 Dangerously yours. Dangerously yours. A half hour of romantic adventure presented by Vicks and starring Victor Jory in The Pirate of Orleans. You know when head calls are in the air, millions of people use Vicks Vaternal Nose Drops to relieve distress. Benefit by their experience. And now, dangerously yours. I am adventure. In my name men have traversed the highways, the byways, the skyways of the world. I have tramped the jungles with explorers. I have crossed the wilderness frontiers on horseback and uncovered wagons. I am the fire that burns in the heart of youth that makes men dream and dare and conquer. I am dangerously yours. Come with me today to the high seas of adventure. Walk the decks of a tall masted ship with one of the boldest swashbuckling adventurers that ever sailed. The Pirate of Orleans. Have you met John De Feet yet? No, I can't say that I have. Well my dear, he's the most handsome thing you ever saw in your life. Have you married? No one knows, but there are all sorts of stories. I've heard that he's married to an Indian princess, a Spanish Countess and a Viennese dancer. What does Mr. La Feet say to all this? What does Mr. La Feet say? I have an very good authority that John La Feet stopped an entire revolution once. One man against thousands. On whose authority do you have it? Fire and La Feet, of course. What do you know about La Feet, Tom? La Feet? Well, he and his brother have a very fine blacksmith shop. They just bought a store. And he's a gentleman. Fire. Well, I've heard that he's the leader of the Pirates of Barataria. Oh nonsense. Whatever John La Feet is, he's positively not a pirate. There's a white flag going up. Are you sure? Take a look for yourself. All right. Hold your fire! Mrs. Benson, Dominic, you. Go over a boat and come with me. Peek, get in as close as you can. I'll remove the crew and the passengers and take the ship back to Barataria. That's too fine a ship to destroy. Come on, men. Let's see what pride we've had. What is the whole, Dominic, you? Look at those silks and those spices. We'll get good money for this treasure in New Orleans. There was a very pretty girl, did you notice, boss? Way over at the start, but she was standing. Her hair was like a sunshine on a yellow corn. Dominic, what are my orders about women on captured ships? Oh, but could we make an exception just the ones? I'd like that girl with the yellow hair. I'd even marry her. Marry her? You're such a beauty. What are my orders, Dominic? Under no circumstances is any woman on any captured ship to be approached for any reason whatsoever. Conversed with or touched unless... Unless by the captain? Unless by the captain. Unless it is necessary in removing them from one ship to another or from ship to land. See that you remember it. You wouldn't look well in irons, Dominic, you. No, I would not. All right, you start listing the things down here while I go above. We're setting sail at once. If it's not asking too much, would you mind telling me where you're taking us? Where were you bound? New Orleans. And that is where you will be taken. Who are you? What's your name? Constance Winthrop. Constance Winthrop? Is your father General Winthrop? Yes. Then what are you doing on a Spanish ship? I was visiting friends in Spain. If it's any of your business... Why, you should be more careful with your tongue in the presence of pirates, Miss Winthrop. I'm not afraid of you. You'd better be. I'm just as like as not to make you walk the plank tired of the autumn or give you the spanking of your life. You... you do that to a woman? Yes. If I thought you was trying to be on evil footing in a man's world... You have a little to learn about women, pirate. I'm not interested in being taught, Miss Winthrop. You're impossible. You're a conceited, egotistical, arrogant self-centered... Handsome, magnificent, exciting, fabulous pirate. Now you better go back to your cabin before I make you walk the plank tired of the autumn or... What was that other thing I mentioned, Miss Winthrop? Oh, I love you. Where is that music coming from? That's Dominic, you playing his fiddle. You'd better stay in your quarters. No. Let me look at the moon for a moment and taste the salt in my lips and feel the wind around me. I... I'm sorry I was so rude this afternoon. I lost my temper. It doesn't matter. Women are as changeable as the weather. I don't pay any attention to their moves. I wish you liked me better. Why should you care what I think of you? In the morning you'll be in New Orleans and you will have left my world. Perhaps I'd like to stay in it. You'd like to stay on a pirate ship? I think I would, if it were your ship. Ah, that's because it's a moon night and the air is sweet and someone's playing a fiddle. Some other day when the decks were running blood and the air was heavy with the smell of death, you wouldn't like a pirate ship. What's your name? I have no name. You're a hard man to get to know. That's right. And after tomorrow, I'll never see you again. I hope not. You'd put a rope around my neck. Well, the air's getting cold. You'd better turn in. Have you ever kissed a woman, pirate? A thousand. Would you kiss me? Good night and goodbye. Or are you afraid? Afraid? No. But you should be. Why? Because to me, you'd be just another woman that I had kissed. Next week, I wouldn't even remember it. But if I kissed you, if I kissed you, you'd never have hot or lips for another man in your life. You're a modest man, aren't you? Modest? Me? I should say not. Why should I be modest? I'm a conqueror and a pirate. Well, good night, conqueror. I hope I never do see you again. The temptation to put a rope around that neck might be too great. Good night. Good night, my beauty. Good night. Are you awake? Yes, Dominic. What is it? We're at anchor now. We're ready to take the passengers into New Orleans. Are you coming up to see them? No. The seniorine looks as though she had been crying. I would kiss her myself if it would do any good. Aren't you even going to say goodbye? No. Take them in. All right, boys. All right. Hello, Pierre. We made quite a haul this trip. We won't be able to dispose of it for a while, I'm afraid. We're in a little trouble, my brother. Why? What's happened? Governor Claiborne has sworn to stop all privateering. He says he's going to wipe out Barataria if it's the last thing he does in this world. And he says he's going to hang the leader before all of New Orleans. Has he named the leader? No. Well, then, what are you worried about? In the eyes of New Orleans were respected citizens, decent and peaceful. Maybe. Maybe not. People have always had suspicions. Well, let's not worry about it. I'll have a bath and a shave, and then I'll go pay a social call on Governor Claiborne. Perhaps for tea. I haven't had tea with the governor for a long time now. Too long for such friends to be apart. I tell you, Jean, I'm going to rid New Orleans of those parrots if it's the last thing I do. I don't blame you. Why, it's gotten so no one's safe around here anymore. I may call on you for help. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. Uncle, dear, have you seen my midi? Hello, Constance, my dear. I'd like you to meet a very good friend of mine, Mr. Jean Lafitte. My niece, Miss Winthrop, Mr. Lafitte. She's staying with me until her father returns. This is a pleasure, Mr. Lafitte. A very great pleasure, Miss Winthrop. I'm afraid I must beg to be excused. I must look in at the shop before it closes. Well, then, I'm very happy to have met you, Mr. Lafitte, and I trust we will meet again soon. Thank you, Miss Winthrop. Good day. Good day, Governor. Come again soon, Jean. That's a very handsome man, Uncle. That's a very dangerous man. I'm convinced he's the leader of the privateers. He doesn't look very dangerous to me. Are you positive? I'm so positive I'm going to put a price on his head and send my men after him tonight. Come in. Come in, Miss Winthrop. Sit down. You'll find that corner chair the most comfortable. Thank you. Would you care for a sherry? Thank you, no. Your manners have improved since we last met, sir. My change with the environment. Why did you come here? My uncle knows who you are. You told him? No. I don't know how he found out. That's true. It's true that he knows. Why didn't he keep me this afternoon? But that's what he had been for you. He was alone in the house. Tonight he will come with troops. He doesn't think that you suspect that he knows. So naturally he wouldn't expect you to try to escape. Well, then I must be on my way. There are some men to be warned. Hurry then and take care of yourself. I suppose this time I never will see you again. Constance. Once I told you I'd kissed a thousand women. It was a lie. I know. I've only kissed two or three hundred. Now, how many men have you kissed? Very few. But you offered me a kiss. Why? Such a foolish reason, I'm afraid. I just wanted to kiss you. Will you kiss me now? No. Not after the way you acted. I was never so humiliated. Darling. Really, you should try to keep that temper in check. I told you not to kiss me. And you might as well have said, stop breathing. Goodbye, Constance. Goodbye and thank you. When will I see you again? When will you see me again? You'll see me when the moon rises in a certain way that you will remember seeing before in a midnight sky. You'll see me when you see a ship at anchor with a battered look to her. You'll see me when you hear someone laugh in a certain way or someone shout or perhaps cry. And you'll see me every time someone else kisses you. I will not. If I'm never to see you again, I can forget you in a minute. You'll see. I can forget you all right. Then you're not the girl for me, my beauty. Goodbye. Don't. Goodbye. Oh, I hate that man. I hate that man. But, oh, Caramea. How I love him. Dangerously yours. We'll be back in just a moment with Act Two of the Pirate of Orleans.

Mr. Lafitte, the British government is prepared to offer you the sum of $30,000 in return for your help in capturing the city of New Orleans. And full pardon for you and your men. Does the offer interest you? The offer interests me very much. But I shall have to have time to think it over. Very well, Mr. Lafitte. As you know, we are anchored just outside your harbor. We shall await your answer. John, I'm so glad I found you. I have to talk to you. How did you ever find your way here through all the swans? I persuaded one of the men to bring me. Oh, John, there's terrible trouble in the city. The British, but there aren't enough men to fight. General Andrew Jackson has just arrived and he's ill with a fever and can't get men. John, the city's going to be captured. What do you want me to do about it? Why, help defend it. Are you forgetting there's a price on my head in New Orleans? I'm sure you could get a pardon. Oh, John, I want New Orleans safe and I want you safe in New Orleans. I don't want safety. I've never wanted it. I don't want it now. I've got a deck under my feet and a gun in my hand and a worthy prize coming in on the horizon. And I thought I loved you. Why, you haven't a decent, honorable motive in you. I thought you were a fearless man who would fight for a principle if you believed in it. But I see now you're only a thief after all. You'll only fight for a prize. Well, goodbye, Miss Latheet. Forgive me for taking up your time. General Jackson, you've read my papers. Now then will you grant a pardon for my men and for me so that we may fight for the United States? The United States is most grateful, Mr. Latheet. We accept your help with deep thanks and your pardon shall be granted. Accept our humble thanks for the victory we have just won. Well, Mr. Latheet, America and New Orleans will always be grateful to you. If it hadn't been for your help and the help of your men, we'd never have won such a great victory. Thank you, General Jackson. We were fighting a great cause. And now, my boy, go on out there and dance and have a good time. You're the hero of the hour and all the ladies are waiting to dance with you. Tell you about myself. Well, now let's see. A year or two ago south of the Canary Islands, oh, very south of the Canaries, I defeated an entire needy army single-handed. All by yourself? Mr. Latheet, just imagine. It was nothing. I picked them up two by two and cracked their heads together. Do you tell me all about yourself? Well, let us see. One time six or seven months ago, somewhere north of Haiti, oh, very north of Haiti as a matter of fact, I decided to hunt for treasure on the ocean bed. So I put one knife in my teeth and one niche hand and dove in. I came face to face immediately with six sharks. Oh, what happened? They ate me. So I wiped out the entire nation of cannibals single-handed. And then I was a little tired. When the camel got tired of carrying me, I carried the camel. Bolton had a harem of 60 wives. I had a thousand and sixty. And so I slept for the next hundred and twenty years. I was wondering if our pleasure of dancing was a lie on an evening. I've been hearing stories about you. You defeated an entire native army single-handed. For a fact, it was only a brigade. You also understared a camel. It was a small, juice-slut deer. But old idea. Oh, let's dance. Let's go outside by the water for a few moments. All right. Ah, smell a hink of deep-saber. Let me take it and don't let it get away from you. You'll see when you close your eyes and smell the sea. Come with us. And I see you in there. You're looking as though you're a part of it. I see little boys with your eyes. You're shaking yours and shaking yours. And you're angry. I'm in and out of those bangles. And I think it would last. What do you see? I see veils filled with wind. Sometimes a fever is swelling. And sometimes it's rocking. And ready for a brothel. I see the indies. I see islands. Trees again in the yellow moon. They're bananas and cream. That's within reach of your hand. Cliffs. And I see a blinking of... You see the ends of the wool. I smell it and see. Home. That's the difference between us. So this is where we say goodbye, Constance, my dear. Oh, no. Try it here. I couldn't live the life of an honest man. I've had no practice. Do you want to domesticate me like a cow or a dog? Do you want to put veins instead of blood in our place? Place? Place? Please, so? I'd have a week that you'd hate me. Some things that ages, my dear. You love me? Constance, what's the good of that? I'd like to know. You've never said it. Yes. I love you. I'm going to have a great heart. Leave me. Yes, I'll leave you. When are you going? Yes, in an hour. Well, if you'd rather wife, I'm here with you. That's the spirit. Your fingers at me. Tell me to go on behind. There are plenty of other men just as attractive as pirates and more honest. Not as attractive as I am. I am a very special even among pirates. Yes, you certainly are. You haven't got a heart. But your heart should be. You've got to come. Careful, you don't let yourself creep over that cutlass. You might get your feelings hurt. Oh, I love you. Good. Now we're on the same hat. And with that, I bid you an affectionate good night and goodbye. I am, I am, I am. I don't want them. I don't want them. I don't want harder for you to forget me. Good night. Goodbye. Oh, John. John. Oh, Ed. We're off an adventure, off an adventure, off an adventure, off an adventure again, eh? Yes, of course. Where are we bounder? We bounder. We bounder. I don't know, pal. We're off an a lot. We're off an a lot. Are we running away? Yes, Dominic. You might say we are. We're running away from domesticity. Domesticity. From cottage, from cottages and ruffles. We're going back into a man's world. Myself, myself. I like a man's world. That's your great week? Hell, it's late. And for a while. Puzzle. Steady as you can. Good night, boys. The end. Oh, Pirate. Dominic, you stop playing. I'm going to help my quarters. My quarters. And on my ship. I'll hold the curtain. And you'll have to make me. I'll make you no concession. You're going right back to New Orleans. No, I'm not. I'm learning Hindi. I'm learning Hindi. I'm going, I'm going. I'm freezing against cliffs where the cliffs, where the cliffs, where the mountains have been coming in the harbor. I'm going. Isn't it like cottages and fires and things? You don't send me back. I love you. Don't hide you. Yes, you do. The stars and the winds. And what are you about? You're cutting twists. And who are you going? I am subjectioned unto myself. I see. Right. You're got the throne between us. Well, well, I have to put up with it. I have to put up with it. What? Like it. You're a bad, and a shrewd, tempered scrap, whatever there was. I expect you're up to me. Don't keep them thin for some, and my youth. Oh, yes. You can be very sure of that. I love you. My everything, all right. Everything's wonderful, Dominic. Everything wonderful. This is a good time to tell you I have a wife with you. No, it's not a good time. Good night. This time, if I ask you to kiss me. Just in your chin. Huh? Yes. Yes, I must admit it. Good ship, the crew, and should I tell you something? I did it all my sing... Ah. Injust a good, injust a good, injust a good, exciting, exciting, folks, isn't it especially in summertime you have a day ruined or a nice rest before and what it is when you get rid of them? Why mourners of people are drops of Vatron and relief. First, because of dedication and irritation, it helps clearance to make breathing. So try Vatronol, Vatronol. You're really in for the breathing comfort. Breathing comfort brings heat.
