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.

- Goodbye.
Thanks a lot.
It's a fine thing. Now I have to pay to see you.
- Howdy, fan.
