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 that you been playing on your typewriter all night?
From upstairs, it sounded like that Sabre Dance.
With all this trouble, I didn't think you could sleep anyhow.
I've had enough sleep, five years of it.
What else could you do in Escudero?
Look at the family album?
- Where'd you get it?
- From Mama Minosa.
Just shows.
Yesterday, you never even heard of Leo.
Today, you can't know enough about him.
Aren't you sweet?
Good-looking kid in his uniform, wasn't he?
Him and eight million other guys.
See our wedding picture?
Bet you didn't even recognise me.
Sure, I did. You were a brunette then.
In '45? No, in '45, I was a redhead.
See how skinny I was?
A hospital back in Baltimore said I had a touch of TB.
You'd never think it to look at me now.
You don't look like a chest case to me.
If you can spare this one, I'd like to take it along, in case I forget what he looks like.
What time is it?
5:
45. What's all this about?
