I'm cheering but quit throwing knives at me huh it's not my fault we don't have a

car go [Music]

and you mind telling me why you pick Honolulu Harbor to check the bottom this

isn't exactly a crystal of g*n you know I can feel a barnacle ollie I don't have to see him anyway unless we get another

cargo we'll never see a crystal lagoon again

[Music] now there's a cargo

[Music]

hello [Music] I'm looking for mr. I don't try I'm mr.

Adam Troy I have a message mr. Troy I'm Cathy Porter

mrs. Cathy bought it my compliments to mr. Porter there is no mr. Porter well

there's not much we can do about that now maybe you better get on with the message I'm secretary to mr. Paul

LeBlanc Lucas in the bank I see you don't know him but he knows you

what does he mean by matter of great importance that there's money involved ah si Hassan can you come to the office

five minutes better make it an hour mr. LeBlanc is

tied up right now with funeral all right an hour

thank you goodbye goodbye

[Music]

well how'd you do you ever hear of a man named Paula Blanc Lukas Simla Blanc how do you know

Lukas Honolulu's high living fun-loving merchant of all things died in his office yesterday of a heart attack so

the funeral figures Lucas and the blank limited factors what

are factors brokers Commission agents dealers that's encouraging no how about

coming back with a nice reliable deal you know me partner I sure do that's why

I say again come back with a nice reliable deal

I'm gonna call you Adam and if you don't mind I'm gonna cut out all that preliminary sparring and bite right into

the nail all right one of the reasons I'm so successful at on it and I am is that I never go ahead

with something until I have exactly the right man for the job I've had a file rolling on you for a long time what

makes me so right for whatever it is I'm right for it I need a man that I can trust completely I see and further I

need a man with a good ship under him and one who knows the Pacific like the palm of his hand

tell me did you know my partner Lucky Lucas only when I read in this morning's

paper he just died and left everything he had to charity there's something the obituary left out

did you know that Lucky Lucas had a daughter no I did name of Lorraine she's

dead now somewhere out in the Pacific when did she die 1941 she was a flyer 18 years old and

could pilot a plane with the best of them we had a little set up in the Philippines when the w*r started and she

was supposed to fly us out but on the night of December 8th she took off without us without her father without

her father without me I like to think that she panicked her plane it well it

must have crashed that was a long time ago what does that got to do with me

I'll tell you Adam

there's something else the papers left out that lucky Lucas was the owner of the

tycoon there what tycoon t AI que un third largest stone in the world seven

hundred eighty seven carats of uncut diamond that's big lucky picked it up in Japan years ago he

made and lost six fortunes and forty years but he never gave up the tycoon

all right put the pieces together for me so far we have a girl who died before

the w*r in the diamond how do they fit in his will lucky left me the diamond

it was delivered in this box with one startling omission

no diamond just this note

dear Paul I'm giving you the diamond all

you have to do is find it when my daughter flew out of Manila she didn't know that the tycoon was with her in a

metal box behind the instrument panel of her plane wherever she crashed that's

where the diamond is all you have to do is find it

Adam that's what you're here for to help me find that diamond what kind of plane

was he flying was a twin-engine Russell Falcon painted bright red lucky tried to

find it but with the w*r on there wasn't much he could do we had a tough time getting to Australia ourselves it's been

a long time it's a big ocean it's vague Adam under ordinary

circumstances I wouldn't invest three cents in anything this vague but I was

in a car crash in New Zealand a few years back while I was waiting to get into the emergency room I was lying in

the hospital hall two men walked by one of them said how far north doctor the

other replied I don't know no one seems to know but her plane crashed in a

lagoon you never followed it up well I was yes nothing to follow up

Lorraine was dead it didn't matter who they were talking about so the diamonds

out there someplace and you want me to find it what's the deal

you bring that diamond back and put it on this desk I'll have it appraised and

I'll give you cash one twentieth the appraised value 115

one 18th one fifteenth one fifteenth of nothing is nothing you were ready to

walk out of that door and forget it why didn't you because I had another piece of the puzzle in my pocket that's why I

listen that's why I took the job well what do you know that a plane crash somewhere south of

silver not North Easter West maybe so remember that barn Pango Pango three

years ago it's a loud smashing evening somehow that story stuck with me through all the noise no I don't remember who

told it a girl sitting at the bar do you remember the bar well not by name but

I'd know it if I saw it and a girl did she see the plane fall no but she got

the story from a sailor who got it from a native and then you took this job because of us talk three years ago with

an unidentified woman an unidentified born who got the story from a sailor who

got the story from an unidentified native that's right somewhere south of silver and to think I asked you to come

back with a nice reliable deal aw come on partner it's an adventure that's what it is

you know the blankets more fun when Kathy brings the messages alone have you

finished loading the supplies all finished sui ready to sail good here's a little gift that you can open when you

reach your goal or you can drink it in advance if you get weary searching thank you well probably drink it in advance

come on partner we'll knock this job off in no time 10-15 years I trust not the tycoon is

very important and it should be back in the vault quickly and quietly you'll let me know if you hear anything

or find any trace we're ready to go let's cast off Polly good luck good

hunting thank you

mrs. Porter if you said there was no mr. Porter that's right mr. Floyd good we'll see

you when we get back with the tycoon

she'll be waiting 15 years [Music]

[Music]

well that's the first time in my life I ever saw a man who couldn't catch I didn't want a drink yeah it sure didn't

get one digit no thanks I just want some information you mean you really don't want a drink

in Texas what don't I know that sure he's in Texas in the Troy ranch right just outside of Eagle Pass right copy

Sam crane Adam Troy be weird I worked six months for your father one I saw you

throws more Mustang was bored boom well the world's getting smaller yeah it

sure is oh did you will say you wanted some information well I was in here one night

about three years ago I remember a redheaded woman standing at the bar insulting everyone who came in here she

was taking belts from a square bottle of scotch he told me a South Sea story but

I'd never heard before I looked at find her why did she do something wrong no

she said something interesting no must have been mighty interesting for you to remember three years that it was yeah

well I know who you're talking about I talked about Willie foster you know sure I know where can I find her well she fought

away from one bar to another and then she retired where to Southern California

she couldn't take the weather came back about two months ago where is she now well she worked out some kind of phony

social security number in the States where is she now Sam she's in the other room behind the

partition wait a minute you're gonna need this

[Music]

I see you know my preference who are you I'm Adam Troy I met you three years ago

you remember I never remember a face what are you I want you to tell me a

story oh I tell a lot of stories and minds every one of them's true what do you want me to make up I'll settle for

true learn about a plane that crashed somewhere south of here about 18 years ago

well this is my first payment my second

prerequisite is a $10 bill Oh

only fine well even that much half quiz up a

girl's memory you know down here it's a long time in between the legal Social

Security checks and a girl who could live by telling true anecdotes so much the better

all right Willie let's start remembering it comes to me slowly isn't a dream

[Music] you say that the plane went down south of here

you know I see me talking to a native on

the shores of a faraway tropical isle what's the natives name Willie well he's

one of a half million natives who live on the scattered islands of nature what

does the native tell you were they the news of a great w*r spreading across the

ocean and of a woman at the start of the w*r falling out of the sky in a violent

storm and of a bright red plane that plunges into the lagoon and the island

what's its name it's an island choked with the denseness of palm trees and

ringed with a coral reef that's every island in the South Pacific Willie does

it have a name yeah I had a had a name it's on no man's chart but the natives

had a name for it it was called

that's it it was cool moto coal roll Oh Carl good

how oh not to do is find mama Cora Thanks bon voyage mister I hope you find what

you're looking for one thing I learned down here is if you

don't find that it's nothing it's just a big meaningless dream sister is it ever

place now if you've got a head south on that search of yours I might be persuaded to tag along how did you hear we were heading south

huh how did you hear we were heading south I heard you and Willy talking I see I'll look mr. Troy I'm a good hand I

know they see like I know a horse besides sitting behind a bar in a fitting place for a man who's ridden the

length and breadth of the Troy ranch do you have to talk that way yard a westerner who said I was I'm from

Hoboken and you want to work for the outfit again that's what I'm saying blood like look

double block breezy pulling well you got me there what beats me is how a horse

feel for and if you've got that important feel mr. crane yeah I think I got it mr. Troy just comes natural with

me berths for 20 a month is the best I can do this voyage that's good enough for me captain I always sleep better

[Music]

Lily was right motor corazon no man's chart Adam 18 days

34 unnamed islands you get any feeling at all this is a wild goose chase

not at all my feelings if motor Cora is one of these enchanted underwater islands it rises to the surface once

every hundred years at night our timing could not be perfect

[Music]

Autocar Oh mother karo

welcome to moto coral please come and sit with me Thank You

chief we've been a long time finding your Island

it's a seldom that a ship puts in here can we be of some help to you I'm on a

search that's brought me from Hawaii I would like to describe something which I believe once happened on mother Cora it

did I'm sure you would remember I shall try this would have happened many years ago in our month of December the story

as I heard it is of a plane piloted by a lone woman which crashed in your lagoon I

have never heard such a story a red plane with two engines no plane like that is ever Christ here

as any plane ever crashed on MotoCorp oh no or on any of the surrounding islands

you know chief we've build at 34 islands and nobody's spoken English as well as you

have you ever been off mother Cora no dr. Nichols taught me dr. Nichols our

medical missionary from New Zealand oh yes I saw his house the one with the Red Cross and I'd like to meet him

he's been dead for four years oh you mean you haven't spoken English for

four years I speak it sometimes you have another doctor no no one else came

was that all you wanted to ask sir about the plane yes I guess so I'd like to

look around your Island though please do and I'd like to lay in a little fresh water before we sail take what you want

top five

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hello now come in

are you sick I'm not sure maybe you better call the doctor

there is no doctor you run the dispensary yourself I'm just learning

who's teaching you excuse me excuse me

[Music]

[Music]

I [Music]

think you should never have come here

adventures in paradise is now being brought to you by teachers in Paradise will continue

following station identification

and now back to adventures in paradise now

will you leave this island you don't give me much choice do you

you don't even want to know why I came here they told me I didn't come to hurt you I know you've

you've come to look for someone who's dead is she dead yes quite dead who are you working for a man named

Paula blank get out of here

did you know that lucky Lucas is dead I'm not interested in anyone named Lucas

hello Blanc not interested in your father miss Lucas my name is Nicholls I don't care what your name is now it used

to be Lucas Lorraine Lucas [Music]

you are on the ran Lucas aren't you I

was how did you survive the crash the natives pulled me out of the plane I was

still alive the next day when a military medical Commission arrived from New Zealand and dr. Nichols he was with them

we were married here in motor Coral he died four years ago I do what I can to

help here do you want to know why I've come here I don't care it's the tie Connor do you

know where it is I'm sure lucky had it buried with him it's an opponent's compartment of your

crashed plane

[Laughter] so that's why you're here to find it

you tell me where it is we'll retrieve it but the courts decide who it belongs to thanks for the offer mr. Troy that's

just the kind of plausible proposal I'd expect from Lucas and Leblanc it may

sound funny to say mr. Lucas but I was hired for this job because I'm an honest man honest I've got my own label for you I'm sure

you her here you go mr. Troy

when my husband died four years ago this island became my total and entire world

I don't want to exchange it for yours [Music]

will you leave

yes that's right that's right and sign the message Adam Troy please relate

to Paul of blank of Lucas and the blank Honolulu over now

well that does it what are you gonna do now just sit back on your haunches and wait no I'm gonna think of what and

after I think we're gonna do some diving and try and locate that plane locate the plane the silenced 38 miles around well

you're the one who said it would take 15 years just to find the island oh wait a minute you said you were gonna think for

a while what about about follow blank in that big office of his and those enterprises

why Lorraine Lucas hates him so much

[Music] and not worried about me I'm worried

about Troy of course you are you know he will figure out that Lorena's look as a

surviving heir no it's worse than that you'll undoubtedly think that I want to

deal fairly with her I'm not interested in justice Kathy I want that stone I'm gonna bring it back you're going out

there to her yes have the flying boat gassed and

supplied and make sure my diving equipment is aboard no I know what a man does when his ex

love turns up alive

[Music]

hey Adam there's a plane coming in [Music]

[Music]

a blank what's he doing here I guess he's answering my radio grand in person

take the skip over pick him up [Music]

and you gave us this bottle in Honolulu I didn't think we'd be drinking it out here with you well after I received your

radiogram I thought it best that I fly down and give you a little help I didn't ask for it I know but probably you'll

act charming if this woman really is Loraine Lucas then charm is what's needed to persuade her and that's why

you're here I am going to charm her into telling you where the crashed plane is she'll tell me I doubt it she didn't

sound very friendly to your firm Lorraine Lucas and I at one time were

close if you don't mind I'll borrow your

dinghy and go sure I'll go no that won't be necessary

I'll be back shortly and we can begin diving for the diamond just one more thing that woman over there she has a

g*n [Music]

when I found out you were alive I was quite surprised I'm sure you were

do you remember Manila Lorraine you ran out on me I'd do it again in a second

yes I'm sure you would lucky and me we learned a good deal about you that day

not as much as I learned about you you know what a thing to say didn't Troy

tell you that your father is dead he told me I didn't feel a thing when I found out I

still don't know I suppose you wouldn't but now it is just the two of us like

old times Paul in the ring together again right away from me I said Paul and

Lorraine together again what do you want to say to me

say it and get out boy he's been over there a long time I

know too long something's wrong well what are you gonna do

I'm gonna get over there see what happened

[Music] holler if you see anything

[Music]

get away from me go back to your partner and get what you came

[Music]

how'd you get mixed up with your not like the blank no I guess I'm not

you were fooled weren't you by that starch cuffs and big cufflinks

Lucky Lucas was better than few people but but he was better than Paula Blanc

where did he go I don't know what did he do to you you

asked me before why I ran out why I left my father in the black of Manila well I'll tell you do you know the only cargo

I ever flew for that distinguished firm oh I never knew not in a hundred fights

I was proud my father had enough confidence in me to teach me to fly the

plane December 8 was the last chance anybody

had to get out of Manila it wasn't till we reached the airport I knew the cargo my father wanted to carry and the blank

even asked me to help them load it on the plane 140 pounds of

pure heroin oh yes I left him there that night I got in

the plane and flew with the help them but I I didn't worry about the Piney would they be all right you see one other piece of information they told me

the heroin had been sold to them by the Japanese now he's here again and he wants to

destroy my life for the second time right I want you to trust me completely

I want you to tell me where the plane crash oh sure I'll trust

he's already beaten the information honey the plane crashed about a hundred yards

from where your ship is anchored Thanks I'm gonna find Paul of like
