Three people stand near a car in what appears to be a town setting; one man instructs another to retrieve incriminating films from Harmon's room to show the sheriff. The dialogue indicates the group is under threat and must act carefully to free others from jail.

“We've got to get the boys out of jail. How are we going to do that with everybody in town shooting at us? Well, that's for you to figure out, Pat. I'll tell you how to start. Gosh, I wish you would.” 35:49 · “First, you've got to get those movies of Harmon's. You've got to sneak them out of his room some way and make the sheriff look at them.” 35:59 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.
