Nightmare Circus (1974) "aka Terror Circus"
R | 86 min | Horror | August 1974 (USA)

Three showgirls on their way to Las Vegas have car trouble and are stuck all night out in the desert. The next morning cheerful Andre offers them help in fixing their car. However, Andre is really a maniac with a lot of family problems; his mother ran out on him when he was a child so now he keeps kidnapped women chained up in his barn and trains them to perform circus tricks. Andre's father is still around of course, but because the old homestead is next to a nuclear test site he has been transformed into a raving homicidal mutant that Andre keeps locked up in a shed.

Director: Alan Rudolph

Writers: Jerald Cormier (story) (as Gerald Cormier) , Roman Valenti (screenplay)

Stars: Andrew Prine, Manuela Thiess, Sherry Alberoni

00:01:17Hey, look what I've got.
00:01:19Oh, I am so thirsty I could die.
00:01:22It's not cold.
00:01:24But it's wet.
00:01:25You've got a great gas station.
00:01:27Hey, you don't have any towels in your ladies room.
00:01:30Why don't you get your act together?
00:01:32What do you mean, towels?
00:01:34Towels. T-O-W-E-L-S.
00:01:38Yeah, I'll get my act together.
00:01:43**Horn**
00:01:44Nice.
00:01:46Which one do you want?
00:01:47I like the driver.
00:01:48Good, I'll take the other two.
00:01:51Listen, you've got a bad thermostat.
00:01:53You want to fix it?
00:01:55Can we make it to Las Vegas?
00:01:57If you're taking a chance.
00:01:59I think you ought to stay here with me and Jess.
00:02:02Go to the circus.
00:02:05What's the matter with that?
00:02:07Sure, it's great out here.
00:02:10Hey, that little one with the mustache is kind of cute.
00:02:12You've got to be kidding.
00:02:15Did you hear what he said?
00:02:17Do people really have trouble with a radiator?
00:02:20So he was just saying that so we go to the circus or whatever else he had in mind.
00:02:25Maybe they're in the circus.
00:02:27You believe they're the elephants.
00:02:29Crazy.
00:02:31Well, we're on our way to Las Vegas.
00:02:33And I know a really neat shortcut.
00:02:35You guys want to try it?
00:02:36It's down here.
00:02:37Yeah, it's down here about seven miles.
00:02:38Okay?

00:07:37Who the hell are you?
00:07:38And what the hell do you mean scaring us like that?
00:07:41I saw your hood up.
00:07:42I thought somebody might be in trouble, so I stopped to help, alright?
00:07:45Alright.
00:07:47Now what seems to be the trouble?
00:07:48I don't know. Something's wrong with the radiator.
00:07:54Radiator, huh?
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:57Well, you're lucky you've got a radiator left.
00:07:59Well, that's showbiz.
00:08:01Any chance of getting us out of here?
00:08:02Of course.
00:08:06Something interesting?
00:08:08Well, no.
00:08:09Yes, actually.
00:08:10It's not every day that I see three beautiful girls out here in the desert.
00:08:15We were trying a shortcut.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:18Now, how best to solve your problem?
00:08:21I think first we've got to get you out of this wind and get you to a telephone.
00:08:24Well, we certainly appreciate anything you can do for us, mister...
00:08:28Just call me Andre.
00:08:30Listen, uh, come on over to the jeep.
00:08:32What about I.C.?
00:08:34Leave everything here, just bring what you need.
00:08:36Nobody ever comes out here anyway.
00:08:39Get my purse, will you?
00:08:40And get my hairbrush, please.
00:08:42At least, almost never.
00:08:45Here you go.
00:08:46Thanks.
00:08:48Well, we're on our way to our point, I guess.
00:08:52He is really cute.
00:08:54Oh, what did you say his name was?
00:08:57Andre.
00:08:58Andre.
00:08:59All aboard.
00:09:00All aboard.
00:09:02Quick, quick, quick, quick.
00:09:30All aboard.
00:10:00Sir.
00:10:02You girls make yourselves comfortable.
00:10:04I've got to get something out of the house.
00:10:06Okay.
00:10:08Wow, what a weird place this is.
00:10:11Look at this fantastic cat.
00:10:13Kitty.
00:10:14Kitty.
00:10:15Kitty.
00:10:16That's a good little thing.
00:10:17I hope you like it.
00:10:18Hello.
00:10:20What kind of cat is that?
00:10:21I don't know.
00:10:22Why's he got that cat in a cage?
00:10:24Why's he got that cat in a cage?
00:10:26I don't know.
00:10:27I don't know.
00:10:28I don't know.
00:10:29Why's he got that cat at all?
00:10:31Hey.
00:10:32Look at him.
00:10:33Circus science.
00:10:34Let's go in the barn.
00:10:35You want to?
00:10:36Maybe he's got some more animals in there.
00:10:37I don't want to go in there, okay?
00:10:38Come on.
00:10:39We've got to wait for him anyway.
00:10:40It's colder than hell out here.
00:10:42Come on.
00:10:43Come on.
00:10:45All right, but look, let's hurry up.
00:10:47Maybe we could use him in our act.
00:10:55This is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
00:10:57I've never been in a barn before.
00:10:58I hope I'm never in one again.
00:11:00I wonder if this guy's some kind of a snake freak, man.
00:11:02This is terrific.
00:11:03It looks just like your apartment, Simone.
00:11:05No, it doesn't.
00:11:06My place has got more soul.
00:11:08Hey.
00:11:09Let's not go in there, okay?
00:11:11Don't worry about it.
00:11:12I'll take care of you.
00:11:13Have no fear.
00:11:14He's here.
00:11:15He's here.
00:11:16You're going to take care of him?
00:11:17After you.
00:11:18The great take care of you is the one that got us in the barn.
00:11:25Oh, my God.
00:11:27They're going to have a party tonight,
00:11:29but they're not going to get to come.
00:11:31No, they're never going to get to come.
00:11:34Because I don't want them.
00:11:35They're bad.
00:11:36Bad men.
00:11:37They're always mean to me.
00:11:56What is that?
00:11:57I don't know.
00:11:58I don't know.
00:11:59I don't know.

00:12:23I don't know.
00:12:24I don't know.
00:12:25What is this?
00:12:29I think we better get out of here.
00:12:30My God, is this some kind of joke?
00:12:32Are they dead or what?
00:12:34Sure.
00:12:35Come on.
00:12:42Now where am I going to put the three of you?
00:12:49My house has a lot of big roofs.
00:12:54It's going to be mine and daddy's.
00:13:02Maybe we have a big yard, too.
00:13:06Yeah, that's what we'll do, a kitchen, a nice big kitchen.
00:13:11We can play, have a family, and mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:13:24Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:13:38Where are we?
00:13:39In a circus.
00:13:41A circus?
00:13:46You've got to be kidding.
00:13:50How long have you been here?
00:13:51I think two months.
00:13:55She's been here six.
00:13:58He's coming down the road.
00:14:00Daddy's coming.
00:14:01Daddy's coming down the road to the house.
00:14:04Doesn't anybody ever get out of here?
00:14:08Why are we all here?
00:14:10He wants to control us.
00:14:12He's like all the other men, and I hate him.
00:14:18His toys, his pets, his animals.
00:14:24How did you get here?
00:14:25Our car broke down in the desert,
00:14:27so we spent the night in it.
00:14:29And the next morning, Andre came to the window.
00:14:34Scared the hell out of us.
00:14:36Then he seemed real nice.
00:14:38He asked us if we wanted to use the phone, and we said sure.
00:14:42And he had nice eyes.
00:14:45Yeah.
00:14:48Derek, when we don't show up in Las Vegas,
00:14:51Derek will come looking for us.
00:14:53He'll find the car.
00:14:54Corrine, listen, don't worry about it.
00:14:56Derek will come, and he'll get us out of here.
00:15:03Derek won't come for us.
00:15:05Does anybody come for them?
00:15:09What does he do to you?
00:15:11I don't know.
00:15:12Nobody knows.
00:15:13You'll find out when your time comes.
00:15:16I know what will happen.
00:15:21He wants us to want him.
00:15:24He wants us to need him.
00:15:28He wants to know everything we're thinking.
00:15:32He watches us.
00:15:46He's not that kind of person.
00:15:48He's a man.
00:15:49He's one of us.
00:15:50He's not stupid.
00:15:51He's a prankster.
00:15:53He's a murderer.
00:15:54He is.
00:15:55He's a murderer.
00:15:58He knows everything.
00:16:00He's not like you.
00:16:01He's a murderer.
00:16:03He knows it all.
00:16:05He's a murderer.
00:16:08He knows it all.
00:16:10What if I tell him to come in here?
00:16:12He'll come in.
00:16:13Get over on your own side.
00:16:40Get over on your own side.
00:17:04Get over on your own side.
00:17:29Get over on your own side.
00:17:53Get over on your own side.
00:18:21Get over on your own side.
00:18:33There's only one thing I can't tolerate,
00:18:35and that's someone not living up to their obligations.
00:18:38I have a contract with you, and I expect it to be honored.
00:18:42Look, Phil, I'm sure we can reach an understanding.
00:18:45Understanding?
00:18:46There's only one thing to understand.
00:18:48I gave you a fat advance to bring those girls over here.
00:18:52If I want you to find them, reduce the act,
00:18:55I'm seeing my attorney.
00:18:57Look, Phil, I told you the girls are missing.
00:18:59I got every cop in the state looking for them.
00:19:02Like I told you, if you don't find them,
00:19:04you'll never show your face or any part of your body in this town again.
00:19:14Nice pillows.
00:19:15All these ages.
00:19:17Phil, will you take me to Circus Circus tonight?
00:19:20I really want to see the show.
00:19:22Yeah, you there?
00:19:25Circus tonight.
00:19:56Keep moving.
00:19:59Keep moving.
00:20:02Keep in step.
00:20:05Shut up.
00:20:06Keep in step.
00:20:08Keep moving.
00:20:11Keep moving.
00:20:15Keep in step.
00:20:17Shut up.
00:20:18Keep in step.
00:20:38All right, walk faster.
00:20:42Move around.
00:20:43Faster.
00:20:44Keep moving.
00:20:55Now, when I tell you, you'll raise your arms for four footsteps,
00:20:59and then you'll lower them for four footsteps.
00:21:03Now!
00:21:07Raise them!
00:21:12Lower them!
00:21:15Do what I tell you!
00:21:19Raise them!
00:21:20Now!
00:21:23Do as I tell you!
00:21:37Now!
00:22:07Now!
00:22:08Now!
00:22:36Mr. Sullivan.
00:22:37That's too bad.
00:22:38Okay, give me a little of that sauce.
00:22:45Did you hear something?
00:22:47No, I didn't hear anything.
00:22:53Hey, there it is again.
00:22:55Keep it. I'll be right back.
00:23:04Oh, no!
00:23:07Oh, no!
00:23:38It's cold.
00:23:42I'm freezing.
00:23:48I'm freezing.
00:23:50I want to give her my blanket.
00:23:52No, we need them ourselves.
00:23:56You didn't finish telling me what brought you here.
00:24:00I was working.
00:24:03What brought you here?
00:24:05I was working in a lab in L.A. on radio activity,
00:24:13and I heard that this part of the desert was part of a nuclear test site.
00:24:19So I came out here to do some tests on cells, mutation,
00:24:26on animals and plants, and that's when I met Andre.
00:24:34What was that?
00:24:36I don't know.
00:24:48You know, that girl is really sick.
00:24:51Look, just eat your food and remain calm,
00:24:55because you'll need your energy when it comes time for the performance.
00:25:01What performance?
00:25:03I don't know. Forget about it.
00:25:17I can't take just sitting here not knowing what's going to happen to us.
00:25:24Those noises are horrible.
00:25:26What are they?
00:25:28Oh, I'm so glad it's dark and we can't see those freaks over there.
00:25:32Is this what we have to look forward to?
00:25:37Crazy like that one?
00:25:39Pacing back and forth like her?
00:25:41Or that one?
00:25:44We can't let that happen to us, Corey.
00:25:49What did that girl mean when she talked about a performance?
00:25:54What performance?
00:25:56She said something about a circus, and he thinks we're all animals.
00:26:02Animals in a circus?
00:26:05He can't be that crazy.
00:26:07Oh, yes, he can.
00:26:08He can't!
00:26:11Simone, Simone, what is he going to do to us?
00:26:15What is he going to do to us?
00:26:17I don't know!
00:26:26That girl's been here for six months.
00:26:30And she's crazy!
00:26:33Six months, I couldn't stand it!
00:26:38Oh, man, we've got to keep it together.
00:26:46I mean, we're not going to go crazy in here.
00:26:51Place!
00:26:53It's dinner time.
00:26:56We had some visitors today.
00:26:59Men!
00:27:03You wouldn't want any of them around, would you?
00:27:06They have such strange habits.
00:27:19That's better.
00:27:21Now you're learning some manners.
00:27:25Are you hungry today?
00:27:28I thought you might be.
00:27:30You're a hungry little girl, aren't you?
00:27:55THE DEMONS
00:28:138-9-8-7-2-0, please.
00:28:18Phil Langley.
00:28:20Phil! Yeah, Phil, listen, this is Moore.
00:28:23is more. No. Naturally I'm worried about what might have happened to him. But I'm concerned
00:28:33about him, right? I don't know where they are. Phil, look, I know you have to cancel.
00:28:39I know that. But I'm worried about him. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to
00:28:43double back tomorrow morning and see if I can find them. Yeah. Well, I've already talked
00:28:49to the police in Nevada and California. No trace. Yeah. Phil, I understand your situation.
00:28:56Okay? All right. Okay, Phil. Thanks. Yeah. Good night.
00:29:03Here's something for my little bears. You know, in the circus, they train bears to do
00:29:12tricks for their food. I'm going to teach the two of you a little trick.
00:29:28Now, something for my little doe.
00:29:33Now, you must eat. You must.
00:29:38Good. Good.
00:29:47So quiet. For so long.
00:29:51You all belong to me now. You know. You mustn't fight me.
00:30:21The keys. The keys. The keys.
00:30:33The keys. The keys.
00:30:37The keys. The keys.
00:30:41Please. They're right there, honey. The keys. Put out your hand. You can reach the keys.
00:30:47Listen to me. The keys. You, please, get the keys.
00:30:54Put out your hand.
00:31:03Oh, my God. Give me the keys. I got them.
00:31:09I got them. Give me the keys.
00:31:18Give me the keys. Give me the keys.
00:31:30Hurry. Hurry, Marlene.
00:31:48Are you going to run out on me?
00:31:53Are you going to run out on me?
00:32:17Are you going to run out on me?
00:32:19Are you going to run out on me?
00:32:45I'm your trainer.
00:32:49You obey me, and you'll be part of the greatest animal menagerie in history.
00:32:56But if you disobey, you will suffer.
00:33:14Tomorrow.
00:33:19Tomorrow.
00:33:49Operator. Yeah, this is Moore in 165.
00:33:52Tell the desk to have my bill ready. I'm checking out.
00:33:55Yeah. Okay.
00:34:19Okay.
00:34:50Your license, please.
00:35:11Look, officer, the reason I was speeding is that I'm looking for three missing people.
00:35:16The reason I was speeding is that I'm looking for three missing girls.
00:35:20Yeah, me too.
00:35:22No, I'm serious. Look, I'm an agent, and those three missing girls are my clients.
00:35:26That's why I'm driving up and down the highway here looking for them.
00:35:29Are you serious about that?
00:35:31Of course I'm serious. As a matter of fact, I'd like to file a missing persons report.
00:35:36Okay. Okay, we can take care of that.
00:35:39I'm still going to have to give you a ticket, though.
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:48Okay.
00:36:14Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:17welcome to the greatest and most astonishing trained animal act
00:36:24ever to be presented under the big top.
00:36:29It will be our humble pleasure
00:36:32to dazzle and delight you with a series of feats
00:36:37unequaled in the history of the circus world.
00:36:43But first,
00:36:46it's my unpleasant task
00:36:49to remove from my very trained menagerie
00:36:54the untrainable,
00:36:56the unmanageable,
00:36:59the dangerous,
00:37:01and the brutal.
00:37:04There is one such animal
00:37:08among us today.
00:37:11Who
00:37:13is it?
00:37:17You!
00:37:35No!
00:37:37No!
00:37:41No!
00:37:45No!
00:38:00No!
00:38:03No!
00:38:08She'll escape.
00:38:10She'll escape!
00:38:12She will! She'll escape!
00:38:33No!
00:38:46I don't need to use this, do I?
00:38:48No.
00:38:50No!
00:38:52I thought not.
00:38:55Here, put this on.
00:39:16That's enough paint.
00:39:18No, it's cow's blood.
00:39:21Blood, why?
00:39:23I couldn't let you go without it.
00:39:26Let me go?
00:39:28You're going to let me go?
00:39:31Of course.
00:39:34When?
00:39:37In just a minute.
00:39:42What about my sister
00:39:44and the others?
00:39:46They'll follow you soon,
00:39:48just like all the others.
00:39:51You'll let them go?
00:39:53Yes.
00:39:56And now,
00:39:59my little one,
00:40:03if you want to live,
00:40:05run.
00:40:08Run!
00:40:29Run!
00:40:59Run!
00:41:29Run!
00:41:59Run!
00:42:01Run!
00:42:29Hello, Sheriff Brand?
00:42:31This is Derek Moore.
00:42:33Yeah.
00:42:34Listen, have you found any trace of them?
00:42:37Well, I haven't found them either.
00:42:39Listen, I'll tell you what, Sheriff.
00:42:41If you find them, tell them...
00:42:44No, never mind. No, that's all right.
00:42:46I'll talk to you later.
00:42:48Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.
00:42:59Bye-bye.
00:43:30When I was a very small boy,
00:43:34I was afraid of the dark.
00:43:39So I listened to the music box.
00:43:43I didn't feel so alone.
00:43:48I didn't feel so alone.
00:43:52I didn't feel so alone.
00:43:55I didn't feel so alone.
00:44:17Father, Father, what happened?
00:44:19What happened to your face?
00:44:21Get away from me. Don't touch me.
00:44:23The men told us not to go near their testing site.
00:44:26Don't touch me.
00:44:28You and your mother.
00:44:30I'll take care of you until Mother comes back.
00:44:33All right.
00:44:54Ah.
00:44:59Ah.
00:45:23Ah.
00:45:53Ah.
00:46:24Ah.
00:46:42At last.
00:46:45You're back.
00:46:48I never thought I'd see you again.
00:46:54I didn't even recognize you.
00:46:58Here.
00:47:02I'll get you away from the animals.
00:47:05It smells so bad.
00:47:09I'm afraid you'll find that things have...
00:47:12changed a lot around here in the last few years.
00:47:16The circus and all...
00:47:19It's been very difficult here alone.
00:47:25I didn't even recognize you.
00:47:28Why do you use another name?
00:47:33Why didn't you tell me who you are?
00:47:40Leave her alone.
00:47:42God, you're crazy.
00:47:44We're not the animals. You are.
00:47:46You're repulsive. You're a degenerate.
00:47:49You dare insult me...
00:47:51in front of my mother?
00:47:53No. No.
00:48:02No.
00:48:09Oh, God, no.
00:48:12No.
00:48:16No.
00:48:34Sherry.
00:48:36Sherry.
00:48:41Help me.
00:48:44Oh, no.
00:49:04There. Now, isn't that better?
00:49:08Ten years.
00:49:12Time...
00:49:14twists things so.
00:49:16But I never gave up hope.
00:49:19And now you're here.
00:49:24You haven't changed...
00:49:26at all.
00:49:30When you went to Chicago...
00:49:32Father said...
00:49:34that it was my fault.
00:49:37He was angry with me.
00:49:40He said that you couldn't stand living with the two of us.
00:49:47And he blamed me.
00:49:51But that's not true, is it, Mother?
00:49:54No, what isn't true?
00:49:57And then the military came.
00:50:00Tried to drive us away...
00:50:02with their strange...
00:50:05experiments.
00:50:08Father tried to blame that on me, too.
00:50:12He thought I was trying...
00:50:14to kill you.
00:50:17And I thought I was trying to kill you.
00:50:20Father tried to blame that on me, too.
00:50:24He thought I was trying...
00:50:26to sell the land.
00:50:29He thought I was trying to trick him.
00:50:32Where is your father now, Andre?
00:50:41He's being cared for.
00:50:51Father had an accident, Mother.
00:50:56I do everything now.
00:51:03What was that?
00:51:05Shh!
00:51:07It's him again.
00:51:09No, it's him.
00:51:11Maybe it's help.
00:51:13It's Andre.
00:51:15I know it's him.
00:51:17It's Andre.
00:51:19I know it's him.
00:51:21Maybe, maybe, maybe it's Samoa.
00:51:24Maybe she got loose.
00:51:32Where's Samoa?
00:51:50Andre, why do you keep those girls locked up in the barn?
00:51:54Now that I'm here, couldn't you let them go?
00:51:57No, I couldn't let them go.
00:51:59I captured them.
00:52:01They belong to me.
00:52:04You don't know how hard it is.
00:52:07Sometimes I have to stalk them from the tower,
00:52:09then I have to catch them.
00:52:12And then they still don't work out at times.
00:52:15Sometimes they have to be disposed of.
00:52:21Aren't they missed?
00:52:22Doesn't anyone ever come looking for their animals?
00:52:25No.
00:52:29No one misses these little animals out in that jungle.
00:52:34The jungle has very short memory.
00:52:39The jungle has very short memory.
00:53:09You didn't like your breakfast?
00:53:11No, no, it was fine, fine.
00:53:13I guess I'm just not hungry, that's all.
00:53:16More coffee?
00:53:17Yeah, thanks.
00:53:19You really must have a lot on your mind.
00:53:22Around here, I'm considered the best cook in the county.
00:53:26The breakfast was great, it was good.
00:53:28But it's true, I got a lot on my mind.
00:53:32All right.
00:53:33By the way, where's the best place in town to stay?
00:53:36Well, there's a nice hotel just down the block.
00:53:41Good morning, Frank. How are you this morning?
00:53:44Fine, fine.
00:53:45Coffee?
00:53:46Yeah.
00:53:48I've been up all night trying to find a couple of missing motorists.
00:53:52The usual?
00:53:53Please.
00:53:54Coming right up.
00:53:55Excuse me.
00:53:57Missing motorists, you found them?
00:54:01No, sir, I'm afraid we didn't.
00:54:03Were they women?
00:54:06Uh, no, no.
00:54:08Two men, campers.
00:54:09We reported yesterday missing from the campsite about ten miles from here.
00:54:13Well, I'm missing some people, too.
00:54:14You haven't heard about three young women disappearing a couple of days ago
00:54:17somewhere between here and Las Vegas, have you?
00:54:22Seems to me we received a report from the county.
00:54:25But I thought that the highway patrol dismissed it as an erroneous report.
00:54:29What do you mean, erroneous report?
00:54:32Eh, we get them all the time.
00:54:34People get lost out here for a while, later they bump up like nothing happened.
00:54:38You mean you guys do nothing about looking for these people?
00:54:42Yeah, we do what we can.
00:54:44Why, what's your interest in these girls?
00:54:47They're my clients, these girls.
00:54:49I booked them in Las Vegas. They were opening at the Las Vegas Lodge.
00:54:52I left them a couple of days ago in Los Angeles, and I said, you know,
00:54:55we'll all meet in Vegas, and they never showed up.
00:54:58So I'm going nuts trying to find out what happened to them.
00:55:00Well, maybe they stayed in Los Angeles.
00:55:03No, no, no, no, no. This was the opening night.
00:55:05They couldn't wait to get there. Let me tell you something.
00:55:07I've been to every town between here and Vegas,
00:55:09and I've checked with the highway patrol.
00:55:11No reports of accidents, nothing.
00:55:16You say you've checked all the town along the highway?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:21You obviously took another route.
00:55:23Now, what was your name again?
00:55:25Derek Moore.
00:55:29All right, Mr. Moore.
00:55:31Can you describe the women to me?
00:55:33You know, how they would dress, make a car, anything that might help?
00:55:37Well, there was a blonde and two brunettes, very pretty girls,
00:55:42and they were driving a brown Ford station wagon, 66.
00:55:50I want to check out a few things. I'll be right back.
00:55:53Everything's going to be all right, son.
00:55:55Frank Stanford's a darn good man.
00:55:58He'll do everything he can.
00:56:00Yeah, well, somebody better do something.

01:00:25You'll get used to him.
01:00:29You're going to learn his ways,
01:00:33his movements.
01:00:38You're going to get inside of him,
01:00:41and he's going to get inside of you.

01:00:56Ah!
01:00:57Ah!
01:00:58Ah!
01:01:01Here's something.
01:01:03A credit card receipt.
01:01:05Seems that three nights ago,
01:01:06the girl fitting your description in her car
01:01:08filled up the baker's garage.
01:01:09Did the guy at the station say which way they headed for?
01:01:11No, but there's only a couple routes they could have taken.
01:01:14Now let's see.
01:01:16Here is the main highway leading into Nevada.
01:01:20This is an old secondary road.
01:01:21Hasn't been used since the government
01:01:22closed it up some years back.
01:01:24What's that?
01:01:25You mean right here?
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:28I don't know. It could be anything.
01:01:29Just an old dirt road.
01:01:30Probably the lead to a ranch or something.
01:01:32Something.
01:01:33That's exactly it. Something.
01:01:35The end of the world, perhaps.
01:01:37Even worse, the gateway to Hades.
01:01:41Now, Mr. Alvarez, the sheriff is busy.
01:01:45Well, he should be.
01:01:47There's someone walking around out there.
01:01:50Now, Mr. Alvarez, are you watching them flying saucers again?
01:01:54Among other things.
01:01:56I say the testing of the H-bomb is changing our whole world.
01:02:02You're not going to get me out there, no sirree.
01:02:12Okay, what do we do now?
01:02:14I'll tell you what we're going to do.
01:02:16We're going to do a little snooping around.
01:02:19First, we'll try the old highway.
01:02:21I'll put in a call to the CHP,
01:02:24and the Nevada boys will check their end of the highway.
01:02:27Miss Bain, when my two partners show up,
01:02:30send them up to the old highway. Pronto?
01:02:32Right away, Frank.
01:02:34I want to show you something.
01:02:47Now, Mother, I don't want you ever to come in here again.
01:02:51I'm afraid not, Frank.
01:02:52I'm afraid not, Mrs. Alvarez.
01:02:54I'm afraid not.
01:02:55Then I'll have to see to it.
01:02:57I'll have to see to it.
01:02:58I'll have to see to it.
01:02:59I'll have to see to it.
01:03:00I'll have to see to it.
01:03:02I want you ever to come in here alone. It's very dangerous
01:03:19This is my lab my
01:03:24Workshop, I've spent a great deal of time getting things ready
01:03:28for the show
01:03:30It's not
01:03:31Much I know, but it's convenient and look look
01:03:35See I can watch the animals through here
01:03:41Now mother I've got to go away for a little while, but you'll be safe here
01:03:55No mother they're too dangerous
01:03:58They're vicious

01:04:16Duty as ringmaster to teach them discipline
