The job is pretty boring until he finds a man trapped in an old Indian dwelling. He jumps at the chance to make a name for himself by taking over and prolonging the rescue effort, and feeding stories to major newspapers. He creates a national media sensation and milks it for all it is worth - until things go terribly wrong.

What's it gonna be?
I'm thinking. Don't rush me.
I'll do something.
You could always give that poor fellow in there a ticket for parking overtime.
Let me have those things.
Who do you think you are butting in like this?
- Let me have your flashlight.
- Who is he?
I'll tell you who I am. I'm the guy who's going in that cave.
And you're the guy that's been sounding off long enough.
Now give me your flashlight.
- Why, you... - Shut up.
Come on, Herbie.
Thanks, mister, and God bless you.
Tell him we'll get him out.
Tell him not to worry.
- Sure.
- Okay.
And tell him we'll have a big coming-out party for him with a brass band and everything.
Here's the rope.
I hope we can get to him.
Yeah.
Watch out for those rocks.
The old man sure looked bad.
- Did you see his face?
