00:00The legend is true, and I believe that it is.
00:04I believe that John Vinci found that flame,
00:08and that it still burns somewhere,
00:11remote and mysterious,
00:14offering eternal life.
00:17That's why I've sent for you.
00:19You're a Vinci, the last of us.
00:23Holly can't do it alone,
00:26but he'll go with you.
00:28John Vinci was an explorer.
00:30It's in your blood, you,
00:33the lover of adventure.
00:35Don't look upon this as a deathbed wish.
00:38If you should try,
00:40if you succeed,
00:43I shan't be here.
00:45But I hope that somehow I shall know,
00:49and somehow share in your triumph,
00:51when you say,
00:53here burns the flame of life.
00:58Uncle John.
01:03John.
01:05John!
01:05John!
01:05Go get it up, boy!
01:25Let's hope this chap has some tea.
01:43I'll take mine with a big reindeer steak.
01:46You're gonna!
01:47Fine old northern hospitality.
01:49Nothing in the world like it, they tell me.
01:55Northern hospitality, eh?
02:02Tell me a textum.
02:06Well, I'm blown.
02:13I thought you were some of those infernal wandering Chantos.
02:17Can't take any chances with them.
02:20Don't we know it?
02:21Stayed with the tribe of them last week.
02:22Planning to stay here tonight, I take it.
02:26We hope so.
02:26Come 20 miles today.
02:28Come here.
02:30Come here.
02:33Sit down, both of you.
02:35There's a big stew on the stove just about ready.
02:38Plenty to go around.
02:39Yeah, I'm glad of that.
02:41Hey, how about supper?
02:44Do we eat or don't we?
02:45Okay.
02:52Hey, oh, that's my daughter Tanya.
02:59Sit down.
03:15Thank you very much.
03:22Now then, gents.
03:28Do I understand you want to do business with me?
03:31We heard you had the post furthest up country.
03:33We thought you might be able to help us get some natives to go on.
03:36Where do you want to go?
03:38Did you ever hear of the Shugal Barrier?
03:41Why, yes.
03:42I've heard natives talk of it.
03:44They're at last.
03:45We're on our way.
03:46On your way where?
03:48Over the Shugal.
03:49Oh, you're crazy.
03:50Why?
03:50You'll never get a native to guide you there.
03:53We'll pay them well.
03:54That ain't the point.
03:55They're afraid to go, I tell you.
03:58Why?
03:59Because no one who got over ever came back, so far as I know.
04:04Why didn't he come back?
04:05What lies beyond the Shugal?
04:07More of the same, I suppose.
04:09Of course, the natives have tales about it.
04:12Well, what did they say?
04:15I never paid much attention to their foolishness.
04:18I can tell you.
04:20You can?
04:20What is it?
04:21The natives say that beyond the Shugal there are terrible dangers.
04:24They say...
04:25Yes, go on.
04:28Why, it's just a sort of legend.
04:31What is the legend?
04:33A long time ago, they believe, a woman came out of the country that lies far beyond the Shugal.
04:37What sort of woman?
04:38A white woman.
04:39She told them that she had escaped from a strange place.
04:42Strange?
04:43And if a man finds the way there, he will never die.
04:47The catch in that is, he dies before he gets there.
04:52Hold your trap, Tanya.
04:53You gab too much.
04:55Wait.
04:57Is there anything in the story about fire?
05:00A flame?
05:01Anything you can connect with this?
05:03No, I don't think so.
05:08What's that?
05:11Gold, ain't it?
05:13Yes.
05:15It is gold.
05:18I see.
05:20Well, now you begin to make sense.
05:22So that's what lies beyond the Shugal.
05:24No, you don't understand.
05:26Gold isn't what we interested in.
05:28Ah.
05:29Suppose I could get a few natives to go on.
05:33How much could you pay them?
05:34Anything they asked.
05:36Well, that's liberal enough.
05:39Money no object, eh?
05:40Lads, no one can say old Doug Moore ever let a white man down.
05:48I'll get natives to go.
05:51I'll run the outfit myself, and you needn't pay me a penny.
05:55How's that for an offer?
05:56What?
05:57What about those dangers you talked about?
05:59I'll be frank with you, gents.
06:01I figure it's worth some risk to be a partner in what you're after.
06:06My dear sir, that's absurd.
06:07You can't be a partner in what we're looking for.
06:10I said a partner.
06:12You try to keep me out of this,
06:15I'll fix it so that no native in these parts
06:17will come within a thousand miles of you.
06:22Take it or leave it.
06:25Tanya, here.
06:30I'll tell you again, Doug Moore, you're crazy.
06:32You can't take a girl up there.
06:33Oh, stop rowing about it.
06:35I'm sick of hearing it.
06:36We don't know what we're getting into.
06:37What's your idea, then?
06:39To leave her here alone,
06:40with no one around for 400 miles,
06:43except a lot of wandering shantos,
06:45who'd like to get even with me.
06:46Anyhow, we want somebody to cook.
06:48My dear, has anybody taken the trouble
06:50to ask you what you want to do?
06:52I want to go.
06:53There, you see?
06:55She wouldn't leave her poor old pa.
06:57Well, if there weren't any place to leave her,
07:01I wouldn't let her come along.
07:07Think you'll be all right?
07:09I'm all right.
07:10Come along.
07:11Let's go.
07:11Goro, push it.
07:14Suh!
07:14Suh!
07:15Suh!
07:15Suh!
07:16Suh!
07:17Suh!
07:17The End
07:47Hey, Dr. Moore!
08:03Look!
08:04That may lead to a way over the Shugal Barrier.
08:06What do you think?
08:07Well, let's hope so.
08:09We've followed that cliff for a week without finding a way through it.
08:12Anyhow, it'll be a shelter from the wind.
08:15And the dogs can't go on without a rest.
08:18Hurry up with that food, Tanya.
08:33It'll be ready as soon as I get it thawed out.
08:37I wouldn't mind being thawed out myself.
08:39Neil, this is no place to camp.
08:43Doug Moore says the dogs need a rest.
08:45I don't like it.
08:47Sitting down here under this wall of ice, it's dangerous.
08:49What's the matter with you now?
08:52What's dangerous?
08:59There you are.
09:00Oh, what of it?
09:02You've heard that several times lately.
09:05In this narrow place, any noise might start vibrations which might cause an avalanche.
09:11Merely shouting might do it.
09:12Oh, pipe down.
09:13Who's lived in the North for 20 years?
09:15Me or you?
09:17Lecture yourself out of that, Professor.
09:20You.
09:21Hurry up with that grub.
09:22I still don't like it.
09:33Smells good.
09:34Tastes good, too.
09:35Snow rabbits.
09:36Are the ones I shot?
09:37Oh, I'll fix that.
09:40You don't have to help me.
09:42But I won't to.
09:43You think having me along is a nuisance.
09:46Oh.
09:46We couldn't get along without you.
09:49I wish you really meant that.
09:51I do, honest.
09:53Because I can cook?
09:55Well, not only that, but there's another reason.
09:58Your father.
10:00If it weren't for you, I couldn't get along with him for a minute.
10:02But with you here, I find him at least terrible.
10:06I know.
10:09That isn't very nice of me, is it?
10:11I can't blame you, but...
10:13I understand.
10:14He's your father.
10:15You see, I was brought up by the Russian sisters at Urukshi.
10:20The conga broke up about a year ago, and then he came and took me to the trading post.
10:25He said he was my father.
10:27Well, I begin to understand.
10:29What's all right, really?
10:31But it isn't all right.
10:32When we get back from this trip, I'll teach him how a girl like you ought to be treated.
10:36If I had a daughter like you, don't you think I'd love her and show her that I do?
10:42Would you?
10:43Well, of course I would.
10:44I don't see how he can help loving you.
10:46Why, you're...
10:47You're...
10:48Vinci!
10:49Vinci!
10:50Holly!
10:51Holly!
10:52What's up?
10:52The natives have just come down from the glacier.
10:55Freaking something about a white man.
10:58Let's go up and see what it's about.
11:06They'll show us the way.
11:08Mingolanda!
11:09Come on!
11:34By the Lord Harry, what a beast.
11:51Pauly, what is it?
11:54Unless I'm Barmy, it's a saber-toothed tiger.
11:57Think of it, man.
11:59That's a new one on me.
12:01A saber-toothed tiger.
12:03They've been extinct for thousands of years, haven't they?
12:05In all known parts of the world, yes.
12:07But here, they must have been preserved in that ice for four or five hundred years.
12:12They must have camped in this glacier.
12:16Look how that man's dressed.
12:18Pauly, the servant.
12:20The faithful servant who was with John Vince's wife.
12:22What did the parchment say, remember?
12:24By Jove, Leo, you're right.
12:25He killed the great beast but died of the wounds it gave him.
12:27And she escaped alone, remember?
12:30Pauly, we found our way.
12:32The weight of the flame.
12:33Look.
12:36That stiff's got a chain around his neck.
12:39And there's a ripped canvas bag.
12:43It's gold.
12:46This ice ain't so thick, and with this axe...
12:48Don't be a fool.
12:50You heard what Hollis said about any vibration causing an avalanche.
12:53Oh, the professor says a lot of things.
12:55Come on, let's get out of here.
12:56Come on.
13:02Come on.
13:03Come on.
13:04Let's get out of here.
13:35Gun ball!
