Two men are seen near a body on a roadside; one stands over it while the other approaches. Dialogue indicates they plan to stage the death as that of Dr. Zorko and discuss retrieving a car with bodies inside.
“The man is dead. How fortunate. That simplifies everything. We will make it seem that it is the famous Dr. Zorko has been killed.” 13:52 · “Then we will get another car, go home, and see what they are doing there.” 14:22 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.
