A man in a light shirt speaks with another man in a dark shirt inside a thatched structure; a woman in a floral dress enters. Dialogue references a past fight and breakfast.

“Don't leave a waiting test, Captain!” 16:27 · “Hi, Doc. Hello, Bill. Long time O.C., Doc. That's right. I was unconscious last time you made the peel. My old enemy here had me down. Yeah, I heard about it. Must have been a rip-storer. Oh, it was. I was out for three days. I saw the managool coming in this morning. I've been waiting for you. Oh, well. Sit down, Bill. Have some breakfast. Yes, sir.” 16:30 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.
