00:30Try and hold them off a minute, Clyde.
00:51There you are, Clyde!
01:10Oh, that was a close call.
01:12I'll say it was. I'm glad you remembered animals are afraid of fire.
01:17I don't see anything of Sharky.
01:19It would suit me swell if we never saw that guy again.
01:22Oh, Sharky's not such a bad fella.
01:25We've got to find him if he's still alive.
01:46Oh, no.
02:16Don't kill me. Don't kill me. I'll go away.
02:31I won't touch a treasure. I swear it.
02:34Treasure?
02:36Take it easy, old man.
02:40Nobody's going to hurt you.
02:42Oh, water. Water.
02:50My canteen. Over there.
03:10You're not one of the ship's crew.
03:13Ship's crew? What do you mean?
03:16The ship that brought me here.
03:19They're down for stockade.
03:21We should go down there and tell Captain Robertson that I've found...
03:27The treasure?
03:30Yes. The treasure of Caymoor.
03:34Where is it?
03:37It's here. In the...
04:06Well, Mr. Explorer.
04:08It was certainly nice of you to leave this map telling me where the treasure was hidden.
04:14Now I can buy a circus of my own.
04:17I'll show Baby who is the greatest animal trainer in the world.
04:29That stockade can't be so very far from here.
04:32And the ship, too.
04:35Well, if I'm ever going to get off this island,
04:38I'd better get down and make friends with Captain Robinson and his crew.
05:00If Sharky was alive, we would have found some trace of him.
05:04He must have jumped before the crash and drowned.
05:07That's probably what happened to him, all right.
05:13A coconut.
05:14Hey, what's the idea?
05:16Look out, here comes another one.
05:19Thanks, pal. I better have lunch with us sometime.
05:21Yeah, and bring your own coconut.
05:36That's service for you.
05:42Lunch is ready.
05:48Do you mind if I eat out on the veranda?
06:09Help, Clyde, help!
06:13Whoa, wait a minute. What's your hurry?
06:15Don't stop me, Clyde. There's a bear after me.
06:17Funny, he's running the other way.
06:19He is?
06:26That's the most amazing thing I ever saw.
06:29A bear in the same jungle with lions.
06:32What sort of country is this we've landed in?
06:35You tell me.
06:45What was that?
06:47Hyenas, the scavengers of the jungle.
06:50We had some with the circus, but they didn't sound like that.
06:53They weren't hungry then.
07:22Wouldn't that give a circus crowd the thrill of their lives?
07:25Nature's got us beat.
07:27She stages many things in the jungle we can't do in a big cage.
07:30There's sure all sorts of wild animals around here.
07:32You should feel at home.
07:35I'd sure like to take some of them back alive.
07:37Hey, if we're going to take ourselves back alive, we'd better find a way to get off this island.
07:43Look, Larry, a cartridge.
07:45See how bright it is?
07:47There couldn't have been a bear long.
07:49That means there's somebody besides us on the island.
07:51Come on, let's look him up.
07:52How are we going to find him in this jungle?
07:56You're a great animal trainer and all that, Clyde,
07:58but it takes an extra piece artist like me to know his way around this kind of country.
08:03What do you mean?
08:05See on the tree?
08:07I shall scale it and see what I shall see.
08:10See?
08:34Oh, boy, I see some huts with a high fence around them.
08:37Do you see any people?
08:39No, but I see smoke rising from one of the huts.
08:54Here comes a cook now.
08:57Oh, good.
08:58Did you hear anything in the captain's hut?
09:00Yeah, give us a lowdown.
09:01Kirby's telling him plenty.
09:03And the skipper ain't taking it laying down either.
09:07Kirby, do you mean to tell me that you, the first mate of my ship, are taking sides with the crew?
09:13I don't blame them for squawking, captain.
09:16The ship was chartered by that explorer for a six-month cruise.
09:20And we've been on this island eight months.
09:22Well, we're not going to sail until Professor Livingston shows up.
09:26He was supposed to be back two weeks ago.
09:29But if you ask me, I don't think he'll ever show up.
09:32None of those jungle cats got him, just like they got Connors and Dixon and the rest.
09:37I'm not going to leave him on the island, and that's final.
09:45Either you're going to leave him on the island, or we're going to leave you.
09:52Now, you've got until tomorrow noon to make up your mind, and that's final.
09:56From myself and the crew.
10:03There's your stockade.
10:05Oh, boy, am I glad to see a place with a fence around it.
10:18Just you wait, Nero, when I get you.
10:21Stop him! Stop him, please!
10:33Thank you so much.
10:37Why, where did you come from?
10:39We didn't know there was anybody but ourselves on the island.
10:42We crashed in an airship. My friend and I...
10:46Larry! Where are you?
10:48Help, Clyde, help!
10:50He's fallen in one of the animal traps.
10:55I'll get him.
10:58He's fallen in one of the animal traps.
11:06Get me out of here, will you?
11:08How in the world did you get in there?
11:10Well, if you must know, I fell in.
11:13Oh, I'm so sorry. I hope you're not hurt.
11:16Mr...
11:18Oh, pardon me. This is my friend, Larry Henderson.
11:24I'm Ruth Robinson.
11:26Miss Robinson.
11:28Glad to meet you, Miss Robinson.
11:30But would you mind asking your friend to give me a hand out of here?
11:34How can I when I don't even know his name?
11:37Pardon me. That's Mr. Clyde Beatty.
11:40Glad to meet you, Mr. Beatty.
11:42Say, he's a cute little fellow. What's his name?
11:45I call him Nero.
11:48He's taken a fancy to you.
11:51It's certainly a surprise to find someone like you on this island.
11:57Hey!
11:59How about getting me out of here?
12:05So you see, Mr. Beatty, I'd feel like a murderer if I left the island
12:09without definite proof that Professor Livingston is dead.
12:12I understand how you feel, Captain.
12:14Heaven knows. I'll be glad to leave this terrible place.
12:17You've been a mighty brave girl.
12:19You've no idea of the hardships we've endured.
12:23This island is overrun with lions, tigers, and all sorts of...
12:27Lions and tigers? In the same jungle?
12:29Why, that's impossible.
12:31What's that?
12:33Tigers.
12:34He's fallen into one of our pits.
12:36I know exactly how he feels.
12:38Don't shoot him, Captain. I'd like to take him alive.
12:41Alive? How?
12:43If you could let us have some rope to make a net...
12:45Leave a ship's net for loading cargo. Would that do?
12:47Yes. That's just the thing.
12:54And after you get him in the net, what are you going to do with him?
12:57Fill that cage and put him in it.
12:59Look, Dad, Kirby's going to shoot the tiger.
13:12Don't forget, Kirby, this skin belongs to me.
13:16Say, what's the big idea?
13:19I'm sorry I had to do this.
13:21But I want that tiger alive.
13:23You want?
13:25And, uh, who are you?
13:27All right, Kirby.
13:29Mr. Beatty plans to take some wild animals back to his circus.
13:33Okay, if you say so.
13:35Come on, boy.
13:36Hey, fella.
13:37Lend me a hand with the net, will you?
13:39And I'll take care of the tiger.
13:41Come on, boy.
13:42Hey, fella.
13:43Lend me a hand with the net, will you?
13:45And I'll slip you a couple of passengers to the circus.
13:47Listen.
13:48I've seen all the wild animals I want to see on this island.
13:51And I don't care for freaks.
13:59Get a hold of Cormorant.
14:02Don't drop it now until I give the word.
14:04And be sure you keep clear, or he'll drag you in.
14:08Now!
14:12How do you like me?
14:14You're going to meet a lot of new friends when you get back to the circus.
14:17Oh, it's no use.
14:18That's no way to act.
14:19Nobody will like you.
14:31What's going on?
14:32Hey!
14:40I'll have you free in a minute.
14:42Make it 30 seconds.
14:43I'm slipping.
14:50That was a close call.
14:54And let that be a lesson for you.
14:57I'll have some of the men build a cage for the tiger.
15:06See, Nero?
15:07Someday you're going to be as big as that tiger.
15:09Yes, if you're a good boy and eat your spinach.
15:12Come on, young fellow.
15:13I'm going to put you to bed.
15:27Here comes Dad.
15:29Looks like he's had a satisfactory talk with the crew.
15:33It's all settled.
15:34We're starting in an hour.
15:35A small searching party will comb the island thoroughly.
15:38If Livingston's alive, we'll find him.
15:40Didn't the professor ever say anything that would give you a clue to where he's gone?
15:44Well, he did tell Ruth and me something about the tiger.
15:47I'm sure he'll tell us where he's gone.
15:49I'm sure he'll tell us where he's gone.
15:51I'm sure he'll tell us where he's gone.
15:53I'm sure he'll tell us where he's gone.
15:54I'm sure he'll tell us where he's gone.
15:55I'm sure he'll tell Ruth and me something about a buried city he'd found.
15:58K-more, I think he called it.
16:00You mean he's one of those goofy guys that searches ruins for buried treasure?
16:04As a matter of fact, he did tell me in confidence that he expected to find a treasure there.
16:08Then that's where we should search first.
16:11Do you know how to get there?
16:12I know the way.
16:13The professor showed me a map he had drawn in his diary.
16:26I hear that.
16:53The tiger's loose!
16:56Get into your hut, quick! All of you!
16:58You'll be killed!
17:25Get your rifle, Kirby!
17:34You heard him ask me not to shoot the tiger, didn't you?
17:55You heard him ask me not to shoot the tiger, didn't you?
18:25You heard him ask me not to shoot the tiger, didn't you?
18:26You heard him ask me not to shoot the tiger, didn't you?
