WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:08.000 Auto Light and its 96,000 dealers present Suspense. 00:08.000 --> 00:19.000 Tonight, Auto Light brings you Over the Bounding Main, a suspense play starring Mr. Dan Daly. 00:19.000 --> 00:34.000 Auto Light 00:34.000 --> 00:40.000 Ouch! For heaven sakes, Marty. When are you going to put a light in this garage? 00:40.000 --> 00:42.000 Sorry, honey. I forgot. 00:42.000 --> 00:49.000 You forgot. Too bad you can't forget to wake up some morning. 00:49.000 --> 00:53.000 Look, just because you had a couple too many drinks at the Warrens, you don't have to get nasty. 00:53.000 --> 00:59.000 I had too many. Are you kidding? I watched you. Don't think I didn't. 00:59.000 --> 01:02.000 Oh, come on. Let's go in. I've got to be downtown early. 01:02.000 --> 01:07.000 For what? As you can make enough to buy a house at Catalina like the Warrens? 01:07.000 --> 01:14.000 Get a new car? There's a little thing called money. But you wouldn't know. You've got to find the right job. 01:14.000 --> 01:18.000 Are we going to go over that again? Yes, we're going over that again. 01:18.000 --> 01:21.000 I'm ashamed when I go out. Did you see what she was wearing? 01:21.000 --> 01:23.000 Keep your voice down, the neighbors. 01:23.000 --> 01:25.000 You say that again and I'll kill you. 01:25.000 --> 01:28.000 You'll be sorry in the morning. I'll be sorry all right. 01:28.000 --> 01:32.000 Sorry like every other morning. Because you'll be here. 01:32.000 --> 01:42.000 In just a moment, Mr. Dan Daly in the first act of Over the Bounding Main. 01:42.000 --> 01:46.000 Say, Wilcox, what's your favorite fall hobby? 01:46.000 --> 01:48.000 Fishing. And for what? 01:48.000 --> 01:52.000 For compliments on ignition engineered auto light spark plugs. And I catch plenty. 01:52.000 --> 01:54.000 What kind of bait do you use? 01:54.000 --> 01:58.000 Cars with sluggish gas hungry engines whose spark plugs are not functioning properly. 01:58.000 --> 02:03.000 When auto light spark plugs go to work on these lazy, limp and listless lorries, 02:03.000 --> 02:06.000 wow, they start up like a trout after a fly. 02:06.000 --> 02:11.000 Speed along smooth as a sailfish and use less gas than a salmon swimming downstream. 02:11.000 --> 02:13.000 You must have a pretty good line. 02:13.000 --> 02:16.000 Yes, sir. The auto light spark plug line is the best there is. 02:16.000 --> 02:20.000 Because auto light spark plugs are designed by the same auto light engineers 02:20.000 --> 02:26.000 who designed the coil distributor and all the other important parts that make up the complete ignition system. 02:26.000 --> 02:31.000 Used as original factory equipment on many of America's leading makes of cars. 02:31.000 --> 02:36.000 When you replace worn out spark plugs with ignition engineered auto light spark plugs, you get... 02:36.000 --> 02:40.000 quick starts, smoother performance, gas savings. 02:40.000 --> 02:41.000 I'm hoped, Harlow. 02:41.000 --> 02:43.000 Thank you, my fickle fisherman. 02:43.000 --> 02:49.000 Friends, this fall have your spark plugs checked by your friendly auto light spark plug dealer. 02:49.000 --> 02:54.000 And have him replace worn out spark plugs with new ignition engineered auto light resistor 02:54.000 --> 02:56.000 or standard type spark plugs. 02:56.000 --> 03:00.000 Then you'll know why you're always right with auto light. 03:00.000 --> 03:05.000 And now with over the bounding main and the performance of Mr. Dan Daly, 03:05.000 --> 03:10.000 auto light hopes once again to keep you in suspense. 03:16.000 --> 03:21.000 If you don't need a rest, I certainly do, Marty. I'm so tired of this lousy apartment I could scream. 03:21.000 --> 03:23.000 So scream and let the neighbors have some fun. 03:23.000 --> 03:26.000 I'm sick of them too. The Warrens were darn nice to invite us. 03:26.000 --> 03:28.000 I didn't say we can't go. 03:28.000 --> 03:31.000 You never say anything anymore or do anything either. 03:31.000 --> 03:34.000 You're sure in a swell mood tonight. I should have stayed downtown. 03:34.000 --> 03:35.000 In which joint? 03:35.000 --> 03:36.000 Lay off, I'm tired. 03:36.000 --> 03:38.000 From what? You're not working. 03:38.000 --> 03:40.000 Now don't start that again. You know I'm looking. 03:40.000 --> 03:44.000 Looking? Can I live on nothing? Look at these clothes. I'm ashamed to go out in the street. 03:44.000 --> 03:48.000 Now tell me how much better off you were when you were married to that wise operator, Lou. 03:48.000 --> 03:51.000 I was. At least I own shoes without holes in them. 03:51.000 --> 03:54.000 Yeah. Lou Barris was just a little dream man. 03:54.000 --> 03:58.000 Just so ginger peachy you could hardly wait to leave town with me. 03:58.000 --> 04:01.000 The day I divorced Lou I wondered if I was making a mistake. 04:01.000 --> 04:05.000 And the day after I became Mrs. Martin Evans I knew I hadn't. 04:05.000 --> 04:07.000 You're going to be a lot of fun on this fishing trip. 04:07.000 --> 04:09.000 Don't tell me we're going after all. 04:09.000 --> 04:11.000 I can stand a vacation too. 04:11.000 --> 04:13.000 They call it the Pacific Ocean. It means peaceful. 04:13.000 --> 04:22.000 Which is something I could use right now. 04:22.000 --> 04:25.000 I guess a lot of it was my fault. 04:25.000 --> 04:28.000 I wanted the right kind of a job and it was hard to find. 04:28.000 --> 04:32.000 Ever since Claire had got rid of Lou Barris or X we'd been living pretty close. 04:32.000 --> 04:34.000 And Claire wasn't used to it. 04:34.000 --> 04:39.000 The Warrens made it worse. They were well-heeled and I was supposed to keep up with the Warrens. 04:39.000 --> 04:41.000 I knew I couldn't ever do it. 04:41.000 --> 04:44.000 Maybe Claire knew it too. 04:44.000 --> 04:48.000 Claire had got the invitation for us to go with the Warrens, the Catalinas. 04:48.000 --> 04:52.000 So now we were driving down 22nd Street and sent Pedro to the landing. 04:52.000 --> 05:00.000 It was nearly six in the morning and you could see a light fog drifting in the harbor. 05:00.000 --> 05:01.000 Don't forget to lock it. 05:01.000 --> 05:03.000 Sure. Look out for the fishing rods, will you? 05:03.000 --> 05:05.000 You better give me the keys. You're so careless. 05:05.000 --> 05:06.000 I won't lose them. 05:06.000 --> 05:09.000 I know you. All that junk in your pockets, you'll lose them. 05:09.000 --> 05:10.000 Don't worry. 05:10.000 --> 05:14.000 I will. Why don't you let me hang on to them? We'll be in a nice mess if we... 05:14.000 --> 05:17.000 All right, all right. Here they are. 05:17.000 --> 05:19.000 Thank you, dear. 05:19.000 --> 05:22.000 I guess we're the first ones here. I don't see Bob's car. 05:22.000 --> 05:24.000 Oh, I forgot to tell you. We're meeting him at the Isthmus. 05:24.000 --> 05:25.000 On the island? 05:25.000 --> 05:27.000 Yeah. He's been there all week. 05:27.000 --> 05:29.000 You didn't say anything about it. I thought... 05:29.000 --> 05:34.000 For Pete's sake, what difference does it make if you're worrying about chartering a boat to get us there you can stop? 05:34.000 --> 05:37.000 It's all arranged. Bob's paying for it. They know you're broke. 05:37.000 --> 05:40.000 Sure, you blabbed that to everyone. I was a great guy when I had it. 05:40.000 --> 05:42.000 Well, you lost it, so let's not talk, shall we? 05:42.000 --> 05:45.000 That's okay with me. 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 That must be the boat down there. 05:47.000 --> 05:49.000 The Pelican. Is that the name? 05:49.000 --> 05:53.000 I think so. Yeah, that's it. 05:53.000 --> 05:56.000 Watch your step. Why the devil do you wear shoes like that on a fishing trip? 05:56.000 --> 06:01.000 Because they're all I have. 06:01.000 --> 06:04.000 Hello? Anyone aboard? 06:04.000 --> 06:07.000 One moment, senor. 06:07.000 --> 06:08.000 Senor Evans? 06:08.000 --> 06:09.000 That's right. 06:09.000 --> 06:12.000 Come aboard, please. 06:12.000 --> 06:14.000 If I may help the lady. 06:14.000 --> 06:16.000 Thanks. 06:16.000 --> 06:19.000 Phew. You can sure tell this is a fishing boat. 06:19.000 --> 06:21.000 You the captain on this tub? 06:21.000 --> 06:25.000 No, no, senor, no. I'm Ignacio. Deckhand. I help to run the engine. 06:25.000 --> 06:27.000 I thought you looked a little young. Where is he? 06:27.000 --> 06:29.000 He went ashore for a minute, senor. 06:29.000 --> 06:31.000 Well, I'm ready anytime he is. 06:31.000 --> 06:33.000 Here, sonny. Take my stuff below. 06:33.000 --> 06:35.000 Yes, senor. I'm ready. 06:35.000 --> 06:36.000 Smart looking kid. 06:36.000 --> 06:39.000 Oh, gosh. Is it only six? I'm sleepy. 06:39.000 --> 06:42.000 You'll wake up when we get going. 06:42.000 --> 06:45.000 Oh, smell that air. 06:45.000 --> 06:47.000 You know, honey, I think we're going to have fun. 06:47.000 --> 06:49.000 There must be a bunk somewhere. I'm going below. 06:49.000 --> 06:50.000 Oh, come on. Stay with me. 06:50.000 --> 06:53.000 No, I'm sleepy. Wake me up when we get there. 06:53.000 --> 06:57.000 Okay, but you'll be sorry. I'm going to start trawling as soon as we clear the harbor. 06:57.000 --> 07:00.000 Hey, senor Evans. There's the captain coming down the dock now. 07:00.000 --> 07:03.000 Oh, yeah? Now we get started, huh? 07:03.000 --> 07:05.000 I read where the albacore are running. 07:05.000 --> 07:09.000 It may be, senor. I have only been working on the pelican for two days. 07:09.000 --> 07:12.000 We have some big white feathered jigs you can troll with that. 07:12.000 --> 07:14.000 That's well. 07:14.000 --> 07:15.000 All set. 07:15.000 --> 07:16.000 Si, si, captain. 07:16.000 --> 07:17.000 Well, let's go then. 07:17.000 --> 07:19.000 I'm Mr. Evans.

All right, let's cast off. 07:23.000 --> 07:25.000 All clear. 07:25.000 --> 07:27.000 I think this fog will lift. 07:27.000 --> 07:29.000 Might. 07:29.000 --> 07:32.000 Any idea how far offshore we might hit albacore? 07:32.000 --> 07:34.000 There's no telling. 07:35.000 --> 07:38.000 How long do you figure for us to reach Catalina? 07:39.000 --> 07:41.000 Depends on the fog. 07:41.000 --> 07:44.000 Oh. Well, I guess I'll go get my outfit rigged up. 07:44.000 --> 07:56.000 Yeah, why don't you do that? 08:01.000 --> 08:04.000 Are you sure the feathers are the best lure for them? 08:04.000 --> 08:06.000 I have caught many albacore with it, senor. 08:06.000 --> 08:08.000 If they're hungry, they will take. 08:08.000 --> 08:10.000 The season has been good. 08:10.000 --> 08:12.000 Well, hey, hey, stop the boat. 08:12.000 --> 08:14.000 Hey, strike, senor. Let him take it now. 08:14.000 --> 08:15.000 Give him line. 08:15.000 --> 08:17.000 Give it to me.

What's the matter with him? 08:29.000 --> 08:31.000 I want to lose my line. I can't hold him. 08:31.000 --> 08:33.000 Brace yourself against the rail. 08:33.000 --> 08:35.000 Go tell that fool captain to stop the boat with this. 08:35.000 --> 08:36.000 Si, si. 08:36.000 --> 08:37.000 Captain, strike. 08:37.000 --> 08:39.000 Senor, look out. 08:39.000 --> 08:46.000 The rail, I... 08:46.000 --> 08:48.000 Are you hurt, senor? 08:48.000 --> 08:50.000 No. 08:50.000 --> 08:52.000 Thanks, if you hadn't pushed me out of going over. 08:52.000 --> 08:56.000 I just can't understand it, the rail breaking that way. 08:56.000 --> 08:59.000 What the devil was Moran trying to do? 08:59.000 --> 09:00.000 We could have been killed. 09:00.000 --> 09:02.000 You tell him to stop, he speeds up. 09:02.000 --> 09:03.000 Well, maybe he didn't hear me. 09:03.000 --> 09:07.000 I want a few words with that joker. 09:07.000 --> 09:10.000 Hey, do you know I almost went into the drink? 09:10.000 --> 09:12.000 The rail at the stern broke. 09:12.000 --> 09:14.000 That's too bad. I'll have to get it fixed. 09:14.000 --> 09:16.000 Yeah? What the devil were you trying to do? 09:16.000 --> 09:17.000 The kid yelled for you to stop. 09:17.000 --> 09:18.000 I'm sorry. 09:18.000 --> 09:19.000 I thought he wanted me to put him out. 09:19.000 --> 09:21.000 I thought you'd lost your tackle. 09:21.000 --> 09:22.000 I done, he lost my skin. 09:22.000 --> 09:24.000 The Ignacio had him in so quick on his feet... 09:24.000 --> 09:26.000 Sorry. 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 That's the way he said it. 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 Just like he dropped ashes on the rug 09:35.000 --> 09:38.000 or maybe brushed you casually on the street. 09:38.000 --> 09:39.000 Sorry. 09:39.000 --> 09:41.000 That was dandy. 09:41.000 --> 09:43.000 I've wrecked your car, made love to your wife, strangled your mother, 09:43.000 --> 09:45.000 but it's okay, mister, I'm sorry. 09:45.000 --> 09:48.000 And that was all I got. 09:48.000 --> 09:49.000 He just turned back to the wheel 09:49.000 --> 09:52.000 and then something stuck in my memory. 09:52.000 --> 09:54.000 I kept thinking I'd seen the guy before. 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 Never talked to him, I met him. 09:56.000 --> 09:58.000 Somehow I knew him. 09:58.000 --> 10:00.000 I looked him over. 10:00.000 --> 10:04.000 Six foot one, black hair, the usual amount of face. 10:04.000 --> 10:06.000 I couldn't pin him down. 10:06.000 --> 10:08.000 I figured it was just one of those mental tricks 10:08.000 --> 10:11.000 or maybe he looked like my Uncle Phil and let it go. 10:11.000 --> 10:14.000 I started after when all of a sudden Claire came out on deck. 10:14.000 --> 10:17.000 She rushed to the stern, looked over, and then spun around and saw me. 10:17.000 --> 10:19.000 She had a strange look in her eye 10:19.000 --> 10:22.000 and her face was as white as a seagull's wing. 10:24.000 --> 10:26.000 What's the matter, are you sick? 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 No, I... 10:28.000 --> 10:30.000 Yes, I think I'm seasick. 10:30.000 --> 10:32.000 There is a bit of a swell. 10:32.000 --> 10:34.000 Stay on deck, you'll feel better. 10:34.000 --> 10:36.000 No, I'm gonna lie down again. 10:36.000 --> 10:39.000 Okay. Gee, you look pretty bad. 10:39.000 --> 10:41.000 Come on, I'll help you down. 10:45.000 --> 10:47.000 I'm all right. Going back up. 10:47.000 --> 10:50.000 Whoo! No wonder you feel lousy. 10:50.000 --> 10:53.000 The smell. Oil and dead bait. 10:53.000 --> 10:55.000 I'm not kidding, you'll feel better up there. 10:55.000 --> 10:57.000 Let me alone, will you? 10:57.000 --> 10:59.000 Hey, what's the matter with the engine? 10:59.000 --> 11:00.000 How should I know? 11:00.000 --> 11:01.000 Well, take it easy. 11:01.000 --> 11:03.000 I'll take it easy. 11:07.000 --> 11:08.000 What's wrong, Moran? 11:08.000 --> 11:10.000 No, nothing serious. 11:10.000 --> 11:12.000 He'll be on our way in a few minutes. 11:12.000 --> 11:14.000 Looks like the fire's getting thick. 11:14.000 --> 11:16.000 Don't you think you ought to sound your horn? 11:16.000 --> 11:17.000 It's on the blink. 11:17.000 --> 11:19.000 Swell. This tub's in great shape. 11:19.000 --> 11:20.000 It'll do. 11:20.000 --> 11:21.000 Where's the kid? 11:21.000 --> 11:24.000 Ignacio. He's below, hunting down the trouble. 11:24.000 --> 11:26.000 Nice kid, you know. 11:26.000 --> 11:28.000 If it wasn't for him, then... 11:28.000 --> 11:30.000 I want to give him something when we get off. 11:30.000 --> 11:32.000 Look at that. 11:32.000 --> 11:34.000 I saw a couple of boils out there a minute ago. 11:34.000 --> 11:37.000 Albaco, get your line in the water. Relax. 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 It was a fine way to relax. 11:46.000 --> 11:49.000 Drifting in the Catalina Channel with no motor, no fog horn, 11:49.000 --> 11:51.000 and you couldn't see more than 20 feet out. 11:51.000 --> 11:54.000 I threw my line in and tried to forget it. 11:54.000 --> 11:57.000 And the way the Albaco was striking, I almost did. 11:57.000 --> 11:59.000 After a couple of hours, maybe three, I'd had enough, 11:59.000 --> 12:02.000 so I folded up with my back to the bait tank and dozed off. 12:02.000 --> 12:06.000 When I woke up, we were still drifting, and the fog was even thicker. 12:06.000 --> 12:08.000 Then I realized it was getting dark. 12:08.000 --> 12:11.000 I started to look for Moran. I felt something was wrong, 12:11.000 --> 12:13.000 something besides the motor. 12:13.000 --> 12:16.000 And when I heard their voices, I knew it. 12:16.000 --> 12:18.000 I can't.

15:04.360 --> 15:10.640 Then from somewhere a foghorn sounded off in the distance and I came too like someone had thrown water on my face. 15:10.640 --> 15:12.440 I almost laughed at myself. 15:12.440 --> 15:17.960 The Warrens were probably playing can-ass over in Brentwood or drinking beer in front of somebody's television set. 15:17.960 --> 15:25.040 This fishing trip was Claire's idea and the only thing she planned on booking was a $20,000 policy on the life of Martin Evans. 15:25.040 --> 15:27.200 I moved away and tore the stern. 15:27.200 --> 15:29.080 I needed help now. 15:29.080 --> 15:31.440 And maybe there was somebody I could count on. 15:31.440 --> 15:34.240 That young deckhand, Ignacio. 15:34.240 --> 15:35.840 I found him all right. 15:35.840 --> 15:40.760 Sprawl on his face in the bow lying over the anchor. 15:40.760 --> 15:42.120 Kid. 15:42.120 --> 15:43.200 Ignacio. 15:43.200 --> 15:45.200 Hey. 15:45.200 --> 15:45.760 Wake up. 15:45.760 --> 15:46.640 Hey, kid. 15:46.640 --> 15:47.240 Wake up. 15:47.240 --> 15:48.240 Come on. 15:48.240 --> 15:49.440 Go on, son. 15:49.440 --> 15:50.800 Oh, my God. 15:56.280 --> 15:58.520 He smelled like a distillery. 15:58.520 --> 16:02.560 I shook him, slapped him as hard as I dared, but he went right on sleeping. 16:02.560 --> 16:05.360 Captain Moran had taken good care of the only friend I had. 16:05.360 --> 16:09.680 With the Mickeys poured into him, he'd be lucky if he ever woke up. 16:09.680 --> 16:12.040 Now I was good and scared. 16:12.040 --> 16:13.400 It was almost completely dark. 16:13.400 --> 16:17.520 Moran would be coming on deck and then I remembered the gap. 16:17.520 --> 16:20.600 The pole with a razor sharp hook at the end. 16:20.600 --> 16:24.280 I'd use it to pull up the albacore on deck. 16:24.280 --> 16:29.440 I moved to the stern quietly, feeling with my feet because I couldn't see now. 16:29.440 --> 16:33.200 And I tripped over something and fell on the deck. 16:33.200 --> 16:34.920 It was the gas. 16:34.920 --> 16:36.560 I grabbed it and got up. 16:36.560 --> 16:37.360 Evans?

18:14.720 --> 18:17.320 Penalty for mutiny is a rough one. 18:17.320 --> 18:22.320 After all these years, the book still calls for hanging on the public dock. 18:22.320 --> 18:25.120 But maybe he can plead insanity, huh? 18:25.120 --> 18:28.560 And I'm sorry he had to kill you, Evans. 18:28.560 --> 18:29.560 You won't get me. 18:29.560 --> 18:30.560 You won't get me. 18:30.560 --> 18:31.560 Yes, he does. 18:31.560 --> 18:32.560 Did he?
