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.

They'll rope you into a game of 20 questions.
And 20 questions take 20 answers.
And one of them may be the wrong one.
Don't worry, Mr Tatum. They just want me to write something for them.
- Write what?
- My life with Leo, in three parts.
- I got them up to $750.
- Tell them you can't spell.
I told them I'm not interested in their $750.
And you're not interested in $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000, understand?
And I'm not interested in their three-part story, either.
It's the fourth part I'm thinking about.
After I get out of here, I'm figuring on going to New York, too.
Maybe I'll run into you. Maybe you'll buy me a couple of drinks.
Maybe you'll even take me out for a big evening, huh?
How big?
You won't be ashamed of me.
I'm gonna buy me a new trousseau and look real swell.
Why don't you wash that platinum out of your hair?
This is radio station KOAT, Albuquerque.
Bob Bumpas speaking and bringing you
our 10:
00 p.m. Special events newscast from Escudero.
This is the fifth night the big drill has been pounding and grinding its way toward Leo.
The rescue workers are now only 26 feet away.
At the rate they are going, they should reach Leo by this time tomorrow night.
