We have to keep in shape too, you know. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000 I suppose you've got a sure fire prescription for keeping your car in shape, Doc. 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Oh, you bet. Auto light resistor spark plugs, auto light batteries and auto light ignition systems. 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 I wish every case was as easy as that one. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Well, you sound like Frank Martin. Is your prescription for tired doctors the auto light suspense show? 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Oh, yes, again. Let's listen. 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Suspense. 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Auto light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations bring you Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills. 17 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Starring tonight, Mr. Bert Lancaster in Anton Leder's production of The Big Shot by Brett Halliday. 18 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000 A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 19 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000 You've got to be tough to be a big shot, especially when you're cursed with yellow curly hair and a pretty baby face. 20 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000 I learned about that early when I was a kid and the other kids started razzing. 21 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000 I learned that if you bounced a brick off somebody's head, the razzing stopped and you were somebody. 22 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000 It was a very profitable lesson, which paid off as I grew up. 23 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000 And I found it pays dividends whether you're on East 10th Street or down in Mexico. 24 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Martin, Charlie Martin. Yeah, yeah. 25 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Well, welcome to Mexico. Well, thanks. You're Quinn, I suppose. 26 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Right. Glad to meet you. Same here. 27 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Well, it's lucky you were the only American on the bus or I'd never have recognized you. 28 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000 No? No. Collins wrote he was sending a young fellow out just from engineering school, but I didn't expect that. 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Listen, Quinn, never mind my looks. You asked for a mining engineer and you got one. Any complaints? 30 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Well, of course. Well, if there are, you can pay me off my guarantee and I'll get back on that bus. 31 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Now, wait a minute, Martin. I didn't mean to offend you. I got no complaints as long as you can do the job. 32 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 I can do the job. Yes, I guess maybe you can. 33 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Now, how about a drink? Sure. Right over here at the corner. 34 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000 In Mexico, there's always a bottle of tequila not too far away. That's one thing makes it attractive. 35 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Must be the only thing then. Oh, I don't know. Some of us like it down here. 36 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Is that so? Why'd you come then? 37 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000 That's easy. They told me there was money in it. Yeah. Yeah, there is. 38 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 In here. 39 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Ah, bienvenidos, señores. Que quieren ustedes? 40 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Dos tequilas, por favor. Dos tequilas, si. 41 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 I hope you like tequila, Martin. It's about all they have around here. 42 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000 It'll do. Are all the bartenders like that? No, no, that's Lolita. Her father owns the place. 43 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 She ought to be plenty good for business. You're so. 44 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Say, your stuff is all arrived. Last box of equipment came in last night, so you can start setting up the mill as soon as we get back. 45 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Don't worry, I'll get it up. I'm not worried, but time is important. 46 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Dos tequilas, señores. Si, gracias, Lolita. Yeah. Thanks, beautiful. 47 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Be beautiful? Si, baby. That's you. From top to bottom. 48 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Is okay, señor? Is plenty okay, baby. Plenty. 49 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Gracias, señor. Gracias. 50 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Maybe I'm going to like Mexico after all. Look, Martin, I don't know how much Collins told you about the setup. 51 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Not much. Said there was a chance for some money and plus a little excitement. 52 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000 He didn't tell you there might be more than excitement. Jail, maybe, or worse. 53 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000 He mentioned it. Oh. Okay, then. You understand that we've got a tequilas proposition on our hands. 54 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000 We've got to be careful, especially with these people. If they knew what we were planning. 55 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Okay, what are we planning? We struck a rich vein of gold quartz in the remote mountains about 20 miles from here. 56 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000 I've got my crew mining as fast as we can before anybody around here finds out about it. So? 57 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 The tough part comes in getting it out of the country. There's a wave of Mexico for Mexicans right now, 58 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000 and if we haul the ore out to the regular stamping mill in town, the government will confiscate most of the gold. 59 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 I see. So you bring me in to set up a small stamping mill at the mine and mill the ore there. 60 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Right. We figure that in the next month we can sluice out maybe a half million dollars worth of free gold, 61 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 then get out quick before anybody gets wise. 62 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Half a million dollars? Yes, but we'll still have to smuggle it out of the country. It's going to be a tough job. 63 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Kid stuff. Yeah, it's not just the law we've got to worry about. 64 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Well, what else? The leader? Sure. These people would inform us if they found out, 65 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000 but they wouldn't tell the government. They'd tell some bandit gang around in the hills somewhere. 66 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Bandits. I suppose they got a Robin Hood down here, too. 67 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Okay, Morton, maybe you'll learn. Well, at that a half a million would tempt anybody. 68 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000 And a 20th of that is your share. Maybe 25,000. That's not hey. 69 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Senor. Careful, Morton. Senor. 70 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Senor. Quiero ustedes otra vez? No, no, gracias. 71 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Cuanto? Un peso. 72 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Gracias, senor. Hello, leader. 73 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Sí, senor. You understand comprender English? 74 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000 Sí, senor. I speak Inglés muy good. Oh, so I see. 75 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Never mind, baby. A little is enough. Your old man never give you any time off? 76 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000 ¿Qué, senor? No comprendo. 77 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Well, let's put it another way. Are you doing anything Saturday night? 78 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Wait a minute, Morton. I do not make any dates. 79 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Why not? A guy can't work all the time, especially with stuff like this around. 80 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 You don't expect me to stay up there. Be quiet, you fool. 81 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Okay. Never mind, beautiful. See you later. Comprende? 82 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Sí, senor. See you later. 83 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Yeah, you get the idea. 84 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Hasta luego. 85 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Look, Morton, I warned you. Be careful. 86 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself and her. 87 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Just remember, there's a half a million involved. 88 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Yeah, half a million. 89 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Maybe, all together, for the company. 25,000 for you. 90 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Half a million dollars. Listen, Morton. 91 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000 And 25,000 for me. That's not enough for you? 92 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000 It'll do for a start. 93 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 You think you're a pretty big shot, don't you, Morton? 94 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000 And you don't like it, is that it? 95 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 I don't like you. 96 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 That boss is still out there. 97 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000 And you could get another engineer down here in maybe six weeks. 98 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Something tells me I ought to take you up on that, but I don't have to like you. 99 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 As long as you do your job and stay out of trouble. 100 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Okay, then let's leave it at that. 101 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Whatever happens, it won't be me who'll have any regrets. 102 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000 The setup was just like Quinn said. 103 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Except that the ore was even richer than I'd expected. 104 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000 There was a pile of it already mined, and I put them into work right away assembling the stamping mill. 105 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000 You know, hard rock miners are funny. 106 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000 They hate being bossed by an engineer who's learned all his mining out of books. 107 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 And they didn't like it either that I was getting a bigger share of the net than they were. 108 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 And of course, to add that, my looks, the yellow hair, and the baby face. 109 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000 I knew that sooner or later I'd have to show them that they couldn't draw any wrong conclusions from my face. 110 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Well, it didn't take long for the showdown to come. 111 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Come on, Hank, let's knock off. Charles is ready. 112 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Wait a minute, Logan. 113 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Yeah? 114 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000 That sluice is not tight. 115 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000 You better get down there and tighten up those bolts. 116 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000 You can wait till tomorrow.

I was a fool to trust the leader. 403 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 I thought she was okay. She sent word to El Chico about the gold. 404 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000 You blaster, did he?
