A woman holds a revolver to her neck while a man sits nearby; dialogue questions her constant smile and asks how many they have done. The setting is an interior room with furniture and wall decor visible.

“You always have a smile for me. How can you smile like that all the time?” 64:02 · “How many we have done?” 64:07 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.
