Three people are in a dimly lit, cluttered room with machinery and a large robot; one person is seated at a table while another stands near the robot. Dialogue reveals concern about spies, a missing meteorite, and a plan to pursue a truck while tracking a radio signal.
“They sounded like spies, but their faces were strange. Masks. How did they find us? They had been in the oven, a little. They couldn't have, unless you gave it to them. Well, they must have stolen it from Mallory. In any event, the hands are in here. Start setting. I'm convinced that Dr. Zorka's still alive.” 54:51 · “The robot was manipulated by someone. I don't remember Dr. Zorka ever referring to a robot during the time we were associated.” 55:17 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.
