A man is introduced as Mr. Abner Peabody at what appears to be a Mars Airport, while another man searches for him and reacts to a calendar showing the 17th. A rocket ship is mentioned as being present and loaded.
“Get away from that! That's the plunger that sets off the rocket ship!” 66:42 · “I give you Mr. Abner Peabody.” 66:51 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
