Greatest Show On Earth The

00:02:15 We bring you the circus.
00:02:18 The pied piper, whose magic tunes lead
00:02:23 into a tinsel and spun-candy
00:02:28 and mounting laughter, whirling thrills,
00:02:31 the rhythm, excitement and grace
00:02:34 of daring and blaring and dance,
00:02:36 of high-stepping horses
00:02:41 But behind all this,
00:02:43 the circus is a massive machine
00:02:45 whose very life depends on
00:02:49 A mechanized army on wheels
00:02:52 that rolls over any
00:02:55 that meets calamity again and again,
00:02:58 but always comes up smiling.
00:03:01 A place where disaster and
00:03:05 haunt the backyard and
00:03:09 where death is constantly watching
00:03:12 for one frayed rope, one weak link,
00:03:17 or one trace of fear.
00:03:20 A fierce, primitive fighting force
00:03:23 that smashes relentlessly
00:03:27 that is the circus.
00:03:29 And this is the story of
00:03:33 and of the men and women who fight
00:03:43 - Morning, Mr. Braden.
00:03:45 - When's the new horse arriving, Brad?
00:03:51 Don't rub them thin, Jimmy.
00:03:54 They've rung in some good shows.
00:03:57 - Hi.
00:04:00 How are the kids?
00:04:01 Oh, just fine, except they were playing
00:04:04 That's nice.
00:04:05 Yes, but Randy came down
00:04:08 What? No. Any signs?
00:04:10 No, not yet, but baby
00:04:13 I'll have Higgins give
00:04:15 and double their cod liver oil.
00:04:18 You stay healthy now, boy, you hear?
00:04:20 Say, is it true were only gonna
00:04:23 Don't believe all you hear.
00:04:24 - See?
00:04:26 I told you there was nothing to it.
00:04:36 - How's Myrtle?
00:04:39 Give her some gin and ginger.
00:04:43 - Any news about a full season?
00:04:46 Be sure Myrtle gets all the gin.
00:04:55 - Same old trouble?
00:04:57 Well, get a billiard
00:05:03 Better feed your bird, Lou.
00:05:05 Hey, Brad, Betty in the cookhouse said
00:05:08 were only gonna play
00:05:11 And then close up like a misers heart.
00:05:14 Well, if they're giving
00:05:16 Why the rehearsal just for makeup, Brad?
00:05:18 Because you left off your eyelashes
00:05:21 You're gonna need an extra shoe
00:05:24 I'm supposed to be looking for you, Brad.
00:05:26 Well, are you supposed to find me?
00:05:27 Big brass hollering for you up front.
00:05:30 You found me.
00:05:33 Hey, Brad, this might help.
00:05:35 Too small.
00:05:45 Skim off the cream.
00:05:47 Let the little shows
00:05:50 Don't forget what circus
00:05:53 John North, you're just
00:05:55 It's suicide to play this
00:05:58 - You gonna tell that to Brad?
00:05:59 A good circus boss carries out orders.
00:06:01 My vote is 10 weeks
00:06:03 But for 80 years...
00:06:04 That order about keeping the grounds
00:06:08 - Hi, Brad. I'm sorry about that.
00:06:10 I've seen happier heads on canes.
00:06:12 We sent for you, Brad, to tell you
00:06:13 we've got to pass up the
00:06:15 - Times have changed.
00:06:17 - Prices have.
00:06:19 You hope.
00:06:20 Look, Brad, here's the
00:06:24 That's only 10 weeks.
00:06:26 Sixty percent of our money comes from
00:06:29 The worlds upside down,
00:06:31 Our people risk their necks twice a day.
00:06:34 Well have a short season,
00:06:37 Troubles part of the circus.
00:06:38 They said Barnum was in
00:06:40 They said he was
00:06:43 Were the greatest show on earth, and
00:06:46 because the world has a stomach ache.
00:06:48 And you can't risk $25,000 a day
00:06:51 If you'll play only the big cities, you'll
00:06:55 In two seasons, you'll destroy what
00:06:58 I might vote a few weeks more
00:07:00 - Holly isn't known.
00:07:03 - Didn't you tell him, John?
00:07:05 Who is it, Johnny?
00:07:07 Have you brought Gargantua back to life?
00:07:10 The Great Sebastian.
00:07:11 - What?
00:07:12 Obviously, you're crazy.
00:07:14 Sebastian's wrecked
00:07:16 - But he draws like sugar in fly time.
00:07:19 - He's never worked for Brad.
00:07:22 I'm buying the best
00:07:24 Well, he may be a god in the air,
00:07:28 You mean with women?
00:07:29 Do you know how many
00:07:31 He's not that good, no
00:07:32 - Things are bad enough as it is.
00:07:34 You haven't sold me. I'm still
00:07:38 - Are you for Sebastian?
00:07:40 Because the only way we could get him
00:07:43 I knew there was a trick in it.
00:07:45 You can't get good acts
00:07:47 Cool off, Brad.
00:07:48 Were going to stay out as
00:07:51 Agreed?
00:07:52 - As long as we make money, yes.
00:07:53 Well, I don't like it, John.
00:07:55 Thank you, gentlemen. That's it.
00:07:56 And you'd better start
00:07:58 - Let me show you...
00:08:00 I can't believe it.
00:08:04 Hey, Lucky, keep those cats
00:08:07 Okay, Mr. Braden.
00:08:09 - Brad?
00:08:11 You know Sebastian only
00:08:14 I know it.
00:08:15 Id rather crawl in that cage of cats
00:08:17 than have to tell Holly
00:08:21 So would I.
00:08:22 You can blame me if you want to.
00:08:25 Thanks, but it's my
00:08:30 Come on, boy. Come on.
00:08:35 Hey, Tuffy, off your
00:08:38 And give me a little
00:08:40 You got ample rope now for a hanging.
00:08:42 One more and I'm going to
00:08:44 No deal. I'll put up a net.
00:08:45 What do you think I am, a fish?
00:08:48 You better use a net for this
00:08:50 and Brad will break mine.
00:08:52 Now don't get sentimental,
00:08:54 If Brad sees this,
00:08:58 Snap your legs now.
00:09:00 All the way together, Lena.
00:09:01 Point your toes, Janet.
00:09:04 Relax, relax.
00:09:05 - Any news?
00:09:07 Come on, now. Lets get over it.
00:09:10 Faster, Loni, faster.
00:09:19 What gives, Buttons?
00:09:21 Holly's hatched up a new
00:09:24 Quiet around the centre ring!
00:09:26 Everybody, still a minute, please!
00:09:30 Time...
00:09:33 Terrific, Holly!
00:09:35 Pretty good.
00:09:39 Hi, Brad. Do you like it?
00:09:40 You try it again and I'll ground you.
00:09:42 It's the finish on my new act.
00:09:44 It'll finish you and your act.
00:09:47 Don't you want to see it once more?
00:09:48 No. Come on down.
00:09:50 Okay, you're the boss. Watch
00:09:56 - Oh, brother.
00:09:57 - Down on seconds.
00:10:00 That ankle drop is out. I
00:10:08 That's for making the big
00:10:11 You got that trapeze
00:10:14 But you're the kind of fellow who
00:10:18 - You did, didn't you?
00:10:19 Hey, kids, Brad fixed it.
00:10:21 Were gonna play the
00:10:26 Did you hear that,
00:10:29 Down, move down. Make
00:10:32 Why?
00:10:33 Do I have to have an
00:10:35 You know, I think it is the trousers.
00:10:37 Wherever there are trousers, you go.
00:10:39 - Full season, Loni.
00:10:42 The full season will buy
00:10:45 What you have on, I like.
00:10:47 Well, sugar, like it
00:10:51 - No layoff, Buzzy!
00:10:53 Were hitting the sticks.
00:10:54 Terrific.
00:11:04 Okay...
00:11:05 A full season, isn't that swell?
00:11:08 You're wonderful!
00:11:09 All right, quiet down,
00:11:13 Now, listen, and get this, all of you.
00:11:16 We only stay out as long
00:11:18 Well be in the black, right?
00:11:20 You mean we all got
00:11:24 - And Sebastian, too!
00:11:27 - Sebastian?
00:11:30 - Oh, no, he's not.
00:11:33 Ain't he in Europe?
00:11:34 - Oh, boy, wait till you see him.
00:11:36 Well, I don't know, but I heard
00:11:39 Is that true, Brad?
00:11:41 News sure travels fast around here.
00:11:45 He's strictly centre ring, isn't he?
00:11:47 That's right.
00:11:54 - Hi. Ain't it great?
00:11:56 Oh, boy!
00:11:58 Do you know what this is?
00:11:59 Well, sure. It's my
00:12:03 Put it in your gabby
00:12:05 - Where'd you leave the props?
00:12:08 He can take care of us now.
00:12:10 All right. Get your bits,
00:12:13 Well, I guess I know where I stand.
00:12:15 - Holly, listen...
00:12:17 More promises about next
00:12:20 I was a fool to believe you.
00:12:22 You'd sell out your own
00:12:24 - You know there's nobody...
00:12:26 I couldn't take that.
00:12:27 I'm sorry there's only one centre ring.
00:12:30 Oh, sure. I know. The show comes first.
00:12:32 I didn't want to do this.
00:12:33 Save your breath. I know
00:12:36 Oh, Brad, I had the centre ring.
00:12:40 Holly, you want the show
00:12:42 I worked in every act in this circus.
00:12:43 I'm in spec, I'm in manage, I'm
00:12:46 I fill in with the flyers.
00:12:48 Well, so do most of the others. It
00:12:51 But my own act,
00:12:52 the one thing that's really mine,
00:12:55 that you toss right
00:12:56 Pigeon, look, you're the
00:12:59 - Then why don't you leave me in centre?
00:13:03 Brad, I'll draw them. Leave me there.
00:13:05 Sebastian's sure. You're a chance.
00:13:12 You don't take chances
00:13:16 No.
00:13:18 All right.
00:13:20 I'll move over.
00:13:22 Where do I go?
00:13:25 Ring one.
00:13:28 Oh, Brad,
00:13:30 Id do my act in clown alley
00:13:34 Id do anything if it was just for you.
00:13:37 Pigeon, look, out under the sky,
00:13:42 But under the big top, one
00:13:46 You've got nothing but
00:13:48 I've scraped too many of you
00:13:51 to let anybody get under my skin.
00:13:53 Just so the show rolls.
00:13:54 You don't care who it
00:13:56 So it rolls over me.
00:13:57 Be careful someday it
00:13:59 Don't worry.
00:14:01 I'll have my rigging out of centre
00:14:05 - Tuffy, tear down my rigging.
00:14:14 Like peanuts, Harry?
00:14:17 I got everything lined up, Mr. Henderson.
00:14:19 Gaff wheels, novelties for sucker bait,
00:14:21 and two of the best
00:14:23 I'll work it just like the Columbia show.
00:14:25 No, Harry, you got a tough guy
00:14:28 Brad Braden? I'll handle him.
00:14:31 With your brains, you
00:14:33 Listen, if Braden gets in my
00:14:37 He'd break you in two.
00:14:39 Not with you backing me, Mr. Henderson.
00:14:41 He's too smart to tangle with your boys.
00:14:43 I'll cut him in, maybe.
00:14:46 You can't buy men like Braden.
00:14:51 Okay, I'll go around him.
00:14:54 Great.
00:14:56 What about the bankroll for the games?
00:15:00 Have some more peanuts, Harry.
00:15:04 Peanuts?
00:15:19 Hi, potato. Getting ready to roll?
00:15:22 What's the potato gag?
00:15:24 - Here, wrap that for me, will you?
00:15:28 Well, there's mashed potatoes and
00:15:32 I don't feel very sweet,
00:15:35 except maybe about you.
00:15:38 You're always helping everybody, Buttons.
00:15:40 - Brad asked me to help you.
00:15:45 Maybe he was just worried I
00:15:47 before The Great Sebastian arrives.
00:15:49 Could be. Could be.
00:15:51 He doesn't consider anybody's feelings
00:15:54 You're telling me. I'm
00:15:57 Well, why don't you spit then?
00:16:00 You know, Brads not
00:16:02 like the tractors and the generators.
00:16:05 Why, Buttons, I thought
00:16:08 Well, he broke his word to you.
00:16:12 That isn't true!
00:16:13 Brads been worried sick about
00:16:16 If he had to throw me out, he
00:16:20 You didn't mean any
00:16:23 I made you see it his
00:16:27 Darn you.
00:16:28 - You make me feel like a big idiot.
00:16:33 Well, anyway, I'm still mad at
00:16:38 Say, that's pretty neat.
00:16:40 Reminds me of a bandage I wore
00:16:48 Buttons, why can Brad hurt me so?
00:16:52 Why do I always want to hurt him back?
00:16:57 They say each man kills
00:17:01 A coward does it with a kiss,
00:17:05 Why, that's crazy.
00:17:07 You wouldn't hurt anyone you loved.
00:17:09 Who knows what a man
00:17:12 Every girl in the
00:17:15 But I guess you already
00:17:17 Could be.
00:17:19 Is she in one of the
00:17:23 I haven't seen the route sheet.
00:17:24 Is that why you don't try
00:17:28 No. Clowns are funny people, Holly.
00:17:30 They only love once.
00:17:33 All men aren't that way even
00:17:38 No, I suppose not.
00:17:40 Oh, Buttons, I'm all ache inside,
00:17:45 having a man love sawdust more than me.
00:17:48 Well, maybe he'll have
00:17:51 Choice?
00:17:53 If ever I'm in his arms, his
00:17:56 - or bedding down the hippopotamus.
00:18:00 You're lucky. Everybody loves you.
00:18:03 Ten million kids and your girl.
00:18:08 You'll be seeing her pretty soon.
00:18:10 We roll in three days.
00:18:13 Yeah.
00:18:16 Yeah.
00:18:21 Into the sunshine of spring,
00:18:23 the circus rises from
00:18:27 spick-and-span,
00:18:28 and ready for eight months
00:18:32 The circus trains, like Noah's Ark,
00:18:35 will carry and shelter man and beast
00:18:38 through flood and mud
00:18:41 through triumph and adversity.
00:18:43 1,400 souls,
00:18:46 each sure the season will
00:18:49 - You dropped something!
00:18:53 Why don't you drive where you're looking?
00:18:55 I wish one of your dogs would bite you.
00:19:01 All right, boys! Come on.
00:19:05 All right. Keep it coming.
00:19:07 Keep it coming.
00:19:18 Get tight in front of those wheels.
00:19:20 Can't locate Sebastian. Tried
00:19:22 Straighten that wagon
00:19:25 We pull out in a half an hour
00:19:28 Check both railroad stations and...
00:19:35 - Who's that?
00:19:44 - Hi, Sebastian.
00:19:47 Get a load of that.
00:19:51 Where's the fire at?
00:20:02 Oh, baby!
00:20:14 This ought to be good.
00:20:15 Where is the boss man?
00:20:21 I thought he was.
00:20:24 I am Sebastian. I am
00:20:26 I hope your acts as
00:20:29 I've seen them all arrive,
00:20:32 none of them ever came
00:20:35 The police escort, it was not my idea.
00:20:37 - I clocked him at 75 in a 15-mile
00:20:41 I got him for cutting
00:20:43 on the wrong side of the highway.
00:20:44 In the war, I drive a tank.
00:20:47 Sometimes I forget. I forgot.
00:20:49 Yeah, well, the judge will add
00:20:53 $100?
00:20:58 Then it'll be 60 days in jail.
00:21:00 I would hate to be absent the
00:21:05 Okay, boys. I'll buy him back.
00:21:09 Take my jeep, Lawson.
00:21:11 Get your baggage aboard.
00:21:12 You can park that heap
00:21:15 I salute you.
00:21:16 We shall get along together splendidly.
00:21:27 Hey!
00:21:28 Don't crowd, mister.
00:21:30 Can't you see an elephant, or
00:21:33 I was blinded by the memory of
00:21:38 Blow up your water wings,
00:21:42 Come on, Ruth.
00:21:44 How come no husband ever shot you?
00:21:46 I never offer a sitting target.
00:21:50 I thought Id seen the last of you
00:21:51 when you got mixed up with
00:21:54 You will never see
00:21:56 Angel!
00:21:57 That will be arranged
00:22:02 Angel!
00:22:04 Sebastian!
00:22:08 - Hello, handsome. Remember?
00:22:11 - No, honey ball, Phyllis.
00:22:14 Lovely Phyllis with
00:22:18 Well, I'm still hanging
00:22:20 All right.
00:22:21 It saves your feet. Sure
00:22:24 Thanks for the ride, sugar.
00:22:26 You know Sebastian, eh?
00:22:27 - Sure, were old friends.
00:22:31 Listen, you can worry about
00:22:33 but not Sebastian.
00:22:34 I wouldn't want him if he
00:22:41 We will make beautiful
00:22:43 Yeah, the last time, I
00:22:47 Oh, Natalia was...
00:22:50 Who is that?
00:22:52 They threw me off the ball team
00:22:53 because I was catching
00:22:56 Say, how come the Giants passed you up?
00:22:57 I don't know.
00:22:58 Oh, that's the giant and the fat boy.
00:23:00 No, no. In between.
00:23:02 - Oh, that's Holly.
00:23:05 She's interesting.
00:23:07 I wouldn't meet her
00:23:09 - You're poison.
00:23:11 - You just put her out of the centre ring.
00:23:18 Excuse me.
00:23:23 Music.
00:23:26 - Well, here we go again.
00:23:29 - Oh, my feet are killing me.
00:23:31 Pardon. Is it true what
00:23:33 - I wouldn't know.
00:23:35 Wait a minute!
00:23:37 That they put you out of
00:23:39 I am Sebastian.
00:23:41 - You mean you didn't know?
00:23:44 - I am very, very sorry.
00:23:47 If you're half as good in the
00:23:50 you are at least terrific.
00:23:52 The boss seems to have other ideas.
00:23:55 Say, they tell me that you
00:23:58 No. You work with two bars like I do.
00:24:02 Anyway, I'm glad to meet you.
00:24:04 It means so much to
00:24:07 - Don't be funny.
00:24:09 Would you hold these, please?
00:24:10 - Oh, yes, Sebastian.
00:24:12 - Come.
00:24:14 - To see the boss.
00:24:17 I will insist he put
00:24:23 You aren't kidding me, are you?
00:24:25 - Come and see.
00:24:28 Keep going. This isn't a parking lot.

00:25:06 They'll make you comfortable in her car.
00:25:09 That hippo? She might get hungry.
00:25:11 Don't worry. She's a vegetarian.
00:25:18 Brad! Brad!
00:25:21 Sebastian's got something to tell you.
00:25:23 Better tie him in so
00:25:25 You know what? He wants to

00:25:30 Yeah. Wonderful.
00:25:33 Where do you propose to go?
00:25:35 I have had the centre ring.
00:25:37 Ring one or ring three, as you wish.
00:25:40 He really means it, Brad.
00:25:43 - Holly...
00:25:45 I've wanted that ring ever
00:25:47 Do you know what were paying Sebastian?
00:25:49 You know how his billing

00:25:54 Who do you think you're kidding?
00:25:57 Lm sorry, Holly, but the

00:26:04 The people watch the star, do they?
00:26:06 Well, they're going to be watching me.
00:26:08 If you wont let him
00:26:09 I'll take it away from him.
00:26:11 Oh, no, ma chérie.
00:26:13 I may give it away, but
00:26:17 Look, Sebastian.
00:26:18 You're a nice guy, and I
00:26:20 but I'm going to make
00:26:23 If you do something
00:26:25 If you do a double, I'll do a triple.
00:26:27 If you stand on your

00:30:52 the debonair king of the
00:31:36 It sure packs them in. Best
00:31:40 It's no gag, brother.
00:31:42 You wouldn't kid me, would you?
00:31:43 Kid you? They're working without nets.
00:31:57 Boy, look at that guy.
00:32:02 Look at her!
00:32:10 If they don't get killed.
00:32:13 It's all done with mirrors, mister.
00:32:37 - Well, what are they going to do now?
00:33:21 Should I whistle them down,
00:33:33 No. Leave them alone.
00:33:35 They're doing all right.
00:33:37 Okay. You're the boss.
00:34:38 Hey, Sebastian, try it
00:34:47 How long do you think this can
00:34:49 That's circus, isn't it?
00:35:14 Do you believe in prayer?
00:35:16 And practise.
00:35:17 - What if one of them falls?
00:35:20 This is packing them in every show.
00:35:23 - We stay in the black or close down.
00:35:27 You know, that isn't the
00:35:30 That's your heart.
00:35:31 You know...
00:35:32 I know.
00:37:55 Well, I've had enough.
00:38:01 Well, that was a close one.
00:38:35 Well, are you ready to call it off?
00:38:37 I have not started yet,
00:38:39 - Sure stole it today, Holly.
00:38:41 You two had quite a
00:38:43 Did you notice which
00:38:45 If you really want to kill
00:38:48 Well, what do you know?
00:38:49 So was I.
00:38:50 From here on, cut out the dogfights
00:38:53 Brad, don't be a killjoy.
00:38:55 You don't know what it's like up
00:38:58 Just the two of us
00:39:00 You feel like you could do
00:39:02 Were like two streaks of
00:39:07 You wouldn't understand.
00:39:10 - Nobody would, except another flyer.
00:39:16 Yeah.
00:39:18 Like Sebastian.
00:39:20 Come on, come on. We
00:39:22 - Did you watch the show?
00:39:25 - McClosky wants you, Brad.
00:39:30 - Did you follow me?
00:39:31 - That's not the half of it!
00:39:33 You and Sebastian got an exclusive
00:39:36 Get yourself a trapeze
00:39:37 And don't park your chewing
00:39:40 Why don't he look at me anymore?
00:39:43 Don't worry, sugar.
00:39:45 - I'm hoping.
00:39:47 Did your elephant sit on this zipper?
00:39:48 He says were artists up there together.
00:39:50 He'd tell that to a trained
00:39:52 Maybe he shows his bad side
00:39:55 Listen, Snow White, you're
00:39:57 you're falling for him.
00:39:58 He was good enough for you once.
00:40:00 I wouldn't give Sebastian the right time
00:40:02 if Brad was as nuts about
00:40:04 Brad? Are you kidding?
00:40:05 I come fourth. After Ringling
00:40:08 You're eating too many potatoes.
00:40:10 When Brad doesn't come home nights,
00:40:11 you'll know the blonde he's
00:40:15 Hey, Holly, you trying to corner the
00:40:18 - My...
00:40:20 Get with it, Mabel. Three
00:40:23 Okay.
00:40:25 If it were only you, sugar,
00:40:26 Id let you ride the roller
00:40:29 But I'm thinking about Brad.
00:40:30 Why do you want to bust up
00:40:33 Sounds like you've got it bad.
00:40:34 He's the only guy that looks at me
00:40:37 He's thinking circus.
00:40:39 He hasn't thought anything but circus
00:40:41 But if you want him so
00:40:44 Maybe because I knew too
00:40:45 before I met Brad.
00:40:47 Been around too much, huh?
00:40:48 You haven't been gathering
00:40:51 Brads a one-woman man.
00:40:53 I've got a feeling he
00:40:57 I don't rate a guy like that.
00:40:59 Angel?
00:41:00 Besides, right now she's got
00:41:04 Angel!
00:41:05 You better hurry.
00:41:07 That's what I like about
00:41:09 Who wants them gentle? I like them wild.
00:41:12 Oh, come on, birdie. Get going.
00:41:14 Angel, come along!
00:41:32 You should have seen Brads
00:41:35 She was too busy watching Sebastian.
00:41:36 - Put your claws away, girls.
00:41:39 Gee, if all the Rangers
00:41:41 me for Texas.
00:41:42 You and plenty more, huh, Holly?
00:41:44 Look, all I want from
00:41:46 You always have a smile for
00:41:49 Well, what you want
00:41:51 I feel like a turret gunner.
00:41:55 Made it.
00:41:58 Okay, batten down the hatches.
00:42:00 Hey, Rich, get me a hot dog, will you?
00:42:01 - We ain't got time.
00:42:03 You always are.
00:42:53 An album of favourite songs.
00:42:56 A circus serenade.
00:43:22 A Disney album.

00:43:47 Oh, and there the Mad
00:43:56 A Gay Nineties album.
00:44:21 A moonlight serenade.
00:44:24 The magic of moonlight melodies,
00:44:27 with the lovely Phyllis
00:44:38 Nursery rhymes.
00:44:40 The lady who taught you
00:44:44 Mother Goose!
00:44:46 She's big, isn't she?
00:44:58 A barbershop ballad.
00:45:05 A bouquet of American beauties,
00:45:09 with the lovely Holly
00:45:12 singing Only a Rose.
00:45:41 Gee, you have a funny mouth.
00:45:43 - Let me hold him.
00:45:57 Look it. Isn't it pretty?
00:46:07 They've been around
00:46:11 I'm so worried for you.
00:46:12 Oh, now don't worry. They'll
00:46:15 Be very careful, dear.
00:46:16 Now how about a nice smile
00:46:18 that I can remember till next year?
00:46:20 God be with you, my boy.
00:46:22 It's all right, Mother.
00:46:25 Only a rose
00:46:27 Here we go!
00:46:30 Only a smile to keep in memory
00:46:33 Until we meet another day
00:46:37 Only a rose to whisper
00:46:41 Blushing as roses do
00:46:46 I'll bring along a smile
00:46:54 Only a rose for you
00:47:13 A Stephen Foster album.
00:47:39 A South American album!
00:47:48 Exotic firebirds from
00:47:52 a blaze of breathtaking beauty.
00:48:31 A very special surprise
00:48:34 for children of all ages,
00:48:37 our guest star for tonight,
00:48:40 Hopalong Cassidy!
00:48:45 That's him! Sure, it's Hoppy!
00:49:00 A Christmas album.
00:49:02 Jingle bells, jingle
00:49:06 Oh, what fun it is to ride
00:49:24 Your hair is too red,
00:49:26 you have lips like a cat.
00:49:27 You're no good. You give
00:49:30 Flattery rolls right off me.
00:49:31 But you make a fire here.
00:49:33 Well, simmer down, General,
00:49:41 What could be more fitting
00:49:44 than Adeste Fideles?
00:50:19 The performance ends,
00:50:21 but the drama never stops.
00:50:24 In the grey, drizzly morning,
00:50:27 the first section of the circus
00:50:31 long before the city is awake.
00:50:33 But the animals are awake and
00:50:37 Then comes the unloading.
00:50:39 Two hundred tons of living power.
00:50:45 Wheels rolling, gears grinding.
00:50:48 A circus is gigantic power
00:50:53 It is a restless giant,
00:50:55 unlimbering its muscles
00:50:59 before moving in to capture a new city.
00:51:03 Up from the railroad yards
00:51:06 of early-rising young fans
00:51:11 to follow these living tanks
00:51:13 as they lumber and sway
00:51:16 where the stakes are being driven
00:51:20 against the beating of
00:51:23 wind and rain.
00:51:25 An army is at work, an army
00:51:30 An army that must be moved from
00:51:34 a thousand strong, hardworking men,
00:51:37 moving like a finely-geared
00:51:41 to roll the show.
00:51:43 The all-important baling
00:51:46 Bales of fireproof canvas,
00:51:51 are hauled out, unwrapped, rolled out,
00:51:54 stretched, laid on the ground,
00:51:56 where it lies like the skin
00:52:01 waiting for some magician
00:52:03 to bring it together and give it life,
00:52:07 waiting until, one by one,
00:52:09 the giants ribs rise into place
00:52:13 and are firmly fastened in the earth.
00:52:16 Boys line up for the punt games,
00:52:21 The disciplined army never loses
00:52:25 The boss canvas man makes fast
00:52:29 The lives of all depend on it.
00:52:32 Each of the hundreds of roustabouts
00:52:35 a responsible job, for one
00:52:40 could cost a life.
00:52:41 The giants skin is stretched out
00:52:44 until it lies smooth and moulded,
00:52:47 like the bowl of a great coliseum.
00:52:50 But eyes watching for trouble
00:52:52 have noticed a little
00:52:55 before the searching fingers of the wind
00:52:58 can rip it into a disaster,
00:53:00 before the giant can
00:53:03 over his feast of colour and laughter.
00:53:07 Now the giant comes to life.
00:53:09 Slowly, the tons and
00:53:12 rise and swell into the air.
00:53:15 He starts growing to
00:53:19 as he catches his first deep breath.
00:53:22 The strong baling rings
00:53:25 until at last they reach to
00:53:30 And as the big top rises in
00:53:36 Caution is thrown to the winds
00:53:38 in this battle for the centre ring.
00:53:41 ...55, 56, 57, 58,
00:53:44 59, 60, 61,
00:53:48 62, 63, 64,
00:53:52 65, 66, 67,
00:53:56 68, 69...
00:53:59 I warned her not to do
00:54:02 Yeah. I was there the
00:54:05 ...75, 76, 77,
00:54:09 78, 79, 80,
00:54:13 81, 82, 83,
00:54:17 84, 85, 86,
00:54:21 87, 88, 89,
00:54:25 90, 91, 92,
00:54:29 93, 94, 95,
00:54:33 96, 97, 98...
00:54:38 - Paying for the hay all in silver?
00:54:42 Holly's spinning like a
00:54:44 - Swingovers?
00:54:45 Her rope isn't rigged for that.
00:54:47 Tell the ringmaster to
00:54:48 - Fast.
00:54:49 ...107, 108, 109,
00:54:53 110, 111, 112...
00:54:57 Come on.
00:54:58 114, 115, 116,
00:55:02 117...
00:55:04 - What are they doing, Grandma?
00:55:08 121, 122, 123,
00:55:12 124...
00:55:16 Like a fish on a line!
00:55:26 The red rope!
00:55:40 Hey, you!
00:55:41 You! Are you crazy?
00:55:43 Hauling me down in front of everybody!
00:55:45 Everybody laughing at me!
00:55:48 What's the matter, are you jealous?
00:55:49 Can't you stand to see me
00:55:52 You can't do that trick
00:55:53 - I was doing it, wasn't I?
00:55:56 A hurricane of hazardous horsemanship
00:55:59 displayed by the riding Zoppes!
00:56:02 Why didn't you put her over
00:56:04 That would get some laughs, too.
00:56:07 Haven't you got enough clowns, you
00:56:10 - She was trying to break a record.
00:56:15 You sure saved her a buster.
00:56:17 You better tell her, Brad,
00:56:35 Alberto Zoppe and Cucciola,
00:56:39 worlds smallest bareback rider!
00:58:33 I would buy you spring violets
00:58:36 in the Place de l'Opera
00:58:39 You never eaten them?
00:58:43 Paris is a honeymoon city,
00:58:47 On a night like this, the
00:58:51 like a woman's eyes.
00:58:52 The lights in it are like jewels.
00:58:55 Did you know, chérie, in your eyes
00:59:00 No, but keep going.
00:59:03 You are beautiful and
00:59:07 You know women are like wine?
00:59:08 Some are like sweet Sauternes,
00:59:14 Which one was Angel?
00:59:17 - Angel?
00:59:20 Angel was like cognac,
00:59:23 all fire in a glass.
00:59:25 But you...
00:59:27 You are like champagne.
00:59:32 You make a mans head spin.
00:59:37 - You've got a terrific line.
00:59:41 Well, I mean, you've said all
00:59:45 Well, never to one like you.
00:59:48 Oh, I have wandered a little.
00:59:50 But how else could I appreciate
00:59:55 Id better go.
00:59:57 When we are up in the air,
01:00:01 - You, too, no?
01:00:03 A girl may say no, but
01:00:07 - Do not be afraid of me.
01:00:11 It is not of yourself. It
01:00:14 Feel. My heart beats fast like yours.
01:00:16 - That's the magic of it. You love me.
01:00:25 Let me go! Sebastian!
01:00:27 Never try to take
01:00:29 Sebastian, do something!
01:00:31 A lion, I'll fight for you. A tiger.
01:00:33 But a redheaded wildcat
01:00:39 You make this two-tailed
01:00:42 Did he tell you about
01:00:44 It's none of your
01:00:46 Did he say you were like
01:00:49 No. He said I was like
01:00:53 Yeah, only you'll be the one
01:00:55 You take care of your love
01:00:58 No, I've got four
01:01:00 Well, if you've got an
01:01:03 Joe, send into town.
01:01:04 They had a Republican
01:01:07 Hold it. Here's your
01:01:10 Come on, move it up,
01:01:14 You...
01:01:15 All right. Put her down.
01:01:17 What's this, a new act?
01:01:18 You nearly lost your
01:01:20 You know, you've got a nose as
01:01:22 Keep them both out of my business.
01:01:24 They're looking for this bull
01:01:26 - Ruth just couldn't resist the hay pile.
01:01:30 Come on, sugar. Lets go. Come on.
01:01:33 I think your coffees kind of cold.
01:01:39 - Why did you do that, Holly?
01:01:43 There's just something
01:01:45 Yeah, he's some glamour boy.
01:01:48 He said I had stardust in my eyes.
01:01:53 - I bet you never even noticed.
01:01:56 But you weren't rigged
01:01:58 I know, just so the show keeps rolling.
01:02:01 Come over here. I want
01:02:14 Just a few more spins up there.
01:02:21 - You would've lost a good act.
01:02:25 Now, look, Holly, I want you to
01:02:28 - You do, Brad? Why?
01:02:32 I guess you're right. I
01:02:36 But it's all your fault. If
01:02:39 I'm talking about your act, this
01:02:42 I want you to stop it
01:02:45 Is it me you're worried
01:02:49 - You.
01:02:53 Why couldn't you say so?
01:02:56 But I've got pride.
01:02:59 - With a net under him?
01:03:02 To save his expensive neck.
01:03:04 - Well, I don't want a net.
01:03:08 Sure, Brad. Whatever you say.
01:03:11 And when Sebastian tones
01:03:16 Now, you going to stop

01:03:32 Brad, on the ground...
01:03:34 - Do you want me to stop seeing him?

01:05:07 You are mine.
01:05:09 Listen, sugar, I'm not yours.
01:05:10 And I'm not wearing

01:05:47 - You must be mistaken, friend.
01:05:52 Well, maybe I was.

00:10:14 scorning a net or any
00:10:19 Hope he makes it.
00:10:27 Sebastian, no! Don't
00:10:36 Who took that net down?
00:10:37 - He did. You want it up again?
00:10:57 Go on, now.
00:11:00 Keep the show rolling.
00:11:01 Roll up this net. Clowns!
00:11:03 Holly, keep it going.
00:11:07 No.

00:12:23 - Carefully now.
00:12:24 Back to wardrobe,
00:12:29 - Will he be all right, Doc?
00:12:31 - Thanks for the help, Buttons.
00:12:33 Where did you ever learn
00:12:35 Well, you learn a lot when
00:12:38 You must've been the best in the Navy.
00:12:46 Gee, he's hurt bad.
00:12:50 The other way. Turn him around.
00:12:51 Don't transfer him. Just
00:12:53 Sebastian!
00:12:56 Of all the crazy things.
00:13:00 I didn't mean for it
00:13:03 Only he would try
00:13:06 - And you almost did it.
00:13:09 Sure, you will.
00:13:11 And when you come back, you'll
00:13:13 When I come back, chérie,
00:13:17 All right, get him in there.
00:13:28 Oh, Brad.
00:13:33 Flyers have fallen
00:13:38 He wont die, pigeon.
00:13:41 Your rig goes in centre ring tomorrow.
00:13:44 But I didn't want it like this,
00:13:47 not over his broken body.
00:13:55 Under the big top, only two
00:14:01 The circus rolls on whether
00:14:07 And week after week,
00:14:08 new audiences laugh at
00:14:11 and thrill to incredible
00:14:54 Hot roasted peanuts. Peanuts.
00:15:14 Hot roasted peanuts.
00:15:16 I can't watch it.
00:17:11 Higher, higher!
00:17:13 - Take another crack at it, Holly.
00:17:17 Play it, Emmett. Give me some rhythm.
00:17:19 Yeah, maybe that'll help.
00:17:20 Well, whistle or something.
00:17:22 - Anybody got a lemon?
00:17:27 - Start your jug band.
00:17:29 - Give it plenty of bounce!
00:17:34 Hit it, Holly!
00:17:36 When things go wrong and life's no song
00:17:40 And you're flat on your back
00:17:43 That doesn't mean you have to lie there
00:17:46 Be a jumpin jack
00:17:49 Keep on the hop and if you flop
00:17:52 In every single plan
00:17:56 Stand on your head and holler, Hi, there
00:17:59 Be a jumpin jack
00:18:02 When things go up They must come down
00:18:05 And also vice-a verse
00:18:08 If things look bad, don't fret and frown
00:18:11 They could be ten times worse
00:18:13 Get Emmett!
00:18:15 Your train of luck
00:18:16 It may get stuck
00:18:18 If something's on the track
00:18:21 Take a good jump
00:18:22 And you'll get by there
00:18:24 Be a jumpin jack
00:18:40 Oh, Sebastian, you're back.
00:18:43 - Hi, there, gorgeous.
00:18:44 A stitch in time saves more than nine.
00:18:46 I'll bet they took plenty in you.
00:18:49 Hey, you were doing this when I left.
00:18:56 - Hello.
00:18:58 Yes, but never out of
00:19:01 Hello, Sebastian.
00:19:04 Fine. I hope both your heads are well.
00:19:08 Vita, don't eat too much. You'll
00:19:12 Well, if it isn't Superman!
00:19:15 - Something will get burned.
00:19:22 If you play with fire, you get

00:19:29 Oh, good, good.
00:19:33 Cucciola!
00:19:39 Say, it looks like the
00:19:41 So did the nurses.
00:19:42 - Hi, Sebastian.
00:19:44 I'll open your trunk
00:19:46 Thank you.
00:19:48 Hey, good to see you. Now maybe
00:19:51 Maybe I'll borrow five more.
00:19:53 Sebastian, it sure wasn't
00:19:55 Hello. I practised somersaults
00:19:58 But did you do any bedsprings?
00:20:01 Why is it whenever
00:20:04 In more ways than one.
00:20:07 If you should slip and lose your grip
00:20:10 Get up and bounce right back
00:20:14 Act just like a rubber ball...
00:20:16 Look, Holly! Sebastian!
00:20:20 Sebastian.
00:20:21 He sure looks good.
00:20:23 - It's been three months.
00:20:26 Hello, Sebastian. Glad
00:20:28 I'm sorry you weren't with me.
00:20:31 The show missed you.
00:20:32 Sebastian!
00:20:34 - Sebastian.
00:20:36 Oh, jiminy crickets! Oh, gosh!
00:20:39 I've never been so happy to see anyone.
00:20:41 Are you all right
00:20:44 Let me see if it's really you.
00:20:47 It was a wonderful hospital.
00:20:50 And we were worried about this big lug.
00:20:53 This calls for a celebration.
00:20:54 He came back when he heard how
00:20:57 I was just keeping it warm for you.
00:20:58 - I do not want it.
00:21:01 - You don't want the centre ring back?
00:21:04 Because I just came back
00:21:07 What for?
00:21:09 - Match?
00:21:11 Collect your...
00:21:13 Now I know he's kidding.
00:21:16 No, no. I dropped over
00:21:19 Columbia?
00:21:20 We've been fighting them in
00:21:24 I ran into somebody over there
00:21:27 and very charming.
00:21:31 You know how it is. These things happen.
00:21:34 No. What happens?
00:21:36 You know. A pearl loses
00:21:40 Champagne goes flat, doesn't it?
00:21:43 Even the blond bubbling
00:21:48 Well, I will get my gear and rigging.
00:21:50 You don't plan to work
00:21:52 Let him go, Brad. He's
00:21:54 No, he hasn't.
00:21:56 Chérie, I return you to
00:21:59 You wouldn't work for Columbia.
00:22:02 You wouldn't give up the centre
00:22:04 unless you couldn't hold it.
00:22:06 You've been lying ever
00:22:08 - Now lets see the truth.
00:22:13 - You should not have done that.
00:22:26 You weren't going to Columbia.
00:22:29 There wasn't any girl from Paris.
00:22:32 You just didn't want me to know...
00:22:35 To know what Id done.
00:22:41 No, no, no, chérie.
00:22:45 It is life.
00:22:49 No one is to blame.
00:22:53 - Can't something be done?
00:23:00 May I have my coat, please?
00:23:02 There's a job for you in this
00:23:06 One more cripple
00:23:09 Watching others flying through the
00:23:14 You are meaning to be kind, boss man,
00:23:16 but you and I both know
00:23:21 Don't let him go, Brad!
00:23:23 Holly, he's grounded for good.
00:23:30 - I did that to him.
00:23:34 I did it to him, as
00:23:37 - You had nothing to do with it.
00:23:41 I made him take that net down.
00:23:43 I laughed at him. I razzed him into
00:23:48 You two crazy fools.
00:23:52 He was tops in the air.
00:23:56 Now he's tied to a dead arm
00:24:01 a claw hand.
00:24:04 - It would've been kinder if Id killed him.
00:24:07 Brad, you can't realise what it
00:24:11 Maybe I can.
00:24:13 That's why it's better to let him go.
00:24:15 - Lf he goes, lm going with him.
00:24:17 You saw the way he hid his arm,
00:24:22 He said them because he
00:24:25 To know that Id smashed him,
00:24:28 smashed his whole life.
00:24:31 He didn't want me to
00:24:36 And I've got to make it up
00:24:37 All right, you smashed him.
00:24:39 Do you think smashing all
00:24:41 You don't need me, Brad.
00:24:43 You've got what you love.
00:24:45 You've got the circus. But what's he got?
00:24:47 He's got guts. That guys
00:24:51 He can take this if you leave
00:24:53 I'm not going to give him pity.
00:24:57 I'm going to try and give him love.
00:25:08 Yeah?
00:25:11 All right.
00:25:42 - What do you want?
00:25:45 I don't want any help.
00:25:47 You come here to cry over me,
00:25:50 You don't even know where you're going.
00:25:53 Besides, wherever it
00:25:56 that you couldn't do
00:25:57 What do think you could do for me?
00:25:59 Well, I could fold this
00:26:02 Oh, I see. Now I'm a cripple.
00:26:04 You would dress me,
00:26:06 wait on me like a little
00:26:09 If you want to be kind, please go.
00:26:11 I want to be with you, wherever you are.
00:26:13 You are lying. You are sorry for me.
00:26:16 You want to pay me because you
00:26:18 That isn't true.
00:26:20 You fell in love with me when I was
00:26:24 a flash of lightning in the centre ring.
00:26:27 On the ground, it is
00:26:30 That's all over.
00:26:35 Go back to the boss man.
00:26:37 Don't think I am
00:26:39 If I want someone, I'll ask her myself.
00:26:40 Women are no problem for
00:26:45 You came back because you love me.
00:26:50 You would like to believe
00:26:52 It was for this I came back.
00:26:54 - You did not.
00:26:57 Well, I can sell it anyway.
00:27:01 You should be dressing for the show.
00:27:04 You've got the centre ring.
00:27:05 I can't take it away from you. I
00:27:10 Say anything you like.
00:27:12 Hit me if you want.
00:27:14 - It wont change the way I feel.
00:27:23 No one is to blame but me. I...
00:27:26 - Please, I must hurry.
00:27:30 You're tied to the circus, and whether
00:27:34 You think I would tie you to this?
00:27:39 It wasn't your arm I fell in love with.
00:27:42 Or your hand.
00:27:44 I fell in love with you.
00:27:47 Id give my other arm
00:27:50 What does a girl have to
00:27:53 Say that you'll stay, that
00:27:57 This is not because
00:28:02 You bet your life I'm sorry for you.
00:28:05 You're stuck with a blonde,
00:28:07 and you'll never get away.
00:28:09 Chérie, how I would love you.
00:28:16 Hey, wait for me, Anita!
00:28:31 Step it up kids, were on.
00:28:33 - Is my hat okay?
00:28:35 Keep your coop to yourself today.
00:28:41 Picnic in the park.
00:28:57 A regal cavalcade with
00:29:01 and her gay court at
00:29:11 Remember, you're supposed to be a queen.
00:30:25 You're for the birds, that's for sure.
00:30:27 Giving up your life to
00:30:30 Who do you think you are?
00:30:32 What does it matter to you what I do?
00:30:34 Go ahead. Play noble. That halo
00:30:38 It'll be around your neck.
00:30:39 Where would you wear yours?
00:30:44 Say, why are you so steamed
00:30:47 Sebastian?
00:30:49 I don't care if you
00:30:51 He asked for it,
00:30:53 But Brads on the level. He
00:30:56 Brad hasn't got time for love.
00:30:58 - Okay, I'll take Brad the way he is.
00:31:00 Who are you calling a type?
00:31:03 Maybe I have been over the
00:31:06 But I've got a heart under this
00:31:09 You busted him apart, and
00:31:12 Hell never miss you, sugar.
00:31:14 I'm going to give him
00:31:17 Maybe so. You've had
00:32:36 You'll never make it.
00:32:37 - Did you see him?
00:32:38 Here's your toothpick!
00:33:30 When the lights go out on this
00:33:35 the circus puts off it's spangles
00:33:39 for the nightly combat
00:33:43 The tear-down is a wild tangle
00:33:47 an orderly disorder of ropes
00:33:50 and metal poles and steel cable
00:33:53 and tons of heavy canvas.
00:33:56 Yet out of this apparent chaos,
00:33:58 these people bring tomorrows show,
00:34:01 fresh and new and gay and hot,
00:34:04 no matter how tangled the
00:34:09 Ruth! Don't eat them newspapers!
00:34:13 I told you to leave them lay.
00:34:15 No, no, Ruth, Ruth.
00:34:17 You'll get a tummy ache.
00:34:19 She likes the candy that is stuck to it.
00:34:38 He killed the thing he loved.
00:34:42 Buttons, look.
00:34:44 - You said that.
00:34:48 Well, don't believe everything you hear.
00:34:51 And only half of what you see.
00:35:06 I can believe that.
00:35:08 So you see, chérie? All
00:35:11 I know. Except you.
00:35:12 Come on, lets go down to the car.
00:35:21 Hello?
00:35:23 Hello?
00:35:24 No, John North.
00:35:27 Hello, Johnny? It's Brad.
00:35:31 Sure, Johnny, Sebastian's back.
00:35:33 Yeah, he's staying with the show.
00:35:36 No, he can't.
00:35:38 Not his old act, but he's in the show.
00:35:41 Me?
00:35:43 Why do you ask that?
00:35:45 There's nothing wrong with me.
00:35:48 Business is holding up fine.
00:35:50 The advance sale is fine.
00:35:52 Everything's fine.
00:35:54 And were a cinch to keep
00:35:56 Yeah.
00:35:58 So long, Johnny.
00:36:00 - The full season? That's great.
00:36:03 Aren't you in the wrong wagon?
00:36:05 Not the way this one looks.
00:36:07 - Don't touch that.
00:36:11 What's all this housekeeping?
00:36:13 Just housekeeping.
00:36:16 Well, go do it someplace else.
00:36:20 - You are a sourpuss, aren't you?
00:36:23 - You want to bite somebody?
00:36:25 Well, pick your spot.
00:36:32 Needs sugar.
00:36:34 I wasn't sure how you
00:36:37 - Don't bother.
00:36:42 Oh. Medium.
00:36:51 - What do you think you're doing?
00:36:57 Well, don't look so worried.
00:36:59 You never know what you're
00:37:01 I...
00:37:12 Well,
00:37:15 what do you know?
00:37:17 I used to fill my dads pipe.
00:37:21 I don't remember seeing you before.
00:37:24 You didn't. You only looked at me.
00:37:26 Now, what was that name again?
00:37:28 Minnie Mouse. Even
00:37:31 They're smart animals. Women are poison.
00:37:34 But it's a wonderful death.
00:37:41 I'm not dangerous. Honest.
00:37:44 I just think a guy in
00:37:47 Well, if there's a woman around.
00:37:49 Just someone to get mad at.
00:37:57 - Well, don't you want some coffee?
00:38:02 That's what I came for.
00:38:08 You know, I never knew a

00:38:40 - Pretty picture, ain't it?
00:38:43 Angel likes that guy.
00:38:45 Why? Because he can give her presents.
00:38:47 He's got the dough, so he gets the girl.
00:38:50 What is mine I keep.
00:38:52 Not without dough. But we can get it.
00:38:55 Get it where it'll hurt, too.
00:39:02 Get with it. You've got

00:41:34 He likes that funny face, huh?
00:41:36 Tell me, would he still like
00:41:40 Klaus, are you nuts? Let me up.
00:41:42 - Up, Minyak! Up!
00:41:44 Be careful. You make Minyak nervous.
00:41:48 Now your eyes shine for me, too,
00:41:50 because you have fear in your

00:41:57 Steady, Minyak. Is

00:44:15 Buy a circus souvenir.
00:44:17 Take home a balloon for the...
00:44:19 Would you like a balloon? Good.
00:44:45 Life has made me a clown.
00:44:46 It'll have to make you
00:44:49 Thank you.
00:44:51 Hey, little one. You are tickling me.
00:44:54 You can feel that?
00:44:55 He's trying to be
00:44:57 Come on, Sebastian.
00:45:00 Get with it, Buttons.
00:45:10 All right, boys, let them
00:45:12 - My dice. I'll bet $3.00.
00:45:15 Six. Your point.
00:45:17 Harry. What we said, I'll do it.
00:45:21 So you finally got wise, huh? I
00:45:24 - Tonight.
00:45:26 Were giving a party
00:45:29 Seven. A loser. Sorry,
00:45:32 - Hey, wait a minute.
00:45:35 A fine game you got here.
00:45:36 You don't even get a chance
00:45:48 - Everything all right in there, Curly?
00:45:51 But next year, lets carry
00:45:53 It's air-conditioned.
00:45:57 Well, don't let it
00:45:59 - Take it away.
00:46:08 Mr. Braden?
00:46:09 That's right.
00:46:11 Treasury. Special investigations.
00:46:13 What can I do for you?
00:46:14 You carry a doctor with this show?
00:46:17 Yes. You usually find
00:46:19 Does he look anything like this?
00:46:26 No.
00:46:28 You sure?
00:46:29 Ten years can make quite a difference.
00:46:31 What's he wanted for?
00:46:32 Murder. It's an odd case.
00:46:35 A young doctor killed his wife.
00:46:37 She was dying anyway.
00:46:39 What will he get?
00:46:41 Lm a policeman, not a judge.
00:46:44 - Why pick on us?
00:46:47 He was always chasing circuses as a kid.
00:46:50 You wont see that face around here.
00:46:52 Probably not.
00:46:53 Anyway, I've arranged to fingerprint
00:46:56 Do you mind if I ride along with you?
00:46:58 No. The head porter will
00:47:01 Thank you.
00:47:43 About here. That'll stop the

00:48:50 - Say, Buttons...
00:48:52 - I got the next one.
00:48:55 You're always around when there's trouble.
00:48:57 You're pretty hard to find
00:48:58 I got tied up with a
00:49:02 He's looking for someone.
00:49:03 Anything serious?
00:49:04 Murder.
00:49:07 He used to be a doctor.
00:49:09 You find the darnedest people
00:49:12 Yeah.
00:49:14 What was this good
00:49:17 Good news?
00:49:20 Sebastian, there.
00:49:22 He's got feeling in that hand.
00:49:25 Yes, and if there's still feeling,
00:49:30 Is that a professional opinion?
00:49:33 That's a clowns opinion.
00:49:35 Why don't you rile him up a little?
00:49:37 Might get your flyer back.
00:49:39 Yeah, I'll do that.
00:49:41 By the way, they're going to take
00:49:44 Okay.
00:49:59 I'll get revenge tomorrow night.
00:50:01 Always I'm lucky at cards.
00:50:04 You sure it's luck?
00:50:06 You think I cheat maybe?
00:50:08 Why not? You've done it before.
00:50:11 - I do not like this joke.
00:50:13 - Steady.
00:50:14 Well, he used his bum arm
00:50:16 You know you lie.
00:50:18 You've got it all figured to get yourself
00:50:20 Latching onto her.
00:50:23 You moved it.
00:50:24 - He sure did.
00:50:28 That's why you say these things.
00:50:29 How about it, Doc? Will
00:50:31 - It certainly did move.
00:50:33 You know, that should get well.
00:50:36 I believe that with psychosomatic
00:50:38 You did this for me?
00:50:39 For you? I wouldn't
00:50:42 But you're a good flyer.
00:50:44 Now, keep working on it.
00:50:46 You crazy, wonderful fool.
00:50:50 You know that with my wings
00:50:53 Yet you raise me into the air again.
00:50:56 Because you are circus.
00:50:59 I must tell Holly.
00:51:02 Maybe we name our first baby Bossman.
00:51:07 Good work, Brad.
00:51:09 Hey, Doc,

00:52:29 Pass it down.
00:52:34 Can you see the trouble?
00:52:35 Can't see nothing ahead.
00:52:42 Get going. We gotta burn rubber.
00:52:52 - What's that?

00:53:04 Well, what are you
