Sears Radio Theater was a radio drama anthology series which ran weeknights on CBS Radio in 1979, sponsored by the Sears chain. Often paired with The CBS Radio Mystery Theater during its first season, the program offered a different genre of drama for each evening's broadcast.In January 1980, the program moved from CBS to the Mutual Broadcasting System and was renamed Mutual Radio Theater. The Mutual series broadcast repeats from the CBS run until September 1980, when a short season of new dramas was presented. Sears continued as a sponsor during the Mutual run.

Tuesday was "Comedy Night", hosted by Andy Griffith. Wednesday was "Mystery Night" with Vincent Price as host. Thursday was "Love and Hate Night" with Cicely Tyson doing honors as host. Finally, Friday brought "Adventure Night", first hosted by Richard Widmark and later by Howard Duff and finally by Leonard Nimoy.Several actors from the Golden Age of Radio were featured on the series.
Among the actors heard were Jim Jordan, Henry Morgan, Daws Butler, June Foray, Parley Baer, Mary Jane Croft, Howard Culver, John Dehner, Joan McCall, Don Diamond, Virginia Gregg, Janet Waldo, Vic Perrin, Hans Conried, Marvin Miller, Elliott Lewis, Jeff Corey, Lesley Woods, Robert Rockwell, Lurene Tuttle, Eve Arden, Keith Andes, Harriet Nelson, Alan Young, Tom Bosley, Marion Ross, Lloyd Bochner, Rick Jason, Frank Campanella, Toni Tennille, Arthur Hill, Dan O'Herlihy, Jesse White and Frank Nelson.[1] Veteran radio actress Peggy Webber was heard on 52 episodes.The program was produced and directed by Fletcher Markle and Elliott Lewis.

That's the theme rob the Sears RadioTheater Tonight A program of adventure with Richard
Whitmark as your host. Here's apreview. I smuggle armaments all over the
China Seas. It's very good business. I pick them up cheap in Vietnam.
The whole country's knee deep and gunsthe American Army threw away. I
run them to Sumatra, Malaysia,Celebizeman and now you name it. Sears
(00:26):
Radio Theater will begin after this messagefrom your local station. Lucky, Yeah,
I was lucky. It happened inmy own living room. And Rusty
knew how to do CPR. What'sthat? Let's see. CPR stands for
cardio pulmonary resuscitation and Rusty learned itat school. They teach him how to
(00:51):
do chess compression and mouth to mouthbreathing for people who had heart attacks.
Were electric shots? You mean youkids saved your life? Well, he
kept me going until them arrived.I probably wouldn't be here now Rusty hadn't
own CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, was pioneered and developed by the American
Heart Association to sustain lives until advancedcardiac support arrives. A person using CPR
(01:15):
pumps blood for a hunt that isstopped, and breathes for lungs that can't.
The American Heart Association wants everyone tolearn CPR. Contact us to find
out where and when CPR is taughtin your community. We're fighting for your
life. This is Richard Widmark Pirates. They're all dead and gone, most
(01:42):
of them on the gallows. Everyoneknows that black Beard teach long Ben Avery,
part Roberts and all the other greatnames. They used the cutlass,
and they sailed out of Hispaniola andthe Caribbean Sea, and they flew the
skull and crossbones. True, sopiracy died out when the seventeenth century died
(02:05):
faults. Today piracy is just asrampant as it ever was. The locale
has changed and the weapons have changed. They work in the South China seas
now, and instead of wooden sailingships and the cutlass, they use fast
motor launches equipped with very modern weapons. They prey on fishing boats, craters,
(02:29):
trawlers, anything that happens to bepassing by and just might have a
worthwhile cargo on war, Like thistypical little fishing trawler that's on its way
south of those waters, now withan American couple on board, sampling the
local color, and nice people withgood and valid reasons to be there.
Two innocence in a world that isn'treally theirs, who don't know that just
(02:53):
over the horizon there's another vessel lyingin waitful vessel, a deadly lesson,
a vessel arm to the teeth.Another thing they don't know. On board
their little fishing boat is another cargo, a cargo that no one is supposed
to know anything about it to thestage set the predator's week, ready to
(03:20):

(05:44):
Seas, Susan and Frank Mallory areunsuspecting American couple are going about their innocent
business. In just a few moments, they'll be joined on deck by Harry
Bennett, our hero, whose businessis not white. So is Susan over
(06:04):
here? Dog, No over here. We have to finish this damn article.
Pull up a box and the comfortbook at your pad? Where was
I at your last masterly phraise?Was the romance of Somerset Mom and Sir
Thomas Raffles. That was about Singaporeand Bancotton And I made a note You
(06:26):
wanted to talk about anger? Wat? What did I want to say about
anger? What? We can't evengo there? Ah? Yes, that
was it? Are we ready pencilpoised? Unhappily? Southeast Asia's most important
tourist attraction, the spectacular ruins ofAnchor. What are in Cambodia Now in
the grip of the bloody khmer rouge. Darling, you cannot say bloody in
(06:49):
a respectable Sunday newspaper, the bloodthirstykm rouge. Okay, the whole of
Cambodia is very definitely off limits.Now make that not a safe place to
be. But now, for fourpeaceful and idyllic days. How many els
in idyllic I don't know. Makea stab at it. Let the editor
(07:11):
worry about it. For four peacefuland idyllic days, we are sailing the
serene blue waters of the Gulf ofThailand, dotted with lush green islands of
incomparable beauty, overgrown with jungle palmtrees leaning out over water that lapsed gently
at their shores. Well, goodmorning, mister Bennett, and you miss
(07:35):
Mallory. Mister Mallory, Hi,where were we? The water was gently
lapped? Ah. The islands arerugged and mostly uninhabited, and each one
of them is perhaps the nearest thingto paradise Earth has ever seen. No,
each one of them is a paradiseon Earth. Bull looney, beg
(07:58):
pardon, mister Bennett. Allies youpeople tell to make a buck. I
don't quite know what you mean bythat. Bennett. I mean, just
look at them if you have anyappreciation of geographical splendor at all. Right
here the Khmyor Rouge, mister Malray, naturally they're in Cambodia. Cambodia happens
to lie at least one hundred andforty miles to starboard port on our left,
(08:22):
one hundred and sixty miles to starboard. Actually, well, the early
a year now the Khmer Rouge governmenthas been claiming jurisdiction over two hundred miles
of territory a war. I knowthat too, and nobody has recognized that
claim, nobody except the Khmer Rougethemselves. Well, I'm sure we need
not expect trouble from the Cambodian navy, but maybe only if God has a
(08:45):
handful of gunboats. Well, thereyou are hoisted on your own petar,
plus an awful lot of pirates.All pirates, what balder dash? Whoever
heard of pirates in the twentieth century? To mallory. In my business,
we get to hear a lot ofthings that don't really come under the heading
of general knowledge. Like last yearalone, there were one hundred and eighty
(09:07):
something hijackings in the South China,seas, buccaneers, privateers, I don't
care what you call them. Morethan half of them. The Khmer Rouge
sort of officially sanctioned piracy helps tomaintain that tough image they like to present.
In my business, there are realmenace, believe me, in your
business. I don't think you evertold us what your business might be,
(09:28):
mister Bennett. I'm a gun runner, you're a what. I smuggle armaments
all over the China Seas. It'svery good business. I pick them up
cheap. In Vietnam, the wholecountries knee deep in guns the American Army
threw away. Now we have asales pitch. Slightly used guns for sale,
(09:48):
excellent condition, only dropped once Irun them to Sumatra, Malaysia,
Celibastman and now you name it.You see those crates in the stern and
mine twelve tons of automatic rifles andM seventy nine grenade launchers. Gonda bring
me a whole lot of money.That doesn't sound to me like a very
(10:09):
worthy occupation, mister Bennett. Oh, I don't know about that. No
worse than yours. And what thehell is that supposed to mean? I
write travel articles for one of themost respected newspapers in America. I heard
lush green islands, geographical splendor,the gentle surf. You write enough of
that kind of junk. The nextthing, anyone knows your paradise on Earth,
(10:30):
there's a holiday inn and a bigmac, and natives are put to
work weaving baskets. Place gets tobe polluted with fast food service and permuta,
a short style of home cups nonbiodegradable plastic bags all over the beaches.
Believe me, I've seen what atravel writer with a gray flannel mouth
can do in a surprisingly short time. I used to live on an island
(10:50):
in the end of the sea once, not a tourist resort, not fit
for human habitation. Oh God,you're a very screwed up kind of running,
aren't you. No, I'm justdown to earth kind of guy,
kind of a guy who likes you. Hey, Hey, wait a minute,
Hey, hey, got that out? Got done? I am sorry,
(11:16):
miss? What the hell goes on? Those are my grates? That's
fifty thousand dollars worth. We arebeing chasements of being a thing. She
prest a speck on the horizon,and in our very humor, so we'll
be alongside us. Give me yourglasses. Oh man, I see what
you mean. I have to jettisto the cargo out of it. You
(11:37):
might write the rest enough so wecan out run him. There's no way.
Our family is growing pretty big thesedays. We've got family members in
nine different states. And see ifsure comes in handy, we can select
(11:58):
you set the Sears near us,then bring them along on visits to our
daughter in Seattle and my brother inMiami. And if what we bought isn't
just right for them, they goto the Sears near them and exchange it.
That's Seers in their stores. They'rethrough the catalog seers as where America
shops. The words out and spreadingfast about the genes from Sears Men's store
(12:26):
that grow beautifully. It's a suresign they're feeling fine and feeling good.
For the denim to keep going stronga long time. Get them trimmed cuts,
regular cut, even if you getthem free washing. The genes that
grow all beautiful now at most seriousretail stores. Your babies from friendship with
(12:54):
the Queenness and churns spears, genines, crib crescertain chest. Your baby will
be secure in our old fashioned cribwith high side and a safety drop side
latch, and each handsome maple coloredpiece comes in a non toxic finish whose
genuine dresser and chest is furniture thatwill adapt gracefully as baby grows older too,
(13:15):
So be it is soon because Searshas baby buys bundled up a bible
at most Sears retails doors. Ihave to Jennifer and get cargo at it
might right the rest enough so wecannot run anymore. Hut tani, there's
no way you're ever gonna hot runthat launch. What's our speed, shoven
(13:39):
nuts. He's got better than thethirty. I still do not want a
cargo to fall into their hands.You know which boat that is. I
know it is General, Kim.It's not our cargo, it's mine.
I have a small piece of it. I think it is hard for me
tool anything on board. You canbuy him off with. Oh no,
(14:07):
And I would not try you better, or I'll sink you. I will
fight him well. I guess it'syour privilege to cut your own throat skill
I have. We haven't good riflemenon board. The moment he throws out
his grappling hooks at his boarding nets, we start to fight Ray. Of
course you'll have thirty men aboard armedthe teeth automatic rifles, markarnades. Then
(14:28):
you can shake a stick at antitank guns. You'd be surprised what an
anti tank gun can do with awooden pull of a sailing boat. How
much cash do you have on board? Oh? About five hundred dollars America
money. I've been about two thousand. It's not enough, is it?
No? No, there's not enough. And he would have seen by now
(14:48):
that we are throwing your guns overboard. He will not like that. It
means I have to fight. Isuggest you take the other two passengers birol
decks. Yeah. If I donot see you again, you bet you're
(15:09):
a good guy, sir, misterBennett. What's happening? Why are they
throwing all these crates over him?What's that bow got there? I really
hate to have to tell you this, but on one of your lush green
islands out there, in this paradiseon Earth, there lives a pirate named
hot Kim. Now, once upona time, Harry, once upon a
(15:30):
time, there was this pirate.You see, please, Harry, We're
being chased Susan by a notorious andmurderous pirate named Hot Kim calls himself a
general because he used to be amess sergeant Macambodian Army before he went over
to the Khmye Rouge. He runsa gang of Lascar's dayaks, mantrums,
Ebon's thirty forty of them what Frankhere might call a motley crew of cutthroats.
(15:54):
He's probably heard about my cargo.There aren't too many secrets in these
waters. The skipper decided to throwit all overboard, and that was a
mistake. He's a nice guy,but he's not too bright, you know
what I mean. I can neverfigure out my nice guys. I never
smart. Any minute now Kim willbe coming alongside and Captain sorrow Time he
(16:15):
has decided he's going to try andfight him off. Another mistake. I
did tell you, didn't I he'snot too bright. So right now the
three of us are going to blowtos with this out the best way we
can. Maybe we better hurry,Yeah, dear lord, what do we
(16:45):
do? Keep a wife? Notportholes? Susan for one thing? Let
me look, I learned how tododge bullets a long time ago. Once
you know how, it's real easy. Just keep your eye on the ball
and then duck when it gets realclose. Susan Darling, I don't.
I don't really know what to sayto him, Frank, I'm scared.
I'm scared too. There go thegrappling irons and the boarding nets. Hey,
(17:11):
there's a real classic operation, youknow that, Susan, my love,
if anything happens to you, Idon't know about Harry, mister Bennett,
the Harry better What what's going tohappen to us? Now? I
wish I knew the answer to that, I really do. All I can
tell you is that general cat Kin, he's really something else. He's got
(17:34):
about as many and nice qualities asa frog as feathers. It's going to
be rough, my friend. Whatwas that minute? Ah, there'll be
a lot of that for one ina while now. What it sounded like?
Yeah, they don't get to walkthe plank anymore. They just get
(17:56):
to be tossed overboard and save alot of trouble. I mean, in
the old days, I had tofind the plank first, like, hey,
ropus, you happen to have aplank lying around someplace I can borrow?
And then it had to be lashedon with ropes and all that business
with shoving a point of a cutlassinto the small of the victim's back.
I mean it took time and trouble. They do it the easy way.
(18:18):
Now just throw the poor prune overboard. You really are a tough guy.
Are chippy? No? I keeptelling you. I'm just a very pragmatic
sort of fellow. Harry, Willthey leave us alone? I'm afraid I
have to say I doubt that verymuch. See what I mean? You
(18:38):
come now, lungy. Yeah,that's what I figured. Do you know
him? Like? Make him allto talk. You sit tight, boys
and girls. I'll go and havea chat with my good friend, the
General. I'll be back. Ihope you're a good friend right now,
Honey, Hi certainly don't want himfor an enemy. I'll see him.
(19:02):
Frank, what's going to happen tous, Darling? I don't know.
Should we perhaps pray? As Carriewould say, Frank? Yeah, Sears

of the New York Yankees. I'mproud to be a member of a great
(20:42):
team, and I'm equally proud ofmy family, storming my wife and our
two children. They're both healthy,normal kids. But you know there are
some children in this world, inyour neighborhood who are not so lucky.
They were born with handicaps, injuredin accidents, or disabled by illness.
All they want is an equal chancewith other children, to work, to
play, to learn, and tofeel they will having place in the world
(21:04):
when they grow up. The EasterSeal Society is preparing both children and adults
for tomorrow, rehabilitating them, givingthem a chance to become self respecting citizens.
That's why I support the work ofEaster Seals as a member of the
National Easter Seal Sports Council. Wehope you support your local Easter Seals program.
It's a great way to help handicappeople. Below decks on the captured
(21:41):
fishing boat, Susan and Frank Malloryare just beginning to realize the perils they
face in the presence of Kim andhis pirate crew. Harry Bennett, on
the other hand, seems relatively undisturbed. Mister Bennett, what a great pleasure
to see your game, to visitdown in general, you're looking fit.
(22:06):
Well, who you really think?So? I've been losing weight lately and
did what is me? I'm downto two hundred and fifty pounds. Well
that's a nice round figure. Howkind of you to say so. But
I'm very angry with you, misterBennett. I wanted your cargo so badly
and you threw it overboard. I'mwondering if I should do the same to
you. And wait him in ageneral hold it right there. I had
(22:27):
fifty thousand dollars invested in that merchandise. Closing it wasn't mine at all.
Ah, then it was Captain Starotaniwho ordered this terrible thing. No,
it wasn't Sarah Tani either. Asa matter of honest fact, I don't
know who it was. I saidto the skipper the moment we saw your
boat, and that's that's really avery beautiful boat, I said, Sarah
(22:49):
Tani, that's our old friend,General cut Kim, and why don't we
give him all this merchandise just toshow our solidarity with Khmyer Rouge? And
he said, and mister Bennetty said, what a splendid idea. Let's do
that. I always thought very highly, he said, oh, General kot
Kim. But then a couple oflast guards and the crew or maybe they
(23:11):
were dyaks, who knows, theystarted throwing our crates overboard, and I
honestly don't know which ones they were, probably among all those poor pilgrims who
walked blank already. And we triedto stop them, Sarotani and I,
but they had rifles, so therereally wasn't much we could do to stop
them with what a fascinating story.I still think I have to feed you
(23:34):
to the lobsters. That is notreally a very good idea, general,
hope, and why not? Thefact that you tried so hard to get
my guns indicates to me that youmay be running short of the weapons you
need. And that's so general.There's only one man in these waters can
resupply you, and that's me.You just can't afford to knock me off.
(24:00):
A persuasive argument by no means decisive, but persuasive. Yes. Who
are the two other passengers on boardat the ship? His name is Frank
Mallory, a famous travel writer.The girl is his wife, husband wife
team. It's kind of mandatory intheir business, Middle America and all that
jazz. She's a very pretty littlelady, isn't she. Uh? Does
(24:26):
his paper have money? Lots ofmoney? Uh? Yes, his paper
has lots of money. WHOA,that's seven bodies thrown overboard? I counted,
(24:48):
yes, But we're still alive,Susan. And while there's life,
there's hope. Frank, do youreally know how to coin a phrase?
Well? Everybody okay, so far? Yes? What's happening mister Bennett.
Here, where do you keep theliquor in this cabin? I really need
a long slug a good bourbon wedon't drink, mister Bennett. Well,
(25:12):
that figures I guess all right.I'll tell you what's happening. The General
has decided to take you both tohis lush green island hideout where the waters
gently lap et cetera, et cetera. He's got a sort of beat up
camp there, just to miss woodenhuts, not your tourist paradise at all,
Mallory. And somehow or other,don't ask me how he figures that
(25:33):
he can get in touch with yourpaper and hit them for a ransom.
Will they pay it? Well,of course they'll pay it, But that
isn't the point. The point is. I mean, if they think you're
writing is as bad as I thinkit is, they just may not bother.
They happen to believe. And Iagree with him that I am very
good at what I do, sothat's okay. Then I was worried there
for a little while. But Harry, how long will that take? Yeah?
(25:57):
You hit the nail right on thehoney, though maybe obscurely and with
commendable discretion. Well, he'll haveto send a radio message. He can't
do that from his island, andplump Penn has been out of touch with
the rest of the world for along time, so he'll have to send
it to Bangcock, say two threedays. Then how long will your publisher
(26:18):
hanging over the price? Two weeks? A few days to get the cash
to him. You should be outof there in a month or so.
A month as prisoners about monster.Oh, Harry, please help us,
Honey, don't throw those baby blueeyes at me like that. It won't
work, Harry, as a fellowAmerican, mind, don't give you that
(26:41):
jazz you want to show her tocry on you as your wife. She's
a lot tougher than you are,and that's what she's there for. If
it's not too much trouble for you, as a man who knows this,
this seamy side of life, Frank, you might at least tell us what
to do. I'll tell you whatnot to do if you value your life,
Mallory goal with anything the general wants. He'll want your money, hand
(27:03):
it over without protest. He'll wantyour cameras given to him. He'll want
your fancy gold Watch gave him thattoo when he asks for it. Now,
if you'll forgive me, Captain NasaroTani, much to my surprise,
is still alive, and he dumpedfifty thousand dollars of mine overboard. I
figure the least that little proNT owesme as a drink, pranc I don't
think I know the word. Anyproct knows what a prank is. Yeah,
(27:30):
and the General just might want yourwife too, Frank. He thinks
she's real cute, and she is. You know that, I'll see you.
That's eight of them, Darling.I don't know. I really don't
know what I can say to awriter and a damn good one, and
(27:52):
you never know what to say.Do. Perhaps it's not as bad as
it seems to be. We're stillalive and while there's life, so help
me, Frank, if you saythat again, I'll kill you. She
likes me. Do you understand whatthat means? You're mean? Fair?
Now? Tom? Wait this thata boat got no fellowship, no fellow
(28:18):
clime? Run around me, getdone a thing? Did you understand any
of that? I understand a machinegun when I see it. So let's
go, chop chop. There isa second agency. He's mister Mallory.
(28:44):
Missus Mallory over the gangplan onto myship now, both and jeans pull ahead?
Who follow us here? All helponly General. I'm telling one year,
(29:04):
mister Bennett, I had not totake a new prisoner. I have
enough headaches. I do not needmore. Like guy said, General,
you never know and you might needme? Why you need? My life?
Too complicated? Me, Harry,thank you. I just didn't want
(29:26):
to be left behind on that damnboat. Almost no one left the handler
except poor old saraw Tani or littlePronks and drowning his sorrows and the worst
whiskey I ever drank in my oldlife. Hey, I add my thanks
to mister Bennett. I realize thatyou're volunteering to share our dangers, and
I too, am deeply grateful whatdangers. I keep telling everybody that General
(29:48):
just can't afford to kill me.I might be very valuable to him one
day at least. I'm trying hardto persuade myself, and maybe that's the
way it lies. I could be. Oh no, they blew it up,
yep. Why should he want todo a thing like that? There
were men still left alive on thatboat. Yeah, sorrow Tani was one
(30:12):
of them. Sorrow Tani fought him. Don't ever try and apply good old
American philosophies to people like the KhmerRouge, Frank, they just don't think
the way we do. We're anew country. God Kim dynamited that boat
because of one of the oldest emotionsin history that maybe we don't understand too
(30:33):
good hatred man, just pure hatredor old Sarotani. He was a real
nice little guy. I only spoketo him once, he said, in
that funny little way he had oftalking. I promised you, Mysis.
He called me, Mysis. Youhave a happy voyage on my ship.
(30:57):
Oh God. And what happens now, Harry? Why is it every time
you want to put me down,Frank, you call me mister Bennett.
And when you're good and scared,it's Harry. What happens now, mister
Bennett? Now we're headed for whereverthe general wants to take us, for

What more can anyone want? We'llbring you food from time to time
as long as you behavior says,And how long? How long will we

comforts of home are taken care of, why don't you and I ever talk?
(33:49):
General? Got Kim, I've gota proposition that's mine. Interesting,
Yes, I rather thought you wouldhave. Why didn't we go to my
own hut. Hang in there,folks, I'll be back. Yay.
(34:13):
You got this place fixed up realgood. Any food can be uncomfortable,
mister Bennett, A tot of rum. That sounds like I hell of a
good idea. In general, youhad a proposition in mind, I think
sure enough. Cheers general, yourhealth, mister Bennett, and young life,
(34:37):
long life. Well, under thecircumstances, that might just be a
very propitious thing to drink too,So I'll drink to it. Hey,
we have something in common, youand I. You know that. Oh
and what might that be, misterBennett? We both live right on the
edge of rapid extinction. How aboutthat? How much ransom were you going
(35:00):
to ask for? Frank Mallory?I thought a million dollars would be nice.
They won't pay it. They'll justwrite them off. Half a million,
No, a quota, No,but surely one hundred thousand. Keep
moving down. He'll get there.But whatever it is, it'll take an
awful long time. They'll haggle overthe price for six months at the very
(35:22):
least. That doesn't seem very long. After all, it's not only mister
Mallory, is it really? Hiswife is a very attractive young woman.
You don't know American women in general. In a week, Susan Mallory would
get into your hair so deep yougo ball trying to get rid of her.
(35:46):
Let me throw more sensible alternative atyou, and oh I could I
have another ton of room please?Of course, I will give you fifty
thousand dollars worth of guns, andI've been quality merchandise for the pair of
them, and it won't take morethan two days. I've got a whole
(36:06):
bunch of automatic rifles and stuff tuckedaway in Bangkok, just waiting for someone
like you to put them to gooduse. Now doesn't that sound like a
good idea? If you were toodouble that offered? Perhaps, Oh no,
I can't afford to do that.The Mallories don't really mean that much
to me. But I uh,I will throw in a very fat bonus.
(36:30):
You know about the Queen of theOrient. I don't believe I do,
mister Bennett. I didn't think so. It's a very hush hush operation.
And she's a trawler out of Bangkoksmuggling half a million bucks in American
cigarettes to Sarahwak on her way southright now, her speed is about ten
knots. A few guns on board, but not too many. I need
(36:52):
to know her schedule, her route. Do we have a deal? Olla
follow him? Seventy five thousand dollarsworth of automatic rifles with the ammunition,
and the two hostages will be releasedinto your custody. We have a deal
and a dinghy to take us acrossthe bay to Thailand. Agreed. The
(37:13):
Queen of the Orient will be passingthe island of Ban Huai at ten o'clock
tonight. Now that's only fifty twomiles from here. Shall be a sitting
duck for you. Now you seewhat a nice guy I am. When
can we leave? We? Well, I'm not leaving the island without them.
Oh, but that is absurd.If I let you all go,
(37:34):
I'll never see any of you again. You must know, General, my
business has founded on trust. Icouldn't operate it otherwise. I can't afford
a double cross you. I makemy living in these waters. Yes,
that is true, of course.Why don't we have another drink and talk
about that. I always knew youwere a good guy at heart. You
(38:04):
think Harry Bennett knew that our boatwas going to be dynamited Is that why
he left it so unexpectedly? No, it was to help us, Frank,
I'm sure of it. I wishI could be. I don't like
the way that so called general waslooking you over like a cannibal choosing the
cut. He once, Well,it looks like all your troubles might be
(38:24):
over. Huh. I made adeal with a general. He's trading you
off for some merchandise, giving usa ding ether. He take us to
Bangkok where my warehouse is hidden.Do you think he can help me sail
it? Frank? About of verynasty reefs to look out for surface carl
and stuff like that. Oh,Harry, I don't know how we can
ever think? When do we leave? Right now? It's such a relief.
(38:45):
I've been so so terribly scared.H Well, there's there's something I
maybe ought to tell you. Thedinghy is ready, mister Bennett. I'm
sure the two of you can handleit. I can send a man with
you if necessary. I'd rather nottie him a little short handed, just
(39:06):
now, will be okay? Well, Susan can help out. She's quite
handy in a boat. Yes.Well, oh, you didn't kill them,
mister Bennett. You stay behind MissusMallory, your husband leads to mister
Bennett, are tooken to my goodfaith? You are a tooken for his
When he returns with the gun withinforty eight hours, Honey, don't you
worry about it. You will bereleased to two. So that's it.
(39:30):
Well, let me tell you something. I am not leaving this island without
my wife. Do you think I'mcrazy? Frank? You have to play
this the way I see it,or none of us will get out of
here alive. How did he true? No way, Frank. If I
have to knock you out cold andcarry it down to the boat, that's
what I'm going to do. Iwill not leave this island without Susan.
That's all a writ to it.Nothing I can do to convince you you
(39:51):
really think that I Oh, whatan impictuous man you are, mister Bennett.
Okay, Frank, up your goooh. He carries a lot of
weight around with him, doesn't he. Harry, you can't leave me along
with this monster. You can't.Don't worry, Honey. Everything's going to
be fine. I'll see you.Regrettably, I too must leave you,
(40:16):
missus Mallory, but I will beback me I will not leave Susan behind.
And that's really commendable. Nice thought. We're not leaving her behind.
So get up off the ground andwe'll do what we have to do to
get it ready. We're not We'renot leave. When I say that again,
(40:40):
we're all leaving together. I don'tunderstand understanding. Here's not a thing
you're very good at, Frank.You gotta admit that all. Listen the
dinghy the General was kind enough togive us, You and me. It's
down on the surf there, andI think you can walk that fire because,
to tell you the truth, Frankhas just so much of you to
lug around tonight. You're the onethat doesn't understand. Now, how many
(41:04):
times do I have to tell you? I simply will now shut up and
listen to me. We sail aroundthe headland and the dingy, we pull
in the shore and land again.Then we go grab her. We go
grab her. Thirty or forty armedsavages won't stop right, They'll be leaving
any minute now. Now. Youcan't be sure of that. Oh,
I can come on. The Generalis chasing a non existent trawler loaded down
(41:30):
with non existent cigarettes. I'm verygreedy. These pirates. He won't be
able to resist them. He knowsthey're armed, so he'll take almost every
man in his gut. He'll leavejust a couple of guards to watch Susan.
You know she can't get off theisland. Okay, into the dingy,
(41:52):
Yeah, grab the tiller. Thetiller is that wooden't handle there,
Frank? Okay. The expression ofyour anticipatory pleasure is gratifying, dear lady.
But I fear I must keep youwaiting just a few hours longer.
(42:13):
I have work to do. Therewill be two men guarding you, and
there is no way off the island, So why don't you just wait patiently
for my return? Take your handsoff me, you savage. Ha ha
ha. I never understand why Americanwomen worry so much about losing their virtue.
It's not a matter of losing itgeneral, it's who we lose it
(42:37):
too. I'll bring you back someAmerican cigarettes, and I'm sure we'll quickly
become very close friends. Easy enough, give her a little freeway, Frank,
(43:05):
there goes got Kim's launch. Now, okay, let's drop the anchor.
When we get back shore, Igo for the guards. You smash
your way into that hut. GrabSusan. Bring her back here to the
boat fast, get it, gotit good, Susan. Get her out
(43:36):
of here. She's out, Harry. Come on, I am on my
way on a okay, get thatdamn sail up quick, right forget just

straight out to see mister Mallory runrun with a wind? How bats he
(44:23):
hurts? Susan? Do you reallythink I think I've never been shot at
before? Eh, You're gonna makeit okay, Harry, you better believe
it. What did you say youwere? Harry pragmatic? I mean you
die on us now after all you'vedone. I squear I'll never speak to

Radio Theater will begin after this messagefrom your local station. Lucky, Yeah,
I was lucky. It happened inmy own living room. And Rusty
knew how to do CPR. What'sthat? Let's see. CPR stands for
cardio pulmonary resuscitation and Rusty learned itat school. They teach him how to
(00:51):
do chess compression and mouth to mouthbreathing for people who had heart attacks.
Were electric shots? You mean youkids saved your life? Well, he
kept me going until them arrived.I probably wouldn't be here now Rusty hadn't
own CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, was pioneered and developed by the American
Heart Association to sustain lives until advancedcardiac support arrives. A person using CPR
(01:15):
pumps blood for a hunt that isstopped, and breathes for lungs that can't.
The American Heart Association wants everyone tolearn CPR. Contact us to find

of them on the gallows. Everyoneknows that black Beard teach long Ben Avery,

and they sailed out of Hispaniola andthe Caribbean Sea, and they flew the
skull and crossbones. True, sopiracy died out when the seventeenth century died
(02:05):
faults. Today piracy is just asrampant as it ever was. The locale
has changed and the weapons have changed. They work in the South China seas
now, and instead of wooden sailingships and the cutlass, they use fast
motor launches equipped with very modern weapons. They prey on fishing boats, craters,
(02:29):
trawlers, anything that happens to bepassing by and just might have a
worthwhile cargo on war, Like thistypical little fishing trawler that's on its way

I at your last masterly phraise?Was the romance of Somerset Mom and Sir
Thomas Raffles. That was about Singaporeand Bancotton And I made a note You
(06:26):

was it? Are we ready pencilpoised? Unhappily? Southeast Asia's most important

(06:49):
a respectable Sunday newspaper, the bloodthirstykm rouge. Okay, the whole of
Cambodia is very definitely off limits.Now make that not a safe place to
be. But now, for fourpeaceful and idyllic days. How many els
in idyllic I don't know. Makea stab at it. Let the editor
(07:11):
worry about it. For four peacefuland idyllic days, we are sailing the
serene blue waters of the Gulf ofThailand, dotted with lush green islands of
incomparable beauty, overgrown with jungle palmtrees leaning out over water that lapsed gently
at their shores. Well, goodmorning, mister Bennett, and you miss
(07:35):
Mallory. Mister Mallory, Hi,where were we? The water was gently
lapped? Ah. The islands arerugged and mostly uninhabited, and each one
of them is perhaps the nearest thingto paradise Earth has ever seen. No,
each one of them is a paradiseon Earth. Bull looney, beg
(07:58):
pardon, mister Bennett. Allies youpeople tell to make a buck. I
don't quite know what you mean bythat. Bennett. I mean, just
look at them if you have anyappreciation of geographical splendor at all. Right
here the Khmyor Rouge, mister Malray, naturally they're in Cambodia. Cambodia happens
to lie at least one hundred andforty miles to starboard port on our left,
(08:22):
one hundred and sixty miles to starboard. Actually, well, the early
a year now the Khmer Rouge governmenthas been claiming jurisdiction over two hundred miles
of territory a war. I knowthat too, and nobody has recognized that
claim, nobody except the Khmer Rougethemselves. Well, I'm sure we need
not expect trouble from the Cambodian navy, but maybe only if God has a
(08:45):
handful of gunboats. Well, thereyou are hoisted on your own petar,
plus an awful lot of pirates.All pirates, what balder dash? Whoever
heard of pirates in the twentieth century? To mallory. In my business,
we get to hear a lot ofthings that don't really come under the heading
of general knowledge. Like last yearalone, there were one hundred and eighty
(09:07):
something hijackings in the South China,seas, buccaneers, privateers, I don't
care what you call them. Morethan half of them. The Khmer Rouge
sort of officially sanctioned piracy helps tomaintain that tough image they like to present.
In my business, there are realmenace, believe me, in your
business. I don't think you evertold us what your business might be,
(09:28):
mister Bennett. I'm a gun runner, you're a what. I smuggle armaments
all over the China Seas. It'svery good business. I pick them up
cheap. In Vietnam, the wholecountries knee deep in guns the American Army
threw away. Now we have asales pitch. Slightly used guns for sale,
(09:48):
excellent condition, only dropped once Irun them to Sumatra, Malaysia,
Celibastman and now you name it.You see those crates in the stern and
mine twelve tons of automatic rifles andM seventy nine grenade launchers. Gonda bring
me a whole lot of money.That doesn't sound to me like a very
(10:09):
worthy occupation, mister Bennett. Oh, I don't know about that. No
worse than yours. And what thehell is that supposed to mean? I
write travel articles for one of themost respected newspapers in America. I heard
lush green islands, geographical splendor,the gentle surf. You write enough of
that kind of junk. The nextthing, anyone knows your paradise on Earth,
(10:30):
there's a holiday inn and a bigmac, and natives are put to
work weaving baskets. Place gets tobe polluted with fast food service and permuta,
a short style of home cups nonbiodegradable plastic bags all over the beaches.
Believe me, I've seen what atravel writer with a gray flannel mouth
can do in a surprisingly short time. I used to live on an island
(10:50):
in the end of the sea once, not a tourist resort, not fit
for human habitation. Oh God,you're a very screwed up kind of running,
aren't you. No, I'm justdown to earth kind of guy,
kind of a guy who likes you. Hey, Hey, wait a minute,
Hey, hey, got that out? Got done? I am sorry,
(11:16):
miss? What the hell goes on? Those are my grates? That's
fifty thousand dollars worth. We arebeing chasements of being a thing. She
prest a speck on the horizon,and in our very humor, so we'll
be alongside us. Give me yourglasses. Oh man, I see what
you mean. I have to jettisto the cargo out of it. You
(11:37):
might write the rest enough so wecan out run him. There's no way.
Our family is growing pretty big thesedays. We've got family members in
nine different states. And see ifsure comes in handy, we can select
(11:58):
you set the Sears near us,then bring them along on visits to our
daughter in Seattle and my brother inMiami. And if what we bought isn't
just right for them, they goto the Sears near them and exchange it.
That's Seers in their stores. They'rethrough the catalog seers as where America
shops. The words out and spreadingfast about the genes from Sears Men's store
(12:26):
that grow beautifully. It's a suresign they're feeling fine and feeling good.
For the denim to keep going stronga long time. Get them trimmed cuts,
regular cut, even if you getthem free washing. The genes that
grow all beautiful now at most seriousretail stores. Your babies from friendship with

the Queenness and churns spears, genines, crib crescertain chest. Your baby will
be secure in our old fashioned cribwith high side and a safety drop side
latch, and each handsome maple coloredpiece comes in a non toxic finish whose
genuine dresser and chest is furniture thatwill adapt gracefully as baby grows older too,
(13:15):
So be it is soon because Searshas baby buys bundled up a bible
at most Sears retails doors. Ihave to Jennifer and get cargo at it
might right the rest enough so wecannot run anymore. Hut tani, there's
no way you're ever gonna hot runthat launch. What's our speed, shoven
(13:39):
nuts. He's got better than thethirty. I still do not want a
cargo to fall into their hands.You know which boat that is. I
know it is General, Kim.It's not our cargo, it's mine.
I have a small piece of it. I think it is hard for me
tool anything on board. You canbuy him off with. Oh no,
(14:07):
And I would not try you better, or I'll sink you. I will
fight him well. I guess it'syour privilege to cut your own throat skill
I have. We haven't good riflemenon board. The moment he throws out
his grappling hooks at his boarding nets, we start to fight Ray. Of
course you'll have thirty men aboard armedthe teeth automatic rifles, markarnades. Then
(14:28):
you can shake a stick at antitank guns. You'd be surprised what an
anti tank gun can do with awooden pull of a sailing boat. How
much cash do you have on board? Oh? About five hundred dollars America
money. I've been about two thousand. It's not enough, is it?
No? No, there's not enough. And he would have seen by now
(14:48):
that we are throwing your guns overboard. He will not like that. It
means I have to fight. Isuggest you take the other two passengers birol
decks. Yeah. If I donot see you again, you bet you're
(15:09):
a good guy, sir, misterBennett. What's happening? Why are they
throwing all these crates over him?What's that bow got there? I really
hate to have to tell you this, but on one of your lush green
islands out there, in this paradiseon Earth, there lives a pirate named
hot Kim. Now, once upona time, Harry, once upon a
(15:30):
time, there was this pirate.You see, please, Harry, We're
being chased Susan by a notorious andmurderous pirate named Hot Kim calls himself a
general because he used to be amess sergeant Macambodian Army before he went over
to the Khmye Rouge. He runsa gang of Lascar's dayaks, mantrums,
Ebon's thirty forty of them what Frankhere might call a motley crew of cutthroats.
(15:54):
He's probably heard about my cargo.There aren't too many secrets in these
waters. The skipper decided to throwit all overboard, and that was a
mistake. He's a nice guy,but he's not too bright, you know
what I mean. I can neverfigure out my nice guys. I never
smart. Any minute now Kim willbe coming alongside and Captain sorrow Time he
(16:15):
has decided he's going to try andfight him off. Another mistake. I
did tell you, didn't I he'snot too bright. So right now the
three of us are going to blowtos with this out the best way we
can. Maybe we better hurry,Yeah, dear lord, what do we
(16:45):
do? Keep a wife? Notportholes? Susan for one thing? Let
me look, I learned how tododge bullets a long time ago. Once
you know how, it's real easy. Just keep your eye on the ball
and then duck when it gets realclose. Susan Darling, I don't.
I don't really know what to sayto him, Frank, I'm scared.
I'm scared too. There go thegrappling irons and the boarding nets. Hey,
(17:11):
there's a real classic operation, youknow that, Susan, my love,
if anything happens to you, Idon't know about Harry, mister Bennett,
the Harry better What what's going tohappen to us? Now? I
wish I knew the answer to that, I really do. All I can
tell you is that general cat Kin, he's really something else. He's got
(17:34):
about as many and nice qualities asa frog as feathers. It's going to
be rough, my friend. Whatwas that minute? Ah, there'll be
a lot of that for one ina while now. What it sounded like?
Yeah, they don't get to walkthe plank anymore. They just get
(17:56):
to be tossed overboard and save alot of trouble. I mean, in
the old days, I had tofind the plank first, like, hey,
ropus, you happen to have aplank lying around someplace I can borrow?
And then it had to be lashedon with ropes and all that business
with shoving a point of a cutlassinto the small of the victim's back.
I mean it took time and trouble. They do it the easy way.
(18:18):
Now just throw the poor prune overboard. You really are a tough guy.
Are chippy? No? I keeptelling you. I'm just a very pragmatic
sort of fellow. Harry, Willthey leave us alone? I'm afraid I
have to say I doubt that verymuch. See what I mean? You
(18:38):
come now, lungy. Yeah,that's what I figured. Do you know
him? Like? Make him allto talk. You sit tight, boys
and girls. I'll go and havea chat with my good friend, the
General. I'll be back. Ihope you're a good friend right now,
Honey, Hi certainly don't want himfor an enemy. I'll see him.
(19:02):
Frank, what's going to happen tous, Darling? I don't know.
Should we perhaps pray? As Carriewould say, Frank? Yeah, Sears

(20:42):
team, and I'm equally proud ofmy family, storming my wife and our
two children. They're both healthy,normal kids. But you know there are
some children in this world, inyour neighborhood who are not so lucky.
They were born with handicaps, injuredin accidents, or disabled by illness.
All they want is an equal chancewith other children, to work, to
play, to learn, and tofeel they will having place in the world
(21:04):
when they grow up. The EasterSeal Society is preparing both children and adults
for tomorrow, rehabilitating them, givingthem a chance to become self respecting citizens.
That's why I support the work ofEaster Seals as a member of the
National Easter Seal Sports Council. Wehope you support your local Easter Seals program.
It's a great way to help handicappeople. Below decks on the captured
(21:41):
fishing boat, Susan and Frank Malloryare just beginning to realize the perils they
face in the presence of Kim andhis pirate crew. Harry Bennett, on
the other hand, seems relatively undisturbed. Mister Bennett, what a great pleasure
to see your game, to visitdown in general, you're looking fit.
(22:06):
Well, who you really think?So? I've been losing weight lately and
did what is me? I'm downto two hundred and fifty pounds. Well
that's a nice round figure. Howkind of you to say so. But
I'm very angry with you, misterBennett. I wanted your cargo so badly
and you threw it overboard. I'mwondering if I should do the same to
you. And wait him in ageneral hold it right there. I had
(22:27):
fifty thousand dollars invested in that merchandise. Closing it wasn't mine at all.
Ah, then it was Captain Starotaniwho ordered this terrible thing. No,
it wasn't Sarah Tani either. Asa matter of honest fact, I don't
know who it was. I saidto the skipper the moment we saw your
boat, and that's that's really avery beautiful boat, I said, Sarah
(22:49):
Tani, that's our old friend,General cut Kim, and why don't we
give him all this merchandise just toshow our solidarity with Khmyer Rouge? And
he said, and mister Bennetty said, what a splendid idea. Let's do
that. I always thought very highly, he said, oh, General kot
Kim. But then a couple oflast guards and the crew or maybe they
(23:11):
were dyaks, who knows, theystarted throwing our crates overboard, and I
honestly don't know which ones they were, probably among all those poor pilgrims who
walked blank already. And we triedto stop them, Sarotani and I,
but they had rifles, so therereally wasn't much we could do to stop
them with what a fascinating story.I still think I have to feed you
(23:34):
to the lobsters. That is notreally a very good idea, general,
hope, and why not? Thefact that you tried so hard to get
my guns indicates to me that youmay be running short of the weapons you
need. And that's so general.There's only one man in these waters can
resupply you, and that's me.You just can't afford to knock me off.
(24:00):
A persuasive argument by no means decisive, but persuasive. Yes. Who
are the two other passengers on boardat the ship? His name is Frank
Mallory, a famous travel writer.The girl is his wife, husband wife
team. It's kind of mandatory intheir business, Middle America and all that
jazz. She's a very pretty littlelady, isn't she. Uh? Does
(24:26):
his paper have money? Lots ofmoney? Uh? Yes, his paper
has lots of money. WHOA,that's seven bodies thrown overboard? I counted,
(24:48):
yes, But we're still alive,Susan. And while there's life,
there's hope. Frank, do youreally know how to coin a phrase?
Well? Everybody okay, so far? Yes? What's happening mister Bennett.
Here, where do you keep theliquor in this cabin? I really need
a long slug a good bourbon wedon't drink, mister Bennett. Well,
(25:12):
that figures I guess all right.I'll tell you what's happening. The General
has decided to take you both tohis lush green island hideout where the waters
gently lap et cetera, et cetera. He's got a sort of beat up
camp there, just to miss woodenhuts, not your tourist paradise at all,
Mallory. And somehow or other,don't ask me how he figures that
(25:33):
he can get in touch with yourpaper and hit them for a ransom.
Will they pay it? Well,of course they'll pay it, But that
isn't the point. The point is. I mean, if they think you're
writing is as bad as I thinkit is, they just may not bother.
They happen to believe. And Iagree with him that I am very
good at what I do, sothat's okay. Then I was worried there
for a little while. But Harry, how long will that take? Yeah?
(25:57):
You hit the nail right on thehoney, though maybe obscurely and with
commendable discretion. Well, he'll haveto send a radio message. He can't
do that from his island, andplump Penn has been out of touch with
the rest of the world for along time, so he'll have to send
it to Bangcock, say two threedays. Then how long will your publisher
(26:18):
hanging over the price? Two weeks? A few days to get the cash
to him. You should be outof there in a month or so.
A month as prisoners about monster.Oh, Harry, please help us,
Honey, don't throw those baby blueeyes at me like that. It won't
work, Harry, as a fellowAmerican, mind, don't give you that
(26:41):
jazz you want to show her tocry on you as your wife. She's
a lot tougher than you are,and that's what she's there for. If
it's not too much trouble for you, as a man who knows this,
this seamy side of life, Frank, you might at least tell us what
to do. I'll tell you whatnot to do if you value your life,
Mallory goal with anything the general wants. He'll want your money, hand
(27:03):
it over without protest. He'll wantyour cameras given to him. He'll want
your fancy gold Watch gave him thattoo when he asks for it. Now,
if you'll forgive me, Captain NasaroTani, much to my surprise,
is still alive, and he dumpedfifty thousand dollars of mine overboard. I
figure the least that little proNT owesme as a drink, pranc I don't
think I know the word. Anyproct knows what a prank is. Yeah,
(27:30):
and the General just might want yourwife too, Frank. He thinks
she's real cute, and she is. You know that, I'll see you.
That's eight of them, Darling.I don't know. I really don't
know what I can say to awriter and a damn good one, and
(27:52):
you never know what to say.Do. Perhaps it's not as bad as
it seems to be. We're stillalive and while there's life, so help
me, Frank, if you saythat again, I'll kill you. She
likes me. Do you understand whatthat means? You're mean? Fair?
Now? Tom? Wait this thata boat got no fellowship, no fellow
(28:18):
clime? Run around me, getdone a thing? Did you understand any
of that? I understand a machinegun when I see it. So let's
go, chop chop. There isa second agency. He's mister Mallory.
(28:44):
Missus Mallory over the gangplan onto myship now, both and jeans pull ahead?
Who follow us here? All helponly General. I'm telling one year,
(29:04):
mister Bennett, I had not totake a new prisoner. I have
enough headaches. I do not needmore. Like guy said, General,
you never know and you might needme? Why you need? My life?
Too complicated? Me, Harry,thank you. I just didn't want
(29:26):
to be left behind on that damnboat. Almost no one left the handler
except poor old saraw Tani or littlePronks and drowning his sorrows and the worst
whiskey I ever drank in my oldlife. Hey, I add my thanks
to mister Bennett. I realize thatyou're volunteering to share our dangers, and
I too, am deeply grateful whatdangers. I keep telling everybody that General
(29:48):
just can't afford to kill me.I might be very valuable to him one
day at least. I'm trying hardto persuade myself, and maybe that's the
way it lies. I could be. Oh no, they blew it up,
yep. Why should he want todo a thing like that? There
were men still left alive on thatboat. Yeah, sorrow Tani was one
(30:12):
of them. Sorrow Tani fought him. Don't ever try and apply good old
American philosophies to people like the KhmerRouge, Frank, they just don't think
the way we do. We're anew country. God Kim dynamited that boat
because of one of the oldest emotionsin history that maybe we don't understand too
(30:33):
good hatred man, just pure hatredor old Sarotani. He was a real
nice little guy. I only spoketo him once, he said, in
that funny little way he had oftalking. I promised you, Mysis.
He called me, Mysis. Youhave a happy voyage on my ship.
(30:57):
Oh God. And what happens now, Harry? Why is it every time
you want to put me down,Frank, you call me mister Bennett.
And when you're good and scared,it's Harry. What happens now, mister
Bennett? Now we're headed for whereverthe general wants to take us, for
whatever he wants to do with us. We have to roll with it,
(31:17):
Frank, Just roll with it.We roll around enough, we might just
get out of this alive. Don'tmake book on it, but we might
(31:37):

Yes, I rather thought you wouldhave. Why didn't we go to my
own hut. Hang in there,folks, I'll be back. Yay.
(34:13):
You got this place fixed up realgood. Any food can be uncomfortable,
mister Bennett, A tot of rum. That sounds like I hell of a

very propitious thing to drink too,So I'll drink to it. Hey,
we have something in common, youand I. You know that. Oh
and what might that be, misterBennett? We both live right on the
edge of rapid extinction. How aboutthat? How much ransom were you going
(35:00):
to ask for? Frank Mallory?I thought a million dollars would be nice.
They won't pay it. They'll justwrite them off. Half a million,
No, a quota, No,but surely one hundred thousand. Keep
moving down. He'll get there.But whatever it is, it'll take an
awful long time. They'll haggle overthe price for six months at the very
(35:22):
least. That doesn't seem very long. After all, it's not only mister
Mallory, is it really? Hiswife is a very attractive young woman.
You don't know American women in general. In a week, Susan Mallory would
get into your hair so deep yougo ball trying to get rid of her.
(35:46):
Let me throw more sensible alternative atyou, and oh I could I
have another ton of room please?Of course, I will give you fifty
thousand dollars worth of guns, andI've been quality merchandise for the pair of
them, and it won't take morethan two days. I've got a whole
(36:06):
bunch of automatic rifles and stuff tuckedaway in Bangkok, just waiting for someone
like you to put them to gooduse. Now doesn't that sound like a
good idea? If you were toodouble that offered? Perhaps, Oh no,
I can't afford to do that.The Mallories don't really mean that much
to me. But I uh,I will throw in a very fat bonus.
(36:30):
You know about the Queen of theOrient. I don't believe I do,
mister Bennett. I didn't think so. It's a very hush hush operation.
And she's a trawler out of Bangkoksmuggling half a million bucks in American
cigarettes to Sarahwak on her way southright now, her speed is about ten
knots. A few guns on board, but not too many. I need
(36:52):
to know her schedule, her route. Do we have a deal? Olla
follow him? Seventy five thousand dollarsworth of automatic rifles with the ammunition,
and the two hostages will be releasedinto your custody. We have a deal
and a dinghy to take us acrossthe bay to Thailand. Agreed. The
(37:13):
Queen of the Orient will be passingthe island of Ban Huai at ten o'clock
tonight. Now that's only fifty twomiles from here. Shall be a sitting
duck for you. Now you seewhat a nice guy I am. When
can we leave? We? Well, I'm not leaving the island without them.
Oh, but that is absurd.If I let you all go,
(37:34):
I'll never see any of you again. You must know, General, my
business has founded on trust. Icouldn't operate it otherwise. I can't afford
a double cross you. I makemy living in these waters. Yes,
that is true, of course.Why don't we have another drink and talk
about that. I always knew youwere a good guy at heart. You
(38:04):
think Harry Bennett knew that our boatwas going to be dynamited Is that why
he left it so unexpectedly? No, it was to help us, Frank,
I'm sure of it. I wishI could be. I don't like
the way that so called general waslooking you over like a cannibal choosing the
cut. He once, Well,it looks like all your troubles might be
(38:24):
over. Huh. I made adeal with a general. He's trading you
off for some merchandise, giving usa ding ether. He take us to
Bangkok where my warehouse is hidden.Do you think he can help me sail
it? Frank? About of verynasty reefs to look out for surface carl
and stuff like that. Oh,Harry, I don't know how we can
ever think? When do we leave? Right now? It's such a relief.
(38:45):
I've been so so terribly scared.H Well, there's there's something I
maybe ought to tell you. Thedinghy is ready, mister Bennett. I'm
sure the two of you can handleit. I can send a man with
you if necessary. I'd rather nottie him a little short handed, just
(39:06):
now, will be okay? Well, Susan can help out. She's quite
handy in a boat. Yes.Well, oh, you didn't kill them,
mister Bennett. You stay behind MissusMallory, your husband leads to mister
Bennett, are tooken to my goodfaith? You are a tooken for his
When he returns with the gun withinforty eight hours, Honey, don't you
worry about it. You will bereleased to two. So that's it.
(39:30):
Well, let me tell you something. I am not leaving this island without
my wife. Do you think I'mcrazy? Frank? You have to play
this the way I see it,or none of us will get out of
here alive. How did he true? No way, Frank. If I
have to knock you out cold andcarry it down to the boat, that's
what I'm going to do. Iwill not leave this island without Susan.
That's all a writ to it.Nothing I can do to convince you you
(39:51):
really think that I Oh, whatan impictuous man you are, mister Bennett.
Okay, Frank, up your goooh. He carries a lot of
weight around with him, doesn't he. Harry, you can't leave me along
with this monster. You can't.Don't worry, Honey. Everything's going to
be fine. I'll see you.Regrettably, I too must leave you,
(40:16):
missus Mallory, but I will beback me I will not leave Susan behind.
And that's really commendable. Nice thought. We're not leaving her behind.
So get up off the ground andwe'll do what we have to do to
get it ready. We're not We'renot leave. When I say that again,
(40:40):
we're all leaving together. I don'tunderstand understanding. Here's not a thing
you're very good at, Frank.You gotta admit that all. Listen the
dinghy the General was kind enough togive us, You and me. It's
down on the surf there, andI think you can walk that fire because,
to tell you the truth, Frankhas just so much of you to
lug around tonight. You're the onethat doesn't understand. Now, how many
(41:04):
times do I have to tell you? I simply will now shut up and
listen to me. We sail aroundthe headland and the dingy, we pull
in the shore and land again.Then we go grab her. We go
grab her. Thirty or forty armedsavages won't stop right, They'll be leaving
any minute now. Now. Youcan't be sure of that. Oh,
I can come on. The Generalis chasing a non existent trawler loaded down
(41:30):
with non existent cigarettes. I'm verygreedy. These pirates. He won't be
able to resist them. He knowsthey're armed, so he'll take almost every
man in his gut. He'll leavejust a couple of guards to watch Susan.
You know she can't get off theisland. Okay, into the dingy,
(41:52):
Yeah, grab the tiller. Thetiller is that wooden't handle there,
Frank? Okay. The expression ofyour anticipatory pleasure is gratifying, dear lady.
But I fear I must keep youwaiting just a few hours longer.
(42:13):
I have work to do. Therewill be two men guarding you, and
there is no way off the island, So why don't you just wait patiently
for my return? Take your handsoff me, you savage. Ha ha
ha. I never understand why Americanwomen worry so much about losing their virtue.
It's not a matter of losing itgeneral, it's who we lose it
(42:37):
too. I'll bring you back someAmerican cigarettes, and I'm sure we'll quickly
become very close friends. Easy enough, give her a little freeway, Frank,
(43:05):
there goes got Kim's launch. Now, okay, let's drop the anchor.
When we get back shore, Igo for the guards. You smash
your way into that hut. GrabSusan. Bring her back here to the
boat fast, get it, gotit good, Susan. Get her out
(43:36):
of here. She's out, Harry. Come on, I am on my
way on a okay, get thatdamn sail up quick, right forget just

straight out to see mister Mallory runrun with a wind? How bats he
(44:23):
hurts? Susan? Do you reallythink I think I've never been shot at
before? Eh, You're gonna makeit okay, Harry, you better believe
it. What did you say youwere? Harry pragmatic? I mean you
die on us now after all you'vedone. I squear I'll never speak to
