:45:41Don't!

00:45:42Wait!

00:45:43That's Fog Hollow ahead.

00:45:44Fog Hollow?

00:45:45The swamp where he caught the others.

00:45:46We haven't a chance of keeping ahead of him there.

00:45:47But there's no place else to run.

00:45:48That's just what he's counting on.

00:45:49We've got two hours till dawn.

00:45:50We've got to use our brains instead of our legs.

00:45:51But he'll have his rifle.

00:45:52And we'll have his rifle.

00:45:53And we'll have a man-trap.

00:45:54Look!

00:45:55Oh!

00:45:56That makes me grin.

00:45:57Cover this over.

00:45:58When Mr. Zaro falls down there, he'll be all through hunting.

00:46:00Quick, gather some leaves and grass.

00:46:01I'll cut some branches.

00:46:02And now, there's no place else to run.

00:46:03There's no place else to run.

00:46:04There's no place else to run.

00:46:05That's just what he's counting on.

00:46:06We've got two hours till dawn.

00:46:07We've got to use our brains instead of our legs.

00:46:08But he'll have his rifle.

00:46:09And we'll have a man-trap.

00:46:10Look!

00:46:11Oh!

00:46:12He makes me grin.

00:46:13Cover this over.

00:46:14When Mr. Zaro falls down there, he'll be all through hunting.

00:46:17Quick, gather some leaves and grass.

00:46:22I'll cut some branches.

00:46:23Gather some leaves and grass. I'll cut some branches.

00:47:23THE END

00:47:53Yes. Very good, Rainsford. Very good. You have not won yet.

00:48:21Look at your watch.

00:48:27Are you looking at it?

00:48:30Still half an hour till sunrise.

00:48:32Swamp or no swamp, we can keep ahead of them that long.

00:48:36As you are doubtless saying, the odds are against me.

00:48:40You have made my rifle useless in the fog.

00:48:43You cannot blame me if I overcome that obstacle.
