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.

Did you get your man out, Mr Kusac?
I'm afraid we didn't.
We were too late.
Well, then, suppose we let Mr Smollett do it his way, from the top.
Thank you, Mr Tatum. Thank you very much. And thank you, Mr Smollett.
I know I speak for my entire radio audience when I express my great admiration for both of you.
Mr Tatum is now approaching the entrance to the cliff dwelling to start another one of his perilous journeys into the underground mazes of this dread mountain.
As he waves to the crowd, you can hear the tremendous cheer!
Hiya, Leo. What do you say?
Five minutes late this morning.
Sorry. What's the matter?
- Did you eat anything?
- I'm not hungry.
- Take your pills?
- Yeah.
This afternoon, when the doctor comes, you better give yourself another injection.
I don't want any injection.
It's that drill.
You gotta keep telling yourself, Leo, they're getting closer all the time.
I can't stand it. It never stops.
It's like somebody was driving crooked nails through my head.
Listen to it! It's enough to wake up the dead, I tell you... Stop!
I'm sorry.
Here. I brought you the paper.
Thanks. Yesterday, I read there were 2,000 people outside.
