This is sunrise this used to be sunrise a long time ago, i guess. Its over. Its all over. Mrs. Mcleod. First of all, mrs. Mcleod, may i extend my deepest sympathy. Y. Im sure my Government Joins me in expressing at . Well yes, of course, whitehead here. We just got the news, mrs. Mcleod, some navy friends of mine brought the report in. They seemed to think it was a rhino. Dreadful beast, just dreadful. Your husband was such a fine man, and its a terrible shock. Its a personal shock to me too. Uh, would you care to sit down . Oh, im alright, thank you. Some of the others are so exhausted. Dont worry about that, mrs. Mcleod. My soldiers will take care of your people. Husband will affect this plan to e eablish this little colony . Thats all over. All i care about now is getting these poor people back to their homes. Oh, good, of course i knew youd be reconsidering. I tried to explain the hardships to your husband. Whitehead and i were just discussing it. He feels that there is a way that we can persuade these natives to cancel this sale of land. Well, im going back into the mountains to see chief mcchuey, and i think i can convince and get most of your cash back. The sooner the better, whitehead. Of course, sir. And mrs. Mcleod, ill be back in a couple of days. And if your partys rested by then, im sure i can find canoes to get you back to the coast. And one thing, dont worry. Dont you worry about a single thing. Mrs. Mcleod, i consider my government insane ever to have approved of this entire venture. Captain, excuse me please. In this outlandish remote area. You can see for yourself what happened, ththvery people who established the place here couldnt make a go of it. And for immigrants without the proper equipment, without knowledge of the wilderness, well, good heavens, without even sense enough to leave their women at home . Enttou whitehead . What. Whats that . Lets have it. Tell me about it. Why are you making trouble for these people . That gasoline, the convicts, was that your idea . I dont know what youre talking about. I think you do. Yes, indeed, i think you do. As a matter of fact, i think youre on your way to the bawallas right now with some pretty fancy presents for your friends. Look, im a trader, buddy. I deal in flour, bees, and a few nails. The bawallas are n n much anymore, the army killed most of them off quite a few years ago. The only ones left are just a few harmless tribesmen. And a chief that likes to make some pretty fancy real estate deals with your connivance. I want the truth, whitehead, and i want it now. . Now, you keep your nose out of this. You want those people to get home safe . Well, so do i. And this is my final warning. G. Just keep your big mouth shut. Just dont rock the boat. Alright . . Hes dead. The prophet is dead. Im sorry. Im terribly sorry. And now its all over. Well, i still have some of the land money left. Nearly 40,000. If we divide it, theres plenty to take us all back to start over, somewhere. Ill get it for you. Ah . R r r r r r r r r rr . R r r r r r r r rrr r . Im alright, im alright. Tarzan tarzan you okay . Ye. Hank, just sit here and take care of her. . Alright, alright ill send every one of my men back out again, and ill keep them there all night. Now, will thatatmake yo . Please, captain, dont you understand how important it is . Quite, i do have the security of this town to maintain, you know . Besides which, finding anyone in this area is impossible. But i thought you said there would be no danger . Certainly not from the natives. Of course not. There is a proper way to go about these things, you know . Ladies and gentlemen, as you have just heard, i have been reassuring your leader that Everything Possible is being done to recover and as for your friend tarzan, i can assure you he will return safely in his own good time. Now, i suggest that all of you get as much rest as possible. Of the town. Since i am in charge here, i ask that all of you no one may either come or go without my permission. . Please, i know tarzan will get the money back for us. Rosanna, we dont care about ththmoney. But youll need it for the plane tickets when we reach the coast tickets to where, rosanna . You want me to join another army and kill some more people . And what are you gonna do . Join another bridge club . Chigger rosie. Have yououoticed those army wagons .

Where is everybody around here . As if you didnt know. Pretty clever ofofou, getting all my men out of town looking for you. Hallelujah they all cried. That creature said to me when i refused to sell her army property, when i refused to put a price on my horses . Charge it she said. Yeah, charge it against the money that was stolen.

Well, how was i to know there was anything wrong with that . what is that horse there . Is that a wild one . Yes, my men rounded him up the first day we got here.
