thrifty, brave, clean, reverent,

and must do a good deed

every day!

Don't go away! Don't go away!

All right then. Hey, hey!

The boat is leaking!

Stay there. He'll be right up.

There he is.

Ha! I got him! I got him!

Aw, let me go!

I got a right to drown myself.

It's a free country.

Let me go!

You wanna catch cold in this water?

Help me with...

Come here. Get ahold... I...

What's the matter?

This guy's heavy! He's got lead

in his pockets or something.

Well, get the lead out! Oh, so

that's what you're after... my gold!

All right!

Take it and let me drown!

Hey!

I don't wanna be saved. I wanna

drown. Let me go. Tom! But Tom...

Come on! Get up! Get up

outta there. Let me go!

I haven't got anything to live for.

Nothing to live for?

Man, with all that gold

that you've got?

Nothing means anything for me

without Rosette.

Rosette?

Who in the world is she?

Rosette?

Yes.

She's the most beautiful creature

in the Yukon.

She once loved me.

Now she hates me.

I can't get her out of my mind,

no matter how I try.

My life's not worth living!

Let me go!

No, you don't. No, you don't.

No, you don't.

Take it easy, buddy. Take it easy.

Calm down.

George?

What kind of a guy is he?

What are you doing?

George.! What are you doing?

I'm going down for the third time!

Here. Grab that rope.

Tie that rope around you.

Tie it around you.!

P- Pull it up! Pull it up!

You got it?

Good boy!

Let the rope loose! Let it loose!

Hold on. Hold on there.

Now, get... Come on. Attaboy.

Come on. Come on, George.

Come on, boy. No, you don't!

Now you hold still.

I got enough trouble here.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Grab yourself.

Get outta here.

Now, hold on there.

Get up here. Up.

Get this off! You wanna

choke me? W-Where's the gold?

In my pants.

Where? Where's your pants?

Down there. Come on. Let's

go. Yeah. Get that gold.

Wait a minute Take it easy. Don't

lose the gold. I'm gonna take it easy.

A little bit, little bit... pull it out.

This thing is really loaded.

Why keep me in agony?

You should have let me drown.

Drown? With all this gold?

Uh, I mean, NuggetJoe, you've got

everything in the world to live for.

Huh. The richest

gold mine in Alaska.

Why, with that kind of money, you can get any

girl you want. Why worry about that one girl?

I don't want any girl.

I want Rosette.

How about a little sleep?

I'm tired.

Stop that! Thinking of yourself. I'm ashamed

of you, George. At a time like this here.

We've gotta

cheer up NuggetJoe.

What kind of a Scout

Ranger are you? A tired one.

Never mind that.

We've gotta make NuggetJoe laugh.

NuggetJoe, when we get through

entertaining you,

you'll be walking on the clouds

and singing like a bluebird.

Come on. Now, let's give him the old

routine that we did at the fireman's ball.

- This'll kill ya.

- Good. I wanna die.

Oh, no, no, Joe.

Wait till you get a load of this.

Uh, George, uh,

you know my wife's an angel?

You're lucky.

Mine's living.

Mine's living.!

You know, Tom,

marriage is just like a poker game.

How come? First you hold a

pretty hand, you make a pair...

Yes. And then you get three of a kind,

and the first thing you know,

you got a full house.

Ohhh! We got him!

He's in hysterics.

As long as we got him, I'm gonna

tell him another joke. Go ahead.

Do you know I've been married for 25 years

and I'm still in love with the same woman?

How come? When my wife finds

out about it, she'll kill me.

I wish somebody

would kill me.

Open up.!

Mrs. McGillicuddy.

Come on. We've gotta hide you.

She'll charge us for

three in a room. Hurry up.

I know you're in there.!

Open up.!

I want my rent!

M... Excuse me.

Mrs. McGillicuddy. Tom and I were just

saying we haven't seen enough of you lately.

If you'd stop sneaking out the backdoor,

maybe you would! You owe me three months rent.

Why, Mrs. McGillicuddy,

how charming you look.

I know. It's your hair. You've

done something different to it.

She put it on her head. I want my

money or I'm going after the police.

Oh, it's too cold a night

to go out riding on a broom.

Here, Mrs. McGillicuddy.

There you are. That should

take care of everything.

- Why, it's real!

- Sure.

And keep the change. There's

plenty more where that come from.

Well...

Wait a minute, Tom.

What's the matter?

That gold belongs toJoe.

Isn't he our pal?

Yeah. Pals share and share alike.

Everything he's got belongs to us...

and everything we got belongs

to him. But we ain't got nothin'.

That's the way pals work.

Yeah?

Sure. Come here.

Hey! What a funny way

to wash his teeth.

He's drowning himself again!

- Now you gotta stop this nonsense.!

- I wanna go home.

Y- You can't.

Your clothes are all wet.

Then I'll go home and get

some dry ones. Wait a minute.

Now, you stay here

and get a good night's sleep.

I'll go over and fetch your things

in the morning.

Well, I'm too tired

to try anything else tonight.

That's right.

I'll get a fresh start in the morning.

What's the matter with you?

Aw, stop!

You're always complaining!

Come on! Get your things.

Come on in here.

Come on, come on.

Stop this nonsense.

Oh. Would you do me a favor? What's that?

Could I have a drink of water? Water?

No, no, no.

You go to sleep.

Hey. He's sleeping on my side of

the bed. Where am I gonna sleep?

You won't be needing it. We'll

have to sleep in two-hour shifts.

I don't trust this guy. You

mean, you're afraid he, uh...

Mm. We'd better

keep our eye open.

Come here.

It's pretty near 11:00.

Wake me up at 1:
00.

You're on the first shift.

On the first shift. Mm.

You kidding? Ohhh!

Shh.

Psst, psst, psst. Psst, psst. Mm.

It's 1:
00. My turn.

Come on. It's 3:
00.

Yeah?

3:
00. Yeah.

Boy, I sure needed that sleep.

Sure. That first two

hours is always the best.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

It's 5:
00. You know, I'm a

little tired and I don't know why.

Come on. Get some sleep.

You'll feel better.

Okay.

7:
00.

Already?

Yeah.

You have a good sleep?

Just wonderful.
