Three men stand on a railroad track in daylight; one is being tied up while another speaks of a surprise. The dialogue suggests a planned prank or staged event, with references to tying hands and feet and a request to time out the scene.
“What are we doing down here on the railroad track, Lump? Are we going to hop a freight and run away from home?” 32:45 · “Before I say, I expect we'd better time out that much, Edric.” 33:00 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.
