A man in a white shirt is seen inside a room with furniture and framed pictures; he moves toward a table and then leans forward near a window. A woman in a light dress is briefly visible near a doorway. The transcript includes lines about fear of fire and plans to leave for a place called Beatman's.

“They're afraid of fire. I found that out.” 24:37 · “I'm going to go.” 24:45 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check. 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.
